...My Special Guy Ashford University My Special Guy I had always been skeptical of blind dates but in this case I decided to give it a try. My best friend Tamisha had set up a blind date for myself and a friend of her then boyfriend. She did my hair as preparation for my date. I did my makeup and got dressed, came out of the bedroom awaiting her approval. After she fluffed me up a bit more, he called and told me he was outside. We stood outside waiting for his car to pull up in front of our apartment. When he arrived he stood outside the car and I walked towards him a bundle of nerves. He wasn’t very tall, about five eleven. Dark complexion, perfect teeth, low cut hair and just my type. I didn’t even introduce myself to him properly because I was so nervous. He laughed and said, Nice to meet you. I’m Jamaal.” He walked me to the passenger side car door to let me in his 2004 Chevy Impala. I sat down took a deep breath told myself to relax as he closed the door and walked back to the driver’s side. He told me he was taking me to Red Lobster. I was fine with that. I was just hoping that the date would go as good as he looked. We talked a lot throughout the dinner date. I felt comfortable around him, like I had known him for years. I felt that I could open up to him and let him get to know me. I told him about my childhood, my family life and bout past boyfriends. In return he told me all about his sisters and mom. How his dad passed when he was 12. As he spoke to me I noticed...

...Chemical Imbalance. It was a warm sunny summer day. James walked smiling down the street but slightly nervous as he was running a little late for an encounter with his blind date Rose, which he had looked forward to with anticipation. He had been set up by his good friends to go on a blind date. They thought it was about time, that he came back on the market after the breakup with his girlfriend, which he had been in a long-term relationship with. He wanted to look as good as possible, of course, as he wanted to make a good impression on his blind date, who he had been told was a very beautiful woman. Therefore, he was wearing his favorite light yellow short-sleeved button up shirt tucked down his shorts and sneakers. He had also shaved himself and put on his Old Spice aftershave like his father always had used. They had decided to meet at a small contemporary café downtown over lunch. When he came inside, he spotted her instantly at the table near the window. Her beautiful features enlightened the whole room, and it was hard not to overlook them. They instantly caught each other’s eyes and she waved him over. The first thing she thought when she saw him was “Oh my God, what am I doing on a blind date with this guy. He is not at all what I expected.” After a few thoughts, she decided that she would give him a chance, as there might would be more to him than she could tell by the first glance and she had promised her friends to give him a chance no matter what. He was...

...Romeo and Juliet, everything happens very quickly, this is why one of the main themes in Romeo and Juliet is haste. As a result of haste, Romeo and Juliet wind up married and dead within the course of five days. Throughout this play, three characters stand out when it comes to haste; Capulet, Juliet, and of course Romeo. Once Capulet decides that he wants Paris and Juliet to be married, he tries to move things along very quickly. At first, Capulet wants Paris to wait two years before he marries Juliet because she is so young. “My child is yet a stranger in the world, / She hath not seen the change of fourteen years; / Let two more summers wither in their pride, / Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride” (Shakespeare, 1.2.8-11). Capulet then changes his mind but is furious when Juliet does not want to marry Paris. “Is she not proud? doth she not count her blest, / Unworthy as she is, that we have wrought / So worthy a gentleman to be her bride?” (3.5.143-145), “Hang thee, young baggage, disobedient wretch! / I tell thee what: get thee to church a’Thursday, / Or never after look me in the face” (3.5.160-162). Although Juliet does not agree to marry Paris, Capulet agrees for her and makes the wedding date Thursday. Capulet is so anxious for this marriage to happen, that when Juliet finally agrees, he changes the date to Wednesday. Capulet is very quick to make this wedding happen as a result of haste. Due to the fact that Juliet is quite young, she is impatient and moves...

...named Salzman. Leo denies many women by learning about them through Salzman and even goes on a date with one and still doesn’t find any of the women interesting. Salzman gives Leo a stack of pictures to look through to see if he has any interest in them based off of their looks. One of the women in the pictures catches his eye and he falls in love with her. We learn that this picture was not meant to be in the stack and Salzman admits the young woman is his daughter, Stella. The awakening of passion and love, the definition of identity and the search for love are all involved in Leo’s experience with Salzman. The author demonstrates that people tend to learn a lot about themselves, for instance the ability to love, through life’s trials and tribulations such as dating. Leo approaches his desired feelings of passion and desire with resistance and confusion. At the beginning of the story, Leo contemplates getting a matchmaker unsure how it will turn out. Leo Finkle…had been advised by an acquaintance that he might find it easier to win himself a congregation if he were married. Since he had no present prospects of marriage, after two tormented days of turning it over in his mind, he called in Pinye Salzman (627). Leo was hesitant to start dating because he didn’t know anyone personally he could go on a date with to start a potential relationship, therefore he doesn’t know how to date. This is why he thought of contacting the matchmaker, because he felt he had been so busy working...

...CHAPTER 3 INDIVIDUAL TAXATION Individual Taxation—An Overview[->0] OBJECTIVES After completing Chapter 3, you should be able to: 1. Understand the components of the tax formula. 2. Apply the standard deduction to each filing status. 3. Determine whether an individual qualifies as a personal exemption. 4. Distinguish among the five different filing statuses. 5. Apply the tax tables and the tax rate schedules to taxable income. OVERVIEW This chapter discusses the components of the tax formula and studies the implications of the standard deduction to the taxpayer. Additionally, the qualifications for the personal exemption are analyzed. Finally, the basic filing statuses are examined as well as the role of the tax tables and the tax rate schedules. ¶3001 COMPONENTS OF THE TAX FORMULA[->1] Taxable income is computed using one of the two overall accounting methods, the cash method or the accrual method. It is also possible to use a combination of the two overall methods. Under the cash method, income is reported when it is received and deductions are taken when the expense is paid. The accrual method requires income to be reported when all the events necessary to fix the right to receive payment have occurred and there is reasonable certainty regarding the amount. Likewise, accrual basis taxpayers usually claim a deduction in the year in which all events that fix the liability have occurred, provided the amount of the liability is reasonably determinable. A basic understanding...

...place alongside the Bible, Sophocles’ Oedipus the Rex, Dante’s The Divine Comedy, Cervantes’ Don Quixote, Shakespeare’s Hamlet, and Tolstoy’s War and Peace as among the most popular and most highly praised literary works in history. Remarkably, Homer had no authors to imitate, no prototypical literature to guide him, for literature—indeed, civilization itself—was still in its infancy when he composed his works. He was the world's first great writer, a model for others to imitate. .......Scholars conjecture from scraps of evidence that Homer was a blind poet who may have been born on the island of Chios (also spelled in English as Khios) in the Aegean Sea; in Smyrna, a seaport in western Turkey; in Colophon, near Ephesus, Turkey; on Rhodes, an Aegean island; in Salamis, Cyprus; or in Athens or Argos on the Greek mainland. Because of the dearth of information about him, it is not possible to determine specific details about his life: where he lived, whether he was married, when he died. In fact, it is not even possible to determine whether he was one person or several. .......Homer probably composed his works between 700 and 800...
