The Panthers won their final exhibition, 10-0, at Pittsburgh Thursday night and finished the exhibition season 2-2. Stars like Cam Newton, Luke Kuechly, Charles Johnson, Thomas Davis and Ryan Kalil didn't play at all for Carolina, but there were a few standout performances in this very low-profile game. This one at least gave the Panthers a chance to get that beatdown New England put on them the week before out of their systems. Here are 4 things I liked in a game I watched from home:
1) The defense. It was mostly reserves against reserves, and Steeler quarterback Ben Roethlisberger didn't play at all. But pitching a shutout is hard at any level, and the Panthers did so by playing good defense everywhere. The defensive line, in particular, was very good as Carolina racked up six sacks and allowed only 185 total yards.
2) Joe Webb and Fozzy Whittaker. The Panthers' third-team quarterback and fourth-team running back got loads of work because of injuries and planned sitdowns. Both solidified their spots on the final 53-man roster. Whittaker ran hard, gained 91 yards and scored the game's only TD. Webb made a gorgeous, 53-yard deep throw to Philly Brown to set that TD up and showed some elusiveness. If Webb had to play in a game this year, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world -- and Whittaker is definitely going to play at some point.
3) Dodging the big injury. The Panthers have had some nicks during the exhibitions, no doubt about that. It is impossible for that not to happen. But they never got the huge injury in four exhibitions. Derek Anderson's throwing hand got hurt Thursday, but it could have been worse (X-rays were negative, but he did have his hand wrapped up in the second half).
I think Cam Newton will play through his fractured ribs in the regular-season opener Sept.7. Safety Roman Harper got his first exhibition work Thursday after sitting out much of August with turf toe. Kuechly could have played Thursday if he needed to. So the Panthers will go into September healthier than a lot of teams will.
4. The fake games are over. The NFL's exhibition season isn't endless, it only seems that way. Finally, we can dismiss these games entirely. Carolina plays Pittsburgh for real Sept.21, and before that come games against Tampa Bay and Detroit. Time for some real football.

5 things I did not like in Panther loss to Patriots
You could name a lot more than five in this one, but here are a few (check out the comments below, too, as they seem almost evenly split between "The sky is falling" and the "It's only preseason" camps):
1) No pass rush. The Panthers led the NFL with 60 sacks last season and there has been some talk about whether they could break the NFL overall record (72). Not like this -- Tom Brady's uniform never got dirty, and no Patriot quarterback came close to getting sacked. This team is predicated on getting to the passer, first and foremost -- it is why GM Dave Gettleman has spent so many draft picks and so much money on the D-line. It has absolutely got to do better, starting Thursday at Pittsburgh.
2) Rushing game. One of Panther coach Ron Rivera's favorite stats is that in 15 of 16 games last season Carolina rushed for at least 100 yards. Not this time: Carolina ran for only 63. There were hardly any holes, and the running backs didn't do much, either. No run was for more than eight yards. "Double Trouble" was no trouble, with DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart combining for nine carries for 20 yards.
3) Cam's back. Newton suffered a hairline fracture in a rib, which will sideline him for the final exhibition vs. Pittsburgh and puts his Week 1 status at least in doubt. The last thing Newton needs is another nagging injury to join his problematic ankle, but now he's got one after getting kneed to the back while going down trying to avoid getting hurt (Newton must learn to slide). That he got sacked three times in this game (see above pic) and pressured a lot more wasn't helpful, either. Newton ends the exhibition season with no TD passes and five sacks. Here's more of my thoughts on his injury in the column that was published in Monday's newspaper.
4) Julian Edelman. He made every Panther defensive back look silly at one time or another, and a lot of their special-teamers, too. Edelman caught all eight passes thrown toward him for 99 yards and returned two punts for 51 more. And he's not close to the best receiver the Panthers will face this season. And the Panthers better hope middle linebacker Luke Kuechly stays healthy (he has a thumb injury that won't keep him from playing for now), because when he was out the Pats ran roughshod over Carolina and made second-year linebacker A.J. Klein look silly on a wheel route that turned into a 40-yard TD.
5) The offense in general. There were a lot of things going wrong here, which is why Carolina didn't score until the final two minutes when the score was 30-0 and third-stringer Joe Webb was in the game. Other than rookie Kelvin Benjamin, it's hard to point to a bright spot. But I worry most about the Panthers' offensive line, which looked half-baked in this one. Webb will get a lot of playing time Thursday vs. Pittsburgh, and it's now quite likely he's going to make the team since the Panthers can't go into the season with 2 QBs with Newton banged up like he is.

Better not ask Barner to block in Philadelphia
Supposedly very fast, Barner never broke enough tackles to show it. Undeniably undersized, Barner too often got overwhelmed in pass protection.
Simply put, the Panthers' sixth round pick in 2013 was about to get cut. Had to be. And so the Panthers shipped him off to Philadelphia Tuesday night, where he will be reunited with his old college coach at Oregon (Chip Kelly). All general manager Dave Gettleman got was a conditional seventh-round draft pick, which I'd assume means that Barner has to make the team for the Panthers to cash it.
But that's better than nothing. The Panthers have struggled finding another running back behind DeAngelo Williams, Mike Tolbert and the oft-injured Jonathan Stewart, but that guy may have emerged Sunday night in Fozzy Whittaker. Whittaker broke more tackles in one night than Barner has in two years. He's likely going to make this team, and Barner is going to get a fresh look in Philadelphia.
That's good for everyone. I just hope Kelly doesn't expect Barner to block much, or else Nick Foles is in trouble.

My theory on Johnny Manziel and the bird flip
My very brief theory on Johnny Manziel and why he shot the bird at the Washington sideline Monday night consists of two parts.
1) Manziel is extremely immature.
2) He was not getting enough attention.
Can you imagine having to coach Manziel -- or rely on him for anything -- at this stage of his life? It would be awful. Surely he will grow up one day, but the constant parade of Manziel-related negative headlines is so tiresome. The latest came Monday night, when Manziel flipped the Washington sideline off (he wasn't penalized but will likely be fined).
It wasn't that terrible of a thing to do, but it was so childish. Manziel wasn't having a good game and people were yelling at him. Wow -- that's all? Welcome to the NFL, buddy. Now that people know they can get to you, how do you think it's going to be for the next 10 games you enter?
As for the attention thing -- I think there is a part of Manziel that truly craves it. Why else does he show up in so many public places on his off time? I know we live in a digital age where everyone has a camera phone, but contrast how many pictures there are of Manziel doing something weird (at best) in his off time with how many there are of, say, Andrew Luck or RGIII or Cam Newton? So this was "Monday Night Football," and Manziel wasn't playing well, and this was a way he could dominate the postgame narrative. I'm sure he didn't think of it that way, but I also don't think he really minds what is happening today.
There's no way Cleveland can start Manziel, although Brian Hoyer is so bad undoubtedly the rookie is going to play at some point. I don't like his chances this year, though. Manziel is a child trying to lead a group of men, and that only works if the child is very wise. Manziel is far from that.

Rivera should have pulled Benjamin immediately
Panther rookie Kelvin Benjamin has done just about everything right so far in his very young career for the Carolina Panthers, but his obvious personal-foul penalty in the Kansas City game is worth discussing.
Benjamin flicked the ball at Chiefs cornerback Chris Owens after a reception far out of bounds in the second quarter Sunday night with about 10 seconds to go. Then he shoved and head-butted Owens, taking the Panthers out of field-goal range in the final seconds of the first half. Carolina won anyway, 28-16. (Here's my column on the game).
Benjamin said after the game he was "just being young. It was a mistake that I made. That's something I've got to learn from."
He's right about that. The last thing Benjamin needs is to develop an anger-management issue like the one Steve Smith had, especially early in his career. Sunday night should be a lesson for No.13 -- and an exhibition is the right time to learn it.
Said quarterback Cam Newton, who has been Benjamin's BFF basically from the day the No.1 draft pick showed up in Charlotte, of Benjamin's mistake: "He understands. He knows. When you have an opportunity to kick a field goal right before the half.... don't put yourself deeper in a hole. As he will soon find out in this league, points are at a premium.... Don't have self-inflicted penalties that will get you out of it."
I thought coach Ron Rivera should pull Benjamin off the field immediately following the play. Instead, he allowed Benjamin to stay on for the final snap before halftime. But Rivera did realize that this brief but bone-headed action by the rookie has to be nipped in the bud (he did a better job with cornerback Josh Norman, who didn't get flagged but got pulled out of the game after temporarily losing his head). Benjamin is going to be too big a part of the team to do such things.
"I told Kelvin that this is going to happen," Rivera said. "A guy is going to try to get inside your head and get you to play outside of your game and that's what we talked about. I told him that when they start doing that it's because they know you can do some good things. You'll learn how to handle it and learn how to be graceful about it and keep going forward."
But Rivera also defended Benjamin's actions to an extent. "Hopefully he'll get out of it," the coach said. "But this is also one of those things where you have to stand up for yourself. There's a point where you have to draw a line and a guy has to understand that if you do this and continue to do this then I'm going to draw a line in the sand. I told him that if you want to go get back at somebody, just go make a play."
The Benjamin incident reminded just about everyone of the three key personal-foul penalties the Panthers got in the San Francisco playoff loss in January. It can't happen again. I understand defending yourself, but don't do it in a way that hurts your team. Next time, Rivera should be quicker on the trigger with Benjamin if the wide receiver does so.

Could Panthers break NFL sack record for a season?
In 2014, is it possible the Panthers could set the all-time NFL record in the same category?
One member of the Panther defense said so publicly on Tuesday, becoming the first player to verbalize the goal.
"We set the bar pretty high last year, leading the league with 60 sacks," defensive tackle Colin Cole said to reporters. "The goal is to surpass that and see if we can't get up with the big dogs of the past years. We want to set records. We did as a franchise, we want to do it across the league."
I asked Cole then if he knew what the league record was. He didn't know which team had set it, but had a pretty good idea where the target would be. "What I do know is that the overall league record for sacks in a year was somewhere up in the mid-70s," Cole said. "For us as a defensive line, that's where our goal is. And maybe that's just me talking on my behalf, but if you don't shoot for the stars, you'll never reach the moon."
The actual team sack record: 72 sacks in 1984, by the fearsome Chicago Bears. That team didn't win the Super Bowl that year, but did so the next season with basically the same nucleus. Panther coach Ron Rivera was a reserve linebacker on that '84 Bears team but did not have any sacks that season.
It sounds simple in one respect for the Panthers to get to 73. One additional sack per game would do it and in fact get them to 76. But in reality, this is an almost impossible goal. NFL quarterbacks throw the ball on three-step drops so often these days that even an unblocked pass rusher sometimes has trouble getting to the quarterback.
Carolina would need double-digit sack seasons once again from Greg Hardy (15 in 2013) and Charles Johnson (11), but likely with both increasing their totals by at least three apiece. They would almost assuredly need a third double-digit sacker to emerge as well.
And then the Panthers would need some breakout sack performances from young players like rookie Kony Ealy or defensive tackle K.K. Short, as well as enough offense from Cam Newton and company that Carolina was playing with double-digit leads in a lot of fourth quarters and piling up sack numbers that way as teams were forced to throw deep passes that made the quarterbacks hold the ball longer in one-dimensional attacks.
Notice I said "nearly impossible," but not completely. This Panther defense was No.2 in the NFL last season and its front seven returns basically intact. It has loads of potential. It would be foolish to say this is completely out of the question.
But 73 sacks?! That works out to more than 4.5 sacks per game. There's a reason that record has stood for almost 30 years -- 72 is an incredibly high number. Ultimately, I don't think the Panthers will get there or really get anywhere close to it. But it will be a lot of fun to see them try.

New England got better of Panthers in Gaffney claim
Waiving Gaffney after he tore up his knee at Fan Fest Friday was a calculated risk and one the Panthers did not have to take at this point. But NFL teams so rarely claim players off waivers the Panther thought it was worth it and that they would simply get Gaffney onto their own injured reserve list. New England then stepped in and claimed Gaffney, leaving the Panthers no longer holding rights to their sixth-round draft pick of 2014 and also out the $96,000 signing bonus they gave him.
Panther coach Ron Rivera called New England's claim "disappointing" and "surprising" but said that it wasn't against any unwritten rule. He also echoed Panther general manager Dave Gettleman's defense that Carolina needed the roster spot for a healthy running back. "Wow, that was a tough one," Rivera said when asked about losing Gaffney Tuesday afternoon. "Surprising, you know. We had him slated to have surgery and all that. But new England, I knew they liked him coming out of the draft. So they made a move so we'll go from there. Disappointing. You'd love to be able to keep him."
It's true the Panthers needed the roster spot -- eventually -- but they certainly could have waived any of a number of other guys at other positions and not exposed Gaffney so quickly. I don't ultimately believe Gaffney is going to be anything close to an NFL star, but on this one the Panthers messed up. Gettleman likes to call draft picks "gold" in his pre-draft conversations. A bit of Carolina's gold was stolen Monday.
-- What's interesting about this, too, is that Carolina and New England keep bumping into each other in strange ways. There was Luke Kuechly's "Immaculate Perception" in the end zone against Rob Gronkowski last season -- no pass interference was called on a play that sure looked like PI -- that clinched Carolina's win over the Patriots. And of course there was that Super Bowl.
-- I keep looking down at my roster to see who No.83 is, because he keeps coming up with the ball in the end zone. It's rookie free agent Marcus Lucas, out of Missouri, and he's going to be a factor in the preseason.

The Science of Reminiscence: Joseph Smith Vignettes. III
This is the third in a series of posts on memories about Joseph Smith. The same cautions apply as noted in part 1.
Bro. Gates said. One day while at Far West. Br. Joseph was talking to Bishop Partridge concerning the lost tribes. Joseph remarked that they are hid from us. "Yes" said Br. Partridge in a rather unbelieving tone. I guess they are by land and water. "No" said Joseph, "by land and air." Br. P smiled as if he thought Joseph did not know what he was talking about. Joseph continued, "Yes, they are hid by land and air in such a manner that the Astronomers cannot get their telescopes to bear on them because they are at an angle that they can't be seen from the earth.[1]
I heard J. Gates relate this little incident in the St. Geo Temple. June 1880.[2]

Brigham Young
A word today in praise of Brother Brigham (d. August 29, 1877). Brigham Young was a man of his times, and those times were, by all measures, rough. With an iron will he and the Saints endured the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph Smith, finished the Nauvoo temple sufficiently that ordinance work could go forward there, and then worked day and night so that the Saints could be endowed and sealed there before their departure into the wilderness. In the semi-desert of the Great Basin, Brigham Young and his followers planted their crops and commanded them to grow with irrigation water channeled from the rivers and lakes, then raised up more temples, and sought for Zion.
Book Review: Neylan McBaine, Women at Church
Women at Church: Magnifying LDS Women's Local Impact (released today) appears at a tense moment for LDS church members with regard to gender issues. Some members have advocated for ordaining women to the priesthood while others have asserted that manifesting dissatisfaction with the status quo is inappropriate. As for author Neylan McBaine, she loves being a Mormon woman. But she also believes "there is much more we can do to see, hear, and include women at church" (xiii). Situated between these two poles without disrespect to either, her book has two main goals: First, to identify and acknowledge the real pain felt by some LDS women, and second, to offer solutions to provide a more fulfilling church experience for them—solutions that fit within the Church's current administrative framework.

LDS Dating Culture
Ever since various general authorities started drawing attention to the dating scene among Young Adults, I've taken an interest in the current status of dating, especially among LDS people, but also in general. I've polled my students about it occasionally and also my friends, single and not. As a borderline narcissistic introvert, you might be surprised to learn that I have friends, even friends from many different lands (states) and persuasions. But it's true. Of course the rest of you won't be surprised at all.
But to the point. Here, in no particular sequence of topics, are some observations from students, friends, and neighbors on dating culture among Mormons, and sometimes, others.

The Church and Ordain Women: Three Months On
It has been about three months since the disciplinary process that eventually led to Kate Kelly's excommunication from the Mormon church for "apostasy" began. Now that the initial furore over that act has died down, it is worth spending a moment to see where the Church now stands regarding Kelly and OW in particular, and women's issues in general. A recent piece by BBC World Service radio offers a fascinating glimpse into the Church's current mindset. In the report, Head of Public Affairs Michael Otterson and Deseret Book CEO Sheri Dew offer their thoughts on the affair and women in the Church generally.
Given the chronological distance from the excommunication (affording plenty of time to take stock), the setting of the interviews (a very fair BBC report), and the people involved (Otterson — who has reminded us he speaks with the Brethren's approval; Dew — the senior female conservative voice in the Church), I believe it is fair to assume that what was said represents a good indication of current Church opinion on the issue.
Before I summarise what I believe that opinion to be, two things need stating: 1. Obviously, we don't have the transcript of the full interviews. The Church is welcome to correct anything here that is not properly representative of what was said. 2. A sensible discussion of the conclusions I am going to draw can only really happen if you listen to the piece.
So here, in no particular order, is what the Church most likely thinks about Kelly, Ordain Women, and the current and future state of women in Mormonism:

Embracing and magnifying our MBA culture!
A common complaint of recent decades, from both within and without the church, is that the church leadership culture is too corporate. Complainants say there is too much of an MBA aesthetic, as opposed to, say, some ideal of religious leadership that exudes a more Zen, ascetic, or monastic sensibility. Not me! I wish we took the MBA theme just a little bit further! Case study: a flyer for a Europe area "Sisters' Meeting" featuring photos of three headline speakers, all of them male.[1]
The Desert Blossoms as the Rose (at Burning Man)
This week, somewhere in the middle of Nevada's Black Rock Desert, 50,000 people are gathering for the Burning Man festival, where they do…well, pretty much whatever they want. They trek in their RVs, buses, cars, motorcycles, and erect Black Rock City, where they live for a week in a state of "radical inclusion" and "radical self-expression." The name "Burning Man" comes from a huge wooden effigy ('The Man") they erect at the beginning of the week, and which they burn at the end of the week—the Burning Man.
At the end of the week, no trace of Black Rock City remains. The whole city is built by Burning Man attendees, inhabited for a week, and then torn down and completely erased. (This is not as easy as it might seem—imagine your total water needs for a week in the desert. You'd have to bring that with you, and then carry out any waste and trash.)
Breakfast of Champions (UPDATED)
Dear Leader Steve Evans has been griping INCESSANTLY to the BCC backlist this morning over how I was mean to him when he tried to explain that he has a tummy ache. In the nature of transparency and to set the record straight, I provide the details on our conversation, unedited:
Steve: I would like to tell you about my breakfast this morning.
Sent at 9:16 AM on Tuesday
Scott: i am listening
Steve: it started off as a collection of dried fruits and nuts.
Scott: Read: Granola Bar
Steve: no — prunes, apricots, cherries and almonds
Then I noticed that I brought a bag of cookies with me to work.
Then I noticed that I brought a bag of cookies with me to work.
So those went. Three cookies.
Then I saw that I had a half a family sized bag of Fritos in my office
and now I don't feel so good.
Scott: Fritos are gross, man
I can't believe you bought a family sized bag.
Steve: not when you have chili for lunch
they are a decent side with chili
Scott: chili + fritos = lifetime supply of sodium
Steve: what I'm saying here is that I need some compassion.
Scott: you're going to be really farty too
so let's see here: Fruit, nuts, cookies (what kind?), fritos.
did you wash it all down with a diet croak?
Steve: crystal light lemonade
Scott: excellent. it's important to keep the calories down.
Steve: I believe in Crystal Light
Scott: imagine the tie-in sales of rebooting a classic film: Dark Crystal (Light)
like a black raspberry flavor, maybe. A picture of skeksis on the tube of powder packets.
Steve: Dark Crystal Light is a delightfully oxymoronic product name
UPDATE! Here's a picture of Steve's lunch:

Fornication Pantaloons (updated)
For the last year or so, the last page of The Atlantic has been a column called "The Big Question," where various notable people answer a question posed by the magazine. In September, it asked: "What is the most significant fashion innovation in history?" In Jennifer Barnett's mind, the runner-up was buttons down the front of men's pants in the 1830s. Which is how this question ties into Mormonism: Barnett says that this innovation "prompted Brigham Young to denounce them as 'fornication pantaloons.'"
I had two reactions when I read this. The first was that those two words, put together, may be the greatest phrase in the history of clothing. The second, though, was skepticism. That sounds like too good a story to actually verify. [Read more...]

David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest explores the problem of entertainment-fueled solipsism (getting stuck inside your own head). The massive novel was published about a decade before we began carrying around Internet chat rooms, blogs, message boards, and Facebook in our pockets, but it anticipated some of the anxieties people feel about recent technological developments. In the book, a group of wheelchair-driving Canadian separatist terrorists from Quebec (don't ask) are trying to get their hands on a weapon of mass destruction in order to bring the United States to its knees. It's not a nuclear bomb or a toxic virus or anything like that. The weapon is a movie. A film. A film that is so perfect, so pleasurable, so captivating, so entertaining, that the moment you begin watching you will forgo everything else in your life (food, sex, friends, sleep, everything) just to keep watching.
Pretty much until you literally die. [Read more...]
The Science of Reminiscence: Joseph Smith Vignettes. II
This is the second in a series of posts on memories about Joseph Smith. The same cautions apply as noted in post 1.
Easton Kelsey heard him [Joseph Smith] say that he (Joseph) had been with John, the Beloved Apostle of Jesus who told him that he was busy among the ten tribes organizing and preparing them to return.[1]
Sunday Morning Poem: "Hear Me," by Czesław Miłosz
I've loved the poetry of Czesław Miłosz since a friend gave me a slim collection of his poems over a decade ago. Especially searing are the poems he composed amidst and about the Warsaw Uprising as a sympathetic Catholic outsider. Even after coming to the United States, Miłosz composed his verse primarily in Polish, often collaborating on the translations. This poem comes from his final collection, Second Space.
Hear me, Lord, for I am a sinner, which means I have nothing except prayer.
Protect me from the day of dryness and impotence.
When neither a swallow's flight nor peonies, daffodils and irises in the flower market are a sign of Your glory.
When I will be surrounded by scoffers and unable, against their arguments, to remember any miracle of Yours.
When I will seem to myself an impostor and swindler because I take part in religious rites.
When I will accuse You of establishing the universal law of death.
When I am ready at last to bow down to nothingness and call life on earth a devil's vaudeville.
Blessed are the Divorced
Many of us have recently participated in the "Eternal Marriage" lesson from the Joseph Fielding Smith manual. The lesson's final section carries the heading "As a husband and wife faithfully observe all the ordinances and principles of the gospel, their joy in marriage grows sweeter." The paragraphs in the section, however, lean toward defining this joy negatively, in terms of avoiding divorce. This tendency can have the effect of making our divorced sisters and brothers seem "less than" those whose marriages are currently working.

Spamming Flooding the Earth
The good folks at LDS Living have been burning the midnight oil, scouring the Handbook for the latest in correlated rubricking. They discovered some interesting changes in the section on Internet usage. We know missionaries have already stepped up their Internet game, so it looks like members are being invited to be better member missionaries along the same proven and effective lines. The excised bits are stricken out below and the new bits added in bold:
"Members are encouraged to
be examples of their faith at all times and in all places, including on the Internetuse the Internet to flood the earth with testimonies of the Savior and His restored gospel. If they useThey should view blogs, social networks, and other Internet technologies , they are encouraged to strengthen others and help them become aware of that which is useful, good, and praiseworthyas tools that allow them to amplify their voice in promoting the messages of peace, hope, and joy that accompany faith in Christ."
This calls for deep analysis. [Read more...]
Reimagining Apologia with an Uncertain Faith
Brian M. Hauglid, Senior Research Fellow at the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship, has provided us with this guest post. We're grateful for his participation.
I like to ask questions. It's what got me into the Church almost forty years ago. It's also a big part of my going into academics. I love teaching inquisitive students and I thoroughly enjoy trying, like a detective, to piece together evidence and come up with reasonable arguments and hypotheses to help explain questions in scholarship.
Church Finances, 1947-Style
In April 1959, the Church published its last financial report. The last here is important, though, because, for almost half a century leading up to that report, the Church presented a relatively detailed financial report in each April General Conference.
Until a couple months ago, though, I'd never seen the financial reports that the Church issued. In the course of his reading and research, J. Stapley came across the Church's 1947 financial report, and offered to let me blog it. I jumped at the chance, and the disclosure turns out, in many ways, to be as fascinating as I'd hoped.

My Hopes & Fears for the Next General Conference
We still have several weeks until the October General Conference, and given what's happened in the meantime, many Mormons like me are concerned it could be gloat-mageddon. If I were putting together a General Conference, here are the things I would include and what I would cut. Of course this is already unrealistic because there are over a dozen speakers, each of whom has his or her own areas of focus and points of view. But this is my list; YMMV. I'll start with the Fears and end with the Hopes. [Read more...]
The Science of Reminiscence: Joseph Smith Vignettes. I (It's Conference Time!)
This is the first in a series of posts on memories of Joseph Smith. One should always be cautious with memories, even for immediate events. So much of what we remember is colored by the bio-"technology" of perception and the ability of our brains to fill in the gaps of the past, while simultaneously supplying interpretive links to present worldview and belief.[1] Studies of memory, especially distant memories, suggest that those recollections rarely represent accurate reproductions of past events. Moreover, people who recalled Joseph Smith's sayings or acts were rarely disinterested bystanders. That said, these memories are interesting for what they may tell us of Joseph but perhaps more about those who remembered him.
Temple Night
So, it had been a long time since I had been to the temple. I'm talking years. I don't have a good sense of how many; certainly more than two. Maybe five or something like that. This was strictly a function of my fundamental laziness. I used to go maybe four to six times a year, but working in the City and commuting by train it's hard for me to do it on a week night. So often I would go on Saturdays, but then they started encouraging locals not to do that so that they could accommodate all the people coming in from out of town. These days, now that the temple district has been repeatedly cannibalized from various temples being constructed in what used to be a huge district, that concern probably doesn't exist anymore, but I still have that directive rattling around in my brain. And when my TR expired, getting a new one was a hassle. I'm psychologically not down with having to return to church after the three-hour block, and having to do two interviews is a pain. And the Stake one can be a difficult get. But, to make a long story short, my blogmates recently inspired me to get back in the saddle, I managed to orchestrate the two interviews I needed in a fairly painless bit of logistics, and with a hot new TR burning a hole in my pocket I attended our ward's temple night this evening. I just got back a little while ago. [Read more...]
Sloughs: of Despond or otherwise
Religious freedom under attack!
Tell me the truth. Was the exclamation point too much? Or just enough?
A while back–weeks or months ago, or maybe a year, who knows–I read an article about a dispute between a lesbian and a Muslim barber. This is not a joke. This was in Toronto. (Also not a joke.) The lesbian wanted a "businessman's haircut" (not sure what that is, not being a businessperson, but I assume it's a thing businesspersons and their barbers know about). The Muslim refused because his religion forbids him from touching a woman who isn't his relative. I don't know what the relevance of her being a lesbian was, but it was part of the story, which is why I include that tidbit here. I guess her being a lesbian somehow explained why she would be visiting a barbershop that catered exclusively to men, although I should think that would be offensive on some level, I don't know. Who am I to judge? It still doesn't explain why she'd want especially to visit a Muslim barbershop. But I digress. The woman was offended by the Muslim's refusal and filed a complaint with the human rights commission. The case went to moderation. [Read more...]

"Wrestling the Angel." Terryl Givens' Illuminated Tour of Mormon Thought
Terryl L. Givens
Wrestling the Angel: The Foundations of Mormon Thought: Cosmos, God, Humanity
Hardcover: i-xiii, 390 pages.
Publisher: Oxford University Press, forthcoming (2014).
Pre-order Amazon price in the US: $27.96.
When I heard that Professor Givens had embarked on a work of "Mormon Theology" I was more than a little skeptical. Not that it hasn't been done before. That isn't the problem. It's just that theology, as James Faulconer has written, is something that just doesn't seem to fit Mormonism. However, when I got my greedy little hands on Givens' book, I was pleased to see that it is a work of theological heritage. In Givens' words: "I am here tracing what I regard as the essential contours of Mormon thought as it developed from Joseph Smith to the present, not pretending to address the many tributaries in and out of Mormonism's main currents."(x)

Challenges of Vocation in Mormonism
It's a commonplace to note that in the Church nobody chooses her calling. Rather, God, through the mediation of priesthood leaders, calls us to serve, typically only for a limited time, in any of a wide variety of capacities. There is much to be said for this approach: sometimes, by doing things we never would have chosen for ourselves, we, like Moses, learn things "we never had supposed." Having this potential for divine surprises built into the system is a good thing.
Still, this approach comes at a price: we lose the concept of vocation—the idea that God calls us individually to walk a particular path of divine service. (Angela C recently wrote an excellent post about this.) To be sure, patriarchal blessings can provide something like an individual call, but in most cases there are not formal institutional venues for performing the things that we in the depths of our souls feel that God has called us to do. If a person in another denomination feels called to the ministry, in many cases there are formal processes of discernment and training to guide that person in working out whether this is really what God wants him or her to do. In Mormonism a person who feels so called must either wait for a formal calling or figure out some less formal way of acting as a minister. This latter option can mean "doing much good of [one's] own accord," but it can also lead to tensions with the institutional Church. [Read more...]
I have not been to the Mount of Transfiguration, but I have seen it. The view from the ruins of the ancient church at Umm Qais in Jordan (ancient Gedara) is of Tabor some twenty miles away in Israel. At Umm Qais, the connection with the miracle of the Gedarane swine is most prominent, but as I visited I found that my attention kept turning to Tabor and that strange event we call the Transfiguration.

Feral Interactive Colin McRae: DiRT 2
Originally released two years ago for pretty much every other platform save the Mac, Feral Interactive's Colin McRae: DiRT 2 ($40) has finally found its way on to Apple computers through the Mac App Store. This off-road racing title is another nail in the coffin for the "Macs don't play games" argument: with beautiful graphics and plenty of tracks, racing fans are going to be pretty happy with this one.
The game is based around a career mode, with more than 100 events to get you from rookie status all the way up to the X Games. There are 35 customizable vehicles, and support for more than 30 gamepads and steering wheels. If you're serious about racing, you'll probably want to use one of those instead of your keyboard. Since it is such a resource-intensive title, make sure you check out the tech specs before you click the "Buy App" button. You're going to need a newer graphic card, and if you're running a current-generation machine with the Intel HD 3000, it has to have at least 4GB of RAM—keep that in mind if you're running a base model MacBook Air or Mac mini. Most recent Mac purchasers will be wowed by the console-quality experience.

Thu Apr 18, 2013 2:19 pmPhillies placed LHP John Lannan on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left quadriceps muscle.
Fantasy Source Spin: Lannan suffered the injury Wednesday while allowing six runs over just 1 2/3 innings against the Reds. He has a 6.14 ERA and 7/2 K/BB ratio in 14 2/3 total frames this season. It's not clear how long he will be out.
Mon Apr 1, 2013 8:54 amMets placed RHP Jenrry Mejia on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 22, with elbow inflammation.
Fantasy Source Spin: Mejia began developing discomfort in his surgically-repaired right elbow in mid-March and will be shut down for at least five more weeks. He will probably be sent to Triple-A Las Vegas once he's deemed game-ready.
Sun Mar 31, 2013 8:28 pmYankees placed OF Curtis Granderson on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 22, with a fractured right forearm.
Fantasy Source Spin: Granderson hasn't reported any setbacks in his rehab program but is still at least six weeks away from returning. Originally expected to move to left field this year, the Yankees no longer plan to switch Granderson's position once he's ready to return.
Wed Sep 5, 2012 9:26 amMets transferred LHP Tim Byrdak from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.
Fantasy Source Spin: The move cleared a spot on the 40-man as the Mets added some September call-ups on Tuesday. Byrdak is scheduled to undergo surgery this week for a torn anterior capsule in his left shoulder and a meniscus issue with his right knee. The 38-year-old will likely miss the first half of the 2013 season.
Tue Sep 4, 2012 10:37 amMets transferred RHP Dillon Gee from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.
Fantasy Source Spin: The move opens a spot on the 40-man roster as the Mets welcome their September call-ups. Gee had surgery in July to repair an artery in his pitching shoulder. He isn't expected to return this season, but should be 100 percent for spring training next year.
Tue Aug 21, 2012 4:51 pmRockies placed OF Eric Young Jr. on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to August 20, with an intercostal strain.
Fantasy Source Spin: Young suffered the injury on Sunday and wasn't making any progress on the Rockies' bench. He's hoping to miss the minimum 15 days, but intercostal strains can be tricky.
Tue Aug 21, 2012 8:41 amMets placed RHP Jeremy Hefner on the paternity leave list.
Fantasy Source Spin: Hefner can remain on the paternity leave list for 24 to 72 hours. The Mets recalled left-hander Robert Carson from Triple-A Buffalo to take his place on the active roster.
Tue Aug 7, 2012 3:59 pmMets transferred RHP Dillon Gee from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.
Fantasy Source Spin: The move cleared a spot for left-hander Garrett Olson on the 40-man roster. Gee underwent surgery in mid-July to replace a portion of a damaged artery in his right shoulder and is unlikely to return this season.
Fri Aug 3, 2012 9:20 pmMets placed LHP Tim Byrdak on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Aug. 2, with a sore left shoulder.
Fantasy Source Spin: Frank Francisco took his spot on the active roster. Byrdak is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday, after which more should be known about his status moving forward. The 38-year-old lefty has a 4.40 ERA and 34/18 K/BB ratio over 30 2/3 innings this season.
Fri Jul 13, 2012 7:35 pmMets placed RHP Dillon Gee on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 8, with a blood clot in his right shoulder.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gee had surgery on Friday to replace a portion of the damaged artery in his throwing shoulder. There is no clear timeline for his return, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him miss the remainder of the season.
Tue Jul 3, 2012 4:49 pmRed Sox placed RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka on the 15-day disabled list with a neck injury.
Fantasy Source Spin: Dice-K lasted less than two innings on Monday night against the A's because of neck stiffness. He's had problems with his trapezius muscle for most of the year and could lose all of July to rest and rehab.
Sat Jun 23, 2012 2:47 pmAthletics placed RHP Bartolo Colon on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 18, with a right oblique strain.
Fantasy Source Spin: It's no surprise, as Colon won't return until the All-Star break, at the earliest. Tyson Ross will take his spot in the starting rotation Saturday night against the Giants.
Tue May 22, 2012 6:19 pmRed Sox transferred RHP Daisuke Matsuzka from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.
Fantasy Source Spin: Dice-K's rehab from elbow surgery has stalled due to neck soreness. It's not clear when he might be ready.
Wed May 9, 2012 4:53 pmOrioles transferred C Taylor Teagarden from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.
Fantasy Source Spin: Teagarden is still recovering from a back strain and now won't be eligible to join the Orioles until early June.
Mon May 7, 2012 4:13 pmMets placed SS Ruben Tejada on the 15-day disabled list with a right quad strain.
Fantasy Source Spin: Tejada suffered the injury Sunday after stumbling and falling face-first into first base. Justin Turner and Jordany Valdespin will split playing time at shortstop for now, but the Mets are hopeful Ronny Cedeno (intercostal strain) will be able to come off the disabled list by the end of the week. None are very exciting from a fantasy perspective.
Sat May 5, 2012 2:56 pmRockies placed OF Eric Young Jr. on the bereavement list.
Fantasy Source Spin: It sounds like he's dealing with a family issue. Young cannot miss more than seven games while on the list. Tyler Colvin stands to benefit in his absence.
Wed Apr 4, 2012 9:03 pmOrioles placed C Taylor Teagarden on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 26, with a strained back.
Fantasy Source Spin: As expected. Teagarden has reported improvement in his back, but was scheduled to receive a second epidural on Wednesday to help expedite his recovery process. The 28-year-old backstop is eligible to return on April 10, but might need an extra week. Ronny Paulino will serve as Matt Wieters' backup until he is ready to come off the DL.
Wed Apr 4, 2012 5:02 pmRed Sox placed RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 26, with a right elbow injury.
Fantasy Source Spin: Dice-K underwent Tommy John elbow surgery last summer. He's currently aiming for a June 1 return.
Tue Apr 3, 2012 10:47 pmNationals placed OF Rick Ankiel on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 28, with a quad injury.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Nationals are hoping that Ankiel will be ready for action by their home opener on April 12. He's expected to serve as the team's primary center fielder this season.
Fri Mar 30, 2012 3:44 pmNationals purchased the contract of OF Rick Ankiel from Triple-A Syracuse.
Fantasy Source Spin: Ankiel was always going to make the team and has now officially been added to the roster. He might need a DL stint to start the season, though, as he can't seem to get over a nagging quad injury.
Wed Feb 22, 2012 3:31 pmYankees placed LHP Pedro Feliciano on the 60-day disabled list.
Fantasy Source Spin: He was cleared to make room for the newly-signed David Aardsma. Feliciano underwent rotator cuff surgery last September and is expected to miss most of the 2012 season.
Sat Jan 28, 2012 2:59 pmDice-K is coming off of another injury-plagued season, having undergone
Tommy John surgery last June. He could return by midseason but isn't very
interesting with a 5.03 ERA a 1.68 K/BB ratio over the last three seasons.
Fantasy Source Spin: He's nothing more than a pitcher to stash in AL-only keeper leagues.
Source: Fantasy Source
Fri Oct 28, 2011 3:28 pmYankees activated LHP Pedro Feliciano from the 60-day disabled list.
Fantasy Source Spin: It's just a procedural move. Feliciano underwent rotator cuff surgery in early September and is in line to miss a significant chunk of the 2012 season. This, after sitting out all of this year with shoulder problems.
Mon Sep 5, 2011 10:57 amMets transferred RHP Taylor Buchholz from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list.
Fantasy Source Spin: The move cleared a spot on the Mets' 40-man roster. Buchholz hasn't pitched since the end of May due to depression and anxiety symptoms.
Fri Sep 2, 2011 3:24 pmMets transferred INF Daniel Murphy from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.
Fantasy Source Spin: He was cleared to make room for Josh Satin on the 40-man roster. Murphy suffered a torn MCL in his left knee last month, but is expected to be ready for spring training. He'll likely compete for a starting job at second base.
Thu Jan 31, 2013 11:16 am
Detroit didn't show much interest in bringing back its closer of three years. The organization was probably worn out after he blew five saves in the regular season and forced manager Jim Leyland to find other options during the playoffs. Valverde has shown lower velocity over the last two seasons, and his strikeout rate dropped to a very mediocre 6.3 K/9 last year. With his usual poor control, the strikeout rate is a bad sign.
Fantasy Source Spin: Managers love guys with closing experience, but Valverde's indicators show that he could be this year's Francisco Cordero.
Wed Jan 30, 2013 3:17 pm
Parnell was a fallback option again when the Mets needed a fill-in closer, topping his 2011 totals with some late-season work when Frank Francisco was hurt. He has been an underappreciated reliever over the last three seasons, posting a combined 2.98 ERA and 2.87 K/BB ratio during that time. The Mets may have been better off just handing Parnell the reins at closer than going outside the organization last offseason.
Fantasy Source Spin: This effective reliever remains a solid saves vulture after converting 13 opportunities over the last two seasons.
Wed Jan 30, 2013 3:01 pm
With strong indicators and a good minor league track record, it was no surprise that Jonathon Niese was able to put everything together in 2012. He slightly improved his K/BB ratio by lowering his walk rate, and Niese also did a fair job keeping the ball in the park. One of the most overlooked parts of Niese's game is his ability to hold runners -- he's allowed only 16 steals in his career. If he builds on his second-half control improvement (17 walks in 86.2 innings), Niese could be headed for stardom.
Fantasy Source Spin: Now a solid fantasy pitcher, Niese shows possible additional upside after his strong second half in 2012.
Wed Jan 30, 2013 1:26 pm
Dice-K had another injury-filled season for the Red Sox, struggling mightily in his 11 starts. Since his strong Rookie-of-the-Year season, the common theme for Matsuzaka has been injuries and poor control.
Fantasy Source Spin: He could run out of major league chances soon and should have already worn out his welcome for fantasy owners.
Wed Jan 30, 2013 12:50 pm
Tejada had big shoes to fill with the Mets following the departure of Jose Reyes, but he mostly lived up to the level set in 2011. When healthy, Tejada remained a strong contact hitter, and his defense also graded out relatively well at shortstop. He showed double-digit steals in the minors, but the poor success rate so far in the majors has made manager Terry Collins more hesitant to send him.
Fantasy Source Spin: Just a batting-average option, so his value is quite limited in mixed leagues.
Mon May 26, 2014 5:23 pm
Mets recalled RHP Vic Black from Triple-A Las Vegas.
Fantasy Source Spin: As expected. Black has been mentioned as a possible closer, but he'll have to iron out his control issues to become an impact arm.
Thu May 8, 2014 8:59 am
Adam Rubin of ESPN New York has confirmed that the Mets are calling up infield prospect Wilmer Flores.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Mets have grown frustrated with Ruben Tejada and his .183/.302/.207 batting line, so they'll try something different at shortstop. Flores is not a good defender, but he owns a .307 batting average with an .860 OPS, five home runs, and 25 RBI in 29 games this season at the Triple-A level. Grab the 22-year-old in all NL-only fantasy formats and some deeper mixed leagues.

Sat May 3, 2014 5:20 pm
Mets manager Terry Collins said Saturday that Juan Lagares will be his primary center fielder.
Fantasy Source Spin: Lagares is starting over Eric Young Jr. again on Saturday night against the Rockies. The 25-year-old is batting .333 with an .876 OPS in 64 plate appearances this season and is worth owning in NL-only fantasy formats.
Source: Mike Vorkunov on Twitter
Thu May 1, 2014 11:38 pm
Juan Lagares went 2-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in Thursday's loss to the Rockies.
Fantasy Source Spin: Lagares picks up where he left off before his hamstring injury landed him on the disabled list. Batting .314 entering the game, his two-hit outing beefs up his average to .327. It would be shocking if he kept up this level of production all season, so those who own him in NL-only formats should enjoy it while it lasts.
Thu May 1, 2014 4:30 pm
Eric Young, Jr. is not in Thursday's lineup against the Rockies.
Fantasy Source Spin: Young is the odd man out now that Juan Lagares is back from the disabled list. The Mets are using Chris Young, Lagares, and Curtis Granderson from left to right in the outfield with Juan Nicasio on the hill for Colorado.

It might be hard to believe considering its vast array of products, but Sears, Roebuck and Co. began with one accessory: watches. In 1886, Richard W. Sears bought a box of unwanted watches from a jeweler, thinking he could turn a profit by selling them. He was correct and committed to the watch business by hiring Alvah C. Roebuck, an experienced watchmaker.
As time went on, though, their business expanded its umbrella far beyond what people wore on their wrists. Sears became known as the place to shop for almost any appliance, from sewing machines to those magical boxes that create water from nothing and clean your clothes.
Today, the stores stock clothing, accessories, electronics, kitchen equipment, tools for outdoor living, and home decor. This variety is sustained by Sears's proprietary brands—Kenmore, Craftsman, and DieHard, to name a few—and other national names that populate the shelves.
Speckled fish swim languidly through turquoise-blue water beneath an orange sky. Nearby, a pair of white cranes stretch their long necks toward the sun, and sea turtles glide past fronds of kelp looking for their lost keys. But this isn't an exotic animal sanctuary—rather, these natural scenes are captured in gleaming stained glass. The charming images are the work of the craftsmen at D & L Art Glass, a studio specializing in stained and leaded panes. They shape artistic pieces to adorn windows or doors, form colorful pendants, and etch eye-catching patterns into metal or stone surfaces. Instead of keeping their crystalline knowledge to themselves, the experts instruct others in the glass arts during classes and multiday workshops.
Though the titular owner of Crazy Dave's Music might tell you his music shop began with dragons and goblins, it really began with the even more fantastic 1980s. Years after assuming ownership of a failing Orange Park pawn shop, Dave realized that the most popular items in his inventory were always musical instruments. In keeping with the demand, he banded together with local musicians to turn his space into a fully realized music store. Construction crews renovated new rooms for live sound equipment and effects lighting, filled the old jewelry cases with pedals and microphones, and lined the walls with mixing equipment and synthesizers. Today, Dave's store still houses a menagerie of instruments and accessories. Shelves and corners filled with DJ gear and high-end guitars bear the logos of famous brands such as Fender, Moog, and Yamaha.
Mattress1One's immense inventory brims with top-quality slumbering surfaces from renowned brands such as Tempur-Pedic, Serta, Sealy, and Stearns & Foster. At multiple locations throughout Florida, knowledgeable staff members roam showrooms that brim with an array of mattresses forged from such materials as memory foam, high-tech innersprings, silk, and cashmere. They also curate an online Mattress 101 guide, which includes handy tips on selecting the ideal mattress size, keeping the mattress in tiptop shape, and mounting a rock-solid legal defense in case you accidentally rip the tags off.
For more than 30 years, the staff at the family-owned Leonard's Furniture has helped homeowners make their dwellings more livable by stocking a 14,000 sq. ft. showroom full of décor and furnishings from more than 150 vendors. The team makes the shopping process easier by delivering and assembling any in-stock items free of charge. Those items include furnishings for dining rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms from brands such as Ashley, Lane, FlexSteel, and Tempur-Pedic. The store's comprehensive stock includes home office staples including desks, chairs, and mirrors that come in varying sizes and opinions on Snow White. Shoppers can also find equipment to furnish home-entertainment rooms, such as theater seats that eject anyone who takes out their cell phone during a movie.
"Take care of your customers and they will take care of you" has been the standing credo of Wood You Furniture's owner, Tom Bolton, for nearly three decades. Today, the solid-wood-furniture purveyor and his two sons, TJ and Andrew, still espouse this customer-first mentality as they meander the floor to aid customers with their expertise. The store sources sturdy furniture made solely from solid woods, both finished and unfinished. The selection ranges from traditional to contemporary with bedroom, dining, and child-specific furniture capable of withstanding generation upon generation of Play-Doh-related messes and indoor firework shows. The store also offers custom design and finishing services, as well as delivery services.
