Fluoride, a naturally occurring mineral, is essential for proper tooth development and the prevention of tooth decay. In communities throughout the United States, tooth decay may still be a significant problem — but it is far less prevalent than it would have been, if not for the fluoridation of public water supplies. That's why the major associations of pediatric dentists and doctors support water fluoridation to the current recommended levels of 0.70 parts per million (ppm). It's also why the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has called fluoridated water one of the most significant health achievements of the 20th century.
Of course, not everyone has access to fluoridated water. That's one reason why a fluoride supplement is often recommended for your child and/or the use of toothpastes and other products that contain this important mineral. Because it is possible for children to get too much fluoride, it is best to seek professional advice on the use of any fluoride-containing product.
How Fluoride Helps
The protective outer layer of teeth, called enamel, is often subject to attacks from acids. These can come directly from acidic foods and beverages, such as sodas and citrus fruits — or sometimes through a middleman: the decay-causing bacteria already in the mouth that create acid from sugar. These bacteria congregate in dental plaque and feed on sugar that is not cleansed from your child's mouth. In metabolizing (breaking down) sugar, the bacteria produce acids that can eat through tooth enamel. This is how cavities are formed. When fluoride is present, it becomes part of the crystalline structure of tooth enamel, hardening it and making it more resistant to acid attack. Fluoride can even help repair small cavities that are already forming.
Delivering Fluoride to the Teeth
Fluoride ingested by children in drinking water or supplements can be taken up by their developing permanent teeth. Once a tooth has erupted, it can be strengthened by fluoride topically (on the surface). Using a fluoride-containing toothpaste is one way to make sure your children's teeth receive helpful fluoride exposure daily. We recommend using only a pea-sized amount for children ages 2-6 and just a tiny smear for kids under two. Fluoride should not be used on children younger than six months. A very beneficial way to deliver fluoride to the teeth is with topical fluoride applications painted right onto your child's teeth and allowed to sit for a few minutes for maximum effectiveness.
How Much Is Too Much?
Teeth that are over-exposed to fluoride as they are forming beneath the gum line can develop a condition called enamel fluorosis, which is characterized by a streaked or mottled appearance. Mild fluorosis takes the form of white spots that are hard to see. In more severe cases (which are rare), the discoloration can be darker, with a pitted texture. The condition is not harmful, but may eventually require cosmetic dental treatment. Tooth decay, on the other hand, is harmful to your child's health and can also be quite painful in severe cases.
The risk for fluorosis ends by the time a child is about 9 and all the permanent teeth have fully formed. Since fluoride use is cumulative, all the sources your child comes in contact with — including powdered infant formula mixed with fluoridated tap water — need to be evaluated. While caution is advised, however, it would be a mistake to forgo the benefits that this important mineral can bring to your child's teeth — and his or her overall health.

Label software is one thing everyone can use, labels can helps you organize your CD's and print out addresses in a few minutes, and using many different graphic templates.
Label software is something we all can use, from the computer user who is looking for a way to put some order in all his CD's and finally sort out the ones he needs in less than an hour, to the office admin that could use a better filing system and a better way of sending dozens of letters out a day without manually printing the address on the envelops.
The Label Software revolution has created many creative ways for us to use things better, to manage information in a better way and to organize our office and home needs in a nicer, simpler way.
Once you start using a software for labeling you will not believe how could you go along for so long without using some kind of software to print out labels for your papers, documents and CD's. For business or for personal use, the Label Software can help you mark your CD's with custom made templates and many different graphical possibilities, there is a world of difference between using label software to print out 10-15 different labels and having all your computer media on the floor as you are looking for your email backup from 3 months ago.
This kind of software can also be used to print addresses of contacts, thus saving valuable time for both businesses and private people, even wedding invitations can be printed out with this software so that you don't need to go over all the envelops yourself, all you need to do is spend about 3 minutes on the computer and then go make yourself a coffee while the printer is printing out the label for you to assign to letters and send away. The label software can save a business many hours of work and disorganization while sending out letters, with just a few clicks that printer can do all that for you while your workers do some actual work instead of writing addresses on envelops.
Today it is also possible to use the label software to print out bar codes on stickers for you to use, so you can make your own sorting out of the merchandise you have in your stock or follow movement of goods in and out of a storage facility.
Label software can be used for many things, but the general idea is that a label software allows you maximum use of your computer in your own physical environment, using a label software takes seconds and does not require any training, you just need to test the software coupled of time, read the manual and use the best technique of trail and error and you will be on your way, printing labels and saving a lot of time in a few hours from installing the label software on your computer.
Start using a Label software, it will save you a lot of time and help you organize some of you things.

Jack Frost happens. Depending on the temperature and its duration, he can spell the end of the growing season for many herbaceous plants. I pondered the end as I went to look at the garden one morning following a frost. Instead of sighing in disgust I took delight in the magical beauty he left behind and that got me thinking more about frost.
|Morning glory, still beautiful
We all know what it can do to plants. But what is frost, exactly? According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, frost is the "formation of ice crystals on the ground or other surfaces in the form of scales, needles, feathers of fans." Frost is common when the humidity is high enough, similar to the conditions under which dew is formed. (Dew forms, however, when temperatures are above freezing, not below.)
Frost alone doesn't kill plants. That's why some can survive a visit from Jack and still look fine. Injury happens only when internal plant temperatures drop low enough so that ice crystals form inside plant cells. Cellular liquid freezes, forming the crystals. These sharp objects in turn, puncture cell membranes. As air and plant temperatures warm up, ice crystals liquefy. It leaks out of cells,dehydrating them. Voila! Dead, blackened, wilted-looking plants.
|Frost crystals on a weed
Plants growing close to the soil may survive freezing temperatures a bit longer than others due to warmth generated from the soil. This heat gets conducted up and around the plant at least a few inches. And get this...when soil's moist, it can hold four times as much heat as a dry one and conduct it faster!
It's this soil warming we take advantage of when we cover tender plants, trying to avoid the inevitable. The heat gets trapped underneath the covering and keeps plants warmer than without it.
Next time Jack pays a visit, be sure to embrace the beauty he brings. After all, he's not to blame for plant death. He's just reducing the sting of season's end.

Washington DC, April 27, 2015 —The Young Americas Business Trust (YABT) partnered with Wharton Business School and the World Bank to promote and encourage participation in the Ideas For Action Competition (I4A) among young people in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).
YABT has thorough experience in planning and implementing entrepreneurship competitions that have involved more than 30,000 young people over the past 7 years in Latin America and the Caribbean. By promoting the Ideas For Action Competition, YABT sought to involve young people from the LAC region in the definition of the 2015 post-development agenda and linked this process to the VII Summit of the Americas.
YABT led the process of youth participation in the VII Summit of the Americas through the IV Young Americas Forum (IV Forum). In this context, 19% of the 1,500 participants that took part in the I4A came from 16 countries in the Americas.
The IV Forum took place on April 8-9 as an official activity of the Summit of the Americas. Its aim was to provide a space for young people of the Americas to work on a Youth Declaration and showcase best practices of the Summit's subthemes. In doing so, three finalists of the I4A Competition took part in the IV Forum. Their projects tackled two of the subthemes of the VII Summit: Education & Environment and Energy.
The first one was Lorena Julio, founder of Comparlante. Comparlante is a website that provides audio books in 15 languages. In the long term, Lorena seeks to incorporate audio books in indigenous tongues to preserve the languages that have managed to survive in the Americas. Comparlante solves the problem of access to education and information for visually impaired people and people with reduced vision through the use of new technologies, establishing itself as an accessible and comprehensive tool that meets the needs of today's society.
Moreover, Mrs. Julio represented youth of the Americas by presenting the results of the "Youth Declaration" during the Forum between Civil Society and the Heads of State prior to the VII Summit.
Wilder Sandoval, founder of Eco-Vida, proposed a solution to recycle and reutilize PET post-consumption by fabricating writing desks for classrooms in schools from rural areas of Nicaragua. In doing so, Eco-Vida aims to increase the access to furniture of low-income communities by substituting wood as its main construction material. Eco-Vida resulted the winner of the Eco-Challenge Special Award for Central America.
Finally, Ivonne Zulema Prado Barros and José Roberto Ardila from Colombia proposed a playful methodology to promote environmental education and raise awareness of climate change among kids. Eco-Tamina is a game that seeks to generate a change in one's mindset on how we perceive our lifestyle and how our actions have a negative impact on the natural balance of the planet Earth. This game is already available for iOS, Android and Microsoft. Eco-Tamina was a finalist in the Eco-Challenge category within TIC Americas.
The I4A Competition accompanies young leaders and innovators by encouraging them to develop and share their ideas regarding the financing challenges that the post-2015 development agenda demands. Young people, committed to their realities, are the human capital that will carry forward the sustainable development of the region.

Defacto Salons at the Scottish Hair and Beauty Show 2016
Wednesday, April 27th, 2016
On Monday we attended this years Scottish Hair and Beauty Show!
The exhibition was held in the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh and featured many names in the Scottish and British hair and beauty industry.
Our very own Natalie and Yvonne arrived for the opening of the event, to try out new products and to give you the best information on them they could!
The winding walkway through the different exhibitors was a bright pink carpet, leading us to our first stand, which was Beautiful Brows. Featured heavily in the beauty industry, beautiful brows are a semi permanent solution to thin pale brows. Offering products from brushes to a full eyebrow kit, Beautiful brows is a well established brand and through encouragement from their Scottish distributor Chris Christoforou, Yvonne was eager to give it a try. Using their brow stencil and a dark brown powder they swept back and forth over Yvonne's brows, they thickened and lengthened her brows.
We also visited Novalash where Natalie tried out their crème eye shadows and eyeliner set, which was used also as a lipstick and lip liner! The eye shadows were pigmented and when used on the lips they had the consistency of a matte lipstick. The product didn't feel tacky and lasted all day without creasing or causing chapped lips. A definite if you're looking for a multipurpose product.
After making a pit stops at some demonstrations by Slick Barbers and the prosecco and cupcake bar, we went on to Max Estrada's stall. Famous for his cutesy nail art, his skill isn't to be underestimated. When we arrived he was working on a client, crafting a hand created rosebud.
His talent was evident from his creations and attention to detail. The Max Estrada stall was swamped with customers clamouring to get some of his products. No doubt he had people lined up to get their nails done.
A pleasant surprise at the event was the Ivy Dental stall, there promoting their dental clinic and their new lip filler procedure. They also gave away bags of dental goodies and that's always a plus!
Dermologica was definitely towering over the rest of the exhibitors with a huge placement near the entrance, selling all their products. Dermologica is a fantastic brand for people looking to improve their skin. With products suitable for all types of skin, if what you're using isn't fully working for you then we recommend you give their products a try. Passing by Dermologica and heading to the back of the event hall we ran into a small stall called Golden Curl and they were offering up their new curling and straightening tongs. Natalie happily volunteered to be their guinea pig.
The tongs fully curled a section into a loose ringlet of hair in seconds. Very impressive and would probably cut some people hair routine by a considerable amount. The heat stylers also managed to bring out the natural shine in hair and we were pleased with the result.
Barclay Wolf were offering a new option for hair extensions that removes the damage level of bonded ones and the discomfort of clip ins. Tape in hair extensions is the way to go! With Barclay Wolf's genius idea of having your extensions in a jar instead of a plastic wrapper they remove the annoyance of trying to fir your clip-ins' back into the bag afterwards. They are removable, reusable and undetectable. They can last up to three months from the first insertion. We have an upcoming video and article on the way explaining how they are applied and showing how they look at the end. With both highlights and a full head of extensions. So keep an eye out for that!
Yvonne had a go at getting some highlights and she has assured us that they are weightless and barely even noticeable when she's sleeping. Thanks Barclay Wolf!
Our last stop (as the exhibition was closing) was Nail Gaga. Established down south and trying to break into the market up here. They offer bright and interesting colours for your nails. They also sell professional brushes (with added diamantes in the stems) for whoever would like to try their hand at nail art.
Overall, the event was fantastic and offered a good look at what's available in the hair and beauty industry for both customers and professionals. We're looking forwards to attending again next year!
You can watch our short video summarising our experience!
Defacto Salons talks nails with Max Estrada!
Wednesday, April 27th, 2016
Defacto got to sit down with Max Estrada, the King of Nails, and discuss a little bit about himself and what makes him tick!
Being born into the beauty industry and with more than 10+ years of expertise and experience, Max is now sharing his knowledge all over the world and trendsetting as he goes. Master director of global education, founder and CEO of Exclusive Nail Couture and now Defacto's most recent interviewee.
Why nails, where did it begin?
Actually my mother does nails, I grew up in the industry. I started training at a very young age, so it was a very natural move for me to get into the industry. I'd go to my mum's salon in Arizona and just watch her do nails. I got the bug at 13, done my first competition at 15 and started working professionally at 16! I've been involved in all factors of the industry, being a student, being a salon owner being a nail artist, being a top competitor, and being an educator.
You like to be in amongst it all?
Yes and no because now I don't do nails for a living I'm here for the company so I think of myself as a classically trained nail artist!
If you could do anyone's nails, who would it be?
Jordan (Katie Price), that'd be interesting, I've recently become obsessed with her so id love to do her nails.
Do you know already what you would pick for her?
Something pink! Very over the top to match her personality
Have you got anything coming up?
Teaching this weekend in Glasgow at Theo Beauty Academy, we're expecting about 13 or 15 students. Not too many so I can give individualized attention. I feel that in order to have personal growth we need to have our mistakes pointed out. When you know what your mistake is that's when you're able to improve and become a better nail technician.
The current Cuteecool vibe where did that come from?
As a kid I really liked Japanese cartoons and Japanese animation and I just became fascinated with this aesthetic and this pop culture. I felt like I related to it. So the packaging now is centered really towards that. Even now I really like Korean pop music and animation and all that. Everything that I make I'm very involved in. If it's not something I like its not something I will sell! It's all about having a quality product.
What would you say is the most defining moment of your career so far?
Every day is a defining moment because every day is a new challenge. I have had so many opportunities and I'm so blessed to be able to travel the world. Everything I do I will put my heart and soul into it and being able to travel and have a brand out. I get a lot of gratification in seeing other people using my products and enjoying them.
So what's next for Max Estrada?
Take over the world! More and more and more! Right now we're really trying to develop our UK market that's why we're doing work here just now and ill be coming back in October. We're always coming out with new products and I'm always working. That's why social media is so important; we can show these products to the world!
Thanks for your time Max!

We've published a number of photos from today's annular eclipse that happened in Asia and the western US, many of which show telephoto views of the moon's disk obscuring part of the sun. Take a step back with this panorama created by msnbc.com's John Brecher, stitched together from several images, to see some of the other sights that surround you during a solar eclipse: note the ring-shaped shadows on the white van made by light filtering through the trees, the reduced-contrast quality of the sunlight that's been shaped by the moon's edges, and the reactions of people as they use various optics to observe the phenomenon.

Virtually Impossible: Deleuze and Derrida on the Political Problem of Islands (and Island studies)
Williams, S, Virtually Impossible: Deleuze and Derrida on the Political Problem of Islands (and Island studies), Island Studies Journal, 7, (2) pp. 215-234. ISSN 1715-2593 (2012) [Refereed Article]

It is commonplace to think of an island as a discreetly bounded unit. Selected writings on islands by the poststructuralist philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Jacques Derrida reveal the island variously to be both real and imaginary, mythological and scientific, but as most problematic when constituted in political terms as an indivisible, sovereign entity. These two thinkers more broadly developed concepts of the virtual and the impossible, respectively, are seen to disrupt any assumptions about the fixity and closure of the island polity. Instead they emphasize its actualization through processual relations that can be difficult and yet are dynamic and decisive in effecting the move from being to becoming-other. However, as the possibilities for instituting more ethical as well as different political relations are subsequently opened up, the question of island studies remaining in its currently coherent, familiar form is raised for consideration.

Introducing The Limited Edition Prince's Trust Collection
Hawes & Curtis has created an exclusive collection in collaboration with HRH The Prince of Wales's charity, The Prince's Trust.
The collection consists of limited edition shirts for men and women, as well as cufflinks, silk ties and pocket squares, all featuring the special Hawes & Curtis/ Prince's Trust label.
The youth charity will benefit from the sales of these products and the proceeds will help disadvantaged young people move into work, education or training. The collection will launch in stores and online on 13 September 2016 and will be available for three months.
Hawes & Curtis CEO, Touker Suleyman said: "We are very proud to support The Prince's Trust in its continuous efforts to give more of Britain's young people the chance to fulfil their potential."
Tara Leathers, Director of Fundraising at The Prince's Trust said: "We are very proud to partner with Hawes & Curtis for this exclusive collection. This year we are celebrating 40 years of helping young people move into work, education or training. 825,000 young people have been supported by The Prince's Trust since 1976. But our job is far from over; there are still many young people who need support to turn their lives around. Our collaboration with Hawes & Curtis will raise vital funds for The Trust as we support 100 more young people each day. We are hugely grateful to Hawes & Curtis for creating this very stylish collection and for their enthusiasm and commitment to our work."

Ziti with Pork and Escarole in Creamy Thyme Sauce
New! You can now save recipes. It's free!
Quick-cooking pork tenderloin stars here with a strong back-up from just-wilted ribbons of escarole, and a touch of mustard to complement both.
Yields: 4
1 lb. pork tenderloin
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. fresh-ground black pepper
3 tbsp. Cooking oil
1/2 lb. escarole
1 shallot or 2 scallions including green tops
1/2 c. canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
2 tsp. grainy or Dijon mustard
1/2 c. heavy cream
1/2 lb. ziti
- Cut the pork into 1/2-inch slices and flatten them with the heel of your hand. Sprinkle the pork with 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over moderate heat. Cook the pork, in two batches if necessary, until just barely done, about 1 minute per side. Remove the pork from the pan, let it sit for 5 minutes, and then cut into thin strips.
- In the same pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderate heat. Add the escarole, shallot, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring until the escarole wilts, about 1 minute. Add the broth and the thyme and simmer until the broth is reduced to 1/4 cup, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the mustard, cream, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; bring just to a simmer. Add the pork and any accumulated juices to the sauce, and remove from the heat.
- In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the ziti until just done, about 13 minutes. Drain and toss with the sauce.
- Wine Recommendation: A dry riesling from the Alsace region in France makes a perfect partner for pork and stands up well to the mustard here.

Having a destination wedding on the Paradise Island? Why not take it a step further by infusing a more traditional Balinese taste into your special day? Impress your guests by a selection of unique menu items and memorable dishes, whatever event you're hosting. Consult a reputable catering in Bali for advices on the catering menu as well as the decor that supports the traditional Balinese authentic taste.
Bring an authentic Balinese taste into your event
Balinese food is known for its rich spices and tasteful, distinct spice mix. The balinese cuisine demonstrates indigenous Balinese traditions, and you'll find that even within the country, the balinese cuisines are notably distinct compared to the rest of Indonesia. In order to bring this unique taste into your event, you'll need to find a Bali catering company that specializes in Balinese food (and not just any Indonesian food, as what consists of "Indonesian food" is highly diverse and you'll be surprised how much one differs greatly from the other).
Catering Bali: the distinct and memorable taste of Balinese cuisine
Consult with your chosen Bali catering company which food you'd like to have in your event and whether it'll be possible for them to serve the dish the way you envision it. Here are some of the pointers to get started:
- Decide what kind of Balinese food you'd like to have in your event. You don't have to be an expert in culinary traditions to do this. But having a clear idea on what you want is extremely important. Go around to have a taste test in the many Balinese restaurants you can find, whether it's a specialized Babi Guling restaurant or warung Ayam Betutu, take your pick.
- Have a look at the menu, whether it's buffet catering Bali or plated meal. Ask for a possibility of customization or special requests. Would they be flexible about it, or do they already have a certain standard that they have to follow? Can they make your vision work?
- If your event is a specific one, say, a wedding reception, then try approaching a wedding catering Bali to kickstart your event planning. A catering company specializing in weddings is going to be able to give you input based on their previous experiences.
Iconic Balinese tradition inspiration for your food bar and Buffet catering Bali
When it comes to the Balinese Hindu traditions, there's the iconic food offering that you may have seen often in the temples or roads when a ceremony is taking place. In these offerings (often carried by women on top of their head) fruits are the most common foodstuffs they carry. However, in modern times, this varies greatly. Some people even use Bintang (the local beer) as the offering!

This is a great idea for a food bar—not only it's a distinctly Balinese tradition, but it also makes for a memorable visual for your event decor. You can put anything from cupcakes to canned drinks, and have your guests enjoy the food festivities there. Consult your catering Denpasar whether they will be able to provide you with the necessary equipments for this.

Suggestion: Hey all you political bloggers, why not call a truce between now and, to pick a significant date, September 11, and focus your persuasive skills on getting folks to participate in hurricane relief. Just stop with the blaming and name calling for ten days. Then have at it.
However, if you feel you must focus your energies on the politics of disaster planning and response, Rogers Cadenhead has an idea for a competition that at least has some positive results. Frankly, I don't give a flip whether liberals or conservatives can raise more money, so good luck to both sides.

I am standing on large dunes overlooking a lagoon and a small traditional fishing village. This area is a National Park and the town has recently become a tourist beach haven. Hundreds of stairs lead to the top of these huge shifting sand dunes and stunning views.
Wide tracts of dense sand melt beneath my feet as I step off the wooden walkways. After exploring the dune landscape with its small flowers and vegetation, I begin to meander west through stubby pine trees that gradually become taller and taller and then smaller again as the land drops off toward the sea. The paths through the forests are lit by the sun which shines through the well-spaced trees to a forest floor rich with wild, exotic mushrooms. Old women with baskets and kerchiefs slowly wind through the trees— searching for these fruits of the forest, a staple perfuming this land's otherwise plain cuisine. It is a short walk: only 3.8 kms across from the lagoon to the sea.
The fine sand is chalk white. It sifts through my toes like silk. I'm on the shore of a northern sea on a long, thin spit of land which has been divided between two countries. The larger of which never gave back the beachfront property and important port it occupied when independence of the smaller country was won. As I wander the beach, I can walk about 50 kms north to the tip of the spit, but wandering south I have to be careful because I'm only 2 kms from the border and the watch tower is the only thing looming above in this otherwise unspoiled land.
Do you know where I am?
The answer was: Nida, Lithuania

CAD Surges as U.S. Trade Uncertainty Disappears
Canadian dollar investors like what they saw in the NAFTA replacement deal announced on Sunday, called the United States Mexico Canada trade deal or USMCA. Headlines are already pointing to the potential for the Bank of Canada pushing ahead its intended rate hikes now that trade uncertainty has been removed, while avoiding a potential 10% decline in the currency's value being reported last week as a potential outcome should the trade negotiations fail.
The spot Canadian currency formed a bullish gap higher in Monday's trade, ending 81 basis points higher at $.78204 CAD/USD. This is the first move above $.78 cents seen since May 22, or just over four months, while the current rate is nearing a range of three highs on the weekly chart ranging from $.78454 CAD/USD to $.78536 CAD/USD. Today's break above technical resistance at $.77903, the 38.2% retracement of the move from the September 2017 high to the June low could clear the path for a further move to $.78807 CAD/USD, the 50% retracement of the same move.
The lower-study is a histogram that shows the net-position held by non-commercial traders, with this group paring their net-short futures position for the first time in four weeks given the CFTC's data as of Sept. 25. The net-short position, at 19,532 contracts, is the smallest position seen since June 18, or more than three months.
Friday's higher-than-expected GDP data for the month of July, as well as a continued surge in crude oil prices, with NYMEX crude for December delivery reaching its highest level traded since December 2014, point to other supportive factors in the move in the Canadian currency.

Read Luke 22:14-20
I. Somber Prediction. In our Sunday School material Jesus and His Apostles are reclining around a table, during the Passover. Jesus introduces bread and wine as symbolic elements.
The bread represents His body. The wine represents His blood. The eating and drinking is to be done in memory of Jesus.
Applications -
- Christians and the Passover. Notice in vs. 14 of the Sunday School material the mention of the Passover. The Jews celebrated the death angel passing over them in Egypt because of faith in the blood.
As believers, we should celebrate being saved from eternal doom because of the blood of Jesus. This celebration ought to impact our enthusiastic worship.
It ought to impact our obedient living. Let's work on living like those who are thankful for the salvation found in the blood of Jesus.
- The "Lord's Supper." Notice in vss. 15-20 the symbolic use of the bread and wine. The most important thing that we do at Communion or the Lord's Supper is remember the body and blood of Jesus given as payment for our sin debt.
We should also remember that Jesus died for us, so we can live obedient lives of service for Him. And we should remember that Jesus and us, His people, will eat and drink together in His kingdom, which is yet to come.
We cheapen this ordinance, by making dress code, frequency, timing, the composition of the elements, and other minor issues more important than remembering and living accordingly.
Let's work on remembering and living like we understand the true significance of the bread and fruit of the vine.
Read Luke 22:21-30
II. Sobering Prediction. Jesus talks about His being betrayed in our Sunday School material. The Apostles begin to ask among themselves who it was.
The subject matter then quickly switches to a dispute about who would be the greatest in the kingdom. Jesus teaches about the value of service.
Applications -
- Prepared for suffering. Notice in vs. 22 that suffering was a part of the plan for Jesus. As believers, we should be prepared for suffering to be a part of God's plan for our lives. It is better to be prepared and it never comes than for it to come and we are not prepared.
Prayerfully studying and obeying God's word with the support of other believers is a huge step in the right direction. Making sure that our trust is in God and not in our stuff, status, or ourselves is helpful also. Let's work on being prepared for suffering.
- Avoiding the devil's usage. Notice in vs. 22 of our Sunday School material that Judas let the devil use him and terrible things would happen to him, because he allowed the devil to use him. Even though God used Judas' betrayal for good, Judas still had to pay for his sins.
In other words, the end did not justify the means. Let's work to keep the devil from using us. A great way to keep the devil from using us is to focus on prayerfully studying and obeying God's word with the support of other disciples.
We are strongest together and weakest, when we are separated. The need for relationship building projects should be obvious.
- Focusing on God's agenda. Notice in vss. 23-27 of our Sunday School material that Jesus teaches His disputing Apostles about how to really be great.
First, it is embarrassing that as Jesus is talking about dying for the sins of the world, His Apostles - those who are sent out - are disputing who will be the greatest in the kingdom.
We should learn from them to keep the main thing the main thing. Second, we learn from Jesus that real greatness is a matter of service. A person can have all kinds of cash, credentials, and even contacts, but without loving service, the person is far from great, as God defines greatness.
We should work on being great servants of the Lord. This doesn't necessarily mean that all of us are to be floor sweepers. It means we should do whatever God calls us to do. If that is floor sweeping, so be it. If it is managing a ministry group, so be it.
If it is being a witness on Monday and tither on Sunday, which it is, we should obediently serve the Lord. Let's work on focusing on being what God is calling us to be.
- Blessed faithfulness. Notice in vss. 28-30 there seems to be some blessings attached to being faithful. The Apostles are said to have been with Jesus in some rough times/trials. And the text goes on to talk about having the kingdom conferred on them.
The details of the text may be debated, but the principle that faithfulness leads to blessings should be beyond debate. Let's work on being faithful. The measure of our faithfulness is seen in stormy weather more than calm weather. It is easy to be faithful, when all is well.
Conclusion: Let's work on appreciating the "Lord's Supper" and focusing on God's agenda. God has much for those who obey His will.Please click here to let us know, if this has been quality and helpful information for you (i.e., make sure you let us know the name of the article).

Weight loss injections deliver precise doses of vitamins, amino acids, and other nutrients into your bloodstream. These doses bypass your digestive system, so the nutrients are less likely to break down or become damaged. Lipotropic B-12 injections contain several components that help with weight loss.
Vitamin B-12 helps rev up your metabolism and gives you more energy. It's particularly beneficial if your B-12 is running low and you don't get enough of the vitamin in your diet. Lipotropic injections are helpful in weight loss because they contain added components that aid in fat metabolism.
Lipotropic nutrients (known as methionine, inositol, and choline, or MIC), are known to break down and metabolize fat. These nutrients not only help you lose weight, but provide a boost in energy so you can power through your workouts.
B-12 injections can cost anywhere from $25-$35 per injection depending on your package.
Most patients notice an immediate spike in their energy level, so they're more likely to stay active throughout the day. It's common to start losing weight within your first week post-injection. Although the goal is to drop a steady one to two pounds per week, some weight loss patients lose even more when they first get started with lipotropic B-12 injections.
Dr. Camden will set you up for success by tailoring a nutrition and eating plan specifically designed for you. She will also focus on helping you find ways to get more exercise in regularly. In some cases, Dr. Camden pairs weight loss injections with FDA-approved weight loss medications to boost the injection's effects.
Dr. Camden customizes a weight loss plan based on your needs. Most weight loss patients only need about one weekly injection. However, you may need them more or less often. It depends on your progress and how you respond to the injections.
Because vitamin B-12 is water soluble and lipotropic components are safe, you don't have to worry about getting too much. Your system simply flushes out whatever it doesn't need.
Book your weight loss consultation, and get started with lipotropic B-12 injections at New Medical Spa. Schedule either online or over the phone.
Individual results may vary.

Korzenie albo słodko-gorzkie przyprawy "nowego regionalizmu" [dot. "Nowy regionalizm w badaniach literackich"]
Author(s): Katarzyna Szkaradnik
Roots, or Bittersweet Spices of the "New Regionalism"
Subject(s): Literary Texts
Published by: Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Śląskiego
Summary/Abstract: The review is an evaluation of a post-conference tome Nowy regionalizm w badaniach literackich. Badawczy rekonesans i zarys perspektyw, edited by Małgorzata Mikołajczak and Elżbieta Rybicka. The author focuses on theoretical propositions included in the book, situating them in the context of a topographical shift and a revival of interest in regional literature, which cannot be reduced to notions of "small homeland" or "spice literature". She discusses strategies and interpretations presented in the articles, chiefly devoted to literature on cross-border areas: Western Lands, Podlasie, and Upper Silesia. In the review, the author agrees with the point on the importance of discovering non-canonical literature and the potential of critical "peripheral" writing, but doubts are also expressed, since the status of the new regionalism is in itself problematic.

Dethklok is both a virtual band featured in the Adult Swim animated program Metalocalypse, as well as a real band created in 2006 to perform the band's melodic death metal music in live shows. Both bands were created by Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha. The music heard on Metalocalypse is performed by Brendon Small, with others as needed.
In the Metalocalypse series, Dethklok is depicted as an extremely popular and successful death metal band. The band's fan base includes billions of metal fanatics, who frequently endanger themselves to watch the band perform live. With their widespread commercial success and lucrative sponsorship contracts, Dethklok is ranked as the world's seventh largest economy by the end of the second season.
The members of Dethklok are often portrayed as incompetent at almost everything not related to their profession. The band struggles to perform everyday tasks, including shopping for groceries, preparing food, and maintaining proper social relationships. They are often assisted by their manager and lawyer, Charles Foster Ofdensen, who frequently attempts to prevent the band from making poor decisions. The band's actions and uncanny misfortune have caught the attention of an Illuminati-style council, known as The Tribunal. The Tribunal is portrayed as Dethklok's antagonist throughout the series, and secretly monitors their actions in almost every episode. They describe Dethklok as the "world's greatest cultural force." The leader of The Tribunal (Mr. Selatcia), however, frequently instructs the other members to allow Dethklok to do as they will.
The on show members of Dethklok are:
Nathan Explosion - Vocals
Skwisgaar Skwigelf - Lead Guitar
Toki Wartooth - Rhythm Guitar
William Murderface - Bass
Pickles - The Drummer

It all started with chicken on the side of the road
November 27, 2019
Brine has been open for over a year now on Eighth Avenue serving up seriously good chicken and sides. If you've had the pleasure of eating at Brine, you've probably seen Dan the owner and founder, up front working on a laptop, or even in the back washing dishes. No matter who you see at Brine, they're some of the kindest and friendliest people in the neighborhood. We sat down to chat with Dan on how, quite literally, chicken on the side of the road was his inspiration to open the business.
Tell us about your inspiration to open Brine.
The inspiration behind Brine was hating chicken growing up. I hated chicken and never wanted to eat it because it was always dry, and I couldn't stand it.
Several years ago I went to the Caribbean, and went up to a guy cooking and selling chicken out of a metal barrel on the side of a street. The chicken was incredible. It was juicy and tasted like nothing I'd ever had before. I asked him "what is this and why is this so good?" and that's when he told me about brining. From that moment on, it stuck in my head.
How'd you get here?
I love to cook and always wanted to do something that I didn't think was out there. About five years ago, I was working for a tech company, and thought, you know what, I want to see if I can do this restaurant business.
I took a course at the Institute of Culinary Education for restaurant entrepreneurs. From there, I wrote a business plan during the eight month long course. After the course, I went to work for a restaurant group as a 40 year old intern. Basically, I wanted to see what it was like to be in the restaurant industry in the real world. I met a ton of people and also met my chef, Joseph Lonigro, there.
I told Joseph my idea about chicken, and said "this is what I want," and that was where we began. We started meeting like crazy and experimenting with brining. We'd have a certain amount of salt, sugar, garlic, and were just handing out chicken. After brining for 24 hours, we'd give the chicken to friends and family with a sheet to mark off whether it was too sweet, too salty, etc. Then we gave them detailed instructions on how to cook it all while moving hundreds of pounds of chicken around to everyone. We did little variations, big variations and documented everything. Finally, after countless taste tests, we found what is the perfect brine recipe.
What is brining for those that don't know?
Brine is a process in which you infuse the protein with a certain liquid. In this case, water, sugar, salt, garlic, and all these different things. You take a massive amount of water to boil it, and then put salt and sugar so it becomes part of the water. You then cool it, put the raw chicken inside cold water, and then in the fridge for 24 hours. The water with the sugar, salt, and garlic, infuses inside the protein. If you do it correctly, you can have chicken without anything on it and it's amazing. Once we take it out of the brine, it has to lay for about 12 hours in the fridge to get out excess moisture. It's a 36 hour process from start to finish. It's not the easiest way or sometimes the most cost effective, but it's the best, and makes the chicken taste incredible.
How long did it take to perfect the recipe?
The recipe for the brine took about a year. It was exhausting because you never knew if something was too little or too much. I was cooking in my kitchen every single day and so was Joe, the chef and the COO. We were both working on the recipe but would let each other know what we were doing so we wouldn't duplicate efforts. We would work on variations, and then compare.
What sets Brine's chicken apart from other chicken?
What we do is take the hardest path imaginable. Our brining method takes 36 hours and not a lot of restaurants will do that just because it takes such a long time. It was our insistence that it has to be this way. We wanted to redefine fast casual, by doing fine casual. We wanted the experience to be beyond what people thought of fast casual, we have real plates, silverware, and want the experience to be that of a quality restaurant.
Favorite menu item at Brine?
My favorite, which might sound boring, is the quarter chicken without any sauce, that is by far the best. Also the grilled coleslaw for a side is probably my favorite.
Why Meatpacking?
People watching here is incredible. It's one of the coolest places in NYC because you see everything and everybody. There's just so many different parts of the district that make it cool and that's why we're here because we wanted to be right in the middle of it all.

"Have you ever met someone for the first time after seeing a photograph of them and thought, "This is not what I expected!" All their features are a match to what you saw in their photographed image and yet, in this moment as you encounter them face to face you instantly begin to perceive who they are beyond their physical appearance. With just the slightest curl of their lip or bend of their brow their face begins to emote and you start tapping in to how they feel, what they might be thinking, if they're happy, kind, or gentle. You start to piece together their personality, their character, and all this happens before they even say a word. As living, breathing, complex multifaceted creatures we each contain thousands of faces we put forward and every millisecond contains a moment of truth to be captured. In person, these milliseconds are all blended together and showcase the greater you. It is a great photographers job to know how to find that millisecond that reflects the best you and capture it.

Born in Chile, Daniel along with his parents, brother, and sister relocated to Toronto Canada when he was 9. This is where he first began to explore the streets that would one day become his lens hunting grounds.
Throughout his early years he took an interest in philosophy and later went on to further develop that interest by attending the University of Toronto where he majored in the subject. Additionally, he decided to take up a photography course where he learned the technical skills to improve on a hobby he had long since been courting.
Pairing his travels with his philosophical studies, he has used photography as a means to portray a truth, often calling it a medium where he can cage beauty. Whether in the face of a person, the skyline of a city, or a swaying branch from a tree,

Madison County Boycotted! Director Eric England Fricked!
Eric England on Twitter!
That's right, kids! Director Eric England has fricked with the wrong Jack and as a result the DVD release of his new movie Madison County is being boycotted! Why? Who knows but Little Caesar here is PISSED! Check out the video! Join the movement! Laugh your ass off!
From the Press Release
Dating back to the fairy tales of Grimm, the woods have always been a place of immense beauty, but also of abject terror. Perhaps it's the lack of civilization, or not knowing what lurks around the next tree, but sometimes what seems idyllic and bucolic only masks the path to death itself! On May 8th, Image Entertainment presents Madison County on DVD and digital download. Premiered at last year's prestigious ScreamFest — the only film to sell out during the festival! — and already abuzz with anticipation among genre fans, Madison County promises an excursion into rural terror that pays homage to the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Town that Dreaded Sundown. SRP is $27.97 for the DVD.
Directed, co-produced and written by Eric England, Madison County stars Ace Marrero (who also co-produced), Colley Bailey, Matt Mercer, Joanna Sotomura, Natalie Scheetz, Katie Stegeman, and Adrienne Harrell, with Laid To Rest's Nick "ChromeSkull" Principe as the savage killer Damien Ewell. Special make-up and prosthetic effects are from the award-winning makeup effects wizards at Almost Human (Laid to Rest I & II, Quarantine, "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles").
In the film — inspired by true events — a group of college kids travel to a small, mountain town called Madison County to interview the author of a tell-all book on the accounts of several grisly murders that happened there. But when the kids get to Madison County, the author is nowhere to be found and the townspeople act like they haven't seen him in years, stating that the killer never existed and the murders never happened. However, when the kids start digging around to get their own answers, they find out that the stories may be more real than the townspeople are letting on.

Our view: A federal lawsuit says the downfall of locally owned Butte Community Bank was caused by the decisions of its leadership.
It has been three years since government regulators shut down and sold Chico-based Butte Community Bank. The bank was closed by the California Department of Financial Institutions on Aug. 20, 2010. It was put into receivership with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., and immediately purchased by Rabobank as an entry to this market.
Initially the closure was blamed on financial problems anchored in the economy and bad real estate loans, a situation that many lenders faced. But there was more to it at Butte Community Bank.
We found out late last month that the former leaders of the bank — both officers and directors — may have had something to do with the teetering position when the FDIC filed a suit against them.
The lawsuit against 11 members of the leadership charges "negligence, gross negligence and breach of fiduciary duty."
It doesn"t seem to us that the charges could be more serious. The lawsuit says it wasn"t a casual mistake, but something discussed and planned.
Basically, the suit says the leadership knew the bank was on shaky ground, but went ahead with a payoff to themselves, among other charges.
That news stunned not only shareholders, employees and customers, but the region — in every locale the bank had a branch.
There are many sad stories associated with this bank, but we see the employees" tale the worst. For those who had worked years for the bank, it would be painful to have your employer closed down as regulators literally swept into the headquarters and branches, clamping down on the operation at the end of a busy Friday.
Some employees may have known that the threat loomed, but for others, it must have been shocking.
Worst yet was if employees had bought stock in the bank, helping it along with their investment, and hoping to help themselves down the road or for retirement. Their hard-earned dollars have disappeared.
It will be frustrating to many if this lawsuit doesn"t make it to court, where questions should be answered. A scheduling conference has been planned for January, which is a long time away.
The FDIC wants at least $8.8 million to settle the costs it incurred during the closure and sale to Rabobank. Getting back some of those public dollars is paramount to the federal government.
Attorneys are already at work trying to reach a settlement before trial, we"re sure.
The one question that may never be answered during this process — which is sure to take a long time — is why. Until we get that answer, we all have our suspicions, and they"re likely not flattering.

Designed for the Videojet 1710 high contrast ink printer, the V492-C light blue ink is specially formulated to adhere to a wide variety of extruded pipe, hose, cable and wire substrates. These products are typically constructed of plastics including PVC, LDPE, and HDPE in various colors. The light blue ink can achieve optimal contrast across a wide range of substrate color variations, increasing the versatility of the ink jet coder, eliminating the expense of switching to different inks, and/or minimizing the need for additional printers dedicated to specific colors.
The V492-C ink provides quality transfer-resistance and adhesion. It is also sun/UV fade resistant—which is important for temporary outdoor exposure applications such as those at job sites or those in temporary outdoor storage at a manufacturer's plant.
For use on high-speed production lines, V402 dark gray ink is suitable for PVC plastic substrates that require fast dry times. With less than one second of dry time on cold PVC material, V402 ink dries 25% faster than the fastest drying ink previously available for Videojet's 1000 Line of continuous ink jet printers. The ink formulation resists smearing on coded cables while providing good adhesion. As a secondary application, this dark gray ink can prove advantageous when lower contrast, lower visibility codes are desired for building materials, consumer products or parts assembly applications—especially where production codes are needed but only for infrequent or obscure reference.

Internet technology has been used by most of the organizations in the world today. One of the primary vehicles of information gathering and dissemination in today's world is organizational website. This research evaluates the performance of the present TV3 (a popular private television station in Malaysia) website. By means of an on-line survey and a few focus group discussions, it also identifies the website viewer requirements and their corresponding importance level. Subsequently, the technical requirements are identified that can fulfill the viewer requirements. A House of Quality (HOQ) is built to find the relationship between the viewer and technical requirements. The Quality Function Deployment (QFD) exercise provides the prioritized technical requirements, which is expected to guide the TV3 website development and maintenance team in its future website redesigning project. The findings of the research are also expected to provide some insight in other organizations in similar need.

A cake that leaves no one indifferent.
Under the scientific name acropora microclados and native from the Australian reefs, the super famous and coveted Strawberry Shortcake is a coral that catches your attention. Perhaps because of its high price or delicacy, it is yet rare in aquariums.
This acropora microclados, a coral that has been imported for longer than a decade, admits many morphs or variations, but they all have a common characteristic: the unique contrast between the colors green and red. I have seen them in bright green with red polyps, light green with pinkish polyps, and even the so-called reverse, with red/pink tissue and green polyp. But it was not until the publication of 2009 MACNA, where Joe Caparatta (Unique Corals) introduced it under the name that has become so popular: Strawberry Shortcake, or SSC for those who like to abbreviate. Since then, the Strawberry Shortcake acropora has accumulated numerous competitors and I've come to see acroporas nasuta and acroporas latistella that were trying to steal its name or a part of it.
It all began here.
The frags from Unique Corals soon arised the hobbyist's interest in this jewel. A strong fuchsia colour on polyps that sharply contrasts with the green of the surrounding tissue. The name they chose was a complete success, their resemblance to strawberries is undeniable.
These corals soon occupied the top positions in sales volume, and six years later the demand far exceeded the available supply.
It was such a successful coral that soon arose imitators.
An example is this acropora latistella, which with an undeniable resemblance rivals in beauty. This is an original piece of Indonesia, recently introduced and with little information, except that it requires a very intense light to develop those pink hues with yellow/green polyps. Well adapted individuals may get to show blue hues on the top of the radial corallites.
ORA could not miss the banquet.
Because the feast of strawberries yields profit for everyone. Reference farm in USA, ORA Farm, issued this awesome specimen in 2013. It seems to be a acropora microclados, but with more muted colors and reduced contrast between them. Since the SSC of Unique Corals is a registered name, ORA had to toe the line with only the word "Shortcake", a bit insipid cake in my opinion.
The importance of a fine choice.
And just to see the look that has a acropora microclados "common", one of many that populate the Australian reef. It is easy to find these species on the upper ledges of the reef, in areas with strong agitation, very exposed to the sun. They grow up in table-shaped form with quite messy and sometimes irregular tips, until they reach a diameter of about one meter.
This Strawberry Shortcake is a little permissive acropora. If you put it in a place that is not of its liking, it will soon lose its beautiful color and turn brown. In this sense, lighting plays a key role.
In these two pictures you can see the same acropora SSC under two different lightings. The one on he left, at the top of the aquarium and under strong light intensity, has lost much of the green hue, yielding an intense fuchsia. The piece on the right is located at the bottom of an aquarium, with a medium-high lighting, which makes green hue predominate.
This species is particularly grateful when placed under a metal halide lamp, not very near the surface, under strong and variable current water. It is in these circumstances that tend to show the color balance and intensity that has made them so popular.

in photography, the process of dissolving the silver halides in an exposed photosensitive emulsion that were not reduced during photographic development; as a result, the image becomes resistant to the effects of light and does not change during prolonged storage.
The most common fixing solutions use sodium thiosulfate, usually in the form of a 25-percent aqueous solution. An acid, such as sulfuric or acetic acid, is sometimes added to the solution to neutralize any developing agents remaining in the photographic emulsion after completion of the development process. Usually, however, neutralization is an independent stage—the stop bath—since the oxidation products of developing agents can saturate the fixer and cause a yellow tinting of the emulsion. The strength of the emulsion gelatin may be increased by the addition of substances that double the gelatin, such as aluminum alum or chromium potassium sulfate. Ammonium chloride, typically in a concentration of 50 g per liter of simple fixer, is used in high-speed fixers, which yield fixing periods from one-half to one-third as long as normal.
The duration of fixing depends on the concentration and temperature of the fixing bath, the intensity of agitation, the thickness of the emulsion layer, the concentration of silver halides, and the size of the microcrystals of silver halides in the emulsion. An increase in temperature accelerates fixing, but at temperatures above 22°–23°C the photosensitive gelatin layer may undergo excessive swelling, slip off the backing, or disintegrate. The fixing of images on fine-grain emulsions proceeds more rapidly than on coarse-grain emulsions, since the overall surface area of the silver halide crystals is considerably greater. The average duration of fixing is 15–20 minutes for coarse-grain emulsions and 8–10 minutes for fine-grain emulsions. Furthermore, it is necessary to distinguish between the time in which visible traces of silver halides disappear and the total time of fixing, which is approximately twice as long. Disappearance of silver halide traces does not indicate the completion of fixing.
In the rapid processing of photographic materials, fixing is often replaced with a less protracted operation called stabilization, which consists in the following: (1) rapid drying of the photosensitive layer after development, (2) neutralization of the alkaline developing agent remaining in the layer by treatment with an acid, (3) treatment with a solution of potassium iodide, and (4) extremely short-term processing with an acid fixer. Stabilization makes it possible to examine the photographic image before fixing. If the image is to be preserved, it is then fixed.
Other widely used processing techniques include high-speed combination methods for simultaneous development and fixing by means of special solutions that produce finished, fixed images; however, such processing methods result in a reduction in the photosensitivity of photographic materials.

You might want to read an article published Friday that reported:
Greece's Prime Minister has warned that his country is plunging into a 'Weimar Republic like' economic and social crisis; and,
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is travelling to Greece today to 'see for herself', in what will be her first trip to Athens since the crisis started.
Three comments:
that this is Ms. Merkel's first trip to Athens since the crisis started is hard to believe;
all good things have to end sometime, and 'sometime' seems to be rapidly approaching in the case of Greece; and,
can 'sometime' be far off for Spain, as Spain still as of Friday is not at the negotiating table?
Also see Greek austerity talks to continue, progress seen. Note that any compromise made now on the original terms of the Greek bailout (made many months ago) may:
have a direct 'precedent setting' impact on subsequent negotiations with Spain; and,
perhaps re-open completed negotiations with Ireland.
Could it be that Greek negotiations are the (or an important) reason Spain continues to postpone bailout requests?
You might also want to read Mrs. Merkel goes to Athens. Why? This Greek newspaper article published yesterday strikes me as being a particularly well balanced one that discusses some of the underlying political issues and perceived risks related to Ms. Merkel's visit today.

In its ninth year, Thunder over Michigan has evolved into one of the premiere warbird airshows in the United States. Greg Morehead sat down with the principal organizers to get the inside story on what it takes to put the event together.
The 517th Parachute Regimental Combat Team has partnered with the Commemorative Air Force's Great Lakes Wing to take military reenacting to a new level. They now have the ability to bring airshow spectators a glimpse of U.S. airborne operations during World War Two. Greg Morehead and Trey Carroll recently went along during on the group's performances.
Trey Carroll, a teenage warbird enthusiast and up and coming photographer, recently traveled across the Atlantic to visit the amazing Flying Legend's airshow. He brings his perspective to the event.
The Lone Star Flight Museum recently began operating their freshly restored Hawker Hurricane. Unfortunately, an operational accident and the recent flooding wrought by Hurricane Ike means that it will be some time before this magnificent aircraft will see air under its wings. Fortunately, Scott Germain was able to capture the Hurricane in the air and speak with LSFM pilot Charlie Tilghman and restoration expert Ray Middleton prior to the unfortunate events.
Bill Lewallen recently completed the total rebuild of his Yak-11. Peter Ruddle describes the significant restoration and its conversion from a Reno racer to an ultimate sport-plane warbird.
The 2008 edition of the National Championship Air Races was the first in many years to feature all of the top contenders in the Unlimited Championship race. There was plenty of activity and drama leading up to those seven laps and Scott Germain was there to report for Warbird Digest readers.
