This is the gently inclined mattress topper that provides relief from the symptoms of heartburn, sinus congestion, and snoring. The mattress topper starts level with the foot of the bed and inclines subtly, raising a sleeper's upper body to reduce acid reflux and allow gravity to gently drain sinus passages. The interior is made from soft yet supportive cooling gel memory foam that contours to the shape of the body to relieve pressure points and provides a comfortable cushion on which to sleep. The memory foam stays cool to the touch and it won't develop permanent depressions as it immediately reclaims its original form when you get up. "It is well made and durable quality foam. I used it the first night and have experienced peaceful nights rest. It certainly was the answer to my problem." - G, South Carolina

inclined mattress topper
By Ella
from Mt. Holly, NJ
I just received the queen size because the twin was too wide for our bed. This is really helping a medical condition of bile reflux and helps acid reflux, too. It is very comfortable and the incline is subtle. I wish it came with a protective cover, however. When the bed is made, you can notice the elevation, but the results make it worth it. I hear it helps with snoring, too.

Great Sleep
By JLOakCliff
from Dallas, Texas
I love sleeping at a slight angle with head higher - it really helps with spinal muscle relaxation, chest comfort and sinus clearing. I use it with a super super long body pillow. Waking up with NO PAIN in my neck and shoulders and back, like I used to have - instantly gone. Highly Recommended. Also be patient - it takes 24 hours to get to full height.
Worth the money

Improved our sleep which was the goal.
This did what the Dr. asked!
By Lab Lover
from North Olmsted, Oh
This answered the problem of raising the head of the bed as requested by my doctor. Any other method required the modification of the headboard and bed frame. This has been the perfect solution. We had used a gel foam topper anyway, so we merely switched that one out for the inclined one. One of the easiest solutions we've every had. Thanks!

Excellent Product

The order was filled and delivered in no time at all- we were so pleased with your service!
So far so good....
By "Jack"
from Lafayette, OR
It has proven efficacious in helping with reflux and sinus issues, which was the main reason we purchased it. We were skeptical that it would help with the above mentioned health issues at first, but after a few days there has been marked improvement with the aforesaid issues. Thank you for making this product available. I would recommend it to anyone with reflux and sinus problems. It has also helped alleviate snoring which has definitely helped us improve our sleep time!
By Sandy
from Thousand Oaks, Ca
Did the needed job immediately. The best feature is that it covers the whole bed---top to bottom
Helpful for my husband's acid reflux
By Liz
from Walnutport,Pa.
I bought this for my husband to see if it helped with his acid reflux issues and it has. He also feels it helps his back and he sleeps better. It's also comfortable for me to sleep on even though I had no prior problems and my hips don't bother as much when I sleep on my side now. It didn't have an odor at all when we unpacked it like I've read some regular foam toppers do and only took a few hours to expand to full size. We place a fitted sheet just over the topper since it would compress the topper if you try to get the sheet over the existing mattress also. Love it!
I would buy this product again and again
By Marko
from Beaumont, Tx
This a terrific product. On top of our temperpedic mattress we have never slept better, plus this has helped tremendously with my acid reflux issues.

Harun Yahya – Unawareness—A Sly Threat
January 21, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Characteristics of Unaware Individuals
Unaware individuals focus their attention on and pursue worldly desires and expectations as if they were in a trance. They direct all of their efforts toward achieving a higher rank or position and more possessions, and constantly imagine and talk about what they will do with the money they earn. They are so preoccupied with these things that they forget about Allah's commands and prohibitions. Unable to conceive of Allah's knowledge and power, they feel under no obligation to respect the limits He has established for humanity.
Remembering Allah stimulates the conscience of those who do not believe in the Hereafter and reminds them of their unawareness. But when they struggle with their egos as to whether they should fulfill their responsibilities to Him or not, they end up clinging to their unawareness. As a result, they feel great inner discomfort whenever Allah's name is mentioned:
When Allah, the One and Only, is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink back, shuddering. But when others apart from Him are mentioned, they jump for joy.
Az-Zumar: 45
Now, let's examine the general character of these unaware individuals.
They do not remember Allah and the Hereafter and their hearts are filled with worldly ambitions.
Believers' morality is so deep and sincere that nothing prevents them from remembering Allah and observing the obligatory prayers:
(There are people who are) not distracted by trade or commerce from remembering Allah, performing prayer, and giving alms, fearing a day when all hearts and eyes will be in turmoil.
Al-Nur: 37
But, unlike believers, unaware individuals have their hearts set on this world's possessions. This makes them always want to have more and a better life, regardless of how they are currently living. They think money can buy them power and recognition and make them happy. First, they want to amass wealth, and then they want to store it and acquire even more. To make this appear legitimate, they make various excuses. By refusing to spend their money to earn Allah's pleasure, they amass wealth and think only about satisfying their worldly desires. Their fate is described in the Qur'an:
On the Day it is heated up in the fire of Hell, and their foreheads, sides, and backs are branded with it. (They are told): "This is what you hoarded for yourselves, so taste what you were hoarding!"
At-Tawba: 35
… who has amassed wealth and hoarded it! He thinks his wealth will make him live forever. No indeed! He will be flung into the Shatterer.
Al-Humaza: 2-4
Blinded by their desire for worldly possessions, these people are unaware of the fate awaiting them. Having spent their lives obsessed with earning and spending money, they cannot remember Allah, perform their daily prayers, or give money to the poor. However, believers whose hearts are filled only with the desire to win His favor never forget that all of their possessions are no more than His gifts that are to be used to earn His pleasure. Believers, who think only of pleasing Allah and obtaining His mercy, work eagerly so that they may contribute to His religion. Since they cannot become caught up in any other passions, they will always remember Allah, approach Him in prayer, and understand that everything comes from and ultimately belongs to Him. As a result, they will regard their possessions as reminders to thank and praise Him.
Allah gives the example of Prophet Solomon (as) who, although he had great wealth, was neither distracted by it nor made it a focus of ambition; rather, he saw all of it as a reason to thank and praise Him:
When swift horses champing at the bit were displayed before him in the afternoon, he said: "Truly do I love the love of good, with a view to the glory of my Lord," until the sun disappeared behind its veil.
Sad: 31-32
Until Prophet Solomon (as), Allah had never given anyone such power and wealth. He used these blessings to exalt Allah's glory and proclaim His religion's magnificence and honor. He always gave thanks to the true owner of his wealth and possessions.
Unaware people turn their backs on Allah, thinking that wealth, position, and fame can make them happy and content. They enjoy being among people who talk about these things, for in such an environment they can praise themselves and criticize others as well as spend hours watching useless and inane television talk shows:
(Unbelievers are) those whose eyes were blind to My remembrance and whose ears were unable to hear.
Al-Kahf: 101
But believers are not content with possessing worldly goods or participating in useless conversations; rather, they are content only when praising and remembering Him and reading the Qur'an:
… those who believe and whose hearts find peace in the remembrance of Allah. Only in the remembrance of Him can the heart find peace.
Ar-Ra'd: 28
Not using their intellects
In unbelieving societies, the phrase "lack of intelligence" denotes people with mental disabilities and those who behave in an abnormal manner. But in the Qur'an, this phrase refers to those individuals who reject Allah's existence and that of the Hereafter, who live only to satisfy their own egos. According to this definition, people who lack intelligence are not only found in mental hospitals, but also make up a part of society as a whole.
The mind is one of Allah's greatest gifts to humanity. Rational people always act according to their consciences; properly appreciate His knowledge and power; and love, fear, and respect Him. They do their best to please Him, to save themselves from Hell's eternal punishment, and are eager to attain the Hereafter's endless blessings. In addition, they ponder deeply on Allah's creation and appreciate His endless power and greatness, In other words they are believers. Those irrational individuals who do not have this ability are described in the Qur'an:
Have they not traveled throughout the land, and do they not have with which hearts to understand or ears with which to hear? It is not their eyes that are blind, but the hearts in their breasts that are blind.
Al-Hajj: 46
The most distinguishing feature of these irrational people is their preference for the life of this world, to which they are so passionately devoted, over that of the Hereafter. And yet Allah warns such people to reflect on this world's true nature:
The life of this world is nothing but a game and a diversion. The Hereafter is better for those who guard against evil. So will you not use your intellect?
Al-An'am: 32
Anything you have been given is only the enjoyment of the life of this world and its finery. What is with Allah is better and longer lasting. So will you not use your intellect?
Al-Qasas: 60
We have sent down to you a Book containing a Reminder for you. So will you not use your intellect?
Al-Anbiya': 10
The perfectly ordered systems and creatures that Allah has created, together with all that they teach us about reality, are beyond the vision of unaware people; they can only be appreciated by believers who use their intelligence. Intelligent, aware believers carefully observe everything in their vicinity and ponder deeply on what they see. In the Qur'an, Allah gives the examples of a mosquito, a honeybee, a spider, and many other creatures He has made to encourage people to think about and appreciate His knowledge, power, and artistry. However, only those believers with intelligence can know their qualities and understand the perfection of living things and their qualities based on what they produce. From these, they can appreciate His power and artistry.
As for unaware individuals, their irrationality causes them to imagine that the creatures they see around them every day are simple and ordinary. To them, a bee just buzzes around and lands on flowers, and a mosquito is just a blood-sucking pest:
The worst of beasts in Allah' sight are the deaf and dumb (people) who have no intellect.
Al-Anfal: 22
Another important aspect of such people is that since they cannot discriminate between rationality and irrationality, they imagine that they are rational and that it is the rational people who are irrational:
When they are told: "Believe in the way that the people believe," they exclaim: "What! Are we to believe in the way that fools believe?" No indeed! They are the fools, but they do not know it.
Al-Baqara: 13

No. 2: The Kardashians' credit card
Ever wanted to live like a Kardashian? Yeah. Me neither.
But apparently there was a business concern out there that believed there were enough vapid people who would happily shell out money to have a Kardashian-branded credit card.
In 2010 the queens of spending thought it would be a great idea to endorse (and have their pictures emblazoned on) a prepaid credit card. Turns out only about 250 people agreed with them.
The card also brought with it a bevy of obscene fees, drawing the ire of Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal.
He said: "I am deeply disturbed by this card's high fees combined with its appeal to financially unsophisticated young adults."
The only winner was Blumenthal, who managed to slam both the Kardashians and the 250 dimwits who got a card in the first place.
In the end, the Kardashians sued the credit card company in an effort to distance themselves from this horrid idea.
No. 1: Hulk Hogan's Pastamania!
In 1995, Hulk Hogan (real name Terry Bollea) foresaw an age where former wrestlers could offer more to the world than ripping off their shirts and making crazy eyes at TV cameras. A few years later Jesse Ventura would take on the world of politics, but before that, Hogan tried to change humanity via pasta.
After leaving the world of wrestling, Hogan opened a restaurant inside the Mall of America called Pastamania! It featured such palate-ticklers as Hulk-U's and Hulkaroo's.
Unfortunately, there wasn't enough belief in Hulk's vision (Philistines!), so Pastamania! closed its doors within just a year of opening.
It's too bad all this transpired almost 20 years ago. Given his penchant for reality television, he could have asked Gordon Ramsey to help him out and he would have been on another show.

Sweet Maria's offers a few pre-blended coffees for use as espresso and dark roast. There are pros and cons to blending. We feel strongly that good coffee does not need to be blended; we want to discover the "origin taste" in the cup, the singular essence of the place the coffee is from. This is lost in blending.
Our blends are made with our best coffees. We don't treat blends as a way to get rid of older coffees or ones we need to clear out! In many cases, our blend components are sourced just for the blend, based on test roasts and cupping. They are all comprised of coffees on our green coffee offering list.
Sweet Marias Decaf Espresso Donkey Blend
Fruited cup profile, some sweet bright accents, medium body. FC+ to a light Vienna is recommended. Learn MorePrice From: $7.45 -
Sweet Marias Espresso Monkey Blend
We blend this for body, balanced between high and low tones, fruited-chocolate roast flavors, and slightly rustic fruited accent notes. Our roast goal is in the beginning stages of 2nd crack ... we never let it roll, so we recommend FC+ to light Vienna roast. Learn MorePrice From: $6.25 -
Sweet Marias French Roast Blend
Designed to endure the rigors of dark roasting, and produce excellent pungent tastes, attractive bittersweet/carbony flavors, and great body. Learn MorePrice From: $6.75 -
Sweet Marias Liquid Amber Espresso Blend
A potent, pungent blend for espresso beverages. Its ideal for milk drinks, as this intense bittersweet cuts through the steamed milk. Rustic sweetness, spice, savory notes, long aftertaste. Monsooned coffee and a small percentage of Robusta add crema and body. Vienna roast. Learn MorePrice From: $6.50 -
Sweet Marias New Classic Espresso
A classic, balanced espresso, but without the baggage of the old world espresso conventions ...and without robusta! The espresso has balanced bittersweet notes, thick and opaque body, almond and chocolate roast flavors, hints of peach tea, spice, jasmine. Learn MorePrice From: $6.50

Avuncular Wedding Advice From The Avuncle Of The Bride
From time to time, DrHGuy, AKA The Avuncle Of The Bride, checks SportsBizPro's Wedding Blog, the one and only genuine, authentic, 100% sanctified account of the official pre-wedding events pertinent to the impending nuptials of Very Very Good Girl1 and SportsBizPro2 not only to assure himself that their Connubial Bliss Express is running on schedule3 but also to maintain his awareness of just what it is that the young folks are about these days.
Wedding Rule #1 – Limit risk of pre-wedding facial bruising.
It was SportsBizPro's most recent post, Wedding Rule #1 that caught DrHGuy's eye. The text is excerpted below:
Neither Anna nor I are as active as we want to be, but both of us do play in separate soccer leagues during the fall and spring. For those of you who don't like, play or watch soccer, it's more of a "contact" sport then it gets credit for in mainstream American media…and because of this after a game, you can really come out bruised and broken. (Those of you who have played soccer with Anna probably know where this is going). Anna bruises like a freakin' peach and because of this we have implemented:
Soccer will not be played for 1 month leading up to the wedding to avoid bruises on the arms legs and face.
The face part was added to the rule today because of a little elbow I took while playing on Thursday night. The bruise is really coming in nicely 36 hours after the incident. If it gets any worse, I'll definitely update the picture, but I wanted to capture proof of my semi black eye. Could you imagine if Anna or I had a freakin' black eye on our wedding day?!? Our mothers wouldn't be crying tears of joy, that's for sure.
While one might quibble over the idiosyncratic punctuation and the lexical fascination with "freakin'," both of which are readily attributable to youthful exuberance, this is a particularly insightful and useful injunction with respect to wedding plans, sparking hope in DrHGuy's heart that there are those in the younger generation with the grit, determination, and properly aligned priorities to perpetuate the principles he holds dear.
In that spirit, DrHGuy, a veteran of two weddings, one of which was successful, and an observer of many more such ceremonies, offers a few additional guidelines for those perilous times just prior to the ceremony.
Wedding Rule #2. Avoid being immobilized.
Let's begin with an recommendation with special significance for DrHGuy. To the legitimate concern about soccer injuries, add this admonition: do not fracture a hip within two months of the wedding. Clearly no wedding gown is cut to coordinate with a walker, and the assurances of the salesmen at Men's Wearhouse notwithstanding, even a fancy cummerbund won't be sufficient to distract the eye.
This rule comes with corollaries:
2A. If it's possible you have foolishly fractured a hip already, avoid doctors.
2B. Failing that, by all means avoid undergoing a hip x-ray.4
Wedding Rule #3. Carefully check wedding gifts for danger.
You have probably seen the headlines about Chinese made toys being recalled because of lead paint and other problems. While one could trust that friends and family would buy sex toys made in America as gifts for the bride and groom (who, one hopes, have registered their preferences at one of the fine all American emporiums of bedroom accouterments), the wiser course, especially given obvious discomfort toxic toys could cause, is inspection before insertion.
Incidentally, for the month or two prior to the wedding, it is prudent to substitute rope or leather restraints, which can as a last resort be removed by cutting, for handcuffs which are considerably more resistant. Further – and trust me on this – the police have heard all the alibis and will know exactly how the groom came to be dressed in the honeymoon lingerie with his wrists handcuffed behind his back regardless of the well rehearsed and sincerely related lies you tell them.
Wedding Rule #4. Converting to a religion that worships a six-headed goddess who devours her children or a potato with an uncanny resemblance to Elvis Presley during his Las Vegas phase is forbidden during the 3 months just prior to the wedding.
Wedding Rule #5. When catastrophe portends and escape from the current situation is essential for social survival, fake a seizure.
If one is, however, either the bride or groom a wedding is, alas, not an appropriate arena for such desperate measures. Yet, as one might imagine, a wedding might engender any number of scenarios that might make such an out notably desirable. The answer is, of course, a designated seizure-faker. A well-chosen Best Man is often the optimal choice.
Wedding Rule #6. The groom who harbors hopes for a long and happy marriage is well-advised to avoid making suggestions such as attiring the bridesmaids in French maid uniforms, regardless of how freakin' hot that would be.
If he values his relations with his bride or the bride's family, the wise groom also eschews scenarios in which the bridesmaids are clad in denim cutoffs and halter tops; matching pink panties, bras, and 5 inch spike heels; a single strategically placed bridesmaid's bouquet; or any apparel constructed from leather.
While we're on the topic of traditional ceremonies, grooms with a perspective extending beyond the next weekend will forgo promoting such innovations as transforming the rehearsal dinner or the wedding reception into a tailgate party or a kegger.
Here's a handy rule of thumb:
A wedding suggestion beginning with "Technically, it wouldn't be illegal to … " is a wedding suggestion one should repress immediately.

- SportsBizPro, who, as his blogonym suggests, works in the field of sports accouterments and seems a decent sort although Very Very Good Girl has known him only since the 9th grade and, more to the point, DrHGuy has been aware of his existence only the last two or three years, which places him squarely within the probationary period.

- For the six weeks before the hip x-ray was done, the pain in DrHGuy's leg was a muscle pull. Within a moment of the unveiling of that hip x-ray, DrHGuy's pulled muscle vanished, only to be replaced by a fractured femur. Without x-ray – muscle pull; With x-ray – broken hip. You do the math. [↩]

After a long delay due to a rescheduled court date, a case between two Drew men was settled at the Sunflower County Justice Court in Indianola Monday.
Tension has been running high between Drew citizen Jim Dutton and city dogcatcher Floyd Fedrick since Dutton charged Fedrick in late July for allegedly confining animals without food or water at the city dog pound.
The case was originally scheduled for August but could not be heard because of scheduling conflicts related to system judges and Fedrick's attorney.
Judge Gwendolyn Pernall ruled Monday that Fedrick was not guilty and he was cleared of the charge.
"I feel great now that the charges were dropped," said Fedrick. "I'm still upset because of all of his allegations and the smearing of my name.
"I've been cleared because there was no evidence against me. I feel good — case closed."
But Dutton claimed he was shammed when he wasn't allowed to exhibit his evidence in court.
"I have collected a lot of evidence and documents since the abuse started, but the court wouldn't allow me to present it," said Dutton. "I may need to take this to the department of justice."
Living conditions for the dogs and operational procedures at the pound have been highly debated topics in Drew for quite some time, causing the board of aldermen to shut the pound's doors for more than a year.
Fedrick still holds the title of dogcatcher but said he no longer captures dogs nor gets paid now that the facility is closed.
He has also worked full time as a city employee in street maintenance for the past 13 years.
Despite the closing, dogs have appeared in the pound multiple times, including in July (prior to charges brought forth by Dutton) when Dutton was charged by Fedrick for destroying city property and trespassing when he cut locks in an effort to provide food and water to dogs that Dutton said were extremely malnourished and living in filthy conditions.
Drew Municipal Judge Boyd Atkinson ruled Fedrick had no authority to charge Dutton and he was cleared of July's charge.
Dutton, who does not work for the city, has volunteered substantial time trying to care for many of the stray dogs that plague the city's streets.
Now that the case against Fedrick has been dropped, Dutton said his focus "is moving forward to make sure no more harm is done to animals."
A nonprofit community group known as Second Chance Animal Rescue Shelter (SCARS) was started by Dutton in late August in effort to create a humane shelter to control overpopulation by using humane tactics instead of the "capture and kill" methods.
The group still meets only a monthly basis to develop solutions.
"We have a bank of people ready to share ideas, time and money to make this happen," Dutton said.
Fedrick, however, said Monday's ruling indicates the pound may reopen early in 2013.
"Hopefully we'll be opening back up soon," said Fedrick. "Everything he's been saying is a big lie — a scandal. It's over with and we're ready to go on with life."
Dutton continues to struggle with the opposition he faces, especially since the pound was voted closed, but said he will keep fighting for humane solutions to Drew's dog problem.
"I know I've completely destroyed my credibility with the city government and it's unfortunate we can't work together," said Dutton. "We'll continue to try and find families for the dogs through out-of-state adoption programs and hopefully find ways the existing dogs can live out their lives in safe environments."

Antimicrobial Stewardship in a Community Hospital: An effective cost reducing strategy
Aman Dalal, M.D.1; Deborah Figueroa, Pharm.D.2; Webheh Webheh, M.D. 1,3; Carl Urban, Ph.D. 1,4; James Rahal, M.D. 1,3
Division of Infectious Diseases, New York Hospital Queens1
Pharmacy Department, New York Hospital Queens2
Department of Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College3
Department of Microbiology, Weill Cornell Medical College4
Purpose: The goals of a successful antimicrobial stewardship program targets cost and prevention of antimicrobial resistance. Prolonged antimicrobial use, suboptimal dosing and inappropriate empirical selection are key issues that need monitoring. A partnership among Infectious Diseases, Pharmacy and Microbiology Departments endeavors to reduce cost, prevent resistance and promote safety through education and targeted interventions.
Methods: All patients receiving antimicrobials on a specific floor were evaluated using clinical and laboratory findings on seven separate days form November 2008 to March 2009. The appropriateness of antibiotic therapy was determined and discussed with the treating Physician and recommendations were made. Patients who had been seen by an Infectious Disease Consultant were excluded. The cost savings were determined for a three-day period (minimum savings) or for the number of days between intervention (defined as discontinuation, de-escalation, renal adjustment and intravenous to enteral) and withdrawal of antibiotics or hospital discharge (actual savings).
Results: During the five-month study period, 81 patients were reviewed; Antibiotic adjustments were recommended for 70 patients and of these 53 recommendations were accepted.
Conclusions: Antimicrobial stewardship reduced antibiotic drug expenditures with a minimum to maximum cost savings of $ 2890 to $ 6190. Our review yielded intervention in 86% of the patients evaluated and these interventions were accepted and implemented in 76% of the patients.. We extrapolated that annually we can save a minimum to a maximum of $95,411 to $ 229, 910.

The variety of use of spiritual gifts are shown. (1-11) In the human body every member has its place and use. (12-26) This is applied to the church of Christ. (27-30) And there is something more excellent than spiritual gifts. (31)
Verses 1-11 Spiritual gifts were extraordinary powers bestowed in the first ages, to convince unbelievers, and to spread the gospel. Gifts and graces greatly differ. Both were freely given of God. But where grace is given, it is for the salvation of those who have it. Gifts are for the advantage and salvation of others; and there may be great gifts where there is no grace. The extraordinary gifts of the Holy Spirit were chiefly exercised in the public assemblies, where the Corinthians seem to have made displays of them, wanting in the spirit of piety, and of Christian love. While heathens, they had not been influenced by the Spirit of Christ. No man can call Christ Lord, with believing dependence upon him, unless that faith is wrought by the Holy Ghost. No man could believe with his heart, or prove by a miracle, that Jesus was Christ, unless by the Holy Ghost. There are various gifts, and various offices to perform, but all proceed from one God, one Lord, one Spirit; that is, from the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the origin of all spiritual blessings. No man has them merely for himself. The more he profits others, the more will they turn to his own account. The gifts mentioned appear to mean exact understanding, and uttering the doctrines of the Christian religion; the knowledge of mysteries, and skill to give advice and counsel. Also the gift of healing the sick, the working of miracles, and to explain Scripture by a peculiar gift of the Spirit, and ability to speak and interpret languages. If we have any knowledge of the truth, or any power to make it known, we must give all the glory of God. The greater the gifts are, the more the possessor is exposed to temptations, and the larger is the measure of grace needed to keep him humble and spiritual; and he will meet with more painful experiences and humbling dispensations. We have little cause to glory in any gifts bestowed on us, or to despise those who have them not.
Verses 12-26 Christ and his church form one body, as Head and members. Christians become members of this body by baptism. The outward rite is of Divine institution; it is a sign of the new birth, and is called therefore the washing of regeneration, ( Titus 3:5 ) . But it is by the Spirit, only by the renewing of the Holy Ghost, that we are made members of Christ's body. And by communion with Christ at the Lord's supper, we are strengthened, not by drinking the wine, but by drinking into one Spirit. Each member has its form, place, and use. The meanest makes a part of the body. There must be a distinction of members in the body. So Christ's members have different powers and different places. We should do the duties of our own place, and not murmur, or quarrel with others. All the members of the body are useful and necessary to each other. Nor is there a member of the body of Christ, but may and ought to be useful to fellow-members. As in the natural body of man, the members should be closely united by the strongest bonds of love; the good of the whole should be the object of all. All Christians are dependent one upon another; each is to expect and receive help from the rest. Let us then have more of the spirit of union in our religion.
Verses 27-31 Contempt, hatred, envy, and strife, are very unnatural in Christians. It is like the members of the same body being without concern for one another, or quarrelling with each other. The proud, contentious spirit that prevailed, as to spiritual gifts, was thus condemned. The offices and gifts, or favours, dispensed by the Holy Spirit, are noticed. Chief ministers; persons enabled to interpret Scripture; those who laboured in word and doctrine; those who had power to heal diseases; such as helped the sick and weak; such as disposed of the money given in charity by the church, and managed the affairs of the church; and such as could speak divers languages. What holds the last and lowest rank in this list, is the power to speak languages; how vain, if a man does so merely to amuse or to exalt himself! See the distribution of these gifts, not to every one alike, ( 1 Corinthians. 12:29-30 ) body were all ear, or all eye. The Spirit distributes to every one as he will. We must be content though we are lower and less than others. We must not despise others, if we have greater gifts. How blessed the Christian church, if all the members did their duty! Instead of coveting the highest stations, or the most splendid gifts, let us leave the appointment of his instruments to God, and those in whom he works by his providence. Remember, those will not be approved hereafter who seek the chief places, but those who are most faithful to the trust placed in them, and most diligent in their Master's work.
1 Corinthians 12:1-31 . THE USE AND THE ABUSE OF SPIRITUAL GIFTS, ESPECIALLY PROPHESYING AND TONGUES.
This is the second subject for correction in the Corinthian assemblies: the "first" was discussed ( 1 Corinthians 11:18-34 ).
1. spiritual gifts--the signs of the Spirit's continued efficacious presence in the Church, which is Christ's body, the complement of His incarnation, as the body is the complement of the head. By the love which pervades the whole, the gifts of the several members, forming reciprocal complements to each other, tend to the one object of perfecting the body of Christ. The ordinary and permanent gifts are comprehended together with the extraordinary, without distinction specified, as both alike flow from the divine indwelling Spirit of life. The extraordinary gifts, so far from making professors more peculiarly saints than in our day, did not always even prove that such persons were in a safe state at all ( Matthew 7:22 ). They were needed at first in the Church: (1) as a pledge to Christians themselves who had just passed over from Judaism or heathendom, that God was in the Church; (2) for the propagation of Christianity in the world; (3) for the edification of the Church. Now that we have the whole written New Testament (which they had not) and Christianity established as the result of the miracles, we need no further miracle to attest the truth. So the pillar of cloud which guided the Israelites was withdrawn when they were sufficiently assured of the Divine Presence, the manifestation of God's glory being thenceforward enclosed in the Most Holy Place [ARCHBISHOP WHATELY]. Paul sets forth in order: (1). The unity of the body ( 1 Corinthians 12:1-27 ). (2). The variety of its members and functions ( 1 Corinthians 12:27-30 ). (3). The grand principle for the right exercise of the gifts, namely, love ( 1 Corinthians 12:31 , 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 ). (4) The comparison of the gifts with one another ( 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 ).
I would not have you ignorant--with all your boasts of "knowledge" at Corinth. If ignorant now, it will be your own fault, not mine ( 1 Corinthians 14:38 ).
2. ( Ephesians 2:11 ).
that ye were--The best manuscripts read, "That WHEN ye were"; thus "ye were" must be supplied before "carried away"--Ye were blindly transported hither and thither at the will of your false guides.
these dumb idols--Greek, "the idols which are dumb"; contrasted with the living God who "speaks" in the believer by His Spirit ( 1 Corinthians 12:3 , &c.). This gives the reason why the Corinthians needed instruction as to spiritual gifts, namely, their past heathen state, wherein they had no experience of intelligent spiritual powers. When blind, ye went to the dumb.
as ye were led--The Greek is, rather, "as ye might (happen to) be led," namely, on different occasions. The heathen oracles led their votaries at random, without any definite principle.
3. The negative and positive criteria of inspiration by the Spirit--the rejection or confession of Jesus as Lord [ALFORD] ( 1 John 4:2 , 5:1 ). Paul gives a test of truth against the Gentiles; John, against the false prophets.
by the Spirit--rather, as Greek, "IN the Spirit"; that being the power pervading him, and the element in which he speaks [ALFORD], ( Matthew 16:17 , John 15:26 ).
of God . . . Holy--The same Spirit is called at one time "the Spirit of GOD"; at another, "the HOLY Ghost," or "Holy Spirit." Infinite Holiness is almost synonymous with Godhead.
speaking . . . say--"Speak" implies the act of utterance; "say" refers to that which is uttered. Here, "say" means a spiritual and believing confession of Him.
Jesus--not an abstract doctrine, but the historical, living God-man ( Romans 10:9 ).
accursed--as the Jews and Gentiles treated Him ( Galatians 3:13 ). Compare "to curse Christ" in the heathen PLINY'S letter [Epistles, 10.97]. The spiritual man feels Him to be the Source of all blessings ( Ephesians 1:3 ) and to be severed from Him is to be accursed ( Romans 9:3 ).
Lord--acknowledging himself as His servant ( Isaiah 26:13 ). "Lord" is the Septuagint translation for the incommunicable Hebrew name JEHOVAH.
4. diversities of gifts--that is, varieties of spiritual endowments peculiar to the several members of the Church: compare "dividing to every man severally" ( 1 Corinthians 12:11 ).
same Spirit--The Holy Trinity appears here: the Holy Spirit in this verse; Christ in 1 Corinthians 12:5 ; and the Father in 1 Corinthians 12:6 . The terms "gifts," "administrations," and "operations," respectively correspond to the Divine Three. The Spirit is treated of in 1 Corinthians 12:7 , &c.; the Lord, in 1 Corinthians 12:12 , &c.; God, in 1 Corinthians 12:28 . (Compare Ephesians 4:4-6 ).
5, 6. "Gifts" ( 1 Corinthians 12:4 ), "administrations" (the various functions and services performed by those having the gifts, compare 1 Corinthians 12:28 ), and "operations" (the actual effects resulting from both the former, through the universally operative power of the one Father who is "above all, through all, and in us all"), form an ascending climax [HENDERSON, Inspiration].
same Lord--whom the Spirit glorifies by these ministrations [BENGEL].
6. operations--(Compare 1 Corinthians 12:10 ).
same God . . . worketh--by His Spirit working ( 1 Corinthians 12:11 ).
all in all--all of them (the "gifts") in all the persons (who possess them).
7. But--Though all the gifts flow from the one God, Lord, and Spirit, the "manifestation" by which the Spirit acts (as He is hidden in Himself), varies in each individual.
to every man--to each of the members of the Church severally.
to profit withal--with a view to the profit of the whole body.
8-10. Three classes of gifts are distinguished by a distinct Greek word for "another" (a distinct class), marking the three several genera: allo marks the species, hetero the genera (compare Greek, 1 Corinthians 15:39-41 ). I. Gifts of intellect, namely, (1) wisdom; (2) knowledge. II. Gifts dependent on a special faith, namely, that of miracles ( Matthew 17:20 ): (1) healings; (2) workings of miracles; (3) prophecy of future events; (4) discerning of spirits, or the divinely given faculty of distinguishing between those really inspired, and those who pretended to inspiration. III. Gifts referring to the tongues: (1) diverse kinds of tongues; (2) interpretation of tongues. The catalogue in 1 Corinthians 12:28 is not meant strictly to harmonize with the one here,. though there are some particulars in which they correspond. The three genera are summarily referred to by single instances of each in 1 Corinthians 13:8 . The first genus refers more to believers; the second, to unbelievers.
by . . . by . . . by--The first in Greek is, "By means of," or "through the operation of"; the second is, "according to" the disposing of (compare 1 Corinthians 12:11 ); the third is, "in," that is, under the influence of (so the Greek, Matthew 22:43 , Luke 2:27 ).
word of wisdom--the ready utterance of (for imparting to others, Ephesians 6:19 ) wisdom, namely, new revelations of the divine wisdom in redemption, as contrasted with human philosophy ( 1 Corinthians 1:24 , 1 Corinthians 2:6 1 Corinthians 2:7 , Ephesians 1:8 , 3:10 , Colossians 2:3 ).
word of knowledge--ready utterance supernaturally imparted of truths ALREADY REVEALED (in this it is distinguished from "the word of wisdom," which related to NEW revelations). Compare 1 Corinthians 14:6 , where "revelation" (answering to "wisdom" here) is distinguished from "knowledge" [HENDERSON]. Wisdom or revelation belonged to the "prophets"; knowledge, to the "teachers." Wisdom penetrates deeper than knowledge. Knowledge relates to things that are to be done. Wisdom, to things eternal: hence, wisdom is not, like knowledge, said to "pass away" ( 1 Corinthians 13:8 ), [BENGEL].
9. faith--not of doctrines, but of miracles: confidence in God, by the impulse of His Spirit, that He would enable them to perform any required miracle (compare 1 Corinthians 13:2 , 11:23 , 5:15 ). Its nature, or principle, is the same as that of saving faith, namely, reliance on God; the producing cause, also, in the same,' namely, a power altogether supernatural ( Ephesians 1:19 Ephesians 1:20 ). But the objects of faith differ respectively. Hence, we see, saving faith does not save by its instrinsic merit, but by the merits of Him who is the object of it.
healing--Greek plural, "healings"; referring to different kinds of disease which need different kinds of healing ( Matthew 10:1 ).
10. working of miracles--As "healings" are miracles, those here meant must refer to miracles of special and extraordinary POWER (so the Greek for "miracles" means); for example, healings might be effected by human skill in course of time; but the raising of the dead, the infliction of death by a word, the innocuous use of poisons, &c., are miracles of special power. Compare 6:5 , Acts 19:11 .
prophecy--Here, probably, not in the wider sense of public teaching by the Spirit ( 1 Corinthians 11:4 1 Corinthians 11:5 , 1 Corinthians 14:1-5 1 Corinthians 14:22-39 ); but, as its position between "miracles" and a "discerning of spirits" implies, the inspired disclosure of the future ( Acts 11:27 Acts 11:28 , 21:11 , 1 Timothy 1:18 ), [HENDERSON]. It depends on "faith" ( 1 Corinthians 12:9 , Romans 12:6 ). The prophets ranked next to the apostles ( 1 Corinthians 12:28 , Ephesians 3:5 , 4:11 ). As prophecy is part of the whole scheme of redemption, an inspired insight into the obscurer parts of the existing Scriptures, was the necessary preparation for the miraculous foresight of the future.
discerning of spirits--discerning between the operation of God's Spirit, and the evil spirit, or unaided human spirit ( 1 Corinthians 14:29 ; compare 1 Timothy 4:1 , 1 John 4:1 ).
kinds of tongues--the power of speaking various languages: also a spiritual language unknown to man, uttered in ecstasy ( 1 Corinthians 14:2-12 ). This is marked as a distinct genus in the Greek, "To another and a different class."
interpretation of tongues--( 1 Corinthians 14:13 1 Corinthians 14:26 1 Corinthians 14:27 ).
11. as he will--( 1 Corinthians 12:18 , Hebrews 2:4 ).
12, 13. Unity, not unvarying uniformity, is the law of God in the world of grace, as in that of nature. As the many members of the body compose an organic whole and none can be dispensed with as needless, so those variously gifted by the Spirit, compose a spiritual organic whole, the body of Christ, into which all are baptized by the one Spirit.
of that one body--Most of the oldest manuscripts omit "one."
so also is Christ--that is, the whole Christ, the head and body. So Psalms 18:50 , "His anointed (Messiah or Christ), David (the antitypical David) and His seed."
13. by . . . Spirit . . . baptized--literally, "in"; in virtue of; through. The designed effect of baptism, which is realized when not frustrated by the unfaithfulness of man.
Gentiles--literally, "Greeks."
all made to drink into one Spirit--The oldest manuscripts read, "Made to drink of one Spirit," omitting "into" ( John 7:37 ). There is an indirect allusion to the Lord's Supper, as there is a direct allusion to baptism in the beginning of the verse. So the "Spirit, the water, and the blood" ( 1 John 5:8 ), similarly combine the two outward signs with the inward things signified, the Spirit's grace.
are . . . have been--rather as Greek, "were . . . were" (the past tense).
14. Translate, "For the body also." The analogy of the body, not consisting exclusively of one, but of many members, illustrates the mutual dependence of the various members in the one body, the Church. The well-known fable of the belly and the other members, spoken by Menenius Agrippa, to the seceding commons [LIVY, 2.32], was probably before Paul's mind, stored as it was with classical literature.
15. The humbler members ought not to disparage themselves, or to be disparaged by others more noble ( 1 Corinthians 12:21 1 Corinthians 12:22 ).
foot . . . hand--The humble speaks of the more honorable member which most nearly resembles itself: so the "ear" of the "eye" (the nobler and more commanding member, Numbers 10:31 ), ( 1 Corinthians 12:16 ). As in life each compares himself with those whom he approaches nearest in gifts, not those far superior. The foot and hand represent men of active life; the ear and eye, those of contemplative life.
17. Superior as the eye is, it would not do if it were the sole member to the exclusion of the rest.
18. now--as the case really is.
every one--each severally.
19. where were the body--which, by its very idea, "hath many members" ( 1 Corinthians 12:12 1 Corinthians 12:14 ), [ALFORD].
20. now--as the case really is: in contrast to the supposition ( 1 Corinthians 12:19 ; compare 1 Corinthians 12:18 ).
many members--mutually dependent.
21. The higher cannot dispense with the lower members.
22. more feeble--more susceptible of injury: for example, the brain, the belly, the eye. Their very feebleness, so far from doing away with the need for them, calls forth our greater care for their preservation, as being felt "necessary."
23. less honourable--"We think" the feet and the belly "less honorable," though not really so in the nature of things.
bestow . . . honour--putting shoes on (Margin) the feet, and clothes to cover the belly.
uncomely parts--the secret parts: the poorest, though unclad in the rest of the body, cover these.
24. tempered . . . together--on the principle of mutual compensation.
to that part which lacked--to the deficient part [ALFORD], ( 1 Corinthians 12:23 ).
25. no schism--(compare 1 Corinthians 12:21 )--no disunion; referring to the "divisions" noticed ( 1 Corinthians 11:18 ).
care one for another--that is, in behalf of one another.
26. And--Accordingly.
all . . . suffer with it--"When a thorn enters the heel, the whole body feels it, and is concerned: the back bends, the belly and thighs contract themselves, the hands come forward and draw out the thorn, the head stoops, and the eyes regard the affected member with intense gaze" [CHRYSOSTOM].
rejoice with it--"When the head is crowned, the whole man feels honored, the mouth expresses, and the eyes look, gladness" [CHRYSOSTOM].
27. members in particular--that is, severally members of it. Each church is in miniature what the whole aggregate of churches is collectively, "the body of Christ" (compare 1 Corinthians 3:16 ): and its individual components are members, every one in his assigned place.
28. set . . . in the church--as He has "set the members . . . in the body" ( 1 Corinthians 12:18 ).
first apostles--above even the prophets. Not merely the Twelve, but others are so called, for example, Barnabas, &c. ( Romans 16:7 ).
teachers--who taught, for the most part, truths already revealed; whereas the prophets made new revelations and spoke all their prophesyings under the Spirit's influence. As the teachers had the "word of knowledge," so the prophets "the word of wisdom" ( 1 Corinthians 12:8 ). Under "teachers" are included "evangelists and pastors."
miracles--literally, "powers" ( 1 Corinthians 12:10 ):ranked below "teachers," as the function of teaching is more edifying, though less dazzling than working miracles.
helps, governments--lower and higher departments of "ministrations" ( 1 Corinthians 12:5 ); as instances of the former, deacons whose office it was to help in the relief of the poor, and in baptizing and preaching, subordinate to higher ministers ( Acts 6:1-10 , 8:5-17 ); also, others who helped with their time and means, in the Lord's cause (compare 1 Corinthians 13:13 , Numbers 11:17 ). The Americans similarly use "helps" for "helpers." And, as instances of the latter, presbyters, or bishops, whose office it was to govern the Church ( 1 Timothy 5:17 , Hebrews 13:17 Hebrews 13:24 ). These officers, though now ordinary and permanent, were originally specially endowed with the Spirit for their office, whence they are here classified with other functions of an inspired character. Government (literally, "guiding the helm" of affairs), as being occupied with external things, notwithstanding the outward status it gives, is ranked by the Spirit with the lower functions. Compare "He that giveth" (answering to "helps")--"he that ruleth" (answering to "governments") ( Romans 12:8 ). Translate, literally, "Helpings, governings" [ALFORD].
diversities of tongues--( 1 Corinthians 12:10 ). "Divers kinds of tongues."
29. Are all?--Surely not.
31. covet earnestly--Greek, "emulously desire." Not in the spirit of discontented "coveting." The Spirit "divides to every man severally as He will" ( 1 Corinthians 12:1 ); but this does not prevent men earnestly seeking, by prayer and watchfulness, and cultivation of their faculties, the greatest gifts. BEZA explains, "Hold in the highest estimation"; which accords with the distinction in his view ( 1 Corinthians 14:1 ) between "follow after charity--zealously esteem spiritual gifts"; also with ( 1 Corinthians 12:11 1 Corinthians 12:18 ) the sovereign will with which the Spirit distributes the gifts, precluding individuals from desiring gifts not vouchsafed to them. But
the best gifts--Most of the oldest manuscripts read, "the greatest gifts."
and yet--Greek, "and moreover." Besides recommending your zealous desire for the greatest gifts, I am about to show you a something still more excellent (literally, "a way most way-like") to desire, "the way of love" (compare 1 Corinthians 14:1 ). This love, or "charity," includes both "faith" and "hope" ( 1 Corinthians 13:7 ), and bears the same fruits ( 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 ) as the ordinary and permanent fruits of the Spirit ( Galatians 5:22-24 ). Thus "long-suffering," compare 1 Corinthians 12:4 ; "faith," 1 Corinthians 12:7 ; "joy," 1 Corinthians 12:6 ; "meekness," 1 Corinthians 12:5 ; "goodness," 1 Corinthians 12:5 ; "gentleness," 1 Corinthians 12:4 (the Greek is the same for "is kind"). It is the work of the Holy Spirit, and consists in love to God, on account of God's love in Christ to us, and as a consequence, love to man, especially to the brethren in Christ ( Romans 5:5 , 15:30 ). This is more to be desired than gifts ( Luke 10:20 ).


text:
Verse 1 It seems hard to believe that men of the greatest abilities, as well as the ignorant, should render themselves fools and madmen, merely for the taste or excitement produced by strong liquors. Verse 2 . How formidable kings are to those who provoke them! how much more foolish then is it to provoke the King of kings! Verse 3 . To engage in quarrels is the greatest folly that can be. Yield, and even give up just demands, for peace' sake. Verse 4 . He who labours and endures hardship in his seed-time for eternity, will be properly diligent as to his earthly business. Verse 5 . Though many capable of giving wise counsel are silent, yet something may be drawn from them, which will reward those who obtain it. Verse 6 . It is hard to find those that have done, and will do more good than they speak, or care to hear spoken of. Verse 7 . A good man is not liable to uneasiness in contriving what he shall do, or in reflecting on what he has done, as those who walk in deceit. And his family fare better for his sake. Verse 8 . If great men are good men, they may do much good, and prevent very much evil. Verse 9 . Some can say, Through grace, we are cleaner than we have been; but it was the work of the Holy Spirit. Verse 10 . See the various deceits men use, of which the love of money is the root. The Lord will not bless what is thus gotten. Verse 11 . Parents should observe their children, that they may manage them accordingly. Verse 12 . All our powers and faculties are from God, and are to be employed for him. Verse 13 . Those that indulge themselves, may expect to want necessaries, which should have been gotten by honest labour. Verse 14 . Men use arts to get a good bargain, and to buy cheap; whereas a man ought to be ashamed of a fraud and a lie. Verse 15 . He that prefers true knowledge to riches, follows the ways of religion and happiness. If we really believed this truth, the word of God would be valued as it deserves, and the world would lose its tempting influence. Verse 16 . Those ruin themselves who entangle themselves in rash suretiship. Also those who are in league with abandoned women. Place no confidence in either. Verse 17 . Wealth gotten by fraud may be sweet, for the carnal mind takes pleasure in the success of wicked devices; but it will be bitter in the reflection. Verse 18 . Especially we need advice in spiritual warfare. The word and Spirit of God are the best counsellors in every point. Verse 19 . Those dearly buy their own praise, who put confidence in a man because he speaks fairly. Verse 20 . An undutiful child will become very miserable. Never let him expect any peace or comfort. Verse 21 . An estate suddenly raised, is often as suddenly ruined. Verse 22 . Wait on the Lord, attend his pleasure, and he will protect thee. Verse 23 . A bargain made by fraud will prove a losing bargain in the end. Verse 24 . How can we form plans, and conduct business, independently of the Lord? Verse 25 . The evasions men often use with their own consciences show how false and deceitful man is. Verse 26 . Justice should crush the wicked, and separate them from the virtuous. Verse 27 . The rational soul and conscience are as a lamp within us, which should be used in examining our dispositions and motives with the revealed will of God. Verse 28 . Mercy and truth are the glories of God's throne. Verse 29 . Both young and old have their advantages; and let neither despise or envy the other. Verse 30 . Severe rebukes sometimes do a great deal of good. But such is the corruption of nature, that men are loth to be rebuked for their sins. If God uses severe afflictions, to purify our hearts and fit us for his service, we have cause to be very thankful.
1. mocker--scorner. Such men are made by wine.
strong drink--made by spicing wine (compare Isaiah 5:11 Isaiah 5:22 ); and it may include wine.
raging--or boisterous as a drunkard.
deceived--literally, "erring," or reeling.
2. (Compare Proverbs 19:12 ). Men who resist authority injure themselves ( Romans 13:2 ).
3. to cease from strife--or, better, "to dwell from or without strife," denoting the habit of life.
fool . . . meddling--( Proverbs 17:14 ).
4. shall . . . beg--literally, "ask" (in this sense, Psalms 109:10 ).
5. Counsel . . . water--that is, deeply hidden ( Proverbs 18:4 , Psalms 13:2 ). The wise can discern well.
6. Boasters are unreliable.
goodness--or, "kind disposition."
7. The conduct of good men proclaims their sound principles. God's covenant and their good example secure blessing to their children ( Proverbs 4:26 , Psalms 112:1 Psalms 112:2 ).
8. As in Proverbs 14:35 , Proverbs 16:10 Proverbs 16:15 , this is the character of a good king, not of all kings.
9. The interrogation in the affirmative strengthens the implied negation (compare Job 15:14 , Ecclesiastes 7:20 ).
10. Various measures, implying that some are wrong (compare Proverbs 11:1 , 16:11 ).
11. The conduct of children even is the best test of principle (compare Matthew 7:16 ).
12. Hence, of course, God will know all you do ( Psalms 94:9 ).
13. Activity and diligence contrasted with sloth ( Proverbs 6:9 , 10:11 ).
lest . . . poverty--literally, "be deprived of inheritance."
14. when . . . his way--implying that he goes about boasting of his bargains.
15. The contrast denotes the greater value of knowledge (compare Proverbs 3:14-16 ).
16. Take his garment--implies severe exaction, justified by the surety's rashness.
a strange woman--by some readings "strangers," but the former here, and in Proverbs 27:13 , is allowable, and strengthens the sense. The debauchee is less reliable than the merely careless.
17. Bread . . . sweet--either as unlawfully ( Proverbs 9:17 ) or easily obtained.
mouth . . . gravel--well expresses the pain and grief given at last.
18. (Compare Proverbs 15:22 ). Be careful and considerate in important plans.
19. Those who love to tell news will hardly keep secrets.
flattereth . . . lips--(compare Margin; Proverbs 1:10 ).

20. his lamp--(Compare Proverbs 13:9 , 24:20 ).
21. gotten hastily--contrary to God's providence ( Proverbs 28:20 ), implying its unjust or easy attainment; hence the man is punished, or spends freely what he got easily (compare Proverbs 20:17 ).
22. (Compare Psalms 27:14 , Romans 12:17-19 ).
23. (Compare Proverbs 20:10 , Proverbs 11:1 ).
24. Man's goings--literally, "Stately steppings of a strong man."
a man--any common man.
understand--or, "perceive."
25. devoureth . . . holy--or, better, "who rashly speaks promises," or "devotes what is holy," consecrating any thing. This suits better the last clause, which expresses a similar view of the results of rashly vowing.
26. (Compare Proverbs 20:8 ).
bringeth . . . over them--The wheel was used for threshing grain. The figure denotes severity (compare Amos 1:3 ).
27. The spirit . . . Lord--Men's minds are God's gifts, and thus able to search one another (compare Proverbs 20:5 , Proverbs 18:8 Proverbs 18:17 , 1 Corinthians 2:11 ).
28. (Compare Proverbs 3:3 , Proverbs 16:6 Proverbs 16:12 ).
29. The glory of young men . . . the beauty of old men--Each age has its peculiar excellence ( Proverbs 16:31 ).
30. blueness--literally, "joining," the process of uniting the edges of a wound throws off purulent matter.
stripes . . . belly--So punishment provides healing of soul ( Proverbs 18:8 ), by deterring from evil courses.

Dinner tonight was leftovers from the last two nights--fast and early to leave me time for scrapping!
We just had tuna helper. I usually make a better dinner than that but I just didn't have the umph tonight. It was a long day at work.
Crystal in PA
Is 6 last?
Anna- you are blessed.
I was going to make Orzo stuffed peppers. But the scrap was coming up so fast my husband suggested something easier (I was starting to stress)
No stress allowed for a speed scrap! Gotta have a Zen attitude--go with the flow...
We went to pizza and wings place and the kids got to make their own pizza! Was nice to get out for a change!

Step 5: Cluster as many elements as you wish around and between these photos

The production features a dozen ice skaters (including one that takes flight), life-size elephant puppets, cheetah costuming, a Siberian lynx and other animals, acrobats on trampolines, a three-story tree, a virtual snowstorm and high-tech video mapping to tell a round-the-world story in about half an hour.
"We have done ice shows in the past, and they have been very, very popular with our guests," Swenson says. "But this is the ice show for the new millennium. We're taking it to a whole new dimension."
The plot centers on an 11-year-old boy who communicates mainly through his electronic devices, and his grandfather, who encourages him to come out of his room and "journey to the four corners of the earth," Swenson says.
The global nature of "Iceploration" is achieved through ever-morphing staging created by technology known as video mapping, which projects images onto different surfaces inside the park's Moroccan Palace Theatre.
"By taking video content that has been produced specifically for the show, we are able to change the entire look of the proscenium or the legs or the backdrop. Or we're able to project onto painted media and make it move and come to life," Swenson says. "It's incorporating some rather high-tech video processes into a live theater experience."
The stage changes along with the changes in show's locations. Guests and skaters make stops at the Serengeti, the Great Barrier Reef, the Arctic and a rain forest.
The African scene features a life-size momma elephant puppet controlled by two puppeteers, who are inside the puppet, wearing low stilts with cleats to maintain balance on the icy stage. Skaters in this segment represent a baby elephant, gazelles and a cheetah.
"Iceploration" presents a nontraditional use of puppets in the barrier-reef scene.
"We've filled these puppets with helium so that they have a sort of a natural buoyancy, and they're basically guided around the stage so it looks like they're floating or swimming in the water," Swenson says. The scene also uses black light for an otherworldly effect.
For the Arctic segment, a group of skaters performs high-energy choreography to form a snowstorm. The boy and his grandfather later arrive by dog sled pulled by four huskies.
In the rain forest, acrobats in monkey costumes are part of a huge production number, Swenson says.
The female soloist skater sports a dragonfly costume. "Not only does she skate in this costume, she also takes a cable flight, where she actually leaves the ice and comes back multiple times throughout the number," Swenson says.
The costumes were created by designer Gregg Barnes, who won a Tony Award for his work on the Broadway production of "The Drowsy Chaperone" in 2006.
"He developed all the costume designs and was actually on property to oversee their construction as well," Swenson says.

Surface matters
Yep, that's the genuine below-freezing article at "Iceploration," the new Busch Gardens ice-skating show.
"It's real ice. It's not synthetic ice or what is often referred to as 'glice,'" says creative director Scott Swenson. It weighs in at 4 tons, he says.
"People don't realize when you have such a massive piece of ice not only how much it weighs but how much water it takes to make something like that," he says. "It's roughly 10,000 gallons of water to make 4 tons of ice."
Maintenance is done multiple times daily to keep the surface as smooth as possible for the skaters and the rest of the cast, he says.
There's a small non-icy rim at the downstage edge that some of the animals walk across.
"And some of them just fly over the ice," Swenson says.
Where: In the Moroccan Palace Theatre at Busch Gardens, 10165 N. McKinley Drive, Tampa
When: Three to five shows daily.
Cost: Included in regular park admission — one-day admission is $77.99 general, $67.99 ages 3-9

I somehow managed to score super low on Anduin Using primarily an all Spirit Deck. I did however use Beorn as my beefcake to take the hits of the Hill Troll. I also continued to rock out my Threat using The Galadhrim's Greeting. The key ingridient to my deck was Stand and Fight.. With Stand and Fight I was able to bring out Beorn after discarding him with Eowyn's ability to discard and up her Willpower. I also run Gleowine to help run through my cards for Beorn and or Stand and Fight. I run all three heroes and always leave Eleanor ready to deal with those pesky Necromancer's Reaches among other things in hopes to keep my damage low. Any The Favor of the Lady that comes up goes to Eowyn. I reshuffle the deck once I use both Galadhrim's Greetings using Will of the West. So with all this the most of it is getting my threat down low and managing it and keeping a bunch of cards in hand. In the end I had all cards in hand except what was in the discard pile, and on the last level if I wanted to just pull it along I suppose I could have reducing my threat to even less and having the last creature sit there until I was ready, but I got impatient and rocked his little world. Dunhere is GREAT for creature management once they are unable to engage you. Now If I could only figure out how to take on the Prison solo.... so hard.
If you see anything you dont understand let me know and I will explain more. Also This was not a 50 card deck as I only have 1 core set and Didnt want to muddy up the mechanics with a second sphere. So might not be as good if running a 50 card deck. but hopefully with the next set I will be able to make it work on a full Spirit Mechanic.

KINGSBURG, Calif. — After an early start to the California table grape season and a fast and furious first half, growers, shippers and marketers say they expect that momentum to continue well past Labor Day.
Vicky BoydGeorge Matoian, sales and marketing director for Visalia Produce Sales Inc., checks the progress of autumn king green seedless grapes in a vineyard near Selma."One of the things that we're anticipating is we're two weeks earlier than last year," said George Matoian, sales and marketing director for Visalia Produce Sales Inc., Kingsburg. "That, coupled with the demand that's also so good, we might see a rise in FOB during the month of September and definitely into the month of October, because we're harvesting a lot more grapes earlier."
During the 2012 season, California harvested 100.1 million 19-pound box equivalents of table grapes, according to the Fresno-based California Table Grape Commission.
The commission in April issued a preliminary estimate for this season of 106.9 million boxes.
Much of the early accelerated movement has been prompted by exceptional quality and stable, promotable prices, Matoian said.
"Flames this year are the best I've ever eaten," said Ron Wikum, grape category sales manager for Bravante Produce, Reedley. "They're off the charts. They're just fantastic. Everything's early this year. I think repeat sales are driving the deal, and we couldn't be happier."
That quality is expected to continue into the fall varieties, such the black seedless autumn royal, the green seedless autumn king, and red seedless scarlet royal and crimson, said Atomic Torosian, managing partner for Fresno-based Crown Jewels Produce.
"I was looking at some vineyards last Friday (July 19) and saw some fruit that's coming up for the late August, September and October period," he said. "The fruit looked over the top with great quality."
Sundale Sales, Tulare, has a variety mix weighted heavily into the later types. With all grapes coming off early, President Sean Stockton said the second half of the season may prove to be a balancing act.
"The whole early part of the season has been early," he said. "It's going to be interesting to see how the middle and the later seasons play out because everything is coming on so fast.
"You have some of these red seedless varieties where the color is moving rapidly. When it all comes on that fast, it can be a tricky situation to try to figure it out."
Like many other grower-shippers, Stockton said this season's grape quality has been some of the best he's ever seen.

Kid Rock Tickets
Hailing from a rural town just outside of Detroit, Kid Rock has established himself as one of Motown's most successful exports of the past two decades. By combining elements of hip-hop, country, and metal, the Midwestern native became one of the most familiar multiple-genre crossover artists in music history, beginning back in 1990 with his debut, "Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast." Purchase Kid Rock tickets and secure seats to hear a sampling of his discography that boasts a pack of instantly recognizable hits, including top-40 singles like "All Summer Long" and "Picture," which he recorded with the talented, Sheryl Crow. Kid Rock tour dates have become a high point for fans looking to annually connect with this down-home musician, as at least one live trek has been booked nearly every year since 1994. A testament to his own eclectic nature, Kid Rock has shared the stage with dozens of diverse artists, among them Bon Jovi, Run D.M.C., and Blink-182.

The turnover bug bit the Statesmen (4-8, 0-4 GSC) early, giving up a total of 13 in the first half of play against the Hawks (9-4, 3-2 GSC), and were unable to mount a second half comeback in the hostile environment on the road.
Delta State coughed the ball up four times in the early minutes of the contest allowing Shorter to streak out to a 9-2 lead and eventually extended that lead to 14-4 at the 13:33 mark before the Statesmen found an offensive rhythm.
The Hawks capitalized off the early Statesmen mistakes, converting 13 turnovers into 15 points to take a 28-19 lead into the locker room.
Terry Leake, Jr. led the way once again posting nine points on 4-of-7 shooting from the field while gathering in five rebounds in the first half. Leake, Jr. finished the night with 14 points and six rebounds.
The Statesmen looked to make a comeback in the second half of play but it came a few minutes too late as the Hawks opened the second half with another 9-2 run to extend the lead out to 37-21 with 17:21 remaining.
Michael Weems spurred the offensive surge from the Statesmen by connecting on all four of his three-point attempts in the second half. The Milwaukee, Wisc. Native finished the night with 15 points, shooting 5-of-8 from the field and 5-of-6 from behind the arc along with seven rebounds.
Delta State pulled to within nine, 48-39 on a Jack Madgen jumper with 9:02 left on the clock, but that was as close as the Statesmen could get to the Hawks in the contest. Madgen closed out the contest with a total of 11 points on 5-of-11 shooting.
The Statesmen return to action on Saturday, traveling to Spragins Hall in Huntsville, Ala. to take on the Chargers of Alabama-Huntsville. Tip is scheduled for 7 p.m. and will be broadcast on the Statesmen Sports Network.
