Susan Pennebaker and Susan Bickley chaired the festive fundraiser that saw close to 500 partygoers not only get into the spirit by bidding heavily in the silent auction but also wave their rainbow of dinner napkins in the air as The Three Waiters (surprise entertainment) inspired them with a light operatic performance. |
Legendary voice of the Houston Astros Milo Hamilton served as honorary chair. Joining him on the program were Friends for Life executive director Salise Shuttlesworth and State Sen. John Whitmire. |
The party crowd included Don Sanders, Halina Dodd, Soraya and Scott McClelland, Ruth Ryan, Allison and Reese Ryan, Theresa and Jamie Hildreth, Carolyn Levy, Pokey Bolton, Angelica Sinisi and Christine Holland. |

Ever since I made my own scented soap as a perfumery trainee, I’ve been fascinated by the transformation that happens when oils and lye come together. How could such simple materials produce a shiny white bar? And how could the addition of aromatic essences transform an ordinary soap into a small luxury? |
The experience of making soap also taught me the difference between a mass-produced bar and an artisanal product. Like wine, soap needs to be aged. The process can be accelerated, but traditional makers take as long as a month to mature their bars to achieve a distinctive texture and to make the scent more rounded and ... |
The term “Savon de Marseille” refers to a specific manufacturing method in open-air cauldrons. In the 17th century, it meant soaps made in and around the Marseille area and produced only from olive oil, but today the regulations allow other vegetable fats as well. Some of my favourite soaps are made by Marius Fabre, a ... |
Another soapmaker with a long history and a diverse range of excellent hard-milled soaps is Claus Porto. Founded in the 19th century by two Germans based in Portugal, Ferdinand Claus and Georges Schweder, the company survived the turbulent events of the 20th century and entered the 21st with a reputation for beautiful ... |
When exploring artisanal soapmakers, I would be remiss not to include one of Florence’s treasures, the Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella. This venerable institution was founded by Dominican friars around 1221 as an infirmary for the monks. Eventually it began producing a range of balms and medicines ... |
When I want a classic perfumed soap, I turn to Hermès. Its soaps include several varieties meant to accompany the fragrances in its collection – Calèche (£22 for 100g), Eau d’Orange Verte (£20 for 150g), Terre d’Hermès (£20 for 100g), among others. My choice these days is Eau des Merveilles (£16 for 100g), a soap that ... |
50 By natural reason man can know God with certainty, on the basis of his works. But there is another order of knowledge, which man cannot possibly arrive at by his own powers: the order of divine Revelation. 1 Through an utterly free decision, God has revealed himself and given himself to man. This he does by revealin... |
52 God, who "dwells in unapproachable light", wants to communicate his own divine life to the men he freely created, in order to adopt them as his sons in his only-begotten Son. 3 By revealing himself God wishes to make them capable of responding to him, and of knowing him and of loving him far beyond their own natural... |
53 The divine plan of Revelation is realized simultaneously "by deeds and words which are intrinsically bound up with each other" 4 and shed light on each another. It involves a specific divine pedagogy: God communicates himself to man gradually. He prepares him to welcome by stages the supernatural Revelation that is ... |
54 "God, who creates and conserves all things by his Word, provides men with constant evidence of himself in created realities. And furthermore, wishing to open up the way to heavenly salvation - he manifested himself to our first parents from the very beginning." 6 He invited them to intimate communion with himself an... |
61 The patriarchs, prophets and certain other Old Testament figures have been and always will be honoured as saints in all the Church's liturgical traditions. |
63 Israel is the priestly people of God, "called by the name of the LORD", and "the first to hear the word of God", 21 the people of "elder brethren" in the faith of Abraham. |
83 The Tradition here in question comes from the apostles and hands on what they received from Jesus' teaching and example and what they learned from the Holy Spirit. The first generation of Christians did not yet have a written New Testament, and the New Testament itself demonstrates the process of living Tradition. |
Tradition is to be distinguished from the various theological, disciplinary, liturgical or devotional traditions, born in the local churches over time. These are the particular forms, adapted to different places and times, in which the great Tradition is expressed. In the light of Tradition, these traditions can be ret... |
85 "The task of giving an authentic interpretation of the Word of God, whether in its written form or in the form of Tradition, has been entrusted to the living teaching office of the Church alone. Its authority in this matter is exercised in the name of Jesus Christ." 47 This means that the task of interpretation has ... |
87 Mindful of Christ's words to his apostles: "He who hears you, hears me", 49 the faithful receive with docility the teachings and directives that their pastors give them in different forms. |
88 The Church's Magisterium exercises the authority it holds from Christ to the fullest extent when it defines dogmas, that is, when it proposes truths contained in divine Revelation or also when it proposes, in a definitive way, truths having a necessary connection with these." |

121 The Old Testament is an indispensable part of Sacred Scripture. Its books are divinely inspired and retain a permanent value, 92 for the Old Covenant has never been revoked. |
123 Christians venerate the Old Testament as true Word of God. The Church has always vigorously opposed the idea of rejecting the Old Testament under the pretext that the New has rendered it void (Marcionism). |
134 All Sacred Scripture is but one book, and this one book is Christ, "because all divine Scripture speaks of Christ, and all divine Scripture is fulfilled in Christ" (Hugh of St. Victor, De arca Noe 2, 8: PL 176, 642: cf. ibid. 2, 9: PL 176, 642-643). |
135 "The Sacred Scriptures contain the Word of God and, because they are inspired, they are truly the Word of God" (DV 24). |
136 God is the author of Sacred Scripture because he inspired its human authors; he acts in them and by means of them. He thus gives assurance that their writings teach without error his saving truth (cf. DV 11). |
137 Interpretation of the inspired Scripture must be attentive above all to what God wants to reveal through the sacred authors for our salvation. What comes from the Spirit is not fully "understood except by the Spirit's Action" (cf. Origen, Hom. in Ex. 4, 5: PG 12, 320). |
138 The Church accepts and venerates as inspired the 46 books of the Old Testament and the 27 books of the New. |
139 The four Gospels occupy a central place because Christ Jesus is their centre. |
140 The unity of the two Testaments proceeds from the unity of God's plan and his Revelation. The Old Testament prepares for the New and the New Testament fulfils the Old; the two shed light on each other; both are true Word of God. |
141 "The Church has always venerated the divine Scriptures as she venerated the Body of the Lord" (DV 21): both nourish and govern the whole Christian life. "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (Ps 119:105; cf. Isa 50:4). |

Don't worry. This story has a happy ending. |
As 2018 draws to a close, many of us are becoming nostalgic, reflecting on what was and, in some cases, what could have been. And major corporations are no different. Every year, companies across the globe share year-in-review roundups. And now, Uber is getting in on the game. |
The car-sharing service recently compiled their annual trends and predictions report, and in it, they included the most popular tourist destinations of 2018. So what attraction took the top spot? None other than the Empire State Building. But that wasn’t the only interesting location on the list. Several well-known att... |
Of course, that doesn’t mean these are (or were) the most trafficked sites. This list was compiled by Uber using rider data, meaning these were the most popular destinations for the car-sharing service. |
According to the official website for the Empire State Building, the 103-story building sees an average of 4 million visitors annually, and over 1.5 million tourists visit the CN Tower in Toronto. |
Uber didn’t offer any insight as to why New York took the top two spots, but it could be due to the car-sharing service’s large presence in the city. It could also be due to the late-night vibes. |
True to its name, New York also took the top spot for the most rides after 2:00 a.m. |
As for what 2019 will bring, it seems we’ll just have to wait and see. |
A boy with a worn football tucked under his arm this crisp autumn Saturday afternoon gazed at the large bronze panels on either side of the central arch on Derby Avenue. The engraved names of more than 500 colleges, preparatory schools and state high school associations glistened. |
A few hands reached out to touch the four 50-foot- high stone columns. Because those who entered this gateway to the Yale University athletic fields were on hallowed football ground. |
So esteemed was Walter Camp -- the father of American football -- that 224 colleges and 279 secondary schools donated money, beginning in 1927, to help construct the Memorial Arch on the approach to Yale Bowl. |
Camp was a halfback and captained Yale in 1878, '79 and '81. His coaching record at Yale in 1888-1892 was 67-2. |
From 1879 until his death in 1925, he was the preeminent member of all the associations and committees that governed football. |
In 1892, he received a letter from a professor named James Kivlan. The letter asked for "some points on the best way to develop a good Foot Ball Team." |
Kivlan's school was Notre Dame. |
Camp's influence on the development and establishment of football is limitless. |
Every pro football player, everyone who has ever tailgated at a college game or participated in a backyard pickup game owes him a little. |
Camp was born April 7, 1859, in New Britain and spent most of his youth in New Haven, where his family had moved. He played baseball and football at Hopkins Grammar School. |
At Yale, he also was a member of the crew, tennis and track teams. But football, more a combination of rugby and soccer in the 1870s, was his first interest. |
Once Camp became a member of the national football rules committee in 1879, the game would never be the same. |
He was not an overbearing, fist-pounding advocate. His mild manners and tailored attire made him look more like an English country gentleman. His innovations -- 11-man sides, the system of downs, the line of scrimmage, the quarterback position, the forward pass, yard lines and point values for a touchdown and a field g... |
"I was at Yale when Walter Camp was coach," said Amos Alonzo Stagg, who won 314 games in a college career that spanned 57 seasons. ". . . As a football legislator on the Rules Committee, he worked unceasingly to make the rules fair and just." |
To promote interest in football, Camp picked the first All-America team in 1889. |
He left Yale in 1892 to become the first coach at Stanford. He was 12-3-3 in three years there. He returned to Yale in 1896, serving for the next 15 years as an advisory volunteer coach. His wife, Allie, often attended practice and obtained insights on the team in the absence of her husband, an executive at the New Hav... |
But in 1905 there was concern football would be abolished because of 18 reported deaths during the previous college season. The brutality and intent to injure prompted President Theodore Roosevelt to look into the game. |
One of the men called to service was Camp. |
If the game couldn't be made safer, Roosevelt said, he'd abolish it. |
Led by Camp, a committee made changes. The field was made wider to open space for speed and strategy and reduce the number of injuries. The width of 53 1/3 yards was decided upon in deference to Harvard.(Yes, a Yalie did help rival Harvard.)Camp found that this was the widest a field could be in Harvard's new stadium. |
The game was opened up further with the legalization of the forward pass. In addition, rules were passed to improve the standard of officiating, enforce penalties and encourage good sportsmanship. |
