With the 2014 election coming, are North Carolinas Republican leaders seeing chickens on the horizon, looking to come home to roost?
All of the sudden it seems, the GOP leaders who cut public education and bashed public school teachers for sport during the last legislative session are getting all warm and fuzzy and talking about giving teachers raises.
But this is no goodness of the heart revelation. Surely the Republicans dont believe that North Carolinas teachers, or its residents, will buy the notion that a new age of enlightenment has arrived and that those champions of private school vouchers and an end to masters pay have suddenly said to themselves, Oh, my goodness! Our teachers are 46th in the nation in average teacher pay. Were shocked, shocked we tell you!
No, this is likely a product of the fact that the 2014 elections are upcoming and perhaps some polling that shows citizens rather like their public school teachers, many of them miracle workers who turn kids lives around.
But talk is cheap, and the state has fallen in the rankings of teacher pay. After flirting with the national average, a goal of former Gov. Jim Hunts, the average pay now is at an embarrassing level.
Even a paltry raise of the kind being discussed, 1 percent or 2 percent, wouldnt do much to alter the states ranking.
Currently, the average pay in North Carolina is $45,947, compared with a national average of $55,418. There are reports that some teachers are leaving the state to take better-paying jobs elsewhere.
Even before Republicans took over the General Assembly and commenced to drawing a bulls-eye on public education, North Carolina was living on luck with regard to teacher pay. With a starting salary of about $30,000, young teachers have to scramble to live, sharing homes and pinching the pennies that are left over after they dig into their own pockets for school supplies.
Teacher pay has long been disgraceful in North Carolina, and without meaning to, GOP lawmakers really cast a spotlight on it and not a flattering spotlight.
But heres the rub: Republicans sliced and diced the state budget so much, ensuring tax breaks for business and for the wealthy with a pittance thrown in for average middle class folks, that even as they speak of teacher raises, they have no clue where to get the money.
So theyre talking about the will to do something, and Gov. Pat McCrory also is talking about giving teachers more. But Republicans arent having a change of heart. Theyre worried about a change of party among voters who dont like attacks on teachers as a political strategy.
What GOP legislators ought to do is abandon some of their misguided tax reform and establish a long-term plan that s includes restoring the tenure they took away. The GOP plan should give the states teachers substantial raises over a period of, say, five years to get them back to the national average. A one-time, 1 percent or 2 percent raise is going to be seen for what it is: a political ploy to get the GOP through the next election.

Parents know there is nothing more unpleasant than receiving a phone call from their child's school informing them their kid has head lice.
In January, state law in Texas changed and districts are no longer required to send students with lice home.
So how can we stop the spread? Cody Bradstreet, owner of The Lice Place in Austin, had some helpful tips for us.

GREENSBORO — Richard Howell thought he knew what it meant to play with pain.
That is until Friday when Howell had to briefly leave N.C. State's win against Virginia with a thigh bruise to his right leg.
Twice, Virginia forward Akil Mitchell accidentally kneed Howell in the second half.
"It was a simple injury, he kneed me twice, but it felt like I got hit with a baseball bat," Howell said. "I've never played with something so painful in my life."
Howell, who finished with 12 rebounds and labored through 30 minutes, went to the locker room at the 13:05 mark in the second half.
He returned less than 2 minutes later, after briefly riding a stationary bike behind the N.C. State bench. Howell's rebound of a Lorenzo Brown miss at the 8-minute mark fired up the Wolfpack crowd at the Greensboro Coliseum, and led to a 3-point play by C.J. Leslie.
Later in the second half, coming out of a timeout, referee Mike Eades stopped to ask Howell if he was OK.
Howell said he was in pain, but Eades replied, "They still can't stop you on the glass."
Howell's health will be a question mark for Saturday's semifinal against Miami's huge frontcourt of Reggie Johnson, Julian Gamble and Kenny Kadji.
"It's definitely going to be a physical battle but we feel like if we can get out and run, we'll be all right," Howell said.
Howell has started every game this season and 70 straight games.
• No encore for Hanlan: Boston College freshman Olivier Hanlan torched Georgia Tech for 41 points on Thursday but found the sledding tougher on Friday against Miami.
Hanlan was locked down by Miami guards Durand Scott, the ACC defensive player of the year, and Shane Larkin. He finished with 14 points and two 3-pointers. Scott also harassed Hanlan into four turnovers.
Even though it was Boston College and Miami, the back-and-forth between Hanlan and Larkin had an old-school ACC tournament feel. Perhaps feeling snubbed in the ACC player of the year voting, Larkin had 20 points and four assists in the Hurricanes' 69-58 win.
• So close: Former North Carolina star J.R. Reid, who's working for the ACC Digital Network, stopped to say hello to former Wake Forest coach Dave Odom in a back hallway at the Coliseum. The two spoke briefly, and as Reid moved on, Odom shook his head.
"I must have gone to his house 300 times," Odom said, wistfully.
Odom was an assistant at Virginia when Reid starred in high school at Virginia Beach.
All's Wells that ends Wells: Dez Wells had played well entering the ACC tournament. But not this well.
Wells, a Raleigh native and sophomore guard at Maryland, scored 26 points on Friday night to lead the seventh-seeded Terrapins to a surprising 83-74 victory against second-seeded Duke.
The 26 points represented a career high for Wells, but not that far off from what he had been doing recently. Wells scored 21 points during Maryland's 75-62 victory against Wake Forest on Thursday in the first round of the tournament.
He had 23 points in another victory against Wake on March 2. Wells has now scored in double figures in six consecutive games – his longest such stretch of the season. Against Duke, he made 9 of 13 attempts from the field and all 10 of his free-throw attempts.

Hampshire Rotary clubs dig deep at annual fundraiser
7:00pm Tuesday 4th December 2012 in Business
HAMPSHIRE'S Rotary clubs dug deep at their recent annual fundraising dinner.
Nine Rotary clubs from across the county raised an impressive £1035 through ticket sales and a raffle.
The dinner, held at the Haskins Garden Centre restaurant in West End, Southampton, was organised by Shaun Butler with the help of other members.
More than 120 Rotarians contributed, meaning disadvantaged children can now enjoy a day out to Paulton's Park. Funds will also be used to purchase equipment for the disabled.
Matt Hill, general manager at Haskins, said: "The Rotary evening was our first major event last year after the restaurant reopened and we were delighted to welcome back our VIPs."

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Air travelers may be allowed to carry small knives on planes—again, and likely by Memorial Day weekend.
But flight attendants don't want that to happen. They protested a proposal to change the TSA policy at Charlotte Douglas Airport on Thursday.
They're also pushing the "No Knives Act of 2013" to permanently ban knives in the passenger cabin.
Glenda Tally with the Association of Flight Attendants says, "All knives are weapons."
The plan to allow small knives back on board was originally set for April, but was put on hold last month because of backlash from flight attendants.

The Walking Dead Episode 308
"Made to Suffer"
Written By: Robert Kirkman
Directed By: Billy Gierhart
Original Airdate: 2 December 2012
In This Episode...
Michonne leads Rick, Daryl, and Oscar into Woodbury. Once inside, she wanders off - Michonne has her own crap to deal with. So let's stick with Rick and his group first. They find Maggie and Glenn relatively easily. The pair had tried a daring escape, and while they killed one of their captors, they were caught and it looked like they were going to be executed. Rick throws some flash bombs which disorients the Woodbury mercenaries enough to grab Glenn and Maggie and run. Of course, they can't just leave - the soldiers are on to them, and a full gunfight explodes on Main Street. Rick, Glenn, and Maggie make it out. Daryl stays behind to lay down cover fire for them. Oscar is killed.
Michonne sneaks into the Governor's apartment, lays her sword across her lap, and sits and waits. While she is waiting, she hears a strange thumping noise coming from the closet. She opens it and discovers the Governor's man cave. She is horrified by his zombie aquariums, but is distracted by that thumping noise. She discovers the Governor's daughter chained up in the cubbyhole. The girl is quiet and has a sack over her head, so Michonne just thinks it is a child. She unhooks it before taking the hood off. When she see what is waiting underneath, she pulls out a sword, but is stopped by the Governor, who is aiming his gun at Michonne. When he realizes that Michonne has his daughter's un-life in her hands, he puts down his weapons and begs her not to hurt his kid. She kills the zombie anyway, and the Governor goes mental. He attacks Michonne and the two fight. He throws her into his zombie aquariums, breaking several of them. Michonne is pinned down, unable to reach her sword, but she gets her hand on a big shard of glass and rams it into the Governor's eye. Before she can land the killing blow, Andrea shows up, gun poised, shocked to discover her old friend about to kill her boyfriend. The two women eye each other silently for an eternity before Michonne quietly gathers her sword and leaves. Michonne rejoins Rick's group, but he is instantly untrusting of her. Traumatized by what she has seen, she swears her allegiance.
The Governor has lost his eye (but now he gets a wicked eyepatch!) and he is pissed. He speaks to his group in the town's "event center," about how they can't let the terrorists win, and about how he let them down and how scared he is. He blames the attack on one of their own, and offers up Merle. The crowd has a bloodlust, and the Governor is happy to feed it when he brings out Daryl. This is the first time the two of them have laid eyes on each other; this is also the first Andrea is seeing of him.
A new group of survivors pops up tonight. Led by Tyreese and his second-in-command, Sasha, the group also includes Donna, her husband, and their teen son (I think.) Donna is bitten and the group sees a tower that looks safe - it is our prison. Carl hears some noises and goes to investigate. He finds Tyreese's group getting their asses handed to them by a bunch of walkers (in the same boiler room where Carl killed his mother.) He surprises them by shooting a couple walkers and leading them back to their cell block. He wants to kill Donna, but Tyreese promises he will take care of their own. Following in his daddy's footsteps, Carl locks them in a separate area with food and water and promises they will be safe. Sasha is pissed off, but Tyreese calms her down, reminding her that this is the safest they have been in weeks.
Dig It or Bury It?
Season three has been so consistently good, and tonight is no exception. The excellence of this season has made tonight's episode less special, in the sense that it just feels like one of many. It was intense, and had a ton of awesome action, but there wasn't anything that stood out - if only because it was on par with the rest of this season.
Kill o' the Week
Michonne kills the Governor's undead daughter, in front of him - by driving her sword from the back of the girl's head, out her mouth. While not exactly a kill, the most gruesome scene of the night went to Glenn. While he and Maggie were still being held captive, Glenn goes to the walker that he killed, and rips its arm off its torso. He then stomps on the arm, twisting it and cracking it, then peels back the rotten flesh and black sinews to pull out a sharp chunk of bone. He gives it to Maggie for protection. And it's not even Valentine's Day yet!
Zombie o' the Week
This award goes to the zombie head o' the week. One of the zombie heads that tumbles out of the broken aquarium is still animated, writhing and chomping at the air pathetically, hoping something would find its way between its teeth.
This episode ends with the idea that Merle and Daryl are going to battle to the death, gladiator style. Well - spoiler alert! - scenes for the back half of the season show Daryl, so I guess he makes it out. But Carl has decided it is time for his dad to step down as leader. It's turning into a warped Oedipal tale. See you in February!

Nickelodeon's schedule currently consists largely of original series aimed at pre-teens and young teenagers, including animated series.
Nicktoons is Nickelodeon's branding for their original animated television series (a brand that has seldom been used by Nickelodeon itself since the launch of the Nicktoons digital cable and satellite channel in 2002).
Nickelodeon does not air movies on a regular basis. It does occasionally air theatrical movies in prime time and also produces its own original made-for-cable television movies, which usually premiere in weekend evening timeslots.

Available for the first time in English, this book highlights the special character of the gospel message, the nucleus of every Christian literary form. The earliest Christian works from the first through the fourth centuries are presented along with respected contemporary writings in the first volume. The second volume moves to the Golden Age of Christian literature. The major personalities of the time: Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine, all writers of the highest rank are matched with Greek-speaking authors such as Athanasius, the Cappadocians, and John Chrysostom, thinkers to whom present-day Christians turn once again for spiritual direction.
This two-volume edition organizes the material in chronological order. Each segment's detailed discussion concludes with an up-to-date bibliography. It also includes a general bibliography, and each volume includes an index of authors and anonymous works. Specialists in classics and medieval studies, as well as general theologians, art historians, archaeologists, and other students of culture will find in this work an in-depth survey, quality scholarship, and an original approach.
Claudio Moreschini is Professor of Latin Literature at the University of Pisa. He has published critical editions of Tertullian, Gregory of Nazianzus, and Apuleius.

Enrico Norelli is Professor of Apocryphal Christian Literature in the theological faculty of the University of Geneva. Among his publications are editions of Mathetes' Ad Diognetus, Hyppolytus's De antichristo and a commentary on the Ascension of Isaiah.

Comments about Nixon Showoff Bi-Fold Wallet - dark indigo:
Great every day wallet. It's a bit on the large size though. It's definitely not a "slim" Wallet you could fit in your front pocket. Unless you have big front pockets... Lots of room for cards and cash.. Very durable, cool color, awesome bright white on inside, that actually stays quite clean, and vibrant dark blue- purple outer wallet. Have had many compliments!! I have alot of Different cards so i need a Wallet as large as this one.. but... it would be great if product came with one of those slim flip wallets that you just put your license and a couple credit cards in.; An evening wallet. You often see these removable slim wallets come in larger wallets. I think that's the only way this Wallet could get any better. I would for sure buy this wallet again. This is my second Nixon wallet!!

BLADES LEFT AND RIGHT FOR 22-7385 Replacement Blade, Quantity: Sold individually, For Use with: Round Hole Cutter with Adjustable Radius Blades 22-7385
I used this to install quite a number of downlights (6' hole). Worked well with a variable speed cordless drill. Don't let the plastic cowling fool you into thinking that you can make these cuts without a shop vac handy. The plastic cover catches most of the dust, but is hard to seal well enough (due to vibration) to catch all the dust. Be sure to keep the plastic housing against the surface until the cutters stop spinning or you'll get a face full of dust ;-)

Rakeem Cato has his finger precisely on the pulse of why Marshall has only two wins this season.
"Nobody can stop us. We're beating ourselves," the sophomore quarterback said after Saturday's 45-38 loss to Tulsa in front of a Homecoming crowd of 27,189.
With the exception of the season opener at West Virginia, the Thundering Herd have largely, as Cato said, beat themselves. They lost to Ohio when Cato threw a late interception, and Purdue had a pair of pick-sixes in beating the Herd last week.
Take away the interception, and it happened again versus Tulsa.
Trailing by seven and starting at the Tulsa 46-yard line, Marshall had 2:13 to try to tie the game. The drive started with a 9-yard completion to Antavious Wilson and a 17-yard catch by Aaron Dobson to move the Herd to the 20.
But things soured quickly. Marshall (2-4, 1-1 Conference USA) was faced with fourth-and-7 with 49 seconds to play. Cato tried to hit Wilson — who already had two touchdowns — in the end zone, but Demarco Nelson dived and batted the pass away for Marshall's second turnover on downs in as many possessions.
On the previous drive, the Herd came away empty when Lowell Rose blanketed Dobson on a fade pass to Dobson on fourth down.
"At the end of the game, we've got to find a way to get it done," Marshall coach Doc Holliday said. "We had a couple opportunities ... and didn't get it done. We've got to go back to work and get better."
A 99-yard drive gave Marshall its only lead of the game. The series started after a 61-yard punt by Cole Way rolled out of bounds at the 1-yard line.
On the first play, Cato hit Dobson for a 31-yard completion. Off sides and pass interference calls against the Golden Hurricane gave the Herd the ball at the Tulsa 46.
Cato was injured two plays later after being sacked by Shawn Jackson and had to sit out one play. Backup Blake Frohnapfel hit Kevin Grooms on a 12-yard screen pass for first down at the 35.
Cato came back and, three plays later, found Wilson for a 32-yard touchdown. Marshall failed on the two-point conversion try but led 38-37 with 10:59 to play.
But Tulsa reclaimed the lead on its next drive — and did so with quarterback Cody Green making his best three plays of the game.
Green, a Nebraska transfer who started for the Cornhuskers as a true freshman, was just 9 of 17 for 90 yards. But he had a 47-yard completion to Keyarris Garrett on the series, then finished it with a 4-yard touchdown to Jordan James.
Green then found Thomas Roberson on a play action pass for the 2-point conversion and 45-38 Hurricane lead with 8:25 to play.
Including Green, three Tulsa players who had been liabilities came up huge in crucial situations. Rose had been flagged for three pass interference penalties trying to cover Dobson, and Nelson's fumble on a kickoff return led to a Marshall touchdown that tied the game at 17-17 right before halftime.
"At the end of the game," said Tulsa coach Bill Blankenship, "they probably made some game-winning plays."
With Green struggling, the Hurricane (5-1, 3-0) went with its running game — and found resounding success.
One singular moment told that story.
After Green was stopped for no gain on third-and-1 at the Marshall 48 in the first quarter, Tulsa opted to go for it. On a play that screamed quarterback sneak, Green instead handed off to Alex Singleton, a 6-foot-1, 260-pound tailback. Singleton went untouched not only through the line, but all the way to the end zone for a 10-3 lead.
"We had a guy who was not at the right gap at that point in time," Holliday said. "That was disappointing."
Singleton scored from four yards out on Tulsa's next possession to make it 17-3. It capped a 16-play, 63-yard drive that featured eight runs by Singleton.
He also had a 2-yard scoring run in the third quarter, giving him five three-touchdown games in his career.
Tulsa ran 53 times for 250 yards. Trey Watts had a game-high 111 yards on 18 carries, while Singleton ran 16 times for 94 yards.
After Singleton's third touchdown capped the first series of the second half and put the Hurricane up 24-17, a big series of events led to an entertaining third quarter.
Gator Hoskins was flagged for a personal foul after a 3-yard gain, pushing the Herd back to a second-and-21 at their 14.
Dobson then caught a short pass but lost the handle. Dwight Dobbins took the loose ball and returned it 11 yards for a 30-17 Tulsa lead.
The snap on the PAT attempt flew over the holder's head. D.J. Hunter picked it up and took it to the end zone for two points, keeping the Herd within 30-19.
A 1-yard touchdown by Marshall's Remi Watson made the score 30-25 — a 2-point conversion attempt failed — but Tulsa answered with Watts' 95-yard kickoff return.
The next Herd drive went just three plays — Cato found Hoskins alone on the right sideline, and the tight end got a one-man convoy from Dobson on a 72-yard touchdown to make it a 37-32 game with 3:57 left in the third.
The game also had a momentum shift late in the second quarter when Marshall scored two touchdowns in about a minute and a half.
After Grooms' 6-yard touchdown run made it a 17-10 game with 2:36 left, Nelson took the ensuing kickoff at the goal line. He was hit by freshman Devon Johnson and the ball popped out at the 23, where Boston College transfer Okechukwu Okoroha snagged it out of the air for Herd possession at the 28.
Three plays later, Cato hit Wilson in the end zone for an 11-yard touchdown to knot the game at 17-17 at 1:15.
The game got off to a brutal start for the Herd, who turned the ball over on the second play of each of their first two series. But the Hurricane could convert them to only a 36-yard field goal by Daniel Schwarz barely two minutes into the game.
Justin Haig's 20-yard field goal tied it later in the first.
Marshall finished with 572 yards of total offense. Cato completed 31 of 44 passes for 391 yards and three TDs and an interception. Dobson had 10 catches for 128 yards, while Wilson grabbed seven for 123.
Grooms ran 16 times for 71 yards.
Marshall is off this week before traveling to Hattiesburg, Miss., Oct. 20 to take on Southern Miss. The game will kick at 7 p.m.
"Everybody's got to come together and get over that hump together," Cato said.

By GARY POPP
CHARLESTOWN — A Sellersburg man was arrested in Charlestown on Friday after he forced his mother to drive him around to look for his girlfriend whom he had assaulted earlier in the day, according to police.
Marcus Buba, 23, of 2407 Hover Court, faces two preliminary felony charges following the incident that ended with his arrest at Circle K in Charlestown.
Charlestown police were contacted about 6:20 p.m. Friday after Buba's sister called 911 to report that her brother was forcing their mother to drive him around in a purple Chevrolet Malibu on Ind. 403 from Charlestown toward Sellersburg.
Buba's mother and sister said that he was seen earlier in the day slamming his girlfriend's face into a steering wheel of a car. After the reported physical assault, Buba went to his mother's place of work and demanded she take him to Sellersburg to find his girlfriend, his mother told police. She was hoping she would be able to take her son to Sellersburg, drop him off and leave, the mother told police.
While in the vehicle, the mother spoke with her daughter, who called 911 to alert police the carjacking had taken place. The sister told police that she feared for her and her mother's life, based on Buba's abusive history, if something wasn't done. The sister said that he had physically abused her and threatened her in the past, police reported.
As Buba and his mother were driving in the Malibu, he demanded that they stop to get ice for the injuries he caused to his girlfriend's face, according to the mother's statements.
She said after arriving at his girlfriend's residence, Buba and his girlfriend began to argue and at one point," ... [the girlfriend] came to her window and screamed at her for bringing Marcus [Buba] to her residence."
The girlfriend then left the area, according to the report.
The mother said that her son continued to yell and scream and was becoming irate. She told police that she was in fear of what he might do and that he would make good on his threats. Buba then demanded that his mother follow his girlfriend in the vehicle, but they lost the girlfriend on the roadway, according to the report. The two then went to a Chase bank because Buba thought his girlfriend may have gone there to close her account.
The woman was found at the bank, and Marcus exited the Malibu.
"[The mother] advised that she then drove off and parked at a Rite Aid in an attempt to see if the police were going to arrive and take him to jail," according to the report.
She then received a phone call from Buba to pick him up from Circle K. The mother went to the business, and Buba got into the vehicle.
"[The mother] advised that was when Marcus told her to get out of the car and that he had a knife," according to the police report.
She told police that after refusing to exit the vehicle, her son removed the keys and again demanded she get out of the car.
"[The mother] advised that she was afraid that if she didn't try to stay with [Buba], he would have taken the car and went to do harm to [his girlfriend]," police reported.
Buba returned the keys to his mother after she agreed to take him to a relative's home.
She told police that she convinced her son to let her stop for cigarettes at Circle K and was hoping that police would show up. She told officers that at one point Buba said to her, "You better not be setting me up," according to the police report. Police then arrived at the location and took Buba into custody. No weapons were found in the vehicle or in Buba's possession.
Buba was then transported to Charlestown Police Department where his sister and mother were providing statements.
" ... Buba became irate and began to scream and what sounded like an attempt to pull the book-in bench from the wall," according to the police report.
An officer then tried to calm him down.
"I spoke with Marcus [Buba] about his behavior, in which he advised he was upset for having to sit at the police department for so long and wanted to be transported to the jail," the officer put into the report.
He also told police that they were "chasing ghosts," and that no one would come to make a report against him.
Charlestown police officers had been notified by Sellersburg police Feb. 10 that Buba had made remarks that he intended on "forcing" law enforcement's hand if he were ever taken into custody, and that he would come at officers with a knife in order to get himself killed.
Buba was preliminarily charged with carjacking, a class B felony, and intimidation, a class D felony, before being taken to the Michael L. Becher Adult Correctional Complex in Jeffersonville.
He has yet to be officially charged, and court records do not reflect the time of his initial hearing.
According to court records, Buba is due in a Clark County court in April for a pending case in which he was charged with class A misdemeanor battery resulting in bodily injury in August.
In 2011, Buba pleaded guilty in Clark County to intimidation — threaten[ing] another with intent that they engage in conduct against will, a class A misdemeanor.
In October 2010, Buba was charged with A misdemeanor battery resulting in bodily injury. The charge was taken under advisement, and an agreed resolution was met at a later date.
He also has other battery convictions.

MonicaSanta Rosa, CAThe Search Is Over!!!I have been on a mission to find an iron that would work on my very untamed hair. Some one gave me a Conair, which worked, but it took 45 min to do it because I was going over the hair at least two times. I decided to try a Chi. I really wanted the original Sedu, but couldnt find it locally. The Chi was terrible. It took just as long and left my hair feeling dry and full of static. I used the same heat protectant as always so I know that wasnt the problem. I promtly returned the Chi and decided to order the Sedu. When I came here to purchase it, I saw this new one. At the time it only had a few reviews. I decided to go for it since Folica has such a good return policy. Boy am I glad I did!! I just cant believe it! I got it today and it only took me 15 minutes to straiten my mop. My hair is soft and very healthy looking. I am so happy that I bought this. It gets very hot very fast... I cant say enough. I am including pictures as I dont have time for another thousand words to tell you how wonderful this iron is!!4 out of 4 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Missy ♥Long Island, NYBetter Than The Original Sedu!I bought the original Sedu 1.5" a year ago and was amazed by the results. Perfect hair everytime in only a few minutes. But around a month ago I decided to have a party at my house and lets just say there were some sketchy people there. Needless to say my adored Sedu straightener went "missing" that night. I have no idea who steals a hair straightener, but im guessing they love it as much as I did. Anyways, I went through withdrawels without my Sedu because I had to go back to using my old Conair straightener. There was absolutely NO comparison between the two. After a week of "straightening" my hair with my old iron (and i use the word "straightening" loosely), I came running back to folica.com to order another Sedu. Thats when I came across the Sedu Revolution! I wasnt even aware that Sedu had come out with a new product so I was eager to try it out. And if it didnt work on my hair I could always return it within 30 days because folica has a great return policy. But the first time I used it I knew I was in love! It heats up in literally 10 seconds and straightens my wavy hair in only one swipe. My hair comes out perfect everytime and it only takes around 5-10 minutes to do my entire head of hair. And most importantly it stays straight for the entire day! Everyone has noticed that my hair seems healthier and shinier than ever before. The original Sedu was fabulous, but this one is even better. You will not regret buying it. I promise =)4 out of 4 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

AnonymousD.C.Cute And Works Exactly As AdvertisedAt first I was hesitant about ordering the Sedu Revolution Nano Tourmaline Hair Styler online. Not only did this not have a review, but Im usually wary about making online purchases in general. I got my product about 4 business days later - it wouldve reached me earlier had their not been a snowstorm where I live.Well, I read the HUNDREDS of positive feedback on the original Sedu Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Straightener and thought why not try my luck on the new and upgraded flat iron?So I tried my luck despite not having read any reviews on this product. I mean whose to say newer is necessarily better?I am pleased to inform anyone reading this review that this Sedu Revolution Nano Tourmaline Hair Styler works swell! For the Shamrockfest (a St. Patricks Day event) I straightened my girlfriends extremely curly/wavy hair. At first I tried the medium setting, but after trial and error I went with the max setting and it worked wonders for her hair - it became silky,smooth, and straight. The plates didnt snag her hair like Im used to. So after trying my flat iron on her, I tried it on myself on the medium setting since my hair is just slightly wavy and fluffy. It was awesome, no pain, snagging and breaking of hair strands. With my old flat iron, my hair often got snagged so I had to keep pinching it down instead of one smooth downward motion. Also I couldnt reach closer to my bangs and create lose curls with the old one - the Sedu Revolution Nano Tourmaline Hair Styler 1 inch plate width made that totally possible - flip outs and all (worked well with my new layered haircut)!2 out of 2 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Well ..... all i can say is WOW!! I saw this item on QVC and said it in the catalog & i would give it a shot. Man am i glad i did !!! My home is a smoke free / pet free home with little dust ..... but this purifier definitely still works for me as well. The home is a lot fresher, my son allergies are more clearer & i have way fewer headaches than before so this must be doing its job. I'm gonna buy 1 more for the other side of the house. Well worth the price. And for replacement filters - they still available at Oreck website. :)
4/15/2012 - SRA - Huntsville, TX
After suffering with unbearable adult onset allergies and possible asthma, accompanied by all night hacking and coughing and constant drainage, I read the reviews and decided I'd try this. After only 4 days, the difference is amazing. Slept all night the FIRST night. First time since Dec 2008. I hope this isn't all in my mind, but so far, so good and what a value. I have invested hundreds in Sharper Image, Honeywell and other filters. This beats them all.
3/28/2012 - DC - Alexandria, VA
This Oreck works rings around other Hepa filter systems. We have (3) three GE systems. Our area has terrible allery problems that are now lasting the entire year. From the moment I plugged this Oreck in, it started blowing out the most wonderful smelling air. If you put it on the strongest setting, you get max results. This Oreck is pulling pollen out of the air that our other 3 units are missing. This is a GREAT value!
2/1/2012 - DH - Earth City, MO
Just got this two days ago and it is the best air purifier I have ever bought! My congestion is gone after only two days. I love it. You won't be sorry for this buy!
12/30/2011 - WJB - Maywood, IL
This is a very nice machine. I have always believed in air purifiers. But the cost to buy a machine was just too high. I am coughing less and enjoy the fresher air in my room. This product would have received a five star but you have to search for the filters. Heartland does not sell the filters. Sell the filters and I will change the rating to a five star.
3/6/2010 - BJS - houston, TX
this is an awesome air purifier!! we've had it less than a week and can tell the difference in the way we feel already--less sneezing,congestion,clearer-in-the-head,off antihistimines!! (and for the record, we're not the nutty type)
