I have been writing about personal home theaters of various sizes and budgets. But a owing a personal bowling alley completely bowled me out. For those who love to bowl, this is the ultimate must-have entertainment corner in the house. For $88,000, you can now keep on bowling or call for a bowling party every evening in your own den. Along with that much money you will also need a BIG area that’s 88 feet long, 12 feet wide with a 10 foot ceiling. United Bowling, a Florida based company will install a 2 lane, full regulation length bowling alley in your home complete with genuine AMF and Brunswick equipment like pin stackers and ball returns. Oh and they will also provide you shoes…..after all what are they chargign so much for!

Multifunctional pieces of furniture that conserve space rule the day. The Fusion Table, in that respect, can definitely be termed as a modern piece of furniture. So what are the multiple functions it performs? As the name suggests, it’s a table to begin with. It is perfect to be used as a dining table. I guess it’d be too long to serve as a study table. The second function is really interesting. The table reveals a billiard (pool) table when you slide away the plank covering it. Slide the plank back on, and you have your dining table back again. The billiard balls and all can be kept under the plank when you use it as a table. So when you have your guests over, you can start off with a game of billiard, serve dinner and end with another turn at billiard… all on the same table! What fun! It spares you the expenses of buying a billiard table, and saves space too.However, I do wish the table were a little better to look at. It looks way too simple and ordinary.

Watch out for the ‘Water Cube’ at the impending 2008 Beijing Olympics as yesterday China has officially unveiled its bubble-wrapped National Aquatics Centre, nicknamed the "Water Cube”. The impressive rectangular box, dressed in a honeycomb of translucent cushions would be hosting the diving, swimming and matched swimming during 8-24 August. However it has failed to live up to the expectations of all. The $143.2 million (1.03 billion yuan) complex doesn’t seem to match the "dreamlike and water-blue building" of the official description. It is to the ceiling of cushions above the 17,000 seats (11,000 of them temporary) that the eye is constantly drawn. The building will perhaps be at its best at night when an LED system with 16.7 million tones will turn the arena into a vibrant kaleidoscope of color both inside and out.

It would seem that NASCAR isn't just for the Budweiser-drinking, pickup-truck-driving, blue collar folk the stereotypes would have you think.

It's a dream-come-true for any sports fan -- get picked up in a limo, shuttled to the venue by helicpter, led on tours before the event of the pit and garages, then maybe take a trip or two around the track yourself. Then you're rushed up to a private suite overlooking the track by some 80 feet, where you dine on professionally-catered food and drink, trying not to grin like an idiot as the rumble of the vehicles buzzes the floor beneath your feet. Only the best for those who can afford it. ...
