It seems we have two throbbers in the main window now. One on the tabs that is currently loading and one on the main toolbar. I suggest that the one on the tab is just enough by default.

Patch v1
This is my first run at it. Removes the throbber in Windows 7 as expected. Haven't seen what it looks like in OSX yet.
Seems to work fine on Linux. I can test on OSX tomorrow.
And works fine on OSX as expected.

Review of attachment 587728 [details] [diff] [review]:
The code seems fine, so r=me, but...
It didn't actually remove the throbber from my existing profile, which I think we want to do, so I'm going to have to say ui-r-.
Hm. So how do we go about disqualifying the throbber in the current toolbars, while keeping it in the customize dialog? I wonder if this is another case where the migrateUI code I wrote would come in handy.

Patch v2
Ok, this patch uses our fancy new migrateUI function to remove the throbber from the menubar in Linux and Windows, and from the mail-bar3 in OSX.

Hey Sid,
Remember migrateUI? Looks like we've got a chance to use it again. Or is there a better way to put old default toolbar items out to pasture?
Anyhow, I hope you've got some cycles to take a peek at this.

Patch v3
Thanks for the review, Sid!
Ok, I've moved the migration for V1 into V2 as suggested, and updated the tests. I've changed enough, that I think it warrants a second go-over. I hope that's alright.
Sid has suggested that we also remove the throbber from the customize dialog, as a way of reducing our redundancy, and the number of knobs and dials that TB has. Thoughts?
(As per IRC, I think we should leave it in the customization dialog, at least until we get stats on whether the number of people who use it is less than the amount of problems it causes us.)
Even Firefox leaves their throbber in the customize dialog, so I think we may as well follow suit.

Romans 7:7 What shall we say then ? Is the Law sin ? May it never be! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, "YOU SHALL NOT COVET." (NASB: Lockman)
Greek: Ti oun eroumen? (1PFAI) ho nomos hamartia? me genoito; (3SAMO) alla ten hamartian ouk egnon (1SAAI) ei me dia nomou, ten te gar epithumian ouk edein (RAI) ei me o nomos elegen, (3SIAI) ouk epithumeseis. (2SFAI)
Analyzed Literal: What then will we say? [Is] the Law sin? Absolutely not! _But_ I did not know sin except through [the] Law. For also I had not known covetousness unless the Law had said, "You will not covet." [Ex 20:17; Deut 5:21]
Amplified: What then do we conclude? Is the Law identical with sin? Certainly not! Nevertheless, if it had not been for the Law, I should not have recognized sin or have known its meaning. [For instance] I would not have known about covetousness [would have had no consciousness of sin or sense of guilt] if the Law had not [repeatedly] said, You shall not covet and have an evil desire [for one thing and another].(1) (Amplified Bible - Lockman)
BBE: What then is to be said? is the law sin? in no way. But I would not have had knowledge of sin but for the law: for I would not have been conscious of desire if the law had not said, You may not have a desire for what is another's.
CEV: Does this mean that the Law is sinful? Certainly not! But if it had not been for the Law, I would not have known what sin is really like. For example, I would not have known what it means to want something that belongs to someone else, unless the Law had told me not to do that. (CEV)
ESV: What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, "You shall not covet." (ESV)
GWT: What should we say, then? Are Moses' laws sinful? That's unthinkable! In fact, I wouldn't have recognized sin if those laws hadn't shown it to me. For example, I wouldn't have known that some desires are sinful if Moses' Teachings hadn't said, "Never have wrong desires." (GWT)
Montgomery: What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? Certainly not. On the contrary I should not have become acquainted with sin had it not been for the Law; for except the Law had repeatedly said, "Thou shalt not lust," I should never have known the sin of lust.
NCV: You might think I am saying that sin and the law are the same thing. That is not true. But the law was the only way I could learn what sin meant. I would never have known what it means to want to take something belonging to someone else if the law had not said, "You must not want to take your neighbor's things." (NCV)
NET: What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! Certainly, I would not have known sin except through the law. For indeed I would not have known what it means to desire something belonging to someone else if the law had not said, "Do not covet." (NET Bible)
NAB: What then can we say? That the law is sin? Of course not! Yet I did not know sin except through the law, and I did not know what it is to covet except that the law said, You shall not covet.
NIV: What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, "Do not covet." (NIV - IBS)
NKJV: What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, "You shall not covet."[1]
NLT: Well then, am I suggesting that the law of God is evil? Of course not! The law is not sinful, but it was the law that showed me my sin. I would never have known that coveting is wrong if the law had not said, "Do not covet." (NLT - Tyndale House)
Phillips: It now begins to look as if sin and the Law were very much the same thing - can this be a fact? Of course it cannot. But it must in fairness be admitted that I should never have had sin brought home to me but for the Law. For example, I should never have felt guilty of the sin of coveting if I had not heard the Law saying 'You shall not covet'. (Phillips: Touchstone)
Weymouth: What follows? Is the Law itself a sinful thing? No, indeed; on the contrary, unless I had been taught by the Law, I should have known nothing of sin as sin. For instance, I should not have known what covetousness is, if the Law had not repeatedly said, "THOU SHALT NOT COVET."
Wuest: What therefore shall we say? The law, is it sin? Away with the thought. Certainly I did not come into an experiential knowledge of sin except through the instrumentality of law, for I had not known evil desire except that the law kept on saying, You shall not desire evil. (Eerdmans)
Young's Literal: What, then, shall we say? the law is sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said:

WHAT SHALL WE SAY THEN "IS THE LAW SIN?" - MAY IT NEVER BE: Ti oun eroumen (1PFAI) ho nomos hamartia me genoito (3SAMO): (Ro 3:5; 4:1; 6:15) (Ro 7:8,11,13; 1Co 15:56)
Paul anticipates a question that might arise concerning the Law - Is it sin? Did it miss the mark so to speak? He answers without taking a breath "Absolutely not! Away with such a thought!" Quite to the contrary, the Law is the means by which sin is made known!
Barnes - The objection which is here urged is one that would very naturally rise, and which we may suppose would be urged with no slight indignation. The Jew would ask, "Are we then to suppose that the holy law of God is not only insufficient to sanctify us, but that it is the mere occasion of increased sin? Is its tendency to produce sinful passions, and to make men worse than they were before?" To this objection the apostle replies with great wisdom, by showing that the evil was not in the law, but in man; that though these effects often followed, yet that the law itself was good and pure. (Albert Barnes. Barnes NT Commentary)
Ironside - The law must simply be recognized as having a special ministry but not as the rule of the new life. It is a great detector of sin. Paul could say, "I had not known sin, but by the law." That is, he had not detected the evil nature within - so correct was his outward deportment - had not the law said, "Thou shalt not covet." The sin nature rebelled against this and brought out all manner of covetousness, or unsatisfied desire in him. (Commentary on Romans).
Wuest (he interprets Romans 7 as speaking of Paul's experience as a believer) introduces this section writing that "With this verse, we come to a new division of the subject under discussion. In 7:1-6, Paul has shown that the believer is not under law. In Romans 7:7-13, he shows that a believer putting himself under law, thus failing to avail himself of the resources of grace, is a defeated Christian (here he recounts his own experience as a Christian before he came into the knowledge of Romans 6); and in 7:14-25, he teaches that while the law incites this Christian to more sin, yet the law is not responsible for that sin, but his evil nature, which only can be conquered as the believer cries, "Who shall deliver me?" and thus looks away from himself and self-dependence to the Lord Jesus. (Wuest, K. S. Wuest's Word Studies from the Greek New Testament: Eerdmans)
The law is like a x-ray machine and reveals plainly what might have always been there, but hidden before; and you can't blame a x-ray for what it exposes. The law sets the "speed limit" so we know if we are going too fast; we might never know that we are sinning in many areas (such as covetousness) if the law did not spell this out to us specifically.
Paul's aim in [Ro 7:7-25] is to support the teaching, up to this point in the book, that the Law of Moses - or the law written on the heart of all men - is powerless to declare us righteous before God and powerless to make us righteous before God (Ro 3:19, 20, 28-see notes Ro 3:19; 20, 28). We are sinners by nature (Ro 5:12-note) and by action. Therefore the Law condemns us and stirs up rebellion within us. It doesn't justify and it doesn't sanctify.
God, in his mercy, has made His righteousness available for us another way, apart from the Law (Ro 3:21-note), namely through Jesus Christ His Son. So to be declared righteous (to be justified) we must turn from our law-keeping to Christ's law-keeping. We must receive Christ as our treasure, and be declared righteous because of our UNION with Him by faith (Ro 6;3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7:4, 8:1, 2, 3, 4-see notes Ro 6:3; 6:4; 6:5; 6:6; 6:7; 7:4; 7:5; 7:6; 8:1; 8:2; 8:3; 8:4), not because of any righteousness in us. That's how we are declared perfectly righteous before God.
Then to become progressively righteous (be sanctified) we must also turn from law-keeping, for as Paul says in [Ro 7:4-note], we have died to the Law and are united with Christ so that we might bear fruit for God. So justification is by faith in union with Christ, and sanctification is by faith in union with Christ. And both involve turning away from the Law as the decisive means of getting right with God and becoming like God (2Pe 1:4-note).
His reader might think that since the effect of the Law was to arouse the sinful passions, that the Law itself was SIN. Paul wanted to make certain his readers did not conclude that the law itself was SIN and it brings this answer to a climax in characterizing the Law in (Ro 7:12-note) "holy and righteous and good".
Paul addresses the certain objection of at least some of his readers. The objection is that all this teaching on justification by faith and sanctification by faith - all this talk about getting right with God "apart from works of the law" (Ro 3:21-note) and bearing fruit for God by "dying to the law" really undermines the law and makes it sinful and deadly. That's the objection. Paul had already faced it back in Ro 3:31- note where he said,
Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law. (Ro 3:31-note)
Now in [Ro 7:7] he asks, "What shall we say then? Is the Law sin?" And in [Ro 7:13] he asks, "Did that which is good become a cause of death for me?" You see that Paul is answering an objection: Paul, you are saying that the law of God is sinful and poisonous. If that is true, then Paul's doctrine is false. So he defends and supports his doctrine of justification by faith and sanctification by faith by arguing that the Law is holy, just, good, and spiritual. It is powerless to justify and sanctify not because it is sinful and deadly, but because I am sinful and my sin is deadly. Therefore this objection to his teaching on justification by faith and sanctification by faith falls to the ground. And the glorious truth of the gospel stands. That's the point of Romans 7.
"Is the law sin? God forbid" Augustine placed the truth in a clear light when he wrote, "The law is not at fault, but our evil and wicked nature; even as a heap of lime is still and quiet until water is poured on it, but then it begins to smoke and burn, not from the fault of the water, but from the nature of the lime which will not endure it."
ON THE CONTRARY, I WOULD NOT HAVE COME TO KNOW SIN EXCEPT THROUGH THE LAW: alla ten hamartian ouk egnon (1SAAI) ei me dia nomou: (Ro 7:5; 3:20; Ps 19:7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12; 119:96)
Know (1097)(ginosko English derivatives - prognosis, gnostic, Gnosticism) involves experiential knowledge, not merely the accumulation of known facts. The basic meaning of ginosko is to know by experience. Knowledge possessed through the intellectual process of learning is one thing. Knowledge gained by experience, by an active relationship between the one who knows and the person or thing known, is far superior to the former. Ginosko describes the latter quality of knowledge.
The law reveals the divine standard, and as believers compare themselves against that standard, they can accurately identify sin, which is the failure to meet the standard. Paul uses the personal pronoun "I" throughout the rest of the chapter, and many think this refers to his own experience as an example of what is true of unredeemed mankind (Ro 7:7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) and true of Christians (Romans 7:13-25) but this is by no means agreed to by all observers.
Through the Law - The instrument by which the real truth about sin becomes known is the Law.
S Lewis Johnson explains it this way - God gave Israel the Mosaic Law with its commandments and ordinances since the Abrahamic Covenant promises did not lay much stress on sin (cf. Ge 12:1, 2, 3). It was necessary for the education of the nation that they be taught their sinful nature, for only in this way would they be likely to respond to the ministry of the Messiah who was to come. In this sense the giving of the Law of Moses was an act of grace on the part of the Lord… (Johnson adds) The giving of the commandment in Genesis 2:16, 17 made it possible for Satan to attack the woman and the man in the Garden of Eden.
Denney comments that this verse suggests that "The desire for what is forbidden is the first conscious form of sin… He, Paul, says that the consciousness of sin awoke in him in the shape of a conflict with a prohibitive law."
John Piper - O the perils of not knowing our sin! There is a great sadness that comes from not being saddened by knowing our sin. There is a great pain that comes to the soul and to the marriage and to the family and to the church and to the world from not tasting the pain of knowing our sin. There is a great self-destruction that comes from not experiencing the self-devastation of knowing our sin. There is an eternal loss that comes from not losing our pride in the knowledge of our sin. If there is any hope and any faith and any joy and peace any love, it will come from knowing our sin. So get to know your sin! (The Importance of Knowing Our Sin)
Oswald Chambers - Once conscience begins to be aroused it is aroused more and more till it reaches the terrible conviction that I am responsible before God for the breaking of His law; I know that God cannot forgive me and remain God; if He did I should have a clearer sense of justice than He has. There is nothing in my spirit to deliver me from sin, I am powerless—"sold under sin." Conviction of sin brings a man to this hopeless, helpless condition; until he gets there the Cross of Christ has no meaning for him. It is of the mercy of God that no man is convicted of sin before he is born again; we are convicted of sins in order to be born again, then the indwelling Holy Spirit convicts us of sin. If God gave us conviction of sin apart from a knowledge of His Redemption, we would be driven insane. When conviction of what sin is in the sight of God comes home to me, language cannot support the strain of the verbal expression of its enormity; the only word that expresses it is "Calvary." If I see sin apart from the Cross, suicide seems the only fool's way out. (Chambers, O: God's Workmanship. Hants UK: Marshall, Morgan and Scott)
FOR I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT COVETING IF THE LAW HAD NOT SAID "YOU SHALL NOT COVET: ten te gar epithumian ouk edein (1SPluRAI) ei me o nomos elegen (3SIAI): ouk epithumeseis (2SFAI): (Ro 13:9; Ge 3:6; Ex 20:17; Dt 5:21; Josh 7:21; 2Sa 11:2; 1Ki 21:1, 2, 3, 4; Mic 2:2; Mt 5:28; Lk 12:15; Acts 20:33; Eph 5:3; Col 3:5; 1Jn 2:15,16)
Haddon Robinson defined coveting - Covetousness is simply craving more of what you have enough of already.
You shall not covet - Quoted from Exodus 20:17
"You shall not covet (Hebrew = chamad = desire, take pleasure or delight in; Lxx = epithumeo = have a strong impulse toward in sense of an unrestricted desire for a forbidden person) your neighbor's house; you shall not covet (Hebrew = chamad = desire, take pleasure or delight in; Lxx = epithumeo = have a strong impulse toward in sense of an unrestricted desire for a forbidden person) your neighbor's wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor." (cf Deut 5:21)
Most of us experience this "revelation" every day if we drive a car, because we are constantly confronted with Speed Limit signs which themselves are not sinful but do specify the limits of sin.
Wiersbe has an interesting illustration of the effect of the Law noting that "Something in human nature wants to rebel whenever a law is given. I was standing in Lincoln Park in Chicago, looking at the newly painted benches; and I noticed a sign on each bench: "Do Not Touch." As I watched, I saw numbers of people deliberately reach out and touch the wet paint! Why? Because the sign told them not to! Instruct a child not to go near the water, and that is the very thing he will do! Why? "Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be" (Ro 8:7- note). (Wiersbe, W: Bible Exposition Commentary. 1989. Victor)
There apparently did come a time when Paul knew that coveting was sin. C H Spurgeon suggests when that point may have occurred writing…
It strikes me that when Paul was struck down from his horse on his way to Damascus, the first thought that came to him was, 'this Jesus Whom I have been persecuting, is after all the Messiah and Lord of all. Oh, horror of horrors, I have ignorantly warred against Him. He is Jesus, the Savior who saves from sins; but what are my sins? Wherein have I offended against the law?' In his lonely blindness his mind involuntarily ran over the ten commandments; and as he considered each one of them with his poor half-enlightened judgment, he cried to himself, 'I have not broken that! I have not broken that! I have not broken that!,' till at last he came to that command, 'Thou shalt not covet,' and in a moment, as though a lightning flash had cut in twain the solid darkness of his spirit, he saw his sin, and confessed that he had been guilty of inordinate desires. He had not known lust if the law had not said 'thou shalt not covet'. That discovery unveiled all the rest of his sins, the proud Pharisee became a humble penitent, and he who thought himself blameless cried out, I am the chief of sinners.'
Ray Stedman has a nice illustration of the power of the LAW to AWAKEN the sleeping giant, the sin which still inhabits our physical bodies and will until the day we are glorified. Stedman writes…
"I was in the Colorado Rockies this past week. A man met me to take me into the mountains for a conference. When I came out to the curb, he was waiting in his new, powerful, shiny Lincoln Continental. I got into the car and expected him to turn on the ignition. But to my amazement, he started driving without turning on the engine -- or at least that's how it seemed to me. I suddenly realized that the engine had been running all the time. It was so quiet that I hadn't heard it. As we moved up into the Rockies, the power of that engine became manifest. We traveled up the steep grades in those great mountains without difficulty because of the power released by the touch on the accelerator. Now, that is something like what Paul is describing here. SIN LIES SILENT WITHIN US. WE DO NOT EVEN KNOW IT IS THERE. We think we have got hold of life in such a way that we can handle it without difficulty. We are SELF-CONFIDENT because we have never really been exposed to the situation that puts pressure upon us -- we never have to make a decision against the pressure on the basis of the commandment of the Law "Thou shalt not… " But when that happens, we suddenly discover all kinds of desires are awakened within us. WE FIND OURSELVES FILLED WITH ATTITUDES THAT ALMOST SHOCK US -- unloving, bitter, resentful thoughts, murderous attitudes -- we would like to get hold of somebody and kill him, if we could. Lustful feelings that we never dreamed were there surface and we find that we would love to indulge in them if only we had the opportunity. We find ourselves awakened to these desires. AS THE GREAT ENGINE SURGES INTO LIFE AT THE TOUCH OF THE ACCELERATOR, so THIS POWERFUL, IDLING BEAST within us called SIN SPRINGS INTO LIFE as the LAW comes home to us. WE DISCOVER SOMETHING THAT WE NEVER KNEW WAS THERE BEFORE." (Read the full sermon The Continuing Struggle) (All caps added for effect)
><> ><> ><>
Have you ever heard of the "Toddler's Creed"? Then read the following devotional from Our Daily Bread (October 27, 2005)…
Elisa Morgan, president of MOPS International (Mothers Of Pre-Schoolers), shared this insight into a child's view of the world:
Toddler's Creed
If I want it, it's mine.
If I give it to you and change my mind later, it's mine.
If I can take it away from you, it's mine.
If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
If it's mine, it will never belong to anyone else, no matter what.
If we are building something together, all the pieces are mine.
If it looks just like mine, it is mine.
Anyone who has ever known a toddler knows the truth of that creed. We expect to see this trait in toddlers, but we despise it in adults. It is called covetousness.
The apostle Paul, who had led an outwardly religious life before he became a follower of Jesus, wrestled with that sin (Ro 7:7). After carefully studying the law, he recognized covetousness for what it was. But God in His grace changed Paul. Instead of being a coveting, grasping man, he became a truly generous person (Acts 20:33-35). Generosity may be the acid test of whether or not we are still spiritual toddlers.

Gratefulness overcomes selfishness.
Romans 7:8 But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead. (NASB: Lockman)

Amplified: But sin, finding opportunity in the commandment [to express itself], got a hold on me and aroused and stimulated all kinds of forbidden desires (lust, covetousness). For without the Law sin is dead [the sense of it is inactive and a lifeless thing]. (Amplified Bible - Lockman)
NLT: But sin took advantage of this law and aroused all kinds of forbidden desires within me! If there were no law, sin would not have that power. (NLT - Tyndale House)
Phillips: But the sin in me, finding in the commandment an opportunity to express itself, stimulated all my covetous desires. For sin, in the absence of the Law, has no chance to function technically as "sin". (Phillips: Touchstone)
Wuest: But the sinful nature, using the commandment as a fulcrum, brought about in me every kind of evil craving. For without law, the sinful nature was dead. (Eerdmans)
Young's Literal: But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead.
BUT SIN TAKING (seizing the) OPPORTUNITY THROUGH THE COMMANDMENT: aphormen de labousa (AAPFSN) e hamartia dia tes entoles: (Ro 7:11,13,17; 4:15; 5:20)
Sin (266) (hamartia) is literally the sin (the definite article precedes "sin" in Greek) which in Romans 6 represents a moral principle or force which is personified as an evil king who constantly seeks to enslave and to rule those who are subject to its power (all unregenerate mankind).
Hodge explains sin this way - By sin, in this case, cannot be understood acts of sin. It must mean indwelling sin, or corruption of nature, sin as the principle or source of action, and not as an act. There is a principle of sin, a corruption of nature which lies behind all conscious voluntary exercises, to which they owe their origin. (Hodge, C. Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans, 1835)
But sin taking opportunity - S Lewis Johnson has an interesting description ow what transpired writing that…
Wuest offers an interesting explanation of how sin works with the Law - Sin is here the evil nature (Ed: That lives inside every human, even redeemed men and women). Without the incitement produced by the law, the evil nature was relatively dormant. A fulcrum is an instrument in the form of a pole or long stick, which when applied beneath an object, will pry that object loose from its position. Just so, the sinful nature uses the law as a fulcrum by which to pry itself loose from its relative inactivity into activity. (Wuest, K. S. Wuest's Word Studies from the Greek New Testament: Eerdmans)
Opportunity (874) (aphorme from apó = from + horme = has various senses denoting the start of a rapid movement, a rushing on, a setting into rapid motion) means to make a start from a place. It describes a starting point, an occasion, an opportunity or a circumstance from which another action becomes possible. Aphorme is a place from which a movement or an attack can be made.
In context aphorme describes a starting point or base of operations for an expedition. It was frequently used to denote a "base of operations" in war. Paul is saying that the commandment provided sin with a base of operations, an attack upon the soul. 22.214.171.124. It's hard fighting an enemy on their soil…but even harder to fight against hidden terrorist in our own country! And such is sin!
Vincent has an example of the use of aphorme in secular Greek writing "The Lacedaemonians agreed that Peloponnesus would be aphormen hikanen or a good base of operations (Thucydides, i., 90). Thus (aphorme means), the origin, cause, occasion, or pretext of a thing; the means with which one begins. Generally, resources, as means of war, capital in business. Here the law is represented as furnishing sin with the material or ground of assault, "the fulcrum for the energy of the evil principle." Sin took the law as a base of operations.
A T Robertson writes that aphorme here in Romans 7:8 describes "a starting place from which to rush into acts of sin, excuses for doing what they want to do. Just so drinking men use the prohibition laws as occasions for violating them. "
Sin uses the specific requirements of the law as a base of operation from which to launch its evil work. Confronted by God's law, the sinner's rebellious nature finds the forbidden thing more attractive, not because it is inherently attractive, but because it furnishes an opportunity to assert one's self-will.
In other words, law was not intended to be the means by which sin would launch its attack, but sin took advantage of this opportunity to attack man.
Aphorme is used 7 times in the NT…
Barnes adds that aphorme "properly denotes any material, or preparation for accomplishing anything; then any opportunity, occasion, etc. of doing it. Here it means that the Law was the exciting cause of sin; or was what called the sinful principle of the heart into exercise. But for this, the effect here described would not have existed. Thus, we say that a tempting object of desire presented is the exciting cause of covetousness. Thus, an object of ambition is the exciting cause of the principle of ambition. Thus, the presentation of wealth, or of advantages possessed by others which we have not, may excite covetousness or envy. Thus, the fruit presented to Eve was the exciting cause of sin; the wedge of gold to Achan excited his covetousness. Had not these objects been presented, the evil principles of the heart might have slumbered, and never have been called forth. And hence, no one understand the full force of their native propensities until some object is presented that calls them forth into decided action. (Ed note: Dearly beloved, can you not identify with this analysis?) The occasion which called these forth in the mind of Paul was the Law crossing his path, and irritating and exciting the native strong inclinations of the mind."
PRODUCED IN ME COVETING OF EVERY KIND: kateirgasato (3SAMI) en hemoi pasan epithumian: (Jas 1:14,15)
Produced in me - The command not to lust actually accomplished the goal of making me lust even more!
Tholuck writes that "To man everything forbidden appears as a desirable blessing; but yet, as it is forbidden, he feels that his freedom is limited, and now his lust rages more violently, like the waves against the dyke
Produced (2716) (katergazomai from katá = down or here as an intensifying preposition + ergázomai = to work or to engage in an activity involving considerable expenditure of effort) (Click word study of katergazomai) means to work out fully and so to accomplish or finish a task. It means to work to bring something to fulfillment or completion so that it results in success.
Katergazomai means to operate in a powerful and efficacious manner. The idea is to do it with thoroughness and thus achieve an end or come to a conclusion. As used in this context katergazomai means to to work out or produce coveting as the accomplished goal of Sin. Surely you must see that in light of this truth, Sin is never your friend dear believer. Don't let it dupe you!
Coveting (Lusts) (1939) (epithumia from epi = at, toward {the preposition "epi-" in the compound is directive conveying the picture of "having one's passion toward" } + thumos = passion. The root verb epithumeo = set heart upon) (Click in depth study) Epithumia in itself is a neutral term denoting the presence of strong desires or impulses, longings or passionate craving (whether it is good or evil is determined by the context) directed toward an object.
Epithumia is used in a good sense referring to the natural, legitimate and necessary God given desires (eg, hunger, thirst, sex, etc) which are fulfilled in a God honoring way. Most often epithumia in the NT describes strong desires which are perverted and unrestrained and which originate from our SIN (flesh) nature, which is corrupt and fallen.
Coveting (lusts) occurs in our mind and is not the physical action per se although they may (and frequently do) lead to physical actions. Thus James warns us of the evil character of "lusts" writing that "each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death." (Jas 1:14, 15)
Wayne Barber - What did the sin produce in Paul? "Coveting of every kind." This is a word that means "to desire greatly, to lust after." These are the inordinate desires that cause us to intensely focus on the wrong things, obsessed with having them. Paul said, "I got up and decided not to covet, but my rebellious flesh took over and caused me to covet in ways that I did not think possible." (Romans 7:7-13: Frustration… Under Law)
Hiebert has an interesting note that the "degeneration in the meaning of the term (epithumia from God given desires to perverted desires) is a revealing commentary on human nature. Left to himself, instead of gaining mastery over his base desires and steadfastly adhering to the good, the individual is characteristically overcome by his evil cravings, so that they become the dominating force of his life." (Hiebert, D. Edmond: 1 Peter. Page 94. Moody)
The command not to lust made Paul lust even more! Is this the fault of the Law? Clearly not. The fault lies in every man's fallen flesh nature inherited from Adam.
This truth parallels (Ro 5:20-note) explaining how where Law came in, transgression increases. He coveted before he was aware of the Law but when he heard "Thou shalt not covet" it stimulated an increase in coveting.
He found himself awakened to this commandment and discovered that he was coveting, no matter where he turned. When the Law came, he found himself aroused by it and brought under its power. It precipitated an orgy of desire. Many of us have felt this same way.
Every kind (3956) (pas - all without exception) and thus it was not confined to one single desire, but extended to everything which the Law declared to be wrong.
FOR APART FROM THE LAW SIN IS DEAD: choris gar nomou hamartia nekra: (Ro 4:15; Jn 15:22,24; 1Cor 15:56)
See discussion of related topics - the Sin; Purpose of the Law
Apart from (5565)(choris) as an adverb it means separately or by itself but here is used more as a preposition and signifies separate from or independent of the Law sin in a relative sense had no power.
Barnes writes about sin - Sin here is personified. It means not a real entity; not a physical subsistence; not something independent of the mind, having a separate existence, and lodged in the soul; but it means the corrupt passions, inclinations, and desires of the mind itself. Thus we say that lust burns, and ambition rages, and envy corrodes the mind, without meaning that lust, ambition, or envy are any independent physical subsistences; but meaning that the mind that is ambitious, or envious, is thus excited. (Barnes NT Commentary)
Dead (3498) (nekros) can mean physically dead but is used figuratively in this verse. In this context, dead does not mean nonexistent (Ro 5:13) but dormant. The idea is not nonexistent but not fully perceived. When the law comes, sin becomes fully active and exerts its power over the sinner. Until the law was revealed, sin was unknown or unrevealed (Ro 5:14). Sin never really appeared to be what it is until the law brought it to light through definition.
Paul is not saying that a person is without sin when there is no Law, but is emphasizing that the power of sin is not aroused to activity when there is no law. In other words, without a commandment the sinfulness of sin is not realized.
Jameison says that dead means "the sinful principle of our nature lies so dormant, so torpid, that its virulence and power are unknown, and to our feeling it is as good as "dead."
Cranfield explains that "sin is indeed present, but it is inactive--or at least relatively so."
Harry Ironside explains that sin is dead in the sense that it is "inert and unrecognized. There were sins even before the law was given, but sin - the nature - was not recognized until the law provoked it." (Commentary on Romans)
Middletown Bible - For without the law (before the commandment came-Ro 7:9) sin was dead (inactive, lifeless, dormant, showing little activity)." Without the mirror the person is not very much aware of his dirty face but once the mirror comes along that dirt just seems to jump to life! "Wow, look at that dirt!" It was there all the time but the mirror made him aware of it! (cp Jas 1:23, 24, 25-note) Think of a snake coiled up and sleeping in the sun. It is inactive and almost seems dead. But if you come along and poke it and disturb it that snake will really come alive (be aroused to activity - cp Ro 7:5-note). This is what the law does to sin! Illustration: Think of the Second Commandment in Exodus 20:4. This command is holy and just and good. There is nothing wrong with it. But when sinful man is confronted with a holy command, what does he naturally do? He rebels and revolts against it! God says THOU SHALT and the rebel answers I WILL NOT! God says THOU SHALT NOT and the rebel answers I MOST CERTAINLY WILL! Thus we have the tragic account of Exodus 32:7,8. The sin of idolatry was always in their hearts but the commandment aroused it. The sin of idolatry was dead and inactive and dormant before the commandment was given. They did not make golden calves as a habit before this time. The law arouses and incites sin. Can we blame the Second Commandment for the golden calf? God forbid! (Romans chapter 7)
Newell writes that…

Did the Prohibition Act stop drinking? No, in many ways it made drinking more attractive to people. Once God draws a boundary for us, we are immediately enticed to cross that boundary - which is no fault of God or His boundary, but of our sinful hearts.

In a devotional from Our Daily Bread we read the following illustration…
Romans 7:9 I was once alive apart from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin became alive and I died; NASB: Lockman)
Greek: ego de ezon (1SIAI) choris nomou pote; elthouses (AAPFSG) de tes entoles e hamartia anezesen, (3SAAI)
Amplified: Once I was alive, but quite apart from and unconscious of the Law. But when the commandment came, sin lived again and I died (was sentenced by the Law to death). (Amplified Bible - Lockman)
NLT: I felt fine when I did not understand what the law demanded. But when I learned the truth, I realized I had broken the law and was a sinner, doomed to die. (NLT - Tyndale House)
Phillips: As long, then, as I was without the Law I was, spiritually speaking, alive. (Phillips: Touchstone)
Wuest: But I was alive without law aforetime. But the commandment having come, the sinful nature regained its strength and vigor, and I died. (Eerdmans)
Young's Literal: And I was once alive apart from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died;
AND I WAS ONCE ALIVE APART FROM THE LAW: ego de ezon (1SIAI) choris nomou pote: (Mt 19:20; Lk 10:25, 26, 27, 28, 29; 15:29; 18:9, 10, 11, 12,21; Phil 3:5,6) (Mt 5:21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26; 15:4, 5, 6; Mk 7:8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
We see repeatedly that one of the powerful effects of the Law is to stir up sin, causing it to become "active" or "energized!" For example, in 1Cor 15:56 Paul writes "The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law." Why is the law the power of sin? Because Law stirs up sin. And earlier in Ro 7:5 we read that "while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions (literally = passions of the sin), which were aroused by the Law, were at work (energeo - imperfect tense) in the members of our body to bear fruit for death." The practical point for believers is to remember that the moment we put ourselves under some legal constrain (e.g., I won't do this or I won't do that), we are in effect stirring up the sin and will reap the opposite effect that we desired to achieve (victory of this or that sin). Beloved, yes, we must kill sin lest it be killing us, but we cannot do that in our natural strength. We need to renounce our natural self-sufficiency or self-reliance and rely on the supernatural sufficiency of the Holy Spirit to put that sin to death (Ro 8:13-note).
I (ego) - The debate goes on about who "I" is but in its most plain literal sense it certainly could refer to Paul's own experience. On the other hand these timeless truths obviously describe of all who are dead in their trespasses and sins, and who are depending on their own righteousness.
Once (4218) (pote) when speaking of the past signifies once or at some time.
Alive (2198)(zoe) means physically alive and in this context he felt "spiritually healthy." In other words, he was experiencing no dread of punishment and harbored no painful conscientiousness of sin.
Middletown Bible on "once alive apart from the law" - undisturbed, unconvicted, not realizing the great death sentence that he was under. Everything seemed fine (like the person with the dirty face who has not yet looked into the mirror. Everything seems fine but it is not fine. The problem is there even though I don't realize it yet). (Romans chapter 7)
Barnes explains alive - This is opposed to what he immediately adds respecting another state, in which he was when he died. It must mean, therefore, that he had a certain kind of peace; he deemed himself secure; he was free from the convictions of conscience and the agitations of alarm. The state to which he refers here must be doubtless that to which he himself elsewhere alludes, when he deemed himself to be righteous, depending on his own works, and esteeming himself to be blameless, Php 3:4, 5, 6 (see below) Acts 23:1; 26:4,5. It means, that he was then free from those agitations and alarms which he afterwards experienced when he was brought under conviction for sin. At that time, though he had the law, and was attempting to obey it, yet he was unacquainted with its spiritual and holy nature. He aimed at external conformity. Its claims on the heart were unfelt. This is the condition of every self-confident sinner, and of every one who is unawakened. (Barnes NT Commentary)
Apart from (5565)(choris) as an adverb it means separately or by itself but here is used more as a preposition and signifies separate from or independent of the Law, before the Law was applied to his heart in its spiritual meaning and with convicting power.
I felt "fine" until the Law had its effect on me. Not ignorance of or lack of concern for the law (Php 3:6 [note]), but a purely external, imperfect conception of it. I had no dread of punishment, no painful conscientiousness (or consciousness) 0f sin.
The excellent Lutheran commentator Lenski writes that…
The thought is that life without the law allowed the knowledge of sin to lie dormant (Romans 7:9). But when the law came, sin came to life in clear definition and understanding. Reference may be to the time either before a Jewish boy's bar mitzvah or before the "I"s conversion, when the true rigor of the law became clear.
The Sermon on the Mount in a similar way makes even the most self righteous Pharisee in the audience quiver with fear as Jesus takes the true meaning of the Law from its perceived external role to its role in judging the thoughts and intentions of one's heart attitudes. (cp Mt 5:28, 20, 21, 22, 23 notes Matthew 5:28, 20; 21; 22; 23).
BUT WHEN THE COMMANDMENT CAME: elthouses (AAPFSG) de tes entoles: (Ro 3:19,20; 10:5; Ps 40:12; Gal 3:10; Jas 2:10,11):
But - always pause to ponder this term of contrast, as it marks a change of direction and you need to ask "What is the change?"
Commandment (1785) (entole from en = in, upon + tello = charge, command) is an order that calls for one to carry out a specific action in thought, word or deed. When the commandment came and said "Don't!", it was if the sinful nature became like a sleeping dog suddenly awakened and ready to attack the intruder.
When he began to understand the true requirements of God's moral law. It was when the law presented itself to his conscience and so broke in upon the supposed state of freedom, and instead imposed its constraints upon the natural tendencies.
Ray Stedman comments (He interprets this section as Paul writing autobiographically of his pre-conversion experience.)
SIN BECAME ALIVE AND I DIED: e hamartia anezesen (3SAAI) ego de apethanon (1SAAI): (Ro 7:21, 22, 23; 8:7) (Ro 7:4,6; 11; 3:20; Gal 2:19)
(The) Sin (266) (hamartia) is literally the sin which in Romans 6 represents a moral principle or force which is personified as an evil king who constantly seeks to enslave and to rule those who are subject to its power (all unregenerate mankind).
Became alive (326) (anazao from ana = again + zao = to live) means literally to live again and is used figuratively and literally (latter only in Rev 20:5 in the KJV - see explanation below).
Paul uses it figuratively in Romans 7 to describe how sin came to life again or sprang into action so to speak. It manifested itself for the evil it really was. The power of sin was revived by the commandment. It lay dormant but the moment the commandment came, Sin recovered its full vigor (uncoiling like a poisonous pit viper) and exerted its nefarious power (biting with a fatal injection of "venom", cp 1Co 15:56). (see related topics the Sin; Purpose of the Law).
I like the HCSB rendering (Ro 7:9HCSB) of "sprang to life" because it gives a vivid picture of the ever ready propensity of sin, crouching like a famished lion, ready to pounce on it's (often deceived because that is what sin does!) victim (cp God's warning to Cain in Ge 4:6-7).
One use of anazao in the KJV means resurrection from the dead, coming alive again from the dead.
Friberg - literally, of the dead become alive again, rise again, return to life; metaphorically, of sin personified revive, become (suddenly) active, spring into life (Ro 7.9); figuratively, of one morally and spiritually dead become alive again, live in a new and different way (Lu 15.24)
There are no uses of anazao in the Septuagint.
The only other NT use of anazao in the Nestle-Aland Greek text (source of the NAS and other modern translations) is to describe the return of the prodigal son
For completeness it should be noted that there are 3 uses in the Textus Receptus (source of the King James).
I died - God's holy law convicts and "slays" the sinner! Paul came to realize that he was a law breaker (not a law keeper, an impossibility - cp Jas 2:10) and came to comprehend his deadness, spiritually, because breakers of the law deserve to die (cp Ga 3:10,13). He also realized that all his "religious" credentials and accomplishments were rubbish even as he later explained to the saints at Philippi testifying that "whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish in order that I may gain Christ." (Php 3:7, 8-note)
He felt within himself the sentence of death, becoming bogged down in hopelessness and despair in contrast to the blithe self-confidence he had had before. This death is entirely unrelated to dying with Christ, that union described in Romans 6. No, this death was not a death to sin but a death because of sin.
If Paul is writing autobiographically, he seems to mean that there was a time when he was living in a state of indifference to the searching demands of the law on the inner man. He was self-deceived as to his own righteousness as reflected in Philippians 3, where he speaks of his pre-conversion days as a Pharisee when he was "blameless" with respect to legalistic righteousness or self-righteousness…
Paul's struggle before and at the time of his conversion was intellectual rather than moral. He was convinced that Jesus could not be the Messiah, for God had permitted him to die as a criminal. His conversion meant a complete reversal in this matter.
Died (599)(apothnesko from apo = marker of dissociation implying a rupture from a former association, separation, departure, cessation + thnesko = die) literally means to die off and can speak of literal physical death (Ro 6:9-note) and figuratively (metaphorically) speaks of a believer's death to sin (Ro 6:2-note,Ro 6:7-note, Ro 6:89-note, Col 3:3-note), self, Satan, the law (Ro 7:6-note, Gal 2:19) and the world (Col 2:20-note, cp Gal 6:14-note where crucified is used instead of died) which came about when Christ was crucified and when by faith we believed in Him and in God's reckoning (a "mysterious" teaching to me) were crucified with Him (Ro 6:6-note).
Paul alludes to the death blow dealt by the law in second Corinthians writing that…
Vine explains I died - That is to say, "became conscious of the sinfulness of sin and realized that I was in a state of separation from God." Separation is the essential feature of death; physical death is the separation of the soul from the body; spiritual death is the separation of the spirit from God. This condition of alienation from God involved the absence of any ability to work righteousness and the realization of condemnation and doom. (Vine, W. Collected writings of W. E. Vine. Nashville: Thomas Nelson)
S Lewis Johnson draws an interesting conclusion - This text proves that spiritual death is not annihilation, because it implies consciousness (i.e., Paul was aware of it). Physical death, confessedly, is not annihilation. It is only a peculiar mode of existence. In 1Co 15:36, and John 12:24, the physical 'death' of the corn of wheat is not the extinction of its substance, but the metamorphosis of it. Spiritual death, in like manner, supposes existence; because it is a vivid and distressing experience. (Romans 7:7-12)

Turn on the news on any given day, and you're likely to hear about the Dow Jones Industrial Average. It is the most frequently checked, and cited, proxy of U.S. economic health. But a lot of people–maybe most–don't even know what it is. It's just the stock prices of 30 big companies, summed up and roughly averaged. That's it.
And what does the daily movement of this number have to do with the lives of most Americans? Not much.
"In 2011, we had days where it would go up several hundred points, and the next day it would go down several hundred points," says John Prestbo, editor and executive director of Dow Jones Indexes. "You can't really argue that the mood and outlook of the entire country was changing that rapidly."
Prestbo himself doesn't even check the Dow every day.
He says the Dow Jones Average is great for a very specific purpose: to get a long term sense of how the leading US companies are doing. But its moment-by-moment, even day-by-day movements are meaningless. It wasn't designed to be used that way.
In fact, Charles Dow, who created the Dow Jones Average in 1896, didn't bother to comment on his own metric more than once a month.
So what happened? How did we develop this 24-hour fixation on the Dow? Blame the Panic of 1907.
This was a severe recession. Banks were collapsing. Everyone was trying to make sense of a disastrous economy. They wanted some handy metric that could tell say what each day's news meant.
"So they looked around," Prestbo says, "and they found the Dow Jones Industrial Average. It took on a life of its own, shall we say."
Newspapers started referring to it. Then, during the Great Depression, it became a daily requirement.
Now, of course, we can follow it every second of the day. We are confused and want to know what the latest scary or hopeful economic news means. So, we look around, and there's still this one thing available, it always has an answer for us, even if the answer doesn't actually mean anything.

He thinks she's an annoying know-it-all...
Hugh Prentice has never had patience for dramatic females, and if Lady Sarah Pleinsworth has ever been acquainted with the words shy or retiring, she's long since tossed them out the window. Besides, even if Hugh did grow to enjoy her company, it wouldn't matter. A reckless duel has left this brilliant mathematician with a ruined leg, and now, unable to run, ride, or even waltz, he could never court a woman like Sarah, much less dream of marrying her.
She thinks he's just plain mad.
Sarah has never forgiven Hugh for the duel he fought three years earlier, the one that forced her cousin into exile, nearly destroying her family. But even if she could find a way to forgive him, it wouldn't matter. She doesn't care that his leg is less than perfect, it's his personality she can't abide. But when the pair is forced to spend a week in close company, they discover that first impressions are not always reliable. And when one kiss leads to two, three, and four, the mathematician may lose count, and the lady may, for the first time, find herself speechless.

"Not as great as her others"
This series lacks the fun quippy humor that the authors other books have had. It's pretty standard romantic historical fiction. I had a hard time staying interested long enough to finish the series
"Smythe-Smiths Continued"
Rosalyn Landor provides a fabulous narration. Her interpretations of dialogue and character inflection are spot-on. She captures the nuances of every line.
Hugh and Sarah are equally engaging.
Having actually read the book prior to the audio version's being available, I truly appreciate the depth that well done narration can bring to all aspects of a work.
Julia Quinn's books are not deep, metaphysical works; however, the dialogue, plot twists, and inter-connectedness make reading each book in the series like a visit with a well-loved friend.
This work is best enjoyed as part of the Smythe-Smith series since each book shares characters.
Say something about yourself!
I enjoyed this book very much. Was it the most compelling? No! But, the characters were very matched and I like them both equally. He was a gallant genius and she was a protective sister and friend.
"personality with quips of comic attitude"
Love the characters. Love the uniqueness of their personalities. humorous and firey. narration spot on by ms. landor. great listen
Mary Sweet
"Not my favorite"
I didn't care for this at all. The leading male was whiny and emasculated... I kept hoping for a worthwhile solution to his situation, but it never really came. I also didn't feel the relationship was very convincing.
I love losing myself in books of any kind
"Very cute and deliciously romantic"
I really needed and nice dose of romanticism and humor which Ms Quinn always provides. Good satisfying read!
I enjoy historical, paranormal, and contemporary romance. Also steampunk, sci-fi, fantasy, suspense, and fiction. I'm open to about anything
"I've been waiting!"
I've been waiting for Hugh's story since I met him in the first of the first of the Smyth-Smith Quartet. I fell in love with his stoicism and genius, his darkness that calls for the light that will reveal to him his own worth. Lady Sarah is plain-spoken and forward. Her main goal is to marry in order to avoid yet another horrendous performance in the annual Smyth-Smith musicale. These two should not be attracted, yet... Oh, this was definitely worth the wait and goes on my re listen list.
I am a voracious reader of all fiction genres and poetry. I occasionally venture into humor, history, and science. I loathe self-help books.
"Foolishly Absurd Plot"
I was looking for an uncomplicated, relaxed read: a little mind fluff. This book went beyond fluff into the realm of impossibly ridiculous. The plot climax and the characters' reactions simply were too absurd. The plot turning point ruined the book's two small redeeming assets: a few lines of witty, sly banter and a decent narrator. I didn't listen beyond the point of absurdity.
"Great 3rd book in series."
Slow to get going, but then I started to get into the story. Loved when Sarah confronts Hughes' father. I really enjoy listening to Rosalind Landor, her different voices are excellent. I always know who is speaking.
I have a PhD in American Literature but my love affair with romance novels on audible is going strong.
"Very touching romance in a book that needs editing"
The third in the Smith-Smythe Quartet series, the novel picks up the thread with the story of Hugh Prentice, the wounded party to the duel that sent Daniel into exile in book one. Though Daniel and Hugh were dueling adversaries, the growing friendship between the two is signaled at the end of book two. In this book the wounded Hugh is pulled into the Smith-Smythe circle despite Lady Sara Pleinsworth (Smith-Smythe cousin) and her outspoken animosity to him as the person who has caused her family so much grief. Hugh, however, turns out to be a noble wounded warrior, and the relationship that develops between him and Sara is touching in the extreme. As it happens, Lady Sara sprains her ankle badly, and one of the most endearing scenes is their lovely "walz" with each one leaning on the other to compensate for their "lameness." The author continues to portray this growing romance with compassion.
My one complaint, and it's not a small one, is when needless complexity and rather silly permutations of the central "problem" and its resolution go on forever. Judicious editing would make the farfetched scenario bearable and move the story along. It's enough to throw up one's hands, but I still recommend the book as the developing relationship between Hugh and Sara is worth the credit. Skim through the scenes with Hugh's father at the end, but don't miss how Sara manages to save the story from becoming unbelievable and silly by turning the problem upside-down.
"I love the Quartet"
To finally getting a story of Hugh of course! And Sarah. Quartet is even better than Bridgertons, at least I like them better
ehrm, everything
As always anything where lady D. is.
Yes and I did!
I can not believe there is only one left to come, I hope JQ will reconsider and write more on this family. Love Penelope's sisters, I am sure they could have some fun stories in them
"Good listen"
Like this narrators voice and style.
A sweet and just outlandish enough tale to entertain with miss Quinn signature humour ( have read funnier tales in the series but funny non the less).

Vampire Princess Miyu TV is an anime adaptation of the Classic Japanese Horror Manga Kyūketsuki Miyu. Both the adaptation and the manga were created by Narumi Kakinouchi and Toshiki Hirano. The original anime was a 4 part OVA that came out in 1988, and was re-released as a 26 episode anime series in 1997 licensed by Tokyopop! You can find information on the OVA by clicking on the following link: Vampire Princess Miyu OVA
The story begins with very little insight on who the characters are, or what their purposes are, and therefore it doesn't give you much actual story until later into the series! The series by nature is very episodic, which means each episode can, for the most part, be viewed individually without any loss of enjoyment! The beauty to this is that it makes it easy to just watch one or two episodes a day, and it doesn't engulf you leaving you irritated that you can't see what happens next.
As the story progresses, you get some insight to how the characters relate to each other, and what drives each individual character. This allows for a few two-part episodes, and brings more of a plot to the table. When this occurs, it is a nice change of pace that really draws you into the series as a whole. Where at first, the story was just limited to each episode at a time, later you see the big picture and realize the true meaning of what each of these episodes means to our Protagonist, Miyu!
Finally, at the end of the series everything comes together bringing the true despair and struggle for fighting against fate to the story. The viewer gets a chance to understand the distance that Miyu places between her and reality and why. There is an interesting, though somewhat predictable plot twist at the end as well, which was thoroughly entertaining. For those that do not like the beginning of the series, just wait! The beginning is only a means to the end, and the end is where everything comes together!
The animation of the series was truly beautiful to watch. For those of you who are not accustomed to anything that predates the 2000 year mark, and are used to CG, and advanced manipulated effects, then you may not appreciate the work of hand drawn art! But for those who have experience in watching older titles such as this one, you should be very happy with the detail in the artwork. The backgrounds were very vividly drawn and detailed in textures as well as imperfections of the structures. The characters were almost flawless, but then again there were few changes in facial expressions in the main characters. The true beauty of the character design can be seen in Chisato, who changes her expression constantly.
The sound in this anime was, in my opinion very monotonous, and though it fits the show itself, I thought it to be altogether, weak. Both the opening and the ending were simple, and though I personally loved the flute at first, I believed it to be done way too much and it got old very fast.
Miyu, Larva, and Reiha were amazing characters to start off with. From the first time you meet these characters you automatically want to learn as much as you can about all of them. Luckily the series gives you a lot of insight to the past as well as the motivation that drives the characters. The best part about it is that their individual story is thoroughly thought provoking and deep. In my opinion, the character development in this series is what really brings the story to life. Without all the flashbacks and explanations, there would be nothing to base the actions of the characters on, and therefore would be just a bunch of random episodes that really have no value to them.
The supporting characters such as Chisato, and the other classmates from Miyu's school, also have a their time in the spotlight, where you get to know them, and understand them, then KABOOM, they are thrown deep into the plot out of nowhere, which is a surprising, yet delightful turn of events.
Thus the characters in the series were given a lot of development that enhanced the entire series as a whole. It brings you closer to Miyu, Larva, and even Reiha. With the ability to understand their sorrow, you understand their actions!
The episodic nature of Episodes seemed dull at times and didn't incorporate the actual plot of the series, which I believed to be good! Instead, it just focused on one story at a time, with very little background plot development throughout the episodes during the beginning of the series. It was a good show, but it could have been better! The sound didn't ever do justice to the beautiful artwork. The characters were amazing, period.
All in all, I wish the battles were longer, with a little less of the unnecessary talking, though sometimes it did play an impact on the episode as a whole. One final word of advice, when watching this, watch each episode as a story in of itself, until the series itself gives you a plot to hold onto, otherwise, you may get bored with it!
I've owned this series for quite some time and I totally agree with what you've written. Good review! I look forward to reading more of yours.

Many women cherish their figure-flattering iconic print DVF wrap dress, and now those stuck in hospital beds can feel a bit better about themselves with a new mooning-free hospital gown designed by renowned fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg (DVF).
Fashion has been involved with health initiatives for years with various benefit events and products including Fashion's Night Out on September 10 that funds AIDS charities, the RED clothing campaign, and Diane von Furstenberg, who also donates $1 (€0.78) for every wrap dress sold to the St. Jude's Children Research Hospital.
DVF tweeted on August 12, "We are very proud of our hospital gowns for the Cleveland Clinic. we worked hard at it and we hope it will make patients happier ! DVF"
According to the wellness blogger Kaye Spector for Ohio newspaper The Plain Dealer on September 7, the gown originally under redesign by the Cleveland Clinic took over three years to get right and only after DVF and team stepped in.
The new hospital gown is complete with a new DVF-patterned fabric design, lightweight washable material, side slits instead of the back-end gape and the versatility to wrap the gown in the front or the back.
The gowns are being tested at the Cleveland Clinic first and the "Initial feedback has been good. Some men have said they find the print a bit feminine, so the team is considering changing the color scheme. And the fabric has shrunk in the wash, so the gowns might be made longer to compensate."
The hospital gown has undergone other redesigns in the past.
In 2004 at the Maine Medical Center changed "its patient gown after learning that many Muslim women, whose religion and culture require them to be covered, were canceling doctor visits because they were embarrassed to wear the gown."
And, in 1999 the Sex and the City stylist and designer Cynthia Rowley "created a gown for Hackensack University Medical Center" with "a mock turtleneck, three-quarter sleeves and drawstring pants with matching robes for men; V-necked and scoop-necked gowns for women; and three-quarter length pants for children."
If you are headed for a hospital stay and there are no DVF gowns available, you might want to pick up a "designer" gown: a Dearjohnnies "designer" gown for women and children ($39-69/€31-54) http://www.dearjohnnies.com/shop/ or Gownie, a maternity hospital gown in a variety of cheery pastel prints that promises complete coverage ($29.99-49.99/€24-39). http://www.gownie.com/index.php?c=001&n=1036682&i=B000WM94R6&x=Gownies_Designer_Maternity_Hospital_GownReuse content

With physical inactivity moving higher and higher up the Political Agenda, an increasing number of organisations are looking for ways to tackle this issue. An event taking place at Olympia, London, May 4-5 2016 is hoping to make such a task a lot easier by exploring the ways in which exercise, health and performance connect.
Elevate will bring together industry leaders, academics, practitioners, policy makers and performance experts all focused on getting the nation moving. Elevate has gained strong backing from industry bodies including London Sport and The Institute of Sport, Exercise & Health (ISEH).
Max Quittenton, Director of Elevate, comments, "Tackling physical inactivity is widely recognised as politically, economically and socially more important than ever. An independently researched, balanced, free-to-attend event of scale, in London, will help accelerate progress first regionally, then nationally and in the near future internationally. The response so far has been fantastic: a large number of the most influential brands, experts and organisations are already supporting the event."
Over 4,000 expected attendees will benefit from a free information programme boasting more than 100 speakers with a range of expertise connected to exercise, health and performance. Organisations to be represented include: Public Health England, UK Sport, EIS, Sport and Recreation Alliance, TFL, Sheffield Hallam University, Nuffield Health, Technogym, Optima-life, National Trust, Intelligent Health, Fitness First and Macmillan Cancer.
Dr Ken Van Someren, Head of Research & Development at the GSK Human Performance Lab, comments: "Elevate is a much needed cross-sector event that will explore the ways in which exercise, health and performance connect. If we are to turn the tide on physical inactivity, it is important that all stakeholders, influencers, suppliers and educators work together. I'm looking forward to gathering knowledge and ideas, as well as contributing my perspective on practical recommendations for the optimisation of athletic recovery and performance."
In addition, the exhibition space, consisting of seven feature areas, two attractions and 150 exhibitors, will allow attendees to learn more about how the connections between exercise, health and performance are strengthening. With inspiring attractions, practical demonstrations and innovative products & solutions feature areas, including a skills pavilion and technology walk, attendees can immerse themselves in the latest products and research designed to facilitate future cross-sector collaborations. Exhibitors include Matrix, TRX, Pavigym, Netpulse, Xn Leisure, Youth Sport Direct, Loughborough University, Anytime Leisure, Speedo and Firstbeat.
Matrix, regarded among the world's premier commercial fitness brands, are one of many organisations exhibiting. Gemma Bonnett, Director of Strategic Marketing EMEA & UK at Matrix comments: "Elevate is an important opportunity for professionals to come together, learn from each other and contribute their perspectives on how to tackle physical inactivity. Matrix will be showcasing our latest innovative products and partners which illustrates exactly how physical, health and performance are moving closer together."
Further backing for Elevate has also been shown from influential organisations such as The Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA), Physios In Sport, The Knowledge Transfer Network, The Amateur Swimming Association, The Project Network & Co, SIBEC and The Royal Life Saving Society who will also support the event.
Quittenton concludes: "In addition to the seminars and the exhibition there will also be numerous opportunities for delegates, speakers and exhibitors to network. We are currently planning a social event on the evening of May 4 and there will a number of VIP lounges and meeting spaces where people can hold meetings to discuss collaborations and catch up with friends. We are confident that the event will provide the perfect opportunity for those best placed to tackle physical inactivity to come together, stimulating the discussion around a potential solution to how we can challenge such a prevalent issue."
