News in Church Issues
by:	Fr Amado L. Picardal CSsR - La Croix International in Church Issues, Tue, Jul 9th 2019
Priests should be able to mutually affirm and appreciate the good things that they are doing and to admonish those who fail to live up to the ideals of the priesthood whether informally or formally — during meetings and recollections. There is a need to develop a corporate culture among the clergy where everyone is encouraged and inspired to live up to the high standards of the priesthood and those whose behavior is inappropriate or sinful can be corrected.
Philippine bishop wants laypeople to administer dioceses
by:	Joe Torres, Manila - UCAN in Church Issues, Sun, Jul 7th 2019
"I think and I feel that it's high time for us bishops to leave the administration of the diocese to competent laity or religious persons," said the bishop. Bishop de Leon said the prelates should instead focus their attention on "praying, preaching and new evangelization."
Broken trust in a broken clerical system
by:	Robert Mickens, Rome - La Croix International in Church Issues, Fri, Jul 5th 2019
A priest friend predicted some 15 or more years ago that the next big scandal or crisis in the Church would be of a financial nature. He was speaking of a clerical system that puts "Father" in charge of everything – even the parish purse strings. Thank God the Catholic Church has as many good and honest priests as it does. Because it sure calls for heroism to be good in a very bad and broken clericalist system where "Father knows best" and the people are expected to do what he tells them.

by:	Christa Pongratz-Lippitt, Vienna - La Croix International in Church Issues, Tue, Jul 2nd 2019

The European and American Catholic divide
by:	Massimo Faggioli - La Croix International in Church Issues, Sat, Jun 15th 2019
The anti-European sentiment running in the veins of the U.S. Catholic hard right has put Trump's "Make America great again" on the geopolitical map of the Church. Trumpism has penetrated the body of American Christianity and that means the future of the global Catholic community is now an open question.

by:	La Croix International staff - United States in Church Issues, Sat, Jun 8th 2019

When the Bishop of Rome speaks to his diocese, people should listen
by:	Robert Mickens, Rome - La Croix International in Church Issues, Fri, May 31st 2019
Pope Francis' most recent address to Rome's diocesan assembly did not make many headlines. But it should have. And here's why. This is all a rather long preface to the May 9 visit Pope Francis made to St. John Lateran, where he gave an important – but somewhat overlooked – address to Rome's diocesan assembly. Because this was another one of those talks where the pope spoke freely and prophetically about his vision for a renewed, missionary Church.

by:	Claire Lesegretain - La Croix International in Church Issues, Mon, May 13th 2019

Moreover, you only need to see the extent to which the pope's words evoked strong reactions to realize that this is a crucial matter.

Rethinking the diversity of ministries to overcome clericalism
by:	Isabelle de Gaulmyn, Strasbourg - La Croix International in Church Issues, Fri, May 10th 2019
A conference organized by the Strasbourg Faculty of Theology has examined several possibilities for re-balancing the power of priests and lay people.

Q: Picturebox, SizeMode Zoom and padding It is possible to set SizeMode Zoom and apply padding?
The following will work:
    ibPic2DLeft.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.Normal;
    ibPic2DLeft.Padding = new Padding(100, 100, 50, 50);

The following will not work:
        ibPic2DLeft.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.Zoom;
        ibPic2DLeft.Padding = new Padding(100, 100, 50, 50);

What are the alternatives of padding that are compatible with zoom?

A: Put the PictureBox inside a Panel.
Set the PictureBox to Dock=Fill.
Set PictureBox SizeMode=Zoom.
Apply Padding to the Panel.

A: you can better go for this approach, when your image size is less than the size of the picture box, you can use normal mode and when your picture size is bigger than picture box you can use zoom mode. This is the best dynamic approach i found for my application solution in past.
Image oImg = yourImage;

if ((oImg.Height > ibPic2DLeft.Height | oImg.Width > ibPic2DLeft.Width)) {
    ibPic2DLeft.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.Normal;
} else {
    ibPic2DLeft.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.Zoom;

What makes a houses for sale in orange Cordova?
Ordinary Variety Of Days on the Market (DOM) If homes in your area regularly sell within a week or two, your location is likely a seller's market. If they typically remain on 60 days or more, you are most likely in a purchaser's market. The longer houses remain on the market, the much less power vendors have in that market. Certainly examine this number particularly for the one mile radius surrounding your home various communities in the exact same town or communities in the same metro location can have substantially various DOM averages.
Figure out just what you could manage and after that you could back into every little thing else. We know the cash you have offered to put down, we understand the regular monthly settlement and also we could resolve (the formula) for the 3rd variable and that is the residence cost, Winesburg states.

So it makes good sense to do it best and also recognize exactly what you're entering first. Think about obtaining a free lawful assessment from a real estate lawyer today.
Initially, check out numerous other home sales in the location. Is your house you prefer valued relatively in contrast? Did various other homes sell for less or more than the asking expense? That's an excellent sign you ought to be providing a number close to asking if they offered for an amount that's comparable to your seller's sticker label cost.
Suggestion: As with any type of acquisition deal, a house customer's best option is to depend on the comparable sales then subtract for the work that is required, based upon actual estimates from certified specialists. You could need to pay checklist rate to purchase a residence that requires job if that adjusted rate lines up with the detailed rate.
Making A Deal On A House Just How Much Reduced Just how much earnest money suffices and also how much is excessive? That depends. The general rule is usually between 5 and also 10 percent of the residence cost. Bear in mind that you can shed the cash if the offer falls through, so its vital not to put up so much that youd be destroyed if you shed the cash money. On the other hand, the a lot more you take down, the a lot more the seller could see that you are committed to the deal as well as youve got the financial resources to show it. In most cases, when a prospective purchaser has actually handed over down payment, she or he will certainly stop checking out other residential properties and the vendor will quit revealing their house also.
Making An Offer On A House By Email Nonetheless, unscientific proof is viewed as undependable for a reason, um, because it is. First, the stories you hear are always filtered through the teller's screen of their own biases and commonly limited understanding of market dynamics. Second, what could hold true in your total market may not be true for the particular area, area or the price section in which you are house hunting.

What To Deal On A House Canada To reveal that a deal is significant as well as made in good belief, it's conventional for the prospective residence buyer to accompany it with a look for a small amount-- usually a tiny percentage of the purchase price-- referred to as an "down payment deposit." The quantity of the earnest money deposit differs by state, yet is normally in the variety of 1-2% of the purchase rate.
Making A Deal On A House By Email Get a relative market evaluation (CMA). Tepilo or your existing estate representative can carry out the CMA in your place so you do not obtain shed in a maze of property jargon as well as statistics. Basically, what youre trying to find is exactly how the home youre interested in compares with other similar homes in the area. Elements include square footage, the number of washrooms as well as bedrooms, offered costs vs. sale price and average sales prices. Completion outcome is an exact estimate of the homes real worth.

It isn't really hard to envision, however, how a rational person could turn into a starry-eyed pipeline daydreamer when it pertains to marketing a home. After investing years in a residence, as well as spending heavily in it, it does not seem unreasonable to think that all the care that has actually entered into a residence will certainly raise its worth. However veteran brokers say the biggest blunder residence vendors make is perplexing the cost or expenses with home worth.
What To Offer On A House In Today's Market In general, making a lowball deal on a residence is dangerous if you actually like the area. If you go too low you run the risk of estranging the seller or shedding out to other customers, making a low deal can be a terrific way to get negotiations started but. If youre making a deal on a brief sale, the sale will go through quicker if you could make an all-cash offer. Whatever you make a decision to offer, its important to do some market research on sale costs of comparable houses in the area so you have realities to back up your offer.

Migrant and Refugee Sunday
This week, the Catholic Church in Australia will be celebrating the contribution Migrants have made in our communities. This week-long celebration culminates with Migrant and Refugee Sunday, on 27th August 2017.
Each year the Universal Church commemorates the contribution migrants have made to our communities. The Catholic Bishops of Australia have selected the last Sunday in August each year to be the date where Masses are celebrated for the enrichment these communities have provided in the Church.
Every year, for over 100 years, the Holy Father has chosen a theme to be the focal point during these celebrations. For 2017, the message for the 103rd World Day of Migrants and Refugees, Pope Francis chose the theme, "Child Migrants, the Vulnerable and the Voiceless".
Pope Francis draws our attention to the needs of child migrants globally. He encourages by pointing out that, "Each person is precious; persons are more important than things, and the worth of an institution is measured by the way it treats the life and dignity of human beings, particularly when they are vulnerable, as in the case of child migrants."
In Australia, schools and parishes have many successful programs that have assisted in the integration of migrants. The Australian Catholic Migrant and Refugee Office (ACMRO) has produced a Migrant Kit, a parish and school resource to assist in the celebrations. Contained are stories of resilience and success in the integration of migrant communities in Australia. Copies of the kit have been sent to schools and dioceses, and electronic copies are available for download on the ACMRO website, www.acmro.catholic.org.au.


After some big guarantees by President Donald Trump that his revised trade agreement between the U.S. and North America neighbors Canada and Mexico would be hailed as a win, early indicators from U.S.-based food and beverage organizations seem to support him.
The rebranding of NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement) to USMCA (U.S. Mexico-Canada Agreement), which still must be ratified by all three countries, has critics in many U.S. industries; however, the food and beverage industry doesn't appear to be one of them.
If approved, tariffs on agricultural products traded between the U.S. and Mexico would be removed altogether.
Richard Owen, vice president of global membership and engagement for the Produce Marketing Association (PMA), says the organization sees the deal as positive and hopes to see it ratified by all three countries as soon as possible.
Furthermore, Owen notes the six-year review and 16-year duration of the agreement offers confidence for future investment to further build and expand trade among the countries in regards to fresh produce and floral products.
Geoff Freeman, president and CEO of the Grocery Manufacturers Association, released a statement on behalf of the organization praising the trilateral deal, calling it a victory for American consumers and an important step in building the world's strongest trading partnership.
Tom Stenzel, president and CEO of the United Fresh Produce Association, also released a statement in support of the proposed agreement and noted United Fresh looks forward to working with Congress to achieve the swift approval of the deal.
The USMCA is also expected to help the soy industry. The American Soybean Association (ASA) released figures that almost $3 billion in exports were made to Canada and Mexico last year, and the organization was looking for the new agreement to stabilize the U.S.'s two neighboring export markets for growers and keep the export numbers high.
"Our soybean harvest this year is large, and we are facing great uncertainty in China, so a modernized NAFTA is timely and beneficial for our farmers and rural communities," John Heisdorffer, ASA's president, said in a prepared statement.
The new agreement is not without its concerns. For instance, some PMA members had hoped for provisions on seasonal products such as tomatoes and peppers, and are hoping that this will still be considered before the final deal is signed.
And while the U.S. dairy industry is pleased with the increase of dairy exports to Canada from 3 percent to 3.59 percent, though once the threshold is reached, tariffs rise considerably, Canadian dairy farmers are very upset.

A: You're saying that you've set images in homepage admin, so I guess you're using static page as homepage... In such case you can use this code to show these images anywhere else on your site:

            <?php if ( have_rows( 'gaimages', get_option('page_on_front') ) ): ?>

                <?php
                    while ( have_rows( 'gaimages', get_option('page_on_front') ) ) :
                        the_row();
                        $image = get_sub_field('images');
                        $text = get_sub_field('text12');
                        $text11 = "Hai Tst";
                ?>

                            <img src="<?php echo $image['url']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $image['alt'] ?>">

                                <?php echo $text; ?>

Q: Can Excel VBA listen for Javascript events in acrobat? I have a project in which I use Excel VBA to operate on a global variable which is defined (and frequently changed) in Acrobat Javascript.
All of the individual routines and functions in this project work as intended, but I am having some trouble with my event handling.
Basically, I need to execute a VBA routine whenever the value of the JS global variable is changed. I can do this now using a time loop in VBA (wait x seconds, test if the jso.global.variable has changed, execute code if true, test again in x seconds if false), but this seems clumsy and slow.
Is it possible to do the same thing more quickly and efficiently using some sort of native event handler in either VBA or JS?
(Alternatively, I could also solve my issue if I could somehow call a VBA routine from Acrobat JS directly, but it does not appear that this is possible -- please correct me if this is wrong.)

Will Assembly GOP Allow Raid on Public Education to Benefit Unaccountable Private School Voucher Program?
Pro-Voucher Special Interests Have Spent Lavishly to Install Legislators Willing to Put Their Agenda Before Best Interests of Public Schools, Wisconsin Families
MADISON, Wis. — Will the State Assembly give approval to a scheme to raid funds directly from K-12 public schools to fund an unlimited and unaccountable private school voucher program in the state budget? One Wisconsin Now Executive Director Scot Ross noted that a cabal of wealthy donors has made millions in campaign contributions and the pro-voucher front group the American Federation for Children has spent heavily in State Assembly races to elect legislators willing to give preferential treatment to the unaccountable private school voucher program.
"The private school voucher special interests have spent millions on state legislative races in anticipation of today," said Ross. "Instead of making up for the record cuts to K-12 public education that have hurt schools across the state, Assembly Republicans are opening up the state checkbook for unaccountable private voucher schools and draining resources directly out of public schools.
The voucher program that pays to send children to private schools snagged over $200 million from state taxpayers in the last school year. Independent research has consistently shown students participating in the voucher program have no higher levels of achievement than their peers in public schools.
Under the terms of the 2015 state budget the voucher program would be allowed to operate statewide and enrollment limits would be lifted. According to the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau up to $800 million that could have otherwise gone to public schools will be diverted to pick up the tab for students, many of whom were already attending private schools, through the voucher program.
Since 2008 a cabal of donors, many of whom are extreme right wing millionaires and billionaires from out-of-state, have showered Wisconsin politicians and PACs with over $4 million in contributions. Current Republican Assembly Representatives benefitting from these wealthy donors include: Rep Murtha – $4,850; Rep. Czaja – $6,125; Rep. Tranel – $14,850; Rep. Brooks – $1,250; Rep. Larson – $6,050; Rep. Bernier – $10,900; Rep. Krug – $4,375; Rep. Petryk – $5,250; and Rep. Nerison $6,750.
In addition to direct contributions from wealthy donors, the education privatization front group the American Federation for Children (AFC), headed by disgraced former Assembly Speaker Scott Jensen, has spent massively to pack the Assembly with legislators amenable to spending more taxpayer dollars on the program without demanding more accountability. In the 2014 legislative elections AFC reported spending at least $850,000 on 20 targeted seats.
The top 2014 beneficiaries include Rep. Dave Heaton ($148,858), Rep. Todd Novak ($122,995), Rep. Scott Krug ($76,079), Rep. John Macco ($38,801) and Rep. Nancy VanderMeer ($25,050).
The 2012 elections also featured the heavy hand of AFC seeking to influence elections to advance their legislative agenda. In 2011 and 2012 AFC reported spending over $2.3 million in Wisconsin, including $25,000 on behalf of Rep. Kathy Bernier.
Ross concluded, "The pro-voucher special interests have spent big money to buy themselves a legislature willing to do their bidding. It's Wisconsin's families and children in public schools paying the price when Assembly Republicans vote to serve their political benefactors instead of the best interests of the state."

This is Emmerson. You've seen her before if you follow my work ( See her newborn session HERE) and you KNOW she is small bundle of just pure sweetness, fabulous hair (which makes sense considering her mom is a hair goddess) and sweet expressions. Her demeanor is just lovely. And I know she's still little... but you can really tell a little one's personality when they are so young and fresh. And she has a sweet personality. With a touch of sass and spice.
This session was a quick one (I kid you not... 20 minutes in my studio total) to grab her 6 month milestone. Which is important! Cause 6 months is such a pivotal time in a little ones first year... they are usually sitting up unassisted now, their little personality is shining through and through and you are finally able to grab a shower that lasts more than 1 minute! 6 months is such a fun age too- giggles, belly laughs, tears, likes and dislikes, friendships... all of them melt into one little perfect person.


the human identity depends on culture, language, and environment. Everyone has a unique identity. I grew up in China, but because of fate I came to another culture and saw many new things. I discarded traditions in order to adapt to a new life, but I lost something of myself. Therefore, I have decided to use the traditions that I grew up with, and integrate those traditions with modern methods. this is the world I plan to illustrate in my art.

Ericsson, T-Mobile, and Qualcomm data session success takes step towards delivering 5G on low-band spectrum
Ericsson has again proven its 5G leadership by working with major industry partners to achieve a significant test landmark towards the launch of commercial 5G on low-band spectrum. T-Mobile's lab in Bellevue, Washington, was the scene of the success when Ericsson, T-Mobile, and Qualcomm Technologies completed the world's first low-band 5G-New Radio (NR) data session on a commercial 5G modem.
5G #T-Mobile #Qualcomm #low-bandspectrum
The data session was conducted on 600 MHz band – the same spectrum T-Mobile plans to use to build is nationwide 5G network in the U.S.
The partner companies conducted the data session on a mobile test device powered by second-generation Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ X55 5G modem with integrated Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and RF Front-End (RFFE) solution, and commercial 5G radios from the Ericsson Radio System.
Neville Ray, Chief Technology Officer, T-Mobile, says: "This is key step toward achieving our vision of 5G for All. This modem will power devices that tap into the 600 MHz low-band spectrum we're using to blanket the country with 5G."
Cristiano Amon, President, Qualcomm Incorporated, says the data call marks a significant milestone in 5G's ongoing rollout across the United States, paving the way for the launch of commercial networks and devices on low-band FDD spectrum.
"This call demonstrates the ability to dramatically increase 5G's global footprint and we look forward to continuing our work with industry leaders like Ericsson and T-Mobile to unlock the full potential of 5G for consumers and new industries around the world," Amon says.
Fredrik Jejdling, Executive Vice President, Head of Business Area Networks, Ericsson, says: "Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies have successfully tested and commercialized 5G globally across different spectrum bands and, together with T-Mobile, we have now reached another major milestone as we are enabling 5G on low bands. This shows that our industry is now ready for building wider 5G coverage that will enhance end-user experience."

Lesson 1 Teams and Inviting Clients
What is a Team?
Teams for Accounting Professionals
Switching Between Teams
Teams are groups of users that work together and in most cases, a Team will represent a company or organization. Each team will have individual users we call Team Members. Think of Teams as a workspace for organizing and collaborating on all data that a business generates across different marketplaces, retailers, POS systems, payment providers and shopping cart programs.
Teams are designed to:
Allow multiple users in an organization to share accounts, collaborate and export transactions.
Provide an easy way for you to switch between multiple teams - perfect for accounting professionals.
Create a subscription in the name of your company.
For accounting professionals, you'll set up each client with their own individual Team. For accounting professionals, the first team we create is in the name of your practice and will be identified as a FIRM. Firms will have access to features and capabilities that are designed to make the life of accounting professionals easier.
If you are an accounting practice but not identified as a Firm in Greenback, click Settings >> Teams. Find the "Introducing Greenback for Pros" near the top of the page then click Get Started.
To create a new team:
Click the drop-down menu next to your name and then select Create New Team. OR
Navigate to Settings >> Teams.
Select the Create Team button.

Partitioning Iraq: Make a Detailed Case, or Cease and Desist
The Sinjar Resistance Units, an offshoot of a leftist Kurdish organization, and Abdulkhaleq al-Jarba, a Arab tribal militia, have opened up a new front against Islamic State militants in northern Iraq, April 30, 2016

Iraq is once again in political turmoil, and once again we are hearing calls to partition the country into three ethno-sectarian cantonments: Shi'a, Sunni, and Kurd. The partition trope resurfaces periodically, most often while Iraq looks "too hard to fix." Advocates of partition suggest that Iraq is a false construct of the century-old Sykes-Picot treaty, and that Iraqis are incapable of sustaining a heterogeneous state. Putting aside the fact that the Sykes-Picot narrative is at best contested, it is time to put the partition trope to the test and then, hopefully, to rest. The mostly non-Iraqi voices who want to divide the country into thirds owe the Iraqi people and the rest of the world extensive, detailed clarification. Surely, any plan to drastically restructure Iraq must be more thoughtful and detailed than the widely condemned 2003 plan to invade Iraq. At the very least, advocates for partition should address some fundamental questions. If they cannot answer these satisfactorily then they should pause before reissuing what many Iraqis view as disheartening, and even inflammatory, positions about their state.
First, who wants to break the state into three parts, either under "loose federalism" or as separate states? There appears to be no evidence that the current Sunni revolt seeks sectarian partition. Other than the outlying Islamic State terrorists, Sunni Arab Iraqis want to be part of and, in some cases to control, the state. Most Sunni Arabs I have spoken with are terrified by the idea of partition. It does not appear that leaders from Iraq's powerful Da'wa party, or even Muqtada al-Sadr, seek partition. While the two major Kurdish parties—the PUK and the KDP—do seek eventual partition or confederation for themselves, and while the head of the PUK has suggested three way partition, neither party has pushed hard for this solution and neither party can claim to represent Iraqi Arab interests. Arguments for partition cannot be predicated on the idea that this is what the Iraqis want. If Iraqis do eventually seek three-way partition, then there is no need to advocate the position, as they will get there of their own accord....

oraco was established in 2006 by Dr Moore and his team. Since then they have built up a loyal, ever expanding patient base through the provision of high quality, patient friendly and painless dental care.
As a group we believe prevention is better than cure and this is our philosophy. This has been recognised by oraco achieving several accolades including the British Dental Associations Good Practice Scheme Award, which is attained only once a practice achieves and maintains the highest standards of patient care.

Legislative Director Mary Dixon Profiled
June 1, 2011 - 3:42pm
Don't miss the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin's great profile of ACLU of Illinois Legislative Director Mary Dixon (subscription required). Titled "Dixon keeps 'hope alive'" it describes her amazing work over 19 years of representing the ACLU in Springfield:
It was a veto session and while the timing may have been right, Mary E. Dixon wasn't convinced the bill to repeal the state's death penalty was going to survive.
"I was probably one of the naysayers of the group," the longtime legislative director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois said of the coalition that pushed the repeal. "It was difficult for me to believe that [lawmakers would] do the right thing on this because of the difficulty, in part, politically of such a vote."
Dixon, however, must have kept her concerns to herself because those who lobbied the controversial bill alongside her said she was the one who brightened the group's spirits when things looked bleak.
"Everyone was discouraged when we were stuck on 58 votes for three weeks and she kept saying 'We can do this,' " said James R. Covington III, who, as the legislative director of the Illinois State Bar Association, worked closely with Dixon and several other lobbyists to further the efforts of the Illinois Coalition Against the Death Penalty.
"She kept everyone's heads above water," Covington said. "She kept hope alive."
Dixon's ability to stay positive is just one of the many reasons her colleagues say she has earned such a great reputation in her nearly 20 years as the ACLU's top lobbyist.
Aside from her work on the death penalty repeal and the civil unions bill, which the ACLU drafted, Dixon has played an integral role in the passage of numerous measures dealing with criminal justice, free speech, juvenile, privacy, reproductive rights and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues.
John Peller, director of government relations for the AIDS Foundation of Chicago, is one of the handful of lobbyists the ACLU regularly collaborates with.
In fact, she kind of trained him. Peller said over the years, Dixon has been nice enough to train about three generations of AIDS Foundation lobbyists.
"She's been doing this for so long and has that persuasive demeanor that speaks from a place of knowledge and confidence," he said. "I wish I could bottle Mary's skills."
They are currently lobbying for the passage of the sex education bill. He said she is knowledgeable, persistent and strategic, not to mention a pro at forming partnerships.
Covington agreed, saying that Dixon is like a good coach, who is "good at putting people in positions where they can make plays."
He also agreed with Peller on Dixon's persistence.
"I have hidden from her before," Covington said with a laugh, referring to a few instances in which he didn't want to team up with the ACLU on an issue. "She always tracks me down."

The Founders Journal is published four times a year, highlighting pertinent theological and ecclesiological issues.

There Are Two Sides To Trinidad and Tobago But This Man Wants Us To Look At The Good Side
byMoses Jameson
Crime in Trinidad
The Vice documentary, Corruption, Cocaine and Murder in Trinidad, posted on Youtube has been getting alot of attention. Probably not the attention that most Trinidadians would like.
Alias Kan wants the world to know that Trinidad and Tobago is still the best country in the world. Watch as he makes a passionate plea for people to look at the positive side of his country.
He seems to acknowledge that there is a problem and that the documentary covered the issues well and accurately. With regard to the 600 murders per year, he says "its between idiots mostly".
You can check out Alias Kan Facebook Page or his youtube channel, The Adventures of Alias .

One can only wonder what Robert Louis Stevenson would say about the Muppets toying around with his classic tale of pirates on the high seas, but it's not hard to guess what kids will say: "Can we see it again, mommy?"
"Muppet Treasure Island" is at least as much fun as earlier Muppet movies, and certainly more clever and engaging than their low point, "The Muppets Take Manhattan."
Occasional topical references (Henry Kissinger's "Diplomacy" is found in a chest while looking for the treasure map) will keep adults amused on a higher level while their inner child -- and the kids they brought to see the movie -- have a ball laughing at some usual and some not-so-usual Muppet antics.
"Muppet Treasure Island" is, of course, the story of young Jim Hawkins (British youngster Kevin Bishop) and his adventures aboard a ship sailing for buried treasure.
Squire Trelawney, the benefactor who sponsors the trip, is played by Fozzie Bear as a bit of a loon (big surprise) who believes someone named Mr. Bimbo lives in his index finger to give him advise. Kermit the Frog is Captain Smollett, the leader of the expedition.
The traitorous Long John Silver, a vicious pirate who poses as the ship's cook until he gets his hands on Jim's map and leads a mutiny, is played with such joie de vive by Tim Curry that it's abundantly clear he is having the time of his life.
Curry hasn't been in a musical since "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and he takes this opportunity to sing and dance, and runs with it. Of course, "Rocky" fans will be flashing back to him in a teddy and fishnets, but that's part of the fun for him.
"Muppet Treasure Island" opens with Jim and his buddies Rizzo the Rat and Gonzo working for table scraps at the inn of a matron played by Jennifer Saunders of "Absolutely Fabulous" fame.
After being given a treasure map by a dying pirate (cockney comedian Billy Connolly), Jim talks Fozzie into bankrolling the trip to find the pirate's buried gold.
While in route to Treasure Island the story lags and a poorly planned production number, "Cabin Fever," is brought in to prop it up. Not only does it look like it was added at the last minute, but comes out of nowhere with lighting and costumes like a Las Vegas show, throwing off the pace of the movie and inspiring a chorus of "Why are there spotlights on a pirate ship, mommy?"
Once on the island Kermit, Jim and friends are captured by native cannibal pigs who, it turns out, worship a previously shipwrecked Miss Piggy (as Benjimina Gunn), who is an old girlfriend of Captain Smollet.
Part of the fun here is seeing how the story has been altered to fit the cast and where director Brian Henson (son of the late Jim Henson, creator of the Muppets) manages to fit the various Muppets in to the story.
Beeker and his scientist cohort are researchers employed by Fozzie. The cynical old men from the balcony of "The Muppet Show" on TV are at the bow of the ship in place of the traditional masthead (and of course they poke fun at the script throughout). The Swiss chef is a cook for the cannibals ("How else were we going to get him in the movie?" someone asks the camera). Every famous Muppet shows up somewhere, but unlike its predecessors, this Muppet movie doesn't have a parade of human guest stars -- Curry is it.
With the exception of the weak set-up for "Cabin Fever," the songs in "Muppet Treasure Island" are clever and hummable and there are regular hilarious highlights, like a fight scene in which Gonzo uses star fish as throwing stars and a love song sung by Piggy and Kermit while they're being hung upside-down off a cliff by Long John Silver.
A word or warning however -- parents might not want to take very small children to this movie. It is, surprisingly, a little dark and violent in places (explosions and fire, not blood and guts). But it is also, not surprisingly, a heck of a lot of fun.
