The Ex Factor

Advantages: tastes of chocolate, they work
Disadvantages: could appeal to children, abuse

...Laxative abuse has been a part of my life for around three years now. It first started when I read about the effects of the product in a certain celebrity's autobiography, and from that moment I knew it was something I wanted to try. So I did. And I loved the effects. Now I say 'loved', but perhaps that word is too strong. It became an addiction, the central point of abuse within my eating disorder. I couldn't live without them... Laxatives help the bowel movement, generally taken when one is suffering from constipation. Often they can be prescribed if constipation or poor bowel movement is severe, though more often than not you can pick up an effective option on the shelves in supermarkets and chemists. Among other top brands such as Calfig, you will find Ex-Lax. Ex-Lax Senna Chocolate Laxatives come in a little cardboard packet...

The Ex Factor

Advantages: easy to read
Disadvantages: a bit predictable

...As the old song goes ?Breaking up is hard to do?. Edward Middleton, the her of ?The Ex Boyfriend's handbook? by Matt Dunn can certainly sympathize with this. After over a decade together his girlfriend Jane has suddenly upped and left him to find herself in Tibet for three months taking most of the furniture from their flat with her. She suggests he refinds himself as he's become stuck in a rut and ?let himself go so she's letting him go?. Edward has three months to sort himself out and regain the love of his life. Can he do it? Thus is the beginning of a fairly enjoyable e comic romp through blokiness, speed dating and make overs with some nice poignant moments. Set in contemporary trendy Brighton (which is very recognisable and accurate from the three days I have spent there) the Ex Boyfriend's Handbook is a slice of ?lad lit...

Deus Ex

Advantages: Gameplay, diversity, replay value
Disadvantages: Graphics

...Deus Ex is set in 2052 though this year is not revealed in the game it is revealed in the sequel. You are a UNATCO (United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition) agent improved by the use of nano-augmentation. The Grey Death, an infectious disease, is slowly wiping out the population and there is a limited supply of the vaccine. This limited supply means only those deemed to be of use are receiving it i.e. government personnel, scientists, the influential rich etc. As you may have guessed, the people on the ground are far from happy about this, rioting has become commonplace and terrorists are on their side. UNATCO exists to enforce peace. This game does not have one simple plot, there are many detailed subplots which keep the players interest throughout the entire game. Keeping in line with this, the game has more than one possible ending...

Deus Ex-cellence !

Advantages: Immersive gameplay thats well balanced, fantastic missions, amazingly well made in every aspect !

There's Tipp-ex on my monitor!!

Advantages: Does the job fantastically
Disadvantages: A dying breed?

...With the dawn and progression of the digital and electronic era, the pressures on the very existence of some things have increased. With e-books becoming a trendier and more hassle free way of reading, libraries are seeing drops in the number of users...in some cases. But what about office stationery such as Tipp-ex? Surely, with the need for writing on paper reducing more and more every moment, Tipp-ex is also a threatened product. Right? Well, there is a lot to be said about this, and I suppose in a way I'm not aiming to discuss the future of a product such as Tipp-ex. When the Germans bought the formula for its creation in the 1960s, they gave it its name and started mass marketing it. Getting its name from the German for 'type', with the 'ex' part signifying 'no more', Tipp-ex is basically a white fluid that is traditionally...

Review of Tipp-Ex Rapid Fluid

Tipp-Ex out your Mistakes!

Advantages: can correct large areas
Disadvantages: can be messy

...TIPP-EX **WHAT IS IT** Tipp-Ex is a correction fluid which will cover any mistakes you have made. You can sort of paint over the mistake with your Tipp-ex and then write over it so you will no longer see the mistake you have made. It can be used over many different surfaces as long as the Tipp-ex will stick to it and the surface is white although the main use is for paper so it is very popular in offices and for school work. **PACKAGING** It comes in a white tub which is plastic. On the front there is the Tipp-ex sign in red and the front label is blue. It has a picture of the applicator on the front as well. On the back there are details about the product in English and another language. There is also a flammable sign in yellow. To open the product you screw the applicator off and there will be a stick with a foam...

The Yamaha EX7 Workstation Synthesizer experience

Advantages: Versatile, Endless potential, timeless, a very powerful instrument
Disadvantages: Can take a while to learn

... My experience I have been using my EX7 now for over eleven years and I can hand on heart say its the best single piece of music equipment / instrument that I have ever placed my hands on or heard. In 1997 when I first bought it, it was top of the line except for the flagship model (The EX5) which had a full sized keyboard with fully weighted keys and a VL acoustic synthesizer built in. The quality of the sounds on this are in most cases so realistic that its impossible to tell the difference with the right use of effects. Compared to other synthesizers in its generation and even now, the quality is unbeatable even 11 years on. I once had a Yahama CS2X and the difference between the quality in voices on that and the EX is in a completely different class. This instrument is perfect for performances or even writing songs from...

Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 an excellent buy

Advantages: Produces a really good quality picture
Disadvantages: Expensive and sometimes struggles in low light conditions

Nvidia Quadro2 EX & ProE

Advantages: Resolution
Disadvantages: struggle at times in PRO-E when you have a part with lots of faces and edges mainly around the fillets

...Nvidia Quadro 2 MXR/EX 32MB AGP 4x I haven't had any major problems with my graphics card. It does tend to struggle at times in PRO-E when you have a part with lots of faces and edges mainly around the fillets (rounded edges). The model becomes transparent in these areas and looks rubbish. I use print screen quite a lot to get images out for reference purposes or for design reviews and that doesn't look good when I do that. The resolution is more than enough I can get this card to go down to: 1600 x 1200 and I do use this facility sometimes if it's a big assembly then maybe a higher resolution would be good but I wouldn't use that very much. I don't know whether this problem is associated with the graphics card but I get terrible colour differences between my screen and printouts. I also find when I'm moving large...
