Well Halloween is finally here. Many people look forward to Halloween because they love to watch their children dress up and get lots of candy to bring home to enjoy and get cavities. This Halloween will actually be rather boring for me but i will get to spend time with my family and take my little brother trick or treating.
Well i wont be doing much for Halloween, but today is my birthday and i think when i get off work, my family and i are going to Denver to go out to go to one of my favorite restaurants which is Pappaduexs. They have the best seafood in Colorado. This all depends on the weather and if the highways and interstates stay open. So that is what tonight will bring.
Tomorrow my brother and sister planned a Halloween party with their friends, so there will be screaming kids running around my house the entire day. Then tomorrow night we will be taking them out trick or treating. My brother is dressing up as Jack Sparrow the pirate from Pirates of the Caribbean. Then my sister is dressing up as a old lady, so it will be interesting to see how they both turn out.
I am a rather boring guy when it comes to Halloween, i havent dressed up in probably five years. It really isnt something that i am into anymore, i just love watching my brother and sister dress up and taking them to get candy. I honestly dont remember what i was the last time i did dress up for Halloween. I still like the holiday and everything, i just dont like dressing up for it.

Emotional Ads
This here is a ad about smoking and what it does to your health. It is targeted for everybody but mostly for those who are either in the beginning of their smoking habits or those who have been doing if for years. The emotion that is being conveyed in this picture is that on the poster it says that cause of deaths from car accidents are 370+ and the cause for smoking related causes are over 6000. Under that it says, quit before it hits you.
The ad uses this emotion to show people how many more people die from smoking related causes then car accidents, and their using both examples to show that the cigarette can do quite a bit of damage on that little car. I am sure that there are smokers and who have seen this ad and realize that they have a addiction that needs to be taken care of. I also know that there are non smokers out there that have seen this ad and now know how much more they need to stay away from smoking. Many people see how much car accidents are common everywhere but when they see that there are more deaths from smoking than car accidents that really tells them something.
This is a ad about child abuse and how they are trying to help children in getting this stopped. There are thousands of children who are abused everyday. Many people see some of it going on like for example in grocery stores, schools and in households. This ad is mainly to show viewers that this kind of nonsence needs to be stopped.
The ad uses this emotion to show that we all need to help children who are being abused by turning those in who are being abusive towards a child. Most people would just ignore it because it really isnt their business, but the thing is, is that it is our business. This type of action needs to be stopped because it could hurt the future for those children. This ad uses a small cute little boy with a sad face and by saying that they are not punching bags and they wont stand to take it anymore.They want people to be able to think that that could be their child or one that they know. Everybody should be a part of this in helping these children have a better childhood and future.
Now in this ad it talks about a teen suicide and how everyone can help to stop it. There are many teens out there who get very stressed and depressed over all sorts of things. Many think that their problems will never be fixed and the only way that they can be is by taking their lives. There are many things that can be done to prevent these terrible actions.
The ad uses this emotion by giving many examples on the reasons why many teens commit suicide and it gives a picture of a teenager weeping over a gravestone. Many people who see these planned parenthood ads probably have teenagers and they would be devistated if their teen was to take their own lives. Thats why a lot of parents want to know how things are going at school and with friends because parents are here to help teens in anyway then can. If there is nothing they can do, they want to be able to go out of their way to find someone who can. Many teens are afraid to tell their parents what their problem is. This ad gives some things that might be a possibility. For example, pregnancy. Many teens who either get pregnant or get someone pregnant think that their parents would absolutely freak and they are afraid to tell them so they get stressed and depressed and just want the pain to go away and thats what some of them do. All parents want this stopped and they will go out of their way to help with it.

Wendy's is the Real Deal
Most businesses have come to realize that the best way to advertize their product is by making a commercial that will get peoples attention. Thats what Wendy's did here with their "When its Real" commercial. Wendy's did a very good job with this commercial and in some cases it has gone over very well for them.
When many people see these commercials, they crave it and want to go get some right now. Wendy's went out of their way to make this commercial to get everyones attention. It may have cost a lot to get this commercial onscreen, but that doesn't matter to them because they believe they can get the money back out of it simply by more people going to a Wendy's and buying their food. There was much thought in this on how they were going to make Wendy's skyrocket.
Every fast food chain are in competition with each other and they all do their best to get consumers to go for their product. Wendy's did some things to show consumers that they know what they are doing and that they care. They have gone to show that their meat is not frozen like for example McDonalds, they keep their patty's frozen whereas Wendy's doesnt. Wendy's also as come to show that their vegetables are more fresh and up to date. Many fast food places try to prove these things but Wendy's has come to show that they can do this and will stick with it.

Bad Falcon
One of the biggest topics right now for Colorado is the Balloon Boy from Fort Collins. There has been a huge talk on tv that this was all a hoax. Many people believe that the entire family a possibly one other were all involved in this stunt. There is also belief that the family did it to get on a reality tv show to become more popular.
If I was a publisher, there is no way in hell that I would get this family on their own reality show. The reason for this is because I believe these people are flat out insane to spend months coming up with some way to get on tv. They must think that by doing this they are going to get recognized for something and just all of a sudden get their own show. If I was the publisher for Wife Swap, I wouldnt even let them on another episode because I wouldnt want to encourage that kind of behavior. The Heene family cost the state millions of dollars to chase this balloon for nothing. I dont believe they should be credited anything for that.
The only thing this family wanted to do was to be able to get on tv and that is wrong. Its bad enough when they try to fool their six year old into hiding in the attic but when he comes out he's saying THEY did it for the show. I dont think that just meant the three children, I believe it was the whole family. The father isnt smoothe enough to fool the police or the news and he knows that they are on to him, and he said that he would turn himself in if they had a reason for arresting him. Now that is just giving up too easily.

Informative Paper-Restore International
The class just got done with a informative paper about a organization that helps children out over seas. This organization is called Restore International. Doing this paper helped me realize a lot of things about other peoples cultures and the pain people go through everyday with being forced to do something they dont want to do.
There are many different kinds of organizations out there that help people out. Some of these organizations help with giving food, clothes and even building houses for them so that they have some form of shelter. Restore International does these things as well but much more. Since the President is a lawyer, they are able to help young children, mainly girls, get away from being forced into prostitution. I believe if Restore International helps take control, it will eventually be stopped in these countries. Just hearing about the things that go on over there about makes me sick. I cant believe there are people out there who would want to do such things to small children just so they can make buck. Restore International is doing a good thing here.
Restore International is a great organization and I believe they will go as far as they want to take it. What they are doing for these kids just blows my mind. These ten or so people who are with Restore International are putting their lives in danger doing this thing but they dont care because they are putting these childrens lives first before their very own. There are not many people out there that would do that except for family members. This company for sure will make it in the long run, because they are good hearted people who put others first before themselves.
Doing this paper really opened my eyes to see how much we take for granted. While we are in the U.S. living the good life, they are over there trying to make it through the day everyday. Since i now know about this organization, i will be sure to keep it in my thoughts and share with others about the great deeds they are doing for this world.

All About Me
Have you ever met anybody who lives and breathes speed. Well im that kind of person and my name is Chase Bennett. I am 18 years old and I currently attend NJC in Sterling, Colorado majoring in Business. My goal in the future is to hopefully have my own business of some kind. I have many interests but my main ones are cars and motorcycles. I also have a great family and we do almost everything together.
When i am not in school i am working for my dad. The business is called Roundup Music Inc. and we have jukeboxes, pool tables and many other games in bars here in town and up into Nebraska. We also have all the kiddie rides in the King Soopers up in Denver and actually everywhere in Colorado and one in Wyoming. For my job, i mostly sand down all the rides, which are horses, then i paint them up to look brand new. This is the business that i hope to own someday to keep it in our family which it has been for almost 60 years. The business has to be left in the family.
The things that interest me most are cars and motorcycles. I currently own a 2000 Mustang GT and a 1978 Ford pickup. I hope to have a Harley Davidson within a year if all plans work out. Ever since i could talk the only things that i would talk about were cars and motorcycles, which i blame my dad for because he is just as crazy about these things as i am. The reason i wanted a mustang is because my dad has a 1966 mustang and he also has a Harley which is also the reason why i want one so that we can ride to Sturgis together. The only other things that interest me are spending time with my family and playing the drums.
I am sure that there are people who think they have the best family in the world. Well i know for a fact that i do. I have a 13 year old sister named Tarah and a 6 year old brother named Keegan and then my parents are Eddie and Missy. I also have a pomeranian dog named Chloe. My parents spoil us like crazy. We recently came back from Disney World and the Disney Cruise Line which was a blast. Florida is definitely the best vacation spot to be at. We were also very spoiled there as well. In our spare time as a family we love to watch King of Queens and Seinfeld. Those are two of the best shows ever and its something we all enjoy together at home. Another hobby of ours is going boating at the lake. We try to do that more often when its nice but things can get too busy.
Well this is my life for the most part. If you need to find me, i will either be hanging out with my family, working with my dad, or driving my cars around. You most likely wont see me doing anything else. Im not a real troubled kid other than racing cars which i know im not the only one. If there is anything else you want to know about me just ask.

Sturgis Rally
A rather popular event that will take place next year is the Sturgis Rally in South Dakota. Every single year, thousands of motorcycle riders show up to this event to spend one or two weeks in freedom with other fellow riders. For some people when they think of Sturgis they think of a bunch of troubled riders getting together to party hard and get in fights, for others they think of motorcycle heaven.
Next year in the first two weeks of August Sturgis Bike Rally will be happening. This event takes place in the small town of Sturgis, South Dakota. Sturgis has a population of at least 5,000 people and during Sturgis more than 100,000 people show up for this event. Not everybody stays in this small town, they branch out from about 100 miles away. Many of the local folks rent out their lawns for bikers to set up tents on to make extra money during Sturgis, which is usually very successful for them.
There are many reasons on why people come to Sturgis and its not just bikers who enjoy it. Many people enjoy coming to Sturgis because of the entertainment. Just about every night there is a popular rock band, country band and a comedian. In 2008, Areosmith performed along with KISS. Many others performed as well. There are also motorcycle drag races that go on and that is another attraction that draws people to Sturgis to watch people race their motorcycles which is a blast to go watch.
The rally is also a very good way for people to show off their items. There are many people who work really hard throughout the year to build something mind blowing to show the people at Sturgis. It doesn't cost a thing to get into Sturgis but any souvenirs that you want you pay for. Many people also come to Sturgis to meet famous people. There are biker builders out there that are seen a lot on TV and people will travel to hopefully meet these builders and see what new items they have.
The Sturgis Bike Rally is a very awesome experience. I believe that everybody should see what Sturgis is like because its not what everybody says it is. It is a fun time to be able to see things that can only be seen during Sturgis, to ride with fellow bike riders and just enjoy the scenery of the Black Hills with roaring motorcycles flying by one after the other.

The Trouble with Televison
- Some of Winn's main points are that children would rather watch TV than do family activities. That brings a negative effect on the family because eventually the family would start to grow apart and they would just be doing their own individual things. The parents need to take control with that and make up a system so that doesn't happen.
- Winn's best developed point is TV Allows Kids to Grow Up Less Civilized. The reason its the best developed because it obviously is the topic she knows most about because she explains a lot in it. For some, TV is used to keep kids entertained so that the parents arent bothered while they are getting other things done. This can turn into being a bad thing because if the parents keep allowing their children to watch TV and do whatever they want, it could hurt their relationship with their children in the future. Some may turn out to be troublemakers if parents dont take action with TV watching.
- A point that Winn makes that appears less developed is when she talks about TV keeping Families from Doing Other Things. Winn makes a statement that TV can affect a childs attitude by what they see. That is not always the case. A family activity could be sitting down together and watching a TV show or a movie. If its something they are doing as a family and can keep the family closer together.
- A point that Winn makes that i agree with is when she says it has a negative effect on school achievements. There are many kids out there who would rather watch TV than do their homework. Therefore, they wouldnt get their homework finished so they would get bad grades. There are also kids out there who want the day to go by faster so they can get home and watch their favorite afternoon TV show. They spend most of the day thinking about the TV then they do their school work. I know from experience. Winn says that studies have shown that if kids would not watch TV and do their studies more, they would get better grades and understand what they are doing more.

The Arizona Summer Olympics
The Olympics is a rather huge sporting event that most sport enthusiasts watch. It has become very popular. But the thing is, is 
that some of those people arent able to go to them because they are either in a different country or its on the other side of the country. Well know is the chance for some of those people to be able to experiance a huge Olympic event in Phoenix, Arizona. Now Phoenix has very many appealing features that might make it a very good area to host the Olympics.
Now im sure that many people would like to go to see the Olympics in Phoenix, but they might not know some of features because this is Phoenix's first year for this event. The Olympics will be held at the University of Phoenix Stadium, which is the largest stadium in Phoenix. That is only 10-15 minutes away from the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport which is the only major airport. Phoenix is a rather large city with a population of about 1.5 million. There are also many restaurants to choose from which arent far away from the staduim.
There are many different types of restaurants that are in the area of the stadium and most of them are less than a half a mile away. Some of those places might include grills, pubs, chinese food, mexican food, and many of the major fast foods as well. Those who are coming to from out of state are going to need places to stay as well. Phoenix has a variety of hotels and motels. Many of those include the Hampton Hotel, the Renaissance hotel with a high customer rating, the Holiday Inn Express which just recently opened and many others. All of these hotels are within walking distance of the stadium.
Now Arizona is a hot place to be in, but I am sure that those who are going to the Olympics will put that past them and just enjoy a great time in Phoenix. There are many great things to be offered in Phoenix and hopefully this will be a place that people will want to come back to too see the Olympics.
