I thought there might be a few members interested to hear about my experience dealing with both the past and present Flathead Power (FHP) management. My story begins in June 2001 when I contacted FHP (Sweden) to inquire about purchasing a completed 74" or 93" Knucklehead motor. FHP promptly responded to my inquiry and suggested I purchase the topend from FHP and the bottom end from S&S. FHP also recommended a "Good" engine builder here in the states. At the time of my inquiry I was interested in purchasing a complete motor assembly from FHP but due to difficulties expressed by FHP in obtaining US made parts, FHP thought it would be better if I purchased the S&S parts and have it built by someone other than FHP. When I first contacted FHP I stated I was interested in reproducing a 1940-1946 Harley and that I wanted it to be as close as possible to factory specifications. Not knowing what size engine to go with FHP suggested I go with a 93" engine (#0854 Heads w/big valves, #0757 Cylinders, #0856 Tappet Blocks and a FHP 1 Cam). I was told by FHP "This is a very good street setup with smooth lower characteristics and good topend". FHP went on to say "We build mostly this setup and have everything figured out what to use". After exchanging a few more emails with FHP I placed my order (topend, cam and distributor) to support a 93" motor build. Approximately one month later (held up by US customs) the builder FHP suggested I use received my parts (one cylinder was damaged in transit, broken fins) and after a long and agonizing three months (six months from the time I first contacted FHP), I received my completed motor. The motor looked good but will it run was still an unknown; unfortunately, the builder didn't have the equipment needed to perform a bench test so the motor was never tested. Approximately a year and a half later I completed the bike (reproduction of a 1936 EL) and was ready to break her in, or so I thought. After several failed attempts to dial in the motor, I just couldn't get the motor to run right. After 10 or so miles the plugs would foul. I first thought the carburetor settings were the problem so I made numerous adjustments to the carburetor, no improvement. Then I thought the timing may be off, that wasn't the problem. From there I thought the exhaust system I was running (stock head pipes and fishtail muffler) was too restrictive, so I first removed the muffler baffle, no improvement. Thinking the muffler was still too restrictive I cut off (with much regret) the fishtail tip, no improvement. In the process of trying to diagnose the problem I contacted the motor builder to find out if he could help, he suggested a couple changes/adjustments, I made the recommended changes and I still fouled the plugs. I even enlisted the help of fellow FHP Tech Talk members, although quite helpful, none of the suggestions helped, the motor still wouldn't run right. Now let's fast forward to December 2005. By this time I was totally disgusted with the situation so I finally decided to contact FHP to find out if they could help. Some might wonder why I didn't contact FHP sooner, the answer to that question would be, I really didn't think the parts were the problem since FHP already told me "We build mostly this setup and have everything figured out what to use". The next day I received a response from FHP. Not knowing FHP had gone through management/ownership change my first thought was, oh great, I'm screwed, but I'm pleased to say, I was wrong. The new FHP management (Doug) put my mind at ease when he said FHP would work with me to help correct the problem. At first Doug thought the carburetor was jetted to rich (even though the motor builder thought a 31 slow and 78 main jet was correct). In an attempt to figure out why the motor wasn't performing like it should, Doug needed to know what components were used to assemble the motor. With this information in hand, Doug broke the news that he thought the cam I was running was incorrect for my application. Knowing I wasn't interested in building a hot rod motor, he thought the FHP-1 cam worked best in engines over 100 cubic inches with at least 9.0-1 compression. He thought my compression ratio was probably around 8.5-8.75-1 and the combination of the two (cam & compression) was the reason why I was fouling plugs. Doug explained it this way; the FHP-1 cam is killing off the compression you have at low speed and not giving the carb a good signal to run with. Doug also went on to say the motor would never run properly unless I planned on running it in the 3500-4000 RPM range. It was at this point I realized I needed to change out the cam. I have to be honest, I wasn't at all happy with the idea of having to spend more money on this motor, as it was I had well over $8K invested. Not being one to want to mess around with changing a cam, I decided to return the motor to FHP for repair/rework. To say this was a difficult decision would be a huge understatement; I was down right sickened by the idea of having to dismantle my bike. Even though I wasn't happy with the idea of having to rework my motor, I was very impressed with how Doug dealt with the situation. At no time did Doug give me the feeling he wasn't going to stand behind his product. Doug and I exchanged many emails on the subject and throughout the process Doug was helpful and fair in the way he handled the situation. In my opinion this problem could have been avoided if earlier FHP management would have sold me the right parts to start with. I'm also aware of the fact, the new management of FHP could have taken a less positive role in helping me resolve this issue, with this in mind I would like to take this opportunity to thank Doug for his support and most importantly his commitment to stand behind their product.
Thats great!
And you are saying that the problems got sorted out and the motor runs excellent today?

I am twenty years old, studying at a decent college, and yet I'm still living a lie. Sometimes I would even look for gay sexual acts on the internet, just to prove to myself I didn't like it.

It all started when I was 13 years old... I started to think I'm gay, I had no reason at all to think this. I went to talk to my guidance counsellor at my school and she really helped me. Even though she told me I should give myself some time to see where things would go and that there is nothing wrong with being gay I still kept saying to myself that I didn't want to be gay. After a few months, I came out to one of my sisters and also my mother. I have two other sisters but I never did come out to them (I don't really know why). However, I haven't told my brother yet. We don't get along... Read moreRead more

"Ah, the age-old conundrum. Defenders of a game are too blind to see it's broken, and critics are too idiotic to see that it isn't." - Brian McCormick
Dungeoneer's Handbook
I'd also like to see one good new campaign product - either a hardback or two like we saw with Realms, Eberron, Dark Sun and Neverwinter or in the form of a full boxed set, bigger than the Shadowfell set. I think I'd like to see an original setting and not a redo of Dragonlance, Ravenloft or Mystara (as much as I particularly like the latter).
Also, available for advance order at Amazon, is 'Eye of the Chined God (Abyssal Plague III)'
Anyone know what this is?Dungeons & Dragons Volume 2: First Encounters
OMG! Only two books!?! 5e is so coming!!!! Sorry. I couldn't resist.
Eberron was the last major 3.X release that didn't start to feel like they were transitioning to a new edition.
Book of the Nine Swords was the death knell of 3.5.When we see a book like that hit 4E, we'll know 5E is on the way.
Updated for GenCon previews. Question: How do people feel about me listing e-books on this schedule? I know that not a lot of people care about novels, but I want to be complete. However, I feel no need to count DDI articles and I'd really like to stick to physical product that would be sold in stores. Anyone object?
Updated the list for all things we know are coming out.
I really wish they would bring out more Dungeon Delve books and Monster Manuals.
Before posting, why not ask yourself, What Would Wrecan Say? A great man once said "If WotC put out boxes full of free money there'd still be people complaining about how it's folded." – Boraxe
I would say Lords of Madness was the last quality book they printed for 3.5, before they started publishing their experiments for 4e or just sub-quality books.I am curious to see what the special campaign they talked about is all about. 4e is far more malleable then previous editions simply because of their errata policy. Essentials is a 4.something. They can do this for quite sometimes before switching to 5e.But then again the VT is editionless, so once it is up they could switch to 5e without losing all the cash they invested on it.
How likely is a DM 3 book? I'm in Paragon, and I am trying to play the final arc that takes us into Epic. A DM guide for Epic campaigns would be very helpful!
On another note, anyone have any theories beyond the usual 5E speculation about why next year's schedule is so sparse. This doesn't look good to me.
On another note, anyone have any theories beyond the usual 5E speculation about why next year's schedule is so sparse. This doesn't look good to me. Dont see it; lets look at the numbers:1st trimester 2011- 1 tileset- 1 accessory (reprint, the Deluxe DM Screen)- 1 adventure (Gamma World, so not really 4th Ed.)- 1 box set (Gamma World)- 1 boardgame- 1 set fortune cards1st trimester 2012- 1 accessory- 1 game supplement - 1 boardgame- 1 set fortune cards2nd trimester 2011- 3 game supplements- 1 tile set- 1 boardgame2nd trimester 2012 (not complete)- 2 game supplements (the Undermountain supplement was previously a beautiful box set, now a hardcover)- 2 tile setsLets not forget the minis that were announced but not scheduled yet (although i doubt there wouldnt be a 1st semester release).Also, the Encounters seasons continue and there is the new Lair Assault.Not that different from last year...
I agree it's not that different from this year but as at Gen Con 2010, we had most of this year at least pencilled in and I don't really think the product schedule for this year was impressive. Now, we are almost at the begninning of the year and I can spot perhaps two products I'm likely to buy in the first six months whereas when 4E launched (and through 2009 and 2010) I was spotting at least one a month I wanted to buy.I'm disappointed mainly as this is generally the pattern when an edition winds down (although I'm not convinced that that is what is happening)
and when 4E started I liked the idea of a PHB. DMG,MM and Campaign Setting every year. That formula lasted a year and then was abandoned.
oh man no kind of list of new minis i'm pretty sure there be some kind of miniatures for rpg coming out in 2012
HotFW has a lot of useful info on the Feywild. As such, it functions as an ad-hoc one. Frankly, I imagine that marketing cringes every time the designers want to make a product based around Faeries. It doesn't have that sellout factor that Dragons or Demons have. Hopefully, once we've gone through boxed sets for the 9 Hells and the Abyss, we might be thrown a bone.
Conjurer of Cheap Tricks: A Conjuration Handbook
oh man no kind of list of new minis i'm pretty sure there be some kind of miniatures for rpg coming out in 2012
My guess is that it takes a long time to make a set of miniatures, so if a set of D&D minis were to come out it would be sometime late in 2012.

Fire investigators have not been able to determine what caused a fire that extensively damaged a West Main Street building on Monday night.
Watertown City Fire Chief Dale C. Herman said they believe the blaze at 560 W. Main St. began outside a camper parked inside the building, but they could not pinpoint the ignition source.
Firefighters responded to the fire call about 6:40 p.m. Monday, and contained the blaze within 40 minutes. Owner Darin T. Duarte did not have insurance on the building or the camper, Chief Herman said.
The building was used for storing vehicles and auto parts; some mechanical work also was completed inside, Chief Herman said.
In the 1990s, under previous owners, the building housed International Truck Repair.
While fighting the blaze Monday night, firefighters were not concerned about any potential contaminants from the truck rental business, Chief Herman said, noting it did contain a fuel station.
Several years ago, the city could have taken control of the property on back taxes, but decided against that because of the possible contaminants issue, said Kenneth A. Mix, the citys planning and community development coordinator. Mr. Mix said he didnt know whether anyone has ever investigated what chemicals could be on the site or whether a cleanup was ever completed.
The citys Code Enforcement Office will send out a letter in the next few weeks to the owner to find out his intention for demolishing the building. If he fails to tear it down, the city would have it demolished and then bill him, code enforcement officials said. It is too early to say what would be found on the site once the building is gone, city officials said.
Spokesman Stephen W. Litwhiler said the building has not been on the state Department of Environmental Conservations radar, so it is not aware of any contamination at the site. DEC also has not been involved in any investigation to find out whether chemicals remained from when the building housed a truck repair shop.

Thursday, November 29, the 193-nation United Nations General Assembly granted de facto recognition of the sovereign state of Palestine.
The symbolic victory for Palestine was accomplished despite the opposition of the United States and Israel, along with a small contingency of allies who voted against elevating the Palestinian Authority's observer status at the United Nations to "nonmember state" from "entity."
At the meeting, 138 nations voted in favor of the measure, nine opposed it, with 41 abstaining. Notably, the vote was held on the 65th anniversary of the adoption of UN resolution 181 that divided Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states.
Swiss Info reports "thousands of flag-waving Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip set off fireworks and danced in the streets to celebrate the vote."
Not everyone was in the mood to celebrate, however.
In a statement, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) simultaneously reminded the world of his own fierce fidelity to Israel, as well as to remind the Palestinian Authority and Egypt (broker of the peace talks between Israel and Gaza) of their dependency on the largesse of the United States.
"This is a provocative unhealthy step that could undermine the peace process," Graham said.
At an appearance with Senators Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), and John Barrasso (R-Wy.), Graham expressed concern that an elevated Palestine might seek redress of its grievances from the global government.
"If you make a petition to the International Criminal Court against the state of Israel ... that will put the peace process in a ditch and undermine any chance of a peaceful solution anytime soon and we will cut off funding," Graham said.

POTSDAM A man was slashed in a fight at Clarkson University late Wednesday or early Thursday, but full details have yet to emerge as police and school officials spar over how the incident was handled.
In a blotter item released to the media Friday morning, village police reported that one student menaced several others with a knife, and then slashed one student in the hand before he was disarmed.
Village police said they were not informed about the incident until 10:28 a.m. Thursday. No names were released, nor did police indicate whether any charges have been pressed in the case.
The police department will be following up with university officials as to the nature of this incident and why it was not immediately reported to the police department by Campus Safety and Security, the blotter item continued.
The newspaper was unable to confirm a report by WWNY-TV Channel 7 in which unnamed police sources described the incident as horseplay, telling the station that a 19-year-old male student slashed a 21-year-old male on the hand in a dispute over a hat.
The injured male did not require medical treatment, the station reported.
Calls to Potsdam Police Chief Kevin A. Bates went unreturned Friday afternoon. He is aware of the newspapers request for comment, a dispatcher said following the third call.
A Clarkson spokesman offered no details about the incident, but defended the universitys handling of the case.
Clarkson Campus Safety and Security followed its usual protocol in reporting its activities to the village of Potsdam Police Department, Michael P. Griffin, Clarksons director of news and digital content services, wrote in an e-mail.
We have cooperated fully with village police on their follow-up, Mr. Griffin continued. We refer all questions about their satisfaction with the follow-up and actions taken by the universitys Campus Safety and Security to the village police.
The statement I sent is all we have for you on this, Mr. Griffin replied when pressed for further details by a reporter.
Id recommend speaking to the chief of police. He can answer your questions best.

Diego Velázquez
Diego Velázquez (Rodriguez de Silva y) was the most famous Spanish artist of his time. He was born in Seville in 1599 and died in 1660. After early successes such as "The Water Carrier of Seville" (1619), Velázquez was appointed court painter in Madrid in 1623. He spent most of his life producing portraits of the royal family as well as his famous "Pope Innocent X" (1650).
His masterpiece, "Las Meninas" (1656), is one of the best-known works in Western art. A large group portrait centered on the young Spanish Princess Margarita, the painting exhibits a typically Baroque fascination with countless variations in the qualities of light. It is considered a superb study of light, color and space. — adapted from "The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge"

Marilyn Monroe poses over the updraft of New York subway grating while in character for the filming of "The Seven Year Itch" in Manhattan on Sept. 9, 1954. The former Norma Jean Baker modeled and starred in 28 movies grossing $200 million. Sensual and seductive, but with an air of innocence, Monroe became one of the world's most adored sex symbols. She died alone by suicide, at age 36 in her Hollywood bungalow.

Joe DiMaggio, baseball's famed "Yankee Clipper," and screen actress Marilyn Monroe, smile cheek to cheek as they wait patiently in Judge Charles Perry's chambers for their marriage ceremony in San Francisco on Jan. 14, 1954. The wedding climaxed a romance of more than a year.
Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe sings to an audience of G.I.'s during the first show of her recent four-day tour of Korea, Feb. 22, 1954. She is wearing her much-discussed low-cut purple cocktail dress about which she had told newsmen, "it's the only one I brought over that is suitable for the show".

Hi my name is Faye Lynn or Araila and I've been cosplaying since 2010! It began as I got roped into a cosplay group with my high school gals. Don't get me wrong I've been wanting for years to cosplay and I just had other characters in mind. Somehow I ended making all of our costumes and I kicked ass! At least the ones I had a proper amount of time to make.
The next year came around I realized I didn't actually know what I was doing! So after much disappointment I buckled down and got serious.
I taught myself how to make patterns and that was a most important step forward. I learned what I was doing wrong with my sewing machine and really tried to learn how to sew neatly and finish the inside of garments.
Much hot glue, paint and modge podge later I made my first armor cosplay. I have great pride in my Azula cosplay.
And then came the time when I was finally able to choose a character for myself and someone else!
Thus a dream from middle school came true! Starfire and Raven!
Now here I am a few cosplay under my belt and many more for others made. I know I've only just begun!

I went to Paris 2 years ago. When I was there, I was learning the language by talking and listening to the local people. But, while I was trying to speak French with them, they would speak English to me. I am going back this november. What can I do to get them to speak French?
It's a common problem I had in South America - I really wanted to improve my Spanish while travelling as it gives you a much better insight into your travels, and can talk to locals more. But so often they'd just switch to English because they welcomed a chance to learn English themselves.
You can either do the obvious (ask them to speak French so you can learn) or what I did occasionally - we'd hold dual-language conversations - I'd try speaking in Spanish and they'd speak in English, as it gives you speaking practice - the hardest of the language skills, in my opinion. Alternatively, you can switch - you speak English, they speak Spanish, and you both get to practice listening skills in the language.
Remember that travelling is a shared experience, they welcome visitors to their country (well most of them do), and if you can both benefit from a conversation, everyone wins!
Just ask them. If they switch to english, say: "S'il vous plaît, en français, j'essaie d'apprendre."
One thing you could try: Learn a few phrases in an obscure third language.
I speak Romanian, for instance. So if I'm in France and trying to learn French, and they reply in English, I just give them a polite but blank look and say,
Îmi pare rău, nu înțeleg.
Of course, the risk is that they'll decide that you're not worth the trouble. So it just depends on how determined you wish to be.
Don't stress about it too much. Sometimes I have to remind myself that learning a language is a means to an end, rather an end in itself. You didn't go to France in order to learn French, you learnt French in order to go to France. Beware of the sunk cost fallacy - don't let the time and effort spent learning French unduly influence whether or not you use French.
I tried to speak in Japanese when possible when visiting Japan ("sumimasen, eigo o hanashimasu ka?" was usually a sign I was going to ask something complex!), but I made an exception for the sweet obasan who ran the ski hire shop in Zao onsen. She asked me to speak in English, and I did so.
Are you going back to Paris, or to France in general? You may want to check whether going to the more remote parts of France will mean people less likely to speak English. Then again, it could mean that those who want to speak English will be more insistent on speaking English than those in the middle of Paris!
You may also want to check whether France's colonies or former colonies tend to speak English less than France. That's an advantage you have over Japanese speakers - the only place outside Japan with Japanese as an official language is the island of Anguar, population 188!
Wow this is very interesting, what happens to me and everyone I know in Paris is the exact opposite. I speak English and they reply in French always, in fact i stopped going to paris for that reason. No matter how many times I say I don't speak French they just insist to, and what kills me is that they clearly understand me so they know English but I don't hear other than French. I've also noticed that this phenomenon decreases as you go further away from Paris, people seem to be friendlier elsewhere in France.

Hometown: Chehalis, WA
Graduation Year: 2016
Major: Community Psychology
What major did you intend to do when you first started here? Business Administration
How many times have you changed your major? Twice
What do you hope to do when you graduate? Go on to Grad School and into my career, which is still undetermined!
What is a random fact about you? I love volunteering and working with middle school students!
If you could have dinner with one person alive or dead, who would it be and why? I would really enjoy having dinner and talking with J.R.R. Tolkien, his books have been my favorites from when I first jumped into Middle Earth as a fourth grader reading "The Hobbit."
Why did you choose UWB? I choose UWB because of the small class sizes. I also liked the idea of building personal relationships and networks with the professors. But more than anything I love the community-based atmosphere around campus!
What do you like about UWB? I like the fact that it is difficult to walk across campus without running into someone you know or met in class this quarter or even past quarters; as well as the chance of passing a professor that you had quarters ago who still remembers your name!
What surprised you about UWB? How much Student Life and our student body government listens and responds to the demands of the student population on campus, especially as we continue to grow and expand.
What has been the best class you've taken? "Intro to Communications." The professor had a very unique way of challenging our ideas, thoughts and ways we communicate with the people around us. Through the way he introduced our course work and through his lectures, I will be taking the things I learned in that class with me for the rest of my life.
What is your favorite thing to do at UWB? My favorite thing to do at UWB is to hang out and grab coffee or lunch with friends and classmates, and the occasional professor.
What advice would you give a high school student about going to college? Challenge yourself early! Learn the basics of math and writing, and don't take the easy road. Also, don't miss out on opportunities to get involved in your school or community and apply for scholarships!

SANDY CREEK The Oswego County Fair Association wants you to keep coming back to the fair this week for more entertainment, rain or shine.
To peak new interests and attract more people to the 156th annual event, association members added new highlights, including a sanctioned rabbit show and more childrens activities.
I think what you absolutely have to maintain is kids, said Carol M. Sweeney, fair president. You have to offer what they need. Kids cant show at a state fair unless they show at a county level.
That goes for showing animals, crafts, fruits, vegetables and even in a talent competition.
Its also a learning experience, Mrs. Sweeney said. It also brings people in from other places to learn from them.
Since Onondaga County doesnt have a county fair, she said many children show their animals, products or produce during the Oswego County Fair.
Throughout the fairgrounds, off Ellisburg Street, children and adults toured the livestock barn, shopped at various craft and food vendors and enjoyed carnival rides. Thursdays rain saturated much of the fairgrounds, but fair attendees ducked under awnings or went inside buildings or their cars in between brief rain storms.
Rain didnt deter a crowd from coming, but Mrs. Sweeney said she could tell attendance is already down from last year and the fair just started Wednesday.
Yesterday was not a good day, she said Thursday. I bet we didnt have 2,500 people on the grounds yesterday, and usually we have about 5,000.
Eric J. and Ashley M. Stevens, Mexico, attended the fair with their 6-year-old son, Damien. They said they make the short drive north each year to support local businesses that offer their products there.
We also come here so he can do the saw dust hunt, Mrs. Stevens said, regarding one of the childrens activities. Its to have fun.
Both Mr. Stevens and Damien also participated in a skillet-throwing contest and also signed up for the hay-bale-throwing contest. Other Wednesday activities included a demolition derby, and goat, beef, magic, and old- time lumberjack shows. Fireworks went off at dusk.
Mrs. Sweeney said she hopes more families are able to come to the fair, which lasts through Sunday, since admission and parking are both free.
Even though things are getting better, its still challenging for people in our area, she said. We try to be cognisant of that, as tough as it is to make things happen. We have a lot of free things for the kids to do.
She said association members are already working on plans for next years fair, which include encouraging more participation of exhibitors.
For more information, people may visit the fairs website, www.oswegocountyfair.com. Video from the event can be seen at www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLEYtsmwiGQ.

Renmatix commissions King of Prussia cellulosic sugar facility
January 11, 2013 | Rebecca Coons
Renmatix (King of Prussia, PA), a cellulosic sugar start-up backed by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (Menlo Park, CA) and BASF, says it has commissioned a plant-to-sugar processing facility at King of Prussia. Renmatix breaks down cellulose through supercritical hydrolysis, a process by which heat and pressure are applied to a slurry until the chains of sugar break down into the smaller components usable by biofuel and biochemical producers. The company says its technology will be able to extract sugar more cheaply than other cellulosic technologies because...

Bumper boy receiver flashes like its charging, when I hit the launch button the power and low batt lights both flash. tried changing the battery and charging same result. Anyone solve this kind of problem ?
I had a bad charger that did the same thing as you described.
Seems like your batteries aren't charged. Could be worn out batteries or a broken charger.
i found a good deal on new batteries here on RTF last winter. Do a search if it's batteries, those might still be available.
charging light flashes when I hook up the charger. I have 3 units and the transmitter, they all charge but the one unit. I tried switching the charge leads around in case of a broken wire, didn't help. I'm going to a HT this weekend, I'm going to charge everything, swap batteries and see if the unit works.
I ordered the upgrade a year ago and hate to put more $ into something I will be sending back (some day ? )
Had same problem. Called Bumper boy and they
Told me to charge one unit at a time.

What people put on their plate each day has a great deal to do with healthy digestion. With a busy summer ahead for most people, now is a good time to review the basics of how proper nutrition and healthy life-style changes can help keep the human digestive system on track. Here are some tips from the famous Mayo Clinic.
Eat plenty of fiber. Foods that pass more easily and quickly through your digestive system are the same foods that form the foundation for a healthy diet. Plant foods - fruits, vegetables and foods made from whole grains - contain beneficial vitamins, minerals and compounds that may protect against cancer. Plant foods are also an excellent source of fiber, a nutrient that's especially important to digestion.
Cut the fat. Excess fat slows digestion and can lead to heartburn, bloating and constipation, in addition to increasing your risk of heart disease, diabetes and perhaps even colon cancer.
Drink ample fluids. Water is the best beverage. Caffeinated beverages and alcohol don't count. Most people should drink 8 to 10 eight-ounce glasses of water each day.
Practice good eating habits. Eat moderate proportions, eat at regular times and relax while you eat.
Maintain a healthy weight. Heartburn, bloating and constipation tend to be more common in people who are overweight.
Exercise regularly. Aerobic exercise - exercise that increases your breathing and heart rate - is the most beneficial for healthy digestion.
Avoid alcohol and tobacco. Too much alcohol (more than one or two drinks in a day) or chewing or smoking tobacco can lead to serious digestive disorders. When combined with tobacco, alcohol greatly increases your risk of mouth and esophageal cancer.
Use medications with caution. Anti-inflammatory medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen (Aleve) and ketoprofen (Orudis) are potentially the most damaging. Taking them with food may help. Ask your doctor for advice.
Digestive problems are among the most common reasons people see their doctors. They're also a leading reason people take medication.
The book Mayo Clinic on Digestive Health offers practical advice to help people identify, manage and prevent digestive disorders so they can enjoy life with less stomach and intestinal upset.
Not all digestive problems can be prevented or controlled. Some digestive disorders are hereditary, or they require more advanced care. But good nutrition and healthy life-style habits can go a long way toward keeping the human digestive system healthy.
