Bears like it so why not humans? This bamboo inspired stereo looks good (ignore the pink) and thru the natural acoustics of cylindrical objects, sounds good too. But it’s not just nature-ry, it also has every accoutrement a technophile would want. Think wifi enabled, wireless speakers, integrated LED screen, MP3 line in, remote desktop syncing, radio, and yes - cd player.
There are 3 parts to the whole system. You have you right/left channel wireless speakers, a base station that houses the subwoofer, and a control ring. Now you could attach everything and use it as a standalone stereo or connect the speakers together with the control ring. A single charge should give you 12 hours. The control ring between them contains the basic music controls. The base station can also wirelessly sync music with your computer, should you be the anti-cd type.

pink speakers for gay guys in pink underwear
Should Indian actors play gay roles?
The refusal of some of the top actors to play a gay character in Madhur Bhandarkar's forthcoming Fashion raises a strong question - Are our actors too careful about their 'safe' image to take up challenging roles such as these? Is it high time they moved out from their formulaic cocoon to address larger social issues through their art?
Or, are they justified in shying away from setting examples that make a point, because in the end, every artist has a right to 'protect' himself from controversy? But when these very stars are ready to face tough criticism of their performances head on, why is it that choosing an untrodden path as far as roles are concerned scares them?
"What are they scared of? Even Hollywood actors like Richard Gere have played sensitive gay roles. I would tell them to come ahead and take up the challenge to set an example", urges Anjali Gopalan, founder and Executive Director of Naz foundation, an NGO involved in GLBT awareness and rights. "It's stupid to have this kind of a discriminating outlook while deciding what role to play", agrees sociologist Dr Urmi Mala Sarkar.
If Shahrukh can crack a light-hearted joke on a television show when being asked what he would do if he discovered he woke up in the morning to find a certain male director sleeping next to him, why can't he approach the deeper subject in his films with greater seriousness?

Barack Obama: where he is now
Barack Obama is now just 169 delegates away from winning the Democratic nomination. It's within sight.
This is a decisive moment in this race.
Barack has already won more votes, more delegates, and more than twice as many states as Senator Clinton, whose path to the nomination has grown extremely narrow. But these loans show that her campaign will continue to contest the remaining primaries vigorously.
We need to show that the voices of more than 1.5 million ordinary people donating whatever they can afford are more powerful than one person giving more than $11 million to their own campaign.

Thom Browne
Thom Browne loves the old red, white, and blue… in his own deeply twisted way. The designer closed his show with 'The Star-Spangled Banner', but it was Jimi Hendrix's cliché-bombing live version that he opted for. That seemed only appropriate, after a presentation that exploded the masculine certitudes of patrician Americana. Browne's shows have transcended mere menswear manifesto to become pieces of surreal performance art -at least, that's one way to interpret a finale composed of a "bride" demurely toting his train of tricolored rosettes down the catwalk with a retinue of lifeguard "bridesmaids" in attendance. Such flourishes -there was also a 60s surfer-dude thing going on, though more as styling cue than thematic undercurrent- ensured the presentation was reminiscent of some of Rei Kawakubo's more provocative propositions in the past. Just like Kawakubo, Browne has yet to encounter a rule he didn't fancy breaking. Hence, proportions so skewed they were positively bizarre. The key word was "short". Very. Suit jackets had sleeves that ended mid-bicep, and shorts were essentially hot pants (hmm, looks oh-so sexy !).
It's Browne's peculiar achievement that such indulgences don't compromise the "maleness" of his men. Even when they were wrapped Lana Tuner–like in big fluffy towels, they were still butch—weird, but butch. That's why his sensibility has infiltrated the menswear mainstream. As far as Trojan horses go, it was easy to imagine this collection's overload on plaid tickling a few fancies. Like a plaid suit covered by a coat in a lacquered version of the same pattern, or a suit, shirt, and tie all matching. Men who have adjusted to the Browne crop will find it in a more generous, fuller-legged, wider-cuffed version for spring.
But that's commerce. It's inevitably more intriguing to speculate on the implications of shirtsleeves extended and knotted straitjacket-style at the back, or suits bulked up to Sasquatch proportions with rosettes. Browne's men are undoubtedly men, but they're not moving as easily in the modern world.

A message from Barack Obama after winning yesterday
Friend --
We just won a decisive victory in North Carolina thanks to people like you.
Indiana remains too close to call. But what is clear is that we did much better than all the pundits predicted, despite Republicans changing parties to support Senator Clinton, believing she would be easier for Senator McCain to defeat.
Here's where we stand.
As of Tuesday morning, we needed just 273 delegates to clinch the nomination. When the votes are fully counted Wednesday morning, we will have gained more than a third of them in a single day.
We have a clear path to victory. But now is the time for each one of us to step up and do what we can to close out this primary.

Fashion for super heroes
The "Met" celebrates the influence of "superhero" comic about fashion
NEW YORK, May 6, 2008 (AFP) - The metamorphosis of the body by the clothing is a constant ambition creators, and an exhibition retraces from Wednesday, May 7 at the Metropolitan Museum in New York the influence of "super-hero" comic books and movies on contemporary fashion.

The 20th century saw the emergence of generations of designers who, to varying degrees, have been inspired by Superman, Spiderman and Captain America, the ideal of justice to the body and eternal youth, who perform feats when they leave their identities are banal and costumes that make them fly, spin, dive and conquer the enemy.
In the lobby of the museum on 5th Avenue, visitors are greeted by Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, three sculptures unpainted stucco, a wink to the "real" marble statues qu'abrîte the establishment .
The showroom, surprising for architecture very austere "Met" is made up of corridors lined with mirrors, a realization of Nathan Crowley, designer of Hollywood who is the particular design of "Batman begins" and "The Dark Knight" which leaves next summer.
On wax mannequins, some sixty models created by the fashion stars like Thierry Mugler and Pierre Cardin in 80 years, John Galliano, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Hussein Chalayan and Alexander McQueen later, show how the Inspiration has come often urban American hero.
Some clothes are well-known as corset-moto by Thierry Mugler for its collection spring-summer 1992, equipped with mirrors and handlebar, or combinat
