SB 128

Advantages: Cheap, Decent Sound Quality
Disadvantages: Not as good as SoundBlaster Live!

...to the higher IRQ's it uses. Installation was a breeze with the quality PnP operations we love now. No conflicts, everything ran great. Compared to an AWE64, there wasn't a noticeable sound difference. The reason for using this card over the AWE64 would only be to promote the PCI bus and to lower CPU utilization (direct result of using PCI as well). I found the normal stuff with this card 'Creative-wise' of the fun control panels, and just plain quality sound. Designed for the home user, gamer or multimedia enthusiast, you can hear every gunshot and experience the enemy sneaking up behind you. Use the four-speaker output to truly experience real 3D sound! The Sound Blaster PCI128 utilizes the PCI bus, allowing it to use far less CPU overhead than traditional sound cards. This translates into higher frame rates in your games, more...

Dead as a Doornail

Advantages: Exciting and surprising novel
Disadvantages: too many non-human types

...Background: A few weeks ago I read the first book written by Charlaine Harris, 'Dead until Dark'. Following this I was keen to try another one from her, featuring Sookie Stackhouse as the heroine. So when I saw this one in my local charity shop I snapped it up. About the author: Charlaine Harris was born in Tunica in Mississippi on the 25th November 1951. Having spent her early years in employment as a Typesetter for Federal Express, she decided to try her hand at her big passion writing. Since then she has written 30 books of which eight have featured Sookie Stackhouse as her lead character. This novel I'm reviewing is the fifth in the series. Synopsis of the book: Sookie Stackhouse works as a Cocktail Waitress when she's not get into trouble. She is different from most as she is telepathic and can read other people...

As He Does...Top Gear

Advantages: Relaxed, chatty writing style
Disadvantages: Only really for fans of "Top Gear"

...Gloucestershire in the summer of 2007 to ensure he was at his daughter's birthday was widely reported as not only a sign of his recovery from the crash but his devotion as a father. Now, in "As You Do", we get to look behind the scenes of some of the stranger "Top Gear" challenges, but also of Hammond's life. There are five major stories in the book, three dealing with "Top Gear" challenges, one with the 2007 floods and one with another show he recorded. The "Top Gear" challenges are ones any fan may be familiar with; recent ones involving the Polar expedition, the drive across Botswana and trying to build an amphibious vehicle to cross the Channel to France. The others are about the aforementioned story with the floods and meeting one of his idols, Evel Knievel, to film a documentary about his life. If any of these things are new to you, particularly...

Hard As Nails

Advantages: Strengthens nails over time
Disadvantages: Peels off

...While I am at college, I am currently working part time at Sainsbrys. Now, before I started working there, I had 10 decent length finger nails, but within a week of starting, they disapeared. I have also noticed, that as soon as I get a nail at a decent length, I break it, at work. I have never really had strong nails but I thought that there must be something out there that can strenghtne them and make them less brittle. I did a search on boots.com and came across Sally Hansen Hard As Nails. I purchased it for 4.25 from Boots. I think the picture above must be an old one as the product is now in a normal looking nail varnish bottle with a long silver handle. (See picture) The varnish looks as though it has a slight pink hint to it, which I think it has. This helps to make the varnish look more natural on your nail. The varnish...

There's Nowt As...

Advantages: Entertaining, well written, well acted drama series
Disadvantages: Lots of sex scenes and swearing!

...My husband and I have just finished watching another DVD boxset. This time, it was the Definitive Collector's Edition of Queer as Folk. I received this for Christmas, but it is currently being sold by Amazon UK for only £13.97 and is well worth the money, as you get a lot for that. The boxset consists of - QUEER AS FOLK - the entire first UK series, which is eight episodes QUEER AS FOLK 2 - the two episodes which made up the second series plus over two hours of extras, which include extended and deleted scenes, trailers, commentaries, documentaries and various interviews. (More on these later.) There's also a 32-page booklet written by Russell T Davies. Yes, the man who brought Doctor Who back to the BBC in 2005! He also wrote Queer as Folk, back in 1999. THE SERIES Queer as Folk is set in Manchester and follows...

As time goes by...

Advantages: See text.
Disadvantages: See text.

...I would just like to write a review of As Time Goes By, a comedy series shown originally on the BBC but in more recent times shown on G.O.L.D. The series starts when Lionel (Geoffrey Palmer) is looking for a secretary to help him with his book, on life In Kenya when he was based there during the war. He comes across a temping agency run by Jean (Judi Dench), but unbeknown to both of them they both knew each other before the war and before Lionel goes off to war. He ends up marrying (or so we are lead to believe although it is not actually too clear as to what happened to his wife), and Jean is a widower with a grown up daughter (who also works for her mum in the family business). Their friendship starts to blossom again, to the point where they decide to 'make a go' of things again - to the delight of Jean's daughter, who never...

It's the end of the Youth as We Know It

Advantages: Plumps out skin and leaves it glowing, fantastic moisturiser, minimises wrinkles
Disadvantages: Potential irritants, no SPF, high price tag

...As winter sets in it?s easy to see the effect the cold weather has on your skin, leaving it dry, red and just downright irritated. I always find that I need a new moisturiser as Autumn comes around and this year I splashed out on Bliss?s The Youth as we Know It after hearing great things about it. Bliss is an uber expensive range of skin and body lotions and potions, a sideline of the fantastically successful BlissSpa in New York. The Spa and the product range was launched by inexplicably young looking Marcia Kilgore (who then went on to develop the far more affordable Soap & Glory range) and their products are lauded by beauty experts everywhere, often coming with a price tag more akin to the deposit on your first house. My own experience with the Bliss range is somewhat hit and miss ? when I find a product I like it quickly becomes...

Insane Disk Mini SD 128MB

Advantages: Small and compact
Disadvantages: Not enough space to be useable

...My latest phone is an Orange SPV C550. The prerequisite to buying this phone was that it had to have a memory card inside to save off MP3's and photos. The card I got with this was a Sandisk Mini SD 128MB card. When you take the card out you realise just how small it is. I would say its just a bit smaller than a standard postage stamp. I was amazed at how the size of memory has reduced over recent years. The small physical size also has the added benefit that you can store it almost anywhere and not worry about it taking up space. Unfortunately this has the added effect of being easy to loose. The actual card as I said stores up to 128MB of data. For the purpose of my phone this just isn't big enough so I have recently replaced the card with a bigger one. The 128MB card is now used as a spare and to transfer files between PC...

Dead as a Doornail-book 5 of Sookie Stackhouse series

Advantages: Packed with action and good storyline
Disadvantages: No for me

...This is the fifth installment of the Sookie Stackhouse series and trust me; it is probably one of the best in the series so far for me. The story picks up from what Charlaine left off in the previous book. Jason successfully incorporates his new life as a two-natured werepather. Just when everything seems to be going fine, shootings begins in the area and unknown to the police, all the victims are shape shifters. Sookie has to take the matter in her hands when her friend Calvin Norris from Hotshot and her boss Sam both get shot, and her brother becomes a suspect among the shape shifter community as he was turned against his will. As a favor, Eric lends one of his bartenders Charles Twinning to Sam while he recovers from the accident. After the issue with the bar is settled, Sookie finds herself in another series of troubles before...
