Scottsdale, Arizona – If there’s one thing many football fans worship as much as their beloved game, it is a beautiful, flirtatious woman. As demonstrated by the perky, sun-kissed cheerleaders on the sidelines of almost every game, football and pretty girls go together like pigskin and tailgating – one is great, but both are better!

Enter BoxScore Babes. This hot new iPhone app from Mandarich LLC is the ultimate NFL fan tool, streaming score feed along side images of gorgeous bikini, lingerie and fitness models. Fans can get up-to-the-minute scores on all their favorite teams while viewing pictures of beautiful women. Necessity was the mother of this invention, according to the creators of BoxScore Babes.

“When I was looking at the iPhone apps with photos of women I liked it for about a day, but I felt like something was missing,” says Tony Mandarich, partner at Mandarich LLC. “Being a former NFL player I thought it would be a huge improvement if we added real-time scores to it. And that was where the idea came from.”

Viewers can peek at their pics two ways. For the fan who can’t choose just one, gallery mode shows nine images at a time. Scroll through photos in full-screen mode to savor the view one picture at a time.

System Requirements:
* iPhone or Second Generation iPod touch 3.1 or later

Pricing and Availability:
BoxScore Babes 1.0 is only $1.99 (USD) and will be available exclusively through Apple’s App Store in the Sports category.

Los Angeles, California – Radiance house today announces the launch of its Love Therapy application. Available on the iPhone app store, the Love Therapy is a self help tool that allows couples and individuals to identify their roles in relationship and grow the potential of their own relationships. Love Therapy describes twenty roles that people play in relationships, and it helps you profile and improve your love-life.

Some of the key features of the Love Therapy application are:
* Identify various roles we play – roles we wish others to play along with us
* Twenty Love-life Types, each corresponds to a favorite role
* Profile your ideal relationship
* Profile your current relationship
* Analyze your love life and learn ways to enhance it
* Explore all twenty Love-life Types
* Learn the theory behind the Love-life Types

“This will allow people to approach love and relationships with new tools that we are very excited about” said Dario Nardi, PhD founder of Radiance House. ” With this application couples can reach a new understanding of who they are in relationships and obtain new levels of growth and happiness.”

Love Therapy is a self help tool:
The app allows couples and individuals to identify their roles in relationship and grow the potential of their own relationships. Love Therapy describes twenty roles that people play in relationships, and it helps you profile and improve your love-life.

4 Essential Elements:
Love-life roles have qualities in common. Commonalities are based on four core themes in relationships. Each theme is symbolized by an element. The four themes are:

* Earth: Family security
* Fire: Exciting activity
* Water: Emotional intimacy
* Air: Creative learning

Roles Are Agreements:
Typically, the roles we play are unspoken agreements. Relationship satisfaction depends on how well we fulfill the agreements.

Complementary Roles:
Some roles work best when both partners share the same role. Other roles work best when each partner plays a complementary role. For example, a Mentor will find a match with an Apprentice.

People Are More Than Their Roles:
As you read about the Love-life Types, keep in mind that each type is an abstraction that shines in its own way. In films and novels, we encounter archetypal roles such as the Knight in Shining Armor. But real people aren’t just their roles.

System Requirements:
* iPhone or iPod Touch 2.2.1 or later

Pricing and Availability:
Love Therapy 1.0 is only $2.99 (USD) and available exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category.
