*An insiders review of Habitat!*

Advantages: I can help you save money!
Disadvantages: You may hae to wait for an offer to come around....

...A little insider?s review of Habitat! So, as some of you may know Habitat is owned by Ikano-the same company that owns Ikea. It was established in 1964 in London, and has now become an international brand with stores all over the UK and Europe, and now has franchised branches in places such as Dubai, Thailand and Turkey to name a few. It focuses on beautiful and stylish products, and on the whole, in my opinion succeeds in this. The main objection most people will have is the price. Habitat is not intended to be a high street retailer, it is an upmarket shop....open any specialist home design magazine and any Habitat products listed will be some of the cheapest there. But in comparison to high street stores, it is at the higher end of anyone?s budget. Anyway, onto the ?insiders part?. Firstly, getting what you want ? for less...

Review of Habitat (Shop)

A wonderul creation!

Advantages: Excellent recording and product
Disadvantages: Pricey - but very much worth every penny!

...instruments! I suppose it is an acquired taste, but I think the sound is far superior to that of a modern orchestra. THE WORK The Creation was first performed in 1798 in Vienna, and the work has not lost any significance in it's message over the two and a half centuries since. It is an oratorio, which is a religious work set to music, and it accounts the creation of the world as described in Genesis. We start off with Chaos, before the creation, and proceed to the 6 days in which God created light, the heavens, weather, grass, creatures and beasts, the stars and finally man. The story is told by three angels, Gabriel (Emma Kirkby, who also sings the part of Eve), Raphael (Michael George, who also plays Adam) and Uriel (Anthony Johnstone). Each point of creation starts by one of the angels describing what is to come in the form...

Review of Haydn: The Creation

A collection of their creations

Advantages: Attractive box and some good picks
Disadvantages: Ingredient information not very clear, expensive

...What can I say other than I can't stop nibbling at these biscuits. Firstly I did not buy them, I got them in the work hamper, unlike year we got Fox's creation biscuit tin, I seen this box and thought ok. I didn't take a lot of notice as it was nearly christmas and things were getting mad. he one thing I did notice that while shopping I noticed this box on the shelf and it was £3.99, wow that's dear for a box of chocolate biscuits. Well when it came to opening them I noticed it said 10 of our most creative biscuits and inside there is 2 of the same, so 20 biscuits inside the box. The weight of the box is 400g It is a very deep burgundy colour with very appetizing pictures of some of the biscuits inside. The ingredients are on the back of the box, but it gives you all ingredients together not individually, which is a bit...

Review of Fox's Creations

WOW WHAT A CREATION!!

Advantages: INNOVATIVE WAY TO EXERCISE IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME
Disadvantages: NICE IF IT COULD WORK OUT HOW MANY CALORIES YOU HAVE BURNT TOO

...I have had the Wi Fit for a month now and I am amazed at this intelligent creation. It is a fitness and fun package where by using the Wii Balance board you can weigh yourself and work out your BMI. You can then set yourself a goal to ahcieve and then work on the four different excercise areas. They are Yoga, Muscle Workouts, Aerobic and Balance Games. I find the balance games alot of fun and the Yoga and Aerobics are very good workouts. I have managed to lose 3lbs in a week by using Wii Fit for roughly 30 mins a day for five days. I have found that as you can exercise in the comfort of your own home, you can do it at anytime, i.late evening etc. By also being able to keep a log of your weight, you feel motivated to watch what you eat as when you weigh yourself next time you want to see a reduction in weight etc. Overall...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

Habitually bad, HabiTAT

Advantages: city centre equivalent of IKEA but classier and more durable
Disadvantages: Complaints system is dreadful, customer service is poor

...Well, I am a home-improvement addict. I love Habitat as a rule. It is everything right about the world in what it sells, it is the staff and sales system that fail it. Habitat is the ultimate in snobby interior stuff! It sells everything from candles to glasses to cushions to tables and chairs. There seems to be a Habitat in almost every city and although not cheap it sells VERY nice products. Everything is very trendy and colourful. I have been shopping there for as long as I can remember - even before I was able to pay for it myself! But this op is not about all that is great in Habitat, in fact quite the opposite. When I bought my first house (a little over a year ago - how about that for a 21 year old!!!!), I knew where I was going to shop for it! I found a table that screamed my name and begged me to take it home. Well...

Review of Habitat (Shop)

Creation the evidence.

Advantages: The truth is not out there, it is within
Disadvantages: There are some Skeptics

...This is a challenge from ?dididave? and he quotes: My challenge to you is to write a review in 700 words or less and still get pre-dominantly VH ratings. If I can humbly ask ciaoers to rate all reviews on content not length. Before I begin my 700 words on ?Creation Vs Evolution? let me first explain my reason for choosing this subject and linking it to ?dididave? challenge. 1) I believe there is a lot of misunderstanding of this topic. 2) There are a lot of people who do not want to think about this topic, as they see it as having no significance to them. Hopefully by the end of this review your will have thought about, perhaps for the first time, where we all came from. 3) A lot of writings on this topic tend to be far too long and people get fed up reading them. 4) People tend to accept what scientists say...

Shattered Dreams of my Future Habitat

Advantages: Very nice, modern products
Disadvantages: Poor customer service

...I always used to love going into Habitat, dreaming about what my future home would look like with that sofa. Oh, and those chairs, with that table, and that cutlery set. My imaginary millions dwindled before my very eyes. But in reality, I only bought the odd small knick-knack – I am still but a poor student! Yet Habitat came to the rescue when I needed picture frames. I decided that I would be better off buying picture frames to save my newly decorated walls from the relentless torture of sticking up and ripping down posters. Habitat had just the ones… 70x100cm Frameless Frames. The only problem was that I needed three – and this turned into a gigantic problem! I purchased the first frame when I saw it and it was perfect so I decided that I would get two more. So off I went to Belfast (about 30 miles away...

Creation Vs Evolution

Advantages: New fossil evidence turning up all the time
Disadvantages: None - make up your own mind!

...Creation Vs Evolution. Fact or Fiction? Is Creation true, or just mumbo jumbo spouted by fundamentalist Christians and other religions? Until 7 or 8 years ago, I didn’t believe in the creation, and took the evolutionary view. After all I am a scientist! What do you expect? I reckon more than 90% of scientists do. When I became a Born Again Christian 12 years ago, I really wanted to find out as much as possible about God, my faith and, of course, the Bible. One day, at a retreat at a Christian healing Center called Ellel Pierrepont, see http://www.ellelministries.org/, I was talking to a female minister and declared that I believed in evolution. She burst out crying! She said that we are, in fact, undergoing the degradation of creation, things are getting worse, not better! I was really taken aback. What does she mean, I thought. So...

Review of Creation Vs Evolution

Creationism is superstitious nonsense

Advantages: Get rid of Jehovah's witnesses!
Disadvantages: A sterile debate

...When I was at Uni, I shared a house with sixteen other lads, one of whom happened to be a Christadelphian. I know this sounds like a brand of soft cheese, but it is in fact a sect of Christianity. When we got drunk (as we frequently did in the first year of my degree) the hot topics to argue about were invariably politics and evolution. They also had the advantage that they could go on indefinitely, as religion is not based on reason. (Our arguments on politics were equally futile). Belief in Creationism boils down to blind faith. The Word of God must be true, therefore, He must have created the Universe in seven days, the Earth must be 6008 years old (as espoused by Bishop Ussher in the seventeenth century, who painstakingly worked out the chronology from the Bible), and the Sun must orbit the Earth, etc. All ludicrous...

Review of Creation Vs Evolution

Creation is not a scientific alternative

Advantages: Evolution is good science
Disadvantages: Creation is non science and bizarre theology

...Let my first start by saying this. I am currently writing a book on bizarre beliefs, and creationism forms a large part of it. In this review, I intend to set out to prove that creationism is not a viable scientific alternative to the theory of evolution or the surrounding theories of abiogenesis, and the natural study of the Earth. The arguments put forward by creationists are fallacious, disingenious and are red herrings on the path to scientific understanding. Creationism or intelligent design should not be taught in school science classes for a number of reasons, which I will delve in to later. There is a great deal of controvesy in both Britain and the United States over the teaching of creationism, especially since Sir Peter Vardy opened a number of schools in the North of England which teach creationism as a scientific...
