Okay so… I was very satisfied with the group i was provided with they all pulled their own weight and worked diligently and came up with almost a exact idea as I pictured. Some things I would have changed were that my group would have worked a little more closely that what they did. things that went bad someone kept trying to take the lead and have us work kind of like a minion and kind of like we were doing he/she’s project. Also we all kind of worked in little sections like the web and logo and stuff like that but all and all the project turned out pretty good except for i missed me in the dorky commercial. Strong links in my team? Yes everyone worked out their part really good and it kinda split up the project and made it a lot easier even though we did not communicate a lot during this project. Also to go along with your questions i was happy with the evaluations of my group. Things we could do to improve make the commercial a little longer like the rest it was like one of those really annoying short commercials. Slightly confused but I think it would have gone better if we had like worked on the site together and like i said a little bit ago if we would have worked a a little closer it would have gone a lot better. I learned a few things that it takes a lot of planning to do a commercial also that people tend to like comedy or a catchy jingle that they will remember like in the commercials on now like the BMW commercial.

I learned that in advertising you have to be very persuasive. Also that it’s really hard to make a symmetrical logo like with the top sellers like McDonalds. The challenges my group have faced is that we couldn’t decide whether to put candy into our product or not. Also the logo is a big one it took us awhile to make our logo and we went through at least 10 designs. The name was heavily debated too because apparently it was related to some sexual terms. But we got that all sorted out and got our minds out of the gutter. XD Also our resources were plentiful except for glasses I finally got them the day after we recorded our commercial. But we found that paper works quite well when your in a bind. I think if I had the chance to market this product solo I would have changed it up and made it a little different. I would have actually found someone with glasses; I would have made the commercial a little longer. I think it would have been a little more productive but I still don’t think it would have sold very well on the open market. If anyone stood in a positive way in my group it would be either Ellen or Katherine. Because her and Ellen have played a huge part in the group they have been the ones that helped move us forward and helped us keep going both of them kept up with the ideas for the commercials and they kept us up in a productive state and they also fixed our mess ups. They wouldn’t let us stop until we were done.

So I think the stuff that’s going on in Japan is pretty bad I mean all the old people getting weak from all the shaking, not to mention all the scary things that are happening like all the people dying and not knowing if you’re going to die in your sleep or not. Another thing is the nuclear plants and I would be scared to be around there. They said that the fuel rods were melting in the three damaged plants, and when the rods melt they go down to the bottom of the reactors and they can melt trough the toughest containment. One of the reactors had a hydrogen explosion and it hurt eleven workers that were twenty-five miles away. A couple of days ago the tsunami knocked out the extra coolant and the engineers have to work double time to keep the rods under control so they don’t blow up. I don’t know about you but that’s enough to scare me out of Japan. All the things going on in Japan just scare me and I would be afraid to be within the same country as all that I can only imagine what the people are going through.
Earlier today the engineers tried to cool the reactor with sea water which raised the pressure and the levels of the radioactive fluids. The managers of the reactor knew that explosion was a possibility and they had no other choice to try to avoid a complete melt down. This is why I’m glad we don’t run on nuclear energy .

Hello, again I’m just going to jump right into it because I can’t really think of a start I’m kind of happy wrestling is done but on bad thing is that my knee is like dead =( . I really hope that the fluid that is built up in there goes away because it’s kind of starting to hurt another indoor session is starting =))) I can’t wait to play goal and run a bit ha-ha I’ve really missed soccer while I was wrestling I really can’t wait to put the ole’ cleats back on. I really hope the team I’m on can do better than we did our last indoor game we lost 10 to like 3 it was pretty sad. I really can’t wait for march to start because my spring team is going to start out and I’m going to be playing on a U18 team maybe but most likely U16 (The number is the age group) also I can’t wait for this summer I’ve already got two goalie camps picked out plus a wrestling camp I’m pumped ha-ha. Something I’m not looking forward to is running still to stay part way conditioned for soccer well I’m going to put some other picture of cleats that I might get =)))
