Life On The Edge

Advantages: Makes for lighter work
Disadvantages: None at all

...I have had to give in and buy a pair of long handled edging shears, for as long as I can remember I have always knelt down to trim the edges of my lawn but lately I have found that the constant pressure on my knees and back means that I am taking more than my fair share of Ibuprofen which is not a good thing. After scouring the local garden centres and hardware stores I then took a look at the prices on the Internet, Garden suppliers wanted just over £30 for the Wilkinson's Sword edging shears, a seller on eBay was asking just under £30 and good old Amazon was offering the edging shears for just £27.50 ? so no contest, the deal on the Amazon website won hands down. The Wilkinson's Sword edging shears measure thirty nine inches from the tip of the handles to the bottom of the blades, this allows you to cut your lawn edging...

Journey To The Edge

Advantages: Fantastic and unique plot, excellent characters, extremely stylish
Disadvantages: Some might find it a little complicated

...Striking. That's the word that Anna Franklin's best friends use to describe her appearance when she goes missing and it also describes Mapping The Edge perfectly. The most striking thing about this novel is that it's a thriller in two parts: when Anna goes missing, there are two versions of what happens to her. Anna goes missing when visiting Florence, without telling her best friends (Stella, who lives in Amsterdam, and Paul, who's the gay surrogate father to her daughter) and her daughter, Lily. Stella flies to Anna's London home to take care of Lily and attempt to contact Anna, facing the possibility that Anna might not come home. Dunant focuses on the horror of missing people by telling Stella's side of the story in the first person, rather than Anna's. She disproves the old adage that ignorance is bliss as Stella and Paul...

Review of Mapping the Edge - Sarah Dunant

Mirror's Edge - To fly is to be human

Advantages: Great experience, great graphics, good plot.
Disadvantages: Short plot, no multiplayer, no real depth.

...as families became engrossed in a little tube machine in the late 1930's called "television", our ability to focus entirely in one view has improved dramatically. No longer is the facility of the hunter restricted to Neanderthal men who search for their prey like little hyenas, now women AND children have the capacity to indulge in one angle alone. So like many other first-person games, Mirror's Edge places you behind the eyes of a, fairly sexy, protagonist with the agility of a ninja and a pigeon's playground of buildings and cranes. What makes the experience visceral is the inclusion of your hands and feet, the tools of your trade as a free runner carrying explicit messages and avoiding (or battling) the dystopian police that enforces totally control over all communications and dispell dissident practices. You feel the effects as you...

Cycling on the Edge

Advantages: Many many functions, training centre info
Disadvantages: Info overload, price, rubbish standard map

...My other half is what you'd call a keen cyclist - he cycles about 25 miles a day commuting to work, and frequently goes on weekend training rides too. He's got a couple of cycle computers that show things like the time, distance, speed, and similar, but had been hankering after a Garmin cycle computer to replace them ever since he found out about them! Finally, he took the plunge and shelled out £250 on the Garmin Edge 305 with cadence and heart rate monitor (cadence is RPM for your feet while pedalling, by the way). It arrived a couple of weeks ago and after playing with it for a short while was promptly installed on one of his bikes. The 305 does absolutely tons of different stuff, and to be honest to me seemed to measure more things than you could possibly ever want to know about your riding speed and style. Heart rate monitor...

Chicago Town Edge to Edge Thin Crust - New York Deli

Advantages: Tasty Toppings, top quality thin crust, mouthwatering box
Disadvantages: pricey (for frozen pizza) a bit greasy maybe?

...As far as frozen pizza's go its hard to find a tasty winner as everyone knows, especially with deep pan, which unfortunatly is my personal choice of pizza, so anyways, on a trip to my local tesco i seen a fancy offer on the chicago town edge to edge thin crust pizzas, 2 for £4, which is still a bit pricey, but what the hell, the box looked cool, and as a typical shopping pigeon i fell for it and bought it, even though im a deep pan man the thin base picture on the box looked good, so heres my review. First of all, unboxing, as you can see from the pics the box is nice and fancy looking, but we all know the pizza never looks like the pic on the box....but to my suprise it didnt look TOO bad, decent amount of toppings, and big chunky ones at that too, mushrooms where HUGE as with the onions, and a good balance, oven had been preheated to...

Review of Chicago Town Edge to Edge

Mirrors Edge

Advantages: Nice effort at a new concept
Disadvantages: Riddled with bugs and flaws

...Mirrors Edge is a fine game, Don't let me say it's not. But Mirrors Edge is a perfect example of a good game overcome with flaws. The idea and plot are original and very compelling, the kind of plot that would make a good movie and gameplay that challenges the tide of mainstream mediocrity that is poured forth from Game manufacturers these days. The first Person aspect Of the game is a welcome break; such games that allowed such ranges of movement include Assassins Creed, notably a third person experience. Mirrors edge made the brave attempt to put their game into first person to make the experience more personal, to put the player in the characters shoes. However this bravery is not without its problems, occasionally you will be faced with a nice, free flowing movement area only to jump to a ledge and have to search for your next...

  "Edge"ing your bets.

Advantages: Flexibility, Features, Size, Motivation
Disadvantages: Cost

...attached to the fork and it still had something attached to a spoke and it still counted the number of wheel revolutions. But this time it was electronic rather than mechanical. A wire ran from the sensor on the fork to a display unit on the handlebars and it showed me my current speed as well as the time I'd been traveling and the distance I had covered. A later upgrade dispensed with the wire from the sensor on the fork to the display, relying instead on wireless communications. And then came the Garmin Edge 305. It doesn't have wires. In fact, it doesn't even need a sensor on the wheel - instead it relies on the Global Positioning System of satellites to track your position, distance, speed, time and altitude. But it doesn't stop there. Oh no, that wouldn't be complicated enough for the modern world. Not content with the usual statistics...

Hard Jagged Edge

Advantages: Smooth ballads, Vocals
Disadvantages: A couple of weaker links

...**Introduction** Hard is the fourth album from Jagged Edge released in 2003. The album features collaborations with the likes of Big Boi from Outkast aswell as Street Katz And Woonie on the remix of "They aint J" and Major Damage on Girls Gone Wild. 1. They Ain't JE This is the introduction to the album, the track is about having confidence in yourself that you have something that other people can't offer. As I mention later this original version isnt as good as the remix. That is a shame. 2. Walked Outta Heaven This track has a gorgeous feel to it. It starts softly then the beat comes in and showcases their distinctive Jagged Edge ballad. Superb vocals all around and one of their best songs. The vocal harmonies are amazing. 3. Girls Gone Wild Featuring Major Damage This track is about meeting some girl on spring...

Review of Hard - Jagged Edge

Living Life On The Mirror's Edge!

Advantages: Original Gameplay, Clean And Crisp Visuals And Plenty Of Fun.
Disadvantages: Weak Story, Steep Learning Curve And High Difficulty Level.

...=Mirror's Edge Xbox 360= Are you brave enough to take a leap of Faith into the unknown? *Introduction* Mirror's Edge is an original and unique new title, heavy influenced by both 'Parkour' and 'Free Running'. Parkour (a French word, literally translated means-the art of 'Movement') is a type of urban sport which founding principles are for a human to get from A to B, in the shortest time possible-with no tools. The runners movements are also a huge issue, and 'flowing' is considered a fundamental part of the discipline. It is far better to get from A to B in smooth and rhythmic like motions, then it is to stop, start and not be at all fluent. Parkour is almost always done in a 'urban environment', usually one with small buildings, drain-pipes, steps and several different sized furnishings. Almost anywhere from...

On the Edge

Advantages: Heartwarming, and genuinly likeable.Not your average 'celeb story'
Disadvantages: Need more information on what happened next

...Having been an avid fan of Top Gear, and being just as shocked and worried as many fans of Top Gear were when Richard crashed, i have been wanting to get my hands on this book for a while. I hadnt really heard anything about it, and in my opinion it would just be another standard biography for all those celebs, who in the run up to christmas, need to get a bit more cash in their back pocket. As it was,when i began to read, it did look like it was going to turn into one of the afore mentioned biographys, with details of where they were born, what their parents were like and token tales from their youth. It does twist, however, into the story surrounding Richards high profile crash and the effect it has on his family and those that surrounded him. I thought that i knew most of the story from what was portrayed in the media, but that...
