And then completely redesigned everything. Fewer...

I don't know what to say. That's so difficult. I have a relative who is an alcoholic, and it ruin my childhood and it still affects me. Alcoholism really destroys the person, so they can't seem to make the choice between family and life, and the drink. In sober moments, I'm sure they aren't choosing to die or to hurt their families, but yet that's what happens when they drink. I'm very sorry for your loss.

I work out on a daily basis with weights but also run every morning and sometimes at the gym too. Its a hard thing for me to keep up with work, wife and kids, and hobbies. I do substitute a day of running for surfing many times a week. But not everyone can do that (I'm required to keep my shape up for the Army and for SWMBO (cause she is SOO much hotter than me)) so I would always tell people if they can't get to the gym find a hobby...

A duffel bag full of $100 bills!

I've made and used commercially made ones that were made of almost a spandex material. I've used...

I got the black out cloth at a local fabric store for $6 a yard so it cost me about $20. Some is sold as drapery lining but doesn't have the rubberized/vinyl coating. That coating not only increases the gain a bit but also blocks light from going through and bouncing back off the wall. Horrible for contrast if that happens. The projector is the Sanyo Z2000 and I rode the Sanyo models pretty much all the way up. Z1, Z3, now Z2000 each time...
