HENSVIK changing table/cabinet - Great idea!

Advantages: Double use as a cabinet and baby changing table, inexpensive, easy to assemble
Disadvantages: Flaking paint on the changing table after a while

...I bought the Hensvik changing table/cabinet designed by Carina Bengs a couple of years ago from IKEA for £85. I was expecting my second baby and loved the idea of the double use in this piece of furniture. First, it can be used as a changing table for your baby and when one is no longer required, the changing shelf can be removed and a second book shelf can be easily fitted into a slot above and there you go: you have a lovely looking book cabinet. The assembly was fairly simple. The instructions came in true IKEA style with pictures but the assembly was easily manageable with those. The Allen key and all screws were included, so you can unwrap, assemble and use. The assembled size measures as follows: Width: 75 cm Depth: 41 cm Height: 161 cm The item has a very good size and fits for example in my house into an alcove...

Movies For Halloween - The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari

Advantages: One of those "greatest film ever" regulars, and with good reason.
Disadvantages: None.

...There is something inherently eerie, otherworldly, about silent pictures. Whatever the merit of the film itself, the faint flickering of the frames (however good the restoration), the grain, the occasionally over-theatrical performances (I'm generalising horribly here, I know. There is nothing theatrical about many of the performances in, for example, Benjamin Christensen's masterpiece Haxan), even the nature of the musical soundtrack, disembodied and carrying on with little synchronisation with movements, actions onscreen... Eerie, yes. And how much more so when these elements are wrapped around a picture already reeking of the uncanny? A picture, perhaps, like Robert Weine's 1919 The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari. The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari is a masterpiece. Routinely propping up the top end of Best Films Ever Made lists, it is...

Government Structures: Cabinet with a leader

Advantages: May interest you, you should take an interest in what's going on around you
Disadvantages: It's about the Council I work for, may bore you silly.

...This a a report I wrote about new political changes regarding Durham County Council. Any feedback would be greatly appriciated. Local Government and Local Democracy New Political Structures : Cabinet with a leader “Reform of the public services is the route to social justice”. (Tony Blair 27th Sept. 2002) The intention of this report is to reflect upon a key part of New Labour’s modernisation agenda. The rationale for the reform of political structures will be analysed and the impact of the introduction of a Cabinet with a leader structure will be assessed. The organisational structures of local authorities will be analysed and the roles of councillors, officers, the public and other agencies will be evaluated, and the process of policy making and resource allocation will be explained. “New...

The hidden command of World War 2

Advantages: Reasonably priced (for London) and lots to see
Disadvantages: Narrow corridors could create accessibility problems; can be crowded

...Tucked behind Downing Street with access from Horse Guards Road in central London, the Cabinet War Rooms were the highly secret nerve-centre of Britain's strategic planning during the Second World War. Hidden beneath yards of reinforced steel and concrete, the War Rooms housed Britain's senior military staff and provided safe quarters for Winston Churchill and the wartime Cabinet. Now converted into a tourist centre/museum, the War Rooms have been left in the condition they were found when they were finally locked up in 1945. From Winston Churchill's trans-Atlantic telephone room to Mrs Churchill's own bedroom and kitchen to the Chief of Staff's central map room, the War Rooms revel the hidden organisation that went into Britain's wartime efforts. Much of the musem is experienced through glass screens, but with a handheld Audio...

SPIT DON'T SWALLOW! - ONE FOR THE CABINET

Advantages: Effective and fast working
Disadvantages: Makes my mouth numb

...Lately I have been suffering from mouth ulcers, of which I seem to get quite frequently. Mouth ulcers can be extremely unpleasant and can make eating a meal absolute living hell! This is why I ventured to my local Savers and purchased a bottle of Oraldene. Oraldene is an over the counter medicine that has many uses and should be considered an essential item for your bathroom cabinet. I have used this before and find it works well and is a bit of an all rounder as far as counter medicines go. Oraldene can be found in the likes of Superdrug and Boots and you will notice the eyecatching silver/pink and blue box which stands out against it's contemporaries. I noticed under the text Oraldene, was something called Hexetidine. This is an antibacterial and antifungal antiseptic - this must have been too much of a mouthful and so they...

THERE'S AN ALIEN'S HEAD ON MY FILING CABINET

Advantages: See review
Disadvantages: See review

...The HP 710 is a multi-function printer, scanner, copier and fax. My belief has always been that, unless you spend an awful lot of money, equipment like this tends to be versatile but not terribly efficient. So how does the HP 710 shape up? LOOKS The 710 is a curious looking piece of equipment. Moulded in curvy grey plastic, there is a pull-out tray at the front that holds papers as they are printed or copied out – this looks rather like a giant mouth, and sat on top of my filing cabinet the whole arrangement looks rather like a decapitated alien’s head. There is a small panel to the left-hand side that contains all the control buttons, and the standard number buttons, but the rest of the unit is plain. Initially, I wasn’t so keen on the design, but I have warmed to it and now quite like it. INSTALLATION...

The original scary film!

Advantages: Very interesting
Disadvantages: No sound

..."The Cabinet of Dr.Caligari", one of the great classics from the Weimar Republic, was directed in 1919 by Robert Wiene. Set in the small German town of Holstenwall, the story is narrated by one of the main characters, the student Francis (Friedrich Feher). The film begins with Francis telling an old man the story of the horrible ordeal which happened to him, which the film then goes on to portray. The fair has come to the small town of Holstenwall and Alan, Francis' friend and contender for the love of Jane (Lil Dagover)persuades him to go. There they go and see the exhibit of Dr.Caligari (Werner Kraus), a creepy hunched over old man. His exhibit is Cesare (Conrad Veidt), a 23 year old somnambulist who has spent every year of his life asleep. However, Dr.Caligari, his master awakens him for the audience to ask him questions (he...

A Handy Little Speaker Cabinet

Advantages: Good sound quality, quite compact
Disadvantages: A tad heavy!

...The Marshall 1936 Speaker Cabinet is a cabinet designed for use with a Marshall amplifier head. The cabinet contains two 12” speakers and has an output rating of 150 watts (RMS). Most people are probably aware of the appearance of Marshall amplifiers and speaker cabinets. If you have watched a band on Top of the Pops and by “band” I mean a set of musicians playing instruments as opposed to 5 teenagers dancing about the place, or that awful Busted lot! Anyway, ranting aside, you may have seen the big Marshall amplifiers and speakers lurking in the background behind the guitar players! The Marshall speaker cabinet has been around for many years. It came out in its first guise (a cabinet containing four 12” speakers) back in the mid sixties, as a response to the pop and rock bands of the day demanding greater...
