Vaccuum - Simplicity Verve vs Miele Titan
My small house is about 25% covered with berber carpet, and the rest are "naked" floors (although there is an area rug). I have 2 cats who like to kick litter out of their boxes. Today I have a canister Hoover Celebrity which I've had for 20+ years. Given the amount of dust around here even with regular cleaning, I'm guessing that the Hoover is now shooting out some amount of what it collects, plus I now have allergy issues - so I'm looking for a new vaccuum.
Today I checked out the Miele Titan and the Simplicity Verve (or S24L?). The Simplicity definitely seemed to have a more aggressive power head but the tools that come with it seemed a little skimpy. I don't mean the number of tools, I mean the quality of them. I think the filter systems are similar. The Miele provided the ability to turn the suction up or down, which was a nice feature.
Can anyone comment on the pros and cons of each of these vaccuums, or their own experiences - or do you have an alternative suggestion, given the details I've provided above ? Thanks in advance.
I've had a central vac for 10 years and hate it.
A few months ago I purchased the Miele S7 Marin (Swing in the US). I have wall to wall broadloom on 80% of my upstairs. I absolutely love that vacuum.
Just last week I got a great deal on a Miele S5580 (Saturn here in Canada). It came with the SEB 236 powerhead and the SBB 300 Parquet Tool. I LOVE this canister vacuum. It has tremendous suction and is so easy to manoeuvre and use.
I may never touch my central vac again. I love not having to lug a 35' hose around.
I'm including a link to Achoo Allergy which has some good information on the Titan.
While Miele makes some of the best vacuums, keep in mind they made a series of minor adjustments to bring the cost of the S2 models down. First, S2 vacuums lack a sealed system like the S5 series. If allergies are a concern for you, I would consider an S5 (although they are pricier).
Miele is the best at filtering some of the most penetrating fine particles .3-.5 microns. But the filtration standard that it meets EN1855 is dependent on all three pieces, HEPA filter, Active Air Clean dust bag and the Sealed System.
Many people are willing to sacrifice a few things here or there for a lower price while others are not. Indoor air quality was a huge concern for me. I like knowing that the air expelled from my Saturn is cleaner than the air in the room. If I am not going to use the central vac which exhausts to my garage, I want the vacuum I use to be sealed.
Good luck!
Here is a link that might be useful: Miele Titan
Thanks livebetter. That link you sent had some terrific info. Although first thinking I wanted a sealed system, I really don't want to pay the $$. My view is that whatever I get will be such an improvement over my 20+ year old hoover with virtually no filtration at all, that I will still be ahead in the end. Again - thanks for the input and very informative link.
I bought the Simplicity Verve.
Since I did all kind of searches online to find the price and couldn't, I'll post here that it was $600.
It's functionality seemed to compare with the Miele Calisto which was an additional $300 that I was NOT willing to pay.
All I can say is wow.... so far I love everything about it ! Easy to maneuver, great suction, tools are great. The only thing is that the buttons to rewind the cord, looks just like the power button. They should somehow be differentiated better. I'm sure I'll get used to it. All in all I'm a very happy customer.
I should have chimed in earlier, but have been busy. You made a good choice.
The power nozzle is more aggressive, plus you can adjust the height of the nozzle. This is much better than "self adjusting" power nozzle on the Miele. What I find people end up doing is turning the power down on the Miele, so that it is easier for them to push. By doing this, Miele users are not utilizing the power of the Miele.
You are going to find out also how much quieter the Verve is to your old Celebrity canister and how much better filtration you have. The cost of bags and filters are not going to be as much w/your vacuum compared to Miele.
You mentioned in a previous post, that the attachments seemed "skimpy". The attachments in the vacuum are on the small side, but should work ok. You should have also received a 3-in-1 tool, which fits on the wand. This is a much better tool than what is stored inside. It has a really thick natural haired dusting brush. If you flip the attachment to the other side and open the "wings", you will have an upholstery tool. Close those "wings" and you will have a curved crevice tool. When cleaning upholstery with this tool, I have found that the tool glides better when pulled back instead of pushed forward, when vacuuming a surface. You also have a nice quality floor brush.
Like the Miele, the Simplicity also allows you to adjust the motor speed.
Finding the correct foot pedal can be difficult, but most vacuum cleaners have symbols on each for "power" and "cord". That can be still difficult to see, when the pedals are black. There is a simple thing to get into the habit of doing. When looking to turn on the vacuum or rewind the cord, just look where the cord exits the vacuum. The cord storage entry will be on the side of the cord rewind pedal.
I believe that you will really enjoy your Simplicity. And remember, if you get stuck finding supplies like bags and filters, and no Simplicity dealer in site, a Riccar dealer will work also. Riccar and Simplicity dealers carry the same bags, since they are owned by the same company. The name of your Verve will be the Pristine, under the Riccar name.
Thanks GEGUY.... yes the black pedals are marked, but it is because they are black as you say - that makes it difficult to distinguish the markings. Yes I figured over time I would get used to the fact that the pedal near the cord, is the cord rewind pedal.
Funny too that you mention the sound. I've already noticed that the sound on the Verve does NOT make my cats run under the bed like my old Hoover celebrity. They run but just not as far.
I too think that I made the right choice... THANKS ! !

Giacomo Rizzolatti is Professor of Human Physiology at the University of Parma.
The extraordinary overlap between human and chimpanzee genomes does not result in an equal overlap between human and chimpanzee thoughts, sensations, perceptions, and emotions; there are considerable similarities but also considerable differences between human and nonhuman primate brains. From Monkey Brain to Human Brain uses the latest findings in cognitive psychology, comparative biology, and neuroscience to look at the complex patterns of convergence and divergence in primate cortical organization and function.Several chapters examine the use of modern technologies to study primate brains, analyzing the potentials and the limitations of neuroimaging as well as genetic and computational approaches. These methods, which can be applied identically across different species of primates, help to highlight the paradox of nonlinear primate evolution—the fact that major changes in brain size and functional complexity resulted from small changes in the genome. Other chapters identify plausible analogs or homologs in nonhuman primates for such human cognitive functions as arithmetic, reading, theory of mind, and altruism; examine the role of parietofrontal circuits in the production and comprehension of actions; analyze the contributions of the prefrontal and cingulate cortices to cognitive control; and explore to what extent visual recognition and visual attention are related in humans and other primates.The Fyssen Foundation is dedicated to encouraging scientific inquiry into the cognitive mechanisms that underlie animal and human behavior and has long sponsored symposia on topics of central importance to the cognitive sciences.

257. Milosevic and the Hague War Crimes TribunalJul 07, 2011
May 2002- The trial in the Hague of former Serb dictator Slobodan Milosevic marks a pivotal moment and is likely to be seen as such in history. It does not only have ramifications for Milosevic himself and for Serbia, but also for efforts to internationalize justice in this globalized, 21st century world. This is a world in which the United States has become the dominant power, as demonstrated by its military reach and its war on terrorism. more
338. Institutionalized Ethnic Division in Bosnia: A Way Forward for Iraq?Jul 07, 2011
September 2007 - Over the past few months, the Biden-Gelb plan has been widely discussed as a solution for the faltering policy in Iraq. A major component of the plan is to decentralize power in Iraq—Bosnian style—to the three main ethnic and religious groups in an effort to end the civil war. While the applicability of the Bosnian model has been challenged in the press based on the differences in the circumstances under which the Dayton Agreement was signed in Bosnia and the current environment in Iraq, the desirability of the Bosnian model has largely gone unchallenged. This meeting aimed at bringing up some of the rather uncomfortable realities that the Dayton model created in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The debate on what to do in Iraq should not ignore the fact that-although the fighting in Bosnia has ended-inter-ethnic cooperation and dialogue have languished. Twelve years after Dayton, Bosnia is still far from the effective, sovereign and democratic state that the agreement had envisioned. In the end the Bosnian model may serve up more questions than answers for Iraq. more
29. The Revolution of 1989: The Unbearable Burden of HistoryJul 07, 2011
This author asserts that symbolically, the new Polish republic will be regarded as a direct continuation of the prewar republic: what existed in the period between them will be enclosed in historical parentheses. This article examines what the reason is for this East European preoccupation with the past? Why do people get so excited when trying on this or that antiquated garb or disposing of the garbage of the past? more
169. The Fear of Islam In Croatian PoliticsJul 07, 2011
November 1998 - We know the story of ancient Balkan ethnic hatred is largely false: before the late 19th century, conflict in the Balkan peninsula generally ran between South Slavs and their imperial neighbors, not among the South Slavs themselves. That said, there was one genuinely ancient conflict in the region involving the Ottoman Empire. From the 13th to the 18th century, the Ottoman armies were a permanent threat to the South Slavs. Since many (but by no means all) of the Ottoman armed forces were of Slavic origin, kin to their enemies, this period of Ottoman wars can plausibly be seen as the sole example of "ancient" hatred in the Balkans. more
241. Understanding Radical Evil: Communism, Fascism and the Lessons of the 20th CenturyJul 07, 2011
October 2001- The comparison between Nazism and Communism is justified on both moral and scholarly grounds. But scholars are not judges, and the confusion between these two roles can make some scholars oblivious to important distinctions. French historian Francois Furet, in his correspondence with German historian Ernst Nolte, insisted that there is something absolutely evil, both at 1) the level of original intention and 2) the implementation of the utopian goals in Nazi practice. Comparable as the two mass horrors of Nazism and Communism are, however, there is something singular about the Holocaust. more
322. Eastern Europe's Romani Media: An IntroductionJul 07, 2011
March 2006 - Among the wealth of ethnic media outlets in Eastern Europe, the Romani media has grown faster than all others despite small audiences, poverty, illiteracy and the absence of cultural, linguistic, political and social cohesiveness of their natural constituency in the region. Consequently, except for their potential symbolic value, the growth of the Romani media appears to defy the customary functions, roles and effects of minority media: to aid in minority identity creation, cultural preservation and political participation. more
10. The Dynamics of DependencyJul 07, 2011
This paper analyzes the dynamics of dependency in Eastern Europe in the broader context of the ontology of socialism. The East European states' dependence on the Soviet Union since World War II, varying as it has in both content and form over time and from country to country, is so closely connected to the genesis of socialism in Eastern Europe that it should be regarded as an essential element in the ontoloqy of socialism in this region. more
152. The 1997 Parliamentary Elections In Poland: How Much DÉJA VU?Jul 07, 2011
February 1997 - Observers of Polish Politics may feel a strong sense of déja vu. Like the historic election of 1989 which precipitated the collapse of Communist regimes across Eastern Europe, Solidarity emerged victorious from the parliamentary elections of September 1997, a showdown between the former Communists and the Electoral Action Solidarity (AWS). The AWS, a coalition of the trade union "Solidarity" and several minor parties, won decidedly, with 33.8% of the votes and 201 of the 460 seats in the Sejm. The post-Communist Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) finished second with 27.1% of the votes and 164 seats. A distant third was the Freedom Union (UW) party, dominated by the former Solidarity intellectual elite, with 13.4% of the votes and 60 seats. It was followed by the Polish Peasant Party (PSL), the 1993-97 coalition partner of the SLD (7.3% and 27 seats), and the Movement for the Rebirth of Poland, another party with Solidarity roots (5.6% and 6 seats). The remaining two seats were won by the Silesian Germans, exempt from the 5% threshold as a national minority. Among those who didn't clear the threshold was the leftist Labor Union (UP) with 4.7%. more
225. Romania's First Post-Communist Decade: From Iliescu to IliescuJul 07, 2011
January 2001- The results of the presidential and parliamentary elections in Romania in November- December 2000 came as a surprise to those unaware of the sharp decline in popularity of both President Emil Constantinescu and the Democratic Convention (CDR), the coalition that swept him into office in the November 1996 elections. more
305. The Future of KosovaJul 07, 2011
October 2004 - The situation in the southern Balkans had generally been seen to be improving in 2003, with some institutional progress in Kosovo, the gradual implementation of the Ohrid Accords in Macedonia and activity on European Union (EU) accession in all countries. The international community was, though, excessively optimistic about the post-Milosevic climate in Serbia, which it believed would usher in a series of benevolent changes for the whole region and thus undermine nationalist sentiment in both Kosovo and Montenegro. In reality, little has changed in the Serbia-Kosovo relationship over the last three years. In this context, the Kosovo rioting and attacks on property and religious buildings in March 2004 were a shock to most of the international community. A number of random incidents led to the riots, which were also fueled by popular dissatisfaction with UNMIK's performance regarding unemployment and electric power generation. The riots did not halt the progress in transferring power and competencies to the new local institutions or the withdrawal of UNMIK from some spheres of Kosovo life. Nevertheless, they were a symbol of the deep underlying problems in Kosovo. more

Chris Lacy is back, and this time, he has a completely rewritten and redesigned launcher app for the Android world. Titled Action Launcher 3, the app has been rewritten from the ground up, and wouldn't you know it, a new pricing scheme has also been deployed.
Chris states that the update, "takes everything people really loved about Action Launcher in the past, mixes it with Google Now Launcher, and infuses it with Material Design." Sounds like the ultimate 3rd party launcher to me. (more…)

Best non-fading soap/detergent?
I've looked thru the archives and thought I should just ask this again, since products do evolve. What have you all been using that is best for not fading clothes? I used to use dreft in my old top loader and I found out that clothes didn't fade! Now I have a FL and have been using Sears, and Tide, and now baby's clothes don't look as good (though clean) and son's fav black t-shirts are fading much more quickly... Help!
You might try Tide Total Care, highly touted in the February 2009 issue of Good Housekeeping magazine. We'll probably give it a try when we need to buy more detergent.
Go to page 3 after you open the link.
Here is a link that might be useful: Good Housekeeping Awards
I see Tide Total Care is available in HE form but only as a powder. Maybe I'll try it and follow color loads with whites using powder at higher temperatures to reduce gunking risk. There seem to be a fair number of negative comments about its scent. I guess that's a see-for-yourself kind of thing.
Your best bet is to look for detergents that do not contain Optical Brighteners. Cheer HE and Tide Total Care HE contain them. Non-HE Cheer does not. Got that info from the company website and phone calls. I use either Cheer powder or a natural brand that doesn't contain OBA's, like Seventh Generation liquid (powder contains oxygen bleach)or Planet. Of course, I love Persil Color, but it's expensive. HTH, Todd
I use Charlies soap without a problem. I just make sure that anything new that is colored is washed a few times by itself in cold water with white distilled vinegar. The vinegar makes the dye in the clothing stick better.
Charlies won't remove any set dye, only the loose stuff. Hence why I wash in vinegar first.
Thank you for the information about Cheer. Do you know if they have abandoned the "no optical brighteners" policy (with the exception of the "Darks" formula)?
Their new marketing campaign "brighter after just one wash" makes me think they have turned a 180 on this one.
curiousshopper, I'm not sure, I emailed PG last week but was given a reply that was a bunch of proprietary information garbage. I will call tomorrow to find out. Will post any new info. I agree, it sounds dubious.
chipshot, Kirkland powder contains OBA's. It looks like their new natural liquid does not, cleans pretty well too. Also very low sudsing, unlike the regular liquids, that also contain OBA's.
Somebody better tell the airforce that cheer contains OB because their website states otherwise. It's two years old but I can't see them let this slip through- kinda important I would think.
Here is a link that might be useful: Optical brightners make ABUs dangerously easy to see
Wow, I have been washing clothes for 15 years and this is the first time that I ever heard of OBAs. I feel quite stupid honestly.
I use Tide, so now I know why my clothes keep fading. I've now switched to Cheer liquid for dark colors. (I'll try the new Tide Total Care for my pastel dress shirts and see how that goes.)
Does OxyClean fade clothes as well?
I have been using a lot of brands I can say Sears is not that cheap for big bottle - I don't use H.E brand wash machine and top loader at my house or laundry mat and second I find Gain to be have the most choices of smell and It seems to help with color. Cheer is not the best thing for my skin since it makes my makes my legs itch more when my mom would wash. I still use fabric softener to keep them smelling nice and I also figure out to keep the scent lasting a lot longer.
I've been using the Kirkland HE detergent for about 3 weeks and if I could return it, I would. It just recently dawned on me that I have more clothes now stained from clothes bleeding than I EVER have.
I've only had my FL for about 5 weeks and used All HE detergent before that and had no problems.
Talking about real fading, not the effects of optical brighteners, I believe that a non-fading detergent is one which neutralizes chlorine in the water. Consequently:
1) This isn't an issue if you have non-chlorinated well water, or if your water is treated to remove chlorine.
2) If your water does contain chlorine, then reduced detergent dosage could allow more fading.
I use either All Free and Clear or Cheer Free. Finding Cheer isnt always easy for me; it seems Tide has a monopoly on the market in my neighborhood. Most of the time I can only get All Free and Clear. I found Tide was the worstÂall of their detergents really faded my clothes--fast. I found Tide HE takes the dye off dark clothes, but leaves the dirt and stains on lights like towels and sheets. Years ago I took a textile class, the professor was adamant we NOT use Woolite--she said the stuff was caustic for fibers.
I noticed since I stopped using detergents with perfumes and dyes my clothes don't fade as much. Allergies and psoriasis forced me to switch to perfume and dye free detergent; less fading of my clothing was an unexpected bonus.
I live in black: black jeans; black t-shirts; black slacks; black jackets; black warm-up suits; black sock; black everything. If itÂs not black, itÂs navy blue. I have at least 2 dozen black t-shirts and 12 pair of black jeans in regular circulation--and a couple dozen "faded" ones for back-up. Because I wear so much black, fading is very noticeable to me.
IÂm wearing a pair of deep (nearly black) navy jeans right now. IÂve washed them 4 or 5 of times (in All Free and Clear), yet they are still so dark you would think they were brand new.
I admit it took me awhile to get use to the absence of perfume. I used scented detergent and fabric softener for years; I associated the artificial scent with "cleanliness"Âwhen I was forced to make the switch I really missed the clean "smell" of my laundry:(
My "No Fade" Laundry Routine: (*I understand I have the luxury of time now that my kids are grown and I no longer work--not everyone has such luxury and/or the desire to put this much energy into the task of laundry.)
1) I wash my darks inside out.
2) I do not over load the machine; I only fill my machine one-half to three-fourths capacity. I ignore what the manufacture says about capacity, soak six pair of jeans in water and see for yourself how heavy they get. Sure, the machine can handle more than six pair of soaking wet jeans, but friction destroys fiber--itÂs the jeans that cannot handle the weight and friction of six pair of jeans. I place items loosely in the tub so nothing is balled up.
3) I Measure! Measure! Measure! I use the correct amount of detergent for the load; too much detergent will cause fading.
4) I shake each garment out before I place it in the dryer; this allows for more even drying as nothing is balled up, twisted up, or knotted up.
5) I do not over dry; I stop the machine before cycle is up and remove clothing when there is just a tad bit of moisture in the fabric and hang everything up dry the rest of way.
Note 1: Mineral content in water will make clothes fade. If you have "hard" water a cup of vinegar added to the wash cycle will dissolve the minerals if you donÂt have a water softener or if you water isnÂt "hard" enough to justify the expense of a water softener. But a cup of vinegar is for a full load, using a standard agitator machine; I donÂt know how much vinegar to use in a FL or HE TL machine.
Note 2: ShrinkageÂmy former textile profession told me most shrinkage of natural fibers occurs when clothing sits in the residual heat in dryer after the cycle is finished; so if time constraints donÂt allow you to remove clothing just before the cycle is complete; try to remove and cool clothing as soon as the cycle ends.

Huuuuuuge bed along driveway
Hi everyone. I have a flag shaped lot with a long paved driveway. I think it's at least 300 feet long. On one side, the ground is is flat and it's just grass the whole way. On the other side, there is a 10-12 foot wide "bed" (huge mess) and the whole thing slopes up away from the driveway. Above that is the neighbors yard which is grass and it levels out up there, not much hill.
It's almost all full sun. It has some juniper, and a few small trees. My problem is that I DO NOT want to spend my time working on this 3000-4000 sq foot bed that you can't even see from the house. Some of it is covered with juniper, and yes I can pull the weeds out that grow through, but not when there is like 500 sq ft of juniper. Some of it is just bare ground, now with weeds 3 ft tall. I will not consider mulch.
I want a long term solution. The bed is too steep to mow with our tractor. Could weed whack it all periodically but that is not attractive. I'm very close to hiring a landscaper but thought you all may be able to help with some ideas about what to do with it.
My ideas so far: grass it in and buy a push mower for that area (but it's no where near any water so may be hard to get it started?) hydroseeding?
Kill it all and plant some kind of prairie grass that we can just cut down once per year (but how to keep the weeds/trees out? I do not know much about grasses
Thanks guys
We come across this challenge fairly often in my hilly area of northern California, especially homes that are situated in the wine growing region - long winding hilly driveways.
A common planting practice that we found to work well is to choose one variety of tree that is well adapted to the region and dot either side of the driveway with the trees ( Olives, oaks or crape myrtles) then under-plant it with a mass of drought tolerant / low maintenance/ high visual impact ornamental grass (pennisetum, stipa or festuca) - usually only one species and perhaps an accent mass planting of a contrasting sub shrub ( lavender,mexican sage, or teucrium.)
Then we apply a thick layer of mulch to keep the weeds down.
The ornamental grasses are weed wacked once a year and the accent shrub is cut back depending on the genus once a year.
Very low maintenance yet very high visual impact.
attached is one example on a relatively small entrance of about 150 ft long x 35 wide ( similar to your sq. ft. dimensions)
The trees are fruitless olives and the grasses are stipa tenuissima.
That looks very nice. Actually mine is not quite as steep as that one. I will take a pic when I get home... be prepared to be shocked and appalled.
I wonder how much it would cost to have a few hundred grass plants like that planted by a landscaping company and mulched... :-X
The cost will be determined by a variety of factors such as existing conditions that have to be eradicated before new planting can commence, existing soil structure and if soil amendments need to be imported and worked in, minor or major regrading, erosion control if required, irrigation if required, size and quantity of plants, local labor rates and local costs of plants, mulch, soil amendments and delivery rates.
It's a hard one to call - best to have a plan with specifications to work off of so that you can get exact comparable bids from two or three landscape contractors.
If you decide to draft up the plans yourself make sure you note as much information as possible so that you receive and apples to apples bid.
When there is not enough exacting information there is room for 'interpretation' which can vary wildly .
demo and existing weed /shrub removal
grading - minor or major - and or erosion control
soil prep - how much , type of amendment, how to mechanically work it into soil
plants - sizes , quanities and locations, tree stakes etc...
clean up , dump fees and recycle responsibilities
Yes the half Bradford pear will not be a fixture for much longer. The other 3 are white dogwoods
The first 2 pics show from left to right the start of the driveway any my house is to the right with the neighbors up at the top where you can see the grass.
Going toward my house
Going away from the house
Close up
Plugs would be small but economical, and they usually fill out very quickly. You won't find them in a retail nursery, though, would probably have to go through a wholesaler or wholesale/retail establishment. We've used them in planting up rain gardens and have yet to be disappointed.
Good riddance to the Bradford Pear - these have escaped cultivation and become invasive in our region.

Jelly Jars
If anyone has access to hotel size jelly jars, 1oz size I would be happy to trade some cuttings, seeds, plants for them. I use them for lip balms and herb oils I share with friends but I never get them back! I have a trade list if anyone can help me out. Thanks!
I dont have any to trade but I have some suggestions. I gather all the jars I can from garage sales. People will take a buck for many jars. As for as jars I give stuff to friends in, I reuse relish/pickle jars from the store. I have my friends save the ones with a popup lid. they reseal, as they have a plastic seal not clay. I never had a jar break as long as you go cold to hot gradually. Dont reuse mayonaise jars, they break. I also reuse ice tea jars with popup lids for my syrups as they reseal also.
Only a handful left but I have some 1oz "AC Round" clear vials. they are too tall for balms but great for some oils/extracts or as samplers.
a buddy sells these in his shop for $1.00 each but will surely trade providing you pre-pay shipping. they weigh roughly 20 grams a piece with caps. looking for anything on my want list + was considering hl MG b/c I have a nice north facing bare wall and no ideas. it's opposite this years veggie garden so i thought color for a change but any other suggestions or suprise welcome, i, like marie, love greenbeans so anything you think will do nice vertically against the wall is terrific. Used to run a local variety of string bean years ago along the same wall. You have a great trade list Marie, mine is empty so any help in the Heirloom dep't would be fantastic! I can fill a vial with pure fresh aloe from my new A. Vera pup for ya too if yer burnin' (you chicks MUST stop using those skin-cancer beds! lol) other than that i have not much to trade as i have started most everything and what has not been sown is going in.

For news articles about specific myeloma-related topics, click on these links:
bone disease, kidney failure, MGUS, maintenance therapy, peripheral neuropathy, secondary cancer, smoldering multiple myeloma, and stem cell transplants.
Results of a recent retrospective study conducted at the Mayo Clinic indicate that the survival of patients with nonsecretory multiple myeloma has improved over the last decade.
Nonsecretory multiple myeloma is a rare form of myeloma in which a patient's disease cannot be diagnosed or tracked by the presence of monoclonal protein in the blood or urine. This is not the case for most myeloma patients, who have "secretory" disease which can be tracked using lab results such as a patient's "M-spike" or free light chain levels.
The authors of …
A recently published study may change the goals many myeloma specialists use to make treatment decisions for newly diagnosed myeloma patients planning on having a stem cell transplant.
The study also has potentially broader implications. Indeed, it may influence ongoing debate on a fundamental controversy about how multiple myeloma, in general, should be treated.
The authors of the new study looked at data for 539 myeloma patients who failed to achieve even a partial response to their initial (induction) treatment regimen after diagnosis.
After their initial treatment failed, some of the …
The results of a recently published study show that, among newly diagnosed myeloma patients, African-Americans are less likely than white Americans to have the four most common myeloma-related chromosomal abnormalities.
The authors of the study investigated how often the chromosomal abnormalities t(11;14), t(4;14), del(13q), and del(17p) were present in two different groups of newly diagnosed myeloma patients. One group consisted of African-Americans, the other of white Americans.
Each of the four abnormalities occurred less frequently in the African-American patients.
In addition, almost two-thirds of the African-American patients (63 percent) did …
Initial results of a large, head-to-head clinical trial show that relapsed myeloma patients treated with high-dose Kyprolis and dexamethasone had twice the progression-free survival of relapsed patients treated with Velcade and dexamethasone.
Median progression-free survival in the Phase 3 trial was 18.7 months in trial participants treated with high-dose Kyprolis (carfilzomib) and dexamethasone (Decadron), compared to 9.4 months in patients treated with Velcade (bortezomib) and dexamethasone.
The results of the so-called "ENDEAVOR" trial were announced this past Sunday evening in a press release issued …
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Monday approved Farydak (panobinostat) for the treatment of multiple myeloma (see related Beacon news).
Since the FDA announced its decision, multiple myeloma patients, caregivers, and health care professionals have been asking a number of important questions about Farydak. This article compiles many of those questions and provides answers to them.
The information in this article is based primarily on the official, FDA-approved prescribing information for Farydak. In addition, The Beacon has received feedback in regard to …
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved panobinostat, which will be marketed under the brand name Farydak, for the treatment of relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma.
Specifically, Farydak has been approved for use in combination with Velcade (bortezomib) and dexamethasone (Decadron) in patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least two prior standard therapies.
The two prior therapies must include Velcade and at least one treatment from the immunomodulatory class of drugs, which includes Revlimid (lenalidomide), thalidomide, and Pomalyst …

Latest Amargosa Pupfish Station Stories
Scientists estimate that fewer than 100 Devils Hole pupfish remain in their Mojave Desert home, but a conservation biologist at the University of California, Berkeley, is giving important guidance in the efforts to rescue them by establishing a captive breeding program.
By Keith Rogers By KEITH ROGERS REVIEW-JOURNAL Tiny neon-blue pupfish that are struggling to survive in a spring- fed cave in Nye County have rebounded this fall to 126 adult fish, 34 more than last fall's count and the highest number recorded since 2004, a federal biologist said Wednesday.
Scientists trying to study the endangered Devils Hole pupfish near Death Valley inadvertently nudged the endangered fish closer to extinction.
Latest Amargosa Pupfish Station Reference Libraries

Help Identifying
BellasMom02February 15, 2013
If anyone could help me identify this leaf or strand of leaves it would be greatly appreciated. I picked it for a project for college course not realizing I would need to know it's name so I did not pay attention to the source. I know it was a shrub or a tree - since I haven't had much luck finding it on the tree leaf identification sites I think it was a shrub. I live in the Sacramento, CA area to narrow down the options. Thank you for any help.

Hard to tell. Was it blooming or did it have any fruit? A shrub or a tree. That doesn't narrow it down too much. How high?
Was it more upright or weeping? A photo of the entire plant would help.
I'm thinking maybe Podocarpus, or maybe even Callistemon. Heck maybe even oleander.

what rose?
auntyeverlastingSeptember 6, 2010
There does not seem to be much activity on the Roses in Oz forum, so I will give it a try here.... I have searched through forums, magazines, books, but the lists are endless!
This is the first of my roses to bloom. We moved into our house (in Australia) a year ago, there were a number of neglected roses as well as a few dead ones. I have pruned them and loved them but don't know what any are other than the few I replaced with bare-root roses a couple of months ago.
This rose bush gets LOADS of blooms. They don't have a scent. The bush is big, the biggest of all the one's I have here, it stands over a meter tall I guess.
Any ideas?

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Nabby In Goal
by Paul on 04/07/07 at 11:33 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the Mercury News,
When the Sharks end the regular season today against Vancouver, expect to see Evgeni Nabokov starting in goal - just as he has for 22 of the team's 25 games since Valentine's Day.
A season that began with an unconventional goalie rotation is finishing in a more traditional manner. Nabokov, who rode the bench a year ago when Vesa Toskala emerged as San Jose's playoff netminder, is back in the starting role that a $5 million salary might indicate is rightfully his.
Other numbers help explain why. Nabokov's 2.25 goals-against average and .915 save percentage are much improved over last season. So is his confidence.

Migrants honored for their successes at education conference
NAPLES - He is a child of migrant farmworkers and was a farmworker himself starting at age 6.
Pedro Salazar III, a first-generation Mexican-American and an Immokalee High School graduate, knows exactly what it's like to grow up as a migrant farmworker.
Salazar, along with two former Immokalee High students and two district employees, were honored Wednesday at the 2008 Florida Migrant and Homeless Education State Conference.
Salazar was recognized as the 2008 Migrant Success Story of the Year during a luncheon banquet at the Naples Grande Beach Resort, 475 Seagate Drive.
"It's a very humble experience," Salazar said. "It was unexpected."
Salazar recalled helping his migrant parents harvest tomatoes in the fields during the weekends, summers and whenever he had free time.
After graduating high school, he decided to attend a vocational school in New Mexico.
"I didn't want to end up in the fields," he said.
And he didn't.
In 1985, he established his own Immokalee-based business, Salazar Welding Service, which later grew to Salazar Machine & Steel Inc.
In 2007, Salazar's design and patented Produce Bin Washer GCS won state recognition and was recently honored by the National Society of Professional Engineers. Salazar married his high school sweetheart, Immokalee High School Principal Linda Salazar.
Having grown up as a migrant child, Salazar knows the challenges the school's students and families face on a daily basis.
The successful businessman understands the importance of education and provides internships at his business for high school students interested in exploring a career in engineering.
More than 20 Collier County students were honored during the conference, along with many other students across the state.
Two other Immokalee High School students awarded were class of 2008 graduates Joaquin Espinoza and Severa Trevino. Espinoza was recognized as the 2008 Rising Male Scholar of the Year, while Trevino was named the 2008 Rising Female Scholar of the Year. Both students weren't able to attend the event because they were in school.
An estimated 400 staff, students and parents from across the state attended the first joint Florida Migrant and Homeless Education three-day conference, which provided information from local, federal and state officials.
"We are very proud of the students," said Alice Matthews, director of the Florida Migrant Interstate Program. "These are the best and the brightest."
During the peak season in Immokalee, up to 40 percent of students qualify for the migrant program.
The Collier County School District serves about 8,000 migrant children and youth, officials said.
Principal Linda Salazar said the awards recognize students' success despite challenges in their lives.
Through his 21 years in the county's homeless education, Earl Wiggins, supervisor of Title I/Migrant Programs, said he has noticed a decrease in the youth assisting their families working in the fields.
The Collier school district was also honored during the annual event. It received the Outstanding Florida Homeless and Migrant Education Programs Collaboration Award, presented to District Homeless Education Liaison Karen Morgan and Wiggins. Both were recognized for their collaborative efforts to identify homeless migrant children and youth.
"It just shows that the district can collaborate with other programs to help kids," Wiggins said. "If it can be done here, it can be done anywhere."
Award recipients received a plaque.
Wiggins said he was honored to have the conference hosted in Collier County, which has one of the state's largest migrant populations in its school district.
He said the conference has been very informative, learning about changes in the national migrant policies and procedures.

Why doesn't Atlanta support Atlanta when it comes to Sports??
Over the past 40 years the Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta Braves and Atlanta Hawks have had interesting franchise histories. The Atlanta Hawks have never advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Atlanta Braves have one World Series despite having the most dominate starting pitching in history at one point. The Atlanta Falcons until recently had never had back to back winning seasons. Yes, "winning" isn't something Atlanta as a whole is known for immediate as opposed to the New York Yankees (almost three decades worth of World Series rings), Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bulls (Jordan era), etc.
But, does that mean that fans have an excuse not to show up to games at all? What makes Atlanta so much different from Indiana (Pacers haven't won a Finals yet), Chicago (Cubs still manage to have nice draws and they haven't won anything), or the Cleveland Browns (people keep referring them as a storied franchise, but they haven't won anything either). So what is it? "Hotlanta" would seem to be the best spot to be a sports fan. Great stadiums, great food, night life, and in the end, teams that are much more regularly competitive yearly than others (until recently Falcons had a 6 year streak going, Hawks have made playoffs 7 straight years, Braves regressed this year after having a great year last year).
Are you a resident of Atlanta? Did you used to live in Atlanta? Are you a sports fan of any of the teams? Call in and give your thoughts....

I am developing on a prestashop website that has two js scripts that are executed at the same time, when the document is ready. Both are ajax petitions. My problem is that the user I use to connect to the database has a maximun of one connection at the same time and,as both scripts are executed at the same time, it always throws an exception.
I was wondering if there is some way to make an script way until there are not petitions to the server. I mean, making the second script wait until the first one has finished it's job.
It would be great if I could do this without having to change the first one, as it's a default script of Prestashop.
Thank you beforehand :)

Drones come in many shapes and sizes nowadays. But the color schemes are not diverse — zingy colors and go-faster stripes are the norm. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but some folks have darker tastes. Enter BHD's soon-to-be-released, limited edition Black Hawk, which can only be described as a "Batmodrone". It also happens to be a very decent starter drone, complete with camera, and it currently has a 55% discount on pre-orders. Read More
3D-printed UAV now sports ducted fan motors
Back in April, we first heard about a 3D-printed UAV airframe that could be fabricated within 24 hours. Created by a Boeing-assisted team at the University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Center, it was a gliding prototype that would require the addition of a motor and an external propeller for powered flight. Its recently-announced successor, however, features integrated electric ducted fan motors. Read More
