I had the procedure done about an hour ago. Like you said, I only have a bit of an ache in the jaw from keeping my mouth open. Other than that, it really wasn't bad at all.

Ensure you have an Endodontist performing the procedure and not your local dentist. If it is your dentist it would be like having your GP performing a knee reconstruction.

I am pretty sure that is what he is, but it's hard to know for sure. I had it done (in my second home) in Mexico and the doctors here just love using those long titles and this one had that title displayed all over the place.

Thanks. It's all done and paid for by now. I am back home and don't have any pain.

"Chinese scientists have created the world's first glow-in-the-dark pigs that emit a fluorescent green light" [^].
Glow little piglet, glimmer, glimmer,
Shine little piglet, shimmer, shimmer,
In the sunlight you may grow dimmer,
But, oh, how tastily you'll be: simmered
Oink.

Bacon Bacon Burning Bright
In the fridges, late at night
Buttered bread so thin a slice
Could frame thy delicious artifice.

"All wholsom food is caught without a net or a trap." William Blake
one of the "Proverbs of Hell" in "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell"
Blake was vegetarian, as was Milton, Newton, Shelley, Wordsworth, Charles Darwin, George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells.
No, I do not advocate vegetarianism.

I knew a "vegetarian" once who made an exception for bacon sandwiches. It's bacon, I understood.

Yeah I want me some of that? When I go to the fridge late at night for a bacon snake and the fridge light goes out I won't have any problems spotting the goods.
Why in the hell would they do that?

Maybe they have a big problem with Bacon Butty thefts - and this way they just have to look for a telltale glow around the perpetrators teeth, tummy, and whatnot?

Simple, actually. Pigs are reasonably similar to humans physiologically-speaking. Apart from giving us the bacon, they're subjected to all kinds of test on our behalf. There's been a number of efforts over the past few years to introduce genes from other glow-in-the-dark animals to pigs, I actually thought it was a repost of an years-old news item, until I realized the whole animal had been affected, rather than just the snout and feet(perhaps ears, I forget). After I read the similarities that we have and why testing on pigs made sense, it stopped sounding perverse and moved over into the odd category for me.
Or, as the article says: "The ultimate goal of the research is to introduce beneficial genes into larger animals to create less costly and more efficient medicines."

Electronic Toolbox[^]. Good God is this program awesome! Anyone with an iPad with iOS 5.0 or later OR Windows 8[.1] who likes to work with electronics (including Arduino and Raspberry Pi) should take a look at it.

Awsome it is. I've had that little tool on my iPod for the last couple of years.

I find it quite easy to use. I am really just starting to get into electronics, and I think this application will really be useful. Now I need to find a components database.

Yeah, I meant a way to keep track of them.
Oh, and thanks for the link. I will look at it later when I get my 'Electronics Computer' set up (It's an old eMachines desktop I am planning to put at my electronics workshop area when I get that set up.

Looks really neat, but why a Windows Store app? I don't even mind buying it, but I don't have W8. I guess it uses W8 features?
