Rock it baby.

Advantages: durable
Disadvantages: Not many available

...Let me tell you about the fisher price rock ?a- stack. This toy is basically a pole on a base that your child stacks rings. There are many similar stacking toys available from different toy makers we have one of these in the early year's dept of the special school I work in. Fisher price has made this toy since 19 60 .I believe maybe slightly updated now but still the same basic toy. Fisher price must have sold 1000's of this toy as I have seen it in many homes and childcare centres. Fisher price make good durable toys. The Fisher Price rock-a- stack is made out of a durable plastic. The Rock-a- stack toy is easy to wash to keep germ free. The white base has a curved base that will enable baby rock the toy from side to side. This toy however will stand upright on its curved base; there is a small flat area. A white plastic...

Review of Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Rock-a-Stack

2008

Advantages: i did ok
Disadvantages: some stresses and strains

...1) What did you do in 2008 that you have not done before? I taught English to a class of Germans over the summer. I was terrified when asked to do it but absolutely loved it and was a brilliant experience. 2) Did anyone close to you give birth? Not that I can think of although almost I have 7 friends who are currently pregnant and expecting their babies very soon! 3) Did anyone close to you die? No one particularly close to, but someone that I admired very much. A local man who was well known for his dedication to the local carnival and his yearly appearances as father Christmas at various occasions. I had know him since I was little and he was short, a little overweight with a white beard. Throughout our childhood, my brother and I as well as our friends were utterly convinced that he was the real father Christmas! He was...

Vivienne Westwood's 'Let It Rock' - A modern classic?

Advantages: Lasts longer than most perfumes
Disadvantages: Can be hard to find on the High Street

...I first bought this perfume after having Vivienne Westwoods 'Boudoir' and loving that. With 'Let It Rock', Vivienne Westwood delivers another aromatic scent in her signature styled bottle. For me, this has a sweet woody aroma - patchouli and freesia spring to mind and has the deep heady hit like Westwoods 'Boudoir' perfume. It's got a very Autumnal feel to it, mellow and sweet. This is one of my favourite perfumes for going out as is lasts without fading so the bottle lasts ages. The bottle features Vivienne Westwood's orb and also iridescent glass. I'm glad this comes in a gift package also, as this is a really well presented perfume and body lotion set. I also think 'Let It Rock' has a wide appeal, not only to younger consumers as it's a mature and sophisticated scent. One word of warning though, be prepared to wear this all...

Review of Vivienne Westwood Let It Rock Eau de Parfum Spray

It's only rock and roll, but you'll like it!

Advantages: Excellent Soundtrack - 70 songs to rock out to. Addictive as anything you'll play.
Disadvantages: Can get very difficult, initial expense of controller is high.

...Its time to rock hard people, and when I say rock hard I mean it in more than one way! With the Wii just shy of a year old, the Guitar Hero franchise makes its way to Nintendo's little white box. Gone are the days when you'll jump around the room playing air guitar to your favourite Rock Anthems. Now Activision and Red Octane have produced a game that allows you to do all that but with a pseudo-guitar in your hands. Rock On! So let me explain, for those not already in the know, the Guitar Hero games are based on the premise of you pretending to play the guitar along to music in a similar vein to the dance mat games of yesteryear. As with those dance mat games, musical notes approach vertically on screen, and when they reach the bottom of the screen, that's your cue to play the required combination. Initially just playing...

Review of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (Wii)

Stick It To The Man!! - School of Rock

Advantages: Jack Black, humour, soundtrack
Disadvantages: Bit unrealistic, although not really a disadvantage.

...Could Dewey Finn really become the next legend of the rock guitar? His got the stage presence (although crowding surfing to an empty space can seem a reoccurring problem). His got his face melting guitar solos (although a ten minute solo may be too much for some to handle). His even got the classically trained private school kids! What?! It doesn't seem to sound right or if it could even work, but this is basically what this film revolves around. Dewey (Jack Black) is the typical wannabe guitar player. He dreams of the high life of playing with his band to thousands making millions. He realizes life isn't that easy however when he's kicked out of his band when the big battle of the bands is just around the corner. Desperate to get money to pay his rent to his best mate, which is long overdue, Dewey goes to drastic measures when he...

Review of School Of Rock (DVD)

It rocked my world

Advantages: Good premise; lots of personality; music editing is fun; attractive price
Disadvantages: Short; lacks depth; has some mildly annoying gameplay and technical niggles

...Rock Manager is yet another one of those value-priced business sims flooding the PC gaming market. But it?s a surprisingly refreshing one that substitutes depth with attitude and fun. I mean, when?s the last time you played a game where some lout yells ?F*** off!? before demanding more booze? As the title suggests, you become a ?rock manager? and must tackle nine challenging scenarios to complete the game. The goal of most of them is to manage, produce, and promote an up-and-coming rock band. As you can imagine, this is no easy task. Try dealing with a club that thinks your band?s sound is ?too anarchistic and loud,? or coping with a TV network that won?t give you the time of day. At the start of the game, you ?audition? potential band members, pick a name, and spend cash to license some music before hitting the recording studio...

Review of Rock Manager (PC)

Rock Shox Tora

Advantages: Price, stiffness, travel, durability
Disadvantages: Average weight

...Rock Shox seem to have the budget corner of the fork market well and truly cornered and this latest tora is no exception. Other manufacturers budget forks are cheap, heavy, flexy and not very pleasant to ride on but the tora blows away all these expectations. It comes in at a sensible (but no lightweight) weight, but makes up for this with excellent lateral stiffness. The travel is extremely plush for a fork in this price range and absorbs both small trail bumps as well as large drops with ease. This particular U Turn model allows adjustable travel and the fork features both V brake mounts as well as an IS disk mount. Rock Shox are known for their reliability and with regular servicing this fork should last a very long time. Simply brilliant for the money...

Review of Rock Shox Tora 302 U-Turn 2008

  Rock Star

Advantages: Well thought out story
Disadvantages: sometimes shallow

...seemed very surprised and gave me a funny look when I told her it was for me that worried me for a start. The story was interesting because firstly it centred on the lives of three very different contrasting characters that, only shared a wonderful talent. It was fascinating to see what happened to them as the novel went chronologically through all the highs and lows of their lives, all the main developments that went to make them all Rock Stars. Yes in some ways it was shallow, the way these fortunate people enjoyed such a lavish lifestyle. Full of beautiful young men and women who?s only leisure time pursuit seemed to be having sex. Luckily these scenes were not too graphic in the author?s descriptions of them; instead she left quite a bit of it to your own imagination which was fine by me. The story built up well leading to a very...

Review of Rock Star - Jackie Collins

2008 all it was..and why I wasn't here as much!

Advantages: Earning more money
Disadvantages: My children's lives were disrupted and it showed

...Oh goodness, where to start? First of all, many of you will realise I haven't been around as much as I used to be in 2008 as I was previously. That's because I was working full time and also trying to spend more time with my children in the evenings because of it. So very little time was left for the computer or writing. The year started off well, as I was working full time as a retail associate for one of the big Optician brands in the country. I wasn't earning huge bucks but it paid the bills, let me go on holiday and also gave me a bit of personal freedom from being "just a mother" not that that's in any way a bad thing?but sometimes we just need a little more! I got on well with all of my colleagues, although it was a smaller store than some of the others in our company, in total I worked with only 7 others. But sometimes...

Review of Your Personal Review of 2008

THE ROCK!

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...In 1996, Michael Bay directed the box office smash hit "The Rock", starring Nicholas Cage, Sean Connery and Ed Harris. Although quite a old film, I once again saw this film last week, and I cant seem to get bored of it. Michael Bay is a brilliant director, his story telling, action sequences and special effects always make a film watchable. The Plot: The film revolves around a group of rogue marines, who fed up with the American governments support for war veterans, decide to plot revenge on their own government. Led by Francis X. Hummel (Ed Harris), the marines steal VX nerve gas from a military base. They then find themselves taking hostages at Alcatraz Island, were guided tours are now present. The marines take control of the island, planting the VX nerve gas al over the island ready to launch if needed. Now knowing...
