Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional gut disorder with high prevalence. Because of various factors involved in its pathophysiology and disappointing results from conventional IBS medications, the treatment of IBS is challenging and use of complementary and alternative medicines especially herbal therapies is increasing. In this paper, electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane library were searched to obtain any in vitro, in vivo or human studies evaluating single or compound herbal preparations in the management of IBS. One in vitro, 3 in vivo and 23 human studies were included and systematically reviewed. The majority of studies are about essential oil of Menta piperita as a single preparation and STW 5 as a compound preparation. Some evaluated herbs such as Curcuma xanthorriza and Fumaria officinalis did not demonstrate any benefits in IBS. However, it seems there are many other herbal preparations such as those proposed in traditional medicine of different countries that could be studied and investigated for their efficacy in management of IBS.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional gut disorder characterized by abdominal pain or discomfort, bloating, and bowel disturbances[1] with a higher prevalence ratio of women to men (ratio of 2:1)[2]. Studies from Asia suggest higher prevalence of IBS in more developed countries such as Singapore (8.6%) and Japan (9.8%) compared with India with the lowest prevalence (4.2%)[3]. The pathophysiology of IBS is most likely multifactorial involving visceral hypersensitivity, abnormal gut motility, intestinal microbiota, inflammation and immune disturbance, genetic factors, abnormal gas handling, psychosocial factors, intestinal infections, central nervous system, and serotonin[1,4,5]. Pharmacological treatment of IBS varies from antidepressants including tricyclic antidepressants[6] and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors[7], to antispasmodics[8,9], 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 receptor (5-HT3) antagonists[10], 5-HT4 agonists[11], antibiotics[12], probiotics[13], and melatonin[14]. But involvement of numerous factors in pathophysiology and a very significant placebo effect[15] cause therapy of this disease to be more complex. Due to disappointing results with conventional IBS treatments, complementary and alternative medicines are becoming attractive options for many patients[16].
In the present paper, management of IBS by herbal medicines and their modes of action have been evaluated in detail. For this purpose, electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane library were searched to obtain studies giving any in vitro, in vivo, or human evidence of the efficacy of herbs in the treatment of IBS. Data were collected for the years 1966 to 2011 (up to February). The search terms were: "complementary and alternative medicine", "plant", or "herb" and "irritable bowel syndrome". Reference lists of the retrieved articles were also reviewed for additional applicable studies. The title and abstract of each article were examined to eliminate duplicates, reviews, studies examining functional bowel diseases other than IBS, and studies assessing complementary and alternative medicines other than herbs. Figure 1 shows a flow diagram of the study selection process.
Preparations containing only one herb and investigated in IBS are discussed below and also in Table 1.
Fifty-eight patients with IBS were randomized to receive Aloe vera or matching placebo for a month but no significant difference was found between Aloe and placebo groups[17].
Eight-week treatment of IBS patients with Curcuma longa extract tablet decreased IBS prevalence and abdominal pain/discomfort score significantly between baseline and after treatment. There were significant improvements in the IBS quality of life (QOL) scales. Approximately two thirds of all subjects reported an improvement in symptoms after treatment, and there was a favorable shift in self-reported bowel pattern[18]. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, IBS patients were randomly assigned to receive Curcuma xanthorriza or placebo. IBS-related pain increased in the Curcuma group and decreased in the placebo group. IBS-related distension showed a greater reduction in the placebo group compared to the curcuma group. Additionally, the global assessment of changes in IBS symptoms and psychological stress due to IBS did not differ significantly among the two treatment groups. Thus, Curcuma xanthorriza did not show any therapeutic benefit over placebo in patients with IBS[19]. Thus, the species of Curcuma used is an important factor in determining its efficacy in IBS. The efficacy of Curcuma in IBS may be due to bactericidal[20], anti-inflammatory[21], and spasmolytic[22] activities.
Cynara scolymus was demonstrated to have both preventive and curative roles in IBS. The leaf extract of Cynara scolymus was evaluated in healthy volunteers suffering concomitant dyspepsia and showed a 26.4% fall in IBS incidence after treatment. A significant shift in self-reported usual bowel pattern away from "alternating constipation/diarrhea" toward "normal" was observed. The nepean dyspepsia index (NDI) total symptom score significantly decreased by 41% after treatment. Similarly, there was 20% improvement in the NDI total QOL score in the subset after treatment[23]. When the leaf extract of Cynara scolymus was administered to patients with IBS for 6 wk, a significant reduction in the severity of symptoms was observed. Ninety-six percent of patients rated this extract better than or at least equal to previous therapies administered for their symptoms. Furthermore, the tolerability of Cynara scolymus extract was very good[24]. It was reported that Cynara scolymus affects intestinal microbiota[25] and has antispasmodic activity[26].
The efficacy of Fumaria officinalis, because of its antispasmodic activity, has been investigated in IBS patients. In the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, IBS-related pain decreased more in the fumitory group compared to the placebo group. IBS-related distension decreased in the placebo group and increased in the fumitory group. Additionally, the global assessment of changes in IBS symptoms and psychological stress due to IBS did not differ significantly among the two treatment groups[19].
Hypericum perforatum is a popular herbal medicine for the treatment of depression and it may be beneficial in the management of IBS by modulating psychological stress and serotonin[27]. The efficacy of Hypericum perforatum (St John's wort) was evaluated in IBS patients during a 12-wk randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The overall bowel symptom score (BSS) from baseline was decreased both in Hypericum and placebo groups whereas the placebo arm showed significantly lower scores at the end of treatment. Individual BSS for diarrhea (D-BSS), constipation (C-BSS), pain or discomfort, and bloating, adequate relief (AR) of IBS of at least 50% during the last 4 wk of therapy and IBS quality-of-life score showed greater improvement in the placebo group when compared with the Hypericum group. Thus Hypericum perforatum showed lower efficacy for treatment of IBS than placebo[28]. Another study showed that Hypericum perforatum can improve the psychologic symptoms and the ANS reactivity to stress and relieve intestinal symptoms in women with IBS. In patients with IBS, intestinal symptoms of IBS were also relieved significantly[29].
The efficacy of powdered root of Maranta arundinacea (Arrowroot) was assessed in patients with diarrhea predominant-IBS. It reduced diarrhea with a long-term effect on constipation. It also reduced abdominal pain[30].
The evidence for the efficacy of essential oil of Mentha × piperita (peppermint oil) in IBS seems to be more than other herbal preparations[9,31]. In a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study, the efficacy of an enteric-coated peppermint oil formulation was evaluated in outpatients with IBS. Seventy-nine percent of patients on Mentha capsule experienced an alleviation of the severity of abdominal pain, 83% had less abdominal distension, 83% showed a reduced stool frequency, 73% had fewer borborygmi, and 79% less flatulence. Corresponding figures for the placebo group were: 43% with reduced pain, 29% with reduced distension, 32% with reduced stool frequency, 31% with fewer borborygmi, and 22% with less flatulence. Symptom improvements after Mentha capsule were significantly better than after placebo. No significant side effect was seen in the Mentha group and peppermint oil was well tolerated[32]. In another randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted on outpatients with IBS, the number of subjects free from abdominal pain or discomfort changed from 0 at week 0 to 14 at week 8 in the peppermint oil group and from 0 to 6 in the placebo group. The severity of abdominal pain was reduced significantly in the peppermint group as compared to the placebo group. Furthermore, peppermint oil capsule significantly improved the QOL. No significant adverse reaction was reported from peppermint oil capsule[33]. In another study, the effectiveness of an enteric-coated peppermint oil capsule was evaluated in patients with IBS in whom small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, lactose intolerance and celiac disease were excluded. The symptoms evaluated were: abdominal bloating, abdominal pain or discomfort, diarrhea, constipation, feeling of incomplete evacuation, pain at defecation, passage of gas or mucus and urgency at defecation. The number of patients who showed reduction of the basal total IBS symptoms score in the peppermint oil group was greater than that in the placebo group[34]. In a randomized, double-blind controlled trial of children with IBS, 75% of those receiving peppermint oil showed a reduced severity of pain associated with IBS. At the end of the trial, the peppermint oil group reported a more significant improvement in the change of symptom scale than the placebo group. Symptoms such as changes in abdominal rumbling, abdominal distention, belching, gas, and heartburn exhibited no changes when peppermint oil was compared with placebo. The most predominant effect of peppermint oil was reduction in the severity of abdominal pain. No side effects were reported by either the investigator or patients during the 2-week study period[35]. Mentha was shown to have antimicrobial[36] and antispasmodic[37] activity and cause reduction in gastric motility[38].
The root of Paeonia lactiflora is used in many herbal preparations for IBS. Paeoniflorin (PF) is one of the principle active ingredients of the root of Paeonia lactiflora. A dose-dependent analgesic effect was produced by both intraperitoneal and central administration of PF on visceral pain in rats with neonatal maternal separation. Further investigation showed that this effect may be mediated by kappa-opioid receptors and α (2)-adrenoceptors in the central nervous system[39].
The efficacy of seed from Plantago psyllium in IBS was determined during a randomized controlled trial. The proportion of responders was significantly greater in the Plantago group than in the placebo group during the first month and the second month of treatment. After three months of treatment, symptom severity in the Plantago group was reduced by 90 points, compared with 49 points in the placebo group. No differences were found with respect to QOL[40].
Preparations containing more than one herb are discussed below and summarized in Table 2.
Carmint is an Iranian herbal medicine containing total extracts of Melissa officinalis, Mentha spicata, and Coriandrum sativum. Thirty-two IBS patients randomly received either carmint or placebo, plus loperamide or psyllium (based on their predominant bowel function), for 8 wk. The severity and frequency of abdominal pain/discomfort were significantly lower in the carmint group than the placebo group at the end of the treatment according to severity and frequency of bloating[41].
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted to determine whether a Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) is of any benefit in the treatment of IBS. This formulation composed of 20 different herbs (Table 2). Compared with patients in the placebo group, patients in the CHM groups showed a significant improvement in bowel symptom and global improvement scores as rated by patients and by gastroenterologists. Patients reported that treatment significantly reduced the degree of interference with life caused by IBS symptoms[42].
Padma Lax, a complex Tibetan herbal formula (Table 2), was evaluated for safety and effectiveness in treating constipation-predominant IBS in a 3-mo double-blind randomized pilot study. Significant improvement was demonstrated after 3 mo in the Padma Lax group compared to placebo in constipation, severity of abdominal pain, daily activities, incomplete evacuation, abdominal distension and flatus/flatulence. Significantly more Padma Lax patients than placebo patients rated the current treatment superior to previous therapies tried for IBS. Laboratory parameters displayed no clinically significant changes. The primary side effect of Padma Lax was loose stools which improved by lowering dose[43].
STW 5 (Iberogast), a formula composed of hydroethanolic extracts of nine herbs, has been prepared for functional gastrointestinal disorders like IBS and its efficacy and mechanisms of action were investigated in several studies. It was significantly better than placebo in reducing the total abdominal pain and the IBS symptom scores. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre trial, STW 5-II, another formula composed of 6 of 9 herbal extracts used in STW 5, and a preparation containing only one of 9 herbal extracts (extract of Iberis amara) were compared with placebo. STW 5-II like STW 5 showed more significant reduction in the total abdominal pain and the IBS symptom scores compared with placebo. There were no statistically significant differences between the mono-extract group and the placebo group[44]. Different mechanisms have been proposed for the efficacy of STW 5 in IBS. A study evaluating STW 5 effects on mucosal secretion in human intestinal mucosa/submucosa preparations and in the human epithelial cell line T84 suggested that this herbal preparation is a secretogogue in the human intestine by direct epithelial actions and through activation of enteric neurons. The prosecretory effect is due to increased epithelial chloride fluxes via cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator and calcium dependent chloride channels[45]. STW 5 was studied in vitro for binding affinities to serotonin (5-HT3 and 5-HT4) and muscarinic (M3) receptors of the intestine that play central roles in the etiology of IBS. STW 5 showed binding affinity to 5-HT4, M3 and to a lesser degree 5-HT3[46]. STW 5 has also controlled visceral hypersensitivity by reducing intestinal afferent sensitivity to mechanical and chemical stimuli in the upper gastrointestinal tract in male Wistar rats. Following the different doses of serotonin and bradykinin, the peak in afferent nerve discharge was always reduced after pretreatment with STW 5 compared to controls. The ramp distension of the intestinal loop stimulated a rise in intestinal afferent nerve discharge that was lower in the STW 5 pretreated group compared to controls[47]. STW 5 decreased acetylcholine- and histamine-induced contraction of guinea pig ileum. This was also true for extracts of some constituents of this compound formula including Mentha piperita leaf, Matricaria recutita flower and Glycyrrhiza uralensis root. Extract from Iberis amara, however, showed no spasmolytic action; on the contrary, it increased the basal resting tone and contraction of atonic ileal segments. These data may explain, at least in part, the clinically observed therapeutic efficacy of STW 5 in both hypotonic and spastic dysmotility symptoms of IBS[48]. Another study on STW 5 and its components showed that STW 5 evoked a relaxation of the proximal stomach but increased antral motility whereas both effects are myogenic. The extracts of Angelica sinensis root, Matricaria recutita flower and Glycyrrhiza uralensis root mimicked the inhibitory effects in the proximal stomach whereas the extracts of Chelidonium majus, Melissa officinalis leaf, Carum carvi fruit and Iberis amara increased motility of the proximal stomach. All extracts increased motility in the antrum comparable to the effects of STW 5[49]. These data justify the differential effect of STW 5 which is a result of the combined actions of its individual components explaining the clinically observed therapeutic efficacy of STW 5 in both hypotonic and spastic dysmotility symptoms of IBS. Moreover, STW 5 reduced inflammation-induced alterations in ileum/jejunum segments. The effects were associated with a restoration of the disturbed acetylcholine-induced contraction, pathohistological protection and inhibition of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α[50].
Therapeutic efficacy of a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) (Table 2) was investigated in patients with diarrhea-predominant IBS. There was no significant difference in the proportion of patients with global symptom improvement between the TCM and placebo groups. Moreover, there was no difference in individual symptom scores and the quality-of-life assessment between the two groups[51].
Tong-xie-ning (TXNG) is a traditional Chinese medicine composed of four different herbs. The efficacy of this preparation was evaluated in diarrhea predominant-IBS patients by a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. IBS-related pain measured by the numeric pain intensity scale in the TXNG group, significantly decreased as compared with the placebo group. A total of 82.7% of the patients reported a reduction in IBS-related pain in the TXNG group compared with 39.3% in the placebo group. Furthermore, there was a significant reduction in the frequency and the duration of abdominal pain between the TXNG group and the placebo group. In addition, IBS-related stools improved in form or appearance in the TXNG group in comparison to the placebo group. The stool frequency was significantly decreased in the TXNG group compared with the placebo group. Moreover, stool passage (urgency or feeling of incomplete rectal emptying) in the TXNG group was significantly improved when compared with the placebo group. There was a 20.7% and 42.9% loss of appetite in the TXNG and placebo groups, respectively. An observable improvement in IBS-related diarrhea was seen in 86.2% of subjects in the TXNG group and 42.9% of subjects in the placebo group. There was no statistical difference in either the effective time of IBS-related pain or the effective time of IBS-related diarrhea between the two groups. However, the IBS-related pain alleviation time and the IBS-related diarrhea alleviation time in the TXNG group were markedly shorter than those in the placebo group[52].
Tong-Xie-Yao-Fang (TXYF) is a prescription in TCM, prepared from four herbs (Table 2). A study was done to compare the efficacy of this formulation with Myarisan, a probiotic formulation, in treating diarrhea-predominant IBS. No significant difference between the two groups in terms of the total efficacy or the scores of symptoms before and after treatment was found. In this study, the number of activated mast cells was decreased in the TXYF group after treatment, showing a significant difference as compared with that before treatment as well as with that in the Myarisan group after treatment. This result suggested that the mechanism of action of TXYF might be through adjustment of mast cells activation to decrease visceral hypersensitivity[53]. This product has been investigated in experimental visceral hypersensitivity models that showed a dose-dependent analgesic effect. It significantly decreased serotonin levels in serum and CRF concentrations in the brain. Moreover, it was found that visceral hypersensitivity alleviation by TXYF was dependent on substance P (SP) expression in the colon mucosa[54].
The efficacy and tolerability of C-IBS (Table 2), a formula designed to treat constipation-predominant IBS, and DA-IBS, a formula designed to treat diarrhea-predominant and alternating bowel habit IBS, were evaluated in an uncontrolled study. Ingestion of the DA-IBS formula was associated with a small, but significant, increase in bowel movement frequency. Reductions in straining, abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, and global IBS symptoms were also demonstrated in patients using this formula. Subjects in the C-IBS group experienced a 20% increase in bowel movement frequency and significant reductions in straining, abdominal pain, bloating, and global IBS symptom severity, as well as improvements in stool consistency. Both formulas were well-tolerated[55].
In this paper, different herbal preparations investigated for the management of IBS and their possible mechanisms of action were reviewed. Among the single preparations, the most evidence for efficacy in IBS patients was found for essential oil of Mentha piperita. Some single preparations including Aloe vera, Curcuma xanthorriza, Fumaria officinalis showed no benefit in IBS. There are conflicting results for the efficacy of Hypericum perforatum in IBS. Among compound preparations, most studies had been performed with STW 5, a formula containing hydroethanolic extract of 9 herbs. Hopeful results come from the efficacy of this herbal preparation in the management of IBS with different mechanisms of action such as anti-inflammatory, prosecretory activity, and affecting gastrointestinal motility. Because of multifactorial nature of the pathophysiology of IBS, it seems that compound preparations can be more efficacious than single ones. Despite the wide prevalence of IBS, there are few studies on the use of herbal medicine in IBS and most studies in this area have focused on the use of peppermint oil and STW 5; while it seems that more effective herbal preparations can be found. For example, in traditional Iranian medicine (TIM) many single and compound herbal preparations have been introduced for the management of various gut disorders such as IBS[56]. Among the herbal contents of this preparations, oleogumresin from Boswellia carterii, fruit of Trachyspermum amum, flower of Eugenia caryophyllata, gall of Quercus infectoria, seed of Nigella sativa, fruit of Cuminum cyminum, tabasheer (a hard, whitish, translucent substance extracted from the joints of different Bambusa species), and fruit of Cucurbita pepo can be stated[57-59]. There is evidence in modern phytotherapy for the beneficial effects of these plants in IBS. Boswellia carterii has shown anti-inflammatory[60,61] and immunomodulatory activity[62]. An in vitro study demonstrated that Trachyspermum copticum has a beneficial effect on intestinal microbiota by inhibiting the growth of potential pathogens[63]. Eugenia caryophyllata has anti-inflammatory[64], immunomodulatory[65], and antimicrobial[66] properties. Gall of Quercus infectoria possesses anti-inflammatory[67] and antibacterial[68] activity. Nigella sativa showed anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory activity[69]. Antimicrobial properties were reported for Cuminum cyminum[70] and Cucurbita pepo[71]. However, more studies are required to get more conclusive results about the efficacy of these herbs in IBS.

I tinkered with the template so that if I add a meta with the name "Mood" it will display text saying what mood I was in. Initially I just hardcoded my name but today I wanted to change it so that it picks up the author name instead. On the single post this works fine but on the main index template it displays the author name twice.
Here's the code from index.php:

Venezuela's 30,000-Gun Salute
Scrap metal…
…for kids suffering with cancer.
That's the message in Venezuela, according to the LA Times:
The government plans to sell the demolished guns as scrap metal and donate the proceeds to a foundation that cares for children suffering from cancer.
Venezuelan Authorities announced today that they've gathered and demolished 30,000 guns in an attempt to curb a murder rate that has skyrocketed in recent years.
This comes not long after the creation of a National Council of Citizen Security and a ban on violent video games last month.
Last year, the Washington Post reported that "[h]omicides have soared from fewer than 6,000 in [President Hugo] Chávez's first year in office [1999] to 13,156 [in 2007]."
This is a problem. But at least no one can say the Venezuelan authorities are ignoring the problem. Right?
Question is: Will high-profile gun demolitions and video game bans curb an astronomical murder rate?

Sparse Melodies and Six Golden Eggs
Tuesday's Pick
- Song: "Hearts of Iron"
- Artist: Handsome Furs
- CD: Plague Park
- Genre: Indie-Rock
It's not easy to interpret and define strange, ambiguous lyrics that could really be about anything. Sometimes, the audience's interpretations mirror the musicians', but it's just as likely that they read into it what they want to see. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and all that.
Handsome Furs doesn't make this task any easier. The duo, composed of Wolf Parade's Dan Boeckner and his fiancee Alexei Perry, specializes in sparse, repetitive pop melodies coupled with baffling, poetic words. "Hearts of Iron," a song about six golden eggs destroyed by a single iron one, becomes more mysterious as it progresses over an even, hymn-like tune.
Boeckner predicts the emotional frigidity that comes with age and experience — "When did we grow old in hearts of iron?" — but ultimately, the question is one of alienation. Would we give up dominance of others in order to be like them? Would we trade our distinctiveness for a chance at normalcy? Of course, maybe it's just about six golden eggs destroyed by one of iron.
Listen to yesterday's 'Song of the Day.'

Critic Reviews for Wild Horse, Wild Ride
All Critics (15) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (14) | Rotten (1)
A cynic could wield a lash against "Wild Horse, Wild Ride," but the golden vistas, galloping horses and gracious humans tame us.
With its gorgeous big-sky vistas, stirring shots of the majestic mustangs and intimate bits between trainers and trainees, "Wild Horse" proves a warm and memorable ride.
This gorgeous-looking documentary is crying out to be remade as a family film feature.
We get some sense of the horses' range of personalities; clearer is the nature of each trainer's attachment.
Audience Reviews for Wild Horse, Wild Ride
Not entirely sure why the story took so long to be released. It covers a 2009 wild mustang competition and isn't released until 2012. I never knew about this competition before and am still a little confused about how these people say the horses go to better homes after being broken, but they never explain why the horses were ever endanger in the wild. It was interesting though and some of the people they cover for the contest were pretty insane.

Comments about GE 14.9 Cu. Ft. Chest Freezer - White:
I bought this freezer one year and nineteen days ago. Today I went to get something out of it and it was 47*F. worked great until today. Full of thawed out shrimp, fish, and meat. Even without buying the extended warranty, I would expect more than this. Got it running, but don't know for how long. The best part is that I'm a retired refrigeration mechanic....
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I've had my freezer now for over two months. I can honestly say its been a wonderful investment! I know a lot of people don't care for the chest style freezer but I gotta tell ya, its Very roomy, easy to see and get to what ever you need and the 4 baskets work beautifully as they hold so much and simply slide out of the way or can easily just be lifted out.
Excellent Choice

I bought this to replace a freezer that was more than 20 years old. It still ran but I knew it was wasting electrical power. After 1 month using this new freezer, my electric bill went down over $100.00. I'm very pleased!

Kim So Eun talks about leaving "We Got Married" and her new drama for "ELLE Korea"
And now the actress is busy filming for MBC drama "Scholar Who Walks the Night". She began filming with the rest of the cast earlier this month and the drama is set to air in July. According to her, her character is one who "still has a veil covering her [real self] but is a character that holds one of the keys."
This drama is actually the second time Kim So Eun and lead actor Lee Jun Ki have worked together. They were both in the 2006 film "Fly Daddy, Fly".
She said, "10 years ago, when I was 17 years old, I filmed "Fly Daddy, Fly". I was a middle school student at the time, so I called him "Jun Ki Uncle". But during a work dinner for "Scholar Who Walks the Night", the words "oppa" came out of my mouth when I saw him."

Thirty-odd years ago, the brothers McLaughlin opened their first clothing boutique on a historic stretch of Madison Avenue that was home to a pair of watering holes favored by the post-Ivy League set. With a look that fuses classic American style with punctuation from the golden eras (think: Jazz Age, et al), J. McLaughlin now boasts women's and men's lines, plus accessories fit for all occasions.
Once in a while, we wind up with some great items that haven't found their way to a good home (read: yours). It's tragic, we know. But there's a silver lining — we've put all our stylish leftovers in one place for easy browsing (and picking). We've only got a few of each item in stock, so move fast before we run out.
If you're like us, the first thing you reach for when fall weather hits is a plaid shirt. In this massive selection, you'll find everything from refined, minimalist offerings from Theory to colorful, preppy shirts from York St. by J. Press. Pair them with jeans, chinos, or a suit and you're instantly ready for the season.
Because nothing chases away the Monday blues like a great new piece of clothing, and because, well, there's no better color for a guy than blue, we've pulled together a ton of great accessories in various shades of that most masculine of hues. Highlights include raffia-trimmed canvas lace-ups by Ovadia & Sons, needlepoint belts by Tucker Blair, and even a pair of blue-lensed shades from Crap Eyewear. Feeling blue never felt so good.
Update your lower half with these jeans, cords, chinos, and more from top brands like Gant Rugger, Levi's, and York St. by J. Press — all without breaking the bank.

1987-1990 Carburator...replace?
The carb on my 90 Brougham 307 is failing me. I'm losing power (literally creeping out of stop lights), losing gas mileage (I'm about 15 mpg on the highway, 12 in town), and occasionally the engine will act as if it were running out of gas even with a tankfull. What can I do. When I bought this car, I thought it was fuel-injected being a 90's Brougham, but I soon found out that my car was the last with a carb (Oh unfortunate me). The 5.7 was injected, and the 91's and 92's were too. I just happened to get one of the few that were not.
But with that realized what can I do. Is it possible to take the fuel injection system from a 1991 Brougham 5.0L and put it on mine, or have I been cheated out of the durable Chevy engine and stuck with the Olds? Maybe I could get this one re-built, but for how much? Or could I get a good one from another 90 Bro to put on mine, but what's involved with making the switch?
I am so in the blue.

Re: 1987-1990 Carburator...replace?
I'm pretty sure the 307 is the olds. engine, and the 305 is the chev.
Re: 1987-1990 Carburator...replace?
Yes you can just rebuild your carb, thats what I would do. If you do it yourself its about 30 bucks for the rebuild kit and about 10-20 hours if you've never done it before. If you want someone else to do it it's probably about 100-300 bucks, but you won't be guaranteed they did a great job.

Re: 1987-1990 Carburator...replace?
also, forgot to mention,according to one of my books,the 307 was the standard engine that year.
Re: 1987-1990 Carburator...replace?
By the way if the problem is indeed your carb, which it very likely is, then once it's rebuilt you will fall in love with the car all over again. A rebuilt carb makes a HUGE difference in how the car will run.
Re: 1987-1990 Carburator...replace?
Thanks for the info. I think I'll get a rebuild kit, but is it very complex for a first-timer? I just don't want to get over my head, and be stuck w/o a car for too long.
Re: 1987-1990 Carburator...replace?
It is pretty complex compared to other carbs, but if you just think your way through it with a clear head you should be fine. If you get a book called "Rochester Carburators" by Doug Roe (Mine was 5 bucks on ebay) and read through the relevant bits and get a Factory Service manual for your car it will be pretty easy to figure out, but it will still take time and patience.

Re: 1987-1990 Carburator...replace?
Get a rebuilt Q-jet from professional rebuilder.
It works like this: They send you a newly rebuilt carb (with a core charge), you (or your mechanic) installs it, you ship them your old carb, they refund the core charge. Bingo, you won't be without a car any longer that it takes to get the carbs swapped out.
You could also ship them your carb to be rebuilt, but then your car is off the road in the mean time.
Here are two good rebuilders:
eBay Motors: 1981-1990 Quadrajet W/Climatic Choke 5 Year Warranty (item 8049066841 end time Jul-07-06 12:27:51 PDT)
eBay Motors: ROCHESTER QUADRAJET CARB ELEC CHOKE CARBURETOR 4 bbl (item 140039149132 end time Oct-15-06 12:10:53 PDT)
Call, or e-mail either one with your problem and they can fix you up. The one guy is located down there in Texas so mabey he'll work out better for you
By the way, you've hardly been "cheated" with the Olds 307. They are super reliable engines that will run forever with a little maintainence, and sometimes even without.
Re: 1987-1990 Carburator...replace?
I have done 2 rebuilds on E4MC/E4ME carbs. Easy as any others. Get the tools and the FSM. All you need to do it.
Do NOT go electric choke. Stay with hot air if that is what it came with. I tried it on my 307, and the electric opens too fast, and doesn't at the rate the 307 likes. Stay hot air, it is a good simple choke. Again, a dialed in E4Mx carb is one of the sweetest Q-Jets ever made. Even in -10 to -20F weather, one small tap of the gas and my 350 started better than most EFI cars. (i did a 350 swap in place of my 307)
Stop by my place and I will go through it with you.
1. Lost power, is accelerator pump ok? Quick check, pop off air cleaner and depress pump only, it should stall the engine. If not likely bad. If makes it stumble really bad, might be ok too.
2. Fuel pump working ok? It is up to snuff?
3. Don't forget ignition, weak ignition will kill power too, HC goes up, O2 interprets this as rich and pulls out fuel.
I honestly rarely use a rebuild kit unless I need parts like accelerator pump or if I tear a gasket. The can be reused with 100% success if they are in good shape.
I have mods to do to it if some additional performance and drivability are needed, look into this forum somewhere, I posted them once. Maybe still in the Olds FAQ, some are there too. I am all over in that thing...
I have a friend who has done wonders for junk shape q-jets. He would do it for a very reasonable fee, I can ask. He is by me in Wisconsin. If you want to ship, I can ask how much he would charge to do it. I have the tools too, so between the two of us, you will have nearly a new carb. Beleive me, the carb I gave him was sad, and he made it run sweet.
Don't fear a Q-Jet rebuild, but also it isn't the best choice if you have no carb or q-jet experience. I have far more than I ever wanted.... Which is why I ended up with a Edelbrock AFB....
Re: 1987-1990 Carburator...replace?
N0DIH, I like your idea, but with one problem. This happens to be my only car for time being and can't go without it for any length of time. (I'm still a student). But I know of plenty of 307's in a few nearby boneyards. Do you think they would need to be rebuilt? If so, I'd be interested in shipping it to you; then I could just switch mine.
But I'm still only 90% sure the carb is the problem. You see, my problem was a lot worse. I couldn't get her up to highway speeds in under a whole minute of flooring the gas. Then it was very weak, and nearly rumbled any passengers (and myself) to death. In fact it sounded like a diesel engine, with that distinct sound, when she acted up. So I took her to the mechanic and found out my fuel filter was nearly completely clogged. They replaced it, but said my carb was "underperforming." That's where I stand now. But if there's a chance it could be something else, I'd rather not hand over unnecessary cash.
What do you suppose could be other possible causes for my symptoms: (poor gas mileage of 12/15, poor acceleration, the occasional 'diesel rumble', occasional stalling) Basically, I creep out of stop lights and signs so slow that everyone honks at me. Sometimes I have to put on my flashers until I finally approach a decent speed.
**On a different note: What's wrong with electronic choke? After all, I really dislike having to pump and pump and pump, and try the starter three times just to get her going.
Re: 1987-1990 Carburator...replace?
If you EVER have to PUMP, there is a big problem. If you EVER have pump a Q-Jet to get it to start, that is a sign something is messed up. All it does is dump a ton of fuel in the carb. Like I said, my 1982 Q-Jet on a 1977 Olds 350 in a 1985 Olds Cutlass would start like EFI when it was -20F out (yes I live in Wisconsin!).
1. Get a FSM, you need it, read the carb sections. Read even older ones too. It really helps you understand them. I save all my old FSM's, can't part with them....
2. It soulds like your float is dead. It will dump fuel like crazy if it is. And when they get really old, they do stop floating. Get a new one.
3. I bought a 82 junkyard carb for $50 and cleaned it up, reset it all to 1985 442 settings and dropped it on. Did some other mods (learn the carb first, I have put them on this forum somewhere....) and it was a sweet carb.
4. If it has this symptom, this is the fix. Get in (engine COLD), TAP gas pedal enough to set choke. Pop hood and remove air cleaner, is choke FULLY CLOSED? Correct answer is YES. If not, clean and examine linkage, do not feel the need to screw around with the choke setting, leave it alone. (No electric choke is gonna fix this, the hot air choke is far superior in operation, trust me). Ok, got it working right? It should be FULLY tight closed.
5. Now, start car. It should start right up and choke should be opened now 0.100 inches. Within around 1 second of start. If it dies right away and restarts, this is likely NOT opened up to 0.100" within 1 second. If not, remove vacuum hose on front vacuum break, depress, plug line with finger, and release. It should take 1 minute to fully extend. This is #1 problem with all Q-Jets I have ever seen. BAR NONE!!! Fix. You will LOVE your carb after that. Set all linkages to factory settings. Also, check rear vacuum break too, it can fail, but doesn't at near the frequency as the front. This is controlled by the ECM from that little black vacuum switch box on the drivers side valve cover.
6. Ok, got it running? Is the heater hose clipped to the side of the choke housing? Correct answer is YES. If not, fix, this is important to have. Choke rate depends on it.
You like electric chokes right? So do I, so I modified mine for it, And after a few weeks, changed it back. 1. It opens and warms up too fast, faster than the 307 likes. I tried and tried, I could not get the rate to be right for the 307. It would open, and then cool off too fast, remember that hose? You can't put it on a electric choke. It needs it. So fueling is always wrong with a electric choke. The hot air choke was a staple to Olds V8's. They just plain did well with them. Keep it that way, thank me later... I am a fanatic about good drivability, and know my stuff on these, and I couldn't get it to work worth it, the hot air choke did best by far.
Check all the vacuum lines, all should be good. If you need help routing them, snap a picture, I can help, I am sick, I still have them all memorized!

Re: 1987-1990 Carburator...replace?
Junkyard carb: You may get lucky and happen upon a usable Q-jet in the J-yard. However, all that I've seen are pretty beat and probably varnished up from sitting for who knows how long.
Again, what is your time worth: i.e. find a used carb, remove it, clean it up, install, mabey it will work, mabey it won't. How long before it craps out as well and the whole process starts over again.
I'm all for saving a few bucks when possible, but in this case it just doesn't pay in my opinion.
With all the pumping, hard starting, engine down on power you're definetly ready for a carb rebuild. It probably has a clogged catalytic converter as well, which would explain the lack of power and poor gas mileage.
An out of wack carb, running overly rich will do that, and kill the O2 sensor and foul the spark plugs in the process.
Oh, and you may have damaged the fuel pump with that severely clogged fuel filter.
Re: 1987-1990 Carburator...replace?
Quick. Look at this carb whose auction ends in less than an hour will it fit an Olds 307 on my 1990 Brougham? It looks like a good buy for a rebuilt one.

Re: 1987-1990 Carburator...replace?
I sent my carb to CARBS UNLIMITED INC. carburetors including Weber Edlebrock Holley Quadrajet to have a the fuel inlet retreaded and a rebuild. They do good work. But I know my wagon is missing some vacuum lines and other things. Even before the rebuild it ran fine, but you had to pump it like 10 times or more to start it when it was cold. Now its like 5 times so it's getting better. I replace the blocked breather today and it starter after 3 pumps.

Re: 1987-1990 Carburator...replace?
Getting back to your problem, both the starting issue and the lack of power at stoplights sounds like an accelerator pump problem. This is one of the things that gets replaced in a carb rebuild. You may also want to replace the choke coil. The bimetallic spring can lose tension over time. I replaced both the coil and the accelerator pump when I rebuilt my carb, and as I said, it starts like an EFI car.

Look around for mullions and/or umbrella mullions.

Sparkling shiraz is an Australian icon. Black Bubbles sums up the idea beautifully with dense colour, ripe berry and chocolatey qualities, mellow flavours, well-handled sweetness, a firm backbone of fine tannins and a long aftertaste. (Cork, 12.8 per cent alcohol.)

Actress Nimrat Kaur, who debuted with "Lunch Box", said the report that the film was being considered for an Oscar nomination came as a surprise.
"Our film was released on Friday and the news came out on Saturday... I was too distracted with the feedback we were getting for our film. The Oscar report came as a surprise, we were hoping for our best," Nimrat Kaur told reporters during the inaugration of 4th edition of Jagran film festival.
While "The Lunchbox" was one of the strong contenders, it was Gujarati film "The Good Road" that was eventually chosen as India's official entry.
The actress said she is very happy with the positive response to her debut film.
"'Lunch Box' has gotten only better with each passing day. The box office report doesn't matter as its my first film and I am more than happy with the response the film has garnered."
Directed by Ritesh Batra, "The Lunchbox" features Irrfan Khan and Nimrat Kaur in the lead.

Norwich — Southeastern Connecticut residents who donate blood regularly no longer have to follow announcements of blood drives and work it into their schedules.
The Red Cross Connecticut Blood Services Region on Thursday held a grand opening at its third permanent blood donation center in the state, located in the Staples shopping plaza at 45 Salem Turnpike-Route 82, a short distance from the Interstate 395 Exit 80 ramp.
The Norwich Blood Donation Center occupies 1,700 square feet of space on the left side of the Staples store and will be open Mondays and Thursdays from 12:30 to 6 p.m.
The center actually opened several months ago — long enough for regular donor Lynn Johnson of Preston to have donated three times at the location — but Red Cross officials wanted to wait before holding a grand opening. During Thursday's celebration, the center also was still interviewing staff applicants.
Regular blood donors who had made appointments for Thursday were surprised to be greeted by a crowded room with media cameras, a radio broadcast and U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, lying on a table giving a "double red cell" donation through new technology.
"I wasn't planning to come to the celebration," Norwich resident Marge Blizard said. "I was just planning to give blood."
"I'm a big fan," Norwich building inspector Joe East said. "I'm just here to donate."
Paul Sullivan, chief executive officer of the Red Cross Connecticut Blood Services Region, said the Red Cross wanted to have a permanent presence in southeastern Connecticut. The state's other blood donation centers are in Farmington and Norwalk.
Sullivan said the center will add to, not replace, the numerous blood drives hosted by churches and other civic groups and businesses throughout the region.
Connecticut needs about 150,000 units of blood per year and must import about 10,000 units because of shortfalls in collections in-state. The new Norwich Blood Donation Center is expected to bring in 100 donors per week, he said.
Six beds are set up for regular collections, and two beds are adjacent to the new double red cell donation machines, called the ALYX Component Collection System.
Sullivan said the new technology has been in use for about three months.
Registered nurse Janique Gill of Glastonbury described the process to Courtney as he pumped a red rubber ball during his donation. Gill said the double red cell donation takes longer, about 30 minutes instead of the regular blood donation time of eight minutes. The donor's blood is separated in the machine into red blood cells and platelets.
Toward the end of the process, platelets and saline equal to the amount of blood donated is injected back into the donor's body. The red blood cells are retained and are especially valuable to cancer patients and people with certain illnesses who need transfusions.
For the donor, it counts as two blood donations, making the person ineligible to give blood again for 112 days instead of the usual waiting period of 56 days.
Courtney said he has given blood before, but not for a "long time," and never using the double red cell system.
"This is a new experience for me," Courtney said on the radio as the saline was pumped into his body.
American Red Cross Norwich Blood Donation Center
45 Salem Turnpike, Norwich
Hours: Mondays and Thursdays from 12:30 to 6 p.m.
To make an appointment to donate blood or for more information, visit www.redcrossblood.org or call (800) RED-CROSS (733-2767).

Its very hard for you to beat Norman with a team like this with no fighting types. If you don't know this he fights with a double battle. I used a poke with status moves and a fighting type when I played against him

TD rejects Clonshaugh site for sewage treatment plant
The inclusion of Clonshaugh in Dublin as one of three potential sites for a new sewage treatment plant poses a significant environmental threat to a protected coastal amenity in north Dublin, Labour TD Tommy Broughan has claimed.
The Dublin North East TD said it also breached EU environment policy because if sited at Clonshaugh, 2.2km from Dublin Airport, its outfall – where treated effluent is discharged – would be at Baldoyle- Portmarnock and would threaten "the velvet strand from Portmarnock to Baldoyle bay and on to the Malahide estuary", an EU conservation area.
Mr Broughan said the location meant the sewage plant would be "dumped on a vulnerable lower income residential district", when there were more appropriate locations "in the heart of Fingal county".
Fingal County Council plans to build a regional sewage treatment plant in north Dublin. Clonshaugh is being considered along with Annsbrook, which is 2.7km west of Lusk, and Newtowncorduff, 1km west of Lusk.

Although many biographers and historians have examined Dr. King's activism, few have recognized the pivotal role that the people of Montgomery, Alabama, played in preparing him for leadership. King arrived in Montgomery as a virtually unknown doctoral student, but his activities there-from organizing the Montgomery bus boycott to building relationships with local activists such as Rufus Lewis, E.D. Nixon, and Virginia Durr-established h.

So, I'm watching a person in England talk about a bunch of interesting and not so interesting things right now, live, while other people ask intelligent and unintelligent questions.
If think about it, everything is strange.
Yes it is very strange, but also very cool. To talk to people not involved in on line forums, chat rooms etc - is one thing - but to claim you haz friends all over the world via these places - people are "uh-Huh".
Some of my friend's wives/husbands refer to their internet friends as "imaginary" friends.
And so did the locals from my local bar, as I used to talk about some friends and how they were to visit me, etc. And I would get the same detective questions, "how did you meet them?" - "oh so You've never met them and they are staying at your house ... huh"
First time I brought one of my best friends in the world, from Toronto, in there - and they loved her name, JuciLuci, they were quite taken aback. Huh, you can have some friends via these darn forums and do meet and greets. They need to get off the old bar stools and come about.
But then not every person is a forum type person.
We're not imaginary. And I've met some of the greatest people here and in another forum.
i woke up one morning and i stepped out of bed | had to get a bike, had to paint it red
Of all the treasures I have, its the memories that are the most precious.
And the darn gurl is still getting around via hobbling, hates walker, and a crutch with HOP associated to it.
She's one hell of a freaking gutsy gurl, a fantastic woman.
And I'm posting this for all to see versus PM'ing you - because I think the stem cell research is doing a wonderful thing - AND harvesting from the patient's own limbs - totally cool. And I'm posting because there are so many people out there with knee problems.
I have a great friend - a big bear of a guy whose entire family have knee problems - he was enthralled with what I told him about Juci in Canada. Here - he was told he has to wait as long as he can (he hopes to retire early) before they do constructive knee surgery on him. As they can really only do one main operation, and another minor operation - and then it's wheel chair time.
He has no cartilage either.

What did you think it was going to be? after all, humans invented it.
You see, their morals, their code...it's a bad joke, dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these...These "civilized" people...they'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve

You are both so awesome.
