Sermon for 7/24/2010 Texts: Genesis 18:20-32; Colossians 2:6-19To say that Abraham was bold would be an understatement. How did he have the guts to nickel and dime God over the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah? But what's even more remarkable is the fact that Abraham is not pleading God's mercy for himself, his family, or even his political allies. This was Sodom and Gomorrah. For those of you who don't know the story, two angels visited Abraham's nephew Lot in Sodom, and a mob surrounded the house d … [Read more...]

A word from Bolton's
London's Bolton's Restaurant is a popular City haunt, offering a simple combination of fresh Italian flavours and laid back but stylish atmosphere. Tucked down a side road just off of Fenchurch Street, Bolton's has long been a favourite of the high powered bankers and businessmen of the local area, earning a reputation as a place to network and entertain. With its subtle hints of luxury and affluence the Bolton's dining room is unpretentious and timeless, very much like its cuisine. A tour of Italy's famous culinary regions, the Bolton's menu is hearty but elegant, every dish given the unique flavour of this high end restaurant through the use of good ingredients and stunning presentation.Continued

- Old School ItalianMarkinusaVIPDined on 6/11/2014It had been a while since last going to Bolton's but was pretty happy with my meal there. It was a business lunch and so expect to pay business lunch prices - £50 p.h. for two a la carte courses, a beer each, and inclusive of service charge. It's a typical Italian eaterie so was happy with the quality of the food, whilst quality of service depends on which waiter serves you (there was a combination of waiters attending the table and some seem to care more about service than others). Given it 4 stars overall, perhaps generously as it was worth more than 3 but probably less than 4.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Boltons lunch reviewRhianDined on 6/6/2014I had a perfectly ok lunch here but the food was expensive for what it was. Service was fast and over-efficient to the point of being brusque. We had booked for 2.30pm and definitely felt they were trying to get rid of us. Good, basic Italian food. I selected the restaurant because it was close to my workplace, but for great Italian food I would go elsewhere, notably La Barca at Waterloo.

- Boltons near Monument looksDanMDined on 21/3/2012Boltons near Monument looks like a downstairs bar that doubles as an Italian restaurant. The waiters had a lot of Italian affectation, but it really is not traditional Italian. Food was decent, but a real Italian would not serve their food with such a mmorass of Italian style accompaniments (balsamic vinegar on a salad starter which already had a sauce). Service was fast and was pleasant overall. Didn't look at the wine list.

- Bolton's at The Monument,VivaDined on 6/3/2012Bolton's at The Monument, London was a good lunchtime venue. Hidden away in a small alley, downstairs, it would be easy to miss. We arrived at midday and it was jam-packed with business lunches at 12.30pm. The food was generously portioned and very wholesome. Calamari, asparagus and fettucine starters were great followed by lamb shank (fell of the bone) and tagliatelle mains were suitably filling. The waiters were attentive and professional and they all added to the hustle-bustle of this Italian

I am looking for information about Captain Henry Beusse. He lived in Athens from the early 1850s until his death in 1903. He was the first Mayor of Athens and started the Pioneer Hook and Ladder fire company. I have a book written by his son that has some good information but I am looking for more info concerning his personal life (journals, minutes, etc). If anyone has anything please contact me. I am working on a possible article about Mr. Beusse and need some more information to make it possible.

text: Coalition Seat Clamp Seatpost Clamp "Untitled" I have no clue what it is, but with this clamp I have broken the clamp bolts. I made sure on the second bolt that I wasn't over tightening and it wouldn't hold my seat. I work at a shop and I know of a couple kids that have this problem. I even gave my old one away to a kid and he's broke some of the bolts. It looks cool but, I wouldn't reccomend it.

China's Li Na overpowered second-seeded Maria Sharapova 6-2, 6-2 to advance to the Australian Open final and a chance for her second Grand Slam title. Li, who won the 2011 French Open and was the losing finalist here to Kim Clijsters the same year, broke Sharapova's serve in the fifth and seventh games of the second set on Thursday. Sharapova had dropped only nine games in five matches en route to the semifinals, a tournament record. The sixth-seeded Li, who has been working since August with Justine Henin's former coach, Carlos Rodriquez, will play either defending champion Victoria Azarenka or 19-year-old American Sloane Stephens in Saturday night's final.

text: A new friend? Amateur..."Alright then, I'm sticking to you like glue!" The idiot said.Are you wondering what just happened? Let me explain.I was lounging on a dark night in the local park, where there were few people. It was about 2:47 or so, and I was enjoying the breeze. But then I heard footsteps. I thought about going limp and pretending I was asleep, but, for some reason, I lifted up my head. I was actually hoping to see a beautiful young lady who might be running from a sex offender, and maybe I'd save her and have a snack.What I saw was not running from a sex offender, it was not a lady, and it was definitely not beautiful. My neck settled into a normal position, and I found myself nose-to-nose with a stupid-looking blond haired boy. His hair was obviously bleached -- and badly done at that. His eyes were wide and quizzical, shining with wonder. The worst part was the moment he opened his mouth."Are you a vampire?" He asked hesitantly. There was a long silence between us. Why not just say it?

I have been working at Arrow Electronics full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
Arrow is an enormous company with amazing opportunities at their Corporate office in Denver (Englewood). As a Product Manager, you get to experience a little bit of everything (sales, operations, customer service, inventory). The position is a very good launching point for something else internally if you choose to do so. You technically only need to be at your position a year before you apply for anything else, but I suggest you give it more time - 2 or 3 years - and become an expert in the industry/technology before moving up.Cons
Very fast paced and demanding (although I'm the type that appreciates that aspect). Sometimes it can become monotonous, but honestly, name a job that isn't from time to time. The "training" is more of a baptism by fire, but your teammates understand this and are SO very helpful - and willing to help :-)Advice to ManagementAdvice
Experience is definitely something to consider, but personalities and skill sets are too. Sometimes I think management rushes the hiring process to fill a gap, when it would be better to wait for a better team fit.RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO

Winter Is Here, DamnitNovember 13th, 2014 Posted in Thoughts & Thanks | 2 Comments »
I don't like the cold! D: *stomps foot like a child*
I loveeee EVERYTHING about the heat (except maybe sweating profusely when it's like 100+ degrees, but even that I can handle).
However, I love very few things about the cold..
1. Scarves
2. Soup
3. Reasons to drink more coffee & tea
4. Snuggling with blankets & people
5. & how it looks outside. I love that during every season though. Nature is just so beautiful!
I think my least favorite thing about the cold is having to wear socks. I seriously DESPISE socks. I want to be barefoot or in flip-flops forever. Socks suck.
End of rant.
Since I last posted….
1. I celebrated my 3-year-veganniversary! I'm like 80% vegan / 20% pescetarian right now. Sushi happens. Breakfast tacos happen more often than sushi. #sorrynotsorry HAH, but still – 3 years is impressive & I'm proud of myself!
2. Went to my second Quidditch tournament to support Craig & his team (& I'm going to my third one this weekend)! Even though it was cold & rainy, it was still awesome! (: & Craig's team won, of course! PS, you should watch Mudbloods – it's a documentary on Quidditch! It's even on Netflix. Check that shit out!
3. I decided internet dating is lame & people portray themselves online wayy differently than they do in person. & everyone is THIRSTYYY. Hahah, for real though.
4. I finally got to hang out with my good friend, Mark, after not seeing him for almost 2 years even though he lives just 3 hours away in Dallas.. *cough cough* Haha, anyway, it was SO VERY good to see him! I am so glad that he is doing well & kicking ass in school! (:
5. I went to the TCE Trash Makeover event! It was great to see all the impressive recycled fashion designs & hang out with my old co-workers & celebrate all of TCE's victories they have achieved over this last year! I'll love all the TCE-ers forever & always! <3
6. The love/lust/longing/whatever the fuck it is that I'm feeling right now is really fucking complicated. I know what I want & I know what I don't want & I don't know what I want & I don't know what I don't want & I'm fucking confused by everything related to my love life. Bleghh. *takes deep breath*
7. My dad turned 59 & still looks like he is 40! Hahah, yeahhh, so glad I have those genes! We went to Jack Allen's Kitchen for their breakfast/brunch and it was absolutely DELICIOUS. The tomato-basil-feta-quiche-pie-thing… *drools* :b Then we watched the movie Divergent, which was pretty good – it kind of reminded me of Hunger Games.
8. One of my best friends, Marissa, turned 31! We had birthday drinks at Sherlock's Pub! Yay for birthdays & best friends! *Note to self: We need to hang out more often!*
9. & speaking of best friends, I finally got to hang out with one of my other besties, Kelly Joy, & I got to meet her man, Andrew! They are such a cute couple! <3 *Note to self: We also need to hang out more!*
10. I caught up with my friend/old roommate, Molly! We normally have dinner together about once a month, but it had been a few months since I had seen her. I love how she has such a different view on life than I do, yet we are able to share our sides & see things differently & appreciate the other's view. Plus, we always have the best girl chat / dishing of dirt over margaritas. :b Really, we can't go wrong.
11. Craig & I went as Marry Poppins & Bert the Chimney Sweep for Halloween! We had a blast at the parties we went to & received lots of compliments on our costumes – we even won first prize in a costume contest at a party we didn't attend! :b
12. I moved out of my crazy ex-roommate's place! Hooray, that psycho asshole is no longer in my life! Hahah, seriously though.. I am SO MUCH HAPPIER living with my friends, Sean & Laura! (: I am surrounded by good people & sweet dogs. <3 Zero complaints.
13. I paid off my Invisalign! I didn't necessarily expect to so soon, but the interest rate was fucking OUTRAGEOUS & I about vomited when I saw what they were charging me, so I paid it ALL off. I am so grateful I have the finances available to do this. Yay for financial responsibility!
14. I'm still going to the Austin Poetry Slam every Tuesday! <3 It's my version of church.. & I LOVEEE it.
15. Since it's cold now, I'm starting yoga again! Hooray for heated studios! Oh how I love the feeling of being in a studio again. <3 I feel at peace & stretched on multiple levels. Maybe I should just do this instead of focusing on my confusing love life dilemmas? Yeahh, that sounds like a good plan. Haha, plus – there is NO WAY I am running outside in this weather. Nuh uh.
16. I probs shouldn't post this last one, but fuck it – I finally heard something from the Peace Corps! They nominated me for a position in Ethiopia & said they would contact me with more info in a few months & I might have an interview to do in the future! My goodness, this is a sloww process! Also, I have super mixed feels about going to Ethiopia for 2 years.. but my friend, Rachel, is headed there in January, so I'm trying to calm myself down about it. 8D *terrified excitement*
… & that's about all for now – XoXo – love you all! <3 <3 <3
September(ish) Scoop!October 8th, 2014 Posted in Thoughts & Thanks | No Comments »
Yay! It's October now! That means Halloween & Sean/Laura's BAD ASS Halloween party at the end of the month! :D
So, between my last update at the end of August and me typing this right now…
1. I'm still attending the Austin Poetry Slam at Spider House Ballroom every Tuesday with Craig & I continue to find myself in tears every fucking time at the raw beauty and open honesty of it all. <3 Ugh, endless good feels.
2. I celebrated my one-year anniversary at the Law Office! One of my bosses even bought me flowers and vegan cupcakes to show the love & I most definitely feel it! <3 Also, they have been giving me wayy more work, like actual legal work, which keeps me busy and engaged. (: I'm a happy little legal assistant right now.
3. I finally bought a new duvet cover for my bed!!! I got rid of my old one back in April when my ex and I separated because it was all memory soaked – you know how that goes. Anyway, I LOVE my new one & am SO VERY happy that I can finally be comforted again by my big fluffy comforter just in time for winter. <3
4. I dealt with some family drama/issues, which is always a blast. (Sarcasm font – why do you not exist yet?) But things are getting better, I think, and I am happy that the people close to me are making important positive changes in their lives to better themselves. (: I am very proud of them and I love them indefinitely. <3 (I know I'm being vague here, but I'm not here to air my family's "dirty laundry," just my own, haha.)
5. Speaking of dirty laundry though… the MOST RIDICULOUS thing is happening in my life right now. A few months ago I moved into this adorable little townhome off Manchaca/S. Lamar that I absolutely love, but my PSYCHO ROOMMATE is KICKING ME OUT OF MY OWN HOME WHERE WE SPLIT ALL BILLS 50/50 because I am -get this – "TOO SEXUAL" of a person for him. HAHAHAHA, yes, you read that correctly. Apparently, the sex that I have ONCE A WEEK (maybe twice on a good week) with the SAME PERSON makes me a "sexual deviant" in his eyes and it's "off-putting" and "disgusting" to live with and I need to "class myself up." BAHAHAHAHAH. I am not even joking – these are direct quotes & I have the text messages to prove it. So yeah, I'm currently looking for a new place to live (most likely alone again, for self explanatory reasons) and will be moving on Nov. 1st. If you are a friend and have a truck *nudge nudge, hint hint* I love you forever for helping me. (;
6. I went on a lovely beach trip with an awesome group of people that I am so grateful to know! We rented a condo in Port Aransas and stayed there for 4 days/ 3 nights. It was gray most of the time we were there, & the beach was… well – it's the Gulf Coast, aka the armpit of America. :P If you've been, you know. We all had a great time though! The first night we made a large bonfire on the beach and the other two nights we stayed in and hung out with each other and laughed and played cards and such. It was really relaxing trip. I read through almost 3 books and we were sober for about zero percent of the time, hahah, it was exactly what we all needed.
7. I sincerely wanted to go to the Gay Pride Parade downtown (I went last year and LOVED it!), but I totally slept through it this year on accident. /: My heart and spirit were there though! <3
8. I attended the People's Climate March (we started at the Capitol and walked through downtown while chanting and holding signs) with a bunch of my TCE friends! This was a nation-wide event that collected about 400,000 people in NYC alone! The event was created to bring awareness and make a statement about the severity of the climate crisis that somehow people are STILL denying and/or not addressing! I am so very grateful that I was able to be a part of the march this year!
9. I started jogging with Craig's dog, Molly! We run together almost every day (Monday-Friday) after I get off work. She is the absolute BEST DOG! She is so sweet and obedient and full of love! I love her to pieces and I am so happy I have a little motivational running partner. (: I have a feeling I will be a dog owner myself in the near-ish future.. either that or I will continue to constantly borrow the love & affection from my friend's dogs, haha. <3
9. I had a FANTASTIC tarot card reading by one of my neighbors. I've never had such a revealing and in-depth reading from someone who knew absolutely nothing about me! (Jessica & Kelly, I need a reading asap to compare!)
10. I bought a dresser from my friend, Amy! I haven't had one in years and it is SO NICE to have a real place to put all my clothes (and my make-up and incense, haha)! Plus, since she is moving & is awesome, I got a great dresser for just $20!
11. I joined the online dating world. HAHAHA. Yep. I bit the bullet and crafted a profile and put pictures up and everything. To be honest, it's not half bad, but the beginning was OVERWHELMING! I was BOMBARDED with messages and 95% of them were ones that I was definitely NOT interested in reading. It's calmed down a bit now and I've been on a few dates, but that's about it. Haha, I'm not really sure why I'm using it anyway because I am smitten with someone at the moment (& have been for the last few months), but we are in an "open-ish relationship," so I guess I am just keeping my opportunities open like he is. (?) Plus, all the awkwardness that comes in the online dating realm makes for a funny conversation topic. :b
12. Lastly, I recently watched Cloud Atlas and it blew me away! There was so much synchronicity with different conversations I've been having and all the déjà vu I've been getting lately and it made me feel warm fuzzies because I do my best to live my life leading with my heart & love first. It also really got me thinking again about plans for my future career(s) and being a bigger part of the revolution for equality of all people and land. Why this is still an issue endlessly baffles me, but I am more than willing to spend my life being a large cog in the machine of progress!
Well, that's about it for now, my loves! I hope you all are enjoying the fuck out of your lives! <3 XoXo

Duality of SelfSeptember 30th, 2014 Posted in My Writing | No Comments »
Duality of Self by Betty Leigh Verbeke
lately, when I spend time in a group of friends
whether it's with 3 people or 15
I subconsciously count another there
an extra being, or a thick shadow of one
the first time it happened, I was hanging out with two friends at their apartment
we were all seated around a table and I kept sensing that there was someone sitting right next to me
like there was an imaginary barstool with a body resting on it
I could feel their presence, their vibrations
after glancing to my right multiple times trying to see this invisible thing that I felt,
I decided my mind was just playing tricks on me
however, as the night unfolded, the figment of a figure stayed there with us
and I realized that I was somehow switching views with this presence
I was viewing myself from a different perspective,
an outside perspective that I could also feel from the inside view
I was splitting in two and I was literally sitting next to myself
sometimes I would be in my body recognizing my other outside half
and sometimes I would be my other outside half recognizing my body
it sounds insane, I know.. but let me try to explain a little with this:
we are not our thoughts
we are not that little voice inside our heads that keeps us up at night
well, technically, that is us, but that is just a part of us, that voice is just the ego talking
the true us is outside of the ego, it's the universal us, it's the everything else that recognizes that little voice
now that we have those terms, the ego self and the universal self, I'll continue with my story
when I'm in my separate self, my universal self, I'm viewing my own body
I'm watching my movements and I'm watching my ego speak in autopilot on my behalf
my ego self is the girl who was confused as to what the presence was in the beginning of this story
when I'm my universal self, my higher-self, I'm connected to everything
I'm able to view myself from the universal perspective
in those moments, I'm my truest self because I'm the universe literally viewing itself
I'm everything that is and was and ever will be staring into the mirrored reflection of my own creation
and I'm able to appreciate the volnerable skin & bone self that I'm creating
it's the best work of art I've created thus far, and it's still in the process of being created
it's the me that is alive and represents the entirity of the universe through the Betty Leigh Verbeke experience
I'm able to see all that I've gone through that makes what I've currently become
and I can see small projections of where I'm possibly going in the future
the most fascinating part of the duality dynamic is I can't feel when I switch from one perspective to the other,
whether I'm in body or out of body, I'm still fully me both times, so the transition is seamless
my ego self is able to feel my universal self watching me at the same time that my universal self is observing my ego self live and speak and be me and everything at once
the time I'm able to really tell the difference is when I can feel every single one of the countless number of stars flooding my mouth and veins that seem to have no ends, and then in the next moment I can only feel the stars surrounding me in a blanket of knowledge and love and understanding
when my ego speaks alone, when I'm watching my ego talk from my universal perspective, I can see all the words are saturated with déjà vu
I can see all the little memories that created the ego soaked into every syllable,
just like my pillows and clothes were with your scent when we used to fall asleep together, tangled with each other
when my ego speaks, I hear you on all of the consonants, whether hard or soft, you're there
the former us, we are there
what we were and why we aren't anymore, it's all there
my universe self sits in the spot where you used to stand
I'm viewing myself from where you used to see me and where you used to love me
I question if I now feel myself more than ever split into these two separate but same parts of me because I'm filling the void of where you used to be,
of where you left that empty space when we said goodbye,
the space that I technically created because I was the one who ended it the second time
yet you still take up so much fucking space in my day to day ego driven thoughts and in my universal heart that I'm starting to share with someone new
this someone who is absolutely wonderful and can see my ego self and my universal self as one and can appreciate her in the everything that she is
and I can see his duality of self as well, and I know I appreciate all the galaxies that we share and all the black holes that our egos get lost in
yet somehow I'm stuck wondering why you can't see me at all anymore
but I guess it's for the best
I fully trust the universe
I know that it's unfolding perfectly and that everything is working out exactly as it should
I know this because the ego self and universe self are both me and we are everything that is and was and ever will be and this is all just part of our Betty Leigh Verbeke experience
MermanSeptember 3rd, 2014 Posted in My Writing | No Comments »
Merman by Betty Leigh Verbeke
to the man I met on land
who asked me out for a swim…
we drove to the coast & shed our clothes
we walked naked into the ocean
eyes open & arms wide
letting the sea swallow us whole
we willingly sank to the bottom, unafraid
we danced with the clams & let the salt water fill our lungs full
we grew gills & held hands,
exploring the dark unknown together
we laughed
we played hide & seek in the coral reefs
we sprouted scaled tails & you braided my hair with seaweed
we had no definite plans for the future & we had endless time
yet somehow, anticipation found us there at the bottom of the ocean
maybe it was the shimmer of that sailboat you spotted
or maybe it was the memory of sunshine between our toes,
either way, we decided to surface again
once back on land, our gills disappeared & our tails split at their ends
oxygen refilled our lungs & it was a pleasurable burn
our fingers unfurled from one another & we took separate paths off the shore
gaze now focused anew on the city,
no longer lost in our sweet adventure through the depths of the sea
today, visiting the beach is a different kind of fun
the friends I bring like to splash and play chase the waves
without words, "it's too risky to dive deep," is what we say to each other
instead we build sandcastles & smile
we let the sun shine between our toes
but when I dream, I repeatedly swim back into the coral caverns, seeking my hiding Merman
the memory allows me to hear the bubbles we made while laughing
when I awake, I find salt in my ears & dried seaweed braided in my hair
I wonder if one day I will find another man who likes to dance with the clams
Art #66September 2nd, 2014 Posted in My Art | No Comments »
Saturday (8/30/14) I hiked Twin/Sculpture/Hidden Falls.
It's a few miles of what used to be rushing waterfalls in Southwest Austin.
An extension of Barton Creek Greenbelt.
Don't get me wrong, even though it's basically dry, it's still an absolute gorgeous hike.
I got "lost" for a few hours (2p-6p), just wandering around.
Laying down in the shade or sun.
Listening to the wind, my breath, the leaves, and the phantom waterfalls.
I hiked probably close to 12 miles.
& I took my sketch book with me as my companion.

Ever wonder how golf clubs such as Northern Ireland's Royal County Down (above), acquire the official Royal designation? First and foremost it has to be part of the British Commonwealth. The rest is explained in a new book entitled Golf's Royal Clubs: Honoured by the British Royal Family 1833-2013 ($100) by Scott Macpherson. The Duke of York, a past Captain of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, sums up who bestows the title in the book's foreword: "The right to adopt the prefix 'royal' can only be granted to a golf club with the approval of the current sovereign." Only 65 clubs have gotten the nod—the most recent was Germany's Royal Homburger GC in 2013—but which are most worth playing? Go to our Top 10 Royal Courses to find out.

As the space for debate in Moscow shrinks, the options for the country's future look ever narrower.
The news and the invitation were waiting for me, both, when I got off the plane from London to Moscow. I saw the invitation first—from a long-time colleague, to attend a workshop on the future of Russian politics later this month at Memorial, the venerable Russian historical society and human rights organization. I saw the news two hours later: 17 days after that workshop, Russia's High Court will hold a hearing on the government's demand that Memorial be liquidated.
That is the condition of life in Russia these days: two hours in which an invitation takes on a funerary pallor, 17 days in which the world becomes immeasurably smaller. Rarely has the distance between today and tomorrow been so great and so fraught as it is now.
Putin's intolerance of independent rights groups extends even to Memorial, which documents Soviet atrocities. http://t.co/Hk6LSRIdho

First off, I typically don't blog on political topics, having been taught as a child that there are three topics that you don't discuss with people you don't know well: politics, religion, and money. That being said, this is a big election year, so it just seems negligent to avoid the topic altogether.
Over the past few years, more psychologists have turned their attention to questions about why we hold the political attitudes we do. In a recent entry, Jaime Napier and John Jost published a series of experiments that conclude that conservatives are happier than liberals, not just in the United States, but in nine other nations as well [1].
The Conservative Brain?
The difference in happiness remains after controlling for demographic variables. The authors argue that the main variable accounting for this discrepancy is that conservatives are less bothered by the inequality they see around them than liberals. As financial inequality grew from 1974 to 2004, so did the "happiness gap." The authors argue that conservatives' ability to rationalize the status quo as "fair" protects them from the unhappiness experienced by the liberals.
Somehow, this paper just doesn't seem connected to the work on happiness by Ed Diener (who is quite liberal and an apparently very happy man) and others in the positive psychology field. You can take a version of Diener's happiness measure here. This literature focuses on social relationships, quality of work, progress towards goals, spirituality, and self esteem. Nowhere in my reading do I see "how do I feel about the social inequality around me" as a major variable in personal happiness.
So why do I think conservatives are happier than liberals? Perhaps one clue comes from Jack and Jeanne Block (2006), who looked at characteristics of their preschoolers who later affiliated with either conservatism or liberalism [2]. If you can read past the obvious disgust with which the Blocks hold conservatives (an all-too-common and unfortunate trend in the psychological literature on politicial orientation), an interesting difference in self-control emerges. As preschoolers, the future conservatives tilt towards "over-control," while the future liberals tilt towards "under-control." Both extremes have their own sets of drawbacks, but the worst outcome you get from "over-control" is being rather bland and boring. In contrast, people who are "under-controlled" are going to be at risk for a number of self-destructive behavior patterns that are not exactly conducive to happiness.

The expert chopper doctors at The Art of Dentistry restore carnassial sheen in a friendly office replete with the latest dental technology. For take-home treatments, discolored mouth knives are first subjected to a careful molding to tailor bleaching trays to the upper and lower jaws, ensuring they fit comfortably in your mouth and uncomfortably in the mouth of covetous strangers. Three included syringes grant patients the ability to give repeat boosts to the pearlescent brilliance emanating from their neck oysters. Alternately, Groupon customers can erase a lifetime of Cray-Pas gnawing with the in-office BriteSmile treatment, which can whiten gum jewels an average of nine shades. A special blue light activates the whitening gel, which is reapplied three times during the treatment for optimal smile resolution and playback in HD-only bathroom mirrors. Between applications, patients can busy themselves watching DVDs or imagining how their newly glittering grin will strike fear into the hearts of romantic rivals and the occasional romantic cube steak.
Dentistry should be conservative. That's the view espoused by Dr. Michael Wayne Sturkie Jr. and his team, who only perform the bare minimum of necessary treatment. Not only does this approach foster oral health, but it also benefits guests by limiting their trips to the often-intimidating, eerily comfortable dental chair. To keep visits at a minimum, the staff's thoughtful philosophy places an emphasis on preventive maintenance, such as fluoride treatments, and patient education, including proper brushing and flossing techniques that could prevent future problems.
When treatment is necessary, Dr. Sturkie and his staff tend to mouths with a variety of services. Besides regular checkups, they can perform root canals or fill in gaps with custom-made bridges. Wisdom-teeth removals ensure that patients refrain from continually shouting out trivia answers. The doctor visits with each patient to devise custom treatment plans and carefully explain options before proceeding with treatment.
Nora Elkin noticed that those around her were settling for stress—shrugging it off as normal. So in becoming a licensed massage therapist, she made it her mission to show clients how truly relaxing stasis can be with a dynamic menu of healing massages. In her cozy McCrory building studio, Nora and her fellow therapist, David Williams, pair flowing Swedish strokes with luxurious add-ons such as hot stones and aromatherapy to improve circulation and alleviate long-held tension.
A dental office that emphasizes health and prevention alongside treatment, Palmetto Dental Services has been helping chompers stay healthy and strong for more than 40 years. Licensed dental hygienists perform teeth cleanings, removing tartar buildup and plaque, which can lead to dental disease and embarrassing singing fish mounted on the incisors. Dental exams test oral health with screenings for cancerous growths, tooth decay, and gum disease, and they also include a checkup on existing restorations such as crowns and fillings. Like a palm reading for mandibles, the full x-ray treatment reveals any unseen problems inside teeth or under the gum line.
Dr. Joanna Silver Dover inherited her passion for dentistry from her mother, Susan, a dental hygienist. Joanna knew from an early age that she was called to care for patients and their teeth, enrolling right out of high school in an early-acceptance dental program at the University of Florida's College of Dentistry, where she graduated among the top eight in her class. While completing her residency at Palmetto Health Richland, the good doctor met her future husband, Michael, and decided to set down metaphorical roots in Columbia while caring for the very real and tangible roots and crowns of her patients' teeth. Today, she and her team of experienced dental professionals protect and beautify teeth with a vast arsenal of treatments, from routine exams and digital x-rays, to TMJ treatments, implants, and Boost whitening. Dr. Dover expands her repertoire of services by regularly attending seminars and courses, as well as mastering simple in-office cosmetic procedures such as Botox and Juvéderm.
Dr. James Meyer and his dedicated staff of technicians polish and align pearly whites with preventive, cosmetic, and restorative services. Calling on more than 20 years of experience and a stockpile of up-to-date implements, Dr. Meyer straightens wayward incisors with Invisalign braces and scours the mouth's alleyways in search of vandalism before submitting the culprits to orthodontic re-education. Cavity-ridden molars achieve royal status with Sirona Cerec porcelain crowns, and jaws suffering from TMJ undergo treatment so that they can once again crack walnuts with ease. Technicians replace well-worn teeth with implants or dentures and employ Zoom, BriteSmile, or Venus teeth-whitening technology to illuminate pre-existing smiles.
