Awesome Orion 32" LCD

Advantages: Sharpness, Quality Picture
Disadvantages: None

...Product: 32? LCD television Make: Orion Features: HD Ready Price: Varied Introducing of Orion I?ve had the Orion 32? LCD Television for quite some years now, and I must admit, it is some monster of a T.V. I love sitting in my comfy chair, a beer in one hand and watching Manchester United play on the big screen. In my house it feels like being in a pub, I?ve got the bar and the 32? LCD, so I can get a drink whenever I feel, and I have a free front row seat in front of the big screen. In some ways, my house is better then the local boozer, even though I love going to the pub, because you can meet up with friends, be sociable, and the atmosphere is good. There?s just sometimes, where I have decided to stay in and watch the football, I find it better to invite your mates around and sit in front of your own big 32? T...

Review of Orion TV32082

Almost star quality from Orion

Advantages: Reasonably priced from a reputable manufacturer
Disadvantages: LCD picture quality can be poor when viewing from certain angles

...we don't watch a huge amount of television in the bedroom, I didn't lean towards any particular manufacturer as I might have done if I were buying a new main television set for the living room. I was also just looking for a portable TV in the region of a 19 or 20 inch screen. Having checked the local retailers, and compared prices online, the best I could find for our circumstances was a digital LCD made by Orion. To give it it's full name: an Orion TV 19PL110D. If you've ever bought an LCD or plasma television from Toshiba or Sharp, the chances are it was manufactured by Orion as it happens to be one of the world's largest OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) of televisions We chose this model because out of all the televisions in this size, this particular model had the best overall technical specifications. For instance...

Review of Orion TV-19 PL 110 D

Ford orion

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: none

...When I was younger I always wanted to own a Ford Orion ( I know I was young and wisdom comes with age). When I passed my driving test I knew what would be my first car, with £3000 to spend off I went, and came back with a D reg Ford Orion 1.6i turbo, I loved it . Over the next year or so I added a body kit, alloy wheels and various other extras, this car was the dogs bollocks and I would cruise around town getting looks from everybody. Now I am a lot older I look back at that car with some embarassment but also regret that I ever sold it. I have had many cars since then but none hold my affection like my Ford Orion ( your first car always will)....

Samsung NC20 Black

Advantages: Battery life, size and weight
Disadvantages: None so far!

...I have just purchased a Samsung NC20 from Amazon. I originally planned on getting the NC10 after reading lots of fantastic reviews, but I was apprehensive about the size, being approx 10" screen. Anyway I heard about the NC20, and after seeing a HP notebook of the same size, I decided to wait for that instead... Amazon have had the white version in stock for a few weeks, but the Black one only came in this week. Customer service was excellent, I ordered on Wed evening, but due to a problem with my card, the order only went through at 6.30pm on Thursday...it was then delivered at 8.30am on Friday!!! That's what I call express service! The cost was about £375, so it's not the cheapest on the market, but the reviews of the NC10 swayed me in spending a little extra. Anyway I've been pretty much glued to it ever since...

The Ford Orion - No Longer With Us, Thank God!

Advantages: Comfortable, Spacious, Cheap spares
Disadvantages: Dodgy high-speed handling, Poor starting, Corrosion in vital areas

...I bought a ten-year old Orion Ghia 1.6 in 1996, after many years of hatchback ownership. Obviously, it was a second car as I could not risk having a Ford as my one and only vehicle. The car felt good, solid and comfortable so I bought the Orion (60,000 on the clock) for £750. The problems I inherited with the car were a non-functioning electric window switch (cured with a dose of WD40) and some ancient and rock-hard front tyres, which scared the life out of me the first time I stood on the brakes.The front wheels locked solid sending the car screeching down the road in a cloud of smoke. It was either get some new tyres or look around for a decent life insurance policy - the tyres won the day. The car turned out to be reliable, except in the area of early morning and, occasionally, hot starting. I did develop various start...

Mapex Orion Classic Drumkit

Advantages: Superb Quality & Build
Disadvantages: Quite expensive and not for beginners!

...Orion Classic was sat right at the back gleaming under the spotlights. The kit included: 22 x 18 Bass Drum (with retractable spurs) 16 x 13 Rack Tom 14 x 11 Rack Tom 12 x 9 Rack Tom 10 x 8 Rack Tom 14 x 5.5 Black Panther Snare All made from all Maple shells with outer Birdseye veneer (Antique Ivory) I managed to get the set for £1,400 as at the time they were retailing at £2,000 so it was well worth the purchase! The kit jumped right out and just looked the business. It has a lot of quality extras compared to the average kit. Mapex have put a lot of thought into the designing of this kit, for example the lugs on the bass drum are all protected by outer metal protection so that they will not get damaged/bent if the kit was to get bumped when taking in and out of a car. The mounts both for the cymbals and the toms come...

Ford Orion 1.3 1989/1990

Advantages: Larger than Escort, Cheap to run and maintain
Disadvantages: underpowered, usual old age rust problems.

...and space. Roof racks could be fitted and infact I managed to fit, myself, partner, 2 kids and a 5 man canvass tent with all accessories for 2 weeks camping trip. The car has no special gadgets with mainly all mechanical parts, this made things easier for me fault diagnosis was easier. The interior was standard as for an escort/orion, grey/brown materials with grey carpet, standard foam seats, no air bags, no power steering. Just plain and simple mechanics. All in all, I liked this car even with the problems I had. If you are looking for a cheap family car with a secure boot space then this would be for you. Be prepared to put up with basic upholstery and features....

Orion TV37RN10D

Advantages: Price and features
Disadvantages: remote control

...I brought this set about 2 months ago and cannot fault it, i have it wall mounted in my games room, linked up to the ps3 and xbox 360 the picture is fantastic for an entry price point TV. This is my second Orion set and i cant fault them. I have always usually stuck with high branded products but as it was not my main tv i went for something slightly cheaper. I have to say my friend has a sony set and even he thinks the picture on the Orion is better. · Integrated digital tuner (DVB-T) to receive Freeview · HD Ready · Brightness 500 cd/m2 · Contrast ratio: 1200:1 · NICAM stereo sound · Teletext / Digital text · PAL / SECAM compatible · Accepts NTSC signals through the inputs · 2 x HDMI sockets · Component video inputs · PC input (with accompanying audio input) · 2 SCART sockets · S-Video input · AV inputs...

20 Fragments of a Ravenous Youth: Bittersweet.

Advantages: Realistic, enjoyable, bittersweet.
Disadvantages: Too short, some undeveloped characters, culture differences.

...Written by Xiaolu Guo. 204 pages in paperback. Written in first person. Young Adult + Can be bought new and used for £3+ on ebay.co.uk and new for £4.99 at amazon.co.uk. After finding a copy of A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers in a nearby bookshop and being told it was a good read by others I decided to buy it, and then I discovered I'd left my wallet in my other coat. A few months later after forgetting to come back to that bookshop and buying that book I discovered 20 Fragments of a Ravenous Youth in my local library, naturally I picked it up so I could finally see how good of an author Xiaolu Guo was and see whether or not I should go look for the other books she has written. I can tell you now that I am planning on looking for a copy of her other works, she's brilliant. Fenfang has left the slow and boring...

Dr. Greenthumbs Gives You That 20/20

Advantages: A couple of bangers
Disadvantages: Inconsistent

..."20/20" came out in 2006 as the fourth album from the California Hip Hop group, Dilated Peoples. The band consist of Rakaa Iriscience, Evidence and DJ Babu, the latter two of which are both producer (although Evidence raps and does the beats interchangeably). Dilated are quite alternative and so contrast quite genreally from the rest of the West Coast scene as they fit in more closely to the work of locals Jurassic 5, than the Gangsta rappers who dominate this side of the US (in terms of Hip Hop music). 1. "Green Trees" (Intro) 2. "Back Again" This is the lead single to the album and stood as a great follow-up to their 2004 collaboration with Kanye in a track called "This Way". Here you get them alongside The Alchemist and B-Real as they flow with great confidence whilst trying to show how well-developed their raps are. **Five...
