This invention relates generally to a multi-terminal connector for joining two electrical cables or joining a cable to a mounted fixture such as a panel receptacle.
In such a connector it is desirable that connection and disconnection be made easily and quickly and that the connections, when made, be highly reliable. It is also desirable and often imperative that there be no inadvertent touching of the contacts except as desired in order to eliminate damage to connected circuits. In this regard, it is desirable that means be employed to keep the contacts separated to avoid inadvertent touching until the connector parts are properly aligned and in position to establish electrical contact. Once aligned, connection should be made easily and securely as the contacts are engaged. While the contacts are engaged, they should be free from external forces which would otherwise disturb their electrical continuity.
The invention is embodied in a multi-terminal biparte rotary connector assembly including a plug and receptacle. The plug is made of insulating material having a generally circular first end with an axial aperture in the first end for receiving an anti-separation and polarization stud in a singular orientation. A plurality of rounded electrical contacts are exposed on the first end of the plug. The receptacle also is of insulating material and has a generally circular opening to mate with the first end of the plug and has an anti-separation and polarization stud disposed axially of this opening. The stud is inserted into and, when fully inserted, is rotated with respect to the plug aperture to releaseably lock the plug and receptacle in a singularly oriented and mated position. A plurality of rounded electrical contacts are exposed inside the opening of the receptacle and positioned so that the plug contacts engage the receptacle contacts only when the polarization stud is received into the axial aperture and the plug is rotated with respect to the receptacle to its locked position. As the plug is rotated, the apexes of the plug contacts slide past the apexes of the receptacle contacts to inhibit counter-rotation.
Strain relief may be provided for the electrical cables where they attach to the connector assembly.
FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a rotary connector employing teachings of this invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a receptacle as in FIG. 1 adapted for mounting in a panel.
FIG. 3 is a longitudinal cross section of the connector of FIG. 1 showing a plug inserted into a receptacle in the locked position.
FIG. 4 is a side view of a contact used in the plug and receptacle of FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5A and 5B.
FIG. 5A is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 3 showing a plug inserted into a receptacle in the unlocked position with no contact engagement.
FIG. 5B is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 3 showing a plug inserted into a receptacle in the locked position with the contacts engaged.
FIG. 6 is an end view of a plug looking towards the cable end.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved multi-terminal connector assembly for joining two multi-conductor electrical cables.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an electrical connector which may be coupled only in the desired position and insure isolation of the plug contacts from the receptacle contacts unless the connector parts are correctly mated.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an electrical connector whose plug and receptacle portions mate easily with a minimum of force.
It is a further object of this invention to provide an improved circular connector affording so-called zero insertion force, i.e. without wiping contact between the contacts during insertion or withdrawal.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide an improved anti-separation and polarization device to insure that the plug and receptacle may be joined in only the desired orientation, and once joined, remain so until unlocked.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide an improved set of contacts which provide reliable electrical continuity and help maintain the plug and receptacle in their mated position.
These and other objects will become readily apparent from this present specification, drawings, and appended claims.
As seen in FIG. 1 of the drawings, a connector plug 1 and a connector receptacle 2 are shown in line with strain relief means 3 for both the plug 1 and receptacle 2. The strain relief may be utilized to grip the respective wires or cables to minimize strain on the contacts when the connector joins two electrical cables.
Referring also to FIG. 3 the plug 1 comprises a body which preferably is a unitary molding of insulating material, and a plurality of contacts 10A. A main body portion 11 is larger than a generally circular mating end 12. The main body 11 may be of any convenient shape. Extending through the main body 11 parallel to the axis thereof is a plurality of contact chambers 13 which continue to the mating end 12 to receive the contacts 10A. The chambers 13 are radially spaced from the main axis of said plug and allow sufficient insulating material between the contacts 10A, as at 13a of FIG. 5A, to insure electrical isolation of one contact from another. A contact guiding and stop shoulder 14 extends into each chamber 13 near its inner end. The number of chambers 13 may be varied in accordance with the number of contacts desired in a particular embodiment of the connector. The configuration of each chamber 13 and the respective shoulder 14 may be altered as desired to facilitate use and assembly of various contacts. Each contact 10A typically is attached to one end of a wire of a first cable (not shown) by a portion 44 prior to mounting in the connector body. Portion 44 is then disposed in the respective contact chamber 13 and extends therethrough to a portion 41 which is exposed on the mating end 12 of the plug 1. The chambers, and thus the contacts, typically are disposed at regular intervals along a common circle concentric with the plug.
Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 6, the plug body also includes a central web 32 defining an axial aperture 32A of irregular shape, within the mating end 12. Inwardly of the aperture 32A and on the same axis, the plug defines a recess 34 which is larger in average diameter than the irregular shape of aperture 32A.
Referring again to FIGS. 1 and 3, the connector receptacle 2 includes a body molded of insulating material and having an enclosing end 26 defining a generally circular opening 20. Said opening 20 has a larger diameter than the mating end 12 of plug 1 in order to mate with and enclose said mating end 12. The radial clearance between the mating end 12 and opening 20 may be varied in accordance with the particular contact design, provided the connector may be readily assembled and separated, and reliable electrical contact is maintained.
Disposed about the periphery of the opening 20 are receptacle contacts 10B for attachment to one end of the wires of a second cable (not shown) in the same manner as contacts 10A. Referring also to FIG. 3, and as with the plug 1, extending through the cable end 21 of the receptacle 2 are contact chambers 23 with contact guide shoulders 14. However, the chambers 23 are generally aligned with the inner surface defining opening 20, whereas the chambers 13 are generally aligned with the outer surface of end portion 12. The number of contact chambers 23 and contacts 10B in the receptacle 2 is usually equal to the number of chambers 13 and contacts 10A in the plug 1. In order to simplify maintenance and reduce costs, contacts of the same design and size may be used in the plug in the receptacle.
Both the plug 1 and the receptacle 2 include projections 15 for extending into corresponding openings 16 in the strain relief means 3 for detachable interconnection therewith. A cable clamping sleeve, e.g. of a tortuous path clamp design or a radially collaring gripper type (not shown), is provided in each shell 3, and a slotted tail 17 is provided for strain relief and cable retention to prevent undue strain on the contacts 10A and 10B from forces applied to an attached cable or wire.
An annular flange 25 at the distal end 26 of the receptacle 2 fits into a corresponding annular groove 26A in plug 1, or vice versa as desired. The groove 26A is located at the base of end portion 12, where the smaller diameter mating end 12 joins the larger diameter main body 11. This interface may be of a design, with or without a sealing gasket or ring, to exclude contaminants, such as gases, liquids, and foreign particles.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, an anti-separation and polarizing stud 30 is axially disposed in the receptacle opening 20. The stud 30 protrudes from a central web 30A of the receptacle body with which it is integral. An enlarged irregularly shaped head 31 corresponds to the shape of the axial aperture 32A in the mating end 12 of the plug 1. The head 31 and aperture 32A are shaped so that insertion is possible only when the two shapes are aligned in one desired orientation, thereby insuring correct polarity between the plug 1 and receptacle 2. The head 31 may also be radially compressible and larger, in its rest state, than the aperture 32A, e.g. of a bifurcated design as illustrated. The head 31 includes leading cam surfaces 31A and is compressed, once aligned with the aperture 32A, as it is squeezed through the aperture 32A, and expands in recess 34 once inserted. Shoulder 35 on head 31 bears against shoulder 36 formed by web 32 between aperture 32A and recess 34 upon expansion, and further upon relative rotation of the two connectors. This engagement precludes removal of the stud 30 and head 31 and hence precludes separation of the connectors except upon realignment of the stud head 31 with aperture 32A and compression of the bifurcated head. The resilience of the material provides the spring action of the head 31.
Referring to FIG. 5A, the axial orientation of the head 31 and the receptacle contacts 10B is such that when the head 31 is congruently aligned with the plug aperture 32A, the receptacle contacts 10B are positioned between but not engaging the plug contacts 10A.
The head 31 may be removed from recess 34 by rotating the plug 1 to align the shape of the head 31 with that of the aperture 32 and deliberately applying sufficient longitudinal force to compress the head 31 and remove it from recess 34. So long as the plug 1 and receptacle 2 are separated and the head 31 is not aligned with the aperture 32, abutment of the head 31 against the web 32 or the mating end of the plug 1, without fitting into the aperture 32A, prevents inadvertent touching of the plug contacts 10A and the receptacle contacts 10B, and thereby prevents damage to the connected electrical circuits.
Referring now to FIG. 6, the configuration of aperture 32A in the plug 1, as defined by web 32, corresponds to the shape of the head 31 on stud 30. Once the head 31 is fully inserted, it may be rotated counterclockwise as shown until the lateral surfaces of the head 31 abut against the ridges 36 formed by web 32.
Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, identical contacts 10 may be used in the plug 1 and receptacle 2. The exposed contacting portion 41 has an elongated domed or rounded shape in this example, but may take on any convenient shape such as a button or blade. The exposed surface 41 of the plug contacts 10A may interfere with the exposed surface portion 41 of the receptacle contacts 10B after the plug 1 has been inserted into the receptacle 2 and the plug is rotated. A circumferential ridge or rib 42 on each contact results in a substantial pressure increase at the point where the ridge 42 bears against the mating contact surface 41 and thereby maintains very low electrical contact resistance. A tab 43 extends from the contact body and interferes with the respective guide rib or shoulder 14 in the contact chamber 23 to lock the contact in place. The terminal portion 44 of the contact 10 is crimped around an electrical conductor, such as a wire from a cable. The crimping attachment may be accomplished prior to insertion of each contact into its chamber 23.
Referring to FIG. 1, the panel mount receptacle 4 is identical to the connector receptacle 2 so that it may accept the same connector plug 1. However, it may be attached to a panel or other relatively smooth surface by attaching a panel mount collar 51 over projections 15. Resilient stop wings 52 protrude from said collar 51 for resiliently bearing against a panel opening. These wings 52 may include a locking lip or groove or be tapered to prevent inadvertent removal of the collar, as is well known in the art.
A multi-conductor cable is inserted through slotted tail 17 of the strain relief means 3. One contact 10 is connected to each conductor in said cable and said contacts are inserted into contact chambers 13 of the appropriate receptacle or plug. Said contacts 10 are held in place as tabs 43 snap over and thereafter bear against guide ribs 14 in contact chambers 13 while the contact shoulder 44 bears against the opposite sides of the ribs 14. This precludes further inward movement or retraction of the contacts.
Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 3, and utilizing either a connector receptacle 2 or a panel mount receptacle 4, the connector plug 1 is pressed against the connector receptacle 2. The head 31 of the anti-separation and polarization stud 30 contacts the mating end 12 of plug 1 and prevents the connector contacts 10A from engaging the receptacle contacts 10B. As the connector plug 1 is rotated with respect to receptacle 2, the irregularly shaped connector aperture 32A aligns with the correspondingly shaped head 31 of the polarization stud 30. Once aligned, the mating end 12 of plug 1 is inserted into the opening 20 of receptacle 2 concurrently as the polarization stud is inserted into aperture 32A as the plug is being inserted into the receptacle. The plug contacts 10A thereby are spaced between the receptacle contacts 10B. As the plug 1 is inserted into the receptacle 2, the aperture 32A radially compresses the polarization head 31 until the plug 1 is completely seated into the opening 20. Once seated, the head 31 expands to its usual diameter in recess 34 inhibiting the separation of the plug 1 and receptacle 2. This provides an audible, positive snap action lock to insure proper insertion of the plug 1. Once the head 31 is clear of aperture 32, plug 1 may be rotated with respect to receptacle 2 to engage the contacts. As rotation occurs, the exposed portion 41 of the contacts 10A and 10B engage each other at their respective circumferential ridges 42 and rotation continues until the apexes 43A of the plug contacts 10A slide just past the apexes 43B of the receptacle contacts 10B to inhibit counter-rotation (see FIG. 5B). The plug 1 is removed from receptacle 2 by reversing the above procedure and applying sufficient unlocking torque in the direction indicated in FIG. 5B to overcome the contact pressure.
The invention has been described in detail with particular reference to a preferred embodiment and the operation thereof, but it is understood that variations, modifications, and the substitution of equivalent mechanisms can be effected within the spirit and scope of this invention, particularly in light of the foregoing teachings.

The Left's Case for Boycotting Obama in November 2012
Three years in, it's obvious to all but the most willfully obtuse liberals and progressives that their 2008 votes for Obama have not paid off.
The president blames obstructionist Republicans for his lack of action on, well, everything. His blame-the-GOP argument would be plausible if not for one thing: Before the Republicans swept the 2010 midterms, Obama had enormous political capital, a supportive media and Democratic control of both houses of Congress.
Had Obama wanted, he could have governed to the left. Far to the left. To the left of FDR.
Remember how scared we were? The economy was in freefall. We lost 600,000 jobs the month he took office. We would have gone along with anything he asked for, including a new WPA program and permanent jobless benefits.
He didn't ask.
Obama didn't govern like a liberal because he didn't want to. He didn't want to because he's not a liberal.
It goes like this:
"Voting for Obama sucks. He's just going to do more stuff I hate, like bailing out banksters and starting more wars while ignoring the terrible economy. But what else can I do? I can't vote for some science-denying, Bible-thumping Republican ignoramus who'd be even worse.
"Not voting? That's almost as bad as voting Republican. With so much at stake, there's no choice but to hold my nose and vote Democratic."
This powerful argument has kept liberals in the Democratic fold since 1976, when Jimmy Carter pushed the party to the right with his huge defense build-up.
Fear of a GOP nation drove them to vote for Bill Clinton, even though his major accomplishments--welfare reform, NAFTA and the WTO--were right-wing.
There's always something at stake. Every election is "one of the most important elections of our lifetimes." As a result, there hasn't been a liberal presidential nominee for 40 years. Mainly, this is because liberal voters are willing to vote for right-wing Democrats.
Here's what I tell them:
First and foremost, your vote (or lack thereof) cannot and will not put Rick Perry or Mitt Romney or Sarah Palin in the White House. It's simple statistics. By definition you can only change one vote: your own. And no state's electoral votes have ever come down to a single vote.
No election in U.S. history has ever come down to one vote. Not even a local one.
Even in Florida in 2000, the outcome hinged on about 150 ballots. I don't care how big your family or circle of friends is--you are not going to change 75 or more votes one way or the other. Mathematically speaking, your vote is purely symbolic.
Point two: Democratic Party strategists take liberal voters for granted. Don't take my word for it; check out books by Washington insiders like former Clinton pollster Dick Morris and "The Political Brain" author Drew Westen. Democratic leaders obsess over "Reagan Democrats," "soccer moms," "security moms" or whatever catchphrase equates to "swing voter" during a given year--people who might vote Republican one election, Democratic the next. That's why "Democrats" run as--and govern like--Republicans.
As for liberals, progressives and leftists, Democrats ask: Where else are they going to go?
Refusing to vote for Obama answers their question: If you don't stop taking us for granted, we will take our votes elsewhere--whether to the Republicans, a third party, or limbo, boycotting the process altogether.
Point three: Voting for immoral leaders makes you immoral.
Most Americans and the vast majority of lefties were against the U.S. occupation of Afghanistan. During the campaign Obama pledged to send even more troops there. From a moral standpoint, the blood of every Afghan wounded or killed after January 2009 is on the hands of those of us who pulled a lever, pushed a button or punched a chad for Barack Obama. (That includes me.)
Obama lied about other issues. He promised to close Gitmo, to push for a real healthcare plan (one with a public option), and to withdraw from Iraq. Now, however, we know that he lied.
Knowing what you know now, a vote for Obama in 2012 would be an enthusiastic vote of support for torture, extrajudicial assassinations, drone attacks, corporate healthcare, doing nothing about jobs and staying in Iraq. Your eyes are open. A liberal who votes for Obama would be directly responsible for the torture, the killings, and the suicides of the desperately unemployed.
The two-party trap is the sort of sick game that sadistic concentration camp guards like to play.
"I'm going to shoot this old man or this little boy. You decide which. If you refuse to choose, I'll shoot both."
There is only way to deal with ideological terrorists:
Let evil scum do what they like. You can't stop them anyway. If the guard shoots both the man and the boy, it's a terrible crime--but the blood is all on his hands.
For a progressive, voting for Obama is like asking the camp guard to shoot one person rather than two. In the short run, it seems like the right decision. In the long run, the man and the boy die--and it'll partly be your fault.

Saying the Toronto Maple Leafs need help this season before they can make a legitimate push for the playoffs is not a shock to anyone. They've shown improvements on defense, and the goal tending too—-a major step forward since Vesa Toskala packed his bags and left Toronto, but there are still a ton of questions up front.
They're one of the lowest scoring teams in the league, their power play is dismal most nights, and until they get a certified top six center man, they're not going to be as dangerous as they need to be to make a push for the playoffs.
When it comes to trades, Brian Burke doesn't have a whole lot to work with as far as who he can ship out, because he's dealing with big contracts, no-trade clauses or just plain not enough skill when it comes to players on his team he'd be willing to give up.
But after last season's blockbuster moves it would be stupid to put it past Burke to make a significant move this season and bring in some much needed offense before the team possibly falls out of contention.
Here are 15 players who could be on their way to Toronto this season and help them make a push into the playoff race, in no particular order.

Share this:
Unwilling to stand pat or rest on their laurels, the band—lead vocalist/bassist John Cooper, guitarist/keyboardist Korey Cooper (John's wife), drummer/duet partner Jen Ledger and lead guitarist Seth Morrison, making his first appearance on record with Skillet—continue to explore new terrain on 'Rise', expertly produced by Howard Benson, who previously helmed the mega-successful 'Awake'.
It isn't just the songs themselves that make Rise so gripping, it's also the song sequences—like the radical contrast between the almost unbearable tension of 'Sick of It' suddenly giving way to the ecstatic release of 'Good to Be Alive,' or the way the closing three-song progression of 'My Religion,' 'Hard to Find' and 'What I Believe' builds to a thrilling musical, thematic and emotional crescendo.
Clearly, these songs and the album as a whole are embedded with an impassioned overarching message. This message courses with a tidal pull through Skillet's entire body of work, but on Rise, it's artfully woven into a gripping coming-of-age narrative. This sprawling work stands as the band's first concept album—though it wasn't premeditated.

[Verse 1]
Did I say that out loud, let me backtrack
I know my game ain't that bad
Have you ever made out with a Gap ad?
And girls want what they can't have
So I don't text back when the screen flash
You love me? You mean cash
Need a friend you can fuck, I can be that
Crush girls now, couldn't last year
Oh, you like me now, well that's weird
Last year you were chillin' with Lil Wayne
Now you wanna pretend like my feelings is still the same?
My work is my playtime
I need you to understand and to stay fine
Do this and I just might wife you
Let me poke you ma, Raichu
Fuck your life
I don't really think I drank enough tonight
Lookin' at you, make me wanna fuck for life
Lame-ass dudes gon' suck tonight
But so are these girls, am I wrong or right?
Girl, do somethin' to me
"Nah, baby, you way too hood for me"
Y'all girls have never been good for me
Watch a nigga take over, mutiny
I wanna fuck with the lights on
Hey, girl, let a python slide on
Stay sick, infect me, Lysol
I'm on the edge, they hopin' that I might fall
I make it work, I'm runnin' with a new crew
And we do dope shit you ain't used to
For me, by me, fuck Fubu
This girl never heard of me, go and check YouTube
I got a house with a dope view
See the ocean, dope shit, you an '06, I'm an '02
But enough about high school
I'm gettin' laid, or I'm gettin' lied to
You my stand-in Cameron, let me be your A-Rod
You number one in The Pack, Based God
Should I say somethin' dumb to give us somethin' to fight about?
Never mind, lights out
I want the lights turned on
Show me how you do it
Show me what you doin'
I don't wanna lose
Have them lights turned on
Show me what you doin'
Show me what you do to me, me

Then there are days when I know the information is there -- like a census record that I want to look at again. But the new search screen does not bring up the record. One day I went to Heritage Quest just to make sure and foudn the record I want. Back to Ancestry with no results. After entering several different city and county combinatins, the record finally appeared. Very frustrating.

Latest article just published
Here's some info on the first installment of my new book project, just published in
Novel: A Forum on Fiction, Vol. 48, No. 2.
Proust and Language-in-Use
This article is in part an attempt to demonstrate Proust's interest in the sociological functioning of talk, where talk is viewed not solely as a medium for communication but also as one in which social work of various kinds is accomplished via nonsemantic features of language. The article also poses the question of what it would mean to approach literary artifacts as forms of language-in-use similar to talk, finding inspiration in Proust's Recherche for elaborating an answer to that question. Attention to nonsemantic, pragmatic, indexical features of talk (habits of pronunciation, rhythms of speech, accent and intonation, word choice, etc.) reveals the occurrence through the use of those features of key forms of sociocultural activity (the production and maintenance of social identities, the reproduction of aspects of a social order, attempts to modify some part of that order). Proust's Recherche demonstrates a keen interest in this kind of language use. Thinking of literary artifacts themselves as examples of language-in-use involves a shift of attention from "the work itself" to the web of social-indexical relations in which any given literary artifact comes to participate throughout its existence (and to the signs, the indexes, within the work and outside it, that signal those relations). Proust's novel, along with the work of M. M. Bakhtin, Pierre Bourdieu, Michael Silverstein, and others, suggests ways of thinking about how meaning unfolds, develops, happens in time around literary artifacts—how different kinds of value accrue to them—thanks to the social-indexical relations established through their use.

Conference at Columbia University and Spring in Oxford.
I'm really excited to be spending a couple months this spring (mid-April until the end of June) as a visiting fellow of All Souls College, Oxford. While in Oxford I'll be working on my new book project, "Proust, Sociology, Talk, Novels: The Novel Form and Language-in-Use." The first installment from this new project will be an article called "Proust and Language-in-Use" in an upcoming issue of Novel.
I'll be returning to San Francisco on July 5, and will pick up my yoga teaching schedule again at that point. The class at Bija Yoga (11 am Saturdays) is suspended during my absence. The class at IYISF (6 pm Fridays) will be meeting. John Hayden will be teaching it while I am away.
I'll be stopping in NYC on my way to England for a conference at Columbia University devoted to Simone de Beauvoir, Violette Leduc and Monique Witting. Program information here.
The Feminist Press is reissuing Leduc's Thérèse and Isabelle in June with an afterword by yours truly. Keep your eyes out for it!

Artist: Driver Friendly
Album: Bury a Dream
It's not where we are going
Or where we have been
And when we finally get there,
It still won't be the end
Question everything, let go
Faith is not knowing all the answers and still following them into the dark
It's why we sing the songs we sing, 'cause they're in our hearts
And all the ghosts we can't see, honestly, they don't mean anything
And the sobering perspective is there's no absolute corrective
To guarantee this is the path we need
Bury a Dream
Watch it Grow
Question everything
Let go of what you can't hold
I sing because I can't help it
It gives me strength to know you're there
I want your eyes, your ears
The collapsible space between us
I'm alive to fill the airAll the while I'll know you

There were some beautiful roses (among other flowers) blooming around the corner from my work, and since I carry a camera around everywhere I go, I thought I'd snap some pics for reference purposes. And then I thought I'd share these with anyone who would like to use them. So enjoy! Don't say I never gave ya nothin'…
In the year 1990 the general public was introduced to a guy named Guy. Guy was a young artist from Chicago who had apprenticed under Bob Oslon. Right out of the gate Guy's tattoo work was something special, and decades later Guy would be know as one of the leaders in the field of tattoo education. But this was 1990, little did the tattoo world know what it was in store for.
Outlaw Biker Tattoo Revue #7 1990
At the time tattoo magazines were still trying to find a voice (and a place to be sold!) and there was very little out there for rabid tattoo fans to get a hold of. So when these issues hit the stands, they were scooped up like gold in a stream. There was no internet, so published tattoo photos were studied and memorized and filed away for future reference. The magazines were primarily filled with biker tattoos, but the times were quickly changing. Then along comes Guy.
The article was written by Guy's then girlfriend Lorri Jackson, and gives great insight into his early career and motivation. And is just a great read all by itself.
Guy can be found at Tattoo Education.com and his own website, Guy Aitchison.com

Haruo Nakajima (l) and Katsumi Tezuka (r) 1964, on the Mothra vs. Godzilla set
In 1954, producer Tomoyuki Tanaka had little time to come up with a replacement movie idea for Toho's schedule when production of a current movie was abruptly cancelled. While on a flight from Jakarta to Tokyo, he stared out into the sea and his thoughts turned to the recent tragedy of Lucky Dragon No.5.
Storyboard sketch from "Godzilla" 1954
Mr. Tanaka ran with this idea and combined it with the premise of an upcoming American film titled "The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms". The concept was about a dinosaur awkakend by nuclear tests in the Arctic, and was modified to H-bomb tests in the South Pacific. The original title was "Kaitei Niman-ri Karakita Daikaiju" or "The Giant Monster from 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea". Code named "Project G", mystery/fiction writer Shigeru Kayama was brought on board to come up with a treatment based on his and special effects genius Eiji Tsuburaya's ideas.
Promotional poster for Godzilla 1954
Not since 1938 had there been a monster movie in Japan, so director Ishirō Honda was hired and soon the treatment was a screenplay. Godzilla was conceived as a metaphor for nuclear weapons, and as the film series expanded, some stories took on less serious undertones portraying Godzilla as a hero. But Godzilla's attacks on Tokyo were seen as an incarnation of war itself, and the company's approach was to treat this "monster movie" as seriously as they would treat any other production. A monster movie with a social conscience.
American lobby card for "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" 1954
The origin of the name Gojira is shrouded in mystery…legend has it that a nameless Toho employee who worked on the lot apparently had the physical prowess of a gorilla and the stature of a whale (kujira). Gorilla + kujira = Gojira. As legend has it…
Godzilla stars Akira Takarada and Momoko Kochi and an unfinished Godzilla suit 1954
The suit itself weighed in at a whopping 220 lbs, and 2 separate actors switched back and forth when filming became to physically exhausting. It was cut into 2 sections for different shots and there was even a hand puppet Godzilla used for his nuclear breath close-ups.
Haruo Nakajima and Godzilla 1966
61 years ago today, Godzilla was unleashed on the public. And Tokyo has never been the same.
"YellowMan founder Peter Mui had only two fears: throwing a party and having nobody show up, and stage fright. But Monday evening, October 19th, 2009, at the Hiro Ballroom in NYC, Peter Mui was center stage to a packed house filled with an extremely diverse crowd, assembled together to honor his life and his legacy. The Hiro Ballroom, at the Maritime Hotel in NYC's Chelsea district, set a fitting atmosphere of cultural diversity, an attribute that was important to Peter Mui." (From Yellowman's WordPress blog)
Peter in his offices in the fashion district NYC
In 2007 I was approached by Peter to contribute to his t-shirt line, Yellowman, and little did I know just what I was in for. I knew he had approached other tattoo artists to design shirts (ala Ed Hardy on steroids style) but I didn't know exactly how extensive his collection had already become.
This was tattoo art as high fashion. And Peter was not joking around. I had a meeting with him at his offices to discuss different properties he was considering, and to my surprise the entire collection was there in his office.
Original large scale pieces of artwork by some of this generations leading tattoo artists were scattered all over the room. Art by Japanese greats Horiyoshi 3 and Horitomo, Filip and Titine Leu, California greats like Aaron Cain and the crew at Black Heart tattoo, and American Traditional master Bob Roberts among others. The list went on and on with plenty of other American and European artists being represented by their art, it was an amazing sight to behold.
And now, for the first time ever, part of this amazing assortment ment can be seen and purchased. Live Auctioneers is selling over 500 pieces from Peter's personal collection, and it's quite possibly the largest accumulation of art by tattooers EVER.
Instead of posting pictures from the pieces that are already being sold via their website, I decided to share some of the other artwork that hasn't hit the chopping block yet. Here are some of my favorites:
And last but not least, here are a few of my Marvel Ink shirts that made print, but that's another story for another time…
Peter Mui was a true patron of the arts, and a great guy to boot. It's wonderful that the public finally has a chance to see what Peter had done for/with tattoo artists. Although he had no tattoos himself, he had planned traveling the world and working on a body suit before his untimely demise. Which is too bad, because anything Peter did was an adventure. Just ask anyone who knew him.
Below are photos I took at his memorial in 2009. R.I.P. Peter, I'm a better person for knowing you. You got me enthusiastic about making art again, and for that I am truly grateful.
Well another Baltimore Comic-Con has come and went, and as usual, it was as fun as ever. The costume contest gets bigger and bigger every year, but due to a seemingly last minute scheduling change, I ended up missing it this go 'round. But there were still enough great costuming to be seen, and please remember, all these are 100% hand made (for the most part) and cosplay has become a huge attraction for these types of events. The fans put in tremendous hours of work into their craft, so sit back and enjoy some of my favorite costumes from this year. See you next September…
Went to the always exciting Baltimore Comic-Con today, and as usual it was Kirby Madness…
One of my favorite dealers always brings a good chunk of Jack Kirby originals to the show, and this year was no exception. This time he had a bunch of original penciled pieces, and here they are for your viewing pleasure!
Some of Jack's work for DC comics New Gods
Some unpublished/incomplete concepts for Malibu comics (possibly?)
And although this piece is inked, it still is glorious and just imagine the possibilities
And just for the sake of it, some vintage classic splashes and covers. This is why they called him King.

Pity Labour's male MPs and candidates
Both Grant Robertson and David Cunliffe have pledged that Labour's post 2014 caucus under their leadership will be 50% women. Technically this is a decision for the Labour Party organisation, but what they are effectively saying is that as Leader they will encourage the party to use whatever mechanisms they have to achieve this. This means that the man ban may be back, as they have both said they won't stop the party adopting it.
But regardless of whether the man ban returns, the pledge for 50% women in their caucus is very bad news for their rival Shane Jones, and also for former Party President Andrew Little. You see in 2011 a 50/50 quota would have seen both Andrew Little and Shane Jones not make it into Parliament.
In this blog post in July, I looked at what a 50/50 quota would have meant for Labour under every MMP election. It would have been the equivalent of a suicide note. They would have lost Michael Cullen in 1999 and 2002 for example as they would not have got any male List MPs at all. So it doesn't matter how they ranked their Male candidates – none would have got in on the list under the quota favoured by Robertson and Cunliffe.
Now it is almost inevitable that one of them will become Leader, unless Jones can pull off an upset, which means that Labour will have this quota for 2014. So who are the losers?
First are the current male List MPs. Basically they're outski. Little, Jones and maybe even Cosgrove are gone. If O'Connor doesn't hold his seat he could be gone also.
The other losers are new male candidates. The message is that there is no chance of a winnable list spot if they are male.
Labour holds 22 electorate seats. If a male replaces Dalziel, then 15 electorate MPs are male and seven are female. That means the top eight places on the list must be reserved for women.
This will make it harder for male candidates not just to get into Parliament but also to win electorate seats, as to win a seat off the other party often needs a two or three term strategy where you come in as a List MP, and then use that to build up profile so you can win the seat itself the next election.
This makes it very interesting for Andrew Little. If either Robertson or Cunliffe win, he may end up being out of Parliament under their quota policies. So who will he support? Could Jones pick up vote in caucus by pointing out to the male List MPs that many of them are goners if the other two win?

Dear select horrible customers at Rockeys Dueling Piano Bar,
Congratulations. Your awfulness truly knows no bounds.
You know who you are (or at least your friends reminded you Sunday morning).
For those of you unaware, the news of Jeff Driskel requiring season-ending surgery to repair his fractured right fibula drew cheers from drunken patrons at Rockeys on Saturday night.
Granted, I know they were drunk. And yeah, I'm sure that not everybody there cheered Driskel's injury like a mob of soulless monsters.
But damn. That's awful.
I don't mean to pile on the folks hanging out at Rockeys. They were far from the only people who were inexplicably giddy at somebody else's misfortune.
I'm talking to everybody now.
For both football reasons and humanity in general, celebrating Driskel's injury is dumb.
Seriously, why the hell would you cheer about someone getting injured? That's just being unnecessarily cruel to your fellow man.
I could live with a subdued celebratory fist pump if an oppressive dictator like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sprained his ankle or something, but cheering when a college quarterback with NFL aspirations has to sit out with a broken bone in his leg is simply unwarranted.
I get why Gators fans aren't exactly showering Driskel with love and support right now. By no means am I saying to coddle the guy.
His field vision isn't very good, his pocket presence is lacking and he tends to try to force throws into tight coverage rather than simply throwing the ball away. Also, the guy ideally should have made more progress from Year 1 to Year 2 as a starter.
Hell, his final play of the season was an awful pick-six that put UF behind UT early.
Boo him all you want when he screws up on the field. Make fun of his jock strap wedgie that looks like a thong. That's your prerogative.
But when Driskel the person is beaten down, don't revel in his misery.
Even if you want to take all of the humanity and decency out of this conversation and focus solely on the on-field issues, cheering and celebrating Driskel's injury is stupid.
If you think Tyler Murphy is going to solve this team's offensive problems, then I want to party with you during the next bye week. That drug sounds nice.
Murphy did an excellent job of taking over for Driskel in Florida's 31-17 win against Tennessee on Saturday. He showed great poise, good speed and a solid throwing arm.
But there's a reason the junior only attempted his first career pass on Saturday. There's a reason he somehow didn't see the field in the awful quarterback year that was 2010.
John Brantley, anyone?
How Murphy fares under center for the rest of the season is anybody's guess, but he isn't going to win games for the Gators. Don't let Saturday's victory make you delusional.
Let's see how Murphy does against a defense that isn't a dumpster fire.
In the mean time, think before acting like a jerk to a guy you've never met.
Think about walking up Stadium Road to Turlington Plaza on crutches. Think about a bunch of random strangers drunkenly toasting your fractured fibula.
Just think.
