I think this reaction from Hank Hill pretty much sums up my feelings on the shirt.
Well, that's... tacky.
I understand this shirt. Thank you Science class!
This shirt is all sides of awesome. Well done!
Didn't think I'd like it, but I do. Must be the face. Or the fact that it reminds me of how much I didn't like The Wall when I was dragged to see it with fresh shoulder sprain in college (pain is a mind altering event). And yes, I know this is different album. Doesn't change the feeling ; )
Also, nice take on the prism effect, which lichme reminded me I also understand.
Speaking of science: The other side of the Moon is properly called The Far Side of the Moon. NOT, as in Lucas's Force, "The Dark Side."
There must be a HUGE profit margin on Honduran shirts to have sent Woot! away from AA, but I have seen the poor workmanship in both brands. The AA just fits better, and is more flattering. OTOH, a "large" is actually a Large in Honduran cotton; ie it will fit the typical overweight American better than the shirts cut for those with healthier BMIs. At the end of the day, it is all about the profit. It is a shame we don't still have $10 AA shirts though. Those were the days. :-)
It's a Techni-color yawn!
The lunatic is on the grass... vomiting.
I would NOT wear this shirt even if it was free.
I don't like it. However, it does seem to match Woot's low class humor lately.
At first glance, I suspected this might involve Pandora.
Yes - I understand this shirt, and yes, on a different day I might have even liked it.
However, I am currently in that state of "3 months of constant nausea", so it instead made me run to the bathroom.
(*SIGH*) Nothing like be blind-sided right after breakfast. Thanks Woot......

"There is no Dark Side of the Moon, really.
As a matter of fact it's all dark."
I agree with others about the quality of the shirts. That said, I can't buy a shirt that perverts a Pink Floyd icon. Sort of like burning an American flag; I support your right to do it, but the act revolts me.
Output Machine Failing, Guys! this t-shirt is perfect for me, I hate Pink Floyd so damn much. All they need now is that triangle all pissed off throwing bricks with the caption, "Here's your other brick for your stupid wall, now shut up!"
had to do a little housekeeping, guyez.
sorry about that.
as we've said, like, a billion times, let's try to keep things focused on the product & not on the "would buy if it weren't on xyz" stuff. (if not for us, out of respect for the artist.)
we're painfully aware of that audience's opinion. we have threads dedicated to that feedback in World of Woot Shirts. but this thread is for a design featuring iconic rainbow vomit, so let's try to keep it appropriate!
Taste the Rainbow!
I never buy anything that's been barfed on. Just sayin'
Next album cover parody to see of this nature: Barf at the Moon...

+1. The choices have just been awful lately.
Normally I'm all over anything even remotely related to Pink Floyd, but I have to pass on this one.
The pattern is very cute. A pretty black t-shirt.

This one is no exception. Pass.

Ever since she won American Idol in 2005, America hasn't been able to get enough of this knockout songbird from Muskogee, OK. Needless to say, we don't expect that to be changing anytime soon.

Still haven't gotten a Valentine's Day gift for your love? Here are E! Online's list of the best and worst last minute gifts.
Best Last Minute Gifts:
Flowers: Lazy, but acceptable. Chocolates: Ditto, but a bit better than flowers because you can eat this gift. Unless the person you date is into eating flowers in which case it might be time for a breakup.
Jewelry: When we say "jewelry," we don't mean the plastic rings you get out of that sad-looking machine near the checkout lines at your local grocery store. Step up your game a bit and go to Target or something and find a piece of jewelry that has a heart or the word "love" on it. Spend over 20 bucks. Done.
Diamonds: Want to impress your significant other? Diamonds tell them that you aren't the most creative person, but at least you have enough money to buy them diamonds. They'll appreciate that.
A Kitten or Puppy: Did you clear it with them that they actually want a pet? Too bad. Once you show them a fluffy kitten or an adorable puppy, they'll forget all about the fact that they might not want the responsibility because look how cute its little nose is! Pretty soon their Instagram will be full of pictures of their new pet, and it's all because of you. They will almost definitely love their animal more than you, but at least you were the one who introduced them to the love of their life.
Mixed CD: This gift works especially well if your lover is a sucker for sappy crap. Just put a bunch of love songs on a CD and talk about how each song reminds you of their eyes, their laugh, etc.
Amazon Gift Card: Another lazy gift, but at least it's an awesome one! You can get whatever the hell you want off Amazon!
Worst Last Minute Gifts Sex
Coupons: Nobody wants these, even if you are willing to perform the duties listed on the coupons. Same goes for the coupons that say stuff like "I'll let you pick the movie we're watching on Netflix." You should be letting your boyfriend/girlfriend do that anyway (at least every once in a while), so this type of coupon only highlights how much you fail at being a significant other.
Giant Stuffed Animals: What the hell are we supposed to do with this thing? Dinner at a Romantic Restaurant: The last place you want to go to is a fancy restaurant on the evening of Valentine's Day. It's crowded and it will have a menu with jacked-up prices because it's a "special Valentine's Day menu." Cooking them dinner at home is better. It shows more effort and you don't have to wear pants. Win-win.
A Card: This screams "I just remembered Valentine's Day, so I swung by Walgreens on the way home and got this card that has a rhyming poem about soul mates and destiny. You're welcome." If you are buying a card, at least write something meaningful in it. Don't just sign your name at the bottom, for cupid's sake.
An STD: That's just rude.

YANGON – Myanmar's first stock exchange, which was set up with Japanese support, officially started trading Friday, more than three months after its official opening, though only one listed company was available for transactions.
On the Yangon Stock Exchange (YSX), First Myanmar Investment (FMI) hit a closing value of 31,000 kyats (around $26) at the end of the trading day, up 19 percent from its opening price.
YSX is being operated by a joint venture of the Daiwa Institute of Research; Japan Exchange Group Inc., which operates the Tokyo Stock Exchange; and the government-affiliated Myanma Economic Bank.
Myanmar has been working to set up financial and securities markets since a civilian government was established in 2011 after years of military rule. The Japanese Finance Ministry had cooperated with Myanmar in formulating the relevant laws, and Daiwa Securities Group Inc. had offered advice to local companies seeking to go public.
The Southeast Asian nation is in the midst of a dramatic transition from a graft-soaked backwater to a vibrant emerging economy, with Aung San Suu Kyi's party days away from forming a government.
Twenty years after it was first conceived, the Yangon exchange officially opened for trading with the clang of a bell and cheers from a business elite who are hungry for investment.
Maung Maung Thein, head of Myanmar's Securities and Exchange Commission, said it marked a "great day" for the country, which has now left the tiny club of nations without a functioning stock exchange.
"We can now proudly and mightily proclaim to the world that we are no longer a backward nation," he told an assembled crowd of business leaders at the YSX's restored colonial-era building in downtown Yangon.
Suu Kyi's incoming government will in the coming week replace a transitional administration of retired generals who oversaw five years of political and economic reforms that pumped life back into the resource-rich country of 51 million people.
But significant hurdles lie ahead in a nation that still lacks a credit rating and is grappling with entrenched corruption and widespread poverty.
First Myanmar Investment is one of the country's largest companies, with stakes in financial services, real estate and the aviation and health industries. The company is also involved in joint ventures with leading international firms, including Mitsubishi of Japan.
With its sister firm Yoma Strategic Holdings listed in Singapore, and with around 6,800 shareholders through an in-house system, FMI already has experience in stock trading and open investor relations, a rarity in Myanmar.
"We look forward to a buoyant economy, and we look forward to a robust Yangon Stock Exchange that will help many companies in Myanmar access capital and build their companies," said Myanmar tycoon Serge Pun, who runs FMI, at the opening ceremony.
Several other firms have been granted provisional approval to list, including the Japan-backed Thilawa Special Economic Zone, but have yet to finalize their preparations.
The bourse is currently open only to domestic investors and firms, although there are plans to allow foreign involvement in the future.
Officials hope to attract between 30 and 50 firms to list in the next five years.
The bourse has been greeted with enthusiasm by local investors.
But with little practical experience of shareholding, dozens of people every week have flocked to classes run by YSX to learn about the risks and rewards of trading.
"I have learned a lot from books because I think that a stock market is good for our country," said Soe Myint, 64, a retired officer from the Ministry of Energy who had arrived at the YSX hoping to buy FMI shares.

If you want to own the bible of speed for developing products, services or starting companies, Developing Products in Half the Time: New Rules, New Tools by Preston G. Smith and Donald G. Reinertsen is the book. It doesn't matter what industry, what product or service, this book will speed up your development process. Silicon Valley startup entrepreneurs use the principles – whether they know it or not, just by being exposed to the Silicon Valley culture.
I've read this book more than once. Actually, I'm reading it again – now. Every time I read it, I get new ideas of how to become more efficient, more productive and faster. The irony is that the book uses principles from the great Taiichi Ohno and the Toyota Production System. When you start reading it, you might assume every company uses these methods but, believe me, they're not. Not enough startup entrepreneurs are maximizing the principles to get out into the market faster. Some entrepreneurs use these principles, although they may have not read this book, because of lack of resources or due to necessity.
So, you want to get faster and quicker in rolling out your products, services or company? Just shrinking the "fuzzy front end" is worth 2X in speed. Dedicated, co-located, cross functional teams are good for at least another 4X. Effective overload management will bring roughly another 2X. Just these principles can give an entrepreneur and investor 8X in speed.
I have used these principles myself and they work. When I have not used the principles due to various circumstances (but there is really no excuse on my part not to use them) I have had projects that just stalled and achieved little result. These principles can be applied to developing anything. I've even used it in writing film scripts. My partner and I have been able to write production-ready film scripts in one to four weeks using the same principles.
If every entrepreneur and investor fully understood the principles of Developing Products in Half the Time, the world would become very interesting indeed.
One of the big things I got out of this book was that speed of development is one consideration but it's not the most important. That's the irony of the book. Smith and Reinertsen provide the "development tools" but they also give one of the best pieces of advice to any entrepreneur or investor:
"We must strongly reemphasize the message of the original book. Fast time to market is worth money – sometimes a great deal of money – but it is not universally good. The only way to determine which actions are appropriate in pursuing development speed is to know what cycle time is worth in financial terms. Since your competitors are getting faster, a sloppy approach to pursuing rapid development will become more and more expensive. In the future, the race is likely to go to those who buy cycle time at the right price." And at the right time as well.
Later in the book, the authors make a profound statement, which I ponder myself when looking at any idea, product, service or startup company: "It may well be that these companies are already going faster than the marketplace will support."
Developing Products in Half the Time is a must read book for all entrepreneurs, investors and inventors… period. End of discussion. I'm wasting time further explain it. Just get the book.
entrepreneurdex rating: 10 out of 10.

"Just got them in today and the quality is stunning! I am glad I did have a good high resolution picture for this project because the results were beautiful...crisp & clear image! Best invitaion I've ever done for sure =)."
"I made the card for my niece and she absolutely loved it. It would have been great to be able to edit or add more text to the standard wording on the card."
"This invitation was perfect for my daughter's 11th birthday party. She's a tween now and not really into any of the "kid" stuff anymore. I used a recital photo for the picture and she looked like a rock star. One of the parent's commented that it was the cutest invitation she had ever seen. Thanks Tiny Prints for offering such great products!"
"The product as a whole was just perfect!! We were worried when we ordered it but when we got the cards in they were just the way I had imagined them. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and eveyone because it is hassle free!!! And it's adjustable to everyone's preferences!!"
"I was looking for an invitation for an 80th and 85th (male) birthday, and this card was exactly what I was looking for. It's so hard not being able to see and feel the card, but it turned out to be a good weight and love the colors! (I went with the turquoise) With the black and white pictures, the invitation was a cross between vintage and modern...Love it!!"

Judaism: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) (original 1996; edition 2000)
by Norman Solomon
Work details
Judaism: A Very Short Introduction by Norman Solomon (1996)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Clear and interesting account covering history, religious thought and practice, home and family life, modern denominations, and responses to modern issues -- and all in 135 pages.
I decided to read this book and, while doing so, tried to read it as if I knew nothing about Judaism and was coming to the subject from the point of view of a Gentile rather than a Jew. While I felt that the author did an acceptable job of explaining some subjects, overall, I just didn't get the feeling that I learned what it meant to be a Jew or, maybe said different, what makes Jews "tick". The book told me quite a bit about the evolution of Judaism in post-biblical times and in the Middle Ages, but I didn't get any sense of what today's Jews believe (other than a few discussions of how the various segments of Judaism distinguish themselves from one another and a brief "throwaway" discussion of how Judaism addresses a few modern issues). Most problematic, I suppose, is that the Gentile reader who reads this book will not gain much insight into the meaning of Jewish holidays that they may encounter or some of the more simple rules upon which Jews base their lives.

Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0192853902, Paperback)Norman Solomon's succinct book is an ideal introduction to Judaism as a religion and way of life. In addition to surveying the nature and development of Judaism, this Very Short Introduction outlines the basics of practical Judaism -- its festivals, prayers, customs, and various sects. Modern concerns and debates of the Jewish people are also addressed, such as the impact of the Holocaust, the establishment of the State of Israel, the status of women, and medical and commercial ethics.
About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam

This Very Short Introduction introduces the reader both to the teachings of Judaism and to its integration into daily life, including information on festivals, prayers, customs and various sects. Originally published: 1996.

Every week, I'll share two albums I've been listening to. Feel free to list your favorite recent releases in the comments below.
Tweet your current favorite albums to @SeanMPhipps or email them to email@example.com.
Brian Eno, "Lux"
Click here to listen.
In brief:
According to Wikipedia, "Lux" is " the SI unit of illuminance and luminous emittance, measuring luminous flux per unit area." Oh, OK then! "Lux" is also the title of avant-garde composer Brian Eno's 25th studio album. The album consists of four tracks of ambient music, each just less than 20 minutes long. The compositions were written to accompany an Eno art exhibit.
What the critics think:
A return to ambient music, "Lux" has generated overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics since its release on Nov. 13. The AV Club says of "Lux" that "Eno has launched himself back into the firmament with ease—and with a renewed sense of grace." Musically, the album conveys a "sense of drift," according to Thom Jurek, a reviewer for All Music. He says, "Each section fades and disappears; the next emerges, quietly, unobtrusively, into another tonally and texturally different one that contains only the trace memory of what transpired previously." The New York Times describes "Lux" as "killingly beautiful," saying, "... We tend to look for controlled narrative, clear hooks and signposts and signifiers, and some sort of emotional path to learn more about its creator, whereas [Eno] likes to suppose that none of this matters." Other reviews include NME, Drowned in Sound and Pop Matters.
What I think:
I tackle ambient music much like I would a novel. "Lux" requires your attention initially, but you find yourself drifting—as one review stated above—in a world of your own conjuring. To me, the album almost induced the same feeling in me as the "Singing Bowls of Tibet": a sort of healing tension, if that makes any sense at all. I've listened to "Lux" three times now, with headphones, and each time, I've almost fallen asleep. This isn't a record for weekend joyrides, but instead an album of solitude and introspection. "Lux" is an illuminating light from a brilliant contemporary artist. It's Eno, man. Brian friggin' Eno. Highly recommended for a winter evening.
Jake Bugg
Listen to a few tracks here and here.
In brief:
Jake Bugg is an 18-year-old English songwriter whose self-titled debut album reached No. 1 on the UK charts when it released on Oct. 15. A U.S. release date has not been announced. Bugg's songs are described as a mixture of The Kinks, Dylan, Donovan, Oasis and Hendrix. He sounds straight out of the 1960s. Wonderful.
What the critics think:
Nine out of 10 stars for Jake Bugg's self-titled release, according to NME. The publication describes Bugg as a "frighteningly talented songwriter" and "the real deal." "His cues may not come from anywhere unexpected," they said, "but it's what he does with them that counts." A review in Mojo's November magazine says, "The teen delivers poetic social realism." Clash Music says, "Imagine Donovan singing about White Lightning, and you've got Jake Bugg." They also say Bugg has a "... distinctive sound that's certain to have mass appeal" and that "this teen troubadour is set to smash it." Finally, BBC Music likens Bugg's voice to that of Gene Pitney ("Town Without Pity"/"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"), calling it "... a piercing, precise tool, which lifts him above the laddish milieu. Ubiquity may beckon."
What I think:
Wow. Folk music is kind of my bag, and Jake Bugg is completely folk (with a little rockabilly/psychedelic thrown in the mix). Jake Bugg really wears his influences on his sleeve. The 14 tracks on Jake Bugg all make me wonder if I've heard them before. I haven't, but they all have a certain familiarity, which makes for an incredibly fun listen. This is very, very good music across the board. I cannot believe this singer is only 18 years old, and, at the same time, I can absolutely believe it. The songs (especially "Country Song" and "Broken") contain a worldly innocence that almost makes you uncomfortable. I have no idea how American audiences are going to react to Jake Bugg, but I can't wait to find out. And a final note: Jake Bugg reminds me of a very young and English Josh Ritter. Watch the video for "Trouble Town."

Quick and dirty (and cheap) frame rotisserie.
Now that the frame is built I needed to find a way to get it into the backyard for blasting. I also needed easy access to the underside and I was tired of fighting with my grandson to help me lift/move it. I started thinkin'. I've got a pair of cheap HF engine stands. One I've had since the 80's and the other I picked up on CL (brand new) for $10 for just such an occasion as this.
Build materials include the stands, a chunk of scrap steel and 1/2 a stick of 1" square tubing.
I built some front and rear structures, welded them to the rails and bolted the ends to the engine stand heads.
Had to make some mods to the stands. The main bars comes from the factory at a 30* angle.
I cut 'em off, trued and leveled 'em to a 90* angle. I added removable support bars (for breakdown purposes) and I removed the fixed casters and added turning casters so I could steer the beast!
I was gonna add a length of tubing between the stands but it turned out not to be necessary. The whole thing is very stable and balanced! Built the contraption in a day and it cost me virtually nothing 'cause I used materials I had on hand. I greased the inside of the engine stand heads and this thing spins super easy and it's very easy to roll around! Simple to put together. If I can do it, anybody can!
I built a similar setup back in the eighties from a pr. of old Lakewood engine stands. I extended the legs outward about a foot on each side. In use I decided that wasn't necessary. I also mounted the head in ball bearings. only because I had them.
I have done several frames on this, sandblast/paint.
I know you will get a lot of use from yours.
That's a nice looking job on the frame, what kind of car is going on it...it looks like a 30's something Ford? Did you build the frame?
Oh cool rotisserie to, if necessity was the Mother of invention, you must be the Father.
Bob, with the bearings you put in the one you built, that thing should last forever.
Built the frame from scratch. It's a '27 T roadster to be powered by a turbo'd 2.3 4-cyl backed by a T5.
The frame looks excellent, real good looking welds. What made you decide on a 2.3?
I did the same thing with two HF engine stands a few years back when I was working on my frame, Worked pretty good, it was just a little sketchy rolling it in and out of the shop by myself.
"Evintho", I always like seeing something different, it seems as though Hot Rods have been centered around the SBC and as much as I think the SBC is a great platform for anything custom, it's the something different, the courage to think outside the box that always intrigues me. The European manufacturer's have been building strong 4 Cylinder engines forever and I think it's great to see something in the way of a North American 4 Cylinder that can run with them.
The engine compartment of where the engine is in now looks great, clean and well managed. Please keep us informed as to how your build is going....and congratulations, as much as I appreciate the North American 8 Cylinder, I find something different refreshing.
Best of Luck on your build and if the frame is any indication of what your building is going to look like, I'm sure it's going to be fantastic.
I did a simliar set up too. But one one end, I used a driveshaft ujoint. That took care of any binding that can happen when turning it over. Also, on the front, instead of taking the brackets to the frame, you could have bolted it to your spring perch. When I build frames like this, I plan ahead and have a couple of strong ears to bolt on the rotisserie.

Submitted to: Meeting Abstract
Publication Type: Proceedings
Publication Acceptance Date: 3/15/2000
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Public attention has been focused on nutrient pollution of groundwater. As a result, feedlots have come under increased scrutiny. Research has shown that storage pond bottoms are well sealed, however, sidewall seepage has been a problem. This seepage comes from cracks formed during the wetting and drying cycles of filling and pumping. Root channels also help seepage. Objectives were to construct and evaluate a runoff control system that eliminated long-term storage. Amount of feedlot runoff and nutrient discharge were estimated with a computer model. A terrace was built to collect runoff, provide temporary liquid storage and accumulate solids, while distributing the liquid across a grass field. The grass field utilizes runoff water and nutrients to minimize pollution. Initial findings show large reductions in solids in the runoff released to the grassed field. Water volume held in the basin was greatly reduced compared to traditional storage systems. No runoff flowed from the grassed field during the 1999 season.
Technical Abstract: Research has shown nutrients from feedlot runoff can infiltrate beneath long-term storage ponds. Pond embankments' wetting and drying cycles and weed growth form channels that facilitate preferential flow paths. The project objectives were to construct and evaluate a simplified runoff control system that reduced or eliminated long-term storage. Runoff volumes, nutrient totals and peak discharge were estimated using the Nutrient Fate Model for Beef Cattle Feedlots. A dispersion field was sized based on these values. A flat-bottom terrace was constructed to collect runoff, provide temporary liquid storage and accumulate settable solids, while distributing the nutrient laden liquid fraction uniformly across this dispersion field. Preliminary findings indicate substantial total suspended solids (TSS), volatile suspended solids (VSS) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction as the water moved through the treatment system. The nitrogen to phosphorus ratio of the basin solids removed during the 1999 season was approximately 2.7:1. This would indicate the solids could make an excellent plant fertilizer. No dispersion field runoff water was recorded during the 1999 season, indicating that the basin discharge was effectively utilized for grass production. The volume of water remaining in the basin available for deep infiltration was greatly reduced when compared to traditional long-term runoff storage systems. This was evident as the simplified runoff system began to accumulate solids, thereby reducing the total liquid storage volume of the basin.

Instant: The Story of Polaroid
Christopher Bonanos
(Princeton Architectural Press)
US: Sep 2012
Excerpted with permission from Instant: The Story of Polaroid by Christopher Bonanos. Copyright © 2012 by Christopher Bonanos. Published in September 2012 by Princeton Architectural Press. All rights reserved. No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or printed without permission in writing from the publisher.
Chapter 1: Light and Vision
If you're reading this, you probably know what a Polaroid picture is. Even if you weren't, I probably wouldn't have to tell you. More than sixty years after instant photography made its debut, "Polaroid" remains one of the most recognizable coinages on Earth. As late as 2003, the hip-hop star Andre 3000 could sing "Shake it like a Polaroid picture," in Outkast's megahit "Hey Ya," and even young people did not have to ask what he meant. Throughout its reign over instant photography—a field the company invented out of thin air and built into a $2-billion-a-year business—Polaroid had no successful competitor, no real challenge to its primacy, until almost its very end.
In the 1970s, photographers were shooting a billion Polaroid photographs each year. Now the whole business has almost vanished. Right around the year 2000, picture-taking experienced a tidal change, as digital cameras swept in and all but cornered the market. Suddenly, photographic film became a specialty item, bought chiefly by artists. Any company that depended on selling or processing film had to endure some rough years of realignment. Eastman Kodak went from its late-1980s peak of 145,000 employees to fewer than 20,000, and filed for Chapter 11 protection in 2012. Polaroid, already struggling with longstanding debt and other problems, got clobbered. Between 2001 and 2009 the company declared bankruptcy twice and was sold three times; one of those buyers went to federal prison for fraud. Polaroid film was discontinued forever in 2008.
Except that it's not exactly gone. A few types of instant film are still manufactured by Fujifilm, for some older Polaroid cameras and current Fuji models. The last batches of Polaroid's own film have become highly sought after, with buyers paying $40 or $50, or even more, for a pack of ten expired and increasingly unreliable exposures. A few enthusiasts have taken their analog-revival efforts to great lengths, trying to reinvent instant film anew. The newest owners of the Polaroid trademark have elaborate plans to meld instant photography with the digital age.
After all, digital pictures are instant pictures. The chief advance of Polaroid photography was that you immediately saw what you had done. If the photo was overexposed, blurry, or badly framed, you could try shooting it again, then and there. With a digital camera, you get your feedback even faster, essentially for free.
Somehow, though, digital pictures do not draw people together the way Polaroid photos did. Haul one of those old cameras out at a party, and the questions start: "Hey—can you still get film for that thing?" "Are the cameras worth money?" And, once the photos start appearing, "You know, that looks pretty good! I don't remember Polaroids looking like that. But, you know, we had one when I was little, and… " This gee-whiz invention of the 1940s, ubiquitous in the 1970s, ostensibly obsolete today, still exerts a weird and bewitching pull.
It wasn't just for snapshots, either. During Polaroid photography's heyday, artists like Ansel Adams and Walker Evans sang its praises. Andy Warhol, David Hockney, and Robert Mapplethorpe all shot thousands of Polaroid pictures. Most of William Wegman's famous photos of his dogs were taken on Polaroid film. He and many other artists, including Chuck Close and Mary Ellen Mark, were (and are) particularly fond of an immense and very special Polaroid camera that produces prints 20 inches wide and 24 inches high. Fewer than a dozen of these cameras were hand-built by Polaroid; five remain active; and one, in New York, is in use almost every day. No digital equipment comes even remotely close to doing what it does.
Children, in particular, react very strongly to instant pictures, whether they're behind the camera or in front of it. Watching your own face slowly appear out of the green-gray mist of developing chemicals is a peculiar and captivating experience. The older Polaroid materials, those that develop in a little paper sandwich that is peeled apart after a few moments' development, encourage a different and warm human exchange. Photographer and subject can make small talk as the picture steeps. When the print is revealed, it can be handed over as a gift or circulated around the room. There is no more social form of picture-taking.
When it introduced instant photography in the late 1940s, Polaroid the corporation followed a path that has since become familiar in Silicon Valley: Tech-genius founder has a fantastic idea and finds like-minded colleagues to develop it; they pull a ridiculous number of all-nighters to do so, with as much passion for the problem-solving as for the product; venture capital and smart marketing follows; everyone gets rich, but not for the sake of getting rich. For a while, the possibilities seem limitless. Then, sometimes, the MBAs come in and mess things up, or the creators find themselves in over their heads as businesspeople, and the story ends with an unpleasant thud.
The most obvious parallel is to Apple Computer, except that Apple's story, so far, has a much happier ending. Both companies specialized in relentless, obsessive refinement of their technologies. Both were established close to great research universities to attract talent (Polaroid was in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where it drew from Harvard and MIT; Apple has Stanford and Berkeley nearby). Both fetishized superior, elegant, covetable product design. And both companies exploded in size and wealth under an in-house visionary-godhead-inventor-genius. At Apple, that man was Steve Jobs. At Polaroid, the genius domus was Edwin Herbert Land.
Just as Apple stories almost all lead back to Jobs, Polaroid lore always seems to focus on Land. In his time, he was as public a figure as Jobs was. At Kodak, executives habitually referred to Polaroid as "he," as in "What's he doing next?" Land and his company were, for more than four decades, indivisible. When he introduced its SX-70 system in 1972—that's the photo with the wide white border that most of us think of as the classic Polaroid picture—Land appeared on the covers of both Time and Life magazines.
At Polaroid's annual shareholders' meetings, Land often got up onstage, deploying every bit of his considerable magnetism, and put the company's next big thing through its paces, sometimes backed by a slideshow to fill in the details, other times with live music between segments. A generation later, Jobs did the same thing, in a black turtleneck and jeans. Both men were college dropouts; both became as rich as anyone could ever wish to be; and both insisted that their inventions would change the fundamental nature of human interaction.
Jobs, more than once, expressed his deep admiration for Edwin Land. In an interview in Playboy, he called him "a national treasure." After Land, late in his career, was semi-coaxed into retirement by Polaroid's board, Jobs called the decision "one of the dumbest things I've ever heard of." In fact, the two men met three times when Apple was on the rise, and according to Jobs's then-boss John Sculley, the two inventors described to each other a singular experience: Each had imagined a perfect new product, whole, already manufactured and sitting before him, and then spent years prodding executives, engineers, and factories to create it with as few compromises as possible.
During some stretches, Polaroid operated almost like a scientific think tank that happened to regularly pop out a profitable consumer product. Land was frequently criticized by Wall Street analysts, and the Wall Street Journal in particular, for spending a little too much on his R&D operation and too little on practical matters. That was Land's philosophy: Do some interesting science that is all your own, and if it is, in his words, "manifestly important and nearly impossible," it will be fulfilling, and maybe even a way to get rich. In his lifetime, Land received 535 United States patents. No wonder everyone called this college dropout "Dr. Land"—particularly after Harvard University gave him an honorary doctorate. He advised several presidents (from Eisenhower through Nixon) on technology, and effectively created the u-2 spy plane. Richard Nixon admired his scientific prowess, once asking an aide, "How do we get more Dr. Lands?"
After he quit his advisory post during the Watergate scandal, Land ended up on Nixon's "enemies list," and told a friend that he was honored to have made the cut.
He was extremely circumspect about his family life, but we know a little about his upbringing. He was born on May 7, 1909, the son of a scrap-metal dealer named Harry Land and his wife, who was called Matha, Matie, or Martha, depending on which source you read. As a child, Land had trouble pronouncing "Edwin," and it came out "Din," a nickname that stuck with him all his life.
Nearly every account of Land's youth conforms to the classic boy-inventor clichés. Did he once blow all the fuses in his parents' house? Of course, when he was 6 years old. Did he once disassemble a significant household object, resulting in either parental anger or parental pride? Certainly—either the family's brand-new gramophone or the mantel clock. Whatever it was, his father was not amused.
He was, it seems, introverted in person but superbly confident when it came to ideas. Accustomed as we are today to Silicon Valley style, this may imply that he was a big nerd, but that's not right. Land was neatly groomed and notably handsome, with a pleasing, New England–inflected baritone voice, and alongside his scientific passions lay knowledge of art, music, and literature. He was a cultured person, growing even more so as he got older, and his interests filtered into the ethos of Polaroid. His company took powerful pride in its relationship to fine artists, its sponsorship of public television, even its superior graphic design. He liked people who had breadth as well as depth—chemists who were also musicians, say, or photographers who understood physics. He took very good pictures, too.
As a young adult, Land grew close to Clarence Kennedy, an art-history professor at Smith College who was also a fine photographer. Their relationship not only helped refine Land's eye but also began to feed Polaroid with brainy, aesthetically inclined Smith graduates, handpicked and recommended by Kennedy. It was a clever end run around the competition for talent, because few corporations were hiring female scientists, and even fewer were looking for them in Smith's art-history department.
Sometimes he sent the young women off for a couple of semesters' worth of science classes, manufacturing skilled chemists who could keep up when the conversation turned from Maxwell's equations to Renoir's brush strokes. In-house, people called them the Princesses.
Land was also extraordinarily tenacious. One of his top research executives, Sheldon Buckler, recalls a story Land told him during a long night in the lab. As a child, Land had been forced to visit an aunt he disliked. As he sat in the backseat of his parents' car, he set his jaw and told himself, "I will never let anyone tell me what to do, ever again." You could write that off as youthful mulishness, except that it turned out to be true. Land's control over his company was nearly absolute, and he exercised it to a degree that was compelling and sometimes exhausting.
He didn't grow up in a particularly intellectual household. Land once remarked disdainfully that there were virtually no books in his childhood home. Somehow, though, he found himself a copy of the 1911 edition of Physical Optics, a textbook by the physicist Robert W. Wood, and obsessed over its contents the way other kids might have memorized baseball statistics—lingering on one particular chapter, about the polarization of light.

Batman and Madman
I am a huge Mike Allred fan, his art style is at once modern and retro. I knew that any cover with his most popular creation would have to be reflective of the innovation that he brings to his stories. This was one of the most fun times I have had making one of these.
These six pieces by Allred were originally intended to Community Chest cards be for a DC Universe themed Monopoly game. The game was never released, so this great art has never been seen by the public - until now, so enjoy:

Since I see that N is coming up is Nightman going to be among them? I thought that it would be a great team up when he was published.

I never really followed the character. Was he a Malibu character? I do remember some God-awful TV show called Nightman and I think that soured me to the idea of trying the comic.

These were the only ones I saw for sale when I purchased them on Ebay, but I bet some more exist out there. I'd love to see them too!

I think it was Malibu. I actually liked the TV show.

Also, I like how Batman turns in the last panel. It looks like he actually hears Madman.

I'd love to see Allred draw Captain Marvel!

FYI, that Monopoly game was released. I have it.

Cool! I'd love to see more scans of his work from it!
- May 24, 2010 at 5:21 PM
- Ross said...
A friend of mine showed me that cards from the Monopoly game and the images have all been re-drawn by another artist. So, while the game was indeed released, this art never was. I wonder why they did not use the far superior Allred art?

Hello all,
Joe D(aka Ferox) here from New Jersey,USA, glad to be here and looking forward to exploring the dhamma with you all. I'm a 33 year old lay disciple and I took the refuge and precepts near on five years ago on vesak 2008 although I'd suspect like most I've come to feel that I was a Buddhist my whole life and didn't realize it until I found Buddhism and in particular Theravada.
I work for child protective services in my state and recently started my own photography business. I don't have a real life sangha close to me( I visit NJ Buddhist Vihara in Princeton which is an hour from me, Bodhi Monastery which is about two hours, and Bhavana Society in West Virginia which is 5 hours) and I'm the only Buddhist I know in my daily life. I am a member of the virtual sangha of "The Buddha Center" on the virtual online world Second Life(as Ferox) and I do some work there.
my practice has increased and progressed over the years, I started meditating almost 10 years ago however I would say I never really put in the practice and started to "get anywhere" until the last year. I've started going to meditation retreats(3 day at Bodhi Monastery and 5 day at Bhavana Society) and through real life and virtual world contact with monastics and teachers I feel I am on the right path. for a few years now there has been a growing feeling inside of me towards entering the homeless life and as the years have gone by the pull only gets stronger, I feel at this point that it is inevitable I will enter into the homeless life and it's more a question as to when then if. That is one topic I hope to explore with all of you here, among many others.
once again, great to be here and I look forward to meeting everyone.

Romancing The Stone Faced: How Ceos Were Won OverSusan B. Garland
If politics is the art of illusion, Bill Clinton deserves an Oscar for Best Special Effects. Working with a cadre of business-oriented White House aides, the President has turned what was a trickle of business support during the campaign into a seeming tidal wave of corporate backing for his economic program.
With traditional Democratic interests safely in his camp, Clinton made business backing a priority and assigned top aides to the task--including Chief of Staff Thomas F. "Mack" McLarty III, National Economic Council Chairman Robert E. Rubin, political director Rahm Emanuel, and public liaison chief Alexis M. Herman. They targeted CEOs they already knew, Democratic business leaders, early Clinton business contributors, and a few token CEOs who might neutralize opposition to tax proposals. The goal: a star-studded rooting section to flank Clinton.
WISH LIST. Rubin, former co-chairman of Goldman, Sachs & Co., chatted up old Wall Street pals. Emanuel worked on the CEOs he had talked to as a campaign fund-raiser, including NationsBank Corp. Chief Hugh McColl Jr. and Sara Lee Corp.'s John H. Bryan. Soon after Inauguration Day, Herman laid on numerous meetings with business groups to find out what they wanted in an economic package. Says Herman: "The early reaching out was one of the critical components of success."
On Feb. 11, a week before the economic plan was unveiled, the President met with a handful of top CEOs. Among them: Tenneco's Michael H. Walsh, Prudential Insurance's Robert C. Winters, and Western Digital's Roger W. Johnson. After the Feb. 17 State of the Union speech, Herman phoned this group to gauge their reactions.
Soon thereafter, Ford Motor Co.'s Harold A. "Red" Poling and Time Warner Inc.'s Gerald M. Levin wrote Clinton praising his efforts, and Herman asked them to join Clinton at a Feb. 25 press conference in Washington. Levin took the red-eye back from California to make the event. Bryan, who supported Clinton during the campaign, returned two days early from a trip to Hong Kong. Others were in town for a Business Council meeting.
McLarty scored one of the biggest coups. As former CEO of natural gas giant Arkla Inc., he had served on the National Petroleum Council with Atlantic Richfield Co.'s Lodwrick M. Cook. A Bush supporter, Cook is a maverick who backed increased gasoline taxes to promote energy conservation. Following the State of the Union speech, McLarty called to ask if Cook would meet with Clinton when the President visited California. After a face-to-face chat, Cook signed on.
KEY MOVE. The CEOs at Clinton's press conference got nothing in return. But obviously, says an aide to one, "there are strings attached because you're standing there next to the President. My feeling was, this will be a photo op, and you will be a prop--but it's not a bad touch to make."
Clinton had made inroads with business during the campaign to gain credibility for his "New Democrat" economic plan. But, aides say, the real clincher came after the election, with Clinton's economic summit in Little Rock. There, before a throng of executives, he made a
bravura performance. Among the impressed: Anheuser-Busch Cos. Chairman August A. Busch III and American Airlines' Robert L. Crandall. The airline chief followed up with a six-page letter of suggestions. The President responded swiftly, backing the industry's call for a high-level commission to study ways to help restore its profitability.
His charm and grasp of economic minutiae have so impressed executives that one lobbyist quips: "My top priority is to keep my CEO back in headquarters so he doesn't meet the President." No wonder Clinton is convinced that, with enough work, he can turn potential foes into sometime friends.

Building Renovations Planned to Enhance Safety and Environment
December 05, 2012
Several schools will be undergoing renovations this coming summer, as security enhancements and interior updates are completed. The projects will affect Spring Hill Elementary School (SHES), the current Spring Hill Intermediate School (SHIS) building and Spring Hill Middle School (SHMS).
The projects will be paid for using the nearly $3 million of savings achieved to date on bond-related projects. The construction market, which has been very competitive, allowed the district to save significant amounts of funds on the Prairie Creek Elementary School expansion and also on Wolf Creek Elementary School. In addition, the favorable weather has minimized extra costs typically associated with scheduling challenges caused by inclement weather.
Safety of students and staff members is an extremely high priority, and one that will be addressed at SHES, SHIS and SHMS this summer. At all three buildings, front entryways will be reconfigured to allow for more secure access points. The foyer areas will require visitors to go through the offices prior to entering student areas. Also, key card access systems, cameras and some new doors will be installed to further secure the buildings.
In addition, interior updates will be made at Spring Hill Elementary and the current Intermediate School buildings, as the schools prepare for the transition to SHES serving preschool-grade five and SHIS being repurposed to serve sixth grade students and house district staff. While plans are still being finalized and estimates developed, some of the interior enhancements will include new paint treatments, carpet, tile, lighting in some areas, and restroom makeovers. The updates will ensure that all of the district's elementary schools have similar learning environments. At SHIS, which will soon be called Spring Hill Middle School North, some of the same enhancements will be made as well as the reconfiguration of the office areas.
Due to the renovations and other scheduled maintenance projects, like parking lot repairs, all three of the affected schools will be closed throughout the summer months. Updates regarding building access will be shared in the late spring, as construction schedules are finalized.

Justin Bieber Sends Message to Fans After Robbery Allegations
Two days after being accused of attempted robbery, Justin Bieber took to Twitter to comment on the situation.
On Wednesday (May 14), the "Beauty and a Beat" crooner told his followers, "It is hard to defend myself and my privacy every moment of the day. Then to see rumors. The truth will set u free."
"My mom raised me to be kind to others," he continued. "I get judged, harassed, and I try to take the high road. Sometimes it isn't easy. But we keep trying. I will continue to be the man my mother raised."
"I love people and I will try to be kind even when things are not fair. Don't believe rumors. Thanks for those who stick by me and those that help me grow everyday. I love you. Off to have fun and smile with friends. I'm human. I feel. I hurt. But I got thick skin too. I can handle it. I love you."
The LAPD is investigating reports that Bieber grabbed a woman's phone out of her purse at Sherman Oaks Castle Park after he though she was taking cell phone pictures of him.

They never stop. The New York Times has the audacity to make a claim that "The National Rifle Association keeps coming up with clever new ways to undermine public safety." The victim disarmament crowd is hell bent on doing what it can to sacrifice the American citizen on the alter of their twisted ideology regardless of its continual failure.

Is Kanye West hitting the 'SNL' stage?
Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio
Page Six thinks they've gotten the jump on the official NBC announcement that Kanye West will grace the "Saturday Night Live" Stage as a musical guest on May 18.
West has been hanging out in Paris ever since fashion week in February, but sources tell the gossip site that the rapper may be heading back stateside for the performance. An NBC rep says the show hasn't confirmed its lineup past Zach Galifianakis, who is locked in for a May 4 date.
We'll hang tight for that announcement. (Or not.)
And in other Kanye news … Perez Hilton is reporting that in the last 111 days, Kim Kardashian and Kanye have only spent 26 days together, making it 85 days apart. Odd, considering that Kim is very preggers with his kid. For his part, Kanye is working on his next album in the City of Lights. Sounds like Perez (and Radar Online) are suggesting there's trouble in paradise … Hmmm.
