Advantages: Probably the best school to offer an MA. Not at all pretentious.
Disadvantages: Rapidly improving reputation but doesn't have the prestige of some drama schools

...that if you werent asked to stay it didnt mean you were not in, just they had seen all they needed to see. No humiliation handed out anywhere, which was not always my experience having seen a number of schools audition styles. All the MA students got to stay to talk to Andrea the head of the MA course. Andrea was inspiring, passionate and full of enthusiasm. We were offered the opportunity to stay and do something else, sing a song, do another piece, do a piece again, whatever. Which was unique. I chose to do my 2nd modern piece as I felt I didnt do to well with my first (no-one volunteered to do a song!!) I left feeling all my prejudices had been wiped away and having auditioned for a good number of schools, all from the top 10 in the U.K, I liked East 15 the best. I equally felt sure I hadnt gotten in, but we were to wait for the letter... Read review

Advantages: Good keystrokes, backlight, functional LCD display and other gaming features
Disadvantages: Large size, flimsy wrist rest

...----------- Logitech G15 gaming keyboard ----------- Logitech have recently made a name for themselves in manufacturing quality peripheral devices such as speakers, cameras, laser mice and keyboards. Recent rends seem to indicate that they have been largely successful in cracking the 'gaming market', that is providing high tech and quality products e.g. 1500+ dpi mice. The keyboard has the following features that make it different from a standard desktop keyboard: -Folding tilting LCD display -Backlight (three settings, low high or off) -Programmable 'G keys' -Cable management system First off , the keyboard looks very nice. The keys are black, with the transparent markings to allow the blue backlight to shine through. The silver and black finish is also pleasant. It is fairly heavy, but less so than i expected...

Advantages: Makes complex masks a doodle, very easy to use, offeres great results.
Disadvantages: Not so good when it comes to creating selections with grayscale images, slight loss of quality in the selcetion when loaded up in a different programme.

...Creating masks for complex images dealing with transparencies, thin selections or shadows ( or in less techy terms trying to separate a part of an image from its background) can drive any graphic artist into the pits of despair. These things are usually incredibly time consuming and if your trying to get them down just right, it can very well be a process of trial and error until you find the technique that works best for that specific image and app. Luckily Corel decided to bless the digital artist with this godsend, under the form of Corel Knockout 1.5. And just over £200 it is an absolute essential buy. Here’s why: It works as a stand alone programme that you can use outside the regular image treatment software that you might use. In my case I have Photoshop which is not a problem since once you’ve completed an image... Read review

Advantages: Great Lyrics, Amazing Band and Music Produced is fantastic, Best Album For Rock Lovers
Disadvantages: None

...ABOUT THE BAND Buckcherry is a hard-rock band formed in 1995 in los angeles. The band so far has produced two albums, time bomb (released in 2001) and 15, (released in 2006). The band members are Josh Todd, Keith Nelson, Stevie D, Jimmy Ashhurst and Xavier Muriel. Buckcherry was formed when Josh Todd and guitarist Keith Nelsen met near a tatoo parlour where they exchanged their love for AC/DC and became good friends. Soon after that they produced a few demo tracks and slowly worked there way up from LA nightclubs to big gigs, taking on new bandmembers and widening their fanbase. They were soon signed by DreamWorks Records in 1999 and together they produced time bomb. Then a few years later when new mandmates had joined and old bandmates had left, the band began working on a new album, that would be greater and more sucessful than... Read review

Advantages: sporty look, fun to drive, cheap to insure
Disadvantages: electrics can go wrong, underrated!

...this car is fantastic! after searching for months for the car i wanted i fell in love with a hyundai accent 1.5 MVI. its got so many good points! firstly the only way i can describe the drive is fun! a 1.5 MVI dual overhead cam engine in a big small car! its so fun to drive its unbelieveable. change gear at the right times and you'll suprised at the intial accleration from them! not to forget the shorter change gearbox for quicker gear changes and the fun learning to drive round roundabouts, i still havent conquered this one yet! i will warn you though that the indicators and windscreen wiper controls are opposite as the cars from japan, it took me a little while to get used to this much to the amusement of other drivers while i sprayed my windscreen and wiped them to let people out at junctions! another thing is to make sure...

Advantages: Tough, Reliable, Comfortable, excellent composed chassis
Disadvantages: Lively ride, dull steering and ride

...I had an Almera as a company car in which i covered 15,000 miles after owning a Pug 309 GTI. Lets say these are two completely diferent cars. I found the Almera fairly dull to drive, but largely similar in character to a few other models. One model which comes to mind is the last Rover 400/45. Most people will find it easy to drive and get along with. The chassis balance is lovely and the road holding safe and grippy although the damping and spring rates are too soft, which, coupled with the dull steering makes it feel 'soft'. It is comfortable over a long journey, although overly lively on A/B roads even gven the soft suspension. The 1.5 engine I found under powered at low revs and overtaking performance is limited and reserved for higher revs - which most people wont use. This aspect is frustrating - the diesel apparently...

Advantages: stores loads of data - easy to use menus; innovative design
Disadvantages: no docking station; need to purchase fireware card or USB firewire connector; scratches easy

...The Apple Ipod 15Gb is a small mp3 player. The 15Gb internal hard drive will hold all the tracks that you need. The wheel system for accessing the menus does take a bit of getting used to but after a few hours of playing about you will get the hang of it. Transferring music from CDs to the Ipod is a doddle using the ITunes software although I did find that a few of my albums do not play on the PC which is disappointing. (some sort of security encoding on them). The Ipod also allows other data to be stored on it not just Mp3 in reality turning it into a portable hard disk for your photos etc. It would be nice to view pictures on the screen but it's not possible. A colour screen would also be great. Music quality is superb and even whilst running I have not had the hard drive skip on me at all. A superbly built piece... Read review
