Harmony in the harmonie

Advantages: Comfortable, clean, firndly and helpful staff
Disadvantages: No restaurant available during our stay

...When planning a holiday, accommodation is obviously a major part of the decision. Everyone has different objectives in their selection. For our holiday to Vienna, my husband and I set out wants and needs before scouring around for suitable venues. We decided on Hotel accommodation. Although holidaying in major city, we wanted a quiet place to stay but yet close enough to local amenities to enable easy access. We wanted good quality service with double bed and bath. These were our agreed prior requirements. Obviously travel brochures and Internet sites only provide a limited description and a basic picture, so you take a risk. We came across the Hotel Harmonie, with the following blurb, ?The Harmonie Hotel occupies a quiet location, next to a park belonging to a French secondary school. It is surrounded by some of the main...

Keeping it all in Harmony

Advantages: Location, Pricing, Expert knowledge
Disadvantages: They need a bigger shop

...As some of you may know, I am a keen, if not very skilled musician. I play a wide variety of instruments and it is always good to find a music shop that is a) not too far from home, b) staffed by very knowledgeable and friendly people and c) doesn't charge over the odds for their equipment. A shop that fits this description can be found in the otherwise dull town of Dorchester. In Trinity Street can be found the premises of Harmony Music. Not only do they sell from these premises, but they also maintain an eBay shop. To give an example of why I like them, I visited the shop last Thursday and asked for advice on the purchase of a new amplifier that is more suitable for my new guitar. The owner was adamant that I needed a valve amp, rather than a solid state transistor-based amp. The trouble is that, being mostly hand...

Canon Ixus 100 IS - Small and oh so stylish

Advantages: Small, Stylish, Auto modes work well, Image Stabilization
Disadvantages: HD Video capability is disappointing

...The Canon Ixus 100 IS is the successor to the Ixus 85 IS model, now with 12.1 megapixels instead of the old 10. The 2.5" screen is retained, as is the optical viewfinder and the 3x zoom capability, but the Ixus 100 IS is packed with new features. Video can now be recorded in HD (720p format) and an HDMI port has been added for viewing your pics on the latest HD televisions. The 100 IS also gets a new DIGIC 4 processor, Autofocus Tracking and Auto Scene Detection! The dimensions have changed in proportion, being a whole millimetre wider than its predecessor, another millimetre taller, but 2mm slimmer with an incredible depth of only 18.4mm. The weight stays about the same at less than 130g and, being similar in size to an iPod, it is very easy to carry around in your shirt pocket/handbag. Indeed, the similarity with the iPod doesn...

Southern Harmony And Musical Companion - The Black Crowes

Advantages: soulful,rocky,groovy,stan ds the test of time,definitely their best album to date.Must have!
Disadvantages: Absolutely none!

...I bought this album when I was 13 and have listened to it constantly throughout my life. Its definitely on my desert island disks and totally stands the test of time in terms of playability. I have often tried to decide which one of their albums I like the best and although for me it's always a toss up between this and Shake Your Money Maker, this one always wins. I think the main difference is that they got Marc Ford (fantastic new guitarist) and organist as additions to the band. This seems to fatten out the sound brilliantly. There are some amazing gospel choir sounding backing vocals to many of the songs that tie the theme of the album tightly to its title Southern Harmony, and although the songs are rocky they also have a mellow (almost sexy) feel to them that makes this album so special. The blues style organ elements merge...

brings harmony to your lounge

Advantages: easy to use, beautiful to look at, full of features
Disadvantages: Not always perfect, a bit pricey

...Being an Audio Visual enthusiast and a massive geek, my lounge is stuffed full of all sorts of seperates that require remote controls. From my 7.1 denon amp to my Sony HDD CD player. So a grand total of 5 remote controls had to find a home on the coffee table or bookshelf and it was driving my wife nuts. Especially when she picked the wrong controller and was trying to turn the TV up with the DVD remote. If you had more than one piece of equipment on, its a pain to have to use multiple controllers to turn them off or simply adjust settings. For a long while I'd wanted a remote to do it all, more so though, I wanted one with a touch screen. After all, who doesn't love touch screen? So, I did a little research on the the internet and surfed over to www.avforums.com amoung other sites. The logitech harmony range had rave reviews...

Harmony Health & Beauty

Advantages: Good prices, open 7 days
Disadvantages: 1 therapist

...I recently tried out this Health and Beauty Salon in Swiss Cottage...except it's not actually in a salon. Upon arriving at Harmony for my massage, I quickly realised that it was set up in someone's home. At first I was a little uncomfortable and unsure about this but soon after arriving and meeting my therapist, and seeing that the house was spotless and looked quite professional, I felt quite at ease. My friend and I actually made an appointment to try out a Stone Massage, obviously because there were 2 of us, we were hoping to have our appointments at the same time, no-one wants to hang around and wait in someone's living room for an hour for their turn. So straight up, I thought Bugger!! We quickly changed our massge time to just the half an hour each. This was the first time I had tried Stone Massage and I have to say, I...

100 Reviews = 100 Questions? Perhaps.

Advantages: There are some brilliant songs in there...
Disadvantages: I ramble on for too long about nothing of any interest...but please read anyway!

...Hello all of you lovely Ciaosters - and Mizzaholics alike - and welcome to my 100th review! Quite an achievement, I must say, because my attention span isn't exactly great *walks off to look at an invisible butterfly* Point taken? Anyway - I figured that since this is my 100th review, it would be nice to do the 'Reveal Yourself In 100 Questions' task. Some of these answers might be slightly bizarre but I hope that you'll have read some of my previous things so that you know exactly what to expect...sort of... This review is only slightly longer than many of my others *coughIrambleonalotcough* but please enjoy this Q&A session at your own leisure. There are youtube links along with way to enhance your reading pleasure so I hope you make good use of them. Thank you. Without further ado, let me introduce to you... 1 - First Name...

For those about to rock... use a DSL100!

Advantages: It's a Marshall, amazing sound, can adapt to many situations, professional build, easy tube access
Disadvantages: Shared EQ for both channels, stock tubes slightly dull (subjective though), spring reverb limited

... The Overview The DSL100 is part of Marshall's JCM2000 series. As you might expect, high-end amplifiers like this are not a matter taken lightly by any amp manufacturer, as they are expected to be used by some huge, successful artists. Therefore, Marshall has ensured a quality design from start to finish in terms of the actual build of the DSL100; and there are no issues worth noting about the actual construction of the amp head. The casing is tough, the pots, the inputs and outputs are all high quality, and the switches won't die on you anytime soon. The finish is undoubtedly professional-looking. As one of the leading manufacturers of guitar amplification in the world, Marshall just couldn't afford to make this unit anything short of a high standard. All this is just as far as the construction itself goes, though-so how does...

  Investing in the FTSE 100 Index

Advantages: Cheap products, easy to invest in, good dividend yield, unlike shares in a company will never go bust
Disadvantages: Index concentrated in 10 companies meaning more risk, not for ethical investors, sensitive to oil prices

...Using a trading strategy I have been investing in the FTSE 100 index for the past 9 months. Personally I think the FTSE 100 index is a good place to invest for stockmarket novices and veterans alike. There are many different products that allow you to gain some kind of exposure to the index, which is made up to the 100 largest companies in the UK. In this review I will cover the following in regard to the FTSE 100 index: - What is the FTSE 100 index and what are the main constituents - Products that can be used to trade in the FTSE 100 index - Methods for trading in the FTSE 100 index - My personal view on the current value of the index What is the FTSE 100 index and what are the main constituents The FTSE 100 index is like a barometer that is used to measure the value of the top 100 companies listed on the London...
