Olympus 8X25 WP I

Advantages: Image adjustments to give great view, waterproof, adjustable eye-relief
Disadvantages: fixed magnification, average build and design quality

...Binoculars are mainly used by bird watchers as to get a closer look at them. Many people also use binoculars for occasions such as holidays where they travel to destinations of natural beauty. Using a binocular enables them to see the scenic beauty from a better and closer perspective. The Olympus 8X25 WPI is labeled professional, but can obviously be used by everyday and ordinary people. These particular binoculars have an 8x magnification ability. This is simply the power of magnification on the binoculars, the 8x magnification means that the object or area you view through the binoculars is going to appear 8x larger or closer. The 8x magnification also means that this is the maximum and minimum magnification power of the binoculars. You cannot view an object or place with a lesser or higher magnification than 8x. If in...

Review of Olympus 8X25 WP I

X25 Photon, or just protons?

Advantages: Ease of use, many interchangeable settings
Disadvantages: AXYZ dome

...Well the Alesis photon X25, is your standard 25 key midi interface, with a few more adjustable settings than most. Looks: With its sleek design, Led lights, an the AXYZ dome. This thing can be beautriful, but mainly by your own opinion. Im sure many would say it is quite some what ugly with the Organge LED's. But as with most things, these LED's are in actualy fact functional. Ease of Installation: After plugging in, all you have to do is dunk the CD into your drive, and follow the instuctions. If you wish to install Cubase LE, an included product with this, then your installation will be a little more complicated, but not a lot. Feel: The keys feel comfortable, however, at times they do not pick up the sound if you play very softly, but generally all is well. The sound changing knobs are well spread out, and the different...

M is for Megans Law

Advantages: We know where most of them are
Disadvantages: Parents are the offenders

...know how to record incriminationg I.P numbers and conversations. I supposed to sum it up I?m not suggesting we are being hysterical over pedophilia by wanting to know where they are 24/7 but there is a certain hypocrisy when we like to blame pedophilia on everyone but the family unit. Meagan?s law would bring reassurance to the middle classes that there are indeed no perverts lurking in their privet hedges with a bag of boiled sweets, but the downside would be if that one was discovered under this new exposure then the house prices would drop dramtically, until they were forced out of course For the irrationally angry working classes it would mean that summer of lynching, driving the problem underground and even deeper into the rented accomodation and estates where the people that detest them so much live. Summary: The lowest of...

M is for Magnificent

Advantages: Easy to apply, great finish
Disadvantages: Too many colours, not enough nails!

...Barry M is a brand I normally associate with bold eye colours and glittery dust. But their bold colours are what attracted me to the nail varnish range. I own five colours in total and have definitely got my eye on more, so I feel like I can comment on how the range performs. Packaging The bottle is fairly standard - glass and transparent to allow you to see the colour within, with a screw-on lid. The bottle is rectangular and has a sturdy, thick glass base. From personal experience, I can tell you that these bottles will only take a few knocks and bumps. I did have one of my Barry M nail varnishes smash in my make-up bag. There's no mention of ingredients on the actual packaging, but you can find a full list on their website, if that's something that is of interest to you. Their nail varnishes are all vegan friendly...

Review of Kodak EASYSHARE M863

Mmmmm... 'M'

Advantages: The joy it brings me
Disadvantages: Allows over exposure of some of Madge's crappier songs

...Mmmmmm.... 'M'. My favourite letter, apart from the love letter of course, as it is extremely satisfying to open your heart and justify your love to someone who is crazy for you and who you cherish. Things that begin with 'M' are very important to me. Allow me to mention five of them, as this site is one which lets you express yourself... 'Mum' - the most important person in the world to me. She is on the borderline of perfection, and I really am a lucky star to have someone like her. She is a fairly recently-qualified nurse and attending her graduation was the proudest day of my life. I had a wonderful upbringing, and she gave up a period of her life to bring my sisters and I up. She would spend her money on us instead of being a material girl, and always read me a bedtime story. She is now divorced, and loves her life which makes me...

Also good for peepin' toms

Advantages: Lightweight, Good Image Quality, Compact, Cheap.
Disadvantages: The Case.

...the case includes a belt loop on the back, due the flimsiness of the case, the binoculars lull down and move about a lot on the strap. The second problem with the case is that it is not waterproof, like the binoculars, meaning they will get wet if a downpour occurs. Also the case would be no use in protecting the binoculars if you were to drop them, its just too thin and doesn?t include any padding. (See Fig 3) I would strongly recommend that you invest in a more sturdy waterproof case to prolong the life of the binoculars, especially when using outdoors. I keep the binoculars in my camera bag (Lowepro), as its much sturdier and most of all waterproof. ~~~~ Technical Spec ~~~~ ~ 10x magnification. ~ 25mm lens diameter. ~ Auto focus: No. ~ Type of Prism: Porro. ~ Type Standard/Compact: Compact. ~ Water protection: Not Waterproof...

\m/ METAL \m/

Advantages: too many to list
Disadvantages: Abosolutely none

...m/ METAL m/ I first got into metal when my parents got Sky TV. One day, my brother and I stumbled along a channel called Kerrang! It was a metal music video channel. I was amazed. Everything was so different, so honest. There was little cencorship and everything was shown, sung and screamed as it was. The first song i loved was Marilyn Manson's "The Nobodies". It's basically a song for the underdog and has started a bit of an obsession with him and his music. Some people wouldn't class it as "Metal". So apart from Mr.Manson the first metal song i liked was either Slipknot's "Wait and Bleed" or Slipknot's "Left Behind". My brother and me spent hours watching that channel and introducing everyone we could to our little world of metal music. Growing up with it When i got older and matured my dad introduced me to his...

barry M Cool Colours

Advantages: long lasting
Disadvantages: n/a

...Over the years I have had false nails and have spent a lot of money on decorating my nails with varnish. I have used varnishes that vary in prices, I have tried Opi and and also the likes of Rimmel and I have notice that over the years that it is not worth spending lots of money on a varnish as there is not a lot of difference in quality. I recently discovered Barry M nail varnishes and I was pleased with the results of the dark red colour as after two applications it looked wonderful and was long lasting and did not chip or peel like a lot of the varnishes that I have tried previously. Now the summer is coming I decided to make an investment in some new colours for the summer for my toes and i was really impressed with the wide variety of colours that they have to offer and at a retail value of just under £3.00 this is well...

The dangers of M.I. - The Hole

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...I thought that I'd share a short, rather cynical, story which may raise a smile. It's about a business term you may, or may not, have experienced: M.I. (Management Information). The Hole: The Dangers of M.I. Once upon a time, three men: Bert, Jeremy and Tom, came to dig a hole. After a while the firm sent a man (Tim) to measure the hole. Tim could measure the width but did not know how to measure the depth; Jeremy said he knew. Head Office appointed him to measure the depth of the hole. That left Bert and Tom digging. Well, weeks went by and the hole got bigger a little slower without Jeremy. Tim and Jeremy measured with diligence. But after a while they realised that they needed to know if the hole was expanding in the right direction. Bert said he could do this by surveying stuff. That left Tom digging...
