Family Dinner Picture

My Brand: Vans shoe and clothing company (vans.com)

     It's the evening after a school day.  All you want to do is have fun, but Magnum P.I. wants you to sit down and have a family dinner.  Sure this will connect you to your family and you'll build strong relationships, but wouldn't you rather just grab a burger and go hang out with your friends?

     "Come on son! We're having that meat loaf you hate for dinner!", says your mustachioed father figure.

You reply,
     "Can I just go hang out with my friends instead, Dad?"

     "Lemme think uh NO!", he demands.

     You're faced with a tough decision. On one hand, you get free food from people who are kinda legally required to love you and stuff. On the other, you could go play video games with your smelly friends.

     "EAT YOUR DAMN MEATLOAF SON."

    Yes, your loving family and your life can be lame sometimes.

News Release

Wright Brothers Make The First Successful Human Flight

By: Ryan Sprenkle

The brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright have successfully completed the first engine-powered controlled flight on December 17,1903 in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.  This is the first ever sustained heavier-than-air human flight in history. After many attempts with other air crafts, the brothers finally achieved success with their engine powered, wooden air craft known as the Wright Flyer I.

The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, are from Dayton, Ohio. They first worked in print, operating a business which Orville created.  When the new sensation over the invention of the safety bicycle grew, the Wright brothers took advantage of the opportunity to open a bicycle shop.  They used this business to fund their interests in flight and their first experimental air crafts, leading to the eventual first flight.
