Marriage & Relationship Counselling can Help You Create a Healthy Relationship
If you are finding that your relationship is having problems, has encountered a significant event or is generally unsatisfying, then you can change it.
Marriage counselling and couples counselling can be a very effective way of dealing with relationship difficulties ranging from minor irritations within the relationship to more significant issues that are threatening the existence of the relationship. Often couples find that with the help of an experienced couples counsellor, problems that seemed insurmountable can be dealt with effectively and harmony can be restored to the relationship.
Couples counselling is a niche area in counselling that requires a trained and experienced counsellor to be truly effective. Sharon is one of the most experienced couples counsellors in the area.
Relationship counselling can be done with either both partners present or one partner if you choose. In a supportive and neutral environment we explore the concerns you have and set the goals that you want to achieve. We work together to find solutions and put in place strategies that will help to achieve your goals. The focus is on the relationship and no blame is placed on either party as we work together to put in place strategies that will make positive changes in your relationship based on what you want.
Common Issues in Relationship Counselling
Common issues that I help people resolve through relationship counselling are:
- Communication problems
It is a common saying that communication is the key to a successful relationship and I often find that once couples have improved communication or fixed the communication problems they have, many other problems within the relationship will be resolved easily.
I will work with you to determine your current communication style and give you tools to improve your communication with each other.
- Lack of intimacy
After a long relationship or often after the arrival of children, couples can drift apart from each other and find that they no longer touch, talk or have common interests. If this is your relationship, then you can change it.
Through marriage counselling we can identify what your relationship used to be like, the parts that were special, the reason you were together in the first place. Using this information, we can work together to find ways for you to reconnect and build a fulfilling relationship.
- Blended Families
These days blended families make up a large and important part of our society. Bringing together children from different families and backgrounds can be pretty daunting for the best of parents. You have met and fallen in love with a new partner and now have the task of introducing your new partner and perhaps their children to each other. Sometimes this all falls together easily and the children get on, finances are equal and ex-partners are happy to work with you in this transition. More often than not, it isn't an easy process and can place a great strain on the new relationship.
What should be a wonderful time in your life has suddenly become a constant navigation of problems and you may start to question if it is worth the drama. If this sounds like you, then please don't give up yet.
Relationship counselling can be really effective at helping you work through all the issues that arise from blending a family. I can help you to find solutions that will work for your family and give you tools to help you make the transition as smooth as possible.
- Abuse
Abuse can take many forms and most commonly people associate physical abuse as the typical and most damaging form of abuse within a relationship. Other forms of abuse such as emotional, mental and financial abuse are also present in many relationships and can be more damaging in the long term for many relationships and for the individuals affected. Sometimes people do not even realise that the relationship they are in has an abusive aspect and learn to tolerate or live with the abusive behaviour in the belief that they are to blame.
If this is you, then you have choices. Some people choose to leave the relationship and need help and guidance in how to build the courage to achieve this and often need help to rebuild their self-esteem. Other people believe that the relationship is worth saving and want to change the negative behaviour of their partner in order to have a fulfilling partnership.
I can help you determine where you are in the relationship, what you want from it and help you set and achieve your goals. Whatever your choice, I will be there to help you throughout the process.
- Constant fighting or anger
Many couples experience this during some part of their relationship as they navigate life's various challenges. Some couples manage to resolve the issues and move on, settling back into a comfortable relationship. Sometimes though, we need help to work through these issues or break out of the negative cycle. Through counselling we can identify the issues that are causing friction and find solutions to them. Once these are resolved we then work on strategies to ensure that in future you have the tools to resolve problems yourselves in a practical and effective way and maintain a happy and rewarding relationship.
Have a look at my article "Resolving Conflict in a Relationship" for more information.
- Infidelity
One partner having an affair may at first seem like the end of a relationship. But it does not have to end if you don't want it to. It is a lot of work to recover from an affair but it is possible if both partners are committed to staying together and putting in the effort to work together. Many issues need to be addressed including the hurt, ongoing trust and the question of 'why'?
If you choose to work on the relationship, it can be a slow process at the start and you may find that the hurt party struggles to deal with anger, sadness, grief and mistrust. This can be difficult for the other partner to accept as an ongoing part of the relationship for the short to medium term as they often wish to just 'put it behind them'.
Relationship counselling can benefit both partners and help you to understand how the other is feeling now, how the infidelity could have happened in the first place and how to move forward. My role is to help you work through this and not place judgement or blame. Together, you can get through this and build a rewarding relationship for the future. Some couples will actually say that while the event was traumatic, it made them focus on the relationship, get the help they needed and they find they are in a stronger position than before.
See my article "Surviving Infidelity in a Relationship" for more information.
- Conflict over finances or parenting
These are two major areas that cause conflict within a relationship. Looking at how we are raised ourselves often gives us a clue as to the values we have and impose on our relationships, parenting and financial beliefs. Learning to accept that the other person may also have a valid view point and working together as a team to find a suitable outcome for you both is the main focus of counselling.
Finances and parenting can cause some of the most volatile and damaging arguments for couples and yet it is often the emotional attachment to these subjects that causes problems, not the differences themselves. I can work with you to get to the heart of the issues and find solutions that suit you both.
- Life changes
Throughout life we face challenge after challenge as we negotiate the different stages of our life. From first meeting your partner, negotiating marriage and living arrangements, children, schooling, teenagers, through to the empty nest and retirement. Navigating through these stages together and keeping your relationship satisfying and rewarding can be difficult and a real challenge at times.
If you or your partner are struggling with any of these stages, don't leave it until the relationship is in a poor state. Use counselling as a tool to help you work through them and maintain a satisfying relationship with your partner.
Counselling is a really effective tool to help you negotiate and work through most issues in life and in your relationship. Many people find it a bit daunting at first to call or attend counselling but find it very rewarding and worthwhile when they follow through and make some real change for themselves. Most people are surprised that counselling can have such a great impact on resolving issues that they have been unable to resolve on their own.
If you are not sure if I can help with your particular problem or you are nervous about attending, feel free to give me a call. I look forward to helping you with any problem or concern in your life that is important to you, whether it may be big or small.
Are you ready to create a healthy relationship?

Trump keeps achieving things that Obama only talked about.
No wonder the left is pushing so hard to make him look bad!
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported in March 98,000 jobs were created and the unemployment rate dropped to 4.5 percent. These are the numbers people want to see. (Except the Left, of course.)
This comes after two months of less than stellar reports.
Trending: Man Shoots Buck Only to Find It Has Two Heads – But Not In The Way You Think!
Breitbart reports that January and February were revised downward.
We still have a long wat to go, though. March might have been a good month but job creation still fell short of the 180,000 jobs forecast by economists surveyed by Reuters.
Service sector job creation was weak, but manufacturing and construction were able to come close to expectations.
On top of that, the retail sector shed 30,000 jobs this last month.
Economists had expected job creation to fall in March, stating that unseasonably stormy weather in the Northeast could be to blame.
And before you say we are converting to climate change (we aren't!), hear this out.
The weather in February was unusually mild, leading markets that depend on the weather, like construction, to create more jobs during the month of March.
Because these markets don't start until later usually, they were seen to be booming this month in comparison to previous years.
Although Trump is making great strides when it comes to the economy, there is a lot of catchup to do.
We are confident he is the person to do it!

Thai PM to Dissolve Parliament
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said she will dissolve parliament and hold an election "as soon as possible" following a wave of anti-government protests in Bangkok.
- December, 09, 2013 - 10:58
- Other Media
- Comments
"At this stage, when there are many people opposed to the government from many groups, the best way is to give back the power to the Thai people and hold an election.
"So the Thai people will decide," Yingluck said in a televised address as thousands of protesters resumed demonstrations across Bangkok.
Al Jazeera's Scott Heidler says that the king will have to approve the move.
"We expect elections to take place around the end of January or the beginning of February," he reported from the Thai capital.
The leader of the protest movement that has been battling to oust Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said he would not end his demonstrations despite her dissolving of parliament on Monday and a promise of an early general election.
"Today we will continue our march to Government House. We have not yet reached our goal. The dissolving of parliament is not our aim," Suthep Thaugsuban told Reuters.
He has repeatedly said he did not want a new election but wanted a vaguely defined, unelected "people's council" to run the country.
Yingluck's announcement comes as Thailand's capital braced for another wave of unrest as protesters trying to overthrow the country's democratically elected government vowed to swarm Bangkok's streets for a "final showdown".
The demonstrations on Monday come one day after the main opposition party resigned from parliament en masse, exacerbating the nation's deep political divide.

Do you ever find yourself attracted to the same clothes and patterns all the time? I find myself reaching for striped sweaters every time I see one, and I'm still not sick of chevron decor. I want to challenge myself into drawing inspiration from the images I find beautiful, and seeing where it leads me. So, with that in mind, I wanted to start a new recurring feature I'm calling "Translated." Sometimes it might be a picture of art translated into a room, or an outfit or vice versa.
Today, I'm drawing inspiration from Ariel Dearie Flowers, a lovely Brooklyn-based floral designer whose organic white-and-green arrangement caught my eye. I took inspiration from this image and translated it into an earthy and organic dining room:
- Green vase, $32 at World Market.
- Paint in "Shale," by Serena & Lily.
- Vienna side chair, $119 at Crate and Barrel.
- Hammered pendant, $149 at Shades of Light.
- Gold cutlery (this kind is plastic, but ideally you'd have the real deal!)
- Kim Sebert crochet-edge napkin, $6 at Bloomingdales.
- Country trestle dining table, $849 (on sale) from Home Decorators.
- Pewter platter, $98 at Tabula Tua.
- Reed zinc chair, $149 at CB2.
- Allegra Hicks rug, (unfortunately on clearance) from West Elm.

Pay cut a 'kick in the guts' for workers
Workers say cuts to Sunday and public holiday penalty rates are a "kick in the guts" as unions take court action in Melbourne aimed at reversing the move.
Hospitality union United Voice challenged the Fair Work Commission's decision to cut penalty rates with a brief hearing in the Federal Court on Wednesday.
The commission earlier in the year decided Sunday rates would drop by five percentage points for workers in the fast food, hospitality, retail and pharmacy sectors from July 1.
It found the existing Sunday penalty rates in the four industries "do not achieve the modern awards objective" and they overcompensate employees for Sunday work.
But pub worker John Keily, who works every Sunday, says the decision to cut rates is "appalling".
"Federal parliamentarians get a pay rise and rich people get their marginal tax cut and what do we get? A kick in the guts," Mr Keily told reporters on Wednesday.
He says he will initially lose $500 a year, increasing to $2300 a year once all the cuts are in place.
"That's a lot of money to me," the pub worker said.
Mr Keily said that money would have helped pay for his gas, electricity, groceries and fuel.
He said he would have to consider retiring if the appeal against the rates cut failed.
United Voice Victorian branch secretary Jess Walsh says the cuts will hit the lowest paid workers the most.
"We are also calling on employers to do the right thing by their weekend workers to respect the contribution they make and maintain penalty rates," Ms Walsh told reporters outside court.
The ACTU backed the appeal, with president Ged Kearney arguing if the law doesn't protect the lowest paid workers then the law was broken.
"We are going to fight this all the way until this decision is reversed," Ms Kearney told reporters outside court.
The first cut will be five percentage points, with more significant cuts in 2018 and 2019 for fast food and hospitality workers.
Retail and pharmacy workers will have their cuts phased in until 2020.
Public holiday penalty rates dropped 25 percentage points from July 1 for fast food, hospitality, restaurant, retail and pharmacy workers.
After a brief hearing on Wednesday, the next hearing is scheduled for September 18.

how Lukowitz came about
In Graz, Austria, the practice of eating tartines remains alive to this day. It has never gone out of fashion. There, in a family-run business in the Stempfergasse, dozens of classic small sandwiches like the Polnischer Aufstrich and the Liptauer are prepared by hand on a daily base. Well-known to all the townspeople, the elegant bar fills up every morning and afternoon with young and old, having their customary choice of brötchen with a small glass of local wine or drink their beer from a tiny glass known as the pfiff.
It is not unusual that the sandwiches run out before three o' clock in the afternoon – from the store is a coming and going of delivery boys with carts stacked with beribboned boxes filled with the brötchen to lighten up functions ranging from birthdays, graduations, and unexpected visits from the parents-in-law.
One might wonder, if Lukowitz is a person, or maybe even a group of people. It is neither. It is a way of looking at things. Lukowitz is a longing for the ways and quality of the past, but transposed to the tastes and technical capabilities of the present. And the ways of Graz inspired Lukowitz to make what is on offer here now.

Trent: Super Husband
My husband has been so absolutely wonderful the past few days. Wednesday he took the 3 oldest kids with him to Christopher Creek for the day. It is pretty common for him to take Tucker along when he goes there for work. Sometimes Charlotte too. But I was so surprised and grateful when he took Henry as well, without me asking or anything. It was a wonderful day off for me to only have Paisley and myself to care for. He has also just been more thoughtful the last couple of days. He has been mindful of things that I need. Something as little as packing the travel swing in the car before we go to his mom's has made my life easier and made me feel so happy because he was thinking of me and how he could help. He has been doing the dishes in the mornings and helping with laundry, which is not entirely unusual. I am just feeling especially grateful for my sweet husband today, who at this moment is at the park with Tucker, Charlotte, and Henry, playing and launching the rocket he got for Christmas. What a lucky girl I am!

he is a pretty great brother too!! :)

Menelaus blue morpho butterfly
Menelaus blue morpho butterfly
Morpho menelaus
These beautiful blue butterflies can be seen from over 1 kilometre away when the sun reflects off their shiny wings in flight. They can also vanish into the forest instantly by closing their wings. The mottled brown underside of the wings allows them to blend into their surroundings.
Where can you see them? They are found from Mexico, through Central America, down to Brazil. The butterflies spend most of their time up in the rainforest canopy. You may spot them in sunny spots and clearings closer to the ground.
What do they eat? Morpho caterpillars feed on the leaves of plants in the pea family (Fabaceae). The adults sip liquid from rotting fruit, decomposing animals, tree sap, fungi and wet mud.
Are they endangered? Blue morphos are severely threatened by deforestation of tropical forests and habitat fragmentation. Local over-collection for the butterfly trade may also be having an impact.

Hazen Star Sports
Borud leads Bison boys by example
Whether it's teeing off the first hole or putting a birdie to claim the medalist spot, Conor Borud goes through identical motions.
Miners swept away in WDA action
Ryan Bodell is a familiar face around the Minot High School baseball fans. During the springs of 2003 and 2004, he was on the Magicians varsity baseball team, winning all-state honors his final season.
Duewel dominates in nightcap win
Kerby Duewel does not look like the average pitcher. The Hazen junior's delivery is unique from the rest of his team. But in last Tuesday's doubleheader against Minot, he wasn't worried about how he looked so much as how he performed.
Too many free passes hurt Beulah-Hazen last Tuesday. And the Miners still almost made up the deficit with their ability to hit the long ball.
Girls track racking up qualifiers
One thing is for certain at the Hazen girls track and field camp. No matter how the team does at the regional meet, at least four events will be represented by Bison at the state meet. Before last week's action Breaunna Oakland stood alone as Hazen's only qualifier. After two more meets last Tuesday and Saturday, the number is up to three athletes.
Hot streak helps Bismarck over B-H
Last Tuesday's baseball game between Beulah-Hazen and Mandan teetered the Mother Nature line all afternoon. Keeping on constant contact, Mandan made the 72-mile trip to Goldmann Field at McKenzie Park. The teams were out warming up when the darkening skies opened up to begin a 12-hour downpour.
Demanding excellence and making the first steps toward it
Hazen girls track head coach Leland Opp is fortunate to have a stable full of high quality athletes. What makes the veteran coach produce successful teams every season is his demand for athletes to reach the potential he sees for them.
Martial arts: More than just
Matthew Krizan is like most 12-year-old boys in that he loves football, Kung Fu movies and chasing girls. His older sister Emily Krizan is a bit quiet for a 14-year-old but don't let the pretty exterior fool you as she has an inner fire when she is interested in the topic.
Martial arts promotes three new black belts
March efforts lead tracksters down path of improvement
The meet may be termed the "state indoor" but veteran Hazen track and field coaches know it's just not true. No matter the conditions, a superior track team does not win the season with March success.

LAKEVILLE – Apponequet was at home Monday afternoon, but the Lakers were in uncharted territory in more ways that one.
The tenth-seeded Lakers were in the Div. 2 South quarterfinals for the first time in school history, and their gym was packed with screaming fans from Norwood.
The uncertainty, along with missing middle hitter Anna Forth and setter Marisa Sarcia to injury, were too much for No. 10 Apponequet to overcome in the 3-0 loss to No. 15 Norwood.
"It does have an effect on the team chemistry," Apponequet coach Meg Giammalvo said of the injuries. "The girls that came in to play though, they did a good job and tried hard. They did what they needed to do."
Forth's presence was missed immensely with Norwood's best player being middle hitter Kathryn Ryan. And she set the tone early with Norwood winning the first set 25-7.
But middle hitter Sarah Blair and the Lakers adjusted in the second and third sets, but it wasn't enough, with Apponequet losing those 25-16 and 25-15, respectively.
"We were just trying to figure out where she was hitting mostly and follow her shoulder, too" Blair said. "A lot of the time we were going up for it because she was kind of hitting straight down instead of far back. So we were going with wherever she went. (Giammalvo) also had me focus-blocking in the middle."
Blair led the team with five blocks, but Apponequet's adjustments weren't enough gain an edge.
"We had to make adjustments to our defense," Giammalvo said. "When we started making the adjustments, we started seeing some improvement. But (Ryan) is just a very talented athlete. And hits hard."
WHAT IT MEANS: Apponequet's (13-9) season ends with the loss, finishing 1-1 in postseason play. … No. 15 Norwood (10-12) advances to the semifinals to take on the winner of No. 3 Falmouth (16-4) and No. 11 Milton (13-8).
APONEQUET STATS: Säde Fehlig led Apponequet with four kills and five digs. … Blair led the Lakers with five digs. … Julianna Martin finished with six service points for the Lakers, all coming in the second set during the Lakers' longest scoring run, where they had seven unanswered points.
NO GRADUATING SENIORS: Apponequet doesn't graduate any seniors, but the Lakers do lose Finland foreign exchanged student Fehlig. … "I asked if she would like to (come back)," Giammalvo said. "Honestly, having her join our program, she was such a valuable asset. We had to move some people around to different positions. I moved my outside to an opposite because she came on and was such a strength for us, personality-wise on the floor and also her ability. She did very well; she's an all-around player. Great back row and her swing is the best that I've seen in a while for Apponequet."
FIRST YEAR OVER: This marks the end of Giammalvo's first year as head coach, having already taken her team the farthest the program has ever been in school history. … "Things are working really well," Blair said. "It really says something that this is the farthest Apponequet has made it (in the tournament)."

Ash Tree Dropping Leaves
I have an ash tree that is well over 20 years old. The leaves from some top branches are turning brown and falling off. This has never happened before. We have it trimmed every couple of years. This is a wonderful tree and I really hate to lose it. Do you have any ideas what may be causing the problem, and is there anything I can do to save it?
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
I too have an old ash tree, actually two of them. One of them had problems with some kind of worm or caterpillar that would cause the upper leaves to roll up, turn brown and die. Sometimes it dripped a slimey goo as well. I told a gentleman at our local nursery about it and asked about a spray for it. He advised me that spraying does not work so well many times, so he showed me a product called Bayer Tree & Shrub. It is a fertilizer as well as a systemic insecticide. I feed the trees with it once every year and have had no further problems. Therefore, I recommend the same to you.

Experienced Personal Injury Attorney Serving Victims of Dental Malpractice in Chicago
Malpractice cases are not limited to medical physicians. Dentists are equally accountable for their treatments, and they are required to provide their patients with the expected standard of care. When a dentist, orthodontist, periodontist, or orthodontic surgeon injures a patient by deviating from that standard, he or she is liable for injuries caused.
It is important that patients understand what constitutes dental malpractice, and what steps they must take to file a claim against a dental professional. Most importantly, anyone who suspects they are the victim of dental malpractice should contact a dental malpractice lawyer from Malman Law for a free case evaluation.
Examining the Dentist's Duty of Care
All dental professionals, including hygienists, are required to provide patients with a standard duty of care. This duty reflects the acceptable standard by others practicing in the same field of dental care, and compares the negligent dentist's actions against that of a prudent, competent dentist. The "duty" is the legal standard that determines if the dentist was negligent at the time of your injury.
Furthermore, it must be established that the victim (plaintiff) was a patient of the dentist (defendant). Establishing a dentist-patient relationship is as simple as providing receipts or proving the victim was a patient at the time of the injury.
The Breach of Professional Duty
Once the duty of care is established, and the patient's relationship with the dentist established, the breach of duty applies. If the dental professional deviated from the required standard of competent care, then he or she may be liable for injuries. However, a deviation from the expected standard is different from a poor outcome.
While an unfortunate outcome is unexpected and disappointing, that does not automatically mean that the dental professional breached his or her standard duty.
Dental medicine, like other forms of medical care, is not an exact science. Therefore, there are no guarantees that a treatment will succeed or prevent complications in the future. However, if the dentist apparently breached his or her standard of care, holding them accountable is done through malpractice.
To establish that a breach occurred, an attorney typically hires a dental expert to testify and show how the dental professional breached his or her duty to the patient.
The most important factor to establish after breach of duty and owed duty of care is causation. Even if a dentist breaches his or her duty, if no injuries or damages occur, there is no valid case. Therefore, patients must show that the dentist's breach caused their injuries, and they suffered damages (financial costs, pain, and suffering, and so forth) as a result.
Most Common Instances of Dental Malpractice and How They Occur
Dental injuries and accidents are common. While not as common as medical malpractice and errors, the fact remains that dental professionals cause injuries or deaths annually too.
Dental Extractions
Dental extractions are complicated and dangerous procedures. They involve the dentist removing a tooth whether it is due to infection, compaction, or another medical reason. With these extractions, injuries can include:
- Infection
- Severed Nerve
- Sinus Perforation
- Bur Fracture
- Mandibular Fractures
Endodontic Procedures
Endodontists are professionals who perform oral surgical procedures, such as root canals and specialty procedures handling infections and diseases of the teeth and tissues.
These specialized procedures have associated risks, and while those risks are not necessarily malpractice, injuries can occur if the endodontist is not careful.
Some common injuries that occur from these procedures include:
- Infection – Including brain abscesses, osteomyelitis, and other life-threatening infections
- Broken Instruments in the Canal
- Sinus Perforations
- Air Embolisms
- Nerve Damage
Dental Implants and Injuries
Dental implants are designed to restore a patient's smile, replace missing teeth, and offer permanent solutions for those who do not want dentures. However, they are complicated procedures – much more complex than patients might realize.
While complications exist with this type of procedure, there are also injuries that might occur, including:
- Postoperative infections of the jaw bone
- Implants placed on nerves
- Unrestorable implants due to bone degeneration
- Implant loss
- Fractured jaws
These injuries are more common with regular dentists performing the procedures than periodontists (dental professionals with additional training).
Crown and Bridge Treatments
Crowns and bridges are used to fill in gaps of missing teeth or teeth lost due to injury and infection. Injuries are not as common with this procedure, but when a dentist is negligent, a patient can suffer costly repairs and injuries, including:
- Damage to existing teeth
- Poor occlusion
- Open margins
- Overhanging restorations
- Full mouth reconstructions
Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease is a serious infection of the gums and underlying tissues. A dentist should catch this disease early before it has a chance to progress. If the patient continues with frequent check-ups and screenings, their dentist will detect periodontal disease during an annual checkup.
Common injuries and cases associated with this disease include:
- Failure to diagnose
- Failure to treat
If the dentist rarely probes for the disease or never takes routine x-rays, it is likely they will miss the periodontal disease and fail to address it – which could result in a severe infection or complete tooth loss.
Negligence in Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatments typically include braces and re-alignments of the teeth. Sometimes these injuries can result in tooth loss, root damage, nerve damage, unnecessary pain, and TMJ injuries.
Orthodontic procedures are costly; therefore, when an orthodontist is negligent, patients experience excessive out-of-pocket costs that may be unnecessary.
Dental Anesthesia and Complications
Extensive dental procedures or procedures on young children can lead to complications and injuries. When the dentist fails to inform patients, receive consent, monitor the patient under anesthesia, or review the patient's history for possible interactions, serious injuries occur.
Common injuries include:
- Hypoxic brain injury
- Respiratory issues
- Cardiac arrest
- Death
Dental Infections
The mouth is full of bacteria, and when a dental office does not properly sterilize or take measures to prevent infection, severe injuries can occur. Infections can be life-threatening and lead to deadly brain abscesses. They can also lead to sepsis, a fatal infection that causes the body's organs to fail slowly.
Dental Injections and Injuries
Injections are often used to numb the area so that the patient does not feel pain while receiving routine and extensive dental work.
Injuries can occur when injections are done improperly, including permanent nerve damage. While dentists might know they struck a nerve with their injection, if they do not withdraw and reinject elsewhere, permanent injury might occur. Also, the dentist should follow up with the patient, seek treatment, and refer them to specialists if needed.
Adverse Drug Reactions
Several medications might be used in dental procedures. When a drug reaction occurs, it is typically a drug contraindicated on the patient's medical history. These can result in fatalities, especially if dangerous interactions occur.
Failure to Diagnose Oral Cancers
Oral cancers are tragic. Sadly, a dentist who fails to diagnose or misdiagnosis oral cancer may be negligent. If the oral cancer was easily identified, but the dental professional missed the early warning signs, and another dentist would have easily diagnosed it, then that dental professional may be liable.
TMJ or Other Orthognathic Injuries
TMJ surgeries are typically corrective in nature, but if done improperly, they can lead to serious, debilitating injuries. Some patients may be unable to open their mouths, chew, or function. Typically, these injuries occur under the care of an oral surgeon.
Legal Remedies with Dental Injuries Occur
When a dentist injures a patient, the patient has several legal remedies at his or her disposal. These solutions include:
- Filing an official complaint with the state dental board. All patients should submit a complaint to the state dental board. The complaint forces the board to investigate the injury and incident. If the investigation determines the dental professional was negligent, they may receive a citation. Serious injuries or malpractice could result in a revocation of their license.
- Filing a dental malpractice lawsuit. Medical malpractice attorneys handle dental lawsuits. These are not cases that a victim can handle alone. Instead, an attorney is required to conduct depositions, subpoena records, and conduct a thorough investigation.
Consult with a Malpractice Attorney Regarding Your Dental Injuries or Complications
If your injuries are severe, then it might be in your best interest to speak with a malpractice lawyer.
The injury law team at Malman Law can review your case, and we can also help file a complaint with the state dentistry board. Furthermore, we will examine records and identify which parties might be to blame for your injuries. Sometimes the injuries occur from a dental office staff member, such as a hygienist, while other times the dentist is responsible.
Our malpractice attorneys will then help determine how much your case is worth. We will aggressively seek out the compensation you deserve, and hold the negligent dentist accountable for his or her actions. Furthermore, your lawsuit may prevent others from suffering similar injuries – forcing the dentist to be more aware of how their actions affect their patients. Schedule a consultation with an attorney from Malman Law today by calling or contacting us online.

I went to visit my old chiropractor the other morning. Oh god, it was so good. Nothing I like more than being put in awkward positions and having my back brutalised by a no-bullshit South African dude. He can even crack the right side of my neck, which no other chiropractor has ever been able to do. I CAN'T EVEN DO IT MYSELF. Needless to say, the man is a genius.
But the glories of having my spine cracked are not what I'm here to talk about. I'm here to talk about why I decided to wake up at 6.30am to traipse 2.5 miles across town to see this guy, when usually I would still be asleep. And you guys know how precious I am about sleep. There's another chiropractor literally a 5 minute walk from my flat. I could get up at 7.45am and still make my 8am appointment with time to spare.
But no, the other guy – the hour's-walk-away guy – wins my vote. There are two reasons for this:
Firstly, the South African guy is just plain better. This is obviously a very good reason for going there. But just as important, this guy is open and honest and doesn't try to squeeze as much money out of me as he can.
It's that second thing I want to focus on.
Hard Selling vs Honest Selling
The 5-minutes-away chiropractor is like every other chiropractor I have ever been to. As soon as you've had your first appointment, they pester you to make the second one. In the same week. And two more the next week. Regardless of your specific needs, this is what they tell every single new customer, as far as I can tell: Twice a week for the first few weeks, then once a week, then once every two weeks, and on and on, until you're going there regularly for life. This is how it's been with the three other chiropractors I've visited.
You know what the South African guy said to me when I asked him whether he thought my goal of coming once a month was a good idea? Or when I asked him when I should come again next? He said we should play it by ear. It's different for everyone. It will depend on your own needs. He even said this: 'The goal is that you don't have to come at all.'
You know why I went at 8am? Because it was his only available appointment that week. The rest of the time? BOOKED. UP. This is not a coincidence.
It is, of course, partly due to his excellent service. But it's also largely due to his work ethic. The fact that he wants to do what is right for you – not what is right for him. And that makes a huge difference in this modern world of bullshit sales tactics and dishonesty.
Being told you must come twice a week (and by the way, chiropractors are not fucking cheap) regardless of your situation? Super off-putting. Reeks of desperation. And it's deceptive. It makes you feel like you're being lied to. Do I really need to come every week? Twice? No. I think bloody not.
Not providing a good enough service? Well, that's unacceptable, of course. But being deceptive on top of that? Get the fuck out.

We have a potential three new members and, associated with this, we have potentially three parents who want to join as off-peak members - so encouraging cadets has a positive knock-on effect on adult membership. The majority of cadets have achieved a single figure handicap on the practice ground course and have graduated to playing six holes from the 150 yd markers; four have achieved a single figure handicap against a Par 24 and have graduated to playing off the 200 yd markers. On Tuesday the Juniors were given an excellent coaching session by Shane on how to play out of a bunker following which Nick gave them instruction on how to repair the bunker after playing.

Despite the near-universal use of digital technology and tools, coding is still a mystery for a majority of the population. What adds to the mystery is the growing number of coding platforms, languages, and tools. It is simply impossible to remain updated with all of them. So, most small and medium businesses simply hire an external agency to take care of any digital aspects of their operations. As for large businesses, they often prefer to outsource the non-core aspects of their business. Naturally, there are a large number of coding tools and service providers out there to cater to these businesses. How do you differentiate your business from the millions of similar services? A memorable, trendy, and inspiring name is one of the most powerful ways to ensure that your brand's visibility spreads like wildfire.
A business operating in the mysterious world of coding deserves an equally mysterious name. And, you don't have to go far looking for inspiration. Which is one field which keeps churning out the most mysterious sounding names? The military, of course. Whether they are trained to pick the most edgy and tense sounding names or not, we will never know. But they always come up with the most obscure names. You can choose a perfect name for your coding service or tool by drawing some inspiration from the names of military operations. Look at these – Primrose, Prism, Canvas, and Deadlight. They all sound so mysterious, yet are so familiar that anyone can remember them.
If you intend to have a strong online presence and wish to leverage it to gain more clients, then you need to think of a name that gives you the best domain name. A popular trend these days is choosing non-popular domain extensions. Domain Extensions like .IO, .CAFE, .CHEAP, .CLICK, .CODES, .GURU, .ONE, and many others can help you create superb domain names. In fact, you can even use these domain extensions as part of your brand name. Say, you offer coding services in Java. Then your brand name can be Java Guru, and your domain www.java.guru. How awesome is that! Your audience will always remember you and your domain, once they come across it.
Still finding it hard to find the right name? Don't worry. Check out our specially curated list of names that are designed for coding tools and services. Each one of them is better than the other. You will love them. You can easily find one that suits your specific requirement. The names that make to our lists are only those that are rated high in popularity by our survey takers. So, you get a pre-tested name that is guaranteed to be a hit.

Debate: Revolutionary Left vs. Revolutionary Right Reply
This is what civilized discourse between intelligent people looks like. I actually agree with most of what both debaters said. Maupin is more or less arguing for democratic socialism, and Invictus seems to be a moderately conservative, classical liberal. Neither one seems that radical to me.

Derek Zoolander might just be the hottest supermodel on earth. No one brings blue steel to the catwalk like he does. No one matches his unheard of longevity in the modeling industry. Just this spring, he and his compatriot, Hansel, took Paris Fashion Week by storm, stomping the runway and proving they've still got it 14 years after the release of their cult classic comedy, Zoolander, in 2001.
The world-renowned model aka Ben Stiller also came to Paris Fashion Week with a much-anticipated announcement. Rumors have been swirling on the inter webs for some time now about a Zoolander sequel. He made the movie sequel official with the kind of style that we've come to expect of the supermodel: on the runway of Maison Valentino as the likes of Anna Wintour watched on!
Swoon! We couldn't be more excited! In anticipation of the sequel, we're taking a look back at the movie that has a good laugh at the usually buttoned-up fashion industry. Cyberspace is chock-full of behind-the-scenes fun facts and trivia about Zoolander. We're rounding up the best of them today in honor of the great movie and the great man himself:
Did you know that:
Zoolander was banned in Malaysia because of the movie's plot to assassinate the country's dictator. The ban was eventually lifted.
Critic Roger Ebert apologized to Ben Stiller for his scathing review of the film, while they were both backstage at The Tonight Show.
Ben Stiller wrote the part of Hansel with Owen Wilson in mind.
Andy Dick was originally intended to play Mugatu, but couldn't because of schedule contacts.
In real life, Ben Stiller's wife, Christine Taylor made fun of how Stiller combed his hair in the mirror, inspiring the "blue steel" look in the movie.
Owen Wilson wears a wig throughout the movie, while Will Ferrell's hair is his own.
A commercial for the film was interrupted by the very first coverage of 9/11 on WNYW.
Whenever Hansel is seen with Mugatu, he says, "Hansel is so hot right now."
David Duchovny's riff to the question "Why male models?" in the cemetery was a total ad lib.
No, Owen Wilson is not a yo-yo aficionado. The tricks his character does in the yo-yo scene were performed by professional yo-yo artist, Steve Brown.
Mugatu is also a furry, white creature in a Star Trek episode.
Milla Jovovich crafted the role of Katinka Ingabogovinanana (say that three time fast) after her mother Galina Jovovich.
Owen Wilson's line "Who you tryin' to get crazy with 'ese? Don't you know I'm loco?" is an opening line of the song "Insane in the Brain" by Cypress Hill.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Two consumer groups support a proposed settlement that would transfer partial ownership of the Mitchell Power Station in Marshall County to Wheeling Power. Energy Efficient West Virginia and West Virginia Citizen Action Group both signed off on the proposal that was submitted to the state Public Service Commission last week.
American Electric Power wants one of its Ohio-based subsidiaries to transfer ownership to the West Virginia-based Wheeling Power to increase capacity. AEP first tried to transfer ownership to Appalachian Power but Virginia regulators rejected the plan.
Charleston lawyer Emmett Pepper works with both groups. The executive director of Energy Efficient and counsel for WV CAG said the gains in the proposed settlement are significant. He said one of those is AEP has agreed to spend more on energy efficiency programs.
"The power company has increased their annual amount they spend on energy efficiency to 10-million dollars a year (from $8.2 million)," Pepper said. The proposal includes a continuation and expansion of current programs.
Pepper also said West Virginia consumers will pay for 82.5 percent of the plant through the first few years of the purchase not 100 percent. Wheeling Power customers also won't be responsible for Conner Run Fly Ash Impoundment that is also on the site.
Pepper said a key provision of the proposal requires AEP to make the process of selling any future power plants more open.
"The next time they have a need for energy and want to buy some more power plants they need to put it out for Request for Proposal. It needs to be a competitive process instead of just what it looks like, to the outsider at least, a sweetheart deal," Pepper said.
With PSC approval of the settlement, the transfer would make the third coal-fired plant transfer to a West Virginia-based energy company in the past year. The PSC approved the transfer of FirstEnergy's Harrison power station to Mon Power and AEP's John Amos plant to Appalachian Power. Pepper said it is cause for concern.
"Electric customers in West Virginia do not have a very diverse portfolio—it's almost exclusively coal. So we are tied very much to what coal prices are," Pepper said. "We're now locked in. If natural gas gets a lot cheaper, solar gets cheaper, wind gets cheaper and coal continues to get more expensive, we're on the hook."
The PSC is reviewing the proposed settlement concerning the Mitchell Power Plant.
The bookman
I just love to read coherent retorts. I guess I'll have to wait for one.
Yes, but for long? Not much. Grow up.
The bookman
No one wants the responsibility of the CO2 emissions from coal. Ohio doesn't want an Ohio based utility operating outside its borders producing it, and Virginia doesn't want Virginians consuming it. Yet everyone in the region needs it. Can we be realistic America? Coal, for now, keeps the lights on!

The Burton at Bideford is lucky enough to work with a number of key partner organisations, generous artists and local business people who help provide support for us to achieve our daily work and future ambitions.
This support is, of course, about funding but it's also about being affiliated with the gallery and museum and having a two-way relationship whereby we support each other's goals, in terms of the charitable trust's vision and business aims.
We'd like to especially thank Torridge District Council for their ongoing support of the gallery since its transition to a Charitable Trust. Also all of the kind support of local businesses, and the many generous gifts of works given to us by artists across the world.
We'd like to say a big thank you to the wide-ranging support our Friends and donors have given us in the lead up to creating this new website (and implementing our new branding and in-house signage too). There are too many fantastic, committed volunteers to name here, but we appreciate you all individually, and all the many ways you help the Burton at Bideford remain a successful venue for appreciating art and culture in north Devon.

ONLY Sunderland RCA and Dunston UTS are unbeaten in the STL Northern League First Division after Whitley Bay suffered their first defeat in nine games at Billingham Synthonia last night.
The Seahorses conceded three second half goals to Matt Crossen, Chay Liddle and David Abel before Paul Chow claimed a consolation goal.
At the other end of the table, there is still no respite for Tow Law Town who went down at Norton and Stockton Ancients for whom Garry Barnes scored both goals. The Lawyers remain one place and two points ahead of Stokesley SC who have one point from 13 games after losing to Bishop Auckland.
Had Nathan Porritt not missed a 23rd-minute penalty , then things might have gone their way but Bishops took full advantage to win 3-1. Andrew Johnson (2) and Darren Richardson netted with Joe Melvin replying for the visitors.
Consett ended a losing sequence with victory at Bedlington Terriers where David Brown and Michael Mackay were the marksmen while Spennymoor Town have run into form of late after an indifferent start.
They went nap at home to Penrith as the goals flowed from Philip Thornton (og), Michael Laws, Sonny Andrews, Adam Johnston and Gavin Barton.
Shildon suffered a 4-1 defeat against Newton Aycliffe who are up to fifth during their first season in the top flight.
Glen Robson, with a brace, Dale Jardine and Elliott Gardner struck with Warren Byrne Shildon's only scorer.
In Division Two, West Allotment Celtic moved into the top six with a 2-1 victory at Darlington RA, who stay third. Stephen Allinson gave the home side a perfect start but following Liam McIver's equaliser, Scott Fenwick struck the winner.
Danny Smart (2), James Allison and David McIntosh swept Birtley Town to victory at Easington Colliery for whom Ben Riding claimed an 89th-minute consolation goal.
Crook Town were surprisingly defeated by Seaham Red Star whose matchwinners were Kevin Gordon (2) and Johnny Monaghan. Kyle Davis had equalised for the Millfield side.

Here I am, on a Saturday night, feeling extremely bored and restless and I don't know what to do. The house is so different without you around. Even when you were reading Reader's Digest, I feel peace and don't mind falling asleep on the couch or bed. Now, I run out of things to do. Really bored.
Hope you enjoy your stay in Mauritius. For me, I am certain that this must be one of the best weeks this year (so far). A holiday is always good as we have our undivided attention to our partner. Hope that will keep the fire going.
After dropping you off the airport, I returned to the office. My housemate Chun Keat was still at work. I sent the driver off and waited for an hour for him. Meanwhile, my friends were at the Banana Café waiting for my arrival. It was supposed to be some sort of farewell drink for me. During the drink, Meng Kiong pulled me aside and shared with me the reason my rolling off. He explained to me that the decision was made purely based on cost (and not my performance etc.) Somehow, last Friday, Denis really pissed Meng Kiong off and he was thinking of rolling Denis off (this time is due to performance). He really wishes me to stay but just that it is too expensive to keep me in the project. To me, if the project really wants me to stay and if Jon Allaway wants me to stay, it shows something positive in my career. In fact, I am a bit worried returning to Singapore because the partners are trying to hold the fort for a few months (as Chun Keat was talking in the car) and if no project comes along, people will get fired. Those who sit at the bench will be the first one. Hence, suddenly there is an element of uncertainty here on my roll off date.
Chun Keat is still ICQ'ing his half half girlfriend. Although Rabin has called me out for dinner but tonight, I am just not quite up to a big group gathering. Probably have some decent food somewhere once he is done.
On second thought, this island is so boring and why would I want to stay any longer.
