A heart warming BBC documentary following the steps that Bob and his Beloved wife Brenda Fenton took in the making of their last Will and Testament. It is a true reflection of our Mum’s strength and determination. Sir Gerry Robinson helped and guided the family through the process. The programme features the five Fenton girls and their families. It was filmed in February 2010, prior to Brendas’ cancer diagnosis. Sadly she passed away , aged just 63, on 23rd August 2010 at her home surrounded by those she loved the most. Just six months after filming. Ironically, without this programme being made, we would not have known her wishes. She is sorely missed and very much loved by her devoted husband, five daughters, five grandsons , seven granddaughters, extended family and many, many friends. Her legacy lives on and on. The most strongest, bravest and loving person you could ever meet. ‘If tears were a stairway and memories a lane we would walk up to heaven and bring you home again.’ xx22xx

Director: Vijay Bhatt Haria lives with his widowed and elderly grandmother at a tea estate. He has no knowledge of his biological father, as his mother died at the time of his birth. He now works as a Mahout (Elephant driver) at the tea estate, with elephant-friend, Raja. He meets and falls in love with a gypsy girl, Gulabi, and both want to get married. But Gulabi has another suitor, none other than Ajay, the only son of the tea estate owner. When Ajay finds out that Gulabi loves Haria, he plans to get rid of Haria, but fails. He waits for the right moment, and has his men abduct Gulabi. But before he could have his way with her, she is rescued by Raja, but Ajay subsequently shoots Raja to death. An enraged Haria wants to kill Ajay in return, but Ajay’s dad stops him from doing so. Then Ajay’s dad finds out a secret about his past life, and decides to change his last will and testament. Ajay finds out about this and lays in wait with a shotgun to kill his very own father – and anyone else who dares to stand in his way. Jeetendra … Haria Babita Kapoor … Gulabi Shatrughan Sinha … Ajay Asrani Durga Khote … Haria’s maternal grandma Kanhaiyalal Sunder … Gulabi’s maternal uncle Purnima … Nirmala (Ajay’s mom) Ramesh Deo … Ajay’s dad

Horoscope – Ballet (1938) VI. Bacchanale VII. Valse for the Gemini VIII. Pas de Deux IX. Invocation to the Moon and Finale This is the surviving music from the ballet “Horoscope” by British composer Constant Lambert (1905-1951). Lambert was a child prodigy who began composing orchestral music at age 13. By age 20, Sergei Diaghilev commissioned Lambert to write a ballet (Romeo and Juliet) for the famous Ballets Rousses. Lambert was highly interested in jazz and African American music, and he intended his cantata “The Rio Grande” – probably his most famous composition – to feature a black choir. He became a successful conductor with the Vic-Wells ballet (later the Royal Ballet). After the popular failure of his major choral work “Summer’s Last Will and Testament” (after the play of the same name by Thomas Nashe), Lambert decided that he had failed as a composer, and he concentrated almost exclusively on conducting for the last 14 years of his life. He was a central figure in the intellectual circle of Sacheverell Sitwell and Anthony Powell, who probably modeled the character Hugh Moreland in “A Dance to the Music of Time” after Lambert. An alchoholic, he passed away at age 45 from diabetes and pneumonia. The ballet “Horoscope”, choreographed by Frederick Ashton, is based on astrological themes (like Gustav Holst’s The Planets). The famous ballerina Margot Fonteyn, who was having an affair with Lambert, starred in the 1938 premiere. The scenario concerns a young man and …

Without a valid will or sound estate plan, the laws of New Hampshire (for NH residents) will decide how your assets will be distributed after you pass, rather than you. Moreover, a good estate plan can also help you, your spouse and your loved ones during your lifetime. Those protections during your lifetime become increasingly important as many of us live into our later years and sometimes require assistance with our day-to-day household and financial activities. While a simple Last Will and Testament is frequently adequate for many of our clients, we also recommend that our clients consider a Revocable Living Trust to assure confidentiality and assistance in their lifetime, frequently avoid the cost and delay of probate, assure that creditors and spouses of your children or beneficiaries are safeguarded against and that you and your spouse are provided competent and trusted assistance during later years. For our clients that are concerned regarding the preservation of their home in the event of subsequent nursing home care later in life, there are Irrevocable Medicaid Trusts or “Medicaid Triggers” that may provide protection. These forms of protection are far superior to simply putting your child’s name on your bank accounts or home. If nursing home cost planning is important to you, consult with an attorney competent in that specialized field. During your lifetime, the following documents are very helpful to you and your family: Power of Attorney for financial matters …

The six foreign-born Muslims accused of planning a shooting attack at the US military base included four Kosovo Albanian Muslims affiliated with the KLA, or the Kosovo Liberation Army, a Terrorist Jihad Wahhabi group. The US officials say their arrests highlight how Islamist groups are using the Balkans region to help in recruiting and financing terrorism. Fort Dix hosted Kosovo Albanian refugees in 1999. Eight year’s later 4 Kosovo Albanian jihadists planned to attack this US military facility seeking to kill hundreds of US soldiers. Prosecutors described the men as “radical Islamists,” with four coming from the province of Kosovo in the former Yugoslavia, where the ethnic Albanian population of Muslims fought one of the several wars that grew out of the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Suspect Agron Abdullahu, who faces only weapons violations in the case, was described in court papers as a “sniper in Kosovo.” US officials said the Islamists were motivated by al Qaeda sympathies. The foreign-born Muslims are accused of planning to assault the Army base and slaughter scores of US soldiers with automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades. The unidentified clerk is being credited with tipping off authorities in January 2006 after one of the suspects asked him to transfer a video to DVD that showed 10 men shooting weapons at a firing range and calling for jihad, prosecutors said. Several of them said they were ready to kill and die “in the name of Allah,” prosecutors …

Both are estate planning options but with very different methods of handling the estate after death.
