While reasearching Pennhurst and Fernald, I saw a few photos of chairs like that. A few to many of them actually had seatbelts on them in order to restrain the students, they even had a padded chair shaped like a cylander with a hole in it where they shoved the children into so they couldnt move.

Well, Pennhurst did run on its own. They made their own food, they had to store drinking water in big metal containers, they even had their own mourge....I dont see why they should'nt have their own electricity.

HA! we and my friend chris spent 3 hours going through those buildings. Its fracking creepy! its five miuntes from my house by bike!!!

I meant which comment scared you?

As to how sane I am, I believe we have a number of competing opinions on that at the moment. :-)

Sure, go ahead. You seem reasonably sane...can't be all that outrageous.

"I should add when Jeremy was born, my twins were 5 years old and my oldest was 7, so it was a little crazy keeping up with 4 small children. I managed though, and wouldn't trade the experiences for the world."

Wow. Much respect to you, Paulina. I'm not sure if I could've handled that.

I was a broadcasting major in college and I can definitely say that this is NOT the back end of a tv camera. There are 4 positions on the leftmost switch on the bottom row that allow for four different views, the lower two being monitor large and monitor small. What the other two positions are, I cannot tell, even when adjusting the photo around in photoshop just to see. TV broadcasting cameras do not show you anything in the viewfinder other than what you're sending to the switcher unit, though, so I can assure you it's not part of a camera.

The Hammond B-3 doesn't have built-in speakers as this one does, they usually are accompanied by a Leslie speaker cabinet for this reason. Also, the cabinet for the B-3 is more boxey looking than this one, and a B-3 has drawbars, which this one does not have. This looks more like a home-type organ that was popular in the 60's/70's. I own a music instrument store and I have people come in all the time trying to sell me organs of this type, but with electronic keyboards being popular these days, the market for home organs is now almost nonexistant.

Here's your Tylenol, darlin'.

I look at that chair and cant help but think of the small child that struggled to get on and off of that chair.

she thinks it is a cage

Man, that's so [insert abusive word here] COOL!

A vulture...

Living in the attic...

Of an abandoned building with a gloomy past!

How can that possibly be more AWEsome?

A vulture? There was a vulture living there? Wow. Just WOW. No shots of the vulture itself?

This is just so f*cking terrible. I can't imagine the hell these poor children must have gone through.
