J. Golden Kimball

Monday, November 26th, 2007

 
I remember that my grandfather Scoville (Ellsworth Earl Scoville) was often stated that he reminded people of J. Golden Kimball. I remember his stories including lots of “hells” and “damns” that I too have thought and said that about Grandpa Scoville. Today I stumbled across a few sites that talk about J. Golden and have [...]

Hafiz’ “At This Party” translated by Daniel Ladinsky

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

At This Party
I don’t want to be the only one here
Telling all the secrets -
Filling up all the bowls at this party,
Taking all the laughs.
I would like you
To start putting things on the table
That can also feed the soul
The way I do.
That way
We can invite
A hell of a lot more
Friends.

Selling Books on Half.com versus Amazon.com

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

I have been considering getting back into selling used books online again. I have a few textbooks that I’ve collected over the years and maybe there are a few that I’ve not needed and don’t think that I’ll need.

From what I could find out, Amazon has a 15% commission rate for selling books and then [...]

Our Deepest Fear - Marianne Williamson

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is
that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness
that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to
be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does [...]

Boundary Setting - Dr. Jim Harper

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

“When on is confident about one’s boundaries, setting limits
comes from one’s values, standards, and expectations for self and others.”

You will not set “limits in the name of school, God, or the
other parent.”

Jerry Seinfeld’s Wife Plagarizing

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

I think this is a pretty silly if not sad state of affairs for us. So does Jerry. If she did, I think I think it is pretty sad. But I think the accusation as Jerry talks about it seems pretty ridiculous.

Here are few entertainment stories on the topic. Entertainment Weekly or MSN Movies.
Order a [...]

Dumbledore is Gay

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

As I was reading my email, I came across a blurb on my gmail news aggregator from the LA Times. Not that I’m completely shocked but I thought it was interesting that this is considered one of the “most emailed” items from the paper. I don’t personally want to think of Dumbledore as Gay but [...]

Harry Potter 7 Spoiler

Saturday, March 17th, 2007

I thought I would comment on an article that I read in the BYU Daily Universe about a BYU student that has come up with his own ideas of what will happen in Harry Potter 7. Although I didn’t get a chance to read the book — I didn’t want to buy. I thought maybe [...]
