Cokin has announced a complete overhaul of the branding and packaging of its square filters. The existing different-sized ranges ( 'A', 'P', 'Z-Pro' and 'X-Pro') have been rebranded into a single 'Creative Filter System', with the four sizes relabelled 'S', 'M', 'L' and 'XL'. Gone are the old bulky plastic storage boxes too, replaced by a slimmer 'SlidePack' design which takes up half the space, and uses a microfibre-lined sleeve to help keep your filters clean. Photographers nostalgic for the good old days can breathe a sigh of relief though - old classics such as Tobacco Grads and Sunset filters are still in the catalogue.

Stayed at this lovely family run hotel because of free parking for our vehicle but was not
disappointed. Stayed on the 2nd floor with lovely views of the countryside, rooms were clean
& modern, with extensive buffet breakfast included. It was a 15minute walk into town centre
of Bellagio for dining & shopping. Our favourite pizza restaurant was Carillon situated down
near the waters edge. Highly recommend an all day ferry pass (A$15ea) to explore the 5
villages on Lake Como.

Human beings take a sanguine view of the long-term future, believing that life will take care of itself. It is the immediate future that bothers us more. In his famous book, Thinking Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman documents the human tendency to emphasize the 'peak-end' experience rather than the average experience over its duration".
According to Kahneman, human beings are inclined towards what they refer to as "the instant high". Consequently, we prefer decisions that improve the short-term prospects, even at the cost of creating fundamental, structural long-term problems.
The financial crisis of 2008 was rooted in overleveraging and excessive risk taking. Despite clear evidence having emerged of high, unsustainable levels of debt, the financial markets kept encouraging more and more risky debt.
Post crisis, when reduction of interest rates has not succeeded, central banks have introduced negative interest rates. When QE1 (Quantitative Easing1) did not have the desired effect, we had the QE2 and QE3. When the first Greece bail-out did not succeed due to lack of fiscal discipline, providing a financial relief package was considered more critical than getting that country to avoid financial profligacy. It was only German insistence on financial discipline that prevented European Central Bank (ECB) insanity. Such examples can be easily multiplied manifold.
Ideas to resolve a specific problem often get abused through inappropriate application to different scenarios, purely based on convenience. The most abused proposition has, of course, been that of providing fiscal stimulus as a onetime palliative to overcome the recession in the 1930s.
Keynes had proposed fiscal stimulus as a onetime solution to a specific problem that confronted the global economy, but never as a generic antidote to underutilization of economic capacity. The proposition has, however, been used to justify persistent fiscal deficits the world over to such an extent that such pump priming has become almost a moral duty of governments. This, of course, is music to the ears of the politicians who can merrily engage in indiscriminate spending, without any qualms. Why worry about the long term implications such a policy may have? We can always take recourse, again inappropriately, to another contextually specific statement from the great man (Keynes, of course) that in the long run we are all dead!
There is a case here for a concept, which economists have termed as 'moral hazard'. Moral hazard refers to any situation where one person takes decisions about how much risk to take and someone else bears the cost if things go wrong. Insurance is an area where moral hazard is a common phenomenon. We are likely to take better care of an asset that is not insured, compared to an asset, which we have insured. Similarly, insurance of deposits encourages banks to take greater risks in investment. They enjoy higher returns on investments; whereas being insured, the tab for any losses is picked up by the insurance companies.
As often happens in governance, the impact of a policy, good or bad, manifests itself only after a lag, by which time the government may have changed and the costs are borne by the new occupant. Alan Greenspan was not around to pick up the tab for his eventually rather disastrous policies that were responsible for the financial crisis. Nor was the cost of the financial crisis paid by the bankers and the shareholders of banks, but by the public at large in the form of government bailout, which in itself has created significant moral hazard.
Choices we make now come back to haunt us later. Support for dictatorships at various times has reduced the credibility of the US. Going to war against Saddam Hussain, without sufficient proof of possession of chemical weapons, has turned a large part of the Muslim community against the US and the western countries. The current terrorist activities are, in some sense, an outcome of such policies. Lower savings may increase demand temporarily but the long-term impact will be reduced investments and inflation. Ignoring climatic concerns today jeopardises the future of the planet and our children. Pump priming by the government may help generate demand in the current recessionary conditions but comes back to bite later with higher inflation and unsustainable debt. One of the major reasons the world has not been able to recover completely, even eight years after the financial crisis, is the inability to deleverage and relying on politically palatable, loose monetary policy rather than tougher structural changes.
Ultimately, the future of mankind will be determined by the choices we make. Do we continue to succumb to the easier and expedient policies or does humanity have the courage to abide by basic principles and values that may be a little inconvenient but have stood the test of time.

Dilution of values: Has the wisdom lost its sanctity in economics?

After a weekend in the country it's back to the buzz of central London. Walking into the office brings me straight back to the heart of the action, and there's a very busy week in prospect. We've had a great September, and the lettings market is showing no signs of stopping.
After our morning meeting to review offers and viewings for the week ahead, we ring round the customers who have made recent enquiries. One phone call leads to an appointment in Soho with an applicant I've been working with for a couple of weeks. As expected, she and her friend love the apartment — resulting in an offer and a very happy landlord.
A sunny day sets the telephone ringing with prospective tenants starting their search for a new place. In particular we have a lot of students just now who are looking for apartments to share with their friends.
Staying on the line to one particularly chatty girl makes me late for an appointment on the other side of Covent Garden. The next meeting takes me into Mayfair to see a would-be tenant who has just flown in from the Middle East to view a beautiful two-bedroom flat. He falls in love with it and promptly places an offer. Another day, another deal.
Today brings good news from a relocation agent whose client has increased their offer, which the landlord is of course delighted to accept. This perfect start to the day is followed by several viewings with applicants who have all just started their searches. This is a great opportunity to show them what is currently on the market and to talk them through the letting process, so that when they find the home they want they are ready to move quickly. Finishing my viewings for the day with sore feet, I limp back to the office to catch up on my paperwork.
An early appointment with a relocation agent starts off the day with one apartment in Holborn ticking all the boxes. They have a lot of other properties to see during the day, but I'm confident mine will remain the favourite!
I then run to Soho (in the pouring rain) to meet a tenant. I'm halfway there when I get a text through saying he can't make it and could we rearrange? So I use the gap in my day to pick up lunch from a stall in Berwick Street Market: nothing keeps a busy lettings agent going like a huge pulled pork roll! This afternoon I hear from the relocation agent, and their client would like to place an offer. After a spot of intense negotiation the offer is accepted.
I'm off to complete a tandem skydive for the charity Unicef with two colleagues. The motorway drive thankfully sees a break in the clouds with some blue sky, surely this is a good sign! Arriving at the airfield we sign in and are ushered into a hangar to be talked through safety and what positions we need to take, resulting in us adopting the "brace position" and giggling on the floor!
We settle in to wait our turn to jump, which gives me time to wonder how I got talked into this. Soon enough my name is called, I zip up my jumpsuit and harness, and my instructor gets us on to the plane. Once we reach 13,000ft the doors are opened, my instructor shuffles us to the edge of the plane and as I'm starting to doubt my sanity he pushes us out and we're diving through the clouds. Before I know it we've landed and I'm still shaking from the adrenaline rush. Sometimes being a central London lettings agent is a pretty thrilling job!

Soda May Soon Be Taxed Everywhere In The World
Cities across the U.S. are already approving such measures.
ORIGINAL POST: October 12, 2016 at 5:23 p.m.
For years soda has been linked to health detriments like cavities, weight gain, and even cancer. And now the World Health Organization (WHO) is taking action against the sugary drink and others like it, urging governments across the globe to implement a tax on the sweet stuff.
In a new report, WHO underlines policies that aim to improve diet and prevent lifestyle-related diseases, especially diabetes and obesity. "If governments tax products like sugary drinks, they can reduce suffering and save lives. They can also cut healthcare costs and increase revenues to invest in health services," Dr. Douglas Bettcher, said in a press release.
But WHO doesn't stop there, it specifies that a 20 to 50 percent tax would work best and that it should not be limited to soda—sports drinks, energy drinks, fruit punch, sweetened iced tea, vitamin waters, and lemonade would be included as well. With such a steep price hike, consumers will buy—and therefore consume—fewer sugary drinks.
Meanwhile, the International Council of Beverages Associations, which represents drink makers all over the world, unsurprisingly disagrees. "We strongly disagree with the committee's recommendation to tax beverages, as it is an unproven idea that has not been shown to improve public health based on global experiences to date," the organization said in a statement.
In the U.S., soft drink policies are already taking effect. Philadelphia passed a tax on sweetened beverages earlier this year while in Berkeley, CA a tax on sugary drinks passed with 75 percent of the vote, the Los Angeles Times notes. Similar measures are also on the ballot this year in San Francisco and Oakland, CA, NPR reports. On the flip side, a proposed tax on jumbo-size sugary drinks in New York City was overturned by a New York State judge, a decision that was then cemented by the New York State Court of Appeals.
But WHO fully understands a worldwide movement will be a slow and steady battle. "The beverage industry will do everything it can to avoid taxes, using the same well-financed — and well recognized — scare tactics used by the tobacco industry," the organization wrote in the report, but noted that this "can be overcome with a well-planned campaign involving a broad coalition of supporters … and sufficient resources."
UPDATE: November 9, 2016 at 12:53 p.m.
After the chaotic election came to a close last night, multiple cities across the country moved forward with a sugary drink tax. The Wall Street Journal reports that voters in Albany, NY; San Francisco; and Oakland, CA approved measures that adds a one-cent-per-ounce tax on sugar-heavy drinks like soda and sports and energy drinks, and even tea. Meanwhile in Boulder, CO, the tax will be two cents per ounce.
Likely due to strong opposition from the American Beverage Association, these were close votes. According to WSJ, 62 percent of residents in San Francisco favored the tax, 61 percent favored the tax in Oakland, 71 percent favored in Albany, and just 54 percent approved in Boulder.
Only time will tell if more cities—or perhaps entire states—follow suit in the future.

Mark Steel's column "You're not unemployed – you lack self-reliance" (5 July) is a masterclass in misinformation and sanctimonious fury.
If I'd read Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, he says, I'd scream: "Why are some idiots giving the unemployed a box of fruit. That's only teaching them to be reliant."
Perhaps if Steel spent a day in my Rochdale constituency seeing what we do, he wouldn't be making wisecracks.
We work with some of the most desperate people. Fighting terrible Atos rulings, helping reinstate people's benefits after they've wrongly been suspended, getting payday-loan companies to stop taking money out of people's accounts after debts have long been paid, and housing people who are destitute.
At least once a month I sit with someone who breaks down in tears.
Many politicians are grappling with these problems and staring hard into the face of destitution and desperation. That I recognise that state support can't always solve everything and politicians have a responsibility to promote hard work makes the futile leftists that Clem Attlee warned about positively apoplectic.
They need to realise that the Labour Party of social security is also the party of social empowerment. We shouldn't just battle the bosses for better rights but also encourage people to become their own boss. I don't believe in patronising poor people and I've no truck with champagne socialists who salve their conscience by leaving people trapped on benefits.
Most people don't want to be on benefits. They want to be free from the state and they need confidence and encouragement. Self-reliance. "To find yourself, think for yourself," said Socrates,
Steel wondered if I'd read Steinbeck. I have, thanks. But has he read Tom Wolfe's The New Journalism? Wolfe's target is the literary gentlemen with a seat in the grandstand. Essayists, he said, should come down from the grandstand and listen to people.
When Steel descends from his lofty perch, what he hears might shake his world of militant dogma. People want opportunity not facile opposition. The stakes have never been higher for politicians, and the challenges are huge.
It's time for Steel to stop grandstanding and get real.

Yes, you can judge a child by their name
In the wake of Katie Hopkins being branded an "insufferable snob" for her attitude on children's names, I would like to say that I have been a secondary school teacher for over 20 years and there is no doubt in my mind that there are certain names that are associated with challenging behaviour and attitudes.
If I see a Kial/Kyle on the register, I know he is likely (not definitely) to be a child who presents a less-than-positive attitude.
Is this prejudice? No. Because of the two dozen boys named Kial/Kyle whom I have taught, only one presented anything approaching a positive, cooperative mindset; the vast majority were difficult and often overtly insolent and calculatedly disruptive.
Other warning signs are common names that do not have the traditional spelling or children named after what I can only assume to be the place where they were conceived.
Of course, children are predominantly a product of the environment in which they are raised, It is not a self-fulfilling prophecy that a child with a certain name turns out to be difficult; their behaviour is merely a manifestation of the values they have absorbed from parents who gave them that name.
Having said all that, I was touched recently when a particularly difficult Kyle, now grown up and working in a supermarket, ran up to me when I went to shop there and made a sincere apology for his attitude and behaviour, saying that he now regrets it and realises that I was a good teacher just trying to do my job.
In teaching, the rewards are not always immediate.

Kids are hi-tech – get over it
Those who complain about people using portable phones in their presence do not appreciate our ability and desire to fill our lives interestingly.
If my grandchildren, while visiting and photographing me for their future autobiographies, did not text their friends, watch TV, read a recently downloaded ebook, listen to music on headphones, have a meal and plan their next activity, I should be disappointed that they were not up to date with recent technologies and getting lazy. I adjust to them.
GD Morris, Port Talbot
The critique of boorish mobile phone users has so far focused on individual rudeness, without considering the roots of this in a selfishly atomised, profit-obsessed social climate that affects corporate behaviour as much as it does personal.
It's this that underlies the tedious – for many, quite unpleasant – artificial exchange that paying at a supermarket till has become, geared as it is to suit the corporation, in that the essential aim, hidden beneath the autocued speech and confected politeness, is usually to get to track customers' purchases.
Perhaps the best response lies simply in raising awareness. When nagged about a "loyalty" card for the n-hundredth time, it's no use being rude back – much better a friendly smile along with a simple "I leave data gathering to GCHQ".

Not just bad law but racism too
Against the advice of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, Theresa May is going to make khat an illegal drug.
Khat is used, almost exclusively, by Somalian, Eritrean and Yemeni communities in the UK, the majority of whom are Muslim. Their religion forbids the use of alcohol, and they choose to use khat, which has been proved scientifically to be less harmful than alcohol, with no link to the aggression associated with the latter. Now they are going to be punished if they continue to do so.
Our drug laws not only ignore science but now target particular races. Isn't that illegal?

Maybe the world needs more porn
Hannah Pool and Sara Neill (letter, 5 July) appear to believe that all of the iniquitous treatment that women suffer is caused by pornography.
The countries of the Middle East, central and sub-contintental Asia, and east Africa are home to some of the most vile abuse and oppression of women: women may not drive, may not leave their home without a male relative as chaperone, are subject to acid attacks for spurning male advances, have their genitals mutilated in childhood, and are shot for attempting to get an education. And in all these places, access to pornography is proscribed or very difficult.
If Hannah Pool and Sara Neill are correct, these porn-free lands should be beacons of female emancipation. Perhaps what these countries need is more, not less, pornography. Maybe a liberal attitude to the naked human (both genders) goes hand in hand with a more progressive attitude to equality.
Barry Richards, Cardiff
In the 1970s I used to buy Playgirl, which had a centrefold of a naked man, for the women who worked in my hair salon.
We kept it in the staff room so as not to offend customers. On one occasion it got out into the salon and we had to watch horrified as an elderly, unmarried lady, sitting under a hairdryer, began unfolding the centre page. She held it in front of her for a moment then carefully folded it up again, unaware we had all been watching.
It would seem that pictures of naked men don't have the same effect on women that pictures of naked women have on men.

As a female friend once said to me: "A naked woman is sexy; a naked man is funny."

Women players deserve better
You published three articles on 5 July covering the women's Wimbledon semi-finals. Nick Bollettieri, a non-journalist, wrote about Flipkens the athlete.
Kevin Garside and James Lawton, providing the "real" journalism, introduced their articles with a breathtakingly casual sexism that patronised and condescended, even while pretending to do otherwise.
Please, skip the strange framing of the content (Lawton's piece intros with how one could be condescending about women's tennis, and Garside about Marion Bartoli's being an "unlikely siren") and get to coverage of the matches and the athletes.
The numerous pieces on the male tennis players start off where they should – with athletes and performance.
Rose-Marie Barbeau, Rothesay, Isle of Bute
Let women tennis players play five sets. This year's Wimbledon women's final was about nothing other than nerves. Lisicki reached rock bottom, she flicked the switch in her mind... and I have no doubt that we could have seen an epic five-set match. I feel robbed, and so should Bartoli and Lisicki. I firmly believe no one would have enjoyed it more than them. So come on. Give us the best tennis anyone has never seen.

Ancient Stones
I could never see the attraction of the Rolling Stones. Not really rock'n'roll – more establishment.
Watching the almost-embalmed may give youngsters a weird idea of what was actually swinging in the much-hyped Sixties.
Just tell them the Stones were pre-colour TV, pre-computers, pre-mobiles and pre-CDs to give some idea of just how ancient they are – and that the Glastonbury revellers were contributing to Sir Mick's pension fund.

Royal peacocks
It is a little hard of Alexander Fury ("The power dresser", 6 July) to say the British monarchy has always been "far from the vagaries of style". Charles II was as much a peacock as his contemporary Louis XIV. Edward VII popularised the dinner jacket and leaving the bottom button of his waistcoat undone – in a nod to his podginess. And Edward VIII was a fashion icon whom we have to thank for the Windsor knot.

Brooklyn Restaurants Going Live With the Sound of Music
By THOMAS MORGAN
Published: October 17, 1988
The band's singer crooned his version of the Dinah Washington classic, ''What a Difference a Day Makes,'' and, as if hearing from an old familiar friend, the restaurant's patrons murmured with approval. Nanette Peraino and Larry Holder sat holding hands at the bar and sipped red wine in the candlelight. Occasionally, they broke their romantic huddle to applaud the band.
At the Clover Hill restaurant in Brooklyn Heights, food has always been the main order of business, but that is not necessarily true anymore. After years of conceding live music to Manhattan, the Clover Hill and a growing number of Brooklyn establishments have found that it pays to have a band. Largely propelled by the overturning of New York City's restrictive cabaret law, live music is spreading in Brooklyn, and newer restaurants with names like Cousins, Anna Banana and 200 Fifth are all boasting of bands.
''About seven to eight years ago, I only knew of two restaurants that offered live music,'' said Chuck Reichenthal, program and public relations director of BACA/the Brooklyn Arts Council, a nonprofit organization that is a clearinghouse for Brooklyn performers. ''Today there are more than 20 restaurants around downtown Brooklyn that offer live band music, mostly jazz.'' A Dramatic Impact
The court-ordered nullification earlier this year of provisions of the city's 1926 cabaret law, which had been intended to control speakeasies, allowed restaurants for the first time to offer bands with more than three musicians playing at a time. Throughout the city, particularly in Manhattan, restaurants have begun to offer live jazz and other musical entertainment because of the changes in the law.
But the impact has been particularly dramatic in Brooklyn, in areas like Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope and Fort Greene, where young professionals have moved in droves in recent years. Residents hungry for neighborhood entertainment have found musical alternatives without cover charges, ranging from classical to jazz, blues and salsa.
''I had been thinking about a glass of good red wine and I had the choice of going to a noisy neighborhood bar with the same old baseball game on or to come here,'' said Ms. Peraino at the Clover Hill as Mike Morgenstern on saxophone and Bobby Forrester on electric keyboards struck up another favorite from another era.
Martha McDonald, a real-estate manager who lives in Brooklyn Heights, was sitting nearby with Patrick Goupit, a photographer. ''Working in Manhattan all day, I was seeking someplace quieter, closer to home,'' she said. ''It's intimate, kind of private.''
The preferences for neighborhood entertainment have not gone unnoticed. Restaurant owners are clearing away dining tables and enlarging their restaurant bars to accommodate live music. Musicians, restaurateurs and entertainment promoters see this as a profitable and popular idea, giving new jobs to struggling musicians and generating significant bar revenue for restaurants. Most restaurants schedule the music to start at 10 P.M. or later so that it begins at about the time the last diners are getting coffee and dessert. 'Probably the Reason'
''Last year when the stock market fell, a number of us in the restaurant business suffered,'' said Ginny Hoyt, owner of the Clover Hill, at 151 Montague Street, who hired Mr. Morgenstern last March to organize the restaurant's evening entertainment two nights a week. Four months later, she expanded this to the current five nights a week.
''This summer, the business was stronger than last, and music is probably the reason,'' she said. ''We are primarily a restaurant, and I'm not looking for a big bar business, but I have to do something for additional income. I hope I can continue to get that income by putting music in later at night, not disturbing people wanting to come for dinner and conversation or people who want dinner and entertainment. This is all a delicate balancing act.''
Some restaurants have found that live music has its limitations. Neighbors sometimes complain about noise problems, stirring up protests that are just not worth the trouble. Sometimes it is hard to find the right chemistry between band and patrons. Rock music, for example, has not worked in several restaurants.
Still, live music has enlivened a commercial strip like Court Street late at night. At a restaurant called Anna Banana, at 154 Court Street in Cobble Hill, the manager, Louis Floridia, said the evening clientele there has increased by a third since the one-year-old restaurant began offering live music several months ago. About six weeks ago, he said, the restaurant's owner decided to enlarge the bar area substantially. And Mr. Floridia believes other restaurants may follow the music trend.
Because the restaurants themselves are relatively small, holding 100 people or fewer, the musical groups are generally small as well, usually with fewer than six musicians and often three or four. 'A Chance to Work'
''Manhattan club owners want big names to play, but in Brooklyn the younger musicians get a chance to work,'' said Shihib Leroy Nelson, a 51-year-old flutist who has worked many clubs in the region and has formed several bands. Enrique Guerrero, Louis Vega and Martin Aubert, much younger musicians, agreed with his assessment and said restaurants offering live music offered wider audiences as well.
''I find that people in Brooklyn are starved for live entertainment and music in general,'' said Mr. Aubert, a pit musician for Broadway shows as well as the leader of several local bands. ''In restaurants, patrons applaud, tap on the tables when they like the music. During breaks, you can interact with them. They invite you to their tables for wine or dessert.''
But the trend does not just appeal to the newer residents.
''I'm glad to see it happen - it's like getting a second dessert,'' said a longtime Brooklyn resident, Sarah Takacs, dining at the Clover Hill last week.
She described herself as over 40, to the laughter of her sister from Tulsa and other relatives. ''I find the music very soothing,'' she said, ''as long as it's jazz or blues, something with a mood to it.''

I have a great imagination and always wake up from dreams with ideas. I keep a notebook by my bed so I can write down all my thoughts before they run away. I love twilight. I love forbidden love in all shapes and forms.

Works for me
By Madame X

About Me Natural Style
Comments about BRIGHTEN UP Teeth Whitener - 2.5 g:
This is a simple and easy to use temporary teeth whitener. It's pleasant tasting and doesn't hurt my teeth or gums. The biggest downside is the amount in the tube. Not enough product for the price. Way too expensive. That's why I gave it only three stars.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

did not care for this texture
By TlaB
from Atlanta, GA
About Me Classic Style
This was just strange to use and I could not see a visible benefit. I do care for the feeling of rubbing chap-stick on my teeth. I would be willing to try this again or another product like it in some other formulation.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

By I want white teeth
from Los Angeles, CA
About Me Beauty Conscious
Its so soft, so I dap a little onto my teeth and smudge it with my finger. Like what everyone said it kinda really works for a quick moment. Since I use my finger to spread the content out evenly, white stain does get left on my finger... what is this??? (but it washes away).Would I ever purchase this again? No.

surprised but it works!!
By Ali
from Miami, FL
I was actually surprised, but the product really works. However, it is really small and it runs out very quickly. The stick breaks easily and it gets kind of messy. Please consider making a product with the same formula but bigger.
Jury's still out on this one ...
By The Deal Huntress
from Chapel Hill, NC
I used the product fairly consistently over a period of 3 weeks. But I didn't see any significant change -- at all really. I'm happy for those who have gotten benefit from it, but I'm obviously not among them.

This product works!
By Adventure7Girl
from Canada
I use this product after brushing my teeth at night, so it was part of my routine. I have been using it over the last three weeks. I had results after two weeks and that inspired me to keep using it. I confess I don't remember to use it everyday, but I'd say 5 out of 7 days and the results are great. The change has been gradual and I like that I can control how white they will get as I don't want those white teeth that make the teeth look overly white and unnatural. Thank you Paula for creating affordable products that work.

Doesn't hurt, but it doesn't help either
By Cat
from FL
I have been using this multiple times per day for the past week following the instructions, but I have to say that I'm not really noticing any difference in the brightness of my teeth at all. What I like about the product is that it's very portable, easy to use, and it doesn't hurt my teeth or gums even the tiniest bit. The slight foaming wasn't an issue for me. The taste isn't bad either! Not particularly good, but it is a pretty neutral taste. I feel like this product would be better at maintaining already-white teeth rather than as a multiple shade-whitening treatment in itself. Maybe I'll try this again when I eventually get my teeth whitened to help prevent staining, but if you want to whiten your already-yellow teeth I would give this a pass.
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was perfect! All of my products arrived on time and in good condition.

Yes, but no, but yes
By Mitzi
from NY
Bizarrely, this works. Not in the longterm, I'm guessing, but as an on-the-spot illusion of whiteness. Like everyone else, I found it hard to put on, and I doubt it will be long before I break the stick of product right off while applying. You also don't want to put this on two seconds before you flash a smile at someone, because it creates a white, gloppy, slobbery smear all over your teeth. But give it a few minutes and you'll have a short window of pearly(ish) whiteness. Plus, it tastes just fine.I'd rather use a product that will have a cumulative whitening effect and isn't so awkward to apply. I wouldn't buy this again, but I'm not sorry to have it in my bag now.
Works well, but ...
By Reverend Alan
from Southwest Missouri
Brighten Up arrived today and I used it right off. Though it didn't give me that "Hollywood" smile, it did take away a few years accumulation of coffee and food stains.I would imagine that with regular use, in addition to a good whitening toothpaste, all the stains should be removed in a relatively short time (weeks as opposed to months).Best product I have found so far.

What I Think
I think God is exactly what it says in the bible. I think it I true that he sent Jesus to die for our sins. God is Jesus and Jesus is God. I have no grudge against other people who believe differently, but I try to convince them of my belief. God is real and we should believe he is too.

Oct. 19- Prof. Barbara Zecchi was invited to participate in the _Taller sobre erotismo y cine español_ at Harvard University. The workshop, organized by Santiago Fouz-Hernández (Univ. Durham, UK) was sponsored by the British Academy.
The Taller featured four presentations: Brad Epps (Harvard/Cambridge) talked about 'La mirada morbosa" in the Spanish Transition. Santiago Fouz Hernández (Durham) presented a paper on "Homoerotismo y cuerpos masculinos en el cine de Ventura Pons". Tatjana Pavolović (Tulane University) worked on the movie Peppermint Frappé (1967) and 'The Beginning of the Geraldine Chaplin and Carlos Saura Story'. Barbara Zecchi (UMass Amherst) talked about 'Erotismo "invisible": la mujer madura en el cine español de autoría femenina'. Isolina Ballesteros (Baruch College, CUNY) concluded the workshop with an analysis of the connections between the four interventions. Santiago Fouz Hernández said that the workshop 'is part of a long-term project that seeks to query commonplace characterisations of Spanish cinema as erotic by exploring in detail the mechanisms by which it effects its erotic charge', adding that 'the five presentations and the discussion that followed show that Spanish cinema scholars continue to produce cutting-edge research in Film Studies, contributing to the latest debates in the field, such as haptic visuality or cinematic tactility'.

While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Ford vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to repair your car or truck. Anyone who operates a Ford knows that when it comes to repairing their vehicle only the most superior replacement parts will do. You picked your Ranchero because its reliability and long-lasting quality agreed with your nature; so why would you settle for anything but the best when it comes to superior quality auto parts? Auto enthusiasts appreciate the good looks built into each Ford, and understand that only the best replacement Ranchero parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing.
The ability to slow down and make quick evasive maneuvers is crucial to keeping you and your passengers safe. However, it took a couple of decades of automobile production until drum brake shoes were invented. Drum brake shoes appeared on almost all vehicles from the 1920s to the 1970s, and your Ford Ranchero uses them inside the drums. Much like all brake systems, hydraulic pressure is the agent responsible for making the Ford Ranchero drum brake shoes create friction. As the wheel cylinders push the brake shoes outward against the drums, your vehicle slows down.
Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make purchasing it easy. Bring your Ranchero back to life with the highest quality new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents available with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate Ford Ranchero part for your needs. When it comes to Ford Ranchero Drum Brake Shoes parts, you can find them for 1979, 1978, 1977, 1976, 1975, 1974, 1973, 1972, 1971, 1970, 1969, 1968, 1967, 1966, 1965, 1964, 1963, 1962, 1961, 1960, 1959, 1958, 1957 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

You know you like the guy you've been trying so hard to hate when...
1) You call him names and look at him like he's dirt, whilst still keeping in mind how beautiful you look.
2) You start to argue with him just because you want him to think you are not a push-over and that you are intelligent, determined and a hell of a lot different than any other girl he chats up.
3) You call your best guy-friend by his name. Actually, not only him, but your girlfriends, your siblings, your parents, your grandma, your boyfriend...
4) A mysterious character makes an appearance in your latest story (presuming, of course, you are a writer). His descriptions sound familiar ... but he certainly doesn't have that girlfriend, or any of those other things you 'hate' about him. Then, you decide thats an extremely dull version and kill him off.
5) You listen to a new band, watch a film or read a book and automatically wonder whether he'd like it - and then decide that if he does you'd burn it. Or treasure it forever.
6) Your heart beats furiously when you see him looking at you. You pull your skirt down and your blouse up so that he thinks you are classy and sophisticated (see no. 2) but then pray to God that you still look sexy.
7) You suddenly hate all the girls he talks to that are prettier than you.
8) Anybody who isn't arrogant and sexist (for example) like him is just boring.
9) You ignore his texts but later save them into a special folder so you don't accidentally delete them, ever.
10) You slip his name into any conversation and vehemently insist upon what a prat he is.
And then, of course, all of that works and you realize he is madly in love with you and is prepared to change all the things about him that annoy you. Suddenly you aren't interested.
He is such a prat.

If you watched Top Chef Masters, then Hubert Keller is definitely at the top. Rick Bayless is great too, but personality points go to Hubert. And Michael Chiarello comes in last. His ego is far to big for his achievements. It's sad too, i used to like him when i'd watch him on his PBS show.
Rick Bayless is so sweet, and so passionate about food. I love him.
Rick Bayless! I grew up watching his show on PBS, I loved him then and I love him now! Chiarello is my second favorite!
I love Bobby Flay! He's simply amazing to watch on Iron Chef and Throwdown. Although, I also must admit that I think Rick Bayless's food is spectacular.
I still like Alton Brown's style the best.
I love Rick; always have, always will!
I can't vote for just one! I love them all, but have a soft spot for David Chang, Rick Bayless, Bobby Flay, and Ming Tsai. That's half of them!
I never knew much about Hubert Keller, but he charmed me on Top Chef Masters.
D. Chang! Momofuku is so hot right now. Never been but all the noodle and pork belly bun talk makes a girl crazy! Def will be making his pork belly buns for the holidays.

First post..here goes
Have 2003 E46 320d saloon, I only had one key until today on which the buttons were broken.
I have been using the key in the drivers door to lock and unlock the car, yesterday this lock broke and key turns freely, and until I got the new key with buttons working for the central locking I was unable to lock the car!!
Anyway, since the lock broke the 4 windows keep opening once I turn the engine off and take out the key from ignition???? I can put them back up no problem but a lot of hassle.
Anyone come across this before?? Is it linked to the broken drivers door lock?
