Step 1: Cans
I decided to use RED BULL COLA cans because of two reasons.
First one: i like the colours and their combination in this diagonally way.
Second one: some cans are made out of aluminium, others are produced out of tin-foil (coca-cola). Red Bull uses aluminium. The advantage of aluminium is, that you have no corrosion (rust) at the cut edge and its much easier to cut and to punch!
The disadvantage of aluminium is that its not that ductile, tin-foil is more ductile, and therefore it breakes easier when you start buckling it 2 or 3 times at the same place... but if you act carefully with your suit, this won´t be a problem.
The gloves for this suit aren´t part of this instructable, they have their own and can be found here: http://www.instructables.com/id/LED-Gloves/
Step 3: Tools
Before you start connecting you need holes. Therfore use a puncher or a special bin rail. The hole-diameter has to be larger (1mm) than the grommet-diameter (5mm). This is necessary because the grommets fit better and the pieces stay flexible towards each other. The connection of the pieces works well with grommets (do you call them grommets?). For more solid connections, especially between the can pieces and the steel band, use blind rivets. The steel band helps you to strut some parts like the helmet or the shoulder components.
Step 4: Cutting
Step 5:
Step 6: Connecting
Step 7: Knee
For the vertical stabilisation i used elastic band which is in addition flexible enough to allow you to angle your knee. For covering the gap between the thigh and the shank i connected the elastic band in the middle with some loosely rivetted strips. (next step)
Step 8: Knee
This picture shows the loosely rivetted strip which is very flexible. It can be banded in every direction without being destroyed.
Step 9: Connecting
I needed about 2800 grommets to connect all the pieces... here you see a part of the suit that covers the torso...
Step 12: Helmet
The helmet is made out of two parts. On the top these parts are connected with a hinge. I choosed a hinge that you find in your kitchen unit. It is cheap and it has a snap fit so after opening the helmet it stays in that position.
Step 13: Join them
All together the suit resists out of 12 pieces.
2 shoes: each shoe has two parts which are connected with hook and loop fastener so unter your "new shoes" you can wear your "old shoes".
2 legs: the pieces for the legs are connected on the backsite with zippers. They fit very good at the thighs (work exactly with the diameters) so they dont glide off.
2 pieces for the hip: on the inside of these pieces i added nooses for a belt. What is more, a hook and loop fastener helps to join the pieces. (pictures will follow)
1 piece for the torso: with a piece that looks like a mat you surround the torso. On the backside you connect it with a wide loop and hook fastener. Advantage of the wide one: it still fits after eating to much ;)
1 component for shoulders and front: (look the previous step)
2 arms: The arms are joint with your body with elastic bands. At the elbow they have a articulated joint. (picturs follow)
1 piece for the neck and a
dude this is insane!
Not exactly. The stuff you buy on rolls to cook your turkey or what have you is much, much thinner than the stuff they make pop cans with. (I'm a midwesterner, and that's what we call those. Deal with it.) That's why it crumples and punches through so easily.
It is almost impossible to use Reynold's Wrap to create something like this (unless you're up for melting it down and hammering it out), if that's what your asking.
Those who can do, those who can't can always make a can suit.
Not only that, but were your cans made of actual tin, they wouldn't rust at all (nor would they hold much pressure) -and- they would in fact be a piece of cake to cut.
While it's also true that true tin foil is more ductile than aluminium, ductility does not in and of itself lead to breakage. But you're not using tin, you're using 2 thicknesses of aluminium with differing amounts of work-hardening, which actually does determine resistance to breakage.
Steel cans, on the other hand, will rust, weigh a lot, are hard to cut, harder to find, harder to shape, etc.
Just thought you guys should know.
In any case, nice job with the design and construction!
Very cool suit, by the way! Great construction!
I'm trying to make a suit of armor like this, and it would really help to know what exactly I'm buying.
Ok i will try!
1: I used metal shears to remove the bottom of the can which is harder than the rest of the can and to cut the steelband and the tinplate.
2: For the rest of the can i used a ordinary shere.
3: To punch the holes in the can pieces i used a hole puncher and a punch pliers.
4: To connect the can pieces to each other i used a grommet pliers. (The Grommet diameter should be about 1 mm smaller than the hole diameter --> can pieces stay movable)
5: For the places i couldnt reach with the grommet pliers or that needed a more solid connection i used a blind rivet pliers.
6: Steel band to structure some parts like the helmet or the shoulder component.
7: Tinplate for the same reason but its more flexible than the steel band and can be used at other places.
8: Gloves for your saftey!
I think these are the most important things you will need everything else is optional and i`m sure there are several other ways and tools that work as well as mine did, or even better!!!
As said, these tools were used to work with aluminium cans!
What is more, the tools aren`t that expensive... the absolutely most important thing you will need is a lot of time!
just a silly question... did that suit give you wings? :D
nice job, bsenger!
I understand why people want MORE DETAIL!!! However, I tend to think it's fine the way it is. Do they want a suit EXACTLY like yours or do they want to improvise in a few places. They will likely have to do that anyway because of their body type.
Anyway, keep up the good work!
Maybe Red Bull will give you wings next!
Can you show more detail on the construction part? You have great photos of the completed item... and some good photos of the tools and prep work... but the actual INSTRUCTIONS that make this an Instructable... they are a but vague.
You could include things like...
1) How you calculated the layout / shape.
2) How the parts were joined.
3) What did you do differently at the joint areas.
4) How many sections, and how are they held together.

What Bert's saying about SCUBA tanks is very true. You always wanted to leave "a little" pressure in the tank to prevent moisture infiltration. In fact, we used to "crack" each tank to insure it had pressure. If not, it required a VIP (visual inspection procedure) to insure that the tank did not contain water, prior to being refilled. Then again, a scuba tank fill was about $2.00 at that time.
I've never had my LWS check the tanks I brought in for pressure.

I understand your question has been answered many times over, but thought I'd just add my recent Ar refill to the list. Three weeks ago I exchanged my "K" size cylinder that was still in hydro (248 cu.ft. @2250psi) at the local P*****r here in San Diego. I paid $82.01 for the gas, $6.95 for the haz.fee, $0.54 for something called "demand charge cylinders" and $6.94 for sales tax. Out-the-door it was $96.44. Yikes! The out-the-door price is up 57% in two years (there didn't used to be a haz. fee or a demand charge cyl. fee). And, that price reflected a 10% discount on the gas!!!Miller XMT-350 CC/CV

Aaawwwww.....you poor thing....
wait till your houses cost $700,000 for a 3 bedroom, 2 bath 45 year old house with single wall construction on a 6,000 sq ft lot!!!
And that isn't even in the NICE neighborhoods!!!!!!!!!!!I'm not late...
I'm just on Hawaiian Time
My argon price sorta varies according to the computer ability of the counterperson...Airgas has some really stupid programming.
I pay anywhere from $42-$45 a bottle for the 300's.
Where I worked before they were under $20 for the same size. They were under what is called "contract" price. That was Praxair tho. Airgas got kicked outa there for their stupid antics.

$400K??? That is what the condos/townhouses were going for 11/2 years ago! Now they average $500,000. Condo in Waikiki in the new towers are going for $850,000 and up (I was on the window wall crew last year). If you are talking a single room and bathroom on it's own small piece of land, say 4,000sq. ft, that's probably around $600,000

But EVERYTHING but sunshine and pineapples has to be SHIPPED to Hawaii.
Property values have gone through the roof everywhere. With the housing crash, I suspect things will start to come back in line.
Here in VA one 100' waterfront lot (undeveloped except for a pier) was assessed at $205,000 two years ago. Just got notice of the new assessment last week. New assessed value is $480,000. Something's not right with this picture.

on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.
- Carl Sandburg
I suspect Sandburg was just talking about actual fog in this poem, but we English major types do tend to over analyze...particularly poems. One way of looking at this is to see the fog as the problems we sometimes face (be they death, worry, etc.).
For many, many years, the dumbing down of America has been our fog – never rolling in over us, but coming in on cat's feet and looking over America, threatening to pounce. It has been acknowledged, but not much more than noticed and notated (see books like, "Anti-intellectualism in American Life" and "The Age of American Unreason" ). It is as if we believe that, like Sandburg's fog, it will eventually move on. It hasn't.
Anti-intellectualism has pounced on America. We celebrate shows that reward people for being smarter than a fifth grader (a show, I might add, which is hosted by the "you might be a redneck" guy). Possibly the two places that most clearly show our embracing of ignorance are church and state. From gay bashing Christians who when engaged by someone presenting biblical hermeneutics simply quote scripture, call names and question your piousness to politicians who don't even know that the first amendment directly addresses the relationship between religion and government, the dumbing down of America has pounced on us and now it is just batting us around until it decides to devour us.
Not surprisingly, those who embrace ignorance in both church and state also want to see the two combined (one would assume it is for the sake of making ignorance much more convenient – why be ignorant about two things when you can roll them into one convent package? What the pancake wrapped sausage is to breakfast, conflation of church and state hope to do for anti-intellectualist).
Worse yet, the unreason of our nation has combined with another terrible instrument that the Republican party has learned to play like a virtuoso: the 'could-be-me' myth. It started with defending millionaires by telling middle American, "Hey, when you make your million, do you want the government to take it away from you?" It worked. Middle America started supporting policies that broadened the rights of the rich and big businesses and decreased the rights of the rest of us all on the off chance that we could make our own million - hey, it could-be-me.
So, they took it to another level. Why not have a President that could be your drinking buddy? A "decider-er" for the nation that reminds me of me...or at least of one of my drinking buddies or that frat guy I knew in college who wasn't very smart but sure was committed. If that guy could be President, I could be President - it could-be-me.
Anti-intellectualism has pounced on America as the good-ol-boy elected official that could-be-me has morphed into Sarah Palin and Christine O'Donnell style political candidates that are mostly performance with very little content. The reality is their lack of content is lauded as making them more like us. "What? You can't see Russia from Alaska?" "Really? The Constitution says government shouldn't get tied up in religion?" "I didn't know that either." "How awesome is it that Palin/O'Donnell could win and they don't know the same things I don't know. Hmmm, it could-be-me."
It does not escape me that the powerful (like Rove and the Koch brothers), who would not be able to get elected themselves, are behind this rush to losing our minds (quite literally). It serves them well to have shills they can shuffle around in the nation sized shell game they have created, moving their interests and those of big business back and forth with a deft hand skilled in trickery and deception while the American public play a guessing game trying to decide under which political party their interests are actually hidden. For the powerful, having someone who doesn't actually have the capacity or desire to question their motives or the constitutionality of their actions in place to play the game is not a moral question but the height of good gamesmanship...and in their eyes, we are the pawns.
When we make kings and queens of the ignorant we become a nation of fools. I don't want anyone serving this great nation that isn't quite a bit more intelligent than me. Every time I see a candidate doing well who clearly isn't among the top political minds our nation has to offer, I don't think, "Well how refreshing, a commoner like me." I think "Holy shit, that person could be helping run the nation!" (and I don't even cuss when I bang my thumb with a hammer.)
To quote Forrest Gump, "Stupid is a stupid does." I can't wait to see what we do this election cycle. Just keep one thing in mind, Wisdom is the thing in which God delights daily. (Proverbs 8:30)

Top 10 Eco Products from the 2013 International Home + Housewares Show
Expanding on their line of flat-pack water bottles, Vapur has introduced MicroFilter, a filter that safely removes 99.99% of bacteria and organic matter. Filtering up to 1,000 liters over its lifespan, the MicroFilter is not only extremely safe and easy to use, it's also the lightest water bottle filter on the market. The Microfilter is a hollow fiber membrane technology from SureAqua. Vapur's refillable bottles are foldable, freezable, and washable. They are a great alternative to traditional disposable water bottles and takes up very little space in a purse or bag. All Vapur Anti-Bottles are 100% BPA free and made in the USA.
The makers of SodaStream — the at-home machine that adds bubbles to your tap water — have teamed up with design star Yves Behar for their latest product called Source. It has the sleek look Behar is known for and comes in a range of 5 classic colors. Source differs from earlier SodaStream models in that it has a 3-level LED carbonation indicator to monitor fizz level and a snap-lock bottle mechanism for easy connection. Each BPA-free carbonating bottle may be used up to three years, replacing as many as 2,500 conventional soda packages and reducing a consumer's carbon footprint every time he or she makes soda at home instead of buying it from the store. SodaStream carbonating bottles are reusable up to three years. Carbonators are also reusable; when empty, they are returned to SodaStream to be cleaned, inspected, refilled, and reused.
The SoftBrew porcelain pot from Sowden has a stainless steel filter that brews tasty pots for one. By not using capsules or pods popular in single-cup brewing machines, the SoftBrew reduces the amount of coffee grounds used, saving money for the coffee lover. The pot stays hot longer than glass or steel and works for cold-brew and iced coffee as well. The filter is recyclable. The packaging is made of recyclable corrugate material.

Yes No CW-28 In Wall Speakers Written By Jim A, San Diego, CA on Monday, September 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Reasonable price, high performance. Used to replace existing in-wall surround speakers that lacked dynamics. Install was typical for in-walls and not difficult. Sound was very good, excellent bass, particularly when drums were mixed towards the rear speakers. Exceptionally solid imaging behind the listening position when the sound was mixed that way. Movies that had surround effects were very realistic with sounds moving easily front to back and side to side. High and midrange contours helped to match the response of these speakers with my front speakers, getting a reasonably even sound all he way around the room. Pros: Good price, good sound.

The CustomSound CW Series of in-wall/in-ceiling speakers incorporate the same speaker arrays as found in PSB's highly acclaimed Platinum-series speakers for true audiophile performance. Drivers: The CW28 speakers employ an 8" fiberglass-textured polypropylene woofer, which has a higher cone mass and enhanced motor strength for higher power handling. The rubber surround damps resonance and provides exceptional durability. The low-resonance 1" aluminum dome tweeter delivers exceptional clarity in the high frequencies. The tweeter has a pivoting mount, allowing it to be aimed towards the listening area for best response. Frequency Adjustment Switches: Because in-wall speakers are surrounded by hard surfaces that reflect the sound output, it may be necessary to adjust the high and midrange frequencies. The CW28 has two rotary switches mounted on the front baffle that allow you to independently adjust the treble and midrange frequencies by +/- 2dB. The switches can be adjusted using a flat-head screwdriver. Frames: The white ABS plastic frames extend approximately 3/4" beyond the grilles on the finished side. The frames also extend about 5/8" beyond the rough opening cutout. The speaker requires a 9-1/4" x 13-5/16" wall cutout for mounting the speaker. Grilles: The speakers are equipped with flush-mount aluminum grilles for a clean and unobtrusive look. The grilles have hundreds of precisely-sized perforations to make them acoustically transparent. The grilles and frames are paintable to match any decor. Mounting Options Mounting Clamps: The CW28s have 6 toggle-style mounting clamps for installing the speakers in the wall or ceiling. When a Phillips-head screwdriver is first applied to the mounting screws, the clamps "toggle" out from a rest position (out of the way for easy insertion), turning 90 degrees and into a position to clamp firmly against the wall. Pre-construction Bracket: For new construction, the optional CK-28 pre-construction bracket (760CK28, sold separately) is recommended. The bracket is designed to be a "hole-saver" to indicate where the speaker should be installed before the drywall goes up. In addition, an optional BBX-88 Performance Enclosure (available from the manufacturer) defines the optimal enclosure volume for the CustomSound series speakers, and mounts between two studs behind drywall. Weather Resistant: The CW28 is weather resistant to enable installation in moist environments, such as bathrooms or indoor pool areas, or outdoors in porch ceilings or under eaves. The polypropylene cones with rubber surrounds, stainless steel fasteners, aluminum grilles and ABS plastic frames can withstand moisture, but the back of the speaker should be protected. The speakers should not be installed in an area that is totally exposed to the weather.

Real Good Counterstool
by Blu Dot
At A Glance:
Since when has furniture ever been known to ship flat - and we mean really flat? Blu Dot loves looking at things from a different perspective, and that practice shows through with their Real Good Counterstool. This is one unique stool, with its powder-coated steel panels that fold along laser-cut lines to form the stool's seat. It's got a nice shape to it, with comfortable support that's almost a surprise, given its stark, steel silhouette and matching steel legs.
What's To Like:
The Real Good Counterstool is minimalism defined. And Blu Dot has added the whimsical touch of making the back partially your creation. You get to fold it into shape, after all. Now that's truly minimal.
What's Not to Like:
While slightly rounded, the corners of this counter stool's seat may prove hazardous for children, who have a tendency not to watch where they're walking. (If you prefer a padded seat, note that you can easily add the Real Good Stool Pad if you choose.)
The Bottom Line:
Minimalist to the core, Blu Dot's Real Good Counterstool resonates with lovers of stark, strong design. All steel and ingenious in its construction, the Real Good Counterstool is a good choice for inclusion in a modern dining space.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Its good for over bushes. What you do is take the disc into a sidearm grip and put it over your head. Now with the disc up side down and your eyes on the basket throw high and to the left the disc will travel down and to the right and quite possibly in the basket. Works for an alternative to the turbo putt and comes from higher up so you can clear higher sh#t in your way.

Nothing new, we call that shot a "pancake" here in NC. It's a low speed tomahawk shot that pans out right and lands upside down and slides toward your target. Been throwing it for years.
right on we use it here too in BC
It's also good for fairly close approaches where you don't want your disc to potentially get up on edge and roll.
Some one new might read this and get better. thats my hope any how
Actually it's old school throwing,been around for awhile.Nice to get info out to all new/old players.
Pan Shot or pancake shot. Been using this shot since the late 70's !! :)
Good Stuff !!!
I been using this shot for years also. Matter of fact I birdied a hole yesterday using it throwing up over a huge boulder about 40 feet out.
Pretty hard to invent any new shots with a disc ! I heard about this one guy that does a 360 and throws it !

I recently acquired an old Airco stick welder, manufactured, I think, sometime in the late 1960's or early 70's, with the thought of restoring it for use. The welder ID is as follows:
Airco BusyBee Transformer Welder, 225 Ampere A.C. MSM
- Model 2-25ADT-2P-A
- Stock no. 1353-01451
- Made by Miller
- Manual:MEMCO Miller Welders Model M-180, M-180P, M-225, M-225P Operating and Maintenance Manual Form no. MO-114-8J-C2
the welder clearly had sat for a few years in a somewhat damp location, and I fortunately decided to remove the cover to verify the condition inside, which revealed a cracked power cord and a mouse nest, and a somewhat rusty chassis. The transformer looks good and the core slides easily, but the case of the large capacitor used for power correction was very rusty. I decided that the condition of the capacitor was suspect enough that I would clean it up to make sure I would see any leaks rather than leave it alone, knowing that when I touched it with a wire brush I might find myself with some leaks.
Unfortunately, that is exactly what happened: the rust had weakened the case at the bottom and I now have a couple of pinhole leaks. I probably lost only a drop or two of oil so far.
Initially, I thought I would just buy a replacement Miller capacitor. The Miller part number was listed as 31614, and when I did a search, I found it was replaced by Miller part number 059417. The description is as follows:
Capacitor, Ppr Oil 30. Uf 460 Vac Part# MI059417. The price of the replacement was well over $200! The welder isn't worth putting that kind of money into it. So...either I plug the leaks and hope the existing capacitor is serviceable, or try to find a cheaper alternative.
Here are my questions:
1. Is it practical to just clean up the case of the capacitor and seal the pinholes with JB-weld? I believe I lost just a very small amount of oil, perhaps a couple of drops at most. Is it safe to patch the case and put it back in?
2. Is there a less expesnive alternate capacitor I could find that would do the job? I have done searches and have come across some HVAC dual core capacitors with the same UF and voltage rating, and they are less than $10. Will one of those work? If not, what should i be looking for?
3. Should I just salvage the cables and cord, and find another welder? I don't mind fixing this machine if it will perform safely and I don't have to spend over a $100 in parts; there doesn't seem to be much to the machine itself.
On the other hand, I don't want to be foolish and invest in a welder that is outdated. It is only an AC model, but with copper windings, and it weighs about 150 pounds.
Finally, I should add that the only welding I have done in my life dates back thirty years ago with a torch; this will be a new experience for me teaching myself to weld, and then hopefully finding a class somewhere.
Thoughts? Advice? I am attaching a couple of pictures for reference, before I took it apart. Thanks.

Thanks for the welcome!
I have enjoyed and benefitted from the various forums available in special interest areas like these. I moved to a rural property in VA about 4 years ago, and soon learned how little I knew about things I needed to know about! Accordingly, I have participated in forums on tractor repair (have a 1970's Satoh (Mistubishi) which, as it turns out, needs a welding repair), chainsaws (have now re-built a few Stihl chainsaws for fun), automobile repair (electrical, fuel injection, transmission), woodworking equipment (re-built a 1962 Shopsmith - what a great machine!), etc.... The world has truly become a smaller place, and along with the technical knowledge shared and gained, I have enjoyed the connection with others from around the world.
With regard to this welder, I have always wanted to learn to weld, and I enjoy fixing things, so this project seems to kill two birds with one stone, IF it makes sense to spend the money on it. If it were an AC/DC unit, or a MIG wedler, I think I would be more willing to invest, since I understand both are easier to learn, but on the other hand, there are VERY few parts to this machine: a transformer, a switch, a fan, and a capacitor. It is very satisfying to see something that was discarded come back to life and once again have value.
Now if I can just solve my capacitor problem within my budget!

If you've found a cap with the same voltage and UF rating I'd think you should be ok, although I have no idea what a dual core cap is.
If it is only for power factor correction, why can't you just run without it? Max amperage draw will increase but idle draw will be lower.
Someone with way more knowledge on the subject than myself should be along shortly to help you out.
Robert, don't let the absence of DC scare you off. AC will do a lot of welding.

the dual core caps used in HVAC installations are basically two capacitors combined into one, one a starter capacitor, and the other a run capacitor. The one from Grainger is just a run cap, oil filled.
welderboyjk is spot on regarding using or not using the power factor correction (PFC) capacitor. As he stated, using the PFC cap increases idle (on but not welding) amperage draw but reduce amperage draw while welding from that without the PFC cap.
If you need or elect to use it, a motor run capacitor of the proper rating will get the job done.MM200 w/spot controller and Spoolmatic 1

Progress photos on welder restoration - a peak inside
I thought that some might be interested in seeing the insides of this monster. The manual says it weighs about 150 lbs, but it is a VERY dense 150 lbs, as I have found out dissassembling it. I have decided to break it down to remove all the rust, paint it, and reassemble it. Here is an update:
- In spite of the rust, it came apart pretty easily, with only a few machine screws on the bottom requiring "special" attention. There really isn't much to this machine:
- a transformer with moveable core, operated by a crank on the front.
- a stainless steel band,half-painted, hooked to the moveable core on one end and a spring on the other, that indicates what current is being provided based on the core position
- a mounting board with ground, low and high voltage jack receptacles
- a switch
- the power factor correction capacitor
- a fan
- the power cord
- I am going to use electrolysis to remove the rust from the sheet metal cabinet pieces (3 of them) and the steel casters. If you have never used this technique for rust removal on old equipment, it is VERY easy, and VERY effective, and worth reading about on the internet. You basically make a bath consisting of washing soda and water, immerse the part, surround it by something to serve as electrode(s0) (I use re-bar), and hook up a battery charger with the negative attached to the electrodes and the positive connected to the steel object requiring the rust removal. Let it sit for a day or so, and the rust is turned into powder and comes off very easily.
One of the other benefits of the technique is that it also will loosen and remove most of the old paint if you leave it in for a while. In this case, I am going to re-paint it a different color since I am not so fond of the original Airco "safety orange". I plan on using Rustoleum Hammered paint, which covers alot of defects and wears great.
- The transformer assembly is welded to two pieces of steel bar, welded to two steel channels that provide the frame for the cabinet. The channels have a fair amount of rust on them, along with the expanded metal that is tack welded to them for ventilation, so I am going to partially immerse the transformer base, keeping clear of the windings, in an electrolysis bath to clean them up.
- One half of the stainless steel indicator band used to be painted red, but the paint had almost completely flaked off. I will clean and repaint the band to restore its function as a current marker.
- I understand I don't really need the capacitor, but found one at Grainger that should work for $20 so I have decided to replace it.
- I will salvage the power cord. The conductor insulation looks great, but the outside rubber sheath shows some cracking, and the sheath is open where it went into the machine. I purchased some 3/4" heat shrink tubing and I am going to put two layers over everything to keep everything safe. Someone cut the ground blade of the original 50 amp plug so it would slip into the new style 220V receptacles, so I am going to replace that as well.
- The welding leads are in pretty good shape. I will clean them with a bleach solution to get some of the grime and mildew off of them, but there are no signs of cracking and they seem very flexible.
Here are some pics of it partially dissassembled:

New Assistant Professor at Webb in Fall 2011
Webb Institute is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Adrian Onas as assistant professor of naval architecture. Dr. Onas will begin teaching in the fall 2011.
Dr. Onas earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Naval Architecture, Navigation and Maritime Transport from the Merchant Marine Institute in Constanta, Romania, in 1994; a Master of Science degree in naval architecture and marine engineering from the University of New Orleans in 1998; and a Ph.D. in ocean engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology in 2009.
Before beginning his post-graduate work, Dr. Onas was employed as a maritime deck officer and marine engineer with the Petromin Shipping Company in Constanta. He was a teaching and research assistant at the University of New Orleans, and has taught on several occasions as an adjunct professor at Stevens Institute of Technology.
Since 1999 he has been working as a naval architect and senior surveyor with Det Norske Veritas (DNV). His experience with DNV has included convention and regulatory tonnage modeling on behalf of the United States Coast Guard; surveyor's training in classification production systems and new building surveys, plus an extensive variety of work on marine structures plan approval, design assessment and product certification in accordance with DNV Rules for Classification, Offshore Codes and Statutory Requirements. Over the past several years, he has been increasingly involved with the evaluation of consequence for fatigue and ultimate strength due to hull girder wave induced vibrations.
Dr. Onas' particular areas of interest include nonlinear ship motion response in stochastic seas; nonlinear time-varying dynamics of ship roll motion; numerical and experimental prediction of nonlinear roll damping, motions and response of multi-hull ships in restricted channels; and hull girder vibration due to wave-induced nonlinear excitation. He has experience in experimental hydrodynamics, and he has been involved with numerical prediction of nonlinear ship motions in waves, using DNV's non-linear potential flow code, WASIM.
Dr. Onas is married to Dr. Laura Dutu, an internal medicine resident at Metropolitan Hospital in Manhattan.
Webb looks forward to having Dr. Onas on the faculty, and to welcoming him and his wife to Webb.

Yeah, it's been quite a while since I've posted... but I have been lurking nonetheless!
I just completed this Woodland's Shawl. A very easy lace and quick knit.
Hi all,
Hello everyone! The Thundersnowstorm of 2011 walloped us yesterday afternoon here in DC.
There is a rabbit on my farm. Gonna have to pull out the shotgun. (Stay tuned....)
Hello, I've been knitting for a little while now and am considering designing and selling sweaters. I want to be able to turn out some sweaters in a relatively faster time than handknitting.
Hey Men, I was just wondering if there is any way to keep the edges of my knitting from curling in stockinette, and just plain knitting. I keep having this problem and don't know how to correct it.
Hi all,
Here are a few men's hats that I knit last year. One of them is attached to this post. Let me know what you think! http://loomdude.blogspot.com/2011/01/mens-hats.html
During my lunch break I cracked out my knitting at sat at my desk directly behind my 50 year old Manager.

Deep Space Chronicle: A Chronology of Deep Space and Planetary Probes 1958-2000, Monographs in Aerospace History No. 24, by Asif A. Siddiqi
National Space Science Data Center, http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/
Solar System Log by Andrew Wilson, published 1987 by Jane's Publishing Co. Ltd.
NASA initially conceived of the Surveyor program as a landing and orbiting robotic lunar project, but it scaled down plans to a more specific program of 10 lunar soft-landers (7 were eventually launched) geared toward basic engineering goals rather than scientific exploration.
The primary scientific instrument was an imaging system. Unlike the Soviet Luna landers, Surveyor was a true soft-lander, comprising a 3-meter-tall vehicle based on a 27-kilogram, thin-walled aluminum triangular structure with one of three legs at each corner and a large solid-propellant retrorocket engine (that comprised over 60 percent of the spacecraft's overall mass) in the center.
The spacecraft was equipped with a Doppler velocity-sensing system that fed information into the spacecraft computer to implement a controllable descent to the surface. Each of the three landing pads also carried aircraft-type shock absorbers and strain gauges to provide data on landing characteristics, important for future Apollo missions.
Surveyor 1, the first in the series, was an unprecedented success. NASA accomplished the first true soft-landing on the Moon on its very first try when the probe landed in the southwest region of the Ocean of Storms at 06:17:36 UT on 2 June 1966, just 63.6 hours after launch from Cape Canaveral. Touchdown coordinates were 2°27' south latitude and 43°13' west longitude, just 14 kilometers from the planned target.
At landing, the spacecraft weighed 294.3 kilograms. The initial panoramic views from the lunar surface indicated that Surveyor 1 was resting in a 100-kilometer-diameter crater that contained boulders of more than one meter in length scattered all around. The photos showed crestlines of low mountains in the distant horizon. The lander transmitted 11,350 images over two separate communications sessions by 6 July.
Although the primary mission was completed by 13 July, NASA maintained contact until 7 January 1967. Without doubt, Surveyor 1 was one of the great successes of NASA's early lunar and interplanetary program.

Since Ascension: Storm of Souls is both a standalone and expansion to Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer, is there any reason to buy COTG? SOS adds new mechanics and seems to have better artwork.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Board & Card Games Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people who like playing board games, designing board games or modifying the rules of existing board games. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I own all of the Ascension blocks and personally play CotG the most since the minimal mechanics allow it to be more accessible to my wife. I find it as a good introduction into the world of Ascension and then once she becomes more comfortable with it, I'll pull out the other blocks :-)
Not to be Captain Obvious, but you would buy CotG if you want the cards.
I quickly glanced at the card list and a few "must-haves" stuck out:
Enlightened: Master Dhartha, Twofold Askara, and Tablet of Time's Dawn (though you might NOT want the possibility of infinitely many turns...)
Mechana: all the constructs in this set are valuable, Burrower Mark II maybe not as much.

All figures should be submitted electronically via the submission system. Figures
should be numbered sequentially in the order in which they are referred to in the text.
Captions to figures should be provided separately in the manuscript file. Please submit one file per figure.
Please aim to keep lettering on figures to a minimum, and ensure you use SI units
(e.g. K) throughout.
Only those figures that are necessary to illustrate the techniques or results described will be published;
any others will be deposited.
For any figures that have been published previously, please ensure you obtain permission from
the copyright holder prior to submitting your article to us. Please also forward a copy of the permission letter
to the IUCr.
Line weights should be between
0.35 and 1.5pt at final size. Please ensure that fonts are embedded. For embedded images, please follow the
guidelines for TIFF below.
Colour images should have a resolution of at least 400 d.p.i. (dots per inch) at final size.
Monochrome images (black line art on a white background) and greyscale images should have a minimum resolution
of 600 d.p.i.
TIFF files should generally be compressed. TIFF supports several lossless compression schemes (such as LZW
and zip) ensuring that file sizes are kept to a minimum for easy file transfer. Compression schemes
that are lossy (such as JPEG compression) should be avoided.
This is a resolution-independent format, used mainly for simple plots such as packing and ellipsoid plots.
The following two figures demonstrate the standard of final reproduction achieved from different
resolutions and file formats.
A journal page has a two-column design, and most figures will be sized to fit a single-column width (8.85 cm) when published. In exceptional circumstances,
figures will be sized to fit either part-page width (12 cm) or full-page width (18 cm).
Submitted artwork should be single-column width or larger (at the resolutions given in Section 2).
Where a figure is made up of several parts, please provide a single composite figure with the individual
parts labelled (a), (b), (c) etc. Vertical and horizontal arrangements are acceptable.
Please consider the
overall width and height of a journal page (approximately 18 x 24 cm) before laying out a composite figure.
Composite figures should be no larger than one journal page; if more space is needed, please create a
new figure.
The following illustration shows a possible way of combining three related figures as one, with the
individual parts arranged vertically.
Please use only the following standard fonts in your artwork:
Any non-standard fonts will be converted during the production process, which may lead to problems such
as missing symbols or overlapping characters.
Labelling should generally be roman (upright) and consistent with the text of your article. At the final
published size, the labelling on the figure should be approximately 8pt.
Use scientific (exponential) notation where appropriate. Do not use E notation e.g. 6.28E+08 should be
written as 6.28 × 108. Where scientific notation is used for data labels in figures, please put the multiplier in the axis label
and not next to the interval (tick) marks, as this improves the clarity of presentation. See the example below.
As colour printing is very expensive, please only use colour in your figures where absolutely necessary.
Colour figures may be converted to greyscale for print publication if it is judged that colour
reproduction is not strictly necessary. Even if your article is published in colour, please bear in mind that it may be
photocopied or printed on a black and white printer. You may also wish to consider how your figures may look to someone who is
and there are useful tools available for this at
http://jfly.iam.u-tokyo.ac.jp/html/color_blind/ and
Figure captions too should be colour independent, i.e. they should not mention specific colours used for differentiating parts of a figure.
The following figure shows a colour bar chart and its greyscale equivalent. In the top half of the figure, the colours chosen do not appear
distinct when the figure is converted to greyscale.
To help the reader distinguish between the bars, either choose a different set of colours (lower half of figure) or add
appropriate labelling.
It is important that you choose colours that will display clearly in greyscale. Light yellow, light green and light blue in
particular display poorly in greyscale. The figure below illustrates how light yellow can virtually disappear in greyscale.
Please also consider using different-shaped symbols as well as, or instead of, different colours to distinguish
between different sets of data. In the following example, the symbol in red is also a different shape to the black symbol, which makes
it distinct in both colour and greyscale reproduction.
For best colour reproduction, you need to take account of the colour space that you are using to create
your diagram and the colour space that will be used during production of the journal.
RGB stands for Red Green and Blue, which refers to the red, green and blue pixels that are used to display
colours on a computer monitor. The four-colour printing process, however, uses cyan, magenta, yellow and black
(CMYK) inks.
The CMYK colour space contains a smaller range of colours than RGB, and conversion of RGB to CMYK often has
an effect on the colours in the final image. If accurate reproduction of your colour image in print is important,
then please supply the file in CMYK format.
The following figure illustrates the difference between the two colour spaces, RGB and CMYK.
Images should be cropped to remove any extraneous white space around the area of interest.
Please do not draw a box around figures. In addition, images should not include a description of the figure,
e.g. Fig. 1, or the figure caption.
Chemical schemes should be complete, showing all species present in the structure, including counter-ions and
solvent molecules in their correct proportions. Charges on ionic species should be included. The relative or
absolute stereochemistry should be shown and should be consistent with the ellipsoid
plot. Hydrogen bonding should not normally be indicated.
As a guide to the final scheme size, benzene rings should generally have a width of 5-8 mm on the final
version (schemes will be sized to fit a single-column width, i.e. 8.85 cm). Labelling should be roman and approximately 8pt. Compound labels, e.g. (I), (II) etc.,
should be
shown under the relevant structures. Avoid the use of colour, and arrange the scheme to take the least amount
of vertical space. See the following example:
For IUPAC recommendations on
graphical representation standards for chemical schemes,
click here.
Ellipsoid plots should generally be provided on a white background. Atom-site labels should not contain parentheses
[e.g. C1 and not C(1)] and should match labels used in the atom-site lists and text. The labels should not overlap or touch ellipsoids or bonds.
As a guide to the final figure size, an in-plane carbon–carbon bond should generally measure about
1.0-1.5 cm on the final version (ellipsoid plots will usually be sized to fit a single-column width). Labelling should be roman and approximately 8pt. The ellipsoid probability should be stated in the
figure caption.
Packing diagrams should show the cell-axis directions (labelled a, b, c) and the cell origin (labelled O), but
should normally exclude H-atom sites unless these are involved in hydrogen bonding.
Please submit left and right views as a single figure. Atom labelling should be on both left and right
views in stereo perspective.
IUCr journals offer authors the chance to prepare enhanced figures (interactive visualizations of crystal
and molecular structures). More information on enhanced figures can be found by
clicking here.
Images submitted with manuscripts should correctly represent the original data. We encourage authors
to make only minimal alterations to their images using digital graphics programs (for example, to add labelling).
Despite having followed these guidelines, the figures in my proof appear to be of poor quality.
Why is this?
For the purposes of proofing out an article, figures are `downsampled' (to reduce the amount of image information
they contain). This results in a reduction in the overall file size, which makes it easier and quicker to download
the proof (although of course there is a reduction in the image quality). The final files used for publishing print
versions of the journals include the non-downsampled figures.
How should I submit my figures and figure captions?
Include the figure captions at the end of your manuscript. For initial submission, the figures should ideally be one
per page with identifying text, e.g. Fig. 1, placed below the figure. The identifying text should not
be part of the Figure itself, but part of the document. On acceptance, you will be asked to upload the source
files for your figures.
Why has my table been converted to a figure?
Where a table requires any additional formatting, such as shading, it will be published as a figure.
If you cannot find an answer to your artwork question on this page, then please contact email@example.com.

Suppose you're out in the Everglades watching a six-foot alligator when out of the reeds springs an even bigger python that suddenly latches on to it and attempts to devour it whole! The non-venomous Burmese python's natural habitat may be Southeast Asia but due to human intervention these reptilian creatures are coming to the Everglades near you! It became a startling phenomenon a decade ago not only due to owners releasing their pets and accidental escapes but breeding among the freed pythons as well. A female Burmese python can lay up to 100 eggs with an average of about 36 eggs. That's a lot of pythons from even one snake! Especially for a breed that can grow up to 23 feet long and weigh upwards of 200 lbs.
According to a recently published study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, their arrival has heralded a severe decrease in the population of several native mammals including raccoons and opossums. Researchers are having a more difficult time monitoring the effects of the python's presence on endangered animals such as the Florida panther. Even if they don't interact with the panthers, they are still affecting them by consuming their food source of small mammals.
It's difficult to estimate how many pythons are slithering free throughout the one and a half million acres of the Everglades. In an interview with PBS, Shawn Heflick, President of the Central Florida Herpetological Society, says he believes "that the true number is closer to between 5,000 to 10,000 animals. The 100,000 plus numbers are inflated and sensationalized by politicians and some of the local media, but no one has the real answer to exactly how many are out there."
Park personnel have taken preventative measures with Ivegot1.org where visitors can report sightings and learn about the species as well as offensive measures such as using detection dogs to sniff out the snakes. Recently the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service made it illegal to import these pythons into the U.S. as well as transport them across state lines. Even with these efforts only time will tell as to whether the situation can be contained.

Guest blog by Lisa Rotter, First Responder with the ASPCA Field Investigations and Response Team.
Sometimes it's the smallest things that make the biggest impression. In my first year of responding with the ASPCA's Field Investigations and Response Team, I have been on all sorts of memorable deployments. Today I find myself in the quiet town of Binghamton, New York, responding to the devastating floods that submerged much of the surrounding counties.
Our job is simple—we are providing a safe, clean environment for pets while their families sort through the rubble of their waterlogged homes, trying to regain some semblance of normalcy. We are proud to provide them with this service as they feverishly work to bring their companions home.
Yet what strikes me most is not the families of our resident pets, but rather the members of the community who heeded the call for help. On our first day here, we put out a request through the local media for donations of cleaning products and pet supplies. Most of the surrounding stores were closed due to flooding, and many of the roads are impassable, making the delivery of outside supplies nearly impossible. We expected a community response, but nothing quite prepared us for the one we got.
The very next day a caravan of cars began pulling up to the emergency shelter. People began unloading trunks full of supplies and offering their time to wash bowls or clean cages. Some people quietly strode up to our donation pile and set down a single roll of paper towels. Others dropped off blankets and towels. We were simply overwhelmed by the outpouring of generosity. These people had just lost their homes, their town was nearly destroyed, yet here they were—united.
One story that particularly stood out was of a 14-year-old girl. Despite her family's home being uninhabitable, she found the time to go around the community to raise donations—and proudly handed us the $50 she'd collected.
This deployment is truly a shining example of people reaching out to one another in a time of need. Binghamton residents may live in a small town, but you'd be hard-pressed to find people with bigger hearts than theirs.
