Detailed Itinerary
Depart from origin. If you are commencing your journey from the United States, we can recommend the best airlines and routings for your particular needs. We can also introduce you to consolidators who offer discounted fares (First, Business and Economy) on these flights. This is a service provided solely as a convenience and extra value for our guests. We do not sell airline tickets to people not touring with us.
1. Extensions can be facilitated to include more days and/ or other destinations.
2. This itinerary will need to be adjusted for the Taj Mahal's closure on Fridays.
Day 1: Arrive at Delhi. You are greeted at the airport by an Easy Tours Travel Facilitator or your Tour Director, and ushered to a chauffeur driven vehicle. You are then driven to your hotel where you are assisted with your check in. The next day's plans are briefly reviewed and you are presented with your welcome package. Among other things, this package includes a beautiful handcrafted journal for your explorations, travel documents such as your air tickets and hotel vouchers, as well as copies of documents (such as our General Travel Guide) that were sent to you earlier.
Day 2: Delhi. Start your exploration of India with a guided city tour of Old Delhi. If you did not meet him the previous night, you will be introduced to your accompanying Tour Director this morning. Drive, walk and ride through the ancient city's streets and alleys; explore crowded and colorful bazaars. This excursion includes an exploration of the Jama Masjid (1650 AD), the largest mosque in India. The Masjid (Mosque) is a magnificent example of Mughal architecture and is constructed of red sandstone and white marble. It is an active place of worship and its courtyard can hold 25,000 worshippers. You continue on to the amazing Red Fort that was finished a decade before the mosque. Both structures were built by Shah Jahan, the emperor that created the Taj Mahal. The great city inside the massive sandstone walls of the Red Fort offers visitors a large number of architectural and historical attractions; it was once known as the 8th wonder of the world. The Red Fort was the seat of the Mughal Empire for more than two hundred and fifty years and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is an amazing example of a blend of Persian, Indian, and European architecture. You will also experience a fascinating rickshaw ride in the ancient alleys of the crowded and colorful bazaar at Chandni Chowk. After these experiences a short drive will deliver you to an oasis of calm and serenity, which also happens to be your last destination in Old Delhi. The cremation site of Mahatma Gandhi (Raj Ghat) is a simple yet stirring memorial to the father of the nation. Lush lawns extend beyond the enclosure that surrounds the black marble platform occupying the spot where the Mahatma was cremated. An eternal flame burns next to the platform.
There is a break for lunch.
Afternoon – enjoy a city tour of New Delhi. This excursion begins with the awe-inspiring Qutab Minar (1193 A.D.). This 239 ft tall medieval tower is a symbol of victory and a beautiful example of Persian architecture from that period. There is a winding stairway inside the tower that goes up all the way to the balcony at the very top of the tower – unfortunately they are no longer accessible for visitors. The Qutab Minar and its Monuments are also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Within the Qutab complex, amidst the ruins of the Quwat-ul-Islam Mosque, stands one of the legendary Ashoka Pillars. This large iron pillar has withstood the ravages of Delhi's weather (and recent pollution) and has not rusted in over 1500 years. After the Qutab complex you will be driven to visit the magnificent tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun. Delhi has such an abundance of amazing monuments that this Tomb Complex (1562 A.D.) does not quite get the acclaim that it deserves. It is Delhi's third UNESCO World Heritage Site and its amazing architecture and the elaborate gardens will captivate you.
From the tomb you will proceed on a drive to Lutyens' New Delhi. Time permitting, this drive will include photo opportunities at some of the following attractions - the exterior of the massive and awe-inspiring Rashtrapati Bhawan (known as Viceroy's House during the British era), Delhi's landmark structure India Gate, a golden domed Sikh Temple (Bangla Sahib Gurudwara), & the Birla Temple. The last part of this excursion is a drive through Connaught Place, which is New Delhi's downtown.
Day 3: Delhi – Varanasi. You are assisted with your check-out from your hotel and driven to the airport. You are assisted with boarding the mid-morning flight to Varanasi. You are greeted at the Varanasi airport and driven to your hotel where you are assisted with your check-in.
Afternoon - Experience a city tour of Varanasi that includes visits to some of the ancient temples that lie along the banks of the holy river. You will walk through the narrow lanes and through the crowded bazaars to discover a way of life that has not changed much over the past few millenniums.
Sunset cruise on the Ganga – Two of the highlights of your time in Varanasi are the sunset and sunrise cruises on the Ganga. You can float your own oil lamps while you watch the ancient prayer and oil lamp ceremony at sunset. Your boat enables you to enjoy a great view of the hundreds of lamps as they are sent floating on the holy river.
Varanasi is famous for silk weaving.
Day 4: Varanasi – Khajuraho. Start your day with an early morning boat cruise on the Ganga. The best time to visit the Ghats is dawn as that is when the pilgrims take their morning dip. It is also the ideal opportunity to experience some of Hinduisms ancient and iconic rituals. The most famous Ghat is the Dasadwamedh Ghat and that is where we begin this tour. You can simultaneously witness the ceremony of a recently deceased Hindu's ashes being immersed in the river while, nearby, another Brahmin priest orchestrates the naming ceremony of a newborn. Just like the previous evening, your boat offers an excellent view of all the activity on the Ghats – women bathing discreetly while still wearing their sarees, priests offering prayers as they immerse themselves in the holy water, men that are oblivious to their surroundings as they practice yoga or meditate on the banks of the Ganga.
Return to your hotel to freshen up and pack.
Late morning - You are assisted with your check-out from your hotel and driven to the airport. You are assisted in boarding the flight to Khajuraho. You are greeted at the Khajuraho airport and driven to your hotel where you are assisted with your check-in.
Start your guided tour of the famed temples, which are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These magnificent examples of Hindu religious art were constructed about a thousand years ago. Thousands of extremely detailed rock sculptures adorn the facades of these temples and the subject matter includes some very explicit erotic scenes. The sophisticated design and building techniques that were used in the creation of these temples and the detailed artistry of the sculptures cannot be described in words – you have to experience them personally to grasp their impact. You have the option (no charge) of attending the sound and light show at the temples in the evening – it is hard to understand and not impressive by western standards.
Day 5: Khajuraho - Agra. You are assisted with your check-out from your hotel in the morning and then driven to Orcha. There is a break for a late lunch (included) on arrival at Orcha. After lunch you will enjoy an exploration of the magnificent ruins at Orcha. The archeological treasures of Orcha were built between four and five centuries ago by Hindu kings that ruled this area. After your exploration of the ruins you are driven to nearby Jhansi and assisted in boarding the express train to Agra (6:10 pm - 8:38 pm). Your Tour Director assists you in getting seated in your assigned seats and gets your luggage ported to the appropriate location above your seats. Your Tour Director provides you with a detailed itinerary of the trains schedule so as to make you comfortable with every step of the journey. Refreshments are served by Indian Railways during this journey – we recommend that you refrain from consuming these, except for the bottled water. You are greeted at the railway station in Agra and driven to your hotel where you are assisted with your check-in.
Agra's artists are famous for their creations in inlaid marble.
Day 6: Agra. You now start your exploration of Agra with a half day city tour of the magnificent monuments of this city. As you exit your hotel you will be greeted with a short folk music and dance performance by a local artist troupe. The exploration of Agra includes a visit to the famous tomb of Itmad-Ud–Daulah. This memorial was built by the Mughal Emperor Jehangir's queen as a memorial to her father. The tombs sheer beauty will surprise you – the only reason it does not get more accolades is because it shares the stage with the incomparable Taj Mahal. Like the Taj it has amazingly intricate 'Pietra Dura' inlay and lattice marble screens. The mausoleum rests in a walled garden with a view of the river Yamuna. Constructed in the year 1628, most historians believe that its design provided the inspiration for the Taj Mahal. After your exploration of the tomb you will visit the first red sandstone fort of North India, the Agra Fort. It was built in 1565 by India's greatest Mughal ruler, Emperor Akbar. Its royal audience halls, immense stone courtyards, marble mosque and the private royal chambers give us a glimpse of the grandeur of the Mughal Empire.
There is a break for lunch.
Afternoon - Visit one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the incomparable Taj Mahal. The world's greatest monument dedicated to love is obviously a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Taj Mahal was completed by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1653 AD as a memorial to his beloved queen, Mumtaz Mahal. This spectacular white marble mausoleum was created by about 22,000 skilled craftsmen and it took twenty two years to complete. When you experience the Taj Mahal with an Easy Tours Guide and have them provide unique insights into its innumerable facets, some of their passion for this masterpiece may rub off on you! Explore the amazing Taj and its surroundings until it is time to admire the sun's rays setting on the façade of the world's finest monument.
Day 7: Agra – Ranthambore. You can either sleep in or chose to enjoy either of these two optional (no charge) excursions - a sunrise visit to Mehtab Bagh, which is a 500 year old Mughal garden located across from the Taj Mahal on the other side of the Yamuna River; or a sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal. If you select either of the latter options, you will return to your hotel to freshen up after the excursion. If you did not meet him the previous night, you will be introduced to your accompanying Tour Director this morning; we recommend that you consider getting a packed lunch from the hotel for your journey. The dining/rest stopover during the journey offers limited choices.
You are assisted with your check-out from your hotel and then you are driven to Fatehpur Sikri. Enjoy a guided exploration of this beautiful uninhabited city. It was built by Emperor Akbar between 1570 and 1585 and is constructed primarily out of red sandstone. The Emperor moved his capital from Agra to this city and then, a few years later, abandoned it, returning back to Agra. Visit the tallest gateway in the world, the towering Bulund Darwaza (The Gate of Victory). In the northern part of the courtyard is the superb white marble tomb of Shaik Salim Chishti, built in 1570.
Continue on with your journey to Jaipur.
Afternoon – enjoy a city tour of the walled city of Jaipur, including the magnificent City Palace. Visit Jantar Mantar (UNESCO World Heritage Site), the magnificent stone observatory built by Raja Jai Singh in 1728. After the observatory comes a photo opportunity of the 'Hawa Mahal' (Palace of the Wind). This intriguing facade was built in 1799 so that the ladies of the court could use its unique windows and observe the bustling bazaar, without being visible to the people on the streets. Continue the tour with an exploration of the City Palace, the former royal residence (a part of it is still occupied by the Royal family and is not accessible to the public), built in a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architectural styles. This immense complex also houses a number of museums that offer a large and impressive collection of miniature paintings, costumes, and armory.
Jaipur is famous for its carpets, jewelry & handicrafts.
Day 8: Jaipur. Start your day with an excursion to Amber Fort & Palace, located 12 kilometers from the center of the City. Just like the Emperors of a few centuries ago, enjoy the ascent up to the ramparts of the fort on top of a colorfully caparisoned elephant (jeeps are available instead of the elephants, if you so desire). The massive Fort complex was originally built by Raja Mansingh and is one of India's finest examples of Rajput architecture. Explore the chambers and hallways, which are famous for their exquisite designs and handcrafted embellishments. Return to the valley beneath the Fort on your elephant or jeep and proceed back to the Pink City.
There is a break for lunch.
Afternoon – You are at leisure this afternoon to explore the fascinating city of Jaipur on your own, or to enjoy the facilities at your hotel. Your Tour Director can make suggestions and recommendations to suit your preferences.
Evening – You can either choose to enjoy your hotel this evening, or visit the home of a Rajasthani Nobleman and enjoy a traditional dinner with members of the family.
Day 9: Jaipur – Jodhpur. You are assisted with your check-out from your hotel in the morning and then you proceed on the drive to Jodhpur. Arrive at Jodhpur and you are assisted with your check-in to your hotel.
There is a break for lunch.
Afternoon - Proceed on a half day city tour of Jodhpur. The tour begins from the fifteenth century Mehrangarh Fort. This formidable hilltop fort is arguably the most awe inspiring in Rajasthan, a land of impressive hilltop forts and palaces. Entry to the massive fort is through a series of seven great gates, with the main entrance being the huge Lohapol, which literally means Iron Gate. Next to this gate there are 15 hand prints in the wall, the Sati Marks of Maharaja Man Singh's widows. These hand prints were etched into the wall by the queens just prior to them throwing themselves upon his funeral pyre in 1843, as the besieged fort was about to be conquered. Inside the fort is a collection of some of the finest palaces and galleries, including, Moti Mahal (Pearl Palace), Sukh Mahal (Pleasure Palace), Phool Mahal (Flower Palace), Elephant Howdah Gallery, Palanquin Gallery, the Armory, the Turban Gallery, and the Folk Music Gallery. The Daulat Khana houses one of the world's finest collections of Mughal Art.
On your way back to your hotel you will stop for a tour of Jaswant Thada, a marble cenotaph built in 1899 as a memorial to Maharaja Jaswant Singh II.
Day 10: Jodhpur – Udaipur. You are assisted with your check out and you proceed on the drive to Ranakpur. Arrive at Ranakpur around noon and enjoy a guided excursion to the awe-inspiring Jain Temple Complex. You will be amazed by the famous 15th Century marble temple that is still an active place of worship. The main temple's twenty nine halls are supported by fourteen hundred and forty four massive yet intricately carved marble pillars, and no two are of the same design. There is an abundance of exquisite sculptures and friezes and the enormous scale of the monument and the exquisite details of its design have to be experienced to be believed.
Lunch is included at Ranakpur this afternoon.
Continue on the drive to Udaipur after lunch. This is one of the most picturesque drives in all of India. As you go through the Aravali hills there will be photo opportunities of village life and livestock, including many camels. Arrive at Udaipur in the late afternoon/early evening and you are assisted with your check-in to your hotel.
Udaipur is famous for its artists and paintings, including exquisite miniatures.
Day 11: Udaipur. Proceed for a city tour, including a tour of the fabled City Palace. At this Palace complex, explore the beautifully decorated rooms with thousands of exquisite, handcrafted mirrors that cover the walls, the ancient ivory doors that are a dark reminder of royalty's passion for hunting, the brightly colored glass windows, expansive inlaid marble balconies and the unique peacock courtyard. Enjoy a private tour of the amazing Crystal Gallery which houses the world's largest collection of priceless crystal. Marvel at pieces like the complete bedroom furniture set in crystal, discovered recently in a store room in the palace. There are amazing views to be had from this structure, especially of Lake Pichola, the Lake Palace hotel and Jag Mandir.
After your tour of the City Palace you will visit the historical Sahelion-ki-bari gardens and the local Museum.
Late afternoon/Early evening: Enjoy a cruise on Lake Pichola and visit the historical and beautiful monuments at Jag Mandir Island (if available – the royal family at Udaipur will occasionally rent out the island for large celebrations and on those occasions the island cannot be visited by tourists). Bid farewell to your Tour Director this evening.
Day 12: Udaipur – Mumbai. You are assisted with your check-out from your hotel and driven to the Udaipur airport where you are assisted with boarding the flight to Mumbai. Arrive at Mumbai and you are greeted with an Easy Tours Facilitator and your chauffeur.
A note about guides in Mumbai: guides in Mumbai are unionized and they are assigned on a rotation basis. There is no way for Easy Tours to secure our preferred guide here and there is a strong chance that you will be assisted by a guide of very poor quality.
Late morning - proceed for a guided excursion to the Elephanta Island Caves. Depending on your arrival at the jetty, you will stop for photo opportunities at the city's signature landmark, The Gateway of India, either before you depart or when you return from this excursion. Located overlooking Mumbai's harbor this structure was built to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Mumbai. It is also the ceremonial gateway that the last British Viceroy departed from when India gained Independence.
You are assisted in boarding the boat for the one hour journey. Elephanta is Mumbai's most significant tourist attraction and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are five Hindu Caves dedicated to Lord Shiva and two Buddhist caves. Your tour will focus on the Hindu Caves. Carved out of hard basalt between 450 A.D. and 750 A.D., the main cave was an active place of worship till the Portuguese conquered the area and inflicted severe damage to the caves in the early 16th century. In its heyday the island was known as Gharapuri (the Fortress city) and there is still a village on the island with the same name. The island was renamed Elephanta by the Portuguese. Although the caves have many massive sculptures of Lord Shiva and other divinities, the most impressive creation at Elephanta is the Trimurthi sculpture. This 20 foot tall three headed figure portrays the three manifestations of Lord Shiva – The Creator of all life, The Preserver of humanity and The Destroyer of the world.
You will be escorted back to your hotel after your excursion to Elephanta.
Day 13: Mumbai – International Flight. You are assisted with your check out in the mid-morning. Enjoy a guided city tour of Mumbai. The tour begins at the Prince of Wales Museum, built to commemorate King George V's first visit to India in 1905. Designed in the Indo-Saracenic style, the museum has sections of art, paintings, archeological exhibits and natural history. After the museum tour you will visit the famous 'Dhobi Ghat' & observe the age old tradition of the Dhobi's doing Mumbai's laundry!
Continue the tour with a drive up to Malabar Hill, where the hanging gardens give a panoramic view of the city and the "Queen's Necklace" (Marine Drive). The tour then takes a drive through the Flora Fountain and Fort area, where you can view the impressive Gothic and Victorian buildings that were constructed during the British 'Raj'. Visit the Victoria Terminus (now known as Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus). It is India's finest example of a Gothic architecture and one of the world's busiest railway stations.
Drive around Horniman Circle and visit the Town Hall, right beside the docks of Mumbai.
Your vehicle and chauffeur stay with you until your assisted check in at the airport.
Our services end at Mumbai airport.

Anticoagulation Clinic - First Hill
Pharmacists at the Swedish Anticoagulation Clinic work with patients and their physicians to manage anticoagulation therapy.
What is anticoagulation?
Anticoagulation is the process of thinning the blood and keeping it thin to prevent clot formation. One of the most commonly prescribed anticoagulant medications is warfarin, also known as Coumadin®.
Who needs anticoagulation?
Those with an existing blood clot such as:
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot in a large vein, most commonly in the leg
- Pulmonary embolus (blood clot in the lungs)
Patients are also at risk of blood clots if they have had a stroke or heart attack, or if they have:
- Artificial heart valves
- Artrial fibrillation (irregular heart beat)
Anticoagulation management services we offer
Since many medications, foods and diseases can affect the response to warfarin, frequent blood tests are required to determine how fast the patient's blood is clotting. We offer:
- Rapid INR result using the finger-stick method of blood testing in addition to full laboratory services
- Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and fondaparinux management
- Vitamin K management
- Bleeding complications management
- Screening for drug interactions and medication management
- Bridge therapy with LMWHs or fondaparinux for patients requiring surgical procedures

Comments about Pedro's Pedros Folding Hex Set With Screwdriver:
I bought this as a spare to keep in my truck. It's pretty bulky and oddly shaped, so it wouldn't fit in pants/bags/hats/etc. very well. The tools themselves are made from a good quality metal and don't round out easily. Nice basic multi-tool.

If you like it, yes...otherwsie no...as simple as that...
Thread: Is Tom Ford Extreme worth it?
It's £80 for a 50ML Eau du Toilette..
I'm debating..
If you like it, yes...otherwsie no...as simple as that...
Hmm on one hand digits in a virtual account, on the other hand a olfactory experience not to be missed. For me that's not a hard decision.
This frag is in my top three and I love the stuff so yes. I am at some point going to buy a back up bottle as this is one fragrance I never want to be without ever. It's a real manly frag and one for those who belong to the manly man club.lol
IMO No.
Absolutely. Class in a bottle.
It smells very unpleasant to my nose.
YES...but keep in mind, I am Mr. Stinky.
For those about to stink, I salute you!
Nice smell for the few minutes that it lasts...NO.
Have you sampled it?
I think it's worth it if that's the kind of smell you're going for. It's a little too suave for my tastes, so I would never get a bottle. But it's definitely a quality scent with a purpose and unique character.
Love the smell...HATE the price!
If somehow, some way....Tom Ford decided he was going to double the bottle size from 1.7 oz. to 3.4 oz and keep it at the same price, it would be in my collection immediately. But as is....sorry, as much as I like the fragrance, I simply can't justify spending that kind of $$$ on it.
If you think it is, it is!
Don't panic. Just stay calm, and reload....
I didn't care for it when I tried it, but my advice would be to look very hard for it. You're bound to get it cheaper than that!!
I am a big fan of TF Extreme. Not a big fan of its price but still don't ever want to not have it in my collection. I wear it a lot in the cooler months here.
I think it is...
I don't like it one bit. Sensory overload.
Kurt smells like Teen Spirit
It's an excellent fragrance. It's worth it for me. But it's very much a special occassion fragrance so I don't use it very often.
My younger brother just moved to NYC and decided he didn't nee a car anymore. So he shipped it out to me in San Diego so I could clean it up for him and sell it. After I finished detailing it, I sprayed 3 sprays of it in his car... 4 days later still smells dark, leathery, manly, elegant, mature, sophisticated, mysterious, smoky, woody, leathery, and... pricey.
If you like the smell of that fragrance price shouldn`t be a matter, there are much fragrances, which are overprized in my eyes (same counts for one of my favorites Black Orchid), but don`t care if you think "It`s your fragrance"
Personally I think it`s definitly isn`t worth the price, because it doesn`t hold really long on my skin, maybe it would hold longer on yours... And I would never pay so much for an Edt. But check out ebay and look for serious offers.
To me, it is.
Current top 10:
1. L'Artisan Dzing!
2. Lorenzo Villoresi Yerbamate
3. Guerlain Bois d'Armenie
4. L'Artisan Al Oudh
5. Bond No. 9 Andy Warhol Silver Factory
6. Parfumerie Generale Bois Blond
7. Andy Tauer L'Air du Desert Marocain
8. Guerlain Derby
9. Geo F Trumper Eucris
10. Parfum d'Empire Ambre Russe
It wasn't for me, but to many it is.
I get kinda poor longevity out of it as well, but I dig it enough that I might be able to look past that and just re-up with a pocket atomizer when needed. As far as I'm concerned it's mis-priced so I'll be looking for a more appropriate price point for as long as it takes to find one.
Not really.
My Top Ten:
1: Guerlain - Habit Rouge
2: Guerlain - Jicky
3: Guerlain - Mouchoir de Monsieur
4: Guerlain - Shalimar
5: Knize - Knize Ten
6: Caron - Yatagan
7: Caron - Pour Un Homme
8: Jean Desprez - Bal a Versailles
9: Yves Saint Laurent - M7
10: Salvador Dali - Dali Pour Homme
£80 for a 50ML is quite pricey for TF Extreme. I see it selling for around $100 online. Shop around
I thought I would like this (based on the notes) but whenever I smell it I get a medicated/Band-Aid smell.
Re the price; I'm guessing that you're UK based by your use of sterling. You could always wait for Debenhams/H.o.F. etc to do one of their 10% days. They're fairly regular. Would bring the price down to a slightly more reasonable £72.
This is a problem for me: I don't have paypal!
And even if I did, it'd be unverified.
I really want Diesel Masculine but it's discontinued unless on cheapsmells or ebay or something..
I found it to be a very forgettable fragrance.
No here

The scent is nice, but for me, there's too much going on with it. There are too many notes, too many things trying to happen at once. He bit off more than he could chew with this one, though it's still good juice. Longevity wasn't the best for me as well, which brought down my impression of it.
Tom Ford - Patchouli Absolu --------> http://www.basenotes.net/threads/370...tchouli-Absolu
If you have to ask you have your answer....
***My SALE thread***My TRADE thread***
Frag addicted? Join the support group We are too but dam we smell good!
No projection and poor longevity. For me it's a no.
However, I do agree with some saying that there's too much going on. It can be somewhat difficult to digest with all those notes.
Only if you enjoy dried fruits with your shoe polish ;')
That said it is quite masculine and dark.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To determine whether you have an inherited G6PD deficiency
When to Get Tested?
When a child experienced persistent jaundice as a newborn that was not due to another identified cause; when you have had one or more intermittent bouts of hemolytic anemia that appear to be triggered by infection or drugs
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm, by fingerstick, or by heelstick (newborns)
Test Preparation Needed?
Generally, none; however, if symptoms are acute, it is advised that you wait to be tested until after the episode has resolved.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is an enzyme involved in energy production. It is found in all cells including red blood cells (RBCs) and helps protect them from certain by-products of cellular metabolism. A deficiency in G6PD causes RBCs to become more vulnerable to breaking apart (hemolysis) when exposed to certain substances. This test measures the amount of G6PD enzyme in RBCs to help diagnose a G6PD deficiency.
G6PD deficiency is a genetic disorder. When individuals who have inherited this condition are exposed to a trigger such as stress, an infection, certain drugs or other substance(s), changes occur in the structure of the outer layer (cell membrane) of their red blood cells. Hemoglobin, the oxygen-transporting protein within RBCs, forms deposits (precipitates) called Heinz Bodies. Some individuals may experience these reactions when exposed to fava beans, a condition called "favism." With these changes, RBCs can break apart more readily, causing a decrease in RBCs. When the body cannot produce sufficient RBCs to replace those that have been destroyed, then hemolytic anemia results and the individual may develop jaundice, weakness, fatigue, and/or shortness of breath.
G6PD deficiency is the most common enzyme deficiency in the world, affecting about 400 million people, according to the Nemours Foundation. It may be seen in up to 10% of African-American males in the U.S. and 20% of the male population in Africa. Depending on the specific location, it may occur in as low as 3% or more than 35% of the male population in the Mediterranean area and Southeast Asia.
G6PD deficiency is inherited, passed from parent to child. Inherited mutations or changes in the G6PD gene lead to decreased enzyme activity. There are over 440 variants of G6PD deficiency. The G6PD gene is located on the sex-linked X chromosome. Since men have one X and one Y sex chromosome, their single X chromosome carries the G6PD gene. This may result in a G6PD deficiency if a male inherits the single X chromosome with an altered gene.
Women have two X sex chromosomes; they thus inherit two copies of the G6PD gene. Women with only one altered gene (heterozygous) produce enough normal G6PD that they usually do not experience any symptoms, but under situations of stress they may demonstrate a mild form of the deficiency. In addition, the mother may pass the single altered gene to any male children. Rarely, a woman may have two altered gene copies (homozygous) and will experience G6PD deficiency.
G6PD deficiency is a common cause of persistent jaundice in newborns. Persistent jaundice, if left untreated, can lead to brain damage and mental retardation.
Most people with G6PD deficiency can lead fairly normal lives but must be cautious and avoid certain medications such as aspirin, antibiotics with "sulf" in the name, the anti-malarial drug quinine, foods such as fava beans, and chemical substances such as naphthalene (found in moth balls). Infections can also initiate episodes of hemolytic anemia.
With hemolytic anemia, RBCs are destroyed at an accelerated rate and the person affected becomes pale and fatigued (anemic) as their capacity for providing oxygen to their body decreases. In severe cases of red cell destruction, jaundice can also be present during episodes of hemolysis. Most of these episodes are self-limiting, but if a large number of RBCs are destroyed and the body cannot replace them fast enough, then the affected person may require a blood transfusion. A small percentage of those affected with G6PD deficiency may experience chronic anemia.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm, by fingerstick, or by heelstick (newborns).
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
Generally, no test preparation is needed. However, if the individual is experiencing an episode in which symptoms of hemolytic anemia are acute, it is advised to postpone testing until the crisis has passed.

We understand that your questions are vital to your health and peace of mind, and recommend instead that you speak with your doctor or another healthcare professional. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This was not an easy step for us to take, as the volunteers on the response team are dedicated to the work they do and are often inspired by the help they can provide. We are actively seeking to expand our capability so that we can again accept and answer all user questions. We will accept and respond to the same limited number of questions tomorrow, but expect to resume the service, 24/7, as soon as possible.

New Albany Middle School recently held an open house to showcase their new band hall and boys locker room and weight room.
Started in 2007, NAMS drew initial plans to expand the locker room and weight room due to the growth of the football program.
"We've averaged about 100 kids the past two to three years," NAMS football coach Buddy Hall said. "We applied for a grant, which said we would receive if we expanded on an existing building."
With the grant, the old dressing room is now the weight room and the athletes now have a separate dressing room. This is a huge difference, as the athletes were accustomed to dressing and lifting in the same room.
"It's fantastic space wise," Hall said. "We're no longer on top of each other and we're able to dress in one facility while lifting in another."
Hall also said that the number of weight lifting stations has increased from 10 to 24, allowing more lifting time for each athlete.
"We've gone from having four to five kids at one station to maybe two or three in one group," Hall said.
Also available in the new weight room is a batting cage, which will help when weather permits the baseball team from practicing outdoors.
"We have a portable bat cage in the middle of the weight room, so we can have an indoor facility, which we've never had before," Hall explained. "This is a big deal and will benefit all sports at the middle school."

Orange and Buckeye Valley closed within a shot of each other during Tuesday's North Union Invitational at Glenross, finishing second and third, respectively, in the event's big school division.
Marysville won with a 311, but Orange grabbed runner-up honors with a 327 while BV smoothed out the top three with a 328.
The Pioneers, led by John McHale's 77 and John Jones' 79, used a strong back nine to climb toward the top of the leaderboard.
"We're happy with what we did," Orange coach Mark Corica said. "We were trying to shoot in the 320s, and we did just that despite not playing well early on. We shot a 169 on the front, but a 158 on the back, with each of our scorers lowering their scores over the course of the final nine holes."
Other Pioneer contributors included Jack McClellan and Ray Albertini, who fired respective rounds of 83 and 88.
The Barons, meanwhile, were boosted by Clay Walter's 76 and Adam Johnson's 80. Other BV contributors included R.J. Oberle, who had an 85, and the duo of A.J. Veach and Nick Manning, who had 87s.
Delaware Hayes, one of the youngest teams in the mix, was also in action, finishing 11th with a combined 374. Pacer scorers included Dominic Sanfillipo, who fired a team-best 91; Kody Brookens, who had a 92; Tyler Goodman, who closed with a 93; and Jordan Zinader, who shot a 97.
• Liberty and Olentangy finished tied for third at Monday's Hoskins Invitational at York County Club, firing rounds of 339.
The Patriots were powered by Nate Flahive's 82. Other contributors included Jordan Callicotte (83), Ryan Hall (83), Brett Beard (89) and Tommy Fortunato (90).
The Braves, meanwhile, were led by Nathan Curtis' 77. Nick Morrison (83), Carter Rubcich (87), Evan Wilson (92) and Dylan Ahonen (93) also chipped in.
• Big Walnut competed in the New Albany Invitational Monday at Winding Hollow, closing 10th in the 18-team field with a combined total of 339.
Evan Cannell led the way for the Golden Eagles with a 75 while T.J. Cowans (83), Kyle Gose (90) and Tyler Burks (91) also added scores to the team total.

POTENTIALLY deadly blue-green algae has been found on Windermere.
The Environment Agency says it has found evidence of an algal bloom at Low Wray Bay, prompting South Lakeland District Council to issue a warning.
The authority said anyone using lakes, rivers and reservoirs should treat all blue-green algae blooms with caution and contact should be avoided as skin rashes and illness may occur if the water is swallowed.
Farmers and pet owners should also prevent livestock and animals coming into contact or drinking the affected water, as it can sometimes prove fatal for animals.
SLDC's environmental health team leader, Tracy Howard, said: "Blue-green algae can potentially make people feel quite ill if swallowed or even by just swimming in it.
"We just want people to be aware of the affects and are asking people to be extra careful and vigilant when using the lakes and rivers for recreational purposes during the summer months.
"The public should observe any notices near affected areas and avoid contact or drinking the water."
Many waters are vulnerable to problems with the algae, typically between June and November.
Experts say all blue-green algal blooms should be assumed to be toxic.
The blooms vary in colour from discoloured green, blue-green, greenish brown, or reddish brown.
Further information about blue-green algae can be found on the Environment Agency's website at www.environment-agency.gov.uk
David Gill, who runs the multi -award winning South Lakes Wild Animal Park, at Dalton-in-Furness, has accused Barrow Borough Council of 'stifling' entrepreneurial spirit in the Furness area.
He believes his project would – * create 45 new jobs * bring elephants and 'big cats' such as jaguars to the park for the first time * improve housing for existing animals * add a children's farm * revamp visitor facilities, including a large car park and a new steam train to take visitors around the park Mr Gill is frustrated that the council has not ruled on his planning application after a year – although it is minded to reject it.
Now he has asked the Government's planning inspectorate to intervene and make a decision.
The borough council's planning committee believes the project would be an over-development of a greenfield site and cause traffic problems for residents of Melton Terrace, off the A590, where the new entrance would be located.
And it says that part of the reason it has taken so long to resolve the matter is because some of the application details were not clear enough.
Mr Gill, 50, who set up the park 17 years ago, said: "I have lived here all my life and these councillors are the most backward-looking people you could come across.
"How a positive project, which would create jobs and bring more people to the area in such desperate economic times as these, could be refused beggars belief."
He added: "At the moment we have four different car parks and up to 4,000 people a day trying to cross a busy 60mph road to get to the park. With our new plans we could have them all on one piece of land."
And he warned that the zoo, which is one of Cumbria's top five visitor attractions, would stagnate if it did not grow.
"In this day and age, if you don't go forwards you are going backwards."
The zoo is already home to a variety of animals, including giraffes, rhinos, lions and lemurs and runs two animal conservation charities which aim to protect vulnerable species such as Sumatran tigers.
Mr Gill's plan has been backed by Cumbria Tourism managing director Ian Stephens, who said: ''The park provides one of many good reasons for visiting the Furness peninsula and has brought important benefits into the area in terms of employment, and tourist expenditure.
"The expansion plans are to be encouraged and have a close fit with the tourism strategy for Cumbria. We're sure that most people will be in favour of bringing increased employment and income to the area and as such we hope that the planning issues can be overcome".
John Millar, chairman of Dalton with Newton Parish Council, which opposed the plans, said councillors were not against expansion or creating jobs but were worried about access.
"We are concerned about traffic flow and the impact this could have on the surrounding rural area," he said Coun Ann Thomson, chairman of Barrow's planning committee told the Gazette: "We are not in the business of stifling entrepreneurialism – we wouldn't dream of doing that."
She said members had particular concerns that the car park would 'stand out like a sore thumb' on the hillside and it was still unclear how it would be masked by landscaping.
Barrow and Furness MP John Woodcock said: "Safety should never be compromised, but I hope these concerns can be resolved to everyone's satisfaction.
"The wildlife park is one of this area's big-pull attractions with lots of potential to expand and create more jobs in the years ahead."
The final decision will be made by secretary of state for local government and communities Eric Pickles following advice from the planning inspectorate.
A ruling is likely to be made next spring.

Reuben Davis knows tires. He should — he's been working in the tire business for 58 years.
A Lenoir County commissioner, he's owned Davis Wholesale Tire on the U.S. 70 bypass for the past 40 years.
Today, Davis has a sundry of hi-tech equipment to service practically any type of tire, and he specializes in tires for farm equipment and tractor-trailers.
But it wasn't always hi-tech.
In 1955, Davis partnered with Ralph Wooten, managing the full-service country store at Wootens Crossroads between Kinston and Snow Hill. The store carried groceries, hardware, clothing and general merchandise.
"That was a landmark store," he said.
Within a few months, Davis had added a tire business.
"There was no other place that offered repair and sales for seven or eight miles," he said. "So it was wide open."
In 1964, he moved the tire business to Falling Creek and called it Davis Service Center. That worked for another nine years. But because he didn't own the building, he couldn't expand.
That's when he moved to his present location, which has about 14,000 square feet.
"We do almost anything tire-wise," Davis said.
In the early days, there was plenty of manpower to handle the heavy tires. Some of his employees went on to own their own businesses. Today, Davis has nine employees to carry on the work.
"We have a very good crew of workers," he said. "They're very coordinated and we get people in and out. … If you have good, trustworthy people, that's what helps a business survive."
Davis Wholesale Tire, 1601 W. New Bern Road, is open 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays. For information, call 252-523-1053.

LA GRANGE — For the 12th consecutive year, Wilbur "Billy" Spear Hemby Jr. — a certified financial planner based in La Grange — has received the Court of the Table award.
The Million Dollar Round Table — The Premier Association of Financial Professionals — honored Hemby with the award for outstanding client service, ethical conduct and professionalism.
Achieving Court of the Table status places him among the top professionals in the global life insurance and financial services industry.
"Attaining Court of the Table membership in MDRT," MDRT President D. Scott Brennan said, "is a distinguishing career milestone reserved for a select few like Wilbur who have proven that they are among the best of the best."
Hemby said he is "encouraged that we seem to have the right successful business model."
"It would be due to a strategic partnership with a regional CPA firm," he said was the reason he believes he has been awarded.
Hemby, a Kinston native and member of MDRT for 18 years, is the managing partner with the wealth management division of Pittard Perry & Crone.
"It's an effective network of professionals," he said, "working with over 10,000 individual clients and 4,000 business clients."
He also has four Top of the Table qualifications — MDRT's highest level of membership.
The award gives Hemby an opportunity to improve his skills through networking with other leading professionals.
Hemby, a graduate of Arendell Parrott Academy, has 25 years of financial experience. He started his career after graduating from UNC in 1984 and moving to Kinston in 1995. He works out of several offices in the region.
The La Grange office of Pittard Perry & Crone, 7868 Hwy. 70 W., is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday by appointment. For information, call 252-566-4890.

Strengths: This is the brightest light i've ever seen. It's like riding with two cars beside you on the trail. The L-ion battery pack is fairly compact and light. The cable connection is tip notch with its threaded fitting. Adjustments on the fly are easy, although I've only used the helmet mount.
Weaknesses: None

Bike Setup: 2003 Specialized Epic with head to toe XTR from various years, Fox Float RLC front forx.
Date Reviewed: January 9, 2010
Strengths: Incredibly bright light throws a long distance. The Li-Ion battery pack is relatively light and small enough (5" x 4" x 1.25" with a gently curved flask shape) to fit comfortably in a pocket or shirt-back pouch.
I got this as a Christmas present and have been using it ski touring. Then last night the lights went out on my sled far from the road. I pulled out the Blast 1000 and was blown away with the intensity and quality of the light. Better than the headlights... the sight distance actually improved with the ability to look and aim the light around corners. No way that I could out ride the light even on an 800cc sled. That is what prompted me to write this review.
Can't wait to use it on my bike once the snow melts.
Weaknesses: The HID lamp requires air flow to cool the ballast... no big deal but you do need to pay attention. Don't hang out changing a tire with the lamp on! I heard that they are coming out with a fan cooled model.

Date Reviewed: September 15, 2009
Strengths: While the original JetLites Blast HID was pretty nice a bright, the 1000 lumen upgrade makes a signficant difference. This light is capable of lighting up the entire trail, and at least here in New England, it is impossible to outrun this light on a fireroad.
I have the helmet mounted version, and this REALLY gets the attention of drivers. It has the double advantage of getting the driver's attention and temporarily blinding them, thereby allowing you ride on by before they have a chance to inflict any damage.
This light even works well in the rain. I found that compared to halogen lights whose light is washed out by rain, this light really illuminates the trail or road even when conditions are wet.
This light truly outshines other lights. My friends are not running high-end lighting systems, but when I ride behind them, this light completely drowns out two or three of their lights at a time if they overlap with the beam pattern of my light.
Weaknesses: I have the "heavy" NiMH battery, and it is a tank is both size and weight. The battery weight somewhat defeats the purpose of having a 22 pounds 5.5" travel AM bike, and it cannot be slipped into a jersey pocket at all.
The light is a little on the "flat" side, meaning that trail obstacles appear less dangerous than they really are. This could be a product strength depending upon your perspective, but I am a somewhat conservative rider, so I'll count this as a weakness.
Bottom Line:
The product itself is just as good. I've had mine for about a year, and it is incredibly reliable, super bright, and the battery life as far as I can tell is better than advertised. The beam pattern on the light is outstanding and really provides a wide enough beam to allow me to ride tight New England singletrack as fast at night as during the day.
The version of the Blast I have does not have fancy features such as a battery gauge, different light outputs, etc. I am not a 24 hour racer, so this doesn't really matter to me. What matters to me is a light that is weather proof, crash proof, and has a battery that holds a charge for more than 9 months after purchase. On these counts, JetLites is in a different product category than the infuriating NiteRider and NightSun products I have owned in the past. The fact that it is brighter than both of them put together just makes the deal that much sweeter.
I can't say enough good things about the product and the company. They are both first class.
