Individuals within Calvert Hospice care and some who receive help from the Calvert County Department of Social Services received a little more warmth this winter season thanks to local Girl Scouts.
Girl Scout troops 641 and 198 came Nov. 17 to Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts in Prince Frederick to make blankets for those in need. The event, called "Blankets for the Needy," was hosted by the store, which invited girl scouts from the county to join the cause.
The girls donated their time, and their parents donated money to buy the fabric.
"Four beautiful blankets made with heart left there that day for those that need it most," Genie Carroll, leader of Girl Scout Troop 641, said. "I can't tell you how proud I am of my girls. They were so happy to do this."
A total of 14 blankets, one per girl, were donated to Calvert Hospice and the Calvert County Department of Social Services.
"[The girls learned] to help others that are less fortunate than themselves," Carroll said. "That's why they wanted to do it again."
Carroll said the girls from Troop 641 are now working on making 10 blankets, with donations from their parents and Carroll, for the Safe Harbor women's and children's shelter in Prince Frederick. The blankets will be made during troop meetings and will be finished and delivered after their Dec. 9 meeting.
Adult Day Care committees forming
Adult Day Care of Calvert County, a local independent nonprofit organization, is in search of volunteers to serve on either of the following committees: the Community Caregiver Support Committee and the Event Planning and Organizing Committee. At least six committee members with a desire to make a difference in the local community are needed for each committee to proceed.
The launch of the Community Caregiver Support Committee is dependent entirely upon community volunteers with the goal of creating a non-medical, social environment designed for people with memory loss and their caregivers. The committee members will be on the ground floor of planning ways to support anyone in Calvert County who is faced with caregiver challenges, especially with caring for someone with dementia, a press release states.
To inquire about serving on a committee, contact Ruth Lake at email@example.com or 410-535-0133. To donate to the program, go to www.adcofcalvertcounty.org.

Tweens write letters to troops at library
Calvert Library recently hosted an event for tweens to honor veterans, called Letters to Troops. The evening focused on the importance of writing to men and women actively serving in the military, a press release states. Veteran Louie Cano shared his experiences with the students, particularly how as a 17-year-old, receiving communication from home kept him going. Community volunteer and military mom Gail Black shared her experiences in writing to her son and her role in supporting others who are far away from their families. The 15 tweens then had time to write their own letters to troops and draw pictures to be sent. The following is an example written by a local tween:
Dear Hero,
First, I want to say thank you for serving. I know I don't know who you are but I know you are an amazing and wonderful person. I know you probably miss your family very much. I live in Maryland. It is very cold here. I'm 12 years old and I have one sister and she's 6 and very crazy. Some of my family members have served in the Navy. And my mom's friend had to serve overseas and we kept her kids for a year. I hope you get a lot more letters from other kids and when you get back home, I know your family will be very happy to see you. Thank you for serving our country!
In addition, from now through Jan. 10, 2014, each branch of the Calvert Library will be accepting donations for troops. The following travel-size items are needed: shampoo, conditioner, liquid body soap (no scents), liquid face wash, deodorant, lip balm, toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, baby powder/Golds Bond powder, hand cream, Q-tips, nail clippers, fingernail files, thin packs of baby wipes, small packs of tissues and black, brown or blonde hair ties.
On Jan. 14, 2014, students in grades 5, 6, and 7 will come together again in Prince Frederick at 6:30 p.m. for the library's "Packages & Pizza" event to pack the items collected and decorate boxes to be shipped overseas. The January event is open to all tweens.

Product DescriptionRepresenting over five years of product development and three years of continuous testing, this hydraulic trailer brake actuator has a unique all-aluminum master cylinder that incorporates the shock absorber into the master cylinder assembly. This provides the tow vehicle operator with a warning signal when the brake fluid is at a low level. In addition, the oversized master cylinder provides the higher pressures required to run disc brakes and the added brake fluid volume to run both tandem and tri-axle configurations. Higher pressures mean quicker stops when using traditional drum brakes. Fits trailer frames up to 3"W x 5"H and accommodates 2" hitch balls.

CWI & CWE exam
Part practical on welding inspection samples and identification, and multiple choice questions.
You need to take the course and pay the $1300.00 and it is one intense week
of study. I know - I took the exam after I had been welding for many years.
But most of the exam is about heavy structural welding . almost no questions about TIG welding. Very little of my day to day work was structural welding on a building. I was working in the marine industry.
I also had taken 2 years of welding classes at a junior college and got some certifications before I took this exam.
For the exam fee that you pay you get great materials and books from the American Welding Society. Also one week going over exam material. Well worth the effort and expense.
Do not take the course if you are a outright beginner.
It is too much to learn at once . Wait until you have been working in the field for a few years.
Many engineers take the exam and fail because they have no practical experience.
BUT if they (engineers) take it, and are good memorizers they will be first to probably get a job. I mean who would you hire ? an engineer with a CWI, or a welder with a CWI? See what I mean? That is the part that seems unfair to me.
Just saying.
But if you take the test and pass it, it will enhance your career.
BTW ...Many of the engineers that take the test have their fee paid for by the company they work for. But some ONLY get the fee paid for if they PASS the exam. Tough situation.
All the welders I know had to pay out of their pocket, and pay for a motel or hotel near the test site.
If you can find a friend that lives near a testing site that will save you money.

I passed but it
takes some work. pretty hard to pass without experience in welding, knowing how
to work through a code and use it to get the right answers. Knowledge in NDE
is needed also. Go to the AWS site and you will find the information you need.
The test is taken to a code of your choice, AWS, ASME, API, B31.1 . After 20+
years in powerplants(4 in nukes) i used AWSD1.1 because the is only one book
instead of 3 books if you go with ASME.
old but new
Things do change a little, but if I remember correctly to get the CWI you have to have 3 years experience and a eye exam is also required to be submitted in addition to the test.
If you have been welding for at least 3 years in the field and you take the one week course, and the test, you should be able to pass the test.
Just follow the advice of the instructors about methods to maximize your test results.
What i liked about the testing process was that you meet other welders during the breaks of that one week study session and can have a chance to share information. The other thing is getting the code book and learning HOW to look things up for yourself. Learning WHERE to find the information that you need. Very valuable.

If youpick this code, you will have about 65 pages to work with. D1.1 is about 400. Give yourself 3 months to study and should have the whole book memorized. No matter the code, the ticket is the same. One more thing, on site the QC has the best job. Zero authority over the manpower, but total immunity from the construction superintendents.

Bottom line go to AWS.com and download and read "QC1". It will give you all the rules of getting certified.
You get other books as well.
During the training you are shown how to look things up and you set the book up for easy use with those plastic tabs that stick out from the pages.
You can use the book for some parts of the exam. That is why you need the training course is to set up the book for easy reference to find things.
You will use that book the rest of your welding career.
The CWI certification is like the ASE license in the automotive repair field.
It tell the employer that you have a certain basic knowledge of the field and are competent to do the work and take every thing into consideration,like safety,
choice of materials and even if the welding should be performed and how it should be performed.
It is like any profession, if you have a piece of paper like a college degree it guarantees you nothing, BUT .... it lets the world know that you have advanced knowledge about your profession that others may not have.
Experience is also valuable too of course, and actual welding certifications.
The U.S. government or state COULD start to require one of these certifications for certain job requirements.
Just like when you take your car to be repaired, if the mechanic has a ASE license, then you know he knows his job. That person has passed an exam and is dedicated to their profession.

The Role of ACT Programs in Helping Consumers Find and Keep Employment
Elizabeth Edgar, director of NAMI's ACT Technical Assistance Center, recently had a chance to meet with Howard Swanson, employee of the State of Wisconsin Disability Determination Bureau, and John Fuller, vocational specialist at the PACT Program of Mendota Mental Health Institute, to discuss how ACT programs can support consumers in their return to work.
Elizabeth Edgar (EE): Howie, what do you do for work?
Howard Swanson (HS): I work for the Wisconsin Disability Determination Bureau, where the state determines whether or not a person is eligible for (SSI) Supplemental Security Income. I work four hours every day Monday through Friday, doing a lot of different tasks.
In the mailroom I work with four other people, and we divide up the work of copying, collating, filling envelopes, stamping mail, and getting and delivering SSI applicants' case files to various offices. I use a computer to log and track cases. I've worked here for two and a half years and only missed three days of work.
EE: How has working affected you?
HS: I get paid, have holidays and vacations. I get a Christmas bonus. I've been able to save some money and get nice things for my apartment that without working I wouldn't be able to have.
I've become more adaptable. The responsibilities of the job itself are rewarding. My quality of life is better now. I feel more accomplished; I'm not worrying as much. I like the structure of getting up and going to work in the morning. I'm more productive in other areas too, like reading books and writing poems. I'm doing better all around since I've had a job. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I would still want to go to my job every day.
I used to have problems with hearing voices. Now I'm taking a different medication and can concentrate better and don't hear voices. That was an about-face for me.
EE: What do you look forward to?
HS: I'm looking forward to staying at this job. I like doing it. Over the years, it has taken me a long time to come to this situation. This is the best job I've had since I became ill. Aside from work, I'd like to write a whole book of poems and get more of my poems published. I've already had three published in an anthology.
EE: How did PACT help you with work?
HS: They helped the job to become more and more routine. They encouraged my expectations of working five days a week.
John Fuller (JF): Howie and I have work-review meetings with his supervisor every six months. Howie won an award for the quality of his work. The PACT team is not as involved now as at first. Before Howie began the job, we toured the workplace, and he said, "This is too much; I can't work here." It seemed overwhelming, but with encouragement, he decided to go back and give it a try.
HS: At first I was scared, and the easiest thing was to say no, I can't do it. I didn't like not feeling competent with the job. I feel better doing things that I'm good at. But, I learned the job and how to use the computer.
JF: Howie is capable of doing any task that comes along, and that is a boost to his self-esteem.
EE: Howie, what advice about work would you give others?
HS: Have expectations for yourself. Don't get discouraged if things don't look rosy. Each step along the way is essential and takes time. Try different jobs. Keep moving forward and things will get better. Time helps. You have to try certain things even if you don't know what to expect. I had to go through many steps to get where I am today.
EE: What is the role of work in an assertive community treatment (ACT) program?
JF: Employment is therapeutic. It helps people integrate into the community and provides meaningful structure to the day. Work provides a consistent routine. It provides an opportunity for the person to put the psychotic world on the back burner and not let psychiatric symptoms such as hearing voices or delusional thoughts run their life. Working can help people self-manage their symptoms. It is something else to focus on.
EE: Are there other benefits to working?
JF: At PACT, we've learned that when a person is working, other areas of life tend to improve. Work provides a reason to take better care of oneself, to be consistent with medication regimes, to control alcohol or drug use. Work is "normalizing"; it provides a chance to socialize with others besides mental health workers and family. It helps to have people in your life that you see every day. Working is a way of getting back into the mainstream of life. A person develops pride in themselves, knowing that they are contributing to society.
Plus, extra income helps. It is hard to get by on Social Security's SSI (Supplementary Security Income) amount (less than $600 a month). Earning money really helps with a person's quality of life. You can save and buy things you want, not just the bare necessities.
EE: There are many benefits to working, but in assertive community treatment, how do you overcome the many obstacles?
JF: Some of the obstacles we work around are lack of work histories, interrupted education, financial disincentives that reward unemployment, misconceptions both from clients themselves and from others that they are not able to work.
At PACT, we want people to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of work. We have the expectation and communicate the expectation that people with mental illness can and do work. We assist people to work to the best of their ability. That may be four hours a week, or 40 hours a week. When a person enters PACT, we do an assessment of all areas of life, including education and employment. As we build a supportive clinical relationship, we learn likes and dislikes, what they've done in the past, and get a good clinical understanding of their illness. Personal preferences and psychiatric symptoms will determine the kind of job we pursue. If a person is highly anxious, they may prefer to work alone or in a small group, rather than meeting the general public. If symptoms interfere with concentration, we may look for a job that is only an hour or two at a time.
EE: How does the ACT model provide vocational services?
JF: In the ACT model, the team itself provides vocational services rather than referring clients to other agencies for help getting a job. This makes sense because the ACT team has a long-term, clinical, trusting relationship with its clients. We see them often and have insight into what the vocational obstacles are, and what direction the vocational plan should go in. Clients are more willing to take risks when they know they have the support of people they know and trust.
While each team has one or more vocational specialists who take the lead in developing contacts within the business and vocational services communities, the whole team supports employment efforts. Vocational specialists should be competent clinicians because it is the client's mental illness that causes employment difficulties. An urban ACT team usually has 100 clients. If only the vocational specialists helped people get and keep work, few people could be assisted. Work is an expectation for nearly all clients on an ACT team. Employment is a priority for the entire team because of its powerful therapeutic value.
EE: How do you find jobs?
JF: We do job development by communicating with the business community. We approach businesses who might have work, stop and introduce ourselves, letting them know what kind of jobs we are looking for and describe the support we provide our clients. We ask if we could work together. We try our best to match opportunities with people's interests and skills. An ACT team should always be looking for job opportunities. The jobs don't just pop out, we have to find them, to dig for them. We problem-solve with our clients and with employers to create needed accommodations, such as splitting one job into two part-time jobs. We tell employers about people's skills and special needs (such as a shorter shift, or afternoon or evening work if medication makes it hard to get up in the morning). We help our clients with their job search. Like everyone else, we look in the want ads in the newspaper, at on-line databases, on community bulletin boards, and at government job centers. But, we also need to go out into the community to actually try to create jobs that are a good match.
EE: Once a person has a job, how do you help them keep it?
JF: Because the benefits of working are so great, we are willing to go to great lengths to support employment. Initially, we can go to the job and help a person learn the job by working side by side. We may have weekly meetings with the supervisor to proactively solve any potential problems. This is important. We offer productive workers and provide support to both clients and employers. We expect our relationships with employers to be business relationships, not a charity. Both benefit: it is a win-win situation.
EE: How do you provide support?
JF: ACT provides ongoing, intensive support. Because we see our clients often, we know how the job is going. We monitor psychiatric symptoms. We try to be proactive. If a person is having a very hard time with symptoms, we may arrange a leave of absence so they will still have the job when the symptoms are back under control.
Most of the support we provide is not at the job site. For example, we may call in the morning to help people get started, give rides to work to offer support and monitor the job, we may call after work to talk about how the day went. If we deliver medications in the evening, we can talk about work then. We try to follow their situation closely and hopefully address any problems early on.
EE: How do you work with families?
JF: This is an important area. Families don't want their children hurt, and they worry about the obstacles to working. We share information about the therapeutic value of work. We explain the clinical benefits. We provide information and counseling on how work earnings may impact benefits, including Medicaid, SSI, and SSDI (Social Security Disability Income). We assure families that we will always work within the guidelines of these benefit programs so that access to health insurance and income from Social Security will continue while their family member is employed. We ask families to encourage work; we want both PACT and the family to encourage and support work. We assure families that the ACT team will support their family member and that work can be a very positive experience.
We assure the family that if a job is not working out, we will help to facilitate an end. We want positive experiences. When a job does end prematurely, however, we want all involved to view it as a positive. Every attempt at work represents progress and accomplishment. The client has done a job search and been hired and worked for a time. That is experience to build on.
EE: Is there anything else you'd like to share?
JF: Lots of people equate treatment of mental illness with medication. Medication can help make symptoms less intense and less frequent, but it doesn't eradicate the mental illness. We need to combine medication treatment with additional kinds of treatment such as work for the best available treatment. People with severe mental illnesses deserve the best available treatment techniques.

This is finally the actual how-to Instructable on how to make my house key balisong. This is also the first Instructable that I have ever made so go easy on me.
Alright first off:
- I broke my printer during a recent project because the card stock got jammed. (I'm gonna have to make everything by hand now) So be careful with you printer when using the card stock, it may cause a paper jam and then possibly break it. Please check if your printer is able to handle card stock by checking the g/m². (i think, if not let me know)
- I am not responsible for any damage you cause to your house key or yourself, but I'm pretty sure nothing will happen because you are dealing with paper and glue.
- Make sure you have a good amount of time to do this project. I think few good days of quality work should be good enough. (its a bad idea to be rushing through stuff)
- Go through all the images in each step because I put notes on them. Also maybe take a look through the whole Instructable first before you start.
In steps 1-16: you'll be designing / gathering all the information you need to create this.
-The actual build doesn't start until steps 17- Finish.
Step 1: Materials
Things you'll need:
- Card stock (I used 110lb heavyweight from Staples)
- Standard printer paper
- Hobby knife
- Pencil
- Drawing compass
- Printer with copy feature (saves time to make the pieces)
- Ruler
- House key
- Tape
- Super glue
- Bottle of all purpose white glue
- Glue stick
- Tooth picks
- Hole puncher (one hole puncher is highly recommended)
- Chain part of a keychain
- 4 small magnets (try to find ones that are the same thickness as your house key)
I used it for about a year and it was okay, but it was very functional or that strong at the joints. In the end I took it apart and came up with another idea which I think is way better. If you haven't seen it yet here is the link:

A Superb Business Dim Sum Luncheon that was "Above & Beyond" most others!
Today, fellow Austrian chowhounder 'Nilescable' and I met up for a mini Dim Sum chowmeet at 'Above & Beyond'. This was the second time I visited this fine restaurant. The first time being the huge chowmeet we had there a couple of weeks ago.
We settled into our corner window table, started enjoying the lovely view, when a number of their wait staff, who looked after us during our previous chowmeet, started coming over to greet us by name!! What a nice, warm touch!
We chose one of many set business lunch with the addition of some 'Oolong Tea smoked Duck Eggs with Truffles'
The Business Lunch Menu consisted of the following dishes:
- Appetizer Platter of Duo 18 flavour marinated soya
Chicken and 'Ice Mountain 3 layer' crispy skin
roasted pork
- Trio dumplings of Shanghainese Xiao Lung Bao, Har Gow
and Asparagus and Cilantro seafood dumplings.
- Poached medley of Matsutake mushroom, Shitake
mushroom, fresh Yuba Skin and Spinach in Supreme Shang
Tong Chicken Broth.
- Stirred fry filet of Spotted Garoupa with Shrimp roes
and Garden Greens.
- Pumpkin, Sweet Corn and Pork Soup
- Sweet corn and Conpoy Rice Congee
- Dessert of sweet Longoon Berries, Red Dates and Aloe
Vera Soup.
Nilescable and myself both agreed this must be one of the best Dim Sum lunches we have had in Hong Kong. Refined and sophisticated in both presentation and taste, we cannot fault any single dish!
The chicken was flavourful and taste profile complex, reflecting the 18 different herbs and spices used in the preparation of the chicken. The Roasted pork was nicely seasoned and the skin as crispy as can be. As good if not better than the Lei Garden Wanchai version!
The Dim Sum dumplings were ALL superb. The Xiao Lung Bao, IMHO, is the best I have eaten here in Hong Kong, period! The broth was out of this world good!!Even trumped the best Shanghai Fraternity, Liu Yuan Pavillion or Din Tai Fung has to offer! Har Gow was near perfection with the classic 13 folds that reflects the skill of the Dim Sum chef! The skin was thin, malleable and intact when picked up. Filling was juicy and crunchy. However, I would like to see a less chopped up prawn filling. Hence 'near pefection'!
The Veggie medley was surprisingly aromatic and delicious. In addition to Ming Court, this is the second time I have encountered such delicious broth. Wonder if this is a trade secret amongst Hong Kong Chefs?
The Garoupa filet was perfectly cooked. Light, sweet and delicate in taste. What a refreshing change from the inferior Talapia or Basa filets used in Toronto's Chinese Restaurants!!!
The Smoked Duck Eggs was a revelation. The smokiness complimented the truffle ( pretty good quality too! ) so well! However, due to my cholesterol intake the past few days, I let Nilescable have half an egg more!
Although the food was delicious, however, the quantity was simply too overwhelming. We finished off our meal leaving the congees untouched!!
What a lovely and enjoyable meal with great food, service and view that puts a lot of Michelin Star establishments to shame!!
( Photos to follow )
As Charles writes, this was a really fantastic lunch, every dish outstanding and definitely a must go in my book. And the price was a real steal with 320 per person, so two thumbs up. I will return for sure on my next trip to HK.
re: Charles Yu
The photos make me want to go there again right now. ;)
re: Charles Yu
Photos look amazing! Pumpkin/corn/pork soup.. that sounds fabulous. Garoupa with celeries looks amazing.
Btw, I've used both pools seen on the first photo... Nikko and Grand Stanford if I'm not mistaken. Nikko's pool was possibly the coldest pool I've ever been in.
re: Charles Yu
Very Shanghainese, eh, Charles?
re: klyeoh
Topped with Truffle and drizzle with Truffle oil - Very Italian!! Si Signore!!
re: Charles Yu
London's 1-Michelin-star Chinese restaurant, Kai Mayfair, also has a similar smoked duck egg dish, topped with a slice of black truffle.
re: klyeoh
looks amazing
re: klyeoh
Considering they are 'Chinese' Restaurant, they should have one Black AND one While slices and called the dish ' Yin Yang Eggs'!!
re: Charles Yu
Actually, I'd have expected Above & Beyond's smoked eggs to have a more molten centre, don't you think?
I have a friend whose mum's Shanghainese-born (though she's resided in Singapore for more than 50 years) - once, we were lunching at the Shangri-la Singapore when her mum started describing in detail how she prepared her smoked eggs at home and how much smoke the cooking process generated! It did *seem* easy to prepare at home, although peeling a half-cooked egg without breaking it can be a chore:
re: klyeoh
Klyeoh - when we had the eggs the yolks were quite liquid.
re: klyeoh
Nowadays, with high tech water bath and sous vide machines, guess chefs can time their egg products down to nano-seconds!!

by James J. Czuchra
An estimated 20,000 Polish persons answered the call
to fight for freedom and the opportunity to regain Poland's independence
during World War I in the Polish Army in France (in Polish, Armia
Polska we Francyi). They were recruited from among the
Polish immigrants who came to America to fight with France.
The Polish Army in France was also called "Haller's
Army," after the general who commanded it, or the "Blue
Army," for the blue uniforms the soldiers wore.

serves as a location code. It describes which record group the information
will be found in.
There are three groups:
Both of these collections are bound into volumes.
To locate the record, the page number, volume, and record group must
be provided.
The page column of the index tells you which forms
you can expect to find among the loose papers. A single individual
might appear in the index three times-- having paperwork in each
The forms are typically carbon paper copies of the
original and in some cases do not provide a quality photocopy.
The following ship manifests provide listings
of returning Haller's Army soldiers to the US in the 1920s.

Several degrees below canvas - camping in Antarctica
See Also
Page: [1] [2]
Each year, dozens of British Antarctic Survey researchers head south for an Antarctic summer of science. For many, that means spending up to three months in a tent - thousands of miles away from home and hundreds of miles from the nearest research station. We find out how they cope under canvas in some of the harshest conditions on the planet, and why they do it.
In an era of satellites and super computers, it may seem strange that Antarctic scientists still need to spend months camping on the coldest and windiest continent on Earth.
According to glaciologist, Professor David Vaughan of British
In his most recent foray into the deep field, Vaughan led a team of nine BAS scientists to conduct an airborne survey of part of West Antarctica. "The aircraft was packed full of geophysical sensors - gravity, radar and magnetics. The radar was the most important, as it meant we could look down through the ice to see the landscape beneath. Until then, nobody knew what was down there. We found mountains, lakes and glacially-carved valleys that had never been seen before, and which tell us a lot about how the ice sheet is behaving at the moment and how it may change in a warmer world," he says.
Although the first polar explorers would marvel at the sophisticated scientific equipment that BAS uses today, Scott and Shackleton would find that much of today's Antarctic field camp is the same as it was 100 years ago.
- On winter camping trips from the BAS research station at Halley, temperatures can fall to –40°C with winds of up to 100 knots.
- The BAS sleeping system is made up of a carry mat, a Therm-a-Rest®, a sheepskin rug and a 1,100 g down sleeping bag encased in a canvas cover to keep it clean.
- Water – in the form of snow – comes from outside the door.
- Keeping clean in the field can be difficult and some people don't bother. According to Professor David Vaughan: "When I started, it was unheard of for people to try and stay clean in the field. People have changed a lot now, and some people really do like to try and keep themselves a little bit more clean. On a static camp it's easier than on a traveling camp – if you've only got a pyramid tent, there isn't a lot of scope for washing your clothes and unless you're going to put fresh clothes on, what's the point of washing?"
- Going to the toilet? If you're in one place for long enough, it's not bad says Vaughan. "You can dig a good toilet, build a little snow wall around it, put some shelter on it and make a seat. One season we had a bit of plywood with a hole in it and that was great. If you're not in the same place for very long, you just have to walk out with a shovel and toilet roll, dig a little hole and do your business while everybody else tries not to look."
Tried and tested
According to Paul Dulson, whose job at BAS is to equip scientists with everything they need to operate safely and successfully in the field: "Scott would recognise most of a modern field camp. The tents, stoves, lanterns and sledge boxes are all quite similar to those used in the early twentieth century."
Take the pyramid tents that BAS scientists call home while spending up to three months in the field. Although now made of modern materials - Ventile® instead of canvas, and with aluminium instead of bamboo poles - the design remains essentially unchanged. "If you look at old photographs, you'll see similarities with what Scott and Shackleton used. The reason behind this lack of change in overall design is that it works very well. It's roomy inside and very strong. We know these tents survive 100-knot winds - and that's pretty extreme. It's a very cosy, safe environment for scientists to live in while they're a long way from home," Dulson explains.
The fact that field equipment has been tried and tested by generations of scientists counts for a lot in Antarctica, where losing a tent is a life-threatening event, not just an inconvenience. New is not necessarily better. According to Dulson: "We have tried new things but they've often failed. And we do use modern materials. Our small sledges are now made of fibreglass, but things like that break and can't easily be repaired."
As well as the tents, the Optimus stoves BAS scientists use to heat water and prepare food have altered little over the past 100 years. A direct descendant of the Primus stove invented in 1892 by Sweden's Frans Wilhelm Lindqvist, the Optimus remains an essential part of BAS's Antarctic field equipment. "They're very simple," Dulson says. "You can take them to pieces and refurbish them even in the field, and have them up and running again. Field parties carry a modern, lightweight stove as backup, but they're not as strong and they don't like being dragged around on the back of a sledge for hundreds of kilometres. They're just not as robust."

The solution in a nutshell: combine a few purchased components with a purpose-designed Delrin stopper in order to make your own bladder-free hydration system!
The hard problem to be solved: bladders collapse when water is removed and PET soda bottles do not. (Well they will eventually, but not before your ears pop!) Therefore make-up air must be added to the bottle when water is removed. The way to do this is mount a small check-valve next to the drinking hose. The difficulty is that bottle tops are small and figuring out how to fit both a drinking hose and check valve was not easy.
Step 1: Design overview
1. Allow bite valve to be used with PET bottle in bicycle bottle cage.
2. Materials must all be food-safe and easy to clean.
3. Assembly should not leak when shaken or inverted.
4. Parts should be inexpensive and readily available.
Design description:
As shown in the attached drawings, the main effort involves machining a tapered stopper from a delrin rod using a lathe, then tapping 1/8-27 pipe threads in it for a hose barb fitting to attach the 1/4" tygon hose. A check-valve is attached via a short length of 1/8" tygon hose. The 1/8" hose is slipped onto a short length of 0.134" hypodermic tubing that is pounded into a 0.128" hole that is drilled through the stopper. The check-valve is secured to the 1/4" hose via a dab of silicone caulk on the side. The stopper is held securely into a water bottle using an ordinary soda bottle cap through which a hole has been cut using a 3/4" punch. A short length of 1/4" hose is used to attach the acetal quick-disconnect coupling socket with valve, and then a longer run (perhaps two feet) goes from an acetal quick-disconnect coupling plug to the bite valve. The bottle is inserted in the bottle cage and the bite valve is attached to the handlebar with a pair of nylon loop straps.
Email me (alchaiken at gmail dot com) if you would like a DXF format version of the drawings for this project.
You'll spend more time and money making it than using it. Stop being cheap and "eco-friendly" and just get a decent, commercial hydration system. Camelbacks are made in China now, so they're affordable to even tree huggers.
Looks More Like A Mobile Meth Lab LMAO
Best wishes,
With the usual O-ring system one has to remove the bottle from ones mouth and wait for the bottle to reinflate through the same hole as you are drinking from but with this one can let air come into the bottle through the check valve and squirt again pretty much immediately (if the valve hole is fairly big and the bottle has a strong elasticity as PET bottles do).
I wish this product were commercially available!
Or is it? Does the camelbak bike better bottle with "bite valve" have this type of two hole (drink plus check valve) system?
The sipway looks okay but I would rather do without long straws.
Best wishes,
who has an entirely different superior design using RockStar cans that she's too lazy to post.
There are valves in the kerosine pumps sold at local "dollar" stores and I have attached one to a water bottle sold at those stores.
Since I can't purchase yours and I am bad at making things I would probably order a sipaway or sipstream but the postage is prohibitive to Japan.
By the way there is, I think, now a commercial version that takes commercially available PET bottles.
The reviews are not good though so I am sure yours is better.
I think that it would be cool to have a normal bottle cage bottle version just for the convenience of being able to such/squirt continuously without having to wait for air to get back into the bottle.
It's true that my solution doesn't keep the drink cold, although the user can always put ice in the bottles or freeze them. I usually purchase cold drinks at stores and finish them quickly, so I don't really care. Not having a sweaty backpack on more than makes up for warm drinks.
The suction force needed to draw up the liquid is small due to the anti-siphon valves. Once the tube are filled, they stay filled and then the bite valve even tends to drip when it's draped over the bars.
I actually have a completely new design using aluminum Rockstar cans that I have finished implementing yet.
Best wishes,
Me either. Suggestions are welcome! $12 of the cost is the
anti-siphon valve that means that the bottle can inverted without
leaking and that the hose, once filled, stays filled. Without that,
the cost would be lower, but the system would be much less sweet to
It should be possible to make a simple, cheap, injection-molded
version, but TechShop hasn't gotten an injection molder yet.
I have other Instructables that I'd like to post that are simple and
cheap but I need to finish this one first.
I guess you're thinking of making this into a commercial product?
No actually. I am a Linux user and believe in Open Source. I
would like to share my invention and prevent others from patenting it.
Thanks for making Instructables available for this purpose. If
you would suggest a different license, please let me know!

Interpretive Handbook
61901 :
Iduronate-2-sulfatase, Blood Spot
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Mucopolysaccharidosis II, (MPS II, Hunter syndrome) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by the deficiency of iduronate sulfatase (IDS). The mucopolysaccharidoses are a group of disorders caused by the deficiency of any of the enzymes involved in the stepwise degradation of dermatan sulfate, heparan sulfate, keratan sulfate, or chondroitin sulfate (glycosaminoglycans: GAGs). Accumulation of GAGs (previously called mucopolysaccharides) in the lysosomes interferes with normal functioning of cells, tissues, and organs. MPS II is caused by a reduced or absent activity of the IDS enzyme and gives rise to the physical manifestations of the disease.
Clinical features and severity of symptoms are widely variable ranging from severe disease to an attenuated form of the disease, which generally has a later onset with a milder clinical presentation. In general, symptoms may include coarse facies, short stature, enlarged liver and spleen, hoarse voice, stiff joints, cardiac disease, and profound neurologic involvement leading to developmental delays and regression. Because Hunter disease is an X-linked disorder, it occurs almost exclusively in males with an estimated incidence of 1 in 120,000 male births (though symptomatic carrier females have been reported). Treatment options include hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and/or enzyme replacement therapy.
A diagnostic workup in an individual with MPS II typically demonstrates elevated levels of urinary glycosaminoglycans and increased amounts of both dermatan and heparan sulfate. Reduced or absent activity of IDS in fibroblasts, leukocytes, and/or serum can confirm a diagnosis of MPS II; however, enzymatic testing is not reliable to detect carriers. Molecular genetic testing of the IDS gene allows for detection of the disease-causing mutation in affected patients and subsequent carrier detection in female relatives. Currently, no clear genotype-phenotype correlations have been established.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II, Hunter syndrome) using dried blood spot specimens
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Specimens with results <1.5 nmol/h/mL in properly submitted specimens are consistent with iduronate-2-sulfatase deficiency (mucopolysaccharidosis II: MPS II). If clinically indicated, consider further confirmation by molecular genetic analysis of the IDS gene. Please note that this enzyme's activity can also be reduced in multiple sulfatase deficiency (MSD; OMIM #272200). If clinically indicated, consider biochemical genetic testing of other sulfatases or molecular genetic testing of the SUMF1 gene to exclude MSD.
Normal results (> or =1.5 nmol/h/mL) are not consistent with iduronate-2-sulfatase deficiency.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test cannot reliably determine carrier status for mucopolysaccharidosis II.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
> or =1.5 nmol/h/mL

Gallery: Philips New LED Bulbs Light Up the Night at Inhabitat's Green ...
At 6:30 sharp the evening was already in full swing as guests promptly began flooding in through the showroom doors ready to celebrate.
As delicious vegan hor'devours (courtesy of Blossom NYC) were passed and organic wine was poured guests got a chance to relax and talk energy-efficiency with the Philips LED booth.
Later on in the evening there was a raffle where five lucky party goers got to take home one of these innovative wallet-saving bulbs, and one lucky lady got to leave with a beautiful new Carioca end table that was generously donated by Environment right from their showroom floor.
We even had a special mistletoe photo booth set up by Liam Alexander from The Photo Booth Project, so everybody at the party had a chance to document their very own Green Lighting Holiday memories. You can check out all of the photo booth pictures on our flickr page.
We want to give a big thanks to Philips for sponsoring this awesome event, and to everybody who came out on Monday night. We're super excited that we had the chance to get together with our friends and our awesome NYC readers for some real holiday fun. Thank you Philips!

North Country girls to receive leadership awards
BERLIN - Two North Country high school girls will be honored tonight for showing advanced leadership, making contributions to the community, and demonstrating their motivation to become a positive force in the world.
Those evaluations come from the Coos County Family Health Services panel that selected the two 2013 Sylvia Evans Young Leadership Awards recipients.
Alicia Eafrati of Berlin High School and Cassandra Poulin of Gorham Middle High School will be honored in a 7 p.m. ceremony at White Mountains Community College.
This is the fifth year that the awards will be presented to young women who have devoted their time and energy to social causes that impact families in the Androscoggin Valley.
Eafrati, according to organizers, has led many service activities at Berlin High, including this year's food drive.
She has knit sweaters, mittens and hats for Coats for Kids, and for two years has participated in the Rock-a-thon for Cystic Fibrosis. She also worked on a spaghetti supper to raise money for Share Our Strength, a national organization working to end childhood hunger.
Poulin, over the past four years, has led within her school as class president, school board representative, class representative and soccer team captain. She has also made contributions outside of school by participating in the North Country Prevention Youth Council, made up of high school leaders from across Northern New Hampshire whose mission is to improve school climate and educate students on drug and alcohol prevention.
"I have worked in the public school setting for over 25 years and I have not encountered many students that possess Cassandra's work ethic and strong leadership skills, the code of values she lives by, and most of all, the fact that she is such a well-rounded student, leader, and person," said Gorham Middle High School Director of Guidance Christine Lemoine.
Regarding Eafrati's qualifications, Elaine Connary, who teaches family and consumer sciences at Berlin High, said, "Alicia is that remarkable student who seems impervious to peer pressure. She has had to work with a broad range of academic levels and personalities and was able to do so with grace, tact and competence."
The award is named for the late Sylvia V. Forman Evans, a Berlin resident recognized for her decades of service and dedication that, among other things, improved health care for Coos County residents.
For more information on tonight's event, call Family Health Services at 603-752-3669 ext. 4014, or e-mail email@example.com.
