ELVIS: ® That's ®ight™ @ WAL-MA®T (ELVINATO®)

™he Elivinato® P®ojec™ HI, I would like to introduce you to a project that I have started since the first of the year. It all happened when I saw the WowWee's Elvis Alive bust. I have been working on an animated head on and off until I seen this. This was just what I was looking for, a head that moves, turns, eyes that move and a mouth that moves. The Elvis had all of it, so I started to think what am I going to do with it? I started talking about the head on www.RoboCommunity.com and got a lot of ideas but the one that I liked the most was to turn the Elvis into the Terminator. So the name The Elvinator was born. This project is a very hard robot to build and to make the necessary mods including making your own main brain board, constructing the Terminator eye with a glowing red LED, building the jaw piston, re-skinning the face to look like it has been burnt off and of course programming it to move, recognize voice and learn as it interacts with people. As you can see where I am in the project just look at my Avatar photo, yes that is the Elvinator. So I would like to show you whats inside him and how to modify the Elvis and turn him into the Elvinator. This project is not finished yet but I will be adding more steps along the way. I not sure how many steps but I know there are a bunch. I am using a Basic Stamp 2 from Parallax right now for testing purposes then I'll make a board that is controlled by a PC once I get to that point. This is the first step in transforming Elvis to "The Elvinator," an ongoing project. This first article is about opening your Elvis to reveal some of its electronics. The next article will be about removing the skin and so forth. step 1 Capturing the magic of this monumental performer is a lifelike singing and talking bust of the best selling solo artist in U.S. history. Motion captured facial animations and a leather jacket styled from the Elvis Presley 68 Comeback Special complete the most authentic recreation ever of this legendary artist. Whether youre his greatest fan or new to the man and his music, you can listen to, sing along with and learn more about the life of the man known as The King of Rock and Roll. step 2 Modes: -Alive (TCB™) mode Elvis animates autonomously, tracks movement and makes the occasional famous Elvis remark. -Song mode Select a song and let Elvis entertain you. -Monologue mode Hear about the life and times of Elvis, in his own words. -Sing through (Share the spotlight) mode Plug in a microphone (not included) and song cartridge to sing along with Elvis, or turn his vocals down and sing along with the track. step 3 Microphone shaped remote control: - access functions: volume, play/pause, song and monologue selector - select a mode External music playback: - Plug in an external music source and enjoy the music with Elvis step 4 Song and Monologue Cartridge #1: Elvis comes alive, recounting 37 monologues about his life and singing eight of his best loved songs, including: That's All Right™ Hound Dog Heartbreak Hotel Love Me Tender Jailhouse Rock Blue Suede Shoes Trouble Baby What You Want Me To Do step 5 Technical specifications: Dimensions: 20.25H X 21.75L X 13.75D Infrared vision sensors 10-watt stereo system Audio line in Mic line in (1/4 jack point microphone not included) Memory card slot Power source: 2A AC/DC adapter included Or 8 D and 3 AAA batteries (not included) step 6 step 7 step 8 step 9 step 10 step 11 step 12 step 13 step 14 step 15 step 16 step 17 step 18 step 19 step 20 step 47 step 48 step 56 step 59 step 60 step 64 Hot Pour Vinyl Next is the hot pour vinyl, you need to be out side or in the garage with the door open and fresh air coming in. When heat the hot pour vinyl it gives off a very bad smell so don't do this in the house!! Mix up the hot pour vinyl and pour it in a small dish that you can throw away. Very slowly heat it up to 375 deg F or unit it becomes clear, now let it heat up till its just a light brown and cut the heat fast. Be sure you do NOT get this on your skin it will burn you fast. Use a throwaway brush and apply it all over the burnt part of the skin even on the jaw piston if you want because it will pull away after the piston moves. Let this dry 1 day and after that apply a small amount of baby powder on the face to get rid of the shine and stickiness of the vinyl. Congrats you'r done with the effects of the Elvinator effect. Next is making the face move and I'll add this later for you as we continue this long instructiable. I really hope you all are enjoying it as much as I am. And please leave a comment to let me know what you think. GWJax image not found 500x375 : FL0G31GFINOAO2A (0)

Just because I like season 37 in HD and that they are not putting in a video wall, does NOT mean that FremantleMedia (especially Syd Vinnedge) will get away with Roger's firing.

I would have bid $11000 for this showcase. I love Holy's reaction to Roger's masters thesis.

I think I may have watched a total of 3 episodes this season, mainly due to my schedule, but I wasn't impressed with the changes. I would hate to see more changes next year. I hope the video wall doesn't replace the clock game prop. (isn't that the oldest prop still in use?)

Yeah, but that version had a video wall in place of the turntable. Now rumour has it they want to scrap it for good and bring in a video wall.  I'm not sure if you care or not, but in my opinion, they should find a different host other than Drew Carey.

It has already been confirmed that a video wall will be in season 37. However, its not known in what capacity it will be used.

Price will not survive another host change. Period. Drew's doing just fine, and the death of the show won't come because of him.

The video wall was scrapped. CBS and Fingers (who was already a production assistant on this very specific episode that aired here) agreed it was too expensive to install one.

Not only that but it makes it time and space consuming to play the pricing games or show small prizes on the IUFB. You'd be surprised how much TPIR use the turntable and it's stage.

The one advantage having the videowall would provide is that they can transfer the trip skins into digital form via Videowall, but that can be done with a moveable videowall that can be used to replace Door 3 on showcases.

Parlez-Moi Episode: episode 40 of "Parlez-Moi"

The Newlywed Game kinescope 1966

This 6½ minute clip of "The Newlywed Game" from 1966 was found on another website which, unfortunately, no longer exists. Bob Eubanks is the host but almost everything else in the clip is different. Also, this episode survives on a black-and-white kinescope instead of videotape. Color VT came later. And finally, as far as I know, this episode may be in the public domain.

Doreen Virtue Pt.1

Doreen Virtue appeared discusses the Crystal Children, a type of child born since 1995 that has unusual attributes such as very large eyes, telepathy, and fearlessness. Virtue had previously studied the Indigo phenomenon (children born starting around 1975) who also showed remarkable behaviors. Calling them "warrior spirits," she said Indigos could be reincarnated Pleiadeans and Atlanteans who have psychic powers but often feel they are misunderstood.

Some of the Indigos have more energy than they know what to do with, leading to an ADD diagnosis, Virtue said. She likes to think of ADD as "Attention Dialed into a Different Dimension" rather than Attention Deficit Disorder. Instead of being treated with Ritalin, she advocated use of multivitamins and avoiding food dyes and sugar products.

Now a generation later, Virtue said that some of the Indigo kids are in their 20's and are giving birth to Crystal Children. Some of these children have been called autistic, but she thinks this could be a misinterpretation because many of the Crystals don't feel the need to talk because they can communicate without words. Through surveys she conducted, Virtue found that Crystal children apparently need less sleep, have a great love for animals, and seem to be able to communicate with unseen entities and angels. She suggested that they may be reincarnated Lemurians who are arriving en masse to raise the bar on human behavior and create a more peaceable world.

ROCK DREAMS-- ALIVE, Guy Peellaert-- DEAD! (R.I.P.)

Em 1973, Guy Peellaert, e o jornalista inglês Nick Cohn, publicaram um livro com ilustrações de figuras da música popular e chamaram-lhe Rock Dreams. O livro, segundo um artigo na revista Crawdaddy de Julho de 1974, é uma recolha de centena e meia de quadros originais, organizados como montagens fotográficas, com tratamento a aerógrafo, publicados de modo avulso em publicações alemãs e que foram recolhidas em livro pela editora francesa Albin Michel, em 1973. A edição inglesa foi noticiada nos primeiros meses de 1974. A imagem supra, do original de 1973 ( versão inglesa ou americana, provavelmente), foi retirada daqui. Quase todas as imagens do livro, foram realizadas a areógrafo. Algumas delas, foram sendo republicadas nas revistas de música, como a Rock & Folk, francesa, que em Outubro de 1982, por ocasião da reedição do volume ( pela mesma editora Albin Michel) , esgotado há muito, dedicou oito páginas ao assunto, o que aliás já tinha feito com a edição original, no número de Novembro de 1973, a que até dedicou a capa. Aqui ficam algumas imagens desse livro, tiradas da revista Rock & Folk de 1982: As imagens de Peellaert que ilustrou ainda capas de discos ( David Bowie e o LP Diamond Dogs, de 1975, além do apontado dos Stones), levaram a que o livro esgotasse, tendo sido novamente reeditado, em 2003, por ocasião da efeméride dos trinta anos, pelas edições Taschen. As duas imagens seguintes, retratando alguns ícones do rock, incluindo o grupo Crosby Stills Nash & Young, ficam melhor aqui ( ou na revista de onde foram tiradas) do que no livro de Peellaert. A razão, tem a ver com a dimensão. No livro, a dimensão maior, retiram-lhe paradoxalmente, o efeito do pormenor e de enquadramento num fundo negro que é onde assentam bem. As seguintes, de Jerry Lee Lewis e dos Stones, são avulsas e da mesma proveniência: Pravda La Surviveuse Rock Dreams The iconic book Rock Dreams, created by the Belgian artist Guy Peellaert with the British rock writer Nik Cohn, had a huge impact when it was first published in 1972, and went on to sell more than one million copies worldwide. Issued under various titles, it told the story of popular music, from the crooners of the Forties to the glam days of the early Seventies. In a series of 125 striking tableaux, Peellaert displayed an amazing gift for recreating the likenesses of his heroes while putting them in situations echoing their mythical status or playing on their most famous lyrics. Frank Sinatra was pictured as a newspaper cutting, the "Frankie Goes Hollywood" headline later inspiring Holly Johnson and his Eighties group, Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Eddie Cochran, Tom Jones and Cliff Richard were drawn as guests at Elvis Presley's last supper, feasting on burgers and drinking Coca-Cola. The Beatles were depicted in a series of images, from being chased by a bobby in the streets of Liverpool to having tea with the Queen. For Peellaert, though, the Rolling Stones were the most louche band of all. He painted them holding court at the Ad Lib club; he recreated the food fight at the launch of their Beggars Banquet album; he portrayed them in Gestapo uniforms surrounded by pre-pubescent girls; and he anticipated Keith Richards's cameo in the film Pirates of the Caribbean – At World's End by 35 years when he depicted the guitarist and Mick Jagger as buccaneers dancing on a coffin. "Whose coffin is that?" the Stones singer had asked Peellaert pointedly when they met in Germany in 1973. "I replied: 'I don't know, Mick'," recalled Peellaert. "He knew very well it was supposed to be Brian Jones." Jagger suggested that the artist create the group's next album cover, following in the footsteps of Andy Warhol and David Bailey. Peellaert got on famously with Jagger, even after the artist broke his promise of exclusivity and designed the cover of David Bowie's Diamond Dogs, which came out in June 1974, four months before the Stones' It's Only Rock'n'Roll was released. Peellaert's depiction of Bowie as a grotesque creature, half-Ziggy, half-dog, with balls on the back of the gatefold sleeve – quickly airbrushed after the first batch went out – is arguably the singer's most striking cover. In 2000 EMI commissioned Peellaert to design the packaging for the Bowie at the Beeb collection. Peellaert was a painter, illustrator, graphic artist and photographer, and happily played with all of these roles to create Pop Art with a dark side. He added computer technology to his palette for the book Twentieth Century Dreams (1999), on which he collaborated with Cohn again. For this project, the pair drew on the iconography of a whole century and engineered unlikely meetings between Cassius Clay and Jackie Kennedy or De Gaulle and Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca. "I seem to be someone who has eaten up a lot of images and who is spitting them back as best he can," said Peellaert in 2001. "I don't even mind if you call it kitsch. The juxtaposition of characters is not gratuitous and their meetings aren't as incongruous as they might seem at first glance." Peellaert was born in Brussels in 1934. An indifferent pupil while at school, he nevertheless managed to secure a place to study fine arts in the Belgian capital and found refuge in the music of George Gershwin, Duke Ellington and Nat King Cole. He also devoured film noir, pulp literature, pop culture and Pop Art. Indeed, he seemed in thrall to that movement when he created the psychedelic cartoon characters "Jodelle" – a dead ringer for the French yéyé artist Sylvie Vartan (1966) – and "Pravda, La Survireuse", a brunette modelled on the chanteuse Françoise Hardy (1968). In the mid Sixties, Peellaert moved to Paris, where he worked variously in advertising, set design (for the Crazy Horse saloon and the Casino de Paris), television and film. He also contributed to the satirical magazine Hara-Kiri. Peellaert first met Cohn after moving to Germany to work in animation. He was trying to make a TV series loosely based on Cohn's book Awopbopaloobop Alopbamboom, a history of rock published in 1969. "The first episode would have been about a singer in Nashville, a kind of tragic hero. Johnny Cash was interested but the producer insisted on the German star Udo Jurgens," he recalled. "We decided to turn our stories into a book." Out of the débâcle, the pair hatched the idea for Rock Dreams. "Nik was the music specialist and I was the dreamer, the fan. It was quite a nice marriage," said the illustrator, who slaved away for three years while Cohn reportedly only spent a fortnight on the copy. "We made a list of people we wanted to talk about. We wanted to make the book believable and straight drawing wasn't enough. We had to get this lived-in quality into the images, what people now call photo-realism." Peellaert hoarded and archived magazines, books and pop memorabilia, the ground floor of his Paris atelier reminiscent of Peter Blake's workshop in London. He was also a big film buff, named his son after Orson Welles, and made posters for Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver, Robert Altman's Short Cuts and the Wim Wenders films Paris, Texas and Wings of Desire. He exhibited internationally and his work was often compared to the twilight world of Edward Hopper. "I like city rats, in the noble sense of the word, the sex-appeal of neon lights and Formica," he said about The Big Room (1986), his second coffee-table book, which took him 10 years to complete and attempted to encapsulate the surreal beauty of Las Vegas with pictures of Joe DiMaggio, Liberace and Marilyn Monroe. Elle magazine may have exaggerated when it called him "the Michelangelo of Pop" in 1974, but Peellaert was hugely influential and collectable and remained in great demand. "I'm not bothered about death," Peellaert told Beaux Arts Magazine in 2003. "Not having any passion while you're alive, that's the terrible thing. That's why Rock Dreams still works today. Emotions keep you alive. Rock will always represent the extravagant, the flashy, the fantasy. These pictures are a memento to that dream."
