Instant Ice - How to Waterbend In Real Life. Magic wine bottle holder. Addies Zoo. Stuffed Animal Storage Zoo Shawn did such an amazing job making this for Addie Basic Building instructions-For the main support my husband used 4- 1"x2" boards appx 6' high (we found it was surprisingly cheaper to buy the ones that where already primed white), he then took more of the same 1"x2" boards and cut them down to a 24" length for the frame- he built 3 square frames one for the top middle and base (so he used 12- 24" pieces) then attaching the 4- 6' pieces to the 3 square frames.

For the back of the unit we attached a large sheet of Masonite that was already primed white cutting it to the appropriate size. For the bars we ordered a 100' roll of black bungee and cut them down to size, screwing them onto the frame (top, middle and bottom). Below is a side view of the Zoo and a closeup of where the bungees are attached. Wilderness Survival Uses for a Condom. They are a stop gap measure for when you can't boil your water or run it through a filter. Its not something you generally do all the time unless you want to save time.

Generally long term you would have a fixed camp with a method for boiling water so you don't need the tablets. That makes sense, thank you for the clarification! Whenever I hear "wilderness survival" I think of long term survival. Never quiet understood why most kits would never have an ax or a pan, for example. I have always drank whatever was around on any expedition I go on, from cave water to river/creek water, pretty much as long as it isn't a puddle or still water I will drink it. They generally mean immediate survival e.g. lost with nothing but what is on my person. In the case of having a whole bag that is a whole different kettle of fish since if you have that much room for gear its not really a "survival" situation in the same way. Converter for humidity of air. This is a converter for units of the humidity of air. The equations used may be found on a data sheet (.pdf, 2 pages, 50.5 KiB). Type the value you want to convert into the field, behind which you find the unit.

Click on any empty space in the window or the "calculate" button. Read the result in the other fields. Use the "reset" button to reset your calculation. For this calculation the temperature in degree Celsius and the pressure in hPa are needed. Without a new entry standard values are used. Examples: What is the dew point temperature when the relative humidity is 50 % ? How high is the relative humidity when the air from the example above is cooled down to 15°C ? Limitations: Supersaturation cannot be calculated with this converter.

Hints: You may calculate the vapor pressure of water at different temperatures by calculating the partial pressure at 100 % relative humidity.

Watch and Learn: There's More Than One Way to Additively Manufacture a Metal. Posted by Ray | 22 Aug 2012 | Comments (5) Earlier this week, when I posted a video about 3D-printed bike parts, I was simply too excited about the prospect of digitally fabricating dropouts to concern myself with the technology behind the collaboration between Charge Bikes and EADS. Commenter Modul called me out on my lack of due diligence, piquing my interest in a process known as DMLS, short for Direct Metal Laser Sintering.

Had I done my research, I might have dug up commenter Lori Hobson's mention of "DMLS, a process for METAL, even titanium!!! "... in response to a 2008 (!) Post on rapid prototyping. (Just a friendly reminder that we welcome and value constructive comments from our readers!) It turns out that Hobson, at the time, was at product development consultancy MindTribe, and she'd recently learned about the process herself. Which brings us to 3T RPD, who provided the images in Hobson's post (reproduced here). Via Shapeways via Ponoko. The TOOOL Emergency Lock-Pick Card Fits in Your Wallet, Gets You Back Inside When You're In a Bind.

First, lockpicks are a kinda weirdly grey area legally, depending on intent, location, licensing, etc. I really recommend doing your research first, which will be made easier by the fact that most of the picking community is pretty welcoming and helpful. Schuyler Towne of Open Locksport is a great resource and has a formspring account if you want to sling questions his way, though I'm not sure he knows every states lockpicking laws offhand.

BUT! Don't worry, because having things which aren't lockpicks can be just as helpful. Admittedly if you then use them with intent to commit a crime they legally become lockpicks, but you can't imply the intent based on them alone. I once locked myself out of my apartment in a bathrobe. You can improvise all manner of picks and tools. If you are really in a bind, you'd be amazed the things you can find that will open a lock for you. overall, I think I like the hairpin most. 35 MacGyver Tips, Clever Uses, and Other Life Hacks in One Infographic. How to Quickly Figure Out the Day of the Week Any Date Falls On. Here's how I figure out which date is a specific number of days away from another. If the two dates fall within the same month, it's just simple math, but if the two dates are in different months, it's not as straightforward.

The basic trick is to convert the later date into a number that makes it easy to do math with the earlier month's date. Example 1: 10 days after July 25 There are 31 days in July, so 35 - 31 = 4 (August 4) Example 2: 16 days before May 5 There are 30 days in April, so 30 + 5 = 35 35 - 16 = 19 (April 19) This can also be done with ranges spanning multiple months by adding the numbers of any months that end in the middle of the range. Example 3: 100 days after September 12 There are 30 days in September; 31 in October; & 30 in November, so 112 - 30 - 31 - 30 = 21 (December 21) If you need a trick to remember how many days are in a given month, you can use your knuckles.
