Very comfortable shoes
"These shoes were very comfortable. I was able to wear them for 5 hours the first time I put them on. They're conservative enough for work, but the patent leather look in yellow and cork platform added a big pop to conservative tailored dress. Rocking them with shorts and blazer next...only reason they're not getting a 5th star is because one shoe was a wee bit stretched out like it was the display model."

Super cute but a little painful.
"I'm not sure if it was just the pair I received or all of this style, but the strap that crosses from the little toe across the foot to the inner arch of the foot on the left shoe was cut and seamed in a strange way so it bubbled out when it was worn. I loved the shoes so much that I took them to a shoe repair shop and just had them corrected so Now they're perfect. Even with the repair price, I still spent less than the original suggested retail."

Bright Shoe!
"This shoe is pure yellow and quite cute. Goes with dresses and jeans. I'd say average in the area of comfort because of where the strap cuts across the foot. After wearing awhile, it leaves a mark. However, they aren't painful to wear so that's why I went with an average. They turn heads and get compliments so they are fun to wear out. I love them."

A comfortable shoe
"I have a hard time finding comfortable heels. However, these are great! I am able to stand in them all day at work without feeling any discomfort. I bought them in the yellow and red. Love both colors!! The only downfall is that they are a little too shiny for my liking."

Support Our Capital Campaign
Here We Stand is our first capital campaign in nearly forty years of ministry.
Launched in late 2008, the funds from the Campaign for Ligonier Ministries have established a new campus for Reformation Bible College and Ligonier operations. Continued gifts will be used to meet the needs of our growing student body by providing a student learning center to include a library, additional office and classroom space, and café. It is also a priority to retire the mortgage on this property to release operating funds for greater ministry outreach.
Planned Giving
Several gift planning options are available. The right one for you depends on your particular circumstance.
You may choose to give through stocks and securities, your retirement plan, charitable gift annuities, corporate matching, or by including Ligonier in your estate.

- Providing audio and video resource materials to believers around the world;
- Delivering free 24-hour Christian internet radio;
- Producing and distributing Tabletalk magazine;
- Publishing new book titles through Reformation Trust Publishing;
- Offering an online learning community with Ligonier Connect;
- Hosting a variety of conferences.
We also use funds received for the necessary daily operations and administrative costs of the ministry as a whole. We always use designated gifts, or gifts given in response to particular appeal, in keeping with the purpose for which they were given.
Your Gifts Also Support:
Reformation Bible College
This bold, new venue for ministry allows us to engage in face-to-face instruction and fellowship with students in a community of learning. A place to help strengthen conviction and resolve in the lives of laypeople, pastors, and the next generation of young adults. Through our various programs, we strive to equip students with theologically sound teaching and a deep understanding of Scripture. We pray that this will not only be an effective setting for local learning, but also a new launching pad for Ligonier's global outreach.
Global Outreach
Ligonier is tapping into missions and local church efforts to create strong and effective partnerships throughout the world. Many Christian leaders abroad have read or heard Dr. Sproul and have translated his teaching into their language through various publishers or on their own, filling a great need for classical biblical teaching. Due to varying translation standards across these efforts, Reformation Trust Publishing monitors and guides the quality and continuity of this international material. So far we have successfully translated many resources by R.C. Sproul, Steven Lawson, Sinclair Ferguson, Joel Beeke and others. However, there is still much to do. We intend to continue translating audio transcripts for over 150 different teaching series. The main series, with nearly 60 segments, are Dust to Glory: An Overview of the Bible and Foundations: An Overview of Systematic Theology. Both of these series are at the core of the current German and Spanish language projects.
Military Chaplain Outreach
Ligonier Ministries Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is a charter member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability. Each year an independent accounting firm audits our financials. Annual reports are available here.

Massachusetts gambling regulators voted unanimously Tuesday to allow a casino proposal at Suffolk Downs race track to go forward. But there's a hitch.
An earlier proposal from Suffolk Downs to build a casino on the border of Boston and Revere was approved by Revere voters but rejected by East Boston voters. So the track regrouped and introduced a plan to build a casino just on the Revere side of the property.
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission okayed that, but said Revere needs to hold another citywide referendum on the new plan.
"In a deeply imperfect and challenging situation, I think this is about as creative and fair a solution as one could come up with," said Stephen Crosby, the commission's chair.
Casino opponent Celeste Myers says the gaming commission should not have allowed Suffolk Downs to proceed without the support of East Boston.
"They should have told these folks it's a failed application. Go back to the drawing board," Myers said. "The goal of the gaming commission is to maintain the integrity of the process. They're off on the wrong foot."
Myers said her group is considering its legal options.
Dan Rizzo, the mayor of revere, said the city remains excited about a Suffolk Downs Casino.
"I'm very, very hopeful and confident when they do go back out and vote that they vote in the same numbers in the same way they did back on November 5th," Rizzo said.
Revere voters approved the initial plan 61 to 39 percent. The new referendum will likely be scheduled for the middle of February.
The only other contender for the sole Eastern Massachusetts casino license is a Wynn resort proposed in Everett.

Size 13 is easily a 14-14.5 when I put them next to my other size 13's. Unless you have a foot that runs slightly larger than a normal 13, order the 12. The rest of the fit is true to the scale.""

"Work is Love Made Visible." --Kahlil Gibran
Photography has filled me with purpose and joy, and taken me places I never thought I'd go. I have covered three U.S. presidents, been blessed by the Pope, and been stared down by Muhammad Ali. I've shared a laugh with Smokey Robinson, and had a picture I took of him used when he received a lifetime achievement award. I've photographed a 110-year-old woman as she told me what it was like to climb onto the torch of the Statue of Liberty. I was chosen as the only independent photographer allowed near Obama and McCain in their last meeting before the 2008 election. I'm the only photographer in the world to have been officially represented by the three largest photographic retailers in the Western hemipshere. Heck, I've even had a photographic technique named after me (which is crazy).
But I have never felt so blessed by photography as when I am photographing a wedding. At weddings, we are most visibly ourselves -- the walls we walk around with come tumbling down under the forces of joy, anxiety (and sometimes a bit of alcohol). To document that experience, the relationship of friends, families, and a couple launching a new stage in their life, is an incredible feeling. When a client says "This is the first picture I've seen of my parents that actually looks like them!" I feel like I've done something with lasting value. After years of shooting and more than 550 weddings under my belt, I still find each one to be more exciting than the last, and try to make each one the best one that I've ever photographed.
All I care about is getting the best photos for you possible. I don't care about beauty rest, I don't want to be checking my watch while great moments are happening behind me, and I don't want you to worry about my schedule. Right from the start, you get everything you need for gorgeous, comprehensive wedding photography, with NO limit on time and NO limit on images taken. And there are no hidden costs; your images are yours to integrate into your life and keep safe for future generations.
All wedding packages include:
Full-day coverage with Ryan and Tatiana Breslow
Your own password-protected and customized Web site
A day-of slideshow, allowing for a set of images available within days after the wedding!
All files in high resolution on hard drive -- no watermarks
Everything you need for coverage and peace-of-mind for $6800 (plus applicable sales tax).
We also offer a wide range of extras, from engagement shoots (which come with a $250 print credit for couples who book a wedding with us) to a hilarious and fun portable photo studio. Any physical products sold by our studio are guaranteed to be awesome, and if they come from the printer not-awesome for some reason, we send it back and make sure it is awesome.
Full price-sheet available upon request
Helen - Wow Soooo beautiful!!!

Combating Crepey Skin
While fruit-filled crepes may be delicious-looking, crepey skin is not.
Crepey, or waffley skin is loose wrinkled skin characterized by skin surface sagging reminiscent of thin pancake-like crepes.
This article will discuss:
The Causes and Effects of Crepey Skin
Crepey skin is caused by a variety of factors that include:
- Gravity
- Decrease in the production of collagen and elastin molecules
- Sun damage
- Environmental factors
- Smoking
- Rapid and extreme weight loss
- Dehydration in the skin
The undesirable effects of crepey skin include:
- Sagging skin
- Deep lines and wrinkles
- Loose folds of skin
- Crinkly texture to the skin
- Lack of radiance
Crepey skin symptoms can be found in the face, around the eyes, and on the neck.
Solutions for Crepey Skin
Despite the fact that many of the causes of crepey skin can't be avoided, their effects can be remedied. Dr. Perricone offers several products that can help your skin regain firmness and improve its texture.
Some of the topical treatments offered by Dr. Perricone that address crepey skin symptoms include:
- Neuropeptide Facial Conformer
- High Potency Eye Lift
- Firming Neck Therapy
- Cold Plasma
These treatments work to combat the appearance of crepiness in the skin.
This topical cream rehydrates and re-energizes your skin through the power of neuropeptides. It helps to smooth out the lines and wrinkles associated with crepey skin as well as increase skin firmness.
The crepey skin around the eye can be lessened with this intensive eye lift cream. It lifts the skin around the eyes to minimize wrinkles and puffiness. The High Potency Eye Lift utilizes Pycnogenol to help renew collagen and elasticity to tighten and tone skin around the eye which can reverse the effects of crepey skin.
The presence of crepey on the neck can be reduced through the Palmitoyl Carnosine, Phospholipids, and Tocotrienols found in the Firming Neck Therapy cream. This formula helps to tone, tighten, and improve elasticity. It also can smooth the neck creases characteristic of crepey skin.
Cold Plasma
Cold Plasma is a universal skin care product that uses a biochemical individual system that acts on your individual needs. It provides nutrients to your skin cells and combats signs of aging including fine lines and wrinkles, firmness and elasticity.

Huge pressure and huge output - that's the name of the game when you combine the Eccotemp L10 with the small but powerful Flojet 2.9 GPM 50 PSI. With almost twice the GPM of its smaller sibling the Eccotemp L5, the L10 has long been the high volume portable water heater of choice for cabins, lake houses and base camps. But if your little piece of outdoor paradise doesn't include a water faucet, then you're out of luck. This is where the Flojet Water Pump, a perfect fit with the L10, comes in. With its 2.9 GPM 50 PSI specs, this powerful little pump stands up to the high volume output of the L10 and will turn any container or body of cold water into instant, hugely pressurized, hot water. Add the Flojet Inlet Strainer into the mix and not only will that freezing lake water turn into a nice steaming hot shower, it will also be free of dirt and rocks and other debris. Straining out the debris will also keep your pump running at peak condition by preventing unnecessary breakdowns. When facilities are lacking, keep your L10 running at maximum capacity with the Flojet 2.9 GPM 50 PSI.
• 2.65 GPM flow capacity
• Adjustable temperature from 80 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit
• Equipped with standard ½" NPT
• Fitted with a stainless steel rain hood
• Uses 2 "D" cell batteries for flame ignition (3V)
• 1 year warranty
• Auto cut-off safety design: will shut-off gas supply immediately in case flameout occurs to reduce risk of gas leakage
