...Paris and Milan department stores and boutiques, though, are clothes from Thailand. The Senada Theory brand, by designer Chanita Preechawitayakul, is sold in more than 100 shops worldwide, and sales have been growing at an average of 30% annually for the past several years. Greyhound, too, is widening its footprint: overseas sales increased twofold in 2005 and a new franchise store in Australia is planned for this year. Department stores around the world, including Isetan in Tokyo, Barneys in New York and Harrods in London, also stock Thai-designed clothes...

The new bases have the virtue, in Washington's view, of being both more flexible and closer to current hot spots in the Middle East and Central Asia. Romanians are also, for the most part, happy to see more U.S. boots on the ground, which would not be true of U.S. allies in Western...
...would your spouse deny or grant you entry into the house? Thanks to DVD, digital satellite and cable, and the latest game consoles like the Xbox 360, the need for a surround-sound setup is ever greater, and so a lot of thought now goes into minimizing the aesthetic footprint of the required five speakers and subwoofer. Yamaha's compact YSP-800 not only replaces five speakers and provides an amplifier to boot, but it does it at a relatively affordable price...
