Seattle is rocking the craft spirits world and Westland Distillery is the latest to challenge the notion that single malts hail solely from Scotland.
To most people, American whiskey is synonymous with bourbon, but on a recent trip to the Westland Distillery Zach Geballe of the Seattle Weekly learns just how different an American single malt is to a bourbon, and how the making of it has more similarities to winemaking.
What makes Westland's single-malt whiskies so special? Master distiller Matt Hoffmann says it's a combination of "local ingredients, American ingenuity, and Scottish techniques." Read more about Geballe's visit and what Westland is doing that's almost unheard of in Scotland. Read the full story here.

Icy Spicy Margarita
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This is a drink that can be adjusted to your taste, but combines the heat of a hot pepper with the cooling fruit of the mango, and the interest of a fresh herb. A tiny bit of milled pepper further accents the fruit. Use a jalapeno or fresno if you want less heat than the serrano. If you don't have lemon verbena, you can substitute basil or cilantro. The hot and cold combo is confusingly wonderful. At first I thought I would want a frozen version of this drink, but I have decided that this version is best. —Sagegreen
Serves 1
- 2 small chunks of bitesize fresh ripe peeled mango
- a few small pieces of serrano pepper sliced thin (to taste, @ 1/2 inch) Sub a jalapeno or fresno for less heat
- 2 lemon verbena leaves, divided
- 3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1 ounce Cointreau
- 2 ounces tequila (blanco)
- 6 cracked ice cubes, divided
- lime wedge and mango peel for rim rubbing
- coarse Himalayan pink salt mixed with a hint of Aleppo pepper for rim
- lime wheel for garnish
- Muddle the mango, chili, and herb leaf really well with the lime juice in a cocktail shaker. Pour in the Cointreau and tequila. Add half the cracked ice. Cover and shake really well for a good minute.
- Run a lime wedge and a piece of mango peel along the rim of a well-chilled glass and then salt with the coarse salt/Aleppo pepper combo. The color and flavor effects are brilliant. Add the other half of the ice to the glass. Strain and pour the drink into the glass. Fish out some of the muddled mango and chili to add to the drink. Garnish with a fresh herbal leaf and lime wheel. Cheers.

Light Duty Diesel Pickups
What's one more truck thread?
I wonder if these will come to fruition.
Nissan Titan
Ram 1500
I'm going to hold my breath now
...they here yet?!
Someone wake me up when they arrive.....
You won't be able to touch either one for under $45,000. As much as I'd love to have a "small" (:lol3:rofl:lol3) diesel pickup, the unobtainium surcharge is going to make them rediculous. When I came to this realization I started looking at gas models. While hunting for Toyotas (both Tacoma and Tundra) I realized I could get an ecoboost F-150 for a little over $30,000- pretty much the same as a similar Toyota, with better fuel economy.
I actually wrote a letter to Toyota explaining why I didn't buy one (I've owned several Toyota trucks in the past). Essentially I said that their competition is at least trying to squeeze better fuel economy out of their trucks with "technological innovations" like cylinder deactivation, direct injection, and turbocharging. I pointed out that their minor face lift for the 2014 Tundra with the same old gas guzzling engines sends the message that they're resting on their laurels and depending on brand loyalty too much. Within a week I got a response from them thanking me for my feedback and they insisted that they are working on their fuel economy and hope I'll consider them next time.
With the threat of these light duty diesels it looks like they'll really have to step it up if they want customers to stick around. (edit:) So while I have little hope that we'll see these trucks at a reasonable price in the near future, I'm glad they're at least pushing the envelope.
I fear the $45k comment will probably be too accurate though. :huh :cry
I currently drive a 2005 2wd 4cylinder MT GMC Canyon. The fact that none of the players had updated the midsize market in a very very long time keeps me from even considering changing now.
I hope that someone gets serious with the midsize market in the next couple of years. I don't have any desire to go full size (1/2ton) and no I don't pine for a true "little" truck. The midsize suits me just fine. I am the lone ADVrider that will admit to wanting power door locks and power windows with cruise control-- maybe as I'm one of the few who actually drives a vehicle daily without those items. :lol3
I want it all, and I should be able to have it with improvements in engine technology. More power, better gas mileage (I get 21.5 highway/town/mixed/period) and a nicer interior.
Even with a "convenience package" for your windows and cruise, you should be able to get one ordered for under $30k.
Sure, go to the local car lot and all you'll see is optioned-out crew cabs with short-short beds and big chrome wheels because that's what all the suburbanites are buying. That doesn't mean you can't get what you want, though.
The Nissan Frontier is nicer, but thirstier. I don't care for the Tacoma. Both of those trucks are what, 9 years since the last re-design? I would like a real choice of small to midsize pickups. I want a manual trans, but now no full size even offers a manual anymore.:huh
Between the higher cost of diesel, cold weather driveability, high costs of maintenance and $7000 DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) exhausts, there's no diesel in my future.
Maybe for my next truck, building a mid-90's rust-free GMC Sierra or Ranger wouldn't be a bad idea...:hmmmmm
For $1300 you can get a gas engine in the Ram 1500 with significantly more horsepower and almost the same torque as their new diesel offering. It'll be difficult to sell the diesel in my opinion. The mileage difference has to be significant in order to get over the additional cost of diesel at the pump (where I live diesel is almost always more expensive). It's also been siginficantly more for a diesel engine at initial sale.
It's been hard to pencil a diesel over gas in a small truck. Makes much more sense when you're towing heavy (need the torque) and putting on significant miles (where the perception of diesel longevity plays into it).
I'm sure any small Diesel will be close to the same price as a full size. I just don't see them selling well.
I replaced my Dodge 2500 CTD 4x4 utility bed (7,200# empty) with a '08 F150 4x2 with a "short" bed (6'6") and a v6.
200 hp, and plenty of torque. I get 20mpg on the highway, if I keep it around 75.
The new v6 has 300 hp, a bunch of torque and a 10,000 pound tow rating (from memory, I may be wrong). Not the turbo version, the base motor.
A small Diesel would be nice, but the payoff would take forever

In the end everything turns out all right, if everything is not all right, then it's not the end.
If I had to describe myself in three terms I would say that I'm light-hearted, fun-loving, and independent. Luckily I have more room than that so I'll go on to say that I love trying new things and always try to live life to its fullest. I never pass up on an opportunity to go someplace I've never been before and to meet new people. I love traveling and there are still so many places I want to visit (which includes most of the world). I'm a pretty independent person yet I know my limits and will ask for help if I need to. I'm also a very driven person. I'm recently graduated with my Master's degree and I'm currently looking for a new job. Despite being pretty busy I still try to squeeze in as many fun things into my busy week as I can. This includes dinner or drinks with friends, going to the movies, and going to events around town. But that's enough about me. I'm looking for someone who doesn't take life too seriously but still knows what he wants from it. He definitely has to have a good sense of humor and be willing to try new things. He should enjoy going out for a night on the town but also enjoys lazy Saturday nights with take out and a good movie. If this sounds like you please send me a message, I'd love to get to know you better.

A method of implementing a privileged instruction that enables the development of new operating systems in user mode. The instruction decode logic includes a maskable interrupt generator that interrupts the processor during the processing of privileged instructions in user mode. An exception handler processes the privileged instruction interrupt and performs a function similar to the execution of the privileged instruction in privileged instruction mode. The combination of the privileged instruction interrupt and the post-interrupt exception handling enables the operating system developer to test new operating systems by laying them over the current operating system.
1. An apparatus for debugging a new operating system within user mode of a processor having a privileged instruction execution monitor mode wherein privileged instructions are executed and a user mode wherein a privileged instruction is typically treated as a no-operation instruction, the processor comprising an instruction execution unit which executes an instruction parcel having an opcode, the processor further comprising a current instruction parcel register, connected to the instruction execution unit, which receives the instruction parcel before passing the instruction parcel to the instruction execution unit, the apparatus comprising:
processor interrupt means, connected to the current instruction parcel register and the instruction execution unit, for generating a hardware interrupt to said instruction execution unit on encountering a privileged instruction during user mode, wherein the processor interrupt means comprise an interrupt generator which generates the hardware interrupt when the instruction parcel opcode received by the current instruction parcel register is associated with a privileged instruction; and
interrupt enable means connected to said processor interrupt means for disabling said hardware interrupt, wherein the interrupt enable means comprise a mode select register connected to the interrupt generator, wherein the mode select register comprises a mode select bit which operates to prevent issuance of the hardware interrupt by the interrupt generator.
2. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said interrupt enabling means further comprise means for changing the mode select bit under control of an exchange packet.
3. A method of emulating an operating system having a privileged instruction within user mode of a vector processing computer having both a user mode and a privileged instruction executing monitor mode, comprising the steps of:
providing a processing unit comprising an instruction execution unit, a current instruction register, an interrupt generator and a mode select register comprising a mode select bit having a first and a second logic state;
providing a sequence of instructions, wherein the sequence of instructions includes a first instruction followed by a second instruction and wherein the first instruction is a privileged instruction;
storing the first instruction in the current instruction register;
if the mode select bit is in the first logic state:
generating, from the interrupt generator to the instruction execution unit, a hardware interrupt associated with the privileged instruction;
performing a packet exchange sequence to enter privileged instruction executing mode;
executing, in privileged instruction mode, a series of instructions which emulate execution of the privileged instruction; and
returning to user mode to fetch the second instruction; and
otherwise, treating the first instruction as a NO-OP instruction and fetching the second instruction.
4. A method of testing program code for a new operating system in a computer having both a user mode and a privileged instruction executing monitor mode, wherein the program code includes a privileged instruction, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a hardware interrupt circuit for generating a hardware interrupt when the privileged instruction is detected while the computer is in said user mode;
enabling the hardware interrupt circuit;
placing the computer in user mode;
loading the new operating system and executing the new operating system program code within the user mode;
trapping the privileged instruction, wherein the step of trapping the privileged instruction comprises:
detecting the privileged instruction; and
generating the hardware interrupt when the privileged instruction is detected;
switching to the monitor mode; and
emulating the privileged instruction.
This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/678,127, filed Apr. 1, 1991, now abandoned.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention pertains to the field of high speed digital data processors and more particularly, to a method of instruction implementation useful for operating system development.
2. Background Information
An operating system is a collection of programs that controls the execution of other programs in a computer system. Operating system programs reside in processor memory where they coordinate, among other things, such tasks as I/O operations and the execution of background tasks and application programs on the system. Operating systems free the application programmer from hardware anomalies by, in effect, hiding the hardware behind a well-behaved and documented interface. And they improve the efficiency of execution of a computer system by managing memory and controlling when a program can execute. As such the performance of the operating system is critical for achieving optimal system performance.
Since operating systems perform these critical functions of program and memory control, processors have evolved with powerful privileged instructions which can be used to affect the execution of the machine. Typical instructions are those used for I/O control, interrupt handling and masking and program control. Privileged instructions are typically constrained to execute in a privileged instruction mode accessible only to operating systems. This is done to protect systems from catastrophic failure due to incorrectly written application programs.
In the Cray Y-MP manufactured by the Assignee of the present invention, there are two modes of instruction execution: monitor mode and user mode. Privileged instructions run only in monitor mode. If a privileged instruction issues while the processor is not in monitor mode, it is treated as a no-operation instruction.
The operating system of the typical Cray Y-MP computer system manages execution of application programs through the use of exchange sequences, fetch sequences and issue sequences. Exchange sequences occur at initialization or when a program is started. An exchange sequence moves sets of basic parameters called exchange packages. Parameters currently residing in the operating registers of a processor are moved to memory and, simultaneously, different parameters are loaded to the operating registers.
The Cray Y-MP is a multitasking system. That is, it supports the execution of more than one program in a processor at a time. It also is a multiprocessing system. Therefore a program begun in one processor may be swapped to memory and continued later in a different processor. To facilitate this, each exchange package contains information that is used to coordinate the transition from one program to another. Exchange package contents describe the state of the processor at the time that a program is started or swapped to memory (exchanged). This information includes the contents of control registers, pending interrupts, current vector length and memory addressing constraints. It also includes the logical address of the processor that performed the exchange sequence. These are the basic parameters necessary to provide continuity when a program stops and restarts.
The development of an operating system is a complicated and time-consuming process which typically revolves around many iterations of software releases. The difficulty of the task is compounded by the need to test the system in privileged instruction mode in order to ascertain the function of the privileged instructions. Since an operating system running in privileged instruction mode is free of many of the constraints invoked to protect other software, operating systems must be debugged separate from application code. Then the operating system must be placed into a realistic environment in which it can be tested performing its control tasks.
This problem is compounded in the case of new hardware platforms. In the development of new operating systems on new hardware platforms, there is a great deal of uncertainty as to whether the hardware, operating system or application code is the source of a problem.
In prior art systems, special instructions have been provided that ease the task of debugging software. In microprocessors such as the 68000 family by Motorola, a facility is included for "tracing" following each instruction. When "tracing" is enabled, an exception is forced after each instruction is executed. Thus a debugging program can monitor the execution of the program under test.
The 68000 family also features trap instructions. The TRAP instruction always forces an exception and is useful for implementing system calls for user programs. Other instructions can force trap exceptions on abnormal conditions encountered during instruction execution (such as a division operation with a divisor of zero).
Although instructions like a TRAP instruction and facilities like trace make debugging of application code much easier, they are less useful in the development of operating systems. TRAP instructions can be used to detect error conditions or to cause an unconditional swap to the operating system. But they are of limited use in program code executing in privileged mode. Facilities such as trace create a large amount of overhead that can lead to uncharacteristic code execution and may cause one to miss errors in code interactions. This is especially critical in areas of system control such as I/O.
It is clear that there is a need for a method of developing operating system code that will promote rapid and accurate development of new operating systems. What is needed is a privileged instruction that can be executed to a limited extent in user mode without increasing the danger of system instability.
The present invention is a method of implementing a privileged instruction that enables the development of new operating systems in user mode. The instruction decode logic includes a maskable interrupt generator that interrupts the processor during the processing of privileged instructions in user mode. An exception handler processes the privileged instruction interrupt and performs a function similar to the execution of the privileged instruction in privileged instruction mode. The combination of the privileged instruction interrupt and the post-interrupt exception handling enables the operating system developer to test new operating systems by laying them over the current operating system.
FIG. 1 is a high-level block diagram of a portion of a vector processor with privileged instruction interrupt according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows the exchange package used in the vector processing computing system of the present invention.
FIGS. 3A and 3B show a simplified block diagram of one embodiment of the vector processor shown in FIG. 1.
FIGS. 4A and 4B show a more detailed block diagram of one embodiment of the vector processor shown in FIG. 1.
In the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment, references made to the accompanying drawing which form a part thereof, and which is shown by way of illustration a specific embodiment in which the invention may be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
FIG. 1 illustrates a portion of processor 10 with privileged instruction interrupt according to the present invention. Processor 10 includes an instruction execution unit 28 connected to current instruction parcel (CIP) register 20, lower instruction parcel (LIP) register 22, lower instruction parcel 1 (LIP1) register 24, interrupt generator 26 and mode select 30. Current instruction parcel 20 is connected through next instruction parcel (NIP) 18 to two read-out registers 14 which are connected in turn to the eight instruction buffers 12.1 through 12.8. Program address register 16 is connected to read-out registers 14 and instruction buffers 12.1 through 12.8. Program address register 16 provides the address into buffers 12. Even-numbered words are loaded into one of the read-out registers 14, while odd-numbered words are loaded into the other. Instruction buffers 12.1 through 12.8 serve as intermediate storage for instructions fetched from main memory (not shown). They function as an elementary instruction caching function.
In the preferred embodiment, instructions can be one, two or three parcels long. Each parcel is sixteen bits. Next instruction parcel register 18 receives an instruction parcel from one of the read-out registers 14. While the instruction is held in register 18, it is decoded to determine if the instruction is a one, two or three parcel instruction. The parcel is then passed on to current instruction parcel register 20.
Current instruction parcel register 20 receives the parcel from register 18 and holds it until it issues. Issue of an instruction can be held for such things as resolution of an access to a shared register. Once issued it is executed by instruction execution unit 28.
Lower instruction parcel register 22 and lower instruction parcel 1 register 24 are used to hold the second and third parcels of an instruction, respectively, when applicable. The full instruction is then presented to instruction execution unit at instruction issue.
Interrupt generator 26 is used to cause an exception on encountering a privileged instruction while in user mode. In the preferred embodiment, parcels that begin with a binary opcode of 0000001XXXXXXYYY (where any one of the X is non-zero and Y is don't care) or 0011011YYYYYYYYY (where Y is don't care) will generate a privileged instruction interrupt. Exception handling software in the monitor mode software determines the nature of the interrupt and, on determining it is a privileged instruction interrupt, it mimics the effect of execution of that privileged instruction. This is a powerful tool that permits the testing of new operating system software in the more forgiving environment of user mode.
When the privileged instruction interrupt is enabled, executing a privileged instruction in user mode generates an exchange. The privileged instructions act like an error exit or a normal exit instruction. If a privileged instruction enters NIP (Next Instruction Parcel) register 18, then an interrupt flag is generated which instructs the processor that an exchange must take place.
The interrupt flag will shut down the instruction stream so that no other instructions get into NIP 18 by holding P register 16. The processor then sets up to do an exchange. The privileged instruction that had entered NIP 18 will go into CIP 20 and be executed as a NO-OP because of user mode. Following this, the exchange takes place.
The exchange brings in the operating system. Once the privileged instruction was issued out of CIP 20, the processor set a flag in the exchange package that tells the operating system that a privileged instruction had issued in interrupt mode and that this is why the exchange occurred. In this fashion, when the exchange takes place, P register 16 is pointing at the instruction after the privileged instruction.
The operating system decrements P register 16 in order to find the location of the privileged instruction. It then looks at the instruction, branches to a subroutine written to emulate the instruction and initiates an exchange back to the original calling program. The privileged instruction interrupt can be masked by clearing a bit in one of the operating registers that make up the exchange package. In FIG. 1, mode select 30 is that operating register. Clearing a bit in mode select 30 disables the privileged instruction interrupt. Subsequent privileged instructions are treated like no-operation (NOP) instructions in user mode as in the Y-MP above.
The preferred embodiment of the exchange package for the present invention is shown in FIG. 2. Exchange package 50 is a 16-word block of data in memory associated with a particular computer program. Exchange package 50 contains the basic parameters necessary to provide continuity when a program stops and restarts from one section of the program to the next. The exchange package also holds the contents of the address (A) and scalar (S) registers. The address and scalar registers, along with the exchange package used in the present invention are described in more detail in U.S. patent application No. 07/618,748 filed Nov. 27, 1990, entitled "Vector Shift By `Vo Shift Count in Vector Supercomputer Processor", which application is incorporated herein by reference. Table 1 describes the bit assignments for the interrupt modes, flags, status, and mode ("MM"=monitor mode).

In the preferred embodiment, processor 10 is a vector processor for use in a multiprocessor vector supercomputer. FIGS. 3A and 3B are simplified block diagrams of a vector processor 60. The preferred embodiment is a multiprocessing system with sixteen processors. However it should be obvious that the present invention is independent of the number of processors.
FIGS. 4A and 4B are more detailed block diagrams of the same processor 60. Each processor 60 contains eight vector registers V0-V7. The vector registers V0-V7 each contain 128 words, each word consisting of 64 bits. For example, vector register V0 contains words V00 -V0127. The vector registers are interfaced to functional units which perform various logical and arithmetic functions on data from the vector registers. The functional units are fully segmented with latches so that operands can be sent to a functional unit on successive clock periods. Therefore, during the execution of an instruction, each part of a functional unit may be operating on a different operand. Also, each functional unit may operate independent of the other functional units so that more than one result may be obtained from the functional units for each clock period.
When exchange package 50 (as shown in FIG. 2) is transferred from shared memory 12 to a processor 60, exchange package 50 is broken up and the portions are saved in different storage areas of processor 60. Bits 32-63 of words 0-7 are stored in exchange parameter registers 74 (shown in FIG. 3B). Bits 0-31 of words 0-7, are stored in A registers 72 (as shown in FIG. 3A and 4B). Finally, the remaining words 10-17 are stored in S registers 70 (as shown in FIGS. 3A and 4A).
To use the present invention, one would set the privileged instruction mask bit in the exchange package to enable the privileged instruction interrupt. The new operating system software would be loaded in memory and an exchange sequence initiated that starts the new operating system program in user mode. At each occurrence of a privileged instruction in the operating system under test an interrupt would be generated that causes an exchange to the current operating system. Exception handling software would then determine the source of the interrupt and the code to be executed that would provide a state similar to the execution of the privileged instruction. For example, in the preferred embodiment, the instruction used to set up an I/O channel is a privileged instruction. If, in testing the new operating system, it should become necessary to set up an I/O channel, the I/O channel privileged instruction will be issued. This will result in an interrupt and an exchange into monitor mode. Once in monitor mode, the real operating system will, with its knowledge of the current state of the machine, assign an I/O channel by issuing a privileged instruction. The operating system will then clear the interrupt and perform an exchange back into the operating system under test in user mode. Unlike the trace mode, exceptions are encountered rarely so there is little difference in system performance. And, unlike a typical TRAP instruction, traps are performed on code that is an integral part of the final software. The TRAP locations do not have to be rewritten to remove the test points.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Jay-Z and David Ortiz settle some dispute none of us knew about
Mar 29, 2011, 9:12 AM EDT
From the "yeah, I know, but Opening Day is still two days away so fixating on this silly b.s. seems like fun" department:
Jay-Z has a club in New York called 40/40. David Ortiz allegedly visited it, liked it and opened up his own club called 40/40 in the Dominican Republic. This led to some acrimony between the two of them, and Jay-Z sued Big Papi for $5 million. According to the New York Daily News, however, they've settled their differences over the matter:
The two were set to square off Tuesday in Manhattan Federal Court over use of the name 40/40, but the conference was cancelled at the last minute, the hip-hop giant's lawyer said.
"The case has been settled in principle," said attorney Peter Raymond. "We have agreed on the outlines of a settlement and need to reduce it to writing."
In other words, it's safe to say that Jay-Z now only has 98 problems.

- bobwsc - Mar 29, 2011 at 10:10 AM
pretty dumb; he's either flat-out ripping Jay-Z off, or he's trying to imply he's a 40 homer / 40 stolen base guy. while the former has happened, I don't think he has 40 career stolen bases, let alone single season. Jose Canseco is probaby getting ready to sue them both.

Wonder if Ortiz could bust a grape in a fruit fight without the juice….
- florida727 - Mar 29, 2011 at 12:46 PM
I wish a lawyer would weigh-in and comment on the legality of a "business" being named something in the USA and how it pertains to a similar business being named the same IN ANOTHER COUNTRY. Just because you come up with a catchy name in America, does that bar (no pun intended) someone in another country from using the same name? Is the DR governed by USA laws?
- macjacmccoy - Mar 30, 2011 at 5:49 PM
yea I knew about this. Its years old. Something about copyright infringement and how Ortiz has no excuse of ignorance bc he was at Jayz club multiple times before he opened his club in the DR.
And to Florida yes it does apply if your advertising your club to americans and causing market place confusion by leading people to believe it is related to Jayz clubs. Especially since Ortiz' club is a s$%t hole and bc of that it revaules Jayz club by using the same name. There are international bussiness laws that protect companys for just these reasons.

Starring Jason Lee (of My Name Is Earl fame), Alvin and the Chipmunks mixes in live action and CGI chipmunks (Alvin, Simon and Theodore) in a story that sees that moved from their natural habitat into the midst of the big city. The plot then becomes as predictable as youd expect, but theres still plenty of fun to be had anyway.
For Alvin and the Chipmunks has plenty in its corner. Its funny, first and foremost, and moves along at a good pace, never forgetting that its prime job is to entertain its audience. And thats something it easily manages to do, wrapping everything up by remembering not to outstay its welcome, either.
Considering that Alvin and the Chipmunks enjoy a legion of fans that stretch back decades, its perhaps not a surprise after all that the film enjoyed the success it did. But whats pleasing is that the spirit of the source material, in spite of its contemporary setting, is adhered to, and theres fun for all in the end product. --Jon Foster

I think the MSI drivers are bad (44.03) when I install them a) my system hangs if I go to control panel->display or system for like 1-2 minutes and b) the light on my second monitor goes orange (idle?)If I use nView to make 1 big desktop same thing but the system thinks it's in dual monitor mode, so when I try to shutdown, the restart button is on the second monitor (off) If I go to where the button should be and click, it shuts down. MSI tech support are (bozos hung up on me) sayong htere are no known issues but I dont think they know wtf they are talking about. Are there any drivers that will work with dual monitors or do I have to take this back and get a Matrox card. I am using this for audio (2D). I have dual if I use the WinXP vga driver, but cant extend desktop. I have installed and uninstalled ad nausem, no IRQ conflicts. Can anybody help me here?

America's Responsibility
From the September 15, 2003 issue: Should the administration place all its bets on being able to find tens of thousands of foreign forces to fill the dangerous gap in Iraq?
Sep 15, 2003, Vol. 9, No. 01 • By ROBERT KAGAN and WILLIAM KRISTOL
These efforts to shift responsibility onto others--regardless of whether they are ready, able, or willing--are wrong, and will in any case fail. The United States invaded Iraq, and did so for good reasons. It is the responsibility of the United States to build in Iraq a condition of security and stability, moving toward prosperity and democracy. Nor should we forget for a moment that the whole world is watching--especially Arabs and Muslims. Right now, a scant few months after the war, Washington already seems short of breath. This can only encourage our deadly enemies to escalate the pressure.
It is an illusion to imagine that this mess can be handed off to someone else and we can go on about our business. That option does not exist. The choices are stark: Either the United States does what it takes to succeed in Iraq, or we lose in Iraq. And if we lose, we will leave behind us not blue helmets but radicalism and chaos, a haven for terrorists, and a perception of American weakness and lack of resolve in the Middle East and reckless blundering around the world. That is the abyss we may be staring into if we do not shift course now.
We trust the president knows he cannot cut and run in Iraq. It is heartening that he has decided to send a large budget request for Iraq to Congress, though we fear he may actually have asked for too little in reconstruction funds. What we fear more, however, is that no amount of aid will suffice if Iraq remains insecure. The goal of a secure Iraq requires an unapologetic assertion of U.S. responsibility and a redoubling of U.S. effort--not clinging to illusions.
--Robert Kagan and William Kristol

New to acrylics
Hey people,
I've recently started to paint on real media, using acrylics. I have real-media experience only with colour pencils and pen/ink stuff, and some pastels. I have done a lot in painter the last months learning about color and such.
I'm now working with acrylics on both paper and MDF, but i SUCK! So i need to practice and get better. However it's discouraging and i'm temped to get back in my computer ;-)
What i would like to know is, how to translate skills from painter into the real world. I mean, which techniques can be translated and which cannot?
In painter i like to
- mix on the work (i.e. colorpick)
- use very low opacity brushes to work over the picture
- work from dark to light (which is not very traditional i think)
- work from back to foreground
- work with basic large shapes first then more details later
As i have found that mixing colors on a palette is difficult i now plan to use monochromes first. (B&W and other color ranges)
I'm not sure about the other 'techniques' -- i have a tendency to use very opaque paint in real media which i don't want. But that conflicts with dark-to-light.
Please help me out here!

I have used acrylics on and off for quite a few years . I find they are good for doing quick sketches and fast drying block ins to be overlayed with oils or pastel for further sculpting forms and detail. you prob want to get some medium like retarder (if u havent already), which will delay drying and allow you to rework and mix the paint for much longer, and flow control which thins the paint so it flows more smoothly across your canvas/board. make sure u have a well primed grounds too.

Hres mine thots about this:
1- I dont know how to colour pick from work
2- You need acrylic meidum, and water to make colour transparent. That is how you will imitate opacity.
3- Leonardo have that metod, And lot of classic painters have, but try to start from light blue or from brown. I noticed that back fill colour is always dominant.
4- You can make layers with some transparent plastic, and acryl is good to paint on plastic, but its bad to washing out, but you also can cut with paper knife...
5- i think old greeks are painting this way. Onley that is better with some longer dryer medium, or you can use more opacity colour.
Maybe it is hard at beggining, but you will see good sides of classics, like extra large paintings, cool day light relax you, You dont have to zoom in or out, brush moves, witch cannot been imitated with best wacom table.
Dont use yust acrylic, use tempera, watercolours, ink...

Hi Erik
I just wqanted to add:
1 - Maybe take a piece of cardboard and cut a hole in it, place it over the area U want to "colorpick" and mix beside the hole on the cardboard until the new mix and the color seen through the hole is looking right.
But in real life I think U eventually learn hoiw to mix.
I would recommend that U maybe for example take a look in the Book Färg (color?) by sisefsky for learning a bit about mixing.
Real life and computorcolors ara made up by two totally different processes - additive and subtractive (I never can seem to remeber which is which thoug...). I dunno maybe painter imitates real life way of blending colors.
Im a lazy sod - I mix my favourites in cans...
2 - nuff said
3 - yeah, "smudge" painting with layers and highlights - U could start from green, red, blue or brownish
However, as I remember this is mostly done with temperapainting. Im not entirely sue that acrylics is suitable for this.
And in real life theres always trouble getting the lighter paint to cover the darker ones.
4 - probably a good idea but even better is maybe to work on everything all the time to get a whole of the thing
5 - nuff
6 - color is hard - but U could always sketch the thing in small thumbnail colorskteches first - -that helps.
Keep it up!

Hello! Thanks for stopping by and taking the...
Hello! Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read my profile. I enjoy the simple pleasures of life, and my priorities can be summed up in a short list that includes my son, family, laughter, happiness, and music. I have been told that I am fun, reasonable, genuine, affectionate, warm, romantic, and loyal (whoah, get over yourself guy). I can be sarcastic and cynical at times, but deep down I really do believe in the good in life. It has taken me a long time, but I've finally accepted the law of attraction as a universal truth. Therefore, in addition to all of the "must haves" pertaining to a person's character, core values, and integrity that go without saying, I'm looking for a woman who gravitates towards positivity. A cute smile and a warm/outgoing personality go a long way with me! Dating has always been fun and easy, and I hope to find people who share this same approach. In addition to the initial chemistry, I'm looking to make a connection based on mutual understanding/respect, friendship, and fun with someone who is mindful of being happy in the moment. Everything else after that will fall into place. Cheers!
