Petland Undercover Expose
Petland Undercover Expose
This is an undercover expose on Petland (2006).
PetlandPetland, the largest pet shop chain in the country has more than 100 locations in the United States and dozens more in foreign markets - Canada, China, Mexico, France, Japan, Israel and South Africa. The Ohio-based chain buys a large number of dogs from the Hunte Corporation – the largest dog broker in the country. CAPS worked undercover for six months at Hunte Corporation and investigated some of the puppy mill breeders selling puppies to Hunte. The footage collected by our investigator during that time was prominently featured in two documentaries. (links).
For several years in the early 1990's, Canadian animal activist groups participated in our North American protests against pet shops selling puppy mills dogs the weekend before Christmas. The main protest targets were Petland and PJ's Pets, both of which stopped selling animals in 2012. CAPS contributed to CBC's "Marketplace" for a March 2009 story about pet shops and puppy mills. This national consumer newsmagazine expose featured a CAPS pet shop complainant who purchased a sick puppy at a PJ's. Her puppy was brokered by Hunte and bred by a puppy mill in Missouri that was investigated by CAPS.

Leather upholstery designers embrace color
Ask any fashionista to tell you what represents the Rolls Royce of handbags and you'll probably hear Hermes mentioned. The venerable Parisian couture and accessories company has millions of loyal fans, and although the $12,000 price tag of a Birkin means it's not in the budget for most people, the craftsmanship of the leather is duly appreciated by those familiar with the brand.

Dr. George Barthalmus, a longtime professor of zoology and biology who taught thousands of students and was a passionate advocate for undergraduate research, died last night.
Friends, colleagues and former students said no one embodied the ideals of NC State and its mission as a land-grant university better than Barthalmus.
"He was the epitome of everything from teacher to friend to mentor," said Dr. Anita Flick, director of the Health Professions Advising Center and a former student. "He bled this university about as much as anybody could."
Flick said Barthalmus, who came to NC State in 1970 as an assistant professor of zoology, had the ability to convey complex information in introductory biology and zoology classes in a way that was clear and relevant.
"He gave me an opportunity as a student to grow and develop my own ideas, while also teaching me at the same time," Flick said.
A Mile a Minute
Barthalmus became a full professor in 1984 and was named an NC State alumni distinguished undergraduate professor in 1993. In 1998, he became associate dean and director of academic programs in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Barthalmus retired in 2001, but later came back to the university as interim director of the University Honors Program and then director of the Office of Undergraduate Research.
Dr. Roger Callanan, assistant dean of undergraduate academic programs, said Barthalmus was an extraordinary adviser and friend to students. Barthalmus taught an estimated 16,000 students during his years at NC State.
"He lived his life so full," Callanan said. "Every day he had a smile. Every day he had a project. He was one of those people who moved a mile a minute. You couldn't help but be excited and dedicated in his presence."
Barthalmus often talked about the importance of NC State remaining true to its mission as a land-grant university, particularly when it came to reaching out to students in rural areas who might not have the same high school academic opportunities as students from urban areas with more resources.
"It would be a shame to see a North Carolina student interested in poultry science have to go to Arkansas because he couldn't get into NC State with an SAT score of 1,000," Barthalmus said in a 2001 profile in NC State magazine. "I'm afraid—if we have fewer and fewer rural students—that curricula such as poultry science, food science, agronomy, soil science and crop science will fade away."
Big Hair, Big Smile
Karl Smith a Raleigh dentist, said Barthalmus was one of the best teachers he had at NC State. He recalled Barthalmus showing up for class with his motorcycle helmet, a big head of hair and his ever-present smile.
"I had him for vertebrate biology," Smith said. "That can be really monotonous. You're basically studying the innards of animals. But he would bring the animals to life that he was describing, and tell you why you were learning a particular thing."
Administrators who worked with Barthalmus said he was a powerful advocate for students and undergraduate research.
"George thought the university was here to help everybody," said Dr. John Ambrose, dean of the Division of Undergraduate Academic Programs. "Anybody that came to him, he was willing to work with them. He reached out to any student who was interested in doing research."
Dr. Ken Esbenshade, associate dean and director of academic programs in CALS, said Barthalmus had been helped by a mentor when he was a student and always looked for opportunities to serve in that role for students at NC State.
"He was student-centered in everything he did," he said.
An Inspiration to Students
Dr. Judy Day, who worked with Barthalmus as assistant director of the Office of Undergraduate Research, said Barthalmus helped students realize their potential. She said students would leave excited about new opportunities after meeting with him .
Day recalled the last email she received from Barthalmus, earlier this week, asking about funding for a student research project.
"That was his passion," she said.
Barthalmus also wrote murder-mystery novels set on college campuses. The proceeds from his books supported the George T. and Marina T. Barthalmus Life Sciences Scholarship Endowment.
"George was a huge proponent of students," Day said. "The entire university is going to miss his driving force."

Torque's design centers on a removable, 36poundthrust trolling motor that drops into the hull aft of the angler and just ahead of the extra-large rudder. It plugs into a sealed connection. A 12 volt marine battery placed inside a built-in box in front of the angler powers the motor. The 13foot Torque weighs 71 pounds empty and 86 pounds with the motor and battery. Under power, it runs up to 5 1/2 mph but also features variable speed control for slower trolling applications and reverse. Torque also comes with transducer-compatible scuppers, an integrated dashboard, a kill switch and a large bow hatch. Cost is $2,000. Call 800-8-KAYAKS, or visit www.oceankayak.com

COLLEGE STATION, TX (KPRC/NBC) - FBI investigators say a Texas A&M professor committed suicide because he was being blackmailed.
The suicide of Professor James Aune came as a shock to students and staff at Texas A&M college.
Aune, head of the communications department, jumped from a campus parking garage to his death.
FBI agents said they believe a sexual blackmail scheme concocted by another man may be at the root of the tragic death.
Court records claim Daniel Duplaisir put photos of his own relative, an underage girl, on a social networking site to lure Aune.
The documents allege Aune started exchanging messages and explicit photos with someone he thought was the girl.

Phillip Sims, the former backup to A.J. McCarron at Alabama, is on his way out of the program, and it's looking likely he heads to a school in the state of Virginia. But will it be the University of Virginia? If the word on Friday is correct, Sims may be checking out the Cavaliers sooner rather than later.
The report, from Jerry Ratcliffe:
UVa source just told me that Virginia is in receipt of a release from Alabama with permission to talk to QB Phillip Sims.— Jerry Ratcliffe (@JerryRatcliffe) April 27, 2012
Should he settle down with Virginia, it would be a move that brings him closer to home. Sims hails from nearby Chesapeake, so Virginia would be quite logical, if it does come to pass. Without a restriction on his release to Virginia, Sims' life is quite a bit easier than some of the other cases we've seen lately, as well.

Nested SELECT with alias column
Hello world!
My first post and an sql novice so bare with my ignorance.
Goal/logic is to:
1. find a record of a known/unique value in column 'name'
2. from this found record assign a variable/alias of a column 'start_date' just extracting the year as alias of 'start_year'
3. find all other records that are in the same year excluding original record in step 1
Look up name "Joe" and his start date being only the year.
Find all other records that have the same start date as "Joe" but do not list Joe in the list returned.
Here is my attempt up to step 2:
SELECT name, FROM_UNIXTIME(start_date, '%Y') AS start_year FROM db.table WHERE name='Joe' AND start_year IN (SELECT name, FROM_UNIXTIME(start_date, '%Y') AS other_records_same_year FROM db.table WHERE other_records_same_year = start_year)
...but apparently alias column can not be used in SELECT clause and any solution I could find doubled up on my SELECT statements and confused me even more.
If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Hopefully the logic make sense.
Thank you for your time!

Survey: Faith in schools may carry bond measure

This is a very heartening study, showing that our citizens value our schools, and will not let the recent downturn in quality decisions from the BOE affect the sustainability of PAUSD
on Oct 26, 2007 at 10:56 am
Yes, it's heartening, but it's also important to bear in mind that the board can only place a bond measure on the ballot. After that, members cannot discuss or promote it. As with the Measure A parcel tax in 2005, raising awareness about the bond and getting people to vote for it will require hundreds of citizen boots on the ground.
I'm concerned that those who would serve as the foot soldiers in this effort are the ones who follow school district politics closely enough to be disgusted and fed up with the results of their efforts in the past, such as myself.
Even with broad community support for a bond, district management and the school board have a long way to go to rebuild trust among those who can make it happen.
on Oct 26, 2007 at 4:05 pm
If the survey results were correct, then volunteers won't be needed. A blank check doesn't require much thinking.
But why would anyone fund a survey to ask if people would vote "yes" for a blank check? That's hard to swallow. Sounds as if the BOE were looking for proof that they hadn't harmed the district.
The schools have a great chance to get their house in order, and tap the pool of voters otherwise more committed to the City than to the schools.
In that sense, the Council has done the schools a favor by retaining Benest. I hope the new BOE don't waste it.

Resident Evil, Devil May Cry sell sluggishly, Capcom to miss fiscal 2012's financial targets
The more companies release their fiscal reports and yearly sales forecasts, the worse things seem. Capcom now joins EA, Square Enix, and GameStop in revising its future operations after numbers failed to meet their initial targets.
Resident Evil 6, for example, was downgraded in December of last year from a projected 7 million sales to 5 million. Capcom's current report suggests that, while sales are trending close to the revised forecasts, they're still a bit short: Resident Evil 6 is pegged at 4.9 million, while DmC is at 1.15 million - short of the 1.2 million revised December forecast, and even farther away from the original 2 million projection.
Capcom has blamed these disappointing sales on a "decline in quality due to excessive outsourcing," which seems odd, considering the Capcom-developed Resident Evil 6 has a lower Metacritic score (the highest for the game is the PS3 version, with 74), compared to the more favorably reviewed Ninja Theory-developed DmC (which holds between 85 on PS3 and PC, and 86 on Xbox 360; the game also earned our praise quite easily).
More bad news is on the way as well. Capcom warned investors about an incoming "special loss" of 7.2 billion yen (or $73 million USD) due in part to "losses resulting from the discontinuation of development of certain titles outsourced overseas that are no more compatible with the current business strategy." Remember Me and Lost Planet 3 are being developed by Europe-based and North America-based teams, so what this means for them is hard to say, but Capcom is certainly struggling.

"I've always been into art in one form or another, having tried everything from sculpting in stone to oil painting. I now find working in CG to be very liberating and while not as tactile as the other mediums it does offer a great deal of freedom in creating images. I am pretty much self-taught, as I discovered 3ds Max several years ago and was pretty intrigued. I haven't been able to let go of it since."
"I feel this is an area where I can put everything I've learned to good use and one that allows me to create new worlds and environments. Imagining vast cityscapes and fantastic visions of the future are things I've always loved doing. There's no deep meaning or message to my art. They're just pretty pictures."

This painting, selected by Governor Kitzhaber, is on exhibit at Mahonia, the Governor's mansion in Salem, Oregon.
I seem to apologize for barn paintings. Why? They are part of my family's background, and I played in a lot of barns when I was a kid. Barn architecture is regional, with Dakota barns looking vastly different than California's Central Valley barns.
Frame: (Note--this painting has been reframed.) French Baroque gold, 4" wide moulding. The ornate frame complements this little painting.

This shares the first bit of the Open Book and then traverses right to easier ground. The traverse move to gain the right crack is a bit interesting. Then after setting an anchor, the 2nd pitch asends a line of bulges and chickenheads without much gear. The third pitch traverses and ends in a 4th class grove with a fun topout on HUGE holds!
Standard rack. Expect a bit of excitment on the second pitch. Walk to the top of Taquitz and go down and right for the walk off.

Panel backs Democratic proposal for pension cuts
Apr 5, 2013 | 4 Comments
By JONATHAN J. COOPER
Of the Associated Press
SALEM — The Oregon Legislature's powerful budget committee on Friday approved a Democratic effort to curb pension benefits, sending the measure for a vote in the full Senate that could come next week.
The committee's party-line vote followed complaints from Republicans that the bill is a timid approach that won't give taxpayers enough relief from significant increases in pension costs. Democrats are also feeling heat from the left as public-employee unions say it would illegally violate a contract they have with the state.
"I think we've united the entire state, all sides, in dislike of this proposal," said Rep. Peter Buckley, an Ashland Democrat and a leading architect of the pension-cutting bill. "But again, we stand by it because we do believe it is balanced and fair."
Severe investment losses during the Great Recession erased 27 percent of the pension fund in 2008 alone, requiring steep increases in taxpayer contributions to make up the difference and limiting money available for state and local government services.
The Democratic proposal would reduce cost-of-living increases in retirement checks on a graduated scale and eliminate supplemental tax payments for retirees living outside Oregon. It also would push $350 million worth of payments into future years.
Republicans offered their own plan that would have further cut pension benefits, saving more money. They said only a substantial reform of the pension system will prevent the need for more cuts in the future.
"We can either fix it or tweak it," said Sen. Fred Girod, R-Stayton. "I favor fixing it."
Two Republicans, Reps. Greg Smith of Heppner and Bob Jenson of Pendleton, voted no for another reason. They said the state had an obligation to keep promises.
"Where I come from in Eastern Oregon, when you give your word you keep it," Smith said. "Good or bad, you keep it."
Gov. John Kitzhaber has pushed for steeper cuts, but his office says he'll sign the Democratic bill if it reaches him.

I don't think they are going to succeed with much if anything in the way of tax hikes, so we may yet get at least some limited additional movement on PERS.
Here's hoping the GOP forces hold firm and help make that happen. PERS relief is desperately needed.
Next step will be attempts at local option levies to cover PERS mismanagement.

The Inquirer's Health & Fitness Section Give a Big Thumbs Up!
The spectacular Intercollegiate Weight Room at Weiss Pavilion opened in May 2010. More than 18,000 square feet has been dedicated solely to Penn's varsity intercollegiate athletes, with state-of-the art equipment, running areas, and setups that are unique to the University.
Entering from 33rd Street, certainly the highlight and most dramatic element of the center is the 30 weightlifting racks that were uniquely made for Penn by Sorinex. These racks use more than 20,000 pounds of WerkSan barbells and plates, which are generally considered the finest of their kind in the world. The flooring and platform inlays, unique to Penn, were designed by Mondo Flooring. The room also boasts two running tracks with a special surface specifically designed by Mondo Flooring for maximum traction and durability.
Penn's intercollegiate weight room also boasts more than 40 LifeFitness machines for cardio as well as muscle development; 18 heavy bags from Balazs for kickboxing drills; two complete dumbbell sets (up to 150-pound weights) from Intek; and dozens of medicine balls from M&F Athletics for ballistic training.
In addition to Mr. Weiss' gift to name the entire facility, an anonymous donor made the construction of the bottom-floor intercollegiate weight room possible.

I need to say a few things.
Over the weekend, there was a tweet announcing that Google was going to provide "scholarships" to qualified women to attend JSConf.eu. There was then a tweet by another person calling this "disgusting" and "illegal." Nicole Sullivan has a level-headed and well-articulated roundup of the back-and-forth and some of the surrounding issues, and I suggest you read it.
I take no position on the scholarships. I question whether they will have any meaningful or lasting effect. I fear the availability of the scholarships will lead to ill feelings about the women who do attend. Simultaneously, I yearn to discover, against hope, that they make it possible for some highly qualified but unknown woman to gain access to the JavaScript community.
Whatever. Smarter people than me have a better idea than I do as to how effective they will be, and lawyers can tell you whether they're illegal. I'll stand firmly in the "no" camp on the disgusting count.
You know what's disgusting? Being groped at a conference after-party by a drunk married man. Opening your hotel door to discover said drunk married man stumbling down the hall, asking himself into your room, and literally having to slam the door in his face. Having a video of you posted on the internet, suggesting that you were engaged in a sexual act with the yayQuery logo. Seeing someone ask, publicly, on Twitter, if anyone knows the name of the hot conference chick.
That, dear reader, is disgusting.
I adore my male friends in the tech community. They have encouraged and supported me and welcomed me into their inner circles. But even they can act like 12-year-old boys sometimes, and while I don't begrudge them that, it is hard, because it's at those moments that I realize how much I am not them, how much I long to have more than the barest assembly of female peers who have any idea what this is like.
And then I remember: those peers I long for will have to put up with so much shit to be in that cool kid's club, and you know what? If Google wants to pay them a measly few hundred bucks to put up with it, maybe that's OK. Hell, maybe they ought to pay them more. Perhaps, as ham-handed and questionably productive as the scholarships may be, it's only fair to pay women to look the other way when some asshole treats them like a thing instead of a person.
I am angry. I have been angry since Saturday, when this all started. I have spent the last year trying to be the thing that I want to see: the woman on stage. I have formed groups to encourage other women to do the same. I have reached out to women who show potential and tried to give them the encouraging nudge they need that no one really gave me.
And right this very moment, I feel incredibly selfish. This weekend reminded me what I am asking those women to enter into: a world that presents no tangible barriers, but that will objectify them every step of the way. And if these women have the guts — well, let's be community-appropriate here — if they have the balls to speak up and say that it is hard to be a woman in this field, that it takes a thick skin and determination and a willingness to be one of the boys even when that's the last thing in the world they want to do, then they should brace for a chorus of men to rise and tell them they are wrong.
Men, guys, boys: I am not asking you to give up Star Wars and The Matrix. I'm not even asking you to give up gratuitous phallic references and #twss [that's what she said] jokes, though I hope we're all grown-up enough to know that there's a time and a place. And you know what? If you want to DM your friend about trying to hook up with that hot conference chick, well, good luck with that. We're all human.
But for the love of all that is good: this being a woman in your world thing, it's not easy, OK? Maybe you can't understand it, and I even believe it when you say you don't mean it. But when you deny it, you just look like an ass.
(Note: Opinions expressed in this article and its replies are the opinions of their respective authors and not those of DZone, Inc.)
Erin Garlock replied on Wed, 2010/07/28 - 9:12am
In the interest of avoiding a flame war, I'll just ask you your own question and one simple additional question.
But for the love of all that is good: you have your woman world thing. Can you understand that women bring their own idiosyncrasies, foibles, and faux pax? I even believe it when you say you don't mean it. But when you deny it, you just look like an ass.
Did your man-bashing post help anyone?
Nick Lozon replied on Wed, 2010/07/28 - 9:23am
If I were a woman, I would be offended.
I had a discussion yesterday about this exact scenario - twice an IBM co-op position in my town refused interviews with men, only women. A colleague told me that someone was spoofing a female on Linked-In, Facebook and other mediums as a software developer and was wildly approached by various companies including Google. This is just what I was told, but does phase me the slightest if it were true.
It's amazing how many bugs you find when your turn over a heavy rock.

It's actually a bit nuanced than this– it's to get people the use the open internet. This isn't something we're making up either.

EAST PEORIA, Ill. -- Despite a lower mortality rate among breast cancer patients, healthcare officials say there are still too many women not getting yearly screenings.
That's one of the issues being discussed at the 5th annual Breast Cancer Symposium underway at the Embassy Suites Conference Center in East Peoria.
Peoria Surgical Group Physician Dr. Denise Mammolito says doctors are still seeing too many women in advanced stages of breast cancer.
"The first message would be to proceed with yearly mammograms," said Dr. Mammolito. "I recommend screenings for anyone over 40 with no family history on a yearly basis."
Dr. Mammolito says a lack of insurance or concerns about radiation during screenings could be obstacles preventing women from getting regular screenings.
The symposium continues through Saturday.

New Scribbulus Calls for EssaysScribbulus
Scribbulus, TLC's essay project, has issued a new call for papers featuring a variety of topics for the next few months. In addition to the most recent call for essays on Deathly Hallows, we can announce the following topics:
- Bizarre, Wacky and Wonderful Theories - April Fools' Special (Please submit by March 1, 2007)
Do you think Fenrir Greyback leads a double life, secretly spending his days posing as a Muggle kindergarten teacher? Do you think Budgy the Budgrigar has some role to play in the final book that will be the lynchpin to the entire series? If you've got a wild and crazy theory that you can back up with canon evidence, we'd like to hear it! In honor of Fred's and George's birthdays, we'd like you to convince us of the most far-out, kooky theory you've got. All theories must be argued and backed up with canon - however little there is; submissions of "Snape is a zombie and wants to eat Harry's brains. Bye!" will not be accepted.
- Love, Romance and Shipping (Please submit by April 1, 2007)
Love is an important theme in the Harry Potter books, and there are many different kinds that Rowling explores. We would like you to explore the different kinds of love relationships in the books � friendship love, familial love, romantic love, etc. Essays on shipping and particular pairings are welcome, but we would like you to explore how that relationship might or will effect the rest of the series. As with all Scribbulus essays, content should conform to the standards in the submission guidelines.
- Character Analysis (Please submit by May 1, 2007)
The Harry Potter books contain a rich tapestry of characters, from bit players to the complex and multi-layered main cast. We would like you to do an in-depth examination of one or more of the characters in Rowling's world. You can examine one character alone, compare and contrast two characters, or examine a group with some common (or contrasting) characteristics.
- Gender Roles (Please submit by June 1, 2007)
How do we view the males and females in Rowling's universe? How are we meant to see them? We would like you to explore the role that gender plays in the lives of the characters and in the story itself. How do men and women conform or not conform to traditional gender roles in our own world? Does one gender have more inherent power in Wizarding society over the other? Is Rowling confirming or rejecting the gender roles at play in her fictional world?
While papers on these topics are appreciated, essays on other topics may be submitted at any time. To submit your essay, mail as an attachment to scribbulus @the-leaky-cauldron.org.

I wish I'd written this earlier this week, because I fully expected today's uninspiring showing, but it didn't dawn on me until this afternoon that though there will continue to be a lot of excellent analysis of this program written here and elsewhere, we really need to directly call you out. First, let me tell you that I grew up a TCU fan in Fort Worth (you'll excuse me, because my parents and all of my extended family went there). In the late 80's, though, I began watching the teams under Fred Akers and I began to soak up all the information I could on the program's storied history. I chose to attend the University even though I knew it meant I would not be able to play football - the sport I loved above all else. Though I'd been recruited at a number of colleges, my 6'1", 190lb frame was just too small to play strong safety for UT. Nonetheless I began to bleed burnt orange, even as the quality of the program began to deteriorate. And bleed I did, as I was there in the stands to see UT rack up humiliating losses to Miami (1991 Cotton Bowl), Rice, TCU, and UCLA (Route 66). And then you guys brought in Mack.
I'll admit that I didn't think Mack was "Texas good" when he was chosen as much as he wasn't "Mackovic bad". He had some good wins in his first few years, but he also had some bad losses and by 2003 I was the owner of a "firemackbrown.com" t-shirt. When Mack later wisened up enough to let Vince Young have more freedom in his playmaking (thus allowing Vince to lead the team to a National Championship, I decided Mack had balanced the ledger and and I got rid of the shirt. Vince and Colt clearly compensated for some serious shortcomings in the coaching staff and I was wrong to have let Mack off so easily, but I fear many of you are not clear on this. It is for this reason that I appeal to you today
Please, please, for the love of the program, write down what it will take for you to force a change at the top. Maybe it would have been a loss or a last minute win against Kansas today (but unfortunately we're too late for that now). Maybe it will be a Texas defense that through 9 games is one of the worst in 100+ years, with not a single decent game to its credit. Or maybe it will be an offense that 9 games in struggles against average defensive fronts and which executes game plans that are questionable at best. Whatever it is, write it down and commit to yourself that you will act if Texas finds itself in this place. Do it because though Mack is a good, decent man who has shepherded the program and kept it clean, he lacks the perspective and other qualities needed to connect with his team and to to get them to perform to the greatest extent of their abilities. He has lost this team, but I fear your loyalty and risk-aversion blinds you to this, as well as the fact that there are other coaches we could pursue who are "Texas good". The data doesn't lie, my friends, and the data shows quite clearly that no program has done less with more than Texas has in the last 10 years. If you think others aren't paying attention, I assure you we've already suffered some unnecessary recruiting losses to everyone from Oregon to A&M for the next 2 years. I cannot prove it, but I know it.
In closing, I'll add that I did not watch the Baylor game nor the Kansas game, as I promised myself I would not watch another game until the program earned the loyalty I've so unquestioningly provided for over 20 years. Actually, I did confess that I did watch 5-10 minutes of today's game just to see if the defense continued to make late adjustments, tackle poorly, and to take bad angles. I watched to see if the offense looked like a top 25 group, and I was quickly reassured on all counts that nothing has changed. In over a month. Nothing. The data does not lie, my fellow Longhorns, so I beseech you - don't keep lying to yourselves out of some misguided notion of loyalty. We have done right by Coach Brown. Now it is time to commit yourself to action.

BalayajumWould Have Given It 5 Stars But For The Electrical IssuesLOVE this flat iron when I can actually get power to it. I regret not sending it back as soon as it started having electrical issue about 2 years ago. Now a little under 4 years and it's completly crapped out. I decided to try my hand at a Chi this time around.... See how long this one last. I just can't drop $100+ on a flat iron every 3 years.

RebeccaGreat Results But...The results of the Sedu are the best of any iron I have tried and I have used A LOT of the top rated professional flat irons, however, each time I use it I notice that my hair is breaking after I use it. Not while I am using it but the next day and a few days after I will notice a lot of broken pieces of hair around the bathroom and when I play with my hair. I figured it was too hot and turned it down but even on a very low temp and taking breaks from using it, the same thing happens each time and this has not happened with any other iron that I have tried. The only other flat iron that I have found that works as well for me and as quickly is the Solano SleekHeat. I don't know why I seem to be the only person who has had this issue with the Sedu but with NO OTHER IRON...

MirandaYou Will Never Go Back To Cheap IronsWOW WOW WOW For years, I have used cheap flat irons promising amazing results for little money. They never delivered and I thought that I would just have to live with it. I always thought it would be ridiculous to pay $100 or more for a flat iron. I finally decided to take the plunge after seeing the AMAZING results in the reviews section and getting so-so results from my cheap iron (a Remington Wet to Straight). I am totally transformed; my hair looks like I should be in a commercial. Now I'm off to buy some CHI silk infusion since I've read so many good things about it. Thank you folica for having the reviews section and allowing pictures. It really convinced me and I feel so much better about my hair.

Sheila B.Absolutely Amazing Flat IronI absolutely love this flat iron! You see, I already had a T3 Bespoke flat iron and was really happy with it. However, it was a 1 inch and with the amount of hair I have I needed the 1 1/2 inch. About a year ago I wanted to get this iron, but they were "out of stock" and it was taking forever for it to become available. So, I went to a store in my area and bought the very same flat iron that my stylist used, which was the T3 Bespoke.
Well, Folica finally got it in and when my niece asked me what I thought about flat irons I suggested the T3, because I had literally forgotten about Sedu. She asked me had I ever heard about the Sedu brand and I remembered that I really wanted to get one last year. As it turns out she bought one and so did my sister. I already knew they were amazing and so, I bought the 1 1/2 inch and took it to my hair stylist just the other day. Boy! What a difference! Not only was my hair shiny, straight, soft and bouncy, but it felt like it was in so much better condition. My stylist loves it! She did say, however, that she was afraid to get too close to my scalp, because of the way the plates are made. She was afraid she'd burn me. I guess they aren't curved the way the T3 Bespoke flat iron is. Hmmmm...Oh well. I didn't have a problem, because I can judge it better, because I can feel the heat right away. It's a plus that I also got the Sedu mini flat iron and the heat proof pouch FREE, with my purchase! The delivery was super fast and it came UPS, so I could track the purchase and know exactly when it would arrive. It arrived faster than ever.
The T3 Bespoke isn't the first iron I have ever used. I have had Gold N' Hot, Salono and an off brand, as well. I am African American and I have really curly hair, but I wear it straight. It's very soft and it isn't coarse at all. I could never wear a natural, if you know what I mean. Sedu leaves my hair so straight and so shiny that it feels better than ever. I didn't recognize my hair. You owe it to yourself to buy this flat iron. You will absolutely love it!5 out of 5 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

RozBest Flat Iron I've Ever UsedLike a kid with a new toy. I used it the same day it arrived and I am in love. I went from crazy jungle woman hair to beautiful shiny straight hair. My hair is very fine, curly and extremely frizzy. I was able to do my hair in 1/2 the time. Can do bigger sections and only went over it once or twice. It maintains the heat setting from beginning to end and leaves hair straight, shiny and soft.posted Jun 16, 2010Link to this post

NicoleAtlantaThis Was Worth The Money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I researched several flat irons because I did not want to purchase a flat iron that didn't work. I read reviews for several different flat irons such as Herstyler, Royale, Chi and Sedu. I looked at several different sites. Before doing this research I went to a kiosk at a mall and saw a Herstyler and placed them on layaway. I gave the person a nonrefundable deposit. That flat iron was $99. That night I started my research. After reading several reviews for several different flat irons I began looking at the before and after pictures. The reviews and pictures for the Sedu truly impressed me. I am African American and I do not relax my hair. I have very thick and very curls hair that is impossible for me to straighten. I recently began going to the hair dresser to have them straighten my hair. This is ok, when its not humid outside. A few weeks ago it got really humid outside and my hair went from straight to frizzy. I was so frustrated because I had just gotten my hair straightened two weeks prior. Thats when I decided to invest in a pair of flat irons. After alot of research and alot of thought I decided to purchase the Sedu. It had the best reviews and the fewest complaints. The Royale and Herstyler got alot of complaints about it breaking and the sales people at the kiosk not honoring the warranty. I read other reviews for the Chi which stated it didn't work very well and people had to flat iron their hair several times. I don't have time to flat iron my hair several times, I'm a mom,a wife and a business owner. I purchased the Sedu 1 1/2 flat iron, I got the large one because my hair is extremely thick and long. I washed it, dried it, put flat iron spray on my hair and then went to work. The first section I flat ironed was so straight, silky and shiny!!! I fell in love with these flat irons within the first five minutes. It did a great job, my hair was so bouncy! My husband said it looked like I'd just come from the beauty salon. I received a mini flat iron with my order so I was able to straighten the edges of my hair and I did better than the salon normally does it!! I am only going back to the salon for highlights and a trim from now on. I am extremely happy with my purchase and I even called a good friend of mine and recommended this product to her. Oh, I forgot to mention my mom purchased a sedu flat iron also. Her hair is so soft and it never keeps a straight style, even though she has a relaxer. I flat ironed her hair, curled it, then used rollers. The next day it still looked good!! This was one of the best purchases I have ever made. Thanks Sedu for creating a product that really truly works. Thanks Folica for the free shipping, the free mini flat irons and getting it to me quickly.posted Jun 14, 2010Link to this post
