Author Topic: Handicap Parking Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 12-05-2005 02:28 PM                        I had Lunch the other day in New York at the Museum of Modern Art. [MOMA] There restroom's are like they have in France. The Men and Women go through the same door and they have floor to ceiling water closets. They both share a common area to wash and dry hand.  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-06-2005 12:30 AM                        quote: Bob Maar There restroom's are like they have in France. French "Squatter" toilet They should be standardized in ladies' public restrooms in the US, since the tank & bowl type fixtures are used by them in the "squatter" method anyway, creating the most godawful mess.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 12-06-2005 01:25 AM                        quote: Louis Bornwasser They wanted me to start a discussion on a second audio channel for "description" which I knew had no future, at least in the short term. We have audio description (supplied on a DTS / MOPIX disc ... along with rear window captioning) in two of our auditoria. If a person has our headset in one of these auditoria, s/he can select from two channels, one with the regular audio (like the standard "listening device" in most theatres ... well most that I've worked at anyway), or the other with the audio description.  |  IP: Logged Martin Brooks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 900 From: Forest Hills, NY, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 12-10-2005 05:21 PM                        I do have some problems with handicapped parking spaces. In most places I've seen, there are WAY more handicapped spaces than are ever needed. In New York, it's WAY too easy to get a handicapped sticker. A note from a doctor will get you one. I see tons of people at Jones Beach with handicapped stickers who have no problem walking (except laziness.) This, obviously, is not the fault of truly handicapped people, but of others who take advantage of the situation. I think it's a good idea for theaters to provide audio descriptions, especially if they're already providing headphones for hearing impaired people. I know if I lost my vision, I'd still want to go to the movies. Stating that this is "radio" is disingenuous -- there's virtually no radio drama or comedy to speak of, even on satellite radio.  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 12-18-2005 10:16 PM                        William, A squat to far back on that damn toilet woudl put someone in the hospital... How would that thing work for a gent? And I'm assuming that the photo shows only a 'pisser'? Open air dump... no thanks..  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 12-18-2005 10:42 PM                        William, A squat to far back on that damn toilet would put someone in the hospital...

We all heard you the 1st time! That pic that William posted is the "DELUXE" model that I have yet to see. Most of the crappers that I've come across in Taiwan and China only have a pipe in the floor to squat over and a short garden-type hose for "flushing".  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-19-2005 04:05 AM                        Phil's right, them's mighty uptown fixtures. Most Paris bar & restaurant bathrooms are thought-provoking.  |  IP: Logged Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-19-2005 09:33 AM                     Phil, Shit, I thought that hose was for washing your hands and ass after you were done. I'll give you a little advice, IF you ever point that hose over the stall next to you and then flush, have your pants pulled up and zipped. It makes it a hell of a lot easier to outrun a wet Chinese man!!! Rick  |  IP: Logged
