H.R. 4997 (ih), currently under review, proposes a requirement that all cinematic movie theaters replace standard xenon arc lamps with energy saving fluorescent bulbs or tubes and to retrofit the projectors with “kinetoscope” discs, rotated via electrical motors powered by photovoltaic cells, to allow frame-by-frame illumination. Films that previously employed the standard 24 frames per second shall be reduced to 8 to 16 frames per second in order to shorten the length of the illumination power requirements.

You gotta be kidding me. IF this is ture it would put motion picture technology back to the 1930′s (if not farther back).
Glenn Beck fans: please check out my post #33 in this thread at this blog.
Here’s another link about what I posted in #33-
Dozens Of Cars Towed At Glenn Beck Event
I’m mentioning this because people at other blogs who hate conservatives have suggested that more pranks like this be pulled at other Glenn Beck events.
That was one of those things that’s just goofy enough to be an actual bill.
But isn’t.
It’s sad that it’s getting so hard to tell the fake news from reality these days…

@ Escovado:
That bill (along with a half dozen specious others) were there when I put this post up as a draft. It also addressed theater lighting for playhouse spotlights. I don’t see it in the linked list anymore. I take that as a good omen.

It’s not just a middle eastern thing. It’s happened all over the world and it’s still happening now. The middle man sets up a deal between two parties who aren’t in contact with each other, or even despise each other, and the middleman takes a cut at the risk of being accused of price gouging. It’s called business.

Scary ass night, first we capture an NVA on our way to ambush site, ( he snuck into the ville for some boom boom and was making his way back to his unit) lol.
All we bagged was half a dozen NVA sashaying down the road, good thing too, if a larger NVA force came down that road we would have been cooked with no way to get relieved, they had to pound the area with arty the rest of the night just in case a large force was heading ouw way.

“Traffic police followed the car and almost caught up — at that time the blast hit,” Nurgaliyev said. He said the deadly cargo was headed for the center of Kizlyar. There was a school and law enforcement building nearby.
As investigators and residents gathered at the scene of the blast, a second bomber wearing a police uniform approached and set off explosives, killing the town’s police chief among others, Nurgaliyev said.

“Hackney Carriage”
The latest cab from LTI, the TX4-a reference to the FX4 that was launched in 1959-is powered by a Euro IV compliant twin overhead cam, common rail 2.5-liter turbo-diesel engine with twin balancer shafts. The engine is supplied by Italian VM Motori. The engine mapping has been configured to supply maximum torque at low speeds for quick acceleration and improved flexibility across a wide power band for optimum performance in traffic and on the open road, all with the lowest possible emissions and fuel consumption.

Thanks Ben, just checked out Wikipedia myself and they had a whole bunch of pictures. Actually though I think it may be a TX1. Here’s a the larger view of the Hack picture, and the picture from wikipedia.
