Garmin 305

Advantages: All you could need in a watch
Disadvantages: none

...The Garmin Fore runner 305 has been a life saver for me.. if you are a runner and want to track your progress, train against a vitual partner or simple see how far or fast you are running. then i would advise you get this watch. it is light weight are to be honest when you are running you do not really realise that it is there. i use it on every run i do. even if its just a slow recovery run then i will use the heart rate monitor , pace and distance to make sure it is slow and i am not working harder than I should be. i would say that this is well worth the money and perfect for any runner needing a new watch for sporting purposes....

Logitech wireless Mouse M305 - a great replacement for a dud

Advantages: wireless with more freedom, responsive, comfortable.
Disadvantages: more expensive than a wired mouse.

...In November 2009 I bought a Logitech M305 wireless mouse, which cost £19.99 at Currys. General information Logitech was founded in 1981 in Switzerland and is a world leader in mice. The M305 wireless mouse is designed for use with laptops and is very comfortable in the hand. It looks the same as the picture you can see on ciao website i.e. grey colour with black feature. However if you visit Logitech?s website you can see it?s available in 7 colours. I would describe the size as standard for a laptop mouse. It has a two-button design with a single scroll wheel in-between. However the palm rest is a little taller and more arched than most mice on the market. The package is the size of a small book and easy to open. It contains a wireless mouse, a nano-receiver, an AA battery and a quick start guide. How to start using it...

The work of August Macke in a nutshell

Advantages: A good selection of Macke's work; not expensive (can be free)
Disadvantages: Better if you understand German

...If you go to see this impressive house, do not forget that if it was not for the determination of local people it wouldn't be open at all. The Bonn authorities were willing to let the building become a pub but a public campaign saved it, had it restored and in 1991 the doors opened. I?m pleased they did because August Macke is one of my favourite artists and certainly deserves a place for his work to be exhibited. This lovely Classicist style house, built in the 1870s, also houses a museum that puts into context the life of Macke and the artists working around him. It is the house where Macke painted over 400 pieces and worked until his untimely death in 1914. He was born, however, in the Sauerland region of Germany. His father was an engineer, his mother from a farming family. The family moved to Cologne shortly after August was...

August Rush

Advantages: Great plot, lovely soundtrack,
Disadvantages: i cant possibly think of one

...contrary to what a lot of people think i thought this film was fantastic! plot summary - orpaned boy escapes his orphanage and goes to New York to find his parents. on his search he encounters people who want to profit from his talent and others that want to nurture it. this is the heart warming tale of one boys love of music and how he uses it to find his parents. Acting - all the cast played believable roles especially Robin Williams who plays somebody who isnt funny for a change. The product - The case contains only one disc, the only extra that can be found on the dvd is a ten minute reel of deleted scenes mainly featuring August Rush and Wizard (Robin Williams). subtitles are available in English, French and Spanish. Soundtrack - All the music in the film is beautiful, it ranges from classical to rock. Freddie...

August Rush / Family night in ?

Advantages: Get to Watch one of the Best films of 2007/2008
Disadvantages: Gets emotional in place :( makes you cry

...whatever street money they can get. When Evan gets hold of a guitar, he displays an impossible talent for it (no really, I mean impossible) and Wizard brands his new money maker 'August Rush'. Meanwhile, both Lyla and Louis still remember that fateful night together and both end up in New York at the same time. With an escapade at Julliard (don't ask), Evan puts on a concert in Central Park but first has to escape the Wizard. Will this concert be the key to reconnecting with his parents? If the sentimentality was downplayed just a bit, this could have stood a chance at being an effective film for both children and adults - as it stands, the most effective bits for me was the clever sound editing of everyday noises into a sort of musical rhythm. Not Koyaanisqatsi by any means but the film's brightest spot nonetheless. Freddie...

August Rush (2007) PG (Directed by Kirsten Sheridan)

Advantages: A feel good film highly recommended for a rainy evening.
Disadvantages: If you are a musician you need to let a few things slide.

...years without being adopted. Evan however, doesn't want to be adopted because he believes that one day he will find his parents. Evan has a special connection to music and believes that the moon somehow links him to his parents. He feels music in everyday sounds of the streets. One day Evan takes to the streets of New York to search for his parents. He meets Wizard (Robin Williams) who recognises his musical gift and tried to capitalise on it by giving Evan a guitar and sending him out to busk for him. It turns out that Evan is a music savant and he learns to play a guitar in a rather unique way in 24 hours and the music just flows from him. In order for Evan to remain hidden from the authorities who are looking for him, Wizard changes his name to 'August Rush'. Eventually Evan leaves Wizard to continue to look for his parents and spends some...

A Mixture of what Happens in August In Edinburgh

Advantages: Lots to see and do
Disadvantages: Must book well in advance to get a bed in Edinburgh

...Well it's that time of year in Edinburgh. The first Sunday in August, a huge parade of floats and pipers and performers from various fringe venues and shows go along Princes Street in the Edinburgh Festival Cavalcade. This kicks of the start of the Edinburgh Festival. This works 2 ways for the residents of Edinburgh, they either get in there and go to as many things as they can shows, parades, fringe Sunday etc or they run away and avoid the centre of Edinburgh for the whole month. The festival started in 1947 and is still going strong 57 years on. Many people are invited to take part, but other parts of the festival make Edinburgh a very lively city during the month of August leading into September. I remember as a young child going up to Princes Street to watch the Cavalcade. We were always stuck at the back but I was amazed...
