" Brand: Colgate / Type: Mouthwash "
* Prices may differ from that shown
I have recently started to use mouthwash again the last one I used was an alcohol based one some years ago and I didn't like the chemical like taste in my mouth and how long it lasted as it affected things like the way my food and drink tasted.
This mouthwash is not at all like that and is alcohol free ( being for sensitive teeth ) it also Contains fluoride and Kills up to 99.9% of germs in the mouth. I found out about this mouthwash through some research which after getting advice from another dentist that my teeth still need the tarter removed and that the plaque has to be removed within days of the dentist cleaning ( about 10 days ) or it turns to tarter and become to hard.
This lead me to finding a video about plax ( the American version). In the demonstration the girl was shown using plax before and after cleaning her teeth, as this is supposed to make removing the plaque easier by using it beforehand as well. This seemed like a good idea and I have been doing this for several months and had no problems like I did before ( so far so good).
The mouthwash itself comes in a 500ml bottle with a white cap and is £3.29 in Tesco (where I buy it) as of July 2013. It is light pink and is very tasty. It does not sting my mouth at all and I have a few problems with my teeth now and then. I only use a small amount then I don't have a big mouth !
Some people may want a stronger mouthwash , I have used ones like corsydol and listermint but they are a bit strong and just overkill for me. With this I can still eat and drink normally after about 5 or 10 minutes.
This is a review of Colgate Plax sensitive mouthwash. I am on the search for the best mouthwash and have tried plenty. I find they all differ so much in taste and longevity. With this bottle. I was using a sensitive toothpaste and wanted to complement it with a similar mouthwash to see if it made any difference to the tooth sensitivity I have been experiencing.
The bottle is clear plastic and the lid for once is not one of those tamper proof ones you usually get on mouthwash. It is simply a screw top. This suits me as it is kept out of reach of children and doesn't fox me at the point of use. The liquid inside the bottle is a pale pink and you can use the lid as a measuring cup.
I find the taste of this particular variety of mouthwash quite curious. At first I thought it was nasty. It reminded me of the shock you get when you usually chew mint gum and you have a stick of juicy fruit instead. Having said that, it does have minty undertones and is not exactly like juicy fruit (which I don't like). After a week of use, I was totally used to the taste and may go as far as saying I quite liked it. At first I found myself rinsing with water to get rid of the taste which surely defeats the point. I can now carry on after mouthwash without the rinse. I would never throw away something like this so usually persevere with most products rather than waste them.
I bought a 500ml bottle of this mouthwash when it was on offer in Boots. I paid around £2 for it which I think is quite reasonable although I will always look out for offers as I prefer to feel I have got a bargain for something that essentially gets spit (or is it spat?) down the plughole.
The claim
The mouthwash is designed to be marketed as a premium brand and I am a lifelong user of Colgate products so trust this innately. The bottle is alcohol free which I presume is a good thing and promises 12 hours of protection from using. Therefore I use this twice a day, morning and night. This 500ml bottle will last me around a month.
Sensitive results?
As for the sensitive claim, I don't think my teeth have got any worse but I can't say there is a marked improvement either. I like the gentle nature of this product and don't feel it is as harsh as some of the other mouthwashes I have used.
My thoughts
Apart from the initial reaction I had to the taste, I have to say I would buy this again. I found it pleasant to use and the sensitive properties will hopefully help my teeth when drinking cold drinks. I would recommend it as a good mouthwash but will still try other brands depending on offers and prices.
Most of my family use the Colgate brand in our house and always have been impressed by the quality that it provides them, so when purcahsing mouthwash, it's safe to say they'll always go for one from Colgate. I suffer from quite sensitive teeth but do use mouthwash quite a lot, so I was hoping for one that would stop the ouch feeling I sometimes get on my teeth.
You can find this in places like Asda and Boots for around £3, however I bought mine for £1 when it was on offer. Normally, you can find them reduced to, which is always a plus.
Colgate Plax Sensitive is designed to cater towards those with more sensitive teeth, which is why I find it to be much better than the other ones around for my teeth. It doesn't have the sting that happens sometimes with mouthwash on my teeth either which was quite a nice addition!
The mouthwash states that it would kill up to 99.99% of germs and have 12 hour protection against bacteria and plaque, and it does make my teeth feel much cleaner than they have done with previous moutwashes. It also says it delivers fresh breath that's noticeable, I felt that it did do this and it lasted for quite a while.
It does have a taste of mint, however this is quite mild, so being someone who hates the taste of mint I was quite happy with it as it isn't as bad as some of them out there. You don't have to use too much for this to work, as after only using half a lid full it seemed to do the job well. This was also a bonus as it does mean that the bottle lasted for quite a while. Mine must last around 2 months before it actually ends up running out completely.
After using the mouthwash, it definitely does what it says on the bottle, as it made my mouth feel fresh for a while and did leave an aftertaste of mint for a while. It also has improved my sensitive teeth quite a bit, as with cold food they don't hurt as much now. I'd definitely recommend it.
As you may know if you have read my other reviews, I am a huge fan of dental hygiene! I am also a huge fan of mouthwash, I am by no means brand loyal and do tend to go with what is on offer at te current time. I love trying new ones and do get bored of using the same one for a while. I usually have two or three different ones on the go in my bathroom at one time! I first tried this 2 weeks ago, I was shopping at tesco and this was on a 3 for 2 offer at £3.29 each, I decided to give it a try and bought three bottles. The reason why I bought it was because I have found Colgate products to be the best for oral hygiene and I use them when they are on offer at better prices than usual as they can be rather expensive at times. I will now go into more detail on the mouthwash and give my opinions! :)
The bottle:
For your money you receive a bottle containing 500ml of mouthwash, the bottle is made out of plastic which is completely clear, the lid is white. It's avert simple design. The mouthwash is clear like water which is strange because it's very rare to see a clear one, they're usually fancy colours to entice you into buying them. The front of the bottle advertises how it is a sensitive mouth wash and that it is completely alcohol free. You are also told that this will gently care for sensitive teeth and gums, it will kill 99.9% of germs, gives you very fresh breath and leaves you with a 12 hour protection after use. It is also antibacterial. The back of the bottle gives you instructions on how to use, you simply fill the cap halfway and swig around your mouth for 30 seconds. It also tells you how it has been clinically tested and approved by dentists and uses flouride to protect teeth against cavities. Overall it has a different plain style to it compared to others on the shelf. It's simple but I believe it's effective as it is a no nonsense design! It tells you exactly what it does without fancy colours and designs.
The mouthwash:
It is a very different taste to anything I have tried before. It is very mild mint flavour that almost tastes neutral in your mouth. It's not strong and doesn't really feel like mouthwash. However when you spit it out you are left with a fresh minty taste which I found strange! It smells great on your breath though. It's great If you suffer from sensitivity too, I do and it helped me out. My teeth also felt really smooth and clean, it really works nicely. Is one of the best I have tried. It's strange because it's completely see through! It will not tingle your mouth at all so it's great for kids and the whole family!
I really like this mouthwash, it's worth its cost. It may be expensive but it really works and is worth the try. Colgate are a great brand and have very high quality products. I am going to be giving this mouthwash a 5 star rating as it completely works for me. I have a lot left to use and I'm happy to use it all! I would recommend this to anyone with a family who wants something everyone can use, you will calm your sensitive areas of your mouth and have fresh breath all day :)
Thanks for reading my review
I like to take good care of my teeth so mouthwash is a must have in our house. I usually tend to buy stronger mouthwashes such as Listerine but since I am trying to save some pennies and the only mouthwash that was on offer in my local Tesco was this Colgate Plax sensitive mouthwash I thought I would give it a go.
This mouthwash is designed to be used by people with sensitive teeth and gums and has an alcohol free formula in order to provide this more gentle care to your mouth. My teeth are not overly sensitive but I do have a couple of sensitive teeth right at the back so I was intrigued to see how this would affect them.
**What the mouthwash promises**
*Kills up to 99.9% of germs
*Delivers noticeable fresh breath
*12 hour protection against bacteria and plaque
**My Experience**
Before using the mouthwash I had a quick sniff to see what the difference was between this sensitive mouthwash and the regular stuff I usually use. I have to say that this smells completely different. It has more mild scent. It smells just like the cool trebor soft mints. The mintiness is still there but is much less in your face.
I followed the guide of how much mouthwash to use and began rinsing away. As I suspected from the scent this mouthwash is very gentle and is not at all hot in your mouth. I wasn't sure how well it would work as I am used to the mouthwashes that you can actually feel working.
After using the mouthwash my breath was fresh and my mouth felt clean. When I use stronger mouthwashes my mouth feels minty fresh for quite some time afterwards but I have to say I was quite disappointed with the minty after taste of this one. After an hour I cannot notice it at all.
However I have noticed an improvement on my sensitive teeth. Usually when I eat something cold or the wind touches my teeth in a strange way it does irritate my teeth. But since using this mouthwash I have to say this has decreased dramatically.
**Price and availability**
You can find this mouthwash in supermarkets and pharmaceutical stores. I found this on offer for £1 but it usual retail price is around £3.00- £3.50
I like this mouthwash and I think that it does a good job at cleaning and maintaining the health of my teeth and gums. I would purchase this again if it was on offer however if I had the choice between this and a stronger mouthwash I would go with the stronger one as it just makes my mouth feel fresher for longer.

Colgate Plax Sensitive
I have always been a keen user of Colgate products. For some reason they never seem to disappoint me. Despite it not being the cheapest brand available, I am always willing to pay extra for the Colgate quality. I started buying this mouthwash a while ago when my teeth were going through a sensitive patch. The sensitivity in my teeth has since calmed down however I still buy this mouthwash as I think it definitely attributes to keeping it at bay.
This is an alcohol free mouthwash which is a lovely light pink colour. Its aim is to effectively kill germs whilst freshening breath and gently caring for sensitive teeth and gums. The mouthwash supposedly also offers 12 hour protection against bacteria and plaque.
I like the packaging of the mouthwash, it comes in a 500ml clear bottle. I like the fact that you can see the colour and consistency of the mouthwash through the bottle, there is nothing to hide, I can also see when I am running low.
You are meant to use the mouthwash twice a day, once at morning and once at night which is the typical mouthwash routine. A bottle usually lasts me a few weeks at least and I do use it twice a day.
I trust this mouthwash to do its job effectively and to be safe to my teeth. It is clinically tested by dentists and I have only ever had positive effects from Colgate products. The ingredients all look very chemical to me but as long as the amount instructed is used and none of it is swallowed I trust that it is only having a good effect on my mouth.
The mouthwash smells very strong of mint, but a good mint smell like spearmint, almost like a melted bottle of polo's. The consistency is thin like water and the taste is rather nice. It doesn't taste chemically, it just tastes of sweet mint and there is no rancid aftertaste either.
I use this mouthwash daily and the reason is because I have not found another which keeps my mouth feeling fresher for longer. I like how there is no alcohol in the mouthwash as it makes it taste a lot better and there is no aftertaste. I never need to use the full amount recommended for it to be effective either which is always a plus as that way the bottle lasts a little bit longer.
This mouthwash does not irritate my gums or leave a burning sensation in my mouth. When I use it I really do feel that it is protecting my teeth and gums and not doing them any harm. It is sensitive to my teeth and after use my mouth feels clean and refreshed.
As far as it lasting for 12 hours, it would be nice to find a mouthwash that does in fact do that but I think that it is a bit over ambitious. If I don't use the mouthwash at night then I can tell the difference though which shows me it definitely does something for the 12 hours.
Overall I really like this mouthwash and I wouldn't use another, for now. I definitely would recommend it to anyone who doesn't feel like they are getting the most out of their mouthwash as this one certainly ticks all the boxes for me.
Available in most supermarkets and pharmacies costing approximately £3 which I find to be great value for money.
Review also on Ciao under luceey.
I like using mouthwash for the extra freshness you get afterwards. I have tried several brands and keep going back to the same one which is Dentyl PH. Unless it's on offer it is rather expensive and I like to make savings wherever I can. I picked up a 500ml bottle of this last week in Morrisons for just £1! other Plax mouthwashes are also on the same offer too.
I picked this one mainly because it said 'sensitive' on the front and partially because it is pink (I love pink things)
The bottle is see through with a white screw top lid. The mouthwash is a lovely pink colour which you can see through the bottle. The bottle states that mouthwash is alcohol free and provides 12 hour protection against plaque and bacteria. On the back of the bottle you are advised that the mouthwash has been proven to fight plaque and bacteria for 12 hours, contains flouride to fight cavities and strengthen teeth,
strengthens gums and protects against gum problems, cleans even in the hard to reach places and has a refreshing taste which will help keep breath fresh for up to 12 hours.
To use the mouthwash you need to fill the cap to the line which is 20ml and rinse for 30 seconds before spitting out. You are advised not to swallow the mouthwash. I find that 20ml is far too much for me! I use half of that amount. The mouthwash has a lovely minty taste, but compared to other mouthwashes I have tried it is really mild and plesant. I normally find that certain mouthwashes particularly the ones with alcohol sting my gums and irritate them. This mouthwash however was really gentle and didn't sting.
After using this my mouth felt cleaner and my breath fresher. I am doubtful that the freshness would last 12 hours particularly if you eat strong foods. The bottle recommends that you use this morning and night for best results. I have been doing so for a week and my teeth feel cleaner and my mouth generally fresher. I would definately buy this one again as even checking the full price which is only £2.80 in Tesco it is still cheaper than other brands.
Having recently suffered from pain in the mouth area, specifically around my wisdom teeth, I decided I should make an attempt at caring for my mouth and teeth slightly better than I have up to now. A trip to Asda soon saw me with 2 bottles of mouthwash. At the time, Asda had a deal on the Colgate Plax mouthwashes, being 2 for £3. We purchased one bottle of the Sensitive variety and a second bottle of different flavour, which if is on here, I shall also review. The reason for buying 2 different flavours was in case we didn't like one, we would have a second to use instead. I don't know if the deal is still on, as I have no need to buy more mouthwash at the minute, but it is a good deal. The Sensitive variety alone costs £3.49!!!
Anywho, the mouthwash is a light pink colour in a clear bottle. I shall not describe the bottle or instructions as well, it's a bottle with liquid in it and if your reading this, I'm going to make the assumption you can read instructions on said bottle. It's mouthwash as well. I mean, how hard is it to put some in mouth, wash around, rinse out. If that is beyond your comprehension, this please do not buy any mouthwash.
So I take a swig of this mouthwash and the first thing I notice is the distintive flavour. Everytime I use it, all I can think of is cheap chewing gum you could buy back in the last century. It is not a pleasant taste and it does make me rinse it around rather quickly, getting into the nooks and crannies, in an attempt to get it out of my mouth quickly. So, quick rinse, gargle and out she goes. I find a quick rinse around with water after use gets rid of the aftertaste, which is as pleasant as the taste when it's in your mouth.
After use, my teeth feel nice and clean, smooth and my breath is good enough that the wife allows me to kiss her!! I find it does last a long time as well. When used at night, I wake up and my teeth still feel pretty clean and smooth. If used in the morning, I can eat some food and they still feel pretty good. Obviously, the more food you eat, the quicker the feeling goes.
I would recommend this brand of mouthwash, but not this flavour, even for sensitive teeth, try a different flavour and see how that goes first.
Having just looked at the other reviews and stated earlier I was going to review the different flavour I used, well I'm not. There is no point as it will be the same as this review, other than the taste was brilliant and much better than this one. So get the Colgate Plax classic version and your onto a winner.
I have run out of Listerine and noticed that Tescos currently have a Buy One Get One Free (BOGOF) offer on Colgate Plax which I have not tried for a while. One of the mouthwashes I purchased was Colgate Plax Sensitive Gentle Care.
Packaging and appearance: The mouthwash is contained within a 500ml transparent plastic bottle. The Colgate logo is fairly obvious, with the Plax letters in bold white font. Also apparent is a small clock which indicates that the product provides 12 hour protection against bacteria and plaque. The mouthwash is a fairly unnatural looking dark pink colour with some bubbles on the top liquid layer.
Smell: The mouthwash does not contain alcohol and is a "gentle fresh mint" flavour. This is a fairly accurate description of the smell, the lack of alcohol means the smell is fairly non descript, except for a subtle minty smell.
Taste: The minty taste is a lot stronger than the smell, but is quite palatable and you do not feel like spitting the mouthwash out straight away. The foam does however build up in the mouth. Also, the aftertaste is not the best, but my breath does feel a lot fresher.
The claims: According to the product, the formula has been developed for people with sensitive teeth and gums. The product further claims that it provides 12 hour protection against bacteria and plaque. Other claims include that the product contains fluoride (one of the ingredients in sodium fluoride), strengthens gums and protects against gum problems, cleans hard to reach places and gives a long lasting fresh breath. Most of these claims are not possible to verify, but I did feel that the product gave a fresh breath for a long period of time, especially after gargling.
Overall: Given that this product is on BOGOF, it is good value and does taste OK and provides a fresh breath. The main drawbacks are that I found that foam builds up in your mouth and that the aftertaste is not the best. I would consider buying this product again if it is on special offer but I prefer Listerine.
I am suffering from sensitive teeth and gums at the moment so I have been looking out for products which may help me deal with this whilst combating the problems that are causing it.
This bottle is a 500ml bottle of pink mouthwash which is provided in a clear bottle with a white screw top lid which doubles up as a measuring device for your mouthwash. Simply fill the cap to the line (20ml) and then rinse this around your mouth for about 25-30 seconds and then gargle and spit the mouthwash back out. It has quite a gentle mint flavouring and is nothing too overpowering. I do find with some mouthwashes that they make my eyes water and I feel the need to swallow so I never end up doing the full amount of time required for it to be most effective. I am not having this problem with this mouthwash and that's obviously quite pleasing for me as I automatically feel that I am doing more for my dental health already.
It does not contain alcohol (which may be a plus for some?) and it does make me feel like my mouth is healthier in general. It does not affect my sensitive teeth or gums at all and I have not experienced any bleeding when using this product. I can't really see much muck being removed from my mouth when I spit in to the sink (yuck!) but I can physically see my teeth are cleaner all around. It is a very refreshing mouthwash and I use it twice a day (morning & evening) and feel that my breath is much fresher because of this product.
The 500ml bottle that I have been reviewing (no, not the exact one!) is available for £3.65 from Tesco but this is probably available on special offer somewhere else and I would definitely recommend trying this is you suffer from sensitive teeth or gums. I am rating this mouthwash 4/5 and it has lost one star from me because the price is a little expensive.
What s it?
A dental mouthwash.
Special features?
An alcohol-free dental mouthwash formulated especially for sensitive and gums, and provides up to 12 hours' protection against bacteria and plaque.
What so I think of it?
I think this mouthwash is fab. There weren't really many alcohol-free mouthwashes around and this is probably one of the more decent ones, plus it being produced by Colgate.
The mouthwash comes as a transparent pink liquid, and is doesn't sting like many mouthwashes do. It has a slightly sweet taste, almost mint-like, though it's not meant to have a minty taste and actually, it is pretty difficult to pin-point the actual flavour of it, but more importantly it isn't unpleasant, though my dad says he doesn't really like it as it tastes too sweet and syrupy to him.
After rinsing my mouth always feels fresh and clean, there is no strong taste or residue left in the mouth, and generally, it does feel very similar to water and doesn't appear to stain the teeth.
The mouthwash is also a very good one to use overnight as it protects up to 12 hours. I know it is working as I generally don't get any problems in the mornings, unlike another I had used previously, and I could really feel the difference in my mouth in the mornings.
The price of this mouthwash varies dramatically from time to time. But generally, it costs around £3.50 for a 500ml bottle. There are special promotions on this, like BOGOF offers, but lately, I have found this to be very occasional. Obviously, I'm not the only one who thinks it's good. It is a little on the dearer side compared to many other mouthwashes, but this is a good decent alcohol-free mouthwash that works and if very effective.
Thanks for reading. xx

I've just started using mouthwash.
The first bottle I bought was Dentyl pH Mouthwash. It tasted lovely and worked really well. However, I was a bit dubious about it because of the colours and the sparkly bits and what have you.
The second was Listerine. It burned!! I found out that it was the alcohol, and (not liking it at all) I put it up on the shelf out of the way. However, one morning I decided to try it again, and after a while I got used to the burning and it wasn't so bad. I liked it, it tasted good, it was a trusted well-used brand, it worked well and it's my favourite so far.
When that ran out, I decided to try Colgate Plax because of a review I found on here. I bought it...and I HATE it!
It told me to fill the cap to the line...huh? The cap was huge, and the line was way up. I filled it to about half the line, and that filled my whole mouth. Am I getting the lines wrong, or is the dosage just ridiculous?? I used the soft mint flavour, and it's disgusting. Really weak and horrible. I spat it out and I rinsed my mouth. About 5 mins later, I started feeling sick in my stomach. I still feel it now, and I have a disgusting taste in my mouth.
Next time, I'm buying Listerine again unless I see something else worth trying.
But is it me, or Plax? Do I just have to get used to it, or it is really that bad?
Do you know the feeling when you run your tongue along the inside of your teeth and feel a layer of fur has grown on them? Do you know what it is like when brushing your teeth just does not do enough to remove this fur? Are you self-conscious about what odour meets the person standing opposite you when you open your mouth to speak?
I do not know about you, but my cleaning my teeth is probably the most important part of my daily hygiene routine. I brush at least two times a day, if not three. I also floss regularly. And, as if my dentist could not be proud enough already of my good habits, I also use mouthwash.
There are loads of different mouthwash manufacturers out there, but today I want to introduce to you the one oral hygiene product that I would not want to live without.
***The product***
Plax is manufactured by Colgate (now also known as Colgate-Palmolive). It comes in a tall see-through plastic bottle with an oval base and contains 500ml of product. I have also seen smaller versions of the product, though they are less frequently sold.
Plax is available in three flavours, each represented by its own distinct colour: The red liquid is called 'original'. The blue liquid is called 'cool mint' and the green liquid is called 'soft mint'.I have tried all three available ranges.
***My experience***
The green soft mint flavour is my favorite. I usually do not purchase the other ones in this range, unless they are currently sold out. The name is very appropriate for its flavour: a subtle mint flavour. It is not strong and overpowering, just pleasant and sweet. It does not irritate your throat or mouth.
The blue cool mint flavour is my second favorite. Like the name says, it does have a cool and tingly feeling when you put it in your mouth. Unlike the soft mint version, however, it is quite strong and may be overpowering (and perhaps even irritating) for those who are sensitive.
The red original flavour is my least favorite. Although it also has a gentle mint flavour, there is a distinctive clinical taste to it. It tastes like something you might have got at the dentist office. Try to avoid this one if you can.
The mouthwash can either be used before brushing or after brushing. The theory behind the pre-brushing rinse is simple: It is supposed to loosen some of the plaque on your teeth and thus aid the toothbrush in its removal. The post-brushing use is more for those concerned about the freshness of their breath.
I tend to use a cap full of product before I brush my teeth. I rigourously rinse my mouth, moving the liquid from my left to my right cheek and through the spaces of my teeth. After 30 to 60 seconds, I spit the product into the sink.
I then tend to proceed with my brushing, which lasts between 2 and 3 minutes. Following this, I can feel a noticeable difference from before. The "fur coat" that I referred to above is noticeable reduced.
My boyfriend tends to use the product after brushing, as a mouthwash. Living in close proximity to him on a daily basis, I can only vouch for the product's effect. He has never had bad breath in the last 18 months.
Plax claims to last up to 12 hours. While this may be true of the 'fresh breath' effect, it is not so much true of the 'cleaner teeth' feeling. A few hours after using the product and after having drunk tea or coffee and eaten a meal, the fur coat does tend to re-appear.
The effect of Plax will largely depend on when you last visited your dentist. I find that if I just had my teeth cleaned by the dentist or a hygienist and use Plax, the fur coat tends to take a lot longer to re-appear. I also find that Plax prolongs the time period that passes until I feel like I need another proper dental cleaning.
A 500ml bottle of Plax shared between two people tends to last about 10 to 14 days, if used once or twice daily.
***Price and availability***
Plax is relatively expensive. It is usually priced between £2.79 and £2.99, depending on where you buy it. It is available at all major supermarkets and drugstores/ pharmacies.
Some retailers do special deals. Every few weeks Sainsbury's tends to run a 2 for 1 deal on this product. Boots often makes a "2 for £4" offer on this item. So it is highly recommended to stock up at this time.
***My verdict***
I would definitely recommend using this product to anyone who cares a lot about oral hygiene. It really does help keep your mouth feeling healthier. Always remember that it works better if you get your teeth cleaned on a regular basis. I would also highly recommend waiting for the special offers to come around. £3 for one bottle might sound pricey, but if you manage to reduce the price to £2 or £1.50, it is a real bargain!

A few weeks ago, when my partner and I were messing about and pretending to insult each other, he mentioned I had 'morning breath' sometimes. Now, I know the comment was made in fun, but there is that saying 'Never a truer word than spoken in jest' so I was still a bit worried. After all, no-one wants to be smelly! I went through a little checklist - I don't smoke, I rarely drink coffee, I clean my teeth every day and regularly go to the Dentist. I couldn't see any problems there. So I kept asking him (you know how persistent women can be!) and he finally admitted that I sometimes had that yucky breath first thing in the morning, before my restorative cure-all cup of tea. So this upset me a bit – I mean, I want to be kissable, right?! I went for a browse round my local chemists and came out with some dental floss and mouthwash. I haven't used mouthwash before, because it seemed an expensive luxury to me and I was always worried my children would swallow it my mistake. However, my youngest is now almost six, so I thought it would be okay -and so far she's been very good and not touched it. There were about four different brands of mouthwash in the shop - some were around £4 and I really couldn't afford that on a regular basis! I opted for one that was a good make, but only £2.17 for a 250ml bottle – Colgate Total Plax Fresh mouthwash. It has the familiar Colgate logo on and comes in a see-through plastic bottle. It is described as an 'anti-plaque mouthrinse' and offers 12-hour protection, long lasting fresh breath and also says it fights gum problems and cavities. So, it sounds pretty impressive. It is not recommended for children younger than six years old. My older kids (11, almost 10 and 8 years old) have used it occasionally and seemed to like it and haven't had any problems with it. You can use it before or a
fter brushing your teeth. You pour a cap-full out, rinse it round your mouth then spit it out. Do not swallow! (Being a woman, I never do!!!) The one I bought is bright green and called soft mint. It smells and tastes nice – it is minty, but not really spearmint or peppermint, more like the sort of taste you get from Dentyne chewing gum. I am very impressed with it. I feel my breath is fresher and this gives me more confidence. If I am going out in a hurry and don't have chance to brush my teeth for a second time, I rinse with the mouthwash and feel that will still do the trick. The only disadvantage to it is the price. The bottle is about half-full now and I bought it less than a week ago, so this could work out about £4 a month. I do think it's worth it though and feel it will become a permanent addition to our shopping list. Here comes the boring bit … It contains that old favourite Aqua, plus sorbitol, alcohol, glycerin, aroma, menthol, disodium phosphate, PVM/MA copolymer, sodium fluoride, sodium hydroxide, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, sodium saccharin, triclosan, CI 42090 and CI 47005. Most of those, I have no clue what they are, of course. The mouthwash is made by Colgate-Palmolive, based in Guildford and can be contacted by phoning 00-800-321-321-32.
You know the scenario, you are out on the town, you are the life and soul of the party and whatever you say results in reams of laughter, and then you catch the whiff of bad breath. Cigarettes, alcohol all at least ten days old and it suddenly dawns on you. God was it my jokes or my personal hygiene they were all laughing at? You will never know, you go all quiet and it is as if you have a split personality, the others think that you have come over all-unnecessary and leave you alone. Great what was so promising turns out to be a disaster. You could never be sure that it was not your breath you caught a whiff of. Well insurance is always wise and in the meat market this is never truer. I would like to introduce you to the insurance that you may need ~ Colgate total Plax mouthwash. This little beauty is easy to use, simply rinse and gargle for 1 minute after flossing and before brushing your teeth. Twice a day is best but once will do. It fights plaque for 12 hours and plaque is what traps those nasty niffs in your mouth all around your teeth. This will result in long-lasting fresh breath and fight gum disease and cavities. Colgate claim that they have the results of unequivocal clinical tests that prove their claims. I cannot vouch for their tests I can, however, recommend Plax on the basis of ten years experience on myself. I have religiously used this product and have never had a problem since. I have not had a filling in the last ten years and my dentist says that he is impressed. He also says that since the onset of Plax the number of cavities in the teeth of adults has dropped dramatically. How does Plax work? It contains co polymers, which are gentle round abrasives, and triclosan which is an antiseptic, designed to dislodge plaque and kill anaerobic bacteria that live between your teeth and turn sugars into foul smelling waste products. It also contains glycerine and menthol to give it that medicine taste and feel but add n
othing to its efficacy. It also contains alcohol so it is not recommended for children. This is wise as the abrasives could result in immature tooth enamel being thinned. Healthy teeth and gums is the result. Is a minute a day worth it? Well yes it is the cheapest insurance policy in terms of time and money that I have and it is worth it. Plax costs around two pounds a bottle and this 500 ml bottle lasts my wife and I about two months. Not bad for bathroom products generally and it is more effective than mouth sprays and the like. Socialise with confidence, take out the Plax insurance policy, then you may discover that it was indeed not your breath that drove your friends away, they just got bored LOL.
Aims to attack the bacteria which cause plaque and bad breath for up to 12 hours

Rusin impresses, but drops debut to Brewers
Rusin impresses, but drops debut to Brewers
"Hopefully, he can keep the ball down like he did that day and show us what he can do at the big league level," Sveum said before Rusin made his Major League debut Tuesday night against the Brewers.
Rusin gave up one hit, an infield single, and one run over five innings, as Marco Estrada combined with five pitchers to strike out 12 and lead the Brewers to a 5-2 victory.
The Cubs out-hit the Brewers, 4-3, but Chicago pitchers also combined to walk six and hit three batters.
"When you walk more than the other team, you're going to lose 70 percent of the time," Sveum said. "You've got to throw strikes to pitch in the big leagues. We have to do a better job of that."
Rusin (0-1) tried to help himself when he tripled in his first big league at-bat, lining the ball to right-center with one out in the third, but was stranded. According to Elias Sports Bureau, no Cubs pitcher has ever tripled in his first Major League at-bat. Bob Muncrief did triple in his Cubs debut on June 8, 1948, but that hit came in his second at-bat. The last Cubs player to triple in his first career at-bat was Dan Rohn on Sept. 2, 1983, in his second plate appearance.
"I just closed my eyes and swung," Rusin said. "I didn't know where it was going. It happened to go over the outfielder's head."
It was his first extra-base hit, period. He did not have one in the Minor Leagues.
"It was pretty exciting," Rusin said.
"I don't know how many times the first pitch a pitcher has ever seen he hits a triple -- maybe a home run, but I don't know about a triple," Sveum said. "We knew he could swing the bat. He lined out another time, too. He did all right."
Good enough to warrant another start? Sveum, who was impressed with Rusin's changeup and his ability to recover when he fell behind, said they'll consider their options.
"It's whatever they think," Rusin said. "If they decide to keep me here, I'll do my best. If not, I'll do the same thing down in Iowa."
The Brewers want to see Rusin again.
"That first guy really kind of mystified us a little bit," Milwaukee's Jonathan Lucroy said. "I guess when you've got a really good changeup like that, you're able to keep a lot of guys off balance. He would drop a changeup on you that was painted, a borderline [strike], and would get you to roll it over. ... That guy did a nice job for his debut, and I'm sure we'll be facing him down the road again. I can't wait."
He certainly would boost attendance. Rusin had a large crowd of family and friends in the crowd of 29,179 at Miller Park, including his parents, who made the seven-hour drive from Michigan.
The young left-hander showed he can field his position, handling a comebacker by Estrada and throwing the pitcher out to end the third.
But his foot got in the way in the fourth. The Brewers loaded the bases with one out as Rusin hit two batters and walked another. The first hit off Rusin was literally off the pitcher, as Corey Hart lined an infield single off his left foot. A run scored.
"It hit the top of my foot," Rusin said. "It stung a little bit, but I'll be fine."
Sveum decided to pull Rusin after 70 pitches.
"He did a good job, came out of there with his head up," Sveum said.
Rookie Alberto Cabrera walked the bases loaded in the sixth and a run scored on a wild pitch. Lucroy followed with a two-run double to open a 4-0 lead and preserve the win for Estrada (1-5), who struck out nine over six innings.
"Estrada is a nice pitcher, but I wouldn't expect him to have nine strikeouts in six innings, either," Sveum said. "We didn't do a real good job of taking advantage of what I thought were a lot of good pitches to hit and a lot of went down lookings on some pretty good pitches to hit. That was unfortunate."
For the second straight day, the Brewers struck out 12 Cubs. They've helped Milwaukee pad its K's totals, which is already tops in the National League at 1,042.
The Cubs scored two runs in the ninth against Manny Parra, including an RBI single from Alfonso Soriano.
Rusin is the 16th rookie to play for the Cubs this year, and 10th to make his Major League debut. Of the 16, he's the ninth pitcher. The last time the Cubs had more than 10 players make their big league debut in the same season was 2010, when 11 did so.
Rusin admitted to being a little nervous, but was able to retire the side in an efficient first. Whether he'll be part of the Cubs' rotation next season is still to be determined. He, Brooks Raley and Justin Germano are among the candidates for spots.
"They're young guys who are still learning how to get Major League hitters out with the stuff they have," Sveum said. "That's what the evaluation point of all this is. That's what we have, that's the depth we have and we're going to evaluate it going forward. They have the ability to do it. Now, it's the understanding how to do it on a daily basis against Major League hitters."
"It's always a good opportunity to get out there and do as good as you can and take advantage of it," Rusin said. "I thought I did all right, but we didn't get the win."

Dr. David J. Spittal, EdD, was installed as the fifth president of MidAmerica Nazarene University in an inauguration held Friday, Oct. 26, at College Church of the Nazarene. Dr. Larry McIntire (1), chairman of the MNU board of trustees, welcomed delegates from 25 local and regional universities as well as community leaders, students, alumni, faculty, and staff members.
Kansas Secretary of Revenue Nick Jordan (2), seen here with Associated Student Government President Chelsea Coffey, brought greetings on behalf of Governor Sam Brownback and the State of Kansas. Olathe Mayor Michael Copeland ('84) took part in the ceremony (3), challenging the president to be a visionary leader for Olathe's "hometown university."
Dr. Daniel Copp (4), commissioner of education for the International Church of the Nazarene, presented Dr. Spittal with a crystal globe. Copp said MNU's global reach is apparent through its many international opportunities for students and its alumni serving across the world.
This is the truth that we seek to 'pass forward' to you. This is the legacy of MidAmerica Nazarene University," said Spittal in his remarks. "We are disciples of Jesus Christ.
'So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal' (2 Corinthians 4:18).
"We are not empowered by a particle or a mere idea of God. We serve a sovereign living God who sent his Son as our Savior and who now dwells within us. We are disciples of Jesus Christ. We walk by faith and not by sight.
We are not settlers; we are Pioneers.
General Superintendent Emeritus Dr. Paul G. Cunningham and Dr. Larry McIntire placed the presidential medallion on Dr. Spittal as Mrs. Spittal looked on (5).
Dr. Spittal was elected president of MNU on January 16, 2012, and has served in that position since Feb. 1. The inauguration ceremony was a reverent church service that featured Scripture readings as well as Dr. Spittal's favorite hymn, "Great Is Thy Faithfulness."
MidAmerica Nazarene University's presidential medallion (8) depicts the institutional seal. It represents a duty to promote and maintain the values represented by the institution, as well as obedience to the calling on the president's life. The president wears the medallion at all official academic convocations.
Delegates attending the inauguration ceremony (6) included representatives from all eight U.S. Nazarene colleges and universities; 10 Kansas colleges and universities, including K-State Olathe campus; three Midwestern institutions; and Houghton College, a Wesleyan college in Houghton, New York.
Dignitaries joined Dr. and Mrs. Spittal and family at a celebratory luncheon (9) in Uphaus Hall at College Church immediately following the ceremony.
From one generation to another (10), General Superintendent Emeritus Dr. Donald Owens, former MNU president, congratulated Dr. Spittal at the inaugural luncheon. Though not pictured here, President Emeritus Dr. Richard Spindle also attended.

In the below code, I am attempting to count the number of letters and number of words in a phrase. In researching the return values of isalpha(), I noted that when a letter is present the first character isalpha() output is 1. But the second character isalpha() output is 2? The phrase that was input into this example was the following: How do you organize? Can someone help me with why I am not getting uniform output for the "H" character and the "o" character?
Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <ctype.h> int main(void) { int ch; float avg = 0; int spaces = 0; int letters = 0; int test = 0; int ltrcnt = 0; int spccnt = 0; while((ch = getchar()) != '\n') { test = isalpha(ch); if(isalpha(ch) == 2) { ltrcnt++; } if(isspace(ch) == 8) { spccnt++; } } printf("The Number Of Words Are %d , The Number Of Letters Are %d ",(spccnt+1),ltrcnt); }

Undergraduate Programs

The baccalaureate program in nursing is designed to meet the needs of students who choose nursing as a major as freshmen; registered nurses who hold a diploma or associate degree in nursing; and., also for licensed vocational nurses. The curriculum requirements are the same for all student groups, however, the program's methodology varies to meet the needs of the learner.
Graduate Programs
The College of Nursing's graduate programs prepare registered professional nurses to be advanced practice nurses in the specialty areas of Family Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Administration and Nurse Education. The faculty of the College of Nursing believes that graduate education is the most effective means of preparing nurses for advanced practice roles through academic excellence, intellectual curiosity and leadership development. Graduate classes are offered during the evening onsite and online.

With new microbreweries popping up around the country and a selection of craft beers blanketing beverage store shelves, this is a great time to consider some unique gifts for lager lovers and ale aficionados.
These chill-maintaining pilsner glasses keep beer chilled just above freezing for 30 minutes. The double-walled glasses have a viscous cooling liquid between both layers that freezes after one hour in a freezer. Forgot to chill down your six-pack? No problem, these the glasses can chill a room-temperature libation to 36° F in just 21/2 minutes.
A unique gift that's ideal for the gentleman who believes form should always follow function, these cufflinks open bottles as easily as they secure French button cuffs. Made from polished stainless steel, they have rigid teeth for quickly lifting the cap from a bottle-conditioned Imperial Pale Ale.
This remote-controlled cooler can roll across a patio, rug, or kitchen floor to deliver a well-timed beverage to parched party guests. With room for six cans or bottles and ice, the compact cooler rolls on four sturdy underside wheels up to 60′ from the host at the controls. This is an amusing and unique gift for the beer lover who thought he had everything.
This is truly a golden age for fans of fermented malt beverages. There's a style of beer for every taste, and if ale's what cures you, to that we deliver a hearty "Cheers!"

I was pleasantly surprised to get my shipment two days before I expected it. I use these cards to make postcards out of my photography, and these cards are sturdy enough to withstand rough handling and post office machines. I'm very pleased, and will definitely order again.

My first time using Fabriano watercolor paper
By Pnanax3
from San Diego, Ca
I like to paint postcards when I travel. The quality of the Fabriano paper far exceeded my expectations. I paint on it like block paper (although these edges are free) and the paper holds its shape well. It is far superior from other brands I've tried!!

from Colorado Springs, CO
I love having this pad in my art class supply box. The tooth is good for water color & also for sketching. I'll use them mostly for class & to have a reference to techniques I learn in that class.

I use these for a project that I am doing. (I'm painting pen & ink & watercolour postcards and sending them all over the world.) The quality of these cards is about the same as the other similarly-priced brands that I have tried. It is good quality, but not outstanding. The surface can't handle a lot of scrubbing. (This is a GOOD thing. It keeps me from overworking the pieces.) However, for the subtlety of some skies, I need to use a tougher paper.

My 7 year old grandaugher (the artist in the family)loves to make greeting cards. They are the perfect size and don't need to be cut to size.

Actors craving a life of adventure and musical theater on the high seas don't need to live near an ocean to be cast in onboard cruise ship productions. Casting directors for the major cruise lines hold auditions in cities around the world on a rolling basis.
"We just did our New York auditions for 'Legally Blonde' and 'Rock of Ages,' and we have auditions coming up in L.A. next month," Robert Dean Hertenstein, Norwegian Cruise Line's manager of theatrical operations, told Backstage.
"We also do a lot of the colleges in the spring; in the summer we go over to Europe and do London, Berlin, Newcastle, Stockholm, and Amsterdam. We go to Australia and the Philippines in November."
The cruise line productions aren't union—the companies say that's because of the multinational casts—but they do offer competitive salaries and added perks. For instance, young performers can get a taste of fame after they step off the stage.
"They become like the little megastars on board," said Hertenstein. "When they're out and about, like at a bar or having dinner somewhere, people are going to approach them and want to talk to them."
As a result, he added, "We really look for people who can not only sing and dance but are also personable and very engaging with our guests. We want our cast to be approachable."
Hertenstein said Norwegian attracts some established talent for shows like "Legally Blonde," but mainly recruits performers who are fresh out of college. He's hoping that will change.
"We're trying to get away from the stigma of cruise ship entertainment," he said. "We're working with [choreographer] Patty Wilcox. We have all these incredible, talented directors and creatives that we're working with. And we're trying to attract the stronger performer."
Because of the rolling locations for auditions, performers are typically cast after a single appearance before the companies' theatrical staff. "We usually give them a guideline of what we'd like to see," said Kevin Miller, who leads the casting process for Princess Cruises. "We're going to want something for musical theater that has a sustained belt, and then we're also going to want to see a contemporary pop edge out of them as well."
After being cast, the performers then go to the company's U.S. rehearsal center for five to six weeks before starting a six-month contract at sea.
"It's a great way to save money because your accommodations and food and everything are provided," Miller said, "so I have a lot of performers who do a contract or two and then go back to New York or the West End or wherever their home base may be, and pursue other endeavors."
While on board, performers get "passenger privileges." Top talent are accommodated in their own "officer" grade rooms while dancers generally share a room. But actors don't work a cruise to stay in the room. "Spending the summer in the Mediterranean is not a bad gig," said Miller.

SAN JOSE — Some residents and an elementary school in Willow Glen were briefly ordered to shelter-in-place Thursday morning while police searched for burglars, authorities said.
Schallenberger Elementary School on Koch Lane was ordered to lock its doors — though instruction continued — about 9:45 a.m., and several residents reported getting the same request from police, who were searching an area roughly bounded by Gerald Way and Cottle and Husted avenues.
A police helicopter was summoned to assist the search. The shelter-in-place was lifted at the school at 10:20 a.m.
Further details on the police search were not immediately available.

I was wondering, what do you wear when you have to deliver a cake??
I only deliver wedding cakes. I was thinking, since I have to set it up there, it might look nice to have some kind of 'official' clothing??
I was thinking of:
-some sort of a jacket like a chef's coat with my business name on it??
-a special shirt with my logo on it?
I'm definitely getting a hat and shirt printed for dh since he's my delivery boy sidekick and driver !
What do you guys wear??
I think that polo or henley shirts with your name printed on it would be great. Then depending on the function, you could dress it up with slacks or dress it down with jeans.
I don't wear anything formal, but I do dress nice, yet comfortable. Moving around unloading and setting up the cake can be stressful and hectic. I just try to wear a nice pants suit that is cool and comfortable.
I think your idea is great though... having a shirt with your bakery/business name on it is a great idea!
My SIL was sweet enough to make me a very pretty apron that has Cakes By Lisa embroidered on it. I don't wear it out, but I do wear it whenever someone comes to pick up a cake. I think an embroidered shirt would be nice to wear out. You could also get one of those magnetic signs to put on the side of your car/van.
I live out of town so I delliver all my cakes. Wedding cakes I've done I've also attended the wedding so I was dressed up once and casual the other. For my niece's wedding I got so irritated because the photographer had her list of pics to get and would not/could not do the couple I was to be in after I'd finished setting up the cake. So here I was with a kitchen full of people milling around while I'm working. I ran to get the pics taken and after waiting 20 min doing nothing but wait I ran back to my cakes only to be screamed at to get back to the pics. I told them to come get me when the photographer was ready because I was busy. Did I mention the wedding and buffet dinner/dance were outside in 42 degree weather with 30 mph wind? I may as well admit that I didn't see the 3" step down from patio to dance floor and fell headlong to the concrete. Man was I ever glad to have all that over with! Gee, this got off the subject. Oops... Ü
What a neat idea. I normally do not deliver the birthdaycakes. But when I have the wedding I will.
Have earlier just dressed formally, but have often thought about getting me a chefs coat. Like that ones. And to get my name on the back could be so cool.
clothes... I'd wear clothes.... just messing...but I would.... my ideal wardrobe would be to have an apron that matched the cakes colors... and then I would want to wear pants that compliment the cake.
Now it would differ a bit if I were setting it up before the wedding and such.... I would wear an outfit that was comfortable but one that wouldnt be hurt if I got stuff on it, and do all the cake touching stuff first then before I put the tulle and stuff on, I would change into the outfit above so if someone came in they would see me in a matching outfit...
I know its a bit ridiculous, but hey, like I said in the beginning my ideal would be that...
but I would dress comfortably and still try to wear something to compliment the cake's color.
that is a great idea!!!!!!! i love it!!!! i havent told you what i do at easter time......i have a bunny rabbit costume and i put it on and go around selling my cookies, shaped like rabbits......i have so much fun! i have regular customers that call me the cookie lady and love it when i come.
i love the shirt and hat ideas with my business name i'll have to save some of my cake money to do that...not now though, i have coupons for 50% off at joannes for this weekend. (i scored 4 coupons) so i am going to buy the oval pan set and the square pan set and havent decided what else. maybe i need to post a topic about joannes having 50% off coupons for friday and sat.
Funny thing is that I've also been thinking about that....I have my fav chartreuse apron that I want to have embroidered with my bus name on it...But I was thinking of getting a white chefs jacket/coat...Not a big one though...But that may be overkill for me...donno....kinda cool though to dress up like a real pro!
Well, I'm not 100% sure about the chef's coat yet, because I don't want to over do it or have people think I'm better that I actually am.
But if I do go with it, there is a chef's coat designed especially for women.
It's a little more tailored around the bust area. That way it's not as big and baggy, so it won't get in your way. They also come in neat colours too.
A lot of the women chefs on Food network wear them (when they're in coats).
Thanks for all the responses!
Purple Petunia
Flay, why am I picturing you in a pink outfit with tulle (like little totos) around your neck, wrists and ankles and your business name blazoned out in sparkles on your chest? I think that image is from some old movie I can't place at the moment. Just have identical outfits in different pastels to match you cakes. What fun!
If I got really seriously into doing cakes I think I'd like a nice jacket with my business name on it too. Probably some shirts too. Maybe tees with the name on the back, or something cake related and clever. I work at a massage therapy clinic and my bosses have shirts that say "It feels good to be kneaded." I think I'd like to use Lisa's motto on my shirts. Birthdays are just nature's way of telling us to eat more cake. I love it Lisa!!
What I would wear is some nice khakis, a nice polo top that would have my name embroidered on it, business and/or personal, and then have a nice apron with my name on it, business and/or personal. That way if you get icing on yourself while decorating you can remove the apron and still look professional on your way out the door.
I think I'd like to use Lisa's motto on my shirts. Birthdays are just nature's way of telling us to eat more cake. I love it Lisa!!
Thanks ...it's an anonymous quote. I like the It Feels Good To Be Kneaded. I've also seen a baker's T-shirt that said I See Bread People--LOL (if you've seen Sixth Sense)!
I always dress nice because it seems I deliver and set up the cake, then its MY time and I go out to eat and a movie to relax! But really, at any setup, there's never anyone there anyhow - they're all at the wedding - so its no big deal. But at any rate, I'll always try to look nice so that people don't think I'm a slob and that I licked their batter bowl. ha!
But I DID lick the batter bowl!!! LOL I like Mouse's idea. If/when I do a wedding I'm not also a guest at I'll probably follow her lead. I'm still contemplating a name for my business. Oh, I have a 60th anniversary cake coming up in June and would really really love to get a dedicated printer to do the couple's wedding picture on it. Their daughter (my boss) loved the idea. So I'm thinking hard about that now.
I do the same thing you do, sunlover. My hubby is my set up guy, and we are always so relieved to have the cake set up and standing straight, we go out for dinner and relax!
My business name is "It Takes The Cake!". One name I was contemplating before I decided was "It's a Piece of Cake!" and "Let Them Eat Cake!" Just some ideas for you! Good Luck!
i was thinking what do i wear when i deliver this ladys cakes for her wedding. I wear a white chef coat every day of mylife....haha.. and black pants..its very professional..but then again mymajor in college was culinary and that was my specialty rather than cakes..I think its very nice to see someone in a clean white chef jacket and nice black pants.. Thats how us pros do it in the kitchens lol.. umm.. also they make a variety of chef coats for women.. I have a really nice black one that looks very nice. Because i work at a butcher shop when i know someone is coming to visit i wear a black coat all day so it won't show anything i get on it.. then i change into a white coat.. Also there are some really cool chef clothes out there. When i was in my first years of college my mom made me some really cool chef hats and chef pants. They had cakes and pastry bags and cool stuff on them.. YOu could even make your own apron if you know how to sew.. (it doesn't take a genious... i did it lol) But i think overall when it hink of someone making a cake I would like to see them in a nice apron with the name of their business on it!

Hollywood doesn't make a lot of Western nowadays, probably because unless they have a big star attached, no one will go see it. Or at least, not enough people will go see it to justify the big expense of "a Hollywood movie." That pretty much leaves it to Independent filmmakers to keep the Western genre alive. And one way to do that is to merge the Western genre with another genre in an attempt to nab two niche audiences and recoup the costs of production.
The cumbersomely titled "Legend of the Phantom Rider" (aka "Trigon: the Legend of Pelgidium") is parts Western and parts Fantasy. The film is probably too low key for its own good, with the exception of co-writer/lead actor Robert McRay, who comes from School of Chewing the Scenery that many actors, novices or veterans, fall into when playing the lead villain. McRay is Blade, some sort of ex-Confederate gunman in 1865 who, along with an army of gunmen, takes over a small Western town. Besides the bad habit of killing people after delivering a flowery speech (see that School of Chewing the Scenery comment above), Blade is waiting for the arrival of a mysterious, shadowy figure named Pelgidium (also McRay in a dual role).
The arrival of Pelgidium coincides with the misfortunes of frontierswoman Sarah (Denise Crosby), who arrives in town after her husband and son are murdered in the prairie by Blade and his men. Sarah discovers a town in the grips of terror, but strangely no one bothers to do the sensible thing and pack up and leave. Pelgidium, it turns out, is a slick gunman with a pizza for a face and what seems like a hunch for a back, and as a result he's always hunched over with long hair draped over his face.
"Phantom Rider" is actually a pretty good Western. It has all the cliché and all the criteria of a Western, including men whose skills with a gun is determined by how fast they can draw it; the Cowardly Townspeople in need of saving, which seems to exist in every Clint Eastwood Western; and the Feisty Frontierswoman who somehow remains feminine despite being able to kick men in the balls. And then there's the Final Showdown at the end, with the good guy and bad guy faced off in the dusty street for a gun drawing contest. For those who likes Westerns and could care less about the presence of the Same-o Same-o, then "Phantom Rider" is a good addition.
But of course the screenplay has it in its head that it wants to be something more than just a Western, so we have a clumsy narrative involving "the legend of the Trigon", about how an evil spirit comes to Earth every few hundred years to take the form of man, and must defeat the strongest human "chief" and take his power. And these beings have apparently re-manifested themselves in the form of Blade and Pelgidium, although the movie doesn't clarify who is who, and perhaps that's the whole point. I guess McRay and Erkiletian wanted to turn the whole notion of Good Guys in White Hat and Bad Guys in Black Hat on its head. All I can say is, Who cares?
Denise Crosby, last seen as a ball-busting lesbian police detective on "NYPD Blue", gets top billing, most likely based on name recognition only. She really doesn't have much to do, and her character is too erratic. On more than one occasion she has the drop on Blade, but never shoots him. (Remember that he has murdered her husband and son, and one of his men raped her.) That lack of common sense goes for the rest of the characters. It seems like everyone, at one point or another, has the drop on Blade, only to shoot off at the mouth and end up dead, usually shot by Blade. The whole thing reeks of writer Robert McRay indulging in his actor self.
Angus Scrimm (of "Phantasm" fame) shows up as a boozing preacher who, as all Western preachers are want to do, quotes from the good book every other sentence. Like the rest of the townspeople, his death is unimportant. The rest of the cast are made of unknowns, including lead Robert McRay, who really should feel a slight embarrassment at his turn as the bald headed Blade. It should come as no surprise that McRay's best performance is as Pelgidium. Why? Because Pelgidium only speaks once in the entire movie!
Director Alex Erkiletian has crafted a nice Western. The whole Fantasy angle is rubbish and should have been excised completely. Cinematography by John Roy Morgan is oftentimes inspired, and the Western landscape has never looked more desolate and lonely. But "Phantom Rider" also proves one axiom: actors with vanity issues should never be allowed to write, or direct, their own roles.
Alex Erkiletian (director) / Robert McRay (screenplay)
CAST: Denise Crosby …. Sarah
Robert McRay …. Blade/Pelgidium
Zen Gesner …. Suicide
Angus Scrimm …. Preacher
Stefan Gierasch …. Nathan

jQuery iDTabs help with adding Forms and tables
Hi like the Title of the post says.
i am currently using 'idTabs' created by SunSean @ [ [http://www.sunsean.com/idTabs ]
I have implemented it on to my webpage and it runs perfectly until i try to add a form or table to one of the Tabs.
What happens is that when i add a form or table, for some reason it is visible in any and all other tabs.
how do i stop this from happening?
I thought it was CSS or maybe the way i constructed the page. but with many hours of trial and error i came to the conclusion it was probably the way the JS is.
i know when i want to achieve is possible, but i am less than a novice when it comes to JS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

there are several problems you may want to look at.
1. You are loading the jquery framework twice.
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="sliding_effect.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.3.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.validate.js"></script>
3. I have to ask, why are you loading 2 CSS files and then using inline styles on some elements?
4. you have a few validation problems going on as well ( using xhtml in an html document etc, unclosed LI element,..) - http://http://validator.w3.org/check
remove one of the jquery versions, make sure your html is valid and look over the authors example again.

Earth Day: Five ways we affect the planet
The late Sen. Gaylord Nelson (D) of Wisconsin organized the first Earth Day in 1970 after the devastating oil spill off the coast of Santa Barbara, Calif. The event started as an environmental teach-in, with some 20 million Americans taking part on college campuses across the United States. Today, 500 million people in 175 countries observe Earth Day on April 22 as a way to celebrate the natural world and raise awareness of the environment. How much do humans affect the earth? Click below to find out.
1. Waste: 4.4 pounds per person per day
Americans threw away 250 million tons of trash on 2010, of which about a third was recycled, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). That's a big jump from 1970, when we recycled only 6 percent of our trash. Then again, we only generated 3.25 pounds of waste per person per day back day.'
Recycling activities generated $715 million in revenues for US companies in 2010 – an increase of 26 percent from 2009. Toxic-waste disposal is even bigger: $1.6 billion, with revenues jumping a whopping 36 percent from 2009. Asbestos abatement topped them both: $2.5 billion in revenues, an increase of 22.8 percent from 2009.

Research Details
Are AFDC and SSI Substitutes?
The passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 for the first time placed strict limits on the amount of support families could receive from the Aid to Families with Dependent Children program (AFDC). Generally, researchers and policy makers have both assumed that any substitute support that does arise will be from non-governmental sources – women will either find work, receive support from family members, or be aided by local religious organizations or other private charities. We investigate the potential for one government program, the Social Security Insurance (SSI) program, to simply substitute for the reductions in the AFDC program. We find strong evidence that AFDC and SSI are substitutes. This suggests that at least part of the effect of welfare reform will be to shift the burden of support for poor families from one government program to another rather than from governmental to non-governmental sources.
