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...

Costner strikes lucky on the Open Range

Advantages: Greatactingsanddirecting
Disadvantages: Very long, simple plot

...The other night I put my feet up with a good bottle of wine and scoured my DVD collection for something I was in the mood for. A while back, I had seen 'Open Range' for sale in a Virgin outlet store for £2, and thought 'Why not?' Deciding I was in the mood for a Western, I popped it in the DVD player and sat back, wondering how long I would last before getting bored. Yet I was surprised to find myself, half an hour later, on the edge of my seat, following a good plotline and some brilliant acting. Brief Overview 'Open Range' is the tale of a group of free grazing cattle owners. It has Kevin Costner and Robert Duvall as the billing leads, with a host of recognisables in the support cast, including Annette Benning and Michael Gambon. The Plot Four free grazers, including Charley Waite (Costner) and Boss Spearman (Duvall), come...

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...

Extend your Range

Advantages: Easy to install and use
Disadvantages: no major disadvantages found

...Just before Christmas one of my customers rang me up with a problem which he hoped I could solve for him. A couple of months earlier I have installed a wireless network for him. His home office was in an extension to the main house and he had two computers on desks about ten feet apart. The network I installed was very simple, I replaced his existing ADSL modem with a Belkin Wireless G Router/Modem which I connected via CAT5 cable to the network port on his PC - the router/modem sat comfortably on a shelf next to his desk. I set up a Security Key for the network to ensure that no-one within range of the network would be able to access it without authorisation. I installed a Belkin USB Wireless G Network Adaptor into the second PC and set up the Network Security Key to enable unrestricted access for this PC. Network...

Canon PowerShot G10 review

Advantages: autofocus, big screen, face detection, 14,7 megapixel, image processor, image stabilisation
Disadvantages: chunky, not very stylish, not as portable as other cameras

...I recently bought one of these at an expensive price. I shall explain some features and my feedback to this item below. The 14.7-megapixel G10 replaces the PowerShot G9 at the top end of the clever compact space. It's a chunky beast of a camera, as you'll see in your pictures, but still smaller than a dSLR with comparable power and flexibity. The G-series are designed to be the back-up cameras you can keep in your pocket if you don't want to bust out the dSLR, and the G10 certainly packs a lot into its relatively compact frame. The G10 includes all the whistles, bells and accordions you'd expect: optical image stabilisation, face detection and various scene and colour modes. These include panorama stitch assist, portrait, landscape, and aquarium. The larger-than-most 1/1.7-inch sensor is teamed with Canon's new DIGIC 4 image...

Top-of-the-range, powerful and safe steam cleaning

Advantages: Top-of-the-range, efficient and safe
Disadvantages: Dried-on grease needs a helping hand

...Overall, an efficient and powerful steam cleaner, with excellent safety features and tools for every job. WHY I BOUGHT IT: After struggling with a heavy, cumbersome wet carpet cleaner, I still wasn't happy with the results. This particular model is top of the renowned Polti steam cleaner range and it promised to give a deep-clean performance on all carpets, soft furnishings, kitchen and bathroom surfaces etc etc. I was also attracted to the idea of deep cleaning without needing to use harsh cleaning products. Steam cleaning is much kinder to the environment as it only uses water. MY EXPERIENCE: THE PROS: I'm very happy with my purchase, most particularly with the in-built safety features which prevent scalding steam escaping accidentally from the machine. The steam builds up inside the body of the machine to a very...

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...

Review of Davina McCall - The Power Of 3 (DVD)

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...

The Chanel Range

Advantages: Original colour palettes
Disadvantages: Cost

...pretty? Complete waste of time and effort if you ask me!! Now come to the makeup and i think theres none better. Theres such a range of colours and shades, fantastic limited edition colours. The foundations are well made, in a large range of shades, and have staying power. My favourite mascara is the Extreme Cils in Noir. It goes on well and stays on your lashes until i take it off. This costs £16 The eyeshadows are my gorgeous, they do single shadows that are not cheap at £14.50 and £17.50 respectively, depending on the finish. The eye palletes are called LES 4 OMBRES DE CHANEL. All shadows can be used either wet or dry for a more intense finish. I also love the lipsticks. Although i love the INFAROUGE WHISPERLIGHT LIPSTICKS, they are too sheer on me and i have to reapply it on a regular basis. My favourite shade is...
