Maine Coon Cats -the Gentle Giant

Advantages: Amazing cats with so much love
Disadvantages: you will want to buy them all!

...Maine Coon -the "gentle giant" We, as a family have just proudly added a new member to our family -by the name of Weetabix. Weetabix is a beautiful brown tortie Maine coon cat with tiger stripe grey and white legs and paws. We received her last Saturday when she was 13 weeks old, and she has fit into our family so well. She is a really friendly cat, and gets on great with our three year old son. Her favourite past time is to climb all over me and sleep on me -so I am now an official climbing frame/ cat bed!! Maine Coons are a gorgeous breed of cat - I have done a lot of reading about them, and I wanted to share it with you, as I would recommend this breed of cat for any family! She is, without a doubt, the most gorgeous, friendly cat I have ever met. These cats are one of the largest breeds of the domestic cat. They are...

A Thrilling, Inspirational Piece - Main Source's Breaking Atoms

Advantages: Groundbreaking, great concept songs; responsible for Nas' birth in hip hop
Disadvantages: A tad bit on the overrated side; does not age well

...Main Source was a hip hop super-group from the Great White North (Toronto, Canada) composed of Sir Scratch, K-Cut, and Large Professor. The majority of folks reading that will probably think "who?" to the first two, but instantly recognize Large Professor as one of the top producers in hip hop, crafting classic material with the likes of Nas, Mobb Deep, Common, and Cormega. Sir Scratch faded into obscurity but K-Cut actually went on to work with Big Punisher, Queen Latifah, and the greatest rapper of all time: Shaq. Still, there's no denying LP was the star. Ever since I got into this once-beautiful blend of music and poetry known as hip-hop, long time heads have always pushed to me that Main Source's Breaking Atoms, released in 1991, is an unarguable classic album and should be ranked in the top 20 or perhaps even top 10 to some, which...

Review of Breaking Atoms - Main Source

State and Main can Stay

Advantages: classy, intelligent film, excellent cast
Disadvantages: few dvd extras, Rebecca Pidgeon

...obsessive wife, who completely redecorate their home in honour of their town's guests, and some of the best lines are almost thrown away in little asides between 'extras' after the main characters have left the scene. There's also a secondary story line involving a camera man's efforts to get the shot he wants without an old stained glass window getting in the way. ********Availability/Price This film is old enough to be cheap as chips. It's £6.97 from Amazon but they also have it 'new and used' from £1.95, which is cheaper than a rental. It's £6.99 at play.com. ********Overall If you liked Grosse Pointe Blank, Heist, Fargo and the Tao of Steve, you'll probably like this, although if I put those 5 films in a list, this would probably come below Heist and Fargo, and hence I'd give it 4 stars. My favourite line comes from a scene where...

gently does it..tom's of main natural deodrant

Advantages: gentle, soothing, improved condition of underarms
Disadvantages: can feel waxy and greasy when first applied. better as a winter deodrant

...one year ago i was considering medical grade dermabrasion under my arms i no longer have to since switching to natural deodrants and regular exfoliation. Tom's of Maine as the name suggests originates from Maine, USA and have a whole line of natural products such as mouth wash, toothpaste shampoo;s & body washes/soaps. Not a bad buy even if you have normal skin and doesn't react to deodrants... why poison yourself with chemicals when you can be naturally fresh and clean?? I bought mine for under 4 pounds at waitrose, its very hard to find this brand in the UK, but have a lookin small private health shops, online etc....

Review of Tom's of Maine Natural Deodorant Stick

Midland main line

Advantages: Cheap and relaxing
Disadvantages: comfort of the new rolling stock

...but anywhere) well in advance can save you lots of money. Links www.midlandmainline.com Overall account. Overall I find midland mainline to be a very reliable and pleasant experience, I however am not found of the new ?production line esc? meridian trains and prefer the more relaxing and combatable HST?s. I would advise travellers to buy any food or drinkable good prior to departure as this will save you money if you were intending to eat or drink using the on board facilities. Although this route is not as fast as the east or west coast main lines it does offer excellant value for money and if your are ok for the train to take an extra hour to london compaired to the the other routes this line can and will save you money!!...

Maine Coon cat

Advantages: Beautiful soft fur, big deeply affectionate and devoted
Disadvantages: May need more dental care as they grow older (special maine coon food prevents this)

...We own a young speyed maine coon female. The breed is deeply loving and affectionate, especially in our girl's case with children. She follows the boys everywhere and plays with their soldiers and marbles. The fur is long and silky but seems to tangle and matt significantly less than a persian or ragdoll so needs little care although I prefer to brush once a week or so to reduce shedding (and for a cuddle). She does appreciate the odd bath (which we do in the bath itself) and is placid enough that even at this young age she will take her feet off the bottom and float cradled in your hands. I am more used to scruffing burmese than "Marina" the floating maine coon! Initally shy, the breed become devoted house pets, following their preferred owner around, and quite distinct from other cats aurally in terms of their call which is...

Review of Maine Coon

Maine coon cats.

Advantages: Loveable,loyal,friendly,a pleasure to have.
Disadvantages: Thick dense fur needs brushing .

...I bought my maine coon about 18 years ago from a south-west breeder for £500 which was an awful ot of money then. I visited the breeder quite a few times before deciding which of her cats to buy. The breeder came to my home to inspect that I had the right home for the cat. She was quite strict about who could have one of her cats she wouldn't let just anyone buy one. She also told me I would not be allowed to breed from the cat but I wanted a cat to love not to make money from. I eventually bought my cat and his name is Lacoon Harvester (this is his pedigree name) but I call him Harvey.As I said I bought him about 18 years ago and he is still with me. He has a gorgeous thick black and brown almost gingerlike colour to his fur. Harvey loves to sit out in the rain getting wet, when I try to get him in he just runs away. When I...

The Mysteries of Midland Main Line

Advantages: helpful staff, generally clean reliable service
Disadvantages: expensive complicated ticket pricing

...Having moved house but not job I have, until recently, been a long distance commuter between Leicester and London (St Pancras). So, for my sins, I have become quite well acquainted with the Midland MainLine train services. Despite being an avid who-dunnit fan there are a number of mysteries I have yet to solve about their services. Mystery of the Twin Trains Midland Mainline cover a large part of the country from Leeds (and recently Manchester) Sheffield through Nottingham Derby and Leicester and the smaller intermediate towns to Luton and London (St Pancras). Leicester has a very frequent service of 4 trains an hour but for some mysterious reason the trains need company and run in two batches (one slow and one fast service departing within 5 minutes of each other) with an half hour wait till the next service. The main result...

Review of Midland Main Line

Frankfurt am Main restaurants not expensive

Advantages: "Restaurants: unhurried, relaxing, inexpensive, historical, even medievial" .... "Where?" ... "In Frankfurt am Main." .... "Never ! who do you take me for, save your stupid jokes for someone else !"
Disadvantages: "Are you kidding? This can`t be !... Frankfurt is a financial center, trade fare, traffic focus, airport and business place. Nix da medievial !! "

...Frankfurt am Main (660.000 inhabitants) is not known for being a definite tourist attraction like Vienna or Munich. Frankfurt is often regarded in Germany only as a business centre and transit focus. It could be more for the visitior: e.g. modern playful architecture, history, museums, art, festivals and cultural events. The "expensive" reputation of Frankfurt one can get just on first sight. Because of the big events with thousands of people attending like "Museums-Ufer-Fest" with a 0,2 l coke costing more than 3.00 Euro. But there we won't go ... Restaurants in Frankfurt are mostly quite good in value. Such as: TIERRA VERDE (appendix 6, right picture) Ambience of the restaurant / surrounding environment: Situated in the popular (weekend / after work) shopping mile of the Berger Straße...

Review of Frankfurt/Main (Germany)

A wicked product!!!!

Advantages: Makes you feel like you have done some exercise and is easy to use
Disadvantages: Takes you a while to unlock all the games-no actually it takes you ages!

...Wii Fit takes the whole concept of games as exercise to a new level. It's a decent alternative for those bored with the repetitiveness of going to a gym or too self-conscious to join a yoga or aerobics class. It tracks your progress and gives you fitness tips along the way. The board looks sleak and slylish and can hold up to 322lbs (about) and can be used bay all ages as it is very easy to use. The downside to it is the fact that you have to unlock most of the games yourself and you can't make your own fitness regime. It is a fantastic product and you feel like you have been doing exercise. It is FAR better having a go on this than sitting watching TB with a bag od crisps :). I got my Wii fit about a month ago and absolutly love it! A fabulous product & would recomend it to everyone! -xXx-...
