We have these wonderful ledgers listing interments that go all the way back to the first burial in the cemetery - John Hendy on October 9, 1858. Hendy, the first white man to plant a field of corn in what is now Elmira (as the story goes), was originally interred in the Baptist burial grounds in 1840. After Woodlawn Cemetery was established, Hendy and the rest of the residents of the burial grounds were moved here and Wisner Park was created next to the Baptist Church.

Happy birthday to Scottish actress and model Freya Mavor.

Freya was born in Glasgow in 1993 but she grew up in the Inverleith area of Edinburgh, her father is an award winning playwright and teaches at Napier University in the city , her great grandad was also a very successful writer, O H Mavor but used the pseudonym James Bridie. He also was instrumental in 1950 setting up a college of drama which has evolved into The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Freya says she got interested in acting after watching the Shining aged just ten! She spent time in France as a child and was educated there and at Mary Erskine’s in Edinburgh, her first acting experience was in school productions of Shakespeare plays. In he own words she says she has developed an accent she can only describe as a “weird mix of Scottish, Irish, English and French”.

Miss Mavor made her professional debut in 2011, when she gained a lead role as Mini McGuinness in the fifth and sixth series of E4 BAFTA-winning drama Skins. She gained this role after going through an open audition process, with more than 8,000 other teenagers auditioning for the show.

Since starting out Freya has gone on to a build a career between France and the UK. She has worked on features such as L'Empereur de Paris alongside Vincent Cassel, and indie films such as The Sense of an Ending by Ritesh Batra or La Dame dans L'auto by Joann Sfar. Her TV credits include The ABC Murders on the BBC and Il Etait Une Seconde Fois for Arte/Netflix, her time in France means she is bilingual, always handy for her acting roles over there. Freya was last seen in another Arte/Netflix show Twice Upon A Time, a sci fi/romance mini series filmed in Bordeaux, Paris, London and Iceland

Mavor has always expressed a love of the theatre an made her own stage debut in London for the play Good Canary, directed by John Malkovich, where she played a drug addict battling with mental illness.

In 2019 Freya starred in Balance, Not Symmetry about an American student who is living a privileged existence at Glasgow School of Art when her father unexpectedly dies. She has also completed a film called Gore but it is on hold due the controversy over one of the stars Kevin Spacey.

Recently Freya has returned in the second season of the British-American television drama series Industry shown on HBO in the United States and BBC 2 over here. has just starred it’s second series Freya is also in a new film, About Joan, internationally filmed drama in several languages and the film Rogue Agent, based on the true story of the English con man Robert Hendy-Freegard who masqueraded as an MI5 agent, it's worth a watch, as is the movie My Policeman.

Freya Mavor’s directorial debut ‘Kink’, no news of a release for it, as yet, the film was also written by the talented Scots lass, with Mavor directing and curating the entire project.

The oddly specific thing I collect is teddy bears in historical uniforms. So far, I only have WWI Australian. These ones are all from the same line, designed for the centenary of the war and in large part intended as educational tools for primary schools. All except the large and the small one came with names, some of whom were mentioned in the accompanying book, "John Murray's Diary" (one of those subscription books where you fill up a ring binder, it included commemorative pennies?? I have it as an E-Book).

The big one was sold as the "Spirit of Remembrance" bear, but I call him Horace. He's real mohair and there were 1,918 of him made to mark the centenary of the armistice. Next to him is Trooper Bert Jones the Light Horse bear with his emu feathers. The one in the helmet and goggles is Lieutenant Thomas Hendy the Australian Flying Corps bear. Next to him is Private John Murray, and next to Murray is Private Ernest Harvey the Gallipoli bear, with his webbing and rifle. Finally, the mini bear was sold as the "Little Digger" bear, and he came with blank attestation papers to "create your own story". I've named him Mervyn. His colour patches are 4th Battalion but I intend to change them to 12th.

In the future I hope to find Bernadette O'Meara the nurse bear, Able Seaman Miller the Navy bear, and a few others, but mostly those two. I'm also saving up for a replica Farnell mascot bear. These were miniature bears able to be carried in the pocket and they were very popular. They were available in the usual blonde mohair but also white, bright red, and blue.

YEN'S DAY < 8

Dearest Mariel,

First of all.. hallooo!! Sinadya ko talaga na-late bumati nang maayos para main character pa rin ako HAHAHHAHA anyways,,,, I don't plan to make you cry but sorry in advance if you will bc I'm gonna be pouring my heart out here. Hehehe. So here goes nothing,,,,,,,

Happiest Birthday, Ate Yen!!! You're literally my second fave ate (kasi first yung mga cousins ko huhu) anyways, I will never get tired of telling you these things: I AM ALWAYS PROUD OF THE WOMAN THAT YOU ARE. ALWAYS. IM ALWAYS GONNA BE HERE FOR YOU.

I will forever be grateful for Regine because if it weren't for her hendi siguro kita makikilala. And also that salonpas thing!!!! LIFESAVER!! Crazy how it's almost a year when we first met but it feels like we've known each other for years. Maybe because we have the same wavelength (???) or because we understand each other and we literally have the same brain cells ( which is kinda scary sometimes siyet we need sheezus atp ) or maybe because we have this red string of fate. Maybe we're fated to be friends for life (??) maybe we were destined to meet. Idk but whatever that reason is, I am grateful for the chance you have given me to get to know you more. For unlocking your doors even though you already decided to lock them forever. For opening up your window again. For breaking your walls down.. ( I know this was one of the hardest things to do but still thank you). For letting me meet your life— Franco and Iñigo. Thank you, Ate. Thanks for being so kind. You may not know this but you don't know how lucky we are to have you by our side. REALLY. Idk if you're aware of this but you are indeed lucky. Lucky enough to have a kind and understanding heart that even if someone turns their back against you, you'll get hurt but you'll still understand them. It's a blessing and a curse tbh. But yea.. I hope you won't let anyone take that for granted. AND THEIR LUCKY TOO. SUPER BY SEVENTEEN. Anyways,, I am beyond grateful for all the things you did for me. Especially that one night. One specific night. Thank you for welcoming me with arms wide open that night. I was really scared. REALLY REALLY SCARED. I had to force myself to think that whatever happens I know you'll be there. It helped me little but my fears were stronger that night. But still, I conquered it because of you. You helped me beat my fears and I am forever grateful for that. There are a lot of times that I've conquered my fears with your help. Like literally a lot. Remember that night when I told you about my dad? It was my first time to tell those things I don't share with people. First time to open a fresh wound to someone.. because I know I needed to do that. I needed to release that for me to move forward and I am grateful that you were there that night. I was lost.. I felt the darkness again but thanks to you for passing me the torch of life. I had my hopes again. ): You saved me, Ate Yen. I hope you know that. I hope you know you are saving me everyday.. I hope I am too. (in any way.. )

When you're happy, something in me is healing too. (this is real.. seeing you guys having the time of your lives gives that satisfaction in me that even when I'm not in your lives anymore, even if I'm not included in your plans in the future anymore, I know you are happy. That is the healing part.) When you're sad, my heart aches three times.. my heart aches for you because I know you're kind and you don't deserve that kind of sufferings BUT I also know that without those sufferings, you won't grow out your wings.. Just like what John Green said in Paper Towns— Pain demands to be felt. Without them we won't grow. So let the pain come, my love. Let them come. Embrace them because you have me. Again, I am ready and willing to share half of your struggles so you won't carry them alone. I will walk with you in that path full of thorns until we reach that path of garden full of sunflowers and tulips and roses. And I know I've said this to the wrong person before.. I wanna say it to you.. because you deserve these words ( not patrick).. When someone cut you off out of their life, PLEASE don't hesitate to bring the end of your string to me. Bring the end of your string to me and I'll tie it with mine. I'll make knot that no one can break, not even my demons.

I hope you had a blast today, Ate. I'll make bawi to you when I come back. I know how much you love the sky as much as I love them so here's my gift ( for now huhu). I haven't uploaded them yet except for the plane fifth pic lol. I hope this will bring comfort to you when days are rough and it feels like the world is crumbling beneath your feet. I hope this will make you feel at ease when the voices inside your head gets loud and you need something to distract you. I hope this will give you fresh air so that you can breathe anytime when you feel tired. I hope you find light in these photos everytime the darkness tries to consume you. I hope this will remind you that not all endings are sad. I hope this will bring hope to you just like how it brings hope to me. I hope this will help you heal from the things you don't say to anyone.. I am hoping. REALLY hoping.

Notice how every sunset and sunrise is different from each other but they still give off that radiant color of orange-red-bluish shit color. Different sunset and sunrise but still the same sky. I'd like to say that that's how life works. That's how YEN works. Every struggles and hurdles you have in life is different. They have different levels of pain. But despite of that, you are still you. Yen is still yen. The only difference is, you become wiser the next time you face something very difficult again. You become stronger than you were before— like the radiant color of the sky. The more vibrant they are, the brighter and intense they are. More colorful. More eye-catching.. You give off that vibrant color to everyone. The reason why you are everyone's comfort person. I hope you are your comfort person too.

I have so many things to say, Ate. Like literally so many. But I'll save them for Christmas and New Year hehe. I was planning to give you a written letter but it will take time for you to receive it pa. I prefer to give you a written one rather than this. I'd like to burn and bleed these words to a piece of paper rather than typing them tho lol but either way naman, I know you'll still keep it. (:

I love you so much, Ate Yen. You help me get through everyday (alongside with btsvtxtencteez). One of the few person who pushed me to be the best version of myself. One of those people who believed in me. One of the few person whom I trust with all my life and One of the few person whom I let to see my naked soul. I love you with all my heart. See you soon! Happy Birthday, my love!

Please be happy, always.

—Jeanne.

ROLLING STONE | “75 Greatest Boy Band Songs of All Time” | (75/75)

East 17, “House Of Love” (1992)

“The Stones to Take That’s Beatles, these four Walthamstow boys were tough as nails and looked like they hadn’t slept in weeks. Their debut, “House of Love,” is a typical example of their output: maximalist, fast-paced and topped with rousing messages of love and unity. Songwriter/rapper Tony Mortimer told M magazine he “put the band together based on New Kids on the Block,” though East 17 had a closer musical lineage to the stadium house of the KLF. Mortimer wrote “House of Love” as an ironic take on the rave scene’s increasing commercialization, but it’s hard to see too much cynicism in lines like “We got to stop the pain and put the wars on hold.” This utopia unfortunately dissolved in 1997 when lead singer Brian Harvey was sacked for bragging about his casual ecstasy use (“like having a cup of tea”). Mortimer then left citing exhaustion and Harvey later infamously ran himself over with his own car, claiming he had eaten “too many jacket potatoes.”

[end-of-the-world-optimist]

It’s a testament to Norton’s excellence that we don’t question the casting for an instant. He plays John with quiet and very affecting dignity and restraint, keeping his emotions under wraps at even the most fraught moments. His Belfast accent is spot on too.

[...] They were only allowed to work with Daniel for four hours a day. Strict rules were in place to make sure the child actor was not exploited. Norton was fascinated by Daniel’s approach. “To begin with, he really didn’t understand what it was to step into another person. He didn’t know the difference between rehearsal and filming. Half way through the shoot, he turned to his mum and said, ‘When do we start the film?’ It was amazing to see him over these four and a half weeks learn this process of filmmaking, acting and storytelling.”  

Soon, the child actor was able to respond whenever Pasolini called “action” and, as Norton puts it, “to go into this other head space, this character Michael”, learning he is about to lose his father. Then, when Pasolini called “cut”, Daniel would immediately turn straight back into the mischievous, loveable little boy who had caught the casting directors’ attention in the first place. “He didn’t even know what he was doing. It was completely extraordinary to witness. I don’t know how he did it.”

[...]  As ever, Norton has multiple projects in the pipeline. He is half way through shooting Joss Whedon’s new HBO TV sci‑fi drama, The Nevers. No, he jokes, he doesn’t play a window cleaner. His character, Hugo Swan, is a “crazy, pansexual posh boy who runs Satanic orgy clubs”. He has also recently set up his own production company, Rabbit Track Pictures, which he is running with producer Kitty Kaletsky. Their first project, Chasing Agent Freegard, stars Norton himself in the true story of British barman Robert Hendy-Freegard, who posed as an MI5 agent. It could therefore be very useful practice for Bond. However, if Norton really wants to continue appearing in offbeat, naturalistic dramas like Nowhere Special, I wonder if it might be wiser to avoid 007.

The Miller’s Prologue and Tale

Everyone applauds the Knight and his tale, and the Host asks the Monk to beat that. But before the Monk could say something, the Miller cuts him off by volunteering to tell his tale. Everyone can tell how drunk he is, but the Miller insists that he’ll tell a tale just as ‘noble’ as the Knight’s. The Host doesn’t think he’s all that great and asks someone ‘better’ to tell their tale. Insulted, the Miller threatens to leave and the Host finally agrees to let him do what he wants. The Miller reminds them that he’s very drunk (they don’t really need him to say that) and to excuse his blubbering and mistakes (yeah, right). 

He starts off by saying that it’s about a carpenter, his wife, and young man who fools the carpenter. And because this is a fabliau, the ‘fooling’ involves the guy sleeping with the carpenter’s wife. The Reeve in their group, thinking that he’s talking about him, shouts in indignation. Miller insists that it’s not him and that as a married man himself, doesn’t really mind if his own wife is sleeping with another man because that’s none of his business (o....kay?). Basically, he was playing with words because he really said ‘pryvetee.’ The word is translated as ‘secrets’, but it could also mean ‘private’ as in ‘private parts’. Makes sense now? The narrator, Geoffrey Chaucer in the tale and not the actual writer, apologizes for the indecency of the tale, but reminds the audience that they cold always skip this one if they’re easily offended.

The tale begins by introducing Hendy (handy/clever) Nicholas, an Oxford student studying astrology and very much acquainted with the art of love. He’s boarding at Sely (silly) John the carpenter’s place. The old man gets easily easily jealous and highly possessive of his 18 year-old wife Alison, who’s very gifted in the chest area.

One day, John leaves the two alone and Nicholas decides to approach Alison. She threatens to scream for help, but Nicholas cries and ends up getting pitied by Alison. After convincing her with some sweet words as well, Alison says they can only play ‘hide the stick’ if it’s safe (i.e., John doesn’t find out). Nicholas assures her that he can fool the carpenter.

But it’s not just Nicholas who likes Alison. There’s Joly (I believe it means beautiful?) Absolon, a vain parish clerk, who vies for the young wife’s attention. He also works as a barber and is skittish with the sight of butts (you’ll soon know why these are important to include). Every night and every time she’s at church, he gives her gifts, sings to her, offers money, but she only has eyes for Nicholas. Meanwhile, Nicholas devises a plan for them to spend the night together doing naked wrestling. He tells Alison to tell John that he (Nicholas) hasn’t been feeling too well. The carpenter has a servant go up to his room to bring him food, and they report how awful he looks. John assumes it’s because he’s been lquesitoning ‘God’s pryvetee’ by studying astronomy. Either way, he feels bad and personally comes up to visit the young man in his room.

There, Nicholas tells his landlord that God gave him a vision about another or even worse flood of Noah’s that will come and drown all of them come next Monday. Just as the man predicts, John reacts by fearing for his and Alison’s wife (he adores her sooooo much). Nicholas proposes to the carpenter to tie up three tubs to the roof of the barn, each of them filled with provisions and an ax. On the night of the flood, they’ll sleep in the tubs and cut the rope with the ax the moment the water reaches them. They can hack through the roof and stay in the safety of their tubs until it subsides. Nicholas also warns John that they can only do nothing but pray as soon as they’re in the tubs. Genius, really.

Of course, Sely John believes him. Come Monday night, the three prepare the tubs. Tired from all the work, John falls asleep. As soon as they hear the first sound of his snore, the two young lovers go down from their tubs and escape to John’ room to thread the needle. Dawn arrives, and Absolon makes his appearance in hopes of asking for a kiss, perhaps even more, from his sweet Alison. The wife says no again and again, until she thinks of a prank. She finally tells the clerk that he’ll get his kiss in the dark (uh oh).

Elated, Absolon leans forward in anticipation. Unbeknowst to him, Alison exposes her ass to him by the window and gets kissed by Absolon. This is proof that the saying ‘kiss my ass’ is older than we originally thought it would be. Well acquainted with different kinds of hair (which means he knows what butt hair feels like, and it’s definitely not like facial hair), the clerk pulls away in embarrassment. The two lovers end up laughing their asses off (haha, get it?), while Absolon wants to get revenge on them. He goes to the blacksmith’s place and takes a poker still piping red-hot, and goes back to the carpenter’s place.

He asks again for a kiss and offers a ring along with it. This time, it’s Nicholas who goes to the window to offer his ass since he’s already planning on relieving himself. Just as he lets out a huge fart (yeah yeah, I get it - so many bodily substance jokes), Absolon brands him with the poker. Nicholas leaps away as he cries for water loudly. So loud it was, that John wakes up and assumes that the flood has arrived.

The carpenter grabs his ax to free his tub from the roof, only for him to crash into the ground with a broken arm. They've made so much noise that the townspeople get curious of what’s going on. John tells them of the vision Nicholas told him about, but the two lovers play ignorant and deny what he’s saying. This makes the townspeople think that the carpenter’s gone mad and laugh at him, but John only asks that God save them all.

End of tale.
