Devotion Vodka, Protein Infused

Ghostshark — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:00:06 +0000

Not really sure that I want protein in my vodka. It just doesn't seem right. Though I'd be happy to give it a shot. If it's good vodka, it's good vodka.

I've copied the press release below:

SAN FRANCISCO (Oct. 2009): Created in San Francisco, the birthplace of the original martini, Devotion Spirits is set to unleash the groundbreaking power of the first-ever 80-proof, four column distilled vodka with the benefits of protein that is made in the United States. Whether enjoyed on the rocks, mixed, stirred or shaken, Devotion Vodka provides for the smooth, delicious ultra-premium vodka taste discerning mixologists (professional or novice) are seeking.

The patent pending proprietary solution found only in Devotion Vodka will transform the cocktail. While bar shelves are cluttered with vodkas from around the globe in every imaginable flavor, Devotion is the first and only vodka which literally provides a drink with a real protein boost. This revolutionary spirit will create a new beverage category, while also defining a new generation of vodka aficionados who devote themselves fully to everything they do in life.

Created and developed by company President Drew Adelman, a nightlife, dining aficionado and fitness buff, Devotion Vodka was inspired by his search to combine his two favorite passions: fitness and nightlife. “My own personal mantra has always been… if you are going to be bad, you might as well be good,” notes Adelman. “With Devotion Vodka I can stay devoted to my regimen, while stepping out for a good time. I used to actually take my own protein out with me when I went for a night on the town. Then I realized there were millions of people like me who wanted to take care of their bodies and also have a good time. From that passion, Devotion Vodka was born.”

In California, Devotion Vodka will be distributed by Young’s Market Company. International Spirits & Wines will be representing Devotion Vodka in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Devotion Vodka will be introduced in a 750 milliliter bottle at a suggested retail price of $29.99. The custom designed bottle made in France is not only distinctive, it is transformational; the frosted glass bottle with the iconic logo and distinguishing red cap will further distinguish the brand and lifestyle that is unique to Devotion Vodka.

“I have been in the nightlife industry for many years and I have seen some of the best ideas come through our clubs and restaurants,” notes Bob Jones, co-founder/vice president. “From Red Bull and Rockstar to Voss Water and Alize… all of those brands have a common thread—unique selling points that made them hugely successful. Devotion Vodka is a top-tier vodka product spirit enthusiasts will embrace. I believe Devotion Vodka has an unrivaled brand proposition everyone can understand and appreciate: protein. I have no doubt this will be the next big thing in the beverage industry.”

“I’m exactly the type of person that Devotion Vodka was made for,” explains actor, athlete and fitness model Sebastian Seigel. “I have known Drew for many years and when he told me of his idea to develop protein-infused vodka, I told him I would be the first person buying a drink at the bar. It is ingenious. For athletes and anyone who takes care of their body and is looking for the best products for their lifestyle, Devotion Vodka has to be the choice.”

In order to develop a recipe that would embody his vision, Adelman turned to the distinguished Frank Lin Distillery chemist, Dhir Singh and award-winning spirits chemist, Dr. Win Adler. Devotion Vodka’s proprietary solution was selected by Singh for the following reasons: Solubility. Clarity. Taste. Feel.

Devotion Vodka speaks to the masses. Its name Devotion shares many of the same attributes of the world’s greatest athletes and success stories: commitment, drive and success. From the stand-out design of the bottle to the unique marketing programs, social media campaigns and targeted outreach to the fitness and body builder communities, Devotion Vodka is both an ultra premium spirit and lifestyle choice. Fans and followers will be inspired by the Get Devoted mantra that will surround all aspects of the brand.

The Novitec Rosso Tweaked Ferrari 430 Scuderia

Ghostshark — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:00:56 +0000

Novitec Rosso has taken the Ferrari 430 Scuderia and added two superchargers to the 4.3-liter V8 engine, giving the car 747 horsepower.

The car can go from 0-62mph in 3.4 seconds, with a top speed 218mph.

There were several other upgrades to the car, and the most interesting feature is that the front end is adjustable, allowing you to raise the car 40 mm to clear curbs and speed bumps at the touch of a button.

The Xperia X10 Cellphone

Ghostshark — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:30:51 +0000

This is Sony's new flagship cellphone that should be hitting the shelves in 2010. It also looks like it will be available on both the AT&T and Verizon networks.

The phone comes with: a 1GHz Snapdragon chip from Qualcomm; a 4-inch touchscreen with 480 x 854 pixels resolution; 8.1 megapixel camera with LED flash and x16 zoom; and custom Android skin named Rachael. It only comes with a 8GB microSD card, but it's upgradable.

I figure it will be quite a while before people get their hands on the phone, and start running through it's paces. Until then, it sounds like a great phone.

Win A Date With A Hometown Hottie From Blur

Ghostshark — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:00:30 +0000

The whole contest is pretty vague about where you're going, and what exactly the "date" is, but a free trip to meet a gorgeous girl probably can't be all bad. Blur is actually the name of a new racing game, that I'm guessing will hit the shelves sometime around when this contest ends. Here's the details:

One Grand Prize winner will be awarded a three day / two night trip for two people to have a Blur Game Date with a Hometown Hottie. (Hometown Hottie and location to be determined by AMG). The Grand Prize includes roundtrip coach airfare for two, accommodations for two nights at a hotel to be selected and determined in the sole and absolute discretion of AMG, and ground transportation between the airport and hotel.

As I said, not a lot of info there. The contest runs until May 10, 2010, so you have all kinds of time to enter it at the Blur site HERE.

The inPulse Smartwatch For Your BlackBerry

Ghostshark — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:30:52 +0000

I'm an iPhone guy, so I've never had a crackberry addiction. I can see how this would be pretty cool, letting you check your phone without pulling it out of your pocket/bag/whatever. Here's some of the details:

inPulse is the perfect BlackBerry smartphone accessory - it’s a watch which connects wirelessly to your phone by BlueTooth®, alerting you instantly to incoming emails, SMS and calls. inPulse extends the functionality of your BlackBerry smartphone, so when you’re in a pinch you can check your inPulse instead of fumbling around with your phone.

Messages at a glance
Using your inPulse, a glance down at your wrist is all it takes to discreetly check recently received email and SMS messages. New messages are pushed directly to your inPulse. Instead of pulling out your phone to figure out who keeps texting you, just keep an eye on your inPulse.

Never miss an important call
Have you ever missed a call because you didn’t hear your phone ringing or couldn’t feel the vibration? inPulse has a built-in vibrating motor which alerts you immediately to incoming calls. Glance down at inPulse to quickly see who is calling.

Stay connected, always.
inPulse lets you stay connected if your hands are full or if your phone is tucked safely away in your bag or purse. But there are millions of other times when you might wish to see you messages on your wrist.

At-a-glance
inPulse features an elegant user interface with 1 button interaction. It grabs important information like, caller ID, text messages, email titles, calendar alerts and displays it on a colour OLED screen. The watch body is crafted from high-grade materials and is fitted to a custom wrist band.

inPulse is customizable
inPulse is probably the most customizable watch in the world. Instead of setting the time on your watch, inPulse grabs the time straight from your BlackBerry smartphone. Other settings, like custom alarms and timers as well as sleep times and message filters, can be easily modified using the large screen and keyboard on your phone.

You can check it out at the inPulse site HERE.

Sony Car CD Player With iPod Connection

Ghostshark — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:00:06 +0000

The only downside I see here is that it might not connect to your iPhone. If you have an iPod though, it would be well worth it. Here's some details from Amazon:

the CDX-GT630UI is Sony's first car stereo that can connect directly to iPod players, other digital music players and USB thumb drives. That's on top of 52 Watts high power through 4 channels, a full-featured CD player, MP3/WMA/AAC/ATRAC3 playback, AM/FM radio, and a front panel auxiliary input. For further expansion, the CDX-GT630UI is compatible with Sony's Satellite radio tuner and HD radio tuner.

Detachable Faceplate
The CDX-GT630UI features a flip-down detachable faceplate with black 13-segment LCD display. Switchable blue or green key illumination makes control in the dark a snap, and lets you pick your style.

iPod Direct
By connecting an iPod to the USB port, you can listen to all your favorite iPod tunes on your car speakers. Once connected, the iPod will turn on, and it'll resume where you last left off. Enjoy full control of the iPod from the CDX-GT630UI, and while the car is on, your iPod will get a charge, so it'll be ready to go when you're back on foot.

V, Premiers On ABC Tonight

Ghostshark — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:00:25 +0000

This is a remake of the 80's TV show, and it might have some potential.

The series has been updated, obviously, but the basic idea is the same. Aliens come to Earth, talk a lot of peace for all mankind, but have a sinister plot. I'm pretty sure they're still lizards posing as people in this version, but I'm not positive.

You can check out the trailer HERE.
