It amazes me that so many law firm websites say the same thing. Like we "are client focused", "care about our clients", "efficient", "responsive", "client's interest comes first", etc., etc. Your firm may actually do and emphasize all these attributes. Problem is, how will prospects know that before hiring you. One way is to truly… Continue Reading

Meeting Follow-Up: Start With a Thank You and Go From TherePosted in Marketing Tips, Prospecting for Clients
Ran across an interesting article on JDSupra Business Advisor by Josh Beser. He offers good advice on how to follow up after meetings, so they don't end up having been a waste of time.

Legal Directories: A Waste of Money? Apparently NotPosted in Marketing Tips, Prospecting for Clients
There is an interesting discussion going on over on LinkedIn's CMO Forum initiated by Heather Suttie about investing in yourself instead of legal directories.

When flat or fixed fees started to be bantered about in the last few years, partners in several of my firms said: "Won't work for litigation, since it is too unpredictable."

Of course they haven't for several reasons: no immediate need, forgot 80% of what you said in two days time, or didn't remember you name, etc. So, what's a lawyer to do?

Rob Lowe took a thoughtful approach to playing one of our nation's most beloved public figures, John F. Kennedy.
"I think for known figures, the key is inhabitation, not imitation," Lowe says of his transformation into the 35th President for National Geographic Channel's Killing Kennedy, based on Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard's book.
It airs Nov. 10 – 12 days before the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination.
Lowe had studied the Kennedys for some time, well before he was asked to play the role.
"I've always been an admirer of the Kennedy family and JFK in particular," Lowe says. "I've always had a connection to him, and so throughout my life I've read a lot. A lot. I mean, if there's a book about him or his presidency, I've probably read it. So when this came my way, I was honored to be asked and it's been an amazing experience."
RELATED: Rob Lowe Takes His Love for Animals to the Small Screen
Lowe says he tried to portray the complete man, not just the politician.
"My goal was to play a husband, a father, a brother, a man with a big job who loved and was funny, and smart, and charming, and flawed, and inspired. That was the stuff that I was looking to capture about him," he says. "The goal is just to make him an honest, real man."
Ginnifer Goodwin, who plays First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, says, "The intimacy and revealing nature of this film, and the captivating narrative, really inspired me."
Seeing Goodwin in her costume for the assassination scenes, Lowe Tweeted: "Just saw @ginnygoodwin as Jackie Kennedy in the sad and awful blood-stained dress. Extremely emotional."

U.S. holds bean price advantage
Soybeans traded higher for the session finishing today at 1267 ½ per bushel, which is 9 ¼ cents higher for the day. Good export sales this morning and follow through buying from the China deal were the main cause. The delegation ended up signing deals to eventually buy 13.4 million tonnes. There is also support on dry weather in southern Brazil's growing areas. Some of what we are losing in Brazil may be offset by good rains in Argentina early next week. We can see why this market is finding some support as demand is not dropping off. The record Chinese deal is just another sign this good demand continues to grow their domestic livestock industry. Another interesting note on why we may see more Chinese purchases down the road is the price of beans between Brazil and the US. Including freight, Brazilian beans can be bought, and delivered, for $547 dollars per tonne. US beans can be bought, and delivered, for $536 per tonne. On a per bushel basis this is about 30 cents cheaper to buy US beans. After seeing this information, it is not a surprise we saw a purchase of 173,000 tons of old crop beans sold to China this morning. Do not be surprised if we can see some additional purchases of beans in the coming weeks. For the entire month of February, US beans have been priced below Brazil and for the month to date we have seen the beans rally 65 ½ cents and the funds for the month have added an additional 30,000 contracts.
US is a Value: The discount between US and Brazil soybeans, for immediate delivery, has widened in recent days. While we have this opportunity we may scratch out a few more sales.
Working Trade:
(02/15) Bought March 1250 put 10, risk to 0, objective 40 cents. Closed 5 5/5.
Cattle Comments: Cash fat cattle trading exploded today with big $5 gains at $128 and $129. This is pretty timely as last night's chart showed this is typically a strong time until March/April. The bottom line is that after four weeks of packer kill cutbacks they finally reached the point where feedlots said enough is enough. With rumors of an early start to outdoor grilling, packers didn't want to chance not have supplies for their customers. As we have noted before, packers do have temporary pricing power in cattle and beef prices but it cannot last forever. April futures are now $2 higher than Allendale's projected $129 expiration. We will not consider calling a top in cattle, for the seasonal decline into summer, until mid-March or so. Our bias for far deferreds remains clearly intact with a target for October at $138. Tonight's chart gives an update on the real story in this year's beef market. The base unit of production, calves and feeders, are where the bull story lies. Next week's Cattle on Feed report should indicate the second month in a row of declining placements into feedlots. It should offer further evidence that whatever tight supplies the current market is arguing about on the live cattle end, won't hold a candle to what lies in store in the second half of the year. Our bullish target for spring feeder prices has already been surpassed by futures. We are not turning bearish though. Our target for fall calf sales, at $176.68 for October steer calves, would be 35% over last fall. Avoid trying to call a top in feeder prices for speculative trading this year.

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

I also find this, but I worry that it's the old blub paradox again. Haskell makes it a tiny bit clumsy to do value-based dispatch, so you tend to solve problems in ways which doesn't require it. I'm not saying that's the case, but I just can't say that the reason I find myself not using existentials is because I don't need them (whereas they're immensely useful in other languages). I think I've suggested this before, but some sort of syntactical gizmo for expressing "the data type which wraps values in class C, and is also instantiated in C itself" and just automatically construct the apropriate existential whenever someone uses it, might be worthwhile. Perhaps something like enclosing the class name in angle brackets or something. There needs to be an equivalent way of wrapping the value itself (constructing the wrapper data type), of course (angle brackets again for consistency?). Or automatic type conversion could work, though that seems a bit "un-Haskell" to me. -- Sebastian Sylvan +44(0)7857-300802 UIN: 44640862

Eggs, sandwich and poha, we have tried it all for a quick breakfast. But none of these breakfast recipes seem to be quick enough to fit into your busy schedule? Well we might just have the perfect breakfast recipe for you and it is a fruit wrap. It is guaranteed that a fruit wrap cannot take you anything more than 10 minutes to prepare.
When you are really rushed and still don't want to miss out on the morning meal, just rustle up this quick breakfast for yourself. You can use whatever fruits are available in your house. Try to use at least 3-4 types of fruits for this breakfast recipe. Over here, we have used the commonest fruits to make a fruit wrap. But if you do not like the fruit ingredients that we have used, choose your own.
Serves: 2
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
- Roti- 2
- Apple- 1/2 (cut into small pieces)
- Grapes- 5
- Pomegranate (seeded)- 2tbsp
- Pear- 1/2 (cut into small pieces)
- Banana- 1 (cut into small pieces)
- Mayonnaise- 1tbsp
- Chaat masala- 1/2tsp
- Most families have some leftover rotis from the previous night. But if you are not likely to have any, you can buy readymade rotis and stock up your kitchen.
- Chop the fruits properly.
- For fruits that have to be seeded like pomegranate. Do not seed the whole fruit. You need just a handful.
- Take all the fruits in a mixing bowl. Add chaat masala and mix nicely.
- Apply mayonnaise on the rotis. Sprinkle some salt on it.
- Now spread 2-3tbsp of the fruit mixture on each roti.
- Roll up the roti and eat.
You can also add some mint or basil leaves to the fruit wrap to add some flavour.

The Optimist
As most of you know, this column is traditionally a secular, nondenominational affair. Other than Boston Celtic fans, people of all creeds, colors and religious backgrounds are welcome. So I hope no one will be offended if I was to wish all y'all a Happy Easter – even you filthy Pistonistas.
It may look more like Christmas morning out there, but trust me – this is most definitely the day that my Christian brethren and I celebrate the resurrection of our God's son.
Children decorate eggs and eat exorbitant amounts of chocolate and jelly beans. Men wear their nice threads to church and women routinely wear hats, like at the Kentucky Derby. Easter also marks the final day of Lent, so if you gave up a bad habit for these last 40 days, I strongly recommend picking it right back up on Monday morning.
Since Uncle Dave didn't put the Wine and Gold to work on Christmas Day this season, he compensated by scheduling them on Easter Sunday – and against the despised Detroit Pistons, no less.
No matter. Name the holiday, and you can believe that our beloved Cavaliers will be ready to get it on with their Eastern Conference enemies – exspecially with six games to go and three games to make up in the standings.
The No. 1 seed and the Central Division crown aren't the only reasons the Cavaliers have come to the Motor City with an ax to grind, however.
We Cavaliers – and Clevelanders, in general – consider ourselves a tolerant and forgiving people. We can handle the fact that the Pistons knocked us out of the postseason last spring or that Rasheed Wallace busted Z's melon open. After all, the NBA is a hard-knock life.
But one thing we cannot – and will not – abide is the brazen behavior of certain Pistons' employees towards our own. And recently, it was brought to my attention that that's exactly what transpired during Game 7 of last year's Eastern Conference Semi-Finals in Detroit.
Now I've got no beef with Hooper, who – as far as I can tell – behaves like a complete gentleman during Piston contests at the Palace. But Mini Hooper decided that he was mascot enough to make a move on our little PR diva and basketball communications assistant, Tora Vinci.
I realize that Tora is easily the foxiest PR person in the entire NBA. She's smart, sassy and basketball savvy. What tiny mascot wouldn't want to take a shot at her?
But she's OUR basketball communications assistant, and we look after her like a little sister. And during the heat of a seven-game series to decide who goes to the Eastern Conference Finals, our sensitivities are greatly increased. The fact that this costumed Cassanova took his shot during Game 7 make matters that much more appalling.
Mini-Hooper – have you no shame?!
I'm sorry, but this transgression will cost the Pistons a pound of flesh on Sunday – starting with TheBron's massive 17-point first quarter.
Cleveland leads by six after one period and by seven at the half. But Detroit battles back behind the sharp-shooting of Rip Hamilton, who cans four three-pointers in the third quarter. Rasheed Wallace goes for nine points and eight boards after intermission, and the Pistons re-take the lead heading into the final quarter.
The Palace is electric as the Pistons extend their advantage to six points with two minutes to play. But Splasha Pavlovic cuts their lead in half with a bomb from the left corner. After a steal by Larry Huge, TheBron brings Cleveland to within a point with 26 seconds to play.
The Cavaliers break the huddle and TheBron takes the in-bounds pass with 11 seconds remaining. He works his way past Antonio McDyess and feeds a wide-open Drew Gooden, who sinks the baseline jumper at the buzzer to give the Cavaliers the dramatic 88-87 victory – Cleveland's second straight in Auburn Hills.
The Cavaliers celebrate briefly before mounting the Team Bus, bound for Cleveland.
The squad is able to get out of the Motor City safely without the use of the EM-50 Urban Assault Vehicle simply because it's a widely known fact that a predisposed Ted Nugent always spends the holiday bow-hunting the Easter Bunny.
The Wine and Gold get a well-deserved three-day break after drawing within two games of Detroit.
You folks can take that time to rest those loins, which I've had you girding like madmen and women since the All-Star Break. Enjoy the time off, but please realize that, come Thursday night when the Nets roll into town, I'll need you right back on the front lines – locked, loaded and ready to …
Keep the faith, Cleveland
Your pal,
The Optimist

Why is the Southern Baptist Convention shrinking?
If you read enough right-wing criticism of Mainline Protestant religious denominations such as ours, you will run–repeatedly– across the unsupported assertion that our membership numbers are in decline because our theology is not sufficiently conservative. No doubt that explains why those crypto-Communistic, syncretistic, New Age revisionists in the Southern Baptist Convention are also experiencing a decline in membership.
We all want the Church to grow. But what does decline in numbers mean?
It could mean loss of relevance, real or perceived. It could also be the direct result of becoming more faithful. If the story of Jesus is any indication, the Church is not really meant to be "successful." A lot of what passes as Church growth literature involves a frantic attempt to prop up models of ministry that are not sustainable for the long haul. Real growth can occur when a community chooses to participate in God's mission. Growth in faithfulness is what matters. Growth in numbers is a possible but not necessary byproduct of growth in mission and faithfulness. We are called to make disciples not to recruit people into a "Christian" subculture or prop up a "Christian" nation.
The argument against the mainline has never been particularly convincing. I don't think there is any simple reason for the Southern Baptist decline either. It is part of a much broader sociological movement toward a post Christian culture. I believe that this is an opportunity for the Church, in all its forms, to rediscover its authentic vocation. The real Gospel is always relevant, and authentic ecclesial structures are part and parcel of that Gospel. What the Church of the future will be has not yet been revealed, but it won't look like the old mainline, nor will it look like the contemporary evangelical movement.

The Kids Who Make Our Clothes
In spite of decades of international campaigns against child labor, children in Bangladesh as young as 10 years old continue to sew shirts and pants at all hours of the day and night.
Many of the 4.7 million kids working in Bangladesh come from rural areas where school is not an option. Indeed more than half of them have never been to school. In their labor, some oversee large industrial sewing machines. Others use glue to fix sequins on dresses. Their minimum wage is $39 a month. In a 12-hour shift, an average child worker will handle more than 1,400 shirts.

Son of alleged museum killer speaks
- |
WASHINGTON - The son of James von Brunn said yesterday that his father, who is accused of killing a security guard at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, had long burdened his family with his white supremacist views and that he wishes his father would have died in the shooting instead.
Von Brunn, 88, has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of 39-year-old Stephen T. Johns, who was black.
"I cannot express enough how deeply sorry I am it was Mr. Johns and not my father who lost [his] life," Erik von Brunn, 32, said in a statement to ABC News. "It was unjustified and unfair that he died, and while my condolences could never begin to offer appeasement, they, along with my remorse is all I have to give."
Authorities say James von Brunn shot the security guard in the chest with a vintage rifle after Johns opened the door for him. Von Brunn was shot in the face by guards and is expected to survive. A hearing is set for today in a D.C. federal court for a magistrate judge to hear about von Brunn's health.
"His views consumed him, and in doing so, not only destroyed his life, but destroyed our family and ruined our lives as well," Erik von Brunn said in his statement.
He told The
Erik von Brunn, an aspiring teacher and fiction writer, declined to say whether he was estranged from his father. "The man is 88 years old. I never would have thought he could do this," he said.

Hi Iv just completed the above tutorial to the letter on my 4.3e wii and all has gone perfect infill I installed wiimc installer version every time I try lunching it I get a freeze at the load screen and returned to system menu. Wii brew is on the latest version and running cios58 and I don't know where to go from here and help greatly apreciated
Thanks in advance.
I have a wii that I just Got... It was running 3.4u and I followed the guide step by step and it worked VERY well..... (Thank You)

My question is can I go back and follow the steps and remod my wii maybe set everything to default with out cause any more harm that I already have?????? I would think I just follow the steps and it should fix it..... PLEASE Help thanks
However, I'd check a couple things first - is your hard drive partition primary AND marked as active? There are some weird side effects to not having it marked as active.
Hey Mauifrog, just a suggestion, would there be anyway to sift through the known issues that have come up and condense them in a listing with fixes. I know for some the search built into this site is easy for them to use, if on this site a lot, but I have to admit, I spent over an hour looking and finally just went to google and hopped that back into the wiihacks site to find the answer.
Just an idea for ease of use.
Thanks to you Mauifrog and everyone who watches and posts on this site, you guys make owning and hacking the Wii a worthwhile effort. Best of wishes to everyone involved.

You must have Homebrew Channel 1.0.8+ running on IOS58 to run the installer. If HBC is not using IOS58, reinstall it.
This channel tries load apps/wiimc/boot.dol from SD or USB. You must have WiiMC installed in one of these locations.
make sure HBC loading using IOS58, that could be your problem also
mauifrog big thank you mate for the thread!!! I'm a total noob to wii hacks and your tutorial was so easy to follow. Thanks also to the other administraters on this forum for their very helpful threads.
Just a question that has me somewhat confused. I have modded quite a few Wii's using this tutorial and all have worked perfectly. I have recently purchased a second Wii for my children for another room and decided on updated the file listing from page 1 to carry out the Wii mod.
Now when I use the original hdd image of games with the updated APP Pack from page one, some of the games do not work at all. They flash up that they are loading and then the reset screen appears followed by the Wii channel page with USB loader channel. I have tried each IOS available with the new install software, but none of them make any difference.
My original install each of the previous Wii's runs each game flawlessly, so what in fact is causing this error with the new software? Any suggestions or ideas for a fix?
On a seperate note, is there a way to compare what version of software IOS/CIOS etc is installed on each Wii, like a revision listing etc? MIght be helpful with trying to pinpoint what the issue is.
Cheers, and thanks to a great site with great support and advice.

I found what looks like a molar tooth washed up on the beach. I know there are fish out there with some big teeth but these look like mammal teeth to me. Any help with ID would be great. It measures 1" long, 1/2" wide, and seems to be broken off at the one end, so it would have been longer.
Hi Melissa
I think you are right that the tooth is a from a mammal & that its a molar tooth.
I'm certain its a pigs molar & the missing broken part is the root.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation plans to replace the Highway 10 Bridge over the Mississippi River by the end of this year's construction season.
The bridge near Brainerd was closed to traffic on March 17 after it was damaged by an ice jam and high water. Emergency repair work began three days later. Traffic is now restricted to a single lane in each direction.
MnDOT bridge engineer Dan Dorgan says there have been changes in the river channel since the bridge was built in 1973, which added to the structural damage to the bridge.

Phase two of Huntingdon 'Iron Bridge' railway upgrade to begin
- Route:
A railway bridge which carries the East Coast Main Line through Huntingdon is set for the final phase of improvements as part of Network Rail's Railway Upgrade Plan.
Back in November and December 2015, work took place over five weekends on the 'Iron Bridge' on Ermine Street near the town centre to strengthen the structure and carry out minor repairs.
Next month the second phase of work, which will see more extensive repairs and strengthening as well as the application of a special protective coating, will begin as part of a six-week programme to improve long term reliability and keep trains running over the bridge safely.
Work will be carried out 24 hours a day when it starts on 1 February and will continue until 14 March. Ermine Street will be closed to road vehicles throughout and temporary diversions in place although it will remain open to pedestrians and cyclists.
Members of the Network Rail project team will hold a drop-in session at Huntingdon library on Wednesday 20 January to answers residents' questions and explain the plans that are in place to keep disruption to a minimum.
Rob McIntosh, route managing director at Network Rail, said: "Improvements like the work we're doing to Ermine Street bridge keeps passenger and freight services running, which ultimately benefits the economies of the towns and cities served by the railway. The work has being carried out in two phases and the team will be working 24/7 to keep disruption levels as low as possible for the people of Huntingdon and I'd like to thank them for their patience while the work takes place."
Notes to editors
- The work has been split into two separate phases to minimise disruption to trains as well as road users
- Ermine Street will close at 5am on Monday, 1 February, with engineers working 24/7 to get the work completed as quickly and as safely as possible
- The diversionary route has been agreed in partnership with Cambridgeshire Highways
- The public information event will take place at Huntingdon Library on Wednesday 20 January between 1pm and 6pm.

About Network Rail
Network Rail owns, manages and develops Britain's railway - the 20,000 miles of track, 40,000 bridges and viaducts and the thousands of signals, level crossings and stations (the largest of which we also run). In partnership with train operators we help people take more than 1.65bn journeys by rail every year and move hundreds of millions of tonnes of freight, saving almost 8m lorry journeys. We employ 36,000 people across Britain and work round-the-clock, each and every day, to provide a safe, reliable railway.
About the Railway Upgrade Plan
The Railway Upgrade Plan is Network Rail's investment plan for Britain's railways. It makes up two-thirds of Network Rail's £40bn spending priorities for the five years to 2019 and represents the biggest sustained programme of rail modernisation since the Victoria era. It is designed to provide more capacity, relieve crowding and respond to the tremendous growth Britain's railways continue to experience; passenger numbers have doubled in the past 20 years and are set to double again over the next 25 years - so we need to continue to invest in building a bigger, better railway. For passengers, that means:
- longer, faster more frequent trains;
- better, more reliable infrastructure; and
- better facilities for passengers, especially at stations.

Two arrested on slavery charges in traveller site raids
Three alleged victims of slavery have been "rescued" after police raided travellers' sites and arrested two men.
Detectives swooped on a farm, a house and a business unit in Bristol and South Gloucestershire early yesterday. The alleged victims, men in their 30s, 40s and 50s, were taken to secure locations as part of an investigation into human trafficking and forced labour.
Two men were arrested on charges relating to slavery and servitude, while five others were taken into custody on suspicion of offences including money laundering, cannabis production, handling stolen goods and failing to appear in court. Avon and Somerset Constabulary said that a significant amount of cash was found at one of the addresses. A suspected stolen trailer and cannabis plants were also seized.

Collecting baseball cards and other sports cards is a fun way for the whole family to build lasting memories. Kids, parents and grandparents can all have fun together colleting sports cards.
Baseball Cards and Sports Cards collecting tips: The key factor to remember when building your baseball cards, football cards, other sports cards and non-spots card collections is that the condition of the baseball cards, football cards, or other cards is very important to it's value and the selling price. Baseball cards in lower condition bring far less than those same sports card in top shape. Make sure to protect your sports cards with the proper card supplies every time. If you ever think of selling baseball cards, football cards, or other sports cards your top condition cards will always get better prices than sports cards that are not in top condition regardless if they are old sports cards or new sports cards when you put them up for sale.
There is no right or wrong baseball cards to collect. Many people like Topps baseball cards or Upper Deck baseball cards but there have been many manufacturers over the years and even the ones that are no longer in business anymore like Fleer or Pinnacle are collected by many fans. Some buy only brand new sports cards while other buy only old vintage baseball cards. Price, value or what a price guide says a sports card is worth should not be the only or even the main factor in what you buy. The way to have the most fun with the hobby is to collect what you like and how you like and not what someone else says they think you should.
Many hobbiests like to buy baseball cards by the pack or box and get a thrill out of hitting their favorite player or that hard to find card insert, autograph or relic card. Others like to collect baseball card team sets or cards of their home town players and yet others buy factory sets or build sets by hand. Collecting baseball cards, football cards, basketball cards, or any other types of sports trading cards can be a life long hobby that's fun for the whole family. So above all enjoy your hobby.

Pain Free Dentistry – The Alternative Option
If you consider dentistry to be too painful to bear, it is highly likely that you've had at least one very painful dental experience in the past. The thought of going to the dentist for regular dental check-ups or to have dental treatments may be enough to put some patients in a state of panic – mostly because of the perception that dental treatments are associated to painful and uncomfortable experiences.
This anxiety could have been due to a number of reasons: the dentist starting the treatment too early, before you were properly anaesthetized; a dentist having trouble getting you numb; an active infection of a tooth; a painful injection. You may have had a dentist who wouldn't stop even though you were obviously in a lot of pain. And, of course, some dentists are much gentler than others – you do get the odd dentist or dental hygienist who simply doesn't care about people's comfort or who lacks the skills or compassion required for the job!
Many of the fears that were grounded in some sort of truth are no longer true or relevant. As training, anaesthetic techniques and dental technologies have all advanced in the last few years so that you can now experience pain free dentistry. Finding the right dentist and a good practice can make all the difference.
Lane Ends Dental Practice is among the pioneers of anxiety-free dentistry in Preston, Lancashire and ensures patients receive the highest levels of comfort to help you receive the dental care you require conveniently and comfortably. The first thing we do is to provide you with a relaxing environment and friendly dental team who will welcome you from the start and let you know you're in safe hands.
We believe that communication is the key and we always allow time before your treatment to explain what will happen and answer any questions you may have to help put you in control. It is unfortunate that many dentists still believe that Gentle dentistry is impossible. This is a problem that must be addressed before any dentist can endeavour to tackle the public's perception of dental treatments being painful. Many clinicians forget what it's like to be on the receiving side of an injection, and therefore don't take special care to make it as painless as possible.
Here at the Lane Ends Dental Practice we know it's important to always use a topical anaesthetic first, this bubble-gum flavoured gel is placed onto the gum for a few minutes, this has the effect of numbing up the gum before the injection is given. We also make sure that the anaesthetic is warmed to body temperature and given very slowly, this makes certain that the injection is as painless as possible.
It may sound far-fetched, but in the majority of cases the patient doesn't need to feel anything when having a dental injection.
For a lifetime of PAIN FREE dentistry CALL today on: 01772 – 726932
Our aim is to treat every patient holistically, both clinically and emotionally. For anyone with a fear of the dentist or with a low tolerance of pain, our minimal intervention dental techniques will ease any worries. We pride ourselves on being different to your 'normal' dentist.

A Brooklyn gospel singer is suing McDonald's (MCD[1]), claiming that a piece of glass lodged in her food ruined her singing voice[2].
Jacqueline Simpson says the incident occurred in 2010, when she bit into a chicken sandwich and found a piece of glass bigger than a penny. Simpson is a clerk for the state Attorney General's Office, and says that her voice hasn't been the same since the incident.
According to Simpson, she can no longer sing soprano, and has to routinely clarify her identity over the phone. She filed the suit on Friday.

Indianapolis, Indiana - Marc Marquez hopes to keep his perfect start to the season intact by winning his 10th straight race at the Indianapolis Grand Prix at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday.
Marquez, who is the youngest rider in history to win nine races in a row, has a perfect total of 225 points in the world standings, 77 points ahead of Honda team-mate Dani Pedrosa.
Marquez said on Thursday he was well rested and eager to kick off the second half of the 18-race season at Indianapolis.
"We had some rest over the holidays, one week more or less but now we are ready to go again," he said. "We are excited to ride again and to look at the new layout and the new surface here at Indy."
Marquez dominated the German MotoGP last month in Sachsenring, finishing ahead of compatriot Pedrosa with former double world champion Jorge Lorenzo third.
With the victory, the 21-year-old Marquez surpassed Mike Hailwood's 1964 record as the youngest rider to win nine consecutive races.
Riders will notice some improvements to the Indianapolis 500 track for this weekend's race after critics said last year it was too bumpy.
"The improvements are quite big," said Yamaha's Valentino Rossi. "A lot of bumps seem to be gone and the new surface looks a lot better."
Crowd favourite Nicky Hayden, of the US, will not race Sunday as he is still recovering from wrist surgery.
"You hate to miss your home race," Hayden said. "The surgery went well."
Meanwhile, 27-year-old Lorenzo on Thursday signed a new two-year deal with Yamaha that will keep him at the team until 2016.
He joined team-mate Valentino Rossi in committing himself to Yamaha after the veteran Italian also penned a two-year extension in July.
"I am very happy to finally be able to make this announcement. It is a relief to be able to now completely focus on the remainder of the 2014 season in the knowledge that our relationship will continue for the next two seasons," said Lorenzo, the 2010 and 2012 world champion.
"It has always been my wish to continue my career with Yamaha; I strongly believe we can fight for a third title together. This season has been very challenging after a difficult start, however we will continue to take it race by race, giving 100 percent until Valencia."
Lorenzo is currently fifth in the world championship, 128 points behind runaway leader Marc Marquez on a Honda.

We review the theoretical and experimental situation for long-lived heavy quarks, or bound states thereof, arising in simple extensions of the Standard Model. If these particles propagate large distances before their decay, they give rise to specific signatures requiring dedicated analysis methods. In particular, vector-like quarks with negligible couplings to the three known families could have eluded the past experimental searches. While most analyses assume prompt decays at the production vertex, novel heavy quarks might lead to signatures involving displaced vertices, new hadronic bound states, or decays happening outside of the detector acceptance. We perform reinterpretations of existing searches for short- and long-lived particles, and give suggestions on how to extend their reach to long-lived heavy quarks.

An 18-year-old honor student at Trinity Christian Academy in Texas was forced to leave the school after officials there discovered he is gay and had created a Web site to provide support to other gay teens. The student, who asked that his name be withdrawn after he granted an interview to The Dallas Morning News, said he was a varsity athlete and a winner of service and citizenship awards at the fundamentalist private school in Addison. He was active in the school theater, was a yearbook editor, and helped younger students with Bible study.
According to the feature in the Morning News, Trinity Christian was the student's second family, and by every indication he was one of the school's favorite sons. But when the school's top administrators learned that the student had created a Web site where teens chat about homosexuality, he said they gave him a choice: either leave quietly or face expulsion for "immoral behavior," which is prohibited by the school's code of conduct. In a matter of days, the student went from prized student to sinner outcast.
Today, the student attends high school in Plano, and students, teachers, and administrators at Trinity Christian are left debating whether forcing his withdrawal was the "Christian" thing to do. The case also shines a light on the moral culture clash with which private fundamentalist schools are increasingly wrestling. "I feel completely violated," the student, who had attended Trinity Christian since kindergarten, told the Morning News. "The big lesson here for me is that you can't really trust anybody. That, and I should have kept my mouth shut."
Trinity Christian administrators would not talk specifically about the case. Headmaster David Delph issued a general statement about the school's discipline policy. "As a community of Christian families we also believe the Bible provides insight to help us discern God's desire for our conduct," the statement reads in part. "Therefore we demand high biblical standards of behavior from our students both academically and socially. Our families are asked to embrace these standards of conduct by signing a covenant with the school when students are admitted. Within this framework of biblical standards and academic rigor, an atmosphere of enhanced learning, character development, and love are allowed to flourish."

Julie Armstrong and Talila Harlmon, Comanche, Tex.
Armstrong (seated, second from left): I love cheerleading because you do it for somebody else, not for yourself. And cheerleaders are the ones on the honor roll, the class officers, everything. The team is different races, but you never even think about it. We all just feel the same. We're friends. With Talila, we're not really close friends. But my friends, we don't notice her by saying, ''Oh, she's different.'' When we went to cheerleading camp, I noticed there was a school with all black cheerleaders and one white girl. I think it made her feel better to see that there are places like that.
Harlmon (standing, second from left): I wanted to be a cheerleader because they're the popular people. Me and my brother are the only two black people in school. My brother hangs out with the Mexican kids. I do things by myself a lot. I feel like I have to try harder to fit in. That's why I keep my hair braided and long, to look like the other girls. If I had a 'fro, I don't know what people would say. I wouldn't go out with it natural. The other girls, they go out to get their hair done -- but I can't go, because the hairstylists here can't do my hair. I wish there were more black kids. I'd have someone to relate to in history class, when they're talking about the slaves or Martin Luther King. If I were at a school with black kids, I could go to their house, they could come to mine. With a bunch of kids' parents here, the white girls can't date Hispanics or blacks. It bothers me. Some people aren't like that. I went to the prom with a white boy whose parents didn't mind. But sometimes kids in our school will be having a party, and if I find out and say why wasn't I invited, you could tell that they really want to invite me but they can't. Their parents think that black people steal, or they're just scared. But my mom takes me places, and we go do stuff. My mom tells me it's just life, you just have to deal with it.Continue reading the main story

It's time for some 'atta-boys' to those deserving ag praise
It's time to hand out some kudos this week, as we look at the world of food and agriculture. Instead of complaining about all the injustices we face as producers of food and fiber, I think we need to give a little credit where credit is due.
Many of you have probably already heard about the USDA lifting the ban on school lunches. For those who never knew about the ban, let me catch you up to speed: The USDA limited the intake of grains, starches and protein in public school lunches This brought uproar around the country, especially from parents of athletes. Students from the rural areas of Nebraska even made a video that went viral on YouTube about how hungry they were in school, with fainting volleyball players and weak football players.
This was a loud enough noise for lawmakers to put pressure on the USDA, and it lifted the ban, giving school districts more flexibility with their menus, and those schools with limited resources. Kudos to USDA for recognizing the needs of our students and taking action!
Remember the big ban on flavored milk in schools and the school districts in Oregon, Georgia, California and Florida that wanted nothing but white milk served in public schools?
I'm happy to report the Lebanon Public school district in Lebanon, Ore., has seen the light.
Two parents approached the school board with factual information about the goodness of chocolate milk and the amount of wasted white milk they measured from the students who threw it out during lunch, not to mention the dramatic decrease in students who purchased school lunches.
Amazingly, the school board listened and decided it would be better for everyone if they brought back chocolate milk. Kudos to a school board that listened to reason and decided not to throw the baby out with the bathwater!
Fox News recently went to the University of California-Davis and did a news segment on the merit of a degree in agriculture. They followed several students around the campus, brought out the fact students with degrees in agriculture are in short supply and that students from all walks of life are pursuing the ag path.
It was a positive spotlight on our young people and their love for agriculture. They also commented with the growing population, feeding the world is important, and that agriculture touches every person no matter what. Kudos to Fox News for shining a light on our industry!
Finally, I'd like to give kudos to Dr. Ann Kulze, M.D. of South Carolina who, on a recent radio show, told listeners dairy products are good for them, red meat is a part of every balanced diet and that fats are necessary for the absorption of certain foods.
And, she said Suzanne Somers' book (the one that says dairy products are bad for you) is full of lies.
Kudos to you, Dr. Kulze!
These are all small victories that have been positive for agriculture.
As producers of food and fiber, we have the edge – and that's a wholesome product.
Let's keep making that good product and promoting it with factual information until we satisfy the knowledge-craved appetite of everyone we meet.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - Barack Obama has two best-selling books, a nice salary as a senator and a wife with a handsome income. Earlier this year he reported assets of up to $1.14 million in addition to his Chicago home.
That's small change compared to some of his presidential rivals, but more than enough to create entanglements and controversies for Obama, a Democrat who has been positioning himself as a friend of the little guy on financial matters.
Recently, he scolded Wall Street executives for focusing too much on their own success and not enough on what's good for the whole nation. And he called for tax cuts for the working poor.
"I didn't just discover working folks on the campaign trail. That's what I've been doing my entire adult life," he told union members last week as he recounted his experience as a community organizer and civil rights attorney.
Obama's own success allowed him to buy a $1.65 million mansion near the University of Chicago in 2005. Political insider Antoin "Tony" Rezko, who was under federal investigation, bought the vacant lot next door and sold part of it to Obama, giving the senator more space.
There has been no suggestion that the arrangement was illegal. Obama paid Rezko for the extra space. But Obama has since said it was a mistake to do business with Rezko, who was indicted last year on charges he sought kickbacks from companies doing business with an Illinois state pension fund.
Rezko and his companies contributed nearly $20,000 to Obama's state and federal races. Obama now has donated that amount to charity.
When he entered the U.S. Senate in 2005, Obama's salary jumped to more than $154,000 - nearly triple what he had been making as an Illinois legislator.
His sudden political stardom also brought him a three-book deal worth $1.9 million from Random House Inc. The deal includes a children's book, and Obama says he'll give $200,000 from that book to charity.
His contract gives Obama 15 percent of the sale of each hardcover book, 8 percent or more from paperbacks and 10 percent from audiobooks. His first book under the deal, "The Audacity of Hope," has sold more than 1 million copies since it was released nearly a year ago.
After Obama was elected to the Senate, his wife's income tripled thanks to a promotion she received at the University of Chicago Hospitals. When Michelle Obama rose from executive director to vice president, her salary increased from $121,910 to $316,962.
Obama says his wife's promotion was based on her merits - she's a Harvard Law School graduate - and not on his Senate victory. "You can't fault her for being smarter and better qualified for all sorts of jobs than I am," he said last year.
She also was elected to the board of directors of an Illinois-based food supplier called TreeHouse Foods. For that, she was paid about $45,000 in 2005 and $51,000 in 2006.
The government disclosure reports Obama has filed over the years, and the tax returns he has released voluntarily, reveal a relatively uncomplicated financial picture.
He has made money as a legislator, lawyer and lecturer at the University of Chicago. She has worked for the university and its hospital system and for TreeHouse. Their assets - which are between $457,000 and $1.14 million - are mostly in mutual funds and pensions.
That's paltry compared with some other presidential candidates. Democrats John Edwards and Hillary Rodham Clinton and Republican Rudy Giuliani are all worth tens of millions of dollars. Republican Mitt Romney is the wealthiest candidate in the race, reporting assets of between $190 million and $250 million.
Still, Obama's money is enough to raise occasional complications.
In 2005, Obama's broker invested more than $50,000 in two companies backed by some of his top campaign donors. Obama denied knowing anything about the investments, on which he lost about $13,000, and there was no evidence that he used his office to help the companies.

"Flip Flop and Fly"opens the show with a brisk rendition setting the kind of mood that Peggy wants to convey throughout the recording, upbeat and happy. Hot sax work from Chris Creviston and solid playing from the rest of the band.
Drumming a la "Sing Sing Sing" from Stefan Schatz begins this chestnut ("This Can't Be Love") from Rodgers and Hart. Peggy sings for a brief moment before letting the band cut loose into a hot and steamy romp. Kellso's trumpet roars with a classic New Orleans Second Line beat driving the song. Make sure that you have a clean bill of health from your doctor before listening to this tune Peggy and the band pack a lot into the three minute length. There was an article in Downbeat recently discussing What ever happened to the three minute song. Listen to this track and find out how important it is to have tight arranging and stellar playing. Good example of what a classic three minute song should sound like.
Wynona Carr's "Til The Well Runs Dry" is more uptempo party music this time featuring guitarist Satoshi Inoue. Hot steady vocals from Peggy.
"Daddy" ends this recording. A song written by Bobby Troup, features Satoshi Inoue's guitar, as well as Peggy's fun way of vocalizing. The rest of the band backing her nicely.
Remember a time many many years ago when singing was fun, the band was having fun, and most importantly, the audience was having fun? Listen to this recording and enjoy. I bet you won't be able to sit still for a minute. Get your dancing shoes out and prepare to dance the night away! If you ever have a chance to catch Peggy live, if this recording is any indication, prepare for a fun evening of great music and good times.

In the coming months, consumers in Utah … expect to see improvement in the labor market and with regard to personal earnings. —Randy Shumway, Zions Bank chief economic adviser
SALT LAKE CITY — The Zions Bank Consumer Attitude Index increased slightly from December to January, climbing 0.1 points to 96.2 and keeping the index at its highest level since its inception in January 2011.
The national Consumer Confidence Index increased 3.2 points to 80.7.
Although the index remained flat, substantial change in the two indices that compose the Consumer Attitude Index indicate consumers are feeling more optimistic about the future, according to Zions Bank chief economic adviser Randy Shumway.
The Zions Bank Present Situation Index — an assessment of confidence in current business and employment conditions — declined 6.6 points to 88.7, while the Zions Bank Expectations Index — an estimate of consumer confidence in the economy six months from now — increased 4.6 points from December to January and now sits at 101.2.
When the Expectations Index moves substantially higher than the Present Situation Index, consumers are planning to spend more in the coming months and likewise expect the economy to improve, Shumway explained. The 12.4-point difference between the two indices is the largest difference since June 2013, he added.
"In the coming months, consumers in Utah expect to see improvement in the labor market and with regard to personal earnings," Shumway said. "Thirty-four percent of Utahns expect more jobs to be available six months from now — up nearly 10 percentage points month-over-month — and 31 percent expect their household income to be higher six months from now than it currently is — up from 26 percent in December."
In addition, more Utahns are expecting improvement in their 401(k) plans, with 38 percent reporting they believe $1,000 invested in their retirement account is likely to be worth more in one year, compared with 35 percent last month.
Meanwhile, Shumway noted that gasoline prices have started to creep higher over the past few weeks, and this likely prevented the Consumer Attitude Index from moving higher this month as gasoline prices and consumer attitudes tend to be inversely related.
The percentage of Utahns expecting gasoline prices to move higher over the next year remained above 70 percent in January, and the percentage of Utahns expecting gasoline prices to drop decreased from 8 percent in December to 6 percent in January, he said.1 comment on this story
"Those who expect gasoline prices to move higher believe prices will rise about 44 cents per gallon," he said.
The Consumer Attitude Index is based on a representative sample of 500 Utah households. The monthly survey is conducted by The Cicero Group and has a confidence interval of plus or minus 4.4 percent at a 95 percent confidence level. The Utah Consumer Attitude Index data is compared with both local and U.S. data from previous months to identify key consumer sentiment trends in the state.

(AP) -- The Czech government has signed a deal for Prague to host the headquarters of an ambitious satellite navigation system that is meant to become the main rival to the U.S. Global Positioning System.
The deal was signed Friday in Prague by Czech Transport Minister Pavel Dobes and Carlo des Dorides, executive director of the European GNSS Agency.
The EU wants to dominate the future with a system known as Galileo that is more precise and more reliable than GPS, while controlled by civil authorities.
It foresees applications ranging from precision seeding on farmland to pinpoint positioning for search-and-rescue missions. On top of that, the EU hopes it will reap a financial windfall.
The system with a network of 30 satellites is expected to become operational in 2014.
