If you’ve ever run across a "403 Forbidden" error on a web site, it means you’ve either stumbled onto the wrong page, or you’ve been snooping where you shouldn’t be! One nice thing about the Hypertext Transfer Protocol that runs the web (HTTP for short) is that it includes helpful status codes such as "404 Not Found" when a resource can’t be found and "403 Forbidden" when the web site you’re knocking at does not want you to come in. One rarely seen status code is the elusive "200 OK" which basically means that everything went fine, and you’re seeing the page you’re supposed to be seeing!

We thought it sure would be handy if life came with status codes, but since it doesn’t, we did the next best thing and printed them on stuff you wear. But not just any old stuff - we had to try something different, and print them on undies. So we bring you HTTPanties for the discriminating woman who would prefer a web-savvy and somewhat-direct approach in the romance department.

Feeling frisky? Well then don the black "200 OK" panties and see where they take you. Alternatively, the white "403 Forbidden" style sends a very different and hopefully clear message. We think "411 Length Required" and "413 Requested Entity Too Large" are pretty self-explanatory.

The apparel costs $7.99 each.

The thing about going shopping at brick and mortar stores is that when you have bought too much, you would have to leave the area carrying a number of bags in your hand. Unlike online shopping, this is such an inconvenience. Not to mention if you’ve got children or a whole family in tow. Of course, not everyone shops with a personal assistant to carry these bags for you.

The solution for this?

Get the Baggler!

The Baggler is made of plastic polymer. It’s friendly to the environment and the design is capable of holding plenty of bags in one scoop!

Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the hit film, Twilight, is releasing a companion book to the movie called — “Twilight: Director’s Notebook - The Story of How We Made the Movie”. It will be scheduled for release a few days before the DVD hits the stands in March.

The director says —- “With this book, I tried to show fans and future directors some of the process that the crew and I went through filming Twilight. My challenge was to translate Stephenie [Meyer]’s powerful book and make you feel what she makes you feel when you read her works.”

There is no word yet on where the book can be pre-ordered but check your favorite online bookstore for this or visit the official sites.

Are you done with wrapping those gifts yet? Or are you still doing some last minute Christmas errands and gift-wrapping?

I turn to Martha Stewart for tips on some of those last-minute preparations. Some of it include the following below.

• To make gift wrapping less hectic, buy a variety of papers in a beautiful palette that works with any ribbon you choose.
• To distinguish identically wrapped presents, vary the color, width, and texture of the ribbons.
• Gift tags aren’t necessary if each family member is assigned a different color wrapping. Choose papers in solid hues that will complement one another and enhance the colors on your tree.
• Ribbons and tags can get crushed, so don’t add them until you’re ready to unveil your gifts.
• Using the same type of ribbon is an attractive way to unify packages wrapped in different papers.
  Save bits of ribbons, seam binding, and twine along with decorative fruit, silk leaves, and miniature Christmas ornaments for adorning packages.
• Gift tags are all the sweeter when they happen to be crisp cookies. To make them, cut gingerbread dough into shapes or letters, punch with a small hole for threading with cord, and bake. The cookies can be eaten while the unwrapping takes place, or hung on a tree as ornaments.
• Decorate with a familiar face (or many of them). Print or copy a photo onto heavyweight paper. Then wrap the package with a wide band of ribbon. Using double-sided tape, secure the photo to ribbon. You can use the photos to identify the giver or the getter, or attach one favorite photo to all your presents.

The other two choices are meant for all-occasions. The set comes with the jar, too. The burn time for each candle is about 140 hours each.

If not intended as gifts, you can buy yourself sets and decorate your garden with these candles for Christmas. Or you can also adorn the inside of your house with it. Let it sit against mirror, in a glass vase, lined up on the staircase or in an unused fireplace….and create a very dramatic effect. Candles enhances the mood to the season. More so because it is scented, the atmosphere will look and smell even better this holiday!
