Active noise control at the source69(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.386366View Description Hide Description
An active noise controlsystem was investigated to controlnoise at its source. Much of the previous work on active noiseattenuators employed cancellation of sound with sound. In the present work, the radiated acoustic energy was attenuated by counter exciting the radiating surfaces. Appropriate counter excitation was achieved by using an adaptive control mechanism consisting of a feedback control circuit, sensors and exciters. Separate control systems for attenuation of steady‐state and random noise sources are described. Active noise control was also applied to increase the transmission loss of panels, particularly at low frequencies which requires only a modest amount of counter‐excitation energy. Feasibility of these systems are described through theoretical development of the models and experimental results. [Work supported partially by Bendix Advanced Technology Center.
Industrial saw vibration damper, prototype69(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.386367View Description Hide Description
Early models of this saw damper, reported upon previously, gave 15 to 20 dBA of noise reduction when operating in any of several configurations on 10‐in. circular saws, cutting various materials. Modifications have been made to harden the design for use in an industrial application for cutting nonferrous metals. The new configuration places the damper inside a conventional saw guard and admits external adjustment of the damper position to accommodate a range of saw blade sizes (from 17 to 20 in. in diameter) and provides for automatic accommodation of various blade thicknesses up to approximately At this writing. the new prototype is nearing completion. The design considerations will be discussed and it is anticipated that performance data will be available to present regarding noise reduction and endurance to sustained operation in an abrasive environment.
Temperature considerations in electric motor noise reduction69(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.386368View Description Hide Description
Induction motors represent a major noise problem in the petrochemical industry. Retrofit noise reduction frequently requires the use of inlet and outlet mufflers. Be they commercially available units or custom designs, the most severe constraint is often the maximum pressure loss the motor can support without serious reduction of operating lifetime due to excess temperature. Typically, a 10°C increase will reduce the lifetime by half, due to degradation of electrical insulation. One cannot base the true cost of a noise reduction treatment on its capital cost alone if it may reduce the operating life of the machine. This paper presents a technique to simulate the effect of a muffler in order to determine the motor flow characteristics, and at the same time, determine the motor internal temperature versus flow characteristic by electrical resistancemeasurements. Actual mufflers whose designs were based upon such measurements will be described. The influence of mufflers on the explosion‐proof rating of motors will also be discussed.
Paper noise in an impact printer69(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.386369View Description Hide Description
In many paper handling machines, the sound generated by impacts is a major noise source. It is shown that in typical impact line printers both nonresonant and resonant sound generating mechanisms are significant. Both can probably be controlled by increasing the backing bar stiffness of the printer while keeping the printing force constant. It is also shown that the paper‐hammer‐backing bar impact is responsible for paper impact noise below 1250 Hz. Above 2500 Hz the hammer‐paper impact is the dominant source. From 1250–2500 Hz the two impacts contribute equally to the sound generation. Finally, consideration of the design of a "quiet" paper leads to the suggestion of a paper with high density and low bending rigidity. This might be accomplished through microcreping of the paper.
Vibratory and acoustic response of systems subject to impact loads69(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.386309View Description Hide Description
A general theoretical analysis of the vibratory energy acquired by systems following impact is developed. Acoustic and structural losses are studied to predict sound radiation from impacted structures. Acoustic energy radiated from impacted beams is considered to predict noisecharacteristics of high speed machine elements. The analytical results relate the time rate of change of the contact force history to the vibrational energy of the impacted structure and to the radiated acoustic energy. External energy losses are related to the radiation efficiencies in describing the acoustic energy. [Work supported by NSF and WSU.]
Acoustic radiation from a four‐bar mechanism due to impact in sleeve bearings69(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.386310View Description Hide Description
This study investigates the acoustic radiation from a four‐bar mechanism with flexible links due to impact in sleeve bearings. Impact occurs in sleeve bearings due to clearances and sudden changes in the direction of forces induced by the unbalanced mechanism. A finite element method is used to determine the accelerations of the nodal points of the finite element mesh, vibratory characteristics of the links, and the resulting sound radiation. A four‐bar mechanism with simple beamlike links is designed for experimental analysis allowing for two‐dimensional analysis of the links. This finite element analysis can be used for more complex link configurations and will be the basis used to diagnose and determine wear in bearings. [Work supported by NSF.]
The role of acoustic tube resonances in the radiation of sound from circumferentially ribbed truck tires69(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.386311View Description Hide Description
While in contact with the pavement surface, the grooves of circumferentially ribbed tires form tubes open at both the leading and trailing edges of the tire contact patch. These tubes efficiently radiale sound at the fundamental resonant frequency, corresponding to an acoustic wavelength equal to one half of the tube length, and at the higher harmonic frequencies. This behavior was studied with acoustic intensity measurements made alongside a moving straight rib (HCR) truck tire using the technique described in a previous presentation [L. J. Oswald and P. R. Donavan, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. Suppl. 1, 67, S71 (1980)]. These data show a 3 to 7 dB reduction from 500 to 2500 Hz in the narrow‐band acoustic intensity spectrum when the resonant‐tube radiation is eliminated with open cell foam placed in the grooves. Further, consistent with the dipolelike radiation from the tube ends occurring at the odd‐numbered tube harmonics, distinct nulls in the acoustic intensity were measured alongside the center of the contact patch at these frequencies. The influence of resonant tube radiation is also discussed for commercial wavy rib truck and passenger car tires.
Wind farm noise69(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.386312View Description Hide Description
Arrays of small wind turbines, recently coined as "wind farms", offer several advantages over single, larger wind turbines producing the same electrical power. Noise source characteristics of wind farms are also different from those associated with a single wind turbine. One‐third octave band noise measurements from 2 Hz to 10 kHz have been made and will be compared to measurements of noise produced by a single, large wind turbine. [J. R. Balombin, Technical Memorandum 81486.]
Nonlinear image processing for precise localization of noise sources69(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.386313View Description Hide Description
The localization or imaging of abnormal parts of machine systems from the noises detected by microphone array is desired in many fields of nondestructive diagnoses [T. Sato, K. Uemura, and K. Sasaki, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 67, 1802–1808 (1980)]. The random nature of the machine noises and the short length of the available data restricted from the dynamic detection of the machine's state, however, results in fairly significant specklelike noises in the reconstructed images. In this paper, a few nonlinear processings of the obtained images are considered aiming at precise localization of objects even from these noisy images. First, a binary mask is produced from the observed image itself by comparing the intensity at each part with a certain level, then the correlation image between the mask and the original image is obtained [R. H. T. Bates, M. O. Milner, G. I. Lund, and A.D. Seagar, Opt. Commun. 26, 22–25 (1978)]. The resulting images give a fine distinction of even neighboring objects suppressing the specklenoises. The formulation of the method, numerical results, and some experimental results are given.
Measurement and analysis of rail car coupling noise69(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.386314View Description Hide Description
The coupling of rail cars during routine railroad yard classification operations is often a major source of noiseimpact in neighboring communities. To better understand the factors which influence community noise levels, measurements were obtained during a series of 34 controlled car‐coupling tests. Each test consisted of a single test car coupling with a string of one or more buffer cars of various types and weights; the rail car speed at impact ranged from 2 to 8 mph. The tests showed that the maximum A‐weighted noise level (either fast or slow) of each car‐coupling event varied with 30 times the logarithm of the coupling speed. At a given speed, however, the maximum variation due to other factors (car type, weight, configuration) was fairly small (5 to 7 dB). [Work supported by EPA.]
Variation in community reaction to train noise and vibration69(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.386315View Description Hide Description
Residents' response to train noise and vibration is analyzed for two communities similarly exposed to train traffic but widely different in character. One community has newer, larger, detached homes, while the other is an older community of smaller homes. A hypothesis was tested that statistically reactions of people from two areas would be significantly different. An application of the multi‐discriminant analysis technique confirms the hypothesis. As an independent test, the reactions of respondents in a third community of new semi‐detached homes also exposed to the same train traffic was analyzed. Sixty‐six percent of responses fell in the same category as the responses from the first community, suggesting habituation and socio‐economic parameters are vital in developing land‐use policy for new residential communities. This work forms the continuation of Train Noise Program of Ontario Ministry of the Environment under which railway yard noise has been previously investigated.
Community response to railway yard noise69(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.386252View Description Hide Description
Community reaction to railway yard noise is analyzed for over 500 residents living adjacent to five rail yards in Ontario. Regression models are investigated for annoyance and sleep disturbance of the exposed population as a function of the measurednoise levels due to the individual sources as well as the composite of all operations in the yard. Percent of respondents highly annoyed shows a stronger correlation than does the percent annoyed at all with measured sound levels. Outdoor annoyance is correlated better than indoor annoyance with measured sound levels. L ps is judged to be a more accurate descriptor of community annoyance as compared to 24‐h L eq, for yard noises.
Environmental noise impacts from coal handling at electric power plants69(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.386253View Description Hide Description
Since adoption of the Power Plant and Industrial Fuel Use Act of 1978, there has been increased interest in the use of coal as a boiler fuel both at proposed electric power plants and as an alternative fuel al existing oil‐fired plants. Although coal has been used as boiler fuel, there is very little information available concerning noise emissions from coal handling. Therefore, a study was undertaken to provide an assessment of environmental noiseimpact for two types of coal delivery systems—railroad and barge. Noise estimates were developed using data obtained at other coal facilities for the following descriptors: Long‐term equivalent sound level, I‐h equivalent sound level, and maximum sound level, The noise estimates have been used in the preparation of environmental impact statements for the two urban sites studied. Noise from coal handling at these facilities are not expected to cause adverse environmental impacts after modest noise abatement treatments are installed and if coal is unloaded during the daytime. The study also demonstrated that coal handling noise emissions are site specific, but with the information developed, estimates of the noiseimpacts at other sites can be easily developed.

Absorption of ultrasound in tissues69(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.386254View Description Hide Description
The primary absorption of ultrasound in most soft tissues occurs at the macromolecular level. The attenuation observed when a tissue sample is interposed between a source and receiver may be affected by reflection, refraction, and phase distortion in the wave transmitted through the sample. However, when these effects are minimized, the differences between absorption and attenuation coefficients are small. Most soft tissues are characterized by small negative temperature coefficients up to physiological temperatures. At high intensities, nonlinear phenomena become important and can create losses in tissues which are mechanistically distinct from small amplitude absorption processes.
Biomolecular absorption of ultrasound69(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.386255View Description Hide Description
Understanding of the mechanisms of the interaction of ultrasound and biomolecules is essential to a thorough understanding of the present biophysical and medical applications of ultrasound and to the systematic and efficient accomplishment of future advances. Experimental evidence indicates that the biomolecules present in tissues play an important role in the ultrasonic propagaTion properties of tissues. Classical absorption mechanisms apparently play no significant role at the biomolecular level. Chemical and structural relaxation mechanisms have been proposed to explain the acoustic behavior observed, although generalized dispersion relationships have been reported to apply as well. Specific mechanisms of absorption for biomolecules in suspension at neutral pH have not been determined. Molecular size plays a role (in a "threshold" sense) in absorption but not in propagation speed. Molecular conformation appears to be important in some cases but not in others. Biomolecular‐solvent equilibria and biomolecule‐biomoleculeinteractions apparently are involved in the absorption processes.

Ultrasonic chemical relaxation mechanisms in protein solution69(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.386240View Description Hide Description
Reactions of the form (where −1H+ and −1 represent, respectively, the protonated and neutral forms of a given histidyl residue of a peptide or small protein) are more than usually amenable to study by acoustic techniques. The rate constants and average volume changes for this reaction have been deduced, for a few small proteins (bacitracin, myoglobin, ribonuclease, and hemoglobin), from the acoustic absorption as a function of frequency (0.24–150 MHz), pH, and concentration. The rate constants so deduced are used to estimate the spectrum of relaxation times and relaxation amplitudes associated with intermolecular and intramolecular proton exchange reactions in biological media. It is concluded that the acoustic absorption (between 1 and 10 MHz) reasonably attributable to perturbation of such equilibria is a significant fraction of the absorption observed in intact tissues. Ultrasonicabsorption due to perturbation of protein‐protein association equilibria is also discussed as is the possible role of "solvation" equilibria.
Ultrasonic absorption in deer blood69(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.386241View Description Hide Description
The erythrocyte sickling in white‐tailed deer is very similar to that in humans. Deer hemoglobin molecules polymerize at high pH and high oxygen tension. Ultrasonic absorption in deer blood versus pH and oxygen tension has been measured with Carstensen's fix path method and a method described in an earlier paper [K. K. Shung et al., Blood 54, 451–458 (1979)]. It has been found that the ultrasonic specific absorption at 15 MHz increases from 27 dB‐cc/ g‐cm to 66 dB‐cc/g‐cm when the pH of the blood is increased from 7 to 8 at an oxygen saturation of 95%. This result compares favorably with the data for humans which show that, under physiological conditions favoring sickling, the specific absorption at 15 MHz is around 60 dB‐cc/g‐cm. It was also found that ultrasonic absorption starts to increase at oxygen saturation around 50% at high pH and does not change appreciably at physiological pH.

Ultrasonic measurement of threshold temperature for irreversible cutaneous burns69(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.386242View Description Hide Description
Knowledge of the "in vivo" threshold temperature for thermally induced dermal necrosis is important to the understanding and assessment of the total burn injury. The recently developed ultrasonic pulse‐echo system for assessing thermal injury [R. E. Goans, J. H. Cantrell, Jr., and F. B. Myers, Med. Phys. 4, 259–263 (1977); J. H. Cantrell, Jr., R. E. Goans, and R. L. Roswell, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 64, 731–735 (1978)] was used to obtain quantitative "in vivo" measurements of the depth of cutaneous burns experimentally induced in anesthetized Yorkshire pigs. The burn depth as a function of burn time and surface temperature of the porcine skin was measured. The data were used in the solution of the one‐dimensional heat diffusion equation with appropriate boundary conditions to obtain the temperature at which irreversible thermal damage to the skin tissue occurs. Our calculated threshold temperature of 68° is within the range of values (60°C–72°C) previously reported using nonacoustic techniques. The implication of the present measurement to the quantitative assessment of the accumulated damage rate process is discussed.
Distortion of finite amplitude ultrasound in tissue69(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.386243View Description Hide Description
A form of Burgers' equation is used to derive an algorithm for calculation of harmonic content versus range for a plane sound wave of finite amplitude propagating in a lossy, dispersionless medium. Amniotic fluid, liver,cerebrospinal fluid, and blood plasma are investigated using common biomedical frequencies and intensities. It is shown that shock front formation is possible in tissue having a sufficiently low infinitesimal amplitude attenuation coefficient. A criterion is given to determine if shock front formation is possible in any tissue for a given initial sound frequency and intensity. The implications of this distortion include effects on imaging capabilities of diagnostic systems, measurement of attenuation coefficients of tissues, and biological effects mechanisms.
Nonlinear acoustics and biological media69(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.386244View Description Hide Description
The propagation of nonlinear ultrasonicwaves in aqueous solutions of biological macromolecules(tissuemodels) has been studied by making measurements of the fundamental at the sound source and the second harmonic as a function of distance from the source. These studies show that the nonlinearity parameter B/A for bovine serum albumin and hemoglobin solutions increases nearly linearly with concentration from 5.2 for water to 7.3 for a 40% solution, suggesting that the solution becomes more nonlinear as the spacing distance between molecules decreases. Solutions of dextran molecules also have been studied from the monomer to a molecular weight of 2 000 000 Daltons showing that the nonlinearity parameter, for fixed concentration, is relatively insensitive to molecular weight. Measurements have also been made in whole mammalian blood which exhibits a nonlinearity parameter in proportion to its dry weight which consists largely of protein. These findings suggest that details of nonlinear acoustic propagation in living systems may contribute to further improvement in clinical diagnostic procedures.

With the official start of hurricane season coming Friday, U.S. officials are reviewing their disaster plans -- especially since a tropical storm already swept ashore this week.
While Tropical Storm Beryl left little damage after making landfall around midnight Sunday at Jacksonville, Fla., it gave the city the chance to put its natural disaster plans to the test.
Mayor Alvin Brown says the city will assess the damage before deciding how much federal and state aid to seek.
Although the Atlantic's six-month storm season officially begins Friday, the season got an early start with Tropical Storm Alberto forming earlier in the month off the coast of South Carolina.
Then Beryl swept ashore. Backyard barbecues and graveside Memorial Day observances got a good soaking in southeastern Georgia and northern Florida.

These events signalled a watershed in POP management that inferred greater responsibility and stronger leadership. Waddington (1994), and Cronin and Reicher (2006; 2009) emphasised the high stake environment in which POP is policed and the multiple dynamics that senior officers have to manage. In addition to managing crowds, senior officers have to consider external culpability and alleviate concerns from junior officers. In sum, their research showed that communication with officers and other external parties could successfully negate a troublesome situation. The research presented in this paper investigates communicative instructions delivered by commanding officers at a small number of POP events. It identifies instances of how leadership is communicated and how accountable situations are managed. A micro-level discourse analysis was used to analyse the data. This approach evaluates discursive linguistic categories that interlocutors use 'to perform actions and functions, such as blame, accuse, defend, justify, rationalise and achieve argumentative ends' (Lyons et al, 2011:17). The findings suggest that some commanders use a range of linguistic resources when articulating leadership and managing accountable situations. The authors concede that the scope in this analysis is limited but are hopeful that research of this kind will act as a catalyst for further investigation. Description: The research uses of discourse analysis methodology to investigate how police command officers 1) Rationalise decision-making 2)Perform leadership. Data were collected from public order events. 2016-04-03T23:00:00Z Values, diversity and the justification of EU institutions Calder, Gideon http://dspace1.isd.glam.ac.uk:80/dspace/handle/10265/748 2014-05-12T08:43:15Z 2014-05-11T23:00:00Z Title: Values, diversity and the justification of EU institutions Authors: Calder, Gideon Abstract: Liberal theories of justice typically claim that political institutions should be justifiable to those who live under them – whatever their values. The more such values diverge, the greater the challenge of justifiability. Diversity of this kind becomes especially pronounced when the institutions in question are supranational. Focusing on the case of the European Union, this article aims to address a basic question: what kinds of values should inform the justification of political institutions facing a plurality of value systems? One route to an answer is provided by John Rawls, who famously distinguishes between comprehensive and political values, and defends the exclusion of the former from the foundations of a political theory of justice. This article questions the tenability of the Rawlsian solution, and draws attention to an alternative twofold conceptual distinction: that between minimal and non-minimal and between substantive and procedural values. Minimal values are meant to be as independent as possible of controversial conceptions of the good and views of the world, regardless of whether these are comprehensive or purely political. It will be argued that their endorsement may thus further specify the nature of what should be shared in order to justify political institutions in conditions of pluralism. In order to refine further the account of such a basis of justification, two variants of minimalism will be presented according to whether they invest substantive or procedural values. Substantive values qualify the property of an outcome; procedural values qualify the property of a procedure. The latter part of the article consists of a 'face-off' between minimal proceduralism and minimal substantivism, considering reasons in favour of the adoption of each. The result, we suggest, is a helpful reorientation of the political dimension of the value debates to which the multiplicity of values amid contemporary European horizons give rise. 2014-05-11T23:00:00Z Climate change and normativity: constructivism versus realism Calder, Gideon http://dspace1.isd.glam.ac.uk:80/dspace/handle/10265/744 2014-05-12T07:53:26Z 2014-05-11T23:00:00Z Title: Climate change and normativity: constructivism versus realism Authors: Calder, Gideon Abstract: Is liberalism adaptable enough to the ecological agenda to deal satisfactorily with the challenges of anthropogenic climate change while leaving its normative foundations intact? Compatibilists answer yes; incompatibilists say no. Comparing such answers, this article argues that it is not discrete liberal principles which impede adapatability, so much as the constructivist model (exemplified in Rawls) of what counts as a valid normative principle. Constructivism has both normative and ontological variants, each with a realist counterpart. I argue that normative constructivism in the Rawlsian mode, whatever its strengths elsewhere, is markedly ill-equipped to deal with the particular normative challenges posed by climate change – and that that these doubts holds regardless of which stance is adopted as its ontological corollary. 2014-05-11T23:00:00Z Ethics and social ontology Calder, Gideon http://dspace1.isd.glam.ac.uk:80/dspace/handle/10265/743 2014-05-12T07:41:51Z 2014-05-11T23:00:00Z Title: Ethics and social ontology Authors: Calder, Gideon Abstract: Normative theory, in various idioms, has grown wary of questions of ontology— social and otherwise. Thus modern debates in ethics have tended to take place at some distance from (for example) debates in social theory. One arguable casualty of this has been due consideration of relational factors (between agents and the social structures they inhabit) in the interrogation of ethical values. Part 1 of this paper addresses some examples of this tendency, and some of the philosophical assumptions which might underlie it. Parts 2 and 3 discuss two issues of growing prominence—disability, and environmental concern—due attention to which, I argue, highlights strong reasons why severing ethics from social ontology is neither possible nor desirable. I conclude by recommending a qualified ethical naturalism as a promising candidate through which, non-reductively, to reunite these two areas of theoretical focus. 2014-05-11T23:00:00Z

'What You See is What You Don't Get' may be a good description of the relative meter indications of the complex wave as viewed on either the PPM or VU meter. There are advantages to both displays. The obvious answer is a dual-function display. This paper describes an LED arrangement which indicates with both VU ballistics and peak indications on a single display.

Smell is the most neglected of our senses, yet it has the power to instantaneously penetrate our consciousness, evoking memories and emotion and able to attract or repel. In this sensory workshop we will examine the science, history, and art of perfumery. Perfume ingredients and formulation will be explored, and each participant will leave with two bottles of their own bespoke perfume made with natural ingredients. No prior knowledge of perfume making is required.

Congratulations Bail! You're doing well, young boy! I'm proud of you getting the Diary Pick of the Day. BREEEP BAIL!!
SHOE BOX AND A NEW TOYMay 21st 2006 7:35 am
[ Leave A Comment ]
Hi, Sampy here. In the computer room there are two shoe boxes Mommy was going to throw out, but forgot. Us cats were having fun in them last night. Merl hopped in and I chased him out by starting a little wrestling match with him. He got out and then I put my two front feet in the box and scooted the thing across the floor with my front feet still in it. I gave myself a ride! Weeeeeee! IT WAS SUCH FUN. Mommy didn't get this one on video either. It would have been good for "silly cat tricks". I did this Friday night too, but I forgot to mention it.

It's Friday again and it's cold out. Burrrrrr! It's going to be a three cat night tonight or just a two cat night - me and Merl. Bail is a loner when it comes to sleeping in bed with Mommy, Merl and I. I guess he's hot enough with that thick fur coat of his. He sleeps in his cat tree or in the spare bedroom on an old yellow blankie.
MY TWO BROTHERS ARE WILDCATS AND TGIF AGAIN!May 18th 2006 6:02 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]
Bail and Merl are two wildcats! They're chasing each other up and down the stairs tonight. I'm glad it's not me they're chasing. I just had an hour stroll around the back and front yard and when I came in I went straight to the computer room with Mommy. A sat on her lap and dictated this between purrrs and rubs. Now, I'm washing my face.
THANK YOU CATSTERMay 17th 2006 6:05 pm

Thank you again Catster for making me Diary Pick of the Day! I'm really thrilled and so is Mommy. Mommy found out the news this morning and it turned around her whole day. Mommy feels much better today and guess what? I'm not giving her all the purrs and kisses like yesterday. I'm on my pink blankie nodding off. Note: this was dictated before I ZZZZZ'd out.

1. Jed York, 49ers president. Let's go right to the top. It's not Mike Singletary's fault the 49ers hired an inexperienced, apparently one-dimensional head coach. It's not Singletary's fault expectations surged when York promised a playoff appearance last season. It's not Singletary's fault that York came out this week saying the 49ers would win the division despite their 0-5 start. It's not Alex Smith's fault the 49ers committed to an unproven quarterback when Donovan McNabb was available during the offseason. York is the one who enthusiastically hired Singletary, then watched as the organization moved forward without viable fallback options at head coach and quarterback. York appears to have the right intentions, but to say the organization has fallen short on the execution front would be an understatement.
2. Steve Spagnuolo, Rams coach. That failed onside kick to open the Detroit game put the spotlight on Spagnuolo following one of the more discouraging performances of this young NFC West season. The Rams had won two games in a row, beating the Washington Redskins and Seattle Seahawks with strong defensive efforts. They should have been competitive, at least, against a 0-4 Lions team. Losing 44-6 to one of the worst teams in the league will drag down the stock of any head coach.
3. Sam Bradford, Rams QB. Losing top receiver Mark Clayton for the season accounts for Bradford's inclusion on this list. Bradford has played more like a veteran than a rookie for significant stretches this season. That was not the case Sunday and Clayton's early departure from the game obviously hurt. On a side note, I could have named in this spot any number of 49ers players, from Smith to the uncharacteristically fumble-prone Frank Gore, but York served as 49ers catch-all this week. As for Bradford? His long-term stock forecast remains decidedly positive. It's the short-term outlook that took a hit when Clayton's patella tendon gave out.
1. John Schneider, Seahawks GM. The Seahawks didn't even play in Week 5, but they scored a significant victory by landing a 2011 fourth-round draft choice from New England in the Deion Branch trade. The Patriots hold two fourth-rounders, their own and one from Denver. Seattle gets the highest of those two choices. I wondered whether Seattle could get even a fifth-round choice for the 31-year-old Branch. Getting the better of two fourths allowed Seattle to recoup most of the value lost when Seattle sent its own fourth-rounder to Buffalo for Marshawn Lynch.
2. Kerry Rhodes, Cardinals S. Two fumble recoveries for touchdowns in a two-week period will get any safety noticed. Rhodes made other significant plays during the Arizona Cardinals' 30-20 victory over New Orleans. The Arizona defense played its best game of the season and Rhodes played a key role.
3. Michael Crabtree, 49ers WR. Nine catches for 105 yards against Philadelphia showed the 49ers are more committed to getting the ball in Crabtree's hands. Crabtree has 14 receptions for 163 yards in the two games since Mike Johnson replaced Jimmy Raye as offensive coordinator. He had six catches for 81 yards in the 49ers' previous three games.

When President George W. Bush announced his $2.23 trillion budget for fiscal year 2004, Budget Director Mitchell E. Daniels Jr. remarked that "this is a president of big projects and big ideas." True enough: the Bush budget runs the largest single-year deficit ever recorded, in excess of $300 billion. That is one reason the president told the nation's governors in late February, many of whom are swimming in a sea of red, that he could not help them with more funds for education, Medicaid, or homeland security. As part of his "supply-side" therapy for the ailing economy, a year ago the president cut corporate taxes and is now recommending further relief for upscale taxpayers. According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a Washington oversight group, in the next ten years Bush's budget stewardship will lead to a shortfall of $2.5 trillion. Only two years ago, the projection for the same period was a $5.6 trillion surplus. As Senator Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) put it, that's a $7-trillion turnaround-and that doesn't factor in the costs of a war with Iraq or its possible aftermath.
When Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan was asked by a Senate committee to assess the Bush deficits, he responded by calling them "sobering." Why? Such shortfalls will eventually drive up interest rates, balloon deficits, spark inflation, and shrink economic growth. The best Greenspan could do was to nod that he didn't see any...

Car Free and Other Updates
So..we're a car free household. Have been for a few weeks now and will continue to be until the next chapter in our lives comes into play. It's a strange world when you don't have a car. There is this mentality of sticking it to the man when you decide to ditch the car and all the fees that come along with it. You suddenly feel more in control of what you do,where you go,and the game you play of cramming in as much as you can into the saddle bags and crate.
That's my bike. The saddle bags you see in the back have been upgraded to 60 liter saddle bags and let me tell you..I can pretty much fit all my groceries in there plus a small child. This is how you function Dutch style. Back home I wouldn't dare go without a car. It's to dangerous and everything is so spaced out anyway that not having a car would be insane. Plus,bikes and American drivers just do not mix. Over here, I am Queen of the road.
Most Dutch neighborhoods are equipped with various grocery stores,pharmacy,doctors office,mailing office,butcher shop,hair salon,clothing store, and anything else they can cram into the shopping section. I can be at my doctor's office and grocery store within a 5 minute bike ride. I can head to the city center and train station within that amount of time as well..it always takes longer by car when you sit and wait for the lights and then fight like mad dogs to claim a parking spot. I can now zoom in and out without any issue. This country is made for bikers. The rules regarding biking here are incredible and I honestly feel safer on a bike than in a car. The biking routes and paths are vast,beautiful and quick. So all in all..it's been fun. I will probably change my tune when winter hits again and we then need to deal with the rain,sleet,ice roads and snow. I will plan accordingly and I can always have my groceries delivered if need be.
Plus..I don't get care what the weather is anyway. The money we save from not having one that then goes into savings makes me so happy I could weep. Times are changing and plans have been set in motion. My time is coming to an end here.
I have so much I want to say. So.Much. But I can't. There will be a time when I can write and speak about things that I love,things I am working on,and my hopes for my future with my husband and two teenage sons..which by the way, one is about to turn 18!!
I would love to tell you that I have been outside enjoying the summer like weather but I keep waiting for it to actually arrive....

DIY Flavored Coffee
I've talked about this many times but one of the habits I have picked up since moving here in 2007 is coffee. I never drank it before then. I think I tried it a few times but hated it. I hated the taste,hated the smell,hated everything about it.
I never understood anyone's love for Starbucks..AND I will stand by that statement. I do not get anyone's love for that overpriced sickeningly sweet processed drink.
I do understand the love for coffee now though. I love it. I love the smell of it. I love the act of making it. I love the smile I get when I take my first sip. I get it. I really really do. I also get the need to have some kind of flavor..not a sickeningly sweet flavor but even then..I might not like it but more power to you if it brings you some joy to swing by somewhere and pick one up. What I am after is a hint of a flavor that doesn't require anything more than what you have in your cupboard.
You can make the coffee with any spice you like. I have tried cinnamon and apple pie and pumpkin pie spice. All have worked. All you do is sprinkle the spice on top of your coffee grounds and the flavor will drip down into the coffee pot as it brews. That's it. How much you use will depend on your taste buds. My husband isn't a fan of anything other than straight black coffee so when I make it for myself I only brew enough for two cups at a time. I maybe and it's a big maybe add in 1/8 of a teaspoon..like I said it's just a sprinkle. You don't want to ruin the whole experience so start out small and see how you like it.
Flavored coffee without all of the additives. It's a good a thing.

Pumpkin Maple Cinnamon Rolls
This year I embraced all things Fall. I headed into the stores with a gusto. I bought up every variety of squash I could get my hands on. I picked up bags of brussel sprouts and stopped for a moment to see if the world did in fact stop spinning. I hated brussel sprouts as a kid. They were bitter and horrible and gag worthy. However, I decided to pull my big girl panties up and give them another go after seeing the roasted brussel sprouts posts all over my news feed on Facebook. I paid attention and gave in. I am so glad I did because I absolutely love them. I'd say over the course of the last few months I have eaten them 1-2 times a week.
My freezer is full of pureed squashes which makes me happy since I have plenty of time to play around with new bread recipes...like this one! My favorite cinnamon roll recipe at the moment. Their soft and huge and fluffy and HUGE. These suckers grow like crazy in the oven so be prepared!
Pumpkin Maple Cinnamon Rolls
1/2 cup Warm Milk
2-1/2 tsp. Active Dry Yeast
1 cup Pumpkin Puree..or Squash of choice
4-3/4 cups All-purpose Flour..plus more as needed
1/3 cup (75 grams) Unsalted Butter,softened
1/4 cup Light Brown Sugar
1/4 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1-3/4 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 cup (113 grams) Unsalted Butter,softened
1 cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
1-1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
Maple Glaze:
1-1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
2 TBS Milk
1 tsp. Maple Extract
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook,add the warm milk and yeast. Add in remaining ingredients and mix on speed 2, for 8-9 mins or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic..Don't panic if you need more flour..puree from different squashes can have a larger water content so it's not abnormal if you need to add more..I did! Place your dough ball into a greased bowl,turning once to coat. Cover and allow to rise in a warm spot until doubled in sie, about 1 hour or so.
In a small bowl,combine the brown sugar filling with the cinnamon.
Sprinkle your counter top with flour. Deflate the dough and knead it a few times in the bowl before turning it out onto the floured surface. Roll the dough out into a 15x9 inch rectangle. Spread the butter evenly across the dough and then sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture all over the butter. Starting with the long end begin rolling up the dough tightly and then pinch the dough across to seal the seam. Roll it over so that the seam is facing down.
Spray two 9 inch cake pans and set aside. Using either a knife or better yet..fishing wire! slice into 12 rolls. Place cut side down into prepared pans. Cover and allow to rise until puffy, 30mins to 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375/90. Uncover the rolls and bake 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack.
In a bowl,combine the glaze ingredients and drizzle onto cooled rolls. Devour. Right away.
Yield: 12 Cinnamon Rolls

Take A Peek Wednesday: The Arrival of Fall
Fall has been kind to us so far and you will hear no complaints from me. I've lived here 8 years now and it's the first time I've been able to keep heat off and have the windows wide open. It's changing though and the cold is on its way.
I am busy in the kitchen this week preparing for our Thanksgiving. We are having it this weekend since that fits our schedule the best. There will be turkey and stuffing and gravy and pie and rolls and everything else you would expect to see on the table during this time. I am missing home and my family terribly. It's just not the same over here.
Still. I am grateful for what I do have and never lose sight of that. Winter is on the way and that brings many exciting things along with it. I look forward to sharing it with you!

Take A Peek Wednesday: Shaping and Bun Baking Class
A few weeks ago I attended my third bread baking class! This time we decided to tackle shapes and various bun and roll techniques.
As always,there was a ton of laughter,learning,and of course..eating. I've learned a ton when it comes to kneading and shaping and can't wait to see what we tackle in 2016!

Orange Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies
I can not believe it's November 2nd! This is the last month I can officially say that I am 40..Dec 1st and I will be the big 4-1. So many mixed emotions come to mind as I think about being one year older. I am not settled..that much I know. I wake up in the middle of the night now and can't fall back asleep. My brain refuses to shut off with its alarm bells and I've had far to many foggy mornings with bags under my eyes and clutching my coffee like my life depends on it. Gotta love the 40's.
Waking up early anyway because of my husbands work schedule leaves me loads of time to play in the kitchen. It's my favorite place to be during these darker days of fall and winter. I've got Thanksgiving on my mind and of course,Christmas..because if I am honest, I think about that most of all. I think about my cookie platter and which new cookie will be added. I can tell you right now..it's this one! I am such a fan of the orange chocolate combination and this hits all the right spots. The orange flavor is spot on and upfront with its orang-ie self..ok I know that's not a word but we'll ignore that. The chocolate is delicious, the oats are perfect. It's an all around perfect cookie in my opinion. I took it along with me when I had my recent bread class and came home with an empty bag.
I love cookies.
Orange Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies
1 cup Unsalted Butter,softened
1 cup Light Brown Sugar
1/4 cup Sugar
2 Large Eggs
2 tsp. Vanilla
2 tsp. Orange Extract
Zest of 2 Large Oranges
1-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 tsp. Salt
3 cups Old-fashioned Oats
150 grams Orange Dark Chocolate,roughly chopped..Splurge on the best bar you can afford..it makes all the difference!
1/2 cup Toasted Walnuts,coarsely chopped,optional
Preheat oven to 350/180. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl,or in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment,cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one a time,beating well after each addition. Add extracts and orange zest and mix until combined.
In another bowl,combine flour,baking soda,salt and oats; slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet and mix until well combined. Add the chocolate and walnuts (if using) and mix until combined.
Drop tablespoons worth of dough 2 inches apart onto prepared pan.
Bale 10-12 minutes,until lightly browned around the edges. The cookies are going to look slightly undone and that is ok because it's going to result in a deliciously chewy cookie. Cool on pan 3-5 minutes before removing to wire rack.
Yield: 30 Cookies

Take A Peek Wednesday: Muiderslot
Last week during fall vacation we got up at 5:15 am and a boarded a train to Amsterdam,then a tram and then a boat so we could visit,Muiderslot. A beautiful castle just outside of Amsterdam.
It was overcast out and there was a slight drizzle on and off the entire day which only added to the experience in my opinion..Who wants to visit a sunny castle?
After walking around the inside and exploring all the rooms we headed out to visit the castle gardens.
The herb garden..
The veggie garden..
And a pic of the boat we took to reach the castle..
I can sometimes forget how much fun it can be to play tourist..All in all it was a wonderful day. I can tell you without a doubt, I am not a train traveler. It's just not me. There are people who love zooming all over the place but I am not one of them. Still..it's worth it when you get to see beautiful things like this.
What have you been up to lately?

No-knead Cheddar and Chive Rolls
Here is a super easy recipe that requires zero kneading! You can add in whatever type of cheese you want,leave out the dried chives if you don't want them..maybe you want crumbled up cooked bacon with mozzarella? Actually that sounds really good and I think I will be making that version next time with pizza seasonings tossed into the mix.
The rolls freeze well so bake up a batch of these babies and be a hero at dinner time!
No-knead Cheddar and Chive Rolls
4-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
1 TBS Sugar
1 TBS Salt..or less if you want
2 TBS Dried Chives;optional
2-1/4 tsp. Active Dry Yeast
2 cups Milk..low fat,full fat..you make the call
1 TBS Butter
2 cups (8 ounces) Shredded Cheddar Cheese
In a large bowl,combine 2 cups of flour,sugar,salt,chives,and yeast. In a saucepan,heat milk and butter to 115-120F. Pour over dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until smooth. Stir in cheese and enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 mins-1 hour. Dough will soft and that is ok!
Grease either 2 or 3 9 inch round cake pans with non stick spray and set aside. Gently deflate the dough and divide into 2 or 3 portions and shape each portion into 12 balls. Place into prepared pans. Cover with a tea towel and allow to rise until nearly doubled,about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350/180. Brush the tops with milk or an egg wash if you prefer and bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack.
** I only have two,9 inch round cake pans so I divided the dough to fit into those. You can make smaller rolls and pop them into 3 if you prefer. It's up to you**
Yield: 26-36 rolls

Orange Walnut Snowballs
Our alarm clock goes off at 4:15 am.. 5 days a week. I head downstairs with my husband and get the coffee on and work on breakfast and packing his lunch. He's out the door by 6:20 and I won't see him again until 7:30 at night..and that's only if there are no problems with the trains..and there are always problems. Now that we're pushing 41 we are slightly more tired these days and often times our smiles don't quite reach our eyes and the need to give each other that hug or encouraging word is very real. We're living in stressful times and the weight on the shoulders can be extremely heavy at times and the desire to carry more so the other can have a break is constant.
When I see that a boost is needed..either by my side or his, I usually head into the kitchen. There is something honestly comforting to me about being in there and knowing that with just a few ingredients I hand over a plate of sunshine when my husband or two sons walk through the door. I can extend a plate over the fence to my neighbor and pass along the smile and encouragement I think we all need from time to time.
So go make someones day with cookies. Make your own day with cookies. Curl up with a good book or watch your favorite movie that you know by heart or if you are anything like me, you are smiling to yourself as you mentally prepare for the holidays that are arriving quicker than your realize!
Orange Walnut Snowballs
1 cup Butter,softened
3/4 cup Powdered Sugar
Zest of one Orange..Any size will do
1/2 tsp. Orange Extract
1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
2 cups All-purpose Flour
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 cup Finely chopped Walnuts
Additional powdered sugar for coating
Preheat oven to 350/180. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment..or in a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the orange zest and extracts. Combine the flour and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in nuts.
Shape into 3/4 inch balls and place onto prepared cookie sheet 1 inch apart.
Bake 7-12 minutes or until bottom of cookies are lightly browned ( in my oven that took 7 minutes but it can take up to 12 but start checking right before the 10 minute mark). Remove cookies to wire rack and allow to cool completely.
Pour additional powdered sugar into a bowl and place each cookie into bowl,turning over and over until completely coated.
Store in airtight container
Yield: 36 cookies

Chocolate Orange Challah
Do you have a bucket list? I've got one. It's filled with breads I want to bake before my hands give out and I can't knead or braid or twist or fold again without being in pain. I'm probably strange for having a bread bucket list but I'm feeling pretty ok about it these days.
A few days ago I tackled Challah. I actually had nightmares about this braid. I thought about it for days and days before I started. I watched THIS video on how to do the braid correctly and turned the volume down since I learn better with just the visual and replayed it over and over. I was pumped and ready to go. I doubted myself during the entire process and vowed to never do it again..because there was no way it was going to work.
But oh did it! If I had been by myself I can assure you I would have shed a tear or two because it blew me away. The author describes the bread as a twist on challah and babka and I would say that is indeed the case. It's one heck of a beautiful loaf of bread. The flavor is incredible and if you are a fan of all things,orange and chocolate then you must give this bread a try.
I decided to not post the recipe for this but instead encourage you to head over to Yin and Yolk and get it straight from the source. The tips and directions are spot on and honestly better than anything I could do here myself. I am not set up to take photos as I am doing something and she provides plenty of visuals as well as directions. It seems like there are a lot of steps, but honestly it's mostly waiting for the dough to rise in between each step. You can do this.
The only change I made was to use milk chocolate simply because that's what I have in my cupboard. My kitchen is cooler these days so my dough needed slightly more time to warm up when I took it out of the fridge. I was blessed with a beautiful sunny window which allowed my bread to rise comfortably for a few hours and was rewarded with a huge loaf of bread that left my family oohing and aahing and with me beaming from ear to ear.
I will be baking this again. Head over to Yin and Yolk for the recipe and click HERE for the video on how to form this beautiful shape!

Sweet Potato Focaccia
Time is flying by! I can not believe we are almost towards the end of September! I am getting the non stop warnings on my Facebook about how many days are left until Christmas..94 in case you are wondering. I already feel behind!!! I had hopes of posting more on a regular basis but it's just not happening yet and I need to get back into the swing of things a bit more. I blame it on almost being 41 and going through some weird sort of brain fog.
So lets talk sweet potatoes. I love them. They are easier to find over here and I replace all my pumpkin recipes with sweet potatoes. The problem I have though is that I associate all sweet potatoes as being in the sweet category. I blame it on the fact that I bake muffins and cookies and bundt cakes and pies with them. So when I come across a bread recipe that uses them in a more savory fashion..well..my brain doesn't translate the message very well and I end up sitting there wishing I had made it more sweet.
So that's the problem I had with this recipe. I kept wanting to taste to cinnamon in there somewhere. Needless to say, I will be baking these again and turning them more into a sweet potato focaccia with a cinnamon sugar topping.
I needed way more flour than the recipe stated so no worries if you need a cup or 3 to bring it all together. Cut these into whatever shape you want and in whatever size you like. You could split though in half and make to large focaccia's if you like.
Sweet Potato Focaccia
4-4-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
2-1/4 tsp. Active Dry Yeast
1-1/4 cups Warm Water ( 110-115 degrees)
1-1/4 tsp. Salt
3 TBS Olive Oil
1-1/3 cups Cooked Mashed Sweet Potatoes
2 TBS Olive Oil
1 tsp. Rosemary,chopped
3/4-1 tsp. Coarse Sea Salt
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook,add in your flour. Make a well in the center and sprinkle in the yeast. Pour the water on top and allow it to sit for about 5 mins or so. Add in your remaining ingredients and knead the dough on speed 2 for 10 minutes, adding in additional flour, one tablespoon at a time until a smooth and satiny dough is achieved. Place the dough ball into a greased bowl,turning once to coat. Cover and allow to rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Line 1-2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Turn your dough out onto a floured surface and gently press the dough out into a little over an inch thick with your hands. Cut the dough into 12 or more 3x3 inch squares or in into whatever shape you like. Place onto prepared pan,cover and allow to rise until doubled in size..30 mins to 1 hour..depends on the warmth of your kitchen.
Preheat oven to 375 or 190. Gently poke holes into the tops of the dough with a wooden handle. In a small bowl,combine the olive oil and rosemary. Brush the mixture onto the tops of the mini focaccia breads and then sprinkle the sea salt on top evenly.
Bake in the oven for 18-20 mins or until lightly browned. Cool slightly on wire racks. Eat.
Yield: 12 or more depending on the size you cut them

To the Editor.—Although recurrent choledocholithiasis usually results from calculi not recognized, or calculi recognized but not removed during prior biliary tract surgery, common bile duct stones may also form around various kinds of ligature material used during earlier biliary operations.
Report of a Case.—Approximately one year after a common bile duct exploration, a 72-year-old man returned with a right-upper-quadrant pain similar to his previous distress. An endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram revealed a recurrent common bile duct stone that had formed around a hemostatic clip used during the first operation.1 Presumably, the clip became dislodged when the T tube was removed and then migrated down the tract, into the duct, to act as a nidus for stone formation. Since endoscopic removal was not available, the patient underwent uncomplicated surgical removal of the stone.
