Bianca e Bernie nella terra dei canguri
Bianca e Bernie nella terra dei canguri
Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo abbiamo deciso di ritornare nel magico mondo del cinema trash e quale modo migliore se non con un film chiamato Santa Claus Conquers the Martians? Su Marte i bambini iniziano a comportarsi in maniera strana, sono distratti, tristi e guardano spesso i programmi televisivi terrestri, specialmente quelli su Babbo Natale. Viene interrogato…

TESOURO
Aonde quer que seja aqui escondes teu tesouro
Ali também está teu coração
Se aqui na Terra o esconderes ladrões podem roubá-lo
Ou podes escondê-lo lá no céu
Há um tesouro no final da jornada desta vida
Ele é a razão do meu viver
Cristo é o tesouro: Ele é a razão pela qual eu vivo
Será o meu tesouro té eu morrer
Se pensas hoje aonde vais ou qual será o caminho
Existe um mapa para todos nós
Se nós o lermos e o seguirmos aonde ele indica
Não nos perderemos, só temos que escolher
Há um tesouro no final da jornada desta vida
Ele é a razão do meu viver
Cristo é meu tesouro: Ele é a razão pela qual eu vivo
Será o meu tesouro té eu morrer.
Compositor: Gary Chapman

Link's Big Juice Cleanse: Let's Play Tears of the Kingdom
Below the cut, I have just finished solving the weather.
You must be Tracy Chapman because I've got a fast car:
Tumblr media
I broke my beautiful new vehicle dragging it in and out of the Gatehouse to show it off for an unappreciative audience. :( After rebuilding it twice I tried to make it move with my fan-sword, which didn't work, so I gave up and attached one of its wheels to the bokoblin arm I picked up. I will honor its memory by accidentally shattering it against a crate soon.
Tumblr media
Zelda is in her Terra Branford cryptid era and I say good for her
Sir this is a T-rated game:
Tumblr media
I have been repeatedly murdered by trees
I have avoided trees and discovered PONY POINTS, which are now the only thing I care about
All my ponies from my BoTW save are here!!! Now I'm even sadder that the stables wouldn't accept the wild beasts I kept trying to pretend were horses, but I can't stay sad when I have these fashionable fillies around:
Tumblr media
I took Trotsalot the Pink on a little journey to bring wagon supplies for a sidequest. Didn't pay attention to how much I needed, so I dragged a whole wagon full of shit over the bridge past a Hinok. Had to repair it, not from the Hinok, but from a random skeleton that popped up under it. I arrive and discover I only needed two wagon wheels. OH WELL
Everyone loves Trotsalot.
Tumblr media
Ooh, I activated a puddle and now I seem to be seeing where Zelda ended up! Back in time, looks like. Magatama abound and I am HUNGRY. I support her decision not to chow down right now, though, because she's wise not to create a time paradox in her tummy.
I need to start screenshotting the ass-backward way I solve shrine puzzles. It's very "congrats lil buddy that's the worst anyone's ever done it" followed by a moment of dawning realization of the actual point of the puzzle, which so far is never to make half a dozen fused balloon-torches.
Every time I clear a shrine or get a heart, the gloom evaporating from Link's body makes me think that he's essentially going on a hardcore juice cleanse to flush the toxins out of his body, except in Link's case the toxins actually exist and the juice is solving puzzles.
My pants have cold resistance and this somehow means that I can run around topless and be utterly untroubled by a blizzard. Link is comfortable, actually:
Tumblr media
Go away bird children I don't want to join your cult
Tumblr media
Uh-oh my pants are only good for level of cold, and now I'm at a two-cold altitude. I have an elixir and two dishes with hot pepper in them. I'll be fine
Uh-oh this blizzard airship is also double-cold, and I gotta find FIVE of these FANS are you FUCKING KIDDING ME
All out of cold protection! It's fine I'm fine we're all fine
A good way not to freeze to death is to eat a fish and/or mushroom skewer in mid-air every time you feel the tug of the great beyond. Try it at home, kids!
Okay, icy bug boss is finally down and there is another magatama. No one eats it, but touching it lets you talk to your long-dead ancestors, apparently.
Love this wild-ass mask on the ancient bird, who wears his deliciously curved power source as an anklet.
Zelda babygirl what are you doing to history. If you're cool with paradoxes why don't I hear you crunching a magatama right now. Zelda. Baby. Meet me halfway.
Instead of replacing another of my body parts, my excitable baby bird friend has bound his funky little spirit to me with a magic ring. I call foul. Give me bird leg.
All right, off to explore the world of springtime!

DANCING PARTNER
1930
Tumblr media
Dancing Partner is a play in five scenes by Alexander Engel and Alfred Grunwald, adapted by Frederic and Fanny Hatton. It was originally produced and directed by David Belasco. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The play is set at the Hotel Claridge in Paris, the Hotel Splendide-Royale in Biarritz, and on an airplane.
A young British aristocrat is offered an alternative by his guardian uncle: Debt, or marriage with a young girl of his own class, whom he has never seen. He does not want to marry, but he wants his debts paid and his income continued. So he counters his uncle's offer. Incognito he will attempt the seduction of the girl offered him as a wife. If the attempt is successful, the idea of marriage will be abandoned. The uncle accepts and the nephew hires himself to the girl as a gigolo. The unexpected happens and they fall in love. At the end of a month, the nephew takes the girl in a plane from Biarritz to San Sebastien, still for the purpose of seduction. But above the Basque coast she talks of heaven and tells him that he has taken her first kiss, and the strength of his intentions deserts him. She returns to her mother.  The girl learns that her gigolo is also her proposed fiancé, turns the tables on him. She proposes that she appear with him in public disguised in a cloak. He refuses and the play ends.
Tumblr media
The mechanics of bringing an airplane in flight to the stage was profiled (with photographs) in an article titled “The Stage Goes Air-minded” in the November 1930 issue of The Scientific American.
Tumblr media
The illusion of flight was created by a crew member who physically moved the set to imitate the bumpiness of air travel. There were also projectors and loudspeakers, hidden from the audience by the aircraft’s wing, projected images of clouds, terra firma and starry skies directly on the backdrop. 
“Belasco has delighted himself with the construction of a plane that roars, takes off, and jiggles gently in the air. It is, however, the only plane flying that makes a safe landing with its motors full on.” ~ JOHN CHAPMAN, THE DAILY NEWS
Tumblr media
The play opened in Atlantic City at Nixon’s Apollo Theatre on the Boardwalk on July 24, 1930. The next day, Belasco celebrated his 76th birthday in Atlantic City, basking in the positive reviews by the local press. Dancing Partner would be his much-anticipated opening of the 1930 theatre season. It would be his last. Belasco died in May 1931.  
 After Atlantic City, the play opened in Brooklyn at the Brighton Theatre on July 28th. 
Tumblr media
The play 'landed’ on Broadway at the Belasco Theatre (previously the Stuyvesant), on August 5, 1930. It closed on November 15, 1930, running for 119 performances. Belasco announced that the play would not tour. 
Tumblr media
A movie version premiered in June 1931. It was first titled Dancing Partner, then The Princess and the Aviator, but eventually opened under the title Just a Gigolo. Irene Purcell reprised her stage role in the movie. Two weeks prior to the release of the film,  Jason Joy of the Hays Office wrote: 
"I have seen ‘Dancing Partner’ and am not able to determine whether it is good or bad. If it is thought of as light frothy fun, it is all right, but if it is thought of as a serious problem, it is bad."
The film was rejected by censor boards in Ireland, Nova Scotia and British Columbia, which rejected the film because of the "light treatment of immoral sex subjects."
Tumblr media
The film opened in Atlantic City on July 26, 1931 at the Strand Theatre, on the Boardwalk opposite Steel Pier.

Voltada para menores a partir de 12 anos, a série Wendell & Wild, exibida na Netflix, destaca a história de uma adolescente, que fez pacto com demônios atraindo-os para o mundo dos vivos. Vale informar que personagens identitários também aparecem na série. O desenho animado é baseado no livro de Clay McLeod Chapman. A narrativa gira em torno da vida de Kat. Órfã, ela se sente culpada pela morte dos pais. A menina chegou a ser presa. No entanto, ao deixar o presídio, aos 13 anos, ela é matriculada em uma escola católica. Com os irmãos Wendell e Wild, a adolescente firma um pacto na esperança de trazer os pais de volta. Os dois demônios têm interesse em construir um parque de diversões na cidade onde Kat mora. Diferente da turma, a jovem é fã de bandas punks. Ao descobrir que tem poder de trazer demônios para a Terra, Kat fica ainda mais destoada dos outros jovens. O padre da cidade é corrupto e possui envolvimento com empresários locais. Outro detalhe é que a animação é repleta de representações cômicas de demônios e de possessão demoníaca. Sobre os demônios
Os demônios são anjos caídos que servem a Satanás. A Bíblia diz em Apocalipse 12:9: “E foi precipitado o grande dragão, a antiga serpente, que se chama o Diabo e Satanás, que engana todo o mundo; foi precipitado na terra, e os seus anjos foram precipitados com ele.” Jesus tem autoridade sobre os demônios. A Bíblia afirma em Lucas 4:35-36: “Mas Jesus o repreendeu, dizendo: Cala-te, e sai dele. E o demônio, tendo-o lançado por terra no meio do povo, saiu dele sem lhe fazer mal algum. E veio espanto sobre todos, e falavam entre si, perguntando uns aos outros: Que palavra é esta, pois com autoridade e poder ordena aos espíritos imundos, e eles saem?”.

Old home days at the Underwood Museum
By Jonathan Monfiletto
Tumblr media
There is the old saying that begins, “If these walls could talk...” and is then filled in by whoever is saying it with whatever memories and secrets they think the walls of a house or building or similar structure – wherever people have resided or occupied throughout the years, decades, and centuries – might divulge if, indeed, the walls could talk. At the L. Caroline Underwood Museum, however, the walls don't have to talk in order to express the history of this place – at least, they didn't have to for one day earlier this year.
Back in July, one of those hot and dry days like many of the days we had this summer, St. Mark's Terrace – located right across Chapel Street from the Underwood Museum – hosted a belated 50th anniversary celebration for its senior citizen apartment complex. St. Mark's opened to the Penn Yan community in 1971, making 2021 the actual golden anniversary year, but like all good stories these days that seem to start with “but COVID...” the celebration was pushed back a year. Unbeknownst to us at the time, as we gazed across the street at the tent, signs, and balloons evoking a festive atmosphere, that day also turned out to be old home day at the Underwood Museum. Coincidentally, at that point, I had recently wrapped up some research and the draft of an article on Chapel Street in general and the 107 Chapel St. home in particular. And, yes, all three of these things are related to this story.
Now, picture a Thursday afternoon on an unusually quiet summer day in which we had seen no visitors for tours and even the phone had remained uncharacteristically mute. Then it is 3:15 p.m., and I am looking forward to wrapping up my work and closing up the museum for the day. At that precise moment, though, a group of nine people enters the front of the Underwood Museum. My first thought was, “Oh no...” not because I don't like giving tours (I absolutely love giving tours, especially when I can geek out about some of the research I've done for this blog into the backstories of our exhibits and buildings) but because a full tour of our three museums can take an hour or so depending on how much you read from the exhibit panels and displays. That late in the day, a full tour would be tight.
After my first thought, though, came my second thought, “Huh?” Someone in the group had called out either, “Our grandparents used to live here!” or, “We used to live here!” Well, it turns out that someone was two someones or a few someones: The visitors were sisters Debbie Kirkpatrick McMenamin and Kristie Kirkpatrick Chapman, their daughters, and some family friends. Debbie and Kristie are two of three daughters of the Rev. Bill and Mary Anne Kirkpatrick and lived at 107 Chapel St. when the home was the rectory for St. Mark's Episcopal Church and Father Bill was the pastor there.
Which means, in a nutshell: Debbie and Kristie gave the tour instead of me. I learned the gallery (where our Underground Railroad exhibit currently lives) once had a wall dividing the space into two rooms, the living room on the street side and the dining room behind it. For the Kirkpatricks, our research room was their family room and Father Bill's office. The kitchen and half bathroom were pretty much the same. Upstairs, where our L. Caroline Underwood exhibit and archives storage are situated, there were the parents' and daughters' bedrooms, with a porch room and a family bathroom on either end of the hallway. The Kirkpatricks lived here from 1965 until 1971, when Father Bill joined the staff of the Episcopal Diocese of Rochester; it was so much fun for me to here Debbie and Kristie (mostly Debbie, as Kristie was 2 years old when the family moved) reminisce about their life in the home.
As I shared with them what I had learned about the home and office Dr. Barbara Strait (and, for a short time, her husband, Dr. Bernard Strait) had made here, the sisters shared they were in town to join the 50th anniversary celebration of St. Mark's Terrace, which their father had been instrumental in advocating for and establishing in the community. Naturally, that got me interested in extending my research into 107 Chapel St. and looking into the history of St. Mark's Episcopal Church, St. Mark's Terrace, and the Kirkpatrick family and, of course, writing an article about what I found out. So, after nearly 800 words of my background spiel, here comes today's article.
The Sunday, April 19, 1964 edition of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle announced that day's installation service – a ceremony called the office of institution – for the Rev. William F. Kirkpatrick, of Pittsford, then the curate of Christ Episcopal Church in that community in a post he had held since July 1962. A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and 29 years old at the time, Kirkpatrick graduated from Franklin and Marshall College in 1959 and Episcopal Theological School in 1962 and was ordained a deacon on June 16, 1962 and a priest on December 21, 1962. He and Anne Marie had just one daughter, Elizabeth, at the time.
Interestingly, it isn't until 1965 that real estate transfer listings in the newspapers show Dr. Barbara Strait essentially donating (selling for $1) her Chapel Street home to St. Mark's Episcopal Church. Another 1965 newspaper announcement lists an open house at St. Mark's new rectory on September 19, so it isn't clear where the Kirkpatrick family lived when they first came to town.
Then, on August 19, 1971 – less than two months before the formal dedication of St. Mark's Terrace – The Chronicle-Express announced Father Bill, as parishioners and people around the community affectionately called him, had been appointed to be the administrative executive officer – the bishop's assistant – for the Diocese of Rochester. Father Bill would begin his new duties on November 1 of that year. That article credits Father Bill for initiating “the action in fulfilling the housing needs of the elderly by establishing St. Mark's Terrace, a 7 story, 110 unit high rise apartment building for senior citizens.” And as president of St. Mark's Terrace, he “pursued every avenue to cut the red tape of the Federal Government in establishing this much needed facility.” This included, according to the article, leading the community in raising $158,000 in cash in six weeks to meet the challenge of establishing a much-needed nursing home, this being Penn Yan Manor, which was to admit its first patient that September.
Kirkpatrick was succeeded in May 1972 by the Rev. Geoffrey Robbins, of Westfield, Massachusetts, a native of Mamaroneck and graduate of Colby College in Maine in 1965 and Berkeley Divinity School in Connecticut in 1968. He was ordained a deacon in June 1968 and a priest that December. Robbins had been assistant rector of the Church of the Atonement before coming to Penn Yan with his wife, Louise, and 17-month-old son, Geoffrey. He was officially installed on June 28, 1972 and expressed the desire to work closely the young people of Penn Yan and address any drug issues in the community.
My previous article referenced a Robbins family that apparently lived at 107 Chapel St., as a Mrs. Geoffrey Robbins hosted meetings of La Leche League in the home. Now, the picture is a little clearer with this information from our subject files. Also, a search of our digitized newspapers shows Robbins was the pastor of St. Mark's until 1978, though it is unclear if the Robbins family lived in the home that whole time.
It was during Kirkpatrick's tenure as the pastor of St. Mark's that the Penn Yan community gave birth to the idea that became the structure of St. Mark's Terrace. The lead of a September 1966 newspaper article reads, “A preliminary survey has confirmed the need and desire for a modern housing project for senior citizens in Penn Yan,” and quotes Father Bill saying, “We have about 70 persons signed up for apartments, just from the parish newsletter and news stories about the project.” The church announced plans to sponsor such a project if current informational surveys showed the need, which indeed they did, and a waiting list for apartments was established without obligation.
A year and a half later, in January 1968, St. Mark's church had formed St. Mark's Terrace Inc. to oversee the senior citizens housing project, and a board made up of Kirkpatrick and members of the church and community had been elected. The building was to be located on the south of Chapel Street, running from the First United Methodist Church of Penn Yan to Liberty Street, and options had been obtained on nine properties – six on Chapel and three on Liberty. The proposed design called for a brick, colonial garden-type structure with 27 one-bedroom units and 57 efficiency and studio apartments; original plans for a high-rise building had been scrapped because of the excessive rents that would entail.
By May 1971, St. Mark's Terrace was indeed a high rise – at least by Yates County standards, with seven stories and 110 units – and ready to open for occupancy on July 1. The building had 80 deluxe efficiency apartments with a living-dining room combination, sleeping alcove, kitchen with stove and refrigerator, bathroom, and closet space. There were 30 one-bedroom apartments featuring the same amenities plus an additional bedroom. At the time, Kirkpatrick reiterated the board's philosophy that “decent housing and a suitable living environment are of primary importance in the achievement of health, happiness and security.” The dedication ceremony for St. Mark's Terrace took place on October 17, 1971 and included much fanfare with choirs from community churches, local, county, and federal officials, construction company officials, and veterans groups and a community procession from St. Mark's church to the Terrace. Rt. Rev. Robert H. Spears Jr., the Episcopal bishop with whom Kirkpatrick later worked, blessed the building, while the Rev. Stanley Robinson, of the First United Methodist Church, offered the benediction. A newspaper article from the time mentioned the building project had received federal approval in January 1969 with a loan of nearly $1.5 million – the first such loan in the nation for a rural community.
Indeed, another newspaper article called the building “a living memorial to the senior citizens of the community.” U.S. Rep. John H. Terry, the Congressman for the area at the time, applauded the community's cooperative effort that went into the building, noting, “The importance of St. Mark's Terrace is that a need was seen at the local level and a decision was made to do something about it.”
