365 Marvel Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…
December 31st - Cable
Nathan Summers is a powerful mutant telepath and telekinetic, who has been fighting in wars most of his life as the time-traveling heroic soldier called Cable.
The son of the X-Man Cyclops and Madelyne Pryor (a genetic clone of Jean Grey), Nathan's maternally-inherited powers manifested at a young age. The circumstances of his birth were machinated by Mr. Sinister to create a living weapon against Apocalypse.
During his infancy, Nathan was infected with the Techno-Organic Virus and sent into a post-apocalyptic future where the technology to save his life existed. Nathan grew up in this potential future, becoming known as Nathaniel Dayspring, the ‘Askani’son,’ who was prophesied to bring down the dread lord Apocalypse, the ruler of the realm. Throughout his ordeals, Nathan became a hardened warrior and brilliant tactician.
During his teen years, Nathan returned to his past so to reconnected with his parents and older sister Rachel on the budding mutant nation of Krakoa. Eventually, he returned to his adopted future to thwart Stryfe, his own radical terrorist clone. Ultimately both Stryfe and Apocalypse were destroyed, allowing Nathan to finally bringing peace to the time-line. As such, Nathan refrained to his original past to aide in the struggle of Mutantkind within his own timeline.
Herein he came to be called ‘Cable’ and created the Mutant task force known as The X-Force and later became a member of The X-Men, embarking on countless missions and adventure.
Now dedicated to the current time period, Cable sought to better the future of both mankind and Mutantkind, for he had seen the result of not doing so firsthand. Cable took it upon himself to protect and train the messianic first Mutant born after M-Day, adopting her as ‘Hope Summers.’
Eventually, Cable reached the point in time where he resided in as a teenager and joined his loved ones on Krakoa once again, taking his younger self's place as chief security officer of SWORD.
Actor Josh Brolin portrays a version of Cable in the Sony Films movies, Deadpool 2. The time-hopping Mutant hero first appeared in the pages of Uncanny X-Men Vol. 1 #201 (1985).

Breaking: Hallmark to Revamp Cable Channels
Story by Liv Lane • 46m
In a matter of weeks, two of Hallmark Media‘s three cable networks will undergo a significant makeover. At a winter preview presentation for the Television Critics Association (TCA) on February 6, 2024, Hallmark executives — joined by network stars including Luke Macfarlane and Alison Sweeney — announced that two of its channels, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries and Hallmark Drama, will be rebranded with new names and more clearly-defined programming, according to CableFax (CFX).
Here’s what you need to know:
During its presentation to the TCA on February 6, Hallmark executives are expected to announce that Hallmark Movies & Mysteries will mark its 20th anniversary by being renamed Hallmark Mysteries. The change will take effect on March 6, per CFX. Meanwhile, Hallmark Drama will become Hallmark Family starting on February 28
The goal, according to a statement from programming EVP Lisa Hamilton Daly, is to “ensure that viewing experiences across all networks and platforms are uniquely authentic.” That means Hallmark Mystery will exclusively air “fun, engaging mysteries” while Hallmark Family features “wholesome family stories,” she said.
A tweet sent during the event by Hallmark Drama’s account revealed the new logo for Hallmark Family and said viewers can expect to “continue to enjoy timeless storytelling for the whole family centered around faith, love, and community.”
https://twitter.com/HallmarkDrama/status/1754931909849973194
According to reporters in attendance at the TCA event in Los Angeles, including Meghan O’Keefe of Decider and Carly Lane-Perry of Collider, Hallmark kicked off its presentation with a panel of stars appearing in recent and upcoming mysteries:
Aimee Garcia and Paul Campbell of “The Cases of Mystery Lane,” which aired its first mystery in March 2023 and will return with a sequel in 2024, Lane-Perry tweeted.
Sweeney and Victor Webster, who have been filming the next “Hannah Swensen” mystery together, with Webster replacing Cameron Mathison in a mystery written and executive produced by Sweeney.
Macfarlane and Lyndie Greenwood from “Crimetime: Freefall,” set to premiere on February 23.
Ali Skovbye and Danny Griffin of “Gilded Newport Mysteries,” which premiered on February 2. O’Toole tweeted that Hallmark is waiting for full ratings results to decide whether to film a sequel.
Hallmark Movies & Mysteries has long featured reruns of classic mystery series, beginning with series like “Magnum P.I.,” per Variety, combined with its original mystery movies. O’Keefe tweeted that Daly told reporters that changing to the new name, Hallmark Mystery, does mean that are “looking into expanding into mystery television series.”
Since 2022, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries has also become the home of movies made under its faith-based Dayspring banner and its Mahogany brand, which focuses on telling the stories of African American women. It is not clear if those brands will stay put or move over to the new Hallmark Family.
After Canceling Some Popular Mystery Series, Hallmark is Beginning New Franchises
Hallmark Channel launched on cable TV in 2001, according to Variety, as a broadcast extension of Hallmark, the Kansas City greeting card company founded in 1910. Three years later, in January 2004, the company launched its sister network, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, to feature overflow movies from the primary channel and reruns of classic mystery TV series.
During the last 20 years, the channel has evolved to include original mystery franchises, primarily featuring popular crime-solving duos. But in recent years, fans — who affectionately call themselves “sleuthers” — have been up in arms about the network dropping several long-running franchises, like the canceled “Mystery 101” movies starring Kristoffer Polaha and Jill Wagner.
Over the past year, however, the network has experimented with new mysteries, including airing three successful “Curious Caterer” movies starring Nikki Deloach and Andrew Walker, and pairing Chabert with Will Kemp for their first “Dancing Detective” movie last June. Hallmark also just aired its first historical mystery, ”
In December 2023, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries’ achieved record-breaking ratings with its final Christmas movie of the year, “Miracle in Bethlehem, P.A.,” starring Benjamin Ayres and Laura Vandervoort. Both actors shared a Hallmark press release announcing that the film “broke ratings records for the network, becoming the #1 most-watched premiere of 2023” on the channel.
According to CFX, the re-branded Hallmark Mystery will likely still feature an annual lineup of original holiday movies, but they may have more mystery infused in them.

Candace Cameron Bure reveals the reason she quit Hallmark
Bure explained in a Sept. 21 interview with Variety why she decided to leave the Hallmark Channel after 14 years for American Media, a firm Abbott founded as president and CEO in 2021.
Bure revealed that it all came down to her contract, and she chose the best deal for herself. Bure made her Hallmark Channel debut in 2008 with the film “Moonlight & Mistletoe."
Bure featured in many more Christmas movies for the channel before retiring earlier this year. She will be "extremely thankful" for the experience, she adds, and she still has "the most rated movie in the history of the Hallmark Channel."
Although Bure announced her departure from the Hallmark Channel, she stated that she had no plans to stop her association with Dayspring, which is owned by Hallmark.
Bure stated in April that she was leaving the Hallmark Channel to create original programming for American Family, a channel owned by American Media that was formerly known as American Country.

O Come, O Come, Immanuel Isaiah 26:1-8 First Sunday of Advent, 2019
Lighting the first Advent candle Dan Lubbs, Isaac Hernandez
O come, thou Dayspring, come and cheer
our spirits by thine advent here.
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death’s dark shadow put to flight.
We light this first Advent candle as a sign of our persistent hope that Jesus the Messiah has come and will come again!
We rejoice—even as we wait and work—in anticipation of Godly things yet to be revealed.
Hope when there seems to be no hope
In 1977, the world was introduced to Star Wars, a film which brought us some of the most popular movie characters of all time: Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Darth Vader and others have captured people’s imaginations for 42 years now, and many are eagerly awaiting the release of Star Wars Episode IX where the storyline of the Skywalker family will be completed.
One of the strange things about Star Wars: A New Hope is its beginning; we are obviously picking up the story in the middle. The film begins with a little ship being fired upon by a bigger ship; then Darth Vader boards the little ship to search for the plans to the Death Star, while Princess Leia hurriedly hides those plans inside R2D2, before putting the droid and C3PO in an escape pod and launching them to the desert planet of Tatooine, where the droids almost immediately head off in separate directions and are soon captured by Jawas, to be sold to the local moisture farmers.
Star Wars is a great story, but it always felt like it was missing something. On December 16, 2016, that something was provided in the movie Rogue One. In the Star Wars universe, this movie is set in the days and then moments leading up to A New Hope. We’re introduced to a new set of characters and the necessary backstory: Galen Erso was one of the leading engineers in the design and construction of the Death Star, but his heart is with the rebellion. So he makes a choice: he works for the Empire but designs a flaw deep within the Death Star. He gets word of this flaw out to his long-lost daughter, Jyn, who leads a team to capture the plans to the Death Star.
You realize something very early on in Rogue One: none of these characters will make it out alive. On one level, that was an inevitable choice; as none of them were in the movies 40 years ago, their story lines had to end. The writers literally had no choice. But it also makes sense within the story itself. The Empire is so powerful, and the Rebellion so fragile, that the attempt to capture the Death Star plans really has no chance of succeeding; all the rebels have is hope. One of the most powerful quotes from the movie comes right before the final battle begins, when Jyn tells her team: “If we can make it to the ground, we’ll take the next chance. And the next, on and on until we win, or until the chances are spent.” They knew that the only thing they had on their side was hope, and so the band of rebels, against all odds, steal the plans to the Death Star, paying for that hope with their lives.
That investment makes this scene from Star Wars: A New Hope all that more significant.
youtube
Rogue One gives the context to understand this scene; it is one of the most hope-less points of the entire Star Wars story. The Empire has ruled ruthlessly for 20 years; several major battles were fought just days before to have a chance at destroying the Death Star. And here, the fate of the rebellion turns on a small red and white droid whose malfunction enabled R2D2 to go home with Luke Skywalker. Of course, we know the rest of the story: Luke and R2D2 find Obi-wan Kenobi, the Death Star is destroyed, and hope shined a bit brighter. But in this moment, there is as close to no reason to find hope as could be imagined.
The nerve of that preacher
All of that is to help us have a chance at grasping the significance of today’s Scripture: “On that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah:” (Isaiah 26:1a). Isaiah had some nerve with this message, standing up in front of a group of people and encouraging them to live by the expectations of another day, even while others are dictating the terms for how we are to live on this day.
Isaiah had nerve preaching this sermon because his congregation had eyes and ears and minds of their own. They had eyes to look out the windows of their homes and see that their world looked nothing like what God had promised their ancestors. They had ears to listen to the news when it came to them and hear the tidings of suffering and loss and separation. They had minds that could remember what it was like when Jerusalem was destroyed; memories of family members that were now either dead or separated from them in exile; memories to remember what they had been taught about being the people of God.
But here stands Isaiah, telling them about “that day;” asking them to hope for a day which they will never see, but to live their lives as if it’s coming anyway, a day when God will ultimately set things right, when the righteous will enter into God’s presence. And so Isaiah says for the people, “In the path of your judgments, O Lord, we wait for you” (Isaiah 26:8).
God’s people in this portion of the Old Testament know a lot about waiting. So much so, in fact, that Old Testament Hebrew has twelve different words that can be translated “wait,” with a whole host of nuance in their meaning. Some of these words simply mean to “wait,” with no other real context. It’s the kind waiting we do at the doctor’s office or the DMV. But other words—and especially the Hebrew word here in verse 8—refers to waiting that has a purpose. We are waiting, because something better is coming, or is at least possible. Maybe we’re waiting for a piece of news, maybe we’re waiting for someone’s arrival; maybe we’re waiting for an event. We may not be sure of will happen or if it will happen, but for Isaiah the invitation to wait begins to transform into hope. We have reasons to invest ourselves in a certain promise.
To believe in hope, however, means to accept a risk. We again see Isaiah’s nerve in preaching this sermon because hope can be so easily dashed. One of the most heartbreaking stories I’ve been told comes from a friend whose parents divorced when she was a little girl, and how after the divorce her father would promise to come pick her up and take her places. She would eagerly await his arrival, but so many times he simply didn’t show up. No warning, no expectation. He just didn’t come, and her mother would have to try to bind up her broken heart. It’s only been as she honestly dealt with the pain of that as an adult that she’s begun to find healing.
For hope to have any value in our lives, we must recognize that we only have reason to hope when our circumstances seem so unhopeful. Hope has little meaning in certainty. That is what must be understood if hope is to be anything that’s real. We’re not interested in unrealistic hope like those who believe they’ll win the Power Ball lottery; we’re not interested in false hope—the sort that wants to believe those emails offering us money from widows in the Ivory Coast; and we’re not even talking about a bargainers hope that says “If this happens, then I’ll do that.”
Isaiah describes a mature hope. This is a hope that recognizes there is spiritual value in waiting, spiritual value in investing in a particular promise, even if things might not turn out the way we wish, or if we never live to see the outcome we’re working toward. This is the hope of the rebels who stole the plans to the Death Star; they knew they wouldn’t live to get off the planet, but they made the attempt anyway.
Learning hope
Where do we go to learn to wait in hope? Advent teaches us to find value in our investment of waiting and hoping for Jesus’ way to be realized. It’s no great secret that most of us would rather sing about Christmas, but true Biblical faith is filled with examples of hope. And in today’s featured hymn—O Come, O Come, Immanuel—we have a song that uses both lyrics and tempo to teach us hope.
The lyrics of this hymn are some of the oldest in our hymnal, and both lyrics and tune have a somewhat complicated and confused story on how they came to exist in this form. What is known is that many of these lyrics are adapted from a sixth or seventh century poem that was used in worship. Not quite a “long time ago in a galaxy far, far away” but it ought to be enough to appreciate that Christians have a long history of valuing hope.
One early use of this hymn comes from the monasteries of the middle ages, where one verse of this hymn would be sung in worship each day from December 17 – 23. Life in the monasteries was very routine, with virtually nothing special to separate one day from the next. There were no Christmas carols being broadcast the week before Thanksgiving; no Christmas TV ads starting the day after Halloween. Nothing but the unceasing sameness of solitary monastic life. But beginning on December 17, the senior abbot in the monastery would sing one verse of this hymn each day in worship, and then give a small gift to each of the monks—perhaps as small as fresh walnuts—as a taste of something different, something special to build anticipation for the celebration of Jesus’ birth.
I also find it interesting that although our arrangement of verses is not the original, each verse in this arrangement does seem to be just a bit more hopeful than the one before, beginning in complete lostness and ending in a hope that God’s vision of the peaceable kingdom will be realized.
Do we have the patience to slow down long enough to begin to hope?
Conclusion
How do we react to Isaiah’s nerve as he looked out over his congregation, knowing what they knew, seeing what they saw, and then told them to wait, because there is more to come? What about when we look at the world around us—or perhaps look no farther than our own lives—and see that it does not comfort either to our expectation or to our understanding of God’s promises? What do we do then?

Model Christina Engelhardt told the Hollywood newsperson she had Associate in Nursing affair with Allen once she was sixteen and he was forty one, and 'I haven't any regrets.'
A Golden State girl says she had a years-long affair with director movie maker that began once she was simply sixteen and he was forty one.
In associate degree interview with the Hollywood communicator, Christina Engelhardt same she became knowledgeable about Allen at his Manhattan lodging whereas she was still sixteen – beneath the legal status of consent in ny – however she doesn’t feel exploited by the moviemaker.
I'm not assaultive Woody," Engelhardt, now 59, told the magazine in associate degree interview printed Mon. "This isn't 'bring down this man.' i am talking concerning my romance. This created ME World Health Organization i'm. i've got no regrets."
She same they were along for eight years, and generally engaged in threesomes with alternative girls, together with histrion Mia Farrow. She same she found the experiences “interesting – a ‘70s exploration.”
Engelhardt – associate degree histrion associate degreed a model – same she was one among the inspirations for the teen character Allen's author character had an affair with in his 1979 show “Manhattan.”
Reps for Allen, 83, and Farrow, 73, failed to answer requests for comment.
Engelhardt isn’t the primary girl to mention she had associate degree affair with Allen whereas in highschool throughout that point frame — histrion Stacy Nelkin has same she did similarly, however that their relationship began once she was seventeen.
Nelkin whom Allen has acknowledged geological dating, has conjointly claimed to be the inspiration for the Mariel writer character in “Manhattan.”
Nelkin told NBC News on Mon that she’d ne'er detected of Engelhardt, however that Allen might need been seeing alternative girls throughout that point amount “doesn’t surprise ME.”
Like Engelhardt, Nelkin remembers her relationship with Allen — whom she same she continues to be shut friends with — warmly.
The time Woody and that i spent along was marvelous and unforgettable. That being same, I actually wouldn’t need either of my daughters thus far somebody twenty four years their senior,” she said.
Engelhardt failed to answer letter of invitation for treat the THR story.

Engelhardt told the magazine she was already operating as a model once she caught sight of Allen in known writers’ resort Elaine’s — a brand new royal house town bar and building — in 1976. She same she born him a note at his table along with her sign that scan, “Since you’ve signed enough autographs, here’s mine!”
She same he known as her shortly when and invited her to his avenue apartment, and that they became physically intimate weeks later. She same he ne'er asked her her age, however was aware she was still in highschool.
Engelhardt same Allen unbroken their relationship quiet by invariably having her over to his lodging and ne'er taking her out. She same she had no downside with him business the shots.
I was a entertainer, agreeable," she said. "Knowing he was a director, I did not argue. i used to be returning from an area of devotion."
In the THR interview, Engelhardt same she believes Hemingway’s “Tracy” character relies on a composite of girls, however one among them was her. She conjointly same she’d had no advance warning concerning what the show was concerning.
I cried through most of the show, the dayspring of realization slowly subsidence in as my greatest fears crept to the surface," she wrote during a memoir manuscript she shared with the magazine.
