This week's installment is a bit different in focus as Dr. Brian Tabb has given us permission to adapt a section of his Themelios review of the Accordance 10 Ultimate Collection. In this post, Dr. Tabb details how a pastor might use Accordance in sermon preparation.
Let us consider how a pastor could use Accordance Bible Software to prepare a sermon on Genesis 1:26. First, the pastor could quickly set up a workspace to display several English Bibles—for example, NIV and ESV with Strong's—alongside the morphologically tagged Hebrew Bible (BHS–W4). Moving the cursor over the Hebrew text automatically highlights the corresponding word in the parallel texts, which clearly draws attention to key translation differences, such as mankind (NIV) and man (ESV), rendering אָדָם, and rule (NIV) and dominion (ESV) for וְיִרְדּוּ.
Key terms such as צֶלֶם and דְּמוּת may be studied by triple clicking on the word to open the preferred Hebrew lexicon (HALOT) in a new panel next to the text search or by right clicking on the word to reveal various search options (more on this below). The pastor could then consult various reference tools, such as "Cross References," which yields 48 (!) parallel passages, or "ESV Cross References," which lists twelve parallels, each of which may be instantly viewed by hovering one's cursor over the reference.
For further study on "image of God," the pastor could consult the substantial entries by Merrill in the Dictionary of the Old Testament: Pentateuch (IVP) and Bray in the New Dictionary of Biblical Theology (IVP), as well as Genesis commentaries by Matthews (NAC) and Kidner (Tyndale).
The pastor could utilize the user notes module (Command+U) to keep track of notes for particular verses and could copy and paste relevant quotations and verses into a word processor or presentation slideshow.

I love to study, learn, and grow. I feel fidgety when I don't have a book to read and grow anxious when I can't explore new avenues. This is one of the reasons I love Accordance so much!
Accordance allows me to narrow in on a singular passage and to explore whatever level of depth I can afford at the time. When I need to explore a similar idea in another part of the Bible, commentary, or even a map, I simply open a new tab and dive in. Even better, my rabbit trails are easy to mark. Saved workspaces narrow my study focus, user notes highlight study I've already done on individual verses, and user tools store my personal refections on the passages I end up studying.
Using Accordance means I never have to feel I need to include every detail in a sermon or lesson, because I can always get back to my thoughts. It allows me to go deep over the long-term, and is a tool which has helped me become a better student and preacher.

Way back in 2011, Wes Allen wrote an installment of our Pastor's Study series. Still just as relevant, see his post, "Gathering Thoughts in User Tools."
I have used Accordance since the founding of our church. I use it daily as an app on my phone to look up biblical verses I may be asked to comment on. I use it also to stay sharp, reading a sentence or two in the original language each day right from my smartphone. When I teach mid-week, I often use Accordance as a teaching tool, utilizing Apple TV and my phone to illustrate technical nuances of passages relevant passages on the big screen. Our church is used to having it and I cannot imagine ever doing without it.
For sermon preparation I use Accordance to look up the various verses I want to reference all at once and for a quick look at the languages. Having used each of the various Bible software programs, I can confidently say that Accordance is--without a doubt--the fastest and most effective program for use in working with the original languages.
The cause of Christ at Barabbas Road Church has been furthered because of Accordance and I would highly recommend it to any pastor.

I'm a guy who loves paper books, especially thick ones. I have shelves full of them in my study. But they don't do me much good when I'm at the coffee shop, on visitation, or in a hurry.
Books are especially difficult when I'm not even sure where to start my research for a sermon or doctoral paper. Accordance and Accordance Mobile are not only lifesavers, they make me a better pastor.
I use Accordance to prepare for sermons and conduct research for papers. It's also my source for devotional study and curious rabbit trails. I could do almost everything I do on Accordance with paper books (if I owned such a huge paper library), but it would take me much longer, it wouldn't be as fun, and it would be a serious drag hauling so many books around in my trunk.
Thanks for all you do Accordance! Keep up the great work.

I work full time at a campus ministry on the University of Kentucky campus, where one of my primary roles is teaching, specifically when it comes to the intellectual side of faith. In addition to that, I am also a full time seminary student at Asbury theological seminary. So I use Accordance in 3 primary ways:
Teaching and Preaching
I commonly get students coming to me and asking me questions about certain sections of scripture--Accordance is incredible in these situations. I can quickly access the best commentaries and dictionaries, as well as the original language. This is enormously helpful for the sometimes obscure questions students can ask about a given text.
My routine is this for any teaching or preaching scenario I find myself in for a text: Preaching preparation user tool--I created a user tool full of great quotes and resources to prepare my heart and soul for communication. This includes scripture, prayer, and quotes. I read the text in different translations. I make user notes along the way that include initial thoughts and notes. I put the text in context, clear up any confusions about certain words or themes found in the text. Then I consult commentaries. Using Evernote, I brainstorm a structure for a sermon and do my writing there. Finally, I copy and paste to a user tool.
I use Accordance whenever possible in seminary. Any of my school books available in accordance I purchase there. It's extremely helpful for my original languageand exegesis classes.
Personal Study
I read the Bible every morning on Accordance. I use a combo of the New International Version and New Testament for Everyone (NT Wright) for New Testament study. I use the New English Translation and New American Commentary for Old Testament study.
And I'm currently using GNT and BDAG to read through the Sermon on the Mount. Sometimes I'll also mix in other resources, such as Learning Theology with the Church Fathers.

I use Accordance every week for sermon preparation and devotional Bible reading. Rare is the day that I don't open the program on my Mac or the app on a mobile device. The customizability, speed, sophistication, and availability of resources for preachers are second to none. Want to compare multiple English translations and instantaneously generate a comparative list of differences? Accordance can do that. Want to delve into the original languages for in-depth research? Accordance is ready. Want to access virtual bookshelves full of popular, pastoral, semi-technical and technical commentaries? Accordance can help you do that, too. I came to Accordance as a reviewer in late 2012. Since then I've used it as an aid in blogging, worship leading, teaching, planning membership class, leading Bible studies, preaching, and even in confidentially keeping track of congregational prayer requests. Accordance won't pastor for you -- you still have to prayerfully discern how to be faithful in that. But it sure will give you some sharp and powerful tools to help.
-- Abram Kielsmeier-Jones
It's been a while since our last installment of The Pastor's Study, but I'm grateful for some other pastors who have chosen to contribute to this series. This new installment comes from Levi Durfey, Pastor-Teacher of the First Baptist Church of Baker, Montana.
How I Use Accordance in My Sermon Preparation
While I use Accordance's user notes feature for short notes and quotes, I use iWork Pages for the writing of my sermon notes. This is partly because I like writing in one tool instead of using two and transferring from one to another, and partly because Accordance notes do not support Mac Services (Which I depend on for a very good clipboard utility named PTH Pasteboard and Joe Weak's Accordance services for copying and pasting verses from Accordance into documents).
So one of the first things I do is create a new Pages document. (If needed, I create a separate document for each chapter of the Bible.) This document is 5.75 inches wide so that it fits nicely beside Accordance. I then paste in the sermon text in English and Greek (using the Accordance services that Joe Weaks made). I use the parsing function in Accordance and print out the parsing for the passage for easy reference.
I also copy the English and Greek texts to another document, which I call my "Observation Worksheet." There I double-space the text and print it. At the beginning of my study, and continuing throughout the study, I use this sheet to jot down little bits of information, draw connecting lines, mark key words, etc. I find that my mental juices flow more easily at times with good old-fashioned pen and paper.
Cross-Word-Dictionary and the C.I.A.
I work through the text systematically, verse by verse. First, I read the whole passage aloud or silently and jot any new insights onto my Observation Worksheet (I do this after each verse).
Then I precede through the verse systematically, using the phrase, "Cross-Word-Dictionary and the C.I.A." as my guide. As insights come to me, I write them down in my notes. Here's my Accordance and Pages layout:
1. CROSS-references: One of my favorite Accordance features is how you can hover your mouse over a list of cross-references. When you do, it turns to a magnifying glass. Then you can click and select some or all the references. When you release the click, all those references open in a separate window. From there you can easily read through all the references without hovering over each one and reading it in the Instant Details box.
In terms of my study, doing cross-references first helps me see the wider Biblical picture first, before I get into the details of the verse. For my sermons, I usually pick only a few: ones that the congregation knows or should know or ones that would make a good Biblical illustration.
2. WORD studies: This step actually includes several parts. I work through the Greek, using the parsing sheet that I printed earlier. I look for any grammatical insights and connections.
Then I may look up some of the words in a lexicon. For in-depth study, I have a separate "Greek Lexicons" workspace with all my main lexicons opened in separate tabs. All I have to do is select the word, click on the "Favorites" icon and select the "Greek Lexicons" and it opens my lexicons to the appropriate word.
I often do a word search on the word to see how it is used elsewhere (right click on the word and select "Search For"). I have a tab named "Greek Search" set on recycle so it is used for every Greek search I make. Accordance allows me to open a parallel English text alongside the search results in Greek, so it isn't a hassle to quickly scan my search results.
This is also the step where I compare translations (for which I have a separate tab in Accordance) to see what other translators did with the word definitions and grammar in the verse.
3. Bible DICTIONARY: Is there an obvious topic or a cultural question? I try to make my first stop a Bible dictionary rather than a commentary. I have the IVP Dictionaries in Accordance as well as the Zondervan Pictorial Encyclopedia of the Bible. I've put these into a group called "Dictionaries," so all I have to do is click the search icon on the Resource Toolbar to search all my dictionaries. It's nice that I don't have to wade through the whole article of each search hit in each dictionary, as the Search All window will just show the relevant parts of the articles where a hit was found.
Next I move on to the C.I.A.
4. Commentaries: I have separate tabs for the commentaries in Accordance. I don't want to see them too early in my study, so I don't keep them visible. I try not to just copy and paste. I read, and then try to put whatever interested me (or answered a question) into my own words.
5. Illustrate: It's miserable to get done with your sermon study and then have to find illustrations. If the week was too busy, you end up skipping them. So I try to illustrate as I go. I am not trying to find a neat story to entertain people, I want to illustrate the points and principles that I am finding in the text.
6. Apply: What are the implications for us? Again, I don't want to be left on Saturday trying to figure out applications, so I make it a point to try and find them as I go through the text.
After I work through a verse, I go back to my Observation Worksheet and read the text again to keep sight of the forest and start the process over with the next verse.
Concluding Steps
Another step, after I've worked through the passage completely and if I have the time, is to use FoxTrot Personal Search to search my past sermons and other articles and sermons that I've collected.
I will Search [All Tools] in Accordance. I love how I can search for a range, like Romans 9:19-24, and Accordance will pick up single references like 9:20 and 9:21, or even phrases like "verse twenty-two."
As a final step, I refine the notes and shape them into sermon form. I copy information that I don't need to the end of the document. I usually put Pages into full-screen mode for this, as I like being able to focus on just the sermon.
One inspirational quote that I keep before me is this (I've lost the reference):
D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones was a gifted expositor who saw preaching not as "preaching a sermon for each service, but simply [as] continuing where he was in the ongoing exposition of a book of the Bible."
That's what I want to do. Accordance, because of its speed, its tool set, and its ability to help me focus on the Bible, is an integral part of my own ongoing exposition of the Bible.
The Pastor's Study series of blog posts has been immensely popular—so much so that on the weeks I missed getting one posted, people on the Accordance forums would anxiously ask if the series was over. I've now run out of guest posts by individual pastors, but I want to keep the series going by asking a little less of a lot more of you. Are you a pastor who would like to contribute to the next Pastor's Study post but who doesn't have time to write a dissertation about your sermon-prep workflow? Then read on:
Most pastors don't have the money to spend on resources they'll never end up using, so I want the next Pastor's Study post to provide helpful advice on which Accordance resources you pastors have found most helpful. Specifically, I'm interested in the resources which have surprised you by becoming more helpful to you than you originally anticipated. So here's my question:
Have you ever bought an Accordance module you thought would be somewhat helpful, only to find that it has become one of your most valuable resources? Something you thought you would use occasionally which you now find yourself consulting all the time? If so, what are those modules and why do you think they have exceeded your initial expectations?
I asked this question on the forums over the weekend and have already gotten a couple of helpful responses, but I'm looking for more. You can add your own response in the comments on this post or in the forum thread I just linked to. All I ask is that you give me a brief description of why you originally purchased the module, how it has exceeded your expectations, and why you would recommend it to other pastors. Please also include your name and title as you would like it to appear in the blog post.
Thanks for your help.
This week's installment of The Pastor's Study comes from Robb Brunansky, the senior pastor of Desert Hills Evangelical Free Church in Phoenix, AZ, and a PhD candidate in New Testament at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY. Robb is also one of the trainers who teaches our Accordance training seminars.
The primary reason I decided to purchase Accordance in 2005 was for the original language tools. I had been trained in seminary to use the Greek and Hebrew text, and I wanted to maximize those skills, even grow them, in pastoral ministry. I'm happy to report that Accordance has been more than up to the challenge of keeping me regularly engaged with the Greek and Hebrew text and sharpening my original language skills. Many Accordance users are familiar with the basic Greek and Hebrew texts and search commands, so for this article, I want to discuss some other aspects of Greek and Hebrew research that pastors might not regularly consider, including the use of non-biblical original language texts and textual criticism.
Non-biblical Original Language Texts
Like most of you, some of the first Accordance texts I purchased were the GNT-T and the LXX1/LXX2 modules. It didn't take me long to realize, however, that I could greatly enhance my exegesis by looking beyond these two foundational texts. So what texts would most enhance my biblical studies and sermon preparation? As I considered this question, I began to look through BDAG to see what works were being referenced frequently.
One that immediately stood out to me was the Apostolic Fathers module. It is full of early interpretations of the biblical text (not to mention some very entertaining works, such as the Shepherd of Hermas!). For example, if I were preaching through the Sermon on the Mount and I came to Matthew 6:16-18, I might want to know more about the practice of fasting. Bible dictionaries, commentaries, and other resources certainly would help, but reading early interpretations in works like the Didache is also invaluable. For example, Jesus instructed His followers not to be like the hypocrites in their fasting. The Didache takes up this very thought in Did. 8:1, "But do not let your fasts coincide with those of the hypocrites. They fast on Monday and Thursday, so you must fast on Wednesday and Friday." A simple word search for "to fast" (νηστεύω) reveals that the Apostolic Fathers module mentions fasting 23 times.
In addition to the Apostolic Fathers module, I often find myself referring to Josephus' works and the Pseudepigrapha. While these kinds of modules might not immediately jump out at the busy pastor, they are the kinds of Greek texts that can not only enhance his understanding of the New Testament but sharpen his Greek skills as well. As a New Testament scholar, I primarily use extra-biblical Greek texts, but original language Semitic texts such as the Targums are a gold mine of information for Old Testament exegesis.
Textual Criticism
In the NAS95S text, Titus 2:11 reads, "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men," but in the NKJV, the same verse reads, "For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men." The difference between these two translations potentially has significant implications for understanding the Apostle Paul's theology of the atonement. What should we make of these translations? Do they illustrate a different theological bent in the translation committees, or is something else at play?
One of the quickest ways to find out is to view the base text of each translation side by side with Accordance's Compare Texts feature enabled and set to Single Text. The NAS95S is based on the NA27 Greek text (GNT-T), while the NKJV is based on the Textus Receptus (GNT-TR). Take a look at the workspace below:
With the compare texts feature enabled, we can immediately spot a textual difficulty in Titus 2:11. The TR includes an article before the word σωτήριος ("bringing salvation"), while the NA27 omits the article. This difference has grammatical significance. In the NASB/NA27, the adjective σωτήριος is understood as a predicate adjective describing what the grace of God has done in appearing. However, with the article before it, the NKJV/TR takes σωτήριος as an attributive adjective modifying what the grace of God is like. It is the "salvation-bringing" grace of God.
What is the pastor to do in this kind of situation? Undoubtedly, he has his text-critical work cut out for him. The good news is that the pastor knows why this difference exists, and that it's not simply a matter of translation committees having a different underlying theology.
The Compare Texts feature is often used in conjunction with English texts, but its hidden power is its ability to compare original language texts. Such comparisons enable the busy pastor to quickly spot differences in texts to see where major text-critical problems lie. With the variety of New Testament texts available in Accordance and the new Multiple Texts feature added to the Compare Texts command, pastors have unprecedented options for examining evidence for variant readings.
Next time you're studying the biblical text and you get in an exegetical bind, I hope you find these tips helpful. Check out some other original language texts to see if they shed light on grammatical, syntactical, or lexical problems, and don't forget to use the Compare Texts feature to see if peculiarities exist in the manuscript tradition.
This week's installment of The Pastor's Study comes from Steve Bauer, Pastor of Faith Lutheran Church in West Newton, Pennsylvania.
The people at Accordance have asked me to include a section on how I make use of Accordance in my sermon preparation. There is no doubt that some of this will overlap with what others have written. But I hope that as you travel through this with me you'll learn to use Accordance in ways you haven't thought of before, or in ways that might help save you some time in preparing for your sermons.
Whether you are not using a computer at all or using Accordance, there's always the tedious gruntwork that is involved when preparing for a sermon. So, before we get to the fun, we need to get the gruntwork done.
Accordance has a separate, little file for each verse. So, the first task is getting the original language words into our notes so that we can make our own notes and comments on each word. Here's the process I use:
Ok, we have the words in the user notes. But wouldn't it be nice to have some space in beween the lines so we could write some notes? The proper answer is 'yes---most definitely yes!'
What you should have now is a nifty looking window with vertical spaces between the lines. The great part about this is that after you have put the parsed words into each user note for each verse, all you have to do is open up the find window (in each user note window editor) and hit 'Replace All' to have these spaces added for each verse.
I walk through these steps for all my sermons. It doesn't take much time. And if I don't have much time to prepare (e.g. funeral sermons), I have the words formatted in the user notes so that I can move on to my exegesis.
Some time ago, Accordance added Favorite Workspaces. That's what that big, yellow star is for on your Resource palette. Those are where your Favorite Workspaces appear. Dr. Jenney has provided a good overview of workspaces in his podcast, but briefly, you can set up a workspace with all the tools you need for a given task and then save it for use at any time. I put my Grammars and Lexicons into these workspaces. I also put some of the user tools I have made (or have been given) into workspaces.
We will talk more about using workspaces a little later on. But if you haven't put together some workspaces with collections of your precious tools you use most, now would be a good time to watch that podcast and make some workspaces.
You're on your own
This is the part of the post where I need to be a little blunt. I can't teach you how to do exegesis. I went to school for five years to learn the biblical languages (greek and hebrew). I went to our seminary for four more years to learn how to use the biblical languages.
Accordance can't teach you the languages. And when you learn the languages, Accordance can't teach you how to use the languages. But, if you have gone to a good school, Accordance can be a valuable tool in your teaching and sermon preparation.
Once you have done a faithful text-study and have learned what the words mean, the next task is to figure out how to organize your thoughts and communicate them. There are many books written on this topic.1 But highlighting can help to show the flow of thought, the parallelism, repeated phrases, etc.
In order to get this done, I made two collections of highlights. The first highlighted relationships within one verse. The other set highlighted relationships between words spread out throughout several verses. Perhaps some examples would help.
I've found this pattern useful not just for NT stuff, but also for OT texts as well. Especially in Hebrew poetry, which relies on parallelism so much, highlighting can be a useful (and fun?) way of charting the flow of the words.
In the provided screenshot you'll notice the parallelism highlighted within the verses. But, I also make use of highlighting to chart the connections between the verses.2
The whole point of this is to find how the words flow and speak so that the pattern you find in the words can give shape to your flow of thought in your sermon.
One of the troubles and temptations of preachers is to go beyond what either linguistically or contextually the text is actually saying. Here is where the workspaces come in handy. (If I have time) after I have finished my exegesis, I start at the beginning and use my custom workspaces to see if I might have gone too far in my translation. I highlight the verse3 and then click the 'star' icon to open up my workspace with my grammars, lexicons and tools. The workspace then spills out every time the verse you have highlighted is cited in your tools. This can be very helpful...
With rants
I may be alone in this, but I like it when grammarians rant. Sometimes the points they make I miss, simply because they hide them with five-syllable words. But when they start ranting, then I know I'm getting to the good stuff. Take for example what I came across in preparation for my last sermon. In Luke 11:4, Wallace offers this vivid commentary:
Fourth, as the colloquial aphorism goes, "The proof of the pudding is in the eating." The results of the traditional approach are almost comical. Exegetical and expository literature in the past several decades is filled with statements that are less than credible. Applying the traditional canon to Eph 5:18 results in: "Stop being drunk with wine, but continue to be filled with the Spirit" (μὴ μεθύσκεσθε, πληροῦσθε). On this view, one could ask, "Why stop getting drunk if it does not prevent one from getting Spirit-filled?" Further, if Ephesians is a circular letter, why are specific judgments made in it? Note, for example: "Stop provoking your children to wrath" (μὴ παροργίζετε in 6:4); "Stop grieving the Holy Spirit" (μὴ λυπεῖτε in 4:30); "Stop being foolish" (μὴ γίνεσθε in 5:17).14 Or consider John 5:8: "Take up [aorist: ἆρον] your mattress and continue walking [present: περιπάτει]." But how could the lame man continue walking if he had not done so for thirty-eight years?15
In sum, the basic force of the aorist in commands/prohibitions is that it views the action as a whole, while the basic force of the present in commands/prohibitions is that it views the action as ongoing process. This basic meaning may, of course, be shaped in a given context to fit, say, an ingressive idea for the aorist. Thus if the conditions are right, the aorist prohibition may well have the force of "Do not start." This is an affected meaning or specific usage. But to call this the essential idea is not correct.4
But wait, the ranting continues in the footnote:
15 Other texts are equally absurd, if the traditional canon is followed. The following examples include translations that are patently ridiculous. For the present tense, note, e.g., Matt 4:10 ("Continue to go away, Satan"); 5:44 ("Continue to love your enemies" [when the audience had not yet begun]); Matt 7:23 ("Continue to depart from me"); Mark 5:41 ("Continue to rise"); 7:10 ("Let the one who speaks evil of his father or mother continue to die"); Luke 8:39 ("Continue to return to your home"); John 10:37 ("If I do not do the works of the Father, stop believing in me"); 19:21 ("Stop writing" the title on the sign above Jesus' name—v 19 states that this was already a completed act). For the aorist, note, e.g., Mark 9:43 ("If your hand offends you, begin to cut it off"); Luke 11:4 ("Begin to forgive us our sins")5
There will always be this temptation to make the immediate words we are translating say more than what they are saying. There are times that the grammars can keep us in check.
On the one hand, there is a temptation to say too much. But on the other hand, there is a temptation to say too little. Here again, Accordance can help.
In my sermon for Easter 5 - Cantate, my text was Hebrews 12:25-29;13:4-6. Robertson provides this comment on Hebrews 13:5:
Even οὐ μή was not strong enough sometimes, so that we have οὐδέ and οὐ μή in Heb. 13:56
There is no more extensive and emphatic way of saying 'no' in the NT than the strong future negation. Robertson's note is worthy of considering in your heart and preaching from your lips. If οὐ μή wasn't enough for the writer to the Hebrews, should it be enough for us?
What I mean is this: If the writer to the Hebrews tells us that God will never, ever, ever leave us nor will he ever, ever, ever abandon us, isn't that a point we should emphasize in our preaching?
With "ancient and widespread" Variants
Ever since Accordance added the Nestle-Aland textual apparatus (and then later the CNTTS) the variant readings have been more accessible than they ever have been before. But, what do we do with them? Here is where the old phrase Ancient and Widespread comes into play. Yes, it sounds like a poorly crafted punchline to a joke about your grandma or mother-in-law. But it's not. It's how we attempt to find the original text (the autograph).7 So, if we look at Hebrews 13:5, we find this variant:
As with all the variants in the NT, they don't change the doctrine in the bible. However, they might change the emphasis in your preaching. In support of the base reading in the Nestle Aland text (ἐγκαταλίπω) we find Bezæ (D) and a whole bunch of later minuscules:
|Asia Minor
However, we find that earlier and more widespread witnesses have the second option (ἐγκαταλείπω):
|Asia Minor
If the variant (ἐγκαταλείπω) is the better option, the next question is "why should I care?" What difference in translation and preaching would the aorist subjunctive vs. the present subjunctive make? Although I can't prove this with sufficient detail, my conclusion is that the writer has chosen the present subjunctive deliberately to show that God's promise of never abandoning doesn't just apply to the distant, abstract future. It applies now. If this is true, then it provides a good emphasis in preaching which I might have overlooked if I didn't look at the variants.
This is my Sermon Preparation Workflow. I get the verses in the user notes and do the exegesis. If time permits, I use the workspaces to quickly and efficiently grind through the grammars, lexicons and other tools to see where these verses are cited. If there is still a little more time, I have a look at the variants to see what the most ancient and widespread witnesses wrote.
All of this serves two purposes:
I hope this little walkthrough hasn't taken up too much of your time and has given you some ideas of how you might use Accordance in better ways than I do.

7 Some might point out that this phrase and approach to solving variants is not what they were taught. My point here is only to concisely provide a format for dealing with variants. This method is what I was taught. And over the years I have become convinced that this is the only way of dealing with the variants in an objective manner.

I agree! Even though I only read about 10 words on this post.
Right as rain.
The idea that there could be a Mel Kiper-equivalent for the dozens of rounds of baseball draft selections is almost too frightening to contemplate.
The reason that the MLB draft is so long is because baseball has to stock its own minor league system, while football and basketball have hundreds of alleged "universities" do it for them.
Whatevs. Aumont was a good pick with a fun name.
Haha, I read about ten words too. Thanks for bolding the important parts... Here's something I've never really understood: why are the kids on the draft deemed more stable and more likely not to have a nervous breakdown than normal 18 year olds? How can they possibly be worth so much money and so much buzz when they could completely flip out at any moment? Maybe talented athletes are just super-human.
LOL. Yep, that's why I bolded the key points. Hit the bullet points, and anyone who wants to read the rest can.
And yeah, I get pretty long winded.
I have to agree with you the Draft was long and the pool is way to large. The draft makes people feel connected with who their team picks. Do you think it was good for the MLB to put the draft on t.v.?
Aumont may be a great pick indeed. But as I mentioned in the comments to Fnarf's Morning News, and as better analysts than I have demonstrated repeatedly, TNSTAAPP.
And listening to Aumont speak on the radio this morning and hearing what I'd call his stereotypical Frenchy-ass accent, I can still nonetheless credit his country of origin with having two official languages.
i have no idea about baseball, but i know that dante's inferno had 9 circles of hell...
Sez Cook:
i have no idea about baseball, but i know that dante's inferno had 9 circles of hell...OK, but if God and Satan haven't reached a decision on the fate of your immortal soul, do they go into extra innings?
7. I think the big killer, of all the problems I listed, was the mandatory 5 minutes between picks. The interviews also backfired: most of these kids aren't very well versed in public speaking and there wasn't much the interviewers could do to coax answers out of kids who honestly had no idea who was going to pick them.
And that's another factor: unlike the other drafts, it's almost impossible to project what team these kids will go to. And then given the minor leagues' many levels, there's no way the kid, on the spot, will have any idea how he fits into the team's plans. An on-the-spot interview doesn't work for that reason.
But as it stands... it's not a draft that lends itself to TV well. The top picks lack the notoriety of the top picks in other sports.
11: no, they go to penalty kicks.
Plus, we're only talking about amateurs from the US and Canada. All of the Latin American kids (think Felix, Edgar, our entire current infield minus Sexson) and Asian stars (Kaz, Ichiro, our catcher, and who is that guy in Boston) aren't even considered in this draft.

well, sean, no offense but you kinda butchered it. thats' not to say it sounded BAD, but you destroyed the ambiance of the song. the drums were a little over powering, something i realized happens in my remix of Sonata 5, and the speed of the synths was such so that a faster drum line would have sounded excellent. Well, I'll give it to you this time, but you owe me now. Perhaps I'll settle for one of your eyes?

The attempt to obtain recognition for anything approaching a clinical innovation in the realm of nervous or mental diseases is an herculean task. Among the rank and file of the profession such a movement naturally meets with the stolid indifference which is the lot of practically all phases of mental science; while among alienists and neurologists it encounters a curiously combative attitude, which is strikingly exemplified in the struggle experienced by psychasthenia in gaining recognition as a nosologic entity.
There is, however, a growing desire, born of necessity, on the part of neurologists, to limit the semeiologic scope of the old term neurasthenia. It is admittedly too vague, too clumsy—a mere diagnostic peg on which to hang symptomatic chains composed of heterogenous links —and yet substitute terms, psychoneurosis, for example, are equally unhappy, because of their absurd overcomprehensiveness and fatal lack of nosologic focus.
It would seem from the foregoing

Edward II
Reckon our leaders are terrible? It seems they had nothing on Edward II. The 14th century English king screwed up his reign so monumentally that his wife raised an army against him and he was toppled by his own son. Opinions change, of course, and now his greatest flaw has become his most endearing quality; despite intense pressure, he refused to give up the man he loved, Piers Gaveston. Malthouse Theatre artistic director Matt Lutton had been fishing around for a queer play for a while, spurred by the fact that "you don't really see any plays about gay public figures. Most gay characters are either private individuals or Disney villains." Despite the implied outing of Jafar in this comment, Lutton has a point, citing Angels in America's Roy Cohn as the only theatrical depiction of a famous gay man he can think of. And in that play, he virtually is a Disney villain. Christopher Marlowe's 1592 version of Edward II has been radically reworked and updated by Lutton and playwright Anthony Weigh, stripping back the cast to five and focussing on "the lure and the destructive nature of individualism". The result sounds more like a domestic family drama than the historical epic we might have expected. Johnny Carr, who plays the ineffectual monarch, agrees. "The original Marlowe is quite convoluted, quite sprawling, whereas Anthony's take is really lean, really precise." The overt queer politics have been played down, too. Obvious parallels to gay marriage will no doubt simmer under

Arts A Tax Break Earned
Jan. 24, 2006 - It's almost enough to make you laughbitterly, of course. Here was Ford Motor Co. announcing yesterday that it had cut 10,000 jobs last year and that it will cut up to 30,000 more. But shedding jobs at muscle-car acceleration rates didn't stop Ford from pocketing hundreds of millions of dollars courtesy of the American Jobs Creation Act.
No, I'm not making this up. Right there, on page 2 of one of its news releases yesterday, Ford said that "repatriation of foreign earnings pursuant to the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 resulted in a permanent tax savings of about $250 million."
Hello? How can you simultaneously cut jobs and benefit from the American Jobs Creation Act? Welcome to the wonderful world of Washington nomenclature.

Released: Jun 01st, 2004
Running Time: 90
Company: Cherry Boxxx Pictures
Cast: Krystale, Idol, Devlin Weed, Juicy, Shy Nasty, Wesley Pipes, Byron Long, Wet Peaches
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gonzo
Not much crossover appeal, but worth shelf space in your ethnic section.
Keeping in mind that nobody's running a Miss Black America pageant here, this assortment of motel room quickies delivers an adequate if somewhat undistinguished punch - especially if your customers have a hankerin' for thick ass ham. Shy and Idol find themselves at the mercy of Wesley Pipes' immense meat stick, but it's his never-ending string of salty language that rescues the scenes from the black hole of obscurity.
Speaking of brackish business, the never-so-aptly named Juicy virtually exudes sweat and pussy lather. Awash in her funky charms, Weed slips into high gear and grinds her a good one, blasting his load on her glistening belly. Viewers who enjoy the hirsute look should expect to fire off a few rounds when they get a gander at the steamy morass growing in her pits and crotch.

WASHINGTON -- He was often known as a member of the Kennedy
family, through his late wife, Eunice. But Sargent Shriver had his
own share of historic achievements.
Shriver died Tuesday at a hospital in suburban Washington. He was 95.
He was instrumental in expanding the Special Olympics with his wife, was the first director of the Peace Corps and led President
Lyndon Johnson's "War on Poverty." From that effort came such
programs as Head Start and Legal Services.
He was also Democrat George McGovern's vice presidential running mate in 1972.
Shriver advised his brother-in-law, John F. Kennedy, during the
1960 presidential campaign -- and helped persuade Kennedy to make a
crucial decision, despite the fears of other staffers that there
would be a white backlash. Martin Luther King was jailed in Georgia
that fall, and Kennedy phoned King's wife to offer support.
Shriver was someone the Kennedy family would sometimes turn to
for the hardest tasks. Jacqueline Kennedy relied on him to arrange
the funeral for her murdered husband.
Eunice Kennedy Shriver was the founder of the Special Olympics. She
died in 2009 at the age of 88.
They were the parents of Maria Shriver, the wife of Arnold

What the The Mysterious World of NFL Merchandising (and UPS Advertising)
Granted, the world of pro-football fandom is as foreign to me as the world of cunnilingus. Still, I'd repeatedly perform the love munch on the entire cast of The View before I'd attach myself to a piece of football-fan paraphernalia called the Dirty Brown Towel.
Details on the dread-inspiring tchotchke come from the hilarious sports site Deadspin, which reports that the Cleveland Browns' Dirty Brown Towel is a "riff" on the Pittsburgh Steelers' Terrible Towel.
Whatever. "Brown" is both the world's worst adjective AND world's worst verb, and I have no desire to know what brown can do for me.
P.S. While looking for a UPS-related link for that "what brown can do…" phrase, I found the UPS Pressroom, featuring the text of a speech given by UPS chairman and CEO Mike Eskew, in which he proudly refers to his company's "Big Brown Promise," which sounds like the name of porno film I never, ever want to see.

From The Mickey Mouse Club to Lizzie McGuire to Hannah Montana, generations of children have been enjoying the TV shows produced by The Disney Channel. While such programs have brought joy and enthusiasm to many children, the young actors of these shows do not always benefit from their early acting experiences. While Disney has had a hand in jump starting many careers, there is a large number of Disney stars who went absolutely wild when they grew up. DUIs, arrests, drug addictions, and eating disorders have plagued some of America's favorite sweethearts.
Some of the most infamous Disney stars gone wild are Britney Spears (The Mickey Mouse Club), Lindsay Lohan (The Parent Trap) and, most recently, Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana).
Spears was one of the first modern stars to begin their career on The Disney Channel, starring on The Mickey Mouse Club in the early 1990s at the age of eleven. By 2001, her first single "Baby One More Time" was at the top of the charts. Spears became a princess of pop, releasing one hit song after another and reaping the benefits of stardom.
However, her winning streak could only last so long. By 2007 Spears had divorced her husband, lost custody of her children, been in and out of multiple drug rehabilitation facilities, and shaved her head using electric clippers in a hair salon in LA. So where did it all go wrong? When did this sweet and innocent child star turn into a girl gone wild? This is a question that arises when we look at many of Spears's fellow Disney stars.
After her spiral out of control Spears was able to get back into the studio, creating more hits and regaining the dignity of her career. Trying, and not succeeding, to salvage her name in a similar way as former Disney star Lindsay Lohan.
Lohan jumpstarted her career at the age of twelve with Disney's movie The Parent Trap. After seeing enormous success with the film, Lohan later starred in other Disney movies such as Life-Size, Get a Clue, and Freaky Friday. She eventually branched out from Disney, starring in her most successful film, Mean Girls in 2004.
By 2006, Lohan was attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and had checked herself into her first rehabilitation center. She was arrested for the first time in 2007 after being found driving under the influence and possession of cocaine, and has been dragged into court over twenty times since then. Her criminal record includes DUIs, possession of drugs, stealing a $2,500 necklace from a jeweler, skipping bail, and allegedly assaulting a woman outside of a club. With a number of rehab stays under her belt, Lohan now claims to be on the straight and narrow, trying to fix her life.
Currently on a similar downward spiral is twenty year old Miley Cyrus. Cyrus got her big break on the Disney show Hannah Montana at the age of twelve. The TV show was an enormous success, running from 2006-2010 and earning Cyrus both fame and fortune. Cyrus' early career looked promising with successful albums such as Breakout and Can't Be Tamed and the lead role in the movie The Last Song.
Cyrus originally had a squeaky clean reputation, known for her good-girl attitude and Christian faith. Her first bit of controversy was in 2010, when a video leaked of her smoking a bong of salvia. Last year, Cyrus caused an uproar amongst her fans by chopping off her long brown hair in favor of a spiky blonde pixy cut. Cyrus has been creating a new, scandalous image for herself with music from her upcoming album, Bangerz.
The first single, "We Can't Stop" contains lyrics such as "We like to party/ dancing with Molly" in reference to the drug. The lyric "Everyone in line in the bathroom/ trying to get a line in the bathroom" is assumed to be referring to taking lines of cocaine. The music video for the song has received severe scrutiny, though it was nowhere near as controversial as her performance on MTV's 2013 Video Music Awards this August. Cyrus' half naked "twerking" on the VMA stage has been the talk of the nation ever since. Most recently, the video for Bangerz second single, "Wrecking Ball" was released in September and displays a naked Cyrus sitting on top of a demolition ball. Though Cyrus has so far avoided any trouble with the law, many believe that this insane behavior is only the beginning.
Though these are some of the most infamous examples of Disney gone bad, there are countless young stars who have encountered difficulties in their adult lives. Christina Aguilera (The Mickey Mouse Club) has been under scrutiny for drinking problems and severe weight loss – weight gain. Demi Lovato (Camp Rock) checked herself into rehab in 2010 for a severe eating disorder and self-harm issues. High School Musical stars Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens have both found trouble in recent years; Efron has a cocaine addiction and has been to rehab twice in the past year, and Hudgens's image suffered when nude photos of her were leaked onto the internet. Shia LaBeouf (Even Stevens) and Mitchel Musso (Hannah Montana) have both been arrested for DUI; Hilary Duff (Lizzie McGuire) and Raven Symone (That's So Raven) both underwent dangerous weight loss after their figures were criticized by the media.
With all of these stars gone wrong, the real question that must be asked is "why?" Why have so many beloved child stars become involved with drugs, alcohol, and eating disorders? Child star, Mara Wilson (star of the 1996 film Matilda) has written a lot on the topic. She believes that the parents of many child actors cannot or will not help them. The parents themselves find it too hard to adjust to the Hollywood life, or do not see the warning signs until it is too late. Parents of child stars are often unable to find the right way to support and keep their children grounded.
Wilson also stated that child stars quickly become spoiled once they become accustomed to getting whatever they want, whenever they want it. Wilson wrote, "It's called the hedonic treadmill… means that even people who have the best of everything quickly become used to it. The thrill of new things and new experiences always wears off."
She also writes that children become accustomed to the attention they receive when they are young and adorable, and then are unable to handle the loss of fame when they go through the awkward phase of puberty. Child actors who do not go through said awkward phase become teen idols, and often sex symbols. This leaves them feeling vulnerable and exploited. Some stars even admit to having been sexually assaulted while acting as children.
Wilson wrote that it is natural for teenagers to rebel at some point, though child stars are unable to do this because they are constantly in the public eye. There is an insane level of stress put on them to be perfect, so when they eventually do break out of their shell they do it in a big way.
Finally, child stars cannot escape what is happening. They often have little education and no experience with other jobs. They do not know what else to do with their lives other than stay in show business, even if this is the worst thing for them. Wilson summarizes the struggle by saying that "It's a constant damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't situation: if former child actors bring up their past, they're washed-up opportunists shilling for attention. If they never do, they're clearly in denial. If they say it was fantastic, they're full of shit. If they acknowledge that it wasn't always fantastic, they're bitter." It seems that child stars simply cannot win. After getting locked into show business, it becomes almost impossible to get out unscathed.
One example of child stars who did leave show business after Disney Channel was Dylan and Cole Sprouse (Suite Life of Zack and Cody). When Disney denied the Sprouse twins their request to convert from acting to writing, they decided to attend college and live their lives as normal teenagers.
In fact, most Disney child stars who stayed out of trouble have also stayed out of the limelight. There is a very small list of Disney stars who retained their fame without going insane. This list includes Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Angels in the Outfield) and the Jonas Brothers, who are still making music and have no scandal attached to their name.
Another Disney star who has maintained a positive reputation and continues improving her career is Selena Gomez. Gomez, age 21, starred on Disney's Wizards of Waverly Place from 2007-2012. Gomez's first album Kiss and Tell was recorded with her band "Selena Gomez and the Scene." Gomez's first solo album, Stars Dance, was released this July with positive feedback from the critics. Her song "Come and Get It" topped the charts, and she is currently in the middle of a nationwide tour. She has also acted in non-Disney movies such as Spring Breakers and Getaway. So far, there have been no arrests, drug use, or alcoholism claims made against Gomez. Hopefully she will defy the odds and avoid the descent into madness many before her have traveled.
One of the most successful Disney stars of all time is Justin Timberlake. Like Spears, Timberlake was on The Mickey Mouse Club as a child. Unlike Spears, Timberlake was able to avoid a tragic downfall. He gained fame from the boy band 'N Sync, and later became well known as a solo artist with singles such as "Sexy Back" and "What Goes Around… Comes Around."
Timberlake has also dominated the silver screen in movies such as The Social Network and Friends with Benefits. His third and most recent solo album, The 20/20 Experience was released in January of 2013 and was an immediate success. He is currently on tour with Jay-Z, and recently received the Video Vanguard Award from MTV. The award acknowledged the influence Timberlake has had on the music industry. With his extreme success, it is safe to assume that most current Disney stars wish to have a career like Timberlake's.
Looking at the tragic history of Disney stars, it seems surprising that there are still parents who allow their children to work for The Disney Channel. Unfortunately, this trend is not limited to Disney. Child stars from Nickelodeon and other television and movie networks have also fallen from grace. It seems that this is simply the nature of the beast. The culture of Hollywood and pressure of fame is simply not an adequate way for a child to grow up.

Judith Miller
I still don't know what to make of all the speculation about jailed New York Times reporter Judith Miller. Are her motives for not testifying for the CIA leak investigation less altruistic then she claims? Might she really be protecting herself, rather than a source, by choosing jail over talking to the special prosecutor?
Huffington lays out the dark theory of Miller here, saying:
Not everyone in the Times building is on the same page when it comes to Judy Miller. The official story the paper is sticking to is that Miller is a heroic martyr, sacrificing her freedom in the name of journalistic integrity.
But a very different scenario is being floated in the halls.
And close readers of this New York Times story from today will notice that reporters for the paper are now asking their superiors for comment about what Miller knew and how she knew it.
In e-mail messages this week, Bill Keller, the executive editor of The New York Times, and George Freeman, an assistant general counsel of the newspaper, declined to address written questions about whether Ms. Miller was assigned to report about Mr. Wilson's trip, whether she tried to write a story about it, or whether she ever told editors or colleagues at the newspaper that she had obtained information about the role played by Ms. Wilson.

To help hype yet another version of the hugely popular zombie game, Capcom opened a temporary human butcher shop in the Smithfield meat market East London. Yes it is real meat, though apparently it is not human meat. I don't know what kind of meat it is.
The limbs, torsos, and offal (including penis tips) were crafted by food artist Sharon Baker.
Sales proceeds will go to the Limbless Association.
Below is the video ad for the game.

The vast majority of the weakly radioactive substances used in these tests are cleared from your body within a day or two. But even before then, you can interact normally with other people because there's no risk of exposing them to significant amounts of radiation from your body.
It takes an hour or more for the pictures to be developed and additional time for a radiologist to examine them. Your doctor will probably receive a report within a day or two.
The scan will show the outline, shape, and position of your thyroid so that the doctor can determine whether it is enlarged and whether there are any suspicious growths or nodules. The scan also provides a rough measure of thyroid activity, although this has to be confirmed with a radioactive iodine uptake test.

I forgot to ask what the measurement was but I was told that the results were normal and the baby has a 1 in 710 chance of DS.Ā Not bad!
My LO's heartbeat was 164 and it was jumping around so much the tech had to take a few extra minutes to get the measurements she needed!
I left with a smile on my face and pictures in hand (including the obligatory "alien face" shot).
My husband was grinning like a fool the whole time our baby was up on the screen.
I'm already in love!!Ā

In order to save myself a few clicks, I was planning to edit the privacy settings using Network Admin -> All Sites -> Edit for each site that I wanted to make private.
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that this plugin adds some radio buttons to that screen for me to use to change the privacy setting, rather than having to manually change the setting.
However, after I chose a different radio button and saved the settings, I found that the new setting didn't get saved. In order to update the setting, I ended up having to manually change it anyways (I set the "Blog Public" option to -3 on the settings page) or I had to visit Site Admin -> Settings -> Privacy.
I'm not sure if the radio buttons appearing on Network Admin -> All Sites -> Edit is a bug, or if the fact that the settings aren't saving/updating properly when using those radio buttons is a bug; but I just wanted to report my findings.
Thanks, as always, for your awesome plugins.
