To date, a countless number of parents of young babies have been pestered with the problem of diaper-changing their babies outdoors. Parents who take their very young babies out on shopping, travel, or just for a fun walk in the park, know that the babies need to be diaper-changed about every 2 hours or so. We may be tempted to ask whether this is problem or fun? It’s more of problem than fun because:
1. The baby’s diapers need to be changed or the irritation can leave the child crabby and cranky. If there is no public restroom nearby, the baby must be taken to one’s car (if any) or some other place of convenience to do the diaper-changing job.
2. In case, a public restroom is available, it is often crowded for the parent to wait and unhygienic for the baby to be safe from infections. Bacterial and viral infections can cause vomiting and urinary tract problems in the child.
3. Many dads find it hard to diaper-change their baby girls in men’s restrooms which frequently lack diaper-changing tables.
4. Many public restrooms drive parents queasy due to their lack of cleanliness.
How could all these problems be remedied in one solution? Well, the solution has arrived in form of the Abiie Stroller with a BabyDeck-a technological innovation of Abiie LLC. The BabyDeck is a foldable platform that is part of the stroller’s seat but can be flipped out anytime, anywhere, to change the baby’s diapers on it. Thus, no need for parents to look for a public restroom in case their baby’s nature’s call chimes in or wait in a crowded restroom for their turn. The BabyDeck will be easy to clean with a non-toxic disinfectant and hence no risk of disease for the child. Abiie Stroller with a BabyDeck is coming out in March 2008 and it will put an end to the annoyance of parents who have to diaper-change their babies outdoors, in shopping malls, or during travel. More information about Abiie Stroller is there at Abiie’s website http://www.mybabydeck.com/index.htm.

A 13 year old girl commits suicide as a result of myspace hoax..
By: jake.brown | 13-11-2007
A 13 year old girl named Megan Meier was the victim of a myspace.com hoax. An overweight and depressed teen, she became friends with a young 16-year-old boy named "Josh". After befriending "Josh," Josh became mean and began sending nasty messages. As a result of breaking her heart, Megan hung herself. Only after months of grieving have the parents found out that parents of an ex-friend of Megan's were behind the hoax and there was no "Josh." Neighbors were supposedly "trying to teach teen a lesson." Police say no criminal charges will be filed because there is no proof that this is what caused the suicide.What do you think? There needs to be accountability, no? Do you think it's absurd that Megan's parents cannot press criminal charges? This family that "tried to teach teen lesson" pretended for sometime to be sorry for the Meier family and sent condolences. What is wrong with people that they can do such a horrible thing?
