The Spencer Hotel & Spa has introduced a series of writers’ workshops that provide an environment for inspiring writers and artists to develop their skills and vision by bringing them together with today’s top professionals in a unique environment.

Chautauqua, New York January 20, 2008 — The Spencer Hotel & Spa has introduced a series of writers’ workshops that provide an environment for inspiring writers and artists to develop their skills and vision by bringing them together with today’s top professionals in a unique environment.

Each five day workshop (limited to 20 students) is taught by award-winning authors and artists eager to share their professional wisdom. In addition to the professional instruction, students may choose from yoga, meditation, dance classes, watercolor instruction, spa treatments, massage therapy, hiking, and bicycling. Meals are enjoyed together, class size is limited, and the schedule of instructors changes annually to provide a diverse, entertaining choice.

The Hotel’s location within the Chautauqua Institution (a gated resort community located on Chautauqua Lake in western New York), offers a quiet setting for reading and writing. Workshop classes are held at the Chautauqua Institution’s Hulquist Conference Center, while the surrounding landscape of Bestor Park and plentiful gardens provides an enchanting setting for all to enjoy.

The Spencer is newly renovated, boutique hotel with 26 luxurious rooms and suites. It houses the oldest literary society in America, and opens its gates to all who enjoy a tale. New York Times once titled Chautauqua Institution as “Camelot, a place where time is forgotten and the arts flourish.”

“The Hotel offers a distinctive literary theme which celebrates the life and works of history’s most revered authors. Each room pays homage to a renowned author, depicting scenes from their most famous works,” Innkeeper Helen Briggs states. “I love literature and like to read, and so I decided what better place to create a literary theme than in Chautauqua,” Helen continues.

MACWORLD SAN FRANCISCO—January 15, 2008—Apple® today unveiled MacBook® Air, the world’s thinnest notebook. MacBook Air measures an unprecedented 0.16-inches at its thinnest point, while its maximum height of 0.76-inches is less than the thinnest point on competing notebooks. MacBook Air has a stunning 13.3-inch LED-backlit widescreen display, a full-size and backlit keyboard, a built-in iSight® video camera for video conferencing, and a spacious trackpad with multi-touch gesture support so users can pinch, rotate and swipe. MacBook Air is powered by a 1.6 GHz or 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 4MB L2 cache, and includes as standard features 2GB of memory, an 80GB 1.8-inch hard drive, and the latest 802.11n Wi-Fi technology and Bluetooth 2.1.

“We’ve built the world’s thinnest notebook—without sacrificing a full-size keyboard or a full-size 13-inch display,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “When you first see MacBook Air, it’s hard to believe it’s a high-performance notebook with a full-size keyboard and display. But it is.”

MacBook Air has a vibrant 13.3-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen display that is energy efficient, and its spacious trackpad offers multi-touch gesture support for pinch, rotate and swipe, making it more intuitive than ever to browse and rotate photos or zoom into web pages in Safari™. MacBook Air features a full-size keyboard design in a sleek and durable aluminum enclosure. The backlit keyboard makes it ideal for dimly lit environments such as airplanes, studios or conference halls, and a built-in ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the brightness of the keys as well as the display brightness for optimal visibility.

MacBook Air delivers up to five hours of battery life for wireless productivity and includes AirPort Extreme® 802.11n Wi-Fi networking, which delivers up to five times the performance and twice the range of 802.11g*. Apple’s Migration Assistant software now enables users to quickly transfer files, applications and preferences from your old Mac® to MacBook Air right over your wireless network.

MacBook Air users can buy the companion MacBook Air SuperDrive, a compact external drive designed for MacBook Air, for just $99. The MacBook Air SuperDrive® is powered by MacBook Air’s USB port, eliminating the need to carry a separate power adapter. Many MacBook Air users will not find a need for an optical drive now that they can wirelessly rent movies from the iTunes® Store, wirelessly backup files with Time Capsule and access the optical drives on remote PCs or Macs to wirelessly install software applications on MacBook Air.

MacBook Air is powered by Intel Core 2 Duo processors running at 1.6 GHz or 1.8 GHz, and includes as standard 2GB of memory and an 80GB 1.8-inch hard drive. An optional 64GB solid state drive contains no moving parts for added durability. Every MacBook Air includes a micro-DVI port so users can connect to Apple’s gorgeous 20-inch or 23-inch Cinema Displays to extend their desktop or connect to projectors and other displays via DVI, VGA, Composite and S-video adapters. MacBook Air includes USB 2.0 for plugging in peripherals or charging an iPod® or iPhone™, a headphone jack and Apple’s acclaimed MagSafe® Power Adapter designed especially for mobile users.

Every MacBook Air comes with iLife® ‘08, the most significant update ever to Apple’s award-winning suite of digital lifestyle applications, featuring a major new version of iPhoto® and a completely reinvented iMovie®, both seamlessly integrated with the new .Mac Web Gallery for online photo and video sharing. The new MacBook Air also comes with Leopard™, the sixth major release of the world’s most advanced operating system. Leopard introduces Time Machine™, an effortless way to automatically back up everything on a Mac; a redesigned Finder that lets users quickly browse and share files between multiple Macs; Quick Look, a new way to instantly see files without opening an application; Spaces, an intuitive new feature used to create groups of applications and instantly switch between them; a brand new desktop with Stacks, a new way to easily access files from the Dock; and major enhancements to Mail and iChat®. .Mac members can use the new Back to My Mac feature to browse and access files on their home computer from a MacBook Air over the Internet while out on the road.

ConnectMyPhone Has Tips to Lower Your Monthly Phone Bill

Houston, TX January 17, 2008 — ConnectMyPhone.com, an online marketplace that helps customers nationwide set up their phone service, has a few suggestions keep people’s monthly phone bills low.

There are several reasons why a person could be paying too much for home phone service - perhaps they didn’t shop around or they signed up for services that they really don’t use. Sometimes, because having a phone is a necessity in today’s day and age, people don’t realize that it is worthwhile to take some time to research their phone plan.

Below are some tips to better help consumers get a phone plan that meets their budget:

• Family Phone Habits - Folks need to pay attention to the times of day they use the phone and if they call long distance. Knowing what time of day and if they place long distance calls can allow them to choose a plan that has cheaper rates and best fits their lifestyle.
• Landline or Cell Phone - Perhaps having both is a necessity; remember that high-speed Internet and some home security systems need landline phone service to work.
• Research Phone Companies - Don’t just go with the first company that comes to mind as there is choice in many areas.
• Bundle Home Services - Cheaper prices are now available if consumers choose to have one company service their home with phone, high-speed Internet and cable.
