Vault, in Harlem, just released a new hat that I designed
for them. Baseball team inspired logo combines a
pitched ball with a money sack. It took me awhile to
get the C to look like it was pitching the money ball
just right and still read as a C. The hat is now available
at their shop along with some of my holiday collection.

Back in October, just a week before Eminem released
his autobiography titlted, “The Way I Am” two colorways
of the Air Jordan II designed with Eminem’s handwritten
lyrics adorning the upper were shown. At a launch party
for the book at NORT/Recon, a nearly all black colorway
were on display and Paul Rosenberg Eminem’s manager
posted one photo of the above colorway. The good news
about the above colorway is that they will be available for
purchase, the bad news is that they will be limited to 313
pairs (a major area code of Detroit is 313) and only
available via the Air Jordan Flight Club website. A
portion of the proceeds from the shoe’s sales will go
towards the Marshall Mathers Foundation. They are
tentitively scheduled for December 18th and will be priced at $110.

This is a hot new mixtape I've been playing real heavy lately. It's Adele '88! Adele '88 is one of the latest efforts by Mick Boogie (possibly one of the best DJ's in the game). This CD takes the lyrics to Adele's 19 album and places them over beats from the early 80's. Needless to say I love it!! Click on Adele 1988 to listen.
Make sure you check out Mick Boogie at his website for more info about his work and upcoming events.
I’ve never needed a whole lot of room for my socks, but this set of drawers from designer Martin Sämmer would definitely fill the ticket. Designed to allow consumer customization through the ornate arrangement of compartments, the shelves aspire to a process of creative expression that will ‘transform’ the consumer into a “Design-Prosumer.” Paradigm shift or not, Mom would never have found those adult magazines If I’d hid them in these drawers.
PARIS — Police acting on a warning Tuesday found a bundle of dynamite inside a Paris department store at the height of the Christmas season, and a group demanding that France withdraw from Afghanistan claimed responsibility.
Sticks of dynamite tied together but without a detonator were found in the Printemps department store, a favored shopping destination for tourists, and a Christmas season attraction because of its festive window displays.
Interior Minister Michele Alliot-Marie said the explosives appeared "relatively old." Police said they were found in the third floor restroom of the menswear department. Five sticks were found together, officials said.
"There was no risk of explosion," the minister said.
French news agency Agence France-Presse said it received a letter Tuesday morning from a group calling itself the Afghan Revolutionary Front saying that several bombs had been planted in the store. Police said they searched the store and found the dynamite because of the warning.
Alliot-Marie said the group was "totally unknown" to police but that the claim was being studied.
In the letter, the group demanded the withdrawal of French troops from Afghanistan before the end of February, and threatened attacks if France refuses.
"Otherwise we will go back into action in your big capitalist stores and this time without warning you," the letter said, according to AFP.
President Nicolas Sarkozy, who has increased France's troop levels in Afghanistan, quickly stressed that he would not bend to terrorism. France has 2,800 troops in Afghanistan.
"We need to be vigilant about terrorism. That is the only right policy. We have to be firm. We cannot compromise with terrorists," Sarkozy said.
Officers cordoned off streets around the building. Anti-crime brigades and bomb squads were called in.
Store employees and customers left the building.
"It's worrying, but there's no reason to panic," said Evelyne Bredy, a sportswear saleswoman who works on the third floor, where the explosives were found. She and a shivering colleague waited outside the store while police with sniffer dogs worked inside.
"We're used to it. It happens," she said. "There are often suspicious packages _ though maybe not this type of evacuation."

Acknowledged as one of the world's greatest leaders in the field of mind-body medicine, Deepak Chopra, M.D. continues to transform our understanding of the meaning of health. Through his creation of The Chopra Center for Wellbeing in California in 1996, Chopra established a formal vehicle for the expansion of his healing approach using the integration of the best of western medicine with natural healing traditions. Dr. Chopra serves as the Director of Education at The Chopra Center, which offers training programs in mind body medicine such as the Perfect Health life management program and the Journey into Healing workshop which fuses modern science and Ayurveda. Through his partnership with David Simon, M.D. and numerous health care professionals in both conventional and complementary healing arts, Chopra's work is changing the way the world views physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social wellness.
Chopra was born in Delhi . His father, Dr. (Col) K. L. Chopra, was a cardiologist in Mool Chand K. R. Hospital, Lajpat Nagar, New Delhi (India) and served as a lieutenant in the British army. Chopra's grandfather practiced Ayurveda. He completed his primary education at St. Columba's School in New Delhi and eventually graduated from the prestigious All India Institute of Medical Sciences.
Having graduated from AIIMS in 1969, Chopra emigrated to the U.S. in 1970 with his new bride, Rita, to do his clinical internship at a New Jersey hospital, followed by residency training for several more years at the Lahey Clinic in Burlington, Massachusetts and at the University of Virginia Hospital. He became board-certified in internal medicine, metabolism, and endocrinology.
Dr. Chopra currently has a licence to practice medicine in the states of Massachusetts and California, is a member of the American Medical Association (AMA), and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians.

Grasshopper is a foldable electric bicycle that turns into a trolley for easy transport. The use of composite materials provide rigidity and strength. The aim of the design is to satisfy those who like to bicycle in normal everyday life but live in places/cities where the configuration of the terrain is too severe (cough: hills). The target market is mainly composed of active people with environmental concerns and health concerns who live in urban centres, plus people who live nomadic lifestyles.
The battery charges thru regenerative braking and thru stationary bicycling. Yes you read right, this bike can turn into a stationary exercise bike. Designer David Goncalves entered his design in the 2008 12th International Bicycle Design Competition winning a Merit Prize.

Alan was smart enough to make the whole thing into a publicity stunt and drive two Ford electric-gas vehicles. Read More!!!
