Anyway, I got myself cleaned up and we headed off to the bus station to meet Greg, who had flown into Boston a few hours previously. As I mentioned on my last post, this visit was a very big deal - even more so because Greg is the first member of David's family I've met aside from his parents. So documenting his arrival was essential.
Another adorable baby, and with grey eyes like her sister Juliette. She was, however, not nearly as far along she should have been, acting at 5 hours like a 1-2 hours old cria. A bit of Karo syrup seemed to help, though, and she quickly got up to speed over the rest of the afternoon and so far doesn't seem to be looking back. No name yet, as I haven't had a real chance to think about it, but I'll be working on coming up with something fitting soon.
Since their business has been primarily catering and selling at the farmer's market, they don't do a lot of takeout business, but they're preparing to expand and do regular restaurant business, which I'm really looking forward to. The food is very good, and Raj is a nice guy (and very cute). Anyway, they did have enough for us to make a decent meal from, but they were out of naan (recipe below), so I made that when we got home and we had a nice dinner and visit before turning in to rest up for our weekend adventures.
Afterwards, we headed even farther north to Bethel, where I had reserved us rooms for the night so that we could spend Saturday seeing the leaves and doing a bit of hiking. We all went to bed relatively early so that we could be nice and fresh for the day ahead, because in addition to the hiking, David had recruited Greg to be a RedMaple fashion model and we had a bit of a photo shoot planned.
We decided to do our last photo shoot of the day there, but by then Greg was getting a little punchy (the altitude, perhaps? or maybe just the excitement of a well-crafted alpaca sweater) and the photos got, well, interesting. It's not entirely clear, but there's a little nipple play going on in this photo.
And on that note, we made our way back down the mountain and back down the road to Bethel, where we had an excellent meal and some equally excellent beer at Sunday River Brewing Company (thanks to Kit for the suggestion), then made the nearly 3 hour trip back home.
Yesterday was much more relaxed and close to home, with an outing to take a few more pics and let Greg get the obligatory lobster dinner, followed by blueberry-apple pie and silly movies. After a little more driving around the area today, we put him on the bus back to the airport, and he is hopefully having a very uneventful trip home.
I love, love, love naan, which is really the quintessential Indian flatbread. Of course, there are others - chapatis, pappadam, etc. - but when most people (here in the US, anyway) think of Indian breads, naan is the one that comes to mind most often. I mostly follow the recipe from Madhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian cookbook, with very slight variation, and have been very pleased with the results.
4-5 cups unbleached all-purpose white flour, plus some for dusting
1¼ cup plain yogurt (note: If you are cooking for vegetarians, please check the label. Some yogurts use gelatin and so are not vegetarian. Even kosher gelatin is usually non-veg, despite misconceptions to the contrary.)
butter ghee, and plenty of it
First sift together 4 or so cups of flour with the baking powder, baking soda and salt. Then mix the sugar and yogurt in a large bowl. This can be done with a mixer, but I prefer to use a wooden mixing spoon. Slowly begin beating in about two cups of the flour mix a little bit at a time. It is essential for proper texture to beat this very well, as it encourages the gluten molecules to crosslink. I generally add in roughly ½ cup at a time, stir until mixed, and then beat the batter 100 strokes with the spoon for each addition.
Making sure your hands are still well-greased, divide the dough ball into 8 or 9 smaller balls and place them on a well-floured tray. Flatten them slightly with your hand and cover with plastic wrap or parchment paper. Allow the dough to rest for at least 30 minutes - or refrigerate for up to 48 hours - as this will give the gluten molecules more time to crosslink.
Turn on or light your broiler. If this is in the main oven compartment, then the rack should be set all the way at the top. The original recipe calls for the initial cooking to be done on stovetop with a large cast-iron skillet, but I do it all under the broiler on a cookie sheet.
Take each of the dough balls and dip into flour. Then grease your hands well with ghee and begin to pat out and flatten the dough ball into an oblong shape. You want the dough to be quite flattened. If the gluten has been activated well, it shouldn't tear too readily. Daub both sides with a bit more ghee and slap the nan down onto the heated pan. Cook under the broiler for a minute or so, making sure after about 30 seconds that it is not sticking. Once it has started developing a few reddish-brown spots, flip it over and cook on the other side for another minute or so. Remove the finished naan from the broiler and daub on some more ghee and enjoy.
Wow! You had a pretty busy weekend. But, it sounds like a great deal of fun and that little baby alpaca is just adorable!
I don't think I've ever had naan before...but it sounds yummy.
Yowza! You must be drop dead exhausted by now! The baby IS adorable, and the scenery from your hike is absolutely beautiful!
And I gotta say that Greg really is a great sport for modeling, and the nipple play pic made me snort! Thanks for the laugh.
Mmm, Naan. Thanks for the recipe! I'll have to give it a try.
PS--I think cousin Greg is a hottie...
What a busy and fun weekend you had. Thanks for the naan recipe, too. I'm not sure I'll actually try it but it's nice to know I can if I want.
greg is drop dead gorgeous!
I prefer roti over naan, IMHO.
have never seen a baby alpaca in person before; she is sweet!
perhaps things will settle down at your house now.
Oh my, that baby is so sweet!
Sounds like you had a good weekend; you deserved it!
Wonderful to live vicariously through your birthing and travels. If Greg had anywhere near the lovely time I did reading about your time together, he will bring nice news back to David's family.
Don't you wear your kilt whilst hiking?
Or better yet...I still haven't seen any "gratuitous leg" photos.
Wowsa, now there's a studmuffin! I think you need to wear the kilt out hiking...
I've been wondering what PUNCHY means for a couple years now. I'm so glad I finally have an answer.
Mel and David, Thank you SO much for the fabulous weekend! You were both such gracious hosts and every minute was so worth the trip. The views were "extraordinary"!
Mel, I appreciate you posting some of the lighter side of my debut photo shoot, hopefully those family photos will help sell more rather than hinder sales!
I have shared all the great stories with friends and family and look forward to trying to make it out there again as soon as I am able.
I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to get to know the two of you much better.
P.S. - to all those who left such touching comments about me...flattery will get you everywhere!

Is there a way in which I can register individual additional controls as and when I use them, without having to buy developer edition?Otherwise, why does Microsoft include them in my Premium Edition?
And both are good questions. I wish I knew the answer to them as I have been there. Have you tried shopping the net for controls?
Are you sure Microsoft included the grid control in Office Premium ?
That licence does not include the right (or ability) to develop with the control, does it ?
The weirdness of it all was further explored inDo you have VB6 Professional?
The question still is, though - if I can develop with them, am I licensed to re-distribute them, even if I don't know how I got them?

How to run a virtual business?
The coronavirus pandemic has had several impacts on businesses in Queensland and throughout the country.
Companies have had to implement cloud solutions and business continuity plans that allow them to continue operating in the wake of stay-at-home orders. They’ve also had to “tighten their belts” in many cases, to make up for the change in customer buying behavior due to the crisis.
The move from a physical to a completely virtual office is one that’s been on several business owners’ minds during the pandemic. Not only as a way to drastically reduce overhead, but to prepare for the future and what uncertain events it may hold.
For example, you want to avoid just adding cloud applications from different vendors to make up your workflow. Doing so can mean you have data that won’t easily travel from one app to another and will have a bigger learning curve for employees.
Using one platform makes it easier for you to keep your cloud data backed up, gives you one central area for security and administration, and makes life easier for your employees.
A VoIP phone system can sound just like a landline system to a caller and give your team the capability to answer your official business line or extensions from their computer, mobile device, or a VoIP enabled desk phone.

Aubameyang has emerged as the sharpest shooter in the league since his January arrival and is setting the pace in the race to be 2018-19's top scorer.
The Gabon striker's double against Tottenham made him the first player to reach the 10-goal mark in the top flight this season. And since joining Arsenal from Borussia Dortmund for £56million, nobody has scored more than his 20 Premier League goals.
Most impressively, 29-year-old Aubameyang has the best minutes-to-goal of all the league's marksmen, having scored once every 104 minutes — and with each of his last 10 shots on target.

Discuss the argument that much of the identity-based violence that troubles the world today is a result of the failure of national governments to... - eNotes.com
The Westphalian system was based on the idea that the main actors in world affairs should be sovereign states that recognized one another as such. In many ways, this system is indeed becoming obsolete. Non-state actors, in particular terrorist groups, pose one of the most significant foreign policy challenges in the modern age, and many issues, most notably climate change, are essentially borderless. Add to this the flood of refugees fleeing war, poverty, and violence from many places around the world, and it seems difficult to argue that the Westphalian approach to foreign affairs is still relevant. At the same time, in many ways, this is not a new development, particularly inasmuch as the Westphalian ethos has not been applicable to many nations around the world for many years. Powerful nations have regularly intervened in the economic and political affairs of countries around the world, especially in Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia. Indeed, these interventions, very much contrary to the spirit of Westphalia, contributed to the global inequalities that are, I would argue, more responsible for "identity-based violence" in such places as Syria and many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, than any breakdown of the Westphalian order.

South Africa has dropped down after New Zealand to 4th rank in the MRF Tyres ICC ODI Men’s Team Rankings in spite of defeating Sri Lanka by 3–2 in their 5-match series. South Africa, following the toss loss, scored an overwhelming 363 for 7 wickets in Kandy. However, Sri Lanka never appeared in the chase and was all out for in 45.2 overs 285 as the Proteas wrapped up the 5-match series. A debut century was hit by No 3 Reeza Hendricks—102 in eighty-nine balls with 8 fours and a six—prior to he was bowled by Lahiru Kumara, pacer.
JP Duminy scored 92 in 70 balls, comprising 4 sixes, prior to becoming 1 of 4 dupes for Thisara Perera (4-75). Also, 8 fours and 3 sixes were smashed by Dhananjaya de Silva, however, his 84 from 66 balls was not nearly sufficient for the opposing team, with Lungi Ngidi stating 4-57 from 8.2 overs.
With 113 points, South Africa began the series in 3rd place, one more than the 112 points of New Zealand. The series outcome witnessed South Africa drop to 110 points, whereas Sri Lanka acquired 3 points and budged to 80 points while staying in their pre-series 8th rank. England is on the table’s top with 127 points, whereas India is in 2nd place with 121 points.
In the interim, Kagiso Rabada, SA paceman, has been given the title of Wisden’s Golden Boy of 2018, an honor for the best men’s cricketer aged 23 or below in the world. A stunning start has been made by the South African fast bowler to his international profession, taking 151 wickets in thirty-two tests since his first appearance in 2015.
Rabada, 23, earlier this year, grabbed the young bowler ever tag by topping the MRF Tyres ICC Test Bowling Rankings and recently, he beat Harbhajan Singh as the youngest to the 150 Test scalps.

« Halftime - Wow. What a stinker. A Note From DBR - 10/10/08 »
Is Ralph Still A Good Coach?
10/5/2008 10:48:35 AM It begs the question.
Anyone looking at this team from afar can see that they have beaten two quality teams in Cal and Clemson, yet lost to two horrible teams in MIddle Tennessee and Virginia. They made those bad teams look great in doing so. It's hard to explain how a team can ride this rollercoaster from week to week. You look at it and say, "Hey! How hard is it to come out and play hard. How can you think any game is going to be easy? How can you not learn from your mistakes?"
1). Either they just aren't that good and had one great game against a good opponent. That's not our Terps. They are a good team with good players. They have explosive players on offense and what seems to be a very physical and large offensive line. They have some good players on defense, though the secondary is banged up. They beat 2 good teams. That was not lucky.
I say no. I know it's easier to get up for bigger games, but his motivation worked against Cal and against Clemson (2nd half). His overall record speaks for itself, whether he did it with his players or somebody else's. At some point you have to put it on the players. Now we can start the age old argument that we've gone around and around with when it comes to the hoop team. You know, the "if he recruited better players, better leaders, blah blah blah." But you have to look at the players we currently have and realize that it's 22 guys on the field that aren't coming together and playing with a sense of urgency and desire on a weekly basis. And most of these guys have gone to 2 bowl games, so it's not like they stink.
What this team is missing, in my opinion, is a leader ON THE FIELD. They need a guy who won't let these letdowns happen. We need a senior like Jeremy Navarre to step up and get the defense going. It's easier for a team of 18-22 year olds to listen to him, than a 60 year old coach. They need someone on offense like Turner or one of the offensive linemen to take charge and get that line blocking and protecting. Get Turner calmed down and into a flow. We know how good he can be when he's confident, but you can see the entire team fall apart when things start to go wrong (except Clemson).

Sheffield development, Alexandra House has been completed a month ahead of schedule, with a number of tenants already having moved into their luxury studios!
Three of the 23 studios now have tenants in with the other studios set to be filled in September, ahead of the first semester of the 2013/2014 academic year.
The waterside refurbishment, which was launched in October 2012, was developed by Hamilton Black, following the success of St. Ann’s Lodge in Leeds and Nelson Square in Bolton, which they constructed in coalition with Knight Knox International.
Following its launch, this development quickly caught the eye of our investors who saw the boutique student development as an unmissable opportunity, forcing the development to quickly sell out!
With X1 Salford Quays phase I set for an early completion; Bard House and X1 Arndale House set to be finished on time, Knight Knox International are continuing to maintain their reputation ofor ahead of schedule.
Construction levels hit a 90 year low last December, as councils within the 2 years previous.
These respondents also predicted that the next year will be a boom year in terms of construction, with 59% predicting tha12 months.
In conjunction with our partner developers we have brought a series of new-build developments to the market in recent years, including Dunfields, Chapel Street and X1 Salford Quays, as we continue to influence the market.

1. Good morning brHappy lunar new year to all of you.
2. Our HSA team just returned from Korea after celebrating God's day and True Parents' birthday and our True Mothers 70th birthday with our True Parents and the Korean people.
3. I was so proud of the American team, because they really made me feel like a good momma. They know that they went there representing this country and all of you and all the great work that we've been doo share the breaking news with the rest of our world community. I know that Joshua Cotter and Heather Thalheimer did a fantastic job of co-representing all the work that we have been doing here at Lovin' Life (Lovin' Life Ministries). We created packets, binders, for everybody to let them know and share how we go about our business here – really building a family ministry, sharing with our world community how to not just talk the talk, but to really live and make it our flesh and blood in terms of our daily lives. And so I really want to thank the GPA for tugging a couple of suitcases of those binders to Korea.
5. There were choirs from many, many different parts of the world, but I feel so inspired when I see the GPA Choir because it's not just made up of black haired people or representatives of a particular country, but in America we represent the whole world. So all the colors were represented.
9. You know that Father has been really living his whole life as the Messiah, come to really find that beautiful woman that he can call his own, raise up this perfect Eve so that they together can stand as the True Parents for all of mankind. But you know, they have been doing many, many wonderful works throughout their years, with the ultimate goal of truly liberating God from his life of suffering, because He has lost his son and daughter many, many thousands of biblical years ago.
11. But here our True Parents are proclaiming, now that we have liberated God, this is time of the complete victorious liberation of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and humankind. What is our True Parents saying to all of us? In a way our True Parents, by bequeathing to us the baton, are telling us, just as our True Parents came to liberate God it is high time that we, as a beautiful and perfect child of God, should take it upon ourselves to perfect ourselves and be in that position to really liberate our True Parents.
12. When you think about going about the business of the actual liberating of our True Parents, we have to ask ourselves, "How do we do that? How do we liberate True Parents? And what does that mean?" What are the True Parents? Why do they call them true? Why do they call them our parents? We call them our True Parents because they are perfected man and a woman, standing together in the position as a beautiful couple – they are doing the glorious work of God.
Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han January 25, 2012
13. So if we are to call these two people True Parents, because they have victoriously accomplished the work of perfecting themselves so that they can stand in the position as a perfect man and woman, what does perfect mean? If we consult our good friend, the Webster's dictionary and ask, "What does perfect mean, how would you define perfect?" It says a couple of things. It says perfect means something that is complete, something that is absolute, something that is pure. And when we refer to the Bible, it says in Matthew 5:48, it says, "you therefore must be perfect – you, you and me, all of us, -- you must be perfect as Heavenly Father is."
14. Our True Father explains what the Bible is trying to say – when he shares with us that the meaning of this phrase, or this sentence, "you therefore must be perfect, just as God is, or just as Heavenly Father is," Father says that what the Bible is trying to say is that our standard of value is the perfection of God. In other words, God created all of us as His object – meaning, just as God is perfect, likewise the object also needs to be perfect to have a give-and-take relationship with God.
17. When we asked ourselves, "Okay, this is the Era of the liberation of True Parents." How do we actually go about doing that? We want to liberate our parents. How do we as children really be in the position to liberate our parents?
18. Having spent a great deal of my time and years and dedication to the world of academia – I want to give you an example of a student. When you are teaching in the classroom in front of many, many bright eyed bushy-tailed and talented and smart kids – what we want as a teacher is for that student to really, not just learn the knowledge of what you are about to partake with them or share with them, but we as a teacher really want them to be the kind of people that can develop the tools to be that academically superior and brilliant scholar that will contribute something back to the community that they will invest in, in other words, the world of academia. So, when we really look in the classroom and we think – what is a perfect student? What is a perfect student in my class? What we are hoping for is not just somebody who knows how to memorize and get straight A's on a multiple-choice type of exam, but we as teachers want that kind of a student who will take in the facts, who will, of course, taken the knowledge that you are sharing, but be in this situation where the child, not just memorizes and regurgitates what they've learned, but they take in and they digest what they've learned and offer a new insight into that field of knowledge, or that field of scholarship. That is what we as teachers want when we think about who is a perfect student.
19. Likewise when we're thinking about – how do we become this perfect child of God, so that we can really be in a position to liberate our True Parents – aI like to remind myself is – there's this great thing called the 5% responsibility.
23. And this reminds me of something that I've experienced when I worked with the kids. Two of my kids are musical progenies. They have been invited all around the world to perform at different venues including Carnegie Hall, the Rachmaninoff Hall in Moscow. My second son Rexton, when he was 10 years old, he accomplished a very, very great victory – he entered an adult competition. You had in this competition – he was definitely one of the youngest ones, although I think there was a nine-year-old child there, the age went as high as 35. These were people who spent their whole lives in music schools and in conservatories, and had performed throughout the world. This was a huge international piano competition in Italy. To make a long story short, Rexton went through many, many different rounds. He ended up coming home with a grand prize. Performed a piece by Franz Liszt called the Bells of Geneva. Because he was 10 years old, and of course his Russian music (teacher) prepared him very, very well, he played beautifully, but he missed one note. When you hit the piano sometimes your finger lands on two notes as opposed to one. In one part he touched two keys as if they were one. Unless you are well versed in the music it goes unnoticed, but the judges, who know the piece quite well, they were well aware that you cannot say it was 100% perfect.
26. I was having a conversation with, not just my piano teacher – they call it the Russian mafia when it comes to classical music, whenever Russian teachers come to a location they huddle together and they all talk about their students -- and I asked them, "I had this incident where this Japanese Mother was really, really upset, because her daughter played without any mistake, and I know, I could hear, that Rexton touched two keys instead of one note. What would you say to someone like that?" A couple of the professors that were from the Moscow Conservatory, they were sitting around Rexton's piano teacher, and they said, "Music is not technique. Music is not perfection of what notes you can't or do not hit. Music is something living, something breathing. It doesn't matter how perfect you play. That's just sheer mechanics. Here at the international competition we are not judging people on their technical or mechanical ability, we're judging their ability to really be the vessel, or the temple through which the spirit or the power of the Divine is felt. If you close your eyes and do not look at this child who is standing on stage, I swear, that this was not a 10-year-old child playing the piano. This sounded like somebody who's been a maestro his whole life. That's why, when you take away the visual, the fact that he is a 10-year-old kid, and everybody expects the best mechanics and technique, but what we are trying to determine is who is truly a vessel, like the temple of God, that allows this universal language of love to be translated or transmuted, so that we could feel something. That's what music is. That's why, without any second thoughts, that kid is the grand prize winner."
27. I learned something incredibly important that day. We as children of God, are not always going to be perfect in terms of our mechanics, in terms of our technique. Maybe every now and then in the course of our life, in the odyssey that we call our life, we might step on two notes instead of one, in that we might not do everything perfect, the way that it is written in the music sheets, but it's not what you know – meaning, what you know in terms of your knowledge, the mechanics, and techniques of the piece, but it's how, how you live, how you perform. It's how you live, in being that true vessel of God, in being that true temple of God, that allows the unadulterated unpolluted music, for the love of God, to flow through your veins and inspire others with that power of true love. That's what it's all about.
28. That piano competition taught me a very, very important lesson – it's not what you know, it doesn't matter whether you went to Juilliard or Curtis. It Doesn't matter if you have a PhD. It's how you live, how you are, that temple of God that allows you to transfer that love, that divine love to others. And so when I look at GPA and I see the work that Mrs. Kubo has done – you know, she's not a PhD from Juilliard or Curtis. She is a well-meaning musical student. Yes, she did attend a musical conservatory, but she is approaching the GPA choir with a mother's heart. It's not what she knows, but it's how she has led the choir to become that impressive choir that came back with the grand prize.
29. So again I realized, being that perfect child of God doesn't mean you're not going to sometimes step on two notes versus one, but it's how we carry ourselves, how we live our lives, how we approach others in our daily dealings, that really gives us the blessing that we can call ourselves that perfect child or that the eternal son and a daughter of God.
33. In a way faith – it doesn't matter how well-meaning your parents are or I am towards my kids. I want them to have a life of faith. And they can obey me, they can come to church, they can tithe regularly, they can work for headquarters, but that will not be satisfying or me as a mom, to just raise kids who are so good at obeying. What I want for my children is not just to know how to obey, not just know how to be a great Mac computer, but to actually inherit the tradition, inherit the love, inherit the teaching – make it their own. Make faith their own, not something borrowed and followed, from mommy and daddy, but make it their own. That's how you really become a perfect child of God or a perfect child of the True Parents.
34. I'm reminded when I think about not just obeying. Obeying is good, and we should obey. But our end goal is not, should not just be obeying, it really should be inheriting. When I think about this I am reminded again of my two classical pianists, and my family. Being a home school mom, and at the same time making sure that they do their practicing so they can continue to go to different competitions and build their musical resume so that they have the ability and know how to perform with all the different orchestras around the world – it's really quite a monumental task. But I felt that, regardless of what I do with my life – I could continue on and become a college professor and teach multitudes of students, continue in my academic research and write fantastic papers, but I felt that, at the end of the day, if I could not raise beautiful children that are independent, that are empowered, inspired young men and women of God, then I feel that, regardless of whatever I did in my life, it would not be satisfying. But in the time that I did really invest in the home schooling process – I was there 24-seven with my kids.
35. We had a pretty rigid and disciplined life. Every eight o'clock – we would get up and have our breakfast – but 8:00 meant practice time, sharp. Not a minute late and not a minute too soon. We had two pianos in two different parts of the house. And they would usually practice three or four hours in the morning and do their home schooling in the afternoon.
36. So the mornings were an incredibly difficult time for me because the Russian teacher told me, "it doesn't matter what a great teacher I am if you, mother, do not take responsibility to make sure your child does exactly what I ask them to do before the next lesson – or it's a waste of my time, it's a waste of your time, and we should not continue." She was very, very strict in that sense. She expected a lot, because she knew that they were very, very talented – which meant that from eight to around lunch time – it was intense, intense practicing time. You know these are eight, nine, 10-year-old kids having to practice three or four hours every morning. It's not the most easy thing to do. So you can start them at eight o'clock, and they are really, really good kids and so they try their best. They obey their Mother. So "okay, 8:00 on your benches and when the clock hits eight you start." They always start with their scales. They have many, many different types of scales they have to go through. That usually takes about 30 to 40 minutes before they start working on their pieces.
38. The Russian teacher did a lot of work, after they laid the foundation with good mechanics, good techniques, and then it's all about making the music live. And so, they would have to play pieces at excruciatingly slow speeds. A beautiful piece like "Clair de Lune," everyone knows it and can hum it, but think about practicing it as if you lost electricity. It would sound (speaks in slow motion) it would sound this slow. But the Russian teacher would make them practice all the pieces that slow. And then she would slowly raise up the tempo so that by the time they're supposed to be playing their tempo, they can play not just that tempo but two or three times faster, whatever was needed in order to make the music breathe. And so these kids got to a point where they could play without looking. They could pretty much close their eyes and play. And of course I would continue to ask them to play slow. And I know the music so I know what they're doing. But because they are so talented, it was double the effort for me, because what they ended up doing is – they knew they had a set amount of hours of practice and they already knew the piece, so what they would do is, while their hands are going and the bottom part of the brain is working on music – Rexton, who loves video games, he would play videogames while he was practicing. So if you are not paying attention you would not know that he's not playing. Because he was playing all the right notes and he's playing the piece, but the only way you would know he's not doing it with his total concentration is by knowing the music has stopped breathing – because he's doing something else. Or like my daughter Ariana, she told me many years later, "When you asked us to practice I was reading a book." She was confessing it to me after all these years. She thought it was safe, now that she was in college and no longer bound to the piano as much as she used to be. And I said, "Yeah I knew that." And she said, "You did!" And I said, "Yes, your fingers are going. You're very smart. You memorize all your pieces. But the music was not breathing. That's when mommy knew you were doing something else." She said, "Yes, it's kind of weird how you always came into the room when I was doing something else, even though I was still making noise."
39. And that's what I mean. But as they got older, instead of just simply obeying, they started enjoying the process of performing and playing. My need to be there, to supervise them 24-seven, became less and less necessary. And as a mother, nothing is more fulfilling than to sit back and let your child be responsible, because they have inherited the desire to really practice and really give the gift of music and share it with the world. So I realize that, when I worked with my kids all of those years ago that, in a way, it taught me a good lesson – when we see ourselves wanting to be that great child of God or that great child of our True Parents, that is really in the position to liberate them victoriously and completely, then we need to concentrate not just on obeying, but actually inheriting everything that they have given to us or shared with us by making it ours, by making it our faith, our desire, our life, our life that we can give as a gift to God and True Parents.
41. One of the first things that I said to the different people that work with me is, "Lovin' Life Ministries is not like any other mega-church. What I am trying to do, here, with Lovin' Life Ministries, is not to create another mega-church that centers around a charismatic figure like Joel Olsteen or any other mega-church leader, but what Lovin' Life Ministries is, it's not about Rev. In Jin Moon. It's a means through which we can create a community of faith, community that will be responsible together, for ourselves, and work in conjunction with the different Districts to bring about the desired results – like the way the GPA choir successfully, competed victoriously by winning the grand prize. In a way, this is not about In Jin Moon being the next mega-church leader. Lovin' Life Ministries is a medium through which we will serve the community and raise the community to be the best it can be. And therefore my job as the senior pastor is not just to lead all of you, my job is to inspire, support, and nurture all of you so that all of you can become incredible future leaders. And by working together create and accomplish and establish the kind of world that we would like to see.
43. When I sent my team, our team to Korea, I was so proud of them as a national mom because I was not there. But they did beautifully. And they performed admirably, and they represented God, True Parents, and America inspiringly. And that's what our Heavenly Father and our True Parents want.
44. So if we only obey and we only follow and if we only come to church because my parents come to church, or because senior pastor happens to be talking, then we are not really inheriting, we are not really being that eternal son and a daughter of God that complete absolute pure human being that continues on regardless.
45. Think about it brothers and sisters. I know that a lot of us are so worried because Father is now 93 years old. And everybody is thinking, "What happens after True Father?" Well, True Father, many of us saw him as that charismatic leader. Many of us were so busy following, so busy obeying, many of us did not take the time to work on ourselves, to become that mature, independent thinking, eternal son and a daughter of God. And that's why we are suffering, because if you really think about it, what Father wants us, as his children, is not to be so confused and decidedly miserable, because he wants to retire or because he wants to ascend to be with our Heavenly Father and Mother. What he wants us to do is to be the kind of children that are living the Principle, that have inherited everything that our True Parents have done, that are proactive in contributing to the community, to help raise everybody up along with us. They want to know that their good work continues. And therefore, I as a senior pastor, wants to raise up, not just our community, but a healthy generation of peace that is capable of continuing the good work that our True Parents have started and that my family, my brothers and sisters, have continued with. That's really the only way we're going to have a future.
49. So if you really think about it, the way we can truly liberate our True Parents is to become a capable, that independent – not in a negative way, meaning you don't have anything to do with anybody – but really taking the burdens off of our True Father and our True Mother and making them feel we were in good hands, and now we are strong enough, we are mature enough, we are old enough to really take care of our own families, work together to build our own communities, and really honor your memory with our lives. And hopefully, by doing a great job, our children will do the same. This is how we liberate our True Parents, completely and victoriously – brothers and sisters!
50. Whether I speak at the pulpit or not. It should not make a difference in your life of faith. It doesn't matter if Joshua Cotter is speaking, or Heather is speaking, or Ariana is speaking, or maybe in the future Jaga or Dave Hunter is speaking. We are all from this community and we are building this ministry together. We are a family. And we need to start acting like a family, brothers and sisters!.
52. So brothers and sisters, one of the things I would really like to do is to encourage all the District Pastors at the beginning of this year to come together and share the pulpit with me. And I don't want them to tell me, at the beginning of the year, "In Jin Nim, I am all in." I want them to live it. And I want them to live it by coming and sharing the pulpit with me in an effort to be that united family, working together to raise great kids, to raise healthy families, to raise successful communities that can truly stand as the paradigm of true love. And if we can do that, brothers and sisters, that is how we liberate our True Parents.
54. And do it because you're not just living the know. Not just knowing the principle, but you want to build it, you want to contribute, you want to participate – because we want to inherit. That's what our life is all about. We need to inherit and make it ours – not wait for the horns of destiny to be steered by somebody else. It's ours to steer. We need to steer the course of our destiny. So don't you think we should do that? Don't you think that it's high time that we liberate our True Parents from all the responsibility and all the worries and all the tasks and burdens that they've had to bear along the way?
60. The answer is, the church is the inner core. Yes we are a church, but yes we are also a movement. But if we only emphasize the good works, the service projects, without bringing it back to God and True Parents and our tradition – then all the work we do is meaningless. Because, how are we different from any other service organization or movement out there. We are profoundly different in that we have our True Parents, we have our inner core, and that's why the united ministry in the church is essential to the work that we need to do – to share in the breaking news.
65. So here we are talking about … something truthful, something genuine, something real – not something superficial that looks good, but doesn't yield anything. Like that perfect performance, mechanically, that has no lifeliving a life of real love – and living the kind of life, exer!

He questioned what would be the purpose of continuing the talks if the Greek Cypriot side intends to continue dragging the process on saying: "We see no point in continuing these negotiations. If these talks are to be held just for the sake of holding talks why should we (the Turkish Cypriot side) sit at the negotiating table and waste all our time and energy?


This image has been posted recently on the forum, and some persons - myself included - have made light of it. However, I'm being serious here.
Aside from the drawing (which is what was made light of) the words above the drawing say, "Here, it is like this." I'm struggling with how to put this delicately, but in Europe is sitting on the toilet the proper way for a man to go when he needs to do number 1? Is this what mothers teach their little boys? I think if this is so then, as visitors to Europe, (not I personally, being a female) we need to be aware of this.
I say this because where I live one sees from time to time, signs in women's bathrooms advising women to sit on the toilet seat, and not stand on it and then squat to do one's business, the latter being the accepted way in some parts of the world, but not in North America.
It seems to me that the arguments can go all over the place, but my take is that it's a matter of just trying to keep the bathroom clean. A woman squatting down on a toilet seat - as opposed to sitting - can make an awful mess, the same as a man standing up to go, especially if he is not careful with his aim.
Not that I know of.Although lots of urologists/ doctors advice man to sit down on toilet when reaching a certain age.
In Spain we are not taught to sit down either. I found on Internet only Germany and Sweden.
... to go number one [sorry, I just can't use the other word]...
Why? What's wrong with the word ''urinate''?
Germany and Sweden! That really surprises me -I hope some of our friends from those countries will chime in...
I remember the first time I went to Italy (Europe) many years ago and had to use the toilet in a (quite good) restaurant. I remember standing there in the half-darkness wondering what to do as there was no toilet, only a hole in the floor!
Actually, that is a good word; I didn't think of that. It's the other word I have difficulty with.
Never heard of it being common in Germany or France but you read about such demands from time to time, mainly by women who are usually the ones who have to clean the toilet - or, more likely, are annoyed because the lid thing is still up after use. The image is apparently taken from Sörmland.
.......because the lid thing is still up after use.
This is supposed to be a serious thread !
The 'lid thing'?! You mean the seat !
YES! Couldn't think of the word in English for the moment. I knew it wasn't "spectacles" (lunette in France, Brille in Germany).
I think that @Kathar1na has come up with the most plausible explanation - that these signs are put up mainly by women who clean the bathrooms. Perhaps they would do better with signs suggesting that men aim for the downward slope of the toilet bowl, to decrease the velocity and eventual backsplash. Sorry, perhaps this is TMI.
Hmmm - how so ?
The manager of the cleaning department at Schiphol Airport had a great idea in the early 1990s. Thanks to the man who liked the idea (and ), the management decided to give the idea a chance. Thus the urinal fly was born: the image of a fly in all urinals, just above the drain and a bit to the left. After a lot of juggling with numbers, the claim is made that this saves up to 8% of the total budget for cleaning the public toilets at the airport.
The idea wasn't new though. According to the owner and manager of Thomas Crapper & Co (nomen est omen...), which manufactures period sanitary ware, The Victorians used pictures of bees as aiming spots in their urinals. "The bee was put on as an unusually vulgar Victorian joke. The Latin for bee is apis. Victorian gentlemen would have been schooled in Latin and would have got this joke, which would be lost on us now."
Lavatory humour, it never gets old.
Well then, the simple solution is for all bathrooms to have both a toilet bowl, and a urinal with a bee on it.
Now I have to go do some research on that unusually vulgar Victorian joke.
This is for squatting purposes: Please be sweet and wipe the seat.
So, you're sitting this one out?
What ever you're comfortable with.
@Icacos: You did ask ...
......
How about, If you should sprinkle while you tinkle please be neat and clean the seat! I believe that is the pet peeve of women!
Apis - I finally got it, and I didn’t even have to do the research. My mind doesn’t naturally stray to those low levels, my being so couth and all.
Hey, @Icacos, you can count yourself a Victorian!
Come over come over to that non serious thread...you have a zillion posts to catch up on...
@Kathar1na, I will enjoy reading those links later. Right now I am working - loosely yes, but still working.
The best laugh I've had for a while,thanks.
Sign in toilet at gite Hernandez in Lasbros France on the Le Puy route. I thought it was strange that it was in English!
That's what I mean ... seat and lid left up. Aargh !!!

Yes, we've figured that out, and have had a few laughs in the process.
Then there's this that I just came across. So now I'm totally confused. Perhaps you guys should just go whichever way works for you. Just make sure you've removed all evidence when you've finished....and put the seat and lid back down.
@stgcph wasn't arguing a case, he was trying to describe social views/developments in parts of modern society and they are still present and to the point, not only for Denmark but also for Germany. In these and other countries, a "peeing while sitting down" culture for men has developed during the last decades. Heated discussions about plus and minusses of this practice are conducted and the arguments are partly feminist, partly health centered. (Not my words, I summed up an article I read just now). Because it's apparently such a fascinating subject - witness this thread - it gets a lot more attention than it deserves.

It's not only the guys that are confused. I think it was at Brussels airport that I went to the ladies' toilet, opened the door to the first stall and was confronted with a urinal. I was totally puzzled, closed the door again - and have avoided these things ever since - and went to the next stall. At the time, I had NO clue how to use the thing. I know now, at least in theory.
I had travelled in France and North Africa and I had also been on trekkings, so different "ways to go" were not unfamiliar to me at the time.
Count yourself fortunate. I wish I could say the same.
Thanks for the enlightening debate. I’d like to pose a supplementary question: what, other than one’s own excreta, may one flush down a Spanish toilet? In Ireland, toilet paper goes in the toilet, sanitary towels etc. in the closed bin, hand towels in the open bin or waste paper basket. Spanish disposal customs seem to vary by province and/or plumbing capability. The lack of clarity in the instructions for waste disposal in one albergue on the VdlP read: PROHIBIDO TIRAR BASURA. Por favor no arrojen cosas al vater, accompanied by the distinctly unhelpful English translation: please do not throw things at water. The non-Spanish-speaking gentleman who used the facilities before me might thus be excused his literal interpretation of the sanitary rules, but he left behind him a malodorous bathroom and an offensive mess for someone else to dispose of.
And how would that be, in theory?
Maybe the wrong thread.
Don't know where this elephant come from but he is sitting .
Well, yeah, now that you mention it..
one of the feminist Fun Runs?
I am German and I taught my two sons (and my non-German husband ) to urinate sitting down on the toilet at home where we know the seat is always clean, but to urinate standing in public toilets. Same with me: sitting down at home, squatting in public toilets.
I do not want to minimalise some people's feelings at all but I really feel that we can count ourselves lucky to live in houses that have a toilet to begin with.And running water to flush.
Also I strongly believe , and science backs this, that we become more ill because our standards of hygiehe have never been better.
In my schooldays I remember the fly in the urinal bowl.
- when they were changed to a brand called Shanks, I duly changed it with a marker to Thanks...
This reminds me of a sign I saw in a men's lavatory somewhere: "We aim to keep this place clean -- your aim will help." There ought to be a world-wide law that this sign should be posted in all men's (and in unisex) lavatories/loos/restrooms/water closets/servicios and whatever they're called in other countries.
Edit: For those for whom English is a second language, in American colloquial speech the term "We aim to..." means the same as "Our goal is to..." or "Our intent is to...".
Now that is a good survey for the entire EU. All men should become sitzpinkler(n)! Imagine how much drier, if not cleaner the toilets would be on the planes and trains and bathrooms.
Aaah, Bizarro! One of my favourites.
In the interest of the international forum community, I might test sit on / test stand over / test hover over that particular model next time I go through Brussels airport. At the time, I thought I had to approach it like men do, facing it, but it's apparently the other way round.
While I was looking for a photo or instructions on the internet, without success, I learnt that Brussels airport was going to install waterless urinals some time ago - they areglobe, they say.
I hesitate to say this, in the interest of decorum, but I suggest you test it standing up. Going back to my early childhood, I recall my brother and boy cousins (probably between six and eight) deciding to have a contest to see who could 'go' the furthest - the staging ground was going to be a rock outcrop with the sea about fifteen feet below. One of my girl cousins (probably around eleven) decided to join in. She won the contest by a long shot. Er, no pun intended.
I wrote few days back that this thread is getting funny.
waterless urinals[/URL]Which, unless maintained rigorously, stink like fury.
Travelling south from Canada through Minnesota one winter a group of us stopped at a woodland "rest station" where the men's urinals were stainless steel funnels mounted on tubes let into the ground similar to US Army Pee Tubes.
Howls of laughter from our lady friends who had a similar device - think of a stainless steel bedpan reimagined by Edvard Munch ("The Scream"). The girls presumed that you were supposed to er straddle the device but, as one of them put it, if a bare thigh touched stainless steel at 0 degrees F you could be stuck against it until Spring thaw!
Kathar1na - I think you are Danish no?
This might similarly raise a smile or eyebrow - broad mindedness is required!
I've seen that sign also in the Istanbul airport in Turkey, but nowhere else.
I've checked this out with two male family members. I was told that I'd have to go very far to find anyone who would be shocked at the thought of a man sitting down to conduct the business of number one (this is not what I asked them, but that's beside the point). And both men said they sit for nighttime bathroom visits, because they don't want to turn on the light.


Gawler Greyhounds Friday 12th June 2020
It was a beautiful mild winter day on Friday. The racing was fast with a number of Greyhounds breaking the 23second barrier over the 400m during the course of the meeting. Race 5 was one of these with 1st, 2nd and 3rd all recording sub 23second finishes. The Open class race was always sure to put on a speed spectacle due to the quality Greyhounds running. The honours went to Black Kruger trained by Paul Bodsworth. Black Kruger jumped well from the awkward box 5 to take the lead ahead 2nd placed All out Crazy trained by Chairman of the Club Mike Wittholz. These 2 greyhounds had set the pace and it was only really in the last 50metres that you could see Black Kruger was going to win in the time of 22.72seconds, 3/4 of a length behind was All out Crazy in 22.77seconds and Ray Burgess trained Bangor Sophie in 3rd position in a time of 22.90seconds.
With Covid 19 restrictions still in place but being eased we are hopeful to be able to welcome guests back to racing sooner than laterthe Bunyip for updates.

I am a student at Katine secondary school and I have been attending school at the same time attending lessons at the resource center which I think I will help me in my future when I have finished my studies at school.
udents at the resource center and he made me an intern in the resource center– not only that he has still continued to add me more skills about the computer, and I think at the end of the project I would have benefitted a lot not only me but also the students.
In 2010, U-TOUCH opened our first Digital Centers in the rural villages of northern Uganda, a region ravaged by extreme poverty and rebuilding after a horrific civil war. Today, our Digital Centers are located in five villages
Besides that, I also got in touch with so many friends online and with the student to student connections and also the ementoring program, I have really gotten to learn and share lots of experiences with friends abroad especially in the states. I really hope these kinds of connection would in the long run become useful tooin Uganda as they get to share experiences of life and gain skills in their respective areas of interests. At the center still, I got to learn other enrichment skills being offered by U-TOUCH Digital Library center in Gulu and other centers in the region which include; job skills especially tips of creating attractive resume/CVs, writing application letters among others.
Also I learnt health tips and also attended the village savings and loans association training which has enable me to learn something about the need for saving wisely for future use and what is required to come up with such VSLA groups, it’s rules and regulations and so forth. Also very important is peace conferencing program that has really given me the skills in addressing problems and conflicts in the community and the world at large. I hope with all these skills I have gotten to learn from the U-TOUCH Digital Library Center, I would grow a responsible citizen and be able to work with self reliance utilizing all the great skills I have got to solve immediate problems around me.


Children coaching is an essential component to UNDERSTANDING your child's emotional and psychological development when experiencing the transitional phase of divorce and after. Due to the complexity of divorce, children may face emotional challenges, a lack of security, struggle to communicate their FEELINGS, blame themselves, avoid transitioning between two homes, reject mom or dad's new partner, or how to adapt to a new family dynamic and school environment.
Children coaching can provide children with SELF-SOOTHING techniques, positive mindest exercises to everyday emotional needs, effective communication with parents, overcoming disruptive behaviors, and effectively establish a healthy self- esteem.
Some Common Issues Parents Come To Us With about their child:
Struggling to adapt to a new home or school
Unable to connect with one of their parents or make friends
Feeling rejected by a parent
Inability to focus and complete school assignments
Experience a conflictual relationship with a new step-parent
"My son was having a tough time at home, as my ex would talk about co-parenting issues around him. He would get upset easily, being a highly sensitive child. I would try to help him understand his dad doesn’t mean what he says, but he would carry the anger around the house for days. This started to affect his school work and how he felt about himself. That’s when I decided to get him a coach to help him talk about what he was feeling. His coach gave him some tools to help him process and manage his feelings. Since, having a coach, his school performance has improved and he seems to be less reactive when something bothers him. I’m so proud of him for overcoming these challenges, and he still does coaching check-ins with his coach here and there to keep up with his progress"
Boost internal confidence and self-esteem by overcoming limiting beliefs of self-blame and feelings of rejection.
Develop self-soothing techniques and tools when they are feeling distressed from school work, peer pressure, or transitioning between both parental homes.
Establish healthy communication channels with both parents, effectively deal with discomfort and discord, and achieve lifestyle goals.
Children Coaching Can Help Your Child:
Adapt to a new home or school environment
Develop social skills to make new friends
Feel secure and find self-acceptance
Strive towards hobbies and goals
Develop strong relationships with both parents
Communicate their needs to feel respected
As Children Coaches, with a background in Professional Counseling and Certified Professional Coaches, we work with children clients from the comfort of their own home via Zoom. During our weekly 1-hour calls we will establish the root of their emotional and developmental challenges, provide insight, and implement tools to achieve solutions that best fit the interests of the child.

James (Jimmy) Percival Best (1883-1967)
As their photographer, his photographic records of architecture and natural history, received the highest acclaim and earned him many national awards.
As well as all this, Jimmy was keenly interested in gardening. His health and activity were phenomenal, indeed his death came only a day or two after a walk into Raincliffe Woods and he had, infact, been busy in his ‘darkroom’ until 10pm the night previous.


The Red Sox last seven games: Lost by 4, won by 4, lost by 3, won by 2, lost by 3, won by 2, lost by 3. Because we needed a way to boil their inconsistency down to a sentence.


The book about the man Job begins by describing his great wealth and righteous lifestyle.  Job has always walked faithfully, and God has truly blessed him.  Satan is clearly jealous, and asks God to permit Job to be tested.  He desires to prove that Job is not righteous, and therefore ought not to be so blessed.
Due to the language here, it is claimed that a reptilian rebel angel named “Satan” is in heaven with the good angels, despite other claims about him being locked in chains of darkness.  Furthermore he is presented as “walking up and down” in the earth (Job 1:8), though he apparently was previously sentenced to go upon his belly.  The myth continues boldly on, despite its numerous logical inconsistencies, which testify to the flaws in the theory.
Satan’s Job was no Angel
There are several reasons for excusing any angel from our list of potential “Satan” candidates.  Here are just a few more to consider.
The punishments upon Job were from Yahweh Himself.  Satan said to God, “put forth thine hand” (Job 1:11), indicating that Satan had no power to do these things independently.  Job’s possessions were destroyed by “the fire of God” (Job 1:16).  The narrative itself mentions “all the trouble the LORD had brought upon him” (Job 42:11).  Any place suggesting Satan had power, it was given from God.  This conflicts with the mainstream Christian story about Satan being cast out of heaven (or independently leaving), and being at confined to earth (or everlasting chains of darkness, or whatever).
Job acknowledges in several places that his punishment was from God.  So does Job’s wife.  Elihu, the only other human good character in the story, lists only two possible suspects for Job’s torments, God or man.  He said, “Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.” (Job 32:13).   These people were ignorant that any rebel angel titled “The Satan” even existed!  Yet along come 20th century armchair scholars who know nothing about the culture at the time, and tell us that a righteous man who God said spoke what was right, was just uninformed on this subject.  It seems a bit arrogant to argue thus.
To say that God would allow Satan to go unpunished seriously calls God’s justice into question.  The three friends of Job were sorely reprimanded for misunderstanding how God works, saying, “… my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right” (Job 42:8).  This being the case, then are we to believe that “The Satan”, who questioned God’s ability to know Job’s heart, and who caused Job to be tested so harshly, skated off into the sunset without so much as a slap on the wrist?   Those who push this rebel angel theory do certainly malign God and blaspheme the Glorious Ones without any shame.
The entire concept of “Satan” (as meaning sometimes “adversary”, or sometimes “false accuser”, is ridiculous, when it is considered that God “is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Heb 4:12) and “knoweth the secrets of the heart” (Psa 44:21).  If Satan were an angel, he would know this about God, and not try to second guess Him.   But apostate Christians without discernment somehow suppose that God is so unpopular that he needs to gratify the wicked impulses of His archenemy?
Satan was not in Heaven
As evidence that Satan is a rebel angel, we have been told that the adversary (satan) was among the “sons of God”, a term which may mean angels, or it may refer to human children of God, as it is often used elsewhere (1John 3:2).  The term is too ambiguous to use as “proof”.  Alas, we must move on to see whether there is anything more substantial.
We are directed to the fact that, after the conversation, Satan leaves God’s presence.  It is claimed that this proves Satan is an angel, because the conversation took place in heaven.  The view ignores the context of that day, wherein to “stand before the LORD” meant to stand “before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days.” (Deut. 19:17).  God’s dwelling place is in heaven, but he made his glory to shine over the mercy seat in the temple, and was represented by the priest.  Therefore, according to religious law, they would have gone to the temple to worship or to settle a case of judgment.  The Israelites also, when told to “present yourselves before the LORD”, came near to Samuel the prophet.  (1Sam 10:19-20).
This view is one which is ignorant of biblical language, comparing spiritual things with spiritual, since we were told that Cain, who was never in heaven, also “went out from the presence of the LORD” (Gen. 4:16).
The sons of God in the presence of God were simply the children of God who were worshiping together with Job.  Satan was embodied in either the sons of God themselves, or as someone posing as one of them.  Satan here represented the evil thoughts of men who were “jealous”, or coveted all Job had, as well as his reputation.  These thoughts no doubt these which made God angry.
Bro John Pople, in his book “To Speak Well of God“, performs a thorough, examination to determine the identity of Satan in the book of Job.  It’s an excellent book, and I highly recommend that everyone get a copy and examine the evidence presented for themselves.  I loaned out my own copy and don’t recall to whom.  I will be getting another copy.  The book is so named because the solution shows that God is indeed just and fair as the judge of all the earth, and that He alone can probe the depths of the human heart.
The relevant section is chapter 5, entitled, “Enter Satan”.  After some diligent analysis of the Satan identity question, the claim is made that it is the pride of Job’s three friends, which God, picking their subconscious thoughts, portrays as a an enemy which he must deal with.  Pople gives many reasons for his conclusion, a full handling of which is beyond the scope of this webpage.  His reasons were, for me at least, crisp enough that I was left without doubt.  In this case, a personification is portrayed as walking and talking, just as if a person.
Since many readers who encounter this page will scoff about actually purchasing something to read, even at the cost of its printing, even though it may enlighten them to the truth, or that some will simply not read because it is too much effort, here is the video online of Pople himself presenting his case.  But I still recommend the book.
Job’s “satan” were the pride of the three friends.  They were reprimanded, and so “satan” did not go free after inflicting Job with such pain and loss.  God’s justice is demonstrated only by this solution, and none other.  God tells us he is just.  If we misconstrue his word in a manner showing him not just, we make God a liar.
Note also how that Satan’s accusations against Job were questioning his faithfulness.   Job’s three friends, by calling into question his integrity, even if done subconsciously, violated God’s truth, that only He can discern of the thoughts of the heart.
The Lesson in Job
OK so if a rebel angel thrashes Job, and this causes his friends to suspect he has done something wrong, he sits there in in pain, until later he is restored, what is the lesson of the story?  Was there anything Job could have done to avoid that rebel angel?  The only moral to the story would be, when a rebel angel tells God to hurt you, don’t bad-mouth God, just sit there and take it like a man.  But how does that confirm what we are told about the character of God, that he is kind and long suffering, not willing that any should perish?  And how does it reflect on his care for us, if he gives his enemies powers to inflict terror and pain upon us?  What kind of a God is that?
God is not the author of confusion.  There must be some lesson in the story for our benefit that we can apply in our lives.   What if, rather, the story tells us about that enemy within ourselves, and that we must always be careful about the thoughts of our own hearts, especially the thoughts we have of our fellow-servants?  Our worse enemy is our own carnal desires, for we must always be diligent and ready to fight when sin rears its ugly head.  We must always be cognizant of our attitudes as we come before God, “For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies…” (Matt 19:19).  These thoughts don’t come from a rebel angel.  Jealousy, conceit, pride, contentiousness is ever present within, and must be subdued.  That is our enemy.  If the three “friends” of Job who were punished is “Satan”, then the story makes sense in this regard and we are given food for thought.   Some “measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.” (2Cor 10:12).
Furthermore, we know that God, like the Son, is “not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”  For him it is a waste for men not to turn to Him and repent (change).  And so it is that the three friends of Job who had evil in their hearts were saved by the suffering of the one the secretly were jealous of, which thing is a prefigure of the salvation that later came through Christ, when he was crucified by jealous men.  The same was also foreshadowed by Joseph.  His brothers, out of jealousy, wanted to kill but him, because it was not meant to be, instead sold him to slave traders.  All these things were precisely and carefully planned out by the father in advance of the world, for “Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.” (Acts 15:18).  God in his merciful kindness used Job as a type of Christ and to save Job’s friends from eternal death.  While these men held inside an unacceptable judgment of their fellow-servant, they could not be found approved of God.   God recognized their misguided thoughts about Job, and rectified their situation.
It is very important to acknowledge that the final conclusion must be that “the adversary” here was human pride being cast as a character in a play.   It is not unusual for a  personification to be given a voice and speak.  For example, in the book of Proverbs, wisdom is portrayed as a woman, and her words are quoted.  In fact she wrote the scripture there (Prov 8:12-36).  Nobody would suggest this is a real being named “Wisdom”.  Our minds can accept this very easily.
The problem that we have is in accepting a type of narrative where a literal personal being is having a dialog with a personification, even if that personification is his own inner voice, as is the case with “the false accuser” or “the adversary” in Job.  Nevertheless, there are other examples of this form in the Bible which are discussed in this series.  In one of these instances, the case for a personal dialog with a personification will be extremely clear, so that no doubts are left.
Except only to our more modern western culture and experience, we are unaccustomed to this concept, and so this literary method is strange and unusual.  It is a very rich, poetic writing style to use a literary device in this manner.  We ought not to limit God in His ability to compose an account using these powerful tools.
The only issue is for those who come along later, believing they can haphazardly take fragments of scripture here and there and connect them correctly in some completely non-relevant cultural mindset.   Most Christians grow up fully ignorant of the culture in which the Bible was written, and can only frame “satan” in the context of apostate Christianity.  It takes a mature, open mind to study and take the time to put the pieces of the puzzle together correctly.
