Date 2007-04-20 Availability unrestricted Abstract In this thesis a previously unknown mechanism of failure in multilayered slope profiles is identified. In some conditions this mechanism does not confirm to the known failure models (relating to circular failure) used in slope stability analysis. For this reason, major failures have occurred in the artificial cuts despite the fact that the limit equilibrium methods suggest that these cuts would be stable. The limit equilibrium methods were originally created to apply to earth dam walls. In the open pit mining environment, where we face inhomogeneous and inclined multilayered structures, the assumptions of these limit equilibrium methods appear to be inapplicable (e.g. assumption for the equal shear strength along the failure surface).Analysis starts with a general picture of the stress state in the highwall slope, given extant geological conditions and rock properties. The study then focuses on a comparison of the crack-tip stress changes in the rockmass with and without inclusions at the microscopic level. Basing some assumptions on binocular microscope observations of grain structures, it is possible to measure the size of the different inclusions and show that the microscopic carbon flakes present in the rock fabric make a major contribution to the failure process in a mudstone layer in the slope.
The approach adopts the fracture-process zone ahead of a crack tip as the controlling parameter of flaw propagation in rock. Flaw coalescence, which is poorly accounted for in current fracture models, is attributable to two phenomena: the flaw propagation due to high level of applied stress; and the linking of fracture-process zones due to the small distance between neighbouring flaws. A condition of flaw coalescence is given based on these two mechanisms.
This development allows defining of two zones along the failure surface (frictional and cohesive). In the slope-stability field the shear strength of the rock along the failure plane is a composite function of cohesive and frictional strength.
For instance, the relaxation stress normal to bedding, induced by overburden removal, provides an investigation method for the determination of the weakest minerals, which may act as flaws for fracture propagation in low-porosity rock. A method has been developed to determine the critical stress for tensile fracture propagation due to the rock structure and the stress reduction normal to bedding.
A proposed failure mechanism is based on the polygonal failure surfaces theory developed by Kovari and Fritz (1978), Boyd's field observations (1983), Stead and Scoble's (1983) analyses, Riedel (1929) Shear Fracture Model, Tchalenko and Ambraseys (1970), Gammond's (1983) and Ortlepp (1997) observations for natural shear failures, computer modelling by McKinnon and de la Barra (1998), the results of many laboratory experiments reported by Bartlett et al. (1981) and the author's experience. The proposed failure mechanism evaluates stability of the artificial slope profile due to the embedded weak layer structure, layer thickness, layer inclination and depth of the cut. On the basis of the observations and the above-mentioned modified fracture model, the slope profile is divided into two blocks; passive and active blocks. With this new model, it is possible to calculate slope safety factors for the slope failure cases studied in the industry. It has been found that, whereas the conventional slope stability models predict stable conditions, the new model suggests that the slope is only marginally stable (i.e. that failure can be expected).

Domestic Disturbance: FBI Raids Bring the Terror War Home |
Written by Chris Floyd |
Saturday, 25 September 2010 23:40 |
I'm sure that if I had met Paul Craig Roberts 25 years ago -- or indeed, had even known of his existence -- I would have felt strongly antagonistic toward this Reagan Administration apparatchik and all that he stood for. And for all I know, if I met him today, I still might find that we were at loggerheads on some issues, maybe many issues. But I must say there are few people out there today speaking truth about power with the unblinking, unvarnished ferocity of Roberts. (And as I've noted here before, it is speaking truth about power -- not the old cliché of "speaking truth to power" -- that we so desperately need. There's no point in speaking truth to power -- power already knows the truth of its monstrous crimes, and it doesn't give a damn.) Time and again, I've started to write a post about some outrage only to find that Roberts has already been there, laying into the issue with a flaming brand. And so it was today, when I came in from a gorgeous autumn afternoon -- one of those bright, crisp, golden days that break through the English gloom like some rare flower -- and saw the stories about the FBI raids on antiwar activists across the United States. I know that domestic duties -- that is to say, the actual living of one's life, the common and deeply meaningful byt that lies far beyond the howling madness of power -- would as usual keep me from writing until the wee hours, but I thought: I'll have to take this up later, I think I have something to say about this. But by the time that night had come, and duties were done, and loved ones were asleep, I found that, once again, Roberts was already on the case. He too had something to say -- everything that I was going to say, in fact, and more. So I'll just let Roberts speak the truth, beginning with his title: "It is Official: The US is a Police State": I agree that the threat goes far beyond mere harassment. Roberts goes on to spell out one of the first thoughts I had on reading these stories: that those who are accused of the slightest association with "terrorism" -- on little evidence, on manufactured evidence, or no evidence whatsoever -- are now subject to the merciless, lawless mechanisms of the Terror War state: Of course, they can also just be killed outright, without charges, without due process, at the lawless whim of the president or one of his designated minions -- or indeed, one of the literally thousands of people, many of them foreigners, that the United States government now pays to roam various regions of the earth killing people: blowing them up in their houses, murdering them in their beds, machine-gunning their children, drone-bombing their neighborhoods, knifing them on street corners, pushing them out of windows, poisoning them in restaurants, whatever. Just this week, the lawyers of the Peace Laureate were in federal court trying zealously to quash a civil lawsuit that would threaten the president's unrestricted power to kill American citizens without the slightest pretense of due process, if he feels like it. (It is astonishing -- unbelievable -- that one could even write such a sentence, that this is the kind of state we live in. That is, it would be astonishing and unbelievable -- if I hadn't been writing sentences just like it for almost nine years, since my first piece on George Bush's assertion of this universal power of life and death, back in November 2001.) Roberts notes the deeper implications of the "terrorism" taint that the government of the Peace Laureate is now smearing across the antiwar movement: But this is not all. Roberts had yet another piece out this weekend that also spoke to the accelerating corruption that seems to be raging through the American political system -- and the American populace -- like some vomitous fever that nothing can quell: "The Collapse of Western Morality." He begins, however, by setting the historical context: Yes, in the transvaluation of all values that is the American power cult, this is where we are: genuine morality is illegal, compassion is outlawed, dissent is treason, and justice is a crime. *** Midnight has come and gone. The golden day is a memory; they speak of rain tomorrow. In the face of all these mounting horrors, I keep thinking of byt, of Pasternak, and some words I wrote a few years ago. I think I'll end with them. blog comments powered by Disqus |

As a mental health clinician, I have witnessed the safe and confidential help provided by Saving Grace for many individuals and families in Central Oregon over the past 17 years. I have heard others, many of them close colleagues, in the medical, mental health and legal fields/professions, say the same, emphasizing as I would, that this organization has been an exceptional agency of skill and care. How fortunate we are to partner with such an organization in whatever way we might.

Can anyone lend insight into why a couple of my 4year old fruit trees keep splitting their cambium/bark layer? One is an Red Ace plum. It has not grown more than 5-6 inches since planting. Last year it put out 3 small but healthy fruits but none this year. The other is a pear (don't have type with me). It HAS grown probably 2 feet in same amount of time but never put out fruit. Both are fenced against deer and fertilized with stakes each spring. Some splits are a couple inches long, some 8-10 inches. The bark and camb layer are sort of pulled or shrunk back gradually and expose the heartwood very obviously. It is all healed looking and not raw. These can be found from ground level to top in various places on both. I see no signs of insects or animal damage. I did have one of those white plastic anti-girdling tubes on them the first couple years since this is in northern Michigan. The plum even has the heart wood protruding above the top branch - looks like a dowel sticking up beyond the tree an inch. At the same time and in the same yard I planted an apple which is doing very well and a cherry which has grown to 15 feet tall and is a great producer! It is such a head scratcher to me and I sure would like to do whatever I must to save them. I know these are grafts, bought from a nursery but do grafts have this problem? Thanks. |

sun burn? Paint the trunks white or wrap them in the spiral plastic tubes.. Afternoon sun heats bark in warm spells, juices flow up, freeze and split the cambium. |

I have to laugh, Steve. The last time a CM guy posted that, I responded with, "That's because you didn't contact ME". As a result, we had a very lovely friendship that lasted about a year. (He was young enough to be my son, so it ended when he married someone his own age.)
Cool. I can always use more friends.

Charging order protections are some of the most important but least understood business organization law features of LLCs under all U.S. LLC statutes. The fact that LLCs provide charging order protections and corporations do not is of significant importance in business entity formation practice. The law governing charging order protections is arguably one of the single most comlex area of LLC business organization law. Charging orders are also comlex and often misunderstood froma federal income tax viewpoint.
What types of business and business owners can benefit from charging order protections?
Any business that has valuable business assets, including cash, intelectual property, or hard assets such as real property, vehicles and equipement, can derive major benefits from LLC charging order protections.
A few issues concerning charging orders:
When creditors of members of multi-member LLCs ("member-debtors-in-default") obtain unsatisfied judgments for conduct member-debtor-in-default unrelated to the business of their LLCs, these creditors may obtain "charging orders" agianst the LLC. These orders will require these LLCs to pay these creditors any amounts otherwise payable as distributions by these LLCs to these member-debtor-in-default. With respect to the member-debtor-in-default, the other members, and the LLC these chargind orders are the creditors' only remedy. In particular, the creditors cannot obtain any of the members' other rights, including voting rights. Which means that the creditor cannot become a substituted member to the LLC and therefore cannot forc the sale of LLC assets in satisfaction of their judgments.
Under the LLC acts of most states, the relevant case law and the policies underlying charging order provisions hold or strongly suggest that charging order protections are available only to the members of multi-member LLCs. Wyoming, however, has amended the charging order provisions in its LLC act to provide the members of single member LLCs with charging order protections (see § 17-29-503 of the Wyoming LLC Act). However there is serious doubt as to whether other states would enforce these provisions of the Wyoming LLC Act.
LLC charging order protections originated in the 1880s in Enlgish general partnership law. There are three somewhat diverse policies underlying charging order protections:
Charging order protections can provide several different kinds of powerful business asset protections to multi-member LLCs and their members. Therefore if LLC formation clients need or can benefit from charging order protections, you should form their LLCs as a multi-member LLC and have at least two members. However, remember that the LLC must have a business purpose.
Due to the collection of unsatisfied judgments under charging orders being a slow process, the availability of charging order protections to member-debtors-in-default may effectively force creditors to negotiate settlements of their judgments on less then favorable terms. Nontheless, because members whose interests are subject to LLC charging orders must pay taxes on their shares of LLC income even though they cannot receive LLC distributions until the relevant credit judgments are paid in full, their liability for these taxes may cause some member-debtors-in-default to settle with judgment holders on terms that are unfavorable to these members.
Due to the charging order protections that are provided by LLCs and not corporations means that many corporations should convert to LLCs to obtain charging order protections. Under the laws of many states there is a process called "statutory conversion" that makes these conversions relatively easy. If properly structured these statutory conversions are "F reorganizations" under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC § 361(a)(1)(f) and are tax-free.
The DLLC act is the preeminent United States LLC act, has strongy impacted many other state's LLC acts, and many charging order provisions in non-Delaware LLC acts generally resemble DLLC Act §18-703.
Overview as provided by § 18-703 of the DLLC Act:
Creditors' only Remedy: A judgment creditor that holds an unsatisfied judgment against a member of a Delaware LLC who is a member-debtor-in-default may obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction a "charging order" against a the LLC. This is the exclusive remedy of the judgment creditor as it is the only way that the judgment creditor may satisfy the judgment based on the member's LLC interest
The Effect: The order requires that the LLC distribute to the creditor, to the extent of the judgment, any assets (including cash), which it would otherwise distribute to the member
The creditor has no remedy with respect to the LLC's property which is arguably because creditors can obtain an LLC's property only if they are able to vote to distribute this property to themselves in an LLC liquidation or otherwise.
a) Compensation: By an LLC to its members means payments by the LLC to its members specifcally regarding compensation for their services.
b) Distributions: Transfers by the LLC to its members of cash and other assets in the members' capacity as members not as compensation for members' services to or for the LLC.
Creditors who hold charging orders under DLLC Act § 18-703 have the rights of assignees with respect to distributions to the defaulting members but the are not the assignees. Under DLLC Act § 18-703, creditors that are holders of charging orders have, to the extent provided by the charging order, the rights of assignees of the LLC interest of the defaulting member to distributions tot he defaulting members. However creditors do not own these interests; they are not assigness of the LLC interest. Therefore for federal income tax purposes, they do not have the members' federal tax obligations, including, in particular, any obligation to pay federal income taxes on income allocated to the members.
For federal income tax purposes, chargine order payments should not be thought of as "distributions" to creditors holding unsatisfied judgments against defaulting members, but rather, as transfer of LLC cash to these creditors in satisfaction of a judgment. In other words, creditors that obtain charging orders should not thereby be deemed to incur "phantom income," and payments to them from LLCs under charging orders should be deemed for federal income tax purposes to be distributions of cash by the LLCs to the relevant defaulting members followed by payments of cash by these defaulting members to their creditors in satisfaction of their judgment.
Notwithstanding any existing charging order, these defaulting members remain subject to federal income tax on allocations to them of LLC profits. Creditors who recieve payments under charging orders must treat these payments as repayment of debts. These creditors are taxable on these payments only to the extent the payments consist of interest on these debts.
The state tax consequences of charging order protections may vary widely from state to state. That being said, never overlook the impact of state tax issues.
Charging order protections: Charging order protections apply only when an LLC member incurs an unsatisfied judgment to a creditor in a claim unrelated to the business of the LLC. Charging orders do not protect the the general assets of the member-debtor-in-default but only that member's membership rights, excluding the members' rights to distributions. Charging order protections do not directly protect the assets of the LLC or the membership rights of the other members. They do however protect these rights and assets indirectly.
Limited Liability:
Limited liability protections apply to protect the personal assets of LLC members, including their LLC membership rights, from claims against the LLC. These claims can result from negligence by the LLC's employees. It is important to be aware that the LLC liability shield will not protect an LLC member from the consequences of the members personal misconduct relating to the business of the LLC- No liability shield affords this protection.
Section 365(c)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Act as possible defense against trustee in bankruptcy. There are many unanswered questions concerning the impact of federal bankruptcy law and state insolvency law on the protections afforded by LLC statutory charging order provisions. However the existing case law under § 365 (c)(1)(A) of the Federal Bankruptcy Act suggests that with regard to debtors in default that are members of multi-member LLCs, partners of general partnerships, limited partners of limited partnerships, and beneficiaries of statutory business trusts (referred to here collectively as "debtors"):
Is there a need to include provisions in operating agreements regarding charging orders?
Charging orders do not affect LLC operations, they only have an economic effect on the defaulting member. Therefore there should be no need to address charging order issues in LLC operating agreements.
It is however possible to insert provisions to address charging order matters in the operating agreement of an LLC by minimizing the right to distributions and maximizing guaranteed payments, etc. Though because of charging order considerations the members of some LLCs may want to maximize the amount of LLC profits paid to working members on the basis of salary. guaranteed payments, or bonuses, and mazimize payments in the form of distributions.
Converting distributions to guaranteed payments, etc.,
LLC members may want to provide for the possibility of charging orders against their members if the LLC becomes subject to a charging order because of a judgment against a defaulting member, the LLC will convert amounts that might otherwise be paid to the member as distributions to salary of bonus. In this case the allocations to the member will be reallocated pro rata among the other members.
Dissociation of members:
In the case of a member whose misconduct results in charging orders agianst the LLC the othe members may want to provide in their operating agreements that if a member engages in conduct that results in a charging order against the LLC, the other members may dissociate the member. This provision may be useful because, among other considerations, members who are no longer able to receive distributions from their LLCs by reasons of charging orders may lose some or all of their motivation to provide competent services to or for their LLC. However, if the LLC of the other members have a right or duty to buy out the dissociated member, this buy-out may involve significant financial burdens for the LLC or the other members.

full isometry group $G$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$.
We prove that if the compact flat manifolds $\Gamma_1\backslash\mathbb{R}^n$ and
$\Gamma_2\backslash\mathbb{R}^n$ are strongly isospectral then the Bieberbach groups
$\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ are representation equivalent, that is, the
right regular representations $L^2(\Gamma_1\backslash G)$ and
$L^2(\Gamma_2\backslash G)$ are unitarily equivalent.

Quantum Limits of Eisenstein Series and Scattering States We identify the quantum limits of scattering states
for the modular surface. This is obtained through the study of quantum
measures of non-holomorphic Eisenstein series away from the critical
line. We provide a range of stability for the quantum unique
ergodicity theorem of Luo and Sarnak.

Evolution of Eigenvalues along Rescaled Ricci Flow In this paper, we discuss monotonicity formulae of various entropy functionals under various
rescaled versions of Ricci flow. As an application, we prove that the lowest eigenvalue
of a family of geometric operators $-4\Delta + kR$ is monotonic along the
normalized Ricci flow for all $k\ge 1$ provided the initial manifold has
nonpositive total scalar curvature.

Semiclassical Limits of Eigenfunctions on Flat $n$-Dimensional Tori We provide a proof of a conjecture by Jakobson, Nadirashvili, and
Toth stating
that on an $n$-dimensional flat torus $\mathbb T^{n}$, and the Fourier transform
of squares of the eigenfunctions $|\varphi_\lambda|^2$ of the Laplacian have
uniform $l^n$ bounds that do not depend on the eigenvalue $\lambda$. The proof
is a generalization of an argument by Jakobson, et al. for the
lower dimensional cases. These results imply uniform bounds for semiclassical
limits on $\mathbb T^{n+2}$. We also prove a geometric lemma that bounds the number of
codimension-one simplices satisfying a certain restriction on an
$n$-dimensional sphere $S^n(\lambda)$ of radius $\sqrt{\lambda}$, and we use it in
the proof.

Multiple Solutions for Nonlinear Periodic Problems We consider a nonlinear periodic problem driven by a
nonlinear nonhomogeneous differential operator and a
Carathéodory reaction term $f(t,x)$ that exhibits a
$(p-1)$-superlinear growth in $x \in \mathbb{R}$
near $\pm\infty$ and near zero.
A special case of the differential operator is the scalar
$p$-Laplacian. Using a combination of variational methods based on
the critical point theory with Morse theory (critical groups), we
show that the problem has three nontrivial solutions, two of which
have constant sign (one positive, the other negative).

First Variation Formula in Wasserstein Spaces over Compact Alexandrov Spaces We extend results proved by the second author (Amer. J. Math., 2009)
for nonnegatively curved Alexandrov spaces
to general compact Alexandrov spaces $X$ with curvature bounded
The gradient flow of a geodesically convex functional on the quadratic Wasserstein
space $(\mathcal P(X),W_2)$ satisfies the evolution variational inequality.
Moreover, the gradient flow enjoys uniqueness and contractivity.
These results are obtained by proving a first variation formula for
the Wasserstein distance.

Stratified Subcartesian Spaces We show that if the family $\mathcal{O}$ of orbits of all vector fields on
a subcartesian space $P$ is locally finite and each orbit in $\mathcal{O}$
is locally closed, then $\mathcal{O}$ defines a smooth Whitney A
stratification of $P$. We also show that the stratification by orbit type of

Multiple Solutions for a Class of Neumann Elliptic Problems on Compact Riemannian Manifolds with Boundary
We study a semilinear elliptic problem on a compact Riemannian
manifold with boundary, subject to an inhomogeneous Neumann
boundary condition. Under various hypotheses on the nonlinear
terms, depending on their behaviour in the origin and infinity, we
prove multiplicity of solutions by using variational arguments.

An Isospectral Deformation on an Infranil-Orbifold
We construct a Laplace isospectral deformation of metrics on an
orbifold quotient of a nilmanifold. Each orbifold in the deformation
contains singular points with order two isotropy. Isospectrality is
obtained by modifying a generalization of Sunada's theorem due to

Regular Points of a Subcartesian Space We discuss properties of the regular part $S_{\operatorname{reg}}$ of
a subcartesian space $S$. We show that $S_{\operatorname{reg}}$ is open and dense in
$S$ and the restriction to $ S_{\operatorname{reg}}$ of the tangent
bundle space of $S$ is locally trivial.

conformal holomorphic submersions.

Huber's Theorem for Hyperbolic Orbisurfaces We show that for compact orientable hyperbolic orbisurfaces, the
Laplace spectrum determines the length spectrum as well as the
number of singular points of a given order. The converse also holds, giving
a full generalization of Huber's theorem to the setting of
compact orientable hyperbolic orbisurfaces.

Coupled Vortex Equations on Complete Kähler Manifolds In this paper, we first investigate the Dirichlet
problem for coupled vortex equations. Secondly, we give existence
results for solutions of the coupled vortex equations on a class
of complete noncompact K\"ahler manifolds which include
simply-connected strictly negative curved manifolds, Hermitian
symmetric spaces of noncompact type and strictly pseudo-convex
domains equipped with the Bergmann metric.

On the Inner Radius of a Nodal Domain Let $M$ be a closed Riemannian manifold.
We consider the inner radius of a nodal domain for a large eigenvalue $\lambda$.
We give upper and lower bounds on the inner radius of the type
$C/\lambda^\alpha(\log\lambda)^\beta$. Our proof is based on
a local behavior of eigenfunctions discovered by Donnelly and
Fefferman and a Poincar\'{e} type inequality proved by Maz'ya.
Sharp lower bounds are known
only in dimension two. We give an account of this case too.

Dynamical Zeta Function for Several Strictly Convex Obstacles The behavior of the dynamical zeta function $Z_D(s)$ related to
several strictly convex disjoint obstacles is similar to that of the
inverse $Q(s) = \frac{1}{\zeta(s)}$ of the Riemann zeta function
$\zeta(s)$. Let $\Pi(s)$ be the series obtained from $Z_D(s)$ summing
only over primitive periodic rays. In this paper we examine the
analytic singularities of $Z_D(s)$ and $\Pi(s)$ close to the line $\Re
s = s_2$, where $s_2$ is the abscissa of absolute convergence of the
series obtained by the second iterations of the primitive periodic
rays. We show that at least one of the functions $Z_D(s), \Pi(s)$
has a singularity at $s = s_2$.

Generalizations of Frobenius' Theorem on Manifolds and Subcartesian Spaces Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of vector fields on a manifold or a
subcartesian space spanning a distribution $D$. We prove that an orbit $O$
of $\mathcal{F}$ is an integral manifold of $D$ if $D$ is involutive on $O$
and it has constant rank on $O$. This result implies Frobenius' theorem, and
its various generalizations, on manifolds as well as on subcartesian spaces.

Hermitian Harmonic Maps into Convex Balls In this paper, we consider Hermitian harmonic maps from
Hermitian manifolds into convex balls. We prove that there exist
no non-trivial Hermitian harmonic maps from closed Hermitian

domain is a compact Hermitian manifold with non-empty boundary.

The Spectrum and Isometric Embeddings of Surfaces of Revolution A sharp upper bound on the first $S^{1}$ invariant eigenvalue of the Laplacian
for $S^1$ invariant metrics on $S^2$ is used to find obstructions to the existence
of $S^1$ equivariant isometric embeddings of such metrics in $(\R^3,\can)$. As a
corollary we prove: If the first four distinct eigenvalues have even multiplicities
then the metric cannot be equivariantly, isometrically embedded in $(\R^3,\can)$. This
leads to generalizations of some classical results in the theory of surfaces.

that converges strongly in an appropriate Holder class.

Mine had a flower on it but not a scent. I tried smelling it during the heat of the day, at night, nothing! When are they supposed to smell? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have a Vigna Caracalla that does not have any frangrance as well. I don't know what gives. It's blooming well enough, just no scent. Oh well. Mother nature is a fun loving gal. |
Yeah, me too! I feel so ripped off... is this the first year for yours? Mine isn't too big. Lucky for me my gardenia bloomed! :) Yeah!!! How old is yours? Maybe it needs to be older before they smell....hoping against hope, of course! |
I started mine this spring from cuttings, so I am assuming that it is taken from a more mature plant. Don't really know. I will over winter it indoors and see what happen next year. I saw one growing on a fence here in Chicago last year and fell in love with it but I really don't remember if there was any scent. I detect a very gentle sweet scent when I sit on the deck with my coffee in the morning but cannot tell where it is coming from. Not of my scented plants are blooming this year. Keeping my fingers crossed for next year! |
So, it seems like maybe I was sent the wrong plant. This is the one I got: Some said that this one has no scent. There is another Vigna Caracalla that is suppose to have scent and that's this one: Which one did you get? |
Hi NixonK, I got bamboozled as well, I got the first picture you have, instead of the second one that you posted. I got the wrong one too! I forget where I ordered it from, maybe Burgess? I noticed that there is a VERY faint smell coming from one of the flowers (that also has aphids on it by the droves, as well as ants), but yeah we both got the wrong ones. :( What a bummer! |
- Posted by karyn1 MD 7 (email@example.com) on Tue, Aug 21, 07 at 20:26
The purple one is a scentless snail vine (Phaseolus caracalla). The fragrant corkscrew vine (Vigna caracalla) is the one in the second photo. They both have pretty blooms. Karyn |
I am prety sure that when I ordered it from DirectGardening that they had the picture of the second one on it and it was definitely named Vigna Caracalla. I am going to try and get the correct one next year. What a scam! |
Yeah, I'm miffed as well, I want SMELLY plants, dang it! I guess I might try to get one from logees next year. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Gumby!
Facts about Gumby
- Breed: Rat Terrier Mix
- Color: White - With Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Gumby's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, in need of an experienced adopter, not good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Gumby is now 8 years old and was deemed unadoptable by Sun Valley Animal Shelter because of birth defects of his legs. Defects of front and back legs on his right side force him to hop on his 2 left legs. He has 1 leg that is about 2" longer than all his other legs. He was adopted out once but his new owners brought him back because they couldn't handle his hopping (good grief!!!). He is just the sweetest little boy and has made himself right at home from the moment he came to the Sanctuary. His defects do not slow him down at all as he runs, jumps and plays like a normal dog - he loves his new toys! He just had is bloodwork done and all results were fantastic
Gumby would be better as an only dog and in a home with no children. He gets spooked when children are around which will cause him to nip and act out.
Gumby is available for adoption to a qualified home. If you have any questions or would like to meet Gumby, contact us at 602-596-5568.
Other Pets at Mingus Manor Animal Sanctuary
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Gumby, a Chandler Rat Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Rat Terrier for sale in Chandler, or seeking a Rat Terrier dog from a breeder in Chandler.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Chandler already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Chandler breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Rat Terrier breeders who help with Rat Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Chandler paves the way for another one to be saved.

- Oiling - She has variety of oils of probably different grades. The girl attending me gave me instructions about how to go about my routine. And, she applied really a LOTTT of oil to my hair (around half a cup). It is supposed to have lots of herbs.
- Ginger Tonic - After the oiling was done, this was applied to my scalp only. Its basically ginger powder infused in vinegar. This is for aiding the hair growth since ginger stimulates hair follicles.Well, I do think other herbs might also have been there. It has to be left on for 30 minutes.
- Hair Pack - After the ginger tonic, a hair pack is applied on the scalp and the ends of the hair and then, the hair is covered with a shower cap. This is made from many pulses and other ingredients and it smells strongly of dhania and it smells really warm. It also has to be left on for 30 minutes.
We are prescribed a shampoo, conditioner, hair oil and the ginger tonic. The treatment has to be done everyday for the first week in the same order as I have described above. And, after the first week, it has to be done on alternate days till you see the desired results. The hair pack has to be applied weekly once. I was told that I would see the new growth in two months.
How much does it cost?
Yes, it is expensive. Not overtly but still it is. Frankly, I wasn't prepared for the bill presented to me but my mom had already anticipated it. The shampoo and conditioner cost about 400, the tonic is around 800, hair pack is 600 and the hair oil is around 2500. To be just, even my dad said that the quantity given was good enough.
How am I liking it?
I went to her on 18th April. I have used the products around 5 times till now. Yes, I wasn't regular as I should have been in the first week and neither was I in the second but I hope I shall be from now on. But, strictly speaking, I would say that the treatment has brought out shine in my hair. And, it has definitely become more manageable with less flyaways.
Also, I love the shampoo a lot. Its free of chemicals and it smells nice and it seems to be a concoction of reetha and shikakai with orange fragrance. Its watery enough but not entirely watery and lathers well enough but not exactly generously but cleanses my hair nicely. And, I like the conditioner too. It lathers a lot and doesn't weigh down my hair.
Of course, none of the products ingredients are written as they are supposed to be a secret. And, whether I'll have a head full of hair, only time will tell. But, being a cynic, I do have a small doubt. If I follow the very same routine with regular products in the same time frame, will it yield results??? Of course, taking into consideration that I choose a SLS free shampoo and silicone free conditioner. What do you say??

Be realistic about your entrepreneurial dreams. Creating wealth through a new business is, generally speaking, difficult work. "We did not expect our Internet business to be an overnight success," says Sniechowski. "We had to put in substantial labor to get results, and I think we were smart to follow the marketing training we received."
If you are attracted to a business-opportunity idea because it sounds easy, or the seller makes promises of big money for a few casual hours of effort, look at it again realistically, or just move on. A solid business-opportunity program will give you the tools you need to get into building your own wealth, but the engine and fuel and driver of that business will be you. Bring a healthy skepticism to the process of locating the right business opportunity, and keep your eyes open for a good fit with your skills and needs. When you do find that fit and it clicks, you'll be well on your way.

My Unintentional Career in Retail

One woman's midcareer misadventures in the absurd world of American retail.
After losing her job as a journalist and the security of a good salary, Caitlin Kelly was hard up for cash. When she saw that The North Face-an upscale outdoor clothing company-was hiring at her local mall, she went for an interview almost on a whim.
Suddenly she found herself, middle-aged and mid-career, thrown headfirst into the bizarre alternate reality of the American mall: a world of low-wage workers selling overpriced goods to well-to-do customers. At first, Kelly found her part-time job fun and reaffirming, a way to maintain her sanity and sense of self-worth. But she describes how the unexpected physical pressures, the unreasonable dictates of a remote corporate bureaucracy, and the dead-end career path eventually took their toll. As she struggled through more than two years at the mall, despite surgeries, customer abuse, and corporate inanity, Kelly gained a deeper understanding of the plight of the retail worker.
In the tradition of Nickel and Dimed, Malled challenges our assumptions about the world of retail, documenting one woman's struggle to find meaningful work in a broken system.

I just discovered a newly developed bfh nest, in a questionable spot. This will be my 3rd known nest; normally they'd be in a maple tree about 20' off the ground. This nest is at the top of a window, with some foot traffic from the neighbors (their driveway is close). It's a bed that contains a few butterfly bushes and lots of milkweed & rudbeckia. I'm 99.9% sure that we have yellowjackets nesting in our siding; been this way for years, dh is in denial. While previous nests have been welcomed, due to the fact that the yellowjacket population was minimal when nests were present, you can understand my love for them. I'm just worried about any butterflies, bumblebees, honeybees, and monarch caterpillars that will be in this area. 1. Should I leave the nest alone? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to harm them, but I worry about the other visitors! Tracey |

Since it's just the start of a nest, I would knock it down. |
- Posted by tracey_nj6 6 (My Page) on Fri, May 31, 13 at 21:34
Well, after much contemplation, I just knocked it down, and boy, is she pissed! Hopefully all will be calm in the area tomorrow morning. I'm going to try and avoid the area for as long as possible. The nest is on the ground. I'm hoping she decides to rebuild higher up, because if she builds back in the same spot, I'll have to kill her, which I really don't want to do :( Every webpage I looked at said to spray the nest. I just can't bring myself to do that. |

Operation Cute 1955
He was there--my father, James W. Bastian, a writer/observer from Atomics International, Battle Creek, Michigan, age 34. He got cancer in 1967, treated with chemo and cobalt radiation, contracted lymphoscarcosis 1971, passed 1983; he had polaroids and prints of his experience; mannequins, houses, color print of morning explosion; he was 6-2", 180#s, wore baseball cap, dickies; never said much about event later; film is cheery, OMG wonderment; nice CD production; jc penney donated clothes, according vegas red cross and newspaper account of event in Las Vegas Tribune newspaper; films captures/represents business as usual bomb test for scientific discovery; he build bomb shield/wall in our washington, D.C. home in 1954 like that shown; glad reporter Joan Collin had wonderful roast beef sandwich that survived nuclear blast. my dad had tea (one of his pictures).

Consider the Physics and Facts and Leave Behind Emotion, Fear and Misconception
Neutron radiation in the first few milliseconds of the explosion can induce radiation--and it does--BUT it's "power" decreases exponentially with distance. With this relatively low-yield weapon anything further than a km or so would be completely safe from neutrons and gamma radiation. Therefore, it is not impossible that there would be hardly any radiation in the area, especially if most of the fallout cloud had been blown away quickly.
Let me mention this again: it seems VERY apparent that this was a VERY low-yield weapon. Possibly around 10 kt.
Do you think they didn't send in people to test those sites thoroughly before they let the media in? Even in the 50s the government was paranoid about "looking good".
My point is:
Although I would've taken more precautions and of course the government would as well nowadays, that doesn't mean that they were being completely reckless.
People's conception of the destructive power of nuclear weapons and ESPECIALLY radiation are horrendously exaggerated--verging on paranoia and mass hysteria and surrounded by a giant, mystical veil of ignorance (the word meaning "not knowing" in this sense; definitely not an insult).
If any of you guys are interested in learning more about the the physics of nuclear detonations, let me know. I would love to recommend some literature to get you started.

What? No Geiger Counters!
What pap for the masses! During this whole schtick
not one Geiger counter is shown. 24 hours after the blast they are walking around in t-shirts. I didn't even see anyone wearing gloves. This was a clean blast with zero fallout? They didn't even say the word fallout! How many of these people at the site ended up being off the charts statistically with cancer developing later? That is the real test. No, they had to show that they could all chow down at the "safe" outer perimeter away from ground zero. Nuts and MAD. See the difference between dosemeters and counters at radmeters4u dot com.

Fact or Fiction
One has to remember that when this film was created, the Trinity tests were only 10 years earlier and information was still being developed on how radiation works. While there are some areas that appear to be amusing by 21st century views, the film displays good tests that have also been applied to reinforcing against hurricanes and tornadoes (i.e. wind effects). Our knowledge of radiation today is much more informed than 1955, but without those tests, we would still be wondering how time, shielding and distance plays a role with radiation. This film is still informative to emergency management functions, especially when a nuclear threat still exists, even if it happens to be terrorists on the ground instead of ICBMs and bombers flying through the air.

Apocalypse Management
Atomic war is no big deal once all your houses are concrete bunkers! The whole thing is a 3 Little Pigs homily. Most bizarre. Notice how the "reporter" has a brand-new (For 1955!) Thunderbird! After the blast, everybody has a radioactive picnic! Mind control of the crudest sort. And thank God for the American Gas Institute. Private enterprise will be a big help after the attack, especially if they are allowed to advertise a little. No one should not watch this arcane classic.

operation cue
Nothing coy cute or comic here. Nor are there any childish remarks in this review as I'm not a boomer, I grew up.This test was a valuable research tool. It got the ball rolling for civil defense and got the thinking processes going for the populus who if better informed are more likely to plan and less likely to panic and it provided quantifiable data for critical research. Yes it is dated and yes it is flawed, but the thing to remember is that like Freud's hypotheses a starting place is not going to be as perfected as the knowlege and creative and critical thinking it spawns. Yes light weight houses were used to have a starting point standard to quantifiably compare survivable shelters by; a control subject if you will. Much of what is needed for modern homeland defense might well draw from these tests and yes even this film. Consider what modern threats the USA might face and what kind of educational films might be needed to properly educate the public and help them prepare themselves for the kinds of problems that might result. Nuclear holocaust from a nuclear weapons exchange with the USSR was a genuine threat until the regimes collapse. Some kind of preparation of the public had to be effected. This film is valuable for the novice nuke student as well, again as some kind of starting point which in any endeavour must exist. Think about it.

Cue the bomb!
There are two Operation Cues on this site, and since both of them are quite cimilar to another, thought I'd kill two birds with one bomb and review them together.
The two operation cues detail the bomb explosions that happened in Nevada. What starts off these films hilariously is the dismissal of these films at the very start of them. Like, this is an important film, but it's irrelevant now. A 'reporter' named Joan Collin (the name of the reporter is dropped in the later version) drops by before the blast and familiarizes herself with all the stuff that will be blown up into smithereens. I found it hilarious that the male narrator would come on basically after that and narrate the piece, and the woman would come on with silly female asides as 'being a mother and a house wife, I was quite interested about the food tests"
Soon, the bomb hits, and everything goes boom. 24 hours later of course, everything is fine, and they go trolloping around the site as if everything is hunky dory. The whole thing ends off, as it shoot with a cook-out. Why, who knows. A bizarre classic, and a must see on this site!
shanaphile -
From the vantage point of 50 years beyond, "Operation Cue" comes across as sheer camp: a Cold War Katie Couric marches through strategically placed manequins; workers build homes and bury food; bystanders watch the explosion through run-of-the-mill sunglasses; and all share in a buffet excavated from the test's remains.
But if my experience is indicative of others, a hush overtook the laughter when the bomb was detonated, a reminder that this living nightmare spawned a palpable insecurity that defined more than one generation of Americans.
If "Operation Cue" is of interest, read Tom Vanderbilt's "Survival City." It makes sense of the seemingly random events seen in the movie, and it is one of my favorite books of all time.
Kold War Kid -
Operation Cue
Just goes to show you: whether buying a home for your family, or to get blown to pieces by a nuclear test, the 3 most important things are: location, location, location. And somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't metal objects such as cans, pens, etc. pick up some atomic radiation from the explosion? If that's the case, I wouldn't have been as eager as these folks to chow down at a nuclear test site 24 hours after the explosion. Was the radioactivity different then? I wish someone had told me there was going to be math involved with this flick; I would have taken notes.
Lewis Payne -
Operation Cue
Strange examination of the effects of a (apparently relatively small) nuclear blast on various common items. While some seem an understandable thing to test for - the durability of a electrical substation, for instance - other things seem somewhat odd, such as perishable food, or a lightweight house (which gets, as expected, completely obliterated). The scariest thing about this film, however, is that the entire group of observers (reporters, Civil Defense officials, etc) start bumbling around the test only 24 hours after the detonation, even settling down to eat a meal which gets prepared on site!
Christine Hennig -
Operation Cue
A plucky girl reporter observes Operation Cue, an atomic bomb test of houses and household items. Because she is a woman (the film makes this very clear), she is especially interested in how the bomb affects clothing, home furnishings, and food. It's all pretty much what you'd expect, but like The House in the Middle, one wonders if any of it will matter at all when the apocalypse comes. There's some pretty weird moments if you look carefullyÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂfor instance, calling the container of food to be tested "Grandma's Pantry" boggles the mind if you think about it (yep, I love good old-fashioned nuked food, I do!). One of the few films of its kind to be in color, and the film quality is excellent to boot.
Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: ***. Weirdness: ****. Historical Interest: *****. Overall Rating: ***. Also available on Atomic Scare Films, Vol. 2 and The H-Bomb and Other Smash Hits.

All pups come with a 26 month HIP and EYE Guarantee. Our guarantee covers any genetic problems that prevent your puppy from certified by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) or the Canine Eye Registration Foundation, Inc. (CERF)
CERF will certify pups as early as 6 weeks of age. It will be your responsibility to have your pup's eyes examined any time through its 24th month of age. A copy of the CERF certificate MUST be sent to us by no later than thirty (30) days after CERF certification. Failure to comply will result in a VOID of this guarantee.
OFA will only certify dogs who have reached 24 months of age. It will be your responsibility to have your dogs hips x-rayed for evaluation before the dogs 30 months of age. A copy of the OFA certification MUST be sent to us not later than sixty (60) days after OFA certification. Failure to comply will result in a VOID of this guarantee.
If this dog has been bred before 24 months or before being cleared by OFA or CERF this guarantee is VOID. This guarantee does not cover any health or medical issues that arise after 7 days of your pup being in your care. Razor Labs encourage you to have your pup checked by your own Vet within the first 7 days of picking up your pup.
OFA Re-Evaluation
Razor Labradors also retains the option to have the dogs hips x-rayed again at a veterinarian of their choosing and submitted to OFA for re-evaluation. Should the dog subsequently receive an OFA rating then all costs associated with the exam will be the buyer's responsibility. Should the dog fail to receive an OFA rating then the cost of the re-evaluation and x-ray will be the responsibility of Razor Labs. In any event, the OFA will be the final determining authority.
CERF Re-Evaluation
Razor Labradors also retains the option to have the dogs eyes re-examined. If the re-examination proves the eyes are free of said genetic defects then all cost associated with the re-examination will be the buyer's responsibility.

To ensure defects will not be passed on, the buyer at their expense must spay or neuter the puppy/dog and return the dog's CKC Registration papers transferring ownership back to the seller before a new puppy of equal value will be granted when available. Written verification that the procedure was performed sent to us by the vet. The dog does not have to be returned and may remain with the buyer.
