| Warren Ellis novel ‘Gun Machine’ introduced by Wil Wheaton trailer Posted: 05 Jan 2013 06:24 AM PST
"Gun Machine," published January 1, 2013, follows Detective John Tallow as he uncovers the decades-old safehouse of a prolific New York serial killer, and does so quite by accident. Wil Wheaton, who has appeared in comedy TV series "The Big Bang Theory" and sci-fi staple "Star Trek: The Next Generation," provides voiceover for the trailer's excerpted passage, while comic book artist Ben Templesmith ("30 Days of Night" and Ellis collaboration "Fell") is responsible for its brushstrokes, all under the watchful eye of Jim Batt (director of music videos for Jess McAvoy, Kim Boekbinder, and the Dresden Dolls' Amanda Palmer). Palmer's husband is the British-born Neil Gaiman of "The Sandman," "American Gods" and "Coraline" fame and, like him, Ellis became well-known for his work as a comics writer. His comic series "Red" become a US$199 million (RM600 million) grossing movie starring Bruce Willis and Mary-Louise Parker, while his 2007 debut novel, "Crooked Little Vein," was also a crime thriller. — AFP/Relaxnews

| Men’s Health editor publishes eight-hour diet book Posted: 04 Jan 2013 04:29 PM PST
Authors David Zinczenko, editor-in-chief of Men's Health and author of 2007's "Eat This, Not That!," and Peter Moore may have a point — limiting your eating window could conceivably reduce mindless TV snacking and trips to the late-night drive-through. Their new weight-loss book, "The 8-Hour Diet: Watch the Pounds Disappear Without Watching What you Eat!," associates the rise in obesity with the invention of the lightbulb, which means you can sneak in more Ben and Jerry's as you're burning the midnight oil. "Think about how you regularly sidle up to a bowl of ice cream while watching Leno, or stop at Wendy's for a late-night drive-thru snack," the authors write. "Modern technology has created an artificial daytime for us, and we're filling it up with meal four, meal five and meal six." They add: "That extended eating interval throws our digestive system off-kilter and messes with the many hormones and enzymes that manage it. Our bodies can't process the food we eat, and those calories end up where they shouldn't — around our bellies and butts." While cramming in a healthy breakfast and dinner into an eight-hour day, especially for office workers and busy families, seems like an unnecessary challenge, research does support the concept. A Salk Institute study published in the journal Cell Metabolism shows that if you condense the total time you eat each day to only eight hours, you can prevent weight gain and reduce diabetes risk, without changing your total calorie consumption. — AFP-Relaxnews |

NEW YORK, Jan 5 — A new diet book claims to have the answer to your weight-loss woes: eat only from 9am to 5pm, or some other eight-hour time bracket.
