Taxi – Pinball Cabinet Decals Set
High quality set of original Taxi cabinet decals. Please allow 5-7 days for preparation of your order before shipping.
€ 209
For the serious pinball collector and flipper enthusiasts, Taxi pinball cabinet decals using original artwork display perfect colors matched to the factory design. Unlike poor quality "next generation" side art which is a cheap reproduction imitation and may lower the value of your precious game, these decals will make your game look brand new again and are faithfully restored.
Made with NxtEVO2 Technology
A proprietary printing technology designed specifically to deliver the best quality of colors and finish on cast vinyl for arcade machine cabinets, giving a high gloss finish!
The thinner self adhesive vinyls will allow for minor wood grain texture to display through the graphics, in order to achieve a look more like the original direct screen printed cabinets. Or, fill and sand your cabinet to a smooth surface and these decals will look as smooth as glass.
This level of versatility can not be achieved with any other cabinet side art or flipper product on the market.
Can be applied wet or dry to your Taxi, and always best to use heat from a hot air gun or hair dryer to make the adhesive permanent. Crinkles and creases also magically disappear when heat is used with this product.
"Simply the best choice for hobby restorers all over the world!"
The vinyl is a high strength, industrial grade material intended for long term outdoor use (your pinball will never be outdoors). Originally designed for use on Aircraft, Trucks and wall signage, the resistance to the effects of UV and sunlight is unlike any others on the market. Colors stay strong for years to come, and when used indoors
The strength and quality of this vinyl mean they will not crease or crinkle like many others, and is tear resistant. A product developed directly in Europe by Pinball Decals.eu for pinball owners and fans of Taxi!
Forget Discolored Artwork
Many restores have found that discolored or dirty cabinets can have an affect on the finished artwork. Even base color paints or black around the edges can been seen through lower quality cabinet decals.
The grey backed "blockout" vinyl we use provides a solid base color which prevents discoloration of the cabinet wood, stains, or paint from showing through the graphics.
It's now easier than ever to restore your flipper pinball cabinet with new side art, thanks to advances in technology and quality materials.
Storing Your Cabinet Decals for Future Use
If you don't need to install your new side art straight away, then the correct way to store them is rolled up and kept in the tube. Vinyl material comes new on a roll and this is the best way to keep them rather than storing "flat".
This particular material features a shelf life guaranteed for 10 years when stored correctly, but when you need to use your new pinball cabinet decals, simply lay them out flat the day before you intend to use them and you will find fitting and installation much easier.
Fitting New Decals Is Easy
You don't need to be a pro restorer! Correct installation procedure can be accomplished with the use of a felt edge squeegee or a microfiber towel. No advanced tools are necessary, and the messy methods of installing decals "wet" with water are not required for a perfect finish.
Leave newly installed cabinet decals to dry and settle for 7 days before reassembly, or speed up this process and permanently adhere your sideart with the use of a hot air gun. Our vinyl will not burn, and your flipper is safe, so go over them with plenty of heat and the glue will set within only 24 hours!
Example Flipper Decals Installation Video
Don't forget to check out our whole range of pinball cabinet decals to see what we have for your favorite game, and search for other side art.
Pinball Decals .eu offers these Taxi pinball cabinet decals for home hobby use and professionals alike. All restorations in Europe for Taxi cabinet decals, and USA for Taxi pinball games. This is the best choice and most reliable product for the Taxi machine.

The least we can say about sex today in Taylorsville, Utah is that it is much freer than it used to be. Indeed, today it is possible to see sex as nothing more than sex, while being aware of the love one feels for an official spouse. That's why the sex clubs in Taylorsville are so successful, and affect both couples and singles. They allow you to satisfy sexual desires that are sometimes described as "unorthodox". Luckily, there are always people who are willing to give it a try and give you pleasure, as long as they benefit from it as well. That's what a partner swapping is all about.
Are you locked in a monotonous relationship that bores you? Or do you want to try new experiences with your partner? Or have you always been curious or inquisitive about anything to do with sex? Whatever your reasons, know that you can satisfy all your desires by choosing to try the experience with a sexual promiscuity in Taylorsville, UT. If you live nearby, you will be spoilt for choice, as there are many clubs that offer this kind of service. You can opt for a paid membership in one of these clubs, or choose to go through an online dating site. However, before going any further, it is important to understand the notion of swinging and to learn a little more about all its practices.
What are swinger in Taylorsville, Utah?
Swinging is a practice that has long been associated with promiscuity. It consists in wanting to try new sexual experiences, most often with different partners. Thus, among the most frequent kinky sexual practices, we find :
- Cuckold
- Threesome
- Voyeurism
- Group sex, etc.
It is therefore up to you to know what interests you the most, and to try it out. To do so, you can go to a sex club in Taylorsville, UT or a swingers club, whichever suits you best. Please note that the swingers club in Taylorsville is mostly suitable for couples, and not for a single person. Anyway, the practices in these clubs are more or less identical. They are created to help couples or people who want to better discover sex, to satisfy their desires. It is the place where all fantasies can come to life and come true without fear of shocking or being frowned upon.
Where can we meet swingers in Taylorsville, UT?
If you feel like doing a promiscuity or ephemeral in Taylorsville, Utah meeting, just for a good fuck and nothing more, you will have several options. Depending on whether you live in Taylorsville, UT or in other cities in the world, you will be able to find the best addresses to do it. You will be able to go on forums and consult kinky or naughty ads to find your happiness. Don't hesitate to find out as much as you can about these clubs, to find out if they are suitable or not. You will be able for example to try to know :
- The price for a subscription, unless it's a club that offers free meetings...
- Dress code to be adopted on site so as not to be different from other members.
- The profile of people accepted on the spot: hetero couples, bi couples, single men, etc.
You should also know that depending on the type of club you choose, you may be entitled to all kinds of additional services. For example, you may find :
- A libertine sauna
- A hammam
- A libertine spa
- A libertine restaurant
- A libertine bar
- A libertine hotel
- Or a dirty hot tub.
Each exhibitionism place has its own specific characteristics and will therefore be adapted to different categories of people. However, what remains unchanged most of the time are the rules to be followed in this kind of place. Indeed, a sex club in Taylorsville, UT is not necessarily a place of debauchery where only one woman can be attacked. On the contrary, there are strict rules that are respected by all members, and there are security guards to make sure that everything goes smoothly.
Therefore, even if you see nudists on the spot, wiggling around on the dance floor and seeming to tease you, you must keep in mind that they may want nothing more than your admiring gaze. The best you can do is grope them and they will go for it, but there is no guarantee that you will be able to close the deal. Everyone who goes to this place does it for a personal reason, not necessarily to get laid.
To find the best club adapted to singles or to a swingers practice in Taylorsville, UT, you can go through an online dating site. Be careful however to find a good site, if possible the best site, to be sure to find an elitist club with a good reputation. Indeed, wanting to find a booty in Taylorsville doesn't necessarily mean that you are ready to go to badly known or cheap places. In fact, there are swingers clubs in Taylorsville, Utah adapted to people of a certain social class, who are more than anything else concerned about the desire to remain anonymous. All this just goes to prove once again that it is in your best interest to find out what kind of sex club is right for you.
As far as serious dating sites you can go, you will have the choice between :
- tinder
- bumble
- happn
- parship, etc.
On the other hand, sites like meetic or elite dating are more selective, because they allow you to bring together people who are looking for true love, not a sex plan. So unless you want to find a soul mate or build a lasting and serious relationship, the best thing to do is to opt for the other sites mentioned above.
What is a swingers club in Taylorsville, UT?
If you are wondering about the possibility of being both hedonist and engaged in a couple in Taylorsville, know that the two go well together. There are indeed several swinger couples in Taylorsville, UT attracted by the desire to diversify their sexual practices. Above all, they want to make interesting encounters, to live their fantasies in Taylorsville, UT with their partner and with other people as well. This is why it is not uncommon today to see couples attending a swinging party. However, they need to establish strict rules that allow them to preserve their relationship beyond their desire to spice up their sex life. Therefore, before a sex encounter or a naughty encounter as a couple, it is first necessary to discuss several points without taboos.
The first is to clearly establish your individual expectations, and to find out if your partner sees no harm in it. For example, you may want to have a threesome, or have sex in plain sight of other people. You may also be attracted to the prospect of your spouse being fucked by someone else. A woman may also want a different cock than her partner, want to be treated like a slut, or want to be a slut like in porn movies. For men, the fantasy may be to be ordered or manhandled by a dominatrix. In either case, it's together that you have to agree on the limits you don't want to cross once you're in the swinging club. You must also agree that finding other partners will not harm your love or the bond that unites you. This is a booty call and nothing more.
Then you must learn to choose with the utmost care the ideal sex place to get to know other sexual partners. It must be a place suitable for a sexual encounter or a naughty meeting in Taylorsville, where you can satisfy your desires in all discretion. For this, choose a swinger club in Taylorsville, UT or a more elitist club, depending on your preferences. Finally, when you are about to live this experience as a couple, you must keep in mind that you must not break the communication once inside the swingers club. Even if you meet a slutty woman or a hot man that you find sexy or to your liking, you must first make sure that your partner agrees. So don't hesitate to comment on everything you see, what you find interesting and what you find difficult to achieve.
Can we go to a sex club and be faithful in Taylorsville, UT?
The question is asked much more often than we think. In reality, it is important to know that the notion of fidelity varies depending on the couple. If the partners manage to have discussions on the erotic theme, including other people they find attractive, but without feeling jealous, then they will probably be willing to try the experience of sex life clubs together. In this case they both agree that their sexual intercourse in these adult clubs is in no way infidelity.
However, it happens that in a couple, only the woman or only the man may enjoy a short-lived relationship in a swinger club. The man wants to engage in different practices to change his sexuality. It can be an orgy, making love via a webcam with a stranger, meeting a cougar, etc.. If you are in such a situation, then you have the opportunity to talk about it with your spouse to explain your needs. If he gives his consent, whether or not he is present with you in the sex club in Taylorsville, UT, you can have peace of mind since it is not an infidelity. This would mean that in your couple, you manage to distinguish between being in love or in love, and having sex. This is a very mature way of looking at life that avoids jealousy in a swingers couple.
Common misconceptions about swingers in Taylorsville
Swinger in Taylorsville, Utah has actually existed for many centuries, but has never been perceived by society as an acceptable way of life. In fact, all we know about it is that it is frowned upon to be a cuckold, or worse, a wife swapping, because it is similar to a life of debauchery. However, it's far from being that simple, because despite all that is said about it, there are several rules that govern relationships in in Taylorsville, UT sex clubs. Of course, those who don't know this don't hesitate to express all kinds of prejudices like :
To be a swinger in Taylorsville, UT is to be exposed to sexually transmitted diseases: This is completely wrong, because sex is protected between swinging club members. Moreover, before organizing practices such as threesomes, self-respecting swingers clubs demand medical examinations from participants. Therefore, it is enough to choose a reliable club and to always protect oneself to be safe from STDs, even if one leads a swinging life.
To be swinger is to have a tendency for sado-masochistic practices: here too this is completely wrong, because there are many partner swapping couples in Taylorsville, UT who are not at all attracted by domination or other such practices. So you can be interested in threesome, melanism or whatever, without wanting to be submissive or submissive, domineering or dominated.
It is men who encourage their women to become swinger in Taylorsville, Utah: today women are more open-minded than before, or at least they now have the courage to express themselves freely. So you won't be surprised to discover that in many couples, it's women who suggest to their partner the idea of switching from the classic couple to the libertine one.
All swingers are bisexual in Taylorsville, UT: this is very wrong, because one may want to explore other positions of the kamasutra, live new experiences with other partners, without deviating from one's original sexual orientation.
To be libertine is necessarily to be unfaithful in Taylorsville: as we explained above, it is a false belief, because everything depends on each couple.
Some practices of swingers in Taylorsville, UT
When we talk about wife swapping in Taylorsville, we have to know that it actually gathers several practices that can be very different from each other. One of the most widespread is threesome. It is a practice that consists of making love with three people, and of course all partners must consent. The trio can be made up of a couple and a third person, or three single people. It all depends on the circumstances in which you meet in Taylorsville, UT. You also have the option to choose to fulfil this fantasy with two people of the same or different sex. That is, a man can choose to have a threesome with two other men, with two women, or with a man and a woman. The same is true when a naughty woman wants to attempt the threesome in Taylorsville, UT, she can choose between the gender of her partners, depending on her desires. Note that for a bi or straight couple, it is also possible to try this practice.
Apart from triolism, wife swapping can also consist in doing cuckold in Taylorsville, UT. This practice is quite particular, because the pleasure here consists in watching one's partner having sex with another person. That is to say, seeing another man inserting his dick into your wife's pussy can make you get a hard-on or even cum. Similarly, seeing a woman giving your husband fellatio or straddling his penis can give you some satisfaction. There is no real explanation for this, but it is a reality and many couples do it.
Side to side in Taylorsville is also a fetishism practice that is currently in vogue. As its name suggests, it consists of making love next to one or more other couples who are doing the same thing. It's a bit like voyeurism, except that instead of watching you do it, the spectators of your frolics are doing the same practice.
Finally, you can also try to participate in an orgy in Taylorsville, UT, alone or as a couple. It's an experience that will probably stay in your memory forever. This kind of practice is exactly what you need to boost your libido, whether you are a man or a woman. Imagine being able to make love with different partners, men and women, for several hours, without ever having enough because you will be spoilt for choice. A real arena full of hot cocks and pussies of all sizes and colours. Interested? Then don't hesitate to ask at your sex club in Taylorsville, Utah to find out about the conditions for participating in a threesome.
If you are a beginner in the field of swinging parties in Taylorsville, UT, the easiest way is to start with things that are easy for you to do. Then, if you feel comfortable in this environment, you can move up a gear and let your desires, however perverse they may be, express themselves.

An artist's depiction of Kepler-62e is shown in this NASA handout provided Nov 4, 2013. Kepler-62e is a super Earth-size planet in the habitable zone of a star smaller and cooler than the sun, located about 1,200 light-years from Earth in the constellation Lyra. [Photo/Agencies] |
WASHINGTON - Space is vast, but it may not be so lonely after all: A study finds the Milky Way is teeming with billions of planets that are about the size of Earth, orbit stars just like our sun, and exist in the Goldilocks zone - not too hot and not too cold for life.
Astronomers using NASA data have calculated for the first time that in our galaxy alone, there are at least 8.8 billion stars with Earth-size planets in the habitable temperature zone.
The study was published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
For perspective, that's more Earth-like planets than there are people on Earth.
As for what it says about the odds that there is life somewhere out there, it means "just in our Milky Way galaxy alone, that's 8.8 billion throws of the biological dice," said study co-author Geoff Marcy, a longtime planet hunter from the University of California at Berkeley.
The next step, scientists say, is to look for atmospheres on these planets with powerful space telescopes that have yet to be launched. That would yield further clues to whether any of these planets do, in fact, harbor life.
The findings also raise a blaring question, Marcy said: If we aren't alone, why is "there a deafening silence in our Milky Way galaxy from advanced civilizations?"
In the Milky Way, about 1 in 5 stars that are like our sun in size, color and age have planets that are roughly Earth's size and are in the habitable zone where life-crucial water can be liquid, according to intricate calculations based on four years of observations from NASA's now-crippled Kepler telescope.
If people on Earth could only travel in deep space, "you'd probably see a lot of traffic jams," Bill Borucki, NASA's chief Kepler scientist, joked Monday.
The Kepler telescope peered at 42,000 stars, examining just a tiny slice of our galaxy to see how many planets like Earth are out there. Scientists then extrapolated that figure to the rest of the galaxy, which has hundreds of billions of stars.
For the first time, scientists calculated - not estimated - what percent of stars that are just like our sun have planets similar to Earth: 22 percent, with a margin of error of plus or minus 8 percentage points.
Kepler scientist Natalie Batalha said there is still more data to pore over before this can be considered a final figure.
There are about 200 billion stars in our galaxy, with 40 billion of them like our sun, Marcy said. One of his co-authors put the number of sun-like stars closer to 50 billion, meaning there would be at least 11 billion planets like ours.
Based on the 1-in-5 estimate, the closest Earth-size planet that is in the habitable temperature zone and circles a sun-like star is probably within 70 trillion miles (113 trillion kilometers)of Earth, Marcy said.
And the 8.8 billion Earth-size planets figure is only a start. That's because scientists were looking only at sun-like stars, which are not the most common stars.
An earlier study found that 15 percent of the more common red dwarf stars have Earth-size planets that are close-in enough to be in the not-too-hot, not-too-cold Goldilocks Zone.
Put those together and that's probably 40 billion right-size, right-place planets, Marcy said.
And that's just our galaxy. There are billions of other galaxies.
Scientists at a Kepler science conference Monday said they have found 833 new candidate planets with the space telescope, bringing the total of planets they've spotted to 3,538, but most aren't candidates for life.
Kepler has identified only 10 planets that are about Earth's size circling sun-like stars and are in the habitable zone, including one called Kepler 69-c.
Because there are probably hundreds of planets missed for every one found, the study did intricate extrapolations to come up with the 22 percent figure - a calculation that outside scientists say is fair.
"Everything they've done looks legitimate," said Sara Seager, an astronomer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

We also offer various types of supplemental insurance plans, which are needed when life's unexpected health issues come up. Having this type of insurance can save you thousands of dollars in medical bills. Our experienced staff of insurance agents will help you choose the plan that will work for your current situation, as well as help you plan for unexpected problems that may occur in the future. See the information below to read more about the types of supplemental insurance we have available. Supplemental coverage options also referred to as ancillary benefits, are often overlooked, but are an affordable health insurance option for many individuals and families. We offer a wide range of products that can supply extra protection on top of your traditional medical plan.
We provide the following types of supplemental insurance protection:
What is hospital indemnity insurance?
Hospital indemnity insurance is a type of plan that pays a set amount – per day, per week, per month, or per visit – if you're confined in a hospital. The Hospital Plan is a hospital indemnity insurance plan.
How is the Hospital Plan different from a traditional medical plan?
Medical insurance reimburses the insured, or provider, for covered and approved medical services, procedures, equipment, and prescription drugs. The Hospital Plan pays a lump-sum payment directly to the insured for a covered hospital confinement, outpatient surgery, and emergency injury or sickness.
How is a Cancer Plan different from a traditional medical plan?
Medical insurance reimburses the insured, or provider, for covered and approved medical services, procedures, equipment, and prescription drugs. The Cancer Plan pays an immediate one-time, lump-sum payment directly to the insured upon initial diagnosis of covered cancer. The cancer insurance policy benefit can be used for any purpose you choose.
Accident Insurance helps you handle the medical and out-of-pocket costs that add up after an accidental injury. This includes emergency treatment, hospital stays and medical exams, and other expenses you may face, such as transportation and lodging needs.

Self-employed and working from home? Some of the costs of the home can be claimed against tax and, in some cases, these costs may be considerable. We set out types of costs that may be relieved here but at Mayor Cuttle & Co, we can advise on maximising the relief due to you if you live in the Chelmsford area.
Working from home may be an attractive option for some. Here we consider the tax implications of homeworking arrangements for the self-employed.
The tax rules differ considerably depending on whether you are self-employed, as a sole trader or partner, or whether you are an employee, even if that is as an employee of your own company. One way or the other though, if you want to maximise the tax position, it is essential to keep good records. If not, HMRC may seek to rectify the tax position several years down the line. This can lead to unexpected bills including several years' worth of tax, interest and penalties.
This factsheet focuses on the position of the self-employed.
The self-employed pay tax on the profits that the business makes or their share of those profits. So, the critical issue is to ensure that costs incurred can be set against that profit. For day to day overheads, those costs generally have to be incurred 'wholly and exclusively' for the purposes of the trade to be tax deductible. What does this really mean in practice? Well, HMRC has issued a lot of guidance on the matter which is summarised below.
If the self-employed carry on some of their business from home, then some tax relief may be available. HMRC accepts that even if the business is carried on elsewhere, a deduction for part of the household expenses is still acceptable provided that there are times when part of the home is used solely for business purposes. To quote:
'If there is only minor use, for example writing up the business records at home, you may accept a reasonable estimate without detailed enquiry.'
So that there is no confusion, wholly and exclusively does not mean that business expenditure has to be separately billed or that part of the home must be permanently used for business purposes. However, it does mean that when part of the home is being used for the business then that is the sole use for that part at that time.
HMRC accepts that costs can be apportioned but on what basis? Well, if a small amount is being claimed then HMRC will usually not be too interested. In fact, HMRC seems to accept that an estimate of a few pounds a week is acceptable. However, if more is to be claimed then HMRC suggests that the following factors are considered:
Generally, HMRC will accept a reasonable proportion of costs such as council tax, mortgage interest, insurance, water rates, general repairs and rent, as well as cleaning, heat and light and metered water.
Other allowable costs may include the cost of business calls on the home telephone and a proportion of the line rental, in addition to expenditure on internet connections to the extent that the connection is used for business purposes.
As already mentioned, if there is a small amount of work done at home, a nominal weekly figure is usually fine but for substantial claims a more scientific method may be needed.
Andrew works from home and has no other business premises. He uses a spare room from 9am to 1pm and then from 2pm until 6pm. The rest of the time it is used by the family. The room represents about 10% of the total area of the house.
The costs including cleaning, insurance, council tax and mortgage interest are about £8,000. 10% = £800 and 8/24 of the use by time is for business, so the claim could be £267.
Electricity costs total £1,500, so 10% is £150 of which 8/24 = £50.
In addition, a reasonable proportion of other costs such as telephone and broadband costs would be acceptable.
The key to Andrew's claim will be that he keeps the records to prove the figures and proportions used.
For self-employed businesses, the depreciation of assets is covered by a set of tax reliefs known as capital allowances. For equipment at home, such as a laptop, desk, chair, etc, capital allowances may be available on the business proportion (based on estimated business usage) of those assets. So, if Andrew uses his laptop solely for business, the whole cost will be within the capital allowances rules.
Another consequence of working from home is the potential impact on travel costs. The cost of travelling from home to the place of business or operations is generally disallowed, as it represents the personal choice of where to live. The fact that the individual may sometimes work at home is irrelevant.
Where an individual conducts office work for their trade does not by itself determine their place of business, so although many may be able to claim tax relief for the costs of working from home, far fewer will be able to claim travel costs of going to and from their home office.
Of course, this principle presupposes that there is a business or operational 'base' elsewhere from which the trade is run. Normally, the cost of travel between the business base and other places where work is carried on will be an allowable expense, while the cost of travel between the taxpayer's home and the business base will not be allowable.
However, where there are no separate business premises away from the home, travel costs to visit clients should be fully allowable. The crux of the matter is where the business is really run from.
And finally...
Capital gains tax contains a tax exemption for the sale of an individual's private home, known as principal private residence relief (PPR). Where part of the dwelling is used exclusively for business purposes, PPR relief will not apply to the business proportion of the gain. However, HMRC makes clear in their guidance that 'occasional and very minor' business use is ignored.
As you can see, all things are possible but the key is to be clear about the rules, keep good records and be sensible about how much to claim.
If you would like any help about obtaining tax relief on the costs of homeworking or other expenses, please do contact us at Mayor Cuttle & Co.

Rejection and How to Handle It
Life is about going for things. And when we do, rejection is always a possibility.
Big or Small, Rejection Affects Us All
Rejection doesn't have to be about the big stuff like not getting into your top college, not making the team, or not getting asked to prom. Everyday situations can lead to feelings of rejection, too, like if your joke didn't get a laugh, if no one remembered to save you a seat at the lunch table, or if the person you really like talks to everyone but you.
Feeling rejected is the opposite of feeling accepted. But being rejected (and we all will be at times) doesn't mean someone isn't liked, valued, or important. It just means that one time, in one situation, with one person, things didn't work out.
Rejection hurts. But it's impossible to avoid it altogether. In fact, you don't want to: People who become too afraid of rejection might hold back from going after something they want. Sure, they avoid rejection, but they're also 100% guaranteed to miss out on what they want but won't try for.
How to Cope
The better we get at dealing with rejection, the less it affects us. So how can you build that ability to cope?
Here are some ideas:
Be Honest
Coping well with rejection involves working with two things: how you feel and what you think.
Let's start with feelings: If you get rejected, acknowledge it to yourself. Don't try to brush off the hurt or pretend it's not painful. Instead of thinking "I shouldn't feel this way," think about how normal it is to feel like you do, given your situation.
Notice how intense your feelings are. Did this rejection upset you a lot? Or just a little? Cry if you want to — it's a natural way to release emotion.
Now, move on to name what you're feeling. For example: "I feel really disappointed that I didn't get chosen for the school play. I wanted it so badly, and I tried so hard. I feel left out because my friends made it and I didn't."
If you want, tell someone else what happened and how you feel about it. Pick someone who will listen and be supportive.
Telling someone else can help for two reasons:
- It can be reassuring to know that someone understands what you're going through and how it feels.
- It forces you to put your feelings into words.
Whether you decide to share your feelings with someone else or simply think about them yourself, acknowledging feelings can help you move beyond painful emotions.
Be Positive
When you're dealing with a painful emotion like rejection, it's easy to get caught up in the bad feeling. But dwelling on the negative stuff can feel like living the experience over and over again. Not only does it keep hurting, it becomes harder to get past the rejection.
So admit how you feel but don't dwell on it. Avoid talking or thinking about it nonstop. Why? Negative thinking influences our expectations and how we act. Getting stuck in a negative outlook might even bring about more rejection. It certainly doesn't inspire a person to try again.
Examine Your Thought Soundtrack
Now on to what you think: Consider how you're explaining the rejection to yourself. Are you being too hard on yourself? It's natural to wonder, "Why did this happen?" When you give yourself an explanation, be careful to stick to the facts.
Tell yourself: "I got turned down for prom because the person didn't want to go with me." Don't tell yourself: "I got turned down because I'm not attractive" or "I'm such a loser." These aren't facts. They're imagining a reason, reading too much into a situation. If put-down thoughts like these start creeping into your mind, shut them down.
Self-blaming or put-down thinking can exaggerate our faults and lead us to believe stuff about ourselves that simply isn't true. This kind of thinking crowds out hope and a belief in ourselves — the very things we need to get past feeling bad and want to try again.
If you start blaming yourself for the rejection or put yourself down, you can start believing you'll always be rejected. Thoughts like, "I'll never get a date" or "No one will ever like me" amplify a simple rejection to disaster level. Rejection can hurt a lot and can be terribly disappointing, but it's not the end of the world.
Keep Things in Perspective
Tell yourself: "OK, so I got rejected this time. Maybe next time, I'll get a 'yes'" or "Oh, well. This is what happened. I don't like it. It's not how I wanted things to work out. But everyone gets rejected — and I can try again."
Think about what you're good at and what's good about you. Remember times when you've been accepted, when you made the cut, when someone told you "yes." Think of all the people who like you and support you.
Give yourself credit for trying. You took a risk — good for you. Remind yourself that you can handle the rejection. Even though you were turned down now, there will be another opportunity, another time. Get philosophical: Sometimes things happen for reasons we don't always understand.
Use Rejection to Your Advantage
A rejection is a chance to consider if there are things we can work on. It's OK to think about whether there's room for improvement or if your goals were higher than your skills.
If your skills weren't strong enough this time, maybe you need to work on your game, your studies, your interview technique, or whatever it takes to improve your chances of getting accepted next time. Use the rejection as an opportunity for self-improvement.
Sometimes a rejection is a harsh reality check. But if you approach it right, it could help nudge you in a direction that turns out to be the perfect fit for your talents, personality, and all the really great things that make you who you are.

According to AAPD (American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry) guidelines, infants should initially visit the pediatric dentist around the time of their first birthday. First visits can be stressful for parents, especially for parents who have dental phobias themselves.
It is imperative for parents to continually communicate positive messages about dental visits (especially the first one), and to help the child feel as happy as possible about visiting the dentist.
How can I prepare for my child's first dental visit?
Pediatric dentists are required to undergo extensive training in child psychology. Their dental offices are generally colorful, child-friendly, and boast a selection of games, toys, and educational tools. Pediatric dentists (and all dental staff) aim to make the child feel as welcome as possible during all visits.
There are several things parents can do to make the first visit enjoyable. Some helpful tips are listed below:
Take another adult along for the visit – Sometimes infants become fussy when having their mouths examined. Having another adult along to soothe the infant allows the parent to ask questions and to attend to any advice the dentist may have.
Leave other children at home – Other children can distract the parent and cause the infant to fuss. Leaving other children at home (when possible) makes the first visit less stressful for all concerned.
Avoid threatening language – Pediatric dentists and staff are trained to avoid the use of threatening language, like drills, needles, injections, and bleeding. It is imperative for parents to use positive language when speaking about dental treatment with their child.
Provide positive explanations – It is important to explain the purposes of the dental visit in a positive way. Explaining that the dentist "helps to keep teeth healthy" is far better than explaining that the dentist "is checking for tooth decay, and may have to drill the tooth if decay is found."
Explain what will happen – Anxiety can be vastly reduced if the child knows what to expect. Age-appropriate books about visiting the dentist can be very helpful in making the visit seem fun. Here is a list of parent and dentist-approved books:
What will happen during the first visit?
There are several goals for the first dental visit. First, the pediatric dentist and the child need to get properly acquainted. Second, the dentist needs to monitor tooth and jaw development to get an idea of the child's overall health history. Third, the dentist needs to evaluate the health of the existing teeth and gums. Finally, the dentist aims to answer questions and advise parents on how to implement a good oral care regimen.
The following sequence of events is typical of an initial "well baby checkup":
If you have questions or concerns about your child's first dental visit, please contact the pediatric dentist.

Acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG)
This is trench mouth, a progressive painful infection with ulceration, swelling and sloughing off of dead tissue from the mouth and throat due to the spread of infection from the gums. Certain germs (including fusiform bacteria and spirochetes) have been thought to be involved, but the full story behind this long-known disease is still not clear. This condition is also called Vincent's angina after the French physician Henri Vincent (1862-1950). The word "angina" comes from the Latin "angere" meaning "to choke or throttle." As with most poorly understood diseases, Vincent's angina goes by many other names including acute membranous gingivitis, fusospirillary gingivitis, fusospirillosis, fusospirochetal gingivitis, necrotizing gingivitis, phagedenic gingivitis, ulcerative gingivitis, Vincent's gingivitis, Vincent's infection, and Vincent's stomatitis.

It's WEEKENDS on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Guy Raz.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Hello, St. Pete.
RAZ: President Obama campaigning today in St. Petersburg, Florida, two days after accepting his party's nomination for president...
OBAMA: I am fired up.
RAZ: ...where his new stump speech emphasizes job creation.
OBAMA: We can keep giving more tax breaks to companies that are shipping jobs overseas just like the other side is arguing for.
OBAMA: Or we can start rewarding companies that open new plants and train new workers and create new jobs right here in Florida.
RAZ: His Republican rival, Mitt Romney, is hammering away as well, asking the question, are you better off today than you were when President Obama entered the White House? That's our cover story today. And we begin with the latest from NPR's Don Gonyea, who is traveling with the president and joins me from Kissimmee in Florida.
Don, Florida, obviously, an important state for the president if he hopes to be re-elected. I'm assuming, given the elderly population in that state, he talked a lot about Medicare today.
DON GONYEA, BYLINE: He absolutely did. In addition to talking about jobs in that speech this morning in the Tampa area, in St. Pete, in addition to kind of giving us the stump speech version of his acceptance speech from the convention the other night, he talked about Medicare. Give a listen.
OBAMA: And by the way, Florida, you should know I will never turn Medicare into a voucher system.
OBAMA: No American should have to spend their golden years at the mercy of insurance companies. They should retire with the dignity and the respect and the care that they have earned.
GONYEA: And it is on that issue, really, that the battle will be engaged in Florida. And we will see the Romney campaign hitting this state hard as well, accusing the president of cutting Medicare. The charges are going to go back and forth, but it is something that the president certainly wanted to set the record straight on at that event, and he will at every event.
RAZ: Don, let's turn to the Romney campaign. They have launched a new Spanish language TV ad. Take a listen.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: (Foreign language spoken)
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: (Foreign language spoken)
RAZ: OK, that features Latino voters saying, you know, I voted for Obama four years ago, I believed in what he said. And then they're expressing regret over voting for him. Could that message play well in, say, Florida or even other battleground states like Virginia and Ohio?
GONYEA: Well, the Romney campaign is certainly hoping that it is, but the president enjoys a huge advantage in the Hispanic and Latino vote. When the Obama administration talks about immigration and some other topics that are near and dear to those voters, they feel that it will more than offset any efforts like this from the Romney campaign.
I can tell you, Guy, too, that the Romney campaign announced that it is launching a huge ad blitz in eight states starting today. You can say them with me: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia. Again, it shows where everybody's focused.
RAZ: That's NPR's Don Gonyea in Kissimmee, Florida, where he's traveling with the president. Don, thanks so much.
GONYEA: Thank you.
RAZ: Here's one more case the president made in Florida today.
OBAMA: I won't pretend the path I'm offering is quick or is - or that it's going to be easy. I never have. Sometimes I ask people to go back to 2008 and look at what I said. I said this was going to take some time because these problems have been building up for a long time.
RAZ: Now that was a coded response to the Republican attack asking the question whether we're better off than we were before Mr. Obama became president.
MITT ROMNEY: This president can tell us it was someone else's fault. This president can tell us that the next four years will get it right. But this president cannot tell us that you're better off today than when he took office.
RAZ: It's a simple and effective question deployed most notably by Ronald Reagan in 1980.
PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN: Next Tuesday, all of you will go to the polls, will stand there in the polling place and make a decision. I think when you make that decision, it might be well if you would ask yourself: Are you better off than you were four years ago?
RAZ: Now, it worked for Reagan. Most Americans, of course, said, no, they weren't. This time around, the answer might be a little more complicated. So to help us, I'm joined by Dean Baker. He is the co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research here in Washington. Dean, welcome to the program.
DEAN BAKER: Thanks for having me on.
RAZ: Also with us is Douglas Holtz-Eakin, former director of the Congressional Budget Office. He also served as an economic adviser to the McCain presidential campaign in 2008. Doug, welcome to the program to you.
DOUGLAS HOLTZ-EAKIN: Pleasure to be here. Thank you.
RAZ: Dean Baker, let's start with you. This question, are we better off than we were four years ago, you actually recently argued that this is the wrong question to ask.
BAKER: Yeah. Well, I think it's kind of a bizarre question. I mean, let's keep in mind the economy was in a free fall at that point. I mean, we're losing 700,000 jobs a month. We had President Bush talking about how we're facing the second Great Depression. His Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson was saying the same thing, as was Ben Bernanke. So what exactly are we trying to compare it to? The economy was in a free fall. We're not now. We're better off that way. Are we better off than before the free fall? Well, probably not.
RAZ: Douglas Holtz-Eakin, in January, February of 2009, the unemployment was 7.8 percent. Now, it is 8.1 percent. You would argue we're worse off now.
HOLTZ-EAKIN: I think the reason people ask the question is that correctly or otherwise, presidents get credit and blame for what happens on their watch. And this is a way to ask the question: Are we happy with the economic stewardship of this administration? I, for one, would say we can do better than we have, the sustained high unemployment, the fall in the median income of Americans by $4,000. There's a litany of things where, where we are today is not what it could have been.
RAZ: The president, of course, has argued that you can't measure his record starting in January or February of 2009, but as Douglas Holtz-Eakin has argued, presidents are accountable for the economies that they oversee. So why can't we start at that point?
BAKER: Well, again, I was making this January, February point. Our survey for the unemployment rate is done January 12th. Well, President Obama wasn't sitting in office till January 21st. So maybe we should take February 12th. You know, again, I'm not being serious with that. I'm just pointing out how silly that is. And I think the question - and I'd hope Doug would agree with me - is, what would you have done better? It's kind of silly to say, OK, the house was on fire, you know, you sprayed all the water on it, are we better off now that the fire's out than before the fire got started? Well, probably not.
RAZ: Douglas?
HOLTZ-EAKIN: I think it's important in defense of the president, not a position I'm usually in, but he acted because we had to act. The real issue is, when does he switch from emergency firefighting to actually doing things to have sustained growth in the economy? In my view, he never made that switch, and that's the flaw.
RAZ: Well, what should he have done, as Dean Baker asked?
HOLTZ-EAKIN: Well, I think he should have stopped thinking that we have a stimulus problem where, you know, the economy's falling, you have to do something. Then you have to focus on economic growth. You don't go do a health care law - $500 billion in new taxes, sets up a trillion dollars in new spending. You don't sit on trade agreements when they could have been implemented quite quickly. You don't unleash the EPA on a regulatory jihad in the interest of other policy objectives. A strategy change was necessary - it never happened.
RAZ: Dean Baker, why didn't that strategy change happen?
BAKER: Well, I don't think we needed that strategy change. I think the big problem was we had a collapse of a housing bubble. That destroyed somewhere between 1.2 to 1.5 trillion in annual demand - that's annual. Now, we had a stimulus that's billed as 700 or $800 billion. That was over a two- to three-year period. In fact, some of that's still being spent out today; it'll be spent out over this decade.
In terms of annual demand - 2009 and 2010 - that was about 300 billion. Three hundred billion is not enough to replace 1.2 to 1.5 trillion in demand. That's basic arithmetic. And the points Doug's talking about, I don't think you're going to find a lot of businesses who could tell you with a straight face they would have been hiring workers, they would have been investing left and right, but they're worried come 2014 they might have to pay a fine or pay health care for their workers.
But I would say President Obama had to pull teeth to get that stimulus bill through. We need 60 votes in the Senate. We know that now. That wasn't always the case. You need 60 votes. He had to whittle away much of that stimulus in order to get anything through Congress. And some of what he whittled away was support for public programs that would have created more jobs.
HOLTZ-EAKIN: He had 60 votes in the Senate. He had 60 votes in the Senate in 2009. He had it right up to the 2010 election. That's how they did the Dodd-Frank. I mean, the Affordable Care Act went through, and it was only the Scott Brown special election that changed that dynamic. So I don't have a lot of sympathy for the view that he had to work with Republicans because, in fact, the majority of the time, we had mixed government. And so it's not fair for, I think, the defenders of the president to uniformly blame Republicans. It's the president's job to work with the Congress.
RAZ: Douglas Holtz-Eakin, let me ask you: What about this argument that the Obama administration's been making that there's no way they could have accomplished what they wanted to in three and a half years, that they are in the middle of this process?
HOLTZ-EAKIN: Well, I see the constraints as being political. I mean, we got out of the Great Depression by spending a ton of money. World War II was our stimulus program. If we had spent the same amount of money building up roads, building up the infrastructure for the country, we could have gotten out of the Great Depression in 1931 rather than 1941.
BAKER: I would say the same thing was true today. Now, could President Obama have gotten that politically? Could he have gone to Congress and go here's my $2 trillion stimulus program and gotten that through? Probably not, you know? But I think there are things that, at least in principle, could have been done to get the unemployment rate down to a more reasonable level by this date, but they simply weren't possible politically.
RAZ: So with the time we have left, what's the best case you would make for the re-election of Barack Obama?
BAKER: Well, I think the question is, where are we going to be going forward? And as best I could tell, I think Mitt Romney is basically saying let's do more tax cuts and deregulation, and somehow it's going to work this time. With President Obama, I think the idea is he's going to try to have more spending in the public sector, more spending in infrastructure, education, and that's going to have short-term and long-term benefits. I think that's the best path.
RAZ: Douglas Holtz-Eakin, the best case for putting a new face in the White House?
HOLTZ-EAKIN: Certainly, I don't think the president is allowed to say I should have been elected for eight years. These are four-year terms - have an agenda that fits in four years. And the notion that somehow tax cuts and deregulation were at the roots of the financial crisis is just wrong. The Financial Crisis Commission on which I sat never fingered tax cuts. Even though we didn't agree on a lot of things, uniformly, that wasn't the problem.
And the deregulation of the Bush administration was Sarbanes-Oxley, which is one of the most regulatory bills in history.
RAZ: Came out of the Enron scandal.
HOLTZ-EAKIN: Yeah. It's just - so that's just a misrepresentation of what went on. Governor Romney is promising to focus on growth - that's important - and to undertake a comprehensive tax and entitlement reform, which would control the debt, which is a big threat to growth. I think there's no question about that.
I think that's the right strategy because it has long-run benefits and short-run impacts, and it's the strategy I would have thought President Obama would have pivoted to years ago.
RAZ: That's Douglas Holtz-Eakin, former director of the Congressional Budget Office and an aide to the McCain presidential campaign. Douglas Holtz-Eakin, thank you.
HOLTZ-EAKIN: Thank you.
RAZ: Thanks also to Dean Baker, the co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research here in Washington. Dean, thanks.
BAKER: Thanks for having me on. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
