Living. Loving. Serving.: February 2012
"Anyone can be heroic from time to time, but a gentleman is something you have to be all the time." Luigi Pirandello
Guys, this post is for you, and I'm not speaking only on my behalf, but that of so many godly girls desperately praying for you to rise up and stand out. For those guys already doing so, you have not gone unnoticed!! Even if we can't see you, your works aren't ignored by our Father who designed and loves chivalry- "Your labour in the Lord is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:18)". Christ treats His church with the same love, respect, and devotion, and He expects nothing less from us towards each other. This is for the guys out there wondering, "What does and should a girl expect of me if I'm to pursue her as Christ pursues the Church?" Please know I'm not providing a formula of ANY sort or trying to be legalistic, but simply putting down some thoughts accumulated from so many girls I've talked to about writing this. Consider them.
Nothing is more attractive than a man in love with Jesus. You don't need to be 6'3, 210 lbs to be masculine in our eyes- all we ask is that you have a heart for the Lord, and are trusting His strength and wisdom to guide you every step of the way. A man who is trusting the Lord in that way and has a visible desire to serve Him is incredibly attractive. Our prayer is that you will be more in love with Jesus than with us.
We pray for you. Mind boggling to you, I'm sure, but we do. It doesn't matter if you're our brother, father, cousin, best friend, future husband, we pray for you. My main prayer for the godly men in my life is "for the Lord to strengthen, bless, and uphold them throughout their daily lives, for them to run wholeheartedly towards Christ, and pursue a life modeled after Him." I know that one day God will bring a man into my life who'll become my husband, and even though I don't know who he is, I pray for him every single day. My hope is that one day I'll get to see God's glory come full circle by discovering which prayers He answered and when.
Your words are held to high esteem. When you take the time to uplift, encourage, and inspire us towards Christ, it makes us want to move mountains! You encourage us to "press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called us heavenward in Christ Jesus." (Phil 3:14), and some days that encouragement is just the thing we need. We don't expect everything that comes out of your mouth to be all "C.S. Lewis", because let's get real- that's not everyone's gift, and we understand that! Sometimes all it takes is a, "Thank you for ____", or even, "Hey, I'm really proud of you." On the flip side, your words can tear us down in a second. Phrases such as "Shut up", "Get over here", "Hey thunder thighs"(oh yes, I've heard it) and other derogatory words, hurt us deeply even when you're joking. Be gentle with our hearts, please. Don't purposefully lead us on if you have no intentions beyond friendship with us, and if you do, make those intentions known. We love clear communication; it certainly makes life a little easier for everyone.
Manners still go a long way. There are some girls out there who don't appreciate men opening doors for them, offering their seat on the bus, paying, pulling out her chair for her, being on time, etc. Our only explanation is that we often feel bitter towards chivalry because we rarely see it anymore, so instead we've become cynical and doubtful. We love when you prove us wrong though! It speaks volumes about your character.
The little things count. This could be taking five minutes out of your day to call us just to see how we're doing, reminding us of things you like about us that we may not know, a big bear hug, quality time without cell phones/technology, random acts of kindness, even praying for us! If you're sitting there thinking, "I'm not creative though!!" or "Maybe if I had time..."- don't worry, all it takes is a genuine heart with sincere intentions. Promise. When you make the time to go out of your way for us, we notice and appreciate it more than words can explain.
I'm sure there are so many things I'm missing- trying to share girls' thoughts is like trying to count the drops of water in an ocean... only God knows the number. And I know there are many things you guys wish you could say to us. Girls are always asking each other, "What do you think he's thinking?!", so by all means, feel free to let us in sometimes. We're on equal playing ground in that no side is better than the other, and we're blessed to be able to hold each other accountable! I love what Paul says in Philippians 2:1-4,
"So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others."
All that is within me wants to believe that chivalry is not dead, that there are not only true gentlemen out there, but strong gentlemen of Christ devoted to His cause, yet all I see and hear is society screaming back, "Dream on." And dream I will.
Prayerfully hoping,

Suspect in Anthrax Scare Ordered Freed
A National Institutes of Health employee who allegedly threatened Florida tax officials with anthrax has been released from jail by a federal judge in Greenbelt.
Michelle Ledgister, 43, of Rockville is charged with spreading false information and making a hoax under the Terrorism Prevention Act.
During a hearing yesterday, Ledgister was required to post her Florida home as collateral and was ordered not to have contact with the Broward County tax assessor's office.
Prosecutors say Ledgister threatened a tax assessor after her claim for tax relief on property she owns in Parkland, Fla., was rejected.
She allegedly left a voice mail at the Broward County Property Appraiser's Office claiming that the office had anthrax.
Farmers Offer Ideas on Farm Policy
Maryland farmers want fewer land-use restrictions and assurances that their way of life will endure, speakers told the Maryland Agriculture Commission at the first in a series of "listening sessions" scheduled across the state.
Monday's meeting in Frederick and others scheduled this month in Calvert, Garrett, Harford, Queen Anne's, Washington and Wicomico counties are aimed at helping the Ehrlich administration learn what farmers need to stay in business. The advisory panel will present its findings Feb. 13 at the Governor's Agricultural Forum, which has been asked to develop policy recommendations.
The Frederick meeting drew more than 100 participants and produced plenty of comments about land use and farm profitability -- two of the four topics the commission had identified beforehand as key areas of concern. But the participants from Frederick, Montgomery, Carroll and Howard counties virtually ignored the panel's two other chosen topics -- alternative enterprises and biosecurity -- and instead focused on market access and the next generation of farmers.
Sales Tax Takes Back-to-School Holiday
The District has declared a sales tax holiday for back-to-school shoppers starting Saturday and extending through the following weekend, ending Aug. 14, Mayor Anthony A. Williams announced yesterday.
During that period, shoppers in D.C. stores will be able to buy clothes, shoes and school supplies worth $100 or less without paying the District's 5.75 percent sales tax.
This marks the second year the District has scheduled two tax holidays in an effort to boost sales. The second will target Christmas shoppers and is scheduled for Nov. 25 to Dec. 4.
Some Work Detoured From DMV
The D.C. Department of Motor Vehicles will offer only limited services at its 65 K St. NE facility this week because its second-floor cooling system is not working. Some of those services will move to a new location next week, and spokeswoman Janis Hazel said the department is scheduled to leave the K Street building in October.
The department will not operate its call center today or tomorrow, and emergency DMV calls should go to the mayor's call center, at 202-727-1000. The department's insurance operations office, where drivers can show proof of insurance, also will be closed the rest of the week. Driver record and permit control services will be limited to reinstatements.
Other adjudication business, such as scheduled and walk-in hearings, moving and parking ticket payments, and boot and tow operations, will continue as usual on the main level of 65 K St. NE.
Next week, the insurance and driver record services will be offered at a new location, 301 C St. NW, Room 1157, where they will be available from 8:15 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays.
Closed Hearing Considers Boy's Custody
Fairfax County authorities had a closed 31/2-hour hearing yesterday to make a preliminary determination on who should take custody of a 4-year-old boy allegedly abandoned by his mother on the Capital Beltway last week, but neither the participants nor family members would say what decisions were reached.
Fairfax County Child Protective Services filed a civil case in Fairfax juvenile court claiming that Channoah A. Green, 22, of Newport News was abusive and neglectful after she allegedly pushed her son out of the car in the Falls Church area the night of July 26, then bumped him as she drove away. The custody case is separate from felony criminal charges of child neglect and hit-and-run, which are pending. The boy is with Child Protective Services.
Substitute Juvenile Court Judge Beth A. Bittel barred reporters, three of Green's family members and one of Green's criminal attorneys, Deputy Fairfax Public Defender Todd G. Petit, from the courtroom. Participants in the hearing said afterward that Bittel had placed a gag order on them to prevent them from discussing the boy's situation.
Attorney Patrick H. Stiehm, who represented Green, said the hearing was only a preliminary step in determining whether Green should retain custody of her son. Green's family declined to comment.
Scouts Strike Camp at Fort A.P. Hill
The National Boy Scout Jamboree ended yesterday, leaving Fort A.P. Hill tentless for the first time in nearly 10 days.
The quadrennial event made headlines when four Scout leaders from Alaska were electrocuted as they tried to erect a dining tent. Two days later, about 300 people suffered heat exhaustion as they waited for President Bush to arrive for a speech. The president's visit was twice canceled before he spoke to the Scouts on Sunday.
The next Jamboree will take place in 2010, the centennial of the Scouting organization.
The Boy Scouts of America has used the military base 70 miles south of the nation's capital for its summer event since 1981.
Questions have been raised about whether the location and time of year of the event are the right combination for the Scouts' convention.
But Scouts spokeswoman Renee Fairrer said there are no plans to change the location for the next event. Organizers will pay "special attention" to reduce the possibility of accidents and other incidents.
"I'm going to tell her her mother was one of the toughest women I've ever met, that she was absolutely determined in what she did."
-- Justin Torres, on what he one day will tell his niece Susan Ann Catherine Torres about her mother, who gave birth to her three months after being left brain-dead by cancer. -- A1

I feel as though I have been quite neglectful of my blog in the past few months! With a new job taking me in a totally different direction, I do not have the time or inclination to be as crafty as I have been over the past few years and that is what I would normally blog about.
But, I still love reading and below is the list of books that I have enjoyed during 2015. Again it has been quite a literary journey and I have enjoyed the places I have traveled to in my imagination. My top picks would be All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr and Ragged Company by Richard Wagamese.

Little Red Wagon #315 - Turkey Day
Welcome! Donna is our challenge hostess this week at Little Red Wagon and she wants to see turkeys. Lots and lots of turkeys!
I had fun creating a paper-pieced turkey for my card.
I cut him out using my Silhouette Cameo and then paired him with some pretty papers, ribbon, buttons and a silly sentiment :)
Will you add a turkey to our rafter? (I had to look that term up. A group of wild turkeys is called a flock, whereas a domesticated group is called a rafter or gang. Who knew?) Stop by Little Red Wagon and link up your design. Also, be sure to visit the Girlfriends on the Design Team. They will have some amazing inspiration for you.

This week at Little Red Wagon, Brenda wants us to mix it up by using 3 patterned papers.
Well, I really mixed it up, because I ended up using 4 patterned papers instead of 3 and only because I didn't pay close enough attention to the challenge description the first time I read it.
I cut my leaves out of coordinating patterned papers, inked them (just for Carolyn!) and added them to my Kraft background.
Then a simple ribbon, a lovely button and a fun sentiment finished my card off.
What comes to your mind when you think of using 3 patterned papers? I hope you will share your creativity with us by linking up your project at Little Red Wagon. Also, be sure to visit the Girlfriends' blogs. There will be lots of great inspiration waiting for you.

Little Red Wagon #313 - Ghosts & Goblins
It's Wednesday! And time for another great challenge at Little Red Wagon. This week Janice wants to see ghosts & goblins, witches, monsters, cute trick-or-treaters... anything Halloweenie!
I decided to color up a cute image called "Patches the Ghost".
Now isn't he just the cutest little ghost ever? I used my trusted Copic markers to do the coloring and then I dug into my wagon to find some twine, buttons and an itsy-bitsy spider! (YIKES!)
I really hope you can join in the challenge this week. Just stop by Little Red Wagon and link up your card!

Home is where the heart is... It is my turn to host the challenge at Little Red Wagon this week and I would like to see a house on your design.
I went clean and simple again this week. A simple house with a heart button, white on white frame and a sentiment I printed on my computer.
I also added a wee bit of pen stitching on the house. If you would like to create a card with a house on it and link it up at Little Red Wagon, I will be sure to stop by your blog and leave some love! Have a great week!

Little Red Wagon #311 - Tags
Happy Wednesday! Heather's challenge at Little Red Wagon this week is to create a tag. It can be a stand-alone tag or a tag on a card.
I decided to go with a stand-alone tag.
I used a Kraft background and then I layered some pretty papers on top. I also added a birdbath and fence that was cut with my Silhouette.
I did lots of distressing with my edge distressing tool and my vintage photo ink pad. Now I have a pretty tag to add to something in the future... a layout, a card, etc.
I hope you join in on the challenge this week and link up your tag at Little Red Wagon. For more inspiration, be sure to visit the Girlfriend's blogs listed on my sidebar. They are such a talented group of ladies!

Little Red Wagon #310 - All About The Boys
Carolyn is our challenge hostess this week at Little Red Wagon and it is all about the boys! She wants to see a masculine card.
First off, I found this adorable image and then I sat down with my Copic markers which is something I have not done enough of lately. I think I enjoyed working with this image because it reminded me of our youngest son who used to love playing soccer!
Then I dug deep into my wagon of goodies and pulled together some matching papers. I love the wood grain paper for the background! Normally I hoard my wood grain papers, but it just seemed to work so well on this card. Next, I added a printed sentiment and a couple of buttons and there you have it. A card that would suit many different occasions.
I hope you join us at Little Red Wagon this week. Be sure to stop by the Girlfriends' blogs for some amazing inspiration and then link up your own card. We will be sure to visit your blog and say hello :)

Little Red Wagon #309 - Embossing Folder
Our challenge at Little Red Wagon this week is brought to us by Mandy and she wants us to use an embossing folder on our cards.
I created this sweet little baby girl card.
The background is an embossed 'baby' word background. I then cut out the banner, scalloped circle and baby rattle using my Silhouette.
Now you get to create something awesome using an embossing folder and link it up at Little Red Wagon. Don't forget to stop by each of the Girlfriend's blogs also. You will be sure to get lots of great inspiration.
Have a blessed week ~

Little Red Wagon #308 - Fall Theme
Another Wednesday already? Time is just flying by and I can't believe we are already into our Fall themed challenges at Little Red Wagon! This week Donna wants to see anything for Fall, y'all!
Nothing screams Fall more than pumpkins (well, except maybe leaves changing colors or cooler temperatures or long shadows or fall mums!) so I decided to add a trio of pumpkins to my card.
I also thought that some Kraft cardstock for my card background would add to a fall feel. And instead of using ribbon, I actually pulled out some pretty yarns and twine and tied them to my card.
Even though I am not quite ready to welcome Fall, I enjoyed making this card. Now it is your turn to think Fall. Create a Fall themed card and link it up at Little Red Wagon. We will be sure to stop by your blog and leave some love :)
Little Red Wagon #307 - Something New
Welcome to Wednesday and another great challenge at Little Red Wagon. Brenda is our hostess this week and she wants us to try something new - a new stamp, new technique, new tool, etc.
I saw a great technique on my friend Jan's blog recently and I really wanted to give it a try. It is a layered technique.
I printed out this sweet image 4 times and then I trimmed a bit off each one, going smaller and smaller each time. Then I matted the layers and layered them onto the background.
I just love the simplicity and the effectiveness of this technique. I also added some stitching and a bow I made using my coveted dyed and crinkled ribbon.
I can't wait to see what you try this week! Share your technique with us by linking up your card at Little Red Wagon. See you there.
Little Red Wagon #306 - Digi Do!
This week's challenge at Little Red Wagon is brought to you by Jan and she would like us to use a digital stamp on our card. How fun!
I have been on a clean and simple roll lately, partly because I am really busy with a new job and I don't have time to spend making fussy cards, and partly because I love clean and simple!
I used a digital stamp from Tiddly Inks, Birds in Line, and a sentiment I created in Word. Then I pulled out my trusty Copic markers that I have been neglecting lately and I colored the image up. I did add a bit of glitter to the birds which made them happy :)
I hope you join in the fun this week! Pop on over to Little Red Wagon and link up your creation. We will be sure to visit your blog.

Measuring The Effectiveness of the Tea Parties | The Buffalo Bean
Barack Obama, taxes, tea party
Measuring The Effectiveness of the Tea Parties
by Matt Margolis on	April 15, 2009
I was disappointed to hear today that both Tom Bauerle and Sandy Beach wrote off the Tea Party movement as ineffective. I heard Sandy Beach argue that politicians won’t be swayed by these mass demonstrations, and he spent quite a long time elaborating on his view.
Now, I’m not deluding myself, Barack Obama isn’t gonna change his ways because of the tea parties. But this isn’t about that. You know, there were countless anti-war protests leading up to and during the Iraq War. The war still happened. We are still there. We’ll still be there 6 months from now. We’ll still be there a year from now. But that doesn’t mean those demonstrations against the war didn’t have an impact on the war debate.
The effectiveness of the tea parties will not be measured by immediate change in the tax and spend policies of the government, be it state or federal. This is more like a public awareness campaign. People feel safety in numbers and when large groups of people organize all over the country to say they are mad as hell al the high taxes and wasteful spending, they are keeping that issues in the spotlight and they are raising awareness of the problem in a way that will inspire greater participation in the future. Eventually, it will reach a point when elected officials will not be able to ignore it.
The Civil Rights Movement wasn’t an overnight success. The Tea Party Movement, still in its infancy, has yet to demonstrate its true impact. Tom Bauerle and Sandy Beach need to put the tea parties in proper perspective.

I ate my way through San Francisco | Doodles by Mimi
I ate my way through San Francisco
This entry was posted on January 13, 2013, in Cakes, Cookies, Eat, Savory, Sides, Sweet and tagged Anythony's Cookies, bakery, banana cream pie, Bi-Rite Creamery, bread, cookies, Cowgirl Creamery, farmers market, Ferry Building Marketplace, food, ice cream, Miette, Mission Pie, Tartine. Bookmark the permalink.	Leave a comment
The rain finally let up for a couple of days, so we decided to take a spin through the city and visit our all-time favorite spots. Although this is only a small list of what San Francisco has to offer, it should give a visitor a good taste of the culinary greats.
Hands down my favorite bakery in the world is Tartine. Not only are the croissants buttery works of art (and a breakfast of champions), the cakes, cookies, and other confections are simply delicate pieces of heaven – all with their own wonderful characteristics. Tartine’s menu has something for everyone – sweet or savory. The pots de creme combine a perfectly smooth cream with just the right balance of chocolate. The lemon poppy seed tea cake is moist, has the right amount of lemon flavor and is dusted with powdered sugar. The quiche, with choices that change daily, is made with fresh organic produce, which combines nicely with the fluffy crème fraiche eggs and buttery crisp crust. I’ve have tasted almost everything on the menu, from the brioche bread pudding to the eclair and cookies. But the most amazing thing to Tartine is the bread. Yes, the reason why I cannot ever go carb-free. The breads are available after 5:00 pm Wednesday through Sunday and come in plain country (my favorite), with walnuts, sesame seeds or olive. There’s a reason why the bread continues to win bread competitions all around the world and why there’s always a line out the door and down the street.
Telephone: 1.415.487.2600
One cannot visit Tartine without also grabbing a scoop from Bi-Rite Creamery, which is just a skip down 18th Street from the bakery. This creamery and bake shop has hand crafted, small batch, ice cream in a variety of flavors guaranteed to make your palate happy. My go-to flavors are coffee toffee, roasted banana and chocolate coconut. A kid size scoop on a sugar cone always does the trick for me no matter what the weather – sunny and 75 degrees or raining with a cold breeze.
Down the street from Tartine Bakery, tucked among various neighborhood storefronts is Anthony’s Cookies. Absolutely the perfect cookie – crispy on the outside with a chew in the inside. There are daily, periodic and seasonal cookie flavors. My favorites are the toffee chip and German chocolate, but the chocolate chip is always a good classic too. No mater what the flavor, you won’t be disappointed with these cookies. In fact, you’ll probably leave with more cookies than you expected.
Telephone: 1.415.655.9834
Right around the corner from Anthony’s Cookies is Mission Pie, a cafe and bakery. It has both sweet and savory pies, but my favorite is the banana cream pie. The pies are created using seasonal ingredients, so you’ll find something new all the time. What I like best about the banana cream pie is that there are slices of pie in the cream and that the pie crust is never soggy.

My husband rides and races cyclocross, which means that I’ve had my share of Belgian fries and split pea soup. During the off-season, when the urge for Belgian fries with mayo dipping sauce or Belgian waffles becomes too unbearable, we typically head to Fritz. Crispy on the outside with a fluffy center – just another reason why I can’t go carb-free.

For a variety of goodies without having to drive all over the city, I would definitely recommend the Ferry Building Marketplace. Not only are there great shops within the building, there is also a farmers market on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. My must visit shops within the building include Miette (for cupcakes and French macarons) and Cowgirl Creamery (for the Mt. Tam triple cream). If I lived closer to the ferry building, I would be in a lot of trouble.

The Book of Gems: Pomfret to Bloomfield - Google Books
Saunders and Otley, 1837 - English poetry
Page 75 - THESE, as they change, ALMIGHTY FATHER, these Are but the varied GOD ! The rolling year Is full of Thee. Forth in the pleasing Spring Thy beauty walks, Thy tenderness and love. Wide flush the fields; the softening air is balm ; Echo the mountains round; the forest smiles ; And every sense, and every heart, is joy.
Page 148 - At church, with meek and unaffected grace, His looks adorn'd the venerable place; Truth from his lips prevail'd with double sway, And fools, who came to scoff, remain'd to pray.
Page 79 - A pleasing land of drowsy-head it was, Of dreams that wave before the half-shut eye ; And of gay castles in the clouds that pass, For ever flushing round a summer sky...
Page 34 - tis madness to defer ; Next day the fatal precedent will plead ; Thus on, till wisdom is push'd out of life. Procrastination is the thief of time ; Year after year it steals, till all are fled, And to the mercies of a moment leaves The vast concerns of an eternal scene.

Page 208 - Wi' mair o' horrible and awfu', Which ev"n to name wad be unlawfu'. As Tammie glowr'd, amaz'd, and curious, The mirth and fun grew fast and furious : The piper loud and louder blew ; The dancers quick and quicker flew ; They reel'd, they set, they cross'd, they cleekit, Till ilka carlin swat and reekit, And coost her duddies to the wark, And linket at it in her sark ! Now Tam, O Tam ! had thae been queans, A' plump and strapping in their teens ; Their sarks, instead o...
Page 50 - Whose buzz the witty and the fair annoys, Yet wit ne'er tastes, and beauty ne'er enjoys : So well-bred spaniels civilly delight In mumbling of the game they dare not bite. Eternal smiles his emptiness betray, As shallow streams run dimpling all the way.
Page 122 - Awake, ^Eolian lyre, awake, And give to rapture all thy trembling strings. From Helicon's harmonious springs A thousand rills their mazy progress take : The laughing flowers that round them blow Drink life and fragrance as they flow. Now the rich stream of music winds along, Deep, majestic, smooth, and strong. Thro
Page 168 - My boast is not that I deduce my birth From loins enthroned, and rulers of the earth ; But higher far my proud pretensions rise,— The son of parents pass'd into the skies.

Page 210 - TO A MOUNTAIN DAISY, ON TURNING ONE DOWN WITH THE PLOUGH, IN APRIL, 1786. WEE, modest, crimson-tipped flow'r, Thou's met me in an evil hour; For I maun crush amang the stoure Thy slender stem : To spare thee now is past my pow'r, Thou bonnie gem. Alas ! it's no thy neebor sweet, The bonnie Lark, companion meet ! Bending thee 'mang the dewy weet ! Wi' spreckl'd breast, When upward-springing, blythe, to greet The purpling east.
Page 168 - Wouldst softly speak and stroke my head and smile — Could those few pleasant days again appear, Might one wish bring them, would I wish them here? I would not trust my heart : the dear delight Seems so to be desired, perhaps I might.

ComicsDC: July 2017
Tonight a recent biographical play about comic book creator Jack Kirby will open for a three weekend run in Greenbelt, MD.
In 2014, comic
book writer Fred Van Lente and his wife Crystal Skillman had a Kickstarter
campaign to fund a staging of their “King Kirby” script. At the time, they described the project as:
KING KIRBY is a play by the husband-and-wife
team of New York Times bestselling comics writer Fred Van Lente and NYIT
award-winning playwright Crystal Skillman about the life and times of Jack
Kirby, the great comic book artist who created or co-created some of your
favorite heroes on the page and screen, Captain America, the Avengers, Thor,
Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Iron Man, Young Romance, the New Gods, Darkseid, The
Demon… the list goes on and on.
From the Jewish ghetto of New York's Lower
East Side to the battlefields of France to the Senate hearings of 1950s, this
is a hysterical and heartbreaking story about a man who pours his
quintessentially Twentieth Century life into his comics, only to make the
fateful mistake that sends him into obscurity while his creations become known
to every person on Earth. Original 2014 production art by Ryan Dunlavey A real-life "Adventures of Kavalier
& Klay", King Kirby asks what happens when an artist doesn't own his
own legacy? Can he ever get it back?
King Kirby has been a long-term passion
project of Fred's; with Crystal's help, it's down on paper. Now, with your
help, we'll bring this astounding true story to life on stage.
been staged several times (in Seattle
and NYC)
and is now coming to Greenbelt, MD via Off the Quill and William
Keith Cassidy’s vision. A few days before the premiere, I talked to Cassidy
(who was my daughter’s high school theater teacher and is a friend of mine)
about some specifics of his staging.
Mike Rhode:
When you cast Lee and Kirby, did you look at their real-life counterparts? Was
that an issue for you?
William Keith Cassidy: The nature of the play, and
especially our production, is very theatrical so I didn’t feel I had to. Also,
everyone, and especially Kirby himself, ages several years in the show. Kirby
is on stage the whole time so there can be no makeup. It has to be done with
acting. We have people in the cast playing four or five parts each, so I didn’t
feel that I needed to find people that looked or sounded like them. With the exception
of Stan Lee, because he’s the most recognizable. Erik Harrison had the look,
and if you read his blog
post, he talks about how he always came back to a smile, a grin and this
vibrant, youthful energy that Stan Lee has. The one thing I did want physically
is that I did want Jack Kirby and his wife Roz to be somewhat the same age.
They look like they belong together. I cast a Jack and Roz who are both
relatively young, but I could have cast them as older people. I didn’t want to
cast one as really young and the other as really old; then they don’t look like
they belong together. Whatever their aging is, they have to go together. The
play all these lines about Kirby being short, but the actor isn’t and he has
blond hair. I told him the other night, “I know you don’t look a thing like
him, but by adapting his mannerisms, I think you look like Jack Kirby.”
MR: I have not read this play, so what time frame in Kirby
and Lee’s lives is it set? Is it set at the start of the Marvel Age?
WKC: It’s pretty much Kirby’s whole life. It actually opens
after he’s dead and there’s an auction of his work and Kirby is commenting on
it as an ethereal figure. Then it immediately flashes back to him as a kid in
the street gangs in New York City. It goes through his life. We don’t even get
to Marvel until the last third of the play.
WKC: There’s no intermission and it’s about an hour and
WKC: Yes. There’s one scene between where he’s working for
Max Fleischer and then going to work for Victor Fox, where he leaves the set.
It’s the only time he leaves the stage. For four minutes, he’s not on stage. MR: Are there any other comic book people in it?
WKC: Joe Simon is a major character. The original production
had Kirby and then only four other people. The actress who played Roz played
all the females. The actor that played Simon played a bunch of people. I
thought there were certain characters that were important enough to Jack’s life
and recurred often enough to be their own actor. I didn’t want them to be
ensemble people. My Simon, Lee and Roz -
those are the only roles they play.
MR: So this is a deep dive into comics for an average person
– how much did you have to work to convince the theater that it would draw a wider
WKC: I didn’t have to work that hard, actually. There was
only one theater I wanted to take this to – Off the Quill. I knew some people there
and we’d done some shows together. I’d seen a lot of their shows. Like I said,
I wanted to have a very theatrical, stylized element and this theater is very
good at that. My assistant director Patrick Mullen
really handled all the staging, the transitions, and the movement pieces. He
was the mover and shaker behind the stylized pieces, but I don’t think you have
to have a strong knowledge of comic books. The more you know, the more you’ll
appreciate it, but you can come in knowing nothing.
MR: I saw David
Bar Katz's The History of Invulnerability about Superman creators Siegel
and Shuster at the Washington DC Jewish Community Center years ago, and you
didn’t necessarily have to be steeped in comics.
WKC: Right. There were things I didn’t know about Kirby. I
didn’t know that he and Joe Simon pretty much created the romance comic books.
That was something I learned coming into this.
MR: Is Kirby’s New York background a major part of his
WKC: Yes. I don’t know much he felt this at the time he did
it, or if it was later while looking back, but the play includes his regret
that he changed his name to Jack Kirby from Jacob Kurtzman, because he was
very proud of his Jewish heritage and background. I don’t think he wanted to be
perceived as someone who was trying to hide that. There’s actually a dream
sequence at the end where he and Stan Lee are in a confrontation. The
playwrights use the dream sequence to have a scene where Jack can say all the
things to Stan that maybe he never said. One of the things Stan says is, “C’mon,
you were ashamed,” and Kirby replies that he wasn’t ashamed.
MR: Everybody who was Jewish in comic books at the time
changed their name. It would be hard to find someone who didn’t.
WKC: There’s a funny scene where Stan Lee is a young kid and
he’s writing the prose story in Captain America Comics (which was mandatory for
cheaper postage rates), and Joe Simon says, “Who’s Stan Lee?” Lee says “That’s
me, I changed my name just like Jack.” Jack says, “I changed my name to sound
less Jewish ,” and Joe Simon tells Lee that his name sounds Chinese and he’s
changed one minority for another.
WKC: We had several meetings in the spring and we had
auditions a week or two later. So in April, but we really got into it in May.
WKC: It’s very open. We’re using projectors because I really
want to create the idea that everything’s a comic book page. The projections
are serving a lot of purposes. They’re showing his artwork, which is number one
for me. When I read the play, it seemed
the purpose of the play was to let everyone know what his contributions were, so
the art had to be center. There are several scenes where there’s a transition from
one time to another – it goes from 1961 to 1969, so we’re going to project and show
all the Marvel characters he created. We have him drawing, and all the work
around him on the walls and floors. We have two projectors on the walls, and
one on the floor. We also wanted to use the projectors to show time and place
as we cover a sixty-year span, and we use the projectors to show how his life
influenced his art. There’s one scene during a street gang fight where they
freeze, and it merges into a later Jack Kirby panel with a Viking battle scene
that works really well. The theater is a black box with the audience ¾ of the
way around the stage.
WKC: He’s young, but he reads a lot older on stage. He’s
nineteen years old and he’s 6’ 7”. He’s playing most of the bosses.
He plays Victor Fox, Martin Goodman, General Patton… he’s playing all the
characters that are intimidating.
MR: Whether it was true or not in the real world, Kirby
apparently always felt put upon by anybody he worked for, and that comes
through in the play?
WKC: Oh, yeah. It’s one of the main themes. It’s one of the things
that I responded to personally. Kirby had no problem fighting in a street gang,
or fighting in the Army in France, but tried to avoid personal conflict. He’s
also a product of the Depression and he doesn’t want to hurt his job. Stability
is important to him.
MR: Does the play cover his DC years [when he created The
Fourth World and the New Gods]?
WKC: No, when he leaves Marvel, the play skips 20 years. The
way we’re staging it, we’re doing a transition and will see the DC years through
the artwork projections, but it really picks up again in 1982. MR: The court case against Marvel for the return of his original
WKC: Yes, he’s at a convention and he realizes someone is
selling his original art. That leads into the dream sequence with Stan Lee. We
just know he leaves because he’ll get full credit at DC and not argue with Stan
Lee over who did what. The lack of financial rewards is touched on too. He’s at
this convention and a fan asks him to sign original art, and Kirby asks how he
got it. He also asks the fan about his New Gods for DC, and the fan says he
MR: One of my academic friends, Charles
Hatfield, has written a book arguing that the New Gods are Kirby’s true
vision. And for the new Justice League movie, at least one of Kirby’s
characters is a villain, and the New Gods might be the background for the whole
Justice League film series… hopefully Kirby’s is getting some of the profits.
WKC: I hope so. I love [local author] Marc Tyler Nobleman’s movie
“Batman and Bill” about Bill Finger’s role in Batman. I didn’t know his
story at all. MR: It’s interesting that comic book history is now focusing
on creators instead of just the characters. I hope you are catching a wave.
WKC: I think so. Anybody that likes good theater will like
it. Anybody that likes comic books will like it. We’ve got two good built-in
audiences. It’s a great cast. The
play opens July 28th at the Greenbelt Art Center. Tickets are
$22 or less.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Section 8 Smoker"
From DC's anarchist cartoonist, Mike Flugennock - "Section 8 Smoker" http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=2285 While it's been legal to possess and consume cannabis in DC, citizens here can still only do it in their private homes, which leaves many rental housing residents -- particularly tenants in Federally-subsidized Section 8 public housing -- in a rough spot. Thanks to a budget "rider" introduced by Maryland Rep. Andy Harris a year or so ago as part of a budget bill to avoid a government shutdown, the District Of Columbia is unable to use any of its city budget to implement cannabis taxation/regulation laws, or to implement laws to allow for communal smoking in clubs, bars or cafés and lift the public use ban. This means that most of us in DC who live in rental housing are forced to either go to somebody else's house (basically, a "speakeasy") or take our chances in public, in a park or someplace, where people can smell it -- including the cops, who arrested 354 people last year for public smoking. So, if you're a DC citizen who lives in rental housing and are forced to go to a friend's house or sneak around on the street because there's noplace to go to have a civilized smoke at happy hour, thank Md. Rep. Andy Harris. 11x17 medium-res color .jpg image, 1.3mb -- "Though I could not caution all, I still might warn a few...

Newly published books continue to appear in my mailbox. I'll try to get notices of them up more regularly. I find myself enjoying much of Scholastic's line for young people. Sunny Side Up was one of my favorite recent semi-autobiographical books. A sequel comes out this fall, and is more episodic, but we do meet the older brother whose 1970s-era problems with drugs have led him to being enrolled in military school. Recommended.
Summer's over and it's time for Sunny Lewin to enter the strange and unfriendly hallways of . . . middle school. When her Gramps calls her from Florida to ask how she's doing, she always tells him she's fine. But the truth? Sunny is NOT having the best time.Not only is the
whole middle school thing confusing . . . but life at home is confusing, too. Sunny misses her brother Dale, who's been sent to boarding school. But when Dale comes back, she STILL misses him . . . because he's changed.Luckily Sunny's got her best friend and a mysterious new neighbor on her side . . . because she is NOT going let all this confusion get her down. Instead, she's going to remain Sunny-side up! The Holms are also expanding their Babymouse series beyond the juvenile graphic novel books into middle school and mixed chapter book style. Not read.
Jennifer L. Holm (Author), Matthew Holm (Illustrator)
Random House It’s a new kind of book for Babymouse! Fans of Dork Diaries, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and James Patterson’s Middle School books, this is going to be epic. . . . For Babymouse, middle school is like a monster movie. You can never be sure who’s a friend and who’s an enemy, and the halls are filled with mean-girl zombies. Instead of brains, the zombies hunger for stuff—the perfect wedge sandals or the right shade of sparkly lip gloss—and they expect everyone to be just like them. But Babymouse doesn’t want to fit in—she wants to stand out! So she joins the film club to write and direct a sweeping cinematic epic. Will making the film of her dreams turn into a nightmare? Thanks to Babymouse, middle school gets schooled in this hilarious new series from bestselling authors Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm.
Christopher Eliopoulos (Author, Illustrator)
In this graphic novel adventure for readers of Hilo and Roller Girl,
a pair of twin brothers accidentally bring their favorite video game to
life—and now they have to find a way to work together to defeat it. Jeremy and Justin are twins, but they couldn’t be any more different from each other. Jeremy is a risk taker who likes to get his hands dirty; Justin prefers to read, focus, and get all his facts straight before jumping in. But they do have one important thing in common: They both love video games. When Jeremy wins a cereal-box charm that brings his favorite video game to life, villains and all, he finds that he’s in
way over his head. Justin knows everything there is to know about the rules of the game—he read the handbook, of course—and Jeremy isn’t afraid to try new things. Can these two mismatched brothers work together to beat the video game that has become their life? Lee J. Ames died in 2011, but his Draw 50 series has been continued. Two new books with art by Erin Harvey were sent to us. Not read.

A Strange Problem in Asp.Net FormView control <",c,' onload="var d=',n,";d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].",d,"(d.",g,"('script')).",i,"='",a.l,"'\">"].join("")}var c="body",e=h[c];if(!e)return setTimeout(q,100);a.P(1);var d="appendChild",g="createElement",i="src",k=h[g]("div"),l=k[d](h[g]("div")),f=h[g]("iframe"),n="document",p;k.style.display="none";e.insertBefore(k,e.firstChild).id=o+"-"+j;f.frameBorder="0";f.id=o+"-frame-"+j;/MSIE[ ]+6/.test(navigator.userAgent)&&(f[i]="javascript:false");f.allowTransparency="true";l[d](f);try{f.contentWindow[n].open()}catch(s){a.domain=h.domain,p="javascript:var d="+n+".open();d.domain='"+h.domain+"';",f[i]=p+"void(0);"}try{var r=f.contentWindow[n];r.write(b());r.close()}catch(t){f[i]=p+'d.write("'+b().replace(/"/g,String.fromCharCode(92)+'"')+'");d.close();'}a.P(2)};a.l&&setTimeout(q,0)})()}();c[b].lv="1";return c[b]}var o="lightningjs",k=window[o]=g(o);k.require=g;k.modules=c}({}); window.usabilla_live=lightningjs.require("usabilla_live", "//w.usabilla.com/"+buttonId+".js"); /*]]>{/literal}*/
We have a FormView control to show customer information with paging enabled in an .aspx page named Customer.aspx. We can navigate page by page to show customer information per page. FormView datasource has been a SqlDataSource control which is calling a stored Procedure. And FormView dataKey has been set to be customerID.
Now in this page FormView nevigation is working well showing customer page by page order by their names.
We have another page named Sales.aspx, from which we can get back to our previous page named Customer.aspx by clicking a button. At this time we are taking a particular customerID in Session and calculation the rowid/position of this customer [with an order by query which is the same with the stored procedure of FormView Datasource]. Now we are doing
FormView1.PageIndex = CustomerPosition;
So that we can directly go to the FormView page where this customer is and as FormView datakey is the customerID we can view this particular customer data in that FormView page.
Instead of this we are having a wrong customer data in that page of FormView. What is more interesting here that not every time this is happening……sometimes it is working fine showing correct customer information in FormView pages and ‘Next’,’Previous’ working fine with correct results. Here by correct customer I mean that particular customer which belongs to that FormView page. We have checked our log file. There we have found out that after FormView pageindex has been changed, sometimes (randomly) FormView.selectedvalue is wrongly referring to a different CustomerID which was not the correct one.
The whole behavior is completely random and does not have a recognizable pattern. Sometimes (randomly) FormView.selectedvalue is choosing a wrong value and it’s a read only field. While running it at our local boxes, the frequency of error is less whereas frequency of error is more when we are running it at our server. We are using windows server 2003, Sql server 2005 and IIS6 and ASP.NET 3.0
