...multiple old fashioned hotels and many tacky tourists, my family and I finally arrived in Durango, Colorado. After two everlasting days we were about twenty minutes from our final destination where we were setting up camp. I had never seen anything this majestic. Once we got settled into the RV park, my family and I decided we wanted to take the trolley to town. All the little hometown stores, side by side with variety of old stores to new. We walked around in the 75 degree weather, it wasn’t hot and humid, it was cool and breezy, something Texans weren’t used to. As we headed back towards camp, we realized that Durango isn’t such a small town after all. It has a good majority of people, especially during the summer. Tuesday morning our, second day in Colorado, we were taking a four hour steam engine train ride from Durango to Silverton, a small town in the middle of nowhere. We boarded the open cart train, on a cold chilly day. We rode through the town and started heading towards the Rocky Mountains. Once we reached the mountains, we didn’t realize how far up we already were. Seeing the town with the mountains in the background, while clouds were peaking over the top was a sight to see, but it wasn’t anything close to the view we had once we reached farther down the tracks. We were almost an hour into the ashy train ride, we had been over...

...flows. Since Massey has tax loss carry forwards, the allocation of the $9.5 million manufacturing overhead does not affect taxes, which is usually an important cash flow stream to consider. The four allocation methods create significant differences in the dollars allocated to the two plants. In fact, the Texas and Mexico plants allocations vary by up to $1.9 million, depending on which method is used. Since the lines of business end up paying for these allocated costs through higher full cost-based transfer prices, the choice of allocation method could prove economically important if the lines of business change their prices of heat sinks to final customers based on the transfer prices that result from the four methods. Therefore, before selecting a particular allocation method, the product costs produced under each allocation scheme need to be examined in light of how the product cost impacts the pricing decision of the three lines of business....

My mom overheard are conversation and knew right then where he was headed. I shouted, " DADDY NO!" He said, "Goodbye" and ended the call. My mom and I instantly jumped into the Durango and headed to Morenci. I glanced over my moms shoulder as we were passing vechicles on the right side of the road. The speedmeter read 95 miles per hour. I was terrified, i wanted to make it out to where my dad was heading. My mom explained to me that when he was in the stress center from previous attempts of suicide, he exspressed his thoughts that if he was to ever try again, it would be in the woods where he hunts with a gun. So thats how we knew where exactly we needed to go. On are way we called my grandparents, my aunts and also my uncle because they were closer and we assumed they'd get there before we could. As we were driving down Ridgeville i could see my dads truck parked along the bean field and railroad tracks. He normally parks here when he was out hunting. My grandpa got there first and still hadn't found my dad. We met him near the railroad tracks and from that point we all split up and started searching. I remember yelling, "Dad answer me." but heard nothing but silence. I was on a dead sprint wondering...

...Pancho Villa was born on June 5, 1878 in San Juan Rio, Durango (Birth of a Bandit1). His birth name was “Doroteo Arango” (Birth of a Bandit 2). “His sharecropper parents who lived on this hacienda were, Agustin Arango and Micaela Arambula” (Pancho Villa Legends Before the Revolution 1). They “rented” a farm by paying with crops in return of the use of the tenant farm. He worked many hardworking hours in the tenant farm with his father. Unfortunately, his father passed away when he was in his teenage years. To be exact, he died when Doroteo Arango was only fifteen years old. This was a critical moment in the Arango family. This left his mother and his three siblings...

...rising for several different reasons including government regulation, low supply from refineries and low supply of crude oil. Gas prices are increasing at an alarming rate; according to the Department of Energy (2007, May 14), the current national average is $3.10. The price has increased over 43% from 2005. The price of one barrel of crud is above $60. These rapid rises in gas prices have already caused changes to the minds of Americans. According to AAA, US travelers will not be traveling as far as previous years, travelers are taking shorter trips closer to home (as cited by CNN, 2007). AAA also said Americans will still be going on vacations despite the gas price being so high. And they also say that prices will reach $3.50 to $4.00 before it stops most Americans from taking vacations (as cited by CNN, 2007). The average...

...the largest Native American Tribes in the world. Their culture is made up of very distinct and unique characteristics that have been passed down from generation to generation. They have been taught to adapt to their surroundings and to the land. Each moral, standard, belief and value are what make the Navajo so unique to the Native Americans. In the following, their primary mode of subsistence, kinship system, beliefs, values, and economic organizations will be briefly examined to gain a better knowledge of the Navajo culture. The Navajo culture were originally foragers, traveling across land in search of unsettled land and resources for their tribes. After migrating south from the pacific northwest over 700 years ago, the Navajo settled in Southwest America. They were then introduced to sheep by the Spaniards and soon after been pastoral and started growing small crops and caring for their animals. According to the Gale Encyclopedia of Multicultural American, “A Navajo is “born to” the mother’s clan and “born for” the father’s clan” (Birchfield, 2000). It is said that the Navajo society is matrilineal, meaning that a clan’s identity is derived from the female. In a traditional introduction, the Navajo will first introduce themselves by naming the maternal clan, followed by the paternal clan. Historically, Navajo men were hunters, warriors and community leaders. Their primary roles were to hunt food and bring it back for the women to butcher. They also were the community...

...lonely, and traumatizing growing up on the farm. “There was never time to play,” she told me. She believes that her dad had kids merely to work on the farm and not to love. “I felt like a worker and not a daughter.” Sitting in my Aunt Juana’s living room, we were talking about my grandparents’ upcoming 50th anniversary party, and how my dad was stressed trying to organize the party. As Aunt Juana ate a roasted corn she patiently peeled each kernel with her hand, she reminisced about when she was a child and what it was to grow up on the farm. Aunt Juana had to be up by dawn every morning. One of her duties was to feed all the animals they had around the house which included pigs, chickens, sheep and the cows that were kept close by to milk. After all the animals were fed, she then would help her mom milk the cows. Her duty was to hold the baby calf by the rope while my grandma milked the cow and no matter how blistered her hands would get from the thick rope, she knew better than to complain, or worse yet to let go of the rope. Fresh milk for breakfast was a must have, no matter what day it was. My grandpa, a strict perfectionist expected the best in everything; meaning his food had to be fresh at all times. Breakfast practically had to be inhaled so they could get back to work. If my aunt and her siblings didn’t eat fast enough, then they would go without food...

...soccer cleats before I was a one year old. Before I could even walk. We lived in a small house all the way on top of the hill. I don’t remember much of that place since I was too young to remember anything from that time. I just know that it was packed with all of my father’s brothers and sisters lived there. Along with their husbands and wives. I only remember the days from when we moved into the valley. I’ve always looked up to my dad. I remember he used to tell me stories about how back in Mexico they used to cut a hole in the school fence and sneak into the field just to play soccer. All of his stories about adventure always had me entertained, and still do. When I was younger I would want to dress like him and imitate almost all of his acts. From the boots and sombrero he would wear to the flavor of the soda he would choose at McDonalds. He’s always pushed me to go for success. He’s a part-time coach in a way. If it wasn’t for my dad I don’t think I’d have that hunger and strive to move forward with things. My mom is pretty much the opposite of my father. She’s calm and one of the kindest people out there. She’ll never make me do something I wouldn’t want to do. My mom is honestly the base of our family. She’s the kind of person that’ll probably miss a meal just to make sure you had something to eat. My mom constantly sends out money to help out our family in Mexico and she’ll never forget someone’s birthday. My mom’s just thoughtful and respectful before anything else...

...are a pastoral and agriculture society. They use farming and herding as their primary mode of subsistence. The Navajo culture is of spiritual nature. The Dine` believes in having a spiritual relationship with their land. The Navajo’s are known as people who are in tune with the spiritual world, and they are spiritual beings. The Navajo wish to live their culture and lives without interference of the Western World government. “We do not like relief and want to make our own living and we know we can do so if we are left alone.”(Lee, 2007). According to Clah Cheschillige, in the 19th century and the first half of the twentieth century, Congress wanted all Native Americans to conform to the western society. (Lee, 2007) Before 1923, the Navajo nation didn’t have a western world government. They were their own people, living in their own Nation. “Nationalism is the devotion to the interest or culture of one’s own nation.”(Lee,2007) It also means to have one’s own independence,...

I have 3 life experiences where I was involve in drinking and driving, you tell yourself, it will be fine if you roll your car window down to get some air will you driving down the highway or drink some juice or water before you leave the bar and you will be ok, when you hear on the news drunk driver killed 2 innocent people and you convince yourself that will not happen to you until it do, believe me been there done that and have the T shirt to prove it. My first drinking and driving incident was in 1991, don’t remember the exact date because it was so long ago, it was in the winter months because I remember it being very cold outside, I was coming from a club I frequented in Morningside Maryland it was about 2am Saturday morning, I was headed home to Woodbridge V.A, and to make matters worse, my dumb ass was doing about 95 miles an hour on 495 south, I might as well have placed a neon light on the back of my car saying come get me coppers I am drunk and I am driving 40 miles above the speed limit, and then amidst my drunken stupor, a glimmer of common sense surfaced and convince to slow down and look in my...
