From the archives of a juggalo forum .
"The Carnival Is Real
By Jessika
Just woke up this morning. I signed online and the first IM I got was from a friend telling me some Juggalos down in Florida killed themselves.
What a way to be greeted in the morning but to hear some of your family died. I asked why, and supposedly from the note they left a note saying all they had in life was the carnival and the faith it brought them and that after listening to "Thy Unveiling" they felt ICP tricked them. I think that's the part that saddens me most. Granted, I have no doubt those Juggalos are sitting in Heaven, chillin' in thier own Shangri-La. They probably have some Hot bitches buffing their pickle, faygo bottles being punted up to them from concerts down here, and diamonds raining all over their faces. If they lived by the carnival and well, god, then I have no doubt they made it.
But what saddened me because they felt ICP tricked them into believing something that wasn't real. I have spent a lot of time talking about this and more importantly thinking about it, and I don't think ICP was saying that's what they tricked y'all about. I think that they mean tricked in the sense that they all along were preaching god, and not being wicked. Like, they knew no one would listen to them just flat out preaching to them… so they did the wicked shit… in a good way if you feel me.
Now to some of us, we felt it all along… but some kids… well.. they didn't. I suppose I could be wrong about what ICP meant… but for now that's what I believe. Now even if ICP was lying the WHOLE time and it was a gimmick, and I don't think it is at ALL, but for the sake of argument. Ninjas shouldn't ever go and kill themselves over it. Because even if ICP was lying, the fact is and the fact remains this.
The Carnival, is real.
Now, allow me to explain it before someone calls me a crazy fanatic.
I believe in it because of my belief that all religions and beliefs are right and wrong. Wrong because they preach themselves as the ONLY truth but right because they teach you to be good and the basic fundamentals of goodness.
I believe God allows you to believe whatever you want, so long as you are a good person. This is why Jews, Muslims, and Christians alike all have some kind of miracle chilling in their religion.
I mean if there was one true religion why wouldn't god just come down and chill and say "believe this, this is true." I mean you think he would really just sit back and laugh at us and say "Hahah you are Christian.. WRONG! HELL FOR YOU!!!". Naw… all he cares about is that you are good. Now an atheist would say "now if there was a god why wouldn't he just show himself? Then there would be no doubt." but think about that on two levels.
One there is just to many things going on this world we just can not explain in scientific ways. We can only explain it with faith.
Two. Faith. Check it. If you knew there was a god definitely and that by going out and shooting someone you are going to hell… you wouldn't. Because you KNOW god is there, you KNOW god is real. There is no temptation to be bad so in actuality your morals are never tested. If your morals are never tested then really, how do you KNOW you have been good? Were you good because you were good, or because you had no other choice?
That's the most sense I can make out of it. I just have ideas. Who knows if they are right or wrong.
So where does this lead with the Carnival? I think god sits back and looks at the carnival and is like
"damn. Look at that. thousands of children who were wrong, misguided, bored with church, and having no other place to find faith, found it in music. Sure, they look at it like a carnival will come for them when they die, but.. look at them. They love each other like family, treat each other better then most, and are starting to do that right things. Check that out.
And look at that kid… he used to be a racist… he was headed down a path of murder based on race… and look at what the music did, because he found me in a carnival. aiight… straight… if that's what he believes.. that's what will great him when he dies".
After all when you die if you go to heaven you get this ultimate reward… but who's to say your ultimate reward is the same as mine? There can't be just one heaven. Heaven, judgment, and afterlife is whatever form you can best relate to, and fit in with. If you think you are gonna be judged at a pearly gate with saint peter chilling with a book… looking at your sins… well is that really so much different then being judged by "jokers cards" at a carnival? Really? I don't think so. Yet no one has problems looking at St. Peter like it's perfectly natural. You begin to relate to judgment like visiting a carnival and you are a cult.
So if when some kid dies, has done good, and deserves his ultimate reward and he is going to heaven… and he believes he's going to a carnival.. you think God is just going to hoe him out on that? It's the ultimate paradise and to some kids… the ideas that changed them is the places they want to remain for eternity. God bless them for that.
However he is, May the Juggalos find him.
One Love to all my family…. and if you ever feel so down and out you want to just end it, talk to someone! Talk to me! Jesse3957 on AIM, firstname.lastname@example.com.. I love y'all.
I dont know how legitimate this is but i think its proof of more juggalos committing cult like activity with another juggalo suicide due to icps music.

Value to rework a kitchen varies enormously by area (and even by zip code). We can provide you a ballpark vary of what your rework will price, based mostly on doing a whole lot of similar remodels over the years. Clear the waste and clear the mud and grime for the preparation of the new kitchen installation. It's regarded as the usual benchmark for the estimation of the costs for kitchen transforming.
It should take some effort to find what materials, finishes, manufacturers and options you will have in your kitchen which might be accessible inside your funds. Substitute current flooring with medium quality resilient flooring – Common of $25 to $35 per sq. yard, for a total of $775.
Discovering the best investment range for you involves carefully planning your kitchen rework and evaluating your priorities. As you may see, there's loads of variation in the cost of a excessive-finish kitchen transform. For instance, a kitchen designer in NYC may cost 15 percent of that budget, says Maryana , a Sweeten designer.
The NKBA additionally discovered that solely 22 p.c of house owners renovating a kitchen or a bathroom really employed a designer. Lowe's provides skilled design and set up companies to help you pull off your kitchen renovation , hassle-free. Refaced cabinets ($four,500 – $9,100) can give your kitchen a new search for a fraction of the price.
Installing a new sink and tap is one of the most purposeful updates you can do in your kitchen. Price for flooring with porcelain tiles is between $2 – $4 per square foot or solely about $four hundred for a ten×10 kitchen, making it an inexpensive possibility for adding type to your room.

January 10, 2017
1. Jay Clayton to be nominated for SEC Chairman
On January 4, President-elect Donald Trump announced his pick for the position that will have potentially the greatest effect on executive compensation and corporate governance professionals—Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The nominee, Jay Clayton, a partner at law firm Sullivan & Cromwell, has represented several banks including Goldman Sachs and Barclays. The Trump transition office noted that Clayton brings "decades of experience helping companies navigate complex federal regulations" and would "play an important role in unleashing the job-creating power of our economy," as reported by the Washington Post.
2. Tillerson gets paid out
In connection with his nomination to become Secretary of State, former Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson stepped down from his post just three months shy of being eligible for retirement. As Equilar reported previously, the board had to make a decision on whether to accelerate his retirement eligibility and award a cash payout to remove conflict of interest, which they in fact did nearly to the letter. Tillerson was also in the news later in the week, as he disclosed assets totaling approximately $400 million. While he will have severed ties to his corporate life if he is approved as the top State Department official, his four-plus decades faithfully serving the company appear to have paid off.
3. Proxy access now a majority practice
According to a new report from Sidley, more than half of S&P 500 companies have now adopted proxy access, giving their shareholders the right to nominate directors under certain conditions. The report noted that overall, 342 companies have enacted proxy access in the last two years, including 79 additional companies since its September 2016 report. Despite widespread adoption, there has yet to be a case where proxy access has been successfully leveraged to elect directors.
4. Outlook on 2017 pay regulations
With the new SEC Chairman expected to take a hard look at executive pay regulations enacted or proposed through Dodd-Frank, a lot could change in 2017. Bloomberg BNA walked through the potential ramifications of the Financial Choice Act on these recently passed and proposed rules.
5. The top 100 highest-Paid Canadian CEOs
Aside from the highest-flyer—former Valeant CEO Michael Pearson, who was awarded compensation worth $182 million—CEO pay in Canada as a whole is much lower than in the U.S. The second-highest paid CEO received compensation of approximately $26.2 million, and no other CEO earned more than $20 million. In the U.S., there were 53 CEOs at companies above $1 billion in revenue who crossed that threshold, according to the annual Equilar 200 study with The New York Times.

According to today's Wall Street Journal, Amazon and the US Postal Service are testing a new delivery service for groceries including meat, produce etc. They already partner on Sunday deliveries and are expanding their collaboration efforts to see if this new model can be successful. What a combination of innovation and collaboration! Win-lose, collaborate for success partnership thinking (beating your suppliers down on price with no thought to creating gains for them as well) is no longer successful. Instead, think about how to make collaboration yield 1 + 1 = 21.
One tip to implement this week: Do you view your suppliers, customers and other partners as true partners? How about your employees? For example, do you search for ways to help your customer reduce costs regardless of its impact on you? You should! If everyone started thinking about how to turn 1 + 1 = 21, we'd have exponentially more successful businesses. Try looking at it from the other person's point of view? What would benefit them? What if your approach started with this perspective? I guarantee benefits to you will follow.
Looking for more ideas to keep your supply chain connected? Access more tips and resources on my blog. And keep connected by subscribing to my newsletter and email feed of "I've Been Thinking…"Tags: business trends, collaboration, delivery service, I've been thinking, partnering, reduce costs, successful partnering, supply chain

I was scheduled to fish with Mia Sheppard and Jenn Mitchell on the lower Deschutes the following day. Mia and Jenn both own and operate fly fishing guide services in Oregon and Washington (Little Creek Outfitters and The Evening Hatch). Our original plan had been to float the Klickitat river across the border in Washington with Jenn as our guide. But the recent spell of hot weather called for Plan B. The Klick could blow at any moment. Mia suggested an area called Kloan on the lower Deschutes. The 3 of us would just meet up and fish.
|The Steelhead sistas! (Jenn, Hyun, and Mia :)
There was 1 other vehicle there when we arrived. 2 guys were camped out by the river near the parking area. They were up, drinking coffee, and walking around in just their tighty whities. I'm sure the last thing they expected to see early that morning was 3 flygirls getting out of an SUV, donning waders, and rigging up their rods ;). They disappeared from view momentarily and emerged shortly afterwards fully dressed and very curious about who we were. They were very sweet. Apparently they've been coming to the Deschutes to fish for over 20 years. Thanks to them, we have a picture of the steelhead sistas :).
|The lower Deschutes, Kloan.
We hiked back to the car. By some miracle, Jenn had cell service. She heard that the Klick was still fishable (1-2 feet of visibility), so we made our way out of the Kloan and drove over to the Washington side of the Columbia river. Mia would join us later after she took care of some pressing work emails and phone calls. Jenn and I drove upriver, stopping along the way to check out conditions. As we went further upstream, Jenn noticed the water clarity deteriorating. So we drove back down river and managed to fish a couple of spots before we had to call it a day. It sure would have been fun if one of us had hooked a "hot" Klickitat steelhead. But I still had a great time with my steelhead sisters! Hope to fish with them again next time I'm out west.

As Australia obsesses over the merits of a pink cricket ball which has been 10 years and millions of dollars in the making, here's a thing or two to put this epic feat of sports goods engineering into perspective.
Distinguished Professor James Dale (yep, that's his real title) of the Queensland University of Technology has been working on colour changes too. He's making bananas more orange so he can save millions of malnourished kids each year from dying.
In central African nations like Uganda, many poor people largely subsist on a local strain of bananas which are low in certain key micronutrients. Professor Dale hopes is developing a pro-vitamin A-enriched banana which will make banana flesh more orange and everybody healthier.
Now there's a colour change which has been 10 years, and $10 million of Gates foundation money, well spent.
Meanwhile, as cricketers fear that the new pink ball will be quickly whacked out of shape and go all egg-shaped, Flinders University Professor Colin Raston last year perfected a device that can unboil an egg.
Unboiling eggs is simpler than changing the colour of a cricket ball. (Picture: Flinders University)
Professor Raston's "Vortex Fluidic Device" is actually designed to make pharmaceuticals easier to produce. But who knows? Perhaps cricket authorities might duck across town and seek a little of Professor Raston's eggspertise, should the state of the ball become a bad yolk.
Ball manufacturer Kookaburra undertook 10 years of development, seven years of testing, and trialled 16 shades of pink and three different stitching colours before settling on the final pink-with-green-stitching ball to be used in this week's Test. Yet many in the cricket fraternity fear it will still scuff too much, and too quickly.
Perhaps Kookaburra could have consulted University of Queensland inventor and chief scientific officer Professor Darren Martin, who headed a $3 million project which just developed a scratch-resistant and environmentally sustainable acrylic. (People, your smartphone glass is about to get a whole lot harder.)
Kookaburra managing director Brett Elliott recently revealed that he had fired balls out of a cannon and even sent one into space as part of the testing process to see how "they respond to different atmospheres and conditions".
Perhaps the ball collided with the new Japanese satellite which Australia's Bureau of Meteorology is now using. The BoM also just lashed out on a new $77 million supercomputer to improve the accuracy of weather forecasting data. It's working too. That 40-degree day in Sydney last week which everyone was talking about? They forecast that sucker a week in advance.
Steve Smith will be aiming for the Himawari-8. (Picture: BoM)
Kookaburra's Brett Elliott made it clear that the balls-in-space thing was novelty testing. But he was deadly serious when he added that "ultimately the testing that has taken place has been very formal, very structured, and involved a lot of professionals of their fields".
Project Pink has no doubt been every bit as thorough and exhaustive as Mr Elliott claims. We salute everybody involved. We just thought we'd share some other scientific advances which have also been "very formal, very structured, and involved a lot of professionals of their fields".
Why? Because it's only a bloody pink ball, that's why. Like a pink lollipop, the next not particularly scientific step here should be to suck it and see. Too much has been written already in speculation.
Road-testing new medicine? Nope. Just cricket balls. (Picture: Kookaburra)
"I think we've got it as far as we can at this stage. The next stage is matches being played at international level," Elliott said recently.
We're with him. Let's see what happens on Friday.
Meanwhile, there are no shortage of innovations in Australian science which deserve a lot more attention and analysis than a cricket ball with pink lacquer coating.

The New Yorker has published an article by David Remnick on an Israeli TV drama about an Israeli military unit in the West Bank, filmed in Israel. The show, "Fauda," is in its second season and streams on Netflix. Here is a quick review.
The article talks about the Nakba, but accompanied by the overhyped claim that five Arab armies were trying wipe out Israel. I am no expert, but that is oversimplified propaganda. The Nakba discussion is decent, but why should an American publication get credit for this? It happened and Western liberals were either misled or lied about it for decades. That period is long over.
There is a page or so about the extent to which Israel has become more unwilling to acknowledge any wrongdoing and then we are back in familiar turf, where oh-so-sensitive but tough Israelis tell the American journalist about the occupation.
For some two decades, [creator and screenwriter Lior] Raz and his first comrades in the unit didn't talk about the uglier side of their work, the price exacted on Palestinians, and the price exacted on them. "It all stayed there and deep inside of us," he said.
It turns out the show is run very professionally by oh-so-sensitive Israeli elite soldiers who sneer when their precise operations are criticized in a world where the US bombs Afghan weddings and Russia bombs hospitals.
[Israeli veteran and martial arts instructor Nimrod] Astel said that when he hears of American forces dropping a bomb on a wedding in Afghanistan or a Russian aircraft destroying a hospital in Syria he has a hard time taking seriously the moral criticism directed at Israeli behavior in the West Bank.
"The job was to capture the bad guy as quietly as possible, to avoid killing or hurting anyone else," Astel said.
We are told twice that Israel left Gaza and received rockets in reply. Co-writer Avi Issacharoff says, "We left Gaza and they won't let us leave it behind."
Nothing about Israeli bombing or shooting of civilians in Gaza in various wars and in peacetime, though the Kfar Qasim massacre of 1956, in which dozens of Palestinian workers were killed for violating curfew, is mentioned. Israeli politicians apologized. Fictional Palestinian terrorists in the TV show are humanized slightly. "[T]he picture of the main terrorist is not done in black-and-white. It's painted in shades in between," Danna Stern, a TV executive, explains helpfully.
A couple of real Israeli victims of a stabbing attack are described. The "Green Prince" is repeatedly cited as an authority and a hero– the son of a Hamas leader in the West Bank who served as an Israeli informant, "feeding the Shin Bet information that is said to have prevented many suicide-bombing attacks and led to the arrests of his father and [Marwan] Barghouti." Diane Buttu is given two paragraphs to present the Palestinian view– "when we spoke she made a compelling critique of 'Fauda,'" Remnick writes– after pages telling us that Israeli have been disillusioned by the Second Intifada and our sensitive Israeli informants have told us there is nobody to talk to, and they have been cheered like rock stars at an AIPAC conference.
"The majority of Israelis lost hope in peace," Issacharoff says. "The average Israeli says that the Palestinians are no partner for peace. The second intifada was a deep wound that you cannot heal."
So basically even in a piece which is critical of Israel by US standards everything has to be carefully filtered through a couple of Israelis who repeat standard refutable hasbara claims.
I was thinking of sending a link to this piece to a Christian Zionist friend of mine in hopes of penetrating his ideological barrier regarding the Nakba, but the piece is so full of the standard cliches I changed my mind.

Anastorover is a nonsteroidal antiestrogenic drug of the third generation (aromatase inhibitor) produced by the well-known pharmacological company Vermodje (Moldova). The main field of its application is sports practice, where it is used to minimize / eliminate gynecomastia, fluid retention in the body and other estrogenic side effects (take the drug is recommended only for long-term steroid courses with high dosages).
Note that Anastrover from Vermodje is one of the most powerful and effective estrogen antagonists used to prevent feminization. By activity and productivity, it surpasses even everyone's beloved Tamoxifen, because it is based on a completely different effect principle (it blocks the aromatization, the production of estrogens).
Recommendations and instructions for use Anastrover
In sports practice, anastrozole is recommended mainly to experienced and professional athletes using long courses and high dosages of highly aromatized anabolic and androgenic steroids.
In this case, the intake of this anti-estrogen in sports is contraindicated in the fairer sex. And that's all, because female athletes, by applying Anastorer, can face a significant violation of the natural level of hormones in the body. Another thing is medicine, where Anastrozole is regularly prescribed to girls for therapy / treatment of breast cancer.
We should note that you can take this antiestrogenic drug in sports practice in several ways. The first one is Anastor's treatment from the very beginning of the course of steroids in the therapeutic dosage. The second – with the first signs of aromatization and / or its consequences (gynecomastia, fluid retention, etc.) at a dosage of 0.25 to 1 mg per day.
Calculate the dose of this drug, when you know what kind of dosage you need, it is quite simple. This drug has the most convenient concentration of active substance – 1mg / tab, so there should not be any problems with dosing. So, to take the maximum recommended dose (1 mg), you need exactly 1 tablet of the drug, and for the minimum recommended (0.25 mg) – a quarter, etc.

Initially, it should be noted: do not delay with aromatase inhibitors during the course and expect when you develop gynecomastia. If you prefer short ethers, then after 10 days from the beginning of the course you need to pass the test for estradiol. Often it is on its results and it is recommended to take Anastrozole at PCT – 0.5 mcg alternating every other day to avoid gynecomastia. In the case of the use of long esters, the administration of Anastrozole Vermoja requires an additional analysis for estradiol. Doses can be adjusted depending on the result of the tests.
To use an Anastrover 1 mg, the price of which is very low, is undesirable for more than two weeks. If there are side effects such as increased blood pressure, joint pain, headaches, depression, decreased libido, drowsiness, changes in mood, the norm should be lowered.

There's no way to stop progress. Technology renews the way we think, act and do business on a daily basis—and if you don't keep up, you're likely to be left behind.
Just as people threw out tapes when CDs came along, many potential customers are unwilling to dial phone numbers or even write an email: if it isn't easy, they probably won't do it. That's why all of your website client conversion tactics CANNOT be tied into one form, be it a phone number, a Facebook page, or a free newsletter. You have to think outside the box.
Here are a few key ways to turn website readers into clients:
- Social media. Afraid of Facebook, Twitter, or other social media sites? Many other attorneys aren't—and it makes a difference. It may seem silly to have a Facebook page for your practice, but you want to put your business where people feel comfortable and "hang out"—even if it's a virtual community.
- Live Chat. People don't want to wait for someone to call them back or respond to a message: they want answers now. A Live Chat widget on your site allows them instant access to a real person, and could be well worth the time and resources you put into training an operator.
- Free reports. Offering additional information that isn't available on your site is a powerful tool in starting a conversation. Someone who orders your book is more likely to call for a consultation, since they feel they already know you.

They don't tell us much about her, actually. Maybe she wasn't compliant. What we do know is that she wasn't shot and she didn't shoot him either. And this
The woman had bruises on her face, head, torso, arms and legs, as well as bite marks, broken ribs and a collapsed lung, the report states.
As Hall was being booked into the Tulsa Jail, officers reportedly recovered from his pocket a piece of the woman's ear.
Do not think for a moment that evil does not exist. Here is a man capable of doing this to the mother of his child. With nothing more than his hands and teeth.
And then there is this man. (h/t Rachel Lucas) Law enforcement had the luxury of being just seconds away and yet he pushed his own grandmother into a wall in order to attack his ex-girlfriend right there in the courtroom. Bet the judge didn't even have to consider whether or not to approve her paper armor.
Hands. Feet. The hope of rescue. This is what those pushing for gun control would leave us. Be a good victim and maybe, just maybe, your attacker will leave you maimed with a collapsed lung. If you're very lucky, you'll be able flag down help.
They tell me that by bringing a gun I'm doing nothing more than escalating the violence. I intend to introduce as much defensive violence to the situation as I possibly can in order to rapidly de-escalate the predatory violence. Because I don't want them to find my ear in an attacker's pocket. If that's escalation, so be it. My life is worth protecting with deadly force. I have no intention of being a good victim. I will not be complaint and well behaved.

When you discover that your best friend really likes your boyfriend, it's normal to feel jealous. How strong your emotions are may depend on whether your boyfriend likes her back. Treating them both with suspicion can create more problems, so carefully consider your response to avoid driving him away and destroying the relationship with your best friend.
Determine the Threat
Jealousy is a reaction to a perceived threat to your relationship, according to psychotherapist Clifford N. Lazarus in "Taming Jealousy" for Psychology Today. Just because your best friend likes your boyfriend doesn't mean that she's trying to steal him. It's a breach of ethics to steal your best friend's boyfriend, so give her the benefit of the doubt if you can. If your boyfriend isn't romantically interested in her, the threat to your relationship could be negligible. You can stand down when there is no active threat to the relationship. Let your best friend know that you have a keeper and acknowledge her good taste in men. Be attentive and loving to your boyfriend and let him know how special he is. Remind yourself that your relationship is in no danger.
Discussing Behaviors
Have a chat if either your best friend or boyfriend are ruffling your feelings with their actions, suggests Lazarus. Ask your best friend to stop flirting with your boyfriend and let her know how it makes you feel, for example. Identify the emotions for her and let her know that you're getting hurt. She might not realize how her actions are hurting you. In a similar fashion, talk to your boyfriend about flirting back or egging her on for the attention. In either case, don't cast blame for your feelings. State what you see as unemotionally as possible and ask for it to stop.
Stilling the Inner Voices
When most or all of the threat is in your head, deal with the issues that inflame the jealousy, such as fear of betrayal because of a failed past relationship or poor self-esteem. Don't compare yourself to your best friend, advises psychologist Melanie Greenberg in "The Psychology of Scarcity" for Psychology Today. Practice gratitude for your awesome boyfriend and the wonderful things in your life, such as your child, job and your circle of friends. Let your best friend know you appreciate her friendship and express your hope that she finds a relationship that is awesome for her. Tell your boyfriend how happy you are with him and list his best qualities. If you can't still the voices alone, seek professional help.
A Real Threat
If your best friend and boyfriend are betraying you, you have a bigger problem, acknowledges therapist Helen Fisher in "Jealousy -- The Monster" on Oprah.com. When confronting them doesn't stop the behaviors, decide whether to maintain a relationship with either one of them. Eliminating one of them from your life could fix the problem. Hopefully when they understand what's going on, they will take steps to preserve the relationships with you and put an end to your discomfort.

Investigation launched by Longford Gardai as man is attacked in his own home
A man in his sixties is recovering in hospital this morning after being subjected to an assault in his home in Longford town yesterday evening.
The victim was attacked at around 5pm (on Wednesday, September 16) in the Camlin Mews area of town after responding to a knock at his front door.
As he opened the door, a male suspect burst in where an altercation ensued.
The victim who is 62-years-old, is believed to have tried to fight off his attacker but sustained a series of injuries in the process.
They included cuts to his eye, forehead, head and hands as he tried to defend himself.
Gardai were alerted soon after and the victim was taken to Mullingar's Midland Regional Hospital for treatment.
A man, aged 45, has since been arrested and is currently being detained at Longford Garda Station for questioning.
Gardai, meanwhile, have also appealed to members of the public to come forward.
They especially want to speak to eye witnesses who may have been in or around the Camlin Mews area at around the time of the incident to contact them.
Anyone with information is asked to phone Longford Garda Station at (043) 33 50570.

Call today!
Right off Hwy 80 & 65
Our office can provide you with complete dental care. Whether you need a routine cleaning or more extensive dental work, we can accommodate you. Dr. Titlow and our entire staff will ensure that you are comfortable. Rest assured that your dental visit will be safe, clean, and quick.
Our cosmetic dentistry consists mainly of treatments that patients elect to have done, meaning they do not treat a health concern. These treatments are meant to improve the overall look and feel of your mouth and teeth. Some of the work is covered by insurance plans (like fillings, bonding, crowns, etc.). There are many others that are likely not covered by most dental plans. In the end, this would be figured out by your insurance team.
Our cosmetic dentistry services include:
Teeth Whitening
Today, teeth whitening is a common treatment. We've found that people are always looking to achieve a whiter smile, and we have a lot of options to help you to enjoy whiter teeth! The most common form is a take-home treatment allowing you to engage in the process in the comfort of your own home. We can discuss your whitening needs with you and determine the best way to get you the smile that you want.
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are layers of ceramic (which has the look and feel of your teeth) that are secured and bonded to your real teeth. Veneers are mostly used to correct minor chips, stains, or to straighten the look of your smile. They are as close to real teeth as most dental work can get, and they are very strong and lasting too. Your porcelain veneers will be custom made, and they can be placed over any healthy tooth, top or bottom, front or back.
With veneers, you can quickly achieve a new smile without having to whiten, have braces, or spend countless hours in the office. Veneers are a great choice to cover up stains and spots, chips and cracks, crooked or worn teeth, small gaps, and crowded teeth.
Clear Correct
Clear Correct is a clear way to achieve a straighter, more aligned smile without the use of metal braces, which has long been one of the only options. Clear Correct works by slowly moving your teeth into proper space with a series of clear, custom-made, units which are able to be removed. We can design the perfect Clear Correct treatment for you.
Restorative dental work is professionally known as the study, treatment, and handling of your teeth and the structures that support them. Simply put, this involves the repair of teeth that may have been damaged, decayed, or lost. This is done using many varied dental treatments.
Dental CrownsDental Crowns are caps that are placed over your real teeth (those that have healthy roots, but are too decayed to support fillings). There may be decay present, a crack in the tooth, or too much of the structure broken off to support any type of filling. This decay could come from poor dental hygiene, or an instance that caused structural damage to one or more teeth. A dental crown can cover the damaged tooth, making it work like new.
Dental ImplantsA dental implant is a Titanium root device with a crown on top of it, often used to mimic a tooth or group of teeth. Just about all dental implants placed today appear the same as the tooth with its real root and are placed within the bone. Dental implants are very modern and will give you a beautiful smile.
Are your gums swollen? Does brushing or flossing cause them to bleed? Do you avoid eating popcorn or chips because it causes you pain? These are the most common signs of periodontal/gum disease. Taking action early can be your best defense against it getting worse.
FillingsDental fillings are used to fill-in and address cavities. Real-feel, metal-free fillings are a safe and popular option to replace metal fillings.These fillings are made of white dental bonding, and Dr. Titlow can match them to your unique tooth color, so the fillings will be smooth among the rest of your teeth. We do warn you that if you have constant tooth pain, aching, or you are experiencing pain from hot and cold foods or beverages, you may have a cavity. You shouldn't delay in having it looked at and treated. If left untreated, cavities not only cause severe pain, but can also lead to problems such as tooth loss, gum disease, and even bone loss.
We offer sedation during dental treatment, for those who are typically a bit uncomfortable when visiting the dentist. Sedation refers to the use of sedatives during your visit. The sedatives will calm and relax your mind and body.

Celebrating Our 7th Wedding Anniversary in NZ
It was not really planned. And yet my husband and I ended up celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary in the land where they say there are more sheep than people: New Zealand 🙂
We checked out the following places and more during that one fine day in November (our 7th wedding anniversary also falls on the 7th day of November).
Pegasus Town. Together with my cousin Jaireh, his wife and kid, the hubby and I went to Pegasus Town in North Canterbury (we were coming from Christchurch). We had our lunch at the Pegasus Golf and Sports Club and took time to stroll around the area.
Hanmer Springs. Next stop after Pegasus was Hanmer Springs. With the temperature at 5 degrees (Centigrade), one doesn't really think of swimming. But as we were in a new place, Jaireh managed to convince us that we should go for a dip at Hanmer Springs, specifically into its thermal pools. Hanmer is also located in the Canterbury region. Yes, it was really cold as we put on our swimwear and walked to one of its pools (the pools have different temperatures, think hot to hottest) but as soon as we got into it, it was really relaxing 🙂 Below is one of the pools we chose to swim in:
Experiencing Nature. New Zealand is such a scenic country and it is easy to find so many postcard-perfect spots or should I say, instagram-worthy ones. And so before we headed back to Christchurch, we stopped several times to take photos 🙂 And I was so thankful that I finally got to see cherry blossoms 🙂 We also had to take photos with the sheep and deer which you could see just dotting the green landscape as we drove by.
Kiwi and Chinese food. Of course, the day won't be complete without food 🙂 As mentioned, we ate lunch at Pegasus Town. We also had a light snack at Hanmer Springs. We capped the day with a dinner at a Chinese eating place: Dragon Restaurant. (You can also check out some of the Kiwi/New Zealand food we enjoyed in NZ here.)
What a beautiful day we had! We are truly thankful to God, to Jaireh and to his "fam bam" and to our friends and family who have helped make the trip to NZ a beautiful reality 🙂 Thank God from whom all blessings flow 🙂
Note: Daryl and I were a part of a group of pastors and leaders from our church who were invited for a leaders' training in Hamilton, New Zealand. We stayed on for a few more days after the training to see friends and family in NZ.

Daaaamn New Zealand?! ❤❤❤

New York, NY – Bitcoin, the trend setting crypto-currency, recently saw a downturn, making the financial world ponder over whether the anonymous, decentralized payment system was not a mere bubble. Buoyed up by tech savvy individuals, numerous other variants of bitcoins have recently emerged. Strahan McNeil Partners, a financial services firm, holds a positive outlook on the future of cryptocurrency as a popular, new age alternative to old money.
Bitcoin has recently slipped by as much as 35 percent, but it looks like cryptocurrency is here to stay and change the way the world pays for goods and services, or even makes an investment. Bitcoins have gained fame for being anonymous, outside the established financial system, finite, and completely private. It is also known to be friendly for Crowdfunding, P2P technology, and the digital economy.
"At Strahan McNeil Partners, we are always open to making new investment opportunities available to our clients. Cryptocurrencies hold promise as the currency for the digital millennium, and we are available to offer consultancy to investors and other parties interested in joining the future," says Strahan McNeil.
Beginning with David Chaum who invented a secure algorithm, and Satoshi Nakamoto, who led the new currency into the public limelight, cryptocurrencies today come in several flavors. The latest are Ether, which recently climbed to a high price range, and DigitalNote, which even allows for interest to be accrued on a locked amount. With some major corporate players accepting cryptocurrency as payment, the digital payment system is slowly gaining in position as an acceptable, non-government controlled currency.
Strahan McNeil Partners is a New York headquartered finance firm which operates a global network of over 560 finance professionals redefining their traditional role as 'financial technicians'. The firm offers specialized financial services that handles audits, restructuring, structured finance, and mergers and acquisitions. Focused on turning knowledge into value and advantage for its clients, Strahan McNeil Partners provides clients with wide ranging financial and accounting services that meet globally consistent norms.
Strahan McNeil Partners is today playing a new role in the capital markets, supporting positive reforms that would strengthen credibility and confidence.

Luke admits the national anthem is very "challenging" and "nerve-wracking" to perform, but he's up for the challenge. "I moved to Nashville to follow my dreams and singing the national anthem on that stage doesn't get any bigger."
Singing then anthem is also a way for Luke to put his American pride on full display.
He adds, "I never served in the military — that's something I wish I had had the opportunity to do, but I feel like this is my way of honoring my country. It's a little chance to serve."

Hi, I'm Melanie. I'll help you create compelling content that boosts sales and engagement.
I'm an experienced developmental, substantive, and technical editor. I also do proofing if you're looking for a final set of eyes to catch anything amiss.*
Here's the thing. Writing is inherently vulnerable. Words are personal. I get it. No one wants to have their words changed or rearranged, but pretty much everyone (including editors) can benefit from hiring an editor. Your ideas will be clearer, and your audience will be happier.
When people ask me what I do, I tell them my job is to take someone's words, keep their voice and ideas, and help them sound even better. My goal in every job is to help you find the best way to convey your message while keeping the "you" intact.
Full transparency: I'm a fan of the Oxford comma. However, I don't have the club jacket or pay dues, so I'm free to discuss whether that particular piece of drama works with your style.
And here are some rave reviews from people I didn't pay to be nice to me.
*I'm currently looking to be part of a fun, forward-thinking team. If you're looking for someone, too, let's talk! You can find me on LinkedIn; send me InMail so we can get this party started.
