National Geographic sent over these incredible photos, as they just wrapped up creating a real-life version of Pixar's animated hit film Up. It's pretty amazing what human beings are capable of...

Yesterday morning, March 5 at dawn, National Geographic Channel and a team of scientists, engineers, and two world-class balloon pilots successfully launched a 16' X 16' house 18' tall with 300 8' colored weather balloons from a private airfield east of Los Angeles, and set a new world record for the largest balloon cluster flight ever attempted. The entire experimental aircraft was more than 10 stories high, reached an altitude of over 10,000 feet, and flew for approximately one hour.The filming of the event, from a private airstrip, will be part of a new National Geographic Channel series called How Hard Can it Be?, which will premiere in fall 2011.

BRABUS 700 Biturbo – Based On Mercedes SLS AMG

There are conversions and there are conversions done by BRABUS, who specialized in pushing the performance envelope on Mercedes and its related cousins.  At this year’s Geneva Motor Show, currently on going in Switzerland, the tuning specialist took out its BRABUS 700 Biturbo for a spin.  While the BRABUS 700 Biturbo is really a Mercedes AMG SLS, the gull-wing V8 supercar made by the Tri-Star company.  Its really a new car underneath.  On the performance front, BRABUS added 2 turbochargers to the already powerful 6.2-liter V8 engine.  For optimal efficiency, BRABUS designed a left turning turbo for the left side of the massive V8 instead of the usual right-turning version, thus increase the air flow to both turbos.  The original output of 563 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque is now at 700 horsepower and 626 pound-feet of torque.  Customized interior, trunk, and titanium exhausts all equate to further weight reduction.  Now the car clocks 0-62 mph at only 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 213 mph.  The fast just got faster. 

Nike SB Dunk Low Pro ‘Jameson’ – Available

Nike SB has definitely identified a favorite pastime of some of its wearers by naming models of dunks after various kinds of alcohol. While they wouldn’t officially link the sport of skateboarding with imbibing beer or, in this case, whiskey, there are some famous models that have made that connection–the Miller High Lifes, the Tecates, the New Castle Browns, and of course the Heinekens. For this model, meant to evoke John Jameson’s legendary spirit, the upper is a mix of tumbled leather in cream and a thick suede green. The deep burgandy swoosh matches the heel tab and fat tongue logo on this remodeled version of the skate and hoops classic from Nike SB. These, along with other March releases, are available at retailers like P-Rod’s Primitive.
