This book is a Divine allegory, which represents the love between Christ and his church of true believers, under figures taken from the relation and affection that subsist between a bridegroom and his espoused bride; an emblem often employed in Scripture, as describing the nearest, firmest, and most sure relation: see ( Psalm 45 , Isaiah 54:5 Isaiah 54:6 , Jeremiah 2:2 , Jeremiah 3:1 ) ; also in Ezekiel, Hosea, and by our Lord himself, ( Matthew 9:15 , Matthew 25:1 ) : see also ( Revelation 21:2 Revelation 21:9 , Ephesians 5:27 ) . There is no character in the church of Christ, and no situation in which the believer is placed, but what may be traced in this book, as humble inquirers will find, on comparing it with other Scriptures, by the assistance of God the Holy Spirit, in answer to their supplications. Much, however, of the language has been misunderstood by expositors and translators. The difference between the customs and manners of Europe, and those of the East, must especially be kept in view. The little acquaintance with eastern customs possessed by most of our early expositors and translators, has in many cases prevented a correct rendering. Also, the changes in our own language, during the last two or three centuries, affect the manner in which some expressions are viewed, and they must not be judged by modern notions. But the great outlines, rightly interpreted, fully accord with the affections and experience of the sincere Christian.
The title. (1) The church confesses her deformity. (2-6) The church beseeches Christ to lead her to the resting-place of his people. (7,8) Christ's commendation of the church, Her esteem for Him. (9-17)
Verse 1 This is "the Song of songs," excellent above any others, for it is wholly taken up with describing the excellences of Christ, and the love between him and his redeemed people.
Verses 2-6 The church, or rather the believer, speaks here in the character of the spouse of the King, the Messiah. The kisses of his mouth mean those assurances of pardon with which believers are favoured, filling them with peace and joy in believing, and causing them to abound in hope by the power of the Holy Ghost. Gracious souls take most pleasure in loving Christ, and being loved of him. Christ's love is more valuable and desirable than the best this world can give. The name of Christ is not now like ointment sealed up, but like ointment poured forth; which denotes the freeness and fulness of the setting forth of his grace by the gospel. Those whom he has redeemed and sanctified, are here the virgins that love Jesus Christ, and follow him whithersoever he goes, ( Revelation 14:4 ) . They entreat him to draw them by the quickening influences of his Spirit. The more clearly we discern Christ's glory, the more sensible shall we be that we are unable to follow him suitably, and at the same time be more desirous of doing it. Observe the speedy answer given to this prayer. Those who wait at Wisdom's gate, shall be led into truth and comfort. And being brought into this chamber, our griefs will vanish. We have no joy but in Christ, and for this we are indebted to him. We will remember to give thanks for thy love; it shall make more lasting impressions upon us than any thing in this world. Nor is any love acceptable to Christ but love in sincerity, ( Ephesians 6:24 ) . The daughters of Jerusalem may mean professors not yet established in the faith. The spouse was black as the tents of the wandering Arabs, but comely as the magnificent curtains in the palaces of Solomon. The believer is black, as being defiled and sinful by nature, but comely, as renewed by Divine grace to the holy image of God. He is still deformed with remains of sin, but comely as accepted in Christ. He is often base and contemptible in the esteem of men, but excellent in the sight of God. The blackness was owing to the hard usage that had been suffered. The children of the church, her mother, but not of God, her Father, were angry with her. They had made her suffer hardships, which caused her to neglect the care of her soul. Thus, under the emblem of a poor female, made the chosen partner of a prince, we are led to consider the circumstances in which the love of Christ is accustomed to find its objects. They were wretched slaves of sin, in toil, or in sorrow, weary and heavy laden, but how great the change when the love of Christ is manifested to their souls!
Verses 7-8 Observe the title given to Christ, O Thou whom my soul loveth. Those that do so, may come to him boldly, and may humbly plead with him. Is it with God's people a noon-time of outward troubles, inward conflicts? Christ has rest for them. Those whose souls love Jesus Christ, earnestly desire to share in the privileges of his flock. Turning aside from Christ is what gracious souls dread more than anything else. God is ready to answer prayer. Follow the track, ask for the good old way, observe the footsteps of the flock, look what has been the practice of godly people. Sit under the direction of good ministers; beside the tents of the under shepherds. Bring thy charge with thee, they shall all be welcome. It will be the earnest desire and prayer of the Christian, that God would so direct him in his worldly business, and so order his situation and employment, that he may have his Lord and Saviour always before him.
Verses 9-17 The Bridegroom gives high praises of his spouse. In the sight of Christ believers are the excellent of the earth, fitted to be instruments for promoting his glory. The spiritual gifts and graces which Christ bestows on every true believer, are described by the ornaments then in use, ver. ( 10-11 ). The graces of the saints are many, but there is dependence upon each other. He who is the Author, will be the Finisher of the good work. The grace received from Christ's fulness, springs forth into lively exercises of faith, affection, and gratitude. Yet Christ, not his gifts, is most precious to them. The word translated "camphire," signifies "atonement or propitiation." Christ is dear to all believers, because he is the propitiation for their sins. No pretender must have his place in the soul. They resolved to lodge him in their hearts all the night; during the continuance of the troubles of life. Christ takes delight in the good work which his grace has wrought on the souls of believers. This should engage all who are made holy, to be very thankful for that grace which has made those fair, who by nature were deformed. The spouse (the believer) has a humble, modest eye, discovering simplicity and godly sincerity; eyes enlightened and guided by the Holy Spirit, that blessed Dove. The church expresses her value for Christ. Thou art the great Original, but I am but a faint and imperfect copy. Many are fair to look at, yet their temper renders them unpleasant: but Christ is fair, yet pleasant. The believer, ver. ( 16 ) , speaks with praise of those holy ordinances in which true believers have fellowship with Christ. Whether the believer is in the courts of the Lord, or in retirement; whether following his daily labours, or confined on the bed of sickness, or even in a dungeon, a sense of the Divine presence will turn the place into a paradise. Thus the soul, daily having fellowship with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, enjoys a lively hope of an incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading inheritance above.
Solomon 1:1-17 . CANTICLE I.--(Solomon 1:2-2:7')--THE BRIDE SEARCHING FOR AND FINDING THE KING.
1. The song of songs--The most excellent of all songs, Hebrew idiom ( Exodus 29:37 , Deuteronomy 10:14 ). A foretaste on earth of the "new song" to be sung in glory ( Revelation 5:9 , 14:3 , 15:2-4 ).
Solomon's--"King of Israel," or "Jerusalem," is not added, as in the opening of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, not because Solomon had not yet ascended the throne [MOODY STUART], but because his personality is hid under that of Christ, the true Solomon (equivalent to Prince of Peace). The earthly Solomon is not introduced, which would break the consistency of the allegory. Though the bride bears the chief part, the Song throughout is not hers, but that of her "Solomon." He animates her. He and she, the Head and the members, form but one Christ [ADELAIDE NEWTON]. Aaron prefigured Him as priest; Moses, as prophet; David, as a suffering king; Solomon, as the triumphant prince of peace. The camp in the wilderness represents the Church in the world; the peaceful reign of Solomon, after all enemies had been subdued, represents the Church in heaven, of which joy the Song gives a foretaste.
2. him--abruptly. She names him not, as is natural to one whose heart is full of some much desired friend: so Mary Magdalene at the sepulchre ( John 20:15 ), as if everyone must know whom she means, the one chief object of her desire ( Psalms 73:25 Matthew 13:44-46 Philippians 3:7 Philippians 3:8 ).
kiss--the token of peace from the Prince of Peace ( Luke 15:20 ); "our Peace" ( Psalms 85:10 , Colossians 1:21 , Ephesians 2:14 ).
of his mouth--marking the tenderest affection. For a king to permit his hands, or even garment, to be kissed, was counted a great honor; but that he should himself kiss another with his mouth is the greatest honor. God had in times past spoken by the mouth of His prophets, who had declared the Church's betrothal; the bride now longs for contact with the mouth of the Bridegroom Himself ( Job 23:12 , Luke 4:22 , Hebrews 1:1 Hebrews 1:2 ). True of the Church before the first advent, longing for "the hope of Israel," "the desire of all nations"; also the awakened soul longing for the kiss of reconciliation; and further, the kiss that is the token of the marriage contract ( Hosea 2:19 Hosea 2:20 ), and of friendship ( 1 Samuel 20:41 , John 14:21 , 15:15 ).
thy love--Hebrew, "loves," namely, tokens of love, loving blandishments.
wine--which makes glad "the heavy heart" of one ready to perish, so that he "remembers his misery no more" ( Proverbs 31:6 Proverbs 31:7 ). So, in a "better" sense, Christ's love ( Habakkuk 3:17 Habakkuk 3:18 ). He gives the same praise to the bride's love, with the emphatic addition, "How much" ( Solomon 4:10 ). Wine was created by His first miracle ( John 2:1-11 ), and was the pledge given of His love at the last supper. The spiritual wine is His blood and His spirit, the "new" and better wine of the kingdom ( Matthew 26:29 ), which we can never drink to "excess," as the other ( Ephesians 5:18 ; compare Psalms 23:5 , Isaiah 55:1 ).
3. Rather, "As regards the savor of thy ointments, it is good" [MAURER]. In Song of Solomon 4:10 Song of Solomon 4:11 , the Bridegroom reciprocates the praise of the bride in the same terms.
thy name--Christ's character and office as the "Anointed" ( Isaiah 9:6 , 61:1 ), as "the savor of ointments" are the graces that surround His person ( Psalms 45:7 Psalms 45:8 ). Ecclesiastes 7:1 , in its fullest sense, applies to Him. The holy anointing oil of the high priest, which it was death for anyone else to make (so Acts 4:12 ), implies the exclusive preciousness of Messiah's name ( Exodus 30:23-28 Exodus 30:31-38 ). So Mary brake the box of precious ointment over Him, appropriately ( Mark 14:5 ), the broken box typifying His body, which, when broken, diffused all grace: compounded of various spices, &c. ( Colossians 1:19 , 2:9 ); of sweet odor ( Ephesians 5:2 ).
poured--( Isaiah 53:12 , Romans 5:5 ).
therefore--because of the manifestation of God's character in Christ ( 1 John 4:9 1 John 4:19 ). So the penitent woman ( Luke 7:37 Luke 7:38 Luke 7:47 ).
virgins--the pure in heart ( 2 Corinthians 11:2 , Revelation 14:4 ). The same Hebrew is translated, "thy hidden ones" ( Psalms 83:3 ). The "ointment" of the Spirit "poured forth" produces the "love of Christ" ( Romans 5:5 ).
4. (1) The cry of ancient Israel for Messiah, for example, Simeon, Anna, &c. (2) The cry of an awakened soul for the drawing of the Spirit, after it has got a glimpse of Christ's loveliness and its own helplessness.
Draw me--The Father draws ( John 6:44 ). The Son draws ( Jeremiah 31:3 , Hosea 11:4 , John 12:32 ). "Draw" here, and "Tell" ( Solomon 1:7 ), reverently qualify the word "kiss" ( Solomon 1:2 ).
me, we--No believer desires to go to heaven alone. We are converted as individuals; we follow Christ as joined in a communion of saints ( John 1:41 John 1:45 ). Individuality and community meet in the bride.
run--Her earnestness kindles as she prays ( Isaiah 40:31 , Psalms 119:32 Psalms 119:60 ).
after thee--not before ( John 10:4 ).
king . . . brought me into--( Psalms 45:14 Psalms 45:15 , John 10:16 ). He is the anointed Priest ( Solomon 1:3 ); King ( Solomon 1:4 ).
chambers--Her prayer is answered even beyond her desires. Not only is she permitted to run after Him, but is brought into the inmost pavilion, where Eastern kings admitted none but the most intimate friends ( Esther 4:11 , 5:2 , Psalms 27:5 ). The erection of the temple of Solomon was the first bringing of the bride into permanent, instead of migratory, chambers of the King. Christ's body on earth was the next ( John 2:21 ), whereby believers are brought within the veil ( Ephesians 2:6 , Hebrews 10:19 Hebrews 10:20 ). Entrance into the closet for prayer is the first step. The earnest of the future bringing into heaven ( John 14:3 ). His chambers are the bride's also ( Isaiah 26:20 ). There are various chambers, plural ( John 14:2 ).
be glad and rejoice--inward and outward rejoicing.
in thee--( Isaiah 61:10 , Philippians 4:1 Philippians 4:4 ). Not in our spiritual frames ( Psalms 30:6 Psalms 30:7 ).
remember--rather, "commemorate with praises" ( Isaiah 63:7 ). The mere remembrance of spiritual joys is better than the present enjoyment of carnal ones ( Psalms 4:6 Psalms 4:7 ).
upright--rather, "uprightly," "sincerely" ( Psalms 58:1 , Romans 12:9 ); so Nathanael ( John 1:47 ); Peter ( John 21:17 ); or "deservedly" [MAURER].
5. black--namely, "as the tents of Kedar," equivalent to blackness ( Psalms 120:5 ). She draws the image from the black goatskins with which the Scenite Arabs ("Kedar" was in Arabia-Petræa) cover their tents (contrasted with the splendid state tent in which the King was awaiting His bride according to Eastern custom); typifying the darkness of man's natural state. To feel this, and yet also feel one's self in Jesus Christ "comely as the curtains of Solomon, marks the believer ( Romans 7:18 , &c. Romans 8:1 ); 1 Timothy 1:15 , "I am chief"; so she says not merely, "I was," but "I am"; still black in herself, but comely through His comeliness put upon her ( Ezekiel 16:14 ).
curtains--first, the hangings and veil in the temple of Solomon ( Ezekiel 16:10 ); then, also, the "fine linen which is the righteousness of saints" ( Revelation 19:8 ), the white wedding garment provided by Jesus Christ ( Isaiah 61:10 , Matthew 22:11 , 1 Corinthians 1:30 , Colossians 1:28 , 2:10 , Revelation 7:14 ). Historically, the dark tents of Kedar represent the Gentile Church ( Isaiah 60:3-7 , &c.). As the vineyard at the close is transferred from the Jews, who had not kept their own, to the Gentiles, so the Gentiles are introduced at the commencement of the Song; for they were among the earliest enquirers after Jesus Christ ( Matthew 2:1-12 ): the wise men from the East (Arabia, or Kedar).
daughters of Jerusalem--professors, not the bride, or "the virgins," yet not enemies; invited to gospel blessings ( Song of Solomon 3:10 Song of Solomon 3:11 ); so near to Jesus Christ as not to be unlikely to find Him ( Solomon 5:8 ); desirous to seek Him with her ( Solomon 6:1 ; compare Solomon 6:13 , Song of Solomon 7:1 Song of Solomon 7:5 Song of Solomon 7:8 ). In Song of Solomon 7:8 Song of Solomon 7:9 , the bride's Beloved becomes their Beloved; not, however, of all of them ( Solomon 8:4 ; compare Luke 23:27 Luke 23:28 ).
6. She feels as if her blackness was so great as to be gazed at by all.
mother's children--( Matthew 10:36 ). She is to forget "her own people and her father's house," that is, the worldly connections of her unregenerate state ( Psalms 45:10 ); they had maltreated her ( Luke 15:15 Luke 15:16 ). Children of the same mother, but not the same father [MAURER], ( John 8:41-44 ). They made her a common keeper of vineyards, whereby the sun looked upon, that is, burnt her; thus she did "not keep her own" vineyard, that is, fair beauty. So the world, and the soul ( Matthew 16:26 , Luke 9:25 ). The believer has to watch against the same danger ( 1 Corinthians 9:27 ). So he will be able, instead of the self-reproach here, to say as in Solomon 8:12 .
7. my soul loveth--more intense than "the virgins" and "the upright love thee" ( Song of Solomon 1:3 Song of Solomon 1:4 , Matthew 22:37 ). To carry out the design of the allegory, the royal encampment is here represented as moving from place to place, in search of green pastures, under the Shepherd King ( Psalms 23:1-6 ). The bride, having first enjoyed communion with him in the pavilion, is willing to follow Him into labors and dangers; arising from all absorbing love ( Luke 14:26 ); this distinguishes her from the formalist ( John 10:27 , Revelation 14:4 ).
feedest--tendest thy flock ( Isaiah 40:11 , Hebrews 13:20 , 1 Peter 2:25 , 5:4 , Revelation 7:17 ). No single type expresses all the office of Jesus Christ; hence arises the variety of diverse images used to portray the manifold aspects of Him: these would be quite incongruous, if the Song referred to the earthly Solomon. Her intercourse with Him is peculiar. She hears His voice, and addresses none but Himself. Yet it is through a veil; she sees Him not ( Job 23:8 Job 23:9 ). If we would be fed, we must follow the Shepherd through the whole breadth of His Word, and not stay on one spot alone.
makest . . . to rest--distinct from "feedest"; periods of rest are vouchsafed after labor ( Isaiah 4:6 , 49:10 , Ezekiel 34:13-15 ). Communion in private must go along with public following of Him.
turneth aside--rather one veiled, that is, as a harlot, not His true bride ( Genesis 38:15 ), [GESENIUS]; Or as a mourner ( 2 Samuel 15:30 ), [WEISS]; or as one unknown [MAURER]. All imply estrangement from the Bridegroom. She feels estranged even among Christ's true servants, answering to "thy companions" ( Luke 22:28 ), so long as she has not Himself present. The opposite spirit to 1 Corinthians 3:4 .
8. If--she ought to have known ( John 14:8 John 14:9 ). The confession of her ignorance and blackness ( Solomon 1:5 ) leads Him to call her "fairest" ( Matthew 12:20 ). Her jealousy of letting even "His companions" take the place of Himself ( Solomon 1:7 ) led her too far. He directs her to follow them, as they follow Him ( 1 Corinthians 11:1 , Hebrews 6:10 Hebrews 6:12 ); to use ordinances and the ministry; where they are, He is ( Jeremiah 6:16 , Matthew 18:19 Matthew 18:20 , Hebrews 10:25 ). Indulging in isolation is not the way to find Him. It was thus, literally, that Zipporah found her bridegroom ( Exodus 2:16 ). The bride unhesitatingly asks the watchmen afterwards ( Solomon 3:3 ).
kids--( John 21:15 ). Christ is to be found in active ministrations, as well as in prayer ( Proverbs 11:25 ).
shepherds' tents--ministers in the sanctuary ( Psalms 84:1 ).
9. horses in Pharaoh's chariots--celebrated for beauty, swiftness, and ardor, at the Red Sea ( Exodus 14:15 ). These qualities, which seem to belong to the ungodly, really belong to the saints [MOODY STUART]. The allusion may be to the horses brought at a high price by Solomon out of Egypt ( 2 Chronicles 1:16 2 Chronicles 1:17 ). So the bride is redeemed out of spiritual Egypt by the true Solomon, at an infinite price ( Isaiah 51:1 , 1 Peter 1:18 1 Peter 1:19 ). But the deliverance from Pharaoh at the Red Sea accords with the allusion to the tabernacle ( Solomon 1:5 , Song of Solomon 3:6 Song of Solomon 3:7 ); it rightly is put at the beginning of the Church's call. The ardor and beauty of the bride are the point of comparison; ( Solomon 1:4 ) "run"; ( Solomon 1:5 ) "comely." Also, like Pharaoh's horses, she forms a great company ( Revelation 19:7 Revelation 19:14 ). As Jesus Christ is both Shepherd and Conqueror, so believers are not only His sheep, but also, as a Church militant now, His chariots and horses ( Solomon 6:4 ).
10. rows of jewels--( Ezekiel 16:11-13 ). OLERIUS says, Persian ladies wear two or three rows of pearls round the head, beginning on the forehead and descending down to the cheeks and under the chin, so that their faces seem to be set in pearls ( Ezekiel 16:11 ) implies the vital energy of the bride; this verse, her superadded graces ( Proverbs 1:9 , 4:9 , 1 Timothy 2:9 , 2 Peter 1:5 ).
11. We--the Trinity implied by the Holy Ghost, whether it was so by the writer of the Song or not ( Genesis 1:26 , Proverbs 8:30 , 30:4 ). "The Jews acknowledged God as king, and Messiah as king, in interpreting the Song, but did not know that these two are one" [LEIGHTON].
make--not merely give ( Ephesians 2:10 ).
borders of gold, with studs of silver--that is, "spots of silver"--Jesus Christ delights to give more "to him that hath" ( Matthew 25:29 ). He crowns His own work in us ( Isaiah 26:12 ). The "borders" here are equivalent to "rows" ( Solomon 1:10 ); but here, the King seems to give the finish to her attire, by adding a crown (borders, or circles) of gold studded with silver spots, as in Esther 2:17 . Both the royal and nuptial crown, or chaplet. The Hebrew for "spouse" ( Solomon 4:8 ) is a crowned one ( Ezekiel 16:12 , Revelation 2:10 ). The crown is given at once upon conver sion, in title, but in sensible possession afterwards ( 2 Timothy 4:8 ).
12. While--It is the presence of the Sun of Righteousness that draws out the believer's odors of grace. It was the sight of Him at table that caused the two women to bring forth their ointments for Him ( Luke 7:37 Luke 7:38 , John 12:3 , 2 Corinthians 2:15 ). Historically fulfilled ( Matthew 2:11 ); spiritually ( Revelation 3:20 ); and in church worship ( Matthew 18:20 ); and at the Lord's Supper especially, for here public communion with Him at table amidst His friends is spoken of, as Solomon 1:4 refers to private communion ( 1 Corinthians 10:16 1 Corinthians 10:21 ); typically ( Exodus 24:9-11 ); the future perfect fulfilment ( Luke 22:30 , Revelation 19:9 ). The allegory supposes the King to have stopped in His movements and to be seated with His friends on the divan. What grace that a table should be prepared for us, while still militant ( Psalms 23:5 )!
my spikenard--not boasting, but owning the Lord's grace to and in her. The spikenard is a lowly herb, the emblem of humility. She rejoices that He is well pleased with her graces, His own work ( Philippians 4:18 ).
13. bundle of myrrh--abundant preciousness (Greek), ( 1 Peter 2:7 ). Even a little myrrh was costly; much more a bundle ( Colossians 2:9 ). BURROWES takes it of a scent-box filled with liquid myrrh; the liquid obtained by incision gave the tree its chief value.
he--rather, "it"; it is the myrrh that lies in the bosom, as the cluster of camphire is in the vineyards ( Solomon 1:14 ).
all night--an undivided heart ( Ephesians 3:17 ; contrast Jeremiah 4:14 , Ezekiel 16:15 Ezekiel 16:30 ). Yet on account of the everlasting covenant, God restores the adulteress ( Ezekiel 16:60 Ezekiel 16:62 , Hosea 2:2 , &c.). The night is the whole present dispensation till the everlasting day dawns ( Romans 13:12 ). Also, literally, "night" ( Psalms 119:147 Psalms 119:148 ), the night of affliction ( Psalms 42:8 ).
14. cluster--Jesus Christ is one, yet manifold in His graces.
camphire--or, "cypress." The "hennah" is meant, whose odorous flowers grow in clusters, of a color white and yellow softly blended; its bark is dark, the foliage light green. Women deck their persons with them. The loveliness of Jesus Christ.
vineyards--appropriate in respect to Him who is "the vine." The spikenard was for the banquet ( Solomon 1:12 ); the myrrh was in her bosom continually ( Solomon 1:13 ); the camphire is in the midst of natural beauties, which, though lovely, are eclipsed by the one cluster, Jesus Christ, pre-eminent above them all.
En-gedi--in South Palestine, near the Dead Sea ( Joshua 15:62 , Ezekiel 47:10 ), famed for aromatic shrubs.
15. fair--He discerns beauty in her, who had said, "I am black" ( Solomon 1:5 ), because of the everlasting covenant ( Psalms 45:11 , Isaiah 62:5 , Ephesians 1:4 Ephesians 1:5 ).
doves' eyes--large and beautiful in the doves of Syria. The prominent features of her beauty ( Matthew 10:16 ), gentleness, innocence, and constant love, emblem of the Holy Ghost, who changes us to His own likeness ( Genesis 8:10 Genesis 8:11 , Matthew 3:16 ). The opposite kind of eyes ( Psalms 101:5 , Matthew 20:15 , 2 Peter 2:14 ).
16. Reply of the Bride. She presumes to call Him beloved, because He called her so first. Thou callest me "fair"; if I am so, it is not in myself; it is all from Thee ( Psalms 90:17 ); but Thou art fair in Thyself ( Psalms 45:2 ).
pleasant--( Proverbs 3:17 ) towards Thy friends ( 2 Samuel 1:26 ).
bed . . . green--the couch of green grass on which the King and His bride sit to "rest at noon." Thus her prayer in Solomon 1:7 is here granted; a green oasis in the desert, always found near waters in the East ( Psalms 23:2 , Isaiah 41:17-19 ). The scene is a kiosk, or summer house. Historically, the literal resting of the Babe of Beth-lehem and his parents on the green grass provided for cattle ( Luke 2:7 Luke 2:12 ). In this verse there is an incidental allusion, in Solomon 1:15 , to the offering ( Luke 2:24 ). So the "cedar and fir" ceiling refers to the temple ( 1 Kings 5:6-10 , 6:15-18 ); type of the heavenly temple ( Revelation 21:22 ).

Tall ones, flat ones, wedged ones, sueded ones….Shoes. For sure, my sweetest downfall. Thank you very much, Regina Spektor….you said it well.
And when sweetest downfalls come from Anthro (or Chie Mihara….a…ahem…..), well, I get an acute case of the crapihavetohavethese.
So thankfully my case of the crapihavetohavethese hit right in the same week as my pay day. Phew.
They are every bit as awesomely comfortable and lusciously lavender as they seem. Especially on my friend Paul…Paul Bunion. Yes, I have a pesky bunion on my right foot that I affectionately named Paul during college. Paul is picky about shoes and gets pretty testy with me if shoes squish him. Faryl Robin seduced Paul quite nicely with these Mixed Media Heels. If you're thinking about these lavender lovelies, do it. Pull the trigger. I don't think they'll last.
Remember when I said I'd take part in the colorphilication challenge too? It boiled down to this: I am a sucker for mustard yellow. Therefore, the following inspiration won.
But since I'm refined and totally above stealing clothing off of people's backs (okay, just barely…..), I used my own stuff.
I've gotta say, I'm kinda definitely loving the trend of pairing intense color hues so closely related that they could clash but don't, that is, if they're styled right. "Play nice, kids"….that's what it reminds me of; two really intense kids with definite personalities and they both wanna be the boss.
It's a good show when two bulls meet their match, you know?
So sorry…but I got behind on my posting this past week. Ruffle slip tutorial to come! More requested stylings to post, Little Man baby shower, DIY's, and Anthro talk. Always Anthro talk.
xoxo Molly

Great family vacation property!
We rented this great 4 bedroom, 2 bath home in the Catskills for a family summer vacation for 1 week in July. As we booked this sight unseen, only using photos online, we were not sure what to expect. We were thrilled when we arrived. The house is large, spacious, comfortable, and has anything you can think of. From a huge great room with several different seating areas, a screened in porch room (my personal favorite), a huge kitchen with an eating island and a large dining area attached with a huge table that seats 10 people with no problem. There is a washer/dryer, 2 full bathrooms with tubs & showers, 4 bedrooms (3 Queen beds, 1 children's room with bunkbeds/a crib/single bed, and another bonus room with a futon). This property easily sleeps 6-10 people comfortably, including babies & children. The property manager even provided a baby high chair based on my request for one. There were 2 flat screen TVs (a large one in the living room over the fire place & another upstairs), but believe me you won't be thinking about watching TV. We didn't even turn it on at all for a week which with 5 young children ages 1.5-15 was a huge accomplishment. The grounds are spectacular, flowers growing all over, beautifully maintained landscaping, a lilly pond with frogs & salamanders, a large above ground pool, hot tub suitable for adults, and a full playground/swingset for younger children. The hammock was a big hit with the kids (and the adults the few times they let us lay on it). We were able to relax, enjoy time with the family, and cook our own meals (which not only saved lots of money, but also made it a really bonding experience). Close by are several things to do, including hiking, Howe caverns, a petting zoo (@ 2 hrs away), water park (ZoomFloom), supermarket, and several restaurants. I believe there is great skiing in the area as well, but we were there during the summer. Finally, the property managers Home Sweet Home were beyond accomodating - they catered to our every request quickly, efficiently, and with a smile. I would definitely recommend this for a family get-away or even a couples escape!

The NYCC Queens chapter is organizing with homeowners, parents and other community members to address key issues in South East Queens like foreclosures and education. Recent actions have targeted big banks like Chase and Citibank for their role in the foreclosure crisis in Queens. Members are currently organizing to expand membership, get toxic PCBs out of South East Queens public schools, and continuing to take the foreclosure fight to the big banks. Read More »

The NYPD policy of Stop-and-Frisk has been the subject of countless news articles over the past few months and promises to be an important issue in the upcoming mayoral election. Today new evidence shows that the NYPD finds most of the guns outside of the areas where the most Stop-and-Frisks take place. This evidence further proves that Stop-and-Frisk is an ineffective method to policing and must be significantly reformed. Read More »

State worker says management sought to silence his criticismBy Peter Hirschfeld
Vermont Public Radio | April 26,2014Labor disputes between state workers and their employer generally play out behind closed doors, where union representatives and administration lawyers exchange testimony in confidence.
But John Howe, a counselor at the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation, has chosen a different route. And Thursday afternoon, his union colleagues marched with him as he walked to the Montpelier hearing room where he was to be interrogated about the alleged workplace violations that led to his placement on paid administrative leave last month.
The only way to actually change the playing field, to make it fair for management and labor, is to be vocal about it and expose the process, Howe says.
Last month, the state began its investigation of Howe. But on Wednesday, Howe struck back, suing the state in Vermont Superior Court in Chittenden County. Howe says his supervisors launched a campaign of retaliation after he criticized management practices at the department where he works. Howe has also decided to try his case in the court of public opinion.
The allegations against Howe include allowing a nonstate employee to authorize public expenditures and to use his state-issued cellphone. But Howe and his union lawyers say the charges are frivolous, manufactured as punishment for his testimony earlier this year about the use of contract workers at the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation.
Howe works as a counselor at the department, where he tries to get indigent and disabled clients jobs, shelter and medical care.
Howe says hes been an employee in good standing for 18 years, earning an excellent rating in his most recent performance review, as well as a $500 merit bonus. But he says supervisors brought the hammer down on him shortly after he testified before lawmakers about what he says is an increasing reliance on low-wage labor for duties formerly performed by betterpaid government employees.
Im making public statements, Im going public, and increasingly severe disciplinary actions are taking place around me, Howe says. I believe theyre investigating to find whatever they can to eliminate me and silence me.
Kate Duffy, the commissioner of the Department of Human Resources, says the administration encourages and appreciates employee testimony at the State House, critical or not.
Let me just say first and foremost: We support union activity, Duffy says. We support employees going to the Legislature and sharing the information that they have. Retaliation for those activities is completely inappropriate.
But Duffy says its troubling to see Howe and the union going public with claims of retaliation for which shes seen no hard evidence.
Simply because some things have happened, you cant just assume that theyre all causally related, Duffy says. We dont even know whether his managers knew about the activity that he was engaged in.
But Howes union lawyers say the circumstantial evidence is damning. Rebecca McBroom, associate general counsel at the Vermont State Employees Association, is representing Howe in his civil case.
Well, one thing that youre always looking at when youre deciding whether there is retaliation for protected activity is the timeline, McBroom says. And that is, has someone engaged in protected activity and then (faced) continuous adverse action by their employer or intimidation tactics by their employer.
Howe and McBroom say the states actions are designed not just to silence Howe, but to send a message to other state workers who might otherwise alert lawmakers or the public to waste, inefficiency or incompetence in state government.
The waste comes because state workers cant point out that theres waste and abuse in the system, Howe says. They can see it. But because of the culture of the government the culture of silence they cant speak out.
Howe is asking a judge to stop the states investigation of him. Howe is also seeking compensatory damages. Duffy says the state is continuing its probe into alleged wrongdoing by Howe, as well as Howes claims of retaliation by his supervisors.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER The first Legislature in the country to pass an aid-in-dying law may revisit the...

The Custom Brush Guide: Fabric & costume
The various options offered by today's painting software are not only making it possible for digital artists to recreate all of the effects of traditional media, but also enabling them to create their own brushes of a kind that were inaccessible to the old masters. Such custom brushes – made manually or extracted from photographs – are a wonderful and innovative way to add texture to paintings and have now become a standard tool among digital artists.
In the first part of this three-part workshop, published last issue, I presented various useful brushes for painting characters. In this part I am going to look at costumes and the brushes that might be useful for creating, or speeding up the process of painting various elements of clothing and accessories. I created the custom brushes outlined here in Photoshop (see the DVD assets box for where to download them), but, where possible, I am also sharing Painter's brush settings for achieving similar effects.

Biology is a multidisciplinary cutting-edge field encompassing the vast diversity of life from the smallest amino acid to ecosystem dynamics. The biology program at SUNYIT provides an in-depth introduction to the breadth of the discipline through core courses while maintaining the flexibility to explore one of three specialization tracks.
- The Life Science track is for students who have an interest in biology on an organismal or physiological level and wish to study the roles and interdependence that organisms have within an ecological system.
- The Bioinformatics track is for students who have an interest in using computers to analyze genetic information or protein structure and functions.
- The Biotechnology track (anticipated 2015) is for students who are interested in biology on a molecular or chemical level in such areas as biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology.Biology brochure(pdf)
Why SUNYIT?
Courses are taught by full-time faculty who are dedicated to quality education through scholarship and research.

- Make the base: Put the flour into a large bowl, then stir in the yeast and salt. Make a well, pour in 200ml warm water and the olive oil and bring together with a wooden spoon until you have a soft, fairly wet dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 mins until smooth. Cover with a tea towel and set aside. You can leave the dough to rise if you like, but it's not essential for a thin crust.
- Make the sauce: Mix the passata, basil and crushed garlic together, then season to taste. Leave to stand at room temperature while you get on with shaping the base.
- Roll out the dough: If you've let the dough rise, give it a quick knead, then split into two balls. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into large rounds, about 25cm across, using a rolling pin. The dough needs to be very thin as it will rise in the oven. Lift the rounds onto two floured baking sheets.
- Top and bake: Heat oven to 240C/fan 220C /gas 8. Put another baking sheet or an upturned baking tray in the oven on the top shelf. Smooth sauce over bases with the back of a spoon. Scatter with cheese and tomatoes, drizzle with olive oil and season. Put one pizza, still on its baking sheet, on top of the preheated sheet or tray. Bake for 8-10 mins until crisp. Serve with a little more olive oil, and basil leaves if using. Repeat step for remaining pizza.

OHHHHHH this looks good. I like it.
Absolutely love this recipe. Tend to always make it with mascarpone, pesto, roasted red peppers and mushrooms - when you've found something this good it's hard to try other combinations! I find it's much better if you don't let the dough rise and if you make the base sauce in advance to let the flavours combine.

Eagles by the Numbers
October 9th, 2013One of the most famous bands of all time is coming to American Airlines Center once again; the Eagles. On top of having seven No.1 singles and six Grammy awards they also have the No. 1 selling album of all time "Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)." The Eagles were the first-ever band to play at American Airlines Center and on October 11th and 12th they will be back once again. Let's take a look at Eagles by the numbers.
1- The number of words in the band's name. Even though "The" is the most used word in the English language, the band's name is simply, "Eagles." Another interesting fact — in this post, the word "the" is used 27 times.
7- Total number of times the Eagles have played at American Airlines Center.
8- The average number of vacation days a full time US employee gets. According to Glenn Frey, the band never broke up. "For the record, we never broke up; we just took a 14-year vacation." Sounds pretty nice doesn't it?
10- Approximately the percent of people who are left-handed in this world. Even though Glen Frey is lefthanded, he plays the guitar with his right hand.
425- The number of dollars it would cost to book a room at the Beverly Hills Hotel on October 12th. The Beverly Hills Hotel is the cover photo for the Eagles album "Hotel California." There is a Hotel California in Santa Monica. For $204 dollars you can book a room there for October 12th.
908- Number of miles from American Airlines Center to Winslow, Arizona. It would take an estimated $96 in gas for a car that gets 35 miles to the gallon to get there from here. The Eagles helped put Winslow on the map with their song "Take It Easy." In the song the band wrote a line that says "standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona."
2,300- The number of carpool "HOV" lane miles in the United States — 70% of these lanes are in California. Although "Life in the Fast Lane" may not be about HOV lanes, they sure do make people's lives easier.
Over 100,000- The number of total tickets sold for the previous 7 sold out shows at American Airlines Center.
668,185- The number of dollars Don Henley has donated to political campaigns between 1878 and 2008.
We hope to see you at American Airlines Center October 11th and 12th when the Eagles bring the "History of the Eagles" tour here. Don't forget to follow us on Twitter (@insideaacenter), Instagram (@insideaacenter), and Facebook (/insideaacenter) for up to date concert and sports information including contests.

Dardanelles Campaign
Dardanelles Campaign
(1915–16) Unsuccessful British-led operation against Turkey in World War I, intended to invade the Dardanelles strait, conquer the Gallipoli peninsula, and occupy Constantinople (Istanbul). In response to a Russian appeal to relieve pressure against its troops on the Caucasus front, Britain agreed to a naval action against Turkey at the Dardanelles. When bombardment alone failed, British and Australian and New Zealand (ANZAC) troops landed on the Gallipoli peninsula in April 1915, where they met strong resistance from Turkish forces under Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. After six months of standoff, the campaign was halted and Allied troops were skillfully withdrawn under difficult conditions. Allied casualties numbered about 250,000. The failed campaign gave the impression that the Allies were militarily inept, prompting the resignation of Winston Churchill, the chief promoter of the venture, as first lord of the admiralty.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
Editors' note: Toshiba officially announced it will stop producing HD DVD products, bringing an end to the format war. For that reason, CNET recommends that people avoid buying this player for high-definition movie playback.
For home theater buffs, Toshiba has been the face of HD DVD in the format war. Toshiba delivered the first ever standalone HD DVD player, the HD-A1, and followed it up with a full second-generation line including the HD-A2, HD-A20, and HD-XA2. Coming into the 2007 holiday season, Toshiba is rolling out its third-generation line of HD DVD players, which delivers more of an evolutionary upgrade than any big new functionality. The $400 HD-A30 is right in the middle of the lineup, offering 1080p output (at both the 60- and 24-frames per second rate) as a step-up to the cheaper 1080i-only HD-A3, but lacking high-resolution bitstream audio output found on the $500 HD-A35. And all third-generation models lack the excellent HQV video processing of the HD-XA2, which remains available.
Overall, we couldn't help but feel that the HD-A30 was extremely similar to its predecessor--the HD-A20--which isn't a good thing, as 1080p output on both players is disappointing. Don't get us wrong, there's a lot to like about HD DVD hardware compared to Blu-ray hardware, such as its lower cost and stronger mandatory requirements. And if your HDTV can accept and properly display 1080p/24, the HD-A30 delivers excellent picture quality as well. The problem is that the vast majority of HDTVs can't handle 1080p/24 properly, which means that for most people, the HD-A30 just doesn't justify the price premium over the HD-A3.
From afar, the Toshiba HD-A30 largely looks the same as its predecessor, with a glossy black front panel and a silver strip down the middle. Up close, there are some significant differences. The front panel controls (play, pause, fast forward/ rewind) are now right on the player, instead of under a flip-down panel like on the HD-A20. There is still a flip-down panel, but it's very small on the left side and houses a single "extension" port, which could eventually be used to add more storage to the unit. Aside from that, the A30 is even more glossy than its predecessor, plus it has a more curved look compared to the boxy second-generation models.

The Sentry 6120 Droplet Size Monitor provides real-time, in-cab droplet size information, according to a news release.
Applying too small or large a droplet can promote drift and reduce efficacy.
The stand-alone unit displays boom operating pressure and corresponding droplet size category. It provides both audible and visual alarms if the system deviates from the predetermined range.
The Matrix Pro GS displays guidance and live video simultaneously.
Up to eight RealView cameras can be used to monitor multiple machine operations as well as guidance information.
It also has the NextRow feature that guides operators through turns in row crops, helping find the correct rows to steer between for the next pass.

HRC Honors Black History Month
February 1, 2012 by HRC staff
HRC celebrates Black History Month and the African-American leaders who've worked tirelessly to advocate for equality. We're proud to count these strong voices as part of our community, from civil rights leader Julian Bond to Newark Mayor Cory Booker, both among the first to join the Americans for Marriage Equality campaign.
"The lessons learned from the civil rights movement teaches us to walk with our heads held high," said HRC Associate Director of Diversity Donna Payne. "February is a time to reflect on the many African American leaders who have paved the way for equality."
We salute and celebrate these and countless other African-American leaders – straight allies and LGBT people – each February as part of Black History Month. HRC is thankful each and every day that we can draw strength from the diversity of the LGBTcommunity and our allies. Some of HRC's most important initiatives – such as the Historically Black Colleges and Universities program – demonstrate that African-American LGBT people and straight allies are critical to winning the fight for equality.
"We are honored to follow their footsteps and not give up on our fight for equality," said Payne.

Ask Slashdot: I Just Need... Marketing?
Don't give away the farm (212 comments)
First- you need a market strategy. Who are you selling to (retailers, clubs, direct to the public). Pick you staff appropriately. Second - don't offer partnership at the outset, offer shares and partnership on a conditional basis. Make the offer fair to the people you want to bring on and CLEARLY structured in terms of performance metrics. Third- you will need to offer a draw against a commission. Make a percentage of sales deal with sweeteners (such as aforesaid partnership) for milestones. Put it in writing. Stick to it. Fourth- If you can find a marketer with experience with the retail segment and the specific retailers they will probably give you the best results quickly, but they may not be the best partners. Only you can gauge what the sales volumes need to be, and therefore only you can set the targets. The marketer can tell you if they feel the targets are way off. Also remember, in any game all the players rate the percentage due to them too highly.

MARANA - A device found outside a Marana apartment complex this morning was made to look like a pipe bomb, but is an apparent hoax, law enforcement officials say.
Marana Police say one of the residents at The Springs apartment complex off Cortaro Road spotted the suspicious object this morning while walking his dog.
Police officers, fire department personnel and the Pima Regional Bomb Squad were brought in. Several neighbors were evacuated from their apartments and some buildings were taped off.
The bomb squad determined that the object was not a viable threat, but a hoax made to look like an explosive with wires, batteries and containers.
Police say this is a felony and they will begin an investigation into who was behind this.

Is overregulation killing entrepreneurship?
{ 2 comments }

Is this a rhetorical question?
- 2 07.06.09 at 10:31 am
Well, duh. Of course it is. That's the whole point of it. The rhetoric of people like President Obama notwithstanding, statists dislike innovation and entrepreneurialship because they're both disruptive factors that make statist control of society more difficult or impossible. If you're in the business of telling other people how to live and how to run their affairs, innovation and entrepreneurialship are problems that need to be fixed, not virtues to be encouraged.

The Daily Troll: Police chief names leak out. One recipe for police reform. Seattle transit plan filed.
Police chief candidates
Four leading prospects have emerged in the search for Seattle's next top cop. They include previously identified Kathleen O'Toole, a former Boston police commissioner, Elk Grove (California) Chief Robert Lehner and two Arizonans: Mesa Police Chief Frank Milstead and Patrick Melvin, chief of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community Police Department. KIRO Radio reporter Brandi Kruse broke the top four list; Mayor Ed Murray actually linked to her story in a blog post. The same post in which his chief search committee co-chairs, Ron Sims and Pramila Jayapal, said they hadn't wanted the names of any candidates to get out this early in the search process. Murray isn't expected to make a choice until mid-May.
Police reform recommendations
Seattle's Community Police Commission, created as part of the city's police reform plan, today released an initial set of 55 recommendations for creating greater police accountability. The recommendations include not allowing training to be used as a substitute for disciplinary action, setting time limits for the police chief's final decisions on any disciplinary actions against officers and for any appeals to be resolved. Those issues were front and center during the Murray administration's clunky handling of seven disciplinary actions against SPD officers: The administration overturned all seven before reinstating one in the face of media reports.
The commission will release recommendations for structural reforms later. For now, Commission leaders warned City Hall not to pick off parts of the current package without considering the whole. Obviously, they know how City Hall likes to work.
Seattle Transit initiative
4:45 p.m. A group calling itself Friends of Transit filed a ballot measure today that would raise up to $155 million in property taxes over six years to protect most bus service in Seattle from threatened Metro Transit cuts. Group leader Ben Schiendelman said, "This is the most progressive tax option we have available to us, and we should use it. Seattle residents have repeatedly shown they will approve a levy lift for the things they care about, and we know they care deeply about their buses." The measure must be reviewed by the City Clerk's Office before signature gathering begins.
A first-look analysis of voting patterns by Crosscut's Benjamin Anderstone shows that the failed countywide Proposition 1 for transit did extremely well in the city but bombed elsewhere, including on the Eastside. Metro has a draft plan to make a first round of cuts in September.
Amazon to shippers: Love us or lose us?
Amazon is making deliveries with its own trucks in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York. It's a test — and not a total surprise: As a Wall Street Journal article notes, Jeff Bezos telegraphed the development in his annual letter to shareholders when he noted the company making its own deliveries in the United Kingdom, and promised more innovationis on the way. It's likely, says the Journal, that Amazon would continue to use UPS, FedEx and the like for some shipments, no matter how the delivery tests go. But, hey, if you spy Amazon trucks dropping off something other than groceries around town, shoot an email to email@example.com.
Flood at awful spot: State Archives
Workers arriving at the State Archives in Olympia on Friday found a nightmare scenario: water pouring into the main research room and offices and seeping through the floor onto hundreds of bound volumes containing paper marriage records and other materials from Southwest Washington. "Water is the worst enemy for archives and paper records," says deputy archivist Terry Badger. Fortunately, the first worker arrived early enough (7 a.m.) to avert archival disaster. "In a way, we were lucky," Badger said in a statement distributed by the Secretary of State's Office. "If the water had run all weekend, no telling how much damage it would have done."

Does anyone associated with this "Seattle property tax for county buses" initiative read Crosscut?
Let's identify the lawyers who drafted it and reviewed it before it was filed. That matters. Just look at all of Eyman's initiatives with the constitutional flaws.
Of course, maybe my assumption that these bus fanboys used lawyers is incorrect.
Is this initiative just a DIY job? Maybe it is nothing but the scribblings of dilettantes -- lawyer wannabes who want lots of late-night buses to haul them around.
Posted Mon, Apr 28, 9:30 a.m.
I am curious about how this would work, myself. The city itself would levy a property tax that would put $25.8 million a year into a county department's budget. Would that money only be used on routes that serve the city itself, or would it just be a contribution to Metro's general budget that they could use however they see fit? Does it target particular routes/schedules to save?
Posted Mon, Apr 28, 9:54 a.m.
Here's how it works – you can see what would happen by trying to figure out what happens to all the Seattle-only property tax revenue that already is funneled to King County: it disappears, and is used for countywide administrative expenses.
Seattle already pays big money to King County, supposedly for more bus service:
Seattle already buys about 45,000 hours of bus service from Metro using revenues generated by the Bridging the Gap property-tax levy, approved by voters in 2006, the group said.
Now, talisker, try to identify on Seattle's website how much it paid every year since 2006 for that "additional" bus service. Good luck. Then try to identify on the county's website any information about what amounts were received from Seattle, and what the county did with those amounts.
Think you can find any kind of paper trail demonstrating that only Seattle residents benefited from additional bus service? Try it, and post the links you find. Hint: this scheme of the city taxing property owners to give revenue to the county is a taxpayer ripoff.

Slip and slide prank could prevent some from graduating
The graduation ceremony is still more than a week away, but the question among seniors at Jacobs High on Friday is will all of their classmates be able to participate?"
That's what it sounded like Thursday in the hallway at Jacobs high school in Algonquin.
And that's what it looked like as seniors carried out this year's senior prank.
"It was supposed to be fun, you know, just a slip and slide. Nothing really bad or anything. It was supposed to be just a tarp in the middle of the hallway. And then we brought a bunch of soap, baby oil, water, and we just started slip and sliding."
"I thought it was pretty hilarious. No one has ever done that before, and i just thought it was pretty cool."
But school administrators didn't think it was cool at all and called police.
"In my opinion they kind of over reacted because all it is is a slip and slide, and they called the cops and had like a lock in place, and that caused everybody to be stuck in their classrooms for i think ten minutes or so."
School officials say students were only ordered back to class so the mess could be safely cleaned up.
There's a chance those who participated won't be allowed to walk in this year's graduation.
"I feel bad for those students, but this is a point in their life that they have to understand that the decisions that they make do have consequences. They're going from being children to adults at this point, and as an adult when you make a mistake you have to pay the consequences."
No decision about possible discipline has been made.
It's not clear at this time if that decision will be made by administrators today or early next week.

Tough as it is to pick what I love most about Diane's look here, the killer color combo wins. Click through to shop similar red, black and white dresses now.

My favorite part of Diane Kruger's look last night at the opening of Eugene Onegin, the Metropolitan Opera's first production of the season, was not her simple sideswept chignon or her dewy makeup. It wasn't the impeccable tailoring on her Prabal Gurung gown, either, or the dramatic way its hem slightly lifted in the front to show off her white pointy-toe pumps. No, what I loved most about the model-turned-actress' ensemble was its restrained palette of white, red and black. Besides being an incredibly elegant combo, it's also one that flatters everyone—which brings me the second best part of her outfit: it's easy to copy. Find a version for yourself in the slideshow above.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Taz!
Facts about Taz
- Breed: Basenji/Pug Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Taz's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Taz is a vivacious three year old tan and brown male Basenji/Pug mix who was found in East Los Angeles on December 9th and brought to the Downey Animal Care Center. He weighs fourteen pounds. He doesn't bark or shed. He is super super smart. He is super friendly, gets along well with other dogs of all sizes and we believe he will do beautifully with children.Taz is a joyful dog who loves to take walks and will make a fabulous indoor pet for an individual or family in any living situation.
Other Pets at Pugs N Roses - Sparks, NV
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Taz, a Sparks Basenji/Pug dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Basenji/Pug for sale in Sparks, or seeking a Basenji/Pug dog from a breeder in Sparks.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Sparks already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Sparks breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Basenji/Pug breeders who help with Basenji/Pug rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Sparks paves the way for another one to be saved.

Commercially available robotic hands are often expensive, customized for specific platforms, and difficult to modify. It is typically impractical to experiment with alternate end effector designs. This results in researchers needing to compensate in software for intrinsic and pervasive mechanical disadvantages, rather than allowing software and hardware research in manipulation to co-evolve.
The Yale OpenHand Project is a movement to advance the design and use of robotic hands designed and built through rapid-prototyping techniques in order to encourage more variation and innovation in mechanical hardware.
This project intends to establish a series of open-source hand designs, and through the contributions of the open-source user community, result in a large number of useful design modifications and variations available to researchers.
While advances in rapid-prototyping, shape deposition manufacturing (SDM), and dieless deposition manufacturing (DDM) have made it increasingly tractable to make custom parts expediently and on-demand, design choices must be made to make robotic hands suitable for repeated functional use, not just design prototyping. Hands developed through this project are designed to be minimalistic and rugged, especially appropriate for iterative design and operation in unstructured environments.
The released hand designs feature tendon-driven underactuated fingers. Underactuated hands have been shown to improve the generality of simple grippers by adaptively conforming to the surface of objects without the explicit need for sensors or complicated feedback systems. This design paradigm separates the actuation and finger elements, enabling a greater degree of customization.
The source CAD files allow for variable configurations, allowing users to quickly change functional parameters (ie. link lengths, transmission ratios) and manufacturing parameters (ie. shell thicknesses, hole dimensions) and have those changes propagate across all relevant parts.
Based on the original SDM Hand, the Model T is the OpenHand Project's first released hand design. the four underactuated fingers are differentially coupled through a floating pulley tree, allowing for equal force output on all finger contacts. All finger joints are flexure-based, made with Smooth-On polyurethane. An alternative design with pin-based base joints is also available.
A more dexterous alternative to the Model T, the Model T42 contains two underactuated, flexure-based fingers, each driven independently bya Dynamixel servo. This type of hand, has been shown to be adept at both in-hand manipulation and precision grasping.

The flowers have only been open for a couple days, and we can already smell its raspberry fragrance in the morning. This must be one of the most inappropriately named of all orchids.
