Count Basie and Neil Heft's then modern take on 'big band' swing came out in 1959, the same year as the first intercontinental ballistic missile. The album's cover artwork of an atom bomb detonation (see below), played with the then modern zeitgeist, even if the record's music remained a polished and refined mix of unsplit musical atoms.
The effort of leaders, thinkers and populations to change these nuclear age missile attackers of mother-nature herself from the category of 'weapons' into the concept of 'deterrent' was considerable. Alongside the saving of the whale, the recalibration that formed via SALT agreements and post Soviet nuclear accords, and the march of the common sense of man, remain a witness of how mankind can redress and be wise - even when societies remain quite different. Tinkering with this calibration and returning nuclear 'deterrents' back into nuclear 'weapons', be it via mean-spirited 'play' or actual 'action', would respect neither man, his past or 'nature' and her complex moods. Tinkering would require a support structure of collective narcissistic madness and a token fool.

Press play and then 'L' and even f11. Escape and f11 a second time to return.
Sorry for the typo at the beginning, but you can't replace video on Flickr so it will have to stay. "Slanky" should read "Splanky", and thanks Art who also commented "I’m thinking it’s Frank Foster on tenor? Eddie Lockjaw Davis did other tenor solos on the album" :-)

Schylling tinplate wind-up Atomic Robot Man joins in the Monster MAYhem fun!
Uhmmm... yes, for the purposes of mayhem, robots count as monsters. As long as they are scary robots. Which is pretty much all robots.
Did'ja ever read the novel, "Before Tomorrowland," by Jeff Jensen and Brad Bird (and several other co-authors)? That's okay, nobody else has, either, other than myself and Syd. Anyway, I pictured the robot (oh, sorry, spoiler alert, there's a robot in the story) as looking more or less like this one.
I adore these goodies from my trade with the lovely Atomic Kitteh at BlytheCon who suggested the idea. And I love it! It really makes the interaction and transaction to be more about the love of the hobby and friendship rather than money. Thank you!
Well, here it is. My second and final entry into the 100th Lugnut's challenge
I picked No. 98 and my assignment was to build any bubble top car.
I was originally going to build The Homer but settled for something a little more exciting and more my speed.
And once again I had tons of fun building and photographing this beauty.
The majority of the building got finished in the last few days and as one usually does there best work when under pressure I'm pretty satisfied with the result.
There are a few areas that I would have liked to spend more time tackling but hey, you need to stop at some point.
Thanks once again Lugnuts for another super fun challenge!
Let me know what you think.

The AWRE (Atomic Weapons Research Establishment) at Aldermaston ran it's own fleet of non-psv buses including 12 Bedford YRQ / Willowbrook 001 B42D buses registered MBL941-5L and OJB327-33R. Wearing a livery not dissimilar to that used by the AERE at Harwell, OJB327R is seen next to the Altonian yard in Alton in February 1987. Also in shot is one of their Bedford YRQ / Marshall B42D batch registered HGM613-6N and one of their Bedford VAS / Wadham Stringer buses registered WDP991/2T.

Atomic City was called "Midway" until 1950, as it is halfway between the towns of Blackfoot and Arco. The town had a larger population when the neighboring Idaho National Laboratory site was newer, known as the "National Reactor Testing Station" until 1975.

At 8:15am on 6th August 1945, the first atomic bomb in human history was dropped on Hiroshima. Although, the Atomic Bomb Dome was located almost directly underneath the explosion, it somehow avoided complete destruction and the remains of the building still stand today.

The mushroom cloud from an atomic bomb gets bigger at Frenchman's Flats, Nevada in 1953. It would be interesting to see if there are a lot of two headed snakes, lizards, and rabbits out there from the testing radiation, but I wouldn't want to be the one to do the looking.
Playing around with motion graphics and math again.

This is a modification of an older project I did 2-3 years ago -- a Halloween version of the Big Bang Theory-style atomic cut scene. This one is a lot smoother and a lot less jumpy than the other version.
This was a rainy day experiment for me. The weather outside was really cold and rainy on Saturday, so I worked on this for most of the day.

this is part of a bunker in the midst of Berlin, Germany, close to Uhlandstr. . It was built in the 1970s in the time of Cold War and was meant to be inhabitated by about 3000 people for around two weeks. It was one of a handfull of survival bunkers in case of an atomic war.. all bunkers in Berlin altogether would have offered shelter for a maximum of 1 % of the population only. The bunker which is located beneath an underground parking lot was merely a symbol, a prospect of survival, while clearly noone would have survived a direct hit with a nuclear weapon.. it might have given protection against the fallout for a little time.. then people would have had to go back to a still quite radioactive and deadly surface...
Memorial Day weekend garage sale find. Two for one dollar. Look brand new.
Now I just need to find at least 2 more...
Puente de Lusitania de Mérida (Badajoz). Estructura: Puente arco, estructura del tablero suspendida. Localización: Sobre el río Guadiana en Mérida, Extremadura (España). Construido: 1988-1991. Diseñador(es): Santiago Calatrava. Materiales: acero, hormigón pretensado. Dimensiones: Luz principal 189 m. Longitud total 465 m. Profundidad del arco 32 m. El deterioro al que el tráfico rodado sometía al Puente Romano llevó a sustituirlo por un nuevo puente. El proyecto de Calatrava dialoga con el puente romano con una figura de contraste, donde el gran arco único resalta sobre el cielo su perfil arquetípico y monumental. El reto que representaba la estructura romana, de 2000 años de antigüedad, es asumido mediante la repetición rítmica de elementos portantes. La superposición visual de ambos es impresionante, actuando el Puente Romano como basamento, masivo y rítmico, dominado por el gran arco propuesto por Calatrava. Los peatones cruzan el puente por medio de una larga pasarela de 500 m, situada a una altura de un metro y medio sobre la circulación rodada. Mérida (Badajoz) 15/11/2009
The theme of my project 52 this week is intersecting... and Saturday morning pancakes gave me an idea... not necessarily a good idea - just an idea.
In the last days i was focused on photos but i need for a new mosaic to let my photostream be a bit less repetitive
This is a project i've thought a lot and dedicated to BLONDIE one of my favorite band.
They have well combined rock and glam, fashion and music. Debby Harry is a pure talented beauty.
If you missed some of their masterpiece here is a little selection:
The AWE (Atomic Weapons Establishment) at Aldermaston ran it's own fleet of non-psv buses including a pair of Bedford YMT / Wadham Stringer Vanguard B45D buses registered C301/2RRX. Seen in the industrial estate used by Altonian Coaches of Alton in March 1987 is C302RRX.
Note the 1960 Fordson tractor 854AAA parked behind.
