DMK Group, Germany’s largest dairy cooperative, said its second production facility in Russia will be open for business in the early part of next year following a “slight” delay caused by restrictions imposed by the government to contain the spread of coronavirus.
The new cheese plant in the town of Bobrov, located in the Bobrovsky District of central Voronezh Oblast, will be ready for commercial production in April and will enable DMK to increase processing of milk to 600 tons a day from 20 tons, Michael Feller, the chief operating officer for the co-op’s international division, said in a statement provided to just-food.
Feller explained that DMK first acquired an existing cheese production facility in the same town of Bobrov a “few years ago” after Russia closed its doors to cheese imports from Western Europe. But the company decided to build a second plant after production reached capacity over the past three years.
He added that DMK has invested between EUR18m (US$21.5m) and EUR20m in the Bobrov facilities, which manufacture cheese varieties such as Gouda, Tilsit, Goya and Maasdam.
Feller declined to provide any further information on customers it supplies to or the revenues generated from the Russian operation.
“Russia is highly profitable and we can expand,” he said.
DMK generated a turnover last year of EUR5.8bn, and delivered EUR24.5m in profits. The company is present in the retail and foodservice channels for branded products, such as Osterland and Oldenburger, as well as private label.
Along with cheese and dairy, the co-op’s portfolio also consists of baby food and ice cream, the latter being an area of recent expansion.
Earlier this year, DMK agreed a licensing deal with German confectioner Katjes Fassin, and formed another with local yogurt maker Ehrmann.

Why doesn't it come standard lol. After a short range day, I can definitely feel the difference.
(SOCOM II in an EBR mod 1)
Anything else I can upgrade to make a noticeable difference?
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKATXQuDId8[/ame]just curious, what makes a spring guide a nm? how can a spring guide improve accuracy?
Without the bolt in my rifle, I can't feel anything but smoothness when I cycle the op-rod back and forth with the USGI spring guide. I just can't see how a different spring guide could make it any smoother.Installed one in my Scout last week. Amazed at how slick the bolt moves. Fired 50 rds. Sure feels better. Just ordered another for my Standard. A great improvement over stock part.
Took a lot of the jump out of the rifle. The difference in recoil is like night & day isn't it?
With the stock off your rifle ,look at the spring on the spring guide it's doesn't lay in a consistent linear manner, some of the spring hangs to the left some to the right as the spring bunches up over the spring guide, and it NEVER goes back in the same place. When you put a Sadlak in the spring is centered no hanging off to the left or right and it returns to the exact same place centered after every shot. So instead of the spring wadding up, it maintains a correct spring shape with the Sadlak and smooths up the compression and release of the op spring and making it more consistent. Consistency and removing variables is the key to accuracy. I don't know if it reduces recoil , but it does smooth the recoil up . It wouldn't sell so well and be one of the 1st modifications mentioned by almost every M1A/M14 shooter on this site IF it didn't work. Some mods are eye candy designed just to sell parts for imagined problems and fixes , the NM spring guide is not one of them, Dollar wise it's one of the best improvements you can make to your rifle. PS Watch the video the Shooter put in upstairs. If you can't see the difference on the video , no amount of words will help.Without the bolt in my rifle, I can't feel anything but smoothness when I cycle the op-rod back and forth with the USGI spring guide. I just can't see how a different spring guide could make it any smoother.
How can the spring guide affect recoil? This is a new one for me.
I can see the difference fine, thank you.PS Watch the video the Shooter put in upstairs. If you can't see the difference on the video , no amount of words will help.
Quite a few less uncalled flyers , my groups are tighter spaced. This modification was originally developed by the Army and Marine Corp Armorers building rifles to compete at the National Match with, who welded the mag hook end to a round rod with a tapered end. Sadlak just took that proven idea and made a one piece model. Look up the history of it . It works.I can see the difference fine, thank you.
How has it affected your groups?
Sadlak has two detailed pages explaining all the differences between USGI spring guide and their National match guide. Just read it!I can see the difference fine, thank you.
How has it affected your groups? I read about people installing a NM style spring guide all the time but they never follow up with proof of results.


Taiwanese carrier Starlux Airlines’ tentative agreement for 17 Airbus A350s is evidence that the airframer’s long-haul order drought is starting to ease.
Airbus chief commercial officer Eric Schulz, speaking as the airline disclosed its memorandum of understanding for 12 A350-1000s and five -900s, said he expected the long-haul market to pick up over the next 18 months to two years.
Outside of Emirates’ follow-on agreement for A380s, long-haul orders had been notably absent from Airbus’s books for the first five months of this year, only starting to emerge in June.
"I believe the widebody market is an extremely long-term market," says Schulz. "I would not change my opinion."
Although air shows can give a misleading impression of order trends, Schulz says: "Indicators seem to be in place for this [pick-up] to happen.
"There are explanations as to why this wave is now coming. We see the first signs of the market starting to accelerate – in Asia in particular."
Starlux is already intending to take 10 Airbus A321neos from October 2019, though agreements with lessors which the airline says it hopes to finalise "by the end of this year".
It will start introducing the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-powered A350s from late 2021, with the five -900s arriving by 2022 and the -1000s being delivered from 2022-24.
Starlux chairman KW Chang says the A350 capacity is "perfect" for the start-up airline's future network, and says the carrier will have 27 aircraft by 2024, before "steadily expanding" to 50 aircraft by the end of 2030.
The carrier aims to launch its first flights in 2020, initially with routes from Taipei to south-east and north-east Asian destinations.
Starlux has yet to detail the configuration of its A350s but indicates that the jets will have a four-class layout.

Depression affects 121 million people around the world and a significant number of these people are in the United States. New research published in BMC Medicine reports the prevalence in 18 countries around the world and found affluent countries tend to have higher rates of depression, with an average of 14.6% of their populations likely to get depression over their lifetime. The United States, with the proportion at 19% of the population likely to get depression, ranks second overall, after France at 21%.
This study was done in conjunction with the World Health Organization (WHO) World Mental Health (WMH) Survey Initiative. Furthermore, the World Health Organization predicts depression will be one of the largest health problems worldwide by 2020, so now is the time for countries, organizations and the people to take action.
This is all taken from a press release for the NAMI California 2011 conference. And I’m thrilled that it resulted in a call from NPR for an interview by Jeffrey Callison on Insight – to talk about my new book as well as my upcoming talk at the conference.
Date: Thursday, August 18th, 2011 between 10 and 11am PST
Topic: Depression and Food
Host: Jeffrey Callison
On the dial: 90.9 FM KXJZ Sacramento; 90.5 FM KKTO Tahoe City/Reno; 91.3 FM KUOP Stockton/Modesto; 88.1 FM KQNC Quincy
And continuing with the press release….
An editorial by Dr. Marlene Freeman, MD, in the American Journal of Psychiatry offered a very powerful comment on 2009 and 2010 food-mood studies. “It is both compelling and daunting to consider that dietary intervention at an individual or population level could reduce rates of psychiatric disorders. There are exciting implications for clinical care, public health, and research.”
Trudy Scott, author of The Antianxiety Food Solution: How the Foods You Eat Can Help You Calm Your Anxious Mind, Improve Your Mood & End Cravings, and President of the National Association of Nutrition Professionals comments: “While I agree that dietary intervention is compelling, I don’t feel it is daunting. We simply need to teach people how to eat real food again. And the great thing is that these changes, in addition to reducing depression and anxiety, will also reduce the risk of obesity, heart disease, cancer, arthritis and many other health conditions.”
Scott, who is a Food Mood Expert and Nutritionist, will be one of many excellent plenary speakers at NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Health) California’s 2011 Annual conference. NAMI California works to provide help, hope and healing for those affected by serious mental illness and the conference theme is “Creating Change through Vision and Action”. Scott’s topic will be Food and Mood: The science behind the effects of food on mental health and she is endorsed by Dr. Lawrence E. Cormier, MD, as a “leader in the field of food and mental health”. Scott will also provide practical how-to information in a hands-on nutrition workshop later in the day. The conference is in Sacramento, California on August 19 & 20.

Ben Mitchell is set to get a huge shock in EastEnders tonight as Kathy Beale is forced to reveal to her son that she was raped in the 1980s by sinister businessman James Willmott-Brown. After Willmott-Brown returned and cornered Kathy, she was left shaken by him being back on the scene and Phil Mitchell headed to deal with him.
Willmott-Brown’s revelation that he is dying stopped Phil from violently harming him but he warned him to stay away from Kathy – or he will kill him. During his visit to the mansion, Phil saw a photograph which confirmed that Ben’s new boyfriend Luke Browning is related to Willmott-Brown and tonight he is on the warpath.
Taking Luke to one side, Phil menacingly warns him to get out of Ben’s life but Luke isn’t fazed and tells Ben what has happened. Not knowing the full context, Ben has a go at his dad for trying to sabotage his relationship but, having been sworn to secrecy by Kathy, Phil can’t explain his motives.
Kathy is worried that Ben and Phil’s relationship will suffer though and so decides that she needs to come clean – and she breaks the shattering news to an aghast Ben that she was raped.
After tonight’s scenes, Ben will be left reeling and wants to know if Luke was aware. Willmott-Brown then summons Ben to his home after extending an invitation and Ben arrives full of anger and hate and wielding a weapon.
Could the end for Willmott-Brown be nigh?

Scott Lively 'splains why Pope Francis's choice to say "gay" is bad news for anti-gay Christians who want to deny that gays even exist, since, as they maintain, we're talking about behavior and choices and not characteristics deeply rooted in the nature of a group of human beings:
My concern is about his use of the phrases "a gay person" and "the fact of that person being gay." Saying "a gay person," instead of "a person who struggles with homosexual temptation," or "a person who defines himself as homosexual" is on its face a major concession to sexual-orientation theory when used by a church leader about Christians.
Further, in the context of the sentence, it implies a softening of church policy that those with a deep-seated homosexual identity, even if celibate, are unfit for the priesthood. The 2005 "Instruction Concerning the Criteria for the Discernment of Vocation with regard to Persons with Homosexual Tendencies in view of their Admission to the Seminary and to Holy Orders" forbids "those who practice homosexuality, present deep-seated homosexual tendencies or support the so-called 'gay culture.'"
On Scott Lively, who is right at the heart of the kill-the-gays legislation in Uganda, see Right Wing Watch and Southern Poverty Law Center. The latter has placed Lively and his Abiding Truth Ministries on its anti-gay hate watch list.
Still asking why, when the pope said "gay," John Allen reported via his headline about the pope's comments at National Catholic Reporter that the pope talked about not judging "homosexuals." If the pope's choice to utter the word "gay" was a big deal, why did the top-billed reporter for the flagship "liberal" Catholic publication of the U.S. run a headline reporting on that choice using the term "homosexual" in its stead?!
Word matter. And letting the voices of openly gay and lesbian people into conversations that have been dominated up to now by heterosexual males--conversations in which the very identity of LGBT human beings has been defined without their involvement in these defining conversations--is extremely important. That is, if our commitment to mercy, love, and justice means something beyond rhetoric . . . .

A 30-minute Youtube video, tons of Twitter posts, posters, bracelets, buttons, election signs; the Kony 2012 movement is not only sweeping the nation but almost every country, thanks to word of mouth, internet posts, and celebrity promotions that reach from Oprah Winfrey to Justin Bieber.
The Invisible Children organization sponsers the KONY 2012 movement. Invisible Children is a California based non-profit organization that strives to inform the community about the stories from the African civilians in an attempt to end the longest running armed conflict in Africa. With the movement having exploded onto the internet and other media bases, some FC students are also attempting to get involved.
Junior Ted Hartog is one of those students who are trying to help raise awareness.
“The Invisible Children movement’s intentions are to send U.S. troops to aide the Ugandan army and we have yet to raise enough awareness,” said Hartog.
The movement will feature several events that intend to raise even more awareness. An upcoming event to raise awareness is called “Blanket the Night.” This will involve posting signs all over any local city on April 20. Another event is a dance marathon in late November. If one can not attend these events there are other options online readers can participate in to help the cause.
“Posting the video, tweeting #KONY2012, and visiting the website helps raise awareness,” said Hartog. “You can also buy the action kit online from the Kony 2012 website
With the rapid growth of this movement, criticism and controversy has arised. The Invisible Children budget plan has been heavily scrutinized, and the effectivness of the organization itself has been questioned. With the detainment of the creator of the Kony 2012 video new criticism and mocking of the Invisible Children has become more common than ever.
Despite the criticism circulating about the organization, Hartog offers advice on what to do when one makes a decision on which side of the story they believe.
“I think that anyone who supports should educate themselves on both sides. Don’t blindly follow one side of the facts,” said Hartog.
Senior Evan Pearce has a different view than Hartog.
“I don’t think America should be the world’s policemen. We’ve gone to many other countries for things like this and it never ends well,” said Pearce.
The internet has made this cause known, through a vast variety of tactics and approaches. Views on the internet takeover are differed.
“I think a lot of the people supporting it are really uneducated on the cause. Most of them don’t understand the problems our own country is going through. We’re in a huge economic recession with a skyrocketing debt and numerous social issues. The supporters are too busy worrying about problems in other countries to focus on the problem here,” said Pearce.
Needless to say, the views on the Kony 2012 movement differ. With legal allegations and a worrisome financial plan, the movement will give everyone a different view on helping out.
“America is not a perfect people or a perfect country, so it doesn’t make sense to me that we’re trying to help every other country besides ourselves,” said Pearce.

Thanks to Facebook, I now know that a grade school chum is jamming to Talib Kweli in NYC and a college buddy is in San Fran listening to some band I’ve never heard of, but probably should have. I make a note to YouTube some of their songs later.
Spotify, the music consumption service that launched in the US this summer, has streamlined the music poser process. And by music poser, I of course mean 95% of the music listeners in the States.
Music, like all art, is deeply personal. Whether you’re in a packed concert hall or wearing ear buds in your bedroom, the way the sounds reverberate in your ear and the lyrics resonate in your soul is an individually unique experience. A song can evoke emotions from a decade ago or take on a completely new meaning depending on your mood and your growth as a person.
That being said, choosing to own a song or an album is a decision most make thanks to at least some outside influence. The vinyls on your bookshelf, the cassettes in your glove compartment, the CDs in your binder and the MP3s on your iPod all tell a story. Who you are, what’s your style, where you’re from. Since we can control the content of our musical memoirs, we cater our library towards fulfilling the profile we want to assume. The Shins and Shyne are neighbors in my iPod, so you can tell I’ve spent time as both a wanna-be gangsta and a wanna-be hipster.
When Spotify first landed Stateside, James Allworth wrote a post for the Harvard Business Review blog entitled “Why I’m Not Going Near Spotify (And Why You Shouldn’t Either). He made the obvious point that we consume music differently than movies or TV shows, and that paying a subscription fee could leave the library you build at the whims of a company known to make Netflix-like price hikes.
Allworth misses the point for millenials. We’re the generation that first stole music. We never really owned it because, in order to justify our giant thievery corporation, we had to trick ourselves into believing music wasn’t really “ownable” in the first place. A hard drive crash could wipe out our entire life’s savings of beats and tunes at any time. Losing our library? No big deal. We’ll just recreate it, but better this time. Transferring my CDs to my iTunes gave me that opportunity once, and I wouldn’t mind another round of Spring Cleaning
Spotify satisfies an on-demand culture’s musical cravings while simultaneously allowing us to posture in ways YouTube never could. Since users have to link their activity to their Facebook profile, they know damn well that all of their friends will see each and every song they choose to listen to. Each click of the mouse comes after the user weighs two factors: will I like this song, and what will others think of me “liking” this song?
In other words, nothing’s really changed.

Does a secret panel of physicians handpicked by medical specialty trade groups wield too much power over Medicare fees?
That's a question the Wall Street Journal has raised in an article on the Relative Value Scale Update Committee (RUC). That's a panel of 29 doctors handpicked by medical specialty trade groups and convened by the American Medical Association. Its main focus is to estimate how much work a physician must do to perform a task.
While the group has no official government standing, CMS usually follows at least 90 percent of its recommendations on how much to pay doctors for their work.
A Wall Street Journal analysis of Medicare and RUC data suggest that services received too much money in some cases, because the fees were based on obsolete assumptions. For example, more than 500 doctor services that are performed as mostly outpatient or in doctors' offices in 2008 still automatically include significant payments for hospital visits the day after the procedure, which would usually be part of an inpatient stay.
Opponents of the panel say the committee promotes a system that spends too much money on fancy procedures, while giving basic primary care that could keep patients healthier from the get go and save money short shrift. Critics also point to a conflict of interest.
"It's indefensible," Tom Scully, a former CMS administrator and now a lawyer in private practice, told the WSJ. "It's not healthy to have the interested party essentially driving the decisionmaking process."
Robert Berenson, vice chair of the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MEDPAC), a Congressional Watchdog, noted that the setup "produces increased spending for Medicare and for the rest of the system."
Within the panel, some clashes between primary-care doctors and a surgical factions have occurred. In one instance, primary-care doctors called for the addition of another primary care seat on the panel, but got voted down. According to J. Fred Ralston, president of the American College of Physicians, the panel seemed more heavily weighted to specialties that are more procedure-oriented.
Dr. Barbara Levy, a Seattle-area gynecologist who heads up RUC, told the WSJ that the panel is not meant to be representative. And she seemed to deny any conflict of interest. "The outcomes are independent of who's sitting at the table from one specialty to another," she said.

UK Guardiola chat with Cancelo shows Gomez what to do after Man City transfer last minute news
PremierLeague-News.Com- Manchester City beat Bournemouth in the Premier League, with Joao Cancelo starting at left-back again.
PremierLeague-News.Com - Breaking Sport Transfer News ! Another week, another different Manchester City full-back formation. After playing both Kyle Walker and Joao Cancelo as regular full-backs against Liverpool, the pair then inverted inside at West Ham to baffle David Moyes and help City to an impressive win in the capital. Against Bournemouth, it was a return to just one inverted full-back, although it was Walker rather than Cancelo drifting into midfield in possession in the week where Pep Guardiola said Sergio Gomez will be their only left-back signing of the summer. Also read: City player ratings as De Bruyne runs Bournemouth ragged The initial plan was to send Anderlecht left-back Gomez on loan, but Guardiola looked at the market, analysed videos of Gomez, spoke to his former manager, Vincent Kompany, and decided the best bet would be to stick with the Spaniard as cover for Cancelo. If Gomez was watching the Blues' comfortable win over Bournemouth, he will have seen the levels required to displace Cancelo - but also some situations where he will be better suited than the right-footed Portuguese. Cancelo was predictably solid on the ball and was better than against Liverpool in his task of staying wide and combatting a Bournemouth side who naturally try and attack down the right.
News source = PremierLeague-News.Com
. As a result, those opportunities stopped midway through the second half, with Guardiola taking Cancelo to one side during a drinks break to give him some detailed and animated instructions. The fourth goal, turned in by a Bournemouth defender, did come from Cancelo's left foot, although he had initially cut back onto his right before checking back to create the space - and it came after 75 minutes against a tired defence, rather than with any jeopardy in the game. Gomez scored seven goals and added 15 assists for Anderlecht last season, and has played as an attacker in his youth career. If he can offer the Blues a wide full-back option who can get to the byline and cross a ball, that will be a clear area where he is different to Cancelo. When he arrives at City and looks to show Guardiola how he can improve the team, games like this could be his avenue into the starting XI, giving a genuinely new option on the left that currently doesn't exist in the squad.

Sean Lennon says Revolver is one of his favourite Beatles albums as it celebrates its 50th anniversary.
Sean – the son of late Beatles icon John Lennon – says the band’s seventh album ranks up there with their best work.
Speaking to Classic Rock for a feature on the 50th anniversary of Revolver, Lennon says: “Revolver’s one of my favourite Beatles records, up there with Sgt Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour and the White Album.
“Those records have influenced me more than any other music on the planet. Beside the fact it’s my dad and I grew up listening to them, they’re just ingrained in my psyche.”

Lennon says Revolver is “hipper” than other records, putting the listener “in a trance.”
He adds: “Revolver appeals to me more than Abbey Road or my dad’s solo stuff, which I love in a different way, because psychedelic music seems more magical.
“It’s like a kid likes reading Lord Of The Rings instead of Bonfire Of The Vanities – it’s exciting, it’s the promise of a supernatural world.
“A song like Tomorrow Never Knows puts you almost in a trance. Not in the way techno music or monks chanting would. It’s hipper than that.”
Issue 226 of Classic Rock celebrates Revolver’s 50th anniversary and also includes interviews with Jeff Beck, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and many more. It’s available now in print and via TeamRock+.

Cutty Sark was built in Dumbarton in 1869, designed to carry tea from China to England as fast as possible.
On 16 February 1870, Cutty Sark left London bound for Shanghai, via the Cape of Good Hope, on her first voyage. Commanded by Captain George Moodie, his log mentioned that she carried ‘large amounts of wine, spirits and beer’.
The arrival of the ship at Shanghai, with ‘manufactured goods’, is listed in the North China Herald of 2 June 1870. Departing with around 1,305,812 lbs of tea on 25 June, she arrived back in London on 13 October 1870.
This is the first of eight voyages the ship successfully made to China in pursuit of tea. However, Cutty Sark never became the fastest ship on the tea trade.
Dogged by bad winds and misfortune, she never lived up to the high expectations of her owner during these years. The closest the ship came to winning the tea race was in 1872, when she had the opportunity to race rival clipper ship Thermopylae head to head for the first time.
After arriving at Shanghai in late May 1872, she met Thermopylae when loading her tea cargo. With both sailing from Woosung on 17 June 1872, the two ships closely matched each other through the China Sea and into the Indian Ocean.
By 7 August, and with a good tail wind, Cutty Sark found herself a good 400 miles ahead of Thermopylae.
Then, on 15 August, disaster struck – Cutty Sark’s rudder gave way.
After reconstructing the rudder twice in heavy seas, the ship arrived back at London on 19 October, around seven days after her rival. The courage and determination of Captain Moodie and his crew won Cutty Sark great credit, but Moodie retired from his command of the ship due to stress. The ship was never to get this close to winning the tea race again.
Nonetheless, Cutty Sark would go on to become known as the fastest ship of her day, though not until the 1880s when she was in her teens.

Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk Stealth attack aircraft. NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. -- An F-117 Nighthawk flies over the Nevada desert. The unique design of the single-seat F-117 provides exceptional combat capabilities. The fighter can employ a variety of weapons and is equipped with sophisticated navigation and attack systems integrated into a digital avionics suite that increases mission effectiveness and reduces pilot workload. Detailed planning for missions into highly defended target areas is accomplished by an automated mission planning system developed, specifically, to take advantage of the unique capabilities of the Nighthawk.

The Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk is a single-seat, twin-engine stealth ground-attack aircraft formerly operated by the United States Air Force (USAF). Its first flight was in 1981. It achieved initial operating status in October 1983. The F-117 was "acknowledged" to the world in November 1988.
A product of Lockheed Skunk Works and a development of the Have Blue technology demonstrator, it became the first operational aircraft designed around stealth technology. The F-117A was publicized during the Persian Gulf War of 1991. It was commonly called the "Stealth Fighter" although it was a ground-attack aircraft.
The Air Force retired the F-117 on 22 April 2008. Sixty-four F-117s were built, 59 of which were production versions with five demonstrators / prototypes.
Four F-117 Nighthawks fly in formation during a sortie over the Antelope Valley March 28, 2007. After 25 years of history, the aircraft was retired. As the Air Force's first stealth fighter, the F-117 was capable of performing reconnaissance missions and bombing critical targets, all without the enemy's knowledge. F-117, tail number 783, was transported to Edwards AFB June 8 to be refurbished and be put on display in the future. It will be one of only four F-117s on display. (Photo by Bobbi Zapka)

Friday the 25th of April
Effortless sailing to Ventotene, though the wind did get somewhat boisterous upon arrival. I made for the old port (originally carved out of the bedrock by the Romans) and moored bow-to to the quay.
I don’t even try to berth stern-to with Eileen of Avoca. The slightest breeze makes maneuvering in reverse (an arcane art practiced by only a few brave Yarmouth 23 owners) an unpredictable and potentially hazardous exercise.
This island is a scuba divers paradise but has little else to offer tourists on an extended stay. As I looked over the produce displayed on a small three-wheeled van the purveyor came to tout his wares. “Seven Euro and made with my own hands” he stated enthusiastically while I examined a jar of pickled capsicum. After this unexpected proclamation I couldn’t help but turn to examine his dirt-encrusted fingers as he reached for the jar.
I reluctantly abandoned my intended purchase.
Thursday the 24th of April
At first light I cast off to brave the persistent swell at the entrance to Fiumicino. With considerable trepidation I watched the sets of breakers and timed my exit. The rain from earlier in the week had swollen the current, steepening the oncoming swell. I didn’t want to be in the wrong place should a large set of waves break, so I set the engine to full throttle and powered through the danger zone. Safe!
Hoisting the sails I adjusted my course (150°) for Ponza (60NM away). There was not much in the way of scenery but the settling sea and favourable westerly breeze were more than enough to keep my spirits high.
By 19:00 I was carefully threading my way through the shoals off Punta Rossa arriving at Porto di Ponza soon afterward. I had no luck contacting the private “mini-marina” staff by radio so I made fast to the first pontoon confident that someone would not be long in stopping by to extract a fee. I did not have to wait long. A quote of 10 Euros per meter (subsequently reduced to 50 Euro after observing my startled reaction) saw miserly me off to set anchor in the bay (beyond the buoys marking the ferry-maneuvering zone). Contrary to what is stated in my pilot, it is permitted to use this free anchorage.
In the remaining light I set about inflating my tender (a Sevylor diving kayak). Keeping a dry backside in this contraption which has an access hatch at its centre is a bit of a challenge but despite this I’ve convinced myself it was an excellent purchase. (see: http://www.nextag.com/sevylor-diveyak/search-html)
After a brief morning wander through the bustling port and side streets of Ponza in search of fresh bread and a strong espresso, I paddled back to Eileen on a caffeine high, and weighed anchor.
On Friday night (21st) and Saturday morning, I drove to Civitavecchia (1500km non-stop) to take the Tirennia ferry to Olbia leaving at 23:00.
This time I was in the company of my girlfriend Eva and she shared a little of the driving. I did not want to leave Eileen of Avoca in the water so long, but consistent poor weather prevented me from making the passage to Rome any earlier.
Whether or not the next forecast would show settled conditions was anyone’s guess but if necessary, I vowed to spend the whole holiday period sitting in my boat waiting for the appropriate weather window.
I’d probably have to find a new girlfriend after that, but as it turned out we were lucky. A check via the Internet on Saturday (www.eurometeo.com) indicated an imminent improvement in the weather, and despite the rain we would not have to contend with the 4 to 7 meter waves that had been a feature of previous weeks.
Hot coffee in hand I made plans for our imminent departure.
Impressed as I was with Porto Rotondo, I had planned to finish my trip in Olbia, a mere 4 hours away by boat (25 minutes by car). After checking the forecast for the next few days with the marina office, I set sail.
Three hours later, just outside the buoyed channel to Olbia harbour, I experienced my first taste of the unpredictable Sirocco winds. It had been an easy run past Punta Filasca headland into Gulfo Aranci and I was already bringing down the mainsail when Eileen shuddered as we were hit by an incredibly strong and sustained wind from the SSE. Although somewhat sheltered by the bays southern peninsula, the mainsail was not fully lowered making the next few minutes interesting to say the least.
By the time I had motored the last five miles into the port the wind had dropped to a gentle breeze and tying up against the old commercial quay proved a cinch.
I spent one night on the exposed wall (no charge) and made enquiries about extending my stay in the nearby marinas. Contrary to the information published in my pilot book, visitors are not so welcome here. I quickly concluded that Porto Rotondo was a far superior place to leave my boat and resolved to return there in the morning.


The heart of the American outbreak is shifting to the heartland. As the coronavirus crisis drags on, less populous states in the Midwest and the Great Plains are seeing furious growth, while dense states in the Northeast are experiencing some of the slowest rates of new infection.
In South Dakota, cases have risen steadily throughout the month of September. In the past week, more new cases have been diagnosed than in any other seven-day stretch of the pandemic and twice broken a record for coronavirus hospitalizations. Officials announced 457 new cases Friday.
Gov. Kristi Noem, a Republican, has never issued a stay-at-home order or a statewide masking ordinance. She has encouraged large gatherings to continue unabated, including the president’s campaign rally at Mount Rushmore on the Fourth of July and the famous Sturgis motorcycle rally, which led to hundreds of new infections in neighboring states.
Across state lines, North Dakota is experiencing the single fastest rate of growth of coronavirus cases per capita in the country. In the past week, the state has averaged 390 new cases per day — a 50 percent increase from the average two weeks ago.
An effort to bring things under control in North Dakota imploded on Friday, when the state’s chief health officer resigned after less than a month on the job. The officer, Dr. Paul Mariani, had issued and then rescinded an order requiring residents to quarantine if exposed to the virus, or risk a misdemeanor charge. Gov. Doug Burgum accepted the resignation, saying the penalty had become a “large and unforeseen distraction.”
In Wisconsin cases have more than doubled since the beginning of September. The state, a critical battleground in the presidential election, has had an average of more than 2,000 cases per day in the past week.
Gov. Tony Evers warned in a video message Friday that the state was experiencing “unprecedented, near exponential growth,” which he attributed to a spike among people aged 18 to 24, who he said had an infection rate five times higher than other age groups.
Two more central states also reported single-day case records on Friday: Oklahoma with 1,276 and Missouri with more than 2,020. The other three states that reported single-day records were Idaho, Oregon, and Utah.
In Oklahoma, more cases have been announced over the last week than in any other seven-day stretch of the pandemic.
And in Missouri, Gov. Mike Parson and his wife have tested positive for the virus, but are still planning to host a fall festival at the governor’s mansion on Oct. 3, a few days before the end of their 14-day quarantine window.


Roni Ben Hur, a 45-year-old guitarist who will perform with bass, drum set and percussion players on opening night, was born and raised in Dimona, in southern Israel near Beersheva. He began playing guitar at 11.
"We listened to the music of the Beatles, plus Israeli music of the '50s and '60s," he said, explaining that popular Israeli music was always played on the radio, more so during holiday periods.
Ben Hur's family is from Tunisia, and he therefore listened to traditional Sephardic songs, Tunisian music, and especially Arabic music on Jordanian radio. After a few years in Tel Aviv, he came to New York City and began exploring the active jazz culture. He plays a Gibson hollow body guitar, because he prefers its natural sound.
"I utilize a 'floating' electronic pick-up attached to the finger board, so that the integrity of the wood is not compromised," he explained.
A resident of Teaneck, N.J., he and his wife enjoy the thriving jazz culture of this northern New Jersey community, which is also known for its very large Jewish population. His music is gentle and elegant, especially worthwhile is his variations on the '60s Israeli hit tune "Eshkolit."
Tenor saxophonist Eli Degibri will perform at the Tuesday-evening concert.
Pianist Alon Yavnai — who will play on Wednesday evening, together with his ensemble comprised of bassist, drummer and flautist — was born in Tel Aviv in 1969; he was trained as a classical pianist at a conservatory in Givatayim.
In 1993, he enrolled at the Berklee College of Music in Boston in order to develop his jazz "chops," and soon "went his own way" in order to perform and record in a jazz idiom.
"As a child, I always took songs from the radio and began to play them by ear," he reminisced.
His favorite Israeli singers were Matti Caspi, Shlomo Gronich, Arik Einstein and, his personal favorite, Chava Alberstein.
"I developed an interest in Brazilian instrumental music, and I began to integrate bossa nova and samba rhythms into my arrangements," he said.
He has also combined Cuban influences into his jazz, along with polyrhythmic styles derived from the Israeli/Bulgarian bass player Stu Hacohen. With all of these varied styles, Yavnai continues to work on his classical repertoire, and has just performed the Schuman "A Minor Piano Concerto" with the Zurich Philharmonic.
"My three-hour practice sessions include a Bach fugue, Chopin piano music and Bulgarian jazz songs," he added.
Yavnai's new album, "Travel Notes," will be released in April by ObliqSound. It includes his original compositions, influenced by music of West Africa, Peru, Brazil and "flavors of Israel."
The most well-known of the group is Anat Cohen, jazz virtuoso on clarinet and saxophone, who will conclude the festival on Thursday night. Born in Tel Aviv in the 1970s, she came to Berklee College in Boston in 1996, and graduated in 1998.
"I began to perform both as a soloist and sideman playing 'straight ahead' jazz, and Brazilian and Colombian music," she said.
During her Berklee days, she played with a group of Israelis called the Aviv Band.
"We had a monopoly on Bar and Bat Mitzvah parties in New England," she noted with a smile.
Cohen is bringing a band to Philadelphia comprised of her well-known jazz trumpet virtuoso brother Avishai, along with a pianist, drummer and bass player. She will play clarinet, tenor and soprano sax; they will perform a varied program of traditional jazz selections derived from the "American Song Book" in a swing style, plus music influenced by African, Brazilian and Cuban rhythms and chord progressions.

Meanwhile, across town, the Philadelphia Orchestra is at the very beginning of its "Bernstein Festival" — a two-week series of concerts, screenings of "West Side Story," panel discussions and a Mambo Dance Party — all celebrating the 90th anniversary of the birth of Bernstein, perhaps the greatest composer, conductor, educator and iconic musical personality of the 20th century.
His first and primary love of music education, his worldwide status as a charismatic and inspiring conductor, and his enormous musical creativity — resulting in many diverse compositions reflecting eclectic tastes and experiences — coupled with his passionate Jewish identity have secured his role in history. Elements of Bernstein's Jewish upbringing in Boston, his commitment to the emerging State of Israel, and his thorough knowledge of Hebrew, biblical texts and Jewish liturgy are very much evident in many of his most famous works.
Many baby-boomers were highly influenced by the nationally televised "Young People's Concerts" that he wrote, produced and conducted with the New York Philharmonic during the late 1950s.
During this two-week festival at the Kimmel Center, the Philadelphia Orchestra is playing several selections from "West Side Story," "On the Town" and "Symphony No. 1: Jeremiah," in which Bernstein utilized traditional Ashkenazic Haftorah cantillation motifs that he heard while growing up in the Conservative Synagogue Mishkan Tefilah of Newton, Mass.
Participating is Jamie Bernstein, the oldest of Bernstein's three children, who will narrate a program about "The Bernstein Beat." Commissioned by Bernstein's music publisher Boosey and Hawkes, and written in the style of the original "Young People's Concerts," this work focuses on the liveliest of his compositions.
"After our father died (Oct. 14, 1990), my two siblings and I worked to keep his legacy alive," she explained.
Indeed, son Alexander has established a program at Gettysburg College called "The Bernstein Artful Learning Method." Nina Bernstein Simmons is responsible for finding a home for her father's archives at the Library of Congress, where many documents are now available online.
And Jamie? "I was elected to speak to the press and to the greater community."
Although she received minimal formal music education, Jamie learned by osmosis: "My father was a compulsive 'rabbi.' He would test his material on us. While driving, he would listen to popular music by the Kinks and other groups, and would proclaim that this tune was in the Mixolydian Mode."
She said that she enjoys the role of narrator in "The Bernstein Beat," and has also performed the narration in her father's "Third Symphony, The Kaddish."
"Although not a 'regular Jew,' our father was intensely Jewish and totally immersed in our liturgy," Bernstein declared, noting that the family celebrated the holidays, lighting Chanukah candles and singing traditional songs.
The highlight of the Bernstein Jewish life was the Passover seder, a tradition that she and her siblings carry on.
As for Jewish elements in her father's music, his daughter explained that "he utilized shofar calls in the very opening of 'West Side Story' and in the Inquisition Scene of 'Candide.'
"All these works together form a dialogue with his Maker, questioning, challenging and haranguing the Creator."

BAHAWALPUR-Cholistan Desert, which consists of 6,655,360 acres of land and carries 5,000 years old human civilization, is rich in resources but long neglected thus the people are anxiously awaiting a saviour. The people are looking for a messiah who can change the fate of the area in reality and bring it on a par with the other developed regions.
They said the biggest way for attaining drinking water for 200,000 Cholistanis and more than 1.6 million animals are rainfalls; water accumulated from rainfall is used throughout the year. However, Cholistan including Thar desert could be made oasis with very less water provision, they said.
According to historians, floodwater from Hakra, Sutluj, Bayaas, Ravi, Chennab, Jehlum and Indus Rivers comes to Cholistan due to the natural slop of terrain, and at that time these areas were populated and flourished due to the availability of water and it was rich in all types of agricultural and cattle production.
Due to change in direction of rivers agricultural and cattle production has declined significantly over the time but no significant change is seen in the terrain, water’s natural flow is still maintained towards these areas, they said.
They further said around 160 years ago, canal system was started to establish headworks on rivers and through extensive system of canals, different areas were watered. Due to canal system, water supply to the Cholistan is completely diminished, only rainwater is accumulated in Tobas and Dahars which are not sufficient for 1.6 million cattle due to which wildlife is near to end, they regretted.
In Cholistan and Thar, they said, dozens of Tobas are present and are still connected with Dahars, every year rains provide the water for cattle. In the last 70 years total population of the country has exceeded 200 million and it is feared that in the coming 25 years it will increase up to 300 million that is why there is a need to populate more land, they said. Cholistan and Thar lands need to be provided with water to meet the nutritional needs, they noted. “For doing, there is no need for canals, but only the flooding water of rivers through the Hakra River. The amount of floodwater at Panjnad ranges between 15 to 20 million cusec annually. Only 5 million cusec water can be put from headworks of Sulemanki, Head Islam or Panjnad as an experiment,” they said.
If a motorway could be constructed for economic development, waterway is also necessary which will increase the agricultural production significantly, they said. “1,100 water Tobas, around 100 underground Kunds, more than 200 wells, and almost 276 kilometre of 4 water pipelines which include 92 kilometre pipeline from Khaldi to Chak No 108/DB, 87 kilometer from Chak 111/DNB to Nawaankot , 43 kilometre from Khatdi Dahri to Tufana and 54 kilometre from Mir Garh to Chodi were constructed 12 years ago. There is a need to take further steps for the provision of basic facilities and clean drinking water to Cholistan, for which underground water Tanks (Kunds) and Tobas are cleaned on time and more pipelines and underground water tanks are needed,” they said.
Furthermore, they went on to say, newly-built pipelines need to be connected with the old ones and if one pipeline malfunctions then second could be made functional to ensure the water provision. They suggested. In so many areas of Cholistan old canal system is seen in some areas but due to water shortage not only canals have diminished but also rivers have lost their existence, Sutluj River is also becoming a pile of mud. Canals built during the English rule have diminished due to lack of water, Cholistan’s greenery is diminishing, trees are not seen in miles and small herbs are also dried, animals and birds are migrating from this area.
Due to constant drought in Cholistan birds, animals and humans are migrating, they said and added that for some time, rainfalls have lowered then expected due to which birds which used to migrate to Cholistan have also changed their direction.

Some of the features of the alloy are that it is having very good welding and forming properties. Due to the addition of chromium, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistant has become possible. It is having deep drawing quality. The alloy is very good toughness even at the down to a cryogenic temperature that is defined as the low temperatures. The low-temperature property is responding to the hardening very well through the cold working. It is having ease of cleaning and ease of fabrication ability as well.

You bought your R20 because its dependability and long-lasting quality struck a chord inside you; so why would you be okay with second rate when it comes to great quality auto parts? Chevrolet automobile owners have come to expect a certain level of dependability when driving their R20 around town. Obviously, you didn't buy your R20 unless you understood you would be getting performance and good looks both impeccably combined into one automobile. Car aficionados know that a trusted name is built into each Chevrolet, and know that only top quality replacement R20 parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done.
We may take this for granted, but it wasn't until the 1950s that vehicles were equipped with reliable air conditioning. On your Chevrolet R20, the A/C compressor is at the heart of this system. The air conditioning uses a refrigerant called R134a to fuel a thermal reaction that emits cold air, and the Chevrolet R20 A/C compressor, as the name would suggest, gets this reaction started by compressing the refrigerant into a hot fluid. Further down the line it gets expanded into a gas and then cooled before entering your cabin. Without the A/C compressor, your vents would only blow air that was the same as the ambient temperature of the environment.
At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents available with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Chevrolet R20 part for your needs. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Get your R20 back on the road with the best repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. If your car or truck was built in 1988, 1987, then you will find the correct Chevrolet R20 A/C Compressor parts right here.


What is an Evaporative Cooler and How do Evaporative Coolers Work? How does a swamp cooler work? How does wet air cooler work? Do evaporative coolers work? How does desert cooler work?
What is an Evaporative Cooler or What is Evaporative Cooling?
Evaporative coolers are based on evaporation system that cools air trough evaporation of water. The same evaporation system also works for swamp cooler, wet air cooler and desert cooler. It’s more different from air conditioning systems. Air conditioner system use one of absorption refrigeration or vapor-compression cycles. But Evaporative, Swamp, Wet Air and Desert coolers use water evaporation system. Some people often ask a question do Evaporative coolers work or not? We’ll also answer how do Evaporative coolers work?
Do Evaporative Coolers Work? How do Evaporative Coolers Work?
Actually, there is a water pump inside the Evaporative coolers and it spread the liquid water inside the wall of cooler. By this method cooler fan gets enough water vapor to cool air. These devices use much less electricity than refrigeration.
As we have told you above Evaporative Cooler is a water evaporation system based air cooler. That has water tank(inside). It’s water evaporation system change water to water vapor for evaporative cooling. Yes, evaporative coolers work well at dry place to cool air. Best performance in closed room but can be use at open place.
We feel humidity when amount of water vapor reduce in air(at any place) and air became dry. So, at that time we need to increase the amount of water vapor into air to cool the air. Evaporative cooling system work for this purpose. It’s evaporative system balance the water vapor into air while it’s air fan spread the air out side to cool your room.
It’s much effective during summer session. Actually you can use it in any session when you feel humidity in your room. There are some portable and heavy evaporative coolers are available in the market. Some of best evaporative coolers(both Heavy and Portable) are listed below.
Where Should Place Evaporative Coolers?
We suggest to set your evaporative coolers at window place because it’ll get the fresh air from outside. You can set it both place inside or outside window. But don’t set it beside windows place. If you set it another place beside window your evaporative coolers may spread bad smell after some day past. So, set your evaporative cooler at windows place inside window or outside window.
You must change water one in a weak. So that it give you fresh air. As these coolers are heavy so you should have a fixed place for it. Many of us forget to care of gadgets which gives us more relaxation.
The Best Place to Set Evaporative Coolers (inside room or out side room?)
Some automobile companies also use evaporative coolers in their vehicles because it’s less costly than air conditioner. There are various types of evaporative coolers in the market based on work capacity. Some of best evaporative coolers are listed below you may check.

Hair Transplants Gold Coast & Brisbane
A Natural Look
The front hairline is the most important part of a good transplant. It must be natural and completely undetectable to others.
The most natural look is attainable using a zig zag pattern. In other words, no straight or round lines are used but an irregular pattern creates a natural hairline the way your hairline used to be.
To achieve these results, we use single follicle grafts at the very front, placing them close together. This is known as dense packing. Behind the immediate hairline, we place grafts containing 1 or 2 hairs for added fullness and density. Further behind these, we create more density by placing grafts with 2, 3 or 4 hair follicles.
A Message from Dr Leat, our FUT & FUE Hair Transplant Specialist
“While many men and some women lose their hair, most people I talk to feel that it happens at a stage which is too early in their life. They often lose confidence and feel older than if they had a full head of hair.
The simple fact is: hair transplants are a proven, permanent method of hair restoration.
The recent medical advances and leading edge techniques we use today have made hair transplants virtually undetectable so you can forget the obsolete ‘plugs’ or ‘doll head’ look. Transplanted hair looks natural wet or dry, can be styled the way you like it, and is yours to enjoy for a lifetime.”
Your Hair Transplant Experience with Medici Capelli in Brisbane and the Gold Coast
Here at our clinic in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, we make it our aim to ensure you not only receive the best of medical care but also enjoy your short experience with us in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
You start the day with Dr Leat reviewing your situation, explaining the whole process thoroughly and answering any questions you may have. You are then given some oral sedatives to help you relax and slow any anxiety you may be experiencing.
Local anaesthetic is given to the donor and recipient areas.
Follicles are carefully harvested from the back of the head via FUE or FUT method. Either way there is no discomfort during the hair transplants procedure. This area is not usually visible later as the existing hair covers it very well.
The grafts are then skilfully placed into the recipient areas. While this procedure is in progress, you can watch movies, read or take a nap.
Post-operative instructions are given and your hair transplant is complete.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is hair transplantation?
Hair transplantation is the movement of one’s own hair follicles from one part of the scalp to another. Hair transplants cannot be donated by another person as they would be rejected by the body’s immune system. Once in their new location, the follicles grow completely normal hair which often look stronger and healthier than surrounding existing hairs and grow for a lifetime. Hair transplants can be performed in men and women, and even eye-brows and eyelashes can be transplanted.
What is FUT?
Follicular Unit Transplant is a style of hair transplanting where a strip method extraction is used along with grafts being separated into Follicular Units i.e. grafts contain 1, 2 or 3 hairs in the same manner they naturally group together in the scalp.
What is FUE?
Follicular Unit Extraction is a style of hair transplanting where the extraction of the grafts is done by a small punch type instrument, harvesting the grafts in their natural groups of hairs.
Where are the hair follicles taken from?
Usually, the donor area is located at the back or sides of the head where the hair follicles have a different genetic code and tend to produce full-size hairs over a person’s lifetime. Even when these follicles are transplanted into an area of baldness, they retain their hair growing qualities.
I’ve seen some unsightly results – how are things different today?
Gone are the days when hair transplants were large, tuft-like and unnatural looking. Today the grafts consist of between 1 and 4 hairs each and even with close inspection, look completely natural.
How long does it take?
Hair transplantation is an exacting procedure, involving a team of technicians and the surgeon. The procedure can take around 3 to 6 hours, depending on the number of grafts transplanted and the area and quality of the recipient area.
How many grafts can be transplanted in one session?
The smallest session is 500 grafts and the largest we prefer to do is 4000 grafts. Technically there is no limit to the number of grafts that can be transplanted in one session but we believe that in the larger “mega-sessions”, which some Doctors advocate, the yield drops and patient comfort is reduced. It is safer and easier to plan for medium size sessions so any small areas where further grafts are required can be handled in the scheduled treatment program.
How many grafts do I need?
This of course depends on the area of hair loss that needs to be covered. For example, about 500 to 1500 grafts could be used to fill in receded temple areas. A person with dark hair and light skin colour may need more grafts than someone with less contrast.
How thick can my new hair be with transplants?
As a guide, about 500 grafts can be placed in an area about the size of your little finger, depending how loosely they are packed. Once they have grown, further grafts can be placed into the spaces between the new follicles, bringing about further hair density. This process can be repeated until the hair density is quite thick, as the latest transplant techniques cause little or no harm to existing follicles.
Hair transplantation can never create hair as dense as your own, original hair but does give a very natural looking appearance.
Some hair transplant centres claim that they can restore 98% of a natural hairline or give their patients a full head of thick hair. In most cases, these claims are simply not true.
Consider this: If a dense grafting session is performed in the temple areas to treat early thinning (recession), this may lock the patient into further dense (i.e. expensive) sessions when further hair loss occurs. If the donor area becomes depleted, the patient may have insufficient hair to complete the program with an even hair distribution.
What will I look like after the treatment?
Right after the treatment, your scalp will be red and slightly swollen.
Will I have a large bald spot at the back of my head?
No. The technique we use in FUT to remove the donor strip and the shape of the strip, gives an excellent result that is barely noticeable. FUE method will leave small, round marks, once again, barely noticeable. The existing hair will cover any markings very well. The back of the head does not alter shape due to the amount of elasticity in the skin.
How long does it take for the new hair to grow?
Sometimes follicles may need 3-4 months to rest before they start growing, however, in some cases, growth is not apparent until 6 months with continued thickening for 12 months. The use of Minoxidil Solution and/or Propecia Tablets is highly recommended before and after the procedure. Minoxidil – to assist in more rapid hair growth and Propecia/Finasteride – to assist in halting further hair loss.
How soon can I return to work?
Most patients find that they can return to work the next day after the procedure. Occasionally there may be some slight bruising or swelling around the forehead that may need 1 or 2 days to resolve. Hard exercise and gym work can be progressively resumed 2 days after the procedure, with unrestricted activity allowed after 2 weeks.
Do I need any special care after this procedure?
The new grafts need to be protected and treated gently for about 10 days after the procedure. In most cases, the scalp can be gently washed the day after the procedure. Medici Capelli will recommend some professional hair care products and some medication to help boost follicle growth and keep the treated area and all of your hair looking its very best.
Can I have more procedures at a later date?
Yes. It is surprising just how much the back and side areas of your scalp can yield yet still give a totally natural look. A number of procedures can be performed, depending on the quality and amount of hair the donor area has.

Though Jim Henson died several years ago, his legacy lives on, and on this Thanksgiving, that’s what the geek is me is thankful for.
The splashiest part of that, of course, is “The Muppets,” now showing at movie theaters. While I did have some issues with it, I can say it’s a hoot, and everyone who’s ever been a Muppet fan should go see it.
But what made this week extra special was attending a screening of the original “The Muppet Movie” at the Detroit Film Theatre, preceded by a kid-friendly dinner and the chance to see the Detroit Institute of Arts’ own Kermit, donated to the museum by Henson himself. He’s rarely put on display, and I’ve never been that close to a real Kermit.
A friend of mine had gotten us tickets to the event, and he was running late. I was like a little kid bouncing up and down nervously, afraid we’d miss it and Kermit would walk away before I had the chance to meet him.
I watched “Muppets Take Manhattan” recently, but it had been several years since I last saw “The Muppet Movie.” And between the two, it made the flaws in the new “The Muppets” more glaringly obvious.
But that’s not to say you shouldn’t see it. It’s hysterical in parts. The songs are catchy (I’m still singing the big opening number). It was obviously made by people who genuinely love the Muppets — but have never worked with them and don’t know how to utilize them to their full potential.
The story is simple. Walter, a new character, grew up obsessed with the Muppets. Jason Segel plays his brother, Gary. When Gary and his longtime girlfriend Mary (a delightful Amy Adams) plan a 10th anniversary trip to Los Angeles, they take Walter with them so he can visit the Muppet Studios.
Only an oil baron is threatening the studios and the Muppet Theater, which have fallen into disrepair, intending to tear the theater down to get to the oil beneath it. Only by getting the gang back together and holding a telethon to raise $10 million can Kermit save the theater — and bring the Muppets back to the national stage, where they so rightly belong.
It’s that old let’s-put-on-a-show manic spirit and the theme of following your dreams that have been with the Muppets since the first film that propel the movie.
And you know what? I was going to air my grievances, but I don’t think I will. For any flaws “The Muppets” has, it’s made up for by the fact that it exists at all. They’re balanced out by moments of awesomeness, and I don’t want to risk someone not seeing this movie because of something I wrote.
Go see it! I have the sinking feeling that the future of the Muppets hinges on the success of this movie. That if it doesn’t do well, Disney will assume no one cares and mothball the characters. Don’t let that happen! Go see it! Now! (OK, you can have Thanksgiving dinner first, but please go sometime this weekend.)
But, wait — that’s not all!
Henson’s legacy is also being brought to life by comic book publishing company Archaia. Not only have they been doing a great job with the “Fraggle Rock” comics, but they have three special projects due in December.
These books have been delayed for a while, but if they make their December due dates, Henson lovers are in for some very happy holidays.
First off, we’re getting “The Storyteller” on Dec. 7. Like the old TV show, it’s an anthology of tales from around the world. One of them is based on an unproduced screenplay by Oscar-winning director Anthony Minghella, who wrote for the original series.
On Dec. 14, we should be getting “Tale of Sand,” based on an unproduced movie screenplay by Henson himself and Muppet collaborator Jerry Juhl. According to Archaia, the book “follows scruffy everyman Mac, who wakes up in an unfamiliar town, and is chased across the desert of the American Southwest by all manners of man and beast of unimaginable proportions.” The art looks stunning.
Then, on Dec. 21, we’re due “The Dark Crystal: Creation Myths.” The original story is set 1,000 years before the Crystal cracked. The plot, cover, character designs and art direction are by original “Dark Crystal” designer (and much-loved fantasy artist) Brian Froud.
I can’t tell you how excited I am by these three projects. And Archaia’s PR people are probably sick of me asking when they’ll be coming out.
You can find free previews of all three at the links I provided.
AND there’s talk of a new sitcom from the Jim Henson Co. It won’t involve the Muppets, which are owned by Disney, but the proposed NBC Show will be about a family who moves into a Palm Springs home only to discover that their neighbors are a family of puppets.
