BESUSGITATION AND ARTIFICIAL BESP'BATION APPARATUS Application fled September 29, 1827. Serial No. 222,867.
This invention relates to apparatus for resuscitation and producing artificial resplration, and relates particularlyto the type of apparatus by means of which a gas, generally oxygen, may be caused to fiow in controlled amounts and at controlled pressures from a source of supply to the lungs of a patient.
The problem of reviving drowned or asphyxiated persons and causing incipient respiration in infants is an old one, and numerous forms of respiratory apparatus have heretofore been produced for the solution of this problem. But from long experience with many of these devices it has been found that for one reason or another they are all open to serious objections. The tissues and membranes of the lungs are very fragile and the greatest skill is required on the part of the person administering gas by any present known form of apparatus to avoid bursting them, an event which practically always results in the death of the patient.
The principal object of the present invention, therefore, is the provision of apparatus for resuscitation or for producing artificial respiration, which may be operated in an effective manner by anyone and which in all cases may be operated with the utmost assurance that no matter how unskillful the operator, there will neverbe any danger that the patient will have his lungs ruptured or be otherwise injured through any fault or failure of the apparatus itself.-
Another object is the provision of such apparatus which is simple in all its parts and hence cheap to manufacture and easy to assemble, operate andrepair.
Another object is the provision of such apparatus comprising means for instantaneously relieving gas above a determined maximum pressure and for simultaneously and continuously indicating the normal prevailing pressure of the gas as it is supplied to the patient.
\Another object is the provision of an improved valve for controlling the flow of gas. Another object is the provision of an improved form of mask and airway for delivering the gas to the lungs of the patient.
Further objects and certain features 'of novelty of the invention will be ap arent to those skilled in the art from the ollowing description, taken in connection with the accompany ng drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which:
Figure 1 is a view of the assembled apparatus showing the method of its employment;
Figure 2 is a vertical sectional, view of one of the pressure reducing devices employed in connection with this invention;
Figure 3 is a central vertical section through the control valve employed;
Figure 4 is a sectional view of our improved type of mask;
Figure 5 is an enlarged vertical section through the manometric pressure relieving ang indicating device shown in Figure 1; an
Figures 6 to 8 are diagrammatic views to illustrate the use of the pressure relieving 7 and indicating device.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, wherein like reference characters are applied to like parts throu bout the several views, A denotes a gas ta or reservoir of 15 the usual and well-known type connected by a conduit generally designated by the letter B to a face mask C shown in Figure 1 in its correct operating position upon the patients head. Between the cylinder A and the mask 0 there are arranged along the tube B several devices for controlling the flow of the gas.
Some of these devices will be described separately and more in detail hereinafter, but for the present the may be sufiiciently identified in the order of their position along the conduit from the tank toward the mask as a cutofi valve D, a high pressure reducing device E, a low pressure reducing device F, and a control valve G. Also a pressure indicating no i and relieving device H is connected by a tube K to the conduit B beyond the control valve G and as near the mask C as practicable, while a time indicating device M, for example a metronome, is provided to guide the operator 05 in certain cases in the actuation of the valve G or, if desired, to govern the movements of the valve directly.
The conduit B then may be stiid to consist of several sections comprising: section 10 between the cylinder A and the valve D, the section 11 between the valve D and the high pressure reducing device E, the section 12 between the high pressure reducing device E and the low pressure reducing device F, the section 13 between the low pressure reducing device F and the control valve G, and the section 15 between the control valve G and the mask C. The cut-off valve D is controlled by a hand wheel 17 secured upon the stem 17 of the valve.
The high pressure reducing device E is of the usual form and includes an inlet pressure gauge 18 and an outlet pressure gauge 19.
The low pressure reducin device employed may be one of many wellnown types, but preferably the reducing device which we employ is constructed as shown in detail 1n Figure 2. It comprises a lower shell 20 and an upper shell 21 between which a diaphragm 22 of leather or similar flexible material is clamped by bolts 23. The upper shell 21 is extended centrally to form a hollow cap 24. The interior of this cap is threaded to receive an adjusting nut 25 bearing upon the upper end of a spring 26. The lower end of the spring rests on a metal plate carried by the upper side of the diaphragm 22 and the pressure at which the diaphragm operates to open and close the valve of the device is regulated by turning the nut 25. A cover 27 is secured upon the cap 24 above the nut to protect the same from unauthorized or accidental adjustments. The lower shell 20 is provided with an inlet port 28 and an outlet port 29, the inlet port 28 preferably being made through a bushing 28 providing a seat 28 for a valve plug 30. The other end of the valve plug 30 is bifurcated and carries a pin 31 across the slit thus formed.
The valve plug 30 is operated by a bell crank lever 32 which is provided with a disc or ball end 32 comprising one arm of the bell crank and a lever 32 comprising the other arm of the bell crank. A pin 33 passing through the bell crank lever 32 near the juncture of its arms and through a bracket 34 car ried by the bushing 28 serves as a pivot for the movement of the lever. A link 35 connected to a plate 36 secured to the diaphragm 22 at one end and to the outer end of the lever 32 at its other end by pins-37 and 38 respectively serves as an operative connection between the diaphragm and the bell crank lever operating the valve plug. From this arrangement, it is seen that the valve plug 30 will be moved in accordance with movements of the diaphragm 22 which in turn is controlled in its movement by the pressure of the gas within the lower shell 20, that is, the valve is closed in response to the pressure of the outflowing gas since an excessive pressure existing in the chamber beneath the diaphragm will serve to close the valve plug 30 against its seat. Preferably the casing of the device is made of aluminum or some light metal, since in ractice it must be made quite large to provi e the degree of sensitiveness desired.
The hand valve is shown in detail in Figure 3. It comprises. a valve body 40 axially apertured at 40 and having an inlet port 41, an outlet port 42 and a combined inlet and outlet port 43. Each of these ports has an associated nipple by means of which tubes may be attached. The lower end of the valve aperture is closed by aplug 44 and intermediate its ends this aperture changes diameter to provide an annular seat 45 for a valve member 46 mounted on spindle 47. The upper end of the spindle pro ects through a perforated spider 48 to the exterior of the valve body, being slidably supported centrally of the aperture 40 by the spider, and its cylindrical lower end is adapted to extend within a cylindrical recess 49 in plug 44 when the valve is opened, and to be uided thereby. A spring confined between p ug 44 and valve 46 normally maintains the valve seated. Upon the upper end of the valve spindle is mounted a second-valve member 50 which is adapted to seat upon the top of the valve body, thus closing the upper end of aperture 40.
WVhen the valve spindle is lowered by means of the hand lever 51 all three ports 41, 42 and 43 are brought into communication and the opening to the atmosphere is blocked by valve member 50. Oxygen may therefore flow to the mask G and to the safety device H. When valve 46 is closed the oxygen supply is interrupted but both ports 42 and 43 are brought into communication with the atmosphere. In this position of the valve the patient may exhale and the liquid columns of the safety device return to zero position. Tube 15, connecting the hand valve and face mask C, is preferably short in length and relatively large in diameter so that the gases may freely pass therethrough in both directions and so that there may be no stagnant gases passing back and forth in this tube.
The mask C is shown most clearly in Figure 4 where it may be seen to comprise a shield 60 adapted to fit over the mouth, nose and chin of the patient. This shield is generally funnel-shaped and at its smaller end is provided with an aperture 61. The entire larger end of the shield is lined on the edges by a soft rubber or inflatable rubber pad 63 for sealing the space between the face of the patient and the shield. A nipple 64 is provided with a reduced portion 65 extending through the aperture 61 of the shield and is threaded to receive a nut '66 which serves to clamp the shield against a shoulder :formed at the end of the reduced portion' 65. A further reduced portion 67 is formed on the nipple within the shield 60'and upon this por- L? tion 67 a catheter or throat tube 68 of stifily flexible material is secured.
This tube hasa suitable port 69 in its extreme end, either axially disposed or laterally, as shown in the drawings. The face piece or mask provides a clear unobstructed passage for the gas from the machine to the lungsof the patient without change in the pressure of the gas. Simply placing the mask over the face with the airway over the tongue provides this free passage, which is absolutely essential in resuscitation of an asphyxia-ted newly born baby, for instance, whose tissues are relaxed. If this airway were not used, the results sought by the use of the entire apparatus would be largely defeated because the relaxed tongue would be pushed into the throat, and in such case, if suiiicient pressure were employed to force oxygen past this obstruction at all times, there would be great danger of suddenly filling the lungs with gas under such pressure that the lungs would be ruptured. With the improved face piece, however, it is entirely possible to use an entirely safe and non-fluctuating pressure. This also holds true in the 7 resuscitation of other unconscious patients.
Although two pressure reducing devices have been employed in order to safeguard the patient, it is desirable to have further assurance that the patient will not be injured by excessive pressure under any conditions whatsoever. To this end the pressure relieving device H is employed in connection with the other elements of the combination. This device is intended not only to relieve excessive ressure of the gas. but also to give a constant indication which may be readily read showing exactly at what pressure gas is being supplied to the patient. In the preferred form of this device illustrated in the drawings, a plurality of upstanding tubes 70, 71,
72 are connected to a base 7 3 and have intercommunication therethrough by way of the passage or bore 74, as clearly shown in Figure 5. One of these tubes, for example the central one 71, is connected by the tube K to the conduit B bymeans of the port 42 of valve G. The connection of the tube K with the conduit .15 is arranged as near the mask C as conveniently possible. In all cases, the
connection is made between the mask and the valve member 46. Thus pressure of the gas existing in the conduit B beyond the valve G is permitted to have access to the upper end of the tube 71. The pressure-relieving device in its preferred form is of the mano metric type and is supplied with a liquid, preferably a light liquid such as water, until it rises to the desired height in all three tubes. A valve 7 is provided at the upper end of the tube 71 for relieving any vapor pressure existing in that tube to the atmosphere, in order to insure that the liquid in initial position stands at a uniform level in the three tubes. The tube is secured at its upper end in a sleeve of an extension cap 76 attached to the tube 71 by a packing gland 77. The tube is sealed to the base 73 by another packing gland 78. The tube 72 is provided at or near its upper end with a reservoir 79. This reservoir in the preferred form comprises a greatly enlarged cup which. is mounted-on a hollow stem slidable within the tube 72. A packing gland 81, threaded on the tube 72, provides a water-tight joint between the tube 72 and the hollow stem 80.
A marker is slidably mounted on one of the tubes, preferably 71, to indicate the height of liquid therein. This marker comprises a metallic frame having a bottom pointer 86 which initially is adjusted to the original or zero level of the liquid, that is, the level at which the liquid stands when at the same height in all three tubes, a second pointer 87 positioned at a set distance above the zero point 86 and may, for example, indicate the height, to which liquid will rise in the tube 70 at the desired pressure for infants, while a third pointer 88 at a fixed distance above the pointer 87 may indicate the allowable pressure for adults. The marker may conveniently be clamped in any set position by bolts89 passing through the split collars 90 thereon. From this description it will be seen that the marker 85 is positioned after the tubes have been supplied with the body of liquid so that the zero pointer coincides with the upper level of the liquid. Opposite the pointers 86, 87, 88 corresponding pointers 92, 93, 94 are placed adjacent the tube 72. The cup 79 is provided with a mark to be positioned adjacent one of the pointers 93 or 94 when the liquid stands at the zero pointer in the tubes. As shown the annular upper edge 95 of a flange on the cup serves as the adjusting mark thereon.
The operation of the apparatus will be understood from the above disclosure and the diagrammatic illustration of Figures 6 to 8. The parts are assembled as shown in Figure 1 with the tank A filled with the gas to be inj ected and the valve Dopening communication between the same and the conduit B. The mask C is not as yet in place on the face of the patient. The relief. valve 75 at the upper end of tube 71 is opened and liquid is poured into the cup 79 until it stands'at the desired uniform height in all three tubes. The marker 85 is loosened and moved along the tube 71 until thepointer 86 is even with the upper surface of liquid in the tube 70, the cup 7 9 at the same time being moved until the upper edge 95 of its base flange coincides with a selected one of the pointers 93 or 94. The marker is then clamped in position. This position of parts is shown in Figure 6, the cup being set at the height of the pointer 93 so the apparatus may be used for infants.
The valve 75 is closed and the conduit B is v pinched shut along the section 15, while the hand valve lever 51 is squeezed to move the valve to its upper scat. Gas from the tank A passing through the conduit B and tube K will press upon the top surface of the liquid in tube 71 and cause itto move from that tube toward the two side tubes 7 O and 72. If the pressure is great enough it will cause some of the gas to bubble out of tube 72 and cup 79. While gas is thus free to pass to the tube 71 the adjusting nut 25 in thepressure reducing device F is turned until the pressure of gas reaching the tube 71 is such that the liquid in tubes 70 and" 72 stands at the pointers 87 and 93 and a very small portion of gas bubbles out through tube 72. The apparatus at this stage after release of the Va Ve handle and conduit section 15 is conditioned for immediate use upon infants.
The mask is applied to the face of a patient as shown in Figure 1, the catheter airway tube being over the tongue and projected into the pharynx. A slight pressure will hold the pad 63 firmly against the patients face and the catheter tube in correct position. For newborn infants a single injection of gas (oxygen) is usually sufficient to supply the required initial inflation of the lungs and start them breathing so in this case the valve handle need only be pressed down once and held down for the required period. It may, however, be necessary to supply a number of forced inhalations to start natural breathing and in order to time the operation of the valve to correspond with the natural period of breathing the operator will press the valve handle 51 in timed response to. his own breathing or alternatively start the metronome M and press the handle in timed response to the beats of that time indicator. As soon as the valve member 46 is moved from its seat gas will flow from the inlet I port 41 through aperture 40a and port 43 to the lungs of the patient. Some gas will escape around the valve member 50 to the at mosphere through apertures in the spider 48 but as the valve member 50 requires only a short period of time to pass to its seat the amount of gas lost in this manner will be negligible. This stage of conditions is represented in Figure 7 where it is seen that the liquid has not been driven completely from the central tube 71 and does not rise quite to the pointer infants in the outer tubes.
When the handle is released the valve member 50 leaves its seat and immediately both ure or sticking of valves E or F it will pass through tube K and escape by bubblin outof cup 79 as clearly shown in Figure 8.
ere it is seen that all the li uid has been expelled from the lower end of tube 71 and has divided into two bodies in the channel 74, one toward tube and the other toward tube 7 2. After division little liquid will be forced u tube 70 due to the fact that the tube is sma l and the level is quickly raised; but on the other hand, the body dividing toward tube 72 will quickly be forced so far in that direction that as'can reach the lower end of the tube and ubble out due to the fact that a large volume of the liquid can be forced up the tube and into the cup 79 without appreciably raising the liquid level therein.
When the excess pressure condition is relieved all of the liquid is immediately available as before, since none of it has been forced out of the system, the cup returning all that it, received in the original amount. The operator is thus permitted to continue his efforts at resuscitation in spiteof the excess pressure condition without danger of supplying gas at a dangerous pressure to the patient and without interruption due to loss of the body of liquid in the pressure indicating and relieving device.
It will be evident from the above disclosure that various departures may be made from the embodiment particularly described without departing from the spirit of the invention and the applicant does not desire the invention to be re arded as limited except by the prior art an the appended claims.

Fisher: About birds, bees and a chicken
I had a very scientific method of teaching my kids about the birds and the bees.
Basically, I bought books with official-sounding titles, put them on their beds and then ran like crazy.
As long as your kids are old enough to read, I definitely recommend this as the most effective way to educate them about sex.
Believe me, they really are not going to want to talk to you about it, at least once they're over the "Daddy, where do babies come from?" phase of life.
The experts who write those books certainly know a lot more about sex than I do, especially when you consider I didn't even have to do anything described in their pages to obtain my own children, who were adopted.
Unless the books talk about filling out 3,000 pages of forms and putting up with endless snooping social workers who want to look in your refrigerator and check the pills in your medicine cabinet, which is what I had to do to adopt my kids.
When I bought "The Underground Guide to Teenage Sexuality," which answers a lot of graphic questions that your kid wants to know but would never ask you in a hundred million years, I left it on my son's desk and told him it was there. He replied, very nonchalantly, "OK, I don't think I'll read it, but whatever."
Later, I found the book had mysteriously moved around to various places and finally migrated into his sister's room, which led me to believe someone was picking it up, if only Buddy the Wonder Dog.
Recently, I came across the book in my cluttered bookcase and decided maybe the kids could use a refresher. I pulled it out and placed it on the living room coffee table.
No one has mentioned it lying there for the past week, but it has been moved from its original location, so I think at least the poltergeists or mice were reading it.
You might be thinking, "Well, that's all very nice if your kids are old enough to read, but what if they haven't learned yet?"
Believe me, if your children can't read, they can still watch TV.
Just turn on reruns of "Sex and the City," "Californication" or virtually any program that airs after 9 p.m. They'll learn all about sex, and you won't even have to say a word.

Ella Payne is sixteen now. She's still Niall's little princess, and still Liam and Meg's little sister. She's really everyone's little sister. It really can't get any better. Meg and Louis finally got to settle down together. They think it's all over. Daddy and Mummy are gone. No more troubles.
It's much farther than that. When they shoved everything behind them into the doors and locked it with a key, there was one door they forgot about. Once a new neighbor unexpectedly moves in, they've only realized they've gotten much deeper into the water, much closer to danger.
Relationships will be tested, tears will be shed, and if anything, there will be blood.

Sure, the standard calculator app that comes already installed on your phone or tablet can perform mathematical calculations, but the MyScript Calculator app can do so by reading your own handwriting. This free app supports all of the basic operations encountered in algebra and geometry, including powers/exponentials, logarithms, and trigonometry expressions. When the app is opened, users are shown a blank screen onto which they can write out mathematical expressions and equations in their own handwriting. This handwriting is then converted to basic text depicting the expression, and an answer is calculated and displayed. The app comes with a brief video tutorial to familiarize new users with the mechanics, and the settings tab includes options such as the number of decimal places to display. Screenshots of your completed calculations can be emailed.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

I've been doing this blogging thing for going on six years. In the blogging world, that puts me at near ancient. Blogging predecessors, those who began earlier than I did (we're talking Y2K here, folks), would probably say they've doing it since the age of the dinosaurs. Maybe they're right.
But let's focus on me. Or rather, let's focus on this blog.
Changes were made on a regular basis, often in design but also in content. My restlessness, coupled with not knowing myself, had me changing things on a near daily basis. Ridiculous, I know, but that's how I roll.
While reading my friend Liz's recently relaunched blog, the wheels in my head started to turn ever so slowly.
Side note: A snail could move faster.
An hour later I stared at my blog's dashboard wondering what to do. Then I clicked on posts while also looking at the site itself.
Page after page of nonsense. Posts that were indicative of someone who had no clue what they were doing but were pretending they did. Sure, we're all our own worst critic and this, of course is no different. Still, something bugged me. So I decided to kill my blog. Well, most of it.
I decided that I couldn't keep my blog as it had been for so long. I couldn't keep the crappy posts that made a high school essay look like a literary masterpiece.
Post after post went from published to draft. Some met with the virtual trash can. The rest are still sitting in draft, awaiting their fate. Waiting for their number to be called. Waiting to find out if they'll ever see the light of day again or if they'll be sent to the trash.
At this point, I have no damn clue what is going to happen with this blog. I haven't had a need, much less an interest, in writing in a couple months now. Stress and being cooped up daily with little going on other than a daily "How are we going to get through this unemployment nonsense?" freak out doesn't encourage writing. Having a spouse who is constantly home doesn't help either.
I'm very much a solitary writer so when I want to write I need people, husband included, to be away from me and leaving me alone. My husband did leave the apartment numerous times during his search for full-time employment, but I was often not in any mood to write.
In hindsight I probably should have clicked the X on my game's tab and started writing anyway just so my writerly habits wouldn't go bye bye.
But, they did and this blog went silent and has been for what…2 months now?
When I started unpublishing posts, I'd often read older posts to be sure that killing this blog was really what I wanted to do. Eventually I became ruthless as I read posts from 2012, 2013, and part of 2014.
After doing so, I had only one thought after reading most of them: "What was I thinking?"
As I said, I have no clue what is going to happen to this blog. I've had this site for too long to let it go when the domain expires in July. That and knowing me the writerly senses will start tingling sooner or later and I'll be busy tapping away at the keyboard.
My husband is employed again and my only distraction is my four-legged furballs. Thankfully they spend much of their day napping in various places around the apartment.
I might write once a week. I might not. I'm still trying to figure it out. In the meantime, I'm going to do what I can to not let another two months go by without a post. But don't hold your breath. Just don't.

This is my 4th colonoscopy and drinking this stuff gets worse the older I get. There MUST be a better way. Nauseous, headachy and half a bottle to go. Oh, I think the yellow stuff coming out at the end is bile.

This is not suppose to be pleasant. This is prep for a medical procedure. IMO it is a wonderful alternative to exploratory surgery. This certainly appeals to me more than being cut open just to look around. My first prep RX was not acceptable. I told my pharmacist I refused to pay $113 for prep RX.

When it comes to Hollywood etiquette on the movie set, nobody gave better advice than Spencer Tracy. Asked by a young actor what advice the master could offer him, Tracy replied, "Know your lines and don't bump into the furniture." Strangely enough, no one has collected Hollywood's movie set rules of behavior until now. Backed by the industry and film unions, there is no other resource book like ON THE SET: The Hidden Rules of Movie Making Etiquette by Paul J. Salamoff, an over twenty-year veteran of the movie industry with credits spanning over fifty films, ten television series and numerous commercials.
Whether you are new to the industry, a seasoned pro or just interested in what the credits mean at the end of your favorite movie, this book is for you. Salamoff has worked in the industry as a Special F/X Make-Up Artist, Producer, Writer, Director and Executive and has compiled what he has learned throughout the years on movie sets to help others. "Not only will you learn about the different jobs on the movie set but, for the first time, you'll discover the hidden rules of movie set etiquette they don't teach you in film schools," explains Salamoff.
Each chapter covers a different movie set department (i.e. talent, grip, costume, electric, etc.). Offering practical advice from over 80 top industry professionals this vitally useful information is presented with wit and humor and packed with anecdotal advice that will not only help those wanting to break into film but actually help them succeed while trying

Read an Excerpt
There is nothing in the world to prepare you for what it is actually like on the set of a motion picture. The experience is truly like something out of a movie itself. If you think I'm joking, just consider the fact that an average film costs in excess of $40 million dollars with many upwards of $120 million. Studios spend a great deal of time and effort into making sure that they see a return on their investment, sometimes even matching the budget of the movie with an equally expensive ad campaign. Not only are jobs at stake but also the studios themselves. This fear of public and financial failure trickles down all the way to the set where the films are being shot. Studios watch over Executives, Executives watch over Producers, Producers watch over Directors, and on and on down the chain. Now this isn't to say that working on a set can't be a fun and rewarding experience, it's just important to be prepared for the type of environment it is. Even down to the most miniscule student film, you have to remember that somebody's dime and/or reputation is on the line. A good movie set becomes like an extended family where people work together for the well being of the group and a common good (i.e. completing the film on time and on budget). There will be squabbles and disagreements but the end result is people pulling together. On the other hand, a bad movie set can become a war of attrition where people are constantly fighting and working against each other culminating in a general feeling of oppression and dissatisfaction. Let's face facts, movie sets are primarily made up of artists and most artists are known for their egos and stubbornness. Learning how to deal with people and be easy to deal with yourself is just as important as doing your job competently.

Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve, situated on a scenic peninsula extending into Long Island Sound, offers miles of bridle paths, walking, jogging, hiking, biking, cross-country skiing and nature trails over acres of woodland, meadows, rock shoreline and salt marsh. The park has beautiful gardens, excellent fishing and scuba diving by permit. In 1921 Marshall Field III purchased 1750 acres of Lloyd Neck to create one large estate. He named the land after its Matinecock Indian name, Caumsett, which means "place by a sharp rock."
Field created a self-sufficient English-style estate as a combination country club, hunting preserve, and home, complete with its own water and electrical supply. When the estate was finished, it had facilities for every sport except golf. Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve was acquired by New York State in 1961. The park is diverse; fishing, hiking, bird watching, nature photography, and nature study are among the many activities visitors may pursue. The polo pony barn provides lessons, boarding & equestrian services as part of the Lloyd Harbor Equestrian Center. The summer cottage houses the Nassau BOCES Outdoor and Environmental Education Program. The historic Henry Lloyd Manor house built in 1711 is leased to the Lloyd Harbor Historical Society. The Historical Society provides historic interpretation of life during the colonial period.
For information on educational opportunities & programs in Long Island State Parks, please visit Long Island Environmental Interpretive Center.
*Engagement, wedding, family, and other professional photography at Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve requires a permit which must be obtained prior to your arrival. The permit application can be acquired from the Permit Office at 631-321-3515 or online here. The application must be received no less than 10 business days prior to the date of event.

The Caumsett BCA is within Caumsett State Historic Park. Caumsett is part of NY Audubon's Huntington and Northport Bays' Important Bird Area. It is on Lloyd Neck, a peninsula on the north shore of Long Island jutting out into Long Island Sound. The Caumsett BCA is special because it has a variety of habitats that attract many different species of birds. About two-thirds of the Caumsett BCA is forest, predominately oak-tulip tree forest. Other habitats include successional old field, low salt marsh, marine eelgrass meadow, maritime beach, successional shrub land and salt shrub. The Caumsett BCA is also an important stopover for migratory songbirds that fly over Long Island Sound. Caumsett offers a variety of education and recreation programs including fishing, hiking, birding, nature photography, nature study and guided tours.
The site supports a high diversity of migratory birds, especially forest dwelling Neotropical migrants. Breeding birds include several species listed in New York as endangered, threatened or of special concern: Osprey (special concern), Piping Plover (state endangered and federal threatened), Common Tern (state threatened) and Least Tern (state threatened). Other state-listed species observed at Caumsett include Common Loon (special concern), Bald Eagle (state and federal threatened), Northern Harrier (threatened), Sharp-shinned Hawk (special concern), Cooper's Hawk (special concern), Northern Goshawk (special concern), Red-shouldered Hawk (special concern), Golden Eagle (endangered), Peregrine Falcon (endangered), Short-eared Owl (endangered), Whip-poor-will (special concern), Red-headed Woodpecker (special concern), Vesper Sparrow (special concern) and Grasshopper Sparrow (special concern). Piping Plovers have nested at Lloyd Point since at least 1988 with up to 13 nesting pairs. Least Terns have nested nearly every year since at least 1977 with up to 100 pairs breeding at the Point. Common Terns first nested in 1998. Protection and management of nestlings and fledglings of these species at risk is done by State Parks. All three of these species are surveyed annually as part of the Long Island Colonial Waterbird and Piping Plover Survey.

During a business trip to Orillia, i stayed at the Lakeside inn, we had booked for 2 nights. I was expecting a simple motel room. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly and check in was very fast.
We choose the lake view room on the main level. Upon entering the room, i was frankly very pleasantly surprised.. Our room has a king size bed, large couch, LCD TV, DVD payer, etc. Room was very well furnished. It was spotlessly clean and had lost of info on local shopping and dining.I would defiantly compare the quality of the room to a Best Western or Holiday Inn.
The location is really amazing. Our room faced the lake and every evening we were treated an enthralling sunset.
As a business traveler, i defiantly appreciated the high speed internet, and manager was very kind in letting us use a printer and fax.
Frankly i could have stayed at any hotel, i found Lakeside inn to be a real Gem, it has a resort like location, top quality rooms, great service, friendly staff and yet 1/2 the prices you would spend at other larger hotels. I ended up booking for a week for our summer Stay-vacation.

Evangelical College Ends Students' Health Insurance Altogether To Avoid Covering Birth Control
Students have just a few weeks to shop for new plans.
In a dramatic stand against Obamacare's birth control coverage requirement, an evangelical college has opted to end its student health insurance plans altogether so it won't need to worry about indirectly facilitating Americans' access to contraception.
According to the Chicago Tribune, officials at Wheaton College, a conservative Christian school in Illinois, are eliminating health care coverage in a move that will affect about a quarter of the college's 3,000 undergraduate and graduate students. Now, those students have just a few weeks to shop for new plans before their current coverage ends.
Wheaton's student development vice president, Paul Chelsen, told students during an information session last week that individuals who are losing insurance may be eligible for "hardship funding" from the school to help them afford new plans.
"I acknowledge that students have been hurt by this decision and I regret that," Chelsen said during that session, according to a recording that was obtained by the Chicago Tribune. However, he added that the school believes this is the right move because the stakes are too high in the ongoing fight against the health law.
Wheaton College is currently challenging Obamacare in a case that officials hope may make it all the way to the Supreme Court. It's been an uphill battle for the Christian school; earlier this month, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit ruled against its arguments.
Essentially, officials at Wheaton object to the religious compromise laid out by the Obama administration two years ago. The workaround requires faith-based institutions that object to birth control to fill out a form to notify the government; then, insurance providers can directly extend contraception coverage to beneficiaries so that the institution itself doesn't have to be involved. Some religious leaders have accepted this compromise, but particularly right-wing critics of the health law — including Wheaton College — say that even the act of filling out a form makes them too complicit in providing coverage for certain forms of birth control.
Federal appeals courts haven't been very sympathetic to this point of view, and have consistently ruled that submitting a form does not pose a substantial burden to religious liberty.
The Seventh Circuit's ruling against Wheaton, which was seeking an emergency injunction against Obamacare's birth control policy while its legal case proceeds, "hastened the college's decision to drop the students' health care coverage," according to the Chicago Tribune.
Other conservative schools have made similar decisions during the contentious battle over Obamacare's contraceptive coverage requirement. Back in 2012, Franciscan University, a small Catholic college in Ohio, decided to drop its health insurance coverage for students instead of working to comply with Obamacare. Officials there said it was a preventative measure because they were afraid of "one day having to provide coverage for contraception."
Most religious groups in the United States don't oppose the use of birth control. Even the vast majority of Catholics — the group whose leadership has been most vocal in opposition to Obamacare's contraceptive mandate — say that birth control is morally acceptable.
Nonetheless, there's been an ongoing fight over the health care reform law, which requires employer-sponsored health plans to cover all FDA-approved methods of contraception, because some conservative religious groups argue that certain forms of birth control are abortifacients. Wheaton officials are among the right-wing critics who claim that IUDs and emergency contraception can actually end a pregnancy, even though scientists say otherwise.
Wheaton has recently been in the news because of other aspects of its conservative approach to campus life, too. Earlier this month, an openly gay but willingly celibate chaplain resigned from her position at the school within 24 hours of expressing her support for marriage equality, raising some questions about whether she was pushed out.
