My Favorite Christmas Song

I have known this song since I was four, thanks to my kindergarten teacher, Jim Sommerfeldt.  And I own this episode, from Batman: the Animated Series.  I wanted to share it with you because it is my favorite Christmas song ever. 




But seriously, folks, Merry Christmas!

Chocolate Suckers
Market Day 11/23/10

Previous sales at mini market day: 10 suckers

Note:
I think keeping track of inventory is important because on mini market day I didn’t count inventory and it really messed me up later on in this project with my accounting. It messed up my till on mini market day too because I didn’t know how much I sold.

Beginning Inventory: 42 total

(5) #1 Dad sold 2
(6) Butterfly sold out
(3) Football sold out
(5) Girl Designs sold out
(8) Mittens sold out
(5) Race car sold out
(6) Snowflake sold out
(4) Turkey sold out

End Inventory
(3) #1 Dad

Number of suckers sold: 47 out of 50 mini market day and Market Day combined.

IMPORTANT STUFF-

total gross- 35.75
total cost-13.25
sucker income-29.25 MD 6.25 mmd
money invested for capital raised by Xavi's work -10.70
donation to united way -3.00
payment for mr.schiller- 1.00
TOTAL PROFIT = 29.20


Reflections on the entire market day project

Product:
I think I made good product because I sold a lot on mini market day which told me I had a product kids wanted to buy. I was happy that I sold a lot and gave my customers a good product. I noticed footballs and race cars sold a lot on mini market day.

Candy making is tough because you have to be very neat and patient to do the cooking and setting the molds up. But my Aunt Gail did most of the shopping and gave me the molds. In return I drew her a portrait for her Halloween party and she bought an easel and displayed it. She like it a lot. I also sent a thank you email. It is important in business to keep good business relations.

Pricing:
I think I decided on a good price for my suckers. A lot of people had exact change and were happy with the price.

It costs around .25 to make a sucker and I sell it for .75 so I make about .50 per sucker I sell. So that leaves me with a huge profit that I am very happy with.


Changes:
If I could change one thing I did for market day it would be my advertising posters. I could have made them better by making the signs bigger so more people would have noticed them.

Satisfied Customers:
It is also important to have good product so no asks for refunds. If they did ask for a refund I would have given them their money back but ask for the sucker back too.

Conclusion:
I really learned a lot about marketing with this project. It was really tough to under stand a lot of the money statements and conclusions. But at the end I found out the purposes of the organazation.

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!

This is a awesome picture of Black Panther, Hawkeye, and Captain America, fighting HYDRA and AIM! Pretty cool, huh? This is a preview poster of 'Widows Sting' the new Avengers episode coming up tomorrow. Yes there's a new time for avengers earths mightiest heroes. Its on sundays on 10 A.M. too 10:30 A.M.

Any ways, I'm going too make a poster for every episode, so if you get any information on the upcoming episodes please email it too me at my gmail address: jkxygolden. (You know gmail addresses are at gmail.com, right?)  About This upcoming episode, Hawkeye and his friends are trying to infiltrate HYDRA and assasinate Baron Strucker the administrator for HYDRA! Big mission, huh?

Two in one post!

WHAM! POW! what a way to start a morning! A boring blog-post about my pictures. Trust me I would love too be playing Fury's Escape on Cartoon Network but I'm stuck on level 11. The first picture is a fight scene of Avengers vs Masters of Evil. The tan guy fighting Goliath is Power Man a 20 ft colossus with the strength of a mammoth on steroids. The guy fighting good ol' hammer swinging goldilocks is the Impaling Executioner, and that sock face in the right corner is Baron Zemo. More later gotta clean my room!

AVENGERS episode 6 PRIEVIEW!

The Avengers 6'th episode is premiering on Wednesday. The Black Panther and the Avengers vs. Wakanda. But hey! isn't The Panther, the king of wakanda? Actually the White Gorilla tribe invaded it! in one of the lead up clips it shows the original Black Panther beat up the White Ape, the chief of the White Gorillas in a fight to see who take/gains control of wakanda . But it gets unfair when Klaw (AKA Ulyseiss Klaw the man who found out that the Black panthers Vibranium metal can be used too make dangerous sound waves) uses his sound beam to distract the Panther while Ape does the rest. Yes the original Black Panther was slain. (=

The Avengers have just recently fought Simon Williams the brother of Hydra lieutenant, Grim Reaper! Tony Stark trys to save Simons company by buying it but Simon thinks stark is burying it. Simon goes to his brother Grim Reaper! Reaper takes him to AIM the same people who made the Scythe that takes place of his right hand.AIM turns simon into a radioactive Bio-Freak. By now the two Avengers who are Thor and Wasp that had chased a AIM droneto base see MODOK, AIM's boss. Iron Man and Ant man are left too fight him. Simon figures out his Ion body is disintegrating. Simon dies but is brought back by the Enchantress! (=

BB+B AND AVENGERS

Bat Splash and Avengers Assembled! I have found out what this blog is lacking! VIDEOS, CLIPS, AND MUSIC. Sounds stupid right? Well I don't think so. You guys don't get the experience that I get. I bet you all would like my blog more if I added videos! Like latest Batman Brave and the Bold eps. or Avengers previews.

I'd like to end up this post with a review of the latest Batman eps. but my dad hasn't seen it yet so too bad so sad. But I do have some cool pics of the AVENGERS show. (= (look at top)

VBS

Wednesday was the last day of Vacation Bible School. The topic was Moses. My mom did crafts, my dad told the story, and Mrs.Leslie (my Sunday school teacher) directed the whole thing.
Wanna see pictures!

These are Mezuzahs!

The lessons my dad taught were amazing! Did you know that Moses was 80 when he saw the burning bush?! I didn't.


Thats all folks.

adopt your own virtual pet!

STAR WARS

STAR WARS in concert!!!!!!!!! was just last night and it was amazing.Wanna see some pictures from the museum before?

The museum had almost every character from all of the movies.  It had screens that showed clips of the character next to the figures.  They also had a section that showed how the vehicles work, and how they did the computer animated people, which was super cool.  Did you know for General Grievous they did someone in a green screen suit holding two lightsabers and they animated him from that?

The show was done by an orchestra and choir that was ultra-cool.  It sounded like it was coming from the screen, not from the orchestra.  They were telling the story of Star Wars - all 6 episodes in order.  The narrator was Anthony Daniels, the actor who played C3-P0.  He did an ultra-cool job and did do some lines from the movies.

My family and the Ortquist's saw it. Mr.Ortquist is a major STAR WARS fan. He has an entire room of it and its amazing. here are some pics of it.

Remember to click on the pics for the full glory.

That's all, folks!

B-movie

Have you seen the first batman movie ever made? I have! Heck, I even own it! It released in 1967. You probably think I'm nuts because the (so-called) first Batman movie came out in the 80's. And that wasn't even Batman Begins.
The first Batman movie was based off the old TV show. Who knew? I did. It also had Robin. the villains were Joker, Penguin, Riddler, and Catwoman.



That's all folks!!!!!!!

Gimme a G! Gimme a O! Gimme a L! Gimme a F! GOLF (camp)! Is what I'm doing this week. Today we worked on the swing and posture. So if your Dads or Grandpas watch golf you know what I mean. I did medium my sister, eh.



See more tomorrow!

DC STRENGTH

These are my charts of who is the strongest in the DC Universe. the first 3 anyways.

Super Man: 100,000,0 lbs 1
Dark Sied: 909,00o 2 1/2
Super Man prime: 890,000 3

Batman and the Flash

There are two villains and two heroes to this picture.  The heroes are Batman and Flash and the villains are Captain Cold and Weather Wizard.  The robot is the Cold-Drone.  I completely made that but thought it would be cool.  (Pun unintended.)   I made this for Tommy on the Bat Blog for making that post about my birthday.  Thanks, Tommy!  I really liked that post and now I'm on the national internet!

This was inspired by Requiem for the Scarlet Speedster, A brave and the Bold episode about the three Flashes.  Jay Garrick, the first Flash, the second Flash, Barry Allen, and Kid Flash (who later becomes the third Flash) Wally West.  The story is about how Professor Zoom trapped the Flash (Barry Allen) so that everyone thinks he's dead.  I think they made this episode because Barry Allen did die in the comic book but he came back.

Hero Funnies #2: The Sky's the Limit

Hero Funnies

This is another one of my Hero Funnies.  It is mainly about the Fantastic Four story where Galactus grounds Silver Surfer to the earth.  He used to be able to go anywhere in the universe.  But since he betrayed Galactus by turning on him, and using all his powers against Galactus to stop him from eating the earth, Galactus put a barrier up so that the Surfer could not pass and go into space.  So the sky really is his limit.

Kind of sad when you think about it.

Do you have a screw loose?

Hero Funnies

This is one of my funnies.  Mini-Marvels and Superhero Squad inspired it.  If any kids are reading this, or the parents of kids who watch Cartoon Network, they will probably know Superhero Squad.  For the other people, it is practically the Marvel artists and writers to just make a funny, jokish spoof on superheroes.

Mini-Marvels is a 1 or 2 page comic by Chris Giarusso that is usually put in the back of all ages comics.  It is written from the perspective of the Marvel universe as if the heroes were third graders.  It is very funny and me and my sister love it.

Anyways, these strips of mine are about the superheroes' lives and what they have to do to keep their lives from being destructed or to keep their daily routine going.  Enjoy!

What Do You Notice? - I

This is my 'what do you notice' picture. I did it for my dad. my dad says that the 'Look and Find' books drive him up the wall so I did 'what do you notice?  Any ways, the heroes (across) are Thor, Tony Stark, Iron man, Hulk and Captain America (really far right). Villains (down) : Loki, Whip Lash, Gremlin and Attuma.

What do you notice?  Put in the comments what you notice.

Thor vs Loki: the Battle of the Millisecond

This is my picture that I drew and colored myself, of Thor kicking Loki's butt.  

Thor is the Asgardian god of weather.  He can make rain, tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires and he can draw lightning.  His hammer, Mjolner, is really heavy, so it hurts.  There is a Thor movie coming up in 2011 but I am very excited.

Loki is the Asgardian god of mischief.  He has no special weapon but likes to taunt his brother, Thor, which usually ends up with Thor throwing his hammer at him.  Loki is also going to be in the Thor movie, but I do not know if they're going to make toys of him for the movie.

The big guy in the back is Odin, Thor's dad.The god on the far left is Heimdall; next to him is Fandral (the blondie); next to him is the very, very, very heavy 1000 pound Volstagg.  Next to Volstagg is Sif, Thor's soon to become wife.

ENDETH,

Xavi

Awesome! Anyone will love it. People who don't have an interest in superheroes shouldn't watch this.

ULTRON SUPREME PART 3 (or) 1st Anniversary Post

Part 1 and Part 2


With a huge 'BOOM' the fight was on. But you might want to know who's in the Avengers.

Roll Call:
Black Panther
Captain America
Hawkeye
Iron Man
Scarlet Witch
Vision
War Bird
Wasp
Yellow Jacket
(look these guys up for who they are or ask in the comments)

Ultron moved first, "you will lose, Avengers say your pra--" the Avengers attacked. Hawkeye shot Ultron with a sting arrow. "Arrrghh!!" he yelled, "Drones attack!" Millions of bullets flew at the Avengers.

Captain America, Iron Man, and Vision did their best to deflect the shots while Yellow Jacket, Wasp, and Scarlet Witch blasted the drones. Their plan was working perfectly but they forgot about Ultron.

He attacked Hawkeye first because he wasn't in action. Soon Hawkeye was unconscious. But then Ultron made his mistake. He forgot about the other Avengers.

"AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!!" Yelled Captain America. BANG CRASH BONG and BOOM as Thor's hammer Mjoilner slammed on top of Ultrons head. "Thor?" Exclaimed Wasp. "I t'was bored" said Thor, the god of thunder.

"Talk about strength in numbers," said Yellow Jacket as the team looked down at the disassembled body of Ultron.


THE END (or) HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

IRON MAN 2 review. some content from movie.

Today I watched Iron man 2 on the big screen. It was awesome. Lots of armor on armor violence . The main villain was Whip lash, a Russian guy who wanted revenge on the Starks because Howard Stark stole his fathers technology. And War Machine was Rhodie, Tony's best friend. He took one of Iron man's suits to fight hm when Tony got drunk. Justin Hammer who is another bad guy was like a would-be Tony Stark who hated Iron man. At the end, theres a big fight with a armored Whip lash vs Iron man and War Machine. Thats all folks.

ULTRON SUPREME PART 2

''Whats Ultron up to?" Asked Iron Man over the intercom who had been informed of the recent news. "A bunch of his slave drones just nullified Dr. Doom." Responded Captain America. Hours later the Avengers Finally got there and Captain America finally said "AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!!!!"

Did all this make you curious? Just read my post on May 4

ULTRON SUPREME PART 1

POW! BANG! Went Captain America's shield as it crumpled five Doom bots. "Give it up Doom!" shouted Captain America! Doctor Doom just laughed as he he sent more waves of Doom bots. "HA! soon I will have taken over America, then the..."AAAAAAHHHRRRGGH" yelled Doctor Doom! "ULTRON SUPREME, ULTRON SUPREME" Chanted hundreds of ULTRONTM Drones after they all nullified Doctor Doom with DOOM NullifiersTM "uh-oh" said Captain America "I'm
gonna need back up."


TO BE CONTINUED ON MAY 6

SUPER CREATIONS FAVORITES

These are my three favorite subjects, my top 3 episodes, game sites and books.

BATMAN: BRAVE AND THE BOLD EPISODE COUNT DOWN!!!!  A good Brave and the Bold episode has classic heroes, a good team up and a good story.  Like if there is tension at the end.

1. Game Over for Owl man-a action packed episode with Joker, Owlman, and altrenete Batmans!
2. Aqua mans Outrages Adventure- filled with mini-adventures with Aqua man's family road trip!
3. Clash of the Metal Men-first the Metal Men prove their strength by beating chemo then tackle the Gas Gang

GAME SITE COUNT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  A good gamesite has to have games that I like.  Usually superhero games.  Fun - has a good story.  Don't like things where you click around, but where you're a character and you're moving and fighting villains.

1. DC Beyond.com-new super hero games every month!
2. Marvelkids.com- Awesome games like my favariote one :HULK VS!
3. Primarygames.com- games like Taco Fu and Save the Sheriff!

BOOK COUNTDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  A good book usually has a good plot, funny action sequences and really good, likable characters.

1. Percy Jackson series- Mason Osborne loves these books and so do I!
2. Captian Underpants- the Waist-band Warrior is back!
3. Harry Potter- the chosen one is a favariote!!!!!!!!!!!!

stuff,

Dr.Mid-nite, Hour man, Wild cat, Black canary and Hawk man : The Justice Society of America!!




"They're powers quite simple though you should see" If you guessed poetry you're right, in my class thats the new writing genre.

BATMAN: BRAVE AND THE BOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday I got a Batman brave and the bold set called "Stretch Attack Battle Pack!" with Batman (of course) and Plastic man VS. Rubberneck! *see these characters in the Bouncy Boundaries of Evil! Remember my story about them?

I found out about it Thursday on my dad's computer while looking for a Gentleman Ghost. I got ecstatic but it was $20.59. "Dang it, I don't have enough." To see how close I was, I counted my money and luckily had $20, literally counting every penny. (Later I found out I had $19.65.)

Dad said I could earn tax and the trip to the store by vacuuming the car. So on Saturday I finally went to the store, but it was $22.00 plus tax. (And my dad made me figure out the tax.) I was really upset. I started sweating and I ran to my dad. I was scared that I wouldn't be able to buy it. Aaaagh!

Dad asked me if I worked enough to earn the rest. I said yes, because I not only did my mom's car but I did my dad's car. And his car hadn't been cleaned since 1926. At the end, I finally got it.

I'm playing with it up till now. It comes with "Terror on Dinosaur Island" ( Brave and the Bold episode #2), so all of that was worth it even though it was one toy. The plastic man in that set is soooooooooooooo strecthy, the Rubberneck looks like he came out of the T.V set, and the Batman had a bat bazooka!!!!!!!!! I highly recommend it, up to the moon.

JUSTICE LEAGUE/ JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED

In December I got seasons one and two of the Justice League t.v. show from my grandma and grandpa. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and all the rest of the JL in these twenty two minute episodes! Here I have these exclusive guides and clips! Enjoy!!!!!

letter from a fourth grader

Dear Representative Meekhof,

My name is Xavier Golden. I am a student in fourth grade in Ferry Elementary, Grand Haven.

I am concerned about the smoking problem in michigan. It is bad for the person who's smoking and for the people around the person who smokes. its bad for their health and family. so thank you for the "no smoking in public" law .

I think this is how a bill becomes a law. First the bill is made up by someone, then the person gets enough followers. They could get followers by putting up signs. Then it's brought to the House of Representatives to get enough votes to get sent to the senate, and if the senate likes it, it's passed to the governor. But the governor can veto it, but can possibly be over-ruled. Is that the process of how a bill becomes a law?

I am also am worried about the homeless. Is there anything we can do? Could we build home shelters by having the goverment buy the foreclosed houses and homeless could fix them up in exchange?

Thank you for reading this and taking your time.

Sincerely-
Xavier Golden

P.S. this is my dads e-mail account.

P.P.S. I put this letter on my blog x-a-v-i.blogspot.com if you want to comment.

==============
Rep. Meekhof wrote back! Very nice. Here is his letter:

Xavier,
Thanks for your email. It always makes me happy when students contact me. One of my favorite things about being a Representative is meeting with classes when they come to the Capitol and being invited to speak at schools. I think it's great that you're interested in how state government works.

You have a pretty good idea of how a bill becomes a law. Most times people don't go through all the trouble to put up signs and try to get lots of supporters, but that does happen on some big issues. There are two ways of getting a bill started that are more common. The first way starts with either me or my staff. We spend a lot of time thinking about problems that need to be solved and brainstorming ways that we could provide solutions. Sometimes we come up with a solution that we think should be law. Then I introduce it as a bill. The other common way is for someone like yourself to contact me with an idea for a bill. If I think that it's a good idea my staff and I will research it and introduce it as a bill.

Once a bill is introduced it gets assigned to a committee. Each Representative and Senator serves on several committees. The Representative that introduces the bill needs to convince the chairperson of the committee to hold a committee hearing for the bill. If a hearing does not happen, then the bill never goes any farther. If a hearing gets scheduled the bill sponsor gets several people or groups to come in and testify to the committee about why the bill should pass. The committee asks these people lots of questions. Then the committee votes on the bill. If the majority votes no then the bill doesn't go any farther, if they vote yes it goes to the next step. After this you had it exactly right. It goes to the full House, then to the Senate, then to the Governor.

I am also concerned about the homeless. Right now the state has a whole department that focuses on providing housing for people who can't afford it. The Federal government does as well. I do not think that it would be a good idea for the state to buy foreclosed homes for the homeless. This is for two primary reasons. First, there are several charities that already do this. They do a great job getting volunteers to help, and raising money to buy the foreclosed homes. If the state got involved in the same area it would be much more expensive. Charities are some of the most efficient organizations around, while, unfortunately, the state does not have a reputation for efficiency. The Government does help these charities with their efforts by providing tax deductions for people who donate to charities. This helps the charities raise money. The second reason I don't think the state should be involved is the cost. The state budget seems to always have a deficit because the economy is so bad. The state is collecting less in taxes because people are out of work and spending less money. If the state would start a new program that bought homes it would be very expensive. We would either have to cut spending in other important areas or raise taxes. Cutting more spending would be difficult since no one wants to see more cuts to schools, local governments, or human services, but raising taxes is also dangerous because it often causes businesses to close or move out of the state.

Thanks again for writing me. Please feel free to email again if you have any more questions!

Sincerely,
Arlan
