More than just a TV BeoVision 7 is more than just a TV. Its a complete entertainment system specially created to give you a sound and picture experience far beyond what you would normally expect. BeoVision 7 expresses a union of the finest craftsmanship, the best materials and the most sophisticated design ever to grace your wall, floor or entertainment furniture. Yet it never dominates the room, but rather lets you stay in control. One remote control can do everything from turning down the blinds or managing your set-top box to opening the ingenious integrated DVD player. And like the usher in a movie theatre guiding you to your seat, a small light comes on to make sure that you can load the disc while keeping the room lights low. Then you just sit back and enjoy the impressive adaptive picture quality and advanced surround sound features that are second nature to this entertainment thoroughbred.
Top of the line LCD technology BeoVision 7 is easy to place almost anywhere, not only by virtue of a variety of stands and brackets, but because it intelligently adapts the light output and contrast of the screen to its surroundings. If you draw a curtain or switch on a light bulb, the TV adjusts the image on the anti-reflection coated screen to suit. The circuits can even sense the difference in color temperature between cool morning light and the warmth of a sunset. Direct sunlight can be dealt with too: just use your Beo 4 remote to activate an electric motor that turns or tilts the angle of the screen silently and smoothly. The motor is integrated into the floor and table stands as well as the wall bracket.
BeoVision 7 comes with a choice of loudspeakers: either the BeoLab 7-2 stereo virtuoso or the BeoLab 7-4 center channel specialist for use in a surround sound setup both will follow the motion of the motorized screen to provide the perfect listening angle. Whether you stand with a cup of coffee to catch an early morning news report, sit back in the sofa to watch a movie or sit with the kids on the floor, BeoVision 7 will adapt to your needs.
Living with color A choice of colors adds the final touch to the personality of BeoVision 7. If you want the strong lines of the design to really stand out, consider the bold red or blue anodized aluminum, which can be matched by the television's dedicated loudspeakers, and is also available for many other speakers in the BeoLab speaker range. The more subtle silver, gray and black match the BeoCenter 2 audio system perfectly. This adds a CD player, radio, and support for computer and internet music to your system in a design that complements BeoVision 7 perfectly. You can of course choose to connect any other Audio system of your liking to this beautiful TV.
Powerful engine Like a high-performance automobile, BeoVision 7 derives its flexibility from what is hidden under the hood. The advanced digital surround sound processors rise to the challenge with every BeoLab speaker you plug into a socket. With the optional Home Cinema Module, it is capable of feeding high-quality images to a projector setup, allowing you to transform your living room into a cinema at the click of a button. You can even shift the sound perspective from one speaker configuration to another at the press of a button, if you prefer to have your projection screen on another wall. The Full High Definition screen is fueled by VisionClear technology that monitors the surrounding light levels and adjusts the abundant light output and contrast to suit.
BeoVision 7 is a complete entertainment system specially created to give you a sound and picture experience that will exceed your expectations. But for all its technical capabilities, it is still a discreet and beautiful piece of modern art from the masters at Bang & Olufsen. You will not feel like you live in a Cineplex until a single press of a button dims the room lights and makes the television spring to life and automatically turn towards the best seats in the house yours.

It's hard not to love Drew Barrymore. She first stole our hearts back in the eighties, when she played Gertie in ET, and though many years have passed since then, she continues to win us over time and time again. What can we say: we've got a soft spot for the actress and her refreshing, BFF-like relatability. But while we always appreciate her comic turns in everything from Charlie's Angels to her most recent release Going the Distance, lately we've been loving Barrymore for a whole new reason: her personal style.
Seamlessly navigating between glamorous pieces, wardrobe must-haves, and edgier fare for a spate of recent events, Barrymore's sartorial choices are definitely on point. Working with the dynamic styling duo Anda and Masha, Barrymore's been embracing some of fall's biggest trendsÂ--like sequins, fur, and pops of redÂ--while still staying true to her eclectic and whimsical personal style. And, of course, we could hardly mention our admiration for her chic sensibilities without including a nod to her perennially on-point beauty choices! The Cover Girl's proclivity for keeping things currentÂ--whether it's with her to-dye-for ombre hair, an of-the-moment taupe nail color, or a cutting-edge fuchsia lipÂ--makes her the perfect candidate for today's Style Spotlight.
One of the things we like best about Barrymore's personal style is the fact that she is quite adept at dressing for her body type. Wonderfully curvy with an enviable bust-line, Barrymore often opts for a neutral pant or skirt paired with an eye-catching top. Take for example, the super-polished ensemble she selected for her appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, earlier this summer (top, middle). We love how the screen siren infused her look with a hefty dose of fall-worthy sparkle via a bronze sequined Richard Chai top, then balanced the glitz with Camilla and Marc's Navigator Pants ($390), which she cinched in expertly to highlight her lovely shape. She finished off the look with red-carpet worthy Catherine Malandrino Earrings ($275) from the upcoming holiday collection and Yves Saint Laurent's Tribtoo Pumps ($795) in gray suede. Stepping out in an equally festive ensemble, but with a boho-chic twist, Barrymore once again drew focus to her upper half when attending the V Festival in London in August (top, left). For this weekend-long outdoor concert, the music-loving maven combined a Bess Badlands Tasseled Suede Poncho ($1240) with a pair of Joie pants (she's wearing an unproduced sample, sadly!), and finished off her music-fest best with mid-calf boots and a wide-brim hat, both vintage. While her outfit is somewhat outspoken, we appreciate that the big screen star is willing to take risks and find her playful look perfectly appropriate for the occasion.
The ombre-haired stunner also selected a brazen midriff-baring outfit to visit The Daily Show with Jon Stewart when promoting her newest rom-com Going The Distance last month, yet upgraded the stylized look by selecting pieces with a hint of luxury. Her Shoplifter and EDDA for VPL Black Hair Cape ($1200) is a directional choice in both texture and shape, and we like how she piled on the compositional intrigue by mixing it with Current/Elliott's The Flat Pocket Cargos ($298) and Giuseppe Zanotti's Suede Navy Blue Wedges ($695, 212.650.0455). She topped it all off with beachy boho waves (notice the braid?!) and fashion-forward fuchsia lips, for a totally runway-worthy ensemble.
While the beautiful Barrymore favors decorous tops, she's no one-trick-stylesetter and often mixes it up by accenting a t-shirt with lust-worthy outerwear. Our favorite rendition of said ensemble occurred when the actress was spotted out with friends in Covent Garden in early August (bottom, right). Here, she paired lightly distressed Iro jeans with Current/Elliott's The V-Neck T-Shirt ($113) and added delightful edge with Gar-de's Knox Leather Motorcycle Jacket ($695). Barrymore combined classic wardrobe staplesÂ--jeans, a t-shirt, and a cool leather moto jacketÂ--for a simple, yet fashionable look that stays true to her effortlessly sexy appeal. Continuing in this rocker-chic vein for an appearance on the Sara Cox radio show in London (far right), Barrymore slipped on a plaid Boy by Band of Outsiders Flannel ($335) over a Yigal Azrouel t-shirt and J Brand's 901 Leggings ($139) in Olympia, topping the ensemble off with Selima's Jim Hat ($320) in navy and a pair of Christian Louboutin Fred Flats ($595) in a deep blue hue. This hipster creation is a flawless blend of closet favorites, and the color combination of black, red, and royal blue is particularly exciting and fresh. Additionally, we can't help but notice her taupe-tapped talonsÂ--and multi-finger ringÂ--completing her cutting-edge, off-duty look.
While Barrymore does have a lust-worthy styling team behind her, recreating her fancy fare can be a breeze! To start, pick up a few of the basics, like a pair of sleek black pants and a healthy stock of skinny jeans. For a luxe, upgraded look we like Marc by Marc Jacobs' Viola Satin Pants ($248) with their cinched bow waist. Pair them with either Nanette Lepore's Muse Sequined Top ($348) or Topshop's Bow Back Sequin Blouse ($135) to recreate Barrymore's stylish Late Show ensemble. Alternately, we suggest mixing either of these shimmering blouses with Current/Elliott's The Skinny Jeans ($216), Blank Denim's Skinny Jeans ($78), or Topshop's Black Jeggings ($70) for an edgier look. If it's Barrymore's fur-tastic outfit you're dying to try, we suggest picking up a cropped shaggy vest like Adrienne Landau's Mongolian Wool Vest ($295), or Nasty Gal's Mongolian Shag Vest ($68) version and mixing either one with Rich & Skinny's Super Stretch Cargo Leggings ($194), for a glam, directional outfit.
Once you've scooped up all your Barrymore-inspired bottoms, the next step is selecting a great stash of tops! A gray t-shirt is clearly a Barrymore wardrobe must-have, so we'd suggest snatching up Alternative's Heather Burnout Tee ($36), Majestic's U-Neck Tee ($106), or Kain's Silk and Modal T-Shirt ($90) to wear under either Forever 21's Faux Leather Jacket ($32), Topshop's Marshall Cropped Biker Jacket ($100), or Forever 21's Fab Plaid Shirt ($13). Additionally, for another A+ ensemble inspired by today's style subject, try pairing your gray tee with Pinko's Mini Skirt ($108) and either Nasty Gal's In The Army Top ($52) or Vince's Cotton Utility Shirt ($210) for a bit of on-trend military style. Finally, complete all your stunning outfits with some starlet-approved footwear! While Barrymore's YSL pumps are beyond gorgeous, you can get equally chic shoes without breaking the bank by slipping on Steve Madden's Ultamit Pumps ($80), Guess' Amazed Gray Platform Pumps ($99), or Vince Camuto's Momas Corset Back Suede Pumps ($118) for a pair more akin to Barrymore's Giuseppe Zanotti wedges.Â--Liza Kaplan

Hate to break the bad news, but Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are still together and looking happier than ever (sigh).
The "Crazy, Stupid, Love" actor and his brunette beauty must be getting pretty serious since the twosome spent Thanksgiving together in New York.
The pair strolled arm-in-arm on Thursday morning, and both were dressed pretty stylish for their casual outing.
Ryan showed off his rugged good looks dressed in a black hoodie, red flannel, blue jeans and boots, and Eva donned a tan pea coat, blue beanie, dark skinny jeans and matching brown sneakers.
The 38-year-old actress looked totally smitten by her 32-year-old beau (but really, who wouldn't be?).
We hate to say it … but they actually make a pretty cute couple!

The Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer have delivered a magnificent adaptation of David Mitchell's brilliant, beloved novel in CLOUD ATLAS. A gorgeous, sweeping, courageous film that skips through centuries and continents to tell the story of a human connection that can withstand any tyranny or misfortune, CLOUD ATLAS is that rarest of things: a film that manages to be both cerebral and heartfelt, experimental yet longingly familiar.
With an astonishing visual language, epic performances turned in by Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Hugo Weaving, Jim Sturgess, Donna Bae, Hugh Grant, Ben Whishaw, James D'Arcy, Keith David and Susan Sarandon - each playing a multitude of characters in a vast range of settings - and a heartbreaking score by Tykwer himself, CLOUD ATLAS risks it all and triumphs. (Meredith Borders)
"CLOUD ATLAS left me with an incredible sense of hope for the future of cinema. And the future of humanity. How many movies give you that?"--Devin Faraci, BADASS DIGEST
"One of the most ambitious films ever made...a demonstration of the magical, dreamlike qualities of the cinema." -Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Still in their early 20's, Ryoichiro and Kenichi, also known as the Yoshida Brothers, are the newest sensation in traditional Japanese World Music, achieving pin-up status with an ever-growing legion of fans. The brothers play a Tsugaru-Shamisen, a three-stringed instrument resembling the banjo and with a style originating from northern Japan with intricate and fast picking.
With the exception of their instruments, they are anything but traditional. With spiked, dyed brown hair and animated performances thrashing their instruments like rock guitarists, many have stated that they are a significant force in a new music revolution. "Every day we challenge the possibilities", says Kenichi, "we creat our own story... by improvisation".
The Shamisen originates from China. It has three strings and is three feet in length with a body and neck. The musicians of Japan began developing their own way of playing it, using a bachi (a large pick). It was primarily used as a background instrument for folk singers in the 18th and 19th Centuries, but as it's popularity grew, it became an important instrument in Japanese Classical Music and appreciated as a solo instrument in the 20th Century.
Tsugaru refers to the Tsugaru district in the Aomori Prefecture (the northern tip of mainland Japan).
The Tsugaru-Shamisen, known for it's "bluesy" and powerful sound, has been said to be like a howling of one's soul: a natural expression of the strength people acquired in learning to survive in the harsh climate of the Tsugaru region.
