If you're someone who has just been diagnosed with cancer, it is overwhelming to deal with all of the information and decisions needed to move forward in your cancer care. It's important to learn all you can and ask questions along the way so that you have confidence in your treatment plan and the team leading you through treatment. Here are a few questions to consider as you start to make decisions:
One of the most important things is confidence in your treatment team. Take time to get your questions answered so that you can make informed decisions. I know that many of you can add to this list, as you learn so much from each other. Share your ideas and suggestions as you coach each other through this experience.

I am 82 yrs old and had lumpectomy yesterday. Prior to that Surgeon and oncologist disagreed about : radiation to follow or tamoxfen. Oncologist felt strongly that I should not have radiation.
Surgeon still wants to use radiation.
I am confused.
have triple negative invasive ductal carconoma breast cancer. nodes clear tumors were less than 2cmm had masectomy and am 75 yrs old said chances are this type of breast cancer would not come back but wants me to have chem taxotere/cytoryn would give me 10% to 20% less change of coming back I am confused.
I just have to share with you about today's appointment. I brought up the team subject and it went well. When I came out of the Doctor's office the Social Wroker was waiting for me. She invited my husband in also and she gave us a host of information from support organizations to financial help if needed. She invited us back any time we need her. I do not know how the Dr. did it so fast but it was done. The Dr. also told me to make an appointment with my surgeon (which was done)to get him the loop and all copies of her recoreds will be faxed to my primary Dr. Thank you again for the info and I encourage all who have not already done so to take advanatage of the different disciplines waiting to help.
Thank you/ I am sure this will help me as well as others that are reading the article. I see my oncologist tomorrow and I am going to bring up the subject. Just as you have mentioned I do have pain and have just been putting up with it. Yes, I have a diagnosis of cancer....mestasis to bone from breast cancer. The breast cancer was ten years ago. I am gaining weight, having pain, nauseous almost every day. I will ask for a referral to a nutritionist, pain control, and maybe consider some counseling. In spite of all these things I do keep busy trying to go out at least once a day but with effort. My primary doctor did not find the cancer my oncologist did . She was getting ready to discharge me after five years of folllow up an decided to do a bone scan first and the metasis showed up. I went to Mayo and it was confirmed. Wish we lived closer as I would be going to Mayo. However, I know this is going to be a long journey. To any reading this keep the faith and try to enjoy the things you can. It is what it is. Enjoy each day. But also take the adavice and try to get a team involved I know I am going to do s to try to improve the quality of life I have left.. I am going to fight this as much as I can. Love and peaace to all.
Anna, if you have a diagnosis of cancer, initially your primary care doctor would refer you to an oncologist or hematologist - and they would be leading your treatment plan. The team may include a surgeon, radiation oncologist and possibly a chemotherapy nurse. Other members of the health care team might be a nurse educator, social worker, nutritionist or a nurse practitioner. Once your initial treatment is over, your care may switch back to your primary care physician or team, but it would be important for them to understand your long term follow-up plan and be able to address any side effects you might be experiencing. Pain is important to address, so don't be afraid to ask for a referral to a pain specialist if needed - it is many times overlooked. I hope this is helpful.
Could or would you explain what and how a team is organized. To my knowledge locally I just have my oncologist. I have a primary doctor and surgeon and caradiologist but do not think they communicate with each other. Is it my responsibility to ask different medical people to be a team on my case? It seems each does his/own speciality when I see them. I have made it a habit to get copies of any blood work or scan reports and take it with me for the doctors. However, I do not think they see themselves involved with my cancer. To me it would be very important as when I have a pain or question I do not know who to speak to. A teeam concept would be great
My insurance carrier locks me into their services, no options available. I am putting my trust in them and god that all will be well. Not having a "treatment team" means I need to rely on trust and faith more than interpersonal relationships with a medical team.
I was treat at Mayo for breast cancer and got no treatment plan for after active treatment was over even though I have requested it from many of my doctors. I have to do research on the internet and ask my Dr.'s "Am I supposed to be having these tests" and most of the time they say oh yes you should be??? That is crazy, what about people who have no way to do research and advocate for themselves?
Having just lost my beloved husband of 46 years to Lymphoma, I was given a hysterectomy for stage 1A, grade 2 uterine lining cancer. I survived breast cancer in 1992 and colon cancer in 2003. Neither time did I have any further treatments, surgery only. Now I'm being asked to have radiation for sure and perhaps chemo. Seeing my husband endure 9 rounds of chemo and 14 radiation treatments until he was so weak that he was bedfast the last 2 months of his life, do I really want to put our sons and the rest of the family through this with me? I know I am not able to think straight, it's been 6 weeks today since my husband passed away, so I am relying on doctors and my family to help me decide which way to go. God help us all.
Can you get close to the patient right after he got the brachy treatment?
In the best of all possible worlds, we would all have options. However, owing to the type or rarity of a cancer, our home location relative to medical facilities, or other factors, we cannot always choose our medical personnel. Dealing with medical staff who are condescending, rushed, or just cold can make a bad situation worse. I had to push to be heard, not easy when I was dealing with everything else. Even years later, I remain wary. In one case, a nurse listened and caught the ear of an uncommunicative physician. Putting questions and concerns in writing can also be useful, although not everyone in comfortable with the format. Ideally, Hospital Relations Departments should help the patient, but are also there to protect the hospital stall should they err. Does anyone have other ideas for dealing with situations that cannot necessarily be changed?
I had a PSA score of 8.8 but was advised to have rectum exam which led to biopsy proving malignancy,70% spread, and a score 0f 4/5 and 5/5 a total of 9/10 and so advanced stage. Had to go in for MRI,CT Scan and with suspicion of spread to right leg and pelvic had to go for leg bone marrow biopsy and PEPScan to rule out spread. Finally ended up with advise to go in for Harmone therapy and radiation IMRT.Am now in 4th week. All said and done all the procedures were handled by experts in the field with latest automatic equipments and hence no need for a second round. Of course it involved substantial expenditure uncovered by any insurance but am happy I got the best attention and always felt i am in good hands.Several rounds of discussions with various field experts and more than one in same field and then for treatment had to select another hospital as I had to move out to my sons place and here too I luckily landed at a hospital nearby with all latest facilities plus flexible timings even daily basis.
I am able to bear it proudly and with confidence and I love MAYOs articles.
Learnt a lot.
CANCER IS A DISEASE OF BODY, MIND and SOUL
I encourage cancer patients to "vote with their feet" when it comes to their treatment team. Like many people do, I accepted on faith the oncologist who was referred by my primary care physician. After learning my cancer diagnosis over the phone and being upset about that method of informing me, I decided to vote with my feet and find another oncologist. (I also disliked being told to start chemo with absolutely no education or preparation offered.) I found an excellent oncologist and a much better setting for chemo. It takes extra time and effort to change, but if you feel you're not being listened to or your wishes and needs are not being properly considered, make the change. I found it was well worth it.
Is anyone dealing with ,or has dealt with what they are calling triple negative ,node negative breast cancer which is stage 1b who was advised to have 6 rounds of cytoxin and taxdotere as well as RT when the chemo is finished. I was told from an onco dx test result that I have a 30% chance of distant recurrance without the chemo, 20% with.
I am not happy with the potential side effects but at age 70 with lots of kids and grandkids I would like a long life span. any thoughts thanks
I completely agree that you must have strong confidence in your team. I was diagnosed with primary liver cancer in April. I have never been sick, had no symptoms. I went to my primary dr. because I was itching so badly. He ordered labs and I had elevated liver enzymes. After ultrasound that showed a hemangeomas he referred me to GI dr. All scans presented hemangomas, all labs good except elevated enzymes and ALP. GI dr. consulted w/liver spec. and they ordered biopsy, the hemangeomas is not hemangomas, it's the malignant tumor. Liver Dr. ordered targeted therapy (chemoradiaation). I'm saying all this to say that without this wonderful team of drs, I wouldn't be alive much longer.I'm sure I will have more chemo but at least now I have a chance for life. God is good, prayers are powerful.
I've have chronic leukemia and had chemo many times. After sitting with other cancer patients for many hours and speaking with them about their experiences I have drawn some conclusions that may be beneficial. In 95% of the case, always seek a second opinion at a teaching or not for profit hospital. Some cancer treatment centers are for profit and how they are paid and when by your insurance carrier may influence your treatment. The expression " it's only business" applies though people don't wish to believe it. An insurance company may pay the center faster if they follow the protocols they favor for various diagnoses. It may not be in the best interest of the patient but a non-cutting edge protocol which costs less for the insurance company ,could expedite termination which allows them to make more money by spending less on treatment for the patient.I personally know of a diagnosis of a type of cancer that a treatment center began chemo immediately and a state of the art cancer center( Moffit in Tamps ,Fl)said would have taken a different route. The chemo isn't effective in some cases and appears to weaken ones immune system making them die faster. Have your patient advocate/care provider stay on top of the situation to protect the cancer patient. There are excellent facilities out there but "for Profit" treatment centers make money like medical insurance companies, by spending less on the patient.If they run it to make profit,someone looses for the sake
Is there anyone out there who was successfully "implanted" for brachytherapy? They tried it with me, and attempts at inserting the balloon were so horribly painful that I begged them to stop, which they did. But I'm curious about how others have fared.
When I was diagnosed with leukemia, I was so sick I didn't make a choice...I just took the Oncologist on call that day...and I know it was Divine providence! I have been blessed with the best team of doctors, nurses, and aides that I could have ever chosen, had I had the opportunity. I'll never forget the night the nurse came to the CCU to start my first chemo...she said, "With other types of cancer, you have time for a second opinion or to talk about your options, but with this, you either start treatment right away, or you go to heaven." She was often my nurse once I was moved to the Oncology floor, and we have remained special friends to this day.
I SO MUCH agree with you. I switched my provider after ONE appt with a surgeon (for breast cancer). I knew right away that I was in the wrong place for me. The difference was night & day . . . I had total confidence in my team at the new health care institution I chose to move to after that first disappointing appt. That was the most important decision that I made in those first weeks after being told my mammogram showed cancer. It definitely put me on the right track.

Starting January 2013 I will be hosting a monthly yoga and meditation workshop at the Loft @ Larchmont (recently featured on the Larchmont Buzz). This beautiful space is home to the private practice of Dr. Michelle Golland.
"Dr. Michelle's education featured an emphasis in Multi-Cultural and Community Psychology and she sees her role in the media and in her private practice as an advocate for the underserved and an educator regarding all things related to mental and emotional well-being."
Dr. Golland's educational background and commitment to helping women makes this a perfect match! I look forward to this becoming a space for women of different ethnic, social, and economic backgrounds to meet while sharing the benefits of yoga and meditation. I am no stranger to sharing how both practices have helped me deal with anxiety and mourn the death of a family member. Continue reading

Rochester Veterans' Council news
Thursday, January 24, 2013
ROCHESTER — Greetings, this will be my last column as president, as I am stepping down. When you reach age 75, you start to slow down a little, and I have to take care of my health. Being president of an organization such as the RVC, is a lot of work. The job is time-consuming as it includes setting up the schedules for ceremonies and events, and securing the various permits needed for these events. I would like to thank past presidents Al Benton and Norm Sanborn Sr. for guiding me through this past year which was a great and wonderful experience. I especially enjoyed working with the community and veterans. I can't thank John and Conor of the Times enough, and also MetroCast for taping shows every month on Channel 12.
I would also like to thank Frank Willard of Farmington who called me last week and told me he had a Hoveround Heavy Duty wheelchair which had only been used 4-5 times. I've had a 300 lb. disabled veteran who has been waiting over a month for an over-sized wheelchair. Frank saw my plea for medical equipment on Channel 12, and he told me he also reads my column in the Times every week. We now have six electric wheelchairs on loan. We also have plenty of manual wheelchairs on hand. If you have an electric wheelchair, please make sure you keep it charged.
Dennis Sellers is our new RVC president. He will do a great job. He worked with me all year, and any time I called him, he was right there. At almost every event we had, Dennis was the first one there, nine out of 10 times. He is a great vet!

Tuesday evening, Red Square hummed for the house of Dior. It was the first time that a fashion show took place here and it was, of course, a Dior fashion show.
One side: the Kremlin. Opposite: GUM, the opulent Muscovite shopping gallery that's feting one hundred and twenty years this year. On the third side: the Cathedral of St. Basil. And in the center of this fabled Red Square, a wholly mirrored box reflecting these three Moscow landmarks, the same mirrored box that could be found in the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris for the Dior ready-to-wear show in March. The decor, but also the collection and some of the house's star models, also made the trip (read our report ). Another mirror: the interior of GUM, for an exhibition retracing the journey that the house of Dior took to Moscow in 1959, filled with enormous silver balls throughout the nave of the grand arcade, endlessly reflecting the photographs from that time. And the final mirror: those same balloons as show decor, and also in the event room behind, where Bryan Ferry gave an exclusive concert for the occasion, performing some of his own hits as well as other British rock classics.
Everything was about reflecting, as evidence by the multiplicity of mirrored surfaces. And so this fashion show was a reflection of the one in March; and the event itself made reference to the one of 1959. But these reflections aren't carbon copies, rather a stream of influences and inspirations. In the same way that the codes so dear to Monsieur Dior are to be found everywhere in the collections that Raf Simons is designing for the house today (houndstooth, the bow, art, red - and now also Red Square), reinterpreted in a modern manner. The French actress Louise Bourgoin, supermodel Natalia Vodianova, and a whole litany of Moscow personalities attended, paying simultaneous homage to the house's past and its present.

Comedian Robin Williams couldn't help but goof around a bit while out at the premiere for his latest project Happy Feet Two in Hollywood on Sunday afternoon.
After posing for photos with co-star Elijah Wood, Robin took a ride on a slide set up at Grauman's Chinese Theater for the flick's opening.
Pink and hubby Carey Hart brought along new daughter Willow to catch the flick, which Modern Family's Sofia Vergara and singer Common also didn't want to miss.

'No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious' –George Bernard Shaw.
The success story of Bt-cotton in India is obvious, but it has indeed become strangely, circumspect to affirmatively answer the 'obviously easy to answer' question -'has Bt-cotton succeeded in India in combating the bollworm menace?' The answer lies in the simple fact that farmers have endorsed the technology in a vast majority. If Bt-cotton would not have controlled bollworms, the technology would not have moved the distance it has today.
There may be a need for refinement and constant changes are always inbuilt into science. While we progress with advanced technologies for sustainable growth and prosperity, environment should always be uppermost in our minds. Questions must be asked and concerns will be raised, but, science must provide answers and solutions. Bio-safety concerns are paramount to all of us. Answers should be forthcoming from good robust scientific experiments. We need not shy away from moving forward to develop GM technologies in a manner that is profoundly acceptable to the ecology, environment and society. But, any new technology must be compared to the previously used technologies and evaluated for the trade-off benefits, checks and balances and economic gain of the farmers.
It is clear that there is hardly any technology that can be 100.0% safe to everything. Interestingly, Bt-cotton is one of the few technologies having the safest bio-safety profiles. It comes as an alternative to the previously used hazardous concoction of insecticide mixtures. The insecticides used on cotton were known to have ravaged ecology, disrupted the environment, played havoc with human and animal health, were toxic to honey bees, insect-parasitoids and predators, caused allergies and a myriad number of ill-effects. Bt-cotton removed that to a great extent. Strangely, this seems to have been less acknowledged by detractors of the Bt-cotton technology. It is true that insecticides are now being used for sap-sucking pest control on Bt cotton hybrids, but, as mentioned in this book, the increase is because of the susceptible hybrids and has nothing to do with Bt-technology. We cannot afford to move back towards the pesticide era. By all scientific standards, Bt GM Cotton technology is by far the most environment friendly technology available thus far. We must however develop varieties and hybrids that show comprehensive resistance to sucking pests through resistant germplasm sources and to bollworms through Bt genes. This is possible through good plant breeding efforts. Once this is done, it is for sure that insecticide usage will be substantially reduced.
Bt-cotton was the first of GM technologies to be introduced into India. It is beyond doubt that farmers preferred Bt-cotton instead of the hazardous insecticide-cocktails for bollworm control. It is true that because of huge investment potential, multinational companies had the edge to develop the technology more efficiently and at a faster pace, compared to many public sector institutions across the world. But, GM technologies are being developed now more easily than before, as the transformation technology itself has advanced tremendously. India cannot afford to lose the competitive edge in agriculture, in the international arena, by slowing down biotechnology applications in agriculture. While we move forward, it surely becomes everybody's responsibility to use the best science based technologies available to the farmer after weighing out all concerns and consequences, but, we need to move forward to face future challenges of burgeoning food and clothing demands of the ever-increasing populace.
I congratulate Dr Kranthi for the good effort in bringing out all possible facets of the Bt-cotton technology, especially from the Indian perspective, in the form of questions and answers, which makes the book readable. I hope that this book will enable all stakeholders for better understanding so as to assist in proper assessment of the technology in as rationally a manner as possible.
The book is accessible in its entireness here.

So I just finished AGoT. Awesome, just awesome. It sucks that he killed Eddard off, but I'm getting over it. Anyway, on to the questions:
On the second to last Daenerys chapter, I'm a little confused. Drogo could not ride, so most of his khal wanted to abandon him, or at the very least kill the Maegi who did this. That was who Ser Jorah was fighting while the Maegi was in the tent performing the ritual. In the aftermath, his bloodriders stayed with Daenerys while others fled, right? Now, on to Daenerys. She miscarried, right? Now all that talk by Ser Jorah about giving birth to a dragon, did I read right? Her son was a dragon? Also, the Maegi made her miscarry on purpose, right? That's what I read. I'm not too sure. Thanks for the help.
March 13th, 2011, 05:34 AM #32
Yes. The Maegi made her miscarry, sacrificing her son to save Drogo (life for life), though killing the prophecised leader who'd unite the Dothraki and conquer the world was probably enticing to her as well (this is also GRRM's way of telling us that prophecies are not set and can be undone in his world).
We also don't know exactly what happened to Dany's baby (aside from the fact it's dead, though crackpot 'the baby survived and is still around!' theories have cropped up from time to time). The Maegi said all kinds of freaky things but IIRC that was just to upset Dany. She didn't literally give birth to a dragon.
March 19th, 2011, 06:33 PM #33
Dany's young bodyguards became her new Bloodriders, but not until after she hatched the Dragons,

Drogo's bloodriders who are now khals in their own right are still out there, btw, and still keen to see her returned to Vaes Dothrak. And Meereen is not far from Lhazar where Drogo died...

I'm finishing up Storm of Swords and I'm reading how Tyrion and Jaime independently figure out that Joffery sent the assasin to kill Bran. Why? I'm still not sure about it. But then, maybe it's not supposed to make sense because Joffery is an idiot. Am I missing something?

Could someone kindly remind me why Jeor Mormont took the Black? And am I right in assuming that he did so before Jorah lost the Lordship of Bear Island, which - given that Jeor couldn't then go back and reassume that position, being bound by his vow as a brother of the Night's Watch - makes Jorah's disgrace all the worse?

Jorah sold the slaves instead of giving them to the watch, right? They were going to have his head for that and that's why he fled, right?
June 20th, 2011, 10:47 AM #42
Jorah should have offered the poachers the opportunity to take the black, yes. However, the fact he didn't has no bearing on the Night's Watch: they only deal with people sent to them, not punishing those who don't send people to them. That's their liege lords' job, in this case Eddard's.
In Jeor Mormont's case, Bear Island suffers from the depredations of the wildlings more than any other Northern house, since ice-raiders from the Frozen Shore can cross over and raid the island almost at will. So when Jeor saw that Jorah had become a great hero and a worthy lord, he left Bear Island to him and dedicated his last few years to the Watch. When Jorah buggered off, that left Jeor unable to come back and he had to watch his younger sister become Lord instead, something he's not too happy about.
June 20th, 2011, 04:13 PM #43
Cheers Wert - a sad tale indeed. And interesting that you point out the thing about wildings raiding over a frozen bay, I hadn't considered that. Quite the opposite, in fact. A glance at the map led me to think Bear Island would be safely isolated, and even while I was reading your post I was thinking "how do they raid the Island?". I was forgetting how chilly it gets up there.

I have a question about Dorne. During the war -- which was what, 20 years before the Game of Thrones events? -- the Mad King Aegon's wife Ella and children are killed during the overthrow of Aegon, and the wife was a princess from Dorne so Dorne is ticked. Makes sense. But it seems that at some point just before our timeline -- i.e. longgg after Ella is killed, the then prince of Dorne leaves home to investigate the death, challenges the killer to a duel and loses.
I must be missing something because I dont get it. Why would he wait so damn long to find out how Ella and the kids really died, and/or seek revenge?

My team's bags finally arrived, and I held out hope until the last minute that mine would come straggling in, but no such luck.
The PX was small, with limited inventories and almost no clothing for women. I purchased a towel, a pack of men's t-shirts, socks and two pair of men's trousers right before we went on lock-down for the flight to Afghanistan.
My laptop, good boots and stacks of neatly ironed Mossy Oak RedHead shirts with matching tactical pants would never find me now.
I learned a lot that day. Lock-down simply meant being locked in a very hot, large tent with all your belongings and a whole bunch of other sweaty people for a couple of hours while someone in the front screamed orders so fast I couldn't understand a word. Thank goodness Lt. Col. (ret) Lew Deal could interpret the announcements for me.
Someone tipped me off that the seats along the sides of the plane were the best, but they were all full when I boarded. Far be it for me to argue over a seat, especially when the occupant has a 9-mm and I'm just wearing a boat anchor in the shape of a vest.
But there is justice. I found a seat in the cramped front-middle of the plane and soon struck up conversation with a young man in a tan jumpsuit. He was a hunter so we hit it off immediately.
As the cargo was loaded, he asked if I would like to ride in the cockpit with him and the other pilot as we flew from Kyrgyzstan to deliver the load of passengers and gear. He didn't have to ask me twice.
The sky was crystal clear, which gave me an eagle's eye view of the mountains below.
We landed somewhere in Afghanistan, and about a dozen passengers loaded on a C-117 along with a menagerie of pallets, fuel tanks and things I couldn't identify. But that left all kinds of against-the-wall seating on this flight.
We arrived at Camp Bagram sometime before midnight. Our contact assigned us a bunk. This place had none of the casualness we found at Camp Manas.
The obvious fortifications spelled war zone.

Family Guy Online
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Family Guy Online Overview
Family Guy Online is a F2P browser based MMORPG that allows players to become bona-fide citizens in the animated world of Quahog. Assist your favorite characters from the hit TV show Family Guy by completing various quests. Visit the Griffin house, the Drunken Clam, and stroll through Spooner Street. Perform wacky social skills like emitting giant gas clouds or drop a disco ball to initiate an instant party with friends. Collect items, fight in PvE battles, and win achievements for cool prizes. It's all fun and jokes in this comical role-playing game by Twentieth Century Fox. Players can choose from four starting character classes. There's also a special Brian class that can be unlocked later in the game for advance players.
Character Classes:
Stewie – This character class generates pint-size evil geniuses capable of dealing massive amounts of damage to their foes. To compensate for their fragile exterior they are armed with a variety of cool gadgets.
Chris & Meg – A combination of the Griffin siblings this class can take a large amount of abuse and stay standing. Despite their awkwardness these teen rebels have several devastating attacks when provoked.
Peter – As the head of the Griffin clan this loud, gassy, dysfunctional father loves being on the frontline. Using his size and weight he can attack multiple enemies simultaneously.
Lois – These skilled female fighters are experts in Tae-Jitsu and the art of Foxy Boxing. The Lois class also has the ability to heal wounds with a motherly touch or smooch.

By Ange Perdu
Family Guy Online or FGO is a 3D free-to-play browser MMORPG that's based off of Fox's hit animated series. Players get to enter the fictional city of Quahog, Rhode Island and become citizens. The citizenship process which is conducted by Mayor West is rather unorthodox. Players have to help out the locals including the Griffin family in various tasks. Along the way pledging residents can collect rare items and earn laughable combat or social skills, participate in mini-games, and occasionally fight in PvE battles. In this fantasy MMO, fans of the TV show Family Guy not only get to explore but they can also interact with their favorite characters. Join Peter, Lois, Meg, Chris, Brian, and Stewie on their wacky misadventures as you level up and move into the town of Quahog.
Becoming a Citizen of Quahog, the Gameplay
Players start out by creating a generic character resembling one of the four starter classes. Select an obnoxious overweight Peter look-a-like or another member of the Griffin clan. Classic Family Guy humor is embedded throughout the game. As players browse through the character class descriptions a warning for anyone over 40 attempting to create a baby Stewie class appears, stating that the FBI is now monitoring their computer. It's funny. Familiar faces from the series are NPCs. Mayor Adam West gives players a quick tutorial and guides new residents through the process of becoming an official citizen of Quahog. In order to level up in status users must complete an assortment of tasks. The majority of quests in FGO involve fetching weird supplies and finding various hidden objects. Grab a jaunty feathered cap at Herbert's stand in Spooner Street or pick up Brian a magazine at the Pornoslavia shop downtown. Once a quest has been successfully completed a mini-clip of a previously aired episode of Family Guy plays that relates to the items users were asked to acquire. Advertisements and promos also play and pop up throughout the game too.
The onslaught of deodorant, movie trailers, and iTunes Store Ads can be annoying. It takes away from the game which is actually quite entertaining at stages. There's original voice dialogue, endless jokes, and references to some of the series' funniest episodes. However the gameplay often feels slow and repetitive since most of the tasks simply involve finding odd items. There's also a lack of direction in the game as well. After completing a dozen or so quests players are given a long laundry list of objectives with no auto-walk or map feature to assist in speeding up the process. Find the racist sunflower, locate the dirt bike anthem, and find Cleveland's birthday card along with other random tasks will appear on a player's stuff to do list. These objectives must be completed before moving up to the next level in citizenship. It's like a screwball Easter egg hunt only Family Guy style.
Giggity Giggity Giggity, Alright
One feature that definitely stands out in FGO is the graphics. The 3D Unity Engine gives the game a polished HD atmosphere. Similar to A Mystical Land the quality almost surpasses the standards of typical browser titles. Players are instantly transported into the animated world of Quahog. From the long winding streets to small details inside of characters' homes like toothbrushes placed on the bathroom sink counter, it's all been covered. Geared especially towards fans of the show, users can take a scenic stroll through Spooner Street, visit Quagmire's house, or stop for a drink with friends at the Drunken Clam. There are nine different zones to explore. Each player must reach a certain citizenship level to unlock a particular area. Residents are also free to explore. There are special collections that players can complete by finding items scattered through the zones. Search for a tennis ball, Martini glass, fine whiskey, and an Old Yorkee Magazine to snag the Brian collection.
When Cheerleaders Attack
Occasionally while players are wandering the streets and tackling quests they will encounter hostile individuals that want to rumble. Whether you're a Stewie or Lois each character class has their own set of distinct combat and social hot key skills. These skills are automatically received upon leveling. The Peter class has the dad punch and the noxious belch to subdue foes while the Chris/Meg class features the always effective groin kick and the 'I hate you all' as signature moves. A quick click on an enemy initiates an attack. Surprisingly most of the combat in the Family Guy Online is fast paced and challenging. Although there's no PvP battles players can join forces with their friends for co-op combat. Take out a group of angry cheerleaders, fight a mob of prisoners with your fellow neighbors or try to kill a boss character on your own. It's up to residents to determine how social they want to be but many of the more difficult PvE battles do require assistance. There are also mini-combat games for higher level players to participate as well.
Gear & the Power of Cheezed Wiz
Similar to other titles bases off popular franchises such as The Sims Social players have the opportunity to customize their characters with a wide selection of gear and accessories. Family Guy Online features a shop where residents can buy the latest in clothes, consumables, and skills. The skill and weapon section is pretty empty but the apparel selection is huge. Players can purchase military camo shorts, black skinny jeans, jogging pants, miniskirts, dark pink fishnet, bear underwear, grey hoodie, green sneakers, and brown snail eyes. Items like round glasses, bat cape, and a Ted head can be bought for in-game coins as well. For those willing to spend real cash a brown poncho, teal Hawaiian shirt, tissue box shoes, night vision goggles, black superhero mask, blinders, red heart thong, leopard print jeans, and cricket shin guards are available. Most of the clothing items have been worn past episodes adding to the theme. The Brian character class can also be unlocked for some bucks. Players can buy consumable items like tasty juice or cheezed wiz that provides an instant health boost. Pepper spray and even the disco party skill which makes fellow citizens within distant immediately start to dance are also on sale in the shop.
Final Verdict: Fair
Family Guy Online has massive potential to be a great game but it falls short when compared to most browser MMOs. Despite the stellar graphics and tidbits of humor it comes off as more of an interactive advertisement than an actual game. Players create generic versions of their favorite characters and then are bombarded with Axe deodorant and digital download promos. There's plenty of so-called stuff to do but they don't really hold your attention. Trekking through the streets of Quahog for weird items is fun at first but after about 30 minutes it gets old fast. Much like Kingdom of Loathing it's something silly to pass time. If you're a Family Guy fan or looking for new casual F2P game to play then FGO might be worth checking out.

Sen. Ayotte commended for work with Internet Crimes Against Children
Friday, January 11, 2013
PORTSMOUTH — More than two dozen law enforcement officials gathered in Portsmouth Thursday to thank U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte for her efforts to strengthen New Hampshire's Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.
It increases the maximum penalties from 10 years to 20 years for child pornography offenses that involve prepubescent children or children under the age of 12. It also permits federal judges to issue protective orders in cases where child victims or witnesses are being harassed or intimidated.
Another provision gives the U.S. Marshals limited subpoena authority to locate and apprehend fugitive sex offenders.
As the bill was negotiated in Congress, Ayotte worked to "strengthen training and technical assistance" available to law enforcement, according to information provided by her staff.
One outcome of that effort was a provision in the bill that doubles the amount of money available for relevant ICAC training, according to Ayotte.
Implementing the new act carries a total estimated price tag of $121 million between now and fiscal 2018, according to an analysis prepared by the Congressional Budget Office.
New Hampshire's ICAC team was assembled in 1998. The group is headquartered at the Portsmouth Police Department, and it investigates cases across the state. Members are stationed at dozens of participating police departments, including in Rochester, Manchester and Concord, and at the attorney general's office.
DuBois also detailed a second case in which a detailed investigation by the ICAC team turned up evidence of shocking abuse. The case originated in Milton, and was investigated by a Rochester police investigator.
Rockingham County Attorney Jim Reams highlighted changes made by the Child Protection Act that will remove barriers to training across the country. He described a changing mindset in New Hampshire courts and among lawmakers regarding the need for tougher sentencing in child sex crime cases.
"Her work in Washington is absolutely consistent with what she did here when she was our attorney general," Reams said.

Our newest addition to the collection is this 1956 Continental Mark II, donated to America's Car Museum by Steve Boone, owner of Northwest Harley Davidson in Lacy, WA. Steve, who has been a tireless LeMay- America's Car Museum supporter, is a member of the Museum's Board of Directors and the Chairperson of ACM's Collection Committee.
The Mark II is a beautiful display example of Ford's forward thinking in engineering design and attention to quality. When Steve acquired the car he said it caught his eye for its sleek look and luxury interior. "I thought it was just a beautiful car!", Steve tells us.
"Six months ago an old friend rang me and said he had seen the car in a museum in America. This of course started my son Michael tracking this information until finally locating it. It is a credit to those people who have owned the Olds since I sold it in 1981 to Darrell Cawthorn in Sydney.
This 1947 Packard Clipper Deluxe Eight sedan is our newest addition to LeMay-America's Car Museum Collection. The car was donated by Club Auto Member, Christopher Bayley of Seattle. Mr. Bayley states "To me the Dutch Darrin designed Clipper is the most beautiful "modern" Packard. Some of us even think the Silver Cloud I Rolls Royce and comparable Bentley mimicked the look of these cars."
As we move into summer, Americans start polishing off the collector car and getting out the BBQ. I never put the two activities together other than they are both favorite summer pastimes, however they are both closely related thanks to Henry Ford. I found the start of this article in our archives which was submitted by museum volunteer John Austin , who is the former President of the Galloping Gertie Model A Ford Club of Tacoma Washington.
Model T's Ford bodies are composed of a sheet metal skin over a wooden frame. Henry Ford produced over 15 million Model T's over its 19-year run (1908-1927), and simultaneously produced vast quantities of wood waste.
E.G. Kingsford, a relative of Mr. Ford who owned a Ford dealership and also happened to be a real estate agent, engineered the purchase of over 313,000 acres of land on the Michigan Upper Peninsula upon which a sawmill and wooden auto parts plant were built in 1920. Soon after Ford, who was known as a notoriously frugal businessman, partnered with Kingsford and founded the Kingsford Company to reclaim saleable byproducts from the manufacturing waste. For every ton of scrap wood produced, this plant was able to extract 610 pounds of charcoal. This charcoal was manufactured into briquettes and sold under the name Ford Charcoal Briquettes. Now a ready source for outdoor cooking, this was the beginning of Americans cooking and barbecuing with charcoal.
Briquettes were re-named Kingsford Charcoal Briquettes (in honor of E.G.) a brand that still exists today. As a result of his entrepreneurial sense, Henry Ford is credited as forming the foundations of two industries both the automobile industry and the charcoal briquette industry.
I frequently receive calls asking for information on auto appraisers and whom we would recommend for them to contact. Appraising an automobile takes a professional who specializes in your particular era of vehicle. Therefore, it would be difficult for one to recommend an appraiser for all vehicles. I usually recommend contacting verified appraisal organizations, and requesting a list of appraisers in their area.
Always interview potential appraisers before you give one the job. Before you hire an appraiser, ask each of them:
Auto Appraisers Group (AAG), headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia is one such source for locating an appraiser qualified to assess the value of your vehicle. They have a very informative website on how to select an appraiser.
International Society of Appraisers (ISA), headquartered in Chicago, Illinois is another source one can explore. The ISA appraiser lists are not limited to just automobiles; appraisers of collectibles, jewelry furniture and more can be found.
International Automotive Appraisers Association (IAAA), headquartered in Montvale, NJ boasts a membership of certified Professional Appraisers from the United States, Australia, Canada and Puerto Rico.
I had the pleasure last night to attend the Washington State Hot Rod Hall of Fame's Annual awards banquet at the Tacoma Convention Center. For those of you who have not attended this event in the past, I would recommend making it next year: the 2011 banquet will be held at the Everett Holiday Inn in conjunction with the Cruizin' to Colby show.
In addition to a large and enthusiastic crowd (estimated to be over 600), there was a nice selection of raffle prizes and several new inductees were named, in addition to the 40+ past inductees who were honored:
Outstanding Young Hot Rodders:
- Andy Patton
- Nick Lampert
50 Year Club Awards:
- Beach Barons
- Mo-Taters
- Pacific NW Region Porsche Club
- Pushrods of Hoquiam, Rakers
2010 Club of the Year:
- Seattle Rod-Tiques
Inducted Members:
- Don Amundson
- Larry Berkovich
- Jon Byers
- Russ Divers
- Mike Mooney
- Henry Nelson
$7,000 was raised for the favorite charity of the group, The Burned Children Recovery Foundation, and an announcement was made about the reforming of the Northwest Car Club Council. The Council was originally formed about 50 years ago to help legitimize the car clubs of the era and the stated mission today is to advocate the hobby to the many young people who will become the future of the hobby.
MC Lance Lambert did an outstanding job of both keeping the event going, and having some fun along the way!
The cars live again! Vehicles that have been released for sale by the Collection committee have been going to good homes and we are receiving regular updates from many of the new owners with regard to their restoration efforts of vehicles purchased from the museum.
Recently, for example, the collection committee released for sale a 1956 Studebaker Goldenhawk which had turned out to actually be made from parts of two Goldenhawk years, 1956 and 1957. The front end, frame and interior was the 1956, the rear fins, trunk lid, doors, dash and engine was from a 1957.
This car turned out to be quite controversial among Studebaker purists, but new owners felt the car had merit. The car was purchased by Jim and Stephanie Bell from Bellingham, Washington for the Bell Studebaker Museum. The Bells have started a museum full of rare or unusual Studes, currently housing 75 Studebakers, going as far back to the days when Studebaker was a premier maker of wagons. The Bells were thrilled to be able to add this car to their stable. Jim has all the parts to get the car running again, which will include re-fitting the engine with the missing supercharger, putting back the stock transmission, and some of the missing trim, finishing the interior, and driving it every day he can!
Jim and Stephanie spoke fondly of Harold LeMay and mentioned two cars Harold had acquired from them in the past, and are thrilled to add this specialty custom to their collection.

Browns brass takes to Twitter, and fans respond
Blog Entry:
August 13, 2013 11:27 AM | Author: KEVIN KLEPS
Browns president Alec Scheiner
isn't as active on Twitter as Kevin Griffin
, whom he hired as the team's vice president of fan experience and marketing in May. But Scheiner is well aware of the value Twitter provides to organizations such as the Browns.
The team's new regime is trying to mend fences with a fan base that seemed to feel a disconnect with prior front offices, and social media has helped Griffin, Scheiner and Co. gather feedback in their effort to revamp how fans experience game day.
"I'm not sure there's any way to learn about this stuff without interacting with our fans," Scheiner said. "Twitter is this incredible medium where you can get feedback instantaneously from a lot of people. So Kevin's doing it, a guy named Brent Stehlik (the Browns' chief revenue officer) in our organization is doing it, and I'm doing it. I really find it invaluable because you can get a sense of where you're on the right track and where you're off track."
If you go by reaction on the primary vehicle the Browns are using to generate feedback — Twitter — the front office's efforts have been well received.
It's a stark contrast from the days of Mike Holmgren.
"I don't spend too much time worrying about the people before us," Scheiner said. "What I will say is I think fans want access, and we understand that. We're going to give as much access as we can without losing a competitive advantage."
A few more highlights from a recent interview with Scheiner, who
was hired in December
after eight years with the Cowboys (the last five as senior VP and general counsel):
On Griffin's idea of holding weiner dog races, which are expected to make their Browns debut at halftime of Thursday's preseason game:
"It made me laugh the first time I heard it, but apparently fans love them. We'll try it and see how it goes."
On the Browns' capacity numbers (the percentage of the stadium that is filled on game day) lagging behind the majority of the NFL since 2009
: "Joe (Banner) has talked about it, but this has been a good offseason for us with respect to that. We've sold more new season tickets than at any time since 1999. And our (season-ticket) renewal percentage is 94, which is higher than in past years. So if you just look at those two things, we're confident that we're going to have a sold-out building."
On the possibility of new uniforms:
"We're looking at everything. We can commit to everyone that we will look at everything. It's one of those things that if you haven't heard about it yet from us, it just means we're studying it and looking at it."
On FirstEnergy Stadium getting a new scoreboard:
That's what we're looking at with the architects and the contractors right now, and if we go forward with the renovations, those are the kinds of things we'll look at."
On the costs of the renovations,
which have been estimated at more than $100 million
"I think it's premature to talk about numbers. We're not far enough along."
Numbers Scheiner doesn't mind discussing: The Browns' use of analytics.
Scheiner brought sabermetrics to the Cowboys, and with Banner's encouragement, the Browns are crunching the numbers, too.
"Anything I can do to help the organization, I will," Scheiner said.
Ken Kovash followed Scheiner to Cleveland from Dallas, where the former was in charge of analytics for the Cowboys. Kovash is the Browns' director of football research and a player personnel assistant.
Eventually, he'll have a numbers team in Berea.
"We'll build out that department," Scheiner said of the analytics crew.
When asked how big the department could get, he said, "Oh, I don't know."
That vague answer aside, the fact the Browns aren't ruling anything out and are open to suggestions from the guys and gals who don jerseys on game day just to yell from their couches is refreshing.
It's pretty much the opposite of
this press conference
Tribe's timing is way off
The Indians couldn't have picked a much worse time to get cold.
As the Tribe has lost seven of its last eight games — including a combined three of four to the Angels (53-64) and Twins (53-63) — the Royals have won eight of 10 to surge a half-game ahead of Cleveland in the American League wild-card race.
Kansas City is 19-5 since the All-Star break and is within four games of Tampa Bay for the AL's second wild card. Texas, meanwhile, has won eight in a row and 13 of 14 to vault ahead of Oakland in the AL West.
The only positive for the Indians in all of this is the Rays have lost five straight. Still, Tampa is 4½ games ahead of the Tribe — and six up in the loss column — in the wild-card race.
While we're here, did anyone else catch the annoyed tone in Tom Hamilton's voice Monday night when the Tribe's play-by-play announcer gave the attendance at Target Field? The "rebuilding" Twins, as Hamilton was quick to point out, drew a crowd of 30,922 to see the Indians on a Monday night.
Hamilton's translation: Step up your game, Tribe fans.
You can
follow me on Twitter
for sports information and analysis, but I won't be able to provide insight from the Browns' top-secret analytics meetings.

On May 10th 2013 I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Canterbury for a few hours during a formation and of course I took some panoramas.
Handheld with a light pole that is suppose to offer a wider horizon besides an interesting perspective.
Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights. In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states. Text by Steve Smith.

Dear Editors,
Proto Thema, the most popular newspaper in Greece, in the front page of its 23/06/2013 issue, reports that Greek Police has registered 800 paedophiles that they know of, who are free.
Legal technicalities prevent their capture.
Furthermore, 10% of Greek children are victims of sexual abuse.
Many paedophiles still work as teachers in public schools and summer camps.
Their names cannot be publicly disclosed.
Unfortunately, such legal issues highly increase the risk for children in Greece.
Psychosis in children of abused women?
Dear Editors,
Verbal, physical, psychological, sexual abuse, are even more stressful to women.
They are also widespread. [1][2]
Psychosis in children of these women could be even more prominent and persistent.
