A Personal Assistant For Your Pocket

Advantages: Good Battery Life, Huge Range Of Features, Great Camera
Disadvantages: Touchscreen Scratches Easily, Texting can be wearisome

... Introduction It?s very difficult for me to cover all aspects of this phone in a short review. So I decided to break it down into sub sections in the hope that you find it helpful. Camera The camera is great on this phone, and can even compete with some stand alone digital cameras. The zoom isn?t bad, but a lot of the quality is lost. There are a lot of features on the camera mode, including novelty frames, on phone photo editing and a panorama setting. I recently took my Viewty to Brands Hatch, and it coped similarly to the Canon Ixus that I decided to take also. The only downside that I can comment on is a problem that occurs with most camera phones. Due to the shakiness, some of the photos can be slightly blurred. Layout I have found the interface very easy to use, and it obviously has been designed to be used in...

Review of LG Viewty KU990

  Care Assistant jobs.

Advantages: Meet lovely people,rewarding.
Disadvantages: Cleaning up vomit,etc,early mornings,rates of pay.

...for a job as a Carer,I was invited for an informal chat,where basically I spoke with the manager,was told the basic hours I would be working and told to tone down my jewellry! The company understood my studying situation and said whatever hours I would like,I could do. At the time I settled for 15 hours a week. I must state that I personally work as RESIDENTIAL and not NURSING,where there is a vast difference. So what does being a Carer involve? Basically you are there to assist Eldely Clients in their day to day needs and generally trying to make their lives as enjoyable as possible. This involves: Getting them up in the morning. Helping them to wash. Helping them dress. Playing games with them Chatting to them Bathing them Taking them to the toilet Assisting them to the table Feeding them (if needed),and this is to name...

Advantages: Easy Viewing
Disadvantages: No Great Performances, A Bit Forgettable

...Cirque Du Freak ? The Vampires Assistant Cirque Du Freak is a film based on the book series ?The Saga of Darren Shan? written by Darren Shan.

Review of Cirque Du Freak - The Vampire's Assistant (DVD)

The Vampire's Assistant, what a sequel!!

Advantages: anyone of any age can enjoy, gripping storyline
Disadvantages: really difficult to put the book down

...General introduction to the book The vampire's assistant. Part two of the amazing 'Saga of Darren Shan', and the sequel to the excellent 'Cirque du Freak', as the front cover tells us - "Cirque du freak - the nightmare continues..." As we know, this 'nightmare' is what Darren's life is turning into, as at the end of the first book we see Darren having to become a half-vampire as Mr Crepsley's assistant in order to save his best friend Steve Leonard (or as Darren calls him Steve Leopard). He also has to fake his death because he realises he can no longer live a normal human life with the vampiric blood running through his veins. The official introduction at the beginning of the book My name's Darren Shan. I'm a half vampire. I wasn't born that way. I used to be ordinary. I lived at home with my parents and younger sister...

Review of The Vampire's Assistant - Darren Shan

I Cared enough to Assist

Advantages: To know that you have made a real difference to someones life
Disadvantages: Can be sad, depressing and hard work at times

...volatile environment. This is the second chapter in the Kazzie Career series! Read..and enjoy.. I hope! Only put the kettle on, this is a 'longie' that's if Ciao don't do a Deano on me!! Ahh paranoia creeping in mow! (4. Patient has chest pain if she lays on her side for over a year!) After cleaning and buffing and dusting and being a scrubber ;o) for a few years I decided to take the plunge and apply for the job as a temporary Health Care Assistant on a Care Of The Elderly Ward at one of the local hospitals. It was a 3-month contract and I decided that while I was doing this I would gain some experience and join the nurse ‘bank’. So that when it did end if I had not secured a more permanent position in the Trust by then I would be able to work as and when I could get shifts with the ‘bank’. This was April 4...

Bose SoundDock Digital Music System Review

Advantages: Superb Sound, Very Loud, Ideal for Ipods
Disadvantages: not go to travel with, Extremely Expensive

...Bose SoundDock Digital Music System I happened to get this as a gift and it turned out to be quiet interesting Summary: This dock is used mainly for ipod and allows you to connet mp3 players to it and listen to high quality music via speakers. It is idle for homes and small gatherings, although I would not run a party off these. Pros: This system has terrific sound and can go very load despite its relative small size. As with almost all Bose speakers the quality is amazing, so long as the source you are playing it from is high quality it will allow the speakers to each its potential. I have a surround sound Bose set up in one of my rooms but now prefer to use this product as it is very simple to operate. Just plug the mp3 player in and press play and your set. Can't get much simpler. It also runs off a wall...

Review of Bose SoundDock Digital Music System

The Start of The Digital Era...

Advantages: Great Value, Good Features, Fantastic Quality Sound
Disadvantages: Silly Placement of the Mains Plug At The Back

...I have always been a fan of the radio and although I have quite specific music tastes, I enjoy having the variety and general natter of a radio on in the background, especially to reduce boredom or to make a place seem a little more alive when your home alone. The Pure One Digital DAB Radio is the first and only DAB radio I have owned, you?ve got to move with the times right? I had been thinking about purchasing one for a while after hearing good things about this little radio and have now been enjoying it for about 6 months. The Pure One comes in a choice of 3 colours; black, pink and white. I would have loved to have brought the pink one as it?s a cute pastel colour, but opted for the funky and modern white, mainly due to the fact I was planning on using the radio in my office and most of my colleagues already think I?m a bit OTT...

Review of Pure Digital ONE Classic

Digital Retro - A book for old-skool computer fans

Advantages: Background information, scope, photography
Disadvantages: Some machines missing

...with each other the way the ubiquitous PC is today. Anyone who was involved with microcomputers between the golden years of 1975 to around 1990 will remember the intense rivalry. Were you a Speccy fan or a Commodore C64 user? Were you allied to the Atari ST or Commodore Amiga? Did the Atari 800 or Apple II impress you? Digital Retro by Gordon Laing draws on his sadly now finished retro column in PCW magazine and brings together some 44 machines, including key games consoles, that were released between 1975 and 1988. Along the way you can read about the Commodore Pet, BBC Micro, Oric 1 and Dragon 32 as well as lesser known or vaguely remembered machines such as the NASCOM 1, Tangerine Microtan 65, Jupiter Ace and the ill fated Mattel Aquarius which has the dubious distinction of the shortest period on the market, being withdrawn after just 6...

Review of Digital Retro - Gordon Laing

The ups and downs of life as a care assistant

Advantages: Interacting with the residents
Disadvantages: Poor pay

...I work as a care assistant on the dementia (SRC) unit of a residential care home. I've held my current post for a year now, having started off work in the kitchen. On the SRC unit we have 12 residents with varying needs, which is why I find it so interesting and rewarding. There are those who are more aware of their situation and surroundings and only get the odd moment of confusion about what time of day it is, for example, and then there are those who think they are still children and will spend a lot of time looking for their parents. Some experience hallucinations and delusions, thinking their rooms have been bugged or someone is trying to murder them, and others have difficulty communicating - they know what they want to say, but the wrong words come out and us carers have to try and decipher what they are meaning...

Review of Health Care Assistant

Canon IXUS 95 IS: The best amateur digital camera on the market

Advantages: Very high quality pictures for both print and web work.
Disadvantages: The bundled software that comes with it has a very Fisherprice feel about it.

...After reading many reviews on Amazon and amateur camera sites about the different types of hobbyist level digital cameras, I decided to buy one of these. The camera itself has a metal casing and so has a sleek feel and look to it. It's very light weight and compact making it very easy to carry around in a handbag or while, (and most importantly) taking pictures! I found that it took only 5 - 10 minutes to get the camera working from out of the box. It was so simple, I didn't take that much notice of the manual. When starting up the camera, it isn't slow like they digital cameras of yesteryear. Its ability to capture anything in an instant is one of it's many advantages. The photos it and you produce are very high quality, as I found out the other day when I had some printed off at home. The only downside is the bundled software...
