Excerpt from last Wednesday’s journal post:

If all circumstances play in my favor, then my next lift filming days will be May 25 and 26 (but not May 27). This will happen if I either get no homework for the weekend or I finish all my potential weekend homework on May 24, in addition to studying for any pre-planned tests for the week after and finishing all weekend project tasks on May 24. It will be a NO-STUDYING weekend for final exams. In order for it to happen, ALL of the following circumstances must apply:

Circumstance A: I must have FEWER THAN 2 pre-planned tests that are NO MORE than 50 POINTS EACH with a difficulty of no higher than 3 taking place the next week, in addition to having at most ONE project worth at most 100 points and with a difficulty of at most 3.

Circumstance B: I must have a 93.20 OR HIGHER (or an A in general) for at least four classes that I have CONSISTENTLY been scoring “A” marks on the report cards for the previous 3 marking periods in a row.

Circumstance C: I must currently be exempt from at least four final exams by that point as of that date, with at least TWO of those classes being graduation requirements.

Circumstance D: My worst grade as of that date for a graduation requirement must be a “B”.

Which circumstances have I achieved between last Wednesday and this Wednesday?

Between last week and now, I have achieved circumstances B, C and D. Circumstance A will be unknown until the weekend of May 24.

Am I in ship-shape to go lift filming?

As of now, I am in ship-shape, but I may not be by the time May 24 looms around.

The weekend of June 1

So far, it doesn’t look like I will be filming any lifts throughout that weekend.

And as for the likelihood of graduating, there is only a 50% chance of it happening and that’s only assuming the best case scenario. So as of right now, the final marking period report card will tell me if I have graduated from high school or not. I am hoping to receive a verdict on that between June 13 at 3:30 PM and June 17 at 6:45 AM. Y FRIRD? I have no idea.

Other plans

A countdown timer will be up on either one of the websites as well.

Why Schindler & KONE make the best traction lifts

Over the past 2 & a half years of filming lifts at different buildings all over the Eastern Seaboard, I have managed to film a handful of OTIS, Schindler, ThyssenKrupp & KONE traction lifts. Here is my assumption: Schindler & KONE make the best traction & MRL traction lifts of any of the 4 major lift brands. Of course, this could be based on personal bias, but it doesn’t go without knowledge that Schindler lifts, are in fact, more efficient time-based than let’s say, ThyssenKrupp lifts. Here are some things that I really love about Schindler & KONE traction lifts. Their fast acceleration / leveling It is no surprise that Schindler & KONE have some of the fastest average accelerating rates of any major lift brand. This is because Schindler & KONE have a perfect reference-tackle system, which is almost unbeatable by standards of other lift brands. One thing I have noticed when riding Schindler lifts is even at low speeds (200-400 FPM), you head feels like...

A QUICK ANALYSIS OF EACH OF THE LIFTS AT BRIDGEWATER MALL IN BRIDGEWATER TOWNSHIP

I do not have much time to elaborate on every single detail of the lifts at the Bridgewater Mall in Bridgewater Township, so I will try to narrow down my analyses as quick as possible. I have no time to include pictures as visuals either, so you’ll just have to refer to the attached YouTube video below. The Mall itself Bridgewater Commons Mall is a mall from the early 1980’s that has gone through quite a few renovations and expansions over the years. Inside the mall, the original anchors are Macy’s and Bloomingdales, which both have Westinghouse lifts, still fully original to the 1980’s construction project. The carpark was added in during the 1990’s and features the first lift I filmed which was the Dover glass hydraulic. Inside the mall, there is a food court on the third floor with three sets of escalators throughout the main part of the mall, with three more sets inside the multi-level stores (Bloomingdales, Macy’s, and Lord & Taylor). The majority of the escalators are Schin...

Paramus Lift Galore: June 2022

Written on behalf of the Rising Salamander Academy Lift Galore Date: June 17 Lift Galore Time: 5:00 PM EST It's been a long time since I've last filmed lifts in person, a whole whopping half a year to be exact. I'm excited to be back, but not for long, since I have to finish up my time at Kean University & focus on graduating on time. But for the mean time, let's enjoy our summer recess, film the best lifts we can film & make the most of it! Westinghouse Lift Where: Macy's, Garden State Plaza Time Filmed: 10:10 AM (June 10) Grade: B+ Speed to Height Ratio: 8.1:1 (Fast) Landings Served: 3 The first lift of this lift galore is a 1950's Westinghouse lift which was later modernised by a generic company between the 1980's & early 2000's with EPCO Flushline fixtures on the outside, EPCO Circleline fixtures on the inside. This lift has a speed to height ratio of 8.1:1 which makes it fast for the application & number of landings. This lift is loc...
