Pink is the new black and it is wide spread in a lot of design sectors, from clothing and accessories to technology: laptops, mobile phones and cars. Special people want their personality to be reflected by the things they own and pink is one of the craziest and most discussed color of all. This color is little girls' preferred color, and you can see that there are thousands of products for little girls. They like to have pink clothes, pink accessories, pink room design, and sometimes this pink trend follows them as they grow up, and they become the crazy sales girl with the pink laptop and moreover, she also has a pink mini car.

Actually pink is a softer version of red, and it can be called the sweet side of red. It is the color of candies, of bubble gum and it psychology it is associated with the weaker sex, with sensibility and emotion. While red is the color of passion and strong feelings, pink comes and brings us the soft version, the candid version of love and other beautiful feelings. As I said, in some cultures, and especially in U.S, it represents little girls, it is the word for "sugar and spice and everything nice". Most of the people see pink as a delicate and feminine color, but there are more and more men wearing and owning pink items. Red&pink both denote love, but they do this differently: red represents hot and strong love, and pink shows the romantic side of love, the charm and all the dreams related to love.

This color has been used to suggest playfulness (pink flamingos in Disney movies) or tenderness (in pastel paintings). Even if you use more shades of pink and light purple or red, you will still suggest the delicate and playful nature of pink. The use of pink in language is also a source of characterizing people, and this aspect has a positive and a negative side too. There are some expressions: "in the pink", "tickled pink" which suggest health, happiness and satisfaction feeling and others like "pink collar" (it is often used in a derogatory manner to imply low person on the office hierarchy) or simply "pink", but used with the meaning of crazy, notch, zig zag.

The family of words related to pink includes the following words and all of them represent various shades of this color: salmon, coral, fuchsia, blush, flesh and rose. Pink gemstones promote love, protection from violence or aggression and they stimulate love and beauty in the rooms where they are positioned.

Pink is the right Feng Shui color which can bring a strong shift of energy into the environment you live or work in. Pink has delicate vibrations and it also has a soothing effect on people's behavior. This color is used very much in the Southwest area of one's space, because it is connected to Love&Marriage, and this color works perfect with the Fire element which represents the Southwest area.

The most common used shade of pink is "gentle pink" but there are items colored in magenta pink which have a certain role in the Feng Shui decoration of your house or office.  Pink and black combination is retro, and black is used to accentuate pink's beautiful vibrations. It creates a constant dialogue between the sobriety of black and pink's playfulness. Unfortunately, if you use too much pink in a room, you risk to create a floating effect and sooner or later you will start living in an illusory world. There are a lot of discrete and subtle elements which could bring pink in your space, personal of business one, and you can choose between rose quartz crystals, pale pink pastels, pieces of furniture and other thousands of accessories available on the Internet and in physical stores.

There is something alluring about pink in clothing, and maybe because it is known to have a calming effect or maybe because it works very good with most skin tones. If we know that pink is a lot of women favorite color, we might be amazed to find out that men like it too, despite the strict association we made along history between pink and weaker sex, or pink and feminity. Men who wear pink clothing pieces want to express their confidence, their extravagant fashion preferences combined with a special sensibility.

This color works great with grays, blacks, navys, other blue tons or even tans. Pink can easily be incorporated in a man's wardrobe, and be sure it will bring a fresh breeze and you will be able to create amazing outfits with pink items.  In "Brown Sugar", the actor Boris Kodjoe wears in a party scene a pink cashmere sweater with dark trousers and he looks very sexy. Something classic and simple like a sweater can be show stopper if it is pink. Shirts also can be an easy way to incorporate this color in your wardrobe. They can be worn with suits, under sweaters or even on their own with trousers and jeans. Suits and trousers look great on pink too, and I don't mean crazy pink suit, I am thinking about light cotton and seersucker suit. If you are not ready for a really pink outfit, you can start small: ties, t-shirts, hats or scarfs.

You can include pink in your life more than in clothes or room design aspects and extend this pink trend in the technology area and purchase some cool pink gadgets. If you have enough courage, you can expose yourself in a pink car or you can very well use a pink laptop.

If you were the type of kid that would get in trouble all the time, because you blew things up or mixed the wrong chemical elements, and if now you have a child who is like you in your early ages, or if you just have a boring job, which makes you miss a lot the childhood days? You can try some scientist websites which will make your time pass faster, and entertain you in an "academical" manner. You can unleash the mad scientist inside you and you can try having fun with experiments, at home.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
Evil Mad Scientist website has as motto “Making the World a Better Place, One Evil Mad Scientist at a Time”, and they present weekly a do it yourself project, which are more advanced than those presented on the old website. This means that you will have to go and purchase some things to create the projects they present on the website, but the ideas are pretty cool and they stimulate your creativity. Another similar website, which offers a lot of do it yourself project is Joey Green's Mad Scientist Experiments website; there, Joey Green offers hundreds of unknown uses for well known products, which means a lot of innovation. The science experiment section is a treasure, and if offers hundreds of interesting and entertaining experiments to do at home.

If you want to host a mad scientist party there is a website which offers you all the information you have to know about hosting this kind of parties, beginning with invitations and ending with an evil eye cake. If you and your friends gather at such parties, there is a website where you can send the results of your experiments. The Public Broadcasting Service hosts a popular kids show, Zoom Science, and it associates the website fun with the experiments on the screen, and it also allows you to contribute with your experiments' results.Steve Spangler also performs experiments for a local TV show, and he also uploads them on the website. The website features funny and simple experiments, and be sure that you will find there experiments for the mad scientist inside you.



An interesting new type of websites is "ask a scientist" type, which relies on experts to offer answers to questions submitted by people on the website. These are very useful resources for projects where you will use a lot of technology information, and you want to use it correctly. Teachers have learnt to check if the projects are copied from the Internet, and now they appreciate more and more originality and creativity. Getting an expert's answer in your homework could somehow be construed as cheating, but I see asking an expert a very mature and correct source of getting information. Even if you could read an entire book to find out Einstein's equation's history, it is infinite easier to ask an expert a specific question which will elucidate all the mystery around the topic you are interested in.



This kind of websites might receive daily few hundreds of questions, so don't expect to get an answer in the first five minutes after you post the question on the website. It is very important for the experts to have time to get exact information about the matter you are interested in, because it is obvious that they are not ambulant encyclopaedias and they also need time to give accurate answers.There is a tremendous amount of information available on the web, and most people don't find the information they need because they can't properly use a search engine.  Wikipedia-like projects are great ideas of general knowledge, and they offer a very vast amount of useful information, but there are errors too. It is very important to use the proper keyword when looking up for information on Internet. If all these community knowledge wikis can't help you find the info you need, you can choose an "ask a scientist" website, but make this decision carefully, in order to get the best answers for your questions. It is important to choose a website with well prepared experts, who have studied a lot in interest domain.



The best "ask a scientist"websites are those run by government, special domain agencies or universities. There are a lot of websites associated to publications. There are also science websites which present daily news and progress in technology around the world or in specific areas.

We have been gazing at our reflection for thousands of years and along time a lot of mirror design trends are appeared, but none of the designs can be compared to the modern and futuristic models we have nowadays. Designers have never been more playful in exploring new ideas and concepts in mirror industry. These silvered glass panes have reflected our images so well, and sometimes too well are getting new faces every day. Here are some mirror designs which some of you would expect to find in "Through the Looking Glass", but they can be found both in online stores and classic stores, but in designers' collections too.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
Domestic, the French design house features 32 styles of mirrors, all different, and each provokes a second glance. These mirror models will show off while you watch your reflection, and even if your look sharp or you just like what you saw there, they look very cool, and be sure that a nice elegant mirrors will look great on your room's wall.

Few people roll out of the bed looking great, but i think everybody will like such a mirror, full of motivational messages, which will make your mornings easier to swallow. "Oh How Beautiful" mirror was designed by Joop Steekamer and it is available in two sizes. Ignore the reflection and read each time when you gaze in this mirror, the message written on it: “Oh how beautiful you are! You’re charming. You look gorgeous! It’s fantastic. You are infinitely attractive! I think that you are fabulous, just fabulous! You are absolutely delectable. Your hair is really stunning, it sparkles with life! I love the way that you do your hair, that silken head of curls and waves is glorious.”This is a great way to start every day, and I think it is great for people who have some self-confidence related problems. After reading the poem on the mirror, I think everybody will be ready for work or for having fun out.



Do you like puzzles? Now you can have a mirror puzzle-shaped which will show each time a different image, unless you manage to solve the 15 inch puzzle without fingerprints and you manage to avoid fingerprint. It has transparent lucite top and base which provide protection (for the silvered surfaces, and fingertips too).



With this special mirror, the question "How tall are you?" looses its sense and transforms into "Who tall are you?" because it has on it height of a lot of celebrities and you can compare yourself with all of them. It also offers interesting information and you can also have fun in the morning comparing Arnold Schwarzenegger's height with Barry White's, or you can imagine that you are above all.





In the bathroom a mirror is absolutely necessary, and if it has a radiator incorporated is a pretty cool gadget. These radiator/mirror combinations come in a 43 palette of colors and they are available in 7 metallic shades, and I am sure that you can find the perfect one to suit your bathroom color scheme. These radiator-mirrors have long heating tubes which warm the room and speed the evaporation process, so you won't face a fogged mirror when you come out of the shower.

There is one type of car no one would like to see in the rearview mirror: the police car. I have gathered some models of police cars which are a little bit different from the stereotype of a typical police car. These models are cool, have enough horsepower to follow any fast lawbreaker. Police cars come in different shapes, sizes and colors, but they all have the same main purpose: uphold the law, and provide officers the perfect transportation mean, in order to keep cities in order.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
Mini Smart Car is the best one for the crowded streets of Austria. This compact car can cut through corners easily and it has a top speed of 135 Km/hr. This little car is used in more countries in Europe and it is very efficient because it can easily sneak in crowded place, and it offers a good speed for following the thieves or other lawbreakers. It looks pretty funny, but when you see it in the rearview mirror it becomes scary.

Porche Carrera offers officers 325 horses and a top speed of 285 Km/hr. This is one of the fastest police cars, it is used in the same country as the MiniSmart, but it looks more sporty and it has a more elegant design. This car has a permanent place in Germany, at the Porche museum. It has an imposing design, and it can easily intimidate infractors.



The Dodge Charger is used in the U.S.A and it was first presented at the New York auto show in 2005. It is powered by a 425 hp engine which offers 233 Km/hr and it is used across 50 states; it can charge from 0 to 100 Km/hr in six seconds and it has a very sturdy and stable design. It looks very nice, and it helps police officers reach the fast and furious drivers which cross the speed limit.



Italy can be proud of these beasts patrolling on the freeways around Rome. This Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 has a 525 hp engine, a roaring one, which can zoom from 0 to 100 Km/hr in only 3.7 seconds. This car has been donated by the producer to the Italian authorities and apart from speed, this wonderful police car has some interesting additional features, like : automatic number plate recognition system, forward looking camera, and a trunk in front which can be used as a first-response medical platform. When needed, it can also transport organs, because it also has a refrigerated box, for high-speed transport in accidents or medical emergencies.



In London you can see police officers driving same Lamborghini cars, but a different model: Murcielago LP640. There are no more BMW 535d patrol cars since this type of cars have been purchased to keep London safe. This car is an Italian car, and it offers 6.5 Litre engine and four wheel drive, it can reach a 330 km/h and it can go from 0 to 100 Km/hr in 3.4 seconds. It looks good and I think it fits with the Londonese landscape, but also with Londonese lawbreakers.



Police cars in India are modest, and I think that the authorities use the officer's force more than the cars' power. This nice car is one of the police cars in India, and it has quite simple specifications, and nothing outrageous.



In Holland, police officers use this nice Spyker C8 Spider which has 406hp and a 300km/h (187 mph)  and goes from 0 to 100 Km/hr in 3.8 seconds.



A sheriff in Texas has a H2 Hummer, which provides him 700 hp with a 7.0 L engine. This is a powerful car, and I think it is very efficient and helps very easily the sheriff to reestablish order in this state.



In each country, there are used the cars the authorities considered perfect for their protection purposes, and they are also adapted to the level of criminality in those countries. There are also very well trained police officers, who can easily handle these cool cars. I don't wish anyone to look in the rearview mirror and see one of these powerful cars with the light and audio signals turned on to make him stop. As you can observe, the possibilities are different in various countries, but I think everyone is trying to offer the best for their police departments, because it is a very important aspect in the social life, and keeping it safe is a national interest matter.

While many cities in U.S. are sweltering under more than 80 degrees of summer heat, some people are already looking for warm weather places in the middle of the coming winter. The Caribbean, Hawaii or Mexico are mainstays for winter vacations destinations, but there are some new candidates in the itineraries for cruises tops. Cruises around South America are very popular because of several cruise lines which offer a wide range of options, from one week long to one month long itineraries. There are trips which offer forays in Antarctica or in the mysterious Easter Island and even in the amazing Galapagos Islands.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
Cities like Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires or Santiago became magnets for tourists with the multitude of cultural populations and touristic attractions. Even if you visit the Recoleta cemetery and you see Eva Peron's grave or a vineyard with soft Chilean wines, these are real adventures, and in South America you can find something for every type of person.

If Australia or New Zealand sound interesting for you, there is high season for cruising on that side of the world. There are four different cruise lines, like Holland America Line, Celebrity and Royal Caribbean feature cruises in those areas for 2009/10 winter. There are some cruises which include places like Tahiti, Fiji or many other South Pacific islands, and with new air (even low-cost) choices from the U.S., Australia becomes more affordable than ever. Good news would be that cruise lines, airline and tour companies have lowered prices to go with the worldwide recession. This means that the consumer has a lot ot win, and that many touristic services become more affordable for a wider range of potential consumers.


A special place on earth, where you can sample a huge variety of flavors, cultures and historical sites is the Mediterranean area. You can explore the region on cruises from Italy, France, Spain or Greece. Cruising the Mediterranean is like waking up each morning in a new world, with new and special landscapes. You can enjoy and relax the comfort of a floating resort with all meals and accommodations taken care of, with specific types of entertainment.The best season for Mediterranean cruises is from April till October, although there are ships sailing in the Mediterranean sea all year. A lot of cruises from Athens sail around the Greek Islands, and this is an awesome opportunity to enjoy natural beauty and cool nightlife.

There are more than one million passengers who take Barcelona cruises. The city offers great food, shopping and lively nightlife and all of these, along with the beautiful architecture make out of it a great port.


Luxury cruise lines offer departures from Monte Carlo, which is located between the Alps and the sea. The natural landscape is embellished by the yachts and finery of the French Riviera, here on the Cote d'Azur. From Civitavecchia depart the Rome cruises, and this place is one hour bus ride to the port, but the inconvenience is worth. A very special cruising experience is on Canale Grande in Venice. There are car-free streets, crossed by canals, and plenty of historical bridges. All these elements make this city a great place to explore by foot.

If you want to book a place on a cruise, you should consider more than the top line price when comparing offers. Some cruise deals include a lot of extra deals, and sometimes these extra stuff is amazing. Some of them, on the other hand, require you to pay large fees for food, drinks or activities. When you read the brochure be vigilant and take care of suspiciously cheap cruises. They might be cheap, but usually the extra things are very very expensive. It's very important to know when to book the cruise, because six months in advance or last minute there usually are great discounts, and you can book it at a very good price.


There are plenty of websites which offer you the possibility to book a place on a cruise ship, and I think that the most important and best organized one is www.cruises.com , and if you need a room while staying around in one of the departure or arrival ports, you can check www.expert-bookings.com. These are some websites which offer you a lot of options for cruises all over the world, and the second one is a professional bookings website which brings in on your desktop thousands of accommodation options.
