Advantages: Ease of turning, handling, style, following. Disadvantages: None I can think of.
...I go to Sandown ski club ever week, and I always try to get the Salomon X-Screams. They are incredibly easy to turn, have a nice carving action, and are probably one of the best skis around. They have a huge free-ride following, and are used by beginners and experts alike. They are the skis by which all others are judged. The newer X-screams have the Prolink arms 'to guarantee ski/snow contact'. Wether it actually works is another matter... but it sounds and looks cool!
So basically, these skis will suit anyone, especially those who are looking to improve their turning and confidence, and want to learn how to carve easily.
Excellent skis!...

Advantages: Light, strong, perfect Disadvantages: absolutely nought for my riding style
...Ok, first I should make it clear that although I'm writing an op for the Kona Manomano bike I only actually run the FRAME from the '98 Manomano bike which I picked up while working at my local mountain bike shop a couple of years ago now. The bike had been stripped down for various parts leaving the frame which I snapped up for a fair sum (£450). I now, and have been for the last 2/3 years, running it as a freeride/downhill rig and I have to say, its perfect. As I'm not one for hucking off cliffs and/or houses the 7005 ally structure is quite strong enough and the fox vanilla rear shock provides 3.5" of plush, lovely suspension even when I havent cleaned out the pivot bushings for ages and I've been riding it in British winter weather!? I run it with 5" Stratos FR4 dual-crown forks and various other dh gubbins such as MRP chain...

Advantages: Good design Disadvantages: Stickey Valves
...I have been trying out the Tusa TR 400 Imperex for two weeks now. I have found it to be very good regulator. The valves seem to be of good quality. At first it worked perfectly and I thought I would never use another regulator. However on my fith dive with the Tusa TR 400 Imperex. As I reached the 40 meter mark the regulator got stuck in the open possition and was squerting out air. When I reached the surface and took the regulator to a reputable dive centre they informed me that the problem was that Tusa had fitted a faulty valve. He fixed the problem and the regulator has been fine since then. I don't think it's a common problem so I wouldn't worry about it.
The Specifiacations are as follows:-
1st Stage
Light weight 620g (21.9oz/1.37lb) inline balanced piston (PAT.) first-stage.
Two H.P. ports and four L.P. ports.

~ A Sandwich Press ~
There I was, making a toasted cheese sandwich in my 10-year-old toasted sandwich maker, when I went to take it out.
Unfortunately it was stuck everywhere! It was a right mess, and even careful attempts to get it out without it... more
I'm 27 now (I know, I only look 23 in the picture, don't I?), and it was therefore time to start cooking proper meals on a regular basis. Most people do this as a matter of course, I suppose, but I'm really astonishingly lazy and pot noodles were... more
I've had my Breville TR40 for about a month now and I wish I'd bought it sooner!
My old sandwich maker had finally bitten the dust after it lost it's non stick plating, probably due to my having to scrape the contents out on nearly every... more
