HTTP:: FIFA 10 Gets Box Art
--------
Electronic Arts is still one of the biggest video game publishers out there, even though it has been overtaken by archrival Activision Blizzard. The company is on a new strategy, which doesn't rely as much on franchises but on new projects, but this doesn't mean that its hugely popular Madden or NFS series won't get new iterations this year. Another prestigious franchise, especially in Europe, is its FIFA soccer simulator, which will get a new installment in the form of FIFA 10, on October 2. Heading to a variety of platforms, including the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Wii, PlayStation 2, DS and the PlayStation Portable, a lot of soccer fans will get their FIFA fix this fall. After revealing quite a lot of details surrounding the game, the company has now announced the cover athletes of the title for the UK region, and has also mentioned that some territories, like Germany, will be getting modified covers with local soccer players. For the UK, Manchester United striker W!
ayne Rooney will be checking his fifth year on the cover, and will be joined by Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard and Arsenal's young star Theo Walcott. Lampard is at his second cover, while the Arsenal player is making his debut on the prestigious soccer simulator. “FIFA is definitely the best football game on the market, and I am ...

Pingie: HTTP:: Leaf Rusher Tx Roller for Healthy Perfect Skin

HTTP:: Leaf Rusher Tx Roller for Healthy Perfect Skin
--------
As hard as it might seem to believe, this dermaroller that looks more like a torture instrument than a beauty device is credited with the ability to boost collagen, thus make skin plumper and better looking, and overall improve the condition of the skin. Its secret is the 90 steel micro-needles that ensure all beauty products penetrate the skin 400 percent better than without using the dermaroller, it is being said on the official website. Using the Leaf &amp; Rusher Tx Roller is painful and does cause some bleeding, creator Dr. Norman Leaf agrees, but there is really no better way of getting brilliant and healthy skin than by forcing it to improve itself. Thus, by pricking it with the 90 micro-points of the roller, small entry points appear on the skin â€" they go straight into the dermis, allowing the products we use to better penetrate it and thus really work as promised. There’s more to the dermaroller than just this though, Dr. Leaf explains, because each prick t!
riggers a “cascade of reactions” within the skin that ultimately serves to improve its appearance and condition. While these reactions would not be noticeable if only one such prick would occur, the fact that they’re so many over a relatively small surface works wonders. As a matter of fact, the dermaroller is said...

HTTP:: Spyro Shadow Legacy Hints II DS
--------
Video games have produced a lot of iconic characters over the years, but one that almost anyone who played games on the first PlayStation is fond of is Spyro the Dragon. The friendly creature has enjoyed quite a lot of popularity in the late '90s and at the beginning of 2000, but slowly entered a cone of shadow.That is until Nintendo launched the DS handheld, as Vivendi saw it fit to breathe new life into Spyro and his friends and revealed that Spyro: Shadow Legacy would be making an appearance on the small handheld console. With its development handled by Amaze, the game was officially shipped in North America on October 18, 2005, and reached European shores on November 4 and Australia on November 18, the same year.Set to be a light RPG title, which would use the stylus and other DS-specific features, it was the first iteration of the Spyro franchise on the handheld. It let users input spells by tapping the touch screen of the DS and the second one was used in order to dis!

Pingie: HTTP:: Women Who Eat Together Eat More Study Shows

HTTP:: Women Who Eat Together Eat More Study Shows
--------
You are what you eat. You also eat by the company you keep, a new study shows, with women tending to increase the calorie intake when having dinner with a female friend and bringing it down when seated opposite a man. Similarly, the number of people seated for dinner also influences the number of calories a woman ingests during a single meal, as WebMD can confirm. Social signaling makes women choose different types of food, depending on who they’re sitting with at the table and how many people are around, researchers have learned. From this to the conclusion that going on regular and frequent nights out with girlfriends is not actually the best idea if we’re on a diet is nothing but a small step, because women tend to indulge more when they’re with female friends, no longer feeling any restraint as to the number of calories they consume. Oddly enough, the number of people at the same table also influences what women eat, so, when in a smaller group where a man also!
happens to be present, as a rule, women will have smaller portions with fewer calories. As more people are gathered for dinner, the calorie intake goes up for most ladies, but all the while depending on the number of men in the dinner party. As of now, researchers don’t have a clear explanation for why that happens, but ...

Pingie: HTTP:: Union Bosses Push for Ban on High Heels at the Workplace

HTTP:: Union Bosses Push for Ban on High Heels at the Workplace
--------
The British Union Trade Congress, although predominantly male, is pushing for an initiative that will reportedly spare many female employees plenty of embarrassment and even more health-related problems. The UTC is trying to ban high heels at the workplace, branding them discriminatory and a health hazard, much to the outrage of outstanding female public figures, the Daily Mail informs. The idea behind the UTC’s proposition is that high heels can be extremely dangerous in the long run, if worn for extended periods of time a day, like, for instance, at the workplace. Moreover, some employers literally “force” female staff to work in heels the entire day â€" such is the case of flight attendants and bank employees â€" which is both discriminatory and a hazard for their overall health. Banning heels altogether would seem the ideal solution from this perspective, UTC says, although several prominent female public figures would beg to differ. Tory MP Nadine Dorries, fo!
r instance, argues that heels give her confidence and an edge over her male colleagues, while also being entirely a matter of personal choice. Only the female employees in question should be allowed to say whether high-heeled shoes are good or bad for them, Dorries tells the Mail, and certainly not the UTC,...

Champions Online, the Cryptic-created and Atari-published super hero-oriented MMO, is set to arrive on September 1 and the developers and publishers are trying some interesting tactics to get players to sign up for the long term with the game, rather than getting a subscription for only one month that can be constantly extended.Cryptic has unveiled a life time subscription, which costs 200 dollars, bringing a costume set, called Retro Future, a Foxbat action figure that can be used in the game and a new type of outfit, which can be employed in Champions Online.Those who opt for the life time subscription get access to the online beta stage for the next MMO that Cryptic is putting together, Star Trek Online.

Pingie: HTTP:: Men Spend 43 Minutes a Day Staring at Women

HTTP:: Men Spend 43 Minutes a Day Staring at Women
--------
All those who ever got into a fight with their partner for catching him or her eyeing up someone else (perhaps someone they considered more attractive than them) must know they have overreacted a bit. A new study performed in the UK shows that an average man will spend 43 minutes of his day ogling 10 different women, while the ladies themselves spend an average of 20 minutes doing the same, as The Telegraph can confirm. Men like to look at women, and women like to look at men, and this eyeing up thing remains one of their favorite flirts, the findings of the study indicate. While the gents like to focus on more “specific” things, like a woman’s figure or distinct parts of her anatomy, women usually look first at a man’s eyes or his face, researchers have found. Both, however, hope eye contact will lead to something more, except in those cases when they’re already in a serious relationship and they gaze or downright stare at someone else almost involuntarily. S!
peaking strictly numbers, researchers have found that, if a man looks at women for 43 minutes a day, it adds up to 259 hours a year, which, in turn, translates into 11 months and 11 days between the ages of 18 and 50. Similarly, women too spend a lot of time looking at men, although they cut it almost in half: 20 minute...
