SD Transflash Adapter/Memory Card

Advantages: Can be used in most electronic equipment
Disadvantages: Very small so can be lost easily

... Overview I first bought this SD card for storage on my mobile phone. I hadn't ever used a transflash adapter before and I did have to do a bit of research to find out what the two parts were for. Basically, the smaller part (see picture) can be put into phones and other small electrical products and can store up to 128MB worth of data (or more if you buy a card with a greater capacity). The beauty of the transflash adapter however, is the fact that the little memory card can be put into the larger adapter and then used on larger electrical equipment such as a computer or a PS3. Advantages This gives many advantages. The small memory card can be permanently placed inside the adapter and used for storage as you would with a USB memory stick. You could also transfer photos/music/videos from your computer/PS3 to...

Brilliant Bread Every Time - Panasonic SD 254

Advantages: The best bread you will ever taste, on a timer just ready in time for breakfast.
Disadvantages: If you can't wait since it smells so good... you might burn your fingers like me!

...This Panasonic SD 254 bread maker was a spur-of-the-moment impulse buy from Macro when it was on special offer about a year ago, for £50. My mother needs to eat a gluten-free diet which means she cannot eat regular bread but with this machine she has been able to create loaves both from a gluten-free bread book and also just herself from the skill she has honed with this machine. I have tried both the shop bought and homemade wheat-free bread and there is no comparison, hands down the Panasonic SD 254 wins. When purchased the box was extremely heavy as this machine contains a lot of mixing equipment which has been cast in metal to make it will last under the pressure of mixing thick dough. Protected by polystyrene box inserts the machine came along with a small measuring cup, spoon and the usual user's guide as well as a warranty card...

A Classic Memory...

Advantages: Sound Quality, The Features...
Disadvantages: The Podcast Feature Is A Little Useless...

... iPod Classic 160 GB iPods , the most amazing gadgets of all time. Who would have ever beleived that such a small mod con could hold so much memory and so much to explore. The family of iPod'swhich include the smaller yet impressive iPod Shuffle which runs on flash memory , the even more interesting iPod Nano which includes a video screen which holds 8 GB memory models , and it this just gets better because the next iPod in the family is the absolutely amazing iPod Classic which can even hols up to an impressive 160 GB of memory which is just unbelievable for an almost palm sized mp3 player, you just have to agree these are just so amazing. I bought my iPod from my cousin for a very good price of £150.00 , considering they are around £250 if you purchase them in a shop or online... The penultimate iPod in the family...

Thanks for the memories

Advantages: A good read with excellent characters.
Disadvantages: Cannot think of any.

...to give a lecture to. He is also trying to impress her. After the blood transfusion, Joyce begins to experience deja vu everytime she sees Justin. It is as if she knows him, and she starts to experience some of his memories. The story is quite far fetched, that somebody can receive a pint of somebody's blood and know all about their memories, but the author has done it in such a way that you don't feel that it is far fetched, or fantasy in any way. What I loved about the story were some of the characters. Joyce's dad is a complete character, and I wouldn't mind seeing this story in film just to see this character alone. He gives the impression that he is old and daft, but he is more together than you think. Also, Justin's sister-in-law, Doris, is an American who wears leopardskin everything (even leopardskin nailpolish) - I...

Review of Thanks for the Memories - Cecelia Ahern

Memories

Advantages: Classics, original, music from the Stones Hayday
Disadvantages: Too old for some

...tell you how it's gonna be, We're gonna have Lamb Chops for tea. It's strange what stays with you over the years isn't it? The next dozen or so tracks moved on a little in time but still remained in the 1960's. Many of these tracks such as Satisfaction, The Last Time and Paint it Black I had bought out of my pocket money as 45 singles. You know the old, small vinyl records. In fact I still have most of these but they are well worn, a little jumpy and mostly mono so the quality is a little raw. It was good to here these tracks in pristine fashion although the more earthy sound seems more authentic. The final tracks move on to the late sixties and into the 1970's. Unless my aged memory is playing tricks on me I think that is as far as we move in time with this CD. This suits me as I feel that The Rolling Stones were at their peak...

Be Amazed at A Maze of Memories

Advantages: Great staff and stock
Disadvantages: Desire to spend too much money!

...As some of you will know I am a keen Scrapbooker and spend much of my free time on this craft ( when I am not on Dooyoo or Ciao!). There are lots of online craft suppliers but there are relatively few craft shops that you are able to actually visit. I am very lucky to have an absolute gem almost on my doorstep so I thought I would tell everyone about it and there maybe some crafters amongst you that would be able to pay it a visit--you would not regret it (although your bank balance might!) Location A Maze of Memories is set just outside Long Crendon on the Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire border.It is easily accesible from Bicester and Aylesbury. It is in a unit on Woodway farm. This means that the parking is easy and free and you can watch sheep in the fields out of the window whilst waiting for creative inspiration...

Review of A Maze Of Memories, Buckinghamshire

Thanks for the memory

Advantages: The value of these completed books is priceless
Disadvantages: None

...How much do you know about your grandparents' lives, what was your Mum and Dad's childhood like ? If the answer is 'not a lot' or 'don't know' this can all be easily rectified with this incredible little journal. This is a 156 pages spiral bound book - Grandparents' Memories. The pages ask questions, have charming illustrations and have blank pages waiting for you to make your mark on history. These books were created and designed by Julie Pinnell, mum of 2. Julie had the idea after losing all her grandparents by her teens. Her first book was handwritten by her parents for her family; the idea was so popular that Julie created Priceless Treasures Ltd to market the books. These books are so easy to fill in and are a pleasure to read afterwards; they make a fantastic present either for the grandparents to complete...

Review of Grandparents' Memories (Journal) - Julie Pinnell

A haunting memorial

Advantages: Memorable, historical, free
Disadvantages: None

...Continuing the reviews of my recent trip to Washington, this review is about the Korean War Memorial. I think that if you go to Washington and only see one memorial (there are a lot!) then this should be the one that you see?..and here's why. SOME HISTORY The Korean War lasted from 1950-1953. It is not a war that gets talked about a lot, mainly because everyone concentrates on the Second World War which had only been over for five years and the Vietnam War. The War broke out when the Communist regime of North Korea invaded South Korea. The USA was afraid of the spread of Communism and so decided to fight to defend South Korea. Over 54,000 American troops were killed in the three year war (and a lot more UN troops as well). The Memorial itself was originally planned in 1986 but as with everything the realisation took...

Shadow of Memories

Advantages: Great premise, well developed characters, multiple plot paths.
Disadvantages: Easy solutions, unwarranted repitition.

...Eike Kusch has just died. Murdered while strolling through the German town of Lebensbaum, he shall never know the motive behind the murder. Or at least he shouldn't, but he awakens in a bizarre, inter-dimensional realm where a disembodied voice offers him the chance to go back in time and prevent his death. Despite initial misgivings about the intentions of his mysterious saviour, who admits a vested interest in Eike's survival, he accepts and wakes up in a coffee shop with a time travel device, half an hour before he is destined to die. The race is on. And what follows as he puts off the first attempt on his life, manipulating the past to secure his future, makes up the first of ten chapters in Konami's 2001 PS2 adventure game, Shadow of Memories (Shadow of Destiny in the US). This chapter sets a general template for the game: after...

Review of Shadow of Memories (PS2)

School memories

Advantages: n/a
Disadvantages: n/a

...It is my 200th review on here and I wanted to do something a little bit different. As I haven't written a Ciao Café review for some time I thought that it would be a nice change. This topic caught my eye seeing as I am now almost qualified as a teacher and wanted to reflect back on my own school experience! So, the following are a selection of my ten best school memories. The last one isn't so much a best memory rather than an embarrassingly funny one. The frog skeleton My year one teacher was a lovely lady named Mrs Keavney. She was very into wildlife and therefore many of our lessons would end up outside in the schools wildlife area or investigating nature in some way. She was keen on us to bring things in to show the rest of the class, so I was delighted when one day we discovered a perfect frog skeleton in my greenhouse...
