Keys The Superwoman

Advantages: Lots of diversity
Disadvantages: A couple of weaker tracks

...In 2007 the bluesy R&B singer Alicia Keys released her third album ?As I Am?, once again showing how unconventional methods can be input into the R&B world and still come up with great successes by combing her classical training with the mainstream sounds. 1. ?As I Am? (Intro) 2. ?Go Ahead? To get things underway, you have a track which has her combining quite a few of her various musical influences as you here clear indications of how the Jazz and Blues sides of her have come into play to get her through this song. The production is fly and engaging to bring you into the album and get you ready for what is to come. **Four Stars** 3. ?Superwoman? This was one of the significant t tunes to come off the album and it sees her doing a kind of track which we would recognise from her earlier works, especially from her debut cut, as in...

Review of As I Am - Alicia Keys

A broken key is a dangerous weapon

Advantages: Great story and a blistering connection between Ladd and Lake
Disadvantages: If you like crime and Film Noir none at all

...The Glass Key is a hard boiled film noir from 1942 and is based upon a novel by the master of detective fiction? Dashiell Hammett. It tells the story of Paul Madvig (Brian Donlevy) a corrupt and quick to resort to his fists politician who, upon meeting a beautiful young woman, Janet Henry (Veronica Lake) decides that he is going to change his ways and shut down crime in his city. With the aid of his best friend Ed Beaumont (Alan Ladd) Madvig sets about aligning himself and his supporters with Janet?s father, Taylor, and his reform party, much to the dislike of his old ?friends?, especially one Nick Varna. When Harvey?s son, and Janet?s brother, is murdered suspicion immediately falls on Madvig. A prior argument about his relationship with Opal, Paul?s sister, being the main piece of evidence. When everyone except Ed seems to...

Review of The Glass Key (DVD)

* More security - less keys! . .

Advantages: Just the one key.
Disadvantages: Not really.

...This type of "Keyed alike" padlock is very useful, especially where you need two or three locks, having just the one key makes life that bit easier. Just remember that the inside of the padlock is steel, so it requires oil now and then - The size of keys may be important to you, these are a lot smaller than those provided with conventional locks, also they are very cheap nowadays - They do provide a visible deterrent, especially if they are a good sized chunk of shiny metal. I fitted a row of three of these on the in-laws shed, these particular locks were made by Legge, although there are hundreds of different manufacturers.The shed looks like Fort Knox, it looks very secure indeed, although in reality, all the locks are fixed to the same piece of flimsy wood. Being practical, it is an easy job to undo all three locks...

Review of Keyed Alike Padlock

The Skeleton Key .

Review of The Skeleton Key (DVD)

Where's The Key?

Advantages: Fun rhyming book with a familiar character
Disadvantages: None

...***The Background*** Jez Alborough is one of my favourite children's authors and illustrators. He has written lots of lovely books and this is another one in the Duck series of rhyming delights. ***The Story*** The little rhyme on the back of the book goes like this, "Duck has lost his silver key. I wonder where the key can be? Lift the flaps - take a peek, Frog is playing hide and seek." The story starts with Duck standing beside his car with a suitcase saying that he has lost his keys. Behind a flap there is a little green frog holding the keys saying, 'Don't tell Duck!' Duck then goes on to look everywhere for the keys and frog hides behind various flaps ranging from a doormat to the trunk of the truck but frog always manages to stay one step ahead of him. Finally Duck looks in the drivers seat and sees...

Review of Duck's Key - Jez Alborough

Marian Keyes always at her best.

Advantages: Easy to read.
Disadvantages: Lola's diary takes a while to get used to.

...It's been a few since reading a Marian Keyes novel. A few years back I was given Last Chance Saloon and from then on I was a fan and read every book available by her. Although the last few years I lost touch until I was borrowed "This Charming Man" from a colleague. The colleague a Miriam Keyes fan and avid reader, told me she found it forgettable and another friend gave up on it. So I started reading the booking with a negative attitude. But I was so wrong and pleasantly surprised. The story starts: Paddy de Courcey to marry!!! Except Paddy isn't marrying his girlfriend, Lola. And all is not as it seems! Lola: Paddy's girlfriend (or was!), a successful stylist who finds out her boyfriend Paddy, a ambitious politician, who will do whatever it takes for his career is getting married, but not to her! Lola, who is totally...

Review of This Charming Man - Marian Keyes

Keep this one in the cupboard and throw away the key..

Advantages: Kates bottom
Disadvantages: Cliche

...So, how come the beautiful daughter of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn is called Kate Hudson? The bigger mystery is why such a young talked up actress is already doing predictable horror movies that effectively being shown the backdoor in Hollywood terms as far as her A-List status goes. Although Radio Fives no-all film critic Mark Kermode nicknames her Kate Hatstand, in respect to her rather wooden acting skills on stage, the horror genre the perfect place to exercise her furniture removal skills. The Skeleton Key is by-the-numbers stuff, the presence of the likes of Peter Sarsgaard, Gena Rowlands and ?luvey? John Hurt giving it enough clout so mugs like me tape it, Hurt on board this particularly project to probably pay off his tax bill or something rather than add to his illustrious CV. The older established actors tend to only get...

Keys to chew on....

Advantages: light, fun
Disadvantages: none!

...I am terrible at stopping myself from buying baby toys, I just can't resist them. I try my best to not even go to the baby section of shops now as I know I will come away with at least one item to spoil Baby Hope with. This week though it was an exception. A year ago this week I was told I was having a miscarriage only to find out it wasn't afterall but since then we have been so grateful for baby Hope, we felt as though we were living on borrowed time until she finally arrived and so with the anniversary of this horrible day my husband and I decided to celebrate the fact that Hope turned out okay so bought several toys for Hope and a bottle of wine for ourselves. One of the toys we bought her were these teething keys. We saw them in the baby aisle in Sainsbury's and thought they looked bright and colourful, they caught our eye so...

Review of Tommee Tippee Teething Keys (Middle Teeth)

keys!!

Advantages: soothes pain
Disadvantages: dont know any

...When my son was first teething he used to cry a lot and was in pain. I bought him a teething key ring because he used to bite and put everything into his mouth. I found this teething key ring in a toy shop and thought it might come very handy to me. When I gave it too him, straight away it went into his mouth and it kind of stopped him from crying because he was too busy chewy and playing with the key ring. When a baby is toddler is teething, it can be a very stressful time especially when it can go on for hours. That is why I love this toy the Bruin soft teething key ring is very useful in many ways. The benefits of having one for your child is that they chew it play with it as a toy and you can turn it into a rattle when they are crying. What does a teething key ring do? Well what it did for my son was, it really...

Review of Bruin Soft Teething Key Ring

The key to Soothing Teething Pain.

Advantages: Toy and teething aid all in one.
Disadvantages: None I can think of!

.... There are a few different teething aids on the market that are suited for different stages of teething; after having a look at what was available I decided to purchase the Tommee Tippee Icy Bites which are suitable for stage two teething babies. Stage two is when the front teeth are just starting to show through the surface of the gums. Tommee Tippee is a well known trusted baby manufacturer and I have bought many products from their range and have been happy with the quality and they are always affordable too. Unlike other teething aids that are usually filled with water the keys are filled with Pur ICE which stays cooler for longer and it is also non toxic. I would say these are much better than using teething gels that are messy, as all babies want to do when they are teething is bite and gnaw on things, and these bring instant...
