Cosmetic dentistry has come a long way in the past 5-10 years. As it becomes more acceptable to improve ones appearance through more invasive means, so has the demand grown for such services.

Cosmetic dental procedures have improved in terms of the techniques, the range of treatments available and certainly the speed with which results can be obtained. Dental implants is a more invasive procedure but with newer technology and techniques, the whole process is reported to be fairly comfortable and the results life-changing for the patient. Those who have missing teeth or who wear dentures can now have a viable alternative for a permanent fix.

The City of London is a hotbed of young types and business professionals where image is everything and very important.

You can just print money with no consequences. Here is a great explanatory video about how quantitative easing works, enjoy....

In the United Kingdom, thousands of people take logbook loans every single day. To say the least, they are very popular. Before delving any further, it might be a good idea to understand what a logbook is. In the simplest definition, it is a document that is issued to car owners by a vehicle licensing body. Within it are various details of the car such as colour, model number, chassis number, engine number, driver information etc.

Eligibility for a Logbook Loan

Anyone who owns an insured vehicle that is not older than 8 years can apply for a logbook loan. The applicant should also not have any outstanding loans where the vehicle in question is the security. In order to get a logbook loan, you will have to relinquish your logbook to the company that is lending you money. You will, however, still retain possession of the vehicle and use it as you please. An important point to note is that you will not be able to sell off your vehicle until you finish repaying whatever you owe the lender.

Another requirement is a stable source of income. Nobody will give you their money if you do not have the means to repay them. Probably the most notable advantage of logbook loans is that they require a very short period of time to process. In most cases, you will be able to get your money in a matter of hours.

Good credit not a necessity

Logbook loan lenders are never interested in the borrower's credit history. This is for the simple reason that they have sufficient security in the form of a vehicle which they can sell off in the event that the borrower defaults. So whether you have defaulted before; have issues with late payments and arrears or are downright bankrupt, you can still secure a logbook loan. Undoubtedly this can come in quite handy for emergency financial situations.

With logbook loans, one can borrow anything from 500 pounds to 5000. Those who are in need of more can always discuss further with the lender. The amount of money that you can borrow will to a large extent depend on the value of your vehicle in its current state. Most people find the terms of repayment pretty flexible.

Online Loans

You can apply for a logbook loan online (http://www.logbookloansuk247.co.uk). There are quite a number of logbook lenders in the UK today and, therefore, you will not be short of options. It is important to go through several lender websites, paying close attention to the terms and conditions. Only go for a provider who you feel fully meets your needs. Comparing and contrasting -- that's the best way of finding the right lender.

It is also vital that you take time to confirm whether a particular lender is legitimate or not. This is because there could be some fraudsters out there whose only intention is to dupe desperate and unsuspecting borrowers. It is always important to read customer testimonials as this will help you understand what to expect from the various companies that you might be considering. Simply put, do your research.

Applying for a logbook loan

First and foremost you will be required to fill out an application form. These forms are usually placed in plain view on the websites of logbook lenders. After providing the necessary details (which usually include name, address, income and employment information), submit the form.

After some time, the lender will contact you. They will tell you to show up at the lender's physical address with your car and its documents. If they confirm that everything is okay, the money will be wired to your bank account. Your car documents will remain with the lender until you pay them back.

It is important to understand that logbook loans attract high interest rates. Despite the fact that they can prove very helpful in emergency situations, it is very vital that you repay as and when required otherwise you could end up in a lot of financial trouble.

Unlike other types of loans, logbook loans do not require extensive paperwork and credit checks. Needless to say, they offer the best option for acquiring instant cash. They can be extremely helpful for individuals who are unable to secure other loan types, provided they can pay back all they owe in a timely manner.

In summary, if your credit history is nothing to write home about but you are in need of quick cash to boost your business, settle bills or anything else of the sort, logbook loans will come in quite handy.

Ok, being a guy from the UK, I often watch the news, and more often than not, there is usually some stuff from our American friends. The latest drama seemed to be a Government shutdown. This was quite amazing and really got my attention.

Now, I certainly don't know a lot about ins and out of the issue but the general gist is that President Obama brought in a law tha allowed affordable healthcare for all Americans. This was passed as law and was approved by the courts and even the Republicans (perhaps not all!). Now, something about the government running out of funds to 'operate' and new funds are not being made available because a motion was blocked by the Republicans as they were essentially holding the government to hostage. My understanding is that they are not supportive of the affordable care law/act (from what I gather, also called 'Obamacare'), and want the President to stop or tone down this 'right' before agreeing to resume the funding that the government desperately needs to operate.

From my point of view and a very shallow understanding of things, my first thought was WTF! How can a politcal party stop/block funding which essential to the running of government. Something that has forced hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans to take unpaid leave. It's crazy to say the least! All because the Republicans are against the Obamacare.

Coming from the UK where medical care is free at the point of contact, I find it amazing that the US being a 'superpower' and supposed land of the free etc etc, are not supportive of affordable healthcare for all. Is this a case of keeping those without or struggling in the status quo? Is access to healthcare not everyones right?

Before I get a load of messages saying that I don't know what I'm talking about, perhaps you're right and I do admit to not knowing too much about it but the general issue I understand. I'm surprised that the government workers don't do a mass demonstration to show their outrage. Whilst they are pissing about in their offices, those guys are out of work and out of pocket. Times are hard enough as it is without this.

Anyway, I found this interesting video on YouTube about the issue which I found entertaining and informative. Enjoy...

All you Republicans involved in this, shame on you!

Yep this is my first proper post so I'll keep it short. This little blog is just going to be a place where me a relative young guy (37!) living int he UK can moan about life and also celebrate the good stuff as well. The news is shit, war is shit, everything seems to be shit, but if you ignore the media and look around, there is hope yet. Stay tuned.
