Deadly Passion

Advantages: Magnificent vocals, great guitar power.
Disadvantages: Instrumentally unexciting and unadventurous.

...'Deadly Passions' is the second studio album from the Kentucky based rock band that is Hydrogyn. The band was formed in 2003 and as well as having released two studio albums the band has released a live album also. The band is fronted by Julie Westlake and it's therefore her vocal tone which hits you throughout this album; she has a great voice and puts an awful lot of power behind it in order to belt out the ten tracks of this album. The guitar riffs also possess great strength and although not hugely exciting; the instrumental side of things is still quite pleasant to listen to here. The album gets off to an explosive beginning with opening number 'Rejection', the track possesses a fast tempo and really kicks the album off with great power. Hyrogyn here storms through the track and executes it absolutely excellently. The vocals...

Purple Passion

Advantages: Leaves clothes smelling lovley
Disadvantages: None

...Recently I haven?t been using conditioner in many loads of washing as the fragrance from the washing liquid has been adequate but as I?d bought a different product I have been using my Conditioner again and the result has been worth the extra cost. My Conditioner is the concentrate variety and therefore it saves space as the 750ml bottle will last for 21 washes. The bottle can be recycled. The bottle is clear plastic with a purple lid, which reminds me of a hat as it has a rounded inside and a turn-up brim! The inside provides the measuring cup for the exact amount needed, depending on the amount of washing or if doing hand washing. There is a picture of delicate passion flowers and tiny ylang ylang flowers on the bottle. The liquid is a lovely lilac colour and the fragrance is absolutely beautiful. The passion flower and ylang...

A passionate book!

Advantages: great read
Disadvantages: the story is set out in a strange way

...Strange Fits of Passion is the first book I have read by Anita Shreve, even though she is an author who has been around for quite a long time. When I first started reading this book I wasn't sure that I liked the style and I didn't think I was going to enjoy it! How wrong could I be? It is a fabulous book with a very strong story which I found both riveting and absorbing! Thr story is written in quite an unusual way and I think this did give me problems at the start. It begins in what is the present day, although as the book was written in 1992, that is actually quite a while ago. It begins with an autor talking about how she writes her books, and I wasn't sure if this was part of the story, or Anita Shreve giving some kind of introduction! It was part of the story and the author is meeting with a young girl who's mother she wrote...

Review of Strange Fits of Passion - Anita Shreve

The Passion of the Christ

Advantages: Good Acting,
Disadvantages: Quite Barbaric In Places

...The Passion of the Christ released in 2004 and directed by Mel Gibson is a film that I have only recently seen for the first time. At the time of its release I made a conscious decision to avoid watching this film due to the huge amount of hype that surrounded it. Having now watched this film I am left with a mixture of different thoughts and feelings. I am not a religious person and this is also another reason why I probably did not rush out to the Cinema on the release of this film. I also had even less interest in rushing out to see it when I discovered that not only were there no big name Hollywood Actors amongst the cast but that all of the dialogue was spoken in a mixture of Latin and Aramaic, with English subtitles displayed across the screen. The entire script for this film is taken from chapters 14 and 15 of Mark's Gospel...

Review of The Passion Of The Christ (Subtitled) (DVD)

A Cinderella Story

Advantages: it's an interesting and well written book
Disadvantages: none

...Kim Woodburn is best known these days as being the tall bossy one of the pair of ladies on the TV show "How Clean is Your House?" I really enjoy watching this programme (how do people live like that?). Unfortunately when it's over I always get this subliminal urge to go and clean my kitchen! I had heard about this book and even thought about buying it, but when I found it in my local library I had to bring it home and read it. It didn't disappoint. The subtitle of the book "The story of my Brutal Childhood" kind of gives the game away as regards the story. Kim was bought up by her violent mother as her father was away in the Royal Marines much of the time. She was their second child, and second daughter, and was made to feel that she had disappointed from the start by not being a boy. Her mother took up with her father...

Review of Unbeaten: The Story of My Brutal Childhood - Kim Woodburn

Jesus' passion - my passion for Jesus.

Advantages: The simple fact that it's about Jesus.
Disadvantages: The sheer scale of blood and vivid scenes.

...The night before last I was on my way to the local Indian to get a takeaway. I had no plans to get anything else. But, as I have to walk past Blockbusters, I noticed that this film, The Passion Of The Christ, is now out on DVD. So, I bought it. The funny thing is, the man who served me said, "You do realise this is subtitled?". "Er, yes, that's one of the reasons I'm buying it!" was my reply. I hadn't seen it in the cinema and was a slightly unsure of what to expect. Yes, I'd seen all the hype in the news and media at the time. But, until you've seen the film, you'll be left wondering what all the hype was about. Yesterday I decided to watch it. I must admit, I was slightly nervous whilst placing the DVD gently into my Alba DVD player. I'd seen clips of it on telly, and had an idea what to expect. As I said earlier...

A Passion For Words

Advantages: n/a
Disadvantages: n/a

...Hello All! I?m still working hard on my 200th op, which I plan on posting soon; for my 199th op, I decided to do something different than a film review. What you are all about to read is a piece of creative nonfiction (or short story, if you will), which I had composed last year. It is based on actual incidents which my father Stephen recounted to me just before he died in August of 2003; he was an English teacher for many years, and he adored literature and poetry. I remembered everything I could, put in some my own little transitions to make it a flowing story, and submitted this for a Creative Writing class last year, and the professor and other students really enjoyed it, and now I would like to share it all with you. Thank you for reading, and I hope you like it. Chris...

The Flower Of Passion

Advantages: Stunning flowers, easy to look after, quick grower
Disadvantages: Can take over the garden if your not careful

...Myself and my girlfriend have been sorting out our back garden so it?s all in good shape for the summer. The garden is not very big so we only have a couple of small flower beds. We have found the Passion Flower to be a great addition to out garden because it is a climbing plant and grows along the fence, rather than taking up floor space! The Passion Flower The Passion Flower is very similar to a vine in the way it grows. New stems grow from the main plant and attach themselves to whatever they decide to grow along. The leaves of the Passion Flower are dark green and have a very attractive shape (I suppose it is quite similar to a cannabis leaf). Along the main stem of the plant, little feelers grow, these are vital to the plant because this is what clings to whatever the plant is growing along and supports the weight...

My Passion

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...Since joining slimming world several months ago I have lost over a stone to reach my idea weight. As you can imagine I am determined to stay at my new weight! Like many people I enjoy sweet treats. Slimming world suggest Muller light yoghurts but they contain aspartame an artificial sweeteners that has been linked to brain cancers. I have reviewed both slimming world and Muller light yoghurt if you want to know more. I was in Marks and Spencer recently and spotted an interesting looking dessert. Deliciously named mango and passion fruit extremely fruity desserts are part of the M & S eat well range of foods. The desserts are attractively packaged in an orange cardboard sleeve. From the picture of the pack the dessert looks thick and creamy and resembles a sponge pudding. The packaging describes the desserts as alphonso mango puree...

The Beautiful Passion Flower

Advantages: easy to grow, beautful flowers and leaves
Disadvantages: slugs and snails like to munch on them!

...I have had my own house for about 2 years now and have only a very small garden with limited space for growing plants. I was bought the Passion Flower by my parents who assured me it was very easy to grow, as I don't have a very good track record with keeping plants alive. This is mainly because I refuse to use slug and snail pellets etc as I think it's cruel. Anyway, back on topic, here I will be reviewing the beautiful Passion Flower. The Passion Flower As I already said, the Passion Flower is very easy to grow, both in conservatories as well as in the garden. This plant originates from the tropical rainforest regions of South America. The ripe Passion Flower has a very distinctive aroma not found in any other flower. The Passion Flower is a climbing plant and the vines which climb are also very pretty with lovely shaped...
