So What Happens If You EAT the Frog?
Saturday, November 29, 2008
First, here's what the design is supposed to look like. (Sort of.)
Kinda cute, huh? Oh, and if that "frog" is looking more like a coiled snake to you, just take comfort in the fact that it's all downhill from here. Aw yeah.
First we have "Princess Pumps Iron":
Hear me now and believe me later: she is here to PUMP [clap] you up! Yaw.
I'm not sure what to make of the pile o' frog there. For the life of me I can't figure out what those little black dots are supposed to be - freckles? Warts?
The misspelled inscription on this one is intentional. The mannish princess and bizarrely splayed frog, however, are not.
And you know I always save the best for last:
Now I know it's hard, but try to look past the evil-villain eyebrows for a moment. I mean, there's so much more Wreckiness here to behold! There's the noodle fingers, the complete lack of legs and feet, the chipmunk nose! And let's not forget the "frog", who has devolved into a levitating stack of green bowling balls. Thank goodness he's got his black dots, though; it's nice to know the decorator has his/her priorities straight.
Thanks to Lauren A., Abby B., & Natalie R.!

Your blog is insanely funny. I will never visit a bakery again without searching for a wreck!
- November 29, 2008 at 9:49 AM
Ugh! What a horrible cake design.. even the original is vile! The princess in the original looks like she's wearing a dress made of carrots!
And since when does the princess have a wand?
I love how the original cake is for a 30th birthday party too.. nothing like taking your time with the whole growing up thing. - November 29, 2008 at 9:52 AM

That last one is still probably better than I could do.
Angie (from over at www.HalfAssedKitchen.com) - November 29, 2008 at 9:56 AM
My son's best friend has had this cake 2 years on a row! She loves it, not sure why?? (She was only 8 when it started, maybe that's why!)
It's horrendous, yet everytime I go to Costco, they have one for display, so obviously people keep ordering it!
And then you Jen for bringing a little fun into my day, each and every day! For that I thank you!!

The poor poor children who were the recipients of these cakes (including the 30 yr old girls & boy on the 1st cake)... and if you DO eat the frog... well... we hope you'll live to tell about it.

See, this is why I drink Bailey's for breakfast.
The first frog looks like the junkyard owner in a Star Wars movie. The rest are sad but the last is scary. Very scary with the built up icing on the princess face, no legs and evil face. Ick. Sadly, the only wrecky things I can find around here are ice cream cones stuck on the corners of cakes then filled with icing in primary colours. Perhaps I'll have to take a pic of that for ya'll

Too funny! And your commenters help me notice stuff---like the dress of carrots. And yeah, princesses kiss frogs, they don't whomp them with magic wands. I hesitate to ask for princess frog kissing on a cakewreck.

This post caught the attention of my 3 yr old twins. They thought the bowling-ball-frog was a baby bear?! And on Arika's cake, they insisted the frog was a butterfly. ;)

Yupperdoodles. Jen even put it in the post under the pic.

Haha! This was my wedding shower cake. My mom is very loyal to Costco cakes because of the layer of mousse filling they put in them, but apparently they only offer 6 designs. Thank you for bringing this cake to everyone's attention!

Jen, did you intentionally skip the um... "phallic" nature of the last frog? Oh my!!

At least the writing's nice on the Princess Pumps Iron wreck. Thanks for my morning laughs. Loved every day since finding your site.

The frog on Julia's cake looks like he has to go to the bathroom.
The "It's a Girl" inscription was just a waste of icing. If those green frog breasts don't clue you in, I don't know what will. - November 29, 2008 at 11:59 AM
- Deirdrea said...
Actually the 2nd one, "pumping you up" not withstanding, is the best out of all of these wrecks. All 3 of them deserve to be here but the 2nd one really is the best. The frog even looks the most frog like in that cake.
- November 29, 2008 at 12:01 PM
I am so glad that I have a son & not a daughter.
- November 29, 2008 at 12:18 PM
- Bri said...
The creator of that last one needs some time in a corner to think about their actions.
I find number 3 strangely endearing though. I like the scalloped border the most on that one...and the frog's eyes a too cute. - November 29, 2008 at 12:21 PM
I actually think that the second one looks better than the first. I mean, sure, maybe the princess is pumping invisible iron, but at least she looks more like a princess and less like Raggedy Anne dressed as a clown. Also, the frog at least has all of his limbs (the first one looks like it's fore legs have been ripped off). And the black dots? There are many frogs that are green with black speckled skin, which I think is what they're trying to get at. Even the first frog has some black dots trying to be there. All of the others are just plain scary, however.

I must say, I like the Princess Pumps Iron cake better than the original.

I actually think the second one doesn't look half bad.

I believe the black "plague" dots are supposed to be the frogs' warts??
But I'm gonna stick to believing that the frog is suffering from the Black plauge. - November 29, 2008 at 1:30 PM
- ~teachmom~ said...
I actually think the 2nd is better than the first, but I do see where there's a problem here....esp. with that last! Whew! And we DO pay these "professionals," right!? Sighs.

When I pulled up the last cake pic, my 4 yo daughter came over and said, "Ohhh look Mommy, a mean clown and a green bear!".
- November 29, 2008 at 2:20 PM
I recognize this cake! It was featured on dooce.com when Heather's mom bought one for Leta's birthday.
I just found it in the archives - http://www.dooce.com/2008/02/05/newsletter-month-forty-eight
Her description of the cake: "I think that's supposed to be a princess? Maybe someone's sickly Aunt Maude who battles recurring goiters?" - November 29, 2008 at 2:26 PM

I kind of liked the second one, for a three year old, anyway!
- November 29, 2008 at 3:58 PM
- Wenike said...
Poor Mark, his 30th birthday cake has a princess and a frog on it. Is he supposed to be the frog (and Candice and Julie alternate as the princess)? With the 3 names, it almost screams as a workplace cake and bad planning, since it looks like someone ran to the grocery store, picked a pre-made cake and demanded the inscription.
- November 29, 2008 at 4:01 PM
- Jenn said...
Aw those poor little froggies. Obviously someone, somewhere, is dining on frog legs... especially the last one.
- November 29, 2008 at 4:30 PM
- Jenny's Vegcafe said...
My daughter Julia was the "poor recipient" of the 4th birthday cake and she thought it was awesome.
And they did a much better decorating job than I could have.
We all have our opinions, I just wish you hadn't lifted my daughter's birthday cake picture from my webpage to make fun of it. It was a happy day for all of us and this just makes me sad. - November 29, 2008 at 4:38 PM
Dear Jenny,
Sorry about that. Almost all of our pictures are sent in by readers and we don't ever go onto other blogs and "lift" photos. The picture has been removed.

AAAAGGHHHH! It's attack of the killer frogs w/ their evil smiles & black dots! Plus the whole princess thing. Some of those are, well, I just don't think I can go there!
- November 29, 2008 at 6:06 PM
Cake #2 is better than #1. The princess doesn't have pumped up delts, she has puffed sleeves! You know, the kind Anne-spelled-with-an-E longed for.
And people? Read Jen's comments *as well as* look at the pics. The intentionals are usually spelled out there for you. - November 29, 2008 at 6:51 PM

HAHA. I love your website!
I have noticed, in the last few weeks here, a few Douglas Adams references, and I cried a little each time. I'm just now getting around to commenting about it, but whatever. Things get busy sometimes. (:

Actually I think "Princess Pumps Iron" is the best rendition. But the frogs could all use a little work. Personally, I like this frog:
:) - November 29, 2008 at 7:08 PM
Yikes. That first cake is most definitely not what it's supposed to look like. The second is near spot on what the sample cake looks like in the pic at Costco though. We got one for my neice's blessing and it was way cute. Actually, I always order cakes from Costco (because they taste so darn good) and every time I pick one up I'm hoping for a wreck that I can send here and have yet to ever get a wreck-worthy cake. It's always a relief and a sad moment at the same time. lol
- November 29, 2008 at 8:05 PM
You have to give the last cake credit... they used it's correctly.
- November 29, 2008 at 8:11 PM
- Unknown said...
Awww... well I at least like the green fire on the last one. That is green fire right??

FINALLYYYYYYYY YAYYYY the Princess and The Frog wrecks as promised! :D

under the last cake's frog it should read "save the ta-tas!"

- Peas on Earth said...
Oh my! :-)
By the way, I disagree with the person who said he/she wouldn't buy a shirt simply because they had your website on them. Oh, Pooh! Isn't that the whole point?? In fact, just before I read that comment I was thinking I needed to comment that the deer in flames shirt needed the URL on it!
Wreck on! :-) - November 29, 2008 at 10:30 PM
- Maomie said...
Oh no...but it's hilarious!

That princess on the last cake had some very scary eyelashes - in fact they looked a bit like my dad's out of control eyebrows!
- November 30, 2008 at 1:20 AM
- Unknown said...
Uhh... Why does the princess have a beard?
- November 30, 2008 at 11:10 AM
- Serena said...
Personally, I think the second one is actually a bit better than the first... who are Candice, Julia, and Mark, and why would they want a Princess & Frog cake for their 30th birthday? (That was 30th, right?)
At least the 3 year old has a pretty white background, and a prettier-looking princess. The first princess... well, she didn't look so great. - November 30, 2008 at 11:20 AM
- ~Jenn ODonnell Danza~ said...
Forget balls that frog's got boobs!
- November 30, 2008 at 1:40 PM
I think the magic wand is supposed to be a scepter.
And I'm with Cindi's 3 year olds - that frog does look like a butterfly (in drag, perhaps?).
My first take of Cake #1 was that it was a cruel commentary on some 30 year old's birthday. As in "Ha Ha, you're not married". But the fact it was to 3 people (one ostensibly male), kinda blew that theory. Just as well. That would have been a mean BD cake. Then I read the comment that someone got that for their bridal shower!!! Well, I suppose as long as they enjoyed the joke it's all good. - November 30, 2008 at 1:41 PM
- Misty said...
I'm so sorry that there were more wrecks of this cake out there. I almost didn't buy that darn eyebrowed princess when I saw her, but I had to because I was already running late to the baby shower. I still feel bad about it, sorry Nat. She was horrid.
Misty - November 30, 2008 at 4:07 PM

love the cakes they are too funny - November 30, 2008 at 6:41 PM

Okay those cakes are frightening!
Love your blog--I knwo find myself wishing I carried a camera around when I shop, cuz I've seen some real doozies lately! Especially Turkey-themed cakes...{{{{{Shudder}}}}.
THanks for sharing!
http://momza.blogspot.com - November 30, 2008 at 10:42 PM
i think the second cake is better than the example cake. the first one looks like the princess is made out of a giant...you know. also, the colors are better on the second one.
- November 30, 2008 at 11:00 PM
- Scritzy said...
Some apologies to Neil Diamond here ...
Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed
Of being a cake ...
And then became one.
Well, except for the tips and some pretty bad icing,
If you talk about these,
The story's the same one.
Thanks for making me wash a contact right out of my eye with tears of laughter!
Word verification: untswarc. I'm not even going there. - December 1, 2008 at 1:20 AM
So, the frog & princess cake for a 30 year old? Is that supposed to be a dig that she's still single?
- December 1, 2008 at 8:34 AM
I actually liked the two ones in the middle... O_o It was kinda cute in a child's drawing kinda way.
- December 1, 2008 at 10:40 AM
what about the breasts on all of the princesses?? Very strange.
- December 1, 2008 at 11:36 AM
Actually, I like the third one best and the second one is better than the first. The frog is cute and the fairy princess (hence the wand) is bearable.
- December 2, 2008 at 7:59 PM
eeek, even the first cake is wierd! the frog has a schnoze, the chocolate, purple and orange make her look like a halloween witch instead of a birthday princess.
The cake should be created to begin with, let alone replicated. - December 3, 2008 at 11:45 PM
- Chelsea said...
I haven't read through all the comments, so I may have missed a mention, but..
Ok, am I the only one who noticed the oddly phallic crown on the frog on the last cake? Or fireworks shooting out of the head of the frog in another one?
What the heck? - December 4, 2008 at 9:37 AM
- lunchstealer said...
The bottom couple of frogs look an awful lot like they've got three eye-stalks growing out of their heads.
- December 5, 2008 at 11:16 AM
- Red Wolf said...
#3 is not a frog. It's a frog-leafed clover. Very rare.
- December 11, 2008 at 8:39 PM
- Unknown said...
cake number 3, that's not even a frog. it's a green butterfly "standing" (floating would be a better word, perhaps) on the floor for some incoherent anatomical reason.

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Where's the book?
We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.

If you've been thinking about investing in real estate, getting your finances in order before you start searching for properties and scheduling appointments will save you from money headaches in the long run.
Real estate investments could be one of your largest investments, and unless you have cash ready to invest, you'll need a plan for financing and a plan for cash flow in the future. Here's what you need to do before heading out to property shop:
1) Create A Financing Plan
If you have strong credit, consistent W-2 income, and a sizeable down payment, traditional financing could be your best option for your first real estate investment since interest rates are typically low and the terms are attractive. Figure out how much you can afford based on your current expenses, and how much cash you'll need to have on hand for renovations and upgrades. Make sure you know where your liquid funds will come from to improve your chances of landing a good deal. With cash, you can move faster, which will motivate most sellers.
2) Review Your Credit Report And Keep It Healthy
Request a copy of your credit report through one of the credit bureaus and make sure you dispute any errors or provide an explanation for any derogatory issues or late payments. Keep your credit score from slipping by avoiding any new credit inquiries, canceling any credit accounts, or lowering your limits with any creditors.
3) Get Mortgage Pre-Approval
- Personal documents: Two forms of government-issued ID, your social security number, as well as proof of ownership of other property, including your primary residence or other investment properties.
- Tax returns: For the previous year, and potentially for the last two years.
- Proof of income: W2s, paycheck stubs, 1099s, or if you're self-employed, a year-to-date profit and loss statement.
- Proof of assets: Bank statements, 401Ks, IRAs, and money held in stocks or mutual funds.
- Summary of all debt: Primary property loan(s), credit card balances, student loans, and all monthly payment amounts.
4) Stay Competitive By Doing Your Homework
Just because your financing is approved, doesn't mean you're ready to start shopping. Do some comparison shopping and contact other lenders to see what kind of interest rate they can offer. A few percentage points might not seem significant, but can save tens of thousands or more over the lifetime of a loan and affect your monthly cash flow. Consider checking with a bank other than the one you bank with; they might be very likely to be more competitive to win new business.
5) Liquid Funds
Based on your financing plan, you'll have figured out how much cash you need to have in hand for a down payment and closing costs. Also factor in how much cash you'll need for renovations or repairs if the properties you'll be considering aren't turn-key. Consider your cash flow from month to month to make sure you're not projecting negative cash flow. Or if you are, that you have a backup source of cash such as drawing from your personal accounts.
The goal of real estate investing is usually to make money. As your investment style evolves and matures as a real estate investor, the amount of risk you can withstand is bound to change. Keep your original goals in mind, and do your homework to help position yourself to enjoy the financial returns.

Why Your Business in Deerfield Beach Needs SEO
You probably already know your business needs SEO, but what does that look like exactly?
Brick-and-mortar: Mobile searches rise every year for "near me" businesses. The first page of Google, or top ten results, receives over 90% of all search volume. While local searches are largely tied to the physical location of the user, your business can expand its reach to a larger geographical area. It's also likely that your business isn't populating for searches where it should.
E-commerce & Retail: Brand awareness can be the #1 determining factor when it comes to the effectiveness of your sales and promotional campaigns. If your product is more niche, SEO can become a large driver of direct sales over time. Most SEO strategies for e-commerce and retail brands is focused on creating brand awareness with your target market.
Brands: Establishing yourself as an industry leader is easier when you populate for every relevant search related to your industry. When pen meets paper, everyone should have confidence that they are working with an established, trustworthy company. Great SEO is one of the many ways you can establish expertise and thought leadership in your industry.

The Historic Index is a cornerstone in SEO and digital marketing, offering an unparalleled database of backlinks that serves as the backbone for SEO and Link Building Strategies to boost your online presence.
The Historic Index is available on PRO plans and above. Subscribe now to get access to the biggest commercial database of backlinks on the market today, providing historical insights from 2006.
This database is not a mere collection of backlink data; it is an organised and comprehensive backlink checker capable of capturing the essence of the internet's link structure. Created through sophisticated web crawling technologies, the Historic Index by Majestic addresses a fundamental question: "Who has linked to this web page?". Historic Index data provides suggestions to answer this and many other related questions, which are key in identifying the most successful digital marketing strategies. Digital professionals such as domain name traders, search engine optimisers and forensic SEOs use our Historical Index to harness the power of backlink analysis in hindsight.
The Majestic Historic Index is the biggest commercial database of backlinks on the market today, providing historical insights from 2006: critical backlink data to understand websites and successfully navigate the complexities of online visibility and website ranking.
Backlink indexes are specialist databases that contain copies of the web's link structure. These databases are populated by web crawling software and attempt to answer the question, "Who links to this web page?". Backlink Indexes are used by Digital Marketing Professionals, in particular Domain Name Traders and Search Engine Optimisers ("SEOs").
In a perfect world, the web would be one big, organised entity where everyone could contribute and earn legitimate visibility. Being an organised entity, it would be easy to explore and navigate. Understanding how pages are connected would also be just as easy. For example, we would have access to an "index" where we could find links between pages: from a more technical perspective, we could have access to an API (Application Programming Interface) that developers would use to build easy-to-use backlink checkers between websites. In this perfect world, software tools for SEO would all provide the same Backlink Index with their backlink checkers, all reflecting an accurate and up-to-date snapshot of the entire web.
But the world is imperfect, and so is the web - largely an unknown place, similar to the dark depths of the deepest ocean beds. Technically speaking, the web is decentralised, and there is no API. There is nowhere to plug an API into. Because of this, companies make backlink checkers.
Reaching and exploring the ocean's depths is a fascinating yet practically impossible task, as is indexing the entire web. Millions of new pages go live every day, and just as many are deleted - we cannot crawl, process and record the entire internet:
We designed and created a backlink checker with a "contemporary view of the web". We aim to provide Web Agencies, expert SEOs and Digital Marketers with an accurate and reliable backlink checker to identify new opportunities to build backlinks and network with theme-related websites. The Historic Index provides an up-to-date index with over FIFTEEN years of backlink data, dating back to June 2006. The Historic Index provides some of the rarest commercially available backlinks of the web.
Here are some of the most important uses of the Historic Index, where thousands of professionals find answers to some of the most challenging (and rewarding) problems in SEO and Digital PR.
Forensic SEOs specialise in identifying and solving issues that cause a website to lose organic traffic. Forensic SEO involves a detailed and thorough investigation of many technical aspects, ranging from a website's infrastructure to on-page elements and backlink profile analysis. The objective is to identify penalties, technical problems, or strategic errors negatively impacting organic search performance. This process often requires delving into the website's historical data, algorithm updates, and adherence to search engine guidelines.
The Historic Index can be used as a toxic backlink audit tool to help clients recover from penalties and build Disavow lists for Google. Our historic backlink data provides strategic insights on backlinks thanks to our comprehensive and wider reach that includes the worst parts of the internet: low-quality directories and spam sites with anchor texts that focus on medical pills, online casinos and sites that exist in adult categories. Detailed forensic SEO analysis require a HUGE index and massive data extracts but are not as interested in today's best links or their Link Context.
The Historic Index can help forensic SEOs in any of the following activities:
A domainer is an individual or entity buying, selling, and developing domain names intending to profit from their use or resale. Professionals in the field are similar to investors in real estate on the internet. Domain names are valuable assets because they can attract web traffic, establish brand identity, and generate revenue through advertising or resale at a higher price.
Domainers need to have a keen understanding of the domain name market, including factors that influence the value of a domain: for example, domain name length and memorability, keyword relevance, and market demand. Another crucial element is the backlink profile history. Successful domainers will download and examine backlink profiles in great detail to learn everything there is to know about a domain name. Data from the Historic Index provides insights into the evolution of a website (pages that existed in the past) and their backlinks, Trust Flow, Citation Flow, and Topical Trust Flow.
The data provided by the Historic Index can help domainers in any of these activities:
SEOs work alongside web designers and agencies tasked with launching a new website under a previously used and subsequently deleted domain. Understanding its past is crucial when a domain transitions from one ownership to another. The Historic Index offers insights into the domain's previous reputation, including Trust Flow and Citation Flow values, and the nature of its content through Topical Trust Flow. This data can help assess whether the existing backlink profile aligns or contrasts with the new company's vision and line of business. Moreover, it aids in identifying if the backlink profile inherited from the domain's previous activity contains spammy or toxic links.
With this data, SEO professionals can devise the most effective strategy to mitigate possible negative effects from the historical backlink profile. This may involve outreach efforts to remove undesirable backlinks, thus ensuring the new website's optimisation starts on the right foot and is not penalised by its predecessor's digital footprint.
The Majestic Historic Index offers legacy insights into a website's backlink structure, providing SEO professionals and Digital Marketers with legacy backlink data to optimise online visibility and website rankings. By leveraging over fifteen years of backlink data, users can understand past performance, assess the quality and relevance of backlinks, and make informed decisions for future strategies. Whether it's identifying toxic backlinks, understanding the historical context of a domain, or discovering new link-building opportunities, the Historic Index is an indispensable tool for navigating the complexities of digital marketing.
Don't let historical backlink data be an untapped resource in your SEO strategy. The Majestic Historic Index can help transform your approach to digital marketing with data-driven insights.

Born to chew
Olduvai Hominid 5 (OH 5) is easily the most famous of the early human fossils found at Olduvai Gorge. It is a nearly complete cranium of an adult male P. boisei. Originally named Zinjanthropus boisei, its classification was changed to Australopithecus boisei and later Paranthropus boisei, placing it in the same genus as the southern African species. The fossil is still referred to today as "Zinj", in reference to its original name.
The South African species Paranthropus robustus provided the original standard for the robust cranial form: a large sagittal crest on the top of the skull, a flat face formed by large zygomatic arches positioned far forward and megadont cheek teeth. But with the discovery of "Zinj" in eastern Africa, a new level of robusticity was defined, sometimes called "hyper-robust". Notice the wide zygomatic arches which project forward of the nasal opening and form the dished-shape face typical of Paranthropus boisei. The outward flaring of these bony arches from the side of the head provided space for large temporalis muscles. These were the huge chewing muscles that passed from the lower jaw to the large sagittal crest atop the skull. In some cases, the megadont cheek teeth of Paranthropus boisei were four times the size of our own.

The Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship. Whether we are baptized as infants or adults, Baptism is the Church's way of celebrating and enacting the embrace of God.
The Eucharist, or Communion, is both a sacrifice and a meal. We believe in the real presence of Jesus, who died for our sins. As we receive Christ's Body and Blood, we also are nourished spiritually and brought closer to God.
The Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as Penance, or Penance and Reconciliation) has three elements: conversion, confession and celebration. In it we find God's unconditional forgiveness; as a result we are called to forgive others.
Reconciliation – St Michael's, Saturdays 10:15am & 5:30pm or any time by arrangement with Father.
Confirmation is a Catholic Sacrament of mature Christian commitment and a deepening of baptismal gifts. It is one of the three Sacraments of Initiation for Catholics. It is most often associated with the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
For Catholics, the Sacrament of Marriage, or Holy Matrimony, is a public sign that one gives oneself totally to this other person. It is also a public statement about God: the loving union of husband and wife speaks of family values and also God's values.
Holy Orders:
In the Sacrament of Holy Orders, or Ordination, the priest being ordained vows to lead other Catholics by bringing them the sacraments (especially the Eucharist), by proclaiming the Gospel, and by providing other means to holiness.
Anointing of the Sick:
The Catholic Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, formerly known as Last Rites or Extreme Unction, is a ritual of healing appropriate not only for physical but also for mental and spiritual sickness.

What is an Endodontist Albuquerque, NM
People may not realize that there are multiple forms of care within the field of dentistry. The teeth are more complex than some people realize, with layers of protection, nerves and blood vessels, while also connecting to the gums and jawbone. If something happens to any of the layers of the tooth, the body can feel repercussions from the damage.
The type of issues an endodontist treats
A professional endodontist is a dentist who completes the extra training to specialize in maintaining teeth through procedures that involve the soft tissue of the teeth. The soft tissue of the teeth is also known as the pulp, which contains the nerves and blood vessels of the tooth. When a patient seriously damages his or her teeth, it is important to seek professional care from a specialist. A general dentist will not have the expertise or tools to treat serious damage, where an endodontist does.
The type of issues an endodontist treats
While minor issues such as plaque buildup or even a minor chip in the tooth may only need the services of a general dentist, there are many other issues that require specialist services. An endodontist provides treatment for:
- Chipped teeth
- Broken teeth
- Infected teeth
- Cracked teeth
- Inflamed/infected dental pulp
- Dental abscess
These are only some of the potential conditions that endodontists provide a more detailed level of care. Endodontists have the expertise to accomplish more than simply cleaning a tooth. If a patient is struggling with a broken or cracked tooth, the damage can spread to the pulp. Once the damage reaches the pulp of the tooth, the pain will intensify and eventually cause an infection.
An endodontist will be able to identify the source of the infection, remove the infected or inflamed pulp, and then cover the tooth back up. This way, the patient will be able to continue using the natural tooth and not feel much or any pain. Contrary to popular stigma, an endodontist does not want to immediately extract teeth. In fact, an endodontist will do everything possible to protect the tooth in question.
An endodontist values natural teeth over artificial ones. Having a tooth is better than not having a tooth, since the process of resorption will leech calcium from the jawbone and alter the appearance of one's face. While we live in a world where there are multiple options for artificial teeth replacements, the natural teeth will always be the preferred teeth of professionals.
By removing the infected root in a root canal procedure, an endodontist can save the shell of the tooth and relieve the patient of all pain. The endodontist will then cover the tooth up with a crown that protects the empty space of the root and allows the individual to continue eating whatever he or she likes.
Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: What is an Endodontist Albuquerque
The process
While some general dentists offer basic root canal services, they will not have the necessary expertise or technology to deal with serious cases. Thus, visiting an endodontist is crucial for anyone who is experiencing intense pain in their teeth. The process for visiting an endodontist is fairly simple. The first step will be to either call ahead or receive a recommendation.
The endodontist will attempt to schedule you in for an appointment as soon as possible. However, if the situation is an emergency, then the endodontist will attempt to see you immediately. In some cases, an endodontist may offer weekend services for special cases. After scheduling an appointment, the endodontist will recommend the most effective method to ease the pain while waiting for the appointment.
In most cases, using an ice pack wrapped in a cloth to the cheek can help. In other cases, over-the-counter pain medication may help. Ask an endodontist for advice and recommendations on what to do. At the appointment, the endodontist will examine the tooth and ensure that a root canal is the most effective treatment. If a different treatment is necessary, the endodontist will explain the details and answer any questions before beginning.
If the patient needs endodontic surgery, then the endodontist will use anesthesia so the patient does not feel any pain during the procedure. If the patient is going through surgery, then the endodontist will put the patient to sleep. When the surgery is complete, the patient will wake up and be sent home with specific directions about proper care. Depending on the procedure, the patient may need to schedule a ride home and avoid driving for a few hours.
It is also recommended that you take at least the rest of the day off to heal and maybe even the next day. It may take a few days before the teeth are fully functional and ready to eat food. An endodontist will go over all of this with you prior to the surgery so that you can prepare ahead of time.
If you live in the Albuquerque area, call (505) 359-2289 to schedule your dental exam so that you can remain in good health or receive treatment for a current condition.

A secret surveillance court has issued a very rare public defense of the U.S. program that collects massive data on phone calls. The court wrote that this program which stores numbers and call times but not content, we're told, does not violate privacy rights.
The American Civil Liberties Union countered that it is folly to trust privacy decisions to a secret court.
INSKEEP: The program was made public in leaks by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden. Investigators are unraveling just how Snowden got those NSA documents and we'll hear about that in a few minutes.
MONTAGNE: First, we look at another instance in which Snowden's revelations have impacted U.S. relations with the world. Yesterday, Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff postponed an October visit to the U.S. in response to the NSA spying on her and her country. NPR's Lourdes Garcia-Navarro reports from Rio de Janeiro.
LOURDES GARCIA-NAVARRO, BYLINE: The Snowden revelations have had global impact, but nowhere has the fallout been as dramatic as Brazil. Over the past few months, committees have been formed in Congress to investigate the various claims that the NSA has spied on ordinary Brazilians, Dilma Rousseff herself, and the state oil company, Petrobras.
Even her predecessor, Inacio Lula da Silva, was reportedly urging the president to cancel her visit to Washington, and yesterday she did. The White House was left stumbling explain what had happened. Here's spokesman Jay Carney.
JAY CARNEY: Yeah, this is an important relationship. We understand the president understands the concerns raised by these disclosures and we're working with the Brazilians on this matter, and we'll continue to do that.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: This was supposed to the first state visit by a Brazilian leader in two decades. The U.S. has been trying to woo the South American giant and increase economic ties. And while there's no doubt that Brazil is furious over infringements on its sovereignty, many analysts pointed to domestic politics as one of the main motivators of President Rousseff's cancellation.
After massive protests this summer, the president's popularity has taken a hit. As one editorial put it in the biggest daily here, Folha de Sao Paulo, never was there an easier decision for President Dilma Rousseff. No Latin American leader has ever lost political points for facing down the Yankees. And that seemed to be the case on the streets of Rio. In a busy square where a street band was playing, Viviani Arellas says she thinks Dilma did the right thing.
VIVIANI ARELLAS: (Through interpreter) I think it's the minimum she could've done. I think we need an accounting about the spying. We can't accept what they've done. Brazil has already followed too much from the U.S. as it is.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: One of the main figures in all of this is journalist Glenn Greenwald. He lives in Brazil, speaks fluent Portuguese, and authored the string of revelations about the NSA spying here in the local press. In an interview with NPR, Greenwald says he doesn't think it's surprising that Dilma decided not to go to the White House.
GLENN GREENWALD: So I expected that it would be a global story and then I knew once we started really investigating and seeing just how personal the spying was on the most important political figure in the country, as well as the country's most important corporation that's publically owned that supports a lot of social programs and the like, I had a good idea that it was going to resonate.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: He says Brazil has been incredibly supportive of his work. The Congress took the initiative to give him round-the-clock protection at this home. They've also called on him to testify on what he's uncovered in the files Snowden gave him. For many in Brazil, he's become a hero. Greenwald says there are more revelations to come.

Understand the principles of security management.
. In understanding information security management, there are a number of principles you need to know to create a managed security program. These principles go beyond firewalls, encryptions, and access control. They are concerned with the various aspects of managing the organization's information assets in areas such as privacy, confidentiality, integrity, accountability, and the basics of the mechanisms used in their management.
Know what management's responsibility is in the information security environment.
. Management cannot just decree that the systems and networks will be secure. They must take an active role in setting and supporting the information security environment. Without management support, the users will not take information security seriously.
Understand risk management and how to use risk analysis to make information security management decisions.
. Managing security is the management of risk. Knowing how to assess and manage risk is key to an information security management program.
Know how to set policies and how to derive standards, guidelines, and implement procedures to meet policy goals.
. Policies are the blueprints of the information security program. From policies, you can set the standards and guidelines that will be used throughout your organization to maintain your security posture. Then, using those standards, you can create procedures that can implement the policies.
Set information security roles and responsibilities throughout your organization.
. From management to the users, everyone who has access to your organization's systems and networks is responsible for their role in maintaining security as set by the policies. Understanding these roles and responsibilities is key to creating and implementing security policies and procedures.
Understand how the various protection mechanisms are used in information security management.
. Protection mechanisms are the basis of the data architecture decision that will be made in your information security program. These are the basis for the way data is protected and provide a means for access.
Understand the considerations and criteria for classifying data.
. Protecting data is the objective of every information security program. Therefore, we look at how that data can be classified so it can be securely handled.
Determine how employment policies and practices are used to enhance information security in your organization.
. Even with the press concentrating on the effects of denial-of-service attacks and viruses, the biggest threats come from within. Improving on the employment policies and practices to perform better background checks and better handle hiring and termination, as well as other concerns to help minimize the internal threat, are important information security practices.
Use change control to maintain security.
. One of the jobs of a Trojan horse is to replace a program with one that can be used to attack the system. Change control is one defense against this type of attack. Using change control to maintain the configuration of programs, systems, and networks, you can prevent changes from being used to attack your systems.
Know what is required for Security Awareness Training.
. The best security policies and procedures are ineffectual if users do not understand their roles and responsibilities in the security environment. Training is the only way for users to understand their responsibilities.

Study Strategies
Even if you are not part of your organization's management team, watch how management works in the information security environment. Take the practices and strategies written here and look at not only how your organization implements them, but how they can be improved. This type of lateral thinking will help on the exam and can make you a valuable contributor to your organization's security posture.
The notes throughout the chapter point out key definitions and concepts that could appear on the exam. They are also key components that all managers should understand.
This chapter covers Domain 3, Security Management Practices, 1 of 10 domains of the Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) covered in the Certified Information Systems Security Professional Examination. This domain is divided into several objectives for study.
"Security management entails the identification of an organization's information assessment and the development, documentation, and implementation of policies, standards, procedures, and guidelines that ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Management tools such as data classification, risk assessment, and risk analysis are used to identify the threats, classify assets, and to rate their vulnerabilities so that effective security controls can be implemented.
Risk management is the identification, measurement, control, and minimization of loss associated with uncertain events or risks. It includes overall security review, risk analysis, selection and evaluation of safeguards, cost benefit analysis, management decision, safeguard implementation, and effectiveness review.
The candidate will be expected to understand the planning, organization, and roles of the individual in identifying and securing an organization's information assets; the development and use of policies stating management's views and position on particular topics and the use of guidelines, standard, and procedures to support the policies; security awareness training to make employees aware of the importance of information security, its significance, and the specific security-related requirements relative to their position; the importance of confidentiality, proprietary, and private information; employment agreements; employee hiring and termination practices; and risk management practices and tools to identify, rate, and reduce the risk to specific resources."
Common Body of Knowledge study guide
Security management can be difficult for most information security professionals to understand. It is the bridge between understanding what is to be protected and why those protections are necessary. Using basic principles and a risk analysis as building blocks, policies can be created to implement a successful information security program.
As part of creating that program, information security management should also understand how standards and guidelines also play a part in creating procedures. When doing this, every user's role and responsibilities should be accounted for by understanding how to protect the organization's information assets.
The role of data as a significant part of the organization's information assets cannot be minimized. Data provides the fuel that drives your organization, but it is the asset that is the most vulnerable. Protecting this asset means understanding the various classifying mechanisms and how they can be used to protect your critical assets.
This chapter covers all these issues and discusses security awareness and managing people in your information security environment.
