Happy New Year From Cena12121!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's been a crazy adventure in 2010 with its many ups and downs.

My Club Penguin 2010 highlights were having the biggest party in history of Club Penguin, and being contacted by Billybob — WHAT A HONOR!

I met a whole bunch of new friends that spent this year with me. Thank-you everyone who let me be part of your year, but 2010 has ended, and 2011 has arrived.

It's going to open many new doors for all of us. I wish 2011 brings success, achievement, peace, and health to everyone!

Thank-you guys!

H&M Spring 2011 Collection: Swedish Brand Set to Launch New Collection in January 2011

The Swedish brand H&M offered a preview to their spring 2011 collection, that will be launched in stores at the beginning of the year. If you’re a fan of this brand – and who isn’t, especially after their collaboration with Lanvin – you’ll definitely see a great and fashionable  style in the new pieces and you will like the collection.

They chose the prettiest, most feminine colors, like pink, coral and salmon, turquoise and light brown, as well as a variety of sweet prints: vertical stripes, floral prints, graphics and color blocks. We love the diamond print bell-shaped dress with three quarters sleeves and the gorgeous heels and believe that these will have great success among the fashion-passionate consumers.

Maxi is the new length for skirts and dresses, according to H&M. This length is most appropriate for taller women, but it can look good on petite women as well, when worn with high heels. The fluidity of such a dress is very comfortable. The capes are still in for spring, made of lighter fabrics, of course, and combined with shorts or dresses. Beware of the mini denim dress: it might just be the next “it” item.

The overall aspect of the collection is feminine and romantic. You will find boho-chic combos like the white peasant dress worn with a vest, urban looks like the leather shorts with a silk shirt, 70s inspired outfits like the ankle striped pants and trench coat. Make sure you check out the entire collection in the video look book that H&M launched recently, starring the gorgeous Frida Gustavsson (see below):

A New Line of Luxury Condoms From "The Original Condom" Compan - - Luxury and Facility in An Eco-friendly Way

With everything going the luxe way, I wasn’t quite surprised when I heard of luxury condoms. And yes they are eco-friendly too! Quite befitting their luxury status, they have been created by two French aristocrats! Prince de Bourbon and Count de Bizemont’s 'The Original Condom Company' has brought out a new line of luxury condoms packaged in cases that one sees in high-end jewelry. The shoppers can choose between The Pocket (3 condoms), priced at $13.50, The Regular (box of six, priced at $20), and the refill pack containing 12 condoms priced at $24.

Well this is definitely not for everyday birth control, but they do offer you a good storage. I mean many people get embarrassed in buying condoms and then coming home and trying to find a place that isn’t accessible to everyone. The Count quite aptly said: “Condoms protect everyone from disease, ours protect from tackiness.”

And about the eco-friendly bit, these guys have even organized the carbon offsetting of their products. I am not sure how big an effect this might have on the environment, but hey, every bit counts, right? You can check out their website for more info and placing your order if interested.

“Loan a Book” at Amazon Kindle - - eBook Lending Idea Transformed into Reality by Amazon

If you own a book, you can let anyone borrow it. If you own an e-book, you can’t really let anyone borrow it unless you’re comfortable passing over your e-reader to a friend for a while.

Amazon Kindle users heard that there would be a lending feature on its Kindle e-reader platform by the end of the year. And so, it has finally arrived (with little time to spare). It was just yesterday that all Kindle device and app owners achieved the ability to “loan a book” to a friend. All you have to do is go to Manage Your Kindle on the web, and click on the “Loan this book” button next to a book you have purchased.

Not all books are able to be loaned out as it’s up to publishers of each individual book to enable that feature. Whoever you loan out your book to will be able to read it for the next two weeks, and just like in the physical world, when you lend a book, you don’t get to read it. This is the same with this new option. You can’t loan the same book out to two people at the same time, and you can only lend it out once. Yes, only once.

All New Cruiserio Coupe: Revamped Mercedes Maybach From Maybach and Xenatec - - Features a Powerful 600+ Horsepower Twin-turbocharged V12 Engine

One of the foremost names in the field of luxury automobiles, Maybach and the German engineering company, Xenatec, have now joined hands to bring out an all new and revamped Mercedes Maybach, in the form of an all new Cruiserio. This incredible coupe retains almost every aspect of the original Maybach 57 S limousine, while keeping the car to the status of a two door coupe. The Xenatec Maybach project, that was announced in the month of May this year, was given additional lifeline with the influx of $90.8 million investment from the Saudi firm called AutoKingdom

The all new Cruiserio Coupe features a powerful 600+ horsepower twin-turbocharged V12 engine, and the interiors as well as the technical aspects of the Maybach have been retained to keep the spirit of this luxury vehicle alive. This incredible new design was unveiled at the Daimler headquarters in Stuttgart, and as per reports, the company has planned to manufacture only 100 models of this gorgeous piece of automotive art. The Cruiserio Coupe will be available from James List in Riyadh with a price tag of $940,000.

Gyro Bowl: BPH-free Plastic Bowl With Handles - - Will Not Let Anything Spillout

How many times have you had a bowl of…anything, and spilled it? No matter what we do, or how hard we try, food is just not content to keep itself contained in a dish. However, with the Gyro Bowl, this problem magically disappears.

This BPH-free plastic bowl with handles has an inner bowl that rotates 360 degrees. You literally cannot spill anything because it will counter whatever mess-inducing movement you make. The design makes sure that the open part of the bowl is at the top, and stays that way. It is a combination of some happy bright colors and even though it’s likely aimed at food for toddlers, it would be useful for pretty much anything you want to put in it. It comes with a fresh-lock lid so its usefulness can increase by ten. To add on top of that, it’s also top-rack dishwasher safe, so it won’t be a nightmare to clean. Best of all, the $15 price tag (for a pair of bowls) won’t break the bank.

Moto GP Helmet Sound System: Built to Look Like a Standard Size Helmet

While the phrase “there’s an app for that” gets tossed around a lot, I think there’s one that applies to iPods (iPhones, etc) even better. “There’s an accessory for that.” Seriously, I can’t think of any single line of products that has as many accessories designed specifically for it. There are even accessories to suit your own personal interests.

If you’re a racing fan, then this Moto GP Helmet Sound System might be up your alley. Built to look like a standard size helmet, your iPod (or iPhone) fits just behind the visor. You’ll hear your music through a pair of 7 watt speakers located on the top, and a 15 watt sub in the bottom. Other niceties include a USB port and SD card slot for playing music from another source. Unfortunately this racing replica will set you back a whopping $240.

Its the End for 2010...

Spring-summer 2011 Collection by the French Brand Carven - - Chic, Feminine And Pared-down Fashion Free From Ostentation

“With its chic, feminine and pared-down fashion, free from ostentation, the House today offers an inspired and accessible ready-to-wear collection” – this is the description of the French brand Carven, according to their own website.

The description actually applies to the spring-summer 2011 collection that is featured on the site: it is feminine and chic, bold, but not over the top. You will find interesting geometrical shapes, black and white graphic prints and smart collars. The collection is based on pastels, and the blush and peach hues look incredibly sweet – I like to believe that no woman can say no to such colors.

Some of the dresses are wrapped and tight, some are draped and some have great volume in the bottom part. You can also find beautiful cocktail dresses, for a more official event. The tulip skirt is also fashionable, but shorts are a nice alternative as well. The shorts-blazer-shirt combo can actually be appropriate for the office, if worn with heels and a suitcase-inspired handbag.

Two of the most inspiring items of this collection are the gray baby-doll trench coat and the blush jacket-dress. Influenced by the classic and classy 50s look, these are must-have pieces for the next season.

The shoes to match this collection look like they have wings: made of black suede, with a big bow in the back, they can bring a simple outfit in the center of attention.

Google Beaten by Facebook as Most Visited Website in United States Capturing 8.93% of All Traffic Generated in the U.S.

Facebook has surpassed the number of hits on Google, as reported by Experian Hitwise, a company specializing in measuring online traffic.

According to a report released by the company, Facebook received 8.93% of all traffic generated in the U.S. between January and November this year. Google comes in second with 7.19% of the total, followed by Yahoo Mail with 3.52%.

The report takes into account only the address given and discards pages belonging to the same company.

Combined with the addresses of a company such as YouTube, Blogger, Gmail etc.., Google, the search giant had 9.85% of all U.S. traffic. Facebook will keep the 8.93%, while Yahoo accumulate 8.12%. Together, the ten most visited websites of the U.S. accumulate 33% of all traffic in the country.

The report differs from that presented by ComScore earlier this week that puts Google in the first place, the sites of Microsoft in second place, third on Facebook, and Yahoo in the fourth.

The Mark Zuckerberg‘s social network was also the most searched term in 2010, according to Experian Hitwise. The site had already achieved this status in 2009. In sequence, appear Facebook login, YouTube, Craigslist and MySpace.

Standardized and Harmonized Mobile Phone Chargers to Be Introduced in Europe - -An Eco-friendly Move by European Union

How many cell phones have you owned in the last 10 years? Now how many of those used the exact same charger? Not many I suspect, unless your phones were from the same manufacturer, and even that wasn’t a guarantee. Here comes the solution.

In May 2010 news buzzed around that the European Union might require a universal charger for all cell phones, just to cut down significantly the number of redundant charger manufactured every year i.e. whopping number of 51,000 tons according to estimates of GSMA. In October the idea becomes the reality and now the implementation work has already been started.

According to the reports of ‘Register’, harmonized chargers will rule in the cell phone industry in the next two years, noting that Apple, Nokia and RIM will all have phones out during 2011 that would be capable of using the same universal charger to juice up via micro USB.

It's not just these three companies, however -- Emblaze Mobile, Huawei Technologies, LGE, Motorola, NEC, Qualcomm, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, TCT Mobile (Alcatel), and Texas Instruments are all on board to manufacture phones with micro USB charging within the next two years. This means far fewer redundant chargers manufactured, and a reduction in e-waste.

Book Rest Lamp by Suck UK - - Design And Function Wrapped up in An Elegant But Childish Way

It’s nice to sit in bed all snuggled up with a good book. Something that is entirely annoying is whenever you have to get up, for any reason at all, you lose track of the page you’re on. Or the book magically closes itself entirely in your absence. The Book Rest Lamp put out by hilariously named Suck UK has both design and function wrapped up in an elegant, yet childish way.

A frosted glass geometric frame contains the light source, which makes your reading experience an enjoyable one. It’s top is the perfect shape to hold a book open at whatever page you may be at, and it makes a house! Though when you’re near the very end or very beginning of your book it will be kind of hard to use, as the weight distribution will be off. In any case, this $53 lamp will do its duty, for one or both functions.

Stickpecker Chopsticks by MicroWorks - - Unique And Intriguing to Use

These Stickpecker Chopsticks are amazing on several levels. Not only do they feature a cute and simple design, but they are also reusable, making them perfect for environmentalists. With its magnetic tops, the woodpecker stick fits neatly into the tree stick when not in use, and breaks apart with a bit of a tug when needed for eating.

Brought to you by MicroWorks Web, these Stickpecker Chopsticks are both unique and intriguing to use.

Mobile Digital TV With 3D Capability Will Be Launched by LG in Upcoming CES in Las Vegas

Everyone knows that CES episode for 2011 will be coming in next week and it seems that LG continues to tease with announcements for the 2011 edition of the CES in Las Vegas.

This time they presented a new Mobile Digital TV with 3D capability. Not much is known about it yet, except it runs on LG2161R MDTV chip with NRT (Non-Real Time) technology.

Capable apparently of broadcasting 3DTV while moving at up to 200 km/h (125 mph) it will be unveiled during CES in January.

Heesen Air: New Addition by Dutch Yacht Manufacturers in 47-metre Steel Hull Series

The Dutch yacht manufacturers, Heesen, have been working very hard on their 47-metre steel hull series and have added another one, called “Air” to this ever growing range. Infact this will be the sixth hull in the luxury steel hull series. Heesen’s in-house team collaborated with Omega Architects, who worked out the interiors of the yacht, which is based on a playful contemporary theme combining black and white, with splashes of color in between.

As far as the technical characteristics are concerned, they are similar to the rest of the yachts in this series. It has twin MTU 20V 4000 M93L marine diesels capable of attaining speeds around 15.5 knots. A slower cruising speed of 10 knots ensures a respectable continuous range of over 4,000 nautical miles. There are five cabins, one for the master and the rest for guests. All the rooms are very comfortable with twin and double bed arrangements that can be adjusted according to the requirement.

This series started in 2004 with a yacht called “Yalla”. And “Air” will definitely not be the last in this 47-metre steel hull series as there are already three similar yachts under various stages of production at Heesen’s Dutch facilities.
