In this factory they churn out the brightest sculpted sugars. You can customize your candies to say your name in each one. Papabubble also has outfits in Amsterdam, Barcelona, Tokyo, and now Seoul. Unlike the famous Dylan’s Candy Shop , Papabubble sheds light on its delicate candy process in a way reminiscent of old penny candy shops.
At the same time, the design of the store has been...

Lance Armstrong (look for him on the side of the road) broke his collar bone in the first stage of the Vuelta Castilla y Lyon. While the team director Johan Bruyneel insisted that it was a “clean break,” Lance’s reaction is what really puts into question the two events he has been waiting for: Il Giro D’Italia and Le Tour de France.

Look Harder at Art
The Metropolitan Museum of Art seems to be busy most of the time, especially with their flexible entry fees. However, as the New York Times writes, museums are looking for new ways to bring people to the art. Later in section F of Thursday (3/19) paper, they note that the gems of the museums are hidden!
Instead of offering valet parking for bicyclists, as they are at the Hammer Museum at UCLA and...

The cartons flatten out and are shipped in less than one truckload to where they are filled with water, and they are only filled as demands are recieved.

Local Artist: Matt O.
Hampton, NH-
After learning composition through piano lessons and playing the guitar, Matt, “Moss Dub” found a midi-interface, figured out how to use his MacBook Pro, and bought himself a bass. Jose Gonzalez composed his first songs in the same way- recording all he could play into the Mac program Garageband. But now Matt is able to lay out percussion and has become his own band....

Ghostface on Domestic Violence?
It is nice to hear from Ghostface again, and it certainly is an iron clad song, but I’m still waiting for music more reminiscent of earlier Wu-Tang days.

The Cruise Collection
This definitely outdoes Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” as an epic spectacle. Karl Lagerfeld and Coco are very talented.

Rag & Bone: Long Overdue, Very Sorry
Before people started talking about Rag & Bone, a good friend of mine recommended this label. Their spring collection is epitomized by a few preppy looks that are trimmed and tapered quite well.

Michael has tour dates in London now for 2009. However, He is still largely in debt to Sony/ATV as they have financially bailed him out multiple times. In interviews for the Wall Street Journal, however, his bankers didn’t seem concerned but instead confident about finances, one saying, “He’s got plenty of capital.” Even so, the singer is currently scrambling to sell...
