Holiday Market in Setauket canceled
by Heidi Sutton - November 24, 2020
With much regret, Gallery North, the Three Village Historical Society, and the Jazz Loft are canceling the Holiday Markets scheduled for Nov. 28, Dec. 5, 12 and 19. "After closely monitoring the news regarding the renewed spread of COVID-19, we feel strongly that avoiding this sizable public event is advisable at this time. Gallery North, the Three Village Historical Society, and the Jazz Loft all remain committed to the health and safety of our community, and do apologize for any inconvenience. We would like to thank all our sponsors for their support and all the artists, makers, and entrepreneurs who expressed interest in this holiday event," they said in a statement.

The holiday season is fast approaching, and it's time to start thinking about that shopping list. But before you visit those online retailers and big box stores, consider supporting local businesses hit hard by this year's closures and safety restrictions.
In the Three Village area, Gallery North has teamed up with their neighbors at The Jazz Loft and Three Village Historical Society for a festive holiday experience that has a little something for everyone on your list.
Each year, Gallery North celebrates local artists with Deck the Halls, a group exhibit and art sale. Now through Dec. 20, visitors can admire the work of more than 70 artists covering a variety of subjects and media. The sale includes over 100 pieces of art, with a range of prices making it easy to find a unique gift that fits any budget.
This year, Gallery North executive director Ned Puchner was eager to put together a larger, yet safe and festive event that could bring the community together again.
"Frankly, a lot of people are still understandably concerned about going out and shopping," said Puchner. "We had a lot of success with the Farmers and Makers Markets over the summer, and one of our board members joked that while she didn't do hot weather, she'd volunteer in a heartbeat for a winter event."
The idea grew from there. Puchner reached out to Steve Healy, president of the Three Village Historical Society, and Tom Manuel, founder of The Jazz Loft, brainstorming ways they could collaborate.
They were inspired by the beautiful, timeless holiday markets in New York City, and decided to transform the historical society grounds into a marketplace of their own. The outdoor marketplace will open for four Saturdays after Thanksgiving, allowing local artists and vendors to set up shop in a festively decorated atmosphere.
Browse the gallery store for paintings, photography and sculptures, then shop outdoors for handcrafted pottery, jewelry, wood and metal creations, clothing, glassware, spice blends and much more.
Along the way, grab a bite to eat and some dessert or warm up with a hot drink from local food trucks.
"Throughout the pandemic we've been encouraging people to shop local and support local businesses as much as possible, because everyone is struggling. We can't help everyone, but we all have ways we can chip in," said Healy. "[The local organizations] have a great rapport, and we're always looking for new ways that we can support one another."
The Jazz Loft's Equity Brass Band will perform a wide selection of New Orleans jazz standards along with jazzed-up versions of holiday classics. You'll find them playing in their tent and parading through the grounds on market days as weather permits.
Over the summer, you may have seen the band marching through the streets on one of their Spirit Tours — musical appearances meant to uplift the community and provide cultural enrichment in a time where entertainment has been difficult, if not impossible.
"There's been a blessing in all this — because we [musicians] are all out of work, people that normally don't have the time to come and work with us are suddenly free. We've had great camaraderie develop from this experience," Manuel said. "Jazz has always been the soundtrack of America. People have come up to us extremely moved to hear music after being cut off from art for nearly a year."
At the core of the exhibit and holiday market is the desire to bring a little normalcy and good cheer to the season.
"It'll give you a little taste of the holiday season while keeping people safe and socially distanced. It also supports local artists, musicians, chefs and entrepreneurs during a time that has been devastating for people who earn their livelihoods performing and creating," Puchner said. "We want to renew our connection with the community and restore a spirit of togetherness. We're all still here."
The Deck the Halls exhibit is on display through Dec. 20 at Gallery North, 90 North Country Road, Setauket. The gallery is open Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. A virtual reception will be held via Zoom on Nov. 19 from 6 to 8 p.m.
Participating artists for the Deck the Halls exhibit include:
Lucia Alberti, Kelynn Alder, Andrea Baatz, Fred Badalamenti, Steve Behler, John Benevento, Joan Branca, Sheila Breck, Nancy Bueti Randall, Natalie Butkevich, Esther Marie Caponigro, Donna Carey-Zucker, Joseph Cooke, Jody Cukier, Linda Davidson-Mathues, Julie Doczi, Daniel Donato, Michael Drakopoulos, Paul Edelson, Patty Eljaiek, Lily Farah, Meagan Flaherty, Kimberly Gerber, Ray Germann, Helaine Goldberg, Holly Gordon, Larissa Grass, Jan Guarino, Anne Katz, Marceil Kazickas, Flo Kemp, Karen Kemp, Julianna Kirk, Randy Kraft, Barron Krody, Jillian Kron, Charles Lembo, LOVID, Mary Lor, Kathleen Massi, Michael McLaughlin, Meagan Meehan, Eleanor Meier, Olivia Menghini, Jim Molloy, Riley Mulligan, Annette Napolitano, Rhoda Needlman PSA, Gail Neuman, Susan Oliverio, Cynthia Parry, Mel Pekarsky, Alicia R. Peterson, Doug Reina, Brianna Sander, Oscar Santiago, Lori Scarlatos, Kate Schwarting, James Slezak, Judith Stone, Angela Stratton, Schery Markee Sullivan, Paul Thomas, Joanne Touch, Joe Ventimiglia, Mary Waka, Marlene Weinstein, Gil Yang, Patricia Yantz, Nicole Zinerco, and Stanley Zucker.
The Holiday Market will be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Nov. 28, Dec. 5, Dec. 12 and Dec. 19 on the grounds of the Three Village Historical Society, 93 North Country Road, Setauket and Gallery North. Please note: Masks and social distancing will be required, and there will be no public restrooms.

Gardiner Foundation Awards $40K to The Jazz Loft

Tom Manuel, founder of The Jazz Loft in Stony Brook, is always grateful when someone comes along and offers a helping hand, but during the pandemic, his gratitude is overflowing.

Before New York State's mandatory shutdowns, the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation awarded The Jazz Loft a grant in the amount of $40,000 to match funds coming from local resident and patron Dan Oliveri.
The money is being used to renovate the southwest section of the basement, which is under the Old Stone Jug area of the venue. The undertaken has been dubbed Project Coal Bin, Manuel said. While the basement dates back to 1941, the Old Stone Jug was built in approximately 1770. The grant also covers equipment needed to archive information.
"What's exciting is it's going to be a multipurpose space where the grant was designed not just to redesign the space but to outfit it as an area that will be used for our archiving," The Jazz Loft founder said.
He added that the Stony Brook University Department of Computer Science worked last year to design the computer programming for the archiving, which will open up doors for other grants in the future for additional archiving and preservation.
"It's amazing how a group like the Gardiner foundation could allow so many great things to happen even indirectly after their grant is done," he said.
He called RDLGF a lifeline for nonprofits and a "blessing for people on Long Island." The admiration is mutual.

"The Jazz Loft is an exceptional organization that engages the community on many levels," said Kathryn Curran, executive director of the RDLGF. "The adaptive reuse of their historic building brings new and inventive life to this early structure celebrating the history of jazz through performances and art and artifacts."
While the grant process was lengthy, Manuel said it was an excellent experience for him where before the pandemic he sat in on a grant-writing workshop given by Curran, and was able to exchange ideas with others. He said it was inspiring to learn about grants and the bigger picture of the longevity of nonprofits and the history of Long Island.
"After a while you realize, wow, it's not so much about me writing this grant anymore," he said. "It's about The Jazz Loft being here for 100 years. This is about being responsible with what has been entrusted to me."
Manuel also praised RDLGF for the funds they granted to nonprofits during the pandemic. Curran said the board was aware of the new problems nonprofits faced in 2020, and in June the board members approved a limited reimbursement grant to historical societies. The grants were intended to help organizations cover expenses during unscheduled closings. In total, RDLGF awarded more than $63,000 to help pay bills over a three-month period.
As for Project Coal Bin, Manuel said work began a couple of months ago. He indicated before major construction could begin, the old drop ceiling had to be removed in the section of the basement, while the plumbing and the electrical system needed to be updated. Manuel said when a person is downstairs and looks up, the hand-hewn beams of the Old Stone Jug are now visible after 80 years following the removal of a plaster ceiling.
The section of The Jazz Loft is called the Old Stone Jug due to its facade and was added by philanthropist Ward Melville, who moved the structure from its original location and made it an addition to what was once the original Stony Brook firehouse. It was then used as the Suffolk Museum, the forerunner of The Long Island Museum. Before it was moved, the Old Stone Jug, through the decades, was utilized for town meetings, operated as a tin shop and was used to store molasses jugs.
Manuel said they named the new section of the basement the Coal Bin after a former establishment in Southampton called Bowden Square. The owner Herb McCarthy's mother would cook southern food and play jazz music for Black patrons in the basement, called the Coal Bin, during a time when Southampton was segregated.
Manuel said renovations in The Jazz Loft basement are projected to be completed before the end of the year.
Head of the Harbor's Fischer Balances Finances with Philanthropy

Harlan Fischer, president of Branch Financial Services, recently moved his offices from Smithtown to Setauket. His business, which was located on Route 111 for 25 years, and before that, for 21 years in Hauppauge, has now found a home at 21 Bennetts Road.
The Head of the Harbor resident and his wife of almost 47 years, Olivia, are known for their involvement in the art community across the North Shore, and both are familiar names at The Jazz Loft in Stony Brook. For the past three years, the couple has sponsored a monthly concert series at the music venue and museum, which is currently closed due to the coronavirus.
Loft founder Tom Manuel said the Fischers were its first donors. The musician still remembers the day in 2015 when he was in Stony Brook village performing to raise money for the renovation of the venue's future home. He said a man with a dog walked up to him and they began talking about jazz. The man turned out to be Fischer.
"I was just thinking, 'Wow, how interesting that there's this guy that kind of digs what we're trying to do,'" Manuel said. "Little did I know he'd already read about us, and he came there on purpose. I just thought he was passing by."
He said Fischer gave him an envelope with a check inside, but Manuel didn't open it until he was home, thinking it was maybe worth $50. Later he opened the envelope and found the check was for $1,000.
"My eyes were as big as saucers," he said.
The Jazz Loft founder said that with Fischer's interest in jazz and the couple's love of art, the venue is a perfect match for them.
"They're doing it because it's a passion," he said. "It's not just that they're looking for a place to make a tax-deductible donation."
Fischer and his wife's philanthropy goes beyond The Jazz Loft. While the financial adviser spends the day discussing finances with clients — people from all over Long Island as well as 26 states — his interests lie elsewhere when the workday has ended. Both he and Olivia through the decades have developed a shared love of art.
Fischer said, for him, it began after a 1988 car accident when he was hit by a drunk driver. He realized he could have been killed, and up until that point his life was mostly about work.
"All of a sudden it got me in touch with my mortality," he said.
"All of a sudden it got me in touch with my mortality."

He was talking to his physical therapist who told him about the Rotary club. Not only did he join the organization, but he also went on to become the president of Smithtown Rotary from 1997to 98. Through the Rotary he became involved in various community projects, but when a friend told him how the Smithtown Township Arts Council was looking for a board member, that's when he found one of his true passions. Fischer told his friend he knew nothing about art, but it turned out the board was looking for a businessperson like him. Fischer decided to join and a year later became its president.
During his five-year tenure, he said he learned a lot about art, thanks to Norma Cohen, who was director of the council back then. He and his wife began collecting artwork, especially contemporary studio art glass pieces that fill the couple's Head of the Harbor home.
Olivia Fischer said the couple's interest in art grew together and the two began raising money for various organizations, including hosting fundraisers in their home.
Through the years, the Fischers have been members of many art organizations as well as sponsored many events. Among their philanthropic activities have been being members of The Long Island Museum's Directors Advisory Circle and sponsoring the East End Arts Music Masters Mentorship Program for high schoolers. The financial adviser is also a former board president of the Art League of Long Island, and in 2000, he was named The Times of Smithtown Man of the Year in Business.
In addition to their work in the world of the arts, the Fischers have rescued dogs and are in the process of adopting their 11th one. In late 2018, the Town of Smithtown recognized them for their $7,600 donation which enabled the Smithtown Animal Shelter to build a dog park that bears their name, the Olivia and Harlan Fischer Recreational and Development Park. The Fischers have also backed Little Shelter Animal Rescue's annual Pet-A-Palooza in Huntington.
Fischer, who is in his early 70s, said he feels 10 years younger and has no plans to retire, especially in his new office that features some of his art collection. He added that he's fortunate to work with good people too, which helps with leading a busy life.
"I can't ask for more than that," he said.
Success and enjoyment in life are something he believes people find when they feel passionate about what they are doing. He also believes in good timing, which has become a common theme in his life not only with finding ways to give back but also in his career life.
After spending four years in the Air Force and almost a year in Vietnam, he wound up in retail despite having an engineering degree from Northeastern University. He was running the Levitz Furniture & Showroom in Farmingdale when he told someone he no longer wanted to be in retail, and it was recommended he consider the financial field.
"Timing is everything in life," he said. "Just being at the right place at the right time and saying the right thing. You make a right turn instead of a left turn, your whole life can be different."
Local Musician's Exhibit To Launch at The Jazz Loft

Setauket resident and jazz musician, Ray Anderson, is celebrating a career that has been nothing but noteworthy. And at a performance at The Jazz Loft in Stony Brook Oct. 25, music lovers will get a taste of his talent and be able to witness the launch of his archives there.

The trombonist, 67, first picked up his instrument at the age of 8, after having been inspired partly by his theologian father's jazz records that predominantly featured the famous trumpet player, Louis Armstrong. The sound of Anderson's chosen instrument was something that he found appealing, especially since, he said, the musicians playing trombone sounded like they were having fun.
He studied music at the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools with future trombone legends such as George Lewis and was taught by Frank Tirro, the future dean of the Yale School of Music.
Anderson attended three different universities, three different times, before eventually receiving a bachelor's degree from Empire State College in Saratoga Springs in 2010.
"I'm self-educated in a lot of ways," he said. "Performing became my education."
He moved to Los Angeles in 1971 to attend the California Institute of the Arts, only to find the campus was not yet open. He wound up living with Stanley Crouch, a black writer and jazz critic, frequently known for his controversial views amongst the African American community on his disillusionment with the Black Power movement.
While attending college in Minnesota and Los Angeles, he played in R&B bands and joined funk and Latin bands while living in San Francisco. While Anderson looks back with great fondness on his days where he became "moderately successful" working odd jobs and playing music in San Francisco, he said he felt the urge to discover the New York music scene, so he moved to Manhattan in 1973.
"I was 20 years old and had no real roots anywhere," he said. "I figured I would move to New York and see what happened."
He performed with clarinetist and saxophonist Jimmy Giuffre and drummer Barry Altschul while playing with composer and saxophonist Anthony Braxton's quartet for three years. He has since performed in a variety of his own bands, such as the Pocket Brass Band and Lapis Lazuli band.
Anderson recently returned from a European tour with BassDrumBone, a band named after its bass, drums, trombone players. He started the group in 1977 with his friends bassist Mark Helias and drummer Gerry Hemingway. It has been running ever since.
"I've learned so much from both of them," he said. "They're my age so it's not a traditional teacher-student type of thing, but they're both really, really wise."
His first feature album was blues guitarist Luther Allison's "Night Life," before recording for Gramavision, as well as European record label Enja and others.
"I didn't have a career where I worked as a member of a more established senior band, so I learned a lot from my contemporaries," he said.
Anderson said he recently recorded a solo trombone piece based off of a solo performance he did in France and is currently in the process of sending it to record companies.
"That's been a longtime dream," he said.
Anderson describes his style as "witty" and "challenging," and he acknowledges and respects the players who have come before him
Yet, having composed more than 100 pieces, Anderson has learned to take a lighthearted approach to music with songs titled "If I Ever Had a Home It Was a Slide Trombone," and "Raven-a-Ning," the latter piece being composed for his son, Raven, and a play on the classic "Rhythm-a-Ning" by Thelonious Monk.
While his calm and joyous approach to life is evident in conversation, he had to overcome tragedy when his wife, lyricist and poet, Jackie Raven, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1999 and passed away in 2002.
"I had two young motherless kids and my life as a touring musician had to stop," he said.

Anderson was the artist in residence at Stony Brook University for six months in 2001, and in 2003 was appointed director of jazz studies, a title he has held ever since.
"It enabled me to stay home, pay the bills and care for my kids who were 11 and 15 when she died," he said. "I'm sure you can appreciate why I'm boundlessly grateful to this community for all it has given me over these many years."
Anderson reports that both his kids are doing well and he got remarried last year, to Suzy Goodspeed.
The musician said his many years as a full-time performer make him the perfect candidate to mentor emerging musicians.
"I'm a performer first and teacher second," he said. "I know what music feels like when you're actually doing it."
Anderson said his life as a performer doesn't dismay his love for teaching.
"It's so rewarding to be able to pass something on that's useful," he said. "It's really tied in with the whole idea of trying to pay it forward because so many people gave me so much [mentorship]."
All of the courses he teaches revolve around performing. In the graduate program, he plays with students in a band and requires them to write their own music.
"We go through the process of editing and revising, and trying to find out what works and what doesn't," he said.
Tom Manuel, The Jazz Loft's president and founder, praised Anderson's impact in the jazz field.
"I think what makes Ray so important to jazz is not just that he's amazingly talented in the world of jazz, but he has been recognized as one of those incredibly and creative inventive voices that is creating something that is new, which is hard to do," he said.
Anderson will be performing at The Jazz Loft, where he serves as vice president, Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. with his Pocket Brass Band, consisting of just trumpet, trombone, sousaphone and drums.
"I've played a lot of big gigs, and it's really exciting to be in an audience of thousands of people, but playing in a small place like The Jazz Loft is often better because of the intimacy between the audience and the band," he said.
Friday's performance will be preceded by the launch of the Ray Anderson Archives exhibit with a reception at the venue at 6 p.m.
The Jazz Loft acquires legendary bandleader's archives

Recently, John Diana, a periodontist and clinical assistant professor at Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine in the Department of Periodontology, donated the musical archives of renowned bandleader Xavier Cugat to The Jazz Loft in Stony Brook. Tom Manuel, the Loft's founder, said the collection contains many of Cugat's original manuscripts.
Manuel added that manuscripts like the newly acquired ones include various musical notations.
"That's incredibly important because that means the music can be performed again, and that means, in many ways, the music can live on," he said.
Diana is the only child of Robert W. Kasha, who was the pianist in the Sammy Kaye orchestra in the 1940s and '50s. He said his father went on to become vice president of Willard Alexander Inc., and the theatrical agency had many of the big bands on contract. When Kasha met Cugat, he made an offer to purchase the bandleader's name, music and rights to the band, and Cugat accepted the offer.
The periodontist said his mother, who used the stage name Ada Cavallo, was a singer, and she became the conductor of the band after his father gained the rights.
"Also, being Latina, she instilled the Latin rhythm required of a Latin band," Diana said.
His father would play piano in the ensemble, and the New Xavier Cugat Orchestra was together for nearly 20 years, according to Diana. He said his parents traveled with the group numerous times to Japan, and both were inducted into the Big Band Hall of Fame in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Diana said his wife, Kathleen, was the one who suggested he contact The Jazz Loft to see if they would accept the Cugat material.
"Tom, from The Jazz Loft, was more than kind in accepting the music, and many of the exhibits in his museum were from bands and musicians that my dad booked and knew personally," Diana said. "I feel, and I believe my folks would feel, that the music found a good home."
Manuel said there aren't many places like The Jazz Loft with a museum and educational component, and many people have reached out to them about musical archives they own but no longer have room for in their homes.

"It's really amazing that we're getting these incredibly important — historically important — collections," he said.
Manuel said every collection is different and may include not only manuscripts, but also photographs, receipts, date books, tour schedules, instruments and more.
Some of the collections The Jazz Loft has acquired through the years have been from jazz trombonists Ray Anderson and Benny Powell and jazz and pop singer Keely Smith. The museum currently has the collection of piano player Jack Wilson on display to coincide with its July tribute to the entertainer.
The collections are rotated throughout the year in The Jazz Loft museum because it would be impossible to display everything at the same time, Manuel said. In October Anderson's collection will be on display and the trombonist will also be performing at the venue. Next year Manuel plans to display the Benny Powell and Xavier Cugat exhibits.
Manuel said some of his favorite pieces from the Cugat collection include manuscripts that were written while the bandleader was in Cuba, parts are in Spanish, and the paper was made in Cuba.
Diana also had his favorite pieces.
"Being of Latino heritage, I enjoyed it all, but my favorite piece was a newer version of the 'Peter Gunn' theme, and from dad's personal piano archives, his rendition of the classic 'Laura,'" Diana said.
The Jazz Loft crew will begin sorting through the material from the Cugat collection. Manuel said first everything must be entered into a computer and initially placed in an envelope. Once the memorabilia are grouped together and categorized, the items will be put in archival boxes to help keep them preserved.
Three Village Historical Society presents 3rd annual Prohibition Night
by Heidi Sutton - July 1, 2019
The Three Village Historical Society, in collaboration with The Jazz Loft, hosted the 3rd annual Prohibition Night on June 21. This year's theme, An Evening of Booze and Bootlegging, began with a mock funeral in the tradition of businesses, including at least one funeral parlor, that also functioned as speakeasies during Prohibition. The eulogy for John Barleycorn had heads bowed and hearts pumping. Then Tom Manuel and The Hot Peppers got feet tapping with jazz music of the era. It was a fun evening enjoyed by flappers and fellas alike. Planning for Prohibition Night 2020 is already underway!

Booze, Bootlegging and Jazz!!! Third annual Prohibition Night returns to Stony Brook

There's something about the 1920s that to this day many people are fascinated by. Life during that time seemed like one big party. The Three Village Historical Society and The Jazz Loft plan to bring some of the magic of the time period back for its third annual Prohibition Night fundraiser on June 21.
This year's theme, titled Booze, Bootlegging and Jazz!!!, will have an emphasis on bootlegging and speakeasies, also known as blind pigs.
"We've been collaborating with the historical society for the past two years [on this event] and I think we've hit it out of the park," Tom Manuel of The Jazz Loft said. "For this year we thought what can we do better."
Guests will be attending a mock funeral service and given a pass code to access a secret back room party filled with booze and jazz music. The historical society will have a Prohibition era bootlegging exhibit set up where guests can peruse old photos and other items from the time period.
"We really want to try to bring some of that history to life," explained Manuel.
Tara Ebrahimian, education and volunteer coordinator for the historical society, spent weeks researching the Prohibition era and bootlegging as well as Long Island's history during the 1920s. In a recent interview, she said her inspiration for the mock funeral came from reading accounts of actual funeral homes having speakeasies and parties in the back of their buildings.
"We want [the event] to be historically accurate," she said. "We wanted to make this scene for the guests," she added. "Like you're stepping into this world, we want them to be fully immersed."
Ebrahimian also researched how people spoke back in the 1920s and the lingo used during Prohibition. Re-enactors from Theatre Three in Port Jefferson will be on hand to aid in the immersive experience and will be acting as if they were from that time period.
Sandy White, office manager at the historical society, said she is excited for this year's event. "It's going to be a lot of fun," she said, adding that there will be a garden bar for guests with beer donated by Sunrise Ales and Lagers.
Steve Healy, president of the historical society, said the event is a great way to incorporate history and jazz music in a fun setting."We want to make history interesting, and I think people have a soft spot for this era. There is something really fascinating about this time period," he added.
Healy said that besides antique items from the period there will be a 1929 banana colored convertible parked outside the venue. "It's going to be a fun night and it supports two great local nonprofits," he said.
Just as booze and parties were synonymous with the 1920s, jazz music was just as important. Manuel's band, The Hot Peppers, will be playing time period music from mid to late 1920s live music for guests at the event. "We want it to be authentic as possible," explained Manuel, adding that the band will be playing with instruments that were used to make jazz music back then like the piano, guitar, clarinet and trombone among others. They will also be performing with some vintage instruments.
Manuel is grateful to the historical society for creating a wonderful partnership for the past couple of years. He said when The Jazz Loft first opened two years ago, the historical society was one of the first organizations to collaborate with them."We wanted to partner with people in the community and each time we've collaborated greater and bigger things happen for the both of us."
Guests are encouraged to dress in period attire and Manuel said he is blown away every year by how committed the guests are to dressing up for the event. "I've been really impressed … it has really taken a life of its own," he said.
The Jazz Loft, located at 275 Christian Ave. in Stony Brook Village, will host the third annual Prohibition Night on Friday, June 21 from 6 to 9:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 adults, $20 seniors, $15 students. To order, call 631-751-1895 or visit www.thejazzloft.org.
Jazz Loft musicians escape Haiti during riots

The Jazz Loft ambassadors' annual mission to Haiti to teach children how to play instruments hit a blue note as the capital, Port-au-Prince, erupted with riots.
Elvoi, a music teacher that we had hired, shared words of wisdom with us after our trip. "Everything is OK thanks to God," he said. "But in Haiti we live day by day, we live one day at a time."
We had landed bright and early on a Wednesday morning, a six-person team consisting of music educators, professional musicians and an independent filmmaker from California. This was another regular trip under the banner of The Jazz Loft to continue building the music program in a school perched high atop a mountain that is making a difference in children's lives one day at a time.
One part of The Jazz Loft's trifecta mission is education, and we felt that our community outreach should stretch further than how we typically define community. Our definition includes thinking globally, and a partnership with True Love Missions, of Stony Brook, and their successful school in Haiti was a perfect match. Thanks to the philanthropic giving of Robert Lourie and Ivana Stolnik in addition to the generous giving which was the result of an annual fundraising concert, the Jazz Loft ambassadors embarked on their trip. Barrels of school supplies, instruments, clothing and food were shipped down in advance and the team packed as much as they could bring as well.

Our days unfolded one after the next with early morning rises, hikes up and down the mountain to the school, and sometimes rides on motorbikes which rival any amusement park ride known to man. Relationships were begun or made stronger, and the universal language of music transcended that of English and native Creole. Teaching trombone was interrupted by giving out worm pills and conversations with the school principal and teachers regarding school-book needs were put on welcomed pause to feed quite hungry people. The confines of an article cannot contain nor explain the experience of a trip like this. The art of loving and being so genuinely loved in return can only be experienced by doing it.
Then 48 hours before our departure, a protest march against the Haitian government took place in Port-au-Prince. A day before our scheduled exit protests had turned to riots, and from the school high atop the mountain overlooking the city, we could see two fires that signaled something was wrong. We awoke early Monday morning, Nov. 19, ready for departure but as we assembled something was missing. The sound of Haiti had gone mute. There is an unmistakable sound of thousands of people, motorbikes, trucks and animals all joining chorus in organized chaos as the sun rises, and it had gone silent. In its stead, we heard a natural silence penetrated by the sound of vintage radios projecting singular voices speaking of riots throughout the night that had heightened. The city had been shut down. Schools and all businesses were closed. Our van was not coming, and all vehicles were banned from the roads. A call to the U.S. Embassy in Haiti signaled greater worry as it was closed.
Fearing escalation, being stuck beyond our planned time and worry over our general safety, we explored available options and were getting nowhere fast. Hours passed, our window of opportunity was quickly fading, and our final and only choices were to stay, or bribe the police to give us an armed escort to the airport. As if defying reality — because these things only happen in movies, right? — we were quickly packing ourselves into a civilian vehicle and a police truck. I wound up being the lone person in the police vehicle as there was no more room in the other vehicle. As we drove the final distance to the main drag, I thought to myself, "Am I blowing this out of proportion? Is this really necessary?"
As we hit the bottom of the street, there was an abrupt stop, and machine guns were locked and loaded, and handguns quickly appeared. We turned right, and I was amazed to see nothing but an empty street. Our speed was where the vehicle maxed out, and the sound of walkie-talkies, phones and borderline yelling filled the vehicle. The trip to the airport takes a solid hour and a half typically on a good day, and the main drag is marked by thousands of people trying to sell their wares to buyers that do not exist. Our trip that day lasted roughly 15 minutes.
Piles of debris and tires on fire occasionally blocked the road which we would veer around. Burned out vehicles and damaged abandoned police vehicles marked the journey. At one point we passed a black armored vehicle that moved down the street like a dinosaur.

Having made this trip many times, I noticed familiar landmarks. We were getting closer and closer to the airport. The cop to my right was clicking a clave rhythm on the barrel of his gun. I couldn't help but wonder if he was nervous or if this habit was normal. Ahead, a human-made roadblock of boulders and debris appeared causing the driver to slam on the brakes, fly into reverse and head right, the only other option available, only to be met by another roadblock.
Two police officers got out and started moving the boulders. A deafening sound, unlike any other, crescendoed and two masses of people began to converge from behind from both sides of our vehicles. It's apparent that fear set in as the cops jumped back into the car, and we rammed whatever was left of the roadblock that couldn't be moved.
Distance was quickly gained and this all seemed to end in an instant as we arrived at the airport and made our entrance almost seemingly under normal circumstances. Our plane took off an hour early, and within a few short hours we were home. It's a bizarre reality, to say the least, to go from such contrasting environments in such a short period. The next days in Haiti saw increasing violence. Innocent people died. The New York Times published an article Nov. 23, but little of the drama in Haiti made it to our mainstream news.
In Haiti they live day by day. They live one day at a time. When things settle down, which they will, I will return to Haiti. I will continue to love, because in the end, even if I could move those Haitian mountains, even if somehow I could magically fix their broken and corrupt government, but didn't love others, I would be nothing. Love doesn't rejoice about injustice but rather it rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, it never loses faith, it's always hopeful, and it endures through every circumstance. Love makes all the difference and there are many children in a little school atop a mountain in Haiti that I love very much, and they love me. And that my friend is always worth the journey.

Two Delaware youth honored in D.C.
Olympic gold medalist and World Cup champion Lindsey Vonnpays tribute to Wilmington and Felton students
By HOY en Delaware -
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Delaware's top two youth volunteers of 2018, Maricruz Contreras, 17, of Wilmington and Jenna Dewey, 13, of Felton, were honored in the nation's capital last night for their outstanding volunteer service during the 23rd annual presentation of The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. Maricruz and Jenna – along with 100 other top youth volunteers from across the country – each received $1,000 awards and personal congratulations from Olympic gold medalist and World Cup champion Lindsey Vonn at an award ceremony and gala dinner reception held at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.
The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program, sponsored by Prudential Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), named Maricruz and Jenna Delaware's top high school and middle level youth volunteers in February. In addition to their cash awards, they each received an engraved silver medallion and an all-expense-paid trip with a parent to Washington, D.C., for four days of recognition events.
Maricruz, a junior at Delaware Design-Lab High School, plays a leadership and advocacy role in several organizations to support LGBT+ youth and educate the public about the challenges facing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. "Seeing and experiencing firsthand the lack of knowledge and support for the LGBT+ community, I realized that it had to change, and that was when I knew that the idea of me being an advocate was key to my personal growth as a gay adolescent," said Maricruz.
Maricruz has served as a mentor and leader in their high school's Pride Club, teaching staff and students about the difficulties faced by LGBT+ students and how to foster a more supportive school environment. As a member of the national student council of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), Maricruz writes blog posts, plans and assists with yearly events, and led the network's Latinx Heritage Month activities last year. Maricruz also is involved in educational outreach in conjunction with LGBT+ History Month, and promotes safe-sex education as a member of Planned Parenthood of Delaware's teen council. Most recently, Maricruz helped teach lessons at an annual anti-bullying conference and performed a stand-up comedy routine on LGBT+ stereotypes. "I take pride in who I am, and want to instill that in others," they said.
Jenna, an eighth-grader at Postlethwait Middle School, collected nearly 1,500 books and several pieces of furniture to create a new children's library at a local homeless shelter. Wanting to make a "strong, lasting" impact on her community, Jenna sent an email to her school principal asking if she could conduct a book drive at the school to benefit kids at a family shelter in Dover. "After hearing my idea, she gladly allowed me to share the plan with staff and students at our school, and they embraced the challenge," she said.
Jenna made announcements to the student body and hung posters throughout the school, then created drop boxes to collect donated books. The response was so positive that she expanded her drive to all of the schools in her school district. As donations poured in, Jenna spent hours counting and labeling each book before packing them all up and delivering them to The Shepherd Place shelter. In addition to the 1,460 books that she provided, Jenna procured and painted three children's chairs for the new library, and furnished three additional plastic chairs, a table and two bookshelves as well. "I felt extremely proud knowing that the amount of effort I had put in was actually going to pay off and make a difference in my community," said Jenna.
"These honorees exemplify something we've known for a long time – that young volunteers have the power to bring meaningful change to their communities," said John Strangfeld, chairman and CEO of Prudential Financial, Inc. "These students have shown leadership and determination well beyond their years, and it's a privilege to celebrate their service."
"Through their acts of service, these honorees drive home a powerful lesson for their peers: that one student really can make a difference," said Daniel P. Kelley, president of NASSP. "We are honored to shine a spotlight on the compassion, drive and ingenuity of each of these young volunteers."
Youth volunteers in grades 5-12 were invited to apply for 2018 Prudential Spirit of Community Awards last fall through schools, Girl Scout councils, county 4-H organizations, American Red Cross chapters, YMCAs and affiliates of Points of Light's HandsOn Network. More than 29,000 middle level and high school students nationwide participated in this year's program.
The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program was created in 1995 to identify and recognize young people for outstanding volunteer service – and, in so doing, inspire others to volunteer, too. In the past 23 years, the program has honored more than 120,000 young volunteers at the local, state and national level.

2020 AutoTrader South African Car of the Year Finalists
Posted on December 6, 2019 by wheelswrite
The top 14 finalists for the 2020 AutoTrader South African Car of the Year have been announced at an event in Johannesburg on December 4. The next step in the 2020 AutoTrader South African Car of the Year journey is the track and road testing of the finalists in March 2020 by 27 of South Africa's top motoring journalists. The category and overall winners will be announced at an event hosted by AutoTrader in April 2020.
AutoTraderCEO, George Mienie, reveals that members of the public would like to see a win by the Mazda3. "It triumphed in the consumer vote, where we had hundreds of thousands of votes."
There are some really strong contenders this year. My money is on both the Ford Raptor and the Jaguar I-PACE. I think one of them may win. We have never had an electric car or bakkie as a winner.

Bloodhound exceeds 1000 km/h at Hakskeen Pan
Posted on November 21, 2019 by wheelswrite
The 1010 km/h run is at https://youtu.be/8GXtwR71huE
It is an amazing, crazy adventure. I love it.
Their website is at http://www.bloodhoundlsr.com/
Bloodhound LSR is a venture based on the Bloodhound Project that is using the Bloodhound SSC Car rescued from administration by Yorkshire-based businessman Ian Warhurst in December 2018.
Since March 2019, the Bloodhound LSR project has been based at the UK Land Speed Record Centre in Berkeley, Gloucestershire. Its parent company is Grafton LSR Limited. The Bloodhound team is now working through its plan of high speed testing followed by setting a new world land speed record in South Africa.
The current world land speed record of 763.035 mph (1,227.985 km/h) was set over 20 years ago by a British team including Bloodhound LSR driver Andy Green. Advances in engineering design, materials and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) since the last record was broken mean we can be confident of breaking that record with Bloodhound LSR.
The project is helping to push boundaries and demonstrate pioneering new technologies. Many of the aspects of our land speed record car have required engineers to think in new ways and manufacturers to develop novel production and testing methods.
This project has inspired so many people over the last 10 years, including both students and the wider engineering community. Engineers like solving problems and theorising about what happens when you pass the limits of known understanding. We look forward to continuing this inspiration into the future.

SABAT WRX Cape Town Final Round 2019
What a weekend. The WRX championship was literally in the air until the last lap of the final at Killarney on Saturday.
WRX Cape Town – Szabo leads the way over the jump during qualifying.
Timmy Hansen, the Peugeot driver, was crowned the 2019 FIA World Rallycross Champion after taking the number of wins this season into account when he was tied, on 211 points each, with Andreas Bakkerud at a breathtaking SABAT World Rallycross of South Africa at Killarney International Raceway on Sunday.
The smallish but enthusiastic Cape Town crowd was treated to a spectacular and bruising season finale after Bakkerud finished in second in the race behind winner Niclas Grönholm and Hansen in fourth behind Timur Timerzianov after 60 races in ten countries on four continents through 2019.
"It sounds fantastic — almost unreal that you call me world champion," Timmy Hansen responded to a question on his taking the title. "I am super happy for the sport – the last race with everything on the line was nerve wracking, but I kept focussing and delivered a strong performance race by race through the weekend — there was no room for error — not the smallest mistake.
Kalliokoski watches forlornly as marshals extinguish an engine bay fire.
Race winner Niclas Grönholm in the very fast Hyundai said "My first win was after someone else was penalised, so this one is special — my first chequered flag victory! "
Audi driver Andreas Bakkerud was quite unhappy with the result and behaved a bit like a losing English rugby player. Watch this space. There might still be protests and an investigation.
What happened was the three world championship contenders had a coming together when Timmy Hansen made a move on Bakkerud and the two tangled resulting in Kevin Hansen also losing it.
Niclas Gronholm leads Kevin Hansen around turn one.
As a result Grönholm led the way from the recovered Bakkerud, Timerzianov and Timmy Hansen, who quickly passed a struggling Scheider to take a vital fourth place. Kevin Hansen then had a second spectacular incident at the same corner the three had collided on the opening lap.
The local drivers enjoyed races for Speed Car buggies backed up by races for two rapidly growing Cape Rallycross classes catering for two-litre front wheel-drive machines and three litre rear wheel-drive BMW E36 Cup 'big sixes'.
Zack Groenewald pushed his car to the limits to take the chequered flag
E36 Cup is a local rallycross class with 17 participants which only started in March this year. Ten drivers took part at the WRX event last weekend. They drive 325i and 328i cars in two categories as the 328s have much more torque. It makes for great racing though. Zack Groenewald, known as Zackals, in the number 43 car was the very excited winner. He wrote on Facebook "Big thanx to my team for a awesome weekend without you guys its not possible And obviously my wife ….!".
Timmy Hansen leads brother Kevin during qualifying.
As is usual at Killarney the event was well organised with good facilities and the prices and quality of the fast food was good. The festival like atmosphere was enjoyed by young and old.
Diarise 14-15 November 2020 for next year's Sabat World Rallycross of South Africa Finale, it will probably be a cracker too and not to be missed.

Toyota Mirai FCEV
Posted on October 14, 2019 by wheelswrite
Toyota will take advanced zero-emission fuel-cell electric vehicle (FCEV) technology to new heights when it previews the second-generation Mirai at this month's Tokyo Motor Show.
Scheduled for launch in 2020 – initially in Japan, North America and Europe in areas supported by a refuelling infrastructure – the new Mirai will be much more than an eco-car. It has been designed to demonstrate how Toyota's FCEV technology can help create a vehicle that is rewarding to drive and beautiful.
Efficiency is still a critical area, and Toyota is targeting a 30% increase in the Mirai's driving range through improvements to the fuel-cell system and the use of larger on-board hydrogen tanks.
The current Mirai practical, with a driving range of around 500 km, easy refuelling in a matter of minutes and no emissions other than pure water. Since launch, around 10 000 units have been sold, while Toyota has actively supported the development of hydrogen fuel infrastructure in key markets worldwide.
The major hydrogen car manufacturers are Toyota, Honda and Hyundai primarily deployed in California, Japan and Germany. Mercedes has launched a GLC F-cell in Germany.
Transporting and storing hydrogen has been the main issue holding this development back. This area is developing rapidly.
Hydrogen can now be stored in a solid form in a chemical called sodium borohydride, for example. Carbohydrates and unsaturated organic compounds can store huge amounts of hydrogen too. Watch this space.

Defender gets a new look
It looks svelt, but can it do veld?
The off-road icon is back, well soon anyway.
At the heart of Land Rover, the brand, is the Defender. A tough no-nonsense workhorse in the past. The big question with the new one is: Is it as tough as the old Landy?
Hard to say just yet, but there is much to be happy about, on paper at least.
New Defender will be available in 90 (short wheel base) and 110 (long wheel base) body designs, with up to six seats in the 90 and the option of five, six or 5+2 seating in the 110.
Defender remains a beast of burden with a maximum payload of up to 900kg, static roof load of up to 300kg, dynamic roof load of 168kg, towing capacity of 3,500kg and wading depth of up to 900mm. The wheels are still in the corners allowing for excellent approach and departure angles.
A dash-mounted gear shifter is used to accommodate an optional central front 'jump' seat, which provides three-abreast seating across the front just like early Land Rovers.
Alex Heslop, Director of Electrical Engineering, Jaguar Land Rover, says: "The new Defender is a future-proofed 4×4 for the 21st century, using the latest technologies to optimise efficiency, enhance capability and revolutionise connectivity. With software updates that are sent over the air and next-generation always-on touchscreen infotainment, new Defender is every bit as pioneering today as the original Land Rover was in 1948."
The new Defender has Land Rover's (also new) Electrical Vehicle Architecture, which includes a state-of-the-art forward-facing digital camera, advanced ultrasonic sensors and 3Gbit/s onboard network supporting a comprehensive suite of driver assistance technologies. These include a 3D Surround Camera providing both 360-degree plan and new 3D exterior perspective views of the surrounding area, both off and on road providing enhanced augmented on-screen visualisation when using Tow Sensing, Wade Sensing and Land Rover's ClearSight Ground View transparent bonnet technology, to improve visibility of the vehicle's surroundings.
The new body architecture provides ground clearance of 291mm and world-class off-road geometry, giving the 110 approach, breakover and departure angles of 38, 28 and 40 degrees (Off Road height) respectively. Landy no longer uses the old ladder-frame chassis but has opted for a new lightweight aluminium monocoque construction to create a much stiffer body structure, they call D7x (for extreme).
When launched locally, diesel power will be provided by a 177kW D240 engine, with sequential twin turbo technology providing 430Nm of torque and fuel economy of 7.7 l/100km and CO2 emissions of 204g/km (NEDC equivalent). Acceleration from 0-100km/h comes in a leisurely 9.1 seconds.
Petrol power comes from a powerful 3.0-litre P400 featuring mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) technology with 294kW and 550Nm. The in-line six-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine features a conventional twin-scroll turbocharger and delivers 0-100km/h in 6.1 seconds and claimed fuel consumption of 9.9l/100km with CO2 emissions of 226g/km (NEDC equivalent).
The engines are coupled to an eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox with high and low range , centre differential and optional Active Locking Rear Differential.
HyperFocal: 0
A new Satin Protective Film option makes the exterior paintwork even more durable. The sustainable, solvent-free and completely recyclable wrap helps protect against everything from car park scratches to bramble rash and will be available as a factory-fitted option with Indus Silver, Gondwana Stone and Pangea Green colours, providing a unique contemporary finish as it protects. Opting for this finish is a no-brainer.
No less than four Accessory Packs are available: The Explorer, Adventure, Country and Urban Packs. I recommend the Adventure pack which features an integrated air compressor, exterior side-mounted gear carrier, seat backpack, portable rinse system, spare wheel cover, bright rear scuff plate and mud flaps.
In addition to the Accessory Packs, new Defender is available with a wide variety of accessories from a remote control electric winch, rooftop tent and inflatable waterproof awnings to more conventional tow bar systems and roof racks.
Prices for the Defender 110 at launch, in the first half of 2020, will start at R910 400. While the expected price of the 90, to follow in the second half of 2020, will start at R830 300 (TBC).
The direct competition is the Mitsubishi Pajero, Nissan Patrol and various Toyota Land Cruisers.

VW T-Cross launched
Posted on September 24, 2019 by wheelswrite
Sangria, Ibiza, Real Madrid, Flamenco, Toledo… Navarra.
VW T-Cross
It's Spain right? The home of the new baby VW SUV – T-Cross. Made in Spain. Some of the Iberian vibe rubbed off on the T-Cross. Its viby, warm, looks stunning in and out, especially in the orange guise.
The trend away from sedans is growing momentum, even taking sales away from hatches. People just love their multi-purpose vehicles from crossovers to SUVs. VW is not immune to this phenomenon. Sales of their big sedans, as well as Passat and Jetta has plummeted.
Wolfsburg had to make a plan, partly in case hatch sales also started evaporating.
Volkswagen have had a medium SUV in the Toureg and a small one with the Tiguan but needed a compact car to cover that end of the market.
VW are bringing two smaller SUV/ crossovers to market. The first one, available now, is the T-Cross. Next year a more funky, less adventure orientated model, the T-Roc will join the fleet.
Its all about the size.
The T-Cross is 4.2 metres in length, 182 mm more than the Polo and 11 centimetres shorter than the T-Roc . The difference in height is even more obvious: the T-Cross measures 1 584 mm compared to the Polo's 1 461 millimetres. The wheelbase of 2 551 millimetres increases the space and roomy feel. The elevated seat position is typical of an SUV. The driver and front passenger sit 597 mm above the road. The car is also wider at 1756mm and rides higher 180mm than the Polo.
The boot packs in from 377 to 455 litres. With the rear seat back that folds down you can create a flat loading space with up to 1 281 litres of space as the sliding rear seat can be adjusted by 14 cm.
T-Cross offers three trim levels starting with the Trendline (which will only be available next year).
The Comfortline trim comes standard with 16-inch 'Belmont' alloy wheels, black roof rails, front fog lights, leather multi-function steering wheel with multi-function display, Park Distance Control (front and rear), cruise control, Light and Sight Package and a front centre arm rest.
The third variant, the Highline, has additional standard features which include Comfort Sports Seats, Inductive Wireless Mobile Charging, Driving Profile Selection, Climatronic Aircon, LED Headlights, Composition Media with App-Connect and 18-inch 'Cologne' alloy wheels.
There is an optional sound system from renowned US brand Beats with a 300-watt, 8-channel amplifier and a separate subwoofer in the luggage compartment. It produces a rounded, full sound.
There is a choice of nine exterior colours and a selection of coloured wheel rims to personalise the exterior.
We drove the range-topping T-Cross 1.5 TSI 110kW R-Line DSG® model which comes standard with the following features: sports seats, driving profile selection, climatronic aircon, LED Headlights and tail lights, Composition Media with App-Connect, R-Line interior and exterior with 18-inch 'Nevada' alloy wheels, digital active info display and a choice of eight exterior colours. Up to four USB ports and the standard inductive wireless charging ensure optimum connectivity and sufficient power for smartphones.
The display system is really good. For example you can have the map displaying on the centre display and the route changes in the digital cluster in front of you. This cluster is seemingly endlessly customisable.
The interior is similar to the Polo and has an aura of quality, in the SUV context. They have not changed anything that works. The gearbox is the tried and tested DSG, the steering wheel is the familiar leather covered multi-function one we love using and so on.
For now the T-Cross will only be available in the 1.0 TSI engine with 85kW power output. In the first quarter of 2020, the 1.5 TSI 110kW will be introduced and in the second quarter the range will be completed with the introduction of the 70kW engine for the Trendline manual model.
These compact SUVs are built on is the modular transverse matrix (MQB) platform, which allows the driven front axle to be positioned much closer to the vehicle front resulting in better space utilisation.
Consumption on the launch drive which included a bit of town driving but mostly on highway was around 7L/100km.
The little three-pot mill is a pleasure to drive and will be more than adequate for most motorists.
For all intents the T-Cross slots in between the Polo and the Golf. Its just that little bit bigger, more functional than the Polo. I see first time buyers getting a Polo and then upgrading to a T-Cross when they need more space.
The competition is quite interesting. We can look at similar prices or similar size.
T-Cross side-by-side with a Polo. You can see it is taller, wider and rides substantially higher.
Price: Haval H6, Opel Mokka, Hyundai Creta, Suzuki Vitara, Ford Kuga, Kia Sportage, Suzuki GrandVitara, Nissan X-Trail, Mahindra XUV 500 and Mitsubishi ASX,
Size: Ford EcoSport, Jeep Renegade, Mazda CX-3, Toyota Rush, Renault Duster and Honda BR-V.
Pricing for the range at the moment is: 1.0 TSI 85kW Comfortline DSG® at R334 600, 85kW Highline DSG® at R365 000 and 110kW R-Line DSG® at R403 500. The only manual model will be the 70kW to be introduced later.
The T-Cross comes standard with a 3 year/120 000km warranty, a 3 year/ 45 000km Volkswagen Service Plan and a 12-year anti-corrosion warranty. Service interval is 15 000km.
Flights and accommodation were paid for by Volkswagen. We stayed at the Boulevard Hotel in Port Elizabeth and Knysna Hollow Country Estate.

Recent motoring launches
There were quite a few announcements about new models during August.
GWM P-Series
GWM which sells the Steed bakkies and Haval SUVs locally has just launched a new bakkie model range on their new P71 platform. It will get an 8-speed ZF automatic box coupled to a two litre VVT turbo- diesel engine putting out 140kW and 360 Nm, smart four-wheel drive with three diff-locks, high-strength body, the latest generation of Bosch version 9.3 ESP (stability control), 360 View, Rear View Camera, Lane Departure Warning, intelligent forward view (adaptive cruise control) and 12 radars.
The body measures 5 425 mm long, 1 972 mm wide and 1 893 mm high. The wheelbase is 3 230 mm.
With this bakkie they intend become number three behind Toyota and Ford. Watch this space.
Interestingly they have aligned themselves with several accessory and equipment suppliers and related players to form a complete ecosystem.
Expect the P-Series in the middle of the year (2020). The slightly more compact Steed will be continued.
Audi Q3 35 TFSI S-tronic
The second generation Audi Q 3 is here.
It now features a digital cockpit and a large MMI screen with touch response, assist systems to support the driver when parking, in town and on long journeys and has more knee room, headroom and elbow room.
There will be only one engine version – a 1.4 petrol engine with front wheel drive and a six-speed S tronic box. The power output delivers 110 kW and 250 Nm of torque from a four-cylinder direct injection unit with turbocharging. Six modes or driving profiles can be selected depending on conditions using the drive select dynamic handling system.
Audi South Africa has introduced a new package concept which will be adopted for all new models to be launched. The packages are: Comfort, Technology, Sport, Parking, S-line and Black. For example, the Comfort package includes storage and luggage; parking aid plus; electric tailgate; electric seats; seat heating and 4 way lumbar support.
The standard equipment list is more comprehensive than in the past and includes the digital cockpit, climate control, electronic stability control, rear parking aid and light / rain sensor.
In my opinion the new Q 3 looks great inside and out. Customers have many options for customizing their car. These include a contrasting paint finish for the lower body section or the S line exterior package which offers more sporty looking bumpers, sill trims and diffuser.
The instrument panel is divided into two levels: the top part includes the air vents; the bottom section incorporates the large octagonal area with its black-panel look. It is a really attractive interior.
The Audi Q3 range gets the Audi Freeway plan (5 year / 100 000 km) and is priced as follows:
Audi Q3 35 TFSI S-tronic at R565000, Advanced is R585 000 and S-line a solid R599 000.
Toyota becomes hotspot
"As of 01 September 2019, all new Toyota and Lexus models sold in South Africa will come standard with in-car Wi-Fi including 15GB free data (which you can top up) as well as a host of connectivity features and benefits courtesy of Toyota Connect, a major extension of the MyToyota App," says President and CEO of TSAM, Andrew Kirby.
Known as Toyota Connect, the new connectivity hub will be housed within the MyToyota App which was launched in 2014. The technology allows owners access convenience, connectivity and safety benefits. Toyota the only manufacturer to offer a mobile App that is fully integrated with manufacturer and dealer systems, it is also the first organisation to offer the convergence of Wi-Fi and connectivity features in one package across the model range internationally.
The benefits of Toyota Connect can be grouped into three main areas: Connectivity features, Convenience and Safety features.
All the big brands are innovating and taking the present technology to the highest levels yet seen. The next generation will be very different and possibly powered either by hydrogen or batteries or they will be hybrids. They will be more automated and less driver orientated, almost like Ubers without the driver.

Lonesome (song)
Lonesome 7-7203
Lonesome is a 1928 Part-talkie film by Hungarian-born American director Paul Fejös. It was produced and distributed by Universal Pictures. In 2010, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The film was released on Blu-ray Disc and DVD on August 28, 2012 as part of The Criterion Collection.
It was remade in 1935 as a comedy called The Affair of Susan.
In New York, Mary is a telephone operator who lives alone and is lonely. Jim is a factory worker who lives alone and is lonely. Each decides to go to the beach (presumably Coney Island) and both are captivated with each other, eventually realizing, moreover, that they really do like each other. Having gone from loneliness to finding love, enjoying the company of each other and having fun, they are – due to exigent circumstances and hundreds of visitors to the beach that day – both separated from the other. Only knowing each other's first name, and having only a small photo of each other, Jim and Mary are desperate to find each other. Will these two lonesome individuals who have discovered their love for each other...lose it all that same day?

"Lonesome 7-7203" is a 1963 single by Hawkshaw Hawkins, written by Justin Tubb. It was the final single release of his career, released in 1963 on the King label.
"Lonesome 7-7203" was Hawkins's first chart entry since "Soldier's Joy" in 1959. It spent twenty-five weeks on the Billboard Hot Country Singles charts, peaking at No. 1 on the chart dated for May 4, 1963.
Three days after its release, Hawkins died in an airplane crash which also killed Patsy Cline and Cowboy Copas. Two weeks after Hawkins' death, the song reached No. 1 for a four-week run.
The song, a heartbreak ballad, is from a man who keeps receiving phone calls for his ex. He can't bear the constant calls not for him that remind him of her so he has gotten a new phone number, which he will only reveal to her, that she can call to get back in touch with him (and presumably, resume the relationship). The song is the means that he uses to give out the new number.
In a 1997 episode of Country's Family Reunion, Jean Shepard, who is Hawkins' widow, explained that she had recorded the song for Capitol Records about a year before Hawkins recorded it for King; however, for some unknown reason, Capitol chose not to release it at that time. Shepard went on to say that Hawkins finally told her "If they're not going to release that Justin Tubb song, I'm gonna record it".

Lonesome No.1, Don Gibson
Lonesome No.1
Lonesome number one
Just call me lonesome number one
Although no titles have I won
I surely must be lonesome number one
Every love I've had has faded like a dew
Everyone I wanted has wanted someone new
Heartaches hang around they always come
Seems I'm always losing, love just can't come near
Just when love gets close it always disappears
Sorrow always keeps me on the run

Johnny Cash Tribute Concert
From Yahoo! News:
"Stars from across the musical galaxy came together in Nashville to pay tribute to the late Johnny Cash. The legendary 'Man In Black,' who died of complications from diabetes on September 12 at the age of 71, was remembered in word and song by stars including Hank Williams Jr., George Jones, Brooks & Dunn, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Rodney Crowell, Steve Earle, Marty Stuart, Larry Gatlin, Travis Tritt, Sheryl Crow, Kid Rock, John Mellencamp, and even former Vice President Al Gore.
Steve Earle, who sang "Folsom Prison Blues," recalled that Cash came to Nashville as an outsider who broke conventions by writing his own songs and speaking his mind. "He did things exactly the way he wanted to do them and stuck to his guns, and proved that that can be done and be done successfully," Earle said.
From washingtonpost.com Down-Home Tribute to Johnny Cash :
"Sheryl Crow's version of "Hurt," the Trent Reznor song that became Cash's swan song, was chilling in a good way, and Kid Rock was on the money with his "What Is Truth." But poor George Jones fumbled his verse with the regrouped Highwaymen (with Nelson, Kristofferson and Hank Jr.), looking lost on stage while the other members jumped in to cover for him."
"And when it was clear that the grand finale had arrived, most everyone assumed they'd be hearing 'Will the Circle Be Unbroken,' but son John Carter Cash led everyone (including dozens of Cash family members called up on stage) in a sunny version of 'We'll Meet Again.' It was the perfect ending to a long but heartwarming evening."

These salmon balls are an easy, tasty, appetizer, or they can be served for dinner instead of salmon cakes. They are easy to cook since they are baked rather than fried. Just pop them in the oven and 20 minutes later they're done. Serve with homemade tartar sauce or remoulade sauce.
While these salmon balls are not typical football food, you might consider making them for the Super Bowl next week. They will add a little variety for those who aren't fond of the usual foods.
Preheat oven to 350° F and grease a large cookie sheet.
Form into balls one tablespoon in size.
Serve with Tartar Sauce or Remoulade Sauce.
This is a delicious recipe. I have used the same one for fried salmon cakes except I use chopped onion, and add a little bit of sugar. Now I will try them baked! They are great made ahead of time and taken in lunch box and reheated at office too. Thank you.
Linda, this is such a great recipe using canned salmon- I'm obsessed with making something similar as patties but need to try this out! Cheers!
For this recipe to work out, were your cans of salmon the little 6oz ones or the large 14.5oz ones?

Last week, on Syfy's newest guilty pleasure Blood Drive, the drivers were forced into an uneasy alliance to escape a diner/motel serving as a cannibal chopshop. Cop Arthur (Alan Ritchson) and beautiful Grace Argento (Christina Ochoa) who were forced to get really close just to survive day 1, managed to make it out of day 2, and use the "cook" from the diner as fuel to keep on racing. We also learned more about Heart Enterprise, the global conglomerate that took over after "The Scar" tore the US apart. Arthur's partner, Christopher (Thomas Dominique), is kidnapped by Heart cyborg Aki (Marama Corlett), while Blood Drive creator Julian Slink (Colin Cunningham) is given ultimatums by the mysterious Heart executives.

Crash Time 5 Patch Fr
Home / Blog / FOTOGRAFIA / Crash Time 5 Patch Fr
developer notes: it's been some time since we've taken a look at the character balance. to help determine where the game needs some tuning, we've begun a new "character balance test." you can find out more about this on the official forums.
the second arc of the first episode is almost complete! we'll be releasing a patch in the near future, and that's where we'll be concentrating our efforts. the patch will address the following issues :
we thank you for your patience and for any reports you send in to us, helping us to identify and fix issues as quickly as possible. rest assured we are dedicated to improving the user experience of the life is strange: remastered collection post-launch, and deck nine games and square enix have been and will continue to work hard on patching issues you are facing.
no one escapes death is probably one of the games most controversial perks, and certainly one of the most often picked. by adding a time limit to the perk, were encouraging killers to try a berserker blitz where they have to hunt and find survivors as fast as possible, rather than camp strategic points. the very slight movement speed decrease will help some survivors get away during these 2 terrifying minutes. with these changes in place, we believe that this perk will no longer be a must-have for every killer loadout, but still be a viable option.
this is the first time in the series that the player can choose their own pronouns. the pronouns are, of course, gender-neutral and can be freely chosen, and the player can freely switch between them, too.
we realise the amount of time new players have been with the game may not have allowed them to appreciate a large amount of dead by daylight's gameplay mechanics, especially the role of perks and perks synergy. we have therefore written a guide to help new players get to grips with their first experiences in dead by daylight. we have heard the feedback from many players regarding more strategic play in dead by daylight, especially regarding the remaining time and its impact to map design. to this end, survivors will now have a clear idea when and where they should run in an attempt to gain more time and outflank the killer. with this in mind, we have implemented the following changes to help increase the amount of strategic play while also making the game more fun for new players: starting with patch 5.05, the following bug has been reported: during certain gameplay situations when the killer picks up a locked weapon, survivors will keep their current weapon selection. this is not the intended behaviour, and we apologize for this oversight. we would like to emphasize however that the game's core mechanics should be unaffected. we would like to stress that this should only happen in scenarios where the survivor is actively struggling to protect themselves, as the player should never be able to fall back on the physicality of the situation. this will be fixed in patch 5.06. one of the most requested changes to the game was a log-free, more intuitive and clear ui. the ui was completely overhauled between patch 5.05 and 5.06. it is hoped that this will help all players to a lesser or greater extent, depending on their comfort and preference. for a more in-depth look at all changes, please refer to the complete changelog on our main site. 5ec8ef588b

Q: Remove a single node on a click on the button I am trying to create a function where I can delete a "Restaurant Name" based on the input from the user in the "TextField" after clicking the submit button.
The Restaurants are categorized into Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I tried using remove() function but it deletes everything from Breakfast, Name to all my data within.
{
 "BibleVerse": "Verse1",
 "Breakfast": {
  "Name": {
   "-JyjnX_b6yQCR068oA9i": "firefly",
   "-Jyjn_5Wzr1vP5rXi_IG": "congee queen",
   "-JyjncESMv5vd2nQh4l6": "steakhouse"
  }
 },
 "Dinner": "Dinner",
 "Gathering": "Home",
 "Lunch": "Lunch",
 "NexcellMember": "Member1",
 "User": "Adrian"
}

Here is my Java class, which at the moment... I don't know how to use the text captured from Textfield to set it to delete from Firebase, I can only delete the entire dataset.
public class DeleteRestaurant extends Activity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.deleterestaurant);
        Firebase.setAndroidContext(this);
        Button DelRestNow = (Button) findViewById(R.id.delbutton);
        DelRestNow.setOnClickListener(Handler);
    }

    //Specific Button - Delete Restaurant Name
    View.OnClickListener Handler = new View.OnClickListener(){
        public void onClick(View v){
            DelData();
        }
    };

    public void DelData(){
        // GET and DELETE(Through Database Restaurant Name
        EditText mEdit = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.delText);
        String RestName = mEdit.getText().toString();
        // Get from Database
        Firebase ref = new Firebase("https://myfburl.firebaseio.com");
        ref.child("Breakfast/Name").removeValue();
        mEdit.setText("");
    }

}

A: You'll need to use a query to find the item you want. In this case, since you're looking for items whose value matches the string the user enters, you'll want to use orderByValue():
EditText edit = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.delText);
final String name = edit.getText().toString();
Query query = mRef.child("Breakfast/Name").orderByValue().equalTo(name);
query.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
    @Override
    public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
        for (DataSnapshot itemSnapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
            itemSnapshot.getRef().removeValue();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onCancelled(FirebaseError firebaseError) {

    }
});
edit.setText("");

I've added an activity that shows this in action to my demo app: https://github.com/puf/firebase-stackoverflow-android

Home Back of Store Packaging & Display Green Accounts increase Faerch Plast's environmental focus
Green Accounts increase Faerch Plast's environmental focus
Oct 8, 2010 Packaging & Display
For the 14th consecutive year, Danish packaging company publishes Green Accounts that illustrate its efforts to minimise environmental impact
"Today, the market expects organisations to be able to document their environmental impact. However, we took the lead on this back in 1996 and in many ways showed the way with our environmental considerations," says Faerch Plast's CEO Lars Gade Hansen.
As a result of measuring its environmental impact, Faerch Plast has implemented systematic improvements that have led to a reduction in energy consumption of 29% over the past 14 years. This equates to the annual energy consumption of around 4,300 households.
It is the company's aim that by 2013 all the energy it consumes will come from renewable sources. "We fulfilled our own target to ensure that renewable energy should account for more than 40% of energy consumption in 2009, and we are confident of meeting this year's target to increase that figure to 53%," continues Lars Gade Hansen.
Measured using the so-called CO2 equivalents, the company's total environmental impact has been proportionately reduced by more than 50% since 1996.
As part of its efforts to optimise processes that have an environmental benefit, Faerch Plast is also aiming to reduce raw material consumption by 30% by 2013.
"In collaboration with our customers, we are continually assessing whether we can reduce the material weight of our packaging without compromising performance and we fully expect to achieve this target," says Lars Gade Hansen.
Additionally, Faerch Plast is studying the possibility of substituting "virgin" raw material with recycled materials. The company is in the process of replacing some of its raw materials with recycled PET from recycled bottles that, after being thoroughly chipped and cleaned, meet the same high hygiene standards as "virgin" raw materials.
However, there is still room for more improvement, concludes Faerch Plast's CEO: "In 2009, some of our key figures were negatively affected by deferrals in our raw materials. What is most important for us, however, is that we can document that we are taking a targeted approach to minimising our environmental impact in the longer term. I am in no doubt that in future we will see a product's environmental impact as an important competition parameter. We will therefore continue our search for improvements where we can."

Elektra Assassin employed a somewhat wider array of techniques because it tended to be a wilder ride. The DD graphic novel was actually much more restrained because, once the look for each character was established, it was fairly straightforward in its execution. Elektra was all over the place: "realistically" drawn characters interacting with caricatures interacting with cartoons interacting with photocopies interacting with "children's drawings". There were quite a few styles employed, but the determining factor for the choice of style was what the scene demanded. In essence, the scene dictated the style of artwork used, not vice versa.
Det var hér, han tabte mig. Jeg stod af. I de senere år har jeg dog bemærket en mere sober Sienkiewicz, som udnytter sit talent fuldt ud, på en værdig måde. Ikke mindst i motivet til denne nye Marvel plakat. Motivet er også et variant cover til et slaskeblad i denne måned, men det er plakaten, der er interessant!
