Yves Saint-Laurent M7 (2002) Jacques Cavallier, Alberto Morillas Amber Oriental
•Top Notes: Bergamot, Mandarin, Rosemary •Middle Notes: Vetiver, Agarwood •Base Notes: Amber, Musk, Mandrake Root
Strange and wonderful, a congeries of exotic notes, from agarwood (oud) right down to mandrake root. Along the way, there are such commonplaces as bergamot, mandarin, rosemary, amber, musk, and vetiver, but the exotics really transform the usual suspects into strange beasts in and of themselves. The overall effect is one of mysterious, slightly pharmaceutical exuberance and sensuality. Mandrake is a plant steeped in lore, a member of the deadly nightshade family (along with belladonna), a plant that induces delirium; and whose resemblance, because of its bifurcated root, to a human figure with arms and legs, caused it to be used in arcane magical rituals. John Donne, the 17th century Anglican priest and mystic, wrote in his famous Song:
"Go and catch a falling star
"Get with child a mandrake root,
"Tell me where all past years are
"Or who cleft the devil's foot,
"Teach me to hear mermaids singing,
"Or to keep off envy's stinging,
"And find
"What wind
"Serves to advance an honest mind."
Like the lyric, M7 is mystical, magical, and profound.

On behalf of my sponsored child, I resolve . . .
On behalf of my sponsored child, I resolve . . .
I resolve to continue to write regularly–about once a month–and to pray daily for both of my kids.
I will continue to save my spare change to use either for a family gift or to put toward a trip to visit at least one of them.
That's a great idea Judith – I'll collect 20p coins to put towards family gifts…
…to write more often to her.
Write at least once a month, pray daily for them and I love the idea of saving up spare change. Thanks for that!
to encourge my friends, co workers, and church members to sponsor children through Compassion, be a better steward of the money God has entrusted me with, and not buy into the consumer lifestyle that I see all around me.
I got the idea from my folks. They've got a jar that goes toward their credit card bills; it took about 6 months to fill it up, and held almost $100! My jar is a little bit smaller, but it fits. It came from my mom's trip to Japan when she was in the Red Cross, and since it's oriental, it reminds me of my boy Gabriel (even though he's in Indonesia, and the artwork there is likely a bit different).
…to write more often.
…to continue to write once a month and include lots of pictures and stickers and other flat things.
…to continue to pray regularly for them.
I too like the jar idea. I have been collecting change for a few years and whenever my jar becomes full I pick something to use it for. Once it was a struggling family in my church, and once it was used as a family gift for one of my girls.
to write and pray more. To actively take an interest in their lives. To learn more about each child, their family and their country.
…to also continue to pray for each child and be faithful in letter writing. A while back someone mentioned that where we take letter writing so for granted perhaps some of these children have never written a letter and cannot do it with the ease that we do. Waiting for a response from our children before we reply will not really benefit them. I resolve to write whether MY mailbox is full or not. The change jar is a wonderful way to help as well.
My family has been cutting back in a lot of areas and I've been trying to do the same so I have more money to donate to my kids and their familes. We got rid of our DVR for the TV and I've been taking all my old books and cds and selling them to get some extra cash for this good cause. Just an idea. The change jar is also a good idea!
[…] other day the Compassion International Blog posted a finish the sentence of "On behalf of my sponsored child, I […]
… to continue writing to him and praying for him and his family – more than I have
… to help find sponsors for other children (something that has really been on my mind recently)
… to become more aware and then to raise others' awareness
To write to them weekly. To never get so discouraged in my own life that I lose sight of them. They are most important. I resolve to pray for them and uplift them.

Saddles are so subjective but this one ticks off all the boxes that make it a good one if it fits you right. Lightweight package but not uncomfortable for an all-day adventure. The kevlar sides are tough as nails so it holds up against the times you gotta lay the bike down. The i-beam does require a special post but the design is great and more people whould convert to this. Color options from SDG are a nice touch too.

It was raining 3-pointers inside Jacksonville High School's Bird Cage on Friday night, and Cardinals senior Nigel Vialva hit the biggest one of them all in overtime.
Vialva's 3-pointer at the buzzer lifted Jacksonville to a 74-73 overtime win over West Carteret in a Coastal 3-A Conference boys' basketball game.
With the Cardinals trailing 73-71 after West Carteret's Anthony Windley hit a pair of free throws with 12 seconds remaining, Vialva drained the game-winning trey just at the right of the top of the key.
Earlier, West Carteret defeated Jacksonville 52-18 in the girls' game.
"The shot was crazy," Vialva said after being mobbed on the court by teammates and fans. "We were fumbling the ball around before it (the shot). I just threw it to my teammate Dana Stone and I had trust in him, but he passed it back to me and I shot it and we won."
Vialva felt as if the Cardinals (10-10, 5-5) should have won in regulation.
"We made it hard on ourselves," he said. "We could have beaten them before overtime."
Indeed, the Cardinals had a chance in regulation to win as Chris Smith missed the second of two free throws after he made the first one to tie the game at 60-60 with seven seconds left in the fourth quarter.
Jacksonville then stole the inbound pass at midcourt, but did not call a timeout as the clock expired to send the game to overtime.
At the start of overtime, it did not look good for the Cardinals as West Carteret's Nathan Windley hit a 3-pointer to start the extra period.
The Patriots later held a comfortable four-point lead throughout overtime, and even went up by five at 69-64 with one minute remaining after Anthony Windley knocked down two free throws.
"I told them that if we did not play hard, man-to-man defense and get inside their pocket, we won't win the game," Jacksonville coach James Jordan said. "I never let them play with space in between them and their man. I tell them to basically be one person when playing defense."
Smith cut the deficit to three with a bucket, but Nathan Windley hit 1 of 2 from the free throw line to give the Patriots a four-point lead.
Down 71-69 with 29.8 left in overtime, Vialva sunk two free throws to tie the game. Anthony Windley was fouled with 12.6 seconds remaining and buried both his free throws to regain the lead for West Carteret.
Vialva's big shot happened moments later to beat the Patriots (5-14, 2-8).
"In my mind, I am still looking at that shot," Jordan said. "He picked up the ball and when he released, I had a feeling it was going to drop because he did the exact same thing to them at their place and won the game the exact same way almost in the exact same spot."
West Carteret 52, Jacksonville 18: Jacksonville managed just two points in the first quarter in a Coastal 3-A Conference loss to West Carteret.
The Cardinals struggled all night to find offense.
Blair Pearce and Hannah Erikson each had 10 points to lead West Carteret. Stacey Scott had 6 points for Jacksonville.

Although using container in unit test is categorized as an anti-pattern (http://picocontainer.codehaus.org/tests-use-container-antipattern.html), it is interesting to use pico to bootstrap your test.
The anti-pattern seems to blame when you use a real container with real dependencies for a unit tests. But I think it's acceptable when
- You use a specific container containing the component you want to test all its dependencies are mocked.
- You are writing integration and functional tests
Using a container provides multiple advantages :
- Better flexibility in the component construction. Your tests won't break anymore when you change the constructor signature.
- Very little overhead. PicoContainer is very fast to start.
- Re-usability of container. You will probably create several test container depending on the system you want to test. Those container can be reuse in different test classes or even in different container.
Known disadvantages :
- More configuration in the test. You have to create, configure the container and get all desired instances.
- A bit excessive for simple unit tests. Such system is used to simplify complex construction of component. If the component require less than 2 dependencies, it doesn't worth it.
To lighten the container management in the test, a junit custom runner has been created which initialize the container and inject dependencies in the test class.
Usage of PicoRunner
PicoRunner is a simple junit custom runner which allows nice integration of picoContainer in Junit.
To get the full code of PicoRunner with examples, you can check IzPack sources.
Basically, in your test class, you define a container (implementing BindeableContainer) to use with the @Container annotation.
When Junit want to create the test class instance for each methods, the container is created and use to instanciate this test instance. Thus, your test class can behave like a component of the container and ask any dependencies it needs.
Simple test
The first step is to create your container for test purpose.
Here we have 2 components, a Properties and a mock list.
To use this container in your test, use the customRunner PicoRunner and configure the container with @Container.
You will be able to ask any components of the container in the test constructor. Moreover, an instance of the test is created for each test methods. So you don't have to worry about cleaning the container.
Panel display tests
The following examples are taken from the izpack-test-panel module which contains small and fast GUI tests
The majority of instantiation logic is in the container. We have ready to use components and mocks for your test.

Variety is the spice of life. So if you've grown tired of traditional e-cigs, or you just want to give something else a whirl, e-hookahs are where it's at. With eye-catching artwork, LED glowing tips, and volumes of vapor production, it's a lot like bringing the hookah lounge to your house (or your car, or your boat....wherever). Each e-hookah produces significantly more vapor than e-cigs, and provides you with hundreds of glorious puffs. Some brands even boast extra mouth tips, so you can share the fun with all of your friends. The flavor options are plentiful, and the prices are rock-bottom. Go ahead and take e-hookahs for a spin, you'll be back before you know it.

Functional programming is a style of programming that emphasizes the application of functions to solve computing problems. This is in contrast with imperative programming, which emphasizes changes in state and the execution of sequential commands. If you want use a functional-only programming language, you should consider something like Haskell. If however you like Groovy but want to apply some functional style magic, read on.
Functional Basics
Groovy's functions (like Java's) can be used to define functions which contain no imperative steps, e.g. a factorial function may look like:
In Groovy, we gain some slight syntactic sugar over Java in that we can leave out the
return statements (the last evaluated expression is the default return value).
You can also define the above factorial function using a Closure:
As you can see from the last line, this Closure version gets called in the same way as the function version (although a long hand
fac2.call(4) is also supported). The closure version has the advantage that we can pass the
fac2 Closure around (e.g. as a parameter) or place it within a data structure.
We can also convert between functions and Closures, e.g.
fac3 variable will also be a closure.
We can of course start to mix and match functional and imperative coding styles as in this quicksort-like example:
Curry functions
You can fix the values for one or more arguments to a closure instance using the curry() method as follows:
If you supply one argument to the curry() method you will fix the first argument. If you supply N arguments you will fix arguments 1..N. See reference 1 or Chapter 5 of GINA for further details.
Lazy evaluation
One particular style of functional programming of particular merit is to make use of lazy evaluation. This allows you to define infinite structures (see the next section), devise particularly efficient solutions to certain kinds of problems, and come up with very elegant solutions to otherwise hard problems. The good news is that several parts of Groovy already make use of this style and they typically hide away the hard bits so you don't need to know what magic is happening on your behalf. Here's some examples:
XmlSlurperallows arbitrary GPath expressions to be crafted. As you create the expressions, you might think that XML parsing is going on behind the covers pulling XML nodes into and out of lists to match what your expressions are asking for. This is not the case. Instead a lazy representation of your GPath is stored away. When you need to evaluate the final result of a GPath expression, it calculates just what it needs to determine the expressions resulting value. [See chapter 12 of GINA for more information about XmlSlurper.]
- Groovy's
DataSetfeature does the some thing for data stored in relational databases. As you build up your dataset queries, no connections or operations to the database are happening under the covers. At the time when you need the result, an optimised query minimising SQL traffic is invoked to return the required result. [See section 10.2 of GINA for more information about DataSets.]
Infinite structures
See reference 2 below for all the details, but to give you a flavour, first you must define some lazy list handling functions, then you can define and use infinite streams. Here is an example:
If you are not familiar with traditional functional programming terms like
car and
cdr, you may find the refactored version below (creds to Alexander Kriegisch) somewhat more readable:
Using Functional Java
You can also consider using Java libraries which support functional programming, e.g. using Functional Java for an example similar to the evens example above:
Or for something a little more adventurous, we can consider calculating primes:
Remember to add
functionaljava.jar to your classpath. You will need a version greater than version 2.8 of Functional Java.
Another example:
Or with a little bit of metaprogramming like so:
The above examples can be re-written like this:

18 Bright and Beautiful Window Box Planters
Hot tamale [1]
If you like your colors spicy hot, plant this design in a red or bright yellow box to underscore the vivid plant selection. Put coleus varieties 'Skyrocket' and 'Tabasco' in the back and New Guinea impatiens across the front and sides. Vinca vine trails in front. Grow this arrangement in partial sun.
Bold beauty [4]
The rich shades of coleus make a statement next to spots of bright color from blooms. From left: coleus 'Stained Glassworks Copper', Lantana 'Dallas Red', beargrass, coleus 'True Red', coleus 'Stained Glassworks Big Blond' and licorice vine.
Old-fashioned appeal [7]
Variegated trailers dangle over the edge of this box filled to brimming with cottage favorites including hibiscus, impatiens, pansies and periwinkle.
Red, white & nearly blue [10]
Plant petunias in red, white and the bluest-looking purple you can find for a star-spangled scene in a red, white or blue container. Arrange plants in rows for stripes of color. Let vinca vines cascade over the edges. Grow this box in full sun.
Pastel pleasures [13]
For a light, delicate look, plant pink 'Wave' petunias and blue lobelia in front of silver 'Icicle' helichrysum. Vinca vine trails over the ivory-color box. Set in full sun.
Airy look [16]
Two white pots and three window boxes in coordinating colors line a sunny shelf. Fill with plants with ferny leaves, such as daisies or coreopsis, for an airy look.
On the shady side [19]
For a spot of color in a shady setting, make groupings of coordinating colors of impatiens, such as pink and burgundy. Boston ferns separate the groups. Vinca trails over the cool green box.
Springy statement [22]
Tulips and pansies combine in a simple, bright spring window box arrangement.
Cheery trio [25]
Yellow petunias mingle with spikes of grass and a variegated trailer in a window box decorated in lattice matching that used on this porch.
Awesome autumn [28]
Fresh and dried flowers make for a bountiful fall look. Oversize cabbages and hydrangea blossoms anchor an arrangement that has branches twisting out in fun swirls.
Serene scene [31]
At a woodsy retreat, this subdued collection of petunias and other plants fills a craftsman-style box.
Shady simplicity [34]
Sweet potato vine and some coleus thrive in this shady setting and coordinate with the wood colors of this log cabin.
Landscape tie-in [37]
The two mums in this window box echo the ones in the ground. A big bow secures dried corn for extra fall mood.
Coordinated effect [40]
Window boxes, planters and foundation plantings all work together here for a unified look.
Bold colors [43]
Bright purple petunias are the quietest part of this arrangement. Almost-neon green sweet potato vine billows out in a bold statement. Three artsy planter stakes provide exclamation points to the energetic look.
Modern monochrome [46]
A single plant repeated makes a modern statement, as do these deep-red geraniums.
Dormer appeal [49]
Impatiens 'Dazzler Red' and 'Dazzler Pink' offer a pretty mix of high-up color in this dormer window box.
Double delight [52]
Matching window boxes further unite a pair of windows. Bright blue shutters call for plantings of brilliant blooms.

Miami Game Notes vs. Kent State
Nov. 10, 2012 · Yager Stadium · Oxford, Ohio
General Notes
- The loss to Kent State Saturday was Miami's first home loss of the season as the RedHawks fall to 3-1 at Yager Stadium this year.
- Even with the loss, Miami still leads the all-time series with Kent State, 46-14, including 23-7 in Oxford. The 48 points the RedHawks gave up to KSU are the second-most Kent State has ever scored against Miami, trailing only the 54 the Golden Flashes put up in a 54-21 win in 2008 in Oxford.
- Saturday's game was Senior Day as Miami's 25 seniors were honored prior to the game.
Team Notes
- For the second time this season, Miami had two wide receivers go over 100 yards in the same game as junior Nick Harwell totaled 122 yards on 10 catches and senior Andy Cruse had 123 receiving yards on eight grabs. The other time that happened was Sept. 29 at Akron as Cruse had 111 receiving yards and sophomore Dawan Scott had 208 yards receiving.
- Miami allowed 21 points in the first quarter, the fifth time the RedHawks have given up 21 points in a quarter this year, but first time in MAC play. The 21 points tie the most points Miami has allowed in a quarter this season and are the most in a MAC game.
- The RedHawks gave up 35 points in the first half, the most Miami has allowed in the opening half all season and ties the most Miami has allowed in any half, giving up 35 in the second half at Ohio State Sept. 1 in the season opener.
Individual Notes
- Senior quarterback Zac Dysert threw for 455 yards Saturday, moving him into 26th place on the NCAA's all-time passing yardage list with 11,452 career yards, passing 15 people, including names such as Peyton Manning and Carson Palmer. He now ranks third all-time on the MAC's passing yardage list as well, trailing only Dan LeFevour (CMU) and Byron Leftwich (Marshall). With his 455 passing yards, he has now thrown for 300 or more yards five times this season and 18 times in his career while the 455 yards are the second-most in his career behind the 516 he threw for Sept. 29 at Akron earlier this year.
- Dysert threw for four touchdowns Saturday, marking the fourth time in his career he has done so and second time this year. He moved into a tie for 10th in MAC history in career touchdowns with 70, matching Tyler Sheehan of Bowling Green (2006-09). Dysert completed 37 passes in the game, moving him into second in MAC history with 1,014 career completions, ahead of WMU's Tim Hiller, as he trails only Dan LeFevour of CMU (1,171).
- Senior wide receiver Luke Swift earned his first start of the season Saturday, which was just the third start of his career. He hauled in a season-long 42-yard reception in the first quarter, which was his second-longest catch of his career after a 45-yard catch as a freshman in 2009. He finished with a career-high 71 yards on four grabs.
- Junior cornerback Dayonne Nunley intercepted his third pass of the season in the first quarter, which ties him for the team lead. It was his 12th career interception, which moves him into a tie for sixth in Miami history with Troy White (1984-86) and Dave Rebsch (1971-73).
- Junior wide receiver Nick Harwell hauled in a touchdown pass in the second quarter, giving him 22 touchdown catches for his career, which moves him into a tie for third in school history with Ryne Robinson (2003-06). He finished with 122 receiving yards on 10 catches for his 15th career 100-yard receiving game and fourth this season. The 15 100-yard receiving games tie him with Martin Nance for the most 100-yard receiving games in school history.
- Senior wide receiver Andy Cruse hauled in two touchdown catches Saturday, tying his career high, which he also achieved at Central Michigan in 2010 as a sophomore. He finished with 123 receiving yards on eight catches for his third career 100-yard game and second this season.
- Junior punter Zac Murphy booted a 68-yard punt in the second quarter, the second-longest of his career after a 71-yarder last Saturday at Buffalo.
- Sophomore safety Brison Burris nabbed his third interception of the season (and of his career) in the second quarter, tying him for the team lead. He picked off a pass for the second straight game, also doing so last week at Buffalo.

The accounting profession has been busy. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is rewriting accounting rules related to revenue recognition, leasing, financial instruments, and insurance contracts — phew — that's a lot to tackle at once, and there's more to follow. Comment letters are flying. Companies are more engaged in monitoring FASB meetings than ever before, the accounting firms are trying to educate their clients and audit committees, and internal auditing is gearing up to perform readiness assessments — once we can figure out when to book the work.
There is a quote — don't know the author — but it seems fitting now:
"Life can either be accepted or changed. If it is not accepted, it must be changed. If it cannot be changed, then it must be accepted."
So, we're going to have to face it. There will be change. It will be hard. It might be expensive. The FASB and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission are once again inviting U.S. companies to get involved in the conversation. Don't be one of those who sit there complaining that International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) will be the end of the world as we know it. Really? Shape the outcome.
Auditors: Start learning. Read up on IFRS — what changes will have the most impact on your organization and industry? What will be the impact on enterprise systems if certain standards are adopted prospectively? Retroactively? Are accounting resources going to be sufficiently trained to perform this work? Will your auditors be sufficiently trained?
And the big question: Will it even happen at all? When?

Orlando, Florida overflows with famous theme parks
The beating heart of Florida, Orlando attracts visitors from all corners of the world and is only a few hours' drive from the state's other major cities including Tampa, Jacksonville, Miami and Naples. Home to more than a dozen spectacular amusement parks and hundreds of smaller attractions, it also boasts upscale shopping and delicious dining. A combination of world-class resorts and affordable accommodations has helped establish Orlando as a magnet for families in search of a good-time vacation.
Things to see
Ask anyone what their favorite things about Orlando are and they'll likely point out its two major draws: Walt Disney World and Universal Studios. Beyond these theme park giants, Orlando actually has a whole host of individual amusement parks for guests of all ages, especially adults with the hearts of big kids.
Walt Disney World
What started out as a single amusement park in 1971 proved so popular, it grew into four: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. Your favorite movie characters, both old and new, wander around the parks, so be sure to get a picture with the likes of Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Riding some of the world's most famous roller coasters can be tiring, so after a long day of seeking thrills, head to Downtown Disney to eat at Fulton's Crab House and catch a movie at the 24-screen AMC theater. Don't forget to stop in The Lego Store, the single largest shop dedicated to anything and everything Lego.
Universal Studios
Both Walt Disney World and Universal Studios are appropriate for families and kids of all ages, but if Walt Disney World is better suited for younger children, Universal Studios might appeal more to young adults. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter stirred much excitement in 2010, and now you can even take a walk down Diagon Alley.
Just outside Universal Studios and Islands of Adventures sits CityWalk, which offers visitors movie-themed shopping and dining opportunities such as Bubba Gump Shrimp.
If it's been your lifelong dream to swim with dolphins, make it come true at SeaWorld's Discovery Cove. You'll also be able to interact with a huge variety of other animals including whales, exotic birds and fish. Think of SeaWorld as the world's best petting zoo.
Of course, your stay wouldn't be complete without going on SeaWorld's water slides and roller coasters. With a unique blend of entertainment and education, families can spend a whole day here and never get bored.
Legoland is a must for Lego collectors of all ages. The park is decorated with custom sculptures, and guests can experiment with millions of different Lego bricks at the Lego Factory. A large botanical garden takes advantage of Orlando's tropical climate.
Hotel price ranges
Each amusement park offers themed accommodations in Florida, but there are plenty more Orlando hotels to suit every budget and taste. The Holiday Inn Express & Suites offers low rates for spacious and comfortable lodgings, with a free shuttle bus taking you to nearby attractions. For a luxurious stay, the JW Marriot Orlando Grand Lakes treats you to an on-site golf course and eleven restaurants.
Best time to stay
Thanks to its tropical climate, Orlando is home to exotic plants and wildlife not found anywhere else. Bromeliads, palm trees and bougainvillea vines keep the city colorful throughout the year, and mild winters allow the amusement parks to remain open during all seasons.
Millions of families flock to Orlando during the summer, and a significant number head to the city around Christmas. If you want to beat the lines at Walt Disney World and Universal Studios, plan your vacation from September to November, or from February to April, when the weather is mild.

Schalk Burger's growth as a leader bodes well for the Boks in a World Cup year.
Burger has led the Stormers and WP to three play-offs in the space of two seasons, and the fact that the Cape-based team hasn't won a championship trophy is no indictment on his leadership ability.
In the new issue of SA Rugby magazine, on sale Wednesday, former Bok captain Corné Krige says Burger is the right man to take the franchise forward, and that his burgeoning leadership skills will be a boon to the Boks.
'I had my doubts initially about Schalk as a captain because I thought he didn't want it enough, but he's proved me wrong with some passionate and determined performances,' says Krige. 'He leads by example which is exactly what a captain needs to do. It's a pity he never got the chance to carry that form through to the Tri-Nations because he would have added value to the Boks' leadership core.
Burger also talks about his leadership style and development, and looks ahead to his third World Cup campaign.
Also in the new issue:
– Why South Africa's top Super Rugby franchises fell short this season
– The new Super Rugby format took its toll on players and spectators
– Heyneke Meyer on how Super Rugby will shorten players' careers, why he believes the Boks have a good chance of defending the World Cup, and whether he will apply for the Bok job
– The Tri-Nations changed the face of southern hemisphere rugby
– Frans Steyn has grown up as a player and a person during his time with Racing Métro
– Are the players, the referees or the impractical laws to blame for the profound mess at the scrum? SA Rugby magazine's panel of experts identifies the problems and offers possible solutions
– The Baby Boks couldn't handle the pressure at this year's Junior World Championship
– Griquas scrumhalf Sarel Pretorius on his move to the Waratahs, being snubbed by the Springboks and why the Currie Cup format should stay the same
– Frédéric Michalak has rekindled his relationship with the Sharks
– Schoolboy rugby players who take performance-enhancing drugs are playing a dangerous game
– South African-born Saracens lock Mouritz Botha has set his sights on playing Test rugby for England
– Kings coach Alan Solomons on winning the Nations Cup, their latest signings, and why they don't want to play in a European club competition
– Butch James tells his funniest tour tale
– Free double-sided poster of Schalk Burger and Frans Steyn

Nomination Form
Nomination Form Downloadable (PDF)
At commencement, Wesley Theological Seminary presents the Society of John Wesley Award of Merit to an individual who, through sacrificial leadership, exemplifies a high standard of commitment and devotion to God, the Church and Wesley Theological Seminary. Recipients are Wesley Theological Seminary graduates nominated and selected by fellow graduates.
2014 Award Recipient
The Rev. Dr. Kenda Creasy Dean
Wesley Theological Seminary awarded the 2014 Society of John Wesley Award of Merit to the Rev. Dr. Kenda Creasy Dean, the Mary D. Synnott Professor of Youth, Church and Culture at Princeton Theological Seminary.
"Ultimately this award is a recognition of an alum who, having embraced God's call and claim in their life, lives unselfish service inspiring others," said the Rev. Dr. Timothy Baer (M.Div. '80, D.Min. '93), who chairs the Wesley Alumni Council. "Over the years, many recipients of the award have been, and continue to be, transformational leaders with vision who challenge others to be transformational as well. In the spirit of John Wesley, this award represents a continuing challenge to each and every graduate to unyieldingly offer his or her best in service to God."
McAllister-Wilson said, "Dr. Dean is one of the few theologians today who are known and read across denominations. Her work is ground-breaking and refreshing and has helped all of us focus on what it will take for the church to be both faithful and relevant. We are proud of Kenda as one of our most distinguished alums."
Dean earned her Master of Divinity summa cum laude at Wesley Theological Seminary in 1988. She is an ordained elder in the Baltimore-Washington Conference of The United Methodist Church. Following her graduation from Wesley, she served as a pastor in churches in Virginia and Maryland, and as a campus minister at the University of Maryland.
In 1997, Dean earned her Doctor of Philosophy at Princeton Theological Seminary and joined its faculty the same year. She works closely with Princeton Seminary's Institute for Youth Ministry. She also serves as the coordinating pastor of Kingston United Methodist Church. She is co-founder of Ministry Incubators, an accelerator program that helps turn missional ideas into sustainable ministries. She teaches and writes extensively about the globalization of youth ministries and the theological and pastoral considerations of ministering to young adults. Additionally, she serves on several local and national boards ranging from campus ministries to juvenile offenders.
Dean has served The United Methodist Church for more than two decades. Six years ago, Kingston United Methodist Church had a small congregation with a weekly attendance of 10-15 members, no mission activities, and little hope. Ttoday its weekly attendance is around 80, with two students serving as pastors most recently. Under her stewardship, seven seminarians volunteer to run missions within Kingston UMC and participate in the spiritual leadership of the congregation from the pulpit.
Dean's additional contributions to the church flow from the body of teaching, study, and writing she has done. At Princeton Theological Seminary, she has developed Ph.D. seminars and masters-level courses that focus on educational issues, communicating the Gospel to adolescents and children, and the role of the church in an evolving culture. She has served as director or primary investigator on major studies delving into educational practices of youth and young-adult ministries. She has written, edited and co-authored nine books; contributed numerous chapters to books by others; and written articles for the academic and popular press, television and podcasts. She has lectured across the world, including Pretoria, Moscow, Amsterdam, Cambridge, New South Wales, Oxford, and Oslo.
Over the past 25 years, Dean has remained an active, loyal alumna of Wesley. She has guest lectured to Wesley classes, served as keynote speaker at a Wesley convocation on youth ministry and partner churches, and delivered the commencement address for the seminary in May 2011. Additionally, she has served as an advisor and consultant to Wesley's president in recent years.
Wesley alumna Deborah C. Westbrook (M.Div. '05) and member of the seminary's Alumni Council nominated Dean. "I wanted to recognize Kenda's work because of the critical importance of the faithful young to the vitality, indeed survivability, of the future church," said Westbrook. "Kenda is an activist Christian, choosing to combine the advanced academic study of religion with an energetic, participatory application of Christian principles in community with others. Her career choice is to practical theology – to advancing the relevance of Christ to adolescents besotted by myriad cultural and personal distractions. She has engaged in this crusade for 25 years."
