Multi effects pedals provide the guitarist who doesn't have the room or perhaps budget for a custom board with access to a multitude of different effects to be accessed individually or in tandem.
Whether that be modulation effects to be clicked in by different stomp switches, or expression rocker switches capable of pitch-bending, wah and whammy, everything is collected on easily assigned and recalled patches which potentially do away with the need for more than one pedal in your entire collection. Some are clearly intended for home recording but others are available in rugged, tour-worthy chassis.

Seeking Justice: Film Review
The Bottom Line
Vigilante fantasy meets conspiracy nuttiness in silly thriller.
Friday, March 16 (Anchor Bay)
Nicolas Cage, January Jones, Guy Pearce, Jennifer Carpenter, Harold Perrineau, Xander Berkeley
Roger Donaldson
January Jones, Guy Pearce and Jennifer Carpenter co-star with Nicolas Cage in director Roger Donaldson's thriller for Anchor Bay about a man who finds himself in the middle of a dangerous vigilante operation.
Not much makes sense in Roger Donaldson's Seeking Justice, a goofy little thriller that jettisons logic anytime it interferes with squeezing in more paranoia. Neither the script's conspiracies nor Nicolas Cage's performance is weird enough to trump the film's generic feel, a low-rent vibe unlikely to wow at the box office.
PHOTOS: '80s Action Stars: Where Are They Now?
Cage plays Will Gerard, a schoolteacher whose intellect is more told -- via stale nods to Shakespeare and chess -- than demonstrated by anything he does in the film. When his wife Laura (January Jones) is raped, mystery man Simon (Guy Pearce) offers Will a mysterious shot at extrajudicial justice: Representing a shadowy "group that" -- dramatic pause -- "deals with people," he says he'll have the rapist killed if Will promises to do some undetermined, probably minor (yeah, right) favor in the future.
Obviously, Will is going to have to do something criminal. What's not obvious as the plot progresses is what Pearce's Mephistopheles character has to gain here: Yes, his group is forcing innocent people to do their dirty work, but the innocents are so inept and require such labor-intensive, attention-drawing manipulation that the conspirators would be better off doing things themselves. In Will's case, the assigned felony practically takes care of itself, and still the loose ends are plentiful enough to draw full attention from both law enforcement and the media, sending Cage's character on a detective mission to clear his good name.
VIDEO: 'Seeking Justice' Trailer: Nicolas Cage Hires a Hitman
When the cloak-and-dagger affectations in Robert Tannen's script aren't distractingly dumb -- buy two candy bars to signal your acceptance of our Faustian pact -- they have the flavor of tinfoil-hat fantasies that could only be enjoyable in a film that connects dots with some panache or cleverness. Seeking Justice has neither, and the movie's attempts to pretend it takes a rape victim's psychological trauma seriously only muddy the mood further.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
In my never-ending quest to entertain you all, can anyone shed some light on what this font might be? This style of lettering is fairly typical of prison tattoo work. (Obviously, since it's a prison tattoo, it's definitely hand-lettered!!!) But perhaps you could suggest something that's reasonably close to it. Perhaps some of you forum members who are currently behind bars might have a unique insight!
Thanks, DK~
> Perhaps some of you forum members who are currently behind bars might have a unique insight!
chocolate bar good for you?
This is hand-lettered.
I've watched Ed Benguiat scratch out incredible word doodles in psuedo Edwardian Script using just a ballpoint pen without even spilling his beer!
Both Tom Carnase and Tony Di Spigna weild mighty quills penning impromtu ornate scripts as well. The beauty of these pieces are that the flourishes are integrated within the characters and words used, which is virtually impossible to create using a type font.
You can get close using the swirly ITC Edwardian Script.
I've always heard that font catalogues are especially favored items inside prison walls, to give tattoo artists a richer typographic library to choose from.
Hey, Jared, I'll trade you my old Expertype catalog for a pack of Camels... I'm in cellblock 8.
Hmmm... ITC Edwardian Script will probably work if I can get the warden to rough it up a tad!
My father, a sign painter by trade, also had a similar talent for effortlessly cranking out graceful script... To watch him do this with a sloppy, wet watercolor brush was quite impressive. Alas, I did not inherit his talent, so digital typography is a fortuitous path for me!
Maybe way off here, but Mário Feliciano's Escrita has a hand-drawn-swash look. It also includes two fonts for first and last characters.
Rob Leuschke's Carattere is less rough, but still looks hand drawn.
Mike F-
Thanks much... Escrita might be the one!

National 4-H Week observed Oct. 7-13
Online Staff Report
In today's society, every week of the year seems to have some significant meaning. The week of Oct. 7-13 is no different. However, this celebrated week directly affects more than 6.5 million youth throughout the U.S. Oct. 7-13 is National 4-H Week.
National 4-H Week celebrates the most important element of 4-H – people! 4-H'ers participate in fun, hands-on learning activities supported by the latest research of land-grant universities that are focused on three areas: healthy living, citizenship, and science. Youth can experience 4-H by becoming a member of a 4-H club, attending a 4-H camp, or joining school-based or after-school 4-H programs. 4-H'ers can compete with their projects in contests at the local, state, regional or national levels. They may also attene conferences and events.
In Ogle County, approximately 410 youth participated in community-based 4-H clubs last year. Additionally, about 1,300 youth participated in 4-H school programs, special community events, and special interest groups. Youth were led by more than 350 adult volunteers and classroom teachers. What was once though of as a program for "farm kids" has now grown to reach just as many youth from towns, suburbs and cities.
Currently, Ogle County has 16 community 4-H clubs. Anyone who was between 5-18 years old by Sept.1 can participate in project work.
4-H'ers choose projects that interest them from a long and varied list.They set learning goals and work with adults and older 4-H members to meet those goals. Goals may include making exhibits for the 4-H Fair, giving talks or demonstrations for the local club, or participating in special workshops or project meetings. At the end of the 4-H year, members have the opportunity to exhibit proejcts of their learning at the annual 4-H Fair.They also have the option of completing project record books so they can track their long-term progress in a project area and be eligible for a multitude of county awards.
If you are interested in learning more about 4-H or want to get involved, visit the Ogle County 4-H website at htttp://web.extension.illinois.edu/bdo/, or call the Extension office at (815) 732-2191.
4-H is the youth development program of University of Illinois Extension. University of Illinois Extension provides equal opportunities in programs and employment.

Desertification is a form of land degradation in which a comparatively dry land area becomes more and more arid, normally losing its bodies of water along with its wildlife and vegetation. This is a result of a variety of factors, such as climate change and human activities. Desertification is an important global, ecological, and environmental issue. There is substantial controversy over the proper definition of the term "desertification". The most broadly accepted of these is that of...
- Large; stout; burly.

Another plant which hasn't been discussed: Picea brachytyla
Anybody seen one in person? Seen one for sale?
Very nice tree; perhaps most like a broad-crowned Picea omorika, with similar green / white contrast in the needles. Nice purple cones, though not very prolific coning.
Mostly zone 7-9. The northernmost origins might be a bit hardier. Needs high humidity / rainfall; very sensitive to drought.
Pic: a tree at RBG Edinburgh.
Hmmm, I don't think I could get away with growing that. We are subject to the occasional drought (we've had dry summers the past 3 years), and we USUALLY hit -17 F at least once in the winter. We are solidly zone 5; the problem around here is that those cold snaps often come when there's no snow cover - Much more devastating than -30 with 2 feet of snow on the ground.

Whenever I've tried Googling such things, the only jackets I ever find are bomber jackets, which are not my style -- I'd prefer something cleaner and more modern. Internet sites are fine, but serious bonus points for actual stores in New York City. And how much can I reasonably expect to pay for such a thing?

How to get a deep crease out of leather (upholstery)
I have had an expensive leather couch for about 7 years with removable overstuffed cushions. One of the cushions was probably not pulled tight enough when originally sewed and has a deep crease. I know I can replace the pillow/stuffing insert to plump it up, but I can not figure out how to get the deep , seemingly permanent crease out given that leather cannot be ironed. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

"We liked this invitation because of the clear cut message it sends. It goes against the traditional wedding invitation in just about every way. We like that we were able to customize the text to read how we wanted and we weren't stuck with the one that came. The free colors were limited, but we were able to make them work for us without paying for a custom color. They are thick and hefty and the printing is very professionally done. We can't wait to send them out and get the reactions of the recipients."

I wanted to change the wording from "forever starts today" to "our legacy starts today" but they weren't able to but the invites are so beautiful it didn't even matter!!

GREAT quality for an even better price!!"

How Christ Restored the Gospel to His Church
I've added a link to the top of my sidebar to the right. It links to Post Tenebras Lux, the website of Dr. Thomas R. Browning, Assistant Pastor of Grace Community Presbyterian Church in Fort Worth, Texas. At his site is a lecture series about the life and ministry of Martin Luther and the story of the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. It is the month of October now, and Luther nailed the historic 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany on October 31, 1517, so it is time to begin gearing up to commemorate the Protestant Reformation, which was the providential way "How Christ Restored the Gospel to His Church."
Analyzing the Character and State of the PCA
"The Christian Curmudgeon" was a member of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) since its founding. He recently left the PCA for his own reasons and is now ministering in the Reformed Episcopal Church. In the past few weeks, you may have noticed that The Aquila Report has posted two articles expressing the growing concern over the state of the PCA. In light of this, The Christian Curmudgeon has written a very helpful post characterizing the various theological and practical trajectories represented by the first generation of the PCA. The point being that the PCA was never intended to be a strictly confessional Reformed denomination. This sheds light on how they got into the chaotic state they are in today. Read his informative post, "I Don't Have a Dog in this Fight, But That Doesn't Keep Me From Having an Opinion."
Divine Inspiration Evidenced by the Providential Preservation of the Holy Scriptures
VI. The providence of God has, in a most marvellous manner, PRESERVED the scriptures of the Old and New Testament from being lost or corrupted. While perhaps millions of other books, once of considerable fame in the world, and which no one sought to extirpate, are lost and forgotten, the Scriptures, though more early written, and though Satan and his agents unnumbered have hated them, and sought to cause their memory to perish from among men, or to corrupt them, still remain, and remain in their purity.
In great wisdom and kindness, God, for their preservation, ordered an original copy to be laid up in the Holy of Holies (Deuteronomy 31:26); and that every Hebrew king should write out a copy for himself (Deuteronomy 27:18); and appointed the careful and frequent reading of them, both in private and public. With astonishing kindness and wisdom has he made the contending parties who had access to the Scriptures–such as the Jews and Israelites, the Jews and Samaritans, the Pharisees and Sadducees, the Jews and Christians, and the various parties of Christians–MUTUAL CHECKS upon each other for almost three thousand years past, that they might not be able either to extirpate or to corrupt any part of them. When the Christians had almost utterly lost the knowledge of the Hebrew originals, God, by his providence, stirred up the Jewish rabbins to an uncommon labour for preserving them in their purity, by marking the number of letters, and how often each was repeated, in their Masoras.
By what tremendous judgments did he restrain and punish Antiochus Epiphanes, the Syro-Grecian king; Dioclesian, the Roman emperor; and others who attempted to destroy the copies of Scripture, in order to extirpate the Jewish or Christian religion! And he has bestowed amazing support and consolation on such as have risked or parted with their lives rather than deny the dictates of Scripture, or in the least contribute to their extirpation or misinterpretation.
By quickly multiplying the copies or the readers of the Scriptures, he rendered it impossible to corrupt them in anything important, without causing the corruption all at once to start up into every copy dispersed through the world, and into the memories of almost every reader;–than which nothing could be more absurd to suppose. Nay it is observable that of all the thousands of various readings which the learned have collected, not one in the least enervates any point of our faith or duty towards God or man.
We Don't Need No Education
For those of you still awaiting my closing post on "Gender Roles: Complementarianism," rest assured I have not forgotten, but the post is still not ready. Stay tuned, true believer! In the meantime, I enjoyed the following video…
Listen as Dr. W. Robert Godfrey, President and Professor of Church History at Westminster Seminary California and Ligonier teaching fellow, discusses the tendency toward anti-intellectualism throughout church history, and calls believers to not only love God with their hearts and their strength, but also with their minds. This lecture was delivered at the 2012 Ligonier national conference on "The Christian Mind."
Watch: We Don't Need No Education
And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, "Which commandment is the most important of all?"
Jesus answered, "The most important is, 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
And the scribe said to him, "You are right, Teacher. You have truly said that he is one, and there is no other besides him. And to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."
And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And after that no one dared to ask him any more questions. Mark 12:28-34
Thinking through the Campbellite Denial of Original Sin
If you are a Campbellite, a former Campbellite, or otherwise knowledgable about the nuances of Campbellite doctrine and logic, please critique the following syllogism I have devised in my attempt to think through the reason Campbellites would deny the doctrine of original sin.
It is my understanding that Campbellism does affirm that Adam's posterity inherited a natural predisposition to commit sins, so the only distinction between Augustinians and Campbellites with which I'm dealing lies in the Campbellite denial of the imputation of the guilt of Adam's sin to his posterity.
I am also prepared for the possibility that Campbellites might object to my assertion in the first proposition "that baptism literally washes away sin." It would also be good if anyone could help me articulate this proposition more precisely.
Here is my working syllogism:
Campbellites agree with Augustine that baptism literally washes away sin;
Campbellites disagree with Augustine that baptism is for infants;
Therefore, Campbellites conclude that infants are not affected by original sin, but are rather born innocent.
The Hermeneutics of Insider Syncretism
On this week's episode of the Christ the Center podcast (#263, "Insider Movements"), Dr. David Garner is interviewed about his recent article in Themelios, "High Stakes: Insider Movement Hermeneutics and the Gospel," analyzing the hermeneutics underlying the Insider Movement, a sociological and anthropological approach to contextualizing evangelism without calling on people whose identities are tied to other world religions like Judaism, Islam and Hinduism to disassociate themselves from those religious, cultural and family ties, but to work inside them and transform their approach to those religions in light of the teachings of Jesus. While it is noble to attempt to find a way to minimize the risk of loss or danger a Jew, Muslim or Hindu (for example) may face upon becoming a Christian, it is unfaithful to the Jesus they claim to follow if they would settle for living to distort their new-found faith with the teachings and practices of the religion with which they have previously been associated. Living to syncretize Christianity with non-Christian world religions is not a faith worth living for or dying for.
This movement is clearly in contradiction with the teachings of Jesus to those who would follow him. Jesus carried his cross and died on it for those who believe, and he calls on believers to take up their cross, follow him, and be willing to live publicly for him and, if need be, accept rejection by leaders of other religions, communities and families, even if such rejection includes dying for him.
"Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it (Matthew 10:34-39 ESV).
I know it's easy for me to say, and to criticize those who would find a way around it, but I too have a cross of self-denial to carry if I am to follow Jesus. I must kill my own sin (a struggle which involves suffering and risk of social rejection on my part), and publicly acknowledge Jesus as my Lord and Savior and associate myself formally with his people, the Church (Hebrews 10:25), serving him with my time, talent and treasure–loving, forgiving and giving to my brothers until it hurts. Should the time come that the culture or community in which I live demands that I deny my Lord Jesus Christ, I am called upon to defy such a demand and willingly suffer the consequences in reliance upon the grace and goodness of God, knowing that if such is happening to me, it is no more than what he sacrificed for me.
One of the interesting things about this movement which Dr. Garner points out in the article and the interview is that the intellectual source of such innovation in world missions comes from the same root as the church growth movement–Donald McGavran (d. 1990) and his School of Intercultural Studies at Fuller Theological Seminary (formerly the famous School of World Mission).
Donald Anderson McGavran (December 15, 1897–1990) was a missiologist who was the founding Dean (1965) and Professor of Mission, Church Growth, and South Asian Studies at the School of World Mission at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. A child of missionaries in India and later amissionary himself (1923–1961), McGavran spent most of his life trying to identify and overcome barriers to effective evangelism or Christian conversion.
McGavran identified differences of caste and economic social position as major barriers to the spread of Christianity. His work substantially changed the methods by which missionaries identify and prioritize groups of persons for missionary work and stimulated the Church Growth Movement. McGavran developed his church growth principles after rejecting the popular view that mission was 'philanthropy, education, medicine, famine relief, evangelism, and world friendship' and become convinced that good deeds – while necessary – 'must never replace the essential task of mission, discipling the peoples of the earth'. [HT: Wikipedia]
While McGavran's efforts in his time were more theologically conservative and a reaction against liberal missionary trends, a student of his named C. Peter Wagner built on McGavran's principles and create the church growth movement which has brought us such phenomena as seeker-sensitive worship and the modern megachurch. Incidentally, he is also the one who coined the phrase New Apostolic Reformation for the worldwide sweep of Charismatic and Word of Faith theology with a special emphasis on the restoration of the apostolic office, which movement in America has recently frightened the political Left because so many who would fall under this umbrella have modified the theonomist views of R. J. Rushdoony (for more on that, see this) and declared that they would "take dominion" over every sphere of influence in America.
Syncretism in the name of saving one's life is no way to spread Christianity. A new generation around the world must hear the age-old truism: "The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church" [paraphrasing Tertullian, Apology chapter 50].
Thankful for the Committee on Christian Education
I just finished watching the latest video uploaded to the Reformed Audio YouTube page, Rev. John Galbraith, Address at GA on 75th Anniversary of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. The Rev. Galbraith, age 98 at the time of the delivery of this address back in June of 2011, was in attendance and stood to vote for the founding of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church on June 11, 1936. The extent of his service to the church is outlined in the introductory material under the video on the YouTube page as follows:
Rev. John P. Galbraith, founding member of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church in 1936 and retired minister, addresses the General Assembly of the OPC's Committee on Christian Education on the 75th Anniversary of the OPC on June 11, 2011. Rev. Galbraith graduated from Westiminster Theological Seminary in 1937 (where he studied under J. Gresham Machen until his untimely death) and was ordained to the gospel ministry that same year. During his 75 years as a minister in Christ's church, Rev. Galbraith served as the pastor of three OPC churches, clerk of the OPC General Assembly for six years (1940, 1984-88), General Secretary of the Committee for Foreign Missions for thirty years, General Secretary of the Committee for Home Missions, and on numerous other denominational committees. In this address, at the age of 98 years old, he reflects on the mission of the OPC and God's goodness to the church for 75 years, as well as challenges the church faces. Introduction by Rev. Danny Olinger. For more of Rev. John Galbraith, please visit www.reformedaudio.org/Galbraith
In his address, Rev. Galbraith comments that J. Gresham Machen's "two pillars" of the church are that 1)The Bible is the Word of God, and 2) It Must Be Obeyed! Built upon these pillars, the young denomination would organize the Committees on Home and Foreign Missions in order to "speak to those who are without," and underscores how that it is the mission of the Committee on Christian Education to "speak to those who are within"–to teach the teachers. He goes on to urge the OPC to watch out for the inclusivism which ultimately destroyed the PCUSA, and commends toward that end a firm committment to the Westminster Standards as our corporate confession of our ultimate guide, the Bible. Finally, upon his conclusion and stirring recommendation, those in attendance rise to sing "All Hail the Power of Jesus Name."
You will be challenged and encouraged to renew your faith in and obedience to the Bible in this address.
Memoir of the Rev. John Brown, part 10
Celebrated Author
But Mr. Brown was not only distinguished as a minister of the gospel, and a teacher of divinity, he is celebrated also as an author. A strong desire to contribute towards the moral and religious improvement of mankind, and that he might, in some measure, be useful to the church of Christ, when he rested from his labours, weighed down every consideration of either profit or applause connected with his writings; indeed the pecuniary reward of all his labours, in this way, was but a matter of small account, never exceeding forty pounds. It was reserved, however, for his booksellers to reap a much more bountiful harvest; several of his works having already appeared in upwards of thirty, and some even in forty editions.
His first attempt as an author was his large work on the Catechism, which appeared in the year 1758; the next was a lesser work, also on the Catechism; and the rest of his works succeeded one another as circumstances seemed to render them necessary. (A modern edition is available from Reformation Heritage Books) That the doctrines he taught might appear with all the solidity and perspicuity in his power, he was at the extraordinary pains of writing his manuscripts thrice, and occasionally four times over, before they went to press; and frequently, after all this trouble in correcting, adding, and retrenching them, to request some one of his brethren to examine, and give his candid opinion concerning them.
But on none of his works has he bestowed so much labour as on his Dictionary of the Bible; a book of such diversified information, extensive research, and generally acknowledged utility, that it is doubtful if any work, of equal size, has hitherto appeared better calculated for assisting in the study of the Holy Scriptures, although now from the increased amount of information on scientific, historical, and other subjects, it necessarily is imperfect as compared with what he doubtless would have made it, had he possessed the opportunities of our day.
Memoir of the Rev. John Brown, part 9
Professor of Divinity
On the death of the Rev. J. Swanston of Kinross (1768), the professor of divinity for the Burgher branch of the Secession, Mr. Brown was elected to fill the vacant office; nor were they at all disappointed in their choice. The ability and attention with which he fulfilled the various duties of that important charge, met with universal approbation. He found it was absolutely necessary to support the dignity of a teacher amongst his students, but could not help discovering, at the same time, the affection and anxious solicitude of a father for his children, which, on their parts, was rewarded with confidence, love, and obedience.
He treated them with the greatest impartiality; or, if piety, talents, application, or exemplary conduct, in any case inclined him to a preference, he was careful that it should never be observed. To promote their best interests, he was unwearied in his labours of love. That he might satisfy himself that the young men were improving their time, he used to visit them at their lodgings early in the morning, to see that they were properly engaged.
The ordinary course of attendance on the divinity lectures was five sessions, of two months each. In his View of Natural and Revealed Religion, and the Cases of Conscience subjoined to his Practical Piety, we have a connected view of the substance of all these lectures. His General History of the Church, as well as that of the British Churches, were originally intended for the use of his students. He ever considered personal piety the most essential qualification for successfully discharging the various and important duties of the ministerial office; and accordingly pressed on his students the pre-eminent interest they themselves had in the doctrines they were to preach to others; assuring them, that divinity was to be studied in a very different way from that of a system of philosophy; and that, without heart-religion, they must necessarily continue unprofitable students of theology.
He urged, moreover, by all means to make themselves thoroughly acquainted with the oracles of God in the original languages; and, next to these, with the writings of Turretine, Owen, Boston, Fisher's Marrow of Modern Divinity, the Erskines, and Hervey's Theron and Aspasio, with his Defence against Wesley. The serious and solemn manner in which, on particular occasions, he was in the habit of addressing his students, but especially on parting at the end of the sessions, seldom failed in melting both the speaker and hearer into tears and of leaving the best impressions on their young minds; and the many able and acceptable ministers, in Great Britain and Ireland, who had been trained up under his tuition, afford the most convincing proof of his success in this department of his manifold labours.
Memoir of the Rev. John Brown, part 8
Presbyterian Polymath
The pastor of a large congregation has but little time to spare from the duties of his office, compared with one engaged with a less numerous charge. In this respect Mr. Brown found himself in his proper element at Haddington. There, without trenching on the duties of his office, he could devote a very considerable portion of his time to study; and this privilege he improved to the best advantage.
In the summer months his constant rule was to rise between four and five, and during the winter by six. From these early hours, till eight in the evening, excepting the time allotted to bodily refreshment, family worship, or when called away on the duties of office, he continued to prosecute his studies with unremitting application. To a mind so ardent in the acquisition of knowledge, with a judgment so clear, a retentive memory, and exertions so intense, it was by no means surprising that he became greatly superior to most men engaged in discharging the same sacred duties.
In acquiring the knowledge of languages, ancient or modern, he possessed a facility altogether his own. Without an instructor, unless for one month to start him in the Latin, as formerly mentioned, he soon got so far acquainted with that language as to relish its beauties; and, left to his own resources, though frequently but indifferently provided with the proper books, he soon became critically acquainted with the Greek, and especially the Hebrew. Of the living languages, he could read and translate the Arabic, Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic, the French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, and German.
With him natural history, civil law, natural and moral philosophy, were particular objects of research; but divinity, and the history of human affairs, sacred or civil, were his favourite studies; and his success in these departments of knowledge are visible in his various works.Among the writers on divinity with whom he was versant, we find that Turretine, Pietet, Mastrecht, and Owen, with Boston, Erskine, and Hervey, were the chief; which shows that he accounted sound divinity and accurate sentiment a far better recommendation of his author, than the flowing fancy, the brilliant style, or the harmonious period.
Though stimulated by a sense of duty, and strongly excited by inclination, to the study of divinity, such was his anxiety to become a universal scholar, that he made himself acquainted with the whole round of the sciences. In his reading, especially important works, he was in the habit of compendizing his author as he went along. In this way he abridged the whole of Blackstone's Commentaries, the ancient Universal History, and a number of other important works. This, however, is a method concerning which the learned hold different opinions. To lay aside the book, and abridge entirely from memory, and that in the writer's own language, without regarding the style of the author, will make the substance of the work more his own; which, with other reasons that might be named, seems to render it the more eligible method.
Christian Knowledge | East of Eden
The following episode of the Reformed Forum's new podcast, East of Eden, was tailor-made for the readers of this blog! East of Eden is a podcast devoted to discussing all things Jonathan Edwards. Not the recent politician with good hair and a bad reputation, but the eighteenth century preacher of the First Great Awakening who became known as the theologian of revival. In this week's episode, the co-hosts interview a guest to be named below as they discuss Edwards' sermon on "The Importance and Advantage of a Thorough Knowledge of Divine Truth." One comment made by Nick Batzig sums up nicely both the sermon and the theme of this blog: "You can have truth in the mind without godliness in the heart, but you can't have godliness in the heart without truth in the mind."
Later, I will update this post with a transcript of the context of the preceding quote. In the meantime, listen to the entire episode, "Christian Knowledge," to be challenged to inform your godliness with a thorough understanding of the truth which accords with godliness (Titus 1:1).

R.C. Sproul on the Current State of the Catholic/Protestant Divide
The contemporary spirit of the Evangelical movement is to lower the historic bar on the differences between Protestantism and Roman Catholicism. Since the 1994 statement Evangelicals and Catholics Together, things have gone from bad to worse. Enter R. C. Sproul, probably the premier Reformed and Protestant apologist of the 20th and early 21st century to stem the tide, and remind us all that not only are the historic distinctions between Protestantism and Roman Catholicism still there, but many more issues have further complicated the matter. Get informed on all the issues so that you may retain the courage to be Protestant (with apologies to David F. Wells)
In recent years, some evangelical Protestant leaders have signed statements pledging themselves to joint social action with Roman Catholics. Others have refused to participate, declaring that, in their view, the statements went too far, touching on the gospel, which remains a point of disagreement between Protestants and Roman Catholics. Many evangelical Christians have found themselves confused by the different directions taken by their leaders.
In Are We Together? A Protestant Analyzes Roman Catholicism, Dr. R.C. Sproul takes his stand for the cardinal doctrines of Protestantism in opposition to the errors of the Roman Catholic Church. Sproul, a passionate defender of the gospel of justification by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, cites the historic statements of the Protestant Reformers and the Roman Catholic authorities, then references modern doctrinal statements to show that the Roman Catholic Church has not altered its official positions. In light of this continuing gap, he writes, efforts by some in the evangelical camp to find common ground with Rome on matters at the heart of the gospel are nothing short of untrue to biblical teaching. In Sproul's estimation, the Reformation remains relevant.
Are We Together? is a clarion call to evangelicals to stand firm for the gospel, the precious good news of salvation as it is set forth in Scripture alone.

Exposing Myths Regarding Slavery and the Crusades
The September 9 episode of the White Horse Inn featured an interview between Michael Horton and Jeffery Burton Russell, author of Exoposing Myths About Christianity: A Guide to Answering 145 Viral Lies and Legends. The following is an edited excerpt from this interview, in which Russell summarizes in layman's terms common misconceptions about Christianity's guilt regarding chattel slavery and the Crusades. I hope you find these to be helpful thumbnail sketches:
Horton: The moral questions–that Christianity is intolerant–if you look back at the history of Christianity, very often that criticism is wrapped up in lots of things, like getting hit with tennis balls coming out of that machine; they're shooting at you so quickly you can't bat them away.
[They say] Christianity is intolerant. Look at slavery; look at the history of injustice towards women. There's just so many problems, that Christianity cannot possibly keep its promise to make the world a better place.
Russell: Yeah, let's just mention a couple of them. Let's look at slavery, for example. Well, it's precisely Christians who did away with slavery. People may point out that people had slaves; well, so did everybody else! Slavery was unfortunately a worldwide institution in the ancient world. The whole movement against slavery was started by Christians: by Catholic bishops and Protestant clergy. They were the great leaders of the movement, first to abolish the slave trade, and then to abolish slavery altogether. So, Christianity's record with regard to slavery is extremely good.
Unfortunately, we know that many of our founding fathers had slaves, but again, it was Christians, not atheists, who moved against the institution.
Then, on the intolerance question: people always raise questions about the Inquisition and the Crusades. The Crusades are somehow seen as a colonialist, Western invasion of indigenous peoples, and view it as a terrible thing. But people seem to be ignorant of the background of the Crusades.
The background of the Crusades is simply that all of the southern Mediterranean lands from Spain to all around North Africa, to as far as what's now Iraq and Iran–these were Christian territories with Christian populations. The great cities of Alexandria, Jerusalem and Antioch were the centers of Christian bishops, and this is a thoroughly Christian area up until the 600's. In the 600's, the Arabs quickly come out of Arabia. By 750 BC, the Muslims defeated the Byzantine Empire and occupied most of the Christian lands. So it's not as if Christians were attacking these innocent people who had been there for ages and ages.
Christians were fighting a defensive war. The immediate cause of the Crusades lies in the fact that most of the Muslim rulers that previously allowed Christians to go on pilgrimage to Jerusalem, had taken over Jerusalem, and by the 1080's were forbidding any Christians to go to Jerusalem, and that created a horrible reaction in Europe. So the Crusades were to open up the pilgrimages back to Jerusalem.
So, in a sense, there is no doubt that a lot of the Crusaders behaved very badly. We certainly have plenty of evidence of that. But the motive of the Crusades, and the motive of most of the Crusaders were to open up the pilgrimage to Jerusalem and to take back some territory that the Muslims had taken from them 400 years earlier.
Horton: So in many of these cases, one, it's just that we don't understand enough of the historical background; and two, that we sort of anachronistically project our standards of universal human rights on cultures that in any case–whether they were Christian, Muslim, Jewish, whatever—simply had no reference for what we are talking about.
Russell: Yeah. There's a lot of projection, on the part of historians in the last forty years, of modern values and attitudes back onto the past. It used to be that our aim was to open minds to the various ways of thinking: how did Babylonians think? How did the Chinese think? Christians, Jews and so forth. But now, most teaching of history seems to be very propagandistic. Instead of opening peoples' minds to various points of view, most historians seem to be imposing a particular ideology on their students and teaching them only one side of things.

Kim Couture won the order Wednesday against Affliction Inc. clothing company owner Todd Eugene Beard. She alleges in court documents that Beard has a violent criminal history and engaged in "threatening" actions. A court spokeswoman said the order restraining Beard from approaching Kim Couture was issued Wednesday by Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Doug Smith.
Couture took it one step further, Beard isn't free to attend this weekend's UFC fight card in Las Vegas:
Kim Couture also asked the judge to prohibit Beard from attending a UFC bout featuring Randy Couture this Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden arena.
This could get very ugly for Beard. The sordid details of his past and present behavior have never really surfaced. All of that may come to the forefront when this battle actually hits the courtroom.
Couture foreshadowed this action last week during a video interview with Yahoo! Sports. 'The Natural' shredded Beard and said that he no longer wants any part of the guy.

After being stood up by a bunch of high school friends that never gave be the time of day when I was there, I was looking forward to some female companionship just to sooth my bruised ego.
why wouldn't you take the $3, apply $2 yourself to your renewal, and spend the other $1 on a hamburger or something
Is the average person that pays for a Classmates.com subscription smart enough to figure that out?
Eventually their offspring will be so stupid even breeding won't be possible.

Yeah, i think meetup.com would do this. I remember tying to start a pickup soccer group a while back.. we had maybe a dozen people confirm a meeting, and then two showed up.

Press release from Business Wire
Papa John's Kicks off NFL Season with 2 Million Pizza Giveaway

 Peyton Manning and 'Papa' John Schnatter Featured in National Advertising Campaign that 'Raises the Stakes on Free Pizza'

 Consumers Registered for Papa Rewards Online Customer Loyalty Program Have Chance to Win One of 120,000 Free Pizzas Each Week during Regular Season

Thursday, September 06, 2012
Papa John's Kicks off NFL Season with 2 Million Pizza Giveaway09:30 EDT Thursday, September 06, 2012 LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Business Wire) -- Papa John's, the Official Pizza Sponsor of the NFL, is kicking off the 2012 NFL season where it left off at Super Bowl XLVI: by offering all of America the chance to win another free large one-topping pizza – again with the help of Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. Peyton Manning and "Papa" John Schnatter are back this NFL season giving more consumers a chance to win with the Two Million Pizza Giveaway. Members of Papa Rewards online customer loyalty program are eligible to win one of 120,000 pizzas given away each week of the NFL regular season. (Photo: Business Wire) Papa John's Founder, Chairman and CEO John Schnatter unveiled with Manning last night during NBC-TV's telecast of the NFL Kickoff game featuring the Dallas Cowboys and the Super Bowl XLVI Champion New York Giants that Papa John's will give away 2 million large one-topping pizzas to members of its Papa Rewards online customer loyalty program throughout the season – double the number of pizzas Papa John's gave away last regular season. The new promotion also follows one of the most anticipated "flips" in history, when Papa John's awarded a free pizza and 2-liter Pepsi MAX to all Papa Rewards members after America correctly called the coin toss for Super Bowl XLVI in February. In the new commercial that began airing last night in support of the 2 Million Pizza Giveaway, Manning – in Broncos gear on the field at Sports Authority Field at Mile High – "incorrectly" hears Schnatter regarding the number of free pizzas the brand will give away this regular season. Manning doubles Schnatter's total from 1 million to 2 million. The Papa John's Super Bowl Coin Toss Experience also found Manning in a humorous situation – this time as an NFL referee -- in which he incorrectly heard the call of a coin toss. The television commercial was supported by an integrated marketing campaign. "The new NFL season brings excitement on so many levels for all 32 teams and their passionate fans, including the return of Peyton Manning," Papa John's Chief Marketing Officer Andrew Varga said. "We're adding to the excitement by partnering with Peyton to raise the stakes on free pizza with the launch of Papa John's 2 Million Pizza Giveaway. All season long, our existing Papa Rewards members and new enrollees will have the opportunity to win a free large pizza – and continue earning free pizza fast by becoming members." Current Papa Rewards members and those who enroll at www.papajohns.com will have the chance to be randomly selected to receive one of the 120,000 free large one-topping pizzas each week of the regular season. Consumers must be members of Papa Rewards by midnight of the Sunday Night Football game on NBC to be eligible for that week's drawing. Winners will be notified that they won a free pizza each Thursday via email. The free pizza will be awarded in the form of a unique, one-time code redeemable only at papajohns.com. The code will be valid for approximately three weeks. Papa John's is in the third year of a multi-year sponsorship with the NFL and is also the Official Pizza of the Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, New York Giants, New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks, St. Louis Rams, Tennessee Titans and Washington Redskins. Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, Papa John's International, Inc. (NASDAQ: PZZA) is the world's third largest pizza company. For 11 of the past 13 years, consumers have rated Papa John's No. 1 in customer satisfaction among all national pizza chains in the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI). Papa John's also earned the 2012 Harris Poll EquiTrend® Pizza Brand of the Year. Papa John's is the Official Pizza Sponsor of the National Football League and Super Bowl XLVII.
