Advantages: Good Price, Does that it says it will, Solar powered
Disadvantages: None that i can think of

...I bought this calculator at my local woolworths as i was after a scientific calculator and one that was cheap(i paid under £10 for this one which seemed a good price). The calculator is made by Casio which are a well known brand for making anything from calculators to TV's . The dimensions are 84x155x12mm and it is a light too which is a bonus. The keys are large enough for most people and all the writing is clear on and above the keys. This scientific calculator with has 249 functions (164 scientific functions) - including statistic functions. It is primarily aimed at secondary school student but i reckon it will be fine for almost any function unless you need the functions of a graphic calculator It is solar powered so it doesn't require any batteries in order to function however as with all solar powered products,you just be ain...

Advantages: Helps prevent flat batteries; achieves longer battery life
Disadvantages: None

...As a student with an ageing car, my mileage was irregular and the car was often parked outside, so keeping the battery charged was a continual challenge. The car could be guaranteed not to start at the most awkward of moments. A trickle-charger was an essential piece of equipment but even it was of no use if I couldn’t find anywhere to plug it in within reach of where I could park the car safely. Removing the battery was a cumbersome alternative. I became adept at using jump leads too but there were times I wished I didn’t have to. I wish someone had thought of the solar-powered battery saver at that time. Nowadays my battery is more likely to run down through all the so-called “key-off electronic drains” (radios, clocks, alarms and use of other devices that work through the cigar lighter), or through doing too many short journeys...

Advantages: Never wrong, no batteries
Disadvantages: Not cheap

..., and it's never more than a second inaccurate. The Junghans MEGA Solar Model 021/4320 watch itself is pretty robust. Normally after owning a watch for a few months, it's scuffed and scratched, but so far this one has lasted, mostly through the use of titanium for the case and the sapphire glass face (reportedly the most scratch resistant watch glass used on the finest timepieces). The case and leather strap are a very dark blue, which is black in all but the brightest of lights, and the face is offset slightly to the right of the strap, which takes a little getting used to at first, but ultimately adds to it's stylish look. The digital display shows the day of the month, seconds, reception and charge indicators. The watch features two time zone adjustment buttons, a transmitter call button. Something of an engineer's watch... Read review

Advantages: Green energy, lots of hot water when it's sunny
Disadvantages: High-pressure selling, less hot water when it's cloudy

..., this will provide hot water for showers, washing, etc. This usage reduces the temperature in the tank, which allows the solar panels to operate through the day, bringing the tank back up to its maximum of 60 C, which is achieved quickly and easily on a sunny day. The solar control panel indicates when the pump is running and you can watch the tank temperature slowly rising. Even on a lightly-cloudy day there is some input, allowing the boiler to work less hard later on. The only time that there is little or no solar input is during heavy cloud. Depending on how sunny it has been, we then need to boost (or not) the boiler accordingly later in the day. To summarise: you cannot expect to get the best from solar panels without having to be a bit proactive about your boiler and heating settings. Installing the panels and expecting them to work while... Read review

Advantages: PERFECTION AND BEAUTY IN DANCE
Disadvantages: NONE

...dies in his arms leaving him heartbroken. SCENE 3 This act is called Kingdom of the Shades and Solar desperate about what has happened smokes a pipe of opium falls asleep and dreams of the dead bayadere. The warriors come thumping and twirling onto a stage full of deep red light. The stage goes dark and when the light slowly comes up you watch in amazement as 32 ballerinas all of who are dead bayaderes slowly make their way onto the stage one by one with an accuracy and precision that you have to see to believe. This is an act that has been performed on its own by many companies due to the fact that most companies don't have the amount of dancers needed to perform the complete ballet. It is one of the most beautiful ballet scenes ever danced and entrances all who see it.. Their pure white jewelled tutus shimmer and each... Read review

Advantages: Good entertainment
Disadvantages: None

...The title K Pax meant nothing to me and I needed my son to explain that K Pax was a planet in a distant solar system and that Kevin Spacey was an alleged alien visitor from that planet. The problem is that he looks just like you and me! This is an excellent story that weaves a wonderful web of wondering. Throught the film I was forced to ask questions. Is he, isn't he? Is he crazy or really from a planet some 1000 light years away? At one point he announces that he travels using light and says that the 1000 light year journey took him 7 years. The psychiatrist (Beau Bridges) concludes that he travels at the speed of light. A look and at least a metaphorical raised eyebrow shows Spacey's character's amazement at such stupidity. "Then it would have taken 1000 years" he announces and Bridges is left to ponder. The dialogue combines some... Read review

Advantages: Great entertainment for people of all ages
Disadvantages: Can be expensive

...I have been a great fan of tenpin bowling for many years. although i dont for one minute pretend to be an expert, it really can be great fun. I have bowled at Megabowl, Solarbowl and Hollywood Bowl, with Hollywood Bowl in my dooyoo opinion being by far the best. One has recently oponed in Norwich, and i guess the set up is the same in all Hollywood Bowl's, I know it is in the Leeds one. In all the times i have been there so far not once has anything gone wrong with the lanes, which i regret to say is a regular occurence at Solar Bowl. Their use of computerised graphis is excellent, with some very amusing things coming up on the screen if you get a strike, spare or the dreaded gutter ball. I agree with a previous opion on bowling and Megabowl that it can be expensive. However, Hollywood Bowl seen to offer regular offers, e.g. every... Read review

Advantages: Lovely range of unusual items
Disadvantages: Some of the navigation could be easier

...I don't have a garden, but lots of my friends and family are keen gardeners. I find that Dig-it.co.uk is a wonderful site for unusual gardening presents. As well as the more usual gifts like gardening tools and toiletries (though there are some interesting twists on those), there are really unusual items. I particularly liked the floating jelly candles, sheep and ducks for the garden, and cedarwood mushrooms. For those of you lucky enough to have a garden, the site seems to have a huge range of stylish products: plants (including special selections for borders), pergolas, lighting (the solar lighting is particularly good), furniture and pond pumps. The monthly gardening magazine has a good range of articles - lots of advice as well as reviews and light-hearted features. There's also an email advice service which promises a reply... Read review

Advantages: It has really useful new functions
Disadvantages: Not the cheapest of calculators - £15

...As I'm in the top set for maths at my grammar school I need a good scientific calculator for my work. I used to have an 83WA and I certainly prefer this model much more than my old calculator. It looks a lot smarter than the 83WA and there are lots more functions. The best new function I believe is the conversions - you can now convert cm-inches, degrees C-degrees F, miles-kilometres and many many more (about 50 in all). There are also many more additional functions such as a different way to turn it off which gets very annoying if you've had a different calcuator with a different way of turning it off - such as the 83WA. It still has 9 storage buttons and a random number generator as does the older Casios (such as the 83WA). It's a solar/battery powered calculator so that when it is absorbing light the battery is not being used... Read review
