Powering ahead at Holland America Group
Stein Kruse, CEO of Holland America Group, tells Jacqui Griffiths how the group is empowering its brands to go from strength to strength
Holland America Line launched Koningsdam on 31 March 2016
This article was first published in the Autumn/Winter 2016 issue of International Cruise & Ferry Review. All information was correct at the time of printing, but may since have changed.
Less than three years since Holland America Group was formed, each of its brands is looking forward to the delivery of newbuilds. For Stein Kruse, the group's CEO, it's all part of a collaborative approach that empowers each brand to reach its full potential.
"The key to success is to allow the brands to be as focused as possible on their messaging, their identity and how they communicate that to their target audience," says Kruse. "My job is to allow those brand leaders – Jan Swartz at Princess Cruises, Orlando Ashford at Holland America Line, Rick Meadows at Seabourn Cruise Line and Sture Myrmell at P&O Australia – to lead their brand in the best direction to optimise its profile. The synergies that we derive from having a focused service side mean that aspects such as financial, legal, human resources and operational services are taken care of so the brands don't have to worry about them. That empowers the creative side of the brand."
Princess Cruises' expansion in China exemplifies the possibilities. "Princess is very focused on China as an emerging and increasingly important market for the brand," says Kruse. "When I took responsibility for the group we hadn't made any decisions with regard to long-term strategy in China other than that we knew we were going to open offices and continue to expand our presence. Then Jan Swartz, myself and Carnival Corporation chairman Micky Arison decided together that we needed to take advantage of the magic around the Princess name and its growth in China, and dedicate a Royal/Regal class ship year-round to China."
The result is Majestic Princess, which is due for delivery in spring 2017. "Majestic Princess will be the first purpose-built ship from a North American company to sail year-round in China, catering exclusively to Chinese passengers," says Kruse. "She will have numerous touches that are designed to enhance the cruise experience for Chinese guests. That's an example of how we can take advantage of a powerful brand that is already global and is nascent in an emerging market, and push it even further by giving it the capital injection that a new ship involves."
P&O Australia is also set to benefit from that approach. Already a household name across Australia, the line has been operating with ships that were originally designed for other brands. But earlier this year, the group decided to build a brand new ship for P&O Australia, which will be introduced in autumn 2019. "We are now finalising the design of what that ship will look like," says Kruse. "She will be the first ever purpose-built ship for P&O Australia, with touches that are purpose-designed for the Australian cruise market. That decision is another reflection of how the brand strategy of Carnival Corporation and Holland America Group is really working for the brands. It takes an already powerful brand and allows it to supercharge itself and signal to its core market that it's going to give them the best it can give."
More newbuilds are in the pipeline across the group's brand portfolio. Holland America Line recently took delivery of Koningsdam and is looking forward to the arrival of her sister ship, Nieuw Statendam, in 2018. "Koningsdam is a beautiful ship and her introduction was very successful," says Kruse. "All the comments we have seen from the media, travel agents, passengers and our own staff exude enthusiasm and excitement."
For Princess Cruises, the arrival of the Majestic Princess in spring 2017 will be followed by two more Royal/Regal class ships in 2019 and 2020. Like Majestic Princess, both are being built by Fincantieri in Monfalcone, Italy.
Seabourn is busy too. Having sold its original three ships, the brand is now adding two newbuilds to its existing fleet of Seabourn Odyssey, Seabourn Sojourn and Seabourn Quest. Seabourn Encore will be delivered at the end of 2016, with her sister ship, Seabourn Ovation, following in summer 2018.
"Basically we have ship deliveries this year, in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020," says Kruse. "It's an opportunity to really allow the brands to continue to strengthen their message around the scale of their business, their ability to serve a global audience and their ability to target different source markets and provide new, exciting and innovative ship experiences for their customers."
It's a busy time for the group on land, too. Its new office building is set for completion by the end of 2016, and all of its deck and engine officers will be rotating through Carnival Corporation's newly-opened Arison Maritime Training Center in Almere, Amsterdam. "The centre is by a mile the most sophisticated technology centre in the world for maritime training," says Kruse. "It has four bridge simulators and two engine room simulators as well as high voltage switchboard training and its own hotel to house the officers that will come through it. We will be rotating through every single deck and engine officer in Carnival Corporation's fleet, many of whom are on Holland America Group ships."
For Kruse, it's all part of a collaborative journey that will see the group's brands going from strength to strength. "When we started our journey as a group just under three years ago we coined an expression about collaboration, communication and coordination, and that's become a sort of mantra for Carnival Corporation as well," he says. "Under Arnold Donald's leadership of Carnival Corporation we have articulated some simple but very powerful messages, and empowered 110,000 employees – including 40,000 who are part of Holland America Group – to deliver incredible experiences that really communicate the excitement and value of cruising and make our guests into advocates and ambassadors for our brands."
Kruse adds: "That's the kind of passion and enthusiasm all of us are trying to achieve and I think the innovation that we're doing, in terms of ship design and how we introduce new ships to new markets, resonates very well. This is really about how you take an already very powerful culture and make it even more effective and exciting. It's not a goal, it's a continuous, exciting journey, and I think we're really moving forward."

Zebulon Estey
Posted on May 18, 2010 by markeminer
Zebulon ESTEY (1742 – 1806) was Alex's 6th Great Grandfather; one of 128 in this generation of the Miller line.
Zebulon was born 14 Dec 1742 in Rowley, Mass. Zebulon was one of Jacob's sons in the Bible. He had a twin brother, John who also grew to adulthood passing in 12 Oct 1824. Their parents were Richard ESTEY I and Ruth FISKE. He married Mary (Molly) BROWN on 8 Aug 1765 in Newburyport, Mass. Zebulon died on 10 Oct 1806 in Canning Parish, Queens County, New Brunswick, Canada.
The Esteys resided in Rowley, Mass until 1764 when they relocated to a settlement on the St John's River in New Brunswick Canada called Maugerville. See my post New England Planters in New Brunswick for their history. Zebulon made the trip the next year with his new bride and was one of the signers of the original covenant of the Congressional Church. Zebulon's daughter Molly ESTEY married her first cousin Amos ESTEY so many of our direct ancestors made the trip.
Grandfather Richard ESTEY – age 58,
son Richard ESTEY II age 36, wife Hannah HAZEN age 37 and his son Amos ESTEY age 5
son Zebulon ESTEY age 22 and his new bride Molly BROWN
Zeb's twin brother John and sister Sarah who married Thomas Barker also made the trip.
Mary (Mollie) Brown was born 14 Feb 1743 in Newbury, Mass. Her parents were Francis BROWN II and Mercy LOWELL. Another possibility for Mollie's parents is Nehemiah Brown and Mary [__?__] of Ipswich, Massachusetts. Mary died on 9 Aug 1835 in Upper Gagetown, NB

"The River St. John" by Rev. Wm. Raymond published in 1910, pages 334-5:
"On 15 January 1765 on Captain Francis Peabody's schooner, came Zebulon Estey to Maugerville. He paid 12 shillings passage money from Newburyport to St. John and 13s 6d for `his club of Cyder' on the voyage. Richard Estey and Thomas Barker built a saw-mill on a small creek near Middle Island. (After 1765.) They sold it in 1779 – near Maugerville. Richard Estey signed a church covenant for a distinct church society. Many moved from Maugerville due to the annoyance of the spring freshets. [A sudden overflow of a stream resulting from a heavy rain or a thaw] Zebulon Estey moved to Gagetown. Some went across the river to the township of Burton. These included Israel Estey, Moses Estey and Amos Estey."
Gagetown, New Brunswick
About the year 1760, before the landing of the Loyalists, a settlement was ade at Majorville by a company of New Englanders. Zebulon Estey came five years later in 1765. He was one of the few magistrates of New Brunswick when the Loyalists arrived in 1783. He got this appointment in an interesting way. The story is that he had built a mill on a brook near Gagetown, when someone tried to wrest it from him on grounds that he had no claim to the land on which the mill stood. At that time, New Brunswick was not a separate province, but was a part of Nova Scotia. Acordingly Estey had to go to Halifax to gain redress. The governor kindly listened to his grievance and not only gave him a title to the land for which he asked, but added much more to it. He inquired of Estey if there were no magistrates on the St. John river. On being answered in the negative he then and there appointed him a justice of the peace.
Plan of Maugerville, Including Sheffield
The above plan of the river shows the locations of the early settlers of Maugerville; in order ascending the river.
The lower ten lots of the township and Mauger's Island were granted to Joshua Mauger. Just above were the lots of Gervas Say, Nehemiah Hayward, John Russell, Samuel Upton, Zebulon ESTEY, John Estey, Richard ESTEY I and Edward Coy.
At the head of Mauger's Island were the lots of Matthew Wason, Samuel Whitney and Samuel Tapley.
Between Mauger's Island and Middle Island the lots were those of Jeremiah Burpee, Jonathan Burpee, Jacob Barker, Daniel Jewett, Ezekiel Saunders, Humphrey Pickard, Moses Pickard, Jacob Barker, jr., Isaac Stickney and Jonathan Smith.
Opposite Middle Island, in order ascending, were Thomas Barker [Richard ESTEY's son-in-law], John Wason, Daniel Palmer, Richard Kimball, Joseph Garrison, Samuel Nevers, Peter Mooers, Richard ESTEY Jr., Jabez Nevers, Enoch DOW and Hugh Quinton.
Between Middle and Oromocto islands were Thomas Christie, Elisha Nevers, Jedediah Stickney, Stephen Peabody, Capt. Francis Peabody and William McKeen.
Opposite Oromocto Island were Israel Perley (at the foot of the island), Lt.-Col. Beamsley P. Glasier, John Whipple, Nathaniel Rideout, Capt. Francis Peabody, Alexander Tapley, Phineas Nevers, Joseph Dunphy, William Harris, Ammi Howlet, Samuel Peabody and Oliver Peabody.
Above Oromocto Island we find the lots of Asa Perley, Oliver Perley, George Munro, James Simonds, Joseph Buber, Joseph Shaw, Benjamin Brawn, Daniel Burbank, Thomas Hartt and the Widow Clark. Thence to the upper boundary of the township, a distance of two miles, there were at first no settlers, but in the course of time Richard Barlow, Nehemiah Beckwith, Benjamin Atherton, Jeremiah Howland and others took up lots.
By the time the LOYALISTS arrived in 1783, Grimross, as it was then known, had a population of some 200. It was laid out in grid pattern as a possible site for the provincial capital, but Governor Carleton chose St Anne's [Fredericton] and Gagetown became the shire town of Queens County.
During the 19th century it was the most important centre between Fredericton and SAINT JOHN and a prosperous farming and lumbering community. The establishment of GAGETOWN CFB after WWII stripped the village of its hinterland, and the abolition of county government in the 1960s deprived it of its importance as the shire town. Today the village is undergoing a growth in tourism in addition to its apple industry. It is also a popular destination for boaters.
Excerpt from "The Studholme Report – 1783"
"Zebulon Esty has a wife and 8 children. Has been on about 5 years; built a house and grist milland has about 3 acres of cleared land. Went on in consequence of an agreement with Mr. John Crabtree acting as attorney for Capt Jades, and was promised a lease for ever on paymeny of a small acknowlegement yearly. Said Esty is a good man, his character very loyal and we beg leave to recommend him to be confirmed in his possessions"

Zebulon Estey Will 1
1. Mary (Molly) ESTEY (See Amos ESTEY's page)
2. Susanna Estey
Susanna's husband Nathaniel Wright was born after 1760. Since Nathaniel Wright came in 1783 as a single man on the "Two Sisters", with Uriah Wright (with a wife and 7 children) I would suspect he was Uriah's son. Uriah was granted Lot 790 in Parr Town, and land in Bellisle. Wright's book claims that from there, he moved to Queen's County. Uriah returned to the United States and died 21 Aug 1797 in Hollis, New Hampshire. Since they were from New York; I would suspect they were connected with the Westchester Co. Wright's; especially around North Castle. Uriah, however, seems to have come from South East or Frederick Precincts, Fishkill, Dutchess Co., NY. However, in an indictment against him and others (20OCT1776), the others include names: Brundage, Merritt, Fowler, Theal and 'Dickeson', which I would associate with Westchester Co.
There is little information about Susannah and Nathaniel Wright's marriage. Nathaniel petitioned for land in Sunbury Co (1785 twice) and in Queens Co. (1791, 1793, 1802.) In 1791, he petitioned with Nehemiah 'Easty', whom, was probably Susannah's brother. It would seem that Nathaniel Wright at least knew the family of Zebulon Estey; and there is some opinion that he married Zebulon's daughter; so it seems reasonable to suspect; if location and timing seem right, that Zebulon may have been named after his maternal grandfather.
In his claim filed from Bellisle Bay on 18th Jan., 1787, Uriah stated that he was the son of Dennis Wright. He was from Norwalk, Fairfield Co., Conn., and left there fourteen years ago. Went to Dutchess County, N.Y.
I am guessing that one of his children was Nathaniel, who also arrived on the Two Sisters with Company One, and was a single man. Both Nathaniel and Uriah signed a petition, along with other Kingston Inhabitants, seeking means of maintenance for a clergyman in 1786. (Dan Johnston's newspaper vital stats)
I have noted that there were many Connecticut people living in Kingston at the time, as Uriah's neighbours. I wonder if there are any family connections? I also see that there were Peters families close by, who would be parents/sibblings to Uriah's wife, Elizabeth. I think that Elizabeth Peters MAY be a second marriage, but am still exploring that possibility.
I'm wondering if anyone could provide names of Uriah's children, or make any connections to other Wright loyalists who came to New Brunswick?
I'm wondering, for instance, if the Phoebe Wright who recieved land in Bellisle, is connected? Or the Elizabeth Wright, who recieved land on the Kennebecasis,is a relative? Solomon Wright was a Loyalist from Greenwich, Conn., and was probably a close relative to a William Wright (m. Susannah Hunt)
3. Nehemiah Brown Estey
Nehemiah's first wife Mary Jane (Polly) Ring was born 8 Aug 1776 in Salisbury, Essex, Mass. Polly's sister Elizabeth married Nehemiah's brother Thomas. Her parents were Zebedee Ring and Hannah Estabrooks. Polly died 12 Mar 1817 in Gagetown, Queens, New Brunswick, Canada

5. Dorothy (Dolly) Estey
Dorothy's Aug 11, 1843 death was announced in the New Brunswick Courier Newspaper. The spelling of the Curry/Currey/Currie surname is of constant error. In this recording it is Correy
Dorothy's husband David Currie was born 29 Apr 1767 in Peekskill, New York. Curry can be spelled Currie, Currey, Corey, or Corry. His parents were Joshua Currey and Eunice Travis. His nephew Joshua married Dolly's sister Phoebe. He left Peekskill with his loyalist parents, sailing to Gagetown in 1783. David died 12 Aug 1827 in Upper Gagetown, New Brunswick, Canada.
When the American Revolution broke out, Joshua Curry took up arms for the British. His neighbors were on the side of independence, and he had to flee from home under cover of night. Three hundred miles lay between him and the nearest British camp; however, he reached there in safety, and enlisted as a soldier. Before long he was promoted to Lieutenant. His family supposed he was dead as they did not her from him till the war was over. In the fall of 1783, rather than be disloyal to England, he, with his family, left his beautiful home in Peekskill New York and went to New Brunswick, landing at the mouth of the St. John river, in November. They spent the winter there, and in the spring went up the river and purchased land in the parishes of Gagetown and Canning."
David and Dorothy took up their abode in Canning, and God prospered them exceedingly. They owned nearly two thousand acres of land on both sides of the river. There were born to them ten sons and two daughters. The fifth son, whose name was John, and who was born in 1788, married Ann Upton and had nine children. He carried on a large tanning business and was quite wealthy. He died in 1876. His brother George is the only surviving member of the family (1897) and he has lived to see seven generations, both ancestors and descendants.

The following records of the Currie family have been copied from a copy of the Bible (Oxford, 1810) in the possession of the Nebraska State Historical Society. This Bible was found in a house in Lincoln, tucked away in the attic, where it had been left by some former owner. The family records are written on both sides of the title-page of the New Testament. On the flyleaves is written (signed Z. Currie) an ecclesiastical history of the Province of New Brunswick, in which are named the various ministers who preached there prior to 1841. On the title-page is written "Zebulon Currie, His Bible, March 1825 Fredericton, New Brunswick".

In the 1850 census, David and Hannah Curry were living in Porter, Niagara, New York with six children at home ages 13 to 23. David was a Baptist Minister.
v. John Currie b. 16 Dec 1798 in Upper Gagetown, Queens, New Brunswick; d. 26 Jan 1877 in Gagetown, Queens County, New Brunswick, m.his first cousin Anna Upton (b. 1801 in Sheffield, Sunbury, New Brunswick -d. 1888) Anna's parents were Samuel Upton and Betsey Estey (See above). John and Anna settled at Gagetown and had eight children.
John carried on a large tanning business and was quite wealthy.
May 2 1826 – John Currey is appointed to Church Office of the Calvinist Baptist Church of Waterborough, to act as a "clerk" and Mr Hoben is voted to Office of Treasurer.
Jun 17 1830 – Elder Marsters preached on the Obstaining from every appearance of evil particularly the evil of intoxication after which was formed a Society as "Abstanance Society". They chose the President to be Elder Marsters, John Currey as Secretary and David Currey as Treasurer.
Aug 7 1830 – Two months later Elder John C Marsters, John Currey, Jarvis Estabrooks and James Jones met the Branch of the Canning Church in Cumberland Bay. There they held a meeting concerning a grievance that Peter Day and Thomas Wasson were labouring for some time past.
Jan 28 1833 – The Members of the Calvinist Baptist Church of Waterborough, Queens County held a Church meeting. They chose "Brother" Jarvis Davis to act as a Moderator and then proceeded with the Church Business at hand. The first thing that was brought to attention in the meeting was that "Brother" John Currey had been in the "repeated habit of talking against Elder John Marsters" in a way not becoming a man of the word much more a Deacon of the Church to the great dishonour of himself and the cause of Christ which charge John Currey owned to be true. So the majority of the members decided by vote that his conduct was not justifiable and it was moved by the moderator whether or not they would considering the past conduct of Brother John Currey be for the Glory of God and good of the Church to hold him as a Deacon of Christ any longer. The vote was voiced unanimously against John Currey that he should no longer hold the office of Deacon and remain under the displeasure of the church till he gave satisfaction for his past conduct and then to be recieved as a private member.
Feb 4 1833 – Church meeting was held shortly after John is dismissed and after the opening of singing and prayer Elder Brother Coy was choosen to act as the Moderator. During the meeting it was moved to know whither the Church considered Elder John Marsters to be a member of this church or not and so a vote was taken, there were twelve nays and not one yea. Further it was agreed that Brother John Currey should be restored to his office of Deacon and a further agreement to request the assistance of the sister Church's Elder Joseph Crandall, Titus Stone and the Church at Fredericton.
With the help of the new assistance John Currey was restored and a vote was taken to dismiss Elder Marsters on July 29 1832.
After this dispute which the cause is not clearly stated in the records the church is thrown into great difficulty and this is recorded in their records on March 27 1834.

I told them I was and if it was in a way that I could unite I should join it , that was upon these articles, which was examined and compared to the third chapter of Acts and acknowledged to be correct.

"Reminiscences of the Rhode Island Bar", by Abraham Payne, 1885 pages 90 – 96
"…in 1836 he was a rather mature student in the office of Attorney General Greene, and might be seen on Westminster street, towards the close of a pleasant afternoon, resting himself after his morning studies in pleasant intercourse with the young ladies, …. At this time Mr. Currey was a bit of a dandy; he parted his hair in the middle, and wore a blue coat with brass buttons, with a buff vest and yellow kid gloves. He came out of college in 1835 without a degree, because he and his classmates were to conscientious to permit any distinction among their number in the assignment of parts at Commencement. He intended at one time to enter the ministry, and, in fact, was a licensed preacher and well grounded in the doctrines of his denomination. He was a Calvinistic Baptist……
Not long after he came to the bar, the movement in favor of an extension of suffrage was started in the State, and Mr. Currey early took a prominent position on the side of Law and Order. He was a native of New Brunswick and a naturalized citizen of the United States. He took great pride in his fidelity to the institutions of his adopted country and State. In what was known as the Dorr war, in 1842, he joined a military company and attained the rank of sergeant; but while most of the young lawyers of the Law and Order Party attained military rank which entitled them to ride about on horseback, I do not think that Sergeant Currey was ever mounted. He was for many years secretary of the T. R. I. A. O. E. A. O. F., a sort of debating society, …..
Mr. Currey acquired much distinction by his able defense of Nicholas Gordon, indicted as accessory to the murder of Amasa Sprague. He afterwards for many hears occupied a high position at the bar as counselor and advocate. He was engaged in much of the important litigation in the State during his active professional ife. He rendered valuable and important service as counsel of the Hartford, Providence and Fishkill Railroad Company. He was one of the counsel engaged in the contest over the will of the late Colonel Thomas Halsey. …..
Mr. Currey was not a popular orator, but he was an earnest, clear and powerful speaker. I often said of him during his life that he was the most 'sure-footed' member of the bar. Give him an opportunity for full examination of a question of law upon principle and authority, and he rarely, if ever, made a mistake. I doubt if his deliberate judgment was ever overruled by the tribunal of last resort. If it was, I should be inclined to say, so much the worse for the tribunal. In the examination of such questions, I think he derived much benefit from his early theological training. His mind worked with the logical force and precision of an old Puritan divine of the seventeenth century. Mr. Currey was a careful student of English constitutional history, and while he adhered to the opinions in the Church and State inherited by him and his Baptist brethren from Roger Williams, he was no believer in the doctrines commonly called democratic. He was of the Hamilton rather than of the Jeffersonian school of politics. As a man, Mr. Currey was amiable and generous to a fault. Like all the rest of us, he had some weaknesses, among them a morbid sensitiveness. He liked to say pleasant things, and he like to have pleasant thenigs said to him, and anything like ridicule or neglect stung him to the quick. But he was the most placable of men……
At length there came to Mr. Currey failing health, as the years drew nigh in which he could say, 'I have no pleasure in them.' He was rather a lonely old man; but kind friends were about him to the last, notably Henry C. Whitaker and William W. Hoppin. After his death, religious services were held in the vestry of the First Baptist church, and his pastor, the Rev. E. G. Taylor, D. D., spoke of his many good qualities, and especially of the confident faith which sustained him in the mortal hour. His friend, Governor Hopin, spoke in warm terms of eulogy, and commended his virtues to the imitation of his professional brethren who were present. His remains were taken to New Brunswick, and he sleeps among his kindred."
In the 1870 census, Samuel Currey was a lawyer living in a lodging house in Providence Ward 2, Providence, Rhode Island.
Samuel Currie (1806-1878) Gravestone — Upper Gagetown Baptist Church Cemetery, Gagetown, New Brunswick
ix. Eunice Currie b. 19 Apr 1807 in Upper Gagetown, Queens, New Brunswick; d. 24 Sep 1880; m. 9 Mar 1837 Waterborough to Charles Hoben. His parents were Reuben Hoben (b. 1 Aug 1769 in Cornwallis Township, NS 1 – d. 1850) and Elizabeth Ebbett (b. 1791, d. 1845) Eunice and Charles had three children
x. Mary Jane Currie b. 15 May 1810 in Upper Gagetown, Queens, New Brunswick; d. 5 Nov 1861; m. Samuel Coy (b. 25 Oct 1803 Gagetown, New Brunswick – d. 28 Jun 1882 Gagetown New Brunswick) Samuel's parents were Rev. Benjamin Coy and Sarah Cottle. Mary Jane and Samuel had 5 children. He second married 7 Jan 1864 – Fredericton, York, New Brunswick to Ruth Amelia Estey (16 Dec 1824 – 30 Sep 1881.) Samuel had 9 more children with Ruth and died at the age of 78.
Ruth was Mary Jane's second cousin. Her parents were Jonathan Estey (b. 12 Mar 1781 ) and Ruth Amelia Hartt. Ruth's grandparents were John Endicott Estey(b: 14 Dec 1742 in Rowley, Mass) and Mary "Molly" Hartt (b: 6 Nov 1750 in Mass.) Ruth's great grandparents were Richard ESTEY I and Ruth FISKE.
ix. George William Currie b.19 Apr 1813 in Gagetown, Queensbury, York Co., New Brunswick; d. 19 Nov 1890 in Welsford, Queens County, New Brunswick; m. 4 May 1840 Kingsclear, York County, New Brunswick to Susan Elizabeth Sutherland (b. 1815 in New Brunswick – d. 5 Aug 1886 in Springhill, Kingsclear, York County, New Brunswick) Her parents were George Sutherland (1784 – 1874) and Hannah Wasson (1786 – 1868) George and Susan had seven children born between 1841 and 1856.
Looking from Springhill to Mouth of Keswick
George lived and worked with his father in law George Sutherland. The family sapped the trees for Maple syrup to sell at market along with wool, produce, dairy and meat. They also worked with tanning, carpentry, growing grain and in the 1871 Hutchenson Directory and 1871 census it shows George Currie owned and operated a Grist Mill in Springhill, Kingsclear Parish, York County, New Brunswick. By the end of his life he was considered an Esquire, noted by his daughter Clarinda Amelia who took care of her father in his last years at the home in Fredericton, New Brunswick. George would travel to Larchmont, New York where his son George Emery and son Duncan Currie were living.
The Local people of the Kingsclear Parish in York County, New Brunswick say that a Dam was built in the St John River which flooded a burial ground close to the Currie Land. Some of the stones were placed elsewhere in the area and those who did not claim their Ancestors were left under what is now called The Head Pond. The Memorial stone for the children of David and Dorothy Currie includes George W Currie. Perhaps this is where his body was moved however a record of this needs to verify this fact. George and Susan Currie's daughter Clarinda Amelia married Jacob William Babbitt and after her father's death the Babbitt family headed west to Alberta. From there Clarinda's trail goes cold and she may have died and was buried in Alberta.
x. James Robert Currie b. 20 Dec 1815 in Upper Gagetown, Queens, New Brunswick; d. 8 May 1897 in Upper Gagetown, Queens, New Brunswick; m. 13 Oct 1850 at Canning, NB to Sarah Amelia Hoben (b. 25 Nov 1833 in New Brunswick – d. 1920) Sarah's parents were Reuben Hoben and Rebecca Hawes/Humes. James and Sarah settled at Gagetown and had six children.
James was admitted as an Attorney June 11, 1846 and then admitted as a Barrister June 13, 1848. He practiced in Gagetown and was the registrar of probates, and clerk of the Queens county court. He was appointed Way Officer June 13, 1856.
The family can be found in the 1871 census for Gagetown Parish: Curry James R., 50, NB, Baptist, English, Lawyer; Curry Sarah A., 38, NB, Baptist, Irish; Curry Eliza, 19, NB, Baptist, English; Curry Lemuel A., 14, NB, Baptist, English; Curry Helen M., 12, NB, Baptist, English; Curry Sarah V., 10, NB, Baptist, English; Curry Augusta F, 10m, NB, Baptist, English, b May
James was instrumental in the founding of The Grand Orange Lodge in the Province of New Brunswick, which was organized, April 10, 1875.
Quoted from the Queen's County Historical Society News Letter, Vol. 4, #3, pages 4 & 5: "It is an easy transition of thought from one of New Brunswick's oldest schools, to the oldest university in the province, – the University of New Brunswick, which form many years has been preparing public leaders for their careers, here or in distant fields. A study of the "Register of Former Students and Graduates of U.N.B" issued in 1924, shows that a large proportion of Queens County students entered U.N.B. from the Gagetown Grammar School, and in many cases provided Canada with outstanding leaders in law, in the Church, the field of medicine, as teachers, and more recently as engineers.
First student from Gagetown ….. and James Robert Currey, who became an attorney in 1848. Law was a favorite field for Gagetown students. The J.R. Currey mentioned above, had a son, Lemuel Allan Currey, D.C.L., 1895. J.R. Currey's grandson, Adrian B. Gilbert, B.A. 1916, M.A. 1919, was a Rhodes Scholar, and a B.C.L. of Oxfod University in 1922. He is a well-known Saint John lawyer. His brother, Lemuel Allan Gilbert, received his B.A. in 1914 and M.A. in 1918, and his B.C.L. from King's College in 1922. He is a High School teacher in Vancouver."

Lucy's second husband Israel Oakes was born about 1776. Ref RSchaffer, JCHatt J. Hatts records have Sarah Estey's and Thomas Barker's marriage as September 12, 1761. This record continues with Sarah having a second marriage to an Isreal Oakes on July 6th, 1816. This raises some questions about the marriage of an Isreal Oaks to a Lucy Esty on July 6th 1818 which is from R. Schaffer's Estey data. I can't find another reference to Israel Oaks.

Phoebe and David married late in life and dating by the age of the mother and father one can wonder if the children were biological or perhaps adopted

Virtually 80% of your family is also my family. Even the Canadian lines.
Jonathan Currier says:
Zebulon Estey was, I believe, a partner of my 5x great grandfather, Issachar Currier, a loyalist from Amesbury, Massachusetts, in a boatbuilding business in Kingsclear, later carried on by Issachar's son (and my 4x great grandfather) David.
markeminer says:
Hi Jonathan,
That's interesting. So Zebulon arrived in 1765 at the age of 23 with the New England Planters (see my post – https://minerdescent.com/2012/10/15/new-england-planters-in-new-brunswick/) and then the loyalists came almost 20 years later in 1783. I was under the impression that the two groups didn't mix much, especially at first. Only one of my Canadian lines has loyalist roots – the Parks.
Looks like Zeb mixed well. He had a good recommendation in the The Studholme Report .
Could you tell more about the boat building business? (I had a career in shipping)
Thanks, Mark
Kenneth McKeever says:
Great work on all the Estey history. I have been searching for the origin and parents of my ancestor Andrew Harrington for years. One of his land grants was in Canning Parish. A map of the grants shows him on lot 7. Zebulon Estey was on lot 12. Do you have any of the original source material that may say where those other settlers like Andrew Harrington were from prior to settling in NB? Andrew also had land on Moose and Deer Island.
Another interesting connection. My wife's ancestors included a number of French Canadians who served in the 2nd Canadian Regiment with Moses Hazen.
Hi Kenneth, I am glad my research was interesting, the Esteys are a fascinating family. They had twins and I have twin sisters too, may we got the twin gene from them, I like all the twins in the family tree. All the information I have about the Esteys is on my site. Some of it is from Ancestry.com and my subscription has expired. I put links to the other references where I could. So you could follow some of those links and see what you find.
Happy Hunting and if you learn any interesting Estey stories let me know
mckeever@rocketmail.com says:
Do you have a copy of the Canning Parish land grant map with Zebulon Estey and Andrew Harrington listed? I would be happy to email the pdf file. Send me an email.
Do I do not have a copy of the land grant map. I am interested in seeing, could you send it and do you mind if I put on this page?
Many thanks, Mark
The Hollywood Move Three Sovereigns For Sister Sarah starring Vanessa Redgrave, Kim Hunter, and Will Lyman has our ancestor Mary Este as a major character and the family had to leave Salem and move to Canada in shame, so our Canadian Estes are the main Estes there are. So it is actually an important part of history to learn what their early life in Canada was like.

This is so cool, thanks for all the awesome information. I'm in the process of filling out my own family tree and supposedly (according to my research) Zebulon was also my 6th great-grandfather! You've given me so many good tidbits here – thanks!!!!

Anthony Gruppuso-USA TODAY Sports
Big game.
The Wings came in tonight on the brink of the All-Star break, and needed to collect some points to withhold their spot in the Atlantic Division rankings.
A big performance from Petr Mrazek, Darren Helm, and a few others lifted the team to a hard-fought win in Brooklyn. Let's get down to the good stuff:
First Period:
I thought the Wings looked real good in the first. It's an odd matchup because you have a team like the Islanders who are really good at home, and then you have Detroit who is great on the road. If you ask me, I'd say that both teams played equally. Kyle Quincey continues to be a player that I just can't get into. I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt because of the operation he had, but man, it just isn't really an upgrade over a guy like Nick Jensen, who sat tonight. I assume they might be trying to build trade value, but I can't imagine there is much value-building you're going to be able to do.
One downside for Detroit in the first: They went 3-for-11 in the faceoff dot. Not great, especially when you're playing a fast team like the Islanders.
Fortunately for the Wings, they came out with the first goal, on the power-play (!!!!) from Brad Richards (!!!!). Richie just hacked at the puck, and it bounced by Jaroslav Halak:
(Hey, what the hell is it with the white SUV?)
Brock Nelson tied the game back up on an unfortunate giveaway by Tomas Tatar, which was a product of Jonathan Ericsson failing to play adequate defense (shocker!). That summed up scoring for the first period. The good news is that the Wings are still killing penalties efficiently without Drew Miller!
At the end of 20 minutes, shots in favor of New York (11-7), as well as 5v5 shot attempts (17-16.)
Second Period:
Detroit started the period one man down due to Mike Green's interference on Cal Clutterbuck. They killed the penalty, and in a very aggressive fashion. This might sound crazy, but the Wings PK looks better without Drew Miller. WEIRD, MAN. After the PK, the Wings looked much better, faster, moving the puck with more efficiency. They looked like a team who were starting to sync up with one another. It paid off, because they were able to score the next two goals. The first one came from Justin Abdelkader on a beautiful three-man breakout along with Henrik Zetterberg, and Dylan Larkin, who both drew assists (and remain tied for team-lead in points):
The next goal came about a minute later, Danny DeKeyser scores unassisted, but he actually kind of set himself up, which is awesome. Great play by DDK for his second goal in the last two games:
After scoring the two goals, the Islanders started buzzing again. They held the puck in Detroit's zone for what seemed to be a lifetime (probably about a minute-and-a-half in actual ice-time), and it forced Jeff Blashill to call a timeout to give his guys some rest. The highlight of the entire sequence was when Ryan Strome had a wide-open net, and decided to go for a slapshot, which missed completely. Very fortunate break for the Wings, and a very poor decision by a young player like Strome.
There wouldn't be anymore scoring for the rest of the period, and that's fine with me. I hate two-goal leads. Someone hold me.
The Red Wings outshot, and out-attempted the Islanders in that period. Shots on goal were 10-9, 5v5 shot attempts ended up 17-14.
Third Period:
New York came out fast in this one. They had Detroit pinned in their own zone for an uncomfortable amount of time, even though Detroit was able to clear the puck a couple of times. The Isles managed to steamroll back into their zone.
It was a chippy, questionably officiated period. The Islanders were able to come within one goal on a breakaway chance by Grabovski. At first it looked like Ericsson was interfered with, but in reality, he made a bad step on a guy he had no business stepping in on.
From there, it was all clenching. Petr Mrazek stood taller than clouds for Detroit, as per usual:
That's a big point-blank save to keep it close. Someone get this guy a ginger ale!
The Wings trapped down the rest of the game, and did a great job of preventing the Isles from pulling their goalie until it was a bit too late. Darren Helm made a great play using his speed which setup Luke Glendening for the empty-net goal which put this baby away.
The game ended with New York in control of shots (26-22), and 5v5 shot attempts (51-43.) Wouldn't read too much into it, though. They were playing to score for most of the game. Great effort by Detroit.
So! We have a nice, long break for the NHL All-Star Game. We won't be back in action until February 4th against the Lightning at Amalie Arena. The good news is that Detroit will stay at third place in the division for that entire duration of the break, despite a Bruins win tonight. More good news: The Montreal Canadiens are god awful.
Also, Eric Tangradi isn't better than Joakim Andersson.
Enjoy the break. Let's go Dylan Larkin at the All-Star Game!

What do you carry for a portable writing resort?
What is the minimum you need to port your writing wherever you go?
There are different ways to write when you are away from your home base, and I've tried many of them, with the intention of taking advantage of small (few minutes to a couple of hours) to large (several weeks) periods of away time.
I find it useful, with my fogged brain, to work the details out on paper ahead of time – everything below gets a place on my checklist for packing. Then I take what I will need – without having to think in a hurry.
In my regular, mostly stay-at-home, life I have a very nice setup: hubby got me a huge high res TV for a monitor – 42" (diagonally, but who's measuring?). I have my printer at my fingertips, plenty of desk space (if I keep it even moderately tidy), and file cabinets and drawers and plastic file trays galore.

La Satyre Ménippée : de la Vertu du Catholicon d'Espaigne et de la tenuë des estats de Paris (titre complet) ou Satire Ménippée (orthographe modernisée) est une œuvre satirique collective mêlant prose et vers français.

Cette œuvre politico-satirique, qui a pour sujet la tenue, pendant les guerres de Religion, des États généraux convoqués à Paris le  par le duc de Mayenne, chef de la Ligue catholique hostile à Henri IV, dans le but d'élire à sa place un roi catholique, a impitoyablement parodié la Ligue catholique et les prétentions espagnoles, tout en défendant l'idée d'une France certes catholique mais surtout indépendante. Circulant d'abord sous le manteau en 1593, elle a été imprimée en  par Jamet Mettayer.

Forme littéraire
La Satire Ménippée emprunte son titre à une œuvre elle-même en vers et en prose de l'érudit Juste Lipse, inspiré par Varron, auteur de Saturæ Menippeæ dont il ne subsistait à la Renaissance que quelques fragments, fort appréciés des érudits et connus de bien des fonctionnaires de chancellerie, formés aux belles-lettres de l'Antiquité. Ménippe était le nom d'un cynique célèbre pour ses railleries.

Contexte politique
Tandis que Henri de Navarre, le futur Henri IV, cherchait par la force des armes à reconquérir le royaume, les Espagnols proposaient d'abolir la loi salique et de déclarer l'infante d'Espagne reine de France. Certains des ligueurs, refusant une princesse étrangère sur le trône, préparaient le ralliement de la capitale à Henri IV.

La légende veut qu'une réunion de bons citoyens, « demeurés français en politique et gallicans en religion », aient prêté le secours de leur plume à Henri de Navarre, par une œuvre mi-sérieuse, mi-plaisante, afin d'aider à faire revenir dans la voie de la vérité et du bon sens les esprits égarés.

C'est ainsi que serait née l'idée de la Satire Ménippée, lors d'une réunion au quai des Orfèvres, dans la maison de Guillot, chanoine de la Sainte-Chapelle, de quelques hommes d'esprit, réunis pour défendre dans une œuvre commune, les vrais intérêts de la France, qui voulait rester catholique et indépendante.

Auteurs
L'idée principale de la Satire Ménippée appartient à Pierre le Roy, chanoine de Rouen et aumônier du cardinal de Bourbon. Les sieurs Nicolas Rapin, les poètes Jean Passerat et Gilles Durant, Florent Chrestien en rédigèrent chacun une partie ; Pierre Pithou, jurisconsulte, revit l'ensemble et amena l'œuvre à son point de perfection.

Citation
Un passage remarquable de cet ouvrage collectif est la description de la procession conduite par le recteur Rose et destinée à passer en revue toutes les forces de la Ligue, les harangues du duc de Mayenne, du légat du pape, du cardinal de Pelvé, et celle d'Aubray, député du tiers état, dans laquelle Pierre Pithou peint les malheurs du peuple français, lui reproche son aveuglement et le rappelle à l'alliance du peuple et de la monarchie nationale qui seule à cette époque pouvait être le salut de la France :

Réception
Pour le critique Mikhaïl Bakhtine, la Satyre Ménippée est  Georges Bernanos y fait référence dans sa Lettre aux Anglais comme à l'.

Bibliophilie
Un exemplaire est décrit dans Alphonse Willems, Les Elzevier : histoire et annales typographiques, sous le , où sont décrites les illustrations : deux figures du charlatan espagnol et du charlatan lorrain.

Bibliographie

Q: Extract data using a date range I want to use this formula, but with a date range:
=IF(ROWS(T$4:T4)>$T$2,"",INDEX(Table4[SKU],MATCH(ROWS(T$4:T4),Table4[Helper],0)))

This formula works when extracting the data from Table4 but I need to extract only from the date range.
I have 2 dates in different cells: 9-1-15 and 9-30-15.
The data table is Table4[Date] and the cells for the dates are V5 and W5.
How can I do this?

God of War III brings The Ghost of Sparta's story a bloody conclusion. In his quest for retribution, Kratos dismembers, gores and eviscerates classical monsters, titans and even the gods of Mount Olympus in this final adventure. From the depths of Hades to the peak of Olympus, the gods' domain, rivers of blood flow in the wake of the very angry Greek. With Ares and Athena destroyed, there's only one deity standing between Kratos and the end of his long journey. Say it loud and proud: ZEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUUUS!!!


Translation is a profession filled with lots of stories of impending doom these days: "Get out while you still can! Retrain! The computers are gonna steal your job!"
Google's neural nets and fancy point-the-camera apps providing instant translation and even fully voiced interpretation would have you believe language-learning is a thing of the past, a skill of no significance beyond simple mental acrobatics--an oddity, like knowing how to use an abacus in the age of pocket calculators or knowing how to write love letters in beautiful script with a fountain pen in the age of tiny, non-tactile predictive text keyboards, 140-character Reader's Digest thinking, and gorgeous one-click desktop publishing templates.
Of course, with the automation work-pocalypse right on the horizon, I'm sure translation isn't the only profession very vocally being recommended last rites.
But every once in a while, a little glimmer of hope appears. Google's bots seem to have a mysterious way of figuring out and replicating the routine yet quite complex language and conventions used across patent filings or descriptions of drug doses in PK reports, but when it comes to flowered prose and lively, natural dialogue in a book or elsewhere, the bots seem not have way... with... those word things.
Someone with a great love of Final Fantasy IV and at least a modicum of interest in the world of machine translation came up with this wonderful project: Run the text of FF4 through Google Translate, then re-insert it back into the game and play. Better yet, he did it right on the cusp of Google's quiet unveiling of their new neural-network-based translation engine, allowing him to compare and contrast traditional statistical methods with neural nets, widely considered the cutting edge of MT. He analyzed the resulting texts to death and turned it into a beautiful, glossy book which arguably every Final-Fantasy/Machine-Translation junkie should own! And the result and analysis provide some little hints about where MT continues to fall short, and where good human translators still need to step in.
When I came across the book, I absolutely had to share.
Please enjoy, share it on Twitter if that's your thing (I'm sure the guy would love the extra boost of publicity), and perhaps even consider, as I am, making a purchase. Personally, I think I might just keep this perpetually tucked into my knapsack to pull out and brandish in the face of the next human translation doomsayer I run into.
This is really interesting in the preview, though the price of the actual book might be a bit dear for me personally as someone who would really probably just enjoy the comedy of it. The "German Infatuation" page, though, might be worth the price of admission, as well as the evil "Mister Leg." It's a shame, though, that he was stuck backporting the text into a version of the game that couldn't support its length. I suspect that if he'd worked with a more experienced modder the results could have been better for his many screenshots.
It would be interesting to see what the neural net could come up with for some of the other widely-debated translations out there too, particularly VI and VII.
Good old Tomato for doing this. I appreciate the effort but the price is a bit steep for me.


Apps have been a long, contentious conversation in automotive retail. While there is no doubt that the smartphone and mobile is the future communication channel, the question on the minds of today's marketers has always been ROI. Will investment in mobile strategies impact today's buyer?
Today Apple announced a watch and a new iPhone 6. Most of the headlines you read will be centered around these devices. However, a much bigger focus for the retail industry was sandwiched somewhere in the middle of Apple's keynote.
Today Apple announced "Apple Pay" – a mobile payments solution designed into the new iOS 8 mobile operating system.
Apple has jumped into the mobile payments foray in an effort to make plastic credit cards a thing of the past. The concept is simple. Use your phone and your fingerprint to buy anything – in person or online.
While a simple concept, many have tried – none have succeeded. Apple's system differs from failed past attempts in a few key areas.
The average consumer is now spending a staggering 18.9 hours per week on a mobile device.
Your customer is on a smartphone.
They are primarily using apps.
Mobile Apps now control 86% of the total time consumers spend on mobile.
The era of connected cars is officially well underway. Automotive and technology giants recently announced substantial partnerships that will pave the future of cars and technology.
Today, Apple announced CarPlay, bringing its brand new in-car infotainment system to Honda, Mercedes, Volvo, Hyundai and Jaguar as well as a dozen committed partnerships from some of the largest manufactures in the automotive sphere.
Google recently announced partnerships with GM, Audi, and Hyundai. Ford's relationship with Microsoft revs up the continued adaptation of in-car apps with Microsoft's SYNC system now in over 8 million vehicles.
The merge of technology and automobiles makes sense on many levels, but future control of the connected car lies in the balance.
Mobile technology platforms have widespread audiences that cover large demographics. For many consumers the choice is one of two mobile operating systems; Apple or Android. Automobiles are a different story. 35+ unique brands exist in the US alone and different automotive platforms and model offerings create even greater segmented audiences.
What will technology's impact be on automotive brand loyalty?
In Q1 of 2013 13.4 billion apps were downloaded according to figures from Canalys. This number is up 11% from Q4, 2012.
Apple and Android now combine for just shy of 100 billion total app downloads – this in just under 5 years. Over 900,000 apps exist now in the Apple store and Apple has sold 600 million iOS devices.
The average iOS user downloads 83 apps per device and the average android user 53.
In a recent apigee study, 85% of 762 smartphone owners surveyed said they would rather go without water than their mobile apps.
Smartphone sales accounted for 49.3% of Q1 2013 mobile phone sales worldwide. This is an increase from the 34.8% Q1 number from 2012. Conversely, sales of standard feature phones decreased 21.8% in Q1 2013.
When it comes to smartphone manufacturers and US data, comScore reports Apple at the top with 39.2% of the market, Samsung claims second spot with 22%, and HTC registers third at 8.9%.
A forecast from research firm Gartner predicts shipments of tablets to surge nearly 68% in 2013. IDC's findings show tablet shipments outpacing the PC market by 2015.
iPad remains solidly in the lead according to Chitika analyzed ad network data. A whopping 81% belongs to apple's tablet device while Amazon's Kindle Fire sits in second with 7.4%. Signs of movement can be seen from Samsung's Galaxy in third up .5% to 4.7%.


If economic development were easy, every regime would do it. Few regimes have. Soeharto's New Order was one of them.
This is from today's lecture on the New Order, always a fun one to plan, but a hard one to give because it's hard to restrain my own enthusiasm for the details and ironies of Indonesian political history.
Very nicely provides a case where economic growth is more volatile under authoritarianism and less so under democracy.

On Larry Craig
Hendrik Hertzberg in his Talk of the Town New Yorker column, "Offenses" cogently summarizes the key aspects of the Craig case in the following terms-
"The story, combining as it does the libidinal and the scatological, has been a comic bonanza. Craig and his associates have proved coöperative in that department. Their contributions include the Senator's explanation for playing footsie with the cop in the neighboring stall ("I have a wide stance"), his greeting to reporters at the press conference after the news broke ("Thank you all very much for coming out"), his spokesman's dismissal of the whole business ("a he said/he said misunderstanding"), and the nickname of the Idaho governor, who will appoint a politically if not affectively identical Republican to take Craig's place if he does get around to quitting (C. L. "Butch" Otter).
Besides snark, the overriding theme of public discussion of the Craig case has been hypocrisy. "I'm not gay," the Senator insists, and if gayness is an identity as well as an innate predilection he may be right. He is, however, evidently homosexual. Yet he supports permitting job discrimination against homosexuals, opposes letting them serve in the military, favors a constitutional amendment forbidding them to marry, and voted for an Idaho ballot measure that proscribes gay civil unions. He is like the many politicians who have smoked marijuana themselves but oppose legalizing it even for medical use. Hypocritical? Yes. But, in both cases, the fundamental moral problem is not the inconsistency between private actions and professed beliefs. The problem is the professed beliefs.
If Craig has been (as he once described Bill Clinton) "a nasty, bad, naughty boy," there is little evidence of it in the police report of his arrest. The report, written in a style somewhere between "The Naked Gun" and "Guy Noir, Private Eye" ("At about 1200 hours, I was working a plain-clothes detail involving lewd conduct in the main men's public restroom of the Northstar Crossing"), describes a profoundly unshocking sequence of events. After exchanging stares with the seated officer through the crack of the stall door, Craig entered an adjoining stall, sat down, and tapped his foot. In response, the cop wrote, "I moved my foot up and down slowly." Craig touched the side of his foot to the side of the cop's. Then he swiped his fingertips three times along the bottom of the stall divider. Then he got arrested."

Larry Craig as Sexual Freedom Fighter
Marty Klein writes an open letter to Senator Craig on his blog calling on Craig to extend himself beyond his personal situation and to reach out to others who have been victims of sexual repression and to advocate against repression of sexual choice, of consensual sex. Marty advocates this position in the hope that Craig can now identify with others who have been victims of sexual repression, victims of sting operations, and I would also expand it to include students and professors who have been persecuted for their consensual relationships. I wonder if it is not too far off in the future that academe may employ stings in the form of campus police posing as female students to catch the so-called lecherous professor.
In any case, Marty engages in his wishful thinking knowing that it is wishful and unlikely to occur. To believe that Craig would publicly decloset himself and throw off the Republican and Christian values cloak is unlikely, very unlikely given that Craig's public stance remains that he has never had an interest in homosexuality. If Craig does come out of the closet and advocates a sexual freedom agenda, he would have to deal with the Republican and their Christian value cohort viewing him not simply as a sexual deviant but an enemy of the state. But, of course, anything is possible, if a Klu Klux Klan member can become an advocate of racial equality then maybe in my fantasy thinking/nightmares Larry Craig may become the Angela Davis of the 2000s, advocating for freedom and getting a UC professorship; of course, he would first get a doctorate from UC and maybe do a little blogging as well.

A prayer for Larry Craig from James Mcgreevey
A PRAYER FOR LARRY CRAIG by James McGreevey appeared in yesterday's Washington Post. Excellent narrative about growing up with homosexual attractions and how such attractions were structured in the context of being in the closet.

Speaking out on engaging in homosexuality but not gay
Dankprofessor comments follow this emailRestroom Sex
I'm in the middle of cutting Ozark Mtn. Exit 8: Mens Room III as the latest political public restroom sex scandal hits. Of course, this case isn't really about sex, it's about hypocricy. Here are the thoughts of someone on a political site (hufffingtonpost.com) that hit the nail squarely on the head:
Craig is not "gay". By every definition of society, Craig is straight. This is a straight man caught soliciting sex in a public place. PERIOD. Let's not turn him into a member of a misunderstood, oppressed minority. Craig is obviously someone who is, IN SOME MEASURE, attracted to homosexual sex. That doesn't make him gay, anymore than my occasional sexual attraction to a female makes me "straight." I don't live a straight life nor do I want to. Craig, like McGreevy and Haggard, is a straight man. These men are married with children living with a woman. That sounds pretty straight to me. What Craig is indulging in is not entirely uncommon behavior for straight men, who ever once in a while would like a little homo action.Gay is a personal identity and a set of social and personal choices. What's confusing everyone is the conflation of the word "gay" with the behavior of "homosexuality." The assumption being that simply because someone engages in homosexual behavior then therefore he MUST BE GAY! WRONG! Most homosexual behavior, in human populations, the world over, and throughout history, has been and is engaged in by people who are otherwise partnered with someone of the opposite sex. The boundary between homo/hetero states of mind is fluid and amorphous.
Let's beat the crap out of Craig for his hypocrisy but let's not insult and besmirch the reputation and moral integrity of thousands of gay men by associating Craig's behavior with being GAY. Craig is STRAIGHT.
The DANKPROFESSOR RESPONDS-
This was emailed to me; authorship unknown; and has apparently been circulated via email since 8/28. The writer makes the point in strong terms that most people who engage in homosexual behavior do not consider themselves to be gay. This was the major point I made in my prior posting, a point that has been hard to fathom by the mainstream press and society. Why? It should not be surprising that people who engage in homosexuality and do not consider themselves gay will not have a proclivity to write about it or publicly indicate that such is their sexual orientation. They are the closeted, and understandably the press has more available to them self-identified gay men who are free to write and be quoted as gay men on whatever issue. In terms of the student-professor issue, the problem of communication is similar; the campus puritans have driven the fraternizers underground, and it is few professors and even ex-professors and students and ex-students who are willing to inform others publicly of their realities. Their fears and their timidity incapacitate them.

Larry Craig and Sexual Identity
Larry Craig's affirmation "I am not gay! I have never been gay!" to reporters at his press conference was taken by many with a grain of salt- couldn't be true if he was hanging around restrooms engaging in hand signals with an undercover vice officer. But such could be true since many men, possibly the majority of such men who hang around restrooms for sex with other men do not consider themselves as gay. If reporters had asked Craig if he engaged in homosexual acts in restrooms, they may have been asking Craig to respond to a more difficult question to answer truthfully. In my work as well as just about all sex researchers, it has been found over and over again that sexual identity and sexual behavior are not necessarily consonant. Manipulating ones sexual identity to be consonant with ones publicly presented self is not at all exceptional. The fact that ones sexual behavior is at times dissonant with ones sexual identity can be minimized. The sociologist Edwin Lemert referred to this process as remaining in the primary stage of deviance, not seeing ones behavior as impacting on ones self as being a deviant or stigmatized person. For Lemert what facilitates the transition to secondary deviance, the embracing of a stigmatizing identity, is the public labeling of the person; of course, Craig has gone thru such a public labeling, and it is rather safe for one to assume that he was thrown into a major identity crisis as well as a crisis of how he would now engage in a public presentation of self.
What I also found surprising in reference to Craig's affirming that he was not gay was the implicit assumption by the public media that one was either gay or heterosexual, that bisexuality was not even considered as a possibility. It is difficult for me to believe that the sophisticated media are so unsophisticated to assume that sexual behavior and sexual identity are always dichotomous. After doing a blog search, I did find one blogger, Skeeter Sanders, who gave serious consideration to this possibility. Sanders is amazed, and I share that amazement, that mainstream society appears incapable of acknowledging that bisexuals exist. Maybe this reflects a chasm between mainstream society and youth culture; many youths embrace bisexuality as being hip and in. In the mainstream it appears it is simply out.
I am also amazed that Sanders made some preposterous remarks in his blog arguing that Craig could not be gay since a man in his terms who was really gay would not marry a woman,and could not father children as Craig fathered three children. Sanders ends up in never never land when he refuses to consider the possibility of gay men passing as straight, yes even passing as straight with their wives. Such often occurs via homosexual ideation during heterosexual intercourse. Straight men often engage in this process in prison by engaging in heterosexual ideation while having sex with other men. And it is sexual ideation that may be the most significant clue as to ones sexual orientation. The key question is what one thinks about and/or looks at during masturbation, not whether one is heterosexually married. Of course, marriage to a woman by a man who was only attracted to men was often in the past the only viable alternative. If one goes back 100 or so years, the primary sexual identities available at that time in the United States were normal or abnormal. Heterosexual marriage was the primary way for all men to escape the abnormal label. So in a bizarre way the norm for the so-called abnormal was to engage in normal marriage with normal unsuspecting women.

Recent data indicates that more than 47 percent of 5th, 7th and 9th graders are classified as overweight or obese. Even more concerning, 2009 data shows that out of all the 58 counties in California, Long Beach has the highest rate of obesity and overweight, low-income 2- to 5-year-olds.
Long Beach community. The new program would lead to an increase in organized fitness events and includes money for event promotion to ensure that Long Beach residents are aware of these healthy events.

Михаил Михайлович Тала́нцев (1866—?) — русский промышленник и меценат, потомственный почётный гражданин.

Биография
Родился 29 октября 1866 года  в усадьбе Янибяково близ города Ядрин (ныне — в черте города Ядрин) в семье Таланцевых, Михаила Михайловича и Софьи Ивановны.

Отец: Михаил Михайлович (ок.1834—1875) — купец 2-й гильдии Чебоксар и Ядрина; в тот период — чебоксарский городской голова). Мать: Софья Ивановна (ок.1843—1887) — из дворян, купчиха 2-й гильдии Чебоксар, землевладелица Царёвококшайского уезда (50 десятин). Имела гостиницу с трактиром в Чебоксарах, дом в Казани. Владела 2 водочными заводами — в Чебоксарах и Ядрине. Михаил был вторым ребёнком Таланцевых (старший брат, Николай, родился в 1865 году, младший брат, Зиновий, в 1868 году, сестра, Раиса, в 1869 году).

Михаил окончил четыре класса 3-й Казанской гимназии, затем добровольно служил в Русской императорской армии. В 20 лет втянулся в дела своей семьи, занимался заготовкой сырья для заводов.

После строительства в 1900 году Чета́йской второклассной церковно-приходской школы, стал её попечителем. За возведение школьных зданий на селе ему была пожалована серебряная медаль на Станиславской ленте. В 1905 году Михаил Таланцев был избран почетным членом Ядринского уездного училищного совета Казанской епархии. В 1906 году, после открытия женской прогимназии, Ядринская городская управа изъявила желание иметь реальное училище. Помочь городу согласился Михаил Михайлович: выстроенное каменное здание училища обошлось в  рублей, из которых  оплачены казной, а  — Таланцевым.

За покровительство школам был он награждён ещё двумя медалями: 6 мая 1908 года — серебряной медалью на Аннинской ленте, 6 декабря 1909 года — медалью на Александровской ленте.

В 1916—1917 годах на его же деньги были возведены новые постройки (в том числе жилые дома для персонала) во дворе училища.

Сведений о жизни М. М. Таланцева в советское время, в том числе дата и место смерти, отсутствуют.
В 1918 году покинул Ядрин. Со слов потомков, был расстрелян большевиками.

Семья
Сын Михаила Таланцева, тоже Михаил (1908—1938), учился в Нижегородском государственном университете на химическом факультете. Стал инженером на Дзержинском заводе «Корунд», был в 1937 году арестован, осуждён по статье 17-58, п. 8, —11 и в 1938 году расстрелян

Награды
 Был награждён орденом Святой Анны 3-й степени (1909) и медалью в память 300-летия царствования дома Романовых (1913).

Память
 Мраморный бюст Михаила Михайловича Таланцева расположен напротив входа в Ядринскую национальную гимназию.
