Ever since I was a little boy, I had dreams of becoming someone great in life. I always imagined myself doing wonderous things and traveling the world. I was born Jeffery Lawrence Culverson Jr on July 29th, 1980 to Tammy Collins and Jeffery Culverson in Las Vegas, Nevada.

My parents had three children; two girls and myself, but they were never together while I was growing

Service Encounter 1 ETSY (Online Shopping) UK I used Etsy to purchase an antique pocket watch for my mother, for mother’s day. On the product page, I was informed that I would receive the product in about five to six business days – which I thought would be perfect as it would arrive in time for mother’s day. I hadn’t used Etsy before so I had nothing to benchmark my experience against. I know a lot of people though who have had experiences ranging from excellent to disastrous. It has been

of a fond memory, but once I thought of some, it was hard to choose a favorite. Growing up I have had many great experiences in the form of vacations. Between going to Disney World, owning a vacation home, hanging out with my grandparents in Arizona, traveling to Canada and more. They all make amazing memories that I will forever cherish.

“It’s down to seven seconds. You see the time…Whittenburg…. Oh it’s a long ways, Oh he’s there! They won it…on a dunk!” Billy Packer said this when covering the historical run by the NC State Wolfpack to win the Division 1 NCAA tournament in a dramatic fashion. A team with no chance of making the tournament, let alone winning the championship, does the impossible and wins the NCAA Division 1 championship. Despite NC State being a smaller school compared to the big basketball powerhouses like

College athletes generate millions of dollars for their schools each year, yet they are not allowed to be compensated beyond a scholarship due to being considered amateurs. College athletes are some of the hardest working people in the nation, having to focus on both school courses and sports. Because athletics take so much time, these student-athletes are always busy.

The book, Napoleon’s Buttons, gets its name from an event that happened with the French leader, Napoleon Bonaparte. The authors of the book, Penny le Couteur and Jay Burreson, found it interesting that there could be a possibility of there being a link between the death of the French soldiers during the 1812 winter war and the fact that their coat buttons were made of tin because tin behaves differently when temperatures drop.
