Lanvin L’homme sport: Review

Lanvin L’homme sport: Review

Lanvin L’homme sport is an interesting fragrance. When I see the word “sport” in a fragrance name I immediately relate it to the words: fresh, acquatic, boring. The first time I saw this bottle it was lying in a bargain bin for around 20 dollar for a 3.4 oz. Curious as I was I bought one and took it home.

The initial spray was not that interesting. I immediately got a burst of citrus. It smelled clean, fresh and pretty dull, a typical “sport” fragrance. Don’t get me wrong it smelled nice, but nothing more.

After wearing it for a good 2-3 hours I smelled my wrists again and there I was pleasantly surprised. The fresh dullness disappeared and a strange smell came to the front. First I wasn’t really sure what it was but I knew I had smelled it before. After looking up some notes I saw that the strange vibe of the fragrance was due to the oak moss. Although it being strange, it gives a nice twist to the whole fragrance and makes the dullness disappear immediately.

Longevity and projection are pretty average. I get around 6-7 hours longevity. When the fragrance is nearing the end of its life it stays pretty close to the skin but still detectable for people to notice around you.

All by all this fragrance is pretty decent and will make a nice casual day time scent. For people who are into fragrances and have smelled a lot this will be nothing ground breaking but nobody can disagree that this is some quality juice.

Guild wars 2: Bringing PvP to the next level

Guild wars 2: Bringing PvP to the next level

In almost every MMORPG there is a PvP (Player versus player) aspect. Some publishers put a lot of effort in this aspect of the game, some don’t.

Lately there is a lot to read about the latest Guild Wars game. Although people can play open beta weekends, the game is not yet released and an official release date is yet to be announced. One thing Guild Wars 2 has to offer is a great PvP experience. The whole PvP aspect of the game consists out of two flavors: Instanced PvP and World vs. World (WvW).

The first is basically known be all of us gamers who have already played an MMORPG. You join a team of players and compete against another team in different game modes. When you join a battle, your character will be boosted to the highest level in the game (level 80). This may seem strange but that’s how players will be balanced. Also the character’s gear will be replaced with standard PvP gear. This means that the player’s skills will make a huge difference in combat.

Until now there’s only one game mode available which is: conquest. In this game mode people have to capture different points on the map. When a team takes over a control point they gain points and the first team that hits the 500 points mark wins. Pretty simple…

Now on to the second part of the PvP aspect: World vs. World. To me this is the most interesting of the two because of its originality. In this game mode your server will be competing against two other servers in a campaign course of two weeks long. This huge battle will take place in an area called “The mists”. In this area there are three different forts which are the home bases of the three different servers. There are also a number of other places which people can capture to gain points like camps, bridges, etc. .

The main goal is to capture as many camps and forts as you can. Of course there is different siege weaponry that helps destroying these buildings. This whole experience is yet unseen in other games which I think is what this game will make extra popular.

Unlike instanced PvP where all characters have the standard PvP gear, in WvW you’ll be wearing your own gear but your level will be boosted to level 80. People will be able to gain experience and loot in WvW. This will make the whole PvP experience much more attractive to all players, even the hard core PvE fans.

If you haven’t tried out WvW last weekend, make sure to check  it out. You won’t regret it!

LOUBOUTIN

 The color of love 

Christian Louboutin’s high heels fascinate all woman since 1991, especially for their red-lacquered soles. It’s one of thé signatures Louboutin gives to his adorable shoes, together with his personalized autograph on the inside and the length of the heels. The story behind the all known red soles dates back to the nineties when he wanted his shoes to be more eye-catching. His inspiration was a red nail polish from a customer. He polished the soles into red and in a blink of an eye a hype was born. It is a visible touch that brands Louboutin. Women can brag about them having the shoes with the red sole. It’s a way of showing of, a statement. In 2007 Louboutin has asked to protect his trademark. The discussion about this is still running.

 High heels = pleasure or pain?

 Christian Louboutin finds that beauty has its price. His heels with a minimum length of 12 centimeter confirm that thought. “If they can’t handle it, they shouldn’t wear high heels”, he claims. One fan definitely agrees, Victoria Beckham. With painful hard skin and a hernia she keeps on wearing her favorite shoes. Although he was so convinced, when years passed he also designed shoes with a lower heel height.

 Handbags

It’s long obvious that Christians shoes are very popular with the crowd but like that wasn’t still enough, he also started designing handbags and of course he had to give them his own personal touch. Therefor each handbag is foreseen with a red interior. One by one they look absolutely gorgeous!

Here is a nice video I found about Uncharted 3:

Will Popeye switch to “Super broccoli”?

Article first published as Will Popeye switch to “Super broccoli”? on Technorati.

As it is proven that broccoli is one of the healthiest vegetables in the World, there’s now a “super broccoli”. The new breed of the green vegetable is packed with a big nutritional punch. It has two to three times the normal amount of glucoraphanin that is found in a normal broccoli which prevents fat to clog the arteries and it reduces the amount of cholesterol in your bloodstream.

Scientists say the super broccoli tastes a little sweeter as it has les sulphur in it but the general taste should be the same.

The new vegetable was created by cross-breeding a traditional English broccoli and a bitter Sicilian variety. No genetic modification was used.
The “super broccoli” has been on sale as Beneforte in select stores in California and Texas for the last year and hit the British shelves this month.

"There's a lot of circumstantial evidence that points to (glucoraphanin and related compounds) as the most important preventive agents for (heart attacks) and certain cancers, so it's a reasonable thing to do," said Lars Ove Dragsted, a professor in the department of human nutrition at the University of Copenhagen. Glucoraphanin also makes the body stronger and removes dangerous compounds.

Although this sounds very good other scientists say that it won’t have a great impact on people’s health. Eating this “super broccoli” will not make up for smoking or eating unhealthy but it’s a step in the right direction.
