  1. In the middle of all the community effort.... on First-Person Account Of Today's Attacks · · Score: 1

    the gas stations are starting to gouge us.

    Prices for gas in Southern Michigan have hit $4.00/gallon.

    My heart goes out to a classmate of one of my best friends.

    She, who is 4 months pregnant, and her husband who had a meeting in the WTC this a.m. at 9. We haven't heard if their okay, but here's hoping...

  6. Whew! on DNA Code - IP or Public Domain? · · Score: 1

    Glad I had my son a few years ago.....I would hated to pay a subscription fee to help create new genetic material. I pay the Friend of the Court too much as it is!

    Now if we could get them to come and repossess some of dad's mid-section genes and a few of those pesky baldin genes, I might just support them for a few minutes.

  7. Deconstruction of restrictions...(Interlocking) on Star Wars Theater Rules · · Score: 1
    The Mechanics of Interlocking

    One projector hold the movie on it's platters and feeds through it then feeds the film to another projector pointing usually in the same direction. The film must be threaded thru 2 large 'W's used to keep tension on it's way back to the original projector. This takes roughly 75-100 extra feet of film to bridge the distance and to fill the rollers of one 'W'.

    The bad part of using the Interlocking is that invariably part of the film in some projectors will end up getting abrasions on the floor if the tension changed suddenly or may get ripped out of a roller. Mostly all of the extra rollers (the usual amount x4-x5 or so ) cause more chances for scratches.

    Other potential problems are incorrect tension management and the ever popular 'Brain Wrap' (read catastrophic foobar) which happens far more often when using interlocks.

  8. And get this..... on Star Wars Theater Rules · · Score: 1

    Not only are they not allowing passes for customers....but they are also not allowing them for employees or managers. There was also talk at my friends theater that the only one who can see it for previews is the manager. And previews are used to check if the film is put together correctly! They won't even let a projectionist who is not a manager watch it without paying for it.......Not that it will be that enforcable...
