The European Union and Tajikistan held the eighth round of their annual Human Rights Dialogue in Dushanbe today. The EU delegation was led by Toivo Klaar, Head of the Central Asia Division of the European External Action Service, while the Tajikistan delegation was headed by Sharaf Karimzoda, Deputy Head of Department for Human Rights in the executive apparatus of the President of Tajikistan.
The meeting allowed for an open and frank exchange of views on the human rights situation in Tajikistan.
The European Union reiterated its serious concern regarding a number of developments over the past year, including the prosecution and imprisonment of political opponents, members of their families, and lawyers representing them, and urged Tajikistan to fully investigate reports of torture and violations of the right to a fair trial in these cases.
The EU welcomed recent steps to enhance legal safeguards against torture, and encouraged greater efforts to implement those safeguards and to prosecute those responsible for torture.
EU representatives underlined the important role played by civil society organisations and human rights defenders in Tajikistan, and urged the Tajik authorities to facilitate their work, and to engage in further consultations with NGOs on the development of new financial reporting procedures. The EU also urged the Tajik authorities to ease pressure on journalists and to cease blocking news websites.
The next round of the human rights dialogue will be held in Brussels in 2017.

Varsity tasks govt on TETFUND scheme
SAMUEL Adegboyega University, Ogwa in Edo State has lent its support to agitation by private universities to benefit from the Tertiary Education Fund (TETFUND) by calling on the Federal Government to allow the affected institutions participate in the scheme with a view to cushioning their financial challenges.
The Visitor, Pastor (Dr.) Gabriel Olutola, made the appeal at the weekend during the school's maiden convocation ceremony where it 58 graduated students.
There has been increased agitation by privately owned higher institutions to be part of the federal incentive. Even former President Olusegun Obasanjo was once quoted as saying in Benson Idahosa University (BIU) also in Edo State that for private universities and polytechnics to benefit from TETFUND, the law setting it up would have to be reviewed. And he was quoted too to have said that he had also set up a committee to look into the issue shortly before he left office in 2007.
"Extending Federal Government's support to private universities is what we have advocated for some time now. Private universities were established as intervention efforts of private individuals and corporate organisations to complement the government in providing the teeming youths access to education which existing public universities are not satisfying."

Residential development land value in Dublin soars
Industrial sector proved the strongest performing commercial property sector in 2016
The value of office development land in Dublin is forecast to rise by 12 per cent in 2017 after recording 17 per cent growth in 2016
Residential development land value in Dublin rose by 14 per cent last year and is forecast to grow by a further 15 per cent in 2017, according to a new forecast.
The Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland's (SCSI) latest survey indicates that prime office and retail rents in the capital will likely increase by 7 per cent this year.
Moreover, the value of office development land in Dublin is forecast to rise by 12 per cent in 2017 after recording 17 per cent growth in 2016.
Over 380 estate agents and chartered surveyors from all over the country took part in the latest survey, which reveals the commercial property sector in Ireland performed strongly last year with growth recorded across all sectors, albeit at a more moderate rate than in 2015.
The industrial sector proved the strongest performing commercial property sector in 2016, the report finds, outperforming both the office and retail sectors. The survey indicates this is set to continue this year as favourable capital and rental values remain in the sector.
Chartered Surveyors forecast a rental increase of 7 per cent in Prime Grade A property in the Dublin Region with a 6 per cent rise for most other office types. The anticipated level of growth outside of the capital is more moderate with a predicted increase of 4 per cent respectively for Prime Grade A and Prime 3rd Generation office rents in the Munster and Connacht/Ulster regions.
In the retail sector, prime retail zone A units in Dublin achieved rental prices of €5,876 per square metre in 2016, representing an increase of 12 per cent on the prior year. Rents for such units will likely increase by 7 per cent over the coming year. Growth in all other retail types is forecast to be in the moderate region of 4 per cent to 5 per cent.
Retail rents are also expected to increase by 8 per cent in the Leinster region, excluding Dublin, with a 5 per cent rise in Connacht/Ulster and a 1 per cent increase in Munster.

This site was constructed for the purpose of displaying Australian Railway photographs of a difference (working detail photos). The objective is to show between 10 - 20 detailing photos of any particular piece of railway equipment, as well as a general overall photo of that piece of equipment, therefore allowing other modellers to benefit from the photography.
As I am an avid scratchbuilder, I have many detail photographs of pieces of railway equipment. These photos have been used in conjunction with drawings and measurements to build various models to what I would consider a high standard. So, with this in mind, I thought that other modellers would have a selection of photos of equipment that they may be modelling from, and would like to share the information with other modellers by way of these pages. I think it would be safe to say that some modellers don't have the time, the facilities, or the equipment to obtain the necessary photos of their dream loco, or other piece of railway equipment. So, if those modellers who do have the photos and would like to share their information with other modellers via this web page, the objective of the site will have been achieved.
If you would like to contribute to the success of this site and share your detail photos with other modellers who don't have the information (for whatever reason), I, and other modellers, would appreciate your contribution. Who knows: you may be surprised to see something from other contributors that may help or improve your modelling. After all, improving standards and modelling in general is one of my main aims in this wonderful, diverse hobby. Happy Modelling, and take a look at the Submission Criteria Page to obtain a better idea of what is required
A new page named the Suggestions page, has been set up. This page will allow modellers & photographers to request detail photos of any particular item in which they may be interested. The ideas may provoke any of the other surfers of the site into providing the necessary photos. The requests will be listed on this page with the e-mail address of the person requesting the information until the infomation is forthcoming. To go to the Suggestions page just click on the above link. Any suggestions can be e-mailed to the webmaster as can any photo sets for posting onto the site.

Rest in Peace - Mike "Trent Acid" Verdi
11/12/1980 - 6/18/2010
It is with deep regret that CZW management has the unfortunate duty to report on the passing of one of it's own. Early this morning, Michael "Trent Acid" Verdi passed away in his home in South Philadelphia at the age of 29, just blocks away from the building where he helped revolutionize the business he so deeply loved. The entire extended CZW family is in mourning over the loss of one its true homegrown stars, and a man who was a friend to so many, both inside the business and out. We extend our deepest condolences and sympathies to his family and friends as they grieve for his loss.
Trent Acid lived to wrestle. From the time he first stepped thru the curtain at the world famous "ECW Arena", it was clear that he was no ordinary wrestler. This kid from the streets of South Philly was born to entertain, and for more than a decade, he did all that and more. In his storied career, Trent Acid won titles all over the world, but the ones that meant the most to him were those that came in his own neighborhood. In 2002, Trent acheived what many would consider to be the highlight of his career when he defeated Jody Fleisch in front of a capacity crowd at the Arena to become CZW's second ever "Best of the Best" Champion. Trent was also a gifted tag-team wrestler, tagging with longtime friend and partner Johnny Kashmere to form the "Backseat Boyz", together changing the tag-team game as we knew it, while taking their act all over the world in the process. In addition to his contributions in the ring, Trent gave back to the business outside the ring. As a trainer, he helped mold the careers of many of the next generation of professional wrestlers. His advice was priceless, and it was sought by many who wanted to be the very best at their craft.
For over a decade, we watched as he grew from the flashy, energetic youngster with the infectious smile, to becoming a certifiable International Superstar. Now, for many years to follow, we will remember him as one of the greatest independent wrestlers of all time, and his memory will never die.
On the afternoon of Saturday, July 10th at 230pm, The Arena in South Philly, along with CZW and Trent's friends and family will come together to present a very special tribute show to honor his life, and memory. Admission to the event will be free, with a suggested $10 dollar donation. 100% of the proceeds will go to Trent's family, many of whom will be on hand for what should be a very emotional afternoon. Stay tuned to CZWrestling.com, and the usual media outlets for more on this event.
To Donate to the Acid Memorial fund via paypal please use the following link: [email protected] The Money will be withdrawn and added to the money we give to Trent's Family at The Acid-Fest.
I just got off the Phone with the new CZW Owner DJ Hyde and we have come to a joint agreement to hold "Acid-Fest: A Tribute to Trent Acid" at the former ECW Arena on Saturday afternoon July 10th with a 2:30pm belltime. Admission will be FREE with a $10 Donation to the Trent Acid Memorial Fund to help his family pay his funeral costs. Seating will be on a first come first serve basis, there will be no GA or Front Row seats. The event will consist of SIX wrestling matches featuring all of Trent's best friends. One of the matches will be the Trent Acid Battle Royal!
Already guaranteed to be there include: (in no particular order)
Johnny Kashmere
Nick Berk
Brian Logan
The Rockin' Rebel
Billy Reil
Don Montoya
Flash Wheeler
Mike Kehner
Matt Walsh
Big Mac Smack
Doomsday Danny Rose
Ian Knoxx
Stephen DeAngelis
Ron Starr
The Messiah
Nate Hatred
John Dahmer
DJ Hyde
Adam Flash
John House
Joe Ettell
Nick Gage
and many more TBA as they confirm their attendance. Also all of The PWU Students of Trents are invited to attend this to pay their tribute to Trent.
Please help us spread the word and remember to thank DJ HYDE of CZW and of course ROGER of THE ARENA for helping make this all possible. Very selfless of them, and I really wish them the best always. This will be a great afternoont to honor Trent Acid. We will all wrestle as if Trent was watching from the balcony and our goal is to make him laugh. Trent really had a huge personality and an amazing sense of humour, and we will honor those qualities on July 10th at the Arena.
*I am also contacting Trent's Family about attending so they can accept the donation live in person. Also we are going to induct a very special honorary member to The BackSeat Boyz on this special afternoon.
It really would mean the world to Trent if you showed up and supported this event. God Bless and please repost this and help us spread the word all over the place!

MAKING 30% BELIEVERSTop clinicians are choosing At-Home 30%
Were you a 30% skeptic? You wouldn't have been alone. To many pros, the use of 30% carbamide peroxide for at-home whitening sounded excessive. However, given the facts and the opportunity to try the product both on themselves and patients, top clinicians are coming to the conclusion that At-Home 30% is the future of whitening. Consider this:* Clinicians started whitening using 10% only because it was originally used to treat gum disease. When treating the gums, 10% (which is Glyoxide Proxi Gel) is still the choice. But, when tooth whitening is the objective, clinicians naturally gravitate toward what works best for patients – higher concentrations for faster results and less wear time. We've seen the popularity of percentages move to 15%, then to 20%, and now that it has proven safe and most viable, on to 30%.
* A well-documented 1,400-patient study found an incredibly low 5% rate of pulpal sensitivity using 30% carbamide peroxide for at-home treatment.1 Multiple shade shifts were achieved in 93% to 97% of cases within 7 to 10 days. The 30% carbamide peroxide was tested in-vivo and shown to have no soft tissue aberrations in accordance with the ADA protocol for safety.
* Consider this from the world-class clinician, Bill Strupp, Jr., DDS, who has 31 years of experience, lectures all over the country to thousands of dentists, and publishes the popular Crown & Bridge Update. Over a year ago, Dr. Strupp announced that for months he had been whitening ALL of his patients with Life-Like 30% Carbamide Peroxide. The reason, "We get a better result because we are using 30% c.p. that works faster and consequently patients are more compliant, without any downsides," explained Dr. Strupp. When asked if he would use 30%, he replied, "That's the only way I'll do it, because I can't stand walking around with that stent in my mouth. I also realize that my patients are no different and deserve the best possible option."
* Michael Miller, DDS of Reality Magazine spoke out in support of At-Home 30% in a lecture at the Las Vegas Cosmetic Dentistry 2001 conference, February 8-9, 2001. Dr. Miller stated, "…when I first thought of somebody doing home bleaching with a 30% carbamide peroxide I said, 'You're out of your mind.' This'll never work, it'll blow out teeth, they'll be sensitive, it'll be this, it'll do that. Well I can t ell you, it doesn't do that." Dr. Miller went on to explain, "And, what's very nice about this product is that you c an have patients wear the tray twice a day for 20 minutes and you can go from a C3 to a C1 in one week – in one week, 20 minutes a day – driving to and from work. So this 30% carbamide peroxide, as long as they keep the wear time down to a minimum and you don't cover any of the gums, so you scallop the trays very nicely, I am firmly convinced that this is the way that home bleaching is going to go."1. "1,400-Patient Study Shows 30% Safe for At-Home Use," Whitener, 2nd Quarter, 2000: 2
Set Whitening Services high above the Low-and-Slow or OTC Products!
It's not a problem. It's an evolution.
The over-the-counter (OTC) Whitest "text/j rofessional whitening towards its inevitable destination – At-Home 30% Carbamide Peroxide.
A May 4, 2001 USA Today article announced that Procter & Gamble plans to spend $100 million on its rollout marketing for their $44 Crest WhitestripsTM kits. That's more than a gentle push; it's a shove – for professional whitening to evolve. What does this do to the old 10%, 15%, and even 20% carbamide peroxide whitening market? There are still significant benefits to professional whitening regardless of the percentage used – the supervision, the complete whitening, etc. However, to clearly establish professional whitening as being head-and-shoulders above OTC products, it will take the fast and predictable results of At-Home 30% Carbamide Peroxide.
Natural evolution? Yes. Think how whitening started out with 10% c.p. Life-Like introduced 15% and the dental community was slow to adopt it as safe and more effective. Then Life-Like was again first to introduce 20% that then went through the same slow adoption process. Now it has been over two years since Life-Like was first to introduce 30%. The adopt n.js" type="text/javascript"> ion rate has been phenomenal. Why? Patients want the product with the fastest, most p redictable results that are safe – and 30% has proven to be the right balance for at-home use, exhibiting a mere 5% rate of pulpal sensitivity.
The extent of the impact of low-cost OTC products remains to be seen. Chances are, it will have the following effects:
Market Expansion – Now whitening will be affordable to thousands of people who would have never considered it before. Whitening will move more into the mainstream beyond the 5% of the population currently whitening their tee th. Proctor & Gamble expects that number to grow to 50%!1
Fall Off – Many of these new whitening cases are sure to trickle back into professional whitening. They are sure to gain a whitening consciousness and they will be dissatisfied with the shortcomings of the one-size-fits-all approach of the strips. Think how many people will use them without regard for existing caps or veneers and end up in your office. Many are going to get "horse-mouth," and will want distal whitening of all visible tooth surfaces. Many are sure to be frustrated with the long number of days it takes to whiten with the strips.
Need for Speed and the 30% Difference – More dental offices will see the need to set their whitening services above professional low-and-slow or OTC products. Therefore, At-Home 30% Carbamide Peroxide will become the most widely used professional at-home whitener. OTC products will be seen as the budget whitener that can take months. More and more people will be drawn to the faster and more effective professional whitening that takes only 7 to 10 days for both arches. The word will get out as people will struggle with OTC product compliance and likely take months to whiten. They will be walking advertisements for how not to whiten. The fastest at-home whitening solution will be the clear professional distinction over low-and-slow whitening alternatives.
1. Horovitz, Bruce. "Crest Markets White Teeth to the Masses." USA Today. 4 May, 2001.
New marketing tools set you apart and increase your whitening cases.
Your patients deserve to know. You've got a message that needs to be shared. When you offer At-Home 30% Carbamide Peroxide, you offer the fastest, most predictable whitening that requires the least wear time, and has the best patient compliance. Isn't it a disturbing idea to think that one of your patients could end up using a professional low-and-slow or OTC whitener? Wouldn't it be sad if a patient didn't whiten at all because of a common misconception, and because he or she thought the only answer took weeks – or more than a month?
Okay, you don't have the time to be a marketing guru, nor are you comfortable with the idea of subjecting your patients to a hard sell. What you can do, however, is make it easy for your patients to make an informed decision. Life-Like is trying to help with the right set of marketing tools. Here are some tools and tips:
* New 30% Whitening Brochure – A stack of these compact brochures in your waiting room is a favor to your patients. The brochure is packed with answers to the most common questions about whitening. It provides a clear distinction as to why your professional At-Home 30% whitening will respect the patients' time and give them the best whitening results. Best of all, the brochures are inexpensive and are often included in Life-Like specials, so you can afford to send every patient home with one to pass on to family and friends.
* Web Page – Want to educate your patients on the benefits of professional whitening and the 30% difference in living, interactive color? You'll find the Life-Like consumer web page at www.whiterteeth.com. It's there to support your patients with helpful consumer whitening information. Your patients can learn why your At-Home 30% whitening services are the best possible option. Don't forget that you and your staff can also go to www.life-like.com for professional whitening information, as well as for all the back issues of the Whitener.
* New Poster – A poster is a great way to get patients asking your staff about whitening. Life-Like polled dental offices to find out what would be most helpful in a poster. The result is a poster that promotes smiling, is attractive, is light hearted, and that includes a before-and-after shot.
* Placards, Buttons, & Statement Stuffers – Subtle but effective marketing tools are a way to open the subject of whitening. The placards are 5" X 8" and can be free-standing on a counter or hang on the wall. The buttons worn by the staff ask the question: "Why go another day?" to initiate a quiet sense of urgency. The statement stuffers are a great way to help patients remember that their dentist is the source for whitening.
To learn more about how you can help your patients make the informed choice and keep your practice a step ahead, visit www.life-like.com/marketing or call (800) 543-3545.
Kim Herman of Ventura, California has become a fan of At-Home 30%.
Says Kim about her At-Home 30% whitening experience, "I really like that it takes less time. I haven't had any sensitivity. I've used other whitening products before and I did not see an instant result with them. I didn't like sleeping with trays in my mouth. I had sensitivity using those other products that took so long, and I didn't get good results. I like the 30% so much better!"
Kim also liked how the short treatment times allow whitening to fit into her busy life. She explained, "With the Life-Like 30%, I can load bleaching trays and then wear them in the shower and while doing my bathroom routines."
30% Makes it possible! Here's how.
In the days of 10%, 15%, and even 20%, dual arch whitening was NOT a good idea. Two stents in the mouth for over 30 minutes was an invitation for patient discomfort and TMJ problems. Whitening over weeks without the contrast of arches is a formula for unhappy patients who can't perceive the change. The fast whitening and short wear time of 30% changes all that.
Consider this: Dual arch whitening means whitening in just half the time. Consider the difference. Standard 15% carbamide peroxide requires approximately 14 to 21 days per arch. That's 28 to 42 days to do both arches. That's a lot of wear time over more than a month's worth of days. Using 30%, a patient can whiten both arches at once for a total of 7 to 10 days. What is the likelihood of the average patient staying with the whitening regimen for 28 to 42 days with so little reinforcement? Who wouldn't prefer to whiten in just 7 to 10 days with the instant gratification of fast, predictable results? Which would you choose?
It's not inexpensive if it doesn't work.
What good is a cheap over-the-counter (OTC) whitener or the priciest professional whitening treatment if the patient doesn't stay with the required regimen? The fact is, patient compliance is tantamount to whitening success. However patients choose to whiten their teeth, the value of whitening is tied directly to how easy it is for the patient to fully implement the modality.
The key to patient compliance is TIME. Note how time is at the core of each of these compliance issues and how At-Home 30% Carbamide Peroxide makes the best use of patients' time:
* Convenience – The shorter the treatment time, the greater the convenience. Using At-Home 30%, the treatments are only 20-30 minutes each. Therefore, whitening can fit into morning and night bathroom routines. Fitting into patients' busy schedules with a routine makes it so much easier.
* Treatment Days – Studies show most patients lose interest after 10 days. Unlike lower concentrations and OTC products that take 14 – 28 days per arch and beyond, At-Home 30% allows patients to finish both arches in just 7 to 10 days.
* Reality Fudge Factor – Who is perfect? Most patients, in reality, miss a treatment here and miss a day there. The more days required to whiten the more missed treatments there will be. With the shorter number of days required with 30%, this fudge factor is kept to a minimum.
* Treatment Recovery – Lower concentration modalities typically require longer wear times of 1 hour to overnight and keep teeth away from naturally hydrating saliva. Dehydration is one of the leading causes of tooth sensitivity – and pain inhibits patient compliance. The short treatments of 20-30 minutes, using water-based At-Home 30%, allow the teeth to rehydrate quickly.
* Results – Visible results are motivating. Continuing treatment is so much easier when people are complimenting your patients and they are seeing for themselves the dramatic whitening. At-Home 30% simply produces the most visible, dramatic, and predictable at-home whitening results.
* Respect – A modality that shows respect for the patients' time is more likely to receive the respect of the patients. This respect in turn makes it easier for patients to invest their precious time. At-Home 30% offers this respect and makes the best use of patients' time.
There's a difference.
There's a difference between working with At-Home 30% Carbamide Peroxide and the lower concentrations. The adjustments to the procedure are small and easy, but the benefits to your patients are big and significant. Here are some important guidelines to keep in mind to insure your patients achieve total whitening success:
* Refrigerate – At-Home 30% should be refrigerated at all times when not in use. Tell your patients to do the same.
* Screen Patients – The patients need to be able to follow dosage control instructions. Overloading the tray will cause mild to severe gum irritation. If you believe the patient cannot follow instructions, perhaps a lower concentration is in order.
* No Reservoirs – Reservoirs sounded like a good idea, but they simply do not help get fresh bleach to the teeth. Reservoirs defeat van der Waal's Forces and allow bleach to leave the tray. They are ineffective and take unnecessary lab time. In short, they waste busy time, have no benefit, and can cause problems – so skip them.
* Trim Tray Off Soft Tissue – Properly trimmed trays are a must with 30%. The trays should not overlap the gingiva. Pay close attention to the trim and keep the edges smooth and off the soft tissue.
* Short 20-30 Min. Treatments – Each treatment should be 20-30 minutes and no longer. Going beyond that promotes sensitivity from tooth dehydration. Besides, your patients want short wear time and a majority of the active ingredient is expended after the first half hour.
* Patient Instruction – The patient should be shown how to load the tray with the proper dosage. Show the 1/4cc hash marks on the syringe. Demonstrate how small the beads of bleach should be in each tooth indentation, and show the patient how the plunger should only move a total of 1/4cc.
* Manage Expectations – As with any whitening modality, let patients know what to expect. If you are doing dual-arch whitening, let the patients know they won't have the other arch to compare the contrast. Ask friends to notice. Let the patient know that uneven whitening is common, to stick with it, and that it will whiten and even out quickly.
Higher Concentration gels mean lower sensitivity due to reduced wear time.
There is a common notion that higher concentration carbamide peroxide means greater sensitivity. While this is true for soft tissue, it is simply not the case when the objective is to whiten teeth, where higher concentrations can actually help avoid pulpal sensitivity through lower wear time.
There are two types of sensitivity: soft tissue irritation and acute pulpal sensitivity. When using carbamide peroxide to treat gums, a practice that is certain to continue to grow, low concentration (8-10% c.p.) is the choice when putting gel into contact with the soft tissue. When whitening, scalloping the tray makes the soft tissue issue moot. Acute pulpal sensitivity comes from two sources – access to the dentin and/or tooth dehydration.
Contrary to common thought, At-Home 30% fast bleach is the best way to avoid these problems; a small drop of 30% gel will create a smear layer from which maximum oxidation per volume occurs in 20-30 minutes. The tray is removed and the tooth rehydrates, reducing/eliminating hydrostatic pressure imbalance (pain source) in the dentinal tubules. The oxidizing agent enters the dentin via incisal wear, enamel fractures, faulty margins, and insufficient enamel coverage at the C-E junction; scalloping and dosage control keeps the gel off the soft tissue and the C-E junction. In short, less gel and less wear time in higher concentration is best for whitening your patients.
An update on the Fight Against Gum Disease.
The response to the previous Whitener articles on periodontal disease and management has been enormous – understandable given that 80% of the population is at risk of periodontal disease which has links to heart disease, stroke, diabetes mellitus, premature births, respiratory ailments, respiratory ailments and hip replacement infections.
The remarkable therapeutic capacity of the topical application of low concentrations of carbamide peroxide is well documented, whose therapeutic significance has been diminished for a decade by its use for cosmetic whitening of teeth and the introduction of costly esoteric drug therapies. The benefits of patient empowered, tray delivered bio-oxidation is well documented for destroying anaerobic bacteria, discouraging plaque formation, reducing bleeding, and foaming away aerobic bacteria, retained food debris, and necrotic tissue.
The use of therapeutic extended bleaching trays is compelling, is covered by most insurances (cat. # 4381), and can be delivered via auxiliary personnel.

Questioning those Whitening Assumptions
There are many advertisements claiming fast whitening. But ask yourself this question: how can lower at-home concentrations whiten faster than 30% carbamide peroxide?
* How can a "sustained release formula" help whiten teeth better? How can it help to slow down the chemical reaction that whitens teeth? Is the point to wear a tray for the longest time or is it just difficult to give up the overnight myth?
* Why do we think lower concentrations have less pulpal sensitivity, when extended wear time prevents the natural hydration of the teeth and lower concentrations require more wear time? Doesn't it make sense to bleach for short sessions with high concentration and then let the teeth rehydrate after 30 minutes?
* Does it make sense to add chemicals to whitening gel to prevent sensitivity when there is the alternative of the shorter wear time patients want anyway?
* Why offer multiple, candy-flavored whitening gels when the patient should not be tasting it in the first place? Isn't the taste of the gel a warning sign of overfilling the tray? What message are we sending by offering candy flavors?
* Which would you prefer as a patient – the shortest wear time and fastest results with 30% carbamide peroxide – or hours of extended wear time using a low concentration bleaching gel with additives such as potassium nitrate and fluoride?

New Delhi: Tiger Shroff's Baaghi 2, despite damp reviews, kept its hold on the box office steady. The film crossed the 100-core mark on the sixth day of its release, reports trade analyst Taran Adarsh. Baaghi 2, made on a budget of Rs 150 crore, now has Rs 104 crore in its pocket. "And Baaghi 2 hits a century... Rs 100 crore and counting... Third film to cross Rs 100 crore mark in 2018, after "Padmaavat" and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety," Taran Adarsh tweeted. Ajay Devgn's Raid collected Rs 98 crore (as of Tuesday) falling short of a few crores to make it to the cut. Tiger Shroff's film may have received weak reviews but thanks to his strong fan following, the film's business has been impressive.
- Tiger Shroff's film collected Rs 104 crore in six days
- It's the third film in 2018 to have crossed the 100-crore mark
- Baaghi 2 opened to damp reviews on march 30
Here's the day-wise break-up of Baaghi 2:
And #Baaghi2 hits a century cr and counting... Third film to cross 100 cr mark in 2018, after #Padmaavat and #SKTKS... Fri 25.10 cr, Sat 20.40 cr, Sun 27.60 cr, Mon 12.10 cr, Tue 10.60 cr, Wed 9.10 cr. Total: 104.90 cr. India biz.— taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) April 5, 2018
Baaghi 2 released to poor reviews on March 30 but it never affected the film's box office run. Scored the highest Day #1 collection and ranked #2 among 2018's top opening weekends. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee slammed it as a "2.5-hour stunt show" while Raja Sen wrote: "It is a long, painful film capable of giving audiences post-traumatic stress disorder."
Baaghi 2 is a remake of Telugu film Kshanam and second in the Baaghi film series. The first film released in 2106 and it featured Shraddha Kapoor opposite Tiger Shroff. The makers announced Baaghi 3 even before the release of Baaghi 2. However, the lead actress of Baaghi 3 hasn't been announced.
Baaghi 2, directed by Ahmed Khan, also featured Disha patani, Randeep Hooda and Manoj Bajpayee.

Ian Wright has joked he is no longer an Arsenal legend after his criticism of Mesut Ozil.
Wright is one of a number of former Gunners players to hit out at the German after a string of below-par displays this season.
Ozil responded during the international week and boss Arsene Wenger has criticised some of his former players - insisting they also had struggles during their careers.
Ozil was back on song against Bournemouth on Saturday as Arsenal picked up a much-needed win .
And Wright joked he is no longer revered in north London following his criticism.
"My legendary status got revoked by some people on Twitter. I told them about themselves," he said on Match of the Day.
"I'm not a legend anymore, apparently."
Asked if he would like to make amends with Arsenal fans, he responded: "I'm not shaking anyone's hand."
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Wenger said: "I always have problems understanding what a legend is and isn't. I've had all the players here, but they all had their weaknesses as well.
"They had their weak games as well, and their weak behaviours as well. Nobody was perfect.
"We have to take a distance with that as well, focus on our performance and not be dragged into any animosity.
"We are all grateful for what they have done for the club, but what matters is always the players on the pitch who can defend the pride of the club."

Game Time Decision Chips
A few weeks ago I had over-purchased on potatoes for a recipe I was working on and was left with 1 potato remaining. Since it was Sunday and my husband was watching the NFL playoffs, I decided to put that potato to use and make some homemade chips. I generally don't cook with salt, so wanted to give my chips flavor from other sources. I quickly took inventory of my spice cabinet and went with an herb flavor for my chips. This particular batch has ground rosemary sprinkled on top. I added a chipotle ketchup on the side for some added zing. They even took my husband's attention away from the playoffs for a few moments to enjoy them!
The beauty of these chips is you can make them your own with whatever spice/flavoring you want. Put that salt shaker down and get creative! These are great to enjoy on their own, or step up and add a low cal/low fat dipping sauce on the side.
These chips are low in fat and sodium while bursting with vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. Crunch into a batch today and impress your guests by serving them at your next party!
RECOMMENDED REGISTRY ITEMS: Mandoline, olive oil mister, and pastry brush
Game Time Decision Chips
- Extra virgin olive oil (for brushing)
- 1 medium potato with skin on (Idaho or Russet are best)
- Preheat the oven to 375°.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use a mandoline to cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1/8-inch thick slices (See Notes). Arrange the slices in 1 flat layer on the baking sheet.
- Using an olive oil mister, lightly spray the potato slices then go over with a pastry brush to evenly coat the slices (See Notes).
- Bake until golden throughout, 15-30 minutes, checking often since they brown at different rates.
- Transfer to paper towels and sprinkle with your seasoning of choice while still hot.
A mandoline will help create a thin shape for your chips, but if you don't have one, a good ol' fashioned chef knife will do.
If you don't have an olive oil mister, you can pour a little olive oil on to a plate and use a pastry brush to spread oil on to slices.
Recommended seasonings:
- Ground rosemary
- Old Bay Seasoning
- Fresh ground pepper
- Red pepper flakes
- Basil & garlic powder
- Onion powder & parsley
- Parmesan cheese & oregano
- Cinnamon (for your sweet tooth)
Dipping sauces:
- Chipotle ketchup (mix 2 TB ketchup with 2-3 tsp Tabasco Chipotle)
- Roasted red pepper (blend 1 puréed roasted red pepper with 2-4 TB Greek yogurt depending on desired thickness)
- Herby dip (mix 1/4 cup Greek yogurt with your favorite blend of spices such as basil, oregano, and parsley)

The Small Top
- Philip F Clark
- 7/23/19
This was so hard to watch without cringing most of the time. Awful script, sad use of some great actors (poor Peter Lorre), and an ending I could see from a mile away. Want a great circus film? Watch the much better 'The Greatest Show on Earth,' with Charlton Heston and Betty Hutton, and a superb performance by James Stewart as an on-the-lam accused murder. Far and away a better film, with edge-of-your-seat drama and a train wreck that is worthy of Barnum & Bailey. This was not the Big Top in any way.

One thing you can say about Irwin Allen, he always hired top production talent below the line. He used MGMs top department heads and Winton Hoch, producers be of the top Technicolor cameramen. I'm his number as photographed in an era when lots of light was required. The images in CinemaScope are incredibly good, not dark or underexposed in spite of very slow film stocks and lenses that demanded a lot of light. Victor Mature is very likable and a Red Buttons doesn't chew up all the scenery. Beautiful Rhonda Fleming and Bing Crosby's wife, Kathryn Grant are fantastic. I love the theme song written I think by Paul Sawtell who had a long career at American International. The worst is the blue screen tightrope walk across Niagra Falls. The technology just could not support that gag. Very well worth watching! I loved it as a kid in CinemaScope and Stereophonic sound!

The bland, generic title says it all. Aside from the offbeat casting of David Nelson as the psycho (a modern day equivalent would be Hillary Duff playing a satanist) and Vicent Price/Peter Lorre as good guys, there is nothing that stands out in this film, other than the crappy acting, from such masters of the form as Victor Mature, Rhonda Fleming (a poor man's Maureen O'Hara, and O'Hara's fairly mediocre) Kathryn Grant, and Gilbert Roland as well as the cheesy special effects (It's official. That's the fakest Niagra Falls scene ever seen) and the forgettable dialogue from the always banal Irving Wallace, among others. So, while this film is of historical interest as Irwin Allen's first timid foray into the disaster genre (it's got a flood, a fire, a train wreck and a runaway lion) it gets a solid C.
Very Entertaining Film!
- Raymond Banacki
- 12/15/15
Very enjoyable entertainment package, full of surprises, but, the best of all, was David Nelson as the criminally insane Tommy Gordon.
The Big Circus
- Bruce Reber
- 6/26/12
"The Big Circus" (1959) is a fine film from bargain-basement studio Allied Artists, which mostly produced low-budget crime dramas in black & white, of which the most famous is "Al Capone" starring Rod Steiger and one of my all-time favorite gangster films. TBC is a very lavish production in color, widescreen and with a spectacular cast featuring Victor Mature, Rhonda Fleming, Peter Lorre, Vincent Price, Gilbert Roland, Red Buttons, David Nelson and Kathryn Grant. The producer and screenwriter of TBC is Irwin Allen, who would produce the TV sci-fi shows "Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea" and "Lost In Space" in the 60's, and the blockbuster films "The Poseidon Adventure" (1972) and "The Towering Inferno" (1974), earning him the name "The Master of Disaster". TBC's almost as good as C.B. DeMille's circus classic "The Greatest Show On Earth" (1952). Please show it again soon TCM. I saw only the first 5 minutes and the last hour of TBC when it aired on Sunday night 6/24/12.

This a very good film that doesn't get a lot of publicity. I've seen it countless times on Sunday afternoons in the old days before cable. Pick it up..you'll enjoy the acting of Victor Mature, one of the old greats that doesn't get a lot of credit.
My 25-year wait is over!
- Dick Redman
- 9/3/09
Finally! I have searched for any kind of a copy of this movie for years. It has been since the 1980s that I have even seen it on television. What a great film, with both Peter Lore and David Nelson acting against type. Everyone does a superb job in their roles, and while it may not be the best circus film ever presented, it's got something for everyone. As a car-Buff, I even loved seeing Hank's Chrysler parade car from the late 50s. When was the last time (if ever) you saw one of those? Interestingly, I had read that one of the reasons the movie was never released was because of Gilbert Roland's scene walking across Niagara Falls on a wire. What, was this supposed to lure hapless fools into trying it themselves? Anyway, for whatever the reason, the wait was worth it!
Great Movie

I just love this movie and I would like TCM to show it on tv. It has been many, many years when I first saw this movie. I believe that the viewers would enjoy it. The movie has a lot of know actors.

The first time I saw this movie was withmy mother in 1959 at one of the great movie housesdowntown LA she loved the circus so muchand her favorite star in the movie wasvictor mature, beside the great curcus the movie had you on the edge of your seat, because it is also a "who done it"and has a great surprise ending. I would love for my children to see this, my mom got to go to the ringling brothers circusin 1989 before she passed away and takenmy grandchildren.

This Circus movie will bring back the child in you. It will make you remember all the little things about your childhood. It a classic. With a cast of greats like Victor Mature, Gilbert Roland, Randa Fleming, Vincent Price. It can't be anything but a classic. Please vote to get this movie available on DVD. You won't be sorry
The Best Circus Movie Ever
- Peter McGarvey
- 11/5/07
The Big Circus never takes itself seriously. It is a mixture of mystery, high adventure (tight rope walking across Niagara Falls) and comedy (Red Buttons and Peter Lorre.C.B. DeMille's Greatest Show on Earth may have unjustly won Oscars but The Big Circus is far more entertaining.If you would like to see the Big Circus on DVD please come to my blog http://www.gapopensource.com and express your views

as a big circus fan since i saw my first ringling bros at age 5 . vincent price & peter lorre refreshing not in really serious roles. more comedic at least for peter lorre.
A Great Family Movie
- 4/11/07
One of my all time favorites from my childhood. I great cast and a great plot. A circus owner fighting all the odds to stay in business. My favorite scene is Gilbert Roland wire walking across Niagra Falls.

Sending you some awesome today! I know how hard it is to keep it all together – so much to do with the big feast (Thanksgiving) and the holidays coming up…. not to mention all the running around – getting kids to their events, grocery shopping, laundry…. some days it feels like a thankless job. This one is for you!
The Pretty Little Studio Blooming Hearts collection is a mix of fresh geometrical prints and florals in bold colors. The yellow background paper is called Lovely Sunrise and the triangle print paper is Now You See Me.
I topped the papers with a 4″ Cambridge Doily to peek from underneath the die cut "Blooming" flowers. The wreath behind the florals is from Picture Perfect – a pack of frames, tabs and other embellishments.
The "you are awesome" sentiment is from another die cut pack called I Heart You. Some sparkle and shine always make me happy. I used some red and crystal clear to compliment the colors in the florals.
What a nice way to let someone know you think the world of them! Sometimes it's the little things that mean the most.

Amanda Knox Breaks Her Silence
(CNN) – After nearly two years, Amanda Knox is breaking her silence.
The American college student convicted and then acquitted for her roommate's murder is telling her side of the story.
Elizabeth Corridan brings us highlights from Knox's first sit-down TV interview since her release from prison.
Amanda Knox returned to Seattle in 2011 and retreated into a very private, protected life.
The American college student who was convicted and later acquitted in the brutal murder of her roommate in Italy… Is speaking out about her legal nightmare overseas.
Knox sat down with ABC's Diane Sawyer for an exclusive interview.
I want the truth to come out. I'd like to be reconsidered as a person. What happened to me was surreal. But it could've happened to anyone.
Knox spent four years in an Italian prison and endured a very public, very painful trial — and the appeal that followed.
It's one thing to be called certain things in the media and another thing to be sitting in the courtroom fighting for your life while people are calling you a devil.
A legal battle that is not over.
In march, Italy's Supreme Court ordered Knox to stand trial again.
It was incredibly painful. I felt like, after crawling through a field of barbed wire and finally reaching what I thought was the end, it just turned out that it was just the horizon and I had another field of barbed wire that I had ahead of me to crawl through.
Knox chronicles her ordeal in a book, based in part on journals she kept while in jail.
I'm Elizabeth Corridan reporting.
It is still unclear whether or not Knox will be forced to return to Italy to face a retrial.

Children wait hoping for a safe departure, the dead are counted, and appeals for aid echo around the globe. Tacloban has been flattened. So too has the will of many caught in the eye of this storm.
Hundreds of thousands have been left homeless. The personal stories emerging from the Philippines disaster are harrowing. Getting help and escaping the carnage it seems is a lottery. Anger is simmering.
"Look at my children, we have nothing to eat, no fresh clothes. Others who just arrived got into the plane. We did not die in the typhoon but we will die here of hunger," said one father waiting at the airport. A mother explained, "We waited in line because there were a lot of dead bodies where we were staying. My children were starting to get sick because of the smell."
For those not on the planes which are managing to leave Tacloban the future is uncertain with forecasters predicting no respite from the weather as a new system of heavy rain and winds head for the island nation.
Among the wreckage bodies are constantly being uncovered and the daily total of those who have died revised. One aid worker said two out of every five bodies she saw in Tacloban was that of a child.
The Philippines government has raised the official death toll from the typhoon to 1,744 people but the number is expected to be much higher with authorities estimating 10,000 or more across a vast region of the country. Officials say just under 2,500 have been injured.
One eye witness of the monster storm said: "It sounded like a pig being slaughtered."
Creating order and bringing assistance to the ravaged archipelago is an urgent priority.

Apple and IBM this week delivered the first fruit of a joint venture designed to offer cloud-supported analytics apps crafted for the enterprise and built for Apple's iPhone and iPad product lines.
IBM MobileFirst for iOS solutions, which take advantage of IBM's deep roots in the business enterprise, are tailored for professional users in government, banking, retail, insurance, financial services, telecommunications and the airline industries, the two firms announced.
The partnership leverages IBM's industry expertise and Apple's rapport with end users and attention to product design, the companies said.
"What we're delivering aims directly at the new quest of business – smart technologies that unlock new value at the intersection of big data and individual engagement," said Bridget van Kralingen, senior vice president, IBM Global Business Services.

The Case Advice app addresses workload and support among caseworkers who are making decisions on the go. The solution adjusts case priorities based on real-time analytics-driven insights, and it assesses risk based on predictive analysis.
Incident Aware converts an iPhone into a crime prevention tool, giving law enforcement officers with real-time access to maps and video feeds of incident locations, information about victim status and crime history as well as improved ability to call for backup and supporting services.
Two apps for airline employees are Plan Flight, which addresses fuel management, the major expense of all airlines, and Passenger+ that lets flight crews offer more sophisticated travel services to passengers during a flight.
For banking industry users, Advise & Grow gives bankers mobile, secure authorization to access client profiles, gather analytics-based insights to make personalized recommendations and complete secure transactions. Trusted Advice allows advisors to manage client portfolios with predictive analytics.

Detention Center Guard: Falun Gong Practitioners Are Good People
(Minghui.org) I am an elderly Falun Gong practitioner in China. I was detained in a detention center for more than 19 months.
The detention center was housed in an old building that was in poor condition. I was in a small cell with almost 20 inmates. Everyone slept on one large bed, which was crowded. When someone went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, the space was gone when the person returned.
Retaining the Demeanor of a Practitioner
I am not a good conversationalist, did not argue with anyone in the center and lacked the ability to talk eloquently about Falun Gong. Thus, I tried to show the beauty of this cultivation practice through my actions.
Most likely, my kindness moved those I came in contact with, and we became very close. Whenever they encountered difficulties, they talked with me about whatever bothered them. I tried to retain the demeanor of a practitioner.
I told everyone about Falun Gong's foundational principles of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance," the benefits one derives from the practice or even just believing in its goodness. They all agreed with me.
Nothing to Be Afraid Of
As the cell was so crowded, everyone was worried about infectious diseases. Some people thus took a shower daily. This was not a problem during the summer, but in the winter it was.
The bathroom was small, and only had a curtain as a door. The window was always open, and the water was cold. I also took showers, but was told that I was too old for that, as I could get sick when it was cold.
I said that I had not been sick for many years, and had not needed any medication. I kept thoughts in my mind that I had Master, the founder of Falun Gong, so there was nothing that I was afraid of.
Because I had Falun Gong in my heart, my words and actions touched those around me. After some time, even the guards heard about me.
Falun Gong Is Wonderful
A guard said that I had not come down with even a cold since I had arrived in this center. I confirmed his remark and told him that he certainly would have known about it because he was in charge of the medication and doctor visits.
"Falun Gong practitioners truly don't get sick," I said. "Master takes care of them. Let's talk about me, I was rather ill before I turned 40 because of years of hardships. I saw many doctors and none could cure my illnesses."
I continued, "Then I found Falun Gong, and my life and health took a turn for the better. So think about it, how could I give up such a great practice? We are not children, and we cannot be easily deceived. Falun Gong is indeed so wonderful."
He asked me why he had not seen me do the exercises, and I told them that I did the sitting meditation when I am on duty every night. I go on duty for others because they do not like to be on duty at night.
He was shocked, "Just doing meditation can be that useful?"
"Yes, as long as you hold good thoughts about this cultivation practice in your heart."
On my way out from his office, I told him in a soft voice, "If you want to learn Falun Gong, just find practitioners."
He nodded his head and said that he had come down with a severe cold four times during the past two months and each time had to get an IV.
He said, "I have seen several dozens of Falun Gong practitioners here and I can tell that they are all good people, including you."
Because of Falun Gong practitioners righteous thoughts and actions, many guards in detention centers no longer believe the lies about Falun Gong, publicized by the Chinese Communist Party. They know real situation behind the persecution and thus no longer participate in it.

Junior Thomas DePoalo scored two of Stonehill's five third period goals tonight as the Skyhawks came back to beat SNHU, 8-5.
Seven Skyhawks record multiple points in comeback victory
FOXBORO, Mass. (February 7, 2015) – The Stonehill College ice hockey team scored five times in the third period to turn a one-goal deficit into an 8-5 victory over Southern New Hampshire University this evening in Northeast-10 Conference men's ice hockey action at the Foxboro Sports Center.
Southern New Hampshire led 4-2 after twenty minutes of action, before Stonehill got one goal back in the second period and outscored the Penmen 5-1 in the third. The Skyhawks have now scored 17 goals in their last two games, after defeating Assumption College 9-1 on Wednesday night. Stonehill improves its unbeaten record at home this season to 7-0-3, and the Skyhawks are 17-0-1 in their last 18 regular season NE-10 contests.
Junior forward Richard Harris (Grand Island, New York/Valley Jr. Warriors) led the late Stonehill surge with three points on a goal and two assists, all of which came in the third period. Classmate Dan Graham (Billerica, Massachusetts/Williston Northampton) was among the seven Skyhawks to record multiple points with his three assists, and junior Thomas DePoalo (Mendham, New Jersey/Morristown Beard School) found the back of the net twice in the final 20 minutes.
Juniors Travis Army (Englewood, Colorado/Worcester Academy) and Garrett White (Wakefield, Massachusetts/Boston Bulldogs) totaled two points each on one goal and one assist, while classmate Robbie Dorgan (Ossining, New York/Boston Bulldogs) and freshman Brendan White (North Reading, Massachusetts/Kimball Union Academy) chipped in with two helpers each.
Making his first start of the season in net, junior Patrick Farrington (Sandwich, Massachusetts/Bridgton Academy) made nine saves but allowed four goals in his one period of work. Senior Chris Tasiopoulos (Norwell, Massachusetts/Thayer Academy) took over at the start of the second period and stopped 14 shots in 15 opportunities as Stonehill fought back to earn a season sweep against the Penmen.
Southern New Hampshire was led by senior Dane Caracino (Belmont, Massachusetts/New Hampton School), who totaled four points on two goals and two assists. Junior Joe Collins (Mansfield, Massachusetts/Saint Michael's College) scored and added a pair of assists, while sophomore Jay Sylvia (Acuchnet, Massachusetts/South Shore Kings) and senior Bryan Wright (Reading, Massachusetts/N.H. Junior Monarchs) chipped in with two points each.
Penmen freshman netminder Matthew MacInnis (Arlington, Texas/Wilkes-Barre Scranton Knights) made a game-high 33 saves, including 13 in the third period.
Southern New Hampshire took a quick lead this evening with a two-goal flurry five minutes into the contest. Sophomore defenseman Michael Busconi (Watertown, Massachusetts/Winchendon School) beat Farrington with a slap shot from beyond the blue line at the 5:24 mark, and 17 seconds later Collins and Sylvia connected with Caracino for his tenth goal of the season to give the Penmen a 2-0 lead.
Stonehill answered on the power play 12:29 into the first on a slap shot from the right circle by Garrett White, but the Penmen regained their two-goal lead less than a minute later when Caracino netted his second of the night, also with a man advantage.
Junior Kevin Airoldi (Kennebunk, Maine/Boston Jr. Rangers) scored on a feed from Graham at the 15:09 mark, but Southern New Hampshire would enter the locker room for the first intermission leading 4-2 after Sylvia's power play tally 1:26 later.
After nearly 20 minutes of scoreless action, Army snapped the drought with his fourth goal of the season 16:37 into the second period to bring Stonehill back to within a goal. Southern New Hampshire was called for five penalties in the middle period, and the Penmen were outshot 12-6.
Stonehill pulled even just 42 seconds into the third, as junior defenseman Scott Rolph (Bow, New Hampshire/Tilton School) fired a shot from the point and DePoalo tipped it past MacInnis for his fifth goal of the season. Harris gave the Skyhawks their first lead on a wrist shot from the left circle at the 7:54 mark, and classmate Connor Fallon (Weymouth, Massachusetts/South Shore Kings) scored on a shot from the blue line less than two minutes later to make the score 6-4.
Stonehill, which put 18 shots on net in the third period, continued to attack, resulting in DePoalo's second goal of the period with 7:27 left in the game. Junior Anthony D'Elia (Stamford, Connecticut/Gunnery School) scored the sixth straight Skyhawk goal on the power play at the 15:56 mark, and Collins added another for the Penmen in the closing minutes.
Stonehill finished the game with four power play goals in nine opportunities, while Southern New Hampshire went 2-for-4 with a man advantage. The Skyhawks also held a 41-28 edge in shots and were whistled for six penalties to the Penmen's 11.
Following tonight's contest, Stonehill (12-5-3, 6-0-1 NE-10) will hit the road on Tuesday night for a key conference showdown at Saint Anselm College. Southern New Hampshire (9-11-1, 3-7-0 NE-10) is set to wrap up its NE-10 slate on Tuesday at home against Franklin Pierce University, before hosting SUNY Canton for a pair of games next weekend.

Important Points To Consider When Choosing A Dentist
It could be the regular teeth checkup that everyone should be doing so that in case something pops up then the dentist will be able to recognize it earlier. They would want to fill up their dental cavity. The dentist that you will choose will determine the experience that you will have therefore it will be better if you want wisely.
You might be lucky to have chosen one that will not disappoint you, but for you to remove the doubts then it will be better if you take your time and choose a dentist that you are sure about.
If you do not have the aim then you will get that you are choosing the wrong person for the wrong work. Below are important things that you should consider when choosing a dentist. Therefore if it a problem with the gum then you should look for a dentist that has specialized with that because not all know that.
Therefore you should consider a dentist who has qualified in that field. Also they should be well experienced in that field as that will make you be at peace. That will clear your doubts, and you will know who you are employing.
The dentist also should be licensed as that will show how serious they are in their work. In case of something going wrong during the surgery then the insurance company will sort the issue out. You will have nothing to lose because you were under the care of that dentist.
Choose a dentist that is in the same town as you are. You will not have to waste a lot of time and money going to visit them since they will be near. The dentist should have a good reputation around the area that you are staying. They will be glad to share their experiences and guide you through.
There are those that look welcoming when you meet with them, but when treating you, they become something else different. Therefore they should not all be trusted. If the environment is well organized and clean then am sure that is a place that you would consider.
Consider a dentist who will charge you at a fair amount. Therefore you need to be on a budget so that you can know the amount you want to spend on the dental checkups. Let the dentist be one that is genuine with the amount they are asking for the work they will be doing. It is essential to read through their website as it will give you a lot of information.

Even though I stick primarily with watercolors, yesterday's Art Talk about oil painting, materials, techniques and framing proved quite interesting. Barb Tobiska led a lively discussion among the seven of us attending. Proficiency ranged from beginner to advanced, but we all learned something new.
In talking about paint brands, Barb wowed us with some unbelievably high prices for certain colors in a Dick Blick catalog. But don't let that scare you off as everyone had their own affordable preferred manufacturers, from Grumbacher, Winsor and Newton, to the water based oil paint made by Holbein that Cindy Ahrenkiel uses. One thing Barb Tobiska stressed is to know your own colors. Many beginners buy so many different colors, but don't know what they have when it comes time to paint. I know I'm guilty of those spontaneous purchases of beautiful new hues offered by Daniel Smith, Cheap Joe's or other online catalogs. Barb held up color charts she'd made of all her paints, arranged by color and temperature (cool to warm). That way, when you're needing a certain hue for your current painting project, it's easy to refer to your charts.
So many mediums are now available to mix with oil paints. Glazes, binders, gels, waxes and varnishes can make colors more transparent, give an even sheen to a finished work and protect your masterpiece. When these additives are mixed in, it is prudent to employ a heavier substrate. Canvases vary substantially, in texture, in weight and in quality of stretching (if pre-stretched). Be sure to check for unwanted pockets in the corners, or if a canvas is stretched too loosely. Pre-mounted canvas on masonite is another option.
When it comes to framing an oil painting, what is acceptable? Is it necessary to use a frame? The general consensus was that unframed canvases are acceptable as long as the edges are painted and no staples or nails show. Deep stretchers are preferable and look more professional than thin stretchers. At one time, ornate gold frames with linen liners were the norm – not so much any more. Metal, wood or composite can all look nice, although composite frames tend to chip easily and don't always hold screw eyes firmly. Dust covers on the back really aren't required for oil paintings and tend to easily rip during transport. If the choice is made to frame an oil painting, it must be done properly, as a poor framing job (damaged frames, chipped glass, improper hanging hardware) can be reason for rejection by a juror.
There's always something interesting and educational going on at the Lakewood Arts Council Community Center and Gallery. Check the website www.lakewoodartscoucil.org to see what's coming up next!

If you go for brunch, which you should if you live in (or visit) Toronto, do you go for sweet or savoury?
I will go for savoury 95% of the time (unless I am at Le Petit Dejeuner for waffles).
However, I somewhat recently was given 3 lovely jars of Bonne Maman jam at a fabulous blogger brunch party at the Tempered Room. The food — despite being sweet — was incredible, the jams were bright and fruity, and the company was inspiring. But, I rarely use jam, so what was I going to do with it?
Then it came to me: make a savoury dish that would be nice with a sweeter sauce.
Fig jam is my favourite jam to use in savoury recipes, although others can be really nice as well.
Figs go especially well with chicken. For this recipe I bought bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. They are very economical, and I am still officially a student for the next month and a half (almost there!). Plus, having rarely bought skin-on chicken thighs, I did not realize how ridiculously easy they are to "de-skin."
You literally just put your figure under the skin and pull it off. It comes easily. No need to pay someone to do that for you! Although, as I eat a lot of vegetarian meals, handling the meat this way took a little getting used to. You could always bribe (with delicious chicken) someone else to do it for you.
Since I started testing out this recipe, my jam has been disappearing rather quickly. I think I am going to get an apricot one to experiment with next.
This recipe is also a fabulous excuse to open a nice bottle of wine to enjoy with dinner. Especially considering you only have to give up 2 tbsp of it.
I don't buy nice wine for myself often at the moment, but my favourite red wine is J. Lohr Seven Oaks cabernet sauvignon. What's yours? I am always looking to try something new.
- 4 chicken thighs, skins removed
- 2 tbsp red wine
- 2 - 2.5 tbsp fig jam
- 1 scant tbsp fresh chopped rosemary (or thyme)
- 1 large garlic clove, crushed
- salt and pepper
- cooking oil
- Mix wine, fig jam, rosemary, & garlic until well blended, set aside
- Grease a small pan (with a WELL fitting lid that just fits chicken comfortably), & heat over medium-high heat
- Sprinkle chicken with salt & pepper, & brown for 2 min per side in the hot pan
- Reduce heat to medium (or medium-low if your stove runs hot)
- Spoon fig & wine sauce over chicken thighs, cover immediately, & cook for 7 min
- Remove lid, flip chicken (coating it in the sauce) & cook for 2 min more, increase heat a bit to thicken sauce if needed
- Check to ensure your chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 F
- Serve with a whole grain and roasted vegetables or a summer salad
