    What do you think about the grillz epidemic?

    Teens sinking their teeth into grills - mouths full of bling
    Monday, April 03, 2006
    Jesse Tinsley
    Plain Dealer Reporter
    A broad smile revealing a mouthful of pearly whites is old school for a rising bling culture sinking its teeth into a so-called grill or front.

    Individual gold-capped teeth, which have drifted in and out of fashion since the early 1970s, have given way to grills and fronts - removable mouthpieces made of gold, platinum or silver and sometimes studded with jewels.

    The trend has been boosted in recent years by hip-hop icons such as Nelly and rappers like Paul Wall.

    After Nelly's 2005 hit "Grillz," which glorifies the trend, young people all over scrambled to wrap their happy chops around a shiny grill.

    Jacob Owens, a 17-year-old South High School student, snagged a diamond-studded silver grill a couple of months ago for 0.

    "Everybody is getting grills," Owens said while hanging out at the food court at Tower City. He chose silver to set himself apart in a trend he calls a "hot new thing."

    Owens sheds his grill to eat and at bedtime, but for the most part wears it for hours at a time to match his ear rings.

    With a grill, chains and ear rings, he is a manifestation of bling - a term coined in the late 1990s for flashy, expen sive jewelry and other adorn ments.

    Many of the mouthpieces - made from dental imprints - are purchased online. But they are sold at local outlets too, like Wired Up at Tower City.

    Jeremy McGrew, manager at the Wired Up kiosk, said business has been booming since the release of "Grillz."

    Generally, tooth imprints are made and sent to a jeweler who fashions the fronts and returns them to the client or retailer where the items were purchased.

    Although people like Owens may find it cool to flash their fronts, the mouth jewelry has caught the attention and concern of the American Dental Association.

    Matthew Messina, a Fairview Park dentist and ADA spokeman, said improper use and care of fronts can result in serious gum disease or cavities.
    Owens' story confirms Messina's concern that teens are wearing their mouthpieces for long periods without cleaning them often enough.

    Messina has no problem with the aesthetic aspect of a grill, but he warns of problems down the road if they are not kept clean or if they are bonded to natural teeth.

    Snap-on grills do not fit particularly well in and around the teeth, he said, allowing food and bacteria to get trapped underneath, which can cause cavities or other problems like gum disease or gum recession.

    Other dangers include allergic reactions to cheaper materials used to make the grills and adverse reactions to jewelry cleaners, which can burn gums, Messina said.

    "The really wealthy who have them made of high-quality precious metals, you will have less allergic reaction," Messina said. "Someone going more of a cut-rate route, where they are using lesser metals, we see a lot more metal-allergic reaction to more-base metals."

    Steve Michaels, who makes grills for Midwest Goldfronts in Minneapolis, said he gets clients from as far away as Cleveland and Los Angeles.

    Michaels said Midwest Goldfronts does quality work and discourages customers from attaching fronts with permanent cement, which dentists say can cause tooth damage and cost more money to repair.

    Messina said some vendors may be unaware that in some states - Ohio included - taking an impression of someone's mouth is considered dentistry, which requires a license.

    That did not seem to concern a group of four or five teens strolling the corridors of Tower City on a recent weekday. They all smiled - revealing their bling.

      This is a monumental task for anyone to, properly, edit and, to be sure your teacher doesn't have a sore hand from red-inking, you need to, carefully, re-read to correct spelling and grammatical errors (a dictionary should be always near you) and insert the proper punctuation marks.
      The second sentence doesn't require the words: out and some as one assumes she had to go out to get to the club and lunch, always, means some (or there isn't any lunch...). Read this aloud to determine whether, or not, it flows freely and after you've done this, have a friend read it to you. You need to use some more connective clauses, or words -this should not be a collection of, related by subject, sentences. Try to avoid repetition - the word performance is used six times(!) in the final two paragraphs; it's grammatically incorrect to end a sentence with "ever" as this it must be used in conjunction with the words which follow as in: ever was, ever happened or, ever will be. As mentioned previously - read it aloud, until it sounds right, and keep in mind the "flow" as this should sound conversational in rhythm.

      Note the bridge, or connecting, word and the commas - read aloud and you'll hear that it flows more easily.

24. QUESTION:
    Will Obama's rockstar power be enough to save taxpayer bank cheat Giannoulias from losing his old senate seat?
    Obama’s Thursday afternoon campaign event for Giannoulias, the beleaguered state treasurer of Illinois, reportedly raked in million. Lagging behind his GOP opponent, liberal Republican Rep. Mark Kirk, Giannoulias has coveted one-on-one, grip-and-grin time with Obama for months. In addition to the cash, photo-ops and video of the Obama fundraising event that Giannoulias will milk from now until Election Day, the White House has dispatched Vice President Joe Biden, White House senior adviser David Axelrod and White House campaign management guru David Plouffe to boost Giannoulias’ bid. Plouffe proclaimed Democrats “all in” for Giannoulias, whom he described as “a great progressive champion.”

    Obama gave his own personal seal of ethical approval, telling deep-pocketed donors this week: “I appreciate his strong sense of advocacy for ordinary Americans. You can trust him — you can count on him.” Uh-huh. And I’ve got a bridge to Hope and Change to sell you.

    .

    What would Giannoulias know about “ordinary Americans”? Giannoulias, 34, befriended Obama during pickup basketball games with an elite group that also included Michelle Obama’s brother, Craig; Chicago edu-crat Arne Duncan (now Education Secretary); and hedge fund manager John Rogers (the ex-husband of the Obamas’ ex-White House social secretary, Desiree Rogers). He spread his wealth and influence around early and often to support Obama’s fledgling political career. He pitched in ,000 in 2003-2004 to Obama’s Illinois State Senate bids. He hosted fundraisers for Obama’s U.S. Senate campaign in 2004 and for his presidential campaign in 2007.

    Where’d the cash come from? Giannoulias’ Greek immigrant family founded Chicago-based Broadway Bank, a now-defunct financial institution that loaned tens of millions of dollars to convicted mafia felons and faced bankruptcy after decades of engaging in risky, high-flying behavior. It’s the place where Obama parked his 2004 U.S. Senate campaign funds. And it’s the same place where a mutual friend of Obama and Giannoulias — convicted Obama fundraiser/slum lord Tony Rezko — used to bounce nearly 0,000 in bad checks written to Las Vegas casinos. This week, the Chicago Sun-Times revealed an additional .75 million Broadway Bank loan to a Rezko-owned business in 2006. Giannoulias held an ownership stake in the bank at the time.

    Giannoulias served as Broadway Bank vice president and senior loan officer for four years. According to the Chicago Tribune, during Giannoulias’ tenure, some million of Broadway Bank’s funny money went to mob crooks Michael “Jaws” Giorango and Demitri Stavropoulos. Giorango is a hustler who fronted a nationwide prostitution ring and was sentenced to six months in prison; Stavropoulos is behind bars for operating a multistate bookmaking ring. Giorango ran the 0-an-hour call girl operation out of high-rise luxury apartments in Chicago with the infamous “Gold Coast Madam,” Rose Laws. Giorango and Stavropoulos used their Broadway Bank loans to start their own risky lending business for nontraditional borrowers unable to secure traditional bank financing.

    Despite Giorango’s criminal record exposed by the Tribune in 2004, Broadway Bank approved massive mortgages for him. Giannoulias’ brother, Demetris, explained that as a “relationship bank,” Broadway wouldn’t just throw someone under the bus because of a “bad article.” Instead, the bank went ahead and rubber-stamped a September 2005 loan for .4 million to buy a 32-unit Los Angeles apartment complex. The application falsely stated that the borrower, Giorango, had “not been convicted of a felony.” Giannoulias oversaw the servicing of such shady loans totaling million. Remember: He was no low-level staffer. He was, as he reminded supporters when he needed to deflect attention away from his youth, top management at Broadway Bank.

    In January 2010, the bank entered a consent decree with federal and Illinois state regulators. It required Broadway Bank “to raise tens of millions in capital, stop paying dividends to the family without regulatory approval, and hire an outside party to evaluate the bank’s senior management.” The city’s former inspector general blasted Giannoulias and his family for tapping million worth of dividends in 2007 and 2008 as the real estate crash loomed. Broadway Bank was sitting on an estimated 0 million in bad loans. In late April, federal regulators shut it down. Cost to taxpayers: an estimated 0 million. Giannoulias refused to drop out of the race — and instead used the company failure to argue that it made him more qualified to serve in office: “I have a renewed vigor and a new perspective on just how horrible it is out there for so many people.”

25. QUESTION:
    Would it be a good idea to start this business?
    I would like to run a service in the Los Angeles area. Bulimic teenage girls would pay me to discreetly remove their excess vomit from their home, so as to aid in their hiding of their bulimia from friends and family.

    Then I would turn around and ship that vomit to Africa. Here I would sell it to starving African teenage girls, who want to be cool like girls in SoCal but cannot afford or produce enough food to make the vomit on their own.

    How could this business fail? I'd be making money on both ends. It seems like a gold mine, as long as customer service is good and there continues to be a market in both locales.
    I'm not trying to be funny, this is an actual idea I have. I can't understand why anybody would find this insulting. It's certainly not hurting anybody.

    • ANSWER:
      I don't think starving African teens will need any vomit because they're thin enough ...

26. QUESTION:
    What Is My Name??

    3. I was also a singer and harmonica player with at least one single that sold quite well. I'd tell you its name but then you'd guess mine too easily.

    4. After I got interested in golf, I became quite a celebrity, winning 82 golf tournaments and earning a place in the Hall of Fame for Golf.

    5. There is a golf course today in Florida that I bought in 1947. Today it even has my name on it.

    6. I have an interesting nickname that I earned because of my skill hitting the baseball. I hope that you can guess it.

27. QUESTION:
    Michael Jackson what he Contributed to the world?
    Jackson founded the "Heal the World Foundation" in 1992. The charity organization brought underprivileged children to Jackson's ranch, to go on theme park rides that Jackson had built on the property after he purchased it. The foundation also sent millions of dollars around the globe to help children threatened by war and disease. The Dangerous World Tour began on June 27, 1992, and finished on November 11, 1993. Jackson performed to 3.5 million people in 67 concerts. All profits from the concerts went to the "Heal the World Foundation", raising millions of dollars in relief.[72][74] He sold the broadcast rights to his Dangerous world tour to HBO for million, a record-breaking deal that still stands.[75] Following the illness and death of Ryan White, Jackson helped draw public attention to HIV/AIDS, something that was still controversial at the time. He publicly pleaded with the Clinton Administration at Bill Clinton's Inaugural Gala to give more money to HIV/AIDS charities and research.[76][77]

    In a high-profile visit to Africa, Jackson visited several countries, among them Gabon and Egypt.[78] His first stop to Gabon was greeted with a sizable reception of more than 100,000 people in "spiritual bedlam", some of them carrying signs that read, "Welcome Home Michael".[78] In his trip to the Ivory Coast, Jackson was crowned "King Sani" by a tribal chief.[78] He then thanked the dignitaries in French and English, signed official documents formalizing his kingship and sat on a golden throne while presiding over ceremonial dances.[78]

    One of Jackson's most acclaimed performances came during the halftime show at Super Bowl XXVII. As the performances began, Jackson was catapulted onto the stage as fireworks went off behind him. As he landed on the canvass, he maintained a motionless "clenched fist, standing statue stance", dressed in a gold and black military outfit and sunglasses; he remained completely motionless for several minutes while the crowd cheered. He then slowly removed his sunglasses, threw them away and began to sing and dance. His routine included four songs: "Jam", "Billie Jean", "Black or White" and "Heal the World". It was the first Super Bowl where the audience figures increased during the half-time show, and was viewed by 135 million Americans alone; Jackson's Dangerous album rose 90 places up the album chart.[7]

    Jackson was given the "Living Legend Award" at the 35th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. "Black or White" was Grammy nominated for best vocal performance. "Jam" gained two nominations: Best R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song.[72]
    then you have those sick people saying cruel things about him.. nice huh?

    RIP MJ "KING OF THE MOONWALK"

    • ANSWER:
      I HATE those people who say Michael Jackson is gonna burn in hell for milesting a kid! It's HORRIBLE!!!! And the things is all of those people who say that don't even KNOW half the songs he sang or maybe one of those things written in your question. Another thing I hate is when people say that Michael Jackson is a freak because he got plastic surgery all over his body but that is SOOOOO not true!!!! He has a skin disease that makes his skin go pale and blotchy and for some time he covered up the blothces with make up, that's why he sang Black or White.

      I HATE it when people go insulting the departed, shouldn't they focus on the good? I DESPISE it when people say some one is gonna burn in hell.

      Michael Jackson wasn't the best person (morally) but overall he WAS a good person and a legend.

      MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE :'(

    bar_enosh- I couldn't agree more. We are all imperfect, and it is Jehovah that will read our hearts in the end.

    • ANSWER:
      Many of those people are questionable. Because someone "was" one of Jehovah's Witnesses, or even "raised" a Witness is meaningless unless they continue to follow the path of Jesus Christ.

      And one mentioned as "lapsed," Firpo Carr, has for some time been reinstated and continues active as a Witness.

      The final judgment is in the hands of the Lord Jesus Christ, who judges on Jehovah's behalf.

      In the meantime, all that any of us can do is to endure in faith, following closely the footsteps of Christ, our Exemplar.
