"Cover Chicago Garden in Black Plastic"
2009-10-31 22:00:00 While looking over the stats for my MrBrownThumb garden blog I noticed that someone recently visited after searching for, "cover Chicago garden in black plastic." The gardener must have been looking for information on weed deterrents. I've seen people use black plastic bags, which are different than the landscaping plastic you'll find at your local garden center. There is also a landscaping fabric which works just as well and allows air and water to reach the soil easier. A few years ago I was given a roll of landscaping fabric by a fellow gardener and it has sat underneath the front stairs, unused....

6 reasons to ditch that plastic bottle
2009-09-02 03:22:00 You might have heard about the recent SIGG water bottle drama--it turns out that bottles made before August 2008 were lined with a water-based epoxy liner that contained trace amounts of BPA. Since then, the aluminum bottles have used a new liner that is BPA-free.Oops. I kinda feel like I was dupedThat being said, SIGG water bottles have regularly been tested, and despite the small amount of BPA said to be in the liner, tests haven't detected it.But ... this case of misinformation shouldn't keep you from ditching the flimsy Costco bottles of water for a new, BPA-free container. Here's why:...

How Much Is Too Much Plastic Surgery?
2009-07-18 05:43:00 The recent publicity surrounding the death of Michael Jackson has included much discussion about plastic surgery, specifically people who have too much plastic surgery. This does come up with patients. It may even be more prevalent here in Los Angeles than in other parts of the country.Without a doubt, there is such a thing as too much plastic surgery. The key is to understand why someone is looking for a procedure. Is it for reasonable goals, such as seeking Beverly Hills rhinoplasty to smooth a large bump on the nose? Similarly, is it to have a Mommy Makeover to return to that pre-baby shape? These are reasonable goals. They are what we look for in people who have appropriate expectations for procedures.Warning signs of someone having too much plastic surgery, or seeking it for questionable reasons, are when someone says the procedure is for somebody else, to radically change someone's life, or to land that job as the next "Baywatch&...

Plastic Surgery for Men
2009-06-06 02:34:00 Plastic surgery for men is an increasingly popular area within our field. In the past, plastic surgery was almost exclusively the domain of women. Sure, there was the occasional man who came in but by and large this was quite rare. No more. We do more plastic surgery for men every month. In fact, our volume of male patients is growing even faster than that for our women.There are several very popular procedures for men. We do a large number of rhinoplasty procedures on male patients. Many of these men also have breathing issues, including snoring which can be corrected with a simultaneous septoplasty. We do a lot of fat removal on male patients, often with large volume liposuction. Not everyone is a candidate for these procedures. You must be in very good health and allow a bit more extended time both for recovery and to see the final results. We often do eyelid surgery to freshen the face. And, of course, we do...

But have a look at these Plastic Stools from PeliDesign presented at ICFF09.They are created with the aim to explain and show how and why plastic furniture can co-exist with wooden furniture, how plastics and wood can be fused and may be even plastics can be used to repair wooden furniture!"The Plastic Nature is a furniture concept which exemplifies the connection of the "plastic-world" and the world of wooden furniture....When wood is machined, material is always taken away - contrary to plastic. In plastic manufacturing there is hardly any waste because plastic is cast in shapes and leftovers molten again for further casting.
