Vaginal muscle contraction is sensed by change of pressure within a flexible, hollow tubular member that is adapted to be compressed in response to muscle contraction. A simple pressure transducer embodies a pressure tube connected with the tubular sensing member and having an end covered by a flexible diaphragm that expands in response to increased pressure so as to progressively block light transmitted to a photosensitive resistor. The resistor controls an electrical signal that is employed to provide an audible or visual display that provides a measure of relative strength of muscular contraction and which also may be used in a biofeedback loop to inform the user of the intensity of the contraction. Accuracy of the inexpensive transducer is increased by compensating the output electrical signal for both nonlinearity and hysteresis of the distensible rubber diaphragm.

a light detector in said second compartment positioned to receive light transmitted along a light path through said partition aperture,
a rigid inextensible pressure vessel fixedly mounted within said first compartment, said vessel having an end positioned adjacent said partition aperture,
a flexible diaphragm extending across and sealing said vessel end, said diaphragm being adapted to flex into said light path upon increase of pressure within said vessel, so as to progressively block said aperture as pressure in said vessel increases,

The present invention relates to apparatus for measuring and indicating strength of vaginal muscle contractions and more particularly concerns such apparatus uniquely arranged for use with a simplified and inexpensive pressure transducer.
The need for both direct measurement of strength of vaginal muscle contraction and the benefits of providing an indication of such contraction, as is required for exercise of the muscles, have been recognized for many years. A number of devices have been developed for clinical measurement of vaginal muscle strength and for the provision of feedback that displays both occurrence and strength of muscular contractions which may not be otherwise detectable. Apparatus of this type are shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,507,858; 2,541,520; 2,839,050; 3,598,106; 3,640,284; 3,683,893; 4,050,440; and 4,167,938. Devices shown in these patents generally embody pressure sensing mechanisms that provide dials or gauges, or the like, for displaying pressure variations. Instruments of the prior art are fairly bulky, complex, difficult to manufacture, and costly. Accordingly, relatively expensive prior apparatus may be acceptable for clinical use, but is unacceptably complex and costly for use as an individual home exercising apparatus.
In carrying out principles of the present invention in accordance with a preferred embodiment thereof, a flexible, hollow tubular member adapted to be compressed in response to vaginal muscle contraction is coupled with a simple, inexpensive transducer that provides an electrical signal to an indicator which displays relative intensity of muscle contraction. The transducer is formed of a partitioned housing having a light source in one chamber and a photosensitive resistor in the other chamber. Means responsive to pressure in the tubular member controls the amount of light received by the photosensitive resistor from the light source. Resistance of the photosensitive resistor generates an electrical signal that controls the display. According to a feature of the invention, light is transmitted from one part of the housing to another through an aperture in the partition and a pressure tube in the housing, connected to receive pressure from the tubular sensing member, has its end closed by a flexible diaphragm which flexes to progressively block light transmitted to the photosensitive resistor as pressure in the tube increases. According to still another feature of the invention, the diaphragm is subject to nonlinearity and hysteresis in its flexure, and means are provided to electrically compensate for both nonlinearity and hysteresis so as to improve accuracy and repeatability of an exceedingly simple and inexpensive transducer.
FIG. 1 illustrates a tubular sensing member and transducer embodying principles of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an electrical circuit of the apparatus of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 illustrates a hysteresis curve typical of the flexible diaphragm employed in the transducer.
As shown in FIG. 1, a hollow, closed tubular member 10 has a thin, but self-supporting flexible wall 12 made of a rubber, such as latex, and formed for insertion into contact with vaginal muscles. Tubular member 10 is connected by means of a fitting 14 and an inextensible tube 16 to a transducer, generally indicated at 18, which transduces pressure within the tubular member 12 into an electrical signal.
Transducer 18 is formed of a light tight housing which, in the illustrated embodiment, is of a generally rectangular configuration having a bottom 20, sidewalls 22 and 24, end walls 26, 28 and a top 30. A partition 32 extends completely across the interior of the housing, dividing it into a light transmitting chamber 34 adjacent end wall 28 and a receiving chamber 36 adjacent end wall 26. An aperture 38 is formed in a central portion of the partition 32 for transmitting light projected from a light source, such as a light emitting diode40, mounted within chamber 34 upon end wall 28. Mounted upon end wall 26 within the receiving chamber 36 is a photosensitive resistor or photocell 44 which provides an electrical signal of a magnitude related to the amount of light falling upon the resistor. The photocell 44 is positioned to receive light transmitted through aperture 38 from light emitting diode 40.
Fixedly secured to the transducer housing and positioned within light source chamber 34, closely adjacent partition 32, is a rigid pressure tube 46 having a lower end connected by a fitting 48 that extends through the bottom wall of the housing to one end of the connecting tube 16. The upper end of pressure tube 46 is open and sealed with a thin, flexible diaphragm 50 that is fixedly mounted on the tube end. This sealed end of the pressure tube is positioned immediately adjacent the aperture 38 so that when the diaphragm 50 flexes in response to increased pressure within pressure tube 46, light transmitted through the aperture 38 from light emitting diode 40 to the photocell 44 is at least partially blocked. Diaphragm 50 may be formed of a thin rubber, which has a significant amount of stretch and flexibility. Other materials, such as very thin metal or the like, may also be used.
Conveniently, the housing, except for its top, and including the partition, is molded as an integral unit of a suitable rigid plastic. The light source and photocell and pressure tube are then fixedly mounted within the housing, as indicated, with the diaphragm 50 secured to and sealed upon the end of the pressure tube. Top 30 is then secured to the housing sides and ends to provide the pair of light sealed chambers 34, 36.
The housing of transducer 18 is relatively small and, for example, may be approximately two inches long by one and a half inches high by a half inch wide. Pressure tube 46 is also preferably small, having a length of approximately three quarters of an inch and an outside diameter of three eighths of an inch in a presently preferred embodiment. Diaphragm 50 is positioned snugly over the open end and may be made of rubber having a thickness of approximately ten mils. The pressure tube and rubber diaphragm are configured so as to decrease the amount of stretch of the rubber with increase of pressure, thereby to decrease nonlinearity of the output electrical signal caused by nonlinearity in the stretching of the rubber. A larger diameter of the pressure tube will yield less flexing of the diaphragm for a given change in pressure. Aperture 38 may also be suitably shaped so as to decrease effects of nonlinearity of the rubber flexing or stretching. This entails shaping the aperture so as to conform to the profiles of the diaphragm 50 as the diaphragm expands with increase in pressure. For example, the shape of the profiles of the diaphragm (on a plane perpendicular to the axis of light transmitted from the diode 40) may be plotted and aperture 38 shaped so that the area of the aperture blocked by the flexed diaphragm will have a more linear relation to the magnitude of pressure within pressure tube 46. Further, such nonlinearity, and also hysteresis to which the rubber diaphragm is also subjected, may be compensated electrically, as will be described below.
Illustrated in FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an electrical circuit employing the pressure sensor and transducer of FIG. 1. Photosensitive resistor 44, indicated as a variable resistor in FIG. 2, is connected in a voltage divider network with a second resistor 60 in series with a voltage source or battery 62. Light emitting diode 40 is connected in series with a resistor 64, which are both in parallel with the divider circuit 44, 60. The resistance of photocell 44 varies according to the amount of light received by the photocell, and, accordingly, the voltage at point 66, the junction of resistors 44 and 60, will vary with the amount of light received. Voltage at point 66 is fed to the noninverting input of a differential amplifier 68 having its inverting input connected via a resistor 70 to the output of a second differential amplifier 72 that provides a reference to the inverting input of the amplifier 68. THe noninverting input of reference amplifier 72 is provided with a selectively variable voltage from a potentiometer 74. The amplifier output is fed back to its inverting input, whereby its output at point 76 will follow the input voltage selected by potentiometer 74. Potentiometer 74 is set and amplifier 72 and resistor 70 chosen so that the reference signal at the inverting input of amplifier 68 is equal to the voltage at point 66 in the absence of any pressure signal. Therefore amplifier 68 will provide a zero output when the sensed pressure is ambient pressure (atmospheric).
In a presently preferred embodiment of this invention, correction of errors due to hysteresis and nonlinearity of the flexible diaphragm 50 of pressure tube 56 is most readily handled electronically by appropriate modification of the voltage signal provided at the output of amplifier 68. FIG. 3 illustrates the hysteresis and nonlinearity problems. The voltage output of the transducer follows a first curve 80 when pressure is increasing, and when pressure is decreasing the voltage follows a second nonlinear curve 82, due to the hysteresis of the diaphragm. Accordingly, for a given transducer output voltage level V1, there may be a corresponding pressure of either P1 or P2 , as illustrated in FIG. 3. Further, the relation between V1 and each of P1 and P2 is nonlinear.
To effectively compensate for nonlinearity and hysteresis, the voltage signal from amplifier 68 is fed to an analog-to-digital converter 84 which produces a digital code representing the analog voltage value. This code is fed to a short-term storage circuit 86 and also fed directly to an up/down comparison circuit 88 which compares the instantaneous digital signal from the converter 84 with a previous value of this signal to determine which is greater. Comparison circuit 88 effects operation of a table selection circuit 90 which operates much like a switch to steer the digital signal provided from the analog-to-digital converter 84 to either an up table 92 or a down table 94, each of which provides a set of linearized values for the respective hysteresis curves 80 and 82. Each table may be a storage device having pressure values stored at different memory locations. The values stored at the several locations are empirically determined so that a given voltage value from the analog-to-digital converter 84 may be employed to select an address of the particular table at which address is contained the actual linearized value of pressure for the particular digital value used to enter the memory. The up table 92 provides a set of values based upon the increasing pressure curve 80, whereas the down table 94 provides a set of values based upon the decreasing pressure curve 82. The selected table accordingly provides a digital output compensated for both hysteresis and nonlinearity, which is then fed to output equipment, including an audio device 96 and a visual display 98. The audio device 96 may include circuitry to produce an audible frequency according to the magnitude of the input so that, for example, as sensed pressure increases, frequency of the audio output would increase concomitantly. Similarly, the visual display may provide a precise display of the magnitude of the sensed pressure.
The described circuitry for nonlinearity and hysteresis compensation may be mechanized in a number of different ways, but is most readily handled by use of a common microprocessor and suitable programming. The various functions, such as Short Term Storage, Up/Down Compare, Table Select, Up Table, and Down Table, preferably are all performed within the microprocessor and are functions of software. In such an arrangement, the program may be readily changed as changes in manufacturing methods, materials or configuration may require different compensations.
The described apparatus is useful as a clinical instrument for diagnosis and as a biofeedback device for exercising vaginal muscles. As a clinical instrument, a precise quantitative measurement can be provided by a visual digital display to afford an accurate measurement of the strength of muscle contraction. As is well known, the strength of such contractions is an important diagnostic measure. For use as a biofeedback device, the occurrence of vaginal muscle contraction, which may not otherwise be discernible, is readily displayed and identified by either the visual display or an audio tone which varies in frequency as the pressure signal increases.
As the muscles in contact with the outer wall 12 of the tubular member 10 contract, the walls are distorted inwardly to increase the pressure of the confined volume of air and thus to increase the pressure within pressure tube 46. Increase of pressure within the pressure tube causes diaphragm 50 to flex outwardly, thereby progressively blocking more of the light being transmitted through the aperture 38. As less light is transmitted through aperture 38, less light is received by the photo resistor 44, and its resistance increases to provide a pressure signal at point 66. The pressure signal, as previously described, is compared with the reference at the input to amplifier 68, is corrected for nonlinearity and hysteresis, and then employed to provide the described displays.
The described biofeedback and measuring apparatus provides an improved diagnostic and exercising instrument employing an unique, rugged, reliable, yet simple and inexpensive, transducer in a system that affords simple, readily useful visual and audio displays for an inexpensive exercising device and yet has sufficient accuracy for clinical diagnosis.
The foregoing detailed description is to be clearly understood as given by way of illustration and example only, the spirit and scope of this invention being limited solely by the appended claims.

"Psychotherapy doesn't pretend to erase our suffering, or even to make us whole. What it does offer is even more precious, to gain a level of self-understanding that makes me, the person embarking on this journey, the most self-aware person I know. As we gain an appreciation for how we got stuck in the problems that seem insurmountable, the less invested we become in our resentments, and the more freedom we have to simply be who we are. What could be more amazing than that?

"Being a licensed psychotherapist since 1986, I've worked with a wide variety of issues. I know that pain and suffering are inevitable in life, but being miserable is optional. With warmth and humor, I am skilled at helping clients make meaning of the suffering, while facilitating and eliciting options that lead out of it. I work with couples and individuals of different races, ethnicities, sizes, orientations, genders, and ages. Therapy is the process of examining your life as a great novel in process of being created. My job is to help you envision and shape the next chapter.

"Life is hard enough without holding ourselves up to unreasonable standards and beating ourselves up when, inevitably, we don't reach them. Can you imagine accepting all parts of yourself and treating these parts with kindness, and compassion? So often, when we are having a hard time, our response is to struggle, avoid the issue, or get down on ourselves. Our intentions are good, but we usually end up feeling worse. It may seem paradoxical, but turning towards our problems with an attitude of self-acceptance is the first step towards change.

"Sometimes it can be very difficult to get relief from emotional problems on your own. It's hard to dedicate the time and space to figure it out. Often the situation feels too confusing and hopeless to confront alone. In my practice, I work together with people grappling with universal struggles such as how to connect with others more freely and build healthy relationships, how to identify work that is meaningful to you and feel successful doing it, how to be more accepting of yourself, and how to move on from past trauma and disappointments.

For screen protectors, Fosman wins, hands-down! Smooth, thin, glossy, fits correctly, and does not interfere with finger response. Easy to apply - no water used. And very economical. I just got one for my HTC One and it is great. The phone is great, as well. My fourth HTC handset and this one is fantastic! I receive my CIMO clear/frosted flexible TPU cover tomorrow, so I can have body protection, but still show off the beauty of the HTC One.

The BSE is a wet application protector and has the soft/sticky feel but was cheap and definitely worth the cheap price even though it came up easily and only lasted around 4 months.
The Spigen protectors are dry application protectors and were much more expensive but seem to be better quality and have more of a glass-like feel to them since they're hard plastic. We've only had them on for a couple of weeks now but them seem to be holding up really well.
I ordered the XtremeGuard protectors because they were cheap and I didn't know how well the Spigen ones would hold up. Based on how poorly these XtremeGuard protectors are cut, they won't be used and are going to go in the trash. I'll probably order a couple more BSE protectors to use if we run into issues with the Spigen protectors that are on now since the BSE ones are cheap and I know that they are decent quality.

the old, original ZAGG stuff definitely had a tacky feel and the orange peel surface. the newer ZAGG products have minimized this to a degree. they also have different "types" now - I think there's a HD version and a fingerprint resistant/oleophobic one.
I think a lot of people who don't like the wet application protectors are following the wrong instructions.
the best way to install the wet protectors is with a small dish or tupperware filled with warm water and a small drop or two of common dish/hand soap. wash your hands thoroughly before starting.
remove the paper backing then place the protector in the dish. allow to soak for a minute or so. keep your fingers very wet. remove protector from dish and apply. DO NOT SPRAY THE DEVICE. don't really spray the protector at all either unless it starts to dry out during installation. then use your finger to smooth out the water beneath, wiping with a towel or soft cloth as you do. keep fingers wet. as it starts to dry do any final positioning and finger squeegeeing. then allow the device to dry at least a few hours. I say overnight to be safe but 6 to 8 is often sufficient.
I've installed literally hundreds of wet protectors now. I've probably done 50 or so dry installs. the dry installs are a real bitch. especially if you are anal about dust/dirt getting trapped underneath.
if you got those from xtremeguard and the film itself has irregular cuts I would contact customer service. they respond very quickly. I think the guy I dealt with at xtremeguard customer service was Allan?
also all protector manufactures that use die-cutting can get a bad stamp. I got a ZAGG once years ago that looked like it got double stamped. it was WAY off.
it happens.

screen only or full body?
i am not a fan of most full body protectors OF ANY BRAND. i prefer a wet apply protector for the screen on devices and some sort of case/bumper for the rest.

I've done three installs with Fosmon - one ipad mini, one Nook Hd+, one Kindle Fire HD.
my comments about dry installs aren't conjecture. like I said I've done about 50 dry installs and they all work very, very similarly. just like most wet installs work very, very similarly.

PeopleNet has partnered with Pana-Pacific to distribute its fleet management products and software.
The distribution agreement will allow Pana-Pacifc to market and resell PeopleNet products through heavy-duty truck dealerships to fleets of 25 tractors or less.
Pana-Pacific wants to engage OEM dealerships to allow small fleets better access to the products PeopleNet provides.
"With the pending electronic driver logs mandate, now more than ever before, companies that manage smaller sized fleets are relying on telematics products to provide safety, efficiency and performance improvement tools," said PeopleNet Senior Vice President Garland Jackson.

Justin Bieber's BFF Lil Twist is in hot water again, this time for an alleged beating (and pantsing) of actor Chris Massey following an argument on Friday.
Sources report that Chris Massey, his brother Kyle Massey, Lil Twist and others were kicking it at Kyle's apartment across from The Grove in L.A. at the time.
After a heated dispute erupted (it's unclear why), Twist and some of his friends came at Chris, pounding him and then pulling his pants down for good measure.
Chris, an actor who once starred alongside Jamie Lynn Spears on Zoey 101, went to the hospital to seek treatment and has filed a report with the cops.
The police are investigating the allegations against Twist.
Massey's family later released a statement saying Chris is doing well after the incident, but he plans to "legally pursue this to the full extent of the law."

I was really looking forward to a green tea tasting as described on the company web site. Unfortunately when I got there I was informed tea tasting was not done there. My friend and I ordered two of the best Japanese green teas, Gyokuro Supreme & Gyokuro. To my horror after the tea was steeped for one minute, the leaves were discarded before I could even see them. I enjoy smelling and seeing tea leaves before they are brewed. I also enjoy my green teas on the strong side so was sadly disappointed by the brew time and large quantity of water used. I bought a few bulk teas; an excellent matcha, two senchas to try at home. The bulk teas were OK but were on the dry side since they are kept in open barrels, rather than sealed in small containers. Their Japanese green teas are not identified by specific farm or district so I can only assume they are blends from different vendors. I was disappointed overall, possibly this tea room excels in teas from other parts of the world.

Playing for the Cause Helps Out Those in Need
By Joseph Hess
Success has not ruined Vedera. Nor has it tarnished the Kansas City quartet's youthful innocence. Once an all-ages local favorite, the band signed to Epic and shortly after began hitting the road with heavyweights like the Fray, Eisley, Jason Mraz and, currently, All-American Rejects. Then the song placements came — at last count — five on The Hills alone. But hard-learned experience (such as the December 2008 van accident that hospitalized its sound man) and personal integrity — anchored in class-act frontwoman Kristen May — have kept these rising tykes grounded in reality. The group's sound, on the other hand, has grown into an elevating swell of epic, guitar-powered pop with swooning melodies and deeply earnest lyrics. When May asks, "Is there anything left in this world that will satisfy me?" you know there's more to this band than seeing its name in lights. Look for Vedera's long-awaited Epic debut LP later this year.

The same for BMW, the BMW M3 (E92) GT2 was introduced only in 2009 (after a two-year absence by the brand).
Just like in the GTE Am and GTE Pro categories, in the former - won by Porsche - the contender from Ferrari is the F430 whereas in the latter - won by Ferrari - the contender is the F458.
Those two cars raised the bar in the GTs class. The 911 is lagging behind. Period.
Dear god, search for logic, you seem to have misplaced it.
No car has DOMINATED racing like the 911. A car that has a history since the 60's, with two wheelbase changes and one engine change (still the same number of cylinders, in the same layout though) has fully dominated sports car racing. How are the Ferrari 250 GTO, Aston DB6, BMW 3200CS and Shelby Cobra doing in FIA races?
What about Toyota or Subaru, how's their esteemed racing going?
The simple point is that in a thread about a Subura/Toyota joint venture, you seem to have stuck your head in the sand about what constitutes racing dominance. Drive around for a minute, the first 911 you see is that dominance. Ignore it if you want, it's still there and we all know it.

In Mormon circles, people typically express the views that faith precedes miracles and that the truly righteous do not need miracles to develop their faith. I want to argue that this view overlooks the importance that miracles do and should play in our decisions to follow Christ. [Read more…]

Murder, Mayhem, Sin, and Voyeurism
Like many Americans, I consider murder to be a form of entertainment, and I'm a bit ashamed by that. I can't really survive international flights without a good gripping murder mystery in my hand. The more creative and depraved, the more I can count on it to keep me occupied, make the flight seem short, and stave off air sickness. I spent the new years holiday watching a marathon of "Castle" on cable. More murder. Somehow it doesn't seem like such a horrible sin and terrible tragedy when it is presented as a "whodunit" or when it's presented by characters who quip chirpily as their flirtation weaves its way through crime scenes, witness interrogation, and visits to the medical examiners and their corpses.

On being lost
This last week I lost one of my kids. The five year-olds and I leave school together and walk through a square and down a pedestrian-only street about 500 yards to the bus stop. One of the boys had stopped for a moment to play in a snow pile and the other and I walked a little further along and stopped just around a corner to look in a shop window.
When I looked back, the first was gone. I wasn't too worried as the area is fairly self-contained and not terribly busy, but then we started walking again and couldn't see him at all. And then, way up by the bus stop, we saw a flash of his blue woolen hat, and we ran to catch up to him. He had just run out of a store and headed to the bus stop, obviously looking very hard, and I started shouting his name, but he was clearly panicked, literally running back and forth on the sidewalk trying to sort out what to do. People standing around him looked at me, this giant American shouting on the street, but then the light changed and he ran across the street toward another bus stop we sometimes use. His brother and I ran after him, shouting his name, but he just couldn't hear us, probably sobbing himself and deafened by the adrenaline. He was running down the sidewalk in a frenzy, and I just ran and kept shouting his name. Just as he was deciding whether to cross the street again, a woman stopped next to him, knelt down, said something and pointed toward me. Finally he looked back and saw me and ran toward me. I gave the woman a wave and a thank you, and knelt down to hug my hysterical son. [Read more…]
Mormons and the Kindergarchy
A couple years ago I read this Weekly Standard piece by Joe Epstein. The subject is "kindergarchy": rule by children. Mr. Epstein's beef is that parents these days ("these days" starting about 30 or 40 years ago) pay too much attention to their kids, which is bad for both kids and parents, and worse for society in general. This isn't a new idea, of course. Parents have supposedly been spoiling their kids rotten for, well, at least the last 30 or 40 years; the world keeps getting worse, and still we persist in making child-rearing the center of our adult universe. Go figure. [Read more…]
Memories of a Year, Up in Flames
[Cross-posted to In Medias Res]
Last night the historic Provo Tabernacle, the most beautiful building in Provo, Utah, caught fire. The fire burned through the night, with firefighters working both within the building and without to contain it, without avail. Word is, the building is a total loss, and will have to be demolished. (More links and words about the tragedy at Ardis Parshall's blog and Juvenile Instructor. Also, more photos below the fold, courtesy of David H. Bailey.)
Monday Mid-Day Answering the Allegations Set Before Us Poll

Being a relative newcomer to these parts, this sort of comment–and they do appear from time to time–always make me curious: How do readers here view the path that BCC has taken? Has BCC become more thoughtful? Less so? More political? More Liberal? More Conservative? Stayed basically the same? Here is your big chance to weigh in on these extraordinarily important questions.

The Perfect Diet for Mormons
Recurring Guest and BCC Man-Crush Kyle M returns with honor.
I haven't had a carb in over a week now, and you know, it hasn't been that bad. December might be the perfect month for Atkins or South Beach Diet, because I'm literally surrounded by carbs and sugar for a whole month—sugar cookies, candy canes, hot chocolate, seasonal peppermint ice cream (the best kind). If I can forgo all the carb temptations of December, that's like skipping carbs for two regular months, and as a reward to myself, I won't set New Years resolutions.

If you're a woman, are there only six deadly sins?
So in October we had a fifth-Sunday combined RS/PH lesson, and the bishop talked to us about pornography. Or rather, about the problem of pornography. (I don't want to make our fifth-Sunday lessons sound more exciting than they are.) It was depressing to me. Depressing mostly because my son just turned ten, and it really hit home to me that what's left of his innocence is destined to be taken from him very quickly, and there's nothing I can do to stop that. We live in a pornified culture. You know, sex is everywhere, everything's about sex, blah blah, sex sex sex, blah blah. A local frozen yogurt shop used to have this billboard featuring a very attractive set of female breasts clad in a tight sweater, and the slogan was "We'll fill any cup size." And, you know, that's not hardcore or anything, but it's just…come on. Et tu, yogurt? This is the world we live in. So, yeah, I came home and told my husband (who works in Primary and doesn't get to attend the combined fifth-Sunday lessons) that he had to have another birds-and-bees-ish talk with the ten-year-old. Then I shook the oogies off, and my work was done. [Read more…]
What would Jesus do (or not do)?
Back when I was in college, I overheard a classmate talking about how she wanted to buy her boyfriend a cross—as in the kind you wear around your neck—but her boyfriend was very particular about his crosses and would only wear one made of wood, and wooden crosses were hard to come by these days. When he looked at crosses made of gold or silver or other precious materials, he insisted, "God wouldn't wear something like that."
To which I responded, even though it was none of my business, "Why would God be wearing a cross necklace in the first place?" [Read more…]

The Lord hath taken away
Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.
Job 1:20-21
My life hasn't been that hard. I have always had enough to eat and a roof over my head. I live in a free country. I have it better than most people in the world, and certainly better than most people who have lived in this world throughout history. I like to think that I am grateful for these things, and yet, like most people who have lived privileged lives, I've come to expect a certain level of ease and comfort. I take difficulty and discomfort like a slap in the face from the universe. What did you do that for, universe? [Read more…]
Roosts and Nests
I have twice been mistaken for a homeless person. Once was funny, the other devastating. Both happened in college. The first time, I was wandering from my dormitory to the Student Union for breakfast, when a pleasant middle-aged woman started chatting with me about the Boston area. After several minutes of gentle circumlocution that left me uncertain what she wanted, she revealed that she needed advice on where best to solicit donations ("panhandle"). I was so delighted that she had thought I was homeless and been such a pleasant companion on my walk, that I tried to take her out to breakfast (she was embarrassed despite my reassurances, so I brought her breakfast outside the Union).
The second experience was devastating. [Read more…]

Moral sensibility and Providence
I took my oldest camping last night for her daddy-daughter activity. We ended up in a canyon we didn't know long after dark, trying to find a place to camp. We finally found an official campground (packing had consisted of throwing random warm clothing and sleeping bags into an old duffle; I remembered a stove but forgot to bring any food), but couldn't find a tent spot amidst the endless rows of RVs. We ultimately found the camp host, who revealed to us that there was one tent spot that had just become available, and my daughter glowed with satisfaction at a prayer answered, as she revealed to me that she had prayed when we turned off the main road into the campground that we would find a spot. Her satisfaction turned to bemusement when we discovered that the only reason the spot became available was that the prior occupant had broken her wrist. [Read more…]
Real polygamist housewives
So last week when Judge Walker issued his decision overturning Prop. 8, one of my friends posted as her status update, "Is polygamy next?" I didn't know if she was being silly or sincere, but if any of you all are wondering the same thing, let me reassure you: No. Polygamy is not next. That's just something we conservatives make up to scare people. Ha ha, that was a joke (sort of). You know how I know polygamy isn't next? Because unlike attitudes toward homosexuals, attitudes toward polygamists haven't improved much in the last hundred years. Most people have at least one friend or someone in their family who is gay, but not many people know any polygamists. Also, when was the last time you saw a movie or TV show character with a sassy polygamist friend? Never, that's when. And you're not likely to start anytime soon. (Not until someone options my screenplay, that is.) [Read more…]
On second thought, never mind
Over the weekend I wrote a post responding to the court decision to overturn Prop. 8. It was very cathartic for me. I took everything that I'd ever thought or tried to write about same-sex marriage and distilled it to its essence, which was 1,841 words–long for a blog post, but most of my blog posts are (too) long, and when you consider the tens of thousands of words I had to work with, I'd call it a pretty awesome distillation. Of course, you will just have to take my word for it because once I had finished writing, I knew that I wouldn't publish it. [Read more…]
Monday Night Lived Mormonism Poll: R-rated Movie Spirituality Edition
Good, bad and so-bad-they're-awesome gospel analogies
Several years ago I had the pleasure of listening to a sacrament meeting talk given by a woman who happened to work for an opthamologist. In her address she described various diseases of the eye and likened them unto various "spiritual diseases" that can afflict an individual. For example, glaucoma damages the optic nerve and gradually leads to an irreversible loss of vision; the loss is so gradual that it often isn't perceived until the disease is in its advanced stages. Similarly, insidious influences can gradually damage our spiritual perceptions, and before we know it we have purchased a non-refundable, one-way ticket to hell. [Read more…]
Petitionary prayer: the monkey's paw of my faith
This morning was trash day in our neighborhood. Trash day is an important day in our household because my seven-year-old son is obsessed with garbage trucks. Actually, "obsessed" is putting it mildly, but suffice it to say that he gets up early every Wednesday so he can see the garbage truck come down our street and watch it empty the trash cans into its hopper. Sometimes he gets up at 3 a.m. just to be sure he doesn't miss it, but that's really beside the point. Today was trash day, and although my son woke up on time, the garbage truck was late.
Unfortunately, school is still in session here, and my son has to go to school regardless of whether or not he has seen the garbage truck yet. This is easier said than done, of course. If my son hasn't had his Wednesday morning garbage truck fix, he does not want to get on the school bus, and he will invoke the nuclear option. I had a lot of work to do this morning, including getting two of my other kids to their respective schools, so I was pretty stressed out and really didn't want to manage an autistic seven-year-old who'd been deprived of his garbage truck, so as the clock ticked ever nearer the scheduled bus-arrival time and the garbage truck still hadn't shown, I became ever more nervous. I really, really needed that garbage truck to get here fast. I didn't know what I'd do if it didn't. [Read more…]
Bloggernacle Classics: The Banner of Heaven Weblog
Welcome back, students of Bloggernacle History, to another entry in Bloggernacle Classics! It's been a few months since our last lesson, but I hope that you've kept your pencils sharp and your notebooks dust-free, because our next lesson is a whopper.
Every community, no matter the size or location, has some common features and characteristics–it has heroes, villains, successes, and failures. Every community also has it's dark secrets. Mind you, I'm not talking about simple rumors that get passed around the hair salon or ghost stories used to scare little kids into behaving properly–I'm talking about the sort of thing that no one ever talks about. Ever. Anyone who enters the community after such a secret is buried will possibly see passing references to it here and there, but vagueness and confusion surround them, because again, no one will talk about these dark secrets. Naturally, the unwillingness of the locals to talk about these community secrets serves only to make them even more a point of curiosity and intrigue to newcomers, and unless you've got the Sheriff on your side, eventually the curiosity will win out and the skeletons will be dragged out of the closet by force.

Growing Up On The Blogs
BCC is thrilled to welcome Sunny Smart as our newest guest blogger. If there's one thing Sunny wants you to know about her it's that she peed her pants while horseback riding. She was 17 at the time. If there's anything you should know about horseback riding it's that urine eats the color right off a saddle. If there's a social tip Sunny can give you it's that you shouldn't pee on someone else's saddle. Lesson learned.

The 2009 BCC Mutual Admiration Society
As our Fearless Leader once said,
It is January, and with it the season of review and reminiscence is upon us. How to combine BCC's two great loves: lording our elitism over others, and blogging? Why, by gratuitously congratulating ourselves for a year of outstanding blogging. Read on, weaklings.
In that spirit, beloved readers, esteemed friends, civic and educational leaders, and officials from the Church Office Building, we salute ourselves this day. We now instruct you to pull up a chair, pour yourself a mug of Postum, and print out copies of this post for your personal Book of Remembrance as we pat ourselves on the back for the remainder of the day.
You are welcome and encouraged to join in the praise.
