With The Royal Ballet on their annual break, and the rehearsal studios at Covent Garden handed over to visiting artists including Ben Folds and Danza Contemporanea de Cuba, the long summer days are fairly quiet for classical dance fans in Covent Garden.
With this in mind, we'll be posting a series of unreleased films on our YouTube channel over the coming few weeks to tide ballet fans over until the Company returns for the 2015/16 Season in September.
In this clip, Royal Ballet Principals Marianela Nuñez and Vadim Muntagirov perform a section of Frederick Ashton's Symphonic Variations, an abstract work loosely inspired by the four seasons.
Watch more films like this by subscribing to the Royal Opera House YouTube channel:
Marianela Nuñez will perform in Carmen, Tchaikovsky pas de deux, Viscera and Monotones I and II during Autumn 2015.
Vadim Muntagirov will perform in Romeo and Juliet, Tchaikovsky pas de deux, Carmen and The Two Pigeons during Autumn 2015.]]>

What did you think of Cubanía?
Cubanía runs until 2 August 2015. Tickets are still available.]]>
A year is a long time in a young dancer's life. I first met the Russian Principal Vadim Muntagirov late spring in 2014. He was in transition, getting ready to leave English National Ballet (where he had danced since 2009) to start a new chapter with The Royal Ballet. 'When I join The Royal Ballet almost every single role I do will be new to me', he told me at the time.
Vadim is no stranger to challenge, change and motion. He was born into a ballet family (both his parents and sister are professional dancers) in Chelyabinsk – a central Russian town that came to international attention in 2013 as the location of a spectacular meteor fall. He studied at the Perm Ballet School from the age of nine. At 15, having been a prizewinner in the Prix de Lausanne competition, he was offered a handful of international scholarships; he picked London and The Royal Ballet School. He arrived with only a smattering of English, planning to stay for a year. But the School's then Director, Gailene Stock, persuaded him to remain for the rest of his training. The resulting dancer now describes himself as a combination of 'Russian blood and English school'.
He joined English National Ballet at the age of 19, as a Principal. There he formed something of a dream partnership with the Czech ballerina Daria Klimentová. Their on-stage chemistry and 19-year age difference naturally invited comparison to Fonteyn and Nureyev. However, Klimentová retired in 2014 and it was time for Vadim to move on.
His first year with The Royal Ballet has certainly kept him busy: so far he's made his debuts in Onegin (as Lensky), Manon, La Fille mal gardée, Don Quixote, Symphonic Variations and The Four Temperaments, to name a few, as well as returning to known favourites like Swan Lake. It is repertory that ranges from classic to contemporary to abstract, plenty to challenge a dancer hungry to broaden his experience. 'The repertory at The Royal Ballet changes quite fast. Sometimes you are rehearsing and performing two or three ballets a day, while at English National Ballet I had just one production over one or two months', he says.
'It has been really good for me', he explains. 'At ENB I danced very technical repertory, like Swan Lake and The Nutcracker, so it has been very nice to explore ballets and characters that are not only about solos, pirouettes and jumps, but have more narrative: like Lensky in Onegin and Des Grieux in Manon. Here you get to do lots of pas de deux and you are wearing boots, so you can walk on your heels and don't have to point your feet all the time. It makes you feel more like a normal human being in the character, rather than only a ballet dancer.'
He admits that he has found some roles challenging too, particularly in the ballets of Frederick Ashton, whose notoriously lightning-fast style of choreography isn't something Russian-schooled dancers usually prepare for.
'It's the steps', explains Vadim. 'I have a Russian base in me; most of my training was done in Russia and at school we didn't practise the steps that Ashton uses. It's not like in Swan Lake where you have cabrioles, double tours and pirouettes, which you practise every day in class. They used to say in Russia that the school prepares you for the company. But with Ashton, some of the steps I had never seen before.
'For example, Fille has to be fast but it has to be light too because it's a comedy. I found it hard to smile and act as well as to do a double tour and hold a stick in one hand. Symphonic Variations was one of the most difficult ballets I've ever done, even though it is only 17 or 18 minutes long, because there is no story, it is abstract. But I did enjoy it, particularly the coda at the end. It's a challenge, but that's one of the reasons I came to the Company, to be challenged and to learn the English repertory.' Such a modest statement is typical of Muntagirov's quietly thoughtful off-stage presence – what he doesn't mention is how the dance critics unanimously praised both his Colas in Fille and his turn in Symphonic Variations with such adjectives as 'gorgeous', 'effortless' and 'scintillating'.
There's much to look forward to in the 2015/16 Season too. 'You would think because I learnt all that new repertory this year, maybe next year I'd take it easy, but there are even more new ballets to learn', he says with a smile.
In the autumn, he makes his debut in Kenneth MacMillan's Romeo and Juliet – where he is partnering fellow Russian Natalia Osipova, another first for him. 'I have danced the Nureyev and Derek Deane versions of Romeo and Juliet, but never the MacMillan. Natalia has danced it already, so she will help me.'
Further help and coaching has come from Alexander Agadzhanov, The Royal Ballet's senior Répétiteur, whom Vadim was very keen to work with. 'Sasha prepares you for the roles step by step, in detail; he works on the quality first. He has shown me how to pace myself, when to breathe, how I can use less energy but make a step or a jump look twice as good. This really helps me with stamina and pacing in ballets that are new to me.'
Not all his repertory is unfamiliar though. In February 2016 Vadim will perform Albrecht in Giselle. It's his debut for The Royal Ballet, but a role that he knows very well.
'Albrecht was the first role I danced with ENB', he says, 'although I haven't done it now for two or three years. I remember my dad telling me that it was one of the hardest ballets for men, but I really enjoy it; the second act especially is very nice – there's a lot of drama and passion. It's technically difficult, but somehow it just inspires you to dance.'
Will his approach to the role have changed over time? 'Perhaps technically it may feel a little easier. The big change will be the partner I am dancing with; I've only performed Giselle with Daria before, so this will be the first time with someone new. But when I'm on stage I don't think about these things any more – it's too late to worry. I've had my time to prepare. Now is the time to enjoy it – I just go for it, and dance.'
Vadim Muntagirov will perform in The Royal Ballet's Romeo and Juliet, Tchaikovsky pas de deux, Carmen and The Two Pigeons during the Autumn 2015 Season.

When a director asks for animals in a production, it's up to the backstage team to source them; in the case of Carmen it's the responsibility of Jack Stookes, who is stage managing the opera's revival in October.
'We use a company called Animal Ambassadors, managed by an animal agent, Kay Weston. She has been arranging the contracts with The Royal Opera for years and always supplies us with fantastic animals that are all stageworthy, trained using a reward system. When a show is new we liaise with her and the director over breeds and colours; when it's a revival we make sure what we get is as consistent as possible with what we had before.' Jack and his team also have to deal with the red tape: health and safety inspections, council licences and registering the chickens with DEFRA.
Besides the birds, Carmen features a black horse, Louis, and a donkey, Pollyanne, which are both regulars to this production. The animals are brought to Covent Garden at least an hour before curtain-up – Westminster Council has provided a space for a horsebox outside the theatre — then taken backstage by their handlers to acclimatize in their own holding areas.
'Louis has been doing shows for years,' says Jack. 'He's gentle and unfazed by anything, whether an orchestra, singing or gunshots.' The singer playing Escamillo makes his big entrance on horseback, and to prepare he spends a day at the stables. 'It's vital the singers and horse are introduced,' explains Kay. 'It's actually written into the insurance contract. The singer gets familiar with the tack and the horse and gets used to riding and singing at the same time. People are often more nervous than the animals.'
Handlers, who are in costume to blend in with the cast, also accompany animals on and off stage at all times. The chickens are brought on with handlers — two birds in a basket and two held by a handler, usually Kay in costume. In earlier productions they would let the chickens peck around on the stage but they tended to wander off into the wings. 'Last time The Royal Opera asked for white chickens, to stand out on stage,' says Kay. 'This time we are providing brown ones. The white ones were a little too feisty. I only have the chickens for a few months so perhaps they'd not been handled enough as chicks. We don't train them as such but we make sure they are comfortable with being held.'
'The chickens seem very happy,' adds Jack, 'so much so that they lay – quite often we have a couple of fresh eggs on the props table after performances.'
The team has to be aware of potential problems, however, as Jack explains: 'Last time we did Carmen there was a beam of light that cut across the stage in a performance, which we didn't have time to fix before the horse went on. When Louis got to that point he stopped, thinking it was a gap. It's important to be aware of things that the animal might interpret as unsafe, and the handlers are vital as they know the animal and can tell us.'
There's also the matter of safety on stage. 'Louis is fitted with rubber shoes to stop him from slipping,' says Kay, 'but when we provided another horse for Falstaff, his hooves were too big for the shoes so they treated the stage with Slip No More.'
And what about the delicate subject of toilet training? It's easily done with dogs, but horses and donkeys are surely another matter.
'It's usually not an issue during a performance,' laughs Kay. 'They have a person sitting on their back and are standing on a hard surface, which isn't conducive. If it does happen it's during an early rehearsal where the animal is unfamiliar with the surroundings. Handlers always have a basket on stage to catch anything, or we'd just bring on some mops — I'm sure the audience would love it! Let's say you just have to go with the flow.'
Carmen runs from 19 October-30 November 2015. Tickets are still available.
The production is staged with generous philanthropic support from the Royal Opera House Endowment Fund.

Royal Ballet Principal Guest Artist Carlos Acosta was recently interviewed by Channel 4 News ahead of the return of Cubanía, the dancer/choreographer's mixed programme featuring leading artists from his homeland.
'I want to transition to contemporary dance while I'm at the top', Carlos told interviewer Jon Snow.
'Cubanía is very demanding because I have to jump from one kind of dancing to another — from classical to afro-Cuban; from folkloric to contemporary dance. At the end of the day, I'm done!'
As well as discussing Cubanía, the Havana-born Principal Guest Artist also reflected on his childhood, growing up as the eleventh child of an impoverished family in one of the Cuban capital's roughest districts:
'At the age of nine or ten years old, we used to steal mangos to pay for movie theatre tickets. My father saw that if this continued, it would become worse. You could say that I was forced into ballet. At first I didn't know what ballet was and secondly, I didn't like it. The Cuban culture is a machismo culture — If you are a man you don't do ballet. But what's not to love about ballet?'
The interview took place in a week that saw a thaw in US-Cuban relations, and the re-establishment of diplomatic links between the two countries:
'It's a wonderful step', Carlos said. 'The countries have been enemies for far too long and it was completely pointless. Everyone has been waiting for this day. I think a lot will happen as a result of the two countries being friends again.'
Carlos is currently developing plans for a new ballet school in Cuba, a project that reflects his longer term plans after the 2015/16 Season:
'I want to build a platform so that long after I'm gone, young dancers from all over the world — not just from Cuba — can educate themselves in this art form that has given me so much.'
Cubanía runs 27 July–2 August 2015. Tickets are still available.
Carlos is also choreographing a new production of Carmen, which runs in a mixed programme from 26 October–12 November 2015. Tickets are available.
The Story Begins…
Peter Pan is a boy who refuses to grow up. When he loses his shadow, Wendy Darling helps sew it back on. Peter then convinces Wendy and her brothers John and Michael to come with him to Neverland, where Wendy can be a mother to his troupe of Lost Boys. In Neverland they have countless fantastic adventures, and help Peter fight the fiendish pirate Captain Hook; Hook has had it in for Peter ever since he fed his arm to a crocodile. John, Michael and the Lost Boys soon they realize that they want to go home to Mr and Mrs Darling – but can they convince Peter to join them?
Enduring Enchantment
Scottish writer J. M. Barrie won fame for his fiction and plays soon after he moved to London in 1885. He had his greatest success with his 1904 play Peter Pan, which broke box office records and became a permanent staple of London Christmas theatre for the next 30 years. Peter Pan's popularity has proved permanent: after Barrie's own adaptation of the play into a novel, Peter and Wendy, in 1911 there have followed innumerable books, comics, films and stage works, making Peter Pan one of the mostly widely recognized characters in children's literature. Barrie bequeathed the copyright of Peter Pan (and the considerable proceeds from these adaptations) to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.
Stories from Childhood
When composer Richard Ayres was commissioned to write a new opera for Oper Stuttgart, Peter Pan was his first thought: 'I wanted to make something that I could take my eight-year-old daughter to, that both she and I would enjoy'. His librettist, poet Lavinia Greenlaw, was less certain, concerned about the character's familiarity. 'And then I started thinking about all the things I object to in other people's interpretations of the story… I wondered why it was that this particular story is one that we hang onto from our childhood. That led Richard and me into conversations about family and home and how we perpetuate and sometimes detonate those structures. And from there I became interested in J.M. Barrie and why he wrote it; how the work evolved. By then I realized that I was committed to the idea.'
The Boy who Never Grows Old
Barrie's eternal child has inspired numerous different readings. Ayres was intrigued by what it is that makes the difference between being a child and being an adult. 'There's a lack of inhibition in children that makes it possible for them to get caught up in a vividly exciting imaginary existence', he says. 'That's something that creative artists have to find again for themselves.' For Greenlaw, 'the refusal of Peter to grow up is the refusal to develop empathy. He has an animal-like quality, a detachment, that can make him appear callous'. In their opera, this ageless character is sung by a counter-tenor – a voice Ayres was drawn to for its 'ungendered, ageless and strange' qualities.
A Terrible Innocence
This new production of Ayres and Greenlaw's Peter Pan, directed by acclaimed British director Keith Warner, was commissioned by Welsh National Opera as part of their 'Terrible Innocence' season, alongside Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande and Mozart's The Magic Flute. WNO's Director David Pountney believes Peter and Mélisande are characters of 'enormous charm, beauty, grace and, apparently, innocence'; their abilities to live beyond the rules has the power 'to cause destruction and mayhem among those of us whose lives are governed by more prosaic realities'. WNO's performances of Peter Pan at the Royal Opera House come in the second year of a new partnership between the two companies, which saw performances of Schoenberg's Moses und Aron in 2014 and will see the London premiere of Iain Bell's In Parenthesis in summer 2016.
Welsh National Opera's Peter Pan runs 24–25 July 2015 at the Royal Opera House. Tickets are still available.]]>
'If classical music comes on, we're like: "Is this even music?"' — Brothers Ethan and Kian were apathetic (to put it mildly) about classical music, and so it was unsurprising that when it came to opera, they had never seen one before.
That all changed last November when the boys, accompanied by their mum Meeta, attended a Welcome Performance of The Royal Opera's L'elisir d'amore.
Welcome Performances are exclusively for families that have never been to the Royal Opera House before, offering them the opportunity to see an opera or a ballet performance for a fraction of the usual cost priced from just £5.
In addition to the production, Welcome Performances also involve pre-show activities focused around ballet, opera, and backstage crafts. With these, Ethan and Kian had the opportunity to play with musical instruments, explore the ROH Armoury and even make their own L'elisir d'amore-inspired potion.
'How do they hold a note for so long?!' wondered Kian after the curtain went down on the performance. Reflecting on the day, the boys concluded that they really enjoyed their first opera experience and look forward to seeing a ballet on their next visit.
The next Welcome Performance for families will be The Royal Ballet's Romeo and Juliet on 19 September 2015. Registration is now open ahead of booking on 24 July.

Carlos Acosta: Dancer and Choreographer
Royal Ballet Principal Guest Artist Carlos Acosta is one of the most acclaimed ballet dancers of his generation. He has also choreographed, produced and curated shows across Europe – including Don Quixote and his forthcoming Carmen for The Royal Ballet. For Cubanía, first performed at the Royal Opera House in 2014 and revived this summer, Acosta invites a range of choreographers and dancers to perform in a thrilling mixed programme alongside his own Tocoroco Suite – making a vibrant homage to the culture and dance traditions of his homeland, Cuba.
The Journey from Cuba
One of Acosta's aims when he devised Cubanía was 'to bring together some of the Cuban artists I have worked with over the years, many of whom have travelled a long way on the journey with me'. Among these artists are dancers Alexander Varona and Verónica Corveas, choreographer Miguel Altunaga and leading Cuban dance ensemble Danza Contemporánea de Cuba. The works in Cubanía include a combination of revivals of previous collaborations and pieces created especially for Cubanía.
A Contemporary Collection
The first half of the Cubanía programme is a unique fusion of Cuban and contemporary dance, comprising four short pieces. Acosta himself performs two duets – Altunaga's dynamic Derrumbe and Edwaard Liang's fluid, organic Sight Unseen – with contemporary dancer Pieter Symonds and Royal Ballet Principal Zenaida Yanowsky respectively. In between these works, Varona dances a hypnotic solo, Flux, by Russell Maliphant, and George Cespedes's Ecuación – a striking group work for four dancers and a ten-foot metal cube – is performed by Danza Contemporánea de Cuba.
A Cuban Tale
Acosta's semi-autobiographical Tocororo Suite forms the second part of his diverse programme for Cubanía. This miniature narrative work about a ballet dancer's encounter with a gang of Cuban dancers brings the bustling, party atmosphere of the streets of Havana to the Royal Opera House, combining thrilling group dances from Danza Contemporánea de Cuba with solos from Corveas and Varonas, and a starring role for Acosta himself.
Musical Medley
In addition to many of his regular dance collaborators who are involved in Cubanía, Acosta has also included in the show a wide variety of his favourite music and musicians. Alongside his lively Cuban House Band, who perform onstage in Tocororo, the evening features solos from Cuban violinist Omar Puente and an appearance by Pegasus – a London chamber choir who have previously appeared worked with Acosta on his productions at the Coliseum.
Cubanía runs 27 July–2 August 2015. Tickets are still available.]]>
The winners of Operalia 2015 have been announced.
First prizes went to Romanian tenor Ioan Hotea and Norwegian soprano Lise Davidsen. Hotea also won the Don Plácido Domingo, Sr. prize for Zarzuela, while Davidsen won the Birgit Nilsson Prize and the Rolex Audience Prize.
Royal Opera Jette Parker Young Artist Kiandra Howarth won the Culturarte Prize.
The full list of winners is as follows:
Founded in 1993 by Plácido Domingo, the Operalia competition has helped launch the careers of the best young opera singers in the world. It has become one of the most prestigious vocal competitions, with many of the most famous names in opera past prize-winners and finalists. Previous winners include Nina Stemme, Joyce DiDonato, Rolando Villazón, Erwin Schrott and Sonya Yoncheva.
Operalia is sponsored by Rolex.]]>
Domingo's Operalia
Plácido Domingo is one of the greatest singers of his generation. In the 1990s he took opera to a global audience as part of the Three Tenors. In recent years he has added baritone roles to his repertory, in addition to conducting for companies around the world and working as General Director for LA Opera. In 1993 he founded Operalia, an opera competition with a mission 'to support exceptionally gifted young artists, and help them launch international careers'. Operalia has been held annually ever since, and its alumni include some of the most acclaimed singers of today.
How Does It Work?
Operalia is open to opera singers aged 18–32 of any voice type. The competition headquarters in Paris receive around 1,000 applications every year. A jury of three opera professionals listen to the recordings sent in by applicants and select 40 singers to participate. Over two days of quarter-finals the shortlist of 40 sing before a jury of ten opera experts, who select 20 to go through to the semi-finals. Both quarter- and semi-finals and carried out in audition conditions, with the singers accompanied by piano. Finally, ten singers make it to the final – an opera gala concert held before a full audience, accompanied by a full orchestra and conducted by Domingo.
It Doesn't End There
It's crucial to Domingo's vision for Operalia that it is more than just a competition – it is a genuine launch pad for the next generation of opera singers. The jury comprises artistic and casting directors from leading companies around the world – 2015's jury includes representatives from The Royal Opera, the Metropolitan Opera, New York, the Glyndebourne and Bayreuth festivals and Paris Opéra among others. Getting the attention of the world's top opera companies makes taking part in Operalia a career-making opportunity, for all 40 participants. Those singers not quite ready for professional bookings often go on to find places on prestigious young artist programmes, including Domingo's own programmes in Washington D.C., Los Angeles and Valencia.
Operalia at the Royal Opera House
Operalia is held at a different city each year, and in 2015 comes to the Royal Opera House in London for the first time. But The Royal Opera's relationship with Operalia goes back further than that: The Royal Opera's Director of Casting Peter Katona has been on the jury every year since 1999, and many Operalia alumni are regular performers here – among them Nina Stemme, John Osborn, Erwin Schrott, Joyce DiDonato, Rolando Villazón, Joseph Calleja, Carmen Giannattasio, Ailyn Pérez, Dmytro Popov, Sonya Yonchevaand many many more.
What Is Zarzuela?
Zarzuela is a Spanish genre of operetta, a light opera that mixes song with spoken dialogue and dance. Domingo's parents were both zarzuela performers, and in honour of them he introduced a zarzuela category into Operalia in 1995. Participants entering themselves for the zarzuela prize perform a zarzuela aria in addition to the operatic arias they sing at each level of the competition. Previous zarzuela winners include Ana María Martínez, Rolando Villazón, Isabel Bayrakdarian, Jennifer Check, Angel Blue, Pretty Yende, Janai Brugger and Rachel Willis-Sørensen.
Plácido Domingo's Operalia will take place at the Royal Opera House on 19 July 2015. A small number of tickets are still available.
The performance will be live streamed on medici.tv.]]>

While Orexigen (OREX +68%) has reason to feel good about restarting development of its rejected obesity drug Contrave, the path to approval remains pockmarked with risk and expense. With the FDA asking for an almost unprecedented 10K-patient safety study, Adam Feurstein says 2015-2016 (vs. OREX's 2014) is a more realistic timeline.

This is a music video about the Indian movie "Hey Ram". With Kamal Hassan, Shahrukh Khan, Rani Mukerji.
"Kein Zurück" is a very melancholic and beautiful song by Wolfsheim.
Below the English translation:
No Way Back
Do you still remember how it was like?
Wonderful childhood
the world is full of color and beauty
Until one day you realise
that not every goodbye
implies a reunion
Always forward, step by step
there is no way back
and what is now
can never be undone
Time escapes us
what's done is done
And what is now
will never happen again in the same way
There is no way back
There is no way back
A word too much, spoken in anger
a step too far you dared to go
and all is lost
Whatever is done now
what I said remains spoken
and what seemed like eternity
is already past
Oh, if I could just once
turn back the clocks
because so much of
what I know today
I'd prefer never having seen
There is no way back.
There is no way back.
Your life is just running in circles
full of time that is carelessly thrown away
you procrastinate your dreams endlessly
you intend to live someday
but when if not today?
Someday even a dream is too long ago

The news of Big Sean and Naya Rivera's breakup hit the web yesterday. The rapper's rep released a statement saying, "After careful thought and much consideration, Sean has made the difficult decision to call the wedding off." The announcement didn't include details on why he ended their short engagement, but thanks to our friends over at TMZ we have a little more insight.
MUST READ: The Wedding Is Off! Big Sean Ends Engagement To Naya Rivera
According to reports, the Good Music star made the decision weeks ago after realizing Naya was too controlling. The "Glee" star allegedly wanted to know where he was at all time and even sent threats like, "If you don't listen to what I say, I'll ruin your career."
Apparently the 27-year-old actress has a violent side as well. "We're told she was suspicious whenever Sean was with other women and would work herself up into jealous rages,' the site reports, "once breaking an expensive lamp during a rampage in his home."
MUST READ: I Hate Big Sean For Leaving His HS Sweetheart Ringless
Before calling it quits, Big Sean took Naya to couples counseling, and apparently worked because he realized she was not what he wanted.
The former lovebirds met on Twitter last year and announced their engagement just six months later.

10 of 10 people found the following review helpful
useful, reliable, simple,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Vegetarian Dishes from the Middle East (Hardcover)
I can't really add anything new here, but just to second 'girl on a bus' on how the recipes can look so similiar but taste so different. Also like others I'd have loved pictures, and I usually avoid cookbooks with no photos, but even so this book is well worth having. The recipes are no fuss, short ingredients lists and simple techniques, this is everyday coooking but with interesting flavours. I tend to grab this book off the shelf on those days when I think I haven't anything in and somehow I'll find something I can make. It's great for using store cupboard items like pulses and grains and if you only have just one or two veggies in the house then you'll find something to use them in, provided you have a selection of herbs and spices available of course. A useful addition.

Ancestors & relatives never really go away, they get buried, cremated or vaulted in a sacred place for us to visit and remember. After all, where would we be without our ancestors? As much as it hurts to lose a loved one, we must be thankful for the time we had together. These memorials in FIND A GRAVE are growing by a million a month and make it easier for the world to find & see the memorials of their loved ones. Through these memorials, they live on.
Passionate is an understatement, Genealogy & Cemeteries are a big part of my life. Have 35 years of sometimes obsessive research under my belt. I'm one of the very few volunteers for Madison County, NY which is 662 square miles with 285 Cemeteries and endless hills (up to 1800 ft) & valleys, so go easy on me folks.
Genealogically I picked up where my
and his father left off. I specialize in Madison County, NY and surrounding areas and Warren County, NY. If you find your relative in my memorials and would like transfers or to add bios, or corrections let me know. All my photos are free for distribution.
Though it feels like "good-bye", we know that in reality, for those of us who have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ it is merely, "see-you-later"

Rebecca Swift Brown
Hi Andrew,
I recently found out that I am descended from Rebecca Swift Brown & Emerson Brown (buried in Peterboro Cemetery). I was told by a distant relative that Rebecca was born in Barnstable County, Massachusetts and was the daughter of Silas & Deborah Tobey Swift, but I have not seen any documentation for this.
I noticed that in addition to adding Rebecca's findagrave.com memorial page (# 33520908) you also had added her sister, Abigail Swift Mathewson's page (Memorial #23646175). And in Abigail's page you had detailed that Abigail was the sister of Silas & Deborah Tobey Swift. I was wondering how you determined that despite Abigail not even having a headstone.
And was it just an oversight that Rebecca's parents were not included in on her page or do you not have proof of who Rebecca's parents were.
Anything you would be able to tell me would be very much appreciated!
Thank you,
Kathy (#48467660)

Cousin Jim
Athol Gallups and etc
You had said; "Years ago (early 80's) I corresponded with Zella Selfridge, she sent me Gallup genealogy. My family keeps in touch with Marj & Ernie Gallup family, cousins"
Zella was my mother, who d. Sept 8, 2005, bur. on my lot at Gansevoort Cem. look it up on this web- site.
Someone was nice enough to do a 'drive by shooting' of my own dam cemetery lot before I could put some GOOD pix on it, and the guy WILL NOT answer queries. Makes me a mite furious, but (shrug)...
Ernie died back in 2007 and I don't know about Marge, as I haven't seen them at a family reunion since the early '90's and the Glens Falls paper has a real funky search engine.
I have the history of Thurman, NY and a book of it's cemetery contents if you have any questions..
SO.. that makes you and me cousins, too.
RSVP, Cuz!!

Eaton Farm Cemetery
Hi Andrew,
You thankfully created a memorial for a Judson Jerritt Mace at Eaton Farm Cemetery in 2009. From the information you recorded, I think there must be a stone there. Would it be possible for you to take a picture of the stone or do you know of anyone that can take the picture and either post it at findagrave or send it to me (and I'll post it). I did request a photo at findagrave, but the other 2 requests were from 2010 and haven't been fulfilled. Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated. My member number: #47226446 under Rebecca Ott

Thank you so much for taking the photos at Welsh Church Union Cemetery in Nelson, NY for the Matteson family. The stones for George, Clarissa and Sophronia are wonderfully preserved. The photo for Sarah not so much. Can you read the dates on Sarah's tombstone? I've fooled around with the contrast, but I just can't pick up on the dates. She is my husband's ancestor.

Note: Essay below may appear distorted but all corresponding word document files will contain proper formattingExcerpt from Research Paper:
One is pits the doctor against the patient or his caregiver rather than collaborates. Another is that the withholding or withdrawal of a supposedly useless treatment may hasten the patient's death and lose the last chance at cure and survival (Eskildsen).
The lack of a unified jurisprudence on medical futility and Supreme Court decisions as guides to physicians tending terminal patients prompted the American Medical Association to come up with guidelines (Eskildsen, 2010). A Texas law also represents an attempt to resolve disputes on end-of-life decisions. These two approaches are currently working towards an agreement on what constitutes benefits and harms before asserting a decision on medical futility (Eskildsen).
Nurses' Role and Advocacy
A patient's perspective is influenced by factors in making sense of his illness,
suffering and dying as well as making use of medical services at the end of his life (Pat et
al 2009). A nurse should be aware of, and sensitive about, her patient's need when he needs to make a decision about DNR. She should establish good communication with him in order to eliminate all useless anxiety, misunderstanding and stress (Jevon, 1999 as qtd in Pat et al). Proper communication, decision-making about DNR and public education should clearly be promoted. She can even function as an advocate in decision-making (Street et al, 2000 as qtd in Pat et al).
It is a professional imperative for a nurse to practice advocacy (McSteen, 2006). She must apply the concept of advocacy in an intimate and interpersonal way according to her relationship with the patient. She should function as a guide, liaison, and supporter to a dying patient. She will be able to make the patient and his family better understand what they want by helping them discern their own values. In a deep way, she helps them examine themselves and reach a decision from that self-examination of their own values. It is only through a genuine self-examination can the patient actually achieve a truly self-determined decision (McSteen) on a matter as significant and ultimate as a DNR.
Problems, Solutions and Projection
Recurring conflicts on the ethics of futility between patient advocates and healthcare providers require guidance from the law (Eskildsen, 2010). Scholars argue that unilateral withdrawal of end-of-life care should be resorted to only in rare situations. AMA made a significant step in coming up with a clear recommendation for physicians. However, it has yet to determine what to do in case of irreconcilable differences between patient families and providers (Eskildsen).
When a patient's personal autonomy clashes with the physician's "therapeutic
privilege...? to reveal or withhold information, the solution is informed assent (Curtis &
Burt, 2007). Some clinicians remain wary about the legal aspect of informed assent, which does not require a signed form from the patient or family. This can be solved by providing for an adequate document by other means like a medical record entry by the attending physician (Curtis & Burt).
Some hospitals are not yet equipped with protocols to adequately deal with end-of-life issues (Fields, 2008), A DNR order does not mean no care will be given. It can extend alternative care such as liberalized visiting hours, educational materials, pastoral and counseling services (Fields). There will be more ethical dilemmas to expect. But critical care nurses and other health professionals can anticipate them by taking a proactive position at present and seek out answers in preparation for these dilemmas (Ethical dilemmas will increase in the future. Critical care nurses must take a proactive approach to obtain answers to these problems (Pat et al, 2009). #

Grizzly Head Coach Bob Stitt From Park City Utah [YouTube]
This week, Montana's new head football coach Bob Stitt experienced his first visit to Park City, Utah for the summer meetings of Big Sky Conference football coaches and the media.
This week, Montana's new head football coach Bob Stitt experienced his first visit to Park City, Utah for the summer meetings of Big Sky Conference football coaches and the media.
The University of Montana Grizzlies have landed two offensive players and two defensive players on the Big Sky Conference all-league teams at the opening of the preseason meetings at Park City,Utah.
The Big Sky Conference announced its preseason All-Conference Team today (Monday, July 20).
As is the case with most college basketball conferences around the country, the Big Sky Conference will go neutral.
There's no 'deflategate' controversy surrounding footballs and basketballs used in Big Sky Conference games.
Hey, given how many teams there are in the league, I guess we're good with five out of 30, right?
Our thanks to Joel Carlson in sports information at the University of Montana for this update.
Both the Montana men's and women's basketball teams lost their games on the road on Friday, November 29.
Montana Sports Information says the Lady Griz lost to North Dakota State in the opening game of the Loyola Marymount Double Tree Los Angeles Westside Thanksgiving Classic 70-53 on Friday afternoon
Montana Grizzly football players (pictured in prayer after victory over MSU) and fans have lots to be thankful for.
The Big Sky Conference has named their football players of the week and the Montana Grizzlies are well represented.
It was no contest. The Big Sky Conference has named University of Montana quarterback Jordan Johnson the ROOT Sports offensive player of the week for his performance on Saturday night, September 14, against the University of North Dakota.
The Montana Grizzly football team was picked by both the media and coaches polls to finish third in the Big Sky Conference at their summer media gathering in Park City, Utah.

U.S. regulators are investigating the safety of batteries used to power electric vehicles after a General Motors Co. (Detroit, Mich., U.S.A.) Chevrolet Volt caught fire following a routine crash test.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Friday that it has asked other manufacturers who make electric cars or who plan to do so for information on how they handle lithium-ion batteries. The request also includes recommendations for minimizing fire risk.
The NHTSA said it does not believe the Volt and other electric vehicles are at greater risk for fire than gasoline-powered engines.
"First and foremost, I want to make this very clear: The Volt is a safe car," Jim Federico, GM chief engineer for electric vehicles, said in a statement. "We are working cooperatively with NHTSA as it completes its investigation, however, NHTSA has stated that based on available data, there's no greater risk of fire with a Volt than a traditional gas-powered car."
The Volt is a plug-in electric hybrid that also has a gasoline engine. The Volt crash test was conducted last May at a facility in Wisconsin. The fire did not break out until more than three weeks later.
GM said it was not aware of any other Volt fires. A senior NHTSA official said the agency has received no consumer complaints about fires involving GM or other electric cars. Both GM and NHTSA conducted follow-up tests and could not repeat the fire. The agency plans additional electric car battery tests with Energy Department experts in coming weeks.
If safety concerns were to slow the uptake of electric vehicles, that could endanger President Barack Obama's goal of putting a million EVs on the road by 2015. To drive that goal, the Energy Department has provided about $2.5 billion in funding to battery companies, automakers and related firms in recent years.
A range of new electric vehicles, including the Volt and upcoming models from Tesla Motors Inc and Fisker, are powered by the same kind of lithium-ion batteries that have long been used in consumer electronics. Those batteries deliver the power and range that electric vehicles require, but the current generation of lithium-ion batteries also has a tendency to overheat.
Nissan Motor Co Ltd (Yokohama, Japan) makes the other mass-produced electric car, the Leaf. Nissan officials said there have been no reports of Leaf fires.
"The Nissan Leaf battery pack has been designed with multiple safety systems in place to help ensure its safety in the real world," Nissan spokesman David Reuter said.
"All of our systems have been thoroughly tested to ensure real-world performance," he added. "To date, the more than 8,000 Nissan Leafs driving on the U.S. roads have performed without reported incident."
South Korean battery maker LG Chem Ltd (Seoul, South Korea), which supplies the Volt battery cells, had no immediate comment.
NHTSA said the Volt crash test last May -- a side-impact test -- damaged the battery pack, but the exact reason for the fire is not yet clear.
"Apparently, there was some cell activity, latent activity that resulted in the fire," the NHTSA official said. "That cell activity we don't know."
The Volt carries a nearly 400-pound lithium-ion battery in a T-shape that sits across the rear and runs down the middle of the car between the passenger seats. American consumers have been slow to embrace electric and rechargeable vehicles, in part because of their additional cost. Pure electric vehicles like the Leaf also have limited range before recharging.
The Volt has a gas-powered 1.4-liter engine to provide additional range after it has run about 40 miles on a fully-charged battery. GM has sold about 5,000 Volts. The plug-in hybrid costs $40,000 before a $7,500 consumer tax credit.

CHARLESTON, SC - Venues Today Magazine, a popular trade publication for the world of sporting and entertainment arenas, has joined the many that believe the Charleston RiverDogs' new Beer Shakes are simply sensational.
They liked it so much that they've listed the unique beverage as their "Best New Menu Item" for 2013 and have honored the shakes with their "Silver Spoon Award."
"Our panel of judges voted, and Beer Shakes at Joseph R. Riley, Jr. Park were chosen as 'Best New Menu Item' for 2013," said Venues Today staff writer Jessica Boudevin. "I guess when you put two of people's favorite things together, it's bound to be a winner!"
Beer Shakes, which made their debut in April, are available in three distinct flavors - Palmetto Espresso Porter Chocolate (from a local brewery), Guinness Caramel and Sweetwater 420 Strawberry.
Boudevin stated that she is working on an article about the Beer Shakes for an upcoming issue and will interview John Schumacher, the food guru for the RiverDogs and their ownership group, The Goldklang Group. Boudevin plans to expand on when the idea was first conceptualized, how Palmetto Brewery is involved and why RiverDogs fans have embraced the Beer Shakes.
"We've been very pleased with the positive response our fans have had for our Beer Shakes," said Schumacher. "We are ecstatic that we've sold more than 3,000 Beer Shakes through the first half of the season.
"We also decided to team with Advintage, a local distributor who specializes in Micro Breweries, to create Monthly Beer Shake specials," Schumacher added. "In July we are running a Banana Nut Bread Beer Shake and for August, we are using Anderson Valley Oatmeal Stout and Rum Raisin Ice Cream to create a Oatmeal-Raisin Cookie Beer Shake.
"As the owner of the local craft brewery, working with our local hometown team has been fun and promoted both our brands in the local, regional and national media," said Larry Lipov of Palmetto Brewery.
Venues Today is a leading international trade publication that covers the business side of entertainment and sports, particularly as it relates to venues. It is published in Huntington Beach, Calif.

MP3 of the Day: Kenny "Roaster" Rogers at His Freakiest
Because of Tuesday's We Were Wolves/Satin Hooks show (our ears are still ringing), the Mink moved its weekly movie night to 9 p.m. tonight, but it's worth the wait. They'll be showing the Coen brothers' 1996 classic The Big Lebowski, with $3 White Russians and a pair of Sunny Day Real Estate tickets up for grabs.Lebowski is an homage to White Russians, nihilism and slack - and, although Kingpin comes pretty close, probably the funniest bowling movie ever made. Rocks Off's favorite part has always been the dream sequence/production number scored to Kenny Rogers & the First Edition's "Just Dropped In (to See What Condition My Condition Was In)." Even if you're not stoned when you watch it - a condition most Lebowski fans know a little something about - these five minutes or so will sure make you feel stoned. "Condition" has been memorably covered by Willie Nelson and Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, but Rogers' original is still our favorite. We never get tired of bringing it up whenever someone argues that all the Roaster was ever good for was treacly pop-country ballads like "Lady" and "Through the Years."

With the explosive victory of first-time starter,
Eblouissante, last week, her dam, Vertigineux, has been receiving accolades
left and right of late as the most prized broodmare in all the land. That honor
may be well deserved for the 2008 broodmare of the year, but on the other hand,
there may be another mare in the Bluegrass with even a bigger claim to fame.
This past week reminds me what a truly great producer the Unbridled mare Oatsee
has proven to be. The 15-year-old chestnut mare enjoyed yet another stakes win
yesterday when her five-year-old daughter, Afleeting Lady (Afleet Alex) romped
home to an easy win in the Grade 2 Falls City Handicap at Churchill Downs.
It marked the biggest win of her twenty race career,
but came as no surprise. Afleeting Lady is a mare on a roll, with three
authoritative stakes wins, at three different tracks, in her last three starts.
For her dam, Oatsee, (right) it was just business as usual. Six days earlier, her
promising three-year-old son, Stephanoatsee (A.P. Indy) may not have returned a
winner in Grade 3 Discovery, but his third place finish continued a trend
upwards for the colt who had become a stakes winner in his previous start at
Delaware Park. Not to be forgotten, of course, is her most recognizable
offspring, Shackleford (Forestry). Today's Grade 1 Clark Handicap offers the
2011 Preakness and 2012 Met Mile winner one last chance to add to an already impressive
career. Whether or not Shackleford (above) can win today, Oatsee is having an even
better season than last year when she was named Broodmare of the Year.
Oatsee, out of the Lear Fan mare, With Every Wish, was
only a decent runner, but has produced far more talent than she ever
demonstrated on the racetrack. She finished her racing career 2-for-21, with
earnings of $106,945, and was stakes placed in three seasons of competition.
Purchased as a broodmare in January of 2006, Oatsee quickly paid dividends to
her owners.
Later that summer, her second foal, Baghdaria (Royal
Academy) won several stakes including the Indiana and Iowa Oaks, and her third
foal, Lady Joanne (Orientate) finished the year off with a grade 2 victory in
the Golden Rod Stakes. Lady Joanne would go on to become a grade 1 winner the
following year with a big win in the prestigious Alabama Stakes. In the span of
two years, the value of the young broodmare skyrocketed.
Oatsee was purchased by Leonard Reggio's My Meadowview Farm for $1,550,000 at the 2008 Keeneland November breeding stock sale, and now
with the class displayed by her three current runners, that price tag would
seem to be a bargain. Look for more to come soon from the great broodmare,
Oatsee. She has an unraced juvenile colt by Johannesburg, named Dare Me,
currently residing in the Graham Motion barn, and has a weanling filly by
Indian Charlie.

Day 3: Chicago
Day 3 started with free breakfast at our hostel. Then we headed straight to the train to get to Willis Tower. Luckily, this time, we beat the crowd. There was barely a wait at all. The tower has a pretty neat history behind it and going out onto the Skydeck was really cool. After that, we headed to Millennium Park, where we relaxed, tossed a frisbee around, and entertained ourselves at The Bean for a while. We ...
Wrapping It Up How It All Began
We started our year long journey visiting our aunt, uncle, and young cousins in Dallas. They have since moved to Chicago and we have ended our trip with the same fun, warm family. We met Uncle Paul at his downtown office to admire the awesome city view he gets at work. After having a quick tour of their new home, Cindy came home from school with the kids. We were very excited to ...
My Itinerary

Chicago Day 2
Wow - what a day! Hopefully I am going to build up lots of fitness from walking pretty much everywhere! I got up and had breakfast here at my B&B at 8am, and I had fruit and cereal and they also made me a plate sized blueberry pancake!!! It was huge!!! I could only finish half of it as it was just too filling... It was made with wholewheat flour which is why it was quite sustaining. There is a cat that lives here and her name is Maggie! She is 18 years old ...
