'Tis the Season!!!



Tonight, I attended a musical performance featuring a number of local choirs. The first narrator stood up startled me when he said, "In this time of the year, when we celebrate the birth of Christ. . ." WAIT! WHAT? Christmas was months ago, Bro.

Then I remembered, modern scripture has revealed that Christ was born on April 6th (D&C 20:1). This is why Christ commanded that His Church be physically reorganized on this date in 1830.

As we approach this commemorative date, LDS congregations will gather in chapels and meeting houses across the world to receive counsel and commandment from living prophets; These general church authorities have been called and given priesthood authority to preach the restored gospel of Christ and be special witness of Him on earth, acting in his name. The 179th Annual General Conference of the Church will be held on Saturday and Sunday, April 4-5, 2009 starting at 10am MST. Speakers will include the First Presidency and other General Authorities and general officers of the Church.

* Let's say you wanted your friend in Thailand when and where they would be able to see conference. You can see the broadcast schedule pdf for worldwide broadcast times here. They can also watch and listen to it live at LDS.org.

* Now let's say that you want to listen to your favorite talk ASAP after the conference has ended. Find out when those resources will become available by clicking on this resource.


Peace be with you.

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...
