    Dang it! I have already missed the first day. This looks really, really good.

    Ooooo, David L. Hardy, MBA. They're bringing in the big guns.
    Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

      I would rather be tied to a tree naked and have people throw pine cones at my nuts then attend this.

            I also expect that Sooner will be live-tweeting it.
            Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                I wonder if Jonathan Neville has any upcoming book signings scheduled. Perhaps our resident author-attorney can join up with him?

                  Ha. That's a funny thought.

                  This is an amazing collision of mormon-super-crazy and priestcraft. It would be fun to wander around and check out some of the lectures. And the commercial exhibits!

                    I found the speakers list and program topics both fascinating and depressing, but more the latter, so I'll join RCV in submitting to abuse of my nether regions rather than attend.

                        That was the first word to my mind as well. Looking through the speakers list and topics, it seems that every speaker had something to sell. My favorite is the MBA who came up with the specialized nutritional formula. I think I am going to finally put my JD to good use and work on cold fusion.

                          LOL! that is what I gravitated to first also, that and Karen Prier, LMT.

                          Never before has an organization executed an LDS Symposium so well. The Firm Foundation is truly giving General Conference a run for its money!"

                            BTW, with respect to that speakers list, in addition to those who are kooky just from their descriptions, two others stand out to me: Dr. Jones, who I'm sure is in many ways a brilliant guy, but who more recently has written those nutty 9/11 essays, and Howard Ruff, the investment adviser who was all the rage in the '70s. I read an article recently that if one had followed Ruff's advice for the past 35 years or so, one would have recognized an annual return of 4.6%. If one had invested in the broader stock market (something Ruff has condemned), one's return would have been over 11%. In fact, if one had only invested in T-Bills, one would have had an essentially risk-free investment with a 4.9% return. I suspect if one gave one's money to '71 instead, and had him take a 4% management fee, one would have done much better than if one had gone with Ruff.

                            I also recall Ruff saying back in the day that if God doesn't destroy San Francisco he owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology.

                              Ahem. RCV said he does want to attend, but only after pine cones are thrown at his onions.
