Barack Obama says he now supports gay marriage
U.S. President Barack Obama says he now supports gay marriage, reversing a long-declared belief amid pressure from Democrats after Vice President Joe Biden declared his support earlier this week.

Obama told ABC News’ Robin Roberts that he had an “evolution” on the issue and he came to the decision after conversations with his family, staff members and openly gay and lesbian members of the military.

“When I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married,” Obama said in the interview which is to be aired Thursday.

Ron Mueck is a London-based photo-realist artist. Born in Melbourne, Australia, to parents who were toy makers, he labored on children’s television shows for 15 years before working in special effects for such films as “Labyrinth,” a 1986 fantasy epic starring David Bowie. In the early 1990s Mueck was commissioned to make something highly realistic, and was wondering what material would do the trick. Latex was the usual, but he wanted something harder, more precise. Luckily, he saw a little architectural decor on the wall of a boutique and inquired as to the nice, pink stuff’s nature. Fiberglass resin was the answer, and Mueck has made it his bronze and marble ever since.

THE HALF-GRAFFITI ROOM

World famous Street Artist, Tilt, just completed his bold design of a room in the Au Vieux Panier hotel in Marseille, France. For his ”Panic Room”, he divided the room perfectly down the middle with one side covered entirely (literally not one open inch) with lively, energetic graffiti and painted the other half stark white. Party on the right, serious on the left.

The hotel is made up of five rooms annually re-designed and re-conceptualized by commissioned artists and designers (for those who can’t make it to France, NYC’s Carlton Arms hotel has a similar concept). See a sneak peek of all five concepts at Au Vieux Panier.

love love love
