Michael Jackson releases "Beat It"

"Beat It" is a song by American recording artist Michael Jackson. It was written by Jackson and co-produced by Quincy Jones for the singer's sixth solo album, Thriller (1982). Jones had wanted an ambitious black rock 'n' roll song, however, Jackson had never previously shown an interest in the genre. Eddie Van Halen was drafted in to add the distinctive overdriven guitar solo with tapping, but initially thought the phone calls from J...

President Barack Obama hosts 'beer summit' for Prof Henry Gates and Sgt James Crowley

In perhaps the most unusual sitdown of his administration, President Barack Obama hosted Prof Henry Gates, a prominent black scholar, and Sgt James Crowley, a white police sergeant, for beers in the White House Rose Garden on Thursday evening.

Mr Obama was hoping to defuse the angry racial furore that has raged since Sgt Crowley arrested Prof Gates for disorderly conduct at the Harvard academic’s own home in Cambridge, Massachusetts on July 16.

The President has acknowledged that he fuelled the controversy when he said that the police “acted stupidly” for arresting Prof Gates after he protested vociferously about Sgt Crowley’s actions during a burglary investigation.

Mr Obama invited the two men and Vice-President Joe Biden to join him for a symbolic beer and chat and to talk over their differences. It was not, he insisted, a summit, although they met in a setting where previous presidents have often hosted international leaders.

The White House allowed cameramen to shoot some long-range pictures of the start of the meeting before they were ushered away.

The photographs showed Mr Crowley and Mr Gates in dark suits, despite the warm weather in Washington, while Mr Obama and Mr Biden opted for the choreographed casual look of white shirts after shedding their jackets.

A White House employee carried the beers out on a tray to the four men as they sat around a white table. They drank from clear glass mugs and snacked on peanuts and pretzels served in small silver bowls.

Mr Obama drank Bud Light, Sgt Crowley opted for a Blue Moon, Mr Gates chose a Boston favourite, Sam Adams Light – despite earlier indications he was going for a Jamaican Red Stripe – and Mr Biden sipped a Bucklers.

In the 30 seconds that a pool reporter was allowed to observe events from 50 feet away, Sgt Crowley was doing most of the talking and Mr Gates appeared to be leaning in, listening intently. At one point, the President laughed heartily.

The two protagonists brought their families to the White House and they toured the East Wing together before the sit-down, then met Mr Obama in the Oval Office before moving out into the Rose Garden.

Sgt Crowley had been called to investigate a possible burglary at Mr Gates’ house after the academic was seen by a passer-by forcing his way into his own home because of a broken door.

Mr Gates had claimed that he was the victim of racial profiling after he was arrested while Sgt Crowley insisted that he out him in handcuffs after coming under a barrage of verbal abuse. The charges were dropped but the police officer said he would not apologise.

The incident sparked a bitter debate about race relations in America, sucking in the country’s biracial President and distracting him from his push for heathcare reforms. Whether the beer diplomacy did anything to soothe the contretemps was not clear from the pictures.

lvmh lover

Ooooohhh...another Neverfull gets special treatment, this time from the store in Deauville, France. Re-opened in the early part of Summer 2009, this small but quaint boutique boasts fabulous architectural elements that Normandy is famous for. Christened Villa Vuitton, it's definitely high on my agenda list for stores to visit. LVoe it!!!

If it weren't for her Cabas Piano, I would have kicked the living daylights outta her!!! He isssshhhhzzz mine!

Well Mr, Thanks to you, I can't stop myself from reading your blog almost daily. And thanks to you I just went and bought the damier Etole in the middle of summer. Now all I can do is wish for a cool summer night so I can start using it. I would have love to get my hands on the Bordeaux but I was told it's not being release in North American. BOOO!! Now if I only know how to tie a scraf. Never worked with anything as big as a etole before. Any suggestions would be greatly apperiated. Apprently this is what everyone is doing, so here's a picture of some of my LV goods. Keep up the good work. Awww...thanks for sharing, Erik!!! It's people like you who makes blogging about Louis Vuitton all worthwhile. LVoe it!!!

Hmmm...I do LVoe fur but the colour seems a tad bit too vermin for my taste. I received this pic from Bagaholicboy.com ages ago and it seemed to have been buried in my inbox. Well, today is the resurrection and feature of this Fall Winter bag. Made out of mink fur, this Pochette Accesoires will surely turn heads and PETA for sure!

My SA showed me the new colours for the Sprouse Leopard Stole when I was last in the boutique and I must say that I am not so wild about them. I guess I am biased because I LVoe, LVoe, LVoe the colourway on mine.

I am really liking the Pailletes Collection for Fall Winter 2009 2010. I am just so undecided if I should get one. Any thoughts?

I am always thrilled when I see a Celeb decked in Louis Vuitton whilst travelling. Here's Victoria Secret's Miranda Kerr with her Sac Chien in Monogram, Pegase in Damier and the ohhh so wonderful Mahina. LVoe it!!!

While I am roasting in 90 degree weather, Christine from Australia is enjoying her winter with her Stephen Sprouse Leopard Stole. I can't wait to use mine again for this season. That silk and cashmere is absolutely fabulous. Thanks for sharing, C. LVoe it!!!

I dunno who she is but she absolutely fabulous. LVoe it!!! UPDATE: She is Taiwanese actress An Yi Xuan. Thanks, guys!
