Mayor's Press Office
BOSTON - April 28, 2015 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh, in partnership with City Councilor Michelle Wu, today invited musicians, businesses, and the public to participate in "Acoustic on Main," a 10-night event in Boston's Main Streets Districts during Small Business Week. From May 1-10 Main Streets businesses are encouraged to host local acoustic performances with up to 5 instrumental or vocal performers from 4 pm to 9 pm. Participating businesses will not be required to apply for a live entertainment license or pay a fee to the City to hold the performances.
"This winter was very difficult for Boston's small businesses," said Mayor Walsh. "Now that Spring has arrived, we are excited to enliven our Main Streets districts with music to support our local businesses while also supporting our local musicians. Consider shopping locally and taking in a performance during Acoustic on Main and empower our neighborhoods to thrive."
"Our local small businesses open their doors to the community in sun or snow - they anchor our neighborhoods and make Boston welcoming and vibrant," said Councilor Michelle Wu. "After a hard winter, let's spend time in our Main Streets districts supporting our small businesses and enjoying live music throughout the city!"
"This is a great opportunity to introduce the community to artists they haven't heard of. Acoustic music brings a different sound to the community," said Amanda Ford of Soler, an urban apparel and streetwear retailer in the Grove Hall Main Street district. "Acoustic on Main will increase the exposure for our community and area; this is another opportunity for us to be a catalyst of the New Grove Hall. Small businesses are the life blood of community; they employ people in the area and operate with the local residents and community interests in mind. Small business create positive change for community."
"For many, the idea of live music invokes loud music and nightclubs," said Brian Piccini, owner of Boston Chops in Washington Gateway Main Streets, and a local musician. "This is a great opportunity to showcase acoustic performers and change that dynamic. After the winter we have had, we need all the help we can get to liven the business districts."
"We're thrilled to open our doors to the wealth of local musical talent across Boston, and offer our customers a new experience when they stop in," said Joanne Chang, owner of Flour and Myers + Chang. "We're looking forward to participating in Acoustic on Main, and supporting the local Main Streets district."
Businesses and musicians who wish to participate can register at the Acoustic on Main website, and businesses hosting events are also welcome to submit those events to the City of Boston's online calendar. As the schedule develops, members of the public will also be able to find events in their neighborhood, and are encouraged to follow and engage with the event using #AcousticOnMain. The Acoustic on Main website will be updated with a Map of Main Streets information, as well as with an events calendar with confirmed performances.
Businesses and musicians will make decisions regarding compensation for performers, however, just as the City of Boston encourage residents to support small businesses, we also encourage small businesses to support local musicians.
Acoustic on Main is made by possible by a partnership between City Councilor Michelle Wu, the City Council's Committee on Arts & Culture, the City Council's Committee on Small Business, Entrepreneurship & Innovation, the City of Boston's Office of Business Development, the Mayor's Office of Arts & Culture, and the Mayor's Office of Consumer Affairs and Licensing.

Pakistani Drone Strike Opponents Block NATO Shipments to Afghanistan
Pakistani government continues to privately back the US-led drone campaign in spite of growing public opposition to drone strikes

Michael Ratner: Obama continues model of Presidential fiat, Congressional fiat, no due process, no trials, and indefinite detention.
A Question Of Legality
Attacks by the CIA on rescuers and funeral-goers may be morally questionable. But are such attacks legal? It is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions to attack rescuers wearing emblems of the Red Cross or Red Crescent. But what if rescuers wear no emblems, or if civilians are mixed in with militants, as the Bureau's investigation into drone attacks in Waziristan has repeatedly found? Speaking publicly for the first time on the controversial CIA drone strikes, President Obama claimed last week that they are used strictly to target terrorists, rejecting what he called 'this perception we're just sending in a whole bunch of strikes willy-nilly'. He also claimed that the strikes 'have not caused a huge number of civilian casualties'. Despite such assertions, some international legal experts continue to question the covert drone campaign, arguing that the strikes amount to little more than state-sanctioned extra-judicial executions. Justification Surprisingly, after almost a decade of drone attacks outside the battlefield, the question of their legality has never been tested in a US or international court, even when US citizens have been targeted. The Obama administration has however sought to present some legal justification for its actions. Harold Koh, a legal adviser at the State Department, became the first senior US official to engage with the question in a March 2010 speech. He told an audience of lawyers that 'US targeting practices, including lethal operations conducted with the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, comply with all applicable law, including the laws of war.' US drone strikes, Koh claimed, were…

The thing I want is to register frontend controller routes from an addon (sounds pretty basic to me) but I cant get it to work.
This questions is exactly the same as: https://statamic.com/forum/3595-use-addon-route-and-controller-in-frontend But the solution didn't work.
The reason why I want to make an addon is because we already have a existing laravel application running on Laravel with a lot of custom controller pages and we wan't to move these into aSstatamic driven site.
So.. I've created a addon named "Core" https://imgur.com/a/KHhK4ps
This addon has a routes.yaml file:
/test: [email protected]
This route is working: http://site.test/admin/addons/core/test
But this route should be working http://zonneplan.test/test
As @Erin Dalzell mentions, this should just work but it doesn't. (and i already retried creating the addon and clearing all the caches). How can i get my frontend controllers working from an addon?
Thanks in advance!

Right Behind You by Lisa Gardner
Thirteen-year-old Sharlah, fostered by Rainie and Quincy, is unable to show her delight when told she is about to be formally adopted. Her traumatic past keeps her from showing much emotion and from verbally expressing how pleased she is. Sharlah's background includes an abusive family, the violent deaths of her parents, separation from her brother, and a series of foster homes. Quincy, retired FBI profiler, and his wife Rainie are familiar with serial killers and psychopaths through their work, and although retired are still occasionally involved in solving cases. "Sharlah loves one thing best about her new family: They are all experts on monsters."
A double killing at a gas station initiates a family crisis--the killer may be Telly Ray Nash, Sharlah's brother.
What didn't work for me:
The prologue (from Telly's pov) was too long. And it is a rare book in this genre that doesn't have a prologue these days.
Too much telling. The sections with the thoughts of Sharla and Telly were also way too long--but of course, without them the action makes little sense. While inserts like these are often useful, they shouldn't be required to order to understand the story.
The tracker Cal was a cheese maker. That fact has little to do with the plot, but is mentioned over and over. Sharlah says that you can recognize an FBI profiler even in casual clothes. Huh?
The plot was over-complicated. There were elements that should have worked, but didn't.
I liked Gardner's Crash & Burn (Tess Leoni series) and Find Her and Catch Me (D.D. Warren series), but Say Goodbye the only other book I've read in the Rainie and Quincy series I've read, I didn't care for.
I will stick to the Tessa Leoni and D.D. Warren books from now on.

I wasn't as happy with the previous book as I had been with earlier books by this author. Now to hear that this one has some issues as well. I may stick to reading earlier books by Lisa Gardner. I've still got a few that I haven't sampled. I'm pretty sure I've read at least one with Rainie and Quincy - can't recall the name.ReplyDelete
Too bad this one wasn't better. I've only read Find Her by Gardner...which I really liked. It sounds like Crash & Burn might be the one to try next. :)ReplyDelete
Like Lark, I've only read Find Her by this author. Guess I'm in no hurry to read this book and will read her earlier books instead.ReplyDelete
Oh so true it seems like all crime novels have a prologue now! I've read some of her books before and have enjoyed them but from your description of this one something sounds off.ReplyDelete

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Nuptial Mass and when can a couple have one?
A Nuptial Mass is a Mass which includes the celebration of the sacrament of marriage. It has special readings and prayers suitable to the Sacrament of Marriage. The Sacrament of Marriage between two baptized Catholics should normally be celebrated within Mass.
If the situation warrants it and the local bishop gives permission, a Nuptial Mass may be celebrated for a marriage between a Catholic and a baptized person who is not a Catholic, except that Communion is not given to the non-Catholic since the general law of the church does not allow it. In such instances, it is better to use the appropriate ritual for marriage outside Mass. This is always the case in a marriage between a baptized Catholic and a non-baptized person.

Utah Speaker of the House, Becky Lockhart (Republican, Provo), sent out a mass email to members of the Utah House of Representatives Thursday evening, including detailed instructions on how to impeach Attorney General John Swallow should the time come.
Over the past 5 months, it has been revealed that recently elected Republican Attorney General John Swallow is under criminal investigation by multiple state and federal agencies for corruption. The allegations against him include: the facilitation of a bribe, extortion, filing false or misleading public financial disclosures, and attorney ethics violations.
While Speaker Lockhart was very clear in her letter that she hopes impeachment of the Attorney General won't be necessary, it sends a loud message that the powerful Republican is becoming increasingly frustrated with Swallow.
The email included the following letter, infographic on the impeachment process, and impeachment memo from the Office of Legislative Research and General Counsel.
Dear Colleagues,
Thank you for the opportunity I have had over the past few months to speak with many of you and share thoughts and concerns about the various reports regarding our Attorney General. These conversations and considerations have led me to deep reflection. These are serious issues with serious potential consequences. I appreciate and value your insights and opinions. It is not surprising that our constituents are asking questions and offering input. I have always believed that good and accurate information enables us to make appropriate decisions. As Speaker, it is my responsibility to make sure you are prepared for any and all circumstances that may arise.
The Utah Constitution vests the Legislature with the power to make laws and appropriate taxpayer dollars. And we take these responsibilities very seriously. It also vests the House of Representatives with the power to impeach.
Impeachment is a process that is often misunderstood, and because of its rarity, seldom researched. As Speaker of the House, I've put considerable time and effort into this topic over the past several months — not as a reflection of someone's innocence or guilt, but rather to be prepared for any situation with which we may be presented.
To that end, I've attached a few documents to this e-mail that will hopefully answer many of your questions. The first is a flow chart prepared by OLRGC that outlines the impeachment process and references the Utah Constitution, state statute and legislative rule where appropriate. Second, is a copy of the memo our General Counsel prepared for the Senate in late January of this year in response to their questions. I repeat, I do not send you these materials with any pre-determined outcome in mind. Please consider them as information to enable us to be prepared and informed about our responsibilities and to be the best possible representatives of the people.
One of the singular privileges of serving in the Utah House of Representatives is that we meet each challenge head on. We make difficult decisions. We carry out our fiduciary duties. We represent our constituents with fidelity.
It is my sincere hope that impeachment be something we never have to address. But in the event it has to happen, we will certainly be prepared.
Speaker Becky Lockhart

Before It Opens Thursday, We Get A Peek Into Houndstooth's Methods And First Dallas Location.
Welcome to Unfiltered, our new weekly feature that explores the Dallas coffee scene — and how it often manages to thrive in the most unusual places. Given that we live in a time when Starbucks locations are about as prevalent as the golden McDonald's arches, when new coffee shops seem to open every other week and when almost everyone uses a ChemEx to brew their coffee, we're here to show you some alternatives — for when your coffee shop routine becomes monotonous or when you're just looking for something different in your caffeine endeavors. Check out this feature's archives here.
Houndstooth Coffee.
1900 Henderson Avenue.
It's been a little while since Henderson Avenue has had a dedicated coffee shop for the neighborhood. But that's just a couple of days shy of changing now, what with the impending arrival of the long-awaited Austin-based chain Houndstooth Coffee on this coming Thursday morning.
Let it be known now, though: Despite its location in a space where the previous tenants just so happened to be in the coffee business as well, don't think of Houndstooth as just a coffee stand-in. This is a shop that comes with its own ethos and own state of being, all of which has been shaped by owner Sean Henry's experiences in the trade.
Yes: After spending the last 12 years in Austin, Henry has decided to come back home and connect with the Dallas coffee scene.
"We knew that Dallas is in need of good coffee," says Henry. "There are a lot of good people in coffee now, and we're excited to join that community."
And how: Henry's new Dallas, from even a design standpoint, is meant to upgrade the coffee experience. Inside, the shop is designed with sleek, bright decor shaped by fresh honey brown wood tables with bright turquoise communal seating. The bar-stool-and-table combinations strewn about the space, meanwhile, features heights designed intentionally taller than the average so as to kind of initiate conversation among customers. The hope is that Houndstooth won't be a place where people will just plug up their laptops, but that it will open itself up as a spot more inclined toward community gathering.
Also worth noting: There's no menu on the wall. Instead, once the space opens later this week, customers will order their drinks with the help and inputs of the baristas. Again, the idea here is focused around initiating conversation. For this reason, the baristas are being trained with in-depth knowledge of all things coffee to share with the customers
"We really want our baristas to feel empowered to talk about coffee and give them the tools they need to create what we call a 'shared language' with our guests," says Henry about Houndstooth's coffee program. "We want people to understand what they like and don't like about coffee."
For the most part, the Dallas shop will be largely the same as the two Austin locations with the idea of keeping things consistent and with the business growing into the space. Hence the long time between the shop's announcement and its opening.
As for the coffee? Well, Houndstooth is already widely known for being one of the best multiroaster cafes in the United States , hosting coffees from places such as Henry's own Dallas-based roasting company Tweed, as well as Counter Culture Coffee and Supersonic Coffee.
The shop will also feature two hoppers of espresso at all times, starting with Tweed's Timepiece and Counter Culture's Rustico. The drink menu will consist of standard espresso fare, as well as various pour-overs, iced coffees and cupping sessions for people wanting to learn more about specialty coffee.
On my stop-in yesterday, I got to try hot and Japanese versions of Tweed's Rosario, as made by the baristas during one of their training sessions. Having the two back to back helped show just how vastly different the same coffee bean can taste if made different ways: Whereas the hot version highlighted the sweet chocolate flavor of the Mexican bean, the cold one brought out its balance and smoothness.
That's an experience Henry hopes his shop can help share with Dallas' coffee drinkers — and, to a degree, it's one that people are expecting, given Houndstooth's excellent reputation. But that, Henry knows, can be something of a mixed bag when entering a new market.
"We feel like our goal is to meet or exceed someone's expectations," he says. "But sometimes those expectations are so high. We want them to be high, but not but impossible."
So it makes sense, then, to hear that Henry equates the opening experience of a shop to a jazz album: So long as the audience has patience, he says, his shop will be afforded the chance grow and build into something good.
Adds Henry: "We have the possibility of doing some fun stuff here."

Wilson, N.C.—The North Greenville volleyball team fell to 10-12 overall and 4-6 in Conference Carolinas after dropping a heartbreaking 3-2 (25-11, 24-25, 25-21, 22-25, 15-9) decision to Barton College on Saturday afternoon.
The Crusaders out hit the Bulldogs with a .200 percentage compared to Barton's .177 percentage. Samantha Del Toro led the Crusaders with 14 kills. Rebekah Mayes and Yomi Adeyeye also had double digit kills for the Crusaders with 13 and 12.
The Crusaders hit .300 en route to the dominating 14-point win in the first set. NGU looked in control of the match with a 22-17 lead in the second set before the Lady Bulldogs scored the next five points to tie the game at 22. NGU netted two of the following three points to serve for set point. With North Greenville poised to take a 2-0 lead, a kill by Barton sophomore Jillian Sherman tied the score at 24-all before Barton closed out the 26-24 win with back-to-back kills to tie the match.
Barton held a 13-12 edge midway through the third set but this time North Greenville responded snapping off four points, capped by a service ace by Rebekah Mayes to jump ahead for the rest of the frame. Mayes helped the Crusaders regain the one-set advantage with two more kills on points 24 and 25.
The Bulldogs found themselves an 18-14 advantage late but after an NGU timeout, the Crusaders scored the next five points including three consecutive kills by Yomi Adeyeye to take a 19-18 edge. The Bulldogs responded with a 3 point run themselves to take the lead. The Crusaders tied the game for the eighth time at 22 all before Barton would go on to score three consecutive points to force a winner take all fifth set.
The two teams kept trading points to start the final act before Barton took a slim 8-7 lead as the two squads switched ends of the court. An ensuing service error deadlocked the set for a seventh and final time at 8-8 before the Lady Bulldogs pulled away with points on seven of the next eight plays to take a 15-9 final set decision.
Despite Saturday's loss, the Crusaders remain in fourth place in the Western Division ahead of 4-7 Limestone and 0-11 Converse. The Crusaders will play host to Mount Olive on October 15th.

Floral splash
Flowers are arguably one of the most popular photographic subjects and can be encompassed within a host of genres including, macro, landscapes and still life
Flowers are arguably one of the most popular photographic subjects and can be encompassed within a host of genres including, macro, landscapes and still life. Thanks to their detailed textures and naturally bold colours, they are capable of adding an eye-catching element to your shots.
In this tutorial, we'll show you how to photograph flowers from a fresh perspective by adding water into the mix. This image was taken by simply submerging flowers at speed into a water-filled tank. It's an action-packed technique that only takes minutes to set up and what's more, you're likely to have all the ingredients to a great shot at home already. To create your own creative flower shot, you'll need a flat-sided vase or glass tank that's filled with water, a remotely controlled flashgun to freeze the action, your DSLR, a remote shutter release and artificial flowers.
As this is a trial and error technique, artificial flowers are a necessity, as you'll find natural flowers will quickly lose their form due to the continuous dunking. You'll also need plenty of memory card space. Follow these steps to find out how to re-create the effect at home.
What you'll need
Remote shutter release
Flashgun and stand
Remote flash trigger
Colourful backdrop
Tank or flat-sided vase filled with water
Artificial flowers
Shooting steps
1 Position your backdrop Once you have collected all of the items for you shoot, you can set up a home studio space. Start by securing a coloured piece of card against a wall, which will be the backdrop to your shot. Place a tank or flat-sided vase on the flat surface in front and fill with water.
2 Set up your tripod Set your camera up on a sturdy tripod in front of the vase or tank and position your flashgun or studio flash head to one side. Attach the remote flash trigger to the flashgun and your camera's hotshoe so that it fires remotely as you shoot. Now select your flashgun's Manual mode.
3 Adjust your flashgun settings Set the flashgun to half-power – you can reduce or increase this later, if necessary. Position your flashgun to one side of the tank. Now select the Remote Shutter Release mode on your camera, which will free up your hands as you shoot so that you can dunk the flowers in the water as you take the shot.
4 Select Manual mode Set your camera to Manual mode (M) and adjust your exposure settings by selecting f16, 1/200sec and a low ISO. Take a test shot of the set-up to ensure the flash fires and the scene is well lit. Check results and adjust your exposure if necessary.
5 Focus your camera To ensure sharp shots, position the flowers in the water and focus on them using autofocus. Once focus is set, switch your focus to Manual mode to prevent the camera from hunting. Avoid moving the lens from here on to keep the focus accurate.
6 Shoot the action Once you're set up and your exposure and flash settings are correct, you can begin dunking the flowers in the water while releasing the shutter remotely. Dunk the flowers in a straight, vertical direction and twist the stem when you pull them up to create more bubbles.
Flash trigger
Fire the flash remotely using a flash trigger
Flash is essential to freeze the flower action indoors, so you'll need a single studio head or a portable flashgun. A wireless trigger is a necessity as it will enable you to keep the flash off-camera.
You'll need to attach one trigger to the bottom of your flashgun and the other to your camera's hotshoe. Ensure that they are both set to the same channel so the camera can communicate with the flash.
Ensure your camera is also set to single frame capture as opposed to continuous or burst. Burst mode settings are commonly used with action photography, but the flash is unlikely to recycle quick enough for every frame.
Editing steps
1 Rotate the image and crop In Photoshop rotate the image via Image>Image Rotation>180. Pick the Crop tool, hold down Shift and drag in one of the anchor points to crop out the edges of the tank.
2 Select the Clone Stamp Duplicate the background layer and then select the Clone Stamp tool. Adjust the Size and select a high Opacity. Zoom into your image and hold down the Alt key to select a clear area of background.
3 Remove unwanted marks Now slowly paint over areas you want to remove in the image, such as tank or vase edges and any unwanted water marks. You can also remove any frayed edges around the flower petals. Now duplicate the layer.
4 Sharpen your shot Go to Filter>Other>High Pass and increase the slider to 8.0 Pixel Radius then click OK. In the Layer Blending Mode options, select Hard Light – you can then adjust the layer's Opacity if necessary.

The EU pledged on Monday to help set up 100,000 places in reception centers along the migrant route through the Balkans, in a bid to defuse rising tensions on its eastern frontier over how to deal with the crisis.
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker made the announcement after emergency talks with the heads of 10 EU nations, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, plus the leaders of non-EU Albania, Serbia and Macedonia.
"Managing migration flows together is the only way to restore order, to slow down the uncontrolled flow of people. The uncontrolled flow of people must be stopped," Juncker told a press conference in Brussels.
"It cannot be that in the Europe of 2015, people are left to fend for themselves, sleeping in fields."
The meeting comes after Bulgaria, Romania and Serbia on Saturday warned they could close their borders to stop them becoming a "buffer zone" for the tens of thousands of people streaming into Europe every day.
"This is one of the greatest litmus tests Europe has ever faced," Merkel told the press conference with Juncker.
Juncker said the reception places, to be provided with the help of the United Nations' refugee agency, the UNHCR, will help provide shelter and speed up registration of migrants.
Some 50,000 places will be created across Balkan countries such as Macedonia and Serbia, while the other half will be located in Greece. That includes 30,000 to be made available this year, and another 20,000 will be set up with families or in rental housing subsidized by the UNHCR.
Building Stone
By trying to separate genuine refugees from economic migrants, the centers would also help speed the planned relocation of 160,000 asylum seekers from overstretched Greece and Italy throughout the 28-nation EU.
Moving up through the Balkans they have overwhelmed many countries, with Hungary clamping down on border crossings with Serbia and then Croatia to halt the flow into the country.
Budapest's move has sparked tensions with Brussels, fellow EU members and particularly its neighbors, with tiny Slovenia swamped by more than 60,000 migrants in recent days.
Fears are rising that the crisis is threatening the cherished "Schengen" system of borderless travel, one of the bedrock achievements of the EU since it was founded in the chaos following World War II.
"Europe has to show itself a continent of values and solidarity," Merkel said, adding: "This evening was a building stone in the edifice."
Slovenian Prime Minister Miro Cerar warned that the EU itself was at stake when he arrived for the talks.
"If we do not deliver some immediate and concrete actions on the ground in the next few days and weeks, I believe the EU and Europe as a whole will start falling apart," he said.
Juncker issued a statement with 17 proposals, including an undertaking that no country will let migrants through to an adjoining state without first getting their neighbor's agreement.
A key element of the plan will be speeding up information exchanges between countries to coordinate efforts, especially on border controls, so as to avoid migrants inundating their neighbors as a result.
We're Drowning
"Today we need a dialogue and talks among Balkan leaders to avoid unnecessary possible misunderstandings and tensions in the whole region," European Council President Donald Tusk said as the talks opened.
Turkey, the starting point for most of the migrants, was absent from the meeting but was on leaders' minds, with officials viewing its help as crucial in stemming the influx to Europe.
Ankara has demanded €3 billion a year and visa-free travel for Turks in return for its cooperation.
The meeting took place amid a clear split in the EU over how to best handle the crisis.
Some see it mainly as a border security problem, while others believe it is a humanitarian challenge requiring the bloc to show solidarity and redistribute refugees among them all.
Germany, which expects up to a million migrants this year, saw 4,000 arrive on Saturday in Passau on the border with Austria.
"Today, we're drowning," the area's police spokesman Frank Koller told the DPA news agency.

I purchased some stencils from a local cake supply shop. The owner said that she purchased them from a company at the ICES convention in Orlando. The brand of the stencil is, "Designer Stencils". I will be using them this weekend on a baby shower cake. Do you have any tips on using stencils. I'll be using R.I. on fondant.
I have not used that perticular type of stencils but have use plastic ones from craft stores a lot. Be sure you get the stencil straigh; fixed on tight so it stays in place. Use a small spatula to smooth the icing on with, keep it thin, then carefully lift it straight up & away.
Only smooth the icing on it one direction. Not too thick but not too skimpy either. Practice on the side of a bowl or can or even on your counter top first.

God's sovereignty over nations and kingdoms is the natural expectation and judgement of those who believe in God, for God, according to Scripture, is not only the God of heaven but also the God of history. It follows from this belief that nothing can happen on earth, past, present or future without God's assent or sanction. That is perhaps a hard thing to accept but if we believe that God is really God, Maker of heaven and earth, sovereign ruler of kingdoms and nations, there is no alternative intellectual or moral position.
What does Scripture say? In Psalm 2, God laughs at all the nations on earth who take their stand against him, who put their trust in alliances and compacts, in their images of so called gods; and who may, in fact, put their trust in weapons of war, atheism, materialism or science.
Psalm 2, is further recounted by the Christians in Jerusalem after Peter and John were released by the Sanhedrin.[i] They spoke in unison that God is the sovereign Lord who made heaven and earth.[ii] They quote from Psalm 2, 'Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against his anointed One'[iii] They then boldly assert that 'Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus[iv], whom you anointed. They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen.'
This is the philosophy and faith of the Christian. Could there have been any greater inversion of their expectations when Jesus was crucified; the Jesus who went about performing miracle after miracle and declared the kingdom of heaven is at hand? The crucifixion was the contradiction of all their hopes and dreams. He was arrested, tried, condemned and crucified on a Roman cross. Why were they able to believe that this was God's foreordained plan? Why was he crucified?
You will recall how incensed Peter was when Jesus foretold his sufferings. He could not understand such a tragic event. But Jesus rebuked him and said, 'Get behind me, Satan! For you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.'[v]
There is a divine will and a human will, a divine reasoning and a human reasoning. Peter's mind was set on Jesus being the king of Israel, a king that would rule over his kingdom with even greater power and sovereignty than King David. It is a mistake to fall into the trap of thinking like this, of setting up a kingdom that is measured by human values and pride. God does not measure things in that way. Peter wanted a king like the Israelites wanted a king to rule over them.[vi] The reason for Israel's quest for a king was they wanted to be like other nations around them. They wanted to imitate other nations. Nothing could be more ungodly and unfaithful than wanting to turn away from God to copy the practices of other nations. Peter's opposition to Jesus was based on a similar quest for the Christ king to be king of Israel like other kings were rulers of their nations. He was concerned with the supremacy of Israel. After the resurrection of Jesus, they questioned him, 'Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom of Israel?' Their minds were still on Israel. It is not often realized how xenophobic the disciples were even after the death and resurrection of their Lord. They had still not grasped the meaning of the kingdom of heaven, what it was, where it was and when it was to be realized. Its credentials were not based on a Napoleon war to conquer Rome, Russia or Britain. Its authority and credentials were from heaven. The kingdom of Israel was not and could never be the kingdom of heaven. It was a legitimate geographical and God chosen nation but one that had only itself to blame for its subjugation to other nations. They were a privileged nation, a nation of the covenant, a nation loved dearly by God, a nation chosen to bear the glorious message of salvation. Jesus wept over Jerusalem. 'O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,' he said, 'thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not![vii]
Israel was and is a temporal kingdom. Its origins are different than any other. But whether Israel or any kingdom or nation that is a dictatorship or a monarchy or a republic, or any form whatsoever, without first being God fearing and God loving is opposed to God and already judged by God. Any nation in the world that thrives on spiritual wickedness, immorality, atheism and Godlessness will be judged by God. 'For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.'[viii] But 'Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.'[ix] Even the temporal kingdoms of the world are watched over by God. But all temporal kingdoms pass away. If they have not done so already they will, in time, cease to exist. Not so the kingdom of heaven. Why? The prophet Daniel tells us. 'And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.'[x]
The true nation, the holy nation, is righteous from within. It has a spiritual ethos and purpose. The sovereignty of God is the ground of all that it does. Jesus announced this nation or kingdom at the outset of his ministry. 'Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.'[xi] It was coming; [xii] it was there and then arriving; it was within and among them.[xiii]
St. Peter later defined this kingdom. Writing to Christians scattered all over the world, he said, 'But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.'[xiv] The kingdom of heaven is holy, catholic and spiritual.
Jesus told many parables of the kingdom of heaven. He pictured it, for instance, as a mustard seed, which whilst one of the smallest seeds grows into a great tree where even the wild birds nest in its branches.[xv] Again he saw it as a pearl of greatest price that a man might give all he has to have it.[xvi] He said the kingdom of heaven is like fishermen who made a big catch of fish. They sat down on the beach and separated the good from the bad, keeping the good and throwing the bad away. At the end of the world the angels will come down and sever the wicked from the just.[xvii]
Unlike other nations and kingdoms citizenship is not conferred upon it by being born in a tradition. The birthright has nothing to do with a place, a ceremony or a naturalization process. The birthright of the kingdom of heaven is being born of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said quite plainly, 'You must be born again.[xviii]
Spiritual birth, not intellectual knowledge or theology, is the one ground of belonging to Christ and his kingdom. We are his children if the Spirit of Christ dwells in us. As St. Paul said, 'But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.'[xix]
Peter also spoke of the Spirit of Christ by which even the prophets foreknew his sufferings: 'Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.'[xx]
Paul also testifies, 'The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.'[xxi] And did not Jesus also speak of the Holy Spirit in many places? Did he not say of those who believe, 'He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)[xxii]
It was the command of Jesus to his disciples, to wait in Jerusalem until the Holy Spirit came upon them. 'And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.[xxiii]
There are two kingdoms on earth, the temporal or passing kingdom and the permanent kingdom. We all belong to the first by being born into it. We acquire citizenship automatically because we belong to the country in which we are born. Our country may not, of course, be a kingdom but a republic or a military junta. These are all passing authorities. History teaches us that no human authority or sovereignty lasts. The bible teaches us that the only kingdom that lasts is the kingdom of heaven. It is the kingdom that transcends earth, life and death, and will last forever. Why did Jesus begin his preaching with the words, 'Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand'?[xxiv] It was because there is a future kingdom and world that is so unlike this one that one glimpse into it would turn your heart away from earth to heaven. Jesus is that glimpse revealing the love and character of God and showing by his own life what God is really like.

A friend mentioned cross stitch, and a week later, I had completed my first project! Wow! I'm not sure why it captivated me so much – there have been plenty of other crafts which started out with a lot of excitement, only to fizzle away a few days or weeks later.
I think being able to start right away was the key to success. The initial investment was very affordable and accessible – I bought the pattern on Etsy, and picked up all the supplies at my local Joann's the same day. If I had to wait a few days for items to arrive in the mail, I might have gotten distracted with another project, and never gotten around to the cross stitch.
Details: Christmas Ornaments by Satsuma Street on Etsy. Worked as written using 28 count Evenweave and DMC cotton embroidery floss (with a few minor color substitutions because Joann's didn't have the exact colors specified).
I used to do a little counted cross stitch when I was a little girl, but the variety and beauty of patterns and supplies available here in the U.S. doesn't compare to what I had growing up, and allows for amazing, inspirational works of art. It should have been obvious to me, but I don't think I noticed it until my friend mentioned it and linked to Satsuma Street. And now, I'm hooked!

Elizabeth Figueroa Artist Statement PHOSPHORMORPHOSIS What do I ask of a painting? I ask it to astonish, disturb, seduce, convince. (Lucian Freud) Native resident of Corpus Christi,TX University of Texas, Pan American. MFA Degree My artwork has developed from childhood memories to current adulthood experiences about the curiosities of how light can change the form of many things. In researching & experimenting with the mixture of acrylic & oil paint hues to accommodate the phosphorescent paint, I created a technique which I titled Phosphormorphosis. Phosphormorphosis is to change the form of a two-dimensional image or three-dimensional surface by manipulating the hue of wet or dry media and adding...

Throughout the Silver Age of Marvel comics, which ended around 1970, comic book readers were blessed for the most part with cover art which was free from distracting captions or word balloons. Mainstay artists like John Romita and Jack Kirby were gifted with the ability to sell a comic based on the drama they could impart to its cover art alone. As a result, this period of Marvel comics produced a library of outstanding and memorable covers, which have made their respective books still in demand today.
When Kirby left Marvel in 1970, Marvel's cover art became less bold and dramatic, and began to be more representational of the pages and action within the books. There were exceptions, of course--but on the whole, while Marvel still relied on its covers to sell the books, there was much more "selling" added to them.
During this time, there were two noticeable debates going on in comics fandom: (1) the constant use of exclamation points in character dialogue, even for the most routine sentences, and (2) the seeming proliferation of word balloons appearing on the covers. You see, we comic book readers are a funny breed. We know we're reading comic books--but we're not reading Archie comics. There's less prejudice in that differentiation than you might think. I read a few Archie comics back in the day, and enjoyed every one of them; but comics with super beings in them involved more serious issues than anything Archie and his one-dimensional gang would have dealt with. The former was passing the time--but the latter involved reading. And it kicked the enjoyment factor of comic books up a considerable notch.
So when word balloons began appearing, it felt like Marvel was dumbing down these books and stories we'd invested a great deal of time and interest in. (And this was before "dumbing down" even became a catch phrase.) With characters on the covers now mouthing selling hooks like "I can't do it--I CAN'T!" or "You're all going to DIE!", comics were on the verge of becoming "kid stuff," a phrase we thought we'd left behind with Betty and Veronica. We knew, of course, that inside the cover we'd find the same stories we'd been reading all along--but aside from a business standpoint, we really couldn't grasp the necessity of cluttering up a cover with unnecessary exclamations. If the cover artwork was lousy, we probably wouldn't even care; but there's a reason when you hear the words "cover art" that there's a special meaning to the phrase. In terms of comic books, it seals the deal for you, the reader. It not only frames the story for you, right from the start--it also serves to show you, at a glance, at what point in this series you're at.
And it's also some damn beautiful artwork--where the artist puts their best foot forward in regard to their work for that issue.
Here's a good example of what I mean by word balloons being unnecessary, either to heighten the mood or to sell the book. Take a look at this cover of Fantastic Four, side-by-side with its cover sans balloons:
Thanks to artists John Verpoorten and John Romita, I'm pretty sure you can grasp the situation here without a play-by-play from the characters. The caption even helps you, with "The Monster Stalks the Streets!" Dangerous super-being, who seems to have the FF on the ropes. (Though at this point in the FF's career, Sue was always looking helpless and at a loss no matter what the threat.) Of course, in the story, mankind wasn't doomed at all--just New Yorkers within a certain radius of blocks. My point is that what the FF characters say on this cover really does nothing to add to the tension and drama already evident in the artwork.
Here, try another, just because I like playing with images:
Look at all of the clutter in the first cover. I'm guessing "To DIE in the Negative Zone!" is pretty much all we need to know, don't you? We see three of the FF (with a helpless and at-a-loss Sue staying behind, of course) heading into that zone to face that winged guy, whose threat level isn't heightened with the addition of his vague words. And what in hell do the Thing's words add to our expectations? "How do we get within clobberin' range?" Don't they look like they're about to get in range? Though I suppose I could have left in the caption which gives this villain's name--I just took it out because I think "The Living Death Who Walks!" stacks the deck in terms of his villain cred. Besides, think how vulnerable it makes him in a fight, if he has to say all of that: "Fools! I am Annihilus--Annihilus, the Living Death Wh..." *POW*
Word balloons aren't so much a factor in comics anymore, though they didn't go gently into the night. They were with us through most of the Bronze Age of comics (until about the mid-80s). I'm not sure why Marvel feels no need for them nowadays, though I'm certainly not complaining. Comics today are smaller in size than they were during the Silver Age, which leaves less room to fit everything in--and that would possibly mean placing the word balloons over significant artwork, rather than slightly off to its side. Whatever the reason(s), I'm very pleased for the artist--who I hope takes as much pleasure and satisfaction from creating cover art of the story inside as I do from the moment I see it on the store shelf.
