If you've ever looked for an effective, yet easy to remember argument that you can use to move your theist friend from theism to Christian, or your atheist friend to a place of skepticism of his unbelief, the minimal facts approach to the resurrection of Jesus may be the one you want. Lots of people are interested in speaking into the lives of their skeptical friends. The problem is that most lay people have jobs, families, and lives that demand their time. It's just not possible for everyone to become experts in each philosophical and scientific apologetic. People need a go to argument that is effective. Gary Habermas has given one, the minimal facts approach to the resurrection.
There are a certain number of claims that scholars agree upon. These claims about the person of Jesus of Nazareth are accepted as minimally true. This is the basis of Gary Habermas' minimal facts approach to the argument for the resurrection of Jesus. Gary Habermas is one of the worlds leading scholars on the resurrection and is a professor of philosophy and apologetics at Liberty University, has a PhD from the University of Michigan State University in History and Philosophy of Religion and an MA in Philosophy of Religion from the University of Detroit. He has authored several books. Let's examine his argument.
The foundation is built upon a several year study that Habermas undertook in which he read and documented those historical claims that were accepted as true by relevant scholars. Now, I know we need to define some of those terms, and Habermas does that for us.
By the word scholar, Habermas used the works of people who are academic scholars in relevant fields to historical studies. These scholars are not mathematicians or astrophysicists they were historians and scholars of ancient literature. Furthermore, there were no religious qualifications added to the criteria. Skeptics, agnostics, atheists, various religious, and Christian scholars were accepted. Habermas did not seek scholars who would only verify his theory. The works used by Habermas were French, English, and German. That's a pretty broad scope and very fair.
So, what about these truths or historical facts? Habermas sought what he calls "minimal" facts. By the word minimal he means those basic claims about Jesus and his disciples that find unanimous agreement within the historical academic scholarship such as; Jesus died on a Roman cross, his disciples ran or were afraid for their own lives, and the empty tomb.
This argument takes a very matter of fact, easily understandable, and in your face approach. "Here are the facts, deal with them!" Or "we all agree that these are historically verified, draw your own conclusion". I like it. I believe it's an easy to learn, easy to repeat argument and if taken to task on the sources, the layperson can merely use the skeptic's own "guns" against him. With little more than a short memory or a cheat card in your wallet, you can put this argument in your repertories and use it at will.
Furthermore, with this resurrection argument, you can force people to deal with the person of Christ and skip much of the academic stuff involved with the Cosmological or Teleological arguments or the philosophical stumps in the Moral argument and Ontological argument. This is simply because of the presuppositions that are dealt with intrinsically with a resurrection argument. If a person who claims to be God and predicts his death and resurrection is able to produce, then God's existence, miracles, purpose, design, etc. become mere presuppositions in one step. That sounds easy. Getting people to admit it is another thing.
So, let's look at these facts. These are the "minimal" facts that scholars agree upon:
- Jesus died by crucifixion.
- He was buried.
- His death caused the disciples to despair and lose hope.
- The tomb was empty. (Most contested)
- The disciples had experiences, which they believed were the literal appearances of the risen Jesus.
- The disciples were transformed from doubters to bold proclaimers.
- The resurrection was the central message.
- The preached the message of Jesus' resurrection in Jerusalem.
- The Church was born and grew.
- Orthodox Jews who believed in Christ made Sunday their primary day of worship.
- James was converted to the faith when he saw the resurrected Jesus.
- Paul was converted to the faith.
As you can see, what these "minimal" facts lack in number, they more than make up for in tenacity. But in case you don't immediately see the significance of these facts, we'll put them to use in an argument for Jesus' resurrection in the next article.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Apolo Ohno made a career of frenzied, 40-second bursts around the track so the speedskating champion knows his crusade to join the exclusive Ironman fraternity is daunting.
It is also downright frightening, admits the eight-time Olympic medalist, who will have television cameras documenting his every stride.
Ohno says it is not just the 140.6-mile Ironman combination of swimming, biking and running a marathon that has him on edge, but the punishing conditions he will have to endure.
"Hell yeah," the short track maestro offered with a nervous chuckle when asked if he was uptight about competing in next month's World Ironman Championship in Kona, Hawaii.
"The reality is, as a human being, there is a little fear in there. I'm thinking, 'Man, I might hit the wall and I might not finish.'"
Ohno, the most decorated American in Winter Olympic history, has clearly been pondering the harsh setting he and some 2,500 other triathletes will encounter on Oct. 11.
"It's a 2.4-mile open water swim, followed by a 112-mile bike ride in up to 30-40 mph crosswinds, followed by a full marathon, all in one day, in 100-degree heat, 100-percent humidity, running and biking through perhaps 136-degree ambient temperature because of the black lava rocks," he said.
"It's extreme. It's a tough test on the human body. You find out what you can put yourself through."
Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl MVP Hines Ward, a friend of Ohno's, competed in the same event a year ago and is quick to say it's the hardest thing he's ever done.
One minute into it, he knew it was going to be rough.
"With the open-start swim in the ocean, everyone starts at the same time," said the 38-year-old Ward, who retired from the National Football League in 2011. "That was a mental challenge. People grabbing on you, getting kicked by both guys and girls.
"I felt like I was on the gridiron."
He got little solace on the bike after he jumped out of the water.
"The headwinds were right in my face. I'm hammering down on this bike and going absolutely nowhere," he said. "It took everything out of my legs.
"That's something I'd never experienced. But those are the elements."
The 32-year-old Ohno has been a dancer, game-show host and broadcaster since hanging up his skates after the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. He said he decided to try the Ironman because "a retired Olympic athlete is always striving for new challenges to push him or herself physically or mentally".
"I came from a sprinting background, a 40-second athlete followed by periods of rest of 20 minutes or more," he said. "Some people say, 'Well, you're an Olympic athlete, this should be easy for you, no problem.' No, this is different.
"The reason why it's so much different is because I spent 15 years of my life shaping my body to produce the most amount of power into the ice for only 40 seconds long.
"I trained my central nervous system to shut down and prepare for a recovery period. Now though, I'm on the bike, I'm on a run. I simply don't have that luxury."
Paula Newby-Fraser, winner of the Ironman World Championship eight times, is training Ohno. The 52-year-old, who grew up in South Africa, said she had to "basically blow apart" everything the ice skater knew about training as a short track athlete.
"The constant in this is his athletic talent," said Newby-Fraser, who also trained Ward for the Ironman. "It's a gift. He's an athletic force of nature."
Despite his physical tools, Ohno is certain he will not finish in the top 10 at Kona. Newby-Fraser said comparing an Ironman athlete and an Olympian "is like a whole different genre of music".
"It's like being at a Kiss concert and then going to a concert of classical music," she said. "Just because Gene Simmons is great on stage, you can't give him a violin and expect him to be great. It's just that different."
Ward said his first triathlon experience in San Diego was "humbling," getting passed by men in their 50s and 60s. "Here I am a Super Bowl MVP, a Super Bowl champion, an elite athlete and I've never felt so out of shape in my life," he said.
Last year in Kona, "I was just getting off the bike and the winner was just finishing," he said. "The crowd was going crazy. It was so demoralizing. You're just starting on the run and you see all these people finishing up.
"I was like, 'Oh, geez, I still have to run a marathon.'
Despite finishing so far behind the leaders, Ward got a tattoo of the Ironman logo the day after the event. The fact that he has no NFL tattoos but got an Ironman one right after the event says something about the accomplishment.
"The Ironman is one of the most grueling events out there," he said. "Crossing that finish line is one of the most rewarding things ever."
Ohno, whose journey is being chronicled by his sponsors, said "it's hard to accept" that he won't win because he's a "competitor by nature."
"I've come to terms with it," he said. "It's something I understand, it's the reality. I'm not a triathlete but I'm doing my best to become one.
"And hopefully come Kona, I'll become one. I may not be one of the best in the world, but I know that I'll be the best that I can possibly be."

As I stuffed another receipt in my book to keep my page the other day, I realized I needed to make some bookmarks for myself. I toyed with the idea of printing out some free ones online, but decided I wanted to make some scrappy ones with pictures that will make me smile every time I use it.
These were so easy to make and used up some the scraps in my heaping paper pile.
The first one uses some paper I received in an April Swag Bag I purchased from Paper Issues. I printed little pictures, trimmed and added embellishments. The strawberry and pineapple are one bookmark. I decided to decorate both sides of this one.
The second one is only decorated on one side, but uses leftover Crate Paper Bloom scraps from the planner dashboards I made a month or so ago.
The other side is another Bloom paper, but is not decorated. I cut little scalloped edges using a We R Memory Keepers tool I purchased from Tuesday Morning a few weeks ago. I talk about it in detail in my most recent YouTube video. I adhered those to each side before I attached the other side of the paper.
Next I added my picture and a few puffy stickers and embellishments from the same collection. Then I added a circle to the top and glued a pretty bow I bought in a package from Michaels.
They are both so different, but both so functional. Use some of those scraps up and make some bookmarks!

I'm pretty positive you will LOVE these meatballs!!! They make the perfect weeknight meal, or part of an elaborate Italian feast, or more simply the perfect protein hit for a quick lunch or lunchbox!
I made a bit batch of these for my friend when she had her baby earlier this year! They went down a real treat and her husband wanted the recipe…SO you're all super lucky, because otherwise I might not have shared this favourite recipe of mine!
The walnuts just add such a lovely texture to the meatball and compliment beef in flavour so well! You could substitute other nuts with what is in your pantry though!
I do use Panko breadcrumbs sometimes for rolling….I know – Japanese & Italian! Say again?!! Yes, just this once, I'm mixing up the cuisines! These breadcrumbs are a real treat in my home! But they really do make them so yummy and crunchy on the outside! I've used ordinary breadcrumbs, gluten free breadcrumbs, or some crushed nuts (for Paleo) and they all work fine too! If using Panko crumbs, you may need to gently press the crumbs into the meatballs to help them stick sufficiently.
When cooking the meatballs, be really gentle when turning them over in the pan. Just gently turn them, as they may have the potential to crumble, depending on how wet your mix is. If you have cooked off the onions and veggies sufficiently, they shouldn't fall apart though, but just be mindful of it!
You can absolutely leave the feta cheese out of them if you are dairy free or Paleo. They are still delightfully delicious without!
The sauce here, is a really quick pasta sauce. Sometime I'll share with you my yummy-licious Roast Tomato, Garlic & Thyme Pasta Sauce! But this one is perfect for meals on the table fast! Just use whatever herbs are in your garden or what you have in the fridge! When I cook I don't get too hung up on being exact with these things. If a recipe says 1/2 and onion, I'd chuck the whole one in! If you think some rosemary or oregano would be nice then stick it in! I've used both before and they are yum! Just whatever flavour hits you in the moment will work perfectly!

- 1 Clove Garlic, peeled
- 4 Sprigs Italian Parsley, chopped finely
- 2 Zucchini, cut into 3-4cm pieces

- 1 Brown Onion, halved
- 2 Cloves Garlic, peeled
- 2 Sprigs Fresh Basil
- 4 Sprigs Fresh Italian Parsley
- 2 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
- 50g Olive Oil
- 800g Organic Tinned Diced Tomatoes
- 1 tsp Honey
- 1 tsp Celtic Salt
- 1/2 Lemon, zested
- Place the onion, garlic, parsley and olive oil into Thermomix mixing bowl and chop 5-7 Sec/Speed 5.
- Heat a non-stick fry-pan over medium heat. Place 1/2 the olive oil in the pan to heat a little.(Being careful not to overheat it.)
- Scrape the onion mix into the pan and sauté until it starts to go golden brown and the moisture from the onions has cooked off.
- Place into a large mixing bowl and set aside. Leave the pan on the heat and add the remaining oil to heat.
- Place the zucchini and carrot into the mixing bowl and chop 10-15 Sec/Speed 4.
- Scrape into the pan and sauté until all the moisture has cooked off from the veggies. Add to the large mixing bowl with the onion mixture.
- Place the walnuts into the mixing bowl and chop 10 Sec/Speed 4, or until roughly chopped and add to the large mixing bowl.
- Add all the remaining ingredients and mix well to combine.
- Roll the mixture into tablespoon sized balls before rolling in the breadcrumbs. You may need to gently press the panko crumbs into the meatballs so they stick sufficiently.
- Heat a large non-stick frypan over medium heat with the ghee or oil, and cook in batches, turning frequently, for about 4 minutes, or until golden brown all over. Please take when turning the meatballs, they need to be handled with care.
- Remove from the heat and serve with tomato pasta sauce, fresh zucchini or parsnip pasta or traditional spaghetti.
- Place onion, garlic, herbs and olive oil into the mixing bowl and chop 5 Sec/Speed 5. Scrape down the sides of mixing bowl and sauté 7 Mins/120°/Speed 1.
- Add the tomatoes, honey, salt and lemon zest and cook 20 Mins/100°/Speed 2.
- Serve hot over the meatballs.

Our company's story begins in 1879, when William Nelson LePage invented an industrial glue that was strong, ready-to-use and had a long shelf life. Shortly after, LePage developed a consumer version and expanded his line into other products, including mucilage, an adhesive that's still widely used today.
Through most of the 20th century, basic stationery tape drove our company, but the total portfolio of LePage's offerings has expanded, and now consists of a broad range of products, including packaging tapes, a complete assortment of mailing and shipping supplies (bubble mailers, bubble cushion, corrugated boxes), hardware tapes, glues and sticky notes.
In 2005, LePage's® acquired Gould Inc. This acquisition added depth to LePage's total capabilities, increased our distribution network, and introduced a mailing and shipping category to the Seal-It® line.
Today, LePage's® is recognized as one of the fastest growing major manufacturers in the tape, ship, mail and move categories, offering a total assortment of supplies capable of fully servicing its partnering retailers.

Oh my goodness...summer is in full swing around here! The really scary thing is that this week is a slow week for us. No softball gam.es, bible school, and I'm not really even working besides being on call--and it still feels crazy.
My addiction of PW is still going strong and because it's not enough for me, I have added some other recipes I've been experimenting with...
ENTER: The Green Monster
What I love about these smoothies is the incredible nutrition you get. Although I have been dragging my feet to try them. Something about the almond milk was worrying me. But to my surprise my kiddos and I loved them!!! I have yet to try one out on Steve, but I know he'll like them too. An awesome breakfast and supplement to a meal, it gives you all the benefits of raw spinach, bananas, and fresh fruit--plus the protein and calcium of your mik of choice, and fiber from the flax seed. Yes, the Green Monster movement has hit our household and I am very excited.
Although the smoothie could easily be a meal for some, that would not fly at our house. PW had a yummy looking recipe for fried mozzarella sticks. How did she know that my kids could live off of those???
Very simple to prepare for frying, but the frying is kind of a trick. Some of them turned out really good, and others melted too quickly and spread out all over the pan. That was irritating. But they tasted good and it was fun to make them from scratch! I think I did not flash freeze them long enough and if I had, they wouldn't have melted so quickly. But we were hungry and I needed to get them done!!
The recipe uses Panko bread crumbs which worked great---added a bit of a crunch to them. Due to the significant egg wash dredging required, I did not personally try these. But the kids loved them. Fried cheese? I mean, really...how could you go wrong? Thank goodness for the Green Monster to even out the healthiness of this meal today...

KINGMAN – UniSource Energy Services is warning customers to beware of suspicious calls, text messages and letters from scammers using high-pressure tactics to rip them off.
The utility provider for much of Mohave County is among more than 100 gas, electric and water utilities across North America participating in a campaign to help customers recognize ongoing scams.
This year, about 100 gas and electric customers in Arizona have reported being targeted by phone scammers. In a few cases, customers were tricked into sending their money to scammers who use tactics that UES would never employ.
Here's how the scam frequently works:
Callers who claim to be UES employees attempt to steal customers' money by threatening to disconnect service for unpaid bills or damaged electric meters.
Scammers instruct customers to make payment over the phone with a prepaid money card within a short amount of time – often an hour or less – to avoid shutoff.
The callers may use an angry or urgent tone of voice to pressure customers into making a payment. In some cases, callers instruct customers to bring a money order or cashier's check to a local pharmacy.
Some scammers will contact customers via text message, registered letter or in person. They sometimes use software that disguises phone calls or text messages to appear as if they're coming from UES.
Here are several steps customers can take to protect themselves:
Hang up. Customers who suspect they are targets of a phone scam should simply hang up. Similarly, they can delete suspicious emails or shut the door on suspicious visitors. Customers concerned for their physical safety should call 911. UES only contacts customers by phone with automated bill payment reminders as a courtesy, and never demands immediate payment.
Don't follow scammers' instructions to buy prepaid cards. UES never urges customers to purchase prepaid money cards to pay a monthly bill. A complete list of legitimate payment methods, including payment online and through UES' mobile app, is available at uesaz.com.
Contact UES, not the scammers. Customers with questions about their bill or concerns about these issues can call UES' Customer Care team at 1-877-837-4968 – the number listed on their monthly bill and uesaz.com. Don't call other phone numbers provided by scammers.

My name is Joel and you talked to my Year 12 class recently. As a P-plater I was very surprised that there were a number of things that could give me a positive alcohol reading, even if I hadn't been drinking. Can you explain why some mouthwashes will do this so I can tell my friends who weren't at your talk? Also, I have a number of friends who believe that drinking a vanilla 'Up & Go' can cause the same problem - is that true?
Thanks Joel - as a P-plater you really do need to be extremely careful when it comes to alcohol. As I'm sure you know, all learner, P1/P2 provisional, probationary or restricted drivers must have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.00.
Unfortunately, when a P-plater is asked by a police officer to take a breathalyzer as part of a random breath test (RBT) there are a number of things that could cause you to get a positive reading (i.e., over 0.00) in the preliminary test even if you haven't drunk alcohol. Certainly mouthwash seems to be the worst culprit here as some brands can contain quite high levels of alcohol. Nowadays you can buy 'alcohol-free' mouthwash and I certainly recommend all P-platers use this whenever they can. The problem is that most people who use mouthwash do so just before they go out and if you get pulled over by the police in the minutes after leaving your home and breathalyzed there is a chance that you could get a positive reading due to 'debris' of alcohol in your mouth. You are certainly not intoxicated and that is why you can't be charged based on the preliminary test - it is the evidentiary test that counts. This test, conducted after you have failed the first, is carried out elsewhere - either in a 'booze bus' or a police station - and is more specialised and far more accurate. It is also done some time later - usually about 15 mins after - and by that time any debris should have moved and won't be picked up.
It's important to note that full licence holders are far less likely to be affected in this way. Why? They don't have to be at 0.00! If a small amount of alcohol is detected (possibly caused by debris in the mouth) they do not fail that first test.
Other things can cause a similar problem with the preliminary test for P-platers - e.g., foods containing alcohol, whether it be a cake like tiramasu, a chocolate liqueur or even a dessert like a sherry trifle. Get a small amount of the sherry-soaked sponge stuck between your teeth and it is possible to fail that preliminary test! There is a way of avoiding this problem - all P-platers should carry a bottle of water in their car and before they set off take a swig of water and rinse your mouth out, removing any possible alcohol debris - so simple, yet so effective!
Now about the 'Up & Go'! I can't believe how many young people have heard about this - it makes little sense and it has taken me quite a while to work out where this actually came from… from what I can gather (and I can't guarantee that this is absolutely true) it all seems to have come from a Channel 7 News item that ran in December 2010. Apparently a man who had a breathalyser interlock on his car drank a vanilla 'Up & Go' and got a positive reading for alcohol and was subsequently unable to drive. He went to the media with the story and the story has rolled on ever since… Another story got extensive media coverage in Australia a number of years before about a 'Bubble 'O' Bill' ice cream that caused a similar problem for a driver with the same device on his car. This man appeared in court and wanted his lock removed because of the false reading caused by the ice cream. The magistrate found his claim difficult to believe and got him to purchase and eat the product in court. A breath test was then carried out and he blew a reading of 0.018!
It is important to look at these two cases and note that they both involve interlock devices on cars and it is likely that both men most probably consumed the product and then blew into the device straight away. That is not how an RBT is conducted. So why then would these products cause the problem? Some people believe it could be due to the presence of vanilla essence that can contain high alcohol levels but this is certainly not the norm and shouldn't be a concern for young drivers.
Although no-one usually tells P-platers that this can happen, there are some foods and liquids that can cause an elevated reading in the minutes after they are consumed, but that is why there is a break between the preliminary and evidentiary tests. As I've said, the best way for a P-plater to avoid an embarrassing moment is to always to rinse out their mouth before getting behind the wheel of a car - do this and that'll most likely remove any debris that may be there and prevent an unpleasant and unnecessary visit to the 'booze bus' or the local police station.

Bedugul is very pleasant to visit, whether you come alone or with family. The weather is always cool and cloudy for almost all the time. In Bedugul you can visit many sites such as Lake Batur, Bedugul Botanical Garden, Strawberry Gardens, vegetable fields, and many more. Apart from that, outdoor activities are also enjoyable including mountain climbing, camping, hiking, cycling, fishing, or just chilling out in the local restaurants.
Bedugul is a mountain lake resort area in Bali, Indonesia, located in the centre-north region of the island near Lake Bratan on the road between Denpasar and Singaraja. Situated on 48 kilometers of north Denpasar, Bedugul Other nearby lakes are Lake Buyan, and Lake Tamblingan. When you visit Bedugul, the major sites you will see are the Pura Ulun Danu Bratan water temple and the Bedugul Botanical Gardens. The Botanical Garden was opened in 1959 under the name Eka Karya. With a total area of 157.5 hectares, about 389 acres, This Botanical Garden is the largest in Indonesia.
On July 15 1959, The Bedugul Botanical Garden was established under the sponsorship of Indonesia's first president, Sukarno. It is located on 157.5 hectares land ranging 1,250 meters to 1,450 meters above sea level with 2,000 species of plants and 20,000 plant specimens ranging from orchids, roses and medicinal plants to palms and Cyatheas – a very wonderful garden to visit and explore. Moreover, it has also a stunning view of Buyan Lake. This botanical garden has won the Cipta Pesona Award 2011from the Culture and Tourism Ministry in recognition of natural tourist attractions, cultural tourist attractions and artificial tourist attractions.
When it comes to Bedugul, words will not get enough before talking about the exploration of Bedugul that was started in 1974, as a part of a New Zealand bilateral aid project. Exploration was continued by Pertamina from 1978 until 1987. In 1994 Bali Energy, a joint venture between California Energy and a local company, signed a joint operation contract with Pertamina to develop a 4×55 MW geothermal power plant. In 2008, the estimated power production capacity of 175 MW corresponded to about half of the whole island's electricity needs. The project was put on hold, after being opposed by local residents, who feared that it could damage a sacred area and affect water supplies from the neighborhood lakes.
One of the most popular tourist attractions in Bali is Beratan Lake at Bedugul. Beratan Lake is a shallow lake with the high caldera about 1231m above sea level. Located at Bedugul, the famous tourist destinations in Bali, this lake has wide 3,8 km2 and also its deepness is up to 22 meters. The water volume in this lake is about 0,049 km3, so Beratan Lake is the closed lake. Tourists can access the Beratan Lake through the dock which has been provided around Ulun Danau Beratan Temples. In this place, visitors are allowed to do various activities like having sightseeing, looking around in dock or do the other outdoor activities.
Other water recreation activities can also be conducted here, including: riding the boat motorizes to circle the lake, parasailing, canoeing, banana boating, and water skiing. Fishing can also be conducted in this place. Beratann Lake that is situated in the plateau area with cool atmosphere surrounding offers magnificent view for those who see. It is an ideal place for relaxation while enjoy the beautiful panorama of lake. The accommodations are also available, especially for those who wish for overnight stay, resting and enjoy the beautiful panoramic of lake with the Ulun Danu Temple the object.
The small scale of agriculture activities are also conducted around this lake and can be recognized at the same time you surround it. If you surround it, chance is that you can take photographs of the beautiful background view or make the picture sketch face in painting mini studio at the lakeside with a short time as a souvenir.
Apart from Beratan Lake, once you visit Bedugul, you should pay attention to other attractive places in Bedugul, Tabanan bali nearby, like Bedugul Botanical Garden or Kebun Raya Eka Karya.

Various fruit type, vegetables and also fruits can be bought here. You will only need several minutes to get to this traditional market from Ulun Danu Temple. Buyan Lake and Tamblingan Lake are the next interesting places near the Beratan Lake. This only takes 3 minutes drive by car from Beratan Lake.

As of August 1st I am off on Sabbatical. It is a time of rest, renewal and study. So I thought I would resurrect this site as a way of sharing my sabbatical adventure with others.
For the study component I am taking this as a chance to read more about Christian Spirituality. At first my plan was to write an introduction to Christian Spirituality, but as I am working on this what I am discovering is that I am all seeking to understand the inner dynamics of Christian faith. I have so often met people who seem to have discovered this profound, love filled power of the Gospel. How does this happen? What are the process that bring us there? Can it be shared?
The other part of my study is in the area of leadership. Specifically I am working with CAUSE Canada to help them develop a strategic plan. At the same time I am a part of our synods Missional Network project.
The other major part of my sabbatical is to spend time with my family and rest.
My plan is to share some of my insights here, along with clips of my writing. Since Sabbaticals are about fun and rest. I will share some of that as well.

At this year's SRHC Meeting, I was nominated by the Kugelman Honors Program to take place in the Student Vice President race for the entire council. The Student VP position was the highest position a student can hold, but I had not known that until the time of election itself.
The first thing I had to do was to make flyers and CV's for the meeting. At each session that I went to, I would pass out the flyers to those who attended. When it came time for the General Business Meeting, that's when the true campaigning began. All the candidates were posted in front of the entrance, passing out flyers and CV's like crazy. The rush of people made it hard for each candidate to associate with each person. Then the meeting began, and the business was conducted. Towards the end of the meeting, the voting began. I had no idea that a speech was expected of me, but I managed to pull together a short message. At the end of it all, I had lost the Student VP election to Jessica Doscher of Winthrop University. With a 1/3rd of the voting population from the Carolinas, Jessica's experience as a Student Representative with SRHC the year before, and with myself being a freshman, all the cards were stacked against me from the start. Nevertheless, she informed me the next day that her margin of victory was extremely slim.
A couple questions have been asked to me since I have come back from Greenville:
Are you disappointed that you did not win the election?
Not one bit. Jessica Doscher was a great candidate for the position and she will definitely have the support from our own council as well as the rest of the SRHC.
Are you going to run for positions in the future?
I am definitely considering it. Even though it is a lot of work to run, I will be looking into positions to run for in the future. However, that is not priority number one for me right now.
All in all, I was an honor to run for this position and to be at SRHC. More importantly, I want to thank the Kugelman Honors Program for this amazing opportunity! The continuous efforts of the students and staff of our program continue to provide opportunities like these for its members.

Eating in the outdoors
Our friendly cafes and restaurants have fantastic meals, light bites and snacks if you're peckish, but if you just want to get away from it all and enjoy your lunch outdoors then pick up a sandwich or Tracker pack or bring your own hamper filled with goodies and check out our picnic spots.
A family favourite
There are picnic tables on the parkland not far from the gatehouse, by the formal garden wall, which are perfect for eating your packed lunch at. There's plenty of space nearby for playing games and running around if you finish eating at different times. You'll be in easy reach of the garden and house when you're ready to explore further and the courtyard toilets are close by too.
Hampers too heavy to carry?
If you don't want to walk far then there's a picnic area near the car park - just down from the Park Cafe as you walk towards the reception building. The adventure playground is nearby, so this is a great spot if you're eating with children with small appetites but a hunger for fun.
Space for running around
If you don't need a table but do want to have fun playing games then make your way further onto the parkland, where there's plenty of open space to throw a ball, make goal posts with jumpers, spread out your picnic rug and while away the afternoon.
Protect our parkland
We hope you enjoy your picnic here but ask please help us keep Lanhydrock lovely by taking away any rubbish. Thank you.

Not sure how new this is to people, it is to me. A new trailer for The Last Days On Mars has been posted. Now this is my first introduction to the film too. And it looks pretty cool. I'm a sci-fi and horror movie junkie. So combine the two and you have a winner. This doesn't always mean it is a successful winner at the box office, but something I will most likely be entertained by. The Last Days On Mars will be arriving on Video On Demand (VOD) first, on October 31st, then it will be released in select theaters in December. This doesn't necessarily mean it will be a bad movie, especially since the cast has some solid acting chops to it, with the likes of Liev Schreiber and Elias Koteas among them.
The official synopsis for the film is as follows:
On the last day of the first manned mission to Mars, a crew member of Tantalus Base believes he has made an astounding discovery – fossilized evidence of bacterial life. Unwilling to let the relief crew claim all the glory, he disobeys orders to pack up and goes out on an unauthorized expedition to collect further samples. But a routine excavation turns to disaster when the porous ground collapses, and he falls into a deep crevice and near certain death. His devastated colleagues attempt to recover his body. However, when another vanishes they start to suspect that the life-form they have discovered is not yet dead. As the group begins to fall apart it seems their only hope is the imminent arrival of the relief ship Aurora.
Sounds interesting enough to me that I'll be checking it out. And considering it arrives on Halloween night, it will make a great movie to view. The Last Days On Mars is directed by Ruairi Robinson, stars Liev Schreiber, Romola Garai, Elias Koteas, Olivia Williams, Johnny Harris, Goran Kostic, Tom Cullen, Yusra Warsama and is set to arrive on VOD on October 31, 2013, then in select theaters on December 6th.

Matthew Heimbach is joined by Tony Hovater for a new week of The Daily Traditionalist, starting off by explaining his absence for the last few months due to a new arrival in the Heimbach family before moving into discussing the country and western massacre in Houston. The killer had no wife or kids, retired and then imported an Asian girlfriend before going crazy with an automatic weapon for what appears to be no reason. ISIS have claimed responsibility and Israeli news are saying he was a Moslem convert, but this is being played down in order to try and blame America's gun rights for the atrocity.
Like Sandy Hook it seems like this was almost set up to try and get guns banned, but it didn't work then and it is unlikely it will work now either.
Yesterday there was a Moslem stab attack in France and a Moslem jihadi-ram attack in Canada. Both of these seem to have been forgotten about already and since this killer in Texas is not a White Nationalist, the chances are that this will be forgotten as well. We seem to be getting used to these awful things happening and are just accepting them, with the sole exception of when the killer is a patriot. We are still being reminded of Anders Breivik in every article about the Stormfront conference as whatever happens, they have to push the anti-White narrative.
On the flip side of the violence against Whites being ignored, we have the glorification of the Antifa groups organising to physically attack anyone they disagree with. This is portrayed by the fake-news media as justifiable defence by the Left, as our very words themselves are now being portrayed as acts of violence against minorities who have only the brave anarchists punching nazis and throwing faeces to defend them.
Matt and Tony break it all down and identify the different ways our enemy tries to hide the White victims before finishing the podcast with some discussion on the Catalonia referendum.

Did you know that little drops of honey could work wonders for our skin? Honey, a natural antioxidant with hydrating properties, has the ability to absorb and retain moisture that keeps our skin well hydrated, fresh and supple. It rejuvenates, nourishes and soothes our skin.
This October 2013, The Body Shop is pleased to launch their new luxurious Bath & Body Collection – Honeymania™ – that is made with Community Fair Trade wild honey from Ethiopia. This rich, wild-harvested floral honey, also known as liquid gold to some, is good for our skin and the environment too.
The Body Shop HoneyMania Bath & Body Collection comprises of Body Butter, Body Scrub, Bath Melt, Lip Balm, Soap, Eau De Toilette and Shower Gel.
The Body Shop believes their Community Fair Trade honey is something extra special as it was sourced from the remote Sheka rainforest in the Ethiopian Highlands, a biodiversity hotspot that is protected by UNESCO.
- Their Sheka honey has a very distinctive taste and smell because of the fragrant rainforest flowers that the bees collect the nectar from. Its light floral aroma makes it distinct from any other honey.
- The African honey bees that produce their honey for free to roam the rainforest. Every day, the bees communicate through 'dancing' to direct each other to the tastiest flowers.
- The honey selected for use in their products is of the highest quality – in fact it's good enough to eat! It's sold by high-end brands as table honey. Only the ripest, richest combs are selected for The Body Shop@.
The bees that product their Community Fair Trade Honey are wild; they choose to colonise the hive and then move onto a new home after harvesting. To ensure of first-class honey for use in their products, The Body Shop works with the highly skilled Beza Mar beekeepers who practise 'barefoot beekeeping' or 'bee whispering' that works in harmony with the bees' natural cycles. To gather enough honey to make one of every product in their Honeymania™ collection, it takes almost 100 bees traveling over 2,100km so they can harvest the nectar from nearly 50,000 flowers.
HoneyMania™ Body Butter, the hero product, is rich in texture that delivers 24 hours of hydration. It glides and melts straight into the skin upon application. It contains moisturizing Community Fair Trade shea from Ghana, cocoa butter from Ghana, sesame oil from Nicaragua, Brazil nut oil from Peru and beeswax from Cameroon. It is retailing at S$30.90 for 200ml.
HoneyMania™ Body Scrub, retailing at S$30.90 for 200ml, exfoliates the dead skin cells on the surface (containing exfoliating salt grains) leaving our skin feeling velvety soft and super-smooth. It contains moisturizing Community Fair Trade shea from Ghana, and beeswax from Cameroon.
Sink into a honeypot of bath bubbles and enjoy an indulgent honey experience with luxurious HoneyMania™ Bath Melt. Priced at S$26.90 for 300ml, it contains moisturizing organically harvested Community Fair Trade honey from Ethiopia.
Moisturize your delicate lip with this HoneyMania™ Lip Balm that instantly melts upon application. Retailing at S$10.90 for 10ml, it contains Community Fair Trade beeswax from Cameroon.
Spritz the HoneyMania™ Eau de Toilette, onto pulse points for a burst of concentrated honey scent. Retailing at S$22.90, it contains Community Fair Trade alcohol from Ecuador.
Drizzle on and lather up a little luxury with this HoneyMania™ Shower Gel that leaves our body cleansed and subtly scented. It is soap-free and it doesn't dry out our skin. Retailing at S$30.90, it contains moisturizing organically harvested Community Fair Trade honey from Ethiopia.
This scented HoneyMania™ Soap, priced at only S$6.90 for 100g, gently cleanses to leave skin feeling refreshed. It contains moisturizing organically harvested Community Fair Trade honey from Ethiopia. You will love the cute honeycomb design embellished with an adorable bee.
Do check out the bundle HoneyMania™ sets, great for Christmas gifts, if you are heading to the store. I'm pleased to receive the full range of the HoneyMania™, many thanks to The Body Shop Singapore.

Flight Lessons: more pattern work
Yesterday I did some more taking off, flying the pattern and landing. We couldn't do touch-and-goes because they're not allowed on the weekend. My takeoffs feel really good and my landings are a lot better. I actually had a few that I was pretty happy with.

Those casual hours lost to record,
the idled in music, art, or words,
that even footnotes won't recall
when reminiscing what's occurred;
Yes, those hours, days at times,
indulging in another's glimpses
of a world beyond this banal realm
adapted for our entertainment;
The other hours, what of them?
Or has the easy satisfaction
made complacent while rapt
within another soul's creation?
In all, the years will steady shrink,
the tally from each choice divided —
how fall the hours on each side
before our final one's decided?
"Write like you're running out of time…" Well, not quite there yet. But I suppose I have the rest of my life to get better. Maybe finish stories 6 and 7 for starters…or you know, your dissertation…

Roads: Jason Brown
Only items listed in " " will be brought up in the board meeting.
Since Last Report:
"Wolf Laurel has received 7.78 inches of rain including two severe weather events resulting in minor flooding, moderate road damage, moderate drainage damage, and minor tree damage."
"Re-graded, crowned, and compacted all gravel roads."
"Swept and removed all storm debris and aggregate from all paved roads."
"Installed shoulder stone along pavement edges on all paved roads with the exception of Lower El Minor and Hampton Gap due to drainage issues."
Wolf Laurel Road used 8 loads of ABCM, McKinney Gap used 3 loads of ABCM, and Big Bald used 2 loads of ABCM. 13 loads total.
"The Wolf Laurel Road culvert replacement project has been completed. All culverts that can be replaced in house have been replaced and all crossings have been paved" 11 in total.
"WLRM has installed 2 new culverts on Glenn Aire; and 1 on McKinney Gap."
"WLRM has re-graded the ditches on Oakridge Ln."

"The Ford L-9000 dump truck has had some drive train issues that have been repaired and is now at the CAT service center for fuel pump issues." These fuel pump repairs may be significant and may surpass my spending limit and need board approval. The RM committee has been informed of the issue and will keep the board updated.

Security: Sandy Gwozdo
The Security Committee and the Security Staff are pleased to announce the addition of Melanie McGalliard to our staff. She will be working Security Patrol and is completing her training with Ken Porche. Melanie has 16 years' experience with the Army Military Police where she attained the rank of sergeant. She has extensive training in security, security management and implementation. She has vast experience in training subordinates and international soldiers. She has led military police teams in support of battlefield, convoy, and prison operations. She has 3 years' experience as a EO Representative with the U.S. Army 105th MP, BN, working closely with senior officers to ensure a safe work environment.
She is happy to be close to home and working in the public safety field. She is familiarizing herself with the roads and property owners of our community. She will soon be a familiar face to all. Wave her down and say hello.
Melanie's addition rounds out our Patrol schedule and allows a two-man coverage when required.
- Porche responded to a home on Unakite when the Gate was alerted that a propane tank slid down a bank. He assessed the situation, called 911 and stood by for the arrival of Ebbs Chapel Fire Dept. The gas was turned off. The property owner was notified.
- Porche responded to Upper Haw for a report of tree in power lines. Found that the lines were phone not electric and called Frontier.
- The DOS was called to check a possible fire. It was discovered two lights had been left on all night. From above the lights, they appeared strange due to the wind blowing branches across the lights.
- Our summer residents are returning, the WLCC is open and traffic is picking up. Foliage is curtailing line of sight on our roads. Slow done and drive safely. Let's have a safe, fun season.
We are fortunate to have Suehonor Connor in the office. She is highly competent and has assumed the duties assisting Bob Super with the ARB and all emails and website events. She coordinates with senior staff. The office has never run so smoothly. The DOS is now free to concentrate on security issues and assist in office as needed.
Upon motion made by Romero and seconded by McCaghren, the staff reports were accepted.
Committee Reports
Communications & Community Relations: John Ames
- Long Range Planning Committee Report – an email announcing that the LRP Report had been presented to the Board and approved by the Board in the April Board meeting and posted on the WLRMS website was distributed to all property owners who have provided their emails to the WLRMS office. The LRP Report was also posted on the website.
Insurance / Finance Committee: Willie Romero
No Report
Legal: Sharon Foster
Trademark Issues
These issues will require some conversation at the next work session. I will circulate a memo prior to that time.
Policies With Respect to Standing Committees
Proposed protocol regarding standing committees will be submitted for review and discussion at next work session.
Town Hall Proposal
I have circulated a proposal for summer 2017 Town Hall meetings. I urge the Board to adopt this proposal or some alternative, but to do so now as the summer is upon us. As this is not a policy issue, no formal Board vote is required and the decision may be made by email consensus.
Covenant Violations
The board has decided to address the long standing covenant violations that previous boards did not address. Security will provide a list of violations and a letter will be sent to the homeowners asking for their voluntary cooperation.
Collections: Brent McCaghren
No Report
Road Maintenance & Equipment: Charlie Potts
No Report
Security: Becky McKnight
At the April RMS Board meeting a property owner alleged that the RMS Director of Security violated the Covenants by giving permission to a property owner to operate a commercial business from their residence. This was a serious charge that required investigation. It was determined that two other RMS staff members were present when this issue was raised by the property owner. Each was interviewed separately, and both verify that the Director of Security clearly stated that commercial operations are not permitted on residential property. The three members of the Security Committee and the President of the Board met to review and reach a determination on this matter. All present at the meeting agreed that the allegation made at the April meeting has no merit. Accordingly, no further investigation is deemed necessary.
Property and Facilities: Larry Smith & Dick Moeller
Inspection of the RMS Office Building will take place toward the end of May.
Meeting between the RMS and the POA concerning the waste water treatment plant will be held sometime in June.

Long Range Planning: John Beneke
The plan is to have all HOA Presidents participate in a Town Hall Meeting, a date to be determined in June.
POA Liaison: John Beneke
No Report
Old Business:
New Business:
Dates need to be set for the Town Hall meetings. Suggested dates for the four meetings this summer are June 10, July 22, August 12, and September 9. These dates are Saturdays following the WLPOA meetings. Suggested topics are, but not limited to, Long Range Planning Committee Report, Vehicles Permitted on WL Roads, Meet the Candidates and Covenants.
Beneke will make his recommendations for the Nominating Committee for the Board of Directors election at the next board meeting.
Audience Comments:
Audience member #1- Mountainside Townhome Association Board Member is concerned about the For Sale sign at the entrance of the Mountainside Townhomes and Mountainside Cottages. The Board Member wanted to know if the property in question is subject to the WL Covenants. The Mountainside Townhomes Board Member will get all relevant information to Foster to review.
Audience member #2 – Wanted clarification of whether the annual road assessment and the annual security assessment were the only assessments that could be billed to homeowners. Board members stated that the board could request a special assessment, but the WL property owners would vote on whether to support it or not. Special assessments would be a one-time authorization and would not be continuing or authorized beyond what was voted on by the community (Payment of the special assessments over a certain period of time could be requested).
Audience member #3 – Concerned about the amount of trees that were cut down on Glen Aire. Brown said it was part of the US Forest Service Day -Lighting Project. This project is to get day light onto the road to help with mud, preventing leaves from falling in the drainage, making the roads easier to maintain and creating a fire break. Brown took down only the trees that were hanging over the road and those that were damaged by the water line installation. Brown stated it is for the safety and maintenance of the mountain.
Audience member #4 – Wanted to know if there was a possibility of having the board meetings on Saturday. Beneke pointed out that accommodating everybody was not possible, but that the meetings are on the same day every month (3rd Friday).
Motion for adjournment was made by Romero. McCaghren seconded.
The meeting was adjourned.
Next RMS HOA Board meeting is scheduled June 16, 2017, at 10:00 A.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Willie Romero
Secretary /Treasurer

PALMER -- A big 1958 BMW R60 motorcycle dominates the waiting room of the Erik Christensen's State Farm Insurance office in downtown Palmer. A bookshelf has been fashioned from a Honda frame. Along the walls and on desks you'll spot pictures of bikes, logos and memorabilia.
"It's a hobby that's gotten out of control," he said.
Out of control, maybe, but Christensen's passion is turning out some beautiful pieces of machinery. It's also turning heads in the international motorcycling community.
Christensen repurposes the components of older motorcycles to create one-of-a-kind road rockets that give him the ride he wants and look like sculptural art — a subcategory of bikedom called "cafe racers."
"The cafe racers are like the United Kingdom's version of our rat rods of the 1950s," he said. "The bikers didn't have much money after the war. They found bits and pieces of stuff and put them together."
As a result, there was no defined "look" to the cafe racer design, though at some point looks started to count, earning the admiration of fellow racers. The handlebars tended to drop down and sweep low on the tanks -- lower than the headlights. But in general, the genre was defined by what Christensen characterized as "random, wild fabrication."
Performance counted, too. No one's sure how the bikes got their name. Some say it came from racing between coffeehouses in English cities. Others say it had something to do with putting a coin in a cafe jukebox, making a run and getting back before the song was over.
The concept — long since imported to America — has seen a surge in popularity in recent years as a new generation of riders revels in the creativity involved in imagining your own unique motorcycle, then making it a reality with your own hands in your own shop.
Christensen's garage was packed with body and motor parts when he took a reporter on a tour last month. "I have 1 1/2 completed now and three in progress," he said.
His pride and joy is another BMW, a personalized green 1974 R90. It's been featured in full-color layouts in bike magazines BMW Motorrad and The Bike Shed.
A little excitement
Born in Ketchikan, Christensen said he's always had a sense of adventure, and was drawn to parachuting and airplanes. He was a flight instructor and has flown commuter jets. But as marriage and fatherhood approached, he decided he needed to find a safer job. His father, who had the State Farm agency in Ketchikan, told him the Palmer office was available and he moved to the Valley in 2008.
Perhaps it was inevitable. "I'm actually the third generation in my family to be a State Farm agent," he said. But while the business paid his bills, it didn't feed his soul.
"I need a little excitement in my life," he said, "a creative outlet to balance out the desk job."
He did his first bike in 13 weeks, with the help of a lot of friends and what he called "garage beer parties."
"I get a kick out of the networking stuff," he said, "the six-packs, finding parts and talking with other people who are as interested in this as I am. And the Internet really makes it possible. From my desk here in Palmer I can connect with people around the world."
The process of making a cafe racer is tedious. "To start, you have to find a good 'donor' bike -- and that's not easy in Alaska -- and tear 'em apart."
The pieces are carefully inspected and stored in boxes, jars and plastic bags. The frame is cleaned up and given new paint. Where upholstery and rubber parts can't be restored, substitutes must be found. And each of the hundreds of mechanical components is carefully inspected and cleaned.
"I replaced every nut and gasket in the R90," he said.
The learning curve was steep, but instructive. "I was doing stuff three or four times. I'd put something together and have to pull it apart again. Then we had to disassemble everything for painting."
Some of the work has to go outside the garage. Christensen goes to the Palmer Machinery Co. The 1930s-era plant is like a museum of Alaska industry, with drills and grinders and sanders that pre-date anyone who uses them nowadays, equipment salvaged from the Jonesville Mine and the original Eklutna Power Plant and war surplus material from military bases.
The gear may look dated, but it can do tasks that aren't commonly performed at modern shops. On the day that Christensen walked through last month, Monte Goodrich and Thornton DePriest were working on the engine block of a Ford Model A.
Bikes and dads
As he became engrossed in his hobby, Christensen scoured the Internet for information. He found a lot of sites dedicated to the eye candy of the machines, but "nothing that morphs cafe racers and Alaska," he said. He found that odd, since "Alaska is on every rider's bucket list."
So he started the Northern Cafe Racers Facebook page. As of last month it had 21,000 likes. It's a way to share information and photos with the small club of cafe racer fans in Alaska and the much bigger international fellowship. It's also a way to promote clothing with the Northern Cafe Racers logo.
"I sell a whole lot of T-shirts," he said.
Christensen's passion is also spinning off videos that celebrate not just the glamour and physicality of the racers but the process of building them, a process that has taken on a family dimension. It may not be what he expected, but it turns out that working on motorcycles — unlike double-checking insurance paperwork or flying a commercial jet — is something you can do with your kids.
There are a number of the photos on his sites and in magazines that show Christensen with his daughter Olivia and son Aksel, who twist screwdrivers or watch with wonder as their dad works on an engine. A new Web video titled "Don't Say, Be" will celebrate fatherhood as viewed through the prism of cafe racer construction.
"It isn't just about making a bike," he said. "It's about a legacy, time I share with my children. Long after I'm gone, they'll remember the motorcycle they built with their dad."
Another video, "Beards & Beamers," will feature 10 riders, including Christensen and members of the national motorcycle press, as they take BMWs from Willow to Valdez, by ferry across Prince William Sound and through the Whittier Tunnel. Sons of Winter Productions plans to film it in September.
Christensen's current project is another BMW, this one on the "theme" of "The Great Gatsby."
"Every bike has a different theme," he said. "I want this one to conjure up images of the 1920s -- lots of money and ostentation, an undercurrent of mobsters and ambition."
The "Gatsby" bike will feature whitewall tires, scaled-down BMW kidney-bean grilles, art deco lines and an oversize headlight taken from a 1933 Chrysler.
"I'm waiting for one item from a guy in California," Christensen said. "But when it's done it'll catch people off guard. It'll be a real show-stopper. It will look very old, but totally unique.
"It'll take me a year to get it done."

1. It is a measure of how emotional this election season has made many of us that when Kurt Andersen wrote about his (and the broader media's) fondness for Barack Obama (The Imperial City: About That Crush on Obama, May 12), he inspired a lovefest on nymag.com for Hillary Clinton (!), as well as a ritualized trashing of Obama specifically and the media generally. As one commenter remarked, Wow, this message board has been seriously bum-rushed by the anti-Obama folks. Yes, it had been. One reader referred to the junior senator from Illinois as an obscenity like Hannah Montanaflashy, insubstantial bubblegum meant for mass consumption. Reading this article reminded me of the disgust I felt when Claire McCaskill endorsed Obama because her teenage daughters thought he was niftyand that wasn't even the worst of it. Fortunately, most of the pro-Hillary/anti-Barack commenters were more temperate; some even thanked Andersen for coming clean. Well at least someone in the media will admit his bias, said one. Another put it this way: I'll give you some credit for bringing the matter to print, but from the perspective of a realistic everyday American, this primary season has been nothing more than another cheesy reality show. Some directed their anger squarely at the author: This article sums it up. No substanceno realismjust white liberal guilt about escaping all of the downsides of being in the boomer generation. And one reader tried a bit of faint praise: I thought this was a damn good article. It hit the nail on the head, and I congratulate the author for being up-front about his prejudices. It is absolutely true: if you want to be cool,' vote for Obama! The adoration for Clinton took all forms, including this declaration: Oh yeah, and Hillary doesn't have bad hair. She has great hair.
2. Emily Nussbaum's profile of Sex and the City star and ambivalent West Village local Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah Jessica Parker Would Like a Few Words With Carrie Bradshaw, May 12) was the source of much admiration on nymag.comGreat lady, great article, She is the epitome of grace and class. Amid the praise, there was a brief interruption from the woman who, as described by Nussbaum in the story, had interrupted her interview by thrusting a pair of jeans upon Parker: That English girl was me, Misty Twigg. I have worked alongside Chloe Lonsdale for the last three years relaunching the original British denim brand from the seventies, MiH Jeans (Made in Heaven). She was the loveliest person I have ever met! It is my birthday, what a lovely present!!
3. A devoted fan of Freemans, Taavo Somer's Lower East Side restaurant, wrote an aggrieved note in response to David Amsden's story about Somer (Coolhunted, May 12): I started going to Freemans a few years ago and quickly became addicted to the space and the whole point of view. I even got my hair cut a few times at the store and picked up some clothes. It was the perfect unhurried spot to meet friends. So imagine my surprise hearing that the key man involved with the whole thing has Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Mary-Kate, and Josh Hartnett hanging out at his new place. I thought Freemans represented a different, less meatpacking, point of view and that the Lipstick Jungle and Hedge-Fund Non-Creatives were merely tolerated when they showed up. But, after reading this article, it turns out that that's the target audience. How depressing.
4. In our roundup of polo shirts (Storefront: Polos, Hold the Logo, March 24), we referred to the Abercrombie & Fitch logo as a funny-looking eagle. It is, in fact, a funny-looking moose. Or, perhaps, an extremely funny-looking eagle.
