This article is part 2 in my series on fluoride. See part 1 here. There is undeniable evidence that both the U.S. Government, and the U.S. Aluminum and related manufacturing industries have been attempting, since the 1940s, and more recently, the U.S. Dental industry, to cover up data about the potentially harmful effects of fluoride.

A good friend and budding photographer, recently asked me what lenses I recommend she buy to go with her new Canon T4i Digital SLR camera. Wow, I didn’t even know the T4i was out yet. I’m the happy owner of the previous generation, T3i. If you are reading this, and don’t own a Canon camera, fear not.

I was recently asked by a doctor friend of mine to sign a petition in support of adding fluoride to the water supply in Wichita, Kansas, where I live. Having been vaguely aware of a controversy surrounding the practice of water fluoridation, I informed my friend I would have to research the issue before I would be willing to sign such a petition.

This is a very simple recipe, but one that I really like, so I figured I’d share it anyway. It’s a personal favorite when served with beef stroganoff, but of course is good any time you want some green beans that aren’t as boring as usual. The end result is green beans with a pleasant nutty taste, and the lemon juice really compliments the almonds.

Tonight I made some cream of potato soup, adapted from a recipe I found at AllRecipes.com. Below is the recipe as I made it, along with some notes on possible modifications to make next time. I served this to a group of friends tonight, and everyone seemed to enjoy it. The only possible adjustment I would make is to reduce the cayenne pepper for anyone who doesn’t like spicy foods.

I had two main goals while shopping: Ultra-portable I do a fair amount of traveling, so I wanted something small. As the former owner of a 12" PowerBook, as well as an 11" Acer netbook, I also knew I loved the small form factor even for daily, non-travel use.

I’ve been a long-time hater of most sports movies, because they’re all the same, regardless of whether they’re based on a true story, or fiction.
