ladies who lunch
Today I woke up with this song in my head, which reminds me of the women of my childhood. The women who would who have lunch and then pick up their kids at my school. The gossip, the bitchiness, the unbearable bad taste. Maybe it's because yesterday i had an encounter with a woman, a teacher, who seems to be quite the opposite, or at least critical of those ladies who lunch. I'm in a transition between that bourgeoisie i was never part of but in which i was brought up and something else, the kind of transition that makes you ask yourself who you are, and what do you want...
...All that in a Sondheim song.

very cold. It's been trying to snow a little this morning but nothing more since then. I spoke with Tim early doors too and he is off to Ikea today! Well, I suppose one would if one was in Sweden.......he cannot resist their meatballs!! He seems to be making more of his time there now and going into town etc and actually finding out that it is quite a nice place! He said he is glad he chose to go there but wished more of his classmates had also wanted to do it so that they were with more people. Anyway just 6 more days and he will be home. It has gone quickly I think.
Braving the cold today and going to do more wallpaper stripping. Has to be done! I have got the rad on in there as otherwise it would be purgatory! I've just been downloading some new music onto the computer and making some CD's. I don't think I can bear Steve Wright this morning as it will be all the Valentine's Lovesongs and messages, and I don't feel like listening today. So it will be something more stirring I guess!
Jackie sent me the whole of series 2 Downton Abbey plus Christmas Special and for the last two days I have been glued to the computer watching them all. Wonderful. I really enjoyed my fest!!!
So, stirring music on; wallpaper here I come!!

get rid of the tub all together. Yes, I said it and what would take it's place would be a full luxury standing room only shower. Okay, maybe you could add a seat if you would like. The cheapest route would be to add one of those pre-made ones, but my favorite idea would be to add a clear, frameless, glass door and tile the whole tub with the above tiles and paint the rest of the room white in satin so it would be easy to keep clean.
Yes, those are jets!
Isn't this faucet so pretty?

A Beit Shemesh woman dubbed the 'Taliban mother' because of her insistence on wearing multiple layers of clothing and covering her head and face, will be sentenced on Tuesday afternoon by Judge Nava Ben-Or of the Jerusalem District Court.
The woman, a mother of 12, was convicted in July of 25 counts of assault and three counts of child abuse after Ben-Or rejected the defense's argument that she was mentally ill.
The abuse, spanning over a decade, reportedly consisted of beatings with household items, imprisonment outdoors in stormy weather, starvation and mental abuse.
Her husband, the children's father, was also expected to be sentenced on Tuesday.
One of the woman's daughters, in her 30s, told Army Radio on Tuesday that the children had long since forgiven their mother for all they had undergone, adding that they did not wish to relive "things we have forgotten and been cured of."

KIMBERLY A. O'CONNOR Acting Supreme Court Justice
action by representatives of schoolchildren from eight small
city school districts in New York State follows the
Campaign for Fiscal Equity ("CFE")
litigation involving the New York City schools, which spanned
approximately twelve years, and resulted in a judicial
determination that the State of New York ("State")
was violating the constitutional rights of New York
City's schoolchildren (see Campaign for Fiscal Equity
v State of New York, 86 N.Y.2d 307');">86 N.Y.2d 307 [1995][" CFE
I "]; Campaign for Fiscal Equity v State of New
York, 100 N.Y.2d 893');">100 N.Y.2d 893 [2003][" CFE II
"]; Campaign for Fiscal Equity v State of New
York, 8 N.Y.3d 14');">8 N.Y.3d 14 [2006][" CFE III
"]). The cornerstone of the determination in the CFE
case was that State education funding to New York City
schools was so inadequate that it deprived New York City
schoolchildren of their constitutionally-mandated opportunity
for a sound basic education (see CFE II, 100 N.Y.2d
at 908-919). The plaintiffs here have made similar claims.
of Foundation Aid Post-CFE
2007, in response to the judicial determination in CFE that
the State's funding mechanism for the New York City
schools was constitutionally inadequate, the executive and
legislative branches of New York State government reformed
the method of determining school aid for all school districts
in the State of New York. This reform wholly changed the way
school funding was calculated, creating a new funding formula
called "Foundation Aid." Foundation Aid is
calculated on a per student basis, as follows:
[S]tart with a foundation amount, which is a single
number.... [M]ultiply that by a district specific pupil needs
index and then... multiply that number by a district specific
regional cost index, which yields... a total adjusted
foundation amount from which... an expected minimum local
contribution [is subtracted]. The difference of that
subtraction yields... a State aid per pupil, which is the
foundation aid per pupil amount (tr at 4031).
foundation amount is derived from the "Successful
Schools Model." Essentially, the New York State
Department of Education looks at the data from school
districts that meet certain achievement criteria, and then
the per pupil spending in those districts is analyzed. Next,
a subset of the lower-half of those spending districts is
created, [1] and the average per pupil spending
within that subset is calculated. That amount is the
foundation amount, which is updated every three years.
fundamental change in the way school aid is calculated in New
York State was the subject of years of analysis and
negotiation by and between the Legislature and the Executive.
It was enacted in 2007 by the Legislature, and was signed
into law by the Governor as a part of the State budget. The
new law created a plan to implement an increase of $5.5
billion in school aid for the entire State over a period of
four years.
the State engaged in non-fiscal reforms following the CFE
case that were designed to improve the overall performance of
the schools through accountability measures and raising
standards, as well as teacher performance evaluation. During
this time period, the Federal funding known as "Race to
the Top" was being implemented, along with increased
standards known as "Common Core." All witnesses at
trial noted the negative impact that these significant
changes had on student performance, both statewide and
nationwide. The increase in standards and substantial changes
in standardized testing resulted in significant decreases in
student performance across the State, impacting the eight
school districts and negatively influencing the students'
In the
2007-2008 and 2008-2009 State budgets, Foundation Aid was
enacted and implemented as originally planned. However, the
enacted State budget in 2009-2010 included a freeze in the
amount of Foundation Aid at the 2008-2009 level. The
2008-2009 budget also reduced the amount of school aid
through a mechanism called a "Deficit Reduction
Assessment." [2] Beginning in 2010-2011, the enacted
State budget again included the Foundation Aid freeze, as
well as a Gap Elimination Adjustment ("GEA"), which
reduced the school aid amount for each district. Foundation
Aid began to be phased in again in the 2012-2013 State
budget, and the GEA has been reduced or rolled back piecemeal
over several recent budget years.
Case - The Trial
It is
against this backdrop that plaintiffs, representatives of
children in eight small city school districts [3] in the State
of New York, have brought this action against the State for
declaratory and injunctive relief, alleging that the
schoolchildren in these school districts are being deprived
of the opportunity for a sound basic education, required by
Article XI, § 1 of the New York State Constitution,
based upon the reduction in State education funding noted
above. The trial of this matter took place over the course of
approximately two months, commencing on January 21, 2015 and
concluding on March 12, 2015. The Court has had a full
opportunity to consider the evidence presented with respect
to the issues in the case, including testimony from many
witnesses, as well as countless exhibits and the voluminous
Court has also reviewed the parties' post-trial
submissions, including, among other things, a Joint Statement
of Undisputed Facts ("Joint Statement"), dated
October 28, 2015, in which they stipulated to the following
categories of information presented at the trial for each of
the school districts: enrollments, demographics, staffing
counts/ratios, class sizes, per pupil expenditures,
graduation rates, dropout and suspension rates, and test
scores. The Court adopts these stipulated facts and
incorporates the Joint Statement in its entirety by reference
herein. There were numerous stipulations during the course of
the trial that are also recognized by this Court, and are
incorporated into this Decision and Order.
amount of State aid received by each of the eight school
districts for each year [4] was not the subject of a
stipulation. However, based upon the presentation of this
issue in the parties' post-trial submissions, there is no
disagreement regarding the amount of State aid provided, or
the amount of the GEA. In fact, it appears as though the only
reason these numbers were not the subject of a stipulation
was the way the numbers were described and presented, and the
disagreement about the plaintiff's characterization
regarding a "gap" in the State aid. Nevertheless,
the actual numbers are undisputed.
common thread running through the eight school districts is
one of high-need, based upon the demographics of most of the
children in the districts. It is undisputed that many, and
often a majority, of children in these districts are
economically disadvantaged, have disabilities, and/or have
limited English proficiency. The parties generally agree that
children with higher needs often require programs to address
the problems that their situations and circumstances create.
The performance of the children in these school districts is
undeniably inadequate. It is the import of this ...

Why I Refuse to Join the Mom Bashing Club.
May 11, 2011 at 3:44 pm 2 comments
Besides the fact that it is ridiculous, juvenile, and basically just mean, it goes against everything that new parents need first and foremost, a strong support system. I am a lover of all things pregnancy, birthing, breastfeeding and parenting blogs, and I love the communities that have been created as a result of these blogs bringing women from all the world, all different situations, together. And before I go out on a tangent, a bit of a rant, I should preface myself by saying that there are several possible reasons for why I am about to say what I am going to say: 1) I am mighty sensitive (to language, and sometimes, to life) 2) Everyone thinks they have all the answers and are doing things the best and right away (I suppose there is nothing inherently wrong about this, however, can we still not at least be like, "dude, you do things hella different than me, but know what? I've got your back" 3) Mom guilt sets in and makes you rethink every decision you have made, every interaction you have had with your child (maybe not every single one, but a lot of them, mom guilt is the worst, GUILT is the worst in general, let's ditch it, all together now, 1, 2, 3, NO MORE GUILT) 4) People are just mean and/or insensitive and there is nothing more to it.
As I so bravely confessed on Facebook last night, I have an addiction to reading blogs about birth, parenting, cloth diapers, breastfeeding… you name it. Not only that, but I am a junkie for talking about and learning about all things birth and babies. I want to take in as much information as possible, and because of that, I am often subjected to a lot of information that is counter-productive to what I am seeking out, which is support and community. I guess thems the breaks right? Can't have it all, can't have it all. I hate when I stumble across some super strong one way article or post, one that proclaims to be the be all end all to one particular subject. This was even worse when I was 4 weeks postpartum and ridiculously hypersensitive to everything I read. But now, it just makes me mad. And sometimes sad – I'm not going to lie, while I do consider myself a confident person, and fairly self-aware and strong in my values and belief systems, and can feel good about that, sometimes people make me doubt myself, and sometimes people make me feel sad. OMG! Human and emotional being, alert. I've seen it more than I've needed to, one group of parents bashing the other, or at the very least, not supporting. I get that we all have our own ways of parenting, our own ideas of what is best for our own children. I get that some of us might follow one specific set of ideas over another. However, what I don't get is why some of us feel the need to pinpoint mamas who aren't doing the same thing, to run them down, to attempt to make them feel like balls. There are always situations in life, in our daily interactions, in our work, where we will have differing opinions and different beliefs, so why does it seem like when this happens in regards to parenting, birthing choices, rather than attempting to come to an understanding, and learn (NOT adopt, I simply said learn) about what another woman is doing with her children, and what her reasons are, we go into attack mode and full-on pull out the harshest Weapons of Mass Destruction – our words used in anything but a lovingly, nurturing and supportive way?
I had a bit of experience with this the other evening, after I posted a comment to an article about breastfeeding, and why one mom chose to breastfeed. The article was great, and was written in a very supportive tone, in a way which did not berate anybody, but rather, shared her experiences and encouraged others to do the same. Since breastfeeding is very dear to my heart, I of course had to leave a comment, briefly touching on my experiences and the support I had/have. I talked about not knowing why my milk supply never fully came in, and I mentioned that I thought that maybe it might had something to do with the epidural, induction, pitocin and IV. Another poster commented about how she wished there was more support for breastfeeding mothers to have a natural labour and delivery, so as not to interfere with the body's processes and to further encourage breastfeeding. In total, there were 34 comments, most of which were positive, supportive, and a sharing of individual experiences, however there was one that made me angry. In short, the poster suggested that since she had had an epidural and been induced and had more milk than she knew what to do with, and this was the situation with most people with similar experiences, that she did not like how women "put the blame on those things." My reply to this was, "I didn't suggest epidural/pitocin/IV because I need something to 'blame.' I think we need to be careful around the language we use in terms of breastfeeding (read a good article about that today, can't find the link, sorry.) Suggesting that there needs to be some sort of blame placed suggests that we need an excuse for not being able to breast feed. I would like a REASON as to why I cannot produce more milk, and I have had tests, blood work done which has produced no answers. I have read a lot of studies that talk about how epidural, pitocin and excessive IV fluids MAY affect breastfeeding and milk supply. I'm not saying that this is why I am unable to exclusively breastfeed, I am just lost as to what another reason might be and think this might be one. Thanks to all the women for sharing their stories. I think that as mamas, there are so many pressures, so many issues that we face. First and foremost, we need to support each other in this sometimes rough, but mostly beautiful journey."
I admit, I am sensitive around this issue, and perhaps take things in somewhat of a defensive manner, however, I do think that as part of this whole 'let's just be supportive' thing, we need to be careful how we approach these very personal issues. As I have written before, breastfeeding is highly personal and highly emotional. So is birth, and so is pregnancy. For some, it is a rite of passage, and for others, it is a journey to hell. We need to be respectful of each of these journeys, no matter how they differ from ours, and instead of bashing, accusing, or disrespecting our soul sisters, let's engage. Let's talk about things, let's put our fabulously expanded and wise brains together to figure things out, to brainstorm. Let's learn, let's educate, and let's share information. I promise, we've all got a lot to learn, be it in line with the way we live our lives or not.

Yay! And screw the Mom Bashing Club. From an "outside of parenting/ motherhood" perspective, I am sometimes appalled at the shit Moms throw at each other when they should be supporting each other. *Especially* in regards to something like breast feeding– it's silly, and sometimes it's down right mean.
I will admit that 'mom guilt' kills me, too. Not so much the angle of fretting over doing what's best for your child, which is totally understandable, especially when people are a new parent. I am referring to the guilt that many women seem to have in regards to adhering to a particular image of what moms are supposed to be, and feeling guilty if they don't precisely meet that image (which I believe is strongly affected by that Mom Bashing Club). I've seen a shift in this among my own peer group as my friend's children have gotten older, especially among my friends who have endured particular strife in their lives, like messy divorces, etc., and I assume this is because these people have had no choice by to abandon the ideal and reconceptualize what being a good parent means to *them*.
I loathe what I refer to as The Mom Apology: when moms apologize for momentarily straying from society's mommy ideal and showing their own human complexities and weaknesses. I don't loathe it in the sense that I look down at moms when they apologize or feel guilty about certain things. I just find myself wanting to give them a hug.

Izuku's action not only receives praise from All Might, but Ochaco as well. Tenya notices that Izuku's finger, but Katsuki is enraged. He is not only confused about Izuku's new abilities, but enraged at the thought that Izuku had been lying all their lives. Katsuki lashes out in anger at Izuku, but is caught in Mr. Aizawa's capture weapon. Mr. Aizawa warns the students not to make him use his Quirk too much because it causes dry eye. Then he moves on to present the test results which has Izuku placed last. Izuku fears that despite his hard work he has failed out of the class anyway, but this is dispelled when Mr. Aizawa reveals the expulsion rule was a ruse to bring out the best in the class. He dismisses the class and has Izuku sent to Recovery Girl to heal his finger. Aftwards, All Might confronts his pupil's teacher, calling him a liar because he had once expelled an entire class. Eraserhead explains that Izuku is above the zero mark, and he can expel anyone who drops below the zero mark at any time. Recovery Girl heals Izuku's finger, but at the cost of his stamina. The first day of school ends and an exhausted Izuku runs into Tenya and Ochaco, and realizes he has made friends at school. The next day, class 1-A goes through a normal day of class until they reach their Hero Basic Training class. All Might leads the class to combat training, where they will get a chance to wear their hero costumes for the first time. After the class changes into their costumes they gather at Grounds B, the very same training area where the practical test for the entrance exams were held. All Might goes through the rules. The class will be broken into teams of twelve, half heroes and half villains. Villains will guard a nuclear weapon they intend on deploying and the heroes must stop their scheme. If the heroes capture the villains or reach the nuclear core before time runs out, they win. If the villains manage to keep the nuclear core for the whole time or they capture the heroes, they win. The teams are drawn from lots and All Might announces that Team A (Izuku & Ochaco) will face Team D (Katsuki & Tenya). Team D heads inside first and finds the fake missle inside. Still confused, Katsuki asks Tenya about Izuku's quirk and Tenya replies with a question of why Katsuki hates Izuku so much. Five minutes pass and Team A enters the building, but before getting too far they are attacked by Katsuki. His sneak attack only manages to damage half of Izuku's mask, the latter was able to evade while saving Ochaco. Katsuki attacks again, but Izuku catches his swing. Izuku has been taking notes on Katsuki for years with the same notebook the latter burned. Izuku knew that he starts every fight with a right hook and was able to counter. Then Izuku shoulder tosses Katsuki into the ground, garnering praise from his fellow classmates watching from the projection room with All Might. Izuku doesn't back down from Katsuki, telling his former bully that he is no longer the weak and defenseless Deku. Tonight: Izuku is up against Katsuki in their first class with All Might! Can he and Uraraka beat the villain team of Katsuki and Tenya before time runs out? MHA Jukebox: So since tonight's episode will focus on a duel between Deku and Kacchan (as you can tell by the title), I figured I'd play Batman's theme, another hero who famously opposed Superman.

A paranormal romance anthology – Eve Langlais, Kate Douglas, A.C. Arthur
**advance reader copy received via NetGalley**
I am not a huge anthology fan, but this one definitely works. I am giving it an overall 4.0, but the stories definitely varied in detail and character depth. I adore Eve Langlais' wordbuilding, and her shifters are always a delight. The first story, Catch a Tiger, was funny and steamy – something Langlais is well known for, thanks to her Furry United Coalition (FUC) series and many other well-crafted tales. This one features a human bartender and a shifter accountant…wait, accountant? That's right, people, and numbers aren't the only thing he's crunching.
Kate Douglas' Wild Passions is from her erotic paranormal romance series Wolf Games, set in a wolf-focused nature preserve/resort where the employees are all stunning, steamy, and single wolves looking for their forever ladies. This tale is focused around a bachelorette party, with the ladies quickly becoming more interested in the scenery than the impending wedding. It is definitely erotic, so expect super steamy scenes and the occasional ménage. I like the world the author has built, and it is hard to dislike the male characters. The females she tends to portray with varying degrees of strength and issues to overcome, but I think that also adds a little bit of realness to an unreal situation.
Her Perfect Mates was the last story in the anthology, but it definitely ended on a high note. I have not read any of A.C. Arthur's Wolf Mates series books, but this was a steamy ménage with an interesting origin story and even some divine interference. I loved the heroine in this one, a veterinarian with a very healthy appetite, and her own issues to overcome. In this tale both the heroine and hero have their obstacles, but they manage to get through them together.

Watch Channing Tatum Surprise This Gas Station Employee in the Best Possible Way
Photograph by facebook/channing tatum
Through it all, this cashier completely kept her cool
While stopping by a Sunoco gas station during a promotional tour for his upcoming film Logan Lucky, A-lister Channing Tatum made one gas station employee's day by taking a few minutes out of his busy schedule to dance with her.
The cashier, whose name is Beatrice, was not shy about hanging out with Tatum; as soon as he approached the register, she motioned for him to come around the counter so that she could put her arm around him. Beatrice then made small talk with Tatum, who amiably chatted with her behind the counter.
"What're y'all doing here? Just chilling?" she asked him.
"We're actually driving across the country," he replied. Beatrice didn't hesitate in inviting herself along for the ride.
"Why didn't y'all tell me? I could've gotten my clothes together and rolled with you," she said.
After a couple minutes this banter, the two then started an impromptu dance party, grooving to Nas and Lauryn Hill's 1996 hit "If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)." The entire moment was recorded on Facebook Live and posted on Tatum's official page.
Celebrity interactions with fans can often come across as wooden and contrived, but Tatum seems genuinely happy to hang out with Beatrice, who maintains her cool in the presence of the 21 Jump Street star.
Of course, no mention of Channing Tatum in a gas station would be complete without this immortal clip from Magic Mike XXL, when his co-star Joe Manganiello pulled off a similar, but decidedly more risqué, stunt.
Even though Tatum didn't take his shirt off, we're sure that Beatrice appreciated hanging out with him all the same. (But if you want to tap into your inner Manganiello, sculpt a laser-cut torso in just six weeks with Men's Health's Anarchy Abs workout.)

For decades, rumors of top-secret "magic" manuals swirled within CIA circles.
The long-lost guides were said to have been written by a prominent magician, but many officers dismissed them as myth, believing them too fantastical to be true.
But in 2007, retired CIA officer Robert Wallace unearthed an extraordinary archived file and is now making its contents available to the public for the first time.
The file contained once highly-classified manuals written in the early 1950s by American magician John Mulholland that detailed the secrets of magic that could enhance the art of espionage.
It was thought that every copy of his reports had been destroyed in 1973.
But Wallace obtained surviving copies and, with intelligence historian H. Keith Melton, combined the two manuals — one examining sleight of hand techniques and the other on covert signaling — into one book, recently released by publisher HarperCollins.
Complete with illustrations, "The Official C.I.A. Manual of Trickery and Deception" describes a wide range of Mulholland's Houdini-like tricks designed to help spies pull off a number of clandestine operations, such as slipping poison into an enemy's drink or surreptitiously removing documents.
Other magician-historians previously established Mulholland's connection to the CIA and printed portions of his reports – and one, Michael Edwards, said he received full copies of the reports from the CIA in 2003. But the authors say their book is the first to publish the historical documents in their entirety.
Mulholland's manual describes how a spy could use the friendly gesture of lighting another person's cigarette to covertly drop a pill into the person's drink
'Magic' Manual Was Part of CIA Effort to Counter Russians
"The idea to overlap the tradecraft of espionage and the rich tradecraft of magic is very innovative and certainly established a pattern of activity and relationships that continue to make the country stronger," said Melton, a specialist in clandestine technology who has written several books on spycraft. "What we learn about is how to use deception, and how deception can be tactically employed to support the work of intelligence officers in the field."
Peter Earnest, a 36-year veteran of the CIA who now serves as executive director of the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC, said though he knew that the agency consulted with individuals of varying expertise through the years, until Wallace and Melton's book, he didn't know it had worked with John Mulholland, a top American magician at the time.
"It has significance. It was very tightly held," he said. "It's an interesting piece of agency history."
Wallace said Mulholland's work was commissioned as part of a larger secret CIA project called MKULTRA. Launched in 1953, the Cold War-era program's goal was to understand and counter claims that the Russians had mastered mind control and other unorthodox interrogation and surveillance techniques.
Convinced that the Soviets employed more sophisticated tactics, the CIA charged MKULTRA officers with exploring all kinds of unconventional areas. Some projects researched LSD and other exotic chemicals; others probed the possibility of honing ESP and other paranormal skills.
To stealthily remove a document from a desk, Mulholland recommends dotting the bottom of a book with a special wax. When the book is lowered on top of the paper, it will affix the paper to the book and allow the spy to remove the paper without attracting attention.
CIA Convinced the Russians Employed More Sophisticated Techniques
Wallace and Melton's book describes how MKULTRA chemists attempted to develop "invisible" inks and poisons derived from shellfish and cobra venom. It even details several creative plots targeting Cuban leader Fidel Castro, including dusting his boots with a chemical that would make his beard fall off to mar his "macho" image.
Melton said that though these schemes may sound surreal, at the time the CIA believed it needed to cover all its bases and explore all possibilities, no matter how far-fetched they seemed.
"This wasn't done for fun, this wasn't done for amusement, this was activity undertaken by the leadership of this nation for its defense and protection," he said. It was "a time when the U.S. government faced a serious international threat from the spread of communism, and the government turned to the CIA to develop techniques and capabilities that could sustain world freedom."
Mulholland describes how a modified fuel tank, only partially filled with gas, could conceal a person in a special cavity.
While Mulholland's contribution wasn't the central focus of MKULTRA, Wallace said it was still significant. As scientists developed new materials that could be used in clandestine operations, officers needed equally clandestine ways to deliver them.
"Who could teach you covert ways of delivering small objects or powders?" he asked. "Magicians."
Mulholland Wanted to Establish Magic as a Fine Art
Ben Robinson, magician and author of "The MagiCIAn: John Mulholland's Secret Life," said Mulholland's manuals marked just one part of his more than 20-year involvement with the CIA.
As the CIA's "magician in residence," Mulholland was also tasked with exploring the paranormal and distinguishing real psychics from imposters, Robinson said.
But Robinson emphasized that the CIA fascinated Mulholland because "his entire life's purpose was to spread the gospel that magic was an art, like ballet or painting — one of the fine arts."
"Consequently, his work for the intelligence world was the pinnacle of that artistic achievement because he was practicing the magician's craft in a completely hidden milieu," he said.
Knowing that his audience was composed of those mostly unfamiliar with his craft, in his manuals Mulholland described his techniques as plainly as possible.
Mulholland's advice was surprisingly simple, Wallace said, emphasizing that the conjurer's feat is accomplished with the most common objects. Unassuming items like lead No. 2 pencils and matchbooks make the difference in many a Mulholland magic trick.
But while there isn't evidence that any of Mulholland's tricks were executed by CIA officers, Wallace said the principles and techniques have been applied in field operations.
"What we do know is that many of the concealment techniques, as well as covert signals and passing of documents, were regularly used in the field," he said. "They are parallel to what he wrote in the manual."
Given both the magician and the spy's concern with secretive communication, concealment and misdirection, the authors said Mulholland's guidance had a lasting impact.
The Magician and the Spy Both Deceive and Misdirect
"Prior to that point, I believe that people kind of intuitively had adopted the principles of deception without realizing that what they were doing was essentially exactly what magicians do," Melton said.
The magician and the spy face different stakes — one risks reputation, the other his life. And while the magician can control the stage, lighting and the audience's line of sight, the spy must work in an unpredictable environment, Melton said.
Still, he emphasized, both must plan a process of deception and misdirection to successfully execute a performance.
"The lesson of Mulholland is that events don't happen as single isolated events. ?They become part of a clandestine choreography that when successful allows the operation to take place without any awareness of surveillance or bystanders," he said. "Mulholland taught that the world is a stage and everywhere you perform you can prepare it so that there's more chance for success."
But the spy is unlike the magician in one more key way: He never gets to take his bow.
"When it's successful," Melton said. "Silence replaces applauses."
To deliver a special liquid, Mulholland suggested inserting a small container in the fold of a wallet. When the wallet is closed and squeezed the liquid would be discharged.

Real friendship or love is not manufactured or achieved by an act of will or intention. Friendship is always an act of recognition. In the moment of friendship, two souls suddenly recognize each other. It could be a meeting on the street, or at a party or a lecture, or just a simple, banal introduction, then suddenly there is the flash of recognition and the embers of kinship grow. There is an awakening between you, a sense of ancient knowing. - John O'Donohue
The real test of friendship is: Can you literally do nothing with the other person? Can you enjoy together those moments of life that are utterly simple? They are the moments people look back on at the end of life and number as their most sacred experiences. - Eugene Kennedy
Among the privileges of friendship is the opportunity to share some of the deeper feelings of human life – the joys and sorrows. Whatever happens to us a friend must know. We do not trust ourselves to read an event correctly unless his eyes read and interpret with us. Pain is lessened when shared with a friend who cushions the blow. Joys are double when shared with a friend. Then two hearts are happy. Two people laugh and sing. - Unknown
Do not mistake friendship for a license to tell the truth. More pain has been inflicted by indiscriminate truth telling than by lies. Honesty too often means being hurtful and wounding someone. As long as you keep true counsel with yourself, it does not hurt if you dissemble with a friend. - Unknown

Residential schools were a huge part of Aboriginal history. Duncan Campbell Scott created the schools to get rid of Indians. He wanted to kill the Indian in the child. Children were taken from their families and put in the residential schools. At the school, they were taught the white ways. The children were abused sexually, mentally and physically. The schools robbed the children of their culture and traditions and they were forbidden to speak their language. When the children did return home, their lives were changed. They could never live as they once did because of the effects of the school. The schools had long term effects on many of the students. The schools caused many to turn to drugs, alcohol, or even suicide. I chose to write about Residential schools because of their big significance in Aboriginal history. For many years, white society didn't want to admit they made a mistake with the schools. Now the survivors of Residential schools are being repaid for what they lost. It will never change what happened at the schools but it's an admittance that white society was wrong. I have listened a woman tell her story about her time at a Residential school. As I watched her, I could see how much the school had affected her life and even though it was a long time ago, she was still hurting. Her story affected me as well and while I was listening I felt sadness. The woman said that she thinks about her time at the school everyday. The things that happened at Residential schools stay with the students for their whole life and everyday they remember and have to deal with the pain. I'll never forget the woman's story and how it made me feel.
I continued,
"When we arrived at the school me and my brothers were separated and I was taken to a little room down the hall. In that room, I was bathed because Indians were thought of to be dirty and have lice. They gave me a dull grey dress to wear and worst of all they cut my hair. I had been growing it for years and it was almost down to my knees. I was taken to a big room where the other children were and we had supper. Upon seeing my brothers I went running over to them. Only to be dragged unwillingly back to my seat and told I could not speak with them. As I sat with the other girls, I decided to engage in their conversation. I was hit and told I wasn't allowed to speak my own language. That night I cried myself to sleep."

I replied,
"Yes, after a while I had made some friends at the school who helped me learn the things I had to and I began to write letters home to my parents. I was always so excited to receive a letter from them. One day I went to pick up my letter. As I read, a knot suddenly appeared in my throat and tears rolled down my cheeks. It was a letter from my father telling me that my mother had gotten very ill and passed away. I started to cry. Thoughts ran through my head, it can't & true. I should have been there. I never got to say good bye. I ran to my room and lay on my bed for hours that night and I got only 2 hours of sleep. It just hurt so much to know that it had been so long since I had seen my mother and I would never see her again."

Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. (Acts 2:44-45)
I have spent the past couple of days exploring the countryside of Lancaster Pennsylvania. As I went through the farmlands, this passage of scripture came to mind. In our fast paced lifestyle, we so often forget as Christians we are meant to be a community of believers. When you look around the Lancaster area, you see this first hand. The structured day to day life the Amish lead should be an example to all Christians that our one common belief (Jesus as our Savior) should be used to unite people around us.
There is a simplicity of life in this part of the country that should not be a stranger to any of us, yet is. When coming on this trip, I was not going to bring my cell phone at all, then decided to simply bring it and have it in my bag on do not disturb, just in case of emergencies. The past 24 hours of not checking my phone every 30 seconds, of not having to check in on Facebook and Twitter and Instagram constantly and of simply enjoying what is around me has been refreshing.
It has also helped me understand the above referenced scripture even more. While it is speaking of material possessions, I think you can look as this as also giving your time and energy to those around you in need as well. So often, we simply want to write a check and then ignore the problem. While financial resources are needed for any ministry (as a Director of my local Rescue Mission I understand this need on a daily basis), there also needs to be a recognition of needs beyond the material. Dividing our time and efforts with simply worldly things erodes our spiritual gifts.
We need to have a better understanding of the spiritual needs of people in our communities. When was the last time you visited a shelter, nursing home or addiction center and spoke with someone about their relationship with God? Or better yet, have you ever?
Community does not just means bake sales and car washes. It is more than just cool concerts and puppet shows. It is sometimes stepping up and "getting dirty" for the Gospel. It means going out of your comfort zone to tell people about the love Christ has for them. It means maybe not trying to solve your areas with problems with just your checkbook.
These past couple days have shown me what true community with God is. As we passed by the horse drawn buggies and bicycles, I have to wonder if we are the ones who have it wrong. With our laptops, cell phones and tablets, our big screen TVs and $15 movie tickets, maybe we have been blinded from our true mission here on earth: to help people come to God. The countryside here is gorgeous, with just miles and miles of rolling farmland. Almost all the crops here go back into the community, so those who might not have much can have something. There is a work ethic I see here stronger than most I have seen, because the children are taught to work from an early age. There are not coddled with Xboxes and Playstations, but instead are taught the value of work and family.
I wonder if the technology we so rely on has made us disconnected from God. Has made us lost the sense of community we should have. I have 400+ "friends" on Facebook and 1400+ followers on Twitter, yet remain silent and partially blind to the needs and concerns of my small hometown. Why? Because the sense of community that once was the standard in towns like mine across the country has been replaced with seeing how many "likes" the town's page can get.
This thought will remain with me for a long time. I am not foolish enough to believe I will abandon technology in my life (although the farms and families seem to do just fine here without it). But I will start examining just how much of my time and effort should be used in different ways to make my community better. I would encourage all of you to do to the same.

Good flight in economy.
The flight attendants were very attentive and very smiley. Some of them wore Christmas hat during the boarding. They distributed waters and ice cream/little snacks few times during the flight.
Electric and USB plugs at the seats.
Thanks for this FR.
Indeed a good experience with those "duo" seats and a catering that's pretty high end compared to what you get on UA, AC or LH.
Nice to see there were some special touches for Christmas!
Yes, it was a nice touch for Christmas. I found that AF really improved in customer service during the flights. The flight attendants are way better than before.
The DUO seats are very nice. The drawback is that you are at the far end of the plane so you have 250-300 people that leave the plane before you which can be a problem for passing the custom. But for 20 euros more each, it's worth it.
I forgot to mention that my wife and I don't eat mushrooms and one of the dishes of the meal contained mushroom. So my wife asked a flight attendant if she couldn't save us the other meal. She agreed, which was very nice.
Thanks you for your FR.
I have a question: I will take the 777 300 ER and the last 4 rows are duo seats too. We selected the 1st row just behind the 3 seats but it seems the 2d row (46) offers more legroom(I read your return flight too). I still can change. What would be your advice? Thanks
Thank you for your comment.
I would advice to take the second row. It's nicer, more room on the side and the tablet is not shifted. Not sure for the legrooms but you are more room on the side. Hope it helps.

The interventions provided from programs, such as the one from Strategic Training, may keep the bully of today from becoming the batterer of tomorrow.
(Dr. Tracey Adams)
In addition, the research has shown that bullying can lead to; domestic violence, criminal behavior, drug addiction or early usage, alcohol addiction or early usage, early pregnancy and many other larger social issues that confront us as a country.
The National Association of School Psychologists reported that every day more than 160,000 American school children miss school because they fear being bullied.
Based on the research it appears that early intervention is imperative to disrupting the link between the aggressive behaviors of young adolescents and their subsequent involvement in partner violence.
Staff behavior is the key element in effective behavior interventions.
Consistent staff response to aggression tells young people which behaviors are unacceptable.
Consistent staff reporting is necessary to make discipline effective.
We provide a proven program to staff, parents, students and the community. We have authored a book that provides all the necessary information to effectively deal with bullying, internet safety, strangers, and other issues facing our school children today. We are available for in-service training, PTA meetings, community meetings and other venues, Call for additional valuable information!
STC has been conducting research and participated in grants to show the correlation between bullying behavior and domestic violence.

Ok so I setup the router to only transmit wireless N and to use WPA2 only.When I try to connect using the windows zero configuration utility it gets stuck validating identity.I recently bought a new Linksys wireless router and after setting it up with basic WEP security, I tried to logon from my laptop and was successful! So then I tried to connect from my desktop computer that has a wireless USB adapter attached to it and I ended up getting this error message: Fabulous! I checked my settings on the wireless router to make sure I didn't accidentally setup certificate security, but found no such thing.Also, since I was able to connect from my laptop with no problem, it led me to believe it was something wrong with my desktop.If the box was checked, then that was why you were getting the "unable to find a certificate to log you on to the network" message because Windows is looking for one, but your wireless router is not setup for certificate security. Once I unchecked that box and tried to reconnect to the wireless network, everything worked fine! To fix, you go into the properties page of your wireless connection, go to "Wireless Networks" tab and then to Properties of the chosen wireless network you are trying to connect to.By default, XP will re-authenticate with the user credential after the user logs-on (there is no way to do computer-only with XP, I believe).
I suspect a firmware upgrade probably fixes that behaviour. If you want to accept both computer credentials and user credentials you'll need to name both "Domain Comptuers" and "Domain Users" in your policy.Select your encryption type from the "Network Authentication" and "Data Encryption" drop downs.Uncheck "The key is provided for me automatically" and enter and confirm your Network key.Because I have a switch to disable the Wifi power, this seemed easier/safer, and it worked. thanks, Solution: remove whatever "preferred networks" are displayed in wireless netwok card's property page, n click ok. happens when u switch to a new router or use a new different SSID.cheere Hadn't read all solutions so I apologize if I'm repeating someone but all I did was go back to Belkin router setup utility, or (192.168.2.1) and clicked "wi fi protected setup".After about 30 minutes of fiddling around with various settings, I was able to figure out what the problem was.

This game, supported the movie wherever King Kong is that the main character, can bring the atmosphere of the movie to you, with the symbols that you're aware of from the movie, and conjointly with accompanying sounds and music. The introduction itself is like entering the film. Then you'll begin these five reels, twenty pay line TONY88 game, wherever you may even be spoiled with 2 modes of playing, and with bonus games in every of them. Within the game, you may have the Big City mode and the Jungle mode. What's going to conjointly surprise you is that the symbols utilized in the 2 modes are different. However, which means you've got selection at your disposal, thus you can select which mode to play, and so you may have the symbols specific for it. Yet one more capability you may like is that if each modes appeal to you, you'll switch between them, and then bring entertainment to the fullest. In Big City mode, enjoy the City Tower, which is that the bonus game for this mode; in it, planes will come to you and produce prizes. In Jungle mode, you may have the Skull Island as the bonus; there, you may face and fight creatures, in fact once more with prizes for you. As you play you may feel the 2 worlds, the world of civilization and the wild world, and you may be able to compare them in Singapore Online Slot.
As you play the Kong game in Singapore Online Slot, the wins pay left to right. Kong is that the Wild, and the logo is that the Scatter. The Scatter pays when found in anyplace on the reels. With five Wilds, you may have the prospect of increasing your line bet 3,000 times. With five Scatters, the bet is upped 100x. And there's another symbol, Anne Darrow, which can reward you with a rise of 1,000 times your line bet. These are the game's jackpots that you just will try to bag,
The two modes look differently coloured. Within the Jungle mode, the reels are dark, there'll be the typical noises of the jungle, and drums sounding. Within the Big City, the theme is colourful, with the audio recording of jazz, applicable for New York of the 1930s. As you win, the photos of the movie characters will become video clips. Each of the graphics and the animations are appealing, and the same goes for the sound quality.
This game doesn't go without bonuses as most of the game in Singapore Online Slot are with extra featuresa. In Jungle mode, the 2 bonuses are the Wild Jungle re-spins, with three re-spins and a Wild that stays frozen till the feature ends. The Skull Island is that the alternative Jungle mode bonus, with a task for you that involves a choice: make a choice from thirteen locations found on the mystery island. If you choose three dinosaurs, or three King Kong, your wins are profitable.
There are 2 bonuses expecting you in Big City mode. These are re-spins, with three re-spins activated once you get three a minimum of Wilds. Then there's City Tower bonus: in it, you want to knock down three towers, and for every successful knockdown you may be rewarded with a money prize.

It's obviously been a long time since I've had young kids. As most of know, Ben is deployed and it's just Sam and Taylor hanging out until he comes home. If you read the literature written by the deployment pros, they will tell you that you may see a change in your child's behavior while dad (or mom) is away. As Sam can attest, the experts in this case, are correct.
This child can go from being the sweetest thing on the face of the earth, to closely resembling Satan's Spawn in just a matter of minutes. There are times where the horns come up and the fangs come out. Sometimes I swear of all my children, Sam and I are the most alike. Patience is not a virtue we possess. As we were going to dinner the other night, heading towards a nice little Amish Restaurant, Taylor begins the incessant whining that drives us NUTS. She wanted to go to McDonald's. It went something like this....in a three year old whine..."I wannnnaaaaaa go to McDonald's.....I WANNA GO TO MCDONALD'S.....I WANNA GO TO MCDONALD'S!!!" (repeat this 35 times) All three of us tried our best to say something, anything that would make her stop, including bodily harm to that damn clown. We went through the entire gamut. From reasoning, to bribing, to threatening her very existence. Nothing worked. As we were walking into the restaurant she was still chanting her love for McDonald's. Sam told us to go ahead and go in because she was going to have a little talk with Tay ...uh boy I didn't want to witness that. I'm never sure if a talk is a talk or if the talk may include a swat on the butt. I didn't want to know. I'm not sure what was said, but Tay ended up turning back into that nice little girl we love to be around.
Here's Dr Grandma Bobbie's professional opinion on the entire thing.....Small children have no idea how to articulate what's going on. They recognize the change and have no way to say "hey, I noticed that there have been some changes around here lately and well, I was wondering if there are more to come, or if I can just go with the flow on this one? Change scares me and I may need your help putting my mind at ease, so please tuck me in and maybe lay down with me for a few minutes and make me feel secure in the midst of this change" OK if a three year old said that, we would be asking Harvard to allow them to speak at commencement. However, because they can't say that, they act it out and we suffer for a few days or weeks, until their "change" then becomes normal and they are then off to the next shenanigan.
Below is a quote from someone who has a mommy blog...I found it to be so honest and funny....
"About two months after Leta turned three years old (during one of her epic, inimitable body-throwing tantrums) I remember thinking that I would rather have my vagina sewn shut than have another kid. Is that too gross?"
Fortunately, for pro-creation's sake, A sweet acting child has the opposite effect. It can be a moment where for a split second you believe you could handle ten more just like her. I'm very thankful this is not my decision to make. I need to remind everyone, especially her mama, "this too shall pass." Every stage brings a new behavior that they will annoy you and some behaviors that will make you swoon and fall in love all over again. Hang in there and never give up. The good outweighs the bad. I told Ben he needs to hurry home and resume his disciplinarian role, he said he would after he hugged her for the first few months he was home.

I'm Still On Break
Class from 9-10am. Bowling P.E. from 10 - 11am. Work-out at the ARC, lunch at the DC, nap at home and sit around doing whatever I want (doing laundry, drawing cartoons, playing guitar and going to a flag football playoff game at night (which we won bt dubs)). That was my day, and notice how the word "study" is not included. Excellent.

Joseph F. Smith followed in the tradition of Brigham Young, John Taylor and Wilford Woodruff in naming one or more of his sons to be Apostles. In fact, the majority of Apostles he called were related to him or other previous Apostles. Three of those he called went on to become prophet.
Called to be Apostles by Joseph F. Smith:
Hyrum M. Smith, George Albert Smith,
Charles W. Penrose, Orson F. Whitney,
George F. Richards, David O. McKay,
Anthony W. Ivins, Joseph Fielding Smith,
James E. Talmage, Stephen L. Richards,
Richard R. Lyman
(December 11, 1821 - March 27, 1910)
Second Counselor - October 17, 1901
Winder was born and raised in England. He heard about the church while working at a shoe store. He and his wife were baptized and moved to Utah in 1853. he was able to set up a franchise of successful tanneries. He was renowned as a successful businessman in every profession he tried. He was a business mentor to Heber J. Grant.
During the polygamy raids of the 1880's, members would put all their money under Winder's name so it couldn't be confiscated. He had a reputation of being trustworthy and financially sound. He was also involved with many charities.
Winder was called into the First Presidency but he was never ordained an Apostle. Having him in the First Presidency may have aided members in trusting the church with their tithing money, knowing that it would be put to good use.
(March 21, 1872 - January 23, 1918)
Apostle - October 24, 1901
Hyrum was the eldest son of Joseph F. Smith, and the first Apostle called when Joseph F. took over as prophet. He then served as president of the European mission from 1913-1916, but activities for that mission had to be suspended due to World War I.
A few months before his father died, Hyrum died from a ruptured appendix at the young age of 45. His grandson M. Russell Ballard is one of the current members of the Quorum of the Twelve. (In fact, both of M. Russell Ballard's grandfathers were Apostles).
(April 4, 1870 - April 4, 1951)
Apostle - October 8, 1903
President of Q12 - June 21, 1943
Prophet/President - May 21, 1945
George was the son of Apostle John Henry Smith, grandson of Apostle George A. Smith, therefore a second cousin once removed to Joseph F. Smith. John Henry Smith was still an Apostle when George was called to join him in the Q12.
George graduated from what would later be known as BYU and also got a degree from the future University of Utah. He was active in Republican politics and campaigned for William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt.
He married Lucy Woodruff, granddaughter of Wilford, in 1892. They both then served in the Southern states mission. He made his living as a salesman at ZCMI and became an Apostle at age 33.
He became the 8th President of the LDS church right as World War II was winding down. He made it a priority to send aid to the wore-torn areas in Europe. He emphasized missionary work and spreading the Gospel.
He was plagued by health problems throughout his life. He received permanent damage to his vision from the sun's glare while he worked as a surveyor. He had bouts of depression, and he was diagnosed with lupus. He ultimately died from the effects of lupus on his 81st birthday.
(February 4, 1832 - May 16, 1925)
Apostle - July 7, 1904
Second Counselor (JFS, HJG) - December 7, 1911
First Counselor - March 10, 1921
Penrose was another Englishman, born and raised in London. He only had one wife, Lucetta, but they had 15 children together. He joined the church when he was 18 and wound serving a six-year mission, preaching all over the United Kingdom. In 1861, he and his family migrated to Utah.
He served in the Utah legislature, and he introduced the bill in 1880 that allowed women to serve in any public office. He was a talented writer and wrote the lyrics for a few of the hymns, including "God of Our Fathers." He was a BYU professor of theology.
He was called to be an Apostle after the sudden death of Abraham Woodruff, and seven years later, he became part of Joseph F. Smith's First Presidency. When Smith died, the new prophet Heber J. Grant retained him as 2nd counselor, and he made him 1st counselor when Anthon H. Lund died in 1921.
(July 1, 1855 - May 16, 1931)
Apostle - April 9, 1906
Orson was the son of Horace Whitney and Helen Kimball. Helen was the daughter of Heber C. Kimball, and she became a plural wife to Joseph Smith. After Joseph died, the 16-year-old widow was soon courted by Horace.
Orson made his living as a reporter and editor for the Deseret News, and he later taught English and Theology at the college in Logan that eventually become Utah State University. He served as assistant Church Historian until he was called to be an Apostle.
After Matthias F. Cowley and John W. Taylor resigned from the Q12 over polygamy issues, and Marriner W. Merrill died, there were three vacancies in the Quroum. Orson, George F. Richards, and David O. McKay were called the same day, but Orson had seniority.
Orson was a writer and a poet. He wrote a biography of his grandfather Heber C. Kimball and wrote the lyrics for tsome of the hymns including "Savior Redeemer of My Soul." He died from the flu at age 75.
(February 23, 1861 - August 8, 1950)
Apostle - April 9, 1906
President of Q12 - May 21, 1945
George was the son of Apostle Franklin D. Richards, great-nephew to Apostle Willard Richards, and he'd later be the father of Apostle LeGrand Richards. There are three instances of three generations being in the Quroum of the Twelve - George A., John Henry, and George Albert Smith; Amasa, Francis M., and Richard Lyman; and Franklin D., George F., and LeGrand Richards.
George worked as a railway clerk, farmer and school board member. He did a term in the Utah Legislature in 1899.
He was one of the three called to be an Apostle at the April 1906 General Conference. While an Apostle, he also served as the Salt Lake City Temple president. After Heber J. Grant became prophet, and he instructed the church to remove all references to vengeance and retaliation from church sermons, hymns and litertaure, Richards was the key in implementing the changes in the temple ceremony.
Richards was known as a practical man in his sermons, using every-day events to illustrate larger Gospel principles. He became President of the Quorum of the Twelve when Pres. Grant died and George Albert Smith was made prophet, but he died the year before Smith.
(September 8, 1873 - January 18, 1970)
Apostle - April 9, 1906
Second Counselor (HJG, GS) - October 11, 1934
President of Q12 - August 8, 1950
Prophet/President - April 9, 1951
McKay was only 32 when he was ordained an Apostle, and at almost 64 years, he was an Apostle or First Presidency member longer than anyone in LDS Church history.
McKay was the son of a Scottish immigrant and Welsh immigrant, born in Utah. He worked as a principal at LDS Weber Stake Academy and taught religion and literature classes. He was the youngest of the three Apostles called at the April 1906 General Conference. He toured the world and dedicated a few countries (including China) for missionary work.
In 1934, after the death Anthony W, Ivins, McKay was called into the First Presidency. He served in that capacity under Presidents Heber J. Grant and George Albert Smith.
McKay became prophet in 1951 and is largely credited for bring the LDS church into the modern era. He oversaw the Priesthood correlation program to ensure the structure in every ward was the same worldwide. He would grant national interviews and build coalitions with other religious groups. He was consulted on 1954's The Ten Commandments. He coined the phrase "Every member a missionary." In his 19 years, the church grew from 1.1 to 2.9 million members. He was an outspoken opponent of communism.
(September 16, 1852 - September 23, 1934)
Apostle - October 6, 1907
Second Counselor - March 10, 1921
First Counselor - May 25, 1925
I'm noticing a lot of relatives being called in this era. Ivins was a first cousin to fellow Apostle Heber J. Grant when Pres. Smith called him. He was also the son-in-law of Erastus Snow.
He served his mission in Mexico and then became active in the Democratic party. He served exploratory missions to help colonize areas in Arizona and New Mexico. He was the first stake president of Juarez, Mexico.
He was 55 when he was called to be an Apostle and later served in Grant's First Presidency. He died at age 82.
(July 19, 1876 - July 2, 1972)
Apostle - April 7, 1910
President of Q12 - April 9, 1951
Counselor - October 29, 1965
Prophet/president - January 23, 1970
Joseph F. Smith called two of his sons to be Apostles, the second being Joseph Fielding Smith. JFS was the first son by his father's second wife, and due to the polygamy prosecutions in the 1880's, JFS wouldn't see his parents for years at a time and was raised mostly by his sisters and his father's other wives. JFS and Hyrum M. Smith were the first set of brothers to serve in the Q12 since Luke & Lyman Johnson.
JFS married Emyla Shurtliff in 1898, and they had two daughters, but Emyla died from complications with her third pregnancy in 1908. A few months later he married Ethel Reynolds, and at age 33, he was called to be an Apostle. He had nine more children with Ethel, but she died from a cerebral hemorrage in 1937. A few months later, he married Jessie Evans, who died the year before he died.
JFS became President of the Q12 when McKay became prophet, and he served in that capacity the next 19 years. He was also made an additional counselor in the First Presidency when McKay and his counselors were getting older and suffering health problems and couldn't fully perform all of their duties.
JFS was the oldest person in church history to become prophet, at age 93. He was able to serve for 2 1/2 years before his own death.
(September 21, 1862 - July 27, 1933)
Apostle - December 8, 1911
Talmage was born in England, making him the third Englishman that Joseph F. Smith called into the Q12 or First Presidency. Talmage was baptized at age 10, and he and his family moved to Utah in 1877.
Talmage was an academic and specialized in chemistry, geology and received the first diploma from BYU's science department. He wound up getting a PhD from llinois Wesleyan. He was a science professor at BYU and went on to be president of the future University of Utah. He wrote several religious books, including The Articles of Faith (1899) and Jesus the Christ (1915).
He brought a real cerebral, academic approach to the Gospel when called to be an Apostle at age 49. He died at only age 70.
(June 18, 1879 - May 19, 1959)
Apostle - January 18, 1917
First Counselor - April 9, 1951
Stephen was the grandson of Willard Richards, who'd served in Brigham Young's First Presidency, but Willard died before Stephen was born. More relatives in the Q12. Stephen also married George A. Smith's granddaughter Irene Smith Merrill.
Stephen worked as a law professor at the University of Utah when he was called to be an Apostle, and when Pres. McKay became prophet, Stephen was his first counselor. He died at age 79.
(November 23, 1870 - December 31, 1963)
Apostle - April 7, 1918
Excommunicated - November 12, 1943
Rebaptized - 1954
After Pres. Smith son Hyrum died, he called Richard Lyman, son of Apostle Francis Lyman. His grandmother was George A. Smith's sister. Pres. Smith himself ordained Richard an elder when he was 21, and Pres. Smith married Richard to hs wife Amy Brown. Richard was the last Apostle Pres. Smith called before he died. Amy Brown Lyman would eventually become President of the General Relief Society.
Around 1925, he entered a secret polygamous relationship with Anne Hegsted. They were able to keep their relationship secret until 1943. Richard didn't feel like he'd done anything wrong, but he was excommunicated for adultery. Not even his wife was aware of the relationship. He's the last Apostle to ever get excommunicated from the LDS church. Sis. Lyman eventually asked to be released from her calling.
He was rebaptized in 1954 but his full Priesthood blessings were only restored posthumously.
