		<title>Make Your Mailbox a Sight to Behold</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;re striving for “curb appeal” with a manicured lawn, tasteful front door and lovely outdoor lighting. But your mailbox may stick out like a sore thumb. That&#8217;s a shame: it could contribute to your style of décor. For example, a wall-mounted Mission mailbox ($169) would complement arts and crafts, contemporary or  ranch houses. Rusty and rustic, it comes in several stains, including verdigris patina [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gabriel&#8217;s Back in the Real World</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Music lovers who were surprised to hear a new Peter Gabriel song during the credits to the film WALL-E likely wondered what the songwriter has been up to in the long gap between albums. Part of the answer has arrived in stores: Big Blue Ball was created at Gabriel&#8217;s Real World Studios over a number of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Freak out With Chriss Angel Goodies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pick a number between 1 and 10. Close your eyes and spin around once. Open your eyes. You were thinking of the number 5, right?  Ok, OK, so we&#8217;re not as advanced as master magician/illusionist Criss Angel. But we do have some suggestions for getting into the spirit of magic in advance of Wednesday&#8217;s (7/23) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Classic Eames Chair Turns 50</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The details are not the details, they make the design.&#8221; That&#8217;s how Charles Eames summed up his design philosophy. He most certainly paid attention to detail in creating the Eames aluminum chair, which turns 50 this year. You can view the classic creation at the Museum of Modern Art in New York or at the Centre Pompidou [...]]]></description>

		<title>Found in Translation: Gadgets from Japan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Japan’s Rare Mono Shop sells far-out, amusing and somewhat useful gadgets, most of them involving USB devices. I only know because the company is poised to open a U.S. store in August and the English language catalog is now online. I highly recommend a visit to browse products such as “bone conduction headphones,” which transfer [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ease the Pain of a Blu-ray Upgrade</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It&#8217;s no news that everyone from retailers to movie studios and electronics manufacturers wants you to buy a Blu-ray DVD player. They hit early adopters with &#8220;be the first on your block&#8221; ad campaigns, and now that the format war is over they&#8217;re still offering the kind of incentives usually seen when a technology is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Turning Cupcakes Into an Art Form</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cupcakes have grown past their status as a fixture at third-grade parties. They&#8217;re becoming the artful stars of the bakery world. Cupcake-only bakeries are hot in big cities, and tiers of beautifully frosted cupcakes are replacing the traditional three-layer cake at weddings. Actress Katie Holmes kept herself and the crew of her movie Mad Money stuffed with cupcakes. Chicago [...]]]></description>

		<title>Video Killed the Writer (Not)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We hear a lot about the decline of reading, often blamed on competing entertainment such as computer games. But for those who devour bestselling crime novels and science fiction/fantasy books, reading and computer games go hand in hand. Wildly popular author, James Patterson (“America’s #1 storyteller,” according to press releases), has expanded his brand to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Divide and Conquer Your Living Space</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Room dividers can be so much more decorative, diverse and fun than those chintzy paper screens you sometimes see in strip mall Chinese restaurants. Whether you live in a trendy but space-challenged 900-square foot loft (where your dining area doubles as your work space), or a rambling ranch-style home, room dividers can decoratively divide and define space.
