    In the Court of the Crimson King

    Barry Godber (1945–1970), a computer programmer friend of Sinfield's, painted the design for the album cover. He used his own face, viewed through a mirror, as the model. Godber died in February 1970 from a heart attack, shortly after the album's release. He was 24 years old. It was his only painting; the original painting is now owned by Robert Fripp.

    Brain Salad Surgery

    Since cover art for the impending album was required, Manticore manager Peter Zumsteg introduced Emerson to a popular artist, Hans Ruedi Giger, who was living in Zurich. In April 1973, as a part of their European tour, the group played a two-day concert there. After the concert, Emerson with Zumsteg visited the artist at his home.

  3. Notable Corsair Pilots:

    A legendary Marine aviator who flew Corsairs in the South Pacific, credited with 22 air victories in the F4U, according to Wikipedia. He earned the nickname "Pappy" due to his age compared to his younger squadron mates.

  4. The iconic Album Cover Art.
    It drew you to the album almost before you realized you wanted to buy it. :wub:
    While your record plays you indulge yourself in the album cover artwork as well as the expansive inside artwork.
    You may already like the artist or band; however, backed by eye appealing artwork you find yourself lost in the music. :)

  5. As we approach Memorial Day with this coming weekend, the issue of how to address the occasion has been approached on another Board.
    The obvious negative greeting is "Happy Memorial Day", or "Have a Happy Memorial Day weekend", as these come across as a blatant disrespect :angry: for what the Day actually represents.
    IYHO, which expression do you use, or would find appropriate? :FlagAm:

    For the mathematically inclined:

     

    "How PAs perform depends on wave energy resources, design, and hydraulic system efficiency. The power output can be calculated with:

    P = 0.5 × ρ × A × C × Hs× Cg

    Where

    P is the power output in kW

    ρ is the density of seawater given by 1025 kg/m3

    A is the area of the buoy (floating structure) in m3

    C is the capture width ratio

    Hs is the significant wave height in m

  7. Using the movie premise:

    You are transported back to 1881 with your current SASS firearms.
    Would you be comfortable with them and if not what change(s) would you make?

    "As has been stated by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the Great Lakes contain an offshore wind energy potential of over 500 GW and an additional 50 to 75 GW from wave energy totaling to approximately 575 GW. What this number means is that the Great Lakes has to potential to power hundreds of millions of homes which far exceeds what the United States requires."

    Off the coast of São Paulo, Brazil, lies Ilha da Queimada Grande - known as Snake Island.

    This deadly paradise holds a terrifying secret: it's home to thousands of golden lancehead vipers, one of the most venomous snakes on Earth. Their venom is so potent it can melt human flesh, and there are up to five snakes per square meter. The Brazilian government has banned all public access, allowing only select scientists with special permits.

    The last lighthouse keeper and his family died tragically when snakes slithered through their windows... Now, the island stands as a forbidden zone, where evolution created perfect killers.
