Father and son ride for a cause at Tour de Cure, embracing the battle with diabetes

by Lara Bryn

This coming weekend is the Tour de Cure Capital Region, the signature awareness and fundraising event for the American Diabetes Association. This year, there's a new red rider with type one diabetes, who's riding with his dad and says this event is about much more than just the ride.

Stu Balter first started riding in the Tour de Cure Capital Region back in 2017.

"Actually the first year I decided to ride was only because I wanted to do a 50-mile ride," said Balter.

But a few years ago, his "why" changed.

"Then a few months later, Connor decided to come down as a type one person with diabetes," said Stu.

Suddenly the annual event held much more meaning. The father-son duo from West Sand Lake will be riding side-by-side with hundreds others this Sunday at the annual Tour de Cure Capital Region. Stu's son, Connor, says some days he doesn't even think about his diabetes. Other days, it's an absolute burden.

"There are some days where I just can’t keep my blood sugar down, no matter what I do. Changing out my fusion sets, the needles, doesn’t matter what I eat. It just won’t go down. Really frustration’s the best word for it," said Connor.

He says he's grateful to have discovered the diabetes community.

"This is the reason why myself and all of our staff, our volunteers, our sponsors get involved with the tour," said ADA Upstate New York Executive Director Jeff Collins.

"Am I ready? Not yet, but I hope to be," said Connor.

Connor is doing the 10-mile route of the ride. It's his first time participating. The ride itself, he may still be prepping for, but one thing he's certainly ready to do is "I kind of just also want to say thank you to a lot of them. It’s hard for me to say how much this means to me and to us really," said Connor.

Registration will remain open until 4 p.m. Friday. You can also register the day of. The Tour de Cure Capital Region is Sunday at 7 a.m. at Ellms Family Farm in Ballston Spa. Check-in is between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. and all proceeds go to the American Diabetes Association.

The Cure : le nouvel album arrive!

C'est une nouvelle qui devrait réjouir les fans du groupe the cure. ils ont annoncé la sortie de leur prochain album le 1er novembre..

• Publié le 13-09-2024 à 14h33
• Mis à jour le 13-09-2024 à 15h12

Le miracle est arrivé. Le tant attendu nouvel album de The Cure, promis depuis des lustres, maintes fois évoqué par Robert Smith et toujours reporté, arrive enfin. En début de semaine, le groupe avait fait un lifting de tous ses réseaux sociaux et de son site Internet. Sur fond noir, on pouvait y voir le nom de la formation écrit, sans autre détail mais avec une nouvelle typographie. Seule interaction possible : s'inscrire sur une liste de diffusion.

Jeudi soir, les rumeurs ont pris forme sur les réseaux sociaux. La date du 1er novembre a commencé à circuler. Fausse info, il s'agissait d'un visuel vieux de 9 mois. Vendredi matin, la donne a changé. Des personnes ont reçu un mystérieux carton qui, de prime abord, semble tout noir.

Un étrange bristol noir

À la rédaction, nous avons reçu le même courrier. Dans une enveloppe noire, un carton au format bristol, noir également, apparaît. En le regardant de près, on distingue vaguement des caractères imprimés et un alignement de chiffres romains en relief. Déchiffré, ce dernier indique I-XI-MMXXIV . C'est une date, le 1er novembre 2024.

Quant aux lettres imprimées, on peut distinguer en plaçant le bristol dans un certain angle la mention : "Songs of a Lost World". Cette fois, le doute n'est plus permis, c'est bien le nouvel album de The Cure. C'est le titre évoqué à plusieurs reprises par Robert Smith lors de ses rares interviews. Et il sortira donc le 1er novembre.

C'est la fin d'une interminable attente pour les fans. Le dernier album de chansons originales du groupe date de 2008. Il s'agit de 4:13 Dream . Pour beaucoup, ce n'est pas forcément le meilleur souvenir qu'ils ont de la musique de Robert Smith et de ses comparses. Ils attendaient donc la "séance de rattrapage". Leur patience a été mise à rude épreuve. 16 ans ! Certes, The Cure a proposé beaucoup de sorties pendant ce temps, dont les éditions Deluxe des albums Disintegration et Wish , ainsi que de multiples rééditions sous format picture disc, etc.

Lors de sa dernière tournée, celle qui a fait étape fin 2022 au Sportpaleis d'Anvers, The Cure avait dévoilé certains titres inédits. Se retrouveront-ils sur Songs of a Lost World ? A priori oui. Mais avec Robert Smith, on n'est jamais à l'abri d'une surprise. Il faut donc encore patienter un bon mois et demi avant de découvrir ce qu'il a fait mijoter pendant si longtemps.

El nuevo álbum de The Cure ya tendría fecha de estreno: las fotos que confirman la salida de "Songs Of A Lost World"

The Cure prepara el lanzamiento de su esperado álbum "Songs Of A Lost World" para una fecha cercana, según pistas reveladas por fans.

• Por Edecio Brito Adrián
• 12 Sep, 2024. 17:07 hrs

El nuevo disco de The Cure , titulado Songs Of A Lost World , está cada vez más cerca de ver la luz.

La legendaria banda liderada por Robert Smith ha generado expectación tras cambiar el logo en sus redes sociales y sitio web, movimientos que parecen indicar que algo importante se avecina.

Pistas reveladas por los fans

Este jueves, un usuario del foro de fans de Steve Hoffman compartió lo que parece ser una pista clave sobre la fecha de lanzamiento del álbum.

Según su relato, recibió una misteriosa postal negra con su nombre escrito en letra plateada, tal como lo recoge Rolling Stone .

"Dentro había una tarjeta negra de buena calidad con un pequeño relieve... Tras observarla con detalle, se leía Songs Of A Lost World . En la parte inferior, en números romanos, la fecha 1/11/24", describió el usuario.

Esta misteriosa postal sugiere que Songs Of A Lost World llegará a las plataformas el viernes 1 de noviembre de 2024, justo después de la noche de Halloween.

15 años de espera

Este esperado álbum sería el primero de The Cure en 15 años, desde que lanzaron 4:13 Dream en 2008.

Durante ese tiempo, la banda ha lanzado algunos sencillos y ha realizado giras, pero los fans han estado esperando con ansias un nuevo material de estudio.

Una de las canciones que formará parte de Songs Of A Lost World es A Fragile Thing , que The Cure ya ha presentado en sus conciertos recientes.

Esta pista ha recibido elogios por su estilo melódico y oscuro, característico de la banda.

¿Qué esperar del nuevo disco de The Cure?

Aunque Robert Smith ha mantenido en secreto la mayor parte de los detalles sobre el nuevo álbum, todo parece indicar que Songs Of A Lost World seguirá explorando las temáticas melancólicas y sombrías que han definido la carrera de la banda.

Smith ha señalado en entrevistas pasadas que este nuevo material es uno de los más personales que ha escrito.

Con el cambio de logotipos y la misteriosa postal, es evidente que The Cure está preparando el terreno para el lanzamiento de su nuevo trabajo.

Most Beautiful Metro Stations in Moscow

Visiting Moscow? Get yourself a metro card and explore Moscow’s beautiful metro stations. Moscow’s world-famous metro system is efficient and a great way to get from A to B. But there is more to it; Soviet mosaic decorations, exuberant halls with chandeliers, colourful paintings and immense statues. Moscow’s metro is an attraction itself, so take half a day and dive into Moscow’s underground!

The best thing to do is to get on the brown circle (number 5) line since the most beautiful metro stations are situated on this line. The only exception is the metro stop Mayakovskaya one the green line (number 2). My suggestion is to get a map, mark these metro stops on there and hop on the metro. It helps to get an English > Russian map to better understand the names of the stops. At some of the metro stops, the microphone voice speaks Russian and English so it’s not difficult at all.

Another thing we found out, is that it’s worth taking the escalator and explore the other corridors to discover how beautiful the full station is.

Quick hotel suggestion for Moscow is the amazing Brick Design Hotel .

These are my favourite metro stations in Moscow, in order of my personal preference:

1. Mayakovskaya Station

The metro station of Mayakovskaya looks like a ballroom! Wide arches, huge domes with lamps and mosaic works make your exit of the metro overwhelming. Look up and you will see the many colourful mosaics with typical Soviet pictures. Mayakovskaya is my personal favourite and is the only stop not on the brown line but on the green line.

2. Komsomolskaya Station

Komsomolskaya metro station is famous for its yellow ceiling. An average museum is nothing compared to this stop. Splendour all over the place, black and gold, mosaic – again – and enormous chandeliers that made my lamp at home look like a toy.

3. Novoslobodskaya Station

The pillars in the main hall of Novoslobodskaya metro station have the most colourful stained glass decorations. The golden arches and the golden mosaic with a naked lady holding a baby in front of the Soviet hammer and sickle, make the drama complete.

4. Prospect Mira Station

The beautiful chandeliers and the lines in the ceiling, make Prospekt Mira an architectural masterpiece.

5. Belorusskaya Station

Prestigious arches, octagonal shapes of Socialistic Soviet Republic mosaics. The eyecatcher of Belorusskaya metro station, however, is the enormous statue of three men with long coats, holding guns and a flag.

6. Kiyevskaya Station

The metro station of Kiyevskaya is a bit more romantic than Belorusskaya and Prospect Mira. Beautiful paintings with classical decorations.

7. Taganskaya Station

At the main hall Taganskaya metro station you will find triangle light blue and white decorations that are an ode to various Russians that – I assume – are important for Russian history and victory. There is no need to explore others halls of Taganskaya, this is it.

8. Paveletskaya Station

Another and most definitely the less beautiful outrageous huge golden mosaic covers one of the walls of Paveletskaya. I would recommend taking the escalator to the exit upstairs to admire the turquoise dome and a painting of the St Basil’s Cathedral in a wooden frame.

Travelling with Moscow’s metro is inexpensive. You can have a lot of joy for just a few Rubbles.

• 1 single journey: RMB 50 – € 0,70
• 1 day ticket: RMB 210 – € 2,95

Wow! It is beautiful. I am still dreaming of Moscow one day.

It’s absolutely beautiful! Moscow is a great city trip destination and really surprised me in many ways.

My partner and I did a self guided Moscow Metro tour when we were there 2 years ago. So many breathtaking platforms…I highly recommend it! Most of my favorites were along the Brown 5 line, as well. I also loved Mayakovskaya, Arbatskaya, Aleksandrovski Sad and Ploshchad Revolyutsii. We’re heading back in a few weeks and plan to do Metro Tour-Part 2. We hope to see the #5 stations we missed before, as well as explore some of the Dark Blue #3 (Park Pobedy and Slavyansky Bul’var, for sure), Yellow #8 and Olive #10 platforms.

That’s exciting Julia! Curious to see your Metro Tour-Part 2 experience and the stations you discovered.

17 Top Tourist Attractions in Moscow

By Alex Schultz · Last updated on May 4, 2024

The capital of Russia is an incredible place to explore. Visitors to Moscow come away spellbound at all the amazing sights, impressed at the sheer size and grandeur of the city. Lying at the heart of Moscow, the Red Square and the Kremlin are just two of the must-see tourist attractions; they are the historical, political and spiritual heart of the city – and indeed Russia itself.

A fascinating city to wander around, stunning cathedrals, churches, and palaces lie side-by-side with bleak grey monuments and remains from the Soviet state. In addition to its plethora of historical and cultural tourist attractions, Moscow is home to world-class museums, theaters and art galleries.

Renowned for its performing arts, fantastic ballets and amazing circus acts, catching a show while in Moscow is a must. The wealth of brilliant restaurants, trendy bars, and lively nightlife means there is something for everyone to enjoy.

17. Tsaritsyno Palace

Once the summer residence of Catherine the Great, the stunning Tsaritsyno Palace is now a museum-reserve. The architecture is magnificent and there is a lovely park surrounding it for visitors to explore.

Located in the south of Moscow, the palace was commissioned in 1775 and recent renovations mean its lavish interior looks better than ever before with its elegant halls and beautiful staircases.

The exhibits on display look at the life of the empress as well as the history of Tsaritsyno itself. The huge palace grounds are also home to some other delightful buildings with the elegant opera house and wonderful brickwork of the Small Palace being particularly impressive to gaze upon.

Starting out in 1935 as the ‘All-Union Agricultural Exhibition’, VDNKh has slowly morphed over the years into the fascinating open-air museum of today. Remarkably, over 400 buildings can now be found within its confines.

Using the metro is the quickest and easiest way to get around Moscow and braving the crowds of commuters is well worth it for the beauty all around you.

Wandering around the grounds is like stepping back in time. The Novodevichy Cemetery is where many famous leaders of the Soviet Union are buried, such as Yeltsin and Khrushchev.

Sculptures, graphic art, paintings and more can be found in its beautiful galleries; various sections look at themes and epochs such as the Renaissance, the Dutch Golden Age, and Byzantine art.

9. Christ The Savior Cathedral

This gorgeous Russian Orthodox cathedral is located on the banks of the Moskva River, just a stone’s throw away from the Kremlin.

The church as it stands today was consecrated in 2000, as the original church that stood here was destroyed on the command of Josef Stalin in 1931 due to the anti-religious campaign.

Opened to the public in 1924, Lenin’s Mausoleum is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Moscow. The red granite structure is located at the heart of the city in Red Square.

Lenin’s embalmed body lies in a glass sarcophagus; it is a somewhat eerie experience walking past the former leader of the Soviet Union but is well worth doing as you understandably can’t do it anywhere else in the world.

4. Bolshoi Theatre

The Bolshoi Theatre is the main theater in the country. The amazing opera and ballet performances it has put on over the centuries go a long way in explaining Russia’s rich history of performing arts.

3. Moscow Kremlin

This famously fortified complex is remarkably home to five palaces and four cathedrals and is the historic, political and spiritual center of the city. The Kremlin serves as the residence for the country’s president. It has been used as a fort, and this fact is made clear by its sheer size. The Kremlin’s outer walls were built in the late 1400s.

Under Ivan III, better known as Ivan the Great, the Kremlin became the center of a unified Russian state, and was extensively remodeled. Three of the Kremlin’s cathedrals date to his reign that lasted from 1462-1505. The Deposition Church and the Palace of Facets were also constructed during this time. The Ivan the Great Bell Tower was built in 1508. It is the tallest tower at the Kremlin with a height of 266 feet (81 meters).

Joseph Stalin removed many of the relics from the tsarist regimes. However, the Tsar Bell, the world’s largest bell, and the Tsar Cannon, the largest bombard by caliber in the world, are among the remaining items from that era. The Kremlin Armory is one of Moscow’s oldest museums as it was established more than 200 years ago. Its diamond collection is impressive.

The Kremlin’s gardens – Taynitsky, Grand Kremlin Public and Alexander – are beautiful. The Kremlin has also served as the religious center of the country, and there is a tremendous number of preserved churches and cathedrals here. The collections contained within the museums include more than 60,000 historical, cultural and artistic monuments. Those who enjoy the performing arts will want to consider attending a ballet or concert at the State Kremlin Palace. Completed in 1961, it is the only modern building in the Kremlin.

2. Red Square

Lying at the heart of Moscow, Red Square is the most important and impressive square in the city. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions due to its wealth of historical sights and cultural landmarks.

Drenched in history, the huge square is home to incredible sights such as the Kremlin, St. Basil’s Cathedral and Lenin’s Mausoleum, among others. Consequently, it is not to be missed when in Moscow as it really is home to the city’s most stunning monuments.

It is here that many important moments in Russian history took place; the former marketplace has hosted everything from Tsar’s coronations and public ceremonies to rock concerts and Soviet military parades. Wandering around the massive square is a humbling experience and undoubtedly one of the highlights the city has to offer.

1. Saint Basil’s Cathedral

Located in the impressive Red Square, St. Basil’s Cathedral is gorgeous; its delightful spires appear as if out of a fairytale. The most recognizable building in the country, the cathedral is very much a symbol of Russia. No visit to Moscow is complete without having taken in its unique and distinctive features.

Ivan the Terrible ordered the cathedral’s construction in the mid-16th century, and legend holds that Ivan put out the architect’s eyes so that he would be unable to build another cathedral more glorious than St. Basil’s. Designed to resemble the shape of a bonfire in full flame, the architecture is not only unique to the period in which it was built but to any subsequent period. For various reasons, both Napoleon and Stalin wanted to destroy the cathedral but fortunately did not succeed.

Known for its various colors, shapes and geometric patterns, St. Basil’s Cathedral houses nine different chapels that are all connected by a winding labyrinth of corridors and stairways. On the lower floor, St. Basil’s Chapel contains a silver casket bearing the body of St. Basil the Blessed.

Throughout the cathedral are many beautiful murals, frescoes, wooden icons and other art works and artifacts. Outside the cathedral is a lovely garden with the bronze Monument to Minin and Pozharsky, who rallied an all-volunteer Russian army against Polish invaders during a period of the late 16th century known as the Times of Troubles.
