Article: Retrograde Arterialized Free Venous Flaps for the Reconstruction of the Hand: Review of 14 Cases
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Purpose Although the literature is encouraging with regard to the survival rate of arterialized free venous flaps, previously reported difficulty in healing owing to early venous congestion and subsequent epidermolysis continues to prevent their widespread application. We report 14 arterialized free venous flaps for primary reconstruction of the hand, with inflow in the arterialized vein running against the valves. Methods Between February 2010 and May 2012, we performed 14 arterialized free venous flaps, each of which included at least 2 veins running in parallel. The arterialized vein was anastomosed in a retrograde manner, with the inflow running against the valves. All flaps were customized with regard to dimension, shape, quality of skin, pedicle length, vessel size, inclusion of additional anatomical structures, and donor site. The flaps were used to cover small, medium, and large defects; 2 flaps were larger than 100 cm2. Three flaps were injected with indocyanine green on the table after harvesting, to visualize the vascular tree of the flap. These 3 flaps were then monitored with systemic indocyanine green injection and an infrared camera for 3 days postoperatively. Results All but 1 flap survived. Venous congestion and epidermolysis were observed in 2 small flaps. The flaps injected with indocyanine green displayed a ramified vascular tree with no arteriovenous flow-through phenomenon. Conclusions Arterialized free venous flaps with retrograde arterial flow offer thin and pliable coverage that fits easily around the contours of the hand. They are easy to harvest, with little donor site morbidity. Tendons or nerves can be incorporated for reconstruction of composite defects. Clinical relevance Our series suggests the possibility of routine use of a free venous flap with retrograde arterial flow for reconstruction of the hand.

Article: The reoperation cascade after breast augmentation with implants: What the patient needs to know.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Breast augmentation with implants is the most commonly performed aesthetic surgical procedure. However, the risk of complications requiring revision surgery with unsatisfactory final results is often underestimated. In a 10-year retrospective study, patients receiving implant exchange or implant removal after breast augmentation were reviewed with regards to surgical technique, implant type and position, complications and follow-up interventions. As many as 230 patients were included with a mean age of 40.23 years. A total of 192 (83.5%) had primary augmentation for aesthetic reasons, 24 (10.4%) patients were transsexuals and 14 (6.1%) were treated for malformations. The median primary implant size was 260, 224 and 327 g for aesthetic, malformation and transsexual patients, respectively. Capsular contracture was the leading cause for revision in aesthetic patients whereas size and shape were the main reasons for reoperation in transsexual and malformation patients, respectively. As many as 25% of patients required more than one revision procedure. The time between operations in aesthetic augmentation patients was significantly shorter for the second revision procedure (106.2 months vs. 11.4 months, p < 0.0001). The cumulative risk for needing a second revision procedure in aesthetic patients at 12 months was 24.5%. There was no correlation between implant site, size, position or type of complication and the number of revision procedures. Our data highlight the high complication rate of revision surgery involving implant removal or replacement. We conclude that patients must be routinely informed of the high risk and arduous consequences of revision surgery, which should be stated as such in the written consent for the procedure.Journal of Plastic Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery 10/2012; · 1.44 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Up to 9% of all burn victims in western countries are reported to have been caused by self-immolation with suicidal intent and usually involve extensive injuries. The authors sought to identify differences between suicide burn victims as opposed to those who sustained their injuries accidentally with regard to injury severity and mortality and determine the possible impact of suicide as a prognostic variable in the context of a scoring system such as the Abbreviated Burns Severity Index (ABSI). The data of all burns patients treated at the Specialist Burns Intensive Care Unit, University Hospital Zürich, between 1968 and 2008 were analyzed retrospectively. Of the 2813 patients included in the study, 191 were identified as attempted suicides, most commonly involving the use of accelerants. Thirty percent of all suicide victims had preexisting psychiatric diagnoses. Suicide victims presented with significantly more extensive burns (53.7%, ±0.98 SEM vs 21.4 %, ±0.36 SEM, P < .0001), had higher total ABSI scores (8.4, ±0.23 SEM vs 6.6, ±0.05 SEM, P < .0001), and had higher mortality rates (42.9% [83/191] vs 16.3% [426/2622]) than accident victims. Furthermore, logistic regression revealed suicide to be a significant predictor of mortality as inhalation injury (odds ratio 2.2, 95% confidence interval 1.4-3.5, P < .0003 and odds ratio 2.4, 95% confidence interval 1.4-4.0, P < .0009, respectively). The odds of dying from an attempted suicide are twice as high compared with those of accident patients in the same ABSI category, making suicide a powerful predictor of mortality. The authors therefore suggest including it as a fixed variable in scoring systems for estimating a patient's mortality after burn injuries such as the widely used ABSI.Journal of burn care & research: official publication of the American Burn Association 01/2012; 33(5):642-8. · 1.54 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In light of changes in patient demographics together with constant developments in burn care, the predictive accuracy of the Abbreviated Burns Severity Index (ABSI) - first described in 1982 - for estimating the mortality of present day burns patients, may be questionable. We reviewed the records of 2813 burns patients treated between January 1968 and December 2008 in the intensive care unit at our institution, aiming to identify emerging discrepancies between the estimated and calculated outcome, based on each of the ABSI variables and the total burn score. The predictive value of each of the defined ABSI variables was confirmed to be highly significant. Univariable and multivariable analysis revealed an exponential increase in odds ratio (OR) for mortality for patients older than 60 years and more than 30% TBSA burned and showed OR values over 10 times higher than other significant variables like inhalation injury. Nevertheless, the ABSI for the estimation of mortality in our entire patient collective was highly accurate and could not be optimised by adapting the point distribution to the increase in OR. Our data indicates that despite significant changes in patient demographics and medical advances over the past 30 years, the ABSI scoring system is still an accurate and valuable tool in the prediction of burn patient mortality.Burns: journal of the International Society for Burn Injuries 04/2011; 37(6):958-63. · 1.95 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study aims to review our experience in the surgical management of microstomia following facial burns. For this retrospective study, we searched our burn patients' database for oral commissuroplasties with local mucosal flaps and reviewed the 18 patients suffering from microstomia after facial burns who had been operatively treated between 1995 and March 2007. Fifteen of the patients were primarily treated for severe facial burns in our burns unit, three were referred to our outpatients clinic for secondary reconstruction. Reconstruction of the oral commissures was performed according to one of the following methods: (1) triangular scar excision and mucosal Y-V advancement (n=10), (2) scar excision and wound closure with full-thickness or split-skin graft (n=4) and (3) division of the contracture and closure of the resulting defect with two rhomboid mucosal flaps per side (n=4). All patients showed acceptable aesthetic results and a good functional outcome. Apart from minor wound-healing disturbances, which neither required surgery nor worsened the result, no complications were observed. Patient satisfaction was high. Commissuroplasty is an early functional post-burn corrective procedure that often must be performed prior to completion of scar maturation. Mucosal advancement flaps are a viable procedure for the treatment of microstomia after facial burns, resulting in good aesthetic and functional outcome. Direct scar excision and skin grafting, although unavoidable in cases of extensive perioral scarring, frequently produces inferior results.Journal of Plastic Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery 11/2009; 63(4):e351-7. · 1.44 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to provide an increased level of evidence on surgical management of high-tension electrical injuries compared with thermal burns using a case-controlled study design. Sixty-eight patients (64 males, 4 females, aged 33.7 +/- 13 years) with high-tension electrical burns were matched for age, gender, and burnt extent with a cohort of patients sustaining thermal burns. Data were analyzed for cause of accident (occupational vs nonoccupational), concomitant injuries, extent of burn and burn depth, surgical management, complications, and hospital stay. High-tension electrical burn patients required an average of 5.2 +/- 4 operations (range, 1-23 operations) compared with 3.3 +/- 1.9 (range, 1-10 operations) after thermal burns (P = .0019). Amputation rates (19.7% vs 1.5%), escharotomy/fasciotomy rates (47% vs 21%), and total hospitalization days (44 d vs 32 d) were significantly higher in high-tension electrical injuries (P < .05). Creatinine kinase levels were significantly elevated during the first 2 days in patients with subsequent amputations. Free flap failure was observed during the first 4 weeks after the trauma, whereas no flap failure occurred at later stages. Local, pedicled, and distant flaps were used in 15% of the patients. The mortality in both groups was 13.2% vs 11%, respectively (nonsignificant). High-voltage electrical injury remains a complex surgical challenge. When performing free flap coverage, caution must be taken for a vulnerable phase lasting up to 4 weeks after the trauma. This phase is likely the result of a progressive intima lesion, potentially hazardous to microvascular reconstruction. The use of pedicle flaps may resemble an alternative to free flaps during this period.Journal of burn care & research: official publication of the American Burn Association 04/2009; 30(3):400-7. · 1.54 Impact Factor -
Article: Factor V Leiden mutation and thrombotic occlusion of microsurgical anastomosis after free TRAM flap.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The transverse rectus abdominis muscle flap is widely used in free microvascular tissue transfer for breast reconstruction following mastectomy. Flap survival may be compromised by failure at the microsurgical anastomosis due to both venous and arterial thrombosis. It is unclear, whether hereditary thrombophilia represents a risk factor for early thrombotic occlusion following free flap procedures. We present a case of a patient with previously diagnosed activated protein C resistance caused by heterozygous factor V (position 1691 G-->A) Leiden mutation in whom a free transverse rectus abdominis muscle flap was performed. The postoperative course was complicated by repeated thrombosis of both the venous and arterial part of the anastomosis. Immediate thrombectomy and repeated arteriography allowed for partial flap salvage. More data are needed to analyze the impact of hereditary thrombophilia on microvascular anastomosis failure.Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis 12/2008; 16(2):199-203. · 1.02 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Burn injuries are a serious threat to individuals with altered consciousness during epilepsy. The objective of this study detailing 33 individuals who sustained scalds or burn injuries during an epileptic seizure, was to clarify typical injury mechanisms, extent, therapy and sequelae of these injuries and thus identify potential preventive measures to protect this special population from thermal trauma. Overall, 16 women and 17 men with a mean age of 39.6 (range: 21 - 76) years were included in this retrospective review. The burned body area averaged 16 % (maximum: 51 %), 30 of the 33 patients (91 %) required burn wound excision and skin grafting. The mean ABSI score was 5.5 (range: 3 to 11) points. Thermal trauma mostly occurred as hot water scalds (n = 19) during showering or bathing in a tub (n = 15), followed by falls during cooking or into open fire. None of our patients was informed about the risk of experiencing severe thermal injuries during epileptic seizures. The length of intensive care averaged 33 days (maximum: 79 days), all patients survived. The estimated treatment costs were at least 50,000 Euros per patient. In conclusion, epileptic seizures can cause severe and deep thermal trauma. Our data shows that most of these injuries happen at home and may be easily prevented by simple safety devices, such as water thermo-regulators or the avoidance of high-risk situations, it seems advisable to inform patients with epilepsy and their families and care-givers of this specific danger.Handchirurgie · Mikrochirurgie · Plastische Chirurgie 12/2008; 40(6):372-6. · 0.86 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: To assess the nature and rates of complications and recurrences after completion lymph node dissection (CLND) following positive sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in melanoma patients. In contrast to SLNB, CLND is associated with considerable morbidity. CLND delays nodal recurrence, thereby prolonging disease-free survival (DFS), but not overall melanoma-specific survival. Elaborate studies on morbidity and recurrence rates after CLND are scarce. Therefore, many controversies concerning extent and nature of CLND exist. We conducted a retrospective study on 100 melanoma patients, on whom we performed CLND between October 1999 and December 2005. The median observation period was 38.8 months. We performed a total of 102 CLNDs, [46.1% axillary (47/102), 42.2% groin (43/102), 11.8% neck (12/102)]. Groin dissection (GD) and axillary dissection (AD) led to comparable morbidity (47.6% and 46.8%), but complications were more severe in GD, mandating additional surgery in 25.6% (11/43), versus 8.5% (4/47) in AD. Of the GD patients, 18.5% (8/43) were readmitted for complications compared with 10.4% (5/47) of AD patients. Only 8.3% (1/12) of ND patients suffered complications, mandating neither readmittance nor further surgery. During the median observation period, 65 (65%) of these patients showed DFS, and 35 (35%) exhibited recurrences after a median DFS of 12.5 months. Of the recurrences, 31.4% were nodal, 42.9% distant, and 25.7% local/in-transit. Of our AD patients, 28.3% suffered recurrences (13/46), as did 33.3% of the GD (14/42) and 66.7% of the ND patients (8/12). CLND is fraught with considerable morbidity. Local control of the dissected nodal basins was achieved with a modified radical approach in ADs (levels I + II only) and, to a lesser extent, GDs, but not in NDs. Clinical trials are necessary to establish guidelines on the extent of lymphatic dissection.Annals of Surgery 05/2008; 247(4):687-93. · 6.33 Impact Factor - Handchirurgie Mikrochirurgie Plastische Chirurgie - HANDCHIR MIKROCHIR PLAST CHIR. 01/2008; 40(06):372-376.

ABSTRACT: High-voltage burns represent a challenging surgical entity. Compared to conventional burns, these injuries are characterized by an increased morbidity and worse potential for rehabilitation. The aim of the present study was to analyse the management of high-voltage injuries during the early posttraumatic period with special emphasis on the surgical procedures. PATIENTS/MATERIAL AND METHOD: We retrospectively evaluated the medical records of patients with electrical injuries treated from 1995 - 2007. A total of 61 patients (57 men, 4 females, mean age: 34 +/- 13 years) with high-voltage burns was included for analysis. The majority of high-voltage burns was work-related (75 %). The mean total burn area was 35 % of the total body surface, with a mean of 29 % deep burns. An average of 4.8 +/- 4 operations were performed per patient (range: 1 - 23 operations). Surgical procedures included repeated debridement/necrectomy (100 % of all patients), early escharotomy/fasciotomy (47.5 %), and amputations (18 %). 14 patients (23 %) underwent reconstructive surgery using either local or free flaps. The mortality rate was 15 %. The surgical management of high-voltage burns is characterised by repetitive debridements and necrectomies. Despite an aggressive approach to remove necrotic tissue, the mortality in this type of injury is considerably high. Limb salvage may be achieved with the use of free microvascular flaps. However, an amputation of necrotic extremities must be considered in the copresence of septic complications.Handchirurgie · Mikrochirurgie · Plastische Chirurgie 11/2007; 39(5):345-9. · 0.86 Impact Factor -
Article: Initial experiences using non-cultured autologous keratinocyte suspension for burn wound closure.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Early complete wound closure and thus reduction of excessive scar formation still represent a major clinical challenge in severely burned patients. A novel concept to cover large burn wounds consists of the application of non-cultured epithelial cell suspension within the first days. Herein, we report our experiences with three patients treated with CellSpray XP. According to the amount of cell suspension required, a skin biopsy was harvested and then processed in an external laboratory. Two days later the suspension containing autologous non-cultured keratinocytes was applied using an aerosol system. All wounds healed rapidly and virtually no signs of hypertrophic scarring were observed 6 months later.Journal of Plastic Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery 10/2007; 61(11):e1-4. · 1.44 Impact Factor -
Article: Retrospective analysis and clinical evaluation of mandible reconstruction with a free fibula flap
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the indications for and the functional and cosmetic results of mandible reconstruction using free vascularized fibular flaps. It was also designed to assess the patients' quality of life, daily activities, and self-esteem, with special emphasis on patient satisfaction. We conducted a retrospective chart review of all patients who underwent osseus or osteocutaneous free flap reconstruction of the mandible over a 10-year period (1992–2002). Those in whom a vascularized fibular flap was used were included in the study and invited for a follow-up comprehensive physical examination and x-ray evaluation. A questionnaire was also administered to evaluate patient satisfaction. Twenty-six patients were included in the study. Fourteen patients died after an average of 2 years and 9 months postoperatively due to their prognosis despite surgical intervention and adjuvant therapy. Of the remaining 12 patients, 6 appeared for the follow-up evaluation, 2 were unavailable for follow-up, and 4 denied participating. Of these 6 patients, all experienced a decrease in pain and were satisfied with their results. At the time of the latest follow-up, they experienced some difficulties swallowing, and in 3 patients, their articulation was impaired. All 6 patients would undergo the procedure again. Reconstruction of the mandible using a vascularized fibular graft produces satisfactory functional and cosmetic results. In benign lesions, the procedure is highly indicated. However, in the case of malignancy, most patients do not survive their primary tumor. Given the patients limited life expectancy, the improvement in their quality of life as a result of the improved appearance and function of the reconstructed mandible needs to be weighed against the potential morbidity of the operative intervention on an individual basis.European Journal of Plastic Surgery 02/2007; 29(6-29):293. - Handchirurgie Mikrochirurgie Plastische Chirurgie - HANDCHIR MIKROCHIR PLAST CHIR. 01/2007; 39(5):345-349.

ABSTRACT: Summary:Assessing the vascular status and anatomy of the lower extremity is of crucial importance when planning the coverage of a tissue defect with a free flap. The standard techniques comprise the clinical examination, Doppler ultrasound and Doppler sonography for healthy patients without suspected direct trauma to the vascular system, and conventional digital subtraction angiography (DSA), respectively, in case of traumatized vessels or patients with peripheral arterial obstructive disease. Materials:We have conducted a prospective study for the comparison of the magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) to the conventional DSA. Fourteen patients were examined presurgically by means of both a conventional DSA and an MRA before undergoing planned microvascular coverage of tissue defects of the lower extremity. The surgeon, based on a questionnaire, assessed and compared both examination results according to their information content. Furthermore, the presurgically planned level and localization of the vascular anastomoses and the intraoperative findings were compared postoperatively. Results:The MRA examination yielded sufficient information on the vascular anatomy to enable the surgeon to carry out a detailed presurgical planning. Additionally, the use of MRA showed clear advantages with regard to both patient and user comfort. Conclusion:Taking into account the advantages for the assessment of vessels using MRA, in particular when considering the impact of the frequently varying vascular anatomy of the lower leg on reconstructive surgery, as well as the significantly lower morbidity rate of the examination itself, then the MRA must be regarded as a safe alternative to the DSA.European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery 01/2007; 33(1):40-45. · 0.26 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The surgical therapy of oropharyngeal carcinoma by means of a free jejunum graft is an established procedure. The application of a monitor segment for postoperative flow control turned out to be a reasonable modification. In this study, we examine the results over a period of 16 years retrospectively. Between 1988 and 2004, 53 patients underwent oropharyngeal reconstructions by means of 58 free jejunum grafts at the clinic for reconstructive surgery in cooperation with the clinic for otorhinolaryngology. All patients were examined postoperatively with the help of a small jejunum loop in the function of a monitor segment to survey flap vitality. Between the 7th and 11th postoperative day the patients were administered Gastrografin to evaluate oesophagojejunal anastomoses. The survival ratio of the transplants in this series amounted to 90.6 %. All anastomoses were initially passable and leak-proof. After a complete loss of the first graft, five patients were successfully reconstructed with a second jejunum graft. In one patient, the vessel anastomoses had to be revised. In two patients, newly formed stenoses were postoperatively treated with a bougie during hospitalisation. In four patients, fistula formation was detected in the follow-up examination. Substantial advantages of the free jejunum graft compared to other alternative free or local tissue transfers are the excellent functional results, the simple local tumour monitoring and the low complication rate.Handchirurgie · Mikrochirurgie · Plastische Chirurgie 01/2007; 38(6):398-402. · 0.86 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Liposuction is one of the most common aesthetic procedure used in plastic surgery. Reports are available on the results, the probable complications, and the feedback of patients. However, systematic studies dealing with these aspects using reliable large-enough data are still needed. The data comprised 116 procedures during a 6-year period up to 2005. The data were processed and categories of results were formed. Furthermore, a follow-up examination and a survey on the feedback of patients were carried out. Significant differences were identified in indications, results, and complications. The follow-up examinations and the survey showed satisfying results. In the majority of cases, surgeons were satisfied with the operations. In conclusion, if conducted by qualified surgeons in appropriate surgical conditions and postoperative care possibilities, liposuction may be considered as a reliable surgical procedure. The success of this procedure depends, however, on suitable infrastructure and operative competence.European Journal of Plastic Surgery 12/2006; 29(5):209-215. - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Atrophies of the intrinsic muscles of the hand are considered to be a typical symptom of the "true neurologic" form of thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). The classical form of this entity was described as early as 1970, consisting of a cervical rib or a prolonged transverse process of C7, complete with a fibrous band to the first thoracic rib, resulting in atrophy of the intrinsic muscles of the hand. All our TOS patients presenting with such atrophy displayed anatomical findings consistent with this definition. Based on this observation, the TOS classification currently in clinical use, which differentiates between "disputed" and "true neurologic" subgroups of the neurologic form, is reviewed. In all cases of "true neurologic TOS" with atrophy of the intrinsic muscles of the hand, the lateral thenar muscles are affected first. We present the electrophysiological long-term results of such thenar atrophies of seven patients with eight operated extremities after brachial plexus decompression. The amplitude of the neurographically measured potential over the opponens pollicis and the abductor pollicis brevis muscle, respectively, was defined as quantitative parameter for muscles atrophy. Neither distinct reinnervation nor progressive denervation was evident in any of the cases after a follow-up period, on average, of more than five years post surgery. These findings are in conflict with clinical observations reporting a major postoperative improvement of the motor deficits.Handchirurgie · Mikrochirurgie · Plastische Chirurgie 03/2006; 38(1):42-5. · 0.86 Impact Factor -
Article: Lyell syndrome revisited: analysis of 18 cases of severe bullous skin disease in a burns unit.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Over the last few years, understanding of the pathophysiology of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), or Lyell's disease, has substantially increased. However, differentiation of severe bullous skin disease remains a challenge for the clinician, and one that is often complicated by late patient referral. We performed a retrospective analysis of all patients with severe bullous skin disease, admitted between 1997 and 2002 to the Burn Centre, which is an integrated part of the Division for Plastic, Hand- and Reconstructive Surgery at the University Hospital of Zurich, Switzerland. We present an overview of our strategies and of the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties encountered. The final diagnoses of the 18 patients referred to the unit were as follows: eight cases of TEN, one case of staphylococcal scalded-skin syndrome (SSSS), two cases of generalised drug eruption, one case of acute generalised exanthematic pustulosis and one case of febrile ulceronecrotic pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA). In two cases, the diagnosis remained unclear. In three cases, paraneoplastic origins were suspected but not demonstrated. The overall mortality rate was 33% (six of 18 patients). Remarkably, all patients with histologically confirmed TEN survived. Six of these patients were successfully treated with intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG). The most common single causative drug inducing TEN (four cases out of eight) was Phenytoin. Establishing an accurate diagnosis-based on a skin biopsy, harvested at an early stage-is more important than ever, because more specific and effective therapeutic modalities are available. As these potentially life-threatening bullous skin disorders are rare, we recommend, that care be provided by an experienced interdisciplinary team, comprising a dermatologist, or dermatopathologist, an intensive care specialist and a plastic surgeon.British Journal of Plastic Surgery 02/2005; 58(1):73-80. · 1.29 Impact Factor

How To Eat More Vegetables
A funny thing happens when I'm chatting with a new acquaintance, and they find out that I'm vegan. They almost always say, Oh... I need to eat more vegetables... And then they shuffle their feet and avoid eye contact, I suppose because they're afraid I'm going to try to recruit them into the Vegan Army. As far as I know, nobody ever wants to go vegan simply because they've just met a vegan. But something about coming face to face with a full-time plant eater seems to nudge people into realizing that maybe they don't eat quite enough plants for their own good.
Do you need to eat more vegetables? Great! Eat more vegetables! Problem solved, right? Well, I wish it was that easy. When most people think of "eating vegetables," they have dull visions of pale dinner salads, woody carrot sticks, and maybe some overcooked bell peppers on their meat-laden pizza. I can't blame anybody for not getting excited over that.
But still, the key to eating more vegetables actually is to eat more vegetables. In some ways, it really is that simple. Look for ways of sneaking vegetables into your meals. Grate or blend vegetables into soups and sauces. Add chopped veggies to casseroles. Make grilled vegetable sandwiches and pizzas. Get crazy with exotic, hearty salads. Make a carrot cake for dessert. Have a green smoothie for breakfast. Without making a big deal over it, you can pack a lot of veggies into your day without ever having to suffer through a plain bowl of lettuce.
When you do this, and make it into a habit, sooner or later the vegetables will begin to displace some of the less healthy foods you're eating. You can only eat so much, right? Eat the veggies first, and let them crowd out some of the other stuff. Then, the next time you meet a vegan, instead of feeling uncomfortable, you might even have a few recipes to share!

HAVING A CASING WITH A MAGNIFYING 4 William Erwelchvspringfield, Ohio, assignor to The Ch n y M n f ct n qmnp ny spr nsfield, Ohio, at corporatioir oi Ohio Application -August 2, 19Q4;'Serial No. 547fi69 .3 Claims. 1 Y Y, z This invention relates to. a magnifying device and lsdesigned primarily for use with a. thermometer but is not limited tosuch use. r , One object of the invention is to provide a mag-. nifying device which can be applied at relatively low cost to a thermometer or other indicating device to enable the small size indications of the latter to be easily read at substantial distances therefrom. ' ,1 Afurther object of the invention is to provide a magnifying device of molded material the surfaces of which do not require grinding or a similar finishing operation to enable it to function as a magnifying element. A further object of the invention is to provide amagnifying device which is of relatively light weight and is less subject to breakage than is glass. A further object of the invention is to provide an indicating device with a casing one wall of which is formed of a molded transparent plastic shaped to form a magnifying element. A further object of the invention is to provide an indicating device, of the type having an elongate series of graduations, with a magnifying device extending for the full length of said series of graduations and shaped to uniformly magnify all parts of said graduations and the associated indications, without distortion, and which can be produced at a low cost. A further object of the invention is to provide a tightly closed casing for a thermometer the main portion of which is formed of plastic material and one Wall of which constitutes a magnifying element. Other objects of the invention may appear as the device is described in detail. In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a front elevation, partly broken away, of a magnifying device embodying the invention, showing the same applied to an ordinary thermometer; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, and partly in elevation; and Fig. 3 is a transverse section taken on the line 33 0 Fig. 1. I In these drawings I have illustrated one embodiment of my invention and have shown the same as applied to a thermometer of a well known type. In this form the magnifying element is elongate in shape, with a convex outer surface, and comprises a part of a casing-in which the temperature indicating elements are supported, but it is to be understood that the magnifying element may be of any suitable shape and may be supported in any suitable manner in operative (ems-s12) relation to. an. indicating. device. or other device havingmarks, letters or figures which it isidesired to gmagnifyl. a, The magnifying element, ,,and in the present instancethe main portion of. the casing,yis formed, preferably by melding, of ,a transparent plastic material of tsuch a character thatjghe molded surfaces thereof will be-clearg-an d smooth. Thus le molded magnifying, element is completegand ready for its intended: use without grinding or other treatment to impart theretothe necessary transparency and contour, such ,as isrequired in the-manufactureof a lass magnifying element and which renders the glass magnifying device so expensive as to practically; prohibitits :use in an ordinary thermometerorpther: low priced device. Further, such plastic material is much lighter in weight thanglass and less fragile than glass and is therefore better adapted for useon thermometers and the like. Any plastic materialhaving the necessarytransparency and-the moldedsurfaces of which are clear and sm'oothcanbe used, and the plastic known-commercially as "Lucite" is wellasuited for the purpose. i The magnifying element 5 comprises abody of plastic material of .a-form suited; to thedevice to which it is to .be applied; and. in theIi-llustrated embodiment it is. of the elongate and relatively narrow. form best adaptedv for use.v with .an ordinary thermbmetenandhas its inner surface flat and its outer surface curved. abouta longitudinal axis, the curvature oflsaid outersurfaceb'eing such. as to impart the desired magnifying .propertygtogthe element. -It. may be-supportedflin operative relation ,to the vtemperature indicating elements, or other parts to be magnified, in any suitable manner, and it isyhere vshown as, supported .by and forming a part of. a. casing 6 which encloses the indicating elements. Rreferably the magnifyingelementforms the front wall of the casing. and hasitsiend portions curved,-- or .otherwise deflected, rearwardly, ,as,shown ..-at L -and, 3. Side walls 9 extend rearwardlyhom. the. lateral edge portions Lof the .magni-fying. element and are joined attheiigends with the rearwardly-deflected end portions o f therlatterr llhencard 10,1Whi0h bearsthe graduations. and carries the tube. H and its bulb [2,..is supported in..the .cavity formed between the walls of the casing, whichareprovidedwithshoulders I3 toproperly. position the card. .Therear side of. the cavityismlosedby a suitable closure and preferably the closure is sufficiently tight to be weather proof. In the arrangement shown a closure plate H, of any suitable material, fits snugly in the rear portion have been inserted in the casing, and serves to retain the card and the tube supportedthereon in their proper positions in the casing. In this manner the major portions of the device, including the magnifying element, arecompletely formed by a single operation and inasmuch as the surfaces of the plastic material come from the mold in a clear smootl 'condition the; de;-. vice is immediately ready for assembly with the 7 indicating device, subject only to such cleaning of the surfaces as may be necessary. The lower end portion of the magnifying device, which is in front of the bulb I2, is of a light diffusing character to avoid the co'ncentration of, light rays on the bulb, which might unduly affect the temperature in the bulb. For this purpose the outer surface of the lower end portion is fluted or otherwise formed in a maner which will diffuse the light and will at the same time be ornamental, and the upper end surface of the element may be similarly formed for ornamental purposes. One of the rearwardly deflected end walls is provided with an opening Hi to permit circulation of air withinthe casing and this opening is preferably in the lower end wall to prevent rain or foreign matter from entering the casing when the thermometer is located out of doors. .The ends of the casing may also be provided with pintles H to enable the casingto be pivotallymounted in a suitable bracket. The magnifying element herein describedhas excellent magnifying qualities, it is of light weight, has ample strength and can be. produced at a low cost, and can therefore be applied to an ordinary thermometer, or other relatively low priced device, without an objectionable increase in the price thereof. By forming the magnifying element, integral with the supporting structure creasing for the tube and the indication bearing card and so shaping the casing that the card willfit snugly therein the entire structure, with the exception of the back wall, may be formed by a single operation and complete as,- sembly may be quickly and easily effected by merely inserting the casing with its attached tube in the casing and then attaching the back wall which retains the card in its proper position in the casing. The magnifying element being co extensive with the card uniformly magnifies all indications on the card as well as the column of liquid in the tube, without distortion. While I have shown and described one embodiment of my invention I wish it to be understood that I do not desire to be limited to the details thereof as various modifications may occur to a person skilled in the art. Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: ' 1. In a thermometer, a casing comprising, an elongate relatively narrow body of transparent solidified plastic material having in its rear side a cavity extending for the major portion of the length thereof, a card supported in said cavity and bearing a longitudinal series of temperature indications, a thermometer tube and bulb supported in fixed relation to said indications, said body having a, front portion shaped to form a magnifying element of a length approximately equal to the length of said series of indications, and also having a light diffusing wall in front of. and. extending above said bulb. 2.'A- magnifying device for a thermometer of the type comprising a tube, a bulb carried by said tube and a card fixed with relation to said tube and bearing a series of temperature indicati'ons said device comprising an elongate and relatively narrow body of transparent solidified plastic material adapted to be arranged in front of the tube, bulb and indication bearing card of said thermometer, that portion of said body which is to be positioned in front of the indications on said card having smooth clear surfaces shaped to magnify said indications, and that portion of said body which is to be positioned in front of said bulb having a light diffusing surface. 3. In a thermometer, a casing comprising an elongate and relatively narrow body of transparent solidified plastic material having inits rear side a relatively wide cavity extending for the major portion of the length thereof and having substantially parallel side walls, the walls of said cavity having adjacent the rear edges there of inner and outer shoulders, a card supported by said inner shoulders in a predetermined position in said cavity and bearing a longitudinal series of temperature indications, a thermometer tube supported in fixed relation to said indications, and a closure for the rear portion of said cavity supported by said outer shoulders, said body having a front portion shaped to form a magnifying element of the length and width approximating respectively the length and width of said series of indications.

Hi: 16° Lo:2° 7 day
RUBERY Youth Centre, which was due to close on December 31, leaving its teenage users with nowhere to go, has been given a stay of execution, The Standard can reveal.
Worcestershire County Council has now decided to keep the much-loved venue open until March, marking a small victory for the young people who have campaigned hard for more than two years to save their 'second home' on New Road.
Although they are still set to lose the centre, the delay has given them a lifeline so they can forge ahead with plans to form their own trust and relocate to a new building in the village.
Jamie Davies, 19, who is spearheading the campaign to maintain Rubery's youth services, welcomed the decision.
"Its great news - next Monday would have been our last day there, and there really wasn't enough time to do everything.
"It takes the pressure off a little." he said.
The county councillor responsible for the area, Peter McDonald, has backed the youngsters' fight and labelled the decision as a 'fantastic achievement'.
"To have a reprieve is wonderful news for the young people and residents.
"It gives them more time to put together a bid to ensure we continue to have youth provision in Rubery."
In October, Worcestershire County Council announced it would shut the centre on December 31, claiming it was unfit for purpose and would cost £374,000 to bring it up to standard.
And the authority, which is aiming to save £2million on youth services throughout the county, initially refused pleas from the campaigners to keep the centre open until June to allow them time to form their own trust.
Richard Keble, the county council's head of joint commissioning, said the decision was made after a company applying to take over youth services in the area pulled out.
He said: "In order to ensure no gap in continuation of positive activities for young people, it has been decided to extend provision of youth services at Rubery Youth Centre for a further three months to the end of March 2013.
"This will allow time to explore other options.
"The county council is committed to the continuation of positive activities for young people across the county, investing over £1million annually in commissioning of positive activities."

PGA.com's Niki Noto makes top 40
Photo courtesy Niki Noto's Twitter (@NikiNoto)
It's honestly not our style here at PGA.com to brag on ourselves or list out our accomplishments. Sure, we've won Emmys, Webbies, CableFax awards, etc...but we prefer to let others hype those accomplishments while we work everyday to make this site a better destination for all golfers.
But sometimes, an award or accolade comes out that deserves a little promotion. Not because it is any more important - but simply because either due to timing or placement, it serves the purpose of letting you know we're working hard to bring you the best information we can - in the best way that we can.
In that spirit, I present a list of "40 Most Popular Female Sports Reporters" currently making the rounds among sports fans via our friends at Bleacher Report. Pay particular attention to No. 12. You'll recognize her from our very own PGA.com's "Weekly Golf Buzz" - Ms. Niki Noto.
Normally, I'm not a fan of such lists. Then again, normally these lists are dotted with salacious and exploitive terms such as "hottest" or "sexiest", etc. And though Ms. Noto has been cited by many of those lists as well; we are proud her talent, work ethic and sports/golf knowledge are recognized as a true asset to PGA.com. We hope you enjoy her spirit and fun personality as each week she brings you the latest in what has the golf world buzzing.

Vintage 2010.
A: Quarter finger light mocha fades to translucent of the same. Beer is dark, dark brown. No lacing to speak of.
S: Extra roasty. Coffee, graham, cocoa, malt, licorice. I can say, however, the hops are still quite present. Piney, resiny. Malt dominant, but still hoppy.
T: Roast, cocoa, coffee, lighter hops with earthy feel. Good beer. Not spending much time here, but this is really good.
M: thick and syrupy. Like a good beer should be in this genre.
D: this is a really good beer. I hate to be a slave to price point, but at nearly $13 for a bomber, I want to be wowed. The beer is good, really really good. If under $9/bomber, I would be all about this one.

This beer pours a blackness with a beige foam head. The smell while not greatly profound does carry notes of blackened malts and bitter coffee. There is a touch of licorice in the nose as well. The taste mostly reminds of a bad cup of coffee. There is a distinct coffee flavor but mostly it's backed up by a burnt char flavor that lasts into the aftertaste. There is a nice medium sticky mouthfeel to the beer as well. It's drinkable, but only as it warms to room temperature. The only bitterness that I really can't get past is a burnt bitterness and it's pretty palatable in this beer and is really the only reason I was not too fond of it.

Thanks to VDubb86 for sharing this bottle!
With a name like "Old Growth" it has to be good, right? It pours a straight onyx topped by a finger of light-ish tan foam. The nose comprises blackened pretzels, light char, mild coffee, light anise and roasted malts. Things seem a bit too roasted, a bit too char-y for their own good. The taste holds notes of bitter dark chocolate, roasted malts, light molasses, coffee, licorice and a dash of chocolate syrup. A touch of what could be very light smoke flickers in the distance. The body is a solid, hefty-leaning medium, with a very light moderate carbonation and a fairly chewy feel. Overall, a pretty nice Oregonian stout, though it may be too much for its (or my) own good.

from notes.
Pours black with a thick mocha colored head that dissipates fairly quickly.
The aroma is of cocoa, with roasty malts. I can just barely pick up notes of the licorice.
The taste follows the nose fairly well. Cocoa mixed with astringent coffee, though the licorice is more pronounced then in the aroma.
The mouthfeel is smooth and medium bodied with subtle carbonation.
This was quite drinkable, and left me a very good impression of the brewery.

On draught at Bailey's, the 2009 Old Growth Imperial Stout is black with a tan collar that leaves light, scattered lace.
Smell is big on the caramel, honey, sweeter for a stout, but clearly one nevertheless. The lavender creeps out a bit as it warms, although this was so delicious, I didn't give it much chance to do so!
Taste is big, loads of complexity of this one, all the adjuncts combine with the chocolate and roast flavors of the malt to remind me of a really fancy truffle. I particularly enjoyed the lingering taste of the pink peppercorns. For so much complexity from the adjuncts, none of them are over done. Smooth, clean,well executed and exceptionally good.
Mouthfeel is slick, medium-light bodied, surprisingly, but not in a thin way, just not thick and heavy.
Drinkability is good, this is a really nice RIS, super unique. Crazy flavorful, yet smooth and dangerously drinkable. I'm really digging the lavender the most, I can picture myself in Brussels's Grand Plaza eating fancy chocolate, awestruck. Probably not their intention, but a nicely played invocation nevertheless!

Snagged a 12 oz. snifter of this elusive brew at Bailey's Taproom; this is the 2008 edition.
A: Crude oil blackness topped with a thin nutmeg orange head. Any head fades away to the thinnest circling ring, lace droops in slim bands and scattered speckles.
S: Malty sweet nose of fudgy chocolate, mild vanilla, candied fruit and a vague woodiness. Intriguing floral aroma, perfumed with lavender.
T: Big chocolate and an astringent coffee roast hit right upfront; sweeter notes of vanilla, even maple syrup, follow. Lots of grain, mild fruit (say, earthy blackberries?), and a fair amount of piney woodiness. LOVE the spiced honey flavor!
M: Lots of grit and grain fill the mouth, stick on the teeth. Imagine a cup of French Press coffee, how it sticks... That's the Old Growth way. Otherwise, a smooth carbonation and velvety mouthfeel. Long-lasting bittersweetness.
D: A hefty mouthful of darkness with each sip. Enjoyable, certainly a beer I'll have again. The guys at the Taproom were saying the 08 is great but that the 07 was incredible; note to Caldera: can this beer. Please.

found this delicious glory at Bailey's Taproom.
pours an absolute opaque oil black with tannish head. it just looked so enticing with its murkiness and darkness. by the color i knew i was in for a treat
rich rich malty aroma with caramel, roasty notes, chocolate, slight pepper, interesting floral notes, and i think licorice, slight dried figs or raisins, and candied sugars
BOOYA! on the palate. rich rich rich plethora of flavors begin the symphony of beer and endure for minutes. a rich coating of more bittersweet chocolate upfront, followed by semi-dry roasted notes, coffeish notes, hints of hot pepper, faint raisins, mildly floral notes which i couldnt place but are definetly there, and slight candied sugar notes on the finish.
super smooth and balanced with a medium weight, the beer just absolutely coats the mouth with layers of goodness. its hard to get all the nuances at once but man is there a lot to enjoy. balanced all the way through, not too sugary or dry, and the flavors just meld seamlessly together with every sip tasting different than the last, and no trace of the alcohol
amazing stuff, truly, one of the more memorable stouts I've had in a long time, with layers of flavor mixing together to create a textured, balanced, nuanced, and super smooth stout. i wish i had had the patience to drink it room temp. cause I'm sure even more goodness could be discovered, but alas, i enjoyed every second of the beer and if you see it on tap, order it

It's helpful to know something of what you're drinking in advance of drinking it. I knew Old Growth was an imperial stout, but I wasn't aware it was brewed with licorice, honey, chocolate, lavender, and pink pepper corns. So when I drew the snifter to my nose and inhaled its essence, I was caught off guard by its peculiar tapestry of fragrances. I kept wondering if the beer wanted to smell and taste as it did, or if bad luck was conspiring against it. I concluded that Old Growth suffered from no unintended intrusions, but I was still perplexed by its uncommon design.
I found Old Growth on tap at the Fort George Public House in Astoria where it was featured among other notables as part of Stout Month. Fort George was serving it in 12-oz. snifters where its panoply of sharp aromas was ably focused. Chocolate flavor was featured abundantly, yet the fragrance was also enhanced by a spice mix suggesting mint. The taste worked parallel to this and I was convinced I was drinking a chocolate mint elixir - pure girl scout cookie.
Old Growth's body is oily black with sepia froth. Its complexity makes it an anomaly in a snifter but a year of aging at least tempers this with some smoother contours. I came to enjoy it, but it's clearly not for everyone. 10.3% ABV.

Agent: Saints sign cornerback Trevin Wade
A day after Saints cornerback Jabari Greer suffered what his coach called a "significant" knee injury, New Orleans agreed to sign cornerback Trevin Wade, a 2012 seventh-round draft pick of the Cleveland Browns, Wade and his agent said Monday on Twitter.
There were no official Saints transactions on the NFL wire, and the team hasn't confirmed anything. But the player's agent, Michael Hoffman, confirmed to The Advocate in an e-mail that Wade had been signed to the 53-man active roster.
Hoffman first broke the news Monday when he wrote on Twitter, "Congrats to (Wade), the newest member of the Saints."
Saints fans then flooded the player's Twitter account, @TwoStarWade, with messages welcoming him to New Orleans. Wade subsequently tweeted, in part, "Really appreciate all the love ... Ready to play my role and add to the team success."
Wade, who played in college at Arizona, suited up in 13 games for Cleveland and recorded 17 tackles as a rookie. The Browns added two cornerbacks during the offseason, and Wade was waived in August after hurting his shoulder. Coincidentally, the Browns waived Wade to make room for rookie linebacker Eric Martin, whom the Saints had cut.
Greer was injured while defending a deep, third-down pass to San Francisco receiver Jon Baldwin midway through the first quarter of the Saints' 23-20 victory Sunday that lifted them to 8-2. Greer leapt and stretched out to bat the pass away with his left hand, and he landed with all of his weight on his left leg.
Greer apparently hyperextended the knee and then rolled his ankle after hitting the turf. He immediately fell and clutched at his left knee.
Trainers immobilized Greer's leg with an air cast and helped him onto the back of a cart. As he was driven away from the field, Greer pointed a finger at his teammates and waved at the crowd of more than 73,000 people in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
The scene was faintly reminiscent of the one cornerback Patrick Robinson experienced when he hurt his knee and was carted off in a Week 2 win at Tampa Bay. The Saints placed Robinson on season-ending injured reserve three days later. Coach Sean Payton on Monday morning declined to say what his plan for Greer is.
Greer has been a fixture in the New Orleans secondary since joining the Saints in 2009 after spending his first six NFL seasons with Buffalo. He has appeared in 63 regular-season games for the Saints and started all but three of them, breaking up 69 passes, intercepting nine and helping the team win Super Bowl XLIV.
He has missed 11 games for the Saints: two in 2012 (concussion, sports hernia), two in '10 (shoulder) and seven in '09 (groin). This season, Greer leads the team with 12 pass breakups, and he had an interception in the Week 4 win at home against Miami.
The cornerbacks on the Saints depth chart under Greer and fellow starter Keenan Lewis are second-year man Corey White, nine-year veteran Chris Carr and undrafted rookie cornerback Rod Sweeting.
White and Carr have rotated in on defense and played on special teams. Sweeting, who was inactive in seven contests, has only played on special teams.
Injury updates
Although they didn't practice, the Saints were required to release an injury report Monday ahead of Thursday's visit to Atlanta (2-8). Greer, Sweeting (hip), Carr (hip/back/hamstring), running back Darren Sproles (knee/ankle), safety Kenny Vaccaro (concussion) and tight end Ben Watson (concussion) were among those listed.
Sweeting, Vaccaro and Watson sat out Sunday's game. Sproles left for a portion of the game to have his ankle taped but continued playing. Carr played in the last defensive series.
Others on the injury report: defensive end Cameron Jordan (ankle), guard Ben Grubbs (neck), defensive lineman Akiem Hicks (back), defensive end Tyrunn Walker (knee), linebacker Curtis Lofton (hamstring/ankle), tight end Jimmy Graham (elbow/foot) and guard Jahri Evans (ankle).
Atlanta practiced Monday night; tight end Tony Gonzalez (toe) and defensive end Malliciah Goodman (calf) sat out.

by - written on 09/05/13, updated on 09/05/13 (Very useful, 90 readings)
Now that the weather is a little better we've been outside as much as possible, and this goal, which I got sent to try and keep, has featured quite heavily in our garden games. It's 7 x 5ft, as the product title would suggest and is a great garden item which has stood up to some quite rough play, being much enjoyed by my kids and their many visitors. The goal arrived packaged in an unassuming plain cardboard box. It was, it must be said, more than a little frustrating to assemble and the mainly visual instructions it came with were in parts not very clear, with reference to a "rebounder cover" that doesn't come appear to come with this set, but no ...

Taken without my knowledge in our hotel room at Monster Mania last night.
A bunch of us ended up in the room after partying like we were ten years younger than we are. I pride myself on obnoxious longevity in these sorts of situations, but last night, I was the first to fall.
Unfortunately, I fell while everyone else was still at it, and God knows how long it went on while I was unconscious.
Please note that I fell asleep clutching my new Boglin puppet. My first words this morning: "Is this a curtain or a blanket? It feels like a curtain."
My second words: "Can somebody please bring me Snapple?"

Paul McCartney was famously reluctant to become the Beatles' bass player when given the opportunity in 1961. He is quoted as saying "Nobody wants to play bass, or nobody did in those days". Bass players were possibly perceived as backing musicians, a role that the talented and good-looking "Macca" was naturally reluctant to adopt. Sir Paul did much to change the perception of the bass as a lesser instrument, and such bass playing lead singers such as Phil Lynott, Geddy Lee and Sting have continued to bring the bass to the forefront. Musician's Friend is the place to find the bass guitar for you – we have over 700 models to choose from including upright basses, fretless basses, left-handed basses, acoustic bass guitarsand signature model basses.

Sedu Pro Ionic 1.5 inch Complete Styling Flat Iron Set
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...CarolCary, N.C.Sedu Vs ChiI have a Chi and ordered this Sedu for my daughter for Christmas. Of course I tried it to see how it compares--it is fantastic!! Enough heat to really set it straight and very lightweight. My hair was straighter than I can get it with the Chi.posted Dec 13, 2004Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...RoseSan Antonio, TexasBest Flat IronI have A LOT of very curly and frizzy hair past my shoulders. I live in San Antonio and it is humid year around. I never thought I could have the smooth and shiny salon look on a daily basis. THIS IS THE BEST FLAT IRON! It worked beautifully and quickly. I have been searching for a long time for the perfect flat iron and this is it. I wash/condition my hair at night, let it air dry (to its usual curly & frizzy state) and use my Sedu in the morning. It looks great all day WITH NO BLOW DRYING! You will love this iron!posted Dec 13, 2004Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...ShannonSturbridge, MAWorth It!!!This flat iron is worth every penny. I was a little skeptical about spending over $100 on a flat iron but it fantastic. My hair is very curly and thick and this iron makes it perfectly straight. It is also very smooth and silky feeling which are just added bonuses. My hair does not get caught in the iron like it did on my other flat irons so there is less breakage. I love it and may buy another one to have in case this one ever breaks!!!posted Dec 13, 2004Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...ShellyeHouston, TexasBest I Have Ever UsedI love it, it doesnt burn my hair and leave a funny smell and it is super straight in half the time of my old straightener. I have naturally wavy/curly/frizzy hair that is very hard to control here in Texas. My hair is also very thick and very long (touching my waist), and it only take me 15 minutes to get it super straight. It also prevents, if not mends, my breaking hair. I highlight my hair and my old straightener (Helen of Troy) always caused split ends and breakage. It also heats up extra quickly. EXCELLENT!posted Dec 10, 2004Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...MelissaBostonGreatThis flat iron is amazing! I have really tight curls and I was never able to blow dry my hair straight. With this iron it takes 10 minutes after a blow dry and it look straighter and smoother than ever. I love it!posted Dec 10, 2004Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...Sandra SiegelNew YorkGreat ProductI really love my straightening iron. I have always had wavy hair and have tried to keep it fairly straight. However, when there is rainy weather and humidity, my hair gets flips and then looks poofy and frizzy. This iron has made a big difference and I have received a lot of compliments on how great my hair looks since I have started using this iron.posted Dec 10, 2004Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...RenataProvoFrom A Skeptic: It Works!Since I started straightning my hair with SEDU Ive been getting compliments left and right! Even from guys! I like the fact that it really does take half the time (if not less) to straighten my hair and actually looks natural! As long as I condition my hair properly, Im sure my hair will look as healthy as ever even after straighting it many times a week. I am satisfied with my purchase.posted Dec 9, 2004Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...DawnWonderful Flat Iron - Didn't Know I Could Have Straight Hair!!!This is the best product ever. I never knew my hair could be straight until I used this iron. Now it stays straight until the next time I wash it, even in humid weather! UNBELIEVABLE!!! My hair is silky straight!posted Dec 9, 2004Link to this post
Sedu Pro Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat I...IreneGreat Flat Iron!This flat iron is one of the best i have tried. Since ive used it I get more compliments on how nice my hair looks. It doesnt pull or break my hair like my old flat iron. I used to have the flat iron w/ saphire plates and after awhile i noticed my hair was breaking and wouldnt stay straight all day. With this new flat iron, my hair stays straight and beautiful all day! The only reason I dont give it 5 stars is that in the morining I hace static in my hair when i brush it, but that goes away as soon as i flat iron it. If it werent for the static I could almost just get up and go int the morning without any work at all!posted Dec 2, 2004Link to this post

What the **** did you just ******* say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my ***** in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the **** out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my ******* words. You think you can get away with saying that **** to me over the Internet? Think again, ****** . As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're ******* dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable *** off the face of the continent, you little **** . If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your ******* tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will **** fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're ******* dead, kiddo.
