Beware the Cloud Poser: 5 Ways to Tell a Cloud Poser from a Cloud Pro
Whom would you trust more to fix your car – a licensed mechanic or a guy who once saw someone do an oil change? The choice should be simple.

Reflections on Tragedy, Mourning and The Rising
Craig Werner | Posted 07.23.2012 | College
What did a chronological assessment of Bruce Springsteen's albums have to do with making me a "good person?" I found the answer in The Rising. It's the understanding, solidarity and empathy that music can provide following tragedy.
Tragedy is the one event throughout history that has never failed to bring people together, no matter race, religion or beliefs. The Rising plays off of this idea.

Working with Alfie Boe on the West End, and having Eddie Redmayne come to watch you perform - the 25-year-old star of stage and screen shares his remarkable journey, talking fame, musicals and opera.
Irish actor Fra Fee plays the revolutionary Courfeyrac in the film version of Les Misérables - and he's one of the few actors to make it from the stage show into the movie. In a charming interview with Jamie Crick, Fra explained the differences between acting 'Les Mis' on stage, and filming the raw emotion live on camera for the big screen.
Even after rubbing shoulders with A-list celebrities like Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway, and boasting an impressive West End pedigree, Fra's feet are firmly on the ground when it comes to his newfound film star fame: "It felt like such a small, self-contained thing - it's essentially a very small, British movie! It's weird to think that it's now out there and it's gone global."
Elgar's classic has remained the most popular funeral piece for the past decade, according to a survey.

Mephisto Men's Baduard Dark Brown Nubuck/Black Leather - The Mephisto Men's Black Nubuck Baduard is hard to describe, for its style is unique. It looks like a traditional moccasin mixed with a casual boat loafer. This shoe is constructed from soft black nubuck leather, the shoe's upper features distinctive white stitching that wind its way around a square moccasin toe. The shoe welcomes the tired and aching foot with calfskin linings and a roomy interior. The foot rests on top of a midsole made from latex and injected with air for improved cushioning. Dubbed Soft-Air technology, this system of injecting air into the midsole is popular among many styles of Mephisto shoes. The technology provides pressure point relief so that the body's joints remain protected through long hours out and about. A rubber outsole assists the latex insole in this important job. The durable outsole also features traction pattern for protection against potential slips.

David Ignatius
David Ignatius: What will be different in Iraq War III?
WASHINGTON — As the United States advances into its third war in Iraq in a quarter-century, it's important to have a mental checklist to assess whether U.S. strategy there can succeed. Right now, because of Iraq's continuing corruption and sectarianism, it's hard to be optimistic.
David Ignatius: Foriegn policy should top Obama's fourth-quarter agenda
WASHINGTON — President Obama looked almost relieved after Tuesday's election blowout. A man who has been perhaps the least political president in modern American history doesn't have to worry about elections anymore.
David Ignatius: The advantage of America's reluctant warrior
WASHINGTON — President Obama certainly didn't go looking for another war in the Middle East. Indeed, he contorted himself almost to the breaking point to avoid one. But as he explained to the country Wednesday night, he had no choice but to respond with "strength and resolve" to the barbarou…
David Ignatius: Obama stepping warily onto the battlefield
WASHINGTON — For President Obama, this is gut-check time on Iraq. He is moving the nation back onto a pitiless battlefield, with a war plan that is long on good intentions and short on clarity about the ultimate mission.
David Ignatius: Mulling a Ukraine policy in Colorado conference
ASPEN, Colo. — At the public kickoff of a discussion here about U.S. policy toward Russia and Ukraine, former Defense Secretary Robert Gates joked that his favorite definition of diplomacy was "petting a dog and saying 'nice doggie' until you can find a rock."
David Ignatius: Time for Netanyahu to make peace
WASHINGTON — Now it's Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's turn to show that he has the vision and leadership to build a durable cease-fire that could empower Palestinian moderates and begin building a pathway from the hell on earth that is Gaza.
David Ignatius: In troubled world, some optimism on Iran, Afghanistan
WASHINGTON — The world has been so chaotic lately that it was easy to overlook two U.S. diplomatic maneuvers — involving the turbulent nations of Afghanistan and Iran — that avoided what could have been dangerous ruptures.
David Ignatius: Obama's cautious policy on global challenges
WASHINGTON — In President Obama's sometimes maddeningly cautious foreign policy, you can see him struggling to answer what may be the hardest question of his presidency: How should the United States project power in a disorderly world without making the same mistakes it did in Iraq and Afghanistan?
David Ignatius: Charismatic ISIS terrorist operates like mobster
WASHINGTON — A glimpse of the passionate loyalty inspired by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the insurgent group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, comes in a recent video made by a 20-year-old Muslim recruit from the British city of Cardiff, Wales.
David Ignatius: Obama must act now to start stabilizing Iraq
WASHINGTON — What would an effective, quick response to the catastrophic civil wars in Iraq and Syria look like? Sometimes in foreign policy, as in sports, it can be useful to visualize the right technique and then hit the ball.
David Ignatius: History argues for crisis conference in shattering Middle East
WASHINGTON — Let's look at the reality on the ground in the Middle East: Iraq and Syria are effectively partitioned along sectarian lines; Lebanon and Yemen are close to fracturing; Turkey, Egypt and Saudi Arabia survive intact, but as increasingly authoritarian states.
David Ignatius: Our cycles of national worry about military power
WASHINGTON — When CBS News brought Dwight Eisenhower back to Normandy for the 20th anniversary of the D-Day landings in 1964, you might have expected the former commander of Allied forces to conclude with a triumphal comment. Instead, CBS captured an anguished Eisenhower against the backdrop…
David Ignatius: Neutral solution: A Finland model for Ukraine?
WASHINGTON — After months of war fever over Ukraine, perhaps the biggest surprise is that citizens there will be voting to choose a new government in elections that observers predict will be free and fair in most areas.
David Ignatius: Nightmare terrorist group grows in Syria
WASHINGTON — The chamber of horrors of the Syrian civil war has spawned a terrorist group so extreme that it has been rejected even by al-Qaida — and this toxic group is now establishing a safe haven in the city of Raqqah in northern Syria that could soon be used to attack foreign targets.
David Ignatius: Gangs take over in Iraq's never-ending war
AMMAN, Jordan — Iraq appears to be slipping back into civil war, and Sheik Zaydan Aljabiri, one of the political leaders of the Sunni insurgent group known as the Tribal Revolutionaries, seems confident that his side is winning.
David Ignatius: Ukraine poses existential crisis for Obama, too
WASHINGTON — As President Obama looks at the Ukraine crisis, he sees an asymmetry of interests: Simply put, the future of Ukraine means more to Vladimir Putin's Russia than it does to the U.S. or Europe. For Putin, this is an existential crisis; for the West, so far, it isn't, as the limited…
David Ignatius: Warning signs in China's economy
WASHINGTON — China's financial markets seem to be signaling trouble, as a government crackdown on corruption and loose credit begins to bite and jittery local investors scramble for safety.
David Ignatius: Fighting anew for democracy against pugnacious Putin
BRUSSELS — President Obama has spoken once again during the Ukraine crisis about being on the right "side of history." It's one of his signature lines, but he should stop: The phrase implies there's an inevitability to the advance of progress and justice. Would that it were so.
David Ignatius: In Syria, a moderate rebel with a just cause
WASHINGTON — With the Ukraine crisis, any fleeting hope that the U.S. and Russia could soon broker a political settlement in Syria has vanished. The U.S. needs an alternate strategy for strengthening Syrian moderates who can resist both the brutal Bashar al-Assad regime and al-Qaida extremists.
David Ignatius: Russian revanchism: Putin's catastrophic error in Ukraine
WASHINGTON — Napoleon is said to have cautioned during an 1805 battle: "When the enemy is making a false movement, we must take good care not to interrupt him." The citation is also sometimes rendered as "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." Whatever the precise wording, …

this is a staple for me. i use these colors in conjunction with a few others to create an everyday look. perfect for all over lid (wos), crease (the two browns). brows, highlight (venus)... those alone are amazing for me. i use wos, the brown colors, and venus everyday, and then usually do a liquid liner. when i vary my makeup, i do a different color blended into the crease. nice, basic, easy. foolproof for me.

This palette has its place and is not a bad thing, it just may not be the best thing, particularly for people of color. I find that I have to put in a little more work with this to pull off these shades, like using a white base/eye primer. It is truly a Naked "basic" palette. If you work a conservative gig or just want to use some really conservative colors, this palette would suit you well. I am a fan of UD across the board but, in hindsight, I could have left this one in the store. I rarely reach for it.
I'm thinking about returning this for a number of reasons. First, it's boring. I figured that would be a good thing and I could use it for travel, but it's just... so... dull. I never know what to do with it so I end up with the same eye look every time I use it. Second, the lightest shade is far too yellow for my skin tone which is extremely frustrating. Third, the colors don't blend well on my lids even after trying multiple primers. Fourth and last, the smell is god-awful. Mine smells of cat pee and it's just disgusting, especially when you're using the mirror that comes in the compact.
This palette is just too expensive for me to justify so I think I'll probably return it.
Hello, gorgeous!! I waited to get this for so, so long. I thought; "You have enough neutral eye palettes to last a lifetime, why do you need this??" I also wondered if the shadows would show well on my fair complexion. I took the plunge and have never been more impressed. I've used nothing else since I bought this over 6 months ago (!) and I've discovered so many added bonuses. First off, the size is heavenly! I can throw this in purses, travel kits, clutch bags, you name it! The shades are such fantastic multitaskers: Venus as an all-over face highlighter, Foxy as an under eye concealer setting powder, Faint as a brow powder, Crave as an eyeliner. The formula is so luscious and buttery. It lasts all day, looks chic and can be nude or smokey. My perfect world wish is that I could add a shimmery pink color and a bronze shade. But seriously this little baby is a winner.

This palette is the best thing in the world! I have been wanting it for so long and was super excited when I got it and tried out every color. Plus you can totally pair the colors perfectly together!!I do not have any regrets on buying this product.
This was one of the first eye shadow pallet I bought when I was getting into eye shadows. I didn't want to get anything too shimmery because I didn't feel I was ready for that, and this purchase was an amazing choice. Even after branching out to different ones this palette is still a favorite of mine.
Five mattes and a satiny shimmer in a travel sized palette which is perfect for carrying about all day for touch ups or for taking on holiday. I love my naked two palette but wished it had more mattes and now this perfectly complements it. I have used it everyday for the last ten days for natural, everyday looks but it is equally great for a smoky eye. The mirror is a good size and the eyeshadows are full size.
The colours are very light. I would have preferred an entirely matte palette as Venus does get used but I prefer bootycall from naked two on my blueish skin tone. Foxy is a repeat which annoys me a bit as a different colour such as a taupe would have been better and also foxy is a tad yellow for me. However W.O.S is a great base colour and evens out the purpley blue tinges on my lids and provides a lovely canvas for eye makeup. Naked is the perfect crease colour and is so buildable so can be natural or dramatic. Faint and crave are are great for using in the crease for more intensity and as liners.
Handy palette to have. Wearable colours. Great longevity. Value for money.
I like to use W.O.S on my whole eye, naked in the crease and faint in the outer v with bootycall as an inner highlight and chopper or YDK in the centre of my lid. Works for me and not too ageing.
This palette is so simple yet so diverse. The colors blend beautifully! I feel I can do my best eye makeup with this palette. Because the colors are matte they are perfect to do a daytime smoky eye... even use this to shape my eyebrows. I reach for this everyday when getting ready, A must have!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Best travel eyeshadow pallette out there. Completely worth buying I use this product every day! Has 5 neutral colors perfect for natural daytime looks and the size is perfect for traveling. The colors are very pigmented and you get a lot of product as well. I've had it for over a year and haven't hit pan yet!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got this as a gift, and it's AMAZING!
At first, I was a little bumbed that the shades weren't colorful, but you can do so much the neutral colors (a basic look, a soft wig, a smokey eye...)
I'm just in love with this palette, and I would definitely buy this again.

Convergence Networks survives recession by planning ahead
|| Print |
|Articles - February 2010
|Thursday, January 21, 2010
Everyone has a different memory of that first terrible recognition that the economy was in serious trouble. For Convergence Networks CEO David Murray, the realization came early, and it didn't feel good.
"We saw it coming in November of 2007," says Murray. "We could see people pulling back from IT spending and new technology. We had to do something."
At risk was the future of a growing information network support company that provides outsourced IT for customers ranging from the Oregon Food Bank to Hertz Rent-a-Car. Murray, who has been CEO for nearly three years, saw that all of the gains the company had made since starting up in 2000 could be wiped out. The first thing he did was to organize a two-day, off-site retreat for six members of the management team at a conference room at the World Trade Center. The next thing he did was to bring the outline of a plan back to headquarters in Milwaukie and present it at a company-wide meeting. "It was a nervous time," he recalls. "Nobody's job was safe. I could tell people were thinking, 'Should I really trust these guys?' But I gave them the whole story and told them we wanted to hear their ideas."
Between the management retreat and the staff meeting, ideas for saving money and improving efficiency began flowing. The ideas led to changes, and before long Murray and his team had built a comprehensive strategy for withstanding the downturn by honing the operation while improving customer service.
One easy decision was to start shopping for a better lease. The business parks of Clackamas County had been overbuilt and Murray could see that landlords would have trouble filling their spaces if the economy took the turn for the worse that he was anticipating. The company ended up saving 50% on rent for a new space less than a mile down the street from the old location. Moving costs were minimal.
Another idea was more structural. It involved setting up service teams of four to six people, organized by specialties and geographies. Each team received a private phone number and a block of direct inward dialing numbers. This enabled employees to get to know customers by name and build a reputation for prompt, consistent human service. Customers always spoke to the same team and they never ended up in phone-tree hell. That brought positive reviews and customer referrals, Murray says.
Under the category of "techy geeky stuff," in Murray's words, was an initiative to develop a centralized network operation center to respond to early warnings before they became expensive problems. Early detection of problems with servers and hard drives prevented more than a hundred hard drive crashes for Convergence customers this year, Murray says.
The most unorthodox initiative Murray and his team pursued involved cracking down on their worst customers. Every service business has to deal with customers who demand more time and attention than they are worth in revenues. This can be particularly true in IT, where some companies lack basic skills and infrastructure to the point they are very difficult to work with. "We can't make any money with customers when we're on the phone all day babysitting them," says Murray. "The customers who didn't return our calls, or abused our guys, they just took a lot of time and work."
Murray and his team came up with a list of the customers making the most noise for the least amount of business and then started going out to meet with them to discuss the problem directly. He says most customers "worked with us and made the changes that needed to be made." The few who didn't are not missed.
The results? After two years of improving operations, honing the company's focus and, yes, firing the worst customers, Murray is confident that Convergence will grow steadily into the future.
He expects gross revenues to grow from about $3.7 million in 2009 to about $4.2 million in 2010, while expanding from 32 employees to 35. He doubts the company would be in such a stable position if the management team hadn't recognized the problem early and put out a staffwide call for ideas. The transition took time and hard work, but Murray is pleased with the results.
"2009 actually ended up being one of our most profitable years," he says. "We're not going to win any awards for revenue growth but if you look at the bottom line we'll come out right near the top of the list."

November 28, 2014
San Angelo, Texas (AP) Child welfare officials in Texas are deciding whether to appeal a court decision that pulls the rug out from under a decision to remove hundreds of children from a polygamist sect.
A state appeals court yesterday said the state failed to show the youngsters were in any danger.
The more than 440 children were taken from the ranch during raids last month and put in foster care out of fear they were being subject to abuse, including underage marriage.
Yesterday's ruling is seen as a humiliating defeat for the Texas Child Protective Services agency.
Members of The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints see it as a vindication. They say they're being persecuted for their religious beliefs. One of their lawyers called it "a great day for Texas justice." but the head of the sect says he'll believe it when he sees "the schoolyard full of children" again.
The state now has a week-and-a-half to decide whether to appeal or to send the children home.

A pit depth gauge for use as an accessory to an underwater ultrasonic probeomprises two resiliently biased, freely flooded telescoping members a first of which has a first end wall adapted to ride on a surface to be inspected and a second of which has a second end wall adapted to be connected to the probe with the probe transducer in registration with an acoustic energy port. A stylus is fixed to the second member for axial movement with the transducer toward the first end wall as the stylus enters a pit, whereby the length of an acoustic water path is related to the pit depth.
1. A pit depth gauge device for use with an ultrasonic probe including
a transducer having a transmitting and receiving face, said device comprising:
a hollow, cup-shaped first member having a first end wall presenting an outer surface adapted to be pressed against an inspection surface and an inner, acoustically reflecting surface;
a hollow second member telescopically mounted for axial relative movements between said members and having a second end wall in which an acoustic energy port is defined, said second adapted to be mounted on said probe with said port in registration with said transducer face;
spring means, acting between said members, for normally urging said members to move outwardly of one another and for resiliently allowing said members to be pressed inwardly;
a stylus, having a sharp point, fixedly mounted on said second member and movable axially there with between retracted and extended positions relative to said outer surface of said first end wall for engagement in a pit in said inspection surface, whereby said transducer face is positioned at a distance from said reflecting surface that is related to the depth of said pit.
2. A pit depth gauge device as defined in claim 1, and wherein:
said first and second members define a cavity between said first and second end walls, said cavity being freely flooded when said device is underwater.
3. A pit depth gauge device as defined in claim 2, and wherein:
said first and second members comprise first and second concentric cylindrical walls, respectively;
said stylus comprises an elongate shaft portion and a pit engaging point portion at one end of said shaft portion; and
said first cylindrical wall being of larger diameter than said second cylindrical wall and characterized by a guide opening in which said shaft portion is received, and an axially extending slot in which said point portion is movable.
4. A pit depth gauge device as defined in claim 3, and wherein:
said second member comprises a radially extending flange substantially congruent with said first cylindrical wall; and
said stylus shaft portion having its end fixed to said flange.
5. A pit depth gauge device as defined in claim 4, and further comprising:

6. A pit depth gauge device as defined in claim 5, and wherein:
said flange is characterized by a guide hole;
said stop means comprises a shaft extending through said guide hole and fixed to said first cylindrical wall and a head on said shaft engageable by said first member when said stylus point is in said retracted position; and
said shaft and guide opening being operative to prevent rotation of said first and second members relative to one another.
7. A pit depth gauge device as defined in claim 6, and wherein:
said first cylindrical wall of said first member is formed of a substantially rigid synthetic plastic material;
said first end wall is formed of a corrosion resistant metal; and
said second member is formed of a substantially rigid synthetic plastic material.
8. A pit depth gauge device as defined in claim 7, and wherein:
said second end wall is characterized by an annular boss extending axially outwardly therefrom about said port, said boss presenting an edge adapted to be engaged by said transducer.
This invention relates to the field of ultrasonic inspection, and more particularly to apparatus for carrying out such inspection of the underwater portions of a ship hull or other underwater structure for pitting due to corrosion or the like.
Measuring of corrosion pits is not commonly done underwater because there has been no convenient means for doing so. Rather, a diver usually merely estimates the pit depths visually. More precise measurements can be taken using feeler gauges or by replicating the corroded surface with wax or epoxy compounds. These techniques, however, are time consuming and do not provide a read-out above water except by having the diver carry notes or replicas topside.
Considerable advances have been made in assessment of the condition of thickness of underwater hull plates by a diver hand carried ultrasonic transducer probe that is moved along the underwater surface of a hull plate. The return or reflected signals are recorded topside and provide much meaningful data as to hull condition, most notably hull plate thickness. Pitting of the plates, however, is not readily or accurately determined from such data, because the shapes and sizes of pits are such as to provide irregular sonic returns that are difficult, if not impossible, to interpret with confidence as to pit existance and dimensions.
With the foregoing in mind, it is a principal object of the present invention to provide a device for convenient underwater ultrasonic inspection of ship hull plate for detecting and accuratel
Another object of the invention is to provide a pit gauge device in the form of an accessory that can be used with existing hand-held ultrasonic hull inspection probes.
Still another object is to provide a device of the foregoing character that is inexpensive, rugged, easy to use and which will provide reliable and accurate data as to pit dimensions.
As yet another object, the invention aims to take advantage of the fact that the speed of sound is substantially less in water than in steel, whereby measuring the depth of pits steel plate indirectly by ultrasonically measuring a corresponding change in a water path provides greater resolution and accuracy in pit depth determination.
The invention may be further said to reside in certain novel constructions, combinations, and arrangements of parts by which pit gauge devices embodying the invention achieve the aforementioned objects and advantages, as well as others which will become apparent from the following detailed description of a presently preferred example thereof when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a pit gauge device embodying the invention, and adapted for use with an ultrasonic inspection probe, a fragment of which is shown in phantom;
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the device of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is an enlarged vertical sectional view of the device of FIG. 1, shown in association with a fragmentary portion of an ultrasonic inspection probe.
In the exemplary form of the invention illustrated in the drawings and described hereinafter, a pit gage device 10 serves as an accessory adapted for use with an existing ultrasonic hull inspection probe 12. The gauge device 10 comprises a first tubular body 14 conveniently formed of a rigid plastic or other non-corrosive material. The body 14 is conveniently in the form of a right cylinder and has a central bore 16. An axially extending opening or slot 18 is formed in the body 14 to accommodate an axially movable stylus 20.
One end of the body 14 is substantially closed by a plate 22 secured to the body by screws 24 and presenting outer and inner plane surfaces 26 and 28, respectively. The plate 22, which serves as a hull contacting element and a sonic energy reflector, is conveniently made of a durable and corrosion resistant metal such as stainless steel. It will be noted that the plate 22 has a notch 22a in the periphery thereof that is in registration with the slot 18 in the wall of body 14.
A second, generally tubular body 30, the tubular portion of which is of smaller diameter than the body 14, is telescopically and reciprocally received in the bore 16 of the body 14 and has a central bore 32. The body 30 is provided with an end wall 34 remote from the plate 22, and a radial flange 36 extending outwardly substantially to the outer diameter of the body 14. The body 30, including the end wall 34 and flange 36, is conveniently formed as an integral structure of a rigid plastic material. A central aperture or port 40 is formed in the end wall 34 and is defined in part by a surrounding annular boss 42 extending outwardly of the end wall. Openings 44 in the body 30 are provided to permit the interior of the device 10 to freely flood when submerged.
The stylus 20, which has a pointed end 20a adapted to be extended and retracted relative to the surface 26 of plate 22, is carried on one end of a shaft or rod 46 that extends slidingly through a guide bore 48 in the wall of body 14. The rod 46 has its other end extending through an opening 50 in flange 36, and fixed therein relative to the body 30 by a stop flange or collar 52 and nut 54.
A helical compression spring 60 is contained in the chamber 62 defined by the body 14, plate 22, and body 30, the spring acting against the inner surfaces of the plate 22 and the end wall 34 to resiliently urge the body 30 in a direction outwardly of the body 14. Outward movement of the bodies 30, 14 relative to one another is limited by a bolt or post 66 extending through a guide opening 68 in flange 36 and threadedly fixed at 70 in the wall of body 14. The post 66 is provided with a head 66a that cooperates with the flange 36 as a limit stop. Inward movement of the body 30 relative to the body 14 is limited by engagement of the edge 30a of the former with the plate 22. The range of movement is such that when the bodies are extended so that flange 36 engages head 66a, the point 20a of the stylus 20 is withdrawn to or inwardly of the plane of surface 26 of plate 22, and when the bodies are compressed until edge 30a engages plate 22, the stylus 20 projects outwardly of surface 26 by an amount sufficient to reach the bottom of the deepest pits expected to be encountered.
The device 10 is adapted to be fixed to the barrel 70 of a ultrasonic probe 12 by means of screws 72 extending through wall 34, with the boss 42 extending into the barrel. In this example, the probe 12 comprises an inner sleeve 74 that is movable within the barrel 70 into engagement with the boss 42, the sleeve carrying an ultrasonic transducer 76. The transducer 76 transmits or projects a beam of ultrasonic energy, represented by arrow 80, through the aperture or port 40 and waterfilled chamber 62 to the inner surface 28 of the plate 22. Such energy is partly reflected by that surface, as represented by arrow 82, so as to return through the port 40 to the transducer.
In use, a diver presses the device against the structure 84 to be inspected so that the reflecting plate 22 follows the surface 86 thereof, while the stylus 20 is allowed to engage in corrosion pits such as 88. It will be recognized, of course, that movements of the stylus into a pit 88 will establish a corresponding distance between the transducer and the reflecting surface 28. That distance will result in the transducer 76 receiving reflected acoustic energy, the travel time of which is readily detected by processing of corresponding electrical signals in a manner well known to those skilled in the art of ultrasonic measurements to produce resulting pit depth related signals which can be displayed and/or recorded, either in analog or digital form. The device 10 can be readily calibrated for use by engaging the stylus in recesses accurately machined into a calibration plate to predetermined depths, and recording the resulting ultrasonic measurements for comparison to the actual inspection results.
Obviously, other embodiments and modifications of the subject invention will readily come to the mind of one skilled in the art having the benefit of the teachings presented in the foregoing description and the drawing. It is, therefore, to be understood that this invention is not to be limited thereto and that said modifications and embodiments are intended to be included within the scope of the appended claims.
