...The Bucket List Erica BSHS 342 October 15, 2012 The Bucket List Corporate billionaire Edward Cole and working class mechanic Carter Chambers have nothing in common except for their terminal illnesses. While sharing a hospital room together, they decide to leave it and do all the things they have ever wanted to do before they die according to their bucket list. In the process, both of them heal each other, become unlikely friends, and ultimately find joy in life. Edward (Jack Nicholson) is used to living a lavish life and it showed in the hospital scene. His personal assistant Thomas (Sean Hayes) comes every morning and makes him his usual espresso and is taking care of all his personal matters. Edward has the mentality that nothing bad happens to him and he seems to be in a state of denial about his cancer. He comes off at first as a not so nice person. As time progresses on we see a different side of him. He comes off cold to Carter in the beginning and it isn’t until the Bucket Lists come into play that they start to have a friendship. Carter (Morgan Freeman) has lived a hard working man’s life, is married and has grown children. Carter seems like your usual family guy that has the supportive wire and family. He has a wife that wants to make sure that he has the best care he can get. He has come to terms that he has cancer and that his day may be numbered. He expects nothing more than what he had received as care at the hospital. Edward on the other hand...

...The bucket list The Bucket List; what can I say? The Bucket List is a movie starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson about the exploits in life they never got to accomplish and set out to do so after discovering they were going to die. It is an interesting take on death and how to deal with death. It shows many different viewpoints on the subject of death not just from the view of Edward (Nicholson) or Carter (Freeman.) This movie really makes you think about how you live your life. The Bucket List was considered one of the most uplifting movies of the year. These men both view death in different ways. Carter in the beginning accepted death; if he did not accept death yet the movie would have been over fairly quick. You can tell he accepted death because he started writing his bucket list as a metaphorical contract that states he has given his life and is ready to die. However towards the end of the movie it seems Carter has no longer accepted death because he refuses to go back home to his family after starting the list. I think he feels this way because he thinks when he gives up on the list that will signify the end. Edward in the beginning does not accept death he refuses to deal with funeral arrangements and the passing down of his possessions. Towards the end Edward realizes that his life has been fulfilled not from completing the list but truly finding a lifelong friend in Carter. It makes you wonder how different these men’s lives would be if they were not to meet...

...It’s unfortunate to say that life is shorter than one expects. Why waste time when you can be practicing or achieving your goals and dreams; to be successful in life or make an accomplishment that can make you known to the world. Hopefully as time flies by, I will accomplish my three main goals on my Bucket list. Hopefully my dreams and goals will come true and it will prove to other people in this world that having a bucket list can actually work. My three goals are to be scouted from college baseball scouts, have a nice home with six rooms and three bathrooms, and to be remembered for playing the sport that I love which is baseball. One of the accomplishments that I hope to achieve in my life is to be scouted by a college coach. Getting to play on a college team is very hard to achieve. There is an abundant amount of competition around looking for a chance to get scouted. I hope to maintain high averaged grades, keep healthy and not risk injuries, and lastly to motivate myself to become a better athlete. Getting into baseball in college is a huge step further into my future. It will help get everything in my life to stay on track. Also it will help me as a person to become a mature young adult. Which in the long run will greatly impact my life in a positive way....

...yourself and also for your loved ones. Coming to the realization that your life is coming to a close is not easy to do, but it’s important that you do, so you can alter your life to give yourself the ability to enjoy and appreciate what might be your last months of living. In such a difficult time, spending time with your family is very important because the love and support of your family can really give you the confidence and strength to overcome a situation of this magnitude. Everyone has a bucket list; this might be the most opportune time to try to scratch off as many goals as possible. Also, realizing that you can die with a purpose, for a cause, you can use your last few months to help others around the world who are going through a similar situation, or any tough situation in general. There are many ways a person could alter their life if they were going to die shortly, but the three ways I would choose are, spending time with my family, completing some of the goals on my bucket list, and being active in the community and bringing as much change to the world as I possibly can. When it’s all said and done, no one cares more about you than your family; your family will always have your back, no matter the situation or circumstances. The way a family rallies around each other when times are tough is an essential key to gathering the strength to overcoming the hardest of times. The amount of...

...Assignment One If I had the opportunity to spend $100,000 on travelling abroad, there would be no challenge on deciding where to go. I want to go as many places as possible in life, but I already have some countries that are on the top of my bucket list. The top places I want to go are Thailand, Peru, Costa Rica, New Zealand, Greece, and Iceland. Considering though that $100,000 dollars would go a long way, I would also want to go around France and Italy, as well as visit the United Arab Emirates. Travelling is a great chance to explore and open your mind to new people, new culture, new foods, and so much more. Thailand has been a dream of mine for many years, its vast mix of things to do and new experiences to be had make it highly appealing in my eyes. One thing that I think would be amazing to experience in Thailand is the wildlife; wild monkeys, elephants, sea turtles, and so much more. Thailand also offers such a rich...

...a parts store that he has applied at deny him work based upon his past or because he is on the registry? I feel that this sex offender registry should be a ranked system. It is only hurting those who messed up once in their lives. This guy has only messed up once doesn’t even have a traffic ticket. But because he is on the sex offender registry he gets a lot of flak. This is because there is no system to it. The people who put the registry together just put every sex offender in the same bucket. I feel wrong just knowing that our society does this. Should we throw every traffic violation on a list and throw them in the same bucket? Would this be for the betterment of traffic users? No, this would just create problems. First if you did this then the same person that had a no seat belt ticket would be in the same list as the person that ran over someone. This would be wrong. So why then should we put all sex offenders on the same list? Another thing that needs to be changed with the list is the way the information is displayed. For example this friend of mine was convicted when he was...

...KUBLER-ROSS GRIEVING PROCESS “THE BUCKET LIST” Nursing Fundamentals Mrs. Hartman By: Cecelia Z. Harrison 02/25/12 There are five stages of grief; denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. With these stages come the knowledge of grief and its effects on us which equips us to cope with life and loss. These stages are responses to loss that many people have, but there is not a typical response to loss as there is no typical loss. Our grief is as individual as our lives. The five stages are, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance which is the foundation of learning to live with the “lost”. They are tools to help us identify what we may be feeling. Not everyone goes through all of them nor do they go through them in a set order. Denial is the first stage of grieving in this stage the world becomes meaningless and overwhelming. Life makes no sense. We are in a state of shock and denial. We go numb. We wonder how we can go on, if we can go on, why we should go on. We try to find a way to simply get through each day. Denial and shock help us to cope and make survival possible. Denial helps us to pace our feelings of grief. There is a grace in denial. It is nature’s way of letting in only as much as we can handle. As you accept the reality of the loss and start to ask yourself questions, you are unknowingly beginning the healing process. You are becoming stronger, and the denial is beginning to fade. But as you proceed, all the feelings you...

...processed and transmitted claim. The claim process starts by the healthcare facility collecting information, such as, the patient’s condition, the physician’s diagnosis and a list of all procedures performed. This information is then sent to the insurance company. Healthcare facilities that submit electronic claims use a clearinghouse. Clearinghouse: a clearinghouse acts as a third person that takes claims information from a healthcare facility and sends it to the insurance company. The clearinghouse checks the claims for errors and also makes sure that procedures and diagnosis are coded correctly. Explanation of Benefits (EOB): a document that is sent to patients from the insurance company explaining what services where paid for by the insurance company. An Explanation of Benefits usually includes, patient’s name, patient’s insurance ID number, claim number, provider information, type of service, date or service, charges, total patient cost and the amount the patient is responsible for paying. Bucket Billing: in bucket billing the healthcare facility decides how much to charge for a procedure, the insurance company reimburses the healthcare facility for that procedure and if that reimbursement does not cover the full bill, what is left over is then billed to the patient. That is called bucket billing. Benefit of Using Electronic Claims Clearinghouses Using an electronic claims clearinghouse have a lot of advantages, the first being its good for the environment...

... FCWR 151 Professor Chris Patterson How to Essay How To Wash Your Car We all know that we can pay to get our car washed, but why pay the expensive price of a professional when you can get the same results doing it yourself? You will save money and have the satisfaction of doing it yourself. The actual washing of the car is not that hard, but you have to have the right supplies to get a professional job. You may have some of these items or you may have to purchase them. This is a list of things you will need: bucket, water, soap, wash cloth, and something to dry the surface of the car off. First, get the thing you already have. You need a clean, two to five gallon bucket to put the soap in. Next you will need a clean cloth to wash the car with. This needs to be about two to three square foot. A kitchen towel will work well, just make sure it is clean and made of cotton. You will also need a large bath towel to off the car. This towel needs to be lint free and very absorbent. Although a towel is adequate, you can purchase a leather chamois, which works the best, but are expensive. Now that you know what you have to purchase, go to your local automotive store to get the rest. You will need automotive type soap. It is important that the soap is designed for a car ‘s finish. Regular dish soap or detergent will not work...
