I'm at only 200+ challenges, is that OK?
What a day...spent most of last night editing my Nude shot. Completely forgot to enter my perfectly good, lovely, absolutely-without-flaws shot for Deep DOF. Didn't realize that til 4:30 this morning, went back to bed p.o.'d about it. Gawd think that's the first time ever I've missed a deadline for a challenge I really, really, REALLY wanted to enter! Still annoyed that I missed out.
On a high note however, Ryan coming out Friday, so we can go shoot, have supper and spend quality time together. Yay! He's the kind of person who is very naturally relaxed and easy to be around, but will never let a good shot slip by, and will point things out that you may miss :-)
*rant over* You may now resume your normal programming. |

Well as a matter of fact today we were discussing doing nudes together...so you never know what might turn up in the Nude challenge...
And rest assured, LadyK, we always have fun when we're together, with or without clothes ;-)

LadyK...your "dude-of-interest"? Is that like a "person of interest", as the police would say? LOL!
Anyway, I hope he is alright. Did he sever it completely?? If so, let's hope that it can be reattached. Keep us posted.

Cutting off fingertips might be stupid (I have two little scars on my left index finger to prove it) but using superglue as a temporary suture not so much so ...
Originally posted by Cited Article (exerpts):
Introduction
The cyanoacrylates were first synthesized in 1949 by Airdis. Coover et al described their adhesive properties and suggested their possible use for surgical adhesives. In the early 1960s, various surgical applications were investigated for these adhesives.
Until recently, butyl-2-cyanoacrylate was the only commercially available cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive. Although butyl-2-cyanoacrylate is effective in closing superficial lacerations under low tension, it has several limitations. Several studies have shown wound-breaking strength in wounds repaired with butyl-2-cyanoacrylate to be equal to that in wounds repaired with sutures at 5-7 days; however, on day 1, breaking strength with the tissue adhesive is only approximately 10-15% of that in a wound sutured with 5-0 monofilament.
After polymerizing, the adhesive becomes brittle and is subject to fracturing when used in skin creases or long incisions. This restricts the use of adhesives to areas of low tension, thus limiting their use for incision repair. Butyl-2-cyanoacrylate has been used widely with good cosmetic outcomes for various plastic surgical procedures (eg, upper lid blepharoplasty, facial skin closure, scalp wound closure).
The polymer 2-octyl cyanoacrylate was formulated to correct some of the deficiencies of the shorter-chain cyanoacrylate derivatives. As an 8-carbon alkyl derivative, this polymer should be less reactive than the shorter-chain derivatives. The slower degradation of the octyl derivatives may result in lower concentrations of the cyanoacrylate polymer by-products in surrounding tissues, resulting in less inflammation. Additionally, plasticizers are added to produce a more pliable and tissue-compatible product that flexes with the skin and remains inherent for longer periods of time. The 3-dimensional breaking strength of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate is 3 times that of butyl-2-cyanoacrylate and is closer to that of a 5-0 monofilament suture. This stronger, flexible bond may allow its use on longer incisions.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved 2-octyl cyanoacrylate for closure of incised skin. In addition to its surgical adhesive indication, 2-octyl cyanoacrylate (Dermabond) was approved by the FDA in January 2001 for use as a barrier against common bacterial microbes including certain staphylococci, pseudomonads, and Escherichia coli.
Use In Patients
Cost analysis has found that the use of tissue adhesives can significantly decrease health care costs and is preferred by patients. Adhesives also provide a needle-free method of wound closure, an important consideration because of blood-borne viruses. In addition, adhesives do not require local anesthetics. The cyanoacrylates function as waterproof occlusive dressings, have antimicrobial properties against gram-positive organisms, and may decrease infections. They have been demonstrated to decrease histologic and clinical infection rates in contaminated wounds when compared to closure with sutures. If the adhesives are used improperly and are implanted into the wound, they can cause a foreign-body reaction and actually may increase infection rates. |

Ewwww...did not want to see that while having morning coffee!
Snaffly, dear, you may just want to google Darwin Awards and make sure this dude's not on the front page or something. Again it's not so much that he's severed it, as that he nearly severed it once BEFORE.
Funny how, when in Montana, you use superglue as an all-purpose fix...in Alaska they use duct tape to fix everything.
Oh btw you're a Montana horsey girl, you must know of some super-wonderful tack cleaning product down there called something like Montana blend? Comes in a tubular squeeze bottle, has to be really well shaken up? My tack repair guy has some and swears by it. |

Yeah, sucks to have to attend class when you're ill. Pay attention anyway!
Re Darwin Awards...yeah they are awarded posthumously (and no I don't mean Don)...to people whose act(s) of stupidity removes them pemanently from the gene pool! Just want to make sure your new swain isn't a contender!
I forget the exact name of that tack-cleaning product, just that it starts with the name Montana. may do a quick google and see if I can find it. then you can send me a case for my birthday ;-) jk!
Here it is: //www.mtpitchblend.com Really good stuff.
