...Lindy Ward February 19, 2013 ENG 110 Process Analysis Cookies for Shelby Baking cookies with my five-year-old daughter Shelby is quite an event. I love the mess and the chaos involved. She is my only child, and she won’t love baking cookies with me forever. I should probably make more time for baking. After all, the end result is always a success. The hardest part for me is to remember to set the butter out at room temperature the day before. Surprisingly, Shelby is always more excited about the process than the end result. I remember baking cookies with my mom as a child. I only remember the Christmas cookie event, because there probably was not mid-year cookie baking taking place. I hope Shelby holds on to our baking memories as she grows up. The beginning of this cooking fiasco is putting on the proper attire. There are two beige aprons that hang in our kitchen. A red and black swirl design screen printed on the front surrounds the word “Mommy” on mine, and “Me” on hers. They were a gift from one of Shelby’s schoolteachers. She typically hands me mine, we both put them on and she waits for me to tie hers behind her back. Shelby would cook every meal with me if I let her. Unfortunately, cooking with my child is not conducive to efficient meal preparation, or edible meals for that matter. Now that we are properly dressed, we collect all of our ingredients. We get from the pantry, the flour, white and brown sugar, salt, and baking soda. Then we open...

...SHELBY CROSSING HEALTH CAMPUS Long-Term Care (LTC) will continue to be a needed service for Americans today as the population becomes older. As the population continues to grow, there becomes a need for LTC support. There is roughly one-third of today’s population who will never have LTC, but the other 20% will for more than five years. The average person uses this service for approximately three years, which comes out to be 69% of the population. The reasons for LTC are various, but facing the facts it is needed. Topics elaborated in this paper will be the need for a facility, demographics, and a description of the LTC facilities floor plans. LTC services are obtained when individuals can no longer perform daily activities on their own like dressing, bathing, and cooking. This usually is the outcome of a disability or an illness. Some situations call for more extensive care for illness or disability such as confusion, memory loss, or other cognitive impairments like Alzheimer’s disease. Roughly 70% of individuals over 65 receive some type of long-term care service in their lives, and over 40% will be or are placed in nursing home facilities (Department of Health and Human Services, 2013). So, the need for a long-term care facility that specializes in memory care as well is vital to the aging population. Forgetfulness is a part of aging and is becoming more prevalent but can be very annoying to those going through it. The need for this facility is the inadequate amount...

...To: Shelby Givens, GM of Sugar Bowl From: Sarah Petty, Date: January 29, 2013 Subject: CSR and its employees contribution Ms. Givens, I have come up with a strategical approach to develop the Sugar Bowl work process. I want to start off with introducing CSR first. Then, how Sugar Bowl’s employees can contribute the company better and do their best. Corporate Social Responsibility Corporate Social Responsibility is defined as the voluntary activities undertaken by a company to operate in an economic, social and environmentally sustainable manner. Corporate social responsibility may also be referred to as "corporate citizenship" and can involve incurring short-term costs that do not provide an immediate financial benefit to the company, but instead promote positive social and environmental change. Companies recognize the value of incorporating CSR practices into their operations abroad. Operating responsibly also plays an important role in promoting Canadian values internationally and contributes to the sustainable development of communities. Companies have a lot of power in the community and in the national economy. They control a lot of assets, and may have billions in cash at their disposal for socially conscious investments and programs. Some companies may engage in interest in corporate responsibility, but many large corporations are devoting real time and money to environmental sustainability programs, alternative energy, and various social welfare initiatives...

...600,000 Americans lost their lives in this war, with the North having been more effected. The North had no regrets about the war. They were satisfied that the slaves were free, and the Union was preserved. The South began to glorify what they called “the lost cause”. The generals from the south became mythic heroes. As they looked back at the war they almost regretted surrendering. Historian Shelby Foote left us with this note. “Any understanding of this nation has to be based . . . on an understanding of the Civil War. . . . The Civil War defined us as what we are, and it opened us to being what we became, good and bad things. It is very necessary if you’re going to understand the American character in the 20th century to learn about this enormous catastrophe of the mid-19th century. It was the crossroads of our being”. What does this tell us about the United States? What did Foote mean when he spoke these words? We may also think to ourselves. Why didn’t the South win? There leaders were supposedly brilliant and they lost fewer men then the North, right? What did Historian Shelby Foote mean in his quote above? He is saying that it is necessary to learn about this huge catastrophe that happened in the mid 19th century before judging Americans or even becoming one. This is what makes us Americans and what put us where we are today. To understand the United States you must have knowledge of what our countries been through, what we have lost and what we have gained. The Civil...

...Japanese cars, two auto part stores, a large body shop and car painting business, and an auto salvage yard. David Bennett, owner of BASS, went into the car business when he inherited a Ford dealership from her father. He was able to capitalize on her knowledge and experience to build her business into the diversified and successful mini-empire it is today. Her motto “Sell ‘em today, repair ‘em tomorrow!” reflects a strategy that he refers to in private as “Get ‘em coming and going”. Bennett has always retained a soft spot in her heart for a high-performance Mustangs and just acquired 1965 Shelby Mustang GT 350 that needs a lot of restoration. He also notes the public’s going interest in the restoration of vintage automobiles. Bennett is thinking of expanding into the vintage car restoration business and needs help in accessing the feasibility of such a move. He wants restore her 1965 Shelby Mustang to mint condition, or as close to mint condition as possible. If he decides to go into the car restoring business, he can use the Mustang as an exhibit in sales and advertising and take it to auto shows to attract business for the new shop. Bennett believes that many people want the thrill of restoring an old car themselves, but they do not have time to run down all the old parts. Still, others just want to own a vintage auto because it is different and many of them have plenty of money to pay someone to restore an auto for them. Bennett wants the new business to appear to both types...

...united behind the single, common cause of fighting suburban sprawl. The defeat of a developer’s plans to construct a shopping mall in the 1980s was testament to their grassroots capabilities. d. The Piedmont Environmental Council spearheaded efforts to protect the site from development. e. The Manassas Battlefield Park had long been a point of controversy involving those who wish to preserve its historic integrity. Preservationists in the 1980s were already successful in preventing the development of a similar Marriott Co. theme-park near Manassas. f. Vocal opponents included prominent historians, namely David McCullough (a Pulitzer Prize winning biographer and narrator of a public television series on the Civil War), Shelby Foote (a Civil War scholar), and members of the American Historical and Southern Historical Associations. The above reveals the number of business, community activist, and political stakeholders involved in this this project, and the necessity for Disney to develop relationships with all parties represented. In evaluating all the perspectives represented, this project would be a...

...Big as it is, Canepa Design is easy to miss. The discreet boxy building sits just off a busy street in the quiet northern California town of Scotts Valley, just up the winding highway from Santa Cruz. But for car lovers, this place beams like St. Peter’s, an inviting treasure chest stuffed with classic automobiles worthy of pilgrimage. Vintage racing Porsches rub sheetmetal shoulders with iconic ‘60s Ferraris, which sit mere wheel-wells away from the last Shelby Cobra to exit the factory gates. Some vehicles are being restored for their wealthy owners, others are being spiffed up to hit Canepa Design’s showroom, while a few enjoy some mechanical pampering before being returned to their places of honor upstairs in the on-site motorsports museum. “I never get tired of coming to work,” says Bruce Canepa, the racing driver who since 1980 — the heyday of his professional exploits behind the wheel of all manner of Porsche beasts — has quietly turned Canepa Design into one of the foremost auto restoration and classic car sales shops in the nation. “Besides, I’m too obsessed with being in control of all the details to stop coming in.” Obsession and control can be a dangerous cocktail. But not in Canepa’s case. His hands-on personality means the cars coming out of this 70,000-square-foot shop often exceed the exacting standards of his monied clientele. When Canepa leans over the exposed engine bay of the aforementioned 1967 Cobra 427, he points out that “everything on this car...

...Yarger HIS/115 The Civil War in my opinion was a war that could have been avoided if each state could have acted as a whole nation rather than an individual state. This war divided our country and in some areas today they still seem to be fighting the same battle that the north and south fought. The Civil War took place over much of this great nation and as a whole experienced a great loss of life. Between both sides, civilian and even Native Americans over 600,000 deaths were recorded. There were probably many others that were not recorded. Even thought the north lost more soldiers than the south, they won the war which ended up in end of slavery. The south called their part of the war “the lost cause”. According to historian Shelby Foote; “Any understanding of this nation has to be based . . . on an understanding of the Civil War. . . . The Civil War defined us as what we are, and it opened us to being what we became, good and bad things. It is very necessary if you’re going to understand the American character in the 20th century to learn about this enormous catastrophe of the mid-19th century. It was the crossroads of our being.” I feel Foote wrote this so people could understand that the Civil War was the event in history that has made us the nation that we are today. The Civil War has taught us a nation about what we have lost and what we have gained. It also has taught us that if we were to work at something we believe in we can achieve it. To fully understand...

...English Shelby Lee Adams is a well-known and credibly acclaimed American photographer, who has both advocates and critics. He is particularly focused on capturing the Appalachian lifestyle, in areas such as Kentucky, because he wants to give a glimpse of the impoverished lifestyle of his subjects. While it is interesting to see the disparity between our culture and theirs, it’s also shocking to realize that people live like this every day. Although he denies it, Adams’ photographs are frequently seen as exploitive because they create a distorted image of society for his own personal gain. The photographs’ dismal qualities seem to display a lifestyle where the people look distraught amidst a culture of despair. Despite the controversial appearances of his photos, his finished works still make an impression on society, whether it’s a good or bad one. The photographs are professionally done, and they reveal his prowess as an artist and photographer. While the photography of Shelby Lee Adams is widely criticized for being exploitive of the Appalachian culture, it should be valued for its validity in the eyes of his subjects and artistic qualities. While Adams has been criticized for faking his camaraderie with the people of Appalachia in order to gain their trust, his link to the area cannot be disputed. He was born in Hazard, in eastern Kentucky and after moving around from place to place, he returned to Hot Spot, KY where he attended high school. He accredits his childhood experiences...

...Pushed up against the wall, Shelby shuddered in a disgusting mix of fear and anger. The older man looked into her averted eyes with lust as he pinned her to the wall harder. His thigh was digging into hers and he was relishing the power he held over her. She struggled again, causing her to receive a slap to the face. Cheek stinging, she snarled at the man, "So this was your plan all along. Get me in trouble, get me alone, abuse me." She spat each word with remarkable confidence. She had once read that an argument is scariest when you deliver it through a calm and even voice. So she bit her lip, fighting to keep her voice from quivering and to keep him from seeing her fear. "You wish you were pretty enough for me to want you."...

...I am legend “I am Legend” is a sci-fi movie based on a brilliant military scientist, Robert Neville, whom becomes the last man on earth. He becomes the last man on earth because of a man-made untreatable virus which turns people into flesh eating zombies. He is immune to the virus and the only one who can save humanity. He spends several years trying to control the virus and also broadcasting radio signals for any other survivors. The Zombies creep around in the shadows, observing the scientist’s every move until he makes a fatal mistake. I liked this movie because the effectiveness and dialogue of it were accurate and I didn’t get lost watching all the scenes. The special effects and background coincided with what was going on throughout the movie and also appeared to be realistic. The performance of the main character, Will Smith, was phenomenal and I also felt as if I was in his shoes. Several aspects during certain scenes made the movie stand out from the thousands of movies I’ve watched. When Neville was driving around New York City with his dog Sam in a 2009 ford mustang GT500, the roar of the engine and the watchful eye of his dog following the deers symbolized modern hunting. After they got out on foot and began chasing the wild animals into the growing forest and the lions appeared out of the fields to take Neville’s priced deer gave me the idea that earth was reverting back into prehistoric times. Finally, when he sacrificed his life after he realized...

...In Shelby County v. Holder, the State of Alabama challenged two provisions of the Voting Rights Act (“Act”) that regulated voting laws at the state level. Section Five of the Act required state and local governments with a history of voter discrimination to obtain preclearance from the federal government before implementing changes to their voting laws. Section Four set forth a coverage formula to identify states that would be subject to the preclearance requirement. In 2006, Congress voted overwhelmingly to reauthorize the Act for another twenty-five years. The Senate voted 98-0 in favor of re-authorization. Alabama challenged the constitutionality of Sections Four and Five and argued, among other things, that current incidents of voter discrimination were no worse than in states that were not subject to the preclearance requirement....
