Equity release is a big decision. It's important that you understand the key terms and features of this type of financial product so that you fully understand what you're entering into. Ideally you should consult a financial adviser, as well as discussing your plans with your family or anyone who would be a beneficiary of your estate.
The Moneyfacts Equity Release Advice Service, provided by Just Retirement Solutions Limited, will help you decide if equity release is right for you.
To help you understand some of the jargon used, take a look at this page.

An annuity is a type of financial product that pays you an income for the rest of your life.
To downsize means you sell your home to buy a smaller one, or one that is of lower value. By downsizing, you could release some of the money tied up in your home.
A drawdown lifetime mortgage is a type of lifetime mortgage that allows you to release money as and when you need it, up to an agreed limit. The mortgage is secured against your home.
The advantage of a drawdown lifetime mortgage is that interest only begins being charged once the money is released. However, the amount you owe will continue to grow as interest is applied on the amount borrowed and on the interest already accrued over the long term.
The lifetime mortgage is repaid when you or the last surviving borrower living in the property dies or moves into permanent long-term care.
If you choose to, you can repay your lifetime mortgage at any time (either in cash, or by selling your home). However, if you do there may be a fee to pay in addition to paying back the money you released – this is known as an early repayment charge.
There isn't an early repayment charge with a home reversion plan because you will have sold part of your home to a home reversion provider. If you wanted to buy back the share of the property you sold, you would have to do so at the current full market value.
The amount (or percentage) of your home that you own, above any mortgage that may be outstanding on the property.
The Equity Release Council is the industry body for the equity release sector. They represent the providers, qualified financial advisers, lawyers, intermediaries and surveyors who work in the equity release sector.
A major focus of the Equity Release Council's work is to ensure that products are safe and accessible for consumers. Each member of the Council that provides equity release products is signed up to the Equity Release Council's Statement of Principles which puts in place a number of safeguards and guarantees for consumers. This means that people who use equity release products offered by Equity Release Council members can have confidence in the products they use and the information they receive. On top of this, all members also abide by the overarching principles of the Council.
You can read more about the Equity Release Council and their Statement of Principles here.
A way that you can unlock the money tied up in your home to help finance your retirement. There are two types of equity release plan: home reversion and lifetime mortgages. Equity release is normally available to you if you are aged 55 or over, and own your own home worth over £70,000. Plans are only available on your main residence, which must be in the UK. The minimum age, property value and eligibility varies between product providers.
See 'Early repayment charge'.
When you die everything you own (after any borrowing has been deducted), is known as your estate.
This type of equity release plan works by you selling part, or all, of your home to a reversion company. The company buys its portion of your home at under market value, banking on house prices to rise so that it makes a profit. Unlike a lifetime mortgage, the percentage of your home that you own never changes. So if you sell 50% of it to the home reversion company it remains as that percentage and will not increase.
A few equity release plans will let you take your money as income rather than a lump sum. Remember though that the income may only be payable for a set period of time, after which point it may stop. If you are considering using this option it is also worth getting advice about the possibility of releasing a lump sum. You could then use the lump sum to purchase an annuity which will pay you a guaranteed income for life.
A Lifetime Mortgage enables you to release money tied up in your home by providing you with a loan secured against the value of your property. Many providers offer a no negative equity guarantee which means neither you nor your loved ones will ever owe more than the value of your home. However, it can mean there is nothing left as an inheritance when you pass away.
An Inheritance Protection Guarantee means that you can preserve a portion of your home's value as an inheritance. Having an Inheritance Protection Guarantee will reduce the amount of money that you can release from your home.
This tax is paid on death from the proceeds of your estate. The tax is charged at 40% on the value of your estate in excess of £325,000. A surviving spouse/civil partner does not have to pay this tax, and the deceased allowance of £325,000 may be carried over. This means that for married couples/civil partners, inheritance tax is only payable on estates worth more than £650,000, assuming no other property has been passed on to anybody else, such as children. The government has proposed increasing the inheritance tax threshold to £1 million for family homes from 2017.
Equity release plans run until the money is repaid, or until the last policyholder moves into permanent long-term care or dies. So having a joint equity release plan means that your spouse or partner would not have to move home if they outlive you, or you have to move into permanent long-term care.
This form of equity release works by you borrowing, or releasing, a percentage of your home's value, which is secured against your home. The percentage you are able to release will depend on your age, with older borrowers able to release higher percentages than younger borrowers.
Interest is charged on the amount you release and the amount you owe increases over time as interest is accrued. The mortgage and interest are repaid on death, or if you have to move into permanent long-term care. You don't have to make any repayments but there are some providers who do allow regular repayments to be made should you wish to.
This is the percentage of the property's value that you currently owe the equity release provider. With a home reversion equity release plan this percentage always stays the same. However with a lifetime mortgage the amount you owe increases over time.
See 'Loan-to-value'.
Most equity release plans will allow you to take your money as a cash lump sum. This lump sum is tax-free.
This feature of most lifetime mortgages ensures that neither you nor your loved ones will ever owe more than 100% of your home's value. Providers that are members of the Equity Release Council offer this guarantee as standard.
When equity release borrowing can be taken from one home to another if you decide to move. All equity release plans offered by Equity Release Council members have to be portable, and charge no penalty if you do move home – this is subject to the new property meeting the provider's lending criteria.
On a lifetime mortgage, this is the addition of interest to the amount you have borrowed. The interest charged is earned on the amount of cash released plus previously-accumulated interest. When the rate compounds monthly this refers to how often the interest is capitalized (credited to the account). Interest doesn't have to compound monthly, for example it could be any number of times per year or other unit of time – yearly, half-yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly or daily.
Home reversion plans are where you sell all, or part of your home to a home reversion company. It is then this company that owns the portion of your home that you sold.

Won Falls to Two-Week Low as Trade Surplus Narrows; Bonds RiseYewon Kang
The won declined to a two-week low as data showed South Korea's trade surplus more than halved and manufacturing shrank last month. Government bonds rose.
The nation's exports exceeded imports by $2.7 billion in July, compared with a revised $5.9 billion in June, according to government figures released today. A Purchasing Managers' Index compiled by HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics dropped to 47.2, the lowest level since September, a separate report showed. A reading below 50 indicates contraction. The won gained earlier after the Federal Reserve said yesterday it will maintain stimulus that has buoyed emerging-market assets.
"South Korea's economic data didn't meet expectations," said Han Sung Min, a currency trader at Busan Bank in Seoul. "Despite the Fed's dovish comment, the market reacted to the possibility of the tapering, which pushed most Asian currencies down."
The won fell for a third day in Seoul to 1,123.51 per dollar, the lowest since July 19, from 1,123.28 yesterday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The currency advanced as much as 0.4 percent earlier. One-month implied volatility, a measure of expected moves in the exchange rate used to price options, dropped 37 basis points, or 0.37 percentage point, to 8.04 percent, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
The Bloomberg-JPMorgan Asia Dollar Index, which tracks the region's 10 most-traded currencies excluding the yen, lost 0.1 percent today, after falling in each of the last three months.
Weak Momentum
South Korea will deregulate policies to spur corporate investment and revitalize service industries in the second half, Finance Minister Hyun Oh Seok told reporters in Gwangyang today. The economy's growth momentum is "weak," he said.
The won rose earlier as data showed China's manufacturing unexpectedly strengthened in July. The PMI for the world's No. 2 economy was at 50.3, the National Bureau of Statistics and China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said today in Beijing. That compared with the 49.8 median forecast of 35 analysts in a Bloomberg News survey and June's 50.1 level.
The yield on the 2.75 percent South Korean government bonds due June 2016 fell two basis points to 2.92 percent, according to Korea Exchange Inc. prices.

David Simon, the creator of what is popularly considered the greatest television show ever made, has often said in interviews that the least plausible aspects of The Wire were the most grounded in reality.
One of these fantastical elements, was a man named Larry Donnell "Donnie"Andrews. As a young man, Andrews made a living in the particularly ballsy manner of ripping off rival drug dealers. In a 2009 interview, he told The Independent: "The word 'future' wasn't even in my vocabulary, because I didn't know if I'd be alive or dead tomorrow. They had a bet in my neighbourhood that I wouldn't reach 21. Well, I'm 55 now. And the people who made the bet? They're dead."
After confessing to his first and only murder in August 1987, Andrews renounced crime, retrained as an electrician and began to work in neighbourhood outreach.
He died of heart complications, in New York City, where he was attending an event for a non-proft charity. On Friday, Michael Kenneth Williams, the actor who played Omar in The Wire tweeted "R.I.P to the original gangsta and a stand up dude."Reuse content

Configuring Email Clients to Send Through Amazon SES
After you obtain your SMTP user name and password, you can send email through Amazon SES. You can use any email client application that supports SMTP and can connect to an SMTP endpoint using Transport Layer Security (TLS).
The following procedure shows how to configure one such client, Microsoft Outlook 2013, to send email through the Amazon SES SMTP interface. If you are using a different email client, follow the instructions provided by the client vendor, and use the settings described in the following procedure.
To configure Microsoft Outlook 2013 for sending via Amazon SES
In Microsoft Outlook, choose File, and then choose Info.
Choose Add Account.
In the Add Account dialog box, choose Manual setup or additional server types, and then choose Next.
Under Choose Service, choose POP or IMAP, and then choose Next.
Under POP and IMAP Account Settings, fill in the following fields:
Your Name— Type your name.
Email Address— Type the email address from which you will send emails. You must verify this email address or domain. The email address is case-sensitive. Make sure that the address is exactly the same as the one you verified.
Account Type—Choose POP3.
Incoming mail server— Type
none. (Even though you are setting up Amazon SES for outgoing email only, this field is required.)
Outgoing mail server (SMTP)—Type the SMTP endpoint for the outgoing mail server. For a list of Amazon SES SMTP endpoints, see Connecting to the Amazon SES SMTP Endpoint. For example, if you use the Amazon SES endpoint in the US West (Oregon) Region, the outgoing mail server is email-smtp.us-west-2.amazonaws.com.
User Name— Type
none. (You will configure your credentials later in this procedure.)
Choose More Settings.
In the Internet E-mail Settings dialog box, choose the Outgoing Server tab and fill in the following fields:
My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication—Check this box.
Log on using—Choose this option.
User Name—Enter your SMTP user name credential, which is the string of letters and numbers you obtained using the procedure in Obtaining Your Amazon SES SMTP Credentials.
Your SMTP user name is not the same as your AWS access key ID.
Password— Enter your SMTP password, which is the string of letters and numbers you obtained using the procedure in Obtaining Your Amazon SES SMTP Credentials.
Your SMTP password is not the same as your AWS secret access key.
Remember Password—Select this box.
Choose the Advanced tab, and then fill in the following fields.
This example shows a typical configuration. For alternative configurations, see Connecting to the Amazon SES SMTP Endpoint. The Outlook-encrypted connection type labeled TLS corresponds to STARTTLS, and the Outlook-encrypted connection type labeled SSL corresponds to TLS Wrapper.
Outgoing server (SMTP)— Type 587.
Use the following type of encrypted connection— Choose TLS.
Choose OK.
On the Add Account page, choose Test Account Settings. This lets you test your setup by having Outlook send an email through Amazon SES.
Because you are using Amazon SES as your outgoing email server only, the Log onto incoming mail server test is expected to fail. The Send test e-mail test should pass.
If the test message that Outlook sends through Amazon SES arrives successfully, clear the Test Account Settings by clicking the Next button check box (because the test will fail without setting up incoming email) and then choose Next.
Choose Next, and then choose Finish.
You set up Amazon SES for email sending only. To ensure that the account is not set up to receive messages using Amazon SES, you must disable mail retrieval for the account by using the following steps.
In Microsoft Outlook, choose the Send/Receive tab.
On the Send/Receive tab, choose Send/Receive Groups, and then choose Define Send/Receive Groups.
In the Send/Receive Groups dialog box, choose Edit.
In the Accounts section on the left, choose the account you just created for sending mail through Amazon SES.
Under Account Options, clear Receive mail items.
Choose OK, and then choose Close.

BALTIMORE -- Miguel Tejada got it started, and Melvin Mora followed. Then Nick Markakis hit a home run, too.
Perhaps that old adage about hitting being contagious might be true, after all.
The Orioles' rejuvenated offense produced three homers, and Baltimore shook off another shot by Nick Swisher in an 8-4 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Sunday.
After going 13 straight games without scoring as many as seven runs, the Orioles tallied eight in successive games over the weekend. Tejada led the way, hitting a home run in each game.
"I think when he starts swinging the bat the rest of the team starts to pick up a little bit," Orioles manager Sam Perlozzo said beforehand. "If we can get one or two guys to start swinging, maybe some others guys will relax and chip in with them."
That's how it played out Sunday. Tejada hit a two-run shot in the third inning, Mora connected with a man on in the fourth and Markakis hit a three-run drive in the sixth.
It was only the second time this season Baltimore hit three home runs in a game.
"We're definitely starting to swing the bats better as a team," said Markakis, who went 3-for-4 and scored twice after going 0-for-8 in the first two games of the series.
Swisher homered in a third consecutive game, a three-run shot that got the A's to 5-4 in the fifth. It was his ninth home run of the season, the fifth in five games against Baltimore.
But Oakland starter Joe Blanton (4-3) gave up a career-high tying three homers in six innings after allowing only six home runs in 67 2/3 innings before Sunday.
"Today it seemed if he made a mistake they capitalized on it," Oakland manager Bob Geren said. "He's been great all year and I'm sure he'll continue to have a great season."
Tejada has homered in three of four games after connecting only twice in his first 46 games.
"It's because I've been working hard with my conditioning trainer in the weight room and (because) I work hard on my hitting," he said. "I feel comfortable right now and I'm swinging at strikes. That's why my bat looks quicker."
Someone asked Geren if he was surprised to see Tejada go on such a tear.
"No, I wasn't. I was surprised when I heard Tejada only had two home runs. Then the night we arrived (Thursday), they were playing Toronto, he hit one. Then he hit two against us," Geren said. "He's a good hitter and he's got great bat speed, an MVP-type player."
Daniel Cabrera (4-5) allowed four runs, five hits and four walks in six innings for the Orioles. He was 0-2 with 15.00 ERA in two career starts against the A's.
For the third time in the series, Baltimore scored first. Blanton got the first two outs in the third inning before Markakis singled and Tejada drove a hanging breaking ball into the left-field seats.
Baltimore made it 5-1 in the fourth. After Jay Payton singled, Mora hit a towering fly that dropped into the front rows of the left-field seats. It was his sixth home run, the first since May 1.
Corey Patterson followed with a double, and Brian Roberts hit a two-out RBI single.
Swisher got the A's back in the game with a two-out drive to right after Adam Melhuse singled and Shannon Stewart walked. Swisher is 6-for-15 (.400) with five homers and nine RBI in five games against the Orioles this season.
It was Baltimore's first series win at home against Oakland since 2003. ... Swisher has eight career homers against Baltimore, all at Camden Yards, his most HRs at any road ballpark. ... Mora's homer ended a 2-for-16 skid. ... Oakland's Eric Chavez went 0-for-4, extending his ongoing slump to 1-for-21. ... The Orioles, who went 3-3 on the homestand, play their next 10 games on the road, where they're 8-16.

Say hello to Councilman Chris Cate, and a slightly smaller Democratic majority on the City Council.
Cate's win shrinks the Democratic edge on the Council from 6-3 to 5-4, which means no more super-majority capable of overriding Republican Mayor Kevin Faulconer's veto.
But Council members and others say that's not as important as people seem to think.
The bigger issues to emerge from Cate's win are that control of the Council is now in play in 2016, the four Council Republicans can now force an issue onto the docket and what type of councilman Cate will become beyond his voting record.

really true. i have seen more husbands like this not because they are powerless. But they fear loosing their wife. That is why they act like this. Not all wifes are like this... (the other point). good poem.

Interesting to read the way you described how men and women behave in a marriage. Some are definitely like this. Shouting and possessive are the two that I found most interesting.

Overview: Asparagus Roots
Akiko Yamamoto is a young entrepreneur, who after having been schooled in the womanly arts at a Post WWII officially sanctioned comfort house (of prostitution) in Tokyo, comes to California to marry the father of her 4 year old son Daichi. Akiko's American dream is quickly shattered when she discovers that her fiancé, US Navy petty officer Barry Bancroft, is not the upstanding man she imagined.
Akiko then takes it on herself to build a gentleman's club where she entertains with the piano artistry she learned in her mission high school and perfected along with flirting in the comfort house. On the land attached to her club, she also finds use for the competence gained at her grandfather's side in his market garden outside of Tokyo.
When she arrived in Sacramento she was befriended by Suki, a young American Nisei woman who has returned from the internment camps with a chip on her shoulder. They struggle to succeed in a racist environment where all seem to be against them. Together they seek to find the best revenge: to succeed wildly.
This story traces Akiko's life from high school girl in war torn Tokyo, to war bride, to abused wife, to a wildly successful investor, to a person seeking revenge on a massive scale. But she must do it while carrying the burden of a terrible secret that lay buried under the Asparagus Roots of Akiko's market garden in Sacramento.

Sam Greenlee was on hand Saturday at the historic Marcus Books on Fillmore, the hotbed of philosophy, organizing, and communications during the Civil Rights era in San Francisco. Greenlee spoke to a mix of young and old audience members about the book and film "The Spook Who Sat By the Door." "I tell young people the key to a good film is good writing. You have to have a good script," said Greenlee, who said he has history with Marcus Bookstore having had at least three book signings at the store. "I like San Francisco," said Greenlee. "You should bring me back out here for the San Francisco Black Film Festival," Greenlee commented to Kali Ray, Co-Director of the festival. "Ok, we'll check that out and see," responded Ray, a supporter of the Oakland International Film Festival and son of San Francisco Black Film Festival founder the late Ave Montague.

Bentley gave us our first sneak peek at its new SUV not too long ago, revealing a different front fascia from the one we saw on the Bentley EXP 9 F concept that debuted at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. Now the British automaker is teasing the ultra-lux SUV once again, this time with a trailer that shows the SUV's body through lights and reflections, giving us yet another preview to the changes over the original EXP9 F Concept SUV.
The biggest difference is the headlight setup. The EXP 9 F concept featured singular round units, but like the new Continental GT, the production version showcases a twin-headlight design. The teaser video also shows images of the front bumper, though there's no mistaking Bentley's familiar large, chrome-laden grille. Even with the monochromatic theme in the video, you can make out some of the SUV's design cues, like the styling line that runs along the side and rises toward the rear, giving the SUV those wide hips Bentleys are known to have. We also get a glimpse at the SUV's five-spoke wheels and side vents, but it appears as though we'll have to wait until later to see the interior.
Bentley boasts the SUV "sets new standards in bespoke craftsmanship and performance," though it's been hush-hush details regarding the powertrain. Bentley says it will be available with a range of engines, which could include the 6.0-liter W-12 that would sit at the top of the range above the 500-hp 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V-8 that powers the Continental GT V8 and Flying Spur lineup. A plug-in hybrid option will also be available for 2017. The Bentley SUV is scheduled to start production in Crewe, England in 2016.

I have family members who have died recently, others who are dying, and some who tell me confidently every time we talk, "You know, I won't be around much longer…"
Author: James Olsen
James is the husband of Erin Fairlight Olsen. Together they have conspired to doom their four children to a lifetime of mispronounced names: Gaebriel Joseph, Magdeleine Ysabelle, Myriam Reevkahleh, and Ewa Nuhr. Raised where the buffalo still roam in northeastern Wyoming, James learned how to Anglicize French while serving in the Missouri, St. Louis Mission. Afterward he thought so long and indecisively and with such passionately committed existential anguish about what to do with his life that finally BYU simply granted him a degree in philosophy. He then received a Master of Arts degree in International Affairs from George Washington University. Unable to subsequently handle the pressures of looming heteronormativity, however, he once again took up philosophy, this time at Georgetown. Currently he is in Doha, Qatar, hiding out from Georgetown, which, much like his wife, would really appreciate it if he just graduated.
Restoring the Paths to Dwell In – Part III
My main motivation was jealousy. I was fantastically jealous that my wife was running the coolest book club I'd ever seen.[1]
Restoring the Paths to Dwell In – Part II
The first time I remember, it happened – of course – because I was searching for things on the internet. If I remember correctly, it even happened because I was researching for a Sunday School lesson. I read about Gallatin Missouri
Restoring the Paths to Dwell In – Part I
I'd never seen anything like it. It wasn't just Mormonism: Shadow or Reality? (which was opened on the living room coffee table with a pen resting on top). There was a pile of anti-Mormon literature in various stages of being read sitting around the room.
Advice on Teaching – Preparation
(This is the second post in a series. The first post is here.)
Advice on Teaching – Preliminaries
I've recently been involved in teacher training in my ward and have prepared some materials that I'm going to share across a few posts.
Damnable Terminology
I now genuinely regret my use of the term 'violence' in my recent post. My intention was to be completely candid and point out a phenomenon of our collective experience. As I often tell my students, however, the thoughts, intentions and arguments that might genuinely be running through our heads when we compose something does not change the meaning of the end product.
Damnable Defaults
A great deal of the discussion on women in the priesthood that I see happening right now[1] concerns our efforts to control and propagate various narratives. Personally, I find our current default narratives even more upsetting than our current practices.
Joseph Smith's Study of the Ancient World – Online!
The 2013 Church History Symposium now has most of the videos from the conference online (you can see the lineup for the conference here). I think the conference, it's organization and execution, was a significant step forward for church-sponsored scholarship (or more precisely, was a continuation of the significant steps the church has been taking recently) – that is, the event itself is worth celebrating. But there were also some really interesting addresses. And now, it's all online, gratuitement! Click here.
My dear friend,
Church History Conference
There is a Church History Conference at BYU March 7-8 entitled "Approaching Antiquity: Joseph Smith and the Ancient World" (see details below). I find two things interesting about this conference: 1. The structure of the conference itself. The Church History Department and the BYU Department of Religion are co-sponsoring the conference, and while most of the lineup consists of BYU Religion professors there is also a significant lineup of non-BYU scholars, including Richard Bushman, Matt Bowman, and Kevin Barney. This strikes me as something different than I might have expected. 2. The content of the conference. To date much of the discussion about Joseph Smith and the ancient world has been a polemic between those who see Joseph's knowledge and use of ancient themes, symbols, practices, and the like to be clear evidence of divine intervention, and those who see Joseph as a crafty religious plagiarist, creatively selecting a la carte from the various ancient studies resources he came across in…
Dia de los Muertos: We Live in their Presence
I won't lie, I was frightened going to the Democratic Republic of the Congo
The Temple and The Tempest
Shakespeare's been critical for me at critical junctures in my life. In Mormonism where The Bard is revered, I think this is common. In Junior High Hamlet was the gift of language that bootstrapped the monkey into a meaningful world. Celebrating the Ides of March together with the woman I desperately wanted to marry reversed the obvious set-up for a tragedy. It's a memorial my family continues to celebrate each year with a brief family Shakespearapalooza. This last week has been filled with Shakespeare, culminating last night with a dream date my wife took me on to the Royal Shakespeare Company's performance of The Tempest at Stratford-Upon-Avon. The artistic detail of the play was brilliant; Prospero mildly interesting and passable; Miranda simplistic and dull; Sebastian (a woman) very genuine and convincing; Ariel completely mesmerizing, haunting, and utterly unforgettable. Taken together it was a transformative production that upheld the troupe's "royal" reputation. All of this is mere intro. What inspires me…
Happy Mother's Day
Mother's Day is a bit like Christmas time in terms of the mass solicitations sent out from various NGOs. To be honest, these are perhaps the only mass emails that I don't mind. And I frankly agree with their general point: what better way to wish your own mother a Happy Mother's Day than by contributing to another mother in her name?
Mormon Intellectuals Part III: My Postscript
(See here for Jim's original post, here for part I, and here for part II) In my original response to Jim, I wrote the following: While I've tried to be fair and accurate, it may be that I'm misreading [Toscano or Faulconer], that I'm mistaken in my analysis of their position. Even if that turns out to be the case, I believe that explicitly laying out this Toscano-Faulconer spectrum is a very useful tool, one that helps us all to orient ourselves to the various possibilities that exist for intellectuals, and allows me to argue in favor of a third position. In the wake of Jim's comments it seems clear that I did misunderstand some of what he had to say, and that we're closer together than I originally thought – if nothing else, I'm happy to help clarify and advertise his position. I still think there's a difference between what we're advocating (as do a number of the commenters)…
Mormon Intellectuals Part II: Jim's Comments
I had previously intended to post some of Jim's comments from an email. Instead, I'm re-posting his response to Part I here in order to further highlight what he has to say. I'll follow this up with one more post tomorrow. Jim's comments are as follows: I cannot tell you how touched and flattered I am by your piece, both by the kind things you say in the beginning and by the very fact that you've thought something I wrote worthy of such a careful, thoughtful response. My response to your essay is that I disagree with almost nothing. I think there is perhaps a minor difference between us, but most of the difference is occasioned by the difference between a column of restricted length that, therefore, requires a rhetorical stance as much as a philosophical one. I deliberately took a rhetorical stance that I knew would be bothersome because I wanted to raise an issue that I had been thinking about…
Mormon Intellectuals: A Response to Jim Faulconer
I disagree with some important parts of Jim's recent piece on intellectuals in the Church (please read what he said first). By the end, I hope it's clear that it is (in part) for "Faulconerian" reasons that I disagree with him. To begin, I'm going to indulge in a bit of biographical narcissism in order to make a point about the nature of my disagreement. The semester recently began, and as I do at the beginning of nearly every course, I told the students a story about Jim Faulconer, or rather about my undergraduate self in one of Jim's classes. Philosophers believe deeply in the intrinsic and instrumental good of criticism, argument, candid evaluation – in the overall value of dialectic. As an outside observer recently put it, "philosophers honor each other by disagreeing with each other." For new philosophy students, however, the transition can be a bit rough; and I was no exception. One of my formative educational experiences involved…
Reassessing the theological side of the Compromise
Terryl Givens' recently wrote about the American compromise with Mormonism, whereby Mormons agreed not to be so radical as to entirely alienate themselves from American society (i.e., ditch polygamy and our lovely Deseret) in exchange for the U.S. ceasing its explicit campaign to eradicate us. He describes the unwritten contours of that compromise as consisting in a willingness to accept and even promote the various cultural achievements of Mormonism (e.g., our choir, football, family focus), while agreeing to shelve any serious engagement with our theology. One can hear the variation on a popular General Conference theme when he writes: "In opting to emphasize Mormon culture over Mormon theology, Mormons have too often left the media and ministers free to select the most esoteric and idiosyncratic for ridicule. . . . But members of a faith community should recognize themselves in any fair depiction." The upshot is that Mormons themselves need to help define their public image now that Presidential politics have disturbed our…
Sunday School Questions
We recently had a teacher training workshop in our ward. There was a good turn out with lots of very positive contributions and an overall great discussion. For my own part I talked about the use of questions as a teacher. I'm sharing what I prepared since it may be useful for some of you, but even moreso because I'm interested in your feedback. Do you take issue with any of my points about the use of questions? Are there other reasons or ways we ought to use questions in a Sunday (or in our case, Friday) School setting? ****** As we all know, one of our primary responsibilities as teachers is to create an atmosphere where members of the class can commune with the spirit and receive revelation. One of the most important ways I've seen this done is by doing what God and angels are continually doing in the scriptures: asking questions.[fn1] Here are some tips about asking…
Book Review: Parley P. Pratt: The Apostle Paul of Mormonism
"If Pratt wanted to leave for posterity a record of his apostolic role in providential history, he also wanted to leave for futurity the story of the flesh and blood Parley P. Pratt (393)." Regardless of whether we agree with Givens & Grow on this point, it is the lens through which we ought to view their recent biography. Parley P. Pratt: The Apostle Paul of Mormonism is a substantial addition to Pratt's timeworn autobiography, an attempt to fill out our understanding of the man – both who Pratt was and also the critical (though often overlooked) contribution he made to Mormonism and its theology. While I take this to be the explicit aim of the authors, I'm more interested in the normative impact this biography will potentially make on its readers. Or maybe I'm merely so focused on my own agenda that I can't help but exploit Givens & Grow toward this end.[1] Regardless, in this biography of one…
My testimony
I'm no stranger to doubt and scepticism – I'm as much a child of conflicted modernity as anyone and it has been years since the majority of those close to me have professed an unwavering belief – and context is as relevant to testimony as anything else. But tonight I want to state candidly and unreservedly: I believe. There's something genuinely magical (and I feel that quickening magic now) in the bearing of a testimony – I count my experience with testimony as one of the grand mysteries I've encountered in life. I can't help but continually try to cast my conceptual net about it; to design new ways of trying to observe this thing that like an electron is better characterized by movement in a region than by determinate position; to articulate with analysis and plumb with nuance what goes on inside my collective soul. My perpetual failure doesn't dissuade me; I continue to believe in it's in-principle possibility;…
Why Bloom, et al are wrong
Harold Bloom's recent NY Times article on Mormonism & politics was tremendously disappointing. The sheer volume of poorly (or dishonestly) researched writing on Mormonism this season is exhausting; and to get this sort of long worn-out, conspiracy minded expression of clichés from someone as well educated as Bloom is downright disheartening[1] (though to be fair, we've gotten a good deal of serious journalism as well). But I'm actually not much interested in that side of Bloom's article. Let me quickly bring up two other points from the article. First, Bloom states this: The founding prophet Joseph Smith['s]…highly original revelation was as much a departure from historical Christianity as Islam was and is. But then, so in fact are most manifestations of what is now called religion in the United States, including the Southern Baptist Convention, the Assemblies of God Pentecostalists and even our mainline Protestant denominations. We could take note here – it's a succinct and accurate response to those…
Times & Seasons Welcome Sarah Bringhurst Familia
Times & Seasons is pleased to introduce Sarah Bringhurst Familia as our newest guest blogger. Sarah grew up in California, where she and her four siblings were homeschooled (back in the good old days when homeschooling was weird and subversive, not hip and progressive). She received her BA in Near Eastern Studies at BYU, and served a mission in Santiago, Chile. After their marriage and the birth of their first child, Sarah and her husband Tony took their two-month-old baby on a summer field study to the Philippines, where they slept in nipa huts, backpacked into mountain villages, and caught an incurable travel bug. Since then, they've lived in Italy, Ireland, and most recently Tunisia. Sarah enjoys playing the piano and folk harp, writing poetry, learning languages, and ethnic cooking.

My Wife's Exercise of the Priesthood in Our Home (or Response to Alison part III) Here a people of godly race are born for heaven; the Spirit gives them life in the fertile waters. The Church-Mother, in these waves, bears her children like virginal fruit she has conceived by the Holy Spirit.[1] I love this inscription. For me, it makes of baptism the center of a multi-axes union of male and female, convert and community, earth and heaven – reminiscent of our earlier discussions, and a perfect preamble to this one. (Actually, the preamble's going to on for a while – impatient folk are welcome to skip down to the numbered list below.) The reality is, there's so much to discuss in the original issues raised in Alison's "Serving on the Sidelines" post that I'll never get around to saying all I'd like to (here's part I and part II). But I need to at least get through part III…
Which Mormon are You Voting For?
One of the gloriously enriching experiences in marriage – at least in my marriage – is all of the truly wonderful people that my wife has brought into my life. One of these persons is Sarah Bringhurst Familia – a brilliant, homeschooling mother, who also happens to be a pillar of global citizenship. Since marrying, she and her husband have lived in a number of exotic locations, including Utah, California, The Philippines, Ireland, Italy, and most recently Tunisia. With both a degree and lots of life experience centering around the Middle East, she's a trenchant observer of current affairs in the region. Her interests take her all over the place, however, and she recently posted this piece which I thought the Times & Seasons crowd would enjoy (you can follow her own blog here): Which Mormon are You Voting For? by Sarah Bringhurst Familia It's the question of the hour. And if you forced me to choose between Huntsman and Romney, I'd…
Statements on Heavenly Mother
I thought a good companion to Jonathan's recent post would be a list of quotations by church authorities on Heavenly Mother found in Paulsen's & Pulido's recent BYU studies article, "A Mother There." I do not list them in the same order as they're found in the article, nor do I list all of the quotations found in their article (not to mention the hundreds more that they've accumulated) – but let me be clear about the fact that I've culled them directly from the article. The quotes themselves are clearly in the public domain, but it still feels a bit like plagiarism. All credit goes to them. Nonetheless, it seems an extremely valuable resource to actually have before us at least a small sampling of what church authorities have said from then til now when we discuss this important doctrine. And now the quotes: "All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit…
12 Questions with Grant Hardy – part II
Here is the conclusion of Times & Seasons look at Grant Hardy's new book Understanding the Book of Mormon, and the second half of our 12 Questions interview:
12 Questions with Grant Hardy – part I
To cap off our roundtable review of Grant Hardy's new book Understanding the Book of Mormon we're fortunate to feature an interview with the book's author. The interview will be posted in two parts. Our thanks to all who have participated, and especially Bro. Hardy.
Response to Alison – part II
Here's a second post, responding to issues raised in Alison's Serving on the Sidelines. Moses 6:59-60: That by reasons of transgression cometh the fall, which fall bringeth death, and inasmuch as ye were born into the world by water, and by blood, and by the spirit, which I have made, and so became of dust a living soul, even so ye must be born again into the kingdom of heaven, of water, and of the Spirit, and be cleansed by blood, even the blood of mine Only Begotten; that ye might be sanctified from all sin, and enjoy the words of eternal life in this world, and eternal life in the world to come, even immortal glory; for by the water ye keep the commandment; by the spirit ye are justified, and by the blood ye are sanctified. I love these verses. I love the visceral, embodied symbolism. I've been personally moved and affected by the connection they make between…
Response to Alison – part I
Alison has a talent for writing trenchant posts in general – posts that point to the heart of an issue – particularly as concerns women's issues.[1] This post is a response to her latest (please read first).[2]

St.Thomas/Red Hook Liveaboard
Hello out there,
I am moving to St. Thomas for the winter on Oct. 11. I will be working on a boat out of the East end and I would also like to live on a boat too.
Does anyone have suggestions on where I should look/call about finding a place to live?
Thanks so much!
Ashley :)
If you are comfortable with a heavy swell and frequent wakes you can anchor in Red Hook itself - it would certainly not be my first choice, though. I think you might be able to find someone to rent you a private mooring closer in but it would still be an uncomfortable place to settle down in. I met a couple of younger guys (working in the hospitality industry) who found cheap housing last year, both in Red Hook and over on St. John. Assuing the tourism industry is still depressed you should have no problems finding a place to stay ashore.
Zanshin's remarks are dead on. There are many live aboard's in the harbor and Vessup Beach area so it is clearly being done. To find inexpensive housing I would suggest you also look at www dot VImovingcenter dot com. Once on island you might do well to meet as many people as possible quickly to see if you could get a roommate to share expenses. Oct 11 is still the hurricance season here. There are some bulletin boards around the Redhook area that will have rental notices on them as well.
Good luck.

By Andrew Keatts |
Interim mayor Todd Gloria's climate action plan is an ambitious document that could change the way we commute, the types of energy we use and the efficiency of our buildings.
Kevin Faulconer's ascendancy as mayor and a lengthy upcoming review process could both force changes to the plan over the coming months.
But Gloria will still be Council president and wants the plan to stay a priority. Faulconer ran as a pro-environment moderate. That means the plan's likely to change, but unlikely to go away.
Last week we looked at one piece of the plan that's already getting some push-back, a mandate for homeowners and commercial property owners to retrofit buildings to improve water and energy efficiency.
