Key Player To A
Successful Season
QB Brandon Harris, Jr. - With
Anthony Jennings transferring,
theres no looking over the
shoulder Harris is the LSU
quarterback wholl be the difference between a good offense
and a fantastic one. Everything
else around him is there to succeed, and now its his job to be
more efficient, more effective
Key Game
Nov. 5 vs. Alabama Any team
worthy of being talked about
for the CFP and maybe even the
national title should be able to
beat Wisconsin and Florida on
the road, and at least go 3-1
against those two, Arkansas and
Texas A&M on the road. Ole
Miss has to come to Death Valley; so does Alabama.

Summertime
Jewelry Care
Hot summer days and nights are
often dangerous times for precious
jewelry. Pearls, diamonds, gold
rings and tennis bracelets are
frequently victims. Active sports,
perspiration, pool water, and high
humidity can dim the luster and
even cause the loss of valuable
gems due to weakened settings.
Here are some tips to protect your
jewelry this summer.

Microscopes
in Dentistry
Because Bad
Things Come in
Small Packages
By Calvin Bessonet, DDS,FAGD
Precision is
Perfection
Seeing is Succeeding
The human mouth isn't a very
big place. And the structures
within your mouth that are of
concern are even smaller.
Furthermore, most of the
things that affect your oral
health are just plain tiny.
Sometimes the causes of
problems are invisible to the
naked eye. Areas of decay on
the teeth start small, so if your
dentist uses a microscope he can
find and treat the decay with a
small filling that will not only be
invisible, but will preserve the
maximum amount of tooth
structure ensuring the health
and stability of that tooth. It is
very common for teeth with
large fillings to develop cracks
Bigger is Better
That's exactly why Dr. Bessonet
uses a microscope in so many of
his cases. Consider a root canal
situation, for example. Thorough cleaning out of debris and
decay in tooth itself is absolutely critical to the
success of the treatment, and to
the long-term health of the
patient. The task in such a case
is to completely clean out all the
harmful Bacteria in the root
canal system that is made up of
multiple, tiny canals within the
roots that are about the size of
pencil lead sometimes. Using a
high-powered, illuminated
dental microscope, he can
Another advantage of
microscope use is that it
enables Dr. Bessonet to
perform restorative and
cosmetic procedures with
unbeatable precision. Teeth
surfaces and areas needing
repair are seen for what they
really are, so that materials and
methods can be chosen
accordingly. There's nothing
left to guesswork or chance.
And the result of this attention
to detail is accuracy of fit,
beautiful shaping, and a perfect
smile. Many times the key to
successful and long lasting
cosmetic treatment is preserving
as much enamel as possible.
By using a microscope,
Dr. Bessonet can be ultra
conservative in the way he
shapes the teeth, ensuring
beautiful, stable results.

Cooking
Gourmet at Home
with SNOS SEAFOOD & STEAKS
Ingredients:
2 Lbs Pork Tenderloin
(Cut into 2 inch Cubes)
Salt & Pepper to taste
Cup peanut oil
Buffalo Sauce
1 Cups Lousiana Hot Sauce
1 Cups Melted Butter
Cup Ketchup
1 tsp Granulated Garlic
1 Tbsp Crab Boil
Generously season the cubed pork with salt and pepper. In a
cast iron skillet or Dutch oven add your oil and preheat to
350 degrees. Add your pork tenderloin to the skillet until
achieving desired color and temperature. (approx. 7-12
minutes) Remove the pork from the skillet and allow it to rest
for at least 5 minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute
evenly in your meat. While the tenderloin is resting combine
your Buffalo Sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk
vigorously until smooth. Finally, toss your pork with the
buffalo sauce and serve.
You can also pan fry, grill, or deep fry the pork depending
yon your preference.
