This two-word question is the most important question in New Testament studies. It is not an overstatement to say that without a correct answer to this question little can be understood of Christianity. The whole doctrine of ecclesiology, God's creation of the Church, the body of Christ, rests in the balance of this question. In terms of Biblical revelation, it ranks in importance with God's call of Abraham and the giving of the Mosaic Law.
The vast majority of Christendom view Paul simply as an extension of the Twelve. Some have gone so far as to say that Peter and the other apostles were wrong to choose Matthias to replace Judas–they should have waited for Paul to fill the vacancy left by Judas. They view Paul as the legitimate 12th apostle. The problem with a view is that the Biblical record does not support it.
Jesus' Earthly Ministry and the Twelve
The Lord Jesus Christ came to present Himself as the Messiah-King to Israel. The Scriptures reveal detailed information about the events surrounding His birth and these provide the meaning of His ministry. The angel declared to Mary:
30The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God. 31And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. 32He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; 33and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end" (Luke 1.30-33).
The angel's announcement fulfilled what the prophets had foretold for hundreds of years. The Jews longed for a righteous king to deliver them from the heel of Gentile domination and to give them a kingdom. This king and kingdom would fulfill Moses' prophecy and God's promise that Israel would be "the head and not the tail" (Deuteronomy 28.13). Mary responded to this glorious news in what is called the Magnificat:
46 And Mary said: "My soul exalts the Lord,
47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
48 "For He has had regard for the humble state of His bondslave; For behold, from this time on all generations will count me blessed.
49 "For the Mighty One has done great things for me; And holy is His name.
50 "And His mercy is upon generation after generation toward those who fear Him.
51 "He has done mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who were proud in the thoughts of their heart.
52 "He has brought down rulers from their thrones, and has exalted those who were humble.
53 "He has filled the hungry with good things; and sent away the rich empty-handed.
54 "He has given help to Israel His servant, in remembrance of His mercy,
55 As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and his descendants forever" (Luke 1.46-55).
Everything in Mary's exaltation recalled the covenant promises God had made with the nation of Israel since God had called Abraham. Zechariah, the father of John the Baptizer, made a similar declaration following the birth of his son:
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying:
68 "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He has visited us and accomplished redemption for His people,
69 And has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David His servant—
70 As He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from of old—
71 Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us;
72 To show mercy toward our fathers, and to remember His holy covenant,
73 The oath which He swore to Abraham our father,
74 To grant us that we, being rescued from the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear,
75 In holiness and righteousness before Him all our days.
76 "And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; For you will go on before the Lord to prepare His ways;
77 To give to His people the knowledge of salvation by the forgiveness of their sins,
78 Because of the tender mercy of our God, with which the Sunrise from on high will visit us,
79 To shine upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace" (Luke 1.67-79).
The emphasis of these declarations was upon God's covenant and prophetic promises to national ISRAEL. The long anticipated KING and KINGDOM were finally at hand. This was understood fully by the prophet John the Baptist in his message to the nation. Matthew recorded:
1 Now in those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying, 2 "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 3.1-2).
The Lord Himself proclaimed this message:
12 Now when Jesus heard that John had been taken into custody, He withdrew into Galilee; 13 and leaving Nazareth, He came and settled in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali. 14 This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: 15 "The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles— 16 "The people who were sitting in darkness saw a great Light, And those who were sitting in the land and shadow of death, Upon them a Light dawned." 17 From that time Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 4.12-17).
One thing worth notice in these passages is that little is mentioned in reference to salvation from sin. At first blush, this may be surprising. But upon reflection, it is not. While hundreds of passages in the Old Testament declared God's establishment of His kingdom for Israel only one passage spoke of how He would deal with sin–and it was not understood. This was Isaiah 53:
4 Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed. 6 All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him (Isaiah 53.4-6).
. . .
12 Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great, and He will divide the booty with the strong; Because He poured out Himself to death, and was numbered with the transgressors; Yet He Himself bore the sin of many, and interceded for the transgressors (Isaiah 53.12).
The focus of Jesus' ministry was the nation of Israel (Romans 15.8). He commanded His disciples not to go to Gentiles (Matthew 10.5-7). He Himself had no dealings with them except for His encounter with the Canaanite woman (Matthew 15.21-28; Mark 7.24-30) and the Roman centurion (Matthew 8.5-13; Luke 7.1-10).1
God's Prophetic Plan
A reasonable question to raise is why Jesus did not minister to Gentiles and ordered His disciples to avoid them. For 2,000 years God dealt with the human race as a whole. However, in 2,000 B.C., following the Flood and the Tower of Babel, God began a new plan. God created a new race of people through whom He determined to reveal Himself: the Jews. God initiated this plan with His call of Abram. Abraham became the progenitor of the Jewish people and God established covenants with the new race. The first and foundational covenant was the Abrahamic Covenant. In this covenant, God promised Abram (Abraham) a land, that he would become a great nation, and blessings. Through this new people (the Jews) God declared "all the families of the earth will be blessed" (Genesis 12.3 cf. Genesis 15).
As time progressed, God gave Israel more covenant promises communicated through His prophets. God's prophetic plan to Israel was simple in concept. What they understood was the following: 1) the Messiah would come, 2) the Messiah would suffer, 3) God would pour His wrath upon the earth and judge the nations, 4) the Messiah would reign as King in a kingdom. God's kingdom would be worldwide but centered in Jerusalem, ruled by the Messiah. God would fulfill all His promises to Israel during this kingdom period. Israel would be preeminent among the nations of the world (Deuteronomy 28.1, 13) and Gentile nations would look to Israel for guidance and be blessed through them (Isaiah 2.2, 42.1, 6, 49.6, 60.3, 61.6, 62.2; Zechariah 8.22-23). Psalm 2 provided the earliest and most succinct summary of God's prophetic plan for Israel.2
A major point of note is that God had NO revealed plan to bless Gentiles apart from Israel's acceptance of their Messiah and the establishment of His kingdom. Also, God revealed nothing of a Church in which Jew and Gentile would be equal.
The 12th Apostle
The Eleven apostles recognized the horrific disaster the nation had perpetrated with the crucifixion of Jesus. They recognized He was the Messiah, the Son of God (Matthew 16.16). Miraculously, however, He had arisen from the dead. Hope for the nation remained–if they would repent. If they did, the Messiah would return and establish His kingdom. This was the message Peter preached in his sermons in Acts 2-3.
Foremost in the minds of the Eleven was the kingdom (Acts 1.6). The Lord had promised the Twelve that they would rule the twelve tribes of Israel (Matthew 19.28). Replacement of the 12th apostle (as a result of Judas' treachery and subsequent suicide) was therefore critical. If the kingdom was to come, the nation must have 12 apostles. Luke recorded the selection process:
21 Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us— 22 beginning with the baptism of John until the day that He was taken up from us—one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection." 23 So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas (who was also called Justus), and Matthias. 24 And they prayed and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two You have chosen 25 to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place." 26 And they drew lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles (Acts 1.21-26).
We read that "all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers" (Acts 1.14). The selection criteria were that candidates had to be men who had accompanied them all the time during the Lord's ministry beginning with the baptism of John until His ascension and be a witness to His resurrection. Did Saul of Tarsus meet these qualifications? Hardly. Notice they prayed and asked the Lord to make the choice. The matter of casting lots was well established in Israel's history with the Urim and Thummim (1 Samuel 28.6) and in other instances to determine God's will (cf. Leviticus 16.8; Joshua 18.6, 8, 10; 1 Chronicles 24.31; Proverbs 16.33). Therefore, the apostles were correct in doing what they did. They prayed about their decision and left the results to God.3 This resulted in the choice of Matthias as the legitimate successor to Judas.
Peter's Sermons
On the day of Pentecost, following the advent of the Holy Spirit, which the Lord Jesus had instructed them to await (Acts 1.5, 8), Peter preached his first sermon. Whom did Peter address? He addressed Jews only (Acts 2.14, 22, 29, 36, 39). Peter laid the blame for the Messiah's crucifixion squarely on them (Acts 2.23, 36) and demanded they repent from their sin (Acts 2.38). Peter preached the crucifixion–not as good news but as bad news–something that required Israel's repentance. Furthermore, for the prophesied kingdom to come, every single Jew had to repent. Peter made this point quite clear: "let all the house of Israel know" (Acts 2.36) and "Repent and every one of you be baptized . . ." (Acts 2.38).
Peter's second sermon reiterated the above message. He declared,
17 "And now, brethren, I know that you acted in ignorance, just as your rulers did also. 18 But the things which God announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that His Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled. 19 Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; 20 and that He may send Jesus, the Christ appointed for you, 21 whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time (Acts 3.17-21).
In commanding the nation to repent, Peter made it clear that if they did, God would establish His kingdom, i.e., "the times of refreshing" and the "restoration of all things." Peter appealed to the nation on the basis of the prophets and the covenants, especially reminding them of the Abrahamic covenant, "and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed" (Acts 3.25). Again, Peter knew but one plan–God's prophetic plan for Israel. And in this plan, the ONLY basis for Gentile blessing was through Israel. The nation MUST repent for the kingdom to come and for the covenants to be fulfilled.
National Failure
We know from Acts that the nation refused to repent. Most regard Acts as the record of the birth of the Church. But that is to miss Luke's purpose. Luke's primary purpose was not to record the birth of the Church but to document the failure of national Israel. Acts is a bridge from the kingdom program revealed in the Old Testament and Gospels to Paul. Acts began with great promise for Israel. They had crucified their Messiah. But He had risen from the dead. Hope was revived! If the nation repented, God would establish His kingdom and fulfill his covenants. The advent of the Holy Spirit was God's evidence of this possibility. But Acts ends in great disappointment. Luke recorded:
23 When they had set a day for Paul, they came to him at his lodging in large numbers; and he was explaining to them by solemnly testifying about the kingdom of God and trying to persuade them concerning Jesus, from both the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening. 24 Some were being persuaded by the things spoken, but others would not believe. 25 And when they did not agree with one another, they began leaving after Paul had spoken one parting word, "The Holy Spirit rightly spoke through Isaiah the prophet to your fathers, 26 saying, 'Go to this people and say, "You will keep on hearing, but will not understand; and you will keep on seeing, but will not perceive; 27 For the heart of this people has become dull, and with their ears they scarcely hear, and they have closed their eyes; Otherwise they might see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart and return, and I would heal them."' 28 Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will also listen" (Acts 28.23-28).
Paul's statement to the Jews in Rome was the third time he had warned them about turning from them to the Gentiles (Acts 13.46, 18.6; cf. Romans 1.16-17). This is the last time we hear such language from him. After this, he made no further overtures to national Israel.
The Lord had revealed to Paul that the Jews would not listen to him. But Paul had such a love for his people that he desperately wished to convince them Jesus was the Messiah (Romans 9.1-5). After all, he had been the leader of the opposition! Surely, if he had reversed his course, they could. But the nation's fate had been sealed in Acts 7 at the trial of Stephen. No real chance for national repentance existed after the Sanhedrin murdered Stephen. Paul addressed the Jews:
17 "It happened when I returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, that I fell into a trance, 18 and I saw Him saying to me, 'Make haste, and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about Me.' 19 And I said, 'Lord, they themselves understand that in one synagogue after another I used to imprison and beat those who believed in You. 20 And when the blood of Your witness Stephen was being shed, I also was standing by approving, and watching out for the coats of those who were slaying him.' 21 And He said to me, 'Go! For I will send you far away to the Gentiles'" (Acts 22.17-21).
God and Saul of Tarsus
Jesus had chosen twelve apostles in His earthly ministry. Why did He need another? As stated above, this question is the most important question of New Testament studies. If one understands the answer to this question the Bible will make sense. Without an understanding of this, the Bible is contradictory and confusing.
As we have seen, God had NO revealed plan to bless Gentiles apart from Israel. But blessing Gentiles was a key component of God's prophetic plan which He initiated with Abraham (cf. Isaiah 42.1, 49.6, 60.1-3; Zechariah 8.22-23). How could Gentiles be blessed if the Jews refused to repent and accept their Messiah? How could the Great Commission of Matthew 28.16-20, given by the Lord Jesus Christ, be fulfilled apart from Israel? The answer is–it could not.
Israel was prophesied to be God's agent to bless Gentiles. When it became clear the Jewish nation would not repent (Acts 7), God did something completely unexpected. He saved Saul of Tarsus. As a result, Saul (Paul) assumed the role as the agent of blessing Gentiles in lieu of national Israel (1 Corinthians 15.8). The Lord chose the Twelve during His ministry on earth. He chose Saul from heaven. As such, Paul was an apostle of an entirely different order than the Twelve. The Lord commissioned Paul to minister to Gentiles entirely apart from Israel and the ministry of the Twelve (Acts 9.15, 22.21; Romans 11.13; Ephesians 3.1).
God's salvation of Saul of Tarsus is the single most important event of the book of Acts. God the Holy Spirit gave us more information about this event than any other. We have three accounts of it: Acts 9.1-19, 22.1-21, 26.1-23. God repeats for a reason: we are to take notice–it is important. When God chose Paul He created a whole new plan–something He had not done for 2,000 years. Through Paul, Gentiles would be blessed apart from national Israel. This was not possible under the covenanted, prophetic program God had begun with Abraham. Paul explained national Israel's present status in Romans 9-11. Paul wrote:
25 For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; 26 and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, "The Deliverer will come from Zion, He will remove ungodliness from Jacob." 27 "This is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins." 28 From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God's choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers; 29 for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. 30 For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience, 31 so these also now have been disobedient, that because of the mercy shown to you they also may now be shown mercy. 32 For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all (Acts 11.25-32).
Paul declared Israel's hardening or blindness was a secret (μυστήριον) God had kept hidden. God had revealed nothing in the Old Testament about Israel rejecting her Messiah with the result that He would make a new creation (the Church, the body of Christ) in which Jew and Gentile were equal. The idea of Jew and Gentile being equal was totally and completely alien to Jewish thinking. While Israel was to be the agent of blessing to Gentiles nothing in the Old Testament, nothing in the Gospels, nothing spoken by Peter or any other of the Twelve indicated equality. That truth was revealed only by Paul.
Paul revealed a "partial" hardening had happened to Israel until the "fullness of the Gentiles" was complete. That "fullness" is the completion of the Church, the body of Christ. After this, God will again deal with national Israel. The result will be "all Israel will be saved." The observant student should recall Peter's words to the nation in his sermons. How many had to repent? All of them. The entire nation. It did not happen. But it will. Every single Jew living on earth (at the end of the Tribulation) will repent and recognize Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of God. In the passage above, Paul reminded the Jews that God would fulfill His promise to remove their ungodliness and take away their sins. God is sovereign and keeps His promises. Paul expressed this truth by declaring that the "gifts and calling of God are irrevocable." While that generation of Jews contemporary with Jesus failed, a future generation will not. When they say, "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord" (Matthew 23.37-39 cf. Zechariah 12.10) the Lord will return and be their Savior.
Paul's Special Mission
God commissioned Paul as "the apostle of the Gentiles" (Romans 11.13). As we have seen, the Twelve never had a ministry to Gentiles. Following the Council of Jerusalem, Paul and the Twelve formalized an agreement that they would go to the Jew and Paul would go to the Gentiles (Galatians 2.7-9). Time and again Paul declared his divine authority as the Apostle to the Gentiles to preach the "gospel of the grace of God" (Acts 20.24). Let the reader consider these verses: Acts 9.15, 13.46-47, 14.27, 15.3, 12, 18.6, 21.19, 22.21, 26.16-18; Romans 1.13, 11.13, 15.16; Galatians 2.2, 7-8; Ephesians 3.1, 8; 1 Timothy 2.7; 2 Timothy 1.10-11, 4.17. Did any of the other apostles every say anything like this? Never.
The outcome of the Council of Jerusalem in 51 A.D. is greatly revealing. The reason it was required was to decide the issue of whether Gentiles could be saved apart from circumcision and the keeping of the Mosaic Law (Acts 15.1, 5). The members of the Council were going behind Paul and teaching his converts that they were not really saved by believing Paul's gospel: that Christ died for them and arose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15.1-4). They taught that to be saved one must become circumcised and keep the Mosaic Law. Paul argued that according to the gospel he had received from the risen Lord one was saved by believing his gospel (1 Corinthians 15.1-4) and nothing else, that is, by faith alone. On several occasions Paul called this gospel his gospel (Romans 2.16, 16.25; Galatians 2.2; 2 Timothy 2.8). He called it this because it was. The Twelve knew nothing of it until Paul revealed it to them. This is clear from the account in Acts 15. The gospel the Twelve and those who came out of the Jerusalem church preached required keeping the Mosaic Law. They knew nothing of salvation by faith alone. This may be shocking but is what the text says. After much argument, Peter, (who had lost much of his authority to James), finally spoke and recounted how he had gone to the Roman centurion Cornelius' house by divine revelation. He recalled that Cornelius and his family, Gentiles, had been saved apart from circumcision and Law-keeping. In conclusion, Peter made a startling declaration. Luke recorded:
7 After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, "Brethren, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the gospel and believe. 8 And God, who knows the heart, testified to them giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He also did to us; 9 and He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith. 10 Now therefore why do you put God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? 11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are" (Acts 15.7-11).
Most people do not know these verses are in their Bibles. Peter had declared, "But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are." Do you grasp Peter's words? He was saying, "Paul is right; we are wrong." But more than this, he declared that the gospel they (the Twelve) had been preaching was over. It was Paul's gospel from then on. Imagine! What a change! According to the gospel of the kingdom, salvation required faith and works. Now, Peter declared Jews had to be saved like Gentiles–according to Paul's gospel. This was almost incomprehensible for a Jew. Jews had to be saved like Gentiles? Gentiles didn't had to be save like Jews? Revolutionary! This explains why Paul wrote what he did to the Galatians following the Jerusalem Council (circa 55-57 A.D):
6 I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; 7 which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! 9 As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed! (Galatians 1.6-9).
These are strong words. Paul could not have written such words prior to the Council of Jerusalem. His statement declared that the gospel the Twelve preached was over. Now there was but one gospel–HIS gospel (Romans 2.16; 16.25; Galatians 1.11-12, 2.2, 7; 2 Timothy 2.8; Titus 1.3). Paul declared if anyone preached a different gospel than his, he was accursed. In plain language, Paul meant they were doomed to hell.
Jesus commissioned twelve perfectly good apostles. Why did He need a thirteenth? While most of Christendom believes Paul was merely an extension of the Twelve, the Scriptures reveal a different story. Paul's contact with the Twelve was extremely limited (Galatians 1.1, 11-12, 15-19). If he was merely an extension, logically, the first thing God would have done was send him to the Twelve for instruction. But God sent him to the desert. The Scriptures provide a vast amount of evidence that Paul was an apostle of a different order who taught doctrines unknown by the Twelve. Paul called these doctrines "secrets" (μυστήριον).
God's program with Israel reached an impasse with their refusal to repent and accept Jesus as the Messiah. This became evident in Acts 7, with the Sanhedrin's stoning of Stephen. God had two choices: 1) to pour out His wrath (the Day of the Lord) which was part of the Old Testament prophetic program or 2) something else. He chose door number 2. That "something else" was the salvation of Paul and the establishment of the age of grace.
When God commissioned Paul as "the apostle to the Gentiles" He gave him the "gospel of the grace of God" (Acts 20.24). God revealed doctrines to Paul that He had given no one else. Paul referred to these revelations as "secrets."4 As a result, Paul is our apostle, the apostle of the Church, the body of Christ. The Twelve knew nothing of the Church, the body of Christ, in which Jew and Gentile are equal in Christ. Why? Because God did not reveal it to them. What they came to learn about the Church, they learned from Paul, who received it from the risen, glorified Lord. You can read your whole Bible and find no mention of the body of Christ by anyone but Paul. Even at the end of his life, Peter found Paul's doctrines difficult to grasp (2 Peter 3.14-16). God commanded us to follow Paul not Peter, not James, not John, etc. (1 Corinthians 4.6, 11.1; Philippians 3.7; 1 Thessalonians 1.6; 2 Thessalonians 3.7, 9). Paul is our apostle, the apostle of the Gentiles. To grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, in this age of grace, it is essential to understand that Paul's apostleship to Gentiles was unique, that he is our apostle, and that it is he who reveals God's doctrines for us.
1 Luke's account revealed Jesus did not have direct contact with the centurion but spoke with Jewish proxies from the centurion.

San Francisco is not known for warm temperatures, so when it hit 85 it got me thinking about everyone's summer race schedule.
The heat is upon us (some worse than others) and we are about to enter the month of June in a couple weeks. Graduations are taking place, summer school is around the corner and the baseball season is catching it's stride. All those things point to summer, so here is my tentative summer schedule:
So there is it, what is on tap for you:
Taking on the heat one mile at a time?
Or focusing on training for a fall race?

Burlap Gift Wrap for Mother's Day
I love wrapping gifts in a unique fashion, whether it's a treat from the kitchen or a birthday gift, I enjoy making it special. There are tons a great idea's on Pinterest that I gather inspiration from. You can find some ideas here on my board if you'd like.
But before you head over to Pinterest, today I'm sharing a picture frame I wrapped a couple of weeks ago for my parents 30th wedding anniversary gift.
Since burlap is one of my favorite textured fabric (and I had it on hand), I thought it would be great to wrap a gift with it. To add an elegant element to the gift, satin was my ribbon of choice and adorned it with a white silk flower.
Since Mother's Day is right around the corner, I hope this inspires you to wrap a gift in a fun way. Enjoy.
What you need
- Burlap (Any color will work. The amount you will need depends on the size of your gift)
- Hot glue gun and glue
- Tissue paper
- Tape
- Fabric Scissors
- Satin ribbon (ribbon of choice)
- Embellishing flower (If you want to make one here is a tutorial here and here. I purchased this one from Pier 1)
- 15 minutes
- Gather supplies
- Wrap gift in tissue paper. Since the burlap is slightly transparent and you might see the gift, therefore, I wrapped my gift in tissue paper first. This step is optional.
- Wrap gift in burlap. Use pea size drops of hot glue to keep fabric together.
- Wrap ribbon around gift in your own fashion. Fix together with a pea size drop of hot glue. Double sided tape might work well on satin ribbon as an option also.
- Slip the flower underneath ribbon or fix flower ribbon with small amount of hot glue.
And there you go! A beautifully wrapped gift for Mother's Day or any special occasion.

Hostess Gift – Homemade Donuts and Milk
Having dinner parties at my friends houses it a ton of joy for me. I love chatting and enjoying yummy food. My third favorite thing about going to friends houses for dinner is I get the opportunity to make them a little treat.
Since seeing homemade donuts on Pinterest and around the web, I've been wanting to make them for some time. And after finding this inspiration Saturday, I knew the perfect hostess gift was donuts and milk!
I scoured my craft closet to see if I had any thing like what the tutorial had, but I all I had on hand were some baskets. So I went to the kitchen to see what I had: large mason jars – perfect! Then it was back to the craft closet for a few staples: dish cloth, cellophane, tape and embellished flower.
After making homemade donuts…
I gathered my supplies all in one place…
Mason Jar with milk
Dish cloth (from Target)
Embellished Flower (Quick and easy to make!)
Donuts wrapped in cellophane and ribbon
and assembled the hostess gift for our friends.
It was a simple gift idea that I just loved creating for them! I can't wait for the next party that way I can come up with another treat!

Peppermint Bark Gift Set
After starting our advent devotional, one of the activities was to make peppermint bark. It was fun letting my little guy crush the candy canes with a plastic toy hammer. It also was a great time to learn about the candy cane and some of the history behind it. I loved doing with my family so much that I thought it would be a great gift idea for others to do with their family. So today I wanted to share with you my peppermint bark gift set with you all! Enjoy!
- 3/4 cup white chocolate
- 3/4 cup milk chocolate
- 3 candy canes
- 6 cupcake liners (paper or silicone)
- ribbon
- peppermint bark recipe
- history of the candy cane
- metal tin or small decorative holiday box
- Print the history of the candy cane.
- Print the recipe for peppermint bark.
- Place 3/4 cup of white chocolate into a sandwich bag or celephane bag and tie with ribbon. Repeat with milk chocolate chips.
- Arrange all the items inside the tin or box in a fashion that you'd like.
- Add ribbon and any embleshments to the outside of the tin.
I'd love for you to share, what are your favorite food gifts you've received for the Christmas season?

Christmas Series ~ Gift Wrapped Cookbook
Hi friends! How are you all doing today? I'm very excited to share with you all today a gift idea for the holidays. I came up with this gift idea for my sister-in-law back in October for her wedding but it can easily be transformed into a Christmas present. Let me show you!
As I mentioned I got this little gift for my sister-in-law because she enjoys cooking and she loves everything about horses. So when I set out to find the perfect little gift for her, I instantly thought of Ree Drummond's cookbook The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl.
This cookbook not only has fabulous down home comfy cozy recipes, it also has beautiful pictures of ranch life, Ree's beautiful family and of course the yummy food she cooks for her sweet family! What also amazes me about Ree is that she took all the pictures for her cookbook too! I think that is impressive. Her labor of love is shown on each page of this great cookbook! I think it's a fabulous Christmas gift too, if I say so myself! (I'd really like to add this to my collection! Hint, hint to my hubby! Who will more then likely be reading this post.)
Anyways, I didn't mean to get off topic, but I love this little cookbook. Now back to the featured program. Do you want to learn how to gift wrap a cookbook with soft tea towels. Great! Let me show you!
Here's what you need:
- A cookbook (Here's some of my favorites!)
- At least one tea towel (I used three to give it a layered look, but you can easily do it with one.)
- Ribbon
- Tape
- Small kitchen item (A set of measuring spoons or a small spatula are a couple of examples.)
Now that you've got all your supplies, lets get started.
First, take one towel and lay it on the table. Place cookbook in the center and then wrap the towel around the cookbook. Secure with scotch tape.
Next, take the second towel and fold it in thirds vertically. Wrap the towel around the the cookbook and secure with tape. You should be able to see the first towel on the side.
Take the third towel, fold it in half and then in half once more. Wrap it around the book horizontally and secure with tape. You should now see all three towels.
Lastly, tie coordinating ribbon around the cookbook and add the finishing touches with a small kitchen item.
Thats it, super easy right?!
Okay, so it's the Christmas season, we are all on a budget, so lets talk money, here's the breakdown:
- The Cookbook I purchased on Amazon for $16
- Towels (and ribbon) on Cleareance at Target for $4.99. The towels were wrapped with the ribbon. Score!
- Measuring spoons from World Market for 2.99
Total gift: 23.98 +tax
Another way to decrease the cost is to buy used cookbooks instead of brand new or find small kitchen items and kitchen towels at a dollar store. I find some great items, even brand name items there sometimes! The added benefit to wrapping gifts in towels is it makes them a very useful item. I don't remember the last time I used wrapping paper for cleaning up spilt milk. If you are looking for a gift idea that is affordable, creative and fun, I encourage you to try this out this year!
What are some ways you've used tea towels to wrap gifts? I'd love for you to share.

Fall Flower Bouquet
Hi friends! I hope your week has been a great one. Today I have a fun and fresh tutorial for you all. I hope you enjoy it!
In September, my friend Lisa Marie brought me a beautiful fall bouquet of sunflowers wrapped in a green wax tissue paper. It was so elegant and I thought to myself, "I've got to try something similar." This year I've dabbled with making my own flower arrangements for my home and last week I decided to make make a little flower arrangement for a gift. You don't have to be a florist to make this bouquet. All you have to know is how to use a pair of scissors, fold a piece of fabric and tie a ribbon. It is really that easy!
Here is what you need
- A store bought bouquet of flowers (or fresh flowers from your garden to decrease your out of pocket expense)
- 20 in by 20 in piece of burlap
- Ribbon
- Scissors
- Bow or flower embellishment
My cost for this project:
Using fabric scissors, cut a 20 by 20 inch piece of burlap. I used burlap because I love it's rustic texture, I had it on hand and it's a sturdy fabric to use for this bouquet.
Place flowers in the center of burlap diagonally. (I ended up bringing the flowers down a little bit more then what is pictured here.) Then trim the stems to line up with the end of the burlap.
Starting from one side, fold burlap under to create a roll effect and repeat on the opposite side.
Tie with ribbon.
Add a bow or fabric flower to the bouquet. Instead of ribbon like the tutorial uses, I cut scrap fabric into 1.5 inches by 4 inches to create my flower. I hot glued a scrapbook embellishment for the center of the flower. Then added an alligator clip to the back to attach the flower easily to the ribbon.
All done. A simple store bought flower arrangements can be transformed into a little creation with just a few craft items.
Have you received a flower arrangement before that you just loved? Do you remember how it was made? I challenge you to recreate one of your favorite flower arrangements, decorate your home with it or give it as a gift.
Have a fabulous weekend my friends!

Newspaper Gift Bag
A couple weeks ago, I wanted to make my husband a little treat for his day at work. He works very hard for our son and I, it was a joy to make this little treat for him.
The first time I tried making the bag, it did take me a good 30 minutes to finish it. Immediately after I made the first one, I tried it again and it took 10 minutes.
It is similar to trying a recipe for the first time. It takes longer the first time because you don't know the ingredients and directions, but the second time around, "It's second nature."
I would definitely make this bag again!
Make this for a friend who is leaving on a trip or as a gift bag for a birthday present!
I'd suggest using light weight items in this specific size bag. I put a Starbucks coffee in the bag and it was too heavy for the handles. Although, I did use thin ribbon. It might have been stronger had I used thicker ribbon and eyelets. But for light items, it would work well without eyelets.
What you need:
- 1 sheet of newspaper
- 3 to 4 light weight snacks (Preferably your friend or spouses favorites. I did a protein bar, trail mix, a gatorade powder packet and a Starbucks drink. Aim to use items you already have in your house to save money!)
- Ribbon
- Eyelets
- A glue stick
- Card stock
- Follow this step-by-step tutorial (She does a great job explaining it, there is no need to re-invent the wheel.)
- Write a sweet note to your friend or family member
More then likely you have all these items in your house already, making it cost very little. I hope you give it a try! I'm confident your friend or family member will love it!
Would you try making this gift bag? What special treats would you fill your bag with?

Seven years ago, when I first started the life-changing experience that is Model UN, my twelve-year old self knew deep in her heart what she wanted to commit her life to: international relations. Fast-forward seven years, and I am not only pursuing my dream major, I also have the honor of representing both my University and the United Nations Association of the Dominican Republic in the real United Nations. To say that my MUN career was not responsible for all this would be a lie, since it was through these life-changing experiences that I am starting to make a change in the world through the United Nations. Below, I would like to share some advice so that you can all turn your committee experiences into actions that will have real, positive impacts in your community and beyond.
Always be respectful towards everyone. Just because it is a Model UN conference and you are not with your parents does it mean you should forget common precepts of decency. Furthermore, no matter where you go in life, solidarity and empathy are two traits that will help you and everyone else make the world a little better. We humans are social beings, thriving in the strong relationships we cultivate with others and the possible rapport we build when we help others in need.
Do your homework! If there is one thing I should thank MUN for, it is cultivating genuine interest in research and the world around me. If it wasn't for this amazing tool, I would not have been exposed early on to controversial and relevant topics such as the Rwandan Genocide and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. Reading up on a topic beyond the Wikipedia page will not only enrich your in-conference experience, but it will also help you realize why our society needs well-informed individuals who can craft solutions to the most complex issues it faces today.
Take some time to read the news. Although this can be somewhat tied into the previously mentioned point, it is definitely worth mentioning. The stakeholders in a given problem or even the reasons of the conflict themselves can change in the blink of an eye, and it is embarrassing when you confidently speak about a problem's outdated trends. On that note, it is also advisable that you read news from as many sources as possible in order to gain different perspectives and form your own, well-rounded conclusions. Personally, I prefer Reuters, BBC and the The Independent, since I notice quite a few other news channels citing them in their reports. Regardless, you should also branch out and follow those you enjoy the most.
Learn to look beyond the awards. As a former member of the competitive Model UN circuit, I once knew what it felt to not win an award when I thought I deserved it; little did I know how nearsighted I was back then. Looking back at the seven years that have passed since I first became a MUNer, there are two things that come to mind whenever I think of a conference: the people I met, and how much I learned. To this day, quite a few of my close friends and international relations professionals I regularly interact with are people I met at a conference. Furthermore, the knowledge I acquired from extensive research has helped me be more involved in my collegiate classes and offer insightful inputs whenever talking to seasoned professionals in the area.
Ask thoughtful and insightful questions during speaker events. At the conferences I had the privilege of attending in middle and high school, there were always interesting panels before and after working sessions and in-committee experts. I remember one of my best Model UN experiences was when I participated as the United States in the UN Committee On Narcotics and Drugs (UNODC). Our in-committee expert was an actual DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) agent who worked with drug smuggling and dealing in the Dominican Republic and other Latin American countries. Although my research helped me deal with such a controversial position, there were some doubts I had regarding specificities of how far the DEA's jurisdiction could go in dealing with problems outside of the U.S. Because of this, I proceeded with my question, citing some reports and news occurrences I had read beforehand. The agent was quite pleased with my inquiry and provided the answers I needed for several delegations to stop making outlandish remarks about my country and for my bloc to write what ended up being the committee's most comprehensive and up-voted resolution.
Attend a school that caters to your interests. A wise person once said that it is not always about what you know but who know that will help you get far in life. Year after year, extraordinary talent and fiery passion are wasted because young adults do not know someone in their respective fields. In addition, these determined individuals attend schools which, although are great, do not necessarily cater to their field of interest. What I basically want to say is this: attend a school with good value, but also attend one that helps you excel in your field. To this day, I am grateful and really happy that I am attending the university I chose, for I believe its course offerings and internship office are helping me become a respectable person in the world of International Relations.
Make the most out of career development opportunities. This is also a point which caught my attention when applying to universities: how much better of a professional I could become. My university offers workshops and hosts speakers on a near-weekly basis, providing students with the tools to become seasoned professionals while still in college. I cannot begin to express how much the resume, interview, and even LinkedIn workshops have helped me gain more exposure with diplomats and foreign policy experts. The speaker events helped give me a first-person perspective of quite a few internships or jobs I may be interested in and will make the whole job and internship hunt seem less daunting.
If you have any questions whatsoever, do not hesitate to reach out to me at email@example.com! College has taught me that if you dream it, you can make it happen, and only you are the greatest obstacle standing in the way of achieving your greatest aspirations.

Why is this a function? Domain (-2,-1,1/2,3) Range (2)
- print Print
- list Cite
A function is a relation between two sets of numbers such that every value in the set corresponding to the input, which is called the domain, has only one value in the set corresponding to the output, which is called the range.
In the function given in the problem all values in the domain {-2, -1, 1/2, 3} have one value in the range {2}. This is a constant function for the given values and can be written as: f(x) = 2.
One of the main characteristics of a function is that a value of y cannot have more than one corresponding value of x. According to the function given to you, this condition is met, as no numbers are repeated within the domain. A shortcut to finding out if you've got a function on your hands is to check for any repeated numbers in the domain. If you don't have any, then you're good, it's a function. If you do, then it's not.

This article is originally from the Tritech Computer Solutions page called Office 2007 Install Cannot Update Protected Windows Files.
Recently, while trying to optimize an installation of XP for imaging purposes, we chose to be very aggressive in file deletion, and the first test machine failed to install Office 2007 with this nasty error: "The Windows Installer service cannot update one or more protected Windows files."
In the Event Viewer "System" log, we saw this MsiInstaller error 11933: "Product: Microsoft Software Update for Web Folders (English) 12 — Error 1933. The Windows Installer service cannot update one or more protected Windows files. SFP Error: 21. List of protected files: c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\40\bin\fp4autl.dll"
We deleted that folder's contents because we saw no point in keeping FrontPage extensions that no one even uses, but Office insists on having them there. So because the solution will not be very obvious to many people slamming into this same issue, and help on the Internet is a bit spotty for this particular error, we'll let you in on how to fix it.
If you haven't already installed 7-zip on your computer, get it now. It rocks, it's free, very fast, and compact. Run the 7-zip file manager from Start > Programs > 7-Zip > 7-Zip File Manager, and go to Tools > Options > System and hit [Select All] and then [OK]. This will associate all of the archive types 7-Zip supports with the 7-Zip File Manager. Close it and follow the rest of the directions.
You'll need access to a Windows XP CD for this one. The file you're looking for is called FP40EXT.CAB and is in the I386 folder on the CD. If you can't find it on the CD or don't have access to a CD, use the built-in search functions in Windows XP to look for that file on your hard drive. Once you've found the file, double-click on it and it should open in 7-Zip. Find the file "fp4autl.dll" in the list, click on it, and click the [Extract] button on the 7-Zip program toolbar.
You will be prompted for a folder to extract to, usually defaulting to your user account's temporary files folder (which is NOT where we want it!) Hit [backspace] to clear the box, and copy and paste (control-v or right-click and "paste) this into the blank instead:
c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\40\bin\
Hit [OK].
Office 2007 will now install without hitting this error. If it doesn't, try going to the Event Viewer (shortcut: Start > Run > eventvwr.msc) and looking through the System long for an event similar to the above. That will at least tell you what file you're trying to get, and using your Google-Fu should take care of the rest.

Pandamonium as people flock to see adorable sculptures at Publika
Crowds of people are flocking to see all 1,600 pandas as they are on display at Publika shopping mall, Solaris Dutamas, Kuala Lumpur from Jan 13 until 25, 2015.
The papier-mâché pandas created by French sculptor Paulo Grangeon are on a world campaign to promote panda conservation and sustainable development.
The people are happy to see so many cute, adorable and cuddly pandas in various poses in one place. Many could not resist taking pictures with the pandas.
A young gentleman felt good about it being a very special happy occasion. He went down on one knee to make a marriage proposal to his girlfriend in front of the pandas and she accepted to the delight of the cheering and clapping crowd, and the pandas seemed like they were happy and smiling too.
The 1600 pandas are a symbolic representation of the number of pandas left living in the wild.
The 1600 Pandas World Tour is now on its last leg of its Malaysia tour that began at Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur on Dec 21 last year and had exhibited at various locations in the country, including at Putrajaya, Batu Caves, Taiping Lake Garden, Penang Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, Teluk Intan Leaning Clock Tower, Malacca Stadthuys and National Monument, Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysia is Asia's third stop. The tour had taken through exhibitions to various countries including France, Holland, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
So if you miss it this final weekend at Publika, chances are the 1,600 pandas may never come back to this region again so soon.

I first wanted to become a photographer to provide myself with a creative outlet and to share my prospective with the world. As I developed my techniques and traveled around, I wanted to capture the endless beauty of this planet in hopes to inspire people to get out there and see what this world has to offer. Photography helps me to realize the importance of living in the present moment, slowing down and capturing the beauty that is all around us.
Why did you choose this particular shot to be your favorite photograph?
– I chose this photograph because it was during this time I learned how hard some people in this world have to work on a daily basis. This is a photo of a woman in northern Vietnam, who walks 12km from her rural home in Sapa into town everyday to sell the vegetables she grows on her land. This is her daily ritual, and despite weather and health conditions, she will continue to do this everyday to provide for her family.

1. Up in the Air Fabric for the quilt and crib bumper (and possibly curtains)
2. I really love this print from The Wheatfield Etsy Shop
3. I already ordered some of these cool wall book shelves like the ones seen here on Daffodil Design, I can't wait to get them hung up!
4. Mary actually ordered these Birds of Flight from Gradinroad to go behind the crib and I love them!
5. We got this South Shore Changing Table from Amazon and R assembled it a few days ago. I specifically wanted one with removable knobs so we could get cute knobs from Anthropologie or World Market.
6. Beautiful nursery inspiration from Belle Maison. I'd love to do a gallery wall above the changing table.
So that is how the room looks now (left). The walls were already painted gray when we moved in which is perfect. Oddly, this is the only room in the house (other than the attic) with carpet. It's a neutral gray and nice and comfy, so good for crawling around! To the right are the watercolor prints I got a few years ago. I'm going to paint the frames white to match the crib and changing table.
I am still looking for the right rocking chair. I'll probably end up with a Craigslist find and get a chair pad for it.
It's been really fun putting it all together, I can't wait to see how it all turns out (and share here of course). Have a great week!

One of the most expensive aspects of an IT setup for any office is the workstations. These computers are the end user devices for the employees and the people who make a business productive. In a traditional IT model these devices have to communicate with central printers and scanners as well as a server. In a cloud IT model there is no server to connect these devices. So what is the difference in expense for workstations after the server is gone?
The first expense is the purchase and setup of the device. Most computers that act as workstations with an in-house server range in price from $1,500-$3,000 depending on the exact specifications. After the initial CAPEX the setup time is longer because connecting the computer to the server and configuring it is time consuming which means billable hours. After the initial setup comes the maintenance.
When a workstation is connected to a server there are issues that arise from a security standpoint such as updates and malware or virus protection. If a server is located in the office the end user workstations can cause problems if a virus or unintended update is installed and it conflicts with or harms the server. Because this threat to the server exists the automatic updates on the workstations are turned off. While this seems like a nonevent the truth is the inability for the computer to run updates means your IT company will have to run them manually which means billable hours. In addition to the updates the software that is located on the local machines cannot install patches directly from the manufacturer rather the patches must be installed manually which again means billable hours for the IT company.
The distribution chain for software has switched from retail stores with disks to direct download or software as a services (SaaS) distributed from the software manufacturer's servers. This shift in the distribution channel is great for consumers and manufacturers because it cuts out the middlemen in the distribution pipeline. However, if your workstations are connected to a server the direct updates and distribution will be blocked for security purposes. Your business will be left fighting against the current with the manufacturers and the IT company will continue to bill hours.
In a cloud environment the workstation is simply a portal to the internet used to access the cloud. Because there is no server the cost of the workstation drops to between $500 and $1,200 and the setup is not specialized because the computer only has to access the cloud locations where your data is stored. The maintenance is drastically reduced because there are fewer pieces that can break and the updates can be set to automatic because the workstations cannot affect the cloud servers which translates into fewer billable hours by your IT company. All in all the reduction in expense for workstations in a cloud environment versus a traditional IT environment is one of the greatest values the cloud can offer.

Khloe Kardashian Is Helping Kevin Get the Girl of His Dreams on Revenge Body: ''She's the Only Girl I've Ever Loved''
Erin Heatheron is one of the most gorgeous women on the planet, but even she has struggled with body image issues.
The model, who has appeared on the Victoria's Secret runway, took to Instagram to post a sexy photo of herself, wearing nothing but underwear and a tank top that has "empowered by failure" written on it. In her lengthy caption, Heatherton addressed her own failures and explained how they've all helped her to come to a better and stronger place.
"The breakdown to breakthrough moment in my life has allowed me to become the truest version of myself. In my moment of 'failure,' I stood in the face of adversity. I was struggling with my body image and the pressures to fulfill the demands of perfectionism upon me. I am not perfect. Through this struggle, however, I found the strength to love myself. I stood in my power," she began her caption.
Heatherton, 27, went on to quote Abraham Lincoln, whose wise words have given her strength to get through the tough times.
"I look back on that moment now, and I embrace it. This feeling I once perceived as 'failure' was, in truth, a powerful awakening for me to stand behind my purpose in life," she continued. "I stepped away from hiding behind a fabricated version of myself. I no longer put actions behind my fears and insecurities. I made a choice to redirect my energy to be a catalyst for change."
She didn't explain what she meant by "catalyst for change," only teasing fans by writing, "Stay tuned for more..." Perhaps she's launching a new initiative or project—only time will tell. Heatherton wrapped up her point with a bold comment.
"In the end, if you aren't being true to yourself, then what the f--k is the point. #rebelwacause #empowerment #womensempowerment#empoweredbyyou"
Couldn't have said it better ourselves.


text: Light & Dark Roast Coffee – What's the difference? Coffee Resource Differences Between Light and Dark Roast Coffee You're at your local coffee shop waiting in line and trying to decide what to order for the day. It's going to be an epic day full with meetings and a never-ending to-do list. Extra bold is a MUST today. You should pick the darkest roast they have to get the most caffeine right? Well, as it turns out, light roast coffee has slightly more caffeine than that "bold" dark roast. It's a common misconception. As it turns out, there are a few other interesting differences between the 2 roast types. 3 key differences between light and dark roast coffee #1. The Flavor Profiles Coffee is very unique in that every step of the production process can significantly impact the flavor of the final product. Farming & Processing – Things like the altitude, soil composition, growing conditions and processing method all significantly impact the quality, depth, and flavor profile of the bean. Roasting – Once processed and shipped to a roaster, the green coffee beans are then roasted at around 356°F – 440°F depending on the roast type desired. Usually the roaster will roast the coffee at various level from light to dark to see which roast type brings out the best overall flavor of the coffee. Generally, the highest quality coffees are roasted in the light to medium range. This brings out the nuanced flavors of fruits, berries, acidity and jams. This is not to say that all dark roast coffees are low quality. Some coffee roasts well as a medium or medium dark roast, bringing out full-bodied chocolate and nutty flavors. Brewing – Brewing methods, as well as a host of other factors during the brewing process, can significantly alter the flavor of your coffee. For instance, using a grind size that it too small can make your coffee taste bitter. #2. The Level Of Caffeine One of the most common myths about light and dark roast coffee is that dark roast coffee has more caffeine than light. While the difference in caffeine levels between the 2 roast types is small, light roast coffee actually has more. Oils and other natural chemicals such as caffeine are released during the roasted process. Therefore, the longer the roasting process and the darker the roast, the less caffeine you'll get in final cup. #3. The Evolution Of The Coffee Community One of the key differences between light and dark roast coffee is the trend of preference within the coffee community. Coffee roasters are now procuring single-origin or even single-farm coffee beans and roasting them as a medium or lighter. This captures the distinctive flavors of the region and doesn't muddle those nuanced flavors by blending coffee grown under different conditions or processed different ways.

Mariah Anne Johnson
I took the redline all the way to the Silver Spring station—the first time I have ever made my way up that far on public transport. Mariah's studio was in the art building at Montgomery College, where she was the Spring 2012 artist-in-residence. As I walked through the building, the exhibition of current student's work caught my eye.
I finally made my way into Mariah's studio and was immediately impressed by the amount of natural light and paintings covering the walls. Mariah is known primarily for her fabric installations and is actively showing in the area and has also shown in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago — to name just a few. Because of this, I wasn't expecting to see so many paintings, so I was very excited.
Mariah invited me in, offered me some water, and began to walk me through her studio and her practice. She is from Arkansas and speaks with a hint of a Southern accent. She not only is funny, but is full of insightful comments about her own practice and thoughts on the DC art world, and art making in general. We began to discuss the paintings that cover her walls. She is interested in memory and space. Her relationship to color can't be missed and her compositional layouts situate themselves somewhere in between gestural and abstraction. She keeps the viewers interest by depicting a discontinuity yet familiar visual space that we can mentally enter.
The longer I spent in her studio the more curious I became about Mariah's source material and continual narrative. It is obvious that the paintings are linked to her attraction to the fabric installations, through color, design and texture. But it became clearer to me there is an apparent conceptual overlap in content.
The fabrics she uses in the installations are previously used (she collects primarily from Goodwill and other second hand stores) coming to her with a known yet broken narrative. The sheets have obviously been slept on, but she does not know whom the previous owner was. The curtains have hung a specific space, but she again does not know what or where. Similarly, the source material for her painting is broken in the sense that she is painting space only from memory. In one piece we discussed at length, she is depicting a room in a house that she no longer has access to. She does not have a picture of the space and the only image she can access is the image in her mind. Because of that, the perspective is skewed, patterns overlap and there is a seeming hazy filter to the image. The narrative is known but the pieces do not fit together perfectly. It is an interesting play.
The visit continues for a couple of hours. Mariah and I talk about the state of the DC art world, addressing the need for collaborative work between artists. She talked about Porch Projects and her interest in providing space for artists to exhibit. My main take away from the visit was not only the hope of future collaborations, but the idea Mariah kept coming back to, which drives her studio practice. That is, artists just need to make things. Do not get caught up in the details or why or what, but just keep making. At the end of the day if you want to paint, then paint. If you want to build, then build. Find a way to maintain a studio practice no matter what, and the rest will sort itself out. All in all, Mariah Johnson is down to earth and inspiring to talk with—she definitely imbues a charm of southern hospitality.

I first heard Mariah speak thoughtfully about art in general at the Artists Council meeting at WPA back in February. It is equally compelling to read Victoria's comments and to hear Mariah comment firsthand about her work and practice here in The Studio Visit.
You need an information facility to give those online services for you. Co-location is the leasing of bodily safety, constant electric power and a fast, reliable web connection for a server that you possess. The data center is not responsible for any one of the equipment or software program maintenance of a co-located server, you are. This can be a more affordable option to dedicated hosting if you have the necessary competence and time to run a web server on your own.
Mariah seems not to have aged a day since the 1990's. Good voice too. Earthy –Bobby

You remember my post about the Vintage Shed in Tyabb on the Mornington Peninsula? Vintage heaven? Well, I have found another one in the suburbs of Melbourne (thanks to you Bianca)... An enormous warehouse filled with amazing treasures.
A perfect place for spending a cold Sunday afternoon.
Trust me. I bought a lovely golden frame for our bedroom. With all the other things on my wish-list I was not so lucky this time. Unfortunately most of those things cannot be found that easily... Patience is what I need.
If you follow me on Instagram (@lefabuleuxdestin), you already know that I had my first sewing lesson on Saturday. My lovely colleague (who used to make dresses to fit and had her own clothing line) offered to teach me basic sewing. I am over the moon! So happy and thankful! She is a wonderful teacher, I had such a great time. My first project is a felt cushion cover and I am looking forward to finish it next week. Now I desperately want my own sewing machine... Checking on ebay and gumtree as I write... Cross your fingers!
Have a wonderful week. *K

The seats in Volvo V70 models can come equipped with many features. For example, the front seats can be equipped with seat heat, power backrest and cushion. The seat switches are located on the side of the seat cushion controlling front seat movement via electronic motors.
The rear seats can have split folding cushions and backrests, along with a center armrest tunnel. The rear seat cushions can be removed quite easily. Then the folding bracket can be replaced if needed. The rear backrest folds down flat for transporting large items. Once folded, it can be removed in a few easy steps, along with the rear backrest side cushions.
Remember that your car may have been serviced before and had parts replaced with different size fasteners used in the replacement. The sizes of the nuts and bolts we give may be different from what you have so be prepared with different size sockets and wrenches.
Protect your eyes, hands and body from fluids, dust and debris while working on your vehicle. If you're working with the electrical system, disconnect the battery before beginning. Always catch fluids in appropriate containers and properly dispose of any fluid waste. Recycle parts, packaging and fluids when possible. Never work on your vehicle if you feel the task is beyond your ability.
Our vehicle may vary slightly from yours as models do change and evolve, as they grow older. If something seems different, let us know and share your info to help other users. Do you have questions or want to add to the article? Leave a comment below. When leaving a comment, please leave your vehicle information.
Front Seat: Start by moving your seat as far back as it will go. With the seat all the way back, remove the outer trim piece. Unclip the tab (red arrow) and slide it off toward the front of the vehicle (inset).
Front Seat: Next, remove the two 13mm mounting fasteners (red arrows) at the seat rails.
Front Seat: Once you remove the front seat rail fasteners, move the seat as far forward as it will go. Remove both plastic trim pieces (red arrows). The outer trim piece is removed by pulling it off toward the center console. The inner trim piece is removed by pulling it straight off toward the rear of the vehicle.
Front Seat: Next, remove the two 13mm mounting fasteners (red arrows) at the seat rails.
Front Seat: Tilt the seat backward. Then disconnect the battery negative cable. See our tech article on battery replacing. Start by detaching the main harness from the seat (red arrow). Pull it straight off.
Front Seat: There are a total of four electrical connectors to disconnect on base V70 models. Start at the outer connectors (red arrows). Pull the connectors straight out. Then disconnect the middle one (green arrow). Press the release tab and pull the connector straight out.
Front Seat: Now you have to disconnect the SRS connector. Release the locking clip (red arrow). Then pull the connector apart.
Front Seat: Now you can remove the seat from the vehicle. Cover the door entrance strip with a towel or floor mat (red arrow) to protect it from damage. Next, remove the T45 Torx seat belt fastener (green arrow). Then remove the seat from the vehicle. To install reverse the removal steps. To replace the seat belt buckle, remove the T45 Torx fastener (yellow arrow). Then remove the buckle and detach the wiring harness clips from the seat cushion base.
Rear Seat: Start at the left side seat cushion. In front of the cushion is a small fabric pull. Pull this up to release the seat cushion latch. Fold the seat cushion forward.
Rear Seat: With the seat cushion folded forward, press the release levers to unlock the seat cushion bracket (red arrow).
Rear Seat: Remove the seat cushion from the vehicle.
Rear Seat: To remove the rear backrest, start by removing the side cushion. Pull it out toward the front (red arrow) then up to remove it. Then, remove the 13mm seat belt fastener (green arrow).
Rear Seat: Working at the side of the seat, locate the locking clip (red arrow). Using a flathead screwdriver, lever the locking clip up until it stops (inset).
Rear Seat: Next, the seat back has to be levered up. In theory it should be easy to pull it straight up, but with the wedge style mount it is in quite tight. I use a large rubber wheel chock (green arrow) (you can substitute this with a block of wood) placed on the seat cushion area. Then place a block of wood under the seat back (red arrow) and lever the seat upward using a pry bar. This part can be hard. It does take some force to release the seat back. Be careful not to slip and hurt yourself or the vehicle.
Rear Seat: Once detached, the mounting wedge will move up and away from the body (green arrow). When installing, align the wedge and pivot with the slot in the body. Then tap the wedge back down using a pry bar and a hammer.
Rear Seat: Angle the seat back toward the door and remove it by pulling it straight off the pivot (inset). Reverse these steps to install the seats.

Hey…HEY! It's us, your hard-working kidneys and yeah, we know it's been a while since we talked…like in forever, but we thought it was time to give you some advice about what types of food to eat in order to keep us filtering out the trash you put into our body (it ain't just your body, you know).
It's not easy processing 50 gallons of blood (yes, 50!) and filtering out 2 quarts of waste and extra water on a daily basis…we then send that waste to your bladder on its way to the great beyond. As your body's filtration system, we also help regulate the levels of sodium, phosphorus and potassium levels in your blood, so yeah, we're fairly important internal organs that are often forgotten about…hence this little chat.
Yeah, we're forgotten about until we begin to malfunction. Yes, diabetes and high blood pressure can cause us serious problems, but many times our renal functions are compromised in a silent and slow process that eventually leads to chronic kidney disease which, often times, can be prevented by eating a balanced and healthy diet. Ooops, almost forgot an important fact…chronic kidney disease can't be cured once it's taken hold. You can only hope to prolong our "lives" as long as possible through treatment and diet. Yeah, we suppose, God forbid, a kidney transplant is an option, but we'd both like to stay right where we're at, thank you very much.
So where were we? …Oh yeah, kidney friendly foods out there that can prevent and/or treat kidney disease. It's all about self-preservation you know. These foods generally contain moderate levels of protein and potassium, low levels of sodium, cholesterol, and fat and high levels of vitamins, antioxidants and anti-inflammatories…yes, you guessed correctly, mostly fresh fruits and vegetables…you don't need a PhD in nutrition to figure this stuff out!
- Red Bell Peppers – chock full 'o vitamins A, C, and B6 and the antioxidant lycopene with low levels of potassium…heart healthy too.
- Garlic – contains anti-inflammatories and antioxidant qualities…just remember to follow it up with a mint…just sayin'.
- Onions – wait, garlic AND onions…keep your distance. Low in potassium, full of flavonoids, the antioxidant quercetin and chromium…cry us a river as you peel, but get us some onions!
- Apples – keep the doc away by eating these spheres of goodness that contain fiber, anti-inflammatories and which help reduce cholesterol.
- Through 9. Berries – Think cran, blue, ras, and straw…most contain a ton of vitamin C, manganese, antioxidants, fiber and cranberries help prevent urinary tract infections.
10. Cherries – are not the pits, they just contain them as well as phytochemicals which help
reduce inflammation and antioxidants.
11. Egg Whites – OK, so get an egg separator already, but put in the work to get the amino acids and moderate amount of protein without the cholesterol and phosphorous
present in the yolks.
12. Fish – another good source of protein along with omega 3 fatty acids and fish is known
to reduce LDL levels (the bad cholesterol) and raise HDL levels.
13. Kale – has become so popular that it's now used as a name. It's also contains our good
friends vitamin A and C, as well as iron and anti-inflammatories.
14. Olive Oil – think of Popeye's board-like love interest as you cook with this healthy oil
that contains oleic acid and polyphenols.
15. Mushrooms – funny, we remember overhearing numerous men claim they were often
treated like mushrooms by their significant other…kept in the dark and fed a lot of…
shall we say solid human waste product. Anyway, they're low in fat, calories, and
cholesterol and provide us with vitamin D, selenium and just the right amount of
So, to recap, just remember to eat some of these foods on a daily basis and we'll provide you with our valuable filtration services for years to come…nice talk.

Behind the Wheel for Auto Makers
McCurdy Steers Industry Through Fight Over Fuel-Economy Rules
Former Democratic Rep. Dave McCurdy has faced uphill battles before.
He ran for a Senate seat in 1994, at a time when voters were rejecting Democrats en masse, and he lost to a Republican. When he later took over the reins of a Washington-based business association, Republican lawmakers yanked legislation important to his group.
Today, Mr. McCurdy faces perhaps his stiffest test yet: heading the Alliance of Automobile...
