- Really, just Rini's presence in general. She was not introduced in the main series at the time (and, if Word of God is to be believed, never will), and as a result, Serena is constantly asking who she is.

The minimally invasive endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair (EVAR) procedure involves making small incisions in the groin and threading catheter tubes through the femoral arteries and into the aorta.
A fabric covered metal stent is introduced through the artery and fixed in place, relieving pressure on the artery to prevent rupture. Patients remain conscious under local anesthesia during the procedure.
Patients who undergo EVAR have lower morbidity rates and shorter recovery times and can usually resume normal activity a week after surgery.

The bowl slipped from his hand, raising a small cloud of flour into the air. The egg shell cracked in his grip, egg white dripping onto the counter.
He took a sponge cloth to clean the mess, but had to stop halfway as a familiar smell made him curse under his breath: the butter had melted completely.
This was all wrong.
A half hour later, Hadden was chewing on a spongy, flavourless pancake.
Well, it was an improvement, on some level. At least this time he had managed to make them edible. But they still were nowhere near decent, let alone good. As good as Ian used to make them.
If he couldn't make pancakes, how could he cope to bake any of the rest?
Hadden had never learned to cook anything harder than a boiled egg. Living in the city, food was never more than a brisk walk away. Fast foods, street food, food stands, carts, restaurants, delis flashed their signs at every corner, inviting him to taste their delicacies. Why waste time in the sorry, cramped corner that his landlord had once enthusiastically called 'a bachelor's kitchenette'?
But now he was living in a ranch-style house in the rocky desert, a half-hour drive from the nearest food outlet. Sure, he could use Agartha to have dinner literally anywhere, but using the world tree meant there was a chance of meeting… them. His old friends. No, Ian's old friends. They had made that abundantly clear. They were not his friends.
The past week had been a rollercoaster, trying to explain to people the traumatic events of the few last months. He had expected understanding, compassion, offers of help. Naivete, of course. What he mostly got was suspicion, distrust, accusations, outright hostility.
There were still a few he had to talk to. He couldn't waste those chances as well. He had to be perfect.
And that meant, among other things, learning how to cook again.
Another pack of flour. Another carton of eggs. Milk, sugar, butter. Bowls and dishes and pans and griddles, whisks and wooden spoons. Everything laid out to perfection.
He opened his memories: all the steps were there. What to do, how to do it, executed to perfection by expert hands. His hands once, but not his hands now.
His hands now didn't know those movements.
Hadden took a deep breath. Weighed the flour, poured it into the bowl. One more time.
By the end of the day, Hadden was sick of pancakes. Metaphorically as well as literally.
The rational part of him knew that trying the same recipe over and over in the same day wasn't going to magically make them better. It was basically muscular rehabilitation. This was going to take time.
Time was what he was racing against, before he drove everyone else away.
He awoke to the sound of silverware on a dish.
Somewhere the previous night he had given up to the mix of frustration and exhaustion, and decided to go all in with the help oh half a bottle of that yellowish vodka Ian liked so much.
It had burned in his throat, but it had done its job.
Hadden groaned as he tried to stand from the couch. Having superpowers apparently did not make you immune from the kind of back ache that came from drunk sleeping on a surface that hadn't been meant to be used as a bed.
Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he gathered himself and went to check on his unexpected guest.
His heart rose a little as he spotted Marsyas at the breakfast table. It sunk again just as quickly as he saw what he was eating: the last batch of pancakes from yesterday, which he had not had the strength to throw away before collapsing.
The Greek man, apparently uncaring, was digging heartily into the pancakes, showered in a copious amount of maple syrup and melted butter. "Hey there. Good stuff. I mean, they're reheated, but I had worse."
Hadden was not sure if that was a compliment. He sat silently on the opposite side of the table, looking at the other man eating contentedly.
After a while, Marsyas finished his buffet, wiped his mouth with a napkin, then turned his eyes to the still befuddled Hadden. "You look like you need a whole pot of coffee to yourself. Do you know why I'm here?"
"You texted me yesterday in the middle of the night. Well, your night. Something about burnt butter and pancakes and a life not worth living."
Hadden laughed, despite himself. "Yeah. Uhm. Sorry. I get sad drunk sometimes. Especially when I'm already sad before."
Marsyas just smiled in return, then rose to grab a cup and pour a generous amount of coffee for his host. Half and half, sweetener, three stirs. Hadden accepted the cup with a smile, sipping from its contents. The warm liquid spread through his body, bringing him to wakefulness.
"I still can't believe you ate those. I meant to throw them away. They suck."
Marsyas leaned his head on his wrist, smiled. "And yet."
"It's true! I spent all day on them, and I couldn't make a single batch half as good as before."
"That's not the same thing though."
Hadden blinked. "Sorry?"
"That they're not the same as before. It doesn't mean they're bad. Did you even try them?"
"I can see it. The colour-"
Marsyas stabbed a piece of pancake from his dish, waved it threateningly at Hadden's face. "Try it."
"Try. It."
Hadden did as he was told. He chewed thoughtfully, trying to ignore the sweetness of the syrup and concentrating on the consistency of the cooked batter underneath. Maybe too much flour. A pinch less sugar. But all in all…
"OK. It's not bad."
Marsyas stacked a few of the remaining pancakes on a plate and pushed it toward Hadden. "Maybe it will never be the same as before. Maybe it will be worse, or better, or just different. That's not necessarily something bad."
Hadden smiled sincerely, for the first time in a week. "No. It's not."
"Oh, and make a new batch. We're bringing some to Charlie's bar."
"Wait. No. What?"
"You two are stupid and need to make good to each other."))

Boat People: Manus Island
Island home – island prison.
Manus Island, over 270 km north-east of the New Guinea's mainland, was recently brought to our attention via the manoeuvrers of Australian politicians. Attempts to bury social and racial problems by setting prison camps on the islands are not new. The deportation of Tasmanian Aborigines to Flinders Island in the 1830-40s and Queensland Aborigines to Palm Island in the 1920-60s are the outstanding examples. And so are Christmas Island and Nauru where asylum seekers were and are imprisoned – to punish people-smugglers.
Remote islands by their nature fortify the intensity of imprisonment, but also provide a veil of secrecy – a condition where human rights are more likely to be abused and ignored. The prison on Manus Island is enthusiastically endorsed by many Australians and held unacceptable by others. However Manus Island is a home to indigenous people whose life will be disrupted and altered, yet again, as a number of inmates could quickly grow to 10 or more percent of the entire native population of about 20,000 people.
From the late 19th through to the mid-20th century, Manusian people suffered, in turn, German and Japanese occupation, the heavy hand of Australian administration, a presence of a large American naval base – reaching about one million military personnel at its peak, and long years of neglect in health services, education and economic opportunities. Now, with a financial incentive, Australia is setting a large prison camp in an attempt to outsource our political problems to a community with modest means and a traumatic history during the colonial era.
Manusian people speak several languages of the large Austronesian language family, as well as Pidgin English. Traditionally they make their living by fishing and exchange-trade in contrast to the people of the Papuan mainland, who were viewed as predominantly food growers. Manusians are people of the sea and for them maintaining regular contact with other people scattered in the hundreds of islands of their province and beyond was and is a vital part of their life.
Early European visitors to the island were impressed with the intelligence, independence of character and the physical robustness of the people. 'They were quick to learn the white man's ways and quick too to reject them.' It was on Manus Island where Margaret Mead, a legendary American anthropologist, conducted her seminal study on the imagination and cultural attainment of children in 1929. The resulting book Growing up in New Guinea analysed human development in culture-specific, non-western context and, importantly, put to rest one of the popular but mistaken beliefs that 'primitive' people are like children.
It is ironic that native Manusians – an exemplary boat people of Melanesia – are to accommodate a prison camp for foreigners – an incidental boat people uprooted from their own homelands by wars and violent persecution.
Additional information:
Margaret Mead assembled a collection of artefacts on Manus Island - some of these artefacts are at the Australian Museum.

In my ongoing quest to become more organized, I'm trying to finish up a number of abandoned craft projects right now. One of these tasks is lining some knitted and felted bags. They've been waiting on me for a while! People seem to be uncertain how to line a bag, so I thought I'd share the process with you.
First up is this tote bag, which was knitted of Noro Hitsuji left over from a sweater, and some black Patons Classic Wool Roving. They're both bulky yarns, so this was a quick knit. That checkerboard pattern is called "entrelac" and it's a particularly good way to show off the colour changes in a Noro yarn. I didn't have a pattern for this, just knit the two sides, then added 2×2 stripes up the side and a black bottom. Then I felted it, and sewed on some black leather handles. You can read my project notes on Ravelry or check out my post here on the blog. This is the bag before it was felted.
Second on the list is this messenger bag, knit following a KnitPicks pattern called Sipalu. They used to sell this as a kit, but used a fine yarn and didn't felt it. I thought the results looked droopy and not very sturdy, so I bought the pattern on its own, then knitted it out of Patons SWS, which is a soy-wool blend that felts like mad. It's heavier, an aran weight. Instead of using a number of colours as the kit did, I just used a solid black and the self-striping red as the contrast colour. Then it was felted, too. The button is a lovely porcelain one handmade by a local artisan. You can read my project notes on Ravelry or check out the post here on the blog.
Bag number three is a humungous messenger bag, also knit of SWS and felted. It presents some challenges because of it's size. I thought it would shrink more when it felted, but was wrong. It's felted as far as it can go and still be useful, but still huge. It got the second of those handmade porcelain buttons – here it is, although it's waiting on a solution. You'll see why in a minute. Here are the Ravelry project notes on this one and here's my blog post about it.
The first thing I like to do with a bag is give the base more structure than just felted wool. I found these cutting boards at Ikea which are perfect. They're heavy plastic. You can cut them to size with an X-acto or Olfa knife. I cut mine to be the size of the base of the bag, and round the corners a bit. The colours aren't important because they won't show. Once the board is cut to size, I secure it to the base of the bag with bag feet. You can buy these from Ghee's online – probably other places, too – but I also found the ones with the price sticker at my local fabric store.
To do this, work four holes into the board in the right positions with an awl or even the point of one blade of scissors. Put the board inside the bag, in position. With one hand on the outside and one on the inside, match up the pins on the foot with the hole and push it through the bag and the board. (The first one can be tricky. Sometimes I have to push a pin through the board from the inside to know where to aim.) Once the pins of the foot are on the inside, you spread them wide to secure the foot in place. Once all four are done, the board isn't going anywhere.
Those spikes might snag on things inside the bag, but I'm going to line the bag anyway. The bag's interior will be protected!
Outside:It looks as if the plastic base is much wider than the bottom of the bag in this shot, but it's partly the bulk of the felted wool and partly how I folded it for the photograph. There's always a little bit of play, because a knitted wool square won't felt to be perfectly square.
These feet are a bit small, I think, especially for the Noro tote. If the bag was going to sit on the ground a lot – like this one, which is really a suitcase – I'd use bigger ones.
Outside on #2:
This bag is narrower, so I couldn't fold it like the one above. It is much more sturdy this way, though. The Sipalu bag also has another structural element. I had knit edges in solid red in reverse stockinette, thinking they'd roll, and they did. It was still a bit squishy. Before the felting, I sewed cord into those welts and stitched them closed, which made them into piping. Because the cord is cotton, I knew it would also shrink but at a different rate than the wool. I left the cord long and just knotted the ends. Once the bag was felted, I tugged the cords to be smooth along the edges, then trimmed and secured them. Here's how they look inside. You won't see any of this once it's lined.
The issue with the thistle bag is that the base is longer than the Ikea cutting boards – a lot longer! I'll probably use 6 feet on it and maybe bigger ones, but first I need to find a good base.
Next week, cutting and assembling the lining.

The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 allows workers to take a certain amount of unpaid leave from work to attend to family or personal health issues without fear of losing one's job.
It is an important protection, and employees who file FMLA claims may be entitled to receive money damages from their employer. That is, unless your employer happens to be the state of Florida, or any other state for that matter.
The U.S. Supreme Court recently delivered a ruling that could be a blow to any state employees who need to take FMLA leave to take care of their own medical needs (as opposed to members of their family).
The case before the Court involved an employee for the state of Maryland who was fired in 2007 for taking 10 days off under the FMLA to attend to personal health problems. He was fired from his job for taking time off.
Voting 5-4 along conservative-liberal lines, the Court said that states are granted sovereign immunity by the 11th Amendment, and therefore are protected against FMLA lawsuits that seek money damages.
There are approximately 5 million Americans who work as state employees, which means that this ruling could have far-reaching consequences. It is also fairly easy to see the dangerous precedent it could set for future employment lawsuits.
Criticizing the Court's ruling, the legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union said it could be especially harmful to women. He noted that, "Today's decision leaves women more vulnerable to sex discrimination and elevates states' rights over a woman's right to be free from unconstitutional sex discrimination, including pregnancy discrimination."

"Raw Nature"
This picture gives one the idea of the awesome power of nature. The forces at work in this photo are ancient and absolutely necessary in order for there to be life on this planet. This is a veritable cauldron of chemistry and energy – repeated on the average a 100 times per second planet wide.
Speaking of nature and energy, I hope you all got out and greeted the Solstice Sun on the 21st of this month. Well, if not, perhaps next year. The return of the sun to the north each year IS the most reliable event that is directly related to your very existence every day.
Winter Solstice sunrise - 2013
This is a part of our Medicine Wheel and solar calendar here at Shangri-La. The center stone, referred to by the Huichol as Tatawari (Grandfather) is often represented by a fire. We have a stone in the center in order to sight as perfectly as possible the Solstices and The Equinox. The rock balanced on the top of the center stone has an ancient pictograph of the four sacred directions painted on it. The sword rests against the Winter Solstice Stone and is a reminder of the pagan origin of the moment and the fight to preserve this ceremony as the one Judeo-Christian God got carried to and then dominated the west. When sighting across the top of the center stone and over the solstice stone the sun will be seen to rise above the solstice stone and marks the suns southern most position before starting back north towards the Equinox. Of course the sun doesn't really move it is the earth's tilt that creates the appearance of movement.
As in all cycles there is life and death…..and renewal. Peter O'Toole died on the 14th of December. I will miss seeing him in yet another guise as he masterfully created the characters he played. He was himself, a real character! I would have loved to carouse with Peter and Richard, eh!
Peter O'Toole in "The Lion in Winter"
And then there is the renewal. Remember my posting this picture of the newborn daughter of a couple of my fine students (Melissa and Jesse) some months back?
Melissa and Layla
Well here's Layla at her first Christmas.
Lyla's first Christmas
And on the theme of renewal, here's some interesting astronomy.
A "LIFE" planet?
We are now certain that Mars had plenty of water at one time, perhaps it lasted for over 500 million years. If so, there could very well have been life on Mars in the past. This is an artists rendering of what Mars may have looked like if the "sea floors" still contained water - no need to think of Tharks, just LIFE.
Mars a long time ago
With the new Gaia telescope that The European Union just orbited we expect to be able to discern atmospheric composition on distant planets orbiting other suns – what a hoot!! Atmospheric content, particularly in terms of the ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide will tell us much as to whether life may exist on that planet.
Gaia telescope
Here are two people really enjoying life. These are my neighbors Alex and Leslie Cook. Always a treat to have them in town - they are very sincere and generous supporters of my whale work. Looking forward to their next visit.
Alex kite surfed from El Cardonal to Los Barriles a few weeks ago – 15 miles, took him 70 minutes, hoohah! Leslie and I have had some of the most wonderful late night discussions ever. It's all about staying in tune with The Earth Pulse and there is NO BETTER way to do that then to be embedded in nature as much as possible.
"When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself."
Tecumseh (1768-1813)
Always having enjoyed the gift of a coordinated body and a love of sports I have engaged in them all my life. Here is a notice my daughter Kersti found in her files and a pic of the three young boys mentioned.

Here's a bit of good new info on humpback whale song. I had a "singer" under my panga a few years back (2005) and my two interns at the time, Lenee and Kristin, jumped right in to be with him.
Kristin (back) and Lenee - 2005 whale season
In the late 1960s, whale biologist Roger Payne and several colleagues did something a little unusual, and it paid off with spectacular results. The researchers dumped a microphone into the sea, hoping to listen in on the underwater conversations that Payne believed whales were having. But "some people weren't sure we were going to hear anything — they said it was just a waste of time," Payne recalled to a journalist at the time.
It worked better than anyone had imagined, however, capturing a remarkable array of creaks, groans, and moans produced by humpback and other whales. Recordings of the whale songs were soon selling out at music stores, and people around the world were debating the meaning of the haunting melodies. The discovery earned the humpback a new nickname: "Songster of the Sea."
Today, scientists know more than ever about the song of the humpback. They know, for instance, that while both male and female humpbacks can produce sounds, only the males appear to produce organized songs with distinct themes and melodies, almost always on breeding grounds. As NATURE's Humpback Whales shows, the males often sing while suspended deep below the surface, their long front flippers jutting rigidly from their sides. The songs can last up to 20 minutes, and can be heard more than 20 miles away. The male may repeat the same song dozens of times over several hours, and whales in the same geographic area sing in very similar "dialects." Song patterns can change gradually over time, so that new songs emerge every few years.
Researchers still aren't sure exactly how the whales produce the sounds. Whales don't have vocal cords, so they probably sing by circulating air through the tubes and chambers of their respiratory system. But no air escapes during the concerts — and their mouths don't move.
Scientists are also unsure about what the songs mean. Originally, observers believed they were a mating call, used to advertise the male's availability to passing females. This idea was reinforced when divers observed other whales approaching the singers.
More recently, however, some researchers have come to believe that the singing humpbacks are actually issuing threats, not singing love songs. In part, that idea arose because scientists discovered that many of the whales approaching singers were other males, and the meeting would often end in a tussle. "It looks like the singing whale is telling the other males who is the boss," says Gary Lyder, a whale biologist and whale watching guide.
Another recent theory is that the singing whales are simply finding out who is in the neighborhood, using the songs as a form of sonar for tracking nearby whales. But many scientists are skeptical of the idea, in part because the whales only seem to sing on breeding grounds.
Researchers may never be able to know for certain what the songs mean. But they continue to pore over recordings and replay the whale's greatest hits. And in the meantime, the virtuoso whale singers continue to hit their high notes, serenading an unseen audience deep in the blue-black sea, returning again and again to the stage for haunting encores.
The local baseball team played Los Barriles last week and were soundly defeated but not humbled.

El Cardonal fans
Everyone gathered at the cantina after the game for beer and cows head soup. Yeah, a bit much for me but you know how one must try everything. The taste was not bad but the image of the cows head in the pot was too much for me.
Real good friends of mine - Roxanne, Frank and Darrell - not as of the above
Roxanne and Darrel are the only other gringos that live here as fulltime residents. By the way, today is my 5th anniversary of living full time here in El Cardonal and still the only resident gringo.
I introduced my neighbor Frank Gavin to the joy of kayaking while he was here last week and though we didn't see any whales it was a great day out there – and he is hooked.
Frank Gavin - a convert to kayaking
I talk about my kayak a lot. It has been with me for over 12 years now and like a good horse it has never let me down. I have kayaked on "Haldjas" on The Mendocino coast, the county's rivers, Hawaii and all over The Sea of Cortez – a friend.
My trusty kayak, "Haldjas"
This is the sailing ship that tested my heritage. I sailed on Dariabar (a stay sail rigged schooner) from San Francisco to Hawaii in 1998.

And this guy - is he cool or what!!
One last word: again about the courtesy and good will of The Mexican People. I had to pay my Fidiocamiso (land title agreement) the other day in San Jose – 60 miles south. All went well until I was told I could not pay my FC fee in dollars if I didn't have my passport. I never carry my passport anymore because I have an FM2 and I keep three or four copies of my passport in my glove compartment. Whoops, used all my copies! I was told I could come back next Friday. I really don't like to drive to SJ more than absolutely necessary and I explained that to the folks at the bank. AGAINST all rules they agreed to do it on the basis of a Xerox of my 2008 passport (EXPIRED) that they had on file. Paid my fees, sent an e-mail pic of my new passport and received a nice note besides. Thank you Adriana and Adolpho! As my good friend Pam in Los Barriles said, "you've got good bank karma"!

Russian River Valley
As you move inland from the southern portions of the true Sonoma Coast, you hit the Russian River Valley, which is another region generally billed as a cool climate region, but one that also covers a lot of ground with varying elevations and exposures. As such, one can find a relatively broad range of styles here, though, if pushed, one would expect the prototypical RRV Chardonnay to show fruits that are a little riper than those found on the Sonoma Coast, yet with enough acidity to keep the wines bright and lively.
First up was the 2010 Duckhorn Wine Company Chardonnay Migration Russian River Valley ($30) which showed a classic Californian creaminess paired wth flavors that ranged from lemon and pineapple, to apple. The winemaking definitely showed through here, but its medium weight and lime-toned finish spoke of its origins. The 2010 Gallo Family Chardonnay Signature Series Russian River Valley ($25) followed, and while it also had a bit of a creamy texture, it showed an impressive array of mineral-tinged green apple and citrus flavors that accurately reflects a cooler climate example of Chardonnay. I've got to give it to the Gallo Family; they made a pretty convincing Chardonnay that many people are going to be surprised by.
South of the southern inland portion of the Sonoma Coast is the Carneros appellation, unusual because it straddles two counties: Napa and Sonoma. The appellation map was drawn this way because it was felt that the region as a whole shared certain traits, primarily the cooling effects of nearby San Pablo Bay and the winds that came through the Petaluma gap, and travelled south through the Carneros region.
To make this as interesting as possible I selected a wine from each county, beginning with the 2010 Schug Family Chardonnay Carneros ($25). Schug is as closely associated with Carneros, the Sonoma side to be specific, as just about anybody, and tend to have a rather low key winemaker's imprint on their wines, so I wasn't surprised to find their Chardonnay offered a crisp mouthful of green apple and lime flavors. This was a relatively rich wine, but it didn't lack for snap. In contrast, the 2010 Frank Family Chardonnay Reserve Lewis Vineyard Carneros Napa Valley ($55) was decidedly more opulent with a rich, creamy mouthfeel and flavors that drifted off towards tropical tones of mango and pineapple, leaving an impression of a decidedly warm clime than the Schug.

Spirit painting was a Delvian painting technique.
Zotoh Zhaan, amused at Rygel's attempts at a self-portrait, proceeded to show off her skills at spirit painting. When Rygel pointed out that the final product looked more like Rygel I than himself, Zhaan suggested that Rygel I's spirit must reside within Rygel. ("Exodus From Genesis")
Rygel treasured the spirit painting Zhaan had made for him, and it was displayed prominently in his quarters, especially after her death. In a fitting display of irony, the spirit painting was visible when Rygel viewed a message from his cousin Bishan, begging him to return to Hyneria.("Peacekeeper Wars: Part 1")

Traditionally, serious tooth infections or critically decayed teeth would always be extracted. However, today most of the teeth in these conditions can be saved, with extraction only being a last resort option.
Root Canal treatment is where the infected or irritated nerve tissue that exists in the root of the tooth is removed. Without the removal of this tissue, an abscess would inevitably occur.
Steps in Treatment of Root Canal
1. Initially, it is important to gain entry to the nerve that is the core of the issue. With the patient under local anaesthetic, this is done by creating a tiny hole in the top of the tooth.
2. The dentist must determine the length of the root canal and eliminate the infected pulp tissue.
3. Whilst the patient is still under local anaesthetic, the canal where the nerve is situated will be remodelled and equipped to receive a unique root canal filling substance. The procedure where the filling is inserted generally does not occur until the next visit. (It is important to note that the number of visits needed to finish the root canal depends entirely upon the number of nerves in the tooth and the level of infection of the nerve)
4. Finally, the root canal must be sealed with a sterile, plastic substance – gutta percha. This step is completed to avoid possible future infections.
5. Afterwards, it is possible that the tooth will require a post and core and a crown to revert the tooth to its regular form and function.
Do you need Root Canal?
There are multiple indications for the need for root canal treatment. These include erratic aching or throbbing when biting foods, increased sensitivity to hot and cold food and beverages and extreme decay or an injury that generates an abscess (infection) in the bone.
What does Root Canal feel like?
If treated promptly, the Root Canal procedure can be pain-free although uncomfortable, through the use of local anaesthetic.
Myths Associated with Root Canal
There is a common 'Old Wives Tale' associated with Root Canal that states that eliminating the nerve in the tooth causes it to become "dead". However, this is certainly not true as the tooth remains alive and can function normally as it still obtains a blood supply source and nerve supply from the tissues that grip it in place. Despite the tooth still being receptive to biting forces, it will have no sensation towards hot or cold beverages and food or sweets. Root Canal is an extremely successful procedure with success rates being as high as 95% and the tooth being able to last as long as the natural teeth.
It is possible that patients may suffer from some pain with their first or second root canal appointment if the infection has existed for a long time or if there are abscess. However, you will be provided with advice on how to reduce this discomfort, including possible antibiotics or prescribed analgesics. If any issues or pain does occur throughout your treatment, please do not hesitate to call us.
Home Care instructions post Root Canal Therapy
It is possible that you will experience discomfort after a treatment due to the irritation of bone around the tooth. This pain can either be mild or rarely can be substantial. However, this discomfort should reach its peak within 48-72 hours and slowly decrease thereafter. It is advisable to avoid biting or chewing using the treated tooth for at least 2-3 days following the treatment.
Throbbing Sensation
It is possible that you could experience a throbbing feeling in your tooth and if this occurs, it is recommended that you keep your head and neck raised and use one or two extra pillows to sleep on.Infection Minimisation -After the preparation for Root Canal, sometimes the tooth is left without the filling. If the tooth is left open, put a cotton ball in your tooth as guided by your dentist. This will help in the drainage of the infection. It is important to remove the cotton whilst eating or drinking.
If you experience swelling of your gum, rinse your mouth with a warm salt-water solution approximately every 1-2 hours. This solution can be made by combining a teaspoon of salt with warm water.
If you notice swelling of your face, apply ice to the swollen area for approximately 5 minutes ever half an hour.
If you have been prescribed antibiotic medication for infection, continue to take it as advised. It is imperative that you complete the whole course of antibiotics. However, if you experience any side effects, which may include a rash, gastric disruption or any trouble breathing, stop the antibiotics immediately and call our office or visit a local doctor.
If you have been prescribed other medication for discomfort take it as advised by the dentist or doctor. Please be aware that narcotic medications such as Vicodin, Demerol, Codeine and Percodan can make you feel lethargic. Hence, it is imperative that whilst you are consuming these medications you avoid working any heavy machinery, or from driving an automobile.
Dr Finkelstein prefers to send his patients to Endodontic specialists to perform root canal procedures.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
Dr Michael Finkelstein BDS

It's the most talked about show in TV history. How do we create an association of Game of Thrones with its Indian broadcaster Star World India? We put our fans in the world of Westeros! When the most talked about show in TV history came to India, we decided to plant the audience – in a personalised manner – into the world of the show. This resonated to produce a buzz worthy of the phenomenon that GOT is.
Game of Thrones, originally an HBO property, was airing on Star World India for the first time. How do we inform our audience of the show's new home?
Get the massive Game of Thrones fandom on Twitter to engage with @StarWorldIndia
Spread awareness that GOT Season 7 will now be airing on Star World
We observed that every Game of Thrones season was always announced with a poster which was celebrated, but it didn't really result in any engagement between Star World & the TG on the platform.
We observed 2 things –
1) More than 1 in 3 people using Twitter are millennials (under 29 years)
2) Millennials love taking selfies!
Our campaign stemmed from a Forbes Article - Millennials desire meaningful & tailored experiences. Thus, as we combined the observations & insight, we crafted a campaign that offers the most personalized experience a Game of Thrones fan can enjoy!
We asked fans to simply send a selfie to @StarWorldIndia with the hashtag #GOT7onSW to get personalized memorabilia that they'll never forget.
Fans sent us selfies that were edited in real time by a team of 50 designers. Within minutes, we tweeted out the edited selfies in the GOT 7 Poster and tagged the owner of the selfie.
The campaign was a terrific success, powered by close to 40,000 tweets from more than
10,000 fans including Celebs, PR Professionals & Influencers across the country!
This resulted in:
a) Over 800 personalised posters created
a) A Reach of more than 15 million people
b) Impressions amounting to almost 500 million

This week's episode of Fringe, "Through the Looking Glass and What Walter Found There", continues the search for the missing pieces to Walter's machine. And with a 90-degree spin into a pocket universe, the living component needed to defeat the Observers is revealed. But does a warning of Peter's grave mistake (from last episode) hint of a bigger threat waiting to be unleashed?
The story, like many in Fringe season 5, involves the Fringe team following Walter's previously recorded videos, attempting to retrieve the parts needed in order to assemble a machine to defeat the Observers. Fortunately, that is where all similarities cease. Because while this episode's adventure appears to be like many others we've seen in the passing weeks, a few welcome additions to the story has allowed Fringe to somewhat return to its series origins of mixing science and mystery to engage audiences, all while continuing to progress its overall goal.
Walter, knowing where to enter the pocket dimension, heads off on his own, leaving Peter, Olivia and Astrid to follow behind him. As Peter and Olivia enter the pocket universe with Walter's camcorder, leaving Astrid as watch, the entirety of what was recorded is revealed, as Peter and Olivia realize that you can only see the parts recorded from the pocket universe whilst being there. Though this could sound like any episode of Fringe this season, what follows helps to set itself apart from the rest.
Instead of simply looking for an item to help in their battle against the Observers, the video reveals that it is actually a child Observer (from an old case) that they should be looking for - which helps to ramp up the intrigue for those watching. Additionally, because the episode itself contains a relatively simple plot (search and retrieve – even if they don't), the story makes way for many nuanced character moments to shine, allowing Fringe season 5 to rid itself from the miniseries aspect it's since been presenting, transitioning into something that more resembles the show in its previous season.
Even though Walter, Peter and Olivia are ultimately unable to find their needed Observer, they know he's out there. What age will he be when they find him? That's another question. Even so, the purpose of this episode was to provide some much needed exposition from Olivia, Peter and Walter about everything that's happened in this season. Though successful to a point, more is always welcome – especially since Fringe season 5 does stem from a single episode in season 4.
As the episode comes to a close, fans receive a hint at what the biggest threat to come may be, as an Observer comments on Peter's decision to become an Observer himself before being killed by a transporting Peter. And, as expected, the Observer leader is watching everything unfold from a distance, leaving fans with a question: Is Peter becoming an Observer a grave mistake?
Even though the Observers have played a big part in Fringe, we still don't know much about them. Though we now know that a device in the back of their neck provides them with the abilities they have, we still don't know what the Observers were like before receiving the implant.
Since the Observers are, for all intents and purposes, scientists from the future, one could question how much of their humanity is impacted by receiving an Observer implant – and whether Peter will be affected the same. Season after season, Peter has continuously been the center of any and all battles Fringe has presented, so it would be right to assume that he will be again. Could this be the last battle "the boy who shouldn't exist" will be a part of?
[poll id="436"]
Fringe returns next Friday with "Five-Twenty-Ten" @9pm on Fox. You can check out a preview of next week's episode below:

Working Together
I set up Hassled to Happy Coaching to support and help self-employed business women and mums who, just like me, want to embrace the challenges of running their own business, whilst maintaining happiness in the other areas of their life.
Having been on my own journey of setting up a business, raising two beautiful girls and working at a happy marriage, I have been lucky enough to be able to use my coaching skills and experience to guide me through this process to where I truly feel happy and no longer hassled (well most of the time!).
Everything I do is about giving you the tools and confidence to know, no matter what life throws at you, that you can deal with it.
I believe the challenge of working for yourself, wanting to be the best mum possible, and finding your own pride and confidence from within is something all women should be able to enjoy.
Get the life you want…
With simple methods, great decisions and practical solutions, I know that all mums, given the right support, can enjoy the life they want, not the life they've got.
This is the most rewarding job I've ever done. Working with like-minded women who've shared similar challenges to me, gives me confidence to know I can help them to find practical solutions to match their own personal life issues.
Being a good mum, wife/partner, plus the many other roles we play can take its toll, overwhelm sets in and we become lost with whom we actually are. Giving them back their confidence is a great gift.
