A loud cheering crowd such as you would hear at a rock concert. There is no music on this clip, just cheering and crowd sounds
Fantastic sound. Many thanks.
Rather spookily echoing Benjaminharveydesign's comment, I will be using it for Hedwig and the Angry Inch too.
Used this for a sound effect in a production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch. It was supposed to sound like there was a rock concert across the street. Added some reverb and it worked great!
Great sound. It loops ok... I might see whether cropping it helps to loop even better.
I plan to have this on loop at our "local Oscars" red carpet ceremony at a school dance.
I am looking at using this for a video of a United States Sailor being honored at Camden Yards. I don't want to hear the announcer so I'll be subbing in this crowd sound. Thank you very much I needed this.

Bummer: Electric Cars Heading To Trash Bin (Again)
Of course, they'll have to be pushed there since they can't travel very far under their own power
(Reuters) Recent moves by Japan's two largest automakers suggest that the electric car, after more than 100 years of development and several brief revivals, still is not ready for prime time – and may never be.
In the meantime, the attention of automotive executives in Asia, Europe and North America is beginning to swing toward an unusual but promising new alternate power source: hydrogen.
The reality is that consumers continue to show little interest in electric vehicles, or EVs, which dominated U.S. streets in the first decade of the 20th century before being displaced by gasoline-powered cars.
Despite the promise of "green" transportation – and despite billions of dollars in investment, most recently by Nissan Motor Co – EVs continue to be plagued by many of the problems that eventually scuttled electrics in the 1910s and more recently in the 1990s. Those include high cost, short driving range and lack of charging stations.
Even most climate astrologers weren't interested in purchasing these vehicles, including the Chevy Firestarter, er, Volt. What's the point of spending quite a bit of money for a vehicle that won't go very far per charge, and tends to be tiny? Sure, Warmists would be saving the planet from boiling, but they've never had much interest in practicing what they preach. Why spend $45k on a Volt when one can purchase a load Civic for quite a bit less, and actually be able to drive somewhere? And people aren't particularly enthused by EVs which could catch on fire in their garages. Nor getting stranded because there are no charging stations. Driving an EV requires the driver to become the most anal of travelers, planning each and every trip down to the second, even if that trip is simply to work, the grocery store, or the movies.
Eventually, perhaps EVs will be viable (of course, where's the power for them coming from?). In the meantime, hybrids are the best alternative. Of course, most are still low powered, and cannot perform many functions that gas only vehicles with big engines are needed for.

Eric G. Wilson Questions Happiness in Feb. 19 Presentation at LVC
Lebanon Valley College will host Dr. Eric G. Wilson for a presentation titled "Against Happiness," February 19 at 7 p.m. in Leedy Theater of Mund College Center. The lecture is part of the HAPPINESS Colloquium Series.
Wilson asserts that melancholia is necessary for any thriving culture. He argues that it is the muse of great literature, painting, music, and innovation – the force underlying original insight.
"I am afraid that our American culture's overemphasis on happiness at the expense of sadness might be dangerous, a wanton forgetting of an essential part of a full life. To desire happiness only in a world undoubtedly tragic is to become inauthentic," said Wilson.
Wilson, an English professor at Wake Forest University, is the author of "Against Happiness: In Praise of Melancholy" (2008), an L.A. Times bestseller. "Against Happiness" was featured on national and international media channels including NBC's "Today Show," NPR's "All Things Considered," Newsweek, the Chicago Tribune, and The New York Times. "Against Happiness" has been translated into nine languages.
HAPPINESS is a year-long integrated series of guest speakers, roundtable discussions, films and courses that will consider the meaning and importance of happiness as a psychological, physiological, social and cultural phenomenon. It involves presentations by speakers from a number of disciplines who approach the theme from the standpoints of the arts, the wellness of body and mind, the demands of a consumer economy, the expectations and duties of political life, and the broad philosophical questions of human flourishing.

Support coalesces around GOP's temporary fix to debt ceiling crisis
The Obama White House said Tuesday it will not oppose a GOP-led House plan to raise the national debt ceiling for 90 days. Many firebrand fiscal conservatives, too, appear willing to go along. But the plan carries risks for both parties.
J. Scott Applewhite/AP/File
Democrats and Republicans appear ready to postpone a fight over raising the national debt ceiling, currently slated for late February, averting until at least mid-May a struggle with potentially calamitous economic implications until the spring.
But what top lawmakers decide about how exactly to go about doing so looks to make the next 90 days pivotal for both parties.
For Democrats, how to achieve a short-term increase matters greatly for President Obama's second-term agenda, which could be bogged down in months of fiscal combat. For the Republican majority in the House, the outcome of their debt ceiling gambit could lead to bitter infighting if conservative lawmakers feel betrayed again by GOP leadership.
House Republicans want to force Senate Democrats to produce a budget – an effort to make them politically own the government's large deficits. To do that, Republicans are attaching "no budget, no pay" legislation to a temporary suspension of the debt ceiling. Under the GOP proposal, both chambers would have until April 15 to produce a budget resolution. If a chamber didn't get the job done by then, its members would forgo pay until a budget passes or the congressional term ends, whichever comes first. The debt limit would be suspended for a month longer, until May 15.
The House is expected to pass the measure on Wednesday.
House Democrats have been longing to dispense with the so-called Boehner Rule, named after House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, which calls for $1 in spending cuts for $1 in new lending authority. The GOP's three-month plan does just that. Democratic leaders and the White House hailed it as lifting "the immediate threat of default" and as an indication "that congressional Republicans have backed off an insistence on holding the nation's economy hostage to extract drastic cuts" to government programs.
The Obama administration said Tuesday it "would not oppose" a short-term handling of the federal debt ceiling. That puts Senate Democrats in a tough spot: They've skipped a budget each of the past three years so as to shield vulnerable members from tough votes on spending priorities. Sen. Charles Schumer (D) of New York recently said Democrats were planning to draft a budget this year, but neither majority leader Harry Reid of Nevada nor Senate Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray (D) of Washington has made a similar commitment.

Hello Lovelies,
I wanted to share today how I made a new sofa for my Studio.
I made it from 3 old wooden cribs.
My Dad is working as a facility manager
at a couple of nursery homes and Kindergarden`s.
So from time to time he bring things back home and always asking me,
if I want to keep some of the things.
And I do, sometimes.
Like this time, these beds were stacked in the garage for quite a time
until I figured out what I wanted to do with them.
I used three headboards and one slatted frame.
Two of the headboards I used as the back of the sofa and I cut two round halves of the headboards to use them as armrests. And to close the gap between the backside of the sofa.
And my Dad got me two mattresses as well.
After I screwed everything together it looked like this.
See the armrests?
As I was deciding which color it would get I sew a mattress cower from some fabric I bought a loong time ago.
And I put two big pillows I had left from my old Sofa from my living room.
So everything is reclaimed accept the new paint. ;)
Look who is also already loving it;)
Like a king on his throne;)
So here it is, everything put together.
After filling the drilling holes I started painting.
After one coat of anthracite paint.
And here it is after two coats and completely dried.
(You may have noticed, that I painted the walls too and put some molding up on the ceiling. I will show you the finished studio soon;))
Quite nice, right? So let`s throw on the mattresses and rug.
Hmm, something is missing... Oh I know, some fun pillows and some pretty art.
LIke this...
Drumroll please...;)
Love the outcome! So cozy, fun, colorful and comfy;)
The wooden box on the right is for my cats, they always used to climb right into it.
So I put a blanket in it.
This corner really evolved;)
Love it!
So what do you think?
A friend told me I should build furniture more often and make a living out of it;)
Should I?
My point is, just build something with your own hands!
You don`t always have to buy new stuff,
just visit your local thrift store or some flea markets and use what you find to create something new.;)

#5011208 Bottom Row of 4x4 Matrix
Posted by Yours3!f on 16 December 2012 - 03:03 AM
(the other pages are very useful too!!! so look around)
I'm not really sure if A is used at all, I did this a long time ago, but B is supposed to be the perspective divide element.
Or at least B and the projection matrix modify the 4th element of the position, so that in clip space if you divide by it, you get the ndc coordinates.
like when you do the transformations:
-Model (world) space (apply T here):
model_space_pos = model_mat * vertex
-View (camera) space (apply R here):
view_space_pos = view_mat * model_space_pos
-Clip space (apply projection matrix here):
clip_space_pos = projection_mat * view_space_pos
-normalized device coordinates (do the perspective divide, apply B here):
ndc_pos = clip_space_pos.xyz / clip_space_pos.w
-viewport coordinates (scale & bias to get texture coordinates, scale by window coordinates)
viewport_pos = (ndc_pos.xy * 0.5 + 0.5) * vec2( screen_width, screen_height )
and to the other questions:
you would apply the 4x4 matrix to a 4 component vector (ie vec4)
and you would invert A and B by inverting the 4x4 matrix.
#5007062 is gdebugger wrong or do I really have 300gb in renderbuffers?
Posted by Yours3!f on 04 December 2012 - 07:18 AM
I get false values too, I use a 1024x1024 RGBA8 cubemap texture. This should take:
1024 (width) x 1024 (height) x 6 (sides) x 4 (bytes per pixel) ~ 25 MB
instead it says 148 MB... So it is definitely wrong.
As far as I've seen it, it report correct values for 2D textures, but false ones for pretty much everything else.
#5006236 Blur shader (2 passes)
Posted by Yours3!f on 02 December 2012 - 02:33 AM
I'm learning how to use GLSL shaders at the moment. I'm implementing a Gaussian blur shader which uses 2 passes, one for horizontal and one for vertical blur.
My question is, do I need to create a texture target for each pass? This way I would render the scene to the first texture, then I would render the first texture to the second texture using the horizontal blur shader, and finally render the second texture to the screen using the vertical shader. I'm not sure if this is the right way.
The second possibility I have is to render the scene to the same texture two times once with each shader (and add a * 0.5 to the end of each shader). But with this solution, all the scene geometry has to be drawn twice (and not just 2D textures).
Is the double texture approach better? Is there another one?
Thank you!
This is how you do it:
-render the scene to a fbo #1 (ie to texture #1 attached to it).
-blur texture #1 using gaussian blur horizontally (or vertically) outputting to fbo #2 (ie to texture #2 attached to it)
-blur texture #2 outputting to fbo #3 (ie texture #1 that is attached to it)
You can see that I used 3 fbos and only 2 textures. This is because an fbo is just a concept, it only determines WHAT TO the gpu will output the pixels. The storage (which has megabytes of magnitude) is the texture attached to it.
But this "ping pong" rule applies to many other effects like depth of field etc. Where you need the same type of output texture, you can simply cleverly reuse the existing ones, thus saving gpu memory (which you can use later for storing additional assets).
#5005972 Non-Microsoft Market Share
Posted by Yours3!f on 01 December 2012 - 02:22 AM
linux based systems have at most 1%, and latest OGL
For cross platform development you need to use cross platform libraries, and build with non-cross platform IDEs and compilers. For cross platform libraries your best choice IMO would be SFML + OGL + GLEW (and other libs like freetype, freeimage, assimp etc. if needed)
For example I chose cmake to create both a makefile (so yeah gcc/g++) on Linux and a Visual Studio solution on Windows. As far as I know it works for mac too.
On linux your best choice is cmake and kdevelop IMO, but 100 developers will give you 100 answers to this question. You still have other IDEs like Eclipse and Qt Creator.
In my experience OGL has been enough for everything, so I don't see why you'd use DX even on Windows (why would you develop the same thing twice?).
#5005325 sky rendering
Posted by Yours3!f on 29 November 2012 - 09:16 AM
I'm trying to do sky rendering based on this: http://codeflow.org/entries/2011/apr/13/advanced-webgl-part-2-sky-rendering/
I got through most of the set up, I can now render to a cubemap, and display it, however I can't get the inverse view rotation matrix.
This is because I only worked with view-space, projection space so far. I tried to pass the inverse modelview matrix, but that didn't quite work out.
So my question is, is it possible to do this using view-space? If so how?
here's the shader I'm using:

EDIT: it seems to work now. I just had to use the original, and pass inverse view matrix (it turned out to be the upper left 3x3 matrix of the modelview matrix), and I had to use the correct cameras (not the players camera, but turned to left, right up, do etc.).
Best regards,
#5003809 driver bug?
Posted by Yours3!f on 24 November 2012 - 02:20 PM
Well... not necessarily. For example, if you give it a garbage pointer or size and cause it to commit an access violation, it's free to crash.
It shouldn't crash under any circumstances, right?
I'm not much of a video programmer, but here's my guess as to why it crashed: glTexImage2D requires you to pass a pointer to the texture data, and in your OP you're passing 0. If you read the docs for that function, it says "If target is GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_2D, GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_1D_ARRAY, GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP, or GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE, no data is read from data." In the next paragraph, it says "If target is GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE or one of the GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP targets, data is read from data..." (emphasis mine) This may explain why it crashes. I could be wrong, but that's my hunch.
well it is read if not 0 is passed.
"data may be a null pointer.
In this case, texture memory is
allocated to accommodate a texture of width width and height height.
You can then download subtextures to initialize this
texture memory.
The image is undefined if the user tries to apply
an uninitialized portion of the texture image to a primitive."
and that function didn't crash, but the fbo checker. And that function doesn't receive any pointer.
#5001214 picking in 2d
Posted by Yours3!f on 15 November 2012 - 07:29 AM
I implemented a simple 2d drawing sysytem that draws points and lines(for now)
I must implement a picking in 2d for intersection of a mouse click and a point and a line.
Has a sense create a ray for the intersection in 2d?
how i can implement these algorithm?
I also have to consider the modelview matrix and the scale/rotate that i can apply to the document .
there is an example?
hey there, I don't really know how to deal with lines (approximate them as thin quads maybe?), but I've recently done this using triangles/quads:
you might get an idea.
#4996807 uniforms
Posted by Yours3!f on 03 November 2012 - 03:16 AM
Why do you need this feature? If it is for the learning sake only, please wait until stable drivers release.
There are several sources of the problem.
What drivers are you using? GL_ARB_explicit_uniform_location is the part of GLSL 4.3 core spec, not 4.2. If you are using NV 310.xx drivers, then there could be a bug, since they are in a beta phase. If you are using previous releases, then you should check whether the extension is supported and probably enable it explicitly in GLSL (if it is supported).
I guess you don't have support GL_ARB_explicit_uniform_location and the reason it works for the first uniform is accidental correspondence with compiler's associated locations. NV uses alphabetical order of names. So, locations are as follows:
0 - mvp
2 - texture0
1 - overlay_color
Before trying to use some new feature check if it is presented and read specification to understand how it works. ;)
I'm on AMD with only OGL4.2 drivers... I guess I'll have to stick with glGetUniformLocation...
as for the why: I just wanted to get rid of keeping track of uniform locations. It's not that cumbersome, but it would be great if I didn't have to.
I guess for the rest you're right, I just accidentally got the uniform locations right. Well, thank you for clarifying the situation. I just thought this was available since gl 3.1
#4990024 Using shaders vs fixed pipline
Posted by Yours3!f on 14 October 2012 - 06:51 AM
ok, thanks for all the replies.
I actually am working on the project for a pretty long time now, but switching still may be worth it.
So I decided to learn more about shaders and program two or three and probably I will stick with them.
"Master of my own lighting" sounds very good, but I´d rather like to focus on features for the gameplay
Even if I don´t use it in this project in the end, I hope it at least will be worth the experience.
here's a cg implementation of the whole OpenGL fixed function pipeline. Cg is very similar to GLSL so you should have no problem porting it after you learned a bit of GLSL.
#4989810 Using shaders vs fixed pipline
Posted by Yours3!f on 13 October 2012 - 10:33 AM
for example you can use shaders for the terrain, but render everything else using the fixed pipeline.
however shaders give you much greater flexibility, and new features (because of programmability).
generally it is only advisable to use fixed pipeline when the given hardware (and driver) can't handle shaders.
and yes, you need to reimplement the fixed function pipeline in the shaders if you want those effects (ie. lighting).
#4973441 Deferred shading and High Range Definition
Posted by Yours3!f on 26 August 2012 - 04:22 AM
Essentially it goes like this:
1. render opaque geometry to the G-Buffer ( 24 bit depth + 8 bit stencil, RGBA8 rgb for normals, a for specular exponent )
2. do the shading pass (ie. read in the 2 textures, do Blinn-Phong shading based on them, and save the result to 2 textures, RGBA16F for diffuse, RGBA16F for specular )
3. re-render the opaque geometry, read in the 2 RGBA16F textures, use early-z using the depth buffer, and combine the shading result with the material properties (ie. surface diffuse color and surface specular color), plus add the ambient term, save the result into a RGBA16F texture.
use this RGBA16F texture for input for further post-processing.
you usually use this resulting texture for depth of field and bloom/hdr/tonemapping. These are usually dependent on each other, so you don't need to blend.
#4966948 OpenGL 4.3 - compute shaders and much more
Posted by Yours3!f on 07 August 2012 - 03:04 AM
I'm looking forward to trying out OGL compute shaders though, as it seems more reasonable to use it for processing textures / lighting.
The debugging feature is quite an improvement as such functionality was missing.
#4963060 [HELP] Porting SMAA from Direct3D to OpenGL

SMAA got finally fixed, it now works in OGL/GLSL, you can find the source code here: https://github.com/scrawl/smaa-opengl
#4962650 Cleanup at end of program
Posted by Yours3!f on 24 July 2012 - 10:30 AM
other resources such as cpu side memory are usually freed by your os upon exit, but special oses may not. you still want to delete stuff here though to make sure youre not doing memory leaking.
Edit: the non-annoying way would be to encapsulate your objects in classes and make a on_delete function in each class. then when you react to the sf::Event::Close, just call the on_delete function of each object, then in the end call window.close(). you may want to employ some kind of global class that holds all these objects in some way, so that you can access your objects anywhere in your code. by making your global class lightweight and the actual objects heavyweight you can easily manage memory later (ie. the global object will live until your app is closed, everybody else dies as soon as they get deleted / get out of context).

Posted by Yours3!f on 12 July 2012 - 04:31 AM
google: gDEBugger
So as a further note, is there a debug tool available that can check the contents of textures/video memory? I'm not sure if there is a problem with rendering to a texture or something happening to the texture (somehow) between the render to the framebuffer and the render to the full screen quad

April 14, 2004 From: Bruce Miles Newsletter Editor and Webmaster Buckeye Triumphs email@example.com 740-587-4179 (Home #) or 740-504-3777 (Cell with voice mail) Subject: Buckeye Triumphs (and others) 2004 April Driving Event th Saturday, April 17 , 2004 Our first drive of the season will be a run from Westerville out towards Licking County for a dry run of the th route that we will use for the Easton British Car days "pre" event on the Saturday (May 15 ) before. We will be running essentially the same route, but will detour into Newark for a visit to: The Works is a center of discovery that inspires an appreciation for industry, innovation and the creative process in learners of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. Through its exhibits, programs and services, The Works strives to stimulate analytical thinking and enhance the quality of life in Licking County and beyond. There is a charge for admittance to "The Works" – at most $5.00 per person – I'll be asking for a group rate and let you know that day. When we finish our tour at "The Works" – we will continue south for chicken at Clark's Dining Room down on route 40. th Two other events will be occurring on the 17 . When we are done eating chicken, we will head back to Granville for a visit to Nelson Riedel's home. Nelson is "liquidating" his Triumph stuff and wants to clean house. In Nelson's words: "I'm getting rid of all the remaining TR parts except for the carbs, powder coated brake & clutch parts and the new fender. I want to pick a weekend to get everything out for club members to come get what they want.. What is remaining I'll put in the trash the following Monday. Everything is free to club members. However, if anyone feels guilty taking advantage of a poor old man, they can make an anonymous contribution to Nelson's fun fund. The parts are listed at: http://www.nelsonslocomotive.com/TRParts/nelson.htm If there are parts that you want but don't have room in your LBC, we can arrange to have those parts held at the Miles garage just down the street.) th April 17 is also the Daffodil show in Granville, when you are done at Nelson's take your better half into Granville for the flower show in the College Town House next to the Granville Inn. Since this is a dry run for the course that we will run for the British Car Day's event, I will also be inviting the folks from the other LBC clubs in town to come along with us if they care to. We will meet at the McDonald's off of Sunbury Road and Route 161 at 9:00 for breakfast. I would like to leave for our drive at 9:30 AM. Some notes on the attached directions: The run is in 3 major sections (due to a glitch in the software program that I used to generate the maps) The first section gets us to Newark for our visit to the works and then out of Newark towards Clark's Dining Room. When we reach Brownsville Road my map software refused to believe that we could get onto "Brushy Fork Road" , so I had to call that the end of the first section. The second section takes us to Clark's Dining room, and also for a "toodle" through Dawes Arboretum to enjoy the spring flora, then off towards Granville. When we reach the point where We turn left on Seminary Rd from Thornwood Drive, again my map software refused to do this without some kind of fuss, so the 3rd leg became a necessity. The third section will take us into downtown Granville, (I will pass out maps to Nelson's on the day of the drive) and then details the return trip to Columbus. Since this is a "Dry Run" for our Easton event, if you see any typos or notes that should be added to the directions, please let me know. I hope that I have laid out a run that you will all appreciate, I know that I enjoy these roads whenever I travel them. See you on the 17th – hope for good weather! Bruce Miles PS. One Final Note – I use the program "Streets and Trips" to generate the basic maps for our tour, and then capture the output and edit it. When Laying out the routes, I "coax" it in the direction I want by adding "stops" – these stops manifest themselves on the attached maps by little yellow boxes: these will be noticed as Ref# on the attached directions. 2 Total Mileage Instruction Distance This is out first section of the journey – some of my favorite roads are on this section. Dry Creek, Reynolds Road, Blacksnake Road and Hickman Road to name a few. I try to avoid major highways and traffic lights – always be careful at stop signs to watch for crossing traffic.

AMERICA/MEXICO - Social networks, a reality in the Church
Puebla (Agenzia Fides) - More than 200 priests, seminarians, religious and lay people gathered at the Palafox Seminary, where the fifth Diocesan Synod of the Archdiocese of Puebla took place and has just ended. It was an opportunity to study how to use social networks, digital media and the Internet in order to spread the values of the Catholic Church.
"In light of the word of God and the teaching of the Magisterium, we have to see how we can carry out a better service to the people of God in the work of evangelization", said Auxiliary Bishop of Puebla, His Exc. Mgr. Eugenio Andrés Lira Rugarcía, according to information sent to Fides Agency.
"It is very important to know that the Church uses the media, the internet, social networking. We have the web page of the Archdiocese of Puebla on the Internet, we are also on TV through YouTube, we have social networks. As Pope Francis says, the media are God's gifts, are opportunities to get closer and meet each other: it is a reality that the Church is using, but we must do better. An example is given by the possibility to follow in an increasingly fast way, world events and activities concerning the Holy Father".
In this regard, yesterday the Holy Father's picture appeared on the front cover of Rolling Stone magazine (which will be on sale from 13 February), and also yesterday, the Pontifical Council for Social Communications published the photo of a graffiti with the Pope described as a "Super hero": two images which, in few seconds, traveled the world via social networks and internet media. (CE) (Agenzia Fides 29/01/2014)

The new Joseph Fielding Smith manual for the Relief Society/Priesthood lessons presents a minor logistical problem—it has 26 lessons, which may mean teachers will have to drop two of the lessons (since two lessons each month are taught from the manual). Because of this I will post poems for the next few weeks so that teachers can choose from at least 4 of the lessons each week. The first lesson focuses on God, his attributes and nature, and our relationship with him. But while we have poems and hymns that discuss this, I though the following poem would be... Read more »

Literary Lorenzo Snow #24: Christ is Born, the Joyful Story
Finding Mormon poetry that talks about Christ is not hard at all. In fact, of all the Mormon poetry that I've read (considering only poems written by Mormon authors), the number of poems about Christ surpasses by far the number of poems about any other single individual. If this is a good proxy for what Mormons believe, then there is no doubt: Mormons worship Christ, not Joseph Smith. But the final Lorenzo Snow lesson for the year focuses on the mission of Christ, mentioning also that he has visited the earth in the latter-days and will come again. That... Read more »
Literary Lorenzo Snow #23: Stanzas
There is no shortage of poetry about Joseph Smith, the subject of lesson 23 of the Lorenzo Snow manual. But Snow's views on Joseph Smith are focused not on his martyrdom or on his role as the initial prophet of this dispensation. Instead, Snow focuses on Joseph Smith's character—an unusual subject for the early Mormon poetry I've collected so far. But the following poem does briefly mention some of Joseph Smith's character traits: Read more »
Literary DCGD #46: Zion
Perhaps the most difficult issue in discussing the idea of Zion is defining exactly what we mean. Even though D&C Gospel Doctrine lesson #46 is titled "Zion—The Pure in Heart," its first section is titled "The word Zion has several meanings" and lists no less than six. Of these, I've seen evidence in Mormon poetry for two or three definitions. First, the early Mormon poets used Zion in a millennial sense, to mean "The New Jerusalem." They also used ion to mean "The dwelling place of those who are exalted," or perhaps even simply "Those who are exalted." And,... Read more »
Literary DCGD #45: Marriage
The Mormon conception of marriage is central to our theology and understanding of the next life. We see marriage as the beginning of eternal families, and a key element of eternal progression. Doctrine and Covenants Gospel Doctrine lesson #45 explores this belief, but, I think, doesn't quite get at how or why marriage might be so central to eternal life. The following poem may explain somewhat. Read more »
Happy 10th Birthday, Times and Seasons
I'm not sure what it is about this time of year that leads to the anniversaries that we have this week. In the U.S. many are obsessed with the coming 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Today is the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address, leading to an effort this year to get many in the U.S. to memorize the address. And on November 19, 2003, Adam G. posted the first item on Times and Seasons, a post entitled "Whatever I say three times is true." Since I wasn't involved at the time, I'll defer to someone...

Literary DCGD #44: The Nauvoo Legion
Mormons believe in being good citizens, and Doctrine and Covenants Gospel Doctrine lesson #44 discusses a little how that is supposed to work. We are supposed to participate, obey the law and to serve others in our communities. But are there limits on this responsibility? How much should we give to our communities? Are there limits on the sacrifice we should make? Things we should not do? In the following poem, Eliza R. Snow lauds those who serve the Nauvoo community, in response to a very real need at the time: defense against mob violence. And some of the... Read more »
Literary Lorenzo Snow #22: Remember the Poor
Its been a decade or more since practicing "random acts of kindness" became a kind of fad here in the U.S. I've always liked the concept, and I've practiced it on occasion. But I don't think its a substitute for the kind of doing good to others that Lorenzo Snow manual lesson #22 is talking about. While "random acts of kindness" might be a starting point, its no substitute for "mourning with those that mourn" or "comforting those that stand in need of comfort." Perhaps the difference between the random, transitory nature of the "random acts of kindness" fad... Read more »
Literary DCGD #43: Entreaty
What exactly is the "whole armor of God?" Lesson 43 of the Doctrine and Covenants Gospel Doctrine manual explores this concept, drawing from D&C 27:15-18, and its inspiration, Ephesians 6:13-18. But while both these scriptural texts point to principles that represent various pieces of body armor, its sometimes hard to see how these principles actually protect us. If we look at an actual struggle, what pieces of armor will we see in use? The following poem may provide some insight. Read more »
Literary Lorenzo Snow #21: Real and Ideal
I'm usually a little uncomfortable when we discuss the evils of the world, as happens in Teachings of Lorenzo Snow lesson #21. Its not that I don't see evil in the world, but its that I also see good there. And the optimist in me even sees some progress—the world getting better than it was. The following poem makes me wonder if the whole dichotomy of the world v. the kingdom of God should be seen in another way. Is the problem not, in part, that the world doesn't see life from an eternal perspective? Is the world focusing... Read more »
Literary DCGD #42: The Prophet Turned the Key
The Mormon belief in continuing revelation (the subject of Doctrine and Covenants Gospel Doctrine Lesson #42) is rare if not unique among Christian religions, and it is one of the features of Mormonism most promoted. What is perhaps less discussed is the range of meanings of this term in Mormonism. We use it to mean everything from impressions each of us receive personally to written documents produced by the Prophet and accepted by the body of the Church as scripture. Revelation is perhaps most effective when it leads to a significant change in our behavior, or the behavior of... Read more »
Literary DCGD #41: Lines on the Death of Lorenzo D. Barnes
The idea that every member is a missionary depends on a certain kind of commitment to the Church. For the Church to make the kind of progress outlined in D&C Gospel Doctrine Lesson 41 missionaries, even member missionaries, must be willing to make the sacrifices necessary. Recently, the level of commitment that some missionaries end up making has been very public — the Church seems to have switched policy and made public information about missionaries who died in the field. At last report the number who have died is up to 12 (probably fewer than the number of currently... Read more »
Literary DCGD #40: Baptism for the Dead
Temple and Family History work (discussed in Gospel Doctrine lesson #40) are perhaps the most unique of LDS doctrines. The doctrine behind them solves both the problem of making salvation universally available and the need for high-church ceremony in a religion that focuses on low-church ideals in its regular worship. The origin of this doctrine appeared in Mormonism in late 1840, and by the following year it was popular enough that it was the subject of the following poem. Read more »
Literary Lorenzo Snow #20: A Marvel and a Wonder
We often use the phrase "a marvelous work and a wonder" to describe the restoration and subsequent spread of the gospel across the earth. And this work is marvelous and wonderful, as lesson 20 of the Lorenzo Snow manual discusses. As a story it has conflict and drama and surprise. And it is, I think, easy to see the hand of God moving the work forward. It may be, however, that the work doesn't move forward in a straight line, continually growing and improving. Our history shows, I think, some steps back, times when problems led many to leave... Read more »
Literary DCGD #39: The Records of Our Dead
The doctrine of baptism for the dead is unique to Mormonism among religions today. Our focus on performing ordinances on behalf of those who haven't been part of the Church in this life leads us to genealogical research to discover enough information to distinguish between individuals, and sometimes even allowing us to discover who our ancestors were—what kind of people they were and what were they like. While our family history efforts are rightly focused on getting temple work done for our ancestors, we should find value also in getting to know those ancestors, and in that way building...

Conductinng: Elder Henry B. Eyring Elder Quentin L.

These include spiritual, physical, and intellectual bondage and sometimes bring destruction. Bondage, subjugation, addictions, and servitude come in many forms. They can be literal physical enslavement, but can also be loss or impairment of moral agency that can impede our progress. Addictions that impair agency, contradict moral beliefs, and destroy good...

It has scarcely been one year since I announced the lowering of the age of missionary service. Since that time, the number of full-time missionaries serving has increased from 58,500 in October 2012 to 80,333 today. What a tremendous and inspiring response we have witnessed! Now is the time for members and missionaries to come together, to work together, to labor in the Lord's vineyard to bring souls unto... Read more »
Literary Lorenzo Snow #19: To Elder L. Snow
Lorenzo Snow lesson 19 highlights several purposes for missionary work in its collected statements from Snow's discourses. Clearly bringing the gospel to others is the chief purpose of this effort. Snow also suggests in these statements that missionary work is a sacrifice that missionaries make when they are sent out into the world. Perhaps the sacrifices that Snow himself made taught him the value of missionary work and the sacrifices made. Snow's sister evidently thought these sacrifices were important, since she made them the subject of the following poem. Read more »
