In an industrial section of south-central
"When I found this place" White said one day last April, "I was just looking for a place to store my gear. But then I started designing the whole building from scratch." Now it holds a record store, his label offices, a concert venue, a recording booth, a lounge for parties and even a darkroom. "The whole shebang," White said. It's a one-stop creativity shop as designed by an imaginative kindergartner — a cross between Warhol's Factory and the Batcave.
White, looking like a dandyish undertaker in a black suit and matching bowler, was in the record store, which doubles as a tiny Jack White museum. He is most famous as the singer for
White is obsessive about color and meticulous in his attention to detail. Inside, the walls that face west are all painted red, and the ones that face east are all painted blue. The exterior, meanwhile, is yellow and black (with a touch of red). Before he made his living as a musician, White had an upholstery shop in Detroit, and everything related to it was yellow and black — power tools, sewing table, uniform, van. He also had yellow-and-black business cards bearing the slogan "Your Furniture's Not Dead" as well as his company name, Third Man Upholstery. When he started the record label, he simply carried everything over. "Those colors sort of just mean work to me now."
Roaming the hallways were several young employees, all color-coordinated, like comic-book henchmen. The boys wore black ties and yellow shirts; the girls wore black tights and yellow
Some have called Third Man a vanity project, like the
"I'm trying to get somewhere," White, who is 36, said, reclining in his tin-ceilinged office. He's an imposing presence, over six feet tall, with intense dark eyes and a concerningly pale complexion. On his desk sat a cowbell, a pocketknife, a
White walked back to a room called the Vault, which is maintained at a constant 64 degrees. He pressed his thumb to a biometric scanner. The lock clicked, and he swung the door open to reveal floor-to-ceiling shelves containing the master recordings of nearly every song he's ever been involved with. Unusually for a musician, White has maintained control of his own masters, granting him extraordinary artistic freedom as well as truckloads of money. "It's good to finally have them in a nice sealed environment," White said. I asked where they'd been before, and he laughed. "In a closet in my house. Ready to be set on fire."
White said the building used to be a candy factory, but I had my doubts. He's notoriously bendy with the truth — most famously his claim that his White Stripes bandmate, Meg White, was his sister, when in fact she was his wife. Considering the White Stripes named themselves for peppermint candies, the whole thing seemed a little neat. "That's what they told me," he insisted, not quite convincingly. I asked if I needed to worry about him embellishing details like that, and he cackled in delight.
A few days later, White was sitting behind the wheel of his 500-horsepower black
He pulled into the parking lot of United Record Pressing, the largest vinyl-record plant in the country. United has been pressing records since 1949. The first White Stripes single was made here in 1998, and now Third Man was its third-biggest customer. The label excels at vinyl novelties: glow-in-the-dark Halloween 45s; peach-scented albums; a "triple-decker" record featuring a 7-inch single sealed inside a 12-inch LP. (You needed a Swiss Army knife to get it out.) Third Man's slogan is "Your Turntable's Not Dead."
White walked the factory floor, pausing now and then. There were massive gray bins full of rainbow-colored vinyl pellets ("like the flooring you'd see in your aquarium"), large extruders to melt and shape the raw vinyl into pucks, steel presses that employed 6,000 pounds of steam pressure to flatten the pucks into records. "It's a really beautiful process," White said. At the labeling station, an employee handed him a pressing of an old Robert Johnson LP that was being rereleased, and he weighed it in his hand. "That's killer," he said. "It's not as heavy as mine, though. I've got the real one."
White calls LPs "the pinnacle of musical expression." "I was talking to
White famously doesn't own a cellphone, but he isn't the Luddite he's often made out to be. He has an iPod; he knows how to
White once wrote a song called "This Protector," about rescuing traditions from the march of progress. In a way, that's what Third Man is — 21st-century monks of Kells, defending the catacombs against the digital horde.
Back in the car, White played a song he recently produced for Tom Jones. "Seventy-one years old, and he just came in and murdered it," White said. Then he told a story about the time he was in
"What an incredible story," White marveled, no doubt jealous of a narrative that brought together slippery notions of identity, misleading your audience, dubious Romanians. "They really thought he was a Gypsy, and he was hiding it. He didn't think that was the answer, but it seemed to me like it was the answer. Even if it wasn't," he said, "I'd make it that."
One day last summer, with the flowers in bloom, White was at home in Nashville having some work done. A few days earlier, he and Karen Elson, his supermodel wife, announced they were divorcing. They claimed they were having a party to celebrate — "a positive swing bang humdinger," according to the news release. White said that the split was amicable, and that not much would change — but he was keeping the house, and there were a few things he wanted done. At the moment he was in the driveway, leaning up against his cream-colored 1960
White's mansion is on seven hilly acres in southwestern Davidson County, just down the road from
White led the way inside, past collections of Mexican dolls and two stuffed hyenas, into his den. The walls were covered in flocked-velvet wallpaper, and in the stairway hung a portrait of
Henry, whom White calls Hank, would be 4 in a couple of months; Scarlett had just turned 5. "They're little vaudeville kids," White said. "They've been onstage for school plays and stuff, and they're not nervous at all." He'd already noticed some differences in their personalities. "You can see in Henry's eyes that he really watches the creation of things," he said. "And Scarlett is very much a producer — she likes to tell how it's going to happen. We were messing around a couple of weeks ago, and she was like, 'I'm hearing two pianos. . . . ' "
White said the kids had formed their own band, which they'd named Coke. "They've never had a Coke," he said. "I think they just liked the syllable." He opened his MacBook and pulled up an old video of Scarlett drumming along to the White Stripes' version of "St. James Infirmary Blues," keeping perfect time while White sang. "Check out the big finish," he said as she hit the snare for the finale. "She's 2 here."
The kids were with Elson in New York. White said the couple would remain close. "I wouldn't stay in a band if we weren't moving forward and progressing," he said. "It's more like we're best friends, pals, so we should be pals, and not pretend we're something bigger." He was wearing his wedding ring, a black diamond set in ivory, on his right hand.
White said he hated the limitations society imposed when it came to relationships. "I've always felt it's ridiculous to say, of any of the females in my life: You're my friend, you're my wife, you're my girlfriend, you're my co-worker," he said. "This is your box, and you're not allowed to stray outside of it." I told him it sounded as if monogamy might not be for him, and he laughed. "You think?" he said. "I gave that up a long time ago. Those rules don't apply anymore."
White led the way upstairs to the master bedroom, where a man in a Music City Masonry T-shirt was setting dropcloths around the fireplace. "Whoever lived here before built this ridiculous tan bedroom," White said, spitting out the word "tan." He was redoing it in green and black — what he termed "rustic art deco." He was also installing microphones under the eaves outside his window. Thanks to some quirk of acoustics, he said, "I can't hear the rain." He wanted to pipe in the noise to speakers in his bedroom and listen to the rain while he fell asleep.
White headed back downstairs, stepping over a blue plastic wagon, and out to the backyard to a yellow-and-black brick building with a sign on the wall that read, "It Pays to Upholster." "This is my workshop," he said. There were brown burlap sacks draped over some chairs, and sewing and woodworking equipment scattered on the floor. There were also some tools for welding, which White said he was getting into through his friend
White walked through the backyard and over to his recording studio. He said he'd never taken a journalist there before. "I can't let you write about some of the things in it," he cautioned, switching on the lights. (What those things were, he never said.) Inside, every inch of the place was red and white, from the acoustic tiles to the electrical cords. "This is from a South African TV studio in the '70s," he said, pointing to the mixing board. "The writing is all in Afrikaans." Next to it was a large reel-to-reel machine stocked with tape.
White thinks of computer programs like Pro Tools as "cheating." He records only in analog, never digital, and edits his tape with a razor blade. "It's sort of like I can't be proud of it unless I know we overcame some kind of struggle," he said. "The funny thing is, even musicians and producers, my peers, don't care. Like, 'Wow, that's great, Jack.' Big deal."
It's easy to overlook amid the stylistic trappings, but White is a virtuoso — possibly the greatest guitarist of his generation. His best songs, like "Seven Nation Army," are firmly rooted in the American folk vernacular, yet catchy and durable enough to be chanted in sports arenas worldwide. That he does it with such self-imposed constraints — for instance, his favorite guitar in the White Stripes was made of plastic and came from
White was brought up Catholic, and he still feels an affinity for the martyrs and saints. He likes their devotion, the purity of their sacrifice — especially St. Sebastian, the patron saint of endurance, and St. Rita, the patron saint of the impossible. He also admired Simeon Stylites, a Christian ascetic in fifth-century
White seemed to relate. "People were saying, 'You're just doing this for show, you're not really devoted, you're crazy, you're self-indulgent,' " he said. "So he came down and stood on the ground and said: 'I'm down here. Now what? Am I proving to you that this is not what it's about?' "
Then, White said, "he went right back up."
White once said he has three dads: his biological father, God and Bob Dylan. Dylan was the first concert he ever saw — he says he had seat No. 666 — and he shares with his hero a love for manipulating and obscuring his own persona.
Some things we know. He was born John Anthony Gillis, the 10th of 10 children, and — in a rare instance of mythology dovetailing with reality — the seventh son. His father, Gorman, was a maintenance man at the archdiocese of Detroit; his mother, Teresa, was the cardinal's secretary. They named him after John the Baptist.
The Gillises lived in southwestern Detroit, in a neighborhood known as Mexicantown, where they were one of the last middle-class white families who hadn't fled to the suburbs. He remembers looking out his bedroom window one night and seeing an abandoned car on fire in the street. "I suspect it was a neighbor who'd gotten sick of them not picking it up," he said. "So he waited until the middle of the night and set it on fire — like, Now they'll pick it up."
White says he was "tacked on" — his next-oldest sibling was 7 when he was born, and the oldest was 21. He says his parents were "senior citizens" and "pretty tired by that point," so a lot of the parenting was left to his brothers and sisters. "It could be brutal at times," he said of growing up with nine older siblings. "I don't recall hearing the words 'good job' very often." These days, except for White, all the Gillis kids are in
The upside to being the youngest was a lot of hand-me-down musical instruments. At 11, White taught himself to drum on a kit he found in the attic; later he taught himself guitar and piano so he could accompany himself on recordings. At one point he moved his bed out of his room to clear space for a drum kit and slept instead on a piece of foam.
Near the end of high school, he met a girl from Grosse Pointe named Megan White. They started dating, and by the fall of 1996, when he was 21, they were married. White took his wife's name and taught her to play the drums. He has said that she didn't really want to, that he had to push her. But he had an idea for a two-piece blues band, and he thought her untutored style would be perfect.
White says he had the concept for the White Stripes from the beginning: the two-piece, the brother and sister, the red and white. The point was to be as cartoonish as possible, to distract from the fact that they were white kids playing the blues. Ben Blackwell, a nephew of White's who was also the band's roadie and their unofficial historian, casts doubt on this official story: he says they also considered the names Bazooka and Soda Powder, and distinctly remembers White inviting a bass player to join at one point. But it's clear that White was always fiercely devoted to his vision. At one point, the band was close to signing with a tiny
Meg was the group's virtually silent partner, a whiskey-drinking, Camel Light-
In the summer of 2007, when they were at the peak of their fame, the White Stripes staged a Canadian tour featuring a string of unusual side gigs. They played a bowling alley in Saskatoon, a flour mill in
"I mentioned this to Jack years later, and he didn't know anything about it," Blackwell told me. "But Meg came up to me and said, 'This is the last White Stripes show.' I said, 'You mean, like, of the tour.' And she was like: 'No. I think this is the last show, period.' "
She was right. The band canceled the rest of the fall dates, citing Meg's "acute anxiety." They reunited briefly in 2009, as a favor to O'Brien on his last episode of
"Some people can live their whole lives in limbo," White told me one morning at his favorite East Nashville cafe. "I'd rather cut the lifeline so we can move on with our lives. There came a point where I said, 'If we're not doing this, we need to put an end to it right now.' And that's what she wanted to do."
I asked him why. "You'd have to ask her," he said. "I don't know what her reasons are. Having a conversation with Meg, you don't really get any answers. I'm lucky that girl ever got onstage, so I'll take what I can get."
There was always something slightly condescending in the way White talked about Meg, praising her drumming the way you might encourage a promising 5-year-old. He may have had a point — The Onion once ran a headline that read, "Meg White Drum Solo Maintains Steady Beat for 23 Minutes" — but it also seemed somewhat passive-aggressive, especially after she'd been drumming for a decade.
But White insisted he was never controlling — if anything, it was the other way around. "It was more like groveling," he said. "Even when we were touring 200 days a year, I would have said: Can we do this? Can we do that?" He added: "Meg completely controlled the White Stripes. She's the most stubborn person I've ever met, and you don't even get to know the reasons." (Reached through her husband, the musician Jackson Smith, Meg White declined to comment for this article.)
White said if it were up to him, the band would still be together. "I'd make a White Stripes record right now. I'd be in the White Stripes for the rest of my life. That band is the most challenging, important, fulfilling thing ever to happen to me. I wish it was still here. It's something I really, really miss."
From the White Stripes to the Dead Weather to his albums with Lynn and Elson, most of White's success has come working with women. He said he liked their lack of ego. "When you're in a room of five guys, it becomes a bunch of gorillas in a cage," he said. "Girls don't have those hang-ups."
Then he started telling a long, rambling story about a dream he had the night before, involving a dead body, a basement and a bunch of kids in 1920s newsboy caps. Eventually he came to the crux of the dream, when he came across a beautiful woman. "She was smiling at me the whole time like she knew I was attracted to her," he said. "And then in front of my eyes she started rising up, turning into this 30-foot giant. As she got bigger, she also got blurrier, like she was going out of focus. And that's when I woke up.
"This metaphor was haunting me all morning," White said. "Not only was she becoming larger and more important than me, and able to crush me or destroy me — but at the same time she's going out of focus, and I'm less in touch with how to connect with her. It's really interesting."
I asked him what he made of it. "I don't know," he said, seeming perplexed. "I don't know who that girl is. Maybe she's all girls."
At the end of January — almost a year to the day after the White Stripes' breakup — White announced he was putting out a solo record. He'd been avoiding doing one, mainly because it was what everyone expected. But when the rapper RZA of the
One morning at the end of February, White picked me up in the Mercedes. He'd just come from the house, where he and Elson were tending to Henry, who was sick with
We headed for Third Man, where White was squeezing in a quick rehearsal. He'd assembled two new bands for the record — one of them all women, the other all men. He was taking both on tour, but only one would perform each night. He wasn't announcing which until the morning of the show — even the bands would be surprised. He'd barred them from listening to each other, because he wanted them to evolve separately.
He also had a new color palette: blue. There were blue P.A. cabinets, a blue drum kit, blue guitars. He was having some new blue suits made for himself, and a new blue logo. He said the band, meanwhile, could wear whatever they wanted — as long as it was blue.
White plugged in his guitar, and the band launched into a muscular version of the White Stripes' "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground." His new drummer, Carla Azar, vigorously pounded away. White looked stoked.
White said he never would have done a solo album if the White Stripes were still together. "I could have made 'Revolver,' and people would still say, 'Where's Meg?' " I asked if it felt weird to play the songs without her. "Maybe it should," he said. "But it doesn't. I wrote the White Stripes songs myself. It always felt like the two of us covering my songs."
White has long organized his albums around a central theme: cowardice, happiness, "the death of the sweetheart." He said if he had to choose one for "Blunderbuss," it would be death. "I was writing the liner notes the other day, and it seemed like it had a lot to do with that," he said. "For some reason, that was overwhelming throughout the lyric writing."
Last April, White's oldest brother, Ray Gillis, died unexpectedly at age 54. "Blunderbuss" is dedicated to him. "He was a really interesting guy," White said. "He was a Redemptorist brother, a priest, for a while. After that he became a private investigator and opened a spy shop in Detroit. We spent a lot of time together growing up. He'd take me to the movies — he was the only person who took me to the movies, as a matter of fact. All the movies that I've been involved in since, I always brought him with me to the opening, to pay him back."
White, meanwhile, said he hadn't thought about his own death much, but as always, he was mindful of his myth. "I told my wife: If we're on a road trip, and we pull into a Kentucky Fried Chicken, and I die in the car — can you please drive across the street to the hardware store?"
The next week White was giving a birthday party for Third Man, another swing bang humdinger. There would be cocktails, party favors (a limited-edition LP that played at 3 R.P.M.), a yellow-and-black candy buffet. He had recently bought the building next door and was in the process of expanding. Two days later he was starting his tour, and then he was eager to make another record. He also wanted to open a shop in Nashville specializing in high-end gentlemen's hats. "I would sleep better at night," he said, "knowing this town had a store like that."
But of everything, he seemed most excited about those rain microphones. He'd finally got around to installing them, and they were already paying off. "A few weeks ago, the kids were in my bed," he said. "Six in the morning — it was still dark. I said to Scarlett, 'Is it raining?' and she said no — which goes to show you really can't tell. She hadn't seen the trick yet. So I said: 'Let me see. Let me turn the rain on.'
"And it wasn't just sprinkling — it was storming. And she said the greatest thing — she said, 'Can you turn the sun up, too?' "
White laughed. "I had a big choice there. Should I keep letting her think I have control of the weather? You want your children to think you can control the weather if you need to. At this point," he said, "she still thinks I control the rain."
An article on April 8 about the musician Jack White misidentified the location of a so-called one-note concert given by his former band, the White Stripes. The concert was held in Newfoundland, not New Brunswick.

A Philadelphia high school was put on lockdown following an armed robbery Friday.
Police say Jules E. Mastbaum Area Vocational Technical High School at 3116 Frankford Ave. in the Kensington section of the city was put on lockdown after a student was robbed at gunpoint.
Shortly after the school's 600 students were dismissed for the day, two students and a masked gunman approached the 17-year-old victim at his third floor locker where they assaulted and robbed him, according to police.
The district knows who the two student attackers are, but are unsure who was wearing the mask.
Investigators are still searching for the suspect who pulled the gun.
"The third individual...was armed with some type of handgun, whether it was a real handgun, a simulated weapon, a pellet gun," said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Carl Holmes, "We do not know at this point."
Mastbaum has metal detectors at the building's front doors - the only location where students are permitted to enter, according to school officials.
But officials say students exit through all doors during dismissal, which may have provided the gunman with an opportunity to pass into the building undetected.
The suspects stole a cell phone, portable video game system and other electronics from the victim, according to police.
Authorities are checking school surveillance cameras that may have caught the incident.
Students could be seen leaving the building as the lockdown was lifted around 4:30 p.m.

Looking for some advice on how to increase my spin rate with the M3 driver. a ball speed around 145, my launch angle is good around 13, but my spin rate is low around 1000. I have a Griphite Design Tour AD 6I shaft, it is suppose to be a high launch low spin shaft but too low spin. But Stock shaft (Tensei Blue stiff) is bout 1800~2200 spin rate. How can I increase the spin rate with Tour AD 6?
Please help
Hey Chris, to start with you can move the weights to the back of the head and split them (see below) and the then you can also increase the loft. That would help to increase the spin. Let us know how you get on.
In addition to Ryan's great info, I'd also add that ~1000 rpm is a big difference between two shafts and there might be more going on than just the Tour AD-DI being a lower spin shaft. I'd suggest you might also want to compare impact location between the two shafts using some foot spray powder (Dr. Scholl's Odor-X, for example).
It's possible that your particular swing dynamics cause one shaft's bend profile to give/remove a little more toe droop than the other. That can cause your strike location to vary on the face. If the DI is a little higher on the face, that would cut spin. If the Tensei Blue is lower on the face, that would add spin. If I was in your shoes, I'd be curious to see what the spin is with each shaft for center strikes. That way you're comparing apples to apples. Good luck!
I tried to put this way as your advice with both shafts. and I rotate to the higher position.
But the results were same. The ball flew like a knuckle ball. I try to hit top of face, middle, and lower face.
Are there any other ways to increase spin rates?
Thanks for your help.
1000rpm seems incredibly low. Out of curiosity, what's your attack angle?

How Hannah Montana Got Into Trouble Over Diabetes
Recently Disney yanked the eagerly anticipated Season 3 opener ofHannah Montana, the popular preteen show starring Miley Cyrus. Among diabetics, the preseason hype was positive: A major star in a major show (its viewers may be small in stature, but the show draws 3.5 million of them) was going to spend significant air time focusing on diabetes.
In prepping the episode, Disney told E!Online that it conferred with medical experts to make sure the show's content was handled responsibly. And it timed the episode's airing to coincide with American Diabetes Month.
But the network's awareness effort was scuttled when a few parents of type 1 diabetics saw an episode preview and ratted it out for promoting diabetic stereotypes.
A celebrity news writer got the scoop from one of them. The unnamed parent said the episode, in which shaggy-haired Oliver is diagnosed with diabetes and Hannah Montana tries to keep him from eating sugar, reinforced bad stereotypes about type 1 diabetes, such as type 1 diabetics can't have sugar (they can) and sugar causes type 1 diabetes (it doesn't). According to the source, Oliver is also never shown taking insulin or checking his blood sugar (both of which are realities of type 1 diabetes).
I have not seen the episode (though I have seen the show before—for months my four year old has been waging an unsuccessful campaign to watch it), but the title alone, "No Sugar, Sugar," gives me an idea of where the Disney folks ran afoul. Sugar has been associated with diabetes for many decades; around some elderly people you'll still hear the phrase "sugar diabetes." But it's an outdated reference.
Scientists don't know the specific cause of type 1 diabetes, but they do know that the body's ability to produce insulin is either damaged or destroyed due to an autoimmune response. Genetic and environmental factors are at the top of the list of possible causes, but sugar is not one of them.
Type 1 diabetes advocates often make this point, especially when they feel efforts to fight the disease are being overshadowed by its bigger brother, type 2 diabetes. According to the Centers for Disease Control, there are 24 million diabetics in the U.S.—only 3 million have type 1.
Type 2 diabetes is not specifically caused by overconsumption of sugar, either, although obesity is considered a leading risk factor. But there are plenty of type 2 diabetics, like me, who were not obese or severely overweight when they were diagnosed.
But the perception that there is only one kind of diabetic and that diabetics can only get the disease by eating too much sugar (or by making other poor diet choices) is prevalent. It bothers type 1 diabetics so much that a few have humorously campaigned to rename the disease.
Though I'm type 2, I cringe when I run into the perception too. Like when I tell someone I'm diabetic, and they reply "But you're not fat." Or at the holidays, when someone holds out a plate of cookies for me, but suddenly remembers my glucose intolerance, and pulls it back. "Oh, you can't have sugar, can you?"
I'm sure this is the point those type 1 parents were making when they complained to Disney—with so much misunderstanding about these two related diseases already out in the public, why add more? I'm not normally a fan of such efforts to tamp down a network's efforts to portray a controversial topic. It usually smacks of overreaction and borders on censorship.
But if my daughter saw this Hannah Montana episode as described, how would she react? Would she chuck her Halloween stash or empty the sugar jar because she thinks Daddy's not supposed to have sugar? Maybe Disney did the right thing.
We'll see later this season. The episode is being reviewed and the network says it plans to make changes and air it.

The SureSmile® system offers quicker and more efficient treatment times than traditional dental braces. In fact, SureSmile braces can reduce the overall treatment times by as much as 40%. Though the majority of people love the thought of straight, healthy teeth, most do not relish the prospect of spending several years wearing braces. Contrary to popular belief, SureSmile® does not move the teeth more quickly. The teeth move with added precision at the same speed.
The SureSmile® technologies allow the dentist to view the teeth in 3D from every angle, and then plan treatment accordingly. In addition, the braces themselves are created by a computer program, and activated by body heat.
SureSmile® has many advantages over traditional dental braces, including:
How can SureSmile® help me?
There are many ways in which the SureSmile® system is helpful to patients. Better precision means better results and a much straighter smile. SureSmile® also reduces the amount of discomfort by maximizing the effectiveness of dental wires.
Generally, brace wearers dislike adjustment appointments because they cause pain and discomfort. Fortunately, SureSmile® is able to take most of these appointments out of the equation, and leave the teeth healthier and straighter. SureSmile® offers fantastic results to people of any age – the only prerequisite is generally healthy teeth and gums.
What does getting SureSmile® braces involve?
Initially, the orthodontist will want to check the mouth for signs of decay and disease. If any irregularities are noted, they will need to be controlled before SureSmile® braces are applied.
The first stage of orthodontic treatment involves planning. A three-dimensional model of the teeth will be created using a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) device or an OraScanner. The images available to the dentist are remarkably sharp and show the exact position of every tooth, root, nerve and blood vessel.
The dentist is able to simulate how different treatments will change the orientation of the teeth with 3D software. Every angle is examined and different approaches are considered. The software is so advanced that the dentist can use it to "look into the future" and view the final position of the bite.
When the treatment has been fully planned, it is time for the SureSmile® robot to create the prescription braces. The SureSmile® robot engineers a Copper Ni Ti shape-memory archwire. The archwire will gently assert constant pressure on the teeth to move them into the desired position.
The main difference between the SureSmile® archwire and the traditional archwire is the technology involved. Instead of going back to the office every few weeks to have the brace adjusted, the SureSmile® archwire is activated by body heat and tightens automatically. As a result, adjustments should not cause discomfort, dental visits should be less frequent, and results should be achieved quicker.
If you have questions about SureSmile® or any other orthodontic system, please contact our office.
Dr. Sivie is very personable and sweet. She listens to everything you have to say. All my appointments were pain free. The atmosphere at the office is amazing and I would absolutely recommend this office to anyone in Plano! Only downside is that it seems to be more expensive than most.
I have seen Dr. Williams for years. He has done numerous procedures on me and all have worked well. I have always had "bad" teeth and yet all of them are still in my mouth! I had been told every filling, about 15, had to be replaced. I went to Dr. Williams for another opinion and he explained that although some weren't going to last for many more years, there were really only a few that needed replacing right then. When an accident broke out my front 2 teeth, he worked with me to get me 10 top veneers. My teeth are gorgeous and 11 years later people still don't notice they are veneered. I have referred many people to the practice and I heartily recommend Dr. Williams.
About Hygienist: Over 20 years, I have had a lot of cleanings. The hygienist team is wonderful. Denise is my favorite because she is now a friend! Wonderful Christian environment, clean, funny, very nice!

Our community water programs are designed to support healthy watersheds and sustainable programs to balance the water used throughout our production process. We do this by working on a wide range of locally relevant initiatives, such as watershed protection; expanding community drinking water and sanitation access; water for productive use, such as agricultural water efficiency; and education and awareness programs.
Together with our bottling partners, we collaborate with the World Wildlife Fund, United Nations Development Programme, Global Water Challenge, CARE, Ocean Conservancy and others to protect watersheds and support initiatives that bring clean water and sanitation to underserved areas. Since 2005, we have developed Community Water Partnerships, with more than 320 projects in 86 countries.
One of our largest collaborations is with the United States Agency for International Development and our bottling partners. Together in 2005, we formed the Water and Development Alliance to protect and improve the sustainability of watersheds, increase access to water supply and sanitation, and enhance productive use of water in 23 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. Since inception, there has been a combined investment of $29.7 million. Our project in Angola helped construct 9 community water tap stands, providing 41,200 people with access to an improved water supply.
We are working with The Nature Conservancy to review our current community water initiatives and develop methodologies for quantifying their impact. Since 2005, we estimate that we have replenished 23 percent of the water used in our finished products, and we are gaining momentum toward achieving our goal of water neutrality by 2020. We estimate that in 2010 we replenished 23 percent of the water used in our finished beverages (based on 2010 unit case volume).
We also are involved with the Water Footprint Network to develop standards and guidelines for water footprint accounting and to define the concept of water neutrality. In 2010, we collaborated with The Nature Conservancy to take a look at water footprint s as a water resource management tool in a report titled Product Water Footprint Assessments. This work complements our engagement with the CEO Water Mandate, a joint initiative of the United Nations Global Compact and the government of Sweden. The CEO Water Mandate seeks to build an international movement of committed companies working to develop strategies and solutions to help address the water challenges facing the world today.

SIS Barb says...
SIS Bren says... It was a rare occassion that we actually got to watch a movie tonight. While flipping through the channels trying to find something entertaining, I decided to see what HBO had On Demand. To my surprise, they had some new titles and one that I had been waiting to see.
My pick of the week: Burn After Reading (2008)
From IMDB: Osbourne Cox, a Balkan expert, is fired at the CIA, so he begins a memoir. His wife wants a divorce and expects her lover, Harry, a philandering State Department marshal, to leave his wife. A diskette falls out of a gym bag at a Georgetown fitness center. Two employees there try to turn it into cash: Linda, who wants money for elective surgery, and Chad, an amiable goof. Information on the disc leads them to Osbourne who rejects their sales pitch; then they visit the Russian embassy. To sweeten the pot, they decide they need more of Osbourne's secrets. Meanwhile, Linda's boss likes her, and Harry's wife leaves for a book tour. All roads lead to Osbourne's house.
Great actors and superb acting. The Coen brothers have strange minds! Loved this movie.
SIS Beth says…
A few week ago Richard suggested we recommend movies with great sound tracks. We'll definitely do that as a SIS team, but until then, I've got a killer rec!
My Pick of the Week: Across the Universe (2007)
Here's a short summery from IMDB: The music of the Beatles and the Vietnam War form the backdrop for the romance between an upper-class American girl and a poor Liverpudlian artist.
The acting was top notch. The story engaging. The music…. Well, come on. It's the Beatles! The music was incredible! But what floored me was the imaginative arrangements and the fabulous talent of these young vocalists. Can't resist. Check this out!

I've got one of those long springy things with jaws down the middle for picking up small things in tight places, that cost a quid at a tool sale. I can not remember how long it is probably about 3 foot, but they may do longer versions. I don't know if the jaws would be strong enough, but there may be something more substantial.

Talk:Nancy Reagan
Hal, I bet 15 quatloos that the bit about the astrologer gets scissored by the Truth Police. --BobD 01:41, 16 April 2007 (EDT)
"Nancy Reagan's backstage handling became fodder for late-night monologues and a national concern in 1987, following the publication of Donald Regan's "For the Record." Regan believed, as did many others, that Nancy was largely responsible for his being replaced as Chief of Staff. In his sensational memoir, Regan revealed that the First Lady regularly dictated the president's schedule after consulting her personal astrologer. Regan never claimed that astrology influenced executive decisions, but the ensuing frenzy raised questions about who exactly was in control at The White House. In "My Turn," Nancy attributed her reliance on astrology to her fear that her husband would be shot again."
So, what exactly did he claim? Huh? She sent memos! People respected the fears of an old lady who had recently almost lost her husband! What a bunch of snide little gutter snipes. --~ TK MyTalk 04:23, 16 April 2007 (EDT)
- Please for to fix the link for her husband from Ronald Wilson Reagan to Ronald Wilson Reagan
Rob Pommertalk 10:06, 17 April 2007 (EDT)
- Ronald Reagan page is wrong, Rob. His name, encyclopedia-like, should be Ronald Wilson Reagan. --~ Sysop-TK /MyTalk 10:32, 17 April 2007 (EDT)
- Yes. While I agree with your assessment Officer TK, it doesn't fix the broken link. Feel free to either fix the link as I suggested above or create a Ronald Wilson Reagan page and move all of the material from Ronald Reagan to the new Ronald Wilson Reagan page being sure to make Ronald Reagan a redirect to be sure the link does not going to a (now) orphaned page. Rob Pommertalk 23:08, 17 April 2007 (EDT)
- Or not, citizen pommer. Or not. Please notify me when the nastiness ends, and I can be as sweet as pie. Until then, you get two conservatives for the price of one. It's your call. --~ Sysop-TK /MyTalk 00:26, 18 April 2007 (EDT)
- What "nastiness"? I asked politely for a sysop (since the page was locked at the time), to fix the link. You, TK, then rebuffed my request to fix the link adding that RR should ought to be RWR. I replied (admittedly tongue-in-cheek), exactly what I had had in mind and offered an alternative method to both fix the link AND include your observation. The latter course been done by Geo.plrd, for which I now thank him. -- Rob Pommertalk 12:05, 18 April 2007 (EDT)

Welcome to my blog.
By way of introduction, I'm Andy Ford. I work as the roving reporter for the best fishing show on television – Tight Lines on Sky Sports
Here I'll be writing about some of the stuff I'm lucky enough to be involved with through my links to the programme.
'Tight Lines' is on every Friday on Sky Sports. If you miss it, you can catch some of the films we make here.
I travel all over Europe covering just about every possible aspect of angling, from coarse to sea, freshwater to salt.
Here you'll find my 'take' on a few things related to the sport, and the films I help make for the programme. All of the views and opinions expressed here are my own.
But what else? I'll also be posting links to films we show on 'Tight Lines' when they appear on our site. There will be links to a few of the older films we've made over the years too.
There are loads of different disciplines in our incredible, diverse and amazing sport.
Whether you fish on a river, a lake or in the sea, whether you want to catch carp, chub, trout, barbel, roach, bass, dace or pike. Pellet? Lure? Fly? Maggot? Boilie? Or half a frozen mackerel? Whatever you choose, and whichever species you are after, you've got one thing in common with every other angler out there.
There's one special moment for all of us which is without compare. It's the moment your float twitches, then dips, or when the bite alarm bleeps for the first time. The rod tip arcs around, or line starts peeling from your reel.
That heart-stopping, glorious moment, ladies and gentlemen, is called The Take.

Beyond Celiac CEO Alice Bast responds to "The Celiac Class Divide," published on Huffington Post.
By Alice Bast, Beyond Celiac CEO
In response to Chris Witte's Huffington Post "The Celiac Class Divide," let me offer some facts:
Celiac disease is a serious, genetic autoimmune disease that currently has only one treatment: strict adherence to a gluten-free diet. Celiac disease is real, and it is not rare. Just ask one of the estimated 425,000 Americans who have been diagnosed. Celiac disease, when untreated and undiagnosed, can have grave consequences for a patient's health and can kill. That can be a scary thought when you consider the 2.5 million Americans who are believed to unknowingly have celiac disease. Celiac disease can further complicate a person's health, and there's an established connection between celiac disease and other serious illnesses like cancer.
The struggles that celiac disease patients face play out over time. Some doctors tell us we're crazy, that our extreme pain and digestive problems will go away. The people around us tell us celiac disease doesn't exist. When we finally do receive a diagnosis – made by a physician after undergoing a diagnostic test – we try to comply with our treatment at the mercy of others who control the ingredients in the food and beverages we consume.
All the while, we have to bear the brunt of those who label us as faddists chasing a trend.
Diseases are not trendy. To say otherwise is callous and ignorant. We do not get to an official diagnosis of celiac disease on a whim but in consultation with medical teams.
True, many people without celiac disease follow a gluten-free diet at their own behest. But can you tell simply by looking at someone whether or not they have a flat intestinal villi and can't consume gluten without causing harm to themselves?
Despite these difficulties, the celiac disease community learns every day how to live life to the fullest and to advocate for better understanding of the disease amongst the medical community and public. The assertion that demand for gluten-free foods has made life more difficult for millennials is ridiculous. In fact, as a direct result of the work Beyond Celiac (formerly the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness), gluten-free packaged food and menu options are plentiful and affordable – the addition of gluten-free Bisquick didn't knock the regular version off grocery store shelves or make it more expensive.
Most importantly, these efforts have made access to the only treatment for this serious, genetic autoimmune disease that much easier for hundreds of thousands of Americans.
We've come so far in educating the public about celiac disease that responding to accusations that it's overblown or trendy is truly tiresome. That's a testament to the strength and perseverance of the celiac disease community and their dedication to educating others about what they deal with. Are there class issues involved in this discussion? Yes. They result from the disparity in access to healthcare in this country and the lack of understanding about the seriousness of many diseases.
Annoyance at a person or idea is sometimes rooted in a lack of empathy. When it comes to real people living with real diseases, a little compassion goes a long way.

CARL FROCH claims Anthony Joshua runs the risk of falling victim to wily Wladimir Klitschko's greater experience if he does not score an early KO.
The Cobra admits his fellow Brit has taken a huge risk in facing the veteran in just his 19th professional fight.
And Froch warned the undefeated IBF world heavyweight champ that he is facing by far his most dangerous opponent when he defends his title for the third time on April 29.
Keep up to date with ALL the latest boxing news, gossip and rumours
He said: "This fight is his acid test. It's a dangerous opponent to get into the ring with for just his 19th fight – somebody who has had 68 fights and was unbeaten in 10 years.
"Joshua needs to bring his A-game, settle down, use his feet and put him under pressure without doing too much.
"It could be a demolition job if he comes out and catches Klitschko or it could also be a really awkward night.

"He could end up getting beaten on points by the older, wiser more experienced man. It's a really tough one to call. This is a dangerous fight for Joshua and a big risk.
"He's looking good sparring, I've seen him with a couple of lads from Eastern Europe and I'm impressed with what I'm seeing. But nobody's invincible we know that, Mike Tyson got knocked out."
"He could end up getting beaten on points by the older, wiser, more experienced man. It's a really tough one to call. This is a dangerous fight for Joshua and a big risk.
"He's looking good in sparring, I've seen him with a couple of lads from Eastern Europe and I'm impressed with what I'm seeing. But nobody's invincible. we know that. Mike Tyson got knocked out."
Froch originally believed 2/5 favourite Joshua, 27, could be in for an easy night against Klitschko, who has not fought since losing to Tyson Fury in 2015.
But he has come to believe 41-year-old Dr Steelhammer – who claims to be "obsessed" with victory – could prove especially dangerous as he bids to secure his legacy in front of 90,000 at Wembley.
The retired super-middleweight king added: "When I first found out the fight between Joshua and Klitschko was made, I thought it would be a bit of a one-sided win for Joshua.
"But the more I see of Klitschko, I just think this is his last chance.
"I've been there at Wembley Stadium in what in my head was my last fight and I knew I had to win because I'd be remembered for this fight. It didn't matter that I was fighting a guy 10 years my junior.
"I just thought I'm going to train to make sure I'm the best I can be and do the job – and that's what I did. If Klitschko turns up motivated, and he says he's obsessed, this could be really bad news for Joshua.
"If he jabs and moves, uses his reach and his wealth of experience in the ring, Joshua could have a really bad night, come unstuck and end up losing."
Froch believes Joshua's 100 per cent KO record will have his rival scared but that may end up coming back to bite him.
He explained: "I don't think he's going to be able to catch Klitschko as cleanly as his other opponents because he's better than anybody he's ever fought.
"I'm not sure he's a one-punch KO man at the top level, he got [Dillian] Whyte out when he was exhausted.
"Don't get me wrong, if he hits you on the chin with a clean shot he's going to knock you out but he's not got Tyson punch power.
"Klitschko does get knocked out when he gets hit on the chin so he fights a little bit scared – on the back foot.
"That means Joshua is gonna struggle to land the blows. He'll make it difficult, it's how Joshua copes with that, not landing his big shots, not getting in range and having it his own way."
AJ claimed in the build-up that he wants to become a BILLIONAIRE.
And while he believes the rising star should add another victory, Froch insists the Watford big-hitter still has it all to prove.
He added: "On paper Joshua shouldn't be ready for Klitschko unless he really is the big deal. I think he is, but I can see how this could go wrong for him.
"If he thinks 'I'm going to be a billionaire, unbeaten star' and he gets knocked down a peg or two and loses, only time will tell how he recovers.
"I lost to Mikkel Kessler and I was wounded but I got straight back on the horse and fought for a world title and won it back. That's my character.
"We don't know how Joshua would respond to a loss. We've not really seen him in a hard fight except for Dillian Whyte.
"His hardest fight was against somebody who went the distance with Dereck Chisora, who got knocked out by David Haye."
Carl Froch was speaking at the partypoker MILLIONS Event, Dusk Till Dawn Nottingham. For information visit www.partypoker.com

Mexico City police on Thursday freed 107 people who were forced to work under slave-like conditions in a clandestine factory making shopping bags and clothing clasps, authorities said.
Police raided the factory, which was hidden inside an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center, after a worker escaped and informed authorities, Mexico City Attorney General Miguel Angel Mancera said. Twenty three people were arrested for human trafficking.
"The victims were being exploited and some were sexually abused," Mancera said. Many were suffering from dehydration and malnutrition, and some had cuts and broken bones.
Most were from indigenous communities and didn't speak Spanish. They were abducted or lured from communities across Mexico and taken to the St. Thomas-The Chosen by God rehabilitation center, Mancera said.
|Suspect members of a gang that allegedly traficks with people are shown to the press in Mexico City, Thursday, Dec. 3, 2009
The freed workers, whose ages ranged from 14 to 70, were forced to work for 16 hours a day, with just a 30-minute break. Mancera said they were fed chicken feet and rotten vegetables.
Mancera said the rehabilitation center in Mexico City's populous Iztapalapa district had been open for at least eight years. But he didn't say for how long the factory had been operating or where the shopping bags and clothing clasps were sold.
He didn't say how many were men and how many were women.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Dialog Semiconductor expects revenues to grow in the mid-teens next year after a $600 million deal with Apple to transfer patents and programmers key to making the iPhone's main power chip.
Dialog semiconductor logo is pictured at a company building in Germering near Munich, Germany August 15, 2016. REUTERS/Michaela Rehle
The landmark deal buys time for the Anglo-German chip designer, which relies on Apple for three-quarters of sales, to reinvent itself as a more diversified firm that will target new markets such as the Internet of Things.
"Our custom, configurable and programmable design expertise, coupled with our ability to quickly and reliably ramp to high-volume production, enables us to serve an increasingly broad customer base," Chief Executive Jalal Bagherli said in a statement.
Dialog's shares jumped by a third on Oct. 11, the day of the Apple deal, and gained another 9 percent on Wednesday after it released forecast-beating results and gave an upbeat outlook for the final quarter of 2018.
Bagherli was due to hold a strategy briefing with analysts in London on Thursday and ahead of the event the company provided its first guidance on its outlook for 2019. The Apple deal will not have any impact on the current year.
The company said overall revenues for 2019 would be roughly in line with this year's forecast of $1.46 billion. On a like-for-like basis, after stripping out the operations that will go to Apple, the top line will grow in the mid-teens.
With the Apple deal proceeds adding to the $617 million already on hand, Dialog said it had the financial flexibility to pursue growth, including through mergers and acquisitions, while continuing its policy of returning capital to shareholders through share buybacks.
Dialog said on Wednesday it would spend up to 150 million euros on buying back nearly a tenth of its shares.
Dialog's guidance for 2019 telegraphed a message of continuity. The company expects underlying gross margins of between 47 and 48 percent, a fraction below its third-quarter performance of 48.6 percent.
It sees underlying operating margin of between 18 and 23 percent, compared to a third-quarter outturn of 21.8 percent.
Dialog, which has no chip production assets of its own, is more tied to the fortunes of Apple than it is to the broader semiconductor industry cycle, where Korean electronics giant Samsung Electronics has warned that a two-year boom in memory chips could be ending.
It wants to shake off that image by deploying its expertise in so-called mixed-signal integrated circuits – which can handle both analogue and digital signals – to capture new market opportunities.
Dialog claims market leadership in rapid-charging and configurable mixed-signal circuits that are used, for example, to power up smartphones. It is number two in Bluetooth low-energy products that connect wearable devices like fitness trackers.
It said that in future it would focus on the Internet of Things – the online link-up of everyday objects via embedded communications technology – mobile, automotive, and computing and storage markets.

(Legal malpractice, tax relief)
by Brian Mahany
There probably isn't one late night television viewer in the U.S. that has not seen an ad for tax relief. Roni Deutch and her claims of paying the IRS just pennies on the dollar, American Tax Relief and J.K. Harris are probably familiar to most. Unfortunately, most of these TV hucksters promoting tax relief are simply frauds.
What is so troubling is that these companies prey on people already in trouble. Most people unable to pay their taxes are already struggling financially. To then find out that the $10,000 or so up front fees paid to one of these tax relief companies is simply money wasted is devastating.
In October of this year, a federal judge finally shut down American Tax Relief. Earlier this summer, California Attorney General Jerry Brown sued attorney Roni Deutch for allegedly scamming clients out of $34 million in fees. And 18 states have pursued J.K. Harris for false and misleading ad claims. What does this mean for consumers who owe taxes?
The IRS does have programs to help delinquent taxpayers settle their tax debts. Although most accountants and lawyers are not familiar with the IRS' offer and compromise program, there are many that can. The rules are a bit complex and the process can take 2 years but it is possible to make peace with the IRS and not lose everything.
Before signing up with a tax relief company, ask some questions and get the answers in writing. Be especially wary if the company wants all its fees to be paid up front. Nationally, the IRS acceptance rate of tax settlement offers is very low, primarily because of the many tax relief scams out there. These scams often rely on extensive late night television advertising. Most of these companies have a very low acceptance rate and some never even submit a plan or follow up with the IRS.
A good accountant or lawyer who is familiar with the process often has a success rate well above 50%. That doesn't mean every taxpayer can get away with paying just "pennies on the dollar." A reputable professional can review your situation and tell you fairly accurately how much you will need to offer in order to have your offer accepted.
In successfully seeking to shut down American Tax Relief, the Federal Trade Commission noted that the company had even failed to pay its own taxes.
Attorneys Brian Mahany and Christopher Ertl have a combined total of decades of experience helping people with tax problems. We assist businesses and individuals with a wide range of tax problems including offers and compromises, collections issues, tax liens, audit defense, tax court litigation and defending against criminal tax charges. Call the tax lawyers at Mahany & Ertl today – from our offices in Milwaukee, Wisconsin we help people anywhere in the nation.

11 Mar · GelatoMyWay · No Comments
Hello ,
You might already know that my name is Valentina.
This year I decided to celebrate Valentine's day with a special recipe, so "hot" You'll not be able to resist it :
hot chocolate cake accompanied by creamy vanilla gelato (home-made italian ice cream) and flavored with hot pepper oil.
Ingredients for the cake (dose for two):
75 gr of dark chocolate
40 gr of butter
45 gr of sugar
15 gr of flour (I replaced it with gluten-free flour)
1 egg + 1 egg yolk
vanilla or vanillin
butter and cocoa powder to line the molds.
First of all chop the chocolate and place it in bain-marie to melt it with the butter.
Meanwhile, in a planetary mixer, break the egg and add the yolk and mix with sugar and vanilla (You can also use an electric mixer) until it becomes frothy.
At this point add melted chocolate and butter , then add the flour, stirring constantly.
As I said I used gluten-free flour to let Alessandra, our team member, who is celiac, to taste and evaluate the cake.
Turn on the oven and bring temperature to 180 °C, grease molds with butter and coat with flour and cocoa powder.
Put the mixture into the molds leaving about 1.5 cm of free space from the edge and place in the oven for 13/15 minutes.
Always cook only one first to assess the degree of cooking of your oven; each oven is different from the other.
These cakes are great to keep in the freezer for unexpected guests, consider 2/3 more minutes of cooking .
Vanilla Gelato
½ l. milk
65 gr. + 100 ml liquid cream
125 gr. of sugar (if available, replace 50 gr. of sugar with dextrose)
15 gr. of milk powder
3 gr. of stabilizer
Pinch of salt
Mix all dry ingredients together, then add the liquid and mix well after adding half vanilla bean and seeds thereof.
Put in a saucepan and heat to 85 °C with the help of a thermometer.
Allow the emulsion to cool down, in the meantime, turn the gelato maker machine and add 100 ml of cream.
Stir for about 30/40 min. or until you see the well mounted Gelato.
Let stand for about 1 hour in the freezer.
Take a deep dish (which You previously kept for about 10 minutes in the freezer) and arrange the cake in the center, next 1 or 2 Gelato balls .
Add some petals of red rose as decoration .
Pour a few drops of hot pepper flavored Ronci olive oil and taste this really tasty and surprising combination!

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:18
This verse has some very important points regarding our lives as Christian. It speaks of our dramatic transformation from being enslaved to the old man of sin, to becoming more and more what God has destined us to become by His eternal counsel.
First, there is the phrase But we all, meaning this transformation of living a sanctified life is necessary of every Christian. If you are not living a life that is in correlation with the law of God, then there is reason to call into question your Christianity. A true Christian will live a life that is radically changed from what it was when he was a sinner. A true Christian will bear fruits of righteousness. He will no longer watch the trash in the secular entertainment of the world, nor will he partake in the idolatry that is prevalent among so many people today. He will not follow this or that famous Hollywood star that lives a life that is the complete opposite of Biblical morality.
Rather with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord. The open face here is in reference to when Moses after he had come down from Sinai had to cover his face with a veil because the glory of God shone from it. The Jews could not look upon that face, because Christ had not yet come. Still today, the heart of unbelievers is veiled as the apostle tells us in verse 15, "But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart." But Christians are able to behold as in a glass (a mirror) the glory of the Lord. What a wonderful benefit we have received from Christ's death!
Further, the transformation we go under is because of our beholding. It is by regular beholding and gazing upon the glory of the Lord that we are changed. This means that we must continually be searching the Scriptures, reading the Scriptures, mediating upon the Scriptures, and hearing the preaching of the Word; one of the chief means of grace. It is by this that we are changed. That is one of the reasons the Roman Catholic Church fell so heavily. It abandoned the Word of God for the councils of men and the word of the pope. Also, we are not changed by reading this or that "get help" book. Most of these books are so convoluted that they tell man to look inside himself for the answer to his problems. "You just have to believe in yourself!" What utter trash! Since when has fallen, depraved man ever been able to help himself?
The text makes is clear that it is only by beholding the glory of the Lord that we are changed. That is further explained by the last part of the text, "are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." This radical transformation from a life full of sin, to a life of holiness is only possible by the Holy Spirit working in our hearts to change us. A man can read the Bible thousands of times, but if he does not have the Holy Spirit working faith in his heart, he might as well be reading the Koran. The word changed in the Greek is also in the passive voice. A better translation of that phrase would be, we all . . . are being changed. This means that we are not the ones doing the changing, as the Arminian loves to think. Rather it is the Holy Spirit working within us that brings about this change.
May we more and more read our Bibles that we may, by the work of the Holy Spirit, live a life that is in conformity to the will of God.
