Washington's General Orders given at Cambridge, July 4, 1775
"The Continental Congress having now taken all the Troops of the several Colonies, which have been raised, or which may be hereafter raised, for the support and defence of the Liberties of America; into their Pay and Service: They are now the Troops of the United Provinces of North America; and it is hoped that all Distinctions of Colonies will be laid aside; so that one and the same spirit may animate the whole, and the only contest be, who shall render, on this great and trying occasion, the most essential Service to the great and common cause in which we are all engaged."
Cambridge Common was set aside as a common pasture and military drill ground in 1631, and has served as a center for religious, social and political activity ever since. George Washington took command of the Continental Army on the Common on July 3, 1775, beneath the Washington Elm, and it served as the army's encampment from 1775 to 1776. Today the ballfields and playgrounds are popular with families. In 1997, the first monument in the U.S. to the victims of the Irish Famine was unveiled on the Common.

A whistle stop visit to London and I found this sign. Thanks to Satguru's help!
Sadly the right turn, one way street sign that used to be under here has gone.
This unusual shopwindow display could be seen for quite some days in the otherwise colorful and buzzing centre of Leipzig. I like the eerie touch of the bare mannequins, staring blankly and relentlessly at the people passing by (and maybe at the fashion model photographs across the street reflected in the windopane). It is a rare sight in this age of plenty, reminiscent of the times before 1990 when shortage was omnipresent in Eastern Germany.

DENMARK ORDERS DEPORTATION OF WHALE DEFENDERS
5 Sea Shepherd Volunteers Were Deported From The Faroe Islands this Morning.
Rosie Kunneke (South Africa), Christophe Bondue (Belgium), Xavier Figarella (Corsica/France), Marianna Baldo (Italy), Kevin Schiltz (Luxembourg) were deported from the Faroe Islands at 0130 Hours today.
The 5 volunteers appealed the deportation request, but their appeal was rejected by Denmark.
Thet volunteers agreed to meet with police last night, they were arrested upon arrival.
The volunteers demanded to serve them time in a Faroese jail. That demand was denied.
The 5 were arrested on July 23 and later convicted for interfering in the slaughter of over 250 pilot whales on the killing beaches of Bøur and Tórshavn.
5 more Sea Shepherd volunteers were on Wednesday at the killing beach of Sandavágur where another 61 pilot whales were slaughtered.
The pod was reported to the whalers by a tourist flight on an Atlantic Airways helicopter. Under the new law tourists are obligated to report whale sightings to the whalers.
Here’s how it works in the Faroes.
A Danish Judge convicts five Sea Shepherd volunteers of the “crime” of attempting to save the lives of Pilot whales.
Denmark orders the payment of 200,000 kroner (about €30,000) in fines or imprisonment for 14 days.
Sea Shepherd and the five volunteers refuse to pay the fine and demand their right to serve their time.
As Rosie Kunneke said, “We demand to serve the time for our crimes of compassion.”
Denmark refuses to allow the five to serve the time and orders the five to be deported despite the fact that the sentences are being appealed.
The Danes refuse to answer the question of how can Denmark deport a European Union citizen if Denmark is a member of the European Union?
Will this be the way things go? Convictions followed by fines unpaid and jail sentences not served, followed by deportations. This could result in hundreds of deportations yet the opposition will continue with greater strength.
Denmark must be opposed in the courts, opposed economically, opposed politically and opposed morally.
What kind of human being in this day and age supports such a barbarically cruel activity?
The Faroese whalers and the Danes who support them are proud of the grindadrap (the murder of whales). But they should remember that Pride goeth before a fall as it says in the Bible. (Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.)
More volunteers will come, this year and next. The BOB BARKER left Bremen today bound for the Faroes.
If the whale killers attempt to kill another pod of defenseless whales, Sea Shepherd will continue to interfere undeterred by the Danish courts, the Danish Navy and the Danish government.
There can be no justification for this atrocity and compassionate people cannot morally back down in the face of such blatantly evil violence and such wantonly gross disrespect for life.
The killing of Pilot whales and their removal from a North Atlantic population, the numbers of which are unknown is ecologically irresponsible.
The grindadráp is the largest single slaughter of marine mammals in Europe. A total of 490 pilot whales have been slaughtered in five grindadráps, which have all taken place since June, this year alone.
Sea Shepherd has been leading opposition to the grindadráp since the 1980s. Operation Sleppid Grindini is the organization’s sixth pilot whale defense campaign in the Faroe Islands.

Blessings and Renewals
Sacred Chrism oils blessed, priestly vows renewed at Mass
By Andrew Junker | April 14, 2009 | The Catholic Sun
Priests, religious and laity from across the Phoenix Diocese packed Ss. Simon and Jude Cathedral April 6 for the annual Chrism Mass.
During the Mass, Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted blessed three sacred oils that are used when celebrating the sacraments of baptism, confirmation, holy orders and the anointing of the sick. The more than 100 priests in attendance renewed their priestly vows during the liturgy.
Susan Rittal drove down for the Mass from Bullhead City with 16 other members of St. Mary Margaret Parish. Fr. Peter Dobrowski, pastor of the parish, leads a group down to the Valley each year for the Mass.
“Living so far away, it’s wonderful to be able to come together and celebrate with the diocese,” Rittal said. “It really brings us unity.”
As the scores of deacons, priests, seminarians and two bishops processed down the nave of the cathedral, the large choir sang polyphonic sacred music, often accompanied by horn and string sections.
“We come together to thank God for His Son Jesus Christ, the high priest,” Bishop Olmsted said at the start of Mass. He gave thanks to all the laity, religious and diaconate in attendance, but reserved special gratitude for the priests in his diocese.
“I could not be more thankful to God for you,” the bishop told them of their generous service that often goes unrecognized.
Having the opportunity to recognize and thank priests for their service is important to many of the Mass’s attendees. It’s what keeps bringing Sr. Raphael Quinn, IBVM, back each year.
“It’s a highlight of Holy Week,” she said. “It just gives us the opportunity to support our priests in thanksgiving for the gift of the Eucharist.”
During his homily, the bishop kept repeating a phrase he had read in the newspaper about the economic crisis: terrible times, great leaders.
“Jesus tells us, ‘I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. So be as cunning as serpents and as innocent as doves,’” the bishop said. “Jesus sends us not only to serve the people of God, but to offer them a shepherd’s care.”
He encouraged the priests not only to walk with their parishioners, but also “before them, to protect them from harm.”
The bishop then enumerated all the modern challenges to Christian and specifically priestly life that call for great leaders.
These challenges included an often-pornographic culture that mocks virginity and celibacy, a society that aborts one-in-three unborn babies, a chief executive who allows taxpayer funds to finance embryonic stem cell research and overseas abortions, and a global financial meltdown leaving many unemployed.
But at every disheartening turn, Bishop Olmsted said, priests should look for opportunities to live out their calling more fully.
So, in the face of an economic downturn?
“Is it not time for us priests to rediscover the joy of poverty? We are blessed to be called to live in terrible times,” the bishop said, because the light of Christ will shine even more brightly in the darkness.
Rector of the cathedral Fr. Rob Clements described the annual Mass as a “little boost as you begin Holy Week.”
“The homily was meant to be encouraging to the priests. It’s the one opportunity for the bishop to express his solidarity and thank his closest collaborators,” Fr. Clements said.
Holy Chrism is used to anoint a priest’s hands during his ordination, which the rector said links the Chrism Mass to priestly ministry.
“It’s a renewal of priestly service,” he said of the Mass. “This week kind of captures in miniature what priesthood is all about.”

13th March, 1941,
Major Stockton went in to our barrack this morning and said: "Take your garbage, lads! Finally some orders. Jerrys are regrouping in a valley there, south-west of us. Colonel Wilson at headquaters told us to get ready for some attacks." I got damn glad that we are ready to fight, because I was getting more than a little mad.
I got really FP freaked out, so expect some more soon!

The Beauchamp Chapel is justly famous or it's architecture, monuments and the superb 15th century stained glass in i's east window, but perhaps my favourite element is the exquisite array of miraculously preserved medieval sculpture that surrounds the window and also runs down the two larger mullions.
The majority of the figues are angels, many in the act of worship, adoring the seated figure of the Lord which crowns the whole composition at the apex of the arch. The angels vary in costume and attributes and represent the 'Nine Orders of Angels', a popular theme in medieval art. Four larger figures of female saints (Barbara & Catherine on the left, Mary Magdalene and Margaret to the right) flank the lower part of the window.
Figure sculpture of his date so rarely survives, making it all the more incredible that so much of it has come down to us here, especially given that Cromwell's troops attacked the chapel's glass and the reredos immediately below this gorgeous display. Just an individual one of these sculptures would be the envy o any other parish church.
The sculpture would have been intended to extend the iconography represented in the glass of the window itself, and we are also lucky that much of this survives, though much is no longer in situ.
