Good thing you noted "present," because it certainly doesn't have a particularly good chance of being there for much longer. A shame, because it is the most beautiful mall in SE Wisconsin. I still think they could make a go of it if they would broaden their scope and add more entertainment venues (clubs, theaters…

Those who watched Comedy Central during some of the early years would likely clearly remember Bill Nye from "Almost Live." Comedy Central picked up that show (editing out some of the very hyper-local references and sketches that nationwide viewers wouldn't get) as cheap filler during those early years, given their…

An escalator generally would not accommodate wheelchairs, scooters, buggys/carriages/prams/etc., and so on, and are more difficult for anyone physically disabled to traverse.

Reminds me of a scene from Myst.

That's what the torque wrench is for. It applies tension to the lock cylinder, which in turns helps prevent the pins from dropping back down.

Charlie "Chaplain"? Try "Chaplin."

For locations, many credit unions pay to participate in the Credit Union Service Center shared banking network. This network provides branches coast-to-coast for basic banking tasks. They can also participate in one of several ATM networks, such as Alliance One, that provides credit union members free ATM access.

Just as with banks, there are credit unions with good web/app design and bad ones. Alliant Credit Union in Chicago has a particularly good online bank, as well as mobile apps for both iOS and Android. One local large credit union in Wisconsin, Landmark Credit Union, has a fairly decent web front end provided by…

I believe credit unions are still required to have restrictions on whom can be a member. However, most of the restrictions involve geography (must live or work within X miles of a branch), or must be an employee or member of a specific group.

I've been with credit unions nearly all my life. When I bought my first car, I was young, naive, and unprepared, and got suckered into a megabank loan that was setup through the dealership, because the finance person there said "no one else would offer me a loan." The finance guy then flat out lied when I specifically…

It's horrible editing - because it isn't edited. It is a collection of B-roll clips that an editor would edit into something else.

This is what B-roll looks like. It's a series of separate clips that an editor can select from to include with your primary footage to produce a fully produced package. Most people don't usually see B-roll in this "raw" form.

Carl Sagan didn't survive to complete the production of the movie, but while he was still alive, he was heavily involved and worked directly with Zemeckis and the rest of the production crew.

Contact. The picture depicts Jodie Foster as the main character of the movie, Dr. Eleanor Arroway.

My personal "golden age of flying" was flying Midwest Express in the early to mid 90's. Yeah, the MD-80's and DC-9's weren't all that hot, but single class, two-across, leather seating, complimentary wine or cocktails, actual restaurant quality meals (I got lobster once!) on china with actual silverware, fresh-baked…

The case was dismissed for lack of evidence. However, the judge noted that Google Glass *did* fall "within the purview and intent" of the driver-facing monitor ban. So - yes, driving with Google Glass is illegal in California.

I'm fairly certain the sounds were created by a foley artist. This isn't *really* what it sounded like, it's what the foley artist imagined it would have sounded like based on what he was seeing on screen.

Yes, just like any currency, you can exchange it for actual physical currency. Obviously at the amount of money we're talking about, you would likely have to launder the money somehow, but it is possible.

First, you *can* actually get physical coinage that represents an amount of bitcoins. Second, the reason they do so is that it is awfully hard to come up with a visual image for something which is digital and without form, and therefore is definitively not visual.

"Dennis Wilson" looks a bit like Scott Bakula to me.
