+Clean Description
How to clean silk shoes? That's difficult, as silk can't easily be cleaned -- UNLESS IT IS PROTECTED IN ADVANCE. The first step is to protect the shoes so that they won't easily get dirty. And if the protection is done correctly, silk can be cleaned. Oil based protective sprays like this for materials including cotton and leather usually also work with silk.
To apply, spray the protection on the surface of the shoes to create a layer that will repel water and grime. Whichever brand you choose, make sure it is designed to protect material.
To clean after the protection is in place, dab a small amount of clear detergent on a damp white towel and gently tap on the dirty area. Still, take care. Suzhou Cobblers products aren't waterproof. Our products aren't usually suitable for foul weather and the protection won't help much on a rainy or snowy day.

Rick Santorum and his campaign will likely look back on Michigan's 2012 primary not only as a heartbreaking loss in the battle against Mitt Romney but also as a historic lost opportunity.
The upstart former senator from Pennsylvania was within a few percentage points of toppling the wobbly frontrunner in a state that really mattered.
Unlike his earlier wins in caucus states (Iowa, Colorado, Minnesota) and a nonbinding "beauty contest" (Missouri), a win in Michigan meant a real cache of committed delegates.
Moreover, as Romney's native state and home of his political clan, Michigan had been a cornerstone of his inevitability narrative. To lose it was unthinkable, but how much worse to lose it to Santorum — an also-ran ignored by rivals and reporters alike for months?
The entire political industry had been poised for weeks for a Santorum breakthrough in Michigan, not quite believing it could happen but believing the polls that said it could. Even after a disappointing debate performance on Feb. 22 and a series of unforced errors, Santorum remained in close contention in Michigan. A win for him there would have transformed the conversation about this nomination. It is possible Romney would not have recovered.
But that was not to be. In his zeal, Santorum dissed JFK's legendary 1960 speech on religion and called President Obama a "snob" for talking up college education. He also continued to pursue the issue of birth control and government, making his point about religious liberty but also highlighting his own traditional ideas about contraception.
How much did these issues matter? In Michigan, Santorum nearly matched Romney vote for vote among men. But he lost by 5 percentage points among women. In the end, he lost the state by 3 percentage points.
Did he get the message? You only had to hear his concession speech, in which he lavished praise on his wife and his college-educated mother, who made more than his dad. The word contraception did not feature in his lengthy remarks.
This was not the first time this season that Santorum has blown a chance to turn the tide. In Iowa, he finished in a dead heat with Romney (a later count showed he had actually won by a handful of votes) but was unable to capitalize on that win a week later in New Hampshire (he finished fifth with less than 10 percent).
He got the endorsement of a key group of evangelical heavyweights, who voted for him overwhelmingly at a mid-January meeting in Texas. Yet he made almost no use of their effort in losing South Carolina, where he came in a distant third.
The news that Santorum had actually won the Iowa caucus on Jan. 3 was bad news for Romney. But it never really gave Santorum much of a lift.
All that seemed to change on Feb. 7, when Santorum won the caucuses in Colorado and Minnesota and the nonbinding primary in Missouri. On the strength of this showing on "Trifecta Tuesday," Santorum eclipsed Newt Gingrich as the leading anti-Romney candidate.
Michigan gave him a perfect opening to make good on that placement. But as soon as the path became clear, Santorum seemed to wander off.
The irony is that Santorum may still claim a share of the victory in Michigan. The delegates there are being allocated almost entirely by congressional district. So even in losing the statewide vote, Santorum could win narrow victories in seven or eight of the 14 congressional districts. If he does, he will have no worse than a tie in delegates won.
But it will not matter so much once the cameras have moved on. What Santorum lost, one more time, was the chance to throw a knockout punch and have it land on Romney's big glass jaw.
If Romney finally steadies himself and carries his reluctant Republican Party to victory in November, many will marvel at how close his candidacy came to collapse in February.

"When Trayvon Martin was first shot, I said that this could have been my son," President Obama told reporters Friday afternoon. "Another way of saying that is Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago."
In extensive and personal comments concerning last Saturday's not-guilty verdict for George Zimmerman, the Florida neighborhood watch volunteer who shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon in February 2012, the president said he wanted to add "context" to what's become an intense national discussion about the case and race relations.
"When you think about why, in the African-American community at least, there's a lot of pain," Obama said, "it's important to recognize that the African-American community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences and history that doesn't go away."
Obama said that "there are very few African-American men in this country who haven't had the experience of being followed when they go shopping. That includes me."
He said many African-American men have heard car locks click when they cross a street — "that's happened to me." And he spoke of African-American men getting on elevators to see "a woman clutching her purse nervously and holding her breath until she has a chance to get off."
"Those sets of experience inform how the African-American community interprets what happened one night in Florida," said the president.
Adding that he doesn't want to "make excuses" for the fact that young African-American men are "disproportionately ... both victims and perpetrators of violence," Obama also wondered whether if Trayvon had been a "white teen" instead of a young African-American, "from top to bottom both the outcome and the aftermath might have been different."
As for how to respond, Obama:
-- Said violent protests would dishonor "what happened to Trayvon Martin and his family."
-- "Stand your ground" laws and any others that might "encourage" altercations rather than diffuse them need to be reexamined.
-- The nation needs to do some "soul searching."
He ended, though, by saying Americans should not "lose sight that things are getting better. ... Each successive generation is making progress in changing attitudes on race."
He sees that in his own daughters, Obama said: "They're better than we were."
Update at 7 p.m. ET. Trayvon's Parents Praise President's Words:
"President Obama sees himself in Trayvon and identifies with him," the young man's parents say in a statement released Friday afternoon. "This is a beautiful tribute to our boy."
Robert Zimmerman, whose brother George is the man who shot Trayvon (George Zimmerman says he acted in self defense and a jury found him not guilty of murder or manslaughter) told Fox News he welcomes the president's words. "The American people need to have some time to digest what really happened and to do that soul searching the president spoke of," he said.
Update at 2:55 p.m. ET. Text Of The President's Remarks.
We've posted a copy of the president's statement, as transcribed by the White House, and put it in the box below:

Chapter 1
Judgment for spiritual adultery--The restoration of Judah and Israel
1:1 The word of the Lord that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel:
1:2 The beginning of the word of the Lord by Hosea: And the Lord said to Hosea, Go take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms; for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the Lord.
1:3 So he went and took Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, which conceived and bare him a son.
1:4 And the Lord said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
1:5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
1:6 And she conceived again and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah; for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel, but I will utterly take them away.
1:7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the Lord, their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
1:8 Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived and bare a son.
1:9 Then said God, Call his name Lo-ammi; for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.
1:10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered. And it shall come to pass that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
1:11 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land; for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
Chapter 2
Judgment for idolatry--God will covenant with his people
2:1 Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi, and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
2:2 Plead with your mother, plead; for she is not my wife; neither am I her husband; let her, therefore, put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts,
2:3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
2:4 And I will not have mercy upon her children, for they be the children of whoredoms.
2:5 For their mother hath played the harlot; she that conceived them hath done shamefully; for she said, I will go after my lovers that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
2:6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
2:7 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them but shall not find them; then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband, for then was it better with me than now.
2:8 For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.
2:9 Therefore will I return and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
2:10 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
2:11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease--her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
2:12 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me. And I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
2:13 And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgot me, saith the Lord.
2:14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
2:15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
2:16 And it shall be at that day, saith the Lord, that thou shalt call me Ishi and shalt call me no more Baali.
2:17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
2:18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground; and I will break the bow, and the sword, and the battle out of the earth and will make them to lie down safely.
2:19 And I will betroth thee unto me forever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving-kindness, and in mercies.
2:20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness; and thou shalt know the Lord.
2:21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the Lord. I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
2:22 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
2:23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people. And they shall say, Thou art my God.
Chapter 3
Desolation of Israel comes before restoration
3:1 Then said the Lord unto me, Go, yet love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the Lord toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods and love flagons of wine.
3:2 So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for a homer of barley, and a half homer of barley;
3:3 And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man; so will I also be for thee.
3:4 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim;
3:5 Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord, their God, and David, their king, and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the latter days.
Chapter 4
People are destroyed for lack of knowledge
4:1 Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel; for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
4:2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
4:3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and everyone that dwelleth therein shall languish with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
4:4 Yet let no man strive nor reprove another; for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
4:5 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night; and I will destroy thy mother.
4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me; seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
4:7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me; therefore will I change their glory into shame.
4:8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
4:9 And there shall be, like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways and reward them their doings.
4:10 For they shall eat and not have enough; they shall commit whoredom and shall not increase because they have left off to take heed to the Lord.
4:11 Whoredom, and wine, and new wine take away the heart.
4:12 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them; for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.
4:13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks, and poplars, and elms, because the shadow thereof is good; therefore, your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
4:14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery; for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots; therefore, the people that doth not understand shall fall.
4:15 Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal; neither go ye up to Beth-aven nor swear, The Lord liveth.
4:16 For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer; now the Lord will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
4:17 Ephraim is joined to idols; let him alone.
4:18 Their drink is sour; they have committed whoredom continually; her rulers with shame do love; give ye.
4:19 The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
Chapter 5
Israel shall fall because of their iniquities--God will return when they confess their offense
5:1 Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you because ye have been a snare on Mizpah and a net spread upon Tabor.
5:2 And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.
5:3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me; for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.
5:4 They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God; for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord.
5:5 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face; therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.
5:6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the Lord, but they shall not find him. He hath withdrawn himself from them.
5:7 They have dealt treacherously against the Lord, for they have begotten strange children; now shall a month devour them with their portions.
5:8 Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah; cry aloud at Beth-aven after thee, O Benjamin.
5:9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke; among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
5:10 The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound; therefore, I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
5:11 Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment because he willingly walked after the commandment.
5:12 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
5:13 When Ephraim saw his sickness and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian and sent to King Jareb; yet could he not heal you nor cure you of your wound.
5:14 For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah; I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.
5:15 I will go and return to my place till they acknowledge their offense and seek my face; in their affliction they will seek me early.
Chapter 6
God calls Israel to repentance
6:1 Come, and let us return unto the Lord; for he hath torn and will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
6:2 After two days will he revive us; in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
6:3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord; his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
6:4 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? For your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.
6:5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth; and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.
6:6 For I desired mercy and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
6:7 But they, like men, have transgressed the covenant; there have they dealt treacherously against me.
6:8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity and is polluted with blood.
6:9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent; for they commit lewdness.
6:10 I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: There is the whoredom of Ephraim; Israel is defiled.
6:11 Also, O Judah, he hath set a harvest for thee when I returned the captivity of my people.
Chapter 7
Reproof for manifold sins
7:1 When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without.
7:2 And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness; now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.
7:3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
7:4 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough until it be leavened.
7:5 In the day of our king, the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
7:6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven while they lie in wait; their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
7:7 They are all hot as an oven and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen; there is none among them that calleth unto me.
7:8 Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
7:9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not; yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.
7:10 And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face; and they do not return to the Lord, their God, nor seek him for all this.
7:11 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart; they call to Egypt; they go to Assyria.
7:12 When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them as their congregation hath heard.
7:13 Woe unto them, for they have fled from me! Destruction unto them because they have transgressed against me! Though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
7:14 And they have not cried unto me with their heart when they howled upon their beds; they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.
7:15 Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
7:16 They return, but not to the Most High; they are like a deceitful bow; their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue; this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
Chapter 8
Destruction is prophesied--Israel is scattered among the Gentiles
8:1 Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the Lord because they have transgressed my covenant and trespassed against my law.
8:2 Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
8:3 Israel hath cast off the thing that is good; the enemy shall pursue him.
8:4 They have set up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, and I knew it not; of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
8:5 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them. How long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
8:6 For from Israel was it also; the workman made it; therefore, it is not God; but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
8:7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind; it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal; if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
8:8 Israel is swallowed up; now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
8:9 For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself; Ephraim hath hired lovers.
8:10 Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them; and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
8:11 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
8:12 I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.
8:13 They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings and eat it; but the Lord accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity and visit their sins; they shall return to Egypt.
8:14 For Israel hath forgotten his Maker and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities; but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
Chapter 9
Israel is cast off for their corruption
9:1 Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people; for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God; thou hast loved a reward upon every corn floor.
9:2 The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.
9:3 They shall not dwell in the Lord's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.
9:4 They shall not offer wine offerings to the Lord; neither shall they be pleasing unto him; their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted; for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the Lord.
9:5 What will ye do in the solemn day and in the day of the feast of the Lord?
9:6 For lo, they are gone because of destruction; Egypt shall gather them up; Memphis shall bury them; the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them; thorns shall be in their tabernacles.
9:7 The days of visitation are come; the days of recompense are come; Israel shall know it; the prophet is a fool; the spiritual man is mad for the multitude of thine iniquity and the great hatred.
9:8 The watchman of Ephraim was with my God; but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.
9:9 They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah; therefore, he will remember their iniquity; he will visit their sins.
9:10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at her first time; but they went to Baal-peor and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.
9:11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
9:12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left. Yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
9:13 Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place; but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
9:14 Give them, O Lord. What wilt thou give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
9:15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them; for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house; I will love them no more; all their princes are revolters.
9:16 Ephraim is smitten; their root is dried up; they shall bear no fruit; yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
9:17 My God will cast them away because they did not hearken unto him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
Chapter 10
Israel is reproved for idolatry
10:1 Israel is an empty vine; he bringeth forth fruit unto himself; according to the multitude of his fruit, he hath increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land, they have made goodly images.
10:2 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty; he shall break down their altars; he shall spoil their images.
10:3 For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the Lord. What then should a king do to us?
10:4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant; thus, judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
10:5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Beth-aven; for the people thereof shall mourn over it and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it--for the glory thereof--because it is departed from it.
10:6 It shall also be carried unto Assyria for a present to King Jareb; Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
10:7 As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.
10:8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed; the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us, and to the hills, Fall on us.
10:9 O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah; there they stood; the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.
10:10 It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows.
10:11 And Ephraim is as a heifer that is taught and loveth to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck; I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.
10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness; reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek the Lord till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
10:13 Ye have plowed wickedness; ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
10:14 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled as Shalman spoiled Beth-arbel in the day of battle; the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.
10:15 So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness; in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
Chapter 11
Israel's ingratitude--God's mercy
11:1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him and called my son out of Egypt.
11:2 As they called them, so they went from them; they sacrificed unto Baalim and burned incense to graven images.
11:3 I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
11:4 I drew them with the cords of a man, with bands of love; and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.
11:5 He shall not return unto the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king because they refused to return.
11:6 And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them because of their own counsels.
11:7 And my people are bent to backsliding from me; though they called them to the Most High, none at all would exalt him.
11:8 How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? How shall I deliver thee, Israel? How shall I make thee as Admah? How shall I set thee as Zeboim? My heart is turned toward thee, and my mercies are extended to gather thee.
11:9 I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger; I will not return to destroy Ephraim, for I am God and not man--the Holy One in the midst of thee; and I will not enter into the city.
11:10 They shall walk after the Lord; he shall roar like a lion; when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.
11:11 They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will place them in their houses, saith the Lord.
11:12 Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah yet ruleth with God and is faithful with the saints.
Chapter 12
Ephraim and Judah are reproved
12:1 Ephraim feedeth on wind and followeth after the east wind; he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians; and oil is carried into Egypt.
12:2 The Lord hath also a controversy with Judah and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
12:3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God.
12:4 Yea, he had power over the angel and prevailed; he wept and made supplication unto him; he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us,
12:5 Even the Lord God of hosts; the Lord is his memorial.
12:6 Therefore turn thou to thy God; keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually.
12:7 He is a merchant; the balances of deceit are in his hand; he loveth to oppress.
12:8 And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich; I have found me out substance; in all my labors they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.
12:9 And I that am the Lord, thy God, from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.
12:10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions and used similitudes by the ministry of the prophets.
12:11 Is there iniquity in Gilead? Surely they are vanity; they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.
12:12 And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
12:13 And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
12:14 Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly; therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him.
Chapter 13
Ephraim's sin--God's anger--Redemption promised
13:1 When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.
13:2 And now they sin more and more and have made them molten images of their silver and idols according to their own understanding--all of it the work of the craftsmen; they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
13:3 Therefore, they shall be as the morning cloud and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
13:4 Yet I am the Lord, thy God, from the land of Egypt; and thou shalt know no god but me; for there is no savior beside me.
13:5 I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
13:6 According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
13:7 Therefore, I will be unto them as a lion; as a leopard by the way will I observe them;
13:8 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps and will rend the caul of their heart; and there will I devour them like a lion; the wild beast shall tear them.
13:9 O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help.
13:10 I will be thy king. Where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities, and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?
13:11 I gave thee a king in mine anger and took him away in my wrath.
13:12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.
13:13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him; he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.
13:14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death; O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction; repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
13:15 Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come; the wind of the Lord shall come up from the wilderness; and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up; he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
13:16 Samaria shall become desolate, for she hath rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword; their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
Chapter 14
A call to repent and receive God's blessing
14:1 O Israel, return unto the Lord, thy God, for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
14:2 Take with you words, and turn to the Lord. Say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously; so will we render the calves of our lips.
14:3 Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods; for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.
14:4 I will heal their backsliding; I will love them freely; for mine anger is turned away from him.
14:5 I will be as the dew unto Israel; he shall grow as the lily and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
14:6 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
14:7 They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn and grow as the vine; the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
14:8 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him and observed him; I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.
14:9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things--prudent, and he shall know them? For the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them; but the transgressors shall fall therein.

I'm pretty confident that if you asked anyone who has ever owned a rental property you would get an overwhelming response that it's not as lucrative or easy as they thought it would be. In fact, owning a rental property can be a major pain, and end up costing you a ton of money!
I certainly don't mean to be a "Debbie Downer", and I know that if it's done right it can be lucrative, but from an insurance agent's perspective, I don't see a lot of people doing it right.
So you're probably thinking, "Well Chris, you are an insurance agent. What do you know about real estate or rental properties? Why should I take advice from you?"
I'm not a real estate agent, and I don't own a rental property. However, several of my friends/family/clients/co-workers own rentals, and because I insure a bunch of their properties, I've had a first hand account of the process, and I've learned what to do, and what not to do.
1.) Do your due diligence on the rental property
This is undoubtedly the biggest mistake I see landlords make. They are in such a rush to make money, they don't pay enough attention to the property. I get it–you want to buy the cheapest property possible so you can turn the biggest profit. The problem with that is, the property is cheap for a reason. It has problems–lots of problems.
Many people buy properties in low income areas, with hopes of re-painting the walls every 5 years and making some rent money. The problem is, that's the exact type of property that insurance companies don't want to take a risk on.
Be very careful with the "as-is" property too. Unless you have money to burn, stay away. You are almost always going to spend more money than you think. Most "as-is" properties are either forecloser's or properties that have been vacant/abandoned.
If you don't know what to look for in a rental, hire a trusted 3rd party home inspector and make sure everything, and I mean everything checks out. Don't leave any stone unturned.
Everything must be up to code before you have a tenant in the house. Period. If it's not, make it up to code.
In particular, you need to make sure the wiring, plumbing, heating, and roof are all "problem-free", and that they've been upgraded or updated within the past 10 years. I've seen more problems with those three things than anything else, and you are putting yourself (lawsuit), and your tenant at risk if they aren't in good working condition.
And whatever you do, make sure there are no mold problems. Don't just assume there isn't. You need to test the house, and document it. Mold can kill–literally.
Of course, you may want to walk away from a property because it might be cost-prohibitive to bring everything up to code, and that's something that only you can decide, but before you buy a rental property and put get a tenant, do your due diligence on the home.
It's worth the time and effort.
2.) Have written contracts in place
Find a lawyer and pay his/her fee. Trust me it's worth it. You can't just tell your tentant, "You break it, you buy it". You need to have a written rental contract and lease in place.
If at all possible, don't sign less than a 12 month lease, and make sure your tenant thoroughly understands the terms of the contract. Don't be lazy and just have them sign it without explaining everything first.
You can save yourself a lot of time, money, and hassle if you do this, and it will show the tenant that you are serious, and that they will be held accountable for the property.
3.) Thoroughly screen your tenants
Rarely have I seen someone screen their tenant(s). Most landlords are so worried about getting someone in the property to pay rent, that they fail to check the people/person out.
At the very least, you need to make sure your tenant is carrying their own renters insurance (HO4 policy). Let the tenant know that your insurance doesn't cover them whatsoever.
Really what you should be doing is checking their credit and also checking for any criminal activity. These are reports that cost very little up front, and will give you great piece of mind knowing that you have a trustworthy, reliable tenant.
Whether you allow pets and/or smoking is up to you, but I'd be careful with both, because in the end, they could cost you money if you have to repaint, replace carpeting, etc. They could also potentially result in liability exposure with dog bites, and house fires.
4.) Make sure you have rental property insurance
Having the correct type of insurance for your rental property is paramount. The problem is, most people don't know that they need a certain type of policy.
You can not buy traditional homeowners insurance for a rental property. What you need is called a "Dwelling Fire" policy, or sometimes it's referred to is a "Landlord" policy.
Keep in mind that the underwriting for rental properties is generally a little tighter, and the coverage isn't as broad as what you would find in a traditional homeowners policy. As I mentioned before, many people buy properties in low income areas, with hopes of re-painting the walls every 5 years and making some rent money.
The problem is, that's the exact type of property that insurance companies don't want to take a risk on.
Still you must buy this type of policy for a rental. Do not buy regular homeowners insurance because it is not designed to insure a non-owner-occupied home, and your claim would almost certainly be denied if you had the wrong policy.
Another thing you need to be aware of, is that most Dwelling Fire/Landlord policies state that if a property is vacant/un-rented for more than 30 consecutive days (with some companies it's 60 days), coverage can be severely reduced and even eliminated, so make sure if it's a rental property, don't let it sit vacant too long.
If you think it will be vacant for more than 30-60 days, you need to let your insurance carrier know that, because that situation would most likely call for a different type of Dwelling Fire policy.
5.) Keep tabs on your rental property
I've had people call me for quotes for their rental properties, and when I begin to probe them on the construction information, they know absolutely nothing about the house.
Some people don't know whether the house is brick, siding, or what it's made of. They don't know how old the roof is, or the last time the heating was updated.
Folks, if you own a rental property, you need to know all of these things.
I had someone one time who had purchased a home from a contractor who had flipped it, and hadn't even seen the house once. He bought it on the word of the contractor, and knew nothing about it except that he wanted to rent it out as soon as possible. That is well, not very smart. You shouldn't be trying to get insurance on a house you haven't seen yet.
You need to keep tabs on your property.
Keep records of all repairs, and make sure you physically visit or at least drive by the property every 3-6 months or so to make sure everything is in good working order. Remember, this is an investment. You need to maintain and take care of the property just as if it was your primary residence.
Owning a rental properties can be a lucrative business that can generate a lot of passive income, however, if you don't abide by these 5 rules, it could end up being a royal pain, and cost you a lot of money in the process.

An alcohol rehab program includes medical and psychological treatments to help individuals overcome their physical and mental dependency on alcohol and any underlying mental health issues contributing to their addiction. Alcohol rehab can take place in either an inpatient or outpatient setting, depending on the patient's needs.
Inpatient programs provide 24-hour care and a structured environment, while outpatient programs allow patients to receive treatment during the day while continuing their everyday activities. At our Alcohol Rehab in Lake Sherwood, we offer comprehensive alcohol rehab treatment tailored to meet each individual's needs. Our highly trained specialists provide individualized treatment plans that focus on the physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects of alcohol addiction.

Symptoms of Alcohol Addiction
Alcohol use disorder is a chronic mental health condition that affects an individual's physical and psychological well-being. It is characterized by compulsive drinking despite the negative consequences. Common symptoms of alcohol addiction include:
- Consuming copious amounts of alcohol
- Loss of control in regard to drinking
- Inability to stop drinking despite wanting to
- High tolerance for alcohol
- Drinking when you likely shouldn't be, such as before work or in the morning
- Inability to meet obligations at work, school, or home
- Signs of withdrawal when not drinking
- Mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and lethargy
- Physical and psychological dependence on alcohol
The most common signs of developing alcohol addiction include:
- Drinking more alcohol than intended or for longer periods
- Unable to cut down on drinking despite wanting to
- Spending a lot of time getting, using, and recovering from the effects of alcohol
- Cravings for alcohol and increased tolerance levels
- Continuing to drink despite knowing it is causing physical, psychological, or social problems
- Giving up activities that were once important to drink
- Drinking when it is unsafe or illegal to do so, such as before driving.
If you or a loved one is experiencing any of these symptoms, it's important to seek help from a professional treatment provider as soon as possible. At Gloria Detox and Rehab Center in Lake Sherwood, we are committed to helping individuals who suffer from alcohol use disorder get the treatment they need.
Causes of Alcohol Addiction: Does My Loved One Have a Problem?
Alcohol use disorder is a complex disease that develops over time as an individual's alcohol tolerance increases and addiction sets in. While many factors can contribute to the development of alcohol addiction, some common causes include the following:
Genetic predisposition
Alcohol addiction can be hereditary, meaning if someone in your family has struggled with alcohol addiction, it's more likely that you may struggle with it as well.
Environmental influences
Your environment or upbringing can play a role in the development of alcohol addiction. If someone grows up around substance use disorder or experiences traumatic events, they are more likely to turn to alcohol for comfort and self-medication.
Mental health conditions
Mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety can lead to alcohol abuse in an attempt to cope with the symptoms of the disorder.
At Gloria Detox and Rehab Center in Lake Sherwood, we understand everyone's recovery from alcohol and drug addiction is unique. The treatment team at our inpatient rehab in Lake Sherwood, California, is dedicated to providing personalized treatment tailored to each person's needs.

Risk Factors of Alcohol Addiction
Alcohol addiction can have serious consequences on an individual's physical and mental health.

Common risks associated with alcohol addiction include:
- Liver disease
- Cardiovascular disease
- High blood pressure
- Cancer
- Cognitive decline
- Depression and anxiety

- Homelessness
- Mental illness

Managing drug and alcohol withdrawal can be uncomfortable and extremely dangerous without professional help. A drug or alcohol detox program provides a safe and comfortable environment while your body rids itself of drugs, alcohol, and associated toxins. Our detox program provides support and counseling services that can help you stay positive, motivated, and focused on the end result throughout this difficult process.

It is essential that individuals who struggle with addiction to alcohol receive a personalized addiction treatment plan. At our drug rehab in Lake Sherwood, we understand that everyone's alcoholism is unique and requires a different approach to overcome. Patients will work with counselors and therapists to create a treatment plan for their recovery journey. This may include alcohol detox, individual, group, and family therapy, art therapy, evidence-based therapies, motivational enhancement therapy, mental health services, dual diagnosis treatment, clinical services, and more. The most important factor is that the person struggling with alcoholism feels comfortable with their treatment plan and is willing to follow it through.
Drug Addiction Treatment Community Support
The importance of community support in substance use disorder treatment programs cannot be overstated. It is one of the most important factors in a person's success while in addiction treatment. Substance abuse rehab can be a difficult time, both mentally and physically, and it is crucial that patients have a strong support network to rely on while in substance abuse treatment. The community at a drug rehab can provide patients with much-needed support to help them make it through withdrawal symptoms. Patients can lean on their peers in the community for emotional support, advice, and friendship. These relationships can help patients through tough times and make the experience more enjoyable while improving the odds of long-term recovery.

How Much Does Rehab Cost?
The cost of rehab depends on a few factors, such as the type of treatment an individual needs, their insurance plan, and the duration of their stay. Inpatient rehab programs typically cost between $5,300 to $80,000, while outpatient detox programs can range from $250 to $800 per day. Most inpatient programs include detox in the total cost of the program, which can vary depending on the substance and withdrawal symptoms. When side effects require more monitoring and supervision, the price may increase. Outpatient treatment can cost between $1,450 to $11,000 for three months, while an intensive outpatient program can cost between $3,100 to $10,000 for 30 days.
The cost of rehab also varies based on the specific drug being treated. For example, according to a report by the US Department of Defense, rehab for opioid addiction costs about $6,552 per year for methadone-assisted treatment, $5,980 per year for buprenorphine-assisted treatment, and $14,112 per year for naltrexone-assisted treatment.
Additionally, the level of luxury and amenities provided by a rehab facility can affect the overall cost of treatment. Luxury rehab centers can cost up to $100,000, while some programs are offered for free.
Many rehab centers offer a sliding fee scale, payment plans, and scholarships to help make treatment more affordable. It's also worth noting that many insurance plans cover at least a portion of the cost of rehab. Ultimately, the cost of treatment depends on various factors, such as the type and intensity of care (inpatient care, intensive outpatient program, outpatient treatment, etc.) needed. The cost of rehab in Lake Sherwood, California, can vary widely, and it is essential to ask questions before making a decision.

The days of "ink on paper" fingerprinting are quickly going the way of snail mail. The Postal Point offers the next generation of fingerprint technology—Digital Fingerprinting in The Postal Point. Unlike ink-on-paper fingerprints, digital fingerprints can be transmitted electronically and shared among agencies. It is more efficient and cost-effective, so many states, federal agencies, and industries no longer accept ink-on-paper—they now require digital fingerprinting. If you're a part of certain agencies or industry groups, you will probably need to get "digitally fingerprinted" as a requirement of your employment or participation.
The Postal Point has the advanced equipment and software necessary for digital fingerprinting in Pilot Point, TX.

There are many ways you can save money when you are looking to sell your house in Metro Detroit. In our latest post, we explore how you can cut costs on the sale of your home or investment property.
Selling a home in the Metro Detroit area can be expensive. While some properties perform very well on the MLS, with little cost, others require much more work. Below are some great ways you can save money when selling your Metro Detroit area property.
Work With A Direct Buyer
Working with a direct buyer will help you avoid all costs you would typically encounter when selling your house with an agent. By avoiding the MLS, you save on all kind of expenses typically associated with a property listing. Of course, not all buyers are the same, but if you choose to work with a buyer such as M1 Home Buyers, you will be able to avoid commissions, repairs, and even closing costs. We won't ask you to clean up or show the house. There are no marketing costs to factor in or other selling expenses to worry about. Plus, by selling quickly, you will no longer have to pay ownership and maintenance costs such as the monthly utilities, property taxes or homeowners insurance.
Sell Your House On Your Own
Selling the house on your own via an FSBO listing can help you avoid the commission costs you would typically pay an agent. To sell your house as a "for sale by owner" property, it is important to have some real estate knowledge under your belt. You should know the local market, have a realistic asking price, and be able to professionally show the house as needed. It can require many hours of work, and typically FSBO's take longer to sell than working with an agent or selling via a direct sale to a professional buyer.
Clean Thoroughly
Should you decide to list, the house should be thoroughly cleaned. You will want to go beyond just a standard cleaning, taking it to the next level cleaning things such as the ceiling fans, the tops of cabinets, and stains from the carpets. Many people choose to hire a team of professionals for a true deep cleaning of the home. Keep in mind that when you list, you will need to keep the house in this clean state for as long as the property is on the market.
Choose The Right Repairs And Upgrades
When making repairs and upgrades to a house you wish to sell, it is important to choose the right ones. You don't want to make large renovations or repairs that are going to break the bank. Instead, focus on smaller things and projects you can quickly handle on your own. Two great areas to focus on are the front yard and the entryway. These two areas provide first impressions and set the tone for the rest of the showing. You are looking for things you can do for a low cost that provide a big impact. You will want to stay away from knocking down walls or doing a kitchen renovation.
Sell Your House In "As-Is" Condition
When you choose to sell your house in "as-is" condition, you will avoid any repair costs that come up when selling the house. M1 Home Buyers will buy your house as-is, or you could choose to advertise it in a listing as such. The trouble is, you may not be getting it in front of the right buyers should you put it on the MLS. Most people looking on the MLS want a house that they can immediately move-in to.
Know Your Buyers And Market Accordingly
When you know who is buying in the area, it makes it easier to market to them. Families are looking for different things than college students are. Empty nesters might be wanting something slightly different than young, singles. Take a look at the demographics of buyers and renters in the area and market your Metro Detroit house accordingly. By attracting the right people to your house, you will have a much easier time selling it.
Utilize Free And Low-Cost Marketing
While many listing sites charge an arm and a leg, you can use social media sites to advertise your property for free or for a very small charge. People are visiting these sites anyway, so right away you are getting the house in front of many people without even trying. You could advertise your property for sale on Facebook and in local real estate groups. Or you could use great photography, advertising the property on Instagram with the proper hashtags. Some people will create videos to share on youtube or other social sites.

As huge fans of Pinterest, we're always eager to read the year-end wrap-up and predictions of what will be trending on the platform in the new year ahead.
The beauty of Pinterest is that so many of the projects on display are DIY-able, meaning huge savings over hiring someone to do the work for you.
In fact, searches for DIY projects on Pinterest made up 83 percent of all home searches in 2018. Remodeling and landscaping were popular as well.
So, what are Pinterest's prognostications for 2019? Read on and find out.
Your walls
Pantone is the undisputed leader when it comes to showing us the Color of the Year. In 2019, it's "Living Coral," so don't be surprised if your neighbor paints her dining room a peachy orange.
Pinteresters, on the other hand, are opting for yellow. And, not just your standard sunny yellow, but "bold mustard yellow walls," according to the platform's "Pinterest 100-The Top Trends for 2019.
Searches for "mustard yellow" were up 45 percent.
But new wall covering doesn't necessarily have to be of the latex variety. "People are wrapping up their walls – and themselves—in fabric for a textured, artsy aesthetic," according to the report.
They may just be onto something with that. Many designers are predicting the return of wallpaper in 2019. Today's wallpaper, however, should be one with bold patterns and bright colors.
Consider geometric patterns for the kids' rooms (searches on Pinterest for geometric décor are up a whopping 1,178 percent).
Once you've decided on wall covering, it's time to turn your attention to what to hang on those walls. Naturally, Pinterest offers their 2019 obsession: textile art. Searches for the term have increased nearly 2,000 percent and you'll find inspiration here.
Or, if you prefer green, consider a vertical indoor garden. There are lots of ways to approach this trend. Check out some of the ideas at Decoist.com.
Under foot
There's no need to rip out the old vinyl flooring; just paint right over it. Keep the colors bold (the theme for 2019, apparently) and consider mosaic patterns.
The secret is in the stencil you choose and, thankfully, there are many. Check out what some of Pinterest's DIYers are doing with stencils and paint on a dated floor.
Succulents have been at the top of the must-have list for a couple of years now, but 2019 sees the trend moving more niche, to cacti. Searches for cactus arrangements have more than doubled at Pinterest and here's a sample of what they find.
The great outdoors
Outdoor living spaces are popular with homebuyers and homeowners alike. The outdoor fireplace, as long as it's "modern and sleek" is what they'll be clamoring after in 2019, according to Pinterest.
This trend is, of course, useless to homeowners whose beloved garden is of the cottage or other less-modern style.
So, turn your attention instead to the aforementioned vertical garden. Whether you intend to cover an entire wall or create a privacy screen, you'll find gorgeous inspiration on Pinterest.
We've saved the best trend (in our opinion) for last. If you're considering the addition of a swimming pool, forget the chemicals and consider a natural swimming pool.
This trend has been simmering on the back burner for a year or so now and trendwatchers expect it to move front and center this year.
These low-tech alternatives offer not only that luxurious sensation of swimming in the wild but can be tailored to your particular landscaping style and the size of your yard. From huge ponds to plunge pools, we hope the natural swimming pool is a trend that's here to stay.

Movie Marquis Cookies
Sugar pearls and frosting sheets help make these.
Lobster Toppers
