Crystal

Advantages: Good story, one of five books
Disadvantages: Not actually V.C

...V.C.Andrews is a very famous author known primarily for her books The 'Dollanganger Family' one of which is titled flowers in the attic. Most of the books under her name come in fives. Four separate stories which somehow wind together to create a fifth. Crystal is no exception and it is the second instalment to the 'Orphans Miniseries'. The others are known as Butterfly, Brooke, Raven and finally Runaways. Now before I go further I have to break a few hearts. Even though V.C.Andrew is famous for many a book she has personally penned few herself. She did write the whole Dollanganger family series just as she wrote half the Casteel family series and My Sweet Audrina. Apart from this the only thing she contributed was her notes on the idea of a book. A ghost writer fills in her shoes and writes her ideas under her name. He is called...

Review of Crystal - Virginia Andrews

Little Cleaning Crystals of Wonderment

Advantages: Cheap, Environmentally friendly, Versatile...they're just great, ok?
Disadvantages: You wouldn't want to sprinkle them on your cornflakes!

...In my eternal quest to try and save money, and allow me to spend more on the finer things in life (nice holidays etc), I've reading up a lot on different ways to shop and save. My latest discovery is Soda Crystals and for this I need to thank Kim and Aggie and my other half being late home, causing me to watch their programme on BBCAmerica (Their show is on 4 times a day in America, can you believe it?). My shopping bill seems to get bigger and bigger and I often find new products I want to try out, or 'need' as they claim to 'better than the rest'. My biggest expense always seem to come from cleaning products, be it limescale removers, washing powder, fabric softener, bleaches and creams, window cleaners, sink and drain cleaners...you get the idea. Then whilst watching the domestic goddesses (Kim and Aggie) they started using this...

Review of Soda Crystals

  Nintendo's Crystal

Advantages: Nice gameplay and storyline,enjoyable longevity
Disadvantages: sound system is not qualified

...Best of the best `````````````````````` Along with its well-known anime, Pokémon is the most famous RPG game series on handheld console of Nintendo. Nearly 10 year had passed, 12 versions had been released in turn since the end of 1997, divided into 4 groups: Red, Blue, Green on Gameboy (no colour), Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal on Gameboy color; Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald on Gameboy advance and lately, Diamond and Pearl on Nintendo DS. A remarkable thing about the series is Yellow, Crystal and Emerald seems to be the perfected and mixed versions of two or three others with similar game play and story line (there might be another version like that for Diamond and Pearl, soon, I think). Therefore, for me, those are the best. However, Crystal, as the first game of the series that I?ve played, outstands from all others. Surpasses all...

Review of Pokemon Crystal (GBC)

Bright Crystal, Bright Smell

Advantages: delicious, fresh scent
Disadvantages: could be a bit stronger

...Finally the Versace house has decided to look back to the triumphant days of Gianni, the house founder, and what made him a legend. Bright Crystal, launched in 2006, is a celebration of the 80's which saw Gianni Versace's transformation from designer to emperor of the fashion world. This revival was not very original, but rather a safe card to play with considering the overflow of 80's remembrances in last two years. The composition of Bright Crystal is very pleasing though not completely innovative. The top notes are Pomegranate, Yuzu, and Iced Accord. The sensual smell of pomegranate instigates the imagination in an empowering way that liberate the internal Green Goddess of every woman (in Greek mythology, the fruit was used to evoke the powerful Goddess Hera). Also like Hera, the result of this is a scent that is sweet enough to...

Review of Versace Bright Crystal Eau De Toilette Spray

Crystal Clear

Advantages: A handy and interesting book for Crystal lovers.
Disadvantages: Could be a bit heavy-going for beginners.

...For the past year or two I have developed a love for Crystals, and using them daily to heal and enhance my life in many ways. 'The Crystal Bible: A definitive Guide to Crystals' by Author Judy Hall, was bought as a gift for me. It has been easy to use and very interesting to read. I became interested in Crystals through my practice of Yoga and interest in energy charkas of the body. I ask you to read this review with an open mind, as not everyone into crystals and all things spiritual. Basically Crystal Healing involves utilizing the energy that all crystals give off to heal parts of the body. It works with the 7 energy chakras of the Body, which if are blocked or in need of some help, crystals will give that help simply by wearing a corresponding Crystal as a piece of Jewellery in the affected area, or placing the crystal on the body...

Review of The Crystal Bible - Judy Hall

Crystal Playing

Advantages: Great set of rock instrumental songs
Disadvantages: Couple of weak links

...remains uncomplicated in its texture allowing all the instruments to be audible. The main melody is catchy and this song really is a great opening to the album, dispelling all my fears it was going to be another heavily influenced "blues album" which just isn't my thing. 02 - HOUSE FULL OF BULLETS A more laid back approach to this track, but the tempo is still mid-fast range and the chuggin' rhythm started by the last song can also be felt in this one. Although its not as good as the first track in my opinion, its still not bad, and has a chill out, groove atmosphere which is facilitated with the effortlessly fluid melody dancing over the fat bass line. 03 - CRYSTAL PLANET (Recommended Listening) A fast and building riff starts the song, building tension before bouncing into a heavy, fast, powerful chordal movement. The main melody...

Review of Crystal Planet - Joe Satriani

Crystal Healing. A brief overview.

Advantages: Side Effect and drug free.
Disadvantages: None that I have found.

...Crystal healing is going to be the longest op in history if I don't try and condense it just a little and so to those who know the power of crystal's and thier uses in healing please bear in mind that what I am trying to do is relate my experiences and promote this very effective and drug free therapy. ~~~~What is Crystal Healing?~~~~ Well to know about crystal healing and how it works it is important to know about your chakra's, we all have them and there are 8 in total. 1) Crown ( top of head) 2) Third eye ( brow line between the eyes) 4) Throat ( hollow at base of throat) 5) Heart 6) Solar Plexus 7) Sacral (below navel) 8) Root or Base ( between legs) These Chakra points are the ones that respond to the presence of crystal's as they can pick up the vibrations that all crystal's give off, more so once...

Review of Crystal Therapy

Crystal Not So Clear

Advantages: Reminds us of our past history
Disadvantages: How we neglect the past and historic building.

...This review is on the Crystal Palace in London. I worked here with my company some three years ago at the National Sports Arena and spent a lot of my lunchtimes in and around the site which once stood the Crystal Palace and the Exhibition of 1851. This review will be a history of the Crystal Palace and the decline of this famous Victorian landmark. It's Conception The design for the Crystal Palace was by Sir Joseph Paxton and was designed in the incredible time of only 10 days! This was a huge goliath of a building constructed or iron and over a million feet of glass. The British were arguably the leaders of the Industrial Revolution and feeling very secure in its ideal that The Great Exhibition was a way of symbolising its industrial strength and military strength. The British at the time were very arrogant in the way in...

Review of The Crystal Palace

The crystal Skull - Headache of an ending

Advantages: Spectactular
Disadvantages: Hated the ending

...Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. Some sarcastic and critical people have called this film 'Indiana Jones and The Milking of the 4th Cash Cow. The film as you might expect has a plethora of stars, Harrison Ford - Indiana Jones. Karen Allen - Marion Ravenwood. Shia LaBeouf - Mutt Willliams. John Hurt - Professor Oxley. Jim Broadbent - Dean Charles Stanford. Kate Blanchett - Irina Spalko. Ray Winston Mac George McHale. Notably not in the film is Indies dad, Sean Connery and Marcus (Denholm Mitchell Elliott) who died in 1992. A very brief synopsis of the story begins with Indie and Mac taken against their will to 'Area 51', where Clues lead them onwards ending up in the jungle. Along the way Indie will pick up a deranged John Hurt, an old flame and a unknown Son! I won't fill in the innards of the story because it...

Review of Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull (DVD)

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Advantages: Good adventure
Disadvantages: Too much computer generation

...Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It's finally here, the fourth instalment of the Indian Jones series which we have waited 19 years for is finally here and the verdicts are in, but is it any good or not? I went to see this at the cinema this weekend with three others, one of which had never seen an Indian Jones film before (how is that possible?) but we talked her into it. I am a big fan of the films and first saw them as a child but have watched them over and over again through the years (generally when they are on the tele over Christmas) so I was hoping that this one was going to be as good. I read a lot of the critic's reviews before seeing it which in general weren't that complimentary but kept an open mind going into it. Cinema goers however didn't seem to worry about bad reviews as the film took £12.5m...
