Word Verification

On most classmates blogs, when you leave a comment you have to type a word in a box for the comment to be posted. After about half way into the semester I started to notice some of them were funny, and I began to jot them down.


Here is a sample of my list:


citatti - is that a new ice cream flavor?
cositi - Gesundheit
mings - and things
porecon - fights clogged pores fast!
undism - Ich bin Ausländer und sprechen nicht gut Deutsch, und das auto ist kaput.
dring - around the roses
gingings - oh this is just my favorite
redrappi - a new restaurant opening downtown
wherie - I am so...
graphi - ummm, you forgot the 'c'
miesses - is that a new mouse breed?

Last Show & Tell

I thought this would be fitting since President Obama recently received his Nobel Peace Prize. Apparently this is how he got it:


How to Be Considered for a Nobel Prize

Things You'll Need:
* Internet Access
* Computers

Instructions

Step 1
Distinguish yourself through outstanding work in one of the Nobel categories: literature, physics, chemistry, peace, economics or physiology/medicine.

Step 2
Get nominated. Each year the Nobel committee sends out thousands of invitations for nominations to scientists, professors and members of academic societies throughout the world.

Step 3
Wait for the good news. Nominations received by February 1 will be voted on by October of the same year.

Step 4
Visit the nominations section of the Nobel Prize Web site (see nobelprize.org) for more information.

Tips & Warnings

*Getting along well with your colleagues internationally is an important part of being considered, because others decide whether you'll be nominated.

*The prize is named for Alfred Nobel, who willed a large sum of money for the prizes. The first prizes were given on December 10, 1901, which was the fifth anniversary of Nobel's death.

Project 5 ReDesign

Here is my redesign for my package. I took another look at air fresheners and odor eliminators. I found that almost every package has light pastel colors, lots of light blues, pinks, purples, etc. I shrunk the nose a tad and clothespin, but I felt if I made the clothespin smaller, you might not be able to really tell what it is. Now it’s time to actually construct it.

I really like how the instructions are clean and simple. The photos are easy to follow and their dead pet's head on a stick is ultra cute.
