text: pensions New Report Shows Illinois' Long Pension Struggle By Amanda Vinicky • Sep 29, 2014 Brian Mackey Politicians, public employee unions and others spent the last several years focused on pensions. Illinois racked up a $100 billion unfunded liability -- largely because lawmakers didn't pay the state's share of its workers retirement benefits. Eric Madiar is the top attorney for the Illinois Senate President. He found a report that said Illinois' pension systems were on the "verge of insolvency" in 1917. "...and it stemmed primarily from the fact had not been properly been financing pensions."--- Eric Madiar, Senate Democrats' Chief Legal Counsel Unions Hint Lawmakers Missed Chance To Negotiate Pensions By Amanda Vinicky • Jul 28, 2014 State of Illinois Legislators passed a law overhauling the state's retirement systems. Soaring pension debt remains a concern. The law's constitutionality is also in question. It reduces workers' and retirees' benefits, and raises the retirement age. Judge Puts Hold On Pension Reform Law By Guy Stephens & Amanda Vinicky • May 15, 2014 flickr user / Brian Turner (CC BY 2.0) Sangamon County Circuit Court Judge John Belz has issued a temporary restraining order that prevents Illinois' pension reform law from being implemented until questions about the law's constitutionality and a suit challenging it can be resolved. The law was scheduled to take effect June 1. Five lawsuits by groups representing state workers and retirees challenging the law have been consolidated in Sangamon County court. It's a temporary victory for government employees who say the law is unconstitutional. Pension Committee Update By Amanda Vinicky • Sep 27, 2013 Brian Mackey / IPR A special committee has been negotiating over how to solve the pension problem for more than 12 weeks. State Rep. Elaine Nekritz, D-Northbrook, is careful these days when she talks about the status of pension deliberations, and especially when asked how close legislators are to reaching a deal. "I have actually stopped making predictions publicly, because I have been so wrong, that I'm a little bit embarrassed at this point," she says. Pension Savings Estimate Off By $25 Billion By WNIJ • Aug 27, 2013 Illinois Public Radio The estimated savings on a state pension proposal backed by Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan is billions of dollars less than originally thought. The Teachers Retirement System made a mistake in its calculations. The revision was outlined in a letter to the bipartisan panel working on solving Illinois' pension shortfall. Pritchard: Salary Lawsuit Is Needed By Jenna Dooley • Aug 5, 2013 ilga.gov Illinois lawmakers and Governor Pat Quinn remain at a standstill over a pension overhaul plan. Legislative leaders sued the Governor last week after he blocked lawmaker paychecks because of inaction on the state's growing pension obligations. Legislative Leaders Sue Quinn By WNIJ • Jul 31, 2013 state of Illinois The leaders of the Illinois General Assembly have sued Governor Pat Quinn over his veto of lawmakers' salaries. Quinn vetoed lawmakers salaries out of the budget as a sort-of punishment for not passing legislation to overhaul Illinois' government-employee pension systems. In a joint lawsuit filed in Cook County, House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton say the governor overstepped his bounds. Rikeesha Phelon is a spokeswoman for the Senate president: Brady: Pension Panel Close To Compromise By WNIJ • Jul 30, 2013 Illinois Public Radio/WUIS A member of the Illinois General Assembly's special pension committee says the group is waiting for what he hopes will be the final round of budget analysis. The pension conference committee is trying to find a way to reduce Illinois roughly $100 billion in unfunded future pension liabilities. The group comprises 10 senators and representatives, both Democrats and Republicans. State Sen. Bill Brady is a Republican from Bloomington. He says there has been a lot of compromise. Credit Union Offers Loan To Lawmakers By WNIJ • Jul 29, 2013 state of Illinois Illinois lawmakers will not be getting their monthly paycheck, starting next week. At least one financial institution is offering to help tide them over until the General Assembly's dispute with the Governor is resolved. Lawmakers' base salary of $68,000 has been set to zero - Gov. Pat Quinn vetoed their pay out of the budget as a sort of punishment for the General Assembly not passing a pension overhaul. Topinka: No Checks For Lawmakers By WNIJ • Jul 26, 2013 Illinois lawmakers will not get their paychecks for the month of August. Governor Pat Quinn took the unusual step earlier this month of cutting lawmakers' pay from the state budget. He says they won't get paid until they pass a pension overhaul.

Here is a quick overview of our corporate art consulting process and projects. We gave Blurb a try and created both a hard cover and online book.
Recently, I was asked by Dawn Carlton at Hennebery Eddy Architects to take 10 original works from Oregon State's famous Art About Agriculture collection, and reproduce them as museum quality works on canvas that could be hung in the newly remodeled Strand Hall. The trick was, the originals were small – really small, and Dawn had designed the reproductions to be huge – really huge.
For example, one work of art by Paul Gentry was 5″x8″ and we reproduced to a whopping 60″x120″. Yep. That is a big, scary jump – especially with a wood-block original.
To get perfect results, which means no pixilation, great depth and color, and the "real thing" look, I am sharing some tips with you, learned through 8 years of hard knocks in the art biz:
Find the right printer: Going big to me, is printing over the 60″ in height. That means you need to find a fine art printer who has a press that can do 100″ canvas yet be sensitive to art – the calibration of color, the depth and feel of brush strokes. There are commercial printers in Portland who do super large format printing but they are geared towards clients like Adidas and Nike. When they hear the word "art," they triple the price, and unfortunately, do not triple the quality. They use inferior canvas and sometimes inks. Fine art printers vary widely in the cost per square inch. So shop and compare. Be sure to have the printer give you a sample.
Begin with great canvas & ink: There are many weights, finishes, and qualities to canvas. It is almost like shopping for sheets – and we all know what a nightmare that is. You want a heavy weight canvas with a gloss finish and a bright white color. You need to be sure that when the canvas is stretched over stretcher bars and that it will not crack at the corners. The inks need to be UV protected and I prefer printers who have 16-jets so that the subtleties of the artwork colors can be picked up.
Image capture is everything: A museum quality reproduction needs to print at a minimum of 150 DPI and be adjusted to match the original color and feel. Now that sounds fairly easy, until you realize it has to be 150 DPI at the full size it is going to print at! That can be a digital file that is up to 5 gigs in size. So the original must be photographed in small segments then stitched together. And after that, the color and feel of the digital file needs to be adjusted to match the original. Finally, the format and color profile needs to match to printers. This takes an expert. Taking an average art photo capture, then trying to "res it up" in PhotoShop or Genuine Fractals will not heed the quality results we demand here at Studio Art Direct. Start with the right image capture. It will make all the difference.
Stretcher bars and framing must be high quality: We are stretching and framing snobs here at Studio Art Direct because permanent art collections need to withstand a beating. You never want to use frames from Larson Juhl or other China-made molding companies that are not solid wood – when they scratch they are unfixable and the scratch is obvious. You can sand out and restain a wood frame for years and years. But balancing high quality solid wood framing with budgets is challenging. We have a local guy who creates custom solid wood reveal frames right here in Portland. They are simple, sturdy and affordable. So go solid wood, always. And be sure that the stretcher bars are made with cross bars and cross corners. The fabrication of the stretcher bars are equally important to prevent sagging and warping.
Manage the artists and their expectations: We work with about 120 regional artists creating reproductions. It can be a delicate matter for artists to allow their works to go into reproduction. It requires negotiations, a contract, and, in most cases, a royalty or licensing payment to the artists. (In the state of Oregon, art laws regulate that absolutely no work of art can be reproduced without the permission of the artist. Even if you own the original, the artists carries the copyright to the original for their entire lives. Use it without permission and you will sued.) Once the contract has been agreed upon, it is important to share with the artists, that a reproduction is produced with an entirely different medium than what the artwork was originally created in. And therefore, the finished product will have it's own unique character. However, it is very important to respect the artists original intent – matching color, content, style, stroke and other details of the work. If you do not, you lose the soul of the art, and the trust of the artist.
Good luck going big!
We are really excited to announce the addition of 100 new works of art to our online Print On Demand Collection. These stunning artworks range from photography and paintings to drawings and digital art.
Studio Art Direct's stable of talented regional artists is now a whopping 41 professional creatives and features 246 works of art. You can search by artist or subject. And all works are available in any size, on any surface.
We reviewed 846 submissions and actively curated through out the region for about 4 months. Twelve artists were awarded the opportunity to join our publishing division including Barry Van Gerhig, Brooke
Borcherding, Candace Primack, Cathie Joy Young, Janet Rothermel, Jivi Nancheva, Lucia Johnson, Nance and Stephen Sasser, Patricia Clayton, Rick Keating, and Sandy Haight.

For Northwest Artists only. We are curating new artworks for 2015/16 catalog. Artworks selected will be licensed. Submit your artwork for consideration today. Due Feb. 20, 2015
Here is what we are looking for:
1. Spring color palettes. No red. Below is an example of the palette and artworks from our 2012 collection that incorporated these colors in creative ways.
2. Groupings of 3-5 images in same size ratio that can be installed as a set (series). We need to fill very large walls, so we often install a grouping of artworks down corridors or in large public areas.
3. Works of art that can be reproduced large. That means that the scan or photo must be taken of a fairly large original. It does depend on the medium however. We often reproduce images on materials such as wallpaper and plexiglas as large as 144″ high or more!
4. Any 2-D medium even pastels are beautiful when reproduced on different surfaces like canvas or plex. So mediums like digital arts, photography, pastels, oils, acrylic, monoprints, multi media, collage, and whatever else you can dream up are perfect for reproductions.
5. Artwork inspired by nature. Humans are hardwired to find nature calming and healing, it maybe a link to our prehistoric days, but whatever the reason, images of nature whether they be abstracted landscapes, photos, impressionistic paintings, or detailed doodles of water, trees, mountains, animals, vistas, views, and anything having to do with nature has been proven to help people heal by lowering blood pressure and reducing heart rates. To see examples, go to www.studioartdirect.com art search. And learn more about Evidenced Based Design (the link between art and healing).
6. Abstracted landscapes are very popular with our clients. And I really need to add more artworks that are like this. To get an idea of some nice abstracts and compositions that I really am looking for, go to my Pinterest page and click on board ART WANTED.
7. Lyrical abstracts with uplifting colors and soft curving lines are popular. Almost non objective, these types of abstracts have something in them the viewer can identify with – a hint or suggestion of an object. Go to my Pinterest page and click on board ART WANTED for examples.
8. Art with words. I am curating art for a hotel themed "sleeping with words." This is also a big trend in art right now. So artworks that incorporate words, sentences, paragraphs, book collage, etc. are in demand. Think Cy Twombly with a little less abstraction.
9. Botanical photography. We are specifically searching for monochromatic and desaturarted neutral palettes of live flora botanicals including micro shots. Images must: Bleed to edges; have the ability to print to at least 144″ high at 150 dpi; have an abundance of negative space with soft background; have clarity of main subject matter which contrasts with background; include simple organic forms and shapes, may be abstract but must reveal details viewer can relate to, and be calm restful and reflective.

MTM reduces medical ride denials, avoids Wisconsin penalties — for now
MTM Inc., Wisconsin's medical transportation provider, appears to have reduced its number of ride denials enough to satisfy the state of Wisconsin and avoid paying penalties — through April.
After MTM took over dispatching of rides from LogistiCare in August 2013, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services noticed a pattern of complaints about MTM denying scheduled rides at the last minute, saying no transportation was available. The company denied 177 rides for lack of transportation in August 2013, according to MTM's performance data for late 2013.
Federal law requires the state to provide rides to services covered by Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus when patients can't drive themselves or otherwise get a ride.
So in February, the state officially cracked down on MTM with a corrective action plan that set gradually lower limits on how many rides could be denied for lack of transportation every month through June, and reduce the number of late rides to take patients to critical care, such as cancer treatment and dialysis. The DHS threatened to seek monetary damages if MTM didn't live up to the standards.
That approach seems to be working.
In April — the most recent data available — MTM denied only 17 rides due to a lack of transportation, according to 2014 statistics from MTM. That's well below the 67 allowed under the agreement with the state. MTM generally provides between 210,000 and 250,000 rides per month in Wisconsin.
The monthly cap on ride denials is based on the total number of rides scheduled for that month. The plan officially addressed Feb. 1 through June 30, but there's a three-month lag time in release of the data so the latest official performance data is for April.
DHS spokeswoman Claire Smith wouldn't comment on whether MTM had been in compliance with the plan since April or what happens now.
She said the department was continuing to monitor MTM's performance and was meeting with the company on a weekly basis to figure out why no vehicle was available in some cases.
Ride denials and late or no-show rides have been a common complaint of patients for months. In September, nearly one in every four — 23.8% — substantiated complaints that BadgerCare members made about MTM involved ride denials because no vehicle was available, according to a Journal Sentinel analysis of MTM data.
MTM was allowed 82 ride denials in February, according to the plan. It denied 81. The number was down to seven denials out of every 100,000 rides — 2% of substantiated complaints involved denials — in April. At the same time, MTM provided more rides overall.
For critical care, the cap was eight in February and five in subsequent months. MTM had one in February and none in March and April.
Smith said that to reduce ride denials, MTM has added four staff members since early 2014, including a senior manager who works on maintaining and improving the company's transportation network. The new staff members analyze the rates at which transportation providers turn back rides and adjust practices accordingly, she said.
Assuming the number of scheduled rides remained the same in May and June as in April, MTM would be allowed 58 denials in May and 32 in June.
The corrective action plan also requires MTM to reduce late rides, particularly to dialysis and cancer treatment.
The monthly data that MTM reports to the state shows late rides for all patients — a number that's been hovering around 200 a month this year — but does not spell out how many of them were to critical care.
The Public Investigator asked Smith how the public or the state can hold MTM accountable for reducing late rides to critical care if that metric isn't included.
"MTM has staff assigned to handle trip issues and escalation procedures for cancer/dialysis trips. As part of the (corrective action plan), the DHS...Contract Monitor regularly reviews that MTM follows these escalation procedures," Smith wrote in an email.
She said MTM also closely monitored complaints that it receives about individual transportation providers to identify trends and address underlying issues. If a transportation provider doesn't make progress in addressing complaints, MTM puts the transportation provider on a formal performance improvement plan. The DHS meets weekly with MTM to review complaint data, monitor complaint trends and address problems with the plans.
Smith said the department will "look into the feasibility" of adding the metric of late rides to critical care to future reports.
The Legislative Audit Bureau is currently undertaking an audit on the transportation program related to complaints by request of the state's Joint Committee on Audit. This includes the process used to receive and resolve complaints, patterns of complaints and actions to address them and a review of DHS' efforts to monitor the complaints.
Auditors have invited the public to contact them with information or comments. The audit report is due some time in the winter of 2014-'15.
MTM's May report is scheduled to be posted on the DHS website in September.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the papermaking arts. More specifically, the present invention relates to forming fabrics for the forming section of a paper machine.
2. Description of the Prior Art
During the papermaking process, a cellulosic fibrous web is formed by depositing a fibrous slurry, that is, an aqueous dispersion of cellulose fibers, onto a moving forming fabric in the forming section of a paper machine. A large amount of water is drained from the slurry through the forming fabric, leaving the cellulosic fibrous web on the surface of the forming fabric.
The newly formed cellulosic fibrous web proceeds from the forming section to a press section, which includes a series of press nips. The cellulosic fibrous web passes through the press nips supported by a press fabric, or, as is often the case, between two such press fabrics. In the press nips, the cellulosic fibrous web is subjected to compressive forces which squeeze water therefrom, and which adhere the cellulosic fibers in the web to one another to turn the cellulosic fibrous web into a paper sheet. The water is accepted by the press fabric or fabrics and, ideally, does not return to the paper sheet.
It should be appreciated that the forming, press and dryer fabrics all take the form of endless loops on the paper machine and function in the manner of conveyors. It should further be appreciated that paper manufacture is a continuous process which proceeds at considerable speeds. That is to say, the fibrous slurry is continuously deposited onto the forming fabric in the forming section, while a newly manufactured paper sheet is continuously wound onto rolls after it exits from the dryer section.
Press fabrics also participate in the finishing of the surface of the paper sheet. That is, press fabrics are designed to have smooth surfaces and uniformly resilient structures, so that, in the course of passing through the press nips, a smooth, mark-free surface is imparted to the paper.
Press fabrics accept the large quantities of water extracted from the wet paper in the press nip. In order to fill this function, there literally must be space, commonly referred to as void volume, within the press fabric for the water to go, and the fabric must have adequate permeability to water for its entire useful life. Finally, press fabrics must be able to prevent the water accepted from the wet paper from returning to and rewetting the paper upon exit from the press nip.
The paper sheet finally proceeds to a dryer section, which includes at least one series of rotatable dryer drums or cylinders, which are internally heated by steam. The newly formed paper sheet is directed in a serpentine path sequentially around each in the series of drums by a dryer fabric, which holds the paper sheet closely against the surfaces of the drums. The heated drums reduce the water content of the paper sheet to a desirable level through evaporation.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that fabrics are created by weaving, and have a weave pattern which repeats in both the warp or machine direction (MD) and the weft or cross-machine direction (CD). Woven fabrics take many different forms. For example, they may be woven endless, or flat woven and subsequently rendered into endless form with a seam. It will also be appreciated that the resulting fabric must be uniform in appearance; that is there are no abrupt changes in the weave pattern to result in undesirable characteristics in the formed paper sheet. Due to the repeating nature of the weave patterns, a common fabric deficiency is a characteristic diagonal pattern in the fabric. In addition, any pattern marking imparted to the formed tissue will impact the characteristics of the paper.
The present invention may relate specifically to the forming fabrics used in the forming section. Forming fabrics play a critical role during the paper manufacturing process. One of its functions, as implied above, is to form and convey the paper product being manufactured to the press section.
However, forming fabrics also need to address water removal and sheet formation issues. That is, forming fabrics are designed to allow water to pass through (i.e. control the rate of drainage) while at the same time prevent fiber and other solids from passing through with the water. If drainage occurs too rapidly or too slowly, the sheet quality and machine efficiency suffers. To control drainage, the space within the forming fabric for the water to drain, commonly referred to as void volume, must be properly designed.
Contemporary forming fabrics are produced in a wide variety of styles designed to meet the requirements of the paper machines on which they are installed for the paper grades being manufactured. Generally, they comprise a base fabric woven from monofilament and may be single-layered or multi-layered. The yarns are typically extruded from any one of several synthetic polymeric resins, such as polyamide and polyester resins, used for this purpose by those of ordinary skill in the paper machine clothing arts.
The properties of absorbency, strength, softness, and aesthetic appearance are important for many products when used for their intended purpose, particularly when the fibrous cellulosic products are facial or toilet tissue, paper towels, sanitary napkins or diapers.
To generate bulk, cross directional tensile, absorbency, and softness in a sheet of paper, a fabric will often be constructed so that the top surface exhibits topographical variations. These topographical variations are often measured as plane differences between strands. For example, a plane difference is typically measured as the difference in height between two adjacent weft (cross direction) strands in the plane of the wear side surface or as the difference in height between MD knuckles and CD knuckles in the forming surface. Bulk, cross directional tensile, absorbency, and softness are particularly important characteristics when producing sheets of tissue, napkin, and towel paper. Hence, tissue forming fabrics preferably exhibit plane differences in the forming side.
The design of forming fabrics additionally involves a compromise between the desired fiber support and fabric stability. A fine mesh fabric may provide the desired paper surface and fiber support properties, but such design may lack the desired stability resulting in a short fabric life. By contrast, coarse mesh fabrics provide stability and long life at the expense of fiber support and the potential for marking. To minimize the design tradeoff and optimize both support and stability, multi-layer fabrics were developed. For example, in double and triple layer fabrics, the forming side is designed for sheet and fiber support while the wear side is designed for stability, void volume, and wear resistance.
Double layer fabrics are commonly used within the paper industry. A typical double layer fabric comprises a set of forming weft yarns (shutes) and a set of wear weft yarns interwoven by a set of warp yarns. Most often, each of the warp yarns weaves the same contour pattern, only shifted by n shutes (weft yarns) from its neighboring warp yarn. After a number of such shifted warp yarns, the contour pattern has shifted a complete cycle and repeats the pattern (i.e. a complete pattern repeat). Typically, double layer fabrics are composed of 7, 8, 14, or 16 warp yarns.
Many double layers fabrics incorporate a "paired warp" concept in which two warps yarns act together (i.e. as a pair) to effectively weave one unbroken contour in the top surface of the fabric. References describing fabrics with paired MD yarns include U.S. Pat. No. 4,605,585 (the "Johansson" patent) directed to a double layer fabric wherein as one warp yarn dips to the wear side layer the other warp yarn in the pair takes its place in the forming layer, U.S. Pat. No. 4,501,303 (the "�sterberg" patent) where the warp yarn pairs are an integral part of the top layer but act as binding yarns on the bottom layer, U.S. Pat. No. 5,152,326 (the "V�hringer" patent) where the paired warp yarns are vertically-stacked and integral to both the top and bottom layers, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,865,219 (the "Lee" patent) in which the warp yarn pairs produce a plain weave pattern in both the top and bottom layers.
Multi-layer fabrics, such as double or triple layer fabrics, may have unacceptable resistance to internal abrasion and/or the weave may loosen (i.e. the yarns may slide from their original positions within the pattern) during use. The present invention provides a fabric which overcomes such disadvantages.
Accordingly, the present invention is a forming fabric, although it may find application in the forming, pressing and drying sections of a paper machine.
The present invention is preferably a forming fabric having a double layer weave construction formed using sets of paired warp yarns. To address the tradeoff between desired fiber support and fabric stability, each warp yarn acts to bind the layers, thereby eliminating the need for additional binder yarns. Moreover, in the MD, each pair produces a four-shed pattern in the forming layer and a plain weave pattern in the wear layer. In the CD, the pairs combine to complete the four-shed pattern in the forming layer and form parallel contour patterns in the wear layer. This construction gives the double layer fabric characteristics of a triple layer fabric.
In a preferred embodiment, the fabric has first and second layers of CD yarns interwoven with sets of MD yarns. Each set has four pairs of MD yarns with each pair comprising a first MD yarn and a second MD yarn. The first and second MD yarns each cross between and weave with both the first and second layers of CD yarns. The first MD yarn binds a single CD yarn in the second layer. In the MD, each pair effectively produces a four-shed contour in the first layer and a two-shed contour in the second layer. Each pair is shifted in the CD, such that 4 pairs of MD yarns combine to effectively produce a four-shed contour in the CD in the first layer. In the second layer, two pairs of MD yarns combine to effectively produce parallel two-shed contours in the MD in the second layer.
The fabric is preferably a double layer forming fabric wherein the first layer is a forming side of the fabric and the second layer is a wear side of the fabric with the first and second layers being bound together by the sets of MD yarns. Each pair is preferably shifted from the next pair by 9 CD yarns in the first layer. The fabric may be suitable for producing tissue, napkin, and towel paper.
Other aspects of the present invention include that the CD yarns in the second layer may be a different diameter than in the first layer. At least some of the MD yarns and CD yarns may be monofilament yarns and may be one of polyamide yarns or polyester yarns. The fabric may be woven on a 16 harness loom. At least some of the MD yarns and CD yarns have one of a circular cross-sectional shape, a rectangular cross-sectional shape and a non-round cross-sectional shape.
The present invention will now be described in more complete detail with frequent reference being made to the drawing figures, which are identified below.
For a more complete understanding of the invention, reference is made to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which:
The present invention is preferably a double layer forming fabric woven with first and second layers of cross-machine direction (CD) weft yarns interwoven with sets of paired machine-direction (MD) warp yarns. However, unlike prior art paired warp fabrics where each pair forms a complete pattern, the present invention combines plural pairs into a set to complete the forming and wear layer patterns. For example, the warp yarns of a single pair may combine to weave a four-shed pattern in the MD in the forming layer of a fabric. But, this pair by itself does not necessarily produce a four-shed pattern in the CD. In the present invention, four staggered pairs of warp yarns could be viewed as a set to effectively produce the four-shed pattern in the CD. In this manner, a set of paired warp yarns can be used to form a complete four-shed pattern in both the MD and CD.
Advantages of the present invention include a double layer constructed fabric which has the appearance and characteristics similar to a triple layer fabric. The present invention eliminates the need for smaller diameter binder yarns in either the MD or CD which can prematurely wear out and allow separation of the fabric layers. In addition, CD binder shutes do not need to be inserted into the fabric, thereby eliminating 20–25% of the total picks required. Since all of the warp yarns also act as binder yarns, a third warp beam for MD binder yarns is not needed. The present fabrics can be woven on any double beam loom capable of running standard double layer, eight or sixteen shed designs, equipped with sixteen harness frames properly threaded in and reeded either two or four ends per dent. The present fabric's double layer construction also exhibits improved seam strength over present triple-layer designs.
A preferred embodiment of the invention in which the fabric produces a four-shed pattern in the forming layer and a plain weave pattern in the wear layer is shown in
The fabric according to the present invention preferably comprises only monofilament yarns, preferably of polyester, nylon, polyamide, or other polymers. Any combination of polymers for any of the yarns can be used as identified by one of ordinary skill in the art. The CD and MD yarns may have a circular cross-sectional shape with one or more different diameters. For example, the forming layer weft yarns may be a different diameter than the wear layer weft yarns. Typical forming layer weft yarn diameters are between 0.11 and 0.15 mm with wear layer weft yarn diameters between 0.17 and 0.30 mm. Warp yarn diameters typically range between 0.10 and 0.15 mm. However, any combination of diameters can used and these exemplary diameters should not be construed as limiting the invention in any way. Further, in addition to a circular cross-sectional shape, one or more of the yarns may have other cross-sectional shapes such as a rectangular cross-sectional shape or a non-round cross-sectional shape.
Modifications to the above would be obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art, but would not bring the invention so modified beyond the scope of the present invention. The claims to follow should be construed to cover such situations.

Skip to comments.Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?
Posted on 11/05/2008 4:34:48 PM PST by TitansAFC
Today, Red State ran an article on the origination of nasty lies from within the McCain/Palin camp. They report, Romney staffers now working on the McPalin campaign have been spreading the stories of Palins ineptitude to the press. Red State and other reporters accuse Romney staffers, including Kevin Madden (former Romney press-man) of pushing reporters into Troopergate stories and other possible negative Palin story angles. Palin provides a threat to Romney for a presidential run, but now is not the time for in-party fighting.
American Girl has been very critical of long-time Romney supporter Kathleen Parker (see here and here), a Republican, from the National Review for her consistent ridicule of Palin instead of criticising the Democrat ticket. Parker has proven to be a putrid, vile opportunist in this election. Parker has only proven to me that she would stab my dog if it helped her personal interests.
Mitt Romney has an obligation to his party and beliefs to publicly hog-tie Madden, Parker, and his surrogates (I have a list). If Romney fails to reign them in and rehires them for another WH bid, he can count on American Girl fighting hard against his nomination.
This is no threat, but a promise. I will take my money, my volunteers, my time, this blog, and more - and back another candidate. Guaranteed.
When I was in St. Paul for the Republican Convention, more than a dozen people told me acolytes of Mitt Romney were feeding all the stories to the media portraying Palin in a negative light.
In fact, I heard that one of the biggest pushers of anti-Palin stories, including encouraging reporters to pursue the "Trooper-gate" story was Romney spokesman Kevin Madden.
I did not blog on it at the time because I perceived it to be people trying to finish off Romney. It likewise seemed clear to me that if this was going on, it was people loyal to Romney who were still hoping for his come back and not Romney himself.
These days it is hard to miss Kathleen Parker's savage attacks on Sarah Palin. She, along with several others listed here attacking Sarah Palin were also some of the first pundits in bed with the Romney campaign in 2007/8.
Again, it is hard for me to place the finger on Romney. It seems to me that these are people who are still convinced he's the better nominee and don't want Palin to be in any position to challenge him in 2012.
At this moment, however, it is absolutely clear -- there is an effort, organized or not, by supporters of Mitt Romney to harm the reputation of Governor Sarah Palin.
The American Spectator documented it yesterday.
Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers, some of whom are currently working for Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin's bid for the White House, have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election. "Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012," says one former Romney aide, now working for McCain-Palin. "The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney. He's in charge on November 5th."
Though I initially dismissed the Kevin Madden rumors, Amanda Carpenter has Kevin in his own words going after Sarah Palin.
And it is not just Madden. It may be hard for you to believe, but there are Romney supporters now working on John McCain's campaign who are, in fact, indisputably out to damage Sarah Palin's reputation. I am not just convinced of it. I know it to be fact. That there are "conservative pundits" echoing the same talking points makes me deeply suspicious.
I agree with Matt Lewis. I doubt Mitt Romney is responsible or encouraging it. In fact, I suspect he'd be extremely disappointed to find this out. Nonetheless, whether organic or organized, it is happening and it deeply worries me that these people now undermining Sarah Palin view Romney as the logical choice to lead the RNC or be the front runner in 2012. You don't get to sabotage your own side and then have your guy be the front runner.
We must remember this. Contrary to the quote in the American Spectator, if November 5th ushers in President-elect Obama, I stand with Sarah.
You guys are going to have to get a new hobby.
Romney's net worth is about 1/2 of what it was in January of this year. That costs not just him. It costs his kids and grandkids, too. The market has savaged him.
He's not running again. For anything. Nothing in government could possibly pay him enough to have a shot at recovering his portfolio. He likely would have turned down any job McCain offered.
I think the folks on FR need to wake up and look at the world around them. It's A Different World Than It Was Even As Recently As 1 September 2008. The markets are devastated. The net worth of the US of A is devastated.
And . . . what happened from mid Sept to late October is essentially the only reason McCain is not president elect. Not policy. Not campaigning style. Not Palin. Not Romney.
Money. The 3% of people who had to change their minds to beat Obama voted to punish the GOP brand for what happened in October. Just the same way they will punish Obama in 2012 for $250/barrel oil.
It doesn't matter what abortion position there is. Or guns. Or gay marriage. Or missile defense in Poland. Or a middle name of Hussein.
People lost their life savings in October, and 3% made their choice.
Now relax, forget the hated Romney, the hated McCain and the hated anything else. Nothing matters for the next 4 years but the price of oil and the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Any talk of policy is utterly silly because for both sides . . . there's no money to fund anything.
He reminds me of a slick car salesman.
Especially with that just too-perfect hair and those ever-s-white capped teeth.
Geeze I wanted either Fred or Hunter but the MSM and the RINO cabals have spoken and we got McCain.
The silver lining? Sarah Palin and what a breath of fresh air she turned out to be. She gave McCain half a chance and a heck of a lot more votes than he would have gotten with Romney or some other RINO for veep.
-—"This may be disinformation to further fragment the Republican Party.....
You could say that about this vanity as well."-—
Right.....even with the actual quotes from Romney-ites, right?
The person/faction that manages to wrangle controller-ship of the party has a leg up on the 2012 nomination.
If that struggle takes too long, it could ruin GOP hopes for both 2010 and 2012.
For an upbeat conservative 100% patriotic ticket, I would choose Palin/Huckabee.
(If we still have free elections in 2012. It's possible that the ticket then could be Obama/Ayers vs. Obama/Ayers.)
Looks like Romney's people have finished off Romney. If he can't control his staff, how can he hope to be President?
This is disheartening.
Sarah Palin is a true conservative and one of the only reasons that McCain didn't lose by a larger margin. I wouldn't have voted for McCain had Palin not come on board.
Whether or not Romney or any of his team members are behind these lies, Romney is not a TRUE CONSERVATIVE.
Romney is washed up and toast. I will not support him for a run in 2012. We need someone more like Duncan Hunter. Someone who stands up for conservative values no matter what!
Besides, I am renouncing my Republican Party affiliation today. So...honestly I don't care who the next GOP nominee is, the GOP can KISS MY ASS GOODBYE!
GMAFB... Romney would have lost in a Mondale-like landslide. In retrospect, McCain is the ONLY GOP candidate that could have made this a race considering all that he was up against. Palin was excellent and energized the base in a way that @ss Romney never could have. I am so sick of RINO Romney sycophants desecrating this forum.
You may also want to consider Nina Easton of Fox Panel. Her husband was a muckity-muck in the Romney campaign. Another one who couldn't wait to sink her claws into Governor Palin.
"Today, Red State ran an article on the origination of nasty lies from within the McCain/Palin camp...Romney staffers now working on the McPalin campaign...including Kevin Madden...pushing reporters into Troopergate...Palin provides a threat to Romney for a presidential run...critical of long-time Romney supporter Kathleen Parker, a Republican, from the National Review for her consistent ridicule of Palin instead of criticising the Democrat ticket. Parker has proven to be a putrid, vile opportunist in this election. Parker has only proven to me that she would stab my dog if it helped her personal interests...This is no threat, but a promise. I will take my money, my volunteers, my time, this blog, and more - and back another candidate. Guaranteed."
A famous commentator is also way off Romney for '12. Sharing a vile hatred of Ed Rollins is not enough to make enemies of enemies puerile friends...
But back to Madden & Murphy -- nobody deserved it more than Romney:
Adviser says governor "faked" stance on abortion
"Governor Mitt Romney's top political strategist [Mike Murphy] has told a prominent conservative magazine that his client has been ''faking" his support of abortion rights in Massachusetts."
Oh, here we go again. Blaming Romney's Mormons is starting to become like blaming the Jews for everything.
He would have lost too, and if he ever runs he will lose.
Rich,white men are all become LIBERALS! Bush included.
Romney is a total turkey who I mistrust;birds of a feather flock together.
His staff is garbage and so is Romney for not stopping this.
"the infighting has begun and its not bringing us any closer to unifying this party. The his fault her fault crud is only giving the Dems strength."
Not necessarily. This has to be done. The party has to get rid of those who are RINO. They have showed that they are dem lite. That is not what the Republican party needs. When we had true Conservatives at the helm, what happened? We won...1980, 1984, 1988 (carryover from Reagan), 1994 with the Contract for America. What has happened since? The Republicans became the party of amnesty and big government. We got our clocks cleaned in 2006 and last night with those people in power.
We need to get back to our true roots. Only way to do that is expose and run out the RINOs. You can't make an omlette without breaking a few eggs. Then our party can unify behind the true ideals of Conservatism.
Mega Dittos!
Don't be so quick to believe something you read.
There is no real source to these rumors. It could also be that the same person that wants to throw Gov Palin under the bus, is the same person(s) that want to also throw Romney under the bus!
We might as well get it out of our systems now. Now is the time for 'infighting'! The future of conservatism is at stake! None of us wanted McCain to begin with...not many more wanted Romney.
It is time for new blood in the party. Sarah fits the bill. The only thing that concerns me in the least about her is what appears to be a populist streak. Other than that..she has my attention big time. Bobby Jindal does too.
Accusing people who are anti-Romney of being anti-Mormon is what has gotten old. Newsflash-— I hate McCain too.
In general I despise people in the party who promote liberalism, condone it, or pose as something they are not. Romney poses as a conservative, and does a bad job at it, then sics his supporters on the real articles while keeping his hands clean on the surface.
I think they sabotaged Mac's entire campaign. Now, I wonder why they would want to do that.
It says a lot about how weak a candidate Mitt is that for all of his advantages (money, pedigree, looks, organization, smart, communications skills, etc) he still failed to connect with primary voters.
Many of his supporters blame religious bigotry for Romney's demise. The real reason is authenticity bigotry. Republican voters don't like phonies.
"Sarah Palin is being treated unjustly and maliciously by these so-called religious people. I used to respect Mormons."
You believe that?
Romney's a fraud and a liar.
It amazes me how FReepers run wild with disinformation as though it were fact.
I would think a Romney/Palin ticket would have beaten The One but alas, we had our candidate selected by dimocrats and MSM.
If you want to vent against someone, do everything you can to further discredit and bring down this 5th column that calls itself the free press.
Hey team Romney
He hasn't got a snowball's chance in hell of ever getting elected nationally. Deal with that.
Anyone notice that female Nina ___ from Fortune magazine on the show with Brit Hume. What's her background. Is she a Mitt-bot?
Besides all of Romney's other obvious flaws, after the Stock Market scandal does ANYONE remotely believe he could elected?
No way. He would have been MONDALED if he had been the nominee.
McCain should come out and denounce this crap, but I bet he doesn't.
So sorry to disagree with you, but Huckabee helped to get us McCain in the first place! I am never going to forgive him for that one. He is nothing more than a populist syncophant. Let him have his little show on Fox, play his guitar. That's where he belongs right now.
Over the next few years the conservative movement needs to rebuild. Palin or Romney? Who will draw people to fundraisers, conventions, etc?
It is true! I know personally some of the backstabbing of the other candidates by Romney's people. I don't think for a minute that he did not know what was happening.
The Romney/Bush people from Jeb and GW have been leaking against Palin from Day One. There was a meeting in June with Bush/Cheney/Romney to try and put pressure on McCain to pick Romney as VP. I was told by a reliable source that never was going to happen. For months the Romney surrogates pushed for him to be the VP candidate and you can bet money he would have undermined McCain.
Remember that Romney was in the meeting of economic people that suggested McCain suspend his campaign and fly back to DC and ask the President to have a meeting which McCain and Boehner were backstabbed by Paulson/Bush when they let Obama run the meeting and Paulson made sure Obama had the House GOP plan which he proceeded to tear apart.
Connect the dots!
Yeah, I'm sure conservatives would have turned out in droveeds for the socialist Romney, especially after they started running all the videos of his advocating abortion, homosexual rights, gun control etc.
If you believe Romney is a conservative, you probably believe that Obama had no idea Rev Wright was a racist.
This is second hand or third hand information. Kind of like someone saying to you "you should have heard what they were saying about you" because they want to start an argument. The person who wrote this should have kept it to themselves, they are being played in my opinion.
I never liked Romney, and not just because of "Romney Care" in Massachusetts.
I believe she is.
You've got to be joking. Palin was one of the ONLY things McCain got right in this campaign. Name ONE VP pick who could have raked in the votes like Palin did. It wasn't enough to win, sure, but she generated enthusiasm that we haven't seen since Reagan. No one was going to get fired up about the Maverick/Helmet ticket, face it.
Palin will be back. McCain is history. Romney has crapped his pants with this backstabbing nonsense.
Agree with all you say Owen except what happened in the primary sealed our doom. We just had the wrong guy forced on us.
The real question is, will we figure it out?
Nina's husband was part of Romney's national campaign.
I do believe his staffers were/are doing this however, I seriously doubt he is behind it.
One of the big reasons Romney didn't make it was because of the MSM. They took him out early. The MSM then promoted 0 to such a degree that now he IS POTUS.
Do I really have to say it? Don't believe everything you read.
This election wasn't about who won the debates or who had the experience. The press saw to that. Honest reporting would have given both to McCain hands down.
It was about who had the curb appeal, who was a novelty, who could make the world love America again, and who was perceived as more like the middle clas than an elitist new englander like George Bush.
Romney loses on all counts. Plus many Americans think of Mormonism as a cult. Unfortunate but true. 20,000 people at a time in middle America wouldn't have turned out to see and hear Romney give a speech.
Romney will never win a national election. Never.
Even if Romney is behind these attacks on Palin, its nice to have a Republican who will not pull punches and can fight (no matter how "swarmy") unlike Bush I, Bush II, Dole and McCain.
If Mitt ever runs, I will stay home.
Noob ... are you sure you know who you are responding to?
Go back and read #61 again ... the easily grasped point of citing Murphy's Globe gotcha is that Romney ... has proven incapable of hiring nothing more than double-crossing Hessian mercenaries to run his national political aspirations ... something we can do without in the next conservative candidate ...
I still do. But not the Romney campaign or Mitt himself. (Methinks George would be ashamed.)

Reviews collected from customers who booked on AccorHotels.com
Great property but its obvious the management of this property is very poor. Lights that did not work, remotes that did not work and some even didn't even have batteries in them. The property urgently needs painting with damaged paint work everywhere in the unit we had. Its location is great but the enjoyment of the stay was let down by a lack of attention to detail and maintenance.
Stayed in unit 13. This room is great for family. However, soft furnishing need to be updated. Curtains are stained and falling off the hook, carpet in one of the room need attention., stained lounge chair, the outdoor furniture.... tried to fixed it by using a masking tape the same goes with the bathroom mirror in the en suite. The air conditioner filters need a desperate cleaning. The kitchen is equip well for longer stay. This is the only accor property that I have stayed without any bathroom amenities (may have just been overlooked). Overall, the friendly staff and stunning view made this property one of the nice accor I have stayed.
Our apartment was the perfect home base for our trip to Airlie. The room was very spacious and comfortable and the view! Wow! The balcony was the perfect spot to lounge around on the deck chairs whilst indulging in the uninterrupted, seemingly endless views! The bathroom has byfolding shutters so that the view can be enjoyed from the bath as well! A definite highlight for us. Really enjoyed our stay at the grand Mercure, we will most definitely be back!

This review is from: Adesso iMouseG3 3 RGB illuminated USB gaming mouse with DPI / LRD color switchable, back / force buttom, enhance optical sensor
Pros: Great LOOKING mouse.
-Can sometimes save previous DPI/color setting. I suggest if you do buy this mouse, that you set the color you want using the DPI button and then manually set the DPI settings in windows and in your games accordingly.
Cons: Bad PERFORMING mouse.
-M1 Button box inside the mouse died after ONE DAY of use. Luckily I have soldering experience and took one from an old laser mouse and soldered it in this ADESSO mouse which fixed THAT problem.
-Sometimes I'll be playing a game and suddenly the mouse will decide to shoot my aim to the top, bottom, or even stay in the regular vertical position of the screen but start spinning really fast 360's. Other times the mouse aim or even pointer in windows desktop will just float to another part of the screen randomly which makes me lose control of the pointer for a few seconds. USB driver changes or updates do not solve this problem.
-Shipping from UPS was horrible. I paid an extra $6 and change for faster shipping and it took twice as long as estimated by UPS and also UPS decided to hold it at their facility near me for 3 days for no reason. I miss the good old days when Fedex was the shipping of choice through newegg.
-Inside the packaging when I got the mouse somehow there was dirt INSIDE the sealed packaging around the DPI button area. Because of this I had to clean the mouse with a dry cloth after taking it out of the packaging. Must have gotten like that during it's packaging at the factory.
-The braided fabric on the mouse cord is not ideal and frays easily. It was even FRAYED right out of the packaging and cord was KINKED as well right where it's connected to the mouse. This is probably due to the poor design of the way it's packaged with the clear plastic sealed packaging/casing.
-Takes a lot to get used to when using it. It's overly heavy in the back side so I took a weight out while I was fixing the button box. The M1&M2 buttons are way too easily clicked even if you very lightly only lay a finger on them which can cause accidental clicks in very many instances. It's a very large size mouse which also takes getting used to. I was actually surprised by it's large size when I got it, larger than any mouse I have seen in person, and I'm a Computer Technician.
Other Thoughts: -There are other computer mice that look EXACTLY like this on Amaazon which leads me to believe that one company made the design and then sold it to many other off-brand/no-name brand company's like ADESSO. Just go to Amaazon and search "computer mice" and you will see for yourself within the first 2 results pages.
-I should have purchased a different mouse from a better/well-known brand like Corsair, Gigabyte, Logitech etc.
-Sad to say but I don't think I'll buy anything ADESSO after this. Hardly anything about this mouse was done well/correctly.
This review is from: Crucial M500 CT480M500SSD1 7mm (with 9.5mm adapter) 2.5" 480GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Pros: I bench-marked this SSD with "ATTO" and it can even preform a little faster than it is said to in the specifications. Read benched at a max of 520MB/s and a max write speed of about 440MB/s. HDTune does not bench this drive well/accurately so I had used ATTO instead.
Boots Windows 7 for me in under 17 seconds and half of that time is readouts etc. from my mainboard.
Purchased on Cyber Monday for $189. If it lasts a few years and always works this fast it will be very well worth the money spent.
Cons: None that I have seen.
Other Thoughts: Would be nice if it came with a converter from 2.5" to 3.5" so it could be installed into a desktop PC without needing to buy an adapter separately.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: TOSHIBA PA3468U-1ACA 75-Watt Global AC Adapter
Pros: I've had this Toshiba power adapter for over a month now and it works great, just as intended. Being a Certified Computer Technician I knew I needed to match the amperage and voltage to that of my Toshiba laptop and knew this would be the exact match and work perfectly, and it has. I bought this when it was at $25 with free shipping and once again I am a satisfied Newegg and Toshiba customer.
Cons: NONE
Other Thoughts: Not sure why this was discontinued, it works great. I would no doubt purchase this again in the future if I ever need one.READ FULL REVIEW
