Sam Bass

I happen to have a couple of friends, which I meet with regularly, who work at Walmart and are in charge of their respective departments as assistant store managers. They are always speaking of the cost saving measures Walmart rolls out, as well as the social and environmental changes the company is trying to bring forth. I already had a good idea of the work that Walmart was doing with electric and hybrid delivery trucks, as well as many of the sustainability plans that the corporation laid out…

When someone needs to get an assortment of products, they want to go somewhere they can find everything all in one atmosphere. There are many grocery stores and shopping malls in the world today, but Wal-Mart is one of the leading companies. In a Wall-Mart near their vicinity, they can find camping products, grocery items, apparel, and much more. Being in Wal-Mart is one of the most hectic and fascinating experiences someone can and most likely will encounter. Many people have bad and good…

Start with an attack time of 12 to 22 milliseconds. Shorter attack times will begin to have an impact on the attack of the pick on the strings. Watch for this. The release time setting will depend wholly on the tempo of the song and how busy the guitarist’s rhythms are. Set your release time too slow and you will find that the compression is still activated when the attack of the next strum or note happens. This has the effect of trimming of the following attacks and transients. Begin with a…

A Lesson in General Musky Fishing My Experience and Knowledge Concerning Musky Fishing “There you go Austin, reel it in!” my dad said. We were fishing for walleye off a dock at Clear Lake, Iowa. I was only 9 years old. I knew that whatever I had on the line was big, but I had no idea that it would be the first musky I'd ever seen or caught. The fish was mediocre size, having a length of only 31 inches. Nonetheless, I was mesmerized by the musky’s beauty and grace as it swam away from the dock. I…

When I was six years old I was first introduced to the concept of music. I sat down on the floor next to the warmth of the fireplace and listened to my stepdad strum the guitar. I was instantly entranced by what he was playing. Some blues melody that had me engrossed. Looking back the desire to play the guitar, had really just come from me looking up to my stepdad as a father figure, and perhaps wanting reciprocate what he was doing. Whatever the case, I asked if I could try. He handed me the…

On October 1, 2016, I attended Tabernaculo de Dios Filadelphia (Spanish Pentecostal church) special service that can be considered a mini concert. This concert took place in a small church pastored by two elderlies named Angel & Esther Carrasquillo. Pastors Carasquillos are not only pastors but their first ministry back in Puerto Rico was music. They’ve been in the music ministry since they were 15 years old and they are now in their late seventies so they have quite the knowledge and experience…

Bass Pro Shop is a category killer. A category killer is a very large specialty store that concentrates on a major product category and competes on the basis of low prices and product availability. The major product for Bass Pro would be outdoor products. They carry tens of thousands of items for fishing, camping, hunting, and other outdoor sports. The retail positioning for Bass Pro is unique because not many retail stores can say they also serve as theme parks, summer camps and community…

I chose the movie , “ I am Sam.” It was about this mentally retarded guy named Sam, who accidently got a homeless girl pregnant. Right after she had the baby, she left Sam with the little baby girl named, Lucy. Sam has the mind capacity of a 7 year old so raising a little girl could be difficult at times. Sam would take Lucy to IHOP every night and they would both get the same things. But once the state realized that Sam was an unfit parent because he didn’t have a job and he acts the same way…

disabilities because they do not understand them. However, there are people in the world who are willing to help those with disabilities. People whom have disabilities, especially ones like Sam has in the movie I am Sam, understand on some level that they are different and they care how people see them. In the movie Sam is able to teach those around him many things, including Rita on how to be a good parent. Sometimes it is not the people with disabilities that need to learn to adapt but the…
