Desktop Spreadsheet Alternatives to Know
The electronic spreadsheet is among the top five most important advances in business management to come along in the last hundred years. It revolutionized almost all aspects of running an organization. It was the original "killer app" that made it necessary for people to go out and buy a personal computer. Yet our recent benchmark research project confirmed advice we have been giving for the past decade: Spreadsheets are a fabulous tool, but they have limits, and those who fail to respect those limits wind up paying a price. The consequences may be obvious, as JP Morgan found when faulty spreadsheets used by its trading desk cost it dearly. Or it may be more subtle, as with all the time people waste trying to make spreadsheets do things they were never designed to do.
The research found that desktop spreadsheet users routinely encounter problems. For example, errors are common in spreadsheets across data, formula and format areas as found in a large number of organizations according to our research. The consequences are most material when they are part of a core business process. Nearly half (46%) said they find errors in data frequently or occasionally in the most important processes where they use spreadsheets. Another 34 percent find errors in formulas in their most important processes. Multiple versions of the same spreadsheet can be an issue if the versions do not agree with one another (a condition referred to as "dueling spreadsheets"); 43 percent said this happens frequently or all of the time, and one-third (31%) find it happening for the most important process that uses spreadsheets. Problems such as data errors or conflicting information can result from using spreadsheets in collaborative processes. One-third (34%) said that happens frequently or occasionally, and these issues stretch out the time to complete the process.
Despite these flaws, we found that participants are not especially concerned about these issues. It appears that organizations have become inured to the flaws in spreadsheets because they seem to believe that, like the weather, you can complain about these issues but you can't do much to change the situation.
Errors in spreadsheets are common and may remain in place even when the spreadsheets are checked and, indeed, audited. Yet few of our participants (even the most experienced and proficient users) said they do rigorous checking to ensure accuracy of the data; half do checking only when something doesn't look right, and when they do check they look only at selected cells. This likely is another reason why most people see no impact on their productivity from problems in spreadsheets: They simply don't spend a lot of time checking for errors. It also may explain why mistakes have a limited impact on businesses – even the selective "eyeballing" method of checking for accuracy is likely to spot many of the blatant mistakes that would have a significant impact on business.
We found other nagging issues. One-fourth of participants said that out-of-date information appears frequently in spreadsheets that support important business processes. This issue is greater in larger companies: almost half (47%) of those from organizations with more than 10,000 employees indicated it happens frequently. This points to the importance of ensuring that data is fresh and timely. When it comes to resolving issues about what is in a spreadsheet, 34 percent go back and forth resolving an issue at least occasionally, stretching out the time it takes to complete a process.
Organizations routinely use spreadsheets to collect data for use in collaborative processes, and two-thirds use spreadsheets to collaborate with people outside the company. Data collection usually requires combining (rolling up) multiple files into a consolidated, aggregated view. Most (81%) of the participants and 88 percent of heavy users have to combine data from two or more spreadsheets (often from multiple contributors) to perform some business process. Regardless of their skill level or number of years using spreadsheets, 56 percent said that combining spreadsheets is a time-consuming chore.
In the past people had to live with these shortcomings, but today businesses have options that can embrace and extend or complement them in what we have classified as enterprise spreadsheets. These options enable organizations to have the best of both worlds, allowing people to continue working in a familiar environment but without the drawbacks that spreadsheets impose when they are used improperly. Many applications use Excel just as the interface – giving people a familiar look and feel while addressing key technological shortcomings that make desktop spreadsheets error-prone and difficult to consolidate or roll up. Spreadsheets are also a leading reporting tool, critical for communicating results, forecasts, situations and risks. Yet when it comes to reporting, spreadsheets fall short again because they can be time-consuming to update and contain unseen errors.
Today, people routinely spend time exploring application options for their smartphones but rarely spend any time getting to know software that can increase their productivity using spreadsheets. Don't fall into this bad habit. Investigate options that give users the ease, convenience and familiarity of spreadsheets without the hassle and risk that too often goes with them.

Rap mogul Jay-Z talks about his most challenging duties as Def Jam president in 2005 and reveals his short-lived experience with therapy in the new Rolling Stone.
Jay also shares his admiration for genres of music outside rap
In the latest issue of Rolling Stone, contributing editor Mark Binelli goes one-on-one with the New York legend. "I love the energy coming out indie rock right now," he says, name-checking Grizzly Bear. "It has this rebellion thing that hip-hop is missing now, the thing that made hip-hop hip-hop." Binelli also encourages Jay to open up about his biggest challenges as president of Def Jam (the most frustrating meeting? "Honestly? All of them") and his one and only experience in therapy, when as Binelli writes, "The psychiatrist gave him tea that made him sleepy and asked him questions like, 'Who are your best friends?'" (Rolling Stone)
Last year, DMX said Jay's run at Def Jam forced him to leave the label.
"I f*cks with him and had respect for him — until he became the president of Def Jam and I ain't gonna say too much more about it, but you know what it is. There's a difference between doing wrong and being wrong. There's a difference between doing wrong and 'being' wrong, at one point you were 'being' wrong. N*ggas can't do it like we could, n*ggas couldn't do it like we could. N*ggas weren't able to — we're artists. Jay is a talented motherf*cker. Don't misunderstand me. He is talented but he has no heart behind it. There's no soul behind it. It's motivated by money…But I still maintain the respect, because our birthday is in the same month and you know, we have history. But I lost it when he became president of Def Jam, that's why I left Def Jam…When you became the president, you hit me 'yo dog, the inmates is running the building!!!' You know what that mean, your mans is in charge…That's what it is, we good,' 'cause we had history. And then you go do that. You come down, listen to my sh*t — we ready. Then you go on vacation. N*ggas take a picture of you with chancletas on. That's what you leave the hood for, son? That's why you walk out on your man for, son? Flip-flops? Serious? You serious? Real talk son, I respected you. I'm in my feelings about that. I'm hurt. I ain't ever talk about that." (Hip Hop Stan)
Fabolous previously spoke on his positive relationship with Jay as a Def Jam executive.
"[Him being Def Jam president] definitely influenced our relationship," Fab said in an interview last summer. "Of course we had seen each other in passing of course throughout the years but now with him being president we developed a different kind of relationship, you know what I mean? An artist-to-president relationship and also an artist-to-artist relationship as well because we've collaborated twice since then, so I think it was dope. And I always been a fan of Jay's music so it's a good thing." (Bootleg Kev)
Prior to leaving the label and beginning a new venture with touring company Live Nation in 2007, Hov had a two-year run as Def Jam president.
In 2005, Jay-Z signed an incentive-based contract to take over the storied hip-hop label, and in 2006, he returned from "retirement" to put out a new album, Kingdom Come. The project was met with mixed reviews but was best known for the controversies that surrounded it. Several artists who were signed to Def Jam voiced their displeasure that the president of the company was busy promoting and supporting his own album rather than helping to market works by other acts on the label. (MTV)
The new Rolling Stone will be released this month.

Hey everybody, Lithe here!
Sorry if I've worried you all, I've got quite a story to tell.
I know you all were very worried with the state I was in from my last blog post, but you'll all be pleased to know that I'm in a much better place now! I have a new job, a new girlfriend, and I've moved into a new home (which, ironically, was my grandma's house right next door), but hey, it's something. I've had a very busy six to eight months since I last updated, and I'm sorry for worrying you guys, I just haven't had any time.
Now, onto the good stuff!
I'm taking all my stories back off hiatus, as I intend to update them. All I ask is that you bear with me, as I have a very busy schedule with work and school and whatnot, but I will try not to leave you all hanging. Updates may take a while, but they will come! BillyColt and I just updated Ivory, I'm in the process of writing Not With a Bang's first chapter and finally getting that story moving forward, TC and Desert Rose will follow! Thanks for all the words of support and concern over the last few months, so worry no longer!
Lithe's back, and now with 100% more ponyfic!

Believe it or not, I was able to squeeze out a small update for one of my other stories, Desert Rose.
Go check it out and give Rose some love!
PS: I may focus more on my smaller stories for a while until I get my life back together.

Hey all, just popping in to give you a heads-up.
Sorry it's been so long since I've last updated, but my life went from bad to worse in the time that I posted my last blog update. Things seemed to be leveling out after everything that happened with my grandfather and best friend, but it completely went to hell at the beginning of February. I went on vacation with my girlfriend (which was more or less a disaster), and came home to find out that my uncle had died the night before I got home due to a bacterial infection. We no more than left his funeral on Wednesday when my last remaining living grandmother fell and broke her leg. She died twenty days later after a massive stroke post surgery. You all think it's pretty bad so far, right?
It gets worse.
As it turns out, the night of my grandmother's viewing I was slapped with the absolute last possible thing I wanted to hear. My girlfriend had cheated on me. With my best friend. I cannot begin to express what I have been going through lately, and it has killed any urge and motivation to continue writing. I'm sorry that I'm holding out on you all, but I just can't bring myself to do it, and I refuse to give you all work that is beneath the quality I've given you up until now.
I promise I'll get back to it... eventually. Maybe when I'm done picking myself up off the ground.
PS: I wouldn't mind talking to some friends. If you're willing, send me a message with your Skype if you have it.
104w, 4dAn Update32 comments · 360 views
Hey all, Lithe here. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, because I sure as hell didn't, but I'll get to that.
The last couple of months been out of control. The reason why updates have slowed down to almost a complete halt is because of many different issues in the family. In mid-August I lost my grandfather to Alzheimer's, so that in it of itself has been a challenge. That on top of school, work, and dealing with my dad breaking his foot was weighing heavily on me.
Fast-forward to Wednesday night. I get a call from my best friend informing me that another one of my friends has just had a seizure. We all end up at the hospital, and we stay there throughout the night.
Thursday. Thanksgiving Day. The day we all are supposed to spend with family. I do the usual rounds of preparation as I do every year, keeping in contact with my friend's mom on his condition. Shortly after dinner, I get a call from his mother. They can't stabilize his heart, and they don't think they'll be able to revive him.
He passed away a half-hour later.
Now... with that said, I've decided to put Two's Company, Three's a Crowd as well as my other stories on a temporary hiatus until things slow down and I can get this massive writer's block off my chest and my heart. I've decided to do this because it recently occurred to me that my friend that passed was the one who actually motivated me to continue with it and post it here on FimFiction. Had it not been for him, TC would never have gotten off the ground. With that in mind, TC will be on hiatus...
...But this does not mean I will never finish it. He would want me to finish the story, and in his memory I will do just that.
All I ask is that you bear with me during these tough times.
Thanks for all the love and support,
- ...
Thank you soooo much! I plan to have Chapter Two up soon!
Could use a bit more to tie the story together. I feel lost in all the text.
as Eclipse stated, excellent read. But 655 words is a little to short for a chapter imo.
I intend to lengthen it when I get home from work tonight, and possibly start work on the next update!
I was just trying to be a smart-ass about the THIS IS NOT A CHAPTER chapter is all.
Can't wait for the rest of this story. seems like it will be a very fun read. :)
Color me interested.
Very nice story, nice dynamic between the characters and a great humour.
Well done!
This story is so awesome! Your writing skills are amazing! Keep up the good work!
I think this could besplit into at least three different chapters. There is just to much going on in it right now.
I just finished reading (not because a slow reader but I'm at school). It is very well written and the whole Octavia been pregnant was very well alluded to. Please keep writing it is very funny.
man this story is too interesting for the chapters to be this short. Can't wait for the rest.
JK, It's awesome and I can't wait for the rest!
>>21104 I'll new to the fic world, so I'm taking a look at what style suits me. Though my best works are like this story, I think you did a better job than I could. Keep writing this
Sir, you are great. Can't wait for more, though longer chapters would be appreciated in light of the inherent awesomeness.
It is very good but I still think you could divide up these chapters a little. Don't they just seem to long.
Now that I've satisfied my inner troll great work. I would say make the chapters longer but I think this style may be working for you. Most importantly stick to your guns and keep writing.
Insta tracked and 5-starred.
Im rather Impresssed at your portrayal of feminine emotions especially in a business/serious type mare like octavia, the touching scene at the end with octavia and vinyl both coming to terms and being able to mutually accept it(more so with octavia coming to terms and not murdering vinyl) was beautiful.
While there was some cliche, the worst of that being using nurse redheart as having to explain that octy was pregnant because the doctor "conviently forget" it was an excusable cliche for plot. The least of the two cliches is Octy thinking her bandmates would be unsupportive and ending up to be super supportive. That one was barely noticable. Back on the good side, I especially loved the random bits of humour, from the Loud tuba player, to nurse redhearts "they dont pay me enough for this" to the doctors "HAHAHA that will show my dad up" added a realistic feature to the fic..that honestly im kinda jelly of :P.
I was just listening to Ghosts n stuff when i read this >.< What a coincidence...
Very nice story! I will gladly read the next chapters!
A real joy to read! Simple, cute and positive. A very welcome change after the "heavyweight" grimdarks. Well-deserved 5 stars!
4.5/5, but only because you don't have [sad] and [grimdark].
As usual, a great read. And now that Vinyls past is revealed, I feel you are going somewhere heavy...
Looking forward to more!
Very nice... I can feel a bit of tension but i don't think its going to go far enought to become (grimdark) or (sad)... hope you keep me laughing!
Ooooh boy meetin the parents....fun times will be had!
Ah, magical lesbian spawn. One of my favorite subcategories of pregnancy fics. I look forward to more.
Sorry, but Trevor just got lost with everything that's going on in this chapter. You REALLY need to slow things down. Right now, this chapter is just... REALLY confusing! Still, Trevor is willing to try to muddle through and understand by reading the next chapter...

Cabin fever?
Wednesday, April 17, 2013
When you ask most people what they think of when referring to winters in Durango, probably 80% of the answers you get are skiing and snowboarding related. While these are a couple of the great things our area has to offer, I personally come nowhere close to being able to afford it. Of course I'm not trying to discourage anyone from getting a pass and going skiing every day (without missing class obviously), I'm just suggesting some possible alternatives that I have discovered since starting at Fort Lewis.
Sustainability at FLC
Thursday, April 11, 2013
Fort Lewis College has a passion for sustainability. From the time I took my first tour of Fort Lewis, more than four years ago, I have been impressed by how much students and teachers care about sustainability. I was lucky enough to qualify for a work-study position so I immediately went to the Environmental Center and applied for a job. I was so happy to get a position on the local food team where I got to both learn about the local food movement in Durango and do my part to promote local food.
Making the choice
Wednesday, March 20, 2013
I couldn't have chosen a better college to attend and every day I am extremely thankful that I chose Fort Lewis. I attended high school in Glenwood Springs, Colorado and I knew that it would be very hard for me to leave Glenwood because it is such a beautiful, small mountain town with many outdoor activities available all year round. As high school was coming to an end, I knew that I would not be able to go to an out of state college. I wanted to go to a school where I could easily go skiing without driving a long way to the mountain.
Best mountain biking adventure in Durango
Wednesday, March 06, 2013
Engine Creek Ride!
Yes, it is true—most bikes in Durango are worth more than a person's car. I, myself, am almost guilty of that logic. Mountain bike riding is an amazing experience in Durango, and there are thousands of miles of trails that individuals can ride right outside their backdoor. I have done a good number of those "in town" rides, but the most epic ride that I have been on so far was a bit north of town. The name of the trail is Engine Creek Trail; a steep climb up Engineer Mountain followed by a techy downhill descent all around the circumference of Engineer Mountain is what makes this trail my favorite trail by far.
1000 miles to Durango
Tuesday, March 05, 2013
I have always loved the mountains. That's why when I found Fort Lewis College during my junior year of college, I didn't hesitate at the opportunity to transfer here. When I decided to move here, I sort of knew one person that I had gone to high school with in St. Louis four years before. Other than that, I didn't know anyone in the town. I couldn't have imagined how easy it was going to be to make new friends as a transfer student.

With co-owner/manager Eric Omores at the helm, Bash ushered in a short-lived era of relatively un-self-conscious enjoyment when it opened in April 1993. "I guess what made it great was the mix of people. Back then everybody just wanted to have fun," the Senegal-born, France-raised Omores recalls wistfully. "It was nothing pretentious." The space expanded the VIP-room concept and initiated many theme nights. Omores and his partners (including Simply Red frontman Mick Hucknall and, in the early years, actor Sean Penn and nightlife impresario Alexis Ogurik) sold the club this year. He already had moved on to open Nikki Beach Club and then Pearl with Tommy Pooch. But, says Omores, Bash will always be special to him: "It did leave a print in the history of nightclubs on South Beach."

Well, it's Christmas Eve today and I was supposed to go to Church for the Christmas Eve service followed by the dinner afterwards. I was looking forward to this for weeks. But somehow, God or fate or whatever you want to call it, had other plans.
I went to brunch with a friend on Thurday, all I had was some nachos and a quarter rack of BBQ ribs. Then I came home and had some frozen pizza which I toasted in the oven for 45 minutes, a small bowl of rice and a few pieces of savory pumpkin cake, it may not seem like much but I was violently ill afterwards, in the night, I threw up 3 times, I think I must have emptied my stomach of everything I ate!
That was not the end. After I threw up, I had chills. It was even worse the next day (Friday). I shivered the whole of the 4 hours on dialysis on Friday. I felt so bad I couldn't even finish the 4 hour treatment and ended 30 minutes early.
Fortunately for me, after a few phone calls, I managed to sell my Christmas Eve dinner ticket to a Christian woman with a Buddhist husband. The ticket that I sold was meant for this man, I really hope that he gets saved, then that will make my sacrifice more meaningful.
Well, I started on a course of antibiotics last night. The doctor just happened to be in the dialysis center on Friday. I feel better today but I still have not enough appetite for the Christmas dinner. I so afraid that if I eat too much, I might throw up again.
It's like I wasn't meant to go. It was like preordained by God. I mean, the doctor only comes to the center once a month, and he just happened to be there on Friday. And my Dad, who's a pharmacist, just happened to have exactly 5 days worth of doses of the prescribed antibiotics, as prescribed by the doctor. I didn't even have to go and buy the meds!
Weird huh? Maybe God really wants to save that man, (the husband of that lady). Who knows?
A friend of mine treated me to brunch today, and it was a sodium fest! I'm still thirsty now, and the bad news is, I think I overloaded in fluids because of the sodium!
We had cheesy nachos and half a rack of BBQ Ribs. We shared both. I also had 2.5 slices of frozen pizza for dinner. I don't feel good right now, like I'm bursting with sodium and fluids.........
I hate to think what will happen tomorrow at the dialysis center...........
Then, there's the Christmas Eve dinner, hopefully, I'll be ok once the festive season is over........
I think my printer head, which is located on the printer catridge itself is clogged! I was refilling the black on the other day when with a slip of my hand, I spilled black ink all over the catridge. I think I just need to clean the head with a proper printer head cleaning liquid that I'll have to purchase and my printer will work again!
I wanted to go today to buy it but I'm afraid I don't have the courage to compete in the mall with last-minute Christmas shoppers! Maybe after Christmas!
I went to my hairdresser to trim my fringe, it was getting over long and poking my eyes, causing me to rub them unnecessarily coz it itches. He told me earlier the fee for fringe trimming was RM10. I've already gone to him twice for overall trimming, which cost me RM65 per trim.
He's a little pricey but the cut is good. I've decided to just let my hair grow for at least six months before the next trim.
Anyway, back to today, he trimmed my fringe nicely, but when I went to pay him, he said it was free! That's why I said today is my lucky day! I bought myself some coconut jelly and some snacks with the money I saved. I also bought a chicken and mushroom bun. I had RM3 left over and I put it in my dialysis centre purse in case I need to pay for my own lunch next time.
I feel so good! My hairdresser is sooo kind!
I find it really hard to explain what I mean by that, so I'll just give it my best shot......
I felt blue, just plain blue, and nothing I did would chase it away, it was like this black cloud hanging over my heart. I took my simplest cross-stitch project (a little bookmark for someone's birthday) and started stitching away at the coffee table while my Dad watched "The Quantum of Solace" (I thought I'd have company and feels so alone by doing it downstairs) but still, the blue feeling persisted.
I'm glad to say that I don't feel blue right now but I felt it this afternoon. I felt terrible. Any suggestions how to chase the blues away?

Rated 5 out of 5 by NikiTu Excellent easy to use styler I bought the ghd IV styler to replace my old one which stopped working after 5+ years regular use. I did not even think about researching similar products, once you have used the best why would you change. I would recommend this product to family and friends August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Flo1988 Worth every penny I have always wanted a pair of GHD hair straighteners but they were always out of my price range so I always opted for the cheaper brands, these always ended up breaking which in turn costing me more! My sister has had the same pair GHDs where I have had at least 5 others! I wish I had just paid more in the first place as they are quite literally amazing! My hair felt shiny and smooth after I had used them, they are the perfect size plates for my long bobbed hair! They also work for curling too! They don't feel like they are buring your hair as they have one heat setting. They do not snag your hair and leave it feeling brittle! I like the fact they heat up quickly and they also turn off after half an hour! I would definatly recommend these! I also brought the heat mat/protector too which keeps them safe!! August 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by ark94 Once you use GHD, you can never use anything else Best straightener you can buy. Definitely worth the higher price. Only downside is the connection in the swivel cord wears out from movement August 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 Loving them, Was unsure if it was the product that hair dresser use on my hair and the training to make my hair look great when leaving, or the ghds - so my hair dresser gave me a pair to us for a couple of days to see what I thought - after using hers I was sold - best buy in along time !! Very happy with my ghds August 3, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jem97 Average This product was a present, they are okay not the best if I had the choice on buying some I would get the most expensive because you know there the best, August 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by saztom they do not feel as hot as they should be and feel very light not as hot as the last one and feels light not of same quality August 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jodie77 best straighteners ever Amazing made my hair so soft and shiny !! Kept my hair straight all day even when humid glide easily over my hair for a perfect finish every time August 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by slojo Fab Fab Fab Wasn't sure if they would be worth the money but they definitely are - these are fab. Really quick to heat up, straighten perfectly and it stays straight all day. Delighted with them. August 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mitch07 Should hve brought one sooner I have never owned a GHD but I am glad I own one now, I only wish I had brought it sooner. It is so quick and easy. It would normally take me at least 15 - 20 minutes to straighten my hair but with my new GHD, all done in 5 minutes. It looks like I walked out of a salon. My hair has never looked so healthy, shiny or smooth. Thank you. July 31, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Liquoricelover Less than impressed These came highly recommended and I have slightly wavy, normal hair which is usually straightened easily. Unfortunately I can't get a good result from these, my hair is never fully straight and within a few hours it becomes wavy again. My hair is good condition and not dyed. I wish I hadn't spent the extra money on these now. July 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Donna54 Excellent stylers My second pair of ghds. Easy to use with very little effort. Stylers do the job for you July 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Janina A straightener that won't let you down As a new mom, every day schedule is hectic with the little one. But with my crowning glory always straightened and smoothed, I feel I can do whatever it takes. I feel beautiful and composed even with the sleepless nights. Definitely, every woman must have! X July 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rosieroo ghd 1v styler I have been using this product for 4 years now and have tried other products in the past. This product is much better than others I have tried and have recommended it to friends. It is excellent value for money. July 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lizzy22 Fantastic procuct I am extremely happy with my GHD. It quick and easy and I can definitely see the difference between my previous straightener and the GHD. Should have brought one years ago. July 29, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by roseman Not working as well as I thought it would I find that my hair becomes very oily very quickly after using the GHD. Also, instead of my hair being sleek, it is frizzy the day after. July 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Raksha I thought they would be better I expected better as it's expensive I would not recommend this product to any of my friend, I have used ghd before but maybe the one I have isn't as good . July 28, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Eloneill1 Disappointing This is the 3rd ghd I have purchased and I must say the old ones worked far better than this new one . I struggle to straighten my hair with these new straighteners I'm so disappointed July 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by elliewelly Good Quality Pleased so far very easy to use, recommended to others July 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hellosophieee Well worth the money! Bought these ghd straighteners 2 weeks ago and can't fault them one bit, they heat up in no time and straighten my hair better than any others! July 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AggieMay Best Straighteners ever I bought GHD's after trying my Daughter in laws. Now takes seconds for them to heat, and half the time to sort my hair. Love them July 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by PDG2605 Updated version of my old styler I bought the GHD IV styler about 3 weeks ago when my old GHD's finally stopped working. They were 7 years old ! I hope the new styler will last as long. I like the little alarm alert they have to tell you they are ready to use. Still plan to have my old ones repaired (every girl knows you just can't be without them# Will probably update my salon styler by the end of the year too #yes I have 2 GHD's - salon styler for the lengths and the classic for my fringe# I have naturally very curly hair #almost afro) but prefer to wear straight - a lot of work but not with these babies! Love Love Love GHD's ! July 25, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by disgruntled Don't believe the hype I bought these as replacement straighteners and wish I had not. They do not straighten my hair easily and I feel them "scraping" my hair. I feel they are too expensive for what they are. You cannot regulate the heat. The plates are very very small. July 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Janmay8 Excellent product This product was delivered to me within 16 hours which was amazing. I am very pleased with it, not having bought a ghd product before. I like the rapid heating of the straightener , much quicker than my old product. All in all a very satisfied customer. July 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ger46 value for money The hair straighters were just what i wanted,straightens and curls very quickly and easily,great value for money. July 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by jomo A good product I bought my 1st styler in 2006 and it had started being unreliable, to I got this new one to replace it. The plates are much lighter and I do not think that the performance is quite up to my previous styler, which is a shame. But it is still a good product, and works better than my old one did now that its broken. July 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jeney Great product Have been using ghd for years and would never change July 21, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by flowerange Not as good as my old one, sent them back Not very good at all ,didn't straighten as good as my old set, sent back to the shop I got them from, going to buy a pair from my local hairdresser July 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MummaP Mrs Does the job and straightens and smoothes my thick, course hair . Creates curls too. July 21, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Celiamombie Not as good as my old GHD's I have always bought GHD straighteners and wouldn't buy anything else but my previous pair bought about 5 years ago were much better than my recently purchased pair. July 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by HayleyR Does a great job but spells faintly of burning Love my new GHD - it does a fantastic job straightening my hair quickly and easily but after a month of using it, it still smells faintly like burning plastic, which is off-putting. July 21, 2014
Do I look
Like I want
A cardie
for christmas?
Subtlety works for no one and a cardie won't work for you. Send your loved ones a hint to make sure you get the gift you really want this year. Don't be shy.
If you have to, spell it out... g.h.d!
Personalise your hint below by entering a novelty gift that you don't want to receive, then we'll tell them
what you really want.
They don't
want to
get the hint
Unfortunately, {0} doesn't want to receive emails from ghd, so we cannot send them your hint. But don't worry, there are still lots of ways to get what you want this year, including:
- Pop into your local approved salon and pick up a hint card at the desk
- Leave not-so-subtle hints with strategically placed magazines and the ghd adverts circled
- Share our social posts so they #getthehintdarling
We think
they've got
the hint
We are on a mission to make you happy this holiday season, and it seems you are too. Unfortunately, sometimes less is more and you have used all of your hints for today. But there is always tomorrow!
You've just
sent the hint
We hope your not-so-subtle hint gets you the gift you want to receive this holiday season. Just to make sure, drop more hints so they #getthehintdarling

MassDOT today announced a licensing agreement has been reached to provide parking in two lots under the elevated portion of the I-93 Southeast Expressway in Boston.
The agreement with GTI Properties, a locally owned and operated property management and development company, calls for management and security for 235 parking spaces available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for use by the public. Approximately 60 parking spaces will be set aside for use by the nearby Pine Street Inn non-profit agency serving the homeless and 15 spaces for the Zipcar vehicle-sharing service. The facility will also include up to 12 spaces for electric vehicle parking and provide bike cages for up to 23 bicycles. In addition, GTI will host up to 12 events throughout the year at the facility and work with MassDOT to maintain the current revolving artistic lighting installations.
"This public-private partnership represents a huge win on so many levels," said MassDOT Secretary and CEO Richard A. Davey. "We have converted a former storage area into a space that will be useful, attractive, and serve the public and important neighborhood institutions while advancing the goal of promoting healthy transportation options."
"Putting the vacant land under the highway to good use has been a "someday" wish for the neighborhoods that surround it," said John J. Kiger, Director of Commercial Leasing at GTI Properties. "GTI Properties is excited to be part of the team bringing much-needed parking, safety and convenience, and artistic expression to an area that could have been forgotten but that is about to be celebrated."
The five-year licensing agreement with GTI Properties requires staffing the parking areas with operations and security patrols around the clock. The parking spaces will be used by employees, residents and customers of the businesses in the adjacent neighborhoods along with the SoWa Sunday market and other events and festivals, in addition to the spaces set aside for the Pine Street Inn and Zipcar.
There will be overnight parking for residents of the South End, South Boston and Chinatown neighborhoods with a resident permit parking sticker. There will also be a limited amount of free parking for those neighborhoods during snow emergencies declared by Mayor Walsh, with the exact details to be worked out.
The 235 parking spaces in two lots covered in the agreement with GTI Properties represent Phase 1 of the I-93 parking project. Phase 2 scheduled for substantial completion in December 2014 will include construction of approximately 200 additional parking spaces accessible from Traveler Street, a new multi-modal path connecting the South Bay Harbor Trail to Kneeland Street, and a new, transportation-themed public space which extends the Boston Harborwalk along the Fort Point Channel.
When both phases of the project are completed, the parking facility will cover approximately eight acres of property bound by Albany Street and Frontage Road and adjacent to the South End neighborhood of Boston to the West, the Fort Point Channel and South Boston to the East. The parking is strategically located where I-90 and I-93 highway ramps converge with local roads, multimodal paths, transit connections, and the Fort Point Channel in an area transitioning from industrial to residential and commercial uses. MassDOT previously used the property for construction staging and storage.
