The fun-loving duo of Holy Ghost! polish eardrums with slick electropop, earning acclaim from such publications as Rolling Stone. Rather than hire a Shakespearean theater troupe to reenact New York's 1980s club scene, the musicians layer dance-friendly synthesizer melodies with beats that recall those of electrofunk forebears Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa. Costumed revelers can warm up their boogie muscles during opening sets by nu-disco trio Jessica 6 and DJ Eli Escobar, who will mix rap and disco house using an eggbeater and a bowl filled with quarter notes. Complimentary Monster energy drinks refuel bodies throughout the night, and barkeeps will craft cocktails for those age 21 and older. In addition to flaunting saucy duds, go-go dancers will stop by to demonstrate how to cut a rug or mow a lawn with a cubic-zirconium navel ring.
Though he was fed and cared for, the lion didn't have much room to roam aboard his owner's yacht. The owner didn't know what to do with the creature, which had grown too close to humans to socialize with other lions. So the owner reached out through a friend to Acadia Zoological Park, who took the lion in and gave him his own piece of land. Though the park's name has since changed to Kisma Preserve, the lion still lives on its grounds, alongside a host of other exotic animals that the three staff members have taken in from rehabilitation programs, zoos, and private owners. They care for a motley and majestic group of wolves, big cats, reptiles, birds, and primates in outdoor enclosures year-round.
The three guides—who also are handlers, feeders, and administrators—lead group tours among these habitats. During tours, they teach visitors the proper way to behave around the creatures and divulge details about the creatures' lives in the wild, as well as what brought them to the preserve. On animal encounters, zookeepers let visitors watch wolves during their daily socializing or feed and hold hands with gibbons, lemurs, and capuchin monkeys.
They can also grant visitors a closer look via private tours, in which guests experience one-on-one time with wolves, tortoises, alligators, and other animals. Though they love all the animals on their preserve, the guides are particularly proud of their tigers—a group of royal white and standard tigers, as well as one of only 50 known golden tabby tigers left in the world. Through each tour and encounter, the dedicated staff aims to engender the respect they have for these animals in others. To most visitors, that should come easily: as director Heather says about the tigers, "It's hard to stand in the presence of one and not feel something."

The Best Fall Coats For Your Body Type
Digital Fashion Writer
Look, I get it: a coat is not a bandage dress. I too will buy one based on its style without any regard for what wrapping my body in it does for my figure (right now, I'm into cocoon coats). Still, just because it's not clingy or skimpy or body-con doesn't mean that a coat can't change the way your body looks. Sometimes it's as obvious as the cut (is it waist-cinching?) and sometimes it's as subtle as the size of the lapel or the placement of the buttons, but either way, a coat's shape, print and details do pack definite visual effects.
I mean, I woldn't get too vain about it; there are enough "how do I look in this?" skimpy dresses and skinny jeans and crop tops in the world as it is. And I'll probably still buy a giant cocoon coat even though I'm six feet tall and might look like the abominable snowman. But does that mean I can't also look for a coat that I know follows certain figure-flattering tenets, like ones of these in the slideshow above? No. Absolutely not. In fact, I'd recommend it, and this fall, I'll being doing both.

The worst kept secret of the Hot Stove League
became reality today when Billy Beane
officially announced that the A's have signed Coco Crisp (right) –aka, "The Cereal
Man"–for the upcoming 2010 season.
For some Oakland
fans, the signing was unexpected and maybe even a bit bewildering. With Rajai Davis (below) blossoming into a legitimate center fielder,
leadoff hitter and stolen base threat in 2009, it would seem the A's would not
be seeking another player with similar attributes. Whether the merits of this deal will stand on
its own remains to be seen, but anyone who knows Mr. Moneyball would never rule
out that this is only the first step towards a bigger-picture reshaping of the
team that might involve subsequent player moves.
That said, let's just look at what Crisp–stop
laughing, that's his legal
name!–gives the 2010 A's. He gives us
improved speed and defense, and he adds a veteran major league hitter. Much like Adam Kennedy gave us last season, Coco
is just a flat-out baseball player. He
can help a team win games in many different ways, whether it is with his bat,
his glove, his arm or his legs. So,
while many would have anticipated that the Athletics' first big move of the
winter would be adding a powerful bat, the addition of Crisp should prompt us
to ask this simple question: are we a
better team now than before his signing?
It will be interesting, however, to see how this plays out. Does Crisp play center field and Davis moves
to left? Where does the A's newest
addition hit in the order? Or, as I
said, does the arrival of Crisp begin the process of subsequent trades or
transactions in the next month or two?
What I do know, though, is the A's continue
their long tradition of featuring players with colorful names. You would think Coco Crisp immediately makes
our Top 10 All-Name Team in franchise history.
In the modern era, he's a shoo-in to join the likes of Shooty Babitt, Vida Blue, Campy Campaneris, Blue Moon
Odom, Catfish Hunter and Mudcat Grant in that upper echelon of monikers.
However, I'm not sure whether he would crack the
Top 10 names if you include the early years when the Athletics played in Philadelphia. Check out this Top 10 list of pre-1940
players on our all-time roster: Bock Baker (1901), Topsy Hartsel (1902-11), Socks Seibold (1915-17, 1919), Moxie Divis (1916), Ping Bodie (1917), Mule Haas (1928-32, 1938), Bevo LeBourveau (1929), Wedo Martini (1935), Rabbitt Warstler (1934-36) and Skeeter Newsome (1935-39).
with that sterling note, we conclude our blog entries for 2009. We're closing the office for the remaining
days of December, and I must say, for our son, Luke, Coca Crisp will only rank
second on the All-Name Team. The leader
in the Rose Clubhouse is another 2009 free agent. Goes by the name of Santa Claus. I think he
might be another one of those talented Dominican shortstops. Here's hoping you enjoy the most precious
gifts of all–your family and friends–as we all celebrate this joyous holiday
season. Pitchers and catchers report to Phoenix Feb. 20. See you next year!

Your blog has been a breath of fresh air in this winter offseason. Thank you for taking the time to write such fascinating and insightful posts.
Looking forward to hearing from you in 2010!
I wanted to add a comment about the "funny names" section:
Several years ago, I kinda laughed at the Cleveland Indians for having a couple comically named people. Ironically enough, both players have now come through Oakland. Coco Crisp, the new one, which you cited, and then there was Milton Bradley. I laughed when the A's acquired Bradley, wondering when the A's would also acquire the Parker Brothers.

Job's former comforts. (1-6) The honour paid to Job, His usefulness. (7-17) His prospect of prosperity. (18-25)
Verses 1-6 Job proceeds to contrast his former prosperity with his present misery, through God's withdrawing from him. A gracious soul delights in God's smiles, not in the smiles of this world. Four things were then very pleasant to holy Job. 1. The confidence he had in the Divine protection. 2. The enjoyment he had of the Divine favour. 3. The communion he had with the Divine word. 4. The assurance he had of the Divine presence. God's presence with a man in his house, though it be but a cottage, makes it a castle and a palace. Then also he had comfort in his family. Riches and flourishing families, like a candle, may be soon extinguished. But when the mind is enlightened by the Holy Spirit, when a man walks in the light of God's countenance, every outward comfort is doubled, every trouble is diminished, and he may pass cheerfully by this light through life and through death. Yet the sensible comfort of this state is often withdrawn for a season; and commonly this arises from sinful neglect, and grieving the Holy Spirit: sometimes it may be a trial of a man's faith and grace. But it is needful to examine ourselves, to seek for the cause of such a change by fervent prayer, and to increase our watchfulness.
Verses 7-17 All sorts of people paid respect to Job, not only for the dignity of his rank, but for his personal merit, his prudence, integrity, and good management. Happy the men who are blessed with such gifts as these! They have great opportunities of honouring God and doing good, but have great need to watch against pride. Happy the people who are blessed with such men! it is a token for good to them. Here we see what Job valued himself by, in the day of his prosperity. It was by his usefulness. He valued himself by the check he gave to the violence of proud and evil men. Good magistrates must thus be a restraint to evil-doers, and protect the innocent; in order to this, they should arm themselves with zeal and resolution. Such men are public blessings, and resemble Him who rescues poor sinners from Satan. How many who were ready to perish, now are blessing Him! But who can show forth His praises? May we trust in His mercy, and seek to imitate His truth, justice, and love.
Verses 18-25 Being thus honoured and useful, Job had hoped to die in peace and honour, in a good old age. If such an expectation arise from lively faith in the providence and promise of God, it is well; but if from conceit of our own wisdom, and dependence on changeable, earthly things, it is ill grounded, and turns to sin. Every one that has the spirit of wisdom, has not the spirit of government; but Job had both. Yet he had the tenderness of a comforter. This he thought upon with pleasure, when he was himself a mourner. Our Lord Jesus is a King who hates iniquity, and upon whom the blessing of a world ready to perish comes. To Him let us give ear.
1. Job pauses for a reply. None being made, he proceeds to illustrate the mysteriousness of God's dealings, as set forth ( Job 28:1-28 ) by his own case.
2. preserved me--from calamity.
3. candle--when His favor shone on me
darkness--By His safeguard I passed secure through dangers. Perhaps alluding to the lights carried before caravans in nightly travels through deserts [NOYES].
4. youth--literally, "autumn"; the time of the ripe fruits of my prosperity. Applied to youth, as the Orientalists began their year with autumn, the most temperate season in the East.
secret--when the intimate friendship of God rested on my tent ( Proverbs 3:32 , Psalms 31:20 , Genesis 18:17 , John 15:15 ). The Hebrew often means a divan for deliberation.
6. butter--rather, "cream," literally, "thick milk." Wherever I turned my steps, the richest milk and oil flowed in to me abundantly. Image from pastoral life.
When I washed my steps--Literal washing of the feet in milk is not meant, as the second clause shows; Margin, "with me," that is, "near" my path, wherever I walked ( Deuteronomy 32:13 ). Olives amidst rocks yield the best oil. Oil in the East is used for food, light, anointing, and medicine.
7-10. The great influence Job had over young and old, and noblemen.
through . . . street!--rather, When I went out of my house, in the country (see Job 1:1 , prologue) to the gate (ascending), up to the city (which was on elevated ground), and when I prepared my (judicial) seat in the market place. The market place was the place of judgment, at the gate or propylæa of the city, such as is found in the remains of Nineveh and Persepolis ( Isaiah 59:14 , Psalms 55:11 , 127:5 ).
8. hid--not literally; rather, "stepped backwards," reverentially. The aged, who were already seated, arose and remained standing (Hebrew) until Job seated himself. Oriental manners.
9. ( Job 4:2 ;
Refrained talking--stopped in the middle of their speech.
10. Margin, "voice--hid," that is, "hushed" ( Ezekiel 3:26 ).
Tongue cleaved, &c.--that is, awed by my presence, the emirs or sheiks were silent.
11. blessed--extolled my virtues ( Proverbs 31:28 ). Omit "me" after "heard"; whoever heard of me (in general, not in the market place, Job 29:7-10 ) praised me.
gave witness--to my honorable character. Image from a court of justice ( Luke 4:22 ).
the eye--that is, "face to face"; antithesis to
ear--that is, report of me.
12-17. The grounds on which Job was praised ( Job 29:11 ), his helping the afflicted ( Psalms 72:12 ) who cried to him for help, as a judge, or as one possessed of means of charity. Translate: "The fatherless who had none to help him."
13. So far was I from sending "widows" away empty ( Job 22:9 ).
ready to perish--( Proverbs 31:6 ).
14. ( Isaiah 61:10 , 1 Chronicles 12:18 ).
diadem--tiara. Rather, "turban," "head-dress." It and the full flowing outer mantle or "robe," are the prominent characteristics of an Oriental grandee's or high priest's dress ( Zechariah 3:5 ). So Job's righteousness especially characterized him.
15. Literally, "the blind" ( Deuteronomy 27:18 ); "lame" ( 2 Samuel 9:13 ); figuratively, also the spiritual support which the more enlightened gives to those less so ( Job 4:3 , Hebrews 12:13 , Numbers 10:31 ).
16. So far was I from "breaking the arms of the fatherless," as Eliphaz asserts ( Job 22:9 ), I was a "father" to such.
the cause which I knew not--rather, "of him whom I knew not," the stranger ( Proverbs 29:7 [UMBREIT]; contrast Luke 18:1 , &c.). Applicable to almsgiving ( Psalms 41:1 ); but here primarily, judicial conscientiousness ( Job 31:13 ).
17. Image from combating with wild beasts ( Job 4:11 , Psalms 3:7 ). So compassionate was Job to the oppressed, so terrible to the oppressor!
jaws--Job broke his power, so that he could do no more hurt, and tore from him the spoil, which he had torn from others.
18. I said--in my heart ( Psalms 30:6 ).
in--rather, "with my nest"; as the second clause refers to long life. Instead of my family dying before me, as now, I shall live so long as to die with them: proverbial for long life. Job did realize his hope ( Job 42:16 ). However, in the bosom of my family, gives a good sense ( Numbers 24:21 , Obadiah 1:4 ). Use "nest" for a secure dwelling.
sand--( Genesis 22:17 , Habakkuk 1:9 ). But the Septuagint and Vulgate, and Jewish interpreters, favor the translation, "the phoenix bird." "Nest" in the parallel clause supports the reference to a bird. "Sand" for multitude, applies to men, rather than to years. The myth was, that the phoenix sprang from a nest of myrrh, made by his father before death, and that he then came from Arabia (Job's country) to Heliopolis (the city of the Sun) in Egypt, once in every five hundred years, and there burnt his father [HERODOTUS, 2:73]. Modern research has shown that this was the Egyptian mode of representing hieroglyphically a particular chronological era or cycle. The death and revival every five hundred years, and the reference to the sun, implies such a grand cycle commencing afresh from the same point in relation to the sun from which the previous one started. Job probably refers to this.
19. Literally, "opened to the waters." Opposed to Job 18:16 . Vigorous health.
20. My renown, like my bodily health, was continually fresh.
bow--Metaphor from war, for, my strength, which gains me "renown," was ever renewed ( Jeremiah 49:35 ).
21. Job reverts with peculiar pleasure to his former dignity in assemblies ( Job 29:7-10 ).
22. not again--did not contradict me.
dropped--affected their minds, as the genial rain does the soil on which it gently drops ( Amos 7:16 , Deuteronomy 32:2 , Solomon 4:11 ).
23. Image of Job 29:22 continued. They waited for my salutary counsel, as the dry soil does for the refreshing rain.
opened . . . mouth--panted for; Oriental image ( Psalms 119:131 ). The "early rain" is in autumn and onwards, while the seed is being sown. The "latter rain" is in March, and brings forward the harvest, which ripens in May or June. Between the early and latter rains, some rain falls, but not in such quantities as those rains. Between March and October no rain falls ( Deuteronomy 11:14 , 5:7 ).
24. When I relaxed from my wonted gravity (a virtue much esteemed in the East) and smiled, they could hardly credit it; and yet, notwithstanding my condescension, they did not cast aside reverence for my gravity. But the parallelism is better in UMBREIT'S translation, "I smiled kindly on those who trusted not," that is, in times of danger I cheered those in despondency. And they could not cast down (by their despondency) my serenity of countenance (flowing from trust in God) ( Proverbs 16:15 , Psalms 104:15 ). The opposite phrase ( Genesis 4:5 Genesis 4:6 ). "Gravity" cannot well be meant by "light of countenance."
25. I chose out their way--that is, I willingly went up to their assembly (from my country residence, Job 29:7 ).
in the army--as a king supreme in the midst of his army.
comforteth the mourners--Here again Job unconsciously foreshadows Jesus Christ ( Isaiah 61:2 Isaiah 61:3 ). Job's afflictions, as those of Jesus Christ, were fitting him for the office hereafter ( Isaiah 50:4 , Hebrews 2:18 ).

Flat Sandals for Every Occasion—Because Who Needs Heels?

So just in time for warm weather dressing, I've sorted it out for you, with a handful of sandals that work best for each situation. Not liking your feet would be your only reason for not buying a pair, because whether they're formal enough to wear to the office or waterproof enough for the beach, these sandals are kind of awesome.

The Eagles, at 10-2, advanced to the second round by winning a tough 49-36 game against Okolona last week, while Ackerman cruised past the Broad Street Jaguars 38-0 in the first round last week. West Bolivar and Ackerman faced each other in the third round last year with West Bolivar winning 34-3. In 2009, Ackerman defeated West Bolivar 21-6 to win the 2A North Half Title.
West Bolivar is in the state playoffs for the 28th time, while Ackerman is in the playoffs for the 25 time in its history. West Bolivar has won five state titles in its history, while Ackerman has two state titles.
"It's going to be a pretty good ball game," West Bolivar head coach Henry Johnson said. "They've got a good football team. They are very sound and play hard. They're a well coached team. We are going to have to match their intensity. We're going to have to execute well and eliminate mistakes."
In preparation for Friday's game, the Eagles have worked hard to correct the mistake made against Okolona. The 36 points West Bolivar gave up was the most the team has yielded since losing to Aberdeen 45-28 on Sept. 14.
"Defensively, we just had some breakdowns and breakdowns on special teams," Johnson said. "You can't do that in the playoffs. We went back and tried to correct it. William Lloyd being out in the first half didn't help us."
On offense for West Bolivar, senior quarterback Kylan Johnson has completed 69-of-129 passes for 1,221 yards with 14 touchdowns and just two interceptions, while senior running back Kailo Moore has rushed for a team-leading 821 yards with 14 touchdowns on 89 carries. Senior running back Trevoris Hampton has also had a good year by rushing for 728 yards with a team-high18 touchdowns on 86 carries.
On defense for West Bolivar, senior linebacker William Lloyd (115 tackles) and junior defensive lineman Ladarius Tucker (72 tackles, 4 sacks) have been solid leaders for the Eagles.
For Ackerman on offense, senior quarterback Dakota Brasher has completed 72-of-140 passes for 1,358 yards with 16 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Senior wide receiver Quinton Lane has been his primary target, catching 25 passes for 616 yards with eight touchdowns.
For Ackerman on defense, senior defensive end Alex Foust (71 tackles) have led the Indians.
The winner of the West Bolivar-Ackerman game will take on the winner of the Bruce East Webster game in the third round next week.
Kickoff for Friday's game is set for 7 p.m.

Fresh-cut produce items are ready for their close-up at the July 14-17 School Nutrition Association annual national conference at Bartle Hall in Kansas City, Mo.
Packaged fruit and vegetable options have been a rising influence at the show, said Diane Pratt-Heavner, director of media relations for the National Harbor, Md.-based association.
That trend is expected to be strengthened because of the "Smart Snacks in Schools," which gives fruit and vegetables a hall pass to all U.S. schools as a healthy snack option. The U.S. Department of Agriculture appoved the rule June 27, she said.
All companies offering individual-sized fresh-cut fruits and vegetables have a chance to grow their sales to schools, Lorelei DiSogra, vice president for nutrition and health at the United Fresh Produce Association, Washington, D.C., said. Some of the potential winners are fresh-cut apple slices, baby carrots, fresh fruit cups, pineapple spears and bananas, she said.
Fresh fruit and vegetable exhibitors at the school association conference include Chiquita Brands International, DNO Inc., Grimmway Farms, HMC Farms, NatureSeal Inc., Pear Bureau Northwest and The Mushroom Council.
Grab-and-go options like baby carrots, apple slices and grapes are already popular, and more fresh produce options are likely, Pratt-Heavner said.
"We always have a couple of vendors that are offering healthy vending options and actual machines as well," she said.
Alex Dinovo, vice president of DNO Inc., Columbus, Ohio, said one challenge to putting fresh produce in school vending machines is that some of the more appealing fresh-cut produce items — such as pineapple spears — have a shorter shelf life. Fresh produce items also will cost more than processed items like chips.
Spencer Cox, president of Vending Services Inc., Des Moines, Iowa, said his company doesn't have any school accounts. However, Cox said he feels the USDA approach of demanding all items in the vending machines to be healthy is sound. Otherwise, he said healthy items may spoil as kids pass over baby carrots to choose Pop Tarts or Snickers bars.
Lisa McNeece, vice president of foodservice and industrial sales at Grimmway Farms, Bakersfield, Calif., said she believes there is huge opportunity for produce suppliers of all kinds in schools. "If students are presented with the products and opportunities to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, they are definitely going to consume them," she said. "If you teach them young, it will stay with them through their life," she said.

Dime Q&A: Israeli Basketball Writer David Pick Talks Euroleague, Maccabi Tel Aviv and LeBron James
Israel is known as the Holy Land and a place rich with history and culture, but what many people don't know is that it is also home to high level basketball. Since 2000, Israel has been one of the biggest basketball hotbeds in Europe. Maccabi Tel Aviv, Israel's top team, won Euroleague titles in 2001, 2004, and 2005, and reached the Euroleague title game in 2006 and 2008. They also produced NBA players Anthony Parker, Omri Casspi, Maceo Baston, and Sarunas Jasikevicius, and beat the Toronto Raptors in an exhibition game, 105-103, in 2005. Additionally, many NBA players including Jordan Farmar, Trevor Booker, J.J. Hickson, and Avery Bradley spent the lockout playing in Israel. I caught up with David Pick, a writer for Eurobasket.com covering the Euroleague and Israeli basketball, to talk about the lockout, the Israeli Super League, and LeBron James. Read More »

Paul instructs the disciples of John at Ephesus. (1-7) He teaches there. (8-12) The Jewish exorcists disgraced. Some Ephesians burn their evil books. (13-20) The tumult at Ephesus. (21-31) The tumult appeased. (32-41)
Verses 1-7 Paul, at Ephesus, found some religious persons, who looked to Jesus as the Messiah. They had not been led to expect the miraculous powers of the Holy Ghost, nor were they informed that the gospel was especially the ministration of the Spirit. But they spake as ready to welcome the notice of it. Paul shows them that John never design that those he baptized should rest there, but told them that they should believe on Him who should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. They thankfully accepted the discovery, and were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. The Holy Ghost came upon them in a surprising, overpowering manner; they spake with tongues, and prophesied, as the apostles and the first Gentile coverts did. Though we do not now expect miraculous powers, yet all who profess to be disciples of Christ, should be called on to examine whether they have received the seal of the Holy Ghost, in his sanctifying influences, to the sincerity of their faith. Many seem not to have heard that there is a Holy Ghost, and many deem all that is spoken concerning his graces and comforts, to be delusion. Of such it may properly be inquired, "Unto what, then, were ye baptized?" for they evidently know not the meaning of that outward sign on which they place great dependence.
Verses 8-12 When arguments and persuasions only harden men in unbelief and blasphemy, we must separate ourselves and others from such unholy company. God was pleased to confirm the teaching of these holy men of old, that if their hearers believed them not, they might believe the works.
Verses 13-20 It was common, especially among the Jews, for persons to profess or to try to cast out evil spirits. If we resist the devil by faith in Christ, he will flee from us; but if we think to resist him by the using of Christ's name, or his works, as a spell or charm, Satan will prevail against us. Where there is true sorrow for sin, there will be free confession of sin to God in every prayer and to man whom we have offended, when the case requires it. Surely if the word of God prevailed among us, many lewd, infidel, and wicked books would be burned by their possessors. Will not these Ephesian converts rise up in judgement against professors, who traffic in such works for the sake of gain, or allow themselves to possess them? If we desire to be in earnest in the great work of salvation, every pursuit and enjoyment must be given up which hinders the effect of the gospel upon the mind, or loosens its hold upon the heart.
Verses 21-31 Persons who came from afar to pay their devotions at the temple of Ephesus, bought little silver shrines, or models of the temple, to carry home with them. See how craftsmen make advantage to themselves of people's superstition, and serve their worldly ends by it. Men are jealous for that by which they get their wealth; and many set themselves against the gospel of Christ, because it calls men from all unlawful crafts, however much wealth is to be gotten by them. There are persons who will stickle for what is most grossly absurd, unreasonable, and false; as this, that those are gods which are made with hands, if it has but worldly interest on its side. The whole city was full of confusion, the common and natural effect of zeal for false religion. Zeal for the honour of Christ, and love to the brethren, encourage zealous believers to venture into danger. Friends will often be raised up among those who are strangers to true religion, but have observed the honest and consistent behaviour of Christians.
Verses 32-41 The Jews came forward in this tumult. Those who are thus careful to distinguish themselves from the servants of Christ now, and are afraid of being taken for them, shall have their doom accordingly in the great day. One, having authority, at length stilled the noise. It is a very good rule at all times, both in private and public affairs, not to be hasty and rash in our motions, but to take time to consider; and always to keep our passions under check. We ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly; to do nothing in haste, of which we may repent at leisure. The regular methods of the law ought always to stop popular tumults, and in well-governed nations will do so. Most people stand in awe of men's judgments more than of the judgement of God. How well it were if we would thus quiet our disorderly appetites and passions, by considering the account we must shortly give to the Judge of heaven and earth! And see how the overruling providence of God keeps the public peace, by an unaccountable power over the spirits of men. Thus the world is kept in some order, and men are held back from devouring each other. We can scarcely look around but we see men act like Demetrius and the workmen. It is as safe to contend with wild beasts as with men enraged by party zeal and disappointed covetousness, who think that all arguments are answered, when they have shown that they grow rich by the practices which are opposed. Whatever side in religious disputes, or whatever name this spirit assumes, it is worldly, and should be discountenanced by all who regard truth and piety. And let us not be dismayed; the Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters; he can still the rage of the people.
Acts 19:1-41 . SIGNAL SUCCESS OF PAUL AT EPHESUS.
1-3. while Apollos was at Corinth--where his ministry was so powerful that a formidable party in the Church of that city gloried in his type of preaching in preference to Paul's ( 1 Corinthians 1:12 , 3:4 ), no doubt from the marked infusion of Greek philosophic culture which distinguished it, and which the apostle studiously avoided ( 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 ).
Paul having passed through the upper coasts--"parts," the interior of Asia Minor, which, with reference to the seacoast, was elevated.
came to Ephesus--thus fulfilling his promise ( Acts 18:21 ).
finding certain disciples--in the same stage of Christian knowledge as Apollos at first, newly arrived, probably, and having had no communication as yet with the church at Ephesus.
2. Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?--rather, "Received ye the Holy Ghost when ye believed?" implying, certainly, that the one did not of necessity carry the other along with it but it was probably in consequence of something that passed between them from which the apostle was led to suspect the imperfection of their light.
We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost--This cannot be the meaning, since the personality and office of the Holy Ghost, in connection with Christ, formed an especial subject of the Baptist's teaching. Literally, the words are, "We did not even hear whether the Holy Ghost was (given)"; meaning, at the time of their baptism. That the word "given" is the right supplement, as in John 7:39 , seems plain from the nature of the case.
4. Then said Paul, John . . . baptized with the baptism of repentance--water unto repentance.
saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him--that is, who should baptize with the Holy Ghost. The point of contrast is not between John and Christ personally, but between the water baptism of John unto repentance, and the promised baptism of the Spirit from the hands of his coming Master unto new life. As to all the facts, or at least the significancy, of this baptism, which made the whole life and work of Christ another thing from what it was conceived to be before it was vouchsafed, these simple disciples were unenlightened.
5-7. When they heard this--not the mere words reported in Acts 19:4 , but the subject expounded according to the tenor of those words.
they were baptized--not however by Paul himself ( 1 Corinthians 1:14 ).
in the name of the Lord Jesus--into the whole fulness of the new economy, as now opened up to their believing minds.
6. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them . . . they spake with
8-10. he went into the synagogue and spake boldly for . . . three
9. when divers--"some."
were hardened, &c.--implying that others, probably a large number, believed.
spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed--from the synagogue, as at Corinth ( Acts 18:7 ).
and separated the disciples--withdrawing to a separate place of meeting, for the sake both of the converts already made, and the unsophisticated multitude.
disputing--"discoursing" or "discussing."
daily in the school--or lecture hall.
of one Tyrannus--probably a converted teacher of rhetoric or philosophy.
10. this continued . . . two years--in addition to the former three But during some part of this period he must have paid a second unrecorded visit to Corinth, since the one is twice called his third visit ( 2 Corinthians 12:14 , 13:1 ). which might seem inconsistent with this. The passage across was quite a short one the close of this long stay at Ephesus, as we learn from 1 Corinthians 16:8 , he wrote his FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS; also (though on this opinions are divided) the EPISTLE TO THE to Galatians). And just as at Corinth his greatest success was after his withdrawal to a separate place of meeting ( Acts 18:7-10 ), so at Ephesus.
so that all they which dwelt in--the Roman province of
Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks--This is the "great door and effectual opened unto him" while resident at Ephesus ( 1 Corinthians 16:9 ), which induced him to make it his headquarters for so long a period. The unwearied and varied character of his labors here are best seen in his own subsequent address to the elders of Ephesus ( Acts 20:17 , &c.). And thus Ephesus became the "ecclesiastical center for the entire region, as indeed it remained for a very long period" [BAUMGARTEN]. Churches arose at Colosse, Laodicea, and Hierapolis eastward, either through his own labors or those of his faithful helpers whom he sent out in different directions, Epaphras, Archippus, Philemon ( Colossians 1:7 , 4:12-17 , philemon 1:1 1:23 ).
11, 12. God wrought special--no ordinary
miracles by the hands of Paul--implying that he had not been accustomed to work such.
12. So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, &c.--Compare Acts 5:15 Acts 5:16 , very different from the magical acts practiced at Ephesus. "God wrought these miracles" merely "by the hands of Paul"; and the very exorcists ( Acts 19:13 ), observing that the name of Jesus was the secret of all his miracles, hoped, by aping him in this, to be equally successful; while the result of all in the "magnifying of the Lord Jesus" ( Acts 19:17 ) showed that in working them the apostle took care to hold up Him whom he preached as the source of all the miracles which he wrought.
13. vagabond Jews--simply, "wandering Jews," who went from place to place practicing exorcism, or the art of conjuring evil spirits to depart out of the possessed. That such a power did exist, for some time at least, seems implied in Matthew 12:27 . But no doubt this would breed imposture; and the present case is very different from that referred to in Luke 9:49 Luke 9:50 .
We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth--a striking testimony to the power of Christ's name in Paul's mouth.
14-17. seven sons of . . . Sceva . . . chief of the priests--head, possibly, of one of the twenty-four courts.
15. the evil spirit answered, Jesus I know--"recognize."
and Paul I know--"know intimately," in contrast to them, whom he altogether disowns.
but who are ye?
16. And the man in whom the evil spirit was--Mark the clear line of demarcation here between "the evil spirit which answered and said" and "the man in whom the evil spirit was." The reality of such possessions could not be more clearly expressed.
leaped on them . . . so that they fled . . . naked and wounded--This was so appalling a testimony at once against those profane impostors and in favor of Paul and the Master whom he preached, that we wonder not that it spread to "all the Jews and Greeks at Ephesus, that fear fell on them," and that "the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified."
18-20. many that believed came and confessed . . . their deeds--the dupes of magicians, &c., acknowledging how shamefully they had been deluded, and how deeply they had allowed themselves to be implicated in such practices.
19. Many of them . . . which used curious arts--The word signifies things "overdone"; significantly applied to arts in which laborious but senseless incantations are practiced.
brought their books--containing the mystic formularies.
and burned them before all--The tense, here used graphically, expresses progress and continuance of the conflagration.
counted the price . . . and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver--probably about $10,000 (presuming it to be the drachma). From their nature they would be costly, and books then bore a value above any standard we are familiar with. The scene must have been long remembered at Ephesus, as a strong proof of honest conviction on the part of the sorcerers and a striking triumph of Jesus Christ over the powers of darkness. The workers of evil were put to scorn, like Baal's priests on Carmel, and the word of God mightily grew and prevailed [HOWSON].
21, 22. After these things were ended--completed, implying something like a natural finish to his long period of labor at Ephesus.
Paul purposed . . . when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem . . . After I have been there, I must also see Rome--Mark here the vastness of the apostle's missionary plans. They were all fulfilled, though he "saw Rome" only as a prisoner.
22. So he sent into Macedonia . . . Timotheus and Erastus--as his pioneers, in part to bring "them into remembrance of his ways which were in Christ" ( 1 Corinthians 4:17 , 16:10 ), partly to convey his mind on various matters. After a brief stay he was to return ( 1 Corinthians 16:11 ). It is very unlikely that this Erastus was "the chamberlain of the city" of Corinth, of that name ( Romans 16:23 ).
he himself stayed in--the province of
Asia for a season--that is, at Ephesus, its chief city. (Asia is mentioned in contrast with Macedonia in the previous clause).
23. the same time--of Paul's proposed departure.
about that--"the"
way--So the new religion seemed then to be designated ( Acts 9:2 , 22:4 , 24:14 ).
24-26. silver shrines for--"of"
Diana--small models of the Ephesian temple and of the shrine or chapel of the goddess, or of the shrine and statue alone, which were purchased by visitors as memorials of what they had seen, and were carried about and deposited in houses as a charm. (The models of the chapel of our Lady of Loretto, and such like, which the Church of Rome systematically encourages, are such a palpable imitation of this heathen practice that it is no wonder it should be regarded by impartial judges as Christianity paganized).
gain to the craftsmen--the master-artificers.
25. Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation--rather, "with the workmen (or fabricators) of such articles," meaning the artisans employed by the master-artificers, all who manufactured any kind of memorial of the temple and its worship for sale.
26. ye see and hear--The evidences of it were to be seen, and the report of it was in everybody's mouth.
that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath . . . turned away much people--Noble testimony this to the extent of Paul's influence!
saying that they be no gods which are made with hands--The universal belief of the people was that they were gods, though the more intelligent regarded them only as habitations of Deity, and some, probably, as mere aids to devotion. It is exactly so in the Church of Rome.
27. So that not only this our craft is in danger . . . but, &c.--that is, "that indeed is a small matter; but there is something far worse." So the masters of the poor Pythoness put forward the religious revolution which Paul was attempting to effect at Philippi, as the sole cause of their zealous alarm, to cloak the self-interest which they felt to be touched by his success ( Acts 16:19-21 ). In both cases religious zeal was the hypocritical pretext; self-interest, the real moving cause of the opposition made.
also the temple of the great goddess Diana . . . despised, and her magnificence . . . destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth--It was reckoned one of the wonders of the world. It was built about 550 B.C., of pure white marble, and though burned by a fanatic on the night of the birth of Alexander the Great, 356 B.C., was rebuilt with more splendor than before. It was four hundred twenty-five feet long by two hundred twenty broad, and the columns, one hundred twenty-seven in number, were sixty feet in height, each of them the gift of a king, and thirty-six of them enriched with ornament and color. It was constantly receiving new decorations and additional buildings, statues, and pictures by the most celebrated artists, and kindled unparalleled admiration, enthusiasm, and superstition. Its very site is now a matter of uncertainty. The little wooden image of Diana was as primitive and rude as its shrine was sumptuous; not like the Greek Diana, in the form of an imposing huntress, but quite Asiatic, in the form of a many-breasted female (emblematic of the manifold ministrations of Nature to man), terminating in a shapeless block. Like some other far-famed idols, it was believed to have fallen from heaven ( Acts 19:35 ), and models of it were not only sold in immense numbers to private persons, but set up for worship in other cities [HOWSON]. What power must have attended the preaching of that one man by whom the death blow was felt to be given to their gigantic and witching superstition!
28, 29. Great is Diana of the Ephesians--the civic cry of a populace so proud of their temple that they refused to inscribe on it the name of Alexander the Great, though he offered them the whole spoil of his Eastern campaign if they would do it [STRABO in HOWSON].
29. having caught Gaius and Aristarchus--disappointed of Paul, as at Thessalonica ( Acts 17:5 Acts 17:6 ). They are mentioned in Acts 20:4 , 27:2 , Romans 16:23 , 1 Corinthians 1:14 ; and probably 3 John 1:1 . If it was in the house of Aquila and Priscilla that he found an asylum (see 1 Corinthians 16:9 ), that would explain Romans 16:3 Romans 16:4 , where he says of them that "for his life they laid down their own necks" [HOWSON].
rushed . . . into the theatre--a vast pile, whose ruins are even now a wreck of immense grandeur [SIR C. FELLOWES, Asia Minor, 1839].
30-34. when Paul would have entered in--with noble forgetfulness of self.
unto the people--the demos, that is, the people met in public assembly.
the disciples suffered him not--The tense used implies only that they were using their efforts to restrain him; which might have been unavailing but for what follows.
31. And certain of the chief of Asia--literally, "And certain also of the Asiarchs." These were wealthy and distinguished citizens of the principal towns of the Asian province, chosen annually, and ten of whom were selected by the proconsul to preside over the games celebrated in the month of May (the same month which Romanism dedicates to the Virgin). It was an office of the highest honor and greatly coveted. Certain of these, it seems, were favorably inclined to the Gospel, at least were Paul's "friends," and knowing the passions of a mob, excited during the festivals, "sent (a message) to him desiring him not to adventure himself into the theater."
33. they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward--rather, "some of the multitude urged forward Alexander, the Jews thrusting him forward." As the blame of such a tumult would naturally be thrown upon the Jews, who were regarded by the Romans as the authors of all religious disturbances, they seem to have put forward this man to clear them of all responsibility for the riot. (BENGEL'S conjecture, that this was Alexander the coppersmith, 2 Timothy 4:14 , has little to support it).
beckoned with the hand--compare Acts 13:16 , 21:40 .
would have made his defence--"offered to speak in defense."
34. But when they knew he was a Jew, all with one voice, for the space of two hours, cried out, Great is Diana, &c.--The very appearance of a Jew had the opposite effect to that intended. To prevent him obtaining a hearing, they drowned his voice in one tumultuous shout in honor of their goddess, which rose to such frantic enthusiasm as took two hours to exhaust itself.
35-41. when the town-clerk--keeper of the public archives, and a magistrate of great authority.
had appeased--"calmed."
the people--"the multitude," which the very presence of such an officer would go far to do.
he said . . . what man . . . knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana--literally, the neocoros or "warden." The word means "temple-sweeper"; then, "temple-guardian." Thirteen cities of Asia had an interest in the temple, but Ephesus was honored with the charge of it. (Various cities have claimed this title with reference to the Virgin or certain saints) [WEBSTER and WILKINSON].
and of the image which fell down from Jupiter--"from the sky" or "from heaven." various legends concerning images and pictures in the Romish Church, such as the traditional likenesses of Christ, which were said to be "not made with hands"" [WEBSTER and WILKINSON].
36. Seeing that these things cannot be spoken against, &c.--Like a true legal man, he urges that such was notoriously the constitution and fixed character of the city, with which its very existence was all but bound up. Did they suppose that all this was going to be overturned by a set of itinerant orators? Ridiculous! What did they mean, then, by raising such a stir?
37. For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches--"temple-plunderers," or sacrilegious persons.
nor yet blasphemers of your goddess--This is a remarkable testimony, showing that the apostle had, in preaching against idolatry, studiously avoided (as at Athens) insulting the feelings of those whom he addressed--a lesson this to missionaries and ministers in general.
38. if Demetrius have a matter--of complaint.
against any man, the law is open--rather, "the court days are being held."
and there are deputies--literally "proconsuls" that is, probably, the proconsul and his council, as a court of appeal.
39. if ye inquire--"have any question."
concerning other matters--of a public nature.
40. For we--the public authorities.
are in danger of being called in question--by our superiors.

Courtesy SyngentaThe lower ear is a conventional hybrid and succumbed to earworm damage. The top ear is an Attribute hybrid that contains a Bacillus thuringiensis protein.Syngenta has added the Liberty Link herbicide-tolerance trait to its Attribute insect-protected sweet corn line so growers can now use Liberty 280 SL over the top to control weeds.
The sweet corn line already contains a protein from Bacillus thuringiensis that helps protect it from several lepidopterous pests, including European corn borer, corn earworm and fall armyworm, according to a news release.
Attribute II varieties have stacked, or multiple, traits inserted through genetic engineering. These varieties contain two different Bt proteins that protect against European corn border, corn earworm and fall armyworm as well as black cutworm and Western bean cutworm.
The varieties include BSS0982, GSS0966 and Protector.
Liberty 280 SL, a broad-spectrum herbicide, contains the active ingredient glufosinate. It belongs to the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee's Group 10.
