Flow Separation of Airfoil in terms of Reynolds Number |

Flow Separation of Airfoil in terms of Reynolds Number
The different sized wakes in different fluids may be attributed to differences in viscosity, though I cannot be certain unless you provide the name/link to the paper. In general, a higher viscosity in the flow will correspond to higher diffusion rates and a quicker dissipation of the wake. Again, this goes back to the debate on how turbulence levels affect the flow/separation. If there is a specific concept or question that you have regarding the papers you have read feel free to ask.
Jun27-12, 02:21 PM | #19 |
As long as the Reynolds numbers are the same, the fluid shouldn't matter for the size of the wake so long as it is incompressible regardless of the viscosity. If the viscosity is higher for one, just increase the speed or size of the model a little bit. |
Jun27-12, 03:05 PM | #20 |
Actually you made me realize that if the viscosities are the same and the reynolds numbers are constant then differences in mach number may affect the wake. However neither of us have the paper to make a firm statement.
Jun27-12, 04:11 PM | #21 |
I was actually not referring to a paper, but this video: http://vimeo.com/7507698 An experiment was done for two objects (one streamlined, one spherical) traveling in air(around 15:00) and glycerin (around 19:00). The streamlined object traveled slower than the spherical in glycerin for the same drag force applied (also I could not see the wake for either object) which wasn't the case when air was used. Speed was decreased and viscosity increased in the glycerin, so the Re must be extremely low. From pictures of separation in air for a sphere, I can see that there's usually quite a large wake. I'm not sure if separation was actually occurring at the same location but the glycerin simply dissipated the effects or something else altogether. Thanks very much |
Jun27-12, 05:28 PM | #22 |
Given the speeds and Reynolds numbers involved, that teardrop shape is certainly not separated at all and I would actually contend that even the sphere likely is not separated, as it appears that the experiment satisfies the requirements for Stokes flow. It has no wake and therefore effectively has only viscous drag. As a result, you have one shape with small surface area and one with large surface area, both dominated by viscous drag. Of course the one with large surface area (the teardrop) will move more slowly. In the air, the Reynolds number is going to be much, much larger and while the teardrop will still be dominated by viscous drag, the sphere will be dominated by pressure drag. In these situations, pressure drag is dominant and so the sphere had higher drag in the air flow.
At the kind of low Reynolds numbers ([itex]\mathrm{Re} \ll 1[/itex]) seen in the glycerine experiment, there certainly is an effect due to Reynolds number. You have to remember what the Reynolds number represents. Recall the definition [tex]\mathrm{Re} = \frac{\rho U_{\infty} D}{\mu}[/tex] The number represents a ratio of the inertial forces due to the fluid motion to the viscous forces. For the extremely low Reynolds number, the viscous forces are dominant. For most practical flows such as on cars, planes, etc., the Reynolds number typically falls more within the range [itex]10^3 \leq \mathrm{Re} \leq 10^7[/itex]. Anywhere in that range, the inertial forces are many orders of magnitude more important than viscous forces. The behavior when [itex]\mathrm{Re} \ll 1[/itex] and [itex]10^3 \leq \mathrm{Re} \leq 10^7[/itex] are fundamentally different in essentially all regards. However, within one range or the other, the fluid behaves fundamentally the same regardless of where you fall in that range. |

Last night I happened to be looking through my aircraft design book and came across an excerpt that is very pertinent to the discussion of this thread. The Book is "Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach 4th Edition" from page 306, the paragraphs (truncated) read:
And one more thing I wanted to ask/add with regards to the notion that a fluid behaves essentially the same when E3≤Re≤E7: |
Jun28-12, 04:37 PM | #24 |
Otherwise, there is no generic Reynolds number where the flow is assumed laminar or turbulent. The problem is extraordinarily more complicated than that. We don't even have a general model for the transition location on a zero-pressure-gradient flat plate at zero angle of attack as a function of Reynolds number, let alone an airfoil. |
Jul2-12, 05:06 PM | #25 |
Sorry for the late response, it was a busy weekend. Anyway, when I was speaking about the Reynolds number ranges I was coming from a historical perspective. Many papers cite those ranges typical to the aircraft mentioned above.
I cant say I know much about Görtler vortices or a lot of details about turbulence/turbulence modeling as I have not taken any classes on the material yet. However, in lieu of these facts I will proceed to read some more papers on the subject. |
Jul2-12, 06:29 PM | #26 |
If you truly are interested in the subject though, then here are the three sources I mentioned. http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc...f&AD=ADA147243 (Mack 1984, ch. 3 is on linear stability theory, long read) http://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs....101101.161045 (Saric 2003) http://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs....010194.002115 (Saric 1994) |
Jul10-12, 02:28 PM | #27 |
Thanks ill look into those. One thing im really interested in is a statistical mechanical description of fluid flow and turbulence.
Jul10-12, 03:24 PM | #28 |
Ha. Can't help you there. I am not personally a fan of the statistical approach to fluid mechanics (turbulence modeling, etc.). Count me among the camp that believes that if we had powerful and accurate enough computers, it would be a form of spatio-temporal chaos: crazy but still deterministic.
It's certainly a useful field, but not my thing. |
Aug2-12, 12:32 AM | #29 |
My apologies for the late response. So essentially flow separation location would be the same in whatever range is considered (i.e. for Re between 10 and 100 it wouldn't change, but would be different than Re 10^3 to 10^7)? So for the same "level of turbulence", I can have Re at whatever I want without affecting the separation location? Lastly, I'm wondering how come Cf and Cp varies with Re if the size of the wake is unchanged? Thanks very much |
Aug2-12, 11:42 AM | #30 |
Boneh3ad mentioned that the flows in this range are fundamentally the same which is true. They are both dominated by inertial forces but that does not mean the details of the flow are the same. |
Aug8-12, 09:07 PM | #31 |
Am I correct in saying that one can see separation point changing with Re in real life but such an effect is not due to the change in Re but other changes that are typically associated with flows as Re increases (assuming flow is in the laminar region), thus there is actually no theoretical relationship but only a correlative effect? Also, in the instance you described, is there a "typical" direction in which flow separation point moves? Thanks very much |
Oct22-12, 03:14 AM | #32 |
Hey guys I have a questions on the Reynolds number and you seem to be pros on the subject could you help me out.

I've got a tough decision to make: keep my baby or pull the trigger on the new one. It's primarily an economic decision. To test the waters, if you were seriously in the market for a used Prius now, how much would you be willing to pay to a private seller? The specs: Seaside Pearl Package 2 (SKS, Homelink mirror [trying to remember what else, but I think that's it]) 56K miles Excellent condition, extremely clean Well-maintained; all records available Michelin Hydroedges with ~30K miles, plenty of tread left Add-on accessories: Engine block heater Side door mouldings Mud guards Seat covers Toyota leather front end mask ExactMat floor mats (along with factory mats) Satellite radio CAN-View (I would consider selling this separately to a willing buyer) Kelley Blue Book shows it at $15,020, private party value.
I would guess the selling price private party is not going to drop too much, maybe to $14000. Its the 2009's that are going to get slammed, I would imagine one should be able to buy a new 2009 (package 1) for $18999 when the 2010's are on the lot.
I'm taking my 2006 down to CarMax as soon as I have an opportunity before the 2010 pricing gets into their computer systems. I think their offer is good for 30 days.
It looks like with the 2010 pricing announced it is really going to affect the pricing of the gen II Prius. With the price staying pretty much to what the gen II is going for and the rebate that Toyota has given to clear the remaing inventory. Please let us know what you get from CarMax on your Prius and what miles and pkg you have on it. I am curious as to I now want to get a 2010 with the prices announced.
If it is just an economic decision there is no question that keeping the older car is cheaper than buying a new one.
I'd keep it, no sense in replacing a car that doesn't need replaced. If you were keeping your current Prius and buying the 2010 to replace an older run down car that is due for replacement then I would feel differently. The new model serves the same purpose / needs. (ie it is still a midsize sedan that isn't significantly larger) If say it were a hybrid mini van or hybrid truck and those would better suit your needs then I would say go for it. You could also just hold out for the plug-in version too.
Certainly you're correct. But though, as I said, it's "primarily" an economic decision, it's not only an economic one. I now pretty much know what I'll be paying for a new one. What I don't know is what my 2005 will fetch on the current or near-term market, which could be rather volatile depending on what gas prices do in the next few weeks. I think I'll test the waters for real. I'll probably put it on the market in a few days and see what I can get. If I sell it for an amount that makes it worthwhile to get the 2010, I've got a car I can use until the new one comes in.
$6K price difference? Get the new one if you can afford it. But wait until you're sure about government rebates which are sure to come. $21K Prius looks good, though I would go to $22K to get the smart key and other extras. Better bet: wait until the dealers discount the 09s to get rid of them. Sure to happen when the 10s become available. Toyota will probably offer dealer incentives on the 09s.
There would be no reason to go from a '05 to a '09. It's the same car (except for side airbags, aux-in, and a couple other minor things). Jim wants the '10 because of the "new and improved" parts. Jim, here's my thought: wait. In a couple years, some PHEV's will be available. I know your commutes are pretty EV friendly. Especially if we get the 61mph-EV, you'll be set!
The beginning of March I bought a 2004 package 9, for $8750 on ebay. 117,000 miles, one owner, from a dealer in Wisconsin off Ebay. But I think I got really good deal, so I bet that you'd get quite a bit more out of your 2005 with fewer miles....
Along similar lines - I'm in a sell private vs. dealer trade boat. 2002 Prius w/ 54.1k miles, needs tires and some minor body work (blown tire dented the lower right rocker panel @ the wheel well, and the clear coat is damaged on the front bumper and rear spoiler). Interior is fairly clean, though slightly stained (kids). Mechanically sound otherwise. Probably in the KBB "Fair" category. Trading offers a sales tax discount of sorts on the new car. Selling outright, I'd spring for interior detail and new tires first, which would offset some of the increase "proceeds" from a private sale vs. trading. If I had any idea what the body work would cost to repair and repaint the damaged surfaces, I could make a better informed decision on selling a "good" condition car outright vs. taking the trade hit.
KBB's only showing ~$12,000 price on my '04 w/ 86k miles. I'd have to shell out at least $16,000 to get the new 2010, more if I trade in. Just not worth it in my current situation.
Perhaps get the new 2010 now before the summer gas rush, then hold onto the older one and sell at the peak of the summer "high gas price" season.
Yeah, I thought about that too, but that's a gamble. Gas prices could spike in June after an early hurricane or another Middle East flareup. Or they could stay relatively flat for months or longer. I don't need to be hanging onto to two late-model cars for an indefinite period with that uncertainty. Now, if they suddenly shot up to $4/gallon in the next couple of weeks ....
Even if you are trading a car in, always detail the car before you get a valuation. The same trick that works on a private sale also works on a dealer's staff. Make the car look its best and you will get the best trade-in valuation. It may not be worth putting on new tyres but have the seats cleaned, black the tyres and wax the paint at least. I'd even have the under bonnet detailed. I believe you will get 2 to 4 times your investment back when you trade-in.
Fortunately I'll need very little to get it ready for sale. As for the exterior, I gave it the full Zaino treatment three weeks ago. All I'll need now is to wash the pollen off and give it a once-over with Z6. I take very good care of the interior. There are absolutely no stains on either the seats or the carpet. I just need to vacuum it, scrub the (vinyl) ExactMats ... and wipe the pollen off.
That's the plan, just not sure I can "hide" the fender or paint damage, but you're entirely correct about first impressions. There's a local car wash/detail shop that sometimes has NO work middle of the week around lunch time. Out of desperation, they offer REALLY cheap detail jobs just to keep their workers from standing idle. Father in-law got a basic interior detail for $15! I need to see if I can stumble into something similar.
For those who want to trade vs. sell outright, get at least 2-3 offers. When I bought my 2004, I asked the Toyota dealer what I'd get on my wife's 2002 Hyundai Elantra. They admitted that despite the excellent condition, they'd probably auction it as it wasn't a car they wanted and thus low-balled the price. I then asked the same question at a Hyundai dealer who would simply put it on the lot same day, and the offer was a good $1000 more. Of course, two days later, I had a strong hit from a private buyer willing to pay my private party asking price, but alas. Many car dealers will work with you to buy your car even if you're not buying one there. It also helps eliminate the "shell" game where they give you a "great" trade value and then tack on silly markups or fees to make up the profit elsewhere. Start the process early enough to not be "forced" into an undesirable trade when you take delivery of your new car, but make sure your situation supports 1 less car as a result.
OK, I think I've made my mind up to keep the 2005. Even if I could get KBB full retail, it just doesn't seem to make financial sense. Thanks to all for your input.

Union Rags just gets up on the rail to beat Paynter in driving Belmont finish
PICTURE: EquiSport PhotosUnion Rags just gets up to win Belmont thriller
Report: USA, Saturday
Belmont Park: Belmont Stakes (Grade 1) 1m4f, dirt, 3yo
FOR so long burdened with a huge reputation, Union Rags (Michael Matz/John Velazquez) finally came good with a determined victory in Saturday's Belmont Stakes.
Although there was no Triple Crown on the line after I'll Have Another was scratched the day before the race, a crowd of 85,811 were rewarded for still turning up at the 'Big Sandy' with a thriller as Union Rags was driven up the rail to take the New York Classic by a neck over the front-running Paynter. Outsider Atigun took third.
The result represented another agonising defeat for trainer Bob Baffert and jockey Mike Smith after remarkably similar outcomes with Bodemeister, collared by I'll Have Another in the final furlong of the previous two legs of the Triple Crown.
Not for the first time, Smith was left blaming himself for allowing Union Rags to get up on his inside.
Union Rags, who stopped the clock in a slow 2m30.42s, was sent off 11-4 second favourite behind Kentucky Derby third Dullahan, who seriously fluffed his lines in the Belmont in finishing a dismal seventh as 5-2 market choice.
Winning trainer Michael Matz, 61, is best known for the exploits of the ill-fated Barbaro, who won the Kentucky Derby in 2006.
Matz said before Saturday's Classic that all he was hoping for was a clean trip after a series of troubled passages - including in last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile, the Florida Derby and, crucially, at Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May, when Union Rags lost all chance as he stumbled at the gate before finishing seventh.
Julien Leparoux was jocked off for the Belmont in favour of New York-based Velazquez, who duly delivered with a rail-hugging ride - although it was touch and go that he would get a gap for the homebred son of Dixie Union, who carries the colours of owner Phillis Wyeth's Chadds Ford Stable.
"I'm just glad for Phyllis and the horse that we got to see the real Union Rags," said Matz, who rode on the US equestrian team at three Olympics.
"We always thought this horse had Triple Crown potential," he added. "I do really think this horse when he has a clean trip is one of the best three-year-olds in this crowd. Whether he could have done something against I'll Have Another I don't know but it sure would have been fun to see."
Connections of the runner-up Paynter, who carries the colours of Bodemeister's owner Ahmed Zayat, could have been forgiven a sense of déjà vu after yet another close-run thing on the Classic stage.
A different pair of horses were involved in the Belmont but the script was remarkably similar to the previous two races as Smith set the pace on Paynter, with Union Rags travelling comfortably on the rail, rated nicely just off the pace at the head of the second rank.
Smith posted sensible fractions and Paynter looked likely to score as he extended his lead on entering the stretch, with Union Rags seemingly bottled up in behind as Atigun challenged on the outside.
However, Paynter drifted off the rail and when the hole opened up, Union Rags rallied bravely to claim the $1 million Classic.
"I was very proud of him," said Velazquez. "Just to be home, this was my opportunity here. It was incredible - there aren't words to describe it. They liked this horse for so long, and for him to finally rise to the top again. I'm very, very happy for him."
Winning owner Phyllis Wyeth, who uses a wheelchair after being paralysed from the waist down in a car crash at the age of 20 in 1962, was understandably elated.
"I knew - I had a dream," she said. "I knew he would make it. I only have that racehorse and half of another - a claimer!
"And I knew Michael could do it with him," she added. "It was my dream and he made it come true today. He and Johnny - nobody would've gotten through on the rail other than Johnny today, I can tell you that. That was unbelievable. He just said, 'Move over, I'm coming.' He believed in the horse and Michael got him there."

TRISTAN SCOTT Missoulian MISSOULA
Dylan and Jase Lewis tend their East Missoula Kool-Aid stand with rapt attention, listening for the distant rumble of motorcycles. They dismiss a Honda Goldwing here, a sport bike there, but when the choppy clamor of a Harley Davidson V-twin crescendos to a deafening thunder, their eyes light up with cartoon dollar signs. One of the boys flips over a posterboard sign advertising "Jase and Dylan's Kool-Aide" so that it reads "Welcome Hells Angels," and a tattooed throng of leatherclad bikers is upon them, queuing up patiently before the juice jug with outstretched dollar bills. "They've learned to listen for that sound," said Bev Lewis, the mother of Jase, 7, and Dylan, 11. As it turns out, members and prospects of the Hells Angels, the world's most revered and feared motorcycle organization, are Kool-Aid winos, and Jase and Dylan peddle their drug of choice. Dylan took this valuable business lesson to heart in 2000, wh e n t h e He l l s An ge l s Motorcycle Club last visited the Garden City for its annual USA Run an event that kicked off in Missoula for a second time on Wednesday. The last time the club was in town, Dylan and his older brother, Adam, set up a Kool-Aid command post along Highway 200 near their house, hoisted a "Welcome Hells Angels" sign in the air and cooled their heels on a card table. One of the first bikers who noticed the welcome wagon pulled over and told the brothers they couldn't use the club's trademarked name as a selling point. But moments later, as the boys were tearing down the stand, a chapter leader from Arizona drove up and granted them permission, even going as far to authenticate the operation by scribbling his signature on the posterboard. In less than two hours, they made nearly $200 after subtracting overhead costs for sugar, ice and drink packets and learned a thing or two about the theory of supply and demand. As the bikers kept arriving, the siblings scrambled to fill and refill a Coleman thermos with bug juice and water, which they siphoned from a neighbor's spigot. Meanwhile, the Angels accepted half-full Dixie cups and flipped the boys $5 bills for their troubles (a cup of Kool-Aid costs 25 cents, but most club members tip around 1,000 percent). After about two hours, a Montana Highway Patrol trooper rolled up and ordered a drink, but said he had to shut down the booth because it was causing a traffic hazard. "It really turned them into little moneymakers," Bev said Wednesday while supervising her boys in the Ole's parking lot in East Missoula. "This year they were talking about raising their prices because of inflation. Kool-Aid is 25 cents a packet now, up from around 5 cents the last time. But they decided against it." The Lewis brothers have a philanthropic side, too. In 2005, they set up shop selling lemonade and donated $325 to the Red Cross to help support victims of Hurricane Katrina. But this week, it's all about profits, and the brothers have remedied the parking problem by getting permission from the owner of Ole's to use the lot. On Tuesday, Jase and Dylan capitalized on the prospects and recruits who drifted into town ahead of other club members to set up camp at Marshall Mountain, where members of the club are staying through the weekend. They had about a dozen customers, raking in $30. After that refresher, the brothers can already recognize the poise of an Angel, and pick out nonmembers from a hundred feet away. "He's got a helmet so he's probably not a Hells Angel," Dylan said Wednesday after assessing one approaching biker. But then came the payload, in the form of Oscar, a full member of the Hells Angels California Nomads who said he bui l t up a tal l thirst on Wednesday while bench-pressing 500 pounds at a local gym. Sitting back on his Harley, with ink-sleeved biceps the size of ponderosa tree trunks, and wearing a smile wider than the nearby Clark Fork River, Oscar called to Dylan. "Come here, man. As soon as I saw you with that sign, you broke my heart," Oscar said. Dylan obliges, bringing Oscar a cup of Kool-Aid and a chocolate-chip cookie. In exchange for the morsels, Oscar reaches toward the back of his bike, where his helmet is mounted, wrapped in a black T-shirt. "Take your shirt off, kid," Oscar said. "What size are you?" "I don't know. Ask her," said Dylan, pointing to his mother as Oscar slips the oversized shirt over the boy's slight frame. "Here, come get your tips," Oscar said, handing his Kool- Aid cup to a prospective member while motioning to Jase and handing each of the brothers $2. "We appreciate the welcome," Oscar said before gunning his engine and roaring off toward Marshall Mountain as Dylan and Jase admired the gift. "It's pretty cool," Dylan said. "I'm definitely gonna wear it the next time I sell Kool-Aid." The Lewis brothers will work through today, when Dylan goes to summer camp.

Obama Pushes Congress To Avoid Automatic Cuts; GOP Says It's Not The Problem
Originally published on Tue February 19, 2013 11:54 am
Standing in front of first responders who he says could lose their jobs, President Obama pushed Tuesday for Congress to act now to avoid $85 billion in "automatic, severe budget cuts" set to kick in starting on March 1.
The cuts due because of the so-called sequestration "are not smart, they are not fair [and] they will hurt our economy," the president said.
He painted a picture of "border patrol agents' hour reduced ... FBI agents furloughed ... federal prosecutors [closing] cases and letting criminals go ... [and] thousands of teachers and educators [being] laid off" as government spending is cut.
If lawmakers can't agree on a plan to avoid the automatic cuts, Obama said, they should at least pass "a smaller package of spending cuts and tax reforms ... to give them time to work together on a plan that finishes the job of deficit reduction in a sensible way."
He charged that Republicans would rather see the automatic cuts go into effect than close "special interest loopholes." They would "rather put hundreds of thousands of jobs and our entire economy at risk," Obama said.
Republicans don't see things that way. Before the president spoke, the office of House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, released these statements:
-- "GOP has long supported closing tax loopholes in order to simplify code, create jobs, expand opportunity for all. POTUS wants to spend more."
-- "GOP agrees the sequester is wrong way to reduce the deficit; but only the House has voted (twice) to replace it http://j.mp/VeNZVU."
-- "Will POTUS finally outline a plan today to replace his sequester w/responsible cuts that put us on a path to balance the budget in 10 years?"

IDPH encourages screenings, vaccination during Cervical Health Awareness Month
(KFVS) - The Illinois Department of Public Health is encouraging regular screening for cervical cancer and vaccination for the Human Papillomavirus during National Cervical Awareness Month, observed every January.
According to the IDPH, all women are at risk for cervical cancer; however, it occurs most often in women over age 30.
"Because of advances in screening, as well as the HPV vaccine, cervical cancer is highly preventable. It is also very treatable if detected early," said IDPH Director Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck. "There are often no noticeable symptoms with cervical cancer, so it is important to get screened regularly. Now is also the time for teens and young women and men to talk with health care providers about the HPV vaccine, which can prevent the most common types of HPV that cause cervical cancer."

United States
We recently hired a car with Alamo at LAX and plumped through prebooking for the smallest and cheapest. On arrival they wanted us to trade up to a bigger car (apparently a Focus not being a family car).
When we got outside to choose a car there were only huge cars anyway, so there's no point in paying for the upgrade. There were also lots of Prius sitting there as midsize cars but, because the European families were scared of the unknown, went unpicked. Read up on them before you go if you want a trendy midsize car.

NORTH BERGEN - During Wednesday's North Bergen High School graduation ceremony, Mayor Nicholas Sacco announced that he was going to meet with attorneys to fight the state championship title being taken from the North Bergen High School football team.
Last year, the Bruins won a state title by defeating Monclair in the championship game. But a Star-Ledger article earlier this year alleged that members of the coach's family helped recruit two of the football players from other schools. The New Jersey Interscholastic Athletic Association at first ruled that the coach did not directly recruit the players. But a committee reversed the decision recently, and stripped North Bergen of the championship title.

Roasted Cod with Rice, Shrimp and Home-Made Tartar Sauce
Serves 2 generously
You will need the following items:
For Sauce:
3 Tbsp. Mayonnaise
3 tsp sweet pickle relish
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp. chopped capers
a dash of white wine vinegar
½ chopped shallot
1 Tbsp. chopped parsley
1 tsp. lemon juice
a bit of grated lemon zest
a dash of cayenne
salt/pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients well and let sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. Can be kept refrigerated for up to 1 week.
For Fish:
1 ½ lbs fresh cod
6 fresh shrimp, shells left on!
Olive oil
Salt pepper
About 6 cups cooked rice
Bay leaf
Lemon wedges for serving
Parsley for garnish
First you will need to preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and pour yourself something like a good Albarino. Then place your rice in a casserole dish and just rub the cod and the shrimp with a tiny bit of oil, salt and pepper and place atop your rice. Sprinkle the seafood with a bit of lemon, paprika and add a bay leaf to the dish (to be removed upon serving).
Now, bake it all, uncovered, for about 30 minutes (or until the fish has just turned opaque and is starting to pull apart and flake). The juices released while the fish was cooking will season and moisten the rice. Remove the dish from the oven and turn the broiler to high. Place the dish under the broiler for 2 minutes and remove. Let the fish rest 10 minutes, then serve atop rice and garnish with tartar sauce, lemon, parsley and shrimp. Enjoy!

The Oedipus Cycle
nytheatre.com review by Martin Denton
October 23, 2008
Shepard Sobel's visionary staging of The Oedipus Cycle at The Pearl Theatre Company provides contemporary theatergoers with as close an approximation of what it might have been like to be in the audience of one of the drama festivals of ancient Greece as I can imagine. His secret weapon is not authenticity: there are no masks here, nor other trappings of classical Greek theatre; and the play cycle has been stitched together, with significant pruning, from three dramas from three different tetralogies, re-ordered to tell the story of Oedipus and his family chronologically (the dramas are Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone).
No, the special ingredient is engagement. From the outset, Sobel insists that his players remind the audience that they are actors, and so we watch them add and remove costume pieces to their relatively timeless white ensembles as they assume this or that character. The effect is to put us at a remove from the stories they are enacting, and that remove makes us aware that what we're witnessing is a primitive ancestor to drama as we understand it today. The Oedipus Cycle more properly is a rite; a communal experience of something fundamental in our human existence, an essential explanation of why we come together in an arena, or theatre, and allow a few of our gifted cohorts to tell us powerful tales of gods, men, and destiny. The awe-inspiring light that these plays shone in a dark world that we can barely fathom is what Sobel shows us in this remarkable evening. He, as Sophocles did millennia ago, summons us to share with friends and strangers the human struggle in its most raw and unfettered form.
You know the stories: Oedipus, following in the footsteps of his mother and father, tries to outwit Fate but ends up killing his father and marrying his mother; disgraced, he puts out his eyes and exiles himself from his kingdom of Thebes. Years later, he arrives at Colonus, a sacred place in Athens, where he offers himself as protector to the city while cursing his sons Eteocles and Polynices, who are locked in a battle for control over their inheritance. As Oedipus foretells, the two princes kill each other simultaneously, and in the final play their sister Antigone risks death to bury Polynices in defiance of her uncle Creon. (A more detailed account of the myth is here.)
What plays out on stage, though, is a cycle of great men and women flouting their destinies (sometimes ordained by gods, other times by men) while oracles divine and choruses of ordinary folk alternately watch awestruck and throw up their hands hoping somebody will do something to fix the massive messes that the great ones' destinies always seem to create. Indeed, the contrast between the heroes and villains who move the earth and the common men and women trying simply to survive is the great constant in these plays. Some things never change.
The Oedipus Cycle features very speakable and hearable new translations of Sophocles' plays by Peter Constantine. Harry Feiner's unit set—a platform framed by a dozen stands of wood that double as columns and trees—provides the perfect timeless environment for the piece. Stephen Petrilli's lighting is splendidly evocative, and Devon Painter's costumes, as I've already mentioned, bridge the gap between then and now quite brilliantly.
Six main actors play all the roles in the cycle, and their work is commendable. Dominic Cuskern gives us a solid Tiresias, while T.J. Edwards is a commanding older Oedipus in the Colonus play; both of these men also lead the chorus throughout the show. Jay Stratton gets the hubris and the heartbreak just right as Oedipus in the first play, and John Livingstone Rolle shows us Creon's transformation from behind-the-scenes player to formidable tyrant as the cycle proceeds. Jolly Abraham is excellent as Antigone and as her mother Jocasta and her aunt Eurydice. Susan Heyward plays Ismene but really excels as Polynices in Colonus. Two other actors, Jack Moran and Joel Richards, complete the chorus.
The Oedipus Cycle doesn't look for empathy from its audience; its demand is actually greater, to completely surrender to its power and to experience it not as a sophisticated theatergoer but as a wholly immersed witness. Theatre seldom asks this of us nowadays; one of the things that I think Sobel is exploring here is whether or not that's a good thing. See this remarkable show, let it cast its unusual spell, and decide for yourself.

Bo Obama stars in White House holiday card
Dog of the season.
He inspects the tree, inspires the decorations, and now, Bo Obama is front and center on this year's White House holiday card, which features a photo-like painting of the Portuguese Water Dog dashing through the snow in front of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
The card, illustrated by Iowa artist Larassa Kabel, was released on Thursday. Kabel says that while she made the painting, her own dog, Beans, a Boston Terrier-Pug mix, sat by her side in the studio, as he does each day.
Her illustration is based on a photo taken of Bo in 2010 — and Kabel says she gave Bo a scarf in her interpretation to add dimension.
We'll be watching to see where this famous pooch turns up next.

Beyond your concern & Two old heads
by Ian Seed
[ poetry - november 06 ]
Beyond your concern
Perhaps I travel from body to body
simply to postpone the moment we must meet.
I read the story but never come across your face.
She invites me in with a
smile both anxious and pleased.
Will I fit in? Will any of her coterie want to sleep with me?
The sun creates ruby from rock. Our attention is turned
as if through a veil or a
kindled flame.
There are many texts but which will you handle first?
The point is surely to begin, nothing else.
While she cuts my hair,
she leans her belt buckle into my shoulder.
Coming to this means another possibility altogether:
feeling dizzy and closing my eyes.
Perhaps it's as much as
anyone can offer.
She had supper with us that night and her son came to the table.
We don't know if they'll return.
The play is not without
risk or love. 'The good which I want to do
I fail to do.' When you brush against me.
The story breaks and heal us at the same time.
You have a double face.
It's no use thinking they will save us.
The boy on the corner holds out his hand.
If you were to ask, it
would be more than you can think of:
I without myself, you without yourself.
Who will bring us home?
Two old heads
So, nothing: this, the view shifted,
my mother swimming away,
and the gift of you bending over
in a scene I dreamt of once before,
sudden formlessness raised around you,
too high for you to climb, a voice
lost as I enter the city without you.
But why these houses, the sadness of them?
I won't tell you of the impression your shout
makes in the dark. E poi basta -
it's enough for you to have knelt down
in the place where you did, only a few moments
ago. To stay upright is tiring -
you should know a few things about that.
Meanwhile the days pass. It's snowy
and foggy. If your father is an executioner,
his face all lit up, how do you translate this
into family terms? I reach out to you
from forgotten wounds, I tell myself words
I have never understood. At times
some dead thing overcomes me. You
or who? The surprise at finding myself
uncomposed in front of an open window,
your promise to close your eyes next time.
No one can tear you away. Did you know
I would grow tired of waiting before you
grew tired of watching? I've tried to understand
what you're telling me and even to tell it
to others who have no objection
to this gift from a lost one. The things
you dream up to make yourself interesting:
'My wife, Anna, is very blond and knows how to dress.'
E poi basta - I'm locking the
house and leaving.
The sky is no different from the colour of stone.
What makes me love you makes me want to run.
