I signed a Lease in Wisconsin apartment from May 2012 to April 2013. Due to my project ramp down i moved to different state from Oct month on wards. Still i am paying rent to Wisconsin apartment from Oct 2012 to Feb 2013 still they are not re rented my apartment. I am on maternity leave (loss of pay) i am unable to pay Mar 2013 rent to Wisconsin apartment. I send an email explaining my situation.Leasing office threatening me they going to collect through agency.In next few days they need march month rent with late fees.
Although you are contractually obligated to pay the landlord has an obligation to mitigate, so if other apartments were rented, even though yours was not re-rented, that may be a basis for you to avoid liability?
Second, if you are not working, collection may be difficualt if not impossible. You might be a bankruptcy canditate, even if you do not file, and the creidtors may back off if you infer/threaten? For 2 months rent, it might not even be witrth the effort, although the collection aganecy may just make phone calls "threatening" - know your rights under federal and state law as the tables might be turned if the landlord or collection agancy doesn not know their limits.
You might end up with a "bad" on your credit, credit report, etc - you must assess the risk and then determine how to proceed - many do not pay their legal obligations.Ask a similar question
If you broke your lease in October by vacating, then the landlord has a duty to mitigate damages by using reasonable means to rerent the apartment. It does not appear that the landlord has done so. Try to explain this to them and if they are being stubborn, you can either pay or not pay and risk a court action.

Charles Earland / DG9Leaving This Planet / Left This Planet (Gone)
A heavily-played classic at David Mancuso's Loft parties, Charles Earland's "Leaving This Planet" encapsulates the visionary appropriation of the early NYC disco scene: an uptempo funky Jazz masterpiece that spoke to the precise moment of divine convergence that was NYC's underground dance community, and in so doing, secured it's place in the annals of musical and cultural immortality far beyond it's originally intended role. "Leaving This Planet" explicates both lyrically & musically, verbally and viscerally the basic platform of early club culture: a veritable antithetic to organized political action, and yet deeply political in it's own (possibly unconscious) right. A longing not just for immediate and total escape from the physical and spiritual plight of modern American urban poverty, but, in fact, an actually cohesive, organized and structured fraternity that applied a philosophy formulated from direct experience under the hardships of alienated material existence to the latter's objective stranglehold on passion, expression and cultural mobility, establishing a politics of the everyday that was practiced with tenacity and resolved, determined to abolish banal drudgery in favor of a new utopian vision: theoretical architecture constructed on top of the cold, estranging urban landscape of American inner-city plight. The early pioneers of NYC's underground have demonstrated for us continually through their example & legacy (which we should always reinvent & re-theorize for our own needs, of course) that to truly escape the hardships of this world requires an uncompromising exploitation of it's most base material simplicities, their direct reconstruction and re-appropriation, not for the continued service of the superstructures of economic and social division, but for the purposes of human need, human passion, human necessity: in service of LIFE.

Coil Packs
* 4 Bolt Style
Part #
* 1.8t Push Down Style
Part #
* Conversion to mk5/mk6 pushdown style
The use of the mk5 or mk6 pushdown coil is a new trend in the 1.8t tuning community which has shown to create a stronger spark and has allowed the use of a larger spark plug gap. This larger gap allows for a better burn and thus improved fuel economy, improved engine idle, and the ability to use more aggressive timing which will result in more power.
The mk5/6 coils will push straight into any 1.8t valve cover as is, but they will stick out the top significantly. This installation makes long term reliability questionable at best. To meet this demand a few aftermarket shops have created billet adapters to adapt the various 1.8t valve covers to fit these coils.
Long term reliability of mk5/mk6 coils in a 1.8t platform is not yet known, but as of this writing these coil packs have usurped the famed 'Hitachi Bolt Downs' as the coil to get for the 1.8t platform.
On a side note, mk5/6 coils are less expensive than Hitachi Bolt Down Coils. The caveat to this is that adapter plates are really required to make a proper seal and fit.
Mk5/6 coil packs are compatible with all 1.8t motors that utilize a 4 pin coil pack harness. The 3 pin harness in early 1.8t motors is not compatible with the mk5/6 coil packs.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Mark Teixeira finally got a hit to fall, with no questions about whether it was fair or foul.
Teixeira ended an 0-for-17 slump with a leadoff double in the seventh inning, then scored the go-ahead run for the Texas Rangers in their 3-1 victory over the Houston Astros on Friday night that snapped a season-worst five-game losing streak.
"It felt great to break out of it and get a win," said Teixeira, hitless the previous four games.
The only time Teixeira went five straight games without a hit was in April 2003, in his first five games in the major leagues.
Teixeira thought he had a bases-clearing double in the ninth inning Tuesday night in San Francisco, but it was ruled foul even though the ball appeared to land on the line and kick up chalk. After Teixeira argued and was ejected, his pinch hitter flied out and the Rangers lost.
Against the Astros and Roy Oswalt (6-4), Teixeira hit a flare that dropped between center fielder Willy Taveras and second baseman Chris Burke, who collided and were shaken up on the play. Neither left the game.
"A lot of guys get a little woe is me and Cadillac down the line. Not many people would have been on second base there," manager Buck Showalter said.
"I knew it had a chance to fall. I wanted to make sure I got to second," Teixeira said. "I didn't want to take it for granted."
Taveras was coming in and made a sliding attempt and Burke was going out when his left foot slammed into the outfielder's inner thigh and Burke tumbled hard to the ground. Both players remained down for several minutes while being tended to, but remained in the game.
Manager Phil Garner said Burke had a sore big toe and Taveras was spiked in the thigh, but that both players seemed to be OK.
Kevin Mench was intentionally walked with one out in the seventh before Ian Kinsler singled. Brad Wilkerson walked on a full-count pitch with the bases loaded, forcing home Teixeira for a 2-1 lead.
Kinsler also homered for the Rangers, just off a 1-5 road trip. Mark DeRosa and Michael Young had consecutive doubles in the eighth for another run.
Vicente Padilla (7-5), who was hit on the shoulder while throwing Thursday, allowed four hits over eight innings with five strikeouts and a walk. Akinori Otsuka worked the ninth for his 16th save in 18 chances.
"The key to Vicente is his fastball. When he is on and he is locating, he can be very tough," catcher Rod Barajas said. "Tonight, he located it, whether up or down or on both sides of the plate."
Padilla threw 79 of his 111 pitches for strikes.
"Oswalt was tough," Showalter said. "Our guy was a little tougher tonight."
Oswalt allowed three runs and nine hits in his first complete game this season, with five strikeouts and two walks, one intentional. He is 1-2 his last eight starts despite a 2.93 ERA in that span.
"We're not playing ball. That's the bottom line," Oswalt said. "If we keep playing the way we are now, we'll be out of it by August. ... We're not playing together right now. We're not having fun. Everybody is worrying about losing."
The Astros (38-42) are 1-6 on their road trip with four straight losses. The defending NL champions finally scored for the first time in three games.
Shut out its last two games during a sweep in Detroit, Houston snapped a 21-inning scoreless streak in the second inning when Lance Berkman led off with a double and scored on Preston Wilson's single. Wilson had three of the Astros' four hits.
The Rangers tied the game 1-1 in the bottom of the second when Kinsler's sixth homer barely cleared the 14-foot wall in left.
Roger Clemens won't pitch in the series and isn't with the Astros this weekend. But his wife, Debbie, was in Arlington for the second annual softball game Friday between the Astros and Rangers wives -- that game ended in a 14-14 tie.
The 43-year-old seven-time Cy Young winner attended the Rangers' season opener against the Red Sox when he was still a free agent and trying to decide whether to pitch again this season. Clemens (0-2) is scheduled to make his third start since rejoining the Astros on Monday at home against the Chicago Cubs.
- Mike Lamb flied out at the end of a 16-pitch at-bat in the sixth. That accounted for one-fifth of Padilla's 81 pitches to that point.
- Garner didn't serve his one-game suspension as scheduled Friday night. He has asked for a review of the penalty, which came after he was ejected Monday in Detroit and threw a chair onto the field.
- Texas Gov. Rick Perry sat in Rangers owner Tom Hicks' field-level box. There were a few boos when he was introduced.
- Young grounded into two double plays, increasing his season total to 18.

What the Next Secretary of Veterans Affairs Should Do
Now that Eric Shinseki has stepped down from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, local vets are weighing in on what his successor should do.
Derek Bennett is a former Army captain, and chief of staff at the New York-based Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. He said Shinseki's replacement will need to take a look at a number of issues.
"Everything from something as mundane as scheduling software, which is incredibly outdated…to looking at the actual structure of the V.A.," he said.
President Obama has appointed Sloan Gibson, the department's current deputy secretary, to step into Shinseki's role on an interim basis.
Bennett said Shinseki's permanent replacement must have certain qualifications.
"It needs to be someone who is charismatic, who's politically savvy, and who can get confirmed quickly," Bennett said, "as well as someone who gets the mandate and support from the president to actually go in and break the bureaucracy of the VA in order to reshape it."

I even tried uploading via FTP, and bared no fruit. When I uploaded my .zip file, it seems that the envato servers were unable to unzip, I also tried using different archive utilities, including WinRAR and PowerArchiver, I do not know what else could be the problem. Somebody, Please Help! Cheers.
Try compressing by OS. Right click "Compress" for Mac. Right Click > New > Compressed (zipped) Folder. for MS PC.
I am doing this way. Never got this message from Envato servers.
Cheers bro. Good luck.
Got it, Thanks man I've Uploaded peacefully, Phew! However, I'm just wondering why the review team are taking so long to process or review my upload. It's been six hours so far. What are they? Bots? Really slow human beings or just one really fast guy handling millions of uploads.


text: Crohn's DiseaseWhat is Crohn's disease?Crohn's disease occurs when there is redness and swelling (inflammation) and sores along your digestive tract. It is part of a group of diseases known as inflammatory bowel disease or IBD.Crohn's disease is a long-term, chronic illness that may come and go at different times in your life. In most cases, it affects the small intestine, most often the lower part called the ileum. In some cases it affects both the small and large intestines.Sometimes the inflammation may be along your whole digestive tract. This includes your mouth, your food pipe (esophagus), your stomach, the first part of your small intestine or duodenum, your appendix, and your anus.What causes Crohn's disease?Experts don't know what causes Crohn's disease. It may be that a virus or a bacteria affects the body's infection-fighting system (immune system). The immune system may create an abnormal inflammation reaction in the intestinal wall that does not stop.Many people with Crohn's disease have abnormal immune systems. But experts don't know if immune problems cause the disease. They also don't know if Crohn's disease may cause immune problems. Stress does not seem to cause Crohn's disease.Who is at risk for Crohn's disease?Crohn's disease may happen at any age. It most often affects people ages 15 to 35 years old. It can also happen in children or older people. It affects men and women equally.You may be more at risk for Crohn's disease if you:Have a family history of Crohn's disease. In most cases this is a close relative such as your father, mother, brother, sister, or child.Have an Eastern European background, especially Jews of European descentAre whiteLive in a developed country, in a city, or in a northern climateSmokeWhat are the symptoms of Crohn's disease?Each person's symptoms may vary. Symptoms may include:Belly or abdominal pain, often in the lower right areaDiarrhea, sometimes bloodyRectal bleedingWeight lossFeverJoint painA cut or tear in the anus (anal fissure)RashesYou may have no symptoms for a long time, even years. That is called being in remission. There is no way to know when remission may occur or when your symptoms will return.The symptoms of Crohn's disease may look like other health problems. Always see your healthcare provider to be sure.How is Crohn's disease diagnosed?You may be checked for signs of Crohn's disease if you have had long-term or chronic:Belly or abdominal painDiarrheaFeverWeight lossAnemia, a loss of healthy red blood cells that can make you feel tiredYour healthcare provider will look at your past health and give you a physical exam. Other tests for Crohn's disease may include the following:Blood tests. These are done to see if you have fewer healthy red blood cells (anemia) because of a loss of blood. These tests also check if you have a higher number of white blood cells. That might mean you have an inflammatory problem.Stool culture. This is done to see if you have any abnormal bacteria in your digestive tract that may cause diarrhea or other problems. A small sample of your stool is collected and sent to a lab. In 2 or 3 days the test will show if you have abnormal bacteria or if you have lost blood. It will also show if an infection by a parasite or bacteria is causing your symptoms.Upper endoscopy or EGD. This test looks at the inside of your food pipe or esophagus, stomach, and the top part of your small intestine, called the duodenum. This test uses a thin, lighted tube, called an endoscope. The tube has a camera at one end. The tube is put into your mouth and throat. Then it goes into your esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Your healthcare provider can see the inside of these organs. He or she can also take a small tissue sample or biopsy if needed.Colonoscopy. This test looks at the full length of your large intestine. It can help check for any abnormal growths, tissue that is red or swollen, sores, or bleeding. A long, flexible, lighted tube called a colonoscope is used. It is put into your rectum up into the colon. This tube lets your provider see the lining of your colon and take out a tissue sample or biopsy to test it. He or she may also be able to treat some problems that may be found.Biopsy. Your healthcare provider will take a tissue or cells from the lining of your colon to look at it under a microscope.Upper GI series or barium swallow. This test looks at the organs of the top part of your digestive system. It checks your esophagus, stomach, and the first part of your small intestine, called the duodenum. You will swallow a chalky fluid called barium. Barium coats the organs so that they can be seen on an X-ray. Then X-rays are taken to check your digestive organs. Lower GI series or barium enema. This test checks your large intestine, including the colon and rectum. A thick, chalky fluid called barium is put into a tube. It is inserted into your rectum as an enema. Barium coats the organs, so they can be seen on an X-ray. An X-ray of your belly will show any narrowed areas called strictures. It will also show any blockages or other problems.CT scan (CAT scan). This test uses X-ray images to create a view of the intestine. It may be done with an IV and oral contrast.MRI. This test uses a magnetic field and radiofrequency energy to create a view of the abdomen, pelvis, and intestine. It may be done with IV contrast, and in some cases, rectal contrast.How is Crohn's disease treated?Your healthcare provider will create a care plan for you based on:Your age, overall health, and past healthHow serious your case isHow well you handle certain medicines, treatments, or therapiesYou have family planning goals (such as getting pregnant)If your condition is expected to get worseWhat you would like to doThere is no cure for Crohn's disease. But there are some things that can help to control it. Treatment has 3 goals:Ease symptoms such as belly or abdominal pain, diarrhea, and rectal bleedingControl redness or swelling (inflammation)Help with getting the right nutritionTreatment may include: Medicine. Some medicines may help ease abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Medicines often reduce inflammation in the colon. If you have a more serious case, you may need medicines that affect your body's infection-fighting system (immune system). These are given as pills, injections (called biologics), or combinations of both. It is very important to discuss the pros and cons of medicine with your doctor, and not to stop the medicines without their knowledge. Sometimes stopping a medicine will limit its ability to help you again in the future.Diet. No special diet has been shown to help prevent or treat Crohn's disease. However, a special diet called an elemental diet can treat Crohn's disease in some situations. In some cases, symptoms are made worse by milk, alcohol, hot spices, or fiber.Supplements. Your healthcare provider may suggest nutritional supplements or special high-calorie liquid formulas. These may be helpful for children who are not growing fast enough.IV or intravenous feeding. In rare cases IV feeding may be used for people who need extra nutrition for a short period of time.Surgery. Surgery may help Crohn's disease, but it can't cure it. The swelling or inflammation often returns next to the area where the intestine was removed. In addition, if your colon is involved in the Crohn's disease, you will need colonoscopy at various intervals because of your increased risk of colon cancer.Surgery optionsSurgery may help to reduce long-term or chronic symptoms that don't get better with therapy. Surgery may also fix some problems such as a blocked intestine, a hole or perforation, an abscess, or bleeding.Types of surgery may include:Draining abscesses in or near fistulas. An abscess is a collection of pus or infection. Treatment includes antibiotics and injectables such as biologics, but sometimes surgery is needed.Bowel or intestinal resection. The diseased section of intestine is removed. The 2 healthy pieces of intestine are attached. This surgery shortens your intestines. Ostomy. When part of the intestine is removed, then a new way to remove stool from your body is created. The surgery to create the new opening is called an ostomy. The new opening is called a stoma. There are different types of ostomy surgery. The type of surgery that is done will depend on how much and what part of your intestines is removed. Ostomy surgery may include:Ileostomy. The colon and rectum are removed and the bottom part of your small intestine (ileum) is attached to the new opening or stoma.Colostomy. This surgery creates an opening in your belly or abdomen. A small part of the colon goes through this opening up to the surface of the skin. In some cases a short-term colostomy may be done. This is used when part of the colon has been removed and the rest of the colon needs to heal.Ileoanal reservoir surgery. This may be done instead of a permanent ileostomy. It is done in 2 surgeries. First the colon and rectum are removed and a short-term ileostomy is performed. Then the ileostomy is closed. Part of the small intestine is used to create an internal pouch to hold stool. This pouch is attached to the anus. The muscle of the rectum is left in place, so the stool in the pouch does not leak out of the anus. People who have this surgery are able to control their bowel movements.What are the complications of Crohn's disease?Crohn's disease may cause other health problems. These may include:A blocked intestineA type of tunnel, called a fistula, in nearby tissues. This can get infected.Rips or tears, called fissures, in your anusColon cancer, if your colon is involved with the Crohn's diseaseProblems with your liver functionGallstonesA lack of some nutrients, such as calories, proteins, and vitaminsToo few red blood cells or too little hemoglobin in your blood (anemia)Bone weakness, either because bones are brittle (osteoporosis) or because bones are soft (osteomalacia)A nervous system disorder where legs feel painful, called restless leg syndromeArthritisSkin problemsEye or mouth redness or swelling (inflammation) Crohn's disease can also lead to a condition called malabsorption. The intestines help to digest and absorb foods. Malabsorption occurs when food is not digested well and nutrients are not absorbed into the body. This can lead to poor growth and development. Malabsorption may occur when the digestive tract is inflamed or if short bowel syndrome occurs after surgery.Common symptoms of malabsorption include the following:Loose stool, or diarrheaLarge amounts of fat in the stool, called steatorrheaWeight loss or poor growthFluid loss or dehydrationLack of vitamins and mineralsWhat can I do to prevent Crohn's disease?Experts don't know what causes Crohn's disease or how it can be prevented.Living with Crohn's diseaseIt's important for you to work with your healthcare provider to manage your disease. Follow all instructions about medicines, diet, and lifestyle changes.When should I call my healthcare provider?Call your healthcare provider if your symptoms get worse or you have new symptoms.Key points Crohn's disease is when there is redness and swelling (inflammation) and sores or ulcers along your digestive tract.It is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).In most cases it affects the small intestine. But it may affect your whole digestive tract.It is a long-term, chronic condition.There is no cure. Making some diet changes may help ease symptoms.Most people with Crohn's disease need to stay on long-term medication to limit the development of other medical problems in the future. Surgery may be needed.Next stepsTips to help you get the most from a visit to your healthcare provider:Before your visit, write down questions you want answered.Bring someone with you to help you ask questions and remember what your provider tells you.At the visit, write down the names of new medicines, treatments, or tests, and any new instructions your provider gives you.If you have a follow-up appointment, write down the date, time, and purpose for that visit.Know how you can contact your provider if you have questions.

The Sunday Telegraph reported that BMI British Midland and Virgin Atlantic Airways were expected to follow suit and send letters within the week.
The dispute covers the CAA's plan to allow BAA to recover for the first time the full cost of the charges it makes to airlines, rather than cross-subsidise from airport-shop income.
BAA said in April that it would spend £8.1bn on its airports over the next 11 years, which the CAA could then calculate how much charges the airlines would pay. BA, however, said yesterday that its analysis of the figures showed the company would really spend just less than £7bn.

One other thing to remember is that our on-demand movies play straight through, with no chapter divisions for skipping to specific songs or menu's for navigation, so please be aware of that.
It's important to test your device before you make your rental purchase through Vimeo, as we don't have the ability to refund purchases made to Vimeo if your device is unsupported or if you have a poor quality internet connection to your school or home. Heidi discovered this when she tried to use the videos on her school computer, only to realize the Window's Internet Explorer browser was outdated, and she had to call the district for an update. An easy test is to verify that the movie "trailer" plays well on your device or computer, if it does, you should not have a problem with purchasing a movie.

New Issue of Experiment-O 'Swims Against the Mainstream'
Experiment–O, an annual online PDF magazine from Angel House Press, "celebrates the art of risk through poetry, prose, visual art & visual poetry." The most recent issue features work from Rosaire Appel, Kemeny Babineau, bill dimichele, Judy Dougherty, j/j hastain, Shawna Lemay, gustave morin, Michèle Provost, Janice Tokar and Nico Vassilakis.
How did Angel House Press get its name? The answer is on their website:
The Angel In The House is a Victorian concept and poem about a very weak and mindless woman whose sole responsibility was to be charming. Perhaps you can see the irony.
We do.
Experimento-O is full of intriguing work, but we're especially taken with Judy Dougherty's dollhouse book sculptures on page thirteen. You can peruse the entire PDF, as well as back issues, on the Experiment-O website.

Former Juventus star Alessandro Del Piero says he has no fear of the expectations attached to his arrival in Australian and the hope his star power will revitalize the A-League.
Del Piero calmly answered questions in English and Italian in his first Australian news conference on Monday, saying he welcomes the pressure that will go with being the A-League's biggest name.
He told reporters "I know there will be a lot of expectation and I love that. I played 19 years with Juventus and in Juventus you have to win every game, every year."
The 37-year-old Del Piero has joined Sydney FC for a reported $2 million a year as the biggest signing in the history of the 10-team A-League.
He passed up offers from Southampton, among other clubs, to play in Australia and said he hoped to make a difference to Sydney FC and to the A-League.
"It was (an easy decision) because the project here is interesting," Del Piero said. "I said 'yes,' but I choose the best place I can choose for this moment and I think this now, and I'm sure I will think this at the end of the season.
"Sometimes I decide with my feelings, but this decision was not only with my feelings, it was with the head and with the feeling, and I'm sure that's OK."
Del Piero said he was determined to contribute to Sydney FC.
"All my life I play for winning. I'm here for winning ... I'm here because I trust in the win," he said.
"First of all I am here for Sydney FC. Competing for Sydney FC. Then we hope, about the A-League growing up day by day ... and this is hard work."
Del Piero said he was aware that Australia's football culture has been based on post-war immigration from Europe.
"In everybody there is soccer blood and we hope to wake up that," he said.
Del Piero, a member of Italy's 2006 World Cup-winning team and who scored a club-record 286 goals for Juventus, is expected to help bring greater exposure -and spectators - to the struggling A-League, which has suffered from declining crowds and the folding of two teams in the past two seasons.
His impact was immediate and hundreds of fans turned out at Sydney Airport on Sunday, some waiting for hours, to welcome him on his arrival.
Del Piero's decision to play in Australia is being compared with David Beckham's impact on the game in the United States when he signed with the Los Angeles Galaxy.
Sydney chief executive Tony Pignata, who traveled to Turin nearly two weeks ago to get Del Piero's signature on the contract, said he was pleased with the response of fans - more than 2,000 club memberships have been sold since Del Piero's contract was signed.
Pignata also said 15,000 Sydney FC jerseys with Del Piero's No. 10 and name on the back had been manufactured and were selling fast, with orders from around the world.
Tickets for Sydney's first home match at the 45,000-seat Sydney Football Stadium on Oct. 13 have not yet gone on sale. A Sydney official said although the match was unlikely to be a sellout - "that's a big call" - it could be the team's biggest first-match crowd in its history.
Del Piero is due to train with his Sydney teammates for the first time on Tuesday and his first official public appearance in Sydney is expected next Sunday - Sept. 23 - when the players will be handed their jerseys for the upcoming season.
His first game for Sydney could be against Newcastle next Saturday, a preseason match scheduled to be played in the Central Coast town of Budgewoi north of Sydney. However, if Del Piero plays, it is expected to be moved to a larger stadium at nearby Gosford.
Sydney plays its first-round match of the new A-League season at Wellington, New Zealand on Oct. 6.
Average attendance in the A-League dropped from a high of 14,600 in 2007-08 to as low as 8,400 in 2010-11, although it increased to 10,500 last season.
North Queensland Fury folded in 2010 and Gold Coast United in 2011, but the league will return to 10 teams with the addition of the Western Sydney Wanderers this season.
Regardless of what he does on the field on his aging legs, the deal has made Del Piero the highest paid athlete in Australia's four football codes, which also includes rugby league, rugby union and Australian Rules.
The A-League's other past marquee signings, who are outside the team's salary cap, have been former Manchester United star Dwight Yorke, who also played for Sydney in 2005-06, and former Liverpool forward Robbie Fowler, who played with the now-defunct North Queensland team then Perth Glory from 2009-11.

99% done now.
Fired up today and let it warm up. All fluids are good,charging system works,tach works,gauges work,65psi oil pressure idling,electric fan works and even the powersteering pump is quiet{thats a shocker for a Ford}.
Motor starts right up but has a slight miss to it which Im thinking is from a dead plug from all the dam fuel I was pumping thru it while firguring out the computer issues. Roller rockers might need a once over if fresh oil doesnt quiet them down a hair more. Or it could be from not having the O² sensors plugged in and Im using a 5.0 t-bird ecm right now which is calibrated for 14lb injectors instead of the 19lb injectors Im using with the Mustang ecm.Basicly is pig rich.
I cut up the factory 2.9 y-pipe and Brad over at Mytee made me some pipes to weld to it.Not pretty but worked perfect,nice and quiet.
STill need to clean up and loom a few wires over on drivers side,I was excited to just hear it run for a while.
|January 17th, 2011, 09:46 AM
Brian R.
Got the rear shaft done lastnite and found my miss. I had two plug wires backwards.Purs like a kitten now. Its nice and quiet and man does it rev NOW!
Just finishing up stuff like vent hoses for trans/t-case,making adjustments to shifter,cleaning up interior,oil change and then its time to take it out for its first road miles!

Holy four wheel roostertails!!!! Its a beast!!!
Took it out in the backyard and the power is sick in 4wd. My backyard has about 4-5 inches of untouched snow and this thing was drifting sideways just layin into it. Then took it around the block for some stop and go driving and put about 5 miles on it. Still rides just like it use to which I love. No crazy vibrations or anything weird.I still have the 3.73 gears and even with the 35's it will roll the F out! Got me rethinking the 4.56's.
So far I had to fix one leaky oil line and engine temp is bouncing between 190 and 240º.Im thinking I need to move my rad cap to a higher spot to get all the air out. It goes into 4HI no problem but the dash button flashes when I try 4LOW and wont engage.Most likely its looking for the VSS signal since Im not using it{ Speed density and the C4 dont require it} I will have to go into the 4wd module and trick it somehow. Sounds like passenger side header collector didnt seal up all the way cuz I have a small leak when you lay into it. Also the C4 shifts a little late and hard for my taste so I need to adjust the modulator to calm that down a touch. Cruising around 45-50 mph is just under 2000 rpm in 3rd gear...perfect.
I guess this wraps up this project for now...time to put some miles on it and enjoy!
|January 22nd, 2011, 07:22 PM
Brian R.
Well I have been driving it everyday so far. Even drove it to work on Friday which is 40 miles one way from Temperance to Saline. About 150 miles of trouble free driving so far......except for one problem. I drove it to work and back on friday which was 80 miles and when I got home I parked it in driveway,as I walked to my back door I heard "pop and gush" sound. As I turned back I seen antifreeze pouring out under truck. Well it turns out I never put a dam hose clamp on one of the heater hoses! Talk about getting lucky!
I am also tired of the welded rear axle and junk rear drum brakes so starting tomorrow Im rebuilding my disc brake 8.8 and throwing in my Lock-Rite. Im also removing the front fender liners and cutting up the wheel openings more for more tire clearance .
|January 29th, 2011, 12:23 AM
Brian R.
I have been off work all week so I have been messing with truck everyday.
I finally got the correct ecm in it and wow what a difference.Starts much easier and I can feel the power difference. Using a 1990 Lincoln LSC ecm now.I also fixed my rich and high idle by resetting my TPS from 1.09v down to .94v
I also figured out the wiring to get my t-case to go into 4low.
I trimmed the fenders and started a rattle-can-resto on it also.
I got the Explorer 8.8 almost all stripped down now. Tomorrow I will be torching off all the brackets and perches so I can weld new ones on in the new locations. Im also welding the tubes to the center and Im building a truss to tie both tubes and center together for more strength.

i welded my 14bolt in the back of my jeep and i hated it driving around town, every corner i turned it would squeel those big 44s, it was annoying so i broke down and bought a detroit locker one of the best upgrades i made,
|May 27th, 2011, 01:12 PM

Well the welded 7.5 finally gave up. Diff split pulling into work the other day.
Putting my 4.56 gears in my 8.8 ask I type and waiting for a box of Ballistic goodies to show up next.

I'm suppossed to pick one of these up this weekend. The plan is to use a 3.8l Supercoupe motor, front dana 44, and rear 8.8".
Nice daily driver. If you want a set of aluminum heads for it let me know, a buddy has a set for cheap.
|May 30th, 2011, 02:45 PM
Brian R.
No more engine mods for this one. A better set of heads would give my ECM fits since its speed density. The 240-250ish HP mine makes is more than plenty for this truck.
Almost have the Ex 8.8 finished now. 4.56 gears and a Lockrite. Now I need to decide if Im going to just throw some 4.56 in the stock d35 or start putting in my EB D44 that already has 4.56 gears in it and do my King coilover swap.
|October 8th, 2011, 04:48 AM
Brian R.
Thanks man! Truck has been a blast all summer.I just stopped using it daily due to some recent body mods from a couple trips to BundyHill and Rocks&Valleys.
Oh yeah...the 8.8 swap turned out great also...
ON the hunt for a clean Ranger cab now so I can do a body swap and turn this into a mini truggy.
|November 3rd, 2011, 02:16 PM

Back in service for daily duty if I want now!
Took the truck out to Sew Your Boat in Toledo a few days ago and they turned these out for me. Really nice people to deal with there and couldnt be happier with what I got for the price! Now I can feel my heat again!
|November 4th, 2011, 04:05 PM
bitter clinger
Liking the new canvas. B2 looks a little more banged up than the last time I saw it. Got to get together out at the airport before it gets too cold (I have no heat yet)
|December 5th, 2011, 01:39 PM

Well due to another driver my truck got hit on Friday and is pretty much finished off in its current state. Pics dont show how bad it really is but my core support and inner fender structure is crushed,chassis harness got damaged,broke my winch,obviously the lights,fender and hood are waisted along with the passenger door and rear hatch wont open now. Looks like whole side was pushed back. I bent the bumper back to get it off the tire but front end is way outa wack too.
Its just not worth tryin to fix at this point so I will be cuttin this body off and the guy that hit me is buyin me a Ranger cab so I can start my truggy build.
Anybody wanna buy some sweet new side window covers?? lol

Careers for Scientists in the Patenting World
With interest not just in science but also in its applications, Jing Fung Tan chose to study chemical engineering for a bachelor's degree at the University of Melbourne in Australia. After that, as a Ph.D. student at the same university, he introduced a commercial slant to his research designing star-shaped polymers for use in paint coatings and drug-delivery systems. The stringent conditions necessary to produce the star polymers made commercializing them difficult, so he developed an easier-to-scale-up approach for industry. The work led to a provisional patent application, which he helped draft. That experience helped him secure a patent attorney traineeship, at Griffith Hack in Melbourne, immediately after finishing his Ph.D. in 2009.

You might not have a wife, but if you did, I doubt you'd honor your marriage vows when faced with one of Naughty America's most convincing seductresses. I Have a Wife is a Naughty America site built around infidelity scenarios that have some sap protesting a come-on from a true vixen only to give in when she drops her hand inside his trunks and whispers something filthy in his ear. Soon enough, they're rolling around on the floor completely without clothing as his wife pulls into the driveway. I hope you'll enjoy I Have a Wife, just not so much that that same situation happens to you (and you alone).
My Friend's Hot Mom is a fucking knockout! He rushed out for something. I stuck around on the sofa. His mom came home and - BOOM - she jumped me. I pounded her. We cleaned up (and it was quite a mess) just in time for my buddy to come home and find us sitting in the kitchen innocently chatting over a coffee. (I provided the cream, natch!) It was a fantasy come true if ever there was one and it has all been documented in glorious High Definition at Naughty America site My Friend's Hot Mom, where friendship is only a means to land the most experienced pussy you'll ever have.
With his own three-room townhouse in one of the world's most enticing party towns, Amsterdam, Mike is a guy who we all surely envy. On his very own website, Mike's Apartment, one of the longest running and most popular of all Reality Kings websites, you'll find yourself gawking in disbelief as this lucky bastard convinces sexy young traveling girls that sucking and fucking their way to free accommodation is no big deal, not even with a camera capturing it all in High Definition for his devoted legion of faithful followers. Wanna see how the mack daddy of the Venice of the North rolls? Check out Mike's Apartment and prepare to seethe with jealousy like the rest of us.
Anal sex is often reserved for those pornstars who've already earned their stripes and reputations with fantastic oral and vaginal scenes. Here at Anal Teen Angels, though, the girls getting rear-ended are fresh-faced sluts who have apparently decided not to pussyfoot around and have headed straight for the A train. In true 21Sextury style, Anal Teen Angels is a wild and aggressive hardcore journey, but not one without its cutesy charms.
Work sucks… most of the time. If you're in a thoroughly unisex workplace with a lax dress code, it can be a pretty titillating place to be. Porn's bustiest babes have seemingly been employed at the same company as a bunch of stiff-dicked dudes with little in the way of professionalism. But hey, that makes for supreme adult entertainment as only Brazzers can deliver. Big Tits at Work sees many a stunning pornstar babe strut her stuff across the boardroom only to pass over an executive in favor of that handsome new intern. Risque enough to get your fired, Big Tits at Work is absolutely, positively, completely NSFW.
You might be wondering why a site focusing on opaque and not sheer stockings, leggings, and various other hosiery would interest you, a guy more likely to enjoy a hefty money shot than some tepid literotica. You might be wondering why the women wearing said hosiery are keeping their smooth, slender legs largely covered up. And you'll definitely be wondering if Only Opaques, the site in question, is worthy of twenty-five of your hard-earned dollars. Well, if you ever find yourself getting bored with hardcore, seeing all-nude naturalist erotica as pure fantasy, and praying for a softcore site unlike any other, a site that dares to not bare and instead uses the allure of stockings, lingerie, and a flirtatious smile to charm your gosh darn pants off, Only Opaques will be there to keep you guessing in a surprisingly sexy way.
Bang Bros is one of the net's largest porn networks with 43 sites currently online. Of these sites, most people seem to focus on the more outrageous and irreverent ones, letting the quiet achievers pass by largely undetected. Facial Fest is one such quiet guy, but don't for a second think this 200-plus-scene POV site is anything less than brilliant. With an endless parade of new chicks lining up to receive a nice creamy pasting, each one shown in crystal clear HD that really makes it feel like you're on the giving end of the titular blastings, and consistent weekly updates to an already very impressive catalogue, Facial Fest is a guaranteed good time, even at a slightly slower pace than, say, the Bang Bus.
Seeing a soon-to-be superstar of porn in her very first scene is a thrill few porno fans take for granted. The appeal of an on-screen virgin getting schtupped for the first time never seems to tire, even on a site devoted entirely to that very premise. First Time Auditions captures eager young sluts giving their all before a director and crew in their first on-screen performance. Rendered in HD video formats and featuring some of porn's stars of tomorrow, First Time Auditions offers a thoroughly enjoyable glimpse into the nerves, the anticipation, the sweat, the semen, and the excitement of a momentous occasion, and it does it every damn week!

Pole dancers want to be part of the 2016 Olympics
The Olympics have a long list of abandoned events that sound like they could never belong next to staples such as track and field and synchronized swimming.
That has given a lot of leagues and federations of more obscure sports or activities the inspiration to lobby for a spot in the next Olympiad. The International Pole Sports Federation is no exception, according to the Huffington Post.
The leading global authority on pole dancing has turned what was once just a skill passed on by strippers to seduce men from their money into a fitness movement. It is now an aerobic and strength-training exercise practiced by women (and even men) around the world.
Now the IPSF feels it is worthy enough to award Olympic medals for the best pole dancers in the world. They even tried to pitch the idea by holding the World Pole Sport Championship in London more than a week before the start of the Summer Olympics. IPSF Executive Vice President Timothy Trautman said getting the sport in the Olympics is the only way to prove that "pole dancers are incredible athletes."
Of course, the average American male doesn't need the Olympics to prove them.

More Olympics Coverage from the Yardbarker Network
I like a good pole dance just as much as the next guy but in the Olympics? I think we have disgraced the Olympics by allowing professionals to compete and now pole dancing? Do we tip?
Let's see, Baseball is out,pole dancing is in. Scheduled for the 2020 games: Speed Shoe Tieing. Can't wait!!!
Cheer leading, Ballroom Dancing, Bowling, Knot Tying, and Karma Sutra style competitive breeding ALL should be Olympic Sports. The TV networks could try it out and see how many watch.
The Olympics is all about how much money is made so if it is popular, it could get in. Why not pole dancing? Or Fishing? Alligator wrestling. Big truck mud bogging. AND drinking and eating contests?
ALL would attract an audience. Maybe even bigger than curling!
Yes I agree, But do not include Presidential Debates.
Well where as I'm not for it I would gladly have pole dancing verses running around a mat waiving a ribbon and calling it a sport!
Google BEST Pole Dance Ever by Jenyne Butterfly 2011 and watch her. You will not be able to say she is not an Olympic class athlete.
The first time I saw Jenyne Butterfly made a believer out of me, once you see her you will know what an Olympic class athlete looks like on a pole.
Hey Im all for the Pole Dancine compition
but in the original Olympic tradition
they compete NUDE
What's next after that, Olympic lap dancing, Olympic blow jobs?
Slick Willy; would win plus he would get extra credit for ruining his partners clothing. But
the Olympic Commitie might make a lot of money by selling official knee pads.
Pole Dancing? And they dropped a legitimate sport "Soft Ball" What's next Olympic Pimps? Or perhaps Olympic Porn Championship. Get Real.
Sure - and theyll probably get rid of a legit sport like Rhythmic Gymnastics
Pole Dancing? What is next, pimping? Well why not they have already banished "Soft Ball" Now perhaps they will have a Porn Event, Tell you what; a good sport to go along with pole dancing would be Pocket Pool, the people that sit in bars and watch pole dancers are good at that. GET REAL.
I am completely shocked at the ignorance of the comments I'm reading and the clear bias of the "article" itself. While I have no problems with lap dancing,stripping and many of the other references here, there is a pretty big difference between lap dancing, stripping and pole dancing. I lift my own body weight into the air at a slow controlled speed, bruise up my arms and legs so that I won't crack my head open on the ground, and spin on a spinner pole that would make the average person puke their guts out-- and I'm not even one of the professional pole dancers. Go to a class and take note of how your muscles feel the next day. What pole dancers do is absolutely on par with any gymast but we also have to endure the ignorant comments about how our sport is not legitimate.
I dare anyone to try it and then comment about how it's not a sport.
Right on Carlene!
Oh, it's a sport alright. I'm sporting something just thinking about it...

Sprint Booster Review - 2004 330ci Auto
Hey everyone,
I received the sprint booster from Turner and installed it once I got home. Installation is very simple but it can be tedious if your gas pedal assembly won't budge. In that case just apply more pressure onto the white tab using a flathead and it'll slide right off.
Anyway, the results from this little gadget are pretty impressive. I know a lot of fellow fanatics insist that one should simply floor the pedal to yield the same effect but the sprint booster holds more value than that.
The switch comes with three selections, as most of you know; factory (off) setting, sport (green) setting, and race (red) setting. Sport setting is decent and noticeably increases response. Yes, I will say that the car should have come factory like this. Race setting is where I could not stop grinning everytime I accelerated. Since it is midnight here in Cali I was able to really test out this setting from full stops, slow rolls, cruising speeds, and highway speeds. "Awesome" would be an understatement. It is not hard to control the sensitive throttle as some would think; I kept smooth acceleration from rest with ease so MPG shouldn't be much of an issue.
The sprint booster has the ability to save its last setting after disconnecting the toggle switch. I left mine on race setting after the first 30 min test drive.
In the end, I feel that the sprint booster is a great modification for these cars and everyone who is interested should give it a shot when the opportunity arises. I'm 100% satisfied with my purchase.

Hi guys,
I am looking for a new camera.
I don't know a great deal about photography and will likely never use all of the many wonderful features.
MP doesn't matter too much to me, but, as I can't see me buying a DSRL and bits, this camera will need to cover all my needs.
The camera is being bought as I am about to do a bit of sight seeing around the states and would like some good memories, for when I come back bankrupt. The main advantage I see in the Nikon is it's size compared with the rest and I think features wise, it looks like a good camera, however, I am drawn more towards the other two, namely for zoom and frames per sec.
I will rarely, if ever, use RAW mode, so RAW performance need not be an issue either
Any opinions are most welcome
Panasonic Lumix Dmc-fz100, Sony Dschx100v, Or Nikon Coolpix P7000

I tend to agree with anandkumar. The bigger zooms on the Panasonic & Sony will come in handy with travel photography. I'd probably go for the Sony, although it is more expensive. That aside, I'd say it gives the best fairweather image quality of any bridge camera. Enjoy your trip.

Ok, I'm finally back! Just had a slight reorganization of my list but I think everything is good....for now at least. Now on to my next character:
17. Mithos Yggdrasill (Tales of Symphonia)
** Sorry, but there's a decent amount of spoilers below. Just be careful if you're planning on playing the game. **
If you've been paying attention, you might have realized that I actually haven't mentioned all that many Tales of Symphonia characters, despite it being my favorite RPG. Truthfully, a lot of characters didn't make the cut; there was just too much competition. However, I will say that those I have included are quite high on this list. This one was tough to place because Yggdrasill does so much for the story and has some incredible revelations. Yet, at the end of it all, his motivations are kinda... lame. However, as the villain of one of my favorite games of all time, as well as one of the most mysterious, he still makes my list.
Yggdrasill is a character full of surprises. First of all, you don't even meet him for quite awhile, and when you do, he just seems like your usual villain. Trying to take over the world, incredibly arrogant, super powerful, blah blah blah. But as you begin to learn more about the world and what is actually going on, you inevitably learn more about Yggdrasill and his role in all of it. However, it's incredibly clever how it's done. The fact is, you're constantly learning about him, without even knowing it; **SPOILERS!! as you continue your journey, and even through the many plot twists and turns, your party begins to learn about this mysterious character of "Mithos", known only as a legendary hero. I could go into the lore, but suffice it to say, Mithos was known as a great warrior and helped bring peace between two warring nations many ages ago. This doesn't seem to have any immediate effect on your journey though; you learn that he went through the same steps as you, but little else. And then out of nowhere, you meet a child who calls himself Mithos.
STILL SPOILERS Now things start to get interesting. This kid just seems like yet another puzzle to solve since he just is so random. He quickly becomes friends with your party though and you continue on as though nothing has happened. And then the twists start happening. Mithos sprouts wings, revealing his identity as an angel. He changes forms into Yggdrasil, confirming him as the true antagonist. Then you learn that he is also the great Legendary hero, Mithos. They are all the same. Not only were all these twists mind numbing in and of itself, you realize all these characters you thought you knew are much deeper...since well they're all the same. How could this child also be this evil guy that at least appears to be trying to take over the world? Heck how could either of them be this hero if legend from thousands of years ago? You suddenly see all these layers to this character, and may even question if he's all that bad. END SPOILERS**All in all, Mithos Yggdrasill is easily one of the deepest characters you'll find out there, with more secrets and twists than you may even want.
However, I did note at the beginning, that his end motivations lower him on the list. Unfortunately, when everything's all said and done at the end of the game, Mithos has an awkward ending to say the least and his final response is a tad disappointing for such a deep and layered character. It's not jarring or anything which is why he still is this high on the list, but suffice it to say, his development as a character is leagues better than his ending.
Hope you enjoyed this return to my epic countdown. Hopefully, I'll be able to have my next one up sooner rather than later.

Insulation in basement floor joists and integrated garage
I have a 60 year old cape code style house. The basement is divided (half basement and half garage). It is seperated by a insulated wall. The basement is kept around 65 degrees because our laundry/ HWH/ and Furnace is there. The garage portion is kept much cooler but warm enough to prevent pipes from freezing.
None of this area is insulated. The basement walls are concrete block. There is no insulation in the rim joists or between floor joists for that matter. With temps below freezing I can tell that the floor is colder above the garage than it is above the basement. I know I'm losing a lot of heat and I need to do something. I know the rim joists are the highest priorty. I was planning on caulking and stuffing with R-30 fiberglass insulation but I've heard from some people that maybe I should use close cell foam. The floor joists are 8" on 16" inch centers and I also planned on putting bat insulation there as well. Especially in the garage area. Things are a bit complicated due to electrical lines, plumbing, and HVAC ducts that run though and between the joists. The garage portion alone is probably only 350 ft'. I planned to put rolled faced insulation but I've also seen the fully enclosed rolled insulation and wondered if it might be better. Since it will be necessary to make numerous cuts to account for electrical and plumbing lines I'm thinking the faced paper might be more appropriate.
I don't believe the energy savings would be recouped by installing the joist insulation but will it help keep the floors above the garage warmer?
What should I do?
Spray foam would sure be more efficient and more effective than batts of insulation, especially around all the plumbing and electrical lines. You can get DIY foam from TigerFoam and probably some other manufacturers, or pay to have it done.
Batt insulation certainly isn't ineffective though. If you use fiberglass batts just remember that you don't benefit from cramming insulation into the spaces. It must retain its loft to be effective.
One thing to remember with faced insulation: The paper face cannot be left exposed to the inside of the residence. It must be covered by an ignition barrier such as drywall or plywood. Foam insulation products differ, but most require ignition barriers as well.
I agree, sealin' up, 'n insulatin' the garage ceiling will make the floors above warmer...

Fiat has taken the wraps off the electric version of the Fiat 500, the 2013 Fiat 500e. On the outside the Fiat 500e looks almost identical to the standard 500, but under the hood it's powered by an 111 horsepower electric motor and 24 kWh lithium-ion battery. Fiat has dubbed the electric drive system, "e-Drive", which is showcased by a studded, logo-adorned engine cover.
The Fiat 500e will be able to travel around 80 miles between charges and delivers an estimated 116 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) city and 100 MPGe highway. Fiat wants to emphasize how "sporty" the 500e is and points out the fact that the electric car doesn't feature a performance reducing Eco button. The the Fiat 500e also incorporates a "creep" feature, which launches the car smoothly and assuredly as soon as its brake pedal is released, just like a vehicle powered by an idling engine.
How long will it take to recharge? Fiat estimates that it will take less than 4 hours to fully recharge the 500e using a 240 volt outlet, but up to 24 hours on a 120 volt outlet.
If you love the looks of the standard 500, you'll be happy that not much has changed on the 500e. The 500e's exterior features subtle tweaks that are meant to make it more aerodynamic. Designers developed wind-tunnel-sculpted front and rear fascias, exterior mirror caps, side sills, and introduced a liftgate mounted aero spoiler extending the vehicle's roofline.
Fiat hasn't announced the pricing for the 2013 500e, but it's expected to arrive by this summer.

Pressure is mounting on the government to release a devastating report on how spending on weapons systems is spiralling out of control.
The MoD is engaged in a heated debate with 10 Downing Street over how and when to publish the former ministerial adviser's report due to have been disclosed to MPs last month.
Ministers claim the report, by Bernard Gray, is still a draft. However, there is widespread suspicion that Gordon Brown and his advisers have decided to suppress it because it shows how spending on large equipment projects has soared since Labour came to power.
The report is believed to say that £2.5bn is wasted every year on equipment projects. Kevan Jones, a defence minister, said last week that he did not recognise the figure, though the National Audit Office has repeatedly criticised the MoD for such overspending.
Those familiar with the report says it shows that planned expenditure on military equipment over the next 30 years stands at £235bn, an increase of £95bn in four years. Quentin Davies, the defence procurement minister, has suggested the cost overruns were largely due to projects commissioned by the last Tory government.
Gray is understood to suggest that the MoD and military chiefs have indulged in a "conspiracy of optimism", ordering more and more equipment hoping all will be all right in the end. The armed services are said to try for as much equipment as they can get, with no one challenging their demands or cost estimates. Officials, meanwhile, prefer to delay programmes rather than cancel them.
The government wants the Gray report to be subsumed into the green paper on defence policy being published next year.
Liam Fox, the shadow defence secretary, said: "Our understanding is, No 10 tried to suppress Gray's report because it shows a huge black hole in the defence budget. The government must publish the scale of their disaster now so the public can judge them on their record."
An MoD spokesman said the review was commissioned to "ensure we are buying equipment as efficiently as possible".

Detailed Description:
There has recently been an increasing interest in the potential of flavonoids, plant derived compounds found in foods such as fruit and vegetables, to ameliorate age-related cognitive decline. Research suggests that flavonoids improve memory and learning, possibly as a result of their anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects for example by increasing cerebral blood flow, protecting vulnerable neurons, enhancing existing neuronal function or by stimulating neuronal function. The research will initially involve a randomised cross-over human dietary intervention trial using two flavonoid-rich drinks (flavanone-rich and flavanone-poor) to investigate changes in cerebral blood flow in young adults (n=6; age range 18-30 years). Changes in cognitive performance and measures of serum BDNF levels will then be investigated in a second randomised cross-over trial using the intervention drink showing the greatest effect on cerebral blood flow in young adults (n=24; age range 18-30 years) and using a range of sensitive tests of executive function. The study is designed to measure acute effects of types of flavonoid supplementation and, as well as the primary cognitive outcome, will assess flavonoid/metabolite and BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) levels in blood and changes in vascular reactivity.

My daughter will start a Prechool class this Fall and although she has been around lots of kids and gotten some colds, the school tells you to expect the children to get sick more. This is her first time being on her own. Is there any type of suplementing or foods that I can give to try and make sure she doesnt get sick. I don't want to miss out on lots of school days!! Thanks
Cold viruses mutate here and there, in this person's body and that one, until one comes out different enough from the original virus that the antibodies people developed for the old one no longer work toward it. With nearly 7 billion people on the planet, and people traveling so readily from region to region, we have a wide variety of colds and other similar viruses available to catch. I rather think that when we've battled quite a few, we have a little partial resistance to many new versions and don't get ill as often. Interestingly, people who get almost no colds or allergies tend to get more cancers.
Anyway, that's our world. Children will catch many things that give them runny noses, coughs, and other symptoms, once given enough exposure to other children, even when they're eating and living healthy. Both the initiation of weaning and the final weaning can spark some vulnerability. The healthier ones do tend to just have the runny noses over and over without many other symptoms, though they can get knocked down occasionally too. Parents often find, after their children start school, that they have a little catching-up to do on viruses themselves.
Your daughter has already had some initiation and, with your great support, she'll do fine. I know you don't want her missing school days. For some children, much of the missing is more in terms of trying not to expose other children, though frankly, that's a rather lost cause in preschools. This is why the school says what they said to you. They want you to be forewarned. If things go better than that, you can only be happy, and if your daughter does get ill frequently at first, you'll be prepared. Find out what their policy is on sending children to school with various symptoms. Then, if your daughter fits their criteria, has no fever, and her energy seems fine, send her on to school even with that little 3rd day runny nose or that few days-old cough (because they can often run and cough for weeks at a time).
All that said, yes, we can all use some immune support. Often in preschoolers the challenge is in finding what the child will actually swallow or eat. All the fruits, vegetables, beans, and nuts will have immune-providing qualities. The DHA and EPA from livers and fish are valuable too, or there are gummy vegan-sourced supplements with these. Remember the sun exposure and vitamin D supplements, cod liver oil, fatty fish, eggs, liver and skin consumption, or D-fortified foods. Vitamin C is always a winner, and with bioflavonoids or hesperidin, it's even better. Don't forget the probiotics. These can limit respiratory infections as well as intestinal.
After covering the basics mentioned, there are many great immune-supporting supplements. You certainly don't need to use these all, but I'll mention some of my favorites. There's such a wide difference in products that are available in different regions, and in what various children and at various ages will and won't accept, food allergies, vegan concerns, and more, that I'm just going to mention my favorite basics and let you select what products seem to fit the bill for your daughter.
Goldenseal is a great general infection-fighter. Among the anti-microbial anti-oxidants, grapefruit seed extract, grapeseed extract, and curcumin are some of the best. Alternate between a couple of those or something similar. Mushrooms have powerful anti-microbial properties. You might find a nice mushroom formula. If you have a really hard time getting any version of any of these into your daughter, try rubbing neem oil into her arms, legs and tummy. You can also drop astragalus root into soups, marinara, and other sauces. There's one immune enhancer that few kids will turn down: honey. During an illness, I use a high UMF-rated Manuka honey. It's powerful stuff. Stir it with lemon juice to use as sore throat soother or just give by the teaspoonful for general protection. I use a less expensive honey for daily purposes. I know your daughter is older but I just want to include that honey is not recommended for children under 12 months http://www.thebabybond.com/HoneyForBabiesSafeOrNot.html but don't let that frighten you for an older child. Drop a decaffeinated green tea bag and a teaspoon of honey into a 16 oz water bottle and soon you have a yummy, healthy tea for your daughter to drink throughout the day.
Echinacea is great stuff but is better used as a cold/sore throat supporter than for daily use.
Breastmilk helps reduce the number of respiratory and intestinal infections, and the level of illness, but of course one can't nurse forever.
