Jerusalem, City of Hope

Advantages: Ancient and vibrant, a city that lives simultaneously in and beyond time
Disadvantages: Prone to acts of war and other forms of madness

...►►Overview◄◄ Few places on Earth give rise to intense emotion as easily or quickly as Jerusalem. Indeed, even the name one applies to this ancient city can provoke controversy: Whether you choose to call it Yerushalayim, Jerusalem, or Al-Quds can be perceived as a political statement. Certainly there's no shortage of appropriate descriptors to apply to this extraordinary city: beautiful, timeless, passionate, inspiring, troublesome, enigmatic, holy, poignant, controversial, beguiling--the list is endless. Once again, your choice of words will tell as much about your own preconceptions as they do about the city. Jerusalem is a mosaic built over time by an extraordinary diversity of peoples and cultures. Perhaps most of all, it is a city that for millennia has been at the center of conflict--and that looks...

Post-It Notes!!

Advantages: convenient, stick relatively well, come in a wide variety of shapes, colours and sizes
Disadvantages: quite expensive, not too good for the environment

...~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Post-It Notes!! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Post-It Notes are such a simple invention but an incredibly useful one too!!! I expect that knows what Post-It Notes are and many of them probably own some but just for anyone who might not have encountered them before; they are little squares of paper (some can be rectangular shaped and other interesting shapes are now available). These little squares (or other shaped bits) of paper come in various different colours but the most popular one is yellow as they stand out when stuck on something so they are easy to spot but you can still read what is written on them as the colour is not too dark. These coloured bits of paper come in little pads (often of 100 notes) and have a strip of sticky adhesive on the back of them so they can be stuck to pretty much anything...

Review of Post It Notes

Robert Post

Advantages: good tunes and really catchy
Disadvantages: only one really outstanding track

...This is a self-titled album by singer songwriter Robert Post. He comes from a small village in Norway called Langevaag and he got together with two friends, Tor and Alf, and set about to record an album. Tor does the drums and Alf plays bass for Post. Mike Hedges is the producer of the album, who has produced work for many different artists such as the Manic Street Preachers or Travis. This album looks like it could be set to be big in due time. Again, I first heard some of his music through a friend, when he downloaded one of the songs though iTunes. Once I?d heard this song, I wanted to hear more as it was so upbeat and yet seemed to be different to general pop music that you would hear on the radio. I listened to the album with enthusiasm waiting for more wonderfully crafted songs that really make you want to sing along. I...

Review of Robert Post - Robert Post

First Class Post

Advantages: A beautiful and varied album
Disadvantages: An acquired taste

...Bjork is one of music's oddball characters who never fails to fascinate. Whether she's abusing reporters or dressing as a feathered creature when attending an award ceremony, the Icelandic songstress has been responsible for some of the most eclectic and beautiful albums that were produced in the late 20th Century. 'Post' was Bjork's second solo album, following her ingeniously titled debut called, er, 'Debut'. 'Debut' showcased her diverse musical influences from dance to folk, and enabled her to build up a large fanbase internationally. 'Post', released in 1995, moved her on to another level artistically. The sleeve design to 'Post' was more abstract than the cold, but endearing image of a weeping Bjork that appeared on 'Debut'. Instead, this album oozed a post-modern glow, and an altogether more confident individual...

Review of Post - Bjork

The most useful office tool: the Post-It

Advantages: Great for making notes
Disadvantages: Sometimes they come unstuck when you least want them to!

...Post-It notes are a common office staple. Even with the advance of technologies since the Post-It was invented in 1977, they are still used commonly and most of the time, in my job as a secretary, they are the most favoured way of writing on a report everything I've done wrong, or every tiny spelling mistake I've made! Of course, they can be used in much more positive ways than that, and not just in the office. Post-Its can be used by anyone, even as a kitchen appliance so leave notes on the fridge for your husband/kids/mum without leaving sticky marks everywhere or without having to invest in a drawing/cork board. The Post-It note popularity came out in the 1980s to 90s, when it started being marketed to the public, and since then has come out in a range of colours. I think what makes the Post-It so popular is that you can write...

Don't Forget It, Post It!

Advantages: Great for keeping on top of everything that you need to do, can make note making tidy and organised, can help with revision
Disadvantages: They are quite expensive in some peoples opinion and they can be over used at times

...-Introduction- Post-it notes are one of those inventions that most people will have come across by now and they will all have had some use for them. They have now been around for 25 years, 3M are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the humble Post-it note.

Review of Post It Notes

Post it

Advantages: Versatile, colourful, very very useful.
Disadvantages: Considering theyre just squares of paper with a bit of gum along the top, theyre rather expensive. plus if not used straight away the "stickiness" wears off

...Ever since visiting the millennium dome as a young and impressionable 12 year old girl, and seeing an entire wall full of messages written on post it notes i have been hooked. After leaving the dome i rushed (well maybe not rushed coz we had a 6 hour coach journey home) out with my mum to get some of these litte wonders. though at the time i did not truly understand the wonder of the post it! Below is a little factfile i have created to share my worldly knowledge of the product with you all. thort id try this format coz im new here so i dont really know what you all like in the reviews. and so far youve all been "constructively critisizing" my reviews and im starting to take it personal. haha.

First Past The Pee Post!

Advantages: If it works it will help train your dog to pee in one place so saving your lawn
Disadvantages: It didn't work for my dog

...We bought a puppy recently and just like having a baby there are various bits and pieces that you definitely need to buy (like the bed, food bowls, toys etc) and other things that you think "Oh that might be a good idea!" and before you know it you have spent a fortune. Well the Puppy Pee Post was one of those items we thought might be a good idea but not necessarily a necessity. We had seen it on a website and like the idea of what it aimed to do but weren't really sure if it was worth the money. Our breeder very kindly took us to a cash and carry to get the dog things for cheaper and we couldn't believe our eyes when we saw the pee post reduced to only 50p - well for 50p it was worth a try! What is it? It is basically a yellow post, roughly 8 inches high and is tapered at one end and has a round smooth cap like...

Review of Simple Solution Pee Post

Post, trip hop for the masses

Advantages: Great to fall asleep to.
Disadvantages: Not for those who like energetic music.

...Bjork's album post was released in 1995, the most famous track to come offf the cd being the hit, "It's oh so quiet". To many little more than a musical oddity, Bjork has steadily increased her appeal throughout her solo career. Blending an enchanting brand of beautifully sung pop and hardcore trip-hop, she is certainly distinctive. Making the follow-up to a successful debut album is never easy, but Bjork has pulled this grand feat off with style. First track 'Army of me' is a rather confused way to open an album, with a rumbling synthesised bass riff taking over parts, others controlled by what appear to be random sound effects. An impressive wall of sound with something of a trippy industrial feel Second up is 'Hyper-ballad'. It starts off with a synthesised lapping waves sound, and synthesised xylophone sound. Its very much more...

Review of Post - Bjork

The Post Birthday World

Advantages: Very gripping
Disadvantages: Too much sex and slightly repetitive

...I had read We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver last year and had been really impressed with it so when I saw The Post Birthday World in an airport newsagent I decided to buy it. This book has been nominated for quite a few literary awards. The book opens with a quite a typical opening for your typical chick lit novel. We are introduced to the dreary domestic life of our protagonist Irina McGovern, a thirty-something children's book illustrator. Irina is in a long-term (10 year) relationship with Lawrence Trainer which has gone a bit staid. Irina loves Lawrence but the sparkle has gone out of their relationship and Irina feels like she is stuck in a rut. Irina has a friend, Jude, whose husband Ramsey Acton is a famous snooker player. Every year on Ramsey's birthday the two couples go out for dinner. Over...
