Entertainment Award in the Comedy Category in 1998, and while it is certainly funny (comedian Tim Wright is lead writer), it offers more than plain comedy. The creators call it a personality test--but there aren't the straightforward questions you expect from a personality test, of the is-the-glass-half-full-or-empty type. Instead, you are taken through a series of fast-paced, graphically rich games in animated environments, at the end of which your mental fitness is assessed in five categoriesopen to new ideaschallenger to received informationexperimentalproactiveempoweredOnce you've been assessed, you can visit the Games Room, the Pool and Ideas, and the Think Tank, where games and activities are designed to develop your weaker points. The games--and the voices and graphics that accompany them--are witty, challenging, fun, campy and unpredictable. Take the challenge. --Kathleen Keefe

My Reason For Purchasing A Beautiful Mind DVD.
I wrote this review a year or so ago for another review site which has since closed. I thought I would upload it here as A Beautiful Mind is one of my favourite Drama films ever and I just wanted to recommend it and give some opinions on it. There is quite a few reviews already about it, but I just wanted to give my two cents worth also.
A Beautiful mind is one of my favourite Russell Crowe Movies. I actually like this better than the movie Gladiator. Well I watched this film a few years ago at the Movie house and I enjoyed it so much, that I bought it on DVD when it first was released. I have watched it several times over the years and each time I do, I love it more and always seem to pick up on something I missed in the film the previous time I watched it. This really is ...
Advantages: sturdy, strong, robust, attractive, compact Disadvantages: difficult to assemble, not as much fun as it could be

Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most crèches or children?s play areas seem to have one of these activity gyms and they looked bright and colourful so we decided to get one for my brothers first birthday.
The activity gym as shown in the picture is made up of four side panels, each with holes in for the child to climb through. There is a small bright pink slide and a blue floor, which the children can go under or climb on to go down the slide.
As we unpacked the activity gym it looked relatively simple to assemble, as it was really just a case of slotting the panels together but don?t be fooled! It was not at all easy to assemble although the only consolation is that if it was that difficult to put together its going to be near impossible for it to fall apart! The brightly ...
Advantages: A great insight to what it's like to live with a mental disorder Disadvantages: none
Firstly, I?m going to try so hard not to give too much of this film away! It?s a really good watch if you don?t know much about it because that?s what makes this a brilliant film. I first watched this film not knowing hardly anything about it and when I think back it made the film more enjoyable to watch. A Beautiful Mind is based on a true story of John Forbes Nash, Jr. also based on the biography ?A Beautiful Mind? by Sylvia Nasar.
A Beautiful Mind directed by Ron Howard and produced by Brian Grazer tells the journey of John Nash (Russell Crowe) dealing with a mental disorder (I?m not going to tell you which) which had gone un-diagnosed for many years, besides from this Nash is an extremely talented mathematician who believes that there is a mathematical solution to everything. The film starts off with Nash at Princeton University ...

And as result we are more likely to: make the right things happen; come up with original ideas; achieve more in less time; gain energy and have less negative stress; win people round to our point of view.
