There are movies you see and wonder how you missed out when they hit theaters. Adaptation is one of those! Let me try to explain. It's like picking a scab and then watching it begin to heal again. The process seems all to normal until you really think about the science involved in the reproduction of skin (cells). Mitosis, like the asexual nature of plant cell reproduction, is really about restoring life or more clearly, creating it.

Adaptation (The Movie) takes off when a scre...

Exploration can take you to many places. You don't have to hop on a bus, train, or plane to experience it either. Books on tape are an extraordinary tool, if you decide to take the shortcut with reading. Another experience with BOT brought me to a point where I at least questioned whether or not the birds and the bees should be told using another creature roaming the earth. Eels in particular, just because of my recent exposure to Memoirs of A Geisha written by Arthur Golden.

Eels and caves ...

First you have to consider what fashion is to you. Then you will be able to determine what your perception is about our latest share. Is fashion just what you wear on the outside? Does fashion include only clothing or does it go deeper?

For us here at Abornewords, it's easy to recognize that fashion goes deeper than what you might see on the outer exterior of ones body. Bloomers are our latest find. We had to share it with you once we spotted these in one of our favorite c...

First encounters with new information or a new resource used for gaining knowledge is almost like a first impression. You will never forget your first time! That connection with something fresh and new can't be overlooked very easily. Such an encounter happened to me just recently not with a person or new clothes, but with resources. The local library in my area happens to stock loads of BOT (books on tape). Sure it seems to have been around forever, except I had never tried it. Since that's ...

The concept of having power rest on whether or not you realize you have it and then using it to your advantage to achieve goals. Looking at buying and selling, no matter if it be products or service, presents an opportunity to examine the role of buyers and sellers and how power balances differ for each of the two.

Loyal customers product knowledge, product manufacturers and bargaining skill all present opportunities for an exchange or demonstration of power. Take a look at how Abornewords ex...

There are so many executives and consumers alike who may see door to door sales as tired, outdated or all so passe. Sure, the days of door to door sales may be few and far etween but every now and then in city neighborhoods, you will still see an ice cream truck, a van, or even a station wagon rolling through peddling goodies of some sort. Snacks, clothing, watermelon, fruits, veggies, and even seafood can be purchased right outside your door. All you have to do is listen for the bell or the ...

One Reporter used the "Houston we have a problem" phrase while sharing the news of Dwight Howards free agency move to Texas. It wasn't a total shock after hearing several televised sports casters speculate on which way Superstar Howard would go. it was clear before number 12 made his decision that he had more than enough prospective teams to choose from. Now we know Houston won! The buzz of the news spread like wild fire and so did Kobe Bryants Twitter Account moves.

Can a virgin really be reborn? We got into a discussion about this topic here at Abornewords after watching a clip featuring Anna Faris on David Letterman, and I was on the fence at first. Once a woman takes the leap to become sexually active can she ever make it back to some type of purity? Clearly there is a line that has been crossed that takes her out of the class of the none. I realized quickly that thinking about purity...
