Millions of charity dollars are flowing into water pumps driven by children's roundabouts, but is it money down the drain? Playpumps International , which provides water pumps for African villages, sounds like a marketing dream. Children play on a merry-go-round, and as they do so water is pumped from the ground for storage in an elevated tank. Smiling, playing children, solving Africa's water problems....
I love H&M 's Spring/Summer 2010 looks. They are amazing as usual. I see a little bit of the exotic look, cool accessories, and florals. For men, I see anything that would be perfect for Mark Ronson.

Last month, we were able to catch the ridiculously talented Theophilus London over at Santos, for the Hype Machine/Baeblegum CMJ Party. Who knew so much radness could be exerted at 4pm in the afternoon! We've got the chills reminiscing on his effortlessly cool performance, along with being introduced to new tunes. Along with his new trio'd troupe, Chauffeur , which also hosts Mark Ronson and Sam Sparro,...
Following his de-trousering by David Walliams a couple of weeks ago, Mark Ronson has been keen to keep a low profile - although not sure a crushed velvet mustard suit is the way to do that. Mark was snapped...
Everyone wants to be remixed by Kissy Sell Out. But after doing some amazing tricks with records from Dragonette, Chromeo, Calvin Harris and Mark Ronson, the British "electro-pop musical prodigy" has been touring and playing major festival in Europe this...
Underground hip-hop reveres A Tribe Called Quest, but in a post-Kanye West world, there’s no longer any shame in both blowing up and going pop. Take Washington D.C.’s Wale, for example.
