In this week's cover story, we presented The Ray, a Target employee from
Antioch who was arrested in the General Strike march in Oakland last
month while acting as a Real Life Superhero. The Ray is far from the
only civilian-turned-comic book hero fighting crime or helping the needy
around the Bay Area.
There are more. Many more.
Here's Rock N. Roll, one of the few ladies among a sea of male superheroes, and a founder of the California Initiative.
Handle: Rock N. Roll, a combination of being a rock guitarist and a motorcyclist.
Superhero turf: Oakland, San Francisco.
Superhero cred: Former bouncer at the End-Up, rock guitarist, teaches women's self defense.
Superhero exploits: Rock and the superhero group she co-founded this summer, the California Initiative, pick up used needles off Mission streets, coordinate toy drives, homeless hand-outs, and patrols of high-crime areas in civilian clothes.
Secret weapon: Humor. "One of the things we can do is try to defuse the situation in a funny way. It's almost like being a parent. like, 'Hey guys, are we going to have to separate you?'"
OccupySF: OccupySF
On why Occupy Oakland's tent city needed superhero security help more than
was "so calm, they even had meditation circles. Whereas in Oakland, we
all have friends who stayed for a few nights in Occupy and they said,
'You should have seen what happened.' There are a lot of homeless people
who do wander through, for the most part they're friendly ... but then
there's the other ones who haven't had their meds."
On why she and her teammates won't intervene between Occupy and police:
"It wouldn't be in line with us remaining neutral, because you'd
instantly be on the side of Occupy. None of us have a police record. I
can say that with confidence. And even if for a good cause, none of us
want to lose our job or be on probation."
On why the California Initiative doesn't wear costumes for security
work, except for bulletproof vests: "A bunch of people in weird masks
tend to look like you're trying to remain anonymous, and not for the
right reasons."
On why she wears costumes for charity work: "There could be someone
doing good work for 15 years in a soup kitchen, but nobody will join the
cause. You put a mask on that guy, all of a sudden everyone is like,
'Hey, what are you doing?' As soon as you put on something thtat reminds
someone of their childhood comfort -- childhood comic books -- they are
all interested."

A Penguin Great Ideas edition of Stoic philosophy in wise and practical aphorisms that have inspired Bill Clinton, Ryan Holiday, Anna Kendrick and many more.**
Few ancient works have been as influential as the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, philosopher and emperor of Rome (A.D. 161–180). A series of spiritual exercises filled with wisdom, practical guidance, and profound understanding of human behavior, it remains one of the greatest works of spiritual and ethical reflection ever written. Marcus's insights and advice—on everything from living in the world to coping with adversity and interacting with others—have made the Meditations required reading for statesmen and philosophers alike, while generations of ordinary readers have responded to the straightforward intimacy of his style. For anyone who struggles to reconcile the demands of leadership with a concern for personal integrity and spiritual well-being, the _ Meditations_ remains as relevant now as it was two thousand years ago.
Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves—and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives—and destroyed them.
Now, Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are. Penguin's Great Ideas series features twelve groundbreaking works by some of history's most prodigious thinkers, and each volume is beautifully packaged with a unique type-drive design that highlights the bookmaker's art. Offering great literature in great packages at great prices, this series is ideal for those readers who want to explore and savor the Great Ideas that have shaped the world.

Apple's GarageBand software is well known for it's ability to help budding musicians create funky grooves and ambient tracks with ease. Also, GarageBand contains several valuable tools in one package to help you be more productive while practicing to perform live, instrumental music too. It has a built in instrument tuner, a built-in metronome, it records your playing via an audio input so you can hear yourself and critique your own playing, and a tool to slow down audio for transcription purposes.
Choosing a Microphone
To get started, you need at the very least a Mac with a built-in microphone, but you will be better off getting a nice powered mic for your digital practice studio that plugs in to your 1/8" audio in jack.
This is actually an interesting topic, because I really couldn't find a whole lot of interesting information online about microphone choices for direct input to a Mac, specifically for the purposes of recording an acoustic instrument. My original intent was to buy a small, portable recorder/mixer, and then import the music to GarageBand somehow. Then I remembered GarageBand and its ability to record direct to it, and realized buying a recorder would be unnecessary. At that point, all I wanted to do was to find a damn microphone that was decent. At the same time, I did not want to break the bank.
The Metronome
GarageBand features a built-in microphone tool. Use it to practice those tight spots and build velocity, or create a click track to keep your performance in tempo as you record – then drop the track for final production.
The metronome is clicking when you record yourself. It will bleed in during recording unless you are wearing headphones. Which brings me to my next point:
Choosing Headphones
Headphones are an important component to the Garage Band-based practice studio. With headphones, you can isolate playback of the metronome or other tracks so that they don't bleed over into the recording of your miked acoustic instrument.
You will want to choose decent headphones with a long cable so you don't send your brand new MacBook sailing over the desk and onto the floor when you finally pull off that riff and do a power windmill. Unless you are going to go for some serious recording, you won't need to spend a lot of money. But do for something a bit more robust than those earbuds that shipped with your old iPod.
The Tuner
GarageBand has a built-in acoustic instrument tuner. Use it to tune your instrument or to check pitch during a passage. Click the tuning fork icon to go into this mode. Very handy.
Recording Yourself
Recording yourself is an excellent way to find ways to refine your music performance, and this in my opinion is the prime feature for leveraging GarageBand as a practice studio. Music students go and submit themselves to their music instructors on a weekly basis and get an earful of how they should work on this and that, and then come back the following week playing the piece exactly the same. Have a listen to what your teacher is hearing for a change, by recording yourself and playing it back. Ow – did I make that mistake?
Or if you're like myself, someone with a masters degree in music performance and decades of private instruction on the books, it's probably time to get into some deep self-critiquing. Be your own teacher and listen to how you forgot to hold that sustain as long as you thought you were, or how you are rushing the beat in that one passage subconsciously every single time. Listening to yourself play through a piece and critiquing yourself as if you were your own teacher can be very revealing.
The best way to learn improvisation is to transcribe solos of the greats. Slowing down those licks would make life easier, would it not? Unfortunately, slowing down only works for direct mic recordings or digitized clips. Simply importing an MP3 file into GarageBand works, but it won't let you slow it down. I was hoping this feature would work when exploring GarageBand as a practice tool, but no dice. Maybe next release… However, there are alternative programs available that do this nicely: Transcribe! and The Amazing Slow Downer. Both of those programs are shareware but the cost is nominal and you get a lot of features with each.
Archiving to Disk
Your GarageBand recordings will start to eat up disk space quick. If you want to keep archives, you will want to back this stuff up on alternative media, such as an external hard drive, DVDs, or CD-ROMs. While CDs might be on the low end of the storage scale, they are big enough to hold a few GarageBand archives and handy enough to organize in a bin. These will tend to be cheaper and burn faster than DVDs, although DVD burners are getting faster and the media is rapidly coming down in cost.
Making a Demo
Lastly, some of those recordings might come out sounding pretty good. With a solid inventory on hand of your work, you can pick and choose which tracks that might be good enough for a demo CD. Export these to iTunes and burn the audio CDs as needed for those audition screenings or conservatory applications. Get a CD labeler, print some jacket notes, and make it look nice while you're at it.
Why aren't you practicing?

Anne Frank has long been a symbol of bravery and hope, but there were two sisters hidden in the annex, two young Jewish girls, one a cultural icon made famous by her published diary and the other, nearly forgotten. In the spring of 1959, The Diary of Anne Frank has just come to the silver screen to great acclaim, and a young woman named Margie Franklin is working in Philadelphia as a secretary at a Jewish law firm. On the surface she lives a quiet life, but Margie has a secret: a life she once lived, a past and a religion she has denied, and a family and a country she left behind. Margie Franklin is really Margot Frank, older sister of Anne, who did not die in Bergen-Belsen as reported, but who instead escaped the Nazis for America. But now, as her sister becomes a global icon, Margie's carefully constructed American life begins to fall apart. A new relationship threatens to overtake the young love that sustained her during the war, and her past and present begin to collide. Margie is forced to come to terms with Margot, with the people she loved, and with a life swept up into the course of history.

"Had higher hopes for this intriguing story..."
Unfortunately, I probably would not. I've always been intrigued by the story of Anne Frank and her family, and I love historical fiction (and "what if" stories), so I had very high hopes for this book ... and was rather let down. None of the characters are particularly memorable or engaging, not even the heroine herself, sad to say -- and the story never really goes anywhere, though it does make a try at a (tepid) romance; but again, it was hard to care about the characters involved. The author does have a nice way with words, no complaints there; it was just not very interesting -- I can hardly recall a gripping moment in the entire story, and the story was full of potential for gripping moments. Also, the narrator did a nice job but she sounded much too young for a Margo who was supposed to be in her mid-30s (she sounded maybe 17), so it was difficult as a listener to conceptualize Margo as a mature woman.
I might, she does have a nice way with words, just didn't enjoy this story.
She has a nice pace, a pleasant voice -- but she sounded much too young to portray this lead character.

Sunken Watermelon Bar
The Belvedere's 20th anniversary was the perfect excuse for the creation of Sunken Watermelon, a very special cocktail bar situated by the pool- right below Greek restaurant Thea Estiatorio- and offering the most spectacular sunset views. The recently opened bar has already made its mark on the Belvedere's differing world of microcosms, by becoming a pole of attraction for its guests.
Continuing its tradition of pioneering Mykonos' cocktail scene, the Belvedere team joined forces with acclaimed mixologist Christos Chouseas who drew inspiration from Belvedere and Mykonos history to create a timeless, yet so innovative cocktail list. The menu specifically features six timeless cocktails (each one comes with a story about Mykonos and the Belvedere and pays tribute to legendary recipes) with two "perfect serve" options, an industry term used to describe a specially presented cocktail. So sit comforatably on one of the six stool chairs surrounding the bar and try one of the Belvedere's version of the classics - think Mai Tais and Negronis - mixed with premium ingredients, in accordance with hotel standards.

We stayed two nights at the Best Western Gateway Inn. The room was very clean and a very good price. The breakfast was fine, too. We did notice there were many dogs staying; however it was quite a quiet location. We were on the second floor. There isn't an elevator, but it worked out okay for us.

Calling All Wyoming Schoolchildren. Deadline extended for Wyoming Children to Help Decorate US Capitol Christmas Tree.
The US Forest Service, in cooperation with Santa has issued an important request seeking the assistance of all Wyoming children in the next three weeks to decorate "The People?s Tree" and do Wyoming proud as part of Wyoming's U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree 2010 project.
With the deadline extended to October 22, 2010, schoolchildren from all corners of Wyoming have been asked to help submit handmade ornaments to adorn the Capitol Christmas Tree.
This year, for the first time, the 67-foot tree will be a gift from Wyoming, with 75 accompanying trees, all of which are in need of decoration.
"While we've had hundreds of handmade ornaments arrive at the shop from Wyoming children, we need even more help to make sure the Capitol Christmas Tree looks beautiful for all the other children in the country," said the U.S Capitol Christmas Tree Coordinator Mary Cernicek. "I know with the help of our families, teachers and their students, Wyoming can create the most beautiful Christmas Tree in the nation!"
The people of Wyoming will make the 5,000 ornaments used to decorate Wyoming's tree. The ornaments will be 9 to 12 inches tall and must be made to withstand three weeks of harsh winter weather. An additional
1,000 ornaments will be made for the 75 companion trees displayed throughout the Capitol.
In order to facilitate Santa's request, Cernicek has extended the deadline for submission of ornaments from October 8th to October 22, 2010. "We want to do all that we can to be sure Wyoming?s children are able to meet the goal of over 6,000 ornaments by October 22, 2010, said Cernicek. "Not to mention one lucky student's name will be drawn to win a trip to Washington, DC to light the tree."
It is time honored tradition that one lucky child from the state of origin light the Capitol Christmas Tree with the Speaker of the House in front of thousands of attendees in front of the U.S. Capitol.
The Bridger-Teton National Forest, at the request of Senator John Barrasso, is leading the State of Wyoming in the delivery of the Capitol Christmas Tree for 2010. The Capitol Christmas Tree will grace the west front lawn of the U.S. Capitol in December 2010. The Architect of the U.S. Capitol has already
selected a 67-foot Engelmann spruce from the Bridger-Teton National Forest which will be cut, loaded, covered and prepped for travel in November to Washington, D.C.
In mid-November, the tree will be toured across the state of Wyoming before heading east to the U.S. Capitol. In late November, the tree will be delivered to the U.S. Capitol, where it will be lowered into 5-foot
deep hole, strung with lights, and decorated with thousands of handcrafted ornaments made by Wyomingites from across the State. In December, the Speaker of the House, along with one Wyoming student, will light the tree and showcase Wyoming's historical, cultural and natural beauty.
Through the holiday season, the tree will be lit at dusk, where it will be enjoyed by people from across world. The theme of Wyoming's tree is "Wyoming- Forever West."

TPFF 2015 Alcohol Think Again Ambassadors
We are thrilled to announce that Olympian pole vaulter and model Liz Parnov will join Festival Director Mariella Harvey-Hanrahan as an Alcohol.Think Again ambassador for TPFF 2015.
The striking athlete and Vivien's model is the perfect person to promote the fashionable responsible message; that responsible drinking is not only healthy, but also fashionable.
"We wanted a role model who could complement what we're doing but whose brand doesn't just say fashion and Liz is the perfect person. It's fusing sport, fashion, art, lifestyle and bridging the culture gap," said Mariella.
Liz, who will be attending TPFF 2015 shows in her role as ambassador, is looking forward to joining TPFF in the promotion of the Alcohol.Think Again message and letting people know how they can reduce the harm of alcohol consumption.
"I am training hard for the Olympics in Rio – working on the skills I need for pole vaulting such as strength, power, speed and co-ordination. I tend to avoid drinking to help me concentrate on my training and fitness. When I jump well the outcome feels amazing!"
Our new partnership with Healthway, who is the Principal Venue Partner for Fashion Paramount and Fashion Central, provides the perfect platform to promote the fashionable responsible message to a large audience.
"Whether you are attending a runway event, a gallery, art centre or a sporting event – I think you should always stay at low risk of alcohol-related harm by having no more than two standard drinks on any day. I'm delighted we can use the Festival as a platform to increase awareness about the guidelines for low risk drinking," said Mariella.
One of our main attractions at this year's Fashion Paramount venue will be the free Chill Out Lounge and Water Bar at Fashion Paramount presented by Alcohol.Think Again, hosted by one of WA's handsome up-and-coming male models. Make sure you come down, whether you're headed to a runway show or not, and join us for the most fashionable week Australia will see in 2015!

Ever been in front of a pretty girl and thought that you had a chance, but you didn't make a move because you weren't able to tell if she likes you?
It has happened to all of us. And figuring out when a woman likes you is the first thing you must be able to pick up on if you are going to be successful at dating women.
After all, if you can't tell when she likes you, how are you going to know when to make a move? Exactly…you won't.
This is the first challenge that we face when working with clients. Often they will initiate an interaction with a woman, chat with her and get her laughing, then come back to us and say that they didn't think that the woman was interested.
Now I can't stress enough how important it really is to be able to tell if a girl likes you or not. In fact, it is safe to say that this is a crucial make-or-break moment during any male/female interaction.
If you are not able to tell whether the girl likes you, you will likely try to do things to impress her, say things that are awkward and weird that ultimately ruins the moment.
Ask yourself this…how much would the way you spoke and interacted with women change if you knew in the back of your mind that this girl was into you?
Probably a lot. You would naturally feel more comfortable around her, and will be able to know like a psychic exactly when to ask her for her phone number or go for the kiss.
So how do you figure this out? There is some really bad information out there regarding how to tell when a girl likes you. Many "dating gurus" will tell you that it is important to wait for a certain number of unconscious signals that let you know what the woman is thinking, otherwise known as "indicators of interest."
The problem with this approach is that if you are waiting for signs that the girl is interested in you, you are shooting yourself in the foot. You see…if you wait to see those signals, the woman will wonder why you aren't reciprocating her attraction by making a move on her.
By the time she sends those signals and you pick up on them…she has lost any attraction towards you that she may have felt at first. Think of those signals as ghosts of her past attraction towards you…once you see them, you're dead.
The first crucial piece of knowing if a girl likes you is to flip-flop the way you approach meeting women. Most guys interact with women waiting for the go ahead or the "green light" to continue moving the interaction forward.
However, if you really want to know if a woman likes you, all you need to do is try to escalate the situation. If you are sitting, suggest that you go to the bar to grab a drink. If you are at the bar, suggest that you go dancing. Ask for her number, suggest you do something later in the week, go for the kiss…anything!
The point is by moving the interaction forward you will not only speed up the interaction, you will also be able to tell if a girl likes you because she WILL GO ALONG WITH YOUR ADVANCES.
And if she doesn't? Then you lost nothing to begin with and she is not yet attracted enough to you…at least now you know where you stand with her and can proceed accordingly. So long story short, the best way to tell if a girl likes you is to move the interaction forward and wait to see her response. Trust me nothing but good will come of this.
If you want to learn more about how to properly move interactions with women forward without any rejection or awkwardness check out our live program page to see how you can get the results with women you have always dreamed about.

Bloomberg Rails Against Government's Attempted 'Power' Play
CBS 2 posted on its website an article about the increased rates for electricty in New York City, which was passed by the federal government. The article includes my response to this hike.
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — It's an electric bill shocker for New York City residents.
In a stunning move, the federal government granted a windfall $1.5 billion increase to the companies that produce electricity, sending bills soaring for the next three summers.
A furious Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Friday the hefty hike is unwarranted and that he is trying to appeal, reports CBS 2's Marcia Kramer.
It's no April fool's joke. The federal government said companies that produce the city's electricity can zap you, handing you an increase of 10 to 15 percent a year every year for the next three years.
"Are you kidding me? This is ridiculous. I'm paying natural gas, electricity about $100 a month. It's totally unfair," East Elmhurst resident Hugh Chrysler said.
"We're in a recession. Everybody's looking to make a dollar. Why should we pay more?" added Steve Hafner of Astoria.
"We're retired. We live on a fixed income. Everything is going up. Our checks are not going up," said Ann Iavelli of Jackson Heights.
Officials said the average apartment dweller will pay as much as $96 a month this summer. Last July the bill was $87. The average small business could pay as much as $2,946 a month. Last July it was $2,576.
But many small businesses have bills a whole lot bigger than that. The owner of Mike's Diner in Astoria said his monthly bill right now is $9,000. He's anticipating a gigantic increase unless it's stopped.
"It's gonna go up like $2,000 more a month. I don't think you can afford to pay that. The economy is struggling. It's not picking up yet," Kostas Pavlakos said.
Mayor Bloomberg said the increase is totally unwarranted because the feds based it on the assumption the companies will have to pay high real estate taxes here. In fact, the city gives power companies tens of millions of dollars in annual tax breaks.
"We think it's a windfall. We don't think it has any benefit to New Yorkers," Bloomberg said. "It's also very hard on people and businesses to pay higher energy costs."
State Sen. Michael Gianaris, who represents blackout-plagued Astoria, is also demanding the feds rescind the hike.

Short Term Health Insurance Blog

Between Jobs in Colorado? Short Term Health Insurance Offers an Affordable SolutionFiled Under: Blogging
There are two scenarios in which short term health insurance in Colorado is especially useful to people transitioning between jobs. The first is for people who have been temrinated from their positions. Like most Americans, your health insurance is probably provided by your employer through their group health plan. So when you lose your job, you also lose your insurance coverage. Employers are required by law to offer you COBRA, an alternative insurance plan that allows you to maintain your same level of insurance, but does so with much higher premiums and administrative costs. For someone who has lost their source of income, COBRA is not necessarily a great option because of the cost.
The other situation in which you may want to pursue short term coverage is if you have voluntarily left your job for another one, but your new employer does not immediately issue health insurance. Paying for an employee's health coverage is very expensive, so often an employer will make a new employee go through a 30, 60, or 90 day probationary period before they can be insured. So you will need some sort of protection while you wait out that period.
This type of insurance is perfect for either situation. It gives you and your family access to high quality health care without COBRA's expensive premiums or costly administrative fees. It covers a variety of needs, including inpatient care, outpatient care prescriptions, emergencies, and more. And it can be purchased in shorter increments than many other plans, so you do not have to lock yourself into a year's coverage when you only need a month's. It is truly a convenient and affordable solution for Colorado residents between jobs.

Friends, family, and comrades,
We are now celebrating a day in which all people are showing respect to a man whose sacrifice in the cross gave birth to a new chapter in the history of mankind. That person was and is also known for his miracles, his parables, his desciples and perhaps his death on the cross that as if like a sacrificed lamb-cleandsed us from our sins in this sinful earth.
That man is also known for telling us that the kingdom of god is in our hearts, to bring sword not just peace, as well as to love one another same as to love god. And through his birth somehow show us a new path not just towards heaven but a new tommorrow, not just through prayer but through work, not through sermon but through action-for Christ, the man behind chirstmas, tells us to arouse, organize and mobilize for he coming struggle.
But then,
Most people think of it as a mere day for materialist interests. And instead of showing spiritual wealth, bogus charity and of some sort becomes a rampant tradition in our lives, not thinking its real essence of the season-not just sharing and giving, but rather sacrificing for the greater glory not just of humankind but perhaps of god, for Christ himself, being born and raised a humble but regal man, wanted simple that led to his sacrifice: liberating the human race from sin, which is the root of all disruption of friendship and of all injustice and oppression both temporal and in spiritual in this place called earth. Or, just like the Zapatistas, "The people have everything, we have nothing."
For sure as time goes by, of calamities and of other crises rising, Christ tells us not just a mere share and give material needs, but rather to give the real essence of this season a chance to be celebrated-simply by serving the people wholeheartedly, of learning from them and help alleviate from their misery.
Have a liberating Christmas and a promising new year!
Peace, land, and bread in our homes and in the world!

Daft Punk still at one as Little Mix debut high on the U.S. album chart
Daft Punk have scored a second week at the top of the U.S. album chart, keeping rockers Alice In Chains from number one. The French electronic music duo's Random Access Memories debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 last week (29May13) and despite a huge dip in sales, it holds off Alice in Chains' The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here, which enters the new countdown at two.
Veteran rocker John Fogerty lands his highest debut ever at three with duets album Wrote a Song for Everyone, and British pop stars Little Mix open up their U.S. album chart account with DNA at four, giving the U.K. X Factor sensations the highest debut ever for a British female group's first album, surpassing the number six arrival of Spice Girls' Spice in 1997.
Meanwhile, on America's pop chart, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' Can't Hold Us has landed a fifth week at number one, keeping Justin Timberlake's Mirrors off the top spot.
Timberlake's hit moves up a place from three to two.

A 3 year old child named Landon Riddle was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), and was informed he had a simple 8 to 10 percent opportunity of surviving for more than a couple of days at one point. Luckily, Landon lives and well. His mother associates his speedy recuperation, not a lot to the chemotherapy, but to an alternative marijuana oil treatment
"His whole chest was full of leukemia tumors, which is why he couldn't breathe. They started him on chemo, but told us that he probably wasn't going to make it," said Landon's mother, Sierra Riddle.
Following 2 months of treatment, Landon became ill and avoided eating. His mother reported that Landon was vomiting up to 50 times each day. Doctors ultimately lost hope, seeing no course to take other than chemotherapy. It was at this point where Landon's grandma recommended Sierra provide cannabis oil treatment a try.
"We discussed all of our concerns with his medical team in Utah and watched Landon continue to suffer and wither away as the piled on drug after drug," Sierra said. "Then my mother came across cannabis oil online," she added.
"Our hearts were filled with joy that cannabis brought back the smile to Landon's face. Landon started getting better and better! It was as if a miracle had happened! He was smiling again and started to eat again!" Sierra said in her blog during Andrew's cannabis oil treatment.
"It is atrocious that anyone on the planet would be charged for choosing cannabis over pharmaceuticals. My heart goes out to Adam Koessler and Rumor Rose, along with uncountable other families that are affected by cannabis prohibition. Get ready for the fight of your life. Having a sick child is a battle in itself, but making this choice is a whole new world. You're going to need thick skin, intuition, and a solid team. Don't waste time making sure every other pharmaceutical does more harm than good. If it feels wrong in your gut, it's probably wrong," she included.
Days following the marijuana oil treatment, Landon revealed indications of improvement. He ate more food and was throwing up less. Within months, Landon's cancer went into remission.
While kids with ALL have a 90 percent survival rate, London's mother thinks the cannabis oil didn't just suppress the side-effects of chemotherapy; it actually assisted battle against Landon's cancer cells.
Firing up a legal battle
Although Landon's cancer went into remission, the household still has obstacles to eliminate. In certain, Sierra was told that if she terminated Landon's chemo treatment, then her kid would be taken away from her. A lawyer wanted to handle the case, saying Landon's mother was merely attempting to watch out for the very best interests of her child.
In order to keep her child, Sierra accepted continue Landon's chemo treatment as soon as a month alongside the cannabis oil treatment. Although the medical market is lastly beginning to acknowledge the cancer-fighting benefits of marijuana oil, many physicians say it needs to just be utilized in combination with standard chemo treatments. Sierra is still searching for an oncologist that will enable marijuana oil to substitute Landon's chemotherapy altogether.
Regardless of Landon's story, the American Cancer Society claims, ""there is no available scientific evidence from controlled studies in humans that cannabinoids can cure or treat cancer." This remains in stark contrast to the understandings of Dr. Julie Holland, editor of "The Pot Book," who says, "It turns out, it actually fights the cancer itself." Various studies have actually revealed that cannabis substances can help kill cancer cells in both rodents and people.

text: Here is another one, very much alike the stove in this post. The main difference is the tank. This is nickel plated and has probably never been white painted. The filler cap and air release screw are also different and the burner is not a Primus, it is anonymous. Even the burner support seems to be of another style, this is cast aluminium. So the question is, is this is an earlier or later model. One thing to note is that the legs have a number of not used holes. My guess is that they where used for some other models too and customized to fit several models. Unfortunately the grid is missing and I have to find a way to make a reproduction. Finding a spare one is probably a hopeless mission. Bo

Hi everyone, i have kind of a straight forward question concerning the first line left indent function in indesign...is there like a golden rule in how much "mm" (mine is set to mm) a first line left indent at the beginning of each paragraph should be in comparison to the font size and/or leading used in a document?
For example i'm using a typeface (Mercury) at 10pt and the leading is 12,7pt, should i set the left indent according to the font size or is it just all a matter of whatever works best for you?
All help is appreciated
The golden rule is that the
The golden rule is that the indent should be as wide as an imaginary perfect square described by the left margin, the baseline of the line above, and the x-height of the line below. The fourth side will then describe the indent.
Or one Em, which in most

Either one em or one lead is
Either one em or one lead is standard. I prefer a little more, though, as do a lot of designers. Basically as long as you're under two ems you're safe.
One thing to consider is how
One thing to consider is how the indent will play against orphans.
Another is line length.
I usually set the indent to
I usually set the indent to equal the leading value, as this generally gives a good proportion that works for both narrow and wide column settings and adapts quite well even for very wide linespacing.
The other method is that suggested by Claus, creating an optical square, but this results in a deeper indent than I usually like, and the squareness ends up being variable depending whether the line below starts with ascender letters of all x-height.
Occasionally in old
Occasionally in old publications (early 20th century) and in typewritten letters from that period I've seen huge indents; like maybe 1/3 the width of the line. I was never sure if that was common in those days or just an oddity.
What Claus meant:

Carolina, as a standard rule,
Carolina, as a standard rule, I set the indent measure as the same of the em dash of the typeface I'm using in the paragraph. I have exeperienced that, for example, in a Garalde set at 11 points, this measure turns out to be - approximately - at 3,5 mm or 4 mm. If it appears to be too big, I decrease it a little (from 4 to 3,5 mm.; the first line indent shouldn't be too big). This way, it usually works fine for me. I'm not totally sure, but I think I read this "em dash method" somewhere in a Jan Tschichold's essay.
I often use a deeper
I often use a deeper paragraph indentation in flush-left/ragged-right ('unjustified') alignment.
What is your thinking in this
What is your thinking in this regard, Maxim? Without the anchor of consistent margin on the right, the big indent seems to make the first line float to the left, like a boat that has come unmoored.
The standard—one-em, or
The standard—one-em, or one-linespace—indent may be, and is, sufficient for a justified column. However, I believe that with the right-hand edge of the column ragged, a stronger paragraph break is necessary. The efficient and creative use of a deep indentation in Typographische Monatsblätter, and other print of the 1970s still looks very convincing to me.
with the right-hand edge of
with the right-hand edge of the column ragged, a stronger paragraph break is necessary.
Ah, makes sense now.
It doesn't make sense to me,
It doesn't make sense to me, yet.
What I'm wondering, Maxim, is why you think a ragged right edge makes a stronger paragraph break necessary? What is the relationship between the two? Personally, I'm having a hard time seeing anything in a ragged right margin that suggests the need for a larger than normal indent on the left, and the typography of Typographische Monatsblätter etc. strikes me as stylistic rather than functional in this regard (ironically, often the result of modernist experiments despite their designers' frequent appeals to functionalism).
[I'm also suspicious that the deep indent style had its origin in typewriter correspondence, and simply reflects the default tab setting.]
So what's wrong with the
So what's wrong with the typing format? A five-space-deep paragraph indentation does make a lot of sense in typing, with the right-hand column edge badly ragged because of the absence of hyphenation… So does double spacing after periods, btw.
Here are a couple of examples
Here are a couple of examples of deep indents in typewritten letters. Both are on White House letterhead — one from President Truman and one from President Roosevelt.

One more. Not as deep an
One more. Not as deep an indent, but it's more current — President Obama.
I'm still trying to
I'm still trying to understand what about the ragged right makes a deep indent on the left seem necessary to you. So far as I see it, there is no connection between the two, and the indent retains its primary importance in relationship to the left margin. The eye, reaching the end of the line, jumps to the beginning of the next line, which is to say to the left margin. Hence, the indent that is merely a visual indicator of a structural division of the text should be as deep as necessary to be unambiguous and no deeper. Unmooring the first line of a paragraph from the left margin with a deep indent means the reader has to go looking for it, instead of simply jumping to the left margin as usual. The overall visual affects of deep indents (and wide linespacing) on a page have dramatic visual impact, but they have nothing to do with the mechanics of reading, so don't serve the text or the reader.
The publishing convention for
The publishing convention for paper books is that the first line of a chapter, or a section after a line-break, is NOT indented.
Indents are to separate paragraphs, and since there is no paragraph before the first (by definition), no indent is needed.
I hope this is not to far off-topic, but all the examples shown have first paragraph indents. It may be a matter of preference; not indenting the first ¶ is mine. But whatever your preference, consistency matters.

I'm still trying to understand what about the ragged right makes a deep indent on the left seem necessary to you.
I wonder if making the indent larger than most or all of the "rags" sends the eye the message that "this is an intentional break, not an arbitrary byproduct of line lengths like those other spaces over there."

I wonder if making the indent larger than most or all of the "rags" sends the eye the message that "this is an intentional break, not an arbitrary byproduct of line lengths like those other spaces over there."
Yes, something to that effect. It's just that the uneven lines in FL/RR setting create a lot of visual noise on page… Especially loud when there are no word breaks, which causes a 'hard rag', or strongly uneven right edge of the column. Bordering on unbearable in those languages that have longer words than English. So a stronger signal may be necessary to indicate a paragraph break.
Okay, so I understand the
Okay, so I understand the reasoning now, but I don't find it compelling. Those 'other spaces over there' seems to me to have nothing to do with what is happening on the left margin, which is nothing out of the ordinary for normal reading. So why introduce something that is out of the ordinary? As for the ragged right producing visual noise on the page, I agree, and I think the deep indent on the left only increases that visual noise: it certainly seems to in the 1976 Olympics page spreads to which Maxim linked. I think one of the reasons why adding space between paragraphs and not indenting them became a popular solution for ragged right text is precisely because making a consistent left margin anchors the text better and reduces the noise. And, of course, Eric Gill's solution for ragged right setting in his essay on typography was to get rid of the paragraph breaks altogether and use a pilcrow instead. Again, I think this was to maintain a consistent left margin contra the variable rag.
Making the left margin more ragged than usual because the right margin is ragged seems exactly what one should not be doing.

Another reason for not indenting the first paragraph is that visually it creates a weak start.
I rarely indent first paragraphs. Occasionally a client (or copy editor) will think it's an error, but after explaining my reasoning they've always dropped their objection.

> So why introduce something [large indent] that is out of the ordinary?
In some cases (not necessarily this one) it might be the designer thinking "this looks like the text in a zillion other printed pieces; how can I make it look a bit different?"
See: Frase, L. T. & Schwartz,
Frase, L. T. & Schwartz, B. J. (1979). Typographical cues that facilitate comprehension. Journal of Educational Psychology, 71(2), 197-206. doi: 10.1037/0022-06184.108.40.206
Written sentences often contain several meaningful components (e.g., causes and effects or events in a sequence). Preliminary studies of technical documents showed that typographically segmenting these components improved raters' judgments of the comprehensibility of the information. In the present paper, this segmentation notion is generalized, suggesting that phrase segmentation and indentation can be used to facilitate comprehension. Five experiments were conducted (with a total of 72 college students or technical aides) in which Ss verified sentences by reading complex information in several technical passages. Meaningfully segmented and indented text resulted in 14–28% faster response times than standard text. Both segmenting and indenting significantly influenced performance; however, once a text had been meaningfully segmented, the addition of indentation cues did not significantly affect response time. These data shed light on persisting issues in typographic design, namely, whether there is an optimal length for lines and whether justified margins are desirable. Such factors appear to be of minor cognitive relevance. The critical variable is whether the format results in a display of easily encoded units, regardless of length or neatness of margins. (16 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved).
So if I'm reading that
So if I'm reading that correctly, response time improved if text was divided into paragraphs by either 1) adding space between paragraphs, OR 2) by using indents. But doing both (space + indents) didn't add additional benefit beyond just using one of them. And that makes sense to me. Am I reading that right?
…adding space between
…adding space between paragraphs and not indenting them became a popular solution for ragged right text…
Fashions in paragraphing have come and gone.
The practice John refers to was the initial default of html on the Web, for some reason in opposition to the then current style in print. That is how it acquired its present popularity, with some new-media cachet as well.

text: Office Clutter The definition of clutter is: "a confused or disordered state or collection; a jumble". Clutter is most often a symptom of collector's mania. If we apply this to our modern-day use of email, we can certainly discern traces of an obsession for hanging onto things. Just think of how many times a conversation ends with: "Can you send me the details in an email?" Taking this into account, there are two types of people: The organised collectors: emails are grouped in a clear file structure at regular intervals and all unimportant email is discarded; The chaotic collectors: all email is equally important and preferably left in the inbox forever. Coming to the rescue of the latter category, Microsoft developed the "Clutter" function: a feature that every user of Office 365 can activate personally in his or her mailbox: All the end user needs to do is decide whether to switch this function on or off. What you see above, for example, is a message showing that Outlook has classified 20 email messages as clutter in the past week. The function will create a "Clutter" file, which will then be used to transfer less important email from your inbox to a clutter folder. Of course, Outlook doesn't just randomly transfer email from one file to another; it first makes an assessment of your mailbox behaviour. Which email do you tend to read immediately, which email do you delete, and which don't you even open? Based on this information, Outlook will help ensure that genuinely important email remains in your mailbox, while low-priority email is moved to the clutter file. There are two possible actions you can take to coordinate the clutter filter to your email behaviour. You can designate email as clutter, simply by marking it as such. Of course, it also works the other way around: you can designate email that Outlook has placed in your clutter file as "not clutter". If you prefer not to spend time clicking, you can simple drag email from your inbox to your clutter file (to be designated as clutter), or vice-versa to inform Outlook that specific email moved to your clutter file is, after all, important. Learning process The clutter function will, however, not function flawlessly from the moment you start using it. It may take several days - or even weeks - before it is completely attuned to your profile. As no two people approach their email inbox in exactly the same way, there is a universal solution. Emails sent by the user and those sent by a user's superior are never considered clutter. Other characteristics that mark email as important are the sender's name, whether or not the user has participated in the email thread, or if the user is the sole addressee. All of this is based on a powerful engine developed by Microsoft: Office Graph. Centralised management What we wanted to point out above is that the end user has full control over the clutter functionality; all he or she has to do is make use of it. However, it is not so that an email administrator cannot adjust centralised settings to the system. Email administrators can use "transport rules" to bypass email from the clutter filter (or not). Based on specific words, senders, or whether the email is for internal office use or not, end users can add the attribute "X-MS-Exchange-Organization-BypassClutter" to an email header to bypass the clutter filter. Or, in other words, the administrator can make sure that specific mails will always reach a user's inbox and not inadvertently be designated as clutter. Would you like to know more?

My teeth temporarily turned pink the last time I had a boxed cereal craving (strawberry something) so it has been a few years.
The craving struck and while being lured by Reese's puffs and repulsed by the ingrediant list, I got the bright idea of wandering over to the organic boxed cereals.
So any recs there? Anyone tried Peace passion mango flakes or Envirokidz peanut butter panda puffs?
Or does organic boxed cereal TASTE organic in the bad sense ... virtuous, healthy but like chewing cardboard flakes ... I mean the roughage might be good for you but ...

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs on the road today. Obviously, you didn't buy your CLK430 unless you understood you would be getting long-lasting quality and a trusted brand both impeccably combined into one automobile. When your Mercedes-Benz CLK430 rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a driver who values European styling in their automobile. Your Mercedes-Benz dealership isn't the only place to find trusted replacement parts for your CLK430.
As a Mercedes-Benz CLK430 owner, the delicate balance between fuel economy and engine performance is extremely important. Your modern fuel-injection system relies on the Mercedes-Benz CLK430 mass air flow sensor to observe and report the amount of air coming into the intake. Your ECU takes those measurements and determines the ideal quantity of liquid fuel that is required to make the most efficient combustion. That means that the highest power output and best fuel economy are being achieved by your car or truck.
When your Mercedes-Benz requires a new replacement Mass Air Flow MAF Sensor, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Given all the trouble that can be involved with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you select the correct Mercedes-Benz CLK430 part for your needs. Need 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK430 Mass Air Flow MAF Sensor parts? We've got them right here.

JAG's acquisition of the 45 Go Mobile stores it bought from Shebang boss Iain Humphrey had collapsed as Mobile went to press.
JAG boss John George (pictured, above right) handed back all 45 stores to Humphrey on Monday this week. However, George claimed that 57 stores were handed back to Go Mobile.
Separately, JAG is understood to have handed back the six Link Telecom stores it bought from a different seller.
Out of all the stores, at least 14 were immediately closed down – these stores were in the north of England and Northern Ireland.
Humphrey (pictured, above left) claimed there had already been interest to buy the five stores in Northern Ireland.He said he couldn't comment on the number of redundancies as 'it was an issue for JAG'.
Humphrey claimed that JAG renegotiated on the sale price due to a decline in trading conditions after the initial deal in January. He added: 'Our relationship with JAG remains intact.'
JAG chief John George said: 'I wanted to pay less, Ian didn't want me to.'

The Dutch economy entered recession in the fourth quarter, posting its biggest decline since the beginning of the 1980s, the CBS statistics agency said Friday.
THE HAGUE—The economy shrunk 0.9 percent in the fourth quarter compared to the previous three months meaning it is now technically in recession, the CBS statistics agency said Friday.
"This is the biggest quarter-on-quarter drop since the beginning of the 1980s," it said in a statement announcing its first estimate for the fourth quarter of 2008.
It also revised figures for the second and third quarters to show contractions.
A recession is defined as two consecutive quarters of contraction.
Third quarter growth was revised downward from zero to minus 0.3 percent, said the agency, and for the second quarter from plus 0.1 percent to minus 0.1 percent.
"According to the definition of recession as two successive quarters with negative growth, the Netherlands is now in recession," it said.
Year-on-year, gross economic product shrunk 0.6 percent in the fourth quarter, the first drop in more than five years.
"This is mainly the result of a strong decline in exports of Dutch products," said the statement.
For the year as a whole, growth was put at two percent.
The CBS said investment in the fourth quarter declined 0.3 percent, exports dropped 1.9 percent, and imports rose by one percent.
The number of new jobs created grew by 0.4 percent from the third to fourth quarters.
"Job creation has shown a delayed reaction to shrinking production," said the CBS.

Okay, so I've blogged about this before. I think it's super important stuff.
Common Cause has some amazing write-ups under the title of "Wolves in Sheep's Clothing". [Part 1, Part 2]
The punch line is pretty simple: telcos creating "Astroturf" to make their position against Network Neutrality look populist. I'd laugh if I wasn't so mad.
Pop quiz: can anyone else think of a big industry using Astroturf to protect it's intrenched interests despite the harms to the public at large?
Have you contacted your politician yet?

The book of the prophet Jeremiah, chapter 6, Vulgate and King James Version
1 Fugite, filii Beniamin, de medio Ierusalem; et in Thecua clangite bucina et super Bethcharem levate vexillum, quia malum visum est ab aquilone et contritio magna.
2 Speciosam et delicatam silere feci filiam Sion.
3 Ad eam venient pastores et greges eorum, figent in ea tentoria in circuitu; pascet unusquisque partem suam.
4 "Sanctificate super eam bellum, consurgite, et ascendamus in meridie; vae nobis, quia declinavit dies, quia longiores factae sunt umbrae vesperi!
5 Surgite, et ascendamus in nocte et dissipemus domos eius".
6 Quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum: "Caedite lignum eius et fundite circa Ierusalem aggerem; haec est civitas visitationis, omnis calumnia in medio eius.
7 Sicut effluere facit cisterna aquam suam, sic illa effluere facit malitiam suam; violentia et vastitas auditur in ea, coram me semper afflictio et plaga.
8 Erudire, Ierusalem, ne forte recedat anima mea a te, ne forte ponam te desertam, terram inhabitabilem".
9 Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: "Usque ad racemum colligent quasi in vinea reliquias Israel. Converte manum tuam quasi vindemiator ad palmites".
10 Cui loquar et quem contestabor, ut audiat? Ecce incircumcisae aures eorum, et audire non possunt; ecce verbum Domini factum est eis in opprobrium, et non suscipient illud.
11 Idcirco furore Domini plenus sum, laboravi sustinens." Effunde super parvulum foris et super concilium iuvenum simul; etiam vir cum muliere capietur, senex cum pleno dierum.
12 Et transibunt domus eorum ad alteros, agri et uxores pariter, quia extendam manum meam super habitantes terram", dicit Dominus.
13 A minore quippe usque ad maiorem omnes avaritiae student, et a propheta usque ad sacerdotem cuncti faciunt dolum.
14 Et curant contritionem populi mei in levitate dicentes: "Pax, pax"; et non est pax.
15 Confusi sunt, quia abominationem fecerunt; quin potius confusione non sunt confusi et erubescere nescierunt." Quam ob rem cadent inter ruentes; tempore, quo visitavero eos, corruent", dicit Dominus.
16 Haec dicit Dominus: "State super vias et videte et interrogate de semitis antiquis, quae sit via bona, et ambulate in ea et invenietis refrigerium animabus vestris". Et dixerunt: "Non ambulabimus!".
17 Et constitui super vos speculatores: "Audite vocem tubae". Et dixerunt: "Non audiemus!".
18 Ideo audite, gentes, et cognosce, congregatio, quanta ego faciam eis.
19 Audi terra: "Ecce ego adducam mala super populum istum, fructum cogitationum eorum, quia verba mea non audierunt et legem meam proiecerunt.
20 Ut quid mihi tus, quod de Saba venit, et calamus suave olens de terra longinqua? Holocautomata vestra non sunt accepta, et victimae vestrae non placent mihi".
21 Propterea haec dicit Dominus: "Ecce ego dabo in populum istum offendicula, et offendent in eis patres et filii simul, vicinus et proximus peribunt".
22 Haec dicit Dominus: "Ecce populus venit de terra aquilonis, et gens magna consurget a finibus terrae;
23 arcum et acinacem arripiet, crudelis est et non miserebitur; vox eorum quasi mare sonabit, et super equos ascendent, praeparati quasi vir ad proelium adversum te, filia Sion".
24 "Audivimus famam eius; dissolutae sunt manus nostrae, tribulatio apprehendit nos, dolores ut parturientem".
25 Nolite exire ad agros et in via ne ambuletis, quoniam gladius inimici, pavor in circuitu.
26 Filia populi mei, accingere cilicio et volutare in cinere, luctum unigeniti fac tibi, planctum amarum, quia repente veniet vastator super nos.
27 Probatorem dedi te in populo meo; et scies et probabis viam eorum.
28 Omnes isti principes rebelles, ambulantes fraudulenter. Aes et ferrum, omnia isti corrumpunt.
29 Sufflavit sufflatorium in igne, consumptum est plumbum; frustra conflavit conflator, scoriae enim non sunt separatae.
30 Argentum reprobum vocate eos, quia Dominus proiecit illos.
King James Version
1 O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Beth-haccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction.
2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman.
3 The shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place.
4 Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
5 Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces.
6 ¶ For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.
7 As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds.
8 Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.
9 ¶ Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets.
10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.
12 And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD.
13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.
18 ¶ Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.
19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.
20 To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.
21 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.
22 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.
23 They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion.
24 We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side.
26 ¶ O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.
27 I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way.
28 They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.
29 The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.
30 Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.
