How To Decide On The Type Of Teeth Whitening Procedure To Suit You
There are different factors playing a role in the decision making regarding the type of teeth whitening to acquire.
Commitment
If you decide on a specific tooth whitening procedure, you need to follow the steps closely, listen to authoritative advice and persevere untill you achieve the results you crave for.
Objectives
Right from the onset you need to be clear of what tooth shade can be achieved with your chosen teeth whitening procedure and the reasons behind that. This will give you the right mindset and calculated expectations in working towards your goal. Approaching your objective, of getting whiter teeth scientifically, will lessen the risk of failure.
Duration
The duration of treatment will be determined by your objectives. If you want to have white teeth in 3 days for your wedding photos, then it will be of minimal use to start home remedies or over the counter products and you will be limited to an in-office treatment. The same situation will apply if your circumstances don’t allow you to wear trays nightly or you cannot see your way open in visiting your cosmetic dentist three to four times.
Cost
Home remedies may not be effective, but at least are not expensive at all. Over the counter products will cost way lower than in-office bleaching. The costs are totally affected by your commitment,goals and how quickly you want to see results.
Every teeth whitening procedure available nowadays to correct discoloration of the teeth by removing the brown and yellow staining, work effectively, but has advantages and disadvantages. The type of procedures available should be discussed with your cosmetic dentist, to find the most appropriate recommendation for you.
TEETH WHITENING (In-Office)
Using a special light with a whitening gel, this is an in-office bleaching system. It is often followed up with an at-home teeth whitening kit for ultimate results.
The translucent whitening gel is applied to the outside of the teeth and a special activating light is used in activating the crystals, absorbing the energy from the light and penetrating the teeth enamel for an increased lightening effect on the
teeth. The duration in the dentist’s chair depends on the degree of discoloration you have, but two hours is average.
Advantage: One visit is usually sufficient for a whiter smile. The tooth whitening treatment typically costs 500.
Disadvantage: The sudden acquisition of white is likely to be noticed by those around you immediately.
LASER BLEACHING (In-Office)
Using a laser with a whitening gel, this is an in-office bleaching system.
The translucent bleaching gel is applied to the teeth and a laser light is used to activate the crystals to absorb the energy from the light and penetrate the teeth enamel to increase the lightening effect on the teeth. The length of time in the
cosmetic dentist’s chair depends on the degree of discoloration you have.
Advantage: One visit is usually all it takes for a bright smile.
Disadvantage: The sudden change of color is likely to be noticed by those around you immediately. This is the more expensive of the procedures available, but also the quickest.
LASER BLEACHING (In-Office)
The only difference is that the dentist is now using a laser with a whitening gel, this is an in-office bleaching system.
The translucent bleaching gel is applied to the teeth and the laser light is used to activate the crystals to absorb the energy from the laser and penetrate the teeth enamel to increase the whitening effect on the teeth. The length of time in the
dentist’s chair depends on the amount of discoloration you have.
Advantage: One visit is usually all it takes for a dazzling smile.
Disadvantage: Again, the sudden exhibition of brilliant white teeth is likely to be noticed by those around you immediately. This is the more expensive of the teeth whitening procedures available, but also the quickest.
CUSTOM FIT TRAY BLEACHING (In-Home)
A custom designed tray is worn over your teeth for a period of weeks. A small amount of the bleaching gel is placed in the tray and worn for at least 8 hours each day. This is a common procedure that is easy to use and costs less. Impressions are taken of your mouth and a thin custom made plastic tray is made which you take home and wear for minimum one to two hours per day, preferably 8 hours for quick and consistent results.
While some results may be seen in a couple days, it usually takes one to two weeks to see the changes. After two weeks your dentist will compare your teeth to the shade taken at the beginning of the teeth whitening procedure.This procedure is sometimes used in combination with the in-office laser whitening if you have severe discoloration (dark grey or purple) or internal teeth staining.
Advantage: A gradual whitening of your teeth over time will be less noticeable to others that you’re undergoing this procedure. The cost is lower than in-office laser whitening.
Disadvantages: This procedure will require two to four visits to the cosmetic dentists office.
STORE-BOUGHT WHITENING STRIPS (In-Home)
A whitening strip is fitted over your upper and lower teeth. You’ll wear them for a half hour to one hour once a day depending on the brand. This is the most common technique because it’s easy to use and costs less. The strips are comfortable and have no trouble staying in place. Speaking is slightly affected while wearing them.
While some results may be seen in a couple days, it usually takes one week for the faster strips to one month for the slower systems for you to see the full whitening of your teeth. This whitening strip procedure is sometimes used in conjunction with the in-office laser whitening, depending on the severity of severe discoloration (dark grey or purple) or internal teeth staining.
Whitening pens have more or less the same effect, but are definitely more comfortable to use and mainly the celebrities’ choice of topping up their teeth whitening after in-office treatment.
Advantage: You set the pace. You can whiten your teeth as fast or slow depending on which system you select. Some whiten in as
little as one week. Usually you only wear the strips for thirty minutes at a time

Macarthur Minerals Limited: Lake Giles Resource Estimate Exceeds 1 Billion Tonnes
Market Wire, December, 2009
Macarthur Minerals Limited (TSX VENTURE: MMS) is today providing the updated results of a new National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101)-compliant independent resource estimate for its Lake Giles project located in Western Australia. CSA Global (“CSA”), an independent, internationally recognized mineral industry consultant, carried out the estimate. The results are a significant improvement on the 2008 Mineral Resource and cover only a portion of the mineralizing system identified to date, with potential from a further 49 targets.
Updated Lake Giles NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate
The Lake Giles NI 43-101 Mineral Resource estimate has been updated by CSA with the addition of a new estimate for the Moonshine deposit. The Moonshine deposit is located within the Lake Giles Project, to the south. No new estimates were completed for the company’s four other deposits within the Lake Giles project.
The resource estimate is based on the Stage 7 drilling data, new geological interpretation and mapping over the last 6 months.
The updated Mineral Resource estimate is shown in Table 1. The Lake Giles project is at an early stage of evaluation. Macarthur has not established the economic viability of the Mineral Resources, and no Ore Reserve estimates have been produced for the deposit. The extent to which mining, metallurgical, marketing, infrastructure, permitting, marketing and other financial factors may affect Mineral Resource estimates is not yet well defined.
The new Moonshine Inferred Mineral Resource estimate increases the company’s total Inferred Mineral Resource estimate for the Lake Giles project to 1,051 million tonnes at 28.3 % Fe (Table 1).

(rounding errors may occur)
Notes for table 1:
-- Figures contained within Table 1 have been rounded. % Fe grades are
rounded to 1 decimal figure.
-- Davis Tube concentrate results is the proportion of sample extractable
by magnetic separation.
-- Magnetite mineralization at Moonshine is interpreted to comprise several
sub-vertical northwest trending zones of banded iron formation (BIF)
associated with ultramafic rocks. The mineralized interpretation used
for the estimates extends from the base of oxidation at an average of
approximately 60 metres below surface. Where drilling is shallow the
interpretation is projected to 250 mRL, about 230m below the surface.
Where drilling is deeper the interpreted mineralisation is projected to
0.6 times the search radius below the drill samples, about 280m below
the surface.
-- The Moonshine deposit has been sampled by 108 RC holes drilled

Texas Mutual Encourages Public to Follow Holiday Fire Safety Tips
Business Wire, Dec 07, 2009
AUSTIN, Texas — Between December 24 and December 26, deaths, injuries and dollar losses
caused by fires increase an average of 50 percent, 61 percent and 43
percent, respectively, according to the U.S. Fire Administration. Texas
Mutual Insurance Company, the states leading provider of workers
compensation insurance, encourages the public to follow these tips to
reduce the chances of fire during the holidays.
Holiday lights:
-
Do not overload electrical circuits. Follow manufacturer guidelines
for the number of light strands connected to each other. Do not use
multiple-plug adapters to increase the number of items you can connect
to a standard electrical outlet. -
Inspect all electrical items before you use them. On light strands,
look for broken or cracked light sockets, frayed or bare wires and
loose connections. Make sure the ground prong on three-prong plugs is
in place. -
If you use electrical cords or lights outside, make sure they are
rated for outdoor use.
Trees:
-
Make sure live trees are fresh, with no brown needles or dry limbs.
Give them plenty of water. -
Spray live trees with a fire retardant. Tree vendors and local home
improvement stores usually carry fire-retardant spray. -
Check the box and the safety tag on artificial trees to make sure they
are flame-resistant

Cyber-stalkers can be found lurking in phones, computers
0 Comments | Winnipeg Free Press, Nov 3, 2009 | by Sanders, Carol
TECHNOLOGY has helped people escape from domestic violence through online help, but the wireless world and the Internet have also helped abusers to stalk and trap their victims.
“We’ve had people die as a result of cyber-stalking,” said Cynthia Fraser, a Washington, D.C.-based technology safety specialist. The member of the National Network to End Domestic Violence “safety net project” is in Winnipeg to teach people on the front lines of domestic violence how to deal with “techno-stalking.”
The stalkers are listening in on cordless phone conversation and using “spyware” to track and monitor their prey’s computer use, said Fraser.
And it’s happening here.
Last year, a Winnipeg man in his 30s admitted to stalking his ex-girlfriend and listening in on her private phone conversations by parking outside her apartment block armed with a high-frequency scanner.
Manitoba justice officials said at the time the case was one of the first of its kind in the province.
Kevin Rose was sentenced to a period of probation after pleading guilty to the rarely used charge of “intercepting private communications.” Police caught him in the act, arresting Rose as he sat in his car behind the woman’s apartment. He had a scanner attached to the visor and was wearing an earpiece, according to court documents. The 28-year-old victim had no idea her phone chats were being monitored.
“It’s kind of scary,” said Sheila Hillier, with the Interlake Women’s Resource Centre in Gimli. “Most people have cordless phones,” said the social worker in Winnipeg for a gathering of the Manitoba Family Violence Consortium, the umbrella group for 33 provincially funded agencies.
She sees the victims of cyber-stalking and domestic violence — including children, the silent witnesses.
“Often they take responsibility for the violence,” said Hillier, who is relieved her agency just received provincial funding to hire a counsellor to work with the children of domestic violence. The province said it is going after the root of the “terror” that is domestic violence with a four per cent increase in funding this year for working with children affected by it. They may have “serious, emotional and behavioural problems,” Family Services and Housing Minister Gord Mackintosh said at a Consortium press conference. “One of the impacts is they may go on to do violence against others… or become victims themselves.” Domestic abusers may use their kids “as pawns in an abusive relationship” to control or threaten their victims, Mackintosh said. That’s why the Winnipeg Children’s Access Agency is needed to provide safe, supervised visits, he said

Alleged Tiger Woods mistress denies affair
0 Comments | AFP, December, 2009
NEW YORK (AFP) A nightclub hostess said by US tabloids to have been having a fling with golf star Tiger Woods ahead of his mysterious car crash said on Tuesday that the story was no truer than “aliens on Earth.”
“It’s the most ridiculous story. It’s like they are asking me to comment if there are aliens on Earth,” Rachel Uchitel told the New York Post daily.
The Enquirer and Star gossip tabloids have reported that Woods was having an affair with Uchitel and that the dalliance prompted a violent dispute between the megastar and his wife, leading to Friday’s car accident.
Uchitel, a statuesque brunette pictured in figure hugging trousers, shirt and waist-length leather jacket, told the Post she had met Woods only twice while working as a VIP nightclub…
Temptation at the table
0 Comments | Manila Bulletin, Dec 9, 2009
Your doctor may “tsk-tsk” all he or she wants, but nothing spells celebration more than having a lechon at the holiday table. In the Philippines, Christmas means wanton abandonment of diets, after all.Legend has it that roast pork was accidentally invented when a naughty boy let their hut burn to ashes with their pigs trapped inside.
When he smelled the cooked meat, he was tempted to touch the pigs, and tasted the crackling skin on his burnt finger. Thus, the delicacy known as roast pigs came into being, and insurance premiums have never been the same again.That is said to be an old Chinese tale, but here, in Manila, there is a lechon brand that is also guaranteed to bring the house down. It is called Manongs Lechon Cebu, and it can be found at the food court area of SM North EDSA. According to young lechonero, Roland Paares, who is actually the Manong of Manongs, lechon Cebu has a very distinct flavor compared to other lechon that we are used to buying from the La Loma area in Manila. They simply use salt to season their roasted pig, but in Cebu, we stuff our lechon with other spices, such as lemongrass or tanglad to give it more zing he says.But then, even Manongs lechon is different from the other lechon Cebu brands, because they stuff it with a secret ingredient that gives it even more flavor. The lemongrass simply adds aroma to the product, whereas our ingredient adds to the taste of the lechon, he smiles. And the lechon is tasty indeed. The meat simply melts in the mouth and lingers on the taste buds like a dream the perfect treat to tempt the senses in the coming holidays, or even on ordinary days, when one is simply hankering for something to bring life to a simple meal at the mall. Speaking of temptation, one of the most unforgettable experiences I had here at the foodcourt was when we observed an elderly lady customer rush to our stall and order our lechon. She sat down at one of the corners of the eating area, and ate her food hurriedly and stood up to walk around. We were very puzzled about it, until we saw the ladys daughter approach her and ask where she has been. The old lady replied innocently that she was just looking for a place to sit down! Apparently, the mom pulled a fast one on her daughter. Paares laughed. The price of a slice of heaven is quite reasonable. One-fourth kilo of the lechon Cebu costs about P170, while a kilo of the lechon (which we hope is intended for sharing) goes for P680. The meat is tender and tasty all the way through, so diners are sure to be happy with whatever part of the deliciously unforgettable lechon they are served. There are other dishes at the Manongs stall 13 choices in fact including a very appetizing bopis, where you taste less spice and more of the meaty goodness of the, er, innards; and an irresistible version of binagoongan that is sure to satisfy without the umay, because you get to savor the texture and taste of the meat without the overpowering salty taste of shrimp paste. Another sure winner is their rendering of the lechon paksiw, which is more akin to the Manileo hamonado. Their main kitchen man swears that their paksiw tastes better if you use their lechon to begin with because it already has all the flavors sealed in from the roasting
