I spent the entire day last Sunday reading.
- Reading this 113-page report on John Evans' relationship to the Sand Creek Massacre, issued at the end of May, and also related news coverage of the document.
- I also investigated the status of a similar enquiry being conducted by the University of Denver and learned that the DU Report report has not yet been issued.
- Finally, since the Massacre was instigated by Colonel Chivington, a prominent Methodist Minister, and since Governor Evans himself was a devout Methodist, I reviewed the actions of the Methodist Church in relation to the massacre, and, more broadly, their attempts to have an honest confrontation with official Methodist attitudes towards Native American populations in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Why a Report on This Subject So Many Years Later?
Anne Evans' father, John Evans (1814-1897), was a major founder of Northwestern University in 1851, when he lived in Chicago. John Evans was a significant influence on, and donor to, the institution for the rest of his life. He was appointed by Abraham Lincoln as the Second Territorial Governor of Colorado in 1862. He was forced to resign from that position in 1865 after Congressional and military enquiries into the brutal – and totally unjustified – 1864 massacre of a peaceful group of members of Arapaho and Cheyenne tribes camped at Sand Creek. One Congressional Committee, dissatisfied with Evans' indecisive answers to their questions (he was in Washington when the massacre occurred) recommended that Evans be removed as Governor. After the assassination of Lincoln, the new President Andrew Johnson requested Evans' resignation. Evans complied on August 4, 1865.
The Sand Creek Massacre, 150 years later, is still an unhealed wound.
Northwestern University's Always Glowing Account of Evans' Life, Achievements, and Contributions
In recent years, some students, faculty and other community members have raised questions about the University's complete silence regarding the massacre that abruptly ended Evans career as Governor. Some questioned whether "the University has glorified someone who does not deserve such treatment. Conversely, others have wondered whether the critics are subjecting Evans to the sort of a historical character assassination that judges a person in the past by the standards of the present." (1)
Appointment of Study Committee
In the winter of 2013, Northwestern University's Provost, Dan Linzer, appointed a committee of nine scholars – five from the faculty of Northwestern and four from other universities – "to examine in detail Evans's role in the massacre." Provost Linzer also asked the committee to try to determine "whether any of Evans's wealth or his financial support to Northwestern was attributable to his policies and practices regarding Native Americans in Colorado while he was in office." (ibid p. 2). The Committee was to issue its report by June, 1914.
Overview of the Report
The Report is a scholarly – and readable – document. It consists of 91 pages of text, plus extensive Chapter notes, bibliographical lists, links to Key Documents and Websites, and Acknowledgements.
The six chapters of text are: The Introduction, Chapter 1, which describes in detail the incomprehensible Massacre, characterized by one contemporary General as "perhaps the foulest and least justifiable crime in the annals of America." (ibid p. 9) The Chapter describes briefly John Evans' major contributions to the University, why its site – the town of Evanston – is named after him, and poses the questions before the Study Committee: about why the Massacre is never mentioned in University accounts of Evans' life, and what exactly was his role, and degree of responsibility, for the tragic event.
Chapter 2 summarizes Evans' life and relationship to Northwestern. Chapter 3 is about the historical background to the Massacre, a concise but thorough presentation. Chapter 4 details the course of events, during Evans time as governor, that led up to the massacre. Chapter 5 describes the aftermath of the massacre – the public outrage, the enquiries, and the Governor's resignation. Chapter 6 details the Committee's conclusions.
This is a brief summary of the report's contents. The next Newsletter (or two!) will be devoted to its content and, especially, to a discussion of its conclusions.

A Little Good News!
With all the distressing, even alarming, world news today, it is a pleasure to report on two recent good news items in Colorado.
So Far – So Good: Fort Lyon's New Role
Headlined "Disputed Treatment Center Sends Alums Out Into The World", a Denver Post article on August 20 celebrates the graduation of the first 11 formerly homeless people from the new residential treatment program at Fort Lyon.
As I reported in a previous Newsletter (March/April, 2014), "Fort Lyon was the jumping-off ground for Colonel Chivington's brutal massacre at Sand Creek" and then had successive reincarnations as Veterans' Hospital and Colorado State prison. In 2013, it embarked on a completely new mission, becoming a state-funded shelter, addiction treatment facility, and job-training center for the homeless.
After quite controversial legislation authorizing this program was passed, there was considerable speculation as to whether any of the homeless (especially from Denver, site of Colorado's largest homeless population) would voluntarily get on a bus to go to a distant destination in one of the most rural areas of the state. Governor Hickenlooper was a major supporter of this new and positive role for Fort Lyon. The Denver Post, in a May 12,10 1913 editorial headlined OK, GOVERNOR HICKENLOOPER, FORT LYON IS YOURS NOW was frankly skeptical about the chances for the project. "If it fails, voters will know where to place the blame. And if it succeeds, we will be the first to credit the governor for his commitment to the idea."
As of the end of November, 2013, 70 homeless people had taken up residence in the facility. They came from 15 counties, most from Denver, with 100 more on the waiting list. So this August 20, 2014 article is a welcome update on the lives of these new residents. Everyone is required to work, with a wide variety of tasks to choose from. Along with Bent County employees, the Post article reports, residents replaced the entire sewer system and are now working to restore a row of former officers' quarters. One woman works in 41/2-acre garden she started.
Residents each get a personalized recovery plan. There is a walk-in clinic and they can attend on site Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotic Anonymous meetings. They can improve their job skills by taking courses at nearby Otero Junior college and Lamar Community College.
The article is a positive one, both about the program's effects on the formerly homeless living there, and on the economic well-being of Bent County. But no effort on the Post's part, that I have yet seen, to carry through on its promise that, if the project to rehabilitate many of the homeless from Front Range cities in this very rural – and historic – setting succeeds, "we will be the first to credit the governor for his commitment to the idea." Perhaps it is too soon to declare the latest use of old Fort Lyon to be a success – but it certainly looks promising.
New Incarnation of Union Station: Have You Seen it Yet?
A couple of weeks ago, I finally made it, with a good friend, to see the Union Station development. We traveled by the RTD train from Jefferson County's "Taj Mahal" – my first experience of that fairly new transportation development. The whole experience was quite exhilarating.
The first pleasant surprise was to find the original Union Station happily fulfilling a dual role. The main waiting room area is still filling its original function. It is a public space, with comfortable furniture, a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, and interesting stores and places to eat in the spaces around the waiting area. All the upper floors now are rooms in the Crawford Hotel, named for Denver's urban renewal pioneer, Dana Crawford.
We ate lunch at one of the cafes with outdoor tables and chairs, facing the large public open space in front of the Station entrance from downtown Denver. It has borrowed and enlarged Aspen's idea of an installation of a rectangular series of fountains shooting up and falling randomly, inviting children to run through it – with a high possibility of getting soaking wet. This central feature is surrounded by pedestrian space. There were a few children daring the run, and strollers passing through the space. (I couldn't help wondering just what will happen in the large fountain area in the winter months.)
We did not have enough time to explore the rest of the impressive Union Station redevelopment project, with its new buildings and pedestrian areas. I only got a rough idea of the location of the three transportation terminals on the site – for "real" trains, RTD trains, and RTD buses, so I intend to make another visit soon. But I saw enough to feel that this Union Station redevelopment project will become a new magnet for interesting activity – in a once-deteriorating segment of the central area of Denver. And I thought again, with gratitude, of former Governor John Evans who wouldn't give up on his seemingly ridiculous vision of Denver becoming one of the great cities of the United States.
Amid all its recent coverage of the rebirth of Denver's Union Station, with its "$54 million addition of "a hotel, shops, restaurants and bars" (1), the Denver Post made a little excursion into our city's early history. They reminded readers that, more than a century before the 1980′s, when the city "was choking on a brown cloud of pollution and struggling with a decaying downtown and a sputtering economy,"(2) a gleeful leader in a rival city had pronounced Denver "too dead to bury."(3)
The year was 1865, and Denver's leaders had lost the battle to have the transcontinental railroad routed over the mountains and through their city. The Union Pacific Railroad understandably took the easier course through Cheyenne, Wyoming. Denver's economy, already adversely affected by the Civil War and the stagnation of gold mining, plunged into what could have been a death spiral. Population declined, business dwindled. The dire economic times forced the Colorado Seminary, forerunner of the University of Denver – which had opened with high hopes in 1864 – to close its doors.
The city's economic turnaround was largely due to the stubborn and persistent efforts of one man, John Evans. At the time, Evans was embroiled in his own serious troubles following the October,1864 Sand Creek Massacre, the issue over which he lost his position as Colorado's Territorial Governor. Nevertheless, when "a representative of the Union Pacific came to Denver…in 1867 to suggest that the businessmen of Denver should form a railroad company and build a line to Cheyenne with help from the Union Pacific, there was an immediate response from men like David Moffat, John Evans and William Byers."(4)
In my book, I describe the almost superhuman efforts of John Evans to assure the success of this venture, involving "an overwhelming series of financial organizations and reorganizations, contracts with construction companies, and congressional lobbying to secure land grants. At one point, with no prospects and construction at a complete standstill, Evans resigned as president of the board of directors and signed a contract to build the railroad and pay off its debts. At the beginning of 1870, Evans again became President of the Denver Pacific Railroad, and was on hand at the Denver Depot. when the tracks finally reached the city on June 23, 1870."(5)
The first incarnation of the Denver Union Station opened in 1881 – described as an Italianate structure with two stories and an 180-foot tower. The center section burned in 1894, and the entire structure was razed in 1914 to make room for the new neoclassical station which opened in 1917.

Who Knew She Was So Much Fun? Anne Evans' Zest for LifeBy · Comments
As I enjoyed the celebrations of the holiday season, I remembered one aspect of Anne Evans' personality, which I have not yet had an opportunity to "blog" about. This was her incredible zest for life. Spending any time as her guest was, by all accounts, a rare and enjoyable experience.
- After a few day's stay at Anne Evans' mountain home, one guest wrote on behalf of a small group, The hospitality of your friendly home quite overwhelmed us all…Dr. Steiner said 'in some homes one sees only wealth and material plenty, but In Miss Evans' home one sees love and a great spirit.' I(p. 345)
- In the research about her life, I found several accounts of her idea of hosting children as guests at her home on the Evans Ranch and quoted my favorite: A young niece and nephew, aged 11 and 13, were sent to spend a summer on the ranch with their Great Aunt. They were interviewed. Wide-eyed and apprehensive, they were told that one rule and one rule only must be obeyed. They trembled. "You must have a good time!" (p. 346)
- Anne Evans enjoyed the creative effort of devising plays and pageantry, both as part of the elaborate summer life up on the Evans Ranch, and as a participant in social and artistic activities in Denver. One such occasion was vividly described by Miriam Washburn Adams, remembering the time she was an art student from Colorado Springs, taking classes in the Denver Atelier headed by architect Burnham Hoyt, a longtime friend of Anne Evans. (pp. 356-8)
Miss Anne told Burnie she had written a medieval play she wanted acted on the stairway in her Mt. Evans home. She wanted ten members of the Atelier to come up Friday and give the play Sunday evening. Burnie sent word to us to be at Willie Mead's studio by 4:30 Friday afternoon. They had medieval costumes we could be squeezed into…I assure you as we drove through Denver, in the then popular open cars, we were gazed at–catcalls, boos, etc….Miss Anne all but expired when we tumbled into her house all dressed in these costumes! We looked wonderful that evening, in her out-of-this-world house with the enormous logs that made the inside as well as the outside…At breakfast, I will admit, we were a wild sight…
Burnie had us working all day Saturday…making all kinds of necessary crowns, horses, stars, out of cardboard; and believe you me, they had to be perfect–we were working for a perfectionist–but luckily one who could point the way to perfection. One development almost brought the project to a halt. After the most delicious lunch Saturday…it turned out a poisonous toadstool had been lurking in the lunch bowl. Sunday produced a sorry lot of actors. Burnie was the color of chalk. I was all right if I could sit down. By three in the afternoon most has recovered and they started rehearsing. At six, they gave the play.
Margaret Evans Davis (Anne Evans' niece) read the words on the other side of the screen as she wove her tapestry. Most of us were holding positions and draped up the stairs–Burnie and another man having a big tilt or joust on wooden horses at the top of the stairs. It really must have been fantastically lovely.
The audience for this intense effort was small (seven in all including Anne Evans) as it was for many other efforts on the ranch over the years. The reward was apparently more in participating than in the applause.
This is the second of a three-part blog post concerning Anne Evans' article about the Hopi Indians, their art and their Snake Dance, which was discovered after the publication of her biography.
To read the previous article, click here.
Anne Evans concluded her Fortnightly Club paper with a sensitive and well-informed description of the the Hopi Snake Dance. This was the subject of an earlier article, The Hopi Snake Dance, a Religious Ceremonial, the third of those that have surfaced since the biography's publication. This article was published in the Theosophical Quarterly in April, 1912. In both articles, Evans gave a brief description of her own experience of watching parts of the Snake Dance, or, as she preferred to call it, "the dramaturgy of the Sun-serpent Myth." It is not easy to find a satisfactory definition of dramaturgy that fits the sense in which she is using it. Perhaps the best one is "shaping a story into a form that may be acted." She wrote both descriptive pieces in the present tense.
The Snake Dance, she says, "is an elaborate nine-day prayer for rain that the crops may ripen and our children have food–then, afterwards that we too may have to eat." In the Hopi world, the snakes are wise Elder Brothers who, because they live underground, have "intimate relations with the spirits of springs and the germinating seeds."
Only the dramatic events of the eighth and ninth days are performed publicly, but she observes that the entire ceremony had already, in 1912, been witnessed and written about by scientific observers, who had gained the trust of the Hopi and so were freely admitted to the kivas where much of the first parts of the ceremony take place. As a broad generalization, Evans says, the first seven days are devoted to preparation and consecration.
- Altars, symbolizing rainclouds and lightning and the serpents of the four world quarters, are painted with colored sands: always yellow for the North, green or blue for West, red for South and white for East.
- Pa-hos or prayer sticks, of which eagle feathers are an indispensable part, are prepared and consecrated, and deposited by bearers at surrounding shrines on the plains.
- The bearers, on four successive days, make a complete circuit around the base of the mesa. They visit the farthest shrines on the first day. The circuit is contracted on each succeeding day, in the hope that the gods may "likewise so approach, the dry river-beds be swollen with water and the farmers hear the pattering of rain."
- Four days are also allocated to the capturing of the snakes. The hunt is ritually conducted, one day each to the North, East, South and West. "…afterward these formidable Elder Brothers must perforce undergo the priestly purification by water, smoke and breath before being duly laid upon the altar."
This is the first in a series of three blog posts about Anne Evans' article on the Hopi Snake Dance.
A recent controversy involving the Hopi Indians of Southwest Mexico reminded me that I had promised to write a blog post about the last of several articles, written by Anne Evans, that have come to light since the publication of her biography. The article, Hopi Snake Dance, was published in 1912.
Hopi and Eagles
The recent controversy was about whether the Hopi should be allowed to continue an age-old tradition. Each Hopi village raises a young eagle, feeding them with rabbits hunted by young boys, until the time of the Home Dance "when the Katsina spirits perform and the eagle absorbs their song-prayers." When the ceremony is over, the eagles are taken to a quiet place and quickly suffocated. "Their spirits are sent home with the Katsinas until the following year, when both are petitioned to return with their blessing power. Their bodies are taken to the kivas, where feathers are carefully plucked and arranged by religious purpose." The bodies are then buried with great reverence in a special cemetery, treating them exactly the same as human beings.
The Denver Post of May 26, 2013 carried a "pro and con" discussion of the issue. I believe Anne Evans would have deeply appreciated the viewpoint of David Whiteley, Curator of North American Ethnology at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, and a long-time student of Hopi culture and history, who wrote the "pro" side of the debate, (from which the quotes above are taken) supporting the Hopi right to carry on their ancestral tradition.
Whiteley notes that the Hopi have lived on the Colorado Plateau for at least a thousand years and that their whole culture, and interaction with their "landscape of little water," is essentially conservationist "The strongest surviving indigenous tradition in North America, Hopi religion focuses on seasonal and daily attention to preserving the world in balance." The real threat to the survival of raptors, he writes, lies in residential and municipal development in the region, and in industrial development throughout the West "Self-righteous blame of Hopi eagle-gathering is myopic scapegoating, and neglects true threats to those species and possible means to avert them."
Anne Evans and the Hopi
Anne Evans wrote two articles about what she learned from her many visits to what she called "Hopi Land." She made no secret of her sheer delight in this experience.
I understand that many good Americans when they die, are going to Paris. I'm secretly hoping that when one American dies, she may alternate Paris with Hopi land – about half and half, with a slight preponderance in favor of the latter.
I wrote about one of these articles in my biography of Anne Evans (pages 305-311)1. It was prepared for a 1920 presentation to the Denver Fortnightly Club. Her subject was The Art Impulse of the Hopi Indians2. In it she said that her intention was not to deal with the artifacts of Hopi culture, but to try to understand the "art impulse and the conditions which produce it." After reviewing the life and accomplishments of the Hopi potter Nampayo – interwoven with the experience of choosing one of her pots to purchase, and have decorated by her husband – Anne Evans concluded that the mainsprings of the Hopi Art Impulse were "Contemplation, Concentration, and Vision."
Perhaps, she says, these are universal wellsprings of art, but it is difficult in our complex "modern, everyday world" with its "mesh of native and foreign influences to be disentangled" to achieve what she saw in Hopi culture.
… their joy lies in their arts; in the patient production of pottery and textiles and baskets – in the songs which they sing at work and play and ceremonial – and in their dances and dramaturgies – all springing from a spontaneous desire of creation, so universal that no dividing line exists between audience and actor; between artist and creator.

Anne Evans wrote her article about the life and contributions of George Fox just over a hundred years ago.* She described him as a man sufficiently like ourselves – "speaking our own tongue, to a people of like traditions, within our own historical consciousness" – that reading his journal enables us "to actually feel the solid reality of the man…It is as though a portrait had been painted for us by his great Dutch contemporary, so Rembrandt-like is its compelling domination of the varying background, so golden the light, so rich and sombre the shadow."
The Essence of Fox's Message
Fox left his home village as a young man and describes himself as "a man of sorrows…Traveling up and down as a stranger in the earth…" He had a powerful personal revelation which transformed his values and established his mission for the rest of his life. "…all things were new, and all creation gave unto me another smell than before…I saw all the world could do me no good; if I had a king's diet, palace and attendance. all would have been as nothing, for nothing gave me comfort but the Lord by his power."
His message to one and all was simple and profound, "There is that of God within you. Hark!" If he could only express this truth with sufficient power, his work would be finished. His audience would be able to "shift for themselves and he was free to pass on to the work of arousing other men." Fox made no distinction between different social classes, "regarding each and all as equal in their high heritage." He paid no attention to the normal niceties of social manners or conventions.
In fact, writes Evans, "the seemingly trivial eccentricities of his manner and speech were what first riveted attention and insured him a hearing." He could have preached rationally about the equality of men, and met with little resistance. But because he refused to take off his hat, he "roused such a storm of rage and abuse among the smug class-worshippers, that all his powers of argument and eloquence were given full scope in lulling it." Fox was frequently imprisoned for refusing to take the oath of allegiance, and this meant that magistrates were forced to listen his arguments for refusing.
Fighting for Justice
One aspect of pre-reformation England that most infuriated Fox was the "devious and procrastinating methods" of the courts of justice which made justice for ordinary people "almost non-existent." The conditions in the prisons, in which Fox and thousands of his Quaker Friends found themselves so frequently, were absolutely deplorable. It is no wonder, writes Anne Evans, "that the Quakers have then and now felt prison reform as one of their sacred trusts."
Incredible Endurance
Evans marvels at Fox's powers of endurance. He carries on with his mission, in all seasons, frequently without shelter or food. He is severely beaten, often bleeding, he endures violence "not merely with stoical calm, but with grim joy in his opportunities." She attributes the poise and equilibrium which he maintained "without deviation" to "an entire freedom from ambition, a high resolve to make use of all spiritual gains for the common good…"
There were a few times when the constant persecution of himself and his followers became overwhelming. One such time was in the year 1670 when he suffered a "remarkable psychic crisis." Seriously ill, he took refuge in the home of a faithful Friend. Few thought he would survive. Under successively more repressive laws, simply to be a Quaker was grounds for imprisonment. "It was a cruel, bloody time, yet in due course it pleased the Lord to allay the heat of this violent persecution….As persecutions ceased…I began to recover beyond all expectations."
Organizational Achievements
Fox lived for more than twenty years after this episode, spending most of his time in London. These years "were largely concerned with organization, certain disruptions during his long imprisonments proving that the Society was too loosely knit to insure future usefulness." He was also constantly involved in the founding of schools, for he felt it important that the members of his Society be taught "whatever things were civil and useful in creation."
Until his death in 1691, Fox oversaw phenomenal growth in the Society of Friends. In England alone there were fifty thousand followers, and flourishing branches in Holland and in America, where William Penn had succeeded in instituting his "holy commonwealth."
George Fox's Legacy
Anne Evans writes that Fox "undoubtedly believed that his Society…would become universal, each member a vital organic part, acting freely for the good of the whole…Why should it not embrace the world?" But she says that he greatly underestimated the power of his own personality. When de died without having arranged for effective successors, "he left his people without a leader who could march forward gathering recruits by the mere force of his presence. The remarkable growth inevitably slackened…"
Nevertheless, Fox left a challenging legacy. The religion of the Friends is both an inward religion and a call to action. Fox was against war, and refused to fight. He spoke out against slavery and for the admission of women to the ministry. He wanted both boys and girls to study "everything practical and useful under creation." He believed that all human beings have "that of God within them," a potentially powerful inner voice to guide them. Because of this conviction, Fox believed that all – whether they were king or beggar, friend or enemy, English or (American) Indian or African – deserved equal respect.
Anne Evans concludes that it was a hundred years before an advocate for spiritual awakening and social justice as powerful as George Fox was heard in Britain. The "new prophet" was John Wesley. Anne Evans' account of Wesley's life and contributions was the subject of previous blogs.

Church Fire Spares Ronnebeck Sculpture
At 3:02 a.m. on the morning of Monday, May 13, 2013, the Denver Fire Department was called to a fire at the Episcopalian Church of the Ascension at 6th and Gilpin. The fire, which had started among some bushes outside the church, had spread to the inside.
According to the Denver Post, the building sustained heavy smoke damage and one of the stained glass windows was shattered. But the "massive wood carving over the altar was untouched. Beloved by church members, it was created by Arnold Ronnebeck, a German-American artist…"
About Arnold Ronnebeck
Arnold Ronnebeck was born in Prussia in 1885 to a well-educated family. He studied art in Berlin and Munich and then moved to Paris, deciding to focus on sculpture. He studied with Maillot and Bourdelle and attended Gertrude Stein's salons where he met Mabel Dodge, Pablo Picasso and American painters Charles DeMuth and Marsden Hartley. After serving in the German army in World War 1, he came to New York in 1922 where he was welcomed into Albert Stieglitz's circle of avant garde American artists. Ronnebeck was a skilled lithographer and prolific writer about artistic subjects, as well as a fine sculptor.
In 1925, Ronnebeck made a visit to Mabel Dodge Luhan in Taos, New Mexico, at her home, an artists' gathering place. There he met Philadelphia painter, Louise Emerson, whom he married the following year in New York. The couple were making a trip west on their honeymoon, and stopped in Denver.
Anne Evans and Arnold Ronnebeck
By 1926 what had started out in 1893 as the Denver Artists' Association had matured into the Denver Art Museum. Some of Ronnebeck's sculpture had been exhibited in its galleries and he was invited to give a pubic lecture on his own sculpture, and on modern sculpture in general. The lecture was well-received and Ronnebeck was invited by the Museum's Director to serve as its Art Advisor. The Ronnebecks moved to Denver, and remained here for the rest of their lives. Since Anne Evans had been on the Board of Trustees of the art group continuously since 1896, and was deeply involved in all its activities, it is certain that she was involved in Ronnebeck's appointment, and welcomed the new additions to the artistic life of Denver. Of her many interactions with the multi- talented Arnold Ronnebeck, I shall here highlight three:
- Not long after Ronnebeck was named Art advisor to the Art Museum, the Director, George William Eggers, resigned. With no change in his title, Ronnebeck was placed in charge of the Museum. He brought a prestigious show by his French mentor, Aristide Maillol, to Denver and persuaded the Trustees to purchase a cast of a life-size Maillol bronze nude. In 1929, the Board appointed Samuel Heavenrich, former curator of Harvard's Fogg Museum, as executive secretary to take over museum operations. Unfortunately, the two men were soon at loggerheads over what were the functions of an art museum and what kind of art the Denver Art Museum should be collecting. When their disagreements spilled out into the press, their services were terminated. The Board turned to long-serving trustee Anne Evans to take over as Interim Director until a qualified successor was found.
- This episode could have resulted in a cooling of relations between Ronnebeck and Evans, but obviously it did not. Ronnebeck was soon deeply involved in Anne Evans' Central City project. The renovation of the old Opera House and initiation of the summer festival there was the project in which she, and her equally capable friend Ida Kruse MacFarlane, invested the last years of their lives. Ronnebeck was a talented actor and played a substantial role in the 1932 Festival debut play, Camille. Ronnebeck was also the sculptor of a fine bronze bust of Anne Evans, which was presented by friends to the Denver Art Museum in 1933 in recognition of her dedication to the advancement of art in Denver.
- But then came the event that did deeply divide Arnold Ronnebeck and Anne Evans. This was over the design of a memorial to Mayor Robert Speer to be placed on the Civic Center. It was 1933. Vaso Chucovich, a Denver business man and friend of Mayor Speer, left $100,000 in his will to pay for the memorial. The design had to be approved by the Denver Art Commission, of which Anne Evans was a long-time member. I will not here recount the many unsuccessful attempts made to select a sculptor, but in the end the Trustees of the Chucovich Estate selected a design by Arnold Ronnebeck. Anne Evans declared it a sculptured atrocity and said, in so many words, that over her dead body would it be placed on the Civic Center. You will see no Speer memorial sculpture on the Civic Center. In the end, Mayor Stapleton persuaded the Trustees that it would be more appropriate to spend the money on a greatly needed Children's Wing at Denver General Hospital.
This is the last in a blog post series about Anne Evans' article, "John Wesley and the Methodists", written in 1909 for the Theosophical Quarterly. The article, which surfaced after the publication of my biography of Anne Evans, was about the life and teachings of the founder of Methodism, that religious denomination so fervently embraced by her parents, Governor John Evans and his wife, Margaret.
"John Wesley and the Methodists: The Unity at the Heart of All Religions."
"John Wesley and the Methodists: Earning the Nickname 'Methodist' and His Transformation – Part 2."
Wesley and the Moravians
In her article about John Wesley and the Methodists, Anne Evans noted how impressed John Wesley was by the behavior of a small group of Moravian Church members during the voyage to America. He kept in touch with them after landing. Attending the consecration of their bishop, he found it so simple, "so lacking in all usual pomp that he forgot the seventeen centuries intervening and imagined a time when pomp and state were not – when Paul the tent-maker or Peter the fisherman presided, yet with the demonstration of the Spirit of Power."
When he returned from America, fully conscious of his miserable performance as a missionary, John Wesley became the disciple of a young Moravian pastor. "The teaching seems to have been simple enough; merely the primal fact which, differently described, has inspired the teachers of the world – that God speaks directly to the heart of man." Anne Evans noted that Wesley described this, in Methodist terms, as "Justification by Faith." In broader, theosophical, terms, she translated this into "The Voice of the Silence."
Intellectual conviction was not enough: "he still had to undergo a season of humble seeking…a gradual widening of his sympathies and of his nature is apparent until…he tells of his moment of the great silence." Anne Evans then quoted directly from Wesley's writings, "My heart was strangely warmed; assurance was given me that my sins were taken away, even mine, and that I was saved from the law of sin and death."
Anne Evans described how Wesley "drew a gracious margin of peace…around this pivotal centre of his life by a grateful pilgrimage to the Moravian colonies at Marienbad and Herrhut." After spending a month in their community guest-houses, attending religious services and talking with bishops and laymen, he came away with a deeper insight into spiritual life – but also questioning whether the Moravians were not too insistent on the glorification of their own church, too spiritually exclusive? These questions were soon to prove "the rock that turned aside the little rill of Methodism from the Moravian stream, to run its own independent course…"
No Welcome Home from the Church of England
Although Wesley returned to London eager to engage in the work of teaching, organizing and preaching, he soon found that the pulpits of the church were promptly and universally closed against him. This in spite of the fact that he "never considered himself as other than a devout churchman, or the Methodists as aught save a society for the purpose of spiritual culture and philanthropic work, strictly within the church's fold."
Trying to discover why Wesley's efforts aroused so much antagonism from church leaders, Anne Evans concluded that it was because the moving spirit of the times, both in society and within the Church of England, "was a tepid rationalism; the mildest enthusiasm was enough to bring the word into disrepute…"
The "Wonder-Story" of Wesley, Preacher and Organizer
The closing of church pulpits forced Wesley to "turn commons and bowling greens into churches." And so unfolded, in Anne Evans' words, "The wonder-story of the next fifty years…Up and down the length and breadth of England, preaching, teaching, exhorting, never resting, rode the indomitable little man, blessing providence for the hatred against him which brought the lowest and most profligate within the circle of his listeners. Such preaching had not been heard in phlegmatic England for a hundred years and more..."
In addition to his unparalleled gifts as a preacher ("The rabble and mobs who came full of hatred to scoff and jeer and do him bodily harm were held, subdued, and won, departing with a new light by which to live") Wesley's concern for the well-being of those who came to hear him preach, developed him into a brilliant organizer. Whenever he preached, he organized a Methodist group, "and as soon as he organized a group he studied the cause of their misery and spared no effort to remove it."
He organized charity after charity; "hospitals, schools, orphanages, free medical dispensaries, provident loan associations, each to meet some crying want of his people." Similarly, as the movement spread throughout Great Britain and Ireland, "he worked out bit by bit the organization of his society, still one of the most highly centralized, most flexible bodies in existence."
Principles of John Wesley's Methodism
According to Anne Evans, the conditions on which individuals could be admitted to membership in the Methodist society were testaments to "the liberality, the toleration, the open-mindedness of the great founder." There was no limitation of opinions imposed on would-be members, according to Wesley's own writings. "Let them be Churchmen or Dissenters, Presbyterians or Independants, it is no obstacle. The Quaker may be a Quaker still and none will contend with him about it…Is there any other society in the habitable world so free from bigotry?"
The major Wesleyan principles that Anne Evans describes in her essay are:
- The only test of fitness to join the Methodist enterprise was "Dost thou love and serve God? It is enough; I give thee the right hand of fellowship."
- Wesley "always affirmed that he would abandon any teaching that could not safely make appeal to his reason, but he did not limit his reason to the narrow realm of past-proven facts and skeptical logic. An eager explorer, he haunted the borderland of science…"
- When he was a student at Oxford, John Wesley found that he could live on less than his yearly allowance of thirty-five pounds, and so have seven pounds left for charily. As his earnings grew with his fame, his expenses for living remained the same. "In a world of want, he could not permit himself wealth."
One historian, according to Anne Evans, believed that the most notable accomplishment of the Wesleyan movement was its continuing effort "to remedy the guilt, the ignorance, the social degradation of the profligate and the poor." Another historian designated Wesley as "the power which prevented the French Revolution from spreading through England." But Anne Evans believed that it was important to remember that the great size, power, and volume of good works of the Methodist Church of her day "were but …the practical fruits of a life of applied devotion. Its great strength, its inherent growing power, came from the fact that it was from first to last primarily a religious revival – a revival of the practice of the presence of God."

Anne Evans does not give an exact source for her direct quotes from John Wesley's writings.
This is the second in a three-part blog post series about John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist Church. The quotes are from Anne Evans' article titled John Wesley and the Methodists. Click here to read the first blog post.
Charterhouse and Christ Church College, Oxford
"Neither the Charterhouse School nor Christ Church College…seem to have found him (John Wesley) an especially noteworthy denizen, though a good and tractable pupil." So wrote Anne Evans in her 1909 article about Wesley. However, she noted that Wesley later credited "much of his physical endurance to the fact that for years of his early life he scarcely tasted animal food, his portion of meat being invariably stolen and devoured by the school bullies."
"A Systematic Life of Ceaseless Toil"
After graduation from Christ Church, Wesley was ordained a minister of the Anglican Church and was admitted as a fellow of Lincoln College, where he prophetically wrote that "Leisure and I have parted company forever." The (not particularly complimentary) nickname of "Methodist" was given to Wesley by more happy-go-lucky Oxonians, because of "his methodical planning and utilizing of each minute of each day, both for himself and for the group of like-minded youths who straightway gathered about him."
The small group accepted the nickname with good humor, and soon reinforced its meaning by their strict observance of the rituals of the Anglican Church and "their strenuous philanthropy, both consciously calculated for a high return in personal spiritual gains." Anne Evans comments that of course, the movement did not become popular, "for it was exclusive and self-seeking and righteous over much."
So, in spite of the fact that John Wesley was personable, had good manners, a quick wit and a "keen logical faculty," his years as an Anglican minister in Oxford were something of a failure. But not as much of a failure as his next religious venture.
Missionary to the American Colonies
John Wesley was dispatched to the Colonies in 1735 to take up duties as an Anglican minister in Savannah, Georgia. Anne Evans describes his two years there as "grotesque in their solemn futility." He courted a woman who rejected his advances and married another man. His insistence on exact religious ceremonial form did not go down well with "frontiersmen, careless of proprieties, struggling with raw, half-savage conditions." In fact, his congregation rebelled. He made no attempt to reach the Indians with his message because, he wrote, "there was not one to be found desirous of his teaching." He had to return to England, dispirited and at a loss as to what to do next.
What happened to transform this good but despondent man into a firebrand, preaching "unflinchingly to a half-mad rabble, who howled their anger and derision and repeatedly threatened his very life," but who, by Wesley's preaching, "were held, subdued, and won, departing with a new light by which to live"?
The Humble Moravians
Wesley's transformation began when he encountered, on the voyage to America, a small band of members of the Moravian Church. He was strongly attracted by their "simplicity, their cheerfulness, their willingness to serve in the humblest offices, unpaid and unthanked…" (These qualities undoubtedly appealed greatly to Anne Evans, for they were ones she strove to follow herself. She spent a good deal of time researching the history and tenets of the Moravian Church for an article she wrote on the subject, which I covered briefly in my biography of her.) Wesley discovered some extraordinary characteristics of these Moravian passengers: "No neglect could rouse them to protest, no insult to anger, no danger to terror." He saw these characteristics in action on the voyage, when a huge wave washed over the ship, throwing "all the other passengers into a wild panic while the Moravians, undisturbed, continued the hymn they were singing at evening worship." Wesley asked their bishop, "Do not even your women and children know fear?" The bishop replied confidently, "Not fear of death, certainly."

Manila, Philippines – Adopt south-south cooperation as the preferred mode for capacity building and support organizations like the Asian Environmental Compliance and Enforcement Network (AECEN) to act as intermediaries, said Dr. Peter King, Head of the AECEN Secretariat, to the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
Bangkok, Thailand – Stronger leadership in Thailand's environmental administration and more stringent enforcement of green regulations are among recommendations to improving the country's environmental governance.
Minimizing adverse environmental impacts of economic development accompanied by rapid urbanization and industrial growth remains a significant compliance and enforcement challenge for Asia. While many governments have developed legal and institutional frameworks for environmental and social safeguards, implementation and enforcement of environmental laws and regulations remains weak due in large part to technical, financial, and human capacity limitations.
Once every two years, IGES releases a white paper focusing on key policy agendas in the Asia-Pacific region. The Fourth IGES White Paper, entitled "Greening Governance in Asia-Pacific" examines innovative approaches to governance and institutions that have emerged from the region and recommends governance arrangements and policy solutions to accelerate the transition to a green economy, and argues that, without significant governance reform in Asia-Pacific, global sustainable development will remain an under-implemented ideal rather than a new reality.
On July 10-11, 2012, the Indonesia Ministry of Environment (MOE) conducted a workshop on Strengthening Public Participation on Environmental Management in Indonesia. Co-organized with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), about 100 participants from government agencies, NGOs, academia and the private sector shared ideas on the Public Participation Guide developed by USEPA and the application of public participation principles in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process.
The AECEN 2011 Award for Commitment and Outstanding Service by a Woman was presented to Dato' Hajah Rosnani binti Ibrahim, former Director General of the Department of Environment, Malaysia.
The Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) recently established an Environmental Compliance Assistance Center (ECAC) catering to local government units (LGUs) in the country. The center will provide fast and reliable technical assistance to local government authorities and officials for their environment- related concerns. The establishment of the ECAC for LGUs is the agency's response to improve understanding and strengthen capacity of local agencies both as enforcers of environmental laws and also as operators of regulated establishments.
On November 8-10, 2011, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) worked with Vermont Law School to conduct a judicial training in Kunming, China in collaboration with the China University of Political Science and Law, the Center for Legal Assistance to Pollution Victims, and the Humanities College of Southwest University of Forestry located in Kunming. Approximately 30 judges from three provinces (Yunnan, Hainan, and Guizhou) participated in the training.
On November 29-30, 2011, Vietnam hosted a regional consultation meeting in Hanoi joined by counterpart officials from Korea, Malaysia and Thailand to share ideas on a draft technical guideline on contaminated soil monitoring. At the consultation meeting, experts shared lessons learned and recommendations based on implementation challenges and success in their respective countries. As for the next steps, Vietnam's Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment will finalized the technical guidelines and explore opportunities to continue their twinning partnership with Korea.
On October 25-26, 2011 in Bangkok USAID and the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) co-organized a workshop on mainstreaming climate change adaptation and the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process under the auspices of the Asian Environmental Compliance and Enforcement Network (AECEN) and the Asia Pacific Adaptation Network (APAN).
Interior permanent secretary Wiboon Sanguanpong said that all elements of the project were ready to go, including staffing and finance, but they were still awaiting approval from the director-general of the Treasury Department for construction to begin.
Mr Wiboon said the pilot waste-to-energy project was planned on a 400-rai block of land (640,000 square metres) in Mahaphram sub-district of Bang Ban district in Ayutthaya province. The land is under the jurisdiction of the Treasury Department.
The People's Committee of the southern province of Tay Ninh is fining a paper production company over VND235 million (US$11,100) for discharging untreated waste into the environment.
The Anh Sang paper company, located in Go Dau District, released 20cu.m of untreated waste each day into the Vam Co Dong river.
Test results from samples of the released waste water revealed that the chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the river was 14.6 times more than permitted levels. Additionally, the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) during the five-day test was 5.98 times higher than permitted levels
It was important to come up with ways to mitigate CO2 emissions in agriculture, which produces approximately 43 percent of the nation's greenhouse gas emissions, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Quoc Doanh said at a recent seminar.
Doanh announced that the ministry had already set up a working group in charge of pushing Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) to achieve this goal. The group was set up under the framework of a three-year project launched in March that organises training courses for policymakers and experts on developing NAMA plans.
An update to the Merchant Shipping Act with clauses to tackle pollution from cargo ships has been sent to the Attorney-General ahead of its formal submission to parliament, says an official from the Ministry of Transport.
The bill proposes "stiff fines" for both water and air pollution and a more developed maritime security framework, according to said U Ye Myint, a director in the ministry's department for setting laws and technological standards.
The Supreme Court of India acted wisely to protect both the nation's democracy and environment in a landmark decision last week that orders the government to scrap 214 coal mining concessions. Among the cancellations is a concession granted to Essar Energy and its Indian partner, Hindalco Industries, in the Mahan forest in the state of Madhya Pradesh. Local communities had fought bitterly to block the mine, which they feared would destroy large tracts of the forest where they live.
Depending on which side of the fence people have found themselves on, the responses to the quick regulatory changes that the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has brought about over the last three months have clearly differed. The changes have ranged from bringing in calculated dilutions, striking a balance between environment and economy, ensuring regulatory efficiency to removing roadblocks to economic growth.
Most major investors to India, project proponents and the line ministries have been complaining against the inordinate delays and ambiguities in the decisions related to the Environmental Clearance (EC). The New government is therefore making all the efforts to move on the "fast track".
A top human rights lawyer has criticised the Pollution Control Department (PCD) for lengthy delays in the clean-up of Kanchanaburi's lead-contaminated Klity Creek.
Speaking after a meeting with the PCD, Lawyers Council of Thailand representative Surapong Kongchantuk said the department must speed up restoration of the creek.
The PCD called a meeting of its Klity Creek working committee on Friday, the first since the Supreme Administration Court ordered the department in January last year to restore the creek.
The US is poised to 'deregulate' GMO corn, soybean and cotton varieties resistant to the herbicides 2,4-D and dicamba. The result will be a big increase in the use of those herbicides, as high as 600%. Only a huge public outcry can now stop the GMO-herbicide juggernaut.
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has issued its final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and proposed approval for new GMO corn and soybean varieties genetically engineered to be resistant to the toxic herbicide 2,4-D.
The executives mingled over tea and sugar cookies, and the chatter was upbeat. Their industry, they said at the conference in the Indian capital, saves lives and brings roofs, walls and pipes to some of the world's poorest people.
The industry's wonder product, though, is one whose very name evokes the opposite: asbestos. A largely outlawed scourge to the developed world, it is still going strong in the developing one, and killing tens of thousands of people each year.

Lincecum removed from Giants starting rotationCarl Steward, San Jose Mercury News
SAN FRANCISCO -- Tim Lincecum is being removed from the Giants' starting rotation and replaced by Yusmeiro Petit, manager Bruce Bochy said Monday, and the switch will be open-ended depending on how both pitchers perform in their new roles.
Lincecum will move to the bullpen and could be available as soon as Tuesday. Petit, who is working on a remarkable string of 38 consecutive batters retired, will take Lincecum's start Thursday against the Colorado Rockies.
"We're going to give Timmy a break," Bochy said. "More than anything, he needs to clean up his delivery a little bit. He was out of sorts, and he's been working on it hard. Sometimes you can tinker a little bit too much with it. We just want to get him cleaned up and get him back to where he was not too long ago."
For now, Lincecum will simply be skipping one start, but that could change.
"We'll make the call on the next start after the Petit start," Bochy said.
Bochy added that Lincecum is "all for this," but the manager was clear that he hopes that the 30-year-old right-hander can find the form he exhibited from May through mid-July and regain his rotation spot during the September stretch run.
"A month or six weeks ago, he was throwing the ball as well as anybody," Bochy said. "But he knows it's probably a good time for this to try and clear his head. It would be critical to get him throwing like he was not too long ago, but I also think he can help us out in the bullpen. That's not a bad thing."
Over his last six starts, Lincecum has a 9.49 ERA and has given up 41 hits in 24 2/3 innings. His last start on Saturday against the Washington Nationals was a total disaster -- he lasted just 2 2/3 innings, the second-shortest outing of his career, and gave up six hits and six runs while walking four.
When Lincecum was going well earlier in the year, Bochy said Lincecum "had better balance, less effort with his delivery and obviously he had confidence, too. I'm sure that's part of it. When you can't get the ball where you want, you start pressing and you compound the damage."
Lincecum was not available for comment before Monday's game against Colorado.

Stopping Cloudflare SSL
I implemented the CloudFlare flexible SSL and installed the CloudFlare SSL plugin on JT30.com and all of the pages correctly redirected to HTTPS. This was supposed to be a good thing. I did it because I was supposed to get an SEO bump from Google.
The actual result that the Google search query results according to Google Webmaster Tools dropped to practically nothing starting the day that I changed to SSL. Google stopped sending me traffic as soon as I turned on the CloudFlare flexible SSL.
Today I turned it off (which is pain because WordPress likes to go into an endless redirection loop). I have to go into FTP to delete the CloudFlare plugin and go into PHPMyAdmin to change the site URL in the WP_OPTIONS table to HTTP from HTTPS. This is unpleasant.
I am waiting for the Mozilla SSL to come out, and I am hoping my web hosting company will let me set it up without having to pay them a fee. If they don't, I'll have to change hosting companies yet again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Beef Nice and comfortable This new hotel is nice and comfortable. What a nice surprise to see such a modern and stylish hotel in Zhengzhou! Friendly staff and good SPG recognition (room upgrade to platinum member). I will come back when in Zhengzhou again. April 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hendie Wonderful Zhenzhou Just back from a weekend getaway using Le Meridien as my base while I explored the area what a wonderful oasis it is so new an just perfect in everyway. The staff couldn't help me enough I the bathroom was spectacular. resturant choices were also very good. I used the executive club lounge the afternoon tea was worth the extra cost. All the staff have a higher than excepted English which was a surprise but help my stay. Zhengzhou is a great base to explore Henam provience May 7, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by MarkTian No improvement shown in this hotel. Hotel arranged a room facing the city instead of the main street, less noise coming up and that was good. However, the furniture or the room decoration material kept making some cracking noise during the night...not a good sleep as well. Checked with my other workmates, they felt the same way. The shower room did not take all the water timely, the water almost covered my feet and looks like it was going to be a big tub. And then the water flow to the rest room, I happened to leave my jeans and socks on the ground in the rest room, they were all wet... No recognition of the SPG until I show them the card. It could be understandable If it was the 1st time, but this is the 2nd time, just unbelievable. May 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by CK50505050 Good and Bad The hotel staffs are generally very welcoming, and has created s lot of conveniences such as quick check-out for frequent stayers. Hotel lounge has a good view of the city, and their service is good, and personal. Lounge staff always recognises and provides a warmly welcome. Facility wise the hotel has all it needed to be a 5-star hotel. Just that the quality of services at certain facilities (e.g. gym and swimming pool) still need to be improved. August 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Yen2014 This hotel has great features. General speaking, the staffs are very helpful, the facilities are great. I like the coffee coupon card in the room that gave me an exceptional experience in the lobby lounge. The live jazz band was great too. August 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dingdingdongdong Great experience It's really a great experience to stay at Le Méridien Zhengzhou, the staff were nice/ polite and helpful! August 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MichaelChak Excellent Stay! Stayed in hotel to celebrate and enjoy my birthday. I LOVE to stay with Le Meridien, as I always feel like back to home. Thanks for everything! August 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rattlesnake Feedback I am a big fan or LeMeridien. This is my first time in ZZ. The room was good, but I did not get the same SPG recognition - first time I was on a lower floor and a regular room (always got a junior suite). Recommend more English speaking staff even on the phone. Also need more vegetarian options and restaurants either in the hotel or nearby. Gym is good, but recommend adding a hot tub near the pool and a massage place. July 14, 2014

Prime location in Indy, historic home, very spacious room at a great price (parking,internet,breakfast included)! Inn keeper Kathy was super friendly and made a killer spinach mushroom quiche on Sat. and apple cinnamon french toast on Sun. for breakfast.
Charm, clean, easy to check in and out.
Privacy was a little less than ideal. Meaning you could hear people in the common space and the people on each side of you. Goes with the charm of an older home and B&B, but just an observation.
I liked the Victorian and romantic feelings of this place, and loved the board games available!
It's an old house so you can easily hear when people are moving around etc.
Renatta the owner of this Bed and Breakfast really made our stay a remarkable one. She is the best hostess that I've ever encountered. She has done a wonderful job with the house and grounds.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car hires can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

Ford Focus Extends Streak As Best-Selling Vehicle Nameplate Worldwide through First Half of 2013
- Ford Focus maintains its leadership as the best-selling vehicle nameplate globally, based on Ford analysis of the latest Polk global vehicle registration data for the first half of 2013
- Globally, Focus is up 20 percent in the first half of 2013 compared with the same period last year
- In addition, Ford Fiesta ranks as the fourth best-selling vehicle overall, and is the world's best-selling subcompact vehicle through June 2013
- Ford is the only brand with two nameplates among the global top five best-sellers
DEARBORN, Mich., Oct. 23, 2013 - Ford Focus, the best-selling vehicle nameplate in the world in 2012, retains the title for the first half of 2013.
In addition, Ford Fiesta ranks as the fourth best-selling vehicle – making Ford the only brand to have two nameplates among the global top five best-sellers, according to Ford analysis of Polk global vehicle registration data.
Ford Focus grew 20 percent in the first half of 2013 from the same period last year, to 589,709 vehicle registrations, driven primarily by increasing demand from customers in China and other Asian countries. Focus in China is up 137 percent from 2012, to a total of 202,380 vehicles, making China the single biggest global market for the car with one-third of Focus sales.
Xiao Bing, a 31-year-old sales manager for an IT company in Beijing, is one such new Focus customer.
"The new Focus looks high-tech and meets my aesthetic expectations," Bing says. "It has significantly changed from the previous model. The car's handling is great. When I test-drove it, the new Focus cornered smoothly. Overall, it's the best combination of looks, performance, value and fuel economy."
Customers are responding enthusiastically to Focus in other Asian countries, as well. Through September, Ford reports Focus sales are up 193 percent in Indonesia, 72 percent in both the Philippines and Vietnam, and 42 percent in Thailand.
Fiesta Also a Best-Seller
Ford Fiesta joins Focus among the five global best-sellers, and earns the top spot as the best-selling subcompact car globally, with 356,434 units registered in the first half of 2013.
"Fiesta is off to a terrific start, and Focus just keeps getting better – especially in China," said Jim Farley, Ford executive vice president, global marketing, sales and service and Lincoln. "This is One Ford at its best: great-looking vehicles with great fuel economy, leading quality, technology and fun-to-drive personalities."
Combined, global registrations of Ford's small cars – Fiesta and Focus – total 946,143 vehicles for the first six months of the year, representing an 8 percent increase.

Ha TinhHa Tinh is up to its ears in Cu Do, which you should definitely sample even if you're just passing through town.
Otherwise, eats are basic, but we had good luck with a nice bowl of chao (rice soup) and some oc nong (steamed sea snails) at Thuy Nha, on the west side of the main road just north of the Dai Bang Hotel. They also have nice, cold Huda beer.
Just a few doors to the north of that, Binh Nga offers up Be Thui (slow-roasted calf), and there's usually a carcass on a spit out in front of the shop. A plate that will satisfy 5 or 6 diners goes for 100,000 VND, and they have well-chilled Anchor beer on tap.

NEW YORK (July 16, 2008) DiBella Entertainment middleweight James Buddy McGirt Jr. (18-1, 9 KOs) faces his next test next Friday night July 25 as he takes on talented, quick handed veteran, Raymond Joval (37-4, 16 KOs). The fight will be televised on ESPN2 Friday Night Fights LIVE from The City Center in Saratoga Springs, New York..
The Brentwood, NY born McGirt is coming off the first loss of his career, a seventh round knockout at the hands of power puncher Carlos DeLeon Jr. (20-2-2, 13 KOs) on April 11 in Miami. McGirt had just knocked down DeLeon to end the sixth round. As McGirt was about to finish him off, DeLeon countered with a big left hook to get the tough-fought win.
This is do or die time for me, said McGirt. I had the opportunity to showcase my skills on national television in Miami and I didnt capitalize on it. July 25 in Saratoga is going to be a different story. I am going to get my career back on track with a win over Joval.
The night of fights is promoted by Pugnacious Promotions in association with DiBella Entertainment. For tickets, please visit the City Center Box Office or call (518) 527-0160.

well, i enjoyed some of my homebrew the other night and got quite intoxicated (hammered actually). so, i ended up doing the drunk impulse buy thing and got the weldless keggle fitting from bargain fittings. i did this late friday night or early saturday (hard to recall ). needless to say, the fitting arrived on my doorstep on monday morning!!!!! now that is what i call prompt service. i have never had a business ship anything over the weekend like that. anyway, i just wanted to express my appreciation and extreme satisfaction with their service. i will definately hit them up for some more business.
sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.
Do they email you a confirmation or send a tracking number? I ordered one a few days ago and haven't heard anything, but I guess the payment just went through yesterday. I don't expect it to arrive quickly since I'm in Alaska, but I like to track the stuff I order.
well, i ordered using paypal. i got an e-mail confirmation through paypal with the confirmation/receipt number and tracking information. so, technically, i don't guess i received a notice directly from bargain fittings. i would only assume that since they took the time to package and ship something out in the middle of the weekend that they would be more than happy to help you out if you called or e-mailed them.
Ya, I need that cooler fitting to do my first AG batch, but it's christmas eve tomorrow...
Stainless Weldless kits and Flat $5.00 shipping to USA 50 States!
STAINLESS STEEL 3 piece valves $10.95! 2 piece valves $7.99
When you install them with teflon tape they will seat fully.
These are tapered pipe threads except for the lock nut which is straight threaded. They are only designed to screw down a portion of the thread.
Install instructions are here:
If you have a problem feel free to contact me.
I have ordered roughly $500 in parts over 10 orders from Bargainfittings in the last 6 months. I don't think any of the orders have taken more than 72 hours to show up on my doorstep even if I ordered them Friday or over the weekend. Wayne is the man. Not to mention his prices are better than everyone for the equivalent parts. $19 for a complete SS bulkead, brass ball valve/barb is half the price my LHBS charges.
Wayne do you have a frequent shopper discount?
