Handicapness due to Limb Gangrene & Amputation
Limbs For Life Interventions in Peripheral Vascular Disease
1) What Is Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD)?
This refers to disease of blood vessels outside the heart and brain. It's often a narrowing of vessels that carry blood to the legs, arms, hand & foot. PVD can result from atherosclerosis, inflammatory processes leading to stenosis, an embolism or thrombus formation. The commonest cause of PVD is atherosclerosis, where a waxy substance forms inside of the arteries. This substance is called plaque. It is made of cholesterol, fats, calcium, and a blood-clotting material called fibrin. When enough plaque builds up on the inside of an artery, the artery becomes clogged, and blood flow is slowed or stopped. This slowed blood flow may cause "ischemia," which means that your body's cells are not getting enough oxygen.
2) What are the symptoms of PVD?
While clogged coronary arteries (the arteries that supply your heart with blood) may lead to a heart attack, and clogged carotid arteries (the arteries that supply your head with blood) may lead to a stroke (Brain Attack). Similarly clogged peripheral arteries of the limbs most often cause pain and cramping in the legs which may progress to gangrene.
Patients may feel pain in their calves, thighs, or buttocks, depending on where the blockage is. Usually, the amount of pain you feel is a sign of how severe the blockage is. In serious cases, your toes may turn a bluish color, your feet may be cold, and the pulse in your legs may be weak. In some cases, the tissue dies (this is called gangrene) and amputation may be needed.
Sometimes leg cramps develop when a person walks, and the leg pain usually gets worse with increased activity. This cramping is called intermittent claudication. Like the chest pain of angina, the leg pain of intermittent claudication usually goes away with rest.
3) What are the diagnostic tests for PVD?
Doctors can make a diagnosis by listening to you describe your symptoms and by checking for a weak pulse in the arteries in your feet. Further tests may include Ultrasound Doppler which is a test that uses sound waves to produce an image of blood flow through your arteries.
Angiography, which is a test that may be performed if your doctor thinks your condition, is serious enough for a transcatheter intervention or surgery. The test uses a harmless dye that is injected into the arteries. It lets doctors see where and how serious the blockage is.
4) How is a blockage (PVD) treated-Role of Interventional Radiologist?
Interventional Radiologist is a physician who can diagnose and treat various vascular & non vascular conditions through a very small hole in the body using Cath lab/DSA guidance. Interventional procedures are safer & less cumbersome for patients as they involve no surgical incision, less pain & shorter hospital stay.
When the blockages in the blood vessels are not severe, this form of PVD can be controlled by losing weight, quitting smoking, and following a regular exercise program & medications that has been approved by your doctor. A transcatheter intervention (balloon angioplasty or a peripheral stenting) may be needed for a severely blocked artery that is causing pain or other symptoms. Interventional Radiologist can open these blocked or narrowed blood vessels to regain the normal blood flow to the affected body part.
Angioplasty is a non-surgical procedure used to dilate (widen) narrowed or blocked peripheral arteries. A thin tube called a catheter with a deflated balloon on its tip is passed into the narrowed artery segment. The balloon is then inflated, compressing the plaque and dilating the narrowed artery so that blood can flow more easily. Then the balloon is deflated and the catheter is withdrawn.
In Stenting – a cylindrical, wire mesh tube (Stent) — is placed in the narrowed artery with a catheter. There the stent expands and locks open. It stays in that spot, keeping the diseased artery open.
Some time Thrombolytic therapy may be needed for clot dissolution. In this technique interventional Radiologist can insert multi side hole catheter inside the clot responsible for blockage. And via this catheter he can deliver clot dissolving lytic agents inside the thrombus in the pulse spray fashion. If the narrowing or blockage involves a long portion of an artery, surgery may be necessary to remove blockage from arteries or to bypass the blocked vessel. Vascular surgeon performs these procedures.
5) How do I Know I am at risk for PVD?
The risk factors for atherosclerosis in the peripheral arteries are the same as those for atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries. Smoking – tobacco, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and high cholesterol are believed to lead to the development of plaque.
A person with PVD has a six to seven times greater risk of CAD, heart attack, stroke, or transient ischemic attack ("mini stroke") than the rest of the population. If a person has heart disease, he or she has a 1 in 3 chance of having blocked arteries in the legs. Early diagnosis and treatment of PVD, including screening high-risk individuals, are important to prevent disability and save lives. PVD treatment may stop the disease from progressing and reduce the risk of heart attack, heart disease, and stroke.
If you are having one of these precipitating cause factors and the symptoms, you should alert yourself for PVD & consult your personal physician / Interventional Radiologist for an evaluation at the earliest. So that to avoid the consequences of PVD like gangrene & amputation of limbs. Because limbs are for life!
6) Where can I get it done?
There are very few centers all over India with Interventional Radiology facilities. We at CARE HOSPITAL NAGPUR, having this Department of Interventional Radiology for due patient care at affordable cost.

I have a 2001 Toyota Sienna,that I bought new,it now has 88,000 miles,on it.I have kept up with the maintance and kept a log in the owner manual,since new.The only thing I have had done was have the fluids change,no real problems,still runs good,my question is the maintance book says to change the timing belt at 90,000 should I have the belt change or not,if not would it cause serious damage to the engine.This is the first time the maintance cause for this.I have a friend that has a 98 model he has change his three times,his book shows to change it at 60,00 miles.Any thoughts.
Follow-Up Postings:
if it goes, it will trash the top end of the engine, big bucks!! now if your willing to gamble, most likely you can get another 20 to 30 thousand miles from it. now me i would let it go, but after 100k i dont care, i`ll just buy another car. so if buying another car is no big deal, gamble and let it go, if not, you better replace it. your call. |
Take a look at the belt if there is a area you can see it from the cover being in the way?Use a light to see the condition if there are any cracks better replace it.I passed up a chance at a used Ford Ranger pickup truck awhile back after noticing cracks in the belt. |
Replace the timing belt - Don't gamble on this. If you decide to trade the vehicle at 100,000 miles, it will be worth more with a replaced belt than trying to sell it with a trashed engine. [A few overhead cam engines are free turning - pistons won't hit the valves if the belt breaks. I don't take a chance on this until I know for sure; Always assume the pistons will hit the valves until proven otherwise.] |
Thanks for the replies,I will have it replaced. Jerry |
The boys are giving you some good advice, if the engine is one with a certain clearence setup and the timing belt goes it will definitely trash the valve system and who knows what else on the engine, the repair will cost big bucks, replacing the timing belt is a smart move. |

The two larger bananas, planted the end of March, are Gran Nains. They were both planted the same, or very similarly. Dug a little hole, maybe 3-5 gallons, dumped in some of whatever(?) soil I had handy, mixed in a cup or so of lime and a cup or so of general purpose granular fertilizer. Since planting, I've sprinkled more general purpose fertilizer around the base, neither measuring or turning into the soil very well. Also, I've placed banana peels around the base, dumped grass clippings on that, etc. The one on the right has always looked so healthy, not that I would really know since I've never grown bananas before, but it's looked healthy to me. It was probably putting out a new leaf every 2-3 days at one time, around solar solstice when light was stronger and longer? The one on the left, under identical(or similar) conditions, has always lagged behind. Maybe it just didn't shoot roots down to the moist zone as quickly? Maybe the conditions weren't as identical as I thought? Perhaps it was just genetically weaker, or maybe it just for whatever reason got shocked a little more during shipping, or transplanting? It's always looked rattier, yellower, weaker than the one on the right, although, at least in this photo, it seems to be catching up a little bit? Oh well, doesn't matter, looks well enough that I won't worry about it, I'll just give it a little extra fertilizer. Which brings me to my question... Any idea when I might expect fruit? Assuming of course that a freeze doesn't take them out this Winter. Is it possible that I might get fruit in December? |
Follow-Up Postings:
From what I read from other more experienced growers is that they will fruit when they are ready.I have two Bajoos with a dozen hands of fruit , inedible of course, and an Ice Cream on its third year, massive size doing nothing but growing and putting out one pup after another.No fruit yet from my IC, or Namwa I was told. |

Thanks bamatufa. I suppose it will be a "wait-and-see" deal then. BTW, the two "babies", also along the fence, are Ice Creams. Sounds like I'll really have to be patient with them. :) |
You are in Vero Beach, Fl. ? Below the frost line ? Lucky you! If no frost then probably 6-12 months. |

Kinda right on the line I think. When I first moved here(from Ohio), Oct. 2010, the Realtor pretty much assured me it would be safe to plant tomatoes and we promptly had the coldest December on record, lots of below freezing nights/mornings. http://classic.wunderground.com/history/airport/KVRB/2010/12/1/MonthlyHistory.html#calendar And it often gets a couple degrees colder here(7 miles inland) than the airport(maybe 2 miles inland). Last Winter was mild all Winter right up into March and then frosted. So, I guess you never know here. I was here over two years before I even thought of bananas, and then only because I noticed them growing in neighborhood yards. I need to find something I can grow, I sure don't much luck with tomatoes. :) |
Chuggerguy, Your two bananas look pretty healthy there. Usually bananas require 2-3 years' time to establish themselves into a mat (a family of mom and one or more pups) before the mom sends out her first bloom. If they fruit early on in the summer, it's the best because the harvest which is about 4 months from when it starts to bloom will be before the cold weather arrives. I have had some bananas fruited in the late summer--only to meet with the fruit destruction when the weather freezes. Also, when the cold weather comes, their growth rate will all slow down. Here in the bay area, we do get the light freeze that will damage most of the bananas except for some cold hardy varieties. That happened a lot in the past years. When that happens, all the bananas have to start from scratch and build up their family mats all over again, but thankfully last few years we had very mild winter and so many of them were able to survive and some did send out blooms. With that said, however, there are simply some varieties that are more willing than the others to fruit under the right condition. Many of the varieties I have here haven't even fruited once for me, but I've seen Raja Puri and Lady Finger fruiting every growing season. The less frequent ones are the Praying Hands, plantain, Mysore, Valery and Mona Lisa. I have both the Gran Nain (with green leaves) and a Sumatrana (Gran Nain cross) which has red/green variegated leaves. I haven't seen any of them fruit since planting them many years back. It could be that I haven't given them enough water and nutrients. I'm guessing some varieties will need extra care for water and nutrient needs than the others ... I just don't know the reason yet, but I just find that among all, Raja Puri and Lady Finger are the least demanding of all. Enjoy your beautiful bananas. I'm sure in time to come, they'll all grow into nice, big and healthy plants and you can look forward to their first bloom. By the way, you'll know when they're about to bloom. They'll send out a flag leaf which is a tiny little leaf to announce that the bloom is forthcoming. Within a week, or so, the bloom will peak out and the banana will stop sending out leaves and concentrate on the fruit development. We're always happy to see a flag leaf showing up. Picture below here shows a flag leaf. |

Thanks bananafan. Yes, I do enjoy watching them grow. I walk out first thing every day... right after starting my coffee that is, just to see how much they've grown. :) Your plants look great. It helps knowing what the flag leaf looks like. |

2012-2013 Changes to Federal Financial Aid Programs
Overview of Recent Changes to Student Aid Programs
Recent changes in federal law could affect your financial aid eligibility for
the upcoming academic year and in the future. Most of these changes are effective
with the 2012-2013 school year (July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013).
Federal Student Loan Changes
Direct Subsidized loans will not
be eligible for an interest subsidy during the six-month grace period.
This provision eliminates the interest subsidy provided during the six-month grace
period for which the first disbursement is made on or after July 1, 2012, and before
July 1, 2014. If you receive a subsidized loan during this timeframe, you will be
responsible for the interest that accrues while your loan is in the grace period.
You do not have to make payments during the grace period (unless you choose to), but
the interest will be added (capitalized) to the principal amount of your loan when
the grace period ends. This provision does not eliminate the interest subsidy while
the borrower is in school or during eligible periods of deferment.
Graduate and professional students are no longer eligible to
receive Subsidized loans, effective
for loans made for payment periods that begin on or after July 1, 2012. However,
if you are a graduate or professional student, you may still qualify for up to $20,500
in unsubsidized loans each year.
The U.S. Department of Education can no longer offer borrowers
repayment incentives, effective for loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 2012.
The one exception to this provision is the repayment incentive that provides interest
rate reductions to borrowers who agree to have payments automatically debited from their
bank account.
Federal Pell Grant Program: Duration of Eligibility
Once you have received a Pell Grant for 12 semesters or the equivalent,
you will no longer be eligible for additional Pell Grants.
If you have exceeded the 12-semester maximum, you will lose eligibility for additional
Pell Grants beginning in 2012-13 school year. Equivalency is calculated by adding together
the percentage of your Pell eligibility that you received each year to determine whether
the total amount exceeds 600%.
For example, if your maximum Pell Grant award amount for the 2010-2011 school year was
$5,550, but you only received $2,775 because you were only enrolled for one semester,
you would have used 50% of your maximum award for that year. If in the following school
year, you were enrolled three-quarter time, you would have used 75% of your maximum award
for that year. Together, you would have received 125% out of the total 600% lifetime limit.
Expected Family Contribution
When you complete the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) you receive an Expected
Family Contribution (EFC), which is a number used to determine your federal student
aid eligibility. The lower a student's EFC, the higher the student's federal student aid
eligibility. For the 2012-13 school year, you will automatically
qualify for an EFC of zero if your family income does not exceed $23,000. This is
a reduction from the previous maximum income of $32,000.

I just got in 10 bare root white pines from the arbor day foundation. Due to time constraints and on going landscaping I really don't have time to plant them outside where they will eventually go. Is it safe to put them in 1 gallon pots with good soil until spring time?. I have already done this and they are currently sitting in my garage as of yesterday. My plan was to do this but I am unsure as if this will harm them and if it won't harm them, should I leave them in my garage where they get virtually no sun light or should I put them outside in the pots until spring or even next fall? |
Follow-Up Postings:
The best thing is to put the pots in the ground. You can't keep them outside in pots, they will get wet, and the roots will be frozen and they will die. The garage is better. If possible put them on their sides to stop any growth, water about once a month. You don't want the soil to completely dry out. But you don't want it very wet either. I never dealt with pine trees, but this is what i would do with fruit trees. Cover the roots with hay or blankets if possible too. They need to be insulated, but even if not and even if upright, should be ok. Plant them ASAP in the spring. Don't worry about frosts, as long as the ground is workable, you can plant them. Last spring our last frost was April 25th, but I planted trees March 15th, the ground was no longer frozen. The trees did great! |
I'm wondering what planting zone you are in and why they would send you trees in Dec.? Doesn't seem like a good plan. |
A lot of the west coast Nurseries offer their bare roots in December. Latest for CA is the first week in March., I have ordered bare root from Bay Laurel, and March, the first week is the very latest they can send bare root. Grow Organic can send at the latest January. I like to experiment with some west coast trees and bushes. Best to buy close by, but many new fruit tree hybrids are developed on the west coast, and I want to see how well they do here. I have some Southern Highbush blueberry bushes coming in March from Bay Laurel. |

Sports are increasingly becoming a tool to promote charities and social development within the Balkans and Turkey.
By Menekse Tokyay for SETimes in Istanbul -- 28/11/12
Members of Adim Adim push a wheelchair-bound participant during the Istanbul Eurasia Marathon. [Murat Vanli] |
The power of sports to support the socio-economic disadvantaged in the Balkans and Turkey is taking root at the grassroots level. Professional and amateur athletes, sports clubs and groups are working with local civil society groups to promote charity and social welfare.
The beneficiaries of such charity activities range from the handicapped to hospitals and students.
Adim Adim, or Step-by-Step, is a volunteer-based social initiative in Turkey that encourages people to do sports such as running, trekking, swimming and cycling to raise funds for social causes. The initiative currently supports the Bugday Association to develop organic farming, Educational Volunteers Foundation of Turkey, Turkish Spinal Injury Association, and the Community Volunteers Foundation. To date, Adim Adim has collected 2.5 million TL (1.1 million euro).
Yonca Tokbas, a member of Adim Adim, first became aware of the organisation's activities four years ago as she ran across the Bosphorus Bridge during the Istanbul Eurasia Marathon.
"They were trying to raise awareness for the handicapped by pushing the wheelchairs of our handicapped friends. I was so impressed and started to run not only for myself, but also for the benefit of other people," Tokbas said. "I'm running, I'm acting, and I'm making you act through your charity."
Another group involved in social initiatives is the Shaman Dance Theatre, which combines folk dances and music of Anatolia. At a recent event, the group helped the Handicapped Foundation of Turkey raise money to construct an education centre for 8,000 disabled people. The group will perform on December 18th in Istanbul to benefit the Educational Volunteers Foundation of Turkey.
Murat Uygun, the group's art director, says that sports have an instrumental role in creating societal awareness and solidarity with the needy.
"The Shaman group has integrated various dance routines into our performances to serve an ideal. This has not been tried much in Turkey up to today. By turning our activities into charity drives we show the wider public that we care about disadvantaged groups. As we help the needy, especially in such an innovative way, I can see how powerful sports are," Uygun told SETimes.
Countries in the Balkans have also witnessed a rise in similar initiatives using sports for charity drives and social activities.
On November 21st, Muslim imams and Catholic priests organised a football match to raise funds for a new kindergarten in Zenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The initiative collected 1 euro from each of the more than 4,000 people who attended the game.
Novi Pazar, the biggest city in Serbia's largely Muslim populated Sandzak region, started building a sports complex a decade ago, but couldn't finish it due to lack of money. The municipality of Pendik in Istanbul, which is the sister city of Novi Pazar, helped finish the facility, which houses sports associations and clubs. The sports groups carry out various charity activities to support disadvantageous groups in the society.
Sadetin Mujezinovic, a member of the Novi Pazar city council, told SETimes that sports provide an avenue to promote charities.
"In such moments of economic crisis, there are a lot of people who need help and this is good way to do that by joint sportive efforts," he said.
Meanwhile, in Romania, the Bucharest-based Children's Heart Association has been running several campaigns to raise funds for hospitals. Enona Chiriac of the Children's Heart Association told SETimes one of the most successful campaigns was conducted by Paul Dicu, who ran hundreds of miles in the heat and sands of the Sahara.
"He wanted to run for our association during Marathon des Sables 2012, which is one of the toughest competitions around the world. You have to run for 250 kilometres, pass through the deserts for seven days, carrying a backpack with all necessary food for a week, survival kit and necessary clothes," Chiriac said.
The association's campaign, "Following the Steps of Paul," brought together Romanians who encouraged Dicu and provided donations to the association. In the end, donations in support of Dicu from Romanians and ING Life were used to buy supplies, equipment and educate medical personnel for the association's cardiac department.
SETimes correspondents Gabriel Petrescu in Bucharest and Ivana Jovanovic in Belgrade contributed to this report.

I just ordered a walk behind Vacuum-Chipper-Bagger.
I know I won't get the same results as with a stand alone hammermill unit, but I'm hoping that this will be a good compromise for general twig/small branches and leaf clean up. Anyone have any experience with this one? |
Follow-Up Postings:
No one else owns one of these great little machines? I've been using mine for about six weeks now. No complaints so far. I have about 2/3ac with a bunch of mature oaks, maples and hickories. I was somewhat skeptical about the chipper's ability to handle old dry twigs. It easily takes care of anything small enough (2-7/8") to get down the chipper section's throat. The shredder section shares the same flywheel as the chipper with three serrated knives doing the shredding. The advertised 8:1 reduction may be optimistic, but it still does a nice job on leaves. I've been using the chipper to clean up all the dead stuff that came down over the tough winter/spring we had. I put it in my planting beds as additional material under mulch. The chips are, for the most part, thumb nail sized. I would definitely recommend this machine for anyone with a similar sized yard for general clean up. |
I don't have that one but I do have a mid 90s 8HP Troy Bilt Chipper Vac that has been excellent for fall clean-up on my large Ohio property. I'm tempted to pick one up for my Florida place but I have so many toys that I can't figure out where I would keep it. |

I bought one about 3 years ago. It does a great job on leaves. I have a dozen mature Oak tress on 1/3 acre of land so it can get very dense in the fall. My only complaint is the poor connection between the bag and the output chute. It's very flimsly nylon that shredded after about the 3rd use. I've repaired it multiple times but now it's almost completely useless. A new bag costs about $100 but has the same design issue that subjects it to shredding. By contrast, my Snapper Hi-Vac mower bag is over 20 years old and has no signs of wear. Snapper used a better quality bag material and sewed in a heavy duty metal flange to make the connection to the chute on the mower. |

Hello, I just want to ask if there are roses that do quite well in tropical climates. I have an unknown dark red HT growing quite well on my rooftop and I would like a companion for it. Also, are there any nurseries that ship to the Philippines? It's quite hard to find specific rose varieties here. Most roses here are cut flowers. |

In a word, yes. Try looking up tea roses and china roses. Also, if I were you I would look at the Bermuda Rose Society web site at "rosesinbermuda.com" - it is not exactly the same climate, of course, but they are tropical, and are very active, and I am sure if you look at the web site and/or contact them you will get some good advice.

There is a hybridizer from India, M.S. Viraraghavan, who is specializing in warm climate roses. Below is a link to some info about him. Unfortunately can't give you any help on a source to buy them. |
Here is a link that might be useful: M.S. Viraraghavan

I think that Roses Unlimited is the main commercial source of roses bred by Viraraghaven, but I am not sure if they ship outside the United States. Rogue Valley Roses does international shipping, but they only carry a few of his roses. |

Thanks for the replies everyone! I think Tea roses would be lovely with their fragrance! Gonnacheck Roses Unlimited and Roses in Bermuda. Also, one more question. Would Black Baccara or Black Jade grow well in my climate? I really like "black" roses. |
- Posted by harborrose 8a-PNW (My Page) on Tue, Mar 5, 13 at 2:39
Does the Filipino government allow importation of plants and roses from around the world? The US has very restrictive regulations on importation of plants and I wonder how your country is. If you are able to import I'd check Japan and Australia for possible rose sources as well as the US/Bermuda sources you mentioned. I think that Japan and Australia are closer to you than the US or Bermuda. If you contact the Viraraghavan's in India through helpmefind, they may be able to tell you about possible nursery sources. Do you know about www.helpmefind.com, a world wide rose data base? |
- Posted by Resolute_Noir none (My Page) on Tue, Mar 5, 13 at 6:32
Yes. I have an account on helpmefind.com. I just signed up recently though. We have an importing procedure here where the importer has to acquire a permit to import though. |
- Posted by Resolute_Noir 11 (tropical) (My Page) on Sat, Mar 9, 13 at 2:41
Another question, when do I prune my roses? Do I do hard pruning or just light pruning? We have a cold "Winter" season here by December to February when temperatures drop to 21 to as low a 18 degrees Celsius. (70-64 F) Will my Hybrid Tea be unharmed, and would that be a good time to prune? |
- Posted by jacqueline3 9CA (My Page) on Sat, Mar 9, 13 at 10:42
Your hybrid tea will be confused that it is still so warm in WInter! That's warmer than we are here in the WInter (40s - 50s F), but the roses will not go dormant. We prune our hybrid teas here in Jan - Feb. Whether you prune lightly or hard depends on the type of rose it is - only real hybrid teas like to be pruned much at all. All other kinds of roses (such as tea roses, china roses, etc ) should only be pruned to take out any dead wood, and to shape the plants to keep them off the paths, etc. Do not take more than 1/3rd of the size of these roses. Jackie |
If you would consider other colors I would say Double Delight and Belinda's Dream. Double delight is a white/cream color with bright pink on the outer petals and they turn mostly pink as they open all the way and it has a really strong kind of spicy rose smell. The Belinda's Dream rose is a nice hardy shrub rose that requires little to no pesticide (It's classified as an Earth Kind rose since you basically plant it and forget about it lol). It is a lighter pink, makes very full roses, 100+ petals, and has a wonderful sweet smell. Both of those are the only two roses I have (out of the 25 I own) that do not wilt in our summer heat. The double delight in particular just keeps blooming year round like crazy for me. |

I grew roses in S.E. Florida for a long time. Most modern roses (HT,Flor, Teas, Mini/minifloras) and a good number of the repeat flowering OGR's grew and bloomed beautifully for me. They never went dormant, I just stopped feeding them in Nov thru mid March. Then just shaped the bushs the way I needed. A lot of the bush's get pretty big. As far as Black Jade goes, It grew and bloomed like crazy. Beautiful little rose. For best color, give it afternoon shade. If you can get roses in from out of country, look up a rose society in Northeast Australia. Their climate should be fairly close to yours. |
- Posted by Resolute_Noir 11 (My Page) on Sat, Mar 9, 13 at 19:40
Oh, so HTs really like hard pruning! Thanks Jackie. I've heard of Double Delight before. I seen a lot of good reviews about it. Plus the fragrance makes it even better in my book. I'll definitely consider that if I find one. Belinda's Dream sounds like it would be a great rose to breed with! Very disease resistant and sweet-smelling are big pluses on my book! I also like its shade of pink. Yeah, my HT is putting out a lot of new growth for me after I pruned it last week. I think I'm seeing two basal breaks too! My minis are also doing the same, my cluster-flowering yellow blend mini (I think it's Mistral Parade) is covered in blooms now too! I'm gonna heed your advice and stop feeding them until November. I really want Black Jade. Such a nice rose, and apparently the only black mini? I heard it isn't very disease resistant though. Northeast Australia is tropical like ours so I'm gonna consider looking there too. Final question, I'm trying to breed roses here, is my climate okay for hips? Will they wilt if it gets too hot? |

ZBrush allows you to paint with color onto your models using mostly all the same brushes and settings you use for sculpting; the difference is that instead of altering the positions of polygons, you're altering their color. Let's open up the SuperAverageMan and expand the Polypaint subpalette. In order to allow polypainting, we need to turn on Colorize. With Colorize off, changing the color will change the entire model's color.
With Colorize on, we can paint different colors on to different parts. We also need to change the Brush mode from Sculpt to Paint. You do this by turning off Zadd and turning on RGB. The colors that you paint with are controlled here on the left side of the screen. You can move the color pickers around to get any color you want. The swatch on the right is the primary color, and the left one is secondary. Click on the SwitchColor button to swap them. You can also pick a color from anywhere on your model by clicking and dragging on the swatch over to the model.
You can see it's going to pick up white. One thing you want to watch out for is the material that you're using. Right now, it's set to SkinShade4, which is a neutral white material, but let's say, for instance, you were using ReflectOrange. This material comes with a color built into it, so any color that you paint with is going to add to it. You can see here painting with pink isn't quite giving us the same result we're expecting. That's because it's combining the orange with the pink. I am just going to undo that. So if you set it back to a material that has a neutral white color built into it, you will see you will get a more predictable result.
Now this color pink is actually the same that we see in our swatch. Now we can start painting. Simply set your brush size and your color and your brush type and get down to it. Let me zoom in here and show you. I want to set the Draw size a little bit smaller. Now, notice when I paint it's really blocky. This is because polypainting is resolution dependent. It's not painting the surface; it's actually just painting the polygons. So the more polygons you have in your model, the finer the painting you can do.
I am just going to hit Ctrl+D a few times to add subdivisions to the model. Now when I paint the result is much smoother. Take a few moments to experiment with various brushes, colors, and stroke types. Polypainting in ZBrush is a much faster way to color a model than the old method of painting on 2D texture maps.

Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra - Owners hangout
kc8hnq Posts: 1Hi all. I'm new to the board and I was wondering if any one can clue me in on the pitiful mileage and moderate performance that I get with my 2001 GMC 2500 6.0L 4X4, 3:73 Auto Ext.cab.
I am lucky if I get 11.5 MPG (mixed driving). With todays technology that is just WRONG. (No I'm not lead footin it).
My last pickup was a 1985 Chevy 3/4 ton 4X4 with a home built 454, turbo 400 (no overdrive), 4:10 gears and after market injection. This truck turned over 3000 RPM on the hwy at 70 MPH and I got about 12.5 MPG (mixed driving). Not to mention I could move small buildings with it. ;-)
My brother has a 2001 Chevy 1500, 4X4, 5.3L, 3:42, auto and he is his mileage is in the high 14s in the same driving conditions. What bothers me more is when I go from my truck to his, I nearly squawk the tires on take off every time. I am accustom to having to use more throttle to get mine moving. Lets see. Smaller engine less gear and will smoke mine off of the line. What is wrong with this picture?!? I wonder how the two would do in a pull-off? Not that I could afford to do that to trucks this pricy.
Don't get me wrong, I knew I would get worse mileage with my truck but I expected around 13. It ticks me off that the auto makers are not required to list mileage figures on trucks rated 8600 GVW or higher. My god how bad is the mileage with an 8.1L without the Alison option. 8 to 10?
I have already replaced the air filter with a K&N and I added a soft tonneau. Both of which, I would have done regardless of mileage. That got me about 1/2 a MPG.
I WILL be using synthetic oil at the first oil change. I have used synth in all of my vehicles for years. Any idea how much this might get me?
I saw an earlier post referring to my model trans as a power-sink. I assume this is in part due to more rotating mass in the heavier duty model. Any more info on this trans? Will switching to synth trans fluid help at all?
Finally. I am considering getting a Hypertech programer to optimise the engine tuning and shift points. The big 3 MUST compromise tuning to accommodate the masses. Has anyone had any experience with this?
I love the bigger brakes, the firmer ride and all of the other goodies that you can only get on the 2500, but in my opinion unless you REALLY NEED the tow/haul capabilities of the 2500. Stick to the 1500.
Any and all suggestions and comments are welcome.
I have a buddy with a 3500 HD, crew cab, diesel on order. As soon as I get a review from him I will pass it along. -
obyone Posts: 8,065How many miles on the truck? Usually mileage will increase a little up till 5-7000 miles. Synthetic trans and rear end will help mileage. I've had some experience with the HPIII. I know I wouldn't want to live without it. However, I have the 5.3. Overall I would expect the mileage you're getting, well, maybe hope for a little more but that's a lot more truck you're driving and I'll agree, if you don't need the tow/haul capacity, don't buy it. Then of course, the other train of thought. If you can afford it, go ahead and buy it if it's what you want.
mledtje Posts: 1,123Your 2500 has a taller first gear than the 1500, 2.48 vs 3.06. And about 900lbs more weight. And the throttle response of the 6.0L engine is not as crisp as the smaller engines. The 2500 is slower off the line.
I have two Silverados, a 1500 w/4.8L and a 2500 w/6.0L. Driven identically, the 2500 gets 10-20% less fuel economy (Highway travel with a small popup camper, 1500 ave = 15.4mpg, 2500 ave = 14.0mpg; empty 20 vs. 16). If your brother is getting 14 mpg in his 1500, my guess is either a lot of high speeds (75+ mph) or a lot of in town commuting. 10-20% less than 14 mpg is 12.6-11.2 mpg, about what you are getting.
The 2500s usually sit a little higher and that hurts the high speed mileage more than the in town stuff. My dad has a Silverado 1500 5.3L 3.42 and he always gets 20+ mpg empty. But he tends to drive 60 mph.
My mileage and power increased after 10K miles, and yours should also. Keep the tires on the 2500 inflated to 50/80 psi for maximum fuel economy. Empty I run 45/40 psi for maximum comfort.
Mike L -
rthaas Posts: 3My 2000 2500 LT doesn't put enough heated air into the passenger's footwell. An end of year trip from Colorado to Tennessee had whoever wasn't driving setting there with a blanket wrapped around their feet to keep them warm. Outside temps. were 12 degrees and the driver was hot (baking actually) so the heater was putting out but not much was going into the right-side footwell.
Is anyone else having any similar problems?
My dealer and Chevy's Tech Support claim the heater is working to spec. but Customer Assistance noted that Chevy has a "Poor Heater Performance Review" for Silverados already going.
Any help would be appreciated.

markbuck Posts: 1,021I agree with Mike L's analysis. I'd personally go back to a stock filter.
The other thing I'd do, is pull all the plugs after some light highway driving and check mixture. If plugs are reading good, then you pretty much are getting about what you should.
BTW, I'm a leadfoot, drive a 4.8L manual 4x4 4.10, and get 16mpg most of the time empty, towing down to a low of 7mpg, and running 82mph on the interstate with the bed loaded with camping gear and a dirtbike, round trip 400 miles I got a little below 15mpg. I have a 2500HD CC 4x4 5speed on order, and expect to get about what you get for mileage. And if we had the 8.1 we'd probably get 15 to 20% less mileage.... -
dch0300 Posts: 472So let me see if I got this right.
Pitch = Frequency
Volume = not Pitch
Screw = Pitch
Volume = not Screw
.....so then......
Not Pitch = Not Screw
Frequency = Screw
Ok I think I get it now.....maybe.
Heck, I think I like Tim's hammer idea afterall, but was that for Pitch or Volume?
(this was a joke also Titus1)

pocahontas Posts: 802
willimjo Posts: 73I can't agree. Pitch and volume are not related. Pitch is frequency (typically measured in hertz) volume is ... well... volume, (typically measured in decibels). My human ears have no trouble telling the difference between quiet high pitches and loud low pitches.
Not an arguement, just have a hard time letting you mis-state facts. -
pocahontas Posts: 802Either that or let's just start all over. Here's the original post that started this whole subject:
#127 of 148 Horn pitch by ckulus Feb 10, 2001 (04:16 pm) Hello, Is there a way to change the pitch of the horn in a 2001 Silverado 1500? If there is, then I have another question: exactly where is the horn?
Titus- Being an audiology minor in college, I know what willimjo (post 143) is talking about. People in previous posts were using the word "pitch."
"Pitch" has to do with frequency... (hertz level) high/lows of a particular sound. In layman's term we could describe these high/lows as soprano vs baritone.
Now "Volume" has to also has to do with "decibel level"; in layman's terms that would be how loud something is... i.e. from a whisper to a shout.
In other words, pitch and volume have two different meanings. (something a lot of people mix up) So the real question is was Clukus asking about the pitch/hertz level, or was he referring to "volume" or the decibel level?
Until we have the answer to that, there's no point in quibbling over this any more. Btw, if this message doesn't help clarify a few things, let's just move onto another subject. Okay? Talk later. ;-)

sarti Posts: 16I know this has been beat to death but can anyone give me some info on leveling out my 2000 Silverado Z71 ext/cab other than lowering the rear end? I know it's suppose to be like this so when your hauling a load it will level out. But I don't haul that many heavy loads. It just looks bad to me. Theres about 2 1/2" to 3" difference (as you all know) has anyone cranked the torsion bars and how much does it take? How was the ride afterwards? I really like my truck, but this is driving me nuts. THANKS

Absolutely heartbreaking: A Toronto area knitter worked on a beautiful shawl project while she sat at the bedside of her critically ill husband. Susan Cottrell knitted as they waited for his double lung transplant, she knitted as he made his slow and difficult recovery. And at the end, she had an absolutely spectacular shawl. She blocked it, and wrapped it up to take the hospital to weave the ends in, ready to start wearing it.
And then it disappeared. It was in a plastic bag, and the fear is that it was thrown away by mistake.
You've probably read this post from Stephanie, the Yarn Harlot, but if you haven't, do. Warms the heart in so many many ways. I wonder if a similar little miracle could happen for Susan?
This weekend is the Dutchess County Sheep and Wool Festival, also known as Rhinebeck, after the town where the event is held. Our own Jillian is teaching there – look for dispatches from her on the blog and on Twitter. If you're within driving distance of the event, it's a most excellent way to spend a fall day – yes, there's all sorts of yarny goodness and shopping and demonstrations and classes, but there are also all the great fall fair activities: animal exhibits and livestock shows, cooking demonstrations, and of course, fantastic food. It's a beautiful time of year, and a visit to Rhinebeck is a great way to take it all in.
Having recently attended a wedding at which knitting was "encouraged", (I am quoting the invitation here, people), I am all over these Erte bags for carrying your knitting. It is not easy to find a knitting bag that goes with a cocktail dress. Many thanks to the always appropriately attired Franklin for bringing these to my attention.
It's Wool Week in the UK, and there are all sorts of events and activities going on to mark the occasion. I really liked some of the wooly fashions in this slideshow.
In which home decor specialists discover what we've known all along: knit fabrics are cozy. I do like the suggestions for making pillows from old sweaters.
Do we have any Norwegian readers who will be watching the epic 9 hours of knitting related television being broadcast November 1st? We're jealous, and would love to know how it is! Let us know in the comments! Does anyone know if it will be streamed online? Maybe we could all watch it!

On radio station WMAL, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is grilled about vote fraud. Will he help us?
He should be investigating how Obama was able to get on the ballot, seeing that he is Constitutionally Inelligible to run for President, as not being a "natural born citizen" as defined by SCOTUS in Minor v Happersett, 1875 by a 9-0 vote. SCOTUS defined "natural born citizen" as one who is born to 2, not 1, but 2 U.S. citizen parents on U.S. soil. Out of his own mouth, Obama stated that his father was not a U.S. citizen, thereby, declaring his own inelligibility to seek the office. It was not the purpose of the Court to define "natural born citizen" in this matter, but it was the cause of the decision, which affirmed the Plaintiff's, Miss Virginia Minor's right to participate and cast a vote in any and all Federal Elections. Miss Minor attempted to vote in the Presidential Election of 1874, and was denyed, as not being elligible, but the Court determined that since Miss Minor was the Child of two, not one, but two, U.S. citizen Parents, and being born on U.S. Soil was absolutely a "natural born citizen" and was thereby fully elligible to participate in all Federal Elections. This was the first decision to affirm a Woman's right to vote for President of the United States, nearly 40 years before the sufferage movement took place.

I was on another site looking at pictures of different critters that you might find in your worm bin. Just for giggles I looked at the section on perionyx excavatus. OK, it wasn't just for giggles. It has been a long time since I have seen the distinctive banding that characterizes EFs. EFs can change their coloring, depending on what you feed them, but my worms just haven't looked right.
So, here is a partial description: # The Perionyx excavatus lacks the alternate light & dark banding of the E. fetida. Yup. # The Perionyx excavatus clitellum covers segments 13-17 whereas the clitellum of the Eisenia Fetida covers segments 25-30 Well, my camera doesn't take real good close ups (or it does, but I don't) but I took a few pics and tried to count the segments. My worms' clitella start at segment 13. # The Perionyx excavatus is considerably faster than the E. fetida. I noticed that my worms seem a little faster than when I bought them. # The Perionyx excavatus is much thinner than the E. fetida, thus making the P. excavatus much more difficult to use as a bait worm. My worms seem to be a bit bigger than what I remember when I bought them. Isn't a typical EF 3 1/2 inches long? I have measured mine at 5 inches long. They don't appear to be any thinner. Well, the clitellum nails it. I'm certain I started out with EFs, but it looks like I have PEs now. What to do? I can start over. I can decide that I'm raising PEs now, I can get some EFs and try to keep them isolated. I hate the thought of starting over, but I really wanted to raise EFs. And this, BTW, could account for my unexplained die off. During the winter, as a cost saving measure, I was not heating the room where the worms are kept. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have a mix of EFs and PEs. I hate the thought of committing vermicide, but we have a cold front moving in this week. If I leave the bins outside, the PEs won't survive. I probably have a lot of PE eggs, so I'll have to live with the fact that I have mixed species. |

I now have to hold my worms close enough to my face to count segments? If the PE's took over then maybe they are more suited for your system or climate? Maybe the same thing is happening in my bins. I now need a ruler. Mine are wild caught. Mutts. "And this, BTW, could account for my unexplained die off. During the winter, as a cost saving measure, I was not heating the room where the worms are kept." I don't know I can agree with that. The non happy worms are in a bin not a flowthrough? I think you have both. I almost think that whatever is causing the few worms to be unhappy happens in most everybody's bin but goes unnoticed. I think because you are observant of bin conditions you are seeing what happens regularly that others are not. Thus you have a "problem" other people do not simple because they do not know about it. Possible? If I had not dug through my bin top to bottom (twice a day? No.) I probably would never of known about my unhappy worms and maybe the one inch worm would of kicked the bucket and melted into oblivian and not of survived to be the one inch worm. |
I have both, but the flowthrough is only about 1 1/2 months old. As for being more observant, I was not the one who first noticed the dying worms. I was giving away a pound of worms and the person who came to take them first noticed the dying worms. That was back in February. |

Not as good as the first eaten post but. Red Hen an excellent poster and worm farmer had the same thing happen to her. She had the sting of pearls effect happen. I highly doubt either of you were bad worm farmers and did something wrong. You were both scientific and knowledgeable about all aspects affecting the worms. In China baby milk was adulterated with melamine to make the protein content higher by cheeting the tests. |
I'm going to have to take a look and see what I have then based on the clittelum placement. I suspect most people have mixed bins and do not know it if the similarity is that close. |
I ran into an old Kelly Slocum post where she said that most people have mixed bins. OTOH, there are suppliers who claim that they have no PE in their bins. The difference is hard to see sometimes. The bands on an EF aren't always obvious. If you take a close look, an EF has narrower segments, and the clitellum starts at segment 25. The PE has wider segments, and the clitellum starts at segment 13. Once you get used to seeing the difference, you don't need to count. The "nose" of a PE is pointier. The "nose" of an EF is rounder. The EF is fatter, and the clitellum is more distinct. It is nearly impossible to tell the difference if there is no clitellum unless the banding is visible. I seem to have a very healthy population of both. I may just have to accept that fact. But from what I am able to find on the net, PEs will eventually crowd out EFs. I don't want that happening. I started this to raise EFs. I spent some time this AM sorting through my bins and removing about 200 adult EFs. I may use them to start a new bin, but there is no way of knowing that there are no PEs in with them, what with babies, cocoons, and the possible faulty ID of an occasional worm. |
I have at least 4 different species of "red worms" living in my worm box. Plus Black Soldier Fly Larvae and a ton of Mites. These composting critters do a great job. I only bought red wigglers (eisenia fetida). Apparently, each worm has a specific "job" in nature. When we put them into totes and boxes or barrels, we (vermifolks) attempt to control those natural processes or "jobs". Each tote or barrel will balance- that is- reach a harmony of occupants. This may require a decrease in one species of resident and an increase in another. Worms are designed by nature to survive so they are prolific breeders. Eisenia fetida are perhaps the most prolific of them all and the first choice of many vermifolks. This is an old post, but it seemed appropriate. |
According to Kelly Slocum in an old article at Worm Digest, the reason PEs take over bins is that they breed faster than EFs. Other than that, EFs are preferred. both are good composters. PEs are a little more finicky about cold temps. Maybe I should just leave well enough alone. Everything is going fine, and in spite of the PEs, I still have a good EF population. |
Here is a link that might be useful: How Did Perionyx excavatus Appear in My Beds?
For a while I thought I have a mix of EF and Africans, and the EFs were being ousted little by little. But now I think they are PE. I bought my stock from different dealers as EF and noticed these skinnier, longer, darker worms (dark brown almost black) with clitellum closer to the front and they reproduce quite rapidly, IMO anyhow because I wasn't happy with the "contamination". I am planning to do the same as sbryce has in mind. When starting the next bin, I am going to pick EFs manually and try to raise them "pure" (whatever that is, because they could be a mix of EF and andreii anyway). Oh man! On a footnote, I haven't come across them lately. The RM bins were inside over the winter and I put them out about 10 days ago not expecting the near to 0 C nights. I guess many of the PE didn't survive. |
- Posted by equinoxequinox (My Page) on Tue, Apr 27, 10 at 1:41
Oh My! I think you are right. The worms seem stiffer and less likely to just loop over the wonder stick but crawl off faster than I can twist the stick to keep them on. They are pointier and longer and way faster. Not so mellow and happy and friendly. Way less loveable and cute. More like raising wet little snakes. I have some questions. Did your cost saving measure of less heat do in the EF's or the PE's? If cold kills PE's? Please reread you posts in this thread to determine what I am mixing up in my mind. I think I read something wrong. I too would like only stripy red wigglers. That would maybe start me back off with only half an egg shells worth again maybe. Maybe that would be ok. I feel real bad for those who have posted recently they accidentally contaminated pure bins of what ever the species. On the other hand mixed species bins might be ok too. I'm ok with that but I also want one of just alternate striped red wigglers as a status symbol. Well actually nobody knows I have worms. Maybe more to just compare and see if results are the same. Besides why would'nt I want them. Red Wigglers Really are the Cadillac of Worms. |
Sbryce...where did you find the great description of the clittelum placement for identifying the species? I want to make sure I can ID 3 species I'm pretty sure I have: PE, EF and EH's. |
Well, you know that spam post that someone at Happy D posted, and I gritched about? I followed the links. They describe PE as a nuisance worm. I didn't find info on EHs. Something interesting I just found there: "P. excavatus are very good castings producers and do very well if all you want to do is produce castings, as long as their temperature is controlled and moisture levels are low." My bins are very wet. In fact, I am intentionally running my flow through wet. The cold front moves in tonight. I need to decide what I want to do. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Perionyx excavatus
I would think the only reasons to care would be 1) if you were to sell bait worms 2) troubleshooting your wormery, 3) experimentation, or 4) status symbol ;). I have a mixed herd and don't care. I raise worms for the poo! Pete |
As I am trying to decide if I care, a low pressure system is moving in, and my PEs are crawling. The EFs are staying put. I cleaned out the catch basins of my two RM bins, and they were full of drowned PEs. I only found 1 EF in the catch basins. PEs appear to be great composters, and they reproduce like mad, but they are kind of a pain to take care of. They may be happier in the summer heat than EFs. |

I too read that spam page and eyed the pictrure of the PE suspeciously then I tried to ignore it. Except that picture of the long skinny worm haunted me. Another link you had showed PE's that had gotten cold. They looked string of pearl effect. Similar or the same as tail turning white. That other lady, with the mixed bin, who gave you great advice because she knows her stuff, also had some worms go string of pearl effect, maybe a year ago. As far as I have ever red there was no conclusive proof as to what caused it. Maybe search there and read hen old posts. Maybe PE's get chilled and get sick and die. Maybe ask her if she ever found the reason why. |
Could there be another reason for the string of pearl effect other than protein poisoning? I didn't know it. |
- Posted by equinoxequinox (My Page) on Wed, Apr 28, 10 at 15:02
I'm not even sure the much talked about protein poisoning is a real thing. |
I have been thinking about this protein poisoning, and I do believe it can happen. One of the things I remember reading, if the worms ingest food that has not decompose, the food will form gases in the worms' intestine. This will cause bloating, bursting or the string of pearl effect, being such delicate creatures. This will most likely happen with starchy food. I guess that would be things like rice, pata, potato or even banana that is not rotten. Mind you, I am no scientist. I am just guessing. If we eat rice , potato or pasta that is not completely cooked, we will have a stomach ache too. Imagine that happening to such a tiny worm compared to our size. That is also why I don't blend the worm food so they won't be able to swallow particles that are not "worm ready". I do chop, cut or slice them (the food) down to save space in storing and to make it decompose faster. A good thing not to chop or cut the food (i.e. apples and the like) if you are planning to go away. It will push the availability date to the worm further. We know they will not go hungry since they will keep reprocessing the VC and eventually eat the bedding, but ,,,,, My apology to the original poster. This should have gone under a separate thread.

Follow-Up Postings:
Sounds like the main jet isn't open as far as it should be or there is varnish in the carb. Mine has an adjustable main jet. It looks like a screw. Gently turn it in until it seats and then back out 1 1/2 turns. Adjust slightly under a load, from there. If your main jet is not visible or adjustable, the carb should be removed and cleaned. |

HI everyone I have a bare pine pressure treated wood pergola that is going to have solid color stain applied to it. The stain is a tan color. I was thinking that it would be cool to have some of the edges highlighted with a darker brown color. this would give it a somewhat of a bamboo look. Can this accent color be applied with a rag or something to produce this look? thx |
Follow-Up Postings:
Use the term "wiping" instead of "ragging". Nobody likes someone ragging on them or their pergola. But seriously, wiping is a good method of application to produce a nice uniform coat. It pushes the product into the grain an takes away any excess. If you want to do highlights of another color, use a brush. The brush offers more precision. Have the rag handy to wipe off the brush marks if you go too heavy. |

Heat Related Illnesses in Youth
What is the risk to children of heat-related illness? What can parents and caregivers do?
A Message from the Department of Health and Human Services Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Maine CDC)
Children can be at high risk from heat because:
Children produce more heat (because of a greater surface area-to-body mass ratio) than adults.
Children sweat less than adults.
Children are less likely to drink adequate fluids during exercise and heat.
Infants, and especially newborns, are at higher risk.
Children who rarely exercise, are overweight or obese, have had a previous heat-related illness, drink caffeinated beverages, are developmentally delayed or have cognitive disabilities, have underlying medical conditions (diabetes), are at higher risk.
What Parents of Infants and Young Children Can Do:
Make sure infants and young children have access to air conditioning, lightweight clothing, adequate fluids, and cooling water. Infants and children up to 4 years of age are especially sensitive to the effects of high temperatures and rely on others to regulate their environments and provide adequate liquids.
Monitor for and recognize the signs and symptoms of heat-related illnesses and dehydration in children. Dehydration in young children early on can present as: decreased urine output, dry or sticky mouth, irritability, and fatigue.
What Coaches/Parents/Teachers Can Do:
Reduce the intensity of physical activity lasting more than 15 minutes, especially if heat and humidity are both high.
Realize that conditioned athletes may be more susceptible to heat stroke because they have a larger body mass.
Require young athletes to take fluid breaks before practice and every 15 – 60 minutes during practice – even if they are not thirsty.
Require all athletes to take regular shade and rest breaks.
Recognize signs of heat illness and dehydration in children. Dehydration early on can present as: dry or sticky mouth, thirst, headache, dizziness, cramps, excessive fatigue.

Hello everyone! I'm making an LED light for a 2x4 area of mounted orchids, consisting of 3w LED's: 4 cool white, 4 neutral white, 10 warm white, 4 deep red (660nm), 1 royal blue and 1 actinic 420nm. They are on a 10x14" heat sink. I'm having a huge problem. I used the Arctic Silver thermal paste and it's been almost two weeks, and the LED's are still not adhering to my heat sink. Was I wrong to assume this stuff would act as adhesive? I've attached a picture of the whole setup, and I'm eager to get soldering.. my questions are, Can I just lift the LED's up a little and dab some super glue in there or something? Do I need to wait longer for this stuff to dry? Perhaps if I used a fan to blow on it or something? Please help! :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Generally, thermal paste is not an adhesive. with some heat, it oftens gets hard like that, but that is not how it is designed. Regarding lifting and glueing; the super glue will likely create seperation between the sink and light. Why not just leave them in place and glue around the edges? of course, I'm not sure superglue will adhere them either. |
How about an epoxy? What's the general idea as far as affixing them to heat sinks? Screws? I'd prefer not to do the drill & tap... |
thermal paste will transfer heat from the LED away to the heatsink but is not a adhesive. the cheaper brands will dry and harden with glue like properties after exposed to CPU heat however a good brand like Artic Silver will stay paste like and not harden. I attached a crude MS paint diagram of a paperclip straightened with loops on each end for self tapping sheet metal screws 2 over each LED would work to hold lights in place. |
This post was edited by on-call on Sun, Dec 2, 12 at 9:58
better yet you can buy these from any hardware store, strip off the insulation, cut to size and loop the other end with needle nose pliers |
How about another layer of heat sink material (with holes) on the emitting side of the LEDs? The LED edges will be sandwiched between the two heat sink layers, which can be screwed or epoxied together. |
Thank you very much on-call and HayBerry for your help. I'm a bit lost on some of the ideas lol... but I will re-read then later today and hopefully get something out of it and have a fab LED light :) |
I would probably either: use a self tapping screw find a conductive adhesive or just use an plain epoxy. the bulbs do get hot, but not so hot that you really need conductive paste between them and the heat sink. |
a thought just occurred to me; are you planning to run all your connecting wires on the same side as the lights or are you going to drill holes to run them on the backside? If you're planning to drill holes, the stiffness of the wires is probably adequate to hold the bulbs in place if using thermal paste. |
Thank you grizzman! I've had to put this LED project on the back burner for the last few days so will take a crack at it this weekend. I think I'm going to try to keep it simple and go for the epoxy...I'd hate to have to drill holes because where the LED's are situated on the heat sink, the fins on the back of it don't line up properly with any holes I could drill on them. |
