0 Comments | Taranaki Daily News; New Plymouth, New Zealand, Jul 27, 2010
Motorcycles running on fuel and goodwill will call New Plymouth home for a night in November when the inaugural Variety Bike Bash roars into town.
Run by Variety – The Children’s Charity, the bike ride starts in Auckland on November 21 and will travel 1200km, arriving in Invercargill on Friday, November 26, for the iconic Burt Munro Challenge.
New Plymouth will be the first overnight stop on the Sunday as the riders arrive via Auckland and Hamilton. They will then ride to Wanganui, and on to Wellington where they will stop on November 22.
The event is designed to combine “fantastic scenery and great roads” with fundraising for Kiwi kids.
“The Bike Bash is based on Variety’s signature fundraising event, the Variety Bash. After 20 years of crazy cars, fire engines and other vehicles we decided it was time bikers had a chance to join the fun,” Variety chief executive Lorraine Taylor said

The gurus of our day, from Oprah, to Martha Stewart, to Dr. Phil, to Donald Trump, all entice us towards improving ourselves, our looks, our relationships, our finances, our surroundings ? our whole life. We are dissatisfied with ourselves as we are because we have caught a glimpse of what we can become.
To keep us motivated in that direction, we need a vision of perfection to work towards, even if we know we?ll never quite get there.
When it comes to weight control, what will keep us riveted on our goal? To look as gorgeous as the cover models on Cosmopolitan or the chunky figures in the Dove Ads?
We don?t want to be patronized by the marketing mavens. We don?t want a subtle reminder that we need to set our sights lower or aspire to something less than excellence. We want a dream that soars, that inspires us to unbelievable heights. We want a vision to move towards, no matter how unlikely it is that we will reach that destination. So keep your condescending ?Go ahead and settle for this? approach away, please.

Being handsome or beautiful has definite advantages in when it comes to dating and marriage. Who doesn?t like to have a Hollywood smile with white teeth? That?s why dentistry offers the specialty ? cosmetic dentistry.
There are many cosmetic problems with gums and teeth that cosmetic dentists can rectify. Gaps can be closed between teeth, and chipped and broken teeth can be repaired. Teeth can be whitened and crooked teeth can be straightened. Cosmetic dentistry is relatively new and has been taking the world by storm for the past ten years.
If you need cosmetic dentistry, you can look in your local phone book or online. Your first appointment will be a consult where your options will be explained to you, the type of treatment you will need, how long it will take and the cost. You will also find out if your insurance will cover the treatment. Usually, the dentist will show “before and after” photographs of different smiles for you to decide on, and based on your decision, the dentist will develop a specific treatment plan.
The three most popular treatment options used by cosmetic dentists are porcelain veneers that are used to repair or enhance your front teeth.
