Creative Live! Cam Video IM - good cam

Advantages: simplicity, price
Disadvantages: none for this price range

...I have received this camera from my parents for my birthday year ago. It's my first camera in whole life and have to tell you that I'm not going to change it. Video resolution 800 to 600 pixels is absolutely fine for having a good videoconference. Does quite well when is dark. Have very interesting software which recognises main point on your faces and thanks to it you can choose a mask, hat, sombrero, moustache or one of huge number of them. They will follow your face. It's a bit fun  Quality of pictures is not great but let's be hones - who is using pc camera to do high quality shoots?? Design is satisfying same way as special stand. Can be placed on top of CRT monitor as well as LCD (that's the one I use). Its good value for money, simply to use and install, Newest software, drivers and masks are available...

The lovely resort of Blanes

Advantages: Hot hot hot cheap cheap cheap
Disadvantages: Touristy

...Waht a superb holiday I had here. I went to Spain in April 1987 with my School on a weeks trip to the costa Brava. Its one of my favourite holidays to this date. I dont remember much about the town but I do remember that there were rocks at one end of the beach and a Tower/castle thing on it. Its ony about an hours drive from Barcalona where we had a great day out. Looked around the fort there. Lovely market too where you can buy your sombrero, donkey or castanettes!!! Did you know that castanettes comes from the Spanish word for Chestnuts??? There is a great aqua park in Blanes for you out there that are more adventurous. You can have a complete spanish holiday with out a go on the kamikaze death slides!!!...

More Specials -The Specials (re-mastered )

Advantages: inteligent varied original
Disadvantages: their last record as a group

...warning set to the tune from a Spaghetti Junction western,and probably defines the spirit of the record more than any other song ,a range of musical styles move the album along from Mexican bar room to the social club disco on "I cant stand it " around the world in a couple of plays ,the sheer variety of form continues on "Holidat Fortnight" a vibrant conga ,evoking the shambles of a Spanish package holiday ,imagine sombrero,s and sunburnt mother in laws and your half way there. The albums most ambitious and stylistically radical track "International Jet Set" almost closes "More Specials",a predominantly instrumental track which once again harks back to the uncomfortable and the nightmarish ,themes which haunt the entire record in one guise or another ,themetically it takes the package holiday a step too far into the realms...

Madrid Airport

Advantages: easy and clean
Disadvantages: more shops needed

...Hand luggage, bottles, fags and the cuddle toy... and the sombrero...Madrid Airport has undertaken a complete transformation over the past two years. I regular travel to the city and have to pass through and sometimes spend hours in it. For a European Capital airport the shops in the terminal are a not a numerous as they could be althogh you do get the normal sunglass, bar and "duty free" shopping experience that most airport give you. The airport is always clean and the staff helpful and you can normally get a seat in one of the lounges. One problem that I did find is that trolleys for hand luggage, bottles, cigarettes and the cuddly toy are few and far between so grab one if you can!! Getting to and from the airport is fairly easy although you have to watch the old taxi drivers who like to overcharge!! - The busses are...

Review of Madrid (MAD)

ADDICTIVE

Advantages: Delicious and addictive
Disadvantages: Highly fattening - no good for dieters

...sombrero or poncho! The tube is capped with a plastic lid and sealed in foil to keep in the freshness. This is great for popping back on and so stopping yourself munching an entire tube in a session ? believe me!! Once you have opened up the Pringle tube ? what do you find ? well 200g of crisps of course! Pringles are uniquely shaped ? not circular as such but with a twist. Absolutely perfect for sliding in their entirety into the mouth. They are also excellent for scooping up dips. Although the marketing people at Pringles have put the dippers range out there to cash in on the love of Pringles and dips. Pringles shaped in the form of a duck billed platypus?s bill! Its originally I?ll give them that! The crisps are thin slices of crisp ? with the sour cream n onion one can visibly see the flavour sitting on the crisp itself. They...

Tekken?! - PSP!

Advantages: Just fantastic!
Disadvantages: Quite a few moves are hard/impossible on the D-Pad!

...completely customize all characters, from sombreros to glowing auras! Tekken Dojo is a rather cool online feature. 'Ghosts' can be downloaded and fought against. These are characters created by other players and hold their traits and move habits. You too can upload your Ghost for others to download! Don't worry if you don't have access to a wireless connection, as there are loads of preset ghosts to fight and work your way up against! Gold Rush is a new mode that has been added, it is you against an opponent until you die! For all of the damage that you do, you gain G. More damage = More G. For those of you that played Tekken Tag Tournament, Tekken Bowl has also made another appearance! The story mode consists of 8 rounds, the last of which is always against Jinpachi Mishima in his fiery form! Upon completing the story mode, you...

Review of Tekken: Dark Resurrection (PSP)

Welcome to Mexico

Advantages: easy and good
Disadvantages: spices

...I like vegetable very much, but avocado… I did not like this one. Its peculiar taste, and its strange aspect. I found it tasteless. How to eat this? I found the answer between margaritas y sombreros. When I went beyond the Atlantic Ocean and on the other side of America, in Mexico, Baja California Sur (in the region of Tijuana). One day in a restaurant, the barman gave us with our drink two plates. The first one contained a green purée, and some red piece. There was triangular corn chips (tortillas) in the second one. I discovered the guacamole. The avocado’s flesh is pound and mixes with tomatoes and onion pieces (sometimes chilli peppers), lemon juice, and for the Mexicans and those who like spices. To eat this purée, you do not need any fork. Your fingers are sufficient, they just have to take a tortilla. It is...

A Luscious Liqueur

Advantages: Tastes gorgeous!
Disadvantages: Can't drink too much of it!

...strong (probably the only down side!) The bottle is brown with a yellow label and an ?imported? sticker on it. The picture on the front is a brown drawing of a quiet Mexican town with a man sitting on the floor, probably asleep (blindo more like!) with a sombrero on his head. On the back of the bottle are 5 recipes to try, I will include some recipes later, not ones from the bottle though, apart from my favourite! The bottle is 70cl and is sold in many places. I bought mine in the local Tesco?s for a bargain price of £12.99. RECIPES **Kahlua and milk** You pour 2-3 parts milk (or cream) to on part Kahlua, add a little ice and enjoy! This is my favourite **Kahlua Aero Bar** Mix Irish cream, Kahlua, Crème de menthe, milk and ice. **8-Ball** Float vanilla ice cream on the top of a frosty mug of Kahlua. **Kahlua...

Play. Create. Share - Little Wonderful Planet!

Advantages: Enjoyable levels; charming and imaginative; extensive ability to customise
Disadvantages: Actual designed levels are over quickly

...you prefer), who you are introduced to at the start of the game where he appears as quite simply a knitted brown sack looking like a rag doll. As you move through the game and complete the various levels you collect various materials, clothing items and accessories which allow you to personalise your sackboy and make him really unique. You could choose a different colour for his sack material - maybe denim, or perhaps pink with polkadots? You can select a range of hats, sunglasses and other items of clothing. My little sackboy is currently pink with a set of bunny ears and a bunny tail, wellington boots and fairy wings, or you could opt for a Mexican outfit with Sombrero and poncho, or even a Zebra outfit complete with Zebra head and suit, it's all up to you! You can do this at literally any point in the game, so once you've seen the theme...

Review of LittleBigPlanet (PS3)

The best Mex in town

Advantages: great food, great prices during happy hour on cocktails
Disadvantages: reservations necessary

...aperitifs if you eat and the cocktail list is well worth a look at. In fact I had originally known the place as a cocktail bar, but was then amazed when I looked at the menu. Unlike a lot of Mexican restaurants in Britain, where the only thing Mexican about them is a cheesy theme and waiters in Sombreros (mon dieu!). Here it is the opposite, with a genuine Mexican chef, no Mex overkill on the décor - it is very trendy and minimalist inside, and the food is genuinely spicy, rather than the fayre which tends to be a bit bland in Mexican restaurants in Britain. The starters which are very authentic vary in price between £2 and £5 with most main courses costing about £8 a head, although it is a bit more expensive if you want seafood, although I tend to stick to meat dishes in Vienna as a rule, as seafood is not guaranteed to be particularly fresh...
