Isaac Hayes quits SouthPark over Scientology Ep

As a civil rights activist of the past 40 years, I cannot support a show that disrespects those beliefs and practices. South Park co-creator Matt Stone responded sharply in an interview with The Associated Press Monday, saying, This is 100 percent having to do with his faith of Scientology... He has no problem and he's cashed plenty of checks with our show making fun of Christians. Last November, South Park targeted the Church of Scientology and its celebrity followers, including actors Tom Cruise and John Travolta, in a top-rated episode called Trapped in the Closet. In the episode, Stan, one of the show's four mischievous fourth graders, is hailed as a reluctant savior by Scientology leaders, while a cartoon Cruise locks himself in a closet and won't come out. Stone told The AP he and co-creator Trey Parker never heard a peep out of Isaac in any way until we did Scientology. He wants a different standard for religions other than his own, and to me, that is where intolerance and bigotry begin. -- Among the most detestable villains in history, you could not find one worse than Moses.

This reminds me: do any of you happen to read the comic strip Monty? The recent strips have been kind of amusing, weaving a tale of how the Others from Lost are descended from the Castaways of Gilligan's Island, kept there as a result of Gilligan's secret sociopathy. Maybe he's not the first person to have that idea, but it certainly dovetails nicely with my age old question of why the Castaways never just killed that idiot after the third or fourth time he messed up their plans for escape. :) Jim S.S.

I was recently watching yet another scifi tv episode where a hit to a spaceship causes sparks from electrical equipment. I would think something as simple as fuses would stop that, but I'm not an electrician. In the real world, would fuses stop that kind of thing from happening? It depends on where the short is. And how much extra current is flowing, and for how long. And from personal experience I can tell you that you can get some significant sparks (or one really big one) before the fuse blows or the breaker trips. And then there was the time with an in-line fuse holder and one of those little glass fuses that apparently the fuse-holder had a lower rating than the fuse, because the solder on one of the connections at the end melted and soldered the fuse into place, while all the while the equipment attached to the circuit kept right on operating . . . But the real answer to your question is that TV is a visual medium, and sparks are visual. Also, how do you ground electrical equipment in space, where you don't have easy access to actual ground?

I would think something as simple as fuses would stop that, but I'm not an electrician. In the real world, would fuses stop that kind of thing from happening? You see the same sort of effect when the power lines go down, even the lower voltage lines on the pole behind your home. (Well...your service entrance could be underground, but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.G) I'm an electrician and I've worked at NASA-JSC. I've peered into the innards of some of the mockups which are to varying degrees exact copies of the real deals, so I could hazard a few hypothesis based on what I know with certainty and what I've seen and think I understand, at least until someone who knows better speaks up.G There are 2 ways to stop short circuits and overloads. You can use a fuse or a breaker. Fuses are good for a single event and then they have to be replaced.This is obviously quite a nusiance if you have an abundance of circuits and it also means you have to maintain a stock of precious space eating replacements. My guess is that fuses will only be used for equipment that needs to be protected *very* fast. (Fuses blow faster than breakers trip, can be sized more precisely to a given load, and are much more reliable at protecting circuits. But in general their disadvantages likely outweigh their advantages in a complex machine like a spacecraft or habitat.) Breakers have the advantage of re-useability and that is just great. But there is a dirty lil secret concerning breakers. If a breaker has tripped just one single time all bets are off and it is no longer covered by a garuantee. Sure, experience tells you that you can reset a breaker numerous times and everything will work fine, but the manufacturers will not honor a garuantee beyond the first trip (even though they test them by tripping them at the factory and they come in the trip position..go figure). I'm sure aerospace uses the highest quality with upgraded capability but the same physical constraints we have on earth still apply in space and therein lies the problem. When breakers fail, they usually fail to trip. I have tried to trip bad breakers and it looks like I'm welding (This is a good reason to be wary of Federal Pacific [FPE]breakers..they are notorious for this). So you have a physical shock, and a short-circuit/overload situation.. well you could have some sparks for a few seconds, but it wouldn't last all that long. Also, how do you ground electrical equipment in space, where you don't have easy access to actual ground? To some degree it doesn't matter all that much. If every part of a craft is electrically tied to every other part you have an equipotential plane that effectivly *is* your ground/reference ground. Any voltage you use is above the (even if non-negligable) equipotential plane and 120V is still 120V as far as the craft is concerned. Any difference in potential between the craft and the planet is irrelevant because the systems are isolated from each other by space. If you think about it, every body in the solar system (hell...the universe) has a different electrical potential (not that it ever becomes relevant G). Now I'm wondering if there are sparks when a ship docks at the space station because I don't see any way that 2 crafts having travelled in quite different paths will have the same potential at docking. xponent Semi-Expertise Maru rob ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
