Lisa Rinna
Lisa Rinna's television career hasn't won her a ton of awards, but it has made her famous enough to appear on ABC's hit reality show Dancing With The Stars. Her roles in Days of Our Lives and Melrose Place have made her something of an icon for the soap set, and her new career as television host and reality show staple proves that there is in fact life after multiple television deaths. She garnered a ton of press when she decided to pose for Playboy for the May 2009 issue. The nude shoot reminded everyone that 45 can still look pretty damn hot, provided you've got your own workout video (which she does) and a really good photo editor.
AppealCall her a MILF, call her a cougar, just don't call her old. Show business can be cruel to the aging, so Lisa Rinna did what any 45-year-old actress would do to prove she's still got it: She posed for Playboy. All it took was one nude photo shoot to spark an office-wide debate at AskMen.com over the topic "Is bush back?" (Unfortunately for Rinna, the answer is no).
Lisa Rinna has appeared on The Howard Stern Show multiple times talking about her sex life with her husband. Although Stern seems more interested in finding out whether or not Rinna partakes in plastic surgery, we like a woman who's brave enough to discuss sex with Howard. Fake or not, Rinna has one of the sexiest pair of lips in Hollywood, paving the way for fellow genetic anomaly Angelina Jolie's rise to fame.

Holland's review of George's Landscaping:
07 / 09 / 2015
Holland writes:
"Do not hire George's Landscaping. He is not honest, doesn't show up when he says he's going to and will try and cut corners to benefit himself. He will promise certain things and then try to omit them hoping you won't notice. I called him out on several items he was trying to leave out, knowing full well that he promised to do them. He comes across as a soft spoken, honest person, but he is anything but honest. He will lie to your face and not bat an eye. It took him a month to complete a job that should have only taken a few days at best. He didn't do a good job on the french drain that he installed for me. When I asked him to fix several items, he said he would. He came back and started to fix one side and then just up and quit leaving a big mess. I paid him in full after I thought the drain was working properly only to find out during the next rain that it wasn't. I am now having to hire another company to fix and complete the mess he made on my property. Do yourself a favor...DO NOT HIRE HIM. You will be as sorry as I am right now."

Retailer Rescinded Accommodation, Then Fired Intellectually Disabled Employee, Federal Agency Charges
ROCKFORD, Ill. - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a lawsuit here yesterday against Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., alleging that the giant retailer fired an intellectually disabled employee at a Rockford Walmart store after it rescinded his workplace accommodation.
"What our investigation indicated," said John Rowe, the EEOC district director in Chicago, who managed the federal agency's pre-suit administrative investigation, "is that Wal-Mart rescinded a long-standing practice of giving written job assignments to the employee, William Clark. That accommodation had been the key to permitting Clark to successfully perform his job during an 18 year career at Wal-Mart and to his meeting the company's performance expectations. We determined that shortly after rescinding the accommodation, Wal-Mart began disciplining Mr. Clark for supposed performance issues, and that ultimately lead to his termination."
The Wal-Mart where Clark was working at the time of his termination is located at 7219 Walton in Rockford, on the south side of the East State Street commercial corridor and between Interstate 90 and South Perryville Road.
The EEOC brought the suit under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which prohibits disability discrimination in employment, after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The case (EEOC v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Civil Action No. 14-cv-50145) was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Western Division on July 1, 2014. It has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Philip G. Reinhard.
John Hendrickson, regional attorney of the EEOC's Chicago District Office, said, "The EEOC's position in this case is that Wal-Mart just took away -- with no good reason -- an effective workplace accommodation of an intellectually disabled employee. That reversal fatally compromised the employee's ability to continue doing a job he had done so well for many, many years, and ended up with him being fired."
Hendrickson added, "It's hard to fathom what drove Wal-Mart to this course of action, but the EEOC response will definitely not be a mystery. We intend to show that the company's action was a particularly senseless violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act -- an especially hurtful injustice -- that Mr. Clark is entitled to full make whole relief and to punitive damages, and that the public interest requires strong injunctive measures to correct Wal-Mart's practices."
In March of this year, Wal-Mart Stores East, L.P. agreed to pay $363,419 to settle an EEOC sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit. According to that suit, Wal-Mart violated federal law by allowing a co-worker to sexually harass an intellectually disabled employee at an Akron, Ohio Walmart store.
The EEOC's Chicago District Office is responsible for processing charges of employment discrimination, administrative enforcement, and the conduct of agency litigation in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and North and South Dakota, with Area Offices in Milwaukee and Minneapolis.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its website at www.eeoc.gov.

Bieber reminds us that he still makes music
Justin Bieber, 19, has had a problematic PR year, to say the least, with damning headlines practically on a weekly basis. Bieber abandoned his monkey in Germany! Bieber allegedly visited a brothel in Brazil! Bieber urinated in a restaurant mop bucket and cussed out a picture of Bill Clinton!
But he's trying to end his year reminding people he's actually a musician with an iTunes exclusive album, "Journals." Released Monday and reportedly only available as a bundle of songs for two weeks, "Journals" features 10 songs that were previously released on a weekly basis starting in October as part of his recent Music Monday series, plus five brand new tunes. »Read Full Article(11)

Mary S. Young Park is located at 19900 Hwy. 43 and boasts 126 acres of multi-use sports fields, off-leash dog area and picnic area surrounded by peaceful wooded trails. Volunteers at Mary S. Young Park are credited with removal of invasive species, such as, clematis, blackberries, tree ivy and holly and do ongoing trail building and repair throughout the year.
Frequently asked questions about Mary S. Young Volunteers:
Who are "Mary S. Young Volunteers" and what do they do? We are dedicated to the restoration of the riparian habitat for citizen education, recreation and enjoyment. We work in cooperation with the City of West Linn, Parks and Recreation. With this vision to return the park to its native habitat we take several approaches. With the removal of invasive plants, the reintroducing of appropriate native plants, and the restoration of streambeds, the flora and fauna may return to its near original state. We also promote the development of excellent walking trails and general park maintenance.
When do they meet?
Groups and individual volunteers are encouraged to come out on the 2nd Saturday of the month (October through April) from 9 am - noon for native restoration work. Meet at the covered picnic shelter.
To register for upcoming work parties visit the SOLVE website volunteer registration at http://solveoregon.org/get-involved/event-registration To schedule your school or organization work party at another time contact Quintin Bauer at 503-844-9571 x 321 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Bi-weekly Invasive Species Removal & Trails Restoration- Our citizens enjoy walking the nature trails at Mary S Young Park but trail erosion and noxious weeds are a constant threat requiring management. On Mondays and Wednesdays Parks Department Volunteers host work parties at Mary S. Young Park from 8:30 am – 11:30 am. There is no registration required for the work parties, just show up. Volunteers should show up at the shed in the dirt/gravel parking lot at 8:30 am with weather appropriate clothing (warm, waterproof, long sleeved, and sturdy footwear). Tools and gloves are provided.
What is an invasive plant?
A non-native plant that establishes easily and spreads aggressively into new areas and environments, often with detrimental effects on native plant species.
What are native plants?
A native (indigenous) species is one that occurs in a particular region, ecosystem, and habitat without direct or indirect human actions. Species native to North America are generally recognized as those occurring on the continent prior to European settlement.
What is a riparian habitat?
Areas adjacent to rivers and streams with a differing density, diversity, and productivity of plant and animal species relative to nearby uplands. Habitat that is next to, or affected by, water sources such as rivers, creeks, lakes and springs. These areas often shelter plants and animals that couldn't survive in nearby areas. What is flora and fauna? The plant and animal life of a specific ecosystem.
What is the flora and fauna of the northern Willamette Valley?
The region was once covered by rolling prairies, oak savanna, coniferous forests, extensive wetlands, and deciduous riparian forests. Today, it contains the bulk of Oregon's population, industry, commerce, and agriculture. Productive soils and a temperate climate make it one of the most important agricultural areas in Oregon.
How can I help?
Help with monthly plant removal Donate money to support the funding of work crews Volunteer to be a resource advisor for our board This is an on going challenge and we need your energy and help to reclaim and restore. We cannot do this without you. We need to pull together!
Can you dig it?
In 1969 Congress passed the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) that provides statutory protection of natural ecosystems on federal lands, and also offers the public the opportunity to consider the environmental implications of revegetating federal landscaped with introduced versus native plants (Richards 1998). Then in 1995, 9 federal agencies and 53 organizations created the Native Plant Conservation Initiative National Strategy for the protection of native plants. Work on the National Strategy is continued today by the Plant Conservation Alliance.
The Mary S Young volunteers have a mission of eradicating Mary S Young Park of invasive species. This group, in cooperation with the Parks and Recreation Department, provides oversight and coordination of volunteer projects at Mary S Young.
Please consider donating to this volunteer group by sending your tax-deductible donation to: Mary S Young Park Volunteers, c/o Parks and Recreation, 22500 Salamo Road, West Linn Oregon 97068.
We hope to see you at the park or on the trails!

FusionIM subreddit http://reddit.com/fusionIM
Great Wow. I cannot believe I have not discovered this earlier. I really hate using Google Voice and Fusion makes everything a lot better. The notification prompt is awesome. It needs a Dashclock extension! I also noticed that there is a decent amount of lag when swiping back and forth. This is only when more than one conversation is open. I do not notice this when only one conversation is open.
This is a very good app, but... Appears to be abandoned for a while now. As far as I can tell, even the fusionIM subreddit that is linked directly to in the app description hasn't been updated with any official information in a while. It's too bad, because this app is great.
Great UI and idea but falls short I have been using this app for a few months and I have to change 4 stars to 2. It looks great but has a 10 minute delay to receive Google voice messages. Sometimes it doesn't even notify me. Unfortunately, I have to uninstall it because I was missing important messages.
Consider its an abandoned beta To refresh you need to go to settings and back again. Won't truly delete entries, once it syncs it appears again unless you delete text from gvoice app. Delay of texts to +5mins sucks. But there is no other app on the play store that supports gvoice.
Love this fantastic work in progress! Just found this app today and I love it. I haven't had much time to dig in yet, but the interface is beautiful and it does exactly what it says it does -- integrates Google Voice and stock messaging. I can't wait to see how this app continues to develop. I'm giving it 5 stars based on how promising it is, how well it has done what it's already doing, and the vision for the future.
Delayed messages from google voice Recently missing a lot of nofictations to significantly delayed messages. Great app though please fix.

Weak mixing and anomalous kinetics along filamented surfaces11(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1355358View Description Hide Description
We consider chaotic properties of a particle in a square billiard with a horizontal bar in the middle. Such a system can model field-line windings of the merged surfaces. The system has weak-mixing properties with zero Lyapunov exponent and entropy, and it can be also interesting as an example of a system with intermediate chaotic properties, between the integrability and strong mixing. We show that the transport is anomalous and that its properties can be linked to the ergodic properties of continued fractions. The distribution of Poincaré recurrences, distribution of the displacements, and the moments of the truncated distribution of the displacements are obtained. Connections between different exponents are found. It is shown that the distribution function of displacements and its truncated moments as a function of time exhibit log-periodic oscillations (modulations) with a universal period We note that similar results are valid for a family of billiard, particularly for billiards with square-in-square geometry.
Lowering the dimension of polynomial vector fields in and11(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1355662View Description Hide Description
We classify the normal forms associated to polynomialvector fields with dimensions two and three whose principal part is linear. Then we reduce by one the dimension of the associated differential systems. This is achieved by means of the extension of a symmetry of the unperturbed part to the whole system, up to a certain order of approximation. The corresponding transformation is formal in the sense that we have no estimation on its radius of convergence. We calculate the invariants, reduced phase spaces and differential systems associated to each reduction. This is the general setting for the study of the dynamics of the reduced system in order to obtain information about the original one.
Efficient noncausal noise reduction for deterministic time series11(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1357454View Description Hide Description
We present a simple noncausal noise reduction algorithm for time series that consist of noisy measurements of the state vectors of a deterministic (chaotic) nonlinear system. The underlying dynamical system is assumed to be known and to operate in discrete time. The noise reduction algorithm is an iterative scheme for finding exact deterministic orbits close to the measured noisy orbits. Furthermore, we discuss cases where the solution is not the original orbit but homoclinic to it.
Orbits in the molecule11(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1356068View Description Hide Description
We study the forms of the orbits in a symmetric configuration of a realistic model of the molecule with particular emphasis on the periodic orbits. We use an appropriate Poincaré surface of section (PSS) and study the distribution of the orbits on this PSS for various energies. We find both ordered and chaotic orbits. The proportion of ordered orbits is almost 100% for small energies, but decreases abruptly beyond a critical energy. When the energy exceeds the escape energy there are still nonescaping orbits around stable periodic orbits. We study in detail the forms of the various periodic orbits, and their connections, by providing appropriate stability and bifurcation diagrams.
Coupled catalytic oscillators: Beyond the mass-action law11(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1368129View Description Hide Description
We present Monte Carlo simulations of the reaction kinetics corresponding to two coupled catalyticoscillators in the case when oscillations result from the interplay between the reaction steps and adsorbate-induced surface restructuring. The model used is aimed to mimic oscillations on a single nm catalyst particle with two kinds of facets or on two catalyst particles on a support. Specifically, we treat the NO reduction by on a composite catalyst containing two catalytically active Pt(100) parts connected by an inactive link. The catalyst is represented by a rectangular fragment of a square lattice. The left- and right-hand parts of the lattice mimic Pt(100). With an appropriate choice of the model parameters, these sublattices play a role of catalyticoscillators. The central catalytically inactive sublattice is considered to be able only to adsorb NO reversibly and can be viewed as a Pt(111) facet or a support. The interplay of the reactions running on the catalytically active areas occurs via NO diffusion over the boundaries between the sublattices. Using this model, we show that the coupling of the catalytically active sublattices may synchronize nearly harmonic oscillations observed on these sublattices and also may result in the appearance of aperiodic partly synchronized oscillations. The spatio-temporal patterns corresponding to these regimes are nontrivial. In particular, the model predicts that, due to phase separation, the reaction may be accompanied by the formation of narrow NO-covered zones on the left and right sublattices near the boundaries between these sublattices and the central sublattice. Such patterns cannot be obtained by using the conventional mean-field reaction-diffusion equations based on the mass-action law. The experimental opportunities to observe the predicted phenomena are briefly discussed.
Two models for the dynamics of boiling in a short capillary tube11(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1368196View Description Hide Description
We investigate the dynamical origin of the statistical properties of boiling in a short capillary tube. Two different models are proposed (Markov model and rotational model). We show that the behavior of each model may be related to different properties of the physical phenomenon. We conclude with a suggestion of a new experimental measurement which can help to adjust several aspects of the models.
Particle dynamics and mixing in the frequency driven "Kelvin cat eyes" flow11(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1366371View Description Hide Description
The "Kelvin cat eyes" stream function is used as a simple fluid flowmodel to study particle dynamics, mixing and transport in a two-dimensional time-dependent flow field. Lagrangian formulation is used to describe the motion of small spherical particles present in the flow. Individual particle trajectories, under the influence of various flow parameters are studied. The equation describing the motion of these particles constitutes a set of first-order nonlinear differential equations describing a dynamical system. The time-dependent Eulerian flow field is studied as a nonintegrable Hamiltonian system in order to get insight into the underlying nonlinear properties of the system, which directly influence its complicated transport and mixing behavior. Chaotic advection (Lagrangian turbulence) was observed for heavy particles (high Stokes numbers) while no stochastic behavior was observed for light particles. The introduction of perturbation had only a limited effect on individual particle trajectories. However, the introduction of perturbation caused a shrinking of the phase space where bounded stochastic or quasi-periodic motion occurs. This phenomenon can lead to a better understanding of the link between the behavior of the underlying flow in the Hamiltonian formulation and the dynamics of the passive scalars in the Lagrangian description. The Eulerian flow field itself was found to behave chaotically under the influence of a periodic perturbation, because the stable and unstable manifolds associated with neighboring hyperbolic points intersected. This coincides with the better mixing of the fluid. Stochasticity was also discovered close to the periodic points of the system using Poincaré maps. Mixing and transport properties are analyzed as a function of the perturbation frequency.
Julia sets for the super-Newton method, Cauchy's method, and Halley's method11(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1368137View Description Hide Description
We study numerically and dynamically three cubically convergent iterative root-finding algorithms, namely Cauchy's method, the super-Newton method, and Halley's method. Using the concept of a universal Julia set (motivated by the results of McMullen), we establish that these algorithms converge when applied to any quadratic with distinct roots. We give examples showing the existence of attracting periodic orbits not associated to a root for the super-Newton method and Halley's method applied to cubic polynomials. We include computer plots showing the dynamic structure for each algorithm applied to a variety of polynomials.
Influence of low intensity noise on assemblies of diffusively coupled chaotic cells11(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1372513View Description Hide Description
The effect of time-correlated and white Gaussian noises of low intensity on one-dimensional arrays consisting of diffusively coupled chaotic cells is analyzed. An improvement or worsening of the synchronization between cells of the array driven by low-intensity colored noise is observed for a resonant interval of time correlation values. A comparison between colored and white noise and additive and multiplicative contribution has been carried out investigating the nonlinear cooperative effects of noise strength, correlation time, and coupling strength to control spatiotemporal chaos in coupled arrays of chaotic cells. The possibility to distinguish highly correlated areas of a diffusively coupled network of cells by using low-intensity time correlated noise is discussed.
The benefits of multibit chaotic sigma delta modulation11(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1371284View Description Hide Description
Sigma delta modulation is a popular technique for high-resolution analog-to-digital conversion and digital-to-analog conversion. We investigate chaotic phenomena in multibit first-order sigma–delta modulators. Particular attention is placed on the occurrence of periodic orbits or limit cycles. These may result in idle tones audible to the listener when sigma-delta modulation is used for audio signal processing. One suggested method of eliminating idle tones is the operation of a sigma delta modulator in the chaotic regime. Unfortunately, chaotic modulation of a first order sigma delta modulator is a poor system for signal processing. We show that minor variations on a traditional first order sigma–delta modulator, together with a multibit implementation, may be used to produce an effective, stable chaotic modulator that accurately encodes the input and helps remove the presence of idle tones.
Directional fractional kinetics11(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1372514View Description Hide Description
Kinetic equations used to describe systems with dynamical chaos may contain fractional derivatives of an order in space and in time in order to represent processes of stickiness, intermittency, and so on. We demonstrate for a simple example that the kinetics is anisotropic not only in the angular dependence of the diffusion constant, but also in the angular dependence of the exponents and A theory of such kinetic processes has been developed on the basis of integral representation and asymptotic solutions for different cases have been obtained. The results show the existence of self-similar solutions as well as possible logarithmic deviations.
Population dynamics advected by chaotic flows: A discrete-time map approach11(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1371285View Description Hide Description
A discrete-time model of reacting evolving fields, transported by a bidimensional chaotic fluid flow, is studied. Our approach is based on the use of a Lagrangian scheme where fluid particles are advected by a two-dimensional symplectic map possibly yielding Lagrangianchaos. Each fluid particle carries concentrations of active substances which evolve according to its own reaction dynamics. This evolution is also modeled in terms of maps. Motivated by the question, of relevance in marine ecology, of how a localized distribution of nutrients or preys affects the spatial structure of predators transported by a fluid flow, we study a specific model in which the population dynamics is given by a logistic map with space-dependent coefficient, and advection is given by the standard map. Fractal and random patterns in the Eulerian spatial concentration of predators are obtained under different conditions. Exploiting the analogies of this coupled-map (advection plus reaction) system with a random map, some features of these patterns are discussed.
In–out intermittency in partial differential equation and ordinary differential equation models11(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1374243View Description Hide Description
We find concrete evidence for a recently discovered form of intermittency, referred to as in–out intermittency, in both partial differential equation(PDE) and ordinary differential equation (ODE) models of mean field dynamos. This type of intermittency [introduced in P. Ashwin, E. Covas, and R. Tavakol, Nonlinearity 9, 563 (1999)] occurs in systems with invariant submanifolds and, as opposed to on–off intermittency which can also occur in skew product systems, it requires an absence of skew product structure. By this we mean that the dynamics on the attractor intermittent to the invariant manifold cannot be expressed simply as the dynamics on the invariant subspace forcing the transverse dynamics; the transverse dynamics will alter that tangential to the invariant subspace when one is far enough away from the invariant manifold. Since general systems with invariant submanifolds are not likely to have skew product structure, this type of behavior may be of physical relevance in a variety of dynamical settings. The models employed here to demonstrate in–out intermittency are axisymmetric mean-field dynamo models which are often used to study the observed large-scale magnetic variability in the Sun and solar-type stars. The occurrence of this type of intermittency in such models may be of interest in understanding some aspects of such variabilities.
Chaotic transition in a three-coupled phase-locked loop system11(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1372910View Description Hide Description
The chaotic transition is observed in a three-coupled phase-locked loop (PLL) system in both experiments and numerical simulations. In this system, three PLL oscillators are connected with the periodic boundary condition.Intermittency is found in partially synchronized phase, in which two of three oscillators synchronize with each other and form a pair, and the chaotic transition occurs due to the recombination of synchronized pairs so that different pair is re-formed. In this phase, on–off intermittency is also observed and statistical analyses are carried out for on–off intermittent time series. This intermittency is considered as a hybrid type of intermittency with both on–off intermittency and intermittency due to the recombination of synchronized pairs present in the same time series. We also show the chaotic transition phenomena in a three-coupled logistic map system.
Synchronization phenomena in nephron–nephron interaction11(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1376398View Description Hide Description
Experimental data for tubular pressure oscillations in rat kidneys are analyzed in order to examine the different types of synchronization that can arise between neighboring functional units. For rats with normal blood pressure, the individual unit (the nephron) typically exhibits regular oscillations in its tubular pressure and flow variations. For such rats, both in-phase and antiphase synchronization can be demonstrated in the experimental data. For spontaneously hypertensive rats, where the pressure variations in the individual nephrons are highly irregular, signs of chaotic phase and frequency synchronization can be observed. Accounting for a hemodynamic as well as for a vascular coupling between nephrons that share a common interlobular artery, we develop a mathematical model of the pressure and flow regulation in a pair of adjacent nephrons. We show that this model, for appropriate values of the parameters, can reproduce the different types of experimentally observed synchronization.
Comment on "Finding finite-time invariant manifolds in two-dimensional velocity fields" [Chaos 10, 99 (2000)]11(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1374241View Description Hide Description
This note serves as a commentary of the paper of Haller [Chaos10, 99 (2000)] on techniques for detecting invariant manifolds. Here we show that the criterion of Haller can be improved in two ways. First, by using the strain basis reference frame, a more efficient version of theorem 1 of Haller (2000) allows to better detect the manifolds. Second, we emphasize the need to nondimensionalize the estimate of hyperbolic persistence. These statements are illustrated by the example of the Kida ellipse.
Response to "Comment on 'Finding finite-time invariant manifolds in two-dimensional velocity fields' " [Chaos 11, 427 (2001)]11(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1374242View Description Hide Description
Lapeyre, Hua, and Legras have recently suggested that the detection of finite-time invariant manifolds in two-dimensional fluid flows, as described by Haller and Haller and Yuan, can be substantially improved. In particular, they suggested (a) a change of coordinates to strain basis before the application of Theorem 1 of Haller and (b) the use of a nondimensionalized time computed from Theorem 1. Here we discuss why these proposed steps will not result in a significant overall improvement. We verify our arguments in a more detailed computation of the example analyzed in Lapeyre, Hau, and Legras (the Kida ellipse), as well as in a two-dimensional barotropic turbulence simulation. While in both of these examples the techniques suggested by Lapeyre, Hau, and Legras reveal additional thin regions of hyperbolicity near vortex cores, they also lead to an overall loss of detail in the global computation of finite-time invariant manifolds.
