175 Years of Relief Society
Uchtdorf at the Women's Session: Something for Everyone #ldsconf
Pres. Uchtdorf, aka the "Silver Fox" as he is known in my ward and probably everywhere else, hit yet another home run in the Women's Session, batting clean up for the three female speakers. He opens with:
Today, I too have a story to share. I invite you to listen with the Spirit. The Holy Ghost will help you to find the message for you in this parable.
He shares the story of an 11 year old girl named Eva who did not want to go to live with her Great-Aunt Rose. [Read more…]
Zina D. H. Young
Along with her close friend (and sister wife twice over) Eliza R. Snow, Zina D. H. Young was part of the power duo of Mormon women in the second half of the nineteenth century. Popular wisdom held that Eliza was the head and Zina the heart, complementing each other as they traveled indefatigably around Utah (and beyond) to do the work of the Relief Society. (Picture two women in their late 50s, traveling alone through the deserts of Utah, camping together under the stars when they didn't manage to reach a settlement.) [Read more…]

How to "know Brother Joseph again" using the First Vision
[Another part of my ongoing "Tips for Teachers" series. See the associated links here.]
My friend's ward has an interesting Elder's Quorum lesson schedule and I'm not sure how wide-spread it is in other wards. It goes like this:
1st Sunday: EQ Presidency Message
2 & 3rd: PH/RS manual
4th: "Teachings for our Times" (usually a conference address)
5th: Bishopric message
Emmeline B. Wells
With this post, the MLP inaugurates something we've been meaning to do for a while: use the lectionary format to celebrate specific LDS figures. In the spirit of the 1978 First Presidency statement noting the contributions made by non-LDS religious leaders and philosophers to the spread of light and truth, we'll also be expanding the series to honor a broad spectrum of people who have contributed to the advancement of the human family from a smaller capacity to a greater one. We're also increasing the amount of LDS scripture in each post, to include selections from the Small Plates, the abridgments of Mormon and Moroni, and the Doctrine and Covenants or Pearl of Great Price.
Emmeline B. Wells
Ruth 1:8-18, 2:4-17 (NRSV); Psalm 119:41-48 (1662 BCP); Luke 18:1-8 (NRSV); 2 Cor. 8:1-9 (NRSV); 2 Ne. 25:21-23; Ether 12:23-28; D&C 88:117-26
The Collect: O God, thou who givest us both daily bread and holy light to feed our minds and spirits, grant that we, like thy servant Emmeline B. Wells, may, through the grace of thy Son, Jesus Christ, write, teach, serve, and lead, that our sisters and brothers might forever be established in the strength of thy Holy Spirit. Amen.
Many Are Chosen, But Few Are Called
In a well publicized pre-emptive move, the church issued a statement last week that women seeking tickets to the April 5 Priesthood session would be relegated to the "free speech zone," traditionally the purview of anti-Mormon protesters. Kate Kelly, founder of the group Ordain Women, was characteristically gracious in her reply. From the article:
"We are disappointed that we weren't granted tickets," says Kate Kelly, one of the founders of Ordain Women. "But it is a positive step that public affairs is responding to us, indicating that one day maybe the higher authorities will be able to hear our concerns." [Read more…]
Plan of Salvation: Shark Edition
As I was reading chapter 3 the Joseph Fielding Smith manual for tomorrow, I came across the awesomest sentence fragment I have ever read in a Teachings of the Prophet manual. It also happens to be the awesomest example ever used to explain resurrection. As he describes the universality of the resurrection, Pres. Smith writes:
Every fundamental part of every body will be restored to its proper place again in the resurrection, no matter what may become of the body in death. If it be burned by fire, eaten by sharks, no matter what. Every fundamental part of it will be restored to its own proper place. [Emphasis added.] [Read more…]
Mormon Marriage Equality
Are Mormon marriages more equal or less equal than other marriages? Do Mormon women feel that they are taken seriously and treated as equals by their husbands? Are they encouraged to follow their dreams? Do they find their work (whether at home or in the workplace) meaningful and rewarding? In the give and take of marriage, are men and women giving and taking fairly?
I recently finished reading Sheryl Sandberg's book Lean In. In the book, she talks about several things we can do to help women achieve their potential and to help men and women feel more equal and personally satisfied, within their personal lives and in the workplace. This list includes things like: [Read more…]
A new (but actually old) list of suggestions for increasing opportunity for women and girls in the Church
Quiz time!
When was the following suggested?
"Within the Church, changes in four key areas would create increased opportunity for women and girls:
1. Improve women's access to decision-making forums.
—Examine meetings from which women presently are excluded. If women were to contribute, would it help the decision-making process? If so, open such meetings to women's auxiliary heads or other relevant women leaders at the ward, stake and general levels of the Church.
—Within the corporate offices of the Church, employ more women in a greater variety of positions.
—Develop and emphasis leadership training skills for women so that they can more effectively participate in meetings.
2. Increase access to ward callings and duties. Several ward callings and offices have evolved into priesthood callings. Such callings should be reevaluated to determine if priesthood is a necessary prerequisite. Where it is not, women should serve in those offices equally with men. [Read more…]

Review: Joanna Brooks, "The Book of Mormon Girl: Stories From an American Faith"
Title: The Book of Mormon Girl: Stories From an American Faith
Author: Joanna Brooks
Publisher: Self published (but not for long…)
Genre: Memoir
Year: 2012
Pages: 204
Binding: Paperback
Price: $11.99
Rumor has it Joanna Brooks's self-published memoir, The Book of Mormon Girl has been picked up by Free Press/Simon & Schuster for national publication this August with an expanded chapter-and-a-half. We've seen a lot of chatter about her book online recently, so I thought I'd venture a review. I hope you'll excuse my decision to kick things off with an observation based on personal experience. (The Book of Mormon Girl is, after all, a personal memoir!) My own undergraduate years were spent writing and editing articles for a variety of small Utah newspapers. I remember how daunting it felt to be assigned an article on a subject I knew next-to-nothing about, like computer animation, mechanical engineering, or say, feminism. Oh, how comforting to a journalist is that friendly, articulate insider willing to endure the inane questions of—and likely later misrepresentation by—the stammering cub reporter! [Read more…]
Some random thoughts about Relief Society
Last month I was visiting my father's ward and happened to notice a blurb in the ward bulletin about the upcoming Relief Society birthday. It gave a (very) brief history of Relief Society's origins followed by an invitation for the ladies in the ward to attend a "Hats Off to Relief Society!" tea in honor of the organization's anniversary. (By coincidence, my own ward was planning a hat-themed tea party for the Relief Society's birthday. Or maybe it wasn't a coincidence. Maybe there's a church-wide conspiracy to get Mormon women to wear more hats. I had intended to do more research on the subject, but the project has since fallen by the wayside, I'm afraid. Anyway.)
The reason I found this blurb noteworthy was that the heading for it read "Separate But Not Equal." What was the author trying to say? It's like they had just enough knowledge of history to know that they didn't want to compare the formation of Relief Society to Plessy v. Ferguson, but couldn't quite bring themselves to let go of the segregation theme. (That would have made for an interesting tea party, wouldn't it? Probably better that they went with the hat thing.)
Anyway, it was a head shaker. Part of me was tempted to imagine the bulletin being written by some subversive person wanting to draw attention to the gender inequality in Mormonism, but I know that it was probably just somebody not really thinking about what they were doing. Now I'm using it as a mildly amusing anecdote to introduce a not-particularly-coherent post about Relief Society. [Read more…]

Laurel Thatcher Ulrich lecture: "Stirring up LDS History" Live Blog
Updated to now include video of the lecture.
Sponsored by Sunstone and Friends of the Marriott Library at the University of Utah
Relief Society sisters now have a new resource—a compact history of the Relief Society called Daughters of My Kingdom. The new manual, which is to be used from time to time for lessons given the first Sunday of each month, is not only unusual for its focus on women but for its chronological organization. Most Church manuals are organized thematically, offering little scope for discussing change over time. Despite its uplifting narrative, this manual may require a new set of skills. As teachers of women's history know, you can't just "add women and stir."
Laurel Thatcher Ulrich taught her first Relief Society lesson more than fifty years ago, when she was an undergraduate attending a student ward at the University of Utah. She began teaching women's history at the college level in 1975 when she was a graduate student at the University of New Hampshire. She is the author of many books and articles on early American history and women's history and is now completing her first book-length work in Mormon history, "A House Full of Females: Family and Faith in Nineteenth-century Mormon Diaries." She is 300th Anniversary University Professor at Harvard University.

Resource Constraints & Shifts In Religious Behavior Patterns
The recent issue of BYU Studies contains a paper written by my co-blogger Jonathan Stapley regarding the Relief Society's burial services the early 1900's. The paper addresses a decline in Relief Society burial preparations, and largely attributes this decline to the Relief Society's inability to compete with professional burial service providers. I think this is reasonable, but found it somewhat incomplete when I looked at the data. In particular, I was curious about the speed of the decline in burial preparations over time, and wondered if there might be more to the story than an inability to provide equally good burial services. In any case, it seemed like an excellent opportunity for rampant speculation. [Read more…]
Church-Hacker #7: The End Time
This week's Church-Hacker was submitted by BCC reader Raymond, and should immediately be instituted in every ward throughout the church.
Why is it acceptable to go over the allotted time in meetings, but taboo to end early? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
It kills me whenever I see a teacher nervously look at the clock wondering how to "fill" more time. Just stop. No one will complain if we finish early. Another recurring problem is teachers who can't stop until they get through their material. We appreciate the effort you put into preparing your lesson, but we'd appreciate it even more if you stopped on time. I tune out the teacher as soon as it's time to leave anyway.
Church-Hacker #4: The Fifth-Sunday Swap
This week's Church-Hacker idea comes from BCC reader Chris Gordon:
We make it a tradition on 5th Sundays to swap presidencies in Elders Quorum/Relief Society. The RS president comes to priesthood to teach and vice versa.
The focus is generally on something family-oriented, but it's been fun and enlightening. The best, though, was in an early iteration when it was done in lieu of a first Sunday presidency message. The visiting rep from the RS wrapped up with 10 minutes to spare for testimony time. The class enjoyed 10 minutes of crickets chirping as the brethren stared blankly at this development.
Think your ward could benefit from this leadership swap? Already doing it? Enlighten us with a comment.

Easing the transition from Young Women to Relief Society
So I understand we have a problem retaining our young adults, who tend to go inactive once they leave the youth program and transition to being adults in the church. The good news is that I don't think we are any worse off than typical Christian churches; for all I know, we could be better off. (Somebody who has read a study should tell me.) The bad news is that I'm not sure there's much we can really do about this problem. I've observed a lot of conversations about this issue, and of all the explanations that are given for why our young adults stop going to church, the one that seems to get mentioned least often is the one that is the obvious, most-likely culprit: young adults, at least the ones who are not living at home and don't have parents to force them to go to church, would much rather sleep in and do whatever the heck they want on Sunday than go to church. I mean, who wouldn't? Have you ever skipped church before? It's kind of awesome. It's like having another Saturday, one even freer of obligation. (I have noticed that Sunday is the one day of the week my non-church-going friends and acquaintances always have available. Always.) [Read more…]
Spiritual History
General Relief Society President recently said at Women's Conference in regards to the upcoming manual on the history of the Relief Society, "There are some things that have come out in that preparation that have delineated some themes for learning. It's not so important to have a linear history in the Church, but it is important to know our spiritual heritage and history, what themes emerge in that spiritual heritage, and what the Lord wants us to accomplish."
Is it possible to have a grasp on spiritual history without the context of linear history?
We arrived late to church on Sunday. So instead of entering the chapel, the three of us remained in the foyer during Sacrament meeting. As my wife prepared her Relief Society lesson on the couch, I sat with my 4-year-old daughter, Annika, on a table against the wall. To our left, enclosed behind a protective glass case, hung a large wooden plaque with pictures of almost all the past Relief Society presidents in chronological order of service: Emma Smith thru Mary Ellen Smoot.
Annika: "Dad?"
Me: "Yes."
Annika: "What is this?"
Me: "It's all the past Presidents of the Relief Society. That's the class that Mom goes to while you're in Primary."
Annika: "How come there are only girls in the pictures?"
Me: "Because only girls can be President of the Relief Society."
Annika (after a short pause): "I don't think it's fair to the boys that they can't be in the pictures!"
Me: "Indeed."
Do We Still Teach Homemaking?
The title of this post isn't a snark; it's an open question, about which I am genuinely curious. (I'm also giving a presentation on this topic next week at the Midwest Sunstone/Restoration Studies conference, so my ulterior motive is a fishing expedition for anecdotes from the Collected Saints of the Bloggernacle.)

If there is one financial planning goal that sneaks up on more people, it's paying for a college education. More often than not, many parents don't begin thinking about the costs or required savings until their children are getting into the pre-teen years. Of course, that doesn't leave much time to scrape together the necessary funds.
But all hope is not lost. Even parents with 1-2 years until their child ships off to college can still make a sizable dent in their future tuition bill.
Here's a list of the best college savings tips that have proven themselves time and again for panicked parents.
Consider Prepaid Tuition Plans
One of the biggest frustrations for parents with little time to save is the pitiful returns earned on most short-term investments. In lower interest rate environments, it is not uncommon to see parents only earning 1-2 percent on nest eggs that they can't afford to scramble by investing in the unpredictable stock market.
Many state and college prepaid tuition plans offer a great alternative to standard fixed-rate accounts since these plans essentially grow your money at the rate that tuition rises. Since college tuition has historically inflated at a rate of 4-6 percent annually, this offers a very attractive alternative to the 1-2 percent some money market and CD accounts are paying. To sweeten the deal, some states even give parents a tax deduction or credit for contributing to these plans.
Ask for Section 529 Gifts
If there is anyone in your child's life who likes to spoil them, consider asking them to contribute to your child's college fund instead of the local toy store. By redirecting their generosity into an existing Section 529 account for your child, they're giving a gift that truly keeps on giving.
To encourage this, most states' Section 529 plans are set up to allow people other than parents to contribute to an account opened and controlled by a parent.
Of course, giving to a child's college fund can be as rewarding for the donor as it is for your child. Many of the states that permit tax deductions for funding a college account permit a person to take the deduction even if it is not their own child. Further, the IRS allows individuals to gift up to $13,000 per year to each donor (known as the "annual gift limit"), which is a great way for wealthy grandparents to slowly reduce their eventual estate tax burden.
Get Onboard With UPromise
When it comes to paying for college, there are few free lunches. Thankfully, UPromise offers a buffet of free financial help by rewarding parents and students when they shop at participating retailers.
Under the free program, major retailers deposit a portion of what you spend to a college account for your child. The service does not cost anything out of pocket or raise the price of your purchases.
It is simply the businesses' way of trying to entice you to choose them versus their competitors.
Sweetening the deal is the fact that you can send invitations from your UPromise account for friends and family to register their credit and debit cards as well. Then, every time they shop, your child receives additional contributions.
Re-evaluate Your Life Insurance
While a lot of life insurance agents would argue otherwise, cash value (whole life) insurance is generally a bad deal compared to term insurance. Many parents are spending thousands more than they need to on coverage that could be purchased at a much lower cost. If you own such a policy, consider talking to a fee-based Certified Financial Planner (prior to canceling your policy), about whether or not this makes financial sense for your family. Doing so may free up substantial funds that can be re-directed into a college savings plan.
Whatever you do, unless you're over age 59 1/2, don't use a life insurance policy as a short-term savings vehicle for college. While some agents might try and tell you otherwise, these are very costly savings vehicles whose benefits don't come close to matching other options such as Section 529 plans.
Get an Extra Two Years
More and more parents are ditching the notion that a four-year college is the best choice for a young adult. The "college experience," while no doubt fun for many 18- to 19-year-olds, often ends up being nothing more than an extension of the "high school experience," minus the adult supervision.
Considering that the vast majority of classes taken in those first two years can also be taken at your local community college at a fraction of the cost, as well as the fact that your child is more likely to pass them sleeping in their own bed than on the kitchen table of a frat house, community college is worth a look. By having your child knock off their general education requirements at home, you'll give yourself an extra two years to save, while possibly also saving their GPA.
As an added bonus, you can "encourage" them to get a part-time job and help contribute to the costs of their degree. Few things will encourage a student to take those final two years of college seriously like the realization that it's their own money they'd be wasting.

Oh my gosh! Yes! Guess who finally remembered how to use a computer and update!? Yes. It has literally taken me this long to get my butt into gear and get my laptop fixed and write a new chapter for you guys.
It's amazing! All of you have kept on reviewing and PM-ing and subscribing and everything, even though I haven't updated in forever! Shows how awesome some people are! (You know who you are…)
Wow. Okay, so here is a chapter I have been writing in random bits and pieces for about four months. It probably doesn't make sense, but, well, I tried. I have had everything, and I mean everything in the world going on in previous months, (Christmas, exams, birthdays, flooding, bushfires, babies, everything!) and to be honest, updating wasn't my main priority, and it has only settled down enough now for me to be able to update properly. I could have chucked up some half butted chapters, but I would have hated myself for doing that.
So here is, a full, completed chapter, that I am proud to say I managed to write! I really, really hope you enjoy it!
Disclaimer: I don't own BTR, obviously. If I did, the boys would have died from neglect by now, don't you think?
If there was one thing that Carlos hated more than being lonely, it was being sick. He had known he was sick, or at least going to get sick, all day, and he hadn't been happy about it. So when he woke up, on the couch, choking on a thermometer, he was more than unhappy. He was positively miserable. He folded his arms grumpily and spat the thermometer across the room, hearing a satisfying clunk on the hardwood floor. He heard stomping footsteps and winced. He knew he was in trouble, lots of trouble. That was the problem with Carlos. He was always in trouble. He didn't think about things. He just did what he felt, and that often, if not always, resulted in him getting himself into trouble. This was one of those occasions.
"Carlos!" Mrs. Knight tutted. He shrunk down under the thick blanket that was covering him. He was sick. He didn't want to be yelled at. He buried his head beneath the covers, in some way hoping that Mrs. Knight would forget he was there, and he would avoid a stern scolding. He could feel her glare burning through the covers. He heard her stomp away, before stomping back past him. He peeked out from his underneath his blanket, to see Mrs. Knight rinsing the thermometer under the tap. Carlos wondered what the point was. He already had the plague, what was the point in getting rid of the other germs. He couldn't possibly become sicker than he already was. Mrs. Knight padded silently back to the couch, grasping Carlos' chin and poking the thermometer underneath his tongue, silently warning him with "the look", before walking to the bathroom. Carlos heard her messing around in the medicine cabinet. He groaned. He hated having his temperature taken. As if being sick wasn't bad enough, now he had something stabbing him on the inside of his mouth. Great.
Mrs. Knight returned, with a glass of water, which was fizzing. Carlos knew what that meant.
Soluble aspirin.
Disgusting, vomit inducing soluble aspirin.
Carlos was never one who could swallow pills. Whenever he got sick, he always opted for the "liquid kind" of drugs. Preferably bubblegum flavored. But once he reached a certain age, doctors told him that it was no longer an option. They basically told him,
"That stuff is for kids. You're a big boy now," and handed him a blister pack of whatever pill it was that he needed to feel better.
Well, wasn't it an effort to get him to take them? Firstly, he had insisted that he wasn't too old to take the liquid kind, and had pleaded with Logan to talk to his "doctor friends" (who exactly they were, nobody ever knew) and get them to prescribe him some. When that didn't work, for the reasons that
a) Carlos was definitely too old for bubblegum flavored medicine, and
b) Logan hadn't a clue who these "doctor friends" were
he kicked and screamed until he didn't have a voice, and James and Kendall were holding down his flailing limbs, as Logan forcefully shoved a pill down his throat.
Yep. That didn't end well.
The trouble was, Carlos could literally not swallow pills, of any sort. This confused everybody, as he managed to be able to swallow all of his food whole, at any given time. Unless it was that time where his sandwich happened to have a pill hidden in it. He had once swallowed four marbles no trouble, which required a trip to the ER to remove, but one tiny pill made him cough and gag until he promptly threw up on Logan's hand.
The only way he could manage to keep one, tiny pill down, was with about four cookies. So every time Carlos required any kind of pill, or antibiotic course, it was off to the store for fifteen boxes of cookies, which would undoubtedly cause him to be hyperactive and kind of ruin the effects of the medication anyway.
They usually tried to avoid him having to take medication of any sort, but when necessary, they tried to find whatever he needed in liquid or soluble form. It wasn't easy to find, and would usually result in Logan driving all over town to find it, but whatever it took.
This wasn't much better for Carlos, as it took a lot longer to take, and tasted horrible, but anything was better than pills for him, even if it wasn't much better. There was still a lot of gagging involved, but he could at least keep it down.
He took the thermometer out of his mouth. Mrs. Knight read it and frowned, walking away silently. Carlos studied the glass, the floating white specks disgusting him more than he already had been at the sight of it. He decided to just attack it and swallow it.
He tried to knock it back like a shot. That didn't work, as he suspected it wouldn't, as it was a full sized glass, and not a shot glass, and he ended up drooling it all over himself. Mrs. Knight rolled her eyes and took the glass from him, walking it to the sink and taking him some paper towel. He mopped himself up, grinning at her. She cracked a false smile. She was in a strange mood. He could understand why. Taking care of four sick boys could definitely take its toll on somebody, especially when those boys were hard to manage as it was.
Carlos was feeling terrible. Maybe if he had have tried harder, he wouldn't have gotten sick, and he could at least help Mrs. Knight out a little, you know, he could have taken care of the boys, or run some errands, or even just kept out of her hair. But now she had one extra person to care for. Carlos watched Mrs. Knight walk over to him, and he gazed up at her with his large, chocolate eyes.
"I'm sorry." He coughed. She glanced down at him, touching his forehead.
"For what?" she asked bitterly. Carlos flinched at her tone.
"For… you know, getting all sick and stuff… maybe if I hadn't have gotten sick then you wouldn't be so tired and you'd feel better." He whimpered. Mrs. Knights face softened, and she sat beside Carlos' legs, rubbing circles on his back gently.
"No, no sweetie, it isn't your fault at all. Oh I'm so sorry. You poor thing. It isn't your fault that I'm tired and it certainly isn't your fault that you're sick. I'm fine, I was just up all night last night, and all day too." She said. He frowned.
"Why don't you take a nap. I'm going to." He offered. She mulled it over for a second, all her mothering instincts going out the window as she accepted.
"Yeah. You know what, I think I will." She said, sitting down on the other side of the L shaped sofa. Carlos tossed her a pillow, and she curled up, asleep in seconds. Carlos rolled over to face the back of the couch, drifting off.
There was peace, as everyone in the apartment slept. Not a noise could be heard, except for the faint snores and creaking of bedsprings from the four band mates.
The peace was short lived, however, as Carlos woke up with a terrible stomach ache. He managed to prop himself up into a sitting position, clutching his aching stomach. He doubled over, as a surge of nausea hit him like a train. He groaned and nudged Mrs. Knight with his foot, in hopes she would wake up and take notice that he wasn't feeling good, and, well, Carlos didn't know exactly what would happen after that; but maybe she would be able to fix it. She was good at fixing it when he was hurt, or hungry, so maybe it would be the same when he was sick.
But, Mrs. Knight hadn't slept for quite some time, and her body had completely shut off. She wouldn't wake, no matter how much foot nudging Carlos tried. He whimpered as he tasted acid in the back of his throat. He leapt up from his curled position on the couch and dashed through the kitchen, bursting through the bathroom door and, collapsing on the tile next to the toilet.
He lifted the lid and retched. He was cold. Why did he feel so cold? He began shaking, and gagging. He heard somebody padding towards the bathroom. Thank goodness.
Carlos always hated throwing up. Nobody liked it, he supposed. He hated getting sick, full stop, but going through it alone wasn't something he wanted to do. He began to cry, gagging over the toilet, as he heard footsteps entering the bathroom. He heard a scratchy voice whisper
"Carlos?" and a dry cough, followed by a sniff. He looked around, and through teary eyes, he saw a short, raven haired boy, clutching a blanket. He wanted to say something, but his stomach stopped him, as he turned back to the toilet and retched.
Logan knelt beside him. He was shocked to see Carlos so poorly.
"Carlos is sick now? What? When did Carlos get sick? Is James okay? Oh god. Why did I have to get sick? This is all my fault…" Logan muttered. He unfolded the blanket, placing it over Carlos' shaking shoulders, smoothing it over his back. Carlos whimpered gratefully.
"It's okay buddy." Logan whispered, rubbing circles on his back. Carlos retched again. Logan reached around and placed his hand on Carlos' forehead, wincing at the heat. He firmly pressed and held his hand there, supporting under his head, so that he didn't hit it on anything. He had noticed that Carlos was retching particularly violently, and he didn't want him to hurt himself any more than he already probably was. He continued rubbing circles on his back, through the blanket, with his other hand.
"Come on 'Litos. Just let it come up. You'll feel better." Logan whispered. Carlos retched one last time, and vomited violently into the toilet. Logan grimaced, doing his best to keep everything down himself. He would have liked to have left right then, Carlos being sick causing him to feel worse, but he couldn't leave his friend. He knew Carlos was grateful for him, and he wanted to be there for him.
Carlos vomited again, resting over the toilet for a moment, before dropping back against the bathtub. He gazed up at Logan, his eyes glassy with a fever. Logan removed his hand for Carlos' forehead, frowning and turning on his knees to retrieve a washcloth. He dampened it, and helped his friend get cleaned up.
"You alright, Carlos?" he asked. Carlos nodded weakly.
"I… think so…" he whispered.
"Oh 'Litos." Logan sighed. He pulled him into a hug, rubbing his back. He heard Carlos whimper, and let go. He stared at him, a thousand things running through his mind. Why was Carlos sick? Carlos barely ever got sick? Why did he have to get Carlos sick? He got everyone sick. Was James sick? Was everyone going to be okay? Oh, this was all his fault, he thought. He displayed his concern with a simple forehead touch, sighing in distress at the warmth of Carlos' forehead.
He was stressing out about everyone now. It wasn't enough that he should be sick, now they were all sick, and it was all Logan's fault. He was the one that was supposed to keep his friends safe and take care of them, and now he had gone and gotten them all sick. He frowned at Carlos, touching his forehead again.
"You done buddy?" Logan asked. Carlos shook his head, wrapping his arms around his aching stomach and whimpering, shaking.
"My tummy hurts, Logie." Carlos whispered.
"I know it does buddy." Logan sighed, leaning back against the bathtub beside Carlos, wrapping his arm around him. Carlos shook violently, leaning back over the toilet and coughing. Logan raised himself to his knees, wriggling over to where Carlos was, rubbing his back.
All that either of them wanted to do was fall asleep, but while Carlos was vomiting, he couldn't, and Logan definitely wasn't going to leave him. He would sit in that bathroom with him, all day and all night; whatever it took to make sure he was alright.
Well, did it make sense? Did you enjoy it? Am I asking random questions again? Yes. Yes I am.
I really, really hoped you enjoyed that chapter. I tried really hard to pick up where I left off, even though I basically had to read the entire story again to figure out what I was meant to be writing about. I didn't realize how much I had actually written! Wow, I amaze myself sometimes. Wow, that sounded conceited.
I am devastated to announce, that I will have to end this story soon. It's getting super long and hard to write, and I love this story so much I don't want to part with it! It's definitely my favorite thing I have ever written, and also, I suck at endings! Like, absolutely suck. Most of my other fics just, don't end because I can't be bothered thinking up and ending…
But anyway, yes, a few more chapters and this story will be done with… NOO! But don't worry. I will be writing new stories, taking BTR requests and generally keeping more up to date in the future. I hope.
Thank you too all my lovely reviewers and the people I have become friends with over the time this story has run! Also, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Australia Day, and for everyone this year, Happy Birthday!
Please let me know how I did with a review! All are appreciated and it will probably motivate me to update sooner if I get some ideas on future chapters, stories, or especially any ending ideas.

Kerrigan's play successfully demonstrates how the little people of history can and do make a difference, even when momentous happenings are unravelling around them. At its heart is Sean's basic generosity of spirit, clearly evident in Conor Maguire's carefully considered performance. Maguire also effectively suggests Sean's underlying complexity: he is haunted by the memory of a friend shot dead on Bloody Sunday, and restless in his relationship with the long-suffering Gene, who palpably adores him.

White House Responds to Extraterrestrial Cover-Up
White House Official Response: Aliens
Back to:
The United States Government Denies Knowing About or Covering Up Information About UFOs
Officially in 2011, the White House flatly
stated that the United States government
has no idea if there are such things as
extraterrestrial life forms. The official
decree is actually a response to two
online petitions that had more than
17,000 signatures, requesting the
government acknowledge that is knows
there is alien contact with the human race.
The petitions also demanded that the
U.S. Government disclose all knowledge
and communications with alien life forms.
The alien-UFO cover-up petitions went
viral after the White House initiative
called, "We the People" was launched.
In September, the Obama administration agreed to respond to all petitions within 30 days that
have at least 25,000 signatures upon. But who would have thought that petitions claiming the
United States has covered up UFOs and alien contact would spark a quick response? Here's
the official word from our government on UFO contact and extraterrestrial communication:
"The U.S. government has no evidence
that any life exists outside our planet, or
that an extraterrestrial presence has
contacted or engaged any member of
the human race. ...there is no credible
information to suggest that any
evidence is being hidden from the
public's eye."

Science and Technology Policy

Australia?s independent crash safety body, the Australian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP), has called for the global fitment of all possible safety equipment ? but it makes an exception for the upcoming new VF Commodore.
The call comes after the controversial crash test authority awarded the Fiat Freemont people mover a four-star rating because it misses out on the active bonnet that is available in Europe.
However, ANCAP?s chief executive officer, Nicholas Clarke says the crucial new VF Commodore ?doesn?t need? the additional knee airbag that will be fitted to the Commodores being exported to the US where they will be sold as the Chevrolet SS.
Clarke said he is ?dismayed? at some manufacturers choosing to delete available safety equipment for Australian models in place of comfort features or to achieve more competitive showroom prices.
?Safety should be the top priority when specifying vehicles for Australian customers, not leather seats and alloy wheels,? he told Drive.
?We need the same maximum level of vehicle safety technologies offered in all countries. We?re all equal, we should save lives equally ? here in Europe, America, in Asia; right across the world.
?There is no reason why all manufacturers can?t build and sell the same vehicles to all.?
Clarke said he is ?excited? about the safety technology that Holden has invested in with the VF Commodore, which will include high-tech features such as forward collision and lane departure warnings and blind spot indicators on high-end models while a reverse camera will be standard on all variants.
Yet, he claims the additional knee airbag fitted to the Chevrolet SS is not required for the Commodore to achieve an expected five-star ANCAP crash rating, despite similar airbags being fitted to many new cars.
?The testing requirements in the US are slightly different to Australia,? he said, suggesting they are important in the US as some states still don?t mandate the use of seatbelts.
?We?re very excited about the VF [Commodore] and we expect it will be a big step forward for Australian-produced cars in terms of the safety equipment that is being offered.
?But it simply didn?t need a knee bag.?
When asked by Drive if that contradicted his earlier statement calling for maximum safety features, Clarke replied; ?If the knee bag is not required, then it?s not required.?
In addition to announcing the Fiat Freemont?s four-star rating, ANCAP also revealed the Holden Malibu mid-sized sedan, which is due to hit showrooms next month, achieved a five-star score.
Clarke has also responded to the ANCAP rating loophole that, as Drive reported earlier this week, has allowed the Renault Captur small SUV to achieve a five-star score despite only being fitted with dual front and side airbags, and not curtain airbags that could potentially prevent serious injury to rear-seat occupants.
Volkswagen is another that doesn?t fit potentially life-saving curtain airbags in the rear seats of some of its most popular models (including the Up, Beetle and Amarok).
Clarke says ANCAP will introduce a more stringent point score for vehicles sold in Australia from next year and will automatically downgrade models without curtain airbags to a four-star rating.
?[Curtain airbags] will be a mandatory part of our rating from next year,? Clarke said.
?The Renault Captur can?t get a five-star [ANCAP] rating if it goes on sale here in 2014.?
Clarke also confirmed ANCAP will introduce more rigorous rear-occupant testing for dual-cab utilities from next year. Currently this class of vehicle, which is increasingly becoming a more popular form of family transport, is exempt from fitting child seats with a top tether strap.
?Currently, this isn?t an ADR [Australian design rule] requirement,? he said.
?But we will be making it a mandatory requirement for light commercial vehicles as part of our rating process from next year.?

The fed itself is its own primary bond holder
The fed owns 43% of its own bonds, they inject this money that they have borrowed from themselves back in to the market. If the market takes a down turn and the fed fails to make a profit by the time these bonds mature, the value of the dollar will collapse in on itself.
That 77 billion the fed made last year barely got them by.
To put it very simply, it's like using one credit card to pay off another credit card. That's fine till you miss one payment then the whole thing collapses quickly.
In 2007 the fed held just 4% of its own bonds.
In 2010 the fed only owned 24% of its own bonds; this is how quickly it has gotten out of control.
Foreign banks are just waiting for our market to collapse so they can buy in cheap!
We are caught in what is known as a "
third world debt trap
" now that foreign governments will not buy our bonds, we have to leverage our selves, and like I said the second the market doesn't have a return its over!
The Fed doesn't issue bonds, the US Treasury does and the Fed buys them. Interest paid to the Fed gets returned to the Treasury.
Anonymous Coward 3586871
Fed has bought $1.6 trillion in bonds with QE &QE2 due to the fact no one else would buy the debt. The Debt brought on By QE & QE2 is part of the debt ceiling it, does exist. The bonds held by the Fed are literally money that the government owes to itself.
like I said in 2007 the fed owned less then 4% of the bonds, today they hold 43% of all issued bonds.
Everything changed in 2008, hard to find any link at all that I like on the subject, this one is ok.
Article:The Fed can issue non-interest bearing debt now. This is the Federal Reserve notes that we use as a medium of exchange. When the Fed buys things like Treasury bills, commercial paper, junk bonds, stocks, or many other securities, it pays by creating reserves for banks that can be cashed out, if desired, as Federal Reserve notes. The Fed has created a ton of potentially inflationary reserves lately. It is paying interest on these reserves in order to "sterilize" them, that is, prevent them from being cashed out and from being used to make an excessive amount of new loans. It's trying to save the banking system without causing inflation. It appears that the proposal to issue interest-bearing debt is a variation on this scheme.
The basic scheme that is now in place is that the Fed wishes to support security markets that are under pressure. It buys mortgage obligations, for example. The sellers deposit their checks. The Fed clears them by crediting the reserve account of the member banks making the deposits. Ordinarily, as the bank lends, the multiplicative effect of fractional-reserve banking kicks in. The money supply rises. At present, the Fed is trying to short-circuit that process by paying interest on the reserves. Their success at this manipulation will end when the banks start making loans that pay interest higher than what the Fed is offering. At that point the Fed will have to sell loans so as to drain reserves from the system, if it wishes to stem inflation. The Fed will be reluctant to do this. It has fewer Treasury bills than it used to. Its loans are too illiquid to sell. The Fed must overcome this problem or risk much higher inflation.
Enter the new scheme. The Fed issues interest-bearing debt. Whoever buys this, whether an investor or a bank, they pay with a check. When it clears, some bank's reserves decline. This absorbs reserves and/or cash from the system. The banks, for example, use their reserves to buy the Fed's debt. It carries a higher interest rate than what the Fed pays on the short-term reserve accounts. This deters the banking system from using all those reserves in an inflationary manner. In short, the Fed is re-financing the liability side of its balance sheet.
It is converting short-term debt (bank reserves) into long-term debt (its own bonds
.) By funding its troubled assets with long-term debt, the Fed signals that it intends to hold these assets for a long time. It is now thinking about funding these long-term assets with long-term debt.
The banking system is being induced to convert short-term liquid reserves into long-term Federal Reserve bonds.
The big picture here is something like this. The banking system has a lot of lousy loans on its books. It didn't mark them all down or fully because that would reveal that many banks are insolvent. They would need to be re-organized. The insolvent banks didn't want this done. The Fed rode to the rescue by exchanging its good securities for bad loans from the banks — some of them, not all. Meanwhile, bad loans began to crop up elsewhere in the system. The Fed took on some of those too. In the process, it has created far too high a level of bank reserves, a level that is highly inflationary if put to work making new loans.
By issuing long-term debt, the Fed would complete the process it began. The banks would now have as assets the better securities the Fed loaned them plus they would have Federal Reserve bonds.
As for the Fed, its balance sheet would now carry as assets many troubled loans that the banks once held. On the liability side, the Fed would have issued its own bonds. Its financial leverage would have increased dramatically even as its asset quality decreased dramatically. Some of the shakiness of the banking system would be transported into shakiness of the Fed as a bank.
This would not resolve all the problems because the total amount of shaky debt in the system, in the U.S. and worldwide, is so great that the Fed can absorb only a small fraction of it.
An interesting thing to wonder about is the risk of the Fed's bonds. The riskiness of liabilities derives from the riskiness of assets. Since the Fed has taken on numerous questionable loans (and refuses to be transparent about those loans), its assets have risen in risk as compared to when it held mainly Treasury bills.
If the cash flows of the Fed's bonds are to be serviced by the cash flows of these assets, then those bonds will not be risk-free. But the Fed has the power to buy any security it wants to.
It can buy its own bonds in the market
and support the price (although this raises bank reserves and defeats the purpose of the bonds).
It can make them risk-free, although this is unlikely.

Earth to Representative Mike Coffman: Republicans Responsible for Sky-High Deficits
In an address to a joint session of Congress last night, President Barack Obama reiterated his bold pledge to cut the national deficit in half by the end of his first term.
Apparently, that wasn't enough for freshman Representative Mike Coffman (R-CO-06) who told KUSA-TV in Denver, "Certainly I wish [Obama had] been more aggressive in stopping out of control deficit spending, cutting the deficit in half in four years is a little like having a chronic alcoholic cutting their drinking in half, it doesn't get us there, we need a balanced budget."
"Congressman Coffman needs a history lesson," said Andy Stone, Western Regional Press Secretary for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "It was former President Bush and Congressional Republicans that left Americans with deficits as far as the eye could see, taking a $5.6 trillion surplus and transformed it into a $3.2 trillion deficit."
The Bush Administration's 2009 budget will leave the country with a $482 billion deficit, trumping only its previous record of $413 billion set in 2004. All five of the largest deficits in our nation's history occurred on the Bush Administration's watch.

The reasons for not trading Darrelle Revis are obvious. When healthy, this guy is not only the Jets' best player, but probably the best defensive back in the entire NFL and maybe even the best overall defensive player in the NFL. Including this year, when he played just 1 ½ games thanks to injury, Revis has allowed 153 completions on 371 attempts (41.2%) for 1946 yards (5.2 YPA), 8 touchdowns, 18 interceptions, while deflecting 62 passes, and committing 13 penalties over the past 5 seasons. That's a QB rating allowed of 45.3. No one else even comes close to that and he does it despite shadowing the opponent's #1 wide receiver on every snap, something that most #1 cornerbacks don't do anymore. He's also just 28 in July and should have at least 3 more years playing at this level left in him. He's coming off a torn ACL and the Jets would clearly be selling him low by trading him now, which is not normally an advisable move. I say "normally" because there are reasons why moving him no...

Apartment in Sunny Beach Resort, Black Sea Coast, Bulgaria - Peaceful Location 10 Minutes Walk To Beach
Our apartment is just a short walk away from the lovely 8km golden beach. 5km from St Vlas and the new marina, where you can take a stroll and view some of the stunning power boats/yachts. It's only 3km from the ancient town of Nessebar where you can shop for some old war memorabilia. Sunny Beach includes more than 150 restaurants, folkstyle and other establishments with floor shows and excellent food, snack bars and cafeterias. Some restaurants offer basic international cuisine but local dishes predominate, mainly pork, chicken, lamb and fish; the local beer and wine are also great value. Shopska salad (grated goat's cheese on a bed of chopped tomatoes, cucumber and black olives) is a refreshing starter or side order. For fast-food addicts, there is a McDonald's outlet. There is a good bus service from sunny beach to Bourgas. Bourgas has a variety of shops and some great architecture and a great beach/beach restaurants which are less busy than sunny beach.

Charter and fly-in fly-out operator Alliance Aviation Services is looking to broaden its revenue base, including the pursuit of tourism-based charter work, after reporting a 11.2 per cent fall in first-half underlying profit to $6.3 million.
Brisbane-based Alliance reported a statutory loss of $25.8 million, down from a $6.5 million profit a year earlier, as a result of impairments to its aircraft fleet.
The airline, which has 27 operational aircraft, expects to reduce its fleet by three aircraft by the end of June as it continues to adjust after the end of the resources boom and the loss of government charter work.
The company elected not to pay an interim dividend as it looks to reduce debt in the medium term.
It will also look to restructure its debt facilities in the second half of the financial year. The bank facilities had been set to expire on October 31 this year, but ANZ and Commonwealth Bank of Australia have agreed to extend the facility to February 28, 2016.
Alliance has forecast it will report a $13 million underlying full-year net profit, which is up from $10.9 million last year. Over 90 per cent of the company's revenue is derived from fly-in fly-out work with large resources companies. Its largest commodities exposures are to copper, gold and iron ore. The airline typically passes through the fuel price volatility to its customers, so it does not benefit from a lower fuel price in this same way as Qantas Airways, Virgin Australia Holdings and Regional Express.
Alliance recently extended its footprint to New Zealand as part of its push into the tourism charter market. The airline has a contract with US-based tour operator Tauck that uses two of its aircraft, which are based in Auckland.
