Frontotemporal Disorders: Information for Patients, Families, and Caregivers
No single test, such as a blood test, can be used to diagnose a frontotemporal disorder. A definitive diagnosis can be confirmed only by a genetic test in familial cases or a brain autopsy after a person dies. To diagnose a probable frontotemporal disorder in a living person, a doctor—usually a neurologist, psychiatrist, or psychologist—will:
- record a person's symptoms, often with the help of family members or friends
- compile a personal and family medical history
- perform a physical exam and order blood tests to help rule out other similar conditions
- if appropriate, order testing to uncover genetic mutations
- conduct a neuropsychological evaluation to assess behavior, language, memory, and other cognitive functions
- use brain imaging to look for changes in the frontal and temporal lobes.
Different types of brain imaging may be used. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan shows changes in the size and shape of the brain, including the frontal and temporal lobes. It may reveal other potentially treatable causes of the person's symptoms, such as a stroke or tumor. In the early stage of disease, the MRI may appear normal. In this case, other types of imaging, such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), may be useful. PET and SPECT scans measure activity in the brain by monitoring blood flow, glucose usage, and oxygen usage. Other PET scans can help rule out a diagnosis of Alzheimer's.
Is it depression?
Ana's husband was the first to notice a change in his 55-year-old wife's personality. Normally active in her community, she became less interested in her volunteer activities. She wanted to stay home, did not initiate conversations, and went on her daily walks only if her husband suggested it. Ana's family thought she might be depressed. A psychologist recognized that her cognition was impaired and referred her to a neurologist, who diagnosed bvFTD.
Frontotemporal disorders can be hard to diagnose because their symptoms—changes in personality and behavior and difficulties with speech and movement—are similar to those of other conditions. For example, bvFTD is sometimes misdiagnosed as a mood disorder, such as depression, or as a stroke, especially when there are speech or movement problems. To make matters more confusing, a person can have both a frontotemporal disorder and another type of dementia such as Alzheimer's disease. Also, since these disorders are rare, physicians may be unfamiliar with the relevant symptoms and signs.
Can't find the right words
Ray, 60, was a small-town minister, a quiet intellectual, and a poet. He had always been thoughtful and well spoken, but over time his weekly sermons became halting and confused. He had trouble finding the right words and resorted to gestures. His family doctor thought that Ray had had a stroke. But when tests showed no stroke, she referred Ray to a university medical center, where specialists diagnosed logopenic PPA.
Getting the wrong diagnosis can be frustrating. Without knowing their true condition, people with frontotemporal disorders may not get appropriate treatment to manage their symptoms. Families may not get the help they need. People lose valuable time needed to plan treatment and future care. The medical centers listed in Resources are places where people with frontotemporal disorders can be diagnosed and treated.
Researchers are studying ways to diagnose frontotemporal disorders earlier and more accurately. One area of research involves biomarkers, such as proteins or other substances in the blood or cerebrospinal fluid, which can be used to measure the progress of disease or the effects of treatment. Also being studied are ways to improve brain imaging, including seeing the tau protein, and neuropsychological testing, which assesses learning, language, problem solving, memory, and other thinking skills.

FFAS Deputy Under Secretary Vetter Travels to Kenya to Recognize World Food Program Projects and Their Impact on Food Security
I recently returned from Nairobi, where I got a firsthand look at USDA's food aid programs. Due to volcanic ash in Europe, my arrival was delayed by 36 hours. I tried to outmaneuver the cloud by taking the scenic route — Washington to Boston to Amsterdam to Paris to Nairobi. While I enjoyed my multi-airport tour, Mother Nature still got the best of me. She added further insult by holding my luggage in a city other than Nairobi.
During my time in Africa, I gained an appreciation for the excellent results that the World Food Program (WFP) and private voluntary organizations are producing with resources provided by the U.S. food aid programs.
Senator George McGovern and I visited programs that are helping adults and children with HIV and AIDS. While it was heartbreaking to see so many infants, children, and adults with this disease, U.S. Government programs are providing relief and hope to these children and families. Read more »

A new study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology bolsters the importance of reflection to learning and retaining what you learn—at least, it does if you're a rat, according to this article in the Boston Globe. The researchers found that rats that are allowed some time to do an "instant replay," from the end of the task through the middle to the beginning, were better at learning what they just went through.
The article goes on to say that the rats also replayed their experience, in forward motion, this time, while sleeping. But if you let them do what they naturally would do after running a track (hang out, chew on a hairball, whatever), they're learning skills improve.
''We have this tendency to kind of force ourselves, push ourselves," Wilson said. ''To constantly go, and that gets reflected in the way we do our science. We want animals to perform, we want to perform. Just sitting back and allowing them to do nothing, it's hard to do that because you tend to think you're wasting time and energy." But what made this experiment work, he said, was ''letting the animals do what they naturally do."
Medical Meetings' editor Tamar Hosansky wrote a great editorial on just this idea, Make Reflection Your Resolution, which suggests not only to build in reflection time for attendees, but for yourself, too. It's great advice.

Pipeline Term
A pipeline right-of-way is a strip of land over and around pipelines where some of the property owner's legal rights have been granted to a pipeline company. A right-of-way agreement between the pipeline company and the property owner is also called an easement and is usually filed in the public records with property deeds. Rights-of-ways and easements provide a permanent, limited interest in the land that enables the pipeline company to operate, test, inspect, repair, maintain, replace, and protect one or more pipelines on property owned by others. The agreement may vary the rights and widths of the right-of-way, but generally, the pipeline company's right-of-ways extend 25 feet from each side of a pipeline unless special conditions exist.

Revenge Buzzbait
If you like throwing buzzbaits you'll love the Revenge Buzzbait. This bait has been designed by a master and displays thoughtful, useful features that will help you catch fish. The single delta blades of the Revenge Buzzbait turn easily to give maximum churning and plenty of bubbles thanks to the holes drilled on each side. The wire is the right diameter and bent correctly to help this bait get through grass and other obstructions. The down bend at the head will put the hook right where you want it; in the fish's face every time. The long, streamlined head will slip through heavy cover easily and the realistic detail, including the bright 3D eyes, will look good to any bass and get them to commit every time. Long, flowing silicon skirts cover the round bend Mustad UltraPoint hook. The head extends back on the shank of the hook, providing a bait keeper to keep any plastic or pork trailer in place, even in heavy cover. Don't let the big one get away; get Revenge!

Customer Reviews
Comments: This is a really good buzzbait all around. Gets up easily and has a very subtle wake for a buzzbait. Awesome presentation if thats what you are looking for, but of course it can be too subtle for some situations. Works great for me though and would highly recommend. 3/8ths pairs great with fluke and toad trailers. Get the 1/2 ounce if you plan to throw it with swimbaits. Needs the extra weight to track properly.
From: Chris: Central Valley, CA 5/18/15
Comments: I'm very impressed with this baits quick surfacing capability once cast. The squeak is perfect right out of the package and the detail of the bluegill pattern makes it great for rivers and lakes. I've had this bait a week now and it already has six bass to its credit. Excellent bait, i definitely recommend this bait as i will be purchasing more!
From: Mark: Savannah, GA
Comments: I love Revenge spinnerbaits and buzzbaits, they're the most detailed, innovative baits made. I've always loved the spinnerbaits, especially the deep runner series but these buzzbaits are the best. I'm impressed by how quickly they pop up on top after a cast, the angled bend really does make a difference in how easily they plane and it also puts the hook just a little lower, closer to the fish's mouth when they strike. Awesome colors, great action, excellent detailing, a definite must-have bait!
From: Will: Atascadero, CA
Comments: great buzzbait for here in the inland empire lakes in southern california. From fishing diamond valley lake night tournaments to fishing lake elsinore in the middle of the day with the black color, these baits will get you bit.
From: Henry: SoCal, USA
Comments: Great Buzzbait
From: Chad, GA
Comments: I was very impressed with how true this buzzbait ran. It displays a much more subtle disturbance on the water than many buzzbaits, and I opted to use the 1/4oz. shad with many of the skirt strands removed as a clear-water "finesse" buzzer. I really like them and will surely buy more for this upcoming season!

Customer Reviews
Comments: I love these because they float. Great action & colors. I do cut the bottom of the body off because they are heavy & it gives my jig a smaller profile.
From: Adam: Lincoln, NE 6/29/15
Comments: Was turned on to these recently and am glad I was! I usually use Chigger Craws or Paca Craws for trailers, but these take the cake. Great action on the claws and they float! They do not lay limp and dead like the Paca when the jig is sitting still. For a constantly moving jig I like the Pacas, for a jig I am dead sticking or twitching these get the job. Pretty durable, small fish will nip the claws off but not as quickly as the Pacas. Midnight flash is money!
From: Ryan: East Wenatchee, WA 9/24/14
Comments: Hands down, the best jig trailer on the market. No salt added, so the pincers float. This means a great deal when dead sticking a jig. Gives your bait a natural defensive posture which drives the bass crazy. The wide variety of available colors ensures that you will have one to match any jig in your arsenal. Great for bed fishing also. Rig on a 2/0 hook and a 3/16 oz weight.
From: Rob: Columbia, SC 6/19/14
Comments: Great action and durable. These are by far more durable than the rage tail chunks and the scent is aparently better too. I just received mine in the mail 2 days ago and the bass love them. So far on I'm still on the 1st trailer and have caught over 40 bass including some quite large bass and a few northern. The trailer is still in the same condition as when I first took it out of the package. Weather hear has been in the lower 60's; so we'll have to see how much the durability goes down when it warms up. So far I'm quite impressed!
From: Matt: Scandinavia, WI 5/18/14
Comments: GREAT, Jig trailer on football head or even a swim jig.
From: Cinema730: MI
Comments: My new favorite jig trailer. Caught em with the rootbeer pepper green and dirt colors both pitching and swimming on a few different style jigs. Nice compact size and really easy to hook properly. It's easy to catch a limit with just one of these, but they are cheap enough to buy a few packs. 5 stars
From: Ryan: IL
Comments: the best craw trailer out there .. incredible action on the fall the craw flails its pincers sommin fierce also has grate action on the pause or when steady retrieving the unique pincers wave letting the bass know its time to party. Great for the price
From: Homeless Josh
Comments: Just got introduced to these a couple of weeks ago. Best jig trailer on the market, hands down. Holds up well and the action is second to none.
From: Jim: Akron, OH
Comments: awsome, perfect on football jigs. cant wait for tw to stock black
Comments: Love this trailer.. the watermelon red pairs up nicely with my lighter jigs and bass can't resist. Down to 1. Will be ordering more.
From: Hmongbass: Madison, WI
Comments: I love this trailer I use it and the raptor tail jr craw for swim jig and chatterbait trailers a good friend and I tested these against the ragetail craw speed craw super speed craw paca craw havoc pit boss and craw fatty chigger craw gambler flappy daddy yum money craw and craw papi and the power team conviction craw this one had the best/most natural movement of any out there and the fish preffered it over the others by far, we fished them for 5 straight days on the potomac river and they outperformed all of the other baits hands down at 1 point we were the only ones in the grassbed catching fish I think this bait is a must have
From: Potomac River, VA
Comments: Great jig trailer, has great action, I use them on any jig, but mainly football jigs or swim jigs, only problem I had with them is claws tear off rather easily, maybe I just got a bad bag or two. Gr/Pumpkin, Midnight Flash and Watermelon/Red are my favorite colors.
From: Dan: Shullsburg, WI
Comments: Just bought some of these for a jig trailer and you won't believe the action it has. They look awesome in the water when the claws are floating up. I have found my new jig trailer.

Great bag
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Great bag that also can fit my boots, jacket, pants, and gloves.
Great bag for exceptional price !
All My Backcountry Gear since 08'
Burton def puts quality into their products as I have purchased not only this gig bag but many other Burton products and gear from Backcountry.com and have had Five Star customer service every time I had to make contact with Backcountry.com (ie. returns, online orders or talking to an actual person. They not only have great gear but have super fast shipping to the east coast with the new east coast warehouse location. I would highly recommend anyone to make their next purchase of any outdoor gear from Backcountry.com! Makin purchases since 2008!
Great bag! love the color
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
the color is nice and bright and easy to see. You can fit a lot in it and I like how you can buy and lock and lock it. Unfortunately I bought the wrong size and had to return it.
Excellent airline travel bag!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I purchased the black version of this bag. I needed something that was padded and I felt comfortable putting my board in for airline travel, especially in the cold temps in Alaska. The bag was exactly what I was looking for, it has a good 1/4 to 1/2 in thick padding, a waterproof interior lining and it can fit an amazing amount of stuff! I purchased the 146 as I have a 143 board and I was able to easily fit all my gear inside and could have packed a couple extra pairs of shoes and my 3 day weekends worth of clothing. Although the bag does tend to get heavy quickly. My only nag about the bag is that the zipper doesn't go all the way around both corners of the bag so you have to be sure to slide the board in the one end first before placing the board completely in. Otherwise it is a great bag for an exceptional price.
Thanks for sharing this photo! Very helpful!
This might not be the best place for this question, but I'm not finding a lot of great answers online. Having never flown with my gear before, I've seen most airlines have a policy where your gear bag is supposedly only supposed to include you board/boots. Did they give you any trouble for flying with all your outdoor clothes in your snowboard bag?
I flew from Italy to Phoenix, Arizona USA without issue when I had my boots in the same place as my board along with other clothing items.
"just fine"
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought this bag for my son for Christmas. He is planning a trip to Switzerland in March, and one criterion was the bright stripe to make it stand out on the luggage carousel. He agreed that was a good point, but we were disappointed that the stripe was only on one side; the other side is plain black. Otherwise, in his laconic style, he said that "It works just fine."
I have a 157 and a 156 will the 157 fit or is there a lot of extra room
Fully packed bag.
See review below for all of what's in there. It's a lot.
Exactly what I wanted.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Living in Atlanta, I don't get many chances to snowboard. So I fly out west. I bought this bag to take all my crap out for a week or two in Utah this year. Very pleased with my purchase.
I have a 155 and 154 length board, and bought the 156 bag. I fit the two boards, one set of bindings, boots, helmet, jacket, pants, gloves, goggles, all my tuning gear including an iron, and some dirty clothes in here. Granted, it was a bit tight, but it fit, and the bag was great.
The lack of wheels on the back can make for a sore shoulder, but not too bad, and the price was right. Love this bag, very durable material, made to last, and will store all my junk back at home over the summer.
I have a 147 cm board and wanted to get a 146 bag because I strongly do not want all the extra space. Do you think this would be a problem? I figure, there may be some give for 1 cm!
i have a 157 trice pro will it fit in the 156?
So I've got an older 156 Burton bag but ride a 160 and am able to squeeze a 160 into my 156 bag with bindings, boots, clothes, etc.
You should be fine with the 157 in the 156.
Shoot me an email anytime you have questions!
Jared D.
Expert Gearhead
Will this hold two boards (bindings still attached) if I pack them with the decks facing each other? Clearly, I'll line clothes between them too so they don't bump each other much. Thank you!
It'd be better to take your bindings off and put them inside the main compartment along with everything else then put your boards top sheet down inside the bag onto of everything.

Gerrard to lead the way
Our Ben Coley provides a match-by-match preview of Sunday's action in the Barclays Premier League.
- Related Content
With both games live on Sky Sports, punting opportunities are plentiful and our man is backing Chelsea to continue their fine run of form by winning the first game.
QPR versus Liverpool looks a tough one to call with both sides having suffered defeat on Boxing Day, so heading to the scorer markets looks a sensible ploy.
Everton v Chelsea (1330 GMT)
Everton defend their unbeaten home record against a Chelsea side who are absolutely flying at present, and on the face of it this is a really tough game to call. The Toffees have responded to defeat at Reading by going unbeaten in seven, and those who expected Marouane Fellaini's suspension to cause them problems will notice they've won both games in his absence. Clearly, though, this is a greater test as Chelsea are both attacking and defending like the best team in the Premier League at present. Their Boxing Day win at Norwich was their third on the spin and under Rafael Benitez they've managed four clean sheets in six Premier League games while scoring 13. Fernando Torres is confident again and David Luiz has looked a natural in the holding role, so while they may have too much to do to win the title second place is up for grabs. As with their opponents, this is a bigger test than those they've faced of late but at 13/8 I have to back the visitors. Their record at Goodison Park is poor but that's probably not of great relevance and, unlike West Ham and Wigan, they can take advantage of Fellaini's absence. They've already won at Arsenal and Tottenham this season and look a shade overpriced. One factor worth noting is that Everton's last 15 games have seen both teams score so at 4/6 that's worth considering, but Chelsea get the vote.
Verdict: Everton 1 Chelsea 2
QPR v Liverpool (1600)
Relative to their prices, these are the two least reliable sides in the league. Liverpool are over-bet every week and how they were favourites to win at Stoke is beyond me, while QPR have shortened since Harry Redknapp took over without looking to have actually improved. All of this makes for a tough game to call, and a repeat of last season's classic which saw Rangers come from 2-0 down to win 3-2 and spark a run of form that saw them survive is unlikely. Obviously, on paper this looks a game Liverpool should find much easier than that at the Britannia Stadium and I have to say I am for once tempted by them at evens. QPR have won just once all season and Liverpool have produced a couple of scintillating away performances at West Ham and Norwich. However, Luis Suarez has just gone off the boil a tad and he's so crucial to the Reds that it puts me off a bet. Indeed, pick of the any time scorer prices is probably the in-form Steven Gerrard at 11/4 and that's where my small stakes bet will go. Gerrard has found the net in each of his last three and against a QPR side lacking in defensive stability he should have his share of chances. Both teams to score punters should note that QPR's last eight home games have seen such a bet oblige but at 4/5 we're prepared to leave such a wager alone, with neither side looking to have an abundance of goals in their line-ups at the moment. Tread carefully.
Verdict: QPR 1 Liverpool 1

Canada drops its two matches at European Continental Cup
KETTERING, England – Canada's national men's sitting team gained some more valuable international experience Tuesday in its preparation for a Paralympic qualifying event later this year at the inaugural European Continental Cup.
The Canadians lost a close battle to Kazakhstan 25-23, 25-22, 22-25, 30-28 then fell to Bosnia-Herzegovina 25-17, 25-9, 25-13. The Canadians stand 0-3.
''We had a better showing in both our matches today and improved on many of the areas that we identified after yesterday's match (against Ukraine),'' said Canada's head coach Ian Halliday.
''Against the Kazaks, we had 2 or 3 good opportunities to really take control of the match. Against Bosnia-Herzegovina we had an opportunity to measure ourselves against one of the best in the world. I am very happy with our competitive level in that match.''
Canada, Kazakhstan and Bosnia-Herzegovina are in pool A with Ukraine, Brazil, and Britain. Pool B teams are Azerbaijan, China, Egypt, Russia and the U.S. The top four teams in each pool in the round robin advance to the playoff round.
Bosnia-Herzegovina is ranked second in the world and the Canadians, ranked 19th, had a great first set holding the lead several times.
''They are a very strong team and at times we showed we can compete with them,'' said Canadian team captain, Austin Hinchey of Edmonton. ''It was an improvement from the last time we played them at the world championships and I'm happy about that."
The Canadians face Brazil and Britain on Wednesday.
The Canadian team members are: Jason Naval of Toronto, Douglas Learoyd and Mikael Bartholdy of Calgary, Austin Hinchey and Chad Drummond of Edmonton, Larry Matthews and David Marchand of St. Albert, Alta., Eric Dechaine of St. Lina, Alta., Jose Rebelo of St-Hubert, Que., and Gregory Stewart of Kamloops, Alta.
The staff members are: Ian Halliday, head coach; Raymond Sewell, assistant coach; Kerry MacDonald, head of delegation and Hilary Beck, athletic therapist – all from Calgary,
The European Continental Cup is the biggest and most important event in the sport before the 2012 Paralympic Games in London.
It is also Canada's last major competition prior to the ParaPan Am Games in Mexico in November which is the Olympic qualifying event.

Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?
Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?
As I posted on before with other updated markers, the issue of normal T, low free T, elevated SHBG remains unresolved:
(since I am unable to post a link, please put the www before this link):
Age: 53
Ht: 5-7
Wt: 178
Estradiol: 10 [3-70]
Total T: 632.4 [348-1197] - NOT ON TRT
Free T: 8.7 (L) [9.0-46.0]
W. Bound T: 55.0 [40.0-250.0]
Again, doc suggested a liver cleanse and to start TRT to bring up free T.
In the meantime, I have started Divanex and Activate Extreme to help boost free T and reduce SGBH.
Another things to keep in mind is that the thyroid hormone (especially T3) I have been running can elevate SHBG.
One of my docs doesn't put much weight on FT and uses TT exclusively to monitor. Many don't agree with his assessment free testosterone, and that it's a "small part" of the total testosterone signal thing.
For me, the decision to move ahead cautiously with TRT I still ponder because my sexual function is fine, so why mess with that. OTOH, if you look at my low free T, age, and inability to recomp no matter how hard I train and eat clean, TRT seems like the missing link.
So, the question is whether I should I take my other doc's advice and try TRT.
Where is your LH?
The Labcorp E2 (3-70) test is inaccurate. Spend $50 on PrivateMDlabs FEMALE HORMONE panel.
I went to your posted link...... Great labs......How much SRT3 were you taking??
Where was your TSH before you strarted SRT3 thyroid supplements?
IMO you tested the T4 way too soon, I would give it two months to equalize.
I have used T4, T3, NDT, and I have high SHBG, also. And so far I have not found an
effective way to lower SHBG without killing TT.
My favorite thyroid link.....tiredthyroid.com/rt3.html
Find.out why shbg is high other wise you.may be shooting yourself in the foot. Does MCS stand.for multiple chemical sensitivity? if.it does.a lot of these cases Both Male and female i ran into had high shbg. high shbg is usually due to.impacted liver or.gi function. Once one identify these imbalances shbg tends to.return.to.normal.levels over time. Past or current .medications, poor.lifestyle choices from.years ago,.acetylaldehydes from candidate, elevated xenoestrogens or estradiol levels can also.impact shbg. Common occurrence I see in Dr patients is NASH.which gets highly.over looked.
I am not a medical Dr, please keep in mind that this answer is for information purposes only, and is not intended to diagnose, treat or replace sound medical advice from your physician or health care provider.
I'd further investigate the liver and reason why SHBG is high.
If you dont have a good reason to go on TRT then try to lower your SHBG and take it from there.
I think at this point in your life is more of a lifestyle choice rather than medical reason. If you can bring your free T up a bit then no need for TRT.
On the other hand if you want to get more active in the gym then by all means indulge in the TRT.
Sometimes the cause of this elevated SHBG is inflamation and/or fatty liver. Even drinking green tea or cofffee will elevated it. Paleo diet is good start but I think you also need to look into insulin resistance. If the balance between lipids in the blood is off that's a clue that the liver is dumping fat into the blood stream upseting the balance. Stick with the T3 as it revs up the cell production of ATP and it also absorbs the fat from the blood and use it for energy. Once the balance is restored the liver should start working more efficient and within parameters.
Also, avoid grains like the plague. A leaky gut will cause all sorts of issues with the liver as well.
Stick with paleo for a while is not an easy fix.
How much T3 are you taking and how are you lipid numbers looking like?
fsh 4.9 1.5-12.4 mIU/mL lh 5.3 1.7-8.6 mIU/mL
Reduced T3 to 25mcg daily. Was @ 75mcg sustained-release for 2+ years and as high as 100mcg which sent me into hyperthyroid state. TSH pre-T3 monotherapy averaged 3.5. RT3 was elevated also. Now it's low as well as T4.
My one doc never tested FT only TT. My guess is that I was also low and my SHBG in the higher range and now even higher due to T3 mega-saturation. My sense is that it will normalize, but that doesn't mean TRT is out of the question. Have you looked into TRT?
Thanks for that link. That's a new one I haven't seen!
T3 only killed my DHEAs and raised my cortisol to 120% of range(over entire day).
Have you done 4x saliva cortisol testing???
Why not try LOW dose Clomid? ORAL HCG?(yes, you mix real HCG and put it under your tongue)
I am not a medical Dr, please keep in mind that this answer is for information purposes only, and is not intended to diagnose, treat or replace sound medical advice from your physician or health care provider.
Only MTHFR? What about CBS?(ammonia issues)
Maybe not FATTY LIVER, but way over worked liver(toxic byproducts).
Have you used /geneticgenie.org/?
The only test I know that tests for CBS is Yasko. Do you know of others? I have no idea how I could be ingesting toxins. I eat organic and am careful about all the supps I use. Will look into that link.
You feed your downloaded 23andME data into /geneticgenie.org/ and it searches for all the methylation SNPs.
Well, atleast that is what I have read. My 23andME test data is not done yet, so I do not have first hand knowledge.
I try not to post about things I have not done.
It is not uncommon to have elevated LDL on paleo. If the LDL persisits even with taking T3, you need to cut back on the fat intake a little. It is possible as the body burns stored adipose fat, the addition of exhgenous fat might be too much for the amount of exercise you do a day.
At this point since you have a fatty liver i'd say a lot of exercise and not a whole lot of food. I dont believe any detox for the liver works like milk thistle etc. I'd look into using vinegar or balsamic vinegar as it has some properties that may help you.
Also, def check to see your insulin response to carbs. That would make a big difference in the body;s ability to burn fat for energy.
What is your blood glucose fasted, and 3 hours afer a meal?

As far as zone is concerned I mentioned it because of its inflamation focus and not regarding it's carb content. I should have been more specific. For example, the use of fats I do like their approach of not cooking with olive oil because it created inflamation and so forth. There is info there that can be pulled and used on the paleo diet in this sense.
Just an FYI, sometimes some ppl have a bit a problem with less than 50g of carbs on a low carb diet. Their bodies just doesnt fuction properly. If the adjustment of the fat intake doesnt seem to work you may want to consider going up to 75 g of carbs a day. I personally do less then 50g a day of carbs but there are days when I go to 100 or 75 for few days then back it off and still loose weight. Just play around with it and find your spot.
I cannot figure out the latest weight gain. I have not consumed more calories daily and training and cardio is same. I wonder if it's because of dropping the t3 from 75mcg and my RMR has slowed from feedback shutdown or like a rebound effect. It's the only thing I've changed in the last few weeks. I have never been able to gain lean mass without adding fat, doesn't matter what age. Thing is - I feel better with less t3, but maybe I need to reevaluate and try some NDT. I really have to watch going too high on either t3 or t4 as either will cause palpitations and blood to clot up as it did twice in the last year (after ruling out all other causes).
I still also think TRT and peptides will help me in my fitness goals that diet and training has failed to give me. HRT and reducing calories are only things I have not tried.
A friend told me today I look bloated from weeks back. Pretty discouraging. Back to square one.
I seriously need to recomp:
Current Stats:
Age: 53
Ht: 5-7
Wt: 178
Fat-free mass: 133
During mid last-year, I made some progress by dropping weight to 168 w/ 19% bf and now I went backwards again. 3 x 30 min cardio does nothing. Same with training 4x/week. I look like I don't even work out.
Desired would be like this:
Wt: 155
Fat-free mass: 140
For this point, I can start a clean bulk to 160-165, the cut again. Rinse, repeat.
But it sucks taking this long and never getting anywhere after all the research and effort I've put into fat loss. How farther do I need to drop calories before I go into starvation mode, even slower metabolism & catabolism?
ah, now I have a much better picture of what you did.
First off, you are starting to cross over from HRT to bodybuilding. If you want to lean out like that and build up your physique I think bodybuilding is better suited. You dont have to go crazy but the approach need to be a bit different.
Doing 75 T3 without anabolics most definitely burned muscle unfortunately. You also have a rebounding effect from that so my advice is to slowly cut back on the t3 all the way to nothing and stop it. Let the body bounce back.
Procure some test and HGH if you want to get into it like that and do a cycle. Once on the cycle you can do;
250mg of test per week
.25 arimidex
1IU GH daily (5on 2 off)
25 T3 daily (optional) but recomnded with GH
And yes, you may have to lower your food intake for a while till thyroid is bouncing back if you dont want to get too fat.
With the diet already in check and cardio you should have some nice results.
Well, actually, my only HRT was running T3 if you conisder that HRT. That's it. The goal was to optimize thyroid function and metabolism by clearing out excess rT3 and suppressing TSH - both accomplished finally after 2.5 years of taking sustained-release T3, and then straight T3 as of late. As far as BBing - I've been resistance training since the age of 24 when I was my leanest and lightest. Had pretty good definition and vascularity. But I never trained hard enough and had many stumbling blocks, problems with diet, food allergies, gut infections, etc. and then major business-related stress - all of which took me off course from really getting into training. Now that all that crap is behind me - with the exception of some manageable health issues - I am back full circle, picking BBing back up where I left off in my mid-20s - but now at 53.
I have a buddy doing a GHRP-2/GHRP-6/Mod-GRF stack per my suggestion. He was previously running rHGH @ 2IUs and then stopped and started the peptide combo when I convinced him (and myself even though I'm not on anything as of yet) that it's much more effective and safe to use secretagogues that stimulate the pituitary to makes it's own GH in a pulsatile fashion as opposed to injecting frank rHGH daily (many may disagree and tell me to go with the real deal, but there are many sides with it). My buddy's baseline IGF-1 was sub 200. On rHGH it raised to mid 200s. On the peptide combo, it spiked to mid 400s! He's also running a test cyp/prop/phenylprop combo once every couple weeks (but his E2 is too high and his TT shot down from 1500 to 350! He is getting HPTA suppression, I'd say. Should be using some HCG or Clomid, shouldn't he? He's 9 years younger than me and his bf is 13%.
Have you run any of the GHRPs and GHRHs and compared body comp with using rHGH? Some argue that peptides aren't as effective for older guys like me, but I think they're referring to sermorelin which is pretty much useless by itself since the GH spike last only seconds.
In any case, yes, I was ALWAYS concerned over the catabolic effects of T3 and that you should never run it w/o AAS. But my "specialty" doc didn't say much to that, probably because he doesn't know this. My local HRT doc, however, loves test cyp, takes it himself (as well as HGH), and prescribes it with a small dose of deca (nandrolone). He has been suggesting it for a while and especially with my almost non-existent FT - as has every friend of mine.
But again - looking at my normal TT and my pathetic FT levels (see my first post)- and taking into account the fact that there is no way in hell I can build the body I want no matter how hard I train and eat clean when the chemistry (FT) isn't available for adding lean mass and burning fat. You agree? Same goes for my IGF-1 which is around 200. Everything I've read says that TT levels needs to be at as close to 1000 and FT levels at the top of the range in order to add lean mass. My E2 is too low right now. That will change when I cycle up. I have some adex, but never had to use it.
I never went full-bore on HRT (TRT and GHRT). I think I'm well past the point of needing to go for it. Heck, I'm 53, after all. Yes, my TT is not bad hovering between the mid 400s to 600s - but that means nothing if the FT is too low which it is. BUT - I've been reluctant to go on TRT because I'm paranoid I will permanently screw up something that needs no help: my libido and my sexual function. I think running HCG as Dr Crisler recommends would be the way to go to prevent testicular atrophy, hair loss, and long-term axis suppression. Also, exogenous T is know to suppress adrenal and thyroid function. Everybody jokes that I'm a professional procrastinator, but I just want to be very cautious because I've had a lot of health issues plague me over the years and I certainly don't need to do some irreparable harm to myself.
What do you think?
Honestly I think you should go the BBing approach and do a 10week cycle thus keeping yourself away from TRT but still riping the benefits of aas.
There are some interesting thoughts you went through but the difference between your body making something and taking externally is like night and day. If you want higher IGF levels take IGF-LR2, if you want higher test levels take test. The problem with stimulating your own body to produce something in excess is that there are feedback mechanisms that will prevent that from happening on a large scale. For this reason I really was never interested in any other peptides than HGH and IGF. Those 2 I can say, especially HGH made the biggest difference in growth.
The story with GH is that our bodies seem to always bounce back from using it much better than testosterone. Not sure really why but it does. Thyroid seem to do the same.
The part that you really need to pay close attention is the fatty liver and your diet. Now, just because you can tolerate low carb doesnt mean you shouldnt eat some fruit, veggies and occasional starch once in a while. I think youhave 2 goals right now, immediate goal is to pay close attention to your diet and liver values and longer term to loose body fat and change body composition.
You def doing the research which is a great start.
I really dont see the need for you to mess with those peptides you have mentioned or HCG. Those peptides are for ppl who cant afford or cant get real growth hormone imho. No offense to anybody
Im sure they swear it works and what not but Im one of those ppl who looks at measuring results and sticks with compounds which are able to deliver time and time again and it's easy to control and understand.
Those peptides are hardly researched and can cause more harm than good.
Testosterone therapy is keeping levels within normal ranges. In bodybuilding, doing a cycle one would go beyond the normal ranges in order to accelerate the progress. That's why a cycle is only 10 weeks long then you would let your body normalize.
When you say safer, based on what science? You stimulating an organ to produce something so in the scheme of things you still disrupting the normal function of the respctive body part. Dont be fooled by the up talk of some of these compounds as being safer, they are not.
For example HCG, ok it stimulates the testies to make more testosterone so on paper is an great thing but is it? No it's not.It is very disruptive.
The thing is that once you get into using these compounds yourself things are not as they appear to be on paper.

LeBron James has never signed a maximum-level contract. He is the ninth highest-paid player in the NBA. He makes the exact same amount as Miami Heat teammate Chris Bosh.
So when the defending NBA MVP and Finals MVP says he is underpaid, well, he's right.
But Forbes estimates James hauls in about $40 million a year in endorsements to go along with his $17.5 million salary. When you're making almost $60 million, no one wants to hear you complain about money. Even if your beef is reasonable.
NO SUPER BOWL: LeBron upset to miss game
"I have not had a full max deal yet in my career — that's a story untold," James told ESPN on Friday. "I don't get (credit) for it. That doesn't matter to me; playing the game is what matters to me. Financially, I'll sacrifice for the team. It shows for some of the top guys, it isn't all about money. That's the genuine side of this, it's about winning. I understand that.
"If you want the truth, if this was baseball, (my salary would) be up. I mean way up there," he added.
Again, he's right. New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez raked in $29 million last season for mediocre production. His salary comes from a 10-year contract extension signed in 2008. James signed his six-year deal (with opt-out clauses) with the Heat in 2010.
DUNK CONTEST: Fan tries to pay off LeBron to join
That deal infamously came when he joined forces with Dwyane Wade and Bosh in Miami. In order to bring three stars together and still have cap space for a decent supporting cast, the Heat gave Wade, Bosh and James less money than they could have made elsewhere.
That cap-space issue is what James is harping on, even if he chose his words poorly. The deal the players agreed to after last season's lockout substantially limited the length and size of even maximum contracts. Gone are the days when Juwan Howard could earn $20 million a year. Major League Baseball still operates without a salary cap.
But James also chose not to take the biggest possible contract, which would have come from staying with the Cleveland Cavaliers. And moving to Miami helped increase his name-recognition factor, albeit not all in a good way.
Still, James says he took the lesser value to give the Heat a better team. And he says even the bigger contract wouldn't have equaled his actual value to a team.
"I don't think my value on the floor can really be compensated for, anyways, because of the (collective bargaining agreement)," James told ESPN.
Yes, he's still right. And there are 58 million reasons most people won't care.

Comments: These strings are awesome. They have good texture which allow the player to have crazy amounts of
From: Wins, 4/15
Comments: I am a Prince fan and really enjoy the performance of these strings. I can't continue to use them
because of the poor durability. My strings pop about every 2 weeks (8-10 hours of play) with these strings. I cant complain about
the performance (good power and nasty spin), but it is too expensive to re-string every 2 weeks.
From: Alan, 10/13
Comments: These strings broke after about 10 hours of play. Power: A lot of power from these strings. My serves
probably got upped by 5 mph or so after switching to these from a lower powered Wilson synthetic. Spin: Quite a bit of spin is
achievable with these strings. My backhand slices had a nice bite with these strings. Durability: F. Value: Not high. Great cheap
synthetics but break way to easily.
From: John, 5/12
Comments: They broke on the second day of use. Not durable.
From: Yazir. 3/12
Comments: The strings simply don't last. I played maybe 8 times (mix of singles and doubles) with them before
they broke. I've never had strings break so fast.
From: David, 9/11
Comments: I hit hard groundstrokes when playing against a decent player and tried this string with a Prince Hybrid
Spectrum racquet. Unbelievable power and also control. I felt could put it where I wanted and my groundstrokes consistent.
Several times I hit winners from well behind the baseline, which I wouldn't do as much with the Luxilon ALU Power I normally use.
Sadly the tension dropped after about 5 sets and I began to lose control, a set later the strings broke after approximately 6 sets in
total of 1 week. Please Prince make this string more durable as it's fantastic. Similar products that I have tried are Pro Supex Spiral
Flex, Luxilon ALU Power variants, Luxilon Big Banger, synthetic gut, natural gut, and many more.
From: Jim, 9/11
Comments: Wasn't very impressed with these strings as a full bed, but once I tried using XX 16 gauge in the mains
and Syn Gut 17 in the crosses found my favorite hybrid. And it is now a combination that I now string for many others. Combines
comfort (aging shoulder), power and control at a price that is very reasonable. Usually last 4-6 weeks, playing 3-5 times a week.
From: John, Ephrata, PA, USA, 01/11
Comments: I really enjoyed this string. I felt like it gave me great spin, and didn't affect my power in anyway! But as
everyone saying they won't last that long. I strung two sticks with this and one of them started to fray apart after a day, but I'd say
that I'm a heavy hitter who has a good amount of spin, so depending on the way you hit you could get a couple good months out
of them. I'd give them a 6 out of 10 only because of the durability
From: Eric, San Antonio, TX, USA, 12/10
Comments: It's a good string if you're looking for power, but it not durable, moves and a lot, and doesn't hold
tension, popped in 4 day. I play every day for at least 3 hours.
From: Ahmed, Sanad, Bahrain. 7/10
Comments: Not the best string out there. I had the Lightning XX strung at 60 lbs on my Hybrid Hornet. Broke after
three months use. Playability was usable, but I don't suggest it for stronger hitters like myself at any NTRP level. I'm a 3.0 - 3.5
From: Jonathan, Roxbury, NY, USA, 07/10
Comments: I'm a sophomore in high school, and I play for my varsity team. I got this on my Head Youtek Mojo, and
it worked well.
The durability is fine, if your not a 26 year old hard hitter with an NTRP of 5.0. It's lasted three months and hasn't lost much
tension or frayed at all. As for performance, you get what you pay for. This string isn't especially powerful, nor controlling, nor
spin-friendly. It does okay at everything. I won't be buying it again, but only because I have a higher price range than I did when I
bought it. If you spend 15 more dollars, you can get better string. That's just a fact.
From: Matt, Clarksville, TN, USA. 06/10
Comments: This plays very well in a Head Flexpoint Radical MP strung at 54 with flatter groundstrokes. It has lasted
3m playing 1x/week hitting serve fairly hard.
From: Barry, Chicago, IL, USA.
Comments: I strung my 03 Speedsport White with this string and my serve was so messed up. Groundstrokes and
volleys and the overall spin isn't too bad I guess. This string plays really weird, I can't figure it out, maybe because I've been
playing with natural gut for the last year. I don't recommend this string for anyone.
From: Eric, Urbandale, IA, US. 11/09
Comments: I tried this string as what I was looking for was not in stock. I was happily surprised at the power and
spin this string provided - Used on a Dunlop Aerogel 100. Compared to previous strings I used, I was able to get a lot more
control and spin with out sacrificing any power. I may be switching to this string permanently.
From: Matt, Winston-Salem, NC, USA 08/09
Comments: This string has a really nice feel to it and has great topspin control, but like Zach said if you're an
everyday player then I wouldn't recommend it because I used in a tournament played 2 matches and it broke. Other then that
From: Em, NJ, USA. 08/09
Comments: Good String. I have strung my O3 Speedport White with Lighting XX 16 gauge three times. The first two
times at 58 lbs only to see the strings go flat after about 4 weeks. But the third time was the charm. This time I strung it tight at
63 lbs. Even with the normal loss of 5 to 7 lbs tension over time, the strings somehow stayed tight and are still maintaining good
power, spin, control and tension after four months and counting. It's sweet to have this consistent string response over time and it
has helped to reduce my unforced errors. I do have a habit of resetting or moving my strings back to their original position many
times during a match. Maybe this helps.
From: Bill, San Francisco, CA, 08/09
Comments: This string does provide awesome power and excellent topspin. I used it in combination with Babolat
Max Pro Hurricane Tour and I wasn't crazy about it the first time out but after that I liked it. The strings didn't move bad at all,
which I attribute to the hurricane tour in the mains. I found that I was producing so much topspin that I had opponents watching
my shots drop in while they expected them to fly long. These string lasted fairly long, about a month and a half, but I was only
playing about 3 times a week at the time. Good string I recommend it. 5.0 player, western grip heavy topspin forehand, one
handed topspin backhand. 1st serve gets up to about 110-115. I use a Babolat aero pro drive 16x 19
From: zach, tampa, FL US. 7/09
Comments: This string is great on a Prince Speedport Red strung at 60 pounds. It is very durable. It also gives great
spin and power, noticeably on groundstrokes and serves. This string tends to lose tension in the summer, but in other seasons it's
From: Anonymous. 7/09
Comments: Good power, great for topspin as well. I use it in my Pure Drive strung at about 58lbs. Looks great in
pink as well! Only downside is it loses its tension very quickly. For recreational/club players not necessarily a problem, but for
harder hitters it would make it expensive in restrings!
From: Clare, Surre, UK 07/09
Comments: This string is okay if you don't play everyday. Unfortunately it broke in about 2 weeks so I'm done with
ever playing with this string.
From: Zack, MI, USA 07/09
Comments: Good String! Love The Power!!! Its Awesome!! But They Don't Hold Tension At All!! :( I Just Got It Back
Today From Stringing And They're Already Loose And Moving Around! But The Powers Awesome!!
From: Kristian, Weatherford, Texas, United States. 06/09
Comments: Good hitting for a while. Unfortunately, they broke 3 hours into play on a Wilson (k)factor 6.1 95 at 60
lbs. Wish I could evaluate it further, but ain't going to waste more money to do so.
From: Sam, Singapore. 06/09
Comments: I did a hybrid with these strings on the crosses at 58 and Big Banger Alu Power on the mains at 56. So
far, the durability and playability of my racquet (Babolat Aero Storm Tour) is the best it's ever been! Very good string to hybrid.
From: Zach, Trento, Italia. 3/09
Comments: I use the Head Microgel Radical oversize and I use this Prince Lightning XX string and I got it strung at
60 pounds. At first you think the string is stiff but once you get control you really get power and comfort.... I recommend this
string for people who have Head Microgel racquets.
From: Hilaire, Canada. 2/09
Comments: First time I tried this string, I used it as the cross string it with the Big Banger, and it does a great job.
It's also very easy to work with, I am looking to purchase a reel.
From: Fritz, Boca Raton, Fl. USA. 9/08
Comments: I purchased a Prince 03 Hybrid Hornet OS to replace my Prince Hornet Triple Threat OS, which had
Sweet Perfection Strings (no longer available). Prince recommended Lighting XX, so I followed their advice. Big mistake. Significant
reduced feel and the strings move often. I finally replace these strings with Gamma Professional 17 -- big difference in price, but
well worth it for great feel with the same power.
From: Jack, Wheaton, IL, USA. 9/08
Comments: These are all right strings. I used them on my Prince racquets, generally lasts about 2-3 weeks. They
move WAY too much, though. After every point you will be readjusting it. I put these on my Wilson k-six one just to try it out,
broke it in 3 days of playing. Not my cup of tea anymore. I had my tension strung at 58 and 60.
From: Ray, VA. 8/08
Comments: I do not get but 5 hours of court time a week but this is probably the best string I have ever used. Many
people say that the durability is so bad but mine has broke like once in a month. The only bad part is that they go flat very
soon...like maybe 2 weeks.
From: Chase, Jeffersonville, IN, USA. 8/08
Comments: OK string, terrible durability, had to string 2-3 times a week. OK power depending on which strings you
are used to, although you will get used to it. Not bad if you have the money and time.
From: Anon. 4/08
Comments: I am a 3.5 player who formerly used a Wilson n5 with its stock strings (most probably their synthetics)
and switched to a Prince Ozone Seven strung with the Prince Lightning XX 16 (I'm assuming it's at mid-tension at 58 lbs). I will say
that it does noticeably give more power than synthetics, and it seems to hit through the ball more smoothly. However, I also found
that I'm not able to generate as much spin as I used to, so I would recommend this string to flat-hitters and those who want a
smooth feel to it when hitting long rallies.
From: Jim, Leesburg, VA, USA. 4/08
Comments: I loved these strings. They offer a perfect blend of control and power. When needed, you can put a lot
of spin or hit very flat. I hit very hard and so far have not needed to replace the strings. I've had the strings for about 2 weeks and
no sign of breaking. I recommend this string to anyone. I strung it at 62 lbs.
From: Gerald, Altadena, CA, USA. 3/08
Comments: Sounds like trick-or-treat time after reading all these Lighting XX comments. These strings do offer
good power, control and durability if strung correctly. The Lighting XX strings seem to work best on tweener racquets at tensions
below 63 lbs.
From: Moronsky, Mavericks Beach, CA. 1/08
Racquet: Prince O3 Speedport White MP
String type and tension: Mains 58 lbs, Crosses 62 lbs
NTRP rating: 3.5
Comments: These strings are not universal or effective on just any size and brand racquet. Lighting XX strings
seem to work best on Prince Tweener racquets, especially on their O3 and O3 Speedports tweeners. String breakers will not enjoy
these strings, period. When stringing your Lighting XX, the most important key to these strings being successful for you is to have
the stringer apply the tension evenly, smoothly and slowly up to 61 maybe 62 psi max. Anymore tension than 62 psi seems to
defeat the benefits of the foil wrapping on these strings and they can destruct, sometimes within just a few hours of use. Cold
weather can and usually does make these strings go flat. If all the above conditions are right, these strings can be useful and even
offer above average results anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months. I use them on my O3 Speedport Red at 58 psi for the mains and
61 psi for the crosses, as a one piece string. These strings have never worked for me in any hybrid combo.
From: Dudmore, San Carlos, CA, USA, 01/08
Comments: I loved this string at first. It has good feel and nice "pop" BUT I am stringing my racquets every 6-8
hours of play. Way too expensive for me to keep up with. I'm a womens 5.0 player who hits a hard ball. I wouldn't bother to
recommend it to anyone, too much hassle with constantly having a racquet at a stringers with your fingers crossed your other isn't
going to break before you get it back.
From: Melissa, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, 01/08
Comments: This is a quality string with average life. The spin is average to high. The main quality with these strings
is the power. I'm a 4.0+ player who uses the Prince O3 Red series (strung at 58 pounds). These strings wear out after about 4
solid hitting sessions per racquet. They are a good buy for anyone who wants a great power string with average durability.
From: Tom, Michigan, USA. 12/07
Comments: I thought it was a very solid string. I am a 4.5 player with heavy groundstrokes, and I found the
durability to be acceptable, though I started to really notice the tension loss in about 15 hours of play. The string has a lot of
power and a solid feel. I would recommend them.
From: Ryan, Tampa, Fl, USA, 10/07
Comments: This string has a lot of power. I think It has moderate durability. I play eight hours a week, and it lasted
me five weeks. It's soft on your arm, but isn't the best for control.
From: Marco, Chicago, Illinois, USA. 10/07
NTRP rating: 4.0
Comments: Strung as a replacement for Luxilon Alu Power 16L's in my Aeropro Drive Cortex. Much more
comfortable and powerful compared to Luxilons and helps to soften the stiffness of the racquet (much better on the arm).
Cheaper alternative to Prince's Sweet Perfection 16 but not as soft. Durability shouldn't be a problem as I'm not a string breaker.
Highly recommended!
From: Satchman, Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA, 10/07
Comments: I personally did not like this string. The synthetic gut duraflex works much better than this. The
multifilament was also good.
From: Mani, Santa Clara, CA, USA, 10/07
Comments: I bought a Prince O3 Hybrid Hornet Racquet, which I love. It came with this string and even
recommends this string on the racquet. I liked the feel of the string initially but it does wear very quickly. If the string would last
longer and maintain its feel I would love it. Recently replaced it with Wilson NXT Max and it has lasted longer but I've given up
playability for durability. Wish I could find "the perfect string" for me.
From: Matt, Wilson, NC, USA, 09/07
Comments: These strings are horrible. I had my blue speedport strung with these and they broke in a week. They
are great at first and make you think that you finally found the ultimate string, but then they break.
From: Danny, TX, USA, 09/07
Comments: My Prince O3 Hybrid Hornet came pre-strung with the Lightning XX. While I loved the feel and the
amount of spin I could generate, the lifespan was pitiful (a whopping 3 trips to the court). A teammate had the same problem
with his, but apparently had money burn and had his restrung with the same thing. It wasn't any surprise that his second set
lasted just as long as the first. If you aren't restringing once a week (or more for someone with a fast swing), do NOT buy this
From: Jarod, Ridgeland, MS, USA, 08/07
Comments: These string stand by its name: Lightning. Meaning it breaks lightning fast. Just randomly pick some of
the comment below and you'll know what I am talking about.
From: Alan, Toronto, ON, Canada, 06/07
Comments: I hate these strings the most out of all the strings out on the market! These strings tease you with
superior performance, excellent spin, and unbelievable power and then 30 min later I'm experiencing tension loss like no other! I
had to lose at least 5-10 pounds and then everything went downhill. Excellent string if you can beat your opponents in 15 min
otherwise you'd better get 5 or 6 rackets. (I strung my o3 white at 62 pounds)
From: Ronak, Tempe, AZ, USA, 02/07
Comments: I switched to Lightning XX after experiencing breakage problems with Prince Premier Softflex, and I'm
very happy. The performance might be a tiny bit compromised, but it's barely discernible -- and the string isn't breaking.
From: Bill, Washington, D.C., USA, 01/07
Comments: This one has all the spin and power except a little bit of a problem; it breaks too easily. I mean I just
got these strings and after about a week I broke them. Otherwise, I recommend this string to anybody who doesn't care for re-
stringing every week
From: Victor, Tampa, FL, USA. 9/06
Comments: These strings were amazing, until they broke in a week. The string is good for spin, control, and it has
the pop feeling, but the feel of the strings goes down quickly.
From: Ronak, Atlanta, GA, U.S. 08/06
Comments: This is a great string. It has a great blend of power and control. I can get good spin off of this string
too (topspin, slice, you name it). The only bad part is I break this string too fast. Both times I broke this string within 2 weeks.
Other than that, it's a great string
From: Ricky, Highland, IN, USA 08/06
Comments: A pretty good string. Nice comfort and power, until it breaks. Which it did rather quickly. If you re-
string your rackets frequently, this is a great string. However, if you're a hard hitter and a frequent string-breaker, this string will
frustrate you. Playability, power and comfort are all there.
From: Chris, San Diego, California 08/06
Comments: This string was all right - I got pretty good pop on it. I hit a pretty flat ball so I can't speak
to how well it generates spin but I didn't seem to have trouble when I needed it. I do think however these
strings lose their feel quite quickly so I was grateful when they finally broke. Probably would not use again.
From: Darren, Vancouver Canada 04/06
Comments: As a college athlete, I used this string for a while when the team ran out of synthetic
gut. It had a decent feel for a while, but durability is beyond horrible. Every once in a while it would last more
than a day, but most of the time it would last an hour or 2 then break, and I strung it at 62 and consider myself a
more consistent based player. I would not recommend this string to any tournament player.
From: Grant, Ohio 04/06
Comments: I am a 4.5 level tournament player - string my own racquets - and have had no
noticeable breakage problem with the 16 gauge Lightning XX. I typically play 3 to 4 times per week - rotating 3
racquets. Normal string life is 5 - 6 weeks or approximately 2 weeks per racquet. The string plays well for me
and is a very nice string to work with.
From: Anon 04/06
Comments: These strings are the best strings out there. They have lots of pop, spin, and power, but
also control. They play really well with the 03 White racquet. If you're seeking spin and power this is a good
string for you.
From: Natty Schneider, Bradenton, FL, USA 04/06
Comments: I am a tournament player using the LM prestige mid and I love this
string when I first used it. I soon found that it would lose tension with one hour of play. It was
so bad that I would get it newly strung and play a match with it, the first set would be great
but if it went to 3 sets my play would significantly decrease because the ball would sail long.
I would not recommend this string to anyone who hits hard or plays in tournaments.
From: Matt, Springfield, Massachussetts, USA 03/06
Comments: When I first started using this string I loved it. I soon realized that it
lost tension very fast. I went from hitting great in a match to flinging everything long. I wouldn't
recommend this string to anyone who wants durability.
From: Matt, Springfield, MA USA 03/06
Comments: This is a solid string, and it does seem to work well on tweener
frames, since I use a
Prince TT Bandit. In comparison to Synthetic Gut Duraflex, this string is lacking in feel and
there is more string
movement, but the performance from all-around is better.
From: Ralph, Florida, USA 11/05
Comments: This string does have good power and decent feel. I have had
problems generating
spin with this
string. The outer coating of the string is slippery and doesn't bite into the ball. It is a good
string for the money
and would work
well for flat ball hitters looking for a little more pop. It is a great looking string as well.
From: Eric, Westchester, NY, USA. 9/05
Comments: This string has good power, okay feel, and great durability. I'm a
3.0-3.5 level baseline
player that hits
hard with moderate to high spin & this string has lasted me over 20 hours so far, strung at
61 lbs. It takes a
while to break into
but otherwise it's a pretty decent string for the price. Plus it looks really cool with the chrome
colored spirals.
From: M. Laval, Quebec, Canada. 7/05
Comments: I am 4.5-5.0 that plays 3-4 days a week. XX works fine FOR ME, lots
of power and good feel in my Mid-plus I Radical strung at 55 lbs. Endurance is good,
perhaps 8-9 hits. When I strung a friends oversized racquet (4.5 player) it didn't last long at all
(1-2 hits). I don't know if it was the racquet size or the way he treated the racquets (leaves
racquets in car while at work in TX). I string all his racquets and regular synthetic lasts longer
for him, but not as long for me-same stringing machine and stringer (me). Go figure
From: Brian, College Station, TX, USA 07/05
Comments: I thought these strings were perfect...good spin and power...As time
goes the performance goes down... and fast
From: Alex, Canyon Country, Ca USA 07/05
Comments: I am a local club player and a boys team High School coach. I have
strung with the 16g and the 17g and I find that the durability is about the same. I use the 17
on my frames and put the 16 on the boy's frames for the perceived durability. I play with
Babolat PD+ frames strung @ 59 and I get about 4hrs of play on each set. I would not
recommend this string for aggressive players. The 16g at the same tension does not even
have the same feel. The boys are primarily OS frame players. They swing so hard that the
17g breaks and 16 wears out so fast it's not worth the little extra money. I try to say
something positive when I give feedback so... the black looks good with the chrome pieces
running through it. For my money and time; for an all-around string stay with the Duraflex
same result, costs less and comes in reels. At the same money Wilson Supreme and
Gamma Marathon is the better choice. For Prince at this price point its back to the polymer
engineering drawing board because the term "If it don't go-chrome it" won't work here.

First off, I've been playing tennis for thirty years and play at the 5.0 level in competition, and I
DO NOT BREAK THESE STRINGS PREMATURELY, PERIOD! They last me as long as other
better grade, solid core, synthetic gut strings, and longer than many others I've tried over the
years. There are a whole host of reasons why some folks claim that this or that string breaks
after one minute, or one set or...(insert your broke-too-soon play time here), and most of
these can be attributed to poor stringing on a cheap machine (usually strung by the player in
question or a buddy). Do yourself a treat and have a professional stringer using a pro-grade
electronic stringing machine feed your pet racquets: they'll love you for it, and play to the best
of your ability. Oh, I forgot--good strings, by the way, have an almost multifilament feel to
them but hold tension way better, Cheers...
From: Jack, Los Angeles, Ca. U.S.A.
Comments: This is the worst string ever made, don't buy it. I strung 4 rackets
with these strings testing them for the first time and they all snapped in fewer then 4 hours of
hitting. I have prince graphite rackets and my strings usually lasts 10 hours or more at
62lbs. Don't Buy!
From: D, Alameda, CA, US
Comments: Was not impressed with performance. I play a prince shark and the
strings gave no visible power or spin amplification and control was not very good. If looking
for all around great strings, try the gamma tnt2 or the Wilson sensation. I play a prince shark
From: Steve, Laguna Nigual, California, USA. 04/05
Comments: This string is very nice, though it didn't last long. I had it for about
month and a half and played for about 10h a
week. Good string, great for spin.
From: Leon, CT, USA. 01/05
Comments: I thought the string was an average string with surprisingly excellent
durability. For those of you who say they broke their strings after a set or less...they must be
stringing their racquet wrong or something. I use prince more attack racquet and I got at
least 8 sets of hard hitting out of these strings.
From: Joe, hbg, pa, USA. 10/04
Comments: This is the absolute worst string I have ever used. I am an
advanced player using a Wilson 6.1 and the string broke in 1 hour. I think that intermediate
players and beginning players should use this string and all advanced players should stay
far away from it. Also, the string doesn't have good feel whatsoever.
From: Ben, New York, USA. 08/04
Comments: I do a lot of Lightning XX string jobs and it plays a lot better than it's
low price. It's pretty economical, except it snaps and doesn't fray or really give much of a
warning sign .Good tension holding, good power, but it'll move around on you right before it
goes. Good control in a soft, but not mushy package. A winner in my book. Comparable to
Gamma TNT, Klip Scorcher, and Babolat Fiberace in certain aspects, but almost half the
From: Hawaii 5.0, Talk Tennis. 4/04
Comments: I was pleasantly surprised by the durability of the string, I expected
to bust them sooner. However I experience I huge tension drop after a week or so. These
strings gave a extra power boost to my shots, but didn't have enough spin potential. Its an ok
From: Wei, Atlanta, GA, USA. 3/04
Comments: I am a baseline 4+ player playing with a Wilson 5.3 110. My
personal experience is that this string sets new standards
for breaking quickly. My first set broke after a few minutes the corner main string (of all
strings) broke. A freak case perhaps I thought. But then my next one broke after just a hour or
so even though I had put on Babolat Elastocross. I have one more set of string left, and I am
going to junk it since it's just not worth spending the effort stringing this stuff.
From: Jay, Sunnyvale, CA, USA. 2/04
Comments: This String felt really good when I first started using it. It had a good
bite on the ball which enabled me to hit the ball even harder. I thought it was great for a
while. After A month of constant use during my season last year, it started losing its string
performance and they didn't hit the ball quite as well. After a second month, the strings
broke. They were good while they lasted but they were not worth the 30 dollars I paid for
them when they were first released.
From: Chris, Saratoga, NY, USA. 2/04
Comments: To my surprise, this string made my Prince More Precision MP
racquet play like a cannon. I strung it at 60lbs. and I thought it gave me way too much power.
I'm 16 years old and was rated 5.0. You'll get good spin and it is a comfortable string to hit
with, but overall I thought it gave too much power and not enough control for me to use.
From: Mike, Chicago, IL, USA. 12/03
Comments: This is only an o.k. string, nothing special, IMO. The durability is not
improved over other Prince synthetic gut strings in my experience. I feel that Tecnifibre
E-matrix is a better value.

Comments: This is the best string on the market for overall play. It has power,
control, durability, and looks. It's good for a hard hitter strung very tight, or for a soft power
string strung light.

SAN FRANCISCO – Even with his Los Angeles Dodgers winning 11 of 13 games coming into Saturday, manager Don Mattingly coyly spoke early Saturday afternoon about the need to improve the team.
A few hours later, general manager Ned Colletti addressed a specific need.
The Dodgers obtained right-hander Ricky Nolasco from the Miami Marlins for three minor-league pitchers – Steve Ames, Josh Wall and Angel Sanchez – adding a solid veteran to the rotation. L.A. also picked up an international signing bonus worth $197,000 in the deal.
"(Nolasco) is somebody that can help us out," Colletti said. "Obviously he's an accomplished big league starter. We felt we needed to add a starter at this point in the season and we had conversations with (the Marlins) going back about a week or so now. I think it's a benefit to acquire somebody before you get to the 31st. That was part of it as well."
Nolasco, a Southern California native who can become a free agent after the season, went 5-8 with a 3.85 ERA in 18 starts for the Marlins and has a career mark of 81-72 with a 4.44 ERA.
Colletti talked with Nolasco during the game and his elation about his new team was apparent.
"He's excited," Colletti said. "California guy coming back and he's excited to be a Dodger. He's obviously got some roots in Southern California and I think he sees our situation here and he sees the club that's assembled and how we've played the last couple of weeks, and I think that's a plus for him."
DODGERS: Kemp day-to-day
His acquisition not only bolsters a rotation that has been weakened by injuries to Chad Billingsley, Josh Beckett and Ted Lilly, but it keeps Nolasco away from other contenders like the San Francisco Giants, who have been seeking pitching help.
It's not clear where the 30-year-old Nolasco, the Marlins all-time winningest pitcher and strikeout leader, will slot in the rotation or whose spot he will take. Rookie Stephen Fife ranked ninth in the NL with a 2.21 ERA since June 1 before giving up four runs (one earned) against the Giants in 4 1/3 innings Saturday.
Lefty Chris Capuano, who joined the rotation in May after a stint on the disabled list, has not been sharp of late, allowing 10 earned runs in a total of 10 innings over his last two starts.
The addition of Nolasco complements a starting group headed by Cy Young Award winners Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke, with impressive rookie lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu also in the mix.
