Change in lift filming plans for the semester

 At this point, we are two weeks into the semester & heading into our third week. Based upon my current workload from all my courses, I am sorry to say that I unfortunately will not be able to stick with the tentative lift filming plan I proposed last month. I apologize for the inconvenience. The January virtual showdown was moved to March 26 at 6:30 PM. 

OMICRON CASES ARE STARTING TO TREND DOWNWARD CONSISTENTLY THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY. HENCE, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT BY THE TIME THE SEMESTER ENDS I WILL BE IN A POSITION WHERE I CAN BE CONFIDENT TO RESUME IP LIFT FILMING AGAIN. ONLY EVIDENCE WILL TELL.

ADDITIONALLY, ALL SOLO OVERNIGHT LIFT FILMING PLANS HAVE BEEN SCRAPPED FOR THE ENTIRETY OF 2022 & WILL BE MOVED TO 2023. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE FLORIDA TRIP IN JULY 2023 WILL BE MOVED TO DECEMBER 2023 TO REDUCE THE RISK OF WASP OR HORNET ATTACKS & TO INCREASE THE TIME TO SECURE THE BUDGET REQUIRED TO SUSTAIN THE ENTIRE SPAN OF THE EXCURSION.

Tentative IP Lift Filming Plans for the summer:

  • May 20 - Quaker Bridge Mall
  • June 10 - Westfield Garden State Plaza & 747 New Jersey 17
  • July 15 (IF ATLANTIC CITY "SIS"): Secaucus & East Rutherford
  • July 22 (IF ATLANTIC CITY IS NOT "SIS"): Freehold Raceway Mall & random office buildings in Freehold
  • Tentative Atlantic City date: August 6-9: One of four options:
    • Ocean Resort Atlantic City
    • Harrah's Resort Atlantic City
    • Caesar's OR Bally's Atlantic City
    • WILDCARD (Any other hotel in Atlantic City with the exception of the Borgata)
  • Tentative Atlantic City backup date: August 11: Palisades Center Mall in West Nyack, NY OR Roosevelt Field in Garden City, NY (ONLY IF WE DO NOT GO TO ATLANTIC CITY OR WE DO GO TO ATLANTIC CITY BUT WE STAY AT THE BORGATA, OTHERWISE THIS TRIP WILL BE MOVED TO THE LAST FRIDAY OF OCTOBER OR THE FIRST FRIDAY OF NOVEMBER DEPENDING ON WHICH DAY THE LAST MIDTERM EXAM FOR THE SEMESTER TAKES PLACE)
  • September 2: Modern lift showdown - Kean University (LIFTS INSTALLED OR MOST RECENTLY FULLY REPLACED AFTER 1990 ONLY)

Found the source of the problems with my PC

I am proud to finally tell y’all that I believe I have found a definite source of the problems I have been experiencing with my Windows PC over the past few days. It was because of a faulty Windows 10 preview update which was affecting the Windows 10 Recovery Environment. Luckily, I have found a trustworthy program (free of malware) which I could use to debug errors in my PC at any time, minor or major. Luckily,  none of the problems I am experiencing with my PC right now are  anywhere close to what’s happened when I tried to fix windows PC’s in the past. I am still taking  every precaution possible to further decrease the chance of my Windows PC breaking down or crashing. As a matter of fact, my PC almost crashed  this morning , but luckily, I was able to hard-restart the PC to get it working again by holding the power button down for 15-20 seconds. Luckily,  none of the problems I am experiencing with my PC right now are  anywhere close to what’s h...

LIFT FILMING AGENDA UPDATE 1.25.2019 & WILL CHICAGO BE CROWNED THE NEW KING?

Chicago holds a high possibility of being crowned first place . What if I told you that Chicago has some rare and exotic lifts that you probably won’t find in many other places in the U.S.? That is an existence a lift filmer will be delighted with when they go to the city of Chicago. My four figures of reference were: WI Sirens and Elevators Elevators of Lake County CHI Elevators Windy City Elevators Because I have found so many outstanding Montgomery, Dover, SchindlerHaughton, Westinghouse and KONE lifts throughout the city of Chicago, it wouldn’t be sensible for me to write it all under one big blog post, because it would be a big waste of time for me to go into big, elaborate detail on what made each lift stand out. What I found on YouTube in terms of Chicago lifts Mitsubishi and Fujitec These lift filmers have walked around the city of Chicago filming some super nice lifts, and in the process of watching YouTube videos over the past few months, I have found that Ch...

QUICK RUNDOWN OF THE NORMAL BEHAVIOR OF A 700A

Tallest 700A’s I have been on Arguably, at 20 stories, these have been the tallest Schindler 700A’s I have EVER been on, and the first I’ve been on in a hotel. However, I have noticed some interesting characteristics of the Schindler 700A in mid to high rise applications. Epic lifts indeed To start off, these lifts had absolutely incredible acceleration, deceleration and leveling. They take off like rockets and travel at a mindblowing speed of 120 meters per minute, despite serving a travel distance of 55-60 meters. The deceleration is similar to the Schindler 700A’s at the Nordstrom store at the Mall at Short Hills, as it smoothly phases into its full deceleration mode. In terms of character, these lifts do tend to make a little bit of noise and shake on the way up and down the tower. Car 3 makes a very loud screeching noise as it accelerates towards level 17 going down, which I find to make the ride even more fun. These lifts were installed in 1993, which gives them even more 199...
