There have been a number of distinct movies and documentaries that have been made about the Titanic, but few have been able to have a current and contemporary take on the events alongside eyewitness testimony. Waking The Titanic succeeds because it is able to provide some sense of the terror that existed on the ship along with solid scientific and historical reporting of the events. I liked the way…
Sthenos is the first company that we have reviewed that has been able to make a hoodie that has fit our female health and fitness reviewer. Most products are cheap and use traditional sorts of measurements to determine their sizes. As she is a powerlifter, the overall muscle mass that she possesses makes it physically impossible for her to get a hoodie on. The Sthenos Driven hoodie has extra…
We reviewed PreSurge Unleashed last year, but were provided with a bottle of their Citrus Ice. I believe that this allows us to have a better appreciation for what this pre-workout can do, especially since we have covered a number of similar products in the interim. The amount of energy that is provided by the PreSurge Unleashed is substantial, but at no point does this energy transfer into jitteriness…
Before there were celebrity-endorsed headphones, there was Plantronics. The company understands headsets and headphones, and has done so for countless years. Their BackBeat Go is their latest product offering, and is the best headset that we have reviewed this year. The clarity of the BackBeat Go in music reproduction is astonishing, revealing bits and pieces of tracks that one could not hear on a typical speaker setup. However, this…
It is hard for an individual to move from the all-in-one vitamins to the supplements that they actually need; a company like Paradise Herbs has tens of different products in stock. For those uninitiated, L-Carnosine is a neuropeptide that both decreases the amount of oxidative stress as well as protects the body from aging. There is also early evidence that properly supplementing with L-Carnosine will decrease some of the…
1616: The World in Motion (Book) / Thomas Christensen / 2012 Counterpoint Press / 384 Pages / http://www.counterpointpress.com/ / http://www.facebook.com/counterpointpress I believe the average American has little idea what was happening on the world stage 150 years before the United States became a country. Thomas Christensen looks to rectify this lack of knowledge with eir new book, 1616: The World in Motion. This title goes into exhaustive detail about the…
Physique Enhancing Science is a newer supplement company, and this means that they are able to benefit more directly from current research than firms that have been around. This is particularly present in their Alpha-T2, a fat burning supplement. Alpha-T2 is not your average fat burner; the 1-2-3 punch of Higenamine, Rauwolscine HCl, and 3,3′-diiodo-l-thyronine is unmatched in the rest of the supplement world. Rauwolscine is a compound that…
With Tough Sh*t, his latest self-confessional memoir, director Kevin Smith proves that absolutely nothing is off limits when it comes to opening up about his personal life and experiences in Hollywood. From sex with his wife (including a hilariously uncomfortable essay about her backside) to working with Bruce Willis on Cop Out (another essay about an ass), Smith is refreshingly honest and quite possibly the author of the funniest memoir…
There are an incredible amount of different thermogenics that are currently out on the market. However, the quality of each of these products varies. We were able to test Applied Nutriceuticals’s new product Fat Free, and we are pleased to report that the supplement works for a variety of individuals. I believe that Fat Free has such a high efficiency in energy generation and fat burning because of Applied Nutriceuticals’s…
The Jamie McLean Band is one of the acts that are tight enough to make a live recording sound as good as a recorded one. The band, tying together McLean (guitar / vocals), Brian Griffin (drums / vocals) , and Ben Mars (bass / vocals), releases their Live At Gibson in May. This album takes ten tracks and two guests (Jason Crosby and Taylor Hicks) and will convert anyone lucky…
