FRANKLIN, INDIANA -- On June 19 and 20, 2013, I visited Affordable Dentures, Franklin, Indiana, to receive same-day partials. From the clinic published offerings, I selected what is termed "The Premium Package," at a cost of $1780. The Package consists of a set of full or partial dentures, with the promise of being allowed to return at any time during the first year of wear for repair and adjustments. A final set is then placed in the patient's mouth. The words "at any time" Echo throughout the clinic as the patients are being fitted for teeth, and again, as they leave: "You may come back any time you need to." That promise turns out to be a lie, particularly for purchasers of The Package.
At the time of my visit, I had eight teeth remaining, with only the two upper teeth to be extracted. I had been wearing partials and bridges for 17 years. The price schedule the assistant put in my lap showed extractions at $75 each. I was charged $105 for each one, and not told of the inflated price until after surgery. Dr. Philip [snip]made the dollar amount out of whole cloth. This is bait and switch.
Patients are given two prescriptions and are told these have to be filled immediately or surgery will not be done. At the beginning of my visit I completed a medical history revealing a thyroid condition. The medication Dr. [snip] prescribed came with a printed indication of potential death to those with thyroidism. The prescription is given to every patient, no matter their medical condition. This is malpractice.
Over fifty patients were seen on the day I was. They were herded through the clinic, with their dentures made as fast as credit cards can be swiped, and regardless of quality. When mine were placed in my mouth, a definite elevation on the upper right was noticeable; the length of the right side teeth was pronouncedly shorter than the other side. I noticed this after I went to my car and called in the message. The hateful assistant Rose, left a recorded reply, "Your teeth were made the way they are supposed to be, so I don't know what your problem is." No mention of "We'll fix it any time." Certainly, no consideration for the pain of the patient was forthcoming.
I went back anyway. When looking into my mouth, Rose told me, "Nothing is wrong with the partial. It's you. You have a lip like Elvis. You snarl like Elvis and that's why you think the teeth look funny." I am 61 years old and never in my life have I been told I look like Elvis. I have never had elevated teeth on one side, either. I asked to speak to the dentist and in came Dr. Linda Wick, owner of the practice. She looked at my mouth and told me I shouldn't criticize her work and I should leave. I asked her to take the partial and make the teeth the same length. She stormed out of the room shouting at me, "I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT. I DON'T HAVE TO DO IT." I told Rose that Dr. [snip] had better do it. Rose grabbed my arm (I was still sitting in the exam chair) and shook me, saying, "You don't talk to US like that."
In a few minutes, Dr. [snip] returned and added length to my teeth, so that miraculously, after 61 years, I no longer looked like Elvis! And then she said, "We added lots and lots to your teeth!" The same teeth that minutes before didn't't have anything wrong with them, according to her. One month later, her crummy addition to the partial is now crumbling off, and I again have lopsided teeth.
The lower partial was three times the size it needed to be. It wouldn't't fit into my jaw, particularly the right side. Dr. [snip] continued to tell me my mouth would "adjust" to a denture so big that my tongue wouldn't't lay flat. I could not chew, couldn't't talk, and couldn't't get the partial into my jaw.
The week after this bizarre act of dental malpractice, I called for an appointment to have the lowers decreased. I was told that no one could come back until two weeks post-op; even those of us who had no gum swelling, and who had paid for The Package.
The shoddy work of Drs. [snip] and [snip] resulted in blisters, lesions, sores and bleeding in my mouth. All caused by Affordable Dentures' defective product. The lowers would not allow my mouth to rotate or chew. And I was expected to be tortured like this for no less than one year and up to two years! Subsequently, I was examined in an emergency room and by a dentist in federal practice, all advising me to contact Dr. [snip] for adjustment.
Work was done to make the partials smaller, but still do not fit my mouth and are completely unusable. Sores and lesions continue to form on my gums due to the defective workmanship of this garbage for a product. Parts of the upper partial have chipped off during normal wear, leaving a gap between the teeth. I called again ("You can come back anytime!") in early August for repair. The nasty Rose told me I could only come on a Tuesday between 1 and 2 o'clock. She then said, "You come when I tell you to, or you won't get an adjustment or repair." So I haven't been back. I live with the worse excuse for a set of partials ever made. The chewing surfaces are almost non-existent. The lowers cannot be worn. The uppers continue to chip. These substandard, inferior teeth are causing pain and suffering as well as embarrassment by not being wearable.
Most new denture issues are caused by gums adjusting to extractions and the placing of artificial teeth. These are not problems particular to me. My gums were ready for permanent partials, yet Affordable Dentures refused to provide them. At one point, Dr. [snip], in an effort to deflect responsibility for her inferior work, pointed to my natural tooth #22, and said, "It's this one that's causing all the trouble. This tooth gave us FITS!" Tooth #22 had nothing to do with the creation or placement of her shoddy partials. My #22 is perfectly normal and was not in the way of anything. Dr. [snip] simply had to divert attention from her fraud by projecting away from herself.
Affordable Dentures, Franklin, Indiana, should be closed and prohibited from operating in the state. An investigation of this office and the qualifications of its staff are imperative.
When I paid $1990 on my credit card to the assistant named "Dana", I asked for a copy of my file. Dana's reply was, "What do you need it for?" I said I have the right to access my medical records. She said, "We don't do that." Affordable Dentures willfully violates HIPPA law.
Two weeks prior to submitting this complaint, I sent an electronic message to the corporate office of Affordable Dentures, Kinton, North Carolina. The narrative here reflects that message. I allowed corporate ten days to provide an answer and nothing has been received, nor have I heard from the Franklin office.
BOREDMAN/YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO -- Had a great experience with affordable denture of Boredman Ohio. 16 teeth extracted, immediate dentures, this is only my 3rd day post op, no sutures, I love my new smile.
TYLER, TEXAS -- I went to Affordable Dentures in Tyler, because I could not afford a regular dentist. I had 7 teeth to be extracted and a full lower plate to be put in. These are the beginning stages, as this is the first temporary plate. The permanent plate will not come until 6mo to 1yr after this initial plate... First of all, call ahead and get the information about their hours. Anyone wanting a consultation needs to be at the office at 1 P.M. They only do consultations in the afternoon. Also remember to bring a book, as this place is packed with poor people and there will be a long wait. It may be 5:30 P.M. until you are seen, but you will be seen... I went for a consultation and it took about 2 hours before seeing the dentist. I was taken in and a full lower x-ray was done, then the dentist came in and looked at it and we discussed my options. My teeth (only 7 left in my mouth) were so bad, that he decided I should go ahead and get a lower plate. He does not recommend a full lower, as there is always trouble with them. A full lower plate is a life changing event. You will not be able to eat any crunchy or hard foods. That's the truth. You will have to eat ground meats and soft foods the rest of your life. They will not tell you that, but I am telling you that. After deciding on having the extractions and the full plate, I decided on the "Premium" denture. You can see 3 different types of dentures. Economy, Good and Premium. It's pretty easy, if you want the longest lasting, then get the premium. Economy dentures often break after a couple years... I had to pay the full amount right then, before they would go any further. They want all the money in advance or they don't do the dentures. Be prepared to pay up front in full, before you go, or don't go. They do not use insurance, so don't ask. It's cash or credit card up front. I paid $1,330.00 for 7 extractions, a temporary denture till I heal and a permanent denture within a year. I know first hand that going the other way with a super good dentist, would have resulted in an Oral Surgeon, a Dentist and an expensive Denture Lab. It would have cost me over $5,000 if I had gone the best way... I made an appointment for a week later, to have the teeth removed and before that I went one morning to have my form made, so the temporary denture could be ready for the extraction day... The following lines are my thoughts about the people there...
The office people and assistants must be low wage workers. They have the typical low paid, high stress lack of concern for the patient. The person who did my form did not do it well. That was evidenced in the quality of the temporary denture. The Dentist who did the extractions was the absolute best dentist I have ever seen in my 55+ years. They give you a pill to take an hour before you get there and if needed, one when you arrive. It relaxes you and one was enough for me. I was ready to go to sleep. They took me straight in and the dentist took 20 minutes numbing every tooth with a local anesthetic. He was very good and I did not once feel the needle. Then he extracted the 7 teeth is less than 5 minutes! I was amazed at the skill he used. I had some really bad ones, that a regular dentist would not have touched, but this guy was the best... Once the teeth were out, he put in the temporary denture and had to make a couple small adjustments, because it was too tight. He used a "liquid bandage" substance over the wounds and put the denture in...
Pain is not my thing. I have a low tolerance for it and if you have several teeth removed, it will hurt like hell. I believe that this dentist did a great job, but of course the pain is terrible and they did give me a prescription for pain killers...
The denture itself is not very good. Again, I fault this due to a low paid lab worker, who is probably texting while he makes the denture. It clearly did not fit properly, too much in one area, too little in another. I am glad that I have had a partial for years and an upper for years, as I know what can be done to alleviate the pressure points. I had to remove material in several spots on the lower edges of the denture, to keep it from bruising my gums. I will ask to see the dentist when I return and tell him that if the permanent denture is not going to be formed with any more care than this, I want the remainder of my money back and I will go elsewhere. Even for an "affordable denture" the quality of this temporary is not worth the mouth pain and I will never be able to wear it for 6mo to 1yr while I wait for the permanent one. If you can afford better, then please do, as you will not be happy with the poor quality results.
SHEPHERDSVILLE, KENTUCKY -- My dad needed new dentures because the old ones he had, kept having teeth that fell out. I took him to my dentist and they wanted $1600 for a full set. I called around and other places charge $1500-$5000. He's in his 70s and I'm a student, so we don't have that type of money.
I noticed a place called Affordable Dentures offering full dentures for $435 while looking online. I thought it was a scam and thought their dentures might be generic. I was so scared to take my dad, but I prayed about it and took him. Well I'm going to tell you all about it.
Make sure to visit the website and look at the price list.
Don't go by the website or 1800 number for office hours. You need to call your local office for the real hours of operation because the Dr sets his own hours and days of the week.
I bought the Economy (cheapest) full set (upper and lower) for dad for a total of $435. This included office visit and fitting, no other hidden fees. This is for someone that was already a denture wearer. They are able to give cheaper rates because they have their own lab on site, so they don't have to pay for sending out the dentures or a lab off site. If this is your first time as a denture wearer or you need teeth pulled also, it will cost more money.
The Economy is a strong material. You pick the color of the gum and color of teeth. So don't worry that they will give you yellow teeth.
There is only two differences between Economy and the other more expensive ones. One, you get to try on the dentures and decide if you want them to change it. Two, the gum area looks more natural. The teeth on dad's Economy look natural, but the gum is a little glossy looking so that part is not as natural looking. But you can't tell unless you get really close and he's smiling so hard that you can see he's gum area, which doesn't really happen.
The bad thing is the Dr doesn't have good bedside manner. He came in the room, didn't say hello, and quickly started the procedure without explaining anything. He's a little rude and harsh. So be ready for that. The good thing is that they are clean, I see the nurses and Dr wash their hands between procedures.
Conclusion, very worth it! Good economy dentures. Good quality. Can't beat the price.
BOWLING GREEN, KENTUCKY -- I went to Affordable Dentures in Bowling Green, Kentucky in 2011. The employees were very nice and helpful at this time. I bought their full economy set for new wears. I got my temporary set before I got my teeth extracted. They worked out great, had no problems with them. After a year, I went in to get my permanent set. That's when the trouble started. While eating frozen yogurt one day, with CRUSHED UP, powder like candy bar, my lower denture broke in half. I went into Affordable Dentures that day, to see what could be done, since they have a year warranty. They said that they could repair them for no cost. I thought wonderful. I came back the next day to get them. They did repair them by adding a very small, thin metal piece and melted them back together. They put them back in, and checked my bite. And sent me my way.
No more than a month later, I was eating a salad. Nothing hard or crunchy!!! Just lettuce, cheese and tomatoes. I felt my dentures splitn half again. This time, the metal piece was holding the dentures together. So I went back to the office, and was told there was nothing they could do. Because I was eating hard food. I thought to myself "hard"? And walked out. And told myself, well the metal is holding it together pretty much, maybe they will be OK.
Well, I was wrong. For the next 3 months this lower denture caused me so much pain. While talking and eating my tongue would get caught in the spilt, which caused sores. I had a big gap that people could see, which was embarrassing. And it was hard to talk, and eat. So my husband decided to make me appointment to go in and see what they would do.
Just got home from the appointment. They are going to "repair" them again to be NICE. Even though I still have a warranty for 4 more months. But I was informed, that eating even ice cream, YES ice cream could break the dentures again. Let see how long this repair last. They said this will be the last time they will fix it, matter what.
The employee at this office, are very kind and helpful when you are looking into getting dentures, but once they get your money, watch out they are not there to be nice or helpful. And very disrespectful!!!!! They talk to you like you are scum. They don't stand behind their warranty, or their dentures. BEWARE!!! wouldn't recommend Affordable Dentures to anyone!!!!
CARTERSVILLE, GA, GEORGIA -- I want to praise the Cartersville Ga Affordable Dentures office. The dentist, Dr. Adedoyin, is absolutely Spectacular. I had one of those Complicated Tooth extractions because a bottom tooth broke off at the gum line and right in the front of my mouth. I immediately went to this office and they explained what they could do. I chose their recommendation and extremely happy I did. It is so nice to have a dentist and staff that you can trust to be honest with you. She had to pull that Complicated Tooth extraction and she did it so good I didn't even know the tooth had been pulled until it was lying on the tray. Now that is awesome, and shows you how great she is. I had been to the office earlier because I had lousy top dentures made in another dentist office and this Affordable Dentures office made me a new top denture that is great and I love it, and so that is why I trust them explicably. She recommended I get a partial for my bottom and I immediately said yes. I trust her and I trust the competent staff to give me the best service possible. Their price is right, they are so caring, and they get everything right to make you happy. All I can keep saying is: "I am so happy I went there." And I want everyone to know that they are the Absolute Best Dental Office Anywhere. I cannot praise them enough and give them 5 big Gold Stars. Not only is Dr. Olajumoke Adeloyin good, but she has a great staff that compliments her strength in excellent dentistry. The staff is great from first telephone call, they are friendly, and helpful, very polite and knowledgeable, even when taking an x-ray, or when the lab technicians are taking impressions. Everyone is as professional as they can be, which is a blessing because going to the dentist office is usually not fun, but they make it a pleasurable experience. Yes, there will be some waiting, but let me assure you that a few extra minutes waiting in their office is well worth your time...you will be very happy that you chose them and the waiting will become just a minor thing. I promise you your teeth will be beautiful. I don't know how they do such a fantastic job for the price they charge .... their prices are so affordable that everyone can afford them and they do not rob you of your money like a lot of dentist offices do.
I cannot praise them enough, so all I can do is highly recommend the office and their services. KUDOS to Dr. Adedoyin and her entire staff .... they are absolutely great! I will most definitely use them for any future dental work I need and I will always recommend them to all of my friends and neighbors.
MADISON, WISCONSIN -- I worked at Affordable Dentures located in Madison WI for 2.5 weeks, and after working 8 years in the Dental field I've never worked with a company that treated their patients and employees with such disrespect and rudeness. They had patients in and out of the Dental Chair in 2 minutes, it was like an assemble line, only to keep them waiting for hours for crappy dentures that were poorly made, and if for any reason a patients had a complaint or a problem about the fit of the denture the assistant was VERY rude to patients. From my experience I think its just a rip off they are all about money, there's no good customer service skills at all. Patients complain all the time!! Be warned!
SOUTH HILL, VIRGINIA -- I just wanted to write a review on my recent experience at the affordable denture office in South Hill Virginia. I am a 49 year old man and for one reason or the other I have always had trouble with my teeth, and I have seen many different dentist in my life. I have had teeth pulled in Chester Va., Richmond Va. Petersburg Va. and even in New Mexico, It is a long story but I have never been able to afford to get the work done that I needed done. And if you are in a similar point in your life I would HIGHLY recommend the office located in South Hill Virginia. I ended up going there because the office in Chester Va. did not take "care credit" and I'm so glad they didn't, I don't have that much experience with the Chester office only when I called the Lady that answered the phone was short with me and told me that they don't take the Care Credit card, which I applied for and was easily approved for for three Thousand dollars so that is the way I wanted to pay for my dentures that I knew I needed. I first went to a very reputable dentist in Midlothian Va. They pulled three teeth and it was very expensive, they were good people but way overpriced and pushy. Anyhow I said all that to say this, when I called the Affordable denture office in South Hill the Receptionist was so nice just on the phone, she told me about how they do things there it is not like a "typical" practice anyway I asked her about cost and if they accepted my credit card she told me every thing I wanted to know and the hours and what time I needed to be there and the office is a hour drive for me but well worth every mile I drove there and back! Patience is the key. if you are like me and have been suffering for years one whole day won't be that bad. So I get called back there and I don't know what to expect really I mean I've never had all my teeth pulled or had dentures or anything but the Dental Hygienist got me in the x ray machine and made me feel very relaxed and comfortable after that I had to get upper and lower impressions of my mouth so the upper dentures I was getting would line up, again very friendly staff and then I met The Dentist at the South Hill office Dr. Michael Smith the best dentist I have ever been to, and I have seen allot, (unfortunately) any way he assured me I would be fine and everything would go good. well after that he prescribed me my medicine and they told me to return at 1:30 it was only about ten or so. Like I said patience...so I went to the nearby Walmart and two of the three medications I was given were only 4 bucks each total for all meds 15 bucks granted it may be different for you but I can't imagine by much. So I go back at 1:30 and did not get called back until 4:00 but finally after all those years I had been waiting it was the big moment and I a 49 year old man don't mind telling you I was scared to say the least, but again the Doctor and his Assistant were very reassuring and he shot me full of novocaine and waited a few minutes and came back and gave me a little more and the only pain I felt at all was the needle behind the teeth when he put it in the front to my amazement very very little pain well I didn't keep my eyes open because I was scared but people let me tell you what I had to get 11 teeth pulled and it really seemed like by the time they had laid me back they were setting me up I mean I was and am very impressed with Dr Smith I do not write reviews but I had to for this Dr. and my temporary dentures were in and they took the time to get it right and wow I look good ! lol but I really do, the dentures have made me smile again they are awesome. Thank everyone there at Affordable dentures South Hill Va. office feel free to contact me if you have any questions for me but the best thing to do is call them. It is a very sad day when you realize you have messed up and neglected your natural teeth but I'm telling you Dr. Smith is THE best dentist ever bar none.
PANAMA CITY, FLORIDA -- Just like your schedule should be if you do business with these folks. I'll get to that later...
On my interview/x-ray process I was told everything would be taken care of and there was nothing more to be said about it. The receptionist and doctor re-insured me that I would get everything included with the package I chose. Example : any repairs, adjustments, and even the final dentures that were even customizable were all included for the low price of roughly $2600! There wasn't any implication of time restriction or additional costs. So I said great: sign me up! Next week I came into get my top teeth removed and replaced with dentures. With my check in hand for the top of the line single set denture plan, I was excited! I must admit they were fast after payment was made to get me and and pull the teeth. I believe over-all process from first meeting to actual teeth pulling was less than 2 weeks. Amazing! That's about all the good things I have to say...if you're still with me get ready for the bad news...
So the healing process takes time and about 6 months later I walked in (no appointment) and they saw me that day for adjustments to refit the denture. Wait time was roughly 45 minutes.
Fast forward 8 months later. Again : no appointment, or payment required. Fairly quick service this time ~ 30 minutes ish. Need more adjustments because loose denture and I started seeing cracks on the corners of my mouth. A quick Google search showed one reason was incorrectly fitting dentures. When I asked about this the doctor and assistant both shunned my question saying I shouldn't believe everything I read.
Lets look about 9 months later. No appointment or cash needed. Waited an hour and a half before being seen. Now was unbearable, the denture was too loose and I had to get it changed. It was definitely too big and the cracks on the corners of my mouth weren't healing. On more thorough research I found it to be angular cheilitis. So I wasn't taking no for an answer...The assistant agreed and made new ones for me. Excellent!
Fast forward 11 months....Real issues arise. NOW all of a sudden all people seen are by APPOINTMENTS ONLY! Now I don't expect a memo to be sent or even a letter or phone call. But its the new age. I'm sure as much money as they make they could spend 200$ on a free lance programmer to create a program and make it text message or email all Panama City clients : Hey Affordable Dentures is now going by appointments only! Sorry for the inconvenience of making you drive 30 miles to find this out yourself if that's you! =P O.K. that one was stretching...anywho...
So yep : I'm stuck with my dentures because I am a nice guy and didn't want to bother them, because I know they are busy folks. If you've ever been there, they always have people in the lobby waiting to be seen. I've probably only been to that office, including first exam, 8 times. I never broke my dentures or caused any excess out of pocket cost for them. I only did mandatory walk-ins as needed.
Now they will not give me my finals that have already been promised and paid for. They are saying there's a time limit now that was never explained or ever seen in my contract be neither my wife nor me. They say I paid for a 3 year term, yet they sometimes give people up to an extra 6 months if the doctor approves this. That last statement is straight from the receptionist up front, and I'm sure others have heard this : Which validates my entire story. I've tried to be patient with these folks, now I'm taking matters into my own hands and I hope this helps someone else out there that may be interested in doing business with these folks.
Have a great day!
WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA -- I have been to Affordable Dentures once before, little more than a year ago and had the initial treatment $80.00 x-ray and had my denture repaired. Then recently I went to them to repair a small tooth that had fallen off the denture, I called them to see if I can have it repaired and they said I needed to have an x-ray before repairing the denture of a tooth that fell off. Even though I have a partial on my lower jaw with six teeth only, they still said it is policy to get an $80.00 x-ray before repairing the one tooth that fell off my full upper denture. I tried to make sense of it all and asked why would I have to have an x-ray in order to repair my upper denture to repair the one small tooth that fell off? They replied that is the policy here and they were very rude, the customer service really sucks. I also asked for a copy of everything even the x-ray and the receptionist said that would be $25,00 for a copy, so I said OK she also asked why I would need a copy of the x-ray and I replied I needed to show someone what was charged for the services. Then she said well! I have to see if the doctor would want to see you or to work with you, after waiting a while she called my name and said the doctor will not see you. The day before I had called the corporate office and also called them on the day the doctor refused to see me, I was going to go to channel news where I live to let them know what they charged me for and what work I had done. Since I had not received such services I thought I would express it here, so it turned out good for me I looked up for another dentists in my area and found one that does not charge for x-rays if you are 21 and older with no insurance and would just repair my denture, they also were courteous and very good customer service.
Enter affordable Dentures at your own risk literally.

CG BOLD is our best price and most popular offer. CG BOLD is set-up on auto-draft for repeat registration, much like a membership, so you only pay $69 or $79 per month. CG BOLD auto-draft takes place once a month on the day you become BOLD. CG BOLD draft dates will be the 1st through 28th, the 29th, 30th and 31st will roll to a draft date of 1st. There is a six month minimum commitment for BOLD 6+ and a 12 month minimum commitment for BOLD 12+ in order to receive this special pricing. BOLD members who are on BOLD 12+ are eligible to freeze up to two times per 12 months to allow for travel, schedule conflicts or anything else that may require you to miss a camp. BOLD 6+ members receive one freeze per 12 month period. BOLD members are also eligible for $30 friend referral credits and special discounted pricing on CG Gear and CG events including CG Games, CG Adventure Trips, and CG Nutrition Challenge.
Camp Gladiator rewards campers who come back camp after camp and offer by offering them a lower camp price. Campers who choose to pay camp to camp are offered a discounted price of $129. You are a consecutive camper if you attended the previous camp.
Group fitness is that much better when you have your friends to add to the fun and help hold you accountable. Get three or more people ready to sign-up and e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com for more details on how to redeem our group rates:
3 person group = $25 off per person
4 person group = $35 off per person
5 person group = $45 off per person
6+ person group = $55 off per person
Group discounts are available to new or former campers only. In addition, they are only available towards the initial camp pricing. Consecutive campers already receive discounted rates and are, therefore, not eligible for the group rate.
Camp Gladiator offers a rewarding referral program. For every friend you refer to sign-up and purchase a camp, you will receive a credit that can be applied to a future camp. The friend must be a new camper, provide the e-mail address of the person that referred them and provide at least a payment of $30 at the time of sign-up for the friend referral credit to be awarded. BOLD members receive a $30 friend credit and non-BOLD campers receive a $20 friend credit. Friend credits will be applied once the person whom you've referred has successfully made a minimum purchase of $30 towards a CG boot camp.
BOLD members are eligible to receive an amazing spouse discount. If both spouses are active members on the same BOLD membership, BOLD 12+ or BOLD 6+, when one spouse signs-up, the other spouse receives their sign-up at half-price. To redeem:
1. Each spouse will need to create a CG account and then e-mail email@example.com to link the accounts – include the full names and emails for both spouses.
2. Once the email is received the two accounts will be linked so the discount can be awarded and a confirmation e-mail will be sent when linking is complete. Spouses must share the same last name, alternatively, legal documentation of marriage must be provided.
3. Once you receive a link confirmation email you may then complete the registration process and the spouse discount will be awarded.
PLEASE NOTE: Account credits are removed from the total price of camp before the spouse discount is applied.

"Camp Gladiator has been a lot of fun. I love the environment. It's very positive. You meet good friends. It's more than just a workout. It's a community, family-oriented. Before I started Camp Gladiator, I hated running. I was terrible at it, but my running skills have improved a lot. My endurance is a lot better than it was before. The trainers are really great. They are friendly, and they stay involved. After you leave boot camp they're still involved in your life. There's a constant contact. They let you know about healthy living whether it's food or exercise outside of boot camp. We do a lot of runs together and adventure races. It's a lot of fun. There's no way you can get this workout at a gym. It's outdoors. It's a lot of games, interaction with other people. At a gym it's usually just yourself or maybe one other person. When you have a huge group of people motivating you and pushing you to work out, it's a lot easier. You don't notice you are working out as hard as you are until after it's over."
WATCH"When I first started, I couldn't do anything. Everything was a modification, and I just realized that if you want to change you have to push yourself. With everyone encouraging you, it makes you push yourself. After a month you'll actually be addicted because that's how I signed up. I've shed a lot of inches, and I have a lot of energy. It is for all fitness levels. Because of the modifications, you do not have to force yourself to be like the others. You're going to have athletes, you're going to have people like me and you're going to have people who are even slower. You just do it at your own pace, and you'll start seeing the change in your body."
WATCH"My Camp Gladiator experience so far has been great. I've never had a workout like this before. I've played sports all of my life. I grew up playing sports, but I've never been able to do push-ups or sit-ups or anything like that. So it's just been great trying to learn how to do all of those things. The instructors are so encouraging, so positive. They never get down on you, and they always help you modify an exercise. I've met so many new people that are my age and younger. I feel better about myself. I feel like I am getting a complete workout, and it gives me energy for the day. Everybody cheers everybody on, and it's just positive and fun. It's something I look forward to."
WATCH"It's been great so far. I used to run quite a bit, half-marathons and things. I thought I was in decent shape. The first day of Camp Gladiator let me know that I wasn't in quite as good shape as I thought. I took a while off of running since I've been running hills and doing everything else for camp. Then I went back and tried to run three or five miles. I noticed I am a lot faster. My endurance is a lot better, and my times are going down. It's a team atmosphere. A lot of people. A lot of motivation. It's a lot of fun. Nobody is griping at you, and you can push yourself as hard as you want."
WATCH"Camp Gladiator has been life-changing for me. I battled weight loss my entire life, and have never even put a dent in it and it's the first time I can say it's no longer a battle. I'm winning it. I am stronger not only physically but emotionally. I'm more fit than I have ever been my entire life. I started out 199lbs. I have lost 32lbs. and over 22 inches in 4 1/2 months. I haven't been depriving myself of anything. I've had an average diet. I've still enjoyed all of the things that I like. The boot camp has made me want to get up and go every morning. It's my one hour a day of nothing but 100% of positive energy. It's more than a workout. It's the people. It's the encouragement. It's how you feel before you start and how you feel afterwards. You want to be there. You don't want to miss. I've never been one of those who likes to workout with others, but I started this and I am hooked. I can't imagine not having it as a daily part of my life. Camp Gladiator is a place where your age doesn't make a difference. Your fitness level doesn't make a difference. It doesn't matter if you are male or female. Everybody fits in from the first time the step foot out on our workout area. It's one of those places that you fit in immediately and you want to be there. I've met people that I don't know if our lives would have crossed paths otherwise and now they are friends that I have made and will be life-long friends. Our trainer is Jessie and she is phenomenal. She's got the full package. She pushes us and she makes us want to do better. We don't want to disappoint her. She makes us believe in ourself more than we ever could imagine. She's pushed me to a level that I never thought that I could be at and I want to do well for her. When she's says I can do it, I have to believe that I can do it. I have committed to running my first half-marathon in December. That's a big stretch considering that I've only been doing this 4 1/2 months but I don't have any doubt that I will be there. With Jessie's help and the encouragement of my fellow campers, I know that I will get there. Any opportunity that I get, I tell other to just try it, just come out and try it and you will be hooked like we all are."

Mizzee Customs is back with another incredible custom sneaker design recently added under his belt. Back in May we featured a pair of custom Jason Nike SB Dunks which Mizzee Customs designed after the masked Friday The 13th character. Since then Mizzee has been getting massive amounts of requests for Jason customs left and right.
These Nike Dunks are another variation of a Jason Dunk Mizzee Customs recently did for a customer. Said customer was willing to let Mizzee have more creative control over the design aspect, so he overhauled the whole thing from the ground up. He even went the extra length to include a custom designed Friday The 13th sneaker box. A pair of customs like these we cant even really begin to explain, you just have to look at the pictures and enjoy all the attention to detail that was put into these custom sneakers. Mizzee Customs always does some outstanding work and this is just another sick one to add to his epic designs.
Hit the jump to check out plenty of more detailed pictures, and make sure you check out the previous Jason Nike SB Dunks Mizzee designed and the Earthworm Jim Nike Dunks.

Previously designed Friday the 13th Nike SB Dunks mentioned in the post
In my personal opinion the Nike SB Jason Dunk which was part of the Horror Pack was lacking a little bit. I felt Nike SB could of done so much better with these Dunks compared to what i saw as a final release. Thats not to knock them though and say they arent nice, just not up to my expectations i guess. Sneak Fiend decided to take the Jason Dunks and roll with the

D-backs, Padres rekindle tightly matched rivalry
Miley, Marquis looking to regain command in series opener
The D-backs have played in more close games this season than anybody else, and there's no reason to expect anything different when they head to San Diego for a three-game set this weekend.
In the past two seasons, 11 of the 18 games between the D-backs and Padres at Petco Park have been decided by two runs or fewer. Arizona has played in 20 games decided by that sort of margin already this season, the most in the Majors.
"We've been in every game pretty much," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "That's a tough thing, but a good thing. We've learned a lot about ourselves, and we'll continue to make adjustments to get better. [The] Padres are playing well."
Left-hander Wade Miley (2-0, 2.37 ERA) gets the ball for Arizona, coming off a start in which he walked a career-high seven hitters against Colorado. Despite being uncharacteristically out of the strike zone, Miley was able to keep the Rockies off the scoreboard for 4 1/3 innings.
"It was one of those days," Miley said. "You're going to have those days. I didn't have it, plain and simple. A lot of scuffling out there. I had I don't know how many baserunners and how they didn't score, who knows? We were fortunate enough to win."
Padres right-hander Jason Marquis is coming off a similar outing in which he struggled with his control and his club picked up a victory. Marquis walked four and gave up six hits against the Giants, but managed to limit the damage to just two runs over 6 2/3 innings.
It was a significant improvement on Marquis' last start, when he surrendered seven earned runs on four hits and four walks over 4 2/3 innings against the Brewers. And it was exactly what the Padres needed at the time, as Marquis pitched deep into the game a day after San Diego's bullpen had to work eight innings.
"We needed it," Padres manager Bud Black said Sunday. "If you look at the use of all those guys [the relievers], it was big Jason gave us those outs. He started making pitches as the game progressed."
D-backs: Bullpen finally gets a break
• Following a slew of close games and a two-and-a-half-week stretch without an off-day, Arizona's slumping bullpen finally got some rest Thursday.
"Off-days are always good," Gibson said. "[We're] certainly not going to turn one down. We've had a pretty tough stretch here, but we've played well. We've given up some runs late in games. That's not how you design it, but that's just something we have to get better at."
Thursday marked Arizona's first day without a game since April 15.
Padres: Headley won't negotiate extension during season
• Third baseman Chase Headley told MLB.com on Thursday that he doesn't want to discuss a long-term contract extension during the season. Headley said he "loves playing in San Diego" and appreciated that team ownership wants to keep him around, but think it's best for him and the team that they table those talks during the season.
Padres executive chairman Ron Fowler said Wednesday that he's given general manager Josh Byrnes permission to begin negotiations with Headley to make him the highest-paid player in Padres history. The two sides haven't had significant discussions about that kind of long-term deal since before the regular season.
"It's flattering they feel the way they feel about me. I love playing in San Diego, I love the fans," Headley said. "But I just don't think now is the time to get involved with this. That's it. If there's an opportunity to engage after the season, so be it. I didn't want to have to deal with the fallout I'm dealing with."
Worth noting
• The Padres won 11 of 18 meetings between the clubs last season, including a seven-game winning streak. In 2011, it was Arizona notching 11 victories.
• In nine at-bats against Miley, San Diego's Jesus Guzman has four hits, including a pair of doubles and a homer, and five RBIs.

CANTON Village Mayor-Elect Mary Ann Ashley said she will appoint Brooke Rouse to fill her remaining year on the village Board of Trustees.
Absentee ballots counted Friday by the St. Lawrence County Board of Elections do not change the Nov. 5 results of the village race, Ms. Ashley said.
The voters have spoken, she said.
The absentee ballots increase Ms. Ashleys total to 676 votes versus 316 for incumbent Mayor David P. Curry.
The absentee ballots also confirmed that Carol Pynchon and Michael E. Dalton were the top two vote-getters for the two trustee seats up for the grabs.
Mrs. Pynchon received 567 votes total and Mr. Dalton, 506. Mrs. Rouse came in third with 477 votes and Nicholas E. Kocher placed fourth with 351.
Ms. Ashley said it makes sense to appoint Mrs. Rouse to a trustee seat because she campaigned for the seat and received a strong showing.
Mrs. Ashley said she will appoint Mr. Dalton as deputy mayor.

Economism and the Night Sky
By Richard B. Norgaard
The economy is our new cosmos. Stars may still shine, but few now tend sheep under a starry night sky. In fact, half the world's population seldom sees stars through the smog and artificially lit megacities of industrial civilization. Artifacts of the economy define our lives —buildings, vehicles, highways, processed foods, and electronic gadgetry. We are caught in a web of market relations that determine how we interrelate with one another and with...

The female experience of the war included widespread sexual violence committed against women and girls. Now, with Africa's only female president, what does the future hold for women in Liberia?

It is not so much that Erika is too far West or South, it is that she is pretty weak sauce right now. We'll see what happens when she gets closer to us.
is a lot of the swell shown in the forecast from this TS? or is it all of this NE windswell
i skipped Sunday Morning TS Danny to get drunk and party up at school. ive been kicking myself since!
hope it gives something worth 8 hours of driving!( or any upcoming storm from now till june)
this thing looks like it's going to grind its way up nice and slow. probably going to give the obx a ton of swell.
doesn't look like nj will get much of it.
It's now looking like this storm is going to take a westerly track, hit the mountains of Hispaniola and die out...5 out of 6 models are forecasting a less than optimal track and strengthening pattern, hopefully the outlier turns out to be right...
Drove down from Jersey 2 weeks ago for Bill, then a surprising Danny, and now a possible lady coming through, I just can't leave (other then a short excursion to VB to check out the ECSC - kudos Rob Kelly) I'm back in OBX and been living of Piping plovers that taste like chicken, drinking rain water with a twist of juniper and camping where the man can't find me (even got lucky with two chicks who somehow find this lifestyle endearing...This is ridiculous, I gotta get a real job; right? lol, I love surfing, it's all the reason you need...F*** it might as well stay broke and stoked!

Making History at the Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery! | |
Written by janice headley | Filed under Noah Van Sciver, Fantagraphics Bookstore, events, David Lasky | 21 Nov 2012 4:00 PM |
As Jen mentioned earlier this week on the FLOG, the Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery recently launched an exhibit spotlighting two graphic novels that bring history to life: Noah Van Sciver's The Hypo: The Melancholic Young Lincoln and David Lasky's The Carter Family: Don't Forget This Song! It was originally scheduled to run through today, but Larry now tells me that on Friday, November 23rd, the exhibit will be, well, history, so check it out while you still can!
If you missed our opening reception, then dang it, you missed a truly awesome time. The great Jim Woodring was droppin' some science, although Marketing Director Mike Baehr seems dubious. Local cartoonist Tim Miller pledged his undying love to Noah. (Just kidding about all of that; I have no idea what was going on...)
I also have no idea what's going on in this awesome photo Lasky took of me, Mike, and local cartoonist (and Short Run Small Press Fest organizer) Kelly Froh. But it makes me laugh.
[ Check out more of David's photos at his Flickr page here! ]
David and Noah's exhibit of original artwork will be on display through this Friday, November 23rd, so stop by -- you'll be thankful you did! We even still have a few signed copies left of each title.
Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery is located at 1201 S. Vale Street in Seattle's Georgetown district. Open daily 11:30 to 8:00 PM, Sundays until 5:00 PM. CLOSED on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, but OPEN AS HELL on Friday, November 23rd. Phone: (206) 658-0110.

The latest thing with streaming entertainment services and or internet connections is bundling. Your smart phone, that doohickey latched to your hand twenty four hours a day, your TV, that thing up against your wall at home or on a stand, and your internet, be it a laptop or desktop computer, that thing you are probably on right now reading this.
Well, now all three can be combined in one low monthly price with the right service plan. AT&T North Carolina delivers just such a service plan for all its customers who want to enjoy these three systems without having to worry about double dipping or paying too much. It's simple and affordable.
There are tons of ways to enjoy. With U-Verse TV, Internet and Phone, you can enjoy 130 channels, speeds up to 6Mpbs, 3 months worth of HBO or HBO/Cinemax, and plus you can save $51 per month for a year or receive a $300 Reward Card. You can't lose with this offer.
If you want only North Carolina AT&T Internet and Voice, the deal is a bit different but no less spectacular. You bundle the two services to save and download speeds can reach as high as 24 Mbps, you get unlimited calling in the U.S., U.S. territories and Canada and also save 26 bucks per month for 12 months! This is the way to do it.
Bundling creates a great way to combine your favorite services and keep it simple and easy to use. You get one bill, it comes from one company, and if things go wrong you contact the same people. Simple, easy, direct, less hassle then dealing with countless services when all you want is the same thing: access to the world around you.
TVs, phones, and personal computers are blurring the lines between each other, as more and more compatibility options make themselves known and are used by the public. Companies understand their customers want an easier time at utilizing their devices and now it's easier than ever. You get the high speed options you are accustom to with your home computer, the ease of use with your phone, and the access to countless programs a TV gives. You can also use your smart phone to help plan and record your favorite shows with the AT&T Interactive App.
It's also digital, so when you watch TV through AT&T U-Verse NC, it will give the highest possible quality of picture and sound. This is the same fiber optic system that the high speed internet service uses and the digital phone you'll use. You also get a DVR that will record your shows for later viewing pleasure. It can fit over 200 hours of regular content or even 65 hours of HD television.
A cool new function allows you to record a show in one room of your home and then play it back in another room, all at the click of a button. This is sure to please family members who move from one spot to another and you can do this without having to rewire your whole house with the AT&T Wireless Receiver.
People want to be able to surf the net, share photos of their new baby with their friends and family, download music and keep in touch with old friends on social networking sites and all this is possible with this NC AT&T bundle. It's fast, easy and affordable and right at your fingertips.
There are several speeds available, such as 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 Mbps, called Pro, Elite, Max, Max Plus and Max Turbo respectively. Elite and Max do a great job of watching video clips or video conferencing. But then Max Plus and Max Turbo get you where you need to be for downloading movies online or for your gaming needs.
Clarity and ease of use is unparalleled with this North Carolina AT&T bundle service. You will have the choice to use your existing phones, it's a simple process to switch them over, or you can get new phones. It's up to you and you get what you want.

text: The second season was badly mauled by a writer's strike, which is why so many of it's epsiodes feel like they're just filler. "The Child" was actually a revamped script from the unmade Star Trek II series, in which it was Ilia who becamne pregnant! I am always amazed that after this slapped together kimish-kimosh of a season, following the awesomely PC first season, that the show manged to survive to reach the glory that is the third season. the third season was easily Next Gen's finest and arguably the best seaon of any Star Trek period.

EMILY rescues swimmers when lifeguards can't
EMILY is an electric remote-control motorized rescue buoy, that shore-based lifeguards can use to rescue drowning swimmers (Photo: Hydronalix)
Article Summary
Riptides can carry hapless swimmers out into the ocean very quickly – by the time a lifeguard is able swim out to rescue them, it may be too late. Using a Jet Ski to reach struggling swimmers is one option, although such watercraft can be expensive, problematic to store on-site, and difficult to launch for one person. Now, seaside municipalities can get something cheaper and easier for reaching those swimmers-in-distress: an electric remote-control motorized rescue buoy called EMILY.

I like the Software, particulary I like design, implement and modify software with high quality, currently I'm working for a company based in Hermosillo, Sonora called Tiempo Development.
I like photography because it allows me to bring this beautiful world and the people in it to the eyes of thousands across the world.
Through my photographs, I can potentially inspire, give joy or make a person think something new and profound. That is a powerful and wonderful thing to be able to do.

My 25th anniversary is coming up in a couple weeks and I have been looking for the perfect ring set for my wonderful wife. We looked all over trying to find the set that she wanted. by far the best deal I found was on overstock.com. The ring was comparable to the set she found at our local jewelers but it had twice the diamond weight ( same quality stones ) as the local guy. Also the price at overstock was quite a bit better. I must admit I was nervous about making this purchase online but I was assured if the rings weren't all I expected I could simply return them. The purchase went flawlessly, my rings were shipped the next day and I recieved them almost immediately. The rings are perfect. I am having a really hard time waiting until our anniversary to give them to her. I just know she'll love them as much as I do! wish me luck!!!!!
I recieved this gorgeous set from my now husband. When he proposed, I complained about how big the engagement ring was, how high it was off of my finger (I work in the medical field, constantly taking gloves off and putting them on). But once I got used to the ring, I absolutely LOVE it!! When we got married and added the band, the set is GORGEOUS together. Something we didn't see in the pictures, is that on the engagement ring, right under the middle stones there are hearts in the band. We found that amazing. Very worth the money spent on the set!!
I cannot take my eyes off this ring!! My husband purchased this ring to replace my current wedding ring. I wish I could post a picture, because the other pictures do not do it justice. There is a whole lot of sparkle. Beautiful. So happy with this purchase. Thank you Overstock, I am in love!!
My fiance is in love with this ring. It reflects the light so well. Only under close scrutiny can you notice a couple of tiny nicks. The color is perfect though. She get compliments everywhere.
My husband was replacing my wedding rings that got stolen. And actually I like these more! Nice sized center diamond. Lots of sparkle! Really pretty.
I had the ring appraised immediately and its appraised value and quality made this a "profitable" purchase when you look at the dollar amount spent compared to the value of the ring. I am very pleased. No visible ink cushions to the naked eye and I would recommend having it insured immediately.
This ring could have been beautiful, but it had three dark gray spots in the middle of the center diamond. The craftsmanship of the gold was also very poor. I returned it the same day. The return dept. at overstock was very helpful.

Phoronix: It's Time For Another Survey
If you have a few minutes to spare from your schedule today, please take this survey. IDG TechNetwork that handles our advertising at Phoronix has a very short survey that they are looking for our readers to answer...
One of the shortest surveys I've ever filled. (Choose IT and receive thank you).
wow. 1 question. I feel like they soaked up so much information.
It's a lot more than one question if you choose Functional Business Unit ;(
I believe that I just answer the shortest survey as possible....
My survey says that it's obvious 99% of Phoronix readers are in 'IT' (like myself), and directing this audience at that survey is a waste of time!
Answer Functional Business Unit then... :P
What the heck is a functional business unit anyways? I answered operations and didn't meet the requirements either.
