DETROIT — In late 2001, news that a well-known Pentecostal preacher had converted to Catholicism electrified the Catholic Church in the United States.
That one minister had converted was not necessarily newsworthy. Protestant pastors come into the Church every year.
What caught people's attention was that Pentecostal preacher Alex Jones came in with his wife, Donna, and nearly their entire flock at Detroit's Maranatha Church.
Sadly, Jones — who later received ordination to the diaconate — died of a heart attack Jan. 14 at age 75. He is survived by Donna and their three sons.
"He was having some problems on that Saturday [before his death and complained of] not feeling well," said Jones' friend and autobiography ghostwriter Diane Hanson. "They took him to the hospital, and after running blood tests, the doctors thought he had some kind of leukemia. Later that day, he had several heart attacks."
"He was a brilliant man," Hanson said, the "kind of person I would want to live next door to."
"His mother was a very strong personality," she continued. "And he was raised to be a good Christian. He didn't like going to church, but he always went, and his mother told him that if he wanted to learn to drive, he had to drive her to church."
His attitude toward religion changed after he attended a revival one summer: His experience there was so moving that, from that "point on, during his teen years, he was a very strong Christian," Hanson explained.
But, like a lot of Pentecostals, Hanson said, Jones "heard a lot of anti-Catholic things" along the way.
As a result, she said, "He would talk about [how he used to call Catholics] the 'frozen chosen.' He did not have a good view of" Catholicism.
Inspired by the Church Fathers
Coming into the Catholic Church was probably the last thing that Jones, a retired public-school teacher and minister from 1975 through 2000, would ever have imagined.
But in 1998, he began a study of the Church Fathers in order to create a worship service at his church that mirrored that of the earliest Christians.
The more he studied, the more he began to see that early worship greatly resembled what he knew of the Catholic Mass. He approached his congregation and asked if they would like to join him on this journey of discovery. Part of that journey was a sort of field trip the flock made as a group to an Easter vigil Mass, which many left many profoundly moved. Thus, while some left because they didn't want to follow where Jones was leading them, the majority agreed to have their minister teach them what he was learning — which led him to the Church.
One of his former congregants who converted to Catholicism, Gloria Yarber, called Jones her "spiritual father," and she contended entering the Church was not contentious.
"I think that it was a friendly thing," she recalled for the Register. "It was put to us [as an option]. The church [i.e., Maranatha] was being sold anyway, so the people who decided to come into the Catholic Church came. Others who were not going to come, there were other churches with which we were associated. So the people who decided that this wasn't what they wanted to do, they went elsewhere. Some people started their own ministry. But it was a brotherly situation, and I didn't come [across] any negativity."
Asked what Jones offered to them that persuaded them to make this monumental move, she replied, "The love of the presence of Christ in the Eucharist, the sacraments and the Church. That's what was added when we came into the Catholic Church: the traditions. A lot of us knew the Bible like the back of our hands. It was the traditions of the Church — there's so much to be learned in the Church, that I'll never learn it all. To go from a Bible-teaching church to the whole of the Church, that was something."
As Jones told Register correspondent Judy Roberts about his conversion in 2001, "How can you say, 'No' to truth? …
"It would be [a] mortal sin for me to know what I know and not act on it. If I returned to my former life, I would be dishonest, untrustworthy, a man who saw truth, knew truth and turned away from it, and I could just not do that."
Catholic Evangelist
After reception into the Church, Jones eventually pursued the diaconate.
Hanson, also a convert, recounted a conversation with Deacon Jones, where he stated, "You know, I don't know why God brought me into the Church so late. I might have been so" much more effective of an evangelist for the faith as a priest. She told him that his entry may have been late, and "you would have made a great priest," but "think of how many souls you have been able to touch."
Indeed, from the moment he became Catholic, Jones began appearing at conferences and parishes, giving missions, enabling him to touch thousands of lives. He also hosted a series on EWTN, Wisdom From Above, focusing on the Epistle of St. James. And he told his conversion story on The Journey Home.
"I saw him this past summer at a men's conference in Modesto," said Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers, his friend, fellow speaker and EWTN guest. "I told him, 'I looked at your speaking schedule, and I notice you're kind of slowing down.' And he said, 'Yeah, I'm leaving it up to you young guys now.'"
In interviews with the Register, each person who knew Jones reflected on the courage he displayed in coming into the Church.
"Older people, [as] you get into your 50s, you move toward 60, you don't need to risk as much anymore," said friend and Ave Maria Radio host Al Kresta. "You can get by. You have your friends. You have your family. You've found your place. You've achieved some measure of success. You can kind of hold on to the end. Alex wouldn't have it that way. [Regarding] the ecclesial culture gap between where he came from and the Catholic Church: The only thing I can compare it to is like a hippie all of a sudden deciding he's going to go work for a Fortune 500 company. And he has to get all cleaned up, change his habits, change his manner, his communications skills, and, at the same time, bring his little company into it. It's a real shock, a real culture shock, and Alex, he did his best to bridge that gap. I don't know anyone who has done anything quite like this."
Indeed, that is what Deacon Burke-Sivers believes will be Deacon Jones' legacy: He exemplified what it means to "have courage to follow Jesus wherever he leads," a fortitude alluded to in the title of Jones' autobiography, No Price Too High.
Hanson said the example he left is his gift to the Church.
"We have to be [like] Alex was. He set a fire for the rest of us," and just like he was, "we have to be on fire for the Catholic Church."
Register correspondent Brian O'Neel writes from Coatesville, Pennsylvania.

The correct presentation of your house to potential buyers is very important. The best realtor will have problems presenting a dirty house that needs a lot of repairs. Even small repairs and/or house and yard cleanup can make a large difference. Shown below are some of the things that you might want to check yourself, because it is highly likely that potential buyer's will be looking at these areas.
Interior Checklist
Exterior Checklist
Pest Protection:
If you have a maintenance company spraying for pests on a scheduled basis, be prepared to show this contract to potential buyers, especially if there are warranties in the contract against wood damage.
Well Inspection:
If the water on the property is derived from a well instead of the public system, you may be required to obtain a water quality and well flow test. Even if not required, you may want to do this anyway as this is not something you want to have problems with.
Septic Inspection:
If the house is on a septic system and not public sewage, you may want to have this checked as it will probably be an important question asked by potential buyers.

ChargeBite Steals Juice from Other iPhones and Delivers It to Yours
When you think about it, most intuitive alternative chargers offered by third party companies are not very simple to use. They require you to either find another source of energy to generate electricity or deal with some messy wires. The case is a little bit different with our new little friend called ChargeBite. With this, you no longer need to wait for the sun to rise to generate some juice for your iPhone because it allows you to steal power from your pal's iPhone.
Of course, you don't have to steal it if he's your pal, right? You can simply ask him and see if he agrees to let you drain out a little juice from his iPhone so that you can use yours a little bit more. Compared to solar charger, this is certainly more helpful as it allows you to charge your iDevices anytime as long as you've got companies. No wonder, the creator calls ChargeBite as a social charger.
Currently, its campaign at Indiegogo has gone live. Tap on the video below to see if it's good enough for you!
As it stands today, ChargeBite also supports devices featuring a 30-pin port meaning it's only compatible with iPhone 4/4S. Getting it to support iPhone 5 will be quite a chore as Apple won't allow anyone to propose an alternative charger for their new flagship device. However, I do wish there will be a new model supporting microUSB to address Android users. Although iPhone still dominates the North American market, Android users steadily increase in numbers. Preorder it for $20.

Christmas in Dairyville
November 30, 2018 - December 2, 2018
Christmas in Dairyville 2018 begins November 30th-December 2nd and continues the following 2 weekends.
A HO, HO, HOLIDAY TRADITION. During the holidays, Dairyville, a replica of a western frontier town at Alpenrose Dairy, transforms into a winter wonderland. Animals are on display in nostalgic Storybook Lane, vintage storefronts, local choirs singing, holiday movies in the Opera House and, of course, Santa. Christmas in Dairyville is where lasting memories begin.
The history of Alpenrose Dairy dates back to 1891 when Swiss-born Florian Cadonau, began delivering milk in three-gallon cans by horse-drawn wagon from their dairy farm in southwest Portland to customers throughout the city.
In 1916, it officially became a family business when Florian's son, Henry Cadonau and his wife Rosina took ownership and named it Alpenrose Dairy. The Cadonau's chose the name Alpenrose after the Switzerland national flower, as a tribute to Florian and their Swiss ancestry.
Thirty years later, Henry's son, Carl Cadonau Sr., stepped in as the new head of Alpenrose and began hosting family-orientated events at the dairy, many of which remain Portland traditions to this very day.
In 1962, Alpenrose sponsored its first ever Easter Egg Hunt, inviting the whole community to take part as a way of thanking them for their support. The dairy is also home to Alpenrose Field, where the Girls' Little League Softball World Series has been held since 1993. Under Carl's supervision, the dairy processing facility moved, giving way to an ever-expanding campus. A Velodrome bicycle racing track, Quarter Midget Race Car track, western-town Dairyville and Storybook Lane, were all constructed as the former dairy became a hub for community events.
More than one hundred years later, Alpenrose Dairy remains a family-owned business led by Carl Cadonau Jr., Rod Birkland and many of Florian's great-great-great-great grandkids. Over six-generations of family members carry on the Alpenrose business. Continuing the Alpenrose tradition of providing local families with the finest and freshest local dairy products and maintaining the family's calcium-rich heritage.
Trying to decide what to do in Portland? Check out events like this one, just a short distance from our Portland luxury hotel. A stay at Hotel Eastlund means you'll be across the street from the Oregon Convention Center, next to the Moda Center and close to the best destinations, restaurants and attractions Portland has to offer. Whether you're here for business, pleasure or looking for an event space in Portland, we look forward to helping you discover this beautiful city.

- Expanded and strengthened patent coverage of pluripotent cell technology
"These 41 new patents are significant because they expand and strengthen
our intellectual property portfolio, which is an integral aspect of
BioTime's clinical development and commercialization strategy," said
Patent Coverage:
OpRegen® – 3 patents issued that provide protection for
OpRegen® in the U.S.,
Canada, and Hong Kongthrough 2031.
- Stroke – 1 new patent provides protection in the U.S. through 2031.
Pluripotent Cell Technology – 34 patents provide protection in the

About OpRegen®
OpRegen®, which is in a Phase I/IIa trial for the treatment of the dry form of AMD, consists of a suspension of Retinal Pigment Epithelial (RPE) cells that are delivered subretinally during a simple intraocular injection. RPE cells are essential components of the back lining of the retina, and function to help nourish the retina including photoreceptors. A proprietary process that drives the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells is used to generate high purity OpRegen® RPE cells. OpRegen® RPE cells are also "xeno-free," meaning that no animal products are used at any point in the derivation and production process. The avoidance of the use of animal products eliminates some potential safety concerns. Preclinical studies in rats have shown that following a single subretinal injection of OpRegen®, the cells can rapidly organize into its natural monolayer structure in the subretinal space and survive throughout the lifetime of the animal. OpRegen® is designed to be an "off-the-shelf" allogeneic (non-patient specific) product. Unlike treatments that require multiple, frequent injections into the eye, it is expected that OpRegen® would be administered in a single procedure. OpRegen® was granted Fast Track designation from the FDA, which allows more frequent interactions with the agency, and eligibility for accelerated approval and priority review. OpRegen® is a registered trademark of Cell Cure Neurosciences Ltd., a majority-owned subsidiary of BioTime, Inc.
BioTime is a late-stage clinical biotechnology company focused on
developing and commercializing products addressing degenerative
diseases. The Company's current clinical programs are targeting three
primary sectors, aesthetics, ophthalmology and cell and drug delivery.
Its clinical programs are based on two platform technologies:
pluripotent cells, which can become any type of cell in the human body,
and cell/drug delivery. Renevia®, a cell delivery product,
met its primary endpoint in an EU pivotal clinical trial for the
treatment of facial lipoatrophy in HIV patients earlier this year.
Submission for approval of Renevia® in the EU is expected to
be early 2018, with possible approval and commercial launch in 2018.
There were no device related serious adverse events reported. OpRegen®,
a retinal pigment epithelium transplant therapy, is in a Phase I/IIa
multicenter trial for the treatment of dry age-related macular
degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in developing countries.
There were no related serious adverse events reported. BioTime also has
significant equity holdings in two publicly traded companies, Asterias
Biotherapeutics, Inc. (NYSE American: AST) and
BioTime common stock is traded on the NYSE American and TASE under the
symbol BTX. For more information, please visit www.biotime.com or

Cancer | Individualized High Dose Methotrexate to Treat Cancer in Children Who Have a Significant Risk for Side Effects to Methotrexate
Cancer research study
What is the primary objective of this study?
Pediatric cancer patients are being asked to take part in this study who have a cancer that is treated with high doses of the drug methotrexate (MTX). In addition, these patients have either had significant side effects to methotrexate in the past or their doctor thinks that they are at high risk for side effects from receiving methotrexate. Methotrexate is a cancer-fighting drug that is very important in the treatment of leukemia. In this study, investigators are testing a new method of giving high dose methotrexate to cancer patients which may reduce the chances that the level of methotrexate in the blood is too high. When the levels are too high this is thought to lead to an increase in side effects. Side effects are unintended and unwanted results of treatment. The initial ordered amount of methotrexate and the period over which methotrexate is given will not change from the current standard of care (meaning what is usually done by doctors, and would likely be done if the patient was not on this study). This study is testing a new method of monitoring and potentially adjusting the final amount of methotrexate that the patient will end up receiving based on levels of methotrexate in the blood in the first 24 hours in order to try to prevent side effects in patients with a previous history of side effects from methotrexate or who are at high risk for having side effects. On this study the investigators will check methotrexate levels in the blood 2 hours after the patient starts receiving the drug and the investigators will lower the dose of methotrexate if needed. Investigators will do the same thing again 6-8 hours later. Investigators will also collect an optional blood sample from the patient because the investigators want to study how genetic (DNA) differences are involved in how the body processes methotrexate.
Who is eligible to participate?
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age: Patients must be greater than or equal to 365 days and less than 23 years of age at the time of enrollment. 2. Diagnosis: Patients with any malignancy who will receive high dose methotrexate (HDMTX) given as a 5 g/m2 infusion over 24 hours and a history of ≥ 1 of the following: - Documented decreased renal function, defined as Creatinine greater than 1.5 x baseline or glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <65ml/min/1.73m2. - History of prior nephrotoxicity with HDMTX as evidence by increased creatinine to 1.5 x baseline or need for dialysis or carboxypeptidase - History of Grade 3 adverse event (AE) related to HDMTX (mucositis, myelosuppression, nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity) based on the NIH Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 - Provider concern patient is at risk for MTX toxicity, such as a prior history of treatment with nephrotoxic chemotherapy, history of HDMTX-related neurotoxicity, or antimicrobial/antifungal therapy Exclusion Criteria: 1. Unable to draw labs for HDMTX serum concentration 2. Enrollment on a protocol (COG or other) which restricts proposed dose modifications 3. Patients with Trisomy 21 4. Patients with greater than grade 1 neurologic toxicity at the time of enrollment that is attributed to unresolved prior methotrexate toxicity 5. Patients with greater than or equal to grade 3 chronic kidney disease at enrollment (eGFR or creatine clearance (CrCl) less than 30ml/min/1.73m2)
Which medical condition, disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury is researched?
Study Interventions
Interventions can include giving participants drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available or noninvasive approaches such as surveys, education, and interviews.
Drug:MethotrexatePatients will receive 5g/m^2 high dose methotrexate as a 24 hour infusion. The methotrexate level in the blood will be checked at two times during the 24-infusion. The dose will be reduced based on the level in the blood.
Study Arms
Research studies and clinical trials typically have two or more research arms. An arm is a group of people who receive the same treatment in the study.

The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science
New Developments in Data Collection: Linking Data across Levels
Published in Association with American Academy of Political and Social Science
Social and behavioral scientists face challenges when collecting data in a meaningful, cumulative, and representative way. Big data—data as a result of our lives rather than designed for research purposes—is one of the most recent innovations in digital communication that has given researchers a new form of information to access.
In this volume of The ANNALS the task of linking a broad supply of information—from administrative data, to social media, to census and surveys, to ethnographic data, to data from randomized controlled trials—to address how humans and their communities make decisions is addressed. The importance of these linkages is demonstrated in the research that was presented at the New Data Linkages conference and is compiled in this volume.

Fly Butterfly, Fly!
Paperback, 46 Pages
Price: $25.92
Prints in 3-5 business days
Oyakudachi is a Japanese word which means "walking in the customer's shoes', an inborn exercise of our spirituality. Fly Butterfly, Fly! is the English version of 'Vuela Mariposa, Vuela', a simple story, seen from the experience of a little mouse, on the feelings of love that flood our hearts along life and turn into pain when the separation takes place. It shows us the different phases of sadness and the most common feelings during the process to develop mourning until we reach the time of its settlement. It includes a guide for parents and references to songs that help us to reflect. "I do not pretend to give advice, nor tell anybody what should be done, but share one of the ways I have found for my little daughter, but also for myself, to accept and let our butterflies fly."

Wenda's Fashion Blog
Who doesn't love a blog about the latest fashion trends, tips and tricks? Well I do! So enjoy this collection of posts from my columns on ITV Wales and Wales Online and ones which you'll only find here.< Back to Blog home page
Top 10 bag trends for spring/summer
BAGS are every girl's best friend. They reflect your style, show the world who you are and make you look unique, so it's essential that you choose a piece that is close to you.
The trend for handbags in 2012 seems to be "the bigger, the better". Today's on-the-go woman needs a handbag that can handle everything from make-up to mobile phones and every other electronic device she needs to keep her in the know and in touch while looking fashionable and irresistible.
But what will we be wearing in the arm candy department? Checkout my list of the hottest bag trends this season:
Bag trend #1: Knitted bags. Just as shoes come knitted, in spring/summer 2012 so do bags. Knitting looks unusual and stylish but you should be sure you have the right clothing to pair it with.
Bag trend #3: Printed bags. We're normally rather practical and choose bags which are more or less versatile. But designers are now advising us to be bolder and invest in bags which are not ordinary and those which feature interesting patterns.
Bag trend #4: Fold-over bags. Fold-over bags have been popular for a couple of seasons already and they will stay in fashion for the entire spring/summer 2012 season. They come in a great variety of sizes, colours and prints.
Bag trend #5: Small shoulder bags. Shoulder bags have always been in vogue, but this season only small shoulder bags will be trendy. And despite the fact they're called shoulder bags they can be carried in your hands as well.
Bag trend #6: Satchel bags. Satchel bags are very comfortable, and while they don't look big, they can hold plenty of things, making them best for those of us who like to have everything for every occasion in the one bag.
Bag trend #7: Wristlets. Wristlets, which are perfect for women who often lose things, will be very trendy this year. They come in a variety of designs and tones, especially ornate and embellished ones which are great for a night out when all you need is your lippy!
Bag trend #8: Totes and weekend bags. Opt for vibrant hues to stand out from the crowd or neutrals if you want a bag you could accessorise your every look with.
Bag trend #9:Tiny bags. Women have always loved small bags – they are good for special occasions and look interesting. But are you ready for a bag which is not small but tiny? Whether or not you are, these bags are to be a hit come summer.
Bag trend #10: Chain handles. Yes, since Chanel first introduced chain handles they have always been popular with fashionistas. The secret is simple – chain handles look even more luxurious than they really are.
Check out next week's column on how to wear the sports luxe look!

Yay! I'm so glad you and the little one are well. How exciting to be able to see your babe's features. Whatever decision you make, it will be the right one. : )ReplyDelete
Good luck with everything! Sounds like everything is coming together. I'm glad you and baby are doing well.ReplyDelete
Happy 100th post! I'm so glad it's such a happy one for you:) The job offer is exciting, but sounds like its gonna be a pretty tough decision. I don't envy you that! You'll make the right choice. Try not to stress too much and just focus on growing that little one right now.ReplyDelete

Happy 100! and yay for the little one!! So exciting to be at 12 weeks! :)ReplyDelete
Congrats on the job hun though I do not envy you that decision, that is tough. We are lucky enough to get statutory maternity and paternity in the UK, and although mothers through surrogacy aren't entitled to anything until the law changes in 2015 I know that we are still lucky that the law is about to change. I really hope that the decision comes easy to you!
Amen to the laying in bed all the time! Or rather, for me, it's been the couch. I'm 12w4d today and I actually almost feel like a normal person. I thought I had turned the corner about 2 weeks ago and then, bam! The nausea hit me like a ton of bricks on Friday. I'm so glad to be feeling better today - I hope your nausea doesn't return like mine did.ReplyDelete

The Court of Appeal seeks to clarify whether the CJEU intended to 'lay down mandatory requirements of EU law with which the national legislation of member states must comply' when the EU Data Retention Directive was ruled unlawful.
Stop-gap laws
The UK government drew up new stop-gap national data retention laws to replace existing rules which were deemed invalid in light of the CJEU's ruling, with the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act (DRIPA) coming into force in July 2014. The new law requires telecoms providers to record, store and release customer's private communications when requested by law enforcement agencies.
Observations too broad
Seeking to clarify the CJEU framework, the Court of Appeal said that 'critical observations of the CJEU' were too broad to be applied as a mandatory requirement in national data retention directives. Source: Out-Law.com

One of the keys to running a successful small business is the ability to efficiently handle account receivables, which is very important to providing a constant revenue stream for small businesses. There are a variety of aspects related to operating and maintaining good accounts receivables such as accounting software for keeping accurate financial records.
A popular method that many small businesses are using currently to help with maintaining and running an efficient accounts receivable component is by using invoice management software. In general invoice management software works in conjunction with accounting software or as a stand-alone software application to provide small businesses with a way of keeping accurate and up-to-date billing data regarding its customers.
Businesses can access all invoicing data through the computer system to make sure that all invoices are monitored, sent to customers, paid, and properly recorded. In addition with the ability to handle invoices through invoice management software, small businesses can have many benefits related to business operations. These benefits include:
1. A noticeable improvement regarding accounts receivables.
2. A significant reduction in past due invoices.
3. A significant increase in accounts receivables revenue.
4. A reduction in unpaid invoices.
5. A better internal understanding of business invoice processes and operations.

text: At around noon on november 7, 2018 approx. 7 miles east of nellis afb i was outside listening to the radio when i observed what, at first i thought was a very large metallic plane(747 or larger) with occasional reflecting lights coming from it. i couldn't really focus on it at first. it was about 2 miles north of me where i first observed the object/objects heading east. it seemed to be more of a blur at first so i grabbed my binoculars and watched it through the binoculars. that's when i observed it more clearly and realized that the reason i couldn't focus clearly on it was because it was a "group" of up to about 11 to 14 orb-like shiny metallic objects flying in a group continually changing positions within the group. they were traveling much faster than the jetliners which fly into or out of the airports in las vegas. the sun was behind me. for a moment i thought it was a group of jets flying in a very tight formation, but when i was watching them through the binoculars they appeared to be metallic shiny orbs with something protruding out of them at different angles. that many aircraft couldn't change position that quickly and fly so close to each other without some kind of mishap. plus, there was no sound coming from them. when i last saw them they had almost immediately changed into 2 strings with 3 or 4 of them on the top string and about 6, or more, of them on the lower string (upper and lower). the other 2 or 3 were leading the way in a curved pattern. trying to describe their last position is that if you draw a backwards "c" and add more to the lower part of the letter. draw it with double the length in the lower string as that of the top section. by the time i finally got out the camcorder they were long gone. on a side note: i don't use illegal drugs or use alcohol. also, i am a trained observer when i was a member of the civil air patrol.

Rustic Coffee Table with Shelf in Muted Aqua
This beautiful coffee table has been made from reclaimed wood and measures 40L x 22W x 17.5H and has been stained, painted and and treated with poly for its utmost protection. This piece is even more beautiful in person as it has so much rustic detail.
The color is original and is produced through mixing and blending throughout the painting process. I call it "muted aqua". It's bright enough to bring life to your space but not so bright that it takes over. It's the perfect blend of neutral and pop. Please keep in mind that our products are handmade from reclaimed wood so no two pieces will ever be the exact same. Also, old nail holes, knot holes and cracks can be expected and are a part of what adds the character to these one-of-a-kind pieces.
You can choose from square corners or rounded corners. Remember these are each made by hand so no two pieces will ever be exactly alike.

This little highlighter is my current love for a bit of a glow. I'm not always one to wear highlighter in the day for fear of the Cullen-glitter effect. But this one is so fine and pure shimmer, not glitter. The combination of pinks, bronze, white and champagne can be blended or used alone depending on the colour you want.
I decided to swatch each of the shades alone and also blended together. It tends to show that the pale white shimmer is the strongest one to come through so I tend to lean towards the pinker shades for daytime as it has a slightly more blusher effect rather than pure pale shimmer and highlight.
This highlighter is from the Laura Mercier Summer Jewel Collection – so it now being late September, I'm a tad on the late side talking about this one. But it's just become such a well-used product that I've been so busy using it I may have been a bad blogger and forgotten tot talk about it!
But the good news is that it's stil available to buy from the Laura Mercier website (£31).
On a slightly irrelevant note – I have to mention how much I adore the packaging of Laura Mercier products – I know it's simple, but I love it in it's sleek simplicity. There's something that just screams high-end luxe to me, but in an understated way. Just how I like it. So any other suggestions for products to try from the brand and I'd be interested to hear them – it's one I've only really dabbled in, in the past (their oil-free tinted moisturiser was a long-term favourite of mine when I was a little younger) but it's been a while so need to re-acquaint myself!

A recent report released by UK's Audit Bureau of Circulation (ABC), an organisation which keeps track of newspaper and magazine circulations, has revealed that Mail Online has emerged as the most popular newspaper website in the month of January, averaging 2.16 million unique browser views per day.
Mail Online has emerged as UK's favorite online news website after edging out Guardian.co.uk, which was the biggest UK news website in terms of unique users since September 2009. According the report, Mail Online registered a monthly increase of 13.52 percent and yearly increase of 56.8 percent in terms of unique browser visits.
The report released by the ABC focuses only on the average unique browser views received by a website in a day instead of recording monthly visits received by the website as it earlier used to do.
Commenting on the shift of methodology done by ABC, Emily Bell, the director of media content in Guardian News and Media Network, said in a statement that "GNM fully supports ABCe's decision to shift the focus away from the number of monthly unique browsers and on to daily figures. We are now a close second on the new headline average daily measure."
ABC also revealed that the third spot in terms of most popular news website went to the Telegraph, which was closely followed by Sun Online on the fourth position.

Prescott seller
Pam Winton and Don Jones surpassed all of my expectations for excellence and professionalism as Realtors/listing agents for the sale of my home. And, as a licensed Realtor myself, I know the importance of details, communication and consistent follow-through.
In a difficult real estate market for sellers, Pam and Don never lost their positive attitudes and motivation. They efficiently followed up with every agent who previewed and/or showed my home with phone calls and e-mails. They sent fliers and constant updates to hundreds of Realtors both in California and Arizona. Their constant communication with me regarding the ongoing status of both the listing and the escrow was superior.
I know that the successful sale of my home was directly related to the outstanding service provided by Pam and Don!

Transport Robert doesn't only rely on liquefied natural gas for its heavy trucks. For a year now, it has also used natural gas in its compressed form to fuels its fleet of forklift trucks. The new private station fuels some 20 forklifts at its main cross dock facility in Boucherville.
After having tried unsuccessfully to use electricity and after using propane cylinders for several years, the customer made the wise choice of choosing compressed natural gas (CNG). In this article, we will describe the many advantages stemming from this judicious decision, and we will also try to demystify this technology, which represents a responsible choice from an economical and an environmental point of view.
Several advantages
In Québec, only a few private stations fuel fleets of forklift trucks with CNG, while in Ontario they are counted by the dozen. However, this energy has many advantages, especially for fleets of more than 10 forklifts that operate continuously.
- Direct savings on fuel costs
The savings vary, depending on the costs of propane, diesel or gasoline as well as the quantity of fuel consumed. The savings have to be subject to case-by-case analyses.
- Better air quality
The CSST (Commission de la santé et de la sécurité du travail) prescribes a formula for evaluating the quantity of fresh air required when vehicles run on propane or gasoline inside a building. Some calculations show that up to 10 new air changes per hour would be needed to meet CSST requirements. This results in high heating costs. With CNG, the levels of CO and of NOx are considerably reduced when the vehicles motors are adequately adjusted. Air quality is thus increased and the costs of heating fresh air (now limited) are reduced.
- Significant reduction in risk of work accidents
Since CNG tanks are permanently fixed on the vehicle, no manipulation of cylinders is required.
- No competency certificate required
No competency certificate is required, contrary to refilling propane cylinders.
- No loss of residual energy in cylinders
To avoid forklift breakdowns, some operators replace the propane cylinders before they are empty, thus wasting residual energy. With CNG, the client pays the right price.
- Less than a minute needed for refuelling, leading to an increase in productivity
Some companies only replace propane cylinders when they are empty in order to use the maximum energy. Replacing cylinders not only increases work time, it also requires significant physical effort. Using CNG can lead to substantial productivity gains.
In sum, it is estimated that a fleet of 20 forklift trucks can, on average, generate 30% in savings (combined fuel costs and productivity gains). But, as indicated above, some parameters differ from one distribution centre to another. Moreover, this figure does not take into account the additional savings on the fresh air needed to meet CSST requirements, nor the costs avoided due to possible absences as a result of injuries. This estimate is even higher if other CNG vehicles are refuelled at the station (economies of scale).
State of the art CNG fast-fill station
While only one compressor may be sufficient, Gaz M√©tro Transport Solutions (GMTS), the contractor who built the station, chose to install 3 small compressors for maximum redundancy. These compressors each have a capacity of 24¬†Nm3/h. The units supply a bank of 3 stationary reservoirs, totalling 3 m3 water equivalent or about 890 Nm3 of natural gas at 250¬†bars (3600¬†psig). This is the pressure that the Natural Gas Vehicle and Fuelling Station Installations Code (CSA B108) authorizes for fuelling a vehicle at 21¬įC. The bank can, of course, handle greater pressure, assuming future growth in demand. The GMTS design team has, in fact, made provision for the customer to ultimately use CNG to fuel its yard vehicles (manoeuvring tractors and vans). A second refuelling station outside has already been installed for this purpose. As soon as demand increases, that facility will be ready to receive the equipment needed for cascade fast-filling.
Cascade fast-filling effectively prioritizes the maximum difference in pressure between the vehicle'Äôs tank and the bank. If the bank's¬†3 reservoirs¬†had the same pressure, the time to fill a truck would be longer since a pressure equilibrium between the¬†tank and the bank¬†would be reached after a certain time. However, with the filling managed by 3¬†reservoirs¬†at independent pressures,¬†filling time can be optimized.¬†A priority panel could be installed at a later date to make the cascade operable.
Safe installation
Such an installation calls for increased vigilance when it comes to respecting the codes described in this issue. GMTS worked in concert with the customer, who was responsible for the electrical connection and for the structure, in order to optimize the minimum physical clearances for all the equipment. Approvals of the installation by the municipality's fire department and regulatory authorities are also pre-requisites not to be overlooked. But one of the particularities of this project is the design of the CNG refuelling platform. It is juxtaposed with the compression station and the loading dock and has openings in walls and floor to provide sufficient natural ventilation. It could eventually be moved if the customer wants to enlarge the distribution facility.
Why not make the most of its private station faster?
The cost of converting a propane forklift truck to CNG is about $3,500. To maximize the CNG station so it can reach its full potential, why not increase the number of vehicles to be refuelled? The outcome will not only be lower fuel costs, but also fewer GHG emissions.

If one begins with an aside, does it count as an aside? Ah, may it be what it is.
I am sitting on the couch with Teresa boo, my sweet recently-turned-7-year-old Thursday night charge. We're watching Stuart Little, and for the record it's one of the sweetest, most well-written and intended childrens' movies I've ever seen. I should write a blog about it. This is not that blog.
Earlier, while playing beauty shop (getting red nail polish ALL over my foot) the following exchange occurred:
Me "Teresa, what is your favorite things about God?"
Teresa "That he is real."
That's it. Without blinking, thinking, stinking (okay that one was just because I like threes and rhyming) she spit it out. She loves that God is real.
It's a question I ask a lot. In general, I find asking about people's favorite things is a great way to get to know people and get ideas about how to love them well. But people's favorite things about God are usually the kind of thing we concentrate on at KidStuff. People like that God is powerful, and that He can take care of them, and that he forgives, which are all great things about a Great God…
but never once has anyone but this little girl even mentioned, "that He is real."
I think we take it for granted. It is understood. But There is so much about God being real, Him being true, the one God who reigns and created and loves and IS. All other Gods are false, created by faulty, fallen man.
But our God is real. He's my favorite.

A Catholic woman trying to build a family while being true to her faith. After facing the heartbreak of infertility and a miscarriage we are now adoptive parents of an amazing little boy and have a son in heaven.

On our adoption and letting go of fear
Then I catched myself.
I was discussing about the details of bringing my own baby home.
Without fear.
Without holding back like I have done in the last years when these discussions about babies came up.
I dared to believe it was going to happen.
And it felt so liberating.
This might sound strange, but I have not wanted to really think about very real possibility that we might become parents in the next months.
After so much heartache with IF, the last months of horrible hospitals stays and our own failed adoption and a miscarriage I have been guarding my heart. Really guarding it.
Fear has been my guiding feeling most of the time. What if God did not trust me to be a good mother? What if He wanted me to be infertile for life and also unable to adopt?
Then the message by Dr. H to continue trying, that our chances were still OK made me so very confused about what God really wanted.
But I have made my peace, He is guiding our family and will know when and how its going to be built, but so far the message is adoption is our path.
Each and every door has opened in the last months, specially since we lost Miguel.
I do not want this to sound that adoption has been easy. It has taken over a year and several months of waiting, of paperwork, of praying, of loss, of tears. Plus the added years of IF pain and of the same years of opening our hearts to this new vocation.
We are currently in the last 3 weeks of our adoption course, which started in October. It has been an amazing journey and a great gift to be working with an agency that shares our exact same beliefs. We take classes in a room where they have an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe and God is mentioned as a real participant in our adoption journey.
Wow, the presence of Our Lady right alongside. She is there waiting for Her baby just like we are.
In March there will be a solmen mass for all adoptive families and the ones to be at the Basilica of Guadalupe. It will be in honor of St Joseph. I cannot wait to go there and also pray for all bloggers in waiting. She is so very powerful.
The next weeks will be a whirlwind of activities. We finish the course, we have an interview with an adoptive family to ask any of our questions, then comes the psycological evaluation which is over 6 hours long, then the socioeconomic one and a social workers visit.... and if all goes well in the next 2 months or a little bit more we can have the certificate that makes it possible for a baby to be assigned to us.
The only thing that can put a delay of a few months is that our psychological evaluations show that we have not let of our grief or that there are some other problems in our relationship that need to be solved.
But this means only a delay, only in very specific cases is the process stopped once you have made it so far as we have. All the ones go through counseling and in the end are able to adopt. The probabilities are in favor of us.
I do not think that we have any major issues that could cancel our process. Yes, we are still recuperating from several months of extreme emotional pain, but we have been close to God and He is a true healer. I think we are OK in this respect and if they deem necessary for us to go to counseling I know there will be a reason for it and we will be OK. But this would be only be a delay. And what is a few months more if I have waited years for my DH and then years to start a family. I am now an expert on waiting. I do not like it any more than before, but it has been such an integral part of my life that I feel like an old pro.
Then with the certificate in hand.... it can happen anytime that we get the call to come and pick up our baby.
There is no specific date. It really can happen anytime.
We have been told by some people that know this agency is that since we are a minority to expect to be at the ends of the spectrum, either very fast or that we are ones of the last ones in our group. They look for a physical resemblance most of the time so we do not know how this will play for us.
For some friends it was the very next day after the certification. They did not have anything ready. Were also guarding their hearts.
For other friends it was 3 months later.
For others it has been 4...
But the message we have been given in the last weeks is this: You are now at the end of the course. Your baby has already been conceived and to start believing it.
I am trembling as I write this. With Our Lady´s help it might well be.
He/ she has been conceived and is growing in the belly of an amazing woman who will make the hardest and bravest decision of her life and one that we will be thankful for all our lives.
I am daring to belive that this is true.
I think that I have now the strenght and faith to start praying for her and this baby each and every night.

At Roseville, a few miles out of Sacramento, are the great depots of the Southern Pacific Railroad, whence the bulk of the fruits for the Eastern markets is shipped during the Summer months.

Click below to download a flyer about K9 Nose Work:
K9 Nose Work® is the new, exciting, urban detection-style dog sport that is designed to develop dogs' natural scenting abilities by using their curiosity, their instinctual desire to hunt, and their love of toys, food, and exercise. This sport turns you and your dog into a fine-tuned detection team, locating target rewards and target scents* in challenging search environments. It's a great way for any dog to have fun, build confidence, and burn lots of mental and physical energy. The art and practice of nose work has made basic search dog skills available to companion dogs, creating a new sport arena for dog enthusiasts. Not only has it proven to be a great activity for all types of dogs, but the founders' techniques make this one of the most accessible activities for the widest variety of dog owners regardless of previous training experience. K9 Nose Work® is open to dogs of all shapes and sizes - absolutely zero prior obedience training required! Dogs are sniffing it up!! (*Note: this activity is strictly for fun and sport - the target odors used in the sport are 3 particular essential oils).
Leah Gangelhoff , a professional Canine Training & Behavior Specialist since 2001, owns & operates Flint Hill K-9 Training LLC. While living in Los Angeles and before the sport of K9 Nose Work was born, Leah studied under, trained with, and certified dogs in narcotics detection with K9 Nose Work® co-founders Ron Gaunt & Amy Herot beginning in 2004 and was part of a weekly on-going detection training group with Ron, Amy, and third co-founder, Jill Marie O'Brien through 2006.
The sport of K9 Nose Work® had it's first sanctioned competition trial in California in 2008. Leah became the first National Association of Canine Scent Work (NACSW™) Certified K9 Nose Work® Instructor (CNWI), in the Southeast region in March of 2011. Leah is an NACSW™ Senior Faculty Member, instructs at K9 Nose Work® Training Camps at various locations around the country, teaches seminars and coaching clinics to handler/dogs teams across the country, and is active in developing and teaching Continuing Education Programs for Certified Nose Work Instructors. She also serves as a Certifying Official and Judge for NACSW™ sanctioned K9 Nose Work® Competition Trials and as a Certifying Official and Judge for NACSW™ sanctioned K9 Nose Work® Odor Recognition Tests (ORTs).
Leah teaches all levels of K9 Nose Work® for fun and/or competition, offering group classes locally and private sessions locally and remotely. She books full-day Coaching Days locally or in your area for up to 8 handler/dog teams for serious competitors. By invitation from those interested, she books 2-Day K9 Nose Work® workshops on a variety of topics nationally and internationally. Leah and her German Shepherd, Konner, have earned their Elite Champion Title in K9 Nose Work®, and are now competing in the Summit Division, the highest level of competition in the sport.
Cost for Each 6-Week Course: $185.50
INTRO TO NOSE WORK 1 & 2 - (Two 6-Week Courses) Start the foundation skills and get your dog using his or her natural scenting abilities. No prerequisite for Intro to Nose Work 1; prerequisite for Intro to Nose Work 2 is Intro to Nose Work 1. High food or toy motivation is beneficial for this class. No prior training of any kind is required - any dog can do it!
INTRO TO ODOR 1 & 2 - (Two 6-Week Courses) Prerequisites: Intro to Nose Work 1 & 2. These courses are for those who are already having fun training their dog in the basics of K9 Nose Work and want to take the next step. Dogs are introduced to the first target odor, Birch, a natural essential oil used in K9 Nose Work® trials. High food or toy motivation is beneficial for this class.
Dogs/handlers must have completed both Intro to Nose Work 1 & 2 (and Intro to Odor 1 if signing up for Odor 2) and be able to demonstrate skill proficiency with box hides, elevated hides, and various environmental hides. The first target odor is introduced in this class. Your instructor will assess your dog's readiness for the odor courses. A good guideline for knowing when you and your dog are ready for Intro to Odor:
❖ Your dog sees a configuration of boxes, and knows the nose game is on!
❖ Your dog has experienced and can search in 5 different locations of varying environment types (i.e. living room other then the dog's, garage at a friend's house, park like area, office, etc.)
❖ Your dog will search an entire search area, not just boxes and/or objects, to find his reward
❖ Your dog has built stamina to do several searches and maintain focus and energy
❖ You know what really motivates your dog and overrides other interests (in people, dogs, environments)
INTERMEDIATE NOSE WORK - For dogs that have completed Intro to Nose Work 1 & 2 and Intro to Odor 1 & 2 and have met minimum proficiency in finding their initial target odor. Additional target odors are introduced in this ongoing level class and handlers are challenged to learn new skills and increase searching challenges. Handlers interested in entering trials with their dogs will learn trial rules and build skills to help them be successful in earning their first titles - NW1 & NW2!
ADVANCED NOSE WORK - Designed for the experienced teams who have earned their NW2 title or above. Advanced level training will expand both the handler's understanding of the concepts of Nose Work and expand the dog's level of experience in problem-solving more difficult searches. This level, which is offered on an ongoing basis, is geared towards tactics, advanced handling, off-leash work, and trial preparation. The teams will learn to navigate more intricate and challenging training scenarios to prepare them for their NW3 titles and beyond.
About the classes:
❖ The classes meet once a week for 60 or 90 minutes
❖ Each class is limited to 6-8 dog/handler teams or less
❖ Each dog will be worked individually during the class
❖ Dogs will need to be crated and/or kept in your vehicle (during nice weather) between working times (indoor climate-controlled crating area available) - If crated, dogs must be able to rest calmly in a crate.
Who can participate?
❖ Any dog or puppy 4 months old and up! Younger puppies can start in Private sessions!
❖ Even retired dogs or dogs with physical limitations (as long as they are mobile)
❖ EVEN dogs who are fearful of other dogs and/or reactive toward other dogs can participate! We create a safe environment where only one dog at a time is working in class and the others are crated out of sight in a separate area. This is great because owners of reactive dogs can relax and enjoy the FUN!!
❖ Dogs with aggression issues toward people or dogs who have caused serious injury to other dogs are better suited for private nose work sessions. Use the form below to get started.
