...Pamela Hammock Xeco/212 Page 2 I feel that purchasing a new home is one of the biggest decisions a family can be faced with. I know that because of the person that I am the main principle I would use when purchasing a new home is the second one, which was the cost of something is what you give up to get it. However it would be safe to say that a decision this big over a period of time would at some point factor in all 10 of the principles. I feel this way because you never know what the future may hold and if you were to make any mistakes when making this decision it could create all kinds of financial problems. If I were making a decision like this I would have to take several things into consideration. One of the things I would consider is the timing. I would want to take baby steps or so to speak, like building smaller goals and going for those first until I reach the final goal of purchasing the home. I would have to weigh my options as whether to buy a house or renting a bigger apartment would be better than the small studio. Yes we would definitely need something bigger with a baby on the way. Another thing to consider is where you would want to send your child to school especially if you are purchasing a home. You would also have to consider the economy and how the real estate market is holding up. You would not want to buy a house and then the value decrease a year later because of things going on in the economy. I feel that there are definitely a lot of tradeoffs...

...definitions and means something different to everyone. Although no one definition may be the same, they all lead back to one basic idea – faith. Everyone believes that spirituality is something that you believe in and something that you feel. When I asked five very different people what their definition of the word spirituality was I got various answers. The answers ranged from being very religion based to not at all. The first person I asked was a sixteen year old girl. Her response to the question of what spirituality means she said “It means it’s a feeling about being in touch with your soul. That you believe in not just that God rules everything but that everything happens for a reason. Also, that if you are more in touch with yourself that you will be more in touch with the world and that means you will have total happiness.” At this age it is sometimes hard I think to come up with your own personal definition because you still want and are sometimes expected to follow what your parents are doing with their own spirituality. The second person I questioned was an eighteen year old girl. Her statement was that “it is the religious aspect of your personality. It effects how you act, usually making you a better person. It means believing in something bigger than yourself and having faith in humanity.” Next, I asked a friend of mine who is a twenty year old male. He answered with “It is obviously being religions, but it is more than that to an extent. I guess to me it means...

...for more than three hours, having been out the previous night. He was a cutter - a hairdresser - and had to get to work. Once there, as well as having to endure the noise and queues of customers, he had to make conversation all day. `Did you have a good time last night?' his wife asked. They had got married a year ago in Las Vegas. `I think so,' he said. `Where did you go?' She was looking at him. `Don't you know?’ 'I can't remember the early part of the evening. We all met in the pub. Then there was a club and a lot of people. Later there was a porn film.' `Was it good?' `It wasn't human. It was like a butcher's shop. After that ... it gets a little vague.' His wife looked at him in surprise. `That's never happened before. You always like to tell me what you've been doing. I hope it's not the start of something.' `It's not,' said Alfie. `Wait a minute. I'll tell you what I did.' He pulled his jacket from where he had left it, over the back of a chair. He would examine his wallet and see how much money he had spent, whether he had any cocaine left, or if he had collected phone numbers, business cards or taxi receipts that might jog his memory. He was fumbling in his inside pocket when he found something strange. He pulled it out. `What's that?' his wife said. She came closer. `It's a penis,' she said. `You've come home with a man's penis - complete with balls and pubic hair - in your pocket. Where did you get it?' `I don't know,' he said. `You better tell...

...Have you ever wondered how a child thinks? What goes on inside a child’s brain, what do they think as they play with a new toy for the first time, or learn how to do something new like riding a bike. Children are complex and normally learn at a very quick pace, their brains are like an absorbable sponge during the early years of their young lives. Children may learn on their own, or learn from observing others actions. Although I am not longer considered a child, I plan on turning back time and observe children’s actions to try to learn about how children think, learn and play, whether it is on their own or with other children. By the end of this, I would like to be able, and others who read this to be able to have an idea of how children act when they are influenced by others, and how they act on their own. I will begin by explaining the children I have observed and the area of development I decided to focus on. Instead of only choosing one child to observe, I was lucky enough to know someone that has three children of all the same age to observe. At the age of 14, my good friend Shelby Nastase became a proud sister of triplet brothers, two of the boys are identical, Jake and Andrew, and one is fraternal, Alec. The boys are now at the age of six, each with their own vibrant personalities. Although all boys look very much alike, especially the twins, each has their own mind and personality that would defiantly make them their own individual. During my observations...

...In the early 1900s freedom for many minority in the U.S. wasn’t freedom at all. Freedom is something that every living thing has wanted since the moment they were brought into this world.

...Everything would be bland, color and pattern seemingly stripped from our daily lives. Music and dance would not exist, there would be no museums. Advertising would be plain and boring, television would be strictly reality shows, and movies would only be documentaries because the field of theatre wouldn’t exist. Who would want to live in world like that? Art is beautiful and expressive. Every piece of art from paintings to movies each have meaning behind them, conveying something important from its creator’s point of view. Beverly Adams’ Artprize entry “Oh That We Could Shed Our Skin and Begin Again” is a great example of expressive art. Her piece was created to show a longing for a fresh start or a cycle of life through its composition, symbolic expression and an appeal to emotion. Adams’ piece is a two-dimensional canvas painting done with oil paint. Elements include several objects that relate to life in terms of renewal or rebirth. The...

...How to dress trendy according to your body shape We all wish to dress trendily but at the same time we want to look smart, right? Sometimes I try on something fashionable that simply does not go with my body at all, whilst other pieces may be nice for my body shape. I have gathered a bit about each body shape and how to determine what body shape you are. I have also included an ideal outfit and trend. That does not mean you’ve to stick to that trend, it’s just an idea :) Hope you like it! Slender How to determine if you’re slender: Light weight build, small joints, lean muscle, a flat chest, small shoulders, long limbs and not very curvy. Your hip measurements will be regarding the same as your bust measurement or a little bit bigger and your waist are slightly less, but not same as an hourglass. You are lucky to possess a slender body and most garments will fit you perfectly, but sometimes you may feel you want to highlight your feminine curves some more. Garments with frills, ruffles and fluted edges will create size which will provide you those feminine curves you are looking for. An open back can flaunt your sexy back which is the new fashionable cleavage. Chunky statement necklaces that fall around the bust area are great for putting an impression of bigger breast without having to turn to very padded bras. Swirly floral prints can instantly provide a feminine look. Keep jewellery thin and simple because it goes well to your long and slender limbs. Athletic How to determine...

...TMA 02 Outline the nature of the supermarket power on the high street and beyond. Introduction I’m going to explore the way Big Supermarkets have changed the way we do our shopping and how they got to be so big. I will also look deeper into the zero sum game as there is a very strong argument for this against the large supermarket and why people lower down the chain are not benefiting from these large stores. Shopping today has become a large part of our lives, we have gone from buying what’s known as “essentials” i.e., food and clothing to becoming something we do for leisure, or forms a part of our lifestyle where we are purchasing more than just “essentials”. We are now living in what’s commonly called a consumer society. When you look around on your local high street you will more than likely see more big chain shops than small independent businesses like butchers, fruit and veg shops and fishmongers. The chains are growing rapidly in High and are branching out to Retail Parks to give today’s consumers more choice. Supermarket Power and Beyond Today though big supermarket chains have engulfed our high streets, towns and retail sites where they have grown as a rapid speed. Going from selling your essential groceries and household items to now selling electrical, home ware and clothing, this has led to an increase in us shopping all under the one roof for the majority of the things we need on a weekly/monthly basis. So at what point do we use the smaller shops...

...Do you think chavis should’ve been able to come back? I don’t because what he did hurt his coaches and teammates and it cost him to go to the youth pennatinry because he did drugs. But when he did come back he started off bad for example he started a fight with money and it caused money to walk out. He was suspended for fifteen months and he talked to coach bill every day to see if he could come back to the football team if he didn’t mess up again with the drugs and he didn’t use them any.

The only reason the coaches let him return is so he could try to become a good person and try to do better with his life because...

...No matter how you look at it, we have all been influenced by something. This something could be anything a person, place, or even a fictional character. In my case it was a fictional character. I loved batman when I was younger, I wanted to do what he did, talk like he did, eat what he ate, its a little weird but that is how I was influenced. A bigger influence would be the influence Martin Luther King Jr. had on Barack Obama. President Obama would say how large of an influence MLK had on him. Influence can be a small impact or a huge impact in someone’s life. We ourselves also make a huge impact on family, friends, and peers. Anyone that has a younger sibling has heard his or her parents say “Set a good example.” This is an example of influence we have on family members. We influence everyone around us. A person may think its cool or normal what you do so they follow what you do. Everyone is a role model in a way. We are influenced and we also influence and family is a huge part of that. Think about the group of friends that you hang out with. Now think of why you all are friends. There has to be a common denominator amongst yourselves to show why you all are friends. It could be you all listen to the same music, play the same sport, or act the same way. This is an influence. Everyone influences each other. We are all influential. This is why people say to surround yourself with good people because those people influence and impact your life. Usually your...

Not all people were this way, but the people that weren't would just stand back and watch, until that one day… “Why can't you just sit down anywhere else!” he nagged acting like he was the big stuff.

...to buy something or send somebody our money. There are new AT&T “it’s not complicated” commercials. More, Werewolf, Dizzy, Tree House and Grandma. In the beginning at the end of each commercial I thought that it made absolutely no sense until I put everything together. They all make sense but in the most complicated way, you really have to pay attention. In each commercial a guy from AT&T is in a classroom with elementary school kids asking them questions and they respond saying whatever is on their minds. In the more commercial this is what occurred. AT&T Guy: “Who thinks more is better than less?” All the kids raise their hands AT&T Guy: “Okay, why?” Girl: “More is better than less because if stuff is not less... if there's more less stuff then you might, you might want to have some more and your parents just don't let you because there's only a little.” AT&T Guy: “Right” Girl: “We want more. We want more. Like, you really like it. You want more.” AT&T Guy: “I follow you.” Announcer: It's not complicated. More is better, and AT&T has the nation's largest 4G network.” In the werewolf commercial this is what occurred. AT&T Guy: “So do you guys think being fast is better than being slow?” Kids: “Yes.” Girl: “It’s better to be fast to not be beaten by a werewolf, and then you’ll be turned into one. And you’ll have to stay in, and then you have to get shaved, because you’ll be too hot. And then you’re like rarararara which means I wish I was back...

...Smith AL -301 Section 1 February 11, 2013 Campus Event Paper For my campus event of my choice I wanted to choose something that was appealing to me. I wanted to find something fun that I would enjoy instead of something that I didn’t care about and would have been bored with. When I heard of the Mardi Gras event that was going to be held on campus I knew I had to take advantage of that and check it out. The event was held this past Thursday in front of the university student union building and was quite a popular event to say the least. I attended it as soon as I had finished practice, and before I even got there I heard the music from a long ways away. I would say the main reason why I chose this event is because it sounded like something fun. Being an outgoing person looking to always have a fun time, this seemed right up my alley. Another reason also is because I’ve never attended a Marti gras event before. I had an idea what to expect but I didn’t know exactly what was going to be happening. It was definitely a very social event, when I first got there I had to wait in a line that probably had fifty people in front of me. This was definitely a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be. One thing that I liked right off the bat was the music they were playing. I was surprised that the school allowed them to play rap music that is recent that I have heard on the radio. So to me it wasn’t as much as a school event feel, as it felt more like...
