People who do not have the wherewithal to rent a flat with two or three rooms need to settle for a single room flat commonly called a studio apartment. Many people are of the opinion that it is not possible to decorate or arrange things in a studio apartment since it is one long room.
People complain that there is no personal space if you combine the living room and bedroom. It is not difficult to decorate a studio apartment; it requires a certain amount of creativity and intention for doing up your home.
Be creative and this will bring good results. You must seek ideas/suggestions from friends for this decoration and you are sure to transform your apartment into a cozy home.
Tips For Decorating Studio Apartments
• Draw the three dimensional view of your apartment to scale in order to get a correct idea of space available in the apartment.
• Estimate the area required for bedroom and living room. Identify the areas where you will position your bed, chairs, sofa, closet, etc. This is essential to decorate the rooms in an orderly manner.
• Separate the bedroom from the living room by putting up a wooden screen or curtain. You can purchase wooden screens in the market. Use standard rod curtains with heavy material and dark color. There must be contrast between the curtain color and wall color.
• Get rid of the furniture that could clutter the space; provide one coffee table that can also store newspapers, magazines etc.
• Provide a sofa-cum-bed that can not only seat your visitors but also can be used as a bed/couch for your guests. Give them a homey look by adding some cushions.

• Personal items such as photo-frames, teddy bears, small cups etc. can be stored in a room corner by providing a small long shelf; arrange these knick-knacks in an orderly manner.
• You must consult a lighting professional for redoing the lighting of your apartment. You can make the room appear bigger by changing the lighting. Provide a chandelier for the living room and for the bedroom, use fluorescent bulbs. Keep candles in the room corners.
• Items for entertainment, such as a TV and a music system, have to be kept on a special trolley which has castors to move them around between bedroom and living room.
• Leave a pathway between the two rooms to facilitate moving from one to the other.

The Wall of Life and Death Summary and Analysis
On August 5, 1952, Austrian climbers Erich Vanis, Hans Ratay, and Karl Lugmayer arrived at the North Face. The next day, they climbed to the Ramp and bivouacked in the rain, which turned to snow in the night. They proceeded in the snow, but on the Ice Bulge, they met an avalanche. Then, they made a bad choice and had to retrace their steps and bivouac. Despite Lugmayer being hit with a stone, they made the summit the next day, bivouacking on their way down.
Karl Blach returned to the North Face and offered to guide Jürgen Wallenkamp and Bernd Huber as far as the Difficult Crack. However, when they started, Huber was feeling unwell. Blach took his place, and by 1 p.m., Blach and Wallenkamp were at the Ramp. They stopped...

The same rules apply for keys as they did with Vista. The key works with either platform, as long as you use the same version. The key for Pro x86 will also work for Pro x64...but only one at a time.
On a side note, unless you have a very specific piece of software or an unique, older hardware device without x64 support, there's little to no reason to avoid x64. There's a reason why most new PCs ship with it. Don't cling to the past for the "comfort" factor. Do so only if you have a unique or specific reason for doing so.

I need a set up to capture up to 6 channels.
One event should take at most 0.3s.
I would like to be able to record 31 events if possible. (possibly trigered by channel going high)
The area of interest is ~5 ms but I would like to have an option to record 31 "whole events".
"Whole events" are between 60ms to 240ms.
When using the a cursor I want to be able to measure 1us.
My sensors should be 0-5V or 0-10V and I would like to be able to measure 1mV change.
8 bit may be good enough but I think I want 12 bit?
Can I pig tail several scopes together to see let say 6 traces on the same graph using three 2 channel scopes (1 PC and multiple scopes to expand number of channels)?
The events should be almost identical but I'd like to use it to see minute to drastic changes between events/shots
I may want to run a program that would have up to 6 different events focused on <6 ms window. Trigger would go high at the beginning of each event and 31 shots would be recorded.
Does your software have trace overlay ability? (ability to import multiple recorded events from file and comparing on one display)
I think that my min req's are:
Bandwidth - 1.75 MHz min
Sample rate - 1.75 MHz min
Memory depth - ?
Resolution & Accuracy - 12 bit?

Jerry Bruckheimer's world headquarters for the near-total domination of network television is a warehouse on a dead-end street. The giveaway: The valet parking lot looks like a Porsche-Audi-Benz dealership. Inside, it's exposed beams and youthful assistants in $200 dungarees, and the coffee table in the reception zone displays books on suicidal abstract expressionists. Bruckheimer's own office is power leather meets Zen monastery, laboratory clean but calming, filled with a rich ambient light. In fact, the personal set for the most successful producer in TV resembles the moody palette of his hit "CSI" shows, and one half-expects a crime scene investigator with tweezers to enter and start talking about hair pulp and stage-3 insect pupae.
The entertainment press is running out of monikers for Bruckheimer. For a long time, he was called Mr. Blockbuster, responsible for big movies with big stars, big budgets, big explosions: "Beverly Hills Cop," "Top Gun," "Bad Boys," "Con Air," "Armageddon," "Pearl Harbor." And then, five years ago, the son of a Detroit clothes salesman did something unusual for a wildly successful feature film producer: He turned his eye to television. Now they call him "Jerry Bruckheimer, the megaproducer," and, the most honorific of all: "the man with the golden gut."
This season, Bruckheimer had 10 shows picked up for prime-time network television, unseating yesteryear's Aaron Spelling. This is a record for an executive producer. It is 91/2 hours of TV. That is almost half of the 22 hours of prime time that a major network provides each week. Seven of the shows are on CBS, where Bruckheimer's output is largely responsible for that network's turnaround from last to first place. When he says his prayers at night, CBS President Leslie Moonves must say a special one for the golden gut.
Bruckheimer produces the original "CSI," its offspring "CSI: NY" and "CSI: Miami," the returning dramas "Cold Case" and "Without a Trace," plus the reality show "Amazing Race." Now he has four new programs: "E-Ring," a Pentagon drama for NBC featuring Dennis Hopper and Benjamin Bratt; "Close to Home," a crime show set in the suburbs on CBS; "Just Legal," with Don Johnson as a cynical lawyer mentoring a young legal eagle for the WB; and finally "Modern Men," Bruckheimer's first sitcom, about three bachelors and their life coach, which will air mid-season on the WB.
His returning shows are among the top-rated on television. Critics have applauded the writing, directing and acting talent he marshals, and in the industry he is credited with bringing the high-end production values of the movies to the small screen. Part of his success has come from luring feature film actors -- such as Gary Sinise and William L. Petersen -- to TV, as well as established movie directors. Taylor Hackford, director of the Oscar-nominated biopic "Ray," for example, did the pilot for "E-Ring," and Andy Davis, director of "The Fugitive," did the same for "Just Legal."
In his office, Bruckheimer steers a guest away from his long desk, which is as orderly as a spreadsheet, to the leather couches and sits for a relatively rare interview. He speaks softly, so you have to lean forward to hear him. If his former producing partner, Don Simpson, who died from a massive overdose of cocaine and prescription drugs in 1996, was the extroverted showman, Bruckheimer is all discipline, as studiously forthcoming as a Supreme Court nominee.
His title on his television shows is executive producer, so what exactly does he do for a living? "We are a content company," he says. "We sit here and we create content."
Over Bruckheimer's 25-year career, the Hollywood Reporter estimates, his films have combined earnings of $13 billion.
So how does he spend his day?
Bruckheimer says he wakes at 6 a.m. and will leave the office after 8 p.m., and then he hopes to swing by the ice rink for an hour to slap around hockey pucks before he returns home.
"As you know, we have six ongoing series and four more were picked up, and there's always little bits and pieces of all those things that need your attention, and you also have to focus on what's next. We're constantly in production. We're producing a lot of different shows, and the movies, of course. We have four movies in the works now."
On this day, he took meetings with lawyers. "I met with Michael Bay today to try to get him back, to get a movie going with him." Bay is the director most recently of "The Island."
"There were some personnel issues to deal with. We have some scheduling problems with 'Pirates,' " as in the sequel to Johnny Depp's "Pirates of the Caribbean." "I was also hearing some new ideas. And casting. I spent part of the day looking at some tapes. Right now, we have two things we want to bring to the networks" in the spring, "and we're making deals right now with the writers, and then we'll go and pitch them to the networks."
Does Bruckheimer do the pitch? Nope, that is for his executives and the show's writer-creators. One imagines that the megaproducer hears pitches all day long, but in fact he says he does not, that his fellow producers do most of the listening. "They know what the company does. They know what a good idea for a movie or a show is. And they understand the kinds of things that we do."
Peter Roth, president of Warner Bros. Television, who is partner with Bruckheimer on his TV shows, explains: "What does Jerry do? What he does is make choices. Thousands of them a day." Roth believes that one of Bruckheimer's strengths is "he makes entertainment that pleases himself. He is the man with the golden gut. He is a man of the people, and I'm sorry that sounds corny, but he doesn't experience these shows as a Hollywood insider, but this guy from Detroit who wants to sit back and be entertained." At 59, "he's at the top of his game, not at all elitist. So many people in this town, I'm sorry to say, are charlatans and pretenders, who just want to make the money, make an impression, but [Bruckheimer] comes to it as a viewer, a consumer, first and foremost."
Bruckheimer says he reads the scripts of all his shows -- that's like a small phone book a week -- and is not shy about conveying his feelings, but does not overwhelm writers with notes. He watches all the shows, too, views the dailies and gives special attention to pilots, what he calls "the template" for a show.
Hackford, the film director who did the pilot for "E-Ring," remembers sitting in the editing room with Bruckheimer. "I was thinking let's see how this goes. But every comment he made was smart. We had to trim and his ideas were right on the money." Hackford says that the Pentagon refused to assist with the TV show (unlike the military's help with the filming of "Top Gun"). "But Bruckheimer didn't wilt. He said just do it without them. The great thing for me is that Jerry Bruckheimer and his team gave me all the help I needed and then they left me alone."
Bruckheimer says there's a style of show he won't do. Take reality TV. His "Amazing Race" is, if you can say this, "quality reality." But eating bugs on "Fear Factor" or trying to hook fat bachelors up with models? "I wouldn't watch it. Somebody can make it, but I wouldn't watch. That's what I'm talking about. I wouldn't enjoy it. I don't want to make a show that I wouldn't watch. It would be too painful." He pauses. "Look, I've made enough money that I never have to do another show, but I love what I do, and I'll keep doing it as long as I enjoy it."
Anthony Zuiker, creator of the original "CSI" (who pitched the show when he was a lowly tram operator at a Vegas resort), describes his boss as "ferociously commercial," and he means that in a good way. "He has the best eye, the best taste in the business."
Zuiker describes the "Bruckheimer style" of television this way: "His colors are richer, the palette, the lighting, dark and edgy, and the speed is quicker." He says Bruckheimer taught him to pace his shows with "valleys and peaks," a writing and editing approach "where you slow down and embrace a moment," then the action rushes forward with quick shots, with scenes often ending in a trademark "white pop," a visual flash of bleaching fadeaway, "and you're keeping the audience on its toes." Zuiker says the producer suggested he watch the German cult film "Run Lola Run," filled with quick cuts and flashbacks and -forwards, which taught the "CSI" creator that "I was dealing with fractured time," which is another hallmark of the "CSI" series and its clones.
With so many of his shows on the air (and many of them, critics say, feel quite similar in tone and content), is it a good thing for one man to serve as a kind of gatekeeper to prime time? Bruckheimer dismisses the idea. "I mean, everybody has an equal opportunity with their shows." And if you make the right decisions, "and the decisions add up, and you have the right pilot, it's going to take off and maybe become this supersonic jet and you have the number one drama on TV."
As for the success of his "CSIs" and their related fare, Bruckheimer explains that they are not traditional male-dominated cops-and-robbers shows, but "mysteries." He points out that the bestseller lists for novels are dominated by mysteries and that their biggest consumers are women, and so his shows pull in a strong female demographic, "and fortunately, the women control the remote."
He thinks his shows plug into a zeitgeist for "process, and I love process. I love being put in a place I know nothing about and showing how it actually works." Before the "CSIs," Bruckheimer says, he would watch a crime drama and often think "this is BS," so he wanted to show how a crime would be actually solved -- albeit in 47 minutes.
Here's a last bit of insight into the way the golden gut works. One of his new shows, "Close to Home," is about a district attorney in the suburbs. "I was recently called to jury duty," Bruckheimer says, "and you see these young women, these prosecutors, bright, smart, and you know they have families, they have wedding rings on, and so how do they deal with this tough job they have, this really ugly world that they live in, and take that home." At the same time, he was thinking about the Scott Peterson trial, where the murder takes place not in New York or Miami, but Modesto, where life is all very ordinary, until murder most foul intrudes. So he put it all together. Women. Suburbs. Crime. Process. And finally: hit?

The Klash is the war to end all wars. A
conflict of intergalactic proportions, the whole quadrant is locked in
stalemate between two hugely powerful rival factions — the Khmer Noir, ruled by
the terminally ill Lord Qwish, and the Empire of Spinsters, half-senile
fanatics headed by the Dowager Khan, who are leading a holy crusade against
smut and indecency. Caught in the crossfire is the library world of Shibboleth,
a planet which contains every book in every language ever written. The
Spinsters want this hive of filth destroyed, but for Qwish it may hold the
answers to his prayers.

Cotton has a long history: it has been cultivated and used to make fabrics for at least 7,000 years. It may have existed in Egypt as early as 12,000 B.C. Fragments of cotton fabrics found by archeologists in Mexico (Tehuacan Caves) are estimated to be 5,000-7,000 years old. In the Mohenjo Daro civilization of the Indus River Valley (what is now Pakistan), cotton was being grown, spun and woven into cloth 5,000 years ago. At about the same time, natives of Egypt's Nile valley were making and wearing cotton clothing. Arab merchants brought cotton cloth to Europe about 800 A.D. When Columbus arrived on the American continent in 1492, he found cotton growing in the Bahama Islands. While the history of Egyptian cotton may be the oldest, a genuine search for the history of cotton farming and production would help us understand that various peoples of the world had independently started using cotton thousands of years ago

The Fabric of Our Lives®*
Even after 7,000 years, cotton remains the most marvelous fiber in human life. It is noted for its versatility, appearance, performance, and comfort. From all types of apparel, to space suits, to sheets and towels, and tarpaulins and tents, cotton is still nature's wonder fiber that provides thousands of useful products. No other fiber even comes close. Consequently, cotton is the single best selling fiber in the world, outselling all man-made fibers combined.
And one shouldn't underestimate the productive capacity of the fiber! A bale of cotton (a little less than 500 pounds in weight) is sufficient to make 700 luxury bath towels or 300,000 $100 bills (yes, cotton makes up 75% of a dollar bill).
In terms of production, China, USA, India, Pakistan, and Brazil are the world leaders. In terms of mill use, the rankings go to China, India, Pakistan, USA, and Turkey. As for raw cotton exports, at 14 million bales a year (approx. 7 billion pounds), the United States exceeds the rest of the world combined. Annual business revenue stimulated by cotton in the U.S. economy exceeds $120 billion, making cotton the number one value-added crop in the country.
[* Cotton Incorporated, a U.S. based corporation, has proprietary rights over this slogan.]{jgototop}{/jgototop}
Not Just Fabric; It's Food and Feed
Cotton actually is two crops: fiber and seed. An often-overlooked component of the crop, about two thirds of the harvested crop is composed of the seed, part of which is fed whole to livestock. The remaining seed is crushed to separate its three products: oil, meal, and hulls. Cottonseed oil is a common component of many food items, used primarily as a cooking oil, shortening, and salad dressing. The oil is used extensively in the preparation of such snack foods as crackers and cookies. Limited quantities also go into soaps, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, textile finishes and other products. The meal and hulls are used as livestock, poultry and fish feed, and as fertilizer.{jgototop}{/jgototop}
Botanically Speaking
Cultivated cotton is a perennial shrub, genus Gossypium (Malvaceae or Mallow family). There are some forty recognized species, though all of the economically-relevant cotton production revolves around four species.
- Gossypium arboretum (India, Pakistan)
- Gossypium barbadense (South American, Pima, Egyptian)
- Gossypium herbaceum (Africa, Asia)
- Gossypium hirsutum (Mexican, Upland, most common, constitutes 90% of world's production)
G. arboreum and G. herbaceum are referred to as Old World Cotton, whereas G. barbadense and G. hirsutum are called New World Cotton.{jgototop}{/jgototop}
Separating Fiber from the Cotton Boll
The cotton gin is where cotton fiber is separated from the cotton seed. [When Eli Whitney patented his first "gin" towards the end of the eighteenth century, he was referring to the mechanical capacity of the "engine."] The first step in the ginning process is when the cotton is dried to reduce moisture and improve the fiber quality. Then it runs through cleaning equipment to remove leaf trash, sticks and other foreign matter.
Saw gins may be used for cotton varieties with shorter staple or fiber length. This process involves the use of circular saws that grip the fibers and pull them through narrow slots. The seeds are too large to pass through these openings, resulting in the fibers being pulled away from the seed. Long fiber cottons are ginned using a roller gin because saw gins can damage their delicate fibers. The roller gin was invented in India centuries ago and this concept is still used in modern gins. Long staple cottons, like Pima, separate from the seed more easily than the short-stapled Upland varieties. A roller gin uses a rough roller to grab the fiber and pull it under a rotating bar with gaps too small for the seed to pass.
The raw fiber, now called lint, goes through a press where it is compressed into bales. A bale weighs slightly less than 500 pounds of fiber. Samples then may be taken from each bale to classify (grade) the lot according to fiber strength, fineness, length, uniformity, color, and trash content using human expertise as well as equipment such as high volume instrumentation (HVI).{jgototop}{/jgototop}
Making the Yarn
Lint from several bales is mixed and blended together with the help of computers for production according to fiber properties. This ensures that the new high-speed automated feeding equipment performs at peak efficiency and that fiber properties are consistent. The blended lint is blown by air from the feeder through chutes to cleaning and carding machines that separate and align the fibers into a thin web. The web of fibers at the front of the card is then drawn through a funnel-shaped device called a trumpet, providing a rope-like strand called a sliver.
Roving frames draw or draft the slivers out even more thinly and add a gentle twist as the first step in ring spinning of yarn. Ring spinning machines further draw the roving and add twist making it tighter and thinner until it reaches the yarn thickness or "count" needed for weaving or knitting fabric. The yarns can be twisted many times per inch.
Open-end spinning, with rotors that can spin five to six times as fast as a ring spinning machine, are becoming more widespread. In open-end spinning, yarn is produced directly from sliver, thus eliminating the roving process. Other spinning systems, such as air jet and Vortex, have also eliminated the need for roving, as well as addressing the key limitation of both ring and open-end spinning, which is mechanical twisting. These systems use compressed air currents to stabilize the yarn. By removing the mechanical twisting methods, air jet and Vortex methods are more productive than their predecessors.
After spinning, the yarns are tightly wound around bobbins or tubes and are ready for fabric forming. Ply yarns are two or more single yarns twisted together. Cord is plied yarn twisted together.{jgototop}{/jgototop}
Making Fabric: Weaving and Knitting
Weaving is the oldest method of making yarn into fabric. While modern methods are more complex and much faster, the basic principle of interlacing yarns remains unchanged. On the loom, lengthwise yarns called the warp form the skeleton of the fabric. They usually require a higher degree of twist than the filling yarns that are interlaced widthwise.
Traditionally, cloth was woven by a wooden shuttle that moved horizontally back and forth across the loom, interlacing the filling yarn with the horizontally, lengthwise warp yarn. Modern mills use high-speed shuttle less weaving machines. Some carry the filling yarns across the loom at rates in excess of 2,000 meters per minute.
The rapier-type weaving machines have metal arms or rapiers that pick up the filling thread and carry it halfway across the loom where another rapier picks it up and pulls it the rest of the way. Other types employ small projectiles that pick up the filling thread and carry it all the way across the loom. Still other types employ compressed air to insert the filling yarn across the warp. Besides speed, the modern machine is also more versatile and quieter than its older counterpart.
There are three basic weaves with numerous variations, and cotton can be used in all of them: (1) the plain weave, in which the filling is alternately passed over one warp yarn and under the next, is used for gingham, percales, chambray, batistes and many other fabrics; (2) the twill weave, in which the yarns are interlaced to form diagonal ridges across the fabric, is used for sturdy fabrics like denim, gabardine, herringbone and ticking; (3) the satin weave, the least common of the three, produces a smooth fabric with high sheen. Used for cotton sateen, it is produced with fewer yarn interlacings and with either the warp or filling yarns dominating the face of the cloth.
Knitting, on the other hand, is a method of constructing fabric by using a series of needles to interlock loops of yarn. Lengthwise rows of these loops, comparable to the warp yarn in woven goods, are called wales. Crosswise rows, comparable to filling yarns, are known as courses. There are many similarities in knitting done by hand and machine, but there are also some significant differences.
A hand knitter uses two needles forming one stitch at a time. Depending on the width of fabric desired, a modern knitting machine might use over 2,500 needles. Most cotton is knit on circular machines which have needles fixed to the rim of a rotating cylinder. As the cylinder turns, the needles work their way from stitch to stitch producing a tubular fabric. Its width is regulated by the size of the cylinder, which usually ranges from 9 to 60 inches in diameter.
Instead of a single cone of yarn, a knitting machine may have up to four cones per inch of fabric width. For example, a machine with a 32-inch cylinder can have over 2,700 needles and 128 cones of yarn feeding simultaneously.
The flat knitting machine is another basic type. Designed with a flat bed, it has dozens of needles arranged in a straight line and produces a knit fabric that is flat, similar to woven fabric. A flat knitting machine makes over one million stitches a minute, and can be set to drop or add stitches automatically in order to narrow or widen the fabric at certain points to conform to specific shapes. Knitting machines can be programmed to produce a wide variety of fabrics and shapes.{jgototop}{/jgototop}
Dyeing, Printing and Finishing
Cotton fabrics, as they come from the loom in their rough, unfinished stages, are known as greige goods or grey cloth. Most undergo various finishing processes to meet specific usage requirements. Besides spinning and weaving, some mills also dye or print their fabrics and finish them. Others sell greige goods to converters who have the cloth finished in independent plants. Computers are being used increasingly in the dyeing, printing, and finishing processes to formulate and match colors with greater speed and accuracy.
In its simplest form, finishing includes cleaning and preparing the cloth, dyeing or printing it and then treating it to enhance performance characteristics. To produce a smooth surface in preparation for dyeing and finishing, the greige goods are passed rapidly over gas-fired jets or heated copper plates to singe off lint and loose threads.
Moving at speeds that can be greater than 200 yards a minute, the material is scoured and bleached in a continuous process that involves the use of hydrogen peroxide. The time for the chemicals to do the preparation reactions occurs from piling the fabric on conveyor belts that pass through steaming chambers, or stacking in large steam-heated, J-shaped boxes before the goods are withdrawn from the bottom.
If a more lustrous cloth is desired, the goods are immersed under tension in a caustic soda solution and then later neutralized. The process, called mercerizing, causes the fiber to swell permanently. This gives the fabric a silken sheen, improves its strength and increases its affinity for dye. Mercerizing also can be done at the yarn stage.
The most commonly used processes for imparting color to cotton are piece dyeing and yarn dyeing.
In piece dyeing, which is used primarily for fabrics that are to be a solid color, a continuous length of dry cloth is passed full-width through a trough of hot dye solution. The cloth then goes between padded rollers that squeeze in the color evenly and removes the excess liquid. In one variation of this basic method, the fabric, in a rope-like coil, is processed on a reel that passes in and out of a dye beck or vat.
Yarn dyeing, which occurs before the cloth is woven or knitted, is used to produce checks, plaids, woven stripes and other special effects. Blue dyed warp yarns, for example, are combined with white filling yarns in denim construction.
One of the most commonly used yarn dyeing methods is package dyeing. In this system, yarn is wound on perforated cylinders or packages and placed on vertical spindles in a round dyeing machine. Dye solution is forced alternately from the outside of the packages inward and from the inside out under pressure.
Printing colored designs on cotton cloth is similar to printing on paper. Prevalent methods include "wet" printing such as flat-bed screen, rotary screen, and engraved roller (80% of present-day printing is flat/rotary screen; rotary alone accounts for over 60% of the market practice). "Dry" printing, such as transfer printing, involves transfer calendars and paper. Digital printing is the newest technique using CAD systems and equipment such as wax jet / inkjet printing. This method is still in its infancy and as yet has less than 1% of the market.
In engraved-roller method, long runs of the same fabric design are produced on a machine operating at speeds between 50 to 100 yards a minute. As many as of 10 different colors can be printed in one continuous operation. A typical printing machine has a large padded drum or cylinder, which is surrounded by a series of copper rollers, each with its own dye trough and doctor blade that scrapes away excess dye. The number of rollers varies according to the fabric design, since each color in the design is etched on a separate roller. As the cloth moves between the rotating drum and rollers under great pressure, it picks up color from the engraved area of each roller in sequence. The printed cloth is dried immediately and conveyed to an oven that sets the dye.
The automatic screen-printing method, though slower than roller printing, has the advantage of producing much larger and more intricate designs, elaborate shadings and various handcrafted effects. In flat bed screen-printing, the fabric design is reproduced on fine mesh screens, one for each color. On each screen, the areas in the design that are not to be penetrated by the dye are covered with lacquer or some other dye-resistant coating. The screens are coated with dye on the back and mounted in the proper sequence above a flat bed. As a belt carries the fabric along from screen to screen, a squeegee or roller presses the dye through the open area of the screen onto the fabric. The new flat bed machines can have speeds of up to 1,200 yards per hour for a fabric with a 36-inch design repeat.
The recently developed rotary screen printing machines have production speeds of up to 3,500 yards an hour. The system combines roller and screen printing, utilizing perforated cylinders instead of flat screens. The color paste is fed inside the cylinders and a small metal roller forces the color through the pores of the cylinder onto the fabric which is moving continuously under the cylinders. As many as 16 colors can be printed on one fabric using this method. Use of this technique is increasing since the screens or cylinders can be produced less expensively than the engraved copper rollers used in roller printing.
Finishing, as the term implies, is the final step in fabric production. Hundreds of finishes can be applied to textiles, and the methods of application are as varied as the finishes. Different types of finishing processes include, but are not limited to: washing, drying, shrink control, needle-punching, napping, shearing, backcoating, and stain repellent finishes such as Scotchguard™ and Teflon.™ A finish often contributes to a fabric's "feel" or "hand." It may also contribute such characteristics as bulk or loft, and resistance to abrasion or stains. For example, washing a fabric adds softness and loft, whereas backcoating a fabric adds durability.
Commercial complexities aside, cotton has indeed been the fiber of our lives for thousands of years.{jgototop}{/jgototop}

HADOOP-337 'DFS files should be appendable' makes mention of file append but it was opened early in the life of HDFS when the focus was more on implementing the basics rather than adding new features. Interest fizzled. Because HADOOP-337 is also a bit of a grab-bag -- it includes truncation and being able to concurrently read/write -- rather than try and breathe new life into HADOOP-337, instead, here is a new issue focused on file append. Ultimately, being able to do as the google GFS paper describes -- having multiple concurrent clients making 'Atomic Record Append' to a single file would be sweet but at least for a first cut at this feature, IMO, a single client appending to a single HDFS file letting the application manage the access would be sufficent. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

To write a ColdFusion application, you can use virtually any text editor or an HTML authoring tool that allows you to directly edit the code. As we discussed in Chapter 1, a ColdFusion application is a collection of web pages, also called templates, that work together to allow a user to perform a task. When you create a CFML template, you typically embed the CFML code within standard HTML (although it is also possible to create files that contain only CFML, as you'll see later in the chapter). A ColdFusion application can be as simple as a single page. Consider the following example, which outputs the current date to the browser:
  <TITLE>CFML Example</TITLE>   <CFOUTPUT>
Today's date is #DateFormat(Now( ),'mm/dd/yyyy')#

The prospect of record low savings rates continuing is forcing many savers to review how they allocate their capital in an attempt to achieve the level of returns they have previously enjoyed. Investing in the stock market inevitably involves putting your capital at risk however there is a middle ground which continues to attract increasing interest – the structured deposit. With this in mind, we take a deeper look at this savings alternative to help understand why more and more savers are starting to see their appeal. more
With the current economic environment asking savers far more questions than it gives answers, it is good to know that there are alternatives available. We take a look at one such alternative that is proving particularly popular as savers face the harsh reality that the more traditional fixed rate savings products are failing to meet their needs. more
Millions of savers are facing the harsh realisty that there is little hope of change to interest and savings rates in the coming years. However, those with Cash ISAs do have one further option to consider – the ISA transfer. We take a closer look at why this is becoming a rising trend as well as what this could mean for those looking for the potential to improve the returns from their capital. more

Therefore, provided the Index has gone up by at least 10% at the end of the term (subject to averaging in the last year), you will receive the maximum return of 40%. Capital protection is provided by Santander UK which as at today is rated A+ by Standard & Poor's.
With the recent fall in the FTSE 100 over the last month, this could be seen as an attractive opportunity."

Even as Gary Bettman pumps Sidney Crosby's tires, there are weeks to go and miles to travel before the parade.
The Penguins are good, all right, very good, but right at the very moment the East seemed theirs for the taking and a first-round meat-grinder against the Flyers would thus have become the Rangers' burden, Pittsburgh lost two straight to the Islanders.
So imposing, yes, but unbeatable no, and certainly not with the very strong defending champion Bruins awaiting with second-round home ice if form generally holds in the NHL's inequitable playoff format — unless the commissioner can push through a rule change via Amendment 87 over the fortnight.
An upset or two is likely in an early round, though the definition of such is unclear in this unfair system in which the team with the sixth-most points in each conference has home ice in the first round and would keep it in the second if able to advance.
It is true that a team has to be in it to win it, but this notion that once in it any team can win it is historical malarkey. Fact is, only one team that started the first round on the road since the NHL went to a conference-based playoff format in 1994 has won the Stanley Cup — the 1995 Devils team seeded fifth following a 48-game lockout-truncated season.
The Rangers have been ready for the playoffs since December. They have shined in the spotlight all season. Their goaltender is hockey royalty on a blue collar team that six weeks from now will service their own vehicles for the ride up the Canyon of Heroes, with those from NHL headquarters on Sixth Avenue invited to take mass transit to watch the ceremonies from behind the police barriers.
Larry Brooks' prediction: (1) Rangers over (8) Senators in 6
Mark Everson's prediction: (1) Rangers over (8) Senators in 5
Brooks analysis: This talented, quick opponent will provide the strong test the Black-and-Blueshirts require as a springboard to bigger and better things. The East top seed's playoff-made approach and superior goaltending will prevail despite the threat Jason Spezza poses on each shift.
Larry Brooks' prediction: (2) Bruins over (7) Capitals in 5
Mark Everson's prediction: (2) Bruins over (7) Capitals in 6
Brooks analysis: The Zdeno Chara-Alexander Ovechkin matchup does not favor Washington any more than the Tim Thomas -goaltender by committee match does unless, that is, the Caps play their home games at the White House. Tyler Seguin is the Cup break-out star waiting to happen for the defending champions, who should breeze given their talent and edge in commitment.
Larry Brooks' prediction: (6) Devils over (3) Panthers in 6
Mark Everson's prediction: (6) Devils over (3) Panthers in 5
Brooks analysis: Martin Brodeur enters this tournament off a Jeterian second-half, recapturing brilliance even when most believed his game had faded for good. Zach Parise (never past the second round) and Ilya Kovalchuk (career 1-8 in the playoffs), the best players in the series, hunger for success.
Larry Brooks' prediction: (4) Penguins over (5) Flyers in 7
Mark Everson's prediction: (4) Penguins over (5) Flyers in 6
Brooks analysis: The only thing the Flyers have to fear in this gauntlet of a series is their own goaltending, but the gap between Marc-Andre Fleury and Ilya Bryzgalov is about as wide as the current 36-year gap between Cups for "Mr. Snider." Penguins will prevail on sheer talent, but Flyers will extract their pounds of flesh.
Larry Brooks' prediction: (1) Canucks over (8) Kings in 5
Mark Everson's prediction: (1) Canucks over (8) Kings in 5
Brooks analysis: Health of Daniel Sedin may become a factor as the tournament progresses and so might the likely Roberto Luongo/Cory Schneider debate, but neither should be first-round impediment as tested Vancouver attempts to become first repeat Presidents' Trophy winner to win the Cup year after losing in the Final.
Larry Brooks' prediction: (7) Sharks over (2) Blues in 7
Mark Everson's prediction: (7) Sharks over (2) Blues in 6
Brooks analysis: Counterintuitive to pretty much everything that took place on the ice during the 82-game preliminary, but if San Jose goaltending can be responsible against club ranked 14th out of 16 playoff participants in goals-scored, the old gang should pull the upset before inevitable defeat and summer reconstruction.
Larry Brooks' prediction: (3) Coyotes over (6) Blackhawks in 6
Mark Everson's prediction: (6) Blackhawks over (3) Coyotes in 6
Brooks analysis: The uncertainty regarding Jonathan Toews' long-term status equals the uncertainty of Chicago's Corey Crawford-Ray Emery tandem in net that recorded the West's poorest GAA among playoff qualifiers while Mike Smith goes into the series riding a wave.
Larry Brooks' prediction: (4) Predators over (5) Red Wings in 6
Mark Everson's prediction: (5) Red Wings over (4) Predators in 6
Brooks analysis: Built for the playoffs, Nashville is not only solid everywhere but unfazed by the aura of the Red Wings, who still have brilliance at the top in Pavel Datsyuk, Henrik Zetterberg and Nicklas Lidstrom but no longer have the depth required of champions.

"A Talent known as the 'Kobukan Prodigy'"
"Fold them in two," is a good way to put it. This certainly describes Rinjiro Shirata's attitude. He was tough on opponents who challenged him, to the point of being uncaring. It was hard not to feel sympathy for the challenger.
Of course, he had good reason for his demeanor.
Construction of the Kobukan Dojo was completed in April 1931 on the site where the present Aikikai Honbu Dojo now stands. The dojo held 80 tatami mats and was headed by a great master of the period, Morihei Ueshiba. At the time, he was teaching a martial art called things like "Ueshiba-ryu Jujutsu" or "Aiki Budo." Important people such as business leaders and high-ranking military officers were drawn by his fame and lined up to be his students.
At the same time, Morihei attracted young men from all over the country who came to the Kobukan in an effort to meet him. But Morihei wasn't trying to spread his personal budo across the world. Instead, his efforts were directed toward further progress and the refinement of his personal technique. He didn't say it was a nuisance; he just did not have much interest in having many students, especially uchideshi, or throwing his doors wide open. It could be said that, for this reason, he never admitted an aspiring student who asked to join without a proper introduction from a sponsor, and this reinforced a mystique that covered the private confines of the Kobukan like a veil.
Happily, Rinjiro Shirata, who aspired to be an aikidoka, was blessed with a sponsor and, with the teacher's approval, became an uchideshi in 1932. A year later, he had distinguished himself among the uchideshi.
"Hey Shirata, see who's out front!"
Whenever there was a menacing visitor, the senior uchideshi always had Rinjiro take care of it. Indeed, he had a good physique. His height was 5' 7", his weight, 165 pounds, and he was 20 years old. He was a son of the Yamagata "Mountain Forest King" and it showed in his countenance. His fair skin, eyes, nose and mouth projected the clear image of Momotaro, the Peach Boy, straight out of a fairy tale.
"I'll take care of it."
The stylish Rinjiro tied a hakama over his training uniform and on top of that wore a hatch-patterned haori coat without any identifying crest. He politely asked the visitor the purpose of their visit. No, he didn't ask. Rather he saw what was written on the visitor's face; they had come to fight with the school and Morihei Ueshiba.
Most of the Kobukan uchideshi had high ranks in kendo or judo. Probably for that reason, uchideshi with judo experience rushed to meet a visitor if it was apparent that he did judo. At this dojo, whoever was fastest won, but the unwritten law was that seniors had priority.
Rinjiro had been the captain of his school's judo club, and his strength was unsurpassed back in his home prefecture. However, he was not allowed to meet judo visitors; the seniors grabbed them all. Rinjiro was only chosen to take care of suspicious looking visitors when it was unclear what kind of martial art they used.
"Because I wish to enroll, please give me a lesson."
The visitor that day was a tall thin man of about thirty with thick stubble on his hollow cheeks. He had a husky voice, and at first he bowed his head, but then he stared back at Rinjiro ominously through narrowed eyes, as if he didn't know how to blink.
After explaining the history and the spirit of Aiki Budo, Rinjiro said, "A person who wishes to study aikido should start with the spirit. If the spirit is not correct, the path will also be incorrect." But from the start the visitor refused to listen. "What I want is the one thing at which the Kobukan excels." Hearing that, Rinjiro resigned himself and invited the visitor into the dojo.
The senior student, Aritoshi Murashige, was in the dojo, and Gozo Shioda ( later head of the Yoshinkan) entered at the same time. Neither of them appeared particularly tense; rather they looked at Rinjiro and the visitor with faces full of anticipation.
The Aiki of One Blow, Certain Victory
"Please bow before the kami."
While Rinjiro was showing him into the dojo the visitor said, "Teach me with your actions." Without warning, the man unleashed a furious kick at Rinjiro, whose back was turned. Surprised, Rinjiro just managed to twist his body. The man stood with his left leg forward, deeply bent, and the back leg straight, he put his left hand straight out and his right was near his hip.
"Is he coming?"
As Rinjiro noticed him bend his rear leg to strike, the man sent out another strong kick. The movement of his body was quick. It was obviously karate. The kick is called "Crescent Moon Kick" in some karate styles, but of course Rinjiro didn't know that.
It's redundant, but people who have only seen aikido after the war when it was completed harbor doubts about a situation involving an opponent using arts like karate or boxing. Would aikido win, or would they be evenly matched?
Certainly, today's aikido gives the impression of circularity, and is focused on non-aggressive defense, so it is probably hard to find a response for that kind of destructive power. Nevertheless, in the aikido of Rinjiro's time, attack and defense were simultaneous. Moreover, "aiki" was certain victory with a single blow.
Just before the opponent sent out his right kick, Rinjiro's left shoulder was pushed out a little to the side as he stood with his left foot forward. This was clearly an invitation to the opponent. The kick came flying towards his shoulder. Entering diagonally to the front Rinjiro instantly avoided it. Using his front left hand, he placed a hard fist in front of the opponent's eyes.
Normally at this point, the match would clearly be Rinjiro's. He had demonstrated a strike aimed not only at the face, but at the eyes. The opponent didn't understand this and he jumped nimbly backwards, so Rinjiro quickly closed the distance and delivered a bitter lesson.
There was a technique, "rokkajo", that the uchideshi used constantly in contests between schools at the Kobukan in this period. Now it probably can be called a phantom technique. Yokomenuchi to the opponent's front or side in response to their thrust; the same essential points are in today's yokomenuchi shihonage. The points that differed the most were that the face was struck and the opponent's elbow twisted to its limit. In the end, opponents were put on their stomach using the lever principle and their wrist held down with the knee. At the same time, their spine was completely pinned.
Rinjiro was endowed with strong physical ability. People in his hometown often saw him easily tossing large bales of rice. He grasped the elbow, or possibly the wrist of the opponent who had been pinned with rokkajo, and seizing the neck with the other hand he lifted the man up and casually tossed him backwards. It's likely that the man's arm was broken as he was thrown, and not being able to take the fall, he ended up seriously injured.
"Idiot! Can't you go a little easier?"
Morihei, who happened to be present, thundered at Rinjiro. But this was just for the visitor, who had suffered harsh damage. After sending him away hobbling with a stick, Morihei said, "Well done. That was good."
Morihei broke into a smile and became cheerful, treating Rinjiro to some sweets. Rinjiro said, "In my own way, I was going easy." If he were asked, he would have said that his treatment of the visitor was justified. As evidence, Rinjiro said that when facing visitors who had requested a match, he had never actually hit anyone. However, it depends how you take that. It could be said that he dared to omit strikes because ending the match with one blow would be uninteresting.
"What? That's it? Kind of boring, isn't it? If you had fallen, I would have taken your place." The senior student, Murashige, grumbled, looking bored. This was an outrageous dojo and had the name, "Hell Dojo " among the people. That doesn't seem like an exaggeration. If one searches for strong martial arts in history, no doubt the Kobukan uchideshi of this period would be among the best in Japanese history.
