/mister Maker!

Advantages: Jack likes it
Disadvantages: i am not too keen

...Mister Maker - Cbeebies.... Mister Maker is a programme that is shown on the Cbeebies channel (614 sky or 71 digibox). It is repeated twice a day and is shown pretty much 7 days a week, meaning we have seen this show a lot. The show, as with all programmes shown on the Cbeebies channel, is aimed at small children of pre-school age and just over meaning it is watched by children from 0 to 4. The show is, as its name would suggest, about a man who makes different things and a lot of it is very simple to make using things that one would have around the home. Mister Maker himself is a 20 something year old man who is a little bit wacky and slightly annoying. The set of the show is all very brightly coloured and appealing to the younger child for this reason. I have made a couple of the things shown on the programme with Jack...

The Witch Maker

Advantages: Good story with interesting support characters
Disadvantages: Lack of firm evidence

...Hallerton. It is a small and extremely close knit community who dislike and distrust all outsiders. It is a place controlled by the head of the community 'the Witch Maker'. But one morning he is found dead at the stake where the witch was burnt. DCI Woodend and his glamorous assistant Monika Paniatowski must unravel 350 years of history to discover the truth. They must do this within the next three days as that is when the next witch burning is due to happen. He has already been told by his boss that this event cannot be cancelled at any cost. As the villagers every 20 years celebrate the burning of the supposed witch Meg Ramsden at the stake in front of them. What DCI Woodend soon discovers is that several of the wives in Hallerton in the past 20 years have committed suicide. Is this related to the other murder? And is it just...

Where there's a Will

Advantages: Entertaining, informative, a fun read
Disadvantages: Author sometimes appears too good to be true

...Having recently returned from the idyllic Solomon Islands, Will Randall is having terrible time teaching in an inner-city comprehensive. During a class visit to an art gallery a chance encounter with an eccentric Dutchwoman presents an opportunity to escape. The woman is Maria-Helena von Würfelwerfer and Randall agrees to be her chaperone as she travels to India to join her elderly Maharaja lover. Once Maria-Helena is safely delivered, Will finds himself in the unusual position of having nowhere in particular to go and nothing in particular to do - until he is charmed by the children of an ashram for orphans and agrees to become their English teacher. When pressure mounts from local developers the school faces the threat of closure and Randall and the other volunteers come up with a plan to raise the money required to save it...

Delve into your family's past with Family Tree Maker 2009 Deluxe

Advantages: Straightforward and porwerful
Disadvantages: Slow to load large trees

...Family Tree Maker is a series of packages designed to help you build and enrich your family tree, originally designed by Broderbund and then sold to become part of Ancestry.com's line of products. As of writing, the 2010 version has just been released, but prior versions are still very popular within the genealogy community and I personally still use 2009. The main feature of building your family tree is straightforward to use and will work with as little or as much information as you can provide. The tree builder utilizes two screens - the family screen and the person screen. On the family screen you can see all the connections between family members, although one drawback is that children and siblings of ancestors are not shown until that person is clicked upon. Either double clicking or selecting the person and clicking "Person...

Philips Senseo Coffee Maker - a coffee lovers heaven

Advantages: Perfect coffee at the press of a button
Disadvantages: Pods can be hard to find at times

...I am a complete coffee addict, I admit it. I can't function until I have had my caffine fix of the day. I drink my coffee stong,black and unweetened - because of this I like good coffee and it is one product that I will not economise on. Over my married life ( 38 years of it) I have had all sorts of coffee machines in my quest for a good cup of coffee, not just one that smells good when you walk in the kitchen but also tastes as good as it smells. I have had caffetieres, traditional expressom makers that you heat on the hob, an all singing and dancing cappuchino and espresso maker and umpteen different filter coffee machines. But I never did find the Holy Grail of coffee machines - the tatse wasn't quite right, or they were very difficult to clean or I ended up with a jug of stewed, bitter coffee. That was until six years ago...

Where Theres A Will There's A Grace

Advantages: Funny show.
Disadvantages: Very stereotypical.

...Will & Grace is a Emmy award winning sitcom that aired between 1998-2006. The show takes place in New York City and focuses on Will Truman, a gay lawyer and his best friend Grace Adler, a straight Jewish girl who runs her own interior design firm. That show sounds boring, why is it so good I hear you ask. The casting directors hired two perfect actors to play Will & Grace. Eric McCormack who plays Will isn't too gay like someone else in the show, so it makes it seem plausible that Grace thought he was straight. Debra Messing who plays Grace is just so bubbly and eccentric that you can't help but love her. Most importantly though it's the chemistry between Will & Grace that pulls you in, I myself always thought that they'd get together in the end. The show doesn't just focus around these two characters though, two of the best...

Jack Wills - Casual, Well-Made, Modern Clothes

Advantages: Great Quality, Up-market, well known brand, lots to choose from
Disadvantages: Price!

...If you are looking for good-quality, colourful, casual clothes then you will very much enjoy going to this shop! *In A Nutshell* Jack Wills is a popular upmarket high street/designer retailer store, and sells casual clothes for both men and women. It also sells a small range of homeware including duvets and pillowcases, cushions, mugs, bathroom cosmetics and towels. There are stores nationwide. The target audience is for people in their teens to about their mid 20's, although I have seen many other people on either side of that age bracket wearing their clothes! *The Good* Jack Wills sell a wide range of cool, brightly-coloured, modern, extremely well made garments that - unless you stain it, rip it, outgrow it etc - will last for a long time. They have a great variety of clothes, although they are all just a variation on the 'theme...
