There has been much excitement over Apple’s newest notebook release, the MacBook Air–The world’s thinnest notebook.
With it’s undoubtedly sexy and sleek design, the biggest hype over the world’s thinnest notebook is just that–the MacBook Air so thin that it fits comfortably into a manila envelope and is estimated to be about the width of your index finger. But with a notebook that thin and it’s price of [starting at] $1800, are consumers yet again paying for the unmistakable apple logo on the back of their computers or did the new design really call for such a demand of innovative hardware that the price is justified?
Whatever the case, the MacBook Air is definitely pleasing to the eye and Apple sure did come out with a product that is guaranteed to sell just by the recent hype of the Apple name that came with the releases of the iPod and iPhone. Also, if anything else, they made jaws drop in awe with the MacBook Air’s first released commercial.
For those of you who have old baby furniture stowed away in storage that you swore you would give away to charity, GoodWill, or to expecting parents but never got around to it, fear no more! There is now a way to not only keep furniture you spent good money on maybe years earlier, but actually reuse it and get a lot of use out of it now.
If you have an old baby changing table, Better Homes and Gardens has a wonderful idea to work it back into your everyday life without even hinting towards what it’s purpose used to be.
Take your ordinary baby changing table, get a little creative with it and apply your own, personal taste. The table’s waist-high height, size, and shelves makes it the perfect object to make over into a drink cart. The exterior can be polished, painted, and decorated and it’s shelves give perfect space for bottles, glasses, and snacks. Attach some wheels to the bottom and you’re good to go for your next entertaining event or relaxing night at home.
If you’re not the type to have a drinking cart or don’t have a need for one, your changing table can also be remade into a decoration piece or microwave stand for your kitchen. The possibilities are virtually endless.

I stumbled upon this a few days ago and I immediately got all sorts of excited.
I was a late bloomer when it came to jumping on the Sex and the City bandwagon. I began watching reruns after the show was over and was in syndication and since, watched every episode I could find online. Since then, I have reveled in girly goodness while watching episodes repeatedly and now I cannot wait until the movie comes out.
It’s probably old news to the hardcore Sex and the City fans, but it definitely deserves an announcement of some kind and perhaps I’ll reach those who didn’t already see it. And so I present to you–The the very first trailer that came out! (Although there are others, this is the best and virtually spoiler-free)
Embrace your crazy, unapologetic, over the top girly side!
Television, radio and newspapers; wherever you get your news information from, all people seem to be able to talk about are the 2008 election. This upcoming election is very important, especially considering the war on women’s rights that is only getting more heated and more severe as the election looms closer; especially with the panel of Republicans that have been assembled.
According to US News and World Report, 11 different abortion bans have been introduced to states legislatures just in the past year. With that and with the upcoming election, anti-abortion activists are introducing a variety of ballot initiatives in hopes of abolishing a woman’s right to have control over her own body and reproductive rights.
In the state of Missouri, The Elliot Group, an anti-abortion group which is based out of Illinois, is attempting to introduce a ballot entitled Prevention of Coerced and Unsafe Abortion Act; nice name, huh? Because women are not able to make informed decisions about their bodies and uterus without being coerced.
If The Elliot Group is successful in receiving their mandatory 90,000 signatures to a petition to instate this initiative, it will appear on the 2008 voter’s ballot and the state of Missouri will face an initiative which would require doctors to review abortion-related “medical literature” which will undoubtedly consist of myths made up and enforced by anti-choice activists and literature that is commonly used in crisis pregnancy centers to scare or enforce the so-called immorality of the act of abortion. The doctor will also be required to investigate the background and lifestyle of women seeking abortions as well as prove that it was medically necessary to perform the abortion to save the mother from death or disability that would have occurred if the abortion had not been performed. Furthermore, they take the extra step to insult women across the country by saying that abortion causes long-term physical, psychological and emotional problems; none of which can be scientifically proven. This legislature would also provide absolutely no exception whatsoever for rape and incest victims.
Colorado for Equal Rights, whose name itself is laughable, is working towards adding a ballot initiative to the November 2008 ballot that will amend the state constitution to define a fertilized egg as a person.
Ah yes, fertilized egg–person; omelet–living, breathing, talking, functioning, college-bound human being! Yes, I can definitely see how they go hand in hand.
If this initiative is passed, it will then threaten the use of emergency contraceptives used by literally millions of women across the country. Voters in Colorado will have that to think about if Colorado for Equal Rights gains their needed 76,000 signatures in order to place this initiative on the 2008 ballot.
So think hard women voters of Missouri and Colorado. Even if you do not live in those two states, there are a number of different bans on abortion in a total of 15 different states.
