In the late '80s the USA venues were generally able to offer more scope for a lighting system than UK and European venues could offer, and we felt that everyone should be able to see the same quality of show - so I designed a ground-support system with a moving lighting rig which could be taken into every venue we'd be playing at. Not only would this be cheaper in the long run than hiring, but it also meant that everywhere we went, the fans could see the same show. We'd previously hired all the lighting equipment, but with a 10-12 month tour coming up it was obvious that it would be easier to design and build a set that we could take with us on the road. Get Ready To Roll!: Tell us about your design for the "Piece Of Mind" set etc.ĭave: By the time IRON MAIDEN were promoting the "Piece Of Mind" album, the tours were running into months rather than weeks. As to whether I see him as family, yes, in a way I suppose I do! The Eddie that was used as the band became more famous was designed from artwork by Derek Riggs, but the original idea started with that joke, and that first mask. So, on the backdrop that we used for the pub gigs, with the help of a friend from art college I rigged up a mask that was made from a mould of my own face which coughed up blood in time to those lyrics. On his fourteenth birthday they said to him, " Eddie, we have a very special present for you," and Eddie replied, "Not another fuckin hat!" So yes, the idea for Eddie grew out of that joke! In the song "Iron Maiden", the lyric goes, "See the blood begin to flow," etc. When the head's grown to its full size, which will be when the boy is about 14 years old, we'll fix him up with a body." So the couple put Eddie on the mantle-piece and looked after him for the next fourteen years. The couple were devastated but the doctor said, "Don't give up hope. a couple had a child, but when the child was born it was only a head - no arms, legs or anything else. Get Ready To Roll!: What creative juices led to the concept of Eddie, and how much input did you have into the way he developed? And have you come to look on Eddie as one of your family?ĭave: Eddie The 'Ed was a joke that was going around at the time, i.e. This new band was IRON MAIDEN! As time went on I got more involved with them, and when they started getting gigs I offered to set up a lighting rig for them, as I was doing an interior design course and lighting was something I was very interested in. ![]() I'd left home at 15 and was living in a vicarage, and Lorraine asked me if her new boyfriend "Bomber" Harris could come round and rehearse with his new band at the vicarage. The next time we met up, he was with his girlfriend Lorraine, who was a friend of my first wife Kim. There was a "Battle Of The Bands" competition in our local church hall, and his band was called GYPSY'S KISS (so called 'cos Gypsy's Kiss is cockney rhyming slang for "piss"). What part did you play in their early years?ĭave: I promoted Steve Harris's first gig back in about 1974/75. ![]() ![]() Get Ready To Roll!: Dave, you were there right back in the early days of IRON MAIDEN. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow: Get Ready To Roll! recently conducted an interview is with lighting legend Dave "Lights" Beazley - most notably recognized as the creator of the original Eddie mask for IRON MAIDEN.ĭave is currently on the road with UFO in Russia and Europe, which is where he spoke to the site about the early days of IRON MAIDEN, from when the band used to come round to his place and rehearse - leading on to his part in designing the stage sets that were such a distinctive part of the IRON MAIDEN shows. ![]()

We have been using the following technique for many years and have found it to be the most natural and safe way to hibernate your tortoise. ![]() Remember that dehydration kills tortoises in hibernation, not starvation as many people think. It will also cause dehydration which can lead to kidney failure. This will take it in and out of sleep and will unnecessarily burn off calories and lose bodyweight. Also, by keeping your tortoise in straw, hay or paper the air circulating around your tortoise will fluctuate its body temperature. This is due to our winters being long and generally mild which can fluctuate daily. I have found in the past when hibernating tortoises the old fashion way in a box with straw, hay or newspaper, they frequently wake during the winter months and tend to be in poor condition when they wake up in spring. This will keep the tortoise’s metabolism stable and prevent it from burning off calories and losing body weight during hibernation. The main issue of safe hibernation is to be able to maintain the tortoise’s body temperature between 3 & 7 degrees C and not to allow it to fluctuate. After two weeks of not feeding the tortoise should have emptied its stomach contents and will be ready for hibernation. Again by using a heated vivarium you can extend there summer to the end of October by maintaining a constant temperature.Īt the end of October, you can start to reduce the night and day temperatures slowly over a couple of weeks until the tortoise shows no signs of feeding due to its body temperature being to cool.Ĭontinue reducing the temperature and start counting the days from when they last fed. In the autumn as early as the first week in September night temperatures start to become cold and many tortoises stop eating, this is far too early for tortoises to start their hibernation. In a vivarium, tortoises can be kept in a stable environment which will stimulate its appetite and help it recover safely from its hibernation. The main reason to use a heated vivarium is that in spring when tortoises wake up the outside temperatures are not stable enough. Remember that our summer months are much shorter than southern Europe where they naturally live and to help extend the summer and reduce the time spent in hibernation it’s always best to use a vivarium. It is very important to weigh your tortoise using Komodo Reptile Scales and work out the weight to size ratio (refer to Jackson’s ratio graph). Older tortoises can be hibernated safely providing they are of good weight, are generally healthy, and have shown no signs of respiratory problems. Its recommended to keep hatchlings up to three years old (or up to 100mm plastron length) awake during winter in a heated vivarium. PREPARING FOR HIBERNATIONĪlthough tortoises would normally hibernate in the wild from their first year as hatchlings it is not recommended for beginners to do so at such a delicate age. Over many years using different methods of hibernation we have developed a relatively safe hibernation technique which if followed correctly should take most of the worry out of hibernation. The most traumatic time for a tortoise owner is at the end of the summer when nights draw in, temperatures start to drop and the first thoughts of hibernation come to mind. ![]() ![]() ![]() If your accent wall is narrow, you could go for a dark olive green or any deep color. If you have a small bathroom, then it's best to keep your choices for both colors and styles extremely simple. ![]() This will make it easier to design the rest of the bathroom around that one main color. This means that you should pick one dominant color (the 60%), a secondary color to add flair and depth (the 30%), and finally accent (the 10%). The best way to go about picking an accent wall color is by using the 60-30-10 ratio. One of the biggest challenges in bathroom design is when people have to choose a color for the accent wall. One creative idea is painting both the ceiling as well as any moldings white so that the dark hue can stand out against this backdrop of lightness-or vice versa if you want darker shades to dominate your spa-like space. These colors will make you feel warm and cozy without feeling washed out or plain boring.īright colors, however, are much more eye-catching and tend to be popular for bathroom design trends. These colors have lots of warm, light beiges and browns as well as darker greens, reds, and browns. If you're trying to decide which bathroom color scheme will look best in a dark or windowless bathroom, another great way is to use an earth-tone color. If you plan to paint your doors bold colors that don't match with any of the room's other accents, make sure they fit in by matching it up with one of their accent colors. Paint your door and its trim the same color as the walls to give them a sleeker, seamless look. White, pale yellow or even gray will do the trick.īathrooms need lots of light, so when you choose a color for this small space, I recommend trying to make sure your bathroom walls are at least three shades brighter than the door or flooring. The best bathroom paint colors for rooms without natural light are those that reflect as much light and stay bright. What is the best paint color for a windowless bathroom?ĭo you have a small bathroom with no windows?

They must be creative and “indie” (or even user generated), but at a AAA standard of an established gaming studio, with cross-platform compatibility for both the newest and the oldest platforms in the market, on both fast and less-fast internet connections (or even no connection!). Today the demands on gaming companies are enormous. Where gamers were previously beholden to large gaming production studios for content, that balance of power has shifted – gamers want the best of all worlds and developers must deliver. We think we are at the precipice of what is possibly the biggest wave of creative destruction the gaming space has seen yet.Īs the world of gaming has evolved over the past few decades so has the bar for quality been moving ever higher. Convention once again gets put into the recycling bin, steamrolled by unrelenting waves of creativity – no one is safe, not even the industry giants.

The tragedy inspired PPM staff to highlight this incredible sport. After seeing the team practice throughout the year, PPM staff personally felt the loss of Artemis teammate Andrew “Bart” Simpson. The museum houses most of their collection in a hangar across the road from Artemis, the Swedish contenders’ headquarters. With the America’s Cup being held in the San Francisco Bay and teams based right here in Alameda, the show took on a personal meaning when tragedy struck. The show offers historical, aesthetic, and informative narrative with input from noted solo sailor Bruce Schwab. The backglass art combines picturesque seascapes with the competitive thrill and majesty of the gorgeous ships from the 1930s through 1980s. After its two-month run at the PPM the exhibit will be available for lease to other museums. Beginning with early pinball in 1932, most of the exhibits date from the ’30s, ’40s and ’50s and ends with one machine from the ’80s. This exhibition of sailing-related pinball art includes nine pinball machines, six back glasses and more than 30 photographs of pinball art and advertising with commentary. Some of the pinball artists and their bosses had sailboats or yachts to navigate Lake Michigan that were the inspiration for many designs. Pinball was imbued with an optimistic, vibrant energy of adventure, excitement and escapism. Since the 1930s, pinball machines, a uniquely American invention and art form, were principally manufactured in Chicago and shipped to all corners of the world. “Many collectors have come together to make this show possible.” “We are incredibly fortunate to be able to put together this rare collection of art with actual games from the early years of pinball,” said Fontes. The show was curated by PPM artist and board member, Dan Fontes. With the silk-screened art on the backglass, playfield and cabinet the standard format of pop bumpers, flippers, rollover buttons and targets were high-lighted and more appealing.
