- Myocardial Remodeling (cardiac chamber sizes, wall thickness, left ventricular ejection fraction, left atrial volumes, and diastolic function) assessed by transthoracic echocardiogram [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Blood Pressure [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Study Start Date:
|April 2007
|Study Completion Date:
|September 2011
|Primary Completion Date:
|September 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Placebo Comparator: Lactose Tablet
Compounded capsule using Lactose Monohydrate Powder
Drug: Lactose Tablet
Lactose tablet
Active Comparator: Eplerenone
25 mg tablet placed in a capsule filled with Lactose Monohydrate Powder.
Drug: Eplerenone
25mg PO daily (QD)for 6 months
Other Name: Inspra
Detailed Description:
The purpose of this project is to determine if eplerenone, an aldosterone blocker, prevents remodelling of the heart in patients with controlled essential hypertension, defined as having a blood pressure of equal to or less than 130/80 in diabetics and equal to or less than 140/90 in non-diabetics. This study will investigate if the addition of 25 milligrams of eplerenone daily to a subject's hypertension medication regimen will prevent the progression or development of diastolic dysfunction. Echocardiography will be used to measure the changes in heart structure of subjects receiving eplerenone versus subjects receiving placebo (a drug that may resemble the study drug but contains no active ingredient). Approximately 30 subjects will take part in this study.

RB Peterson Featured in ESPN Ad CampaignPosted by on August 24, 2009 – 3:38 pm
ESPN has commenced airing its Monday Night Football ad campaign, a series of commercials that will feature Vikings RB Adrian Peterson. To view one of the ads featuring Peterson, click here.
Aside from being one of the league's top players, part of the appeal of having Peterson appear in ads promoting Monday Night Football is that the Vikings will appear on MNF 2 times this season – a home game against Green Bay on October 5 and then a road game at Chicago on December 28.
The ads featuring Peterson focus on the grind of training camp that he experiences and then relates that to the everyday work experience fans endure – waking up early to a screaming alarm clock, getting "hit" with the stresses of work and dealing with fellow "co-workers" (in the locker room). Peterson gets through the day by dreaming about playing on Monday Night Football and also displays moves so amazing that ESPN MNF commentators Mike Tirico, Jon Gruden and Ron Jaworski use the words "mean back", "re-donkulous" and "play on, playa" to describe his play.

Which restaurants do you want to try in Hudson Valley?
- GIOny Jul 15, 2007 12:04 PM
With so many restaurants in the Hudson Valley (from Westchester and points north & west) which restaunts have you intrigued enough to really want to try regardless of distance. I get so many ideas from this board and other sources that I have a list 2 feet long, some include Q in Portchester, One in Irvington, Caterinna de Medici up in Hyde Park (CIA), Quinta Steakhouse over in Rockland, Thai Garden in Sleepy Hollow, X2O in Yonkers, Shadows up in Poughkeepsie, Azzurri in Thornwood and Tango Grill in White Plains. This is just a small portion of my list but it's a start. Which ones are on your mind??
If you want to try some restaurants north of Westchester County, then forget about Shadows. I thought it was just a "event" type place for weddings and stuff. In fact, when I lived in the area I didnt hear about anyone ever going to eat over there. Caterina Di Medici is OK. Its good but nothing great. Aroma Osteria in Wappinger Falls (about 25 minutes south on route 9) is much better, but visiting the CIA is fun and they have pretty views and a good Library. If your there though, unless oyur set on eating at a restaurant there, I would just eat at the cafe take it outside if its a nice day and sit in front of the hudson.
Other places in that area that are worth trying are Calico in Rhinebeck. Le Pavilion (I think thats still considered Poughkeepsie) and Le Petit Bistro (also in Rhinebeck) are very for french. There is also a swanky new restaurant in Downtown Poughkeepsie in a very non swanky working class (others might say decaying urban area) called Artist Palate. Have heard good things about it. Busy Bee in poughkeepsie is also great. The best part is that none of these restaurants will lleave you broke, espescially when compared to Westchester's best Restaurants.
The place I would really really really really want to go to is The Basement Bistro in Earlton, NY. I have heard crazy things about it. The chef owner apparently grows most of the ingredients in his backyard and its supposed to be a real experience. Sort of like Blue Hill Stone Barns but better and cheaper. Also would like to try One and Nessa.
re: Sambossanova
i went to shadows a couple months ago; it is geared towards events, but the restaurant area tries hard to be a miami-type restaurant in appearance, with a great view.
the restaurant itself, to me, is a great place to go with people from work, or a group of friends, or anything like that; the appetizers are nice, the desserts are huge and tasty, and their drinks are - well, purchased from someone who's selling the recipes (as a mixologist and has appeared onthe food network).
the main meals are good for what they are - that is, decent food a bit overpriced. if i want a steak, i'll go to schlesinger's rather than there; if i want better prepared food, i'll go to haymaker or tonique's. it's all done fine, it's just not *great*.
i posted about artist's palate last year during hudson valley restaurant week, and i wouldn't go back there (and i live less than 10 miles away). i especially wouldn't drive any distance for it - not wit hthe above places or the would, 96 main, cia, etc. all just as far (from the south, west or east)
re: Sambossanova
they don't necessarily have to be north of Westchester, they could be next door....Westchester is part of the Hudson Valley. But I will cross Shadows off the list, your right I haven't heard much about the food it was more about the atmosphere.Basement Bistro sounds interesting...thanks for the tip.
re: Sambossanova
waht didn't you like about the artist's palate not quite the diner you were looking for? we have eaten there plenty of times never a bad meal, a little noisey at time but always good. Unlike the big convention center on the waterfront
re: thehammer
i posted about it during restaurant week last year, but we stopped in for lunch and the food wasn't good (i think the desserts were good, though i forget, but the mains definitely weren't and the service was poor).
I highly recommed Monteverde, a manor right on Bear Mountain. I was there for a small family thing - a small private room was rented out for about 20 of us - and the food was fabulous, good service, but most impressive were the grounds - while we waited we hung out out back, sat on adirondack chiars, waitstaff wandered around outside to take drink orders, and we just walked around and enjoyed the Hudson River view. GORGEOUS. They actually have several outdoor spaces where you can have parties, so you'd actually PREFER wandering around and checking the entire place out for at least a half hour before being seated. the rest of teh interioir looked nice as well. Fairly upscale overall - can't wait to return. It's also an Inn with a few rooms.
re: heidemarie
Wow, it's good to see someone finally saying something good about Monteverde. I know that during Restaurant Week last year, none of us who ate there had anything good to say about it, and I spoke to a co-worker who had eaten there at full price and did not like the place, either. Maybe I'm still pissed that they rushed us through a 3 course dinner in 55 minutes when there was no one waiting for our table. Oh, and refusing to substitute a side dish (compared to our meal at Valley where they made a special batch of the side to avoid an ingredient we did not want included). And the prices are so ridiculously expensive, for less than that price you can eat anywhere else . I think you had a much different experience because you were outside and did not pay.
I would like to try some of the places on the west side of the Hudson, up north of Rockland. New World Cooking up in Saugerties always looks interesting.
I used to love the CIA but I have tired of it. They raised their prices to the point where they are no longer a bargain and if you are going to pay full price, there are better places to eat.
re: MisterBill2
oh, new world is cool. the string beans are a must-try (esp. for a group of people), the specials are usually based off of a "hey, what local stuff could we get yesterday/today?" philosophy, the kitchen is open so you can usually see ric and others working from the chest up, there's lots of funky art on the walls, and the regular meals are good and consistent.
it's hard to justify that trip by itself (i'm an hour away) but wrap it in something else - a walk around the woodstock 'downtown', a trip to saugerties for lighthouse or the garlic festival - and it's definitely something to enjoy.
re: MisterBill2
I think the food is still very good all three CIA restaurants. I never felt like it was supposed to be a bargin. To me the fact that it's all students is what makes it special. We always have a good time learning about their studies and future plans. It's not like getting served by a professional waiter which in my opinion is what makes it special.
re: hudsonvalleyfoodblog
I agree that speaking to the students is what makes the CIA enjoyable. But it's a pain to get reservations on Saturday nights, and the food is not as good as at comparably priced places at this point.
re: MisterBill2
Try going during the week. It's much better. Last time we went we got a tour of the kitchen. It was very cool. I think the food is pretty good. The price is a bit high but I don't mind that. You can also make reservations online. I don't know if you tried that yet but at least you can see what's avaliable.
re: heidemarie
I know it's 2 months later but I found these original postings and decided to give Monteverde a try for my husband's 35th bday and I had to come back to report that the original negative reviews were more on target. The food was pretty good but there were cobwebs all over the light fixtures and the service was just not up to snuff if this wants to be a serious contender. No one even came to greet us for nearly ten minutes. Our appetizers arrived before our drinks. An hour into the meal I was informed that my entree was no longer available, so I had to re-order an option I was much less excited about and we had to wait another 20 minutes for our entrees. We then also had to wait forever to order dessert - as slow as the service had been thus far I figured I had time to run to the ladies' room but when I came back, found they had served dessert in the 5 minutes I was gone! I had ordered a clafouti (sp?) that was apparently quite dramatic in the serving (pouring of custard, etc.) but I missed it! Then to add insult to injury they still charged me for my original entree and not my 2nd choice which was $8 cheaper. At least the maitre' d had the class to take the entree off the check completely. I'm not going to lie, guys, it was rough. Especially for a big birthday when you want it to be great.
Some of us still think of Monteverde as the Oldstone Inn, when they had a much more casual feel and really good, classic food. The grounds were and still are, spectacular. However, Monteverde is a bit over the top concerning pricing. Their prices are pretty close to top NYC restos, Daniel, Gramercy, et al. Not worth it, IMHO.
re: menton1
I've been to Monteverde, not looking to try that again (although I hear they have nice spa services), but there are 2 other restaurants I've heard about and would like to try...... one is Vox up in North Salem and I still have never been to Zuppa in Yonkers, is it still good? Also has anyone ever been to Quinta's steakhouse over in Rockland County??
There is a new restaurant that some of you mentioned but non seemed to go to called Shadows on the Hudson. It is located directly on The Hudson with an indoor and outdoor bar and plenty of outdoor seating. Specialty drinks are hand crafted and great. The food is better than average but not gourmet. You should go expecting a good meal at a very fair price given the size of the menu. Service was great and the view is to die for. I will definitely be going back.
re: janthony
i pretty much agree RE: shadows. i posted about it somewhere on here, though i'd include something about the desserts which were huge and tasty.
not gourmet by any stretch. i described it as a good place to go with people from work who want all the extras (view, decor, etc.)
Il Cenocolo in Newburgh - near the Newburgh Mall, not river front- is absolutely great Italian food, where the menu is limited, but they feature 15-20 specials a night - I had an amazing penne with ground veal, tasted a paprpadelle with ragu, smoked trout appetizer, amazing lentils as part of a delicious antipasto platter.
re: elizabeththinks
And Frank is back! Frank 'made' Cenacola when I was there last, I had an outstanding meal.
I want to try Basement Bistro in Greene County.
Anyone been?
re: NYchowcook
Just went to a wedding at Il Barilotto in Fishkill. Although owned by the same folks who own Aroma Osteria (one of the wedding guests never got her meal at Aroma), the food was excellent, the drinks were spot on, and the wedding was a hoot.
The band was The Saints of Swing, out of Kingston. The entire experience was excellent. I recommend the restaurant.
re: NYchowcook
reservations are tough to get. we've been trying for 1+ month (we can only go early on sunday pm because of babysitting, so it's a combination of them having few seats, and us having a small window)...i plan on posting when we get them.
Just thought I would update this since I orginally posted it. Been to a few of the places that were on my list....went to Q in Portchester and I liked it and would go back again. Went to Quinta Steakhouse over in Rockland and while the service was very good and the people were very friendly, it is called a steakhouse and I didn 't get the steak I ordered. It was funny because I went to this place back in early August just after reading the steak thread on this board and how one of the chowhounds stated that we don't always get the cut of meat that they tell you on the menu. So I really paid attention to what I was getting. I ordered a rib eye and after the first bite (I know I should of even noticed before then, but I'm new at this) I knew it wasn't a rib eye. So I called the waiter over and then the manager came over and he acknowledged that it didn't look like a ribeye and proceeded to give me some crap about where this rib eye was cut from, I don't think even he could keep a straight face. So, will not be back there, not worth the trip. Went to a party last nght up in Poughkeepsie at Shadows. Well evertything I heard about it was true. It's a beautiful place right on the Hudson with great views and that's where the praise ends. Since I heard the food was less then stellar I figured I would order the prime rib, I find in places where I'm not sure about I order the prime rib, it's hard to mess that up. Well think again. I've never seen a piece of meat quite like this, it looked like fatty shoeleather and tasted like it to. Although I will say the appetizers that we got were all pretty good and the prices are reasonable. So maybe go for drinks, appetizers and the view.
re: rwitkowski
checked out their website...a couple questions.
first, is this menu complete, or does it (i'm hoping) have more additions based on seasonality / what's best that week / etc.? http://globalpalaterestaurant.com/Men...
and...what's the dress code?
re: hudsonvalleyfoodblog
Is Il Cenacola still good? I had been several times but then I went a couple years ago and had a bad experience. Friends had also gone and gave us negative feedback. Haven't been back since. Blue Hill and Bird and Bottle are very good!! Haven't been to Plumbush in awhile but that was always good. Try their apple fritters for dessert.
re: hudsonvalleyfoodblog
I've heard that Il Cenacola is good again. In fact, the server whom I thought outstanding (perhaps he is manager now?), Frank, is back after an absence.
re: dolores
that's good to hear. I hope to try it soon. I think Sapore is next on my list in Fishkill.
Swoon Kitchenbar in Hudson is absolutely superb. The menu changes regularly and is always interesting. The owners are the chef and pastry chef, so everything, including the desserts, is very serious cooking. The atmosphere is beautiful and service is very professional for this area.
Madalin's Table in Tivoli is on the same level as Swoon, with an interesting seasonally updated menu. Superb food, beautiful atmosphere, including a veranda for outdoor dining in warm weather, and generally fine service.
Red Dot in Hudson has upgraded its menu to be more in competition with Swoon, but still offers some lower priced and more basic dishes, all of good quality. Atmosphere is lively and casual with a busy bar. Service is basic but friendly.
Swiss Hutte in Hillsdale is well-known to locals, but somewhat under the radar outside the area. The menu ranges from French to German to northern Italian, and is of a very high quality. Dishes tend to be classic rather than innovative, but are prepared with great care using high-quality ingredients. Setting is rustic elegant, and service is formal and professional. It has a very European feeling.
Another to add to the list: we just had dinner tonight at Ciao Bella which recently opened in Hudson. The focus is Sicilian and they have some dishes you can't find anywhere around here, such as tripe, scungilli, rabbit, and spaghetti with fresh sardine sauce. Many other more conventional dishes, and the food was very good and served in massive portions at very reasonable prices. Not gourmet, but really tasty and authentic.
I would also add the Eveready Diner in Hyde Park and the West Taghkanic Diner. Eveready is much more glitzy and a bit more expensive but has great food. The WT is a classic, looks like it has not changed since the 1950's, but serves good homemade comfort food at very low prices and great service from a very friendly staff. Both of these are far better than the average diner.
re: MisterBill2
Eveready is good, however I like The Daily Planet on Rt 55 better. (BF had hot opened turkey at Eveready and it was not sliced from the bird, as bad as it was the cajun burger was that good) The owners are cousins and the food is similar. If you do get to the Daily Planet pick up one of their almond paste cakes, unbelievably good.
re: MisterBill2
EverReady was featured on the show Diners, Dives and Drive-Ins of the Food Network.
re: rrems
i'm jealous!
how long (for reservations) did you have to wait to get in? we keep trying, but because we're relatively tight on when we can go (early saturday or sunday evening, due to kids), it's tough. we're hoping to get better luck when march or april rolls around; we're about as far from there as nyc, and there's no trains to earlton...
re: bob gaj
I called about 2 weeks before, and they had an opening at 6:30 on Friday. The dinner took 4 hours, so it was good that we got an early start. When we got there only one table was occupied and a group was coming in later. So overall it was not very busy, but since the owner does everything himself, I don't know how many tables he will book at a time. Keep trying as it is well worth it.

"Author's aren't narrators"
I have loved this author's other books and was really looking forward to this one, but the story was often lost in the very poor performance. The female voice was fine, but the other two were not. Very disappointing.
The narrator's voice was often slurred and difficult to understand. I suggest you listen to the sample before purchase. i wish I had. I couldn't finish it.

What is ccs.exe?
Ccs.exe is a executable file (a program) within Windows. The filename extension .exe denotes an executable file. You should only run executable files from publishers you trust, because executable files can potentially change your computer settings or harm your computer. The free file information forum can help you determine if ccs.exe is a virus, trojan, spyware, or adware that you can remove, or a file belonging to a Windows system or to an application you can trust.
Ccs.exe file information
The process known as Command Converter Server belongs to software Cisco Configuration Service (CCS) or Cisco Configuration Service or CodeWarrior Development by Cisco Systems (www.cisco.com) or Metrowerks.
Description: Ccs.exe is not essential for the Windows OS and causes relatively few problems. The file ccs.exe is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32.
Known file sizes on Windows 7/XP are 20,480 bytes (46% of all occurrences), 36,864 bytes and 6 more variants.
There is no description of the program. The program has no visible window. The ccs.exe file is located in the Windows folder, but it is not a Windows core file. Ccs.exe is not a Windows system file. Ccs.exe is able to hide itself. Therefore the technical security rating is 68% dangerous; however you should also read the users reviews.
Recommended: Identify ccs.exe related errors
If ccs.exe is located in a subfolder of "C:\Program Files", the security rating is 26% dangerous. The file size is 258,048 bytes.
The program has a visible window. There is no information about the author of the file. The application uses ports to connect to a LAN or the Internet. The ccs.exe file is not a Windows core file.
If you want to remove the program completely, go to Control Panel ⇒ Software ⇒ CodeWarrior Development.
Important: Some malware disguises itself as ccs.exe, particularly when not located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder. Therefore, you should check the ccs.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.

Eight common foods cause 90% of food allergies; Bell pepper is not one of them. That is little consolation for those who suffer from this less common food allergy.
Food allergies are caused by a number of different proteins and enzymes present in the food. The allergen, the substance which causes an allergy, in this case is Bell pepper (Capsicum annuum), or more specifically, one of the proteins or enzymes contained in Bell pepper.
All peppers contain capsicum, the stuff that makes peppers hot, in varying amounts. Also present in peppers, in differing amounts or not at all, are profilins, Bet V1 (a common food allergen), and protein P23. A sampling of ten different peppers might all look the same, but, depending on the strain, a person with a pepper allergy might react to all of them, only three of them, or none of them.
An allergy is the body's immune system response to an allergen. On the first exposure to an allergen, the body becomes sensitized. No symptoms of an allergic reaction are noticed but the body produces an antibody IgE. At the next exposure to the allergen, the body is prepared to defend itself against the allergen. More IgE is produced and an allergic reaction occurs which may include runny nose, sneezing, wheezing, itching, swelling, hives, vomiting, stomach cramps or diarrhea. With each subsequent exposure to the allergen, the body has an increased allergic response. This type of allergy is known as a Class I or complete food allergy.
A person allergic to Bell pepper may also react to other nightshade vegetables such as tomato, eggplant, potato, or tobacco. This is known as a cross-reaction and occurs when a person who has developed sensitivity to one allergen is exposed to a similar allergen from another source. The allergy that results from a cross-reaction is known as a Class II or incomplete food allergy. The allergen in a Class II allergy is capable of eliciting allergy symptoms even though the person has never been sensitized. This means a person might experience symptoms upon the first exposure to a new food.
Those with Bell pepper allergy must also be alert for a possible allergy to latex. 70% of those with latex allergy experience cross-reactions with food. Many foods can elicit this cross-reaction response and Bell pepper is one of the more common elicitors. For a list of foods, go to http://www.aaaai.org/aadmc/ate/category.asp?cat=9887
The symptoms of cross-reactive allergies are usually limited to Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS), characterized by itching, tingling, swelling, and lesions in and around the mouth. A less common occurrence with OAS is anaphylaxis, the life-threatening allergic response resulting in narrowing airways, decreased blood pressure and heart malfunction.
Typically, OAS is limited to symptoms in and around the oral cavity. Symptoms will resolve with time or may be treated with over-the-counter oral antihistamines like loratadine (Claritin) or chlorpheniramine (Chlor-trimeton). Hydroxizine HCL (Atarax, Vistaril) is available by prescription for severe symptoms.
All food allergies are to be taken seriously. Though the symptoms may be mild and considered "worth it" for a favorite food, the reaction can become severe without warning. Any time food allergy is suspected, a trip to the doctor is in order for a definitive diagnosis. Any swelling in the throat or difficulty breathing is cause to seek immediate medical attention.
Bell pepper allergy may not be common, but management is the same as for any food allergy. Avoid the allergen, be on the alert for any cross-reactions, and treat symptoms right away. In spite of the best efforts, an inadvertent exposure will occur. Be prepared by visiting the family doctor or allergist with the first experience of an allergic reaction. Education and having the appropriate medications on hand have made the difference between life and death from a food allergy reaction.

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. - Charlotte County Sheriff's detectives arrested a wastewater treatment plant employee and two accomplices for stealing copper wire at the facility Thursday night in Port Charlotte.
Detectives received a tip and began surveillance on a blue van; they followed it and watched the van drive down Old Landfill Road, a dead end road into the water treatment plant at 3100 Loveland Blvd. A CCSO Aviation helicopter was called and using night vision equipment, located the van on the property that is secured by an electronic fence. Detectives went in and located the van, three adults and an 8 year old boy with them. They observed a ladder positioned under a power box with a large copper line cut and a rope tied around it. At another power box about 100 feet away, a pair of bolt cutters was also located. They also found a canvas bag containing tools and beer.
Detectives took the three men and the boy to the District Office for questioning. The three were identified as Paul Anthony Davis, 45, 6334 Granger Rd., Gardens of Gulf Cove; Robert Christopher Carroll, 46, and Gregory Sean Turner, 42, both of 3745 Blitman St., Gulf Cove. Turner is the father of the little boy.
Detectives learned the three men had planned the theft and Davis let Carroll and Turner into the secured property with the van around 8:30 p.m. It was also learned that this was the second time copper was stolen from a building on the property that occurred about two weeks ago. The stolen copper wire was taken to Allied Recycling and sold for $900 and split amongst all three men. The investigation continues.
Davis, Carroll, and Turner were transported to the Charlotte County Jail and all were charged with Grand Theft and Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor. Bond was set at $3,500 each.

I love this iron, it makes fixing my hair very easy and quick. Before I bought the ghd I had a Sedu, which was okay but less than a year after I bought it it wouldn't turn on unless I held the cord at a certain angle. Needless to say, I couldn't straighten and hold the cord at the same time with much success. After the Sedu failed me I did some research on which iron was the best, and I found great reviews for the ghd. It was pretty pricey so I just kept using the Sedu for awhile. At my next hair appointment I noticed my hair styler had a ghd, something I hadn't noticed before. I asked her about it and she said she could get me one for $175, which is quite a discount from retail. My husband, being the sweety he is bought it for my Valentine's gift! Yay!
It straightens wonderfully, not too flat with just the right amount of volume. It also doesn't seem to damage my ends like other straighteners can. I hate that straw ended look that you can get with a crappy iron, I feel bad for girls with obviously straightened hair, I fell like I need to convert them! hehe. The ghd also curls, and quite well too. At first I didn't even try to curl with it, but once you practice and get the hang of it they turn out great. I would totally recommend the ghd. See if your stylist can cut you a deal and go get it.
I absolutely adore my ghd. I had lusted after one for years then finally caved when my hairdresser informed me that she had one limited edition "dark" ghd left, and that she'd give me a discount for being a customer of hers. I paid NZ$320 for mine. They usually cost between $360 and $390. The ghd heats up really quickly and makes a cute chirp when it has heated. I've noticed a lot less damage- when I used mine or a friend's Remington, I could see the new split ends and "snappies" immediately if I looked through my hair. The ghd still does a little damage, of course, but all heat styling will do that anyway. The great thing about ghd is that their technology greatly reduces the amount of damage. My hair is quite fine so I just bought the usual stylers- those people who complained it didn't straighten their hair enough perhaps would have been better off with the one for thick hair? It was a super expensive straightener, but it comes with a two year warranty and I've never known any of my friend's ghds to break unless they themselves had caused damage to it. I look forward to years of gorgeous hair! Expensive but in my opinion, totally worth it.
So I had finally perfected blow-drying my curly hair straight when the GHD came out. At first I thought this was a gimick, and would be just like the crappy $60 ones you can buy. After hearing so many great reviews though I decided to go for it and buy one. I got the wide plated GHD and I love it!
It heats up in 2 minutes and my hair is gorgeous and straight in about 20 minutes - no product required.
My hairdresser told me that I should have got the regular thin style so I could create waves and curls etc, but I have curly hair already! This is so much faster since you can straighten more hair at once. I think it would take me more like 30 minutes with the thin one.
Anyway, if you are planning on getting a flat iron, just get this and forget the rest. You won't be sorry and they last and last and last. 3 years on and mine is still good as new.
My only problem is with my hair that will go curly in the damp night air or the rain but that is another story!
after debating between this and the Chi based on reviews on MUA, I caved at Sephora when the SA told be that it had a built in shut off after 30 minutes. lol I have a tendency to forget to turn off my iron at 5 in the morning!
Pros: super fast heat up, automatic heat according to hair type, smooth plates
Cons: the almost prohibitive price!
After spending $350CAD on this, I'm very much hoping this will last a LONG time!
More reviews by MsAzNqTpRiNcEsS
though it heats up quickly, and gets my hair straight...i feel it doesnt make my hair as shiny as my sedu or even my remington shine therapy...made it look more dry...and overtime, the damage was pretty obvious...back to my old loves!!!
I have super thin, super frizzy/wavy/curly/partially straight hair. It defies the laws of logic and gravity. I'm talking Jew curls in the back, Ginger Kid frizz on the sides, straightness on top and ends which should not be spoken about in public because their appearance is that offensive. Naturally my hair is an odd shade of dark blond (thanks, shitty genes from the Russian heritage) so I compulsively dye it red/strawberry blonde to match my complexion and eyes. Said practice is obvi not conducive to healthy hair. Ah, the price we pay for beauty.
When I was young I did not know that a blowdryer can make your hair straight (ish), so I had hideous hair until mid-high school. Later on I discovered the straightener, but never got around to buying one until after college. None of them were quite good enough.
I've tried crappy pharmacy straighteners (needless to say, they are subpar), the CHI (biggest waste EVER), the T3 (ditto), and a slew of others. The results were tepid--either the plates weren't smooth or hot or cold enough or my hair just stayed frizzy or it got fried or all of the above... I had minor success with the Cortex (which I only bought because it was thin and baby blue, kind of precious), but it would rip my hair out by trapping it in the corners of the plates, which was a HUGE pain in the ass, so I was out on the hunt for THE BEST IRON.
I read reviews all over the place, which claimed that Paul Mitchell, FHI, HAI, Sedu, Solia blah blah blah were the best (for some reason there was no mention of GHD--perhaps a marketing ploy?), but looking at the irons I could kind of tell that they sucked--the plates didn't close well enough, or they weren't smooth enough, or they seemed too industrial looking for home use. In mid-summer this year my best friend bought the GHD, claiming that it's a huge hit in England/Ireland. We tried it and fell in love with it. Unfortunately for me, the near-$300 price tag (MK-IV pink iron is a little pricier because of the cute packaging) was pretty much a no-go. I had to wait quite a few months before procuring my own as a gift.
Anyway, although IMO this is the best straightening iron around, I do have a few qualms about it.
1. Hair still gets stuck between the plates, but the carnage is minor.
2. I still have iron crimp lines, though they're not as prevalent as with other irons.
3. While my hair is indeed straighter/smoother/less frizzy, parts of it still cannot be fully tamed, or tamed permanently. Walking outside in drizzle and having my hair survive? Forget about it.
4. Flips? Curls? Are you effing kidding me? Maybe I need to buy all of GHD's styling products or watch 4000 YouTube videos as the other reviewers recommend, because I can only get itty bitty flips and that's about it. And I consider myself a moderate hair/beauty guru.
5. Iron is indeed VERY hot and thus it's hard/impossible to grab hair once it's been under the iron, which is a pain in the ass when you're trying to layer/texturize in an OCD fashion. I'm thinking about buying an iron mitt to fix this dilemma.
1. Styling time slashed in half and it feels so smooth!
2. Iron heats up in like 5 seconds!
3. Straighter, softer, shinier hair by far, than other results irons
4. A hot pink iron in a precious little case with pink alligator clips?? Scooore!
In the end I think this iron is the best on the market, but it could use a few tweaks. Maybe my freakshow hair is just a bad judge of products?
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This thing is the most amazingly wonderfully awesome product I have ever purchased in my whole life (also most ridiculously expensive). I have NO regrets. My hair is naturally crazy with frizz and curls and I've tolerated it all my life! I've been called names in school, I've been through so many treatments (I haven't however, rebonded my hair... ever)... I've even reached that point where I don't want to care about it and caught myself in a lot of pain trying to fix my hair again. all I really wanted wasn't straight hair but just manageable hair. So really, to me the GHD is a godsend. I've used so many hair straighteners and I think I may have wasted more money than what the GHD actually costs so really, the price is something I'm willing to pay for. It gives me luscious curls and unbendable straight locks that look NATURAL. No crazy kinks, no weird angles... just easy glamour.
This is probably the best iron I've used, it does make my difficult hair, the most manageable. I do feel that is damages my hair quite a bit, and the outside of the iron can get hot. I alternate between this and my paul brown. I tend to use the paul brown more, because it has adjustable hear settings, so I'm able to spare my hair by using a low setting, when I'm not doing anything special or planning to be in humid weather. GHD does curl and flip really well! It reduces frizz the best, but I still think Paul Brown is really comparable.
**This review is also in another catagory**
Ok so I pretty much have the same story as everyone else. I was skeptical paying so much for a flat iron but after using this I consider this is probably the best investment in beauty I've made in a LONG time! Considering that I have gone thru THREE Chi's in the past 2 years I the price didn't really bother me so much since collectively I've spent more $$ on the Chi's. My hair is naturally VERY CURLY and VERY THICK. It's also been bleached, dyed, processed, foiled, and just beaten up over the past 6 months. Got to the point of my hair falling out and breaking if I even tried to brush it. A few days ago I got my hair foiled(my stylist almost didn't even do my hair cause it's so damaged). Anyways, along with some B&B Creme de Coco and a few days of no heat styling I decided I could straighten it again.
I NEVER knew what I was missing til I tried this product! I now realize what a POS my Chi was. Another reviewer commented that this makes your hair look NATURALLY straight!! Not that "my hair is curly but I fry it everyday with a flat iron" look. It's AMAZING! My hair LOOKS and FEELS healthy! And it has natural bounce and volume to it. Most straightens just make your hair look flat and dried out but this truely does seal moisture in. And I woke up this morning and my hair is still PERFECT! I could not recommend this product any higher, it's truely amazing. Makes me wish I had this in highschool when my hair was a big frizzball!
I've got a good friend who is a hair stylist and she's been trying to convince me to buy some GHDs for years. But I just couldn't see how they could be worth NZ$350. Every time she used them on my hair it looked amazing, but I always put that down to her skill. So, I tried to use them myself and was convinced within minutes to get some for myself and dump my Remingtons (which I thought did a great job until then).
They're incredibly light, which makes them really easy to use. They heat up within seconds and retain the heat so I don't have to go over the same piece of hair more than once. And, a big plus, the results last. My hair stays stick straight and frizz free for 3 days.
They're also fun to experiment with. I've been curling my hair with it lately, to get soft Angelina Jolie type waves. I take a section and turn the irons till they're at a 180 degree angle, and then run down the hair (I twirl the hair in my fingers after this to help keep the wave as it curls). There are a few videos on YouTube that shouw you how to do this. It's so easy!
For the money I would expect it to at least come with a heat proof mat or pouch.
If you're in the southern hemisphere, there is a cheaper way to get these. Buy them on HQhair.com. It's a UK site and you get the VAT discounted (which is 17.5%) if you live outside the EU. I saved $100 on the NZ price! Plus, they gave me a free heat mat.

Hello there! I've no idea how you got here, but why not check out some free comics, read a free science-fiction story, play a free text adventure game or perhaps watch a playthrough of the best Discworld game?

Or you could just bugger off, I don't really care if I'm honest.

Posted on Saturday 22nd November, 2014Disclaimer: before we get started, I'd just like to say that this article is in no way mocking the first world war – a great many people died in that horrible war and taught a lot of people about fighting for what you believe in by sacrificing all they had to give. My modern (fat) arse can't even begin to comprehend what it must have been like and I, like many, are not too sure about the intentions presented with the Sainsbury's advert. On the one hand it is good that lots of people are thinking about the first world war as a result of the advert, but on the other hand this is basically a five minute short film that's been put out to promote a supermarket1. With that thought in mind, on with the article! A few weeks ago John Lewis dazzled us with a bit of cutesy-wutesy...

Posted on Saturday 19th July, 2014This article was originally posted on the Blogsplosion – it has since been moved here to the portfolio as I really don't like to mix business and pleasure! Something dawned on me recently and I wanted to put it down on digital paper because although what I'm going to discuss should be obvious, it apparently isn't. The Non-Existent "Idiot" User UX, a ghastly acronym that actually stands for "User eXperience", was one of my favourite modules at university. It concerned people's expectations when they use a device or digital interface, and how systems should talk to their users. One of the biggest UX points is always "feedback" – if there's a problem with what a user has entered into a system, it needs to explain that there is a problem to the user in the hopes that the problem can be rectified with further human interaction. An example of this...
In a little British town, twin brothers Duke and Luke Right try to eke out a living while surviving the colourful and eclectic locals; there's the pair of local mad scientists who keep accidentally unleashing their experiments on the town, the big asylum up on the hill with the revolving door policy, the military camp that specialises in experimental weaponry and a whole menagerie of troublemakers - wannabe gangsters, other (more evil) mad scientists, cinema phantoms and salesmen, to name a few.
Follow the Right Brothers in this typically British comic, a whimsical series of tales in the style of Saturday morning cartoons and British comics like the Beano and Dandy.
It's not easy being an arms dealer. You've got policemen, secret agents and vigilantes to worry about, and those are just the good guys. Then you've got assassins, rival villains, mercenaries, mad scientists and even the odd environmental protester to consider. And that's not even mentioning the risks of your own hired help...
British criminal Mr. Pain just wants to deal some weapons. Is that so much to ask?
Dr. Ralph Smiffington the Third is a megalomaniacal hunchback with an evil eye and a chip on his shoulder. Dr. Ivanovich Gregori Romani Gyrode is an ageing ex-KGB scientist with a sweet moustache and a passion for disco, along with a penchant for putting small animals into robots. Together, they make the diabolical duo known simply as "The Two Doctors".
Follow the dastardly duo as they cause mischief and havoc in the name of villainy in tournaments such as Steel Nation and the Inter-Dimensional Derby, and then in their own world tour.
A.k.a "Let's Annotate Discworld Noir" - most people talk over the top of the game when they produce a Let's Play, but since DWN is all dialogue I just annotated the hell out of it instead using YouTube annotations.
Follow the Discworld's first (and possibly last) private investigator as he tries to solve a massive conspiracy that threatens the entire Disc in my Discworld Noir playthrough. Discworld is copyright © Sir Terry Pratchett.

Well done also to Mills and Extras, our highest scoring batsmen.
Right, I've been a supporter of Guptill since day one, but last night my patience finally ran out; I'd rather have pinga there than him and for me that's saying something. Hopkins, as usual, average with the bat and with the gloves. Great to see Williamson off the mark and to see him finding runs when Elliot had gone into full test defense mode. This was a game I missed McCullum & Ryder at the top with Vettorri hanging around in the trenches. At least Mills did something worth doing.
Honestly, I can't figure out whether the Indian bowlers were THAT good, or if NZ were just that crap. I err on the NZ bat being terrible side tbh.

Yemen terror alert: Obama says explosives found
President Barack Obama has said initial examinations of two suspicious packages bound for the US show they appeared to have contained explosive materials.
He said the packages, found in the UK and Dubai on two overnight cargo planes from Yemen, were destined for Jewish places of worship in Chicago.
Security alerts are under way in the US, UK and Middle East.
The White House later said Saudi Arabia had provided information that helped identify the threat.
The two packages found in Britain's East Midlands airport and in Dubai have now been made inert, US officials say.
UK Home Secretary Theresa May later said that the device found in Britain "did contain explosive material".
"But it is not yet clear that it was a viable explosive device. The forensic work continues," she added.
The security alert saw two other cargo planes owned by the freight company UPS searched in Newark and Philadelphia.
UPS said it had suspended its shipments out of Yemen.
Another suspect package from Yemen was examined on a delivery lorry in New York, and later declared safe.
In other developments:
- New aviation security measures are being taken in light of the alert, the US Homeland Security Department announces
- The US says that if a terror link is confirmed, the main suspects will be al-Qaeda's branch in Yemen - al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP)
- US fighter jets escorted Emirates flight 201 from Dubai into New York, with officials saying the action was being taken "out of an abundance of caution" because cargo from Yemen was on board
- Cobra, the UK government's emergency planning committee, met on Friday and was to meet again on Saturday as discussions continue about how to tighten UK security further
Mr Obama said the discovery represented a credible terrorist threat against the US.
Yemen has risen rapidly towards the top of the list of countries of concern for Western counter-terrorism officials in the past year. The group al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula - which has found a sanctuary in Yemen's ungoverned spaces - has shown increasing ambition and sophistication in its attempts to target the United States and others.
But while the origin of this plot seems clear, its exact form does not. The presence of explosives in the devices suggests this was no dry run or simply an attempt to cause panic through a hoax.
But forensic experts in the UK have been continuing to study the substances found in the parts for a printer to try to understand exactly what they were and how they were to be used. There appears to be a strong conviction these were parts for a bomb but whether they were complete and how they were to be detonated and against which target remains uncertain.
"Although we are still pursuing all the facts, we do know that the packages originated in Yemen," he told a White House press conference.
"We also know that al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula - a terrorist group based in Yemen - continues to plan attacks against our homeland, our citizens and our friends and allies."
Mr Obama said he was first informed about the packages late on Thursday and that President Ali Abdallah Saleh of Yemen had pledged his country's full support in investigating the threat.
However, the Yemeni government later expressed astonishment at reports linking the country to the two packages, according to the Associated Press news agency.
It quoted a Yemeni statement as saying that no UPS cargo planes had taken off from Yemen and there had been no direct or indirect flights to British or US airports.
Mr Obama said the US would continue to work to destroy al-Qaeda and its affiliates, and to root out violent extremism in all its forms.
US Homeland Security adviser John Brennan thanked the Saudi Arabians for their help.
"Their assistance, along with the hard work of the US counter-terrorism community, the United Kingdom, the UAE, and other friends and partners helped make it possible to increase our vigilance and identify the suspicious packages," he said.
Al-Qaeda and Jewish targets
- April 2002: Suicide bombing at synagogue in Djerba, Tunisia kills 19. Al-Qaeda claims the attack
- Nov 2002: 16 people killed in suicide bombing al-Qaeda claims to have carried out of Israeli-owned hotel in Mombasa, Kenya
- May 2003: 45 killed in bomb attacks in Casablanca, Morocco, on targets including Jewish cultural centre. Group linked to al-Qaeda blamed.
- Nov 2003: Two synagogues in Istanbul, Turkey, bombed, killing 23. Al-Qaeda claims responsibility
- Oct 2005: Germany sentences four Arab men accused of links to al-Qaeda of planning attacks on Jewish targets
A spokeswoman for the Jewish Federation in Chicago said the community had been warned to be on the alert in the wake of the discoveries.
"We were notified this morning that synagogues should be on the alert," the spokeswoman, Linda Haase, told Reuters news agency. "We are taking appropriate precautions and are advising local synagogues to do likewise."
The suspicious package in the UK was reportedly an ink toner cartridge that had been modified.
US officials told Associated Press they believed the Dubai and East Midlands packages contained the same explosive used in the failed bombing of a US-bound airliner last Christmas Day.
It quoted the officials as saying that full testing had not been completed but initial indications were that the packages contained PETN, a chemical that was also a component of shoe bomber Richard Reid's explosive in 2001.
The cargo planes in the US were taken to remote locations to be searched.
"Out of an abundance of caution the planes were moved to a remote location where they are being met by law enforcement officials," said the Transportation Security Administration.
Emergency services were called to the UK airport in Donington, Leicestershire, overnight and evacuated a distribution centre, while the suspicious package was examined.
US security services remain on a high level of vigilance in the wake of the attempted Times Square bombing in May and the alleged attempted Christmas Day attack.

I want to have sex with my ex boyfriend. I want to have sex with him because I love him and I want him to be my first. I just want to have sex with him once with him cause I want him to be my first. But here is the thing he has a girlfriend (who was his ex when we were going out). After we broke up when we were still close as friend he would tell me he wants to have sex with me. But then we kind of drifted apart. But recently we are back as friends but not so close yet. So I am going to take time before I say anything. But when asked about his girlfriend he says he doesn't love her he is just with her for the hell of it (but maybe he is saying tht so I won't feel bad. So I really don't knw). Guys are so confusing.So my main question is tht if I ask will it break the friendship we are beginning to have?When he told he wants to have sex cause he wanted to be my first?I am thinking of telling him that I love our friendship and I want to keep it but I was thinking and I want him to be my first and that we will just have it once. is the good enough. I want to have it cause I am sure. I just don't know how to come out and say it.
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
DON'T sleep with this guy. At least not yet.It's sweet, reallly touching, that you want to give this guy your virginity because you love him. But I don't think he loves you back all that much, and I doubt he's prepared to love anyone yet.We should all stay on good terms with our exes, but his terms seem to be *too* good. When he's not with you he's with her, when he's not with her he's with you--it's not fair to either of you.If you're determined to give your virginity to this guy, do it only after he's committed to you, exclusively, for a good while. Otherwise, if he pulls away afterward, it'll hurt--REALLY hurt--more than it should.
What Guys Said 1
ok bad bad bad, don't have sex with him so he can be your first, If you had sex before and just wanted a quick f*** then MAYBE, but it's your first, to some guy that doesn't care about you (he's only saying he wants to have sex with you JUST to have sex with you, nothing more...do you really want you're first time to be soooo...lame? ps. having sex one time USUALLY leads to more emotions...leading to more drama...leading to YOU getting hurt...not cool.
What Girls Said 5
i don't think you should have sex with this guy. you should do it with someone who's urs and urs only, someone you can trust and is in an exclusive relationship with. Giving up ur virginity, is like giving up sacred part of you and once it's gone...there's no turning back. Therefore you wouldn't want to give it up to this guy since you guys are no longer together. Don't you deserve better than this? ... another thing you should remember, is that, "you will never 4get ur 1st!" That guy sounds like he just wants to get in ur pants and nothing else, don't let him con you into getting to bed with him.Do the right thing and make the right choice!
personally, I woudnt loose my virginity over a one time thing! its a waste of time in your life even though your for sure! its like standing in line at a concert and then finally approaching the ticket booth to find out your ticket is fake! its not the same senerio but the point being its a waste of energy and use of your body for one nite with a guy temporarily in your life by all means wait for the nxt one it mite just be the one! just work on your self control for the time being!
Well, I personally think that if you broke up, and he has a girlfrend, that you should not have sex with him. It's wrong, and what would happen if you got pregnant? The baby wouldn't even have a father... But, that's just my opinion.
It is not wrong, nor is it right. She is over 18 so it is legal. Beyond that her personal moral code dictates right or wrong. Secondly, all babies have fathers. Those fathers may not be available too the mother or child, but they did exist. I don't have a big problem with occasional sex between friends, probably a more male attitude. I am more troubled by america's fear of everything sexual.
I don't think you should do it. You are no longer together and he has a girl friend. I would leave it and not tell him. It is not fair on his girl friend if you do. You wouldn't like to be cheated on so don't do it to someone else.The other reason not to go there is because it will ruin your friendship. You can't have sex with someone then carry things on as normal.You also still love him so I don't think you should do it for that reason because you will end up getting hurt because he may not want to get back with you and you may get your hopes up.You are still very young and have plenty of time to have your 1st time. I would wait until you meet someone else who is special and do it with them.
