Available in 26″, 32″ & 37″ Screen Sizes

The BRAVIA V4000 Series LCD TV in HD Ready resolution offers excellent connectivity with 3x HDMI and BRAVIA Theatre Sync, together with the excellent picture quality you would expect from BRAVIA Engine picture processing technology.
HD Ready (1366×768) HD Ready (1366×768) To appreciate just how good a high definition picture is, it helps to know how TVs, DVDs and VHS worked in the past. Until recently, there was only one type of broadcast format – Standard definition – SD. With SD, the level of detail in the picture resolution is limited. SD has a resolution of 720 X 576, which means 576 horizontal lines of 720 pixels each. Pixels are the dots which make up a digital picture. The new HD formats boost resolution far beyond SD, giving your TV a level of clarity and detail that is absolutely breathtaking. Integrated Digital Tuner / Freeview Integrated Digital Tuner / Freeview Having an integrated Digital Freeview Tuner means that your TV has a built in receiver that will give you access to many more channels without the need to have any additional hardware, such as a Freeview box. In 2007, the government began switching UK broadcasting to digital, so if your TV doesn’t have an integrated digital tuner feature you won’t be able to view any channel without buying the additional hardware. BRAVIA Engine BRAVIA Engine BRAVIA Engine is the high picture performance engine used in the latest Sony LCD televisions. An original picture tuning and noise reduction process was developed by Sony to guarantee vivid and high contrast images. The complex noise reduction process enhances low contrast images until they are crisp and realistic, and processes blues, greens and whites within each frame to generate the richness and colour accuracy. Dynamic Contrast Dynamic Contrast Contrast ratio is improved and all shades between the brightest white and the darkest blacks are maintained, so the picture has more depth and detail.

This is achieved as the backlight brightness adjusts according to the brightness of the scene. Sony’s unique dynamic contrast system features ACE (advanced contrast enhancer) which ensures all of the subtle shades of grey are maintained. The V4000 Series delivers a Dynamic Contrast Ratio of 30,000:1 (37’’ 22,000:1). BRAVIA Theatre Sync BRAVIA Theatre Sync BRAVIA Theatre Sync is a new way of controlling Home Theatre setups. Using HDMI connections and one remote control, signals can be sent between the various units that make up the system. BRAVIA Theatre Sync is designed to cut out any complexity so you can concentrate on enjoying the movie. Just one push of a button and the audio equipment and TV are switched on, the correct inputs selected and the Blu-ray DiscTM or DVD player starts to play. HDMI Sockets HDMI Sockets The V4000 Series has 3 x HDMI inputs (two on rear, one on side, all with CEC) make it even easier to connect to High Definition sources such as Blu-ray Disc™ and PLAYSTATION®3 ‘Sony’, ‘like.no.other’, ‘BRAVIA’, ‘BRAVIA Engine’, ‘BRAVIA Theatre Sync’ and their logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of Sony Corporation.

Very entertaining5
Like so many other reviewers, I couldn’t put this book down. I read it on Boxing day and my partner kept giving me funny looks when I was chuckling away to myself at Alan’s antics.
Alan’s story goes to show that there are good times and bad times when you’re a struggling artiste, but that he made it because of (and not despite) his slightly goofy look and camp, high pitched voice.
A fantastic, funny, and sometimes touching read which has left me wanting more. I hope he writes another one following on from this with stories from The Friday Night Project and The Sunday Night Project.

Very Funny book.5
This bought was just so funny I laughed out loud. I would say just get on and buy it. It was easy to read, and you could imagine the senarios he found himself in. I read it straight through and wished it was longer. It was one of the best autobiography’s I’ve read.

FUNNY GUY!!!5
This was a very funny book which had you laughing almost all the way from cover to cover. Alan Carr is one of the funniest guys around on the circuit today and reading this book you can see why. If you like Alan Carr you won’t go far wrong here and try his DVD’s out the man is a comedy legend.

Christmas Books For Children – A Wish To Be A Christmas Tree

•December 20, 2008 • Leave a Comment

You walk into a book store in December and before you is a display of Christmas themed books. Why should you buy a book about the holiday that already is taking up a large amount of time before December 25th even arrives? You love to read great books and on the table are books of real value. Children also learn from the books read to them when an influencing person takes the time to have a conversation concerning the book. For those who value the celebration of Christmas, consider an excellent book as your most valuable resource.

This is a book review for A Wish to Be a Christmas Tree by Colleen Monroe. The ISBN is 1-58536-002-3. To gain the most from the reading of this book, I present to you some simple steps.

  • Read the book quietly and alone for your own enjoyment first.
  • Then, choose a time and place in which you will have your child’s attention.
  • Be prepared to engage your child in a conversation about your values concerning Christmas.

The Summary of this book: An old tree laments that he will never be cut down for a Christmas tree. The animals of the forest help him discover that he has been a gift to them in a different way, that he had a different purpose just as important.

When reading a book to children there are three opportunities to learn about your child’s understanding of the book. I have suggested a prompt for discussion before the book is read, during the reading, and after the reading. Asking your child a question before the reading helps set the expectation of the book’s message. Asking the child a question during the reading helps the child focus on the ideas being presented. After the reading allows the child to connect the story to themselves more directly.

  • Before reading: What are some ways a pine tree is used?
  • During reading: What are some of the gifts the forest animals receive from the pine tree?
  • After reading: Why is it important for us to give gifts to others?

Challenge for Parents: Help your child identify the way others give to them. And, allow your child to be creative in how to give something of themselves to others. Stretch the thinking beyond the things done recently during the holiday season.

During the holidays many messages are being sent to your children. What do you want the most important message to be? To be an influence in our children’s values and beliefs, conscious steps must be taken to guide our children. Why not use a beautifully written and illustrated book?

The Christmas Box – Book Review

•December 18, 2008 • Leave a Comment

“The Christmas Box” was written by Richard Paul Evans in 1994 as a story for his children. Evans circulated some copies of the story to his friends who encouraged him to publish it. When it was published, the little book became a #1 seller on the NY Times list as a hardback and a paperback edition at the same time. It was the first book to achieve that distinction.

“The Christmas Box” is a short story about the author’s family of three and an elderly woman who offers the family the use of part of her very large home in exchange for domestic help in the home. The family and the woman become good friends.

The father discovers an elegant, antique box in the attic. He recognizes it as a Christmas box, a box designed to hold important Christmas treasures that the owner wishes to preserve. He notices some personal letters inside the box but tries his best not to intrude upon the privacy of the box.

The main action of the story takes place during the Christmas season. The woman challenges the father to give his viewpoint about the first and most important present of Christmas. The father has some ideas about how to respond to the question, but he realizes that his ideas are weak and that he seems to be missing something important.

By the end of the story the father has discovered the meaning of the contents of the Christmas box in the attic and the lesson that the woman teaches him about the first present of Christmas. These revelations were the most charming part of the story in my opinion. They gave a focus to some important lessons that need to be learned and relearned periodically throughout our lives. I was glad to have the opportunity to relearn them.

Another aspect of the story that captured my imagination involved the description and meaning of a statue of an angel. It was a very touching part of the story that I will long remember. I have since learned that replicas of the angel statue from “The Christmas Box” have been placed in over 25 cities throughout the nation, and that there are plans for many more.

Obviously, “The Christmas Box” is a story that has touched the lives of many people.

“The Christmas Box” by Richard Paul Evans is published by Simon and Schuster. ISBN 0-684-81499-4.

Dear Fatty Books Review

•December 7, 2008 • Leave a Comment

Dear Fatty
By Dawn French


Product Description

Dawn French is one of the greatest comedy actresses of our time, with a career that has spanned nearly three decades, encompassing a vast and brilliant array of characters. Loved for her irreverant humour, Dawn has achieved massive mainstream success while continuing to push boundaries and challenge stereotypes. Here she describes the journey that would eventually establish her as a perhaps unlikely, but nevertheless genuine, national treasure. Dawn began her career as part of the groundbreaking alternative comedy group, the Comic Strip, marking a radical departure from the more traditional comedy acts of the time. Later came the all-female Girls On Top, which teamed Dawn with Jennifer Saunders, Ruby Wax and Tracy Ullman and firmly established women in British comedy. As part of the wildly successful and much loved duo French and Saunders, Dawn helped create a repetoire of brilliantly observed characters, parodying popular culture and impersonating everything from Madonna and Harry Potter to The Exorcist. Dawn’s more recent role in the Vicar of Dibley showcased not only her talent but also her ability to take a controversial and topical issue and make it mainstream – and very funny. From her early years as an RAF child and her flat-sharing antics with Jennifer Saunders, to her outspoken views on sizism and her marriage to Lenny Henry, Dear Fatty will chronicle the extraordinary, hilarious rise of a complex, dynamic and unstoppable woman.

Amazon.co.uk Review
It’s become a cliché in Britain to call somebody in the entertainment field a national institution — but that’s exactly what Dawn French is. As both comedienne and actress (the latter in both comedy and straight parts), she has become one of the best loved entertainers in the country. Her range is not wide (unlike her dimensions — and that’s the sort of joke she’d crack), but she is utterly winning in everything he does. And that quality continues in Dear Fatty, a truly entertaining memoir of an event-packed life.

The form of the book is a series of letters by French, conjuring her transformation from a West Country RAF girl to a star of the cult alternative comedy group The Comic Strip. This was followed by the groundbreaking all-female Girls on Top (which did much to establish the position of women in British comedy), the astonishing success of the TV series French and Saunders (with French’s equally talented friend Jennifer Saunders) and the sitcom The Vicar of Dibley, where French’s wickedly sardonic touch keeps the tweeness of the basic situation — female vicar in a rustic town — at bay.

For French, early dreams of becoming a ballerina or an air hostess came to nothing, but the loss to the worlds of dance and aviation was a gain for TV audiences. All of that, of course, is covered in this frequently hilarious and often moving collection. We are invited into her most personal relationships with (among others) her mother and father, her husband (fellow comedian Lenny Henry), and, of course, her most important comedic ally, Jennifer Saunders. Everything French describes — from the agonies of being a teenager to the death of her father — and (of course) the way in which society defines her by her generous size — is treated with a highly diverting insight. Fans of Dawn French’s TV appearances will lap it up, but Dear Fatty has a lot more to offer, even to those only vaguely familiar with her. But is anyone in Britain only vaguely familiar with Dawn French? –Barry Forshaw

Review
’something of a revelation. Beacuse in among the the gags and photos of her bare bosom, there is intellectual rigour and real emotional intelligence … heavens, she’s a funny lady. I can’t remember the last time a book made me laugh so much.’ –Sunday Telegraph

Review
‘a national treasure … Loyal, self-deprecating and garrulous, French’s story makes for entertaining reading … this is an original book, and will delight her fans and, indeed anyone with a sense of humour’


Customer Reviews

A little flabby1
It might simply be that Dawn French, or at least Dawn French’s style of writing, is just not going to be my cup of tea. Ever. I have struggled BIG TIME to wade through the first third, and turning each page feels like a triumph of good will over substantially irritating writing style and flabby content. And I really don’t like the structure of the book. This ‘Dear Whoever’ letters thing, rather than be genuinely revealing, just feels like a device straining against it’s own quirkly, clever germ of an idea. Some ideas are only great in themselves, and simply don’t work when followed through. And it’s a shame – the whole project, I mean – because I’d like to read a biographical piece by Dawn French that took the risk of really being straight Dawn – not the ‘in my comfort zone’ fat funny woman who writes in her West Country comedy-speak, right down to the ‘I s’pect’ rather than ‘I expect’ – you know, so we feel like we’re sitting on a comfy sofa with the Vicar of Dibley herself. And I really CAN’T ABIDE the Vicar of Dibley. So, for me, this is very much an unrealised venture and thus rather disappointing, unfunny, and put-downable.

What a fantastic book to read4
When i first saw the title of her book i was wondering what this book was going to be about. But how wrong i was, the book was honest and to the point. Her revelations about her past really touched me and brought a few tears to my eyes. You clearly see how important her family are to her. Highly recommended!!!

I love this book5
Dawn French is familiar to many people. She is well known for her comedy and for being half of French and Saunders, and as the wonderful Vicar of Dibley.

I personally love reading autobiography, coz I could learn a lot from their life experience. Dear Fatty is mostly about her early days in the Comic Strip, the films she took part in, as well as her recent roles. It is written as a series of letters, to diffrent people, and a large proportion of these are written to her father, who has much affect on her.
It is emotional.

All in all, I recommend this book to everybody, especially who are the fans of Dawn French.

Romance at Its Best – Private Flings Considered

•December 5, 2008 • Leave a Comment

Folks that are married know better, they vow to remain faithful, they no doubt love their spouse or once did and then something happens that makes them think, consider and perhaps, play in a most dangerous game, risking all they have built and all they stand for a secret rendezvous encounter. Why do they do it, how do they do it and what comes over them in this heated passionate period. Perhaps, such things are better told in story form than on the self-help book shelves of love and romance.

For those who have thought or would like to entertain such thoughts, indeed, a romance novel of this type is one of the favorite genres of this venue. Indeed, if you are interested in reading such a story, a novel, a book that dares to take you through and encounter with your hidden passion, somewhere you would never actually go, but find fancy and fantasy worthy of your entertainment reading time; then may I be so bold as to suggest that you read:

“Private Affairs; they risked love to live a dream” by Judith Michael; Pocket Books Division of Simon and Schuster; New York, NY 1987.

They had built the American Dream together, he was a senator, she was a TV talk show guest and writer, they lived well and deserved it for all their hard work, but each of them wanted more and engaged in private affairs. They were ripping their world apart for their ‘private passions’ and as the world came tumbling down around their American Dream, they salvaged their empire, their marriage and their love. If you like such romantic intrigue then this is the book for you.

Keep Christmas Sane This Year – 5 Thrifty and Fun Christmas Ideas

•November 28, 2008 • Leave a Comment

We all know that Christmas Consumerism is something we want to avoid. This time of year, everyone seems to be focused on gifts, and less focused on family. You do not have to “go broke” to have a fun Christmas. By planning ahead a bit, you can celebrate Christmas with very little money and still have a very special celebration.

Here are just a few ideas to help you get creative:

• Sit down with each family member individually and ask them what they love about Christmas. You will be pleased to find out that many of these are no or low-cost activities. If no one mentions certain holiday activities, it may mean it is time to get rid of them.

• In November, go through the entire house and gather up all the Christmas CDs, Videos, Books, Devotionals, etc and wrap them. Use what you have on hand. You can use wrapping paper, tissue paper, newspaper, or put them into a big pillowcase tied with a ribbon. If you do not have many of these, think about some books that have elements of Christmas (like the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, or many of the Little House books) and include those as well. Still do not have very many? Go to the library and check out their selections. Some of these can be just for fun, and some can be serious Christian devotional books for Christmas or Advent. Count how many you have, and how many days you have left until Christmas. Each day, allow the children to open a new one (or two, depending on how many days you have left, and how many items).

• Stop now and look through your pantry. Do you have things there you can use to make special treats for your family, or as gifts for extended family?

• Plan a night where you tell everyone to get into their warm pajamas for bed, then, at the last minute, wisk them into the car to go look at Christmas lights.

• Host a Toy Exchange with your friends. A lot of people have toys that are in excellent condition that they children either do not use or have outgrown. Plan a toy exchange where everyone brings toys they want to swap. Everyone spreads their toys around the room (we group by ages) and then everyone “shops” and takes what their family would like. If there are leftover toys in good condition, the host can box them up and take them to a charity.

Have a Merry Christmas!

Book Review For “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”

•November 25, 2008 • Leave a Comment

Written by: JK Rowling
Scholastic
759 pages
Hardback
978-0-545-02937-7
Five stars

In this last installment of the series, Harry, along with his friends, Ron and Hermione, are in pursuit of Voldemort’s horcruxes, determined to destroy them before Harry confronts the Dark Lord for the last time.

The book starts out with Harry at the Dursleys, and it’s surprising, yet pleasant, to see how Dudley has matured along with Harry. These scenes, coupled with later ones towards the end, go a long way in explaining Petunia’s motivations and attitude throughout the series.

Finding the horcruxes are a challenge for the young trio and there are various trials and tribulations they must face. First they must extract Harry safely from Privet Drive, then they must figure out a way for him to attend Bill and Fleur’s wedding. After the wedding, Harry and his friends go from shelter to shelter hunting down the horcruxes. Rowling also introduces the “Deathly Hallows,” a new mystery in the form a children’s fairytale, and Harry must determine how this fits into Voldemort’s plans. As new mysteries are solved, new ones present themselves, including the mystery of the silver doe patronus.

The book is filled with action, adventure and it ties up all the loose ends of the series well. Rowling not only explains the Deathly Hallows (it seems Harry has been in the possession of one since book one!) but also rewards the readers with Dumbledore’s and Snape’s back story. Both these characters have been vitally important since the series began and their histories are rich, poignant, realistic, and a delicious morsel for readers.

Rowling’s writing, as usual, is crisp and sharp. Her descriptions don’t overwhelm you, making It easy to imagine her fantasy world. When it comes to her characters, they’re so wonderfully drawn; it’s hard not to feel for them – including the supporting cast of Lupin, Tonks, and Snape especially. She’s perfected an extraordinary blend of action and character development. Her pacing is “spot on.” It’s wonderful to see how this book ties in with the previous one written. For example, polyjuice potion plays as big a role in this book, as it did book two. Rowling builds on the series with a fluidity that is unexpected in today’s literature making it a special treat indeed.

Harry’s coming of age may be finished with this book, but his accomplishments will live on forever. Kudos to Rowling for putting together a series that will endure throughout the ages.

Five Must Have Fashion Books

•November 25, 2008 • Leave a Comment

Almost all the artistic sections of human society have got a number of books written on them, be it film, painting or other crafts. Those books are read profoundly by the book lovers. Even the heaps of books written on fashion clearly indicate that it is not enough to wear fashion only, but its literature too needs some space in your wardrobe.

1.A to Zoe. Writer: Rachael Zoe
Grand Central Publishing, 192 pp.
Price: $25;

Though being a photo-collection of famous individuals and her friends, its eight chapters are full of numerous practical fashion tips for fashion lovers. The book deals with many how-to’s. The reader learns to select the right footwear for a particular dress. Further, the book very clearly describes the art of applying makeup, choosing the suitable jewelry and many other things. The presentation of fashion terms and tips using a glossary makes it too exciting.

2.That Extra Half Inch: Hair, Heels and Everything in Between. Writer: Victoria Beckham
Harper Paperbacks, 384 pp.
Price: $20

Victoria’s writing debut, assisted by Hadley Freeman, is many inches( read miles) ahead of contemporary books on fashion. Her personal descriptions and her stylistic fashion tips make this book unmatched. This is not a collection of rules and advices. Rather, it gives a wide array of inspirational fashion guidelines to almost all age-groups.

3.Glamour Girls. Writer: Patrick McMullan
PMC Publishing, 316 pp.
Price: $75

It is basically a photo album of famous and beautiful ladies rather than being a book. This celebrity photographer has photographed more than 1000 sexy ladies in the world who have given a new dimension to the world of fashion. Uma Thurman and Angelina Jolie are only two of them. These photographs, added with texts, arrange for us a fairytale journey in the world of celebrity fashion.

4.The Black Dress. Writer: Valerie Steele
Collins Design, 112 pp.
Price: $20

The fact that how black has survived through the course of history, and has remained always the most practical choice of fashion lovers, seems to be a definite inspiration for the writer. This is a visual translation of this “black” trend. He has worked a lot to present a vibrating collection of classic stills from movies, designer sketches and photographs of celebrities describing the charm and greatness of black. The collection of quotes on black is an added feature.

5.Forever Cool: How to Achieve Ageless, Youthful and Modern Personal Style for Men and Women. Writer: Sherrie Mathieson
Clarkson Potter, 256 pp.
Price: $23

Probably the most real, it comes with a truckload of tips and advices for all who have crossed their 40’s. The book contains no photo of famous personalities but shows the people of locality in an elegant manner. The book compares a pre-grooming photo of a real life model to his/her post-grooming one illustrating the difference. The writer gives simple but exciting tips which are more than enough to any middle-aged person to come back on the right track of fashion.

Definitely, looking at these fashion publications too will give a better insight of the fashion world.

Moreover, Exploring Fashion can give you a lot of tips related to fashion.

The Best Dog Training Books

•November 25, 2008 • Leave a Comment

Why is it that my neighbor can’t seem to figure out that when he locked his untrained puppy and goes off to work all day that the dog does nothing to bark, bark and bark. What an idiot, a neighbor I mean, not that the dog. I don’t blame the little puppy, how is he supposed to know better? He barks out of loneliness, out of frustration, out of anxiety, and out of fear. Occasionally he barks to protect his territory, pitiful as it is with its leftover poop, a water bowl turned over, and a single ratty chew toy the dog outgrew the first week it was brought to the house. I wonder if this moron has ever heard of dog-training books? I know I’m about ready to clue him in.

When your fat freak of a self gets home, you enter your house—to the barking—and take your sweet time (to eat) before retrieving your supposedly beloved pet. Then you take the were animal off and sequester it into some room or he is once again all alone. Instead of paying an idiot and doing the dog a great disservice you could be reading one of the many EASY-to-comprehend dog-training books, and teach that beautiful little animal how to cope with daily life.

He is after all just a baby. You could be surfing amazon.com or powells.com or another of the hundreds of Internet bookshops for dog-training books. They number in the thousands. That will show you how to condition your dog not to bark at every living being and every leaf that happens to fall from a tree. No, you fat ignoramus, amazon.com is not a place to find amazons to amuse you, and powells.com is not a play on words for closet masochists. This is about the dog, not you. If it were we would be talking to the dog—who clearly has a great deal more sense than you apparently do.

In fact, you could read at least one of the thousands of general and specific dog-training books to understand WHY your poor little puppy needs to be treated. HOW you can keep him from chewing furniture (so you don’t have an excuse anymore for why you lock him away outside so he won’t bother you but the neighbors instead). We need to get up and go to work too. The constant barking doesn’t do anyone any good. If you can’t handle owning a dog then maybe you should find a more hospitable home for it.

We chose to be dog-less. You have made a choice…now take some damned responsibility for it. By some dog-training books and read them, put them into action. You may even be well served by some damned human-training books. The problem lies with you, not the dog.
