Waist to Hip Ratio Better Predicts Heart Disease, Better Than BMI 2007-08-15 08:15:28 The Journal of the American College of Cardiology is set to publish a study that show you waist to hip ratio may predict your risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular condistions better than other indicators. Dr. James de Lemos, the senior author of the study, said: “Our study shows that people who develop fat around the middle have more atherosclerotic plaque than those who have smaller waist-to-hip ratios. The risk was the same for both men and women who develop abdominal fat.” So if you have a higher waist to hip ratio then you have a higher risk of heart disease. This could affect how much health insurance one might have to pay. The Body Mass Index, BMI, was previously used to predict heart disease but now it seems waist to hip ratio is a more accurate measure. Heart disease is one of the biggest health concerns along with cancer and obesity. Do you think the waist to hip ratio is a better way of predicting heart disease? Or should we stick to using BMI and not the waist ...

What are Black Holes: They form when a massive star dies 2007-08-15 07:34:07 If someone was to ask you what black holes are, could you give them the answer. For those of you who just want to have the simple explanation as to what a black hole is then read on. A black hole is formed when a massive star dies. We know that a star is just one massive fusion reactor, these stars are just a big ball of gas which is always trying to rip itself apart, but an intense gravitational field keeps the star stable. The core of the Star or sun is one huge fusion bomb which is trying to go off, but the gravitational forces offers a balance to keep the star from exploding, and it also defines the size of the star as well. But as the star starts to die, the nuclear fusion needed to keep things stable stop as the fuel needed has burnt itself out. This then starts of a chain reaction of events, the stars gravity starts to pull material inward, and this then compresses the core. As the core starts to compress things start to heat up, this then causes the star to go supernova. This ...

Honda Civic hybrid: Tax credits on hybrids about to expire 2007-08-15 07:14:40 If like so many other you was thinking of purchasing a hybrid vehicle like the Honda Civic, consumers will be taking a hard look at weighing up if it is now worth all that extra expense, especially when tax credits on hybrids are about to expire and the fact that the price of gallon of gas has now gone down 23 cents.

Watch Ryan Reynolds in the first 9 minutes of The Nines 2007-08-15 07:13:51 As you know I’m a huge fan of John August’s directional debut, The Nines. Although I love the film, I’ve never been able to explain the plot. I’ve tried, as have many people, but it’s such a great, weird film it’s hard to know where to begin. Thankfully, the people at Newmarket Films have decided to release the first 9 minutes of the movie online. The first nine minutes of the movie with give you a great indication of the playful nature of the film, the actors involved and the pop-culture infused dialogue which is now August’s trademark. It hits theatres in LA and New York on August 31st and will hopefully expand based on audience response. Make sure you check out the clip below and tell us what you think.

Dark Knight to Implode former Brach Candy Factory 2007-08-15 06:57:46 There have been reports that Warner Bros have plans to implode a four-story building on August 29th for the Batman Begins sequel, The Dark Knight. The building which is to be imploded is the former Brach Candy Factory. A scooper for the Hollywood Chicago says, “I have been told this will be a day shoot. A typical building implosion does not have any flames. This will be different. They will load the building with large amounts of gasoline and other flammable material for a huge explosion and ultimate implosion of the building. This explosion/implosion will then be added to a CGI building for the film. Could this be anything to do with The Joker’s plans to set Gotham City on fire?

UFOS spotted in Haiti: Is the video a publicity stunt for Halo 3 2007-08-15 06:56:36 Here we have a video of what is supposed to be UFO’s in Haiti, they was spotted a few days ago, but I suspect that it is a hoax. I and my cousin have had a debate over this, and he went off in one saying that the UFO’s seen in this video are real, but I maintain that they are a hoax. Many people do believe that this video is a hoax, and that it is just a publicity stunt just to promote the upcoming release of the Xbox 360 game Halo 3. Do not get me wrong I am a firm believer that we are not alone, but this movie looks to me as if it is CGI. The only trouble with this is that it is very hard to tell if a movie is CGI or not. Below is the video of the Haiti UFOs, while below that is a video of UFO’s over Paris. Watch the video, and you be the judge! Written by Peter for Product ReviewsIn Sections: News, Gaming ...
