United States > Wyoming > Wyoming Vital Records
Introduction to Vital Records
Vital Records consist of births, adoptions, marriages, divorces, and deaths recorded on registers, certificates, and documents. United States Vital Records has additional research guidance on researching and using vital records. A copy or an extract of most original records can be purchased from the Wyoming Vital Records State Department of Health or the County Clerk's office of the county where the event occurred.
Wyoming Birth, Marriage and Death Records Online
The following is a list of online resources useful for locating Wyoming Vital Records which consist of births, adoptions, marriages, divorces, and deaths. Most online resources for Wyoming Vital Records are indexes. After locating a person in an index always consult the original record to confirm the information in the index.

Birth and Death Records
Statewide registration of births and deaths in Wyoming began in July 1909, and was generally complied with by 1922. Individuals who were born prior to 1909, or who for some reason did not have a birth certificate, could apply for a delayed birth certificate. The Wyoming Vital Records Services began keeping delayed birth certificates in the 1920s.
For copies of state birth and death records write to:
Vital Records Services
Hathaway Building
Cheyenne, WY 82002
Telephone: 307-777-7591
Fax: 307-635-4103
Internet: Wyoming Vital Statistics Services Program
The current fees for obtaining copies of the state's records are listed in Where to Write for Vital Records: Births, Deaths, Marriages, and Divorces. [1]Copies of this booklet are at the Family History Library and at many Family History Centers. You can also write to the Vital Records Services for current information.
Copies of the birth records can only be released to those named on the certificate unless you can provide proof of the person's death. You will also need to state your relationship to the individual and your purpose for obtaining the record.
The Family History Library has not acquired copies of the state birth and death records.
County Records of Births and Deaths
A few Wyoming counties kept records of births and deaths a few years prior to state registration. For information about pre-1909 birth and death records, write to the local county clerk. The records in the county courthouses are open to the public, but the Family History Library has not acquired copies of these records. The library has a few records, such as birth registers and coroner's reports, that have been transcribed and published. The county clerk does not usually keep copies of birth and death records filed after July 1909.
Adoption Records
open / closed / state statues
Marriage Records
Statewide registration of marriages began in May 1941. For information about marriage records kept after that date, write to the Vital Records Services. Copies of the records can be released only to the individuals named on the certificate, unless you provide proof of death. The Family History Library does not have copies of these records (see county recording of marriages).
County Records of Marriages
Many counties began recording marriages soon after the county was organized. Some county records begin as early as the 1860s, such as the Albany County marriage records that begin in 1869. The office of the county clerk for each county maintains the county marriage records from the earliest dates to the present. Most counties have indexed their marriage records, and the files are open to the public. Beginning in 1941, county clerks have sent duplicate copies of marriage records to the Vital Records Services.
The Family History Library has acquired copies of the marriage records for most of the Wyoming counties from the Wyoming State Archives. These copies generally date from the earliest entries to about 1930. For example, the library has Sheridan County marriage records (1888 to 1925) and marriage licenses (1888 to 1916).
Many early marriages are indexed on the Western States Marriage Index.
Eloping couples from Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Colorado went to Evanston, (Uinta County) Wyoming to be married. There was little or no paper or waiting period between the time of issuing a license and the performance of the marriage.
Divorce Records
Substitute Records
- Information listed on vital records is given by and informant. Learn the relationship of the informant to the subject(s) of the record. The closer the relationship of the informant to the subject(s) and whether or not the informant was present at the time of the event can help determine the accuracy of the information.
- If you are unable to locate vital records recorded by governments, search for church records of christening, marriage, death or burial. A family Bible may have been used to record births, marriages and deaths.
- Privacy laws may restrict your access to some vital records. Copies of some vital records recorded in the last 100 years may be unavailable to anyone except a direct relative.
- Search for Vital Records in the Family History Libray catalog by using a Place Search and then choosing Vital Records. Search for Wyoming to locate records filed by the State and then search the name of the county to locate records kept by the county.

Jonathan Cecil, described as having "one of the best-loved voices in audiobooks" by the P. G. Wodehouse Society, narrates this collection of brilliantly entertaining stories featuring Jeeves and Wooster, including: "Jeeves and the Impending Doom", "Jeeves and the Kid Clementina", "The Inferiority Complex of Old Sippy", "The Love That Purifies", "Jeeves and the Yule-Tide Spirit", "Jeeves and the Old School Chum", "Jeeves and the Song of Songs", "Indian Summer of an Uncle", "Episode of the Dog McIntosh", "The Ordeal of Young Tuppy", and "The Spot of Art."
© Copyright © the Trustees of the Wodehouse Estate. All rights reserved. (P)2012 AudioGo
Audible has changed my life! Dry , itchy eyes were destroying one of my greatest pleasures - reading. Now I am experiencing books again!
"Very, Very Good Jeeves"
P.G. Wodehouse is not for every mood. But, when you're in need of something truly, truly silly, funny, witty and outrageous, this author can't be beat. And this narrator does a wonderful job bringing Bertie, Jeeves, the Aunts, and all the twits to hilarious life. Good for a smile or a belly laugh, "Very Good, Jeeves" is good enough for me!
All Jeeves stories are pretty much the same, so I won't go into any detail about the various scrapes Bertie gets into. Suffice to say that Jonathan Cecil is my preferred delivery mechanism for this inimitably funny material.
"The very best Wodehouse narrator"
I have listened to 2 other Wodehouse narrators and Jonathon Cecil is the absolute best. He captures the humor somehow differently than the others and I, honestly, laughed out loud many times during "Very Good Jeeves." The others read it with the proper stuffiness, but he "gets" the humor. I am now searching for Cecil readings of Wodehouse rather than Wodehouse readings.
"Inside: Some of the Very Best Bertie/Jeeves Tales"
My candidates for Very Best: The Inferiority Complex of Old Sippy, Jeeves and the Yuletide Spirit, Jeeves and the Song of Songs, The Spot of Art, The Love that Purifies, and Jeeves and the Old School Chum.
Let's see...that's six out of a total of eleven stories. And the remaining five are almost as good.
The only downside is that I first heard Frederick Davidson read this collection. As good as Jonathan Cecil can be--see his rendition of Uncle Fred in the Springtime, Uncle Dynamite or The Code of the Woosters--he doesn't come up to the mark set (at least in my mind) by Davidson on this set of stories.
I bought this version because 1) it was on sale and 2) I have Davidson's version on cassette tape and needed something more portable. Cecil's performance is good but too rushed. As a rule, his versions of the same book are always an hour shorter than Davidson's, the reason being that Davidson uses that hour to squeeze every nuance of humor or irony out of very line. While I enjoyed the listen--it is, after all, Wodehouse--I was constantly being reminded of how much better a version I had on cassette tapes in the basement. If only that old Walkman still worked...
College English professor who loves classic literature, psychology, neurology and hates pop trash like Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey.
"Truly Wish I Had A New Jeeves Story Everyday..."
Wodehouse's wit and dry cleverness seem inexhaustible in these stories. There is a wry smile or a wonderful laugh in almost every minute. The best of British humor!
I am a fiber artist and teacher. I love moderate action, plot twists, diverse characters and much romance.
"Spot on narration"
Having always loved the Wooster and Jeeves BBC television adaptation, I thought, "Ho!" Why not give the audio book a try? It is even funnier because you get inside Wooster's rather addled head. The narration of this one was hysterical. My husband and I were listening on an airplane and pretty much had to stuff our fists in our mouths to avoid guffawing out loud repeatedly.
I just downloaded an earlier Wooster and Jeeves (My Man, Jeeves) and am not so far impressed with the narration. Hugh Laurie and Jonathan Cecil (narrator here) have apparently spoiled me.
All the stories are basically the same theme, so It's not like one really needs to listen to every single book, I suppose. Hence, I am off, forthwith, to check on more narrated by Jonathan Cecil.
"Great read"
when driving and sitting in traffic, this is a wonderful alternative to news...
The voices are terrific
Mr. Cecil does an exceptional job of reading...all the characters are so well done.
Jeeves to the rescue
"My 5th & 6th Graders loved it!"
We read the three stories which go with the A&E's Jeeves and Wooster
It's Wodehouse. What else do you want? It's very, very funny.
I think Wodehouse used them all.
Having read Wodehouse 30 years ago and having only a dim memory of my enjoyment of his Jeeves series, listening has made it one off the greatest and most pleasant entertainment options I have ever experienced. I will probably spend years re listening to these hilarious tales!
"I waited a long time for this title...thanks!"
Wonderful addition to my Wodehouse collection...I listen to it again and again and it always gives me a chuckle....of course in Jonathan Cicle that makes the story sparkle
Bertie is my type of man...sincere, takes orders well and is just a bit "dim"

Sponge cake
So we're still getting settled in the new house. We're about half unpacked, and still have to go back and clean and get one or two more loads from the old house tomorrow. I wish we were done and settled in! And life could go back to normal. My sister Dana is here visiting, and we had a fun day and ended it with pizza. I've already written about pizza a ton of times, but we whipped up this cake for dessert. It was just what I wanted, light and airy and soft. I did overcook mine by a few minutes because we might have been a little distracted watching 'Chopped', but it was delicious anyway. We served ours with caramel and chocolate sauces I had in the fridge, but it would be fine on its own, or with whipped cream, or whatever you have around. Maybe a fruit sauce. Go nuts.
From the Joy of Cooking, made gluten-free
zest from 1 lemon
1 c sugar
5 eggs, separated
1/4 c boiling water
1 T lemon juice
1 c rice flour mix
1/2 t xanthan gum
2 t baking powder
pinch salt
Preheat oven to 350. Mix zest and sugar, rubbing between your fingers so the zest releases a little of it's oils into the sugar and it's all good and lemony. Beat in the egg yolks, then slowly add the water, while stirring, then the lemon juice. Mix together the flour mix, xanthan gum, and baking powder, then stir into the yolk mix. Whip the whites until they hold stiff peaks (but aren't dry), then fold into the yolk mixture. Pour batter into a tube pan and bake 35-40 minutes, until lightly browned on the top. Mine got a little too dark, I'm still getting the hang of my oven. Invert pan as soon as you take the pan out of the oven and let cool completely, then remove from the pan onto a plate.

Zywicki Discusses Automaker Bailout on the Air
Professor Todd Zywicki was a guest on the nationally syndicated John Batchelor radio show, where he discussed key issues surrounding the government's bailout of General Motors and Chrysler, saying he believed the bailouts were unnecessary and that the automakers would ultimately be weaker than competitors because of the government's intervention.
Explaining that the purpose of bankruptcy was to determine whether a company was "worth more alive than dead," Zywicki explained that Chapter 11 bankruptcy typically allows a company that has been affected by bad decisions, poor management, or other problems, to reorganize and emerge from bankruptcy competitive again. But the government's entanglement in the auto bailouts created a hybrid form of Chapter 11/bailout that will probably leave the automakers worse off than they were before.
Zywicki challenged the legality of the automaker bailouts, saying that by diverting TARP funds intended for financial institutions to the automakers, the government ignored the limitations of TARP. Further, he cited a government disparity in treatment of secured creditors under the bankruptcies, saying Chrysler's unsecured creditors received a greater percentage per dollar than its secured creditors, while General Motors' secured creditors received preference in that corporation's bankruptcy. In addition, he said, auto dealerships slated for closure were in some cases kept open through the intervention of legislators with special interests.

A weapons-grade substance is one that is pure enough to be used to make a nuclear weapon or has properties that make it particularly suitable for nuclear weapons use. Plutonium and uranium in grades normally used in nuclear weapons are the most common examples. (These nuclear materials have other categorizations based on their purity.)
Only fissile isotopes of certain elements have the potential for use in nuclear weapons. For such use, the concentration of fissile isotopes uranium-235 and plutonium-239 in the element used must be sufficiently high. Uranium from natural sources is enriched by isotope separation, and plutonium is produced in a suitable nuclear reactor.
Experiments have been conducted with uranium-233. Neptunium-237 and some isotopes of americium might be usable, but it is not clear that this has ever been implemented.[6]
Substances for chemical and biological warfare may also be described as weapons-grade.
Countries that have produced weapons-grade nuclear material[edit]
This section needs to be updated. (December 2015) |
Relatively few countries (10) have produced weapons-grade nuclear material: China, France, India, Israel, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States.[citation needed]
Weapons-grade uranium[edit]
Natural uranium is made weapons-grade through isotopic enrichment. Initially only about 0.7% of it is fissile U-235, with the rest being almost entirely uranium-238 (U-238). They are separated by their differing masses. Highly enriched uranium is considered weapons-grade when it has been enriched to about 90% U-235[citation needed].
U-233 is produced from thorium-232 by neutron capture. The U-233 produced thus does not require enrichment and can be relatively easily chemically separated from residual Th-232. It is therefore regulated as a special nuclear material only by the total amount present. U-233 may be intentionally down-blended with U-238 to remove proliferation concerns.[7]
While U-233 would thus seem ideal for weaponization, a significant obstacle to that goal is the co-production of trace amounts of uranium-232 due to side-reactions. U-232 hazards, a result of its highly radioactive decay products such as thallium-208, are significant even at 5 parts per million. Implosion nuclear weapons require U-232 levels below 50 PPM (above which the U-233 is considered "low grade"; cf. "Standard weapon grade plutonium requires a Pu-240 content of no more than 6.5%." which is 65,000 PPM, and the analogous Pu-238 was produced in levels of 0.5% (5000 PPM) or less). Gun-type fission weapons would require low U-232 levels and low levels of light impurities on the order of 1 PPM.[8]
Weapons-grade plutonium[edit]
Pu-239 is produced artificially in nuclear reactors when a neutron is absorbed by U-238, forming U-239, which then decays in a rapid two-step process into Pu-239. It can then be separated from the uranium in a nuclear reprocessing plant.
Weapons-grade plutonium is defined as being predominantly Pu-239, typically about 93% Pu-239.[9] Pu-240 is produced when Pu-239 absorbs an additional neutron and fails to fission. Pu-240 and Pu-239 are not separated by reprocessing. Pu-240 has a high rate of spontaneous fission, which can cause a nuclear weapon to pre-detonate. This makes plutonium unsuitable for use in gun-type nuclear weapons. To reduce the concentration of Pu-240 in the plutonium produced, weapons program plutonium production reactors (e.g. B Reactor) irradiate the uranium for a far shorter time than is normal for a nuclear power reactor. More precisely, weapons-grade plutonium is obtained from uranium irradiated to a low burnup.
This represents a fundamental difference between these two types of reactor. In a nuclear power station, high burnup is desirable. Power stations such as the obsolete British Magnox and French UNGG reactors, which were designed to produce either electricity or weapons material, were operated at low power levels with frequent fuel changes using online refuelling to produce weapons-grade plutonium. Such operation is not possible with the light water reactors most commonly used to produce electric power. In these the reactor must be shut down and the pressure vessel disassembled to gain access to the irradiated fuel.
Plutonium recovered from LWR spent fuel, while not weapons grade, can be used to produce nuclear weapons at all levels of sophistication,[10] though in simple designs it may produce only a fizzle yield.[11] Weapons made with reactor-grade plutonium would require special cooling to keep them in storage and ready for use.[12] A 1962 test at the U.S. Nevada National Security Site (then known as the Nevada Proving Grounds) used non-weapons-grade plutonium produced in a Magnox reactor in the United Kingdom. The plutonium used was provided to the United States under the 1958 US-UK Mutual Defence Agreement. Its isotopic composition has not been disclosed, other than the description reactor grade and it has not been disclosed which definition was used in describing the material this way.[13] The plutonium was apparently sourced from the military Magnox reactors at Calder Hall or Chapelcross. The content of Pu-239 in material used for the 1962 test was not disclosed, but has been inferred to have been at least 85%, much higher than typical spent fuel from currently operating reactors.[14]
Occasionally, low-burnup spent fuel has been produced by a commercial LWR when an incident such as a fuel cladding failure has required early refuelling. If the period of irradiation has been sufficiently short, this spent fuel could be reprocessed to produce weapons grade plutonium.
- ^ Plus radium (element 88). While actually a sub-actinide, it immediately precedes actinium (89) and follows a three-element gap of instability after polonium (84) where no isotopes have half-lives of at least four years (the longest-lived isotope in the gap is radon-222 with a half life of less than four days). Radium's longest lived isotope, at 1,600 years, thus merits the element's inclusion here.

"The isotopic analyses disclosed a species of mass 248 in constant abundance in three samples analysed over a period of about 10 months. This was ascribed to an isomer of Bk248 with a half-life greater than 9 y. No growth of Cf248 was detected, and a lower limit for the β− half-life can be set at about 104 y. No alpha activity attributable to the new isomer has been detected; the alpha half-life is probably greater than 300 y." - ^ This is the heaviest isotope with a half-life of at least four years before the "Sea of Instability".

Alien crash site
Redirected from Alien Crash Site
this wiki
Hey, I thought you should know... Someone must've hit a button during the fight just now. If I understood the display correctly, I think we sort of launched a homing beacon of some kind down to the surface. Landed just outside DC. I wouldn't mention it, except that I think... Like I said, I'm not sure... I think it's a way to get back to earth.
"— Elliott TercorienThe alien crash site is an unmarked location in the base game (however, it becomes marked as Alien Homing Beacon with the Mothership Zeta add-on after the abduction) that contains the remains of an alien recon craft (Theta), which crashed through a house and came to rest in a cliff side. Next to the craft is a dead alien that cannot be interacted with or looted.
It is noteworthy both for its uniqueness and for the similarly unique loot found in the vicinity. It is also the source of one of the Capital Wasteland's radio signals, known as the Recon craft Theta signal.
Roughly twenty meters behind the house lies the wrecked recon craft. It is badly damaged and leaking an unspecified radioactive liquid (giving about 4 rad/sec). The only point of interest is at the front of the ship, the side opposite the ruined house. If the player is at the MDPL-13 power station south of the crash site, it can be found by following the power cables north until you come across the alien distress beacon. The signal is called the "Recon Craft Theta Signal" on the player's Pip-Boy 3000. The player can follow this to the site as it gets louder and clearer as one gets closer, and they will start to become irradiated. At the front of the ship, the cockpit dome is shattered. The pilot's body lies outside against a pile of rocks with the powerful alien blaster in his hand. About 120 alien power cells are scattered around. The trail from the house to the ship is full of debris from the crash, most of which cannot be picked up or moved.
After completion of the Mothership Zeta add-on, an alien homing beacon takes the place of the crashed craft, allowing the player to teleport to Mothership Zeta and back at will. It will also have a map marker for easy fast travel.
Notable lootEdit
- With the addition of the Mothership Zeta add-on, the player is transported before the alien blaster can be retrieved. After completion of the add-on, the alien blaster and ammunition will still be on the surface even though the ship is back on the Mothership. If the alien blaster and alien power cells are not visible, they can be accessed via the tcl console command on PC or by using Dogmeat to obtain the blaster and power cells.
- The pilot has some properties when picked up, as the game treats his body as an object, not as a non-player character corpse. First, he is weightless when picked up, and will sometimes even hover perfectly horizontally when picked up. Also, the pilot rotates and flips in a circular pattern when picked up by the head, exactly like the Chinese stealth armor when picked up by the helmet. Also, if one picks up the dead alien and drags him around, his head disappears.
- If you do not have the Mothership Zeta add-on installed, then the Recon Craft Theta distress signal will not be picked up by your Pip-Boy unless you are close to the crash site. If Mothership Zeta is installed, however, your Pip-Boy can pick up the signal anywhere in the Capital Wasteland and as far away as The Pitt.
- Upon completing Mothership Zeta, the "Recon Craft Theta" signal disappears. This is because the mothership Zeta recovered the ship transmitting it. The recon craft can be seen as it is lifted into the Hangar bay.
- If you use console commands to get under the ship there will be a radio. If you engage conversation with the radio it will just say "Hello there".
- If the alien is moved from the vicinity of the crash site it will respawn back there in 3 game days.
- After completing Mothership Zeta the Recon Craft turns to a location called Alien Homing Beacon so you can go back and from Mothership Zeta to get weapons, ammo, food, etc.
- If you encounter human enemies near the crash site, one of them may pick up the Alien Blaster. You can get the blaster by looting its corpse.
- There is a terminal in the Citadel that refers to the crash.
- If the player has Dogmeat, they must be away from the ship, but make sure to have a good view of it. Dogmeat can be sent to find weapons and ammo that are inside the alien ship.
The alien crash site appears only in Fallout 3.

We also Provide:A: High Pressure Pascalization uses high pressure instead of heat to inhibit microflora growth in fresh food and therefore naturally extend its shelf life. Unlike pasteurization, pascalization is an external process; the raw product itself is never touched. After the products are in their final packaging, our pressurizing method uses only evenly distributed pressure of cool water (44°F) to short circuit any potential harmful invaders, such as Listeria, E. coli, Salmonella, lactic acid bacteria, yeast and mold. Pressure drastically reduces overall microbiological contaminant flora and pathogens, eliminating the possibility of recontamination. Because of the chilled temperature at which the juice is treated, plus the minimal impact that pressure has on the structure of the components responsible for nutrition and flavor, the juice remains raw and the taste remains the same. "Heat" or "flash" pasteurization, or other silly adjectives such as "lovingly" or "gently" pasteurized, results in juice that is essentially cooked, which kills vitamins, minerals, and live enzymes. We do not now, nor ever will we ever, apply heat to our cold pressed juice. We don't cook juice.
Q: Does pressure destroy vitamins, enzymes or nutrients?A: Because there is so much inconclusive information regarding enzyme activity floating around, we felt the only way to know for certain was to have our juice tested directly. We tested for enzymatic activity in our juice both before and after HPP was applied—the lab result came back: "NO DIFFERENCE." There is and will continue to be conflicting research on the broader topic of enzyme activity in food after HPP is applied. There are many variables involved, such as the level of pressure applied, the length of time the juice is pressurized, and more importantly, the many different types of enzymes that exist. For our purposes, we identified the specific ones we feel are most critical to our juice, and the test results came back positive for activity. Regardless of when purchased or received, we recommend drinking the juice as quickly as possible to maximize nutritional benefits...because the reality is that all enzymes and nutrients slowly deteriorate. Drink soon.

Danish teen wins FIFA 14 virtual Cup
RIO DE JANEIRO -- A Danish teenager has claimed the virtual World Cup by beating his English rival in the final of the online PlayStation gaming competition, overcoming a field of almost 2 million entrants.
While his nation did not make it to the real World Cup, 18-year-old August Rosenmeier did his bit for Danish pride by beating England's David Bytheway 3-1 on Thursday to win the FIFA Interactive World Cup (FIWC).
The FIWC, played exclusively with EA Sports' FIFA 14 game and on a Sony PlayStation 3, has grown from 28,000 entrants in the inaugural tournament in 2004.
Rosenmeier, who said he "trains" four to six hours a day, won $20,000.
Far from the image of gamers being glued to screens in darkened rooms, Thursday's final had a glamorous setting, halfway up the Sugarloaf Mountain, one of Rio's most iconic tourist destinations.
Former players Dwight Yorke and Alan McInally were on hand as commentators, but the biggest attraction was former Brazil great Ronaldo, who gave the two finalists a prematch pep talk.
Qualification for the final started in October 2013 for the first of six one-month-long seasons played online, with competitors playing up to 900 12-minute games per season to accumulate as many points as possible. For those with less time on their hands, there was also a chance to progress based on the best winning percentage.
With the 2013 champion guaranteed a chance to defend his crown and the host nation given a slot, 20 gamers made it to Fluminese's home ground in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday.
The first shock came quickly as Bruce Grannec, the FIFA 14 ranked world No. 1 and defending champion, lost in the group stages. The lone Brazilian, Rafael Fortes, won all his group games, but lost in the quarterfinals. His countrymen hope that isn't a premonition for the real World Cup.
Four made it through to Thursday's showdown at Sugarloaf, and both remaining Dutchmen went out in the semifinals. The finalists were marked by very different approaches to virtual football.
"With FIFA [14] it's not the amount of hours you put in but who you play," Bytheway said. "I tend to play about five-eight games a week -- not a lot -- but because I am playing top players it keeps me at the top of my game. The 20 of us here, we all know each other, so we can just ask each other for games."
Rosenmeier's approach was more about quantity than quality.
"When I am training, like for this tournament, I will play many hours, maybe four or six per day. In 2012 my mum and dad were like 'This is too much' but after seeing what a finals is like, they shut [up] pretty quick."
For Rosenmeier, online glory may be rewarding, but he is still hoping to make it in the real thing.
"If I am honest, I prefer real football," said Rosenmeier, who plays for a local club in Denmark. "I am ambitious and I hope I can take some of my mental strengths here into the real game. Maybe if I am really lucky it will be me saying hello to the winner of FWIC 2015."

"The cautious murderer, in his anxiety to make himself secure, does too much; and it is this excess of precaution that leads to detection. It happens constantly; indeed I may say that it always happens -- in those murders that are detected; of those that are not, we say nothing..."- Dr. John Thorndyke (The Eye of Osiris, 1912).

Crrok is also a descendant of Perry Mason and Randolph Mason, both shifty lawyer/detectives who subvert the law for their own ends.
You might want to track down her earliest books which feature Scott Egerton, a completely different detective, who she abandoned in favor of Crook. You could do a comparison/contrast to see if she changed her style. When I'm home later I'll send you a list of the locked room mysteries she wrote.I have one Scott Egerton novel, The Body on the Beam, which I will tackle before this month draws to a close and the contrast is a good idea.
I'm looking forward to your list of her locked room mysteries. I think I have already track down one of them, Death at the Door, which should arrive here tomorrow.I'm sorry to report that my usual resource Adey's Locked Room Murders lists only one locked room title by Anthony Gilbert: DEATH KNOCKS THREE TIMES. It's an Arthur Crook book from 1949 (or 1950 in the US edition). I have four of the Scott Egerton books, but have not read any of them (surprise!) so I can't tell you if there might be an undiscovered locked room among them.
ReplyDeleteWell, thanks for taking the time to look her up and I'll most likely end up placing an order for Death Knocks Three Times before the end of this month.
Death at the Door was teased as a locked room mystery, though, in both of the Arthur Crook books I have reviewed here:
"A man with a broken neck at the bottom of a quarry, another man found dead behind the locked door of a church—it was up to Arthur Crook to uncover the sinister link between these two murders more than twenty year apart."
Is it possible that Robert Adey missed this one (like he did with Kelley Roos' Sailor, Take Warning!)?
Anyway, as soon as I have finished my current read, which is excellent up to this point, I will tackle this book and find out for myself.Adey and his colleagues missed a lot. I think it's near impossible to have a "definitive" bibliography of the locked room mystery - even if you limit yourself to books published prior to 1960. The revised edition which I own had no publication date limit and it misses a lot from the 1970s and 1980s. I have a small list of books that are pre-1950 not listed and of course they are by obscure authors with small outputs.

The man who had reserve role in the New York Knicks 1973 NBA championship team is now in charge of running the storied but recently beleaguered franchise.
Phil Jackson will join the Knicks as the leader of their front office, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports. The person requested anonymity because the agreement has not been made official, but the Knicks have scheduled a news conference Tuesday for a major announcement.
Jackson, one of the NBA's most successful coaches, has no front-office experience, but wanted back in the league in some capacity and ruled out a return to the bench because of health issues.
SAVIOR: How Phil can turn around Knicks
WON'T WORK: Phil-Knicks could go wrong
He played 12 seasons in the NBA — 11 of them with the Knicks. He averaged 8.1 points and 4.3 rebounds a game in the Knicks' 1972-73 championship season — the last time the franchise won a title. He then had his best year the following season, averaging 11.1 points and 5.8 rebounds a game.
New York and the Knicks are special to Jackson, and now he has a chance to lead the franchise back to respectability and potentially a championship.
If that happened, he would be revered in the three largest cities in the U.S.: Chicago (where he won six championships as the Bulls' coach in the 1990s), Los Angeles (five titles as the Lakers' coach in the 2000s) and New York.
"I would want him to view me as a coach,'' Knicks coach Mike Woodson said on ESPN radio after the announcement was made. "If and when that time comes, I would just love the chance to sit with him and talk basketball. He's a basketball guy, I'm a basketball guy. This is 30 years I've spent in this league, so that's what we'll do, but until that happens, my focus is strictly on trying to get this team in the playoffs. That's it.''
Woodson has come under fire since the Knicks, who were second in the Eastern Conference standings last season, have slipped to just outside the playoff race this season.
LAKERS: Kobe, Magic wanted Phil back
PHIL Q&A: His thoughts on future, more
But the transformation from mediocrity to title contender won't happen overnight. Jackson faces several issues, starting with All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony who can become a free agent this summer.
Even if Anthony chooses to re-sign, the Knicks will be stuck in a salary-cap predicament in 2014-15. With Anthony ($20 million-plus), Amar'e Stoudemire ($23.4 million), Tyson Chandler ($14.5 million) and Andrea Bargnani ($11.5 million) on the books, New York will be limited in free agency this summer.
Minus major deals, the core players will be the same next season as this season, and the Knicks aren't even in playoff position in the sad Eastern Conference. These are roster problems that won't be solved easily.
GALLERY: Phil Jackson, from short-shorts to Shaq
There are other issues, too, starting with how deep Jackson wants to dive into this project. How hands on will he be? With travel not high on his list, will he go to Europe, college arenas and scouting combines to evaluate players? There is a significant amount of dirty work that goes into running a pro basketball team. Jackson is also tasked with building a front-office staff and possibly hiring a coach, if he decides to let Woodson go.
Also, how will Jackson mitigate owner James Dolan's meddling and odd Madison Square Garden rules, such as limited time spent talking to news reporters.
It's a challenge, the kind Jackson embraces.
Jackson made his name in coaching. He is regarded as one of the best basketball coaches in history. He has the highest regular-season (.704) and postseason (.688) winning percentages and has won more titles (11) than any other coach.
Jackson led the Bulls to three consecutive titles in 1991, 1992 and 1993 and 1996, 1997 and 1998. He coached the Lakers to three straight titles in 2000, 2001 and 2002 and two more in 2009 and 2010.
He also lost in the Finals in 2004 and 2008.
Even with all that success, he was named coach of the year just once — in 1995-96, when his Bulls set the still-standing mark for best regular-season record at 72-10, then went 15-3 in the playoffs.
Though he didn't invent the triangle offense, he pioneered the use of it on a widespread basis, and while teams have used versions of it, no team has been able to run that offense as effectively as any of Jackson's teams.
Of course, few coaches have had the caliber of players that Jackson did, starting with Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen with the Bulls and Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal and Pau Gasol with the Lakers.
VIDEO: Not long ago, Phil wasn't interested in Knicks
Hear what Jackson thought of Carmelo Anthony and the Knicks when he admitted to Andrea Kremer that they hadn't approached him about their coaching vacancy.

text: Do Chinese Officials Realize The Potential Dangers Of Having Specialized Parking Spots For Women?Kristen Lee1/08/17 9:00amFiled to: ChinaParkingWTF1605EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkScreengrab via News163Maybe it was a move that started out with the best of intentions. I'd like to believe that, anyway. But this Chinese city's attempt at helping women park more easily by giving them larger parking spaces doesn't come off as anything but ridiculously patronizing and possibly dangerous.AdvertisementTo begin, via a very bad Google translate, Chinese news outlet News163 reports that Shenyang City has set up 10 parking spots designated for female drivers. They are both wider and longer than normal. You can also tell them apart from the regular spaces because they are pink and labeled "goddess parking spot."Screengrab via News163The city means it, too. Car News China reports that the fees are the same for the female parking spots and that they are watched so that men don't use them.AdvertisementIt also appears that Carscoops sees no apparent issue with this system, as it writes:Besides the obvious role of helping women park their cars with ease, the widened lots will also go easier on their rims, as local authorities have often received complaints that due to the regular 'tiny' spaces, women kept hitting the curbs with their wheels. Again, clearly being as helpful as it can, the website also provides a couple of links to its previous stories of Asian women (not just Chinese) parking lot mishaps as examples in order to, you know, really drive the point home.I trust that you will already know why this is insipid, but here's another thing to consider: this easily marks out a car driven by a woman. It could potentially raise the risk of the woman being followed or assaulted because the attacker would already know which car to target.SponsoredIt doesn't sound like men are sometimes allowed to park in these spaces if they are vacant or something, it sounds like these are specially reserved for women. That makes it extremely easy for someone with ill intent to wait by the pink parking spot for a woman to come along.It's a similar concern that some had over New Jersey's Kyleigh's Law, which requires teenaged drivers to display a small red decal on the license plates of their cars. Some argued that the law made teens targets for sexual predators or stalkers.AdvertisementSo, even with the misguided, offensive good intent, perhaps it's time to take this one back to the drawing board?

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Santifithay Early OriginsThe surname Santifithay was first found in Shropshire at Sandford, where Thomas de Saundford, one of the "companions in arms" of William I was given lands, for his assistance. He is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. "Richard de Sanford was certainly seated at Sandford soon after the Conquest, and which has ever since remained their principal seat." [1]CITATION[CLOSE] Shirley, Evelyn Philip, The Noble and Gentle Men of England; The Arms and Descents. Westminster: John Bower Nichols and Sons, 1866, Print. Sandford Hall, near Whitchurch survives today. This county house is thought to have been built between 1700 and 1750 and at the time of writing is up for sale. Thorpe-Salvin in the West Riding of Yorkshire was home to a branch of the family. " It was anciently the property of the Salvin family, and subsequently of the Sandfords, by whom the now ruined Hall was erected about the middle of the 16th century." [2]CITATION[CLOSE] Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print. Santifithay Spelling VariationsSantifithay Spelling VariationsMultitudes of spelling variations are a hallmark of Anglo Norman names. Most of these names evolved in the 11th and 12th century, in the time after the Normans introduced their own Norman French language into a country where Old and Middle English had no spelling rules and the languages of the court were French and Latin. To make matters worse, medieval scribes spelled words according to sound, so names frequently appeared differently in the various documents in which they were recorded. The name was spelled Sandford, Sandiford, Samford, Sanford and others. Santifithay Early HistorySantifithay Early HistoryThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Santifithay research.

Another 35 words (2 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationBecause of this political and religious unrest within English society, many people decided to immigrate to the colonies. Families left for Ireland, North America, and Australia in enormous numbers, traveling at high cost in extremely inhospitable conditions. The New World in particular was a desirable destination, but the long voyage caused many to arrive sick and starving. Those who made it, though, were welcomed by opportunities far greater than they had known at home in England. Many of these families went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Santifithay or a variant listed above: Thomas Sandford, who arrived in Virginia in 1619; Thomas Sandford of Bristol, who arrived in Barbados around 1629, where he became a most prominent and wealthy plantation owner. MottoMottoThe motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Nec temere nec timide Motto Translation: Neither rashly nor timidly. Santifithay Family Crest ProductsSantifithay Family Crest ProductsSee AlsoSee AlsoCitationsCitations

I can answer for Delmarva and in some ways Delmarva is a lot like new jersey...the north sections face ENE, south section face more SE..
Its makes a lot of difference where you are forecasting for...on the delmarva the further south you go the more a SW swell gets in. In Delaware which faces ENE 180-190 will not show, in south ocean city which faces SE 180-190 will wrap in with a loss of height but still break ok.
Swell period matters a LOT. The longer the period with more the swell will bend in even if its steeply angled from the S. All steeply angled swell is basically wind swell but 8-9 second wind swell can bends in better than 7 second swell. Jetties tend to help these swells a lot by focusing a weak angled swell into peak.

The place to be....for the Characters, Places & Things on Television
Blueberries - Food aversion held by Wade Swoboda (Casey Sander) Grace Kelly's next-door neighbor on the situation comedy GRACE UNDER FIRE/ABC/1993-98
Once, Wade recalled that he had a few things he didn't like. They included wet feet, bicycles, and blueberries. His reasons?
He hated wet feet because he spent a lot of time walking through rice paddies and swamps during his tour of duty in Vietnam and very rarely had dry feet.
He hated bicycles because a Vietnamese riding a bicycle tossed a bomb into a building and killed his army buddies.
As for the blueberries, Wade had an Aunt Flo who canned blueberries every year and forced him to eat the bounty of her harvest when he was a kid. "Not all my drama comes out of South East Asia," he confided to Grace.

Autumn is finally here, each morning the spiders webs are glistening beautifully with icy dew and it's the time of year when we get out our warmest coats and think about the forthcoming winter. For our family Halloween marks the end of our Autumn and its one of my favourite times of the year.
Each year we try to spend Halloween camping, that way the children get to experience the magic of spooky or magical stories by torchlight or campfire. I'd thoroughly recommend this as it's the last chance in the year for some camping. The nights are not yet bitterly cold and you can manage with a thick sleeping bag, we always have a memorable time. Some years we have camped in the garden at home, other years at our favourite campsite in North Norfolk.
The last couple of years in the quiet darkness of our tent we have been reading extracts from Harry Potter, however this year I'm going to read them Hansel and Gretel by the Brothers Grimm. You can't go wrong with a classic fairy-tale. I'm really excited about this because we are going to spend a day of our half term holiday making a Gingerbread House, like in the story, so we can eat it in the dark whilst we worry about witches in the wood!
Nights in a tent at this time of year can be quite long, so you have plenty of time for reading books and I will be taking some other ones with us including Emma Chichester Clark's new version of Alice Through the Looking Glass. If you want some ideas for books then check out this post which I wrote last month and don't forget to look out for free HarperCollins books on special Yeo Valley packs. I'm hoping that now the children are older they will use some of these stories as springboards for some campfire storytelling. I just hope their stories aren't too spooky!
If you would like to read some more about what we are doing please pop over to the Yeo Valley bog where you can find out all about our costumes I do hope you enjoy the blog: https://www.yeovalley.co.uk/2013/10/halloween-fancy-dress-tricks-and-treats-and-some-spooky-tales
Disclaimer: I'm proud to be a Yeo Valley brand ambassador its a lovely family run company with values which I strongly agree with. This post was written for them.

History belongs to those who make it. So if this artifact is your family's. It belongs to you.
*Do you think looting crypts, ruins, and dungeons is stealing or more like Indiana Jones? Why?
*Cue Music* *Cue Boulder Chase*
*A group of 3 Orcs have raided and captured a group of travelers. One of the hostages is rumored to be one of the King of Absalom children. How would you go about rescuing the hostages and making sure the King's child is not harmed.
Get a distraction, I mean ally to go in front and try to negotiate. In anticipation of that breaking down sneak in and sneak the hostage out.
I was hoping to run a Ninja, but if that's off limits a Rogue works just fine for my goals.

I have the following people set up with rolld20.net characters and journals:
I saw several of you have joined the game but I do not know real name to character name. If you are not on the list could you please PM me your real name and who your character is so I can get tokens assigned and journals ready for you.
Thank you
Vonzara |
Unless I get anymore applications we will have 7 people in our game.
If possible when you create your character alias for the gameplay and discussion thread please put your backstory in the about section for your character. This will help me as I can go back and re-read.
If you would like you can also copy your character sheet over in the about section as well. If you look at my alias Georgette you will see that I have all of the important stuff listed and her stats as well. This comes in handy during pbp stuff as I can open up my character in a different tab (or window in the case of my phone) and not have to worry about the character sheet so much.
These are just my thoughts and suggestions for making game play go smoothly. You can totally tell me to STFU and I'm fine with that.

Sloth's answers
I respectfully ask them for proof that the artifact is in fact theirs. I investigate and research the objects origins, and look into how the museum acquired the artifact. If in fact there is truth in the families' claim I contact the society and head over to the museum with assistance from the society and ask them to return the artifact and then offer donate half of the gold to them to go to the museum. If the families claim is false I return to them inform them of that and tell them the artifact is better suited to be viewed by the public so all my learn of its history and importance.
*Do you think looting crypts, ruins, and dungeons is stealing or more like Indiana Jones? Why?
It is our benefit to retrieve artifacts and treasures. History and lore give us insight and allow us to expand our thinking and apply the funds and items to future adventures.
*A group of 3 Orcs have raided and captured a group of travelers. One of the hostages is rumored to be one of the King of Absalom children. How would you go about rescuing the hostages and making sure the King's child is not harmed.
I would infiltrate the orc's location thru stealthy (stealth or reduce person). Then I would set off some kind of distraction/explosion to draw the orcs together and away. Then hit them with thunderstones and stink bombs to leave them deafened and sickened. Next toss some smoke sticks around the hostages free them and make our covered get away.

Currently our daring adventurers are chasing a lead and an NPC who wants 2 children dead. They have found several maps that may lead them to the leader of the cult. A magical orb containing a fish reviled a map of The Isle of Krotos (where Abaslom is located) with a red marking in the mountains indicating a place called home. The other maps that have been found also have marking in the mountains labeled home as well. A note was found in a raid on an estate which may tell the exact location of the cult leader.
We are looking for a skill monkey of some type, preferably a rogue or rogue hybrid. Currently there is a Human Ranger, Human Fighter, Half-Orc Oracle of Battle, Half-Elf Synthesist Summoner, and Half-Elf Cleric Sorcerer.
Here are the build requirements:

These days, a union protest or picket that doesn't include a 16-foot inflatable rat, well, just isn't really a protest. Expect to see more of them after the Board's decision yesterday in Brandon Regional Medical Center (pdf). (For an enormous compilation of rat photos, see this link). The Board held that the ubiquitous rat may be used not only to protest at a site of the employer with whom the union has a labor dispute, but also at those of "secondary" employers who do business with the primary employer.
In this case, the union had a dispute with Massey Metals and its temp firm WTS, which was providing nonunion employees to do sheet metal work at the Brandon Regional Medical Center, where Massey was constructing an addition. The union inflated the rat and positioned it 100 feet from the front door of the hospital, and union members handed out leaflets. One union member stood near the hospital's vehicle entrance and held out the leaflet with both hands to show visitors driving in and out of the hospital parking lot.
Section 8(b)(4)(ii)(B) of the Act prohibits unions from "threatening, coercing, or restraining" employers who do business with a primary employer when the object of the activity is either to coerce the secondary employer to stop doing business with the primary, or to force the primary to recognize the union.
Relying entirely on last year's decision in Carpenters Local 1506 (Eliason & Knuth of Arizona, Inc.), which had held that the use of stationary banners at a secondary employer did not violate the Act, the Board held that the rat and outstretched leaflet were permissible because they were merely "persuasive" and not "intimidating."
In dissent, Member Hayes found the use of the rat ("a well-known symbol of labor unrest") to be inherently coercive, and its use tantamount to picketing. The union member holding out the leaflet, Member Hayes reasoned, was not handbilling; he was effectively wearing a placard, long held to be the equivalent of a picket sign.
The Board's decision is notable not only for its conclusion, which will undoubtedly spark greater activity and greater burdens for employers who have no labor dispute, but also for its heavy, almost single-minded reliance on its own 2010 decision and apparent lack of interest in finding support for its conclusions in older cases.

Just to warn you, this site will be on /. very shortly. Prepare for the flames that are sure to follow. Too bad the place will likely suck for a couple days, as I think this site might be a good idea.
Let's go on holiday while all Linux fans come over from /. to bash MS
Linux fans make constructive criticisms, raise valid points and intelligent comments but never bash
Except perhaps /bin/bash -
Well we shall see what they have to say, not all criticism is bad criticism.
I cant comment for the rest of the slashdotters, but I think its time Microsoft started listening to the developers.
