We review here some recent developments in the field of insertional mutagenesis in zebrafish. We highlight the advantages and limitations of the rich body of retroviral methodologies, and we focus on the mechanisms and concepts of new transposon-based mutagenesis approaches under development, including prospects for conditional 'gene trapping' and 'gene breaking' approaches.
The human genome contains over 20,000 predicted genes as well as an array of conserved noncoding genetic information [1], which will have to be functionally validated employing a variety of model systems. Traditional vertebrate model systems such as mouse have now been complemented by an array of genetically tractable organisms, including rat, the diploid frog Xenopus tropicalis, and zebrafish (Danio rerio).
The mouse has been the traditional 'Cadillac' of vertebrate models because of its mammalian nature, its rapid breeding time, and the extensive molecular genetic tools that have been developed for use in this animal. In addition, the unique development of embryonic stem (ES) cells for targeted genetic modification using homologous recombination, along with new recombineering techniques, now allow one to manipulate fully the genome of this organism [2]. Insertional methods for genetic modification and gene disruption have been developed extensively for this organism, largely focused on the advantages of working with ES cells in vitro prior to the necessary and laborious whole organism studies. The latter work makes the mouse a relatively expensive and complex model organism to use, and this limitation makes in vivo genome-wide genetic approaches impractical in many important scientific scenarios. To address this need, several vertebrate systems complementary to those of the mouse have been developed, as illustrated by the zebrafish Danio rerio. It is noteworthy that the insertional approaches now being deployed for the latter system would be especially appropriate methodology for genome modification of other important model vertebrates that lack ES cells, such as rat and pig.
Advantages of the zebrafish include its external fertilization, high fecundity, rapid development, production of optically clear embryos, and relatively short generation time for a vertebrate [3]. These qualities, in addition to the high degree of genetic conservation [4-6] reflected in the developmental gene pathways and regulatory mechanism, contribute to its emergence as a model for obtaining insights into fundamental human physiology. Current established forward genetic tools for the zebrafish include chemical (N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea [ENU]; for review [7]) and insertional (retroviral [8-11]) mutagens. Reverse genetic methods include morpholino anti-sense oligonucleotides [12] and targeted lesion detection, called TILLING (targeting-induced local lesions in genomes) [13].
Chemical mutagenesis using ENU has been key to establishing the zebrafish as a forward genetic model system. ENU produces random point mutations in the germline, and these single base pair changes result in a high frequency of mutant phenotypes (for review [7]). Multiple large-scale chemical mutagenesis screens using ENU [14,15] have successfully produced and characterized an impressive collection of zebrafish mutants that affect various biological processes. In spite of the high efficiency in generation of point mutations, the major limitation in this approach is the identification of genes whose mutations are responsible for the particular phenotype [16]; the identities of the mutated genes have been reported for about 154 chemically induced mutations out of approximately 1,740 mutants recovered from the two large-scale chemical mutagenesis screens [17].
An alternative approach is insertional mutagenesis [18], in which an exogenous DNA serves as a mutagen and also functions as a molecular tag for identifying the gene whose disruption causes the phenotype. One effective mutagen for zebrafish is the pseudotyped retrovirus, which is composed of a genome based on the Moloney murine leukemia virus and the envelope glycoprotein of the vesicular somatitis virus [8,19]. Injection of this retrovirus into 1,000-cell to 2,000-cell stage zebrafish embryos [19] results in chimeric embryos in which different cells have integrations of the viral sequences in different random sites in the genome. By passing these insertions through the germline and inbreeding them, one finds that about 1 in 80 of such insertions result in mutant phenotypes. This method has been used successfully in zebrafish in a large-scale forward genetic screen, identifying more than 500 mutations and about 350 loci; the insertional nature of the mutagen facilitated the rapid molecular characterization of the genetic loci, with 335 cloned to date [8-11]. One major challenge to the field has been the inability to develop a similarly mutagenic, high-titer retrovirus with robust expression [17,20,21]; this limitation has hindered the generation of expression based mutagenic retroviral vectors for the zebrafish.
Recent new initiatives in zebrafish include enhancer [21-24] and gene trapping [25] approaches. Enhancer trapping has been an integral part of the Drosophila genome project [26], suggesting that this and related methodologies should provide additional means for deciphering gene function in zebrafish. However, enhancer trapping, unlike gene trapping, is not expected to enrich for mutations because inserts need not be in genes nor disrupt them. Indeed, in zebrafish no enhancer or gene trap vectors have yet yielded any phenotypic mutants [22,23,25,27,28].
To address the limitations of mutagenicity found in enhancer trapping and related approaches, in one recent study [29] the investigators used a modified vector dubbed the 'gene break', named after a human insertional mutation mechanism [30]. This approach confers new capabilities upon insertional vectors in zebrafish; when integrated into an intron this cassette can direct all or nearly all splicing into the reporter construct and thereby quantitatively terminate transcription of the endogenous gene. This vector could be used in zebrafish in vivo for genome-wide forward and reverse genetic applications. In this review we compare published zebrafish insertional mutagenesis strategies. In addition, we discuss how new tools can be developed to complement those developed in mouse for conditional mutagenesis and chromosomal engineering applications to untap the genome-wide screening potential found in the zebrafish model system.
Insertional mutagenesis: history and perspective
Insertional mutagenesis in vertebrates has a rich past using many vectors and approaches. The most prominent tool for delivering DNA as a mutagen is based on an engineered viral vector. Newer methods include the use of transposons (see below) and other methodologies restricted to mouse ES cells that harness those cells' uniquely high (in vertebrates) activity homologous recombination machinery (such as MICER and other tools; for review [2]). This review focuses on methods of general interest to the broader vertebrate genetics community and is based on the extensive literature with viruses, while also providing a trajectory for the next generation of transposon-based vectors, especially those in active use in zebrafish.
One key issue for all insertional methods is the mechanism of mutagenicity. Insertion of DNA into most locations on a vertebrate genome has little or no effect on any gene or gene product. However, and regardless of vector deployed, random insertion of DNA into a genome will, at a modest frequency, result in the disruption of an exon (Figure 1a). The vector independent potential consequences on the genetic locus of such an insertion event are many. First, the insertion may prematurely end the coding region by introducing a premature stop codon, truncating the resulting protein product (Figure 1a). Other consequences can manifest at the RNA level, resulting in a destabilization of the transcript such as through nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

A nonintegrated vector is also shown above, with integrated vector below. Transcriptional start sites are shown as an arrow above each diagram. (a) Integration of DNA into a coding exon can mutate the locus, resulting in a truncated gene product.

Based on 3' exon or poly(A) trapping methods, this approach uses two components: a transcriptional termination cassette to truncate the integrated locus and a separate 3' exon trap gene finding cassette. See text for details. pA, polyadenlyation signal; SA, splice acceptor; SD, splice donor.
The ability of a vector to cause exon disruption is a function of many different variables, including the frequency of exons encoded by the genome, the insertion site bias (or lack thereof) inherent in the vector, and the availability of such sequences to insertion by the mutagen. As exons tend to encode only 1% to 2% of most vertebrate genomes [1], the basal rate of inducing genetic modification by exon disruption is typically very low. Strategies for further increasing the rate of gene inhibition over this basal mechanism, often using vectors in which mutagenic insertions can be enriched by selection, as well as conditional allele generation strategies, are described below.
Retroviral insertional mutagen in zebrafish
The most extensively studied insertional mutagen to date in zebrafish is the pseudotyped retrovirus [8-11,31,32]. These retroviral vectors have been used to molecularly characterize more mutations to date in zebrafish than all other methods combined [17]. This tool is being further deployed in a reverse genetic approach by Znomics, Inc. (Portland, OR, USA) [33], a project in which tens of thousands of insertions are being mapped to the genome and are individually recoverable through cryopreserved sperm.
Retroviruses appear to cause mutations in zebrafish by several major mechanisms, including exon disruption (Figure 1a) and gene silencing caused by insertion into an intron (Figure 1b). Nearly 30% of mutagenic insertions recovered from a large-scale mutagenesis screen were in exons, although about half of these are in 5' untranslated regions [32]. In all cases examined, such insertions lead to a complete loss of wild-type gene product [11] (Amsterdam A, unpublished observations). Most of the other 70% of mutagenic insertions are in introns (with the last few in promoters). In part because of a preference of Maloney-based viruses to insert near to the 5' end of genes [34,35], most of these insertions are in the first intron. For reasons that are not clear, these insertions usually result in the reduction or complete abrogation of endogenous RNA expression [11] (Amsterdam A, unpublished observations). Intronic insertions can also lead to aberrant splicing, resulting in skipped exons and either frameshift mutations or internally truncated gene products [36-38]. Another way in which intronic insertions can be mutagenic is illustrated by one of the viruses used in this screen employing a 'splice-in, splice-out' gene trap [39], which causes a frameshift in the subsequent exon. Although mRNAs containing this trapped exon are found only in a modest subset of the cases in which the virus has inserted into an intron in the correct orientation to be utilized, this may be due either to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay or to general loss of gene expression, as is seen in other intronic insertions. For this gene trap virus, but not for a virus that lacks the gene trap, there is a bias toward the trap orientation among mutagenic insertions that have landed in introns past the ATG (Amsterdam A, unpublished observations), which is consistent with the trap contributing to mutagenicity of this virus, even in cases in which trap containing messages are not observed.
Gene trapping: tapping the rich history of insertional mutagens in mouse embryonic stem cells
The genetics of the murine system has been revolutionized by in vitro ES cell culture, which allows one to modify and confirm the resulting genetic changes induced in these totipotent cells prior to the laborious and slow downstream in vivo studies. Many approaches to the genetic modification of ES cells have been deployed, including the addition of DNA by electroporation, viruses, and transposons. For example, a recent method for insertional mutagenesis in mice using gene trap transposons has recently been reported [40]. For the sake of simplicity, here we highlight the body of work done largely using retroviral vectors (extensive reviews of this topic are provided elsewhere [2,41]).
One major distinguishing feature of insertional mutagenesis in ES cells described here from that of the retroviral in vivo work in zebrafish is the fundamental requirement for expression-compliant modifications; in each case, there is a selection process employed to distinguish modified from unmodified cells in vitro. ES cell technology offers the ability to conduct genome-wide analyses through clonal selection, rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) analyses, and ES cell cryopreservation. The major bottleneck in mouse genomics is the significant investment in resources required to study even a single gene in vivo in this model system.
One key method pioneered in ES cells uses an expression-based approach called promoter or 5' gene trapping (Figure 1c) [2,41]. Five prime gene traps combine the potential of highly efficient mutagenesis with the ease with which the mutant loci can be cloned. Five prime gene trap vectors typically contain a splice acceptor immediately upstream of a promoterless reporter used for ES cell selection (such as βgeo). Integration of the gene trap vector in a promoter, exon, or intron of transcriptionally active loci can generate a fusion transcript between the upstream coding sequence and the reporter (Figure 1c). With a high efficiency splice acceptor and poly(A) signal serving as an artificial 3' terminal exon, this trap can disrupt the expression of the trapped locus by inducing truncation of the 'hijacked' transcript [2,41-44]. The fusion transcripts generated by gene trap integration also serves as templates for identification and cloning of the disrupted gene, using a polymerase chain reaction based technique called 5' RACE. One key mutagenicity mechanism in nearly all gene trapping methods is the ability to truncate transcription at the point of insertion, which is achieved by the inclusion of a high quality transcriptional termination cassette. Without such a module, splicing around the trap can readily occur, thus resulting in an insertion without effectively knocking out function at the insertion locus.
Limitations of this basic method include the requirement for endogenous expression of the locus in ES cells. This vector system can be used to help identify endogenous, tissue-specific expression, but only after differentiation of the ES cells in vitro or after the generation of the transgenic animal from these modified ES cells. Furthermore, because the trap vector insertion can occur in any one of the three reading frames, only one-third of the loci that are in the correct reading frame to yield a functional reporter fusion protein will be identified using this method.
A rich array of modified gene traps have now been generated to help address some of these and other limitations of the original gene trap design for use in ES cells [2]. An example approach known as poly(A) trapping [2,41,45-49] is the panel of insertions generated by Lexicon Pharmaceuticals [50]. In this example, a 5'-style gene trap as a mutagenicity cassette and a 3' gene trap are used to enrich for intragenic insertions, regardless of the expression status of the locus in ES cells (Figure 1d; see below for a detailed description of a related approach deployed in zebrafish). The 3' gene trap consists of a constitutive promoter/enhancer that drives the expression of a reporter gene that contains a downstream splice donor instead of a polyadenylation signal (poly(A) signal). Integration of the 3' gene trap vectors in the proper cis orientation results in a spliced poly(A) signal from the endogenous gene. This generates a stable fusion transcript between the vector derived reporter and the downstream exons of the trapped gene, resulting in functional reporter expression. Therefore, insertions with viable reporter expression are enriched for intragenic events. The fusion transcript also serves as a template for identification and cloning of the trapped genes by 3'-RACE. Because trapping does not depend on the expression status or relative abundance of the endogenous transcript, nearly all genes in an organism should be available for screening using this approach, which is a key advantage of 3' gene traps over 5' gene traps. Despite the inclusion of the 3' gene trap component in this vector, the primary mutagenicity mechanism for the Lexicon ES cell panel is thought to be due to the inclusion of the 5' transcriptional termination cassette in cis to the 3' gene trap [50].
Transposon-based insertional mutagens in zebrafish
Two groups have employed different 5' gene trap vectors in zebrafish. In the first case, the trap was not necessarily used for selection but possibly to increase the mutagenicity of the retroviral vector described in the previous section for insertional mutagenesis [39]. This vector utilized a splice-in, splice-out vector, similar to the basic gene trap design used for mouse ES cells (Figure 1c), with intronic insertion in the correct orientation inducing a frameshift and probably causing either a truncated protein or a loss of gene product due to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The inclusion of this gene trap cassette in the retroviral forward genetic screen did successfully generate some additional mutations in this screening work, but the overall mutagenicity rate of the trap containing vector was not dramatically different from that of a non-trap-containing virus [9-11]. Because this trap lacked an easily detectable reporter, it was not useful for screening strategies that specifically select trapped insertions for further breeding.
A 5' gene trap containing a splice acceptor and the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene was used in a Tol2 based transposon insertional study in zebrafish [25]. Integration of the gene trap in the proper orientation and reading frame resulted in GFP expression in temporally and spatially restricted patterns. Using this approach it was shown that endogenous transcripts could be successfully trapped. However, in the only case examined, expression of the endogenous locus was only reduced fourfold, implying that the trap could be spliced around at levels that may allow phenotypic consequences to be avoided. In this study, thirty-six trapped lines were homozygosed with no visible phenotypes, but because only about 5% of zebrafish genes may show embryonic phenotypes when mutated, this is not enough lines to conclude whether this type of gene trap can reliably mutate genes. Paradoxically, the experience of mutagenic retroviral insertions suggests one potential hypothesis for why this sort of gene trap may not be a very effective mutagen. Because many insertions in introns (the type of insertion required to activate this trap) can abrogate or severely reduce gene expression, it may be that many such insertions are not detected as trap events because the GFP reporter cannot be visualized in the absence of expression of the endogenous gene. It may therefore be a subset of intronic insertions that are selected, namely those that do not have an appreciable impact on expression of the locus; in these cases, if sufficient message is able to splice around the trap, then phenotypes might not be observed. A careful analysis directly comparing the effects on gene expression of trapping cassettes that have inserted into a given locus that either do or do not express the trap reporter will be required to determine whether this explanation might account for the modest mutagenic success noted for conventional 5' gene traps in zebrafish.
Recently, a combined 5'-3' gene trap ('gene breaking') vector was developed to trap genes in zebrafish [29], in a method similar to the Lexicon traps described for ES cells in the previous section. We use the newer term 'gene breaking' [30] to emphasize the dual module nature of this approach, which includes a 5' transcriptional terminator cassette to mutate the gene in concert with 3' gene trapping as an alternative strategy to select for intragenic vector integrations (Figure 1d). It is worth noting that the ability of this kind of vector to mutate genes upon intronic insertion is almost exclusively due to the 5' transcriptional termination cassette, a function that is independent of the 3' gene trapping mechanism. Although the employment of a transcriptional terminator in the gene breaking trap vector allows suppression of splicing around the trapping vector, the trapped gene expression domain cannot readily be identified using this basic approach. Alternative approaches to add this feature to gene breaking transposons are underway (Balciunas D, Ekker SC, unpublished data).
Practical limitations on the mutagenicity of gene trapping and related approaches
Integration of an insertional mutagenesis vector in an intron of a gene is generally expected to interfere with the synthesis of the normal spliced transcript. However, the ability to reduce endogenous gene expression depends on the efficiency of the splicing, polyadenylation, and any other transcriptional termination signals in the insertional mutagenesis vector. Employment of a weak splicing signal in the gene trap will allow splicing of the endogenous transcript around the trap insertion and cause restoration of undisrupted wild-type transcript, and this has shown to be one of the major hurdles in creating null alleles using gene traps in mouse [51-53]. In zebrafish, gene trapping can occur, but the effective level of gene disruption can be variable [25,39]. The inability of a particular gene trap to disrupt endogenous gene expression could be due to choosing vector components that might not work efficiently in the employed model system. In this regard, it is important to consider the efficiency and limitations of each individual component before assembling the final vector. Not only do the vector components need to work, but they must also work efficiently for many aspects of trapping to be successful. One way to test the vector components is to conduct artificial test trapping studies. In this regard, before assembling the gene breaking trap vector, we conducted artificial test trapping studies and vector components were selected based on the performance of the components in these studies [29]. We have also noticed that vector components originating from nonpiscine sources tend to perform poorly in trapping contexts in zebrafish. Examples include the SV40 poly(A) signal and triple poly(A) signal sequence originating from murine vectors [54].
Many 3' gene traps have an inherent 3' bias when integrating in genes caused by the reduction in expression from the resulting fusion transcript with long, untranslated 3' sequences that are now subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay; thus, insertions might truncate but still leave a viable protein from the 5' transcript. This problem has been addressed in part by the inclusion of an internal ribosomal entry sequence (IRES) immediately ahead of the splice donor [55]; the inclusion of the IRES separately induces translation of the otherwise untranslated 3' exons, alleviating nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Potential precocious trans activation at the endogenous locus by the strong enhancer/promoter traditionally used in 3' gene traps is also a possible concern for this gene identification strategy.
Perspectives and future insertional mutagenesis applications for the zebrafish
Analysis of the human genome has revealed that only a small fraction of the genome is spanned by exons (about 1%); this is in contrast to introns, which account for almost one-quarter (approximately 24%) of the genome [1]. In addition, exons are on average small (encoding an average of only 50 codons) and are separated by long introns (some exceeding 10 kilobases) [56]. This disproportionate size of exons relative to introns is probably true for other vertebrates as well [57,58]. This poses a challenge for conducting insertional mutagenesis because any sufficiently random insertional mutagen is more likely to integrate into the intron than an exon. Depending upon the insertional vector used, intronic insertions may have an insufficient impact on the amount of wild-type transcript, and thus they often result in hypomorphic alleles [41]. Therefore, an ideal insertional mutagenesis vector would be one that can suppress splicing around the insertional mutagenesis vector and ensure the complete or near-complete disruption of endogenous gene expression.
We have presented the current status of insertional mutagenesis in zebrafish and have discussed in detail the recent advances in vectors that have made it possible to develop a viable gene tagging, identification, and mutagenicity method (gene breaking) for zebrafish. This technique differs from the existing zebrafish mutagenesis approaches in several ways. The gene finding and the gene mutating functions that are usually coupled together in a trapping vector have been separated into independent modules, so that one can use different 'gene finding cassettes' such as 3' gene trap or an enhancer trap in conjunction with the 'mutagenesis cassette' for the effective disruption of the trapped transcripts. Thus, the gene breaking vector is modular in design, providing flexibility to the user to pick and choose the individual modules to trap genes with diverse functions. The gene breaking trap is also designed to be independent of delivery mechanism. This was deliberately done because insertional mutagenesis studies in Drosophila have shown that, to achieve genome-wide saturation mutagenesis, multiple delivery tools that have distinct global and local gene tagging behavior must be employed [26,59]. Operating independently of delivery mechanism offers the flexibility to use alternative delivery tools in zebrafish, such as Tol2 transposon [23,25,60-62], Ac/Ds transposon [63], and retrovirus [19], or to employ in vivo delivery methods such as transposase-expressing animals [64,65].
The gene breaking strategy offers several advantages in screening and molecular characterization of tagged loci over existing mutagenesis systems. Because the 3' gene trap employed for gene finding is not dependent on expression of the endogenous trapped gene, this trap can identify and mutate genes that cannot be isolated in a classical gene trap screen [25] or a phenotype-driven insertional mutagenesis screen [9]. By recovering the trap lines and identifying all trapped transcripts, one potentially could use the gene breaking traps for a reverse genetics screen by establishing a sequence-based library of insertional alleles in genes that might have adult phenotype. Such an approach would permit application of a sequence-based prioritization for identifying subtle or adult phenotypes caused by mutations in pre-selected genes. Similar insertional libraries have been created in other model organisms such as fly and mouse. Thousands of fly lines have been created using the P-element transposon [26], and efforts are underway in several laboratories to establish a collection of mouse ES cells with gene trap insertions (for review [2]). The creation of an insertional library in fish might also be achieved by the use of retroviral vectors, and is in fact largely underway [33], although it is not yet clear what proportion of the insertions will have an impact on gene expression because they have been selected only by insertion site, and not by phenotype.
Prospects for conditional insertional mutations: illustrated examples of conditional gene traps in mouse
Many vertebrate genes are used in diverse tissues and in distinct temporal windows of development. The ability to control gene function in time and space critical for the elucidation of gene function in vivo. Consequently, gene trapping in ES cells (Figure 1c) has been modified by several groups to include unidirectional recombination technology (Figure 2). In both cases, the final ES construct is an inverted gene trap cassette designed to serve only as a transcriptional terminator after Cre-mediated inversion in the mouse in vivo.
Figure 2. Conditional insertional mutagenesis strategies. In each case, a vector-integrated locus is shown. Sequences required for Cre-mediated recombination are designated 'LoxP' and shown as a triangle; similarly, sequences required for FLP-mediated recombination are designated 'FRT' and shown as a diamond. These recombinase-requiring sequences are complex components and have been greatly simplified in this diagram. Recombinase sequences that have been converted to an inactive form after inversion are shown hatched. Selection and modification after integration is conducted in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells in vitro, resulting in a nonmutagenic insertional allele. The locus is shut off in mice in vivo after Cre-mediated inversion and resolution. See text for details. E, exons.
In the 'double switch system' [66], a 3' exon trap is used to enrich for intragenic insertions in ES cells; this vector also contains a negative selection cassette to allow subsequent deletion of this part of the vector through FLP-mediated recombinational deletion (Figure 2a). In this configuration the insertion is not mutagenic, but the targeted gene can be shut off by unidirectional Cre-mediated inversion and resolution of the trap in vivo in the mouse. Thus, inactivation of the gene can be spatiotemporally regulated by appropriate expression of the Cre recombinase. One advantage of the 'double switch' generated alleles is the use of GFP to follow endogenous gene expression noninvasively in vivo; reporter expression is independent of reading frame through the use of an IRES upstream of the reporter (GFP). The 'flex system' [56] provides an alternative strategy (Figure 2b) that uses two different unidirectional recombination methods. The vector initially integrates as a standard 5' gene trap (compare with Figure 1c); after ES cell selection for intragenic insertions through expression of the reporter, FRT-mediated recombination and resolution causes inversion of the trap, resulting in a nonmutagenic orientation of the 5' trap vector. This cassette also blocks transcription at the targeted locus after a unidirectional Cre-mediated inversion and resolution of the trap in vivo in the mouse. The pioneering work using these kinds of approaches for the generation of conditional insertional alleles suggests that similar methods will be very powerful in other vertebrate systems such as zebrafish, rat, and pig.
Insertional vectors have been developed to allow one to use functional, expression-based or sequence-based criteria to distinguish and prioritize mutagenic integrations for subsequent analyses. In addition, a number of these vectors have the potential for downstream chromosomal engineering approaches for both somatic and germline applications. Insertional mutagenesis is poised to become an integral component of the molecular genetic toolbox for the zebrafish.

Smile and The World Smiles with You
We should smile more – it would make the world a better place. But if you've lost confidence in your smile because your teeth aren't as perfect as they could be, what are the options? We discuss a few of them here.
Smiles are special. From your baby's first smile to her toothy 8-year-old grin, from your lover's smile after a long day to a stranger's smile when you feel down. Smiles are great.
Remember the power of each of those smiles and how they made you feel – better every single time.
The smile is an appeasement gesture and signals friendship and non-threat, so it's one of the most important bonding signals we have.
A smile is something that costs us nothing but makes us richer and enriches the people we smile at. Why then, don't we do more of it?
Children smile easily – just pull a funny face or tickle them and you'll get big grins and giggles. But as adults we rush about from one job to the next place and forget to smile. Perhaps we're scared that people will think we're nuts if we smile at them.
We teach our children to say please and thank you so we should also teach them about good tooth care, so that they can smile with confidence too.
Dentists recommend:
- Brush regularly with a quality fluoride toothpaste. Do this for 2 minutes twice a day.
- Avoid drinking too much fizzy soda or fruit juice. These contain high levels of acid and sugar that attack and weaken the tooth enamel. Use a drinking straw as this will squirt the drink to the back of the mouth so that it doesn't coat the teeth.
- See the dentist as often as is recommended for you. Everyone has different oral care needs so follow expert advice.
- Dentists know they have a limited number of raving fans! No one really likes going for a check up. But a good dentist will always be looking for ways to make your experience less painful and less stressful. Friends and family will be able to recommend a good dentist.
- Good dental care starts right from the beginning of life – even from a pregnant mother's diet. This will mean a happy, confident smile for life.
Genetics and environment play as much a part with our dental health as they do with all other aspects of our general health, so if you have weaker teeth/gums, or if an accident leaves your smile crooked, cosmetic dentistry can help.
- Whitening or stain-reducing procedures will reduce or take away coffee, red wine and nicotine marks – but you'll need to avoid them in order to prevent them coming back. Tetracycline antibiotic can cause serious staining but some procedures can reduce this significantly.
- The gaps left by missing teeth can be filled by bridges or crowns; uneven teeth can be fixed with caps, filing or invisible braces such as Invisalign.
- Even train-track braces are more acceptable even for adults, thanks to the hit US comedy Ugly Betty. Which just goes to show that it's never too late.
Your smile is your best and most natural asset. It can win friends, business deals and make you happier and spread joy where ever you are. Good dental care is an investment we should all make.
After all, of all thing things we put on in the morning, our expressions are the most important.

Dish of the Day: Christmas – the most wonderful time of the year
Christmas undoubtedly starts way too early these days. You see people pulling the trigger on the carols and Christmas jumpers in November with shops decorated in October and adverts in August. But when the temperature finally drops, the shopping is done, I can't help feeling a deep love for Christmas. Ever since I was a kid, it has been a phenomenal time.
Mid-December Sunday afternoons, sat at home watching movies while the chickens were roasting – they were times of bliss. As Christmas crept closer, the anticipation for Christmas eve baking began. At my house, we'd spend days preparing mince pies, roast hams, cakes, biscuits, and chutneys so we could spend the next few days alternating between eating ourselves sick and sleeping. Which was, quite frankly, like heaven.
Obviously nowadays it's a bit different, what with being a chef and all, there's the business of Christmas parties to contend with, menus having been written back in July, then booking requests for New Year's Eve and… Valentine's? Oh dear, it can all be a bit overwhelming at times, but those memories of watching The Goonies or Uncle Buck, drinking Cream Soda and eating Turkey sandwiches calm the storm inside my mind.
Yes, it's a month of stress but the thought of waking up at 9ish, starting off with a Bucks Fizz and scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, turning on the TV and doing the calls to friends and family, opening presents with loved ones, and then preparing a starter of game terrine or a smoked mackerel pate – well, it is sustaining.
Cheese and port? Of course! Nap time, then later some roasted ham and mustard sandwiches, sides of potato salad & coleslaw. Not forgetting cracking chestnuts and over indulging on Brazil nuts dipped in chocolate. A cheeky whiskey, well, the digestion needs a hand after that lot.
It goes on for days, nobody questioning your gluttonous ways, allowing your eat-sleep routine to go into the only time of the year where dates are more memorable than days – not a soul knows whether the 27th is a Monday or a Thursday.
As for me this year? Unfortunately the above is all a massive fantasy that I can't see becoming a reality; I'll be at work cooking for those who choose to eat out on Christmas day.
But cry for me not. It is actually quite a fun day to work. Spirits are high in the kitchen. Guests are more relaxed and I actually quite enjoy returning home late, opening up a decent bottle of wine and cooking a special steak.
Sometimes, I think, most of the pleasure of Christmas is in the imagining.

The photo above is an extreme close up of B, C, E, and F flute corrugated board. The top two samples – B and C flute – are by far the most common for corrugated shipping containers, whether stock size boxes or custom made.
Functional Differences between B Flute and C Flute Corrugated
As you can see, C flutes are taller, giving C flute corrugated boxes somewhat better cushioning properties than B flute.
And because the flutes are shorter, B flute boxes offer a superior printing surface and more rigidity.
For most general purpose secondary packaging applications, B and C flute are functionally equivalent.
Sustainable Packaging Differences between B Flute and C Flute
B and C flute are constructed using equal amounts of linerboard. In this respect, there is no sustainable packaging advantage one way or the other.
However, because B flute is not as thick as C flute, B flute boxes consume less vertical space when being shipped to and stored by the user – about one third less space, as a matter of fact! This means –
Both of these points can have considerable environmental impact, since corrugated boxes are bulky and take up a good deal of space in a distributor or end user's warehouse. Isn't it amazing that something as small as a flute could have an impact on something as big as energy efficiency?

In my experience, b-flute is more puncture-resistant and crush-proof. The quality of the top and bottom liner paper is sometimes a factor, as well.

While scores of Napa Valley wineries sustained some degree of damage in last weekend's earthquake, 95 percent of the valley's wineries are open for business, a local trade group said Wednesday as it urged visitors to return to Wine Country with the harvest season underway across the North Coast.
The extent of the damage to the wine industry from the magnitude-6.0 earthquake that struck near American Canyon on Sunday still is being tallied, said Linda Reiff, executive director of Napa Valley Vintners. Many wineries are still conducting inventory on how much wine they lost.
"There are still some people who are just getting into their buildings, so we don't have a good estimate," Reiff said.
Napa Earthquake Cleanup
The earthquake struck a small but lucrative and highly visible piece of California's wine industry. Though its vineyards produce less than 4 percent of the state's wine grapes, Napa County growers took in nearly 20 percent of the $3.3 billion spent on California wine grapes last year. The impact of the quake on the county's wine industry — and its ability to process the $650 million grape crop now ready to be harvested — has drawn intense interest from around the globe.
About 20 percent of the trade group's 500 members experienced some damage, said Russ Weis, chairman of Napa Valley Vintners. The most serious damage primarily was centered on the Carneros region, but the temblor also caused problems in other pockets.
For example, Weis noted, the Laird Family Estate Winery off Highway 29 in Napa suffered some extensive damage, which was an immediate concern for some local wineries because it serves as a custom-crush operator for a number of clients.
As they clean up damage, wineries also face additional hurdles in tracking the inventory, as they must also report losses to the federal Alcohol Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, or TTB, and the state Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, he said.
The agencies have been helpful, Weis said. The TTB said earlier this week it will consider waiving late filing, payment or deposit penalties on an individual basis because of the quake.
The trade group held a press conference at the banks of the Napa River to also urge people to visit the area, fighting back against the perception that the region was a large disaster zone to be avoided, spurred by photos on social media and some initial news accounts.
"It's a big concern. It's a lesson that a lot of folks have learned who have been in natural disasters," Weis said. "We really need customers. The last thing folks need while they try and recover from their personal loss is not to have a job to go to."

Man, I wouldn't jerk it, I'd take it down my throat to your balls and give you the best hole you've ever had.
Holy Mother! Your penis is very large, indeed, is very beautiful, but you know what? in my opinion, your penis in the video does not seem 100% flaccid for me in this video you have your semi-erect penis.
I would like to see another videos of your, while you are standing naked, and you showing to your webcam large penis in a flaccid state and then you touch it, and you take its the foreskin to get your glans exposed and finally, your penis, you keep playing until it reaches full erection state with its respective ejaculation and then let's us see how your penis passes of the erect state to flaccid state, and then, The end of video. I really enjoyed this video of you!, But please consider my recommendations.
if I had one of those I'd never leave the house

If anyone knows anything about the area or has any advice please let me know. I am also looking for a house to rent. It would be ideal if I could find a place to live and keep my horse in the same place. Thanks,

It's just like the movies, i eat from the trees
If i do not open the curtains then i cannot see
All the people run by...
My heart eats beats...
My heart eats love...
You are mistaken cause i do not bite
Over the williamsburg bridge on a bike
And if he loves me then why does he leave...
Don't say goodbye like you're burying him
Cause the world is round and he might return...
But if he loves me then why does he leave...

Investing time in home maintenance before winter officially arrives can yield savings in home energy costs and keep the family comfortable. It's not too late to save money this winter by putting these suggestions to use.
Investing time in home maintenance before winter officially arrives can yield savings in home energy costs and keep the family comfortable. It's not too late to save money this winter by putting these suggestions to use.
Home heating and cooling costs account for up to one-third of home energy costs. Start by checking the home heating system. Basic maintenance such as cleaning or changing the filter, oiling the motor and fan, and checking to see if vents and ducts are open and clear and insure an efficient operating system for the winter months.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for seasonal maintenance. A scheduled service call can help to ensure a smooth transition to the heating season. The cost of a service call can be offset if a potential mechanical problem is found.
Consumers can trim home heating costs with a programmable thermostat. This will allow a homeowner to maintain a comfortable temperature when family is home and reduce energy use at night and when away at work or school. Programming also will bring the temperature back into the comfort zone before the family wakes each day.
Adjusting a traditional thermostat also can yield a savings. Lowering the thermostat to 67 degrees (down from 68 degrees) can yield a 2-3 percent savings; turning the thermostat down while sleeping (8 hours a day, for example) can yield a 1 percent savings.
To further reduce home heating costs try the following tips:
• Caulk around windows and doors, in gaps or cracks between the foundation and siding, stone or brickwork, or fill other obvious air leaks
• Checking ductwork for leaks and repair if needed
• Seal and insulate an attic floor
• Seal and insulate the perimeter of a crawl space
• Clean gutters and remove any tree leaves, branches or other debris
• Wrap pipes with insulation
• Block off unused rooms
• Reverse ceiling fans
• Keep blinds or drapes closed
• Invest in plastic sheeting to go over the windows
