London, UK -- At the Pepsi RAW Cocktail Academy at Taste of London this weekend, Bar Wizard Adam Dolman of Britain's Got Talent de-crowned 71 Pepsi RAW bottles-setting the new world record for the Most bottles opened in one minute. “Everything had to be lined up perfectly to pull this off,” explained Adam from Peckham.“We've been training for months and have opened over five thousand bottles of Pepsi RAW just practising for this attempt! We've all developed quite a taste for RAW though, so it's been good fun!”
Bar Wizards achieved fame in Britain's Got Talent where they wowed judges Amanda Holden and Simon Cowell with their flairing, tricks and mixology know-how.
The team have been mixing up exclusive Pepsi RAW cocktails at Taste of London for the past four days showing off the latest trends in cocktails and getting festival goers into a summer drinking mood.

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia -- As part of the Movement campaign to raise awareness of men's illnesses including prostate cancer, about 80 gymnasts, mostly school age, headed by fitness coach Jerry Hatter, limbered up and set the new world record for the Longest line of splits.Fitness coach and organizer of the record attempt Jerry Hatter said close personal experiences with prostate cancer had inspired him to get the group together for the history book bid. "I've had friends who have been affected by prostate cancer and my specialty is teaching flexibility," Mr Hatter said.
"I thought well let's get everyone together that can stretch for a great cause, raise funds, raise awareness and set a World Record for the longest line of splits. Mr Jerry Hatter said the group had so far raised $10,000 for the Movember appeal.
Athlete. Inventor. Entrepreneur. Millionaire. World Record Holder. Greg Kolodziejzyk’s life could be the subject of a Hollywood movie. It’s definitely
The successful offshoot companies created in the wake of Image Club’s revolutionary development and marketing approach also resulted in creating at least 2-dozen other millionaires. Key employees at Image Club took a page from the bosses’ playbook and formed their own companies, including Eyewire.com, Veer.com and iStockPhoto.com. These stock image success stories were soon snapped up by industry leaders such as Getty Corporation and Corbus at prices in the tens of millions!
Like so many great businesses, it was the right idea at the right time. But was it merely a fluke? Greg answered that question resoundingly with his next venture. Joining forces with his wife and business partner Helen, they created another successful business ‘Sharper Cards’. You know those humorous reminder postcards you get when it’s time for your next check-up? Chances are, they were created by Sharper Cards. Now you know whom to thank when you DON’T miss a date with the dentist’s drill! And in what can only be considered the ultimate compliment in the world of business, Greg and Helen soon found themselves on the receiving end of an offer to buy the company from their biggest U.S. competitor, Smart Health.
With two multi-million dollar entrepreneurial success stories to his credit, it was time for a new challenge. This time Greg set his sights on some physical challenges. His bold approach and rigorous preparation helped him loose 50 lbs and complete 12 Ironman triathlons, placing 4th in his division at Ironman Arizona in 2006 and earning an invitation to compete at the fabled Ironman World Championships in Kona Hawaii. Less than 5% of all Ironman competitors ever get this opportunity. It’s said getting into Harvard is easier to accomplish!
Now it was time to kick back, relax, and gain back that flabby spare tire right? Not for Greg. He recalled a childhood dream – to be in the Guinness Book of World Records and set his sights on a punishing accomplishment… to break the record for distance traveled over 24-hours by human power alone - no stored energy or wind assistance is allowed. At the start of his quest for Guinness glory, Greg didn't own a single tool. By the end of it, he had designed and fabricated one of the fastest bicycles in the world - Critical Power Human Powered Vehicle - a carbon fiber bullet bike weighing in at a nimble 50 pounds, with a cruising speed of 50 kph (31 mph) and a top speed of 100 kph (62 mph).
Well, it seems world records are a bit like potato chips. Turns out you can’t have just one! Greg’s next challenge: the 24-hour self-propelled record on water. Using knowledge gained in the design and construction of Critical Power he built an innovative pedal-powered kayak for the record attempt. After another crushing unsuccessful first try, he added this record to his impressive list of accomplishments in September 2008 by traveling 245.16 km (152.33 miles) around a loop course on Whitefish Lake, Montana, bettering the previous record by two miles.
Greg’s next goal is his most ambitious yet. He plans to attempt something never done before – pedal a specially-designed craft from the west coast of Canada across the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii. It may seem impossible, but if anyone is capable of this bold feat, it has to be Greg Kolodziejzyk!
Greg is truly one of those rare speakers who has WALKED THE WALK and can TALK THE TALK. When he talks about accomplishing a goal - be it financial, business, personal or physical in nature, he speaks from experience. Greg’s passion and focus is a template for success anyone can employ. His motivational speech "Bold!" is an entertaining look at the kind of attitude it takes to accomplish a dream. His spirit is contagious and his message is vital. Audiences are inspired when they hear his fascinating story.
Fastest train The Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway started to operate at a 217 miles per-hour designed speed.
Beijing, China -- The Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway started to operate at a 217 miles (350 km)-per-hour designed speed - setting the new world record for the Fastest train."The train can go 394.2 kilometres per hour, it's the fastest train in operation in the world," Zhang Shuguang, head of the transport bureau at the railways ministry, told Xinhua.
The 1068-kilometre Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway project took three years to complete. Two trains separately start from Wuhan and Guangzhou city at 9 am and reach their destinations within three hours.
China Ministry of Railways spokesman Wang Yongping said with the completion of the Zhengzhou-Xian, Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway projects and upgrading some of the present electric train services, Beijing would become the hub of railway transport for major cities in China by 2012.
The high-speed train service has cut short the travel time by seven-anda-half hours, where the normal train took ten-and-a-half hours.
Tickets for regular services range from 50 to 280 yuan but to travel on the new 350-km/h link costs about 800 yuan for first class and 500 for second class.
Beijing has an ambitious rail development programme aimed at increasing the national network from the current 86,000 kilometres to 120,000 kilometres, making it the most extensive rail system outside the United States.
The network uses technology developed in co-operation with foreign firms such as Siemens, Bombardier and Alstom. The train travels at a speed of 350km per hour beating France's high-speed railway to become the fastest train in the world.
The Fastest train was said to have achieved a maximium speed of 394.2 km per hour during its trail run in December. The average speed of France's high speed train is 277km per hour, while Japan's is 243 km per hour, and 232 km per hour in Germany.
By 2012, trips from Beijing to most provincial capital cities would only take one to eight hours, said Wang Yongping, the Railway Ministry spokesman. China's high-speed trains run across Hubei, Hunan and Guangdong provinces, connecting 11 cities and 44 district.
The high-speed rail services from Beijing to Hong Kong are expected to open in three years, cutting the journey from 23 hours to 8. The one-way trip from Shanghai to Hong Kong will be shortened to six hours from the current 18, he said. The previous Guinness world record for the fastest train was 277km per hour set by France.
World record holder Phelps beaten by one second
MANCHESTER: Michael Phelps and his American teammates trounced a European all-star team in the ''Duel in the Pool,'' as Phelps anchored a relay to one of the eight world records the United States set over the two-day meet that ended Saturday in Manchester, England.The U.S. team won 185-78 in the last major meet before the Jan. 1 ban on high-tech polyurethane suits.
Phelps is already wearing an old-style textile suit and didn't fare well in the individual events dominated by swimmers in the soon-to-be banned suits.
In the 200 butterfly, the 14-time Olympic champion lost by a body length to Michael Rock of Britain, who was wearing a high-tech suit. And in the 200 freestyle, Phelps slumped to third.
''I'm disappointed a little bit because I would like to have swum a little faster, but this is more of a team event than anything else,'' Phelps said. ''I'm not in great shape and I know what I have to do to improve. I'd rather lose a race now than when it really counts.
''The biggest things I'm looking forward to is the world championships next summer and the Olympics after that. If I can be prepared for those races, I will be absolutely fine. These are all baby steps towards the big picture.''
Soothing Phelps' concerns is the knowledge that everyone will be swimming in the old suits in less than two weeks.
''It will be more of a sport and not just putting on a suit,'' he said at the Manchester Aquatics Centre.
Regardless of the suits, this duel against the best swimmers from Britain, Italy and Germany was never a contest.
As the Americans set world records from the first race on Friday — the women's 4x100-meter medley — to Saturday's finale featuring Phelps in the 4x100 freestyle, victory was beyond doubt.
The United States won 11 out of 14 races on Friday and took an insurmountable lead with eight races to go on Saturday.
The United States beat Australia in the previous three Duel in the Pool events, the first time by 112 points in 2003.

John Cena and the World Heavyweight Championship
Well, it happened. John Cena is World Heavyweight Champion. This is his first (and hopefully last) World Title. John has been a WWE Champion before, but this win marks a new chapter in his championship career.
The World Heavyweight Championship has more prestige than the WWE Championship. Compare over 40 years of history to over 100 years of history, and the World Title will come out on top every time.
I will admit that I respect Cena's passion and love for this sport and business, but I do not respect him as a wrestler. To be a World Champion you have to operate like a World Champion and Mr.Cena does not.
Not only does he lack the in-ring abilities of a World Champion, he lacks the mannerisms of one. His attack on Chris Jericho last week was less than World Champion-like. To disrespect a legend like Chris Jericho, a five-time World Champion, the only man to hold the Intercontinental Championship on eight different occasions, is a big no-no.
Cena got what he deserved when Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, and Manu attacked him last night on RAW, and seeing Orton drive Cena's skull into the concrete was an early Christmas present for me!
Armageddon will close out the year of 2008 and it will also close out John Cena's reign as World Heavyweight Champion.
