Mini IQ

Advantages: review removed
Disadvantages: review removed

...do all the work selling the books and recruiting more nice people. In my opinion. Post Aug 2008, a lot of penny pinching from the company's greatest asset (it's people) started to be, I think, the beginnng of the company's downfall. Paying for the cheapest delivery company that damage the goods or just don't deliver at all, is false economy and did nothing but insult the loyalty of the associates.. Most of the books can be bought elsewhere cheaper - it's called google and when things went out of stock with Mini IQ I always chose to purchase from Amazon or elsewhere in order to maintain good service to my customers and not let them down after Mini IQ's warehouse went out of stock. This was not something I was taught it was something I did to keep customers happy. I even made a profit as the prices on amazon were often lower than...

A strong blizzard is in town

Advantages: Quite different and much better than the previous few Black Sabbath albums with Ozzy
Disadvantages: None

...Blizzard of Ozz was Ozzy Osbourne's first album following his split from Black Sabbath. Following being sacked from Black Sabbath, Ozzy was in a mess, living in a hotel and trying to drink and snort himself in to oblivion - Sharon Osbourne who would eventually become his wife, decided to get him back on track and from the brink of destruction, the depressive Ozzy got his stuff together and recorded this rather enjoyable album. A great helping hand came from Randy Rhoads who added an awesome speed to the guitar playing of the band. The only thing that this album really has in common with his earlier work of Black Sabbath is Ozzy's voice, although it does tend to stay in the top rangeof his voice for much of it. The themes are quite different with a lot less of a satanic outlook and a more moody sound, the music is gentle and melodic...

Family Fun at Blizzard Beach

Advantages: Great for everyone, Lots of different slides
Disadvantages: Heat of walkways in the summer

...Let's start with a brief introduction... I have been to Blizzard Beach approx. 7 times. Most of the visits were with my parents between 1997 and 2000, however I recently visited twice in January 2007. WHEN TO VISIT The "When To Visit" Orlando is a well strung out debate...I have visited in July / August as well as January. Most of it is down to personal preference. We last visited in Janaury (60 - 70 degrees each day) and most people said we'd be mad to try the water parks. Ignore anyone who says this. There is no "good / bad" time to visit Blizzard Beach...if in Walt Disney World, head down, if only for a few hours. GENERAL INFO Blizzard Beach is one of Disney's two Orlando Water Parks (the other being Typhoon Lagoon). It is based on a winter wonderland in the sun. All the slides have plastic snow on them to make it look like...

Basic IQ Test Book for Novices.

Advantages: Short and Sweet. Functionable.
Disadvantages: Has the same tests, similar to other better books on the market.

...This book is quite concise - it needs to be, many like me are not interested in anything else except for the tests that assess your IQ. I own several many IQ books so it was only natural for me to compare it with the others. This book is quite suitable for the novice, those who are testing their IQ for fun, however, those who have been through numerous books (e.g. those who are a little obsessed with confirming their high intelligence....) - this may be a little under-challenging as it contains many of the more common IQ tests and questions that appear in a lot of other books. The score and marking is relatively straight forward to understand, and follows many of the other IQ books. There are brief discussions on the issue of intelligence, however, this is mainly a 'test' book. For those who are looking for something more...

BLIZZARD BEACH- a clash between water and snow

Advantages: not bad price, looks amazing, some amazing sildes
Disadvantages: wait time can get very long for slides

...Once long ago in Orlando Florida a freak snow storm hit. A very clever aligator decided to make his millions by building a ski resort in the middle of Orlando! Unfortunatly for the aligator the snow storm was only freak! Ever since then the snow has been melting creating water slides like you have never seen before! I recently went to blizzard beach a Disney water park with some of the best slides in the world. It is a place for the whole family an adventure you will never forget. Blizzard beach has some has some of the best slides in the world. These include a slide that reaches 55mph in less than 3 seconds. More over there is one of the longest family river rapids in the world and for those who just like to lie Down a relaxing lazy river, all with a touch of Disney magic. Whats more one of my favorite slides is the taboggen races...

blizzard beach water park

Advantages: great for family's, fun day
Disadvantages: the climb's

...Having been to blizzard beach twice now its one of those parks that will always be in your top 4 The park is set out as though it's just been hit by a massive snow storm with plastic snow all around but do not fear, no chance of being cold with the florida heat .Its a great place to visit for any couple or family. Now with this park being set on mount gushmore you may think of lots of walking is true but you may want to take the chairlift which takes to right the top ready to come back down in a rather different fashion lol.Having said that it's a great way to check out the park . PRICES: On what i recall it was about $35 adult not much difference for any child over 3 but under 3's were free of charge.Always good to purchase a ultimate park pass, which with us just buying some due to us returning next year it cost about £180 per...

KEF IQ9 Speakers

Advantages: Excellent sound quality at all frequencies, well built and good looking
Disadvantages: Would be imposing in a small room

...Bought my KEF IQ9s a year ago to replace my ageing Mission bookshelf speakers, and am still loving them. They are driven by my Mission Cyrus 2 Amp and are used to play a wide range of music mostly rock and pop both from CD and records . Having tested the IQ range these were undoubtedly the best from bass through mid range to treble, and for sound quality, performing well at low, as well as higher, volumes. I could have saved £150 and bought the next model down but I knowI would have regretted it. They are handsome and stylish floor standing speakers, all of the KEF IQ range are available in a range of three different veneers to suit your style. Apart from extracting them from the packaging (I had to crawl into the box to get them out), they were easy to set up and have been totaly reliable since purchase. A year on - not a single...

Relax or Not at Blizzard Beach, Orlando

Advantages: Caters for all ages, states of mind and levels of bravery
Disadvantages: Closes in "bad" weather

...Blizzard Beach - Orlando If you fancy a rest from the Theme Parks, Blizzard Beach water park is highly recommended. You can do this park at your own pace. You can either lie back and give yourself (and your wallet) a well earned break, then take a pleasant float around lazy river; or you can seek out more thrills by braving the Summit Plummit. The park has something for everyone. There is a special area for smaller children with a number of water slides to keep them occupied whilst you relax. There are also a large number of water slides catering for all levels of bravery. The food court was excellent and the staff were friendly and efficient. The only downside to the park is that it will close in poor weather. Unfortunately, the Floridian definition of poor weather is different from that of most Europeans i...

Review of Blizzard Beach, Florida

Listen to my 18 months experience with Mini IQ

Advantages: none I can think of
Disadvantages: The whole scheme

...I am very pleased that Mini IQ has been reviewed on Ciao because there is a lot to be said about it and this is a good way to say it. As has been commented on in other reviews, Mini IQ is a party style sales company retailing in books for children. The company itself is a very small operation which buys, stocks, and supplies books. The books are supplied to independent associates who are self employed and sell them on directly to customers. To encourace associates, Mini IQ offers a 25% discount on all products and also pays sales bonuses to individual associates in relation to personal and team sales volumes. Associates are therefore rewarded for having a large number of personal sales, and a large number of team sales, which correspondingly reflects a large team. The company has been operating for around 2 years. I was...

Review of Mini-IQ - Fun, Educational Children

Mini IQ needs you

Advantages: profitable for those who got in early enough
Disadvantages: its MLM, what more is there to say?

...more than you need Mini IQ. If you are ever approached by a Mini IQ associate to hold a book party, read on. Equally, if you are ever approached by a Mini IQ associate to join Mini IQ as an associate, read on.... Why not to host a Mini IQ party? 1. because most of the products available in the Mini IQ catalogue are cheaper elsewhere. Those products that are not available elsewhere (so-called "exclusives") are overpriced by virtue of the fact that there is no competitor selling them. In conclusion, go to Waterstones, Blackwells, Amazon or booksfirst.co.uk 2. because, without knowing it, you will be allowing the Mini IQ company to take advantage of the Mini IQ associate who presents at the party. Yes - that's right - taking advantage. For more information on this, see "Why not to become a Mini IQ Associate" below. 3. because...
