Gaming: Favorite fictional female action hero


  Advertisements

My favorite fictional female action hero is one whom is rather new to the gaming scene. She goes simply by Faith, and she is the main character in a great game called Mirror’s Edge. This game was developed by DICE and released this previous November. Faith is who the gamer plays as, and since the game is first-person, they do not get to see that much of her. Faith is what they call a “runner”. The game takes place in a futuristic city with “Big Brother”-like aspects permeating the government. Messages to people are being controlled. A group of individuals who disagree with the government are fighting this, and using their abilities to deliver messages via the rooftops of buildings. The game is modeled after free-running, also known as Parkour.

Nutrition At Its Best

To properly understand nutrition you really need to know a few terms. Don’t think I don’t watch people in the grocery stores staring blankly at the food levels not knowing what they mean… or worse yet not even knowing! Pull out a few things from your fridge and read down the list to start comparing food groups. Try taking out a can of beans, a carton of skim milk, and maybe those cookies you have tucked into your cupboard that you save for those really bad cravings… then read on.

The one of the most important steps you will ever make to becoming healthy is to understand what you are putting into your body. While no extreme diet is healthy, finding what is best for you is. Let’s take a look now at the items you’ll find on a nutrition facts [ Continue Reading ]

Three New Powerful Workout Styles That Burn Fat and Build Muscle Fast

If you’ve been looking for a different training technique to break out of a rut, eliminate the boredom, and bring on new results, “complexes” may be just what you’ve been looking for. If you’ve never heard of “complexes” before, the basic concept is that instead of repeating the same exercise for multiple reps to complete a “set”, you sequence one rep of several different exercises right after one another and repeat the sequence several times to complete a “set”.

No, this is NOT circuit training… it’s much different. It’s basically like performing a routine of exercises, instead of just mindlessly performing a typical “set” of one specific exercise. This type of training is excellent [ Continue Reading ]

Biker Girls are Increasingly Taking to the Open Roads

When Rose Hyer was diagnosed with breast cancer so advanced that doctors gave her only a month to live, the single mom decided to finally start living. The spunky hairdresser, then 39, was tired of “being a passenger” in life. She moved to Florida, took up body building and bought her own motorcycle – a metallic blue Suzuki Intruder 800.

Hyer is one of thousands of women across the country finding camaraderie in women’s motorcycle clubs. From the Chrome Divas in Columbia, S.C., and the Women on Wheels in Lincoln, Neb., to the Throttle Queens in Landover, Md., and the Motor Maids in Erie, Mich., women are increasingly taking to the open roads.

“I didn’t have control of the cancer, there’s nothing you can do, so riding is something [ Continue Reading ]

Acai Berry Supplements and Benefits

There are many great natural supplements in the market place today. But the unfortunate thing is there are a lot of so called supplements out there that simply do not measure up. It is like anything you as a consumer buys or tries, some will work, some will not. Do your homework and research to find the best for you.

The one I want to discuss today is called the Acai berry, ( AH-SIGH-EE) . Found high atop the towering palm trees in the lush Amazon rainforest of South America. Largely unknown at the time, this nutrient packed berry has now achieved celebrity status.

The health benefits of the Acai berry has recently been validated by modern science. Taken from the USDA data, the Acai berrys total ORAC (antioxidant) activity is 200%-750% higher then an other fruit or [ Continue Reading ]
