Amit Singh, assistant professor of biology, worked with University of Dayton collaborator Madhuri Kango-Singh, pre-med and graduate students and other researchers at the University of Florida to investigate early detection of the disease, which afflicts an estimated 5.4 million Americans.
Using the fruit fly's eye as a model, the research team discovered that memory loss can likely be prevented by blocking the death of cells through the manipulation of a key gene, according to the university.
Researchers found that a stress-activated protein contributes to cell death, and that its pathway can be blocked. They're now collaborating with UD biologist Panagiotis Tsonis in testing 3,000 different drugs on the fruit flies to find candidates for stopping the death of neuronal cells in the fly eye.
"Alzheimer's is often detected very late, once the damage has been done," Singh said. "Scientists are looking into early detection, before you start seeing signs of cognitive decline."
The research is published in PLoS ONE, an international, peer-reviewed online journal.
Singh continues to research the genetics of fruit flies to understand birth defects, such as pediatric blindness and retinal diseases with a two-year $218,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health. And recently, Thomas Williams, another assistant biology professor at UD, was awarded a $132,000 grant from the American Heart Association to aid in researching genetic changes in fruit flies that translate to increased heart disease risk and other health issues in humans.

Business jet makers face battle on pricing as deliveries drop
* Industry deliveries to drop 10 pct in 2016 - Bombardier
* Buyers in Middle East, Brazil, Russia hesitant
* Makers cut output to protect prices
By Cyril Altmeyer
GENEVA, May 26 (Reuters) - Business jet manufacturers are locked in a price battle as deliveries of new aircraft remain weak and recently sold aircraft come back onto the market at attractive prices, delegates at an annual corporate jet convention said.
Demand for business jets reflects the health of economies and makers of corporate planes have been hard hit since the financial crisis.
Bombardier, unveiling its 10-year market forecast at the EBACE show in Geneva, projected industry deliveries to drop 10 percent this year to 540-560 jets after rising 1 percent in 2015. That compares with the peak of 811 deliveries in 2008.
"There is more offer than demand, there are too many airplanes in production," said Marco Tuilo Pellegrini, president and CEO of Embraer Executive Jets, highlighting competition from the market for used jets.
"The price war is being felt across the whole range," Eric Trappier, CEO of Dassault Aviation, told Reuters. Continuación...

If you could get up high enough in the sky, then you'd see that some rainbows continue below the horizon. That's because when the sun and rain combine to make a rainbow, they really make a full-circle rainbow. We can't see all of the circle, because the horizon blocks it from our view. Pilots high in the sky do sometimes report seeing genuine full-circle rainbows.
The only way to see the full circle of a rainbow in the sky is to be above the raindrops and have the sun behind you.

THE MATING (with photos)
Medical Checks before Breeding
You must make sure the bitch and the stud both are free from brucellosis before breeding them. Brucellosis causes eventual sterility in both sexes (sometimes non-obviously) and can cause a litter of puppies to be aborted or die shortly after birth. In addition, brucellosis is on occasion transmissible to humans via the urine or feces of an affected dog. Between dogs, it is most commonly passed in sexual intercourse, although an entire kennel can be infected through contact with secretions.The sire should be in excellent general health. The dam must be in good health, to withstand the stresses and rigors of a pregnancy. They must both be up to date on their vaccinations.
Frequency of BreedingIdeally, a bitch should only be bred every other year and she should not be bred much before two years of age. The season closest to the second birthday is a good one to start with; certainly no earlier than this. In some breeds, you may need to wait one more season before beginning. By this time, she is better prepared mentally for having puppies than she would have been with her first few seasons. Her physical growth is complete and pregnancy at this point won't endanger her health, provided that she is healthy to begin with.
In breeds with Hip Dysplasia, many people wait until after two years of age so that the parents can be certified; however if you have sent in xrays to OFA for preliminary evaluation and they came back as fine, many breeders consider it safe enough to then breed on the season closest to the second year, which can wind up being before the bitch is actually old enough to be certified. (And when the bitch is old enough, she is, of course, duly certified.) But the preliminary xrays must be examined by OFA, not by a local veterinarian. There are many dysplastic dogs out there that had vets look at their xrays and pronounce them "wonderful."
It's important, however, to keep the frequency of breeding low. Even at maximum, you want to allow at least one unbred season between breedings. This allows your bitch to rest and regain her strength. A bitch that whelps too often will produce weaker puppies more likely to die, and the repeated pregnancies are pretty rough on her, too.
For dogs, they should definitely have all their certifications necessary. For many breeds this means that they should be over two years old. Since a dog can be bred at any time, unlike bitches, waiting for two years is not a problem, whereas a bitch often has a season just before two years of age and then has to wait until 2.5 or three which sometimes presents problems in trying to time her litters. But this does not apply to a stud dog, so he should definitely have all of his checks and certifications before being bred. Frequency is not generally a problem although some dogs have problems with sperm production if they breed once a day for several days. They need top-quality feeding and care if they are going to be bred often
Considerations for Stud DogsFirst, remember that it is extremely difficult to come up with a top quality stud dog that people want to use. After all, they will look around and pick out the best male they can find. So your dog has to be pretty impressive to be noticed in the competition.
Your male should be in top condition. He should be certified clear of joint problems (and in many cases that means he has to be at least two years old). His eyes should be checked annually. He should be clear of any abnormalities common to his breed. No heart problems, no seizures, no thyroid problems, etc. He should be clear of brucellosis. His temperament should be good, and appropriate for his breed. If you have such a dog, you will need to get your dog well known. This generally involves showing your dog (in show, field, or obedience) and doing other work with him. An unproven dog (that has no previous puppies or only puppies too young to evaluate) will command a much lower stud dog fee than a proven dog (with a record of puppies to examine).
You must be prepared to board the bitch. The common procedure is for the bitch to be shipped out to stud, so you will need facilities to board bitches in heat. These facilities should be adequate for up to a week of boarding and to prevent any mismating. You might wind up with more than one bitch at a time -- can you board them all safely?
You must monitor the mating and be ready to intervene if necessary. Not all dogs or bitches understand what to do, especially if it is the first time for one or the other. It can be disastrous if two dogs are left alone to mate. Additionally, if the mating doesn't take, are you prepared to go through the whole thing again the next time the bitch comes into season? Typical contracts call for free repeat breeding in the case two or less puppies occur or the breeding doesn't take.
You need to be able to evalate the bitch's pedigree for compatibility with your dog's. Any good points or bad points of the litter are (rightly or not) attributed to the sire, so your dog's reputation is at stake with each litter he sires. You should be reasonably confident that the proposed breeding will result in good puppies.
If the owner of the bitch is a novice, are you prepared to assist with advice on whelping and puppy care? These people will expect you to have the answers. Sometimes entire litters of puppies are dumped on the stud dog owner when the bitch's owners can no longer cope with them because they didn't realize what a responsibility caring for a litter involved. Are you ready to take care of and place your dog's offspring if this should happen to you?
Are you prepared to deal with cases where you are certain your dog is not the sire of the puppies but the bitch's owner insists that he is? Or if the owner of the bitch insists that you must have allowed a mismating to occur when she was boarded with you? Disputes of this sort can become very ugly very quickly.
Prewhelping preparationsYou should have a sturdy, clean, proper sized whelping box for the litter. It MUST include a "pig rail" around the edge to prevent the bitch from laying on or smashing her pups. It should be big enought to allow the bitch to turn around but small enough to prevent the pups from being "lost" in the unused portions. About six inches longer than she is, fore and aft, when laying prone (as in suckling her puppies) and about a foot on either side length wise.
To get the whelping box ready for your bitch, get a sheet of plastic, such as you would use for painting a ceiling to protect the floor. Cut it up into several pieces the size of the whelping box. Put one piece of plastic down, several layers of newspaper, another piece of plastic, more layers of newspaper and so on for four or five layers. Then when your bitch is whelping puppies, you can roll off a layer when it gets messy -- and it will! -- and throw it away to instantly clean the whelping box.
Care of the Pregnant or Nursing BitchYou should make sure the bitch is up-to-date on all her vaccinations, medications, and shots before she is bred.
She should be under the care of a vet for any related problems. Dogs can have miscarriages. Illnesses, diseases, or infestations that the bitch picks up during her pregnancy can affect the puppies. Difficulties during whelping are entirely possible, and the rule for some breeds. You must be prepared to get her to the vet quickly in an emergency.
There are instances of "mummy puppies" where you have a puppy whose development went awry, but it was not aborted. Instead, it dries and shrivels up, and when born, looks like a mummified puppy, blackened and ready to rot. Overbreeding and inadequate care are usually the causes. It is quite likely that the dam will come down with an infected uterus after such a puppy. "Water puppies" are another type of problem in which the dead puppy appears to have never properly developed a skeleton and appears to be full of gelatin. This seems to be linked to a viral exposure.
Other congenital (but not genetic) defects can include: no anus, cleft palates and hare lips. These conditions require corrective surgery or the puppy will die.
Feeding the Pregnant Bitch
It is not necessarily
required to change the food a Lab is eating should she become pregnant.
However, 4-5 weeks into the pregnancy the puppies will begin to undergo
the most rapid development and will begin drawing required nutrients from
the dam if the demands of their nutritional requirements exceed the level
of nutrients in her diet. One way to increase the dam's nutrient intake
is to increase the amount of food she is being fed. One drawback to this
is that the growing pups will be taking up more abdominal space, therefore,
excess food in her stomach may cause her discomfort and she may refuse
to eat. To prevent this, the total amount of food is increased but divided
into small portions and fed more frequently. Since many bitches also have
problems with upset stomach during the pregnancy due to increased stomach
acidity, the more frequent feedings will help to reduce this upset, as
well. We will increase by 1 to 2 cups per day between the 5th and 9th week
of the pregnancy (that's a total of 5 to 6 cups per day since our adults
get a total of 4 cups per day for a normal feeding). By the last two weeks
of the pregnancy, our bitches are usually eating about 8 times per day
(about 3/4 of a cup at a time). No vitamin supplementation or calcium supplementation
during pregnancy is required. Alternatively, some breeders will feed puppy-food
(which is higher in vitamins, protein, and calories) to the dam during
the pregnancy. In this way, the food content need not be increased.
The gestation period (pregnancy) for dogs is approximately 63 days, plus or minus about 5 days. Because there is such a wide margin for delivery and because most of the deliveries here have begun during the early hours of the morning, during the final week of the pregnancy we place a baby monitor beside the whelping box at night so that we can hear any activity. Usually, our girls whelp around day 60 but we look for other signs that whelping may be imminent, as well. Such signs usually appear within twenty-four hours of delivery. The mother-to-be will be restless and dig at the blankets in her whelping box, or dig holes in the garden (nesting). She may refuse to eat or she will vomit and have diarrhea. Additionally, her body temperature will drop to about 99 degrees just prior to giving birth (normal temperature is about 101.8 degrees). Once labor begins, "mom" will pant and sometimes moan. Eventually, moans will be replaced by grunts which coincide with uterine contractions. These can be felt if one places his hands on the abdomen of the bitch.
Puppies are born enclosed in an amniotic sac. An umbilical cord is attached to the placenta which in turn is attached to the uterine wall of the bitch. Usually, each puppy will be associated with one placenta. Normally, puppies are born head-first and each delivery will be followed by a placenta. Though many bitches are perfectly capable of delivering without any assistance, we like to be standing by just in case there may be complications. Even when present, however, we will not usually assist until we think the bitch requires assistance. For example, if she shows no interest in tearing open the sac or if we feel it is taking too long then we will tear it open ourself. We do not usually tie off cords, but we do "cut" cords. We will supervise the bitch as she crushes and tears the cord to ensure that she does not accidently injure the pup. Usually we will hold the puppy and grasp the cord providing a counter pull to prevent potential hernia. If the bitch is unable to crush and tear the cord, then we will cut it ourself. If the cord is accidently severed too close to the pup then we will tie it off with a little bit of suture material or embroidery thread to prevent bleeding. Additionally, we do stimulate my bitches to eat the placentas, at least two or three of them. It is, however, important to keep count of all the placentas to ensure that none have been retained. Once the puppy is born, we will assess its condition. If it is screeching and indignant, then we will allow the bitch to clean it herself. If, however, it appears sluggish, weak, or lifeless then we will attempt to resuscitate the puppy. First, we will rub it vigorously with a towel. If there appears to be mucus or fluid in its nose and mouth, we will hold the puppy, belly up, in a towel above our head and then swing it in a downward arc so that centrifugal force causes the fluid to be expelled. If the puppy is still not breathing, then we will lightly blow air into its nostrils.
The duration of the whelping is dependent on many factors including the number and size of puppies. In a normal delivery without complications, puppies can be delivered anywhere from 10 minutes or as much as 2 hours apart. The uterus of the canine is Y-shaped, with the tail of the "Y" forming the cervix and the V-shaped portion of the "Y" forming the two horns of the uterus extending along either side of the abdomen. Usually, the puppies occupying one horn of the uterus will be delivered first then puppies occupying the other horn will follow. As a result of this, there may be an interlude where the bitch will not deliver any puppies for up to 2 hours. This actually allows the new "mom" a brief reprieve where she can have a drink of water and be allowed outside to relieve herself. Walking the bitch may also help in speeding up contractions of the second uterine horn, as well. When walking our girls during labor, we will bring a towel and a flashlight (if it's dark outside) in case a pup happens to be born outside.
In between deliveries, newborns are allowed to nurse. This is important for two reasons: first, it is essential that each puppy ingest "colostrum" which is secreted from the mammary glands immediately after birth and which is rich in maternal antibodies and will protect the pups from infection until they develop their own immunity, and second, nursing increases uterine contractions and helps to speed up delivery. Once contractions start to come closer together indicating that another puppy is on its way into the world, we remove the newborns from the whelping box, put them in a laundry basket lined with towels, and place the laundry basket close to the whelping box. This prevents the newborns from getting stepped on when "mom" stretches out or moves around while having the contractions.
Puppies cannot hear or see at birth, however, they are born with a strong "rooting" instinct to latch-on and nurse. Time of eye opening is usually 10 to 14 days following birth but can be as late as 16 days, particularly in litters born prematurely. Birth weight is also dependent on many factors and varies widely from litter to litter with weights ranging from 5 ounces to greater than 16 ounces in some cases.
Unlike the black puppies
which are born with black skin pigment, the yellow puppies in a litter
are born without any skin pigment and as a result have pink noses, pads,
and bellies. Black pigment gradually begins to appear within 3-7 days following
birth. Some yellows take up to 14 weeks to acquire complete pigmentation.
PostwhelpingAfter the puppies are born, there are many strategies for lining the whelping box. Some people continue to use newspapers, but puppies get pretty dirty from both newspaper print and feces. Other people have had success with synthetic materials on top of absorbent materials: the synthetic material provides secure footing, but the urine and other liquids pass through it to leave it dry. Other people use pine shavings (about six inches deep). You will do a lot of laundering to keep things clean no matter what you use. You will also have to clean the feces out of the whelping box after your bitch decides that's no longer her job.
Newborn puppies MUST be kept warm. The temperature in the whelping box at birth should be 90 F. The temperature can then be decreased 2 degrees every other day. NEVER FEED A CHILLED PUPPY!!! If a puppy becomes chilled it will cry continually and it will tuck its tail between its little legs. A healthy, happy, litter will "purr" like a swarm of bees and when feeding their tails will be straight out from their bodies. Warm any chilled puppy by putting the puppy under your shirt and under your armpit. The best method of warming a puppy is to use a special whelping box heating pad with a towel over it to prevent soiling the pad. Make sure the temerature does not go too high. Heating lamps are ok but puppies can become dehydrated. If the litter clumps together and cries, they are too cold; if they separate and try to hide under shade, they are too hot.
Large litters will require supplemental feedings if you want all the puppies to survive. Your bitch may not be able to care for a very large litter. You will need to get the pups rotating on shifts. For the first two weeks you may have to supplement as much as every four hours. Use a good prepared milk-supplement especially formulated for puppies. If you get in a bind you can use a goat-milk recipe available in most books about breeding and whelping pups. Never tube feed pups that will not suckle from a bottle!
If you have a purebred litter, you must record the date of birth and all of the pups in your record book. Then you will need to fill out and send in your litter registration form. You want to do this as soon as possible, since many registries can take up to 6 weeks to return the forms for individual registration to you (which you will want to give to your puppy buyers later).
You will have to keep the whelping box clean. For the first two weeks the bitch will keep the pups pretty clean, but the bedding should be changed twice a day at minimum. Starting week three, the pups start to eliminate some on their own, then you will need to clean much more often!
At four weeks, the pups usually become very active and it this time may require a larger area then the welping box...you will need a large ex-pen or some way of confining them safely. You do have a place to keep them that they are safe in and can't destroy? Puppies at this stage can devastate a room or garage in hours.
At week four or five you will probably want to introduce the pups to weaning food. Usually you will have to mush up the dry puppy food for the pups to be able to eat it. Use warm water and let the food stand in a bowl for about 2 hours.
At week six you should vaccination and worm the pups, and have them checked for heartmurmers, hernias, males for testicles (yes you should be able to feel them at 6 weeks!), deafness, and eye problems.
You should be socializing now too... And are you going to do any puppy testing for temperaments? At seven weeks you should be calling up those people with deposits on your pups and getting your paper work all sorted out. How about pictures of the pups for your clients?
And this is just if everything goes perfectly! What happens if one of the pups has a heart murmer, or a hernia? What about a deaf puppy? What if your whole litter gets parvo or distemper? What happens if one of the pups is affected with "swimmer-puppy" syndrome? What about fading-puppy syndrome? What happens if your bitch gets an infection or mastitis? What if she dies?

When to Visit
Since the New England Aquarium in Boston is among the most popular attractions for visitors and locals alike (especially school groups and families), we recommend visiting early in the day if possible.
You'll avoid more crowds and will be able to spend more time enjoying each exhibit without the press of people. If you can't make it early in the morning, try late afternoon.
What to Do
While the New England Aquarium is filled with hundreds of fascinating and wonderful creatures, there are a few highlighted exhibits that tend to be visitor-favorites.
The newly renovated Giant Ocean Tank is home to more than 1,000 fishes and now houses more than twice the number of animals that were in the old exhibit.
Myrtle, the 550-pound green sea turtle that was the star of the old exhibit, is back, except she now has two loggerhead sea turtles and a Kemp's ridley sea turtle to keep her company.
Forty-feet in diameter and filled with 200,000 gallons of water, the Giant Ocean Tank is also now flanked by iPads loaded with an interactive fish ID application that will allow interested visitors to identify whatever creature in the exhibit they choose.
With rare species like midnight parrotfish, trumpetfish, guitarfish and yellow goatfish, that application is sure to come in handy.
Penguinology: Explore the Secret World of Penguins is among the most popular of the Aquarium's exhibits.
Featuring three different species of penguin, this behind-the-scenes exhibit allows you to see these fascinating creatures up close, explore their dwellings, and learn how they move so incredibly fast underwater.
The recently renovated Yawkey Coral Reef Center is a comprehensive reef environment that showcases an entire vibrant ecosystem within a 24-foot-tall tank.
From the impressive predators swimming the waters at the top to the subtle creatures populating the tank's bottom, there's just simply so much life to be observed in this one environment.
Be sure to be on the look out for the garden eel and the long spined sea urchin!
If you're looking to see something a bit more exotic, keep your eye out for the Amazon Rainforest as it appears in urban Boston!
Six different Amazon exhibits will make you feel like you've gone on a jungle adventure as they immerse you in the amazing tropical world of South America.
Look for poison dart frogs, piranhas, anacondas, and more dangerous but beautiful creatures.
A favorite with kids is the Shark and Ray Touch Tank, a totally interactive experience that's actually the largest exhibit of its kind on the East Coast.
This mangrove-themed tank features cownose rays, epaulette sharks, and Atlantic rays in shallow, clear water that's perfect for observing and reaching out to encounter these magnificent creatures.
Want to learn more about the creatures of the Boston Harbor and beyond? Visit the Gulf of Maine exhibits to encounter creatures as varied as lobsters, dogfish sharks, sea stars, cod, and many more.
The Gulf of Maine stretches all the way from Boston to the Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary in Maine, so the diversity of sealife alone is impressive.

Earlier this week we announced Blake Lewis' signing to Republic Records and his collaboration with Internet Explorer. Now, we go a little deeper in getting to know this man of many talents!
Why do you make music?
I make music to set my soul free. I feel I have too much bottled up inside at all times and need to communicate myself in the most creative ways possible. Music is my cathartic release. Might sound cheesy to most people, but not to me.
What do you love about it?
I love everything about music. The way it can transcend space and time, take you on a journey down memory lane and make you fall in love time and time again.
If you couldn't make music, what would you do for a living?
I would be getting in to sketch comedy and pursuing my career in film and voice acting.
What was the first concert you went to?
I remember seeing a local band called Super Deluxe at the Redmond Fire House when I was in Jr. High and loved every minute of there set. But I grew up with my mom being in bands and singing to me since I was a wee lad. So that would be my first concert technically.
What was the first record you bought?
Well, are we talking actual vinyl, tape or cd??? My first album on vinyl was either Duran Duran "Duran Duran" or Michael Jackson's "Thriller." I can't remember that far back. One of my first tapes was Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock "It Takes Two" and my first CD was Pearl Jam "Ten."
What's your fave record out right now and why?
I have a couple. For album it would be JMSN "Pricilla" and for record I would say "Latch" by Disclosure and "Strung Out" by Calyx & Teebee. All sexy jams.
What's your sad/mad/happy go-to song?
Sad: "Save Me" by Justin Nozuka
Mad: "Hero's and Villains" by Calyx & Teebee
Happy: "Mirrorball" by Elbow
Were you concerned you'd be pigeonholed as "that guy who beatboxed?"
Yes, I totally wanted to avoid being the beatbox guy on American Idol but that's something I've always struggled with as an artist, long before I was on television. I¹ve always had to walk a fine line between my beatboxing and singing. I use my beatboxing as the stepping-stone for creation, it has always been the foundation to my creative process as a loop-based musician. I loop a beat, put down a bass line and start coming up with melodies, whether on the piano, guitar or with my voice. It's just what I do but it's not just about the beatboxing as much as it is that it's one step of an entire creative process. Before I even had the chance to sing live on American Idol, they had already edited me in all the commercials as the "Beatbox Guy." I didn't love that so on the first night of live performances, I wanted to show the depth of my singing and was the only artist to sing a ballad "Somewhere Only We Know" – by Keane. The producer, Nigel was pretty adamant with me throughout the week that I beatbox but I stayed true to myself. They really wanted to manipulate me in to their own image, so every week I did my own thing and was the first to arrange/produce my own covers on that show.
Who inspired you to beat box?
There have been multiple artists and performers who inspired me to create noise, which is what lead me to beatbox. The first three in my early development were Robin Williams, Michael Winslow and Michael Jackson. I had been watching Mork & Mindy and I was fascinated by all the zany sounds Robin would make. Michael Winslow's sound effects in all the Police Academy movies had me transfixed on the TV, soaking up every sound he made and not many people know or realize that Michael Jackson was an amazing beatboxer. In all of his rhythmic songs there was always some form of it and laid nicely into the track. I didn't find beatboxing till later in high school when I saw a beatboxer Matthew Selby in an amazing a-cappella group called M-Pact that he was in. I remember it like it was yesterday. The first episode of South Park had just aired and I was obsessed with doing all the voices. Matt and I hit it off after the show and I've been beatboxing ever since. It went from something I had been doing subconsciously my whole life to that one guy who can't stop making noises with his mouth.
Talk about your experience with voice acting
Along with making noises as a child, I would do cartoon character voices. I started getting into voice-over acting many years ago and love making new characters up. Growing up around the greater Seattle area there are many outlets for voice actors especially since half of the video games made come out of Washington. My first gig was doing some vocal sound effects for a game called Crash Bandicoot. I loved it! Since then I've worked on a couple cartoons for Cartoon Network, some Anime and was all the voices of The Gremlins in their last video game.
What do you think of reality shows and competitions?
I never really watched a lot of TV after high school and at that time reality TV was just taking off. The last time I had seen a show of American Idol's caliber was when MTV's The Real World had just started its fifth season, which took place in Seattle in '98. It was cool to see my hometown on the screen and all the drama unfold in places I had frequented. Kind of random that I ended up on a competition/reality show that I had never seen. The universe has a sense of humor and I'm glad I ended up there in that moment in time.
Talk about collaborating with Sir Mix- a-Lot
Sir Mix-a-lot. When I came home for the first time during Idol. I ended up playing two shows. To my surprise, Sir Mix-A-Lot was at my first. He and Pat Monahan from Train introduced me to the Seattle audience of about 10,000 people. Later in my set, Sir came up and we rocked "Baby Got Back" for the crowd. It was a great day.
How's Jimmie Walker Blue doing?
Jimmy, Bob Bobberson and a bunch of my other characters come out from time to time. Mainly at costume parties, in YouTube videos or around Halloween. We are all chameleons so it's always fun to be someone else for a day.

SEATTLE -- Here, piggy piggy piggy! Three Visayan warty pigs, all females, have made their way to Woodland Park Zoo this summer. The zoo invites community members to select their favorite names for the wild pigs through a contest from July 22 to August 3 presented by U.S. Bank and The Seattle Times.
The zoo has chosen six names native to the warty pigs' homeland of the Visayan Islands in the central Philippines. Now, it's your chance to vote for three of your favorite names and to give these pigs their titles.
ADLAW (sun)
BULAK (flower)
LASANG (forest)
MAGDULA (playful)
BANHAAN (nosey)
GUAPA (beautiful)
Voting is open to participants of all ages. To claim prizes, entrants must be legal Washington state residents and 18 or older (or have guardian approval); one ballot per eligible entrant.
Ballots will be available every day in The Seattle Times from July 22 - August 3, 2012. All ballots must be returned to a participating Puget Sound area U.S. Bank location during business hours by end of business day August 4, 2012.

Free flow vehicle speed statistics
Information and statistics on free flow vehicle speeds.
These statistics relate to free flow vehicle speeds on British roads. Free flow vehicle speeds provide information on the speeds at which drivers choose to travel and their compliance with speed limits, but should not be taken as estimates of actual average speed across the road network.
An index sheet of all the free flow vehicle speed tables is available.
Average speed statistics are available from road congestion and reliability statistics.
Technical information
Free flow speed statistics are produced by monitored traffic speeds at about 100 sites using automatic traffic counters (ATC), deliberately located where external factors which might restrict driver behaviour are not present.
Statistics are presented by different road types and by different vehicle types. The term 'built-up' is used to describe roads on which a 40 miles per hour or lower limit applies; the term 'non-built-up' describes all other roads.
National administrations in England, Scotland and Wales are responsible for setting speed limits on motorways and trunk 'A' roads. Local authorities have the power to impose or vary speed limits on principal roads and on all other local roads. Details of speed limits by vehicle for different road categories can be found below.
Further technical information on the free flow speeds:
User feedback
We continuously review the content of these statistics to ensure they are meeting users' needs. A summary of the feedback we have received from users is available in Meeting customers' needs: users and uses of road traffic statistics and data.

Florida Counties Losing 1.5 Billion
Florida's 67 counties have lost 1.5 billion dollars over the past three years due to property tax cuts and falling home values. The counties are expected to lose another 730 million in 2010 alone. The Florida Association of Counties is asking lawmakers for relief, but the governor says the people need more tax breaks.
In 2007 Governor Charlie Crist promised Amendment one would make property taxes would "drop like a rock". While they didn't exactly shoot to the bottom, the tax cut is expected to leave counties with 430 million fewer dollars by 2010.
Still the tax cut accounts for only a third of the 1.5 billion dollars counties are losing. Statewide property values have fallen by 184 billion dollars, which accounts for half the money counties have lost.
The decrease is leaving Florida's 67 counties with fewer law enforcement officers, maintenance crews and fire protection.
Florida Association of Counties President Rodney Long says people will notice the cuts. "In my county we actually didn't fill some of the vacancies and we reduced some of our levels of services," said Long.
Governor Charlie Crist says counties could make due with even less. "What county governments need to do is exactly what we have done here at the state level and what Florida families have to do, live within their means," said Crist.
For county governments living within the means allotted by falling home prices and property taxes, cuts will mean more layoffs and fewer services.
For more information about how much property tax values have fallen in your county go to www.fl-counties.com/proptax/

I really like the colour! It suits you.
May I ask, how can henna help the health of the hair...? Just wondering....I don't know a lot about henna.
Finer, mixed with coarser strands, low-porosity, wavy curly whirly hair...3A, 2C hair. Medium thickness, medium elasticity.
S-shaped hair with corkscrew ends. My hair is even more confused than me ;p
My hair officially hates protein
Once a month is enough!
Currently a fan of TiGi products, (rock on, TiGi Curlesque styling creme!) but that will soon change - I am a self-avowed product junkie! Yay!
BIG fan of supersoaker method - thanks Rudeechick!

Electrical wiring running parellel and through ductwork?
I keep finding interesting things in this rental home. The basement has an open ceiling in most areas. The "duct" leading to the external compressor is sheet metal nailed over a pair of floor joists to turn them into a duct.
However, it appears than when it was installed, the installer didn't worry about the electrical wiring that was already going through those joists. There are about eight wires which go through those joists, parallel to them, and most of them are through holes that aren't sealed well.
Are the wires parallel or perpendicular? If the wires are going ACROSS the airflow, it's OK.

Australia has opened its under-22 Asian soccer championship campaign with a 1-0 victory over Kuwait.
Adelaide United midfielder Ryan Kitto led a second-half resurgence at Oman's Royal Police Stadium on Sunday, netting the winner in the 70th minute.
But the three points didn't come easy for the Australians, who were saved by the woodwork on two occasions during a fast-paced opening half dominated by Kuwait.
The tide turned with several shots on target in the second period, including a fierce strike by Stefan Mauk that hit the crossbar and a disallowed goal by Hagi Gligor 52 minutes in.
Coach Aurelio Vidmar said he was pleased with the win given his side's early nerves in the 31-degree heat.
"I'm very happy with the win as, although we started the game quite strongly in the first 15 minutes, we lost our way for much of the first half," Vidmar told the-afc.com.
"In the second half we controlled the game for long periods and dominated possession. The players were nervous at the beginning but once that period was over their confidence grew."
Vidmar, who is using the tournament to blood younger players targeting the 2016 Rio Olympics, praised Kitto and his teammates' efforts across the park.
"Our defence was very good and the goalkeeper (John Hall) and central midfielders worked very hard," he said.
Kuwait coach Jorvan Vieira admitted his side paid the price for their dishevelled performance.
"The truth is we helped Australia to beat us. We made mistakes through bad work, that's the reason," he said.
"Today we were very bad, we lost our style of play."
Australia's victory has put them on top of Group C, after Japan and Iran fought out a 3-3 draw.
They next face Iran on Tuesday, with Kuwait to seek redemption against Japan later in the day.

Both are foreign educated and raised in an urban set up, but are wooing rural voters with rustic charm. There are reports that the real war is between Akhilesh and Rahul in UP. While Rahul is a 41-year-old bachelor, Akhilesh is 38 and the father of three.
With Akhilesh being portrayed as the next gen of the Samajwadi Party (SP), Rahul embodies the fresh face of the Congress that is hoping to revive its lost glory in the state. Rahul has also managed to turn heads at the national level with his stand of party matters and fiery statements.
With Akhilesh shooting of rhetoric mooting for change in the state, his rallies are major crowd pullers in the state.
Rahul in an effort to dim Akhilesh's charm said, "I know Akhilesh. He speaks English, uses computers, but Mulayam Singh says that the poor in UP don't need computers or English. If that is so, why does Akhilesh speak English? Why does he use computers?"
Snubbing Rahul's charges, Akhilesh has been quoted as saying, "I am not against computers or English but I want preference for Hindi and Urdu."
With both the youngsters laying out their ammunition in battleground UP, there are fan following for both Rahul and Akhilesh. It remains to be seen if they have the political acumen in the biggest political circus.

The temptation to respond 'No, they didn't' is overwhelming, and unfortunately it's also accurate. Bogdanovich's romantic comedy (involving three operatives from a detective agency and the women they have been assigned to watch) crucially lacks wit, and gauche clumsiness proves no substitute. Ritter's totally graceless performance punctures more laughs than it raises, and Gazzara is still in his expressionless period. There are occasional glimmers of what might have been in the fresh performances of the actresses. But it plods where it should sparkle, like a celebration where the champagne's gone flat.

What is Big Data?
Big Data describes the process of extracting actionable intelligence from disparate, and often times non-traditional, data sources. These data sources may include structured data such as databases, sensor, click stream and location data, as well as unstructured data like email, HTML, social data and images. The actionable data may be represented visually (e.g. in a graph), but it is often distilled down to a structured format, which is then stored in a database for further manipulation.
The sheer size of data being collected is more than traditional compute infrastructures can handle; exceeding the capacities of databases, storage, networks and everything in between. Extracting actionable intelligence from BigData requires handling large amounts of disparate data and processing it very quickly. Finally, the data inputs and the actionable intelligence must be correct; the data must be consistent and clean. As the saying goes, garbage in, garbage out. All of these demands are overwhelming traditional computing infrastructure. IBM describes these new demands across four dimensions: Volume, Velocity, Variety and Veracity. I would add Richly Linked Data to this list—processing Big Data uncovers rich relationships between that data—except I cannot think of a "V" word that says richly linked. To deal with the onslaught of Big Data, companies are turning to new tools and new business processes.
Big Data Tools
As Big Data overwhelms traditional databases, storage and more, companies are looking to exploit new tools like Hadoop, SSD, database virtualization, storage virtualization, network virtualization, and more. The reality is that you want to avoid single device bottlenecks, since they inhibit scaling. Hadoop uses map-reduce to spread analytical processing across armies of commodity servers. SSD, while expensive per GB of data capacity, provides the performance necessary to keep up with the velocity of Big Data. Virtualization of the database, storage and networking provides the elasticity and agility needed to scale to address Big Data demands, while delivering a consistent quality of service. These are just some of the tools being brought to bear on the Big Data challenge.
Big Data Business Processes
The benefits of Big Data are quite tantalizing. Big Data can be used to improve efficiency and the predictive capabilities in everything from health care to oil drilling. Once businesses get a taste of Big Data, their appetite becomes insatiable. This has spawned new business processes to meet the rising demand. Moving to the cloud is one such business process enabling Big Data. Cloud enables you to process your Big Data using say 1,000 machines for just an hour, paying only for the time you use them. This makes Big Data processing cost-effective in terms of both operational expenses (OpEx) and capital expenses (CapEx). Another interesting business process that is becoming popular is cloud-bursting. Cloud-bursting means running the core process on your own machines, but allowing overflow compute demands to run on a public cloud, typically for a short period of time. Creative companies will use these and other innovative business processes to deal with the growing demands of Big Data.
What Role do Databases Play in Big Data?
Big Data begets Bigger Data. The more a company recognizes the transformative role of Big Data, the more data they seek to capture and utilize. As a result, more companies are capturing more data. This includes everything from web analytics and click stream data to expanding their database schema to capture more transactional information. The more you utilize Big Data, the more data you seek to collect.
Databases are broken into two classes: analytical and transactional. Transactional databases capture structured information and maintain the relationships between that information. Transactional data is one feedstock for Big Data. Analytical databases then sift through the structured and unstructured data to extract actionable intelligence. Often times, this actionable intelligence is then stored back in a transactional database.
How are Transactional Databases Handling Big Data?
Big Data requires decentralization. Because of the volume and velocity of data being processed, centralization is anathema to Big Data. The networking, storage and compute must be decentralized or they will not scale. However, centralization is a core tenant of SQL databases. Traditional databases tightly link computation, caching and storage in a single machine in order to deliver optimal performance. There are two approaches to scaling SQL databases in order to handle Big Data—namely sharding and shared-data clustering.
One approach to decentralizing transactional databases is sharding. If you have an existing schema, sharding removes the relations between tables and then stores those various tables in separate databases. This forces the application layer to maintain, and in some cases reconstruct, those relationships. One common approach to sharding is to split customers across multiple databases. For example, you might have customers 1-10,000 in one database, then 10,001-20,000 in another database and so on.
Sharding is one way to scale your data handling needs, but it is very inflexible, it doesn't adhere to the Big Data principle of agility. A sharded database cannot add new data sources, and new ways of processing that data, on the fly. Sharding creates a rigid structure that necessitates a painful re-sharding each time you modify or expand the data or relationships between the data.
Shared-Data Clustering
Shared-data database clusters, as provided by ScaleDB and Oracle RAC®, deliver the agility required to handle Big Data. Unlike sharded databases, shared-data clusters support elastic scaling. If your database requires more compute, you can add compute nodes. If your database is I/O bound, you can add storage nodes.
In keeping with the Big Data principle of distributing the workload, shared-data clusters parallelize some processing across smart storage nodes, further eliminating bottlenecks, and allowing you to scale to address your Big Data needs.
Unlike sharded databases, shared-data clusters maintain the flexibility to add new tables and relationships on the fly. This flexibility is imperative, in order to keep up with the ever changing data sources and data relationships driven by Big Data.
How Can You Prepare for Big Data?
The most important first step in preparing for Big Data is to consider scale, parallelization, and agility. These issues must be considered when choosing your computing tools and your business processes. Maintain agility or flexibility, because your data and your processing needs will change and that change may be rapid and disruptive. Scale and parallelization go hand-in-hand. The only way you can scale to handle Big Data, is by leveraging parallelization. This means you must distribute processing, data and networking so as to avoid bottlenecks.
These same principles aplpy to your business processes. This may involve exploiting elastic cloud computing either directly or through cloud bursting. Consider that, as you plan your infrastructure and your schemas today, things will change relatively quickly. Big Data begets Bigger Data, so prepare for future scale and agility today.

Spiced Pear Butter
READY IN: 2hrs
Top Review by Misses Wilson
I had never made pear or apple butter before and this saved me when my brother showed up on my doorstep with 40lbs of fresh pears!!! It was delicious! A bit heavy on the sweet so next time I will use maybe 1/2 the sugar or no sugar, as I tend to use over-ripe fruit just for the natural sweet! It helped a ton to have access to a gas burner for this recipe! If your kitchen doesn't have gas think about your gas BBQ, worked wonders for us!! Thanks for posting this!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2721.55 g pears, peeled cored and chopped (about 16 large) (ripe)
- 709.77 ml apple juice
- 4 cinnamon sticks, (3-inch) broken into pieces
- 2 slice fresh gingerroot, 1 oz
- 12 whole allspice
- 8 whole cloves
- 709.77 ml sugar
Directions See How It's Made
- Combine pears and apple juice in a large Dutch oven.
- Tie broken cinnamon spices, gingerroot, allspice and cloves in a piece of cheese cloth; add to pear mixture. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until pears are tender.
- Drain pears, and discard spice bag.
- Mash pears or process in food processor until smooth.
- Return pear puree to Dutch oven, and add sugar.
- Cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 30 to 40 minutes or until mixture thickens, stirring frequently.
- Remove from heat, and quickly pour hot pear mixture into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace; wipe jar rims.
- Cover at once with metal lids, and screw on bands.
- Process in boiling water bath for 5 minutes.

Parents of prospective students are invited to attend open houses at Prospect Latin Preschool, 8907 U.S. 42, Prospect, on Jan. 25 and 26.
Open houses are scheduled 10:30-11:30 a.m. and 3:30-4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 25 and Thursday, Jan. 26.
The independent, academic preschool offers a full-day and part-day year-round early childhood program for children ages 18 months to 5 years.
After a major spike in drug-and alcohol-related suspensions three years ago, Oldham County school officials developed a plan to reduce those numbers — and it's working.
Projections for this school year estimate the number of student suspensions will be half what they were in the 2008-09 school year, the year before the plan's implementation. This school year there have been 23 suspensions, compared to 53 at the same time last year.
After 28 years in the Oldham County school district, Superintendent Paul Upchurch has announced he will retire in June.
Upchurch announced his decision Monday during the board of education meeting.
Upchurch became superintendent in 2005 after seven years leading the Elizabethtown Independent School District. Prior to Elizabethtown, Uphurch was both a teacher and principal for Oldham County Schools.
One major factor in the timing of his retirement are the changes coming with Kentucky Senate Bill 1, Upchurch said.
Thirteen Oldham County teachers are now part of the National Board Certification ranks, a certification process synonymous with great teaching.
While state teacher credentialing programs set the basic requirements to teach in each state, National Board Certified Teachers must demonstrate advanced teaching knowledge, skills and practices.
School lunches aren't just chicken nuggets and pizza any more — and Oldham elementary schools have the award to prove it.
All 10 elementary schools achieved the bronze level award through the HealthierUS School Challenge, a voluntary national certification.
An outspoken member of the school district's Local Planning Committee will not be invited back next year.
Jim Urban, director of Planning and Development, received an email from Superintendent Paul Upchurch that the district appreciates his time on the committee and his service is now complete.
Changing the lives of students struggling to read is the focus of a new program at Oldham County schools.
The district added the Reading Recovery partnership this fall, a short-term intervention program for first-grade students struggling to read. The program is used in more than 80 Kentucky school districts.
The program pairs students one-on-one with a Reading Recovery teacher for 30 minutes a day for 12 weeks.
Tony Cotten, publisher of The Oldham Era, recently presented a $670 donation from the newspaper and its subscribers to Blessings in a Backpack CFO Kevin Beam.
The Oldham Era hosted a subscription drive this fall with the promise that $10 from every full-price subscription would benefit Blessings in a Backpack, an organization designed to ensure students don't go hungry on weekends.
A new member joined the Oldham County Board of Education at Monday night's meeting.
Anne Coorssen, the district's general counsel, swore in Jennifer Beckner to finish the division five term vacated by former board member Jennifer Jones in September.
Beckner, a former PTA president at La Grange Elementary, has a bachelor's degree in counseling and rehabilitation and has worked for an adoption agency, youth homeless shelter and day care.
Students in eighth grade who wish to attend a Catholic high school next year are required to take the Catholic high school placement test scheduled 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 10.
Students take the test at the high school they plan to attend. They must bring a $10 fee and two No. 2 pencils.
The placement test helps Catholic secondary schools determine the most appropriate course work and academic path for meeting the needs of each student.

[quote:YOUCITY 18850702:MV8xNzU0NTQ3XzMyNzY1NTI5X0YwMjc4MjJB] [quote:peanut 512778:MV8xNzU0NTQ3XzMyNzUzMDIzXzc0RjI4Q0Qz] [quote:YOUCITY 18850702:MV8xNzU0NTQ3XzMyNzMyNDkxXzQ5RkQwRTJE] This is so weird & it's been happening now for years , it may not make to much sense to some of you but to others it might , it seems like anytime I'm researching st.louis & the knights Templars or stargates or basically anything esoteric you might say , I always come across the same few names , always , those names are , in order of most occurrences are, Marie Antointette , Saint Germain , & King Louis IV & XVI, and while I'm on the topic I'd like to point out one other name the constanly keeps popping up & I've mentioned a couple of time before and that is the name LORRAINE , it's a town in France & also it seems to be an important bloodline. [/quote] "The Cross of Lorraine is far more explicit in it's iconography: the bar above mirroring the bar below, both of which are symmetrically affixed to a central pillar that provides balance and equilibrium. As above, so below is, after all, a Hermetic maxim. And the three bars of which the cross is composed echo Eliphas Levi's concept of the true trinity. Levi posited that the world is governed by two primordial forces, one creative, the other destructive. The equilibrium between these two forces constitutes a third force, and the union of the three constitutes what some might refer to as... God. The central role of the principle of equilibrium in various occult arts cannot be overstressed. For Master Mason Albert Pike, equilibrium represented the Royal Secret, the pivotal principle upon which the universe is ordered. And Pike's specific designation of equilibrium as a royal secret is of particular significance because, as previously mentioned, Hermeticism has traditionally been known as the Royal Art, and its central tenet is essentially that of equilibrium. And too, when Pike calls it a Royal secret, he isn't speaking figuratively, but strictly in literal terms. Hermes, according to legend, was the sole receptacle of the secret doctrine of the antediluvian world, which he revived after the flood and passed down to the Kings. [b]As you'll recall, this secret knowledge was thought to have been taught to man by a race of Gods or fallen angels[/b]. This knowledge was kept secret because it was probably recognized that for all but an elect few, such thought would no doubt bring about their ruin. This brings to mind the concept of the alchemical poison. Kings and aristocrats would understand how to wield and apply the secret doctrine because it was believed that they were in fact flesh and blood descendants of the Forgotten Race which had come down to take the wives of men. References to this Forgotten Race occur repeatedly in numerous religions and mythologies throughout the world, and should most likely be known to readers of this magazine. Their doctrines have been enshrined in myth, legend, and many religious symbols, in which they are looked upon by many, and recognized by but a few. They are, and shall remain, the Royal Secret. The Cross of Lorraine is a sigil of that Royal Secret, the doctrine of the Forgotten Ones. " http://www.thevesselofgod.com/crosslorraine.html [/quote] [b]As you'll recall, this secret knowledge was thought to have been taught to man by a race of Gods or fallen angels[/b] That's interesting becaue I first became suspicious of Loraine when I met a member on GLP who post's under many names, one of which is Cross of Lorraine , which is the only one she has uses an avatar with , which is the actual cross of Loraine. I was and still am very suspicious of this member and another one who she is friends with who many of you may be familar with since he posts much more frequently than she does. Both of them talk in a very desninct way and I was able to follow COLs posts back to some older threads I was on & which I was not aware she was also on ! She uses the name Loraine a lot or Boo boo & some others. I am about 99 percent sure that she is the same person that Wingslion has talked about before , referring to her in his stories as MPW or Most Powerful Wiitch. Her name according to him , I'm not sure how to pronounce or spell, something like Queen, I forgot , she goes by Queen, Queen Hezbala ? It's alittle longer , something like that. I will talk more about her later if anyone is intrested. But I wanted to say that I have , for diffrent reasons , accused Cross of Loraine & her friend , Flaming Sword of being Nephilam on several occasions so that post above just gives me more reason to believe ,maybe they are fallen angels. I'm sure I'll be getting a visit from Flaming Sword soon now [/quote]
Original Message
I'm not saying that the city that i was born in & lived in for my whole life is the center of the universe but the more that I uncover the more I begin to wonder. Id like to start this thread by talking about all of the strange and important facts or "conincedences" that I have found pertaining to St.Louis but there are other places suppounding St.louis such as southern IL, the NW Arkansas Ozarks region , and the NW Missouri Ozarks region, I would like to say that ever since I started instigating and researching my hometown & surroundings , I have wanted to & even encouraged others to do the same with their surroundings. I believe some people if not everyome live and or born in paticular places for a reason. I think most people would be suprised to find out the history and current events of their surroundings other than being dependent on the local or national media. So I mentioned some places other than St.Louis but they are are surrounding St.louis and I would eventually like to include facts and stories about the places I mentioned earlier as well.
Not everything I mention here will make sense to everyone but hopefully if just one person begins to thinks, if indeed their is any truth involved in anything i provide , then I will be more than happy. So at the risk of being ridiculed , nothing new, I will Probobly share some pretty weird theories and connections , which may or may not be Coincedences. For the record I do not believe in Coincedence but with everything their is an exception to almost every rule and someti.
I have more than a few theories and recently things have begun to happen more and more and it also seems like things are starting to fall into place with more and more dots starting to be connected. I'm not sure when or where I'm gonna start so if your curious and want to check out the thread then I would suggest that you just bookmark this or bump it and check it every so often. I'm in the middle of other things at the moment but I hope to get something started on here tomorrow. Thanks

Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, October 1, 2011:
"Pierce has long been lauded for her kickass heroines, and in Beka she has created her most compelling, complicated character...[T]his novel provides both crackerjack storytelling and an endearingly complex protagonist."
Booklist, December 1, 2011:
"This concluding title in the Beka Cooper series is the best yet, a tasty blend of detective work, romance, magic, and treachery."

Ohio State's Angle and Penn State's Markowitz Earn Weekly Honors
March 14, 2006
Complete Release in PDF Format
Angle was 11-for-17 as the Buckeyes won four games this past weekend in Clearwater, Fla. The OSU sophomore hit .647 with seven RBI and scored nine runs and had a hit in his first five at bats against Bethune-Cookman, including a triple in the sixth. In the four games, he posted a .765 slugging percentage and a .619 on-base percentage (one walk, one HBP, one strikeout). He also had a pair of sacrifice flies and a sac bunt. He was 3-for-4 on stolen bases and tallied 15 putouts (no errors). Currently, Angle is batting .452 for the season (19-for-42).
LAST OSU PLAYER OTW: Steve Caravati (5/17/04)
Markowitz put forth the best pitching performance of the year so far for Penn State as he pitched a complete-game shutout in the Nittany Lions' 4-0 win over Lehigh. The PSU junior threw all nine innings and gave up just six hits and no runs, while equaling his career high with nine strikeouts. He did not walk one batter and also set a career best for innings pitched, surpassing his previous high of seven. Markowitz threw 81 of his 112 pitches for strikes and became the first Penn State pitcher to throw a complete-game shutout since Alan Stidfole against Northwestern last season. Lehigh had just seven base runners in the game and just two made it beyond second base.

The race gas setup for the HPF cars requires minimum 110oct. GT+ is only 104oct and won't provide as much protection as 110. It will give you some more power b/c it is oxygenated, but that is usually due to it leaning you out some. More octane (leaded gas) will keep the detonation issues down, allowing more timing, but does kill the O2 sensors. I ran 5-10 gallons of leaded through my Audi S4 all the time and just made sure to dilute it with unleaded after I was done having fun. I probably ran 100+gallons of leaded through it and NO issues with my sensors. I data-logged every 1/4 mile run and tuning session and the sensors would react slower for a few days, then they would be ok again. I know it would eventually kill them, but it is the price to pay for being able to turn up the boost and keep the timing high. Just my 2cents....

In case you didn't get your fill of crazy yesterday, here's some more Britney Spears action that will definitely deliver. The latest reports about the pop singer say that she has accused her ex-husband Kevin Federline of sleeping with her mother Lynne.
According to press, during a June blowout between Brit and her mom, the Lucky singer blurted out that she believed her mom was getting freaky with her ex-man. Apparently it was a pretty huge fight.
While Charlie Sheen makes wedding plans (again), Denise Richards is apparently not taking the news very well. The actress, who recently split from rocker Richie Sambora, is upset that her ex-husband is moving on.
An insider told press, "(Richards) wants another child - she even asked Charlie to be the father. Denise is very jealous of (Sheen's new fiancée) Brooke (Mueller) and craves the spotlight."
Tameka Foster finally broke her silence with the media regarding her canceled wedding plans to R&B superstar Usher. The wedding was suppose to take place last Saturday, but just hours before the ceremony the 100 wedding guests were informed that it had been called off.
And after carefully reviewing her recent statement to the press, it seems apparent that Tameka never truly explained what happened and appeared to intentionally leave us guessing about future wedding plans.
Usually a divorce means an end between two formerly married people. But the end doesn't seem to be in sight for Britney Spears and Kevin Federline. Sure, their divorce was finalized yesterday. But it's not over yet.
With all the unpredictable behavior coming from Britney as of late, Kevin is hitting her hard for full custody of their two sons, Jayden James 1, and Sean Preston, 2. And believe it or not, K-Fed's got a pretty good case.
The official end to Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's marriage is finally upon us, as Britney's high-power lawyer, Laura Wasser, and her estranged husband's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, started proceedings at Los Angeles County Superior Court this morning (July 30).
TMZ reports that Wasser will make a motion to keep the custody and spousal support orders secret. And while K-Fed has mentioned that he has plans of trying to get full custody of their two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, Britney is putting up the best fight she can.
Remember when Kate Moss broke up with Pete Doherty and had all of his posessions removed from her London home? Well apparently she was just blowing off some steam. But now she's heartbroken that Pete has gotten back together with his ex-girlfriend.
Doherty's reunion with ex-girlfriend Nadine Ruddy has Kate regretting her decision to break up with the Babyshambles frontman. Reportedly, Moss was planning on forgiving Pete for his indescretions, blaming drug use for his infidelity.
For all of you guys out there making "Marry Me Jessica" t-shirts, you may want to put the paint away. It seems that Miss Alba may not be done with Cash Warren.
Friends of Jessica and Cash are speaking up about the recently split couple. They say that it may have been a knee-jerk reaction by Jess when she discovered that Cash wasn't keen on marriage yet.
We all saw their fairytale wedding, and the first four years of their marriage, thanks to MTV. But since their divorce, times have been tough for Jessica Simpson in the romance department. And now she's said to be stalking her ex-husband Nick Lachey.
Nick recently celebrated his 1-year dating anniversary with girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo and bought a million-dollar apartment in New York City. Then there was the whole banging in the Mexican hot tub incident. All of this has Jess pretty jealous.
Kirsten Dunst wants a companion who appreciates her tidy ways. Unfortunately, her current beau doesn't fit the bill. As a result, it appears that Kirsten and rocker boyfriend Johnny Borrell's four month romance may be fizzling out.
Dunst's Razorlight front-man beau moved in with her not long ago, after his home in Camden, North London, underwent construction to repair a collapsed wall. Soon thereafter, Borrell's antics (such as driving his scooter through the living room) forced Dunst to send him out the door to stay with one of his old pals.
Some actresses are known for their amazing performances in their films. But according to one author, Angelina Jolie is better known for her bizarre lifestyle than for her acting talent.
