Mark Blyth – Austerity: The History of a Dangerous Idea
Dr. Judith Rodin: Building Greater Resilience for People, Communities and Institutions in NYC and Beyond
Matt Taibbi, "The Divide" (Excerpt) – The Holder Memo & Collateral Consequences
Michael I. Sovern: "An Improbable Life: My Sixty Years at Columbia and Other Adventures"
Join us at Roosevelt House for a timely conversation about one of today's most urgent policy questions – whether government spending is reckless wastefulness, as many argue, or whether the policy of draconian budget cuts has failed. In his acclaimed book Austerity: The History of a Dangerous Idea, Mark Blyth, professor of international political economy at Brown University, demonstrates how and why the global turn to austerity, the policy of reducing domestic wages and prices to restore competitiveness and balance the budget, hasn't worked.
In conversation with Andrew J. Polsky, Acting Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and professor of political science at Hunter College, Professor Blyth will discuss recent examples of a policy that he shows has failed for a century. While it makes sense for any one state to try and cut its way to growth, Blyth argues, it simply cannot work when all states try it simultaneously: all we do is shrink the economy. In their discussion, professors Blyth and Polsky will examine why the arguments for austerity are tenuous and why austerity policy has almost always led to low growth and to increases in wealth and income inequality. They will also discuss how to counteract these trends with effective economic policies for the future.
Paul Krugman, in The New York Review of Books, wrote, "One of the especially good things in Mark Blyth's Austerity is the way he traces the rise and fall of the idea of 'expansionary austerity', the proposition that cutting spending would actually lead to higher output. As Blyth documents, this idea 'spread like wildfire.'"

During her lifelong service to the poorest of the poor, Mother Teresa became an icon of compassion to people of all religions; her extraordinary contributions to the care of the sick, the dying, and thousands of others nobody else was prepared to look after have been recognized and acclaimed throughout the world. Little is known, however, about her own spiritual heights and or her struggles. This collection of her writings and reflections, almost all of which have never been made public before, sheds light on Mother Teresa's interior life in a way that reveals the depth and intensity of her holiness for the first time.
Complied and presented by father Brian Kolodiejchuk, M.C., who knew Mother Teresa for twenty years and is the postulator for her cause for sainthood and director of the Mother Teresa Center, Mother Teresa brings together letters she wrote to her spiritual advisors over decades. A moving chronicle of her spiritual journey -- including moments, indeed years, of utter desolation -- these letters reveal the secrets she shared only with her closest confidants. She emerges as a classic mystic whose inner life burned with the fire of charity and whose heart was tested and purified by an intense trial of faith, a true dark night of the soul.
Published to coincide with the tenth anniversary of her death, Mother Teresa is an intimate portrait of a woman whose life and work continue to be admired by millions of people.

Following the recent financial close of the Bilkent Integrated Healthcare Campus in Ankara – Turkey's third and largest-ever healthcare public-private partnership (PPP) – it seems a good moment to take stock of the role PPPs are playing in today's healthcare systems. As such, I would like to share some thoughts on this topic, based on Siemens Financial Services' experience as a long-term partner and investor in global healthcare projects.
Shifting demographic factors, such as population growth and ageing, urbanization, and high levels of chronic disease, are putting the world's healthcare systems under severe strain. As such, ensuring the development of adequate resources and access to healthcare services has become an increasingly costly priority for those responsible. With public hospitals accounting for the largest share of global healthcare spending, governments across the world are increasingly turning to PPPs as the primary mechanism for delivering healthcare services to meet this growing demand.
PPPs are a tried-and-tested solution enabling costs to be controlled and services to be delivered efficiently by aligning project-stakeholder interests through delivery-based performance payments. Importantly, PPPs provide a flexible risk-sharing model that can be applied to a wide range of healthcare situations: from hospital construction to clinical care and support and management services. As such, PPPs provide a customizable solution that can meet individual project and different country or municipal healthcare-system requirements. Governments, project partners and financiers now have a large toolkit of best-practice models at their disposal to use as benchmarks for new projects, fine-tuning risk-sharing models to tailor individual solutions to specific projects.
The potential to increase healthcare capacity and quality efficiently means that some countries have developed long-term healthcare PPP investment programs, building the necessary procurement expertise and providing private-sector partners with a transparent pipeline of investable opportunities. Australia, for example, has had notable success in this regard, with a number of major hospital projects being financed through PPPs, such as Sunshine Coast University in Queensland and, more recently, Bendigo in Victoria – both projects in which we act as a supporting consortium partner and equity investor. This success has led other countries, including those in emerging markets, to follow suit. In Turkey, for instance, two major hospital projects – the Adana Integrated Healthcare Campus and the Bilkent Integrated Healthcare Campus in Ankara – have recently been procured using the PPP model as part of the government's progressive Health Transformation Program. We helped finance both projects through debt contributions respectively. Using the PPP model, we have also helped finance a new cancer treatment centre in Poland. Certainly, successful projects like these indicate the growing confidence in PPPs as a mechanism for delivering projects in today's global healthcare markets.
With innovation driving improvements in healthcare delivery and services, the private sector is best placed to ensure that healthcare facilities can meet rising patient and public-sector expectations for clinical excellence and value for money. Increasingly, however, we are seeing a shift away from contractual service-delivery relationships towards partnerships focused on clinical outcomes. With patient outcomes increasingly becoming the key performance indicator – and rightly so – clinical expertise and a holistic understanding of healthcare service provision and delivery will be the main drivers of success in the global healthcare PPP market for the future.


Large Format Photography Forum > LF Forums > Darkroom: Film, Processing & Printing > Very slow JOBO rotation - anyone tried it?
View Full Version : Very slow JOBO rotation - anyone tried it?
Why would I want my JOBO to spin very slowly....two possible reasons.
First, some hold the opinion that constant agitation reduces sharpness (no edge effects).
Second, Pyro can supposedly be a problem in a JOBO because the fast rotation causes it to oxidize. I never tried Pyro in a JOBO so I can't comment on that.
Here's my idea. Pre-wet the film, drain and add the developer. Give the tank one good turn to get all the film exposed to the liquid. Start the tank turning very slowly (one or two rpm or there abouts). The film will spend most of its time out of the developer but it won't have time to dry out. It might even have some kind of compensating effect. I'm not sure how much effect this will have on oxidation.
I plan to give this a try next time I have some time, but I wanted to ask around first. I'll expose a few sheets in the enlarger and spin the thing by hand.
I use the film reel that holds six sheets, not the expert drum.
The thought occurred to me that if this was a good idea, the JOBO would have an option to spin at these speeds. So, just in case it's a dumb idea.....be nice!
Kevin, you might run into some problems using slow rotation speeds.
I had some problems with my 4x5 negs in Jobo CPE (old one, which has two speeds, marked "1" and "2"), like streaking and uneven development, until I decided to go for higher speed. With higher speed rotation my problems vanished.
I'm also using the 2509N reels like you, in 2523 tank, which takes one 4x5 reel. I always develop max. 4 negatives. The developer I use is Rodinal, diluted to about 1+60.
I used the lowest setting on my CPP-2 years ago for HP5+in PMK, to reduce oxidation as you said . No streaks or uneven development. I still used the split developer technique in addition. One secret is to keep the water level low in the upper tray, where the drum rotates, to reduce the overall liquid mass the motor has to move. A small amount of water in the drum is enough to keep the temperature.
How slow is slow ?
When I used my JOBO, I rotated it by hand, and not at breakneck speed. I never saw any problems.
I've heard that Gordon Hutchings uses a Jobo for his PMK work. I don't think he'd do that if he found oxidation to be a problem. Ask around in that direction and see what you can find.
My CPP-2 won't rotate that slowly I'm pretty sure. I use about 30 RPM, which is below "F" and above "0" (off) on the speed dial. It's been a few years since I played with rotational speed, but I seem to recall that my CPP-2 got flakey (as in unpredictable) with speeds below about 25 rpm. I'm sure YMMV though.
I use a Jobo 3010 with Rollo Pyro and spin it (no pre-wet) on an old Chromega dual-action agitator (not sure of the RPM, but it's not too fast). With Ilford Delta and Fuji Acros I have always gotten perfect development with incredible sharpness.
Gordon uses a nitrogen blanket pumped down the lift to slow or stop oxidation. With all the government rules on gas storage tanks tanks, I don`t think you want to get into that.
I run my expert drum on high for 30` , then to medium for 30 more, then to film speed for the balance of the time. It works for D76 and Hc110.
PMK oxodizes like crazy and two complete replacements during the development did not help.
I think Rollo Polo was designed for rotation development.
PMK works best for me in a sealed Nikor tankup to 4x5 size. It comes out looking as fresh as it went in. Trays and open tanks allow ozidation, but not as much as rotation.
For PMK, I run my Jobo (using expert drum) at the slowest speed (below 1). I've had not problems with this. For plus development, I replace the developer half way through the cycle.
I'm using Jobo 3xxx series drums on a rotary base (non-Jobo). It's probably 10 to 12 rpm. For extra insurance, I backfill the tank with nitrogen at the beginning of development and put a cork in the fill hole. The PMK does not, can not, oxydize. The developer comes out of the tank looking like weak ice tea. Been doing this for about 15 years. Works fine.
"Been doing this for about 15 years".
Geez... You must be exhausted !
I'm sure the film must have developed by now. Enough already !
What is that... N+ One Million ?


Each year, more than 22 million Americans travel with a pet in tow—which means that jet-setting pooches are really a thing, as evidenced by the growing number of (rather enviable) hotel perks being offered to four-legged guests. In honor of National Dog Day on August 26, we've tracked down 14 hotel amenities that are sure to make even the most discriminating pup's tail wag.
To celebrate National Dog Day, Manhattan's Out Hotel is unveiling its new Dog House Suites, which seriously up the ante on the concept of "pet-friendly accommodations." Each room is equipped with a private turf-covered terrace (accessed by a doggie door) complete with a dog house and fire hydrant. Suite also come equipped with a Webcam so that pet parents can keep an eye on the canine shenanigans.
A skateboarding dog is cool and all. But a pooch who can hang 10? That's impressive. The folks at the Loews Coronado Bay can help Fido achieve that very feat by arranging a private, hour-long doggie surf lesson at the nearby Coronado Surfing Academy at Coronado's Dog Beach.
Leave it to an Italian hotel in the Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts family to redefine canine pampering. The hotel's Very Important Pet (VIP) program features a special four-course dog menu served in Gucci dog bowls, 15 acres of lush grounds to walk, and—for the seriously stylish—cashmere sweaters that can be personalized with a pet's name in rhinestones.
Travel can take a toll on anyone—including man's best friend. All that stress will melt away at this Green Mountain retreat, where doggie poolside massages and Rover Reiki healing treatments are among the hotel spa's more than 120 treatments.
Four-legged guests of this boutique hotel can get a birds-eye view of the city from the pet-friendly roof deck, which just so happens to be one of canine concierge Heidi's favorite places to relax. Back downstairs, a plush dog bed, personalized plate of homemade dog treats, and bottled water "turndown" service are just a few of the in-room perks awaiting your pooch. Best of all, the hotel donates the entirety of its optional $25 pet fee to a local animal shelter.
Thanks to this Rosewood Resort's portable Pet Cabana, your pets can travel with you from suite to beach to pool. And if Fido is looking a little tight in the shoulders, an on-site pet massage can be easily arranged.
Outdoorsy types (human _and _canine) will appreciate the vast and majestic countryside that awaits visitors of the Cliveden House. Perks include more than 250 acres of National Trust woodland paths (think countryside panoramas and glorious views of the Thames) and a dog-walking map of the estate.
As part of The Benjamin's goodDOG program, the hotel has partnered with subscription-based treat curator BarkBox (read: Birchbox for dogs) to offer visiting canines a variety of curated treats, toys, hygiene products, and outdoor necessities (like a collapsible water bowl) that are specific to the dog's size, and all veterinarian approved. Repeat visitors will appreciate that, like the home-based service, The Benjamin's BarkBox lineup changes on a monthly basis.
In July, this five-star property opened DogWoods, an outdoor—and totally enclosed—pooch playground on the hotel's grounds where complimentary tennis balls get the action started. There's a dedicated space for dogs to run, jump, fetch, sit, stay, roll over, and probably beg to stay a little bit longer.
This Windy City hotel wants its four-legged guests to have access to _all _of its amenities—including its spa services, which is where the "Pampered Pooch and You" massage package (new as of today) comes in. While you open your chakras, a dog massage therapist will assess your dog's current physical state and customize a massage based on his or her particular needs.
A totally tailored experience is the goal for every guest of Portland's Hotel deLuxe, which includes an array of welcoming amenities—beds, bowls, toys, and treats—and inspirational books on topics such as dog massage and pet psychology that are made available free of charge.
Dogs don't have to miss out on any of the family fun on Mackinac Island. They can frolic across this 18-acre resort (situated where Lake Huron meets Lake Michigan); it features an enormous lakefront lawn that's large enough for kids to play, dogs to run, and parents to watch it all—cocktail in hand—from the charming comfort of an Adirondack chair.
Fido will never forget his stay at this Auberge resort, nestled in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, with amenities like a custom dog bed, dog bowl, and homemade treats awaiting him. A dog tag engraved with the hotel's name and phone number will ensure that Fido will never stray too far (no matter how much he may want to).
Twin Farms' 300 acres of meadows and woodlands are the kind of verdant countryside that invite exploration. Fortunately for canine visitors, Maggie—the hotel's resident dog—leads them through a series of pre-planned hikes and other outdoor doggie activities.

Under-paying an associate OD can result in poor patient care, and a practice that doesn't meet growth goals. Pay your associates a fair salary that spurs them to contribute to the growth of your practice.
According to Jobson Optical Research's 2016 ECP Compensation Study, the average compensation for an owner/partner is $124,134 for a practice with revenue less than $500,000, and $166,827 for a practice with revenue of more than $1,500,000. This compares to employed optometrists who earn an average of $99,663 at the low-level practice revenue, and $117,757 at the high-level practice revenue locations.
If a practice net is 34 percent, and the associate OD is getting paid 22 percent of production, then the business owner profit margin is 12 percent. Who is making 12 percent in the market or real estate today? It is a great investment.
Understandably, many doctors who push back on paying associates more tend to have practices whose profit margin drops below 10 percent once all doctors, including owners, are paid. By our optometry standards, this would be a practice net under 30 percent. In a true business model, the owner ODs would be paid and then profit margin would be calculated. When the profit margin is below 10 percent, then a practice cannot afford to pay associates well.
When you can afford to pay more, but don't, it's a short-sighted victory. Let's say you pay your associates 15 percent of production (gross collections before office expenses are factored in), and maintain impressive profit margins, but then, each year you need to find and integrate new OD staff into your practice. Recruiting, training and integrating new staff into your practice costs money and time, so you might have been better off just paying the associate a fairer amount, based on what you can afford.
If you pay an associate OD well, an owner can depend on them to give more than the minimum required, and if they don't perform, then there are many other associate ODs looking for a position that rewards them for the responsibility of being an optometrist. The OD is no longer a refractionist, but an active medical professional in the American healthcare system. That carries with it a large responsibility, and it should result in compensation that reflects that responsibility. I don't think that it is right to pay associate ODs 12-18 percent of production, as many practices, and large corporations, do. With so many associates under-paid, owners willing to pay 20-24 percent of production have their pick of many great doctors to employ.
For any profession, you pay well to get the most out of top performers. An owner may start an associate OD at 20 percent of production, and then increase that as the OD shows their commitment and dedication to the patients and the practice.
Paying an associate OD well also increases your chances of keeping them in the practice. We all are less likely to look around if we are compensated above what is considered fair. When you feel like an employer has been overly fair, you tend to gravitate toward being fair and loyal to that employer in return.
Some practices pay associates less in return for an agreement that they will be considered for a partnership in the practice. But if you would like to add the associate as a partner, why would you want to communicate that "we will pay you lower than another associate because you are going to be a partner"? That logic makes no sense. That is like paying a future franchise player in the NFL half the salary because they are potentially good enough to be a franchise player. Rather, pay them more to communicate you want them, and that you are investing in them becoming a partner.
Finding an associate who can, and wants, to buy-in, is not like finding a new sweater. It's a major process, so if someone looks like they are your future partner, communicate you want them by treating them well. Otherwise, you create a hostile culture. When they get to be partner, you will always be haggling with them because they will still be bitter that you treated them so badly when they were an associate.
When you create a contract with an associate for eventual partnership, you are giving them a letter of intent, or promise, to consider them as partner if you and the associate are professionally compatible. Even with a contract promise, they are not partners until shares are actually sold to them, so that agreement could always be retracted after years of unfair associate compensation, or any other reason.
Pay more for an experienced associate OD, especially if they will be bringing a patient base with them. I would initially pay more, in essence, to buy a patient base. This may, or may not, be adjusted down the road as the associate OD's schedule grows because of an already-established and growing practice that the associate OD benefits from.
We offer two options for new associates. They can either have a percentage of full production that is between 20-24 percent of production, or they can have a salary, and once their salary "pays for itself" at 20-24 percent, then they earn a lower percentage above the base. This has worked out well, and has been a model in our practice, along with other practices that I have had the privilege to coach.
Most associate ODs coming in want a guarantee, so they know that they will be making money, and not living on commission alone. Performance-based incentives are best started one year after the associate OD has settled in, and hopefully, the practice has been able to supply a schedule that is beneficial for both the associate OD's second year and the practice owner's investment.
If you are interviewing to become an associate OD, always have more than one option in mind when negotiating, otherwise, you leave yourself with no negotiating power. In negotiating, an associate looking for a position should be able to give value-added reasons for why they should be compensated at higher levels then 12-18 percent. An associate should have a game plan to communicate how they are going to pay for themselves, and grow the practice, so the owner sees an ROI on the associate. As an associate, be prepared to walk away from a deal, and if you can't walk away from the deal, then propose a good reason for higher compensation, and negotiate for an incentive-based program. Then deliver by growing your practice.
It's a win for both owners and associates to offer flexible hours that make it easy for a parent to grow their family, while pursuing their career. To allow for flexibility, you may be better off hiring two associates for three days a week each than hiring one for five days a week.
Work together with your associates to find a win-win in salary and schedule for both them, and the practice. It's worth it because a practice with positive feelings between associates and owners is peaceful, upbeat and productive, rather than full of underlying tension and employment battles.
Finding mutually beneficial arrangements with associates requires a commitment to communication, and a willingness to be a servant leader. In my own practice, it's a continual work in progress, as I continue to be humbled working with the talented people I have hired.

The Women Who Changed Art Forever: Feminist Art - The Graphic Novel
These women changed art forever - told in colourful graphic novel form, this is the story of four pioneers of feminist art: Judy Chicago, Faith Ringold, Ana Mendieta, and the Guerilla Girls.
Each made their mark in their own powerful way. Judy Chicago made us reassess the female body, Faith Ringold taught us that feminism is for everyone, Ana Mendieta was a martyr to violence against women, while the Guerilla Girls have taken the fight to the male-dominated museum. This graphic novel tells each of their stories in a unique style.

On Thursday, CMS officials announced a settlement in a class-action lawsuit that will ensure Medicaid beneficiaries can continue purchasing prescription drugs at minimal cost when they become eligible for Medicare, the New York Times reports (Pear, New York Times , 6/20).
The lawsuit was filed by the National Senior Citizens Law Center and the Center for Medicare Advocacy in the U.S. District Court in San Francisco on behalf of 6.2 million Medicaid beneficiaries who say they were overcharged for drugs or turned away from pharmacies because they had not been immediately enrolled for subsidized Medicare prescription drug coverage due to processing delays. The suit was certified as class-action in January 2007 (Young, The Hill , 6/19).
The 2003 Medicare law states that people enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid are to receive additional assistance purchasing prescription drugs.
For beneficiaries eligible for Medicare and Medicaid, the copayment for a generic drug is as low as $1.05 and $3.10 for a brand-name drug, but beneficiaries were charged as must as $35 to $75 or more because evidence of their low-income status was not properly shared by government agencies, insurers and pharmacies, according to the Times ( New York Times , 6/20).
Kevin Prindiville, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said that the delays have shortened since the Medicare prescription drug benefit took effect in 2006. However, Prindiville said that the average wait time currently is five to six weeks before the tens of thousands of Medicaid beneficiaries who transfer to Medicare each month can begin receiving prescription drug benefits.
Under the settlement, approved by Judge Thelton Henderson of the Federal District Court in California, the government will change its computer system and allow states to submit names of new low-income Medicare beneficiaries more than once a month. Federal officials will be required to process these submissions within one day (Egelko, San Francisco Chronicle , 6/20).
Private insurers that offer Medicare drug plans also must provide drugs at minimal costs for any low-income Medicare beneficiaries who prove they qualify for additional assistance. In addition, if a beneficiary claims eligibility but does not have proper documentation, or is about to run out of a medication, federal officials would immediately contact the state Medicaid agency to confirm his or her eligibility.
Prindiville said, "This settlement agreement is a victory for many of the nation's most vulnerable citizens, who have faced life-threatening delays in obtaining vital medications."
CMS spokesperson Jeff Nelligan said agency officials have "worked tirelessly" to ensure all Medicare beneficiaries can fill prescriptions, but he refused to comment on the settlement ( New York Times , 6/20).
Gil Deford, the director of litigation for the Center for Medicare Advocacy, said, "As a result of the settlement, it will now be easier for the poorest beneficiaries to navigate Medicare Part D" ( The Hill , 6/19).

Cellulite appears when fat deposits start pushing through the skin. It can occur in any area but usually occurs on buttocks, thighs, stomach and arms. It also happens when the connective tissue is too weak which may be due to lack of muscle tone, too much fat and poor blood circulation.
There are three main types of cellulite: Fibrotic cellulite is very hard and compact with a very clear orange peel effect which is usually due to excess fat deposits. Adipose cellulite is firm cellulite but with a lesser orange peel effect than fibrotic cellulite. cellulite is the least obvious which usually appears on thinner women because it is mostly caused by fluid retention on loose skin.
From costly therapy sessions at the beauty clinic to exercise; cellulite can be destroyed. Interval training that burns fat will help fight the disaster, but just dropping a few kilograms won't help because cellulite can stay under the skin even if you lose weight. You have to completely burn the fat and go on strict diet.
It is proven that the harmful sunrays weaken collagen which is the reason to accelerated skin ageing and more visible cellulite. Next time you plan on tanning, don't forget SPF protection for those soft places!
While anti-cellulite products and creams may make it less visible, they will never completely get rid of cellulite for you. Consider it as minor help in your battle. Opt for creams that have caffeine and retinol as key ingredients, as they stimulate blood circulation to the problematic spots.
Check with your mother or grandmother, because cellulite can be hereditary. Either ways, don't blame it all on the genes because exercise and a healthy diet also play vital roles. If you do discover cellulite, better fight it viciously because it gets only worst with age.


So I'm a big freak about Rankin/Bass holiday TV specials. EVERYBODY knows the Christmas classics… Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town, Frosty The Snowman, etc. But Christmas isn't the only holiday that ol' Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin gave the song and dance treatment to. No sir! There were three not-as-well known Easter specials. Of which I knew *of*, but had never even watched until last spring when I found both at Target on DVD.
The basic idea of this is that the current Easter Bunny, Col. Wellington B. Bunny, is getting a bit long in the rabbit ears and is looking to pass on the mantle of Chief Easter Bunny to none other than fellow April Valley resident Peter Cottontail (played by Casey Kasem). But just as all great heroes are tested by a great villain, just as Batman has the Joker, God has the Devil, and Michael Jackson has sanity… Peter Cottontail has IRONTAIL! January Q. Irontail to be exact, voiced by none other than horror icon Vincent Price.
Irontail, you see, is a bit miffed that in his younger years, a few mischievous kids caused the loss of his tail. Which I think is the most shocking and horrific thing ever spoken about in a Rankin/Bass special. I mean, really… The kids maimed his tail? Anyway, he now has a prosthetic "iron tail". And his name is Irontail. Wow, that's a really creepy coincidence. That'd be like me having the last name of Peanutbutterlover and then ending up really, really liking the taste of peanut butter. Funny how the world works, no?
Back on topic, Irontail wants VENGEANCE! Easter egg baskets are best served cold or not at all because Irontail wants to ruin Easter for all kids for all time. But would he really be ruining anything? I mean, I know the story behind Easter, but honestly, at best, as a child, it was nowhere near the mass hysteria level of Christmas or my birthday. Heck, commercialized Easter is more or less all about candy but even then, Halloween blows it out of the water. So in a kid's eye, you've basically got a fourth ranking holiday that wouldn't disappoint much if it was cancelled. You could end up with more candy if you cry just enough on a regular trip to the grocery store than you would get from Easter.
So through nefarious means, Irontail takes the crown of Chief Easter Bunny and sets forth with many new silly Easter laws, leaving Peter Cottontail to walk away from April Valley with his ears hung low (wobbling to and fro). But wait! In a scene that obviously inspired the character Yoda from Star Wars, Peter Cottontail runs across Seymour S. Sassafrass schooling our young rabbit friend in the ways of dyeing Easter eggs and offers up somewhat of a cheap out—a time machine (the "Yestmorrowmobile") to set things right with Easter by traveling to the past and winning the contest! Stories of dismemberment? Cheating to win? Rankin/Bass has taken a turn for the worst! And why is time travel being brought into an Easter Bunny story?
The story doesn't end here though. No, Irontail is truly a worthy villain by catching wind of the time machine plot and sabotages the controls sending ol' Petey and Antoine (the French caterpillar pilot of the time machine) through a variety of holidays… except Easter! Cottontail tries to pawn the eggs off at these various stops… Christmas, Fourth of July, Valentine's Day, etc. But nobody wants eggs during those holidays. There's a particularly dated scene here during Valentine's Day with an absolutely horrible 70s love song as Peter meets and ice skates with a female bunny.
Well, I guess I don't have to tell you how this ends up. Peter saves the (holi)day, Irontail sees the error of his way, and all are happy and gay. But not homosexual "gay" even though Rankin/Bass seemed to be pushing the envelope with this special.
Unfortunately, this special eludes me. It's currently not available on DVD, but used VHS copies can be found fairly cheap on Amazon. Most of the Rankin/Bass catalog is split between Sony and Warner Brothers, so hopefully whoever owns the rights to this will get on the ball and give us our darn DVD! A previous bad experience with buying through personal sellers online holds me back from trying to pick this one up on VHS just yet.
UPDATE: The First Easter Rabbit is now on DVD and you can read my review here!
Okay, think of Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town. Replace 'Christmas' with 'Easter' and 'Santa Claus' with 'Easter Bunny' and there's your story. Still, not a bad template to try to follow and it worked once before, so why not here? Fred Astaire even reprises his 'Santa Claus Is Comin'…' role as the narrator mailman. This tale involves Sunny the Easter Bunny, who wants to explore outside his hometown of Kidville and stumbles upon a dreary town featuring the puppet regime of King Bruce (a boy who makes whatever laws his nasty aunt tells him to).
But while we're here, one thing that drives me crazy about RB specials is lack of continuity. Rudolph and Frosty had a few true sequels (even teaming up during the Fourth of July!) which more or less kept things cohesive. Then you've got multiple specials that stand alone, yet feature the same holiday characters. The Year Without Santa Claus and Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town Santas have no connection to each other, Jack Frost starred in his own special as a kind-hearted winter maker living up in the clouds, but also popped up in a Frosty special as a mean-spirited winter spirit wanting to destroy Frosty, and the three Easter specials feature three different Easter Bunnies complete with totally different origins.
And just who controlled winter anyway? Jack Frost (good or bad)? Snow Miser? Winter (the appropriately titled evil wizard from Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town)? Rankin/Bass was *almost* as bad as WWE when it comes to showing lack of continuity. Yes, things like this worry me late at night as my mind tries to make sense of it all. Saved By The Bell is another show that I love, but their inconsistencies drive me crazy, but I digress.
HA! You weren't expecting THIS were you?! Thought we were done, eh? Well, it's not a true Rankin/Bass film. The Rankin/Bass name pretty much exists only to let you know it's a Rankin/Bass classic. And that quality is guaranteed. BUT… This *is* a sequel to the original Here Comes Peter Cottontail put out by Sony's Classic Media division. Why not Here Comes Peter Cottontail 2? Or Here Comes Peter Cottontail Again? Or Here Comes Peter Cottontail: The Sequel? I don't know. I guess they didn't want people to confuse this with Here Comes Peter Cottontail: The Board Game, Here Comes Peter Cottontail: The Ride, and Here Comes Peter Cottontail: The Toilet Paper.
Now, I'm assuming you realize MOST Rankin/Bass specials were stop-motion animation or "Animagic" as the company referred to it as. Sadly, that's seen as archaic these days (I actually think it's really neato), and if you're not CGI, you're just not trying. So a CGI Cottontail we get here. Surprisingly, for a direct to video kids movie, the animation is pretty good. Full of beautiful colors and cute creatures, it is!
And this isn't some vague sequel. We're still in April Valley and Peter Cottontail is still Chief Easter Bunny. But this movie isn't about him, it's about his son, Junior. Here Comes Junior Cottontail? Nah, wouldn't work. Even ol' Irontail is back (voiced by Moore… Roger Moore) and apparently his turn to good didn't take and he ends up in cahoots with Jackie Frost (the queen of winter… descendant of Jack Frost) to turn the world wintry forever. This plan involves April Valley's Clock of Spring where Irontail and Jackie, through negligence of Junior, are able to take the spring from the clock preventing March from turning into April, and thus no spring season. Irontail & Jackie set off to steal the Sun of Summer and Leaf of Fall as well.
This is a classic buddy road film, as guilt sets in and Junior goes off to track down Irontail and get the clock spring back, and runs across a few newfound friends to help him—Flutter, a robin, and Munch, a mouse. Even Antoine the caterpillar makes an appearance as Peter gives him the responsibility of going after Junior to make sure he's safe.
I was really surprised by just how good this movie was. I liked the continuity and returning of many characters from the original special, I liked the animation, and even the songs were likeable. This isn't a classic, but it came in a two-pack with the original Peter Cottontail DVD, and for the $14 it cost me, it was well worth the money.
Does anyone have copies of HERE COMES PETER COTTONTAIL and WILLY MCBEAN AND HIS MAGIC MACHINE? I am in Australia and would love copies but can't find them anywhere.
What happened to the Easter specials this year? This is the first year I can remember that absolutely NOTHING has been shown in regards to the classics like the ones listed above. One or two years ago I remember seeing the "Here comes Peter Cottontail: The Movie" on cable and that was about it. Boomerang, Cartoon Network, and ABC Family all let me down this year….
MeTV Here Comes Peter Cottontail and Lamb Chop's Passover Surprise aired on Easter evening this year. Where are my stop-motion animation treasures?!? KTV on DishNetwork also aired Fat Albert's Easter Special. The Ten Commandments aired on Saturday evening for the ABC affiliates; I thought it was always Sunday night?
Not sure. I usually don't look for Easter specials since there's so few in the first place. I do remember ABC Family showing some of the specials I talked about here in years past but I didn't notice anything myself about Easter other than History Channel running specials on The Ten Commandments, angels, etc.
And yes, traditionally ABC would air The Ten Commandments on Sunday night.
I saw something either in a paper or on a news program (and didn't check out the full story) saying that Easter is may be starting to fade in popularity.
I think we will have to rely on the Retro channels to fill that void. Oh well, I wonder what Easter will be called in 10 years, or will it still even be acknowledged?
The Hub aired a Tiny Toons "Spring Break" special of sorts, but it was the only channel to have a "Happy Easter!" message on the lower right-hand corner of the screen along with a Hub Easter Egg graphic. ABC–constant from years past with "The Ten Commandments" on Saturday night and "It's the Easter Beagle Charlie Brown" airing Sunday night. The same goes for Turner Classic Movies (see above 3-31-13 entry). KTV and the retro channels had absolutely nothing this year; not even "spring cleaning" related. Boomerang aired "The Man Called Flinstone" in what should have been a Yogi Bear block. "Hop" aired on ABC Family (this channel is essentially Disney 2). True to IFC caliber, a "Cheech and Chong" movie marathon ruled the day; it would have been interesting to see what would have otherwise aired in light of it being April 20th… Rankin-Bass specials, where have you gone?
"The Ten Commandments" moved back to Sunday night with the only Easter Beagle to be seen this year was in the Sunday comics. Reeses peanut butter egg and Cadbury bunny commercials were frequent this year. Turner Classic Movies was stalwart as ever… (see 3-31-13 entry) The History Channel had the 2013 "The Bible" mini-series, while H2 aired "Jesus: The Lost 40 Days".
"The Ten Commandments" moved back to Saturday night this year; and the Easter Beagle was nowhere to be found. Cadbury Bunny commercials were frequent again this year, with a few Lindt gold bunny ads airing as well. On 3-20-16 FOX aired "ice Age: The Great Egg-Scapade" along with Tyler Perry's "The Passion." Curiously enough, Cartoon Network came through this year with Basket Fulla Premieres on Good Friday, (hosted by the Easter Bunny) airing new episodes of Clarence, Uncle Grandpa–"Uncle Easter", and Teen Titans Go Easter Special. I'm almost certain that Regis Philbin played the Easter Bunny on "Uncle Easter", but I'm not positive. Discovery Family showcased My Little Ponies this year. Even Comedy Central is airing some South Park themed Easter episodes tonight. No Rankin-Bass specials aired this year.
It would be great if the networks could show "Here Comes Peter Cotton Tail " " The Easter Bunny is Coming to Town " and " The First Easter Rabbit " I mean even Boomerang hardly shows much holiday shows anymore. I knew Boomerang would change to more modern shows when it's billed as a retro cartoon station. I guess they need to come out with Boomerang 2 Retro only cartoons from 90s down.
Cartoon Network (at least in the form of Teen Titans Go) came through with "Easter Creeps" in which both the Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny save Easter in a simultaneously creepy and hilarious manner. Even "Smurfs: The Lost Village" was touted with bumpers that stated "….this Easter"–even though the movie was released April 7th, 2017. The only Easter Beagle to be seen this year was in the Sunday comics. "The Ten Commandments" aired again on Saturday night. Comedy Central continued with South Park themed Easter episodes. IFC started with Aliens v. Predator and moving on to "Exodus gods and kings." "The Great Egg-Scapade" aired again on FOX this year. Interestingly enough, no Tyler Perry event was scheduled this year. What was once ABC Family (now Freeform) aired the "Twilight" series in its entirety. (Pat Robertson's ears must be flapping out of control by this point) I do believe that ABC Family was the network that aired Rankin-Bass specials, but that was well over a decade ago. No Rankin-Bass Easter specials aired this year.
JC Superstar Live will feature John Legend this year on NBC. Now who would Alice Cooper portray? No new Easter hilarity from Cartoon Network. The movie "Ferdinand" was touted with a "bulls vs. bunnies" motif for an Easter release on Blu-ray. The only Easter Beagle was again found in the Sunday comics. "The Great Egg-Scapade" shown for the third year in a row on FOX; sans Tyler Perry again. "The Ten Commandments" aired Saturday evening. Cadbury (as well as Reese's) Easter egg commercials were strong along with "Build-a-Bunny" ads for high end stuffed animals. (Remember when the "ball" doll cuddly Dudley sufficed for Easter enjoyment?) Target even got in the game with "Everything is Easterday." No Rankin-Bass Easter specials aired this year.
