In 1977 three canvases by Orazio Gentileschi turned up in London. Their subjects paralleled a passage of the Genoese historian R. Soprani (1674), who mentions a Penitent Magdalene, a Lot and His Daughters and a Danae as the first canvases painted by the artist for his patron Giovanni Antonio Sauli, when he followed him to Genoa (1621 to 1623/4). Benedict Nicolson compares the style of these with that of variants and derivations such as the Magdalenes at Broomhall/New York, Dijon, Lucca and Vienna, the Lots and His Daughters in Berlin, Bilbao, Ottawa and Burghley House, the Danae in the Cleveland Museum of Art. The Berlin and the Cleveland pictures he assumes to be autograph versions executed in Genoa - the latter being possibly the picture known to have been sent from Genoa to Marie de' Medici, Queen of France, and the former a gift of the Cardinal of Savoy to the Marqués de Leganés - whereas the Ottawa picture must have been painted by Gentileschi in France (1624/26) or on arrival in England. The change from the painterly approach of the three Sauli canvases to enamel-like forms and clarity of definition testifies to Gentileschi's development from a romantic view of the world towards an idiosyncratic classicism, as he approaches the English shores.
For Titian's Three Ages of Man (Duke of Sutherland Collection, on loan to the National Gallery of Scotland), the traditional title does not adequately account for some features. There is, for instance, the possibility of a narrative content as suggested by the parallel with methods of illustrating Ovidian stories in early printed texts. In particular, the psychological relationship between the young man and the girl implies that the subject is a story, as well as an emblem of human life. But, beyond both story and emblem, the painting seems, like the Sacred and Profane Love, to point to a poetic reality beyond this-worldly; not only the vanity of human love is represented but also its regenerating power.
The subject of this study concerns the question of what visual examples Renaissance humanists, such as Poggio, had in mind in recommending and designing cycles of paragons of heroic virtue for contemporary patrons. Because the humanists were conscious that the notion of uomini famosi, which they regarded as an antique one, had virtually died out in medieval times, and because no antique artistic precedent is known to have survived, the search of Poggio and his contemporaries for antique example was limited to literary mention. Study of citations by Greek and Roman authors whose works were known at least in fragmentary form to Renaissance humanists reveals that Poggio and his contemporaries were correct in holding up the example of the ancients. Indeed it would appear that the practice is a far more ancient and extensive one than Poggio had imagined. The artistic tradition of rewarding merit through public art is one which appears to have been known in Egyptian, Babylonian, Persian, Greek and Roman cultures and to have been expressed in programs in sculpture, painting, tapestry and the minor arts.
The paper attempts to reconstruct Rembrandt's process of working on the Portrait of Jan Six (Amsterdam, Six Collection). The sitter's attire, posture, facial traits are viewed in comparison with contemporary portraits such as Rubens' Self-Portrait (Vienna), Van Dyck's Lord John and Lord Bernard Stuart (London, Lady Louis Mountbatten Collection), Hals' Portrait of an Unknown Man (Washington). The etching, Portrait of Jan Six, together with the preparatory drawings are included. Jan Six is suggested as a possible model for Rembrandt's Aristotle Contemplating a Bust of Homer (New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art), owing to his facies nigra of a man predisposed to Melancholia.
In Guernica Picasso uses the imagery of the bullfight. However, he reverses the relationship between the bull and a victim, the horse, by referring to the legend of Bellerophon's taming of Pegasus. In Picasso's first preliminary drawing, the tame, friendly bull is shown with the trusting horse resting by his side. As the horse gains in strength and dignity, and moves closer to the kerosene lamp, he becomes "radicalized", while the bull, alienated, disappears from the scene. These developments may be observed in the drawings and photographs of various stages of the painting that have been preserved. The woman's head flying in through the window from "outside" represents Russia. The kerosene lamp she brings in alludes to the help Russia gave the Republican Government, the Loyalists, during the Spanish Civil War (1937). The electric bulb represents the industrial countries France and Great Britain which maintained neutrality. The significance of the kerosene lamp is emphasized by the woman on the lower right, a victim recovering from shock or trauma, who gazes intently at the lamp. The man lying on the ground, his head converted into a bust with classical associations, tells the story of Guernica.

Have you been wanting to grow long hair, but feeling short on the patience it requires? I've sure been there – I want long hair like nobody's business, but waiting for my hair to grow feels like waiting in an endless line at Disneyland.
It's like this: you want the gorgeous long locks that you see on other girls, but it seems almost impossible to get. Will it ever happen? Below, we've included a few important things to know as well as some helpful tips to help you learn how to grow long, healthy hair more quickly.
First of all, you need to understand that when it comes to growing long hair, every person has an actual genetically determined lifespan for their hair. This means that your body lets each strand of hair grow for a certain number of years. At the end of the lifespan, an individual strand will then simply fall out by shedding naturally or simply falling out during a shampoo or while the hair is being brushed.
In addition to the lifespan of a person's hair, each person's hair grows at a different rate. So, both things will influence your individual potential for getting long hair (along with a few additional factors we'll discuss below). For instance, girls who have an easy time maintaining waist-length locks genetically have a longer lifespan for their hair, and may also naturally have hair that grows faster than girls who struggle to get it past their shoulders.
Finally, maintaining healthy hair (which depends on the care and overall treatment you give your hair) has a huge impact on your ability to grow long hair.
Just like our bodies, we start off with what we have been given genetically. After that, it's up to how we treat our bodies that determines how we will look overall. If you want to know how to get long hair, understand that each of us may have an easier or harder time getting our hair to grow long due to genetics, but there are definitely things we can do to make the most of what we've got:
How to Make Your Hair Grow Longer
Be gentle with your hair. Treat it as if it were delicate tissue paper. This will result in far less breakage than if you pull, twist and mess with it. Some of you are going to hate me, but this includes not twirling your hair! I, for one, have a horrible habit of twirling my hair non-stop. I've tried to quit. Guess I've just got to try harder. Playing with your hair is one of the worst things you can do.. your hair breaks off at an alarming rate when you regularly twirl it.
Don't tease your hair. When you tease your hair, you actually comb against the cuticle, roughing it up which makes the hair appear dull. When the cuticle is sealed and remains flat and straight, it reflects light and appears shinier. In addition to diminished shine, teasing your hair also weakens the strand and makes it extra vulnerable to breakage.
When brushing or combing your hair, start from the ends first. This minimizes tangles. Be gentle as you begin brushing and any tangles you do come across will come out much easier. If your hair is wet, be extra gentle since your hair can stretch and break when it's wet. The best thing to use on wet hair is a wide tooth comb instead of a brush.
Use a deep conditioner. This is a hair care essential. For most people with normal to dry hair, we recommend deep conditioning once a week or so. But if you have very dry or color-treated hair, and you're trying to grow it out, you will probably want to use a deep conditioner every time you wash your hair, or at least every few days.
Don't use heat when styling your hair. Yes, this one may be practically impossible for most of you, but experts agree that heat styling (drying, curling or straightening) causes your hair to be much more dry and brittle. If you absolutely must use heated styling tools, use a high quality heat protectant product before styling.
De-Stress! Stress inhibits hair growth, causing it to thin. The hair that does grow is typically delicate and brittle, resulting in easy breakage.
Eat healthy. This is probably one of the most important things you can do. Good nutrition is the foundation for growing healthy hair. Protein, essential fatty acids (like omega 3) and other nutrients will help tremendously in giving you strong, healthy, shiny hair. Taking a high quality multi-vitamin can really help as well. The stronger and healthier your hair, the more easily and quickly it will grow.
Trim your ends regularly. Many people claim that trimming your ends makes your hair grow faster. It doesn't actually make it grow more quickly because it grows from the root, not the tip. However, regular trims keep the ends even and healthy. When they are irregular, dry and straggly, they break much more easily. Keeping them nicely trimmed will actually help you get the length you want more quickly simply because it will eliminate much of the breakage you would otherwise have. Plus, since growing hair long does take time, your hair will look much better along the way.

Girl gone green: Ballerina turns builder in Fifeville
As Hope Sowell takes a visitor through her modern, light-filled house in Charlottesville's Fifeville neighborhood, she takes special pride in showing the spacious ground floor space, divided into living room, kitchen, and office. Three picture windows look onto the long green lawn. A bar with stools separates the bright lime kitchen from the living area. By the back door, a deep purple bathroom sports a wall of many mirrors, and out the back door the builder laid a simple patio.
Sowell, however, is no ordinary 20-something hostess boasting about decor; she is a builder who constructed this energy efficient house, and she did it essentially on her own.
Tall and athletic, Sowell says she's always been handy. She was drawn to construction work the summer after she finished high school when she got a job with a framing crew.
"At first, I just dug ditches and used the jackhammer," says Sowell, "but then I started building."
Ten years later, Sowell's charming contemporary house– with its small, square footprint, its tall height, and boldly colored panels– stands out like a Mondrian painting in the midst of simple, twentieth century cottages on King Street in Charlottesville's Fifeville neighborhood.
Sowell herself must have stood out herself working on construction crews in Pittsylvania County near Danville. No one in her family was in the building trades, except for a grandfather, a plumber who lived far away.
Still, the seeds of her construction career were sown early, although she was never one to shun girly activities, enjoying Legos and dolls equally as a child. Instead of sports, she notes, "I went the ballet route."
In 1998, Sowell came to the University of Virginia as an architecture student, but soon switched to urban planning. She had already decided to become a builder and wanted a broader scope of study. For practical experience, she continued to work summer jobs in construction and did one stint on the maintenance crew for the Architecture School.
Despite her drive and growing experience, finding a job was not always easy in the male-dominated construction industry. "A lot of places I'd call to see if they needed any help," she recalls. "They would say, 'No ma'am, I don't think so.'"
Despite rejections, Sowell says she pushed on.
"I used to try to prove myself." Sowell explained. At Lowe's they would say, "Do you need help loading these boards?" and I would say "No."
Confidence changed that.
Now I say, "Yes, you can do it!" she laughs. "I don't think building a good reputation is about proving yourself physically. It's more about doing good work."
After college, she joined the Clinton-launched public service program Americorps and landed a job in Charlottesville for Habitat for Humanity.
"She worked her fanny off," recalls Diane Hogshire, Habitat's then assistant director who hired Sowell. Indeed, Sowell says, she felt burned out after long hours at Habitat including some 60-hour weeks– but she wasn't put off construction.
Albemarle Housing Improvement Project (AHIP) hired Sowell as a crew leader, but it wasn't long before she set out on her own with a contract to do a construction job in the high-end Farmington neighborhood.
"I had my truck," she says, "and I had my tools." Sowell Construction and Design was launched.
After completing the Farmington job, she built a home addition "from the ground up," remodeled a two-car garage into a family room, and renovated a series of bathrooms.
"I like to do bathrooms because I can use my design skills and don't get bored," she notes
Former Habitat exec Hogshire has hired Sowell to do several home renovations, the last a complete redesign of her own master bathroom. She describes Sowell as "a rare talent, innovative and flexible."
"She can hear your ideas," Hogshire notes, "because she doesn't have a giant ego."
After doing multiple jobs for others, Sowell bought a fixer-upper for herself on West Street. Enjoying the process of restoring her own living space, it wasn't long before Hope saw the lot on King Street and envisioned building her own house on the land. "I could afford it," she says she realized. "I got a loan for construction and to pay myself."
She also hired an assistant, Ross McDermott, a photographer with little construction experience.
"He had a good attitude," says Sowell.
Ross is equally flattering of his building mentor, praising her ability to design, build and serve as interior decorator.
As for her gender, McDermott claims anyone who doubts she's tough or strong enough need only spend a few hours working alongside her.
"I'd hire her in a heartbeat," he says. "She outworked me sometimes."
As for the finished product– her own house– it's small, 1,150 square feet, but it seems much larger because of the Sowell's use of space and light. The house stands on a 60- by 150-foot lot which cost $90,000. Everything else, materials, subcontractors and her own salary came to $136,000.
The green features begin outside, where a narrow, permeable gravel walk leads to her bright red front door. A natural wood staircase leads up to a huge white room with many windows. In one corner, Sowell made a small loft for a guest bed and under it a bathroom with a big soaking tub for a tired carpenter.
Green features of her masterpiece are significant: ultra-insulation, passive solar heat, energy-efficient appliances and non-toxic finishes and paint. Sowell has plans to add an extra room on the back and to cover the patio.
Sowell subcontracted out the concrete foundation and footers, the spray-in foam insulation, and the drywall. For those jobs she wanted people with the proper tools and expertise.
"I knew people I trusted," she says, noting, "It actually boosted my self-esteem to manage the subcontractors."
The construction took five months to complete, from early December of 2007 to the 1st of May of 2008. During that time Sowell worked only at her site, paying herself from her loan as if she were a client.
Her neighbors have been accepting, if not entirely positive.
"Most are an older generation, and I imagine they are not into modern design," Sowell muses. "But I doubt if we should perpetuate some of those older designs. At some point, you need to break the mold and do something new."

Any chance you'll have an open house, this looks terrific. Congratulations Hope, this is inspirational. As a woman I've started several businesses and the one thing I'd say is don't wait until you know enough to begin, just start and learn by doing and don't worry about being perfect no one is, the best way to learn something is by doing it

Flank pain, haematuria and poor patient compliance: beware the 'forgotten' JJ stent!
Yusuf Seedat; Ahmed Adam*
A 40-year-old man presented with right-sided flank pain of sudden onset and intermittent macroscopic haematuria that had been present for the past 3 months. He had had a hospital admission for a right ureteric stone 3 years previously, where some 'intervention' had been performed. He had been told to return for a follow-up visit, but had defaulted as he felt well after being discharged.]]> The patient was clearly distressed, with right-sided renal angle tenderness and severe suprapubic pain. A plain supine abdominal film (Fig. 1) and non-contrast computed tomography (CT) scan (Fig. 2) revealed an encrusted 'forgotten' JJ stent with a significant associated secondary stone burden.
A renogram confirmed that the right kidney had been severely affected by the subsequent stone burden, now contributing only 10.32% of the overall renal function.]]>
Ureteral JJ stents are invaluable in endo-urological practice, as they provide free drainage from the kidney to the bladder and are effective in relieving and preventing upper urinary tract obstruction.1 However, complications occur in up to one-third of patients,2,3 which most commonly include stent encrusation, stent migration, stent fracture and secondary stone formation.1 Other complications include dysuria, frequency, vesico-ureteric reflux and ureteral fistula.3 For stents that have lost their radio-opaque coating or when radiography is contraindicated, ultrasonography is the diagnostic modality of choice.1
Treatment usually involves endoscopic removal of the retained stent. For stents with a high stone burden, the use of a combination of percutaneous nephrolithotripsy, extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, electrohydraulic lithotripsy, laser lithotripsy and percutaneous chemolysis may be necessary, with clearance rates of up to 100% being achieved.4
Careful selection of patients who stand to benefit most from JJ stent insertion is essential to prevent unnecessary complications.1 Some patients may disregard counselling concerning the stent's impermanent nature, the need for a return visit for its timeous removal and subsequent intervention.
This is particularly relevant in settings with poor patient compliance, inadequate record keeping, language barriers, ineffective follow-up strategies and limited access to specialised health care. The presence of a 'forgotten' JJ stent in patients presenting with flank pain and haematuria should be considered, as it may have devastating consequences if left undetected.
We would like to thank Drs J van Heerden and R Roux of the Department of Radiology, Kalafong Hospital, for assisting with the images.

Qinna in Uechi
Qinna or Chi'na is the area of a Chinese martial art that deals with what the Japanese systems would see in Jujitsu or Aikido. (And perhaps more. )
While similar it has a different flavour to it than the Japanese approach.
"Different" folks just a different flavour.
It has been commented on this forum before that pretty much all Chinese systems have some Qinna in them. Some are heavier with it than others.
The two main forms of Bagua went separate ways when the founder of Bagua taught a person strong in striking bagua and a person strong in Qinna. They each focused Bagua on their strengths.
Where I am going with this is that as a system that came from China Uechi has many Qinna moves. Those who have studied Jujitsu as well as Uechi find them to be a great match.
I read once that when Uechi Kanbun Sensei began teaching in Japan he of course drew martial artists to his school. As many of these where well trained in the grappling arts of Japan his school focused on the striking areas to fill in their gaps or holes.
Interesting that today some cross train in grappling styles to fill that hole in Uechi. What goes around comes around.
Of course there would be some claiming now that is not Uechi when really it is or it should be.
Odd that some cannot see the depth and riches that are in Uechi and choose to turn a blind eye claiming, things that come straight from the Uechi Kata, are not Uechi. Baffles me greatly but that is another thread.
And my round about point is that Uechi is a very hands on system so once you get a hold of them then you should be able to do things with them. And this is where Qinna comes in.
An aside: Some don't like Taiji and yet it is rich with Qinna. When my friend Rick Bottomley asked Joseph Chen (Chen Taiji) when they would learn Qinna, Joseph replied you are learning Qinna. Taiji is Qinna.
So along with our striking I see that Uechi should also be rich in Qinna.

The Wabash College chapter of the Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta brought home top honors at the fraternity's "State Day" in February.
Psi Chapter earned the Beta Cup as the top undergraduate chapter in Indiana, which was one of five first place awards. Senior Tyler Wade was named Best Member in the State for his outstanding leadership on campus.
"Psi Chapter's performance at State Day is reflection of the cabinet's hard work this year," said Chapter Advisor and Professor Dan Rogers. "The chapter revamped pledge education and made sure that scholarship was a first priority. Both the freshmen and upperclassmen have performed at the top of their game this past year. Winning the Beta Cup for best chapter in the state of Indiana is a sign of the chapter's progress and the cabinet's leadership."
State Day, held in Indianapolis, is a leadership development and brotherhood enhancement program sponsored by the international fraternity and focused on the eight chapters of Phi Gamma Delta in Indiana.
In addition to the top prize, the Wabash chapter earned first place awards in Pledge Education Program, Recruitment, Graduate Relations, and Campus Involvement. It received second place in scholarship and second in Most Improved Chapter.
"I'm happy for our men of Phi Gamma Delta and their outstanding leadership team, including alumni and faculty advisors, on this award," said Wabash Dean of Students Mike Raters. "The men have worked hard to meet the high academic standards and fraternal principles set by their national chapter and furthered by generations of Wabash Fijis. This award is a testament to their commitment to those high expectations and those of the College. I'm proud of their accomplishments."
"What really helped us out this year was the risk management practices, and subsequent attendance and safety at FIJI Island; our 'Custom Psi' brother education following initiation; our hosting of groups of brothers from eight different chapters last year; and the attendance of 10 Psi brothers at the chartering ceremonies of new FIJI chapters," said recent past-president Cameron McDougal. "These items were the unique things that set us apart for the Beta Cup.
Most members of the newly initiated Freshman class attended State Day, as well as current officers and past fraternity leaders.
"Our new initiates spent the day in various leadership sessions, and then had a great discussion upon return to campus regarding how to put this knowledge to use," said McDougal.
Dr. Rogers also praised the students on their ongoing efforts to improve relations with alumni. "The students have made great strides in graduate relations," he said. "They were recognized for their well-organized and attended Pig Dinner [graduate reunion dinner] and for reaching out to the Schroeder family and holding a special memorial service for John H. Schroeder '42 and brother of Psi who passed away last April."
The Beta Cup will be displayed in the Psi Chapter library. McDougal said he hopes it serves as a constant reminder for the brothers in the coming year.
"The guys in the house are all very excited. While 'not for the applause of men,' having the Beta Cup should provide us with a great boost of morale, which will make it easier for us to move up to the next level of excellence."
Awards received by the Wabash College Psi Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta at State Day:
Pledge Education: 1st
Recruitment: 1st
Graduate Relations: 1st
Campus Involvement: 1st
Scholarship: 2nd

Event Description
Did you know that International Friendship Day is August 7, 2016?!?! What better way to celebrate than to run/walk the Friends Forever 5K in honor of the friends in our lives. Who is the PEANUT BUTTER to your JELLY? YOU HAVE UNTIL OCTOBER 31st TO SIGN UP AND COMPLETE YOUR RACE!
"There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship."
–Thomas Aquinas
To celebrate we are hosting a VIRTUAL 5K race, where you can choose to run (or walk) a 5K and dedicate to a friend in your life. You will get a Friends Forever 5K medal set and be able to give one of the medals to your friend! Better yet, get your friend to complete the 5K with you! We have 1,000 medal sets and they're already selling fast! Order NOW!
Along with celebrating BEST FRIENDS, we will also be donating at least 20% of each registration to Mike and Brooke Evans, two best friends that are working on starting their own family. They are dear friends to the staff here at Virtual Run Events and we look forward to being able to help make their dreams of becoming parents come true. Our goal is to raise $3,000! Here's their story and our opportunity to make a difference:
We are Mike and Brooke Evans from Orem, UT. We are trying to start our family, but recently found out we will have to use fertility treatments. This is a long and expensive process costing $25-30,000 upfront. We are trying to raise funds to help pay for this. We were able to put ourselves through school and now both work full time, with student loans to pay off. Mike will be returning to school this fall for his Masters degree. We are anxious to raise children and have a family. We love sports, camping, biking, hiking, skiing, having game nights and going on new adventures. We have strong family values and good family support and plan to continue to teach these core values to our children. We will provide a loving and safe home environment and will give each child opportunities to learn and grow. We are excited and nervous to start our fertility journey, and are forever grateful for your support.

Chapter 8 Verse 1
O that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my
mother, when I should find thee without, I would kiss thee: yea, I
should not be despised.
words are a continuation, or rather a renewal of the church's desire after communion with Christ; they contain these three things:
I.An ardent wish for a free and familiar converse with Christ; that he would show himself to her as her brother, and act the part of one unto her; "O that thou weft as my brother:" and her meaning herein is more strongly expressed, by adding, "that sucked the breasts of my mother."
II.A resolution of hers to kiss him when she found him without; "when I should find thee without, I would kiss thee."
III.The opinion which she entertained, that she should not be despised for such an action; "yea, I should not be despised."
I.These words contain an hearty wish of the church's: the words may be read thus, "Who will give thee as a brother to me?"957957yl jak dnty ym dwn se adelfide mou, Sept. Quis mihi det to fratrem meum? Vulgate Latin version: O si quis daret to ut fratrem esse mihi! Junius: Quis det to ut fratrem mihi? Montanus, Mercerus: Quis dabit to tanquam fratrem mihi? Brightman. Utinam quasi frater mihi sis! Tigurine version: Utinam fins mihi ut frater! Cocceius. Such forms of wishing may be seen in many places (see Isa. 14:7; Job 23:2), and the meaning is, that Christ would show himself to her in the relation of a brother; act the part of one towards her; and that she might as freely converse with him, as a brother and sister may and use to do. Several Jewish958958Targum in loc. Zohar in Genesis fol. 104, 1. Caphtor Uperah, fol. 5. 2. & Tzeror Hammor, fol. 73. 3. writers acknowledge, that the King Messiah is intended by the brother here: in what sense Christ stands in such a relation to his church and to all true believers; as also what this wish of hers is expressive of, I shall now consider. And, 1. Christ is the Church's brother by virtue of his incarnation, or the assumption of her nature; they are nearly allied in the bonds of consanguinity; he is of the same flesh and blood with her; and she is flesh of his flesh, and bone of his bone; there is a very great nearness, affinity and likeness Between them, for "in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren;" and it is upon this score that he becomes a brother to them; the words may be considered as the wish of the old church for Christ's incarnation. 2. Christ and believers are of one and the same Father: God is the Father of Christ, and so he is of all his covenant-people; of whom he says (2 Cor. 6:18). "I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters;" which is an instance of his boundless and amazing grace: hence because Christ and believers are sons of the same father, though not in the same way of dilation, he bid Mary Magdalene go to his brethren: and as an evidence of their standing in that relation to him, say unto them, John 20:17, "I ascend unto my father and your father, and to my God and your God:" it is also upon this account that saints become "heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ;" they are heirs of God, because his children; and joint heirs with Christ, because they are his brethren, he being the firstborn among them. 3. Persons may be said to be brethren, by being concerned in one and the same covenant: thus there was a brotherhood between Judah and Israel, which was dissolved by God's breaking his covenant with them (Zech. 11:10, 14). Christ and his people are in one and the same covenant, and in such an one as can never be broken; though as he has the preeminence in all things, as he ought to have, so he has in this; for he is the mediator, surety, and messenger of the covenant; nay he is the covenant itself; he is the foundation on which it stands, and the matter of which it consists; he is the saints representative in it; and because it is made with him, their elder brother, in their name, room and stead, therefore it is said to be made with them, and they share in all the blessings and comforts of it, 4. Persons that are of like nature, temper, dispositions and practices, are said to be brethren: thus Simeon and Levi are said Genesis 49:5, to be brethren; not because of their natural relation, but because of their agreement in their tempers and practices: Christ and believers are brethren in this sense; they are much of the same nature; Christ has assumed their nature, and they are in some measure made partakers of his; principles of grace and holiness from him are wrought in them; nay, he is formed in their hearts; his image is enstamped, and his features are drawn there; there is a very great likeness between them; they are conformed to the image of him who is the first-born among many brethren; hence it is said (Heb. 2:11), that "he that sanctifieth, and they that are sanctified, are all of one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren;" and to the same purpose those words of Christ might be produced, in Matthew 12:50, "for whosoever shall do the will of my father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother." 3. Those who are partners and companions in afflictions, may be also called brethren; hence Job says, chapter 30:29, on the account of his sorrowful and afflicted condition, that he was a "brother to dragons, and a companion to owls:" Christ and believers are brethren in sufferings; though it is true, they were not companions with him in his sufferings, yet he is in theirs the afflictions of the churches are the afflictions of Christ; he bears the heaviest part of them: for what is done to his people he takes as done to himself; and as they suffer with him, so they shall reign with him hereafter in glory, and that for ever. 6. Persons may be called brethren on the score of friendship: thus David, in 2 Samuel 1:26, calls Jonathan his brother; not so much because he had married his sister, but on the account of the mutual friendship that had been between them: in this sense Christ and believers are brethren; he is a friend to them, and such a "friend that sticks closer than a brother;" of which friendship of his towards them, he has given many open and undeniable proofs; he accounts them as his friends, and therefore treats them as such, by frequent visiting of them, disclosing of his secret's to them, and making noble entertainments for them. 7. The church might wish that Christ would manifest himself to her, under this relation of a brother, because of that intimacy, freedom and familiarity, which she might use with him as such; she would kiss him in the open street, take him by the hand, and lead him into her mother's house, and there keep a free conversation with him; as a sister might do with an own brother, and not be reproached for it. 8. Her meaning also may be, that he would act the part of a brother to her that is, that he would be pitiful and compassionate to her, and sympathize with her under all her exercises, as a tender-hearted brother would; and such an one is Christ; he has a fellow-feeling with his people in all their temptations, and gives them all needful succor and relief; in all their afflictions he is afflicted, and has bowels of compassion for them in all their distresses. 9. A brother not only sympathizes with, but condescends to the weaknesses and infirmities of his brethren, it is a wonderful condescension in Christ to stand in this relation to his people, as also not to be ashamed to own it; and being in it, he is capable of showing a great deal of condescension to them in many instances; which the superiority of a father, in which relation he also stands, would not admit of; to which the church might have regard in this wish of hers. 10. The love and affection of a brother is very great, and much to be valued, as Christ's is by the church; for "his loving-kindness is better than life," and all the comforts of it; the manifestations of which the church may well be supposed to desire here, as she did in chapter 1:2, where she says, and what is much the same with this request here; "Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; for thy love is better than wine."
Again, the church's meaning, in this ardent and pathetic wish of hers, is more strongly expressed by adding, that it was such a brother she wished for, "that sucked the breasts of her mother;" in which may be considered, 1st, What this phrase in general intends. 2dly, Who is meant by her mother. 3dly, What by sucking of her mother's breasts.
1st, This phrase in general may intend either, 1. The truth of Christ's human nature; she wishes for his incarnation in the former phrase, and in this, that it might appear to be true and real; of which his conception and birth, his being the child born, and the infant of days, his eating butter and honey, and sucking the breasts of his mother, were sufficient indications. Or, 2. The near relation Christ stands in to his church, being a brother by the mother's side; which relation is accounted the nearest, and the affection of such an one is also the strongest; of which we have an instance in the case of Joseph, to whom Reuben, Judah, Simeon, etc., were brethren, though only by his father's side; and to whom he had a brotherly love, but not so strong an affection as he had to Benjamin, his mother's son; who was such a brother that had sucked the breasts of his mother, as may be seen in Genesis 43:29, 30, 34, such a brother, so nearly related, and of such an affection, the church wisheth for.
2dly, It may also be inquired who is meant by her mother: and this may be, either the church, who may be called so, on the account of the many converts which are born in her: thus Zion is said to travail in birth, and bring forth children (Isa. 66:8), and the Gentile church is said to be the mother of many (Isa. 54:1), and regenerate souls are Frequently called the church's children, in that prophecy: or else, by her mother, we are to understand the covenant of graces "the Jerusalem which is above, which is the mother of us all," (Gal. 4:26), for every converted soul is the birth of an everlasting covenant; hence such are called, in Romans 9:8, the children of the promise; and it is no unusual phrase with the Jews, to call themselves the children of the covenant.
3dly, By sucking the breasts of her mother, may be meant, either, 1. The enjoyment of the grace and blessings of the everlasting covenant; so this phrase of sucking the breasts is used for the enjoyment of blessings (Isa. 60:16), and in this sense Christ may be truly said to suck the breasts of her mother; for all grace is in his hands; every blessing of the covenant he is in possession of; we have all our grace from him, and are blessed with all spiritual blessings only in him. Or else, 2. By these breasts may be meant the word and ordinances; which are breasts of consolation to believers, in whose hearts Christ is formed; so that when they suck the breasts, and are nourished with the sincere milk of the word, and grow thereby, Christ may be said to suck of them, and be nourished by them. Or else, 3. This phrase may be expressive of that familiar intercourse and delightful communion which is between Christ and his church; which is frequently expressed by eating, feasting, and supping together (see chapter 5:1 and Rev. 3:20).
II. The next thing in the words, is the church's resolution to kiss Christ, whenever she found him without: in which may be observed, 1st, The resolution itself, to kiss him. 2dly, The time when she would put this into practice, "when I should find thee." 3dly, The place where she would do this, and that is, without.
1st, We may consider the resolution itself, which is to kiss him; which is no other than what was her duty to do, and what is enjoined all believers; Psalm 2:12. "Kiss the son, lest he be angry." Which may be understood these several ways: 1. There is a kiss of approbation; in this sense the word is used (Prov. 24:26), "Every man shall kiss his lips, that giveth a right answer;" that is, shall approve his sayings, and highly extol and commend him for them: Christ is a person to be liked and approved, being "altogether lovely, and the chiefest among tea thousands;" and so he is by every believer there is none in heaven or earth, that is so much valued by them as he is; they count all things but loss and dung, in comparison of him; they approve of him as their surety and savior, and esteem him in every character and relation he stands in to them. 2. There is a kiss of love and affection, which is used by friends and relations, and that either at meeting or parting thus the prodigal's father fell on his neck and kissed him, when he met him; as did Paul's friends, at parting with him; which kiss of charity, or love, was much used among the primitive saints; and with such a kiss as this, the church kisses Christ, whom she dearly loves, and has the strongest affection for, arising from his love and loveliness: as Christ's kisses, in chapter 1:2, are the lettings out and manifestations of his love to the church; so the church's lips are the lettings forth and manifestations of her love to him: with such a kiss as this, the poor woman kissed Christ, in Luke 7:38, who "began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with ointment; for she loved much," much being forgiven her. 3. There is also a kiss of faith and dependence; and then may souls be said to kiss Christ, when they, as perishing creatures, come and venture their all upon him, give up themselves to him, resolving to have no other savior but him; when they can roll themselves on him, relying on his grace, trusting to his righteousness, when, whilst they are coming out of the wilderness, are leaning upon their beloved; and more especially when they embrace him in the arms of faith, and say, with Thomas, My Lord, and my God. 4. There is a kiss of homage and subjection; so kissing the king's hand, as it is an instance of his grace and favor to his subjects to permit them to do it, so it is a token of their subjection to him; thus Samuel anointed Saul, and kissed him (1 Sam. 10:1), which former act was a declaring him king, the latter an instance of his subjection to him: thus souls may be said to kiss Christ, when they acknowledge him to be their Lord and King, and submit to his laws and ordinances refusing subjection to sin, Satan, and the world. 5. There is a kiss of worship and adoration: the custom of kissing idols very early prevailed among idolatrous people; thus Baal's worshippers kissed him (1 Kings 19:18), as did also the worshippers of Jeroboam's calves (Hoses 13:2), so kissing the hand at the sight of the sun or moon, was esteemed an act of adoration of them in Job's time, chapter 31:26, 27, in the same sense it may be used here; for as Christ is the believer's Lord, he ought to worship him; and that not with a mere civil worship, which may be given to creatures, but with that religious adoration which ought to be given to the most high God; for "all men should honor the son, as they honor the father." When therefore the church or any believer signify their love and liking to Christ, exercise faith upon him, subject themselves unto him, and give him all due worship and adoration, as well as make an open profession of him, then may they be said to kiss him. But,
2dly, She declares the time when she would do this; and that is when she found him: From whence may be observed, 1. That Christ may be sometimes absent from his church and people, which is a very great affliction to them. 2. That they cannot be easy without him, but will be earnestly desirous of his company, and seek for him until they find him, as may be learned from the case of the church, in chapter 3:1-3. 3. That finding Christ, is the comfortable enjoyment of his presence; it is the soul's having nearness to him, and sensible communion with him; which is the time that they can come so near to him as to kiss him.
3dly, The place where she would do this, and that is, without: by which may be meant, either, 1. The Gentile world, which was without the land of Judea; the inhabitants of which are said to be "without, afar off aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, strangers to the covenants of promise, and without hope, and God and Christ in the world;" so that it may be expressive of her desire to find Christ in the Gentile world, and how much her love and affections would be drawn oat to him on that account. Or, 2. By without, or in the street,959959qwbj exw, Sept. foris, Vulgate Latin version, etc. in platen, Montanus,. Brightman, Marckius; or in any public place; is publico. Cocceius; en agrw, al. Interp al Interp apud. ilam Mobil. Not. in Var. Lect. Sept. as it may be rendered, may be meant the public ordinances, where wisdom cries (Prov. 1:20), and where the church sought Christ, chapter 3:2, and where finding him, she owns him, gives him homage and adoration, and lets out her affection to him. Or, 3. It may point out the way, and manner in which she sought him, as well as the place where, which was by going out of herself: Christ is not to be found within but without; believers "go in and out," and so find pasture, food and comfort. Or, 4. By it may be meant any open or public place, where she should not be ashamed to own his person, gospel, ordinances, cause and interest; for those who are ashamed of him and his words before men, he will be ashamed of before his Father and his angels (Mark 8:38). Or, 5. By her finding him and kissing him without, may be meant her going forth to meet him, claiming her interest in him, and signifying her affection to him, before men and angels, at his second coming (see Matthew 25:6).
III.The opinion which she had entertained, that she should not be despised and reproached for such an act as this; yea, "I should not be despised; or, they would not despise me;"960960yl wzb al µn ki< ge ouk exoudenwsousi me, Sept & jam me nemo despiciat, vulgate Latin version; eniam non contemnant me, Montanus; & non faciant contumeliam mihi, Cocceius; neque vero me dispicient, Tigurine version; etiam non contemnerent me, Brightman, Marckius. that is, the people of the land, as the Targum paraphrases it. Now this opinion of hers might arise, 1. From the relation Christ stood into her as a brother; for how unseemly and immodest soever it might be for a maiden in the streets to kiss a stranger, or one not related to her; yet nobody would reproach her for using this freedom with an own brother; which would be accounted as chaste and harmless an action in her, as if she had took a sucking child out of the nurse's arms, and kissed it; no more immodest and unbecoming is this act of the church's; and therefore she concludes, that she should not be despised for it. 2. From the reception she believed that she should meet with from Christ; who would not turn away his face from her, when she made such an offer to him; which would occasion shame and blushing in her, and others to laugh at her; but she was well assured of the contrary, and that it would be kindly accepted by him. 3. From her having so good an husband as Christ; which might be known by this familiarity between them; and whom she had no reason to be ashamed of, nor others to despise her for having none; not to have a husband, being matter of reproach in those days (see Isa. 4:1, 54:4, 5). 4. From her prospect of future fruitfulness she doubted not but that by being married to such an husband, she should bring forth fruit unto God, and so not be despised for being barren and unfruitful; it being accounted reproachful to be so (see 1 Sam. 1:6). 5. It may be expressive of her great love to Christ, and of her boldness and confidence in owning and professing him, without either fear or shame,961961Audacem faciebat amor, Ovid. Metamorph. 50:4. fab. 4. before men and angels; she knew that she could not be justly despised and reproached for it; and if she was, she did not value it. 6. She may have respect to those apprehensions which the wicked will have of the saints in the last day; however mean and despicable the saints may appear to the wicked now, being in a state of imperfection, loaded with reproaches, and attended with a variety of sorrows; yet they will appear otherwise, and that in their apprehensions too another day, when they would be glad to change places and conditions with them; though Lazarus "was despised when he lay in his sores at the rich man's gate," yet he was not when in Abraham's bosom. Thus the church might conclude that how much soever she may be despised now for owning and professing Christ, yet she should not, when she should go forth to meet him at his second coming, and he set at his right-hand in gold of Ophir.

Take a look at yourself from the past. 10 years ago, 15 years ago, 5 years ago. Just pick some random time. Do you think you've learned anything? Is there anything you would tell yourself from that time, if you had a chance?
I'm choosing myself 11 years ago. I would have been 16 years old. The height of my rebellious streak. I had green hair, and always thought I was completely fine being an ass as long as I had my two or three friends. I wasn't too bad. I never vandalized anything, talked back to adults too much or caused fights, but still did a lot of things I regret. I smarted off to people a lot, and did a lot of things to stand out.
I'd like to think I've become at least a little bit wiser, but I don't really know. I still make a lot of the same mistakes. I would tell myself not to try so hard to stick out so much. I look back and cringe at dumb things I did.

Buff UV Half Multifunctional Headband - Black
The BUFF UV Multifunctional Headband offers thermal efficiency, built-in sun protection, seamless construction and the moisture-wicking performance of COOLMAX PRO fiber. Comfortable as a headband or under a helmet, and wearable nine different ways, this versatile multifunctional headband is the choice for hot summer runs, rides, and hikes.
- Product formerly called: UV Half BUFF
- Blocks 95% of UV rays*
- Multifunctional - 9+ Ways to Wear
- 100% seamless construction
- Moisture-wicking, quick-drying, breathable
- COOLMAX PRO performance fiber
- Polygiene fabric treatment helps control odors
- Product Dimensions: (approx.) 9 x 9.5 inches
- Weight: 0.65 ounces
Fabric Content:
- 100% polyester microfiber
Polygiene Active Odor Control: Permanent effect, lasts the lifetime of the garment. Environmentally friendly application.
COOLMAX PRO:A special four-channel fiber forms a transport system that pulls moisture away from the skin to the outer layer of the fabric. It then dries that moisture faster than any other fabric to thermoregulate the body.
Care Instructions:
- Hand or machine wash in warm water with mild soap
- Do not use fabric softeners
- Do not bleach
- Do not machine dry
- Do not iron
* UV PROTECTION: 95% Samples of fabrics have been tested for erythermally effective UV protection by LEITAT-Textile Technology Institutes in accordance with the standard AS/ NZS4399:1996 \x93Sun protective clothing-Evaluation and Classification\x94, results ranged from 93,3% (UPF > 15) to 96,7% (UPF>30), averaging 95% UV protection (UPF>20).
It all began in 1991 on a bike.
Charged with a passion for motorcycles, our founder, Joan Rojas, sought to find a solution to keep his neck and head protected on his cross-country rides. Plucking from his knowledge of tubular knitting, he churned out the first BUFF headwear product, focusing on supreme craftsmanship, and tested it as he traveled the length of the Pyrenees. BUFF , short for bufanda, which means \x93scarf\x94 in Spanish, was born.
Partnering with superior manufacturers of raw materials, over the past 25 years, BUFF has premiered and innovated the tubular headwear category. Our company-owned factory, which is located downstairs of our headquarters in Spain, allows us to ensure that, start to finish, excellence is built into every product.
Today, just as then, BUFF headwear is a product built on this ethos of quality; it\x92s in the marrow of our company.
Technology has progressed and the industry of textiles has moved into a new age, and we have evolved with it. While we incorporate state-of-the-art fabric technologies, like COOLMAX and Polygeine, into our products, we stick to our heritage of quality and reliability. It\x92s these time-tested qualities that athletes and outdoor enthusiasts from an array of sports depend on, and why BUFF is the original multifunctional headwear.
We invite you to become part of the BUFF revolution. See for yourself why BUFF headwear is the perfect accessory for any outdoor activity.

Think there's a magic formula for weight loss? Well, the reality is that there's a pretty simple formula.
In order to lose weight, you need to create a calorie deficit, which means that you are using up more calories that you are taking in.
Every person has a set number of calories that they burn every day in order to keep their body functioning. This is called your basal metabolic rate.
To lose a pound of fat, you need a deficit of 3,500 calories. If your goal is one pound per week, this works out to 500 calories per day.
While you could just try to eat 500 fewer calories every day, that much of a change in your food intake could feel like a major sacrifice, leaving you feeling hungry and making you more susceptible to gaining the weight back once you start eating normally again.
But if you add exercise to your plan, you can create the necessary caloric deficit by cutting just 250 calories from your diet and burning off the remaining 250 calories through exercise.
And there's another benefit to using exercise as a weight-loss tool. If you lose weight by only reducing calories from your diet, you also run the risk of losing muscle and water in addition to fat. But exercise not only burns calories - it can also help you to increase your lean muscle mass. Since muscle burns more calories than fat, even when you are at rest, adding exercise to the mix can help make you a lean, mean, calorie-burning machine!

Playing with Purple- and Pup!
- Prime the lid with a shadow primer (I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance)
- Pack a bold matte purple shadow onto the lid, blending into the crease as well
- Deepen the crease & outer V with a rich black shadow
- Brighten the look- with a light touch, use a matte fuscia shade to blend over the outer border of your shadow look (leaving space between the shadow and the eyebrow)
- Highlight under the brow and the tear duct area with any shimmery white shade
- Line the upper lashline with a black liquid liner, and define the bottom lash line using a black shadow and an angled liner brush.
- Complete the look with mascara... or false lashes for extra drama! Pup is wearing Andrea Mod Lash #53
Fun Facts about Pup!
- Pup is an incredible artist, and also teaches high school art
- The seasonal Reese's Peanut Butter products (PB eggs, pumpkins, etc.)... Pup loves them
