Review of True Colours - High Contrast

Contrast

Advantages: Will make you think
Disadvantages: Will make you think

...This is a poem I wrote when I was about 16 years old, and so it is evident of the angst of that age. Mind you, it is over 12 years old. Contrast Life. Death. To know One is to know both Yet neither is ultimate. The culmination of Life as it whispers And Death as it listens. (c) 1992 Stephanie McLain Okay, so it isn't that deep. It is, kinda. I guess it really depends on your perspective. You have to keep in mind that this is a poem. Not a traditional poem, granted, no rhyming, more like haiku. Hey, that's a thought. Lets all do Ciao Haiku. No, better not. Anyway, questions? Comments? Thoughts? So, anyway, here is your contrast for today. Think about it, okay? And I would REALLY like some feedback. Yeah, it's okay, but what do you REALLY think?...

Review of Poetry

Beautiful contrasts

Advantages: Beautiful landscapes
Disadvantages: Water not very clear

..., the mission is more than accomplished. The production of wine labelled "Vin de Pays d'Oc" or "Vin de Pays des coteaux du Salagou" is now a reality. The river Herault doesn't over flow with the same ease as it did in the past, and the lake itself has become a major attraction for a variety of sports and leisures, attracting the locals as well as tourists. The new stretch of the A75 Motorway which links Paris to the Millau viaduct, down to the Mediteranean and the Spanish border, is just 5 kilometres away from the lake. What you must know about the Salagou Lake is that it is absolutely unique. The contrast between the water, the earth and the sky is superb. Geologically rich, the "ruffe", as the soil around the lake is called locally, is of an argillaceous composition with iron oxides. This makes the lake side a deep red ochre colour which...

Review of Salagou Lake, Languedoc, France

Stark Contrast

Advantages: Stylish; Matt Screen, Good Connectivity; Tidy Remote; HD-Ready
Disadvantages: Dodgey contrast enhancement

...(and the associated big prices). After a quick rethink we decided to stick to our guns and plumped for the Samsung. After all, it had so many logos on it claiming support for this, that and the other that it must be future proof! Among it's boasts are HD-readiness, SRS Surround sound Samsungs Digital Processing technology and a 3,000:1 contrast ratio - unprecedented for an LCD screen. We'd seen it on TV and allegedly, it's better to have one of these to watch the football on than it is to actually be there. Or so some mug in an advertising company believes. In fairness, it is an extremely attractive TV. The high-gloss black frame with deep-purple insert underneath looks very classy. The base is unobtrusive and it stands elegantly from a singly pillar (assuming you don't wall-mount it). The single round power button with discrete LED...

Contrasts and Meaning...

Advantages: Interesting plot and characters
Disadvantages: -

...through politics, personal strife and decision-making, and the beginnings of revolution, climaxing with Billy putting his words into action and suffering a martyr's fate trying to get Sukarno's attention for the suffering poor, and Jill and Guy making a mad dash for the airport before the runways are closed. Those of us with benefit of hindsight know that Guy could have stayed, the communist PKI in fact did not succeed, and he could have continued to write articles and make a mark. But that would not have been as romantic. This movie is one of contrasts--the elegance of a British Embassy cocktail party contrasted with the poverty of the native Javanese; the cooperation of Billy against the ignoring of the other professionals; the native spirituality (which isn't exploited nearly enough) against the materialistic West (made worse when...

Review of The Year of Living Dangerously

Counting, colours and contrasts!

Advantages: fun game for young children
Disadvantages: none

...and also by seeing his endorsement you know that it's not just a rip off on his book. The game is described as 'a game of Counting, Colours and Contrasts'. The aim of the game is for players to move their caterpillar around the board, feeding it on the way, so that by the time it reaches the finish it will have turned into a butterfly! The game is quite easy to set up although the first time you do have to make up some small caterpillar trays in which to collect the food. There is also a spinner to make up too but both of these are really very simple. The board is very bright and colourful with a stepping stone path that all the players have to follow. Every so often there is a feeding station where you can collect foods - these are divided up into fruit, picnic foods and a leaf - all the things that the caterpillar munches away at in...

Review of Paul Lamond Games Very Hungry Caterpillar Game

Rhodes - An Island of Contrasts

Advantages: Extremely varied - something for just about everyone.
Disadvantages: Not sure how easy it would be for disabled travellers.

...and various exhibitions of art and photography. It is a beautiful, peaceful place to visit and you will also find a beach suitable for bathing and sunbathing. Secondly, a day of driving through the green and mountainous areas of the north and west of the island. The small villages which appear so sleepy in the sunshine are home to local people who love and work with the land to cultivate the most delicious produce. If you hire a car and get out-and-about do not miss the opportunity to stop at the roadside stalls and sample some of the local honeys, wines and fruit. How these peaceful days contrast with time spent in Rhodes Town which pulsates with life. This is not merely a tourist city of course. Yes, tourism is the largest industry here, but in the daytime you will find the coffee bars packed with many local people taking a break from their...

Don't Let Those MFers Sleep

Advantages: Bangers throughout
Disadvantages: A couple of mildly-effective elements

...?Tough Guys Don?t Dance? came as the third album from the Welsh Drum & Bass producer High Contrast. The 2007 one came as a breakthrough record for him as he finally had the ability to take his sound beyond the typical fan base and explore it further with his soulful style. 1. ?If We Ever? You have him kicking off the album in the best way possible with what was the biggest single from the album. It has him showing the power of his beats with one which has the whole thing centred around one of the most empowering breaks you find in the D&B world,. It was a club banger of its time, and sets things up nicely for the future. **Five Stars** 2. ?Everything?s Different? As it moves on a little, you see that You find that the local Jazz singer Ian Shaw joins him by assisting on the vocals to give the music that little extra something has...

Review of Tough Guys Don't Dance - High Contrast

A town of contrasts

Advantages: Lots to do
Disadvantages: Some steep areas

...The Isle of wight is one of my most favourite places in Great Britain and within the Island, Shanklin is one of the nicest towns to visit. It is made up of diffrent contrasting areas. There is the 'Old Shanklin', which has picturesque thatched cottages and gift shops selling lots of unusual gifts. The newer part of Shanklin consists of a main street with modern day shops and shopping opportunities. The beach is on a lower level than the town area and this can be accessed by either a slopped walkway, steps or a lift. The beach is clean and during the summer months, there are activities such as beach trampolining to keep children amused. There are several amusement arcades along the sea front. Shanklin chine is well worth a visit and can either be accessed from the lower beach section of Shanklin, or from the old town. The chine either...

Review of Shanklin - Isle of Wight (England)

An Island of Contrasts

Advantages: Climate and very friendly people
Disadvantages: Can be hassled and internal travel is difficult unless you fly

...Jamaica, one of the most alluring of the Caribbean islands, lives as a tourist brochure cliché of tropical scenery and shimmering beaches. Its sunsets provide the backdrop for many a romantic picture and the reported laid back nature of the locals with a ready smile and quick wit portray a happy-go-lucky island. Jamaica is everyone's island in the sun. Unlike its neighbours who cater mainly for the rich and famous Jamaica really is somewhere for everyone. From the private villa with its guarded private beach to the non-stop party resorts where the beach is a party and the water rum Jamaica really caters for all-comers. Go to be pampered at a spa or be adventurous in the mountains, find a B&B by the road or an all-inclusive, the choice is there for the taking. The contrasts are not only to be found in the types of traveller to...
