http://forums.gardenweb.com/discussions/1805527/question-of-loropetalums | Question of Loropetalums Comments ( 12 ) carolinabluesky Well , good news - I ca n ' t say that a hungry deer would n ' t eat them but they do n ' t prefer them . I ' ve had several for about five years now and so far , so good . Mine are in partial shade in an area where deer have eaten other plants ( Indian hawthorne , sweet potato vines , etc . ) and no damage . Like Save April 29 , 2009 spazzycat_1 My deer have never touched the Loropetalums and I have several planted in different places around the garden , but I know of other gardeners who have experienced problems with deer browsing them . Like Save April 29 , 2009 deirdre_2007 I just planted about 6 of them this Spring . We have a ton of deer here and so far nothing . It ' s only been 10 days , but so far so good . I ' ll let you know if anything changes . DYH My deer herd picks them clean in winter and leaves them alone in summer - - meaning that I do n ' t get spring blooms unless I fence them off with a 32 " high edging fence in winter through spring . I do get blooms in the fall because they do n ' t eat them in summer . I moved one of my two inside the cottage garden fence last September because I was tired of not having a pretty loropetalum in spring . The other one is fine and blooming right now because I did protect it with the temporary fence over the winter and it is still behind that edging . So , this is the first time since they were planted in 2005 that I have blooms on my loropetalum ( and leaves for that matter ) . I wrote up a story about plants that are on " deer resistant lists " that have n ' t been deer resistant with my local herd . Cameron Here is a link that might be useful : Deer resistant or not jimtnc Thanks . Did y ' all plant any specific variety , or just loro ' s in general ? I wound up with 3 different varieties with 3 different sun / shade requirements , and I ' m running our of room for the shade types . Will they not do well if they are in full sun ? One of the instruction cards say NO pm sun , which sounded pretty clear to me , but sometimes those cards are printed for all varieties of shrubs . April 30 , 2009 spazzycat_1 In my experience , the Loropetalums take anything from full sun to part shade . In the shade , the purple - foliage ones are not as purple . April 30 , 2009 jimtnc Okay , thanks spazzy . Bumblebeez SC Zone 7 I have some in bright shade and they hardly grow at all . However with the ones in sun , I would n ' t mind some deer browsing every 6 weeks ! zigzag I have loropetulums in three locations around my yard . Front yard ( where the deer and buffalo roam ) is in brutal sun , never any deer damage - this border gets huge and takes a hard whacking back every fall with grace . Back sideyard , enclosed , loropetulum border is in dappled sun , at best - deer have yet to jump the fence , and this border group takes some yearly trimming , but is n ' t as exuberant or high maintenance as the front yard group . Finally I have one specimen plant atop a timber retaining wall backed by a stockade fence . This loropetulum is cresting 10 ' tall now ( I ' ve let it go wild ) and while in a direct South sun , I think the fence shields it ' s back ( ? ) . So , I from my view , loropetulums pretty much take whatever you can dish out . BTW . . . . . this is the first year in six or seven that NONE of my loropetulums have bloomed , lots of pretty new red leaves , but nothing flowery other than a little fringe - flower or three here and there . But , there ' s a hedge of them nearby and they ' ve been flowerless too . Must be their ' rest ' year . DYH The one that I moved is now in full sun and is blooming and is retaining the dark foliage . The older one is in sun until early afternoon and it ' s fine and blooming . carolinagardendawg Zigzag . . .interesting . . .I ' ve got a Zhuzhou Fuschia ' cultivar that did n ' t really bloom this year . There were a few blooms here and there , but it was n ' t a profuse bloomer like in years past . Glad to know some others held back a little this year as well . And as far as sun vs . shade . . .loropetalums will take about anything you give ' em EXCEPT high pH or dry soils . I ' ve also found them generally to underachieve in full shade , but they still make nice plants . Mike Dirr ' s comment - " . . .once established displays a tenacity just short of Ilex cornuta . " I believe that statement ! Great input folks . Thanks so much . That ' s what I was hoping to hear . I ' ve got a few onther spots I ' d like to put them . May 1 , 2009 Sign Up to Comment | [

http://forums.gardenweb.com/discussions/1810325/whats-peeling-the-meyer-lemons | Citrus what ' s peeling the meyer lemons ? louise_sfbay February 26 , 2006 Hello All My BF has a meyer lemon tree with a strange problem . Something seems to be eating the peels only off his meyer lemons . In the last few days a half dozen or more lemons have been denuded of the skins . They are still hanging on the tree and the sections are completely visible and whole , but they have no peel . The flesh appears almost entirely untouched . I assume some animal pest is doing this especially since the damaged ones are close to the deck railing , an easy reach or climb for some critter He is in the San Francisco Bay Area , El Cerrito for those who know the area . Thanks . Email Save Comment 57 Like 2 Comments ( 57 ) See 7 more comments laurie_in_sf I have no clue . Maybe it ' s just a roof rat with a fancy name . I ' m just passing along what a friend told me . I was hoping to find out more here . Like Save March 19 , 2006 pstemwedel I ' ve noticed this as well lately . It does seem localized to the larger ( older ? ) fruit higher on the tree . Perhaps the recent cold snap has had something to do with it ? March 20 , 2006 laurie_in_sf With mine it ' s also the higher fruit , which seems different than with other people only noticing it lower down . Maybe ours is a bat or bird and the others have something else ? April 23 , 2006 nkt38238 Well , this question could not have arrived at better time ( for me at least ) , I just spotted this same phenomena with my Meyer lemon last week . I live in bay area , N . CA . I saw exact symptom on one of my ripe meyer lemon fruits , but it was not hanging on tree . It dropped on the ground , but had only 40 % peel bitten off . I ' ve never seen that with my other citrus fruits like mature Navel Orange . I consider following possibilities since I ' ve spotted these animals in my yard : ( in the order of probability ) + Rat ( this is what I suspect culprit is ) + Squirrel + Snails + Racoon + Cat I am not sure that it ' s snails in my case since as far as I know there are no snails in the area where Meyer Lemon is located . btw , I find META based product ( Corry ' s ) highly effective on snails and it ' s usable around veggies and fruit plants . I think it ' s biodegrable . You may purchase it at Costco or at hardware stores . April 23 , 2006 gardner_dragon Tree rats and possums both eat the peels of citrus fruits . If the peel is sweet they will leave the fruit . Sometimes they will eat all the flesh and leave the peel . biscuit22 I am in San Francisco and am having the same problem with my Meyer lemon tree - something is eating the rind off and leaving the inner fruit . They are working on the middle part of the tree . My boyfriend suspects an escaped monkey . We will look for snails and maybe set rat traps . Thanks February 8 , 2007 bencelest Snails were the culprit who denuded the fruits of my citrus . But it took me over a week to find them and put them to rest . You really have to look for them because they are experts in hide and seek . They had me puzzled for over 6 months . Snails were the last thing on my mind . February 9 , 2007 bencelest In an hour ' s time snails can travel a long distance . So at night after 2 hours after the sun went down , I ' harvested ' snails in my bacyard every 20 minutes . After 4 nights I gathered well over 250 snails of different sizes . After that I did not see any more problem . February 14 , 2007 nkt38238 Hi , I ' m returning to gardenweb forums after disappearing for almost an year . Good to see that bencelest is still around to help . I wonder if rickjames and mrtexas are still around . I have not looked around in forums messages in detail yet . In any case , in my case , it turned out to be rat . Since last year , we have had couple of cats hanging around in neighborhood and lemon peel problem has disappeared along with rats . February 24 , 2007 rickjames ' Sup Nkt . Welcome back : ) So integrated pest management does work . Whaddya know . February 26 , 2007 thanks , rickjames . I am finding that my gardening urges surge in late winter / spring and puts me in mood to get / plant new cirtus varieties . However , as year progresses , work ( stress in silicon valley ) , social life ( young kids ) seem to come out much higher in the grand schema of things / priorities . Will see how long can I keep in touch with these forums as year progresses . > So integrated pest management does work . Whaddya know . yeah ! and it being free is ever better ! February 27 , 2007 Nkt : Yes , I am here just on and off depending how busy I am with my work . It ' s fun to be here . February 27 , 2007 renfield my young tree has been denuded of leaves , fruit and young shoots . I suspect racoon or rat , possibly cat . I have n ' t found any partially eaten fruit . What ' s your guess . I ' m right in SF . ren March 10 , 2007 jdnospam Folks , I ' m in Berkeley and have been dealing with this for the last 3 years , starting usually in May and lasting until December - sh . I ' ve a very mature myer lemon tree that is regularly traumatized by a pest that peels the fruits . You can see parts of the rind on the ground and completely deunuded or partially peeled fruits on the tree . I think it is a rat - but are n ' t they supposed to eat , " hollow out " the frut , too ? It is not snails , there are copper bands around the tree . Does anyone have suggestions for getting rid of the rat , or what kind of rat ? I ' ve noticed in the last few days droppings - fairly " small " , black and about 1 / 4 an inch long under where my peeled fruit is . Are there mice that peel fruit ? ? - JD June 4 , 2007 dadunkley_att_net Happening to me as well . Totally peeled and left , others peeled with a bit eaten . Now , tiny little pieces of peels covering area next to tree . Left a peeled one as bait on sidewalk by tree and returning 4 hours later in evening , it had disappeared ! Rats are supposed to hollow out the fruit . Possums ? Help . . . . . January 1 , 2011 Teamtasia_aol_com We have a prolific Meyer Lemon tree and for the past 3 years a creature is enjoying the rind of the lemon leaving the lemon beautifully peeled hanging on the tree . I suspect it to be a fruit bat . Any other thoughts ? Rindless in LA ! March 12 , 2011 japonismeblog_gmail_com oh this is so funny to find some years later ! i just posted a photo : the thing that i ca n ' t imagine any of the suggested animals having the ability to leave the bits of peel all neatly like that . Here is a link that might be useful : the mystery peeler March 15 , 2011 kirk_rodgers_ymail_com I live on the San Mateo coast . Whatever it is , is eating not only the rind but now is stripping the bark off . Only effected area is about head high on a otherwise healthy and mature tree . I tied a rat trap in the tree at the site . . . .will see if I caught anything tomorrow April 1 , 2011 kathinsacto It ' s the raccoons peeling the lemons and leaving all the meat on the ground ! ! ! Saw it last night with my own eyes lol 1 Like June 9 , 2011 haenftling_comcast_net I read an article in the SF Chronicle by The bugman that rats eat the rind of the lemon and the inside of the ornge . I do n ' t recall if he had a solution to this problem . I ' ve had a Meyer lemon for many years and this is the first year they started eating my lemons . They also ate the inside of the few oranges I have on a rather small imature orange tree . June 13 , 2011 ocda I noticed some fruits since last week in my lemon tree fully peeled and some partially but they are still hanging on the tree . Curiously nothing like tht in my other lemon tree with fruits having a much thicker rind . My son ' s room window is not too far from the tree and he never noticed flapping wings at night nearby the tree . There were two fruits that are too high on very slender branch tht a rat fruit has to be really small so as to stay up there . Whatever , much investigation to June 21 , 2011 pistonkeeper_yahoo_com This is funny , I have been looking all over the web and this is the most complete listing I have found so far . The Lemons on my tree are always left on the tree . It takes two days for the rind to be completely removed . Looking closely it is eating only the white part and the outer yellow part is drying out rolling back as the inner flesh is consumed . I have never caught anything in the tree but snails and I have never caught any near the fruit . I guess it is possible PS : On my neighbors tree it is getting the Green fruit also . June 25 , 2011 Chris Gulden I am having a similar problem with our orange tree . We live in the East Bay area ( antioch ) , and " something " has been eating part of the peel , and the entire inside of the unripe fruit , leaving a hollowed shell of peel hanging from the tree . We have seen opposums , squirrels , tree rats and racoons in the area , but assumed our dogs were keeping them at bay . I will say that snails will definitely NOT be the culprit ( besides , would n ' t the acid kill January 14 , 2012 LauraQ95076 I have noticed since the beginning of August that something has been peeling the skin off my Meyer lemons . I ' ve found the lemon peels on the ground with distinct teeth marks and on the top of the fence I ' m finding vermin droppings where the critters are using the fence to hop onto the lemon tree , but has anyone had any success getting rid of the pests ? Is this an ongoing problem ? Our neighbors have seen a spike in mice ( maybe because our surrounding neighbors have so much ivy ? ) and August 12 , 2012 hoosierquilt USDA 10A Sunset 23 Vista CA Laura , post photos of the damage . You do n ' t say where you live , so it ' s hard for us to help you identify the culprits . You can add that info in your GardenWeb Zone field ( see mine ) . If you ' re in California , most like it is Roof ( Citrus ) rats after moisture and food . Could also be snail damage if the peel damage is more round . Could be birds also , if the damage is roundish and ragged , as some birds apparently like to Patty S . Here is a link that might be useful : UC Davis IPM : Rats August 13 , 2012 kiwichristel I live in New Zealand and the same is happening to our lemons , but only on one bush . We have two lemon bushes , one is in the garden at the back and one is in front of our house . The one in front of the house might not be a Meyer lemon bush and the lemons on that bush are fine , nothing is eating the skin . October 17 , 2013 hoosierquilt USDA 10A Sunset 23 Vista CA Rats are notorious for eating the peels of sour fruits ( lemons , limes , citrons ) , and they ' ll do just the opposite for sweet citrus - leave you a hollowed out fruit with just the skin hanging . The peel of lemons , limes , citrons are sweeter than the pulp , so the clever rat has learned to eat just the peels of those varieties , whilst devouring the sweet pulp of sweet citrus cultivars . Clever buggers . They ' ll be the last living animal on the planet . Along with cockroaches , Patty S . October 17 , 2013 kiwichristel If it was rats , why do n ' t they eat the fresh lemon skins on our compost heap ? Anyway , we have lots of cats in the area and I have NEVER seen a rat though I now they are nocturnal . Kiwichristel Well , because they probably have n ' t discovered them , yet . Why one tree will be affected , and the tree next to it , not , again , no explanation for that . It may also be a bird , as some birds like to use the oils of citrus to repel parasites , and they ' ll peck the skin to get to the oils ( although what I see in your photo looks more to me like bite marks from a rodent , due to the sharp cuts through the skin ) . So Hi Patty First of all , thanks for your thoughts on the lemon peel eating whatsits . There are no squirrels in NZ but we have possums . What intriges me as well is . There is a cluster of lemons touching the ground . I have n ' t picked them yet as a ) I observe them and b ) they are not quite ready for picking yet . These Lemons have not been touched . I thought being so near to the ground , snails , mice , possums , anything that likes lemon peel would go for those Christel Hi Patty First of all , thanks for your thoughts on the lemon peel eating whatsits .

I thought being so near to the ground , snails , mice , possums , anything that likes lemon peel would go for those Christel { { ! gwi } } This is the photo not zoomed johnmerr Think birds . . . many things like the Meyer lemon peel because it is not bitter . When we sent Meyers to the Fruit Logistica show in Berlin , people were walking around sucking on the peels . Could be birds . Not snails , as the make more round , rasped holes . Could be earwigs as well . Have you checked with your local ag agent in your area to see what they might suspect ? Or , your local university ? My husband just said : " Who ' s worried ? you ' re not gonna spray it or do anything so just put up with it ! " MEN ! But he is right . I wo n ' t treat it with any chemicals and the lemons are edible . I was curious what ' s taking the coat off my lemon ? : ) I will ask at my local nursery though . Thanks very much for your thought Patty and John . October 18 , 2013 Christel , you can always try to cover your fruit as well , to see if it is an animal ( who most likely will try to eat or peck through the cover ) , or insect ( which will not ) . Try putting a little plastic baggy around a fruit , secure with a twist tie and see what happens . October 18 , 2013 serge94501 Most likely roof rats . Had a house in Berkeley and started seeing this on my Meyer lemon trees . Found a rat and dispatched it . Peel - eating stopped . August 6 , 2014 Steven York Who knew so many others have had the same issue with their lemons . I ' ve had the tree for about 9 years and this is the first time I ' ve ever seen this . My friends thought it was a prank but most people I know are to busy to peel and leave the lemons on the tree . I thought maybe birds , now I ' m thinking maybe rat or similar . Interesting - - I blame climate change . March 11 , 2015 last modified : March 11 , 2015 fedefish Observed this for the first time on one of my meyer lemon trees . I ' m in Oakland , CA . I noticed the perfectly peeled fruits on the ground first and inspected further and saw partially peeled fruits still on the tree . Suspect the compromised fruits dropped after being totally peeled . Seems to have happened in the span of a few days . Have had these trees for years and this is the first time ever . August 20 , 2015 johnmerr It is almost certainly tree rats , or roof rats ; and they dearly love the peel of the Meyer lemon , because it is not bitter like other lemons . I occasionally encounter this in some of my garden Meyers ; and I just put out rat bait , and the problem disappears . August 21 , 2015 chrisround33 I am in Glendora , CA . It ' s been for 4 - 5 months I have noticed hollowed out orange peal ( looks like an empty ball ) under my orange tree . Today I saw a hollowed out orange hanging , and the other one was eaten to one / fourth , also still hanging on the tree . The oranges now are big but still green . The juice is tasty , not too sweet . Thank you , everybody , community , for all advice . I will put some rat baits on my orange tree . My lemon tree does not have this problem . October 21 , 2015 David Menegus Same problem with the rind being completely removed from the lemons . Set 4 rat traps around the area , no success . Have not seen any rat droppings either . Is there another animal that might be responsible . Live in Pleasant Hill , ty for a response . May 31 , 2016 My vote is tree rats / roof rats . . . same animal . Go out at night with a big light ; and you just might catch them at work . 1 Like May 31 , 2016 evestew1 For the first time in 10 years we are experiencing perfectly peeled fruits left hanging on our mature lemon trees . If rats , how to get of them ? We love in Oakland CA . June 11 , 2017 pip313 Poison , traps , cats , BB gun June 11 , 2017 last modified : tlbean2004 Does anyone have pictures of the neatly pealed fruit left on the tree ? June 12 , 2017 George Over the last couple years I ' ve had both the completely denuded and partially hollowed out Meyer lemons . It usually happens to the outermost fruit . I find that odd , as that would leave the culprits highly exposed to predators . The ones nearest the trunk are relatively untouched . Again , it seems odd that the easiest fruit to reach is bypassed . Here is a photo I took yesterday of the partially hollowed fruit . November 10 , 2017 November 10 , 2017 Matt Roof rats is best guess . wendy_bill80 Two photos of damage . Do n ' t know what to conclude , but the neighbour ' s dogs are curious , so it wo n ' t be snails . Twigs too small for possums . No other animal predators here except for small rodents . This is a large NZ Meyer which has been damaged over some weeks , also for the very first time . You can see many new blossoms as it is late spring . Lots completely denuded and then they drop . Too many branches and foliage to hide in , so pruning November 23 , 2017 It ' s tree rats or roof rats ( same ) . They eat the outer fruits because they are the most ripe ( sweetest ) When I see that I put out rat poison and it stops . They like Meyer lemons , mandarins , and oranges because the peel is not bitter and contains lots of oils . November 23 , 2017 Sign Up to Comment | [

How is the smell of the flower ? Does it bloom for many months ? Email Save Comment 38 Like 1 Comments ( 38 ) joanmary_z10 Yes , I have grown quite a few of the trees . I ' m in zone 10 as well . I use a large plastic liner ( 10 gallons ) filled with potting soil , tamped down . Moisten the soil . Let it drain . Very carefully , I place the seeds on top of the soil equidistant , circling the outside , making about 3 circles of seeds in the pot . With my finger , I gently poke each seed into the soil to about one eighth of an inch deep . Then cover the top with a sprinkling of soil . Press down gently to hold the seeds in place . Place a label in the pot with the name of the seeds , where they came from and THE DATE PLANTED . ( Make sure you use a pencil on the plant label , as any ink will ALWAYS fade due to uva rays ! Sometimes one is a little forgetful when one has lots of things going on in the garden , and this serves as a good reminder ) I leave the pot under shrubs against a west fence - filtered , bright light - and water it when I do the normal garden watering . It takes a while before you ' ll see any sprouting , but do n ' t give up . I leave the plants in the pot till they are about 6 " high before transplanting them . Move to individual pots and make sure you keep them well watered . They gradually move them to full sunlight . I transfer them to the garden when they are about a foot + high . Do not let them dry out . Good luck . The fragrance is heavenly ! I have 5 growing in the garden - first one bought and the others from seed . Have given a lot away to the neighbourhood so one day we will be a ' Fragrant Area ' ! ! 1 Like Save September 21 , 2004 angelsmell How long does it take before you get flowers ? How did you plants do through the hurricane ? Like September 21 , 2004 PatienceDonkey Joanmary - do you scarify or soak the seeds at all ? Thanks Lilly joanmary_z10 Well , I have given a lot of seedlings away as exchanges , so I can just comment on the ones I have in the garden . The ones I have kept are about 2 - 3 ' tall . That ' s about 1.5 years growth . ( did not keep records on these ) I ' d say I have a another good year to wait before I have any flowers , judging by the thickness of the little trunk . The one thats flowering in abundance I bought with a trunk about 3 / 4 " wide No I dont scarify or soak the seeds , but it may be a good idea to try a few . My soil is very warm , and between the torrential summer rains and my iffy watering habits , the soil does stay fairly moist . Winter here is incredibly dry , and I tend to rely on my Melnor Timers throughout the garden . I have a new batch of seeds which I ' m planting right now . I ' ll make sure I add the date of planting , and keep a record . Re these incredibly horrible hurricanes : Our part of Florida ( south east ) have been so fortunate . The devastation to the parts hit , makes one eternally grateful and so incredibly sorry for those not as fortunate . My Carambola tree was split halfway down the trunk and I have learnt that heliconias are not worth planting as they look like hell ! In fact , today the last of the huge circle of H ' s has just gone into the garbage , many moans later from the fellow who dug the roots out ! ! Felled palms and broken branches , and a roof or two being blown off were the worst for us . So we are thanking our lucky stars . We keep our hurricane internet sites handy though ! Wish the H . season was over . 1 Like September 22 , 2004 PatienceDonkey Joanmary - do the seeds need to be fresh ? How fresh is fresh lol ? I have a few seeds that are at least a year old . Lilly September 23 , 2004 I really dont know how fresh they have to be to keep viable . When I do a ylang ylang seed exchange , I always put the date on the exchange page , so people can see how fresh my seeds are . Whatever seeds are not taken in about a week , I plant , without wasting any time . I have had pretty good luck with this . Try planting them as above and hope for the best . What do you have to lose , right ? Dont forget = dont EVER let them dry out in your seed bed ! September 24 , 2004 ok thanks ! I went ahead and planted them like you described , and I will wait to see what happens lol . I did soak them overnight , hope that will help them . Thanks a lot Joanmary September 24 , 2004 You are welcome . longriver I never have a Ylang Ylang . I hope to buy or to exchange to have a few seeds to germinate . I do develop about 150 to 200 new camellia seedlings very year . Some of my this year ' s seeds are germinating now . So I have some and different experiences in germinating of seeds . Let me outline a simple and fun method I developed last year for germination of seed in my home . 1 . Go to PetsMart to get a very large ( But it cane be lifted by one person ) tropical fish tank unit and a fish water heater 2 . Buy a long and narrow glass jug . 3 . Buy the best potting soil mix and the mix it with extra 30 % of coarse sand and perlite . 4 . Find a few about 1 / 2 Gal aquare plastic pots with good drain holes . and buy proper size coated racks ( can be two in one tank ) . 5 . I put moist soil mix in a nice transparent poly bag and heat it hot in microwave . 6 . The narrow jar is filled with water and submerge the water heater . Adjust proper setting . The tank space is about 70 to 72 degrees F . Use foil to cove the jar tightly to prevent evaporation . Once the set up is done , you can enjoy the tiny green house in the middle of harsh Winter . The light over the tank has the wavelength to help young seedling to grow . I will be in LA area next week , If any one can help me to point out where and which nursery to visit . Thanks . October 1 , 2004 karinz21 Longriver , what a great idea ! I have an ylang - ylang that is now about 8 or 10 feet tall , but will never bloom I fear . It ' s too dry in Southern California . Thee are many interesting nurseries in LA area , including San Gabriel Nursery , Mimosa in East Los Angeles , and Burkart ' s in Pasadena . October 1 , 2004 HI Longriver , your concept sounds really good , can you take a picture of your set up so I can fully understand your directions ? Would you use this say concept even in the summer ? So do you put the soil right in the aquarium ? Does it drain okay ? I guess I ' m a little confused . How long do you leave you seedlings in the terrarium ? If your heading to Orange county you should visit Roger ' s gardens . . . . . . it ' s very impressive it overlooks the They always have it decorated so beautiful for every season . you can look up their website www . rogersgardens . com Clare_CA Karin21 , the regular Cananga odorata gets to be a large tree and has to reach a certain level of maturity before it will bloom , but I believe that they do bloom here in Southern California . There are some which are street trees in Long Beach . My dwarf Cananga is blooming now . October 2 , 2004 longriver AngelSmell : I have a picture of last year ' s .The potting mix was in larger plastic containers with cut drain holes . My picture format is too large for posting . Even Clare showed me how easy it was . I just have not yet to handle a trial . This year I put my potting mix in about 5 " x5 " plastic pot . One tank holds 9 containers and one space for tall water jar . If I have time next week , I will take a picture . If you have any email address , I may send you both pictures later . I have been harvesting my camellia seeds now as the seed pods showing readiness . To make the story short , In early April , I will move my young seedlings , about 2 to 4 inches , out to my green house . It is very important first to harden the young plants slowly and gardually . It may be possible to germinating veg or other seeds . This is a basic idea . If you want to try it , you may need to modify the set up to fit your own condition . I plan to put my one gal grafts of M alba in the Summer months in the tanks compared that of in my passive green house . My area is very cool in the evening ( even in the Summer time ) which is not good for grafting of M . alba . I do research for fun . October 3 , 2004 Longriver : Thank You so much for taking the time to explain again , I think I uderstand but would still like to see a picture . I would like to do your idea on a smaller version , I wish I had a bigger yard to plant tons of seedlings but I do n ' t . Someday Maybe .

October 5 , 2004 Hi Karin and AngelSmell , thanks for the compliments . The truth is that I can detect no fragrance from the flowers at all . It may be that it is just not hot and humid enough right now . The whole plant has an all over musky smell though and is pretty to look at anyway .

I am giving away 2 very large boston ferns to make room for my 2 new plants that smell pretty . Oh well you only live once . . . . I like to spoil myself . October 7 , 2004 Thanks for your kind offer , AngelSmell , but I actually have seven Celadine ' s right now . You could give away or sell the parent plant and keep a cutting or two for yourself and start over . The cuttings root easily . You should check with GreenMart , since they are so close to you , to see if they would buy your plumeria from you or perhaps arrange a trade with them . It actually stays pretty cool in the summer here because we ' re only about 10 miles from the beach . I used to live in Buellton - - now , it got hot there , 110 in the summer all the time . It only gets into the 90 ' s here in the summertime . I used to visit Santa Maria all the time and go to Costco up there . The Michelia x albas at Temple , which sell for $ 30 to $ 40 , are about two to three feet tall . They have taller ones in larger containers which sell for more money . I got mine from there , and two years later , it is around six feet tall . I bought plants all last year and the year before , and now I ' m finding it is way too crowded here and I have way too much to take care of ! Still , I fall in love with new fragrant plants all the time . I just got an India Carnation on E - bay that just arrived , it looked pretty interesting , I need to go home and plant that tonight . Are you familiar with this plant ? It looks like a tll Gardenia plant . . . . The plant that is commonly called Carnation of India is Tabernaemontana divaricata . I have it and love it . The flowers are fragrant only at certain times of the day and only under certain conditions , and then only certain ones are and the other are n ' t !

Comments ( 16 ) anniew Perhaps . . . .and it depends on how hungry the deer are . . .asparagus , rhubarb , garlic . Everything else is pretty much fair game ( no pun intended ) . Like Save January 25 , 2003 Wingnut_8b I agree with Annie . I do n ' t know about rhubarb and asparagus , but I have some garlic and onions planted outside the garden fence and the cows have muched them down . I know deer eat different things than cattle , but if the cattle eat them I ' d bet the deer would too . Can you fence it 6 or 8 feet high ? That ' s about the ONLY thing that REALLY works to keep deer out . I knew someone who planted things like lantana and rosemary around the perimeter of his veggie patch . Deer are browsers , so once they got a whiff of the not - so - tasty things on the outside , they just meandered on off . This only worked when there was plenty of other things for them to eat outside the garden ~ if they ' re hungry , they ' ll jump the rosemary , et al , and much on your veggies in a heartbeat . Along with the above , he sprayed everything inside with one You could also set up a deer blind real close and get veggies AND meat from your garden . ; ) All that is just too much work for me , so if I did n ' t have BIG dogs to run the deer off , I ' d just build a fence one year and call it good . ; ) 1 Like Save January 26 , 2003 westbeck35 Use all the ideas above and add on to it . Deer are leary of the color white . The danger sign is the flash of a white tail . A white rope around the garden at 3 1 / 2 or 4 feet off the ground . I have raised bed with 10 ' white pvc hoops to hold the plastic and row covers . They wo n ' t put their heads through the hoops . Stick some rods in the ground and tie white kitchen bags over the rods so they can flap in the wind . Like March 21 , 2003 pnbrown In my experience , deer do not eat garlic or onions ; not a bite while absolutely everything else right by them is gobbled . Last summer my deer - infested field produced 400 lbs of onions but not a single potatoe from 50lbs planted . 1 Like March 22 , 2003 Growin_Crazy We always just put hay bales and a water trough out about 30 feet from the garden . They never touched the garden at all . Same with rabbits . Planted a row of lettuce all the way around the garden . They ate that and stayed away from the veggies . Maybe I was just lucky . Do n ' t know what the cost of hay is in your area , but in mine it was pretty cheap , and I could barter with a guy down the road who grew it , so it was a good April 2 , 2003 nygardener Inside my garden there is a huge bed of lettuce . The rabbits stay away from that and chow down on broccoli and savoy cabbage . Go figure ! For deer I have a 6 foot fence . For a larger garden or where deer are bigger you might need 8 feet . It ' s not that much work to put up fencing on metal posts and not that expensive . You could try a border of " stinky " stuff like wormwood , feverfew , marigolds , and garlic . Maybe tansy and rue . June 1 , 2007 pablo_nh I hope they solved the problem by now : ) June 8 , 2007 stan41 I never have had deer eat tomato plants . They eat just about everything else though . This year I put up a temporary electric fence . Works like a charm ! No deer have been inside my garden this year for the first time ever . Stan July 18 , 2007 beverlylyon I make egg shell potpourri baggies and hang them around my garden perimeter at nose height to deer . They hate the smell of egg shells . I ' ve been saving my egg shells ever since I read that they disliked the odor . It works really well . August 8 , 2016 perennialprobowler In the suburbs deer love tomato plants . I saw a deer prevention system that shoots a stream of water when they come near . February 25 , 2017 jeanette_cox_ns Last summer the deer enjoyed everything in my garden except the kale . I had my lettuce in a separate place in a ground level planter & they did n ' t touch it . This year we are putting up a high fence so we have a good crop . April 13 , 2017 natwman I supplement feed deer regularly . I have found that deer as a whole do not like ASPARAGUS , ONIONS or HOT PEPPERS like JALEPENOS . They will eat regular peppers although its not on the top of their list . I have experimented with many fruits and veggies and I have found that they are somewhat discriminating eaters . Some deer like strawberries , etc . while others wo n ' t eat them . Most do n ' t prefer cauliflower if there are other options . Pregnant deer in their later term will be the least discriminating April 26 , 2017 natwman Note on the fencing . I just read an article that says if you put up a deer fence it should be 8 FEET HIGH not 6 feet as the deer can get tangled up in it trying to clear it , possibly with a broken leg and die . Sadly , I found this to be true . We have a fence about this height put up around some land we had on a hill near a busy road . The fence was more for boundary purposes but I did n ' t think the deer would even try April 26 , 2017 Aurora Borealis OK , this is a wild - card solution , but it works for those with an appetite for homesteading and keeping chickens or ducks . IMO , putting up an 8 foot fence is MUCH harder / heavier work than putting up a 6 foot fence . If you ' re having pros do it - no problem . 6 ' is n ' t enough . BUT - deer are fearful of a double fence , it ' s hard to gauge the distance for jumping . So I did a double 6 ' fence around my garden 2 Likes May 4 , 2017 Thomas Reed Deer are related to goats . They are what are commonly referred to as unconscious nibblers . Which means they will eat almost anything . Up to and including pine needles which they seem to like very much . So far everything we have put out in the front yard they have eaten . Except the mint plants , and a lemon that one of my grand kids tried to feed to one of them and the deer tried to eat it . The thing you need to know about deer is that their appetites will change . Just when July 9 , 2017 dennis5565 You forgot rocks . They do n ' t eat them if they are bad tasting .

You ask them how much it costs to bring a line in . But sit down and hold onto your hat before you ask . My last quote was $ 30,000 to bring the power half a mile . That ' s makes a generator look pretty good . Call local well drillers or the local water master . They will know how deep the local wells are and if you can even get a permit to drill a well . In some areas you can not drill a well , and in other areas you can only have a well for household use , no irrigation . Every drop of water everywhere in the USA belongs to someone .

Gotta tell you , sometimes ( often ) FSBO is more expensive than what is listed with a real estate agent . The agent tries to talk the seller into trying for a realistic price . All foreclosures are going to be through an agent . That ' s the way it is done . HUD lists their own foreclosures on their website and there are some good bargains there . I think I ' ve got address for a couple of sites where you can see foreclosures listed for free . I would NOT pay for that information . If you know what county , foreclosures will be listed at the county offices , because they require legal paperwork to be filed . Also , most banks will have a list of their own foreclosures on the web . Search by each bank individually . Counties will give you a listing of their tax sale properties . Be aware that in most states , you are buying a tax certificate and not the land . You will have to wait out the redemption period and then foreclose . The property might come with unpaid liens . Do n ' t buy at tax sales without learning every single detail of how it works . Do not assume you know what you are doing because of what you ' ve heard about it . December 14 , 2010 For foreclosures , you can try this website . If they just hint around at the property and do n ' t give the listing or the bank , simply check with the county , or with a local real estate agent that handles foreclosures . All foreclosures are sold through agents . There is no reason to pay for information . For the sales on the courthouse steps , sometimes you can buy , but often the bank buys back and then lists the property with an agent . Do n ' t buy on the courthouse steps unless you ' ve done a title search beforehand . http : / / www all - foreclosures . com / reolist . htm December 14 , 2010 Realtor . com will give you a listing of most properties for sale in an area . RealtyTimes will give you some names of local agents plus a market report on local sales conditions . retrogeek42 I stumbled across this site through a Google search . If you are looking for cheap , tillable land , I suggest the Texas Panhandle . We live " in town " in a community just under 1,000 pop , and our home ( purchased through tax bid for $ 370 ) appraises at $ 8600 . . .for a 2 ( LARGE ! ) bedroom home with 300 sq . foot basement . . .total living area of about 1500 square feet . The total lot size is about 1 / 4 acre . Most land needs to be purchased in larger acreages , but land in the small towns or on the outskirts of these towns goes for a pittance .

February 11 , 2011 landwatcher WARNING . . . .If you even attempt to buy land in Van Horn , Texas , be sure to check the land owner . A fella named Glenn Rankle has land there , for sale , to which he will never give you the ownership to . It was 4000 for 40 acres back in the late 70 ' s and early 80 ' s and after I paid him off ( including interest at 9 % ( This was back in the 80 ' s remember and interest was NOT at 9 % ) he sent me a letter telling me I still had to pay , yet another 4000 ( plus interest ) . I told him where to get off , and he is still trying to pull this crap , selling that same old useless land . Water is available at a depth of 500 feet . YES ! ! ! 5 Hundred feet . No electricity is available and only windmills are used and they are 25 footers or larger . There was only one , within a 20 mile radius . Callte can only eat scrub oaks , which are not even available this year due to severe drought coinditions and probably not available for the next few years until it comes back , and even then it is few and far between . The soil is not sandy or loamy but ROCKS ! ! ! I know of no crops being grown there , and there are no ther ground water sources available . Glenn Rankle rips people off around the U.S and that fact can be found by googling his name and doing your research . This jerk made millions off of unsuspecting people getting ripped off and he continues to this day . If I remmeber correectly the name of the ranch he was selling off was the Wolf Creek Ranch or something similar . My main point is to research the land before you buy it , who is selling it , and what is there reputation . Are there any minerals , where and how much water is available , and HOW is it available . Is there any electrical available , are there any cell towers in the area , and how far away are they . How about emergency services , etc . Last but not least , make sure there are no incumberences , no levy ' s , and that your contract is ron clad , down to the letter , or people like Rankle will rip your money right out from under you . My total loss to the rat ba $ tard was around 9000.00 for a worthless pile of junk land , which it still is , to this day . August 9 , 2011 landwatcher by the way , minerals only give you rights down a few hundred feet . 500 feet and you would have to pay for the right to access that water . The windmill & tower would cost around 5 - 8 thousand dollars , not including the 1 - inch steel rods you would need to pump that water , at that depth , the pump and standing barrel at the bottom , not to mention drilling of the well , casing , cementing in the casing , water holding tanks , etc . and then it would have to Just be aware of Glenn Rankle and his tricks . He is definitely a rip off artist . Look him up . sorry for the mispelled words , as I should have proofread it before posting it . August 9 , 2011 to find out about Glen Rankle , check this link http : / / whois . domaintools . com / grland . com Notice how many times he has changed his website ( over 50 ) and how many times he has done other things to try and hide ( over 100 ) He has 5 other websites , and is supposed to be a realestate dealer in California .

The restrictions on land / water use are so scary for me , imagine planning largish scale construction and having to stop and regroup because you found your plans were n ' t kosher ! March 13 , 2012 obywan I was reading this thread and would like to contribute . I think the documentary Garbage Warrior on Youtube would be of interest to you all . You can also go to Earthship ( dot ) com for more info . You can also watch Earthship seminar Part 1 and 2 on Youtube for more detailed info . It is possible to live off the grid with no well and no utilities coming into your home . You can grow food indoors year round including citrus and bananas even if you live in a cold climate . It is all September 18 , 2012 topsiebeezelbub Costillo county in southern Colorado is very cheap land , but be sure there is water available . It is near the Great Sand Dunes Nat . Park and not too far from Santa Fe New Mexico , so I think it will be worth a lot more someday . I remember seeing giant tomato farms there as a kid , but is just desert with no water . Great place to build an earthship and harvest snow in a cistern . September 19 , 2012 Doglips I ' m looking to buy land on the moon , can u guys recommend a good location ? I ' ll move there , I ' ll do it . September 30 , 2012 SantaBarbaraChris Wow , great information here . In 2002 I did a research on property and wanted these things : clean air , clean water , moderate climate , no military bases , and no Superfund sites or toxic waste dumps . Those were the parameters I typed into the government database called Enviro - mapper . There were only four places that came up that met most of the demands . Southern New Mexico met all plus more ( 1 1 / 2 hours to an international airport , 15 minutes to town , and 15 minutes to an interstate , and a hospital too ) Ideally , I would have liked to gather several neighbors and form a cooperative type eco - village . Now I am back online and looking to see what everyone else is doing around the country and to ask if anyone has successfully partnered with others to create small communities similar to the one I mentioned . October 21 , 2012 ShadowLady57 In terms of goats , and predators , some breeds of dogs , are guards for your animals , like the Kuvasz , Anatolian Shepard , Great Pyrenees and about 11 other breeds , these dogs live in with the goats , or sheep , and will take down most anything that tries to hurt your flock . Its something to think about if you want land that is out of the way , it would cut down on predation , and keep your investment safe . November 8 , 2012 ShadowLady57 Make sure you do your homework before buying any land , you can get topographic maps from the USGS , that will show roads , elevations , whether the land is forested , etc . As for Craigs List , be very careful , most of the stuff on their is scams , with people just trying to get your money . I had friends that thought they were getting a fixer upper house , and they paid their money and moved in , imagine their surprise when the real owner showed up , wanting to know what they were November 8 , 2012 SantaBarbaraChris Thanks for the great reminder ShadowLady . All counties have the information needed . I saw a property I was interested in recently only to find out that it was located within a home owners association even though it was in a rural area . The monthly fees were $ 341.00 . There were many foreclosed homes in the same area . November 9 , 2012 mesusan5 Lots of ideas here . Thanks . I am 50 , female and living on disability . I currently rent and am likely looking at divorce very soon . So I am beginning to wonder about the next chapter in many life . Really interested in " tiny homes " built on a trailer axle to avoid the hassles of building permits but I need land . So , just began looking for reasonable land . This is one of the first sites I actually joined because there are lots of useful ideas . I like the idea of " communites " but where do you find them ? Ideally I would love to find about 4 acres for about $ 5000.00 tops . ( For all , not each ) in a climate warmer and dryer than Seattle and not too far from town and medical facility . Not that I hope to need it much but kinda scary to be too far away . Lol Like I said , just beginning my search . Any thoughts or ideas ? Thanks for any leads . January 17 , 2013 magilojoh @ farmfreedom I am new to this page . I just wanted to say that it sounds like you would be interested in what this person has to say @ solarcabinhomesteading http : / / www . youtube . com / user / solarcabin . He has abt . 60 videos on self - sufficient living with lots of good tips on great places to buy cheap land and ways to scavenge things to build things . . February 19 , 2013 JoeTill Any help is appreciated ; I am interested to know where I could buy a very small piece of land , less than half an acre even , where a small dwelling could be erected . It would have to be within a couple miles of a place to get food and water , but aside from that no real restrictions . In short , for around $ 3000 could I purchase land on which a tent could be erected , or where a little cabin could be built ? I would be looking to do this as soon as possible if I am able to get the right information and simply go through with the deal - so any help towards this end is valuable . A lot of information is already contained in the thread , but anything a bit more specific as to my purposes ( land on which a tent / etc could be erected , not concerned at the moment with agricultural prospects , etc . ) Thanks . . March 2 , 2013 A lot of people are asking this same question right now . I know there must be groups of homesteaders on the Internet . As far as cheap land goes , there is still acreage in Deming Ranchettes ( Deming , New Mexico ) available but the zoning and regulations have changed constantly . Nowadays you ca n ' t even run gas lines or electric lines to your property without a building permit . I think the best thing to do is find people who have similar interests and values , pool your money and buy a large piece of land in an unicncoporated area , and divide it up between the partners . Only resell to the other partners first , and then only to people who will agree to abide by the common rules that you all come up with . March 7 , 2013 Hawknest ' Where is cheapest land per acre in the U.S.A. ? ? ? I can relocate anywhere . No hazardous waste dumps please . no ' wetlands ' please . What are the drawbacks ? I will consider any state or territory ' I ' ve been pondering this same question for quite a while . Land in Wyoming is certainly cheap - esp near Rawlins . Understand there are no rights passed along . No water , no minerals , nothing . It ' s scrub land - greasewood and lots of alkali flats . $ 45k gets you a quarter section . In New Mexico - land from Magdalena up the hill to Quemado is cheap too . Water wells are deep 450 ' or more and expensive to drill . In West Texas , my choice is Sanderson - Dryden . I can get 700 ac for $ 250 - 295 / ac . There ' s water and some semblence of structures . Lots of game - more than the other states and not many hunters . You can get ' out ' easier - road and Amtrak in Alpine . I ' m moving to my piece of heaven shortly and do n ' t mind the elev or the dry summer heat , b / c it ' s practically the same as my Wyoming homestead . I will not miss the religious people showing up on my doorstep once a month - trying to save me , nor harrassment by the local kops . October 1 , 2013 apophasis Well , there ' s some cheap land in New Mexico for sure , but the problem is water . Up around Taos , Tres Piedras , it ' s still cheap . I moved to Taos in 1995 to work on Earthships there , and for a bit of a hijack , I would tell anybody who ' s thinking about building one to run , not walk , in another direction . Earthships are a terrible design , and a bad idea in every way , including thermally . I ' ve built them and lived in them and they are awful . Look into something that actually works , like straw bale , or rastra block , or hemp - crete . . . Earthships are just awful things . Yes , they have some good ideas , like rooftop rainwater catchment and grey water , but use those in a better design . Here ' s what you want : Superinsulation , r - 50 or better , everywhere including the roof . Radiant heat , fed by a solar water heater panel , and maybe wood , gas , whatever , as well . No north windows and lots of vertical south windows , with overhangs to exclude summer sun , but admit winter sun . You want a lot of thermal mass inside an insulative envelope , with good solar gain in winter and none in summer . Earthships are directly coupled to the earth with no insulation , so while they wo n ' t freeze , they do try to remain 58 degrees , like the earth . That ' s just miserable in winter . And in summer , the slanted glass overheats and humidifies , and your house feels like a greenhouse , because it is . Plus , they are super labor - intensive to build , and use an ungodly amount of concrete . Ugh . Back on topic : I ' m leaving tomorrow on a quest for cheap land in southern Colorado . If I find anything , I ' ll shout back . October 5 , 2013 auntiesherry I know this thread is several years old , but it is helpful to me now since I am looking for raw land in the next few months or so . I fell in love with some raw land in northern Nevada , but I was n ' t thinking with my head . I ' ve decided I want some sort of water on the land - not only a well . I also do n ' t want the high wind stuff . Oh , and I like lots of trees - so I am rethinking Nevada . I ' m in the Chicago area and I am tired of winters and was surprised to find out the winters in Nevada are worse than what I have now . I found some cheap land in west TX almost on the border to MX . I do n ' t mind someone coming over to look for a better life , but I decided I do n ' t want to be the first house " bad ( aka drugs - etc ) " people bump into . So , that part of TX is out - that ' s just me I checked out Colorado and Wyoming ( southern ) , but the well depth looks to be astronomical . Although I would get my trees and grasslands . Now I have been looking at MO ( south of Salem ) . It ' s looking better with trees and water on the land Every property I look at has 6 reasons for it and half a dozen against it . Hoping I know when I run across the right one . December 10 , 2013 BugFinderK9 How about this one ? ? 90k for 60 acres in Paradise ! !

My health has taken a turn for the worse so I will be staying In Ma . because of the health insurance . Did you August 4 , 2014 Drakemoore From what I ' ve seen . Land itself is n ' t that expensive in almost every state . Note ' land ' . Not : " House and land , mobile home and land " Not : " Within 5 miles or less from a town of more than 500 people " Not : " With water tapped and connected to power grid " Yes : " Land in the middle of nowhere covered with trees " Yes : " Land that ' s a desert or rocky , in the middle of nowhere " That ' s not to say that there ' s not hidden gems out there . I ' ve seen some beautiful land , 5 + acres with homes , or mobile homes , not that far from town for less than $ 50k . Problem ? It ' s usually sold within days of it entering the MLS . Either by desperate people who have the money to buy it outright , or by people / businesses wanting to resell it for profit . I mean , if you do n ' t mind living in the middle of nowhere , and either living entirely off grid or having to pay to get electricity , well and plumbing installed and probably living inside a camper or a small temp stick house , you ' ll find a looooooot of land out there cheap . Additionally , if there ' s no well tapped there , then you wo n ' t know fully if it ' s possible to tap a well there , or it is , if the water is safe . Me personally , I would ' highly prefer ' a place where I can at least get even very low grade broadband that is n ' t delivered via satellite or wireless and is n ' t 15 + miles away from even a tiny town .

Comments ( 14 ) tjsangel Hi Belinda , Lily bulbs are large , meaning they need to be planted deep , about 6 - 8 inches . The length of your hand is one way to tell how deep to plant these : ) BTW , I love these lilies ! They are so beautiful & fragrant . Jen Like Save May 1 , 2006 belindainga Thanks , so much , Jen ! That is a big help . . .I wanted to plant them last evening , but I was paranoid that I would plant them incorrectly . I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction . . .now I can get them on their way ! : - ) I ca n ' t wait to see them bloom , if they bloom , of course ! lol Thank you again . . . . . .Belinda Like Save May 2 , 2006 hld6 Hi Belinda , With only a few exceptions , ( Candidum for instance ) , Lilies are stem rooting plants and benefit from being planted deep , 8 " - 10 " . Other exceptions are species lilies that have small bulbs like pumilum and cernuum . Also , since lily bulbs are tasty , planting deep keeps the squirrels from getting them in the winter . A deep insulating layer of soil also helps moderate wide temperature swings in late winter that can fool bulbs into sprouting early . If you ' ve already planted them do n ' t worry , the stem rooting is beneficial , but 2 " does n ' t make a big difference . Just mulch them well in the Fall . - Helen May 2 , 2006 linnea56 I asked my DH to transplant some for me ( my carpal tunnel was acting up ) and just noticed a couple were planted too shallowly ! This was done a week or more ago . Do I need to replant these ? Or is it too late now ? I had planted them in a holding bed last fall because I bought the bulbs then could n ' t get into the dense garden jungle to plant them . These are Orientals , which I have not grown before . May 3 , 2006 hld6 Hi Linnea56 Since they were transplanted only a couple weeks ago they have n ' t had much time to establish so I ' d go ahead and move them now . Just be careful when digging to not break off the stem that may be beginning to emerge from the bulb underground and try to disturb the roots as little as possible . The soil should still be pretty soft around them so it should n ' t be too difficult to dig them up gently . But honestly , one of the great things about lilies is that they ' re not " fussy " plants . If you ' d prefer to set them deeper in the Fall , ( assuming a new " jungle " has n ' t grown up by then ) , they would grow fine this season . Deeper is just more ideal . - Helen May 3 , 2006 shic_2006 Are Stargazers different from Orientals ? May 5 , 2006 Stargazers are one type of Oriental Lily . While it is the most popular , there are many others . - Helen May 7 , 2006 peternyc Helen , Thanks so much for answering my question - my apologies for the delay in thanking you . I will wait until the leaves and stems have died back , early fall , as you say ; better to have them for years to come than ruin them now . This is a wonderful forum . Thank you again ! Sincerely , Peter NYC June 20 , 2006 mano I just purchased 14 Stargazer lily bulbs . Is it OK to plant them now , or do I need to wait until spring ? Thanks , Mano Virginia February 23 , 2008 alina_1 Mano , Plant them ASAP . Lilies do not go dormant like other bulbs . They will be weaker if you will store them . We will have pretty decent frost free weather next week here in Mid - Atlantic area , so the soil will be workable . Provide them with excellent drainage . Good luck ! February 24 , 2008 mano Alina , Thanks , I read your note and went outside immediately and planted them . The weather today is overcast and 50 degrees , so it was perfect to dig a few holes . I ' ll report back when they bloom . Thanks again for the advice . Mano February 24 , 2008 alina_1 You ' re welcome ! I hope you chose a sunny spot for them . Watch for slugs when your Lilies will start to sprout . Alina . I do n ' t have a great deal of sun in my yard . I ' m on 3 acres , but in the woods ; however , I planted them where I get the most sun . Some that I planted a couple of years ago did very well last year just a few feet away , so I hope it will be OK . February 25 , 2008 Dolly Browning I just planted my Lillie ' s in the soil .

http://forums.gardenweb.com/discussions/2021916/hummingbirds | Minnesota Gardening Hummingbirds jel48 April 22 , 2007 Time to put out the hummingbird feeders and anything else you might use as ' hummingbird bait ' - the first of the spring migration hit Minnesota last week . I went shopping at the local nurseries for my own hummingbird bait , as I do every year about this time . For me , it ' s generally one or two hanging planters full of ( mostly ) petunias , as the hummingbirds seem to like them pretty well . I find that the plain old dark purple ones seem to work the best . I ' m always Do you put out hummingbird bait in the spring ? And , if so , what is your favorite ? Here is a link that might be useful : Spring 2007 Hummingbird Migration Map Email Save Comment 36 Like Comments ( 36 ) dmurray407 I ' ve had my feeders up for a few days now - I have a bright red dianthus pot hanging by my feeder - I ' m not sure it ' s really on their menu , but it sure is bright . Anyway , so far no hummers . . . ( I ' m near Minneapolis ) Like Save April 22 , 2007 belle_michele This is the first year I ' m going to put out hummingbird feeders . . .last year for the first time I noticed them hanging around a hanging basket of petunias - - it was such a THRILL ! ! ! They really are like jewels in flight , I held my breath the first time I saw them . I got a couple of humingbird feeders at the end of the year at walmart , from what I ' ve read , the pre - made , red stuff is bad and it ' s better to make your own , is that correct ? I ' m even adding quite a few plants just for their benefit and if they do n ' t take advantage of it I know the bumble bees will . phyllis__mn I see they are in this area . . . .better get the feeders up in the morning . selkie_b OH THANK YOU ! I have a really nice new feeder and TOTALLY forgot I ' d tucked it away . . . On that today ! I have the " nectar " recipe - does anyone need me to post it ? We had a couple little guys a bit later in the season last summer ( first time and I ' ve been trying for years ! ) when the penstamon and cardinal flowers were blooming . - Marie April 23 , 2007 belle_michele Selkie B - yes , please , if you do n ' t mind , I ' d love to have that recipe . I had a copy of it last fall , but for the life of me ca n ' t remember where I put it . I ' m going to pick up some petunias for my hanging basket and maybe set some out in planters until things start blooming in my garden . All my nanking cherry and apricot trees are in bloom not and are just covered with bumble bees and butterflys - but I guess they are the wrong kind of flowers for Humingbirds . April 24 , 2007 selkie_b It ' s a 1 : 4 ratio - so 1 / 4 cup sugar in 1 cup water for a small feeder works great . Boil that to retard spoilage . Let it cool and put it into your feeder . It needs to be changed once a week , a bit more often if they are using it a lot or it ' s really hot - so it does n ' t ferment . DO NOT put in food coloring to make it red and DO NOT use artificial sweeteners or honey as these will all cause - Marie April 25 , 2007 Selki - B , THANKS for the recipe ! I believe the main problem with the ' commercial ' ready - to use hummingbird nectors was the issue with the added dye - there ' s some thought that that may cause weak bird shells or something . ~ Michele April 25 , 2007 birdwing I ' ve noticed they really like my Nasturtiums and the tall Nicotianas like cranberry island . .I was surprised the first time I saw one in the city too . .I ' m in St . Paul about a half mile from downtown and I get more and more every year it seems ( as my garden gets more established ) not quite swarms yet but we ' ll see ! doucanoe Wow , looks like they will arrive early this year ! The past several years I have recorded my first sighting and it has been around May 10 . I put one feeder up last weekend " just in case " . Will get the others out very soon . We usually have 3 - 4 pairs buzzing around our yard , they love my daylilies , phlox , and zinnias . Birdwing I might try nicotiana this year , do you have a favorite ? Linda irrigationcontractor Just a little more advice regarding feeding the hummingbirds - use pure cane sugar , not beet sugar or raw sugar . Keep your feeders immaculate - black mold can kill the birds . I usually just rinse my feeders out with very hot water , but I occasionaly bleach soak them . Have fun feeding your hummers ! April 26 , 2007 birdwing Doucanoe , I have been growing the nicotianas for about 4 years now . .I started w / sylvestris but that one seems to get alot of aphids . I ' ve tried pretty much all of them but I like Cranberry Island , Daylight Sensation and Mutabilis . I think they will have most of these at the friends sale . . . I really love them and they smell amazing ! April 27 , 2007 michele13bugs I love Hummingbirds too . I have a cute story I would like to tell . We have have a cabin up north between Park Rapids and Walker on Lake Belle Taine , anyway about 20 years ago my husband would always be out watering the yard with the hose and he became friends with a male hummer he named Harley after the motorcycles , since he is an old motorcycle lover . This harley Hummer would always come and take a shower in the hose spray day after day and this went on for about 5 or 6 years Michele . . . . . > , , April 27 , 2007 kimeryl For those of you who are into hummingbirds , I ' m including a link to a newsletter some friends from Madison put together . They are about as hummingbird crazy as you can get , I think they have around 40 feeders and do all their plantings to maximize the draw to their yard . They also do a fall festival at their home that ' s pretty neat . Last year , I saw soming hummers in our yard out of the blue , did n ' t even have the feeders up . It is a fun Here is a link that might be useful : Hummingbird Newsletter May 1 , 2007 gamebird Okay , I ' m embarrassed to post this , but I gotta learn somehow . A friend of mine is really entranced with the idea of attracting hummingbirds so last year he bought a feeder and food , filled it and asked if he could hang it in our backyard . I said yes , if he ' d do everything needed to upkeep it . He agreed . So the filled feeder hung there all summer . In the fall it began to leak and eventually I took it down , washed it out and stored it for the winter . I think he changed the " food " once during that summer . Spring has now arrived , and he came by and got the feeder out of storage a few weeks ago , filled it and hung it up . Is it supposed to be changed every week ? I have yet to see a single hummingbird eat out of it , though I ' ve seen plenty of wasps around it last year and some dead ants were in it ( not sure how they got there ) . I ' ve seen a hummingbird in my neighbor ' s yard , checking out his trumpeter vines , so I know I ' d rather not have the feeder hanging there , feeding nothing and perhaps spoiling or fermenting , for another summer . If changing it every week attracted hummingbirds to it , then I ' d do that . Last year I did n ' t realize maybe that was the problem . But now that I read in this thread that the food should be changed every week . . . So what do you suggest ? May 2 , 2007 doucanoe Gamebird , yes , you do need to keep the feeder clean and the nectar fresh . I run my feeder thru the dishwasher every couple of weeks . In between I just clean it in hot soapy water and rinse well . Make your own nectar as stated above , one part sugar to 4 parts water , bring to boil and cool . Do not add any colorings . I make a batch and keep extra in the fridge . Also , do you have any flowering plants in your yard / garden ? That will attract them also . My hummrs especially like bee balm , phlox and lilies . I am thinking of planting a honeysuckle too , they love those . Linda May 6 , 2007 garystpaul Response to irrigationcontractor above : to my knowledge there is absolutely no difference between pure cane sugar and beet sugar . Chemicially , they are exactly the same thing . GaryStPaul May 6 , 2007 michele13bugs The Hummers do love the Honeysuckle Vine too . I have about 5 of them growing around my chain link fence where my dogs are and the Hummers are there all the time . They also love the Trumpet Vine that ' s around the fence too . ( It takes about 5 to 7 years from first planting the Trumpet Vine to actually get flowers , but once they start there are more and more flowers every year . I ' ve managed to just about hide my whole fence since I do n ' t like the looks May 7 , 2007 vinmn Well It ' s May 15th of 2008 and I have n ' t seen my hummmingbirds yet this year ! ! . It has been a long cold spring so maybe they are on their way , at least that ' s what I ' m hoping . I ' ve had my feeder up for 2 weeks and have changed it a few times already . I ' m ready for them ! ! I hope to see them soon . I live just south of Minneapolis , has anyone seen them in this area yet ? Thanks Vanessa May 15 , 2008 jodikay I live about an hour north of St . Paul and have n ' t seen a hummingbird yet . I wait to put out my feeders when I spot one . My orioles just arrived so I think arrivals are a little late with the cooler weather . May 15 , 2008 jennypat Zone 3b NW MN Wow , I am way up north by Grand forks ND and saw my first hummingbird at the feeder on Monday , the 12th . Jenny P windytown We ' re 35 miles west of Minneapolis . The first hummingbird arrived on May 5th . I had been watching the map at this link and was prepared with the feeders . http : / / www . hummingbirds . net / map . html They do love the petunia baskets everyone ' s been mentioning . It ' s been a pain bringing things inside everynight but hopefully spring has finally sprung ! We ' re excited to have a pair of orioles decide to stick around this year . The only disappointment is they hog the hummer feeders . They tick off the goldfinches too when they try to feed off the red dome top on the nyger seed tube feeder . Other feathered friends this year include a pair of rose breasted grossbeaks and white breasted nuthatches . The hummingbirds are still my favorites though . : ) I ca n ' t wait for more of the perennial blooms to feed them and plant the annuals . Red salvia is the most popular among the hummers here . hummingbirds . net sandysgardens Put out a container with grape jelly for your Orioles . They love the stuff . We put ours in a plastic container that John ' s black electrical tape comes in , works great . We also hang a second liquid feeder , orange one for the Orioles , that will help too . Last night I put out a large orange , cut in half , and 3 Orioles pecked together on them - was Great to watch . NO HUMMERS yet ! They need a certain constant temp to fly , so as it warms up , they should be coming ! ! ! May 16 , 2008 windytown Thanks sandysgardens , for the oriole info . I ' ll be putting some jelly and oranges out today . We do have two liquid feeders . I ' m curious about the orange one . Is the feeder itself orange or is the liquid orange ? TIA I have my fingers crossed for you that the hummers arrive this weekend ! : ) May 16 , 2008 trinityklm The hummingbirds loved my Salvia ' May Night ' last year . Must be that deep purple color that they love . It ' s so thrilling to see them , is n ' t it ? mnwsgal Saw my first hummingbird a few days ago . Have n ' t seen it since . Orioles have been coming around this week also . lmcs800 I saw one yesterday afternoon around my bleeding heart plant . # 1 for me this year . We ' re in Centerville , about 30 miles North of StPaul . May 17 , 2008 sandysgardens Hummers did arrive this past weekend at home and up at the cabin , so we are happy ! Windytown - my Oriole feeder has a clear top , but the bottom half is orange . You can use clear liquid or you can use orange , but the feeder color being orange is usually enough . The oriole liquid mix is 5 parts water to 1 part sugar , which is a slightly less sweet than the hummer mix ( 4 / 1 ) . The feeding holes are a tiny bit bigger for the Orioles and have good perches for them to sit on to eat . I bought it at Fleet Farm . The hummers use both liquid feeders ! Sandy May 20 , 2008 Sandy , I ' m so happy for you that the hummers arrived ! Hooray ! They do make it " real " that spring has arrived . Now if only I could get my annuals and tomatoes in the ground . Grrrr . . . Thanks for the oriole feeder info . I do n ' t have a Fleet Farm in my neck of the woods but will check out a couple of places in Waconia where it seems logical they might have them .

I never buy nectar , always use the boiled sugar mixture . Go ahead and save the money by returning the nectar if it is not inconvenient . Remember to change the mix often during the hot weather . I am also interested in what others use as jam and orange feeders for orioles . May 29 , 2008 That is so kool Sunset shepherdess , that your aunt and uncle are on Lake Belle Taine too . There is only one Belle Taine in the state and it is in the top 5 for clarity , 12 feet down you can see the bottom of the lake .

Due to the prevalence of deer in our area , and the incidence of lyme disease I ' m really not comfortable doing more than a little weeding in the sunny patches near our house . I used to have a great , adn reasonably priced gardener who used to weed for us , but he ' s moved away and others are charging a lot more to do it . Couple questions : 1 . I ' ve been told that PREEN is a very good weed killer that should be applied to the beds in early spring and will do a great job of keeping weeds from growing . Is that right ? or is there anything else i should instead use ? 2 . The nursery told me that typically it is best applied early spring , but if i can get the beds weeded once now , then i can apply it even in mid - june and still see a big reduction in weeds for the rest of the season . Could you please advice if this is all correct , or if you have any other suggestions I ' d much appreciate it . BEst Chitra Email Save Comment 11 Like Comments ( 11 ) dorothyz6 Preen is n ' t a weed killer per se - - it ' s a pre - emergent which means it prevents weed seeds from germinating . It wo n ' t do anything for the weeds that are currently in your beds . I have on and off used Preen in my gardens . I give all the beds a thorough weeding , apply the preen and then cover the beds with about a 2 - 3 " layer of mulch . Honestly , I have n ' t noticed a huge difference between the years when I Like Save June 8 , 2009 ego45 Yes , as Dorothy said , Preen is not a weed - killer , it ' s a pre - emergent and its effect lasts for about 3 months , not more . Whatever weeds are already in a soil they will grow thru it , but it will prevent FRESH seeds from germinating . Application of Preen in April OVER the mulch reduced my maple seedling sprouting rate by 90 % at least . In my garden any bare or freshly disturbed patch of soil has to be mandatory treated by Preen . And it works . jant What George said . . .dead on . I would n ' t be gardening anymore without it . . .my back could n ' t take it . MILLIONS of Norway seedlings spring up here every year . I do what George does ; put it right on top of the mulch under our monster Maple and water in . I reapply usually in late June , first one is done in late March . They also make a Preen with fertilizer which I use in my beds . My beds are normally without mulch because I transplant so June 9 , 2009 chitra0828 Hey this is great . So it looks like consensus seems to be go with the Preen , and you ' ve kindly suggested how i do it . OK . will do . In visiting the website it appears that organic Preen is the one to use with pachysandra , hydrangea etc v . the regular one . So i guess i ' ll do that . Thx Chitra June 9 , 2009 crnaskater Just remember that it lasts a max of 3 months - which could mean a big flush of weeds in August . Been there , done that and what a mess ! diggerdee zone 6 CT A chemical - free option is to lay newspaper ( about 8 sheets ) down in your beds , in between and around the plants , and then to mulch on top of that . Personally , I would weed the bed first , and then lay the paper and mulch , but I suppose you could try laying the paper right over the weeds and then mulching . The newspaper will smother the weeds and help prevent new ones from popping up . : ) Dee P.S. Have never tried it , but I ' ve read that corn gluten works the same way as Preen , and is more environmentally friendly . I believe you ' d have to use it in the same way as Preen ( pre - emergent , etc . ) June 10 , 2009 siennact I think organic Preen probably IS corn gluten . I bet it ' s cheaper without the Preen canister . June 10 , 2009 diggerdee zone 6 CT Hmm , I never knew there was an organic Preen , lol . You ' re probably right - cheaper without the label , lol ! : ) Dee tomakers I just looked at a friend ' s container of Preen the other day and IT IS corn gluten . I attempted to explain to my friend to just get the corn gluten , but sometimes people wo n ' t believe you if it does n ' t cost them anything ( my advice , I mean ) . Now I am looking for a source of corn gluten , I assume corn meal would work as well and I think I have read it will also suppress some diseases as well . June 12 , 2009 runktrun I am by all means not trying to squelch your attempts to organically control your weeds but I thought I should mention one potential problem with the product is that it may attract rodents . Since it is a protein by - product , mice , rabbits and other rodents may be attracted to it . Frankly corn and its by products are the favorite food of rodents or so I have been told by the experts . tomakers I would think that corn meal would be more expensive than corn gluten as there is no secondary market to sell gluten but there is nothing like a warm piece of corn bread . But I am interested to hear what you find . June 12 , 2009 Well , the cynic in me says that even if one is trying to stay organic ( and I do garden completely organically ) that buying corn gluten is probably a joke because it ' s most likely made with genetically modified corn . Sigh . Anyway , this is n ' t a discussion of organic vs . non - organic , and I apologize if I seemed to try to make it one . I just like to gently suggest other options , and since the OP did ask for some , I offered . Which brings me back to the newspaper . I am this very day going out to re - mulch a shrub border that I originally did last fall . Why re - mulch ? Because when I filled this raised - bed border with trucked - in soil , and then mulched , I did not put down newspaper , ( gosh , that soil looked so nice and pristine , lol ! ) and now it is absolutely covered in weeds , right through the mulch . Soooo , off to weed , pull back the existing mulch , lay down a nice thick layer of newspaper , and re - mulch . That should keep it nice for a few years until the paper breaks down and it needs to be redone . Dee Sign Up to Comment | [

I have a cucumber plant that came up with leaves that were 50 % bigger than normal and within 5 weeks it had 4 seperate stems all over a half inch in diameter with all leaves that were between 2 and 3 times the size of a normal leaf . Somehow this plant is like on steroids and has unbelievable vigor . Any help in how I could propagate it would be greatly appreciated thanks . Email Save Comment 5 Like Comments ( 5 ) hortus_custodis Cucumbers can be cloned . There would be two ways to accomplish it . One is through tissue culture , expensive and not likely to be as reliable as layering , cuttings , or from seed . Embryo harvesting is tedious and requires technical skill and the tools to accomplish it . The layer method would by to " brush " rotting hormone onto a node and then cover the node with soil . Cuttings would not be very reliable since annuals such as cucurbits are prone to rot and are short lived . The same issues are present and relevant for layers but it is still possible . As for the reasons you are interested . When " garden plants " germinate from the seed of plants that were planted the previous year they almost always have reverted to the traits of one or a combination less desirable of its parent plants . For example your cucumber , it has large leaves and grows rapidly . How many flowers have you observed and has it set fruit ? My guess is that you have seen few if any flowers . Hence , one of the parent plants had the same attributes and was a poor fruit producer . The other parent was much slower growing and had smaller leaves . But , it flowered prolifically and produced moderately sized fruit that was tasty but , had lower sugar content because of retarded growth and smaller leaves . A cross of the two was made and the results produced a plant with medium sized leaves enough flowers to produce a sizable crop that was above average in size and The results of such crosses is called Hybrid Vigor , this is what plant propagators are trying to attain when they breed in this manner . I stated the above not to discourage you but to keep you from being disappointed if things do not " turn out " with your volunteer plant . Like Save May 13 , 2009 soulreaver Thanks for your help . The plant has tons of flowers . The seeds I use were all heirloom and I believe that the particular seed that plant came from just had a beneficial genetic mutation . So you really think there is next to 0 % chance of using a cutting ? I want to find a way to make lots of this plant type . If I used the seeds from this plant then it would be alot less reliable since each seed would be slightly different right ? May 13 , 2009 hortus_custodis No problem , since it was an heirloom it may produce seed that is usable . Heirlooms are a little different in that they are specifically bred to produce fruit and reliable seed . It is one of the reasons that heirloom vegetables are gaining popularity . The chances of making cuttings are small . There are physiological constraints that come into play . Again , this is an annual plant and they have very soft tissue making it more prohibitive . If the plant is the offspring of heirloom plants the chances are increased for getting good and reliable seed . There are too many factors to list here that will determine that . If you have the time , patience and desire then it may be worth it . The change in my stance is due to the addition of the heirloom progenitor ( s ) information . Thanks for your time and explanations hortus . Right now I grow and sell to a local nursery . All of my plants are organic and heirloom . My seeds came from Seed Savers Exchange . This is my first year attempting to clone plants though so I am a bit new at it . So are you telling me to just save the seeds from it and really not attempt to do cuttings ? I know all seeds are slightly different from the parent but since this plant is so vigorous does that mean that a good chunk of the seedlings will share most of the genetic traits of the parent plant and that I should collect the seeds and simply thin out whatever does n ' t appear to have positive mutations next year ? By doing this will I continue to make my heirloom cucumber plants stronger and stronger each year ? Thanks for all the advice . For the cucumbers cuttings are not feasible . Without knowing a great deal more about the parents and the genetics I can not say how many . But , seed collection and then selection of seedlings is your best bet . Try doing some research on breeding plants and then pollination by hand for selected seed production . It is time consuming and tedious but yields are more reliable and you know what is what , if you will . The selective pollination and selection of parents will yield more reliable . It gets very " deep " very quickly . If you are serious it can also get into some serious record keeping and a lot of work . Letting " nature take its course " is unreliable and will yield far fewer positive results . Most of what you are seeing are not likely to be mutations as such . It is far more likely to be Dominant v . recessive genetics . It will require some reading and study to understand and to get " good " and manipulating the genes . Mendel would be a basic start .

When ready to cook place whole peppers on the grate and grill until charred on all sides ( about 4 - 6min a side ) . When done place in baking dish and cover with pastic wrap untill cool . This will help peel the skin off . When cool using the tip of a paring or butter knife scrape off burnt skin and then cut flesh from core and slice or cut as needed You can also roast your tomatoes and tomatillos this way which then you can make some tasty salsa .

It is nice when they are served instead of the very good , but much more common pickled ones . medcave You can also roast them under the broiler in your oven . Leave the door cracked so they do n ' t vaporize . No need to discard all the blackened bits either . . . lots of good flavor there . pepper_d0g I just saw a Bobbie Flay show on the Food Network .

July 9 , 2009 Suzi AKA DesertDance So CA Zone 9b Well , if you are going to heat up the oven , cut them almost to the stem , clean out the spines and seeds , stuff them with cream cheese & mozarella cheese , wrap them in half strips of bacon , and YUM ! ! July 9 , 2009 organic_dusty I own a Chile Grille and you place the peppers in the holes after they have had the seeds taken out and you can either roast them in the oven at 350 or on the grill . The best part is that it is made of stainless steel and you stand the jalapenos up and fill them with the filling of your choice . Tonight we had mammoths and regular jalapenos filled with corn meal and cheese . . .it was yummy sometimes we fill them with shrimp and lay a piece of bacon over them or stuff them with Dusty Here is a link that might be useful : iron desert dvdgzmn If you want to roast a lot of them , use the broiler . If you want to roast just 4 - 6 and have a gas stove you can use a diffuser .

Do n ' t turn them too often . You want them to char , not cook evenly . Not so good for juicy items like tomatoes and tomatillos . Use the broiler . megan_anne Habaneros are excellent roasted , as well . I like to wrap de - seeded and deveined habbies or other peppers up in foil with or without " grill seasoning " and pop them out on the grill with my meat ( especially chicken ) . I roast them for just long enough for the peppers to be tender . Believe it or not , almost - ripe green habs that have a blush or streaks of red or orange are SIMPLY DELICIOUS like this . The heat is still there , but roasting seems to let the heat " smoulder " subtly at first so that you can actually taste the pepper before the fireworks start . And surprisingly , hickory wood smoke complements habs very nicely - - probably because it ' s somewhat sweet . Enjoy ! ClarkeT My favorite way is to ' pan roast ' them on stove top burner . A good old cast iron skillet works great for this . I have a wonderfully shaped oblong flat cast iron fajita skillet that I use . But a round flat or sided will work just as well .

I wish I new the answer . .the same happens to me every year . June 26 , 2006 torquill The answer is that it ' s not a disease . : ) I ' m not trying to be frustrating . . . but what you describe is what we refer to as BER , or Blossom End Rot . It ' s caused by a physiological problem , not a pathogen . So you do n ' t have to spray anything to get rid of it . You ' ll hear people say that BER is caused by a calcium deficiency , and suggest burying eggshells or spraying with epsom salts ; sprays are specifically sold to help . None of those work ( really , none do ) . The reason is that while it is caused by a lack of calcium , the problem is n ' t that the soil does n ' t have enough , it ' s that the plant ca n ' t get it to the end of the fruit for one reason or another . Spraying the fruits There are a few reasons why the plant ca n ' t transport enough calcium , but almost all of them are water - related . The most common is irregular watering - - the plant is going dry , or it ' s getting too much water followed by not enough . The second - most common reason is that the plants just are n ' t big enough to keep up yet - - it happens a lot early on , when the demand on the root system is really high and it just ca n ' t What to do ? Mulch , give them a little less water more often to even out moisture levels , and wait . Plants which are watered enough generally grow out of it , though varieties differ in how susceptible they are . Now that I ' ve typed out all of this ( I hate being terse even with frequently asked questions like this one ) you can find an entry on BER in the FAQ for the main Growing Tomatoes forum . - - Alison who has a little here too , with the nasty heatwave we had , but at least the BER greenies let me know when the undamaged ones will ripen . . . they ripen first because of the damage . When I see yellow on the ones with BER , I know the rest are only a few days behind . June 27 , 2006 tedp2 Dr . Carolyn Male listed one other thing that could cause BER . Too high acid content in the soil . I have twice fixed this problem by side dressing with one or two tablespoons of powdered lime . It takes about two weeks . Of course it might have stopped on it ' s own in that time . Lol Now I mix a little lime in the soil when I transplant the tomatos and had not had any BER for years until last year when we had an unusually wet May and June . The local agricultural extension service advises the farmers to broadcast 3 - 4 tons of lime per acre every three to four years . Get dolomitic lime if you can as it has magnesium as well as calcium June 28 , 2006 torquill Ah , missed that one . Acid soil is a totally foreign concept to a California gardener . : ) Thanks for picking that one up . Lots of people think it ' s the calcium in the lime doing the trick , but low pH can indeed bind the available calcium so hard in the soil that it ca n ' t move . Anything you can do to correct the pH will help in that case . - - Alison June 28 , 2006 ezbnme40 I ' m in Oklahoma and the brown spots are near the stem not the bottom is this ebr ?

The larger farmers markets are also stocked with citrus - - grapefruits , tiny round limes , sweet mandarin oranges , regular sweet juice oranges , and sour oranges that Cubans use to make their ' ' mojos ' ' ( MOH - johs ) - - a marinade with onions , garlic and spices for poultry and meats . Most popular of all fruits here seems to be the popular brown - skinned mamey ( mah - MEYH ) , whose bright orange pulp is sometimes eaten for gastrointestinal ailments . Also popular are the tiny mamoncillos ( mah - monh - SEE - yohs ) , which at first glance look like small limes . Cuban kids love to crack open the hard green shell like an egg to get at the orange pulp inside . Less common is the brown nispero ( NEES - peh - roh ) , known in some other Latin countries as a zapote negro ( zah - POH - teh neh - GROH ) . More unusual still is the light - green cherimoya ( cher - ee - MOY - yah ) , whose skin is covered with flat , rounded bumps that look like overlapping petals . The cherimoya is also known in English as a custard apple for the custard - like texture of its white pulp . Related to the cherimoya is the guanabana ( guah - NAH - bah - nah ) , or soursop in English , whose light - green skin is covered in spikes instead of petals . Although more commonly grown in drier climes , small pomegranates are occasionally seen in Cuban markets . Known here as granadas ( grah - NAH - dahs ) , they have scores of seeds that look like bright red jewels and can stain a kid ' s face and clothes within seconds after being popped out of the papery white pulp inside . Also sold in markets , but seemingly unknown to many Cubans , is the yellowish - green star fruit known in other parts of Latin America as the carambola ( cahr - ahm - BOH - lah ) and here is called a ciruela china ( sehr - WEAH - lah ) or Chinese plum . Other exotic Cubans include the round , super sweet reddish - purple caimito ( kahi - MEE - toh ) , which some English speakers call a star apple .

I would get 2 or 3 big pots and plant the vines in there . My only concern with drilling holes in concrete and sticking the plants in there is that there is no possibility for the roots to grow and spread and there would be no drainage . . . Like Save June 20 , 2005 Ron_B The bigger the better , using spacing recommended for creeping fig planted in open ground . This plant will definitely cover masonry , even growing upside down ( on a ceiling ) . Like Save June 20 , 2005 watergrass I just want to add a note of caution if you decide to go with the creeping fig - this plant is a monster ! One year , I planted 3 vines along a 5 ' high by 60 ' wide wall , in about 2 seasons , they managed to cover my entire wall , turned the corner to the adjacent wall , AND they jumped over to completely cover my neighbor side of the wall , too . Nothing can beat the look of a creeping fig covered wall , but unless you plan to trim it regularly June 21 , 2005 vinelover Mine must be a slow grower then , lol . Its been in the ground 3 + years and has just begun to make a move . 2 Likes June 21 , 2005 thebigsee I planted creeping fig on my cinderblock walls - - it was strange as it started to grow but never would grab onto the wall and would fall down - - then , about 3 years in , it started grabbing and has covered about 60 % of my original plan . It is growing vigorously now but not kudzu - like - - I ' m in L.A. so it gets limited water . If I was in someplace where it rains alot , I can only imagine how fast they could grow . Question - - does this plant form from cuttings easily ? I ' d like to plant it in another area and thought I ' d give it a shot . . . 1 Like June 26 , 2005 jeanneckelly I ' m in LA as well and my creeping fig wo n ' t attach either . Does anyone have any advice on coercing it to attach itself and / or how to realistically keep it up until it does grab hold on it ' s own .

My father and I have been messing around with Creeping Fig Vines for about 8yrs . Here are a few FAQs that might help people out . Here in California things like block walls get VERY hot this does n ' t entice the vine to cling , also the lye in the masonry repels the roots / vine . So that might be why some have had successes with constantly watering their block walls down , keeping it cool and washing that chalky white layer January 19 , 2009 cactusgardener I have a question : I planted creeping fig on block wall fence about 7 yrs . ago and it grew like Topsy ; now this summer it just died ! Will it come back or should I chop the dead stuff down and start all over ? I live in Tucson and baby , it ' s hot this summer !

At the rear of our property we have woods . It is full of poison ivy . So , every time I mow the lawn , I am coming in contact with the stuff . Several weeks ago I became very ill - - lost my voice and ended up with a very nasty deep chest cough - - and the only thing I can figure is that I inhaled pioson ivy when I mowed . I am just wanting to kill the poison ivy at the edge of the woods . By the way , thank you , Thank you , THANK YOU ! ! ! to the person who suggested using hot water on the poison ivy rash . It works ! ! ! My second and third rashes were not nearly as bad and cleared up much sooner than the first . Do n ' t ask me how I keep getting it .

What ever you do never ever use a power tool to cut poison ivy vines . You ' ll instantly splatter the juice and oils all over the surrounding area and you . There is also the possiblity of raising a mist of juice in the air . If you inhale it you ' ll more than likely end up in the hospital . Same goes for any smoke from the burning vines . If you must cut it then use something low - tech and low - impact . Use long shears , tree limb shears , or other levering cutter . Cut slowly on any vine over 1 / 4th an inch . You should really go to the link I posted just above your post : http : / / www . poison - ivy . org / It tells all about PI and has stories from other people . There are also picuters of different looking poison ivy plants and pictures of what happens when people allergic to it come into contact with it . Remember , if you are not allergic to it and do not get the rash , your frineds and loved ones might .

I , like many of the posters , have a number of locust trees here in central VA with forearm - thick poison ivy vines growing 15 - 30 feet up them . I am planning on taking action against them using a low - impact method and taking all the necessary precautions . The question , however , is this : Once I deal with the vines by cutting them , can I use the above - mentioned products ( like Round Thanks in advance !

Young box elder seedlings and shoots look a lot like poison ivy . The leaf form is almost identical . However box elder has 3 - leaflet sets opposite each other on the stem unlike poison ivy . A lot of poison ivy has reddish stems . regular , not ultra , Palmolive dish soap is very good to remove poison ivy , and it is n ' t as hard on the skin as Fels Naptha . I use Palmolive dishsoap diluted in water to clean my garden tools , followed by an oiling if needed . May 31 , 2006 plymplan We have been battling several acres of poison ivy here in New Hampshire for the past 5 years . We discovered that mowing does not do much if you only cut several times a year . Our goats help somewhat but they are browsers and are anything but thorough . We do n ' t believe in using chemicals so that option is out of the question . What has worked is hand pulling and intensive grazing . Root systems in certain areas seem to pull up easily and in no time we had mountains of roots drying in the sun . What little that does grow back can be easily pulled the next time round . In our pasture areas , putting lots of animals on a small space and allowing them to graze it down to putting green length has worked wonders . We got a new horse last spring who seems to enjoy eating poison ivy and would happily clean up whatever anyone else left behind . After just one summer , huge areas of persistent PI have vanished and only grass has returned this year . June 23 , 2006 benjo_ma I recently began helping a friend ' s mother reclaim her ~ 1 acre yard in southeast MA after many years of neglect after her divorce . I ' ve battled the dreaded PI for 2 summers , only about 4 times per summer and have had quite a bit of success . The Ivy was coming in from the neighbor ' s yard which is home to dozens of 5 - 8 " thick hairy monsters climbing 40 ' into unsuspecting trees and even up their garage . It was easy to track how it all spread , and the surrounding woods and stone walls are just smothered in the stuff . The first thing I did last year was suit up and saw through the neighbor ' s vines that were overhanging the yard , spreading thousands of berries annually . Some areas in the yard had vines growing up oak http : / / www . roundup . com / index . cfm / event / ProductGuide . product / documentId / c05f89183aca85e98c0310c4f823da48 with good / great results , and have since switched to their poison ivy killer which has 2 % Triclopyr ( what ' s in brush b gone ) and 18 % Glyphosate ( regular roundup ) : http : / / www . roundup . com / index . cfm / event / ProductGuide . product / documentId / 1c47822e380daf9bbdb20570cf00d81b which does a little better job on larger woodier runners . I would probably have used Brush B Gone , but I never happened upon it at stores , and the less potent products were working quite well . I used almost double the potency suggested for the super concentrate , and found it worked quite a bit better than regular dilution . I should note that these both claim " rainproof in 30 minutes " , and this seems to be nearly true . I had it rain pretty hard about 45 minutes after I finished spraying , and everything I sprayed that day still died in 2 weeks . There is still work involved in collecting the dead branches off of trees and a shed , and we ' re throwing down a good 4 " of loam over most of the areas previously covered by low runners to avoid bagging a half acre of dead PI , but I have not had one itch due to PI ( although many due to mosquito bites while out in the yard ) . I ' m confident I can teach my friend ' s mother to spray any new plants , and I can assure her she wo n ' Anyway , the PI problem is under control now , but will never really disappear from that yard until new neighbors appear and all the surrounding woodland is transformed into suburbia . I ' ll take the PI any day . June 28 , 2006 mikimo What do I do after I spray PI with Round Up ? When is it safe for people to walk through or play in the area ? I do n ' t know if I ' m allergic or not but my husband and at least one of my five children are . I afraid to let my children ( all under nine ) go near the trees in our yard until I know it ' s safe . I ' ve been spraying over the past month and most of the leaves are brown . July 16 , 2006 jdinnh After a childhood of seemingly being ammune to PI - - we used to walk through patches of it at my grandparents cottage in Northern Ontario - - I have had repeated brushes with it the last couple of summers in Southern NH . There ' s about a 10 - 15 wide by 50 - 60 foot long patch of it immediately behind ( which used to extend onto ) my yard . Apparently , we must also have the vine and / or bush varieties around here too , as 2 of the cases I have gotten over The Rhuli gel someone spoke about above - - rebranded by J&J as Oak & Ivy Calagel - - will work to dry your rash out . But it did n ' t seem to do much for the itch . Two things that have successfully kept the itch down are ( 1 ) an antihistamine every 6 - 8 hours & ( 2 ) Gold Bond Extra Strength lotion - - in the green bottle , about $ 7 at Wal - Mart for a 14 oz pump . A healty application of the lotion will soothe the itch My experience seems to suggest that washing with dishsoap after you come in is also helpful . I always scrub my hands and forearms with dishsoap and a nail cleaning brush when I come in from doing anything in the garden . None of my PI rash has been below the elbows . What I am wondering , though , is whether you can use " plant warfare " as a long - term solution ? In effect , crowd out the plants by introducing something else ( the same way purple loostrife takes over in marshes ) ? ? The area with the PI is n ' t on my property , so I ' m not about to go plant and maintain grass there , or put a lot of time and money into spraying it to oblivion . So I ' m interested in some other low / no - For instnace , daylillies grow and multiply very well here . A couple of rhyzomes can grow into a dense ball of fibrous roots in just a couple of years . Based on the transplanting I ' ve done ( I ' ve harvested all of my lily plants from the side of the road ! ) , they seem tough as nails and will grow ( though not flower , or flower as much ) in full shade and a wide variety of soil & moiture conditions . But would they outcompete the PI ? ? ? ? September 15 , 2006 stcroix Hello everyone ! This has been a goldmine of information . I ' ve been taking notes on what to do to protect us and kill the poison ivy from our yard . My husband has had several cases of p.i. outbreak since his initial one several years ago and on the last one he had driven his riding lawnmower too close to our fig trees and scratched his arm pretty bad . To our surprise he developed a severe case of poison ivy from that ! We found out that fig tree is in the same family or related somehow . We Paula October 31 , 2006 jupie47 we have poison oak , which is similar . i ' m from minnesota , though , and we had it there in abundance . i work outdoors , doing restoration of native habitat , and come into contact nearly daily with poison oak . here ' s my advice : 1 ) when exposed , use Technu ( hardware stores usually sell it ) to removal the oils , but this must be done within one hour of exposure because the oils soak into the dermal layer ( below the outer surface of your skin ) by then , and you ' ll get the rash regardless of how well you scrub . follow the directions ( apply soap to skin before water , etc . ) . i usually do it twice . the forearms are very absorbent and you can get a case systemically because of all the 2 ) foliar application of roundup to PO ( poison oak ) does n ' t usually have 100 % efficacy because it ' burns ' the leaves without translocation into the root / stem tissue well enough to kill the plant . i recommend using a cut - stump application ( cut the stem , then paint on the chemical immediately ) . MAKE SURE YOU WEAR NITRILE GLOVES . latex does n ' t provide a sufficient barrier for herbicides . the label will tell you what " personal protective equipment " is necessary . there are other * NOTE : the formulation available commercially is much stronger than roundup pro , so i recommend looking up the MSDS / label on the web and reading the entire thing . you should know what you ' re spreading in the environment , especially if you have wildlife or water nearby . a dilution may be necessary , and the label will give directions by species ( or call the toll - free info number and ask them ) . * November 29 , 2006 papasmithnc It has been mentioned a couple of times by others with no response so let me try it again . For small patches of poison Ivy , just cover it up with a large tarp . Even posion ivy can not live without light . Round up works as well as the often mentioned brush killer but , it must be made into a stronger concentration . If you buy the super concentrated formulation in the larger sizes , a gallon or more , it is much cheaper than the brush killer . Try putting full strength Round Up immediately December 15 , 2006 nywoodsman The insidious poison ivy vine sneaks up a tree . Oh , the humanity ! { { gwi : 1354137 } } January 25 , 2007 itchy_2007 Very informative thread - - I ' ve learned a lot . My specific question concerns the aerial PI vines , thick and hairy , that have attached to our tallest pines and go way up . I have a healthy respect for this nasty stuff and plan to kill it with triclopyr , then dig the roots ( although I am amazed at how the roots travel and branch out . This will be a long - term project ) , bag them , and take them to the dump . BUT HOW TO GET RID OF THE HAIRY Thanks , Itchy_2007 February 6 , 2007 paleo6 This is what I do and it works . I buy generic Round - Up ( glyphosate ) in 41 % concentrate ( that is the common agricultural pre - blend strength ) . You can buy it most often in 2.5ga containers at Farm stores ( TSC , Farm&Fleet , etc ) . With Monsanto ' s patent on glyphosate expired this chemical has dramatically come down in price . I would never buy " Round - Up " again at a Lowe ' s or Home Depot , WalMart , etc . Not when generic is so cheap . You may be able to find it this I add water to the 41 % glypho to achieve a 5 % concentration ( the booklet that comes with the container gives measures . I then spray all ground PI with this 5 % mix . I have also added a couple table - spoons per gallon of Tide non - sudsing detergent as a surfactant additive to help the plants absorb the spray . 5 % kills all ground cover PI within 10days to two weeks . . .quicker if done during real hot weather . A 4 % mix will do it too but not as effectively . For the long ropy vertical vines - - - - and I have plenty of them ( or HAD plenty ) - - - I use a long machete to sever the vine close to the base . I then used a small hand held commercial - grade sprayer to apply the pure glyphosate ( the 41 % concentrate ) to the cut stump . I do most of my vine PI work in mid to late July after the flowers have set . . . .and then right up to about October 1st . I then just leave the vines to rot off the tree . It takes about 3yrs . I have gotten a rash from these dead vines in the second year after the treatment . . . .but it seems to be mild dose . Sometimes with this ropy vine treatment I ' ll go back the following summer and give the base of the tree a quick spray of 5 With the ground cover PI I spray whenever the new leaves are bright green and glossy . Again , I try to pick a hot day . . . .as it appears to aid in the plant ' s absorption of the chemical . Your normal precautions when handling chemicals or PI apply : With the machete I button my collar & cuffs , wear good gloves , a bandana around my exposed neck , and keep a bottle of water in my back pocket for a quick wash in case a flying PI chip hits my face . And then as far as the rash : Yes , hot water is cheap & quick relief . But nothing works ( for me ) like Zanfel . PS . . . .for those folks who grasp the roots and pull them out by hand . . . . .well , good luck . I would n ' t try that on a bet . . .ever . The only contact I want with PI is at the end of the machete . February 21 , 2007 sheryl_ontario Swimming in a commercial chlorine pool work great to dry it up fast . I used to work at a pool and saw this all the time , as well as experiencing it myself . It ' s not just a dab as you would do with bleach on a cloth , when you go swimming you are in there foar at least 1 / 2 hour . March 4 , 2007 seamus2001 A friend told me that you could kill poison ivy plants by spraying them with a mixture of ivory liquid soap and water .

I was glad to see that part of the PI gone but he has I am like most of you here highly allergic to PI and i do get severe cases like tis yr i got it and then i got the hives with it also and it took about a month to get over it . That sure was no fun at all and expensive too going back and forth to the Dr . I wil have to say that i have used the BRUSH BE GONE FOR PI AND ROUND UP HERE and i can tell you that if you use it a couple of yrs in a row the PI gets use to it . I have been fighting this PI for a lot of yrs now . . .i use not to be allergic to it but had gotten my first case about 10 yrs ago or so and the dr told me that what happens is that our imune system changes when we get older and i have found that I am going to try some of the things i have read here to try and get rid of the PI on my property . . . . .BUT I SURE DO HOPE THAT SOMEONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT WE COULD BUY TO GET RID OF IT PERMANENTLY AFTER ONE SEASON .

After he got the shot the rash has gotten so much worse . Anyone know why ? He just put the medicated powder on it and he says that works better than the cream he got December 8 , 2007 hooper84_24_7 I have never had a rash b / c I have only seen the plant about 3 times until recently . I learned what it looked like in scouts , and have heard horror stories from my parents , so I have always stayed way clear of it , until recently while doing some long overdue yard work for my great aunt . My great Aunt has about 15 HUGE rose bushes in back of her house , growing up about 2 / 3 of the 3 story house , extending about 20 ft into the yard , about 8ft tall at the edge , and severely infested with Poisen Ivy . I do n ' t wish to kill the rose bushes but I will if I have to . . .A group of kids decided to pick flowers for their moms for the 4th of July , and ALL got bad rashes . If anybody has ANY advice to save the bushes but out the IVY , please let me know . . . .and thankyou all for your time July 10 , 2008 walkera Now that I am working on getting rid of my poison ivy , any suggestions on how to prevent my neighbor ' s PI from encroaching ? He ' s trying , too , but it does n ' t seem to be a committed effort . July 31 , 2008 melana3bear Poison Ivy is covering my fence line at my new home and I have three dogs who love to roll in it and rub against it and then against me . I do not want to have to be washing them down each and every time they come in from outside . But I am highly sensitive to all the poison plants so right now I am battling a rash that will not go away went to doctor and am now on the steroid pills and tropical cream treatment . My immune system has no defense over them any more , each outbreak last longer and is more severe and I do not want to be on steroids for the rest of my life . I read in the earlier posting where pureeing the Impatients plants except for the roots and boiling them and using it as a suave to help with get rid of the rash But has anyone tried this concoction as a way of eliminating the plants themselves ? What about pouring the concoction directly on the existing poison ivy plants to kill the bushes and vines has anyone tried this ? ? Do you think it would help eliminate the bushes and keep them from coming back ? I was also thinking about planting the Impatients next to my fence line where the poison Ivy is so that the Impatients take over that area , do you think it would coke out the ivy prevent them from coming back ? ? Has anyone tried this ? I am thinking of sacrificing some Impatients tonight if I can find some , my friend also suggested just pouring boiling water on the plants to kill them might try that too . Thinking outside the box here and need some old time remedies and solutions , I dont do the chemicals around my animals if I can help it . August 25 , 2008 yard_master Use the new Round Up Poison Ivy spray . .It works . I have ivy all around my house and have used the Round up . It killed the plant and killed the other ivy plants that are connected . .This spray has been a god send . May 21 , 2009 jannettewilliams I think that anyone who pulls poison ivy with their bare hands or even gloved hands and advises others to do the same thing is not very sensitive to poison ivy . I have a poison ivy root growing in my favorite lettuce bed and will have to find another place to plant lettuce or kill the root because I have now gotten a rash twice from planting lettuce there both times . Someone has asked what to do with the hairy vines that grow up the trees . Others have described elaborate and expensive plans to rid many acres April 25 , 2010 mertsie I have personally found Round Up to be of no big help . The poision ivy just keeps coming back . The BEST course of action I have taken that has worked wonders is using a garden rake - with about 4 metal tines ? I take it and rake near the poision ivy in all directions around it . This inevitably pulls up the vine that is connected and running on the surface of the ground but is hidden from my sight by grass / weeds . I keep pulling ! This usually takes me to another poision ivy The stuff on my property has all grown in this manner , and if yours is similar you should have luck with this technique . Only AFTER pulling up the roots ( I wrap them around the rake while pulling ) , I spray them with round up and bag them in a garbage bag . DO N ' T burn them ! It spread the oil in the air and is dangerous . Good luck ! April 26 , 2010 brandon7 TN_zone Mertsie , I ' ve had excellent results getting rid of poison ivy with RoundUp . The generic glyphosate is much less expensive if you have to tackle a large area . If RoundUp did n ' t work for you , I ' d guess that either your mixture was too weak ( never use the premixed , ready - to - spray stuff recommended for easy - to - kill grass ) or your RoundUp was bad ( old , contaminated by dirty mixing water , etc ) . Also , time of year can make some difference . My April 26 , 2010 charles_2010_2010 For those of you who do n ' t know , poison ivy can be transmitted to the skin via air , ( wind ) smoke , and probably in other ways . You do not have to touch it to get a good dose of it . I have it in my woods too , and found that Round - up will work to kill it out , but you have to give it about three good doses . I also found out that when I have touched the plant , or otherwise come in contact with it , May 16 , 2010 brandon7 TN_zone I ' d suggest at least taking a good shower before getting into the hottub . I ' ve hard of people spreading the urushiol in the tub . I can just imagine introducing it into a hottub and then having a family member jump in and get it on them . I have no idea if / how chlorine would break up the urushiol , but it would n ' t " kill " it . Urushiol is an oil and is n ' t alive . Maybe the chlorine could provide some " degreasing " effect ; I May 17 , 2010 aiannar974 has anyone had success in choking poison ivy out with plants like horseradish ? Anthony June 10 , 2010 glenda1230 years ago we were told to use water softener salt on an area that had poison ivy , we figured why not because we had tried every thing else . We poured a whole bag of salt around a lilic tree stump and it killed the PI and it never came back . June 24 , 2010 lycopus Put a whole bag of salt on any plant and it will kill it but you wo n ' t be able to grow anything else in that area . June 27 , 2010 heather33 Hi Everyone , what a great thread ! Here are my questions I am hoping someone ( s ) will help to answer : * We have a few vines of PI in a few different areas of the yard . Once I spray with Round Up Concentrate and all is dreid up - what is the best way to remove ? * If the dogs happen to run against it - how long does it stay " alive " on their coat ? * Our yard is mostly weeds - once the vines / plants are dried and removed , is it smart to plant some grass seed in attempt to not allow the PI return ? * We have vines of Virginia Creeper growing through the yard which I heard is most likely to contain PI as well . Open to suggestions on controling this so we can enjoy our new space ! * With the vines on the trees - if not removed and allowed to rot , does the oil die ? Or is it more dangerous to being disturbed and spread ? Look forward to your replies - thanks so much ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! June 30 , 2010 enduring Way late to post , but I have heard that the oil in poison ivy can take a couple of years to break down . Virginia creeper is a different plant , and not poisonous . It just likes the same growing conditions as PI so people confuse the two , to my knowledge . June 27 , 2013 Mossonarock I have had excellent results getting rid of poison ivy by using Triclopyr . Its sold under several brand names and is available in bigbox stores . I do n ' t spray it . Spraying risks killing the neighbor plants or the trees near the poison ivy . Instead , I pour a bit into a glass and paint a bit onto a few leaves . The plant absorbs it and circulates it through the whole plant including the roots . A week or two later and its dead . Its tedious but effective and beats trying to uproot July 12 , 2013 littlebeemama We are closing on a new house in mid - August . Being a gardening newbie , I did not realize until recently that the backyard is completely overgrown with poison ivy . Our backyard is about 0.6 acres of land ( so very small compared to others on this site ) . But I have 2 curious preschool - aged children who love exploring in the woods and picking random leaves . I ' m terrified of letting them loose in the new yard . What am I realistically looking at ? I know I will have missed the window to treat during the spring growing season . How does one permanently remove poison ivy ? My husband suggested that we cut the trees near the property , kill the PIT with round up , and then roll grass sod over the area . For the rest of the yard , he suggested putting down landscape fabric and mulch . Will this work ? I ' m kind of bummed at this solution , since I had envisioned growing a woodland garden filled with fun native plants . But the safety of my young ones come first ! Thanks so much ! July 19 , 2013 Monica Seybold Hello , I live along a creek in No . Cal . that runs into the county reservoir . We are in severe drought conditions . The creek dries as soon as rain stops . I have a long narrow 4 acres that completely parallel the creek 1 side & road the other . I have huge thickets of wild blackberry & massive amts . of poison oak & stinging nettle . 10 yrs . ago I had goats ; otherwise I have left it all alone so wildlife has refuse . Now medically unemployable & have become more interested in hurgenkulture March 19 , 2015 wisconsitom Moni , I just yesterday read about " hurgenkulture " . I must say , an interesting set of ideas and one near and dear to things I ' ve done in the past - not knowing they had such a name and backlog of info ! Best of luck with your venture . + oM March 20 , 2015 romeisburning Let me testify that poison ivy can turn on you with a vengeance . I went from no reaction at all to a major allergic reaction the next year . It is so bad that it leaves scars . Now let me pass on some advice that a very mature seasoned lady gardener passed on to me . When you come in from gardening immediately strip in front of the washer and throw in everything and wash it in hot water . Immediately climb into a bathtub of warm water with 2 cups of Clorox in it and soak . She never has poison ivy , chigger bites , ticks or any other skin nuisances . For what it ' s worth . May 15 , 2015 romeisburning Oh , and whatever you do do n ' t gather it up and burn it ! My brother did that and his allergic wife went out to talk to him and inhaled the smoke . She nearly died . She was in the hospital for over a month . Proceed with great caution around that evil stuff . May 15 , 2015 PRO Jessica Goehler Tehcnu Rash Relief spray is the cat ' s meow ! ! ! It will numb the area then dry it out . Wash immediately after contact with the plant with the technu scrub . Once you have it the scrub does n ' t help as much but the spray is a miracle worker ! ! September 2 , 2015 weworkshop Anyone know if using lime to alter the ph will do - in poison ivy ? I do n ' t have any to try it on but some of our public recreational lands need major help so I am looking for alternatives . January 12 , 2016 Helpful Hint # 1 - Never gather poison ivy cuttings into a pile and burn it and inhale the smoke . My sister in law went out as my brother was burning it and breathed in the smoke . She was in intensive care for several weeks . Helpful Hint # 2 - My mother got rid of a large patch of PI using this method . She filled several large soup cans with Round Up . Then she would find the end of a PI vine and stick it down into the roundup and weigh it down with something to keep it in the can . It killed that particular vine all the way back to the roots . Everytime she saw green PI she would repeat this process until one day - Voila ! No poison ivy remained .

March 8 , 2016 wisconsitom The commonly - available herbicides , listed ad nauseum already in this thread , will easily kill poison ivy . People here talk as if it ' s some super plant , impervious to these chemicals . It is not . But as many people do n ' t bother to read pesticide labels , they ' re probably largely wasting their money and efforts , plus coming away with the erroneous idea that these chemicals " do n ' t work .

I ' ve read articles and books and still remain pretty clueless . The stems on my thyme and lavender have almost all gone woody . What I ' m unsure about is what this means exactly . Does it mean those stems have died and there wo n ' t Lavender Thyme Email Save Comment 16 Like Comments ( 16 ) floral_uk z . 8 / 9 SW UK Sad to say I think your Lavender is a goner , although there is a healthy looking bit bottom left . Is it in a container with something else ? It looks badly overwatered and sharing with another plant that needs more water would not do it any good . Your thyme also looks pretty rough - it seems to be etiolated which is a sign of insufficient light . It too looks as if it is possibly too wet . Thyme and lavender are shrubs so woodiness in itself is not unnatural but generally people clip them over to keep fresh new growth coming . Like Save August 18 , 2015 last modified : bardamu_gw Agree with Floral . That lavender is dentata , because it has teeth . . It likes it even hotter than your typical variety , and it requires warmer winters . Sometimes called french or spanish lavender . I call it Moroccan lavender ( why not ? ) . It could probably grow in sand . It will definitely root in moist sand . You could probably clip 5 inch pieces and stick them in a small pot of moist sand to give it a backup plan . last modified : jz Thanks ! We ' ve had close to 20 " of rain in a month so everything has definitely had it ' s fair share of water . Any way to save them once they ' ve become woody ? bardamu_gw Depends what you are saving them from . . . ( being woody ? ) I mean , once they ' ve become woody , they ' re done / no new growth ? August 19 , 2015 floral_uk z . 8 / 9 SW UK They are by no means done . In their natural habitat there ' s no one to trim them and that is what they do . They ' ll still produce new growth but aesthetically they may not look how you want . It ' s not the woodiness which is the problem . The lavender is basically dead or dying - at least the part on the right is . The thyme is alive but etiolated . August 19 , 2015 balloonflower Also , they are both woody plants - - it ' s completely normal and unavoidable . Lav , thyme , basil , oreg , savory , sage , rosemary - - they are woody stem plants and that will happen as they mature . I agree that the lavender is unfortunately a lost cause . The thyme is also showing signs of root rot - - the brown dead leaves , but it bounces back easier , so it ' s wait and see . Drainage is very important . There are several old threads on growing potted herbs that you might find useful in a search . Treat lavender as you would rosemary . Healthy potted herbs are difficult , but not impossible - you need to learn their needs . That said , though I grow most of mine in pots , As far as pruning woody herbs - - a good rule is to trim back by no more than a third at a time . The only real reasons to prune thyme , oreg , or lav is either for use , or for visual appearance - - unlike an herb such as basil , they do n ' t need the trim to force further growth , as they are bushy perennials . Thyme and oreg are pretty fast growers and you can be pretty rough on healthy plants - - if your goal is culinary use , then August 20 , 2015 I have about 30 lavenders in pots , they are the most trouble free plant I have in a pot besides succulents . You just have to give them what they need , which is n ' t much . . . . enough water enough sun and a good trim . I have lavenders in the ground , even easier . Woody lavender is avoidable . A well trimmed lavender will outlive a woody lavender . . . it ' s not just aesthetics . You do n ' t need to trim thyme like with lavender , because it spr e ads on its own withoughts need of help . Yours does n ' t look healthy . . it should be growing all season long sideways . August 20 , 2015 balloonflower I should have specified - - I do n ' t try to overwinter it indoors in pots due to the difficulty at that point , even though I ' ve learned to keep my rosemary happy . In pots and properly cared for outside I ' m sure would be different . It may survive winter if it was properly protected in it ' s pot , but last year I lost all of my plants that did n ' t come inside . But now , I have a new house that I can actually plant around . August 22 , 2015 gardengal48 ( PNW Z8 / 9 ) " Woody lavender is avoidable . A well trimmed lavender will outlive a woody lavender . . . it ' s not just aesthetics . " I ' m not sure I would agree with this : - ) Lavender is a sub - shrub and will develop a permanent woody framework , pruned or not . What routine or annual pruning will do is prevent the development of an excessively knotted or gnarly woody interior and the resultant splaying or fanning out of the branches , rather than the maintenance of a densely rounded , mounded form . Unpruned lavenders , while they display this somewhat unattractive appearance , can live just as long as a heavily pruned lavender can . And this is coming from someone who lives in the commercial lavender growing capital of the US : - ) August 24 , 2015 gardengal , I think that ' s a fair statement . I am not sure if a more productive and vigorous plant means longer life myself . It would seem intuitively so , but I do n ' t think anyone has left an unruly lavender to its own devices long enough to compare with a nearby trimmed plant . There are other variables though , like overwintering in colder climates - - extended branches means more exposure to the elements . Since only the green tips of the woody material can grow , the point of failure is far from the safety of the plant ' s roots . You probably already know since you live in the lavender growing capital of the US that commercial growers are going to trim their lavender to promote bushy foliage and spike productivity , and longer life " in the field " . August 26 , 2015 August 26 , 2015 Thanks , guys . Here ' s a photo of the herb garden from this morning . Back row : Basil , Lemongrass , Cilantro ( died ) , Sage Front row : Mint , Oregano , Thyme , Parsley ( died ) Oregano and Thyme In my first response I mentioned that the plants were showing etiolation ( sign of lack of light ) . Having seen the bed now it looks to be in quite a lot of shade . Not optimal for herbs . gardengal48 ( PNW Z8 / 9 ) bardamu - yes , the commercial fields are sheared twice a season . Once , somewhat lightly when the bloom season is over in early fall and again , a bit harder / tighter , in spring as the new growth commences . However , as a general rule , lavender is not generally considered very long term plants as far as maintaining a dense , mounded appearance is concerned . Plants in commercial fields are usually on a 3 - 5 year rotation for replacement . OTOH , I know of several unpruned , more or less neglected plants in home gardens that are approaching 20 years and while displaying a very unkempt , floppy appearance with a lot of very woody interiors , are perfectly healthy and bloom heavily , if not in a very attractive or appealing manner : - ) gardengal , I ' ve read that lavender typically lives to 15 years more or less , and you have a 20 year old woody lavender that is perfectly healthy with heavy blooms . Which is pretty amazing , correct ? but I ' m confused about your point . Would you say that this 20 year old lavender is an exceptional example and proof that trimming lavender makes no difference to longevity ? I get the impression that your insistence that unpruned lavender is not ' very attractive ' tries to explain an underlying confusion about the difference between health and aesthetics . Lavender farmers trim their plants to maximize health and vigour . The reason they only grow them for 3 - 5 years is because of disease and lack of crop rotation . You wrote that a dense , mounded appearance is not generally considered long term . But lavender crop rotation is not long term , only 3 - 5 years . In other words , trimming a farm lavender is unrelated to the monoculture ' weak soil ' issue . So how does your statement about trimming apply about long term health ? This is an interesting article : http : / / catherinegarro . com / 2014 / 08 / 28 / the - true - story - of - lavender - and - einkorn August 28 , 2015 August 28 , 2015 While I am truly loving the lavender side discussions , we have strayed a bit from the OP ' s issues , so hopefully we can do both . JZ - - first , where are you located ? It will help us a little in knowing what conditions you have . If you ' re going to stick with Houzz past these issues , adding it into your profile so it auto appears can be helpful . How big is the bed pictured , and what kind of sun does it receive ? Second , in addition to the light issues , your little garden has some others to address , but please do n ' t take this as discouraging . It ' s pretty small for the number of plants you have in it . Many think that herbs can always be grown small ( and you see pics of these adorable little windowsill or mini gardens ) , but reality is that most can get quite large and need their space . There are also those that need lots of water , and those that NEED drainage and can be Cilantro does n ' t like heat , or transplanting . Best to grow from seed . Parsley is similar , though it tolerates heat better . Mint spreads by underground runner roots and will eventually choke out all the other plants nearby . It can be tough to contain in - ground .

Below instructions how I ' ve done it : ( MAKE SURE THAT YOU BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY BEFORE APPLYING THOSE CHANGES ) • Using regedit to add the following keys ( right click on protocols - > new - > key - > " SSL 2.0 " then " SSL 3.0 " then " TLS 1.0 " ) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ SecurityProviders \ SCHANNEL \ Protocols \ SSL 2.0 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ SecurityProviders \ SCHANNEL \ Protocols \ SSL 3.0 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ SecurityProviders \ SCHANNEL \ Protocols \ TLS 1.0 • Under each of the keys above you need to create additional keys " Client " and " Server " For SSL 2.0 : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ SecurityProviders \ SCHANNEL \ Protocols \ SSL 2.0 \ Client HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ SecurityProviders \ SCHANNEL \ Protocols \ SSL 2.0 \ Server For SSL 3.0 : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ SecurityProviders \ SCHANNEL \ Protocols \ SSL 3.0 \ Client HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ SecurityProviders \ SCHANNEL \ Protocols \ SSL 3.0 \ Server For TLS 1.0 : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ SecurityProviders \ SCHANNEL \ Protocols \ TLS 1.0 \ Client HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ SecurityProviders \ SCHANNEL \ Protocols \ TLS 1.0 \ Server • Then you will have to create DWORD ( 32bit ) value called " Enabled " under each " Client " and " Server " key for " SSL 2.0 , SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 " DWORD ( 32bit ) Value Value name = Enabled Value date = 0 Value date can be set to " 1 " - Enabled or " 0 " – Disabled In my scenario the values were " enabled " ( set to 1 ) for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 and " disabled " ( set to 0 ) for SSL 2.0 • Next step is to add correct Ciphers , to do so you will have to navigate to the following key in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ SecurityProviders \ SCHANNEL \ Ciphers • ( right click on " Cliphers " New - > Key ) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ SecurityProviders \ SCHANNEL \ Ciphers \ RC2 128 / 128 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ SecurityProviders \ SCHANNEL \ Ciphers \ RC4 128 / 128 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ SecurityProviders \ SCHANNEL \ Ciphers \ Triple DES 168 / 168 • That ' s all ! Now you need to restart your server to apply those changes . • If you are using TMG 2010 or ISA 2006 to publish the website externally you will need to apply exactly the same settings to registry to it . Please accept my apologies for my English , but I hope I ' ve managed to help you guys . CQout Nov 23 , 2009 11 : 07 AM Thanks Pawel , I can report I have tried this on our server and your solution works . Thank you . Pawel Dolny 7 Posts Nov 25 , 2009 07 : 46 PM That ' s superb ! Thanks for leting me know . Kind Regards Pawel Dolny chrismarts Jan 13 , 2010 10 : 20 AM Is there an alternative to restarting the server ? Can IIS just be reycled ? Or some other service ( s ) ? Jan 13 , 2010 10 : 31 AM You can try " iisreset " from the command line but I ' m not sure if that ' s all you have to do . Regards Pawel Dolny Soylent Mar 02 , 2010 03 : 38 PM Hi Pawel , thanks for the excellent instructions . Is " Triple DES 168 / 168 " considered strong ? Can I just use the RC2 and RC4 ciphers or will I have issues ? Thanks ! Mar 04 , 2010 10 : 24 AM The Triple DES in not new on the market and is weaker than the AES and three time slower . Many security systems use both Triple DES and AES to make it more secure . AES is the default algorithm on most systems now . Triple DES will be kept around for compatibility reasons . In terms of RC2 and RC4 ciphers , The RC4 cipher is highly vulnerable only to a Bit - flipping attack if not implemented correctly . " The attack is especially dangerous when the attacker knows the format of the message . In such a situation , the attacker can turn it into a similar message but one in which some important information is altered . For example , a change in the destination address might alter the message route in a way that will force re - encryption with a weaker cipher , thus possibly making it easier for an attacker to decipher the message " - wikipedia With the above you will be ok for PCI compliance I hope that helps , Thanks Pawel Mar 04 , 2010 10 : 26 AM I ' ve never tried to use RC2 or RC4 only Pawel theboywonder 5 Posts May 19 , 2010 08 : 37 AM Thanks Pawel .

Do you mean this ?

I tested the SSL enumeration prior to adding the key ' s in the above solution , and afterwards , and the enumeration was identical . I susbequently removed all the extra keys , then added the disabled by default ' key , and that left all the other protocols as before , except sslv2 . 0 was now missing . ( As desired ) So in the case of : Windows Server 2008 64 bit R2 , i would say the only item needed to disable sslv2 . 0 is : REG ADD " HKLM \ System \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ SecurityProviders \ SChannel \ Protocols \ SSL 2.0 \ Server " / v DisabledByDefault / t REG_DWORD / d 1 / f Perhap ' s the other keys are needed for other versions of WIndows Server 200x .

Many Thanks , Marco opensvr Oct 31 , 2012 08 : 00 AM Clearly this is not the case as all these other people have probably like me spent hours of time fiddling with reg keys trying to disable it due to a failure against a compliancy test . Why MS can not simply tell us clearly what needs to be done is beyond me but it certainly is not disabled by default otherwise all these brand new deployments would have had to have it enabled first . How do you enable it ? That might also be useful information . kaushilz 84 Posts Nov 15 , 2012 01 : 35 AM This information is readily available . All you need to do is search .

The above KB provides a tool which disables the speciifc protocol version . All it does is add a registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ SecurityProviders \ SCHANNEL \ Protocols By default you would find only SSL 2.0 under protocols : Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ SecurityProviders \ SCHANNEL \ Protocols HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ SecurityProviders \ SCHANNEL \ Protocols \ SSL 2.0 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ SecurityProviders \ SCHANNEL \ Protocols \ SSL 2.0 \ Client " DisabledByDefault " = dword 00000001 If you want to disable it for the server node one then you can either use the above KB ( not sure if it would run on Windows Server 2008 R2 ) or create one or modify the above node .

The rules above I use them in such file . Also , I do n ' t think it works when run with Visual Studio , has to be against IIS7 itself . The rules seem ok , perhaps try using a domain name rather than an ip address ? Good luck Oct 22 , 2010 04 : 32 AM No Classic ASP does not use the webconfig so I guess the question is if it actually gets looked at at all when using the URL rewrite module on a classic asp application ? I can not imagine that using the domain name would make a difference , I did try it and still can not make it work . Anybody out there that could shine some light on the matter ? : ) dihola15 Oct 22 , 2010 05 : 02 AM My guess is no . . . Why do n ' t you use a third - party url rewrite tool such as http : / / www . isapirewrite . com / ? Oct 22 , 2010 05 : 46 AM Well I just need to redirect / jump to SSL so handling the 404 error with a jumptossl . asp page will do the trick for me and therefore no need for a third party component .

Add another 100 or so relatives who had come to see the ceremony . People started lining up outside the Fanuel Hall visitor center and there were some security staff on the doors . There were three long lines initially based on the color of the oath letter , white , orange and green . In my case , spouse and I had different colors of oath letters . The reporting time was 12 : 00 and the hudge was going to preside over the ceremony at 1 : 30 pm . Got in line at around 11 : 15 in somewhat milder weather but still cold at times . Waited pretty much until 12 : 00 to be let in . The relatives were let in first on the second floor of the Hall . Then people with white color oath letters , followed by orange and green . The security guards shouted some instructions while still outside the building not sure what he was saying something to do with phones and food not allowed . Or may be it was turn the phones off when inside . Whilte entering the first door ( main door to the building ) , I asked the security guard if it was ok to take the water bottle . He asked if there was coffee in it that might cause stains ( on the floor ? ) . On the actual enterence to the hall ( the place of ceremony ) , staff was looking at the form N - 445 and green card . Nobody looked at if the form N - 445 was filled up or not . The chairs had a packet sitting on each vacant chair and people pretty much sat in the order they entered the room . I was still waiting for spouse to enter so I asked one of the staff if we could sit together during hte ceremony , answer was no but we could sit on the end of the rows so we could be " next " to each other but not adjacent . .there was the pathway between us bu good enough to check up on things with each other . People were taking pictures , videos . The USCIS officer introduced himself on the mic and asked people to fill up the N - 445 form . Once that was done , people were asked to come forward to the tables setup in front of the room row by row . About 12 people in one row . When you get to the table , show them your form n - 445 and green card . They ask has anything changes since your interview ( meaning marriage / divorce , traffic tickets etc ) . They took the plastic green cards , put them in container and Judge arrived around 1 : 30 and clerk of the court announced that this place is now considered court and it ' s in sessions . Speech given by the judge , applicants were asked to stand and recite the oath after the clerk of the court . People who had requested name changes , thir reuquest was granted by oral motion . I do n ' t know if they were given any additional documents later . After the speech , judge left the building and applicants were asked to come to the table number scribbled on their form n - 445 and collect their naturalization certificates . There was no need to sign the certificates but applicants were asked to sign them when get home . The certificates were well protected and were in their own plastic thin sleeves in what looked like an office max binder .

I took pictures when I was filling up the form N - 445 .

It is really up to you to spend the time to look at their work and ask them specific questions . If you do not have a regular drywall co . that does your work then you need to do your homework in finding one . The choice of who to use needs to be based on a lot more than which way the level 5 is applied . Do n ' t let the size of a company fool you . Often the smaller co . is the more reliable and gives a higher quality product . If your needing help in determining how to pick out the best co . to meet your needs and standards than fire away with questions . If your not serious about finding the right co . and your really shopping for price than . . . . .oh well .

A good level 4 would be heaps better than a bad level 5 , surely . Ok , I ' ve never done a level 5 - and I ' m not trying to hijack Tom ' s thread - but is n ' t it just about equalizing paint ( or primer ) absorbtion , texture , and reflection of light ?

As far as I understand it is a spray on compound which is sandable . Hamilton has one which is called Prep Coat Plus . I do n ' t really know if it is the only manufacturer . Of course I www . hamiltonnw . com / FP_HamiltonPrepCoatPlus . asp Thanks again for your help . Tom Capt - sheetrock Location : NewBern NC 980 # 9 05 - 05 - 2007 , 02 : 06 PM Tom , , heres my take on this Level 4 is the way we have been doing it for years , but greadually , more cathedreal cielings have become the norm , also , " eggshell paint " ( really semi - gloss with a new name so owners and contractors do n ' t realize their getting semi - gloss ) has become epedemic . whats happens routinely is this , you get a good level 4 and then a thinned down primer coat , no sand before the paint is applied , and then the sun highlites the joints , more so at differant times of the day . At this point the drywallers and painters begin blameing eachother . Enter the level 5 , , sparying the wall ( or skimming it ) with mud , or a ready mixed level5 finish ( usually paint and mud mixed together ) is used . This creates the same texture on the field as on the joint ( just like a primer coat thats back - rolled , and then sanded before paint is applied will do ) So to sum it up , somewhere in the process , you have to create the same texture across the whole board for a finish that shows no joints , these are just some of the ways it is done . Personally , I spray all purpose mud just like paint for level5 finish , if a level5 is called for , If I do the drywall and the paint , I spray PVA with an airless after a level 4 finish , and back - roll it with a 1 / 2 " knapp roller , which creates the same finish albeit , with one less step . Maybe this is not the answer your looking for , good luck Capt - Sheetrock - - - Drywall Master of the Universe Craig D # 11 05 - 23 - 2007 , 10 : 56 PM Hi Taper . I could not understand . Are you prep coating over a full skim coat or just after taping and mudding the joints ? How is the prices in San Jose ? I am curious . | [

I measure between all newels then add one spindle diameter . I divide each of these measurements by the code spacing . Say it ' s 4.625 " I get a bunch of numbers like 17.34 and 28.72 and 8.64 I round those numbers . The 17.34 one I would go 16 , 17 , 18 and divide the measurement ( plus one spindle diameter ) between newels / walls by 16 , 17 , and 18 . That gives me three sets of spacing for each section of railing . I compare them all and pick the spacings that are the closest to the same for all the sets . I put the spacing into the memory of my calculator . Then I poke plus memory recall , plus memory recall , plus memory recall . Then I butt the tape to a newel , go out the spacing make a mark and that ' s the further edge of the spindle from the newell or wall . If they are curved as so many of mine were , I rip a bunch of thin , straight grained stlcks , cut them so they fit between newels etc . Mark which one goes where and do my measurements and layouts on them . If they want them the same as the handrail spindles , I just get the closest whole number to that spacing . All right ! All right ! Sometimes I cheat just a little bit . But only if somebody ' s being an @ $ $ * * * * .

Measure distance between newels / posts ( 55.125 " ) . Subtract 4 " and divide by 4 " + baluster width ( { 55.125 - 4 } / { 4 + 1.5 } = 9.295 ) . I round my quotient up and that number is the number of balusters ( 10 ) . Now , I multiply the number of balusters by their width ( 10 * 1.5 = 15 ) . This give me the amount of space that all of my balusters will occupy , which also tells how many inches I have for the space between the balusters . I divide this " space " by the number of balusters + one ( 40.125 / 11 = 3.648 ) . Now I know exactly where to place my first mark so I will end up with equal spaces . I then add the width of the balusters to my spacing ( 3.648 + 1.5 = 5.148 ) and store that in memory . The calculator I use has a function where I can repeat a function by just hitting the equal sign , so I just keep adding the total unit length ( 5.148 ) until I place the last baluster . Jon Blakemore www . RappahannockINC . com Trim Carp Jun 2005 Location : North East 283 # 4 09 - 26 - 2006 , 07 : 56 AM Jim , We do the marking on a scrap that fits between the posts on every layout : 1 . It allows us to make small ( less than a 1 / 16th ) for the spacing in the middle of the layout if they do n ' t come out exactly right . So we do n ' t have to erase and re - layout . 2 . we mark for the bottom of the spindles . Use a level to transfer the mark up to the rail at each end ( this gives us two referance points to make sure we are not making a mistake ) . Then we use the layout scrap in to mark off the rail . Since we have been doing this : the balusters are always parralel , always plumb , we can drill the rail on the flor before installing it on the post so there is no dust in out face and it is much easier to drill on the floor than up into the rail .

Just imagine a baluster buried on the edge of each post , and measure the OC distance between them . Keep dividing that number until you have your spacing right .

Which equals distance between posts plus one spindle diameter / width . Trim Carp We do the marking on a scrap that fits between the posts on every layout : Most of my guys did it this way as well . It is certainly an excellent way to do it . It also has the advantage that you can endo the ripping to check your layout , and use the ripping to layout directly onto the handrail by evening up the two ends in cases where newel base and cap are different widths . I personally did not do it this way because I never got a chance to get my sheet together enough to keep track of everything , since I had to stop all the time to talk to somebody or go bid another job . I checked my first and last mark with a tape then used a short stick with 4 or 5 centers marked to check the rest . I add the width of the balusters to my spacing ( 3.648 + 1.5 = 5.148 ) and store that in memory . Jon is doing the same thing as the rest of us as well . He just subtracts out the sum of all the spindle diameters in the beginning then adds them back in at the end , one to each spacing length . So basically , Greg , you have the same technique done in different orders . I would use separate layout sticks for each run if I did n ' t have to worry about the cleanup crews throwing them in the dumpster every time I left the job . Actually , when I was younger , and had a loud voice and a short temper , I think it was my own perverse crew who used to throw them out when I was gone just to have some good entertainment , on dull days , when I got back .

Divide that number by the sum of the code - allowed space between balusters , and the baluster ' s thickness at its thinnest point . Round that number up to next whole number . That ' s how many spaces you ' ll have . Divide the number of spaces into the distance between posts , including the baluster thickness , to get the spacing . Put that number in memory . Find the center - point between posts , and layout from there in both directions . If the number of spaces is ' even ' , the center - point will be a baluster ; If its ' odd ' , the center - point will be a space between balusters . In that case , divide your spacing dimension in half , and locate the two balusters on each side of the Recall the number from memory , and add it to the number in memory , then hit " = " . Just keep hitting " = " to get successive layout locations . Check yourself at the ends : the space between last baluster and post should be the same as between each baluster . If you are laying out on an incline , find the angle of inclination , enter that as ' pitch ' , enter your code - allowed spacing plus baluster thickness as ' run ' , then hit ' diag ' . You ' ll use this number to divide into the distance between posts , as measured on the incline . Hope that came out clear .

Augustine , Fl . 324 # 8 09 - 26 - 2006 , 08 : 31 PM I try to keep it as simple as possible , no calculator , it ' s only a little math . On a straight run like a balcony - measure the distance between posts , or post and rosete or wall - - add 1 " at each end ( posts are tapered and turned , generally smaller area is 1 " less then square or round base of post , and code calls for a 4 " sphere test , so you want baluster next to posts 1 " closer , and wall to balance layout visually ) - - say run is 98 " + the 2 " = 100 " - - Now if you ' re using ( that goes in rail ) is 5 / 8 " , so 1 / 2 of is 5 / 16 " - - so 5 / 16 " + 4 " + 5 / 16 " = 4 5 / 8 " max . ctr . to ctr . of balusters , I deduct 1 / 4 " ( layout safety factor ) , So max . layout is 4 3 / 8 " - - divide 100 " by 4.375 ( the guys that did n ' t get A ' s in H.S. math now is the If you have a curved balcony , I draw the ctr . of baluster run , then use a 1 / 4 " X 1 " rip about 5 - 6 ' long to step it out to measure run distance , then proceed as above . On something like a knee wall going up the stairs at rake angle , 4 " layout ( plumb ) = close to about 5 " up the rake . I take my pitch block and mark the 4 3 / 8 " as above and square a line to the angle cut , then measure to it down the angle , just a SWAG but it would be about 5 1 / 2 " - - that is your max . layout going up the rake . Again measure run and add the 1 " at each end and The harder parts come in generally with metal balusters . For instance , I had been doing stairs and railings at a resort home developement ( you know a 1 / 2 mill lot with a 1 / 2 mill trac home with a little gingerbread ) , the designer had speced on all the homes a layout of a - straight - twist - basket - twist - straight and continuing . He wanted all baluster runs to keep the pattern and start with a straight and end with a straight .

You have a formula and just use it . It ' s only seconds on a calculator . All you do is just use the thickness of the baluster . I use this every time . Multiply the number of balusters x the width of the balusters and subtract that from the measurement in between posts . Take that number and subtract it from the number of spaces and that ' s your answer . You know that your spacing will be one more than the amount of balusters . If you have 55 " in between posts and using 1 - 1 / 2 " balusters and pick 10 balusters , that would give you 11 spaces . 10x1 . 5 = 15 55 - 15 = 40 40 / 11 = 3.636364 " or 3 - 5 / 8 " This is a drawing I made using the spacing from a deck I did last year .

The baluster at the top is 5 / 8 " O.D . This is what I did with my Construction Master Calculator . Add the 5 / 8 " to 4 " and get 4 - 5 / 8 " and divide the width between posts by that number .

I ' ve been doing primarily interior remodels and decks , but as the business is growing , I ' m starting to get requests to bid siding jobs and additions . I have no interest in running a full - time production siding crew - I really only anticipate four or five siding jobs a year . So I ' m ready to invest in two nailers , and I ' d love some advice . I ' ve read through a whole bunch of threads here , and I ' ve read this week ' s version of Hardie ' s installation instruction , and as best I can tell , my options for blind - nailing are to use either a siding nailer or a roofing nailer . My take on it is that the siding nailer is really the right tool for the job . The problem is cost and availability . The only siding nailer available locally is about $ 150 more than a decent roofing run I can get all over town . I ' m a small business , and do n ' t have a big annual tool budget . Three hundred extra dollars seems a bit extravagant for tools I ' ll only use on a few jobs a year . And if the gun is hard to find , I worry The pros for the roofing nailer are then exactly the problems for the siding nailer - cost and availability . However , are coil roofing nails typically hot - dipped or electroplated ? Of course , I ' ll want hot - dipped . Another concern that I read in several threads is that roofing nailers can somtimes be a little underpowered for fiber cement . Finally , how about versatility ? Are there other applications for these tools that might affect my decision ? I ' ll most likely always sub out any actual roofing work , so the obvious use of the roofing gun is off the table . I ' d really appreciate any thoughts or advice . On a side note , WTF is up with Hardie ' s ever - changing installation instruction ? My partner and I drove all over town yesterday looking for siding nailers , and at the end of the day at the Orange Box , he pulled the instruction sheet off the Hardiplank display . It allowed for a 6d full - round head nail for blind - nailing . A nail our framing guns will shoot . I thought he was going to kill me . Heck , I was ready to kill myself . But I felt like I Tags : None gburnet Veteran Contributor Join Date : Jul 2004 Location : Western suburbs of Chicago Posts : 5553 # 2 08 - 12 - 2005 , 04 : 52 PM Re : Siding or Roofing Nailer for Hardiplank Where to start . . . We ' ve used both roofing & siding nailers for Hardi . You ' re right about making sure the roofing gun has enough power . We have an older Makita & a new Bostitch that are fine . Used a Hitachi once , & it would leave the nails proud a good 1 / 4 " My advice is to make sure you test before you buy . As far as other uses for the guns , we also use our roofing gun to nail off backer board & gypsum sheathing . We use our siding guns ( Bostitch & Makita , also ) for siding & exterior trim , sheathing , misc . deck parts ( railings , lattice , etc . ) , & the occasional fence ( usually an access repair , after we ' re done with the addition , or whatever larger project that neccessitated the removal of the fence ) . IMHO , you ca n ' t go wrong with a siding nailer . You can get stainless nails for it , use it on both wood & Hardi , & probably find other uses for it as well . The nails can sometimes be tough to find , but there are always online stores that carry them . Here are a few links . . . http : / / manasquanfasteners . com / http : / / www . stainless - fasteners . com / http : / / www . mcfeelys . com / nails . asp Oh , as far as nailing , any full round head nail is okay , IIRC . Just do n ' t use a clipped head gun . Greg Greg Brian Crisler Veteran Contributor Jul 2004 Location : Fayetteville , Georgia 346 # 3 08 - 12 - 2005 , 05 : 34 PM Re : Siding or Roofing Nailer for Hardiplank Let me suggest the Hitachi NV75AG . It is a coil gun that shoots nails from 1 3 / 4 " to 3 " . The gun uses standard 15 degree wire or plastic collated nails . It has enough power to drive nails thru the Hardi plank . If you use the gun , set the depth of drive adjustment . We use it for everyhting from framing to fascia to nailing subfloor . I hope this helps . Brian James Eggert Moderator Jun 2004 Location : Branford , CT 06405 3675 # 4 08 - 13 - 2005 , 10 : 42 AM OK , I ' m still biased to the MAXX cr5500 ? siding guns , never had to do anything to them for the last three+ years . I agree with Greg that you can and will use a siding gun for many things . Just be sure to have an adjustable depth of drive on whichever gun you buy so you can leave the compressor alone ! By the way , I would read every thread here about Hardi spacing because it has changed thru the years . I now install it " whisper tight " or just slightly close , hard to explain , but I do not caulk joints , period .

You can buy " Hardie " nails for some framing guns , HDG from Maze http : / / www . mazenails . com / catalog / sidingnails . htm They are plastic colated . A coil siding nailer will save you SO much time . If you ca n ' t amortize the cost of one of these tools maybe you are not charging enough for the work . Buy the coil nailer .

No jokes please . It ' s worked great . I had the same problem with a borrowed Hitachi roofer - left the nails proud .

Some questions for you : Do you really want to gear up to install Hardiplank ? Do you have the scaffold it takes to do the job in a reasonably safe and time efficient manner ? How are you going to cut the stuff ? Shears or a saw ? If a saw , what blade , or do I use both ? What about the dust ? What is the best caulk to use ? What trim at the corners ? What material are you siding over , wood , foam , or impregnated sheathing ? Just a few of the questions . There are a lot of people installing Hardi around my area . 99 % of the install around here is technically deficient as far as correct sound detailing goes There isnâ € ™ t a week that goes by that I donâ € ™ t get a couple of calls to come look at some job to see if â € œmy contractorâ € installed the siding right . I havenâ € ™ t found a â € œgood jobâ € yet . Most generally the problems are in the clearances , the nailing , the caulking , and the flashing . Right now I have three jobs lined up just to repair the siding details that someone else installed . I use the Hitachi NV75AG for siding and the NV65AH for soffit , â € œmost of the timeâ € I set the depth of drive to leave the nail aprox . 1 / 8â € proud , then tap set it home . This draws the siding up better than any method I have yet found . If you really are going to pursue this there really are a lot of posts here that we have discussed most of these issues .

The larger heads hold better and give me the wind rating I need for my area . I also have less rattling with the larger head . I use a Makaita siding nailer for all surface nails . It is nearly identical to the Hitachi . Mark is correct if you want to do this learn how to do it right . The other thing not mentioned in the posts is cement board siding dose not work well on crooked walls . So if you are siding on cornbread Jun 2005 Location : Southeast Tennessee 5 # 10 08 - 14 - 2005 , 07 : 27 PM Thanks for all the replies . I ' ve decided to go with the siding nailer . I can buy the same gun online for $ 375 that my local supplier wants almost $ 500 for . I know some of y ' all would give me a hard time for not buying from the local business , but the $ 250 saved on two guns is real money to me . Plus , shipping - even FedEx overnight - is cheaper than our ridiculous 9.25 % sales tax . Also , the local guy scared me off when he Originally posted by Cornbread Come on give us your first name , it seems kind of corny to call you cordbread . Fair enough , I ' m Ben , good to meet you . But some people actually do call me Cornbread - it ' s not that uncommon a nickname in the South . Yes , we ' re hillbillies . Some questions for you : Do you really want to gear up to install Hardiplank ? Yes . Because I know I ' ll take the time to learn and do it right . Then I do n ' t have to worry about a sub half - assing it . Do you have the scaffold it takes to do the job in a reasonably safe and time efficient manner ? Scaffold rents for dirt cheap around here - less than $ 1 / day per section . And I ' ll only do a few siding jobs a year , so there ' s really no need for me to buy it . How are you going to cut the stuff ? Shears or a saw ? If a saw , what blade , or do I use both ? What about the dust ? Outside with a circular saw with dust collection and Hardiblade . I just might even wear my respirator . What is the best caulk to use ? Per James Hardie , " a latex sealant that complies with either ASTM C834 or ASTM C920 ( Grade NS , Class 25 ) . " Is there something particularly difficult that I ' m missing ? Yes , I do know what ASTM standards are - I used to do geotechnical QA / QC consulting and a large part of my job was setting up soils testing labs to perform testing in accordance with ASTM standards . And no , I wo n ' t be caulking butt joints - that whole " moderate contact " thing . If What trim at the corners ? Harditrim . What material are you siding over , wood , foam , or impregnated sheathing ? On this job , plywood sheathing . I havenâ € ™ t found a â € œgood jobâ € yet . Most generally the problems are in the clearances , the nailing , the caulking , and the flashing . You can come check out my work when I ' m done . I appreciate your concerns , but I really have done my research and planning on the product and its proper installation . I may even try to get the local Hardi rep to come by my job . There ' s a lot of discussion about right and wrong ways to install Hardi , but I have n ' t seen much on the relative pros and cons of two right ways .

the 2nd owner swapped the original velvet ride suspension and spoke wheels for a Freightliner 4spring and aluminum Budd wheels Name on the truck here is PollockReading Temple PA and a recycling symbol

pressure 60psi warm seems to have plenty of power and sounds great One issue Ive found is that the fan runs constantly It has a Horton air clutch on the fan that is air engaged There is an electric solenoid that supplies air to the clutch and is activated by a temperature switch but also has a manual override in the cab This solenoid is apparently stuck open causing the fan to run whenever the truck has air pressure Im planning to replace the solenoid replumb the air supply and rewire Many of the gauges dont work either and the wiring under the dash is a nightmare So Ive got almost a dozen Isspro gauges on order for replacement and I hope to clean up the mess of wiring and make it easier to remove the dash for maintenance Theres about 3 switches on the dash that I cant identify what

easier way to go and help out in the tight spots Looking at the old photos of my truck it almost looks like there was some kind of power steering at one time Can anyone identify this item on the drag

I gave birth via c - section on March 2nd as a first time mom and I still have no milk . I have colostrum but am having to supplement with formula via a small little tube that is taped to my breast during each feeding . Thus , my breast is stimulated and she is getting what she needs for nourishment . I nurse her every 3 - 4 hours as that seems to be when she ' s hungry . I nurse on each breast for 15 minutes each . I ' m wondering how long it will take and / or how long do I wait before I throw in the towel ? Also , what can I do Thank you ! Any advice will help .

Do n ' t throw in the towel ! Sometimes it just takes a little ( or a lot ) longer for milk to come in , especially if there was any disruption in the course of birth . You ' re already well ahead of the game doing all your supplementing at the breast instead of in a bottle . Every 3 - 4 hours is not terribly frequent to be nursing . I ' m not sure how much of a to - do it is to nurse with an SNS , but it might help your milk come in faster if you could nurse every 2 hours or so . Maybe you would n ' t even need the SNS for every single feed , if she ' s not terribly hungry at some of them . My best friend ' s son was in the NICU for almost 2 weeks , and it took her 10 days of pumping round the clock to get her milk to come in , but it finally did , and she went on to nurse him with no difficulties .

First I want to understand why you think your milk has not " come in . " Many moms beleive they do not have enough milk when all is normal . Milk " coming in " is really just the transition from colustrum to more abundant milk , and it can be quite gradual and is not always a dramatic and obvious event . So please explain what is happening that makes you think all you are making is colustrum . Many things can cause low milk supply or prevent effective milk letdown . Is nursing painful ? Are you still on strong painkillers for the c - section ? Is there any possibility some of the placenta was left in you ? Is baby able to latch and nurse effectively ? Also I agree with pp . A newborn would typically nurse a minimum of 10 - 12 times in 24 hours and some nurse way more . Are you holding your baby lots and nursing on the earliest cues ? If you do not like using the lactation aid , try adding on some additional nursing sessions without the lactation aid and see what happens . If you were given a lactation aid I assume you had access to some lactation services . They need to be following up with you ( or you with them . ) If you indeed need to supplement , that is an issue that is not solved by using a lactation aid - or rather , the aid solves the immediate issue of baby getting enough , and its a very helpful tool as you avoid the pitfalls of bottles and yes , have stimulation at the breast . But what is being done to solve the milk supply issue Some info that may help : http : / / www . llli . org / docs / 00000000000 . . .astfeeding .pdf http : / / www . llli . org / docs / 00000000000 . . .eding _cues . pdf http : / / www . llli . org / docs / 00000000000 . . .py _newborn . pdf http : / / www . kellymom . com / bf / normal / newborn - nursing . html Last edited by @ llli * lllmeg ; March 11th , 2012 at 01 : 21 AM March 11th , 2012 , 02 : 28 AM # 4 @ llli * lovemygirlso1 Shares Widely And Frequently Nov 2011 435 My advice is to nurse more often . At least every 2 hours if not more . Also remember that colosturm is MUCH higher calorie than BM and only a very small amount needs to be consumed for baby to get as much as they need . Sometimes supplementing can delay the milk . Honestly , what I would say is to just nurse every single time baby acts hungry . Without the supplementer . Even if that ' s every 20 minutes . Nothing will help you produce more milk faster than nursing very very often .

I ' ll try to answer your questions to give you a better idea of what I ' m experiencing . - My baby weighed 7lb 10oz at birth on March 2nd . - I started breast feeding right away 15 minutes each side and it seemed like it was every 3 - 4 hours then . There was no mention by nursing staff that I should be doing it sooner . - My baby kept sucking on her hands and being fussy and it was recommended that I give a pacifier as it would n ' t be good to allow the baby to use my breast as a comfort measure if she was n ' t hungry . . . .which led me to believe that she needed to be " pacified " . - On March 4th my baby had lost nearly 10 % of her body weight and thus it was recommended I start supplementing . We started with 15 minutes breast feeding each side followed by formula from a bottle . .about 1 oz . - Baby tolerated that okay , but was n ' t the best with the bottle . . .seemed to have a lot of spit - up and / or was n ' t swallowing as well . At any rate , the next time I went to breast feed her she wanted nothing to do with my breast . I was a bit discouraged but nursing staff helped me with using a syringe to get the taste of milk in her mouth and then she would suck on my breast . However , once the taste of formula went - It was at this time when another nurse suggested the assist device and I ' ve been using that since . - Baby has latched great since the very beginning . - I last had narcotics last Wednesday and I take 800mg IBP as needed which usually is 1 - 2 times per day . - Nursing has n ' t been painful at all . I put the Medela lanolin on my nipples after each feeding . - Baby had her first pediatrician visit last visit and had gained back 3oz . - I do n ' t believe there is still any part of the placenta inside me . My bleeding slowed way down and have n ' t had cramping , etc . - I hold my baby a lot but did n ' t realize I needed to offer my breast with any little sign of hunger so I appreciate your advice on this . - I feel as though my milk has n ' t come in because when I self - express ( which is once in a great while just to see if anything is still coming out of my breast ) it is still clear and colostrum looking ; my breasts have not changed at all since giving birth ; I have n ' t had engorgement , heaviness , leaking , etc from my breasts . Essentially , aside from minimal soreness of my nipples that I ' ve had since I found out I was pregnant , my breasts - There was n ' t a lactation consultant at the hospital where I delivered . . . .unfortunately . . . .so I had to rely on the nursing staff to give me advice , etc . If there is other advice you can offer me now I would appreciate that too . I ' m am trying today to nurse her at every sign of hunger and we ' ll see what happens . It ' s hard for me to stay dedicated to breast feeding at this point . 02 : 38 PM # 6 @ llli * aprilsmagic Queen of LLLactation Nation Mar 2006 10,429 . I think what is happening to you is what happened , to sme extent , with my first . That pacifier . My own mother suggested I use it because he was nursing every hour . And little did I know , that is normal . Fortunately , I had already been given advice to pump after every feeding , and I naturally tend to OS and OALD , so he gained OK . But if I was normal in production , that pacifier can derail breastfeeding because baby needs to suck at the breast to bring in your milk fully . A few thoughts I have : Nurse more . Yes , wake the baby . Dream feed . Nurse more . Feed with the SNS . Start at the breast , give a bottle , then always end at the breast . Spend 3 days doing nothing but watching wets and loops and nursing . You can come back . I fought nipple confusion / preference with my oldest child for 8 weeks before he stopped fighting me at every feeding . And then I nursed that baby for 2 years You can overcome . Meanwhile , pitch the pacifier and hold off on the bottles . The pump still has a place ; try pumping after baby nurses , and try pumping one side while nursing the other .

I was never told to pump after every feeding so I never have . I rented a hospital grade medela pump and have had it at home since the day I was discharged from the hospital . I just got it out and pumped in the last half hour and low and behold I got some milk out . I got probably a 1 / 2 oz from my right breast and less than that from my left . It did give me some hope ! I ' m sure that ' s not enough to keep baby satisfied . I will definitely use your suggestions . Thanks again ! 07 : 02 PM # 8 EDIT : Whoops ! I was writing this long post and did not see that you are now pumping and saw milk . Well , your milk has finally come in ! Congratulations ! Normal output for one pumping session at this point if a mom is also nursing would be about 1 / 2 ounce to 2 ounces total . So , you are looking really good , imo . So , some of what I have posted below may be too cautious . You may be able to reduce the supplementing much faster than I was thinking . - My baby weighed 7lb 10oz at birth on March 2nd . - I started breast feeding right away 15 minutes each side and it seemed like it was every 3 - 4 hours then . There was no mention by nursing staff that I should be doing it sooner . - My baby kept sucking on her hands and being fussy and it was recommended that I give a pacifier as it would n ' t be good to allow the baby to use my breast as a comfort measure if she was n ' t hungry . . . .which led me to believe that she needed to be " pacified " . Agree with pp . The above sounds like a recipe for harming milk supply . I am so sorry you had such terrible advice in the hospital but by no means am I surprised . I am also not surprised your baby lost 10 % of birth weight , for one thing , some weight loss - up to about 10 % is often perfectly normal after birth , and in this case it looks like your baby was simply were not nursing enough . You should have been encouraged at that point to simply nurse more . A 10 OK , so now to fixing the problem : You say - I feel as though my milk has n ' t come in because when I self - express ( which is once in a great while just to see if anything is still coming out of my breast ) it is still clear and colostrum looking ; my breasts have not changed at all since giving birth ; I have n ' t had engorgement , heaviness , leaking , etc from my breasts . Essentially , aside from minimal soreness of my nipples that I ' ve had since I found out I was pregnant , my breasts Leaking means nothing , some people leak and others do not and it has nothing to do with supply . Engorgement means little and is something you want to avoid anyway , if possible . But your breasts would normally have some heavyness or change in feeling , usually sometime between day 2 and day 6 after birth . And its odd the milk is still " clear . " I do n ' t know what to make of that . One thing to know is that pumps are less effective than well nursing babies at extracting milk - I think its too early to know if this is just a milk supply issue brought about by nursing mismanagement in the early weeks , ( my guess ) or some type of physical condition that is preventing mature milk . If you can see a private lactation consultant for an appointment I would strongly encourage you do so . They should spend about 90 minutes with you and really help you get to the bottom of things . Get recommendations from local LLL , doctor , friends , the LC at the hospital , anyone , and call a couple to find one who can see you soon and who you feel comfortable with . It may be very helpful to do some before and after nursing weight checks to see what baby is actually getting at the breast without the lactation aid . You want to do more than one , as one The good - really , great news , is that you have kept baby nursing at the breast . This is vital , because the most important thing to do when trying to increase milk supply is to have baby nurse frequently . If you have a good pump and can add a few pumping sessions a day as well , do that , but DO NOT stress about what you are making and what is looks like . Just pump to give extra stimulation if baby wo n ' t nurse more . It would be great if baby Your goal will be to slowly decrease the supplements while nursing more . It may be hard to get baby to nurse more without first reducing the supplements . Moms in this situation are of course nervous about reducing supplements , but it is part of the process . This can be a tricky time and it is best to do this under the care of a lactation consultant or a breastfeeding knowledgeable and supportive pediatrician . Remember that many many moms struggle with low supply ( or suspected low supply ) in the early days and go on to nurse their babies just great . This is likely fixable , especially since this is such early days and hormonally your body will be working with you in increasing supply . It will take effort but I have never heard a mom say that effort was not worth it . Read these articles and use what you think will work for you .

understandingfeel for the two classes but as it currently stands I found both to be quite viable for solo play thus far If you have any counterargument to why you find knight the better option for

22 2018 I agree about priest being good solo the dps is a little slow but the survivability is great and you never need to use potions I assume end game solo with a priest will take a while but save a bunch of money on potions Mine is only 28 atm but I think I might try taking her to 50 and see how she handles the normal lvl 50 dungeons My knight is only 13 so he hasnt done any dungeons or grinding

you only truely solo until you hit the level 50 cap With that being said being a solo priest it will be a lot easier for you to find people to queue up with because priest is in such a high demand Knight is kinda the same but not as sought after The only bad thing about these two classes is that their dps is low compare to other dps classes Knight is really good at 1v1 I think they are the best class and I would put priest as top 3 for small scale pvp I know hardcore guilds are literally making priest alts so that their guild can progress faster soif I were you I would pick priest since it seem the most solo player friendly in terms of finding people to do end game content etc Conscious Maplestory 2 Rep 1235 Posts 77 Member 321PM July 22 2018 priest is the way to go imo they have attacks that damage and heal at the same time and are completely selfsufficient so you never have to worry about pot cooldown or not having enough spirit and theyre decent attackers too depending on

Raid Knight here Knight is not useless You block deadlyOHKO boss mechanics for your party endgame And to do so you have to STUDY the boss mechanics and have proper positioningtiming Im not kidding when I say people will LOVE you if you know what you are doing and can support the party properly Most people havent gotten to the point to realize this yet so right now they are underappreciated Damage isnt terrible Especially if you know how to play it and know mechanics Other classes can still be outdpsd if the knight is skilled It has good mobility and can easily dodge attacks You have Drill Thrust along with your regular stamina dash 3 dashes in a row And even some mobility while attacking Its easy tonot die In short its wellrounded and does its job Play it if you like the

depending on your skill tree so I think it fits what you are looking for more than a Priest Priests are fairly limited and even if you go full DPS I dont think itll be fun to solo PVE content and Priests in general are way more catered to party play Knights are also important in party play but its definitely reliant on your skill tree so you have a lot of flexibility Kind of going off topic but I feel like theres no such thing as SOLO endgame PVE content because a lot of the endgame content is going through the dungeons that are not possible to complete solo with the current items available in the game If you mean just to read max level and be able to do nondungeon related content why do you want to limit your choice between Knight and Priest Any of the other classes would fit you better if what you are looking for is a class thats catered to solo endgame PVE content Cylil Maplestory 2 Rep 1670 Posts 78 Member 1027AM July 23 2018 edited 1037AM July 23 2018 Oou wrote Kind of

charactersclasses and like to bog down and focus my timeeffort on a single class I know that GMS2 is still in its beta phase so a lot of it is subjugated to change As stated in my original post I am open to hearing other suggestions of other classes if you feel they suit better for what Im suggesting but the reason I ended up ultimately deciding between priest or knight is due to the fact of how I enjoyed their gameplay the most as well as filled the role I was looking for compared to the other classes that Ive tried thus far To clarify By solo endgame PvE I am just generalizing any sort of highlvl veteran PvE contentbe it dungeons raids or just map mobboss fighting as I am thinking longterm Im not personally concerned for being super strong in one role or being able to cleardo dungeons efficiently Instead I would more like to focus on a class that is able to handle PvE solo in general Back when I played Mabi I soloed a lot and though Ive had many players telling me I couldnt solo this or that I still managed to get by through either pacing myself building up gear or being more strategic Though once again I wish to clarify that Im not against playing with others I just as selfish as it may sound wish to have a character that is reliable on their own who doesnt need to depend on others in order to get things done Thanks again to everyone for continually adding to the

However on smaller services ( 400A and below ) - I dont usually see this being specified . It ' s not directly related to the amperage rating , it ' s about system coordination . In a coordinated protection system , you want a fault to be cleared at the closest point to the fault , not at a larger system level unless absolutely necessary . Since that concept moves up the line , the higher you get in the distribution system , the longer you need the upstream devices to hold in without tripping . So as you get up there , the trip settings need more adjustability beyond what you see in an off - L ong time , S hort time , I nstantaqneous and G round fault tripping . Because they are a lot more expensive , you do n ' t go there until you have to , so that explains why you usually do n ' t see them used until you get to higher current ratings . __________________________________________________ ____________________________ Many people are shocked when they discover I am not a good electrician . . . 10 : 09 PM # 3 templdl Senior Member Feb 2003 Wisconsin 4,354 In most cases LSIG is an option that makes it posible to coordinate breakers . LSIG , Long time , Short time , Instantaneous , and ground fault are options that are available in breakers that electronic trip units . Breaker frames that have interchangeable trip units commonly start out with 250a frames , 400a , 600 , 800 , 1200a etc . A 250a frame can have a trip unit that is available down to 75a - 250a , the 400a ( 70 - 400a ) , 600a ( 125 - 600 ) , 800 ( 400 - 800 ) , 1200 ( 400 - 1200 ) . LIG is fairly common where you would have a rating plug which rated the breaker a specific amp rating , and adjustable magnetic ( I ) , and ground fault pick - up ( G ) all which should be self explanatory . There is also an LSI option . The ( s ) for short time delay really does n ' t bring much to the party unless there is a party , that is if it is related to with breakers . The adjustable short - time allows the breaker to be coordinated with another breaker or breakers such that the breaker closest to the even is given the opportunity to trip and clear first . The ' I ' , is for adjustable short time pick up and delay with a pick up of 200 - 800 % as an example . After pick up then the delay can be set on some breakers up to 100ms while on larger breakers 100 - 500ms . Between the two adjustments it provides you with the capability to coordinate breakers . And likewise with ground fault , on smaller breakers the GF pick up range available can vary while on larger frames it can be from 25 - 100 % of the frame rating not to exceed 1200a . Then you have the delay which often is inst . to 500ms on the smaller frame to 100 - 500ms with larger frames . Just like the ( s ) you are given the ability to coordinate . Please note that the time delay is limited to 500ms because of the breaker ' s withstand capablity These options are expensive and should not be specified unless you have a reason . Having these options does n ' t make a breaker better .

So as you get up there , the trip settings need more adjustability beyond what you see in an off - L ong time , S hort time , I nstantaqneous and G round fault tripping . Because they are a lot more expensive , you do n ' t go there until you have to , so that explains why you usually do n ' t see them used until you get to higher current ratings . Thanks Jraef - well explained , now that think of it - makes more sense , because the available fault current varies depending on a number of factors ( utility , transformer etc . . ) - you would always want to do a co - ordination study especially if its large distribution system , the results of this study would then dictate the interrupting capacity / response characteristics of downstream electrical equipment , an electronic breaker gives you more flexibility . Just out of curiosity do you know how much it would cost if you hire someone to do a co - ordination study of say a medium sized distribution system ? 10 : 42 PM # 5 templdl Senior Member Feb 2003 Wisconsin 4,354 Thanks Jraef - well explained , now that think of it - makes more sense , because the available fault current varies depending on a number of factors ( utility , transformer etc . . ) - you would always want to do a co - ordination study especially if its large distribution system , the results of this study would then dictate the interrupting capacity / response characteristics of downstream electrical equipment , an electronic breaker gives you more flexibility . Just out of curiosity do you know how much it would cost if you hire someone to do a co - ordination study of say a medium sized distribution system ? Interrupting capacity has to do with the available fault current and nothing to do with LSIG . Getting a system coordination study can be of a benefit first to assure that the breakers are suitable for the available fault in different parts of the distribution system . The only thing that would come into play as far a kaic ratings and available fault current is series rated devices which again LSIG is not a relevant factor . The second thing is to consider coordination of the devices in order to isolate event to as far down in the distribution system as practical such that there are less possibilities to interrupt power to a large portion of the distribution system . That ' s where LSIG comes into play . 11 : 03 PM # 6 Interrupting capacity has to do with the available fault current and nothing to do with LSIG .

Wouldnt this mean that some downstream equipment would also require the LSIG option - making the system - overall more expensive ? Just interested to how coordination was achieved prior to the invention of LSIG breakers ? By nature of a higher ampacity breaker before a lower ampacity breaker there would be coordination if you look at the trip curves for thermal . It ' s the Inst . and GF that it could become a race as all breakers in series in that circuit would see the event . That ' s where the adjustable I and G are very helpful as one can not only assure that the pick - up of the upstream device is set max and adjust the delay at the lowest point which would give the down stream device a very As for older breaker with the common physical thermal magnetic elements the thermals coordinate by the time current curves . The instantaneous element looks good on paper but instantaneous is instantaneous and who knows how high and how fast fault current will rise to a point where the event will be to a point where the current will peak a where it can trip any of the breakers in series with the fault and then it becomes pot luck . Yes , I have been not very happy in a home where there is a fault in a branch circuit All to aften electrical evens are unpredictable at best and we only hope that they would be within our coordination plans . 03 - 27 - 12 , 11 : 44 AM # 8 brian john May 2003 Leesburg , VA 7,108 I would just like to know more about LSIG breakers , firstly when ( at what amperage ) are they specified ? What I have seen typically is that designers specify LSIG breakers once the service size / bus rating of the main swbd at and above 800A ( @ 600V ) . However on smaller services ( 400A and below ) - I dont usually see this being specified . We have sites with 30 amp and larger circuit breakers with LSIG . Depens on the engineer and how much money the customer has . Brian John Leesburg , VA 01 : 40 PM # 9 brian john We have sites with 30 amp and larger circuit breakers with LSIG . Depens on the engineer and how much money the customer has . Are they 100 - 150a frames ? If so that is awesome that they can get the current sensors and electronice tucked into them . That gives more ability to coordinate with them as down stream devices . 05 : 01 PM # 10 Moderator Jul 2006 San Francisco Bay Area , CA , USA 8,570 . . . Just interested to how coordination was achieved prior to the invention of LSIG breakers ? Back in the olden days ( wow , I ' m sounding like my dad now . . . ) we used trip curves printed to the same scale on trace paper ( then later on clear plastic ) and physically overlayed them to coordinate them . In a lot of cases you had to go to larger breakers than necessary just to make the curves work , which meant larger conductors etc . The advent of electronic trip breakers actually has probably saved a lot more money than they cost . __________________________________________________ ____________________________ Many people are shocked when they discover I am not a good electrician . . .

The incubation " safe " period is 24 hours . Anything over 24 hours and you ' re at risk . I ' m not a doctor , so take this advice for what it ' s worth : 1 . Take a Sharpie and draw a circle around the bite to help determine if the bit is growing . 2 . Get to a doctor immediately .

That ' s what I read in a recent article but was wondering if anyone on here could confirm . Not sure if that ' s true for all tick - borne diseases . I am first - hand certain it ' s not true of Colorado Tick Fever , which I caught last spring . It ' s caused by a virus , which is transmitted by the bite , not the feast . I picked up a hitchhiker in my beard , it bit me on the tip of my chin - - evidently in a spot where it could n ' t really get a good fix of blood . I found it after it had given up its fishing hole and was evidently off to search for a new spot - - it was wriggling around in my whiskers , not attached . I shook it off onto the counter and it was not engorged . I took a lighter to it and figured that was that - - I did Two days later , I was in the emergency room with a 104 - degree temperature , feeling like I ' d been hit by a truck . Aches , fever , nausea , light sensitivity , the whole deal . I lost 10 pounds because I just could n ' t eat anything . It was brutal . Oddly , CTF is far more common than Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever , which rarely actually occurs in the Rocky Mountains . But at least CTF wo n ' t kill you . It just makes you wish you were dead . And the really cruel thing is that the illness actually " pauses " after a couple days - - you start to feel better , you find you can actually walk and eat again - - and then BAM you ' re down again . I was effectively unable to get out of bed for 6 days , Permethrin . Good stuff . Very effective . I now spray my shoes , socks , gloves and pack - - trying to establish a perimeter . Not so big on spraying my clothes because it washes off anyway , but it works . # 16 crash821 Jan 2009 114 Any repellents safe for dogs ? Other than the repellent posted from REI , anybody tried any other brands ?

That ' s what I read in a recent article but was wondering if anyone on here could confirm . Truth be told I do n ' t know . The first one I found on me was a large tick , but was n ' t engorged ; just naturally large . He was the one that gave me lymns for sure since I developed the bull ’ s - eye a week later . The others were smaller but I had over 30 of them on me . Most had already bitten me . Never developed a rash or anything but I did get sick almost like before . That ' s why I think I caught lynms twice . Lynms is a nasty disease . You can catch it and never know it . It can kill you if not treated . Before it does though it makes you feel like you have bad arthritis in your joints . 05 - 06 - 2009 # 19 fishbum Masher Aug 2007 533 Word is that less than 24 hrs attachment then you are probably safe . After that see your Doctor . It ' s true that blood tests early in the stages of Lyme are inconclusive , so most docs just put you on the antibiotics . Fever or headaches are other common signs something is up . . . I ' ve also heard that subsequent bites may not show the rash or bullseye symptoms , but I have not heard that confirmed . Which concerns me as I discovered a 5 " bullseye inside my knee last fall and had the antibiotics for 3 weeks . I never knew I was bitten . . . For dogs we use Frontline . . . Ticks attach and then die ( DIE MF ! ) . Last weekend training our retriever we cleaned 20 ( yes , twenty ) ticks off her before she got in the car !

They sometimes try to claim it ' s because that manufacturing costs out there are on par with the US , which is a lie , even with shipping . If that were the case , then it would be a lot easier and sensible to have factories in the US with American workers and managers that can communicate easier and faster .

You see , I own a Specialized bike and like it . But I always loved Cannondales . I live in Brazil and here it ' s very hard for you to find the bike you really want - many importers do n ' t bring all the bikes from a brand ' s line , plus we have a very limited bike market ; these are top brands and very expensive here in our current money and Cannondale only have stabilished for real this year , and we do n ' t have really an official Specialized importer , My bike sure rolls and handles very well , ca n ' t tell it ' s not a good ride overall , but to compare Specialized to Cannondale , to me , is like having a Ford but looking at a shiny BMW . The Ford is good , but BMW is better . That ' s the way I feel about Specialized . Maybe I ' ll be crucified by saying this , here in a Spesh forum , but do n ' t get me wrong , I do like my Specialized bike A LOT . I My Specialized is a ' 05 Enduro 130 and now there is a lot of speculation around the new Stumpjumper , that is supposedly to be spec ' ed with the same numbers as mine . Take a look over here : http : / / forums . mtbr . com / showthread . ph . . .71268 # poststop . See ? They killed an already good bike in favor of hyped trends at the time and now they come back with a similar spec ' ed bike 3 years later . They should learn to keep what ' s good and just move it forward along the stream . But they are all about hype . And that really wears my patience out . They change the models too much within a small space of time too often . That makes you feel you always have a outdated bike , and worse , makes you wonder if it Like I said , who am I to say ? I own one of their bikes , and I have to give in , it ' s pretty darn good . But I still think they should start investing in a tradicional trend that defines them out of the hype trends . They can be innovative just keeping what ' s good in its place . That would be the best innovation Specialized could pull .

All the litigation they get involved with costs a lot of money you know ? Sueing everyone under the sun , bankrupting the little guys . . . That is n ' t cheap ! I was n ' t going to touch in this subject , but since you did . . . Specialized has a dark side and this is it . Specialized is not in the game among other players , they want to run the stadium and kick everybody out . It makes me wonder how they manage between politics and bikes , since they are always worried about others ' life and about what everyone is doing just to be sure if any of their so " hard earned " patents are n ' t being misused ( of course Specialized has its own way of understanding things , that always seemed a little distorted to me . . Many small productors just give up when they come across with all burocracy and obstacles ( demands , costs , project inputs ) that Specialized charges on them . Look , I ' m just being polite . I wo n ' t start any war in here . Politics and ideologies aside , what everyone should care here is about the bikes . Buying it or not for whatever reasons is a reason of your own , and we saw that a lot in other threads when things get confused . There are a lot of problems with Specialized , but those do n ' t come up because they are so over - rated these days , just how Sony was back then . And Sony smacked the ground and they had to adapt themselves to the real world . You bet one day Specialized will have to wake up . Hope before they hard - teeth smack the ground . That gonna hurt . 06 - 10 - 2007 # 9 MtnRider160 Mar 2007 10 A bunch of whining cry babies . You do n ' t like the company , dont buy the product !

Could you please elaborate ? Without specifics this smacks of an internet smear campaign . AR1981 says that they have bankrupted the smaller players and I ' d like to know how they have done this and who they have done this to ? It is so easy to throw a blanket statement out there , but if you are going to make the claim I would like to at least know it is based in part on facts . 06 - 11 - 2007 # 11 Student Driver Jul 2006 1,244 I would like to see specifics on this as well . I have been in the IT industry quite a while , and I have worked ( IT ) in an automotive manufacturing facility that did its own engineering / inventing . When you trademark and patent items , you really have to defend them or you risk developing a pattern that others will take advantage of . If you let a couple of designs that are similar to yours go by unchallenged , another company might use that in defense of stealing a different design of yours . With trademarks , you have to really stay on top of them for the same reasons ( look at Apple and how sue - happy they are with " pod " in the name ) .

Anyone is still free to chime in . . . I ' n not bashing Specialized bikes . I really think they are one of the best industrialized bikes in the world , and it does n ' t matter if its made in Taiwan . It ' s a fine designed bike that has its merits . I even own one and like it . The point of this discussion was to measure if all Specialized bikes are still good if they are made in Asia . And the answer is YES . But I brought to the light the fact that it did n ' t make Specialized bikes more affordable , in fact their prices rised within the years . But that ' s okay for a Premium brand to charge for their name on the frame when it ' s so high rated like Specialized is . Fact is that many times , the product does n ' t speak for the company , and Specialized is known as a major shark in the business . Just to speak of one thing , they own the patents for the Horst link system . They did not invent it , they bought it . Fact is now that anyone who wants to use the horst , has to pay Specialized . Is that wrong since you bought it with your money and if anyone else also wants you charge them ? No . But Specialized sometimes pushes way The philosophy of the company is not what we ride , but it sure would make a difference if they were more open . You see many other companies using Maverick forks in their bikes because Maverick has a friendly policy about that . Specialized should take lessons from that . The same with Santa Cruz / Intense VPP . The system is so proven good that many take cues from it . Giant Maestro , just to name one . Any distant cue from the FSR triggers their alarms . Man , if they are THAT good to serve Specialized are # 1 in the world today for a lot of reasons , but only one stands as the main for us riders : they do make good bikes . And that should only make that a better reason for them to be followed instead of feared . Well , but perhaps we ' re only a bunch of whining cry babies , gonna know .

Thanks for such immersive explanation . Really . Mauricus , may I ask you one thing ? Since there ' s a huge debate about bike companies moving production to Taiwan , what are your thoughts about it ? You made a very interesting insert about the costs of research and development other to production , all invisible forces that may lead to price increase . Do you think that , in the case of Specialized and more recently Cannondale , producing the frames in Taiwan is really a financial advantage if we consider all the other variants you mentioned and yet some others , as logistics ? Thanks again .

I doubt Specialized owns a factory in Taiwan , but subcontracts the work to a major frame builder like Merida . No different when frames were built in the U.S. , but still subcontracted . I doubt my ' 97 Stumpjumper , with a " Made in USA " frame , was built in Morgan Hills . So what ' s the big deal ? The first Stumpjumper was Japanese made anyways . Specialized is a big corporate business , and their goal is to make the most money regardless where their products are made . Specialized does not manufacture ; they do marketing and R&D . Whatever design they come up with gets sent to a manufacturing site overseas where the product is then cranked out . My brother ' s FSR is made in Taiwan , and it is well made regardless of country of origin . As for the boutique pricing , you can go buy a better spec ' ed bike at www . bikesdirect . com . Just do n ' t complain about questionable frame / suspension geometry . I think Specialized still provide good value compared to Ellsworth or Turner , and have more R&D experience compared to KHS or Jamis . Their marketing on the other hand , is just annoying . What ' s the deal with their " super duper secret metal matrix alloy " ? Yes , it has different alloying elements , but that does not make it special or worth the extra price IMO . Oh yeah , they have a website dedicated to water bottles only www . specializedwaterbottles . com 06 - 13 - 2007 # 21 Shocknerd " Excellent ! " Aug 2004 83 In my opinion Stratos was taken out because they could n ' t afford to defend a patent lawsuit and had to be bankrupted . Stratos was producing / licensed an inertia valve shock system that was invented long before Specialized hired their inventor for their inertia valve system . Specialized values a monopoly in this field and hence Stratos " had to go " . This has nothing to do with protecting a return on R + D $ ' s . This is about exploiting a patent " judicial system " that favors the cubic dollars . 07 - 20 - 2007 # 22 Munich888 Jul 2007 5 Just to share Among the Specialized bikes I owned or seen around , they are either made in Taiwan or China . So I was wondering if all Specialized bikes made in Taiwan / China ? To my knowledge , Specialized has sold about 49 % of company to a Taiwanese bike manufacturing company Merida few years ago , thus it did not surprised me if all Specialized frame are made in either China or Taiwan as Merida has manufacturing facilities in both countries . As for why some frame indicates Made in China while other indicates Made in Taiwan , it is simply a matter of business profit margin . For entry level models that are usually sold in mass qty . at lower price , the profit margin is usually low , thus to ensure a lowest possible manufacturing cost while maintaining a profit margin , it is only obvious for the manufacturer to produce the frame in a country demanding the lowest possible manufacturing cost , thus explains frames made in China . However , for higher end models that usually sold However , it really does not matter where the frame is made as long as the Quality Control of the product is duly observed and performed ; thus offering a quality frame at a price that can meet every segment of the market demands . From my observation , Specialized is simply following the route of Nike , keeping what they are best at , and that is the branding and marketing of the product , while selling and outsourcing what they are less competitive , which is the manufacturing . Whether is Specialized or Cannondale . . . . .just ride hard 07 - 20 - 2007 # 23 Like catnip for people Oct 2006 400 notice how none of them have written back . If other people want to know why Specialized are such a corrupt company then they can do the research for themselves . . . It ' s not my job to educate them . # 24 Student Driver Jul 2006 1,244 If one comments in this manner , then it ' s normal to be asked to back it up . You ca n ' t be that surprised by the response . Otherwise , commenting in an attempt to " educate " them without backing it up will usually be ignored . I imagine that most posters would agree and feel the same way . When seeing something posted that is so inflammatory , more people are beginning to question it . This should have been happening a long time ago , but better late than never . # 25 mavsfan Jul 2007 41 I bought a Specialized Hotrock A1 FS for my son yesterday and was bit disappointed that the frame and forks were made in China . At least it said Handmade in China . Well maybe I am asking too much , every thing else that I own is made in China these days . # 26 Stumpy_Steve Aug 2006 2,352 If other people want to know why Specialized are such a corrupt company then they can do the research for themselves . . . It ' s not my job to educate them . sounds like a cop out to me , but thats my opinion . . . 07 - 21 - 2007 # 27 unit74 Semper Fi 204 When I found out the Stumpy I was looking at was made overseas , I went and bought a Trek . My American dollars spent on American labor . . . . . .Simple as that . The Spec stuff may be nice bikes , but I ' d rather keep my buxs in the US . 07 - 21 - 2007 # 28 howitzer11 6 The bottom line is we all have the freedom of choice to buy what we want . I run an 06 stumpjumper pro FSR and for me with all the bikes I have owned this is the best . Yes I always bought american had a couple if ' s and then I bought an intense and paid twice what specialized would charge me for the same design . The difference Intense customer service was aweful . Specialized if you have a problem will replace anything anytime . I guess you could say this is because their margin is so 07 - 22 - 2007 # 29 Bhaltair 59 All I can say is a majority of you need to take some classes in Economics before posting about prices . . . for real . 07 - 22 - 2007 # 30 Bhaltair 59 Almost everything you all buy is made in another country . The only reason some CHEAP MANUFACTURED part would be made in the USA is because it needs some major technology to produce or it needs the infrastructure that no other country has . Take a look at your clothes . Take a look at your car . Ford ? Made in Mexico . Toyota ? Parts made elsewhere , but assembled in USA simply because shipping costs are too high to move assembled cars to the USA markets . I ' m so sick of these stupid arguments about offshoring . . .

Better get rid of the drivetrain then , and the fork . 06 - 01 - 2008 # 32 SpokaneTim Jan 2004 28 Its important to remember I lived in Taiwan for about eights years and still make it back for a visit at least once a year . A few things you should know . Its important to remember that prices get jacked up on this side of the ocean , not in Taiwan . I picked up my 04 Specialized Stumpjumper Pro for around $ 975 . That is far better than the asking price of $ 2500 in the U.S. My wife ' s custom hardtail would have easily topped $ 2000 if built in the U.S. Cost us less than $ 700 in Taiwan . My GT ZRX cyclocross bike which is not even available in the U.S. was only $ 300 in Taiwan yet would ' ve cost well over $ Shipping bikes to the U.S. by the boatload only costs a few dollars . Import tax is little if any . It is the folks here in the U.S. that are ripping you off . There is no Specialized factory in Taiwan . Majority of bikes were built at the Merida plant while the Enduros were built by Giant ( better technology ) . I do n ' t know of any high end Specialized bikes being built in China at the moment . I can check though .

It ' s weight filled w / gas and stuff is approx 850lbs and the trailer is approx 350lbs . I ' ve read the towing capacity is either 1000lbs or 1500lbs . . . why is there a difference in numbers ? Also , what is the difference with a Canadian Nissan Rogue w / Premium package vs one that does n ' t in regards to towing besides the towing pre - wiring ? I ca n ' t find much from Nissan ' s website . I ' ve read somewhere that most FWD ' s do not have the proper tran cooler needed to tow excessive weights for long hauls . Any truth to that ? Does the Premium FWD SL have the same tran cooler as every other rogue ? I ' m also curious to what weights others have towed over 1000lbs and for what distance .

This means no 2010 Rogue in the US has the higher 1500lb tow rating . AFAIK , there is no add - on transmission cooler option available . Either from the factory or aftermarket . Nissan does not sell individual parts for the CVT including the all important heat exchanger with the aux oil cooler lines .

I have towed up to 1200lbs with my FWD model that has the 1000lb rating . But I only do this for short distances . The CVT responds well to the additional loads , but the tendency for it to shift into high gear to save fuel really limits engine braking . I simply use the Overdrive Lock button on the shifter to overcome this .

So I ' m technically allowed to tow upto 1500lbs . That is correct . The Canadian spec 2010 Rogue SL FWD with Premium Package comes with the aux trans cooler and is rated for 1500lbs towing capacity . Would I need trailer brakes then ? Nissan recommends trailer brakes when towing more than 1000lbs . Refer to pg 9 - 20 in your owners manual . It ' s listed as ' Note 1 ' underneath the chart . If I may ask , what were you towing that weighed 1200lbs ? A 5x10 ' landscape trailer loaded with garbage . Approx 800lb dry weight plus 400lb load . I have no overdrive with my Rogue . Since I have the paddle shifters , my understanding I want to tow in a low gear ? What rpm ' s am I ideally wanting to tow for the long haul ? Depends , the CVT is very good at adjusting ratios based on load so I leave it in ' auto ' when cruising around . As soon as I climb a hill , descend a hill , or drive in city traffic I tend to use the OD lock . I would suggest using the ' momentary gear hold ' feature of the CVT where you shift up / down manually when needed . The CVT will revert to auto after a short period . kerrton 2201 Mon Feb 04 , 2008 3 : 48 pm 2008 Nissan Rogue , SL FWD , Gotham Gray Southern Alberta , Canada kerrton Sun Jan 17 , 2010 5 : 46 pm Hi there , Please refer to an existing thread , which has lots of good info but has n ' t been updated in a while . . . . zer . . .untry Re : Towing w / FWD ( kerrton ) Sun Jan 17 , 2010 6 : 33 pm kerrton wrote : Hi there , Please refer to an existing thread , which has lots of good info but has n ' t been updated in a while . . . . zer . . .untry That was a great read ! This should be part of the FAQ IMO . Sun Jan 17 , 2010 6 : 44 pm Another question regarding laws in Ontario .

My understanding is as long as you do n ' t go over the GVWR , yer fine . Mon Jan 18 , 2010 8 : 56 am My understanding is as long as you do n ' t go over the GVWR , yer fine . In simple terms , yes . So long as you do n ' t exceed the vehicle ' s weight rating , you are OK . You can find more information regarding tow ratings and the all important GCWR ( combined weight of trailer and vehicle ) in your owners manual starting on pg 9 - 16 . BTW , there are FWD vehicles that will tow far more than 1000lbs . For example , a FWD Ford Escape V - 6 has a 3500lb tow rating ! 8 posts • Page of Return to “ Rogue Forum ” Jump to | [

Bake in the oven for 15 minutes ( or until the meat flakes apart ) at 425 deg . Very fast and Very good ! 20 Minutes and your eating ! 07 - 22 - 2006 # 22 Frank from NM Member Join Date Apr 2006 Posts 2 Halibut Recipes from the Desert ? ? OK , you ' re saying to yourself . . . " What in the H # * * does a guy from New Mexico know about halibut recipes ? " The answer is this : The guy from New Mexico works with a woman from Alaska , and she passed this on to me . It ' s easy , and WOW , is it absolutely mouth - watering ! ! OK , this is it - 1 . Take your halibut and cut it into pieces ( so it looks like giant scallops ) . 2 . Then , in a plastic bag , mix flour , salt , pepper and whatever spices YOU like ( I used Cayenne pepper and lemon pepper and a little bit of garlic salt , but you can vary this any way you want to ) . 3 . Beat a couple or three eggs in a bowl ( use a whip if you have one , if not then just pretend you ' re making scrambled eggs ) . Add a little bit of ice water to that mix ( not much , maybe a tablespoon or two ) . 4 . Take some Panko Japanese bread crumbs and have them ready for the fish . Put ' em in a plate , so you can roll the fish after you ' ve done steps 5 , 6 , 7 ( nah , it ' s not confusing , just pay attention . ; ) 5 . Put your halibut pieces into the flour mixture and shake it up . 6 . Dip them in your egg mixture . 7 . Roll them in the Panko crumbs and set aside so they ' re ready to go in the oil at the same time . 8 . Oh , yeah - you should already have your oil hot in the pan , but you can still do it now . Your choice of vegetable or olive oil , depending on your preference and your financial situation . 9 . Drop the fish in the oil until they are nice and brown on the bottom , then flip so they look the same on both sides ( if deep frying , this is n ' t an issue ) . Done . In my opinion , MUCH better than beer batter ( I know , opinions . . . ) . Does n ' t soak up as much oil ; crispy and tasty . Mmmmmmmm . . . . . I can hardly wait to get up there ( August , first trip ! ) and catch my own ! enjoy .

We have experienced this " soggy halibut " as well . We thought that because some of the fish were small that they might have been a type of sole or something that might explain it rather than a halibut . We have yet to figure out what the story is for sure . No matter how you cook it , it does not matter .

Put some butter in a baking pan , and the fillets on top . Sprinkle a few lemon juice drops over the fillets . Place in the oven for approximately 5 minutes , drain the water from the pan , turn the fillets over , and broil 5 more minutes . Drain more water if any , and then spread the parmesan mix over the fillets no more that 1 / 4 " thick . Place in the oven again , and when Keep in mind that you can experiment with the mix of mayo / mustard , and cheese to the right consistency and flavor . But somewhere around 3 / 1 ( mayo / mustard ) should be close . Do n ' t use salt and only a few drops of soy sauce , because the cheese already has lots of salt . Also , you do n ' t want to over - broil the fillets . Just look at it between " broils " and see if it ' s just about done before you broils again with Serve with mashed potatoes and a gravy of your liking , and some fruit chunks ( cantaloupe , kiwi , cut grapes , banana , etc . , and sprinkle a few drops of lemon juice over the fruit ) .

A buddy of mine treated us to an incredible dish at our remote cabin that I had never heard of . Ceviche is a South American dish made popular by some high end Mexican resturaunts .

If you are not paying more than $ 150 to a few hundred bucks and it does not leak , its a good enough deal for a starter canoe . .

I just unintentionally fell asleep and was woken by my dad coming home from work and felt horrendous after , feel completely out of it , so sick and dizzy , plus I sometimes get a pain in my stomach which may be because of stress or stomach problems and that is hurting . I was wondering two things , one , why does Any ideas ? Thank you Ps . My nap was about 20 mins which I thought was a good amount time for a nap . Jun 17 , 2013 Sasha Fine , thank you Messages 17,863 Likes 34,201 Location UK I do n ' t have exactly the same symptoms as you but I do feel like death after a nap - malaise and aching . When I wake in the night , I also often though not always feel like death . I ' d love to know what that ' s all about . If I wake early - say 5 a.m. - and get back to sleep , guaranteed like - death when I wake later . jeffrez Senior Member 1,112 681 Location NY It might be possible that you just need longer naps . I sometimes feel like crap after a short 15 - 20 nap , but if I really get a good 1 or 2 hour mini - sleep nap , I can actually wake up feeling quite refreshed ( after that initial few minutes upon waking when you feel like death warmed over , lol ) . Sometimes more refreshed than following a usual night time sleep . I think in general we could all use more sleep , jmho . It ' s just so hard with computer / internet , phone , tv , etc . always around and available , speaking personally at least . Valentijn and Little Bluestem rosie26 Senior Member 2,441 5,221 Hi Willhm , I have had this problem since having ME . I never allow myself to go to sleep during the day even in the early years of severe insomnia . Because I would wake up so weak , nauseous and feel like death ! I think it might be either that our blood pressure goes down too low or it could be a glucose thing in the blood ( too low ) ? Oh it would be so sweet to be able to catch up on sleep during the day that missed out during the night . I Beyond Juice Me Up , Scotty ! ! ! 1,122 780 Murcia , Spain Count me in the group of shitty naps . I have had this problem even before being " sick " I think ( maybe I always were in a latent form ! ) . I just know longer naps doesnt make it better . Jun 18 , 2013 soxfan 963 586 North Carolina I rest in the afternoon but never fall asleep . . .when I get up after an hour or so I feel completely horrible . Even worse then before I laid down . I would n ' t even bother doing it since I always feel so awful when I get up but there is no way I ca n ' t . . .I would never make it through dinner and till my 9 thirty bedtime . Sometimes I try to just rest Ina chair so I am not laying down but that usually does n ' t help . So I feel horrible even if I do n ' t actually fall asleep . .I would like to but find it impossible to even doze . Jun 18 , 2013 L liquid sky 371 213 I try hard not to ever lay down during the day . I generally can not fall all the way asleep and I feel horrible when I get back up . Actually , I feel horrible when I am lying there too . I believe it has something to do with being in the supine position . Maybe not getting enough oxygen / blood flow to the brain ? I feel awful when I wake up in the morning also . It takes a few hours to improve somewhat . I have been wondering about getting the blood flow / drainage checked out to my head / neck area . I also tend to desaturate when lying down , so could be connected . It is horrible to be so exhausted and know you will pay if you lie down . soxfan SOC 7,849 16,346 Huh ! That ' s quite a few people all having a symptom I do n ' t think I ' ve heard of before . I ' ll be interested to see if it ' s common among PWME or not . When I was sicker than I am currently , I would also feel awful enough after naps of less than an hour , that I would avoid them , but I do n ' t think I felt as awful as others are reporting . Mostly I just felt more tired , brain foggy , headachey , and irritable along with general malaise , but nothing in the nausea area - - but then I do n ' t have GI symptoms anyway . I could take long ( 1 - 5 hr ) " naps " during the day I ' m guessing my poor short nap problem is not the same as other people are describing here . Beyond Juice Me Up , Scotty ! ! ! 1,122 780 Murcia , Spain Its interesting yes , now that I think about it this feeling awful after " siestas " could be a marker of bad health of some sort . As far as I know , lots of " normal " people say that naps make them feel refreshed . For me it takes hours to overcome the nausea , malaise and slight headaches . I dont take naps anymore , indeed , why bother . I try to sleep at night . rosie26 963 586 North Carolina I actually feel horrible when I am laying down as well . I know it will always turn out bad but have the overwhelming need to rest . It is especially bad when I work and come home afterwards and rest . . .that is when I feel the worse . I do n ' t have any type of stomach problems but do feel just totally disgusting when I get up . . . 2,441 5,221 I do n ' t understand why I do n ' t have this problem when I wake up during the night , it only happens to me during the day . And it is so awful , I feel like my heart is hardly beating , feel sick and very weak , I walk all bent over and weak and fragile . It eventually passes but takes hours . Wish I knew what the cause was . Perhaps get the pain in the stomach checked out by doctor incase it ' s something else going on Willhm , if ukxmrv 4,406 4,565 London Are people sleeping with their beds raised so the heads are up ? I ' m wondering about something Dr Cheney said about heart problems and lying down flat . Is it the sleeping or the lying down for people ? jeffrez 1,112 681 NY ukxmrv said : Are people sleeping with their beds raised so the heads are up ? I ' m wondering about something Dr Cheney said about heart problems and lying down flat . Is it the sleeping or the lying down for people ? Easy enough to check . Just lie down for 20 minutes . ; - ) If you ' re someone who feels worse after a nap , I doubt you ' d feel as bad from that . What ' s most likely happening ( imho ) is that the brain is increasing slow waves as one goes into the sleep state , and then probably not cycling back up into the fully waking state , keeping one stuck in that kind of spacey , groggy place for a few hours , with all the attendant para - / sympathetic / hpaa changes that go along with that ( lower blood pressure , lower heart rate , etc . ) . taniaaust1 and It ' s the falling asleep during the day that is the problem for me . I ' ve always had my bed raised at the head , since being sick , stuck a pillow under mattress , had to do this as light - headedness , dizziness was too bad , sinus , sore head problems required raised bed at head . Could be overly sensitive to that sleep cycle you mention jeffrez ? might be a cause I have also experienced these same symptoms after taking certain painkiller tablets , their is one brand of Panadol that I can not take , the original brand is fine .

I spend a lot of time in the day lying down and feel fine but that ' s in shorter bursts ( 15 - 20 mins ) than when I nap ( 40 mins ) or sleep at night - but during the night , this feeling is n ' t reliably there and seems to depend on the time .

In the absence of kidney damage which people usually know about and certain drugs that cause the potassium to accumulate , low potassium is the odds on favorite after staerting methylation . As methylation starts up , no ifs ands or buts typically , in a day or less with the active protocol , when those symptoms hit on the 3rd day typically or a little later , it ' s virtually always potassium . This can get dangerous From Pubmed - http : / / www . ncbi . nlm . nih . gov / pubmedhealth / PMH0001510 / Hypokalemia Potassium - low ; Low blood potassium Last reviewed : May 29 , 2011 . Hypokalemia is a lower - than - normal amount of potassium in the blood . Causes , incidence , and risk factors Potassium is needed for cells , especially nerve and muscle cells , to function properly . You get potassium through food . The kidneys remove excess potassium in the urine to keep a proper balance of the mineral in the body . Hypokalemia is a metabolic disorder that occurs when the level of potassium in the blood drops too low . Possible causes of hypokalemia include : Antibiotics ( penicillin , nafcillin , carbenicillin , gentamicin , amphotericin B , foscarnet ) Diarrhea ( including the use of too many laxatives , which can cause diarrhea ) Diseases that affect the kidneys ' ability to retain potassium ( Liddle syndrome , Cushing syndrome , hyperaldosteronism , Bartter syndrome , Fanconi syndrome ) Diuretic medications , which can cause excess urination Eating disorders ( such as bulimia ) Eating large amounts of licorice or using products such as herbal teas and chewing tobaccos that contain licorice made with glycyrrhetinic acid ( this substance is no longer used in licorice made in the United States ) Magnesium deficiency Sweating Vomiting Symptoms A small drop in potassium usually does n ' t cause symptoms . However , a big drop in the level can be life threatening . Symptoms of hypokalemia include : Abnormal heart rhythms ( dysrhythmias ) , especially in people with heart disease Constipation Fatigue Muscle damage ( rhabdomyolysis ) Muscle weakness or spasms Paralysis ( which can include the lungs ) Signs and tests Your health care provider will take a sample of your blood to check potassium levels . Other tests might include : Arterial blood gas Basic or comprehensive metabolic panel Electrocardiogram ( ECG ) Blood tests to check glucose , magnesium , calcium , sodium , phosphorous , thyroxine , and aldosterone levels Treatment Mild hypokalemia can be treated by taking potassium supplements by mouth . Persons with more severe cases may need to get potassium through a vein ( intravenously ) . If you need to use diuretics , your doctor may switch you to a form that keeps potassium in the body ( such as triamterene , amiloride , or spironolactone ) . One type of hypokalemia that causes paralysis occurs when there is too much thyroid hormone in the blood ( thyrotoxic periodic paralysis ) . Treatment lowers the thyroid hormone level , and raises the potassium level in the blood . Expectations ( prognosis ) Taking potassium supplements can usually correct the problem . In severe cases , without proper treatment a severe drop in potassium levels can lead to serious heart rhythm problems that can be fatal . Complications In severe cases , patients can develop paralysis that can be life threatening . Hypokalemia also can lead to dangerous irregular heartbeat . Over time , lack of potassium can lead to kidney damage ( hypokalemic nephropathy ) . Jan 30 , 2012 Aroa Anju rosieness and 3 others R Rosebud Dairy Senior Member Messages 166 Likes 6 This is critical information ! ! Thank you Freddd . In women who are still in their fertile years , the first full menstrual cycle after start up may be an ABSOLUTELY critical time for potassium . Feeling faint or nauseated can be signs of this , especially if the patient has a history of heavy periods . Symptoms of low potassium could possibly be felt in the luteal phase ( the 14 or so days ) leading to menstruation . Nauseated in the evening during your PMS time ? This could be low potassium . Having " rescue " potassium on hand in the car , at home , in your purse , etc . is prudent , wise , and possibly life - saving . Making your supervising doctor aware of this issue also educates them as to components of your own care that could seem otherwise mysterious . Bottom line for women in their fertile years - - A heavy period could throw you down really really hard , and rather unexpectedly . If this occurs concurrently with 1 - 2 days of paradoxical folate deficiency , then you just might feel like you could die . REALLY . Paying attention to your own care , and taking time to do so is so very important ! KappaMaki Adlyfrost and L ' engle R richvank 2,732 917 Hi , all . I , too , want to encourage everyone to be careful about lowering potassium too much . I think that this issue is a good reason to go a little slower in restoring the methylation cycle function , and with it , the folate levels , which promote more rapid production of DNA and RNA , and hence more rapid cell proliferation and a greater demand for potassium . I realize that Freddd ' s views about this are different , and I understand that he and some others are not able to benefit from use of hydroxocobalamin , but I just want to note again that for those who can use it ( and about two - thirds of the people in our clinical study apparently were able to , because they benefited significantly ) , use of hydroxocobalamin allows the cells of the body to maintain control over how fast the methylation cycle and the folate metabolism recover , and thus this can take place more slowly In general , I have found that when dealing with a complex system , of which the human body is a prime example , it ' s not a good idea to make fast changes . Best regards , Rich F 5,032 1,573 Location Salt Lake City As Rich mentions , a certain degree of caution is desireable . I feel it is better to do the mb12 and have the startup in a predictale manner , so that one is prepared to adjust to turning methylation on NOW , rather than some time unexpected in the next 6 months or not . MY OPINION is that knowing it is going to start in 2 - 4 days and be prepared to titrate potassium then and there , knowing it is going to start , is far safer . How many people are going to carry potassium I suppose a case can be made for leaving people in active b12 and paradoxical folate deficiencies for the rest of their lives so they do n ' t have to deal with healing and being healthy and the things that happen . Instead I will help identify these things and others as people find them . One of the things that bothers me , and I may have seen a couple of examples so far , nothing concrete but certainly suggestive , are people for whom , no doubt in the 1 / 3 of those who are wrirte So far we can recognize or suspect - Recognize : induced low potassium . paradoxical folate deficiency from folic acid paradoxical folate deficiency from folinic acid and vegetable food source folate induced folate deficiency from NAC , glutathione and whey showstopper deficiency of vit D showstopper deficiency of zinc showstopper deficiency of SAM - e showstopper deficiency of magnesium showstopper deficiency of l - carnitine fumarate worsened active b12 deficiency from hycbl worsened active b12 deficiency from cyanocbl Suspect : Showstopper deficiency of Vitamin C , subclinical scurvy or worse . paradoxical folate deficiency from folic acid - worsened or triggered Subacute combined degeneration paradoxical folate deficiency from folinic acid vegetable food source folate - worsened or triggered Subacute combined degeneration induced folate deficiency from NAC , glutathione and whey - worsened or triggered Subacute combined degeneration and in conjuction with methylfolate worsened or triggered Subacute combined degeneration induced by inadequate neurological activity of hycbl and in conjuction with methylfolate worsened or triggered Subacute combined degeneration induced by inadequate neurological activity of cycbl Adlyfrost Rosebud Dairy 166 6 I think my recent k - drops were possible showstoppers . They occurred as a great convergence : primarily my own ignorance ( I had so many months of morning sickness that nausea was merely something to be dismissed as trivial . . . . . . . . . .NO MORE ! ) my docs ' ignorance . . . . . . . .but this is just generally accepted as the way things are my own cycle issues my possible re - re - start symptoms kicking the potassium switch to " ON " at the same time as the other issue .

Words from you both help make me better and a better patient . It is so good to feel better . Hi Rosebud , I want to mention that Nutrasweet gives me totally terrible rip - roaring headaches . I have n ' t tried any aspartame since the mid to late 80s prior to my crash at the end of 87 . adreno PR activist 4,841 10,878 I believe I almost killed myself yesterday , due to potassium deficiency . After having supplemented 1 - 2g per day for weeks , I was having severe diarrhea and cloudy urine , and so I thought maybe I was overdoing the potassium and took a break from supplementing , instead eating lots of potassium rich foods . I felt reasonally OK yesterday , and went for some exercise in the gym . I very fast felt very sick ; my heart was jumping all over the place ( felt like arythmia ) , and I felt like I was gonna collapse . At one point I wondered whether I would make it home . After I got home I took 500mg potassium , and half hour later I ate a banana . A few hours later I was n ' t feeling much better , and again this thought of overdoing the potassium entered my mind . So I tried taking 1000mg calcium , with two teaspoons of sea salt . This was a very bad idea . Tachycardia and blood pressure skyrocketed , and I felt very sick again . 500mg potassium and another banana plus half a cantaloupe , and I started to feel a little better . I feel better today . It ' s afternoon here , and I ' ve already taking 1200mg of potassium , plus two bananas , one avocado and several other veggies and meats . It seem like I ' m producing cells at an incredible rate , or my electrolyte levels are just very unstable . I have low cortisol and POTS , and because of some degree of autonomic dysfunction , I am probably not controlling my electrolyte levels very well .

Every time I think I ' ve overdone potassium , it ' s just the opposite : I ' m not getting enough . Looks like I need about 2000mg supplemental , 3 bananas , half a cantaloupe , an avocado , some potatoes and tomatoes , and I still feel borderline low . I constantly feel sluggish and brain fogged , shifts in tingling levels , muscle twitching , cold extremities , and my cloudy urine is back ( do n ' t know the cause ) .

Hi Adreno , Part of the problem is how to know just fast our body is cranking out cells . I had my worst occurances when I started l - carnitine fumarate . I had been on mb12 for almost 2 years . I had been on adb12 more than 1 year . Healing was flat . I started taking the l - carnitine fumarate . bang . Suddenly I ' m putting on muscle at a totally outrageous rate . The problem is that it is n ' t limited to mb12 . It can happen with the " last in " Adreno , I found it worked best if I could find a base level of potassium with my daily vitamins that keeps me mostly out of trouble and pretty steady and then just have to take an additional 300mg 2 or 3 times a day if needed . Becasue it is water soluable , I find multiple smaller doses works better than huge swings . Jan 31 , 2012 adreno PR activist 4,841 10,878 I have been taking fumarate for a long time , along with smaller doses of methylcobalamin and methylfolate . So maybe I have experienced the same increased healing rate as you did , when I upped the dose of the mb12 and mf . I ' ll reduce to 2.5mg mb12 , and 1mg mf , twice daily , along with quarter tab adb12 and 500mg fumarate once daily . As long as I need extra potassium , things are moving in the right direction , I ' m guessing . I also bought myself a pulse watch , which I will use to keep an eye on heart rate during exercise . And from now on I ' ll bring potassium to the gym . adreno said : I have been taking fumarate for a long time , along with smaller doses of methylcobalamin and methylfolate .

Hi Adreno , As it appears that a good 75 % or so of the effect of mb12 takes place with the first 150mcg or so , I doubt that reducing to 2.5mg sublingual ( say 500mcg + - ) will make any noticable difference on potassium . There is not a lot of grading one can do as it appears that the cell formation for any given " level " turns on when all the needed items are present . So some level is either " stalled " or it turns on .

One looks up all these things like mb12 and Metafolin and so on , nowhere do they warn against hypokalemia . I suspect two casues . first that they are in the " everything has side effects " mode and do n ' t really pay attention to what it is and second , there is no realization that people can be in lots of trouble even if not fatal in the potassium range So in another 70 years or so , say 10 cycles of research or so , to come to an understanding of mb12 , adb12 and Metafolin as individual items , another 70 years to understand each pair , another 70 years for each triad ad infinitum . So when are they going to understand something as complex as the active b12 protocol ? 200 years ? 500 years ? I and everybody needs healing NOW . To go from the simplified protocol to the active b12 protocol is what , about 30 research cycles as they adjust one factoer If it is SO OBVIOUS to us taking these vitamins , why is it so invisible to the doctors ? Why is n ' t this an " of course " ? Where does this studied ignorance come from ? I worked in an environment with many of these people through the years . What so often happens is that some renegades , like you and me , come along and start looking for things from a different viewpoint . We actually think vitamins can do something . When I tell doctors that I have a questionaire that in combination As a software developer I worked on the active b12 protocol from a very different viewpoint . Instead of having one unchangeable set of items , I did many mini - trials to settle on the dose of mb12 , brand of mb12 , sublingual time , adb12 . type of carnitine , dose of carnitine , injectable b12 dosage amounts and timeing , Metafolin amounts , times , with and without meals , etc trying to pin down each variation . The same with gltuathione to a more limited degree . When it worsened my Subacute combined degneration it I think that the anti nutrition stance of the AMA and other bodies set the tone with " anything vitamins appear to do is placebo " . I doubt that any of those people watched how quickly scurvy , beriberi and pellagra could turn around with the right nutrients . They gained a false idea of vitamins from all the inactive vitamirs used instead of the real thing . Denial runs deep .

Hi Enid , I do n ' t understand your post . Can you please explain it to me ? I thought we agreed that higher doses causes more healing than lower , which one should think would translate to deeper drop in potassium . If healing is an on / off switch , why would we take higher doses ? For penetration ? Hi Adreno , You are forgetting the " level " thing . The fastest cell duplicating tissues , ie epithelium ; our skin , stomach , intestines , mouth , lungs are both the first things noticalbly affected when sutdown occurs from lack of Metafolin and also come back up soonest . Higher doses can penetrate deeper , be available a longer part of the day etc . At a certain point the mb12 suddenly penetrates the CNS and other tissues may also have that sudden penetration effect . The effect is NOT linear . With each doubling above that base amout , each doubling appears to go about half way from where the level of healing is to 100 % . So it is a dininishing returns thing that approqaches a limit . 5mg sublingual does more healing than 1mg but NOT 5 times as much , maybe only 50 % Enid 3,309 864 UK Fredd your post 15 . In my early days for some unknown reason on an unchanged life long diet my urine shot to neon yellow . All my Doc bemused could say " never met except too many bananas " There were many other problems at that time too . Just feel this an indication / warning of internal " chemistry " gone awry . Why should one be losing potassium on little more at that time than being on recognised ME supplements ( eg vitamins - nothing remotely serious ) .

B12 darkens it towards a darker yellow , then with more , orange or even red . If no yellow pink towards magenta . 1 2 3 9 Next You must log in or register to reply here .

A gallon of fatheads will weigh somewhere in the upper 7 lb range . Fatheads sold by the gallon are usually displaced , meaning , how many minnows does it take to displace 1 gallon of water . They are sold both by the pound and gallon around here . Highest price I have seen around here was 44.00 / gallon . Some sell them by the pound , usually between 5.00 - 7.00 / lb retail . Prices have gone up about 40 - 50 % in the past few years . 100.00 / gallon seems a bit steep , that would be about 14.00 / lb give or take . Around here they usually sell fhm in the 250 / lb range , being market size .

And it ' s a good thing that I did . I knew it was going to be a little chilly before I left , but even so , It was a lot colder than I had expected , when I got there ( around noon ) . Fortunatly , the Powwow had been moved indoors because of the weather . They held it inside what used to be a high school gym ( although the high school itself had been torn down ) . I could see several Scottish tartans hanging from 2 of the walls , and was told that they had also used it to host the last local Highland games . It was so packed , that it was filled to at least twice capacity . When I got there , all the spectator seats ( of which there were a lot , since they were built for a gym ) were full , so I just sat on the floor . I was just in time for the beginning of the stories , but unfortunatly , the microphone was so garbled , that I could n ' t really understand what the story - tellers were saying . After they were finnished with the stories , I got in line for some lunch . There were quite a few people in front of me , so I had to wait about 20 minutes before I could place my order . But I did n ' t mind ; I just passed the time chatting with other people in line . I had a bowl of Machu soup ( corn soup with sausage and a few other things in it ) , and an " Indian taco " ( which is made with frybread ) . They were both awesome . Then afterwards , I decided to check out the vendors . Although there were only three vendors stands , there were still some pretty good things . Two ladies at one of the stands were selling NA DVDs ( some fiction , some not ) , and I bought a DVD from them called " Tales of Wonder I & II " . On the DVD , a man named Gregg Howard ( who ' s Cherokee / Powhatan ) tells traditional NA stories to a group of children , and also teaches several words in Cherokee and tells a bit about Cherokee history . I also bought NA - style small purse made of very soft leather , with some nice fringing and beadwork on it ; as well as a hand - woven bracelet which also had some nice beadwork on it . And of course , I also bought a program . The gourd dancers were very good ( one little boy who was dancing had red and blue regalia made from a Spiderman blanket , with a picture of Spiderman on the front , and on the back , and blue and red fringework ) . Only two girls did Fancy Shawl dancing , but they were impressive . Apparently dancing like that is not easy to learn ; and takes a bit of stamina . When it was Round - dance time , I joined in . I took up position right behind a NA guy and tried to imitate him , but the rythm did n ' t quite flow right , so my dancing came out looking more like somthing from Riverdance ( a woman who was dancing near me even asked if I did traditional Irish dancing , because her daughter did ) . The powwow drew quite a diverse crowd . You would n ' t believe the number of Cherokee and Choctaw there ( there were also some Apache , and a couple of other Nations ) . There were actually two drumming circles . The host drummers ( who were from Louisiana ) , and group of drummers from Mississippi . There were also several Goths , and quite a few bikers . Of course , not all of the Powwow was quite as impressive . There was a family of Cherokee who were weaving and selling baskets there . They were also selling some other things . I looked at one of their tables and saw a rather small tube made of beads . I asked one of them what it was , and she said it was a cigarette - lighter - holder . On the table , I also saw beaded keychains . Unbelievable . And in another stand I saw a guy who was selling some hunting knives . . . which were made in China . He was also selling " dream - catchers " made with cotton instead of feathers . However he was also selling some pretty good stuff ; like assorted types of small crystals ( quartz , amythyst , etc . ) . Nothing expensive , but they were pretty . The Head Man Dancer was a Mohawk from Canada named Matthew Rasonako ' he Montour ; and his regalia was complely traditional . He was even wearing traditional - style black & white face - paint . The guy was huge He was deffinatly a good deal over six feet tall . But I talked with him . He seemd like a really nice guy . The NA vets there were each wearing vests that said which branch of the military that they had served in ; and vets from each branch were called in to the circle to be honored ; one branch at a time . Then MC invited all vets there ( both Native and non ) to come into the circle to be honored . All in all , I had really nice time . Although it lasted until 6 : 00 , I left at about 4 : 30 because the closing ceromony had been held , and I had quite a long drive home ahead of me , and I did n ' t want to be driving at night because I did n ' t want to get lost . As soon as I walked out of the building , I was glad of my diecision , because it was completly overcast , the temperature had dropped low enough to make me shiver , and the wind had really picked up . I got home ok , though .

When I feel around the area , it feels larger on the left ( where there is more pain ) as compared the the right . Could this area be swollen ? What could cause that ? I just read about myofacial pain , but am unclear if that would include swelling . I am going to see a rheumatologist on monday for unrelated reason . Would she cover such a question ? I am so used to getting treated as though I and my vaugue / strange symptoms are crazy by drs , I am trying to get a grasp on what is going on and how to best " present " it to the dr , so to minimize such a response . So sad that we must deal with those issues , but they are realities . Thanks for any help you can give . Sep 27 , 2008 # 1 grace54 New Member This seems to be where my fibromyalgia has settled , even though I am much better the last couple of months I have been suffering with this head / neck issue . I went to a chiropractor and it was helpful but it soon came back . I have also noticed that it flares when I am suffering from allergies . There is an inflamatory response with alergic reactions so I think there is a connection there at least for me . I know what you mean by Dr ' s not understanding our issues and I have often thought that I was so unique in my pain and suffering until I came here . It is a helpless feeling that no one gets it and surely they wo n ' t be able to help me . I never did get any good answers from my local DR ' s so I continue to research . For what it ' s worth these pains come and go and move around and I just realised my neck / head pain was much [ This Message was Edited on 09 / 27 / 2008 ] grace54 # 2 vannafeelbettr That area at the base of the neck is a spot mapped out on the FM tenderpoints diagram . When FM is in a flare , the tenderpoints have a tendency to get ' bigger ' or ' hurt ' more . It ' s believed to be a build - up of lactic acid in that area . Good luck ! ! ! vannafeelbettr # 3 PatDLT My back going up the back of my head , like tendrils spreading around the base of my skull . Very painful at times , but they always seem to go away . Not sure about the swollen part . Ca n ' t tell . If you are concerned it is something else , definitely tell your doctor what you are feeling . Hope all turns out well . Pat PatDLT # 4 DeborahLynn Member I ' m not sure I ' m spelling it right . . . My aunt had CFS symptoms , and she was finally diagnosed with Chiari ' s formation , or malformation , or something . . . It has to do with the opening in the bones at the base of the skull not being wide enough for the nerves and blood flow to pass through to the brain correctly . I am not remembering clearly the information my aunt gave me , but google Chiari ' s and maybe you ' ll find it . My aunt had surgery to correct this , and it seems to have helped her a lot . It might be worth checking out . Lots of love and prayers , Debbie DeborahLynn # 5 for your responses . As always , it helps just to know that others have the same or similar symptoms . It can be so confusing with vague symptoms , and changing symptoms . It is sometimes hard to figure out which are just part of the illness , and which are a red flag signs that should be reported to a dr asap . I appreciate the feedback a lot . ( ps . I wanted to respond to each of your answers in more detail , but fatigue and brain fog are getting in the way ) # 6 Granniluvsu Well - Known Member I have had alot of what you are describing for MANY years . However , now I also found I have arthritis and swell as chronic Myofascial pain . So , i just do n ' t know which is which - but does it really matter ( - : ! ! Not really ! Don ; t know about flaring as it hurts almost all the time . Hugs . Granni Granniluvsu # 7 ladybugmandy Member i do n ' t know about FM , but i believe many if not most cases of CFS is caused by infection of the brain and spinal cord . ladybugmandy # 8 fibrobutterfly always ck with your dr . of course ! But that pain is the reason I was put on lyrica , and it helped almost immediately , although I believe I was taking too high mgs . after awhile and am decreasing .

However when you are preparing to go to the doctors , always write a list of : all of your meds & doses , precise descriptions of your symptoms and all questions you want to ask .

I know about the sals / dosage etc . but have a question about the mucinex . It only comes in 600mg right ? ( I know I can order it cheaper here , but really wanted to get started . ) Is this very different than taking 300mg 2x a day ? I thought I could split the pills but it says not to . Should I just wait and order different pills ? If I ' m a low doser will this put me in a Thanks [ This Message was Edited on 01 / 28 / 2005 ] Jan 27 , 2005 # 1 Jude New Member Dear Zoemurr Mucinex comes in 600mg pills without score lines for splitting . Even though the bottle says not to split the pills you can do so . However , they are hard to split evenly . Some people use scissors , some pill splitters and others a sharp knife . Some people use the FA Guai by ProHealth by taking one half tablet plus one fourth tablet in the morning and the same dosage in the evening . The FA is working just as well as the Mucinex . I would encourage you to read " What Your Doctor May Not jude Jude # 2 I have the book and think I have a handle on all of that . Why do you think the box says not to split them ? I ' m sure it would be hard , but I ' m willing to try if it ' s safe . # 3 jef40 Does the liquid provide the same benefit ? I certainly feel awful after I drink three or four teaspoons full . . . jef40 # 4 padre The tablets are coated to disolve slowly in the small intestine . It is long acting and lasts 12 hours giving a more stable dose . But , 300 mg four times a day is about the same . See the Mucinex site on Google . - Padre padre # 5 Mikie Moderator If Guai is the only ingredient , it may be OK , but the only liquid was a cough syrup with another active ingredeint and should not be used for this treatment . The fast acting Guai sold here in 400 mg . tablets is as effective as the Mucinex and does not contain the blue / green dye which caused problems for me . It ' s cheaper too . Love , Mikie Mikie # 6 any more opinions on splitting them ? Why does it say not to ? # 7 bump Jan 28 , 2005 # 8 Hinemoa so when you split the tablet or chew or crush it you are releasing all the tiny portions of medication which are timed to be released throughout the day . With some medications this is quite dangerous because you get a large " blast " of medication when the dosages are titrated to carry you through the day . But if mucinex has a split - line it could mean that it ' s OK to use it like a 300mg dose . After all when you take a non - timed release quaifenisen ( sp ) you get the whole 600mgs at once . Pharmacists are handy purveyors of all things medicational , however they do stick to the rules and written regulations . I suggest you ask one you can trust . Blessings , Sandra Hinemoa Jan 28 , 2005 # 9 Mucinex is currently manufactured to be used as a mucus thinner . The tablet is designed to be released over a 12 - hour - period . Splitting the tablet may allow the dosage to be absorbed more rapidly and as a result not cover a 12 - hour - period . That is why the box says do not split . With pain medications splitting a dose could allow too much into your bloodstream causing a dangerous situation . With Mucinex it is not a dangerous situation but a question of time - release . Remember , we are Jude # 10 I feel better about it now . Thanks . # 11 Moderator Which is much cheaper than the Mucinex seems to work just as well . Instead of taking it twice a day , just take it three times a day and it works as well . It does not contain that nasty blue / green dye which gave me a rash when I first started taking it . It is safe to cut the long acting Guai tablets . Love , Mikie Jan 29 , 2005 # 12 mdempsey Do people do this under a drs supervision or on their own ? mdempsey Jan 30 , 2005 # 13 QuilterB I ' ve recently found " humibid " in 400 mg tablets , which are actually easier to split than the blue Mucinex pills . . .also found them to be cheaper when I calculated the cost / mg . I ' d also agree with the point about liquid guai - since it ' s usually set up as an expectorant / cough medicine , and the amount you ' d need to take to get an appropriate amount of guiafenisen would probably make most people sick ! Good luck , QuilterB QuilterB Jan 30 , 2005 # 14 Even those docs who think they are knowledgeable regarding the Guai treatment often do n ' t know as much as they should about it . It can be done on one ' s own , but it is essential to read the book , " What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About FIBROMYALGIA , " by Dr . St . Amand . His website , Guaidoc , is a wealth of info . This is an excellent treatment , but it does require knowledge and patience . The Guai is no longer an Rx , but it can be bought in both the long acting and short acting form here . The short acting is just as good and is cheaper . # 15 ( You must log in or sign up to reply here . ) Forums Home Forums Conditions Fibromyalgia Forums | [

Any time I have had or suspected a UTI they did a dip test at the doctor ' s office and knew right away . It shows infection but does not show they type . They can start you on an antibiotic right away that covers most of the common bacteria . When I have had a culture done , they usually had it back within 24 hours . I rely on cranberry supplements to keep me infection free , and they work great for me as a preventive . I would talk to my doctor about the nurse ' s behavior too , she needs to know that it ' s her job to help you , not give you a hard time . Marjidoll # 2 mommyRN A culture of anything takes 72 hours . You really do n ' t want to start an antibiotic until you know specifically that it is effective on your specific infection . I strongly discourage anyone who will listen from taking antibiotics unnecessarily . We have a serious issue in the US concerning resistant staph infections , primarily due to the bacteria getting " smarter " with exposure to antibiotics . You can treat your infection with vitamin C or cranberry capsules ( found in the vitamin / supplement section of most pharmacies ) . Take one capsule of the Good Luck mommy RN ( emphesisi on the RN ) mommyRN # 3 I want to thank each of you for empathising with me , and especially MommyRN for informing me about the length of cultures and about buying cranberry supplements and how to take them .

I went to specialist and now know it ' s tendonitis , bursitis , and a muscle that was stretched far enough to have tiny tissue tears . Dr . gave me a couple lidocain and steroid shots . My family Dr . did same thing , and it did n ' t help . BUT , this Dr . must have hit the right place , cause when lidocain kicked in , I could move my arm . He told me My neck / shoulder muscles were in such spasm last night , when it was hurting so bad , that I could feel , with the other hand , the muscles twitching under the skin . I had put on my coat to come home from work , and that set it off . I cried for an hour . Called specialist - they just said do you want pain med ? I said , no , I have them , they do n ' t help cause I ca n ' t take them and drive . ( I work second shift so ca n ' t take them till bedtime , leaving me 3 / 4 of the day without them ) Then use ice . Well , thanks . So , called family Dr - she ' s out on vacation till week after next , but I can see nurse practioner on Monday . I take flexeril at night , and 50mg of it does n ' t do anything for these spasms . I have zanaflex left from trying it for my fibro a few months ago . I took one of those a couple hours ago . I have just enough left for the weekend . Do any of you have any recommendations for a STRONG muscle relaxer I can ask for when I see the NP on Monday ? Or , any help for me with this darn muscle problem ? I ' m using TENS , heat , menthol rub . After having this for several weeks , I am about to go nuts here .

Granted this was before my Fibro decided to rear it ' s ugly head full force , but imagine it would still be a big help . Anyway that was a while ago , but I know that one is pretty strong . Hope you ' re able to get what you need ! Hugs , jen browneyes259 # 3 one of the medical websites and only came up with 4 muscle relaxers . . . Soma , Norflex , Robaxin and Zanaflex . There were others like Flexeril that are really triciclic ( sp ? ) anti - depressants - but since it ' s not doing the trick ( I have not been happy with it for a while for sleep either - I have taken it for years and I think I have built up tolerance ) I think I need a straight up relaxant . It ' s been about 2 - 1 / 2 hours now since I took the zanaflex , and it does feel a bit better . Wonder how to find out which one of the four above is the strongest as far as the relaxing of the muscles . I do n ' t want a buzz , and I do need to be able to drive . . . . but I could take one when I get up , then it ' s about 6 hours till I drive to work , then I am at work at least 8 hours till I drive again . I had not heard of Robaxin till now ! I wish I could soak the area in the tub , but my tub ' s not big enough / deep enough . Any other ideas to help get me though the weekend ? # 4 tandy You want Soma ! ! ! also known as carisoprodol ( sp ? ) I ' ve had many different muscle relaxers prescribed over the yrs and Soma is the very best . ( but strong ) when I first started taking it I felt very woozy and tired on it . But my body adjusted after awhile . Its heavy duty at relaxing your body ~ flexeril is pretty good but not like Soma . Good luck , . .hope your feeling a bit better soon Hugs Tandy tandy # 5 rrsbaby Works very well for me . I take 350 mg three times a day for my FM , as needed , some days I take only one . Depends on the day . . . . Try it , although it might make you a little sleepy for a while when you first take it . Good luck , rrsbaby rrsbaby # 6 I quit taking the zanaflex when we tried it for the fibro because I could n ' t sleep with it . For some reason it wound me up . I was to take 1 tab every 8 hours but 2 at night . Soma sounds like it might help me all the time , not just now . . . . As my worst problem is muscle spasm . My upper back / shoulders is so tight when I went to the physical therapy that the evaluator said she had never had anyone any tighter . Of course that ' s where my shoulder got hurt , so maybe she did n ' t know what she was talking about ! : - 0 For those of you who take Soma . . . 1 ) do you take it round the clock 2 ) do you take more at night 3 ) does it help with keeping you asleep ?

You have lots of strong stuff to take : how about adding something simple to your list ? Have you tried Vitamin B , a B complex along with extra B6 ? If you already do - great . If not , why not give it a try ? B6 can be REALLY good for muscle relief and release . Just be careful of overdosing .

Maybe after a particularly long soak in the tub I ' ll feel like sleeping . # 9 so you take additional B6 not just a B complex ? What amount , if you do n ' t mind me asking ? When I go to the health food store to look at vitamens , there are so many , and so many doses . I have been just going by the amount recommended on the bottle . And , the magnesium / calcium cream . . . . ok , this is a * * dumb * * question . . . . does it go on the sore area ? If so , I could go through a lot of it ! Do you use it often ? I forgot about adding the peroxide to epsom salts . I wonder if I could soak a towel with that and make a hot pack somehow . Hmmmmm . . . . . . . # 10 Bruin63 Member I am sorry that your having all this pain , I ' ve been there , so I do know how you feel , I have had 2 Rotator Cuff surgery ' s . I have a tear in the RC from a surgery that they were doing on my neck , of all things . Anyway , they tried all the different mr , meds on me . The one that works the best is Soma , at least for me . I take 3 during the day , and one at night . Sometimes if I ' m cramping real bad , I ' ll cut one into 1 / 4 , and take one of them , I do n ' t want to increase my intake anymore by uping the dose . Just need a little extra , on the day ' s I do my chores , ( housework grr ! ) . Are you doing any Range of Motion excerise ' s ? I still use the Pulley , it helps me the best , I will never have full use of my arm , due to the damage that the Neuro - Surgeon cause me , but it dose n ' t hurt all the time , and I can use it at most level ' s , but not above chest - high . Good luck to you , are you seeing an Orthopedic Surgeon ? The one I had in Idaho was lousy , the one , I now have in So Ca . is a Gift from God , he was able to fix it , so that I could use it , instead of losing it . btw , they did n ' t see the Tear , till they were in doing the Scope surgery , it ' s torn the opposite way , from a Normal tear , ( what else when you have Fibro , huh , ? ) So do n ' t worry that the same thing will happen to you , just make sure it ' s taken care of soon , the little tears can become Big one ' s . Please keep us updated on your progress , I know , how much fun this is , Not , as the kids say . Try the SOma , if you can , but becareful driving on them too . sharonk Bruin63 # 11 gmom605 hello , , i ve been taking , , flexeril , , zanaflex , , and soma , , nothing help for me to hard on my stomach and i was getting more depress could n t sleep but my dr . send me to a pain mag . dr . and seems to feel a little better with 12 shots every 2wks , , there mucsle relaxers shots i m sleeping better , , maybe you can try that the shots for awhile see what they do to you , , but i do feel better , , my gmom605 Oct 22 , 2005 # 12 Imthespoiled1 Member By far the strongest muscle relaxer is Robaxin 750 you can drive on it as well after the 2 nd day .

Last Updated : Oct 5th , 2009 3 : 21 pm Tags : amazon . com Search this thread Oct 3rd , 2009 1 : 02 am # 1 zpivat [ OP ] Newbie Jun 22 , 2009 95 posts 1 upvote Scarborough Anyone ever ordered from Amazon . com ? Any duty / custom fees ? Hi redflagdealers , I ' m planning to buy a filter for my camera lens , from Amazon . com , and it costs around US $ 150 to $ 200 . Questions : a . Do Canadians have to pay duty / custom fees when ordering stuff from Amazon . com ( not Amazon . ca ) ? If so , how much ? b . What if I order stuff from another U.S. shop ( anything other than Amazon . com ) , does it make a difference ? Or perhaps it does n ' t matter what store I order from ? c . What about ordering stuff from other countries other than USA ? Do we have to pay duty fees ? d . Under what conditions do Canadians have to pay duty fees ? Thanks ! ! Oct 3rd , 2009 1 : 16 am # 2 Hairball Deal Fanatic Jan 16 , 2004 9353 posts 509 upvotes Markham a . Possibly , at least the sales tax , possibly duties depending on item and its origin . b . If it is from outside Canada and they do not charge Canadian tax no difference . c . Same as b . d . Mail / courier items over $ 20 , gifts over $ 60 . Oct 3rd , 2009 3 : 04 am # 3 CheapScotsman Deal Fanatic Feb 26 , 2004 5655 posts 149 upvotes New Westminster When you import something the following " fees " may be applied ; a ) Duty . This is charged by the Canada Customs based on where the item was made and what the item is . Items made in NAFTA are 0 % . Many other items / countries are also 0 % . Lots of things are n ' t ( like tobacco , alcohol , etc ) . I ' ve not been charged duty on anything in a long time . The only way to be certain is to phone Canada Customs with the item type and place of manufacture and ask . b ) Taxes . This is GST and PST and is applicable to just about everything . Unless you buying something under about $ 60 , expect to pay this c ) Brokerage Fees : This is the ' fee " that the delivery company charges to process your package through Canada Customs . US Postal Service passes their stuff to Canada Post . The fee is flat $ 5 . UPS ( not air expedited ) costs heaps ( UPS Brokerage rates are here : http : / / www . ups . com / content / ca / en / shippi . . . rance . html ) . Most other couriers are similar . Caveat : Some companies have a " deal " with UPS and brokerage is not as expensive ( like newegg ) . . but you need to check first . Oct 3rd , 2009 3 : 13 am # 4 Jucius Maximus Deal Expert Aug 19 , 2005 18339 posts 3020 upvotes GTA West Ignore the other 2 responses , amazon . com has a special deal where they bring it across the border and ship from within Canada . You wo n ' t pay any more than what they say you ' ll pay on the site unless you select Priority shipping . This is a very special deal and the other 2 responses before me are correct for 99 % of other non - Canadian online stores . Please note that this special arrangement does NOT apply to the other amazon international sites . Edit : Since you are ordering a Camera lens , one of the following 2 situations will apply : 1 . You wo n ' t be able to order it because Amazon . com does not ship camera lenses to Canada . 2 . The lens is actually from a third party seller that lists through amazon . com , but not actually sold by amazon . In this case , the normal rules apply as listed by the first 2 sellers . Amazon . com actually ships very few items to Canada . Only Books , CD , DVD , etc . No electronics , software , games , etc . What if there were no hypothetical questions ? Oct 3rd , 2009 8 : 45 pm # 5 Cheap Cat Deal Guru Aug 21 , 2005 10453 posts 2004 upvotes Nowhere Actually ignore Jucius Maximus ' response , he is incorrect . Amazon now charges an Import Fee , to cover customs fees . Why do n ' t you read the info on Amazons site re : international orders ? Products coming from outside the country regardless of the store , are subject to the same customs regulations . CheapScotsman provides a good answer except for b ) which should be under $ 20 ( $ 60 if a gift ) .

( Wife ' s Corolla now ) Before I start , YES I know if I go with an independent garage with after market parts , I can get a much lower quote . However , my question is whether or not this is within reason for a dealership job . I have a 2010 Toyota Matrix XR w / AWD . Mileage as of right now is 86,300km . After taking her in for scheduled servicing this morning , Toyota called me back saying I required a full brake job . Currently , there ' s only 3mm left on the pad and according to them , the safety limit is 2mm . This was the following quote I got from them : Front brakes = $ 404.77 + tax labor - $ 157.50 rotors = $ 162.14 shim kit ( sp ? ) = $ 14.40 pads = $ 70.73 Rear brakes = $ 508.11 + tax ( there ' s some dependency with total price vs . break down she told me over the phone ) labor - $ 210 shim kit ( sp ? ) = $ 44.92 rotors = $ 152.42 pads = $ 70.77 So total would be $ 912.88 + tax ( $ 1,031.55 ) I called an independent garage my in - laws have been using for years and according to them , they ' ll do the job for $ 835 all in with OEM parts . Toyota said they ' d negotiate the price if an independent garage gave a better quote . Is Toyota gouging me beyond what a dealership would normally charge ? EDIT : Just came back from Dettmer Tires on Eramosa in Guelph for a second opinion . The guys were quick and efficient on the check and found that my pads STILL had decent life on all corners ( front 6 / 32 " or 4.7 mm and rear 7 / 32 " or 5.6mm . . . which incidentally is the same measurements I was told I had 16,000km ago from Toyota ) . The only thing they found was the pins were semi - seized due to lack of maintenance . I figured Toyota would take care of that but Thanks RFD !

I would say Yes - unless there is a good explanation for why labour and the shims for the rear brakes cost more than the fronts . I ca n ' t see that AWD would be the reason . Total cost is more than most BMW dealers would charge for a full brake job on an AWD 3 series .

Toyota said they ' d negotiate the price if an independent garage gave a better quote . Is Toyota gouging me beyond what a dealership would normally charge ? As you know , aftermarket prices can be lesser price but , after market price can often cost much more than OEM . Depends on the level of part you want . OEM generally has one level of part , the one approved for use on their cars . Next is labour charge . Because of higher overhead and mechanics pay costs , dealership labour charge is much more than an independent garage ( often well over $ 100 per hour nowadays ) . Warranty ' s are often better at dealers as well , but that is subjective . That all adds up to additional costs . So , tell the dealer you can get a better deal and see what they say . Life is short . . . . . .Make sure you spend as much time as possible on the internet arguing with strangers about politics .

Only way to find out is to call / e - mail 1 or 2 more Toyota dealerships and see how their quotes stack up compared to the quote from this particular Toyota dealership . And call 1 or 2 independents in Guelph as well - i.e no first hand knowledge , but I heard College Auto tech on Waterloo Ave is supposed to be good .

Good points - and I assume dealerships also used book rates for quotes / charging out time . . .which may or may not be in line with the actual time required .

The PS system are closed off but it ' s a good idea to look at the fluid and see there ' s any contaminates that might be picked up else where . The easiest way to do it yourself ( though not the most thorough way ) is to use a good quality turkey baster and suck the old PS fluid out from the PS fluid reservoir and put new fluid in . Start your car and turn the wheels side to side and circulate the fluids a bit . Suck the PS fluid out again ( it should be closer to the new fluid colour ) and add more PS fluid .

If these parts degrade the fluid becomes dirty . This dirty fluid risks clogging up / hampering the efficiency of the power steering system . Now , whether a modern power steering system has parts inside that degrade ( or rust ) I do n ' t know .

It is nice to say these things and follow whatever path you personally choose but , if advising people , you really need to have some facts and back yourself up with evidence . I have the most experience with BMW ' s so I ' ll use them as an example . . .every since they introduced ' free maintenance " , many regular maintenance intervals were either pushed back or eliminated completely even though they are using the exam same fluids / parts ( ie . same part numbers ) Before the free maintenance program , these were the recommendations from BMW : automatic transmission fluid ( ATF ) and filter changes every 15,000 miles , manual gearbox and differential oil changes every 30,000 miles , annual brake fluid changes , and coolant changes every two years . Spark plugs , air filter , and fuel filters were typically replaced every 30,000 miles on most BMWs ( this is a tune - up ) except M cars up to 1995 , which got new spark plugs and a valve adjustment every 15,000 . Magically , when BMW started offering free maintenance , the 1,200 - mile break - in service was done away with except for M cars . Engine oil suddenly lasts 15,000 miles ( dealers are supposed to use BMW synthetic oil ) . Manual gearbox and differential oil ? No worries there – now BMW says they NEVER need to be changed , it ’ s “ lifetime fill . ” ( anyone here who has changed their own fluids should know there is NO such thing as a lifetime fluid ) Brake fluid and coolant service intervals were doubled May 4th , 2010 11 : 18 pm # 13 bunga Aug 7 , 2005 1683 posts 106 upvotes Engineering and marketing sometimes disagree with each other . These days every manufacturer is fighting the other to offer the car that requires the least amount of maintenance so they can market it on the showroom floor . Further the Germans are including the maintenance for the first three years or whatever into the cost of some of their cars , the less maintenance " needed " , the nicer their bottom line . Short term , obviously the car will be fine , long term is a question mark however . I ' ve seen some of GM ' Honda for instance , made the mistake of moving their cars to 96k km from 48k km for the first transmission fluid change a while back .

Engineering results ? Engineering analysis ? An educated guess ? Empirical evidence ? Rectal pluck ? May 5th , 2010 12 : 39 am # 14 bunga Engineering and marketing sometimes disagree with each other . These days every manufacturer is fighting the other to offer the car that requires the least amount of maintenance so they can market it on the showroom floor . Further the Germans are including the maintenance for the first three years or whatever into the cost of some of their cars , the less maintenance " needed " , the nicer their bottom line . Short term , obviously the car will be fine , long term is a question mark however . I ' ve seen some of GM ' Honda for instance , made the mistake of moving their cars to 96k km from 48k km for the first transmission fluid change a while back . End result was a lot of transmission failures , the transmissions were weak to begin with , but the extra fluid interval definitely did not help matters .

Same thing for Honda motors when they moved from 6k km oil change interval to 8k km , nothing catastrophic but things like oil burning and So yes , definitely follow the owner ' s manual on the upper limit , but also keep in mind reasonable mileage limitations Yup , with their new service intervals , these cars are guaranteed to last at least until the warranty is up . . . 5 - 10 years after that , who knows I definitely would never wait 15 - 20,000 km for an oil change , synthetic or not , regardless of what the ' manual ' says May 5th , 2010 1 : 31 am # 15 JohnB Sep 6 , 2002 6630 posts 960 upvotes I have the most experience with BMW ' s so I ' ll use them as an example . . .every since they introduced ' free maintenance " , many regular maintenance intervals were either pushed back or eliminated completely even though they are using the exam same fluids / parts ( ie . same part numbers ) Before the free maintenance program , these were the recommendations from BMW : automatic transmission fluid ( ATF ) and filter changes every 15,000 miles , manual gearbox and differential oil changes every 30,000 miles , annual brake fluid changes , and coolant changes every two years . Spark plugs , air filter , and fuel filters were typically replaced every 30,000 miles on most BMWs ( this is a tune - up ) except M cars up to 1995 , which got new spark plugs and a valve adjustment every 15,000 . Magically , when BMW started offering free maintenance , the 1,200 - mile break - in service was done away with except for M cars . Engine oil suddenly lasts 15,000 miles ( dealers are supposed to use BMW synthetic oil ) . Manual gearbox and differential oil ? No worries there – now BMW says they NEVER need to be changed , it ’ s “ lifetime fill . ” ( anyone here who has changed their own fluids should know there is NO such thing as a lifetime fluid ) Brake fluid and coolant service intervals were doubled Yes this is a good post I agree . Is it 100 % necessary to change it ? No . But some people like to do preventative work , or change stuff before the period , like the owner of the Lexus with 290,000km someone bought on this forum .

As other posters have said , Virgin Mobile Canada uses sublets from CDMA based vendors . You can get unlocked GSM phones relatively cheap that will work on Rogers .

You can get unlocked GSM phones relatively cheap that will work on Rogers . If you have access to a used Virgin Mobile handset , I recommend going with Virgin Mobile , because their rates are best , if you ask me ( if your airtime use will be relatively low ) Far from it . If you do n ' t use much it ' s quite a bit cheaper to go with 711 which runs the Rogers network ( or PetroCanada , although I do n ' t know much about them ) . 30c / min vs 20c / min 15c texts vs 4 cent texts ( but charged to receive them as well ) Call timer starts when phone starts ringing vs call starts when the person picks up IIRC a $ 25 card expires after two months on Virgin vs a 25 card that lasts a year on 7 - 11 ( although if you but the 25 or 50 cards from 711 , your calling rate is bumped to 25c / min and 5c / texts ) Not to mention all the issues I had when I was with VM ( almost all of them stemming from Bell ' s network ) . I could n ' t get a signal through most of my campus , was impossible to send texts in most of Toronto ' s PATH system , I had issues sending texts to non - Bell phones , and it would not alert me when I missed a call . Virgin WAS competitive for low - end uses , but after 2 price increases and other issues I ' m MUCH happier with 7 / 11 .

Get a better saddle : www . kontactbike . com # 10 Jetmugg Sep 2010 374 Carbon steel is ferromagnetic . 400 series stainless steels in hardened and tempered form are ferromagnetic . 300 series stainless steels are not . That ' s not really important . The way tension gages work is to rely on Young ' s Modulus ( E ) for any given material . For all steels , this value is approximated by 29 x 10 6th . It is a unitless measure . Unless your wheels are something very exotic , you will have steel spokes , and the tension meter will work just fine .

thing that would require you to take an out in that position is if you dont have a valid sub or the position was vacated by an offensive ejection in E An offensive ejection is an out every time that

offensive ejection is an out every time that spot in the line up comes up as long as properly appealed In USAASA Softball you are not permitted to play shorthanded as a result of an ejection If you had someone who could not continue for other reasons and had to go shorthanded then yes you would take an automatic out in that position when the player is due to bat no appeal would be necessary for that to happen in a shorthanded situation Not sure what USSSA does but I believe it is the same If you do not have a sub for an ejected player the game is over by forfiet 7 LIKEUCM Oct 9 2017

does not have the ejection for home runs in E that you noted We used to have an inning ending home run in E Recent rule changes now just makes a home run in E an out Even with the rule you noted for excess home runs in E I believe that would be a disqualified player for hitting the home run and not an ejection You may go shorthanded as a result of a disqualified player but just not because of an

on me Discussion in Audio Hardware started by nukevor Aug 31 2010 Thread Status Not open for further replies 1 2 3 4 nukevor Active Member Thread Starter Location CA A few years before I discovered this forum I got one of those toploading Wave Radio CD players I reckon from 1999 The radio clock and alarm still work Up until last week the CD player worked Now it doesnt recognize any compact discs Tried to reboot it unplug but no dice Of course the transport must be shot from what Ive learned here on the forums What a buzz kill Its been a great little unit Not worth it to fix unless someone tells me otherwise One of its cool features was the ability to listen to a CD as an alarm wakeup Unless I see something magical that will make me fork over the dough am not looking for a replacement NonBose anytime soon Ifwhen I cross that bridge the build quality should be fantastic Conversely the few and far between SACD minisystems weve seen on this forum are way too expensive and not worth the dough nukevor Aug 31 2010 1 White and Blue Active Member Location Vermont USA No eye rolling here Bose products are pretty solid for what they are compact lifestyle devices with an inoffensive house sound If you want the wakeup feature and have an iPod touch or iPhone theres plenty of decent docks for 100 JBL makes some nice compact ones that are worth checking out If you really love the wave I see older models fairly cheap on eBay but I dont know if they all have the CD wakeup feature White and Blue Aug 31 2010 2 ex_mixer Forum Resident Location New Jersey Hey Nukevor I have one of these systems too they are decent units I fell they do a nice job Mine is in my home office and it fills up the small room with great sound I got it in 2000 and in 04 it was damaged from a spike in AC during a storm I called Bose and they repaired it for 99 Its been working ever since I prefer the top loader to the new slot loading model I can play the 3 CD singles in it and CDs from my local library they place metal security strips on the top of the CDs and they are a nightmare in slot loading machines Anywhoo no eye rolling from me sorry to hear your unit is having problems Try calling Bose and see if they can repair it at a decent price For me 100 bucks was a sound investment cheers ex_mixer ex_mixer Aug 31 2010 3 KeithH Success With Honorthen and now Location Beaver Stadium Perhaps this is the response you are looking for Your Bose Wave Radio isnt working properly Why does it sound good now Seriously sorry to hear about this I imagine it isnt so easy to find a clock radio with a CD player these days but I havent looked for one in awhile Does Bose still make the Wave Radio KeithH Aug 31 2010 4 cdash99 Forum Resident Location Mass Years ago I came to the conclusion that the Cambridge Soundworks radios performed just as well as their Bose counterparts at 12 the cost At that price point should a unit crap out on me after 68 years Ill have at least gotten my moneys worth out of it cdash99 Aug 31 2010 5 Thermionic Dude Forum Resident Im not convinced your transport is truly shot Its entirely possible that it still has some useful life left and just needs a cleaning Since its a toploader you should have easy access to the pick up lens and my first move would be to give it a cleaning The safest way to do this is to moisten a cotton swab dont use qtips because the cotton tip sheds too much lint use swabs intended for electronics with some isopropyl alcohol and CAREFULLY swab the lens Dont use much pressure and dont wipe it multiple times The best type of isopropanol to use is anhydrous because it will evaporate the quickest but youll probably have to order it from an electronics supplier like MCM Also its probably worth checking the gears and sled assembly because after ten years the grease used to lubricate these parts has deteriorated and hardened and might actually be causing the sled to move erratically Cleaning this up is a bit more involved because the transport will have to be removed use the same isopropyl alcohol and swabs to clean the old grease out then apply some fresh grease but it might bring things back to life if lens cleaning has no effect These things may or may not work but are very cheap and in the case of lens cleaning quick and probably worth a try if you are otherwise satisfied with the unit Oh yeah I have absolutely nothing against Bose at all so no eyerolling here They build unique products with good quality control and decent parts quality and have the reputation for excellent customer service Audiophiles bashing Bose is a nonstarter as far as Im concerned its about as stupid as when car geeks bash Toyota for building boring cars Neither Toyota nor Bose market to the enthusiast crowd and ARE NOT competing for this segment of consumers Toyotas focus is building reliable cars and marketing them more as appliances to normal people who use them for transportation while Boses focus

marketing They have succeeded in their endeavor of convincing average people that they make a superior product Such is life The only Bose product I have ever considered is their noisecanceling headset and as of yet I have not even demoed one I have heard some of their smaller players and thought they sounded OK for their size but nothing out of the ordinary as compared to other manufacturers Logitechs offerings their Squeezeboxesque clock radio and boom box sound very very nice for the size and they integrate with my entire music library and are priced very nicely Ill likely never even

Thermionic Dudeyoull find all you need to know about power cords interconnects and electricity conditioning improvements above and beyond one brand name Bose bases its marketing on the implication that they not only invented the wheel but theyve also got the patent My point is simply that many companies targeting the audiophile market have made similarly outlandish claims yet do not receive the scorn that Bose does I singledout power cables only because it was the first thing that came to mind and cable manufacturers are some of the worst offenders IMO when it comes to marketing claims Marketing is an essential function of consumeroriented businesses the fact that Bose has successfully positioned themselves as the reinventor of the wheel is neither good nor bad its just evidence that they have a very competent effective marketing department I realize that there are myriad cheaper bettersounding routes to musical satisfaction than Bose but this misses the point BOSE DOES NOT TARGET OUR DEMOGRAPHIC Bose targets the technophobe demographic who just wants ease of use unobtrusive appearance and roomfilling sound No one does this better than Bose While its true that other companies make gear with similar formfactor and audio performance at a lower price these alternatives are more techy which makes a lot of folks nervous You could take someone like my grandmother and point out that a Polk or Cambridge unit is cheaper and bettersounding than the No intent to derail this thread I actually tried to give a thoughtful answer to the OPs question in my first response but

White and Blue Active Member Location Vermont USA Successful companies advertise A company as large as Bose needs to be aggressive and proactive to stay on top revenuewise A boutique speaker

Audio Hardware started by fxsuperglide Jan 2 2012 Thread Status Not open for further replies fxsuperglide Active Member Thread Starter Location York PA 17402 United States Last year I got ahold of a Bogen B62 turntable for cheap since it didnt really function as it should idler tire dried out and slipping I also discovered the tonearm which seems ok in most respects has some issues with the headshell and attaching collar might be fixable perhaps just a missing guide pin on the headshell itself Upon trying to do some other tests and before spending 75100 on an idler wheel I determined there were some other issues and decided to go the major modification route instead besides Im not too fond of the stock setup anyhow Oh and as for the rest of the turntable Im not so sure I have any use for it so perhaps Im going to put it out there ebay agon etc and see if any Lenco guys might be interested in the remaining parts I might still try to save the tonearm either for the modified version of this project or perhaps for another custom build not sure yet I sure am looking forward to doing this custom build using the Lenco platter Attached Files Bogen B62 Lenco L70 1jpg File size

L75 on ebay for spares and got pretty good money theres definitely a market for parts out there one day Ill finally get my idler project sorted Dubmart Jan 2 2012 2 fxsuperglide Active Member Thread Starter Location York PA 17402 United States I was am quite surprised what these seem to be selling for I looked up Lenco and it appears that one virtually identical to mine a model L70 in excellent condition of course sold for 349 I guess there is a market for these turntables In fact the first time I heard of the brand I was talking to a former Linn Sondek LP12 owner who swore by his Lenco I believe he had the L75 model Now I guess with all the talk about it combined with an interest in good sounding vintage tables the Lenco seems to be As for my planned custom unit Im still deciding whether I want to go with an external rim drive idler or go with a belt drive setup similar to the Micro Seiki and some early Empire models Im guessing that the latter setup will result in less noiserumble but if the former is isolated enough and has a smooth tire surface with a good quality bearing itll be quiet enough fxsuperglide Jan 3 2012 3 Tony L Forum Resident Location UK My advice would be to fix it up and try it out You may be rather surprised Ive got an older L70 dating from 1963 With a suitable period cartridge in this case a Shure M3D it sounds surprisingly good in fact it was the deck that inspired me to sell a very nice Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck and try some idler drive decks I now have a Garrard 301 and a Thorens TD124II as well The L70 when working correctly is great fun and Im certain that comes from its drive system Its also the easiest of the vintage idler decks to work on as the motor and main bearing are both simple and very effective Youll need to find a new idler though as PS lots of info on Lenco Heaven Tony L Jan 3 2012 4 Ghostworld likes this kt66brooklyn Forum Resident Location brooklyn ny Lencos command a high price because they are true giant killers when fixed up properly To the degree that they are one of the best turntables out there If it were mine I would restore it to its original function and install it in a heavy plinth They also

motor mounting stud and possibly retensioning the springs so the idler wont slip I have to try and find a replacement idler wheel I just looked online and apparently the source that was manufacturing the wheels for around 100 or so is no longer So again I will have to rerethink this whole exact restoration vs modified custom idea If I were to restore it with the original drive setup I would

install where the original arm is mounted emphasis added Ive had both a LencoasLenco and LencorebadgedasBogen They had different arms the Bogens looked like that in the OPs photo but my experience was that both tracked very poorly Moreover these arms do not take standard headshells I suppose my problems could have been a case of cartridge mismatches worn pivots or whatnot but the basis of what I experienced Id say that replacing the arm is not merely a to sing best but a must The great advantage of the Lenco is its ability to provide true infinitely variable speed over an extremely wide range making it ideal for those of us who collect acoustic 78s notoriously unstandardized sometimes running as high as 90 or more and usually 78 in name only On the downside the Lenco design has the idler running on the underside of the platter not the rim and if out of adjustment that arrangement can generate truly mindboggling levels of rumble drh Jan 9 2012 11 McLover likes this McLover Forum

design it has ball races in both planes Its a very strange design having a pair of springs to balance the arm and apply tracking weight but if in perfect condition it is capable of surprising results Mine pictured earlier on the thread sounds far better than it has any right one would assume from looking at it Id still go for a better more modern more versatile arm if I was using it as a main turntable as the mass and lack of accurate alignment limits cartridge choice Tony L Jan 9 2012 14 McLover likes this Plinko Forum Resident Location usa I agree TonyL With low compliance cartridges the arm is nice Plinko Jan 9 2012 15 fxsuperglide Active Member Thread Starter Location York PA 17402 United States Im still considering the practicality of restoring the original turntable First I have to make sure the motor and associated bushings are still good Then I have to repair the broken stud I have a welder or other means of fixing it Then I have to make sure the 3 motor support springs are the correct tension as well as the idler tension spring for it all to work correctly I believe the latter and possibly the former or both were causing me problems Third finding the original or aftermarket idler tire with metal base not plastic Perhaps way too fxsuperglide Jan 15 2012 16 nm_west Forum Resident Location Abq NM USA fxsuperglide said Im still considering the practicality of

27 2006 Thread Status Not open for further replies Hankster New Member Thread Starter Location Minneapolis Wisconsin Well all I know is these old babies SPX series from the mid to late 70s are demanding pretty high prices on EBay right now A set of the SPX9900 just sold for 560 and a pair of the SPX9700s are at 500 as we speak So Late last night someone listed a pair of the SPX8000s for 199 buy it now Hmm I couldnt help myself and did it Here they are Sure hope I like em SP X Series These speakers were built during Sansuis heydays between 1975 and 1979 Hankster Jan 27 2006 1 DrJ Forum Resident Location Davis CA USA I cant coment on the SPX series from personal experience but my guess is youre going to be happy My father has a pair of Sansui SP2000s which are very nice he paid drum roll 50 for a MINT pair no shipping as he lived by the guy and picked them up Based on how much I enjoyed hearing those I have a pair of SP3000s on the way should be delivered TODAY At 250 for the pair the 3000s sell for a bit more seem more in demand than the 2000s it was just too hard to pass them up I believe the SP series is a little earlier than the SPX looks like the SPX stuff was made at the peak of the monster amplifier era circa early 70s The SPX stuff looks like its very much the same as the SP stuff in terms of design approach just bigger in keeping with the power wars of that time period Heres some stuff on the SP series Sansui SP series speakers The specs on the SP series are pretty darn solid SP3000s have a sensitivity of 105 dbwatt not just a single point spec either Sansui provides a normal listening conditions testing curve across the frequency spectrum and sensitivity stays in that range pretty much all the way The SP2000s are around 96 or 98 dbwatt as I recall Very tube friendly speakers IMHO great for low wattage output tube gear like my 8 wpc SET 300B Important to me because as good as my Zingali speakers are at 91 dbwatt sensitivity I have basically no head room to occasionally crank I never really thought Id go for speakers with multiple crossovers and a big 15 woofer etc the 2000s have a 12 woofer runs counter to my usual biases but I just love the way the 2000s sounded The presence is amazing and they are a great match for vintage tubes YOU ARE THERE and the midrange is supreme A really nice vintage gear bargain IMHO these Sansui speakers I know there is a major major bias about Japanese speakers on this forum and many others Ive frequented so I would anticipate a series of pans of the SPs and SPXs just on principle But I trust my ears with a vintage 30 wpc Fisher tube amp driving them my dads SP2000s sound FANTASTIC That tom roll right before Wellthe rain exploded line in the title track of Steves BAND ON THE RUN DCC CD literally hit me in the gut and took the wind out of me closest Ive ever heard a speaker come to reproducing the sound Heck at 250 or about 120th of what I paid for my Zingali Overture 2s pair they will if nothing else tide me over until I can afford a pair of Tannoys I think these old boys are really cool looking too DrJ Jan 27 2006 2 Hankster New Member Thread Starter Location Minneapolis Wisconsin What I discovered from some online audio reviews are yes they are very tube friendly dont take much power to drive them dont have the subwoofer kind of bass you would expect from a 16 woofer but the soundstage is spacious and precise Also I am a little concerned about 4 way crossovers too having been schooled 2 way crossover with 500 800 cycles is spot on I have a feeling they will complement ye old HUGE 125 lb Karlson Speakers BIG TIME BASS along with da vintage SS receiver from the same era Anyways they sure look cool and Im having a lot of fun putting together a vintage system without spending a Kings ransom I know there is a major major bias about Japanese speakers on this forum and many others Ive frequented so I would anticipate a series of pans of the SPs and SPXs just on principle But I trust my ears with a vintage 30 wpc Fisher tube amp driving them my dads SP2000s sound FANTASTIC That tom roll right before Wellthe rain exploded line in the title track of Steves BAND

Hankster Jan 27 2006 3 DrJ Forum Resident Location Davis CA USA Im going to steer clear of that last comment with a 10 foot pole The SP2000s of my dads dont have subwoofer bass and Im not expecting it from the SP3000s even with the 15 woofers But thats OK because I actually hate subwoofer bass I often turn off the subwoofer in our home theater set up It just aint natural to meif I had wanted that I would just have gone ahead and added a sub to my listening rig DrJ Jan 27 2006 4 Hankster New Member Thread Starter Location Minneapolis Wisconsin Subwoofer Rap Fart Can Hankster Jan 27 2006 5 DrJ Forum Resident Location Davis CA USA Got the SP3000s today Nice but I have to say it may be crow eating timeperhaps the rap on Japanese speakers is right on target These are really quite midrangy not much low bass to speak of despite the big woofer Im not talking subwoofer range but really theres very little true bass of any kind more like low midrange Bummer especially because the midrange is indeed fantastic on these YOU ARE THERE and the high end aint bad either And the advertised sensitivity of 105 dbwatt I believe I barely have to turn the volume up on the preamp to get really comfortable listening volume But theyre just way too light on the bottom end So so far kind of disappointedthey dont sound nearly as nice with my gear as they did with my dads SP2000s did with his My Zingalis blow them out of the water bass wise despite having a woofer about 12 the size of that on the Sansuissometimes you never know how good what you got is until you start looking around DrJ Jan 28 2006 6 Hankster New Member Thread Starter Location Minneapolis Wisconsin I hope the new old SPX8000s fit in along with da big Karlson K15s The K15s have fantastic bass but are a little weak in the upper end The plan is run A K15s B X8000s together for that perfect mix Heres an ad for the SP3000s Hankster Jan 29 2006 7 fjhuerta New Member Location México City Tony I had always lusted after a pair of Kenwood speakers my grandma has They have this big 15 woofer two tweeters and the horn midrange plus LPads everywhere I took them home to clean them and to give them back to her obviously what I wanted to do was to listen to them and my impressions were the same as yours The midrange was there the sensitivity was there some highs were even there but bass was absent fjhuerta Jan 29 2006 8 Hankster New Member Thread Starter Location Minneapolis Wisconsin Heres a review of the Sansui X Series Reviewed by Jacques DHondt Audio Enthusiast from Brussels Belgium Price Paid 360 at second hand Product Model Year Pre 1995 Summary First dont blame me if my english suffers from some defaults I am french speaking and thus writing After the reading of all your comments I have thinked that I should absolutely find a pair Its done since only one week ago I own now a pair of Sansui X8000 in nice condition At this time and despite the unusual expansive price for me I have really no regret First impressions The first thing I have noted is the great rigidity of its geant woofer membrane try to push it with your fingers and youll see Nothing to see with the most foam or rubber suspension ring For me this is one of its most remarkable quality but perhaps its biggest flaw for some I explain some have said that they have heard deeper bass coming out from only 10 inches woofer I suppose with foam or rubber suspension Ok at low level but try to play for example StGermain at high level with this sort of woofer the membrane dont know more where she is after the first loud bass sound There is a lot of chance that you just get a infamous soup like almost all these homecinema active subwoofers Its right the X8000 dont extend the deep bass as long as others because of its so rigid membrane but I repeat thats a great and Xrare quality One of my brother is a percusionist So I know very well the real sound of this rich instrumental family Believe me or not but I have never heard before so accurate and realistic restitutions its almost perfect like live sessions Just a little lack of depth or of laxity for the more slack of this family the big kettledrum its always the same explanation Ill be back later for a more extended review on these amazing X8000 I must first let play them all sort of musics In the meantime if you can find a pair of X8000 or an equivalent around or under 400 in a nice condition dont hesitate one second get them Philisophical conversation but finally perhaps less that it seems Like humans cars and hifi gears we know all here that they are bad good and excellent speakers A Jeep and a Rolls can both give great satisfactions but generally not in the same context In the same idea I think that none speaker can play all perfectly and this without talk about the subjective side of the thing I know people how have spent a lot of bucks to acquire so called top hifi gears They try to convince themselves that they have reached the Audio Nirvana But sorry men and women none of these monsters make me feel enthousiast all the time and sometimes not at all There are so many linked and evolutive factors thats practically impossible to get all from one orthodox installation Quality of recording kind of music room characterictics levels genetics age education personal taste mood atmoshere moment circumstances etc Do you think that you can fine tune all these factors with just one pair of speakers and without speaking about the others links Even the Audio Nirvana owners dont think that possible Otherwise why most of them spent continiously others bucks in expansive accessories like highend cables filters converters and regularly change the position of their speakers when it is not downright the cover of walls or even their house You can certainly get great music with just one pair But not all the time and certainly not for all the music all the spectrum and all the people perhaps you in a few months of years In my case all my gears and speakers are second hand and most often vintage models I have never bought new ones its against my modest wallet but thanks force me to try others roads as often in that case And nevertheless I own more than 15 pairs of speakers almost all bought between 5 and 100 and as much amplifiers integrated or receivers I have tested one by one almost all the associations The results are very different Some are bad others just correct certain good to beautiful and a few really amazing But never I have found THE system reached the my total satisfaction all the way I have also tried with two pairs on the same gear Some results are very good and even best than with just one pair But you know the difficulty to erase or to balance the differences caused by the sensibility the impedance and when desired the coloration I have speakers with very good and tight bass but wretched mids and highs and others rather with opposite qualities Playing together on the same gear you get the best of each one but unfortunately also the worse because you can not equalize them separately Obviously I could disassemble them and then reassemble the good parts together But its not so easy filter and case problems the results are uncertain and probably sometimes worse Moreover I am not a speaker manufacturer and above all I dont want to modify or disfigure these charming old babies So no simple solution Maybe this time this way and sorry for the purist I have linked all my sources on one gear and then linked this first to another and sometimes even more thru monitors inputoutput line level Then you have understand I can now link different speakers to different gears with the obvious consequence that I can also equalize them separately Ok I can not totally erase some defaults but I promise that you can now reach unbelievable and varied summits with a tiny investment Just one word about equalization I know men who the less there is of buttons on a gear the more they are ready to pay dearly I call this a nonsense a purist attitude Do they imagine how much the sounds they hear thru their highend equipment are so far from the reality they want they search and they pay for The reality here of the music has nothing to see with the money and the principes Why do we must get the music with all the modifications or defaults accumulated from the mike to the speakers mike quality and specificity sound taking mixage studio equalization yes they do it mastering And then at home your sources amplifier preamplifier and finally your speakers aah yes I forgot all the wires And I dont speak about all these old remasterized recording I like Jazz and have a lot of exatcly the same recording on vinyl and on CD I let you guess which are mostly the best Fortunately on these old good gears there is a lot of buttons and filters which help us to recreate our originals sounds in function of our memories our taste our being Note that once my tuning is done I listen to the music not to my walls gears sources cables speakers and whatever elselike many but not all more fortunated In one of these reviews someone complaints about the too many drivers in the X8000 Honestly has it concluded this with just his ears I really doubt about Sometimes I let play up to six speakers pairs toghether And if I can easely hear the difference when I switch them onoff in all the combinations I can never exactly say how many drivers are playing Oohh dear there is really very happy wedding and not only to my ears Its just my experience and I share it If you have at least two pairs of speakers give them and you a chance to play in duet Its authorized amusing indeed even exciting and absolutely free I use standard electrical wires for my tests When one has too much money or in more general too much means one often loses a part of its imagination and its personality Simply because one uses them less or because the others use that one more At your speakers humans Strengths For me the greatest quality is without any doubt the general superb keeping of the membranes medium and woofer Bass are very tight Also sharp and accurate highs Weaknesses The other side of the medal I mean relatively dry medium and bass but not cold at all Similar Products Used A lot of vintage speakers from Kef BW Philips Jamo Canton AR etc Hankster Jan 29 2006 9 DrJ Forum Resident Location Davis CA USA Well I hope your SPXs work out better for you than my SPs did Hankster I cant imagine that a very immaculate pair of MC30s like mine wouldnt have enough oomph to drive the 15 woofer so I can only conclude that the SP3000s themselves just dont reproduce bass well despite the impressive cone Your mileage may vary and who knows maybe a mega watt output amp will do the trick paired with the SPXs Keep us posted DrJ Jan 29 2006 10 Hankster New Member Thread Starter Location Minneapolis Wisconsin Well I discovered the seller listed his item earlier and reserve wasnt met Anyways he described more about how they sound with his earlier listing Heres his take I agree with first reviewer here most others too but Bass may depend very much on your amp The great thing about these speakers is they are great for refined listening as well as rock where it may be preferable to supliment with a fast subwoofer You can get all the sound pressure you want at 99db sensitivity even from a lesser powered amp and get exceptionally sounding rock Never turn any amp into clipping but I believe these are also exceptionally durable I see eBay sellers try to sell individual Sansui drivers removed from questionable cabinets most likely and Hankster Jan 29 2006 11 gener8tr Forum Resident Location Vancouver WA USA I have a pair of vintage SPX7s and they are FANTASTIC for rock metal that I

Minneapolis Wisconsin Two big boxes sitting by the front door yesterday Christmas again Had to hook em up right away At this point I can say the Sansui SPX8000s sound very crisp and clean BASS These speakers lack in that department at least at low power levels BUT having a pair of HUGE old school big time bass speakers below this babies the Sansuis seem very small and running em together music sounds about perfect Pics of system to be posted later So my take of these speakers You got to have some serious woofers subwoofers running along with these Sansuis to get great sound from 20 to 20000 cycles Not sure if my hearing is that good Anyways I wouldnt be happy with these Sansuis without other monster bass speakers to even things out Hankster Feb 4 2006 13 indy mike Forum Pest Location Somewhere in the middle The missing bass is partially due to the small size of the box for such a large driver that box is under 3 cu ft internal volume The anechoic response curve is pretty flat down to 70 hz then rolls off pretty rapidly after that The woofer cone is probabaly pretty light with a stiff suspension with a short throw that would help th sensitivity rating indy mike Feb 4 2006 14

Pontiacman2 Posts : 8956 Joined : 09 / 08 Posted : 03 / 07 / 11 07 : 13 AM Ok if I looked upthe right cam it has a .513 / .498 lift and with work but will leave some power on the table . Also if using factory vortec heads you will need to have the guide bosses machined for proper clearance . Yes the Holley 750 3310 willl work very well with this setup for peak performance but if peak performance is not a concern the edelbrock 600 will be ok . Professional Hi - performance engine builder 67 . c10 Posts : 9 Posted : 03 / 07 / 11 10 : 36 AM I had no idea the guide bosses would require reworking , for this application . I contacted CompCams about this . They informed me that their setup would not require more work on the heads . I tend to trust you guys a little more , beacause , you folks live and breathe horsepower . The kit the guy is trying to sell me comes with bee hive springs , titanium locks , push rods , roller tips and roller rockers , and the cam . The other question I have for you guys is , what should the timing Posted : 03 / 07 / 11 11 : 43 AM Ok the clearance issue on factory vortecs is the guide to retainer clearance they are only good to a max of 450 lift . Posted : 03 / 07 / 11 11 : 50 AM This leads us to valvesprings , which require the most attention in a performance application . Since this is an OEM iron head , GM designed the valve guide to also serve as the inside diameter ( id ) locating device for the valvesprings . The guide ? s large diameter acts like a sleeve that keeps the single - wire valvespring located > > properly . The guide is also machined at the top to mount a positive - style , 0.560 - inch - diameter valve - guide seal . All of this conspires to limit total valve Accommodating more valve lift requires modifications to the valvespring seat and valve - guide areas of the head . The best route is to increase the spring - seat diameter from the standard 1.25 inches to 1.440 inches . Both Comp and Crane offer tools that use a valve - guide arbor to position the cutter . The Comp Cams cutter increases the spring - seat diameter while simultaneously reducing the outside diameter ( od ) of the guide boss . The Crane tool also cuts the valve - guide - seal diameter at the same time . Comp sells Once these machining operations have been completed , you have the choice of several aftermarket valvesprings to match your cam profile . These machining operations will produce enough clearance to allow between 0.525 - and 0.550 - inch valve lift before running into valvespring coil - bind . Given a 1.440 - inch valvespring seat diameter , Comp and Crane offer several single and dual springs that will work with the stock valves .

As they become more and more available the price for mods has come down more too . There was an 5.3 LS put in a 72 Nova in the April issue of CHP . It ran 8.59 @ 81 NA which is about 13.40 - 13.50 in the 1 / 4 . This is very respectable performance and they claimed that the salvage yard motor / trans plus the aftermarket electronics to make it work came to only 2500 .

in until now The power output varies for the ports on a Dell some offer the higher milliamps to power devices and the difference is that some are double the power of others on their laps Of course USB 3 will accept and work with any USB 2 device so dont leave them out Another power issue is trying to run on internal battery vs outlet and power adapter You said you tried it on another Lap On there you say it shows up under my pc location No idea what that is in the Device Manager I looked on my PCs and dont see anything of that title Of course the USB device has to be plugged into the Lap in order for it to show up in the Device Manger I realize that some of this you might know but just need to make sure we are on the same page With the USB device plugged in your Device Manager must look like this Without those 2 entries it isnt going to happen One is not enough and there should not be one with Exclamation Mark like you see in my picture by Multimedia Video Controller subsequently

Same here after installing the Dice FM - USB modulator . Only the strongest AM stations come in and there is static . What has been especially confusing is that to try and troubleshoot where the issue is coming from , I disconnected power and signal from the modulator and connected the motorola antenna cables going to and from the modulator ( from the 9 volt connectors on the glass ) to each other , in effect restoring the direct link from the window antenna into the antenna amp and to the head unit . Even this did not help I wish I could get it solved as I also listen to AM ( news , traffic and yess , hockey ) . 01 : 57 PM # 16 Another thought as this pertains to the FM mod screwing up the AM signal is if there is a way to tap into the secondary FM diversity antenna on the rear window on a V50 for the modulator signal .

I ' m going to go into the dealer and let them install their " brass fitting " if that does n ' t work , I ' m going to order this part number for the AFM ( volvo 30737918 ) BRILLIANT PDF write - up here : http : / / volvo . philipfotos . com / English . . .ll _ver_6_5 . pdf As well here is the TNN and part no . ask dealer to look up TNN # 39 - 35 and give you a copy , if purchased . part # 30657370 is the part number for that brass antenna tab .

I ask " okay sir , where do you plug in , the OBD port ? " He says , yes , there . I tell him that typically does n ' t store faults of a failing AFM module but i say okay how much is it . " $ 100 to diagnose , and then whatever the parts and problem are , we charge again for those " So I ask , is it typically the AFM module located in the rear that converts the signal ( as per my previous post ) . He says no typically it ' s the IAM module ( i ' ll take his word for it ) but he does n ' t know how much it ' ll cost because all of the jobs he ' s done are typically covered under warranty . I ask him , please find out as I want to know if it ' s worth it to me to fix . He then comes $ 140 - $ 40 for the part - $ 100 for the labour . . . .FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I ' m going in tomorrow . 11 - 16 - 2010 , 10 : 22 PM # 23 Global Moderator Jun 2004 Eastern MA 8,580 Anyways they told me that if there ' s an issue with the AM radio , they need to diagnose it and plug into the car because it ' ll store a fault code .

Volvos are so marked up on parts as well as service and I thought I was being taken for a ride ( heh ) . Thanks for the input guys , Kyle there was intermittent , signal for like one station change and now nothing , dead . Is it essentially AFM needing replacement ? If they do the software update and it DOES N ' T work , I should be saying replace that AFM for me under that same umbrella cost ?

I wonder if there is a communications app in vida that allows you to test the AFM . I know there will be fault trace information if there is a fault stored but with no codes hard to know where to go . I guess the only thing that irritates me is that they are charging a full hour labor for a SW download that takes literally 5 minutes to do including hooking up the battery stabilizer . We only charged a half which every now and then we would run into some problems so was a nice cushion . Id try to barter with them on the price for the download .

I went to the dealer and they charged me 1 hr diagnostic fee ( they could ' ve done this in 20 minutes with 6 bays free ) . Charged me $ 119.95 + taxes so $ 135 . BS in and of itself , however they said I need a new IAM module . Fair enough IAM module needs replacement , the part number is ( 36050350 - which i think is a typo b / c volvo part # s always start with 306 or w / e ) . He $ 1333.23 taxes in . Then he has the gall to say " but the taxes are included so that ' s a good thing " * * * * that guy . * * * * him . I ' m going to look up the module , drive down to a US dealer and have them program it with the software . 11 - 23 - 2010 , 03 : 23 PM # 31 EDIT : Just googled those part numbers as well as searched them on Tasca , they do n ' t exist . God damnit . EDIT again : Just called Tasca and apparently this unit is essentially just the whole CD player unit which needs to be replaced . Volvo here in Canada wants $ 1000 . They want $ 350USD + $ 300 CORE but I ' ll get the core charge back when I trade in my old unit . Software is approximately $ 150 . I ' m just going to use my work phone ( unlimited data ) download an FM / AM radio app , and broad cast AM radio thorough my transmitter .

This is the first diesel that I have owned so I do n ’ t know what the fumes should smell like . Upon returning home and parking in the open , I notice a harsh acidic smell outside the car . It is not a hydrogen sulphide smell ; more acidic than foul . I assume that this smell is the exhaust , concentrated in one spot by idling to a stop in the drive . Should diesel fumes smell like this ? Could the catalytic converter have failed ? I am using regular fuel , predominantly from one fuel station but not always . No biodiesel . I believe that at the start of 2006 Australian diesel was supposed to reduce its sulphur content from 500 to 50 . Air temperatures range from 5 - 18 ° C ( 41 - 65 ° F ) . No smoke is evident .

Hello everyone I thought Id start a thread about adding a tachometer to a conversion In general it shouldnt be too difficult One just needs to be sure the signal put out by the ECM matches what the tachometer is expecting I am attempting to connect the stock tachometer on my Toyota pickup to the output signal from the VW ECM Hopefully some of what I learn here can be useful for other conversions To start Id like to quote a friend Quote The tach signal was one of the very first digital circuits in vehicles long before computers came along By digital I mean 0s and 1s There is either a voltage or there isnt a voltage at that coil terminal Minus any electronic component induced voltage rampup or decay it is a square wave When the points are closed the path to ground is complete no voltage When the points are open the path to ground is incomplete and there is a voltage Presence of the electronic ignitor and lacking any points doesnt change how the circuit functions as far as Most tachs work as I understand it essentially as a voltage duty cycle and display as a voltmeter They measure the voltage at the negative coil terminal reference it to battery voltage and display the percentage as RPMs So a tuned resistor would skew the displayed voltage Ok so the tachometer is expecting a 12V square wave with a frequency relative to the amount of cylinders in the engine as an imput signal The VW ECM has a tachometer output pin On my 1Zs ECM it is pin 268 Be careful not to confuse it with 868 engine speed sensor To see what the output signal of this pin is I connected it to my oscilloscope My Laptop can interface with a PC oscilloscope I connected the oscilloscope probe to 268 and connected the oscilloscope ground to the trucks instrument ground line At Idle the output is A clearer picture The output is a square wave signal with a 50 duty cycle The amplitude is 14V Notice the markers 4 pulses correspond to 753 Hz or 4518 cycles per minute Since the engine was idling one would expect 903 RPM In other words there are two 14V pulses per revolution When you rev the motor the pulses move closer together Since the amplitude is right now all I need to do is match the pulse frequency or adjust the tachometers output with a resistor 1996 1Z MK4 MAF MK4 11mm IP 216s long runner intake manifold FMIC GTA2056V CCV filter RC3 25 exhaust Toyota Pickup Build thread January 6th

output at increased gain or phase margin This comes at the expense of bandwidth Electrically speaking this is a simple slow problem Even an eight cylinder engine running 8000RPM will produce a square wave digital frequency of 533Hz A 4 cylinder TDI running at 4500RPM will only produce a 150Hz square wave We need to keep the inputoutput amplitude the same and alter the frequency These numbers can be handled by an 8bit computer w no problem 1996 1Z MK4 MAF MK4 11mm IP 216s long runner intake manifold FMIC GTA2056V CCV filter RC3 25 exhaust Toyota Pickup Build thread January 8th 2010 0817 10

Location Chico CA TDIs Toyota TDI swap Quote Jimbote check out my solution for a tach driver using an inductive pickup That would work in this case a 4 cylinder motor in a car w a V6 cluster same as my problem Im thinking there could be a use for something a little easier cheaper as long as one is capable of intercepting the signal from two wires Of course the device would need power so were talking about 4 wires It seems to me the problem is pretty straight forward and common for anyone who does a motor swap with an electronically contolled engine In fact anyone who changes the tire size or gearing on their car with an electronic speedo could also use something like this At this point Im just curious if anyone would be interested in a simple cheap pulse translator It could be used to adjust speedometer speeds or tachometers I figure it could be sold for 30 To keep it simple and cheap it would need a square wave signal that maxed out at 1khz In other words the teeth on the flyweel would not work Any 12V igniter signal would work and most active inductive pickup signals like the VW motor signal the Toyota speedometer signal or the VW ECM output would work 3 wire pickups are generally active and produce a square wave The output could be changed some percentage Im working on it from the input Setup would be super simple Increase Decrease and lock If people are interested Ill pursue it If not Ive found a used one for that price While I can purchase the parts inexpensively it will take some time to write the code for the microprocessor and design circuit boards etc 1996

Location Chico CA TDIs Toyota TDI swap Quote Vince Waldon The Wterminal signal about 600 faster than what a gasser tach is expecting Good point Is the Wterminal signal a square or sinusoidal signal So it seems like a range of 600 to 200 would work for most situations It also seems like accuracy of 2 5 would be close enough My idea would be to average the signal for about 4 pulses 2 crank revolutions for 4 cylinder engines to calculate the signal There would be a tiny lag due to this Ideas 1996 1Z MK4 MAF MK4 11mm IP 216s long runner intake manifold FMIC GTA2056V CCV filter RC3 25

part It was a crawler rig naturally its the pirate board and the guy pointed out for crawling you dont need a lot of power just low end torque and low low gears I guess I would sum up the engines like this 16L simplicity for folks who hate dealing w wiring looms computers and multiple sensors 19L TDI TORQUE power and ability to modify Must have no problem with wiring looms computers etc If you look around here a bit youll see some mindblowing small diesels Before I hijack my own thread Have you tried putting a meter on the output of the signals Do you have access to an oscilloscope I have a fairly simple digital meter that I use to check everything before wiring it together With the engine running put the meter between the W output and ground In DC mode there will be a lot of hunting with no final number In AC mode it should settle on some number lower than 12V I dont know what the signal out of the W terminal is Vince Waldon said its about 600 faster than the signal put out by the VW ECU If you have an analog meter you may be in better luck It will read an AC signal the inductance in the meter will cause the meter to settle on the RMS value of the voltage Again this is a value less than 12V Those values are relative to the duty cycle of the output signal If the frequency is increased revving the motor you will most likely see no difference in the output If there is something coming out of the alternator measure the Dakota digitals output in the same way Use its ground which should be connected to the instrument ground of your truck The grounds should be tied together at some point but the instrument ground allows guages to operate without large fluctuations due to heavy loads When I measured the output of the VW ECU using the method described above I got an AC reading of 778V In some ways the value is not critical its just a verification that youre getting something 1996 1Z MK4 MAF MK4 11mm IP 216s long runner intake manifold FMIC GTA2056V CCV filter

Don Thats funny Don , The VW dealerships have such a bad name when it comes to service work ! I had something similar happen and the dealer said they have to contact VW for the fix ? I asked the service writer why he was having the carwash kid do the repair and not a mechanic ?

My intercooler hose was also leaking and i found it slid very easily on the intercooler piping . The dealer said it was bad and needs replaced . So i told them ok but i would do the repair ! They got quiet ! I went to parts and bought the replacement hose and installed it at home . Guess what ? It fits the same ! ! ! Very sloppy connection and it slides back and fourth .

It wont work the other way around since the Toyota bore is too small to fit over the VW hub so you need to use a spacer But the rim will be difficult to centre and you may get handlingvibration issues

ShakeUpTampa member July 2011 edited December 2011 I guess it varies by social circle but in my social circle it ' s a bit presumptuous to send out a gift party invite before announcing the date of the wedding . Did you send save the dates to these people ? My MOH aligned everything already so her invites for the party will go out about 1.5 - 2 weeks after the invites and the girls will have a couple weeks to rsvp . Nichole Tampa , FL Report Reply MairePoppy Connecticut mod edited December 2011 In my social circle , showers are held 1 to 3 months before the wedding . The shower invitations would be sent out about a month before the shower . Wedding invitations are usually sent out 8 to 10 weeks before the wedding .

Did you send STDs ? Typically , where I am anyway , the shower is 2 - 3 months before the wedding . So it ' d be too early for invites to go out . I sent STDs . So only those people definately invited to the wedding are invited to the shower . My shower is about 2 weeks before I ' ll be sending out wedding invites . Just worked out that way .

One more thing , I ' ve seen " chau " spelled as " chao " . Which spelling is correct ? It comes from the Italian wordciao which is used as a greeting as well as a good - by . The Spanish version is chao , and it is different from its Italian cognate in that it means good - by only . Ciao in English is used too , and , like the Spanish version , it means good - by . Chao may be understood throughout the Spanish - speaking world , but people in some countries like Argentina and Colombia use it more frequently . Sometimes the use of chao may help you hone in on where the speaker comes from . For example , someone from Cartagena may sound Cuban to a less - trained ear , but if they say chao it may rule out that they are Cuban or Dominican , and assume they are Colombian .

I suggest listening to what the people you meet choose to say on taking their leave , and imitating them . There wo n ' t be just one expression for saying good - bye , just as in English . I regularly use " good - bye " , " see you later / tomorrow / next week " , " later " , " so long " , " good evening / night " , and so on . There is a similar variety of ways to take one ' s leave in Spanish , and " chao / chau " is one more member of the club . 6 June 27 , 2011 , 09 : 18 PM Ok , so it ' s like saying " qué pasa " instead of " qué tal " or " qué hay " .

The exhaust noise is still there , so I ' m guessing I have to replace the resonator also . The noise is coming right from the rear of the truck . I gave the cat and manifold a good look over and could n ' t find any cracks or anything . . . It actually was a pretty easy project . The hardest part was hacking off the old one and removing the stupid rubber hanger from the muffler .

That ' s awesome ! Sorry . I do n ' t mean to laugh . I thought about eliminating the resonator , but A , my wife drives it , so it needs to be quiet as possible , and B I do n ' t have a pipe bender , and I ' d bet I ' d pay as much for a custom bent piece of pipe as a resonator . The only thing that concerns me is the pipe diameter . With a little tinkering I was able to get the exhaust pipe over the pipe coming out of the new muffler . I cranked the piss outta the clamp , so I know it ' s a tight seal . Now if I end up buying a resonator , will it be the larger diameter pipe that will still slide over the muffler pipe , or will it be the same diameter ? If it ' s the same diameter , I ' m screwed because I do n Oh , and when it makes noise is when the RPMs get between about 1500 and 2000 , right where it normally sits during regular driving . I can hear some noise at idle , but it gets really bad about 1500 or so . 4 06 - 06 - 2010 , 05 : 31 PM OK , so a resonator was purchased and added . With some " finess " the pipe off the back of the muffler fit inside the pipe from the resonator and clamped shut . Purrs like a kitten now . After I was done , I shook the old resonator , and heard lots of " stuff " rattling around on the inside . I ' m guessing whatever sound deadening material that they shove in there just deteriorated over time . I ' m glad I did this as opposed to just using a straight pipe . It ' s nice and quiet . . .

This is actually pretty simple and does not take very long . The dealer told me an hour and a half to replace one fan or two hours for both , which is a very generous amount of time . This is my first DIY so I hope it comes out well . The usual for a DIY still stands . . .do this at your own risk and this DIY is merely a guideline and I am not responsible for any damage that may occur when you do it . Tools needed - T25 torx bit - T30 torx bit - 1 / 4 " socket - 10 mm socket - 3 " extension - Ratchet - 1 / 4 " ratcheting wrench - Car ramps or a jack and jack stands Estimated Time - 45 minutes with two people Step one I would recommend that the car is cool when you do this . We did not have this luxury so we had a fan blowing on it the whole time and we were fine . Raise your car , either by car ramps or with a jack . By the time mine was in the air , we had 15 " on clearance to the bumper which was plenty . Make sure all safety measures are taken to secure the car ( e - brake , in gear , wheel chocks , and jack stands ) . Step Two Remove the plastic oil pan cover via removing the eight T25 torx screws . Step Three There are four T30 torx screw holding the cooling fan mount to the car . Driver ' s Side Top ( next to the headlight and coolant hose ) Passenger ' s Side Top ( Next to the headlight and the noise pipe mount ) Driver ' s Side Bottom Passenger ' s Side Bottom The only one that is kind of tricky to get out is the Passenger ' s Side Top . I used the 1 / 4 " ratcheting wrench with the T30 torx bit to get to it . It ' s a tight fit ( that ' s what she said ) . Step Three Disconnect the power cable . You can see it from the top . . . . . .and from the bottom . My buddy said it was a little hard to get undone , but did n ' t take long . Step Four Once the four screws are out and the power clip is disconnected , the fan housing will freely slide downward . It may get caught up on some wires , but easy enough to free . Step Five With the housing out , it is time to take the fan off . This process will be the same for both the driver ' s side and passenger ' s side fan . For this , I replaced the driver ' s side . First , you will need to remove two clips , circled in red . They just pop off with a flat head screwdriver . Secondly , you will need to disconnect the power clip that connects the left fan to the right fan . Then , remove the three 10 mm nuts that hold the fan to the housing . Pull the wire out of the track , and the fan is ready to take out . From here , everything is a reverse process . Place the new fan in , tighten the nuts , plug in the fans , tuck the wire in the tracks , put those two metal clips back on , slide the housing back up in , put the four screws in , connect the fan power , replace the plastic oil pan cover , and you ' re done . Everything is plug and play and once everything is installed , the fan should work properly . I do n ' t have any torque specs on any of the I hope this was written well enough for someone else to understand . If you have any questions , feel free to ask me .

My passenger - side fan does n ' t work , and the driver ' s side comes on a full - blast most of the time , even with a stone - cold engine on startup on a cold winter day . I ' d like to be able to just replace the pax side fan and have the problem cured , but I ' m suspicious that if I did that , the actual problem would be something else ( controller , etc . ) I replaced the coolant temp sensor with no effect . The temperature gauge 06 - 06 - 2010 09 : 16 PM # 8 From what I was told , the passenger fan runs off of the driver ' s fan . So if your driver ' s fan stop working ( in my case the motor was shot ) the passenger one will not work . But if you ' re saying the driver ' s does work , then you ' ll probably need to replace just the passenger one . . .which is a good thing because that is the cheaper of the two .

As since we have similar wrists , the OEM 115 / 75 straps are a pain in the ass for me . From the jewelers case , the 2nd to last hole is too loose and the last hole is too tight . I use the 2nd to last hole on the strap on the OEM calf leather after I have done my own little leather treatment process ( similar to breaking in a baseball glove ) . I assume this is what you are saying by " doesnt fit " , perhaps the 2nd hole is too loose or your desired hole produces too much tail . Either way , try my leather treatment process . I do it to all my OEM pam straps . Ill list it below , but please note , it will change your OEM overall look and you can " ruin " the OEM look of the strap if not done right . But like most leather , it can shrink it , so thats what i do . It also ePanerai12 ' s Leather Treatment Process ( I am not bill nye mind you ) 1 . ) Take strap off the watch and remove the buckle but leave the tubes in ( this is the most important step 2 . ) fill a glass or cup with hot water and dish soap . 3 . ) submerge the entier strap and let it soak for 45mins . The water should be cold by then 4 . ) Rinse the strap of with warm water and clean it by brusing with soap and a toothbrush 5 . ) Rinse it again to make sure you get all the soap off , this time in cold water . 6 . ) Wipe the surface water off ( the strap itself will be water logged ) 7 . ) Lay the strap out flat , with the inside facing up and blow dry it with blow dryer on high heat 8 . ) turn the strap over from time to time like your flipping chicken to get both sides nice and dry , but concentrate the majority of the drying to the inside part , this will make the strap curl up the right way and avoid wrinkles or cracks on the outside part , the part thats visible to you while on the wrist . 9 . ) drying takes a while , usually 10 - 15mins , so dont blow up the hair dryer or trip a circuit breaker . 10 . ) take 30 seconds every 5 mins during drying and roll the strap as it would lay on the wrist to make it pliable . it will feel like heaven at this point . Do not twist it or it will make wrinkles . Just roll it 11 . ) switch the drying to high cool for 5 mins so the strap will cool down , when done ( total drying time aobut 20mins ) it will still feel a tad damp , this is ok . 12 . ) bend it in the direction that it lays on the wrist while applying a leather conditioner to both sides . Pick up any leather cream for car leather at a pep boys or whatever . 13 . ) do this until the strap feels " right " and conditioned . wipe off excess cream 14 . ) re - attach the buckle , reattach the strap to the watch and sleep with it on your wrist . 15 . ) By morning , you ' ll have a fitted and pliable OEM strap thats molded to you wrist . VOILA - You may notice even the next morning that the strap may feel a slightly damp ( due to the conditioner ) and even a tad wider and thicker , this is a good thing . This positions of the strap during drying must be followed in order for it to shrink lengthwise but not the widthwise . Again I am no scientist , but it works . Ive done it 5 times or so to OEM straps and measurements back up my process . 48 hours later it should be bone dry . Dont do . . . - When the strap is cooling or you done drying , do not bend it " against the grain " or you will cause permanent creases on the outside and it ' ll look poor . My first OEM gold calf leather ( the one you have ) i did this to and it looked like very rustic when done , although I wear that one the most now ! ! ! ! its got much character . Hope this helps .

That would be a good place to look for help . In terms of literature , I would suggest " Look me in the eye " by John Alder Robinson . He has Aspergers and his book helped me understand what having Asperger ' s syndrome meant ( I have it as well ) . I am sure it will help you understand your husband ' Let me know how it goes . Bioguy22 2BHopeful responded : I ca n ' t offer any advice , but I was so glad to know that I am not alone in having a spouse who also has symptoms of Aspergers as well as our 17 year old son . Reading your story was like a chapter out of my own life . I too am seeking a support group to learn better coping skills . It is good to know that I am not losing my mind and that the things I see & feel are not imaginary . Will gladly pass on information that I come across . 7 years ago ImSICKtooNOW GET OUT NOW ! I am going thru the same nightmare and have for a few years . I am as close to the fetal position as I can get . IT does NOT matter anymore WHY , WHAT , or BECAUSE anymore . There are plenty of illnesses that makes people abusive , hurtful and a danger to others . Aspergers is one of them . Aspergers in a mate will steal Your LIFE , Self worth , strength , future , happiness , dreams , voice , EVERYTHING . It will make you very ill . There are 7 years ago SitBegPlayDead replied to ImSICKtooNOW ' s response : I was so moved by reading your post than I created an account so I could reply . Everything you say is true . I have lived it for over 37 years and am also in an emotional fetal position , if not a true physical one . Your advice is absolutely correct but you will never hear this from a therapist . I have such bitterness toward the psychologist who saw my husband and me ( as well as both our children ) for 15 years . His main goal was to keep our family together when what really FrenchMaid replied to SitBegPlayDead ' s response : I am now just realizing that I am married to a man that has Asperger ' s . He has n ' t been officially diagnosed but I have dragged him to psychiatrists and psychologists . Our marriage counselor suggested he seemed to be " aspie " like and his psychiatrist says he has a " deficit " . We ' ve been married for over 5 years but I have completely lost the feeling of what it feels like to be " connected " to someone . He has never really " let me in " and he is even slightly paranoid . His way of thinking is quite bizarre and sometimes down right baffling . Our sex life has never been great and in general , his libido is low . He has no friends , just acquaintances . I am a passionate , positive and empathetic person . He has ZERO empathy . He can be I worry about divorce because I can see that he would be down right evil . It ' s nice to know I am not alone but at some point , I plan to get my life back . mommarose74 FrenchMaid I have to say , this whole discussion saddens me . I was married to a person I know deep down has Asperger ' s for 9 years . We had 4 children together . It was n ' t until a year after the divorce , when I first heard of Asperger ' s in trying to find out what was going on with my oldest son , that I realized that this was what my ex husband has . Now Ive gone back and forth between narcissism and Asperger ' s for him , because they are so It ' s true , that life married with an Aspie ( If this is what my ex husband has ) is lonely , it makes you feel worthless . Divorce with children of a person with Asperger ' s is 10 times worse . You can not make mistakes , because it will be amplified . Professionals not realizing what they have before them , inadvertently can wreak havoc , by simply making suggestions . It saddens me though , because my son was finally diagnosed , and to hear people talk about NEVER marry a person with Asperger ' s makes me sad for my sons future . There are a lot of social skills therapies , but are there therapies to teach how to make a relationship work ? I dont want this to be my sons future , but I also do n ' t want anyone to go through what I have . Mama6 Dear Imsicktoonow , Oh my goodness , you hit the nail right on the head . It took me close to 20 years to finally figure out what was wrong with my husband . . . .he ' s an undiagnosed high functioning autistic . Me & my six young kids have been stuck in a nightmare . I knew my husband had absolutely zero social skills , zero communication , zero caring or empathy , he could never relate to me or anyone , he did n ' t take care of himself - appearance - wise , or the maintenance on francess84 mommarose74 I do n ' t know what to say . I feel this whole discussion is a nightmare . Firstly to mommarose74 . My husband claims to be happy with me . I am 28yo and was only diagnosed last week with High - Functioning Autism . Half of my own family do n ' t believe the diagnosis . My husband believes it , but he constantly tells me he ' s happy and would rather be with me than without . I hope that is some hope for your son . On the other hand , have you all just told me that I need to leave my husband for his own good ? We have 2 children - 2yo and 4mo . Are you telling me that I am going to only make their lives miserable and my only option is to live alone for the remainder of my life ? I have always worried about how my problems are effecting my husband and how they might effect my children . My husband tells me to stay . I want to stay . Are you telling me to leave ? I am so shocked at hurt by the remarks that everyone with a spouse with ASD should " get out now " . Do you have any idea how hard I work at trying to be better ? Ive exhausted myself and I fail at it daily but I try . You all knew what you were getting into when you married these people . They have n ' t changed . We are unable to change ( despite my many efforts ) . If it was all bad , why did you bother marrying them ? I do n ' t understand but I am truly hurt . daghda francess84 Get out of these relationships if you can , you will NEVER be happy . Do not leave it until you are too old to leave . Autie / neurotypical relationships , on the whole , are a catastrophe and , as they , the auties , get older they get worse . My family is full of them , I have lived with one for ten years and before that i lived with another for 16 years . This one went undiagnosed and I fell in love with him before I realised he was high funcitoning aspergers . This time I may not be able to get out , I have no money , no friends , no family and no support at all . My partner is absolutely brutal , he has ruined all my friendships , GET OUT NOW , if you can , bite the bullit and set up a new life . Do not end up like me with no money to get away and set up again . I can not say this enough . No neurotypical can take the kind of verbal abuse these people dole out . It will make you ill , it has made me very ill indeed . We are about to go into another christmas of misery . I used to be able to make the effort , have a life outside the relationship , but , as the business we So , get out now before you end up like me . daghda My heart broke when I read your post . I am in a similar position and like yourself leaving would take me to a below poverty line existence . I spent the today working it out . My self esteem is at an all time low . My partner is so abusive right now and for the first time he has started meds , as his depression has got much worse , he is a week into citralopram and has been an utter nightmare to live with . It runs in his family and they are all self destructive . patricia1212 Francesca I do n ' t know if you are still looking at this blog . I would n ' t be surprised if you have run away from it , but in case you are . . . . . I am married to a man , for 15 years , who I now believe has Asperges syndrome . It has not always been obvious , because I did n ' t know much , if anything , about it , and it is only in learning about the syndrome that it has become obvious to me that the characteristics of someone with Asperges fit him perfectly . I do not plan to leave my husband . In my understanding I can not leave a drowning man ( a sentiment I thought about before any clue about Asperges being a possibility ) . And although I can not speak for others who have written on this blog , I believe he tries very hard to adapt to a world that he finds confusing and impossible to understand . That said , it is n ' t easy . When I broached the idea with him , only a couple of days ago , he dismissed it in a Why am I saying all this to you ? I believe your husband when he says he is happy with you . I believe you try very hard to ' be better ' . But I find that in itself rather sad , as if you are being ' wrong ' . Maybe you are ' wrong ' in the conventional sense , but that is only because the average person has made the rules . I believe the diagnosis is only helpful if it helps those involved to understand each other better , and to bring compassion into what I admire the effort you have obviously put into conforming and trying to understand the world around you , over a longer period than only when you were diagnosed . I think your husband is very lucky , as are your children , and so are you . I believe there is SO much for the world to learn about the GOOD sides of ASD , and you are part of that process . Wishing you peace and rest and comfort in the love of your husband , and your children . CCMae patricia1212 Hi , this is my first time getting involved in an on - line discussion but I thought I would throw it out there . I ' m married to an undiagnosed Aspie , after we actually got married all of the things started happening that everyone talks about . He left because I said I was n ' t going to move without any discussion at all . I wrote a letter to myself that was somewhat of a list - I married a man who . . . I married a man who . . . and all standingpretty Being married to someone who ' s autistic can be heaven sometimes and hell at other times . I would say it ' s impossible to be with an ASP unless you train yourself to do so with good resources ( I will get into that at the end of my post ) . The best resources I have found come from my husbands family - I am married to an aspie . I am NT . Let me start off by saying that some of the really negative things people say on forums are true at times . There will be times where you feel neglected , wondering why they are being so mean , wondering if the relationship is worth staying in and so on . When you do n ' t know how emotional / situational things work for someone with AS and as someone who is ( probably ) neurotypical , you will question their terrible behavior - as would anyone who is NT . When dealing with AS , you have to legitimate disability . Even though AS people are usually highly intelligent , for some reason they can not perceive how their negative actions hurt and confuse those around them - even though it would seem obvious to pretty much all NT people . I will give you some brief summaries on behaviors some ASP exhibit and some reasoning behind them before listing some resources that were helpful to my marriage . Sometimes , your AS partner will seem like they ' re ignoring you . I recently read an article where a woman talked about dating a man with AS . In the article , she said that there was this one time where her dad was having a health issue and she really needed the support and when she tried to contact her AS bf , he ignored her email . Ultimately , she ended the relationship because of this . To NT people , this is a rude and callous action and a form of abandonment . There have been times where I have tried to contact my husband and I could sensory overload and it will push them away ; or they may act irritated with you . Do not take it personally if someone who has AS does not want to spend a lot of time with you , it ' s just that their AS makes them feel overwhelmed by the emotions people give them and can not handle it all the time . You also must understand they wo n ' t always be there when you need them . They may not relate to other ' s feelings at times and may come across as cold . Aspies have trouble both understanding and relating emotions . Sometimes , they can say something so mean and not understand how it would hurt someones feelings . One time , my husband threatened divorce and I was crying and really wanted to be held , but he did n ' t want to hold me and comfort me . On top of that , he yelled at me a few times for what seemed like no reason . I was hurt , and he acted like he did n ' t care . His actions did n ' t The book I have used that is particularly helpful for romantic relationships with aspies is " 22 Things a Woman Must know If she loves a man with Asperger ' s Syndrome " . It has helped me salvage a relationship with my AS husband and I am now happy with our relationship . Porqueno This is well - put and right - on .

Anon_60593 posted : Upon impact from rear - end collision , I had low back pain . Drs . thought it was whiplash until an MRI was done in April and found a herniated L4 / L5 disk . Pain is worse on the right side . I had a back injection done in May . I was awake during this and experienced the most excruciating pain as it felt I was being burned and electrocuted entirely down the back of my right leg ; from injection site to toes , as reaction , I flinched . Days after it was 100x more bj1208 responded : hi and welcome to the support group - first - the EMG test - did they also do a Nerve Conduction Test ? second - the Neurologist you saw was he / she a Neurosurgeon Spine Specialist or just a Neurologist ? reason I am asking is there is a big difference between the two professions . I believe you should see either an Orthopedic Spine Specialist or a Neurosurgeon Spine Specialist - they deal with back / neck issues and also if there are disc ( s ) pressing on nerve roots ( may explain your leg pains ) Third - I would be referred to a Physiatrist Pain Management Clinic - they go deeper into pain management than regular pain clinics . here is website outlining what they do http : / / www . spineuniverse . com / treatments / what - physiatrist I would be sure to ask for the EMG - Nerve Conduction Test to be done - the first part is where they measure and then put the electrodes in certain areas and send a jolt to the nerve area . The 2nd part of the test is almost similar to the first except they have a needle that is hooked up to the machine and they will stick the needle into the same areas and see how the readings come out - I have permanent nerve damage in both legs and have this test done every year to see if getting worse / better / no change . One thing the doctor pointed out to me on the 2nd part of the test was to listen - the more I heard sounds the more nerve damage I had - the quieter it was meant no or little nerve damage . Also , I am taking Neurotin ( Gabapentin is generic ) for the leg pains and it does help quite a bit - there is also Lyrica too . so check with your doctor on those meds . Please be sure u see a spine specialist - they will be able to let you know what type of treatment options for you . please keep us posted - take care - Joy sabs12 replied to bj1208 ' s response : Thank you Joy ! I ' m sorry to hear about your circumstance . The Dr . I saw was w / in the same hospital everything else has been done . He is a muscular / spine neurologist I did have the nerve conduction test . They said everything looked normal , although when they did the manual test my right leg had less feeling and was weaker than the left . I just would love for a doctor or someone to tell me why such severe hip pain after the shots , did n ' t have that My PT said if stretching and such is n ' t helping the muscles at all its something with the nerve . Which I know . My muscles never hurt . WOnder if something was nicked during the shot ? Will it ever get better ? How do I get this better ? They have me doing back bends to try and get the disk back in place . I can deal w / the back pain as much as it sucks , but I need to be able to walk / run . . .cross my legs etc .

My ears feel full and pop constantly . I have a post nasal drip . Intermittent sinus and head pressure . The strangest part is a feeling of being disconnected or having a foggy head that has accompanyied it for the entire 9 weeks . Can this be caused by a sinus or ENT problem ? I have an appointment to see an ENT but they ca n ' t get me in for 5 weeks and I ' m becoming very frustrated with feeling this way . 1 2 3 4 5 8 years ago Rod Moser , PA , PhD responded : Five weeks to be examined would frustrate anyone . . . . Can you be seen by your primary care provider before that time ? Post - nasal drainage ( from the sinuses ) can compromise the normal function of your Eustachian tubes . This can cause ear fullness . The popping may be your e - tubes trying to equalize middle ear pressure . Sinus infections can be " chronic " - lasting a long time if not properly treated . This can certainly cause the head pressure . The term " foggy head " is really a bit vague for me to really comment . Do you have allergies or work around people ( especially children ) that may have lots of colds ? Allergies are a common underlying issue , and frequent or back - to - back colds can overload your sinuses and set the stage for infections . hjrasool replied to Rod Moser , PA , PhD ' s response : I ' ve seen my primary care physician twice . She recommended Mucinex which I tried . It did n ' t help . She thinks it is a viral issue and I need to wait it out . I ' m certainly willing to wait it out but the foggy headedness is my biggest concern . I agree that the description is vague . I wish I could express the feeling better . I feel like I ' m 80 % there and just a bit off . A bit disconnected from my surroundings . I do n ' t know if this could be related to the sinus and ear issues or that is not even possible . I do have allergies but not very often and they ' ve never taken this form ( disconnected feeling ) . I started taking Zyrtec this past Monday . Should I start feeling relief within 4 days if it is allergy related ? replied to hjrasool ' s response : I really do not have enough information about your case to be able to predict outcome . Viruses typically just last a week . . . .not NINE weeks , so allergies certainly may be contributory . . I hope the ENT is about to get a handle on your foggy , disconnected feelings . Again , I really do n ' t know what you are experiencing . . .I am sorry . Winterblue2 hello hjrasool . I was reading your post about this disconnected feeling that you have . The way I read it , you seem to have doubts about this feeling being related to sinus problems . I am going to go out on a limb here and ask if you have any anxiety or depression issues ? Just a shot in the dark , but I have experienced this " feeling " myself . There is an explanation for it and I happen to have anxiety / depression issues myself . If this is totally out of the question I ' m outta here . Like I wrote , just a thought . Take care now . Winterblue2 Honestly , at this point I ' m not going to rule anything out . I ' ve never had anxiety or depression problems in the past . But it ' s been 4 months now and to say I ' m frustrated would be an understatement . I ' ve been to my primary care physician , an ENT and nuerology . They ca n ' t seem to find the cause . I became sick one weekend with extremely plugged ears , my lungs were burning and painful and my throat felt really tight . Ever since then I ' ve been fatigued , pressure in face , plugged ears , and the foggy - headed feeling I mentioned . The foggy headed feeling seems to get worse later in the day and is more prevelant if I exert myself throughout the day . Hello again . I wish I could help you more with that . I have been really sick with what the doc thinks is chronic sinusitis . From the post nasal drip , only one of my ears has been affected . My lungs seem to be fine , except my chest feels heavy and a little achey at times but I know it ' s my sickness that is causing my anxiety to soar therefore the chest discomfort . I have been having quite a few anxiety episodes throughout the day since being sick . Just another thought . If you are taking anti - depress / anxiety meds plus meds for your current problem , this could be a possibility . I am not a doctor and thought I ' d just try and help ya figure this out . So sorry you are having such a hard time getting to the bottom of this . The frustration I feel with not being able to shake this I can sympathize . If you find the culprit let us know , meanwhile , if I should happen to stumble across anything that might help , I ' ll let you know . You take care ! ! I ' ll be sure to keep you posted . I know how frustrating this can be and hope you find some answers too . I had balloon sinuplasty to open up my maxillary sinus about 3 weeks ago . It has relieved some of the pressure but not all of it . I still have pressure behind my nose and above the roof of my mouth . My ears are better than they were a few months ago but still not normal . The fatigue and feeling disconnected are the most frustrating . I ' m hoping they go away on their own after time . I ' m not sure that will happen though . I think whatever is causing all the pressure is resulting in fatigue and affecting my entire system . An_241750 responded : I ' m willing to bet there ' s a connection because i have the same exact thing and came here trying to find out if my sinus infection is causing me to feel disconnected as well . I feel like my brain is foggy . My perception has changed . Almost as if i am under the influence of a drug . Similar to the atmosphere / perception change that occurs when you get laughing gas at the dentist . JCantebury replied to An_241750 ' s If I am correct , the term you are looking for is " Derealization " and it is the kind of ting that gets worse the more you think about it . If you go " wow , things really are starting to feel strange or unfamiliar or unreal " then it will get progressively worse . If you are ignore it and distract yourself with something to concentrate it gets better . I have noticed I almost ALWAYS get feelings of derealization when I have issues with middle ear / sinus etc . but I question whether or not JCantebury I ' m not sure if the sinus infection is the cause of the disconnected feeling or if both are symptoms of something else . As I stated before , this all started after a bad respiratory infection ( viral ? ) . I had balloon sinuplasty to open my maxillary sinus but there is a possibility the sinus issue was there before my respiratory infection . Additionally , a polyp was found in my nostril last week which was not there a month ago at the time of my surgery . I ' m currently on steriods for that . I can relate to feeling like you ' re drugged or intoxicated in some way . It feels as if I ' ve had a few drinks and am just a bit off . My perception , especially my vision seems to be the most effected . I ' m not sure if this is derealization or what . Up until 5 months ago I was a very active , healthy person with a very satisfying personal and professional life . I ' m not sure if derealization is a psychological symptom or the result of a physical issue . I ' m not going to rule it out but I do n ' t know much about it . I do n ' t seem to feel better or worse when I focus on it . It seems present constantly and inhibits what I ' m doing regardless of whether I am thinking about it or not . It ' s a constant " somewhat out - of - it " feeling ; somewhat disconnected . Seems to be the worst when I ' m driving or reading . Keep working closely with your medical providers . These more difficult diagnoses are done in " steps " , so your doctor really needs to stay involved . Do n ' t give up until you have some answers or a solution , and do n ' t let your doctor throw up his arms in frustration either . If he / she ca n ' t seem to help , see someone else for a second opinion . Thanks for the words of advice Dr . Moser . My current primary care provider is out of ideas . I ' m actually heading to the Mayo Clinic in AZ in January . This has been a very frustrating and humbling experience . I ' m still hopefull of a full recovery but after 5 months ( which is n ' t that long in the grand scheme ) it ' s hard not to feel helpless . Thanks again . You are approaching this problem appropriately . As a clinician , when I reach a diagnostic impasse , I refer patients to the best facility that I can find . . . .local or not . The way I look at things , the only difference in cost from seeing a local specialist ( who may not be the best ) to traveling 3000 miles to see someone who is considered the best , is the cost of transportation . . . .a plane ticket . If you have health insurance , make sure to get prior authorization , if this is required . Diagnostic workups can be pricey . Thanks for letting me know about the ballon sinuplasty . I hope it was not to unpleasant for you . I can certainly understand the fatigue as I have CFS and this sinus infection has really taken what ' s left out of me . The disconnected feeling has me stumped . I ' m familiar w / it but for me it was due to my depression / anxiety issues . It is hard to explain it if you have n ' t been there . Is the procedure supposed to clear things up right away or take awhile ? If you have been sick with this infection for some time , I ' m sure it can cause you to feel fatigue . Just realizing that this post was 3 weeks ago . Have n ' t been posting much , just sleeping . Unless I read it wrong , the polyp that was found after your surgery will be treated with a steriod ? No removal procedure I hope . Hope things have improved for you after all of this .

That ' s a lot of ' tube ' to stuff into one area . If you get an angulation , it means the ' gentleness ' of the curve is lost and instead you ' ve got something that could resemble a right angle - so more of a sharp turn . When that happens it ' s typically due to adhesions , or tacking of the jodi2125 responded : Thanks CalGal . I was thinking like a kink or something . I guess that could make sense given my history of adhesions . Noone mentioned it to me . When I had a hernia repair last yr all my dr said was my intetsines looked pink and healthy . Could this be something that gets fixed on its own ? Could it cause symptoms similar to IBS or IBDs . I always wondered if something was up . I have constnat D and when I take tonss of meds to stop it I get major reflux and feel like unknown responded : If it is an adhesion , no , unfortunately it wo n ' t fix on it ' s own . Yes , it could cause symptoms like IBS , but it depends on the person . Some people never really know they have adhesions . You might want to consider looking into work with someone with experience in visceral manipulation . It ' s a form of osteopathic medicine and individuals trained in that modality deal with adhesions on an almost weekly basis . In many cases the adhesions - depending upon placement - can be gently loosened which Renny1985 responded : Jodi - Obviously we need to be bowel buddies . I just looked at the colonoscopy report and mine says " angulated and redundant " as well . So much crap the docs dont mention , ya know ? Lemme know how it goes at Mt .

Maybe we should renny , i posted on your other thread but aol decided to go crazy and poof , it was gone . in a nutshell , i said do the test . if insurnace will pay - go for it . i worked the day of mine and its by far the easiest test ! i posted other stuff too but notime to repeat now ! i go on the 19th . . . i dont have your email anymore so if you still have mone , shoot me a line . i dont have a throw away one so i Back to Top Visit the Digestive Disorders Health Center Home Staying Informed My Watchlist Stay Informed with Newsletters Sign up for the GI Disorders newsletter and keep up with all the latest news , treatments and research with WebMD . | [

I also become very bloated and " gassy " almost nauseous , but never threw up , only go to the bathroom and it goes away until I eat again . At first I thought I was lactose - intolerant ( because my sister 22 , just developed a severe case out of no where ) but it is n ' t just dairy that causes this , it is with any food . My brother of 25 also suffers from Sometimes it is normal bowel movement , other times it is diarrhea and normally I am finished with the movement in about 30 seconds in either case and done . But occasionally I get severe lower abdominal pain ( below my belly button , not on either side as appendix or spleen would suggest ) around my waist band area that does n ' t go away after the initial bowel movement and I am constipated . It keeps me having 3 - 5 trips back to the bathroom until I have explosive diarrhea and I am alleviated . I have pretty much learned to deal with it as I have had this the past 3 years or so ( 19 now ) . For the first 2 years it has caused weight - loss , but just recently , my hunger never gets satisfied because of this and I am starting to gain weight ( about 5 ' 5 " and 150 lbs ) . I never have any blood in my stool and I am a bit embarrassed to go to the doctor with my problem . Have not yet had a blood test either . I do n ' t know if this is of any importance , but when I wake up my tongue is yellow and the back of my throat hurts . I always have nasal drips , stuffy nose , mucus . Tonsil stones ( little horrbile smelling yellow squishy clusters that form in my tonsils and fall out when they get too big ) have also been occurring and began around the same time . Please let me know of any of the possible things it could be ? 1 2 10 years ago jctevere responded : I forgot to add that I also usually get dehydrated and have a metallic taste in my mouth . Also , when I have episodes where I become constipated and revisit the bathroom 4 - 5 times after I have recurring and violent diarrhea my rectum or anus burns , either from the excessive wiping , or from the diarrhea ? It helps if I massage my stomach and put my legs together and slightly lean forward . I am a 19year old male . . . Thanks for any help you can give me ! earthtonegirl responded : Argh , I typed this whole thing and it just disappeared . grrrr . . . Okay , Take Two : You definitely need to see a doctor - a gastro specialist . It sounds like you ' ve got something going on that needs treatment , and heck , sounds like you getting diagnosed could help the rest of your familiy as well . I ' m not saying this to scare you - not at all - in fact , getting a diagnosis means you know how to treat this thing . There are a lot of digestive disorders that have very similar symptoms - they can be hard to tell apart , esp over the internet - but The one thing that really calls to me ( but I ' m biased ) is Celiac Disease . That ' s an intolerance to wheat , barley , rye and ( some ) oats , which causes damage to the small intestine . That damage causes you to not absorb certain nutrients ( depending where the damage occurs ) and often leads to nutrient deficiencies and lactose intolerance . It can hit you " out of hte blue " at any age , but it ' s life - long and can wreaking havoc for years before you notice Again , I could n ' t possibly diagnose you by internet , even if I were a doctor . I ' m just saying the shoe seems to fit , and it ' s somethign you should ask your doctor about . There is a blood test that ' s more or less reliable ( It can miss a few people though ) . Be sure to ask your doc to run the " full Celiac panel " rather than just the single test ( IgA ) . The single test is not very reliable at all - lots Do you have any other conditions or does anything run in your family - even if they may seem completely unrelated to your gut ? Are you on any meds ? YoungMess I do n ' t remember what it ' s called , but it has something to do with rapid emptying . I would look into that . LilMissMerrySunshine replied to earthtonegirl ' s response : By the way , just to add to that , you are going to have to force yourself to get past feeling embarrassed talking to your doctor . As someone who has seen 4 GI docs over 5 years , I can tell you there is NOTHING these guys have n ' t seen or heard . You are not going to embarass them ! Trust me . I have often wondered what would lead someone into that field , because it ' s pretty freaking gross , but it does n ' t bother them at all ! And keep in mind as well - the longer you wait , the worse it will probably get , and the more information you will be sharing . I wonder if you and the sibs , since your symptoms are all similar , should n ' t get back - to - back appointments and all go together . Or if one or both of them have seen someone , perhaps go to the same GI doc they went to . It would probably be very helpful for a doctor ( although a little mean , too , but I would n ' t let that stop me ) to see all of you at once . Similar symptoms , almost obviously heridetary , etc . Just my I always recommend writing a list of symptoms and having a pen and paper with you when seeing a doctor . In your case , if you have trouble getting past that " TMI " feeling , take a copy for the doctor . Then the doctor can look at it and ask you relevant questions . If ( s ) he initiates the questions , you will likely feel much more comfortable . I have one doc who " cheats " and reads my notes upside down , so instead of making him a copy , I now angle them so he ca n ' t see them . It ' s a game we have . However , I sometimes get too much pleasure torturing doctors . It amuses me ! Good luck ! 8 years ago Garyneedshelp my daughter has these same sympdoms . What did you find out 8 years ago calgal37 replied to Garyneedshelp ' s response : Garyneedshelp , can you expand a bit on what ' s going on with your daughter ? Does she have rashes , ' brain fog ' , fatigue or other symptoms ? What has she been tested for ? What meds have been tried ? What has she tried on her own ? What GI issues run in the family ? It turns out that I am easily affected by the type of foods that I eat . I am definitely acid reflex . And I often wait a while before eating . Additionally , I have began to take fiber pills and it has helped out tremendously . Bottom line is : stay away from fast foods and fatty foods if you can , start fiber supplements or incorporate foods high in fiber , and drink plenty of water . Also , instead of eating a big meal or two a day . I will now eat throughout the day . So if I am having lunch I will only eat one hot dog instead of two and then get somethig to eat between lunch and dinner . Something small . Ensure shakes have helped out bridge the gap too . 7 years ago neeluxmth26 I have the exact same symptoms you do ! What do we have ? ! ? It ' s so annoying living like this . 7 years ago austintxgrl I have the same exact symptoms , I have already gone to see a G I doc , he ran all the tests possible and took stool samples aand sent them to a lab , all results came back normal , I have not been back bbecause I can not afford to , however , I am pretty sure that it is celiac disease , since the tests did not come back abnormal . . . .I am now following a gluten free diet , guess we will see how it goes dg19713 austintxgrl I have had these problems for years to include Larngopharyngeal reflux but all the Doctors keep telling me is it ' s IBS . I have had every test that you can name with the exception of celiac which will be checked soon . However , I have been told for years to learn how to control my emotions because emotions can also trigger IBS as well as various foods like : fatty foods , sauces , chocolate , milk to include soy milk , veggies / fruits that are high in acid , gassy veggies like beans , lettuce backgroundactor I am a 72 year old male . For the past few months , friends say I look like I am losing weight , but I am not . I weigh 165lbs . The problem - after eating , the food goes right through me . In one end and out the other , so to speak . Have you got any suggestions ? I know you are much younger , but need some advice . Thanks . An_247251 responded : You may want to check your home for mold issues . I have been doing alot of research on Black Mold poisoning and you have all the symtoms , well not all but alot . Look it up on google you will find all the information you need to know SOLVED : It turns out that it is just a really severe ( and new ) Lactose Intolerance . I have never been prior and apparently you can become intolerant over time . Here are some other symptons which I also experienced : - Occasional " wet " mucous farting - acid reflux , - alternating fits of constipation & diaharea - a compromised digestive system thus laying the groundwork for a body which is extremely susceptible to developing nose , throat , sinus , ear , bronchial , bladder and other infections as well . - Other symptoms you may be suffering from are mucous in the stools , bloating and cramping , digestive troubles such as constipation , belching and burping , gassiness and ribbony and stringy shaped bowel movements or rabbit pellet shaped movements are all symptoms of lactose intolerance . Ditch the milk and dairy products for a few days and pump up your intake of leafy and green vegies , broccolli , even carrotts and fresh fruit also , oranges are rich in calcium . Get your 10 - 15 mins daily of safe sun exposure ( vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption and is known as the sunshine vitamin ) . The calcium found in vegies and fruits has a greater impact on bone health than calcium from dairy products anyways . . . A study published in The Americal Journal of clinical nutrition ( 2002 ) found that a high intake of vegies and fruits has a positive impact on bone health , but dairy did not . Dairy products contain animal proteins , which speed the elimination of calcium from the body and make it more acidic . This can cause calcium to leach from the bones and cause problems with magnesium ( essential for healthy nerve and muscle Cow ' s milk contains proteins that are difficult for humans to digest ; when these undigested proteins enter the lower digestive system , they putrefy and cause digestive problems . Dairy products encourage the production of excess mucus in the body , burdening the respiratory , digestive and immune systems . Not surprisingly , when you ditch the milk and dairy people more often than not experience markedly fewer colds and sinus & respiratory infections . I know it ' s a big ask to ditch the milk and dairy , it was very hard for me to do so . Lactaid pills helped , but the problems only really ceased when I not only shifted from milk and dairy products , but also processed products in general . I have discovered that even foods you would never expect to affect you , actually contain milk or dairy ingredients and crop up your lactose issues . I hope that this could be of help to you all ! jcmay jctevere , Good to hear that you got a diagnosis . It would appear that your condition is beyond lactose intolerance and that you might in fact be allergic to the casein protein in dairy . I recently developped that problem its toook me 6 months before we figured it out and I had all the aganizing sysmptoms you described . You develop a true sense humility in talking about your symptoms . I have to avoid all dairy now , and as you mention dairy is in everything . Read the labels to avoid unintended exposure . Its in most bread , chocolate and other products . Look for a " vegan " designation on things . Not that you need to avoid meat . But be careful of processed products . I have since met with a nutritionist to ensure I get the proper nutrients now that my eating choice have been significantly impacted . She told me the same thing about the issues with dairy . She said she would have guided me away from dairy even if I did n ' t have the problem , as per the reasons you cited in your last post . You are correct that there are more efficient ways to get the viatmins and nutrients that we think we get from dairy , mnay more ways .

I live in a desert area where it is dry and hot most of the year . Doctors are always telling everyone to take water with them for fear of dehydration . I have been hospitalized twice and twice given spinal taps because I was in stage 2 of shock caused by dehydration . I just do n ' t know when to drink water . I do get I ' ve become increasingly interested as to why I might have this problem . I ca n ' t keep going to the e.r. for this , I need to figure out how to beat it . I ' ve tried bottles of water , and having a glass at my desk , but I actually forget to drink it . I do n ' t have that urge , so I do n ' t think about it . The only time I do drink it is when I know I have n ' t had it in Also , I have very low blood pressure ( lowest was 60 / 30 when hospitalized ) , I get leg cramps often , I feel lethargic , moody , headaches , and my hands and feet get icy cold but I do n ' t really feel it unless I touch them to another part of my body . What can I do ? Is this a severe problem ? Should I ask my doc about it ? I ' ve looked online and I cant find anything that talks about not being thirsty . There is a lot about excessive thirst , but not non - thirst . Who / what can help me ? 1 2 3 13 years ago sam05 responded : I would definately try and see your doctor about it . All those symptoms you have such as the headaches and cramps probably relate directly to you not getting enough water . I , too , do not drink very much . But I always have a bottle of water with me and make myself drink some throughout the day . I put those flavor packets in it so I do n ' t have to drink it for thirst but because it tastes good . If I were you I would ask your doctor about ways to help with daughter1984 responded : Thanks for the reply . I ' ve tried the flavor packets , and it helped me a bit , too . Even a little flavor helps . I ' m concerned , though , if I might have an underlying problem that causes the non - thirst . Other than you , I ' ve never met anyone who has this same issue . 11 years ago MikePz3 responded : I have to gauge my dehydration level by how my mouth feels . If it feels dry and a little tight , I know that I have to drink something . Otherwise , I rarely feel thirsty , except if I had very salty food an hour or more before . I would love to drink more but water makes me gag ! I hate it ! Flavored water goes down okay but the artificial sweeteners in most of them give me migraines . Full - sugar drinks are not advisable as the primary means of hydration . There is My blood work is fine , but I do have mental issues . Seriously . M 11 years ago sparrowsmom responded : I felt like I could have been reading about myself when I read your entry . Have you been to the doctor yet or found out why your body is n ' t telling you to be thirsty ? I ' ve never been hospitalized but I have felt dizzy , confused , my legs ache at times when walking to my office from the parking lot up a small hill or just when I crouch down to my daughter ' s level for a few seconds . Even worse , my pulse goes nuts ( feels like my heart Let me know if you ' ve gotten any answers since you first wrote . I am very interested why my body is n ' t preventively reacting ( by being thirsty ) before it gets to the point of having the symptoms of dehydration . I have tried looking on - line & have seen so many things on ALWAYS being thirsty but next - to - nothing on NEVER being thirsty . sskatt responded : Oh my , I have been thinking about this lately . I had an acute kidney failure event last Sept . I now have severe kidney disease . In retrospect , I realized that I was never thirsty even in the summer heat . I was taking a diuretic and I think that plus my lack of thirst cause the crisis . My severe kidney disease will cause major problems in the future when I need certain treatments or diagnostic testing . Not a good picture . I am still not aware of being thirsty . I have a low RochelleK responded : I had a similar problem a couple years ago and I actually had to keep track of how many ounces of water I was drinking to be sure I got enough . After a while , drinking enough water became habit even though I was rarely thirsty 10 years ago sandie_72 responded : Dear never thirst , would you please let me know what you find out about this issue as I have a very similar problem and have had kidney stones from not drinking enough fluids . It takes me about 3 days on avg . to finish a regular size bottle of water at work . I keep forgetting about it and when I look at it I have no desire to drink it so in the fridge it goes until the next day . I would appreciate any info you could share if you find anything out . 10 years ago rubystar2 responded : I would just make it a point to drink sips all day long . I think sometimes our bodies do n ' t signal us if there is no response from us . Maybe your body has been ' trained ' to not register thirst if it has been ignored for many years . I ' m just guessing . I drink lots and lots of water because I know it ' s healthy for us and I have just always been doing that for the last 5 or 6 years now . I ' m sure I drink at LEAST a half gallon a day . Maybe you have to build up to it by drinking a little bit often to let your body get used to a higher level of hydration . Let us all know what you find out from the doctors , if anything . Cherrigrl22 responded : Finally someone just like me . I have had this feeling of never being thirsty for as long as i can remember . In fact , when i was about 3 or 4 years old i was rushed to the emergency room because of dehydration . I am also hardly ever thirsty as well . I just never even think about drinking water ; kind of like my brain forgets to tell me i need water . I have gone almost a week without drinking water as well . I have been dehydrated many times , feeling dizzy , nauseous I hope you find out what causes non - thirst and hopefully its something we can fix . Thank you for posting this . It shows me I ' m not the only one with this problem . Like yourself , I have never met anyone with this condition . I hope someday I can rid of it and good luck to u too . pjh139psu responded : One little thing you can try is when you feel like eating something , take a drink . Sometimes the body can read thrist as hunger . Before you eat , make sure water goes in . Just want to grab a quick bag of chips or a candy bar or nutrition bar , or meal , make the water go with them and consume it first . If you need to track it you might try a site like Daily Burn or Daily Plate . I believe Sparks also has a water tracker . It counts the ounces or glasses depending on the site [ 8 oz glass > . Keep a beverage at hand . No it does n ' t have to be exactly water . Have your water with your meals . Mine is always unsweetened ice tea . I like it plain because I found it made me feel cooler when working in a very hot unventilated condition . Buy the biggest water bottle you can find . I saw some in Kmart for 32 oz . Fill it up and put it where you ca n ' t NOT see it . And make a note to yourself that says " My job is done when this is empty / half full / whatever you need to meet a water requirement . Set your cell phone ' s alarm use it to drink . There are free schedule programs you can find on the net . One of mine is Rainlander . It ' s free btw . You can schedule your liquids and it will pop up and remind you . If you ca n ' t remember , there are aids out there that can remember for you . Remember it takes at least 30 days for a new habit to take hold and drinking is a habit . ElaineMageeRD responded : Have any of you tried to get interested in drinking some flavored warm green tea ? It might go down easier than cold water , particularly during the colder months . I love tropical green tea and I love mint green tea but there is also mango flavored tea , etc . . .You can try a few different types and see if any appeal to you . I am now in the habit of drinking a cup in the morning and a cup in the evening ( they are low in caffeine so this does n ' t interrupt - - Elaine abakale responded : Oh , my goodness . I am certainly not a doctor , but this sounds so much like my friend with Addison ' s Disease . I would definitely get a full work up by an internist . vetiver8 replied to abakale ' s response : I have been reporting this " no thirst " symptom for years . Yesterday I had a breakfast coffee and a bed - time small glass of milk But had eaten fruit at each meal . Was feeling " off " all day - a cold coming ? No . Am very sensitive to air pollution and it can get to bronchitis if I do not immediately begin a routine of rest , fluids , salt water up nose , gargling with Listerine , vitamin C , nasal saline spray . Have other symptoms which , according to Medhelp forum Cornflower24 responded : Thirstlessness is something I have battled with as far back as I can remember . The main consequences for me are very dry skin and I now have very high blood pressure . One of the drugs I was prescribed has a side effect of reducing thirst so there must be a metabolic reason for this problem . In all the tests I have had for high blood pressure I have so far got away without liver or kidney damge , but I am very vulnerable to any extra stress . Like other people in this discussion I have no desire to drink even if it is right in front of me . I would n ' t drink anything at all if I did n ' t know I had to . Even when I was in labour or it is very hot I do n ' t get thisty . One thing that helps is if I can manage to drink a couple of glasses early in the morning then I have more chance of drinking for the rest of the day . I would recommend reading " Your Body ' s Many Cries For Water " by Dr F Batmangheldi . He says " You are not sick , you are thirsty " and take what you can from this book . I am also going to try pictures of water scenes around the place and maybe one of those little indoor water fountains with the sound of running water . Like many of you I know I have to overcome this or my health and life are in jeopardy .

Hypokinesis may / can be all over / throughout the heart , known as global , or just one area can be affected , known as regional . Hypokinesis can occur due to conditions such as coronary artery disease ( CAD ) , cardiomyopathy ( heart muscle disease ) , and heart failure . Hypokinesia http : / / www . cardiophile . com / what - is - hypokinesia Additionally , Important to know is the left ventricular ejection fraction ( LVEF ) , which is the standard clinical indicator of how well the heart is pumping , the amount of blood that is being propelled out of the left ventricle ( LV ) with each beat . Normal resting range LVEF is 50 % / 55 % - 70 % / 75 % . Average is in the low to mid 60s . Under 50 % enters into the realm of left ventricular dysfunctional territory that goes from mild to moderate to severe heart failure . Symptoms can range from none to chest discomfort , pain , pressure , or tightness , irregular heartbeat ( arrhythmia ) , shortness of breath ( dyspnea ) , and peripheral edema ( swelling / fluid retention in the lower extremities and sometimes the stomach ) .

This can take a while to get scheduled with both the sleep specialist and a sleep lab , so if it ' s a possibility , start trying to make an appointment or get a referral now . Some doctors may prescribe devices that can detect some sleep disorders at home now for cheaper , but a sleep lab can be more comprehensive in detecting problems . Check your other prescription and non - prescription meds - some can raise blood pressure ( bp ) . Try looking them up in www . rxlist . com or www . drugs . com For me after 2 trips to emergency room with bp spikes and palpitations , it turned out to be a combo of sleep apnea ( which makes bp hard to control even with multiple meds ) and a beta blocker I was on . I ' m still on 2 other bp meds , but with cpap treatment for the apnea and discontinuing the beta blocker , my bp is getting pretty stable and much lower in just a month .

And when should I start running again . Thanks DUKE MEDICINE Blake Boggess , DO responded : Usually this strains resolve in a few days . The simplest treatment for muscle strains are listed below . If you are pain free , then you can return to running . Let pain be your guide . The worrisome symptoms for back pain are pain radiating down your leg or numbness , pain not responding to over the counter pain medicines . and pain with bowel or blader problems . Depending on the degree of the injury the time to heal will vary . You can start with the following . Rest It is important to rest following the injury so it can heal . Let pain be your guide on how much activity you can do . Stretching Gentle stretching should be helpful , but it should not be painful . Ice soon after the injury Ice will help calm the inflammatory response and stimulate blood flow to the area . This can be done the first 2 days after the injury . Usually 20 minutes of icing 3x a day Heat Gentle heating before activity can help loosen the muscle . Apply a heat pack prior to stretching or exercising . Oral anti - inflammatory medications These can help relieve symptoms of pain and also calm the inflammation .

I would have a student take algebra 1 in 8th grade if , and only if , the student had mastered pre - algebra and was proficient in arithmetic both with integers and fractions . If that is the case , I see no reason to not let the student do algebra . OTOH , if this is NOT the case , advancing the student to algebra will not be successful . So , YOUR student ' s time table depends on YOUR student ' s mastery of math . I see one drawback of holding a student back who would be ready : spending another year on pre - algebra skills that have already been mastered can be very boring and may turn the student off math .

Do they need to take Algebra 1 in 8th to do well on the PSAT ? In my area , Algebra 1 is typically begun in 9th grade ; however , the schools offer various advanced and remedial math tracks as well . I ' m not sure about what level should be completed to do well on the PSAT , though . Jann in TX 2,451 Jann in TX 2,451 Empress Bee of the Hill Country 3,938 posts I rather have students begin Algebra 1 in 9th grade - - and make an A instead of beginning it in 7th or 8th and make a B . While a B is an acceptable grade - - it still means that 10 - 20 % of the material was not mastered . What may seem like minor mistakes can quickly snowball as the speed picks up in the higher math levels . If Algebra 1 is worked in 9th grade and the student ' suddenly ' discovers a passion for something Math and Science related , Geometry is easily worked concurrent to Algebra 2 ( as long as time is set aside for 2 SEPARATE courses ) . . . It is NOT the end of the world if a pre - med student does not take Calc in high school - - they just take it in college the semester before they need to take the calc - based physics . It is AMAZING how the maturity of ' one more year ' can make a world of difference in how easily the concepts are learned and applied . The majority of 7th graders are NOT ready for Algebra 1 - - even if they know their basic facts . . . and if they ' survive ' Algebra 1 - - very few 8th graders can handle a rigorous Geometry class ( their logic is just not that developed ) - - and VERY FEW 9th graders can handle the abstract equations in Algebra 2 . . . and even fewer 10th graders can handle the rigor of Pre - Calc . . . sure their are always exceptions . . . . Sylvia in CA 10 Sylvia in CA 10 Hive Mind Level 2 Worker : Nurse Bee 125 posts Around here in the public schools Alg 1 is typically done ( and many times expected ) at least in 8th grade . If student is ready for Alg 1 in 8th , I would have him take it . Even if he does n ' t plan to go into Science / Math field , he can get done with math much sooner in high school , i.e , Algebra 1 - 8th , Geometry ( or Alg 2 ) in 9th , Algebra 2 ( or Geometry ) in 10th . This is what he needs to have completed to do well in PSAT . Maybe that ' s all the math he ' ll do . He will still complete But if not ready , as mentioned , do n ' t do it in 8th . Sylvia Laurie4b 28,191 Laurie4b 28,191 Beekeeping Professor 16,553 posts The college - bound students in the public schools around here generally take Algebra I in 9th grade . That was the same sequence that we took 40 years ago when I was in school . In some districts around here , the most advanced students will take Algebra I in 7th grade . The reasons to do Algebra I in 8th grade are to allow the student to get to either Calc in high school . However , you can do geometry and another math concurrently , but that takes up an elective spot that would otherwise be open . Reasons not to do it : some students who would totally " get " it if started later , will flounder if started earlier . How to figure out what kind of student you have is the big question . My first ds was the flounder type . Next ds did fine . I ' m doing Algebra I now with my 7th and 8th grader , but am watching like a hawk for an accumulation of " little " mistakes , in which case , we will just slow way down . I did n ' t do that emubird 19 emubird 19 Hive Mind Royal Larvae 583 posts A lot of schools around here do n ' t have the resources to teach Alg I in 8th grade , so the kids in those schools do n ' t even have the option . They all seem to make it into college just fine . Do it if your child is ready . Wait if they ' re not . It ' s really not a big deal , even for kids going into math heavy fields . Colleges are perfectly happy to teach the kids calculus when they get there . They do n ' t need to do it in high school . ( Doing AlgI in 8th grade , if you follow the general sequence , gets the kids into calculus in 12th grade . Otherwise , they finish with precalc and do calc in college . ) Teachin ' Mine 1,887 Teachin ' Mine 1,887 Qualified Bee Keeper 9,602 posts I think that having a solid foundation in ALL the pre - algebra topics is more important than when they take algebra . So if they need more work on fractions , decimals , percentages , etc . then do that in 8th . If not , do algebra . If you find they ' re not ready , you can always do more pre - algebra work . It ' s possible to complete calculus in high school with Saxon since the geometry is incorporated into the other texts . 9th - Algebra I 10th - Algebra II 11th - Advanced Math 12th - Calculus Many people suggest taking two years to complete Advanced Math , but it has the same number of lessons as the others and can be completed in one year as well . creekland 41,089 creekland 41,089 Retired homeschooler ! 24,690 posts Others have mentioned ( and I agree fully ) to choose by whether or not the student is ready . However , for your question regarding " normal . . . " In our local ps : Talented math kids take Alg 1 in 7th ( only one class of these ) Normal math kids take Alg 1 in 8th Less math talented kids take Alg 1 in 9th I chose to do similarly with my boys . The two oldest took Alg 1 in 7th and did superbly throughout their math years . Youngest slowed down to do Alg 1 in 8th and is now working very well in Geometry in 9th ( he likes Geometry better than Alg ) . If it had n ' t worked out well for him I was fully prepared to slow him down even more . There should be no stigma about when it is taken . The choice should match the student . lionfamily1999 170 lionfamily1999 170 M ' lady 8,687 posts Location Right around here someplace . The local ps starts advanced students in Pre - Algebra at 7th , Algebra I in 8th . Dd is in Algebra I ( 8th ) and I WISH she would not have started till 9th ( transcripts would be easier for me ) . I would not automatically do it . Ds is good at math , but we ' re not doing Pre - Algebra till 8th . ayden ayden Hive Mind Worker Bee 74 posts Our local public schools offer Algebra I in 8th grade for advanced students . Very advanced students in 6th grade are offered a test to see if they can take Algebra I in 7th grade , and it is included on their high school transcript . My friend ' s son did that and is doing very well in pre - calc as a sophomore in high school now . But , he is an extremely advanced math student . Like the others said , I would not do it before 9th grade unless pre - algebra had been mastered . ( In my own situation , we are repeating pre - algebra . ) Melinda in VT 1,996 Melinda in VT 1,996 Amateur Bee Keeper 4,346 posts Both in my son ' s school and in the school I attended way back when , Algebra I in eighth grade was the typical advanced track .

When my son began Algebra 1 and Physical Science in 9th grade I discovered that Algebra 1 would have been better suited to 8th grade and not 9th . Physical Science contains Algebra 1 - level work , and Pre - Algebra did n ' t cut it ; he could n ' t do his science because he did n ' t have enough math . We had to switch my son out of Physical Science into Biology ( no math in Biology ) to give BTW , we are using DIVE Science on CD because they are college preparatory .

I ' m doing Alg I next year with both my kids in 8th ( with different curricula ) , and hoping that both get into Geometry , but if one ends up in Algebra again , at least she ' ll have company ( but one can hope the realization that she might have to take it again will be incentive to not skip steps and check her work ) .

The advanced kiddos take it in 7th . The regular track ( not sure what it is called officially - non - college - prep ) take it in 9th or 9th and 10th ( over two years . ) I ' d do Algebra I in 8th with the back - up plan of repeating it ( always a good thing ! ) in 9th if needed . readinmom 2,988 readinmom 2,988 Hive Mind Royal Larvae 2,771 posts In our local ps Algebra I is offered at the 8th grade level . If " successful " they will take Geometry as a 9th grader . Our high schools do not offer pre - Algebra classes . My 8th grade son is currently using TT pre - Algebra program , and I ' m glad that we made this decision . Math skills have to be mastered ; they should never be a race to finish . In this case we chose what was best for our child . If he decides to go with the higher math classes , at least we know he has the foundation . Regarding the PSAT , it has both Algebra and Geometry questions on it , if memory serves me correctly . The 9th and 10th grade year are a sort of test drive , the junior year is the one that counts for National Merit Scholarships . If you did start Algebra I as a 9th grader , you would still be on track . Reya 562 Reya 562 2,612 posts For college - track , this would be my goal . AngieW in Texas 1,042 AngieW in Texas 1,042 6,668 posts My two older girls are definitely mathy . My oldest took Algebra I in ps in 7th grade , but although the title of the course was Algebra I , all she actually learned how to do in the class was punch problems into a graphing calculator . She could n ' t do even the simplest problem without the calculator . I had her redo Algebra I at home the next year in 8th grade with Jacobs Algebra . My middle dd did Algebra I in 7th and 8th grades . I planned for her to spend two years working through it because she was using two complete programs , Jacobs Algebra and Kinetic Books Algebra I . She actually ended up dropping Jacobs about halfway through . I will probably start my youngest in Algebra I next year in 8th grade , but I will need to keep doing a prealgebra review . She is dyslexic and tends to forget things very quickly if she does n ' t review them regularly . She is so sick and tired of fractions , decimals , and percents that she would NOT do well with year another year of just reviewing them . I expect that she will need a bit more than one year to finish Algebra I . 1,545 posts Thanks for all the helpful replies , everyone !
