Thoracic surgeon Nabil Rizk answers questions about lung cancer that friends of Memorial Sloan Kettering asked on our Facebook page.
In the past few weeks we have received many great questions about lung cancer on our Facebook page. Thanks to all Memorial Sloan Kettering fans who engaged!
Here are some of these questions and my answers.
Both of my parents have smoked for more than twenty years. What kind of tests should they have as part of lung cancer screening?
This depends on your parents' ages and the total amount they have smoked.
Our screening program provides low-dose CT screening for people who are between the ages of 55 and 74 and who have smoked 30 or more pack years. Pack years is the number of years someone has smoked multiplied by the number of packs of cigarettes they smoked per day. For example, one pack per day for 30 years or two packs per day for 15 years is equal to 30 pack years.
If your parents are not in those categories, there is no evidence that screening will benefit them.Back to top
What role do the services offered at the Bendheim Integrative Medicine Center play in the treatment plan?
Integrative medicine therapies do not treat the cancer; instead, they reduce the symptoms caused by cancer and its treatment, using massage and mind-body therapies, yoga and t'ai chi, and physical fitness classes for patients at all levels.
Breathing difficulties related to lung cancer can be reduced with these evidence-based therapies, and research shows that fitness activities also can produce survival benefits.
In addition, some of the offerings at Bendheim, including relaxation techniques, can help people quit smoking. At Memorial Sloan Kettering we offer a Tobacco Cessation Program that is open to everyone — people with cancer as well as others who would like to quit.Back to top
Which chemotherapy agents are used for lung cancer?
The type of drugs you receive will depend on what kind of lung cancer you have— adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, large cell lung cancer, or small cell lung cancer.Back to top
What is the benefit of having DNA from a lung tumor sequenced?
At Memorial Sloan Kettering we routinely analyze the DNA of all non-small cell lung cancer patients we treat. The genetic targets that we are able to identify for the most part do not inform the type of standard chemotherapy agents that are administered, but we can target tumors with specific drugs when certain mutations are identified.Back to top
Is lung cancer that is not linked to smoking genetic? Or is it a type of cancer that can happen to anyone even if there's no cancer history in the family?
There is an inherited genetic component to lung cancer, independent of smoking. A family history of lung cancer is associated with a higher risk of lung cancer, both in smokers and in nonsmokers.
Our Clinical Genetics Service can help you understand your risk for lung cancer. We offer genetic counseling and testing and can assist you in making informed medical decisions.Back to top
Would regular chest x-rays help detect lung cancer in earlier stages? Does the modern x-ray pick up lung cancer earlier than it did 25 years ago?
Having a chest x-ray has been proven in multiple trials to be no better than not having a chest x-ray in terms of being able to detect lung cancers at an early enough stage, where detection can have an impact on survival. Only low-dose chest CT scans should be used for the purpose of lung cancer screening.Back to top
Are there early warning signs of lung cancer?
Unfortunately, most lung cancers do not cause symptoms until they are more advanced in stage. Patients who present with symptoms almost always have a more advanced stage. This is why screening rather than waiting for symptoms is so important for those who are at highest risk of developing the disease.Back to top
I smoked for about 25 years and I quit about 15 years ago. Am I still at risk of lung cancer?
I'm glad to hear that you quit! Some of the damage done to the lungs from smoking can be permanent, some damage is reversible with time after quitting, and some damage may continue to progress despite quitting. The risk to getting lung cancer is partly due to how much you smoked and how long ago you quit.Back to top
If someone is in her eighties and diagnosed with lung cancer, are you still able to operate?
At Memorial Sloan Kettering, we don't consider age as a reason to not operate on a lung cancer patient. Rather, my fellow surgeons and I use objective tests such as lung function tests and also look at the patient's overall health to determine if an operation can be done safely.Back to top
I've been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. Should I consider participation in a clinical trial?
This is a question to discuss with your physician. There are standard and effective first-line treatments for patients who have been newly diagnosed with advanced-stage lung cancer. Clinical trials are most commonly reserved for patients who did not benefit from standard treatments.Back to top
In October of 2011 I was diagnosed with lung cancer which has matastasized to my adrenal glands. My oncolgist has had me on avastin along with a clinical trial drug (met pack). The treatment is showing mostly positive results. The first three cat scans showed improvement the fourth scan showed the cancer increasing and the last one showed that it had stabilized. The side effects are that I suffer alot from Chemo Brain and neuropathy. My question, sir, what do you think of Avastin I have beern told that it is the best drug out there for lung cancer, and would very much kike to know your opinion.

I am a 61 yr old teacher. i had stage 0 breast ca followed by a mastectomy in 1998. Lung CA in 2004 upper left lobe removed - bronchioaveola. Chemo was with cisplatin In sept 2013 R lung Ca Andeno carcinoma 2 tumors removed (1 in upper lobe-1 in lower lobe) No lymph-node involvement in all 3 cancers.My oncologist did genetic testing and no one van say if this recent lung ca is stage 1 - two primary lung Ca or stage 3) Is there anything else I can do . the tumor board said chemo would not be beneficial as all ca was surgically removed. Your thoughts please! Thank you!

Hi, Vic, we forwarded your question to Dr. Rizk, who said,
"There are risks associated with chemotherapy.
In order to derive a benefit from chemotherapy, there needs to be a significant risk for recurrence. Stage IB does not have a high enough risk of recurrence to justify the added risks of chemotherapy."
Thank you for your comment.
I have 4 nodules in my lungs biggest 4mm glass like appearance. I had a ct scan in 2012 showed emphezem in top of both lungs and a spot not identified. Had another ct scan in dec 2013 showing these nodules I mentioned. Having another scan June 2014 these are all reg ct scans no low dose or contrast. Am I having the correct follow up? If new scan shows growth or more nodules what is the next step that should be done. I don't want to wait till they get too big then be a bigger problem. I am a long time smoker trying to quit. I just want to get the best care and advice. Any imput about follow up would be appreciated

CdnoilRam's ongoing build
The building of "Charon". A 2007 Brilliant Black Quad Cab SLT 4x4 that became something so much more than I ever imagined it could be... and it still ain't done...
Firstly, the name never developed until about a year after a had the truck and I'd made some fairly simple mods, but as soon as I saw the 'Reaper' grille badge from Billet Technologies (since discontinued, sorry guys) I knew how I wanted it to go.
This whole story started with my dad's '98 extended cab 2500 360cu. After we moved to North America it was the 2nd truck my dad bought, the first was a '95 F-150 reg cab, and it was a good truck, but nothing compared to the 2500 once we upgraded. I loved that truck; powerful, reliable, and more importantly at the age of 16 having a drivers liscence and access to a 3/4 ton, you became the go-to guy for getting gear out to the favorite camping/drinking spot every weekend. The first truck I owned myself was a '98 electric blue dakota clubcab 2wd v6. I had such high (or low hopes) for that truck, but it was my vehicle for getting around in university, and it just wasn't practical to do the static drop I wanted since it was used in Ottawa year-round. Once I moved to Alberta, the dakota just didn't cut it out here, there were 'REAL' trucks out this way. Fortune smiled on me when I met my soon-wife-to-be Melanie, and after a year we moved in together and I had said that when we moved in together I'd upgrade my truck. I had time, and I had the money, so I spent 4 months looking for the right deal. That was in '08, you remember, when gas prices were 'high' at $.90/L and everyone was trying to get rid of their 'gas guzzlers'. I found my Ram on a lot for $17K, it was 1 year old, 50,000kms, and I traded in my Dakota for another $2000 off, so I laid down the $15,000 in cash and walked away with my new truck, free and clear from day 1!
After owning it for about 3 weeks, I was quite unhappy about the '3D' taillights, and I started looking in all the truck magazines for replacements... this is how it all starts kids. Yes, the tail lights were my 'gateway' mod. I picked up a set of Recon smoked tails + 3rd brake light closely followed by a Borla dual rear exhaust and AirAid CAI.
I love the look so much, and so did the guy that stole my tail lights and tail gate when I was at work... So I went overboard, ordered new taillights, a tailgate from a yard and had it repainted to match the BB. I also figured that since it was in getting the replacement under warranty that I'd also get the tailgate shaved and a bolt-in urethane roll pan. The roll pan did entail losing my factory hitch, but I never towed anything at the time so no big loss. I was however paranoid about security now, so I also picked up a roll-n-lock tonneau cover which locked the tailgate as well, perfect, now it's secure.
I also had some focus on the front, and I didn't want to be like all the other trucks out there, so I went with a set of AnzoUSA Black projector halo heads and swapped hoods with a Suncoast ram air hood. Everytime I've looked at mods, I had always said they had to be practical, not just for show, so any hood I got HAD to be functional, so that ruled out about 75% of hoods out there. When I saw the Suncoast, I was sold. So the front end got some loving. I did also replace the mirrors with the Street Scenes CalVue dual signal mirrors because I wanted the signals on the mirrors, never an option with the 3rd gens.
After that first summer of mods I was already looking for the next thing. This is when I found the Z............
I hate you all
After seeing lots of amazing rigs on here I made the decision to 'murder' the truck, and it was all downhill from there. Over that winter I started ordering mods, piling them in a corner of our tiny little 500sqft condo, and every week the pile got bigger and bigger until the gf said I had to stop or she'd start throwing them off the balcony to make room. That winter I purchased an RBP 2-window RL grille, OEM fog light assembly, a bumper cover, BT underhood kit, the 'Reaper' nose badge, amber interior LED lights, LED turn signals, LED taillight bar, HIDs, electric fan, fan shoud delete, and lastly a few cans of vinyl dye to dye the interior black. That spring I modded my truck everyday that I wasn't working in the bush.
As that spring turned into summer and then into fall, more mods developed, I covered my headline in suede, got a set of Recon's LED door sills, interior LED lights, custom interior led lit handles, and custom exterior door handles.
I now had what I thought was a bad ass truck, but something was missing... and that was wheels, tires, and some sort of suspension mod. Again, over the next winter I saved and spent like a kid in a candy store. I ended up getting a GroundForce 2/4 drop kit, 22" D'vinci Ragno wheels and Nitto NT02 rubber, and to stop the new wheels an upgrade to EBC sport rotors and GreenStuff pads. I also added some MGP caliper covers.
Now nearing what I though was the end of the build, I was introduced to the local chapter of LX car owners, the ALX club. These guys put me over the top because I now had a group that accepted I owned a truck and didn't shun me for not owning a LX, but I had the passion of a car nut and embraced the 'pride in your ride' mentality that they had. These guys pushed me to take a great looking truck and put it into 'bitchin' status.
The build involved Katzkin leather seats, a complete JL audio system including a 13W3 stealthbox, 2x ZR800 mid subs, 2x set of C5 6.5" components, 4" dash speakers, C5 5.25 rear fill all powered by a HD750/5, HD600/4, and a Slash v2 400/4 out of a pioneer 2-DIN h/u. I also repainted the accent color to match the custom steering wheel and katzkin color. There was much to be done before the finished product almost a 6 months later, but it was worth every penny and minute.
Soon followed a complete interior and audio rebuild with a little help from local members. The results blew me away.
After almost 2 years of body and cosmetic modifications Im finally getting started on the engine work on the truck. Dropping the '09 5.7L Eagle heads off to FedEx Ground tomorrow, they're going to get some love from the wonderful people down at Arrington; ended up going with the Phase 6 Big Valve work, plus on the return shipment, the crates will also be carrying a 263 CompCam, BBK 85mm TB, and thicker head gaskets (CR will be 10.7).
The heads will be topped with a thing of beauty (see below). I'm doing the 6.1L intake manifold conversion, BT fuel rails, Nitrous Outlet 85mm NO2 plate, a Zex nitrous kit, and a LMI hammer intake tube. I also just did some custom hard tubing for the nitrous system. The 3G 6.1L half-covers just got dropped off at my airbrush guy for some custom work.
Here is a few pics of the intake manifold that will be going on:
And some additional accessories that will make appearances are:
BigBully catch can (hex shape matches my washer/overflow reservoir)
and the carbon fiber LMI intake
that looks unreal man can't wait to see finished product.
When that bad boy is done we have to get together again! I have to see that in person and I'm begging now for a ride!
Wow love the black with the speckle. I gotta ask, why the thicker headgaskets? That will lower compression and reduce power. Did you mean to say thinner? Or is there some reason for reduced compression?
many moons in the making :)
Looking forward to the eye candy.
There's also nowhere out here that has 93 except one chain of gas stations that have a 94 blend, but it's 15% ethanol year 'round and my mileage is bad enough as it is :LOL: Not to mention the fact that I have worked a few of the company's plant out here and almost been killed twice by their people... I feel like I'm allowed to boycott them.
When I head to the track I'll probably be running a mixed tank of 91 and C16. I figure if I can have half a tank when I start the drive from Calgary I'll have 1/8 when I reach the track in Edmonton (2 1/2hrs away) then fill up a 1/8th with C16 I should be good to go.
Gotcha, I must have missed the part about different heads, all makes sense. You'r truck is going to be wicked!
Bout time u got around to making a build page! Haha man that is looking good! look even better when it's on the vehicle! If u need the bolts for the 6.1L intake, I have a bag f bolts I forgot to ship with the intake when i sold it! Can't wait to see the finished install!

Eldon Square shopping centre, Newcastle upon Tyne
8 Reviews
8 Reviews
This shopping centre is huge with so many shops under one roof. There are also shops outside as well [Primark, TK Maxx] . Many of the shops are larger than other branches throughout the country and carry different stock at times.
Marks and Spencer, Fenwick, John Lewis, Debenham, New look, Topshop, River Island are among the clothing shops. Game and HMV call the games afficionados .
Starbucks, Marble slab,and other cafes cater for those needing sustenance.
The list is endless.
What to buy: Marble Slab is the only place which offers a choice of ice-cream mixed together, as is done in the USA.
What to pay: as much or as little as you like.
Newcastles shopping was once the best outside of London. Not so now but very good none the less. There are 2 major shopping malls, one in the city centre called Eldon Square and one just over the river called The Metro Centre - this is the largest in Europe.
There are lots of big names and designer shops right down to the tat (second hand) shops and "pound shops" you can't buy cheaper.
But our best and most famous export is Fenwicks. This is a fantastic store which sells just about everything and is very classy. The toy store is a childs dream especially at christmas. Some good deals here and fantastic sales. This is the original store and still the best in the country.
What to buy: Perfume, clothes, toys, food (cakes, Mmmm delicious!) fabrics, kitchenware, household goods etc. They have it all including restaurants, cafe's, hairdressers and more.
What to pay: Millions!!! No seriously as much or as little as you like. Treat yourself to a Birketts meringue from the bakers. Made in the lakes and delicious!
An older alternative to the Metro Centre is the Eldon Square shopping centre in the middle of the city. It isn't as big or in my opinion so comfortable an experience, but its central location can't be beaten. There are many of the usual high street names here, though some prefer a location outside on Northumberland Street. The biggest attractions are probably the two big department stores, Fenwick and House of Fraser, which are both very good and worth a visit.
On the whole I find the Eldon Square centre a bit over-crowded, especially on a Saturday – both walking the concourses and attempting to get into the changing rooms in the most popular shops to try clothes on.
There are a number of small cafes and a pub – my own favourite for a coffee and a cake is the café in the middle of the newer Eldon Garden extension, which is slightly quieter than the main part. The centre has just recently had some improvement work done and I spotted some new restaurants on the west side of the old Eldon Square on my last visit which will be a welcome addition to the facilities.
That same old Eldon Square was largely pulled down in the 1970s to make way for this centre, something I gather caused a furore at the time and I'm sure wouldn't be allowed nowadays. One side is still intact to give a flavour of what it once was, as is the Charles Hartwell's bronze statue of St. George and dragon, a World War 1 memorial.
If you go to Eldon Square in the city centre of Newcastle, you'll find everything you could ever want. It's a pedestrianized area, with a lot of lovely shops. There's the indoor mall as well as boutique shops and Monument Mall. Its a great place for everything, and there are lots of restaurants around as well, so after a hard day's shopping, you can plop yourself into any one of the surrounding restaurants and revitalize with some food!
What to buy: everything! clothes, shoes, sports goods, toys, house wares.....
Eldon Square is allegedly one of the biggest shopping-malls in England. With hundreds of shops inside it stretches all over Newcastle city center. It is most likely thet you'll find what you need there.
Eldon Square is right in the centre of Newcastle with over 140 shops plus a good choice of cafes and restaurants. I prefer this shopping centre compared to the large Metro Centre in Gateshead as there are also a large number of shops outside on the street. The place just has a nicer feel to it.
Eldon Square, is thought to be one of the biggest city centre shopping centre's in Europe. With roughly 150 shops, it is a shoppers dream, and contains all of the high street names you would ever need, as well as department stores, cafe's and restraunts. From Boots to Argos...Eldon Square has it all!
What to buy: Anything you want to buy, you could probably get here (to a certain extent). From electrical goods to sporting equipment.
What to pay: The price's are not bad here as well, just your typical high street prices!
Located more conveniently in the city center, Eldon square has a bit more character than the sprawling metro center.
Lots of shops, a very bad Juicy Lucy, and a massive Fenwick's (dept. store).

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
JONESBORO — The officers and firefighters were described as the community's unheralded heroes, and Morrow police Detective Paul Wages was described as the model professional among them.
Wages was named the 2013 Public Safety Professional of the Year during the 41st Annual Public Safety Appreciation Day luncheon Wednesday.
"I'm honored to even be considered for this," said Wages, who was surprised by a visit from his wife, Kim, at the event hosted by the Knights of Columbus Tara Council No. 6352 in Jonesboro.
The group's Deputy Grand Knight Gregory Edwards presented the award and thanked the group of Public Safety Professional of the Year nominees and other public safety officials attending the luncheon.
"You're very quiet professionals," said Edwards. "If everything is going well, no one really knows you're around."
Public safety professionals, however, live each day in the unknown. So says Clayton County police Maj. Johnny Robinson.
"When you get up and get dressed in the morning, you know you may have to save someone," he said. "But it's a good feeling."
Robinson, who works in the department's criminal investigation division, reflected on life-saving situations over the course of his 26-year career with the Clayton County Police Department that have inspired him to continue in the profession.
He remembered he found a woman locked inside a car trunk once — an apparent domestic dispute he said could have gotten worse had he not been in the right place at the right time and heard the woman struggling to get out.
"I remember that particular day," said Robinson. "I felt like I actually saved somebody because 'what would have happened to her if I had not been there?'"
Robinson said he has attended the appreciation luncheons before to support his comrades and was named Officer of the Year himself several years ago.
"We're here to help anybody that needs help," he said. "We want our residents of Clayton County to feel safe."
This year's honored public safety professionals were nominated by their supervisors to be recognized at the luncheon and to vie for its Public Safety Professional of the Year Award.
The honorees include Wages; Clayton County Sheriff's Lt. Kelly Clare; Clayton County police Officer Melvin Snell and Officer Christopher Russo; Forest Park police Sgt. Christopher Simmons; Jonesboro police Sgt. J.P. Smallwood; Lake City police Officer Jacob Anthony; Clayton County Fire and Emergency Services Lt. Rob Lunsford, Sgt. Wesley Johnston and firefighter/EMT Jeremy Menzel; and Morrow Fire Capt. Jon Williams and firefighter/paramedics Gary Mosely, Brian Murtagh, James Kay and Davis Shafer.

As I See It
The assassination of Doc Gerry Ortega (Part 2)
THIS IS a continuation of the confessions of some of the accused in the assassination of Dr. Gerry Ortega as summarized by the three-man team of prosecutors that conducted the preliminary investigation. This is the confession of Rodolfo Edrad Jr. alias "Bumar":
On Jan. 15, 2011, Edrad went to Armando Noel's house in Pagbilao, Quezon, where he met Marlon Recamata. They discussed the plot. Edrad promised to pay Noel and Recamata P150,000 each and gave them a down payment of P10,000 each. He told them to leave the next day for Puerto Princesa and get from Regalado a .45 caliber pistol.
On Jan. 24, 2011 Edrad received from Regalado a text message saying, "Todas na." A little later, Edrad received from him two more text messages: "Huli yung tirador" and "Dalawa yung nahuli." Recamata, the triggerman, had been captured.
Noel, in his extra-judicial confession dated Feb. 13, 2011, said that on Jan. 24, 2011, he received text messages from Edrad that Doc Gerry had been shot and that Recamata had been arrested. Edrad told him to meet him in Lucena, which he did, along with Arandia. The following day, Edrad gave them P20,000 each, after which he accompanied them aboard a van to Padre Burgos, Quezon, where they parted. He went into hiding in Donsol, Sorsogon.
On Feb. 10, 2011, he surrendered and was brought to Camp Nakar in Lucena and was subsequently transferred to NBI, Lucena, then to NBI, Manila.
Aranas, in his extra-judicial confession dated Feb. 22, 2011, said that on Jan. 16, 2011, he met with Recamata, Noel and Arandia in Pagbilao where he was told of the plot to kill Doc Gerry.
After the killing, Aranas received through Smart Padala P50,000. On Jan. 27, he surrendered in Coron, Palawan. The next day they brought him to Camp Nakar and had him fingerprinted, photographed and medically examined. The next day, he was transferred to Puerto Princesa.
Arandia, in his extrajudicial confession dated Feb. 28, 2011, said that in December 2010, Edrad told him of a plot to kill Doc Gerry and asked him to look for a companion. He went to Noel's house and told him of the plot. In mid-December, Edrad gave Arandia and Noel P20,000 each and three photographs of Doc Gerry. Edrad handed them two guns, a .45 caliber pistol and a .357 caliber pistol and bullets. They left for Puerto Princesa, but on Dec. 20, 2010 they told Edrad they could not do the job, and Edrad demanded the return of the money he gave them.
On Jan. 24, 2011, Noel came to Arandia's house and told him that Aranas had sent him a text message that Doc Gerry was shot on the morning of the same day. Edrad gave the two of them P20,000 each. Arandia then went into hiding.
Former Governors Joel Reyes and Jose Carrion, Mayor Mario Reyes, Romeo Seratubias, Arturo Regalado and Valentin Lecias filed separate counter-affidavits vehemently denying the accusations.
Governor Reyes said Edrad was never a security aide of his, and denied that he gave Edrad P150,000 at Marriott Hotel in December 2010, and that he gave him another P100,000 on Jan. 8, 2011 at his mother-in-law's house in Dasmariñas Village, Makati. He also denied giving Edrad P500,000 through his brother Mario Reyes, at the latter's residence in Ayala, Alabang, alleging that he merely gave him P5,000 as financial assistance to pay a debt.
Carrion also denied the accusations, saying that while Edrad had been a security aide of his, he never had any conversation with him regarding any plot to kill two media people.
Mayor Reyes, brother of Governor Reyes, denied having given Edrad P500,000 on Jan. 24, 2011, alleging that he gave Edrad only P5,000.
Seratubias, the former provincial administrator of Palawan, denied any participation in the killing of Doc Gerry, saying that he merely sold the gun used in the killing to Lecias for P20,000. He said that he had no knowledge that the gun would be used in the killing of Doc Gerry.
Regalado said that his participation was limited to procuring the .45 caliber pistol used in the killing, through Lecias, and delivering the .38 caliber bullets to Arandia on Edrad's request, believing Edrad's representations that they would be used in a farm and without knowing that they were to be used in the commission of a crime.
When he learned that Doc Gerry had been shot, Regalado said, he decided to go to the NBI and cooperate in the investigation. He denied that he assisted Noel and Arandia in conducting surveillance on Doc Gerry in Puerto Princesa in December 2010, and that he sent Edrad text messages that Doc Gerry had been shot and that the gunman had been arrested.
Lecias denied having participated in the conspiracy, claiming that he merely got the .45 caliber pistol from Seratubias upon the request of Regalado and delivered it to him without knowing that it would be used in the commission of a crime.
The DOJ team believed the confessions with regard to their participation in the crime but did not believe the same confessions with regard to the participation of the alleged masterminds and the other conspirators. It found probable cause against Edrad, Noel, Aranas and Arandia, but dismissed charges against Governors Reyes and Carrion, Mayor Reyes, Seratubias, Regalado, and Lecias for insufficiency of evidence. The four accused are all residents of Quezon, while all the Palawan residents were cleared.
The question now is, if Reyes and Carrion were not the masterminds, who were? The four Quezon residents would not have done the crime on their own. Who gave them the money for expenses? What was the motive for the assassination? Who had the motive? The DOJ resolution left so many questions unanswered.

Defiance Enemies Invade RIFT In Crossover Event
By Matthew Bennett, Associate Editor
Posted on May 2, 2013 AT 03:52am
Posted on May 2, 2013 AT 03:52am
The Hellbugs from Trion World's latest MMO Defiance have launched an invasion on the world of Telara in a new RIFT crossover event.
New fire rifts will begin popping up all over Telara which contain various Defiance-related rewards for completing them, most notable the Hellbug mount. The event is open to all players and currently has no end date.
"A new fire rift named "Invasive Species" now has a chance to appear in all zones. Completing the unstable stages of this rift offers a chance at acquiring any of three different types of hellbug mounts and companions, including the extremely rare Toxic Hellbug," the developer explains.

Summary: I tried this board at a SUP clinic this past Sunday at ala moana beach park. The board was very stable, rode well and had good glide for big board. Great for big guys just starting out.
Pros: Stable for big guys Good glide
Cons: Not as maneuverable
Usage: Crusing Fittness
Submitted by: Monsterair on 2015-01-05
Summary: Great small to moderate ocean board for big guys. As a 6'3", 265 lbs athletic person, choosing a board can be a challenge as I am quite out of the norm.. I bought this after demoing the Whopper (appx 10'x34) in small to moderate waves. On that board, when not moving, my feet were submerged in water to my ankles. Nice when moving downswell, but more of a challenge paddling out than I wanted. The Avanti is bigger at 11'x36. The board rode in the water the way average sized people's boards ride for them. Much easier to paddle out and still easy to handle and turn. A great small wave board for bigger riders. Also, fun for a casual flat water paddle with the family as,while it doesn't track straight very well, it's a non event to maintain balance while looking around and relaxing.
Pros: Plenty of volume and floatation for a larger paddler while still being able to perform. Great board for a new paddler to be put on as balance, especially for an average sized person, is a non-issue. A great 2nd board to complement a race board or classic shaped 12'6". Finally a rideable wave board for the Big Guys.
Cons: The rocker that makes such a wide board still turn so nice on small waves makes for some s turns when just out for a flat water paddle. Still, if comfort and fitness is the goal, this fits the bill. Certainly not a flat water race board.
Usage: Casual ocean wave riding, Intercoastal waterway flat water casual cruising and wind swell riding. Fitness, recreation.

Summary: My first SUP Pete at Island Sports Newport recommended Great starter hybrid now surfing a lot on it
Pros: Stability good both surf and flat
Cons: No skid deck I added some extra padding
Usage: exercise, surf FUN
Submitted by: tony on 2012-06-16
Summary: A fantastic board, paddles well, surfs amazingly,i am 19.5 stone and 6' 4
Pros: I love this board its all round perfection for me.
Cons: Nothing at all bad to say.
Usage: I sometimes flat water paddle but mostly surf 5 to 6 foot waves 3 times a week, the stability allows cross stepping switch surfing, the bottom turn after the drop is like the smoothest silk, just awesome, i have tried other boards but nothing else comes close.

One of my close friend's from childhood is struggling with infertility. That coupled with a lot of family drama has her pushed to the brink. Any suggestions for groups, therapists, and holistic providers would be appreciated. Thanks!

Mandie's condition was so poor the vet recommended she be put down. Instead Andrew began using the Vitality Science program. Listen to his story here.
Hi Steve,
Mandie is a 14-year-old mix breed foundling. In late spring, the Vet didn't think she'd make it to this Christmas. Her stools were small and runny. She was lethargic. Didn't eat with any regularity and when she did, she just picked at it. She was showing increased difficulty in getting up off her pillow to go for her walks. And, she would occasionally lose her balance during our walks.
First, you persuaded me to try the Pet Flora in her food to attack her stool problem. Mandie showed only slight improvement for the first three or four weeks. Then, you suggested that I try adding Super Food to her diet. A couple of weeks went by before the new stuff came but it was interesting. I now know that Pet Flora was starting to work. Mandie's stools were becoming firmer, back to normal size and consistency.
It was several weeks after that when noticeable changes were occurring across the board. Her manner improved. She showed enthusiasm, was eating regularly and well, her bowel movements were normal and regular. With all the problems she had, I believe your two products eliminated most of them. The Vet is amazed. But more importantly, I can look forward to having Mandie for several more months ... maybe even past next Christmas.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Hi, Just wanted to let you know that your Canine Comfort is a wonder product! I don't now why, but it had an almost miraculous response in my 12 year old italian greyhound. I suspect it's the l-glutamine that is what she is responding to (she is being treated with doxycycline by the vet). I feel like I have my dog back...she's acting lively and vibrant in a way that she hasn't in a very very long time! Please do send me your e-book. Thanks for a great product!

Zulu is doing very well-we have him on canine comfort-he loves the taste-just finished it yesterday-we are going over to the Dog Bar tonight.
We are thinking of buying the Pet Flora as a maintenance program-one or two pills a week-his stool is solid-sometimes a little soft at the end (he may not have fully digested the food yet?)
I have told people about your product and they have bought some in the stores or online-I love it!! You are right-the traditional vets take their time to fully comprehend these products-a shift !! Hope you are doing well and thank you again for everything.

I just wanted to say that my dog "Fleetie" is still eating after eleven weeks. I have also eliminated the small yet worrying (for me) dose of Prednisone which had previously been impossible to do without. Over the years I have tried so very many products and supplements, only to be disappointed when they did not work. I tried the Canine Comfort several months ago and immediately saw an improvement, however this was fairly short lived. I felt that yet again I had met with failure to help my beloved companion but for some reason decided to keep on giving the product. I had made a few other changes simultaneously so do not know for certain if the Canine Comfort is solely responsible for Fleetie's improvement, yet feel it is definitely a large part of it at the very least. Fairly suddenly, eleven weeks ago, Fleetie's eating reluctance became significantly improved. I can't tell you how much this problem has affected our lives over the years and what a miracle it is to finally see improvement after so long. I am extremely grateful and fervently hope things don't change.

5 Fun Facts About Mitt Romney's Hair
The "New York Times" recently interviewed the hair stylist of the former Massachusetts governor, which prompted media outlets to break out more tidbits about the man's grease helmet. Here's what you
don't really need to know.
1. Locals refer to the style as "The Mitt"
Other patrons of the Boston suburb salon Leon & Co. ask for the cut by name.
2. Romney's stylist wishes he would wear it "more natural"
"I will tell him to mess it up a little bit," Leon de Magistris says, but "he wants a look that is very controlled. He is a very controlled man … It is not something stylish. It is clean and conservative."
3. Mitt doesn't use gel, mousse, or any hair coloring
"I don't put any product in there," de Magistris swears.
4. Romney pays $70 at Leon & Co.
That's really not all that bad considering guys like former Senator John Edwards pay $400 for a wig-split.
5. Romney modeled his 'do after his father's assistant's
Edwin Jones served as Michigan Governor George Romney's top aide and headed up the operations of the Mormon Church in Detroit. "I remember that he had very dark hair, that it was quite shiny," Mitt recalls in a 2007 interview. "You could see it in distinct comb lines from front to back."

flyback cross reference
hi all,
i had a dead hyundai v770 monitor. the flyback got some sparking sound. i try to look around but can't found the flyback transformer. thus, i was looking for compatible tv fbt.
there are some text on the fbt. i had no idea which is the model number.
can anyone tell me what is the model number and what is the replacement that i can use? i'll be appreciate if some one can pass me a copy of the schematic.

First of all, I would like to say that you cannot generally replace a monitor flyback with at TV one.
The part you are looking for seems to be available on e-bay from this company:
Good luck!

thanks for the url and the info. i don't think it would to buy that fbt. an usd22 is too high for a 4 years old monitor. a new 17" monitor will only cost me about usd70.
