    MÄRZ-MAI 2009 MÄRZ-MAI curt stadtmagazin münchen #59 // MÄRZ-MAI 2009 die endzeit-ausgabe curt stadtmagazin münchen #59 // // #59 münchen stadtmagazin curt aus die maus // ende gelände // schicht im schacht curt stadtmagazin münchen #59 // MÄRZ-MAI 2009 Vorwort Normalerweise ist der Frühling die Zeit des Erblühens und Erwachens. Man schüttelt sich die Schwere des wie immer zu langen Winters aus den Gliedern und erwartet die ersten warmen Tage so freudig wie den Besuch von alten Freunden. Normalerweise. Aber jetzt ist Krise. Und deswegen dauert der gefühlte Winter noch eine Weile. Ich will nicht schwarzsehen, aber mindestens bis 2010. Wenn wir Glück haben. Und bis dahin sieht es verdammt mies aus. Banken versinken schneller, als ihre Topmanager beim Sprung aus der Chefetage vom 25sten Stock bis auf den Asphalt brauchen, Finanzmärkte brechen zusammen, die Wirtschaft liegt am Boden. Weltweit. Die Autobranche benötigt Ver- kaufshilfen von der Regierung, die Textilbranche schrumpft und der gesamte Mittel- stand hat Zukunftsangst. Verlage machen pleite, Zeitschriften werden eingestampft, Fernsehsendern wird der Stecker gezogen, die Werbung kämpft um die kargen Mittel ihrer Kunden, man hat den Eindruck, die gesamte Medienwelt liege im Sterben. Man kann es nicht schönreden, es herrscht – mit einem Wort – Endzeitstimmung. Bei curt war es bisher eigentlich eher unüblich, wie in normalen Magazinen an dieser Stelle über den Inhalt zu sprechen. Aber ich will diesmal eine Ausnahme machen. Aus gutem Grund, denn die aktuelle Ausgabe ist keine gewöhnliche. Dieses curt ist ein Abschiedsheft. Ihr werdet in ihm Geschichten und Bilder finden über Kälte, über Tod und über Trauer. Geschichten übers Dichtmachen und vielleicht auch über Hoffnung.

Saturday started with both Essex ‘B’ teams on the wrong end of a drubbing, in fact from the moment that Keith Flint set Yorkshire on their way with a 3-0 win and averaging 31.98 in doing it there was only ever going to be one winner. It was not until the fifteenth set that Hockley’s James Allison (24.78) gave Essex their first point on the board. Cressings Rob Turner (23.74) also managed a win as Yorkshire romped to a 16-2 overnight lead. The Sunday started as the Saturday had finished with Yorkshire in charge. Despite ton plus finishes from both Eddie Gosling and the promoted James Allison, Yorkshire won the first two sets. As if that wasn’t enough Yorkshire then turned the heat up as Harwich’s Scott Lawrie (24.95) was beaten by Scott Waites (34.95) and then Springfield’s James Noone (26.39) was beaten by Garry Thompson (31.86). Essex Ladies ‘A’ finally got the ball rolling as Viv Dundon (22.56) overcame Dee Bateman (22.28) 3-1, Amanda Dodd (16.70) and Sheila Busby (19.05) aided by as maximum followed suit. When Harwich’s Adrian Genery (27.25) won the first match in the second batch of mens ‘A’ games Essex had won four sets on the trot but it didn’t last as Yorkshire continued to punish missed doubles.

  • The Slum Child and the Spaceman
    GA people revised rrr 17/7/07 3:25 pm Page 22 TheThe slumslum childchild andand thethe spacemanspaceman General aviation is not about planes, it’s about people. It’s about what flying can do to raise people’s sights, expand their horizons and help them achieve their potential. Pilots from vastly different backgrounds are brought together by a love of aviation, and no matter where in the world they come from, they speak the same language. Here, Pat Malone tells the stories of two AOPA members, astronaut Michael Foale and charity fundraiser Gautam Lewis, who have nothing in common but their uncanny determination and the unique and special bond that all GA pilots share enormous amounts of energy here, nought to 17,000 mph in eight minutes. And when you come back you have to get rid of the same energy in about 20 minutes. The heat shield is exposed all the time, and we don’t have a material that can be guaranteed to stay intact. And the lack of an escape system is a problem in the space shuttle.” But for Mike, there could be no other life. He likes spacecraft, aeroplanes and gliders – like his fellow astronauts he flies the supersonic Northrop T38 to keep his reactions in trim. He’s a scuba driver, an accomplished and fanatical windsurfer and a cross-country skier, but what he loves more than anything is a problem, preferably complicated and risky, to which he can apply his extraordinary intellect. Mike Foale is about as close as you can get to the perfect specimen of humanity.
