Urethane parts are made of reaction injection molded polyurethane, a material that is lightweight, flexible and resistant to rough weather conditions and everyday road hazards. Because of its flexibility and light weight, parts made out of urethane are usually easier to install. There are several companies for manufacture car body kits using high quality urethane, all are very 'reputable' in brand name.

Fiberglass is a material well-known for its resistance and rigidity. It is crucial to choose the highest quality fiberglass for your body kit. many companies create bad quality parts containing wavy patterns on the fiberglass and unsatisfactory fit. Fiberglass components that are hand laid have no waves and are not brittle or weak. When a part is hand laid, the part will be uniform and will have an even amount of fiberglass throughout the component. Hand laid fiberglass takes the longest, and costs the most but is worth it. There are a number of companies who make reasonable body kits using high quality fiberglass. However to this day, I don't know of any companies that offer high quality hand laid fiberglass kits for standard cars such as the VW golf, Corsa, Ford focus, etc..

Below are some of the major differences between the urethane and fiberglass.

Urethane kits are flexible so any slight impacts or bumps will not crack the kit. Urethane kits are resilient to weather so hot or cold, they can withstand the climate (rain, hail, snow). Urethane kits are easier to install since they have some flex to contour to the body parts. Urethane kits are easier to prep before the painting process thus costing you less at the bodyshop.

Fiberglass kits are not flexible so the slightest bump and she's cracked. Fiberglass kits are not resilient to weather so they can get even damaged even easier due to this. Fiberglass kits are difficult to install because they almost always require cutting, sanding down, etc to actually get the part to fit properly. Fiberglass kits are more expensive to prep and paint, due to the needed shop time to get the kit to fit properly.

What it comes down to in the end is you can 'usually' get a high quality urethane kit purchased, prepped, painted and installed for less then the cost of a fiberglass kit.

Another thing to keep in mind, No brand name body kit company out there (commonly) uses fiberglass to construct their kits. That should say something if you haven't gotten the point already.

The five drugs that are discussed in this article are Ibuprofen which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is commonly used for relief of Arthritis, Warfarin which is an anticoagulant drug commonly prescribed by doctors to treat venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, to treat or prevent dangerous blood clotting in people with arterial fibrillation and to prevent strokes, a benzodiazepine drug called Diazepam which is commonly prescribed by doctors for relieve nervousness, anxiety, and anxiety disorders, a sulfonylureas drug called Glipizide which is used to help control blood sugar levels and used to treat type 2 diabetes and a thyroid medication called Armour Thyroid which is prescribed for the treatment of hypothyroidism.

Arthritis is a common illness in todays society; doctors prescribe drugs called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for this condition. A common NSAID is Ibuprofen which reduces inflammation, pain and high temperature and is used widely to relieve the symptoms of arthritis. Ibuprofen is available in prescription and nonprescription. As well as rheumatoid arthritis, Ibuprofen is used to treat mild to moderate pain, primary dysmenorrhoea, osteoarthritis, menstrual cramps, bursitis, gout, migraine headaches and fever.

NSAIDs such as Ibuprofen can cause gastrointestinal (GI) irritation, bleeding, iron loss and kidney dysfunction and increased blood potassium levels, especially in older people. Ibuprofen may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or blurred vision especially when taken with alcohol.

Ibuprofen has adverse results when taken with lithium, sodium and white willow.

Lithium a mineral which is commonly prescribe to treat manic depression, many NSAIDs stop the excretion of lithium from the body which results in higher blood lithium levels which in tern can create unwanted side effects and interferes with efficacy. NSAIDs should be taken with caution for those people who are taking lithium whether in supplement form or for mood disorders. It is wise to reduce salt intake when taking Ibuprofen because Ibuprofen may cause sodium and water retention.

People who are taking the herb white willow should be aware that links have been made that white willow reduces the blood level of NSAIDs.

Warfarin is an anticoagulant drug commonly used to treat venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, treat or prevent dangerous blood clotting in people with arterial fibrillation and to prevent stroke.

Coenzyme Q10, Green tea, Iron, Magnesium, St. Johns wort, Vitamin C and Zinc should be avoid when taking Warfarin as they can reduced drug absorption/ bioavailability. Also American ginseng, Asian ginseng, Cranberry, Dan shen, Devils claw, Dong quai, Fenugreek, Garlic, Ginger, Ginkgo biloba, Horse chestnut, Lycium barbarum, Papain, Quilinggao, Quinine, Red clover, Reishi, Sweet clover, Sweet woodruff, Vitamin D and Vitamin K should be avoided as they can cause dangerous or undesirable results.

The long term of heavy drinking of alcohol can affect the efficiency of warfarin and also certain foods such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, parsley, spinach, which contain high amounts of vitamin K, can interfere with the effectiveness and safety of warfarin.

Known side effects of warfarin are difficulty breathing, closing of the throat, swelling of the lips, tongue, face, hives, black, bloody, or tarry stools, blood in urine or vomit, coughing up blood, bleeding gums or sores in the mouth, decreased urine production, yellowing of the skin or eyes, severe dizziness or headache, easy bleeding or bruising under the skin, purple discoloration of the toes or fingers, sudden leg or foot pain, unusually heavy menstrual periods, excessive gas or bloating, diarrhoea, nausea, or vomiting, hair loss and decreased appetite or weight.

Diazepam is commonly used to relieve nervousness, anxiety, and anxiety disorders. It is in a class of drugs called benzodiazepines which effect chemicals in the brain. People can become physically and psychologically dependent on diazepam, it is habit forming and withdrawal effects can occur when stopped. Diazepam can cause dizziness and drowsiness, alcohol can make these symptoms worst.

Diazepam can harm unborn babies and can be passed into breast milk. Known side effects of Diazepam are an allergic reaction, sores in the mouth or throat, yellowing of the skin or eye, a rash, hallucinations or severe confusion, changes in vision, drowsiness, dizziness, clumsiness, depression, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, difficulty urinating, vivid dreams, headache, dry mouth, decreased sex drive and changes in behaviour.

Glipizide is a sulfonylurea drug which is used to help control blood sugar levels and used to treat type 2 diabetes. Known side effects of glipizide are severe headaches in children, skin rash or hives, signs and symptoms of overdose, chest pain, confusion, fast or irregular heartbeat, mood swings, muscle weakness, psychosis, extreme restlessness, yellow eyes or skin, shortness of breath, changes in appetite, changes in menstrual periods, diarrhoea, fever, hand tremors, headache, increased sensitivity to heat, irritability, leg cramps, nervousness, sweating, trouble in sleeping, vomiting and weight loss.

Adverse reaction can take place when Glipizide is taken together with fenugreek and Ginkgo biloba. Fenugreek has been proved in studies to reduce blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes and ginkgo biloba worsened glucose tolerance in people who took oral anti-diabetes medication.

Thyroid medication are used for the treatment of hypothyroidism and are either synthetic or animal-derived hormones, Armour Thyroid is a common example of thyroid medication. Calcium and Soya may reduce drug absorption and bioavailability within the body, bugleweed and lemon balm cause adverse reaction when taken with thyroid medication.

Thyroid medication has been known to increase loss of calcium from the body through urine and calcium has been known to reduce the effectiveness of certain thyroid medication. Soya being taken at the same time as thyroid medication has been known to reduce it abilities.

Bugleweed and lemon balm should not be used with thyroid medication as it is known that they interfere with the action of thyroid hormones.

In conclusion, it is important for a Nutritional Therapist to ask patients what medication has been prescribed for them and to research these medications so that they know what side effects are caused by these and what supplement and food types can be used without causing further negative effects.

In my instruction I have found it extremely useful to break the swing down into its component parts. I divide the swing into 1/8 segments and each of these segments add another power producer to the motion. The first is the 1/8 shot, this is what the hands do to release the club, the second component (the 1/4 shot) is the use of the elbows and what they do to add power to the releasing action of the club, the 3rd component (the 3/8 shot) is the setting of the #7 position of the left arm (where the left arm goes as it crosses the chest) combined with the turn of the hips as the pivot returns the left arm. As the pivot of the turning hips return the left arm it remains back across the chest, it does not swing forward. And finally the 4th component (the 1/2 shot) which adds the shifting of the weight, and the additional 1/8 of the power.

Each of these shots does a job of quickly teaching what each component does and how it relates to the other components. When done with the wedges and short irons each component adds 1/8 of the total distance that club would produce with a full swing. In other words if you hit your sand wedge 100 yards each 1/8th would add 12.5 yards to the shot. Hands only 12.5 yards, hands and elbows 25 yards, hands elbows and left arm 37.5 yards, hands, elbows #7 left arm action, arm and shift 50 yards. This works with any iron club, a 1/2 shot (4th component) would go 100 yards with the club you hit 200 yards with a full swing.

By learning the swing this way you both gain a quick understanding of how and where each component works in the golf swing, plus you gain important feel and understanding of how to hit the shorter shots and which one you need for a given situation.

Trying to learn the full swing while wailing away with a driver is best compared to someone trying to learn how to drive a car by jumping into a formula 1 car and standing on the gas. Learning to drive that way is suicide, trying to perfect your golf swing with full hard shots is equally suicide.

For a rapid way to improve your swing and your game together, learning with the shorter shots is the key. Then when you have the components in place and functioning on the 1/2 shot you can add more back swing and more follow through to quickly advance to longer shots. Once the 1/2 sand wedge is mastered the actions of the body in the full swing are also well on their way to being mastered and all you have to do is turn farther going back and follow through more after impact to perfect your full swing.

The actions of the component parts are the same with the 1/2 sand wedge shot as the same portion of the full driver swing. Once the sand wedge is mastered the golf swing is mastered, since with this swing all clubs are swung exactly the same way.
