My Bay

Advantages: tasty addition to stews and cassorole
Disadvantages: maybe to strong for your taste

...scent and the best way to dry the leaves is in the dark, this way they don't lose their colour. They can be stored in an airtight jar after the are dried, but in summer it is always good to be able to pick the leaves from the plant to add the fresh herb to your recipe. Bay can be put into stews and casseroles to give them an added flavour, remember to take them out though before seving. One or two leaves should be enough to flavour your meal. You can add them to a bottle of olive oil along with a few chillies and a clove of garlic, to give the oil extra flavour. You can put them in the pot when you are braising meat and they are excellent for flavouring home made tomato sauce. Here is a little recipe with bay that you might like to try. 8oz of green lentils 2 bay leaves 1 medium onion 6tsp sunflower oil or olive oil 2-3...

Review of Bay

Nature at Bay

Advantages: Accessible, attractive, atmospheric
Disadvantages: Covers too small an area

...As you walk west towards the sunset along the beach at Le Crotoy, the rattle of shingle soon gives way to the soft crunch of seashells in the sand beneath your feet. Before long you are away from the town and the only other sound to be heard is from out in the estuary, a mixed chorus of gulls, geese and sandpipers. They rise and fall in flurries amid the creeks in the grey-green mud. Dusk descends, and a red navigation light flashes out to sea. When you turn to retrace your footsteps, a trail of luminescent dots discloses the habitations on the far side of the bay of the Somme. * Why go, and how? * Even the most enthusiastic advocates (like me) of overnight shopping/eating/drinking trips to France have to admit that the area around Calais and Boulogne does sometimes become a bit overrun with English visitors (like me...

PS3 slim

Advantages: Blu-ray, free online, nice extras like vidzone & iplayer. Almost silent operation
Disadvantages: Rubbish controller, still expensive, online nowhere near as good as xbox live

...Well, had the slim for a few weeks now (my 1st ever playstation), personally, I'm a little underwhelmed by it, I've been a gamer since the nintendo game & watch days & owned @ least 1 of the current gen consoles since the Mega Drive(Genesis). Graphically the system has the potential to wipe the floor with the 360, but this is really only going to apply to PS3 exclusives as any software house making a multi-platform game is going to be as cost effective (lazy) as possible & use the same graphics on all the games where possible(ok, they need to dumb them down for the Wii). My problem here is that I have yet to get a game for it that runs in 1080P, they all seem to be in 720P! Why???? I'm sure they are out there, but I haven't found one yet. I guess this is down to most HD tv's being HD ready rather than Full HD. Sound-Yeah, ok...

BAY TRADING

Advantages: Great quality, styles and prices
Disadvantages: Too cramped store

...with curtains. There are mirrors everywhere which is great, changing rooms without mirrors are dull and pointless! I think I've explained enough about the store, onto the items and products, I've bought many tops from 'Bay'. Before I begin nattering, Bay Trading sells womens clothes, no kids and no male clothing and sizes vary from around an 8/10 to a 14/16. All the items that I've bought from Bay have been of great quality, the last top I bought had 3/4 length sleeves and the number '51' printed across the front. ~ It's great. The prices are also very reasonable, for this top I payed £9.99. Many of the other items are even cheaper than this which is great for a store of such great qualities. Bay trading also, very often have great SALES on, I love that word, most women do though! Whenever you go into the store you'll always see great offers. I...

playstation 3 slim: the facts!

Advantages: very powerful, multifunctional console
Disadvantages: No real price cut

...The PS3 Slim is the latest PlayStation 3 games console, but it is essentially the same console as before, but with slimmed down components and a new, smaller body. The key improvements in the PS3 Slim are the 120GB hard drive, up from 40GB, 60GB and 80gb in previous UK versions and making it slimmer has made it 36 per cent lighter, 33 per cent smaller and it consumes at least 34 per cent less power (for you know worry about you electricity bills). The PS3 Slim represents a new console just in time for x-mas, one that could start to make sony some profit because up to this is due to the vast majority of PS3 sold so far (around 24 million of them) have been sold at a loss. However, new manufacturing procedures have changed this recently, and a redesigned 45nm Cell processor along with other similarly small and power efficient components...

Did you know bay is a sweet laurel ?

Advantages: good for cookery
Disadvantages: ?

...(Umbellularia californica) The word Bacca laureate means laurel berry this word is used to describe the exam equivalent to an A level. The bay laurel tree leaves were used in ancient Greece to make a laurel wreath which the winner of the Pythian Games wore; these games were the forerunner of The Olympic Games. These called the wreath of honour. The games were played to hour the god Apollo who wore a laurel wreath; he wore this in memory of Daphne a Greek nymph whose father turned her into a laurel tree so she could avoid Apollo's amorous advances. Autumn is quite a good time to plant a bay laurel tree they are available from http://www.crocus.co.uk/search/results/?q=bay%20laurel&x=5&y=9 where a3 foot tree costs about £8 Also grown in England native of Europe is the Cherry Laurel - Prunus laurocerasus Family - Rosaceae it is Also known as...

Byron Bay Beach Bum!!

Advantages: Great beaches and surf
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Beach Bum in Byron Byron Bay is situated on the East Coast of Australia in New South Wales. Byron Bay is a relaxing retreat with gorgeous beaches for sun bathing and surfing, a hippy vibe with lots of alternative health shops and therapies, a party atmosphere with great bars and often music festivals, it really has something for everyone. Things to do: Byron Bay Lighthouse - This is must do while in Byron Bay, the lighthouse walk is well worth the effort with amazing costal views and in the right season whale spotting can be done from the top. I have been informed that this season over 200 whales where spotted in Byron Bay in the first 3 days of migration. I highly recommend the Sun Rise walk, about 5am you can head up to the Light House and watch the amazing sight of the sun coming up over the most beautiful scenery...

Review of Byron Bay Break

Bay Is Ok

Advantages: it's ordinary
Disadvantages: nothing more

...Stores which usually have a selection on the main stock, although which pieces are chosen to be sold here seems to vary from town to town. ~~ The Stock ~~ Bay have an unusual mix of classic plain pieces and fashionable items too. Because of this, they generally have the same timeless tops and skirts all year round, while the ?? will naturally change with the seasons to portray the latest trend. Things I’ve bought in the last 4 months include : A chenille fitted cardigan for £10 2 vest style tops for the summer - £3.99 each or 3 for £10 A bikini - £5.99 and £4.99 for the bits separately, or £8 together A sarong - £5.99 (maybe a little pricey, but I need it for the beach next week) This may sound cheap – I was looking at similar items at work which would have cost be twice that amount – but this...

Sony Playstation 3 (PS3)

Advantages: Best Entertainment System Avaliable, Region free games only
Disadvantages: 4GB file limitation External Storage, Cant read NTFS

...I am going to be reviewing possibly one of the biggest console in the market currently the PS3. Firstly I have one and it is great, now let's take a look at it in detail: LAUNCH November 11, 2006: This is when it debut in Japan November 17, 2006: It released in North America March 23, 2007: Finally was released in Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Africa and New Zealand. The UK launch was a shock for who went to it, as it was announced that everyone in the queue would receive a 46" Sony Bravia TV worth £2000. The launches did not turn out great for Sony as initial figures were low, here are the figures below: Worldwide: 5.59 Million - Japan 1,341,000 - North America 2,105,500 - Other 1,300,000 The launch was initially supposed to be as follows: November 11th for Japan and November 17th for North America...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Playstation 3 Great Product

Advantages: Useful, Multimedia Functions, Entertaining, Internet
Disadvantages: Does have the odd problems mostly HDMI issues.

...The Sony Playstation 3 is a great console, due to the fact it has alot exciting new features from the previous sucessors. One of the main reasons the PS3 has done well in the war against other consoles is that the games available on the this platform are much vast. The also have a quite alot of games which are exlusive to PS3. Some buyers only buy the ps3 because a certain game is availiable on this platform. Thats one of the main purposes i purchased the ps3 because i liked previous games which were on the previous console. I have played all rival consoles and compared to the xbox i would have to say the graphics look better on the PS3. I tested playing the same game on HDTV at 1080p even though the game was out putting at 720p. The contrast of colours and the detail stood out more on the PS3. The XMB( Xross Media Bar) developed...
