Dear Ronie Midfew,
Please find enclosed a collection of your correspondence starting from your most recent letter which seems to contain the word "Super" as a clue to the next poster reveal. We have also tried to point out any mistakes you may have made in your correspondence.
Incidentally, you always end your letters "Best and thank you", I wonder where all your wishes have gone ?
If you wish to contact us to discuss, please write to us at the usual address.
Kind Regards

why did we right them again..?
probably because there are a bunch of crazies here.
Since I tossed these in at the end of the last post comments, I'll repost here again:
I attempted to take some shots of "the Transmittion" not sure how happy I am with them yet, but here are some links for those that are printing these out for ummmm clues...
(suggestion - use right click and open in a new tab with these links)
print 9
transmittion tower
quote
signature
page isnt built yet, and I wont know if I am sticking with these shots or not for awhile (Halloween and all) but there ya go!

@Congested,
in case you missed my request on darkufo, could you tell me your order time from the email? Knowing how many milliseconds behind you I was could help me have a restful weekend not wondering.
and it turns out Andy was only a few milliseconds behind me!
PM or DM me if for some reason you are uncomfortable posting it in public.
Thanks! And happy halloween everybody!
Re: Super
Apologies if this is old news.
Googling Shepard Fairie turned up a poster for Art Basel 2008 which mentions Spread and Supertouch.
link
If I am understanding what I'm reading, Supertouch is an online art hub founded by someone named Jamie O'Shea, who is also the editor of Spread magazine.
link
Perhaps this is way off base, but I thought it was interesting given the Super clue.
Nice photos, Reverend Milo. Great work.
Thanks! I have been whining about how hard it is to shoot these prints with their insane color and tonal ranges, basically fishing for compliments - j/k
actually it is my way of saying I have sympathy for the photographer that tries to display these for our purchase over on DamonCarltonAndAPolarBear. They really are hard to shoot mainly because you have to decide what you are going to sacrifice to preserve what you want to show.
Great job Reverend Milo! Love the pictures.
So, any final thoughts on costumes? Maybe we can submit our lost costumes and do a poll or something. I know there were already a few Dharma workers slated to be out, and I would love to see the others (every pun intended).
Reverend Milo, you deserve a lot of compliments on those photographs. I've tried to photograph my two prints and the results were so poor I've given up.
On the other hand, I've been successful at photographing my dog in her Halloween costume.
Here she is. Dharma Doggie!
She's all set to help Pierre Chang supervise the drilling at the Orchid Station.
BG, that is B.A.!!!
Try this, Milo!
The best tool there is…
LR3
2005 Halloween photo, the only thing you don't see is the teddy bear on a string. Sadly, I had to explain myself all night. I think of the 100s only one person got it. Saved this costume in a BOX. Should I open it again?
I'm Lost
Rev, no complaints from me about the photo's they look great.
back_gammon, excellent !
I'm a bit quiet today because of my Nephew coming to visit for Halloween.
Totally awesome, Lotto!
Thanks Thorsten! I will reprocess them through and see what happens.
If you cant tell I am entirely self taught amateur photographer, 3-d modeller, and digital designer.
All of my photo manipulation work was learned using photoshop to create textures for MMOPRG game models (but I was actually contracted for my work by MTV after they saw what I was making for games).
But, with no real professional training, I get a bit self-conscious.
Zort, the Halloween banner is wonderful!
If I dress as empty frame with question mark, how many people would understand that?
Did we asked owner of "rock star" letter if there were typos?
LOL, thanks for the kind words about my doggie's costume picture.
Each year she's had a LOST related costume. If I can dig up the pictures I'll post them later.
Hi Milo!
You know that I am a fan of your work, your twitter icon speaks for itself. Let me know if you need anything, I just finished my book about LR2 ;)
The cool thing about Lightroom is that it allows easy access to the power of camera raw, circumventing the way you use the plug-in in PS. If you use ACR already, I would suggest that you toy around with the settings for white balance, and vibrance, to color-correct your images.
/t
Thanks Thorsen!
I can provide you with the Raw jpg's of my prints so far if you wanted to play with them too. And, I do all of my photoshop work manually (no autocorrects and no plugins) because I am self taught, lol
My background on my twitter page is one of the textures I made for a huge light tower for there.com
Those that are familiar with There.com - I am the designer there known as droopy (the pink bunny on the nike ads in the main plaza), but I haven't been modelling for at over 2 years since my baby came and wife passed. I also did the early work (shamefully) for Virtual Laguna Beach and Virtual The Hills.
friend me on FB and I can get you a zip.
Sorry for being all chatty this morning, I havent had a conversation with anyone other than my 2 year old for 18 hours.
RevMilo, Those transmission pics look great! I just got and hung the print and your photos definitely show the quality of the print. Also, thanks for all your photos on dcaapb.com. I had been following since comic com and held off on getting the posters until I saw your site. You (and your pics) are the reason I got the dharma van. That led me to get the hatch, transmission, swan and the kidnapping! Thanks again!
hhhhmmm.." Super"...just maybe,,ARG is going to Cern...abit of warpage above the super collider wouldn't be out of the ordinary.
MEL
Milo, Squatting in a burger place in freezing halloweeny Berlin right now. You can reach me at thorsten@thorstenwulff.com ,)
thorsten, please send burger to NYC.
Belated birthday wishes Sandman90!
Thanks SA!
I constantly need at least one creative outlet, and now that I am a CIO of a small tax firm, it's hard to do. right now it is DCaaPB
prior to this I zombified peoples profile images on facebook and myspace, and before that I designed shirts I felt would be in horribly bad taste for "first days".
Here is what I made my friend wear to his first day at SMU law:
ages of consent
Tyson, you need to hand out a new clue, and some people in my neighborhood need to wake up so I can stop rambling
email...:D
xxoo
Anon, please do not use offensive language here.
Morning all and Happy SUPER Halloween! Going trick or treating with my 2 year old granddaughter today....Happy Grandma! :)
All this photography talk makes me feel very inferior in my picture taking! LOL
Sent in my Podcast Mosaic and Zort said he got it! Yea! Don't forget to send in yours.
Good morning maven
Happy Halloween to you too!
Have a good time with Elizabeth, she just gets sweeter every day.
Our trick or treat was Thursday.
MEL thinking same but what connections
Happy Halloween all.
ok, need link to GoMerch none of my links working
Try this one LT -
http://actuallyitsketchup.com/dcpb/xr/body.php?module=login&id=1
hah, Amy Lynn, had a Chicken/Peanut butter burger with three pints of Guinness while trick or treaters flooded the place. Now totally stuffed ;))
A chicken peanut butter burger? OK, seriously, I need to get on a plane.
Or go to Shake Shack.
No problem, will be back in NYC in 8 weeks, will get you one ;)
Sounds good. Eight weeks? Are you coming for Emerson's play?
Actually for new years… where is he on stage?
12/28 at St. Clement's
Happy Halloween Argies. :-D
Happy B-day Sandman...don't go chasing an "Runners" tonight if you go out Trick or Treating. ;-)
Thanks for all the links and cool pix everyone.
Has anyone seen The Hatch print for sale? Here is the only one I've seen.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200398587398&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT
All the actual pics of The Transmission really make we wish I didn't sit on the buy it now button like an idiot pondering. Especially now since I love Dan McCarthy's prints.
Rev- You crack me up, here and on EB- I love your shirt and think it would be a funny gift!!
So Zort, what time are you going to bed so we'll know when the new clue will go up? :-)
LOL.
BTW Zort, nice work on the front page!
Capcom, thanks, I'm sure the graphic designers amongst us would have done something wonderful, but I'm reasonably happy with my 5 min effort.
Andy, I'm off to bed in around 3.5 hours, just so you know how long to wait.
good afternoon all! still catching up on the comments. hope everyone is having a great halloween so far! :)
Just saw a twitter post that ABC has announced the official premiere date for Season 6 of LOST! January 20th, 2010. WOOOHOO!!! let the countdown begin!!!
That's good news. We'll get FOUR episodes in before the hiatus!
'afternoon, all.
Hey, Reverend Milo. Fantastic pic! I've been waiting to see some high quality shots of this print...
..and congrats to Congested! Love hearing 'first' prize going to the deserving.
Happy Halloween everyone!!
I just got my Transmission print today. 270/300. My pictures are no where near as good as ReverendMilo but here ya go!
Full Shot
Quote shot
P.S. Back_Gammon Your dog/dog costume is so cute!!
I hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween! I'm being a dharma scientist. I might post a picture :/
Rev Milo- your pics of the Transmission make me regret not purchasing it. o well. From here on out- I think it's gonna be Buy now, ask questions later. It is now obvious that the pictures of the prints don't really do them justice. and seeing them in person will allow me to really judge them accurately. I'm already kicking myself for not buying the Smoke Monster, Dharma Van, and the Transmission. So- if anyone has a Smokie they no longer want.... i'll be your buyer.
cheers!
well..the " And" of DC AND a PB has been changed to an orange and black..so they are working on something...
Eagle Eye MEL
Oh yeah!
Nice catch MEL.
Was only looking at the site about an hour ago too.
Very observent of you Mr MEL.
Which super hero wears Orange and Black ?
HalloweenMan?
Pumpkin Man?....spits seeds at the evil doers!!
MEL
MEL tks for update. had my eye on the site all day, went out for candy and there you go. shall I leave again. maybe they saw Zort70's bedtime and want him awake for clue?
Zort70 you there?
I need a new poster already, my lost wall has 2 poster spaces and they need one filled already!
SO GIVE US A CLUE!!!
I do feel that week after week, the need for a new clue and the anticipation gets worse. Never tried it but I guess this is what heroin addicts feel like.
I'm here, I've put the info on the main page, just in case it is a new clue, but we can keep the comments here for now.
..i don't think the reveal is going to be in Ireland...for some reason or another.
MEL
How about the Orange And Black Super Premium Gas Pump Display Case
Well of course Zort!!! How could I forget H-D's official colors?..Do you realize that H-D makes more money off of clothing,swag,toys,( their name) etc etc..than they do off of their motorcycles? Its True!
MEL
@Zort - I think they're just following your lead... if you can change the front page of LOSTARGS to have a little ghoulish fun, why can't DCAPB? You're leading by example. :) It'll be interesting to see if anything pans out from this.
@Mel - so happy. Saw the prior post.
Maybe the ghosts of Lost past will visit us tonight. Seance anyone? Charlie are you out there?
JPL..how cool would it be if Arzt showed up in pieces!!?
MEL
Now that "Super" has arisen as a potential clue word, has anyone connected this to the fact that the location wrap up photo - the Widmore Publishing comic board- is a "super-sized" photo ?
Not sure if that has been pointed out already. Ron Hermans wrap up twitter for frame 10 was a transition clue into the next frame, so this has precedent...
Does a tigger change his stripes?
Just watched 30Rock ep 403, in which Jenna met JJ and he told her the secret of LOST…
@thorsten Finally!! I commented about that on DarkUFO, and it just flew by everyone.
Jenna: You know I met JJ Abrams once, and I don't know what this means, but he said the island is just Hurley's dream.
Nice Claire!!! Congrats!!
Check out my JJ signed Phaser, Milo…
http://img.trekmovie.com/images/st09/TrekB-119.jpg
Ghosts of Losties past...maybe Frogurt flambe? If he shows up he can have the whole bowl of candy.
We never get any trick or treaters here but I would be so happy if any of you in your nifty costumes were knocking.
Have a great Halloween, you all everybody!
@Rev Milo love the pics. I'm eager to receive this poster. I keep thinking it will be any day now and every day I come home to no poster. But your pics have definitely shown more contrast & colors than what we saw, which excites me.
I echo (echo) those saying the need for a new clue keeps getting more and more, what's the word I'm looking for (yeah I should think before I type not while I type, but I blame having to work on Halloween & my inability to not stop typing) necessary. Vital. I crave it. It's bad. They give me teeny tiny highs. Which for a girl stuck at a design firm right now is kinda nice once in a while.
And I'm done. Rambling. I really need to get a muzzle.
Well if we have no new clue tonight, I have a Transmission follow up post for the morning.
I'm off to bed soon so it shouldn't be too long a wait !
Happy Halloween everyone
Zort70
Said I should ask this here.
I have a copy of The Hatch and want to get it framed this way
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZUmk6IMWZsc/SsTvL6mFwsI/AAAAAAAAA10/0peJ4KSumrg/s1600-h/thecrashjp.jpg
I'd like to get any information I can get on the frame. I took it to get it custom framed and they didn't have the right kind of frame.
Thanks
Sam G
Just stopping by to wish everyone a Happy Halloween! Now it's off to a party!
Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween. Going to start getting ready for a party. I don't know how i'm going to cope without being on here. :P
ShoxTP bring up a good point. Coping.
Not too many ghost and goblins here, a couple of princesses and a werewolf. A nice superhero and his sidekick dog.
Bring your pumpkins inside, or risk their demise. Or is that just how we roll in the Midwest?
Well Lotto...out here in the new west..perhaps because we can remember still when we were kids..the traditional pumpkin has been replaced by the 10cent plastic bag with a pumpkin face printed on it. Just stuff it with lawn clippings and plop it out front..voila!..If the little ...devils decide to have their way with it,,,no big deal, just get out the lawn blower and blow into the neighbors yard. Which reminds me..she took off at the set of sun. Boy is she asking for it! Shes one of the extremists types that doesn't believe we should be supporting a childhood welfare dependency on free candy. Calls them all damned democrats. Then she wonders why her tree gets toilet papered ever year. I won't tell her the easiest way to get the paper out is with the garden hose. Just spray the tree down!. No, its more fun watching her with a rake out there.
I've learned to buy the candy I like the best. Any left overs I then get to enjoy. Reeses PBC's are my favorite. Kids love'em too. Give me another one! Give me another one!
Damned extortionists!
...Boo!....MEL
Don't forget to turn your clocks back to regular island time. :-)
Oh thanks for the time reminder!
anyone see a big face on the dcaapb frame 11 page or have i just looked at it too much. take a look at it, looks like something i've seen before.
MEL, also, Colemans make more money from the mustard left on the plate, than what people eat.
@Lottery Ticket - In New England, the pumpkins are so wikkid pissah that they'll end cahving (we somehow lose the "r" when talking)any kids that mess with them.
No costume... it's still not to late to make your own.
Happy Halloween Folks!
Cap, I tried that once and found that no matter what time it was on the Island, it was 1:08 a.m. in Arizona.
true story !..MEL
" time doesn't matter on a damn island" so I'll just fall back with the rest of the world.
back, back, back
so few memories of Halloween remain clear except that is was always hot (southern gal). I remember being a hobo with torn clothes, a stick with stuffed bundle on the end, maybe a clown. We had great hunted house (abandoned) for daring and one house that silhouetted murder scenes from their living room picture window. This was the year of the razored apple scare and checking each piece was mandatory. Mrs. Feldman across the street made her living room into a mini cafe and made beignets. good times.
The Transmission is the first one my wife agreed to let me hang in our home. The Crash hangs in my office. Here is the twitpic photo of The Transmission - I love it! link
kiwi..Sorry..that one went rite over. My unfamiliarity with Colemans is to blame. But.. many questions come to mind upon your mention.
Is Colemans mustard a particularly offensive mustard?..as in a little bit goes a long way?
Are squeeze bottles not used in application of mustard to food?..and if they are,,do they control the mustard well?
or.. is mustard applied to everything edible and therefore the waste?
Again..sorry for not seeing it. Maybe you can help this ignorant Yank?
custard, mustard, and.. MEL
Just popping to say BOOO and HAPPY HALLOWEEN all.
Hoping all of your ARGers have a safe and fun night this All Hallows Eve.
MEL, I wondered if I explained it well enough! What happens apparently, is you put, say, a teaspoon of mustard on your plate, eat 1/4 of it with the meal (a little goes a long way) and throw the rest away, ergo they make more from what you chuck out!
Clear as mud?
Anon..No.. the face on the upper left screen is just an Eye..The more you stare at it,, the more it looks back at you...and it blinks, at the same time you do. Now thats scarey!
MEL
I'm wondering about our monstrous final clue Frame 11. Will it really stay that way? It playing tricks with my phone, treating me poorly. Tyson, give us about 5 clues so it will move on down the page!
I cant even load the Hub right now - hopefully the next clue will come up first so I can at least see it before 'gigantor' starts loading!
@MEL lol
OK, yeah thats the part I was talking about. It is scarey! And I keep staring at it like an idiot.
...Kiwi..AAH! so it is a strong mustard. Good to know!..I once lathered a hotdog with what looked to be innocent yellow mustard only to soon find out it was a variety of hot that made the flames of hell look like icicles. Know the source of the mustard I always say...well sometimes..
MEL
MEL, if you see English mustard, just give up and run the other way!
Kiwi..i tried some German mustard that made me thankful they didn't use it as a weapon during WW2.
Are Americans the only ones who are courteous enough to put the word " HOT" on food labels? Maybe its only because the food folks don't like being sued..?
some like it, MEL
TA...Nice frame and mat on the Transmission. Helps solve the question of what I was going to do with the same print. Lucky you , you already had a lite green wall. Nice!
MEL
Trial Attorneys
Your print looks really nice hanging on your wall.
img_1307, please go away.
@ LotteryTicket... Regarding the "super-sized" frame 10 wrap up photo - the Widmore Publishing comic board- I wondered earlier if that is meant to be a clue in and of itself? Tyson obviously knows what he's doing, so I think it has to be intentional.
Ron Hermans wrap up twitter for frame 10 was a transition clue into frame 11, so this has precedent...
LT I second that. 3 more for a quorum, we vote, then its gone! Hopefully...
And yes it must be linked to the super clue. Get the next clue - then maybe they will downsize it.
Mid and Kiwi, yes it's a clue. We got it, big, Super, oversized . . . It's just very annoying and we want it to go away. Some following DCaaPB CAN'T load page anymore!
Tyson, if you are reading, please make some amends!
And on a personal note, praying that frame 12 order is in the shopping cart by Wednesday, just saying.
Mid and Kiwi, what time zones? I'd like to add your time to my dashboard
Also, 4 reveals, puts us at Tuesday 24th (before Thanksgiving). I'm assuming that we would then be on our own to discover the 16th (up to Dec 8 for start of LU). Does that sound correct?
Not sure how to explain time zone! lol Im 13 hrs ahead of GMT right now, or at the time I post this its 2 mins away from 5.50pm Sunday!
Does that help?!
Yes! Have thought that myeslf - this needs to be wrapped up b4 LU starts in earnest. Wonder what form the search for the 16th will take.
You = Wellington
Hi ARGies!
I agree about the oversized backer board, and and posted some stuff in on the ABC board in response to Mel.
Sure Tyson/GoMerch have been slipping up along the way, but they have caught their mistakes and amended or changed them pretty quickly -- and with the last mistake on the date of the Frame 11 reveal, and the "no time traveling needed" comment, I'm pretty sure they are actually popping into some of the ARG boards. So, they would have updated the oversized pic if it indeed was in error.
Would love it if it were linked to CERN, but that is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The SSC (Super Conducting Super Collider) is a now defunct project that would have been in Texas (Mel -- another Texas connection for you ;) ). At present the Tevatron at Fermilab in Batavia is the worlds 2nd largest particle accelerator. There was a campaign to have the SSC come to Batavia/Aurora when I was in high school but we lost out to Texas, partly because of the concern about effect on the local landscape/environment. Had the SSC been completed it would have yielded a collision energy almost triple that of LHC/CERN. And of course while both use superconducting magnets in their final stage, neither have "Super" in their name, so we may be a bit LOST here.
But then I realized that the oversized pic at the end of Frame 11 means "Large" like the Large Hadron Collider (CERN)! OK, I realize I have now argued both sides of this and will give up for this night of All Hallows Eve.
LT - Im not in Wellington, but yes that time is me!! :)
ok. All Hallows Eve is over. Clue please
LT, I'm with you on the 4 reveals taking us through the last week of November, but am not totally sure wha they will do about Thanksgiving. Getting the Frame 15 reveal out of the way before makes sense, but a bit crammed towards the end.
Then for the 16th and final frame...maybe a true hunt for clues -- without a posted URL, and only those finding their way to the correct website actually able to log in and purchase print 16?
Im refreshing the HUB like its a poster reveal! Expecting the clue soon...
@Ob - yeah I thought that too! Clues are all there, site is live, you just have to find it... Ugh!
Oh, we'll find it!
Ok, Kiwi. I'm walking around New Zealand. In Wellington having a look around. My sister lives in Syndey. She was in Christchurch for a year.
LT huh? 'walking' around NZ? Check out the Far North. Kaitaia and obviously Cape Reinga.
ChCh is a nice town - very flat!
ok, driving google style up SH2. will jump to Kaitaia *bloop*
At the Beachcomber. Is is still there?
LT - thats very cool! Kaitaia is my local town. Yes, the Beachcomber is still there. Just had a major renovate, very styly now! Aint the internet so cool these days?!
Mobile Station gas was 1.79 when google car drove by
LT - awesome!. Dont talk to me about gas prices - they still are quite high but in the .60's now.
Check out Mangonui, a nice little seaside town close to me.
Ok, found Wreck Bay Road looking at ocean. *bloop*
LT - nice. Thats the best surf break around up here, and the start of Ninety Mile Beach, the 'other' road to Cape Reinga.
on Cape Reinga Road, dirt, maybe paved now? going till I hit water
LT - yay! Yes its almost tarsealed the whole way, I think only 6km or so gravel now. Theyve just spent millions up at the Cape doing it up, its really flash now.
Hopefully when you get to the Cape, you can see the Tasman and Pacific oceans meeting, very impressive.
Road end. but great photos posted. I see a sign to Los Angeles!
ok, I give up. 1 a.m. here. ;(
Kiwi you live in a nice place.
Yes - at the Cape, and Bluff (southern most NZ land) they have these signs to various places round the world. This has been a lot of fun LT. A virtual tour of a country. Cool!! :)
sorry zort70 and all, just trying to pass the time visiting.
Night LT, what a cool eve youve given me - thanks!
As there is no new clue, then the promised Transmission Follow up is now ready.
