Strap On for all

Advantages: Very Durable
Disadvantages: Pricey

...I have a few DSLR cameras and I have gone through a few straps, buying all sorts of makes. I have found that Canon is one of the best. So what do I look for in a good strap? Well its got to be comfy so there for well padded and if its fairly thick that also helps. Also it has made out of material that is not going to irritate the skin. But also the strap has to be strong and relitiable. As you don't want a strap to break while in use. Style is a bit of an issue, but not an important one. As long as it does its job without failing then that's the main point, if its stylish its just a bonus. Lucky for me the Canon L 4 Neck strap was quite stylish. So Is the Canon L 4 Neck Strap any good? Well I have had it for a few months now and using it constantly and There is no sign of wear and tear, its still holding up and strong. Its very...

Review of Canon L 4 Neck strap

The ultimate wrist support

Advantages: Gives comfort to wrists
Disadvantages: Can get dirty

...As many of my readers will know I have one of the MS Natural Multimedia Keyboard's which are shaped differently to the normal straight keyboards. And to go with it I needed a specially shaped gel wrist rest to fit next to it. I had a old wrist rest but it was just straight and it wasn't supporting my wrists as it didn't fit close enough to this keyboard. But this Fellowes gel wrist rest is just perfect for such a keyboard as it has been shaped to fit the curvy edge. ----------- Looks ----------- It only comes in one grey colour which looks a little dull to some other gel rests that are clear so you can see the bright blue gel inside. It features a non-skid bottom which is great is the rest does not move about when you are typing away. ----------------------------- How it measures up...

Review of Fellowes Jewel Tones Gel Wrist Rest

Great little wrist rattles for your baby

Advantages: The rattles will help your baby with movement and play.
Disadvantages: There arent any.

...These Lamaze wrist rattles are great our girls got given these as a gift. But I have researched where you can get them and I have found ones that are similar to the ones we have for £5.99 on Amazon. They have pictures of the ones I have but on Amazon but there not available on there at the moment. They are recommended for children over 3 months and are machine washable so are easy to clean. They come in pairs as there's one for each of your child's wrists . You can get many different designs but the ones we have a butterfly and lady bird on. They have a soft strap with Velcro on one side that sticks to the inner strap of the other side. So you can tighten and loosen them depending on your child's wrist size so will be a perfect fit. In the middle of the strap there is a soft bug. The ladybird one has a red strap with a orange...

Review of Lamaze Gardenbug Wrist Rattle, Foot Finder Set

A wrist rest that really works

Advantages: Disperses pressure, supports arm
Disadvantages: None

...I suffer from very bad RSI in my hands and, since I'm an English Literature research student halfway through a PhD, I can't afford to rest and not use my computer. So, among the many other things I have done to ease the pain, I have transformed my work desk into an ergonomic heaven! The most recent addition to my desk is this 'forearm cradle'. It is meant for use with your mouse arm and is, as the name suggests, used slightly further up the arm than a standard wrist rest. My partner uses this one at work and he brought it home for me to try over the Christmas break (this was both kind and stupid of him, as I am now very reluctant to return it to him when he goes back to work in January!). I have tried a variety of wrist rests over the last year or so and most are either attached to a mousemat (which in the age of optical mice is...

Review of Fellowes Forearm Cradle - wrist pad

Wrist Rest

Advantages: Comfortable, easy to use
Disadvantages: Need regular sized mouse

...I broke my wrist about 10 years ago when I was in year 6, and since then it gets quite painful when i overwork it or put too much pressure on it. This includes using the computer and in particular my mouse, I think becuase you have to hold you hand in the same posistion and no blood can circulate, also your wrist needs more support. Ideally your hand and arm should remain level, when I visited my sister I used her mouse pad with a hand rest. It was very comfortable so I decided to invest in one myself, this one only cost me about £4 from Amazon. The pad is a nice dark blus colour, it looks just like a regular mouse pad apart from the gel cusion at the bottom that you rest your wrist on. I think it has definately helped me but unfortunatelty I have a 'mini souris' (little mouse), which is very cute but I think it means that my wrsit...

Review of Belkin WaveRest Gel Mouse Pad - mouse pad with wrist pillow

Rest Your Wrist

Advantages: Comfortable gel pad, Height adjustable
Disadvantages: Can be uncomfortable sometimes

...The Kensington height adjustable gel keyboard rest is a comfortable way of typing or using your mouse. That's the reason I got one of these even though I don't use it much now. The keyboard rest consists of a comfortable gel pillow which is a conveniently designed mould to adapt the shape of your wrist. This distributes the pressure you apply more evenly. It also has height adjustment for two different heights. This is done by removing the gel pillow, turning the base over. The design is solid and sturdy with added grip on the base making it skid proof. It will not bug you by constantly moving around. The keyboard rest comes in two different colours, black and blue. Main features and functions: - Height adjustable - Gel keyboard/mouse rest - Black or blue - 554 x 86 x 50 cm - 713 g Overall this is a good thing to have...

Rock Your Wrist Off

Advantages: New songs for this game. Better gameplay
Disadvantages: Still have to use the guitar grip which hurts your wrist quite a bit. Plus weak music

...then put your hand through the strap and tighten it to fit your hand, it's aimed to stop the grip from slipping whilst your playing it, however it does not work and you will find yourself having to pause the game to put the grip back on your hand. I have complained in previous reviews on the previous two guitar hero's the pain you will probably experience with the Guitar Grip, your wrist is bent in the most unkindly way and after a bit you will have to stop because of the pain shooting through your wrist. You do however get used to it and work out what position to hold your hand in to make it just that little bit more comfortable. It is quite a good design, despite the pain, it looks stylish and it does fit onto the DS quite well, it's just a shame that they haven't really thought about the consumers when creating it, however I can...

HAUNTING, MELODIC AND FOLKSY

Advantages: Easy listening and enchanting music with excellent vocals
Disadvantages: So few have heard of them

...Murdoch and the now departed (not dead though!) Stuart David. The band now compromise of 8 full time members including: Chris Geddes Isobel Campbell Mick Cooke Richard Colburn Sarah Martin Stuart Murdoch Bobby Kildea The album “The Boy With The Arab Strap” was released in 1998 and hit a peak of number 12 in the album chart and then plummeted to nothingness. Although l had heard vaguely of the group l new nothing about them, but at a barbecue in the heady days of summer way back in June (do you remember it!!) l heard the album played at a friends house through a drunken stupor and something stuck – l had to text her on the following Monday to find out who they were. I picked the album up in Our Price – they had an offer on 2 for twenty quid – not bad! TRACK 1 - It Could Have Been...

Review of Boy With The Arab Strap, The - Belle & Sebastian

You Don't Need A 'G' Ta Be O.G.

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: Lyrics arne't all that

...Following success as part of the legendary West Coast Gangsta Rap crew Compton's Most Wanted, lead performer to the group MC Eiht stepped up to lead and take things a step further in 1994 with "We Come Strapped", the first time where the work of the artist would be credited as 'MC Eiht Featuring Comton's Most Wanted' as all of the other MCs took a step back, and allowed him to do things mostly on his own, but with DJ Slip of the group providing the G-Funk beats. 1. "N***az That Kill" (Intro) 2. "Def Wish III" (Lude) 3. "Def Wish III" In order to do a straight banger to kick this album off and show exactly what the artist is about, you have a track which directs him right into the hardcore Gangsta Rap where he takes on those who he has a beef with (most significantly DJ Quik). It is a killer tune from him, and shows just how well...

Review of We Come Strapped - MC Eiht Feat. CMW

I am a wrist sniffer

Advantages: Smells divine
Disadvantages: My daughters use all mine up

...of spices mixed in and it seems very well blended to produce the perfect fragrance. Don?t think this is anything like your old ladies perfumes that smell strongly of Lily of the valley or Roses. I may be an old lady but I certainly don?t want to smell like one at all. The perfume seems to suit both young and old skin alike and my daughters and granddaughters are always having a squirt of it when they visit. This is often so my bottle does not last long at all. I like to put a good amount on in the morning as the smell soon settles down. The scent does last all day and I did the sniff the wrist test today just to see how long it lasted. 8.00am Very strong. Noon nice and pleasant. 4pm Still smells lovely without sniffing hard. 8.00pm the scent is fading now but I can still smell if I have a good sniff. I am talking about my perfume if you...
