BE ON THE LOOK-OUT FOR A BRAND NEW LAYOUT // SPRING 2008!

The current layout you’re looking at has ran its course. We’ve been rocking the same look for almost a year, so I thought now, more than ever, would be the perfect time to completely overhaul the look/style of this blog, and try something new! Even though this second version of Think2wice has seen a few “minor” revisions over the past 10 months, I’m ready for something completely different, and I hope that you are too. So for the past couple of weeks, I’ve been putting together a brand new layout that I plan on releasing in the Spring, so definitely be on the look-out for it. Above you can see a little “sneak preview” of how it’s going to look. The next time you see that image, you’ll actually be looking at the brand new THINK2WICE.ORG!

AFTER BEING DENIED, AMY WINEHOUSE GETS U.S. VISA ANYWAY » The U.S. government has reversed its decision from earlier in the week and will be granting Amy Winehouse a visa for Sunday’s Grammy Awards. But the decision came a little too late, so she’s going to stick to her plan to perform live via satellite from London.

“Unfortunately, due to the logistics involved and timing complications, Amy will not be coming to the U.S. this weekend to perform at the Grammys in Los Angeles, however she will still be performing via satellite broadcast from London as previously announced this morning. Amy would like to thank all of those people, and in particular the staff involved at the U.S. Embassy in London, who have all worked so hard to expedite her application. She is very sad not to be attending the prestigious awards in person, but wishes to express her heartfelt gratitude to all of those involved in the process,” reps for the nominee said in a statement.

The New York City medical examiner’s office announced Wednesday that actor Heath Ledger died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs.

“Mr. Heath Ledger died as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine,” Ellen Borakave, spokesperson for Office of Chief Medical Examiner, said in a statement.

Heath’s father, Kim Ledger, released a statement following the release of the Medical Examiner’s findings:

“We remain humble as parents and a family, among millions of people worldwide who may have suffered the tragic loss of a child. Few can understand the hollow, wrenching, and enduring agony parents silently suffer when a child predeceases them. Today’s results put an end to speculation, but our son’s beautiful spirit and enduring memory will forever remain in our hearts. While no medications were taken in excess, we learned today the combination of doctor-prescribed drugs proved lethal for our boy. Heath’s accidental death serves as a caution to the hidden dangers of combining prescription medication, even at low dosage. CONTINUE READING
