An invitation to receive freely the blessings of the Saviour. (1-5) Gracious offers of pardon and peace. (6-13)
Verses 1-5 All are welcome to the blessings of salvation, to whom those blessings are welcome. In Christ there is enough for all, and enough for each. Those satisfied with the world, that see no need of Christ, do not thirst. They are in no uneasiness about their souls: but where God gives grace, he gives a thirst after it; and where he has given a thirst after it, he will give it. Come to Christ, for he is the Fountain opened, he is the Rock smitten. Come to holy ordinances, to the streams that make glad the city of our God. Come to the healing waters, come to the living waters, ( Revelation 22:17 ) . Our Saviour referred to this, #Joh. 7:37 . Come, and buy; make it your own by application of the grace of the gospel to yourselves. Come, and eat; make it still more your own, and enjoy it. The world comes short of our expectations; we promise ourselves, at least, water in it, and we are disappointed; but Christ outdoes our expectations. We come to him, and we find wine and milk. The gifts offered to us are such as no price can be set upon. The things offered are already paid for; for Christ purchased them at the full price of ( 1 Peter. 1:19 ) have nothing to supply them; if Christ and heaven are ours, we see ourselves for ever indebted to free grace. Hearken diligently; let the proud heart stoop; not only come, but accept God's offers. All the wealth and pleasure in the world, will not yield solid comfort and content to the soul. They do not satisfy even the appetites of the body; for all is vanity and vexation. Let the disappointments we meet with in the world, help to drive us to Christ, and to seek for satisfaction in him only. Then, and not before, we shall find rest for our souls. Hear, and your soul shall live. On what easy terms is happiness offered us! By the sure mercies of David, we are to understand the Messiah. All his mercies are covenant mercies; they are purchased by him, they are promised in him, and out of his hand they are dispensed to us. We know not how to find the way to the waters, but Christ is given to be a Leader, a Commander, to show us what to do, and enable us to do it. Our business is to obey him, and follow him. And there is no coming to the Father but by him. He is the Holy One of Israel, true to his promises; and he has promised to glorify Christ, by giving him the heathen for his inheritance.
Verses 6-13 Here is a gracious offer of pardon, and peace, and of all happiness. It shall not be in vain to seek God, now his word is calling to us, and his Spirit is striving with us. But there is a day coming when he will not be found. There may come such a time in this life; it is certain that at death and judgment the door will be shut. There must be not only a change of the way, but a change of the mind. We must alter our judgments about persons and things. It is not enough to break off from evil practices, we must strive against evil thoughts. To repent is to return to our Lord, against whom we have rebelled. If we do so, God will multiply to pardon, as we have multiplied to offend. But let none trifle with this plenteous mercy, or use it as an occasion to sin. Men's thoughts concerning sin, Christ, and holiness, concerning this world and the other, vastly differ from God's; but in nothing more than in the matter of pardon. We forgive, and cannot forget; but when God forgives sin, he remembers it no more. The power of his word in the kingdoms of providence and grace, is as certain as in that of nature. Sacred truth produces a spiritual change in the mind of men, which neither rain nor snow can make on the earth. It shall not return to the Lord without producing important effects. If we take a special view of the church, we shall find what great things God has done, and will do for it. The Jews shall come to their own land; this shall represent the blessings promised. Gospel grace will make a great change in men. Delivered from the wrath to come, the converted sinner finds peace in his conscience; and love constrains him to devote himself to the service of his Redeemer. Instead of being profane, contentious, selfish, or sensual, behold him patient, humble, kind, and peaceable. The hope of helping in such a work should urge us to spread the gospel of salvation. And do thou help us, O Spirit of all truth, to have such views of the fulness, freeness, and greatness of the rich mercy in Christ, as may remove from us all narrow views of sovereign grace.
Isaiah 55:1-13 . THE CALL OF THE GENTILE WORLD TO FAITH THE RESULT OF GOD'S GRACE TO THE JEWS FIRST.
1. every one--After the special privileges of Israel ( Isaiah 54:1-17 ) there follow, as the consequence, the universal invitation to the Gentiles ( Luke 24:47 , Romans 11:12 Romans 11:15 ).
Ho--calls the most earnest attention.
thirsteth--has a keen sense of need ( Matthew 5:6 ).
waters . . . wine and milk--a gradation. Not merely water, which is needed to maintain life at all, but wine and milk to strengthen, cheer, and nourish; the spiritual blessings of the Gospel are meant ( Isaiah 25:6 , Solomon 5:1 , John 7:37 ). "Waters," plural, to denote abundance ( Isaiah 43:20 , 44:3 ).
no money--Yet, in Isaiah 55:2 , it is said, "ye spend money." A seeming paradox. Ye are really spiritual bankrupts: but thinking yourselves to have money, namely, a devotion of your own making, ye lavish it on that "which is not bread," that is, on idols, whether literal or spiritual.
buy . . . without money--another paradox. We are bought, but not with a price paid by ourselves ( 1 Corinthians 6:20 , 1 Peter 1:18 1 Peter 1:19 ). In a different sense we are to "buy" salvation, namely, by parting with everything which comes between us and Christ who has bought it for us and by making it our own ( Matthew 13:44 Matthew 13:46 , Luke 12:33 , Revelation 3:18 ).
2. not bread--( Habakkuk 2:13 ). "Bread of deceit" ( Proverbs 20:17 ). Contrast this with the "bread of life" ( John 6:32 John 6:35 ; also Luke 14:16-20 ).
satisfieth not--( Ecclesiastes 1:8 , 4:8 ).
hearken . . . and eat--When two imperatives are joined, the second expresses the consequence of obeying the command in the first ( Genesis 42:18 ). By hearkening ye shall eat. So in Isaiah 55:1 , "buy and eat." By buying, and so making it your own, ye shall eat, that is, experimentally enjoy it ( John 6:53 ). Compare the invitation ( Proverbs 9:5 Proverbs 9:6 , Matthew 22:4 ).
fatness--( Psalms 36:8 , 63:5 ).
3. me . . . live--by coming to me ye shall live: for "I am the life" ( John 14:6 ).
everlasting covenant--( Jeremiah 32:40 , 2 Samuel 23:5 ).
with you . . . David--God's covenant is with the antitypical David, Messiah ( Ezekiel 34:23 ), and so with us by our identification with Him.
sure--answering to "everlasting," irrevocable, unfailing, to be relied on ( Psalms 89:2-4 Psalms 89:28 Psalms 89:29 Psalms 89:34-36 Jeremiah 33:20 Jeremiah 33:21 2 Samuel 7:15 2 Samuel 7:16 2 Corinthians 1:18-20 ).
mercies of David--the mercies of grace ( Isaiah 63:7 , John 1:16 ) which I covenanted to give to David, and especially to Messiah, his antitype. Quoted in Acts 13:34 .
4. him--the mystical David ( Ezekiel 37:24 Ezekiel 37:25 , Jeremiah 30:9 , Hosea 3:5 ). Given by God ( Isaiah 49:6 ).
witness--He bore witness even unto death for God, to His law, claims, and plan of redeeming love ( John 18:37 , Revelation 1:5 ). Revelation is a "testimony"; because it is propounded to be received on the authority of the Giver, and not merely because it can be proved by arguments.
commander--"preceptor" [HORSLEY]; "lawgiver" [BARNES].
to the people--rather, "peoples."
5. thou--Jehovah addresses Messiah.
call . . . run--God must call, before man can, or will, run ( Solomon 1:4 , John 6:44 ). Not merely come, but run eagerly.
thou knowest not--now as thy people (so in Matthew 7:23 ).
nation . . . nations--gradation; from Israel, one nation, the Gospel spread to many nations, and will do so more fully on Israel's conversion.
knew not thee--( Isaiah 52:15 , Ephesians 2:11 Ephesians 2:12 ).
because of . . . thy God . . . glorified thee--( Isaiah 60:5 Isaiah 60:9 , Zechariah 8:23 ); where similar language is directed to Israel, because of the identification of Israel with Messiah, who is the ideal Israel ( Matthew 2:15 ; compare with Hosea 11:1 ; see Acts 3:13 ).
6. The condition and limit in the obtaining of the spiritual benefits ( Isaiah 55:1-3 ): (1) Seek the Lord. (2) Seek Him while He is to be found ( Isaiah 65:1 , Psalms 32:6 , Matthew 25:1-13 , John 7:34 , 8:21 , 2 Corinthians 6:2 , Hebrews 2:3 , Hebrews 3:13 Hebrews 3:15 ).
call--casting yourselves wholly on His mercy ( Romans 10:13 ). Stronger than "seek"; so "near" is more positive than "while He may be found" ( Romans 10:8 Romans 10:9 ).
near--propitious ( Psalms 34:18 , 145:18 ).
7. unrighteous--Hebrew, "man of iniquity"; true of all men. The "wicked" sins more openly in "his way"; the "unrighteous" refers to the more subtle workings of sin in the "thoughts." All are guilty in the latter respect, thought many fancy themselves safe, because not openly "wicked in ways" ( Psalms 94:11 ). The parallelism is that of gradation. The progress of the penitent is to be from negative reformation, "forsaking his way," and a farther step, "his thoughts," to positive repentance, "returning to the Lord" (the only true repentance, Zechariah 12:10 ), and making God his God, along with the other children of God (the crowning point; appropriation of God to ourselves: "to our God"). "Return" implies that man originally walked with God, but has apostatized. Isaiah saith, "our God," the God of the believing Israelites; those themselves redeemed desire others to come to their God ( Psalms 34:8 , Revelation 22:17 ).
abundantly pardon--Literally, "multiply to pardon," still more than "have mercy"; God's graciousness is felt more and more the longer one knows Him ( Psalms 130:7 ).
8. For--referring to Isaiah 55:7 . You need not doubt His willingness "abundantly to pardon" (compare Isaiah 55:12 ); for, though "the wicked" man's "ways," and "the unrighteous man's thoughts," are so aggravated as to seem unpardonable, God's "thoughts" and "ways" in pardoning are not regulated by the proportion of the former, as man's would be towards his fellow man who offended him; compare the "for" ( Psalms 25:11 , Romans 5:19 ).
9. ( Psalms 57:10 , 89:2 , 103:11 ). "For" is repeated from Isaiah 55:8 . But MAURER, after the negation, translates, "but."
10. The hearts of men, once barren of spirituality, shall be made, by the outpouring of the Spirit under Messiah, to bear fruits of righteousness ( Isaiah 5:6 , Deuteronomy 32:2 , 2 Samuel 23:4 , Psalms 72:6 ).
snow--which covers plants from frost in winter; and, when melted in spring, waters the earth.
returneth not--void; as in Isaiah 55:11 ; it returns not in the same shape, or without "accomplishing" the desired end.
11. ( Matthew 24:35 ). Rain may to us seem lost when it falls on a desert, but it fulfils some purpose of God. So the gospel word falling on the hard heart; it sometimes works a change at last; and even if so, it leaves men without excuse. The full accomplishment of this verse, and Isaiah 55:12 Isaiah 55:13 , is, however, to be at the Jews' final restoration and conversion of the world ( Isaiah 11:9-12 , Isaiah 60:1-5 Isaiah 60:21 ).
12. go out--from the various countries in which ye (the Jews) are scattered, to your own land ( Ezekiel 11:17 ).
led--by Messiah, your "Leader" ( Isaiah 55:4 , Isaiah 52:12 , Micah 2:12 Micah 2:13 ).
mountains . . . trees, &c.--images justly used to express the seeming sympathy of nature with. the joy of God's people. For, when sin is removed, the natural world shall be delivered from "vanity," and be renewed, so as to be in unison with the regenerated moral world ( Isaiah 44:23 , Psalms 98:8 , Romans 8:19-22 ).
13. thorn--emblem of the wicked ( 2 Samuel 23:6 , Micah 7:4 ).
fir tree--the godly ( Isaiah 60:13 , Psalms 92:12 ). Compare as to the change wrought, Romans 6:19 .
brier--emblem of uncultivation ( Isaiah 5:6 ).
myrtle--Hebrew, Hedes, from which comes Hedassah, the original name of Esther. Type of the Christian Church; for it is a lowly, though beautiful, fragrant, and evergreen shrub ( Psalms 92:13 Psalms 92:14 ).
for a name . . . everlasting sign--a perpetual memorial to the glory of Jehovah ( Jeremiah 13:11 , 33:9 ).

Tomato growers are suing the federal government, seeking about $40 million in losses from 2008 when the Food and Drug Administration erroneously blamed tomatoes for a salmonella outbreak later linked to hot peppers from Mexico.
Florida attorney Frank Baker filed the suit July 29 in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, Washington D.C., the only U.S. court with jurisdiction in cases involving the Constitution's Fifth Amendment "taking clause."
Baker said Aug. 2 that the growers — from seven states — are also seeking class action status. They want reimbursement for all U.S. tomato growers who lost business because of warnings from the FDA that cautioned consumers to not eat tomatoes from certain regions during the outbreak investigation.
Officials with the FDA did not immediately respond to calls for comment. Baker said the growers are not technically suing FDA, rather they are suing the federal government. The Justice Department will appoint an attorney to handle the case.
According to the lawsuit, retailers and foodservice operators canceled orders when the FDA issued the warnings during the summer of 2008. Growers contend that tomato prices dropped from $18-$19 to $4 per box, with some growers saying they had to sell their tomatoes for as low as 50 cents per box.
The growers are: High Hope Farms LLC, SK Enterprises of North Florida Inc., Butler Farms Inc., Two Feathers Farms Inc., Quality Produce LLC, Dan Jones, Circle C Produce LLC, Juniper Tomato Growers Inc., JWM Farms LLC, Jackson Farms, Flowers Farms LLC, Patterson Farm Inc., Hopkins Farms LLC, Mobley Greenhouse Investments LLC, Gregory Enterprises LLC, Townsend Brothers Farms Inc. and Murray Farms.
Reggie Brown, manager of the Florida Tomato Exchange, did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the case.
Two other cases were filed in recent years in South Carolina by tomato growers seeking reimbursement. Those cases included counts related to the Fifth Amendment "taking clause," but those counts were thrown out because they are not within the regular federal courts' jurisdictions. The two cases are still pending.
Overall, the tomato industry in Florida estimated total losses at $600 million, according to the new lawsuit. The industry in Georgia estimated that tomato growers lost $100 million.
Baker said the Court of Federal Claims generally moves a little quicker than other courts in the federal system.
"A judge has already been assigned, as has an ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution coordinator)," Baker said Aug. 2.
The U.S. had not yet filed a response to the tomato growers' complaint as of Aug. 2.

We love them! Very luxurious feel under your bare feet out on our deck.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.We love them! Very luxurious feel under your bare feet out on our deck.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I have this rug in yellow and LOVE IT!! It makes my screened-in porch....gorgeous. It is thick and if you spill something on it, it cleans up nicely. I look at the reviews and cannot believe that this rug has low marks. May rug is 10 x 10...square and looks very rich.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I was so excited to get this rug. I bought the yellow and was expecting a yellow and white rug. What I got was a brownish-yellow and off-white rug that already looked dirty with dirt ground in because the background color was such a dingy shade. I was extremely disappointed and so sad when I got this. I really love the design and can't speak for how the other colors look, but do not get the yellow. Bummer.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.I ordered the black and cream for my dining room, and the rug looked lovely. Unfortunately, the quality is not good. After just a few hours of sitting at my dining room table doing some computer work, the rug had begun pilling. I assumed it was the same as when a natural fiber rug sheds, but the fibers would not vacuum up or even pull off. I decided to return the rug.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Although the rug is described as aqua, it is much more of a teal. I wanted to pair this rug with some cherry red accessories, but beside the teal/green color, red would just not work. The product itself is fine- arrived quickly and well-packaged- just not the color I expected.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank goodness Will and Kate didn't pull a Kimye and keep their baby under wrapsI don't think I could take any more anticipation! Then again, who wouldn't want to show off that cute, wrinkly little face? I have to admit, I loved all the fanfare around this royal birth. Just knowing everyone all over the world was waiting, watching, and rejoicing at the same time is pretty cool. Good thing this little guy actually turned out to be cute! How awkward would that have been...
It looks like Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambrige (phew!) took after his uncle Harry with his looks. It's not like he got that hair from his dad! I still haven't gotten enough of this kid. His two minutes of camera exposure was so not enough. Where is the People photo shoot? I need more! I can't wait to see his little royal clothes. Does he get a baby crown? He is a prince after all. What are the qualifications needed to babysit Prince George? I'm guessing they aren't just going to call the freshman down the street. I'm just fascinated by all things royal and how the royal family lives. Aren't you? Who didn't want to be a princess when they were little?
Did you get caught up in the birth of Prince George? Do you have a total baby crush on him, too? Share your love in the comments!

Meet the queen: Palos Heights woman a first for Irish parade
BY SUSAN DEMAR LAFFERTY email@example.com February 28, 2013 5:18PM
If you go
What: South Side Irish St. Patrick's Day Parade
When: Noon, March 10
Where: Western Avenue, from 103rd Street to 115th Street
Why: It's the largest neighborhood-based St. Patrick's Day parade outside of Dublin and showcases community pride and celebration of family, Irish culture and heritage.
More information: www.southside
irishparade.org, www.facebook.com/southsideirishparade

Updated: April 2, 2013 6:04AM
The South Side Irish St. Patrick's Day Parade always has been a significant part of Margaret McGann's Irish heritage.
As a little girl, she danced in it as a Closskey Irish dancer or enjoyed the floats from her grandpa's porch. As a teen, she hung out along the Western Avenue parade route with her friends, and as an adult, she has worked at her family's Beverly Woods Restaurant/McGann's Pub, at the end of the route.
The 24-year-old has grown along with the popular parade, and this year is no exception.
For the first time, the parade will have a queen, and for the first time, McGann will be a queen — the South Side Irish St. Patrick's Day Parade Queen.
She claims not to be a "pageanty" girl, but her grandpa and her uncles talked her into applying, and she stopped in for the interview on her way to work at the restaurant.
"I was shocked," she said of learning she had been chosen. "I wasn't expecting to win."
She was crowned at a pre-parade fundraiser party Feb. 15 by the reigning Chicago Rose of Tralee, Margaret Rose Keating.
"I am honored to be such a big part of my favorite day of the year," the Palos Heights resident said. "I plan to soak it all in.
"The parade is always so much fun. Everyone is out. Everyone is in a good mood," McGann said.
Her favorite part of the parade is the wearin' of the green. This year, she'll add a sparkly tiara to her red curly hair and ride in a vintage convertible with other queens, including Keating, Miss Heart of Illinois 2013 Marisa Buchheit, and Miss Illinois United States 2012 Nancy To.
As the newly crowned parade queen, McGann will be entered into a pool of contestants vying to be named the Chicago Rose of Tralee on April 27 at the Irish American Heritage Center in Chicago. If she wins, she travels to Ireland in August to compete in the 54th Rose of Tralee International Festival — one of Ireland's largest and longest-running cultural festivals.
"I think 2013 is going to be a good year," she said, feeling the luck of the Irish.
Parade co-chair Joe Connelly said representatives of the Rose of Tralee presented the idea to the South Side parade committee, who embraced it.
"We thought it would be a nice opportunity for a young lady," he said. "It just adds to the pageantry of it all."
McGann was selected after an interview with an independent panel of judges, who felt she exemplified the qualities of the parade, with her strong family ties, involvement in the community and her Irish heritage, he said.
The parade committee hopes the queen will become a new tradition, and sees it as a way to highlight the Irish heritage and cultural celebration that the parade represents to the community.
That heritage is important to McGann and her large family.
McGann's Irish roots stem from County Roscommon, County Mayo, County Cork and County Kerry, Ireland. Her family's restaurant has been a mainstay in the Beverly community since 1954.
It was her family who convinced McGann to apply for the queen's seat, she said.
"My grandpa taught our family about Irish traditions," she said, seated beneath a family portrait in the restaurant lobby. "Now he has something else he can talk about. I think he's more excited about it than I am."
Her father, Bill McGann, is equally proud of his daughter.
"They could not have picked a better person. I'm not just saying that because she's my daughter," he said. "No one deserves it more than her, and I'm being objective."
He recalled that when his daughter was a young dancer, customers would give her tips if she danced for them.
"She couldn't dance a lick, but she had the face for it. She has the face of Ireland," Bill McGann said.
Her beautiful, long, curly red hair is embellished with smiling Irish eyes. She also has an Irish heart that cherishes her family's heritage.
"Everyone here is Irish and is very proud of that," she said.
There are always large family gatherings that include traditional foods and music. But on parade day, it also means that everyone works at the restaurant and pub, where every banquet room at Beverly Woods is booked with private parties, and McGann's Pub is open to the reveling public.
Bill McGann has never been able to see the parade, but this year he hopes to catch a glimpse of his queen.
"I'm certainly going to try," he said.
Until the parade steps off at noon March 10, Queen McGann is practicing her wave and searching for the perfect green dress.
"Everyone says I have to do the wave," she said, laughing as she demonstrated.
Her reign will be brief. She has to get back to work and tend bar on one of the restaurant's busiest days of the year.
"I guess I will go to work in my gown," she said.

Revision as of 18:48, 17 June 2010
Your access method is very similar to those with Windows XP or 2000. However, some different steps are required so your computer can find the storage01 server and to set permissions on your public_html directory if you want to create a web site. Follow the steps below:
- You must log into Windows 98 with a username that exactly matches your Pipeline username. Otherwise, these steps will not work.
- The server called storage01 is located in a Windows domain called Campus. Go to Start, Settings, Control Panel, Network. Select the Identification tab. Change the name of your Workgroup to Campus. You will see a message that your computer is updating some information. Reboot your computer when prompted.
- Using Windows Explorer's menu, Tools, select Map Network Drive. Enter the path \\storage01\username where username is your Windows Campus Domain username. (This is the same as your Pipeline username.) Enter your Windows Campus Domain password. You should now have a connection to storage01. You should be able to see storage01 and your directory in Windows Explorer.
- To recreate a directory for your web pages, make a folder called public_html You may now copy html files into it.
NOTE: Your files will not be viewable on the web until you set the permissions on your public_html file. You cannot do this on Windows 98 due to limitations of Windows 98. The workaround given below will solve the problem.
Windows 98 Users: Required One-time Workaround for Web Page Set-up
The following instructions are not needed unless you accidentally deleted your public_html directory or changed the permissions on your directory. If you want to make a web page and your computer is running Windows 98, there is one more set of instructions. You only need to do the following procedure once, after which you can use your Win 98 computer for accessing your web pages on storage01.
- Find a computer running Windows XP or Windows 2000. (E.g., ask to use a friend or colleague's computer, or use one in a computer lab on campus.)
- Connect to your own directory on storage01 by mapping to it. Do this by following the Windows XP instructions. Remember to disable Simple File Sharing on the Windows XP computer, if it is enabled.
- Follow the instructions given to recreate public_html.
- After doing these steps, all web pages and files you put into the public_html directory should be viewable at http://personal.stevens.edu/~username where username is your username.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I've been wondering about the US-Brazil-China triangle for some time
- China recently replaced the US as Brazil largest trading partner
- Both the US and Brazil are unhappy with China's currency
- Brazil fears China strong presence in the country and the threat of
- Brazil sees US markets as attractive for exports and also desires more
US investment, business presence (this is from a FIESP talk I attended).
Those are just basic ideas that make me wonder why we're not seeing the
US and Brazil taking advantage of this common ground, coming closer
together and working to solve their mutual China problem. sorry for some
random questions, but does Brazil has great possibility to drive away
from Chinese market and replaced by U.S or other countries, and if
capable? What are the areas China and Brazil have most competition for
which Brazil concerns over China's export and investment? are we expect
more rhetroic pressure against China on trade or currency? for U.S, the
need for pressuing on trade China economically comes also from its
political needs, what about Brazil?(I assume it could be more of
economic consideration, how it weights for cost and benefit of
trade/investment relations with China and v.s political lever?) This
may be something we've already discussed. It may also come across as a
ridiculous idea. But, nonetheless, it's an idea that is circulating
down here and I'm wondering why it hasn't had any impact or been taken
seriously by the US.
Top Republican claims Obama is loosing the Brazil battle to China
December 5th 2011 - 06:51 UTC -
The US top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said
President Barack Obama is missing opportunities to strike closer ties
with Brazil, allowing China to steal market share from US companies in
Latin America's biggest economy.
Richard Lugar is an influential member of the US Senate Foreign
Relations Committee Richard Lugar is an influential member of the US
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
In prepared remarks Senator Richard Lugar said the US needs to elevate
its relationship with Brazil to the status currently enjoyed by
longstanding allies such as Canada, the UK and Australia.
"The US agenda with Brazil should be much more ambitious" said Lugar in
his speech to the Brazil-US Business Council. The advanced copy was
provided to the media. "We are missing important opportunities to
advance our mutual interests."
Brazil is helping anchor global economic growth as the country invests
to host the 2014 soccer World Cup, 2016 Olympic Games and state-run
Petrobras develops the biggest offshore oil finds in the Americas in
three decades. After expanding 7.5% in 2010, the central bank forecasts
the 2.1 trillion dollars economy will grow 3.5% this year.
While applauding Obama for making Brazil the centerpiece of his tour of
Latin America earlier this year, Lugar said that more engagement is
needed. A bilateral tax treaty -- Brazil is the largest economy with
which the US lacks such an accord -- and a market access agreement with
the Brazil and Argentina-led Mercosur trade bloc would help regain lost
momentum, Lugar said.
"In too many cases, US market share is being lost to China and other
countries whose governments have moved more swiftly to embrace the
opportunities of the Brazilian market," Lugar said. "It's critical to
move now, not only because of competition from Asia and elsewhere, but
because Brazil's economic role in the hemisphere is expanding rapidly."
National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor said Obama is committed
to increasing US-Brazil ties and that the US was supporting Brazil's
desire to play a bigger role in organizations like the International
Monetary Fund, World Bank and the Group of 20 nations.
China overtook the US as Brazil's biggest trading partner in 2009 on
stronger demand for the nation's soybeans and iron- ore. Still, exports
of US goods to Brazil have surged 22% so far this year, helping to pad a
US trade surplus with the country that stood at 9.7 billion dollars
through September.

Tags: Human, Overpopulation, View?, and, your
I agree with Ruth. We'll just end-up wiping ourselves out. Too dumb.
I agree with Ruth!
WE must figure out some way of birth control - educating others.
I mean birth control as in free birth control and educating others about over-population, etc
Overpopulation is both a cause and result of extreme poverty. In some countries centuries of huge families have subdivided farms until a family of ten or twelve is trying to live on a few square feet of arable land. As this is impossible, the child death rate is horrendous. These countries have no safety net, so in order to have support in their old age -- say, above 45 or 50 -- parents choose to have many children so one or two will survive to take care of them. (Although where birth control has been made available, family sizes often drop sharply, so maybe that's a big missing factor.) (As to global warming, I guess that's largely a combination of overpopulation and increasing industrialization, as more third-world people start using automobiles and tractors.)
I agree that overpopulation is both a cause and result of extreme poverty. That's why I think innovations are required to reduce population to sustainable levels. Suppose, for example, people joined into voluntary groups of 300 or less to collectively decide on reproduction. All of their children would be obligated to take care of all of the parent cohort, and the parent cohort would be collectively responsible for raising the children as well as choosing who should be biological parents. No single parents, no orphans, no childless couples facing old age. Under these circumstances, groups which choose to favor biological parents who are healthier, smarter, and less criminal would pay off for everyone. Screening for genetic disease would pay off in fewer ill offspring who would burden rather than support the parent cohort. If the population must contract, which it must, no couple should be forced to bear all of the sacrifices alone. Of course it's radical.
lack of education, liberal arts and condoms.. seems IUD's are huge now though.. and fail on the Vatican splendor from hell~ pfffft
Have you heard about the Cane toad problem in Northern Australia ? Well, the story is that South American toads were introduced to Northern Australia to combat insects which eat the sugar cane harvest. Unfortunately, the toads found the environment favourable, found natural food sources and proliferated because there was no natural defence to them. They are literally everywhere to the detriment of the native wildlife. Another example is the European Lantana bush which was introduced to gardens in Australia and found the bushland an easy environment in which to multiply. Lantana covers and strangles native vegetation. The fauna and flora described is like vermin and efforts are made to destroy it before it causes extinction and destroys the ecosystem.
The human population can be viewed as verminous like Cane toads and Lantana in my opinion. Since we left Africa and populated the world many species have suffered but human population numbers are now unprecedented and consequently a large part of the natural world is extinct or facing extinction. There is a direct link between human population and the erosion of the worlds last resources.
I agree Napoleon Bonaparte! I also think the humans seem to be a bad mutation in evolution. The damage we've done to this beautiful Earth...
I see beauty in ourselves living our lives in comfortable civilisation. It's only when I stand back and look at the planet that I see the ugliness caused by massive human overpopulation.

The Resource Center has all the info you'll need From content to user feedback, the resource center has the information you need for every level of the entrepreneurial process.
This article provides an excellent framework not only for how to raise money but also for how to think about raising money. Key point: Always stay nine months ahead of your need for cash.
Brief and focused, this article offers a solid outline of the questions venture capitalists and other potential funders ask before they show you the money. Only a well-prepared entrepreneur can supply the answers.
A straightforward article about the three options you have to collect a debt from a non-payer: write a final demand for payment letter, sue in small claims court, or sue in state civil trial court. In each case, you'll need documentation of your claim and your attempts to collect, not to mention the hardy persistence entrepreneurs are known for. Bonus: Links to several other resources.
There's a convergence in international accounting standards (GAAP vs. IFRS, mainly) that entrepreneurs with growing global interests might want to be aware of, as reported by this lengthy article. However, larger corporations seem to be the key players right now.
A leaner finance function will reduce costs, increase quality, and better align corporate responsibilities in finance and other departments. This article shows how CFOs can apply the waste-reduction principles of lean manufacturing to their challenges.
A venture capitalist explains how key performance indicators (KPIs) are best compiled and used. They should be straightforward covering financial items and people, probably no more than 20, tied to specific managers, and coordinated by the CFO. Sales should be handled as a separate category.
For quick reference and review, present your board with a one-page summary of your company's finances at your quarterly meetings. Open-book management companies can use it for employees, too. This technique doesn't exempt you from standard financial reporting, but it does help key stakeholders more quickly see and appreciate the big picture.
What's the best way to communicate with funding sources? Guy Kawasaki provides both best-case and worst-case tactics for tracking down and capturing the money you need to grow.
Pulling legal documents from the internet may be quick, cheap, and easy, but keep in mind you get what you pay for. Sometimes more is less. An experienced, straight-talking start-up veteran provides three best practices about how to avoid mistakes, what you should pay, and how to negotiate fees.
There are pros and cons associated with using a convertible note structure before doing a Series A round of investment. A venture capitalist explains the ins and outs with a brief, straightforward introduction, including blog comments from other sources.

UNITAR/UNOSAT and its partner NOVACOM Services hosted the second HumaNav workshop at the International Humanitarian City in Dubai on 26 March 2013. The workshop brought together organizations who have adopted the HumaNav tracking system, a navigation and data capturing solution specially designed for humanitarian vehicles. The event gave participants an opportunity to share and discuss their experience with HumaNav, and to learn about new developments in the technology and services offered by HumaNav.
During the workshop, the World Food Programme (WFP) announced its decision to adopt the HumaNav solution. The news has special significance also because WEF is using the service to optimize their fleet operations during the very large food delivery programme in Sudan. Recently, the HumaNav consortium won the international tender launched by WFP to identify the solution that will equip its entire fleet. Lionel Marre, IT Officer at WFP explained at the workshop that the objective is to put in place multi-functional vehicle tracking, data transfer, and a communication system using the HumaNav solution.
The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) had adopted the HumaNav solution already in 2012, but in early 2013 the solution has become part of the UNHCR Global Fleet Management project. The Refugee Agency expects to continue equipping all UNHCR vehicles with HumaNav. Svante Yngrot, Senior Field Safety Advisor at UNHCR in Kenya, took the opportunity to show workshop participants how the HumaNav system is used to address daily security challenges and operations in Kenya.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is also an early user of the HumaNav system and Dario Moro, Fleet Manager at ICRC Geneva, explained how on-board messaging is currently analysed by the organization to become the future communication tool for their vehicle fleet.
Erkin Iliaz, Transport Officer at the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in Kosovo, showed how the organization uses GPRS based tracking system as a fleet management tool for the monitoring of driver behaviour and to manage the movement of vehicles and staff with the objective of improving the vehicles' operational costs and security.
Jérôme Piat of NOVACOM Services presented the recent developments in HumaNav products and services, including a new driver identification system and newly designed driver behaviour reports. Novel applications in satellite based voice communications and new messaging terminals are demonstrations that better solutions are being made available to humanitarian users. Laurent Besombes, Product Marketing Manager at NOVACOM Services, talked about future developments that should enrich HumaNav even further in 2013 and 2014.
HumaNav has been endorsed by the UN Working Group on Emergency Telecommunications, yet it was originally though as a support tool for the wider international humanitarian community, not only UN agencies and programmes. The solution is in fact increasingly popular with NGOs. The latest users include the two largest aid organisations in Germany: Welthungerhilfe and the German Development Cooperation (GIZ).
UNOSAT and NOVACOM Services are already planning for the next opportunity to bring together the HumaNav community.

Memorial# 6610493Admiral Harry D Felt
His son Donald Linn Felt was my Naval Academy classmate. I added a link to Harry D. to Linn's memorial, which I maintain, as his paternal link. Somehow a paternal link to Linn was submitted for Harry D's memorial to make Linn his own grandfather. I looked up the parents of Harry D. as confirmed by his Wikipedia biography and submitted the correct parental links just now.

Your redundant entry for Adm. Edward D. Taussig
It appears you may no longer be active on this site, since I emailed to the email address you have listed months ago that the memorial you created for Admiral Edward D. Taussig is both redundant of the "important person" entry for this person and also inaccurate since Taussig is buried at the Naval Academy Cemetery in Annapolis, not Arlington.

Are you also the creator of the memorial for his son, Adniral James L. Holloway III? I visited it earlier today but now it does not appear in response to a search. His son James L. Holloway IV 1946-1964 is buried in Section 7 Plot 1586 according to the cemetery's burial index and the parents are listed in the same plot although the stone has all three names, and only birth dates for the parents. The Alumni Association obituaNO James L. II is still alive.

I had his name speeld Kincaid, so could not find him, and was goibg to create a memorial to propse as famous (he was, indeed) I finally got the visitor center to tell me thathe is in section 5, plot 82, after they corrected my spelling. think that as a famous person the Find A Grave adninistration will take over his memorial. I was ready to post the first couple of paragraphs of his Wikipedia biography, which is very large. He graduated from USNA in the lower half of the class of 1908. During WWII he commanded the 7th Fleet under Douglas Macarthur in the SOUTHWEST pacific theater. He commanded the amphibious forces at the Leyte Gulf landings.

Bernhard Mux
Hello Bill,
my name is Bernhard Mux, Cologne, Germany.
I found the grave of Mary Theresia Mux Greisen. She was born in Butzheim [Now: Rommerskirchen-Butzheim, county Neuss] Nov. 7 1815. I have her birth certificate. She married in Nettesheim Jul. 20 1837 Christian Griesen. He changed his name to "GREISEN"
Katharina Gruenther was born 1876 Sprinfield, Wisconsin. I read "Kathrina Gr�nther = GRUENTHER"
She is the daugther of Henry Gruenther and Agnes Greisen. His grave is on Mount Angel Pioneer Cemetery. He was born in Sinsteden [Now: Rommerskirchen-Butzheim, county Neuss] on Oct. 29 1837 and died Mount Angel 1894. Agnes Greisen Gruenther nee Greisen is on Saint Bernard Cemetery, Lindsay, Platte Center, Nebraska. The name is there "Grunther".
I can not find the son Christian M.Gruenther b 10.06.1871 d March 1923 Omaha. He is the father by General Alfred Gruenther.
Thank you very much for help.

World Market Poultry Shears
Not What I Expected
We picked these up at the store in Chino Hills area and used them the first time on a whole chicken last night. While the description says they are erogonomic, I did not feel like they were when using them. I have med/large women's average hands. My fingers/hand wanted to continuously slip off the straight padded handle. I feel these are dangerous to use & I exercised extreme caution while using them. The safety latch for securing the blades closed for storage works fine. They did cut through bone, but not as well as I expected. They are inexpensive as far as poultry shears go, but I do not recommend them.
April 16, 2012
cheap quality
I borrowed these shears from my chef and broke them cutting crab shell. They are garbage!

Job declares his uprightness. (1-8) His integrity. (9-15) Job merciful. (16-23) Job not guilty of covetousness or idolatry. (24-32) Job not guilty of hypocrisy and violence. (33-40)
Verses 1-8 Job did not speak the things here recorded by way of boasting, but in answer to the charge of hypocrisy. He understood the spiritual nature of God's commandments, as reaching to the thoughts and intents of the heart. It is best to let our actions speak for us; but in some cases we owe it to ourselves and to the cause of God, solemnly to protest our innocence of the crimes of which we are falsely accused. The lusts of the flesh, and the love of the world, are two fatal rocks on which multitudes split; against these Job protests he was always careful to stand upon his guard. And God takes more exact notice of us than we do of ourselves; let us therefore walk circumspectly. He carefully avoided all sinful means of getting wealth. He dreaded all forbidden profit as much as all forbidden pleasure. What we have in the world may be used with comfort, or lost with comfort, if honestly gotten. Without strict honestly and faithfulness in all our dealings, we can have no good evidence of true godliness. Yet how many professors are unable to abide this touchstone!
Verses 9-15 All the defilements of the life come from a deceived heart. Lust is a fire in the soul: those that indulge it, are said to burn. It consumes all that is good there, and lays the conscience waste. It kindles the fire of God's wrath, which, if not quenched by the blood of Christ, will consume even to eternal destruction. It consumes the body; it consumes the substance. Burning lusts bring burning judgments. Job had a numerous household, and he managed it well. He considered that he had a Master in heaven; and as we are undone if God should be severe with us, we ought to be mild and gentle towards all with whom we have to do.
Verses 16-23 Job's conscience gave testimony concerning his just and charitable behaviour toward the poor. He is most large upon this head, because in this matter he was particularly accused. He was tender of all, and hurtful to none. Notice the principles by which Job was restrained from being uncharitable and unmerciful. He stood in awe of the Lord, as certainly against him, if he should wrong the poor. Regard to worldly interests may restrain a man from actual crimes; but the grace of God alone can make him hate, dread, and shun sinful thoughts and desires.
Verses 24-32 Job protests, 1. That he never set his heart upon the wealth of this world. How few prosperous professors can appeal to the Lord, that they have not rejoiced because their gains were great! Through the determination to be rich, numbers ruin their souls, or pierce themselves with many sorrows. 2. He never was guilty of idolatry. The source of idolatry is in the heart, and it corrupts men, and provokes God to send judgments upon a nation. 3. He neither desired nor delighted in the hurt of the worst enemy he had. If others bear malice to us, that will not justify us in bearing malice to them. 4. He had never been ( 1 Peter. 4:9 )
Verses 33-40 Job clears himself from the charge of hypocrisy. We are loth to confess our faults, willing to excuse them, and to lay the blame upon others. But he that thus covers his sins, shall not prosper, ( Proverbs 28:13 ) . He speaks of his courage in what is good, as an evidence of his sincerity in it. When men get estates unjustly, they are justly deprived of comfort from them; it was sown wheat, but shall come up thistles. What men do not come honestly by, will never do them any good. The words of Job are ended. They end with a bold assertion, that, with respect to accusation against his moral and religious character as the cause for his sufferings, he could appeal to God. But, however confident Job was, we shall see he was mistaken, chap. 40:4, chap. 40:5 ; 1Jo. 1:8 . Let us all judge ourselves; wherein we are guilty, let us seek forgiveness in that blood which cleanseth from all sin; and may the Lord have mercy upon us, and write his laws in our hearts!
1. Job proceeds to prove that he deserved a better lot. As in the twenty-ninth chapter, he showed his uprightness as an emir, or magistrate in public life, so in this chapter he vindicates his character in private life.
1-4. He asserts his guarding against being allured to sin by his senses.
think--rather, "cast a (lustful) look." He not merely did not so, but put it out of the question by covenanting with his eyes against leading him into temptation ( Proverbs 6:25 , Matthew 5:28 ).
2. Had I let my senses tempt me to sin, "what portion (would there have been to me, that is, must I have expected) from (literally, of) God above, and what inheritance from (literally, of) the Almighty," &c. [MAURER] ( Job 20:29 , 27:13 ).
3. Answer to the question in Job 31:2 .
4. Doth not he see? &c.--Knowing this, I could only have expected "destruction" ( Job 31:3 ), had I committed this sin ( Proverbs 5:21 ).
5. Job's abstinence from evil deeds.
vanity--that is, falsehood ( Psalms 12:2 ).
6. Parenthetical. Translate: "Oh, that God would weigh me . . . then would He know," &c.
7. Connected with Job 31:6 .
the way--of God ( Job 23:11 , Jeremiah 5:5 ). A godly life.
heart . . . after . . . eyes--if my heart coveted, what my eyes beheld ( Ecclesiastes 11:9 , Joshua 7:21 ).
hands--( Psalms 24:4 ).
8. Apodosis to Job 31:5 Job 31:7 ; the curses which he imprecates on himself, if he had done these things ( Leviticus 26:16 , Amos 9:14 , Psalms 128:2 ).
offspring--rather, "what I plant," my harvests.
9-12. Job asserts his innocence of adultery.
deceived--hath let itself be seduced ( Proverbs 7:8 , Genesis 39:7-12 ).
laid wait--until the husband went out.
10. grind--turn the handmill. Be the most abject slave and concubine ( Isaiah 47:2 , 2 Samuel 12:11 ).
11. In the earliest times punished with death ( Genesis 38:24 ). So in later times ( Deuteronomy 22:22 ). Heretofore he had spoken only of sins against conscience; now, one against the community, needing the cognizance of the judge.
12. ( Proverbs 6:27-35 , Proverbs 8:6-23 Proverbs 8:26 Proverbs 8:27 ). No crime more provokes God to send destruction as a consuming fire; none so desolates the soul.
13-23. Job affirms his freedom from unfairness towards his servants, from harshness and oppression towards the needy.
despise the cause--refused to do them justice.
14, 15. Parenthetical; the reason why Job did not despise the cause of his servants. Translate: What then (had I done so) could I have done, when God arose (to call me to account); and when He visited (came to enquire), what could I have answered Him?
15. Slaveholders try to defend themselves by maintaining the original inferiority of the slave. But Malachi 2:10 , Acts 17:26 , Ephesians 6:9 make the common origin of masters and servants the argument for brotherly love being shown by the former to the latter.
16. fail--in the vain expectation of relief ( Job 11:20 ).
17. Arabian rules of hospitality require the stranger to be helped first, and to the best.
18. Parenthetical: asserting that he did the contrary to the things in Job 31:16 Job 31:17 .
he--the orphan.
guided her--namely, the widow, by advice and protection. On this and "a father," see Job 29:16 .
19. perish--that is, ready to perish ( Job 29:13 ).
20. loins--The parts of the body benefited by Job are poetically described as thanking him; the loins before naked, when clad by me, wished me every blessing.
21. when--that is, "because."
I saw--that I might calculate on the "help" of a powerful party in the court of justice--("gate"), if I should be summoned by the injured fatherless.
22. Apodosis to Job 31:13 Job 31:16 Job 31:17 Job 31:19 Job 31:20 Job 31:21 . If I had done those crimes, I should have made a bad use of my influence ("my arm," figuratively, Job 31:21 ): therefore, if I have done them let my arm (literally) suffer. Job alludes to Eliphaz' charge ( Job 22:9 ). The first "arm" is rather the shoulder. The second "arm" is the forearm.
from the bone--literally, "a reed"; hence the upper arm, above the elbow.
23. For--that is, the reason why Job guarded against such sins. Fear of God, though he could escape man's judgment ( Genesis 39:9 ). UMBREIT more spiritedly translates, Yea, destruction and terror from God might have befallen me (had I done so): mere fear not being the motive.
highness--majestic might.
endure--I could have availed nothing against it.
24, 25. Job asserts his freedom from trust in money ( 1 Timothy 6:17 ). Here he turns to his duty towards God, as before he had spoken of his duty towards himself and his neighbor. Covetousness is covert idolatry, as it transfers the heart from the Creator to the creature ( Colossians 3:5 ). In Job 31:26 Job 31:27 he passes to overt idolatry.
26. If I looked unto the sun (as an object of worship) because he shined; or to the moon because she walked, &c. Sabaism (from tsaba, "the heavenly hosts") was the earliest form of false worship. God is hence called in contradistinction, "Lord of Sabaoth." The sun, moon, and stars, the brightest objects in nature, and seen everywhere, were supposed to be visible representatives of the invisible God. They had no temples, but were worshipped on high places and roofs of houses ( Ezekiel 8:16 , Deuteronomy 4:19 , 2 Kings 23:5 2 Kings 23:11 ). The Hebrew here for "sun" is light. Probably light was worshipped as the emanation from God, before its embodiments, the sun, &c. This worship prevailed in Chaldea; wherefore Job's exemption from the idolatry of his neighbors was the more exemplary. Our "Sun-day," "Mon-day," or Moon-day, bear traces of Sabaism.
27. enticed--away from God to idolatry.
kissed . . . hand--"adoration," literally means this. In worshipping they used to kiss the hand, and then throw the kiss, as it were, towards the object of worship ( 1 Kings 19:18 , Hosea 13:2 ).
28. The Mosaic law embodied subsequently the feeling of the godly from the earliest times against idolatry, as deserving judicial penalties: being treason against the Supreme King ( Deuteronomy 13:9 , 17:2-7 , Ezekiel 8:14-18 ). This passage therefore does not prove Job to have been subsequent to Moses.
29. lifted up myself--in malicious triumph ( Proverbs 17:5 , 24:17 , Psalms 7:4 ).
30. mouth--literally, "palate."
wishing--literally, "so as to demand his (my enemy's) soul," that is, "life by a curse." This verse parenthetically confirms Job 31:30 . Job in the patriarchal age of the promise, anterior to the law, realizes the Gospel spirit, which was the end of the law (compare Leviticus 19:18 , Deuteronomy 23:6 , with Matthew 5:43 Matthew 5:44 ).
31. That is, Job's household said, Oh, that we had Job's enemy to devour, we cannot rest satisfied till we have! But Job refrained from even wishing revenge ( 1 Samuel 26:8 , 2 Samuel 16:9 2 Samuel 16:10 ). So Jesus Christ ( Luke 9:54 Luke 9:55 ). But, better (see Job 31:32 ), translated, "Who can show (literally, give) the man who was not satisfied with the flesh (meat) provided by Job?" He never let a poor man leave his gate without giving him enough to eat.
32. traveller--literally, "way," that is, wayfarers; so expressed to include all of every kind ( 2 Samuel 12:4 ).
33. Adam--translated by UMBREIT, "as men do" ( Hosea 6:7 , where see Margin). But English Version is more natural. The very same word for "hiding" is used in Genesis 3:8 Genesis 3:10 , of Adam hiding himself from God. Job elsewhere alludes to the flood. So he might easily know of the fall, through the two links which connect Adam and Abraham (about Job's time), namely, Methuselah and Shem. Adam is representative of fallen man's propensity to concealment ( Proverbs 28:13 ). It was from God that Job did not "hide his iniquity in his bosom," as on the contrary it was from God that "Adam" hid in his lurking-place. This disproves the translation, "as men"; for it is from their fellow men that "men" are chiefly anxious to hide their real character as guilty. MAGEE, to make the comparison with Adam more exact, for my "bosom" translates, "lurking-place."
34. Rather, the apodosis to Job 31:33 , "Then let me be fear-stricken before a great multitude, let the contempt, &c., let me keep silence (the greatest disgrace to a patriot, heretofore so prominent in assemblies), and not go out," &c. A just retribution that he who hides his sin from God, should have it exposed before man ( 2 Samuel 12:12 ). But Job had not been so exposed, but on the contrary was esteemed in the assemblies of the "tribes"--("families"); a proof, he implies, that God does not hold him guilty of hiding sin ( Job 24:16 , contrast with Job 29:21-25 ).
35. Job returns to his wish ( Job 13:22 , 19:23 ). Omit "is"; "Behold my sign," that is, my mark of subscription to the statements just given in my defense: the mark of signature was originally a cross; and hence the letter Tau or T. Translate, also "Oh, that the Almighty," &c. He marks "God" as the "One" meant in the first clause.
adversary--that is, he who contends with me, refers also to God. The vagueness is designed to express "whoever it be that judicially opposes me"--the Almighty if it be He.
had written a book--rather, "would write down his charge."
36. So far from hiding the adversary's "answer" or "charge" through fear,
I would take it on my shoulders--as a public honor ( Isaiah 9:6 ).
a crown--not a mark of shame, but of distinction ( Isaiah 62:3 ).
37. A good conscience imparts a princely dignity before man and free assurance in approaching God. This can be realized, not in Job's way ( Job 42:5 Job 42:6 ); but only through Jesus Christ ( Hebrews 10:22 ).
38. Personification. The complaints of the unjustly ousted proprietors are transferred to the lands themselves ( Job 31:20 , Genesis 4:10 , Habakkuk 2:11 ). If I have unjustly acquired lands ( Job 24:2 , Isaiah 5:8 ).
furrows--The specification of these makes it likely, he implies in this, "If I paid not the laborer for tillage"; as Job 31:39 , "If I paid him not for gathering in the fruits." Thus of the four clauses in Job 31:38 Job 31:39 , the first refers to the same subject as the fourth, the second is connected with the third by introverted parallelism. Compare James 5:4 , which plainly alludes to this passage: compare "Lord of Sabaoth" with Job 31:26 here.
39. lose . . . life--not literally, but "harassed to death"; until he gave me up his land gratis [MAURER]; as in Judges 16:16 ; "suffered him to languish" by taking away his means of living [UMBREIT] ( 1 Kings 21:19 ).
40. thistles--or brambles, thorns.
cockle--literally, "noxious weeds."
The words . . . ended--that is, in the controversy with the friends. He spoke in the book afterwards, but not to them. At Job 31:37 would be the regular conclusion in strict art. But Job 31:38-40 are naturally added by one whose mind in agitation recurs to its sense of innocence, even after it has come to the usual stopping point; this takes away the appearance of rhetorical artifice. Hence the transposition by EICHORN of Job 31:38-40 to follow Job 31:25 is quite unwarranted.
