Sam Kuusisto :: Julian's Ride :: Halloween, Alaska :: The Plastic Constellation and Hockey Night :: To Sing Along the Way :: Tangled up in Bob :: Allophones :: Food Stock :: That1Guy AND THIS WEEK'S
: Maggie's Brain at Plawrights' Center
Sam Kuusisto
Fine Line Music Cafe
There's good talent, great talent, those who're just bad-to-the-bone, and then there is the ungodly. That's when we're talking soul man Sam Kuusisto. Straight out of Anoka, homeboy ain't takin' no shorts. Who did you last hear cover James Brown's "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," The Isley Brothers' "It's Your Thing" and Van Morrison's "Domino," stamping each interpretation with his own signature? Hell, one out of the three would be just fine. There's no word yet on when Sam the Man will release a disc, but trust that units will move just as fast as stores can stock them. Bottom line: Kuusisto sings as strong as sulfuric acid and works with a killer backup band. Any questions? Sam Kuusisto shuttles across downtown Minneapolis tonight.
8 p.m. Fine Line, 318 N. 1st Ave., Mpls. 612-338-8100. 9:30 p.m. Bunker's, 761 N. Washington Ave., Mpls. 612-338-8188.
Maggie's Brain
Playwrights' Center
Last year, Off-Leash Area performed an early version of "Maggie's Brain" in a garage/back yard. Now, this intimate look at schizophrenia gets the full production it deserves. Co-created by Paul Herwig and Jennifer Ilse, Ilse draws from her brother's struggle with mental illness, in a production that shows how one young woman grapples with a chemical disorder that creates fear, alienation and sometimes wonder. Creating simple but evocative movements and dance choreography, "Maggie's Brain" gives a visceral view of what mental illness feels like, yet avoids feeling voyeuristic. How Maggie's family responds is also addressed. This play won praise as a backyard work-in-progress and fulfills its promise now that it has come to full fruition.
Through Feb. 3. 8 p.m. $12-$18. 2301 E. Franklin Ave., Mpls. 612-724-7372.
Julian's Ride
Julian's Ride is serious about their funk-delivering a high-energy mix of funk, soul, R&B, rock and pop that's so powerful it even gets the white boys' pants shakin'. Julian Stefoni relocated his musical HQ here from Chicago last fall, bringing with him all the swagger and style that could legally cross state lines. Anyone who caught last week's packed show at Arnellia's in St. Paul knows they do fantastic live shows. Here's another chance to get funked up. From James Brown to Sly & The Family Stone to George Clinton, Julian's Ride brings old school funk alive in the kind of high-intensity performance that few can match. This show is a tribute to one of funk's all-time greats, Minneapolis homeboy, Prince. No funkin' around--catch the funk that brings the goods.
9:30 p.m. $5. 107 N. 3rd Ave. Mpls. 612-465-0440. JUMPIN' JOE HOZEPHAT
Halloween, Alaska
Uptown Bar and Cafe
Despite being one of the brightest lights on the local music scene, the pop veterans that make up electro-pop outfit Halloween, Alaska have a gig schedule seemingly in indirect proportion to the amount of love they garner from area fans. Don't get too mad about it though--it's partly a matter of logistics as singer/guitarist James Diers is currently living in Madison, Wisc. Just be glad that what these guys lack in gigs they make up for in recorded output. Work is already well underway on the group's third album, which will hopefully once again sound like Depeche Mode having intercourse with Death Cab for Cutie while on barbiturates (in non-geek speak: really damn innovative and interesting mood pop that knows its way around a laptop). With new member Jake Hanson of Cowboy Curtis recently brought into the fold on keys and guitar, expect an even fuller and punchier sound on display in what was already one of the Twin Cities' most abundantly talented groups.
With DJ Soviet Panda, Jeremy Messersmith. 9 p.m. $7. 21+. 3018 Hennepin Ave. S., Mpls. 612-823-4719.
The Plastic Constellations, Hockey Night
Triple Rock Social Club
Both former Pulse cover stars, the boys in The Plastic Constellations and Hockey Night are in many ways polar opposites. The Plastic Constellations favor buzz-saw riffs and throat searing vocal intensity, while Hockey Night opt for a more placid and angular take on the indie-rock songbook. Where the bands overlap, however, is in their penchant for gargantuan hooks, so whether you're looking for loping-dual-guitar-lead, Thin-Lizzy-inspired-stoner-bliss (Hockey Night), or a fist-pumping post-punk call to arms (The Plastic Constellations), you're sure to leave the comfy confines of the Triple Rock with a smile plastered on your face. Expect plenty of new tunes in the offing as well, as both groups are hard at work on new albums.
With The Future. 5 p.m. $8. All Ages & 9 p.m. 21+. $8. 629 Cedar Ave. S., Mpls. 612-333-7399.
To Sing Along the Way
Open Book Center
If you attend readings by local authors with any regularity, you're probably accustomed to small, poorly-heated venues, modest audiences and little hoopla. This one's gonna be different. "To Sing Along the Way: Minnesota Women Poets from Pre-Territorial Days to the Present" is published by New Rivers Press and is the first historical and contemporary anthology of Minnesota women poets. The poems included in the anthology range from the earliest poetry in Minnesota—oral song-poems of Ojibwe women--to the sounds and rhythms of early 20th century formalism and contemporary free verse. Edited by three prize-winning poet--Joyce Sutphen, Thom Tammaro and Connie Wanek--"To Sing Along the Way" boasts more than 100 women poets and reflects the wide diversity of women's voices. More than 30 of the contributing poets will be reading at the book launch, including local poets Carol Connolly, Heid Erdrich, Kirsten Dierking, Patricia Hampl, Phebe Hanson, Mary Rose O'Reilly, Wang Ping and the always-brilliant Deborah Keenan and Leslie Adrienne Miller. In addition, poet Diane Jarvi will perform music. This evening, complete with complimentary hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar, promises to be a grand literary celebration and social soirée. Dress dapper and prepare to mingle.
7-10 p.m. Free. 1011 Washington Ave. S., Mpls. 218-477-5870 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Tangled Up in Bob
Bell Auditorium
The best part of Martin Scorsese's PBS documentary about Bob Dylan, "No Direction Home," may have been the performance footage of the elusive singer-songwriter, but the icon remained elusive when it came to being interviewed. A native Minnesota filmmaker with Iron Range roots, Mary Feidt might have better luck with her new film on Dylan entitled "Tangled Up in Bob." Feidt has gone from the WCCO TV's I-Team, to PBS' "Frontline" and has won a Peabody and an Emmy for her work. For this project she co-created the film with writer—and absolute Dylan fan--Natalie Goldberg, who is best known for her contemporary classic book "Writing Down the Bones." "Tangled Up in Bob," which is subtitled "Searching for Bob Dylan, a Minnesota Story," creates curiosity about how these two women have approached one of the most taciturn talents in American music. The film is shown as part of the Bob Dylan retrospective at the Weisman Museum.
Through Feb. 7. $5-$8. Daily 7:15 & 9:15 p.m.; 5:15 matinee on Sun. 10 Church St. SE, Mpls. 612-627-4430.
Rosalux Art Gallery
Rosalux Gallery's Allophones is a joint exhibition between Ingrid Restemayer and James Wrayge, characterized as an abstract visual dialogue, which results in conversations between comparative images. Restemayer's intricate etchings on handmade paper features hand-printed images of delicate koi fish, eggs and other elements of nature that have been successively collaged before being punctuated by mock-paragraph forms made from embroidery-stitched threads. Wrayge's pieces encase vivid color patches within fine, under-painted lines. These two distinctive artists work in vastly different processes and mediums, yet find their way to a common exchange of ideas. Wrayge's expressive oils on canvas contrast, yet naturally communicate, with Restemayer's mixed-media collages. The work of both of these talented artists is meditative and contemplative.
Through Feb. 18. Reception Feb. 3, 7-11 p.m. 1011 Washington Ave. S., Mpls. 612-747-3942.
Food Stock
Harriet Island
As temperatures plummet to freezing and below, this is a good time to think about homelessness. Some quick and dirty figures: 2 percent of the population of the United States is homeless for at least one night during any three-year period. About 800,000 children are homeless in any given week. About 20 percent of requests for shelter go unmet because of lack of resources. And this is the time of year when exposure to the elements can quite likely be fatal. Thankfully, a musical event at the Winter Carnival is directing resources to two local charitable causes, Listening House of St. Paul and Keystone Community Services Food Shelf. On hand to perform will be an astounding lineup of local talent, including Spider John Koerner, Paul Metza, Curtiss A, Maurice Jacox and Martin Devaney. The event itself is free, but donations will be accepted throughout the performances.
2-5 p.m. Harriet Island, St. Paul.
Nomad World Pub
Forgive us, Minnesota: 95 percent of the time the Tuesday night Minneseries at the Nomad is all about awesome local bands, but sometimes a touring act comes through and we have to make way to accommodate. Fortunately, we can vouch for the quality of Mike Silverman, aka That1Guy. Back in 2004 he released the memorably titled
Songs in the Key of Beotch
and leadoff single "One," which mashed together an eclectically percussive and skronky backing track with a spoken-sung, stream-of-consciousness rap that recalled, of all people, MC 900 ft. Jesus. The faucet on the cover of that disc wasn't just a nifty image or a metaphor for the lyrical sensibility— it was floating out there in space because Silverman had thrown the kitchen sink into the album itself. He'll be bringing his one-man band act for this show, but apparently we won't be believing it until we see it, at least according to the press releases. The word "spectacle" pops up again and again. Openers Electropolis will be putting on their own kind of spectacle, bringing their expansively textural and evocative brand of effects-whacked jazz to the Nomad's stage.
9 p.m. $8. 21+. 501 Cedar Ave. S., Mpls. 612-338-6424.

Glossary Term – Event
Fair Labor Standards Act
The Fair Labor Standards Act prohibited child labor and established a minimum wage.
The Fair Labor Standards Act prohibited child labor and established a minimum wage.
Thousands of unemployed workers marched at the Ford Motor Company's Dearborn, Michigan, plant to demand hunger and job relief. Police fired on the crowd, killing three demonstrators.
John Steinbeck's novel The Grapes of Wrath was published. The book told the story of an Oklahoma sharecropper family forced to migrate to California in search of work. The book instantly became a literary emblem of the Great Depression and soon earned the Pulitzer Prize and was instrumental in his selection for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
The German passenger airship Hindenburg was destroyed in a disastrous fire as it tried to land near Lakehurst, New Jersey. Thirty-seven aboard were killed. A radio broadcaster assigned to cover the ship's arrival described the disaster as it happened, declaring, "Oh, the humanity!"
The Hoover Dam (originally called the Boulder Dam) was constructed on the Colorado River downstream from the Grand Canyon.
John Collier persuaded Congress to pass the Indian Reorganization Act, which terminated the allotment program of the Dawes Severalty Act of 1887; provided funds for tribes to purchase new land; offered government recognition of tribal constitutions; and repealed prohibitions on Native American languages and customs. Later the same year, federal grants were provided to local school districts, hospitals, and social welfare agencies to assist American Indians.
The economy relapsed in the "Roosevelt Recession." Encouraged by the successes he saw resulting from New Deal programs, President Roosevelt felt the economy had turned around and he cut spending. At that point, companies failed, unemployment rose, and the stock market fell. Roosevelt responded with a new spending program, and the economy largely returned to pre-1937 levels by the middle of 1938.
President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act, which established benefits for the elderly, the blind, the handicapped, dependent women and children, and the unemployed.
Congress passed the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allocation Act to limit overproduction by paying farmers to reduce the cultivation of soil-depleting crops.
As the Depression dragged on, bitter labor-management warfare erupted. In 1934, 1.5 million American workers went on strike. Auto and steel workers and longshoremen became involved in violent strikes. In Minneapolis, police shot sixty-seven striking Teamsters. In August, textile workers staged the largest strike the country had ever seen. 110,000 workers struck in Massachusetts, 60,000 in Georgia. While some of the strikes aimed at higher wages, fully a third demanded union recognition.

Taste of Thai
A while back, I purchased a groupon for Taste of Thai. Taste of Thai has two locations: Hillcrest and Del Mar. I've known about Taste of Thai since I first moved to San Diego. When I was in college, it seemed that the two most popular Thai places were Taste of Thai and Celadon. At the time, the two were located directly across the street from each other in Hillcrest. Celadon has since relocated and revamped its menu and style.
I was a loyal Celadon patron when I was in college, so I never visited Taste of Thai. Lately, when I pass by Hillcrest, I see the signs for the lunch specials, so I have been wanting to check it out for a while. So when the groupon appeared, I purchased one.
We went for a weekend lunch. Unfortunately, the lunch specials are only during the weekdays.
We started off with the Mee Krob appetizer, something we've never tried before.
The dish wasn't what we were expecting. There was only a few pieces of chicken, which were fried and really dry. The majority of the dish consisted of the crispy fried rice noodles, which were tossed in a sweet and sour sauce. The dish reminded me of eating the crispy noodles dipped in sweet and sour sauce at American chinese restaurants.
After our appetizer arrived, our food took a really really long time. I don't know what the hold up was because there were not many customers in the restaurant.
Fiance and I both really love the various Thai noodle dishes, so when we go out to eat Thai we always tend to order quite a few noodle dishes instead of more entree type dishes.
We ordered the Pad Thai.
I ordered it with Thai sausages, but the sausages in this dish were the chinese sausages. Still, I liked that they offered another option other than the standard chicken, pork, beef, shrimp. The pad thai okay tasting, but not great.
We also ordered the Pad See Ew.
I thought this dish was way too salty. I couldn't eat more than a few bites. The noodles were also too choppy and cooked a little too long. They should be a little chewy and these were too soft.
Going into this experiences, my expectations were not that high, especially since we've had a lot more different thai places since our college days. But I was really disappointed by the food here. The servers were really friendly and our waters were constantly refilled. It's too bad the food wasn't as good.

My mom went to the del mar location MANY years ago and the one thing i remember her saying was 'it was THE WORST THAI food ever'.
I always see coupons for this place and wanted to try it but my mom's words haunted me so I've been hesitant to try this place.
The Mee Krob looked miserable! That totally looks like the cheap styrofoam- noodles you get at cheapy Chinese restaurants!
I'm not a huge lover of Thai food but my go-to place is Spices (only for lunch b/c they have great specials and it's close to my house).
You should visit Chedi Thai in LJ. My friend and I really enjoyed it there (for both lunch and dinner). I really liked their Chilean Sea Bass dinner entree I had one time –
Sorry Taste of Thai wasn't so great – but at least you had the Groupon
Hi Kirbie – We call that place "Waste of Thai-mm". Unfortunately, it seems that lots of folks want very dumbed down Thai Food.
sorry you had to experience crappiness at taste of thai. it's totally lame there and it's always so noisy. i've only been there twice (1st out of curiosity and the 2nd because a friend wanted to have lunch tehre) and it sucked both times.
I always went to Spices mainly because of proximity to home and work. Never got to try Celadon but always heard good things.

New Philadelphia 76ers President Bryan Colangelo's biggest priority heading into free agency was to find a veteran point guard to help organize a team full of youngsters.
He is turning to a familiar face to help get the job done.
The 76ers agreed to terms with veteran guard Jerryd Bayless on a three-year deal worth $27 million, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Friday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal cannot be signed until July 7.
The 27-year-old Bayless was a valuable backup for the Milwaukee Bucks for the last two seasons. He averaged 10.4 points and 3.1 assists last season. His deal with the Sixers...

Accuracy...Springfield XD9 or Glock 19?

> Accuracy...Springfield XD9 or Glock 19?
September 30, 2004, 05:50 PM
Which gun is more accurate? Also, does the Springfield with the stainless slide rust as much as the blackened?

September 30, 2004, 06:16 PM
I like the XD. Because of it's backstrap safety, they made the trigger lighter and crisper than the Glock trigger. I sold my only Glock because I couldn't get comfortable with the mushy, heavy trigger on it.
September 30, 2004, 08:06 PM
Haven't tried the Glock, but my XD9 with CCI Blazer 115 gr fmj ammo has given me sub 2 inch groups at 27 yards from a rest. Can't complain!
October 1, 2004, 09:44 AM
I shoot my Glocks very well, I've only shot the XD9 once, but I didn't like it at all, and I found my Glock 19/26 to be more accurate. YMMV.
October 1, 2004, 11:59 AM
Both pistols are very accurate and will serve you well. For the money the XD9 will take good care of your wallet and you'll have a few more boxes of ammo to play with from the money you save.
I like the stock triggers on the XD9s better than the Glocks....but put a aftermarket trigger on the Glock and its one hell of a sweeet shooter!
October 2, 2004, 01:08 AM
..so I tend to shoot the XD better due to its grip angle. Otherwise, if I shoot it from the rest accuracy is the same.
Definitely get the stainless one if its for carry.
October 2, 2004, 11:18 AM
Glocksrock, it sounds like you may be a little biased with a name like that. I've owned both I only own the XD now enough said!
October 3, 2004, 01:10 AM
I like both and both can be very accurate (YMMV!) At this moment in time, I'd go w/ the Glock.
James Bondrock
October 3, 2004, 06:19 PM
I would expect both guns to have about the same accuracy when shot from a bench or a machine rest. Practical accuracy (the ability of the gun and shooter to get fast center hits) is an individual matter. The two guns differ greatly in trigger action and grip angle.

A coat is probably one of the biggest (and most costly) wardrobe purchases we, as fashionistas, make. Choosing the right coat is important and tricky business. Because a coat is the outer-most layer of your outfit the shape can make or break your look.
The most important thing to consider when shopping for a new coat is your body shape as your coat should fit perfectly. Invest in something classic and a color that works great with the items in your wardrobe. For the most universally flattering look, choose a coat that highlights the waist and is about knee length. Something nipped in at the waist is your best choice. If your coat is straight, try cinching it with a regular wide belt.
Most women are looking for clothing that makes them look thinner or taller. When buying a coat you should apply all the basic rules you use when choosing any other clothing item. First of all, be sure to try on many different styles and shapes before making a final decision. Consider buying a coat that's one size bigger, so that you can layer underneath it.
To enhance a petite figure try a three-quarter length coat. A garment that ends at the knee will emphasize the lower part of the leg and elongate the figure. To create an illusion of looking taller, go for an empire waist or a belted waistline. Steer clear of exaggerated details at the neckline, which will draw the eye upward. Avoid mid-calf coats as they will cut the silhouette and make you look even shorter. Be sure to pay attention to skirts or dresses that are longer than the coat-especially if they don't match.
Tall women can play with volume-coats with a fuller cut. Classic long coats or a trench look great. A cape can also flatter the tall figure as it enhances the look of a long leg. Pair with fitted pants or a slim pencil skirt.
A curvy figure is best suited for a coat that follows the contour of the body. This gives the illusion of being taller.
An empire style coat elongates the figure and camouflages a larger stomach. For a fuller figure try a knee length coat with simple lines.
Choose a coat that adds curves to a straight figure. Sharp tailored coats and strong shoulders will look totally amazing. A belt at the waist will add to your femininity. The placement of pockets will add volume and create the look of a curvier figure. Short coats, such as down jackets or simply tailored jackets, will also flatter boyish figures. Match with skinny jeans or mini-skirts.
If you have a small bust-line chose coats with interesting details on top. Go for a deep v-neckline and narrow lapels.
For narrow shoulders, take advantage of the fact that the military trend is so hot this season. It flatters the body shape by hugging to the shoulder's style and shape.
Fabric choices are the next thing to consider. Wool gives great protection against the elements-wind, snow, rain and frigid temperatures. Cashmere and shearling offer warmth along with a luxe feeling and look. The only down side is that they are more difficult to keep clean. Down is lightweight, low maintenance and warm. Polyfill is a good alternative if you are allergic to feathers.
Pay attention to the cut of the sleeve, as they are the key to a comfortable fit. Sleeves that are very large at the armholes and tighten down at the wrist and raglan sleeves (straight and all in one from the neckline down) offer more freedom when moving than those that are close fitting at shoulder level.
Remember the longer the length, the more formal a coat will appear. Shorter styles are great for everyday wear, but it is a floor-sweeping cut that looks elegant for evening. A three-quarter length cut is the most practical, as it can go anywhere, any time.
If you want to go with one of the hottest coat trends for winter 2011-2012, choose a toggle coat, cape, single or double breasted tailored coat, military style, luxe (with faux fur trim) or quilted with a furry hood or collar. Fur vests, either real or faux, also make a great statement.
No matter what coat you choose be sure to take good care of it. Coats are a big investment and meant to last more than one season. Be sure to clean it before it goes into storage. Throw a down coat in the dryer with a few tennis balls to fluff it up. Wool, cashmere, shearling or anything with fur needs to be professionally dry-cleaned.
Your best plan of attack when shopping for a new coat-make a statement! A blend of fashion, fit and practicality makes for the best choice. Have fun when you go out to "Shop It" for a new coat.

no hate, but I can't for the life of me understand all the love ar6 gets. Most of his fits, including the latest, don't look that good. His lanvins never look good (sq4you wears them much better). I hate that yigal jacket, etc. Am I really the only one? Preacher hat fit was awesome though...wish I could pull that off.

Their targets: Defensive tackles Jeffrey Whitaker and Byran Jones.
The affable Whitaker said Auburn's commitments have worked him from one all-star game to the next, and were at it again over a recruiting weekend at Auburn.
"I tell them to stop recruiting. We're going to enjoy ourselves,'' said Whitaker with a laugh.
Neither Whitaker nor Jones committed, but said Auburn is very much in the picture.
Auburn had 14-or-so official visitors over the weekend, plus a few more committed players drop in, including running back Michael Dyer and tight end Dakota Mosley, who drove in from Arkansas to hang out.
All the committed players said they were sticking with Auburn, including offensive lineman Shon Coleman, who was considered a "soft" commitment, but said he's 100 percent in Auburn's camp.
We blogged about the recruiting weekend Sunday morning and early afternoon. You can read those here on Whitaker and here on Coleman and here on Jones and here on Kenneth Carter and others.
Here's a review, plus a few new items:**Byran Jones said he liked the feel of Auburn.
"Everybody being real close excited me about the whole weekend. It had a good impact on how I feel about Auburn,'' he said.
Nonetheless, Jones plans to visit Arkansas next weekend.
"I don't have any favorites right now,'' he said.
He said he was happy to see Dyer (he's the No. 1 running back in the country says ESPN) and Mosley, who he said were good friends, in town.
He said he'd announce his intentions on Feb. 3, which is signing day.
**Linebacker Jawara White is one of the biggest Auburn fans committed, there's no doubt about that. He worked the uncommitted players.
"I know Byran had a good time. He was with me,'' White said.
**Defensive back Jonathon Mincy is committed and ready after speaking to coach Gene Chizik.
"He was telling me that my mom doesn't have to worry about anything because Auburn is family. She was happy with that. As long as my mom is happy, I'm happy,'' Mincy said.
He said he hopes Whitaker sides with Auburn.
"I really think he's going to jump on it,'' Mincy said. "Once he does, I'll be happy with that. He's a big defensive lineman. He brings pressure..
**Wide receiver Trovon Reed, who is committed, slipped out before the media could speak to him.
He said he won't visit another school.
He said Auburn coaches told him he'd fit in Gus Malzahn's offense.
(Note: Gus Malzahn was very much in Auburn on Sunday and not in Louisiana.)
**Offensive lineman Shon Coleman said he may take more visits, but said he'd sign with Auburn.
"It's a family thing. Everybody's cool down here,'' he said.
He's a high-profile recruit. Ole Miss, Tennessee, Southern California and Miami want him to visit.
**Wide receiver Jeremy Richardson of Springville High School visited, again.
"To me, it was hanging out with all the players and bond,'' he said. "It's going to be like home."
**Linebacker Jake Holland was on an official visit, but he's been to Auburn plenty of times. He seems ready to get going when fall practice begins. His player host was fellow linebacker Jessel Curry, who was recruited with Holland, but is already in school as a spring semester student.

I planned to take my family to the one and only Black History event offered at our Rockford Public Library - Main location. The Jabali African Acrobats were set to perform at 2 p.m. As I spread the word to my friends and family, my own anticipation of this celebratory event grew.
We arrived early, only to be told by the new Nordlof Center manager that there were no seats. Many people came and waited outside, hoping that she was wrong. It was nice to see so many different people from all walks of life coming to welcome and enjoy the acrobatic experience. I am concerned for two reasons.
One, why was this one-hour show one of the only family Black History events at the Public Library and why was it only shown once and two, why is it when I go to the Nordlof center for Library events, I am shewed upstairs (guitar lessons, Star Wars days, computer classes) and the theater is always a paid event rented out by another company (Tarzan, Wizard of Oz?)
Is this a money-making site for the Public Library or truly an asset to those its trying to serve?

A graduate student history conference to be held on the campus of The Pennsylvania State University on February 8¢9, 2008
The graduate students of The Pennsylvania State UniversityÆs George and Ann Richards Civil War Era Center announce the second annual Richards Center graduate student conference on the Civil War Era (roughly the 1830s through 1880). The Richards Center is committed to the integrated and comprehensive study of the Civil War Era. We especially welcome papers that focus on freedom in relation to African Americans, women, workers, and soldiers, as well as the transformation of law and the Constitution.
Prospective participants are asked to submit a one-page abstract and current C.V. no later than November 15, 2007. The abstract should clearly express the authorÆs argument and potential historiographical significance. Those invited to participate will be notified by December 1, 2007. Invited participants must submit a preliminary version of the 10¢12 page (20 minute) paper to be presented by January 15, 2008.
The two-day conference will begin on Friday, February 8, and continue through Saturday, February 9. Dr. William Blair, editor of Civil War History and director of the Richards Civil War Era Center, will offer opening remarks. Each session will be followed by the commentary of a Richards Center scholar and an opportunity for discussion among the presenters, commentators, and audience. Snacks will be provided. In addition, the Richards Center will host a banquet for presenters on Friday evening.
Travel stipends of $250 will be awarded to each invited speaker. Invited speakers are encouraged to contact conference organizers with questions about accommodations in the area.
Please e-mail all abstracts as an attachment to Anne Brinton at email@example.com.

A fire that severely damaged a Greeley home Friday started because a ventilation pipe from a water heater was improperly installed, according to the fire department.
The fire started Friday afternoon in a mobile home at 2280 1st Ave. Neighbors Emily Beltran and Leonel Hernandez rescued Rose Vilapando, 50, from the blaze. The Red Cross was called to provide Vilapando, her husband Manuel Barron, 70, and grandson Jesus Villalobos, 16, with housing assistance.
Division Chief Dale Lyman said the estimated property damage to the home was $20,000, with about $1,000 in belongings also lost.
Lyman said the residents thought the fire started in the clothes dryer. He said investigators found the fire started because a vent pipe from a water heater was not installed properly, and the wood around the pipe began to smolder.
"That's why it's important to get a building permit when people install that type of appliance," Lyman said. "The inspector will check those clearances to make sure it was installed properly to code."

After becoming a bona fide international star, Britain's Got Talent contestant Susan Boyle could be getting the Hollywood treatment – at least according to reports in the British press.
The U.K.'s Daily Mail has reported that Catherine Zeta-Jones has expressed interest in playing Boyle, though the actress's reps have denied that she's attached to the project. So, in the spirit of fun, we ask: Which actor would you cast as Susan Boyle?
Sorry! This poll has closed.
Any suggestions for Boyle's biopic? Share your comments here

The updated edition of Grabb and Smith's Plastic Surgery seeks to condense the diverse field of plastic surgery into a single-volume comprehensive text that is accessible to medical professionals and trainees at all levels. This edition uses a smaller font size and tighter line spacing and is 250 pages shorter than the previous edition. Some users have found this format difficult to read. However, this change allows the book to deliver more information without becoming too large to carry. The book features 1900 black-and-white photographs and multiple tables. Included with the book is a searchable DVD-ROM that contains the entire book in PDF format as well as access to all of the figures. This increases the portability of the book by allowing the reader to save chapters on a hard drive, and the figures can be copied and inserted into electronic documents or presentations. Unfortunately, the DVD does not include any interactive components, such as hyperlinks to relevant source material, a searchable database, or a bank of review questions.

take a look at the manpages of shutdown and init. They will tell
you everything you need to know and more ;-)
"init 0" is shutdown and halt
"init 5" is shutdown and power off
"init 6" is shutdown and reboot
same effect can be achieved by running shutdown with the equivalent

shutdown -y -g0 -i6 "maintainance reboot"

The story of Domaine Dujac began with the ambition of Jacques Seysses, the son of a biscuit manufacturer. Jacques never wanted to follow in his father's footsteps, however; his sights were set on making wine.

Style: Red Wine
Grape Type: Pinot Noir

Region: Burgundy
Appellation: Cote de Nuits
96+ Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - March/April 2013
Deep, saturated red-ruby. Deep, brooding aromas of black cherry, minerals and oak; conveys the coolness of this site. Dense and powerful but locked up tight today, with strong minerality giving the wine outstanding focus but keeping the powerfully stony flavors under wraps. I picked up an intriguing hint of truffley underbrush but this wine is virtually mute today and will need very long aging.

Carolina Tiger Rescue, formerly the Carnivore Preservation Trust, is a 501(c)3 nonprofit wildlife sanctuary whose mission is saving and protecting wild cats in captivity and in the wild.
Hannah Tiger
Donate in Memory
Date of Birth
Date of Death
Hannah was the sister of Connor and Eliza tiger. Hannah was a beautiful, athletic, charismatic female tiger that was always excited when the food truck rolled her way. She was a sensitive girl and could be a bit of a scaredy cat at times. Hannah was frightened by umbrellas and didn't care for landscaping equipment at all. She loved to roll in the grass in her habitat, visit with her adoptive mom at her fence and stalk (and sometimes attack) some of the bigger birds that flew into her habitat. Hannah also had quite a reputation for being a prissy, prissy girl. She didn't like her feet to be muddy and if one of her treats fell on the ground, she preferred to get a new one that wasn't dirty.
Hannah had lost her companion tiger, Ian, in July 2004. In the wild, tigers are solitary creatures and usually only associate with other tigers for brief periods during mating. In captivity, however, they sometimes adapt very well to sharing their space with a partner. In fact, this interaction with a companion animal can dramatically improve their quality of life. When Hannah found herself alone after years of living with Ian, she needed a lot of attention to ease her into a life without him - something the staff and the volunteers at Carolina Tiger Rescue (then CPT) were all to happy to provide. Most notably, her adoptive Mom came every day for months to sit and spend time with Hannah so she wouldn't be lonely during her "grieving".
Carolina Tiger Rescue lost Hannah on Wednesday, September 13, 2006. Her heart stopped beating while she was under anesthesia to treat a uterine infection. Every effort was made to restart her heart, but without success. Although using anesthesia always involves some risk, this turn of events was as unexpected as it was tragic.
Carolina Tiger Rescue staff and "family" will sorely miss Hannah's sweet spirit. Hannah's deep attachment with Ian tiger and her close interaction with her adoptive mom touched all who witnessed it.

Framing the Future
Princeton University requires a senior thesis (the length of a small book) before graduation, and cap-and-gown season led the Princeton Alumni Weekly (PAW) to reminisce on the theses of former Tigers and to wonder where all that has got them today. Astronaut Charles "Pete" Conrad ('53) wrote about turbojets; onetime hoop star Bill Bradley ('65), now a senator from New Jersey, analyzed Truman's second senatorial campaign; Southerner Hodding Carter ('57), the former State Department spokesman who now watchdogs the press on public TV, studied the Citizen's Council in Mississippi, and Lisa Halaby (74), an architecture major who has since become Queen Noor of Jordan, designed a subway station for the corner of 96th Street and Second Avenue in Manhattan. Another career as unforeseeable from the senior thesis as Noor's was that of consumer advocate Ralph Nader ('55). His paper was titled "Lebanese Agriculture."
Space Invader
While singing at L.A.'s Palomino Club, Charlie Rich had the management mark off a certain parking space for him. Arriving for work one night, Rich found that some inconsiderate creep had parked in it. Thoroughly ticked off, Rich had the car's delinquent owner paged by having the license-plate number boomed through the room. Red-faced Charlie did indeed flush out the owner: Greg Blackwell, the producer of Rich's first and only movie, titled, with a touch of irony, Take This Job and Shove It.
The Tie That Never-Minds
Reagan Cabinet members wouldn't be caught dead without a necktie, and the tie they won't be caught dead without these days is studded with tiny Adam Smith portraits embroidered in gold thread. It symbolizes the Reagan administration's commitment to laissez-faire economics. (Smith was the 18th-century expert who recommended in The Wealth of Nations that private entrepreneurs should make all the money they could, without government interference.) The cravat is available through the Decatur Shop in North Adams, Mich. ($14 with stripes, $20 without)—if Washington supply-siders don't wipe out the supply. OMB chief David Stockman has one, and so has Reagan domestic policy adviser Martin Anderson. Economist Milton Friedman has sported the tie on his TV show Free to Choose, and Sen. Jesse Helms owns several in different colors. The top fan, though, may be White House counselor Ed Meese. He claims he has one for every day of the week, but "No," says his wife, Ursula, who sounds as though she's put in some time getting the soup stains off Smith's nose, "he's got 13 or 14."
Brentano's in Beverly Hills is carrying a book that causes odd behavior in movie stars. They tend to wander in, casually pick up the book, look around and furtively run their fingers down the index. Because the Irving Wallace family's Intimate Sex Lives of Famous People includes the escapades of only three living folks—Milton Berle and authors Georges Simenon and Christopher Isherwood (whose Berlin Stories were dramatized as I Am a Camera and Cabaret)—the bated-breath perusal ends with a heartfelt sigh of relief.
•Leslie Nielsen's 25-year movie career really took off when he played the demented doctor in Airplane! He's in two upcoming films, including an Alien spoof called The Creature Wasn't Nice, but he insists he's more lazy than ambitious. "If I do have a goal," he said when pressed, "it's to maintain enough celebrity status to continue playing in celebrity golf tournaments."
•It could be pretentious, writing an autobiography at the age of 24, but on second thought, the title is rather endearing. The author calls it Debby Boone So Far.

Instabilities of thermocapillary convection in a half-zone at intermediate Prandtl numbers13(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1337063View Description Hide Description
The stability of thermocapillary convection inside a cylindrical liquid bridge is studied using both a direct numerical simulation of the three-dimensional problem and linear stability analysis of the axisymmetric basic state. Previously this has been studied extensively for low and high Prandtl numbers. However, the intermediate range of Prandtl numbers between approximately 0.07 and 0.8 which joins the low and high ranges is quite complicated and has not been studied to the same extent. One striking feature is that the axisymmetric base state is much more stable in this intermediate range than at high or low Prandtl numbers. We identify four different oscillatory modes in this range, which have different qualitative features. Direct numerical simulations have been carried out for representative parameter values, and show that the bifurcations are supercritical.
Migration of a van der Waals bubble: Lattice Boltzmann formulation13(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1352625View Description Hide Description
A numerical study of the isothermal migration of a two-dimensional bubble in Poiseuille flow is reported here for vapor–liquid density and dynamic viscosity ratios of 1/8, and A lattice Boltzmann model with a van der Waals equation of state is employed to simulate the diffuse interface for three interface thickness to bubble diameter ratios, 1/5, 1/10, and 1/20. Point-by-point comparisons with the sharp-interface incompressible counterpart (reported in the literature) reveal velocity discrepancies which are more evident on the vapor side. These differences are a manifestation of a finite mass flux through the interface, associated with driven finite–thickness interfaces. An analytical study of the one-dimensional analog of the traveling diffuse interface problem explains this phenomenon and shows that this flux vanishes as a result of viscous dissipation as the interface thickness tends to zero. This trend is corroborated by the two-dimensional lattice Boltzmann results.
High-Reynolds-number flow in a narrow gap driven by solidification. I. Theory13(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1352636View Description Hide Description
Flow driven by solidification is studied in a limit when fluid dynamics and heat transfer decouple. The governing equations are derived by integrating the mass and momentum equations over a narrow gap of any shape within which rapid solidification occurs. These equations are then simplified by exploiting the high-Reynolds-number characteristics of the flow. The modeling leads to fluid dynamics with a suction-type boundary layer established at the solid/liquid interface due to solid pulling and phase change. In part II [Phys. Fluids 13, 834 (2001)], the method is applied to planar-flow melt-spinning where liquid metal, held by surface tension in the gap between the injection nozzle and spinning chill-wheel, forms a long thin puddle.
High-Reynolds-number flow in a narrow gap driven by solidification. II. Planar-flow casting application13(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1352637View Description Hide Description
Flow driven by solidification is studied in the limit when fluid dynamics and heat transfer decouple. This occurs for processes that are characterized by a long flat solidification front and/or thin molten zones. The gap-averaged governing equations, derived in part I [Phys. Fluids 13, 826 (2001)], are applied to planar-flow melt-spinning where liquid metal, held by surface tension in the gap between the injection nozzle and spinning chill-wheel, forms a long thin puddle. A Karman–Pohlhausen approach that includes mean flow and shear flow components leads to velocity and pressure distributions consistent with observation from experiment. A pressure rise along the flow path due to solidification suction competes with the pressure decrease due to convergent Bernoulliflow.
Dynamics of axisymmetric core-annular flow in a straight tube. I. The more viscous fluid in the core, bamboo waves13(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1352623View Description Hide Description
Nonlinear dynamics of the concentric, two-phase flow of two immiscible fluids in a circular tube is studied. The viscosity of the fluid around the axis of symmetry of the tube is larger than the viscosity of the fluid that surrounds it and gravity acts against the applied pressure gradient. A pseudo-spectral numerical method is coupled with an implicit second order time-integration scheme to solve the complete mass and momentum conservationequations as an initial value problem. The simulations originate with the analytical solution for the pressure driven, steady, core-annular flow(CAF) in a tube. In order to replicate as closely as possible the experimental conditions reported by Bai, Chen and Joseph (1992), the volume fraction of each fluid in the tube and the total flow rate of both fluids are imposed. Furthermore, the length of the tube is taken to be as long as computationally possible in order to allow for multiple waves of different lengths to develop and interact as reported in the experiments and in earlier weakly nonlinear analyses. Having performed simulations of CAF for conditions under which the reported flow charts indicate that both phases retain their integrity but the original steady flow is unstable, it was found that indeed traveling waves develop with slightly sharper crests (pointing towards the annular fluid) than troughs, the so-called "bamboo waves." Despite the uneven interface, the flow in the core fluid closely resembles Poiseuille flow, but in the annular fluid small recirculation zones develop at the level of each crest. As the Reynolds number or the flow rate of the core fluid increase, the average wavelength and the amplitude of these waves decrease, whereas the holdup ratio of the core to the annular fluid approaches two. Their specific values for each examined case are in closer agreement with the experiments than in earlier theoretical reports. For large values of interfacial tension, waves with even different wavelength move with the same velocity, whereas for small values, they attain variable velocities and approach or repel each other but no wave merging or splitting is observed.
Physics of oscillatory flow and its effect on the mass transfer and separation of species13(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1351549View Description Hide Description
The mass transport of species in the presence of oscillating flow is calculated for a flow generated by an oscillating pressure drop. Calculations have been done for several binary systems where two dilute species are transported in the presence of a carrier. It is observed that there are multiple frequencies of the imposed oscillation at which the total mass transport of each species is the same. These frequencies, called crossover frequencies, are obtained by way of a graphical intersection when the total mass transport is plotted against the imposed frequency. Explanations on the occurrence of these crossover frequencies are put forth in terms of time constants due to the kinematicviscosity,diffusion coefficients, and the periodicity of the flow. Consequently, these explanations give an idea of the separation of species in pulsatile flow.
Modification of a vortex street by a polymer additive13(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1347962View Description Hide Description
A Kármán vortex street is created in a flowing soap film by a rod penetrating the film. The velocity field generated by this rod is modified by the addition of the polymer polyethylene oxide having a molecular weight of and a concentration of 30 wppm. The rms velocity fluctuations behind the rod are strongly suppressed by the polymer additive and the power spectrum of the velocity fluctuations is modified as well. The experiments show that the polymer additive decreases the rate at which energy is injected into the flow. The measurements further indicate that the polymer introduces an elongational viscosity term into the Navier–Stokes equation.
The linear stability of a ridge of fluid subject to a jet of air13(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1345720View Description Hide Description
In this paper we investigate the linear stability of an initially symmetric two-dimensional thin ridge of Newtonian fluid of finite width on a horizontal planar substrate acting under the influence of a symmetric two-dimensional jet of air normal to the substrate. Ridges both with and without a dry patch at their center are considered. For both problems we examine both the special case of quasistatic motion (corresponding to zero capillary number) analytically and the general case of nonzero capillary number numerically. In all cases the ridge is found to be unconditionally unstable, but the nature and location of the most unstable mode are found to depend on the details of the specific problem considered.
The interaction of two vortices on a beta-plane13(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1351858View Description Hide Description
Two motion of two interactingvortices in the presence of a background gradient of potential vorticity due to the β-effect is considered. The vortices, and their interaction, are modeled using a two-layer, quasigeostrophic model. The paper extends that of McDonald [Philos. Trans. R. Soc. London, Ser. A 456, 1029 (2000)] who, using a similar model, considered only steady configurations of zonally aligned vortices, i.e., lying along the same parallel of latitude. Here Green's function techniques are used to calculate the velocity of one vortex due to the presence of the Rossby wave wake of the other. This enables consideration of the more general case of vortices having arbitrary relative location, the only requirement being that the vortices are well-separated (i.e., several Rossby radii apart). An additional quasisteady approximation enables the time evolution of vortices to be studied. Of particular interest is the existence of equilibrium configurations in which the vortices do not move relative to each other and maintain their orientation with respect to the direction defined by the gradient of the background potential vorticity field. It is shown that necessary conditions for equilibrium are that the vortices are (a) of equal strength, or (b) aligned zonally. The stability of equilibria to small perturbations in the relative location of the vortices is investigated and the equilibria found to be weakly unstable in that the vortex trajectories drift slowly (but not exponentially fast) from their equilibrium paths. This is verified by numerical computation of the trajectories near equilibrium. For equal strength vortices not in equilibrium the distance between the vortices remains constant, but the line joining the two vortices rotates with constant angular velocity. For this case, examples of the trajectories of the individual vortices and the center of mass are given. For vortices of differing strength and arbitrary initial configurations, the motion is, in general, complicated. Some examples are presented.
Maximal mixing rate in turbulent stably stratified Couette flow13(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1351856View Description Hide Description
A rigorous upper bound on the long-time-averaged vertical buoyancy flux is derived from the Navier–Stokes equations for a Boussinesq fluid confined between two parallel horizontal plates a distance apart, maintained at a constant statically stabilizing temperature difference and driven at a constant relative velocity The upper bound on the volume and long-time-averaged vertical buoyancy flux is where and is some reference density. Significantly, is independent of the bulk Richardson number of the flow and is achieved by an optimal solution with a mixing efficiency (or flux Richardson number) which approaches 0.5 as the Reynolds number becomes large. The time-averaged turbulent dissipation of kinetic energy and the time-averaged vertical buoyancy flux are then in equipartition for the optimizing flow.
Chaotic advection by two interacting finite-area vortices13(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1352626View Description Hide Description
This article deals with the advection of fluid particles in the velocity field of two identical vortices with various vorticity distributions. The two-dimensional velocity field is aperiodic in the range of parameters studied here, namely, the neighborhood of the critical distance for merger. Ideas and methods from the theory of transport in dynamical systems are used to describe and quantify particle advection. These methods are applied to the numerical representation of the velocity field, which is obtained by solving the Euler equations with the vortex-in-cell method. It is found that the strongest stirring of vortexfluid occurs slightly above the critical distance for merger. In this regime the fluid located between the vortices is subjected to intense stirring, and some vortexfluid may be entrained into the chaotic region depending on the smoothness of the vorticity distribution. Initial conditions below the critical distance lead to stirring of fluid mainly before merger. In this case the flow geometry is used to quantify the efficiency of merger, which is defined as the ratio of the circulation of the resultant vortex to the total circulation of the original vortices. It is found that the vortices with the smoothest vorticity profile have the lowest efficiency. Experimental visualizations in a two-dimensional rotating fluid confirm the intense stretching and folding of fluid elements that occurs before the vortices merge.
Mixing of a passive scalar near a free surface13(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1350898View Description Hide Description
We study numerically and analytically the mixing of a passive scalar in turbulent shear flow with a free surface. The Navier–Stokes and scalar mixing equations are solved by direct numerical simulation. We find that the mean concentration of the scalar exhibits a two-layer structure near the free surface: an outer layer, characterized by a fast reduction in the value of the turbulent diffusivity of the scalar, and a much thinner inner layer characterized by a fast reduction of the mean concentration gradient. We develop a similarity theory for the variation of the mean concentration, which agrees very well with the numerical results and provides us with scaling relations for the thickness of each layer.
Numerical investigation of the scalar probability density function distribution in neutral and stably stratified mixing layers13(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1352622View Description Hide Description
Direct numerical simulations of a temporally-growing mixing layer are performed to examine how the resulting concentration probability density function (PDF) of an advected, nearly nondiffusive, passive scalar (numerical dye) varies under the combined effects of stable stratification, thermal conductivity, and perturbation of the initial velocity field. In stably-stratified mixing layers convective instabilities are responsible for the development of streamwise vortices or ribs. These exhibit shorter spanwise separation than in nonstratified shear layers and lead to differences in the subsequent three-dimensionalization of the flow field. Furthermore, vortex development is very efficiently suppressed by stratification in high-thermally-conducting fluids, because only small temperature gradients arise and thus negligible baroclinic vorticity reinforcement is available to counterbalance the stabilizing effects of buoyancy. This is reflected in smaller mixed-fluid total PDF areas with decreasing Prandtl number. The effect of coherent structures on the PDF distribution is seen to be significant. The main rolls are the cause of "global-concentration" mixing, i.e., mixing of fluid lumps with vastly different species concentration, reflected in nonmarching PDF peaks, where the peak of the PDF is located at a constant concentration value. Ribs, on the other hand, having shorter spatial extent and engendering mixing on a narrower concentration range, cause "local-concentration" mixing, which translates into marching PDF peaks. The combined action of the spanwise vortices rolling up, or pairing, and the ribs, may then give rise to tilted PDF distributions, which are intermediate between nonmarching and marching. The "pairing parameter," used to predict the transition from nonmarching to marching PDFs, was found not to be reliable, small values being sufficient to allow the PDF to be marching in stratified flow. The scalar mean, and the scalar mean-mixed-fluid, concentrations are also investigated and are seen to deviate considerably from each other, depending on the strength and coherence of the vortical structures, the imposed stratification, and the thermal conductivity.
A numerical study of dynamics of a temporally evolving swirling jet13(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1350876View Description Hide Description
Direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a swirling jet near the outlet of a nozzle with axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric disturbances is performed to investigate the dynamic characteristics of the flow. The early (linear) stage of the jet evolution agrees well with the predictions of linear stability theory. In the nonlinear stage, the axisymmetric DNS shows that the interaction between the primary vortex ring and the streamwise columnar vortex creates a secondary vortex structure with opposite azimuthal vorticity near the columnar vortex. Then a vortex pair consisting of the primary and secondary vortices forms and travels radially away from the symmetry axis, causing a rapid increase of the thickness of mixing layer. The non-axisymmetric DNS shows that the streamwise vortex layer developed in the early stage of evolution due to azimuthal instability breakdowns into small eddies under the joint stretch of the axial and azimuthal shear. The results reveal several mechanisms of mixing enhancement by swirl, i.e., the radial motion of vortex ring pairs, the rapid growth of streamwise vorticity, and the creation of three-dimensional small eddies. They are all favorable for fluid entrainment in swirling jets.
Nonlinear three-mode interactions in a developing mixing layer13(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1351857View Description Hide Description
A formulation based on the integral energy method is presented for the nonlinear interaction problem between three large-scale coherent modes in a developing, laminar, free shear layer. Both binary and three-mode nonlinear, modal energy and phase interactions are included. The modal evolution and the development of the mean flow are very sensitive to the initial energy contents and phases of the participating modes. A strong nonlinear coupling of the modal phase variations with the variations of the modal energies is shown to exist and is responsible for the rapid reversal of the intermodal energy interactions in favor of the occasionally declining mode. This nonlinear mechanism preserves the higher frequency modes far downstream and is shown to contribute to the appearance of mean flow contraction observed in experiments through local collective return of energy to the mean by all modes. Depending on initial conditions, our results support the arguments of R. A. Petersen and R. C. Clough ["The influence of higher harmonics on vortex pairing in an axisymmetric mixing layer," J. Fluid Mech. 239, 81 (1992)] and M. R. Hajj, R. W. Miksad, and E. J. Powers ["Subharmonic growth by parametric resonance," ibid. 236, 35 (1992)] according to which three-mode resonances are more efficient than the binary ones. Two cases relevant to situations where the first and second subharmonics of the most amplified mode are forced involving the 3/2 harmonic and 2/3 subharmonic, respectively, are examined. Comparisons of the calculations with experimental results indicate good qualitative agreement.
Linear stability of laminar plane Poiseuille flow of helium II under a nonuniform mutual friction forcing13(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1352628View Description Hide Description
The calculation of the stability characteristics of superfluidhelium II is complicated by the fact that we have to consider the interaction of two velocity fields: the normal fluid and the superfluid. We consider 2D channel flow and concentrate on the linear stability of the normal fluid under a mutual friction forcing from the superfluid. The linear stability of the superfluid component is also briefly discussed. We consider nonuniform distributions of superfluidvorticity, leading to a nonuniform mutual friction forcing. We derive a modified Orr–Sommerfeld equation for the stability of the normal fluid component and find the neutral stability curves for the normal fluid. We identify a new branch to the neutral stability curve, which can significantly lower the critical Reynolds number of the normal fluid flow.
Spatial theory of optimal disturbances in a circular pipe flow13(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1352624View Description Hide Description
A spatial theory of linear transient growth for disturbances in a circular pipe is presented. Following from the consideration of a signaling problem, the spatial development of disturbances downstream of a source may be presented as a sum of decaying eigenmodes. Therefore, the problem of optimal disturbances in the pipe flow may be considered as an initial value problem on the subset of the downstream decaying eigenmodes, and a standard optimization procedure may be applied for evaluation of the optimal transient growth. Examples are presented for spatial transient growth of axisymmetric and nonaxisymmetric disturbances. It is shown that stationary disturbances may achieve more significant transient growth than nonstationary ones. The maximum of the transient growth exists at azimuthal index for stationary perturbations, whereas nonstationary perturbations may achieve their maxima at higher azimuthal indices.
An approximate deconvolution model for large-eddy simulation with application to incompressible wall-bounded flows13(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1350896View Description Hide Description
The approximate deconvolutionmodel(ADM) for the large-eddy simulation of incompressible flows is detailed and applied to turbulent channel flow. With this approach an approximation of the unfiltered solution is obtained by repeated filtering. Given a good approximation of the unfiltered solution, the nonlinear terms of the filtered Navier–Stokes equations can be computed directly. The effect of nonrepresented scales is modeled by a relaxation regularization involving a secondary filter operation. Large-eddy simulations are performed for incompressible channel flow at Reynolds numbers based on the friction velocity and the channel half-width of and Both simulations compare well with direct numerical simulation (DNS) data and show a significant improvement over results obtained with classical subgrid scale models such as the standard or the dynamic Smagorinsky model. The computational cost of ADM is lower than that of dynamic models or the velocity estimation model.
Budgets of Reynolds stress, kinetic energy and streamwise enstrophy in viscoelastic turbulent channel flow13(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1345882View Description Hide Description
The budgets of the Reynolds stress, turbulent kinetic energy and streamwise enstrophy are evaluated through direct numerical simulations for the turbulent channel flow of a viscoelasticpolymer solution modeled with the Finitely Extensible Nonlinear Elastic with the Peterlin approximation (FENE-P) constitutive equation. The influence of viscoelasticity on the budgets is examined through a comparison of the Newtonian and the viscoelastic budgets obtained for the same constant pressure drop across the channel. It is observed that as the extensional viscosity of the polymer solution increases there is a consistent decrease in the production of Reynolds stress in all components, as well as in the other terms in the budgets. In particular, the effect of the flowelasticity, which is associated with the reduction in the intensity of the velocity-pressure gradient correlations, potentially leads to a redistribution of the turbulent kinetic energy among the streamwise, the wall-normal and the spanwise directions. In this work, we also show that in the presence of viscoelasticity there is a significant reduction in all components of the production of streamwise enstrophy. This is consistent with a proposed mechanism for polymer-induced drag reduction through the inhibition of vortex stretching by the high extensional viscosity of the polymer solution.
Effect of wall boundary condition on scalar transfer in a fully developed turbulent flume13(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1350899View Description Hide Description
We performed direct numerical simulation of fully developed turbulent velocity and temperature fields in a flume, for Reynolds number, based on the wall shear velocity and the height of the flume, and Prandtl numbers and To elucidate exactly the role of the wall boundary condition for passive scalar, the system considered was the flow at constant properties of the fluid. Two types of thermal wall boundary conditions (BCs) for the dimensionless temperature equation were studied: isothermal wall boundary condition—H1, and isoflux wall boundary condition—H2. The profile of the mean temperature was not affected by the type of BC. However, the type of BC has a profound effect on the statistics of the temperature fluctuations in the near-wall region Comparison of near-wall statistics of temperature fluctuations shows that at the buffer part of the turbulent boundary layer significantly influences the scalar transfer in the conductive sublayer, whereas at the near-wall temperature field may be associated with predominant motion in the viscous sublayer.

Garcinia Cambogia What Fruit Is It And How It Looks
Ok so I have a long-awaited testimony…earlier this year (March) I made my order. Mid to late April I received it. I started my diet and exercise plan the following Monday. I weighed in at 196 lbs…my second week I weighed in at 193…3rd week it was 189 & 4th week it was 185…5th week I continued but when it came time to weigh in I was at 190 & then 194 & then the last week (before quitting) I was at a new high record of 205 lbs!!! ***Please continue to read on before you jump to conclusions! *** a couple weeks later I was at 215 & my habits hadn't changed. I ended up getting some tests done and learned that I needed to have a major surgery done- a total colectomy, which was able to be done laparoscopic. My surgery was September 12th and I dropped down to 186 lbs…first 2 wks after surgery I was walking like crazy and then I started light aerobics…October 1st I was still at 186 so I consulted my PCP who put me on phentermine because pre-surgery I hardly had an appetite unless it was a fruit or salad here and there to post-surgery craving sugars and sweets and anything imaginable. Phentermine was working the first 2 weeks..October 14th I was at 176. Usually you're expected to lose 1-2 lbs/week on phentermine but the 3rd week…nothing and the 4th week nothing again…I came across my box of cambodia garcinia and decided to give it a try…since November 3rd when I was at 176 lbs & had stopped my phentermine I lost almost 12 pounds. Now I know thats like 3 weeks and averaging 4 lbs a week but this stuff is not only more consistent with weight loss and curving your appetite but I feel even better than the phentermine made me. I have no side effects with cambodia garcinia. energy, no more restless nights, no cravings, even drinking more water! When i feel full of energy I don't get dizzy or faint, much as I did when I was on phentermine. With phentermine I was taking a melatonin tablet at night to sleep and still no such luck…I threw the rest of my phentermine away along with my melatonin after the 2nd night. I've been a lot less emotional as well. My goal is to be at 150 lbs by New Year's Eve…and I have absolutely NO DOUBT that I'll struggle achieving my goal using this
