The smile you’ve always wanted
You may not even know you suffer from gum disease. “Sometimes before a patient is even aware they have it, the damage has already begun,” says Dr. Omar Usman, Periodontist and Dental Implant Surgeon at Durham Periodontics. “Gum disease causes the jaw bone to deteriorate leading to receding gums and ultimately loose or missing teeth.”
[Wellness] Is cosmetic surgery right for you?
If you’ve often looked in the mirror and craved the return of your flat, pre-childbearing tummy; yearned for larger breasts; or wished the excess skin left behind after you lost weight was gone, then cosmetic plastic surgery may be a practical solution for you. Unlike expensive creams and youth potions that come with unrealistic assurances, the results from plastic surgery are immediate and dramatic. Whether it’s to make you look younger, to reshape your body to look better or to complete your weight loss transformation by removing excess skin, many people are choosing cosmetic plastic surgery to give them the body and the life they want. Cosmetic plastic surgery is not just about how you look outside but how you feel inside. It can raise your confidence, self-esteem, and provide a renewed sense of beauty and energy. ...[Arts & Leisure] Desire a new look for 2012?

Where do trilliums grow? Most pop up in woodland forests, but one very special trillium grew in Ajax coffee shops—a Trillium Book Award for best English-language novel. It bloomed in June when Rabindranath Maharaj scooped up this prestigious $20,000 literary prize for his book The Amazing Absorbing Boy....[Arts & Leisure] Caught in the Slipstream
In 2007, while on private retreat in Port Hope, poet and artist Ingrid Ruthig stared out the bedroom window. The writing refused to flow unprompted. In an effort to “prime the pump,” she determined that every hour on the hour she would write until she’d filled the page with words. ...[Arts] Music to the Eyes
Banking the greenbelt of forest adjoining the Uxbridge Countryside Preserve, artist Shelly Burke works, ripening her vision into fruition through compliant oil paints, while coaxing from the canvas, a bowl of fruit offset by a pair of silver chalices. She pelts the surface with a flurry of short strokes, somehow assured of their cohesive outcome, applying syncopations of colour like a succession of musical notes....[Arts] Save a Day for Monet
Visitors to Paris are often overwhelmed by how much there is to see and do. It’s a special city with a special character, but it’s frantic and busy. Make it easy on yourself and save a day for Giverny. It’s an hour’s drive from Paris, but a world away from the chaotic big city. And, getting there is easy. You can take a morning train to Vernon and then board a local bus for Giverny, or alternatively sign up for a day trip offered by one of the many Paris tour companies. The village is charming and dotted with art galleries and artisan’s shops and little cafes, but the main reason for going to Giverny is to see Claude Monet’s house and garden....[Drive] BMW's seductive 335i
Some cars drive by and leave onlookers with little option but to stare at the beauty of the shape. Others attract looks with the sound of the engine roar. And still others, such as the BMW 335i sedan, just draw attention. We are not quite sure why we are staring, but there seems to be a mystique about the vehicle....
[Arts] Illuminating Daniel Colby
Looking at his work, one becomes transfixed by the seductive splash of natural light that illuminates the subject in many of his splendid paintings. A young master of ordaining and orchestrating brushstrokes to bring an array of features into the fore, 31 year old Daniel Colby has only emerged on the art scene in recent years – but quite an entrance he has made....
