* Standing Up , Standing Out *

Advantages: Great For Katie Fans!
Disadvantages: Seen A Lot Of It Before!

...or not , Standing Out is the fourth non fictional book from Katie. This book was released in the United Kingdom on 22nd October 2009. This book is a kind of autobiography , yet it is mainly based on fashion and Katie's looks and beauty/fashion tips. This book contains two hundred and eight pages and is available to buy from Amazon for £10. If I'm honest , when I first heard about this book , I thought it was going to be exactly what Victoria Beckham did ; a book with fashion tips. However , Katie's version is a little bit different as the book is mainly based on her views on how her fashion has changed and so on. However , I wouldn't really call this a style guide because it isnt' all about style. In this book , Katie rambles on about her life as well as fashion. She has tried to 'hand out' some useful tips , but most of them I already knew...

Review of Standing Out - Katie Price

Get your monitor standing upright!

Advantages: Reduces pain and uncomfortable veiwing positions
Disadvantages: none

...Hurray! My monitor arm has finally arrived from our computer suppliers! At last! ------------------------ Why did I buy it? ------------------------ I got my manager to buy me this monitor arm as I was experiencing sharp back pains due to using the computer all day long.

Base CHC

Advantages: excellent location, friendly staff
Disadvantages: tv room, internet facilities

...Two days after Christmas, I was shortly due in New Zealand on 30 December on a flight from Sydney, where no beds were available. I needed to book a hostel in Christchurch to ease my worrying mind. No problem. Booking online at basebackpackers.com was easy. I entered my MasterCard details at the secure payment section of the website and settled my fears. Everything you would expect to be there, is there. Just enter your arrival date, number of nights and which hostel (they have a network across Australia and New Zealand), then it's a simple choice of which type of room you would like. At base Christchurch I stayed in three different rooms, across two visits. The first was a 6-bed mixed dorm with no facilities (apart from a rattling window!), situated on the second floor next to the television room. The rooms are cleaned daily with bed...

A Hasbeen

Advantages: None anymore
Disadvantages: too bulky

...I have a Targus monitor stand, but it isn?t used for the purpose for which it was designed. This is no fault of the stand it is simply for one reason at least that I don?t really need it with my current monitor. I now use it as a little table for my printer and it serves this purpose very well, as indeed it did when it was used in its proper capacity. The unit is quite large when seen against comparable products, being that it stands roughly 6 inches high and has a top surface of roughly 1.5 ft by 1 ft. The two surfaces are separated by four peculiar looking feet. I use the word peculiar because; well they don?t really seem to fit in with any normal PC set up. I have considered them in various scenarios and they do still appear quite odd. This said they are the feet supplied with the unit and they do do a good...

Perfect Pizza Base

Advantages: cheap , tastes good
Disadvantages: sticky sticky sticky!

...I have a new found sense of domesticity lately and as a result I have been spending a lot of time cooking. I decided to make my own pizzas recently, and on a shopping trip to Somerfield I was on the lookout for some readymade pizza bases. They only had one brand stocked and these cost around £1.10 for two, so when I spotted the kits for making pizza dough at only 78p for two sachets, I decided to give those a go instead. ~What's included in the kit?~ The kits simply contain two sachets of dough mix, and each sachet is enough to make one 8" pizza base. ~What else do I need~ Ingredients wise, you only need to add warm water - or hand hot water to quote the box. What, exactly, qualifies as hand hot I don't know, so I just used water from the kettle that had been boiled and cooled down a bit. You will also need to have some...

Review of Somerfield Pizza Base Mix

A great Pizza Base Mix

Advantages: Easy, Great Product
Disadvantages: None

...Asda Pizza Base Mix: I love making fresh pizzas from scratch but to be honest I can't always be bothered and activating the yeast doesn't always work me so I thought I would try the Asda pizza base mix so I could whip up some fresh pizzas at a moments notice. The mixes are really cheap at only 55p for a box that contains enough mix for two 8" pizza bases. To make the mix is easy; simply pour the mix into the bowl, (there are two individual packets), add some water, mix, knead, shape and leave to rise. The whole process only takes about 15 minutes all told. I have to say that I prefer "thin and crispy" type pizzas so these make two 10-12" bases for me. The instructions are easy to follow but they are written a little small so you need to pick the box up to read it which isn't great if your hands are already covered in dough etc! So now...

Review of Asda Pizza Base Mix

Stand Down

Advantages: I can't honestly think of any
Disadvantages: It almost destroyed my love of the previous films in the series

...'s character is that he's buff. John Powell's score proves that familiarity breeds contempt, as he smothers every scene in orchestral motifs. The quality isn't bad; there are playful flutes and swinging strings for the opening flashback, brooding strings as things get dangerous, ethereal choruses and maudlin flutes for the sad bits and darker brass as things hot up. The problem is that Powell doesn't know when to stop and Ratner has clearly tried to use the music to beef up the emotional content of the scenes by making it very loud. "X-Men: The Last Stand" may be just that for this franchise, having comprehensively destroyed all the goodwill the rest of the franchise has created. It is a sloppy sequel that drops the ball in terms of story, direction, performances and effects. In fact it is so bad it actually made me angry, especially as this...

Review of X-Men - The Last Stand (DVD)

Stand 'buy' me

Advantages: An amazing film that should be owned by everyone
Disadvantages: None

...Stand by me is one of my all time favourite films. The film was released in 1986, and was released on DVD in 2000. ~The Story~ The story is narrated by Richard Dreyfuss, who appears at the end of the film. He is writing a book about a particular time in his childhood, sharing memories of his friends and the experiences they had growing up. The story is set in a small Oregon town in the year 1959, where we follow the story of Gordie (Wil Wheaton), a sensitive 12 year old boy, who feels invisible after the death of his older brother. His best friend Chris (River Phoenix), who is labelled a trouble maker because of his background, and his two other friends Teddy (Cory Feldman), also from a troubled background - people think he's crazy. And then there's Verne (Jerry O'Connell), slightly chubby and a bit of a scaredy...

Review of Stand By Me (DVD)

The stand you have to make

Advantages: catchy, intriguing, you won't put it down
Disadvantages: pretty depressive as somewhat realistic in parts

...Introduction Do you think the Evil can ever win the battle against the Good? I think I know the answer and this book only made my stand concrete-hard. The Good guys will always win, at least in books, that's why it's called fiction, isn't it? Of course, the way to victory is not always that easy, sometimes it's marked by more or less serious partial losses and casualties, but the end is the end. A happy end. That's why we have fiction, to let us know despite any kind of shit you are forced to go through, you'll be a victor (at least from the moral point, if nothing else) in the end. So very different from the real life, isn't it? I suppose that's why people read books...if books very just reflecting the reality, who'd bother, it's enough to watch the evening news to get an account of a few sad stories, if your own is not enough...

Review of The Stand - Stephen King

Stand up and be counted.

Advantages: A quirky interesting read.
Disadvantages: Dialogue rather flowery at first.

... A GIRL COULD STAND UP LESLIE MARSHALL I have just finished one of my recent library choices - 'A Girl Could Stand Up' by, Leslie Marshall. This was a very unusual, surreal book about an American dysfunctional, non-traditional family It is a book that creates a mixture of drama, mystery and fantasy all woven very well together. THE STORY On a sixth-birthday outing to Glen Echo, a local theme park, Elray Mayhew witnesses the bizarre death of her parents, Barkley and Jack - who were electrocuted in front of her during a boat trip through the Tunnel of Love. She is then brought up by her two radically different, completely undomesticated uncles -. her late father's brother - "Aunt" Ajax, a transvestite, and her mother's brother - Harwood a photographer and philanderer. This sound like...
