Technically, a garrote is intended to cut off the blood supply to the brain. This is much like a choke hold with your hands. One would have to be extremely phyically strong to choke (i.e., crush the windpipe) a person to death. However, it is quite easy to slow or cut-off the blood supply to the brain. Likewise, the garrote was originally two iron collars place around a persons neck. One was fixed in place while the other was moveable by means of a winch or capstan, thus dislocating the neck causing death. The garrotte of "The Godfather" fame is similar to piano wire with wooden handles on either end to give the used a better grip. While the wire could cut into the skin, it probably would not cut into the carotid artery which would supply the squirting blood. The tendons in the next would prevent that. That said, I suppose if you moved the garrote back and forth as a saw, you might be able to cut through. Sorry - I strive for reality in my stage combat. I try not to indulge in horror movie fantasy. There are too many falicies floating around in the world. David K. "For the theater is a despot, a tyrant to whom you must be willing to pay tribute with every breathing moment."

West shore is Barking Sands, really quiet, hot beach next to the Pacific Missile Test Range. East shore is medium hot, tourist. North shore is more overcast, fewer beaches, more condos, quieter. Center is the canyon, don't miss it. If you're into hiking, I believe the county still gives out free topo maps (the real ones, not gas station maps). Go to the County Building in Lihue, find the Parks Dept. and you'll have to show ID that you're from out of state and haven't gotten a map before (one per family). Note, a lot of trails now have fences across them part way in, private land is taking over the nice center of the island. If you're into diving or surfing, North Shore. ---------- Jerry Durand Durand Interstellar, Inc.

That part's true, I monitor my "burn rate" whenever I'm outside for any length of time. I always take sunblock on trips, but don't use it unless it looks like I'll get even a small burn. I can't see anyone following the "put on sun block anytime you're outdoors" unless they're the type who never goes outside. I'd have to have it on all the time. BTW, the really strong block causes reactions in some people. My wife tried some of the 50 stuff while we were setting up a July 4th show and broke out about an hour later. The operator of that show said he'd seen that in other people and his wife can't touch the stuff. TEST any new sunblock before your vacation. ---------- Jerry Durand Durand Interstellar, Inc.

Seems not much of a point to it, since you will still need to have about half of it anyway. The theater and movie set chapters are mostly just modifications to the basics that one already has to follow. And since the NEC code book sales are a major source of income to the NFPA, they are unlikely to favor any reduced price options. --Dale ------------------------------ Subject: RE: National Electrical Code Date: Thu, 5 May 2005 17:29:43 -0400 Message-ID: From: "Paul Sanow" > -----Original Message----- > From: Chuck Mitchell [mailto:chmitche [at] wisc.edu] > Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2005 2:08 PM > To: Stagecraft > Subject: National Electrical Code snip =20 > Does anyone know if there is an abridged version of the NEC that > contains the sections specifically relevant to theatre?

My Artistic Director has asked me to contact other Theatre Companies (so I use the list) to get your opinions about different fog and snow machines that you have used. We have gotten some funding to beef up our Atmosphere effects. I'm also looking for any one who has used a snow machines like Le Maitre´s Silent Storm . My Artistic director wants to buy some of these for Christmas Carol. We have an aqua fogger but dry ice is getting so pricey that I am looking into the Le Maitre LSX and the Rosco Cold flow. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I had the chance to see it in action not too long ago, and it does a great job of producinge large amounts of low-lying fog. Sound may be a bit of an issue, as it has a bit of a "woof" noise from the rush of the CO2 it uses. It's not too bad, though. I can't speak for the Rosco Coldflow or the LeMaitre LSX, as I've never seen them in action. Hope this helps, Chad >We have an aqua fogger but dry > ice is getting so pricey that I am looking into the Le Maitre LSX and > the Rosco Cold flow.
