I bought this product as I had tried waxing strips and decided to take a step up (I had had realised I could brave waxing - hurrah!)
I was really looking forward to using this product due to the good reputation that veet have on the market. So, when plugged in, I thought that the process would be really quick and easy.
How wrong I was. First things first, it took ages to warm up. Supposedly 20 minutes, that turned to about 40 to reach a reasonable temperature. Also, the wax did not apply properly even then, and it was really just a bit of a tacky mess. I decided to give it a bit longer, and it was smoother when it eventually warmed up properly. However, it still wasn't particularly "easy" to apply to be honest.
I also found that the wax did not really seem to "stick" properly to the leg, which meant that legs were really a bit patchy, as bits had done an excellent job whereas parts where the wax hadn't stuck as well had done next to nothing.
After going through the trauma of messing and reapplying over and over again, I ended up giving up and deciding not to bother. However where the wax had decided to stick, it had truly stuck, and was sooooooo difficult to get off. And even when you think that you've got it all - you find a little stubborn bit at the back of your leg! *eye roll*.
After the first failed attempt, I decided it might have been me with the incorrect technique after just using normal wax strips for so long. So I decided to give it another go. Still no luck. Even the 3rd time. I just ended up with half waxed pink gloopy legs....The finishing wipes weren't really much good either to be honest...
I can't remember exactly what this cost me, but I think it was somewhere in the £25 range. Probably the worse £25 spent. I literally have not used this since that second attempt, as it is just such an impossible product. Would not recommend at all - stick to shaving or normal wax strips!
When I bought these I was already using veet ready to use wax strips and before that shaving but shaving every day was too much hassle. I saw these were on offer at amazon so I bought them since I wanted to try another brand of hot wax I was using boots own brand before which I really liked but I wanted to see if this one was any good.
The wax takes 20 minutes to heat but I left it on for 60 as it didn't seem done then, I tested a bit on the inside of my arm to check it was the right temperature then I rolled it on my legs and the temperature was perfect and luckily just enough came out not a thick lot. When I applied the wax strip and pulled it off the majority of the hair came straight off just a few strays which can easily be tweezed out, I think the temperature helps the pores on the area the wax is applied to so the hair comes out easier.
Although this is still a bit painful, the ready to use wax strips were definately more painful as even though I heated them up with my hands it's hard to get them at the perfect temperature as when there too hot it's a sticky mess and when they're cold no hairs come out.
I must say these are hard to use even though I've been using them for a year, I just prefer to use the ready to use wax strips as there's less hassle heating the wax up which is time consuming but the results are worth it. I think if your looking for a hot wax lot and not the ready to use strips this is the one to go for.
- easier to use than other wax kits I've bought in the past
- cheaper than salon prices
- you can buy refills
- available at lots of places
- works well with my sensitive skin
- time consuming
- still takes me a while to do one leg even though I've been using this kit for a year
- not enough finishing wipes there's only 4 in a pack
- only 12 strips in a pack
- expensive for what you get
- can be a sticky mess
Like so many beauty products aimed at women, I think more time and money has gone on making this look appealing that making it a product that actually works.
Having plugged it in and waited the 20 minutes for the wax to warm up, I was disappointed to find the wax in a state similar to bright pink bluetack. I left it heating up to see if it would make any difference, and for me it just didn't reach a temperature capable of melting the wax. Perhaps my product was faulty, but looking at other reviews this seems to be a problem across the board. I was surprised that a product that simply can't deliver what it promises actually does come with a two-year guarantee - perhaps Veet is banking on people being too lazy to do anything about this shoddy product.
Before giving up completely I did try to use the wax (maybe it was me, I reasoned, surely you can't expect a relatively cheap product to glide on like a salon wax roll on) but it wasn't sticky enough to even transfer itself to my legs, which is probably a good thing as the wax can't be mixed with water and would've been a nightmare to get off.
Next time I'll go to the salon or invest in some wax strips - sure, they don't come in nice neat packaging or do anything fancy, but they are actually capable of hair removal. When Veet is perfectly capable of making wax you can warn up sufficiently just by rubbing a wax strip between your hands, it makes you wonder why they've made a fancy product filled with pink playdough that couldn't wax a molting cat in summer.
I bought this recently as there doesn't seem to be enough time in the day to do my normal shaving routine....oh my days!! It was horrendous!! The wax doesn't heat up properly in the time stated, I had to leave it about 40 minutes for it to even begin to soften. Upon using the kit I realised I would rather spend the time having my teeth pulled with no anaesthetic!! I was left with awful bruising to my legs and a very uncomfortable feeling for quite some time after! The wax is horrible sticky stuff that takes forever to wash off your skin! The result being.....give me my razor back anyday!
When I received my Veet Easy Wax Kit and opened the pack, I was greeted by an aesthetically pleasing pink and white applicator unit with a handy stand. It only took moments to get the wax pack into the unit and plugged in to start heating up. Now this was where the wait began.....
The instructions said to leave the wax to heat for 20 minutes but unfortunately, after that time, the wax was nowhere near ready to use. I had to leave the wax for a further 15-20 minutes before the wax would roll out of the applicator easily and evenly.
I thought I would test the wax out on my legs first and felt that it only took a couple of tries to have mastered the process. The wax is bright pink and that makes it easy to see where I had applied it and pulled the hairs away easily. I was able to use each fabric strip repeatedly and this meant I only used 2-3 strips per half leg so had plenty of fabric strips left over.
Unfortunately, I only managed to get one pack of the wax to do both half legs before I ran out of wax. I am unsure whether I was using too much of the wax or applying too thickly but in any event, I was a little disappointed at how quickly the product was used up.
The oil based wipes contained in the pack are handy and easily removed any last traces of wax.
Overall, I was impressed with the wax kit and will continue to buy refills for use. I hope to get the hang of the coverage so that I do not use up the refills as quickly in the future and therefore making the kit a more economical option.
Before I purchased the product from amazon I had never waxed before (apart from eyebrows) so I was a little sceptical. I had always shaved so to transition to waxing was different. I read loads of review before I bought and honestly everything negative I had read was true of the product so I was really disappointed in the end. Firstly, I will highlight that the product comes with so few wax strips that you can only really use the product once to do a good job before having to replace the strips. The Veet strips which they sell additional are a real rip off. I found they cost almost half the product again!! Instead I purchased some cheap 99p strips from amazon which do the same job and are much bigger. The actual wax heating device is really simple to use. You plug into a mains output and leave for a while to heat through thoroughly. The instruction say to heat for 15-30 minutes but realistically you need to leave the product heating with the full cartridge for atleast 45-60 minutes before you can even glide the roller ball top. Obviously though as the cartridge runs down it would take less time. Once you have heated the wax you need to glide in small areas against hair growth and then pat a strip on and pull. I made a huge mistake my first use. I was using on my legs and I had shaved 2 days before so my hairs were pretty short. The product says/claims that it picks up even short hairs. However, it doesn't!! I tried and tried and the strips came off clean each time. So, if you looking to purchase for this claim - don't bother it lies!!. The next time I used it on my underarms with longer hairs and it did work as expected the first time so I cannot fault the workings of the product. Veet sell different cartridges for other bodily areas. Underarms, Bikini etc. These cartridges have smaller roller heads but they contain the same wax regardless of the claim. For this reason anyone buying for say bikini waxing don't bothering wasting your money on the smaller cartridges unless you want to be really precise. Talking about the wax alone anyone who uses microwave wax will have a big shock as the Veet cartridge wax is bubblegum pink and really thin. It doesn't look or smell of wax whatsoever. It does however glide out really nice until the heating device cools. For this reason I had to keep reattaching it to the mains a good 2 times before I had removed all underarm hair. This is definitely a big design fault. overall I would say that it is a good starting device for someone unfamiliar to waxing but if I had known what I know from experience now I would opt for a microwave wax pot instead as this product isn't the best. It does have it goods points - easy to use, glides well, safe. But, it too had many bad points - expensive, needs reheating constantly, odd wax substances, not enough strips, takes ages to heat originally etc..
After receiving the product to test for free by Veet, I was really excited. I usually use the waxing strips and its a hit and miss every time. I got the roll on kit, the wax for legs, and the one for bikini and underarms. After warming up for 20 minutes (as per instructions), I was ready to wax! Unfortunately that wasn't the case....I had to wait 60 minutes until it was fully warm!
Once I got started, it was very easy to use, and left my legs smooth. Only downside for me was that I had to wait ages for the wax to warm up, and that I couldn't do bikini and underarms myself. My sister won't always agree to help in the future so I think I will have to stick to the salon for other areas. But for legs and arms, its brilliant.
I would recommend as it saves cash and time (once fully warmed), and still giving you that salon feeling.
I brought my roll on kit from superdrug at a price of £29.99 last week, it comes with:
-the main roll on unit which heats the wax
-the applicator to roll the wax onto the skin
-a 50ml roll on refill
-12 waxing strips
-4 after wax wipes
-a base to hold the roll on applicator
I was pleased with what you recieved in the kit as you can reuse waxing strips for same area etc.. and you can also buy refills for around £9.99
The first time i used it i was pretty pleased with the results, it took around 40minutes for the machine to heat up, which is not bad as salon roll on waxing systems take around 20 minutes to heat up to their maximum.
The wax rolled on smoothly and it wasnt too hot, although, i found that it cooled down quickly and if I didnt wax it off my skin as soon as possible then it would start to set and would be really hard to get off.
I was pleased with the overall results and in the end it did look of salon quality, although i would not recommend this for beginner waxers because of the quickness you need to get the wax off.
After spending years of shaving and trying razor after razor, I realised the only times I had got that strived after baby soft skin was after a visit to the salon for a waxing treatment. So, I decided to purchase the Veet Easywax Electrical Roll On Kit. I paid £29.99 and that included, the roll on applicator, a heating base unit, a 50ml wax refill, 12 waxing strips, 4 aftercare wipes and an instruction leaflet.
I couldn't wait to try it out and plugged in the unit as soon as I got home and waited the 20 minutes as stated in the instruction leaflet for the wax to warm up. After 20 mins I tested the wax on a piece of cardboard, and it was nowhere near ready! The wax was thick and sticky, so I left it another 10 minutes, and another 10 minutes. Finally, almost an hour later the wax looked ready to use.
The easy grip rubber on the side of the roll on applicator made the unit very easy and comfortable to hold and the wax glided onto my legs smoothly. I smoothed down one of the provided waxing strips and held my breath as I pulled the strip off in the direction of hair growth. Although most of the wax came away with the strip, there were still sticky patches on my legs and only a couple of hairs had been removed. I tried again another 3 times before finally giving up as my legs were covered in patchy, sticky wax and I was still no closer to having that baby soft skin I thought this system would provide.
All in all, a very expensive disappointed. I will most definitely be sticking to salon waxing and my trusty old razor from now on.
Lots and lots of dark hair make summer legs the bane of my life. Shaving gives me plenty of ingrowns and so I always wax. Veet have been my go to for wax over the years, and when the easy wax was on offer at boots I couldn't stop myself from picking it up.
The kit cost me £25 and contained
- a self heating device with cap
- 50ml roll on wax refill for legs and arms (you can re-purchase these at a later date)
- 25ml roll on wax refil for bikini line and underarms (you can re-purchase these at a later date)
- 12 non-woven strips (you can repurchase these too)
- a base to hold the device
- an electrical cable
- full instructions
To use you simply click the wax refill into the device, plug in and leave in the device to warm up for 20 minutes then you simply roll the wax on to the area you wish to remove the hair from in the direction the hair grows i.e knee to ankle, take a strip and press down firmly and rub the strip repeatedly then quickly remove the strip from the area in one swift movement. I'd like to tell you that it is pain free but i'd only be lying to you and myself but the the beauty of at home waxing is that you don't have to pretend that you are brave and can take breaks should you feel the need unlike at the salon. The wax has been formulated using the same ingrediants as salon wax, so there is no reason why the results shouldn't be as good.
To finish up simply use one of the provided wipes to remove any excess wax, I also like to apply a quick layer of Aloe Vera gel too as it soothes and cools the legs. I tried this a good few weeks ago and found the results to last me nearly a fortnight beforeI felt the need to slap on some Veet Cream which is good going for me as I normally shave my legs every second day or twice a week if using a hair removal cream....what can I say i'm from a very hairy gene pool haha!
As a Bzzagent I often get sent products for free to try and test in return for my feedback, I think its really fun and have received all kinds of things to try. When I was asked to try the new Veet EasyWax Electrical Roll On Kit I was over the moon, I usually just shave my legs but occasionally I wax too using wax strips, so I couldn't wait to try this out and hoped it would be the miracle hair removal product I had been looking for.
The new Veet EasyWax electronic roll on kit is "an innovative self - heating wax system with roll - on applicator". Veet claim that as the ingredients used in the wax is the same as those used in waxing salons it will give "salon results at home". It will remove "hair from the root at first application" leaving skin smooth for up to 4 weeks. It is suitable for all skin types (even sensitive) and is effective on hair as short as 2mm.
Veets Easy Wax Elecrical Roll On Kit comes in a pink box with the brand and logo displayed on the front along with a cut out "window" so the actual product can be seen inside. General information is given on the back and sides including quick instructions for use, Precautions and ingredients.
The Veet Easywax Kit contains the following items:
* A self heating device and its cap
* A 50ml roll on wax refill, specially designed for legs and arms
* 12 non woven strips
* 4 post depilatory wipes
* A base to hold the device
* An electrical cable
* An instruction leaflet
The self heating device is approx 19cm in height, 18.2cm in width and 7.2cm in depth. There is an empty compartment on the top where the wax refill cartridge should be placed. The device is mostly white in colour with pink patches at the sides. It is made of rather thin plastic and its overall appearance is rather cheap looking. I don't think it would take much to damage the plastic, if it was dropped I can imagine the plastic would easily crack. Still, it is lightweight and comfortable to hold during use, it fits easily into the palm of the hand.
The Kit includes one refill cartridge for legs and arms, additional refill cartridges can be purchased separately. The cartridge fits easily into the compartment in the device, it has a roller on top which is used to dispense the wax. Veet claim the cartridge will last up to 4 waxing sessions. Having used the device twice (on my legs) I can confirm that there does seem to be some wax left in my cartridge, but it is impossible to tell exactly how much. Cartridges for underarms and Bikini area can also be purchased, I also received one of these free but have not used it so cannot comment on it's effectiveness.
The enclosed instruction leaflet gives easy to understand simple instructions on how to set up the kit. Set up steps are as followed:
1) Insert a Veet refill into the device
2) Plug the electrical cable into the device socket (a red light will illuminate to show the device is heating)
3) Place the device on its base
4) Wait 20 minutes for the wax to heat, after 20 minutes the product is ready to use.
I actually first used this kit months ago and unfortunetly didn't get great results so ended up putting it away and kind of forgot about it. As we recently moved house I re - discovered it and decided to give it another go. I let my leg hair grow until they were approx 2mm as Veet advise, then yesterday I set the device up and got to work.
I set the device up at instructed above, I set an alarm on my phone for 20 minutes and then left the product to heat up. On my return I discovered that the device was not ready as the wax had not fully melted, it was another twenty minutes before the device was ready for use. The exact same thing had happened on my first try of the product so clearly it doesn't take 20 minutes, it more like 40 minutes.
Once the device was fully heated I was able to get started, following the instructions Veet provided. I began by rolling the device on my leg ( from knee to ankle) the pink wax was dispensed easily, it felt nice and warm on my leg. The roller glided easily over the skin dispensing the pink wax efficiently and evenly, it felt nice and warm on my skin. I placed a strip over the wax, rubbed the strip repeatedly before holding the skin taut and pulling the strip off in one quick swift motion (in the direction of the hair growth). Having had my legs waxed before I was expecting this to be a little painful, whilst I didn't exactly enjoy the experience it wasn't too bad either.
I continued with the waxing session but was left feeling a little disheartened, my legs were mostly smooth but there were quite a few hairs left behind. Veet state that the same area cannot be waxed more than once, so I had no option but to shave them later that day, which I felt kind of defeated the purpose of waxing them in the first place.
As with any wax kit, the Veet device did leave plenty of sticky pink wax bits on my legs. I used the post depilatory wipes to remove this, but it did take some rubbing for the wax to be completely removed from the skin. I found the wipes rather unpleasant to use, they were really greasy and left my skin feeling horrible, I needed to wash my legs thoroughly with shower gel afterwards.
After the waxing session my legs were a little red but this soon went down and within a few hours they were back to looking normal again albeit with quite a few stray hairs! Thankfully I didn't experience any unwanted side effects from using the waxing kit, nor did it irritate my skin.
The device needs to be left to cool down before it can be put away, I left it for an hour or so. I did discover that the device felt a little sticky, I wanted to wipe it over with a baby wipe before putting it back in the box but Veet clearly state in the instructions "Never use water, the Veet finish wipes or any other liquid to clean the device and roller head". How do you clean it then? " if necessary you can clean the roller head using the back of a used strip", this doesn't work very well though, so my device is left rather sticky.
Overall I was not overly impressed with Veets EasyWax electrical roll on kit, I found it a bit of a faff and overly time consuming. There was still hair left on my legs after my waxing session and I had to shave this of later, which I felt defeated the purpose of waxing in the first place. However, my legs do feel nice and smooth but I think am going to have to continue shaving the bits the wax missed with a razor.
If you spend huge amount of money getting your legs professionally waxed then I would recommend giving Veets Electrical Roll on Kit a go, perhaps if you persist with it it may end up saving you some money. However, if like me you generally shave your legs with a razor and just occasionally wax then I wouldn't recommend you bother purchasing one.
I have struggled with a star rating for this one, I am going to have to give a rather disappointing two stars.

Back on to the subject of saving money instead of visiting a salon for my waxing I started doing it at home. I've been waxing at home for over a year now and it has saved me a lot of money. Normally I would go to a beauty salon and have a full leg wax (£25) bikini (£10) arms (£16). I still have my eyebrows shaped at the salon though!
Veet Easy Wax:
'Formulated with the same ingredients as the waxes used in waxing salons, Veet wax removes hair from the root at first application, and is effective on hair as short as 2mm. It is specially formulated with natural beeswax for all skin types including sensitive. Skin remains impeccably smooth for up to 4 weeks!'
My Findings:
As I have said I started waxing at home to save some money I started getting the ready to use wax stripes which were ok, however hot wax works so much nicer. When in my local Superdrug around a month a go now I saw this Veet Easy Wax System on offer for only £14.95 half price its normal value. As it looked interesting and I had £10 of beauty points stacked up I decided to make the purchase.
As it had been a round 4/5 weeks since the last time I waxed I got home and used it straight away. In the box you get -
One wax cartridge (you can also purchase different sized ones for smaller areas)
Four Perfect Finish Wipes - these are to use after waxing
12 Blank waxing stripes
One heat device with mains cord
2 year guarantee
One instruction leaflet
Before I wax I exfoliate the areas I'm about to wax this will lift up all the hairs ready and give you a much better wax. As I'm about to rip my hairs out I always opt for a good nourishing exfoliater like Superdrug's Vitamin E body scrub. I dry my legs as normal but don't use any moisturiser after as this could re-act to the waxing.To start with you need to place the wax cartridge in the heat device plugging it in and waiting 20 minutes for the wax to heat ready for use. I personally found it took longer than the suggested 20 minutes and for the wax to be ready took pretty much double the time. As I tried to use it after 20 minutes but it didn't come out of the device smoothly and I needed a lot of force.
So I put it back in its stand and waited a bit long and when it had been on 35 minutes it had warmed up and I was able to smooth it over my legs with ease. As it has a roller at the end of the cartridge it makes it nice and easy to roll over the area I want waxing. As I needed to leave it to heat longer than the time instructed it was still at a comfortable level to use.
If you haven't waxed before the way you need to apply the wax is in the direction of the hair growth. Place the roller glide on the skin and glide down, enough for the wax stripe to cover. Once the wax is on your leg immediately place the wax strip over the layer of wax. Rub the strip in the direction of the hair growth so it has taken hold of the wax.
Then! Holding the bottom of the wax strip, pull quickly in one swift motion against the direction of the hair growth. I personally don't find waxing painful in anyway but some of my friends find it very uncomfortable. Holding your skin taut awhile waxing can help avoid the discomforting. Remember the faster you remove the strip the more effect it will be.
Once I pulled my first strip off I noticed how well it removed hairs, even the smaller/shorter hairs. You don't get many wax strips in this pack however you can use one strip several times before needing to use another. The strips are not washable and have to be binned once used. You can purchase more, or to save on the pennies make your own.
It states the refill is sufficient for up to 4 wax sessions (of both half legs) now this is the second time I have used this. I have done full legs, arms and bikini and I still have just over half a cartridge left. As I have been waxing for many years now my hairs come back light and some patches no hair at all. If only I was hair free apart from my head and eyebrows I would be one happy girl!
However the reason behind why I started waxing was that shaving doesn't suit me at all; no matter where I shave I would have a horrid rash. Even hair removing cream didn't suit my skin and would sting for ages after use. With waxing I have no irritation what so ever and I only need to do this once every 4 to 6 weeks.
This Veet system has been the easiest hot wax I have ever used, it does take longer to heat than stated but once it has heated it remains at that level so you're able to just carry on and wax away. The cartridge stays firmly in it holder which is easy to hold a good size so you're able to remain a good grip. You also have a stand for it so you can place it back in its stand while ripping the wax strip off.
They have pretty much covered all angles here, as you can purchase a cartridge for legs and arm waxing or one for smaller areas so the roller on the top of the cartridge is smaller. I personally found it easy to carry out all my waxing with the normally sized one. But if you're not all that confident when waxing it would be a good idea to purchase the smaller cartridge for you mini areas.
When smoothing the wax over my legs I noticed that you did have to press down firmly so you are able to get the wax to coat your skin. The wax is standard consistency and leaves a good layer over the skin coating the smallest of hairs. This really has been one of the best waxing kits I have ever used and I like how you can purchase the refills too.
For waxing the fronts of your legs and all your arms I found nice and easy but waxing the backs of my legs I find rather tricky. Being disabled bending my knee can be really painful so this is where my partner comes in and he waxes the back of my legs for me. (He really is wonderful!) Joe, my partner also found the waxing system easy to use.
For me one of the kinks in this would be its short mains cable as this needs to be plug in at all time while using this device. You have to sit near a power outlet and the cord is only about one arms length so a longer cord on this would have been much better.
When you have finished waxing you just un-plug the device and let it cool. Get one of your finishing wipes (only four given) and rub it over the areas you have just waxed. You will be surprised just how well this covers as it is very oily you're able to do your arms, legs and bikini with just one wipe. This will remove any excess wax and soothe your waxed bits. The fragrance of the wipes is a nice clean feminine scent.
As I have been waxing at home for a little bit now one of my must haves when waxing is a product called After Wax. If you have sensitive skin this cream is great for calming the skin after a wax and soothe any redness. (have to purchase it separately though)
Price and Availability:
I purchased mine at half price over four weeks a go now from Superdrug and it is still at half price! Each pack already comes with a wax cartridge too. Only down side to this pack is that you only get 12 non-woven strips, you can use each one a few times each but you really need to get a pack of blank strips too good thing they are only cheap! Remember you don't have to purchase the Veet ones as any blank ones will work.
You can also purchase the after wax wipes, again you don't have to use Veet ones, any calming ones will do.
I have to say I have been really impressed with this hot wax system from Veet, at full price of £30.00 you may think it pricey but for me it has saved me a lot of money. As a wax session for me at the salon will cost me £51.00 each time.
As I had £10.00 of points on my Superdrug beauty card I paid £4.95 for this! A complete steal, as so far I have now saved £97.05. If you can get this on offer of the half price £14.95 I would fully recommend it even at full price I would still recommend this product.
Four out of five stars from me - minus a star as they should really put a whole pack of strips in.
Thank you for reading.

I got this product from a website called bzzagent to try out and review. Usually for hair removal I rely on shaving, it's quick, easy and mostly painless and as I'm not over concerned with removing hair from my legs, cheaper too! I had my legs waved professionally before going on holiday a few years ago and was very disappointed with the results as my leg and arm hair is very light and fine, so there were a lot of hairs that didn't get waxed! When I got this kit through I was quite excited because I had 2 weeks off on holiday from work so I had the time to pamper myself so what's better to kick start a session than waxing?
So a big box arrived with my kit inside which included:
A self heating device and its cap
A 50ml roll on wax refill
12 strips
4 post waxing wipes
A base to hold the device
An electrical cable
Quite a lot in such a small box! I took it all out to examine it and had quite the time of it trying to fit it all back in which made me worry a little bit about storing it, as I don't have a lot of space for my products and try to fit them all on my shelves! The device itself is very pretty, it's a very girly hot pink colour and is perfectly shaped to fit into your hand with rubber shaping at the side for easy grip. To set it up, it was as simple as setting the device in its base and plugging it in. The instructions were very useful as it gave the user step by step actions on how to successfully wax your legs and different techniques.
To prepare for waxing I exfoliated my legs and had baby powder at hand to help the wax stick to the hair, so I excitedly went into my room and set up my kit for ultimate de-hair time! From the instructions, it says that it can take up to 20 minutes for the wax to reach the optimum temperature suitable for waxing and to have a piece of paper at hand to roll the applicator across it to check that the wax is easily and evenly spreading. After 20 minutes I was surprised to find that the wax wasn't really at all and the roller was still stiff, and after 50 minutes (2 episodes of scrubs!) the wax was finally ready and spreading evenly across the paper!
I rolled the wax onto a small area of my leg and the wax did feel quite nice as it wasn't so hot that it burned the skin or too cold that it was sticky. The strip stuck easily onto the wax and, by instruction I rubbed downwards in the direction of the hair growth and quickly pulled the strip against the direction of hair growth as close to the skin as I could. Feeling quite pleased with myself that I managed to remove all the wax I looked closely to find that I had removed all of the wax and only around 4 or 5 hairs. After trying this all over my lower leg I actually found that I had probably removed about 30% of my leg hair and after waxing my legs were patchy and no amount of going over areas was helping. Eventually I just gave up, went over my legs with the wipes which smell really nice and shaved them instead.
In conclusion, I really think that this product is a complete waste of money. I had a little faith when I received it as I've had some positive experiences with the ready wax strips for my eye brows and my bikini line so I was quite excited to use the easy wax applicator but unfortunately this experience wasn't entirely positive! I found that it took far too long to heat up and also to cool down which is a total pain (excuse the pun) if you have a busy lifestyle like mine. The quality of the product though did not let Veet down as the wax smells lovely and the pre-wax wipes are very effective for getting off excess wax and soothing the skin.
I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone, I feel that Veet need to take this product back to the drawing board! From research the price of this product varies from £29.99 from Superdrug and £14.99 from Boots (both prices sourced from www.superdrug.com and www.boots.com) and I genuinely feel that for the time consumed using the product and the quality of the results, it's not worth paying over £6.
A low mess wax kit that amateurs can use at home.
The time it says to heat up is rubbish, it takes nearly 45 minutes to get the wax hot enough to roll evenly. The wax cart comes in two sorts, for sensitive areas like armpits and bikini line and one for general areas like legs. The wax is a delightful bright pink colour so it comes up if you do get it on a surface.
The gadget does allow the wax to roll on nicely and evenly, it works perfectly at getting rid of the unwanted hair. The biggest issue I had was being able to reach certain places which this still does not help with but with help of a friend this worked perfectly.
It may say that the gadget keeps its heat but the wax does cool down and rolling starts to become harder towards the end, especially if waxing a large area like legs. It does leave your waxed area hair free for close to 4 weeks and if done with help can leave a professional feel.
The biggest issue I found was that the wax that didn't come over with the strip dried onto my leg and had to be painfully picked off.
A while ago I joined Bzz Agent and since then have tried a variety of different products, one I recently received to test was the Veet Easy Wax Electrical Roll on Kit. Now I'm not a massive fan of waxing my legs as I find it painful, and tend to just shave them, however I thought as I had received the product for free I would give it a try and may even be converted.
The Veet Easy Wax Electrical Roll on Kit comes in a pink box, it has the Veet logo at the top in the centre of the box with the name of it just underneath, there are also a few other facts about the product written below this. On the right hand part of the box part of the front of the box has been cut away allowing you to see the kit inside.
The back and sides of the box are taken up with quite a lot of product information including facts about the product, what the kit includes and precautions, inside the box is a leaflet containing the directions of use and more detailed information reflecting what was written on the packaging. Inside the box is a clear plastic tray which contains all parts of the Veet Electrical Roll on Kit.
What's in the Kit
With the Veet Easy Wax Electrical Roll on Kit you receive everything you could need to successfully wax your legs. The kit includes
* A self heating device and cap
* a 50ml roll on wax refill cartridge (designed for arms and legs)
* 12 non woven strips
* 4 wipes (to remove sticky residue)
* A base to hold the device
* An electrical cable
With this kit you only received a cartridge suitable for waxing your arms and legs, however you can get 1 other cartridge which is sold separately, this has a smaller roll on head and is specifically designed for bikini lines and under arms.
The Roll on Kit Appearance
The main device of the roll on kit is rectangle shapes with slightly curved sides making it easy to grip, there are also pink rubbery grips on the side of the device, again making it easier to hold.
In the centre of the device is the Veet logo and on the top is a bright pink plastic cap. The whole devise sits in a white plastic oval shape base, this allows the devise to be stood up whilst you are waiting for the wax to heat, there is a small hole for the electrical cable to be pushed into on the side of the devise which allows the wax to be heated up when plugged in.
The cartridge does not come inside the device, this is simply a white rectangle shape with a roller on one end, you simply push this into the device with the roller pointing out of it. There is a small red light on the front which when plugged in shows you that the wax is heating up, however there was no light to show when the heating process has finished, you have to time this yourself.
Product Information
Veet Easy Wax Electrical Roll on Kit is said to give you salon results in your own home, it is also described as simple and easy to use, so I was sure that even I could get this product to work despite my lack of experience when it comes to waxing.
The information on the packaging states that this is an "innovative self heating wax system with a roll on applicator", the ingredients in the wax are the same as those used in a salon.
The wax used by Veet is said to remove the hair from the root at first application and is effective on hairs as short as 2mm. The wax is formulated with natural beeswax, this is suitable for all skin types including people with sensitive skin.
Once you have waxed with Veet is promises to keep your skin smooth for up to 4 weeks, obviously this can vary a little from person to person. The roller ensures clean and even application, and also applies thin layers of wax giving total coverage so you do not end up with some thick areas of wax and then some areas with nothing on at all. After reading all of the product information I was sure that even I could successfully use this product and achieve good results on my legs.
Directions for Use
When it comes to using the Kit the instructions are quite simple, you simply put the cartridge into the devise and then stand the whole thing in the base and plug it in, you then leave it for 20 minutes to heat the wax up, after 20 minutes you can test the wax, if it does not apply smoothly then you can leave it to heat up a little longer.
Once the wax is ready you then apply the wax by rolling the device down your arm or leg in the direction of the hair (knee to ankle) you need to check the angle of the roller against the skin is correct to ensure smooth application.
Once the wax is applied you then immediately apply a strip over the wax leaving a 1cm gap at the bottom for you to hold, you then rub over the strip in the direction of the hair a few time and then in one swift and quick movement pull the strip back on itself against the hair growth, pulling your skin taught will decrease any discomfort.
Once finished you can then remove one of the wipes from the packet to remove any wax residue, these wipes are very greasy and quite messy, but they do remove the wax quickly and easily, this cannot be rinsed off with water. The faster the strip is remove the more effective they are.
As with most products Veet Easy Wax Electrical Roll on Kit does come with quite a long list of precautions, some of these include
* Only suitable for use on the legs, arms, underarms and bikini line (in the case of this particular one only arms and legs) you should not use the wax on any other part of your body.
* Do not use on varicose veins, moles, scars, broken, irritated or sunburned skin.
* Do not use on skin irritated by other waxes in the past.
* Check before use with your doctor if you are on any medication that can effect the skin or your suffer from any skin disorder.
* Not suitable for diabetics, elderly people or people with oral retinoids.
* After waxing it is recommended your wait 34 hours before applying antiperspirant.
* Test wax for warmth and reactions on a small area before use.
* Keep out of reach of children.
There are quite a few other precautions on the packaging, however there really were too many to list, and a lot of them are common sense.
Price and Availability
As I have mentioned I received my Veet Easy Wax Electrical Roll on Kit free as a Bzz Agent, however I have since seen this product available in a variety of shops such as Boots and Superdrug, Boots sell this product for £14.99 whereas Superdrug sell it for £29.99, personally I think the top price is a bit on the expensive side, however if you shop around it can be purchased for a reasonable price.
My Opinion
I decided to give my Veet Easy Wax Electrical Roll on Kit a go before I went racing at Newmarket racecourse. I read the instructions thoroughly and followed them to the letter, I was a bit worried about how much it would hurt as it is the pain that puts me off waxing.
I tried the wax on one area of my leg and found that despite using this particular kit waxing really does hurt, when I examined the area I had just waxed I was disappointed to find that it hadn't worked at all, it had remove 1 or 2 hairs but most of the hair was still in place and it hadn't worked at all. I decided to give the devise another try and applied some more wax to another area of my leg, I followed the same process and was disappointed to find that yet again it hadn't worked very well, a couple of hairs had been removed but the majority had not.
I decided to give up with it and went back to shaving my legs, I was extremely disappointed that despite following the instructions exactly the wax did not work, the following day I was even more surprised to find that the wax had left a red mark on my leg liked it had skinned it, I know I do not have a lot of experience when it comes to waxing my legs but I followed the instructions exactly and allowed the wax to heat up enough and despite this the only thing it seemed to remove was skin, the hairs were still there.
Needless to say I will not be using the product again, I think this is very over priced, I did think that Boots had it more reasonably priced but after the problems I have had with this no money is worth spending on this product. I will not be using this product again and I definitely would not recommend it, I shall be sticking to shaving my legs from now on.

Readers know errors are a fact of newspaper life, and business-press readers are no different.
Errors are to be regretted, of course. To the reporters and subjects involved, they're no laughing matter. But, to the rest of us, let's face it, they're basically a nonevent, right? We expect them. We understand. I usually don't read them, except for their Onion-esque qualities:
An article in Business Day on Friday about favorite gadgets of executives referred incorrectly to the video game Gran Turismo 5. It has not yet been released, and thus is not a best-selling game.
That would follow logically, yes. Anything else?
The article also referred imprecisely to the game Halo 3. It is the first game in the Halo series designed for the Xbox 360; the earlier games, though playable on the Xbox 360, were designed for the original Xbox.
Ah. Thanks.
The chip in the Xbox 360 also was misidentified. It has a Xenon chip, not a Cell processor.
Hey! Stop that!
And the article also misstated the price of the Sony PlayStation 3. The PlayStation 3 starts at $399, not $299.
Finally, the reporter who wrote the article has not been incinerated by the new death-ray feature of the PlayStation 3; there is no such feature. He was in fact digitized by Apple's Transmogrifier VII and fed into Gran Turismo 5,where he was tragically struck and killed by a virtual garbage truck.
Okay, we all have bad days.
But there are corrections, and then there are corrections. Some errors and the news organization's response can point to larger problems.
A month ago, The Wall Street Journal ran a page-one story that said Merrill Lynch & Co. had engaged in off-balance sheet deals with hedge funds designed to hide mortgage losses, or delay their recognition.
"Deals with Hedge Funds May Be Helping Merrill Delay Mortgage Losses," read the headline.
The story said the deals—plural—are "likely" to be "examined" by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
A summary box said the investment bank has been "off-loading" some of its mortgage-related assets to hedge funds. The story raised a parallel to Enron Corp., one of the worst criminal white-collar fraud cases in U.S. history, and said:
At issue with any hedge-fund deals is whether there was an attempt by Merrill to sweep problems under the rug through private transactions kept out of view from investors.
This raises the temperature, as we'll see below.
Last week, the paper ran a 120-word correction on page A-2 that said that, in fact, there were no deals, or any that it could document. Merrill proposed a—singular—deal that matched the original story's description but never consummated it. The proposed deal was stopped after Merrill's own finance department found it didn't meet accounting rules, the correction says.
In attempting to meet its obligation to deliver reliable information of significance to its readers, the Journal, in my view, failed twice—first with the error, and then by publishing a correction that was inadequate to the scale of the mistake.
So, before we close the book on this one, it's important that the Journal doesn't fail a third time by drawing the wrong lessons from the episode.
A couple of thoughts on the story itself:
This was a high-risk, investigative story about a complex subject involving an important Wall Street player. As a general matter, these stories are to be encouraged. The story itself, if it had held up, was reasonably important and interesting. On a scale of one to ten, it was about a seven, and, so, worth taking some risk.
If Merrill had been hiding its mortgage risk through off-balance sheet deals, that would be important to its investors, but for the rest of us, too, since the deal would raise the question of how many of these deals Merrill had done, whether other banks had done the same, and whether the bottom of the mortgage crisis was deeper than even pessimists had thought.
Also, it should be said, the Journal story breaks the news that Merrill was in fact shopping such deals with hedge funds.
Why only a seven, then? To me, the likelihood that the practice (even if Merrill had completed the deal) was widespread seems low. More likely, the story is fighting the last war, the Enron scandal. Plus, in the end, this is an accounting story that, even if it were true, aimed at the margins of the crisis. We are learning that the predatory practices and boiler-room mortgage operations that could impoverish hundreds of thousands of middle- to lower-middle-income strivers—many of whom will lose homes they already owned before letting mortgage snakes in the door—is largely a creation of Wall Street. The subprime story is bad enough, all by itself.

This was posted on 02/22/2011 and was filed in Tips And Tricks, How-Tos | (63 Comments)
YouTube's new iFrame player is a nice refresh to the ugly embed code that we have been using, but if you are placing it on pages with content that overlaps or overlays on each other or uses things like lightbox, you may notice that the videos appear on top of content. It's very easy to fix the issue when we use the standard embed code by simply adding a paramater to the code itself. With this new code, we simply don't have the ability to edit the code directly, but the YouTube team has made it easy for us to control this.
Default Embed Code:
Modified Embed Code:
To fix this, we simply add a small snippet to the end of the URL to let the page know that we want it to add these paramaters. Add "?wmode=opaque" to the end of the URL.
Hope this helps someone - took me a while to find it. Enjoy!
Update: If this doesn't seem to work in Chrome, try wmode=transparent instead of wmode=opaque!
Update 2: Automate This With jQuery!
A user posted a jQuery code snippet in the comments that allows us to dynamically make this change! I have not tested this personally, but it looks like it should work fine - jQuery is required for this to work and I reccomend posting this in a $(document).ready(); function or at the bottom of your page.
var ifr_source = $(this).attr('src');
var wmode = "?wmode=transparent";
This code will automatically apply itself to EVERY iframe element - so if you use iframes frequently ( Facebook Like Buttons, anyone? ), you may want to use jQuery to check to see where the URL is coming from. This is a basic snippet posted to get you started that will take every iframe on the page and adds '?wmode=transparent' to the end of it - it's quick and easy!
Update Again: This code snippet will check to see if there is already a query string present - if so, it will simply append the new string and value pair.
var ifr_source = $(this).attr('src');
var wmode = "wmode=transparent";
if(ifr_source.indexOf('?') != -1) $(this).attr('src',ifr_source+'&'+wmode);
else $(this).attr('src',ifr_source+'?'+wmode);
Update To That: If you want to place our wmode parameter to the beginning of the query string, we can do something like the following:
var ifr_source = $(this).attr('src');
var wmode = "wmode=transparent";
if(ifr_source.indexOf('?') != -1) {
var getQString = ifr_source.split('?');
var oldString = getQString[1];
var newString = getQString[0];
else $(this).attr('src',ifr_source+'?'+wmode);
(Thanks to Michael O for perfecting that last snippet.
Update 3: Concatenating With An Existing String
As one of my readers points out, some of your URLs will already have a query string attached. As an example:
If you were to attach "?wmode=opaque," it probably would not work. To get around this, simply use an & instead of a ? to add on to what we would call the query string.

OMG!!! Simply amazing. U know what, google ranking is not good enough yet. This should be the first page first result! Awesome! I spent almost 2 hours for this and finally! this! You rock \m/
GPomar on 06/29/2012:
Hey all, it's not the iframe tag that renders on a high z-index, it's flash. Flash doesn't care about the iFrame, it just wants to be on top. The wmode=opaque adhere's the flash object to the page, thus "fixing" the z-index issue... just 2 cents worth :)
Daniel Miller on 06/20/2012:
Just what I was looking for, thank you!

var getQString = ifr_source.split('?');

Axel on 06/05/2012:
Thanx a lot !!!!!! :)
I got mad for 12 hours, trying to understand why Chrome displayed this f*** Youtube iframe embed above everything, whereas the div containing the iframe and the iframe itself were stylesheet and inline hidden.
I still don't understand why Chrome displayed it, but your tip solves the problem, so I can now focus back on the website design instead of this ugly Chrome's bug.
Have a nice day !

Jon Daley on 04/26/2012:
I was adding the wmode parameter manually, and it still wasn't working. I finally figured out that it was tinyMCE/Wordpress that didn't count wmode as a valid parameter and was removing it. Argh.
But, the jQuery solution works. I thought I was trying to save time, by just doing it on the one problem video and then switch to javascript later...
Hopefully this method will continue to work in later/more broken versions of IE. Each new version has new ways of breaking the old broken behavior...

Hey webwitch you have the exact right idea with that. Sorry I didn't see your question in time!

I have now answered my own question - simply add an ampersand symbol:
<iframe width="320" height="256" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5ANcspdYh_U?rel=0&wmode=transparent" frameborder="0"></iframe>
webwitch on 12/13/2011:
Thanks for this code. I would also like to put in the code to not show suggested videos. It's ?rel=0 but I am not sure where to put it in the code as it negates the ?wmode=opaque.
Any ideas? Thanks

James on 08/31/2011:
I'm really pleased some people have found a solution that works for them, but I can't get this working at all.
I'm running it as an include from php, but it's making no difference. I've tried different variations on all of the above snippets, but I'm seeing no change.
Am I meant to be doing it differently? I'm not a genius when it comes to JS, so if anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be so grateful!
The code I'm using is copied directly from Michael O's page - see below:
$(document).ready(function() {
var ifr_source = $(this).attr('src');
var wmode = "wmode=transparent";
if(ifr_source.indexOf('?') != -1) {
var getQString = ifr_source.split('?');
var oldString = getQString[1];
var newString = getQString[0];
else $(this).attr('src',ifr_source+'?'+wmode);
Any help would be great! Thanks in advance!

Dude, thanks man. Finally some code that works!
Miokey on 08/19/2011:
My search has ended. Thank you for this valuable tip!!
lougie on 08/09/2011:
Thanks man!!! it took hours for me to search for a solution! great!
Sam Adodra on 08/06/2011:
Excellent. This solution worked for me. I tried to many different websites and it was such a simple solution in the end, one line of code. Thanks so much.
Michael O on 07/15/2011:
The code i have written on http://manual.contentmaker.dk/iframe/
is working just fine on IE8, IE9, Firefox and Chrome, and you don't have to link back to my site, i'm just happy for your help finding a solution :-)
maxisawesome on 07/15/2011:
Good catch - did you end up finding a 100% working solution? I'll post the updated code here and link back to your site.
Michael O on 07/15/2011:
I found out what why it didn't work. In your examble, you use ifr_source whatever there is a querystring or not. If i add: var newString = getQString[0]; and use this in the case where there is a querystring, then it is working. In your examble, it is adding the hd=1 to the end, but it is not removing it from the start. I have been writing the code here: http://manual.contentmaker.dk/iframe/
maxisawesome on 07/14/2011:
Hey - make sure you copy+paste it exactly. The modified code has a variable change. Working fine for me.
Michael O on 07/14/2011:
Sorry to say, but it is not working :-(
Firebug reports this:
ifr_source is undefined
if(ifr_source.indexOf('?') != -1) {
maxisawesome on 07/14/2011:
Try that!
Michael O on 07/14/2011:
The last update don't seem to work. As far as i know, the wmode has to be the first value, and in your examble it seems to be added at the end of the existing values?
maxisawesome on 07/14/2011:
Hey - check the update I just made. Should run the check for you.
Michael O on 07/14/2011:
Very nice tip, but it wont work if it is an HD video or some other options are included.
Ex: www.youtube.com/embed/lZqrG1bdGtg?hd=1&rel=0
Is there a way to modify the jquery to take care of this issue?
maxisawesome on 06/30/2011:
Hey, if it does not work in chrome try using 'wmode=transparent' instead.
Russ on 06/21/2011:
Thanks, however this does not appear to fix the problem in Chrome, any ideas?
maxisawesome on 05/28/2011:
Jayeast - Thank You! I'll add this to the post. Looks like it should work like a champ.
Jayeast on 05/27/2011:
for jQuery, find all iframe movies and modifies src attribute.
var ifr_source = $(this).attr('src');
var wmode = "?wmode=transparent";
German on 05/17/2011:
Awsome and Simple!
Cool, tnx!
maxisawesome on 05/10/2011:
I'm glad this post has helped so many people out with this issue!
Bobby Digital on 05/10/2011:
Thanks for this post! I've already wasted a whole night trying to fix this issue through CSS and it just was not working. Thanks for a much simpler fix.
Michaelangelo Moran on 03/20/2011:
Oh man, dude, thank you so much, i've been researching up the ying yang for this solution, you're a life saver... thank you again
maxisawesome on 03/08/2011:
No problem. Glad to help!
Favio on 03/08/2011:
Excellent tip!! I was looking for a solution to this issue, thanks!!

SECRETARY OF STATE--ELECTIONS--DISTRICTS--BOUNDARIES--LEGISLATORS--REDISTRICTING--Boundaries for Election for Unexpired Term of Newly Redistricted Legislative District
When the boundaries of a legislative district for the Office of State Senate have been changed by redistricting, a special election for the remainder of the existing senate term should be conducted in the newly redistricted senate district. Candidates for that election must be residents of the new district as required by RCW 42.04.020.
* * * * * * * * * *
June 29, 1992
The HonorableRalph MunroSecretary of StatePost Office Box 40220Olympia, Washington 98504-0220
Cite as: AGO 1992 No. 12
Dear Secretary Munro:
By letter previously acknowledged, you have asked our opinion on a question which we paraphrase as follows:
Should the election for the unexpired term of senator from the 13th legislative district be conducted with reference to the newly redrawn 13th district or the previously existing 13th district?
We answer that the special election for the remainder of the existing senate term should be conducted in the newly redistricted 13th legislative district.
Senator Frank "Tub" Hansen was reelected in the 13th legislative district in 1990 for a four-year term. At that time, the district consisted of parts of Adams, Grant, Kittitas, and Yakima counties. The 1992 redistricting plan adjusted the boundaries of the 13th district essentially removing an area in Adams county and adding three significant areas in Yakima, Kittitas, and Benton counties. Following Senator Hansen's death, his widow was appointed to fill the senate vacancy.[1] The election statutes require that an election be conducted this fall for the remaining portion of the four-year term for that office. Since you are the election officer who is to receive filings for the unexpired portion of this senate office, you need to know which district boundaries are to be used for that election.
The Washington State Constitution establishes a state senate composed of members elected from single member districts to staggered four-year terms. Const. art. 2, § 6. The constitution also requires legislative redistricting following each federal census. Const. art. 2, § 43(6). The redrawing of new legislative districts to account for adjustments in population is to be completed by the Redistricting Commission no later than January 1 of the following year ending in two. It is clearly contemplated that the general elections commencing with that year will use those districts. Id.
The redistricting plan did not purport to truncate the terms of office of senators elected two years previously. Under the plan such holdover senators are entitled to complete their four- year terms, even though the boundaries of their districts may have changed. This means that the senate convening in January 1993, will be composed approximately of half being senators elected from old districts in 1990, and the other half being elected from the new districts in 1992. This practice has been approved by federal and state courts, as an unavoidable consequence of reapportionment. Mader v. Crowell, 498 F. Supp. 226, 231 (M.D. Tenn. 1980), vacated on other grounds, 444 U.S. 505 (1980);In Re Apportionment of the Colorado General Assembly, 647 P.2d 191, 198-99 (Colo. 1982).
When a vacancy occurs in a partisan elective office at least four weeks prior to a primary election, there is to be an election for the remainder of the term at the general election. RCW 42.12.040. The winner of that election then serves for the remainder of the unexpired term. RCW 42.12.030.
Your question raises the issue of what is the area in which the election is to be held for the unexpired term. The language of article 2, section 15 of the Washington Constitution does not expressly answer that question. Our prior opinion (AGO 1981 No. 6), based upon section 67, chapter 288, Laws of 1981, concluded that although the appointee to fill a senate vacancy must be from the "old" district, an individual elected to serve the balance of the term must be from the new district.
The Legislature expressed a preference for resolving your question in the Reapportionment Act following the 1980 census. The Legislature enacted RCW 44.07B.860,[2] which provided that should the office of any legislator become vacant prior to the next election, "the appropriate election officers shall provide for corresponding elections, at the next general election, in the newly created districts to which the vacating senators or representatives were assigned." (Emphasis added.) We relied on that provision in AGO 1981 No. 6 to conclude that "at the point of election of successors, the old terms end and new 'unexpired' terms begin, based on the new legislative districts established by the new redistricting law." AGO 1981 No. 6, at 5.
We are mindful that the new redistricting is not based on RCW 44.07B, but rather on the actions of the Redistricting Commission. RCW 44.05. Neither RCW 44.07B.860 nor our previous opinion, based on that statute, dictate this conclusion as that statute does not govern redistricting under the new Redistricting Act. SeeSnyder v. Munro, 106 Wn.2d 380, 388, 721 P.2d 962 (1986). Both, however, present a recent historical context with which to view your inquiry.
Past practice supports applying that prior conclusion on the present situation. In 1972, a three-judge United States District Court entered a decision adopting its own redistricting plan based on the 1970 census. Prince v. Kramer, Civil No. 9668 (W.D. Wash. April 21, 1972),reprinted as Appendix to RCW 44.07B (1983).[3] Under that redistricting plan, the court allowed holdover senators to complete their terms "[n]ot deeming it necessary for the 'equal protection' of the people of the State of Washington to terminate the terms of these hold-over incumbents prematurely". Id. at 235.
The court also noted that, like the present situation, one holdover senator had died and been replaced by an appointee. The position was therefore scheduled for an election for the remaining two years of the unexpired term. Id. The court ordered that this election be conducted within the new district "as created by this Order." Id. at 236. The court further ordered
that if any of the above senators now serving four-year terms to which they were elected in 1970 should, for any reason, vacate their offices prior to the commencement of filings for legislative offices on July 31, 1972, the defendant elections officers shall provide for corresponding elections of senators, for two-year terms only,in the newly created districts to which they are assigned.
Id.(emphasis added). This pattern of past practice therefore supports the conclusion that an election to an unexpired term of a holdover senator should be based on the new, rather than old, district.
The constitutionally defined qualifications of legislators also support the conclusion that a senator elected to fill the unexpired term must be drawn from the new district. The constitution states, "[n]o person shall be eligible to the legislature who shall not be . . . a qualified voter in the district for which he is chosen." Const. art. 2, § 7. If a redistricting plan is "operative" when an elected term commences, as we concluded in AGO 65-66 No. 14, it follows that "the district for which the legislator is chosen" would mean the new district.
The reasons given by the federal courts when redistricting for approving of holdover senators do not apply where the voters have an opportunity to speak at a vacancy election. The courts have reasoned that maintaining holdover senators is an unavoidable consequence of reapportionment. Mader, 498 F. Supp. at 231. However, when the election laws require an election to fill the balance of a term of office, there is an opportunity to conduct an election in the new district.
Our conclusion is that the election in November 1992 for the balance of the remaining term of senate member from the 13th legislative district must be held with reference to the 1992 redistricted 13th district.[4] It therefore follows that candidates for that election must be residents of that district as is required by RCW 42.04.020.
We believe this conclusion is supported by prior Washington practice.
We trust that the foregoing will be of assistance to you.
Very truly yours,
KENNETH O. EIKENBERRY Attorney General
JEFFREY T. EVEN Assistant Attorney General
[1]AGO 1981 No. 6 and AGO 65-66 No. 14 have previously concluded that the appointed successor must reside in the "old" district.
[2]Laws of 1981, ch. 288, § 67, p. 1214.
[3]Although an unpublished decision, the inclusion of the opinion by the Legislature as an appendix to its Redistricting Act following the 1980 census indicates that the Legislature regards it as having some value as a guide to Washington redistricting practice.
[4]The Colorado Supreme Court reached a contrary conclusion in Kallenberger v. Buchanan, 649 P.2d 314 (Colo. 1982), but we believe Washington's law to be different.
A Colorado statute required that a vacancy be filled from the district from which the former senator had been elected. Id. at 316. Washington's vacancy election statute is not worded in that way. Washington's comparable statute simply states that "a successor shall be elected to that office at that general election." RCW 42.12.040.

High fuel costs have our industry searching for opportunities to lower the thermostat, and poinsettias provide a unique opportunity for reducing greenhouse fuel inputs. Initially, the options may appear to be limited since poinsettias have historically not grown well at cooler temperatures. However, poinsettia has several attractive features.

This is part two of a feature examining Evercore, the US wealth management company. Part one can be viewed here.
Clearly the biggest move Evercore has made since its launch is the Lowry Hill lift-out, which brought in five senior executives, including Martha Pomerantz, portfolio manager and co-manager of Evercores new Minneapolis office. Financial terms were undisclosed, but Maurer did say the investment was big enough to prevent Evercore from making a profit last year.
Pomerantz said she fielded numerous offers, but chose Evercore because of its service culture, in addition to its investment team. There arent many other firms that would assign a second senior person to a team, Pomerantz said. What appealed to me was a higher level of strategic wealth planning that was very unusual, and which combined with their investment management capabilities, made for sticky relationships.

PTC annex bid OK'd for new company
The Peachtree City Council Thursday night agreed to explore a potential 77-acre annexation of property on Ga. Highway 74 South to house a new manufacturing facility.
The company, Low Temp, is currently in Jonesboro and manufactures kitchen equipment for use in hospitals, restaurants and schools across the nation, according to Ben Casey, the third generation in his family to work with the company.
Council's approval allows Low Temp to begin working directly with city staff, which will analyze the proposal and provide a recommendation to City Council.
Low Temp is looking at building on undeveloped land at the city's southern limit off Ga. Highway 74 across from Redwine Road. The annexation, if approved, would also require a rezoning to an industrial classification.
Meanwhile, council unanimously jumped at the chance to consider a different use for the property, which is currently located in unincorporated Fayette County and zoned for a combined shopping center and office complex. That zoning, which happened back in 2000, was opposed by the city based on the proximity of the Wilshire Pavilion less than a half mile to the north which at the time was in its infancy.
Low Temp expects to bring 165 jobs to the city and their new site will allow them to improve efficiency and also have room to grow.
Councilman Doug Sturbaum said the development would protect the natural buffers on the site and also the adjacent subdivision in unincorporated Fayette County.
Councilwoman Vanessa Fleisch said she was also in favor, but she asked if the company had looked into any of the city's existing vacant industrial space.
Casey said the company had done so but was unable to find a building that would meet the company's need for size, flow and expansion potential.
"We actually couldn't find a site without the help of the mayor because we couldn't find it in your inventory," Casey said.
The unanimous motion approving the step 1 annexation application does not guarantee that the annexation will ultimately be approved.
You are babbling again!
A "state of the art" factory, is that your justification for allowing it at the entrance of the PTC. what do you want to build on the other entrances, sewer plants, cell towers and other crap...oh I forgot, you probably think cell towers cause cancer, well atleast in your case it melts away gray matter in the skull!
I use to own a metal fabricating business that made smaller items. The machines are very noisy and normally you hire factory workers at minimuim wage. I guess you have experience in metal fabrication Ms PTCGOIL? Right?
Oh I forgot last week or the week before you stated on this blog you were in favor of putting factory there!
So, now it's better to attack and criticize! That's what you fo best when people disagree with expert advice and omnipresent wealth of knowledge in all topics relating to PTC. Excuse me for disagreeing.
Bet the rain and cold weather really messed up those machines, keeping them outside in the parking lot where you let the noise bother the neighbors.
Yeah, I think the owners of this co. have a lot more gray matter, in that they are going to place their workers and machines inside a state of the art building. And pay them a decent wage. Be kinda hard to bother the elderly and horses next door.
You paid minimum wage, no surprise there, considering the source.
I can tell you have done no research on this company or what the plan consists of or how it actually improves this corner. Try to educate yourself, then you can give your "expert" advice.
A factory on the city's gateway???? ... Is that what PTC wants on its entrance?
How many new jobs will this really create for PTC? Is everyone in Jonesboro going to be laid off to create these new jobs? Why wouldn't the current employees commute to the new location, its not far....What's the hourly wage for a factory worker and how many spots will be available for PTC people? Probably everyone will stay with the company creating more traffic...200 people driving from Jonesboro to PTC.
What about the residential in the area? Isn't there a proposal for a retirement community next door, and when the horse farms sell, isn't that prime residental space especially since they are directly across from the schools?
Wait, never mind.
So much babbling about things certain bloggers have no knowledge of and the sarcasm!! Oh my. Massive stupidity runs rampant on here, me thinks. Must be contagious.:)
This annexation would be very detrimental to the citizens of Fayette County and PTC. We have an industrial park and that is where companies like this need to locate. Not next to a subdivision and a community, next to a daycare and across from schools. there is a reason the county zoned this property the way they did to protect the people. Now that PTC is in the hole financially they are willing to sell anybody down the road. PTC also wants a reason to put sewer in the area and this will help them do it. Where are all the people who have been fighting against the WFB, once it is rezoned there is no guarantee that LO Temp will go in. What if they go out of business and some other company that has chemicals, and hazardous things that can harm us. Look and see what can be built in this type of zoning. industrial classification Come on people there are homes near by.
What do these people want to relocate here from Jonesboro?
I'll bet no or low taxes, Industrial zoning near homes, etc.
Why not tear down some of the empties in our Industrial area and build there? The Authority could do that!
I figured someone involved with the shopping centers in that area knew that might become an Industrial area. Want to bet?
Who currently own the land and who did before?
Just checking, our right.
...and DA
as if we didn't know this would happen.

Henrietta Lacks, a poor, southern tobacco farmer, is known throughout the medical world for changing the course of science. Only, she'll never know. Arthur Caplan, director of the Center for Bioethics at University of Pennsylvania, will discuss how Lacks' cancer-stricken cells, taken without her knowledge, became an important medical tool during his talk "Bioethics and Henrietta Lacks" at 11:30 a.m., Thursday, September 16, in the Tomezsko Classroom Building Lounge at Penn State Brandywine.
Though she has been dead for more than 60 years, Lacks' cells, known as "HeLa cells," remain alive today—duplicated and grown in culture. These cells were vital in developing the polio vaccine and helped unlock clues to understanding cancer, viruses and the atom.
Caplan's talk is the first in a yearlong series of programs and events relating to the campus' Common Read Program, which encourages the campus community to read a book chosen at the beginning of the year and then explore it in a variety of ways. This year's common read is The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot.
Caplan is widely known for his research on transplantation research ethics, genetics, reproductive technologies, health policy and general bioethics. He has a regular column titled "Breaking Bioethics" on MSNBC.com and has published dozens of books on his research.
For more information, contact Patricia Hillen at 610-892-1372 or email@example.com. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Upcoming Events:
"Diagnosis is Cancer: Now What"
"What Henrietta Lacks Could Have Done as a Penn State Employee"

Bobcats: Coach Paul Silas not returning next yearCHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Charlotte Bobcats have announced that coach Paul Silas won't be back following the worst season in NBA history. Team spokesman Josh Rosen confirmed the decision Monday. Silas just completed the final year of his contract. Charlotte finished 7-59 for the worst winning percentage in league history (.106). The 68-year-old Silas told The Associated Press late in the year that he wanted to "see things through" and coach one more season. It's unclear who'll replace Silas, who leaves with a 32-88 at Charlotte. The Bobcats were last in the league in scoring and shooting percentage and lost 22 games by 20 or more points. |

Despite the fact that we're almost a quarter of the way through what's left of a regular season, there are still some NBA caliber talents that are either unsigned, waiting for work, or in the NBA D-League, waiting for better work.
This list attempts to document some of those available NBA-caliber talents. As well as some who aren't.
Gilbert Arenas — One of seven designated amnesty players this offseason, Hibachi is finally free from the monumental burden that was his monumental contract. Even then, however, no one seems to want him. As much as Gilbert has declined, he has never declined to the point that he is no longer an NBA talent. He is, however, seemingly not good enough any more to overcome his reputation.
Marcus Banks — After eight years and $40 million in the NBA, Banks never realized his potential beyond "sometimes useful defensive specialist." That said, he still is that.
Earl Boykins — If you need someone to come in and take all of your fourth quarter shots, Earl might be your man. This is a particularly useful service if you are trying to lose.
Luther Head — Head has had a poor couple of years, struggling with both injuries and opportunity. A reported invite to training camp with the Bulls never materialized, and a much publicized trip to the D-League lasted all of two days. If healthy and available, Head provides solid small-guard defense and catch-and-shoot range, but they are increasingly big ifs.
Eddie House — Signed by the Heat to a guaranteed contract with a view to being a feared shooting specialist off the bench. Then cut by the Heat when it became apparent he hasn't shot well enough to be a feared shooter for a couple of years now. There may still be a spark on the fire, but Eddie needs to chuck a log on it. (As well as not chuck.)
Allen Iverson — Should take the Antoine Walker route and join the D-League. And I base that on absolutely nothing.

In fact, we're launching our fall and winter sales and landscape design services, including our new online store! We sell a variety of non-perishable items, which make great holiday gifts (or gifts for any occasion)! We ship too!
