Some people excel whilst at school, and thrive on being spoon fed facts and figures to regurgitate in an exam. Others find the best way to improve their overall education is to research subjects for themselves, and so truly find a passion for their chosen subject.
By the time you enter University in Britain (if you [...]

Flowers for Algernon - Daniel Keyes
If you enjoyed the first Forest Gump book, you are quite likely to enjoy this book. The main character in Flowers for Algernon has severe learning difficulties, and encounters the possibility of greatly increasing his intellect. This leads to him becoming a lot more self-aware.
However, the increase in his intellectual [...]

Whilst people may argue over the necessity for a ‘normal’ person who works in an office, and has no actual disfigurements to under take plastic surgery, for those in the public eye, especially film & pop stars, many view such procedures as a necessary investment to ensure they can carry on earning the big bucks.
Luckily, [...]

Three Men in a Boat - Jerome K. Jerome
Yet another title that describes the book most succinctly, though there is a dog as well. Embarrassing as it may be, I have to confess that before I started reading the book, I assumed it had a connection with the ‘butcher, baker, candle stick maker’ nursery rhyme [...]

I have been to Amsterdam a few times, and twice my trip involved staying at least overnight.
The first time I went, it was in 2001. I was on my way to Kazakhstan, flying on my own and just about to get married, all for the first time ever (well, obviously on the marriage front [...]

The Old Man and the Sea - Ernest Hemingway
This time Mr Hemingway did manage to capture and hold my imagination and interest. We find ourselves in Cuba, in a small fishing village. The old man of the title has been fishing a very long time, and has a apprentice/assistant who cares about the man as [...]

When someone close to you has an eating disorder, be it Anorexia, Bulimia, NES (Night Eating Syndrome) or the many associated mental disorders (bi-polar, self harming, manic depressive) I know from personal experience (from a long time ago, obviously I’m not about to post her name) that the emotional stresses and strains, as well [...]

For Whom The Bell Tolls - Ernest Hemingway
Again Hemingway famously volunteered to fight (this time against fascists) in the Spanish Civil war, so this book is based on his own experiences, though whether it was as close to real life as A Farewell To Arms is not known by this reviewer. I’m not entirely sure [...]

If you are in the market for Website Design, and don’t know where to go for some high quality work, give Indiana Website Design a shot.

I have just signed up with their Contextual Link program - once I have completed a few tasks, and been paid I will report back with details of the scheme, [...]

A Farewell to Arms - Ernest Hemingway
This book is at least semi-auto biographic for Hemingway. He did go and volunteer for service in Italy during WWI, and is assumed to have had a romance that inspired the other half of this book’s content. Personally, I did like the description of the futility if many types [...]

However Remortgage Guild specialise in bad credit rating remortgages. The process is fairly simple - visit their site, follow the three simple steps, [...]

Wow, luckily, she had not started packing yet, as her work no longer need her back in Moscow for a 3rd week. It will be nice to have her all to myself for once
Before I forget, I meant to link to another plug in yesterday. For anyone who hasn’t noticed yet, if you [...]

If you have a party coming up, and want to have that ‘wow’ factor, have you considered using a projector? Not the type that displays slides of your latest butterfly observing weekend break to a room full of stupefied people. No, I mean the type of projector that can be used to display movies, TV, [...]

Central Asia Now is a relatively new site dedicated to covering current affairs, well, in the Central Asian region.

In the above image, Central Asia is apparently shown as any country that on top the thick red line…
Central Asia now specifically covers Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
The site will aggregate news from the region, and [...]

One of the problems many women report is that most rehabilitation programs are designed for men. Whilst no one would ever begrudge an opportunity for an addict to stay clean, Orchid Recovery Center decided that something needed to be done. One example of their work so far is the alcohol rehab for women program.

The centre [...]
