Fran McCaffery's temper once again got the best of him, and it came at the worst possible time for Iowa.
With his No. 22 Hawkeyes leading No. 4 Wisconsin, 41-39, with just under 12 minutes to go in Madison, the 54-year-old head coach—putting it mildly—lost his cool, went on a temper tantrum, slightly bumped one of the several officials he was yelling at, received two technicals and was ejected from the game.
When it was all said and done, the Badgers were given six free throws—four of which went to 92.3-percent shooter Ben Brust. The senior made all of his attempts, and Nigel Hayes made one of his two, suddenly giving Wisconsin a three-point lead in the crucial Big Ten contest.
Here's a look at the incident, courtesy of the Big Ten Network:
A wild scene just broke out at the Kohl Center, & it resulted in an ejection for Iowa coach Fran McCaffery. WATCH - http://t.co/pywdJ94vaw— Big Ten Network (@BigTenNetwork) January 6, 2014
Preceding the TV timeout, which is when McCaffery went bananas, junior center Gabriel Olaseni missed a put-back off an offensive rebound. McCaffery thought his big man was fouled, but nothing was called. On the subsequent play, Olaseni was called for a foul of his own, setting off the ticking time bomb that was McCaffery.
Assistant Sherman Dillard stepped in for the Hawkeyes as head coach.
After the game, Benjamin Worgull of BadgerNation and Sean Merriman of BTN.com shared what McCaffery had to say about his actions:
Fran: 'I would love to go there with you and explain my perspective, but it's not allowed by rules.' #Badgers #Hawkeyes— Benjamin Worgull (@TheBadgerNation) January 6, 2014
Fran McCaffery asked if he thinks he will be disciplined for his actions.. "No I got two T's. Why would I be disciplined?"- McCaffery— Sean Merriman (@BTNSean) January 6, 2014
No matter how upset McCaffery was at the pair of calls, he simply can't lose his cool like that—especially with his team on the brink of what could have been a massive conference road win against the undefeated Badgers.
ESPN's Dana O'Neil and Myron Medcalf summed it up:
McCaffery's temper has a resume. Regardless of whether he thinks he was in right, really really bad time to lose it.— Dana O'Neil (@ESPNDanaOneil) January 6, 2014
@GoodmanESPN He can't get tossed in a game like this. Not with his team ahead on the road in a crucial Big Ten game. Can't happen.— Myron Medcalf (@MedcalfByESPN) January 6, 2014
Who knows if Iowa, which led for the majority of the contest, would have continued to hold off Wisconsin, but following McCaffery's ejection, the Badgers went on a 18-8 run to take an eight-point lead and eventually pulled out the victory, 75-71.
As O'Neil pointed out, McCaffery has a known temper. Many will remember his best impression of Bobby Knight in a blowout loss against Michigan State two years ago:
If he didn't have it already, McCaffery is quickly garnering the reputation as one of the biggest hothead coaches in America.

"Right now we are in the unhealthy range," said The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality Manager Amber Rand.
Folks in the LC Valley only have to step outside to notice how bad the air quality in our region is. Rand said we're experiencing a lot of smoke for several reasons.
"Several wildfires in the region, mostly to the South and Southeast of us," said Rand. "The air is kind of blowing into the region, and impacting the valley locations as well as the prairie."
The average index value in the Valley over the last 24 hours is calculated at 138. This means we're sitting at an unhealthy range of smoke.
"Things are just kind of settling down, and we're seeing elevated particulate concentration," said Rand.
For some groups, particularly the elderly, young children and those with pre-existing health conditions should be very cautious when going outside.
"At this point it could be hazardous for all people, so definitely reduce your outdoor exposure to the smoke," said Rand.
Dr. Luke Pluto at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center mirrors what Rand said, advising everyone to limit outdoor activity.
"It can be irritating to anyone with respiratory conditions at all," said Pluto. "The smoke is irritating to the bronchial tube, to the sinuses, to the eyes and so they just need to stay indoors."
"We have another high pressure system coming in by late Sunday, early Monday so we're going to see the conditions persist throughout the beginning of next week possibly throughout next week," said Rand.
It's important to face away from the sun as well to avoid hurting your eyes.
If you'd like more information on the air quality conditions, go to www.DEQ.ID.gov

December 17, 2007
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
After some big time renovations in September 2007, Grace Bay Club has emerged as one of the finest resorts on the scene in the hopping destination of Turks and Caicos. What's new in terms of luxury amenities? Anani Spa Tents (manicures, pedicures and massage therapy just steps from the lapping sea), 100 chic new day beds (think chilled sorbet, fresh fruit and traditional beach service by the pool), a kid's treehouse, chic new beachfront interiors at the celebrated gourmet eatery Anancaona, and as reported in the NYT this weekend, the Infiniti Bar, the Caribbean's longest. Stretching 90 feet across the Grace Bay Club beach, the bar is constructed of black marble, creating the illusion that the entire structure is floating above the sand and extending indefinitely into the Caribbean Sea. Dine under shaded umbrellas with the waves at your feet. Inside, baccarat black glass chandeliers decorate the ceiling and the walls glow in blue and gold Bisazza glass tiles.

New Luxury Travel Destinations
December 5, 2007
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
A recent article in the Washington Post describes the "destination fatigue-- been there, done that, paid a big bill"-- that affects a growing number of high-end travelers. When you've vacationed in Patagonia, the BVI, and the Greek Islands, and cruised the Nile and Yangtze rivers, what's next? The answer is remote, off-the-map destinations that once only appealed to backpackers. The newest hotspots are places like Bhutan, where Amanresorts has opened a string of luxury lodges that allow travelers to discover this incredible Himalayan kingdom without having to rough it. We'd count China's Yunnan province on the list, as well as luxury safaris in Africa, and hotels in northern India. What's your next luxury travel destination?

But here's a deal that could turn those day-dreams into reality: the deliciously luxurious Four Seasons Resort on the Caribbean island of Nevis is offering a resort credit to guests who choose to head south between now and December 14, 2007. Lucky guests will get $100 a night, which they can use at the restaurants, island golf, or award-winning spa. You'll also get a complimentary upgrade, based upon availability.

St. Kitts Goes Classy: New Hotels by Auberge Resorts and Mandarin Oriental
October 30, 2007
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
Just across from the isle of Nevis in the lower Caribbean, St. Kitts hasn't defined its own tourism niche the way neighboring Nevis has lured well-heeled travelers. Until now, anyway. There's a new high-end development in store, and it promises to dazzle. Christophe Harbour, the 2,500-acre development, will boast luxury hotels from Mandarin Oriental and Auberge Resorts. And if Auberge's new Sandy Bank Bay is any bit as exceptional as its other properties (Auberge du Soleil, Esperanza, The Inn at Palmetto Bluff), we're in for a treat. Situated on a peninsula, the resort site features seven miles of sandy coastline facing both the turquoise Caribbean and the Atlantic Ocean. There will also be a spa and a Tom Fazio-designed golf course. Auberge's resort is slated for 2009, with the Mandarin Oriental following in 2010.

Stop political war nonsenseJune 11,2014As a veteran my view in regards to Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is this. If the evidence shows he deserted, then try him for it and let him take the punishment. Be happy for his family, because he is out of the hands of the Taliban. Let us stop this Republican-Democrat-liberal-conservative nonsense.
Congress deserted this country a long time ago. They keep getting re-elected. Bush and Cheney lied about WMD and got over 5,000 Americans killed and over 40,000 wounded. Where is the indignation and public outcry? Two guys who escaped Vietnam, one because of Daddy and one because of deferments, send thousands of men and women to their deaths, but because theyre politicians, its honorable, even patriotic.
As a veteran, all of this disgusts me. Especially when so many who weigh in on it have never, unlike Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, even worn a uniform.
Sadly, most Americans seem to have allowed Washington and the media to convince them that anyone who wears an American uniform is a hero. Sorry to burst this bit of propaganda, but not all of us who wore the uniform or wear the uniform today are heroes, nor do we wish to be thought of in that manner. That is a little to much for anyone to carry.
Fear is a human trait, and we have all felt it and will likely feel it again; some deal with that fear better than others. Perhaps a reading of the Red Badge of Courage is in order for all Americans.

Just a quick note: This theatre was a 70mm equipped theatre from the start designed around U.A.'s proprietary D-150 process. I visited the booth prior to opening to see a friend of mine who was the RCA engineer assigned to the theatre and the Norelco DP-75's were just being installed.
I clicked on the picture of the Globe this morning and realized I had worked there as a relief projectionist for a week or two in it's porno days. The business agent of our local needed someone to work and actually picked me up off a picket line (in front of another porno theatre in Manhattan) and drove me to the Globe. I was hesitant to take the job since I had never officially worked in the Bronx, but was assured it "was a nice Jewish neighborhood." It was, but getting there on the subway through the South Bronx was like going through Dresden after the firebombing during WWII. As with most porno theatres I was paid cash when I started. The booth still had carbon arc lamps and was equipped as were most neighborhood theatres in those days with Simplex X-Ls and Peerless lamps. I did go down to the auditorium one day when I arrived early and it was being cleaned. The exit doors were open admitting light and the auditorium was typical of the "nabes" of it's time. I'd almost forgotten I worked there until I saw the picture above.
We did extensive research on xenon lamphouses when we converted from carbon arc in the mid '70's. At one point we had a different lamphouse on each machine. We picked the ORC's because the bulb was vertical pointing into a 45 degree mirror. At the projection angle in the Hall a normal horizontal bulb would be burning way off axis. The vertical bulbs also had the advantage of darkening evenly around the top of the bulb as they aged which we felt would lessen the formation of a dark spot over the arc in an horizontal bulb which would absorb more heat and increase the risk of explosion. We kept the horizontal lamps on the two end machines since these machines were used for "film effects" and we needed the flexibility to point them over a wide range on stage (and to reposition them for the triptych in "Napoleon". The ORC consoles (one of which was actually a prototype) gave us relatively little trouble from the time they were installed around 1975 until the time I left 1999.
Speaking of which, did anyone here see the premiere of "BvS" last night at the Hall presented in DolbyVision laser projection and Dolby "Atmos" sound? The picture was presented on a 70' screen and from a couple of local comments both it and the sound were spectacular.
I worked here as relief projectionist for a couple of weeks before it was twinned in 1978. It was kind of unusual in that the theatre started on the 2nd floor of the building with the screen at the south end and the booth at the 42nd St. end. They had probably cut the 3rd floor in half crosswise to make a balcony which was ramped up to the top at 42nd St. The booth occupied the space just behind the last rows. There was a ladder going up the wall in the booth to the roof, and I remember one snowy winter evening climbing the ladder and opening the roof hatch to see how much snow was falling as I wouldn't be getting out until 2 A.M. or so.
The aisle went up to the back wall and actually split the booth structure into two sections. One was the booth itself and across the aisle was the room containing the rectifiers for the xenon lamps.
There were three machines in the booth, the third crammed almost against the west wall. It was added after the theatre opened to give it the redundancy the other theatres on 42nd St. had. It was so close to the wall there was no viewing port, and the controls were on the other side of the projector near the controls for the #2 machine. As I recall there was a small seat and the only other seat was the toilet itself which fortunately had a seat with a lid!
So much pot was smoked that the regular projectionist had sealed the ports up with masking tape around the edges to avoid getting a contact high. I don't believe it was a Norman Adie theatre, but was owned by a man named Clark. Later when they added the 2nd screen in the building next door, I heard they knocked a hole in the wall next to the #3 machine and the operator had to walk on a catwalk that extended outside and into the booth next door. It was an "interesting" operation.
Actually we did that on a few occasions. MGM wanted to premiere "The Wind and the Lion" there in 70mm, and as a warm up we did "Dr. Zhivago", "Gone With The Wind" and "200l" in 70mm and the above mentioned "Singing In The Rain" all with the same (shortened) stage show. "Fantasia" was another re-issue as was "1776" which had played there in it's original release. "The Sting" was another re-issue as mentioned above.
Even so, the re-issues were better than most of the first run films we played in those day. ("Matilda" anyone?) Universal was the only company that really tried to help us, actually four-walling the theatre for the run of "The Sting", "Smokey and the Bandit" and "MacArthur". They also picked up "Caravans", the last movie we played in the movie/stage show format, so we'd have a Christmas attraction that year. As vindanpar points out above, those were pretty bleak days for the Hall.
It did, but I'll have to look up the date. We played it in 70mm and on one performance the operators skipped from reel 5 to reel 8 without running 6 and 7. I was relatively new at the time and had to write a letter to the Business Agent registering management's displeasure. That did cause the run to stick in my mind.
As an alternative: How about Dolby taking over the Zieg as it did the former Kodak theatre in Los Angeles? The Dolby New York offices and two screening rooms are right across the Avenue of the Americas from the Ziegfeld, and it would be a nifty site for both a Dolby Atmos installation and the Dolby Vision projectors which use laser illumination.
In answer to BobbyS' questions: ToddAO was Mike Todd's answer to Cinerama. He'd been in volved with Cinerama and wanted a process to emulate it with the picture "coming out of one hole" as opposed to the three projectors required for Cinerama at the time. The process was named after him and the American Optical company which developed the 70mm process for him. "Around The World In 80 Days" was his signature picture in the process. In a sense it combined the wide screen of CinemaScope with the sharpness of VistaVision which used two frames of 35mm moving horizontally through the camera to provide a larger negative.
Coming from Illinois I saw quite a few 70mm presentations at the Michael Todd, and I suspect the Capitol's screen was much larger. The Michael Todd was converted from a legitimate theatre (either the Selwyn or the Harris I can't remember which was which since they were both taken over by Todd and were side by side – the other house was the Cinestage after Todd took it over and was also 70mm equipped), therefore it wouldn't have been as large as the Capitol which was a true "movie palace". Nonetheless, the screen had great impact because it was proportioned to fit the house just as the Capitol's was.
Bill: I remember that storm well. I alternated doing relief work at two theatres close to Radio City, The New York Experience and the Ziegfeld. The operator at the Experience asked if I could open or him the day after the storm, but then decided to stay in the city. I was expecting to stay inside when I got a call from the opeator at the Ziegfeld saying his car was stuck in a drift. I kept a set of Ziegfeld keys in my apartment and took off for the theatre just a few blocks away. I remember thinking there would be no one there after such a big storm, but was surprised when I got to the theatre and found the line for the opening show extending around the block. They had plowed the sidewalk, but the snow was piled so high you could just see the tops of people's heads above the pile. I stayed there until closing that night, and every show was sold out. Nothing gets between a New Yorker and thier movies!
Hate to be the dissenter,but having spent a lot of years in that booth at the Ziegfeld lifting double reels of 70mm onto projector spindles (and in one instance dropping a double reel of "Ghandi" on my foot as I was putting it on the rewind – I figure it was the first 20 years of Ghandi's life) I can't say that I'd miss that these days. While I'm still a working projectionist at 75, I really don't think I could lift those anymore (although we can still do 70mm in my booth, and I did try to get a screening of "The Master" 70mm print in here last year.)
technman707This really belongs on the Music Hall page, but in response to your last comment: I was asked by the comptroller of Radio City to take a look at a theatre in the Bronx that was asking Rockefeller help in establishing a dance company. We rode up on the subway with the Rock Center lawyer and he was talking about the public hearing for Radio City. Some woman in the audience said, "You destroyed the Roxy and you destroyed the Center Theatre and now you want to destroy the Hall." To which he replied, "Well two out of three isn't bad!"
Actually,the marquee was put up for the Mark I-II-III incarnation. When they triplexed the theatre, they also chopped up the lobby to add storefronts. The entrance under the marquee led directly to the downstairs house, and to the right was the staircase leading up to the upper lobby and the two upstairs screens. The rest of what had been a lavish lobby was cut off from the theatre by the stores.The marquee for the DeMille was removed and that small triangular marquee replaced it.
I think the porn people did the triplexing and added the storefronts. I met the contractor a few times and think he had also done work for the operators in other houses they had.
techman707: there was a great deal of attention to the Radio City situation. I had just come back from vacation to pick up the Daily News the next morning and see the huge headline that Radio City was closing. Later that day Alton Marshall the president of Rockefeller Center called all of us to a meetin in the large rehearsal hall to tell us about the closure. The Rockettes made headlines by picketing out in front of the theatre in costume in January. There were also public meetings to protest the closure. Today the Rockettes are largely given credit for saving the Hall, although a friend of mine who was a vice president at the Hall had lunch with Marshall a few years later and was told that they really didn't want to close the Hall, but had to shake loose from the movie/stage show policy. A deal was made with the state to help save the Hall and it was announced from the stage on what was to be the closing night that it would be saved.
Bigjoe59: Mark I-II-II did appear on the marquee very briefly before Peter Elson took over. I can't remember the name of the operators, but I was told they had some other porn houses in the city. When Peter took over he changed the name to Embassy I-II-II. He had a thing for calling his theatres "Embassy" after the original one (now a city tourist center)which he also operated.
It was an "almost" adult theatre when it was the Mark I, II, III. Because of the city's restrictions it never did actually run porn.That was when the contractor added the runway into the house which was taken out before it was ever used. It was after Clark, whom techman707 refers to, and before Elson. It was also when they added the two screens in the balcony. Since porn was primarily 1.33:1 aspect ratio, the space between the two balcony screens used as a light path for the second projector to shoot to the screen was pretty narrow. I remember standing on the stage with the man doing the projection work, and walking across looking up at the balcony to see how far we could go before the projection port was cut off by the walls of the two upstairs screens. They could get a pretty reasonable 1.85:1 image but that was about it. Later Elson ran a 70mm print, but alas the big 70mm roadshow image was constricted to the 1.85 size by the upper walls. I would say the planned adult theatre would have been around 1976. They actually used a 16mm projector which would have shown porn, as a feature projector in one of the upstairs screens when it was the Mark,although by the time I worked there in the Elson years all three of the Cinemeccanica Vic X's were back in use.
The house was completly remodeled after it's run as a burlesque house and didn't really have a stage or fly space. I was there when it was being triplexed and it was planned to do xxx movies with strippers in the downstairs house. The contractor built a small stage with a runway into the house as well as added dressing room space for the strippers, but it wouldn't have been large enough to do any kind of theatrical production. The city put a stop to the xxx policy on the grounds that there were already enough porn houses in the city, and the theatre reverted to showing movies.
According to IMDb "The Great Race" was a Panavision blow-up to 70mm. As rcd55b points out there was only one aperture plate cut for most 70mm presentation, but there were a variety of aspect ratios in the 70mm format. 1:85:1 blow-ups (Days of Heaven, Roger Rabbit, etc.) were "hard-matted" by the labs to fit into the 2.21:1 70mm projected frame. In the case of the Music Hall where we had a downward angle we covered the keystone by adjusting the masking rather than cut a new plate as we would have for 35mm.
We also had an interesting test reel from "Ben-Hur" which was shot in "Camera 65" MGM's proprietary 70mm process. The image had a slight anamorphic squeeze resulting in an aspect ratio of 2.76:1. (Without the custom anamorphic lens Heston and the cast looked as if they'd dropped a few pounds.)
One other note: Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master" was shot on 65mm film, which may have created some complications as 65mm cameras were also designed to shoot full-frame images. Anderson wanted 1.85 as an aspect ratio, and in most cases the lab would just hard matte the printed image, but for some reason, the image on the film was wider than 1.85 but less than 2.21:1, thus exposing things the director didn't want seen at the edges of the picture (with 35mm if you pull the 1.85 plate in the projector you're liable to see microphone booms and lights at the top of the set if the image hasn't been hard-matted.) Thus theatres that ran "The Master" had to cut new 70mm plates. We wanted to do it my room, but no one makes 70mm parts which would have required going to a machine shop to get the plates cut. Just one more complication for anyone wanting to make a 70mm picture today.
David, I'm not sure about "The Great Race". I saw it in70mm in Illinois and it had an intermission, but the Hall didn't install 70mm until 1970, and given their reluctance to deviate from the stanard stage show/movie policy, I doubt it.
We did do three films with intermissions when I started there in 1974. They were re-issues of what MGM called the "Fabulous Four" which included "2001", "Dr. Zhivago" and "Gone With The Wind". We substituted "Singing In the Rain" for "Ryan's Daughter". I had come from theatres in Illinois which ran shows in the roadshow format, so I recall several discussions about how to do it at the Hall. The three we did were all in 70mm and designed to lead up to the 70mm presentation of "The Wind and The Lion". Overtures were a little tricky. We wanted to precede the first show of the day of "The Slipper & The Rose" in 1976 with the supplied overture, although there wasn't time for it in later screenings in a day. The projection crew agreed to play the overture even though it would have meant starting before the offical shift start time, but the musician's union wouldn't allow it unless we did it for every show, since it would look like we were substituting "canned" music for the live organist who didn't play before the first feature. With the roadshows, I think we did get the overtures in, and we played the entr'acte music before the 2nd half. (We were able to convince management that it was "call-in" music and the organist shouldn't play during that break.) We also did the 50th Anniversary presentation of "Gone With The Wind" with intermision music, but lost the battle over the organist who played before the intermission music started on film.
As far as I know those were the only times during the movie/stage show policy that an intermission was done. My predecessor didn't want 70mm in the Hall, and used the fact that most 70mm pictures at that time had intermissions and were too long for the movie/stage format. He lost the fight when the house was four-walled for "Airport" and Ross Hunter insisted on 70mm. It was short enough that it didn't require an intermission.
Stephen, thanks for posting the ads for the 1964-5 season at the Hall. The "Mary Poppins" ad has particular signifcance for me as I was in New York for the first time on my own after getting out of college and had come to attend a convention of the Society of Motion-picture and Television Engineers. I wrote to the Ben Olevsky, Head Projectioist at the Hall to ask if I could see the booth during my visit and got an invitation from Ben to call him. On my first night before I had a chance to call I stumbled on the Hall and bought a ticket to see "Mary Poppins". A few days later Ben gave me an extensive tour of not only the booth but the whole facility. I was awed to actually be able to walk into the booth that I had been curious about for so long.
It was almost exactly ten years later I was again awed to walk into that booth — this time as the newly hired Head Projectionist. The "Poppins" ad brings back a lot of memories as it marked the start of something that continued for 35 years.
Actually, there's plenty of clearance for projection from the back of the house even if the booth were a few feet above the back row of seats. While the view may be exaggerated, that's still pretty small screen, and at the point where the projector beam crosses under the chandelier the size of the image would be very small, possibly less than a foot square. At the halfway point in the auditorium the picture would be only one-quarter the size it would be when it got to the screen. Further clearance would also have been gained by having each of the two projectors off the center line of the auditorium where the chandelier is hung. In addition, both machines would be shooting at a slight downward angle which would add more clearance.
There's a comment by rjcambell in 2006 that clarifies this discussion. The second screen was a roof top theatre. When I first came to New York I went to a lot of the $1.00 sub-run houses and ths was one. A friend of mine who was head of service for RKO theatres and then an independent contractor told me that this house "bicycled" the print when the roof top theatre was open, pulling the reels from the lower booth to the upper booth with a rope. He also mentioned a time when the two operators didn't get along and one of them deliberately waited until the last minute to lower or raise the reels to the other booth. I came here in 1974, so never got to attend a screening in the upper theatre, but thought it looked pretty neat with the big windows that caught the air off the ocean for cooling. While someone on this site does mention an outside staircase, I would think the inner staircase at one point did lead to the roof theatre.
Thanks Vito. I always enjoy reading yours as well. The topic of Dolby at Radio City is of special interest to me. As a matter of "full disclosure" I should mention that when I left Radio City it was to go to work for Dolby Laboratories in their first New York screening room where I still put in a 40 hour week. In a sense I've been involved with Dolby in one way or another for about 40 years now, so I remember all of the years Vito refers to vividly. (Actually, longer than that, since as student working for my University TV station, I got a chance to run the Ampex 1000 videotape machine which was given to educational stations as a way to distribute programming before satellites were available. It was the first succesful broadcast videotape recorder, and one of the engineers who designed it was a young man named Ray Dolby.)
I met Ioan Allen (who really got Dolby involved in cinema) on his first trip to New York to promote Dolby technolgy to dealer technicians from the Eastern half of the country in 1974. Later two of the projectionists who were on the crew at Radio City became Dolby employees, one as a Vice President and the other as a head techncian in the Dolby NY office. Through them I met Ray Dolby, and gave him and his son tours of Radio City.
That is the reason I'm posting this. There was only one company in the country that I would leave my "dream job" at Radio City for and it was Dolby. Ray Dolby's death last week really saddened us all. He was a quiet, self-effacing man who accomplished something even 20th Century Fox couldn't achieve with their 4-track magnetic CinemaScope stereo — he made movie stereo a practical technology for theatres everywhere. Vito mentioned the problem of dual inventory optical prints when Dolby started, but that was nothing compared to the problems that arose from having mag track prints sent to theatres which couldn't play them and optical prints sent to theatres that had full stereo capability. Ray and Ioan came up with a track that could be played on any optical reproducer. It might not sound as good running as undecoded Dolby A noise reduction — but it would play. In addition, by employing the stereo matrrix it was possible to achieve a pretty good stereo surround experience from the two optical mono tracks used in the RCA 35mm system. Once you did that, you also had the capability to have a left, center, right, surround experience from any two track stereo source which could include VHS tapes, laserdiscs and broadcast TV. It was inevitable that movie sound would go multi-channel someday, but Dolby's contribution brought the revolution about earlier than anyone else could.
I think working here during Ray's involvement with the company can only be compared to working for Disney when Walt was alive. I can remember sitting in a staff meeting in our screening room when we heard a quiet, "May I come in?" It was Ray who had come in unannounced, and then enchanted us all with stories about the early days of the company.
I hope you'll forgive me for rambling on, but I did want a great man — and nice guy — remembered on this site.
Re: Radio City and Dolby Stereo. Radio City was actually an experimental site for Dolby cinema sound as far back as 1974 when I started there as Head Projectionist. Repesentatives from the Dolby N.Y. office were looking for a large theatre to try out Dolby encoded 35mm soundtracks and Radio City is a "large" theatre! At that time there was only Dolby mono encoding featuring 2 units, one which decoded Dolby Type "A" optical tracks and one which provided 3rd Octave equalization to "tune" the room. The first Dolby encoded stereo film we played was "The Little Prince" which was the 1974 Christma feature. There were no stereo optical tracks at that time, but we had a 3 track magnetic print with Dolby A encoding.
We added three more units to play back 6 track 70mm magnetic tracks, primarily for the 3rd octave equalizaation capabilities.
We added a Dolby CP-100 processor for a picture that preceeded "Star Wars" since Fox wanted to try out stereo optical prints before they released "Star Wars". The picture was a dud, but the equipment stayed.We never paid for it, but felt we were justified in keeping it since we did provide a crew for testing when Dolby needed it.
We finally ended up buying a complete Dolby installation (with Disney's help) for the premiere of "The Lion King" which involved a complete re-do of the motion-picture sound system and the inclusion of on the wall surround speakers. "Lion King" only required three stage channels snce it was 1.85 aspect ratio, but we later added two more stage channels so we could play "classic" 70mm prints which had 5 channels behind the screen and a mono surround channel. We also needed the extra channels because our 35mm 1.85 picture is smaller than our 70mm 1.85 picture and the screen masking was not acoustically transparent. We also added more surround speakers at that time.
Since then the Hall has added a Dolby SA-10 unit which splits the surround array into left, center and right groups for use in the stage show mix.
The recent obit of Ray Dolby in the New York Times features a picture of him in the Music Hall booth looking at a soundrack on a piece of 35mm film That picture was taken during the premiere engagement of "The Lion King" one of the few times when we used platters at the Hall, with the 70mm picture locked to a 35mm print for Dolby Digital sound.
Since those snipes are so fondly remembered I thought I'd add a couple of comments about how they were produced. When I was a student at the U. of Ill. my film class visited Filmack in Chicago as it came as close to a "movie studio" as anything we had out there at the time.
The black and white snipes always featured white letters superimposed over an art background which could be a theatre auditorium, or as in the case of Radio City's snipes just a pattern. In reality,they were black letters on a white card, with the "background" art in negative on a glass plate in a frame that closed over the card. To do an angled "wipe" another white card was put over the lettered card, and the camera operator slowly pulled it out of the bottom of the frame revealing the lettering. Since the snipe was actually the camera negative, everything was reversed and the foreground art became the background with the now white lettering on top. There were plates containing artwork as well as photos of feature's one-sheets in a cart next to the camera and the operator could just select the one he needed as per the order. Filmack also had an extesive printing operation which contained type in hundereds of fonts to print the cards. (They also owned one of two Oxberry animation stands in Chicago at the time. The other owned by Sears.) While my teacher who had been a cinematographer in L.A. wasn't impressed, I thought it was a remarkably cheap and easy way to create what looked like a fully animated clip.
A lot of the color ads with still images from local merchants were done at Alexander Films in Colorado. They had touring salesmen who would come into town, sell the spot, take the slides and then arrange for them to be shown in the theatre. Not as technically proficient as the digital clips used pre-show today, but not bad for their time.
We did run some trailers when I was at the Hall, and I found a trailer for "Cowboys" which played before I worked there, in the film cabinet. (I remember that one because there was a question about light levels on "Harry and Walter Go To New York" and I spliced the normal density "Cowboys" Tr. to one of their reels to show that it was a film problem, not a light problem with our projectors.)
We also ran the trailer for "That's Entertainment" with the thought that we were going to get the picture which MGM ultimately gave to the Ziegfeld.
The snipes you refer to which promoted special shows at individual theatres were common in the industry. In Illinois the Filmack Company turned them out quickly and cheaply and I have a whole reel of them I saved from a theatre I worked in out there. The Hall used them as noted to not only promote the upcoming feature, but also plug the stage show that accompanyed it. While cheaply made (image you saw projected was actually the camera negative so there was no print cost)the personalized snipes added a touch of class and individuality to a promotional presentation.

Skip to comments.Netflix 'Instant' heads up: 'Angel' now streamimg!
Posted on 06/08/2011 11:14:50 AM PDT by DGHoodini
I've read here on FR, that there are fans of this show, so I thought I'd give a heads up that Netflix now has seasons 1 through 5 up for streaming.
Any opinions of the show would be of interest to me..should I bother or does 5the show ctash and burn at some point?
NetFlix had better beef up it's inventory soon or I am dumping them
There sre too many times I've searched for something I know I can easily find on other sites and cannot find on Netflix
If they have it on DVD (available) why is it not on streaming?
Streaming rights are very expensive.
Great show. Season 5 wasnt too bad as far as show endings go. Season 5 had some really good stand alone episodes. I have all of the DVDs and I never watch Season 1 anymore. In my opinion it starts getting really good during season 2. It jumps the shark for a little bitcant tell you why or I will spoil it. Then it redeems itself. Enjoy!
I have not heard of this show. (I spend far too much time on FR) Can you give me an idea of what the show is about?
They've had Buffy and Angel on stream for a long time. Season 1 of Angel is a little rough as they were figuring out what the plot should be, but with season 2 they got it up to Buffy form.
It's a spinoff from Buffy The Vampire Slayer, mostly follows the same pattern of slaying monsters with a mild plot tying it all together, but a bit darker than Buffy. If you're interested start with Buffy (ignore the movie, it stinks and completely missed the point of the script), if you like it and stick with it long enough for the character of Angel to leave you can start watching Angel in parallel. If you don't like it no biggie, Joss is an acquired taste.
I'm ready to dumop them also but not for that. They take a week to credit me when I send in a movie. I got 4 last Tuesday and sent one back Monday this week and still no credit.
I sent another back Tuesday. They have a warehouse in Memphis so it only takes a day. I have had to go report all of them lost for the last month just to get another m ovie and this crap has been going on now for the past 4 months.
If it doesn't get fixed by July, I am done with them. I used to brag on them but they flat out suck now. I am not sending mine back the next day so I don't know why they are throttling me.
The TNT network still runs Angel early in the AM and has been for years.
Might be something going wrong with your post office. Most places I drop my Netflix they're credited the next day, there's a couple spots I use where it'll be two or three minimum.
A vampire. He fights crime.
Oh and Hot chicks with superpowers
(But you have to wait a bit)
Also, it's a Joe Sweden show, the dialogue is the best. Recall Barry's final speech in Bladerunner. This show does one that will remind you of that (but it's better)
Its not the post office, its Netflix. They are deliberately not crediting my account for days.
Why would they pick on you? I've been with netflix since close to the beginning, I've been throttled, I've been not. In my experience if there's repeated long delays when I haven't "earned" throttling the problem is with the delivery part, usually a bad postal worker, usually a temp person covering vacation. Irregular delays usually track to using a particular box. In theory there could be something going wrong at the Memphis netflix office, but that seems kind of unlikely, netflix is notoriously ready to fire people for under performing.
I cut back from 6 at a time to 4 at a time is when this started. It literally started the next week.
I am sick of it. I have mailed them at the post office and I have mailed them from home. The result is the same. No credit for a week after mailing.
It seems strange that I get a notice the day AFTER I report them missing that they received them EVERY SINGLE TIME.
I have been with Netflix for over 3 years and this is most definitely them doing this. It is not the post office. Like I said, when July comes, if it is still going on then, I will cancel.
I've been 3 at a time for almost 10 years and never went through what you're dealing with. I'm just not buying that they've decided to ultra throttle you, what do they gain? The best they could hope for is eventually they lose all your money. Try a box at a different PO, especially if the PO you tried is the one that services your home. I'm betting it's the PO just because there's no logical reason for netflix to do it.
Angel is a famously bad vampire, reveling in pain an horror that he causes his victims, and then while wiping out a Gypsy camp for fun and giggles, he is cursed by a Gypsy, which returns his soul to him. With his soul back in him, he suddenly sees what he is, and the pain that he has caused, this breaks him and he spends a century living in the gutters and shadows, broken, feeding on rat blood and animal blood, and then he finds out that there is a larger struggle between good and evil, and that some non human creatures and demons serve good, so he becomes a vampire that fights the dark forces.
There is much nobility in the series. Mixed with the humor, and supernatural, is a strong warrior element, true self sacrifice, and the undeniable reality of an eternal, vicious, merciless, struggle between good and bad forces.
Angel is a pretty inspiring figure, not from costume (none) and stunts, but from his honesty and inner torment as he knows exactly every single evil deed and person that he fed on during his history of being not just vampire, but an especially wicked vampire. Angel does a great job of being the quiet, heroic, humble, tormented, leader.
Buy what you want. I have mailed from my house for 3 years and now this happens. It is Netflix.
I have mailed from 3 differnt post offices in adition to my house and results are all the same. Did you not see where I said past 4 months?
I don't know why, but whenever they say they are mailing one to me, it gets here in 1 day. Whenever I mail one back takes 5 or more days. Do the math, it ain't me and it ain't the post office.
It's actually the 4 months thing that makes me convinced it's the PO not netflix. I believe in Okham's Razor with religious fervor and the simplest explanation is the PO. For it to be Netflix they'd have had to decide to punish you for still spending more than the average 3 a day customer, they'd have had to do that by making a note in your account so that everybody handling your disks would know to slow you down, said note would be subpoena-able if you decided to take action alone or in class, such data would be a huge PR hit not to mention the cost of the suit that they'd clearly lose.
Or your PO sucks.
One of these answers is simpler than the other.
Since I have mailed them at THREE different post offices which you have yet to acknowledge, it is NOT that.
Also, just checked my account and still none are credited. I will report them all lost AGAIN tonight.
Could be something hitting all your local POs. Maybe they've made a change in how they handle the stuff to Netflix. Again it just doesn't make sense for Netflix to do what they'd have to do to "punish" you like you're thinking, they gain nothing and open themselves up to costly lawsuits. It doesn't add up.
Well Oscam's Razor would seem to narrow it down to Netflix and not every post office in Memphis. If they can deliver it to my house in one day, then I am sure it works the other way around.
I will cancel June 23, when my renewal come up. You have convinced me not to wait to July. I hate it since they used to be a great resource, but now they suck for me.
Except for Netflix to do it they'd have to do things that leave a paper trail that will get them in trouble if somebody decides to sue. Where as the PO would just have to have the person in charge of your region decide on a new procedure (like storing up netflix envelops until they make a full tray just as an idea) that probably makes their life easier but sucks for you. This wouldn't effect outbound from netflix because like all bulk mailers netflix brings their stuff in area code sorted trays already. Because they are a bulk mailer and you aren't the paths the mail takes are actually vastly different so one day out and four back could easily happen if the PO decides to do something annoying to none bulk mail headed to a specific location.
That makes no sense. It is Netflix. Why keep making excuses for the company. I am sure it doesn't take a week to get a full tray (LOL).
It makes plenty of sense. Remember the PO is going broke, they're looking for all kinds of ways to reduce costs, and they're incompetent. You said 4 days, who knows how many people in the area are chucking in the netflix in 1 PO. And remember that was just a stab, admittedly a stab that involved something I've seen the PO do before to companies getting large quantities of inbound mail. It's not excuses, it's showing that there's simply no reason for them to be persecuting you. You're assuming it's some sort of personal vendetta, I always remember what ass-u-me means, and reality has shown me that most of us are far too insignificant for anybody to be actually out to get us and most vendettas only exist in the head of the "persecuted". I think you're having a spot of postal bad luck and if you checked around you'd find you're not alone and netflix might even be aware of it and trying to fix it. But if you want to be persecuted go ahead, needlessly add to your life stress, whatever.
Of course, I think Firefly was the best Whedon show ever.
You must work for Netflix with all the excuses you make for them. No one else I mail to has this problem. I do not have this problem with mail coming to me from netflix or anyone else.
Been a customer for years and it did not start till I cut back from 6 at a time to 4 at a time, then started then immediately. How many coincidences do you believe in?
It is plainly obvious, who is the problem but feel free to defend them if you wish. I will be an ex-customer come Jun 23. And you are right about the stress, I won't have any more from netflix starting Jun 24.
Yeah I hate the other witch, just a terrible actress, always looks like somebody just kicked her dog. But by and large good shows.
Nope, I'm in fax software. I just think that in this day and age, just 2 weeks after a big report came out saying that the PO's cost cutting measures not only don't cut costs but do reduce the quality of service assuming that it MUST be netflix risking getting their ass kicked in court again is a dumb assumption.
It isn't plainly obvious at all. Again why would they risk getting sued to punish you for reducing how much less than their average customer you're paying? What do they stand to gain by persecuting you? See if it was plainly obvious you'd have answered that question already. Instead you're attacking me, if it was plainly obvious you wouldn't have to turn to the logical fallacy of poisoning the well. What is plainly obvious is that things are more complicated than you're willing to admit and sometimes feces really does just occur.
Good humor, good characters (even as a dyke Willow is cool, needed better taste in girls), good stories. One of the hallmarks I think was Joss always wanted them to try harder. I'm thinking specifically of the episode Hush, after hearing so much praise for the great dialog and how that's why the show is great Joss decides they should do an episode with basically no dialog, and they wind up with probably the best episode of the season one of the best of the show. Taking praise as a challenge is a good trait, and it allowed the shows to constantly grow.
Was Hush the one with those creepy looking guys that glided everywhere?
Yep. Great episode.

Sense about Science ? equipping people to make sense of science and evidence
News and Comment
New Sense About Science Chair announced
25 April 2012
This year Sense About celebrates its 10 year anniversary. This also marks the end of Lord Taverne's Chairmanship of Sense About Science. We said farewell to Dick at our Annual Lecture on 23rd April, and are delighted that Dick and Janice Taverne have agreed to become Patrons of Sense About Science.
We are very pleased to announce that our new Chair will be Professor Paul Hardaker. Paul is Chief Executive of the Royal Meteorological Society and holds a visiting professorship at the University of Reading. He first worked with Sense About Science on Making Sense of Weather and Climate, was subsequently invited to join our Advisory Council, and has been a Trustee of Sense About Science since 2009.
A few words from Professor Hardaker
"It is hard to believe that Sense About Science is 10 this year. In that time we have helped thousands of people to make sense of the science behind issues that matter in today's society. We have raised expectations of evidence in public life. We have become a trusted source of information, a respected enemy of misinformation and a champion of research and evidence against suppression. Sense About Science has one of the country's largest networks of early-career researchers (Voice of Young Science) and one of the most diverse and inclusive networks of partners. We are now working with organisations in other countries to help them to develop their own versions of what we do."
"But we are not complacent. We know that paying attention to the evidence remains 'a nice idea' in some quarters. Many of the important issues before us suffer from misleading claims and poor evidence. Though addressing that with small resources is tough, our aims are well served by a wide base of supporters who know the value of sound science and evidence to society."
"This value was at the heart of Lord Taverne's original motivations for establishing Sense About Science and it is a theme of the lecture which marks his departure. Dick Taverne argues that science not only promotes health and wealth, but is bound up with society being more democratic, tolerant and compassionate. That is as relevant today as it was 10 years ago and I am proud to follow him now as chair of Sense About Science to take it forward."
From Lord Taverne
In his lecture, Lord Taverne reflected on the past 10 years of Sense About Science:
"I founded Sense About Science in 2002 out of frustration with the misinformation, misrepresentation and basic lack of understanding of science that pervaded politics, much of the media, and public opinion. At the time most scientists were reluctant to take part in public discussion, let alone political debate. But we now have a list of over 5,000 scientists who are willing, often eager, to take part in public discussion and debate."
"Every time bogus science is pulled apart, it reveals how good science works. The Sense About Science leaflet I Don't Know What to Believe explained the importance of peer review. It has had a big impact, with over half a million downloads and wide distribution in schools. Our campaign 'Ask for Evidence' is growing in momentum and goes to the root of the scientific way of thinking. The Voice of Young Science, a movement of young research workers developed by our young staff, has stimulated other young scientists to promote good science. It has spread like wildfire and is now being copied in several other countries. It has been one of our most unexpected successes."
"Personally I have found working with our staff one of the most enjoyable episodes in my career - so far. It has been for a cause that Popper and Medawar have both, I think rightly, described as 'the greatest adventure of mankind'."

I was thinking about buying this, but I want for me and my brother to be able to play together. I thought that maybe if we bought the PS3 version, we could buy the PS2 version solely for the turntable, because they don't sell individual turntables yet. However, before I go out and spend the money, I wondered if the PS2 turntable would actually work with the PS3 system. I figured it would, because the Guitar Hero/Rock Band PS3 guitars work with the PS2. Right?
TigerOfPTS posted...Works. Got my two player trophy tonight.Also hooked my friends turntable up to mine to drool over the possibility of doubles.http://twitpic.com/o40rd----= www.twitter.com/tigerofpts=-
Alright, good to know.

Should I have my appendix removed?
Q: I have pain in the lower right side radiating down my right leg and right testicle. Can push on the appendix area some times painful but most times not when pushing on the area. Have seen Doctor many times and have very little faith. Some days are OK but most are pain days. There are many nights I get woke up from a dead sleep with sharp pains in the right side and sweating. I have had My gallbladder removed 2yrs ago now and thru months of wasting money on visits finally the believed it was the gallbladder the EF was 0.
A: It is possible that you might have appendicitis. The typical order of symptoms in appendicitis is abdominal pain on the periumbilical area (around the belly button) which later transfers to the lower right side of the abdomen. Other common signs and symptoms are nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and fever. Patients may only have some, not all, of these typical signs and symptoms. Appendicitis is a clinical diagnosis and is usually confirmed on examination by your doctor. However, having said that, I would recommend that you see your doctor and get an abdominal ultrasound, urinalysis, to rule out other causes of right sided abdominal pain such as kidney stones and diverticulitis.
