"Homeland" — "Q & A": True Lies
By Cindy Davis | TV Reviews | October 29, 2012 | Comments ()
After a whirlwind of episodes that took away our collective breath, "Q & A" was powerfully quiet. Not to say there were no heart-pounding moments, rather, the exhilaration came through the skillful way Carrie Mathison cornered her mouse.
Following Carrie's confrontation and the subsequent rendition-like Brody takedown, the key players end up in the handy-dandy CIA makeshift prison/interrogation room, complete with table cuffs. Surprisingly, or perhaps more because they know they need her, Estes, Saul and Quinn don't stay angry at Carrie more than a few moments. Everyone begrudgingly allows the slim possibility of Carrie's assertion that Brody made her--I'm not sure whether she really believes it herself, or it's just an excuse for her losing control. We understand Quinn's reluctance to let Carrie conduct Brody's interview; is he the only one that doesn't know the Senator will never confess to him, or is he just setting up sympathiser Carrie all along? Thrown into a hotbed of magnificent actors, Rupert Friend has quickly made his own place. Quinn leads Brody through a parade of lies before hitting "Play" on the recovered suicide video, then walks out, leaving Brody to stew. Damian Lewis again does the face morph, as Brody's emotions transform him from nervous to angry, then defiant to deflated.
Did anyone see Quinn's next move coming--when Brody takes the position that he made the suicide video but never actually wore a vest bomb (pretty smart)? Perhaps because we've been preconditioned, when the agent feigns losing control and stabs Brody, I was completely taken aback. But I don't feel too badly, since it seemed to take a moment for Saul to catch on; "So that was all theater." Quinn: "Every good cop needs a bad cop." And finally, we get what we came for. Whether or not Carrie completely lost it when she confessed her knowledge and feelings to Brody, now she plays him like a well-loved instrument. She gently removes his cuffs, caresses him and softly...expertly plucks his every string until he cannot help himself. Brody responds just as he was conditioned to by Nazir. Lewis' face crumbles and as Carrie speaks to Brody, he transforms back to that bearded, dazed POW we saw at "Homeland's" outset. Watching Brody fall apart, Carrie baring her soul, their eyes both filling with tears and then Brody dropping to the floor in the fetal position (just as we've seen Carrie do), it's impossible not to see the bond between these two broken souls.
In between the interrogation scenes, we're treated to sporadic scenes of a mostly clueless, suddenly dejected Jessica running around trying to find the husband she just kicked out. It's a little strange that right after they've separated, her anger has so quickly dissipated and she goes on a mission to find him--it seems conveniently written just so someone will be suspicious over Brody's disappearance. (Better her than Roya, I suppose.) But even more disappointing is the direction writers are taking Dana. There's nothing wrong with a little teenage crushing on the Vice President's son, but this business with the hit and run has veered too far into Kim Bauer territory. The only justification would be if Dana eventually needs to play a little blackmail game with Finn to help her dad.
As expected, Brody has no choice but to work for the CIA. It's a useful truth for Brody to offer when he returns home to Jessica--who stretches credulity by taking back her husband so quickly. But as we've observed, "Homeland" is a show that needs to rubber band the truth a bit so that when we get off the coaster, we want to run right back to get in line and ride again.
Cindy Davis is currently in line for a stormy ride she hopes is not too bumpy.

These are the main sites where you can find more help:
Simutrans is in constant development and you can find bugs.
The game is crashing, flickering or having input problems? Report in Bug Reports.
Graphical problems, wrong vehicle speeds or any other data regarding game objects? Report in the subforum of the pakset.
Any problem with our sites? Report in Web & Wiki.
Simutrans is a modular game, the executable and the game data are separated.
A 'pakset' is what we call the data set that Simutrans needs to run. It contains all the data for the graphics, the individual items (vehicles, roads, railways, buildings and others) and all of the balancing information (such as prices, speeds, capacities and so forth) necessary to make the game complete.
They are called 'paksets' because all the files are compressed (from German 'Paket') to save space as a pak file. Paksets also determine the size of the graphics used, this number is the height and width of one tile in pixels. This size generally is shown at the start of the pakset name, for example, pak64 has tiles with 64px, while pak128 has tiles with 128px. Some paksets don't show a number in their names, but they always state the size when describing the pak.
Simutrans has a large and growing number of paksets, many with specific themes such as pak96.Comic or pak128.Britain. To find more about Simutrans many individual paksets, check the Paksets Page
Simutrans is not bound to a specific scenario data, you can choose the paksets you want. We don't set any pakset as a standard.
Yes and No. There are three main things that lead to an incompatible addon:
There are a number of differences between Simutrans and OpenTTD. The people developing Simutrans focus on different tasks. One of the most notable difference is that cargo, mail and people have destination. Each factory has fixed contracts with just some other factories and won't send or receive cargo from other factories, people want to go and send mail only to some locations.
If you are coming to Simutrans from OpenTTD check our wiki article with the most notable differences.
The PAK file was created to protect the rights of the creator of the file. It was designed specifically not to be unpacked for such reason.
However, take heart! If you can find the original creator, most of the time they would send you some sort of source if they still have it (but if they do not, that is their firm right).
If you're looking to create new objects, check out the wiki or the forum. There's lots of great info there.

I am not able to exactly difference between kernel logical address and virtual address. In Linux device driver book it says that all logical address are kernel virtual address, and virtual address doesn't have any linear mapping. But logically wise when we say it is logical and when we say virtual and in which situation we use these two ?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
The Linux kernel maps most of the virtual address space that belongs to the kernel to perform 1:1 mapping with an offset of the first part of physical memory. (slightly less then for 1Gb for 32bit x86, can be different for other processors or configurations). For example, for kernel code on x86 address 0xc00000001 is mapped to physical address 0x1.
This is called logical mapping - a 1:1 mapping (with an offset) that allows the kernel to access most of the physical memory of the machine.
But this is not enough - sometime we have more then 1Gb physical memory on a 32bit machine, sometime we want to reference non contiguous physical memory blocks as contiguous to make thing simple, sometime we want to map memory mapped IO regions which are not RAM.
For this, the kernel keeps a region at the top of its virtual address space where it does a "random" page to page mapping. The mapping there do not follow the 1:1 pattern of the logical mapping area. This is what we call the virtual mapping.
It is important to add that on many platforms (x86 is an example), both the logical and virtual mapping are done using the same hardware mechanism (TLB controlling virtual memory). In many cases, the "logical mapping" is actually done using virtual memory facility of the processor, so this can be a little confusing. The difference therefore is the pattern according to which the mapping is done: 1:1 for logical, something random for virtual.
Basically there are 3 kinds of addressing, namely
Now, in linux, Kernel memory (in address space) is beyond 3 GB ( 3GB to 4GB), i.e. 0xc000000..The addresses used by Kernel are not Physical addresses. To map the virtual address it uses PAGE_OFFSET. Care must be taken that no page translation is involved. i.e. these addresses are contiguous in nature. However there is a limit to this, i.e. 896 MB on x86. Beyond which paging is used for translation. When you use vmalloc, these addresses are returned to access the allocated memory.
In short, when someone refers to Virtual Memory in context of User Space, then it is through Paging. If Kernel Virtual Memory is mentioned then it is either PAGE_OFFSETed or vmalloced address.
(Reference - Understanding Linux Kernel - 2.6 based )
Kernel logical addresses are mappings accessible to kernel code through normal CPU memory access functions. On 32-bit systems, only 4GB of kernel logical address space exists, even if more physical memory than that is in use. Logical address space backed by physical memory can be allocated with
Virtual addresses do not necessarily have corresponding logical addresses. You can allocate physical memory with
Simply speaking, virtual address would include "high memory", which doesn't do the 1:1 mapping for the physical address,if your RAM size is more than the address range of kernel(typically,For 1G/3G in X86,your RAM is 3G but your kernel addressing range is 1G) and also the address return from kmap() and vmalloc(), which requires the kernel to establish page table for the memory mapping. since logic address is always memory mapped by the kernel(1:1 mapping), you don't need to explicitly call kernel API,like set_pte to set up the page table entry for the particular page.
so virtual address can't be logic address all the time.

Santa Fe man convicted in 2012 party killings
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A m[auth] an accused of fatally shooting two men at a Santa Fe-area Christmas party in 2012 has been found guilty of the slayings.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports (http://bit.ly/1d4nyO5) a jury convicted 19-year-old Joe Rivera on Saturday of one count each of second-degree murder and voluntary manslaughter.
Prosecutors say Rivera shot 23-year-old John Griego and 29-year-old Nicholas Baker outside of Griego's home on Christmas Day.
They say Rivera fired a second bullet into Griego while he lay wounded, leading to the second-degree murder charge.
Jurors also found him guilty of evidence tampering and conspiracy to tamper with evidence.
David Silva, Rivera's attorney, says his client faces more than 30 years in prison.
Rivera says he was defending himself and his 16-year-old brother from Griego and another man.

Just amazing. The colors and wide capture is absolutely breathtaking. Gorgeous.
Such an incredible, beautiful shot. The leading line of the path is incredible, as are the Vs in the field... the sky color is gorgeous, also! Very, very, very nice shot.
great job! I really like it ~!
gorgeous and intricate, lovely pano!!
stunning 10 out of 10
Whoa... that looks amazing.
I love the light, and perspective
Can You share in higher resolution for wallpaper?
Can You share in higher resolution for wallpaper?
oh so beautiful! extremely clear and vivid.
Wow .... so amazing! I'm in awe of this photo
are there any significant marks of where Attila was when roamed/besieged the Romans ... any land marks or anything? Also do Hungarians consider themselves of off Asiatic decent since Huns came from the East and pretty much caused Havoc amongst the Romans and other ethnic groups... also I know Hungarians have integrated with other European ethnic groups... nice shot nonetheless...

text: My friend really likes Gallade. I promised him to make the best team I could for the green knight. It ended up being the most effective team I've made so far, finally pushing me out of the 1500s to 1600s in Showdown. Hoping to still climb, here's what I got: The uh... team: The main goal of the team is to eliminate Gallade's threats/counters so that he can freely bulk-up and become unstoppable. That means eliminating ghost, flying, and psychic types. While keeping the bladed poke alive isn't necesary for victory, he's definitely take two or three other mons down with him. Jolteon @ Choice Specs Trait: Volt Absorb EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk Timid Nature - Thunder - Volt Switch - Shadow Ball - Hidden Power [Ice] I have absolutely fallen in love with specs Jolteon. The stab Volt Switch with specs does great amounts of damage, and can act as a "Eh, I don't know what to send out, I'll just Volt Switch" Pokemon. And of course, he doesn't just have to "keep momentum" as they call it. His speed and power allows him to eliminate slower pokemon, which is especially helpful in getting rid of flying types that might try to stop Gallade. His biggest problem is ground types and volt absorbers, who when present force me to eliminate them first before making Jolteon a real offensive presence. Sometimes a well predicted HP ice can alleviate this problem. Speaking of HP Ice, apparantly it can OHKO Breloom. Who knew? Finally, the ability Volt absorb can offer free switch ins from Politoed and Tentacruel, which is much appreciated since Jolteon can't take a hit well. Scizor @ Choice Band Trait: Technician EVs: 248 HP / 44 Atk / 216 Spd Adamant Nature - Bullet Punch - Superpower - Pursuit - U-turn Scizor is just a good pokemon in general. Will this guy ever stop being OU? Well, he's got one main job on the team: Trapping. Can't have ghosts murdering Gallade, or psychics halting his attacks. Other than that, he does Scizor things. Stop toxic, murder Ttar, Revenge kill, etc. Like I said, good in general. Oh, and I suppose he's a good switch in for grass moves. Politoed @ Choice Scarf Trait: Drizzle EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP Timid Nature - Hydro Pump - Ice Beam - Perish Song - Hidden Power [Grass] Weather isn't necessary to make this team work, but it definitely helps. Ferrothorn enjoys having fire weakness lowered (sometimes it actually helps), Tentacruel becomes a viable wall with the recovery, and Jolteon's Thunder becomes 100% accurate. Oh, and of course the reason Politoed even has a scarf: Hydropump rips things up. Oh yes, let's not forget that changing the weather... changes the weather. This can screw up other teams, especially once their weather inducer is gone. Finally, Politoed is a REALLY good switch in for the two fire weaknesses. Ferrothorn @ Leftovers Trait: Iron Barbs EVs: 168 SDef / 252 HP / 88 Def Relaxed Nature - Thunderwave - Stealth Rock - Leech Seed - Protect Ferrothorn... that wonderful little... er, big... heavy wall.... yeah. I opted not to carry spikes, as I'm more concerned about hurting flying types, and to be honest if I can only have one hazard I'd rather pick the one that hits everybody. Leech seed not only acts as recovery, but it makes players by far less likely to keep a pokemon in, even if they could do tremendous damage to Ferrothorn. Tentacruel @ Black Sludge Trait: Rain Dish EVs: 252 HP / 236 Def / 20 Spd Bold Nature - Toxic - Rapid Spin - Surf - Protect Tentacruel, the only pokemon really dependent on the weather. I used to run Toxic spikes on it, but this team is by no means geared toward stall. The ability to instantly put a death timer on a threat, (especially flying and levitating ones) is much more useful." I also opted for Surf over Scald, since I picked Toxic, and Surf does such respectable damage in the rain. Gallade (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Justified EVs: 240 HP / 40 Atk / 216 SDef / 12 Spd Careful Nature - Drain Punch - Ice Punch - Shadow Sneak - Bulk Up It's not Reuniclus or Conkeldurr, but that's ok. Gallade is deceptively strong, being able to take special attacks with a special defense that most wouldn't expect. And of course once the bulk ups start, it's time to heal with Drain punch. He needs all the team support he can get though, as having even one pokemon resistant to drain punch could cut short what may have been a sweep. The Shadow Sneak is a weird priority move, but can help finish off come potential counters with enough bulk ups. Ice punch can remove a lot of flying types that may attempt to stop him, like Gliscor and Dragonite. Gallade in the end, is the main offensive force of the team, even sweeping while paralyzed or toxic poisoned. The team has the most trouble with (ironicaly) rain, since I can't eliminate the enemy weather, and Thundurus and Tornadus Therian can cause major mayhem. Electric immunity and Hurricane cause me alot of problems. Breloom also causes me grief, being only killed by HP ice, or a fully buffed Gallade.

I have added one custom field on Product edit page for "Product tagline" using Advance Custom Fields
It stores value on "wp-postmeta" in "meta_value" field.
so in search query right now it search with "title only"
let me explain you with example :)
for e.g Product title(which is default post title) is "apple macbook"
and Product tagline (custom field) is "500GB, very slim, powerfull".
so if i start to write "powerfull" in search textbox then, search popup will show us "apple macbook" product.
I hope you understand my problem.
If it is available in PRO version then please suggest me, i will buy also.

Rotary Club to Host Great Pumpkin Race
Henrico Citizen Staff Reports 10/28/10
The Rotary Club of Short Pump will host its inaugural Great Pumpkin Race 5k on Saturday, Oct. 23, beginning at 8:30 a.m. at Deep Run Park, to raise money for PolioPlus and The Rotary Foundation.
The race will consist of a 5k run/walk and a Fall Family Festival including music, costume contest, a children's play area, family activities and Halloween treats and refreshments for all participants.
"This event is a wonderful opportunity to support a great cause, and have a great time doing it," said Kate Wagner, president of the Rotary Club of Short Pump. "It is a community focused event that will have an impact across the globe."
Rotary International's mission is to end polio throughout the world. The organization's efforts have reduced the number of polio cases by more than 99 percent, resulting in the prevention of 250,000 deaths and the prevention of five million instances of childhood paralysis.
"Richmond is a running town," said Pete Williamson, Rotary Club of Short Pump member and race organizer. "It is also a community that wants to make a difference. We think The Great Pumpkin Race will resonate with those who enjoy staying healthy and active and that want to help rid the world of an awful disease once and for all."
First Capital Bank and HBW Insurance & Financial Services have signed on as title sponsors. Other sponsors include 3Sports, ActumHR, Allstate, Blue Saki Social Media, Diamond Springs, Dominion Partners, Hewlett-Packard, Kasch, Levitch, McAleer & Associates, and Patient First.

Is there a way to assign a function (like cut/copy/paste) to the middle mouse button or scroll wheel in Windows 7?
Try X-Mouse!
Out of the box, no, the mouse button is used for putting the machine in scroll mode. If you have a Microsoft or Logitech mouse, there is some driver software (eg Intellipoint) that allows greater customization of the mouse buttons (including middle scroll button).
You can however find software (usually free) that gives you some of this functionality. The most popular of these is: X Mouse Button Control: http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMouseButtonControl.htm
Another possibility is to use AutoHotkey and assign the middle button to the action you want to perform. The example below sends a "back" signal when on a web page (to visit the previous page)

ODT Online

Stanley Paris has announced he will make another attempt at
sailing solo around the globe, starting in November.
The former Dunedin resident had hoped to become the oldest
and fastest person to sail solo around the world from
Bermuda, by breaking the record set in 1986 by the late Dodge
Morgan, who did it in 150 days, aged 54.
Dr Paris (76) was forced to pull out of his attempt to break
that record in January when equipment on his yacht Kiwi
Spirit began to fail in the South Atlantic Ocean.
There were concerns about the integrity of the rigging system
on the yacht, and ultimately Dr Paris' safety, as he prepared
to enter the Southern Ocean.
At the time, he was adamant there would be no second attempt.
But he now appears to have changed his mind.
He has been in extensive meetings with sail makers,
designers, builders and others during the past month to
determine the best course of action that would restore his
confidence in the boat and its fittings.
''There is no point in starting again if I cannot have a boat
in which I have complete confidence, and which has been
adapted in every way possible for a solo sailor of my age and
Dr Paris said Kiwi Spirit had not only been ''made
whole again'', but made stronger, and he was more confident
about setting forth again.
''Should I fail a second time, and the odds are of course
high for many reasons, in addition to breakages, know that
there will not be a third try as there is a limit to my wife
Catherine's tolerance for such things.''
Records up for grabs
• To be the first to sail from St Augustine, solo, non-stop
and non-assisted around the world.
• To break the existing circumnavigation record of 150 days
from Bermuda.
• To be the first to do it environmentally friendly.
• To be the oldest to do it solo.

If I were to > provide a patch that did this for x86, is the above interface OK? Is > there a better one? Does anyone know how C and Fortran compilers and libraries handle this issue? ("info gcc" doesn't give me any hits in the index on "mmx" or "pentium"..) How important is this for performance? How many flags like this are needed these days, and how complicated are their interactions? If the number of flags is small, their interactions simple, and the performance increase significant, this approach seems basically reasonable to me, but I'd suggest a few tweaks: 1. I'm not sure it should be an optimization quality: (DECLAIM (TARGET-FEATURES :PENTIUM :MMX)) might be better, since I'm not completely convinced it's logically an optimization (any more than e.g. DYNAMIC-EXTENT is), and since this way people using their code on other systems which don't support this TARGET-FEATURES stuff can use CL's (DECLAIM (DECLARATION TARGET-FEATURES)) as it's intended to be used. 2. If it's not actually interacting with *FEATURES* (not e.g. using *FEATURES* for its default values) then some name which doesn't refer to "features" might be better, (DECLAIM (TARGET-SYSTEM-HAS :PENTIUM :MMX)) or something. 3. CMU CL feature names have historically been unclear about things like whether they they mean "version 17 exactly" or "version greater than or equal to 17", sometimes causing problems. If you end up naming new features, I encourage you to give them names like PENTIUM-PRO-OR-LATER or >=486 if that's what they mean; and if you end up using old feature names, please provide documentation of your understanding of the feature meaning if it's more precise than the existing documentation. If the number of flags is large or the interactions are complicated, it might be worth specifying a more expressive system which includes e.g. explicit information on which features override which other features, error-checking for incompatible features, and so forth. Or if that's premature now but a distinct possibility down the road, it might be worth anticipating it at least in the documentation and perhaps in the interface as well. -- William Harold Newman <william.newman@...> who can't reach SourceForge CVS or HTTP or SSH today, and isn't happy about it PGP key fingerprint 85 CE 1C BA 79 8D 51 8C B9 25 FB EE E0 C3 E5 7C

My sound card is onboard (MSI-MS 7693), and always will be detected automatically by windows after re-installing windows (Detected true driver: RealTek), its been a week every time i power my pc on, after login to windows, it starts detecting wrong audio device (it detects nVidia High Definition Audio instead of RealTek) and try to install it and every time fails, and result is i have no sound! what is problem and how can i solve it? re-installing windows is a real mass and i try to avoid!
Try clicking on the button down right on the taskbar, where you can set the volume. Open, and click on "mixer". In the "Device"-area, you can click on this dropdown menu and choose between the outputs. Choose your Realtek driver there.
Similar to RnBandCrunk answer, but I suggest right clicking on the speaker symbol in the task bar (near the clock) and selecting playback devices:
Under the playback tab you will see what is available - select the device you want to use and set it as default.
Problem was caused by installing NVidia Graphic Card update, it was included with HD Audio Driver and made conflicts with previous installed driver. I restored my windows to before installing that update and everything works fine.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/101,362, filed Aug. 3, 1993, now abandoned.
The present invention relates in general to the manufacture of textile prostheses such as, for example, tubular prostheses (with a linear or branched development) for the replacement of vessels or patches of prosthetic material intended to be used in local repair operations.
In a solution widely known in the art, such prostheses are manufactured by a textile process such as, for example, a warp knitting process.
In particular, the act of choosing an arrangement of the warp yarn on the frame such that the final product has a general velvet-like appearance over all (velour or double velour) is known (see for example the U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,047,252 and 4,193,137).
It is equally known that a product made by a textile manufacturing process, which is very good as regards softness and the presence and nature of the velour effect, has an equivalent permeability to liquids (and therefore to blood) which is too high. In other words, if the prosthesis were to be used as obtained from the knitting process, at least in the initial phase after implant it would not ensure effective containment of the blood fluid inside the vessel.
For this reason, a process is known (see the U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,853,462, 3,986,828 and 4,209,859) involving subjecting the fabric to shrinking. This process is generally executed chemically by means of reagents which cause the yarn constituting the fabric to swell, thereby shortening and widening the yarn itself and thus reducing the spaces or gaps between adjacent yarns in the fabric. In this way it is possible significantly to reduce the fabric permeability to fluids.
Leaving aside any problems of cost, this treatment (usually carried out with solvating and swelling agents which attack the material constituting the yarn with which the fabric has been manufactured) weakens the yarn itself which leads to a corresponding reduction in the mechanical strength of the fabric constituting the prosthesis.
In addition, in the--very frequent--case of the fabric having a velvet-like appearance, with effect loops projecting from the body formed by the foundation yarn, the chemical reagents are found to act indiscriminately both on the foundation yarn and on the effect yarn. Now, while shrinkage is beneficial as far as the foundation yarn is concerned, to reduce permeability to fluids, it is not equally so as far as the effect loops are concerned which, on the contrary, would preferably retain their original lengths, seeing that the final objective is to obtain a compact fabric with a high degree of velvet effect. At least in principle, in order to avoid sacrificing the abundant velvet effect of the finished fabric, one could consider compensating for the shrinking of the effect loops by an additional overfeed of the effect yarn during knitting. However, if the machine is operated with a high degree of overfeed of the effect yarn, knitting conditions are fairly critical, especially as regards the possible appearance of faults. If such faults are a nuisance in normal fabrics, they may have disastrous consequences in fabrics for vascular prostheses.
The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a process for the manufacture of textile prostheses that, while maintaining the advantages intrinsic to the prior art, especially as regards the criteria of fabric formation and the obtaining of an end product with an abundant velvet effect, enables the production of an end product with reduced permeability to fluids without any of the disadvantages described above as typical of the prior art.
According to the present invention, this object is achieved thanks to a process having the characteristics specifically claimed in the claims which follow. The invention also relates to a textile prosthesis which can be produced by such a process.
The invention will now be described, purely by way of non-limitative example, with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
FIGS. 1 and 2 show a first warp knitted structure which can be made by the process of the invention.
FIG. 3 shows a second warp knitted structure usable for carrying out the invention,
FIG. 4 shows a further knitted structure, of an innovative type, which may also be produced by the process of the invention, and
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the variation in heat-shrinkability characteristics (percentage shrinkage) of a yarn which may be used in the process of the invention as a function of the conditions of manufacture of the yarn itself.
FIGS. 1 and 3 show two warp knitted structures obtained by the interlinking (in a known manner which does not require a specific description here as it is in itself not relevant to the understanding of the invention) of a so-called foundation yarn 1 (shown as light) and a so-called effect yarn 2 (shown as dark).
Naturally, since warp knitting is being considered, the yarns 1 and 2 are in fact constituted by respective families of yarns (or warps). Later in the description, and in the claims which follow, reference will be made, in general, to yarns, foundation yarns and effect yarns respectively, it being understood that these phrases in fact cover the respective warp families.
In general terms, it may be said that the foundation yarn 1 is intended to form the base or foundation structure of the fabric, while the effect yarn 2 is intended to form loops which, in the end product, project outwardly (from one or both sides of the fabric) so as to form a velvet or velour.
In the specific case, the warp knitted structure of FIG. 1 may be defined, in textile terminology, as a counterposed tricot-tricot type structure while the knitted structure of FIG. 3 may be said to have a counterposed tricot reverse locknit structure.
The warp knitted structure of FIG. 4 may be defined on the other hand as a so-called double-needle overlap tricot structure.
In this case, the foundation yarn 1 forms a far denser structure than the foundations of the fabrics of FIGS. 1 and 3: this is due to the fact that, in the fabric of FIG. 4, the foundation yarn 1 takes part in the formation of loops in two lines in each course of knitting.
A salient characteristic of the solution of the invention is the fact that, for the foundation yarn 1, a yarn, for example of polyester, is used which has a considerable shrinkage capacity, that is an "effective degree" of heat shrinkability. For example, the foundation yarn 1 used to form the structures illustrated in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 may have a capacity to shrink at 100� C., for example in boiling water, of the order of 20-35%, with a preferred value of around 25-30% and in any case above around 10%. On the other hand, for the effect yarn 2, a substantially stabilized (heat stable) yarn is used, that is a yarn that, under the same conditions, shrinks only slightly (0.5-5%, with a preferred value of 1-1.5%).
It follows that, according to the invention, a textile prosthesis may be manufactured by first producing (by known methods) a structure such as one of those illustrated in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 with the use of a foundation yarn 1 with a high degree of heat shrinkability paired with an effect yarn 2 with a low degree of heat shrinkability which is overfed to the extent necessary to obtain the desired velvet effect.
Subsequently, the structure thus obtained is subjected to a heat treatment (for example by immersion in boiling water) so as to shrink the foundation yarn 1 until the foundation achieves the desired degree of compactness.
Since the effect yarn 2 is of a stabilised type, the heat treatment has no appreciable effect on the effect loops, whereby the velvet effect is totally maintained and, in fact, accentuated as schematically illustrated in FIG. 2, which shows the structure of FIG. 1 after heat treatment.
This result is obtained without damaging the yarns in any way, and especially the foundation yarn 1 which thus retains all its mechanical strength.
The yarns 1 and 2 may be smooth or textured. However it appears preferable to use a smooth yarn for the highly shrinkable yarn (foundation yarn 1) but a textured stabilised yarn for the stabilised yarn (effect yarn 2).
The preferred yarn count range varies from 22 to 84 dtex with a filament/yarn count of from 1.1 to 2.0 dtex. The solution which is most preferred at present is around 44 dtex with 24-30 filaments (from 1.8 to 1.45 dtex/filament).
The low shrinkage yarn (effect yarn 2) is fed with an overfeed ratio of from 1.1 to 1.5 (the preferred solution being 1.2 to 1.35) in such a way that it forms loops either on one or on both sides of the fabric (velvet effect). If the warps are arranged on the frame in such a way that the stitches of the high-shrinkage yarn (foundation yarn 1) cover those of the other warp (effect yarn, the solution of FIGS. 1 and 2 should be particularly noted), it is possible to obtain a surface with deeper effect loops on one side of the fabric than on the other (on this point see U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,047,252 and 4,193,137). In particular, in the case of a tubular prosthesis, preference is usually given to deeper loops on the outer surface of the prosthetic vessel than on the inner surface.
Compared to the structure of FIGS. 1 and 2, the structures of FIGS. 3 and 4 have the advantage of ensuring that the foundation layer is more compact. In any case, the fact that the foundation yarn 1 is constituted by a highly heat-shrinkable yarn (in the terms set out above) offers the advantage of allowing the fabric to be subjected to heat shrinking, carried out, for example, by immersing the fabric (in particular already in the shape of a prosthesis, for example a tubular or Y-shaped prosthesis) in boiling water. Under the effect of this heat, the highly shrinkable (for example 20-35%) foundation yarn shortens, thereby rendering the foundation structure adequately compact and thus controlling its permeability. Unlike the effect of chemical shrinkage treatments, the shortening action affects only the foundation yarn 1 and not the effect loops 2 formed by a stabilised yarn. The latter do not shrink and therefore preserve in full the velvet effect created by the loops. It may be seen that, on the contrary, this effect is further enhanced as a direct result of the fact that the shrinkage involves only the foundation yarn 1 and not the effect yarns 2 (see FIG. 2).
The non-stabilised (highly shrinkable) yarn used for the foundation yarn 1 is obtained in preference by controlling the conditions in which the yarn is drawn during manufacture.
In general, in a widely known solution--see for example the article: "Vom LOY zum FOY: Herstellung und Eigenschaften glatter Filamentgarne" taken from the Chemiefasern/Textilindustrie 37./89 Jahrgang, of September 1987--synthetic yarns used in the textile industry (where it is obviously desired to reduce this shrinkage as far as possible as this characteristic is regarded in this industry as entirely negative and damaging) are obtained by a spinning and drawing process.
In particular, the yarn is exposed to a heat source, for example by advancing it along a heated plate, while under drawing conditions (for example between two motor-driven rolls).
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the percentage shrinkage values in boiling water (on the ordinate) encountered during the drawing of a polyester yarn as a function of the spinning rate (meters/minute on the abscissa).
Both curves a and b relate to percentage shrinkage values in boiling water of polyester yarns extruded at different rates after further drawing to obtain an extensibility of 30%. Curve a, relating to a yarn drawn without any use of heat, shows how under these conditions residual percentage shrinkage values are typically found to be over 20%. Curve b, on the other hand, shows how shrinkage values obtained through conventional textile industry procedures (drawing with heat application) are always considerably lower than the value given above. In particular, the curve b shows percentage shrinkage values that are normally between 10 and 15%. In the textile industry, yarn treated in this way is usually further treated with a texturising treatment in such a way that, by regulating (in a known manner) the texturising parameters, it is possible to reduce shrinkage in boiling water to about 1%. Shrinkage values of this order may be adopted, for example, for the effect yarn 2 of FIGS. 1 to 4.
The solution of the invention thus permits the selective shrinking of a fabric forming, for example, a vascular prosthesis in such a way as to reduce its permeability to fluids (and in particular to blood fluid) thereby avoiding the traditional disadvantages of chemical processes (weakening of the fabric, reduction of mechanical strength).
In addition, the shrinking operation is more economical as it does not require the use of special chemical substances but only the immersion of the prosthesis in boiling water.
Furthermore, the solution of the invention permits selective shrinking, that is, shrinking which affects only the foundation yarn 1 and not the effect yarn 2 (velvet effect) of the prosthesis. Therefore the fact that the effect yarn does not shrink enables its rate of overfeed relative to the foundation yarn to be kept within reasonable values (for example 1.1 to 1.5) during the knitting of the fabric, thereby avoiding critical working conditions, especially as far as knitting faults are concerned.
The structure of FIG. 4 may be seen essentially as resulting from the integration of a double-needle overlap pattern foundation (yarn 1) with an effect yarn (yarn 2) knitted into the double-needle overlap foundation by methods similar to those used to knit the effect yarn 2 of the fabrics of FIGS. 1 to 3. In practice, in the structure of FIG. 4 there is a loop of effect yarn 2 (overfed so as to obtain a velvet effect) for each foundation loop, defined by two lengths of yarn 1.
As already stated, the choice of a double-needle overlap pattern for the foundation structure 1 is advantageous as it provides a foundation which is intrinsically very compact and therefore not very permeable. These properties are magnified by heat shrinkage.

Beyond Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevards
We should emphasize not Negro History, but the Negro in history. What we need is not a history of selected races or nations, but the history of the world void of national bias, race hate, and religious prejudice. - Dr. Carter G. Woodson (1875-1950)

Received bike in a ship to store transaction. when i assembled bike i had to unbend the front fork axle holder slot cause it was bent and wheel would not fit. also the seat post was too big on the end to fit into the frame, so i had to cut the bottom of the seat post off in order to have it fit. lastley the rear brake, sprocket assembly does not work smoothly.ie.. when you are coasting the chain jumps and you can feel the "grabbing" in the pedals. all in all i am very disapointed in this bike. i shold have gotten the $88 huffy even though i did not like the color.

This is a great film for the entire family to enjoy. No, it is not historically accurate, just good, clean fun.
I love movies from the 50's. If you like a classy movie with lots of laughs and music of course! lol its a musical but not as much as some. Doris Day plays hillbilly Calamity Jane very well with Howard Keel as Wild Bill. Good movie would recommend everyone to watch.
I grew up listening to the soundtrack of this movie. I always made sure I could watch it on TV when it was scheduled to be on. This is a great love story and it also contains a good portion of comedy.
Doris Day is hysterical in this film. You love her from the start. Great movie! Doris Day and Howard Keel have great chemistry and delightful voices to listen to. I recommend this feel good film.
I grew up watching Doris Day movies because my mom loved them so much. This is a great movie with great music and a wonderful love story!! I recommend to anyone that loves older musical movies.
One of the best movies ever made. The songs alone make it a great movie. But when you add Doris Day it is a classic all the way.
What a great classic Doris Day movie.
One of my favorite musicals,
Good picture quality on the dvd.
I watched this movie a lot as a kid, because it is my mom's favorite. The songs are the best!
This is GREAT OLD MUSICAL. ALOT OF GREAT SONGS.THREE GENERATIONS WATHED THIS
Very interaining movie. I love Doris Day Movies
Love this movie, lots of action, musical.
Great musical - a lot of fun
Thank you

Football is completely changing the lives of this young man with Asperger's Syndrome and his family for the better
Miracles elevate Salem Hills Skyhawks on and off the field
Though their record matched Springville's at 6-1, the Skyhawks were very much the underdog. Salem Hills had never beaten nemesis Springville.
Then came the second half.
The Skyhawks clawed their way to victory by rattling off 35 unanswered points and showed just what they're made of and why they are now 7-1.
The Skyhawks did all the great things that amazing teams do: cause and recover fumbles, make gutsy defensive stops, grab interceptions and turn them into touchdowns, make jaw-dropping catches on textbook throws, inspire each other and whip the crowd into a frenzied mob of believers.
For Jill, however, the most miraculous part of the game was not found in the stunning 35-27 finish or the spectacular plays that led to it. The real miracle was found in the emotional reactions of her son to it all. Sabin didn't catch a single pass, make one tackle or take one snap. In fact, he didn't play a single down. Nevertheless, he exploded with joy with his teammates.
That was the real miracle. That was the reason for her tears.
As for the deep love Sabin has developed for his new friends? Apparently it goes both ways. The Skyhawk football team is not afraid to show it in big, public, life-changing ways.
That was very evident when the bus full of jubilant Skyhawks pulled out of Springville's parking lot that night and the victory chants began in earnest.
First it was "Vegas! Vegas!" for Jordan Taylor, who had two interceptions, including a pick-six deep in the fourth quarter to seal the deal.
Then the chanting turned into "Coach! Coach!" for Higginson, who sources say gave an unforgettable halftime speech about not giving up.
Finally, all eyes turned to Wilson and with a deafening roar, 48 voices spontaneously erupted in one last chant, "Sabin! Sabin! Sabin!"
That's what true friends do.

Oracle Debuts Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel
The relationship between Oracle and Red Hat becomes even more strained.
At Oracle OpenWorld Oracle announced the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel. Oracle touts the kernel as being more than 75 percent faster than Red Hat according to OLTP benchmarking.
The kernel itself is based on the 2.6.32 mainline kernel. It allows for existing Oracle Linux 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 customers to upgrade without reinstalling the entire operating system. Oracle says that third party applications for both RHEL 5 and Oracle Linux will run unabated. At the same time, however, the announcement slips in a mention that from this point forward the Unbreakable Kernel is the only kernel Oracle recommends using.
Between this announcement at Red Hat's decision to stop support Xen in favor of the KVM virtualization technologies that came with the acquisition of Qumranet, it looks like the future of Red Hat and Oracle compatibility is a shaky one.

Travel to Bolivia and experience the highlights of this breathtaking region
Explore the best of Bolivia on this adventure through lively cities, breathtaking scenery and colourful market towns. From the extreme elevation of bustling La Paz through the history of Potosi and on to the surreal salt flats of Salar de Uyuni, there's a diverse mix of adventures and activities that deliver excitement, intrigue and pleasure. Discover the highlights of this fascinating part of South America and be swept away by the colour and beauty flourishing in this corner of the earth.
- See the many different sides to Bolivia in La Paz and let the city's weird and wacky Witches Market cast a spell over you
- Choose to explore the extra-terrestrial landscapes of Valle de la Luna, a maze of canyons and colossal clay spires that feels like the surface of the Moon
- Discover the heart of Bolivia in the elegant colonial architecture and immaculately landscaped gardens of historical Sucre
- Delve into the steep streets and Spanish colonial architecture of Potosi, once one of the richest cities in the world
- Empty, haunting and spectacular, the laws of earthly physics bend on the surreal Salar de Uyuni saltpan – experience it on a three-day 4WD adventure across the rocky Atacama Desert
Day 1 La Paz
Notes: Altitude Sickness – This trip visits places that are at high altitude, and as a result some people can suffer from altitude sickness, regardless of age or physical health. Please see the 'Health' section of the trip notes for more important information on this. Death Road Biking To Coroico – Please note that our leaders are not able to organize this activity for you due to safety concerns. Injuries are very common and there have been a number of fatal accidents.
Day 2 La Paz
Notes: This trip is part of a combination trip. As such, some of your fellow travellers may have started their trip in Lima, 15 days ago on Peru and Bolivia Uncovered (GGSUC).
Day 3 Uyuni Town
Notes: The area is notorious for being extremely cold, so it's important to pack warm clothing and base layers.
Day 4 Salar de Uyuni
Notes: Please be aware that from December to March, there's a risk of the salt lake being flooded. If this is the case, the itinerary will be adapted to accommodate this.
Day 5 Andean Desert
Notes: Accommodation in the desert is basic. Shower facilities can be unreliable and cold, as the pipes often freeze in the winter months. Electricity is generated by solar panels, so there won't be enough power to charge electronic devices. The Desert is at high altitude and can experience extremely cold weather, particularly at night. In the rainy season, the itinerary may need to be altered depending on the accessibility of roads. Be aware, this trip can be tough going. There will be long travel days in 4WDs on dusty washboard tracks, freezing temperatures, basic toilet facilities and multishare accommodation. However, without a doubt, this amazing journey will be one of the main highlights of your trip to South America.
Day 6 Uyuni Town
Day 7 Potosi
Notes: Potosi Mine Tours – We strongly recommend against doing a tour that enters the mine, and should you do so anyway it will be at your own risk. Please note that our leaders are not able to organize this activity for you due to the safety concerns.

Fantastic experience! Wonderful to meet many friendly, typical Bolivians. Salt flats and 4wd portion was exceptional. High altitude was a challenge and not for anyone with breathing difficulty.

Bolivia Highlights , June 2016
Kristina Whelan
Salt Flats and desert tour are cool. Again I think that could be better organized we did fluff around on the first day too much and was annoying. Also Bolivia is not the best place to go if you can't eat gluten. Not so many options and locals will tell you something has no wheat when your body is telling you is does. They lie to get your business they don't care. Whereas other South American countries who has cealiac societies like Peru have awesome options and just better food in general. And cleaner food service preparation. I was in Peru for longer then Bolivia and didn't get sick once. I was constantly unwell in Bolivia.
