Free surface problems for static Coulomb-Mohr granular solids
McCue, Scott W. & Hill, James M. (2005) Free surface problems for static Coulomb-Mohr granular solids. Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids, 10(6), pp. 651-672.
Accepted Version
(PDF 354kB)
This paper is concerned with some plane strain and axially symmetric free surface problems which arise in the study of static granular solids that satisfy the Coulomb-Mohr yield condition. Such problems are inherently nonlinear, and hence difficult to attack analytically. Given a Coulomb friction condition holds on a solid boundary, it is shown that the angle a free surface is allowed to attach to the boundary is dependent only on the angle of wall friction, assuming the stresses are all continuous at the attachment point, and assuming also that the coefficient of cohesion is nonzero. As a model problem, the formation of stable cohesive arches in hoppers is considered. This undesirable phenomena is an obstacle to flow, and occurs when the hopper outlet is too small. Typically, engineers are concerned with predicting the critical outlet size for a given hopper and granular solid, so that for hoppers with outlets larger than this critical value, arching cannot occur. This is a topic of considerable practical interest, with most accepted engineering methods being conservative in nature. Here, the governing equations in two limiting cases (small cohesion and high angle of internal friction) are considered directly. No information on the critical outlet size is found; however solutions for the shape of the free boundary (the arch) are presented, for both plane and axially symmetric geometries.

"Are you okay?" he says again, wanting to move on.
"I should be dead."
"I understand."
"No you don't. I tried to kill myself last night, in the bathroom, before the plane crashed. That's why I survived."
When Jane steps on to the plane her plan is clear - Go to the bathroom. Take the pills. End it all.
The plane crash changes all that.
Jane wakes in the mountains, surrounded by wreckage, with just one survivor. Together, they must fight they're way through the blizzards, and back to civilization.
Now, more than anything, she wants to live.
This book is based on a suicidal girl who wants to commit suicide on her way home to her Mum for Christmas... When the plane crashes and she is left in the snow she thinks she's all alone and that she's going to die out there in the cold all on her own but, then she finds Paul and they fight through the storms together and push each other on.
This book is extremely moving and the whole way through the book you're hoping they're going to make it back. This book is very sad, it breaks your heart to think that sometimes people are actually stranded in places like that and have to fight to survive. If you don't like sad books you really don't want to read this it is a book and everything that happens is almost always miserable. Heart-wrenching, emotional, fantastic, with a bit of humour.
This book really does make you happy to be alive.
I would rate this book 5 stars.

text: I was nine years old when my mother brought me a record player and two albums. Aretha Franklin and Klimax. It was 1985. I rushed home with the record player, hurried into my bedroom, and closed the door. I unboxed the record player, placed it on the window sill, and plugged it in. I tore the plastic from the albums, gently laid Aretha's onto the record player, and watched it spin as the needle found its groove. I sat on the floor, my legs crossed. The music began. I closed my eyes. I listened intensely. I heard sounds that others did not. The classical harp subdued in an orchestra of strings in Babyface's "Whip Appeal." Or the whistle beautifully blending with the instruments, on The Deele's song, "Two Occasions." Any time I'd get five dollars I'd walk to Skippy White's to buy a new album. Roger Troutman. Angela Winbush. Rick Astley. Lisa Stanfield. Guy. Madonna. When the song was over I opened my eyes, got up from the floor, and played the same song again. And again.

Fatal Essex County Carjacking One of 400 Stolen Cars This Year
The death of Dustin Friedland, shot and killed in Short Hills, N.J., is the latest of 400 carjackings in Essex County so far this year.
Carjackings in the county have been going up every year since 2009, according to the Essex County Prosecutor's Office. Most take place in Newark, where Friedland's Range Rover was located this morning in the South Ward.
On Sunday night, the 30-year-old Hoboken resident returned to his Range Rover in the parking deck of the Short Hills Mall at approximately 9 p.m. after Christmas shopping with his wife, Jamie. He had just opened the passenger door for her when two men approached and fired two shots, hitting Friedland in the head. He was taken to Morristown Medical Center and was pronounced dead close to midnight. His wife was not injured.
The Star-Ledger is reporting Friedland struggled with the assailants before he was shot.
The car was found in Newark but the two suspects are still at large.
In August, the Prosecutor's Office launched a campaign emphasizing the penalties for carjacking, targeting young adults believed to be more prone to engaging in the crime. The focus of the campaign was in Newark, Irvington and East Orange.

Sick, sick nation
In the aftermath of the school shooting in Connecticut Friday one thing comes front and center. This is a sick and misdirected country. This isn't the first time this has happened and sadly it's not the last time it will happen. We are reaping what we are sowing and there is more reaping to come America and you can count on it.
Until the day comes that we quit teaching our children that violence and guns is fun and games, there will be more incidents. I listened to a shrink today, on television saying we need to rebuild our mental health system and I couldn't help thinking that's like injecting people with a disease and them building a hospital to treat them at. This kind of violence is learned for many from an early age. We have laws in place that protect the rights of people who peddle this trash to poison our children minds and turn them into maniacal killers.
Think of the children who lived and witnessed this carnage. Think of the police and fire that had to work this scene. But lastly think of the parents who lost their child and then tell us about your rights to print and video this crap and peddle it to our children. There is no such thing as a born killer. It's a learned behavior and we are doing our best to teach it.
What's left now? Bury our dead and listen to all of the experts tell us what went wrong. There will be million dollar investigations as to why this happened, when we all know why it happened but no one has the guts to say it, because at least for now it's legal.

Natural Gas Stations Come to the Panhandle
Starting this Spring, you can fill up your car with natural gas, right here in Amarillo.
"It means you can leave Los Angeles in your natural gas powered vehicle and now get away all the way across the country filling up with natural gas when you need it," Wayne Hughes, with Panhandle Plains Royalty Owner's Association said.
Love's Travel Stop is expanding, to offer fast-fill compressed natural gas. The new stations will be located at the travel stop on I-40, slated to be operational this May.
Those in the natural gas industry are excited about the new project.
"You know, we're the number one natural gas producer in the world, here in the Texas Panhandle. And it gives us a market that we didn't, that we have not had before,"
Hughes said, "It will mean that car dealers who normally have not been stocking natural gas vehicles, will have you know, a reason to do that, I think. So there's nice vibrations go out, you know, throughout the fuel industry."
As for consumers, Love's General Manager of Natural Gas Bill Cashmareck said, this fuel originally caught on with truck drivers. Now more people are wanting to fill up with this fuel alternative, because it's cheaper,"
"You know where diesel today is averaging about 4 dollars a gallon, we're selling compressed natural gas for two dollars in Texas and a dollar seventy nine in Oklahoma,"
Cashmareck says this movement to compressed natural gas is new, but Love's is jumping on board.
The company has 13 operational sites offering CNG right now. Soon there will be one more on the list, right here in the Panhandle.
As for finding a natural gas powered vehicle, according to Cashmareck, most cars can run on natural gas. You can buy vehicles equipped to take natural gas, or purchase conversion kits for your current vehicle.

Mandatory Reporting...more thoughts on Sophie
Okay, I'm still talking about this TV show, the blog post is a response to comments on yesterday's In Treatment episode on Sophie. Please, remember it's fiction.
In Maryland, the law is that mental health professionals must report any child abuse issues. It doesn't matter if it happened 40 years ago, if it happened in another state, if the perpetrator is dead, this is either the law, or the attorney general's interpretation of it, and it's how mental health professionals operate. Okay, it can be silly, I'm not a detective, I'm just telling you law. And on the information sheet I give patients, it has a line that says that there are laws regarding confidentiality and issues of child abuse.
The Sophie issue is more clearcut-- this is recent sexual activity of an adult with a child and the adult continues to have contact with her and with other children. No issue legally. I won't comment on the therapeutic ramifications about trust, because, well, there's no legal ambivalence here. For those who aren't watching the show: Sophie lived with her gymnastics coach for a while, for months his wife was out of state, she cared for their child, had a relationship with coach, slept with him (mentioned that before they had sex, everyone assumed they were), and after the session, Paul calls her mother to ask her to come in.
Throughout the session, Sophie looks childlike and younger than her stated age. I believe the TV folks did this on purpose.
Here are my thoughts:
--Paul should have told Sophie that he's obligated to report this. Yup, given that she loves the coach, this probably would have ended the therapeutic relationship, but preserving the therapeutic relationship is not the most important thing in the world. Remember, this is the coach who picked her up from her last therapy session.
--Paul should not have called Mom without discussing it with Sophie.
--Do we believe this? Kid lives with coach, her parents allow this, his wife is away for 6 months, everyone thinks they've been having sex, which they do, and coach the pedophile-criminal transport kid to therapy where she may snitch on him and get him locked up for years?
It would be interesting to see what Sophie said when Paul told her he had to report it.
Next week, perhaps?
And I have wondered if the show is taking place in the DC suburbs.
I'm still thinking about my response to ClinkShrink's last post.

Dr. Jack Kevorkian died in a Detroit hospital this morning. The assisted suicide advocate was called "Dr. Death" by some.
Kevorkian claimed that he helped 130 people with assisted suicide. Some thought that this was unethical; others thought that the doctor was performing a humanitarian service.
In 1999, Kevorkian was convicted of second degree murder and sent to prison after a broadcast showed him giving a lethal injection to a man who was suffering from ALS. Ayotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, is a disease of the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement. It is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
Kevorkian eventually lost his license to practice medicine. In 2007, he was released from prison on parole due to failing health. The next year, he ran unsuccessfully for Congress.
He was hospitalized last month for pneumonia and kidney problems.

Simple! Just download and complete the AEA Membership Form and return it (along with your dues payment or payroll deduction information) to Sara Crismon at Bologna Elementary. You can also apply online through the NEA website.
All certified employees of the Chandler Public Schools may become active members of the Association upon payment of dues to the Chandler Education Association, Arizona Education Association, and National Education Association. Dues for the full membership year (September 1 through August 31) for certified staff members are as follows:
|NEA Dues
|AEA Dues
|CEA Dues
|dues may differ for part-time or prorated members ... contact your site representative for more information
Payroll deduction is back! Members may elect to have dues deducted directly over 20 paychecks ($29.40 per deduction). Dues may also be withdrawn via electronic funds transfer (EFT) at a rate of $29.40 over 20 withdrawals. Withdrawals will be made on the 15th and last day of each month, beginning September 15th and ending June 30th. Finally, members may also choose to have dues withdrawn via credit card, which will result in 10 withdrawals of $58.80 made on the 10th day of each month (beginning in September and ending in June). Membership shall be continuing unless written notification is given to the membership chair by September 1 of the current school year.
This is a question that many teachers ask of their association. It's a hard question to answer ... because there are so many reasons you should become a member of the CEA! Here are but a few of the reasons to join your local, state, and federal association. Fore information, visit any of the links below, or visit the AEA website.
The Chandler Education Association has always been a key player in developing district-wide initiatives that support all teachers, including the district mentoring program and the CEA Children's Fund. And of course, CEA will always fight for fair compensation for every teacher in the Chandler Unified School District. Here are some other ways CEA can help you be the best teacher you can be:
While the local association has the most direct impact on policies implemented in Chandler, there are still numerous issues in Arizona that are handled by the Arizona Education Association. AEA is without a doubt our primary voice at the state legislature on issues such as teacher compensation, performance pay, career ladder, etc., but they also provide other key services to teachers, such as:
While AEA fights for teachers at the state level, the National Education Association is the largest professional organization for teachers in the country, and is constantly fighting for teachers and education across the United States. They are the number one advocate for education at the federal level, and lobby Congress on bills that affect education. Other benefits offered by NEA include:

Great list!
We've been doing crafts and a lot of reading. My two seem to really enjoy snuggling under the blankets and reading and/or being read to lately -- which has been rather nice on these cold, icy days!

What a terrific list. I'm with you no balls in the house. It always ends in disaster. Your balloon games ideas are good ones. Ball sports without the danger of breakages! My experience with active activities indoors is that it always ends in tears! Before I went on family leave I was teaching Grade 4. They absolutely loved brain gym, yoga and meditation.

We make art - lots and lots of it!! My older child is two and a half, so I also get a lot of mileage out of setting up sensory tubs full of rice, beans, ice, jello, water, flour, cornstarch, etc. I love that you put "housework" on the list. My child is obsessed with vacuuming, and by including her I can justify clean-up as an activity.

Sustain Not ValidatedLocation: Burlington, United States Industry: E-Commerce
We place tremendous value on what condoms "do," but almost never ask where they come from. Meanwhile, whole industries are disrupted when we peer behind the supply chain curtain. And so it will be with the condom industry as we tell its story of child labor, toxic chemicals, human rights violations, environmental destruction, and the billions of dollars in profits that depend upon externalizing costs onto our society and planet. Hollender Sustainable Brands, LLC is launching Sustain, the first sustainable, fair trade, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified condom in the United States. While organic, fair trade products in the US represent $25 billion, Sustain will be the first condom brand to enter the market. Because traditional condoms are made with toxic chemicals and child labor we believe there is a significant need for a safer, labor-friendly alternative.

Opposition must learn respect for Zuma: Ace Magashule
Opposition parties in South Africa needed to learn to respect their president, Free State premier Ace Magashule said on Wednesday.
Magashule - together with North West Premier Supra Mahumapelo and Mpumalanga Premier David Mabuza - are said to be part of the premier league which wants to secure president Jacob Zuma a third term.
The ANC has however since denied that such a league exists.
Magashule said he witnessed "weak minds" during last week's State of the Nation address in Parliament where Zuma was heckled and the start of his speech delayed by an hour.
"Minister Lindiwe Sisulu says great minds discuss ideas and average minds discuss events and weak minds discuss people. What we see in parliament now is a sign of weak minds," he said.
Opposition parties made things difficult for the president. The DA's MPs heckled, mumbled and laughed throughout Zuma's speech.
This was after the EFF and Cope walked out of the National Assembly.
The EFF walked out an hour after the start of SONA, chanting "Zupta must fall".
While Zuma delivered his speech, mostly focusing on the economy, opposition parties wanted to know if he was going to resign.
"We expected all this drama and we as the ANC say, enough is enough. In which country is the president not respected? You will never see such happen in Zimbabwe or even Botswana," said Magashule.
"We are too patient and too democratic. But now it is the right time for government to act and the president will eventually act," he said.
He also accused the EFF of copying other countries in an effort to gain popularity with citizens.
He said the ANC has been patient and endured the unfair criticism, but that opposition parties who were calling for the president to resign, have shown they would not nurture or groom young leaders.
"No young person will be able to identify with the people who are behaving in such a manner as their role model," he said.

HHH Offers More than Traditional Bike Ride
But some participants choose to get their kicks on a different route.
Sherry Potts, a mountain biker, says, "It's something I enjoy doing. It's a part of Wichita Falls that's exciting for me."
Potts is one just of 200 athletes to take part in this year's mountain bike ride.
For the first time in 30 years, organizers are able to offer a river crossing as part of the event.
Sandy Monson, the executive director of Wichita Falls Streams and Valleys, says, "The river is finally low enough for us to have a river crossing. I know it seems strange since we can't water our yards now but the river's low enough this year to have the crossing."
Getting ready for this year's river crossing started almost as soon as last year's Hotter 'n Hell was over.
Pat Foster, the trail boss, says, "It's absolutely beautiful, and it's a challenge, it's a big challenge. We got major hills, major drops, we got tight corners, we got water crossing."
As most who choose to go off the beaten path already know, mountain biking is a different beast altogether.
More obstacles means more training, but you don't need two wheels to play in the water.
This year's marathoners will also get their chance to make a splash in the competition.
For some, the thrill of competing in every aspect of the Hotter 'n Hell was just too much to pass up.
Called triple-threaters, these health-crazed dare-devils will ride mountain bikes Friday, street bikes Saturday, and run a half marathon on Sunday, which puts a whole new spin on their training.
Diana Dearmond, a triple-threater, says, "Basically you work out five days a week, often times six, just alternating what it is you're practicing whether it's the mountain biking, road biking, or the run so you can simulate what it is you're going to be doing out here Friday, Saturday, and Sunday."
For many involved in the off-road events, it's fitting the 30th year of the Hotter 'n Hell will feature the first river crossing.
"In fact, the athletes will be going across the top of what used to be the original Wichita Falls," Monson says.
Not only does the sight of the river crossing hold some historical significance, it's the light at the end of the tunnel. Just down the path about four-tenths of a mile is the end of the race, and for those competing in the triple threat, their weekend of hell, is over.
And even if they don't win, for these highly-trained, highly-motivated few, the real prize is in the journey.
"It's not necessarily about winning the race, it's about competing in it and finishing in it and having the pride that you did that," Dearmond says.
If you'd like to try your luck crossing the river in the half-marathon or 10K trail runs, there are still spots available.
You can sign up at the MPEC this weekend.
The trail runs start Sunday morning at 7 a.m.

Well folks, it's that time of the month again: DO WANT is here! The editors have assembled and made their picks known. February itself is always a special month: Wonder Festival Winter, Toy Fair, other small expos and most importantly, birthdays! Tomopop turned four and I turned 26.
In this month's installment:
And more! Well, what are you waiting for? Let's check out what everyone loves this month!
Brian Szabelski wants figma Chie and Yukiko
So much to pick from. So little time. I had to wait until just before I finished writing this to make my choice (while that's somewhat normal, I don't normally wait until it's an hour or two before going live!), but I ended up resting on the new figmas from Max Factory in the form of Yukiko and Chie. It's criminal that up until now, the only poseable Persona figures around have been Aegis and Izanagi (a review of the latter is forthcoming), but now we start to get the heroes themselves. I'm hopeful it leands to more in the future, though my wallet somewhat disagrees because I'll be broke if that happens!
Kristina Pino wants Kidrobot and 64 Colors' Supermagical Dunny
Hands down, KR/64 Colors' Supermagical Dunny is my DO WANT this month. I mentioned it in the post and I'm sticking by it. The piece is gorgeous and well priced - not to be missed by fans of the artists or design. I personally can't swing it just now, and as much as I hope that for the success of the artists they completely sell out, I kind of hope this doesn't so I could eventually get it for myself. I'd love to have something like Supermagical Dunny sitting on my shelf as the centerpiece of my vinyl collection (since I don't yet own any pieces around 8" or taller, besides a blank Vinylmation I have reserved for autographs, and my Steamboat Willie Pete).
Pedro Cortes wants Nendoroid Sena Kashiwazaki
There are so many things that I want, but the thing I desire the most at this moment is Nendoroid Sena Kashiwazaki. I'm sure some of it has to do with her being sold out everywhere, but I really like this Nendo! It does a great job capturing her personality and it comes with a bunch of really awesome accessories that work with her frenemy, Nendoroid Yozora. I really wish I hoped on that pre-order when I had a chance, because she is nowhere to be seen at the usual spots. Looks like I'll have to hope I get lucky at a con.
Rio McCarthy wants Kotobukiya's One Coin Persona 4 Figures
Ok, so I originally passed these up because I was all, 'Oh lord.. I love these One Coin figures, but I have so many and no idea where to put them if I ordered them!' Yeah, well, that's about to get passed up. I can't seem to hold myself back from pre-ordering these..! They're SO CUTE. Look. At. Kanji's. Angry. Face. You can't say no to that!! Please hands, please stay away from AmiAmi! We don't have time for this today! WAHUHoiajldi anUWAH.. ARGGGH....!!!! *falls on the floor*
Natalie Kipper wants FuRyu's TsumiNeko (AKA Mew Mew Tower Toy) stacking cat plushes
With so many things to choose from this month, I almost feel guilty having to single out one that must represent my DO WANT for this month. Sorting through all the Prize Fair photos gave me my answer: the TsumiNeko stacking cat plushes. Being an iDevice fangirl and lover of all things feline, how could I not love these goofy plushes? Just seeing them makes me smile. I prefer the fatter ones. The rounder, the better! There is just more to hug that way. If there is any possible way for me to get my hands on their precious plush paws, so help me, I will.
Tianxiao Ma and Emily Smalara want Good Smile's Inori
Tian: With all the toy expos having happened this month, there's no shortage of stuff to covet no matter your tastes. I happen to love expertly sculpted figures of sexy ladies, so my DO WANTs for this month come from Good Smile Company. First up is Inori from Guilty Crown. Her fluttering outfit is deliciously sexy and that color scheme really makes the figure stand out. It's one of those figures that should look good from every angle, so I can't wait to get my hands on it and start photographing.
My second DO WANT is the Kiss Shot Shinobu from the Bakemonogatari franchise. The best thing about that figure is the expression, full of confidence, menace, and maybe even a hint of evil. As with Inori, this figure has a ton of sex appeal, but it's more overt. Shinobu in this form is powerful and seductive, and is the version I wanted to see more of as I watched Bakemonogatari. GSC did a fantastic job with this figure as you can feel her personality and vampiric nature without the use of visual cliches like fangs.
Emily: I'm going to have to second Tian. My Do Want this month is definitely Guilty Crown's Inori. From the moment the series aired last year, I loved everything about the character. Good Smile's down a great job of replicating her appeal in just about every way, from that fantastic pink hair to every little facet of that delicious outfit, and there are very few figures I'd like to add to my collection more at the moment!
Michael Muller and Keith Polott want Hasbro's Fall of Cybertron toy line
Keith: All of them (with the possible exception of Jazz) look absolutely fantastic, and with the game on the horizon looking better and better I cannot wait to add these to my collection. Top of the list are Shockwave and Bruticus, and I'll definitely grab Optimus too, but I have to admit to some confusion on the ol' Dudeicus- first pics showed him with a distinctly different deco, and early news said the deco he appeared in at Toy Fair was just for test shots, but with what seem to be press photos coming out with the new deco I can't figure out what the deal is. Not that it matters- I'll be buying him either way.
Michael: I'll also pick Transformers: Fall of Cybertron's Bruticus. With every different iteration of the Transformers line, I've waited patiently for a new combiner that has the same level of quality as what Hasbro has put out lately. Bruticus' reveal was a great surprise and almost enough to make me forget about the disappointment that was Power Core Combiners. I do agree with Keith. Hasbro really needs to stick with one color or, at the very least, explain the various versions fans have seen.
Chris Seto is shopping for garage kits from Wonder Festival ... in his mind, at least
Oh right... erm. Lemme see. Make that a third for Guilty crown's Ino... *looks at pics* OH GOD, THAT FACE!!! How can they screw up the face so badly?? Especially when they did it so well on the figma!!! Fine, forget that.
I guess my most obvious DO WANTs would be the garage kits I failed to acquire at wonder festival, which would be Erio, Sheryl and the Princess of the Crystal. Out of those, I think the Sheryl will hurt the most. Pretty sure that I'll get another chance at getting the princess at a later event since it's cerberus project who made her but I'm not so sure about Sheryl and Erio! You should see some of the prices the kit went for at auction!! And I didn't even mention the kits which went by me completely like Alba Ruri from Sacred Seven by the principality of Kagutsuchino or Jeanne from Bayonetta by Mr Surprise. IT'S F***** JEANNE!!!
Jonathan Tubbs wants MegaHouse's Rorona
With Wonder Festival, Toy Fair, Prize Fair, and the latest magazine scans, there was so much to choose from for this month's DO WANT. Luckily all these events didn't have much that had me throwing my money at the monitor. Probably the one that will have priority over my bank account is MegaHouse's Rorona from Atelier Rorona. With me being charmed by the characters of Atelier Totori and interested in getting Phat! Company's Totori, MegaHouse's follow up of Totori's teacher is a logical purchase. And since this IS MegaHouse, I'm loving what I'm seeing in terms of quality. The staff, the outfit, the hair, the boots, and even the paint on her knees are just some of the details in this figure that have won me over. Really looking forward to adding this to my collection when she's released.
And so ends another monthly installment of DO WANT from the Tomopop staff. But what about you, Tomopop readers? What do you want from the past month? Hit the comments below and make your voices heard!Photo Gallery: (9 images)

Different (a Manon Maxim Novel) HTML version
A Manon Maxim novel.
(original title: ANDERS, Een Manon Maxim roman)
(Translator from Dutch: Ester Magis)
So here I am, sitting in Jabar's private jet, and on my way to New York to bring a devil into
line or, when it comes to the worst, to get his memory blotted out by Diedie.
I'm having a book with me to kill time and to take my mind off things. Although it isn't my
first order, I'm still nervous. So much could go wrong and I hate making things hot for an
otherkind. They are, after all, just like me and not fully human.
The view is a real bore and the book can't hold my interest, so I decide to keep the pilot some
company. Automatically, I reach for my side where my pistol used to be. O f course I'm not
having it on me right now. The airport security of Ostend would not thank me for that, even
though I have a gun license. It so happens that it is only legitimate in Belgium. I'm missing
my Glock 17 and my, yet illegal, blackjack that's normally in the inside pocket of my leather
I put the book on the empty chair and stand up. It still feels odd to be the only passenger in an
airplane. It's a Falcon 900C that purrs like a spoiled kitten. I've been told that normally it can
seat for about eighteen passengers. Nevertheless, Jabar made it redecorate in order to fit five
luxurious grey leather armchairs, a suite, a large bathroom and a kitchen. Originally, the type
was called Mystère, but it didn't appeal well to the American market. Too bad, because I
think the first name fits us best.
The cockpit's door isn't locked. It would have no use. A locked door, even though it would be
armored, doesn't stop me.
I open the door and look inside. "Tony, I'm here to keep you company. Is that alright?'
"No problem, Manon. Make yourself comfortable.'
The co-pilot isn't present at the moment; he probably retired to the sleeping cabin. I'm taking
his seat, which is at Tony's right hand. The view from the cockpit is far more fascinating than
the one from the little windows where I was sitting first. I'm taking a seat and enjoy myself,
impressed by the mass of clouds we're flying through. Tony is being relaxed, sitting back in
his chair, but he's staying focused. These buttons, pointers and signs, I fail to see what it's all

Gardeners and budget conscience homeowners everywhere are learning the benefits of container gardening with perennials.
With so many varieties of perennials to choose from for sun and shade, it's now possible to create combinations that are just as appealing and colorful as those made with annuals alone, and the best part is that you don't have to replant them every year. Sure, you can mix an annual or two in your perennial combination pot, but that certainly isn't necessary if you choose your perennials wisely. You'll learn more about plant selection below. For now, read on to see why so many people are container gardening with perennials.
Maybe you can identify with the idea of not wanting to spend the time and money on new container plantings every year. But container gardens are also perfect for people who don't have the space for or energy to tend an entire garden. After all, there are far fewer weeds to pull and plants to deadhead in containers! Other people live in apartments or high rises where container gardening is the only option. Some have physical limitations that prohibit them from getting down and dirty in the garden. For them, bringing the containers up to their level for planting is the best option. In short, container gardening with perennials is for everyone!
There are many advantages, over and above cost and convenience, to growing perennials in containers. Here are some you might not have considered:
Perennial containers can be used anyplace you would normally use annuals. In fact, perennials offer you more options for the shade because there is a greater number of varieties that will grow there. Say goodbye to impatiens and hello to hostas, coral bells, lamiums, and many, many more perennials!
Before planting up your containers, decide where you want to place them in the yard. This will help you make wiser decisions on the types of plants to include in the pots. Consider where the primary viewing point will be from and design from that angle. Keep in mind that plants in windy locations or those exposed to the hotter afternoon sun will need to be watered more often than those placed in more sheltered, shadier locations.
Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through each step of the process, from choosing a container, to knowing which perennials to use, to how to maintain and overwinter them.
Before we get into the design principles of container plantings, let's first talk about selecting plants based on their cultural preferences. Most of all, the plants you use have to work together, not just look good together. This means that you will need to pair varieties with similar cultural needs if they are going to be able to grow in the same container. First, pair shade loving perennials with other shade lovers, not with those that prefer sun. Second, pay attention to the type of soil that each plant likes. Important factors include type of soil (sandy v. those rich in humus), pH (acid v. alkaline), and moisture (dry v. moist). Combine only those perennials that enjoy the same cultural requirements and you will have beautiful, hassle-free containers. If you want to grow plants with differing requirements, you can do so, but in separate pots.
The choice of plant material is critical to good design when working in small spaces like containers. Pay particular attention to foliage color, texture, and habit first, and then select plants for their flower color, size, form, and bloom time second. When working with perennials, understand that the flowers are a secondary point of interest because, unlike annuals, they appear only for a limited amount of time. A well-designed perennial container will look great even when the plants are not in bloom.
A landscape designer on Home and Garden television said it best when he said you should design the garden based on "Thrillers, Fillers, and Spillers". This is a handy way to remember the three types of plants essential to good design. "Thrillers" are the plants that command attention, like the tall spike in the center of a pot of geraniums. With perennials, since the blooms are not typically present for a long period, thrillers are usually plants with interesting architectural shape or colored foliage. "Spillers" are the plants that typically spill over the sides of the container, visually blending the container and its contents into one. "Fillers" are the plants that take up the space between the thrillers and the spillers. They typically make the planting look fuller and more finished.
Your container garden can include all three of these design elements (thrillers, fillers, and spillers) or you may choose instead to plant up your container with only one type of plant. Not every container you plant needs to have a combination of different varieties. For greater visual interest, you should include a pot or two of a single plant. For example, a single mature hosta in a large pot is stunning, especially when surrounded by containers of combination plantings.
Some practical considerations to keep in mind when choosing plants for containers:
Chances are, if you have taken the time to design, plant, and tend your perennial container garden all season long, you are going to want to overwinter it. Some gardeners choose to treat perennials like annuals, however, and simply toss them out after the season is over. Others choose to transplant their containerized perennials into the garden for the winter and then start over fresh with new plants in the spring. The choice is yours. If you'd like to try overwintering, read on.
Why do containerized perennials require special treatment to overwinter successfully?
Regardless of your climate, containerized perennials should be watered thoroughly just before the ground freezes to give them a reserve supply to use during warm winter spells. You can also add a few handfuls of snow to the top of the container occasionally throughout the winter (if overwintering under cover); this will provide supplemental water for the plants if the temperatures rise enough for it to melt.
This said, many containerized perennials do not survive the winter because they get too much water and they drown. When the pot accumulates water at the top but the soil is still frozen at the bottom, the roots sit in water until the soil thaws all the way through and the water can escape through the drainage hole at the bottom. Roots hate to sit in water, especially freezing cold water in winter. Avoid this scenario by overwintering your containerized perennials tipped on their side so water cannot accumulate at the top of the pot, or overwinter them under cover where they will not receive much water during winter or early spring before the soil thaws.
There are many differing opinions on how to best overwinter containerized perennials. Some of the methods described here may work for your climate while others may not. Trial and error is the best way to find out what will work best for you.

Account Manager
You love, love, love the brands we work with. You drink Clipper Tea, you eat Dorset Cereals, you bathe in Yeo Valley milk. But most importantly, you can't wait to work with the most creative, open-minded clients on the planet – nice people who trust you and your team to come up with some cracking ideas on a daily basis.
You're so bright your doctor's prescribed you a dimmer switch. You're so multitasking, you're reading this whilst unicycling. You're so self-motivated, you've already applied for the job and you haven't even read the description yet! You obsess about detail, you crush deadlines, you're as persistent as a spider, as organised as the mafia and change gear like Lewis Hamilton. Discrete like Bond, professional like Jobs and you understand why a job description like this should be fun to read.
That's you, and you'll be showing off your ability to complete complex tasks and projects quickly with virtually no guidance by reacting with appropriate urgency to situations that require a quick turnaround, and taking effective action without having to know the whole picture. Sound fun? Sound challenging? Want to bring cakes for the team each morning? Great!
What do our account managers actually do at big fish?
They look after us and our clients to ensure we all deliver our promises. Sometimes, they need to give people a little reminder, a push or even a nudge with the tact and diplomacy of Kofi Annan. They put together proposals, estimates, specifications, schedules and briefs. Occasionally they turn their hand to a bit of planning, research and creative brainstorming. It's even been reported that they've been seen wielding a scalpel, branding a burnisher and making a mockup or two. Our account managers all have superhuman powers.
You will need…
• at least three years' experience in account management (preferably more)
• a good working knowledge of packaging, print and production processes
• experience of commercial brand strategy
• to be comfortable taking ultimate responsibility for quality, deadlines and budgets
• to be able to keep work on brief (as well as on schedule)
• equally strong literacy, numeracy and administrative skills
• to be a whizz at spreadsheets with excellent organisational skills
• to have worked on digital projects as well as print
• to love working with people who treat you like a member of their family
• to live and breath the brands we work with (we only work with brands we'd consume ourselves)
• to love river views stretching the length of the Thames (we have riverside studios)
It would be a real bonus if…
• love dogs (we occasionally have dogs in the studio)
• bake cakes (we have our own kitchen)
How much?
We always start by asking you – what sort of a salary are you looking for? You tell us what you're likely to cost and we'll tell you if our pockets are deep enough.
What next?
If we like the cut of your jib, your CV and the things people say about you we'll invite you over for a cup of tea. We don't like first interviews as they're a tad formal. So, instead, we'll just give you a tour of our place and tell you about us. Then we'll have a chat and ask you to keep us entertained with stories for as long as you or we can bear. If that works, then we'll put you in front of "The Bishop" (that's our nickname for our HR chap). He does all the tests and the tough stuff to make sure you're up to the job. If that goes well, then we'll make you an offer you can't refuse.

But in DC, DE, and NJ I'd be the BG if she wasn't locked up and unloaded in my trunk! That kinda sucks! :mad:

May 2, 2014 - By Katie Roenigk, Staff WriterThe Fremont County 4-H Carnival is this weekend in Riverton, offering games, crafts, prizes and food to all participants.
Organizers say they stuck to tradition when planning this year's carnival, which will feature games that residents have come to expect at the event.
This year's carnival recognizes the 100th anniversary of 4-H in Fremont County.
"We're going to have bingo, a dunk tank, a bounce house, a fishing booth, a feed-the-elephant booth, a basketball hoop shot, a PVC pillow fight booth, a clicker wheel (and) a cake walk," University of Wyoming Fremont County Extension educator Alex Malcolm said. "We'll have lots of different games and activities for families to come and enjoy."
He described some of the less-familiar known booths. For example, he said the elephant activity does not involve actual animals. Instead, volunteers put their arms in long,
gray socks that resemble elephant trunks.
"That one is more for the younger kids," Malcolm said. "The elephant takes a ticket and then hands the kid back a prize."
Older children are more likely to enjoy the PVC pillow fight, he continued. For that event, participants sit suspended on swings made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) irrigation pipe and attempt to knock one another to the ground using pillows.
"The first one that falls off loses," Malcolm said.
A book nook with donated reading material for children will be part of the carnival again this year, and Malcolm said some participants will spend time in a mock jail cell during the event.
Cotton candy, popcorn, hot dogs and drinks also will be available at
The local 4-H centennial is "in the background, kind of overarching everything," Malcolm said.
The carnival is 5-9 p.m. Saturday at the Fremont County Fairgrounds Fremont Center. Admission is free, and games cost 20 cents per ticket. Malcolm said the money funds 4-H functions throughout the year.
"The 4-H clubs are putting it on," he said of the event. "It's a fun family night. ... Come down, visit with each other and support (our) largest out-of-school program."
For more information, call Malcolm at 857-3654.

text: Hi, Lately some of the videos I upload to my Tivo won't play. I get a message to the effect that the copywrite holder won't allow it (or some such). These videos easily play on my PC using VLC media player. So why doesn't Tivo like them? These seem to generally be .MKV files but other .MKV files play fine. I'm using PyTivo to transfer the videos from my PC to Tivo. Thanks, Ed
