FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

For All Te Totallers...

Advantages: Good colour and texture, smells lovely, enhances colour
Disadvantages: Expensive for what it does

...Seeing as my hair is now at the stage where it needs a complete rest from dyeing, I have been on the lookout for alternative ways of keeping my red colour a little bit longer. Therefore, when I saw The Big W had a sale on recently, I was happy to snap up this product for half price. (Expect to pay between £3 and £4 for a 250ml bottle normally.) Te Tao has been a well-known range for quite a while now, but it wasn’t one I had ever tried, feeling the products were rather over-priced. They do a range of shampoos for various hair types (see www.tetao.com for further details) but this one caught my eye because it is a deep, dark orange-red colour and had the word ‘henna’ in it. As you probably know, henna has been used for centuries to dye hair in a more natural way than using bleaches and chemicals. The full name...

Review of Te Tao Warm Henna Red Shampoo

Feeling lucky? Try the TE 770.

Advantages: Excellent highly defined display. Good for the price.
Disadvantages: Can develop faults over time.

...Earlier this year, lacking the funds for a fancy flat screen TFT or LCD monitor to replace my 4 year old Dell monitor I decided to opt for the Relisys TE 770 model CRT model. Having never even heard of the brand name before, I was rather skeptical. My sole reason for buying the TE 770 was that it was the only black monitor currently on offer in the shop, put simply I wanted my new monitor to compliment my other hardware components. Setting the model up was quite easy, a power cable is supplied with the monitor, though you may need some help from another person when lifting the monitor onto a desk or workspace. You do need to plug in two leads, the monitor's input cable, and the power cable. The input cable must be slotted into the American style 3 - pin slot in the back of your tower/ flat case unit. The power cable has two ends...

Review of Relisys TE 770

Te Papa - New Zealand's fun filled museum

Advantages: Fun, educational, entertaining, hands on
Disadvantages: Very big (can't see it all), can't take pictures of exhibits

...Te Papa Tongarewa museum ("Te Papa" or "Our Place" for short) is New Zealand's national museum and is right in the heart of Wellington next to the docks. If you only have time to visit one thing in Wellington, visit Te Papa. Many of the collections are online, so if you can't make it all the way to New Zealand, then have a look at the web pages instead. Originally dating from 1992 (or 1998 for the present incarnation in its iconic building), this is a modern museum suitable for children and adults alike and the exhibits are fun and often interactive, whilst still being educational. Most of the exhibitions are free, but you pay if you want to go on a guided tour. Lifts going to every floor help with accessibility and are useful for everyone - the museum goes up to floor level 7, so we were quite worn out by the end of our trip...

Review of Te Papa Tongarewa (Museum of New Zealand), Wellington

More Te Tao Vicar

Advantages: does what it says, smells lovely
Disadvantages: slightly expensive.

...For as long as I can remember I have been using Head and Shoulders shampoo as I suffer with a dry flaky scalp. This works well, but recently my hairdresser advised me not to use it as often as I do as it was to harsh for me. So over the last week or so I have been searching for a shampoo that wouldn't be has harsh but still gave me the effect of my usual shampoo. I spent ages looking on the shelves and spotted a shampoo that I had seen a while back but never bothered with as I didn't know much about it. WHAT IS IT CALLED? TE TAO (chinese herbal therapy) TEA FOR HAIR This shampoo gently cleanses your hair and regulates dry scalp, so it seemed ideal for what I needed from a shampoo. It contains mild chrysanthemum, lycium berries and eclipta. It cost me £2.99 for a 250ml/8.4floz bottle. This was from Tesco. I started...

Review of Te Tao Tea Tree Shampoo

Kiri, Kiri, Kiri!!

Advantages: Stylish Japanese Horror
Disadvantages: Slow in parts, extreme scenes of torture and horror

..."enough" it went on to a point that could almost be seen as gratuitous. The performances of Ryo Ishibashi and Eihi Shiina are the film's other great asset. Shiina manages to play many overlapping but wildly divergent characteristics brilliantly. The way she sweetly, innocently sings "Kiri Kiri Kiri" ("deeper, deeper, deeper") during one particular scene will stick in my mind for a long time (if you watch you will know why). Summary ------- "Audition" is a well directed, well acted and compulsive piece of cinema. It is a little arty in places and a little slow in other places. However, the slowness of the earlier parts only serve as a stark contrast to the mind spinning finale. As a piece of Japanese horror there are moments where it might remind you of 'Ring' but it is very different in many ways. I found some parts of it near...

Te Tao BODY WASH

Advantages: Unique Smell, leaves you cool and refreshed
Disadvantages: Not moisturising enough. Quite Pricey.Bottle wont last long.

...On a recent shopping trip, I purchases a trial size (125ml) bottle of Te Tao body wash for £1.25. Anyway, before I go into the pro?s and con?s, one simple question: Would I by this product again? Answer: Yes The body wash contains many natural ingredients. The two main ingredients are Chinese angelica, and green tea. The green tea is added to smooth and soften, and to leave a layer on the skin to protect from pollutants. The angelica is an ancient remedy for sluggish circulation flow, so it has a refreshing and revitalising properties. Other ingredients include ginger, cinnamon and sunflower oil. So as you can see, the emphasis is on natural ingredients. This isn?t a surprise, as the Te Tao range are made by Kaun. Kaun was created in 1998 by four women who were inspired by holistic and herbal medicine The product comes in clear...

Review of Te Tao Wild Rice and Oatmeal Body Polish

300TE-24valve. Better than an MPV

Advantages: Space, Pace, Class, built like an outhouse
Disadvantages: Petrol Consumption, hard to find the spec you want

...With the birth of our 4th child last year, I need a car with 6 seats. I had a budget of £6,500. The best MPV i could get for that was a 1993 Renault Espace with a smoky engine, ripped cloth seats and tatty loose fittings. Comparing parts and service prices between that and Mercedes showed very little difference and the Mercedes E Class estate drives an awful lot better. I ended up with a more powerful model than I intended with a 240+ bhp 300TE-24valve Sportline from 1991. This car may be 12 years old now and have 150,000 miles under its belt but when it was new in 1991 it cost over £40,000. It was built well and still has no rattles or squeeks (apart from the baby seat!), cleans up beutifully and does not look its age at all. It has proved relatively reliable, very comfortable, safe, swift and has very low depreciation now. I...
