Each week, The Exhibitionist comments on the latest news, trends and innovations related to the theater industry, or it discusses long-continuing problems with and complaints against cinemas in general, or it simply relates a specific moviegoing experience of yours truly. But rarely does this column get into the subject of actual movies. Well, seeing as there's not much new in the industry this week, and seeing as I'm fortunately not being dragged to see Sex and the City and therefore have no experience to relate about being a sole male in an auditorium packed with women, I figure this is a perfect time to bring up actual movies. Not just any movies, though: I'm presently only interested in discussing movies about, set in or prominently featuring movie theaters.
The earliest movie that I'm familiar with that significantly involves a theater is Buster Keaton's Sherlock Jr. The silent comedian plays a projectionist who falls asleep on the job then has a dream in which he literally climbs through the movie screen and into a detective film. A similar idea of breaking the boundary between auditorium and screen is used in Woody Allen's The Purple Rose of Cairo and in John McTiernan's The Last Action Hero, both of which involve a movie character who manages to leave his respective film within the film. But nothing tops Keaton's screen-entering stunt, which utilizes special effects that still astonish more than 80 years later. While on the subject of projectionists, I'd like to take this opportunity to list a few other favorites. Of course there is the lovable old man played by Philippe Noiret in Giuseppe Tornatore's Cinema Paradiso, which is certainly one of the greatest odes to movie theaters and moviegoing ever made (If I ever am able to build my dream movie palace, I will be sure to pay homage to the film by putting a big open-mouthed lion's head around the projection booth window). Then there's Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) from Fight Club, who likes to splice frames of porno films into prints of family movies, and Dez (Aidan Quinn) from Desperately Seeking Susan, who is representative of the kind of cineaste projectionist that seems to no longer exists in the era of manager-projectionists (his apartment is filled with cans of film prints, which he presumably owns). Still, he does manage to mess up the print of The Time Travelers he's showing because he's too wrapped up in the movie's convoluted plot.
Having worked as a manager-projectionist at a theater, I hate when prints get messed up (in Desperately Seeking Susan, there's another cringe-worthy part where Dez's film prints are tragically found strewn about his apartment by the movie's bad guy), yet one of my all-time favorite movie theater scenes in a movie does actually involve a print being melted in a projector. In Gremlins 2: The New Batch, there's a moment when the movie we're watching is made to look like it's melting, and then we get a reflexive little fourth-wall-breaking interlude in which we learn that Gremlins have taken over the projection booth (obviously the sequence doesn't work so well when viewed at home), because they'd rather see Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. In reponse, the theater manager walks into the auditorium and asks none other than Hulk Hogan for assistance. The Hulkster obliges, rips off his shirt in his trademark style and yells at the Gremlins to put Gremlins 2 back on. And then the movie commences.
The sequence of course references the first Gremlins, in which the little green monsters famously attend a screening of Snow White. Joe Dante, who directed both the original and sequel, is clearly a fan of movie theaters and moviegoing experiences, and his greatest homage to both is with Matinee, which is set in the early 1960s and celebrates the time period's moviegoing gimmicks, specifically those employed by schlockmeister William Castle (who is sort of fictionally portrayed by John Goodman).
While Castle (and Goodman's character) literally brought the scare tactics into theaters, other horror films have done so more figuratively, and reflexively. Who wasn't looking behind him or herself while watching The Blob after the gelatinous creature seeped into a theater and swallowed up the projectionist and members of the audience? Both Gremlins movies could have a similar effect, as one might wonder if a creature is lurking underneath his or her seat. And anyone watching Twister at a drive-in may have worried that a tornado might be approaching.
Another horror film with a great movie theater scene is Messiah of Evil (aka Dead People), which was written and directed by the duo that also co-scripted American Graffiti, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Howard the Duck. The scene is, to me, first and foremost a great, lengthy joke on the problems of latecomers at the movies and of feeling claustrophobic because of people who sit too close. But it ends with zombies eating a girl (who looks exactly like twin rockers Tegan and Sara), so I'm betting it made some moviegoers in 1973 double check to make sure their fellow audience members weren't bleeding from their eyes.
Then there's Scream 2, a highly reflexive slasher movie that features a couple being murdered during a screening of a horror flick titled Stab (which is based on the events of the first Scream), and Scary Movie, which lampoons that scene. Personally, I hate the whole Scary Movie franchise, but its scene in the movie theater is priceless. Regina Hall's character does pretty much every obnoxious thing a moviegoer can do: talks; hypocritically yells at others for talking; talks on her cell phone; brings in outside fried chicken; etc. Finally, the other patrons in the auditorium take turns stabbing her to death.
Scary Movie seems to reference all the worst things about today's moviegoing experience with that scene, but other movies both old and new provide their share of commentary: Bachelor Party makes fun of the confusion to be had at multiplexes with too many screens; Dirty Work displays the meanest theater manager (played by Don Rickles, of course); Dancer in the Dark seems to take issue with the people who take issue with talking; Scorsese's Cape Fear has Robert DeNiro smoking a cigar and laughing way too loudly; Cooley High depicts a gang fight in an auditorium; Annie Hall shows the annoyance of waiting in line at the movies; and John Tucker Must Die has a gag about the preshow slides (they advertise that John Tucker has herpes).
But there are also plenty of films that shine a positive light on moviegoing. Steve James' documentary Reel Paradise presents a literal paradise for indie-movie guru John Pierson, who gets to spend a year operating a cinema in Fiji. Cinemania, another documentary, shows the dream life of jobless New Yorkers who go to the movies all day, every day. Night of the Comet tells us that sleeping in a projection booth could save us from a deadly comet. True Romance reminds us that we could meet our future significant other at the movies (even if she's paid to be there).
Okay, so none of those films are what the average movie theater experience is like, but any film with a movie theater scene can remind us of our best moviegoing memories. Every time I watch Grease I miss my local drive-in. When I watch Sullivan's Travels I immediately want to go see whatever stupid comedy is out in theaters, with as big an audience as possible. Wish You Were Here makes me recall the joys of being young and making out at the movies. And tons of other films, from Lucas to Taxi Driver to Brief Encounter to Donnie Darko to The Front Pageto Heavenly Creatures to One Crazy Summer to a thousand other movies I can't think of at the moment, give me similar feelings of nostalgia and of gratitude that movie theaters haven't gone away just yet.
Above all, though, one film takes the cake as best movie theater movie of all time, and that's Tsai Ming-liang's Goodbye, Dragon Inn. Nearly dialogue-free and set entirely in an old, decrepit theater on the eve of its closing, the Taiwanese film is a 90-minute dream for any cinemaphile. There are plenty of cons of moviegoing depicted, from noisy audience members to transvestite ghosts (the latter of which I've never personally experienced), but as a former employee of the theater industry and a devout worshipper of cinema (with movie theaters being my churches), I am completely in love with the film. I come very close to tears when the theater shuts its doors at the end, because, really, it represents the shutting down of all theaters around the world as movie theater attendance diminishes.

Buffalo's leading lady of rock music, Ani DiFranco, was given the National Organization of Women's Woman of Courage award Friday afternoon at the group's 40th annual convention in the Albany Crowe Plaza Hotel ballroom.
Upon accepting the award, DiFranco surprised the crowd by announcing that she is 12 weeks pregnant, due in February. The father, New Orleans native Mike Napolitano, produced her upcoming album "Reprieve."
Latifa Lyles, NOW's vice president of membership, presented the award, lauding DiFranco for her music and her independent thinking, according to the Associated Press.
DiFranco has released all 18 of her albums -- including the upcoming August release, "Reprieve" -- on the Buffalo-based Righteous Babe Records she founded in 1990.
The prolific recording artist has written passionately about the female condition -- in songs and spoken-word tracks -- addressing abortion, sexism and rape to name but a few recurring topics.
DiFranco is the first musician to receive the award, given each year to a woman who has set herself apart by her contributions to the feminist movement.
Past winners include singer and actress Barbra Streisand and Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.
Through the Righteous Babe Foundation, DiFranco has backed various grassroots cultural and political organizations, supporting causes ranging from abortion rights to gay visibility.
With all of her successes, though, she hasn't forgotten about Buffalo -- recently converting the old Asbury Delaware United Methodist Church into an intimate entertainment venue, called The Church, at a personal expense of almost $3 million.
The 1,200-seat concert hall is also the new home for Righteous Babe, which relocated there in March.
"Ani has had a successful career. She had a choice to invest in the stock market or invest in her community, and she chose to invest in her community," her manager, Scot Fisher, told The Buffalo News in January.e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Evangelical hospital nurse becomes
cardiac-vascular board certified
LEWISBURG - Registered nurse Cheryl Walter recently became board certified as a cardiac-vascular nurse, making her the first nurse at Evangelical Community Hospital to receive this designation. Walter, celebrating her 37th year at Evangelical this month, works in the Cardiac Rehabilitation Center and is encouraging and mentoring other nurses in her field to become certified.
"When the new Cardiac Rehabilitation suite opens in July, the skills I've acquired as a certified cardiac/vascular nurse will be put to good use with our patients on the latest technology and in a larger environment," Walter said.
The American Nurses Association Credentialing Center provides registered nurses with resources to achieve practice excellence through its internationally renowned credentialing program that certifies nurses in specialty practice areas. In addition to credentialing, the center recognizes health care organizations for promoting safe, positive work environments and accredits continuing nurse education organizations.
The cardiac/vascular nurse certification validates nursing knowledge in the two overlapping areas. Completion of the program demonstrates the participant meets the nationally recognized standard for their area of specialty. The examination in cardiovascular disease tests in seven main areas of nursing practice including the study of functional changes and how those changes present themselves in cardiovascular disease; communication; provision of care; patient and family/caregiver education; psychosocial aspects of cardiovascular disease; leadership; and legal and ethical issues.
Walter, of Milton, is the critical incident stress management coordinator at the hospital and is involved in the clinical ladder project. She teaches as a basic life support and advanced cardiac life support instructor and is an active member of the Hospital Incident Command Committee. She recently was elected president of the Tri-State Society for Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation and is active in the National Certification Process, by which the Cardiac Rehabilitation Center is certified through the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation.

The Rocker of the Month award at Jersey Shore Hospital recognizes an employee who goes above and beyond the call of duty and truly embodies great customer service.
Area hospital welcomes new surgeon
JERSEY SHORE - Jersey Shore Hospital Foundation Inc. welcomed Dr. Duane Tull, general surgeon, to the Jersey Shore Medical Associates practice on May 14.
The board-certified physician has practiced general surgery for 12 years, most recently in North Carolina, and has relocated to the Jersey Shore area.
Tull received a bachelor's degree from Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia and his medical doctorate degree from the Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, Va.
In the late 1990s, Tull completed a residency in general surgery at the Medical Center of Delaware and the Christiana Care Health System, both in Newark, Del.
Tull is experienced in many aspects of general surgery including laparoscopic, open, and upper and lower endoscopy as well as bariatric surgery, and has spent a few years working in the eastern half of Pennsylvania.

CNN is the latest to sign an exclusive contract with Google for its AdSense program. The deal means that businesses will now be able to target ads for the CNN crowd, and CNN gets to earn revenue from ads.
The news provider seems generally interested in enhancing its online presence, and has even gotten in on the web 2.0 act, partnering with Google's YouTube for online presidential debates, with user participation. And should Google execute some of the features that have been submitted for patents, as was announced yesterday, sites like CNN that are heavy with premium content with large readership bases could benefit from Google's possible upcoming sharing options for search results and the provision of more targeted ads.

Tonight sees the umpteenth appearance of 'Lord' Conrad Black on British TV since he was released from jail. Appearing on the no-longer-remotely-funny Have I Got News For You confirms that Black is back.
Like many fabulously wealthy darlings of the Tory media who are feted, treated deferentially and allowed to regale us with their crypto-fascist views on shows like Question Time, it turned out beyond the scenes he had his snout in the trough on an industrial and highly illegal scale. When you think what the bankers have done and managed to get away with scot-free, you get an understanding of how naughty (and hubristic) he was.
I can understand why Black is touring the studios and getting his arse on any seat with a camera in front of it. He has a book to sell, and there is also the small matter of him being a psychopath. His behaviour: self-righteous, embittered, brazen and aggressive, bears all the hallmarks of someone who has convinced himself he has done nothing wrong. A gift for self-delusion characterises many convicted fraudsters. Jeffrey Archer is another example, and another right-wing Tory, coincidentally.
He's an awful, revolting man who should still be in prison. Instead however he's everywhere one looks right now.
And that's the thing. I expect no better of Black. But why are so many other people, who should know better, so desperate to give him a platform to be so dishonest and boorish? Why is he being given so much airtime and allowed to present himself as either a wronged victim or a lovable rogue? Why are HIGNFY (I'd be less appalled if he was actually witty and fitted the usual profile of HIGNFY guests and presenters, Jeremy Clarkson excepted, but he's about as funny as an episode of How I Met Your Mother) Paxman, Boulton et al giving him the oxygen of publicity, which right now he wants and needs desperately, if he is to make the comeback he is clearly planning?
Now I know why, dear reader. It's a rhetorical question. He sells papers and increases viewing figures, so in a sense we are all complicit. Many of us can't take our eyes off him like we can't take our eyes off a car-crash.
But in the aftermath of the Savile scandal and the incompetence and cowardice it has exposed at the BBC, wouldn't it have been nice for someone at that venerable institution to take a stand for once and refuse to allow Black on any of their shows? Wouldn't that be a signal that a lesson has been learned?
Wouldn't it be nice, just once, to see a display of editorial integrity on the part of our media and programme-makers?
So when Ian Hislop said to Black on the pre-recorded episode:
"You went to jail, you've come back, you would like to be rehabilitated. You've come here to say you're innocent, which is sweet but not true."
He is right, naturally, but he is also assisting him in that very rehabilitation.

For what seems like years, JD Roth [3] has sung the praises of one Chris Guillebeau [4], author of the Art of Non-Conformity blog. For months, I'm pretty sure every conversation we've had (and we talk almost every week in preparation of the Personal Finance Hour [5]), the Guillebeau name comes up. I don't really know much about him but I do know he has the audacious goal of visiting every country in the world. Every single one of the 192 countries in the world… and he's already scratched 122 off the list [6].
Knowing nothing else about him, other than scanning his blog a few times, I knew that at the very least he'd be an expert on travel and squeezing every bit of value out of his dollar. You see, Chris isn't rich. He makes a living as a blogger but he's not the heir to a vast fortune he taps to fund an extravagant lifestyle. He's someone who has decided what he wants to do with his life, designed it in a way that makes his goals achievable, and explains the whole mentality in a totally free ebook called A Brief Guide to World Domination [7]. I think it gives you great insight into who he is and a taste of his writing style, which takes me to his latest piece of work – Frequent Flyer Master [3].
So what does someone without bags of cash lying around need to do to visit over a hundred countries? You have to be very resourceful.
Chris sent me a copy of Frequent Flyer Master (for free and at my request) because, as I've admitted many times before, I'm a fan of travel. I favor experiences over things [8]. After hearing JD gush about Chris and after learning Chris' goal was to visit every country in the world, I wanted to know what this guy knew.
After reading the forty page ebook, I was impressed both by the "hacks" Chris has been able to find and his overall approach. The hacks will change every year, since companies will try different promotions and offers, but if you have a solid approach then you can adapt to the changing environment. The first half of the book is spent discussing the "strategy" Chris uses, the second half discusses the tactics he uses to earn more miles.
For example, one of his best pieces of advice in the book is to have a travel goal in mind. His is to visit every country in the world, he has about seventy left. If you don't have a travel goal, you won't get as much value out of his book because you don't have a purpose in mind. It doesn't have to be as ambitious as his, but it has to be something you're working towards. A laudable, though less ambitious, goal is to get one free flight home every year or a free weekend hotel stay. Having a goal in mind is crucial because it puts the tactics within a context. Miles have value since you're working towards something tangible, rather than just "racking up more miles."
If you're a well seasoned traveler, the ideas in this book might not be mind blowing, especially if you're done a lot of the analysis yourself. However, if you're new to travel or wondering if there are tricks you don't know about, take a look at this book. The book itself is $49 and comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. "Using the information in the guide, you'll earn at least 25,000 Frequent Flyer Miles, enough for one free plane ticket ($300+), within 90 days. If not, I am obligated to give you your money back—even if you love the guides."

Zope 3.4 Now Egg-Based
The new version of the Python content management system (CMS) has split its source code into separate packages, called eggs.
The separation of Zope sources into eggs should provide users and developers more independence, hence a new download version with so-called known good sets (KGSs). A KGS is a configuration of packages proven to work well together. Along with this the Zope Foundation made a "renewed commitment" to update its CMS every six months.
New to Zope is also the jquery JavaScript library that simplifies HTML page interactions, such as text windows at a mouse click, for which the jQuery website provides an example. The library comes under MIT or GPL licensing. Zope 3.4 includes a Python-layer package for jquery.
The new Zope requires Python 2.4 or 3.5 to run and zlib installed. The download package on the new KGS webpage takes up about 7 MBytes, with an additional source version. Zope 3.4 contains a few BSD-licensed modules and is under Zope Public License (ZPL), which is GPL-compatible to allow redistribution with a retained copyright notice and change notification.

A year ago, Ben Bernanke (head of the US Federal Reserve), startled financial markets with his claim that "green shoots" of recovery were now visible.

Sentiment is a very important influence in markets. When positive, as it has been since March, traders tend to 'look through' today's problems to a brighter future. But at some point, reality needs to confirm this optimism. The IeC Boom/Gloom Index (blue column) aims to measure these changes in sentiment. It correctly forecast March's turning […]
Green shoots begin to disappear
September's IeC Boom/Gloom Index© is slightly higher than August. But the 'Green Shoots' level (green line) has fallen sharply, indicating that sentiment has become less positive about the staying power of the recent rallies in financial markets. The index now includes a new reading for "frugal" (red line), as this may be worth watching in […]
Restocking continues, consumers become more frugal
There are clear signs in the above chart that the inventory cycle has turned positive again, as customers restock. Globally, data from the American Chemistry Council shows chemical production now down 10.5% versus last year, after being 13.4% down in March, in line with signs that GDP in the west is now stabilising.

Check out the Vulcan arms web site.
They have their own version of the Armalite 180
Looks good and reasonably priced.

Hesse is one of the worst firearms manufacturers there has ever been, and I wouldn't trust them to build a super soaker correctly.
March 15, 2006, 12:35 PM
Definitely some of the sketchiest crap I've ever seen.
March 15, 2006, 12:37 PM
Darn. I thought you meant the planet Vulcan and was somewhat intruiged.

I'm not quite as down on Hesse/Vulcan stuff as some others.
I wouldn't turn one of their products down if it was free. But that's about it.
March 15, 2006, 01:24 PM
I suspect they'd have a hard time making a decent cap gun for Roy Rogers wannabee's.
March 15, 2006, 01:29 PM
Vulcan Arms aside, (any company with the claim "Best-built fireams in the world" seems a little shady) What about the AR-180 as a rifle, I know Armalite has an updated version for around $1000. How do these compare to AR-15s? I know its an older design, but I have heard people claim that they are worth their weight in gold.
Bartholomew Roberts
March 15, 2006, 01:37 PM
It is rarely a good sign when you have to change the name of your company (Vulcan) to escape all the bad publicity associated with the previous company (Hesse).
March 15, 2006, 02:10 PM
you might want to check out a Daewoo. DR200s can be had for about $600.

Weren't some Hesse FAL receivers known for self destructing?
I've never messed with an AR-18 but I do have a whole bunch of articles from the '60s talking about them. Designed by non-Stoner folks at Armalite to be a weapon suited for inexpensive mass production in other countries. The guts supposedly are designed to digest dirt and eject it. I guess they were trying to get into the AK's market share back then but it didn't work.

AR-180s and related rifles (G36, for example) are supposed to be Just Dandy.
But don't buy Vulcan.

There are a lot of people buying Vulcan AR lower receivers over at calguns.net. They feel safe buying the lowers since the lower in the AR system does not do much. As long as it is in spec the lower should work. There are varying degrees of happiness with these receivers however, and more than a few people that have receivers that are out of spec. Very few of them have ever considered buying a complete firearm from Vulcan. One of the sad things about Vulcan is that they have a tremendously diverse product line that would be great if they only produced a quality product. What other company produces clones of an AR, AK, MAC-10, Galil, MP5, AR-180, and a .50 rifle? In addition to producing FAL and AR-10 receivers. If only these products were well made it would be a great company, but alas they are usually just malformed paperweights.
March 16, 2006, 07:53 AM
Can anyone supply any factual information to go along with all the conjecture?
I don't own a Vulcan or Hesse, and have no connection to either, but I guess being an engineer - I take the Jack Webb approach.
March 16, 2006, 09:14 AM
Their polymer uppered AR was pathetic. It broke at the rear pin (multiple different ones).
If it says Hesse or Vulcan on it, run away, don't shoot it, don't let friends or loved ones shoot it, don't stand near someone shooting it, etc.
By all accounts the AR180 is supposed to be a very decent weapon.
March 16, 2006, 09:20 AM
OK, so you used one of their lowers to build a rifle and it broke.
Did you get a refund?
Does your dealer still stock them?
What did you wind up using instead?
I am out in the boonies, so I don't get a lot of first hand reports about off brands at the local shop.

March 16, 2006, 10:34 AM
I just finished building an AR-15 on a Vulcan receiver.
Everything went prett smoothly, i had to dremel the rear take down pin hole just slightly.
Either the lower or the upper is a tiny bit out of spec. Not sure which.
I'm guessing it might be a combo of both since it's a no name upper left over from the shop.
March 16, 2006, 11:31 AM
Ascott, not conjecture.
For you background, I am a dealer. www.fbmginc.com We specialize in evil black rifles, and sell more AR and AK type rifles than anything else. So we've seen pretty much every kind of black rifle.
I won't touch Hesse with a ten foot pole. I don't want them in my store, because from what I've seen I've got about a 50% chance that it is going to come back with a very unhappy customer. The other half probably hasn't shot theirs enough yet.
If something can be out of spec, it will be. If a hole can be drilled wrong, it will be. Misshapen paperweights.
I'm sure there are some good Hesses out there, I just haven't seen one in person.
March 16, 2006, 03:43 PM
I have two hesse built rifles. One is an ar with about 6000 round trouble free.
The other an ak with about 2k on it.
both have been trouble free.
I did have a DPMS lower crack on the third shot from new. They took care of it of course.
March 17, 2006, 12:57 AM
I don't own, or plan to own a Hesse/Vulcan. Don't have any personal stake in this whatosever, but I will say that I know of 5 rifles made by them that I have first hand experience with. I shoot with a group of guys, and 3 of them have Hesse guns. None of them have had any problems whatsoever. The only one that was any sort of problem was an AR build that was short stroking, but it turned out to be a diassembly/reassembly problem of the user, not Hesse's fault.
I'm sure they've earned their bad reputation, but it's also obvious to me that they have made some good guns too. Probably like Century.....good and bad. I wouldn't roll the dice, but let's not listen to the experts that say they're all dangerous/broke/out of spec. That's clearly not the case.
March 17, 2006, 07:49 AM
Hesse = Vulcan = DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
There are other vendors that do not seem to have change their names, have poor customer service, and lack the arrogance of Hesse!
March 17, 2006, 10:03 AM
Presently there is one other manufacturer of an AR-180 and their uses a proprietary scope adaptor - not a universal Weaver mount.
Just an observation.

Guess what? I have a vulcan and im perefectly happy with it. I baought a vulcan M-11-9 pistol (mac clone) at a gunshow for 200$. All it needed was tuning up a few rough edges. doesnt jam, no FTFs or FTEs. and while yes it IS a phone booth gun, you get alot of range cred when you rip out a 32 round mag as fast as you cna pull the trigger.
Dave Markowitz
April 21, 2006, 08:56 AM
I had a Saiga that Hesse converted into an AK-103 lookalike. After about 180 rounds, the FCG parts they installed started to peen and the gun wouldn't function (hammer wouldn't fall). The FCG parts they used were too soft.
I replaced the FCG with a Tapco G2 set and the gun has digested at least 500 rounds without a bobble.
I wouldn't buy anything that says Hesse or Vulcan on the side ever again.
April 21, 2006, 01:28 PM
Too bad because both names are so awesome. Especially Hesse.
The Grand Inquisitor
April 21, 2006, 02:01 PM
I just looked at their website, and they make a really nice Galil clone, and I'd probably start saving up to buy it right now if it were made by a company without such a reputation for crapitude.
I especially wouldn't get near a Vulcan rifle spitting out .50 BMG...that's destined to fail and asking for Scattered Remnants.
April 21, 2006, 02:18 PM
I saw that galil too. It was great. exactly what Im looking for but Im not about to spend 2 grand on one. ESPECIALLY a hesse. If it was made by vector, or bobcat Id still not want to pay 2 grand. It shouldnt even be 1 thousand.
April 21, 2006, 03:53 PM
No experience with Vulcan or Hesse but, I am plenty happy with my Ar-180B.
FabulousFink, Afaik Armalite never released their upgraded Ar-180.
Ascot500, check out www.stormwerkz.com for some Ar-180 accessories, including a scope mount that uses a picatinny rail.
April 21, 2006, 06:05 PM
Not to fuel the fire over Hesse/Vulcan, but the attached pics are of a Hesse AR reciever that belongs to a friend of mine. He finished the build, and had to travel, so he allowed me to do the test shooting. This reciever failed after the second round I fired. Not the second magazine or case, the second ROUND. The build was done with all new lower parts and an existing upper. There were no goofey components or junk involved. The owner has about 5 other AR's, and experienced in building, since he has built them all.
Hesse required the whole rifle be returned to them before they would comment on making a warranty adjustment. The owner refuesd to send the whole rifle, since only the reciever was bought from Hesse (through Fulton Armory, I think). This was about 3 or 4 years ago, but the reciever resides in Dallas, Texas, and would be available for anyone that wants to examine it. Bottom line, no warranty at all!
Here is what happened at the range:
Specifically, when I shot the rifle at Gibson's Outpost (SE Dallas), I loaded only 3 rounds in the magazine. I did this to make sure that if something went crazy with the FC group, the rifle would not go full auto on a full mag. First round was fine, but felt funny, like the rifle was tight. The second round fired fine and the action cycled, and then I found the rear sight against my glasses, and something falling into my lap. I first thought the stock came off, but realised after seeing the back side of the lower still attached to the stock. I looked up at the back of the upper with the bolt carrier in front of my nose, a locked bolt on a live round, and my finger off the trigger (fortunately).
I hit the safety, and pulled the bolt charging handle, which ejected the shell, and pulled the bolt carrier and handle all the way out. I re-cased the "rifle" and took it back to it's owner when he got back in town.
Anyway, you descide. Maybe Vulcan has done better, but the origional Hesse company doesn't hold as one of my preferred manufacturers. :fire:
April 21, 2006, 06:17 PM
I didn't know they made AR lowers with MIM now! :evil:
April 21, 2006, 08:15 PM
that is the exact failure that my DPMS receiver had on the fourth round fired.
April 21, 2006, 08:26 PM
'hound, do you have any pics of the DPMS failure?:what:
I have 2 builds on DPMS lowers!:scrutiny:
April 21, 2006, 09:42 PM
What AR companies use MIM parts? Is this why DPMS is so much cheaper? Is MIM really that bad?
Lobotomy Boy
April 21, 2006, 10:05 PM
DPMS used to use cast lowers, but now all their lowers are forged. I've got several thousand rounds through mine with no problems whatsoever.
It's too bad Vulcan has such a bad rep. They are a local company and I'd hoped they would build a good product.
February 6, 2008, 07:00 PM
Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but I had to share my experience today at a local gun store. Until this point, I was really impressed with this particular gun store.
So I'm wandering about the store, and I see this.... thing... that looks rather interesting. Looks kinda like an HK G3.... But not..... Still can't really figure it out.... I pick it up and it weighs a ton and a half. Granted, that's partly because of the tacticool bipod and quick release scope on there. And then I look at the side of it. Hesse.... I have no idea what this company is, but it's obviously a G3 clone. So I ask the guy in the shop what he can tell me about it...
"Oh, it's basically an HK G3, made with all HK parts, but assembled by Hesse". Ok, I'm interested. It's priced at $799... 1/2 to 1/3 of the price of an HK according to gun shop guru there... Little warning light comes on, but I'm interested still interested, but more cautious. OK. Now I'm really interested... I let him know I'm gonna run home and do some research, and he's praising how good this gun and manufacturer are. And I ask him again, clarifying that this is an HK part rifle with a Hesse receiver. "Yup" says he... "Same quality as HK, 1/3 the price..." By now my bull**** detector is starting to peg, and that little warning light has gone from a little LED to a half-million candlepower spotlight. So I figure I'll look up "Hesse guns" on ye olde Google. First hit is for this thread. And now I'm *really* glad that I walked out of there with my wallet still in my pocket. And I may call the owner of the gunshop up and let him know that if his employees are taking the responsibility for recommending a potential grenade that might blow up in one of their customer's faces, they may want to up their liability insurance a bit....

Ascot500, that is the OEM mount of original AR180. but [current] armalite did make a handgaurd with a rail on it. dunno if they still do.
February 7, 2008, 02:26 PM
I'm just getting ready to finish off (as finished as they ever get anyway) my first AR. I'm thankful someone clued me in on Vulcan/Hesse/Blackknight as I came -this- close to buying one of their rifle kits.
February 7, 2008, 02:30 PM
Black Knight another part of the Hesse/Vulcan group?
February 7, 2008, 02:37 PM
I was told that most of what they sell was Vulcan/Hesse stuff.
I couldn't swear to it on a stack of Bibles, but as their carbine kit was almost $100 cheaper than most of the others I looked at it seemed pretty likely.
February 7, 2008, 02:47 PM
Black Knight another part of the Hesse/Vulcan group?I have no idea whether or not Black Knight is associated with Hesse. However, this is what Hesse does:
They sell crap under one name and, when the returns and the customer rantings and the lawsuits and the calls to the BBB get to be too much, they change their name to something else. I don't think they have a "group", which makes it sound like they're some sort of elite weapons-making conglomerate like FN. They're just one inept company that is actively on the run from its reputation.
February 7, 2008, 02:47 PM
Oh, I don't know, the Vulcan guns are just fine for a suicide bomber, all he'd have to do is run at people firing it until it explodes...that way he doesn't have to worry w/ those pesky bomb belts..sometime they don't detonate but the Vulcans are assured to detonate.......HAHAHAHA!
February 7, 2008, 02:54 PM
This is the best resurrected thread EVER! I've never laughed so much.
Maybe one day I'll catch a glimpse of the elusive rifles... and laugh at it. But from a distance, because I don't want to get shrapneled (a word?).
February 7, 2008, 03:53 PM
I'm not quite as down on Hesse/Vulcan stuff as some others.
I wouldn't turn one of their products down if it was free. But that's about it.
I'm not willing to accept the personal liability. I'd probably get named in the lawsuit when it blows up and wounds 6 bystanders.

February 7, 2008, 08:13 PM

As Mr Roberts has pointed out, it's "Blackthorne", not Black Knight. Although Black Knight would be funnier.
February 7, 2008, 08:37 PM
I've had a Century FAL built on a Hesse FAL-H receiver (supposedly the worst FAL and maybe the worst firearm ever made although I doubt it compared to that French POS machine gun from WW I) since 2001. This gun has shot thousands of rounds of surplus ammo and commercial 308 (Radwaqy green, Portugese, South african, american eagle etc.) and has alway worked perfectly. Its Accurate, realiable and a real pleasure to own.
No, its not as pretty as a DSA or FN-FAL. But I'll tell you what, you buy the ammo and come to Miami and I'll definately put this gun up against any other FAL and I think anyone that listens to the errornet BS will be the ones surprised at its performance.
February 7, 2008, 09:22 PM
Hesse / Vulcan crap is good for two things.
1. EBR "buy-backs"
2. Make into lamps
Carefully inspect it before doing #2, might still be unsafe.
I suppose I would take one if it were GIVEN to me, but I wouldn't fire one on a dare.
February 8, 2008, 10:01 AM
surfinUSA ,
my experiences have been the same as yours with a heese carbine upper i owned. but one must relize this is only a single heese reciever and bbl, and the assembly/fitting was done by others, -Century Arms Intrnational.
who, incidently, also catch a lot of net-flack from the price weighted devaluations of those who may have, have not even shot one themselves. i've had hands-on time with three CAI built FAL's, and one did have probs with substandard parts, and oversized, ovalized pin bores in the lower. even at the lower price range, this WAS NOT a happy owner boasting about the good score he made on a wartoy.
for myself, can't really vote in this election with just a single case history data base. by this i mean:
1- i know for sure what maintenence this has had.
2- i know what quality of ammo made up its diet.
3- i know the magazines were in good shape.
4- i know the gas regulator was correctly adjusted.
5- i know how well other rifles have grouped for me.
could be i was just fortunate. i can't afford to go buy a dozen for a fair evaluation. i knew many people who were very happy with their ford pinto(s) and chevy corvair(s).
just too many variables to form an equation from.
February 17, 2008, 12:08 PM
I have a "Hesse" Galil .223 that looks good and seems to work well. All new IMI parts including barrel. Good finish, different flash hider and had a similar folding stock which I replaced with IMI. Had the same problems as early ORF receivers, didn't like Orlites and AR mag adapters. Little dremiling took care of that. Haven't done any target work yet, just plinking.:)

Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
The sample-preparation and hybridization protocol is exactly the same as that for CGH-only microarrays. We digested genomic DNA from an unknown test sample and a control sample with known genotype with AluI and RsaI. Then we labeled the test sample with Cy5 dye and the control sample with Cy3 dye and hybridized both samples to the same array. After washing, we scanned the slides at 3 micron resolution on Agilent's High Resolution C Scanner and extracted and analyzed the images using Agilent Genomic Workbench 6.5 software.
Our method is similar to restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). In RFLP analysis a genomic DNA sample is digested by restriction enzymes and the resulting fragments are separated by gel electrophoresis. Instead of using gel electrophoresis we use a microarray.
Restriction enzymes cut molecules of DNA at specific recognition sites, so cutting with a particular enzyme should always produce the same size and number of fragments. However, when a site is polymorphic, or existing as two alleles, the restriction enzyme will not recognize one allele and will not cut there, leading to a length polymorphism.
The ~60,000 SNP probes on the CGH+SNP microarray span variant AluI or RsaI restriction enzyme recognition sites and measure the copy number of the uncut allele at those loci (Figure 1). We measure the total copy number of the region encompassing the SNP site by neighboring CGH probes. The copy number of the cut allele can then be inferred from the total copy number and the copy number of the uncut allele.
A SNP copy-number call is made from the log ratio of the test sample (Cy5 signal) versus a genotyped internal reference (Cy3 signal). The copy number of each SNP in the reference sample is known. In order to determine the allele-specific copy number of the test sample, the log ratios of the SNP probes are adjusted by the copy number of the reference sample.
The reference-adjusted log ratios fall into three categories corresponding to the copy numbers of the uncut alleles in the sample, which correspond to the three possible diploid genotypes for the SNPs: AA, AB, or BB. Regions of copy-neutral LOH or UPD are then located by identifying genomic regions with a statistically significant scarcity of heterozygous SNP calls.
With high-quality DNA samples, the SNP call rate is greater than 95% with greater than 99% accuracy, and the presence of SNP probes does not affect the performance of CGH probes. The number and quality of copy number aberrations detected on the SurePrint G3 CGH+SNP microarrays is comparable to detection using SurePrint G3 CGH-only microarrays with the added benefit of simultaneous identification of copy-neutral aberrations.
For a normal diploid region of the genome, one expects the 0, 1, and 2 SNP copy numbers of the uncut allele to be randomly distributed. In a diploid genome carrying a copy-neutral LOH or UPD aberration, the SNP probes will only report alleles that are homozygously cut and uncut (0 and 2 uncut alleles) and, therefore, only two states are found. Figure 2 shows an example of UPD observed in an individual known to have genomic aberrations associated with Angelman syndrome.
In conclusion, the SurePrint G3 CGH+SNP microarray affords the precision of SNP detection to measure copy-neutral genomic changes with ~5–10 Mb resolution as well as the reproducibility of Agilent's CGH platform—all on a single microarray. As a result, researchers no longer need to choose between high-resolution, high-quality CGH data and the detection of LOH/UPD or alternatively run two separate experiments.

I first made homemade pizza dough a little over a year ago. I had been intimidated by yeast and kneading and the process just sounded like too much work. Not to mention, take-out pizza is cheap, easy and always available and for some reason, it almost always hits the spot. But in the spirit of tackling cooking challenges, I decided to give it a go. It was a hit. It remains one of my favorite meals for guests due to the level of ease and the price point.
Over the last year of making pizza, I've had a few hits and misses and thought I share what I've learned:
- The best, easiest, beginner's dough - Smitten Kitchen's really simple pizza dough is, in fact, really simple. It's nice, it doesn't make a ton, and it's the perfect recipe to try for your first venture into baking pizza dough
- Whole wheat dough - I still have not found a whole wheat dough that I like. I attribute this to kneading it by hand and just not being able to get the texture right. If you're making pizza by hand for the first time, I would suggest not doing whole wheat. If you have a great recipe to share, please (please!) share.
- The never-fail dough - Alton Brown's dough is great. His directions are straightforward and easy to manage. You do have to make it the night before, so.
- Really great dough if you like to follow directions - Peter Reinhardt's no-knead dough really is good, but it's a little fussy in its approach. If you follow all of the directions, you will really end up with good dough. If you only follow the bare minimum of the directions (um, mix, let rise overnight in the fridge and then take out two hours before baking), you'll still end up with really good pizza. Also, you're my kind of person.
- Freezing - the dough freezes very well. I like to shape it into individual pies, flash freeze and then drop into a gallon-sized Ziploc bag until I'm ready to use them. When I'm ready, I simply take the frozen dough shell and top it with whatever toppings I'm using and pop into the oven. It may take an extra minute to bake. Quick and easy.
- Pizza stone - You don't need a pizza stone. Sure, it might be nice if you had one, but it's not the only way to make a pizza. Often, ceramic stones become brittle and break after a few uses. I know many people swear by FribraMent but it's not a purchase I've made yet. I use the back of a half sheet pan and works just fine.
- Crispy crust - always cook your pizza with the bottom rack on the lowest setting to get the crispiest crust.
- Temperature - Many recipes call for temperatures of 500 or 550 degrees. A number of ovens don't go this high but don't worry, 450 or 475 will work just fine. If you feel you need a little extra heat, with your pizza on the lowest rack, you can turn on the broiler for a little oomph.
- Smoke detector - There's a good chance your oven doesn't spend a lot of time working in the 450-550 degree range. As such, it's going to burn off some extra stuff that's been hanging around in there and your smoke detector will go off. Not a big problem, just something to be aware of. The more often you cook pizza, the less frequently it will happen.
There are many, many great ways to top pizza. Be as creative as you can possibly stand it. Here are some combinations that have been hits for me:
- Olive oil + shaved asparagus + mozzarella + Parmesan
- Mushrooms + pickled onions + cambozola + rosemary
- Goat cheese + honey
- Spinach + roasted red peppers + mozzarella
- Spinach + ricotta +mozzarella
- Chicken sausage + red sauce + goat cheese
- Pesto + red peppers + goat cheese
Give homemade pizza dough a try. It will be nicely rewarding. If you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them. I'm not an expert, by any stretch of the imagination, but I do like some good pizza.

The first Android phone looks a lot like the fuzzy pictures that have surfaced online for months, with a touch screen similar to the iPhone and a full slide-out keyboard.
Even though three companies hosted the launch event and the software is backed by a consortium, the introduction of the first Android phone made it very clear that Android is about one company: Google.
The new T-Mobile G1 wireless phone, announced Tuesday by T-Mobile USA, Google and HTC, generated attention for its use of the open Android platform, but it will be locked to the T-Mobile USA network and it doesn't appear to be heavily focused on busi...

Tuesday marks the long-awaited introduction for US customers of the first phone running Google's Android software, but some experts warn phone users not to get their hopes up too high.
A week after Apple rejected his iPhone application and barred it from selling on the App Store, developer Alex Sokirynsky has turned to a little-known, but still Apple-approved, distribution channel to sell his work.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Set during and immediately after the Second World War, Greene's novel starts in the middle of its story. Partly for this reason, its well-known opening words have a strong resonance in the narrative: "A story has no beginning or end" (13). Maurice Bendrix, the writer-protagonist of the novel, makes this point in one context, but, as the narrative develops, it appears in others, to do with love, religion, eternity and free will. The fourth of Greene's explicitly Catholic novels, The End of the Affair (1951) in fact concerns a love triangle. It is also a kind of detective story, in which the mysterious third party, of whom Bendrix is so jealous, proves to be spiritual. The novel presents itself as a story of not love but …

WASHINGTON -- The 2012 presidential campaign is heating up and candidates are already staking their ground and targeting voters.
For President Barack Obama, that means a big push for the young voters who helped him win the White House in 2008.
However, that may not be as easy this time around.
Obama's victory in 2008 was indeed historic, powered in large part by a group known as the millenials, voters 30 and under.
"When you get people like Barack Obama, it starts getting a new generation of voters who never thought about politics before," said one young Democrat during the 2008 campaign.
Now three years later, the times, they are a changing. In 2008, Obama took 66 percent of the 30 and under crowd and they also voted overwhelming for Democrats -- 62 percent versus 30 percent for Republicans.
Now the gap has closed considerably. Those numbers are 52 to 39 percent in the Democrats favor, a swing of 19 points.
"We're still in war. We're still in a recession. There's actually people my age graduating and we don't have jobs," Hannah Friedman, a former Obama volunteer, said. "So I think as a result of that people aren't gung-ho about it or excited."
With 45 million millenials heading to the voting booth, their influence is considerable. They could account for one of every four votes in the 2012 election.
The bad news for President Obama is that the recession is hitting the 20-something crowd extremely hard.
While the national unemployment rate hovers around 9 percent, it's around 19 percent for those 18 to 24 and 10.5 percent for those 25 to 29.
The good news is that most of these voters still lean Democratic, so the president has a built in advantage.
Young Republican voters in Iowa and elsewhere know the challenge is a large one.
"I think people here at the straw poll should be worried about the people active because most of the youngsters are active in the Democratic side of politics," one young voter said.
But that's not the case for the Stoelting sisters from Iowa. These 20-something evangelical Christians are trying to mobilize the young Christian vote.
They've started the group, Unite The USA, to promote positive patriotism.
"As believers in Jesus Christ, we need to fight for Christian rights in, of course, biblical ways," Stacie Stoelting told CBN News.
The sisters are posting material online and giving advice to young voters so they can learn how to get active and be well informed.
"We encourage people to be involved in America. We encourage them to learn about our government, to be educated about our history and to take a step in the right direction to protect our rights and our freedom," Carrie Stoelting said.
You can count on President Obama's campaign to fight hard for the youth vote. He is already hitting the college circuit and cranking up his vast social media network.
The GOP will try to compete in that area too, while the Stoelting sisters will be plugging away making sure apathy doesn't rule the day.
"The Roman Empire fell with apathy as a key ingredient, and we have to be careful because apathy fells many a country," Stacie Stoelting said.

Catch Geoffrey and Food Network Friends on the Radio Tomorrowby Maria Russo in Food Network Chef, October 22nd, 2013
You've surely seen him on television as a Chopped judge and as an Iron Chef America superstar in Kitchen Stadium, and you may have even seen him in person at some of his restaurants. But come tomorrow you can hear from Geoffrey Zakarian in one of the most unlikely of places: the radio. For only the third time ever, Geoffrey is teaming up with SiriusXM radio to host a Food Talk broadcast, and the latest show premieres tomorrow, Wednesday, at 7am EST on Stars Channel 106.
This past weekend brought together the most renowned names in the culinary industry at the sixth annual New York City Wine & Food Festival, and Geoffrey kicked off the celebration last Friday by bringing together some of your favorite Food Network stars, including Bobby Flay, Sunny Anderson and Jeff Mauro, plus his fellow members on the Chopped panel, for relaxed chats — and plenty of laughs. Huddled in a studio at the SiriusXM headquarters high atop Manhattan, Geoffrey and his guests munched on sweet and savory bites from his restaurant The National, and dished about some of the most-talked-about topics in the food industry today.

Local candidates fight to the finish on campaign trail
PALM DESERT, Calif. - Rep. Mary Bono Mack, R-Palm Springs, and challenger Dr. Raul Ruiz are facing off in the 36th Congressional District in the Coachella Valley.
It's a race that's being called a "toss-up" by independent political organizations.
Both candidates were on the move Monday -- trying to get an edge with voters.
"Wednesday we will all be exhausted. But right now we're motivated," said Bono Mack.
"The confidence is very high. We're enthusiastically optimistic," said Ruiz.
Several dozen Ruiz supporters turned out on a very warm November afternoon for a rally at Frances Stevens Park in Palm Springs.
"The goal is to make sure everybody participates in our beautiful democracy," Ruiz said.
Ruiz hopes it'll be enough to upend the incumbent who's seeking an eigth term in congress.
Bono Mack stopped by Republican Headquarters in Indio to visit with volunteers.
"This is the exciting part of a campaign. You can see the energy. In my campaign team and the volunteer group. So that is a lot of fun," she said.
Despite their differences, the candidates actually have one thing they can agree on.
"We're working very hard and every vote matters. The future is at stake for this district," said Ruiz.
"Some people are going to say 'my vote doesn't matter.' Our big task is to make sure every person knows their vote matters," said Bono Mack.

In any of its multiple forms, Pagani's Zonda was — and is — an incredible car. The company is hard at work at its successor, which may be the first Zonda offering to officially be street legal in the United States.
In a speech to reporters in his home country of Argentina, Pagani's founder, Horacio Pagani, reportedly told reporters that the Zonda replacement — named the C9 — will be a completely new vehicle from the ground up. The C9's chassis will be made of both carbon fiber and titanium, and will meet NHTSA crash test standards, allowing him to potentially sell the wildly expensive super-exotic in the U.S.
For the C9, Pagani will continue to use Mercedes-Benz power. Instead of the dated 7.3-liter V-12 currently found in the Zonda, the C9 will likely use the twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V-12 found in various Mercedes-Benz cars, including the S600 and AMG's 65-series models. Pagani says power should be in the realm of 690 hp and 737 lb.-ft. of torque.
Pagani plans on winding down Zonda production in September, allowing the Italian company to prepare for C9 production. Pagani plans on building approximately 40 cars a year, and each will likely run buyers at least $1.3 million.
