Here's a good example of the differences between states...kerosene is not only legal here in VA, at my last place of residence (a drafty, tiny little log cabin dating from around 1920) we'd just run down to the local convenience store/gas station for it.

And that's exactly the point. When you have a show that needs a lot of specials but you don't have much room, an AutoYoke with a S4 in it is perfect precisely because the S4's light output matches the other equipment on the plot. Most moving lights have a different light source, so getting them to produce the equivalent of R-33 as produced by an S4 with R-33 in the color frame is almost impossible. Ditto for beam edge and all the other characteristics. Of course, if you *want* the ML to stick out from the rest of plot, then that's when you choose a regular ML. The right tool for the right job. - John McKernon ------------------------------ In-Reply-To: References: Message-Id: Cc: marko [at] email.arizona.edu (Mark O'Brien) From: Mark O'Brien Subject: Re: Kerosene Heaters was storm Date: Wed, 15 Sep 2004 08:27:08 -0700 On Sep 15, 2004, at 5:58 AM, Paul Schreiner wrote: > On another note, it also boggled my mind that propane prices vary so > much from region to region.

In Arizona, Propane is often used as a motor fuel, and in fact mandated for people who have certain automobiles with the capability of using it. The propane dealers ran with it, and it costs at least as much as gasoline, when in neighboring states it is half as much.

That's too bad. Carbon Monoxide detectors are cheap. Of course there is my friends wife who took the battery out of the detector because it kept going off. He was gone and she was tired of dealing with it. She didn't have the sense to recognize that there might be a problem. I called on a whim looking for him and found out he was out of town and she mentioned she didn't get any sleep that night because the carbon monoxide detector kept going off. I immediately had her open the windows and leave the house. A close inspection of the water heater revealed a leak in the duct work. I couldn't believe she didn't have a clue about the danger. "You!

And I reply: Paul's right, for one simple reason - there's no such thing as "tempered Masonite" any more; tempered hardboard, yes, but The Masonite Company no longer makes a product callled "Masonite". They do make DURON, a much better product than masonite ever was, which I use for my deck surfaces. The trick to using any relatively thin sheet material for a floor surface is to paint it well on both sides before it's laid, and space it properly when it's laid. See instructions for DURON on my web site: http://www.arts.iup.edu/facthe/gpatrick/instructions/duron%20instructions.htm I wish I had the money for Plyron, on the one hand; on the other hand, I have had no trouble with my Duron surfaces, and 1/4" sheets are considerably easier to replace than 3/4" sheets.

The Franz Leibkind scene when he's chasing them around shooting is all cued manually! It just takes a bit of practice and rehearsal to time them out, but it's a quick and dirty solution that works with little muss or fuss! If the other 3 actors as well as the "shooter" work it out with the operator, the effect can be quite convincing.
