Ryo Ishikawa, the 17 year old Japanese golfing sensation will be aided by Japanese sports maker Yonex which cost him 100 million yen (NZ $2.12mn yen) to boost up his shoot to 350 yards during the 2009 season. Ishikawa already had his shot at fame last year when he averaged just over 290 yards off the tea which is rated seventh on the Japanese circuit.

Aviator watch collection by Yeslam Bin Ladin is a must for every pilot

yeslam_bin_ladin_aviator.jpg
Yeslam Bin Ladin- yes, he is the same guy who claims to have cut off all ties with his terrorist brother Osama. Anyway, we aren’t here to talk about the estranged relations of the two brothers, what we are interested in, is the latest line of watches created by Mr. Yeslam Bin Ladin. The guy is ready to launch a watch collection called “Aviator” which will be the first watch ever that will allow pilots to calculate their airspeed just in case electronic instruments break down. Yeslam lost his father in a plane crash and hence is aware of the hazards of electronic breakdowns in planes. The watch will be able to tell the exact airspeed and also estimate the flight’s duration before takeoff. Yeslam’s ‘aviator’ watch took an amazing 6 months to create. A beauty, the guy has definitely created a masterpiece. The line boasts of a beautiful and classy rose gold version of the watch for those who love to flaunt their luxurious lifestyles. Besides the rose gold, the line up also contains a silver version and a white gold version of this beautiful watch.
The rose gold version of the Aviator will set you back by $24,430. But if that is too much moolah for you to spare, you can opt for the less expensive steel version that costs $9,472.

2eleven’s foosball table is loaded with features

2eleven-foosball-table.jpg
Foosball tables are super one and this 2eleven foosball table is not like the traditional ones. Firstly, it is pre-built and that’s quite a rarity when you are talking about foosball tables. What really sets it apart though is that it comes with a bunch of great features like LED score displays, a pair of LCD displays apparently intended to display advertisements, an automatic ball lift mechanism and cup holders. It looks like this is mainly designed for commercial use with the advertisements provision. Still, that shouldn’t stop anyone from buying it for home use. After all, it does seem like a lot of fun.

Spiral Wine Cellar with a trapdoor

Spiral_Wine_Cellars_1.jpg
I personally think Wine cellars are very romantic, however anything that has wine complimenting it can be romantic. But that’s just my view! Still, you can’t deny the fact that these Spiral Cellars with trap doors are like something right out of a book. It brings out the hopeless romantic in you. This idea was the brainchild of a Frenchman in 1978 who believed that wine needs to be stored well. This cellar uses the earth to insulate and create good storage conditions. The best part is that it doesn’t require as much space as regular cellars. “A spiral cellar is dug into the floor by a professional team, and the cellar storage itself is created from concrete wrapped in a watertight lining. Passive ventilation keeps the temperature around 55°, an ideal temperature for wine storage. There are several sizes, holding from 1000-1600 bottles.” Installing one of these Spiral Cellars in quite expensive at $30,000. But if you are a true lover of wine, you won’t mind at all or maybe just a real hopeless romantic at heart.

Luxurious_Sassafras_estate_1.jpg
Eeveryone has heard tales of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s habit of renting some of the best and most luxurious real estate around the world. This time around it’s the tale of them renting the Sassafras estate in Llyod Neck while Jolie films the spy thriller, “Salt.” You know Sassafaras is ultra luxurious and prestigious as it was once on the market for $60 million. It is a 48-acre waterfront estate that includes a Tudor-style mansion, two helipads, and a private dock. The main house is huge with eight bedrooms. Besides this, there is a six-bedroom guest house and an 11-bedroom staff house. I’d like to be their guest here.

Jobless Porsche owner uses his vehicle as advertisement

Jobless_Porsche_owner.jpg
Andrew Blair, 28 who lost his plum £75,000 tax free job, wrote his permanent mobile phone number in permanent black marker pen on his White Porsche Boxter X. His Porsche read “made redundant today” and “project construction manager” and MR Blair prompted more than a dozen potential employers. Mr. Blair who originally belongs to Gleneagles, the UK has seen 13 of his friends lose their jobs in Marketing, PR, fashion and media sector during the last fortnight which is why he took to Porsche advertising in “The moment of advertising” This is worse than the Great Depression of 1920’s where jobless traders would walk the streets wearing billboards and hurting for jobs through their cars. (Because the guy earned 75,000 freaking pounds a month!)
When Blair transferred to the Middle East in June 2007from Bristol, UK the job fetched him three times his UK salary, that too tax-free. Although the prospects are gloomy in Dubai, he believes they are far better than the present condition in UK. For better advertising, the man also intends to re-spray his paintwork which will cost him £1,000. Whether his plea for a job is heard through his advertising or not, this blog will certainly brighten his prospects!
