Mercedes-Benz Reveals CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake

Mercedes-Benz has finally revealed the new ‘CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake’ after an on-line teaser video showing minor details of the vehicle. Like its sedan counterpart, the CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake features a 5.5-liter V8 bi-turbo engine which produces 518 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque while achieving the 0-100km/h in 4.4 seconds.

If this amount of power is insufficient, Mercedes also offers a performance package available on the ‘Edition 1’ model helping boost power to 550 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque which helps increase the 0-100km/h dash by 0.1 seconds to 4.3 seconds. Both variants have an electronically limited top speed of 250km/h (155mph).

Keep Dry With The Water Leak Alarm

I recently found out about this very handy little gadget called the Water Leak Alarm. This thing reminds me of a little water filter and is able to detect even the tiniest of water drops when it gets close to the alarm.

This thing is very easy to use as there is no programming involved or buttons to push. Simply place the alarm in any area that can be potentially flooded such as under sinks, in the basement near main pipes, toilets, water heater, and close to a washing machine.  Even if a small amount of water touches the detector, a loud alarm (100dB) will sound for up to 24 hours. The batteries are built-in and non-replaceable. But the good news is that the battery will

Interview: Contemporary Saxophonist Jafar Idris

I enjoy almost all genres of music and I consider myself to be pretty open-minded when it comes to music. I grew up on Rap, Hip Hop, and R&B from the 90’s and 2000’s. Jazz music has never been really my cup of tea but I certainly appreciate it. I’ll listen to it but won’t go out of my way to seek it.

A few months back, I was looking up some throw back songs from Usher on YouTube when I accidentally came across a few versions of Usher’s song ‘Nice and Slow’ done in a “saxophone version”. It kind of caught me off guard to see that and I decided to check the songs out because I always wanted to learn to play the Saxophone.  In my mind, the Saxophone seems like the perfect instrument to sweep a girl off their feet. A few of the versions of that song were pretty bloody good and two artists really stood out. One of those artists is saxophonist, Jafar Idris. After checking out his songs and enjoying much of his work, I decided to contact him and throw some questions his way.

Voyage 55 Yacht Inspired by Aston Martin

Yacht inspired by Aston Martin

When you think of high-end luxury yachts, does Aston Martin come to mind? If you said yes, that’s one hell of a lucky guess. We don’t normally associate the Aston Martin name marine recreational vehicles but one European design house thinks a little differently than most others.

Luiz de Basto Designs have created a concept Voyage 55 yacht which is inspired by luxury-sport vehicles such as the Vantage, DBS, Virage, and Rapide. Now imagine those beautiful cars but on a boating platform. What you get is the “Aston Martin” Voyage 55. The Voyage 55 features two-person seating up front, luxurious interior, light luggage space, and plenty of room in the rear for a party. But the main selling feature of this boat is the unique design.
