Michael Meeropol: Another Fight For The Soul Of The Democratic Party Is Brewing By Michael Meeropol • Jun 3, 2016 Listen Listening... / 4:01 I began doing these commentaries in 2005. In 2006, after the Democrats took control of Congress, I delivered a commentary noting that a battle for the soul of the Democratic Party was brewing. On the one hand there were a set of policies proposed and adopted by the "triangulator" Bill Clinton. (Triangulation referred to his ability to oppose most of his own party and the Republicans at the same time – first playing one then the other against his two adversaries.) These policies included NAFTA, which would not have passed without Republican support. They included so-called welfare reform, which Senator Daniel Moynihan correctly identified as abolition and not reform. During Clinton's eight years there was no improvement in opportunities for workers to join unions. There was however, ridiculous focus on budget balance and what turned out to be disastrous financial deregulation? Despite record job growth and for a few years very low rates of unemployment, inequality actually increased during the entire 8 year period.

Competitive Summer
Monday, June 27, 2011
Susan Boyd
Every summer offers some exciting soccer competition. Occasionally that competition only comes along every four years, so don't miss the Women's World Cup which began yesterday in Germany.
The US Women are playing in Group C with North Korea, Sweden, and Colombia. Their first game is Tuesday, June 28, at 12:15 p.m. ET on ESPN/ESPN3.com/Galavision. The quarterfinals will be July 9 and 10 with Group C playing the latter date at either 7 a.m. ET (1
place team in group) or 11:30 a.m. ET (2
place team in group) on ESPN. Semi-finals will be July 13 and finals will be July 17. In fact every single game of the World Cup will be broadcast on ESPN or ESPN2 with several games also broadcast in Spanish on Galavision. These weeks offer the opportunity for young soccer players, both girls and boys, to watch some top level competition.
Although I would normally encourage young soccer players to be outdoors in the summer practicing and playing the game, I make an exception here and suggest players pick a few games to watch during the week. Students of the game improve their play significantly by understanding the overall dynamics that teams develop and use. Watching how teams both attack and defend, how individual players move with and off the ball, and how plays develop absolutely augment a young person's soccer education. Print off the schedule at ESPN.com and highlight some games to enjoy.
Speaking of competition, this year's U.S. Youth Soccer National Championship will be held in Phoenix, Arizona at Reach II Sports Complex July 26 through July 31. The top boys and girls teams in age groups U-14 through U-19 will compete for national honors. Regions III and IV have already selected their participants, Region II does so this week in the Fox Cities area of Wisconsin, and Region I will wrap things up next week in Lancaster, Pa. These competitions showcase some of the future talent in soccer, so if you live nearby you should try to see some games especially those in your own player's age group.
We don't get the complete picture of what our players can aspire to until we step outside of our own leagues and our usual competitors to see the next level of play. Because America doesn't have the same immersion in soccer that most of the rest of the world experiences, we can miss out on how physical, intelligent, and fast soccer can be. One thing I remember from the first Region II Championship I attended was the speed of play and the fitness of the players. Each time I watch the best youth teams compete I gain a greater appreciation of how athletic and smart soccer players need to be to play at the top levels.
Weekly competitions in Major League Soccer can be seen either live or in delayed broadcasts on a large number of television outlets. Fans can now watch just about every single MLS game on channels such as ESPN, Fox Soccer Channel, GolTV, and Direct Kick. Additionally several of the games of the Women's Professional Soccer league can be seen on Fox and Time-Warner Cable Sports. This expansion of TV markets shows the increased interest in and influence of soccer in America. Soccer families should get in the habit of watching both U.S. and International soccer since those matches provide a great road map through the world of soccer skills and tactics. Watching soccer together as a family validates your child's choice of the sport and provides a topic for discussion that everyone can share in.
Even though most youth soccer players have a break from the sport for some of the summer, it doesn't mean that players can't be developing in other ways. Take some time this season to enjoy soccer matches on TV. You'll find yourself getting excited about certain teams and players. That enthusiasm can be a driving force to get you and your kids more invested in the sport and to help your kids improve their game through example. Use some of the best competition this summer to raise the bar both on playing and enjoying the game.
Honorable Position
Monday, June 20, 2011

Hold me back! Every time I hear about youth teams, coaches, players, and/or parents putting winning ahead of development and ethics I get crazy. Mike Woitalla in his blog last week in
Soccer America
told the story of a Nebraska team who facilitated the victory of its opponent, another team from his club, so that they could go on to the state championship competition. The coach directed his team to allow the opponents to score a goal at the end of 0-0 tie giving the opponent the win which propelled them through to the state championship games. He knew his team couldn't advance regardless of the outcome, but he also knew that the opposing team from his club would advance with a win. These machinations came to light when the coach told the opponent's coach of his actions. I'm sure he expected a big thank you, but to the coach's credit she reported the incident.
Now the entire process has been thrown into a tizzy requiring a replay of the games among the three teams contending for a spot in the finals. Worse several dozen girls were thrown into an ugly situation. The girls on the team who allowed the goal were put in the position of being asked to do something unethical by their coach, the girls on the "winning" team were put in the position of moving on to the finals knowing that it wasn't directly their skill that advanced them, and the girls on the other teams in contention to advance to the finals were denied the honest opportunity to advance. Peripherally there are parents, officials, club board members, and state association staff who have been tainted by this action. We can talk about other factors which have affected the outcomes of games such as bad refereeing or weather delays, but these factors come from within the agreed upon parameters of the game. We need to accept, begrudgingly sometimes, that soccer games have variants which we can't control but can ultimately affect the outcome of a game.
We all know the heartbreak of having a goal called back because of a questionable offside call or a player receiving a second yellow card for flimsy reasons leaving her team a player short. But these are part and parcel of a human game where subjectivity can be carefully managed but still affect the results of a game. We tolerate mistakes of human nature because we recognize those mistakes can harm our results sometimes and then boost our results other times. We don't like it when we lose because of a bad call or a small field, but we know that the next game may have factors that benefit our team.
Given the limitations of perfection in any game, at least we all know that the rules attempt to insure fairness. Maximum ages of players are established and enforced rigorously with birth certificates and player passes, referees have to achieve a certain level of expertise to officiate, coaches must be licensed appropriately for the age level of their team, rules have been written and approved for play, equipment must adhere to standards, and all players must be registered with their club or have appropriate guest player certification. State associations and governing agencies such as U.S. Youth Soccer Association carefully set forth rules and guidelines for play in youth soccer. But beyond those official guidelines are the societal ethical guidelines we all understand exist.
We can recognize fairly easily when we are operating outside of the boundaries of ethics. As much as the coach wanted to help his fellow club team, he absolutely knew that doing anything proactively would not be proper. Asking his players to participate in this behavior put them in a terrible quandary: Do they support their coach (and club) or do they stick by their own moral compass? I observed a game once where the coach realized that his team would go through to the finals win or lose, but that the club's archrival team would not advance if his team's opponent won. So he directed his players to score two own goals to assure the victory of his opponent and thereby seal the doom of his archrival. I observed attempts to falsify age documents, to play kids who were not on the roster by having them use a rostered player's pass, and to engineer goal differentials. Most of you have probably observed some improprieties in play, and some of you and/or your children may have been involved in some improprieties. It's not a great position to be in.
As parents we need to reinforce that our kids shouldn't participate in an activity, even one directed by a respected adult, which is outside of the rules of the game. We also need to reinforce that winning at any cost isn't the goal of soccer. It's difficult when you can get so close you can taste victory and yet see it slip away. And it's tempting to help that victory along with questionable assistance. But we have to resist that urge as parents, coaches, and players. You can't be truly triumphant when you know that a win was achieved outside of the rules everyone agrees to follow. Our children need to learn that integrity is the real victory in life. As a society we are programmed to be winners. We want the best grades, the biggest house, to beat the car at the light, to get the best deal on a TV, and to send our kids to the top university. We find it difficult to be content with our normal success and to accept losses along the way. We attach our self-worth to winning, forgetting that wins don't insure satisfaction. Living our lives with honor and enjoyment brings the real triumphs of contentment and pride.
Team Captain
Monday, June 20, 2011
Sam Snow
Not long ago I was asked about the process of selecting a team captain in youth soccer. The question and comments were this:
I have been coaching youth soccer since I was in college back in 1983. I have taken the National Youth Soccer Course, have various other certifications and regularly attend coaching clinics. I have coached several Travel Teams and recreational teams from ages ranging from U6 to U18. I also coached an adult Women's recreation team for six years until two years ago when I stopped coaching. Nevertheless, I am still my town's youth soccer club's vice president. I currently manage my 14 year-old daughter's Travel Team, but I am not the coach. I have a son who plays high school soccer and a younger daughter who plays both U11 Travel and Premiere soccer.
In my twenty-seven years of coaching, I have never appointed or had elections for team captains. Instead I have always used a game captain approach beginning around the U11 age group to reward improved play and to give all the children a taste of being a game captain during the season. While I have researched and I understand the utility and benefits of having team Captains at the high school level and above, I firmly believe that it is inappropriate in youth soccer. Recently, my daughter's U11 Travel Coach held elections and appointed two team captains based upon this vote. Her Premier Team does not have Team Captains, but uses a similar game captain approach that I use.
All of the parents of the children on the team were very surprised that the coach did this. Indeed, they are all looking to me for direction based on my experience and as the club's vice president on whether to approach the coach about our collective disagreement with the use of Team Captains. I have always also believed that other than when asked by the coach that I do not interfere with a coach's decision unless in my role as a board member to enforce disciplinary action. I am very interested in US Youth Soccer's views on the use of team captains in youth soccer and whether you can direct me to some articles on the subject.
US Youth Soccer does not have an official policy on identifying or selecting the team captain or captains. We feel the decision is up to the club to make. If the club does not have a policy in place for the various age groups in the club on the function and selection of captains then the club director of coaching should devise one. From the US Youth Soccer Coaching Department we recommend giving all of the players the opportunity to be the captain at least once per season not just in matches but in training sessions too. That should take place with the U8 to the U14 age groups. The U6 age group does not need team captains in any manner. The U16 and older age groups should have captains voted upon by the players and accredited by the coaching staff. I like these suggestions from Eric McGrath.
How to Pick Captains for a Soccer Team
By Eric McGrath, eHow Contributor
When looking to create a good team bond from a disparate group of soccer players, it is a good idea for the coach to select good captains in order to maintain discipline in the group, to relay tactical developments during a game, and to keep movement from exercise to exercise as efficient as possible. This article looks at some ideas on selecting the right personnel for this important role in any soccer team.
Look within the group for natural leaders. Sometimes these players will lead quietly by example with their behavior and level of play; other times they will be strong vocal personalities. Either way, these personality types will be the most obvious choice for a captaincy.
Decide whether the team will have one captain or many captains…
Decide whether the captains, if more than one, will be co-captains or a head-captain and a vice-captain. Again, the larger the squad, the more sensible it is to delegate leadership to more than one person. Conversely, for a smaller squad, it probably makes sense to have two co-captains or one head captain and a vice-captain.
Observe all possible candidates for captain's roles, and judge them on their presence in the team, the reaction of their teammates towards them, and the methods they use to exert their natural authority on their teammates.
Once a decision has been reached, announce the captains at an opportune time when every player is present. Explain the reasons why the specific player or players were chosen, and make sure everyone on the team supports the decision.
Settle Back
Monday, June 06, 2011
Susan Boyd
This Memorial Day weekend was spent in a quintessential Midwest setting – a small town park with oak and cottonwood trees, a water tower, pavilion, grills, and eleven baseball fields. It was my grandson's baseball tournament for his 9 and 10 year old travel team. I don't remember either Bryce or Robbie being that good at the game at that young of an age. It was impressive to watch these pint-size Jeters and Brauns school us all in the art of baseball. Other than a smaller field, these kids played with major league rules and occasionally major league expectations.
No matter the game, all youth sports share several negatives: the dynamics of parent-child interactions, conflicts with officials, uneven coaching, and reluctance to play on the part of the child. Happily with my grandson's team there seemed to be few negatives. Some parents got a bit intense, especially when the team came close to defeating the state champions, but for the most part parents were either supportive or silent. No one questioned the referees other than an occasional "ooh" when a close pitch wasn't called as we expected. The coaches stayed positive and instructive. Only one time did a player indicate a reluctance to enter the game. Other teams weren't so fortunate with parents making angry demands on the players both during and after the games, coaches who berated the players, and passive-aggressive remarks to the officials. Coming across the best and the worst of youth sports makes me wonder what we can do to smooth out the situation and improve the conditions.
The main difficulty is that those of us who have gone through years of youth sports have the wisdom of experience, but most families have just started the process. Without that perspective of time, it's difficult for parents to realize what could be better. And since most of us have years of participating in and watching adult sports we can only model ourselves after those behaviors. I admit to seeing a fly ball sail past the glove of the left fielder this weekend and muttering, "Oh rats!" knowing that the guy on third was going to score. I'm used to watching Ryan Braun snag those with great confidence and tremendous athletic skill to pull in the impossible ball. Had Braun missed that fly ball, the crowd would have erupted in venomous disappointment. So it's difficult in a youth game to rein in the editorial comments that would spring naturally to a crowd in a professional game. Nevertheless, we parents have an obligation to make that distinction.
How do we keep youth sports not only civil but fun? We parents need to set the tone every step of the way. We need to keep our coaching to a minimum. I know how hard it is to see your child commit the same mistake game after game and not say anything. So pick one big issue to address before each game and only address it once briefly. Keep the majority of remarks upbeat. I also have found that there is peace in numbers. The team parents who remind one another on the sidelines to stay positive do manage to fulfill that behavior. I've watched parents huddle before a game to repeat some variant of a mantra of "Stay positive, no coaching, and respect the referees." The most demonstrative parents know that they have a standard to maintain and that the other parents expect it. As parents we can also help to monitor during the game and issue gentle reminders as some parents get too vocal. I've seen the spectrum from complete decorum to sideline jousting matches between parents on opposing teams. I definitely prefer the former!
It's more difficult when it comes to the coaches. We all want the best coaching we can get for our children. No matter how much we may say we only want our kids to have fun playing sports, we can't help having an eye to the future. What if our son or daughter exhibits both skills and passion for their sport? What if they can excel at the sport? Then they'll need strong coaching and a strong team. So we may find ourselves excusing boorish behavior from coaches because we don't want to risk losing those coaches. Remedies aren't easy. I've attended club board meetings where parents turned in letters to complain about a coach's behavior and had their issues belittled and ultimately ignored. Clubs can get very touchy about their coaching staff since it constitutes a portion of the club's reputation. Parents may reasonably feel powerless to act. Often there's no good choice: stay with the coach or leave the team. I would follow my child's lead, although he or she may also feel that options are limited to unhappy choices. My sons had a great coach who conducted amazing practices and taught the players so much, but in game situations a switch went off and he became more concerned with winning not just the game but every call with the referees. Parents had a hard time reconciling the training coach with the game coach. But we all stuck with him because we recognized that the training he provided our sons ultimately outweighed the sideline behavior during games. And our kids agreed which made the decision easier.
The toughest issue can be when our kids express reluctance to play. We can have a hard time determining why. For some kids the reluctance comes from transitory issues such as their cleats hurt or someone said something mean. For other kids the issues are far more serious such as not enjoying the sport or feeling uncomfortable with the coach. Kids usually have trouble expressing their real reasons because they can feel our expectations and our pride in their participation. They don't want to disappoint us. Letting our kids know that they do have the option, within certain guidelines, to quit a sport gives them the confidence that they have an out if they need or want it. Most parents expect their child to finish the season. That seems reasonable. It sets up a standard that insures kids don't just quit on a whim and doesn't harm the team to which they made a commitment. Often kids end up working through their concerns as they meet their commitment, and if they don't then we have confidence as a parent that those concerns are serious.
Watching our children play sports on a beautiful spring day brings great pride and joy. We need to keep the innocence of youth in mind despite how adult they play. As one of Robbie's teammates told us parents on the sidelines we need to "settle down." And I'll add we need to just enjoy the ride. Whether they win or lose we'll love them just the same, so that should help take the anxiety out of the equation. As the mother of a goalkeeper, I can assure you the less anxiety you feel, the better.

Cafayate to Montevideo, and everything in between
... and very modern with lots of sound and light effects. All the explanations were a little too poetic for our taste, but by the end of the visit we had still learnt a lot about Cafayate and how to make wine. For example, we now know that Cafayate has the highest located vineyards in the world, that it's the second biggest wine district in Argentina and how the altitude, 340 sunny days and a large temperature gap between day and night help the grapes incorporate flavors and keep ...
Got up nice and early to bus it to Montevideo. Tried to steal one of the dogs on the ranch, bebito. Cutie, he was on the bus and everything. Arrived at a very lovely hotel but the city looked really run down and grey on the way in. The girls walked to a park, in the top ten sights. It was slightly scary....like ...
A pleasant stay in a small country: Uruguay
... be honest, there is not a huge amount to do apart from visit the star attraction of El Mercado del Puerto, the famous meat markets. We first heard of these markets when taking a tour of Santiago, Chile, where we visited the equally famous fish markets that had been constructed at the same time in the UK, during the 1800's. There had apparently been a mix up and the two cast iron structures had been shipped to the wrong destinations, but it is difficult to tell as they both ...
Ferry Ride to Uruguay
... set up like a plane, except by boat. We also got to pick our seats which was key so get in line early! We sat by the window of course and were ready to enjoy the scenery. The boat had a taxfree shop, some cafe's on board, and places to eat at. It was set up really cute!
We got to Colonia, Uruguay a little after 10 AM (11 AM in Uruguay) so it took us a little over an hour to get there. From there we got our luggage and got on the bus which headed to Montevideo and left at ...
The blue-white legendary historicity of football
... central areas of Montevideo are not as cosy as La Ciudad Vieja, nor as vibrant come nightfall. My hotel was situated on the pub street, and if I ever was in doubt that I was in a town, I would not need to look furter than next door. Lo and, indeed, behold: There was an Irish pub! An interesting lack of Guinness, Magners and Kilkenny was made up for by the local brews of Pilsen, Mastra and Davok; all of which boasted a lager and an oscura (stout-y but not as full-bodied). Mastra had ...

By Bob Reinert, USAG-Natick Public AffairsJuly 27, 2012
NATICK, Mass. (July 27, 2012) -- Science can have profound impacts on Soldiers' lives.
That message came through loud and clear July 26 at Natick Soldier Systems Center, or NSSC, where basic research scientists from the Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center, known as NSRDEC, offered their inaugural "Science for the Soldier Day."
The idea was to demonstrate the connection between basic science and the new technologies used by Soldiers in the field. NSRDEC researchers accomplished that by using 25 hands-on, interactive displays in NSSC's Lord Community Center. The displays covered everything from mood and cognition to converting waste to energy.
For NSSC community members, the displays shed light on some of what happens behind laboratory doors at Natick.
"People get to tell their story," said Jane Simpson, executive assistant to the NSRDEC chief scientist.
One of those with an entertaining story was Tad Brunye, who exudes enthusiasm for his job. If you like to believe that you have an innate sense of direction, however, Brunye may challenge that. As a member of the NSRDEC Cognitive Science Team who last year earned one of the prestigious Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers, why would Brunye steer you wrong?
"People don't even realize what they're considering when they're navigating in an environment," Brunye said. "There (are) actually predictable ways that they are biased."
Brunye's studies into spatial performance have produced data that shows these biases.
"People actually prefer the long and straight route leading towards a destination," Brunye said. "They don't like the curvy route, even though that long, straight route might end up longer."
According to Brunye, left-handers equate the left with positive things and the right with negative things. Right-handers have the opposite bias.
"The way that we exert positive change onto our environment," said Brunye, "is through our dominant hands."
And Brunye's research has its ups and downs -- literally.
"People associate the north direction with uphill," said Brunye, "the south direction with downhill."
How does Brunye's research translate to the battlefield?
"You can use this to predict not just the behavior of a Soldier out in the environment, but the behavior of an adversary," said Brunye, "for instance, someone fleeing from an IED (improvised explosive device) site."
While Brunye discussed people's interpretations of the world around them, Chris Drew was talking about the huge benefits of something they can't even see.
"We're working on some nanomaterials for a whole bunch of different uses -- nanoparticles and nanofibers, primarily," Drew said. "The idea is (with) nanomaterials, as you make them smaller, you get more service area for the same amount of materials."
Drew used Soldiers' protective gloves as an example. Nanofibers can make it possible to produce thinner gloves that won't lose their protective qualities, which improves dexterity.
"If you increase the path that a molecule of liquid or a molecule of gas has to travel to get to your skin you can have a thinner material. The time to penetration can be the same for a thinner material," Drew said. "You get the same amount of protection with less material. You get a better dexterity with the same amount of protection."
Storing energy in uniforms is another goal of nanotechnology research at NSRDEC.
"You're already wearing a jacket. You're already wearing a shirt," Drew said. "Some of your power could come from that. That's one less thing you have to carry around, to worry about."
Tyler Brown also was thinking about what Soldiers must carry. Downstairs in the Lord Community Center, he helped visitors pull on 88 pounds of gear and do a few agility tests that would be much easier without that weight.
"The idea is, it's much easier to grasp," said Brown of Soldier loads. "If you actually do it, you go, 'Oh.'"
"The little kids loved it. They thought it was cool to put on the equipment. It's a good way to demonstrate the concept."
As Brown pointed out, load carriage studies were once done primarily on treadmills to assess how biomechanics change.
"How often does somebody out on the battlefield walk a treadmill?" Brown said. "What we're trying to do is take the research to the next step, where we bring in more operation-related tasks to do an assessment of the effects of load carriage.
"We're going to start looking for transitional periods of movement, where a Soldier starts walking and has to change direction -- so a walk to a run, a run to a stop, and running to cutting to get under cover, to get out of the way -- those sorts of things. We think it's that period of time where there's the serious degradation of performance, where performance is seriously affected."

Impact Soundworks - Shreddage 2 (Kontakt)
Impact Soundworks Shreddage 2 - sample library rhythm guitar, features the ultra aggressive sound of a legendary 7-string heavy metal guitar, which is the successor Shreddage, released in 2010, and has won considerable popularity among producers and composers all over the world. A second version of the library brings ease of use and a new standard of realism guitar sound. Library focuses exclusively on rhythm and performance, and will be an ideal complement to other virtual instruments acting as the lead instrument.
The Shreddage 2 guitar: a Japanese classic that is perhaps the most popular hard rock & metal axe ever created. It has a bright, biting and aggressive tone emphasizing the pick and attack of each note, compared with the much darker sound of Shreddage II. All crucial articulations were sampled, from sustains, power chords, mutes (up to 6 layers) and tremolo, to pinch & normal harmonics, slides, scrapes, hammer-on/pull-off and more. As with Shreddage II, everything has lots of variations, down/upstroke samples, and recordings of the same note across multiple strings for maximum realism.

Over 13,000+ 24-bit samples
Bright and aggressive DI (clean) tone
Up to 8x RR variations per note

Thai cookery is really a balancing act between the five primary flavours of salty, sweet, sour, bitter and hot. Although the food has a reputation for being very spicy, many dishes are milder and more aromatic, thanks to the use of fragrant herbs and citrus fruit.
The frequent use of coconut, peanuts and satay mean that Thai food is not always a dieter's dream but follow these lower cal recipes and the only thing to get hot under the collar about is the chilli, not the calories!
Most of these ingredients can be found in a supermarket, either with the fresh herbs or in the jars and bottles section, in the case of nam pla (Thai fish sauce). Dried lime leaves might only be available from an Asian market.
Adjust the flavourings to find the balance that suits you best and remember to remove the seeds from chillies if you prefer a milder flavour – keep them in for a hotter curry. Replace chicken with any other meat, fish, tofu or vegetables if you prefer.
Tom yam gai
Poach a medium-sized chicken fillet in 1 litre of water until cooked through – around 10-12 minutes. Remove the chicken from the poaching liquid and set aside. To the poaching liquor, add a crushed clove of garlic, a stalk of lemon grass, chopped into 5 cm pieces and flattened slightly, 2 dried lime leaves, 4 spring onions, chopped into 2cm slices and 1 or 2 sliced red chillies, depending on taste.
Boil for 10 minutes. Now add the juice of a lime, 1 tsp of sugar, ½ - 1 tbs of nam pla, again depending on taste, and lots of fresh, chopped coriander. Fantastic!
Makes 2 servings. Nutrition information: 120 calories and 3g of fat per serving.
Pad thai
Pad Thai traditionally uses peanuts or cashew nuts with dried shrimp but I have replaced these here with prawns – these are easier to find than dried shrimp and much lower in fat than nuts.
Soak 2 pieces of dried egg noodles in boiling water for 3-4 minutes or until softened, and drain. Heat ½ tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or non-stick frying pan, add 2 crushed cloves of garlic and cook until golden. Add an egg and cook for just a few seconds, stirring well.
Add in the softened noodles and stir well with the egg and garlic. Now add 2 tsp lemon juice, ½ -1 tbs nam pla, ½ tsp sugar, ½ tsp chilli powder, 30g bean sprouts, 2 sliced spring onions and 100g of cooked prawns. Cook for another couple of minutes before serving.
Makes 2 servings. Nutrition information: 170 calories and 8g of fat per serving.
Green chicken curry
In a food processor, mix together 2 cloves of garlic, 2cm ginger, peeled and sliced, a stalk of lemon grass, cut into 5cm pieces, 1 green and 1 red chilli (or more if you prefer a hotter curry) and ½ tbsp vegetable oil. Blend to form a paste. Heat the paste in a non-stick frying pan or wok.
Add a finely chopped onion and 2 chicken fillets, cut into 2cm chunks, and cook until evenly browned. Now add 2 lime leaves, ½ - 1 tbsp nam pla, the juice of a lime and enough reduced fat coconut milk to just cover the ingredients – around 200ml. Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and serve with green vegetables such as broccoli and mange tout, fragrant rice and plenty of fresh, chopped coriander.
Makes 2 servings. Nutrition information: 240 calories and 12g of fat per serving.

The mountains are not really like any I've seen before. For starters, it's not easy to envisage their shape mainly because, as I said, they are largely covered in pines and assorted firs.

IIRC, and I think I do, you reuse none of those standoffs. I only needed the bracket for my armrest delete. I still love it...store my shuffle in the rear ashtray...which they do make a plain box for, btw. Also, I worked on that seam from the carpet for a while...I'd brush, spritz with water and brush some more. Push it down...heated it up. It's still there, but I don't notice it much...and it's not that bad.
Enjoy the mod...which really isn't a mod, per se, or is it? I hate mods...don't want a second one besides my ziptie gps mount. Not one of you has adopted it yet. Too bad...don't know what you're missing!

Went here while travelling. We were able to get a table without a reservation. Tried the goulash with spaetzel. It was excellent. Service was great until the end when it took 20 minutes to get the bill! We had to ask twice.
We visited the Welscher Stub'n based on previous Trip Advisor recommendations, and were not disappointed. Despite it being our first visit, we were greeted warmly by the owner and shown immediately to a table. The staff were efficient and friendly. The menu was varied, and we were offered daily specials which were not on the menu - as it turns...
A traditional Austrian restaurant located in the city center! Try the Pumpkin Seed Schnitzel and the pumpkin soup!
Very friendly staff, nice and cosy interior and silent atmosphere. We had beer from draft and snitchel for food. Ok prices and fast delivery of food.
I think you would come here if you had something special to celebrate. For us it was our last night in the city with some friends and relatives of one of our party so it was something that little bit extra. Service was efficient and faultless, the food was well proportioned, tasty and nicely served: wine and beer was of...
Wanted to have some Styrian fare and got it. Appetizer plate and Backhendl (fried chicken) salad, followed by the Tafelspitz (beef with potatoes and pumpkin) and the Wiener Schnitzel, both excellent.
Also, the wine was nice and service super-friendly.
For Korean readers who crave some of their home food - try the "Scharfe Steirer", ask for rice instead of potatoes and you will be in heaven. It is identical to Jaeyuk-bokum..
We had several other dishes, all were excellent and their wine list is perfectly put together and reasonably priced (go for Gelber Muskateller - wow). Service is very...
We were celebrating my graduation on Friday evening and it was wonderful! Service is excellent and I had opportunity to change my plate a little bit, I wanted to have risotto instead of simple potatoes, worked out perfectly!
Came across this place while wandering the streets to find a casual place to eat.
I ordered the trout and my partner the veal schnitzel
Both were delicious and tasty. The wait staff were all very attentive, friendly and helpful
We had the studel to finish off for dessert and that was also nice! Will recommend!
I was invited to a business dinner in Graz at Welscher Stubn and the food was great with large portions as usual in Graz. Friendly and service minded staff. I can recommend most of the dishes, no one was disappointed after the dinner.

I wrote a post today about choosing a tow vehicle. It wasn't THAT big of a deal during the tiny house build but it became one when transitioning to the RV community. However, in retrospect it should have been a bigger deal because of the risk factor taken when towing your house down the road. I tell you, if you think trailers have a lot of acronyms dealing with weight and such try looking at the difference in pickup trucks (payload weight, gross weight, torque, HP, gear ratio, transmission flip, brake psi, etc).

Recently, Blogger introduced a new clean interface designed for a streamlined blogging experience. While some Bloggers including me,are enjoying the new Blogger interface, some are not. If you have switched to the new Blogger interface and not yet comfortable with it, you can still switch back to the old Blogger dashboard.
How To Get Started
Log in to your blog at www.blogger.com or www.blogspot.com
Look at the top-right corner and click on the "Blogger options" icon.
You will see a drop-down list as seen in the picture below:
Click on the "Old Blogger Interface" link.
The page will be automatically refreshed and switched back to the old Blogger dashboard.
That's all.
Please, try and get used to the new Blogger interface because it is loaded with new features not available in the Old Blogger dashboard which includes the Google+1 Counter.
I hope to talk more about this later.

The safety of San Francisco hangs in the balance when General Francis X. Hummel (Ed Harris) and his renegade squad of US Marines take over the abandoned Alcatraz prison and threaten to launch a poison gas attack on the city if their demands are not met. The FBIs response is to call in Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage) a nerdy weapons expert and John Patrick Mason (Sean Connery) a former SAS man who has been in prison for the last 30 years and send them together into the prison complex. Can this unlikely pairing prevent mass murder? The free world holds its breath.Check stock and price

The contract Cameron Wake signed with the Miami Dolphins had to resonate among pass-rushers in the NFC West.
Wake, 30, signed a four-year extension that could help define parameters for St. Louis' Chris Long, Seattle's Chris Clemons and Arizona's Calais Campbell. That extension was reportedly worth $49 million, with $20 million in guaranteed money.
2010-2011 NFL Sack Leaders
Long, Clemons and Campbell are entering the final year of their contracts, as was Wake.
Scheme differences affect how these players are defined. They are connected by contract status and their ability to rush the passer.
The Cardinals named Campbell their franchise player, setting his value at about $10.6 million for the 2012 season. Long will also earn more than $10 million this season. Clemons' deal pays him $4.6 million in salary for 2012.
Clemons and Wake are similar in that both were undrafted, both are 30 years old and both emerged as prominent players only in the last few seasons.
Seattle values Clemons as a pass-rusher, defensive leader and mentor for new first-round draft choice Bruce Irvin. For those reasons, signing Clemons to an extension could make sense even though Irvin projects as Clemons' eventual successor.
Campbell, 25, plays defensive end in a 3-4 scheme, diminishing his opportunities for sacks (he has 14 over the past two seasons). But as the Cardinals' franchise player, he's in position to command a lucrative extension.
Long, 27, has seen his sack totals grow every season since the Rams made him the second overall choice of the 2008 draft. He had 13 last season.
The chart shows Clemons and Long with about the same sack totals as Wake over the past two seasons. While teams value players for their all-around games, pass-rushing ability carries a premium and sacks are an important measure.
Clemons, Campbell and Long all possess strengths beyond rushing the passer.

Bernard T. Espelage
Bernard Theodore Espelage, O.F.M. (February 16, 1892—February 19, 1971) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He was the first Bishop of Gallup, New Mexico (1940-1969).
Bernard Espelage was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Bernard and Clara (née Schottelkotte) Espelage.[1] He received his early education at parochial schools and Franciscan seminaries.[1] He was invested with the Franciscan habit on August 15, 1910, and made his profession as a member of the Franciscan Order on August 15, 1911.[1] He was later ordained to the priesthood in Oldenburg, Indiana, on May 16, 1918.[2]
He then served as a curate in Roswell, New Mexico, for a year before becoming chancellor of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe in 1919.[1] In 1926 he earned a Licentiate of Canon Law from the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.[1] He served as rector of the Cathedral of St. Francis of Assisi (1934-1939) and afterwards returned to Oldenburg, where he was pastor of Holy Family Church (1939-1940).[1]
On July 20, 1940, Espelage was reassigned to New Mexico as the first Bishop of the Diocese of Gallup by Pope Pius XII.[2] He received his episcopal consecration on the following October 9 from Archbishop John T. McNicholas, O.P., with Bishop Joseph H. Albers and Archbishop Joseph Ritter serving as co-consecrators.[2] He attended all four sessions of the Second Vatican Council between 1962 and 1965. During his 29-year-long tenure, he increased the number of Catholics from 30,000 to 79,260; priests from 32 to 108; and parishes from 17 to 53.[3]
Espelage retired as Bishop of Gallup on August 25, 1969; he was named Titular Bishop of Penafiel by Pope Paul VI on the same date.[2] He later died at age 79.

Chris Harris gets to abuse his fair share of cars that we can only dream about driving, so why not add the Ferrari 458 Spider to that list. After somehow borrowing the keys to a Ferrari-owned 458 Spider, Harris spends about five minutes driving the 570-horsepower, open-air supercar like an "idiot" (his words, not ours).

This is supposed to be AT LAST X LUELLA DEE. This was taken yesterday
morning. It hasn't changed much because it managed the high winds very
well. Has a slightly more noticeable red/orange cast to the falls after one
day and lit by our bright sun. When a novice, and often willfully quirky
dauber, gets something as nice as this one, credit must go to the
hybridizers who provided the parents. In this case that would be Sharon
McAllister and Geoff Wilson.
I have some doubt after seeing it that LD is the guaranteed pollen parent.
If I mixed up pods, it could make this an M&M cross because I think then it
would likely have ANACRUSIS as the pollen parent and Harald Mathes would
have provided the pollen parent. I'm looking forward to seeing a couple of
the siblings bloom.

Calculate the inlet and outlet velociies V1 and V2 using the contiuity equation
V * A = 3000 liters/min = 3*10^6 cm^3/min
A1 = pi*(15)^2 = 706.9 cm^2
A2 = pi*(10)^2 = 314.2 cm^2
= 4244 cm/s = 42.44 m/s
V2 = 95.48 m/s
The steady state energy equation says that
Mdot*(U + P*v + KE + PE)out = Mdot*(U + P*v+ KE+ PE)in + (Power)in
Mdot is the mass flow rate
U is the internal energy, which does not change because inlet and outlet temperatures are equal. KE(per mass) = V^2/2. PE is potential energy which does not change since the inlet and outlet are at the same elevation. P v
is pressure times specific volume, which is the same as pressure divided by density.
The energy equation simplifies to:
Power in = Mdot*[P/density + V^2/2]out -Mdot*[P/density + V^2/2]in
For water, density = constant = 1000 kg/m^3
Mdot = 3 m^3/min * 1000 kg/m^3 = 3000 kg/min = 50 kg/s
First let us calculate the power needed to increase the pressure.
= 50 kg/s*(202*10^5 N/m^2)/1000 kg/m^3
= 60.6*10^6 J/s = 1.01 Megawatts
You need to add to that the additional power needed to increase the kinetic energy
Mdot*[V2^2/2 - V1^2/2]
Take it from there and check my numbers.
A centrifugal pump compresses 3000 liters/min of water from 98 KPa to 300KPa. the inlet and outlet temp are 25°C. The inlet and discharge pipe are on the same level but the diameter of the inlet piping is 15cm whereas that of the discharge piping is 10cm. Determine the pump work in kW
