The point about high Essex County taxes seems correct from where I sit. I've been pleased with the school system in town, though one son goes to a private school now. Housing costs are pretty high but there are rental properties around if you want to rent in an area before buying (or waiting to buy, it's a competitive market). A friend bought a house in Clifton not long ago and likes it, I can't speak for the schools. Montclair is expensive and the schools were okay but not great years ago. West Orange is a large and pretty nice town, my sisters family was not thrilled with the school system there a couple years ago and moved. I've heard good things about South Orange/Maplewood but haven't spent time there. Kristi, feel free to contact me directly if you'd like any specific information.

Not sure what the changes are in the V2. I have always been pretty happy with it, but it has seen alot more use for caving and climbing than theatre.

I'm sure you guys are kidding... But I gotta be sure. Don't just cut the strings when they're at tension -- loosen off the tuning pins first. Otherwise you could get whipped in a bad way. It's the cast-iron frame that's heavy, the sounding board is the light spruce below the frame. You knew that.

(they are solid underneath). Any ideas? Has anyone experimented? Pancake cylinders are out of the question, and i would perform not to use standard platform brakes.

I was looking for technique of using a non > slip substance adhered to the platform to make them stay put Glue a thin sheet of soft rubber on the bottom of the platform. It won't go anywhere. Use Super-77 or contact cement (with plenty of ventilation).

Basically, they are flat surfaces with lots of holes drilled into them that air under pressure is pumped down into. Imagine an air hockey table turned upside down. When the air is being pumped into it, on a smooth floor the thing is damn near frictionless. IF you can hide a compressed air tank in them or get an air line to them for the movements, they work well, and they don't make a lot of noise. --Dale ------------------------------ From: StevevETTrn [at] aol.com Message-ID: <15d.50bc9b3f.2fb56c55 [at] aol.com> Date: Thu, 12 May 2005 22:35:01 EDT Subject: Photos (was Looking for 2D symbol...) >C.
