- //Benjy Ferree
Benjy Ferree has a style so fun that you can help but crack a grin. It's terribly fabulous, criminally infectious, and so frickin' simple that it's ridiculously refreshing! The sweet, jangle-tinged "In the Countryside" ambles along and begs repeating all day long. Ferree also ups the ante with the rowdier, raunchier and ballsy "Dog Killers!", which sounds like a cross between the Strokes and the White Stripes. But the ebb and flow throughout the record is impressive, particularly when Ferree slows things down for the gorgeous "Little at a Time" and the winding, mid-tempo folksy "The Desert", which sounds like a combination of Devendra Banhart and Danny Michel. Just as stellar is the soulful, mournful "Private Honeymoon" and the rambling, Dylan-meets-the Raconteurs "Hollywood Sign". The album is very charming as well, with Ferree wearing his heart on his sleeves and in his lyrics during "Why Bother" and the homemade-sounding "In the Woods". Worthy of year-end lists everywhere!

The Reptile Database
2015-08-12 - new release of database
- 10,269 species, up from 10,178 in March (plus 91). 72 new species have been added in 2015 so far, and another 19 revalidated or elevated from subspecies status.
- 37,093 literature references, up from 36,278 in March (plus 815, including 761 published this year).
2015-03-24 - new release of database
- 10,178 species, up from 10,119 in December (plus 59, including revalidations and elevations); 165 species were described in 2014 and 13 described so far this year.
- 36,278 literature references, up from 35,615 in December (plus 663, including 96 published this year, and a record 1,652 published last year).
2014-12-08 - new release of database
- 10,119 species (including 139 described in 2014).
- 35,615 literature references (including 1,203 papers published in 2014).
The Reptile Database is a taxonomic database that provides basic information about all living reptile species, such as turtles, snakes, lizards, and crocodiles, as well as tuataras and amphisbaenians, but does not include dinosaurs.
Currently there are more than 10,000 species and an additional 2,700 subspecies. This is making reptiles the largest vertebrate group after fish (~25,000 species) and birds (~10,000 species), and significantly larger than mammals (~5,000 species) or amphibians (~6,000 species).
The Reptile Database provides taxonomic information for the Catalogue of Life and the Encyclopedia of Life. Our taxonomic information has also been used by GenBank and many other resources and is the only comprehensive reptile database on the web.
The reptile database can be used to find all species within a certain geographic area (e.g. all snakes of Egypt). Its collection of more than 2,500 images allow users to identify a species or at least get an idea how the species or genus may look like. More than 30,000 references provide a guide to further information.

In April, 2003, I posted a tuna spring rolls recipe using cooked fresh tuna. Although I will always prefer fresh over canned, today is one day when I didn't have time to thaw anything from the freezer as it was almost lunch time when I got out of bed. The solution? An easy dish that takes little time to prepare. I was in the mood for spring rolls, I checked the pantry, there were three cans of tuna, there was a packet of spring roll wrappers in the fridge, there are vegetables on the counter… So, lunch was tuna spring rolls using canned tuna. I decided to update the April, 2003 recipe which you will now find on page two of this entry.
Canned tuna… what kind? We only buy chunks or solid in brine or water. If unavailable, we buy tuna chunks or solid in oil. Always unflavored. And we don't buy tuna flakes because there is much less fish inside the can. If you ask if me flavored canned tuna will work for this recipe, I'll advise to try it yourself and let us know how it turns out.
- a can of tuna chunks or solid in brine, water or oil
1 medium-sized potato
1 medium-sized carrot
a bunch of scallions (green onion, onion leaves), finely sliced
1 tsp. of chili flakes
1 tsp. of salt or to taste
1/2 tsp. of freshly ground black pepper or to taste
1 egg, beaten
12 pieces of 6-inch spring roll wrappers, separated
about 2 c. of vegetable cooking oil for frying
Open the can of tuna and drain off the liquid.
Heat the cooking oil in a wok or frying pan. Cut the potato and carrot into 1/4-inch cubes. Fry the potato and carrot cubes until lightly crisp. Scoop out and drain on a stack of kitchen paper.
In a bowl, put the drained tuna, potato, carrot, scallions, chili flakes, salt, pepper and half of the beaten egg. Mix.
Place about a heaping tablespoonful of filling at the center of a wrapper and roll (see step-by-step guide on wrapping spring rolls), sealing the edges with the remaining half of the beaten egg.
Reheat the oil until you see fine wisps of smoke above the surface. Fry the spring rolls until golden, in batches if necessary so as not to overcrowd the pan and make the temperature drop which will make your spring rolls greasy and soggy.
Serve the spring rolls immediately. You may cut them into halves, if you wish. You can serve them with any dipping sauce that you like. Personally, I like sweet and sour sauce (click here for the recipe).
Cooking time (duration): 45 minutes
Number of servings (yield): 2
Meal type: lunch
The original tuna spring rolls recipe published on April 27, 2003, as edited, is on page two.

HOUSTON (July 26, 2013)--Billionaire Texas oilman, developer and philanthropist George P. Mitchell has died at his home in Galveston at the age of 94, his family announced Friday.
Mitchell, the son of Greek immigrants who became one of the wealthiest men in the U.S., is considered the father of hydraulic fracking to recover natural gas from shale deposits, pioneering the now common process that led to an energy boom.
The announcement Friday on the family foundation website said he died of natural causes while surrounded by relatives.
Mitchell was born in Galveston, graduated at the top of his class at Texas A&M University in 1940 and was one of the school's top benefactors.
He and his wife, Cynthia, who died in 2009, had 10 children.

Perfect location for cool breezes & the sunset.
Management & the staff were the greatest!
I will go back next year.Highly recommend it.
Best Bargain in Jaco
My girlfriend and I intended to spend 2 nights at Clarita's Beach Hotel. We ended up staying 8 nights. Clarita's Hotel and Restaurant/Bar have to be the best bargain in Jaco. For $60 we got a nice size room on the ocean with hot water shower, cold ac, refrigerator, 60 cable tv stations and a room safe. We had a great view of the ocean from our front window and enjoyed spectacular sunsets every night. The surf in front of our room was a challenge each morning. The restaurant, which also sits on the beach, has great food, cheap drinks, excellent service and a fun band on Sundays. It is a great place to just hang out, meet people from around the globe and enjoy the Pacific's Pura Vida. Clarita's is paradise for beach bums who don't want to spend a fortune.
Clean and simple, very simple
We stayed here on our first night in CR. The hotel itself is more of an old motel. There are reasons that there are no pictures of the hotel on the website. The rooms were small, but they were clean and had a fridge. The beds had a sheet, that is it. No covers. The bathrooms were very used, except that it looked like the shower was new with tile. The owners were nice and made sure that everything was ok. You check in at the bar, which I thought was a little strange, but thats where everyone is so no big deal. The A/C worked great!!!!!!!!!!!! I froze with no covers. They also had lots of cable TV. Of the 3 places we stayed on our trip this one had the best A/C and the best cable TV.
As for Jaco in general, I would not go back. The beach is a huge dump with garbage everywhere. The bar seemed to be more of a "ladies of the night" pick up joint for old americans.
On a lighter note, the price was by far the cheapest and it is one block from the Best Western. We walked though the BW and it was an old facility as well. If you must stay in Jaco, don't waste your $$ on the Best Western. Claritas was half the price and an ok clean facility.
We only stayed one night and left in the morning. Our next stop was Manuel Antonio. I reccomend not stopping in Jaco and keep going to MA the first day.
Just back from Clarita"s
Just spent 5 nights at Clarita's and had a great time. The rooms are simple but very clean and in good shape. It's obvious the new owners are putting whatever they make back into the place. The bar and restaurant is almost always open, right on the beach and the food's very good. Plus, the nicest people that you could ask for on staff.
We loved Clarita's!!!
I just spent New Year's at Clarita's and I would LOVE to recommend it to anyone!! As students, traveling and surfing on a budget, Clarita's was affordable, and a far better deal than most other hotels we researched in the area and other parts of Costa Rica. The staff is incredibly helpful, they speak great English and helped us find the best surf spots every day. The hotel is very clean, and everything is in great condition; we also loved the food at Clarita's sportsbar. Refridgerators in the rooms, AC (for only a small extra fee per night!), ceiling fans, fresh linens everyday, lots of space, and 24 hour security: this hotel was great!! Right on the beach, and a 5 minute walk to "the strip" in town where all the night life is... but just far enough away from the noise, Clarita's is in the perfect location. Next time I'm in Jaco, I am definatley staying at Clarita's!! Its fun, friendly, safe, convienent, and expresses Pura Vida to the fullest!
Good place, nice folks
had a great time there, bar is a great place to watch the sun go down. rooms had a funky smell which went away after you turned the fan on. Restraunt/bar has some nice specials and you can watch sports in the bar.
Great Location and Prices, Fun Times
Just spend 6 nights at Clarita's Beach Hotel on the tranquil north end of Jaco's Beach. If you want to find a candy or flower on your pillow at night, Clarita's is not for you - instead try the Marriott Los Suenos for $350 per night and enjoy the beautiful condo crowd.
However, if you want to be on Jaco's Beach in an affordable room (mine cost $60 per night in January) that overlooks the Pacific and has the essentials, i.e., AC, cable, TV, hot water, refrigerator, room safe, then Clarita's is for you. I liked the fact that it is within walking distance of Jaco's main strip but it is also secluded on the beach away from the traffic and noise. It is also convenient to book since Claritas takes reservations and accepts credit cards at claritashotel.com.
Clarita's Restaurant and Bar is also located on the beach. It has a varied breakfast, lunch and dinner menu with both local specialty meals and gringo dishes cooked to order on her barbeque grill. I recommend her seared tuna steak, the mahi mahi and her Kansas City style barbeque ribs. I also enjoyed her $2.00 ceviche appetizer every afternoon while watching a great sunset from my beach lounge chair.
I found Clarita's to be just a really fun place to hang out. The bar and restaurant has lively music, a band on Saturdays, many satellite TV's for the sports junkies and cheap drinks! What else can one ask for? Well, Clarita's staff of beauties is friendly and has that can do attitude. I'm definitely going back for seconds.
Great place
I had a great time in Jaco and Clarita's was a major factor. it is affordable and right on the beach with a great view. The staff is excellent and the place is fun. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Thumbs up!
We didn't know what to expect when we drove in on the first exit north of town but we were very pleasantly surprised. My wife and I shared a nice sized room with a great view of the ocean. The rooms are simple, but more than comfortable and the hot water shower was great. For the price, we were very pleased. The help was very friendly and we enjoyed some very good meals at their restaurant that looks out over the beach. Good music and lots of sports on the tube. It doesn't hurt that the waitresses are very cute and personable. I liked the fact that we were on the north side of town which seemed quite peaceful, yet we were only a short walk from all the action in Jaco. This place gets a thumbs up.
Great staff
Clarita's is under new management and the owner who is from Phoenix, Az. is in the process of upgrading all the rooms with the ameneties the wife or girlfriend expect to have. The rooms are decent size with fifty cable channels and hot water and AC. The bar in front on the beach has satellite TV for the sports nut and the local chef is excellent and the prices fair. The staff is one of the nicest group you would ever want to meet. They have a twenty-four hour night watchman and it is a five minute walk into town. It is located in the north end of town so it is peaceful at night.

I have foolishly set the picture import settings wrongly for when a camera card is put in my computer. It correctly asks me whether I would like to import the pictures using Windows picture import, and when I click on this option it flashes up the "import pictures" dialog very briefly, and then immediately gets on with importing the pictures to the wrong place.
I simply want to click on the "import settings" link on the dialog - but it's too quick for me, and even if I do manage it it just ignores me. Windows Help, useful as ever, tells me to click on the link.

Turkey's Not-Quite President
Selahattin Demirtas and the Evolution of Turkish Politics
In an election, coming in third place is rarely cause for celebration. But for Selahattin Demirtas, the charismatic and telegenic 41-year-old politician who ran in Turkey's August 10 presidential election, it was. Nearly ten percent of Turkish voters cast their ballots for Demirtas, a Kurd.
The Kurds are Turkey's largest ethnic minority and are located predominately in the country's southeast. They have struggled since the late twentieth century against the Turkish majority for increased autonomy and cultural and linguistic rights. Some have called for a separate Kurdish state. Others have fought for it: In the early 1980s, a number of Kurds formed a Marxist guerrilla force called the Kurdistan Workers Party, more commonly known as the PPK. Since then, the PPK, a recognized terrorist group, and the Turkish military have fought a brutal war in which more than 40,000 have been killed.
Although the Kurds have secured increased rights and legal protections over the past decade, efforts to find a permanent resolution to the so-called Kurdish conflict have gone nowhere. Demirtas' candidacy offered an opportunity to change all that. "We want peace to rapidly be made a lasting one," Demirtas repeated to crowds of supporters at a number of campaign rallies. "The presidential election is an opportunity to break the tension."
Demirtas' words weren't empty. As a candidate, he offered Kurds a chance at political power and to engage on wider issues such as education, foreign policy, healthcare, and jobs. He also gave his Kurdish party, the People'

From tight-fitting stilettos to flats that pinch your feet throughout the day, looking fabulous can have it's price, and it often comes in the form of calluses and dry heels. If you struggle day in and day out with calluses, now is the time to take action. With a few of these quick tips, you can get rid of calluses once and for all and rejuvenate your feet.
Ill-fitting shoes are the main culprit behind calluses, and if you spend most of your time rushing around the office, it's easy to understand why they can have such a damaging effect on feet. Once you get home, it's important to put your feet up – literally. With a nourishing sugar and mango foot polish, you can hydrate the dry skin on your feet and give your heels a vital dose of nutrients.
When it comes to treating stubborn calluses, you'll need to call in the big guns. A fluid designed to slough away tough, hardened skin, and soften calluses can be an excellent resource and deliver spot-specific treatment to coarse heels.
But above all, if you want to prevent calluses, you should consider changing up your footwear. If heels are mandatory around your office, try slipping into sneakers when you're driving or traveling to work. While at your desk, you can change your pointed heels for comfortable sandals that won't place pressure on your feet.

Small Biz Owners Weigh In On Economic Crisis
While small businesses employ fewer than 500 people, or in most cases fewer than 20, they account for half of U.S. economic output. And with cash short these days, many small businesses are on the front lines of the credit crisis.
A panel of small business operators describes the toll the crisis is taking. They are: Andy Shallal, owner of Busboys and Poets restaurant and lounge in the Washington, D.C. area.; Doris McMillon, president and chief strategist for Fort Washington, Md.-based McMillon Communications, which helps train executives to face the media; and Daniel Parra, managing director of the Latino Economic Development Corporation in Maryland.

TRENTON Ś Cooperating with the feds in former Mayor Tony Mackĺs corruption case has done little for Joseph ôJoJoö Giorgianni.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Attorneyĺs Office opposed a request filed earlier this week by Giorgianniĺs attorney to remove the electronic monitoring device from his clientĺs ankle.
ôThe government opposes the blanket request to remove the home confinement and electronic monitoring conditions,ö the U.S. attorneys state.
Giorgianni was seeking removal of the ankle bracelet to tend to ôtenant and maintenance matters on his income producing properties.ö
One of the properties Giorgianni owns on the 1200 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard is JoJoĺs Steakhouse. Giorgianni admitted during his plea agreement that he handed the convicted former mayor an $8,000 bribe in the back area of the infamous sandwich shop.
The feds deferred the request to address visitation of the rental properties to pretrial services.
ôPretrial services, who has been monitoring Mr. Giorgianni since his September 2012 arrest, is in the best position to determine whether he should be permitted to do so,ö the U.S. attorneys state.
Giorgianniĺs attorney Jerome Ballarotto also claimed his client suffers from significant health issues, which causes his legs to swell, leading to ôchaffing and rednessö where the monitoring device is located. Sores may develop putting Giorgianni at risk for infection, Ballarotto stated in court documents.
Ballarotto had a similar motion denied in November, also highlighting the health issues.
The government argued the 64-year-old Ewing resident was ôa danger to the communityö and he had a history of possible ômalingering.ö Prosecutors also outlined Giorgianni made threats against them in court.
Several weeks before he was set to face charges with Mack and Mackĺs brother Ralphiel in January, Giorgianni accepted a plea deal.
He also cooperated with the governmentĺs investigation by admitting he gave the former mayor an envelope of cash at his sandwich shop in the presence of his longtime girlfriend Mary Manfredo, who took the stand against the Macks, helping to seal their fate.
In February, Tony Mack was convicted by a jury on six counts of extortion, bribery, and mail and wire fraud for his participation in a parking garage development scheme set up by the feds. His brother was also convicted on three counts of extortion and bribery in the scheme.
In a separate case, Giorgianni Ś along with Manfredo Ś pleaded guilty in December to their involvement in an oxycodone distribution ring based out of JoJoĺs Steakhouse.
Giorgianniĺs sentencing is scheduled for July 15. He has been ordered to wear an electronic monitoring device since September 2012.
No decision has been rendered yet by Judge Michael A. Shipp on laxing Giorgianniĺs bail conditions.

Triumph has dusted off the specifications for the company's 2012 Speed Triple R as well as next year's Tiger Explorer 1200 and a new Steve McQueen tribute bike.
The 2012 Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200 (pictured above) will receive a full unveil at this year's EICMA show. That means that details are scarce on the BMW GS-fighting bigger brother to the Tiger 800, but we do know that the machine will come equipped with a throttle-by-wire system as well as switchable ABS and traction control as standard equipment... not to mention the 1200cc inline-three engine.
Like the 2012 Explorer, the Speed Triple R boasts a host of improvements over the last iteration, with a new Ohlins NIX30 43mm fork and a TTX36 rear shock as well as a set of PVM five-spoke forged aluminum wheels that are a full 3.5 pounds lighter than the standard Speed Triple hardware. A set of four-piston Brembo monoblock calipers help increase the bike's braking performance by around five percent, and an anti-lock braking system is also available at an additional cost. Unfortunately, the bike will hold onto its painfully-ugly headlight array for at least another year.
Lastly, Triumph is paying homage to Steve McQueen with the fittingly named Triumph Steve McQueen Edition. The Bonneville T100 is inspired by the actor's own Trophy TR6 and wears a matte green paint scheme along with stenciled Triumph logos in black along the bike's tank. Both side covers are adorned with McQueen's signature, while a solo seat and plenty of blacked-out hardware wrap up the changes. Triumph only plans to produce 1,100 examples of the Steve McQueen Edition, and full specs will be unveiled alongside those for the Speed Triple R and Tiger Explorer 1200 at EICMA.

Notes / Commercial Description:
The story of the Seven Gates comes from rural Pennsylvania, not far from the Spring House Brewery. According to the legend, a mental asylum for the criminally insane stood in the middle of a dense forest. Surrounding the asylum were seven concentric gates, preventing would-be escapees. One terrifying night, the asylum caught fire, causing the inmates to flee into the menacing forest. As the tale goes, the former asylum residents were trapped by the seven gates and eventually succumbed to the perils of the forest. The locals swear that the tormented souls of the inmates will torture anyone brave enough to attempt passage through the Seven Gates of the forest. Spring House Brewing Co. honors the local legend by producing a terrifyingly delicious brew that is as familiar as a friendly forest, yet possesses a mysterious quality that will haunt you from the first taste. The enormous, hopped flavor and the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into each bottle will have you believing that the master brewer must be a direct descendant of the former asylum residents.

Mental Disorders Common in America

Therapy for Teens: What to Expect
If you are going to see a therapist, the following Q&As can give you some insight into what to expect. Keep in mind that many teens are in therapy today, trying to gain greater insight into the way they think, act and react.
Read the Therapy for Teens: What to Expect article > >
The Michigan resident's highs and lows came to a head when, as a sales manager for a Detroit broadcasting outlet, she had a grand delusion that God was telling her to bankroll one of the station's charitable events.
The result: Castine ended up with a $43,000 credit card debt and thoughts of suicide.
"It was as if the bubble of unreality and distorted thinking had (burst)," says Castine, noting periods of despair coexisting with moments of great creativity. She sought psychiatric help and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression.
Mental Disorders Are Common
Castine's story may seem unique, but millions of Americans share her plight. According to the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance, 3.7% of American adults have bipolar disorder, and 4 out of 5 of those who have it may not know it.
In the bigger picture of psychological illness, the statistics may be even more alarming. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) reports that roughly 22% of U.S. adults -- about one in five -- suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. According to the NIMH, about 1% of the population age 18 and older in any given year has bipolar disorder.
The numbers, however, may vary depending on the diagnostic criteria used by researchers, says William Narrow, MD, associate director of the division of research at the American Psychiatric Association (APA). He was part of the study that came up with the 22% figure cited by the NIMH.
That number, he says, may include people who may have a mild disorder -- those who may benefit from preventative treatment to keep symptoms from impairing their lives.
After reanalyzing the data, Narrow says the number of Americans with a mental disorder is closer to 15% in all ages. "I think it's more realistic in terms of who needs treatment acutely," he says.

Can Small Businesses Benefit From Offshore Outsourcing?
It is quite common to find small business owners handling every aspect of their business so that they can get some satisfaction of knowing that everything (and that includes the tiniest details) is going great with production, sales, finance, customer service and so on. The thought of having an "Outsider" handle some aspects of their company completely turns them off offshore outsourcing. Offshore outsourcing services will definitely not put a hole in your bank account; this is also one of the reasons why small business owners don't consider offshore outsourcing; they think it's very expensive.

Amazon.com Review
I'm Just Here for the Food is chock-full of information, but Brown teaches the science of cooking with a soft touch, adding humor even to the book's illustrations--his channeling of the conveyer belt episode of I Love Lucy to explain heat convection is a hoot. The techniques are thoroughly explained, and Brown also frequently adds how to augment the cooking to get optimal results, including a tip on modifying a grill with a hair dryer for more heat combustion. But what about the food? Brown sticks largely to the traditional, from roast turkey to braised chicken piccata, though he does throw a curveball or two, such as Bar-B-Fu (marinated, barbecued tofu). And you'll quickly be a convert of his French method of scrambling eggs via a specially rigged double boiler--the resulting dish is soft, succulent, and lovely. But more than just a recipe book, I'm Just Here for the Food is a fascinating, delightful tour de force about the love of food and the joy of discovery. --Agen Schmitz

Re: FORGET fico score NOT used by Mtg Lenders[ Edited ]

I would agree that the OP is mixing FAKO and FICO scores. Hard to find any actual facts in the post.
The scores used for all normal mortgage applications are:
EQ Beacon 5 - The EQ FICO you get here.
TU FICO Risk Score, Classic 04 - One version later than the TU FICO you get here.
EX Fair Issac v2 FICO - The one you could get here before EX removed it in 2008 or so.
One thing I might add is that EQ does not seem to have the EQ FICO products buried so deeply on their website anymore. It does seem easier to find but you still have to know to look for a FICO score instead of their non-FICO scores.

All I can say is....FANTASTIC!!!,
This review is from: Pie: 300 Tried-and-True Recipes for Delicious Homemade Pie (Paperback)
Having been raised by my southern grandmother, I have spent a very long time trying to just come close to one of her delicious pies. All of that training she gave me as a child on the perfect, easy pie crust flopped each time. My filling was too runny, too sour, too sweet, too...well, just too. And, yes, I've bought every pie book possible, only to have each attempt turn out inedible and my esteem riddled with disappointment. My family had given up. That was until I bought this book.
I didn't think it possible, but everyone now thinks I'm a pie genius. My husband couldn't believe the Bumble Berry Pie with the unusual shredded top crust. He says he never wants a regular top crust on a fruit pie again. Our friends ate a whole Chocolate Brownie Pecan Pie in one sitting. And the Blackberry Silk...mmmmm. I could go on and on...and not one failure.
Thank you, Mr. Haedrich. After years of failing, I'm now remembering what it's like to sit at my gran's table and wait in anticipation for that delicious pie to come out of the oven. And now my family is doing the same.

Examination of Binaural Interaction39(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1909881View Description Hide Description
The study of binarual interaction may be conveniently divided into three areas: anatomy,physiology, and psychology. These areas, while furnishing large amounts of data, have not yet provided enough information to make possible a complete theory of binarual interaction. Several partial theories are discussed, two experiments are reported, the results of the experiments set in perspective, and the problems of the construction of a full theory of binarual interaction are presented. A Bibliography is appended.
Ultrasonic Attenuation and Relaxation Times in Water Vapor and Heavy‐Water Vapor39(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1909882View Description Hide Description
Ultrasonic attenuation in water vapor and heavy‐water vapor has been measured over the range of angular frequency/pressure from 10 to several hundred radian megacycles per second/atmosphere about 137°C. The resulting vibrational relaxation time at 1 atm for vapor comes out to be about and that in vapor to be about .
Reflection of Sound Waves from Transition Layers39(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1909883View Description Hide Description
The problem of reflection of plane waves from transition layers in fluid media with an arbitrary, variation of velocity and density is discussed as an extension of a recent paper by the author [Geophysics 30, 122–132 (1965)]. Numerical results are given for some cases of interest. It is found that the reflection coefficient is very insensitive to the precise manner in which the elastic parameters vary within the transition zone as long as both velocity and density terminate at the same values.
Uniqueness of Mean‐Square Approximate Systems39(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1909884View Description Hide Description
A proof is given, in a form readily available to the engineer, of the uniqueness of mean‐square approximate systems. The proof is based upon the fact that weighted mean‐square error can be expressed as a simple quadratic form in normal coordinates of sample systems.
Method of Computation of Damped Resonance Frequencies for a System of Equal Masses, Equal Spring Constants, and Equal Viscous‐Damping Coefficients39(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1909885View Description Hide Description
A method of computation of natural frequencies for a closed, coupled, damped‐vibrational system of equal masses, springs, and dashpots is devised, based on a known method applicable to an equivalent undamped system. It is shown that the higher oscillatory modes are completely suppressed. The analysis is extended to a viscoelastic continuum exhibiting similar behavior.
Sound Scattering by Elastic Cylindrical Shells39(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1909886View Description Hide Description
We present the solution for the scattered field corresponding to a plane sound wave incident upon an infinite elastic circular‐cylindrical concentric shell, imbedded in a fluid and enclosing another fluid. The results are shown to contain the known special cases of fluid and elastic solid cylinders. Furthermore, limiting expressions for long wavelengths are obtained in special cases.
Scattering of Sound by a Rigid Movable Sphere39(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1909887View Description Hide Description
The echoes from a rigid, freely movable sphere, due to an incident train of plane waves, are computed, together with the associated rigid‐body motions of the sphere. These results are compared with those for a rigid, immovable sphere and it is shown that they differ significantly only for values of ka below about 5. The significance of the results in relation to previous work on sonarechoes from solid, elastic spheres in water is discussed. A particular case of forced motion of the rigid sphere, where the echoes diminish to zero at high frequencies, is also investigated.
Noise Covariance and Vertical Directivity in a Deep Ocean39(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1909888View Description Hide Description
Under the assumption that deep‐water oceannoise is a superposition of uncorrelated plane waves, the covariance can be expressed in terms of the noise directivity. We propose a simple directivity function that agrees with experimental results and use it to study the covariance for the case of vertical receiving points. We investigate covariance versus spacing for zero time delay and various directivities and bandwidths. When almost all of the noise arrives from the horizontal, the zero‐delay covariance is always positive; when most of the noise arrives from overhead, it is negative for some spacings. We present contours of constant covariance as a function of spacing and time delay for various directivities and a narrow frequency band. We also examine covariance for single‐frequency noise. Vertical noise with steering towards the vertical and horizontal noise with steering towards the horizontal are found to give the same covariance values. We examine maximum covariance over time delay and also that delay for which maximum covariance occurs. Numerous comparisons are made between our predictions and published experimental results. Finally, covariance for horizontal receiving points is considered.
Expressions for the Electromechanical Coupling Factor in Terms of Critical Frequencies39(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1909889View Description Hide Description
Many expressions for the coupling factor in terms of the fundamental resonant and antiresonant frequencies have been developed. The applicability of many of these is limited, either because they have been obtained from simplified equivalent circuits, or because they apply to particular electromechanical configurations. Approaching the problem by way of the wave equation and mechanical analysis raises difficulties that can only be resolved for relatively simple cases. An approach through a generalized equivalent circuit is used to determine more‐general expressions for the coupling factor in terms of the resonant and antiresonant frequencies at the fundamental and overtone modes of vibration. Theoretical and practical applications of these expressions are presented.
Monostatic Reflection from Rigid Objects Defined by Quadric Surfaces39(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1909890View Description Hide Description
By applying theory of acoustic reflection applicable in the far field and embodying the Kirchhoff approximation, a formula is derived that may be used to calculate the velocity potential reflected monostatically from any rigid, nonconcave object that can be defined by a quadric surface. By substituting appropriate geometrical constants into this formula, it may be used to calculate the velocity potential reflected from such objects as: (1) the ellipsoid and its special cases, the sphere and the prolate and oblate spheroids, (2) the limited paraboloid and the limited hyperboloid, both of elliptical cross section, (3) the cone of elliptical cross section. The formula also allows the calculation of the velocity potential reflected from the segment or the frustum portion of any of the above objects. The formula is restricted to orientations of the reflecting object such that the intersection of the object's two planes of symmetry coincides with the monostatic axis.
Underwater Sound Propagation in the Straits of Florida39(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1909891View Description Hide Description
In a fixed‐system study of relationships between variations in underwater sound transmission across the Straits of Florida and variations in environmental factors, an unexpected degree of phase stability was observed. The phase of the received wave, referenced to the phase of the transmitted wave, varied less than 100° during intervals of . Intervals of 1–4 h occurred in which the phase varied less than 360°. In other intervals, the phase drifted in positive or negative directions at maximum rates of 5°–15°/min. The over‐all behavior had a pronounced diurnal period. The observations were made during a 4‐day continuous test employing 420‐Hz CW (continuous wave) transmission. Results for individual arrivals by different paths, obtained in subsequent transmission employing pseudorandom sequences, were consistent with the CW observations.
Acoustic Interaction Effects in Arrays of Small Spheres39(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1909892View Description Hide Description
Multiple acoustic scattering in line and plane arrays of spheres can sometimes reduce the acoustic pressure on the sphere surface to well below the free‐field value, especially for gas‐filled spheres in water. However, under certain conditions, there can be an enhancement. The resonance phenomenon is much sharper for a single spherical bubble than for a cylindrical bubble or a cylindrical vortex. The line array of small spheres behaves just like the cylindrical bubble: the sharp sphere resonance is suppressed and a broader resonance at a lower frequency appears. A plane array of such spheres behaves just like a plane screen of gas—there is no resonance at all. The reduction in phase velocity is calculated from scattering considerations for a composite medium having a low concentration of below‐resonance spheres.
First‐Occurrence Time of High‐Level Crossings in a Continuous Random Process39(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1909893View Description Hide Description
This paper deals with the statistical distribution of the first‐occurrence and first‐recurrence times of the crossing of a given level in a continuous random process. Approximate forms of the first‐occurrence and first‐recurrence time densities are found by considering the successive crossings to form a renewal process. A relatively simple exponential distribution is found to give an appropriate representation of the limiting case when the crossings of the level under consideration are statistically rare events. Numerical examples are worked out for some stationary Gaussian processes. The method is of use in evaluating survival probabilities for randomly excited mechanical systems subject to failure upon occurrence of a sufficiently high load.
Frequency Discrimination of Random‐Amplitude Tones39(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1909894View Description Hide Description
The ability of human observers to discriminate frequencies of tones between 1000–15 000 cps was measured in a temporal two‐alternative forced‐choice discrimination experiment. On each trial, one of the test tones, selected at random, was attenuated by a random amount ranging from 8 to 20 dB in 2‐dB steps. Comparison of the results of this experiment with those of previous experiments in which fixed‐amplitude tones were used, indicates little difference between the observers' abilities to discriminate frequencies of fixed‐ and random‐amplitude tones at 1000 cps. Discrimination with random‐amplitude tones becomes relatively poorer, however, as frequency is increased. For example, the classical data show a frequency just‐noticeable difference (jnd) of 40 cps at 10 000 cps; in the present experiment, with random‐amplitude signals, the observers were unable to achieve 75% correct responses until ΔF was 300 cps.
Detection of Auditory Signals in Reproducible Noise39(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1909895View Description Hide Description
Twelve reproducible noises were used as stimuli in a two‐interval forced‐choice signal‐detection experiment. The noises were stored numerically in a PB250 computer that converted them to sound during the experiment by means of a digital‐to‐analog converter. The 240 numbers specifying a noise were sampled at a rate of 2500 numbers/sec, generating a 96‐msec stimulus. A sinusoidal signal with a period of 8 samples/cycle was added to one noise on half the trials. Spectral analyses were computed for all stimuli. On nonsignal trials, biases to particular noises were found that could be explained in part, but not entirely, by differences between the noise pairs in energy around the signal frequency. Performance on signal trials was related to the energy difference between the stimuli in the region near the signal frequency, but was not entirely accounted for by this variable. Special characteristics of certain noises appear to affect the subject's response when these noises appear in either signal or nonsignal trials. Additional experiments further defined various aspects of these findings, but did not establish the origin of the biases.
Finite‐Difference Method for the Investigation of the Vibrations of Solids and the Evaluation of the Equivalent‐Circuit Characteristics of Piezoelectric Resonators. I39(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1909896View Description Hide Description
The differential equations of motion and boundary conditions of a piezoelectricresonator are first described in general terms, and then developed in a form suitable for the analysis of the free or forced vibrations of contour modes of a thin rectangular plate. Simplifications made possible by elastic and piezoelectric constants of certain symmetries are discussed. A finite‐difference representation of these equations is then developed, particular attention being given to the difficulties of dealing with the boundary conditions at the corners. The paper then deals with methods of handling the resulting set of simultaneous equations so as to determine the resonant frequencies, particle displacements, vibrational nodes, and equivalent‐circuit characteristics of various modes of vibration.
Finite‐Difference Method for the Investigation of the Vibrations of Solids and the Evaluation of the Equivalent‐Circuit Characteristics of Piezoelectric Resonators. II39(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1909897View Description Hide Description
This part of the paper describes the results obtained by use of a finite‐difference method to determine the characteristics of several types of contour mode of vibration of rectangular and square plates of piezoelectricceramic. Four extensional modes (of "length," "edge," and "radial" types) are discussed in some detail, together with two types of flexural or shear mode. Predicted resonant frequencies are within 2% of experimental values, over a wide variation in the relative lengths of the two sides of the rectangle. Typical vibration patterns of displacement are presented, with positions of nodes. For the four extensional modes, the piezoelectric strength (as expressed by the motional capacitance of the equivalent circuit) is calculated for rectangles of various proportions.
Direct‐Recording Frequency and Amplitude Meter for Analysis of Musical and Other Sonic Waveforms39(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1909898View Description Hide Description
The notation of frequency and time relations in the study of musical phenomena produced by single unisonous instruments or song is discussed. The nature of the pertaining electrical waveforms in recorded music of this type, and especially the possibilities of extracting the fundamental and measuring and recording its frequency (pitch), is treated. A transistorized instrument performing this function and having fast response to changes in frequency is described. The output from this meter is fed to a fast ink recorder to show the frequency variations on a convenient diagram as an objective form of music printing, or "visible music." As a complement, the original waveform is rectified and plotted logarithmically in a second channel on the recorder to show the amplitude variation. The frequency compass covered in a single registration is normally a single octave, which can start at any consecutive minor‐third interval (frequency ratio 6/5) in the range A1 (55 cps) to A6 (1760 cps). Changes with time can be recorded with a detail down to about 0.01 sec, and frequency differences of a small fraction of a half‐tone can be measured. The dynamic range of the registration of amplitude is ≈40 dB. A third trace on the recorder is a 50‐cps waveform used for time marking. The frequency and amplitude levels of the registration can be checked with a calibrator. This is a self‐stepping oscillator giving 7 tones, each of 1 sec duration and separated by whole‐tone intervals. Thus, it covers one octave and this can be chosen to start at 55, 110, ⋯ or 1760 cps. The amplitude calibration is logarithmical with manually chosen levels.
Study of Twenty‐Six Intervocalic Consonants as Spoken and Recognized by Four Language Groups39(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1909899View Description Hide Description
Twenty‐six intervocalic consonants were recorded by three speakers of each of four languages—Hindi, English, Arabic, and Japanese—and heard by 24 speakers of each of them. The data were treated in two ways. (1) An analysis of variance indicated that listening groups differed and that consonants were unequal in their intelligibility and showed statistically significant interactions between speakers and consonants, between listeners and consonants, and among consonants, listeners, and speakers. All speakers spoke better and all listeners listened better when saying and hearing sounds of their native language. (2) A quantitative procedure employed by Miller and Nicely was adapted to ascertain which features were retained by the listeners in their error responses and whether or not these were similar from one language group to another. All consonants were classified in a binary manner in relation to each of seven channels into which the voice communication network was subdivided. The unusual outcome lay in the ranks of the seven channels in terms of the extents to which they were correctly preserved in the responses. A single rank order in this regard was duplicated for all the listening groups: (1) nasality, (2) place, (3) liquid, (4) voicing, (5) duration, (6) friction, and (7) aspiration.

It doesn't Trash the comments... they all go to Spam queue.
I don't know what I missed.
It doesn't Trash the comments... they all go to Spam queue.
I don't know what I missed.
Have you changed preferences on the plugin settings page?
The default behaviour is for comments that don't pass the captcha to be left in the spam queue. Comments that pass are put in the moderation queue.
yes I did... I picked the option "Trash"
But I still get more than 50 spams per day, and nothing in the "Trash"
Do you have any other comment-related plugins installed? Can you post a link to your site?
I am supporting a blog right now and ran into the same issue. Akismet was running for a while, and the owner opened up old articles for comments, which increased the monthly SPAM load from about 500 to 11000 and counting. I found your plugin and thought it is just what we need. I tested it manually, and it works, but as the OP said, the posts marked as spam show up in the moderation queue with a note "flagged as spam by Akismet", even though I have configured it to trash the spam if the CAPTCHA is not solved correctly. The site is positiveparentingconnection.net. Any ideas? I can provide screen shots if that helps.No other comment-related plugins are installed.
UPDATE: Thanks for your test, just saw your test comment in the rash, where it was supposed to go. I think I found the error - in Settings/Discussion, there was a sitting to put any comment with 2 or more links into the moderation queue. Might this override the trash setting in your plugin? I turned it off now, waiting for the next SPAM bot to come by. Curiously, I wonder how the spam bots seem to get by reCAPTCHA.
madde, I have just posted a test comment on your site. Can you tell me where it ended up?
Hi Samir,
thanks for the quick reply. it did indeed go to the trash. I am wondering now how the actual spambots even get by reCAPTCHA. did they get that good?
It's unlikely that they're getting past recaptcha - most people using this plugin report that only 1 or 2 comments out of hundreds will pass the captcha (i.e., the rest are all spambots). If a large number is getting through, then something is wrong.
But unless we can reproduce the behaviour, it's difficult to work out what the problem might be... If you do find a way to reproduce it then please let me know.
I will wait an hour to see if anything else gets through. Is there a way to turn on some logging for Conditional CAPTCHA?
There is a counter that tells you how many comments the plugin has rejected - look for it on the WordPress dashboard, at the bottom of the "Right Now" section.
I did think about tagging all comments that pass a captcha (in the same way that Akismet tags all comments that it flagged as spam), but decided not to in the interest of keeping things lightweight. I don't want to clutter people's databases.
Hm, problem is still there, just got a nice valium SPAM in the pending queue:
Curiously, on the dashboard, it says:
86 spam comments have been automatically discarded by Conditional CAPTCHA.
So, it seems we are actually doing pretty well! Maybe the ones that get through are indeed posted by actual human beings?!
Sorry, nevermind, the 86 (now 87) were all the ones since yesterday that I manually cleaned out with the "check for spam" button. Just received a new one, again in the moderation queue, and the counter increased by 1 :(
Problem SOLVED.
It was, of course, user error. The Hashcash plugin was reactivated by the owner, and it seems to take precedence - meaning if it finds a hashcash error, it puts a comment into moderation, regardless of what Akismet or Conditional CAPTCHA say. So, folks, turn off that Hashcash plugin and Conditional CAPTCHA works brilliantly! :)
Thanks for your help, Samir, I truly appreciate it.
Yes... funny things can happen when you have more than one anti-spam plugin active at the same time. Glad it's working now.

Chronic overdosage with salicylates can produce a syndrome of chronic salicylate intoxication. The main features of this syndrome are confused, sometimes bizarre, behavior and hyperventilation. The measurement of serum salicylate and carbon dioxide provides reliable laboratory confirmation of the diagnosis and may prevent mistaking the condition for frank hysteria, diabetic coma, or other causes of organic delirium. Five patients are reported who suffered from various primary diseases but were hospitalized for complaints directly related to salicylate poisoning. In one patient, papilledema appeared to be the result of the salicylate intoxication.

The primary purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effects of synthetic parathyroid hormone 1-34 (PTH) replacement therapy on bone in adults with hypoparathyroidism. After a 1-7 month period of calcium and calcitriol therapy, eligible subjects will be taken off of calcitriol and treated with PTH for 5 years, given as twice daily injections. All study visits will be at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland for a total of 12 visits over a 5 ½ year period. Once PTH therapy has begun, follow-up inpatient or outpatient visits lasting from 2-10 days will be every 6 months. During the NIH visits participants will undergo several procedures, which may include blood tests, urine tests, x-rays, questionnaires, fitness tests, and removing a sample of bone from the hip (bone biopsy). Laboratory tests at local laboratories will be required in between NIH visits to monitor therapy. Transportation will be provided and there is no cost for participation or any tests performed at the NIH.

Would like to get the opinion of the LEO's out there.
I am a 40 yo male who is currently clearing the Army after 23 years.
What is your opinion of someone my age thinking about becoming an LEO?
I have a good background with weapons.
My legs may not be what they were, but I'm still strong (MHO).
I would like to thank everyone up front. I am looking at honest opinions, please tell me your thoughts.
Thank you

I was an LEO for 21 years and reired when I was 49. You don't have to worry about a thing. All agencies have rigorous physical tests you have to pass before they'll even consider you. Then you have even harder physical requirements to meet when you attend the academy. If you get past both these trials by fire you're good to go. Any physical shortcomings will be immediately obvious.

I know of 2 guys older then yourself who made the Sheriffs department. It is certainly worth a shot. I do not think either of them really passed the physical portion of the test, they both have bad (bad!) knees, but they continued to show improvement throughout the physical portions so were let through...
Go for it. What you will encounter will depend on where you go. Your weapons background won't be as important as your ability and willingness to study, particularly some of the drier statutes. Physical fitness standards vary widely by agency and state but there is generally some description available of what is expected. I went when I was older. My prior education helped me with the studying and I had kept in some shape so the physical fitness part was not bad. You may enjoy it and find that it is a concentrated period that goes by too quickly.
I think a mature individual with life experiences makes the best cop! If it is what you want to do, go for it.

You're still young. We've had retired military go thru our academy in their 50s. The oldest I recall was a retired LTC who was 54. 40 yr olds are not uncommon.
My Dad got his POST certification at age 52. His department gave him a plaque saying "WORLD'S OLDEST ROOKIE". He's now 75, retired twice, and still has that trophy on his wall.
Treat me good, I'll treat you better. Treat me bad, I'll treat you worse.
Do it. Buy your military time as soon as you are able, retire at a relatively young age and kick back. Weapons back round really doesn't mean squat, its a very small portion of the job. Find something else to sell yourself on, such as leadership or communications.

I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
The local Sheriff's dept. (Harris County, Houston, TX.) has no age limit for incoming applicants. I've known folks in their 50's joining. The physical requirements aren't that difficult. Your military experience will be a big plus for you. I think you should go for it.

I was a security specialist in the USAF back in the early 80's. After I did my 4 years I worked a lot of other jobs but stayed interested in LE. I got back in to it about 5 years ago at 41. Mine is kind of a niche job that is peculiar to Maine and Mass and I really enjoy it. I work on the coast and spend my time on the water, beaches, and mud.
If you really want to you can do anything you put your mind to. I say you should go for it. Also, remember that there's lots of LE jobs out there that are not necessarily "city cop" types of positions, such as mine. Look around and find something that suits you then give it your best shot.
And thanks for 23 years of watching our backs!!

Being older I welcome you.
Youth and bravado often gets your mouth writing checks your butt can't cash. Being older you hopefully will have some wisdom and life expirience to draw from and be able to think and reason.
I was 28 the first time. Quit after three years and went back to school. I went back to L.E., in a "specialty" in my 40's. I think I've found my niche, and I'm looking to stay until I retire after twenty. For me it's twenty and out.
Maybe after this run I'll go to Walmart and be a Greeter.
Except for a bad knee, that tends to want to pop out of joint if I pivot hard on that leg, I could probably pass my agency's physical agility test, at nearly 48 years of age. I could actually get a couple of bonus paid days off each year, if I passed the test, but I don't want to try it unless/until I a doc tells me the risk is very, very minimal. If I had to go on light duty, I would have to take a substantial pay cut.
As someone mentioned on the first page, Harris County in Texas has no age limitation, and from what a deputy told me, NO physical agility test at this time. That is for a civilian jailer, but you can move up fairly quickly to deputy, and once attaining deputy status, eligible for transfer to a street assignment.
One of the TV news magazines shows had a recent feature on folks entering law enforcement in their 40's and 50's; it is a trend now, either for folks laid off from the private sector, or folks in mid-life who want out of the private sector and want to contribute to society, or to be part of something bigger than themselves, and contribute to local history, rather than being a pawn in some company/corporation. Military guys retiring and getting into LE is not a new trend at all; it has long been common.
Give it a go and good luck. Maybe try to look for an agency that has more options than just patrol. A Sheriff's Office may have courthouse security positions as well as patrol so, if you want, you have an opportunity to get off the road.
On the Police side, I usually recommend that people get into a metro-type department that has multiple functions such as patrol, SWAT, training, homicide, robbery, narcotics, etc. A lot of options and opportunities make for a fun ride.
Training means learning the rules. Experience means learning the exceptions.
I have told the story elsewhere on this board. I received my national police instructor certification back in the 80's and worked as a trainer for several departments (always had another full time job). I semi-retired and moved back home to take care of my mom and dad, after they passed, I was asked by a couple of local officers to join the local PD reserve program…. That made me about 55 at the time. I and one gentleman who just turned 60 were in the certification class for part-time officers. We had the highest overall scores in the class. I was tied for the highest PT scores and posted the highest firearm scores in the class. My older friend was always in the top 50%. We were picked up by the same local department and are the two most called on officers when they need extra help.
I am the only reserve officer the department has, that has not had a complaint filed against him with more that has more than 3 years in-service. I won the county wide LEO shootout the first year I got to compete, and have been asked to go full time on more than once occasion. Age is not a restriction in a lot of places, it is your ability that counts, and your maturity can be highly valued. Smaller departments are always looking for a good officer.
I say go for it. Talk with several local departments, and see about joining the reserve program. In my department about 85% of the new hires come from their reserve program. The department really likes the program it gives them a year or so the watch you work with the different officers, and weeds any bad applicants who make it through the screening process.
