Barnes' New Testament Notes
« Prev Matthew 2:23 Next »
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW - Chapter 2 - Verse 23
Verse 23. Nazareth. This was a small town, situated in Galilee, west of Capernaum, and not far from Cana. It was built partly in a valley, and partly on the declivity of a hill, Luke 4:29. A hill is yet pointed out, to the south of Nazareth, as the one from which the people of the place attempted to precipitate the Saviour. It was a place, at that time, proverbial for wickedness, Joh 1:46. It is now a large village, with a convent and two churches. One of the churches, called the church of the Annunciation, is the finest in the Holy Land, except that of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
A modern traveller describes Nazareth as situated upon the declivity of a hill, the vale which spreads out before it resembling a circular basin, encompassed by mountains. Fifteen mountains appear to meet to form an enclosure for this beautiful spot, around which they rise like the edge of a shell, to guard it against intrusion. It is a rich and beautiful field in the midst of barren mountains.
Another traveller speaks of the streets as narrow and steep; the houses, which are fiat-roofed, are about two hundred and fifty in number, and the inhabitants he estimates at 2000. The population of the place is variously stated, though the average estimate is 3000; of whom about five hundred are Turks, and the residue nominal Christians.
As all testimony to the truth and fidelity of the sacred narrative is important, we have thought ourselves justified in connecting with this article a passage from the journal of Mr. Jowett, an intelligent modern traveller; especially as it is so full an illustration of the passage of Luke already cited:
"Nazareth is situated on the side, and extends nearly to
the foot, of a hill, which, though not very high, is rather
steep and overhanging. The eye naturally wanders over its
summit, in quest of some point from which it might probably
be that the men of this place endeavoured to east our
Saviour down, (Lu 4:29) but in vain: no rock adapted
to such an object appears here. At the foot of the hill
is a modest, simple plain, surrounded by low hills,
reaching in length nearly a mile; in breadth, near the
city, a hundred and fifty yards; but farther south, about
four hundred yards. On this plain there are a few olive and
fig trees, sufficient, or rather scarcely sufficient, to
make the spot picturesque. Then follows a ravine, which
gradually grows deeper and narrower towards the south;
till, after walking about another mile, you find yourself
in an immense chasm, with steep rocks on either side,
from whence you behold, as it were beneath your feet, and
before you, the noble plain of Esdraelon. Nothing can be
finer than the apparently immeasurable prospect of this
plain, bounded on the south by the mountains of Samaria.
The elevation of the hills on which the spectator stands
in this ravine is very great; and the whole scene, when
we saw it, was clothed in the most rich mountain-blue
colour that can be conceived. At this spot, on the right
hand of the ravine, is shown the rock to which the men of
Nazareth are supposed to have conducted our Lord, for the
purpose of throwing him down. With the Testament in our
hands, we endeavoured to examine the probabilities of the
spot; and I confess there is nothing in it which excites
a scruple of incredulity in my mind. The rock here is
perpendicular for about fifty feet, down which space it
would be easy to hurl a person who should be unawares
brought to the summit; and his perishing would be a
very certain consequence. That the spot might be at
considerable distance from the city is an idea not
inconsistent with St. Luke's account; for the expression,
thrusting Jesus out of the city, and leading him to the
brow of the hill, on which their city was built, gives
fair scope for imagining, that in their rage and debate
the Nazarenes might, without originally intending his
murder, press upon him for a considerable distance after
they had quitted the synagogue. The distance, as already
noticed, from modern Nazareth to the spot, is scarcely
two miles; a space which, in the fury of persecution,
might soon be passed over. Or, should this appear too
considerable, it is by no means certain but that Nazareth
may at that time have extended through the principal part
of the plain, which I have described as lying before the
modern town. In this case, the distance passed over might
not exceed a mile. I can see, therefore, no reason for
thinking otherwise, than that this may be the real
scene where our Divine Prophet, Jesus, received so great
a dishonour from the men of his own country and of his
own kindred."
Mr. Fisk, an American missionary, was at Nazareth in the autumn of 1823. His description Corresponds generally with that of Mr. Jowett. He estimates the population to be from 3000 to 5000, viz., Greeks, three hundred or four hundred families; Turks, two hundred; Catholics, one hundred; Greek Catholics, forty or fifty; Maronites, twenty or thirty; say in all seven hundred houses.
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, etc. The words here are not found in any of the books of the Old Testament; and there has been much difficulty in ascertaining the meaning of this passage. Some have supposed that Matthew meant to refer to Jud 13:5, to Samson as a type of Christ; others that he refers to Isa 11:1, where the descendant of Jesse is called "a Branch;" in the Hebrew Netzer. Some have supposed that Matthew refers to some prophecy which was not recorded, but handed down by tradition. But these suppositions are not satisfactory. It is a great deal more probable that Matthew refers not to any particular place, but to the leading characteristics of the prophecies respecting him. The following remarks may make this clear:
1st. He does not say, "by the prophet, as in Mt 1:22; 2:5,15; but "by the prophets," meaning no one particularly, but the general character of the prophecies.
2nd. The leading and most prominent prophecies respecting him were, that he was to be of humble life, to be despised, and rejected. See Isa 53:2,3,7-9,12; Ps 22:1.
3rd. The phrase "he shall be called," means the same as he shall be.
4th. The character of the people of Nazareth was such that they were proverbially despised and contemned, Joh 1:46; 7:52. To come from Nazareth, therefore, or to be a Nazarene, was the same as to be despised, and esteemed of low birth; to be a root out of dry ground, having no form or comeliness. And this was the same as had been predicted by the prophets. When Matthew says, therefore, that the prophecies were fulfilled, it means, that the predictions of the prophets that he should be of humble life, and rejected, were fully accomplished in his being an inhabitant of Nazareth, and despised as such.


These guys deserve a Black Label beer!
Another photo taken in Camps Bay, over the weekend, by my work colleague, Jorn Das. Some great action shots of the fire-fighting helicopters at work. For those of you that might not know, this is an effective method of dousing fires in South Africa. I did see some quite astonished looking tourists taking photos of the fires and the choppers.
Apparently, these water buckets can carry 2 tonnes of water (I stand to be corrected). Thats a lot of water! And apparently, one of these bucket loads of water was dropped on top of some fire-fighting civilian on the mountain. All I can say is, "Poor little bugger!". He is alive, but a few slipped discs in his back.


After years of fixing up properties - some to live in, some to sell - in 2009, Soledad Alzaga had that lightbulb moment. A friend who witnessed the renovation and decorating job that Alzaga completed on her San Francisco Victorian asked for her help. "I thought, 'I have contractors that I trust and like working with; I know the vendors, the artisans; I have all this experience and knowledge from doing it for so long for myself - why not do it for other people?' " says Alzaga.
"The following week, I went to City Hall and opened my company. The next day I was in business - and have not stopped since."
"My approach with clients is very personal," says Alzaga. "I want to know how they live and use their spaces, and what they like and dislike." In that Victorian that played such a significant role in her current career, her family's approach to living is that no space is off limits. Adds the mother of three: "My sofas have tailored white slipcovers that can easily be washed if there is a chocolate-milk spill."
Extra, extra: "I always encourage people to buy extra material and keep it stored just in case - for example, if a tile breaks or you need to patch a wood floor. In my own home, I bought painted concrete Mexican tiles for the entry and made the mistake of not buying extras. I thought I could always get more if needed, but the company I worked with went under and with that the possibility of getting the same tile in the same color. Now I have a couple of cracked tiles - which add a charming, old look - but I wish I had replacements."
Pro tip: "When you're undertaking a home project, keep a log of paint colors, materials, sources, vendors, etc. It seems obvious, but not a lot of people do it. Contractors keep this info for every project, but the homeowner should have a copy in case something needs to be fixed years later."
Words of wisdom: "Keep pieces you like and have history and meaning to you. Don't hold on to things that don't make sense or don't have a function. Beautiful things have the function of making you happy when you see them. So even if they don't serve any tangible purpose, you should still have them around."
Book it: "Nowadays, everybody is reading on tablets and are not buying paper books anymore. But I like using books when decorating. It adds interest, texture and layers to spaces. It also says a lot about the homeowners and their interests. "The American Art Book" (Phaidon Press, June 2001) and "The 20th Century Art Book" (Phaidon Press, March 1999) are among my favorite coffee table books; they are full of useful information and inspiration, and are decorative as well. But you can't go wrong with a good photography book on a subject that you're into - like cars, furniture and fashion."
Old and new: "I like using modern sofas, like those by Minotti and B&B Italia, in neutral colors as the big pieces in a living room. I then use old pieces, such as an Indian bed made of wood as a coffee table or a gold antique mirror, to bring some layers and life into a space. It's all about contrast."
High-impact art: "When it comes to art, I'm partial to using big pieces instead of grouping small pieces - unless it's family photos or small prints to make a statement wall. My client Stephen Davis chose this picture, and we decided to put it in the dining room for big impact."


Raita is a side dish in Indian cuisine and very common in almost all parts of India. This form of raita is a part of daily diet in north Indian Kitchen. Its made from curd and boondi (fried droplets made of gram flour). This curd preparation goes well with any type of paratha and even in the main course. Addition of raita or buttermilk to the main course in lunch or dinner adds satisfaction to another level.
This is very easy to make and takes only 5 minutes or less. It can be seasoned with dry roasted cumin seeds, coriander leaves, mint leaves, cayanne pepper, chat masala, black salt, dried fenufreek leaves (kasuri Methi) etc depending on your tastee and type of raita.
Also make variety of raita such as veg raita, cucumber raita, oats raita, pinnaple raita, lauki raita, aalo raita etc.
Lets make this raita and serve with hot Methi Paratha, Aaloo Paratha, or even Biryani. Share your feedback and comments below. You can directly mail to my email id.
Boondi Raita is a curd dish served with paratha, biryani, Pulav, fried rice etc. This is very easy to make and hardly takes 5 minutes to prepare and completes the meal.
Soak the boondi in fresh or cold water for 5 minutes to soak and become soft.
Beat yogurt to smooth and mix to the soaked boondi. Adjust water as per the consistency you require.
Heat a pan and dry roast the cumin seeds. Remove from heat and crush the roasted cumin seed to coarse powder. Add to the curd. Season with salt as per taste.
Raaita is ready to be served. Sprinkle a pinch of red chilli powder & chat masala. However both are optional and you can skip.

Q: Merge an array with an existing array php I have two array both containing data. I want to be able to add them together so that the information from the second array joins into the first array. Currently the array_merge that I am doing adds the second array to the end of the first one.
Array 1

I have tried array_merge( $array1 , $array2 ); but that adds the second array to the end of the first one.
Any ideas?

A: This looks pretty forward to me, you simply array_merge() the elements of those two arrays:
<?php
$A = [
    1 => [
        '2017-07-13 00:00:00',
        'Foo',
        'Bar',
        16.11,
        80.56,
        96.67
    ],
    2 => [
        '2017-07-13 00:00:00',
        'Foo',
        'Bar',
        1.23,
        50.69,
        14.24
    ]
];
$B = [
    1 => [
        'TIME',
        'Lorem',
        'Ipsum'
    ],
    2 => [
        'TIME',
        'Some',
        'Text'
    ]
];

array_walk($B, function($values, $key) use (&$A) {
    $A[$key] = array_merge($A[$key], $values);
});
print_r($A);

The output of that obviously is:
Array
(
    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => 2017-07-13 00:00:00
            [1] => Foo
            [2] => Bar
            [3] => 16.11
            [4] => 80.56
            [5] => 96.67
            [6] => TIME
            [7] => Lorem
            [8] => Ipsum
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [0] => 2017-07-13 00:00:00
            [1] => Foo
            [2] => Bar
            [3] => 1.23
            [4] => 50.69
            [5] => 14.24
            [6] => TIME
            [7] => Some
            [8] => Text
        )
)

UPDATE:
In the comment below you ask if this approach can be generalized to merge an arbitrary number of arrays. Sure that is possible, you just add another iteration layer:
<?php
$target = [
    1 => ['2017-07-13 00:00:00', 'Foo', 'Bar', 16.11, 80.56, 96.67],
    2 => ['2017-07-13 00:00:00', 'Foo', 'Bar', 1.23, 50.69, 14.24]
];
$sources = [
    'B' => [
        1 => ['TIME', 'Lorem', 'Ipsum'],
        2 => ['TIME', 'Some', 'Text']
    ],
    'C' => [
        1 => ['C1a', 'C1b'],
        2 => ['C2a', 'C2b', 'C2b']
    ]
];

array_walk($sources, function($source) use (&$target) {
    array_walk($source, function($values, $key) use (&$target) {
        $target[$key] = array_merge($target[$key], $values);
    });
});
print_r($target);

This variant produces that output:
Array
(
    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => 2017-07-13 00:00:00
            [1] => Foo
            [2] => Bar
            [3] => 16.11
            [4] => 80.56
            [5] => 96.67
            [6] => TIME
            [7] => Lorem
            [8] => Ipsum
            [9] => C1a
            [10] => C1b
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [0] => 2017-07-13 00:00:00
            [1] => Foo
            [2] => Bar
            [3] => 1.23
            [4] => 50.69
            [5] => 14.24
            [6] => TIME
            [7] => Some
            [8] => Text
            [9] => C2a
            [10] => C2b
            [11] => C2b
        )

)

A: What about this with array_merge_recursive?

array_merge_recursive() merges the elements of one or more arrays
  together so that the values of one are appended to the end of the
  previous one. It returns the resulting array.

$result = array_merge_recursive($first_array, $second_array);

EDIT: If array_merge_recursive doesn't work for you then try this https://eval.in/838950
<?php
$first_array = [
    1 => [
        '2017-07-13 00:00:00',
        'Foo',
        'Bar',
        16.11,
        80.56,
        96.67
    ],
    2 => [
        '2017-07-13 00:00:00',
        'Foo',
        'Bar',
        1.23,
        50.69,
        14.24
    ]
];
$second_array = [
    1 => [
        'TIME',
        'Lorem',
        'Ipsum'
    ],
    2 => [
        'TIME',
        'Some',
        'Text'
    ]
];

foreach($second_array as $k=>$v){
 $first_array[$k] = array_merge($frist_array[$k],$v);
}

 print '<pre>';
 /*print_r(array_merge_recursive($first_array,$second_array));*/
 print_r($frist_array);

A: You want to create a multi dimensional array?
That's pretty easy.
$new_array[] = $array_1;
$new_array[] = $array_2;

A: you can try this approach:
    $array1 = [
        [1,2,3,4],
        [6,7,8,9]
    ];
    $array2 = [
        ['a','b'],
        ['c', 'd']
    ];
    $array3 = [];
    foreach (range(0, max(count($array1), count($array2))-1) as $i) {
        $part1 = isset($array1[$i]) ? $array1[$i] : [];
        $part2 = isset($array2[$i]) ? $array2[$i] : [];
        $array3[] = array_merge($part1, $part2);
    }

William Hung during a video shoot on April 6, 2004 in Los Angeles.
Spoiler alert! Loads and loads of American Idol finalists will take the stage at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Thursday in a showy nod to the series' past. Somewhere in the vicinity of 60 will take part in group numbers and spotlight performances, according to executive producer Nigel Lythgoe, with other star surprises in store.
According to sources, Brian Dunkleman will finally return to open the show, alongside host of 15 years Ryan Seacrest. Viral star William Hung is set to take the stage as well, as are original judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson.
All 15 Idol winners will be in attendance, joining their fellow alums for group numbers devoted to David Bowie, country music, Idol rockers and divas. Expect a favorite trope of Idol: all onstage wearing all white for a giant sentimental song (Barry Manilow's "One Voice," from his 1979 album of the same name).

TURNING BACK THE CLOCK WITH MODERN ARCHITECTURAL STONEWORK
In the Middle Ages, architectural stonework was an enormous undertaking; for the building of one castle, the task employed anywhere from 1,000 to 3,000 workers including masons, carpenters, diggers, and blacksmiths. Depending on the size and lavishness of castles and fortresses back then, a project could take from two to 10 years to complete. Common features included stone columns, curtain walls, corner towers, tower keeps, grand fireplaces, fountains, and dry moats. Medieval architecture that remains popular today includes pointed spires, intricate sculptures, flying buttresses, large expanses of glass, arches, and other stone structures. These structures have had a lasting impact on the world that continues to this day. As the cornerstones of human achievement, they went on to shape culture and society for centuries to come.
Materials needed were clay soil, oak trees, and stone that were located near castle sites. Mortar was created from soil, lime, and water and tools included chisels, hammers, plenty of rope, calipers, triangles, and even plumb bobs. Today, the same look can be created with stonework for those who desire the gothic or medieval look for their homes and buildings; thanks to advancements in building techniques and materials, precision and quality of work has greatly improved in the past several centuries.
Today, many original medieval castles survive while others have been lost to time. Enduring stonework can be seen in Windsor Castle, the Tower of London, Bodiam Castle, La Rocca di Monteggiori, and hundreds of others, mainly in Europe. Today's stone masons and builders are able to precisely recreate the work that was done then, bringing the gothic past to life in homes, hotels, and other buildings throughout the world. Examples of popular stone structures today include everything from fireplace mantels and stone columns to fountains and range hoods in kitchens.
These structures take many forms, but they all represent a specific time and place that speaks to the endurance and timeless beauty of the human spirit. Here are some of the defining features of historical architectural stonework:
The fireplace mantels of old were often the signature of a medieval structure, providing more than just heat – they also provided incredible beauty and ambiance. From French chateaus to Neuschwanstein Castle, the fireplace symbolized wealth, power, warmth, and a focal point for it all. Today, expert builders can recreate the fireplaces of even the most meticulous design of a 19th-century Romanesque Revival palace to bring that same aura to modern homes.
Stone Columns
Gothic stone columns were used in medieval times not only to provide support and structure for large buildings, but also to provide a true "wow" factor that is hardly surpassed today. Dramatic flair was available in spades when builders added these columns and today, homeowners are opting still to add grandeur to their homes with medieval stone columns.
Medieval Fountains
Appearing everywhere from the center of cities to the back gardens of castles, medieval fountains represented wealth, lavish power, and beauty. While many people back then found water to be calming and soothing, they still do so today. Featuring anything from grand arches and stone animals to sculptures of people, gothic fountains have remained a centerpiece for the grandest estates created by stone builders even in modern times.
Stone Kitchen Hoods
Much like today's kitchens, medieval kitchens were constantly bustling with activity and as such, giant custom stone kitchen hoods were often the main focal point of these rooms. The charm and charisma these hoods afforded gothic homes is still replicated by master craftsmen who continue this tradition in the kitchens of today. Dramatic lines and grand embellishments are characteristic of this type of stonework, providing a strong elegance ideal for the grandest of kitchens across the centuries.
The best craftsmen in the world go beyond fireplaces, kitchen hoods, fountains, and columns and provide additional types of stunning custom work for purveyors of medieval beauty from all over the world. The lavish detail present in medieval stonework is alive and well in many of today's finest homes and buildings, and if you're interested in including some gothic architecture in your own home, be sure to work with only the most skilled designers and craftsmen in the trade for the finest possible results.

New York Red Bulls now officially represent the name with new uniforms
The New York Red Bulls unveil an all-red jersey for the 2018 season sure to finally represent the franchise in an even truer form.
On Dec. 29, 2017, the New York Red Bulls released a teaser video on social media to get fans excited about their new jersey reveal that was set for New Year's Day. The video message was …
"You said we'd never do it."
But they did. This past Monday, the Red Bulls unveiled an all-red jersey for the 2018 season, a collaborative effort between the team, Adidas and Major League Soccer.
"We're thrilled," said Joe Stetson, the Red Bulls' Vice-President of Marketing and Communications. "The color red has been a part of the franchise for a long time. It's part of the evolution of how we're of how we've identified with the color red more and more over the last couple of years. It's evolved into this red jersey which is something that our fans have been asking for for many many years."
Over the last few years, the Red Bulls have made a conscious effort to use the color red in their branding and marketing. In fact, they created hashtags like #NYisRED and #RedTogether that have become rallying cries for the Red Bulls' supporters. In 2015 and 2016, the team held a number of town hall meetings and the subject of a red jersey came up repeatedly.
Sean Davis, New York Red Bulls
One fan in particular seemed to get the attention of Red Bulls General Manager Marc deGrandpre with his query about a new red kit.
"Interestingly, I did," said Edward Soliman, a 43 year old Red Member (season ticket holder) from Gillette, New Jersey. "Especially if the team was going to continue to establish it's local identity with its "RED" branding. It just made sense. What Marc said at the town hall was that the home jersey would always be white and that the team doesn't sell enough jerseys to warrant a third/alternate kit. But Marc, nor the team, never said they wouldn't come out with a red jersey…it was a lot of the fans who just assumed it."
You know what happens when you assume right?
"Most of the fans thought we would never be able to do it," said Stetson.
At the end of the day, the Red Bulls did listen to their fans and the red jersey has become a reality, but its going to take some time before the jersey will be available to the public.
Because it's a customized engineered woven fabric jersey, it will take a little bit longer than normal for the new kits to arrive at Red Bull Arena. The Red Bulls will soon announce an on sale date, by they are expecting them to arrive right before the Mar. 10 home opener against the Portland Timbers. In the meantime, there are a few ways that fans can take part in the new jersey launch.
Fans who purchase one of the Red Bulls flex ticket plans can purchase the red jersey early with a 25% discount.
Red Members also have a similar 25% discount that they can take advantage of at the Bull Shop (team store) at Red Bull Arena on gamedays starting with the home opener.
The team currently has a promotion on their website where a fan can win a game worn red jersey from Bradley Wright-Phillips.
Speaking of BWP, the players have provided some input over the years in terms of the Red Bulls having a red jersey.
"Yeah actually they have," said Stetson. "It was a pretty common sentiment amongst the New York Red Bulls community as a whole to really get this red jersey."
According to Stetson, the reaction so far has been "really positive" and that a lot of fans are thrilled about it because they've been asking about it for a long time.
A team isn't necessarily going to listen to a fan's trade suggestion on sports talk radio because generally they don't make any sense. For example….
"Hey there…Peter from Long Island here….first time long time…I think the Red Bulls should trade a first round pick in the Super Draft and allocation money to Real Madrid for Ronaldo!"
See, no reason for a team to pay attention to nonsense like that!
But, it's always refreshing when teams listen to supporters about other aspects of the organization.
Soliman is one of many Red Bulls fans who are thrilled with the red jersey because it's something they've been waiting patiently for. They've embraced the red branding and many fans yell "red" during the national anthem. So the unveiling of the red jersey is exciting.
"Very happy," said Soliman, a MetroStars season ticket holder during the franchise's first two seasons in 1996 and 1997 and a Red Bulls Member since 2014. "The team's identity has been all about red now for a while. Everything has revolved around red. I'm ecstatic that the team on the field, as well as the fans, will be able to wear red to embody its identity."
Here's how the red jersey came to life.
Prior to the 2015 season, the Red Bulls hammered home the "New York is Red" campaign with NYCFC getting ready for their first season in Major League Soccer. So at a town hall that year, Soliman asked deGrandpre why the team is pushing 'red" so much but yet there isn't a red jersey and the response was that a week earlier designers started to do a mock up.
"I took him for his word," said Soliman.
He was right to trust deGrandpre because as it turns out, it takes a couple of years for a jersey concept to come to fruition. In 2016, the team released a new blue away/secondary jersey so the fans continued to think that a red jersey was just a pipe dream. But in 2017, the season ticket holder gift was a red practice jersey leading to speculation that a red game jersey might become a reality.
For two years, the Red Bulls worked on the red jersey project but they weren't alone in the effort. Adidas, who this past August extended their partnership as the league's official supplier for uniforms, footwear, training gear and sideline apparel through 2024, was involved in the red jersey throughout the process.
"They played a huge role as they do with each jersey design," said Stetson. "They're a great partner of ours and a great partner of the league. This was truly a collaboration project between Adidas, Red Bulls, and the league as a whole."
And now that the red jersey is a reality, Soliman is going to get his credit card out.
His family has purchased many jerseys over the years but hasn't bought a new one since 2014. He wasn't going to but another one unless one of two things happened … either the Red Bulls win MLS Cup and he gets one with a star above the crest or if the team released a red jersey.
Since the Red Bulls came through on one part of the criteria, Soliman will be sporting a new red jersey in section 108 at the home opener.
"I'm obviously breaking down this year," said Soliman. "I'm also hoping I'll be able to iron on a star at the end of the year."
I'm guessing the Red Bulls might be able to help with that but there's a lot of work to be done on the field between now and then. On their quest for MLS Cup, the Red Bulls will wear be sporting the red jersey a lot, especially at home where in the past they've generally worn white jerseys. There will be a new white jersey as well, but it will be part of a rotation.
The image that the league issued with the red jersey, white shorts and red socks are just one combination.
"We are mixing it up a bit," said Stetson. "There will be a combination of white being worn at home and red being worn at home and similarly on the away side. But I can assure you that the red jerseys are going to be worn significantly more than the blue jersey was worn the last few years. You'll also see red red red for some key games. We're hoping to do that possibly for the New York Derby against NYCFC. You're going to see a lot of variations throughout the year."
The Red Bulls' new red jersey is proof that sports fans should never give up hope, on or off the field, because you never know what's going to happen. Many Red Bulls supporters never thought there would be a red jersey and now there is one. Now all the Red Bulls have to do is prove the doubters wrong again by winning MLS Cup.
When that happens, they'll be wearing red.

This spring, winter is coming. The highly-anticipated return of HBO's Game of Thrones is set for April 12th, and we couldn't be more excited to get back to Westeros. Last season's action-packed finale left viewers with so many burning questions: What's going to happen to Bran now that he's reached the weirwood tree? Will new-and-improved "bad girl Sansa" actually hook up with Littlefinger (aka the guy who used to be in love with her mom)? Most importantly, will Tyrion be OK?
Whether you're Team Baratheon, Team Targaryen, or even Team Bolton (is anyone though, really?), these 10 essentials will get you fully prepared to jump back into the drama and chaos.
Yes, there is a such thing as Game of Thrones-themed beer. The "Three-Eyed Raven" is actually the fifth installment of a series crafted by Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, New York. The brewery describes this one as "neither a pure saison nor your typical dark beer, but instead a delectable blend that both deceives and thrills the senses." Grab your own before it sells out-retailers near you can be found on their website.
Need equally appropriate vessels for your Game of Thrones beers? These high-quality pint glasses from ThinkGeek will let you enjoy brews in style; you can get a pair of glasses with symbols for either Stark and Baratheon or Lannister and Targaryen. Choose wisely-or, better yet, order all four!
We know allegiances can be a little tricky when you're vying for the Iron Throne, but these awesome banners found on Etsy make us want to fiercely and proudly declare our loyalty anyway. The nifty decorations are custom-made with the sigils of any of the Great Houses, so take your pick!
Lemon cake is decadent, delicious, and Sansa Stark's favorite food-so what could be a better treat for a premiere party? Make this themed recipe from Living Better Together.
"It's the family name that lives on. That's all that lives on. Not your personal glory, not your honor, but family." Bake your favorite cookies and keep them appropriately festive with these Game of Thrones family sigil cookie cutter stencils from Etsy.
Spoilers ahead for those who haven't seen Season 1: we steadfastly maintain that the death of Sansa'a direwolf Lady was easily one of the most upsetting deaths on the show. To commemorate her and celebrate the remaining members of her pack, cook up a batch of this delicious puppy chow from A Song of Spice and Fire.
For those who aren't beer lovers, never fear! A fan-made project, Wines of Westeros features 12 different wines that are each tied to a different house from the show. Pop open a bottle of Tyrell Chardonnay or Dothraki Merlot for a lively good time, but consider letting someone else have the first sip-just in case.
Sure, "all men must die," but that doesn't mean you should let unwanted rings on your table lead to your own demise or-worse-make you as unpopular as Joffrey. Protect your house's prized heirlooms with these official wax seal coasters from HBO.
C&C Cakery created this incredible recipe that's inspired by Daenerys and her three little (well, not so little anymore) pets. Rather than being born in fire and ashes, Mrs. C describes these cookies as being "born in chocolate and nuts and Oreo pieces." That's a transformation we can get behind.
If a formal dinner is part of your feasting plans, make it a meal fit for King's Landing. A Feast of Ice and Fire from Chelsea Monroe-Cassel attempts to authentically recreate the types of food you would really find in the world of Game of Thrones.

Spellbound Contemporary Ballet and Gala DanzaEccellenze at Milan's Teatro Carcano
26 March 2016 by Gramilano 1 Comment
The Teatro Carcano in Milan is trying to forge ahead with a project to feature dance, especially contemporary dance, on its stage.
Dance in Milan tends to be dominated by La Scala, while other northern Italian towns such as Venice, Genoa and Turin have got to see the Eifman Ballet, Ballet Preljocaj, Béjart Ballet Lausanne, Estonian National Ballet, Ballet Nacional de Cuba, and the Mariinsky and Bolshoi companies on tour in recent years. This season Matthew Bourne's Sleeping Beauty makes an appearance at Milan's Teatro Arcimboldi, as did Sylvie Guillem's Life in Progress at the beginning of the season, but apart from a few dubious Nutcrackers that, in Milan, is more or less it.
Carcano put on the Mara Galeazzi and Friends Gala at the beginning of the season, but as they style themselves as a Centre for Contemporary Art, most other contributions to their season have been modern.
Spellbound Contemporary Ballet in DARE
Last week saw Mauro Astolfi's excellent Spellbound Contemporary Ballet company in a mixed programme called Dare. Astolfi has a true choreographic vocabulary which is rich and varied. His dedicated company give themselves passionately to Astolfi's creations and the work that lies behind its performance is evident with the many intricate, perfectly timed sequences and detailed interrelationships between the company's nine dancers.
The opening piece, Small Crime, featured Maria Cossu and Giovanni La Rocca, in an intense exchange between a pair of lovers though, for most of the piece, ex-lovers. The work, created for New York last year, mirrors a situation that tragically is featured almost daily in Italy's news, where the end of a relationship results in a vendetta by one of the pair; usually, of course, the man. In Astolfi's choreography the man's rage is won over by his intellect as he swallows his damaged pride and just walks away. The pull and shove of the violent movements creates a suitably troubling and uneasy atmosphere.
Lost For Words is a trilogy of works completed in 2013, the last of which was represented at Teatro Carcano, L'invasione delle parole vuote or The Invasion of Empty Words. The entire company lot against each other in an empty stage which seems to contain invisible barriers and occasionally obstacles created by the bodies of the dancers themselves. There is a continuous struggle as though they are trying to get through… to encounter someone? …to achieve something? …to cut through the empty words? …to eliminate the rhetoric and get to the truth? It is not a story, though there is a narrative which creates a mood rather than a plot.
In the longest piece, Dare, the atmosphere was similar though some Chopin occasionally broke into Luca Salvadori's soundscape and there was the first use of scenic elements. People-sized cardboard boxes which resembled coffins were used in increasingly imaginative ways, and created labyrinths and walls for the dancers to cleverly work around. Dare consists of a series of encounters, all of which seem to be saying something, though I really don't know what, but it was fascinating all the same; like witnessing an animated dinner-table conversation when you don't speak the language. There is also a fascinating coup de theatre at the end when the company disappears behind a backcloth that has been hiding two large Venetian blinds. They are opened and closed quickly, each time revealing a new part of a story, like a camera flash going off in the dark and capturing just a frame of the whole narrative. A metaphor for Astolfi's choreography where fragments of a story seem to be brought together in fascinating ways to form a collage of the complete story.
I don't know about you, but I often start looking at my watch when there are similar moods, colours and aural backgrounds and here on a dimly lit stage too. In Astolfi's three pieces presented at Teatro Carcano there were no bright colours, no jazz or hip-hop, no half-nude bodies, no comedy… no gimmicks to keep the audience's interest, yet our attention was captured throughout by the communicative flow of his choreography. Thoroughly convincing both the choreographer and his sensational company.
Gala DanzaEccellenze
Eko Dance Project in Mats Ek's Giselle
A couple of days saw a gala which was a real hotchpotch of styles and ability. Although called Danza Excellenze (Excellence in Dance) it certainly wasn't all excellent, though there were some good pickings to be had.
Mats Ek dancer Pompea Santoro presented twenty minutes of the 'white' act of his Giselle, danced by students of her Eko Dance Project, and it was interesting to note how well it worked out of context. She had obviously worked hard with her dedicated team.
Dorian Grori from the Compagnia Cosi-Stefanescu, winningly danced Doina, a piece choreographed to Rumanian music by Marinel Stefanescu, though he does have a tendency to dance for himself and ignore his audience.
CHOPinLOVE by Marco De Alteriis for Loredana Furno's Balletto Teatro di Torino was set to the Maestoso movement of Chopin's Piano Concerto N°2. Some unexpectedly violent moves were surprisingly not at odds with Chopin's music. Axier Iriarte and Wilma Puentes Linares were the excellent interpreters.
Andrea Volpintesta and Sabrina Brazzo in The Cloak of the Dragon
The evening concluded with a suite from the one act ballet The Cloak of the Dragon performed by Jas Art Ballet. This young company is directed by La Scala dancers Sabrina Brazzo and Andrea Volpintesta, and it featured them together with another La Scala dancer, Maurizio Licitra, and a member of Jas Art Ballet who trained at the La Scala Academy, Filippo Valmorbida. In this piece the title of the gala lived up to its name.
Sabrina Brazzo is as elegant and classy as ever; Andrea Volpintesta showed off a fine comic vein as well a cutting a handsome figure on stage – a Mr Darcy in black leather; and Licitra and Valmorbida set the stage alight with their physical wizardry. The choreography is by Massimiliano Volpini (yes, another La Scala dancer) who, refreshingly, is not afraid of humour and irony.
Volpini's new full-length ballet Il giardino degli amanti starring Roberto Bolle opens at La Scala at the beginning of next month.
