Top 10 local stories of 2020 — No. 10: Mel…
Top 10 local stories of 2020 — No. 10: Mel Tucker leaves CU Buffaloes football team one year into contract
Former University of Colorado Head Coach Mel Tucker discusses his new football recruits during National Signing Day on Dec. 18, 2019, at the University of Colorado Boulder in Boulder. Tucker resigned his five-year contract in February, just one year into it. (Jeremy Papasso / Camera file)
By Camera Staff |
The University of Colorado Boulder's Buffaloes football team and its fans were rocked in mid February when then coach Mel Tucker announced he was leaving the team for the head coaching job at Michigan State University.
Tucker's decision was announced Feb. 12 as Athletic Director Rick George kicked off his search for a replacement. The 48-year-old coach was just one year into the five-year, $14.75 million contract he had signed in December 2018.
His six-year contract with Michigan State is worth $5.5 million per year, according to the Associated Press, while the Athletic reported the program would double the assistant coaches' salary pool he had access to at CU Boulder.
Before the official announcement, rumors had been flying that the Spartans were courting Tucker to return to the program where he had begun his coaching career in the 1997-98 season as a graduate assistant.
Tucker joined George on several weekend visits with donors in California as the rumors circulated. He even went as far as to reiterate his commitment to the Buffaloes on several sports radio shows and in private conversations with George.
Because of the terms of his contract, Tucker repaid the university $3 million for terminating his contract at that point.
Before his departure, Tucker had generated new excitement in the football program, despite leading the team to a third consecutive 5-7 record.
In his first appearance as the Buffs' coach he led the team to a 52-31 drubbing of in-state rival Colorado State University. The rest of his tenure included the team's first win over Arizona State. He also boosted fan attendance, with average home game attendance at 49,573, the highest numbers by far since 2011.
But, despite the off-season loss of a much-vaunted coach and the difficulties of holding a college football season amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, it's not been all bad for the CU Buffaloes this year.
The team, led by new head coach Karl Dorrell, posted a 4-1 season, with a 3-1 record in conference play. That showing was enough to earn The Buffs an invitation to play Dec. 29 at the Valero Alamo Bowl in San Antonio, where they will take on the 6-3 Texas Longhorns.
It will be the Buffs' third appearance at the Alamo Bowl, but it will mark the first time the team has played in front of fans this season.
Meanwhile, Tucker led the Spartans to a 2-5 season.

Marvel Strike Force Adds Storm To Roster Of Playable Characters
Marvel Strike Force, the popular hero-recruiting turn-based mobile title, is adding its second member of the X-Men today in Storm. True to her abilities in the comics, Storm can manipulate the weather to attack and freeze enemies. Starting today, she's able to be recruited through the limited-time Eye of the Storm event campaign.
Similar to past event campaigns, Eye of the Storm allows players to battle through a series of story missions to earn orbs that contain character shards. The campaign features three difficulties, with higher difficulties yielding better rewards. To recruit Storm, players need to collect 45 Storm shards.
In March, I spoke with FoxNext VP and GM Amir Rahimi about working with Marvel for Marvel Strike Force. Though the development studio is under the Fox umbrella, Rahimi told me the team only acquired the Fox licenses as launch was nearing due to Marvel rarely licensing out Disney and Fox-owned properties for the same product. While the Marvel Strike Force team was able to justify having both licenses, it came later in the development cycle, so the team was only able to implement Wolverine for its March launch.
Firaxis Bringing Civilization VI To Nintendo Switch
Sid Meier's legendary Civilization series has fascinated turn-based strategy fans for decades, letting us build empires, explore foreign countries, develop new technologies, and ultimately conquer the world. Now, 2K and Firaxis have partnered with Aspyr Media to port Civilization VI to the Nintendo Switch.
The Switch version of Civilization VI does not include the Rise and Fall expansion that released earlier this year, but it does include a few additional post PC release content packs, so Switch fans will be able to colonize Australia in "Outback Tycoon," defend Poland from invaders in "Jadwiga's Legacy", plunder Europe in "Vikings, Raiders, and Traders!", or conquer the classical world in the "Conquests of Alexander."
Up to four players can compete or cooperate in world diplomacy via wireless play when Civilization VI finds its way onto the Switch on November 16.
Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition Comes To PlayStation 4, Xbox One, And Switch
Another of what is likely to be a Nintendo Direct reveal today, Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition was abruptly given a launch trailer announcing release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and soon Nintendo Switch. You can catch the trailer below.
The remade title is based on Final Fantasy XV but optimized for mobile devices. The story and voice acting are identical to the console game, but it has been transformed into a more streamlined and cutesy version. At the time of announcement, Square Enix intimated that it would also be a good fit for Switch, but they had not revealed anything then.
The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One store page listings for the title are up, but not the Switch page yet.
Rockstar Introduces Red Dead Redemption II's Cast
In the cryptic way they love to do, Rockstar started tweeting out pictures this morning of Red Dead Redemption II's cast. The tweets each had a picture of a character from the game, totaling 23 pictures, alongside one of their lines from the title. Luckily for you, we have compiled all the pictures here in slideshow form.
Red Dead Redemption II releases on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on October 26.
MMORPG Wildstar Shutting Down, Developer Carbine Closed
Wildstar, a sci-fi western-based MMORPG, is shutting down as the developer Carbine closes. The studio confirmed their closure in a statement to Kotaku today, culminating after months of pulling away from community engagement in the game.
"Today, we are closing Carbine Studios and will begin the process of winding WildStar down to ultimately shutter the game," Carbine parent company NCSoft said in a statement to Kotaku. "WildStar players who have spent money within the game will be refunded purchases from July 1, 2018 until the payment system is shut off. We are also in the process of identifying the teams that will be doing the work to bring WildStar to a close. These decisions are very difficult to make and we are in the midst of shifting as many of our teammates as possible into other roles within the organization."
Wildstar was first announced at Gamescom 2011 with a stated intention to differentiate itself from World of Warcraft, which many of the Carbine staff worked on. The game finally released in June 2014 with a monthly subscription. After a few months, NCSoft announced that the game would instead go free-to-play, which itself seemingly did not catch on. An exact date for the shut down has not been given.
Mega Man 11 Demo Released on Switch
In what was likely supposed to be timed with the now-delayed Nintendo Direct, Mega Man 11 has gotten a Switch demo available now on the eShop.
Jump in to the Mega Man 11 Demo, available now for Nintendo Switch in NA and EU, and coming to PS4 and XB1 starting tomorrow, Sep 7! ▶ https://t.co/zRsfWCKOhX pic.twitter.com/YN1pODD9Sz
The demo puts players in Block Man's stage, the pyramid-themed level puts Mega Man against conveyor-filled hazards and emphasizes learning how to use both the Power and Time gears. You face off with Block Man himself at the end and you have to be prepared for the way the fight changes when he feels cornered.
The Occasional Video Game Roles Of The Late Burt Reynolds
Burt Reynolds, the star of Smokey and the Bandit and a lifetime of other roles, passed away today at age 82.
While Reynolds was certainly best known for his roles in late-70s and early-80s movies, he also made an imprint on some pretty notable games. Reynolds voiced the billionaire tycoon Avery Carrington in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. The character appeared in Liberty City Stories, which takes place 12 years later, voiced by a different actor.
More recently, Reynolds appeared as himself in Volition's Saints Row: The Third, playing the Mayor of Steelport. Reynolds sends the player on a mission to rid Steelport of zombies. By completing the mission and dumping the truck of chemicals as the mayor asks, Reynolds joins the Saints and will come to the player's aid when called.
EA Holding A Tribute To Jacksonville Shooting Victims Today
After last week's tragic shooting at a Madden 19 tournament in Jacksonville, FL, people both in and out of the industry have been asking how they can help. Later today, EA is holding a tribute to the victims of the shooting to raise money for the official Gofundme benefiting the victims and surviving family. EA has confirmed that 100% of the collected funds go to the victims and their families.
The tribute livestream airs today at 2:00 p.m. PDT/5:00 p.m. ET. You can watch on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Mixer, and Twitch. We also have an embed right here.
The tragic shooting at Jacksonville, FL has affected the entire industry and many lives will never be the same. EA has cancelled plans for further Madden tournaments this year and multiple events have talked about trying to improve security in the wake of the shooting.
Capcom Hosting "Unmissable" Ace Attorney Panel At Tokyo Game Show
Capcom has announced that there will be a panel for Gyakuten Saiban, known in America as Ace Attorney, during the Tokyo Game Show later this month on September 22. Capcom made sure to note that the event is "unmissable" for fans of the series.
Whether or not there will be a new game announcement here isn't fully confirmed, however. A similar panel was held last year and no new game announcements were made at that panel, which basically talked to the team behind the Japan-only Dai Gyakuten Saiban games and talking about the anime. A second season of the anime was also announced earlier this year, which might be the subject of the panel.
However, Capcom's chief operating officer Haruhiro Tsujimoto said last year that a new Ace Attorney game is being planned for the Switch for fiscal year 2019. That time frame runs until March of next year, so if they plan to reveal that title anytime soon, they are rapidly running out of events to do so.

I just wanted to tell you how much my family loves your pizza especially the supreme. We have purchased other brands but nothing beats the taste or quality of yours. So a big thumbs up to you all from the Chase family!
Just a note to say I have become a customer for life. I normally do not write to a company but I bought the super sized sausage and pepperoni at a Wal-Mart here in Huntsville, AL.
It was fantastic and as I said, I have become a customer for life.
I wanted to drop you a line and say "Thank You" for making a pizza that doesn't taste like the cardboard box that it comes in. I've tried them all even the gourmet ones that promise only the best organic fresh crap they think taste good. You kept it simple and you kept it with the right amount of everything so you taste real pizza. Keep up the good work! I'll explore all your flavors and I know if you got the simple one right, the pepperoni you nailed the rest.
I am super impressed by your product. Over 2 pounds, delicious cheese and sauce and don't even get me started on crust. I was also impressed on how it only takes 12-16 minutes for how big it is. I've been a pizza lover for years. I started off with Tonys, moved to Jacks, Tombstone, but in the end they all started selling out and reducing the quality of their product. I hope you keep this up and I will never stop buying from you.

The humble Acrow prop, sometimes referred to as an Acro prop, is one of the most useful site accessories there is. When carrying out construction, renovation, or maintenance work, it is often required that walls will need to be removed, or the structural integrity of the building compromised in some way.
Of course, working in these conditions without suitable equipment can be incredibly dangerous, not only for your team, but everyone on site. The solution to maintaining said structural is simple; Acrow props.
These interlocking tube-like devices serve to provide the necessary structure support for otherwise dangerous buildings while works are being carried out. This means that your team can work in safety while doing essential work.
In addition to being practical, these props are fully adjustable and come in four sizes; regardless as to your situation, there'll be an Acrow suitable for the task.
Hire, rather than bulk retail purchasing of the props, also provides the benefit of not having to prepare long term storage. We all know that when there's too much equipment to store, things can get lost, damaged, or, even worse, rendered completely useless. It's a relief, then, to know that as soon as you've finished with any of the products you've hire with Lakeside-Hire, we collect them for you.
This way, there's no need for you to sort out another problem in finding a place for the props to go for the potentially large periods of time in which they're not being used. This means that you can focus more on the task at hand, allowing for more attention to be paid to the safety of your team, rather than the moving of your equipment.
So, if you're thinking that you'll have a need for Acrow prop hire services, call, email, or order online and we'll get you well on the way to an efficient, high quality hire.

Based out of Atlanta, Dark Side of The Room is made up of African-American performers of Dad's Garage Theater Company.
Dark Side travels around the city, state, country, and world with their unique improv format and run a show designed to highlight African-American performers across a wide arts spectrum.
In Dark Side's improv format, they take a classic movie (ex: Beetlejuice, Star Wars, Jaws, etc.) where there are often few to no black characters and improvise what the black people were doing during that movie.
Take a vibrantly woke, racially related current event and wrap it in a laugh and references from some of your favorite movies and you've got Dark Side Of The Room. Welcome to the Dark Side.
We're real excited about this. This year for the Improvised Play Festival, we have invited a guest director to put together a show just for the weekend.
The Ensemble Project is a special show assembled by a guest director from Amsterdam, and made up of local performers from Austin.
This year's ensemble show concept will be "Ghost of Love":
A show of multiple love stories: young, old, passionate, bored, budding, recovering, familiar and unusual.
Romantic relationships are filled with words and actions – but maybe even more with what is not said, what is not heard, and what is not expressed.
Which secrets do we hold from each other? What big emotions are we afraid to show? Where does our mind wander to?
The Hideout Mainstage returns!
La Vida de los Muertos is a fully-improvised story that takes place in the World of the Dead. Watch the Hideout Theatre be transformed into a joyous and fantastical underworld.
La Vida de los Muertos will be accompanied by local mariachi group Crockett High School Mariachi de Oro to round out this magical world and features an all-Latinx cast in full Dia de los Muertos inspired costumes and makeup.
Watch as a Big Gay Musical is created before your eyes as an homage to broadway and inspired by true stories from LGBTQIA+- identifying monologists told onstage during the show!
This never-before-seen, never-to-be-seen-again Big Gay Musical will feature queer protagonists, queer love stories and a whole heap of VERY EXTRA queer anthems.
Do you hear the people sing? Singing the songs they're making up?
An epic improvised tragic musical spectacular will be arriving at the Hideout . That musical, inspired by a very popular and very French musical, has never been seen before. And will never be seen again- because it will be completely improvised.
See the stories of triumphant heroes, tragic waifs who belt out songs right before they die, wide-eyed rebels, seedy side characters, lovestruck ingenues, cold-hearted villains — and more — unfold before your eyes.
Our Current Student Mainstage!
Everyone knows that growing up is hard! Small Town Girl is an improvised coming of age tale in the vein of Sixteen Candles, Ladybird, and The Edge of Seventeen.
This show provides a real look at what it's like to grow up as a young woman by exploring the relationships that shape us and the often overlooked and underappreciated beauty of the place we call home.
The Student Mainstage Returns!
The Well-Made Play is patient and confident. It takes its time building up its tension, building up your emotional investment, and when it finally cuts loose, you're right on the edge of your seat.
You're a giddy voyeur on the day when everything counts, and after which nothing can be the same.
The Well-Made Play is a fully improvised, full-length two-act play that takes its cues from traditional theater. Every move from both the cast and technical improvisers feels intentional and scripted. We're confident that you've never seen a show quite like this one!
Shannon Stott and Quinn Buckner are 'Twins', an improv duo creating stories from a black woman's perspective.
As experienced improvisors we've seen the slow positive change on stages but we still often see stories told from a white man's perspective. These stories happen by default and seemingly regardless of the actual demographic on stage. The non-white, non-men subconsciously or consciously do work to get on the same page.
Twins asks the white man to do the work, on stage in front of you. We ask him to help present stories from a perspective not his own, specifically his partner's, a black woman.

Champion Bolo Bun's Young Boss, 21, On How She Set Up S'por...
Champion Bolo Bun's Young Boss, 21, On How She Set Up S'pore's Buzziest Cafe
Hoh Loyi trained in the male-dominated kitchen of a Hong Kong cha chaan teng for two years before opening her own bolo bun biz.
Yip Jieying
cafe champion bolo bun tanjong pagar curry potatoes coffee milk tea hong kong nai cha tea master pineapple bun
"Have you been to Champion Bolo Bun?" is a question we have been hearing from our family and friends. The 70-seat cafe, housed in a three-storey Tanjong Pagar shophouse, is one of the most exciting additions to Singapore's F&B scene since its soft opening in April this year.
There are only bolo buns here
It sells just its namesake bolo bao, aka pineapple bun, the classic Hong Kong cha chaan teng pastry with a burnished, craggy crust that resembles a pineapple rind. The bolo bun comes in four iterations: Classic, Classic with Butter, Curry Potato and Mini of 4.
Queues form almost immediately
Just a week after opening, the cafe already has a snaking line and a 30-minute wait for its freshly-baked bolo buns. Customers start queuing up half an hour before opening. It's the dream scenario for F&B owners, but one that's as rare as an empty hawker centre table at peak lunch hour.
Classic with Butter, $5
Champion's massive popularity boils down to this: it offers the uncommon combination of fab food and drinks in a visually appealing space. The sparse, all-white cafe resembles a Japanese art museum, with tasteful rattan and wooden furniture scattered around.
This cafe's golden-brown buns, served fresh out of the oven, sport a lightly crisp — almost crunchy — buttery and eggy crust crowning a soft, fluffy bun. Order the fantastic Classic with Butter ($5), and you get a thick pat of cold New Zealand butter wedged in. But we say splurge on a few rounds of the Curry Potato ($6), stuffed with a fragrant, mildly spicy potato filling. The Classic ($4.50) and Mini of 4 ($4.50) are just as good, but go for the other buns if you want maximum satisfaction.
Opened by a 21-year-old boss
The owner and driving force behind Champion Bolo Bun is 21-year-old Hoh Loyi. Born in Kuala Lumpur to a family who runs their own hardware business, she moved to Singapore to study when she was in Primary Two. After completing her 'O' Levels at Broadrick Secondary School, Loyi's friends made plans to attend local junior colleges and polytechnics. But she had a different idea.
Curious about bread-making, she decided to study the subject at the China Grain Products Research & Development Institute in Taipei. "Bread is a very mature and respected industry in Taiwan," she enthuses to 8days.sg. "A lot of people go there to learn bread-making theory, and bakers are brought to a whole new level there."
She recognises that "a lot of science and chemistry goes into making good bread". She muses: "It's 30 per cent theory, 70 per cent practical. You need to know the basic theories well. My textbook was so thick. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not even halfway through it!"
But Loyi took her one-year course in Taiwan seriously. "I wasn't there to waste time or have fun. I wanted to explore if this route was suitable for me," she explains. "The institution was so ulu, I had to take a bus for 45 minutes from the train station at Tamsui, and walk another 15 minutes to school."
A young girl in a male-dominated cha chaan teng kitchen
Loyi's year in Taiwan cemented her love for baking. "I was like, oh! I really like it! I want to be a baker," she chirps. After she returned to Singapore, Loyi admits to "feeling lost for a few months", while she figured out what to do next.
During a trip to Hong Kong in 2016, she frequented a cha chaan teng — she declined to name which — in Mongkok which serves "the best-rated bolo buns in HK". A fan of the pastry, she boldly asked the head chef there to teach her how to make bolo buns. Unsurprisingly, he turned her down. "He didn't just accept me. But I persistently asked him a few more times, and he decided to take me in," she recalls.
Trained for two years
Loyi, who's fluent in Cantonese, would remain there for two years as an apprentice. "It was very traditional. The people in the kitchen were mostly male, and sometimes they were shirtless and in shorts," she says. "There were no women working in that kitchen, and I was only 19 then. It was like, 'Who is thaaaat!"
Her shifu (Chinese for 'teacher') taught her his own self-created bolo bun recipe. "He and his right hand man patiently guided me," says Loyi. "I asked him why he was willing to teach me. He said, 'I was looking at how you performed'. I wasn't sure if it was because I was very driven. I don't want to be hao lian (Hokkien for arrogant) lah (laughs). But it was quite unreal."
At the cha chaan teng, she picked up methods like using traditional ovens to bake the bolo buns, which she also installed in Champion's kitchen. "You need to stick your hand in to test whether it's hot enough. If it feels a bit unbearable, that's when you put the buns in," she explains.
"I have to guard his recipe and make a good product"
After returning to Singapore, Loyi made plans to open Champion Bolo Bun with her shifu's blessings. "He just called me last week to ask me how my shop was doing. Some people take up an apprenticeship to 'steal' skills. But I didn't go in with the intention to open a bolo bun shop. I was just someone who loves making bread," she says.
She was also motivated to make her teacher proud. She avers: "It was my good fortune that he wanted to teach me, and I have to guard his recipe and make a good product. I didn't want to let him down."
Building a champion brand
Loyi came up with a simple but meaningful name for her shop: Champion Bolo Bun. "Champion is an old-fashioned name, but quality is first to us," she says earnestly. "The buns are all fresh out of the oven, we don't heat them up. You can't fake the bread aroma in the shop. Who doesn't love a freshly baked bun?"
She takes her standards so seriously that the cafe has a "no arguments" policy to replace, for free, the bolo buns that are not consumed within 20 minutes. "It's okay if people take advantage. What we value are returning customers who will bring more customers. This is an investment," she explains.
But Loyi had also done her math; at $4.50 for the most basic Classic bolo bun made with Japanese flour and New Zealand butter ($5 for a Classic with Butter), her bakes are the priciest in town. "Some people said, '$5 bolo bun, so expensive'. The $5 takes care of the ingredients and labour," she says.
Due to her background studying bread-making in Taiwan and bolo bun-making in Hong Kong, Loyi created a hybrid bolo bun that caters to the local palate. "The crust is 100 per cent my teacher's recipe. But the buns in Hong Kong are tougher, and Singaporeans like fluffy, soft buns. So I came up with my own bun recipe," she says.
On making traditional food for young people
Loyi also made the humble bolo bun, well-loved but decidedly untrendy, appeal to younger generations. "Before I opened [my shop], we did five pop-ups at Expo, a food fair at Ang Mo Kio and Artbox to test the market, because it was low-cost," she recalls. "Artbox was the one that changed my route. Bolo bun is traditional food, but it was all millennials there and the queues started forming. I realised then that bolo bun is a very diverse thing — even young people like it. I was very stunned."
Bumpy road to being a business owner
A "big fan of [brands like] %Arabica, Blue Bottle Coffee and Aesop", Loyi began crafting the look for her cafe, which she wanted to be "very minimal". Setting up shop costs "six figures" with a sleeping partner. Renovations took a year, with delays caused by Covid-19 and "a bad experience with an interior design firm".
When things didn't work out with the ID firm she initially engaged, Loyi landed back on square one. "Looking back, it was like going through a breakup," she jokes. She confided her woes to her businessman dad, who had also built his hardware biz in Malaysia from scratch. "I was like, I did nothing wrong. Why did I get screwed over?" she lamented. "And my dad's only advice to me was, 'Suck it up. Complain to me also no use' (Guffaws)"
But father and daughter bonded over their shared experience of running a business. "I got closer with him, because we've common topics to talk about. Even though my dad and I are from different industries, emotionally and physically it's the same," says Loyi. Apart from "having no social life", she acknowledges that starting Champion has been enriching for her. "But the word 'entrepreneur' is a bit cringey to me, because I'm just doing what I love," she muses.
Champion's sleek logo and high-end packaging, which adds to the dining experience, is also designed by a young talent. "It was all done by my secondary school friend, who's a second-year design student at RMIT," shares Loyi.
Tea recipes by HK tea masters
She lavishes similar attention on the beverages she serves, which includes Coffee, Milk Tea, Lemon and express-based options like Americano and Latte. "We're coming up with a beverage campaign soon, 'cos there's this misconception that our bolo buns are the main draw and beverages are just an accompaniment. But both are the stars," says Loyi earnestly.
Champion's Milk Tea, $5.50 (Hot), $6 (Iced)
The thick, silky Milk Tea here is a decadent treat. We find it so intense to the point of tannicity at times, but it's robust with a lovely floral fragrance.
Champion's tea leaves and coffee beans are imported from Hong Kong. According to Loyi, the recipes like the heady Champion's Lemon Tea were "taught by tea championship masters through my shifu's connections — it's not your regular teh peng, and the coffee is like a cold brew".
Tea championship masters are so revered in Hong Kong, they sport medals that they have won in milk tea-brewing competitions. "Our items are very minimal, so they have to be good," says Loyi. "The food that tastes extra good has extra effort put into it. They will stand out naturally, because consumers are smart."
On opening outlets
Loyi has set her sights on the international market, having trademarked her brand in Europe, US and China. There are plans to open a shophouse outlet in Kuala Lumpur ("where I was born") and New York ("it's like a migrating state, so I'm [sure] our product will be popular there as well"). She adds, "We are open to collaborations too if there's a potential opportunity for our third store."
Despite Champion Bolo Bun's popularity, don't expect a Starbucks-style bolo bun chain in Singapore alone. "We don't want to be mainstream. But it depends on whether there are new opportunities," says Loyi, who reasons: "I don't want this to be like a hype. Business is long-running, and I don't want to climb up overnight and fall hard."
Address: 92 Tanjong Pagar Road, S088513.
Opening hours: Open Tues-Sun, 11am-7pm (till 4pm before Aug 10).

When men and women seek cosmetic dentistry to improve their smile, porcelain veneers from The Parkway Dentist in Fort Worth are a popular option. Unlike a crown that completely covers the tooth, a veneer is a super thin layer of a very tough porcelain, composite bonding, or ceramic.
When bonded to a tooth, the veneer creates a natural, translucent, and new surface. With its natural appearance, it improves the look of the visible portion of your tooth instantly.
Before getting a porcelain veneer, you will need a consultation. You should look at what you do not like about your smile and determine how you want it improved. Veneers may not be optimal for you. Other cosmetic dental procedures are available that may be a better fit for the characteristics you wish to change.
Porcelain veneers can correct many minor to moderate troubles, including the size, shape, and color of your teeth. Gaps between teeth can be filled, as well as the lengthening or shortening of teeth to complete your beautiful smile.
The Parkway Dentist in Fort Worth can help you evaluate your unique needs and guide you on how to reach your dental goals. We also provide general and family dentistry. Schedule an appointment with us today.

Album Review: Flower Boy
July 31, 2017 by Khadijah Plummer
Officially known as Scum F**k Flower Boy (hereafter SFFB), the latest album by Tyler, the Creator is making waves on charts everywhere. It was named "Best New Music" hours after its release on July 21, and the single "Who Dat Boy" ft. A$AP Rocky was the #1 streamed song on Spotify that day, as well.
I have to admit that after Tyler's last album, Cherry Bomb, I had very low expectations for SFFB. Now don't get me wrong… I didn't hate Cherry Bomb. I really loved a few of the songs, such as the jazzy "FIND YOUR WINGS." However, given how I normally respond to Tyler's work, I was incredibly underwhelmed.
With every listen of SFFB, I like the album more. Some of my favourite tracks include:
"Who Dat Boy"
"I Ain't Got Time"
There's been talk about the lyrics of tracks like "Garden Shed" being an admission of Tyler's homosexuality. If that's the case, more power to him; love is love. Although as a long time listener, I get the feeling that the lyrics could literally just be in place to spark interest and conversation. In "I Ain't Got Time," he says that he's "…been kissing white boys since 2004." Who really knows besides Tyler?
If you haven't already, Tyler fan or not, give this album a go. If you like mellower rap, this is the direction to go in. There are quite a few soft vocals and piano samples sprinkled throughout, which definitely adds to my list of reasons why I enjoy it so much.
Watch the video for "Who Dat Boy" here:

You may have heard the term "pre-tax" in the context of your company sponsored retirement plan (401k or similar). What you may not realize is just how beneficial, and rare, that term really is.
Let's Assume Your Employer Offers a Retirement Savings Plan Like a 401k.
These types of tax-favored retirement plans allow participants to contribute some of their salary to their 401k account before taxes are assessed. If you don't contribute anything to your 401k, your friends at the IRS will assess taxes on ALL of your salary.
So not only have you socked away badly needed funds for your retirement, you have also managed to cut your tax bill by $1,000 in the process! The only loser in this equation is the IRS. Another way to look at this benefit would be to say that you only had to put $4,000 of your own money away for retirement and the IRS kicked in another $1,000. Keep in mind: The more money you make, the higher the tax bracket you could be in. This means you get an even bigger tax benefit when you contribute to your 401k. You can also increase your tax benefit by increasing your contributions. In 2018, if you are under age 50, you can sock away up to $18,500 pre-tax into your 401k.
Please do not miss out on taking advantage of this one. So go ahead, thumb your nose at the IRS and stick as much money as you can into your 401k. Your future retirement lifestyle thanks you!

Home / Expo / Are 2 new Nintendo Switch's on the way?
Rumor has it that there are a pair of new Nintendo Switch consoles en route to E3. One more powerful than the current, and one aimed at casual games.
The Switch has, to put it mildly, been another hit for Nintendo. While the Wii generations went from great to dismal, the Switch has been a star. The little console has surged in sales and cemented the Nintendo name in the modern gaming arena once again.
And now, there may be something else on the way, if a report from the Wall Street Journal can be believed. As this hasn't even remotely been confirmed by Nintendo though, take all of this with a grain of salt. As for what's rumored, well we might be getting not 1, but 2 new Switch's.
Nintendo is alleged to be showing the consoles off at its E3 Direct presentation, and they'll be both more and less powerful than the standard model.
The lighter-weight unit will supposedly be aimed squarely at casual gamers, and will have a cheaper cost than the base Switch. As for the powerhouse of the family, don't get too excited – it still likely won't be able to touch the higher end Xbox and PS4 models in terms of raw power.
What it will do though, is stock some features that the current Switch does not. What might those be? Your guess is as good as ours.
Stay tuned, we'll have much more on this, if it's accurate, come E3 2019. For now, you can read more at the source link below.

Fiscal year 2021 gives Louisiana $1 billion surplus
by: Shannon Heckt
Posted: Oct 11, 2021 / 06:00 PM CDT / Updated: Oct 11, 2021 / 06:02 PM CDT
BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) – The state of Louisiana will have some extra money to work with after the economy bounced back from the pandemic better than expected.
At the start of the pandemic, those in charge of forecasting the year's revenue saw the economy shutting down and other negative indicators. So, they forecasted for a lower revenue amount, but the state has been performing well in the fiscal year 2021 and exceeded that prediction.
"You're not going to hit it right on the money. Try though you may there our revenue estimating conference is not going to get it exactly on the money," Commissioner of Administration Jay Dardenne said. "You like to structure a budget based upon having money at the end of the year that can be used to make up for some things that arose during the year that you didn't have a budget for."
Fiscal year 2022 is already showing promise.
"We're optimistic of where we'll be in this fiscal year," Dardenne said.
Economist forecasts Baton Rouge's economy for 2022-2023
Fiscal year 2021 is ending with $1 billion in surplus. Under the constitution, some of that money will have to go towards the Budget Stabilization Fund. Around $650 million will be allowed to be spent.
"We'll recommend that money be evenly divided between coastal projects, deferred maintenance projects within the state primarily on university campuses, and the department of transportation and development to go to the backlog we have on our roads and bridges," Dardenne said.
The state legislature is also tasked with doling out the remaining money from the American Rescue Plan. There are still over a billion dollars to be used with only half being allocated in the 2021 legislative session. The first pot was put towards ports, broadband expansion, and refilling the unemployment fund among other agencies and projects.
With the rare chance of an excess of money, a lot of once-in-a-lifetime projects can move forward.
"The good news is I think we will have a significant amount of money to spend and I hope and believe that we will spend it wisely," Dardenne said.
The use of that money will be decided by lawmakers in the 2022 regular session.

Hey, what do you think of Mila Kunis?


A fantastic stay at this little hotel right at the edge of the old town. Friendly stay, a comfortable bed, clean and well maintained at a reasonable price. I couldn't be happier.
The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. I was happy to pay the parking charge for the convenience of being able to park securely with direct access to the hotel. it was an easy 10 minute walk to the lovely old town. Overall, a great choice for the price.
Overall, nothing wrong with this hotel. We were surprised to find the hotel under renovation and think it would have been fair to be informed about it. Luckily, we stayed on a sunday.

Students Participated in a "Day On" this MLK Day
by The Pulse | Jan 23, 2018 | News, Student Life | 0 comments
Maddie Conley
This year, MLK Day became a "day on" instead of a day off for many Messiah students as they served in the greater Harrisburg community. The Agape Center partnered with nine organizations to serve in remembrance of Martin Luther King Jr.
The nine organizations were Paxton Ministries, the Islamic Society of Greater Harrisburg, Silence of Mary Home, Bethesda Women's Shelter, and five projects within the Allison Hill community including Brethren Housing Association, Harrisburg First Church of the Brethren, bcmPEACE, Christian Churches United, and a lunch prep project for all of the volunteers serving.
Paula Holtzinger, '18, orchestrated the details for the service day and also served with bcmPEACE. "The goals I had for this day of service were for all of the projects to go smoothly, for the volunteers to gain a deeper sense of appreciation for our greater community (beyond the Messiah bubble), to actually get to know who our neighbors are, and to understand that honoring Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King is more than sharing a picture or quote of him on social media," said Holtizinger.
Students rake leaves at the Islamic Society of Greater Harrisburg PC: Sam Rockhill
Students who participated did a variety of things including doing housekeeping projects and socializing with residents of Paxton ministries. Others raked leaves at the Islamic Society of Greater Harrisburg or prepared food at Silence of Mary Home and Bethesda Women's Shelter.
Madilyn Keaton, '18, helped rake leaves at the Islamic Society. "The work our volunteers did saved a lot of cleaning time that would otherwise have to be carried out by people who are already contributing a lot of their time and energy to the running of the mosque," said Keaton.
Keaton also enjoyed getting to socialize with some of the Muslim volunteers. "I personally had a great conversation with one of the Muslim volunteers about how Islam and Christianity have very similar value systems and how much he appreciated that the female volunteers had covered their heads out of respect for their faith," said Keaton.
Joseph Keller, '18, led a group of students to the Silence of Mary home, which is a home for families. The team packed hygiene bags and cataloged their food donations. "One impact that consistently came up in discussions with the volunteers was how the media portrayal of Allison Hill and the homeless population is misleading and wrong," said Keller.
Kasandra Grab, the Volunteer Coordinator at Paxton Ministries, was grateful for the time students took to come serve. "Our residents appreciated the students playing bingo and joining them for lunch. We love having Messiah College students serve here," said Grab.
MLK service day helped students put their faith and love of neighbors into action. "After reviewing feedback from both our community partners and our volunteers I believe the day was very successful," said Holtzinger.

Q: Glide fails to load image from Resource Id in release version with code obsfucation Using Glide, when I try to load from Resid, the image never loads on my release variant, it works fine on debug variant.
Below is my code.
Glide.with(activity.applicationContext).load(R.drawable.mydrawable).into(imageView)

However, it works if I give image URL or file path on both release & debug variant
Below is my proguard configuration
# Glide
-keep class com.bumptech.glide.** { *;}
-keep public class * implements com.bumptech.glide.module.GlideModule
-keep public class * extends com.bumptech.glide.GeneratedAppGlideModule
-keep public enum com.bumptech.glide.load.resource.bitmap.ImageHeaderParser$** {
  **[] $VALUES;
  public *;
}

A: Could try getting the drawable of the resource first, then loading that with Glide:
Drawable d = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.mydrawable, null);
Glide.with(activity.applicationContext).load(d).into(imageView)

A: What is Glide?
Glide supports fetching, decoding, and displaying video stills, images, and animated GIFs. Glide includes a flexible API that allows developers to plug in to almost any network stack.
What you are doing is loading from drawable to imageView.
You don't need Glide for this,you can simply do:
imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.mydrawable);

Does Rsync plugin accept for remote backup (push) a domain (eg. u00000-sub1.your-storagebox.de) instead of an ip address ?
I tried (and selected "remote" + "push") but it always backup in a new rep called "u00000-sub1.your-storagebox.de" on the local disk.
Like this (generic user for the screenshot).
Have you tried adding the rsync:// ?
I tried but i doesn't work better.
Never mind, i think that i'll change my plan and go with a remote mount of the backup as suggested here.

Perfect to store your bike safely indoors. Make has come up with this brilliant Bike Rack that is wall mounted and comes with a shelf to store your bike inside as well as expose it at the same time. The rack has been beautifully carved out of solid wood (you can choose from walnut or maple) and includes custom handmade bronze screw caps in order to hide the mounting screws. You can mount any bike with a maximum handlebar length of 19" on it. Bike mounting at home won't seem a tedious job anymore.


What was called a "perch pole" on a banjo in the old days?
The neck. String quality not being what it is today, banjoists often used fishing line instead. Cheaper too. Although it too could break, it was easy to leave a bunch extra on the tuner up by the peghead, which was then often used for ice fishing. The banjo would be put in a forked stick over the hole in the ice, and the perch would bite on the hook attached to the other end of the string.
Fishing Blues was written in an ice fishing shack on Raquette Lake, Hamilton County, NY . It has nothing at all to do with Hamilton County Breakdown.
What was called an "Apron" on a banjo in the old days?
The edge of the pot. Any mention of a skirt was too risqué for polite company, so a similar but more mentionable garment, the apron, was used in mixed gender gatherings. At Slingo Sam's Saloon and Fancy House in Ray, Arizona, they did not mince words though, and called it a skirt.
What known banjo had the first cast metal tone ring?
A banjo built and aggressively marketed in the gold rush country of California, circa 1852. It was made with a cast gold tone chamber by one Felonious Williams of Sonoma, California as part of the line of boutique catalog items to market to the nouveau riche of the gold fields. Gold was used because it was handy, easy to cast and could be priced high. The Williams of Sonoma banjo was branded with the name Gold Stir, because the same pour was also used to make golden soup ladles for the catalog that were though to be a sure seller at the time.
Quite surprisingly, the market was not as strong as expected, and the company moved on to other items still in line with its basic high end sales philosophy. No examples of the Gold Stir banjo or the ladles are known to survive. It is worth noting that history becomes garbled and thus the name of Williams of Sonoma has been erroneously reported in the press as Williamstone, and credit falsely given to a Birmingham kettle drum tuner named Williams. Such are the difficulties of documenting the folk process.
What kind of animals do gut strings come from?
The question is incorrectly phrased. It should read, "What kind animals do gut strings come from?"
To get gut strings, gut string technicians interview literally thousands of animals to determine if their personality is of a kind, caring and sharing enough nature to produces the sweet sounding tones valued in gut strung banjos. It has been found animals with unpleasant dispositions yield harsh, twangy, raw sounding (almost like steel!) gut strings. This is also the reason the animals are murdered in their sleep, so that no harsh emotions are included in the string manufacture.
The apprenticeship to become a master gut string maker is a very long and secret path.
I don't believe you. That's the craziest thing I've ever heard. I heard you recently got the real skinny about gut string manufacture form an old Adirondack woodsman.
OK, OK, there is a bit more from Bill Gokey, formerly of the Cranberry Lake region in the 1950's and tutee of E. J. Dailey.
"Little known fact: The old timers made the finest "gut" strings from a rare fur-bearing animal found only in the remote wilds of the Cold Brook "high peaks" region of the Adirondack Mountains in Northern New York State - the only place in the continental U.S. where these elusive animals can still be found. E.J. Dailey, one of the last of the high wilderness trappers, used to trap them for their fur and entrails, too. He told me that people like Farland, Levitt, Green, & DeJango used to practically beg for these strings and would pay any price. The fur was also very valuable at the time; it was used to make expensive sweaters for the affluent socialites of the 1919 - 1942 pre-war era.
"These animals were best trapped in a "cubby-pen" set originated by the renowned trapper & fur-bearing animal authority, E. J. Dailey (look him up on the web.) A cubby-pen is a three sided enclosure with a roof which is big enough for the animal to enter. Bait and lure is placed in the back. A forked branch with a leather pouch across the fork is placed outside the entrance, aimed & bent back to a certain tension, and tied to the bait in the cubby-pen with a line and an adjustable triggering mechanism. When the animal pulls on the bait, the trigger lets go and throws the contents of the leather pouch on the backside of the animal at the base of the tail. These animals were obsessed by Roquefort cheese and that was E.J.s secret of catching them; he used that for the bait.
"E.J.'s method was an example of the most humane way of trapping that was ever devised. The leather pouch on the forked stick contained about an ounce of powered salt-peter. When this hit the backside of the animal, it caused his whole rear end to go limber so the animal couldn't move - it was completely "limp" for at least 48 hours! That is why the finest gut strings were made from their entrails - they were completely relaxed and no interviews by "high-priced technicians" was necessary. All E.J. had to do was to walk around and pick them up..! Their fur was used to make fine moe-hair sweaters. But, alas, they were trapped to near extinction and the conservation authorities declared them an endangered species shortly after the onset of WW-2 . The name of the animal was the "Moe!"
What did the old-timer put on skin heads to keep moisture out of them?
For what purpose were Mastertones actually created?
To prop up the sagging bronze market following WWI. Many military items were made of bronze/brass and profits were high. Things were leaner in the copper mines in the 20's and 30's, so the philosophy of design was "Make 'er heavy, Lloyd." (An unnamed executive had heavy holdings on margin in copper stocks). This trend is borne out by the ever increasing amount of copper alloys used through the 30's, culminating in the Top Tension.
An illegal incentive payment by the Zamac Trust to a different employee of the Gibson company is the rumored reason for the material in the cast flanges, tension hoops and rumored flat head tone rings. Zamac had seen the success of the Cupric Trust, and followed suit. A congressional committee was convened to investigate, but the repeal of Prohibition sparked parties in the capitol city, and the investigation floundered. It was the original plan to have cast brass flanges.
What famous recording artist did Don Reno listen to inspire him to play banjo instead of saxophone?
An Edison cylinder recording of Peter Petrokopolis and his Palpathetic Polka Pumpers playing "Selections From Tibetan Temple Bell Melodies and Aborigine Didgire Do (sic.) Tunes.". He had been considering the saxophone, but was so taken by the cross cultural music of Petrokopolis that he had to play something at once. There being a banjo in the room, and no saxophone in the house, he set out at once to make his mark on the world with the banjo with the exclamation, "Why, I could play some of those Yankee Tin Pan Alley songs on the banjo!".
The cylinder recording was offered as a free bonus for a short time with boutique aluminum cookware from the now defunct Martha Stew It company mail order catalog, circa 1931. This cookware was made from melted down WWI Zeppelin frames, and a certificate of authenticity was enclosed with each pot signed by Luftsleutnant Fredrich von Gazgesass. No banjos are known to have been made from these pots.
From who did Ralph Stanley learn to play three finger instead of two finger style and where did it take place?
Ralph realized in a flash that he could use more than the 2 fingers he had been using, and proceed to develop the laser clear picking style he is known for. The fact that not the laser, the parallel universe concept nor the Calvin and Hobbs comic strip was in existence at this time has no significance to the matter.

Essex is home to groundbreaking innovation both in the academic and business sectors.
University of Essex (UoE) and Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) have both ranked highly in recent studies, with UoE entering the Complete University Guide's top 30 for the first time in eight years in 2018.
Meanwhile, both UoE and ARU made it into the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2018 list.
The University of Essex's strengths in research and education alongside its international outlook meant the university achieved its highest ranking for four years (the 251-300 category).
Anglia Ruskin, which also figured prominently in that study, was named the UK Entrepreneurial University of the Year in 2014 and will be opening the county's first School of Medicine in 2018. The Medbic Business Innovation Centre, located on the Anglia Ruskin campus, provides high-specification accommodation for medical and advanced engineering technology businesses.
Thanks to its universities, Essex is the location of choice for high-technology businesses seeking world-class knowledge, highly skilled personnel, access to specialist funding and global connectivity.
Elsewhere, Harlow College is collaborating with London Stansted Airport, to create the 'Stansted Airport Academy' – the first on-site education college of its kind at any major UK airport – due to open in autumn 2018. Stansted already plays a huge role in the life sciences sector as part of the London-Stansted-Cambridge Corridor.
The life sciences sector is heavily reliant on airport facilities, with the speed of air freight delivery crucial for 'just-in-time' and high-value goods such as pharmaceuticals and biopharma samples.
Essex's location, within Europe's largest life sciences cluster, makes it well-placed to collaborate with the Cambridge and London life sciences clusters.
Within Essex lies Chesterford Research Park, in Saffron Walden, which Uttlesford District Council purchased a 50% share of last year to become joint owners alongside Aviva Investors. To date, more than 300,000 sq ft of laboratory and R&D space has been let and occupied. Further phases of construction are proposed to extend the development to approximately 1 million sq ft.
Also located within the established London-Stansted-Cambridge Corridor, will be the soon-to-open Harlow Science Park, creating a new life sciences facility as part of the Harlow Enterprise Zone and Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst.
As further evidence of the county's commitment to being at the forefront of new technology, Colchester recently announced its intention to develop its economic growth plans through improving connectivity.

1964 Bentley S3 saloon. Blue over sage with original grey leather. Lovely Original car with superb history and original handBooks etc. Excellent Driving example, could benefit from some cosmetic paintwork and detailing. We will sell this lovely car as it is fully serviced, OR We can rectify all the cosmetic paint to the buyers requirements,.. your choice. From 39950.
Excellent example. Finished in Black with Tan Connolly hide. Only 94,000 miles from new. Known to The Chelsea Workshop since 1990.
This is a great colour combination, Extensive history file and has been in the same ownership for the last 41 years. We have just recarpeted it in Dark Blue Wilton. It drives and runs beautifully.
Bentley S3 Saloon; 1965 Bentley S3 finished in Bordeaux with a black hide interior with perfect Walnut Veneers.
1962 saw the introduction of the S3 variant of the factory bodied standard steel saloon and at first glance it would appear that the all new S3 was merely an S2 with different headlamps. The introduction of the twin headlamps was clearly the most obvious change, but the differences did not end there. Further changes included the introduction of smaller bumper over riders and the repositioning of the front indicators and side lamps into one single unit on the front wing, resulting in an arguably more attractive appearance. Mechanically speaking the S3 was issued with larger 9:1 compression ratio carburettors, improved power steering to aid smoother movement at parking speed and a Lucas vacuum-advance distributor to aid fuel consumption making it almost identical in mechanical specification to the S3 Continental that was being produced at the same time. This particular example, Chassis No B480CN, was completed in May of 1963, finished in masons black with a beige leather interior. It was ordered byMr J Brazil of Amersham in Buckinghamshire and supplied by Jack Barclay Ltd. It was ordered with electric windows and an auxiliary fuel tank for long distance journeys. Mr Brazil used the car extensively during his seven year ownership period, driving 70,000 miles. The car was then sold via Jack Barclay in 1970 to its second owner, Mr C Price of Ludlow in Shropshire. The car passed to his son in 1974 who owned it until 1987 at which point the mileage was 80,000 miles. The third owners were Mr and Mrs Cornish of Wanstead in London who set about some cosmetic improvements upon purchase, all listed in the cars history file. The car was owned by Mr St John Miller from 1998 to 2000 who sold it to Mr G Purdie. During Mr Purdies ownership, the car received substantial improvements, including a full coachwork restoration, mechanical works and new carpets to compliment the original leather interior which the car still retains today. To date, the car has travelled 97,000 miles from new. It is complete withan extensive history file, small and large tools and handbook. This fine example is serviced, prepared and ready for its fortunate next owner.
By late 1962 the success of the S Series Continental Bentleys entered its third and final chapter, with the introduction of the S3 Continental. The major cosmetic change was the introduction of the twin headlight system, providing Bentley drivers with more illumination. Mechanically speaking the S3 Continental was very similar to the S2 Continental, but benefited from having larger carburettors fitted and an upgraded power steering system. The success of the Vilhelm Koren designed Bentley S2 Continental had pleased the powers that be at Park Ward and his design was adapted for the S3 Continental chassis, with the introduction of twin headlights. The coachwork did not lend itself happily to horizontal headlights so they were instead positioned on a slight slant, a design that has commonly become known as the Chinese Eye. Chassis No BC100XE which we are currently offering for sale is one of fifty eight cars built in right hand drive to Design No 2006 by Mulliner/Park Ward on the S3 Continentalchassis. It was originally completed in December of 1965, finished in valentine brown with a black hood and a blue leather interior. It was supplied by Jack Barclay Ltd through their west London showroom to its first owner, Mr John Osborne of Chester Square in London. Being a late production example, it benefits from having the slightly lipped wheel arches and chrome strips on the coachwork, giving it arguably a more attractive appearance than the earlier cars. During the 1980s the car was exported to the United States and in around 2012 it was restored to its striking current configuration, in dark green with a tan hood and a fawn leather interior and matching hood cover. It was supplied in 2014 to its present owner and formed part of a small collection of high quality cars. It comes fully serviced, prepared and tested by Frank Dale & Stepsons and is complete with copy chassis cards and tools. This model continues to become more popular each year and we consider this fine example to not only be avery usable and beautiful classic Bentley, but also one that may benefit from future appreciation in value.
Chassis No BC4XD which we are currently offering for sale is one of just seventeen cars produced in right hand drive to Design No CV100 by James Young on the S3 Continental chassis. It was produced as direct competitor to the H.J.Mulliner styled Flying Spur and was a great success, with its flowing lines and stylish appearance. This particular car was completed in March 1965 to the order of Mr J Edwards of Farnham Common in Buckinghamshire, finished in James Young grey with a grey leather interior and supplied by Jack Barclay Ltd. It was also specified to be fitted with air conditioning and power windows. The car changed hands in June of 1966 when sold to Mr J Priestly of London and then again in February of 1968 when it was sold to Whipples Ltd in Lincolnshire. The car was then exported to the US but returned to the UK we believe in the 1980s, repatriated by A.B Price. It was sold in 1990 to Mr J Myers who instructed the restoration to the coachwork, woodwork and various mechanical aspects. Thecar was then supplied in April 1994 to Mr Haynes who owned it for twenty years from this point. During the early years of Mr Haynes ownership, the engine was overhauled and has covered approximately 16,000 miles since. For the ensuing time, Mr Haynes had the car serviced and reviewed on an annual basis, maintaining BC4XD on a no expense spared basis. The car is complete with extensive documentation from the cars inception and build at James Young and a great deal of paperwork from 1990 to present day showing the restoration works and servicing invoices from Bentley specialists. It retains its original leather interior and complete tools. Chassis No BC4XD is a fine example of this rare and stylish design by James Young which is ready for touring.
