Now that is a huge picture with a lot of colors but what the heck is that. A designer home humidifier. You think it looks weird. Have a look how it looks like when you put in into a corner in your home. How much does this thing cost you ask me. A whopping USd 220 . Is it worth the money? There are money other humidifiers out there that boasts of higher capability. I have not tried it out myself but from the looks of it the only thing I can say is it looks good to me :) .

The best stocks for 2008

(Fortune Magazine) — We’ll say this for the U.S. economy: It can take a punch.

Consider the blows it has absorbed just this year. The worst real estate crash since the Great   Depression. Pow! Oil prices up from $50 to $90 a barrel since last January. Bam! A   subprime mortgage mess metastaElectronic Artssizing into a full-blown credit crisis, with   banks swallowing billions in losses and cutting back on loans. Baff!

Yet through all the punishment, the economy has barely flinched. “I’m floored by how resilient it has been,”Annaly Capital Management says veteran stock strategist Ed Yardeni of Oak Associates. “Had you told me at the beginning of the year this was going to happen, I doubt I would have been very optimistic.”

That’s why forecasting 2008 is so difficult. History tells us that oil shocks, real estate crashes, and banking crises are harbingers of downturns. Confidence has already plunged as consumers have been pinched by rising energy prices and falling home values.

Many a times you’ve seen women carrying fashionable handbags and purses that catches your eye and you crave to have something similar. A typical example of “Neighbor’s Envy, Owner’s Pride”. But then again, how many times have you looked at a handbag and tried to imagine what’s inside it? Would be a fun game to guess the stuff that lies inside an opaque bag, and I know many of us would have played such games as kids! But suddenly, something that I am about to tell you might not make this idea a fun game anymore! In fact, I felt it was downright spooky to imagine what would happen if we could really see inside a handbag!!

Think Geek, the creators of stuff for geeks is out with something intriguing yet cool for some and spooky for the others, an X-Ray Bag that shows the contents inside your bag! Right in time for Halloween, huh?! These X-Ray tote and shoulder bags made of a space-age woven plastic fiber appear to have been bombarded by X-rays and magically make your eyes sensitive to their reflection. So now, what you carry inside is no longer a secret! Whether its something interesting like a wad of cash, credit cards, i-phone or diamonds, or something as fickle as sunglasses or a pair of clothes, you choose what to show, and even when it is only a hoax, it is one cool trick that will leave people agape! Just buy a bag with neutral stuff on it and a thief will never even think of trying to steal something from that tote-bag…After all, what use is a pair of clothes to him:)

For those who wish to carry real precious stuff, but sadly don’t actually get to buy it, you can live your whims by buying a bag with fancy article images…Be bold and daring, and pick one that suits you! If you are interested in buying one, click here.

I don’t think I’d like to carry one myself personally, but I have seen someone else carrying it, and I was intrigued enough to stop and give her bag a hard look! The x-ray effect is tantalizing, and this would be a cool gift for a teen!
