Straining Belief

Advantages: I've finished it........
Disadvantages: I bought it....

...I've read James Rollins before, and have to give him credit for delivering just about conceivable storylines..In the Judas Strain, we see a worldwide pandemic looming, blossoming from every type of benign bacteria known to man....causing symptoms of every disease known in its victims......no single disease pandemic from THIS author, no sirree!! Following in the footsteps of a great explorer, Painter Crowe, Commander Gray Pierce and Monk of Sigma force (what macho names) have to turn to their sword enemies, the sinister Guild for help...........the beautiful but deadly Guild assassin, Eurasian Seichan, running around the world with a leaking bullet wound helping Pierce at every turn. Also aiding in their quest is, of course, the obligatory Vatican representative (because the explorer was Italian, the Vatican had to be involved...

Review of Andromeda Strain (2008)

The Andromeda Strain.

Advantages: Not bad
Disadvantages: Nothing new to add really

...The Andromeda Strain. This is a far movie than the original film with more explanation surrounding the question of the probe which crashes in the small town of Pedemonte Utah. In the original film it was never really properly explained. We have found a tear in the fabric of space and recklessly sent in a probe to find out as much as we can about it. When the probe returns it crashes into a small out of the way town and soon everybody is dead, well not quite everybody? What has the probe brought back with it that can so easily and rapidly kill everyone human and animal alike? The probe is brought to a secure underground research station in order to discover the secrets it hold but the virus is already loose and soon America and the world is under threat of extension. Has the probe been sent back with death...

Bruise relief

Advantages: Seems to clear up bruises
Disadvantages: Careful how you use it

...Arnica bruise relief On a recent quad biking experience, Little Miss managed to crash into a tree and fall down a ditch. Thankfully, apart from a small cut and some HUGE bruises, she was fine, and even went quad biking again. The bruises were of some concern to me because not only was the big one on her leg causing her some discomfort, but they looked awful. I had heard about arnica being good for bruises, but never having used it before, I did a little bit of a finding out exercise before rushing out to buy it. WHAT IS IT? Arnica (Arnica montana) has been used for medicinal purposes since the 1500s and remains popular today to soothe muscle aches, reduce inflammation, and heal wounds and it is often the first remedy used for injuries such as sprains and bruises. Arnica in herbal form is primarily restricted to external use...

ANDROMEDA STRAIN - A TASTE OF THINGS TO COME??

Advantages: Good past paced movie, good effects and plot
Disadvantages: Jumps about between past and present at times

...Based on the book by Michael Crichton 'The Andromeda Strain' is a very good science fiction film. Like so many science fiction films, it was made in 1970, with good special effect a fast moving plot and a chilling realism when it comes to the possibility of a global biological hazard (considering the fact that we have had Bird Flu already) has become more of a problem than nuclear war. The Andromeda Strain (1970) Directed Robert Wise (Star Trek - Motion Picture / Day The Earth Stood Still) The story.... A satellite returning to Earth with the mission of collecting space dust, collects something more deadly, and when the satellite goes off course and lands next to a remote New Mexico Village called Piedmont. The villagers curious about the find, take it to their village doctor, who promptly opens it. At this point he was...

Review of The Andromeda Strain (DVD)

Pro relief? No relief

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Stabbing pains in teeth, worsening sensitivity

...I am a Bzzagent and I'm reviewing the toothpaste distributed in their latest campaign. I was sent a full sized sample of Colgate Sensitive Pro Relief, and some small samples to give out to friends and family. What does this toothpaste do? In a nutshell it's supposed to help against sensitivity by blocking tubules which, when you see the microscopic drawing, look like little holes in the tooth along the gum line. 'The open tubules are a pathway to sensitive pain' according to Colgate, and the toothpaste provides occlusion of dentine tubules. Using the Toothpaste You use the toothpaste as you would any other, brushing twice a day, paying particular attention to the gum line. You can also dab a small amount on any particularly sensitive areas close to the gum, using a small amount place on the finger tip and massaging...

Anyone for Hand Relief?

Advantages: Really improves and moisturises the skin
Disadvantages: A bit expensive

...OK I shall get the obvious double entrendre out of the way first. It always makes me giggle when my husband has been working in the garden all day and comes in and moans about how dry his hands are and I as the dutiful wife ask him if he would like some Hand Relief. This used to bring a broad smile to his face until he realised I was offering him Aveda's Hand Relief - an intensively moisturising hand cream and not something else. I first came across this product as a samples which were put into my bag after I had purchased other Aveda products (anyone who has read any of my reviews knows I am quite an Aveda afficionado) and to be honest for years I just used to bin said samples because I used another handcream. Suffering from eczema makes choosing a handcream difficult and having found one that I liked and got on with I wasn't about...

Thirsty skin relief

Advantages: Refreshing, hydrating, lasts ages, not heavy on skin
Disadvantages: Expensive

...through. There is silver writing on the front of the pot reading: ?CLINIQUE moisture surge extended thirst relief.? Overall the pot looks cute, typically Clinique and good quality. The Moisturiser? The first thing I noticed about this is the lovely colour! It is a lovely pale pink colour which looks lovely! The texture of the moisturiser isn?t quite what I expected, as it is more like a gel or serum that a moisturiser. Rather than being white it is clear and feels cool to touch. It barely has a smell which goes along with most Clinique products which are fragrance free and therefore very delicate on the skin. The moisturiser is really smooth and feels like silk when you apply it to the skin. It spreads really well and I?ve found that you barely need to use any. I?ve also found it hardly needs any rubbing in as it seems to...

Review of Comic Relief

Aveda hand relief - my hands smell like cakes!!

Advantages: It does a great job of moisturising your hands, a little goes a long way
Disadvantages: Bit pricey!!

...Advantages: It does a great job of moisturising your hands, a little goes a long way A bit about me: Generally I am not really one for spending a lot of money on cosmetics or creams. Apart from the odd treat at Christmas or birthdays, I will do a lot of research and pick the product that does the best job for as little cash as possible. Pretty much the area of my beauty regime that I will spend the least on, is my hands which is daft because due to years of eczema, my hands look far far older than I am. I am 35, my hands, bless em, are 60! Eczema has left them dry and extremely sensitive so I need to take care with the products I use. My mum gave me one of her half full tubes of Aveda Hand relief cream insisting that it was fantastic and I should try it. The product: It promise to soothe dry, chapped hands leaving them...
