Apple USB Power Adapter

Advantages: Looks, High build quality
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Fed up of using a USB cable to connect my ipod touch to my laptop and draining all its battery, I decided to invest in an USB power adapter. Being pretty naive at the time of purchase, I thought I had to use an apple one, so unfortunately paid £20! Looking back on it, this was the craziest purchase I have ever made, because it didn't take me long to realise, I could get the for a few pounds on the internet, with postage costing more than the adapter itself. However, that was a couple of years ago, and I have since come to realise that the £20 I forked out wasn't as bad as first seemed. The power adapter itself comprises of 2 parts which interlock together; a power pack that UK 3 pin plug slides and locks into. When put together, the plug is quite bulky, and will stick out about 4 inches from the plug - probably the biggest plug I own...

USB Power-ed up Adapter

Advantages: Compact and Portability
Disadvantages: Price

...This USB Power Adapter is a must accessory to have if you have any kinds of iPods. As you would know, when you buy an iPod, you will only receive the iPod itself and the link cable. This means the only way you can charge the iPod is through the computer. However, this is disadvantage for many reasons since you would need to make sure the computer is on when charging. Because its USB charged, it takes quite a long time to charge it to full. This USB Power Adapter deals with all of the charging problems and many others. The size of the power adapter is very compact, with its dimension of 4cm by 4cm (estimate and could be different when bought from different country). It is also not so heavy for portable use. Also, you can change the adapter itself to European, Asian or wherever with great convenience. All you have to do is slide it...

Power of a Woman

Advantages: Great tracks, harmonies
Disadvantages: None

...Eternal - Power of a Woman One of my favourite girl bands from old were Eternal (this is probably showing my age a bit but oh well). They were popular before The Spice Girls, Girls Aloud etc and I think one of the reasons why they were successful was because they could actually sing and had some lovely harmonies, with beautiful voices that all worked well together. They were also all very pretty as well so I'm sure this added to their success. Eternal were formed in 1992 and eventually ceased as a band around the year 2000. The group consisted of four members, Easther and Vernie Bennett who were sisters, Kelle Bryan and Louise Nurding. Louise Nurding is now probably the most famous of the quartet as she was fairly successful as a solo artist and went on to marry the footballer Jaime Rednapp. She still does some television work as...

The Power of 3 compells you!

Advantages: Works the whole body, fun, well instructed,
Disadvantages: Only if you don't like Davina, legs section is HARD!

...In my recent quest to lose weight and get fitter I've become something of a workout DVD addict! I've now worked my way through all of Davina's output, sampled Charlie Brooks and now moving onto Nell McAndrew (only for the brave!) But Davina's are so far my favourite, with her Super Body Workout topping my list, but the Power of 3 coming a close second. The Power of 3 was Davina's first DVD and is just over an hour long, moving through 3 different sections - legs, arms, and abs. It uses interval training to get the heart rate up before performing different exercises intended to tone up the muscles and lose the flab. If you've used the Super Sculpt on Super Body you'll be familiar with interval training and for me, this is a great way to work out as I hate being too out of breath. Leading Davina (and you!) through the workout are Jackie...

Jukebox - Cat Power

Advantages: Smooth,sexy, husky vocals whisper breathing new life into old classics.Has a live concert feel.
Disadvantages: I hate cover albums but I LOVE this one.Reserve your judgement.

...If anyone can breath new life and cool into covering songs its Chan Marshall of Cat Power! Jukebox, released in 2008 came with a sigh of relief from fans who had been waiting 8 years for the artist to re-immerge with something else to add to the collections. I dont think they were dissapointed. As a rule I dislike cover albums but this one is just as good as her old The Covers Record (2000) and really shows off her maturity and experience in the field. I like her ode to memphis blues The Greatist but this really gives us something fresh to tackle and in terms of listenability it is much fatter and more diverse making it 10 times more playable than The Greatest. This album was recorded with her touring band The Dirty Delta Blues Band and I think this is what gives this album its live/session feel. Ok so for those...

Flash Power Mop powers through!!

Advantages: Qucik, easy, not messy
Disadvantages: A little expensive for the refills

...I tease him about it but my husband is an absolute clean freak and we can never leave sainburys without purchasing at least one cleaning product so it came as no surpirse that he came back with the Flash Power mop a few months back. The Flash power mop consists of three elements, the mop itself, the flash liquid which comes in a bottle and the flash cleaning pads. You can buy an initial starter pack with all those products in for about £19.99. The mop portion then lasts forever, you can then buy the flash liquid and the pads separately. The pads cost approximately £3 for 6 refills and a 1 litre bottle of liquid costs the same. We have ceramic floors in our kitchen and all of our bathrooms so this mop is really great. You can also use it on wood and laminate floors, kitchen tiles and linoleum. The mop offers a number of different...

Raw Power

Advantages: Rock, Roll and Revel in Cat Power's stunning vocals
Disadvantages: The last track is oh so poorly recorded

...Cat Power, or more correctly: Chan Mashall, harkens from Atlanta Georgia and it doesn?t take more than the very first moments of Myra Lee to recognise that she could come from no where else other than one of the southern states of the USofA. The album sounds pretty lo-fi, not tinny or flat but it appears that it was recorded almost entirely in a rehearsal space in New York. No fancy recording studio. The effect works to the benefit of the listener. The opening track, Enough, slowly builds in volume and you feel like you could easily be in some subterranean venue, listening to some late night rock and roll. Because just who is Cat Power and what is her music? Only within the last few weeks have I discovered Cat Power and I now have three of her albums. All good. Myra Lee is my favourite. It?s raw. But it?s somehow...

I've got the power

Advantages: clear natural looking pictures
Disadvantages: not pocket size

...Canon PowerShot A550 I have had my digital camera for about three months now, it was bought as a present for me and costs around £100 - £80 depending on where you buy it, on Amazon you can pay £74 now, so the prices vary. Compared to other digital camera prices this is quite reasonable as cameras are getting more popular the prices are coming down all the time. The camera is a silver colour and has a thicker end on the right for easy grip. Although it is a light weight camera it isn?t small enough to fit in your pocket, but comes with a small leather camera case. It takes two AA batteries for the flash and these will take about 140 shots It also comes with a 16mb memory card and is a 7.1 mega pixel which is quite good for taking clear pictures. The pictures it takes are clear and sharp, the colours look natural and the inside...

Power at you fingertips

Advantages: quick & easy to use
Disadvantages: more expensive than soap & water

...The flash power mop, don?t you think that is an impressive name? You read a name like that and think, ?Wow! POWER mop, ooohhh? or maybe that?s just me? Let?s cut to the chase and get into the details. *The Mop* The flash power mop is lightweight and very easy to use. Once put together it stands around 4ft in height and is a patchwork of green and purple. There are 2 handles, one green one on the top of the mop and a second cushioned purple one about 6inces below; the top handle also incorporates a purple button that you use to dispense the cleaning fluid. Moving on down the pole, around 2ft from the second handle you run into the holder for the cleaning fluid; this is bright green in colour to match the top handle and is shaped like a funnel. Incorporated in this is also the battery compartment for the motor which powers...

The Power of Pen

Advantages: A real page turner!
Disadvantages: Why does a book this good have to end?!

...When I finished The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay I debated whether or not to write a review on it because I am really not sure whether I can do it justice. It is one of the best books I have ever read - a treasure that you pick up and don't want to put down. But, at the same time, with every page you read you are aware that you are getting closer and closer to the end - which brings with it the disappointment that the days of reading it are numbered. The Power of One is the story of a young boy growing up in South Africa, his early years set against the backdrop of the Second World War. The story starts when he is five years old and is taken away from his Zulu nanny and sent off to the nearest boarding school because his mother is suffering from a nervous breakdown. As the only Rooinek (English person) in the pro-Nazi Afrikaans...
