Hi all.
I'm new on this board, been lurking around some of the others for a few months now. I'll briefly explain my situation. My boyfriend was diagnosed on oct 25th with AML with complex cytogenetics. He failed to achieve remission with round one of induction, but achieved it second time round with the FLAGIDA regieme. He had one consolidation at the start of jan and has just started conditioning for his transplant on the 17th. He's going through two days of cyclophosphamide and 3 days of twice daily TBI. His donor is his older brother.
Not sure why I'm here other than to hear some positive experiences and any advice anyone can give to help me help him through this. He is my world. He has coped with everything so well so far, I just feel so helpless all the time.
How did people find the TBI as this almost seems scarier than the transplant? And I'm already struggling with the barrier nursing two days in :(
With love Chip x
I didn't have TBI so I can't help you with that. I did have a transplant for AML over eight years ago and have done pretty well since. So, at least there's a bit of hope. You'll hear (read) a lot more over time here.
Let us know how we can help support you and your boyfriend.
I had a transplant 4+ years ago and am doing well. I did relapse last year but that's extremely unusual and I'm doing well now. The key is that transplants are tough but are well worth the fight. I also had 2 inductions to get into remission.
Gather information about the transplant. The more information you have the better prepared you'll be. Keep in mind though that there are a lot of things that can happen to him after the transplant but he may or may not have the same reactions. The key is to be ready to fight like hell.
Take care,
Hi, thanks for both your replies. Can you remember how long after discharge it wa before you were ok to be left for longer periods of time in the house alone. I'm trying to work out how much time off work I'm likely to need. But I understand everyone is different. I've been told to expect that on some days he might not have the energy to get in the shower or make a cup of tea.
Good question. I wish it had a straightforward answer. I'm sure it doe but not from me.
I had my transplant in mid-June. By August I was about out of my mind having my wife around 24/7 and I called one of the boys and paid for him and his wife to fly out and get her out of the apartment and take her to places she wanted to see that were on my restricted list. At that time, I went to a couple of movies, went to eat and just enjoyed being alone for awhile.
Thing is I was cruising on Prednisone at the time and had boundless energy. By the time we came home the end of September, I was pretty much in a constant state of fatigue. My wife was allowed to stay home from work another week to help get me situated then she had to go back to work.
The thing is that infections and other little surprises can run up on transplant patients out of nowhere and take over pretty damned quickly. It really needs to be monitored. If you have to be back to work in less than the 100 days, you might want to see about getting a friend or relative to sit with him. Or home health care is another option. But for awhile, he will need to be attended.
It sounds tough but I've never known anyone who couldn't work it out. Well, one single friend did make it through on her own. I think she had an auto transplant though.
I was in the hospital for 6 weeks after my transplant which is longer than most people's experience. I was probably a month after that before she'd start going out for short period of time. I was fortunate to have family visit us often while we were in Seattle. I had my tranplant in May and we returned home in August. There were a few weeks when we didn't have visitors and she would normally venture out around my naps. The issue was my energy level and balance. It was never a problem but she was nervous to leave for a long period. She returned to work a few weeks after we got home.
Hi Chip, i am sorry to hear of your boyfriend. My son had a double u cord transplant for relapsed aml at atge 20. He had 9 sessions of TBI as part of his pretransplant conditioning. The sessions were only about 20 minutes long, not painful but after about the 3rd, my son started getting nauseated and would throw up on the way home from treatment. Make sure you have buckets or bags if you are outpatient for TBI. They may also opt to do testicular radiation due to the testicles being a sanctuary site for relapse. That is one thing you all need to know because it can have a huge long term effect on fertility as well as TBI can.
About 6 weeks after TBI my son was very fatigued. He later told me he was not prepared for the level of fatigue that transplant would bring but we were told it is very common when someone has radiation. I believe they call in somnolence syndrome. That lasted a couple of months. He also had GI effects with nausea and vomiting for several months. It took quite a few months before he was strong enough to be left alone for any length of time. You may need some help for awhile.
Wishing you the best on your upcoming journey.
Hi, one more note, about leaving him alone.
It is really all on an individual basis. If he is too weak to get himself from bed to chair, chair to bathroom, chair to kitchen, etc., without help, he will need someone there with him.
As I mentioned before, I worked 4 days a week throughout Nate's transplant. Nate came home on a Saturday, and I went to work on Monday. I worked 4 ten hour days, taking Wednesdays off to bring him to Boston for his appointments. Oh, and I was 6 months pregnant at the time, which added another obstacle.
Nate was never too weak to move around. I would get up at 5 and check his temp, leave for work around 5:30 and I left him with easy things to eat (muffins/cereal for breakfast, frozen dinners or I'd make sandwiches for lunch). I'd tell him to call me as soon as he got up, which was normally around 10. I would then remind him to take his temp and his meds. I;d then call every hour until I left work. And that was how we did it. If he was ever sick, I stayed home or came home from work if he needed me.
Like people have said, it is really on an individual basis so you guys will work out what needs he will have. Whatever happens, you guys will manage.
Regarding leaving him alone...It's a really hard thing to predict. In my case, I was out of the hospital on day +20 and felt fine to be alone immediately. In fact I was driving about a week out of the slammer. My Caregiver (mom) wasn't all that keen on this, but I felt safer than with her driving...no offense mom Others (knock on wood) have not been as fortunate. If he were to spike a fever, he would need to get to the hospital ASAP! Hope this helps.
Best wishes
Hi Chip,
My husband Nate (dx 12/22/10 with Pre B ALL at the age of 24) underwent a SCT from his brother 3/2/11. He had 4 days of twice daily TBI. Almost a year later and he is here, dealing with some long term GVHD side effects, but otherwise healthy and cancer free.
TBI was tough. He had very nauseous for months after. This doesnt happen to everyone, but did to him. So be prepared for him to feel really crappy for a long time with vomiting. The fatigue from TBI also lasts a very long time, so be ready for that. On a bright note, he'll probably end up with a pretty sweet tan
So the TBI process itself wasn't very exciting. I was there for one session (I had to work 4 days a week during his transplant so was not there every day) and the actually radiation lasts about 20 minutes. Basically, they'll cover him in blankets, get bhim geared up with gloves and a mask and wheel him down to radiation. From there he'll strip down to just shorts (or that's what Nate did) and he will go into this room and stand in this glass "enclosure" type thing, and just stand there until it's over. The radiation dept. at Mass General played music for him. After that, he'll get suited back up, get to his room, and immediately strip naked and get into the shower to wash off any germs. What sucked for Nate was that the first session was always at like 5:30 or 6 in the morning. Also, have him ask for zofran an hour BEFORE he goes down to each session. Some nurses give it afterwards, but it works a LOT better in preventing the nausea than treating it, and after 3 sessions and needing the puke bucket while standing in the radiation contraption, he decided to pre-treat for it and it did wonders.
Feel free to email me (email@example.com) or you can friend me on facebook (Lottie Richard) or just message me on here if you have any specific questions. These discussion boards are also a great place to ask questions and get feedback/support.
You two will get through it.
Hi Chip,
My brother in law also underwent a transplant in December of last year. He also had 3 days of TBI sessions and I know it was very hard. He fought CML and a pretty horrible stroke, but he is home now. He spent more than a month in the hospital after the transplant, but he made it. It is true that he did not experience lots of horrible side effects, except for fever that got him to the point where he wanted to give up.
He is home now and doing well, but he still feels tired all the time especially that he lost a lot of weight before and after the transplant. My sister leaves him alone for longer periods of time now, but she always has the neighbors/friends/relatives checking on him. She recently left him alone with their 4 years old daughter for half a day and he managed it pretty well, as she does not require as much attention as their 1 year old son who he cannot hold yet due to weakness and fatigue. He cannot drive and he is really not allowed to go to some places or meet lots of people, sometimes my sister isolates him from their 2 kids as well. It is really case by case, but you are going to manage it. Just don't lose hope.
From what I know, and also read on this board, the transplant is a very different experience for everyone. We really believed (based on an acquaintance's experience who kept in touch with my BIL after he left the hospital) that the transplant is going to be hell... it was hard, but not as he expected, at least that's what he says now. But it was time when family had to sit with him 24/7 in the hospital, taking turns day and night. Most of the time it was only my mom and my sister going back and forth from hospital to home, where 2 small kids were in need of care. Only two of them... and they made it. Most of the time my mom would come home after a sleepless night to take care of recently awaken babies. The hardest part was to find someone to look after the kids while they did the switch... and neighbors helped! We only helped for short periods as we live in different countries, but we used our vacations and everyone went to help.
Don't be afraid to ask family and friends for help and don't lose faith. I know it's hard, even though I had a "second hand" experience, so to say, but I know that where is love, faith and kindness, everything becomes possible.
Also, this Board helped us a lot, here I found the most wonderful people ready to send their prayers and good thoughts whenever needed.
Just fight and pray, everything is going to be fine.
Take care and God Bless You both. Prayers coming your way!
Hi everyone, thankyou all so much for your replies.
Thats given me a lot to think about, i guess i'll have to wait and see how he is.I've got support from my family and his parents to help us out. Unfortunetly, although imy work have been very supportive, i can't get much paid time off, which obviously limits what i can and can't do, i'm taking off as much unpaid as we can afford, the plan for now is 3 weeks after discharge and then 3 days every week after that, until a time when i can arrange something different. I think he has to go for outpatient appointments 3 times a week in the initial stages, at the hospital which is 2 hours driive from where we live , so i imagine i'll do 2 runs and his parents will do one per week.
So far we are on day 2 of radiation and he is feeling better than yesterday, def heard a perk in his voice when i phoned him, unfortuntely the wireless on the ward he is now on is rubbish, so we can't skype. He is telling me he is missing me though and this is the first time he has done this so early on in a stage of treatment, so i know it must be getting to him. I hope he remains strong. The nausea is less, but his skin has started to hurt.
Thankyou all again for helping me realise i am not alone through all this and helping to give me hope.
Happy Valentines Day
Love Chip
Just wanted to check in and see how things are going...you stated that the transplant was to take place on the 17th...if possible - send us an update - hoping things are going boringly well!
Hi. Sorry I have been meaning to update, but my life seems full of either work or sleep at the moment.
Things are good, he had the transplant on Friday, as planned, very boring, as planned lol. He's been very nauseous for about a week and virtually unable to keep anything down, until today. Just been speaking to him and today has sounded like a good day, he's not been sick and has eaten a decent amount of food, he sounds much perkier too. He did start with a bit of a temp, but the doctors jumped on it instantly and took cultures and started him on penicillin, which was a shock as in the past he's got to that temp and it's just been IV paracetamol and watch. Good though, suppose they have to be careful.
As everyone says, hopefully it stays boring!! Thanks.
Love Chip xx
Never apologize...caregivers are always the busiest during transplant...glad to hear everything is going smoothly so far...good that he is able to eat - that may change in the coming days...fevers are nevered watched during transplant...there will be lots of testing and swabbing and xrays and other things that will take place when a fever pops up...
I am sending good thoughts his way - from here in Ontario Canada! I will be hoping that things stay boring...
Nausea was a problem I did have after transplant. It goes away and can usually be dealt with, it's just a matter of finding the right med or giving it time. Nausea is one of those things that can rear its head at any time for quite awhile. A week isn't bad but I'm glad to learn he's getting back on the nutrition cart.
Please keep us posted as you have time.
Hi. He's kinda gone off his food again, I managed to tempt him with a cinnamon swirl earlier. I think it's more mouth sores now, rather than nausea. His gums have started to disintegrate, but soluble paracetamol is helping...any other tips?
His bloods have shown a flicker of life too. Yesterday his WBC was 0.04, today they are 2.0 and neutrophils were 0 and are now 0.02, I know those are minuscule changes, but I hope it is a sign of things going in the right direction.
Thanks for caring
Chip xx
Unless that was a typo, the WBC increase is far more than miniscule. It's about the biggest jump from day to day I've heard of and, I believe, would definitely indicate engraftment has started. If it's a typo, then that's another matter.
At any rate, it does seem like the marrow's stirring and that's a good thing. The actual counts might jump up and down for awhile but it should start an exponential climb once its taken hold. Part of the good news there is engraftment is usually followed by a big improvement in mouth sores.
I think it might be late for the other tricks I could offer. I used a saline mouth rinse, a sonic toothbrush and a little device that kept food particles out of my mouth and I never had mouth sores. I really don't think the saltwater would be a good idea with open wounds.
There are a number of mouth rinses they have. There's the Magic Mouthwash and another I can't remember the name of. But if what he's using isn't a lot of help, might be time to try something else. I'd ask them about it.
Lol. Damn silly me, it was a typo.
I read and re-read that post too. I'll blame typing on my iPhone screen. The increase has actually been 0.04 to 0.2
I didn't realise either til earlier it's more his throat which is sore, I think that is down to the radiation therapy.
Chip xx
Another day, another rise.
WBC are 0.31 today and neutrophils 0.09.
He is experiencing back pain too, which we were never warned about, but apparently can be a sign the marrow is working hard producing new cells.
Chip x
Bloodwork sounds great, especially for only being 9 days out. Sounds like he's on the road to being sprung from the joint within another week or 2!
The back pain is fairly normal; Nate had it too, as the cells began to repopulate. Especially in his lower back and hips. Make sure he's using the pain meds they have available to make him comfortable. Nate had a dilauded pump (he's allergic to morphine) and also oral oxycodone to help with the pain.
Tell him to keep up the good work!
So just spoke to Matt earlier and his neutrophils are 3.7 today. Can't remember what his WBC was, but it was a decent figure. His mouth sores have healed and the nausea is finally subsiding. There are even talking about him being discharged then of this week/start of next, depending on how his counts go without the GCSF injections.
Am excited, but a little apprehensive!!
Chip xx
that's great news...sounds like the engraftment is in full swing...I think we are always apprehensive about going home...but the fact of the matter is - he is so much better off at home - the germs at home are nothing compared to the germs in the hospital...I was in-patient for over 30 days so getting out this early seems soon to me...but if things are going well then take that and run with it...
Nothing to be apprehensive about. At least, there don't seem to be any sharks in the water at the moment. But, yeah, there are a lot of things that can still happen.
However, the jump in ANC and WBC is great. It sounds as if he's engrafting and things are moving along very well, indeed.
I'm sorry about his back. Yeah, it certainly could be the bone narrow cranking up, as it certainly has. It could be the stinking bed, too, if it's a regular hospital bed. I had osteoporosis during my SCT and I wound up with a couple of compression fractures just from lying in the hospital bed.
I'm pretty sure it's the marrow thing. You might want to just keep an eye on the orthopedics, too.
Hi everyone.
Just a quick update on how he's doing. Matt was discharged last Thursday, which was day +13. So he's been at home about a week now, very dull do far, which I like. I've been off for the whole time so far, but scheduled to go back to work on Tuesday, on a part time basis, but work are prepared in case it changes suddenly again. Hes been back to the hospital twice for his outpatient appointments, but neutrophils had dropped down to 1.33, but doctors weren't overly concerned and gave him another shot of the GCSF. His Hb and platelets have both increased from when he was discharged. He's mostly watching tv, but is able to potter about,aking his breakfast and getting drinks, which is better than what I was prepared for.
He saw the professor that diagnosed him today too, he was smiling when he saw Matt, we like it when he smiles lol :)
Much love Chip x
great news! Hope everything keeps on the boring side
Sounds like things are really going well. I hope the past week has been nothing but improvement.
Matt is still doing pretty well and the docs are pleased. Couple of questions though as I did not go to his appointment today.
His bloods are still fluctuating a lot, on discharge 5.something, 4days later 1.something, 3 days later 3.something, 4 days later back to 1.something (sorry for being so vague). Is this fairly normal? His platelets have steadily gone down from 133 to 97, think Hb is still slowly increasing.
Also he is still suffering from nausea, sick nearly once every day. He is on anti emetics, but they didn't particularly help in hospital and Im not sure they're doing much now.
Otherwise he's quite bright, pottering about, eating 2 meals a day (not getting up til midday usually).
Thanks Chip xx
Hi Chip
It's really normal for the counts to bounce around a lot, especially this early in the game. Nate is over a year out and his WBC still bounces around between 3.5 and 5. It is also normal for his PLT to bounce around; most people on here will tell you that platelets are the "flakiest" of the blood counts, and I would have to agree with them.
Nate suffered sever nausea for about 2 months after he came home. He was vomiting usually about 3-4 times a day, sometimes more. He took ativan for nausea, as well as zofran. Sometimes a combination worked, but really nothing helped all that much. I cant really offer advice on how to make that better, because with Nate, it just took time.
Good to hear he;s up and about and eating. It sounds like he is doing pretty good
I've got to say that that kind of fluctuation in his counts could be of greater or lesser concern depending on which counts they are. It would be nice to have a little more information.
As for platelets, like Lottie indicated, they're simply insane and might be so the rest of his life. I've quit worrying about mine unless they plop under 50, which they haven't done in a long time. But they can still bridge up to 40 points every time we check them and they're never up to low normal.
It's pretty standard for all of the counts to jump around a bit. Unless there's a consistent and steady downward trend in a count, I wouldn't sweat it a bit. And at or around Day 60, his counts will probably really drop for a few days. Just a head's up, that will be the 60 Day Slump. It happens to most of us.
If they've tried most of the anti-nausea drugs, ask about Marinol. It's a marijuana derivative and it might help with the nausea. It kept me knocked out a lot so I got a license for the real stuff. Living in CO has its benefits.
Sorry Tex I thought I'd put that those first counts were his neutrophils (I really should start reading with posts more carefully before I post). The doctor rang today and sent him to our local hospital for a GCSF injection, so they had obviously dropped lower.
60 day slump, I'll have to remember that. We're only on day 28 at the mo, so I'm maybe expecting too much. He could have still been in hospital. I'll get him to ask if they'd any other anti emetics he can try.
Thanks Lottie. Hearing that Nate vomited is quite reassuring, I'll have to tell Matt that it could be worse!!
Chip xx
It was worrisome for me, too. For a while his doc put him one something called beclomethasone. It is some liquid steroid mixed with corn oil that he drank and it was supposed to coat his stomach. I dont really know if it did much of anything, but it could be something to ask his docs about. Just make sure he drinks LOTS of water. One time when Nate went to clinic he was so dehydrated from vomiting he needed IV fluids for 4 hours. After that we just made sure he was really taking in the water.
Hi everyone, haven't posted in a while, so thought I'd do a quick update with a couple of questions ;)
Matt is doing pretty well, the vomiting stopped about 2 weeks ago when we requested he was taken off the anti depressants as I didn't feel he needed them. He's still occasionally nauseous, but he's able to eat confidently now. He's up and about a bit more too.
The couple of questions I've got are maybe a bit odd, especially the second one, but I'll go for it anyway. Firstly, he's finding his hands get very cold when we're sitting at night watching tv, I'm not sure whether this is connected with the weather which has changed quite dramatically over the past week, from warm and sunny, to snow. He finds it hard to get warm, but does mange eventually, but wearing a lot of layers in bed. The second is his hair. He pretty much lost everything, head, eyebrows, eyelashes. All are starting to come back. But it's also growing in a weird place, just beneath his eyes on his cheeks, and it's not fine, downy hair, but black....he's gonna have to shave it off lol!! Did anyone else experience strange hair growth!??
Chip xx
Nice to see your post Chip...
As for the weird hair...I have some dark chin hairs that I didn't get before...however, I talked to my sister who was my donor and found out that she has to wax her lip and chin because of them...so I'm chalking mine up to her - others I'm sure will chime in - I think you might find that the "hair thing" is a bit different now...I lost all my hair and now 15 months later it is a weird texture kinda like dog fur and very thin - but it seems to finally be thickening up - my eyelashes are gorgeous now and I was lucky enough not to have my leg or underarm hair come back -so no shaving required! (that's kind of a nice perk, for me anyway, lol)
Matt may find that shaving it off once or twice takes care of the problem...wishing you both a Happy Easter and continued success on your journey..
I'm glad he's doing a little better. I can't think of having heard of anti-depressants being related to nausea before. But, I learn something new everyday.
I don't know what to say about your other questions. Could be he's lost weight, a normal occurrence with transplants, that can change our metabolism. That can certainly make on cold. I get colder than I used to but I've moved to Colorado after spending my first 50 in Texas and Oklahoma. I could be that it's just the lower temps. But, again, weight loss can really intensify one's reaction to cold.
The extra hair thing is new to me, also. I know that my hair went through changes but I have a permanent reduction in my body hair (my legs are so hairless they almost look shaved and I have nothing under my arms). Nothing new has shown up.
Hope everything else is okay. Please let us know.
I'm not sure if the antidepressants were the cause of the nausea, or whether it was a coincidence.
He has definitely lost weight, so that could contribute to him feeling cold, never gave that a thought. He's lost nearly 10kgs. He shaved the hair off and it is starting to come through again, he thinks it's funny and describes himself as turning into a wolfman, hes really pleased cos his 'tach seems to be growing back thicker.
Otherwise I don't think there's much to report. His bloods were pretty good on last visit; Hb 11.6, platelets 136, neutrophils 2.3 and WBCs 3.6.
Day 51 today, so half way to the dreaded day 100.
Thanks everyone, Chip xx
Hope things stay boring for ya'll for awhile, Chip. Keep us posted.
Any chance he is on cyclosporine?? That will cause you to grow hair all over, my son had a unibrow and hair on his cheeks. Some of the kids had hair on their foreheads, backs and hands, especially the dark haired kids. Looked like little monkeys. But it is all for a season and once they stop the cyclosporine, the hair goes away.
Sounds like things are going par for the course, hope you all had a quiet Easter.
Yes he is on cyclosporin! Already reducing his doses cos hes doing well and no signs of GvHD, which is good, but worries me a little too :-/
And he's dark cos half Portuguese. Ah well, hopefully that explains it, he'll be happy about some of the hair growth, especially if it gives him a thicker beard than he use to have lol. I'll keep at eye out for it in random places and pluck it out.
Good to know, thanks!!
Chip xx
By the way my son lost about 55 pounds post transplant. He also had TBI and had terrible nausea and vomited a few times every day especially the first 100 days. I dont know if it was the sole blame for his nausea or that along with all the meds and maybe some gvhd. He did show outward signs of gvhd in the skin about 58 days post transplant. He also experience severe fatigue about 4-6 weeks post transplant, they called it somnolent syndrome and said it was quite common in TBI patients. Just a couple of things to consider.
About a week after my sons cyclosporine was decreased, every dose and like clockwork, we would see signs of gvhd. Just pay attention and see if you notice any changes. My sons came in the form of nausea, diarrhea, and skin changes. Not everyone gets gvhd, but it was always about a week after a drop in dose for us.
Don't worry about the GVH. It will likely show up in time, especially as they decrease the dosage of cyclosporine. If not, well, it's not a requirement for a good recovery.
Just do like MW said and keep an eye open for signs of GVH and get him to the doc if signs show up.

Not me. I would've loved some more hair.
Hi everyone.
Just a quick update. Were just under a month til the dreaded day 100 and Matt is still doing well.
Tex, thank you so much for the heads up about the day 60 slump. Matt definitely experienced it, think neutrophils got as low as 1.2 and he was much more lethargic, quiet and his appetite decreased. I would have been panicking if you hadn't pre-warned me. 5 days later he was back up to near normal 2.3 and he's much livelier in himself again, even managed to take the dog for a walk last week and cut the grass yesterday!
I'm still dreading the end of May and his biopsy, but trying to remain positive.
Chip xx
Glad the information helped. We try to get ahead of things when we can around here.
I don't see Day 100 as "dreaded." It's the day you get to get the hell outta Dodge. I lived for that day for 93 days (I was discharged early). It's all how you look at it.
Hi again.
So day +100 came and went on Sunday. Matts biopsy was today and he had his Hickman line removed. The doctor said we would hear back regarding his remission status either later today or tomorrow. It's now 8pm over here and we haven't heard anything. This is the first time we haven't been informed of early results on the day of the biopsy and I know this might be unusual, and it's completely unreasonable but I'm having a major panic, I've no reason to believe Matt isn't in remission, he's very well, best he's been since well before he was diagnosed, but I'm terrified that were gonna get bad news tomorrow :(
Chip xx
Hi Chip,
Generally, if it's bad news, they know right away and let you know right away. For us, no news is good news lol it means there's no rush. I understand how you feel though because I am the EXACT same way with Nate's biopsies!
Let us know when you do get the results
In my experience...bad news travels faster than good news...if you havent heard - dont panic - assume that no news is good news
Hang in there
Congratulations to Matt and you on getting past Day 100. The five years after transplant are full of road markers and this is the first one. It's great to get past it.
I have never gotten my BMB results the same day as I had the procedure, even when the results were supposed to be figured out STAT. I'm surprised they've ever been able to get you same day results.
Look, if they'd been concerned that Matt had any issues, they wouldn't have removed his Hickman only to have to put it back in. That's about the biggest vote of confidence I can imagine. Second, that you didn't hear the same day indicates to me the doc didn't put a rush order on the results. That would only be if s/he was sure that there was no reason to be concerned.
At least, that's my experience.
thanks to you both, I know what you're saying makes sense, I'm I'm still a complete nervous wreck and will be til we get that phone call. I just need to know, good or bad.
I'm very happy to say Matt is still in remission. Doc said marrow looked really good. That's me done in for the day, have been an emotional wreck. I know what everyone said made complete sense and deep down I knew there was no doubt, but all that waiting, when ususually we've heard in a few hours was very hard!!
Thanks for all your continued support though :) xx
Great, now remember this when/if future concerns arise. This is how we get over panicking every time something looks a little iffy.
Never had a doubt he was fine. Keep us informed.
Hi all. Just a quick update, about a month after Matts biopsy, we finally got the rest of the results; 100% donor. Tex you'll be pleased to hear I didn't panic and after 2 weeks of no news I realised it must be good :) the doctor even had to look for the results cos they weren't obvious, as he said 'if you've got to look for them, it's good news'.
He's now on monthly checks, the dry skin is getting under control with his new creams and he's 80% back at work. Doc was very pleased at last check, all bloods normal, expect for, I *think*, lymphocytes, but apparently they take a while to recover. We're currently 5months post transplant and doc said 90% of people will relapse in the first 6months, don't know if that's the general feeling on here, but I liked that statistic. I know we've still got a looong way to go, but it's nice to feel more positive again :)
Chip xx
The docs told me that 30 months is the "safe line" for feeling very, very confident. I would imagine that the doc knows what he's talking about with that stat.
It sounds like thing are going very well. I hope they continue to do so. Keep us posted.

Rating times sq. Hotel – 5 stars from our family
gret hotel!! – nice clean and well located hotel. good serviece. great american brekfest!!
Great location at reasonable price – We were pleasantly surprised to find such a nice friendly small hotel so centrally located at a fair cost. We will be going back there again without question.
Best hotel in the area ! – This renovated hotel is so charming ! The service is outstanding and it offers a FREE breakfast ! What;s not to like. Conveniently located to all area attractions, it is the best deal in NYC ! We always stay here when in town.
Awesome and Convenient – This hotel was awesome, as first timers to New York from Australia, everyone warned us how small the rooms are in all hotels, unless you pay top dollar you don't have any room, so I was expecting a shoe box. Well when we got there, there was a massive king size bed in the middle of the room with heaps of room around it, small lounge chairs and a huge bathroom.
We overlooked the street and across the road to a small park, we even slept with the windows ajar and couldn't hear any noise. We walked everywhere and caught the subway around the corner.
I cannot fault this hotel at all, the staff are friendly, rooms are very clean and the price is right, we will definately be back and will stay for sure at the Hotel At Times Square AAA
Very Good – The hotel was right in Times Square, near restaurants, Broadway, and shopping. It was a very small room. very little space for the luggage. It was clean, everyone was very friendly. The night time concierge lady could have been a little more informative and helpful. But for the price, it was a great deal. Be sure an ask if there is parking for your vehicle, especially if you have an SUV.
Great hotel, great location, great price – I wasn't expecting a lot out of the hotel based on the price, so I was pleasantly surprised upon walking into the lobby and finding a spot where I would love to sit & visit with friends. There was free internet access and printers, which came in handy since we hadn't printed our theatre tickets.
The bedroom was also stylishly decorated. While on the smaller side, it never felt cramped.
There was complimentary breakfast the next day that was the best complimentary breakfast I've ever had - hot and cold foods, and the staff pleasantly and efficiently making sure everyone had a clean spot to sit and eat.
I have recommended this hotel to several friends and family members and hope to return to the city, and this hotel, soon.
Very HAPPY! – My friend and I stayed during christmas time and we were so very happy with everything and everyone here! Pleasantly surprised by how nice the rooms are and the staff was so nice to deal with. Price was good too. Location is great - you can go just about anywhere from this spot easily! I highly reccommend and I will be staying again!
Hotel @ Times Square – Had chosen from the Internet and wasn't sure what to expect. Upon checking in, the clerk offered me a complimentary upgrade, and the room was beautiful. Lovely furnishings, high ceilings, marble bath. Couldn't be happier, especially at such a low rate. Have strongly recommended to all I know who travel to NY.
Hotel @ Times Square – I was pleasantly surprised to find this updated, modestly priced and modestly appointed hotel so close to Times Square. Very close to Central Park. The rooms were recently updated, very clean, neat. The continental breakfast was a plus - a staff person did a fine job keeping everything stocked. Great place for a family to stay while visiting the City. I took advantage of computer in lobby to print my jetBlue boarding pass. I would definitely stay there again.

Family Educational Records Privacy Act (FERPA)
Published: Monday, August 29, 2005
Student records at UCLA are governed by a special set of regulations called the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA, which was enacted in 1974 by federal legislation.
According to the UCLA Registrar's Office, "FERPA gives students in postsecondary institutions full rights over their records. That is, FERPA guarantees that students can inspect and review their records, seek to amend those records, and even have some control over the disclosure of information from those records. Once the individual enters a postsecondary institution, parents cease to have rights of access to student records. The student alone authorizes access to the records maintained by the institution of higher education. Furthermore, should the institution not abide by FERPA, the student has the right to bring a complaint against the institution before the federal government."
If you have questions, check our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Students and for Parents, as well as the relevant section of this website. If you cannot find the answer to your question, and it is general in nature, you are welcome to contact our office. However, we recommend that you ask your daughter or son to contact us with your question, as we are able to respond to all student inquiries. Under FERPA, there is certain information that we will not be able to provide to anyone other than the student.

text: John Vogel Archives Email Author Wow! What A Market Ride! Nor' east Thinkin' Remember, what goes up also goes down Published on: February 2, 2011 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Blog RSS Permalink Print I'd much rather be a forewarner than an "I told you so" rear-window commentator. But you have to wonder when the good times will stop rolling and why we're amid a historic market moment. Agriculture is experiencing record high grain, beef, pork and wool prices. U.S. farmland prices are exploding to new levels. I can't explain why milk isn't already on the same wild ride. But if predictions for rising dairy product exports are correct, farm-gate milk prices are likely to follow the farm commodity ride higher. Unfortunately, farm input costs – gasoline, diesel fuel and fertilizer – also are heading higher. The grocery bill of every American family will continue climbing. I believe I know the answer why all this is happening, and we're not going to like the end result. I'll lay it out in my Food for Thought column in March's issue. I'll also tell you why I believe the farm program, as we know it, will end. As I've said several times, make certain your business can succeed without Uncle Sam's help.

That is no longer the case.
The bank recently launched a mortgage division, helping residents obtain long-term fixed interest rate and adjustable rate home mortgage loans, to capitalize on what administrators there see as improvement in the local housing market this year. With some other local banks seeing demand grow for their mortgage services and area real estate agents selling more homes in recent months, the area housing market appears to be in a steady trend of improvement, housing industry experts say.
Larry Deason, president of Farmers & Merchants, which has locations in Anniston, Oxford, Jacksonville and Piedmont, said his bank has wanted to enter the mortgage industry for several years, but kept deciding against it due to the sluggish housing market and economy. Through the mortgage division, Farmers & Merchants will help customers complete the application process for a home loan with an outside loan agency.
The housing market crashed in 2008 as part of the Great Recession, resulting in massive numbers of home foreclosures and depressed housing sales and prices. Housing markets across the country have struggled to recover ever since.
"We wanted to wait until the economy was coming back," Deason said. "The Realtors here now are selling more houses now."
According to the Alabama Center for Real Estate, Calhoun County home sales were up about 7 percent between January and August when compared to the same period last year. Also, county August home sales increased 26.6 percent compared to those sold in July.
"I think it's a good time to get into the mortgage business," said Everett King of ERA King Real Estate in Anniston.
King said home sales have improved considerably around the state in recent months and that he and others in the housing market expect steady sales growth over the next few years. King said there's pent-up demand for homes now that's driving the housing market recovery.
"There's been people who have been waiting years to sell their house," King said. "Prices are increasing ... interest rates are continuing to rise ... that's creating an urgency to buy."
Unlike Farmers & Merchants, Cheaha Bank in Oxford has had a mortgage department for about 10 years, said Alan Easterwood, mortgage officer for Cheaha. Easterwood said his department has seen growth in the consumer home market in recent months.
"We specialize in primary residence and investment housing ... we've seen an uptick in the purchase market," Easterwood said.
Easterwood said Cheaha expanded the department from two to four employees last year to better cope with anticipated housing market growth.
"And I believe we will see continued growth in purchasing — people are gaining confidence in the economy as a whole and are gaining more confidence in their jobs," Easterwood said.
Leonard Zumpano, professor of finance at the University of Alabama and the chair of real estate economics for the Alabama Association of Realtors, said many banks offer some kind of mortgage service. Zumpano said such bank services are seeing gains due to improvements in the housing market. However, he noted that mortgage lending could face problems if the federal government shutdown continues for an extended period. The government shut down last week due to Congress' failure to agree on a budget, resulting in furloughs for thousands of federal employees, including many who work in Veterans Affairs and the Federal Housing Administration, both of which offer home mortgages.
"The only thing that has me concerned right now is that it's taking longer to process loans," Zumpano said.
Mark Vitner, senior economist for Wells Fargo, said he expects continued improvement in the housing market across the country in the coming months.
"Home sales have been depressed for so long that now there is a lot of pent-up demand," Vitner said. "There has not been significant job growth this year, but I think there will be in 2014. And I see that as helping the housing market pick up even faster."
Joey Crews of Keller Williams Realty in Anniston said his company has sold between five and 10 more homes each month this year compared to the same months last year.
"This year there is a little more demand," Crews said. "I think consumer confidence is getting better."
After the spending the last 17 years renting, Cephus Cannon recently bought a one-story home in Jacksonville, closing the deal in August.
"I wanted something to leave to my granddaughter and I just felt like it was the right time to buy," Cannon said of the home purchase.
Cannon said that while his mortgage payments are higher than what his rent payments were, he's made up for it by gaining a few hundred feet of space and a front yard.
"It was very reasonable," he said. "It's an excellent time to buy right now."

Health insurance reform opponents continue to spread myths - now about the recently introduced Affordable Health Care for America Act. Below is a line-by-line debunking of the latest distortion-filled email chain making the rounds on the Internet.
MYTH: 'Page 94-Section 202(c) prohibits the sale of private individual health insurance policies, beginning in 2013, forcing individuals to purchase coverage through the federal government'
FACT: The House bill does NOT prohibit the sale of private individual health insurance policies. Instead, it helps to make the private health insurance market work better - improving prices through competition and choice for consumers through the creation of a one-stop shopping marketplace called a Health Insurance Exchange by 2013. Individuals looking to purchase insurance will be able to choose among products offered by private companies and the public option that best fit their family's needs. This competition is desperately needed-many areas of our country are dominated by just one or two private insurers today. But no one will be forced to purchase a public option -- it will be up to consumers to choose their plan, either public or private, within the Exchange.
The Pulitzer prize-winning Politifact Web site called out Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann of Minnesota for making this claim-dubbing it a 'pants on fire lie' and saying 'she should read the 1,989 pages.'
MYTH: 'Page 110-Section 222(e) requires the use of federal dollars to fund abortions through the government-run health plan-and, if the Hyde Amendment were ever not renewed, would require the plan to fund elective abortions'
FACT: To the contrary, the House bill continues the Hyde Amendment, which bars federal funding for paying for abortions except in the case of rape, incest, or to save the life of the woman. In addition, the House bill explicitly PROHIBITS any federal funds to be used to pay for abortions (except for the Hyde amendment exceptions) - including stipulating that no taxpayer-funded Affordability Credits will pay for abortions in private or public insurance on the Exchange. Section 222 of the House bill also explicitly prohibits abortion services to be included in the basic benefits package on the Exchange (page 109). (In addition, there are ongoing discussions regarding the provisions in the bill possibly being further modified before the House votes on the bill.)
MYTH: 'Page 111-Section 223 establishes a new board of federal bureaucrats (the 'Health Benefits Advisory Committee') to dictate the health plans that all individuals must purchase-and would likely require all Americans to subsidize and purchase plans that cover any abortion'
FACT: First of all, the Health Benefits Advisory Committee is NOT a board of federal bureaucrats; it will mostly be made up of individuals in the private sector - such as health care providers, consumer representatives, employers, labor, health insurance issuers, and independent experts. Secondly, it does not 'dictate' health plans; its primary role is to make recommendations to HHS about the minimum covered benefits that all insurance companies have to offer - in order to ensure that everyone has a health plan that provides them with adequate coverage. Finally, Section 222 of the bill explicitly prohibits abortion services to be included in basic benefits package (page 109).
MYTH: 'Page 211-Section 321 establishes a new government-run health plan that, according to non-partisan actuaries at the Lewin Group, would cause as many as 114 million Americans to lose their existing coverage'
FACT: This false estimate by the widely discredited insurance-company owned Lewin Group is based on legislation that is not being considered. In fact, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that employer coverage of health insurance will increase under the House bill, and that less than 10 million people who enter into the Exchange will choose the public health insurance option. Most Americans currently receive their health insurance through a employer-provided plan, and according to CBO, the House bill strengthens this employer-provided system - with even more Americans enrolled in employer-provided plans in 2019 under the House bill than under current law.
MYTH: 'Page 225-Section 330 permits-but does not require-Members of Congress to enroll in government-run health care'
FACT: It is true that the bill does not require Members of Congress to enroll in the public health insurance option. However, the bill does not require ANYONE to enroll in the public health insurance option. Providing affordable CHOICES to Americans is the whole point of reform. Under the bill, all those using the Health Insurance Exchange will have the choice of several private insurance plans, along with the public option. The only way anyone enters the public option is by their own individual choice. The bill simply includes a provision that provides Members of Congress the option of choosing the public health insurance plan, or keeping their private insurance group plan that is fully subject to all the reforms in the bill.
MYTH: 'Page 255-Section 345 includes language requiring verification of income for individuals wishing to receive federal health care subsidies under the bill-while the bill includes a requirement for applicants to verify their citizenship, it does not include a similar requirement to verify applicants' identity, thus encouraging identity fraud for undocumented immigrants and others wishing to receive taxpayer-subsidized health benefits'
FACT: Any individual applying for affordability credits will have to provide information to prove their identity, income and immigration status. In addition, the legislation sets up specific procedures to verify the information provided to ensure that those truly eligible are able to receive affordability credit. (Section 341) This claim actually reinforces that the bill will not give subsidies to people without legal immigration status.
MYTH: 'Page 297-Section 501 imposes a 2.5 percent tax on all individuals who do not purchase bureaucrat-approved health insurance-the tax would apply on individuals with incomes under $250,000, thus breaking a central promise of then-Senator Obama's presidential campaign'
FACT: The best way to curb rising health costs is to insure more Americans-so the average American family stops having to pay $1,000 extra each year to pay for emergency care for those who are not insured. In fact, it's the only way insurance reform works. Only with a bigger risk pool can the benefits of no discrimination for pre-existing conditions, no waiting periods, and no prices based on health status be enjoyed by all. For those holdouts who still decide not to buy affordable insurance, just as car insurance works, the House bill sets a fair penalty based on income. The bottom line is that few Americans are likely to pay to NOT have affordable insurance, instead of pay to be insured (with assistance based on income). Still, a hardship exemption applies if affordable insurance is not available.
MYTH: 'Page 313-Section 512 imposes an 8 percent 'tax on jobs' for firms that cannot afford to purchase 'bureaucrat-approved' health coverage; according to an analysis by Harvard Professor Kate Baicker, such a tax would place millions 'at substantial risk of unemployment'-with minority workers 'losing their jobs at twice the rate of their white counterparts'
FACT: Kate Baicker's 2007 analysis is fatally flawed because it is based on legislation that is not being considered. The House small business exemption excludes 86 percent of firms from a requirement to provide coverage. If a business is required and chooses not to provide coverage for its employees, then to help fund coverage for their employees, businesses with payrolls of $500,000 and up will be subject to a 2 percent of payroll contribution up to an 8 percent payroll contribution for businesses with payrolls of $750,000 and more. For small businesses who choose to cover workers, a tax credit will make it much more affordable. For those who do not, their workers can enter the Health Insurance Exchange with lower premiums like those a large group can negotiate, and with Affordability Credits to help them pay the premiums.
MYTH: 'Page 336-Section 551 imposes additional job-killing taxes, in the form of a half-trillion dollar surcharge, more than half of which will hit small businesses; according to a model developed by President Obama's senior economic advisor, such taxes could cost up to 5.5 million jobs'
FACT: The non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation finds that only the wealthiest 1.2 percent of all 'small business owners' would be affected-and they would fall into the 3/10ths of one percent wealthiest Americans who would pay the surcharge. A small business owner is defined as anyone with as little as $1 of business income. The health care surcharge would only be assessed on net profits of the small business above $1 million for joint filers and $500,000 for single filers - after employee salaries, business expenses, etc. are deducted from the adjusted gross income of small business owners. The wealthy business owners who will pay the surcharge are not what you would consider to be 'small business owners' - they include hedge fund managers, private equity fund managers, owners of privately held multinational corporations, and lawyers and lobbyists making millions of dollars. .
MYTH: 'Page 520-Section 1161 cuts more than $150 billion from Medicare Advantage plans, potentially jeopardizing millions of seniors' existing coverage'
FACT: The AARP says it best in their October newsletter: '...the changes actually aim to strengthen Medicare and improve beneficiaries' care and access to physicians...' And for those on Medicare Advantage specifically, AARP's Executive Vice President of Policy John Rother writes: 'Gradually eliminating these excess payments [to private Medicare Advantage plans] will permit good plans to continue and put pressure on others to offer better value to their enrollees... That's what fair competition is supposed to do.'
The House bill ends the overpayments to Medicare Advantage private insurance companies that have cost taxpayers billions more than traditional Medicare. Medicare Advantage plans are currently paid, on average, 14 percent more than traditional Medicare providers - and overpayments to certain plans exceed 50 percent. By eliminating these overpayments, the Affordable Health Care for America Act protects the Medicare program so that it will be sustainable for seniors over time, restores equity in the program by putting plans on a level playing field with traditional Medicare, and requires MA plans to become more efficient competitors by refusing to continue to pad their payments.
MYTH: 'Page 733-Section 1401 establishes a new Center for Comparative Effectiveness Research; the bill includes no provisions preventing the government-run health plan from using such research to deny access to life-saving treatments on cost grounds, similar to Britain's National Health Service, which denies patient treatments costing more than £35,000'
FACT: Comparative effectiveness research, which has been funded by the federal government for years, has nothing to do with rationing. Instead, this research is simply about giving doctors information they need and want to better serve their patients. The bill explicitly prohibits the Center for Comparative Effectiveness Research and the Comparative Effectiveness Research Commission from using this research to define, limit, or deny treatment or services: 'RESEARCH MAY NOT BE USED TO DENY OR RATION CARE. Nothing in this section shall be construed to make more stringent or otherwise change the standard or requirements for coverage of items and services.' (Section 1401, page 761)
MYTH: 'Page 1174-Section 1802(b) includes provisions entitled 'TAXES ON CERTAIN INSURANCE POLICIES' to fund comparative effectiveness research, breaking Speaker Pelosi's promise that 'We will not be taxing [health] benefits in any bill that passes the House,' and the President's promise not to raise taxes on families with incomes under $250,000'
FACT: It is clear that the referenced fee will be paid by insurance companies, not policy holders. This is not a tax on benefits. The fee will likely cost insurance companies approximately $2 per policy they hold and go to fund research regarding the relative strengths and weaknesses of particular health care items, services and systems and how they work for particular patient populations.

Several Days ago, I linked to a story about the Hershey Corporation suing a book publisher Simon & Schuster Inc. over images using Hershey images to market the book "Hershey: Milton S. Hershey's Extraordinary Life of Wealth, Empire and Utopian Dreams".
The lawsuit has been settled. The verdict?
The images stay on the book cover.
The book will, however, have a phrase stating that the book is "neither authorized nor sponsored by The Hershey Company."
I'm giving points to the author of the book, who, upon hearing the news, stated that the decision was "a victory for people who can't tell the difference between recycled paper and chocolate". A snarky man after my own heart.
It was a specious lawsuit from the start. The images of the candy bar have far exceeded their copyright time limit.
UPDATE: I boo-boo'd. The Image is a trademark, not a copyright, and the two are far different entities. However, there are laws regarding "fair use" and trademarks.
The Lanham Act permits a non-owner of a registered trademark to make "fair use" or "nominative use" of a trademark under certain circumstances without obtaining permission from the mark's owner. The fair use and nominative use defenses are to help ensure that trademark owners do not prohibit the use of their marks when they are used for the purpose of description or identification. Fair use or nominative use may be recognized in those instances where a reader of a given work is clearly able to understand that the use of the trademark does not suggest sponsorship or association with the trademark owner's product or services and therefore is not being used in a manner to confuse the reader.
Whether the use of the trademark on the book cover falls under "fair or nominative use", I leave it to you to interpret. Personally, if I were to pick up a book with the above cover, at no point would I think "Ah, Hershey signed off on this". But hey, that's simply my perspective.

The Facts About Affirmative Action in Employment and Education
Washington, DC - August 8, 2000 - Affirmative action remains one of the most contentious issues of public policy. It is hotly debated on talk shows, in op-ed pieces, and in news reports on and off the campaign trail. Typically, discussions are based on popular myths and misconceptions, with little or no grounding in empirical reality.
This media briefing seeks to add the "voice" of data and present the latest in research on affirmative action. The facts and findings about affirmative action in employment and education presented here are new and merit attention by the public and policymakers alike.
Three prominent sociologists, all experts on affirmative action, presented their work in a special media briefing on Monday, August 14th at 11:30 at the Marriott Wardman Hotel as part of the Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association in Washington DC.

The Breakfast Meeting
What's making news in media.
Svetlana Kuritsyna, a 20-year-old woman from an impoverished rural region of Russia, has become a media star on the basis of an innocent, somewhat inarticulate video interview in which she praises President Vladimir V. Putin. She can be seen as the polar opposite of Pussy Riot, the anti-Putin feminist punk band, three of whose members are now in prison, Sophia Kishkovsky writes. Ms. Kuritsyna is now the star of her own trashy reality show.
- Appearing in Beijing on Sunday, Elton John dedicated his concert "to the spirit and talent of Ai Weiwei," the Chinese artist and dissident, James C. McKinley Jr. reports, noting that, according to The Associated Press, there was no applause, only expressions of shock and a wave of murmuring. The Chinese government generally applies strict control to live concerts, requiring musicians to submit a detailed set list in advance.
The head of the trust that supervises the British Broadcasting Corporation testified before Parliament on Tuesday, saying the corporation's recent report that wrongly implicated a former Conservative Party politician in sexual abuse showed "appalling editorial judgment," Alan Cowell and John F. Burns report.
- The hearing in Parliament comes just days before a report on press ethics is set to be released. That report was prompted by the phone-hacking scandal mainly centered on Rupert Murdoch's British newspaper division. The variety of investigations and hearings into British journalism, Mr. Cowell writes, "illustrates once more the intensity of the scrutiny faced by journalists and editors in Britain at a time when the news business is struggling to make a painful and costly adjustment to the digital era."
The Times's public editor, Margaret Sullivan, looks at when (or whether) a critic should offer an entertainingly nasty review. Her peg is the widely circulated, take-no-prisoners review by Pete Wells of a Times Square restaurant opened by Guy Fieri, the Food Network star. After recounting a series of devastating reviews — including one that called Coldplay "the most insufferable band of the decade" — and potent put-downs by the likes of Dorothy Parker (that Katharine Hepburn could "run the gamut of emotions from A to B") she concludes:
Is it ever really acceptable for criticism to be so over the top, considering that there are human beings behind every venture? I think it is. That kind of brutal honesty is sometimes necessary. If it is entertaining, all the better. The exuberant pan should be an arrow in the critic's quiver, but reached for only rarely.

Allocation of Essential Use Allowances for Calendar Year 2010
- In accordance with the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer and the Clean Air Act, EPA is allocating essential use allowances to permit U.S. companies to obtain limited quantities of certain ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) that have been phased out of production.
- This action proposes an allocation of essential use allowances for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) to a U.S. pharmaceutical company for the manufacture of metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
- The allocations are based on the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) determination that 30.0 metric tons of CFCs are necessary for use in MDIs for 2010.
- Essential use allowances enable a person to obtain a controlled Class I ODS under an exemption to the regulatory ban on the production and import of these chemicals.
- Under the Montreal Protocol, exemptions may be granted for uses that are determined by the Parties to be "essential." Decision IV/25, taken by the Parties to the Protocol in 1992, established criteria for determining whether a specific use should be approved as essential, and set forth the international process for making determinations of essentiality.
- EPA allocates essential use allowances for exempted production or import of a specific quantity of a class I ODS solely for the designated essential purpose.
For Further Information
- For more information about this action, please email Jeremy Arling of EPA's Office of Atmospheric Programs or contact by phone at (202) 343-9055.

The Empire Axe is one of the best shooting markers at that price range or anything even close.

axe shoots great, but HOLD ONE BEFORE YOU BUY IT, i personally had the way it feels. Eteks are bulletproof cannons. I have a good friend with a g4, and that thing is the biggest POS I've ever messed with. Constantly goes down. His brother also owned a g4, and had little to zero issues with it. But if you do some reading, you will find more horror stories about dangerous power guns than fairy tails. If i were you, i would be shopping for axes (both used and new) and eteks. Shoot both at Jaegers / 280, and make your decision based off that. You will be pleased with both, if you can tolerate the way the axe feels.
Get dunked, nooblord.
