Hi Everyone,
First post. Having a hard time with this painting of my parents (I have a BFA but am not a professional artist. Just do it for fun.) I would really like to fix this painting so that my father's eyes are looking at the viewer. I have repainted several times with no success. In the original source material he was looking to the left. I need a fresh pair of eyes (pun completely intended) to guide me to make adjustments to the pupils.
You are working with acrylics, so you can play around with this. If I were working on this, on both eyes I would take out the highlight and colour in the eye with the eye colour and the dark centre of the eye - then I would try a tiny dot of white right on the top edge of the dark, sort of centred but toward his right ear side, you should still see the colour of the iris, and do the same with the left eye, centred but toward his nose - much like your mother's left eye. Then try a tiny smudge of white from the dark edge, diagonal to the top dot, and to the outer edge of the iris. You can darken this white with iris colour a bit if it's too stark. If it does nothing for you, you could make it a dot by colouring in the iris. Now with the left - you could try a very as in VERY tiny dot on the edge between the dark and the iris, (on the diagonal to the top highlight - centred but toward the ear) should you smudge this, I don't know - you could try, and if it doesn't work, colour the iris in again leaving a dot. I would darken your mothers highlight on her right eye a little bit to resemble the highlight on her left eye. You could try putting a small dot of white on the whites on the eyes next to the iris. Also, because the eye is moist, you could try very, very small highlight on the eyelids right under the iris at the bottom of the eye, but be careful with this, you want just a subtle glistening. You might try googling eyes and look at some pictures of eyes and notice the highlights on eyes that are facing you. Wishing you well on your project.
Thank you! I will definitely try this out tonight.
Hi Lindsey, Did you achieve what you wanted yet? I'm new to this forum, so just found your question. In the photo you submitted, the eye on the viewer's right is looking at us, but the one on the left is crossing it a little. When the subject is facing forward, the irises should be the same size, and the white shapes on both sides should be the same shape and size. In the photo, there is more white to the left of the eye on the left, than there is next to the eye on the right.
Beyond the eyes: you did very nice modeling of the forms of your dad's forehead, cheeks and lips. I don't see modeling on his 'muzzle' below the lower lip. Also your mom's face needs more modeling/shading.
Nice job!

This looks nice! It seems as though your father "feels" to be looking away due to the darker coloring around the right iris, not present on the left, so it's making it seem as though it's looking further to the right than the other eye? Also it may help if the highlight was moved from the center of the pupil and a tad further off the pupil just bit, it might help it seem more like he is looking directly at the viewer.. awesome highlights and shadowing in the top half of the face, but I agree with previous comment, you may want to add more contouring etc to the bottom portion of the face/ beard area. Experimenting with facial hair, I've experienced adding highlights to the hair in the areas you want to "pop" out, like the chin, helps but hair has always been tough for me. Great job though it is looking good.

Neuroticism Hard Work Day Better manager Work hard Learn 7 Pay attention Take notes theories Good exam grade Agree or Disagree? • "Managers should do everything they can to enhance the job satisfaction of their employees." • It doesn't matter how employees say they feel about their employers. What matters is whether they have better options out there." • "Part of the meaning of life is to have highs and lows. A life that was constantly happy was not a good life." Job Satisfaction • Job satisfaction is a pleasurable emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one's job or job experiences. – It represents how you feel about your job and what you think about your job. – 49 percent of Americans are satisfied with their jobs, down from 58 percent a decade ago. Value-Percept Theory • Value-percept theory argues that job satisfaction depends on whether you perceive that your job supplies the things that you value. • People evaluate job satisfaction according to specific "facets" of the job. Dissatisfaction = (Vwant - Vhave) X (Vimportance) – Vwant reflects how much of a value an employee wants – Vhave indicates how much of that value the job supplies – Vimportance reflects how important the value is to the employee The Value- Percept Theory of Job Satisfaction Value-Percept Theory, Cont'd • Pay satisfaction refers to employees' feelings about their pay, including whether it is as much as they deserve, secure, and adequate for both normal expenses and luxury items. • Promotion satisfaction refers to employees' feelings about the company's promotion policies and their execution, including whether promotions are frequent, fair, and based on ability. • Supervision satisfaction reflects employees' feelings about their boss, including whether the boss is competent, polite, and a good communicator. • Coworker satisfaction refers to employees' feelings about their fellow employees, including whether coworkers are smart, responsible, helpful, fun, and interesting as opposed to lazy, gossipy, unpleasant, and boring. • Satisfaction with the work itself reflects employees' feelings about their actual work tasks, including whether those tasks are challenging, interesting, respected, and make use of key skills rather than being dull, repetitive, and uncomfortable. How Satisfied are You? Population MGMT 300 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Work Itself Pay Promotion Supervision Coworkers How Satisfied are You? Men Women 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 Promotion Work Itself Correlations Between Satisfaction Facets and Overall Job Satisfaction Critical Psychological States • Meaningfulness of work reflects the degree to which work tasks are viewed as something that "counts" in the employee's system of philosophies and beliefs. • Responsibility for outcomes captures the degree to which employees feel that they are key drivers of the quality of the unit's work. • Knowledge of results reflects the extent to which employees know how well (or how poorly) they are doing. What type of tasks create these psychological states? Job Characteristics Theory Identifies five job characteristics and their 1. Skill variety relationship to personal and work outcomes 2. Task identity Which characteristic did 3. Task significance Adam Grant study? 4. Autonomy Could task significance 5. Feedback make a difference at your job? Emotions and Moods Affect A broad range of emotions that people experience Emotions Moods Intense feelings that are Feelings that tend to directed at someone or be less intense than something emotions and that lack a contextual stimulus Moods and Emotions, Cont'd • Emotional labor is the need Low cognitive demands High cognitive demands to manage emotions to complete job duties $25.00 successfully. $20.00 $19.26 Hourly pay $15.57 $15.00 • Emotional contagion shows that one person can $10.00 $9.93 "catch" or "be infected by" $5.00 $5.57 the emotions of another $0.00 person Low High Emotional labor demands Life Satisfaction • Job satisfaction is strongly related to life satisfaction, or the degree to which employees feel a sense of happiness with their lives. – People feel better about their lives when they feel better about their jobs – Increases in job satisfaction have a stronger impact on life satisfaction than do increases in salary or income How Important is Satisfaction? • Job satisfaction does influence job performance. – It is moderately correlated with task performance. Satisfied employees do a better job of fulfilling the duties described in their job descriptions. • Job satisfaction is correlated moderately with citizenship behavior. – Satisfied employees engage in more frequent "extra mile" behaviors to help their coworkers and their organization. • Job satisfaction influences organizational commitment. – Job satisfaction is strongly correlated with affective commitment, so satisfied employees are more likely to want to stay with the organization. Tracking Satisfaction Levels • Several methods assess the job satisfaction of rank-and-file employees, including focus groups, interviews, and attitude surveys. – Attitude surveys are often the most accurate and most effective. • Job Descriptive Index (JDI) – Attitude surveys ideally should be a catalyst for some kind of improvement effort. • An organization that struggles with satisfaction with the work itself could attempt to redesign key job tasks or, if that proves too costly, train supervisors in strategies for increasing the five core job characteristics on a more informal basis. Patagonia • What four factors account for the high levels of job satisfaction at Patagonia? • How do these relate to the material we talked about today? Word Creation Exercise • Carefully read the instructions on the cover page. • DO NOT TURN THE PAGE UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO! MGMT 300: Leadership and Organizational Behavior Motivation Michael D. Johnson, PhD Assistant Professor January 28, 2009 Motivation • Person's level of performance is a function (f) of ability, motivation, and opportunity: Performance = f (Ability x Motivation x Opportunity) What is Motivation? • Motivation is defined as a set of energetic forces that originates both within and outside an employee, initiates work-related effort, and determines its direction, intensity, and persistence. Direction Intensity Persistence Expectancy Theory • Expectancy theory describes the cognitive process that employees go through to make choices among different voluntary responses. – Employee behavior is directed toward pleasure and away from pain or, more generally, toward certain outcomes and away from others. Expectancy Theory Motivational Force = Effort E Performance I1 Outcome 1 V1 I2 E = Expectancy = Subjective I3 Outcome 2 V2 probability that effort will lead to Outcome 3 V3 performance I = Instrumentality = Subjective probability that performance will lead to various outcomes V = Valence = Expected satisfaction with each outcome Motivational Force = E C S(I C V) Cognitive Evaluation Theory Providing an extrinsic reward for behavior that had been previously only intrinsically rewarding tends to decrease the overall level of motivation The theory may be relevant only to jobs that are neither extremely dull nor extremely interesting. Hint: For this theory, think about how fun it is to read in the summer, but once reading is assigned to you for a grade, you don't want to do it! Goal Setting Theory • Goal setting theory views goals as the primary drivers of the intensity and persistence of effort. – Assigning employees specific and difficult goals will result in higher levels of performance. What is a difficult goal? Goal Difficulty and Task Performance Goal Setting Theory, Cont'd • Moderators on Task Performance – Feedback consists of updates on employee progress toward goal attainment. – Task complexity reflects how complicated the information and actions involved in a task are, as well as how much the task changes. – Goal commitment is defined as the degree to which a person accepts a goal and is determined to try to reach it. Strategies for Fostering Goal Commitment What Is MBO? Management by Objectives (MBO) A program that encompasses specific goals, participatively set, for an explicit time period, with feedback on goal progress Key Elements 1. Goal specificity 2. Participative decision making 3. An explicit time period 4. Performance feedback Self-Efficacy •An individual's feeling that s/he can complete a task (e.g. "I know I can!") •Enhances probability that goals will be achieved Not to be confused with: Self-esteem, which is: Individuals' degree of liking or disliking themselves Increasing Self-efficacy 1. Enactive Mastery 2. Vicarious Modeling 3. Verbal Persuasion 4. Arousal Note: Basic Premise/Mechanism of Pygmalion and Galatea Effects Enactive Mastery • Financial simulation with MBA students • Four conditions of false feedback: –Bad at first, but steadily increasing –Bad and stayed bad –Good at first, but steadily decreasing –Good and stayed good • Which condition performed best overall? Why? Equity Theory • Equity theory acknowledges that motivation doesn't just depend on your own beliefs and circumstances but also on what happens to other people. – Employees create a "mental ledger" of the outcomes (or rewards) they get from their job duties. • You compare your ratio of outcomes and inputs to the ratio of some comparison other — some person who seems to provide an intuitive frame of reference for judging equity. • "Cognitive calculus" – Ratio of outcomes to inputs is balanced between you and your comparison other. Some Outcomes and Inputs Considered by Equity Theory Equity Theory My Outcomes Other's Outcomes IF = \ My Inputs Other's Inputs Employees may: – Increase or decrease inputs – Change their outcomes – Distort their perceptions of inputs and/or outcomes – Distort perceptions of other's inputs and/or outcomes – Change the referent others – Leave the organization How Important is Motivation? • Strongest performance effect is self-efficacy / competence; people who feel a sense of internal self-confidence tend to outperform those who doubt their capabilities. • Difficult goals are the second most powerful motivating force. • The motivational force created by high levels of valence, instrumentality, and expectancy is the next most powerful motivational variable for task performance. • Perceptions of equity have a somewhat weaker effect on task performance. The Emperor's Club • What motivation theory explains Mr. Hundert's decision to leave the school? Designing Compensation Systems • Do the elements provide difficult and specific goals for channeling work effort? – Lump sum bonuses and gainsharing have been credited with improvements in employee productivity. • Consider the correspondence between individual performance levels and individual monetary outcomes. • Merit pay represents the most common element of organizational compensation plans. Compensation Plan Elements ELEMENT DESCRIPTION Individual-Focused Piece-Rate A specified rate is paid for each unit produced, each unit sold, or each service provided. Merit Pay An increase to base salary is made in accordance with performance evaluation ratings. Lump-Sum Bonuses A bonus is received for meeting individual goals but no change is made to base salary. The potential bonus represents "at risk" pay that must be re-earned each year. Base salary may be lower in cases in which potential bonuses may be large. Recognition Awards Tangible awards (gift cards, merchandise, trips, special events, time off, plaques) or intangible awards (praise) are given on an impromptu basis to recognize achievement. Compensation Plan Elements, Cont'd ELEMENT DESCRIPTION Unit-Focused Gainsharing A bonus is received for meeting unit goals (department goals, plant goals, business unit goals) for criteria controllable by employees (labor costs, use of materials, quality). No change is made to base salary. The potential bonus represents "at risk" pay that must be re-earned each year. Base salary may be lower in cases in which potential bonuses may be large. Organization-Focused Profit Sharing A bonus is received when the publicly reported earnings of a company exceed some minimum level, with the magnitude of the bonus contingent on the magnitude of the profits. No change is made to base salary. The potential bonus represents "at risk" pay that must be re-earned each year. Base salary may be lower in cases in which potential bonuses may be large.

Some key members of the national Industry Leaders Group – which includes Canada's largest real estate companies – are exploring the possibility of creating a national IDX broker data exchange system to share MLS listings with each others' websites. Royal LePage, Century 21 Canada and Re/Max Ontario-Atlantic Canada are leading the discussions, which have involved CREA, local boards and brokerages, as well as conversations with Coldwell Banker Canada and Re/Max of Western Canada.
"Presuming this moves ahead, it will be a permission-based model whereby we'll go out to our network's members and ask, would you like to participate?" says Phil Soper, president and CEO of Brookfield Real Estate Services, Royal LePage's parent company. "If the broker opts in, we'll manage the process and on royallepage.ca you'll see that broker's listings plus all the listings of other brokerages in that trading area which are participating in the local IDX. It's simply a roll-up of local IDXs."
Soper says the concept being discussed is a natural evolution of the reciprocity decisions already being made by brokerages and boards across the country. Soper cites as an example the IDX data exchange system pioneered by the London and St. Thomas Real Estate Board several years ago. "Our brokers have been doing this for years, with a great deal of satisfaction, through their local IDX," says Soper. "That's what we're talking about here – a national IDX."
He says that sharing of corporate listings won't be limited to the largest real estate firms. "It was always envisioned to be available for anyone who wanted to participate," he says, adding that "a lot of people have had input outside of the largest national companies – we've simply been a steering group."
The next steps involve further discussions with CREA. The group is hoping that they can populate their shared listings service by using the existing data feeds that local boards send to CREA to appear on the national association's Realtor.ca website. Another option would be to work with individual boards across the country. The shared listings service would be based on the MLS rules already in place at the local board level and would not entail any additional cost to participants.
Regarding negotiations currently underway between CREA and the Competition Bureau to resolve the bureau's concerns about MLS access rules, Soper says any shared listings system the real estate companies develop will be in full compliance with whatever resolution is finally reached.
"If the Competition Bureau's actions result in some fundamental changes to the way organized real estate operates in Canada, we are organized real estate, so we will comply and change, along with everyone else in the industry," he says.

Slowmo Showdown is a slow-motion dueling game for Microsoft Kinect. Set in a punk Sci-fi action trope world to the beat of pulsating electronic music, players fight each other by shooting laser beams from their palms and dodge the attacks in true Matrix style.
Each game is a short round of dueling between two procedurally generated characters. When a round is over another duel starts. That's it! Physical games for motion controls shouldn't be more elaborate.
A Kinect Game Done Right
Player's true body position is tracked and matters in the game: crouch, stretch, stand on one leg or do cool poses in order to evade attacks. The "depth" of Slowmo Showdown does not stem from complicated gestures or special combos but from the sheer physicality of balance, movement and shooting. Experienced players can make "curve" shots by manipulating angular velocity by their shooting hand.
The Social Context
Slowmo Showdown is designed for social contexts. The spectacle the players are creating, their act and performance is just as important as the action on screen. Jumping in and out of games is easy and barrier less. Players can hot-join any single player game and exit again if they want to without breaking the flow of the game. These qualities and the musical dancelike experience make the game ideal for party settings.
Badass Style
The universe, visual design and music score underline a thick unique style of the game. The keywords is badass, and the elements are presented "just enough" to let the players and the audience fill in the blanks. The gameplay is closely orchestrated to the action packed slow motion feel of dubstep music. Players co-create the soundtrack where every shot, dodge, and hit is part of the rhythmic experience.

INDIAN LAND – An Indian Land man is accused of killing his stepfather and then holding authorities at bay in a four-hour standoff Friday night.
James Pruitt, 52, of 11215 McAlpine Circle, shot himself after killing his stepfather, Robert Bethea, 74, authorities say.
Pruitt was listed in critical condition in a Charlotte hospital Saturday afternoon.
"He may make it," Sheriff Barry Faile said.
The Lancaster County Sheriff's Office planned to obtain warrants Saturday afternoon to charge Pruitt with murder in the death of Bethea.
Arthur K. Benjamin was greeted with raucous applause and loud cheers when he entered the A.R. Rucker Middle School gymnasium Thursday afternoon.
Benjamin, an assistant principal, thought the event was a pep rally. But Benjamin, who is called "Mr. Ben" by students and many others, quickly realized the assembly was in his honor.
Benjamin is retiring this year after working in education for more than 43 years. Several of his former principals and other coworkers came out Thursday to congratulate him and wish him well.
The Lancaster County School District is monitoring reports of the swine flu after two schools in the state have been closed.
Lab results released Thursday confirmed that 13 South Carolinians have the swine flu virus. The lab results were announced by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The 13 people who have the virus are all associated in some way with a recent school trip to Mexico, according to a S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control press release.
The trip was sponsored by Newberry Academy in Newberry.
As NASCAR fans gear up for the Southern 500 in Darlington this weekend, there will be a race of a different sort on Saturday.
That's when Cub Scouts from Lancaster and Chester counties gather for their District Pinewood Derby.
In the derby, Cub Scouts race miniature cars they build from wood. The cars are made from kits containing a block of pine, plastic wheels and metal axles.
Parents usually help their sons build the cars.
No one was hurt in a two-vehicle accident Tuesday morning involving a Carolina Christian Academy bus headed for Columbia.
The bus was traveling south on S.C. 200 when it struck a 2000 Chevrolet van in the rear, said Lance Cpl. Jeff Gaskin of the S.C. Highway Patrol.
The van, also heading south, was stopped in traffic when the collision occurred about 8:30 a.m. near Beckham Lane.
The bus driver, John Waddington of Lancaster, was charged with driving too fast for conditions – wet road, Gaskin said.
KERSHAW – Four people filed for office during the first day of filing for a special election in Kershaw.
Wayne Rhodes, who has served on Kershaw Town Council before, and Pam Johnson have each filed to run for mayor.
Genny Hendrix, who has served on council before, and Sonya Poole, have filed to run for the at-large seat. No candidates have signed up for the vacant District 2 seat, Town Administrator Tony Starnes said.

INDIAN LAND – The Indian Land man authorities say killed his stepfather last week has died.
James Pruitt, 52, died at 5:48 a.m. Wednesday at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile said.
The sheriff's office had been planning to charge Pruitt with murder in the May 1 shooting death of Robert Bethea, 74.
Authorities came to Bethea's McAlpine Circle home to find Bethea on the ground and Pruitt holed up inside an outbuilding.
Bethea and Pruitt had lived on the same property, Faile said.
If you pay attention to your cash register receipts, you probably noticed that Lancaster County's sales tax just went up.
The sales tax increased by a penny on Friday to 7 cents per dollar.
The extra penny tax was approved by county voters in a referendum in November. It will be used to pay the bonds on the county's proposed new courthouse, which is expected to cost about $33 million. The tax is on top of the state's normal 5 percent sales tax and the county's 1 percent local-option sales tax.
Don't panic! Although the swine flu has spread quickly in Mexico and there are now confirmed cases in most U.S. states, it would be easy to work yourself up and get very anxious about this outbreak. But should you?

Midtown Greenway
Yeah, it's only two and a half miles long, and yeah, its completion was delayed three years. But when the Midtown Greenway finally opened in August, Minneapolis bicyclists had something to shout about: a safe, quick alternative to risking life and limb on busy, east-west roads like Lake Street. Not only that, the greenway created the crucial link in a network of trails that gives bicyclists a smog-and-traffic-free ride between the downtown core, the lake district, and the western suburbs. The decision to route the greenway along a stretch of railroad track was inspired, both for practical and aesthetic reasons. Because most of the old railroad tracks were constructed below or above street level, bicyclists on the greenway only have to contend with three stop signs. In addition, the trail offers some lovely vistas, most notably the splendid view you get when crossing the channel between Lake Calhoun and Lake of the Isles. Like the best public-works projects, the Midtown Greenway will only improve over time. If all goes as planned, the eastern leg of the greenway should be completed by 2003, which means you'll be able to ride your bike from Uptown to the Mississippi River without having to slow down to curse those damnable motorists.

Asus Qube with Google TV
January 8, 2013 in Features, Hardware by TK
Looks like Asus is jumping head in with their version of Google TV with the Asus Qube. Looking very "All Spark"-ish this stealthy box is what houses the internals for their Google TV. It's currently running a Marvell Armada chipset with 1 GB of RAM and 4GB of storage space. Not a lot of space but you do or will get 50GB of cloud storage provided by Asus. The remote control is also pretty niffy in that on one side it holds your typical remote control buttons and on the other side it sports a qwerty.
Pricing is expected to fall somewhere around $150-$250 range and will be shipping sometime in Q2.

This is a division of copending application Ser. No. 08/261,515, filed Jun. 17, 1994.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to an improved method and apparatus for transmitting digital data at high speeds via a parallel data bus, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus that provides a cost effective short-haul interface for a wide variety of data transfer applications while eliminating precise bus length and system clock rates as a critical or limiting factor in system design.

As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, such factors as noise and loading limit the useful length of parallel busses operating at high data rates. In the prior art, the length of the bus must be taken into account in the system design and the bus length must be precisely as specified. Manufacturing tolerances associated with physical communication link (chips, cables, card wiring, connectors, etc.) and temperature and variations in power supply voltage also limit the data rates on prior art busses comprised of parallel conductors. Further, many prior art computer systems transfer data synchronously with respect to a processor clock, so that a change in processor clock rate may require a redesign of the data transfer bus.
An object of this invention is the provision of a cost effective bus data transfer system that can operate at high data transfer rates without tight control of the bus length, and without system clock constraints; a system in which the maximum bus length is limited only by the attenuation loss in the bus.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a general purpose, low cost, high performance, point to point data communication link where the width and speed of the interface can easily be modified to tailor it to specific bandwidth requirements and to specific implementation technologies, including VLSI technologies.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a bus data transfer system that operates a clock speed equal to the data rate or less than the data rate.
A more specific object of the invention is the provision of a system that adjusts the phase or arrival time of the incoming data on the receive side so it can be optimally sampled by the local receive clock, compensating for many of the manufacturing tolerances associated with the physical link (chip, cable, card wiring, connectors, etc.) as well as temperature changes and power supply output variations.
Briefly, this invention contemplates the provision of a self-timed interface (STI) in which a clock signal clocks bit serial data onto a parallel, electrically conductive bus and the clock signal is transmitted on a separate line of the bus. The received data on each line of the bus is individually phase aligned with the clock signal. The received clock signal is used to define boundary edges of a data bit cell individually for each line and the data on each line of the bus is individually phase adjusted so that, for example, a clock transition position is in the center of the data cell. The data is written into a buffer using the received link clock and then read out synchronously with the receiver system clock. At the data rates contemplated in the application of this invention, the propagation delay is significant. However, within limits, the bus length is not critical and is independent of the transmit and received system clock.
In one specified embodiment of the invention, data to be transmitted is transferred to a buffer synchronously with the transmitter system clock, which may or may not be the receiver system clock. A controller formats the data into packets for byte parallel, bit serial, transmission along with headers specifically coded to provide unique data patterns that allow for correction of skew of up to three bit cells in addition to the initial phase adjustment.
The foregoing and other objects, aspects and advantages will be better understood from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention with reference to the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is an overview block diagram illustrating the application of a self-timed interface, in accordance with the teachings of this invention, to data communication among computer chips.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating one embodiment of a transmitter serializer for implementing a self-timed interface in accordance with this invention.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating byte synchronization in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating the next step in the byte synchronization process.
FIG. 5 illustrates phase alignment and sampling logic in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention.
Referring now to FIG. 1 of the drawings, it illustrates one embodiment in which a self-timed interface in accordance with the teachings of this invention can be used. This exemplary embodiment of the self-timed interface provides data communications between two microprocessor chips, labeled here as Chip A and Chip B. However, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art, the self-timed interface of this invention is applicable to provide data transfer between a wide variety of components or nodes.
Chip A has a transmit port labeled 12A and Chip B has a transmit port labeled 12B. Similarly, Chips A and B have receive ports labeled 14A and 14B, respectively. The ports are connected by two self-timed interface busses 16; one for each transmission direction. In this exemplary embodiment of the invention, each bus 16 is one byte wide, and comprised of nine electrical conductors; eight conductors for data and one conductor for a clock signal.
Each transmit port (12A and 12B) includes a transmit logical macro 18 that provides a logical interface between the host logic and the self-timed interface link 16. Sync buffers 22 provide an interface between the host clock and the self-timed interface clock. This allows the self-timed interface link to run at a predetermined cycle time that is independent of the host clock, making the self-timed interface link independent of the host. An outbound physical macro 24 serializes a word-wide data flow into a byte-wide data flow that is transmitted along with the clock on the self-timed interface link 16.
Each receive port (i.e., 14A and 14B) includes an inbound physical macro 26 that first dynamically aligns each data bit with the self-timed interface clock signal. It aligns any bits with skew up to three bit cells and deserializies the bytes into words. A receive logical macro 28 provides an interface between the self-timed interface receiver logic and the host logic and generates link acknowledge signals and link reject signals, which are coupled by internal links 33 and transmitted back to the transmitting port via an outbound self-timed interface link 16. In order to compensate for variations in electrical path delay, the phase of the incoming data is adjusted, or self-timed. Each bit (line) is individually phase aligned to the transmitted reference clock and further aligned to compensate, within embodiment, for up to three bit cells of skew between any two data lines. The self-timing operation has three parts. The first is to acquire bit synchronization; the second is byte/word alignment; and the third is maintaining synchronization.
In acquiring bit synchronization, the link takes itself from a completely untimed state into synchronous operation. Any previous condition on the STI interface or logic is disregarded with a complete logic reset. The bit synchronization process can be rapidly established, for example on the order of 200 microseconds. The phase of the incoming data is manipulated on a per line basis until the data valid window or bit interval is located. This is accomplished using a phase detector that locates an average edge position on the incoming data relative to the local clock. Using two phase detectors one can locate two consecutive edges on data and these two consecutive edges define the bit interval or data valid window. The data to be sampled by the local clock is the phase of the data located halfway between the two edges of the data.
Byte alignment takes place by manipulating the serial data stream in whole bit times to properly adjust the byte position relative to a deserializer output. Referring now to FIG. 4, word alignment takes place next by manipulating the deserializer data four bit intervals at a time to ensure proper word synchronization on the STI interface. A timing sequence allows proper bit, byte and word synchronization.
Synchronization maintenance occurs as part of the link operation in response to temperature and power supply variations.
Referring now to FIG. 2, which illustrates one embodiment of a transmit serializer for a bit serial byte parallel interface used in the practice of the invention. Here a four byte wide data register 23 receives parallel inputs 25 (bytes 0, 1, 2 and 3 inputs shown here) and multiplexers 19 and 2:1 selector 27 multiplex the register output to a one byte wide output of off chip driver 15 coupled to a self-timed interface bus. Data is clocked from the register 23 by divide-by-two logic 12 whose input is self-timed interface clock signal on line 27. Bit zero from bytes 0, 1, 2 and 3 are serialized and transmitted on link 0 of the self-timed interface, shown here. Bit 1 from bytes 0, 1, 2 and 3 will be transmitted on link 1 (not shown) and so on.
To minimize the bandwidth requirements of the communication media the STI clock is one half the frequency of the transmitted data (baud) rate, i.e., a 75 Mhz clock will be used for a 150 Mbit/S data rate. The clock will be generated from an STI oscillator source, this is done to decouple the system or host clock from the STI link. The data will be transmitted with both edges of the clock.
Referring now to FIG. 3, assuming a bit synchronization process as described in connection with 5 has been completed, byte synchronization starts by coupling the phase aligned data (now 2 bits wide) into shift registers 33 whose outputs are coupled to multiplexer 35. Control inputs 37 to the multiplexer are used to deskew the particular data line from the other data lines by whole bit times. The deserializer data output for a particular data line is monitored for an expected timing pattern (e.g., X 0 1 0 where X is a don't care) to determine the proper order of the received data. If at any time a zero is detected in the bit 3 position, the multiplexer is incremented thus moving the byte boundary by one bit time. This process is repeated until the proper byte boundary is located. The multiplexer control wraps around from a binary 3 to a binary 0 in case the correct position was incorrectly passed through the previous time. This function allows synchronization of data lines skewed by more than an entire bit time.
Finally word alignment takes place. Referring now to FIG. 4, word alignment is established by manipulating the deserializer output bus four bits at a time until word synchronization is established. Note that the first register is shifted by four bit times relative to the second register. Four bit times is the maximum any data bit can be skewed relative to another data bit (3 bit times on link+1 bit time from phase alignment section).
As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, any of a number of circuits, such as a digital phase lock loop, can be used as the self-timer 52 to provide individual phase synchronization between the clock and the data. However, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the novel edge detector disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,487,095, and assigned to the assignee of this application, and incorporated herein by reference.
Referring now to FIG. 5, in this embodiment of the invention, the clock rate is the same as the data rate. The data edges that define a data window are each detected independently of the other and the data is sampled at the midpoint between the edges when the edges have been aligned with the clock. The position of the edges of incrementally separated phases of the input data stream are successively compared to the position of the rising and falling edges of the clock in order to locate the edges of the data stream with respect to both edges of the clock (e.g., the rising and falling edges).
The data phase pairs are generated in this specific embodiment of the invention by three incrementally selectable delay elements 80, 82, and 84. For example, the elements 80 and 82 provide delays, respectively, in 1/10th and 1/5th bit time increments and element 84 provides fine increments on the order of 1/20th of a bit time. The fine delay element 84 is separated into three groups to provide early edge detection, system data detection, and late edge detection. An early guard band selector 86 successively selects one phase of the data stream to provide an "early" phase of the incrementally separated phases--one for the rising edge and one for the falling edge. Similarly, a late guard band selector 90 successively selects one phase of the data stream to provide a "late" phase of the incremental phases--again one for the rising edge and one for the falling edge. A selector 88 selects incremental phases for the mid-cell system data position.
A selected data phase is coupled as an input to master-slave RES-FES latch pairs 92, 94, and 96. The rising edge data samples are clocked into the RES latches and the falling edge data samples are clocked into the FES latches. The outputs of the RES-FES latch pair 92 are connected to an early edge detector 98. Similarly, the outputs of the RES-FES latch pair 96 are coupled to a late edge detector 100. The RES latch of pair 94 is coupled to the early edge detector 98 and the FES latch of pair 94 is coupled to the late edge detector 100.
Each edge detector (98 and 100) outputs a "lead", a "lag" or a "do nothing" output which indicates the location of a data edge with respect to the reference clock edge location. The output of each edge detector is coupled via a suitable filter 102 (i.e., a random walk filter), back to its respective selector 86 and selector 90, respectively. The selectors shift the phase of the data coupled to the RES-FES latches in the direction indicated,l or if "do nothing" is indicated, the phase of the data at that edge is not shifted.
Data control logic 104 controls the system data output by selecting the phase of the data that is halfway between the two data edges when the data edges are aligned with the reference clock. A phase of the data (Data 1 and Data 2) is outputted at each reference clock edge.
In operation of a specific embodiment, at power on the logic will automatically begin the bit synchronization process. A 16 microsecond timer is started, the bulk delays are reset to their minimum delay and a 16 bit Counter running off the divided down clock is started. The edge detect circuitry will sample the incoming data with the received reference clock. The edge detector will output a "lead", a "lag" or a "do nothing" signal that indicates the data edge location relative to the reference clock. This signal is filtered by a Random Walk Filter (RWF) and fed-back to the selectors of their respective RES and FES circuits. The selectors shift the phase of the data into the RES and FES as indicated by the edge detector. Each edge detector Operates independently of the other. Each will locate the transitions on data relative to the received (ref) clock by manipulating the incoming phase of the data to the edge detector as described above. The phase of the system data is controlled by the data control logic which selects the phase of the data halfway between the two edge detectors. In parallel with the bit synchronization process, the order of bits out of the deserializer are manipulated to the correct order (see byte/word synchronization below). When the 16 microsecond timer trips the algorithm resets a deserializer error latch and restarts the 16 microsecond counter. The deserializer output is compared against the expected timing pattern (X 0 1 0 where X is a don't care). A single miscompare on any cycle during,the next 16 microseconds will set the deserializer error latch. When the 16 microsecond counter trips again the algorithm checks the addresses of the EGB, LGB, and data selectors, deserializer error latch. In order for a bit to end the initial bit synchronization search state, the deserializer output latch must have remained reset AND the all selectors must be properly centered in their tracking range (centering ensures that adjustments can be made to allow for the tracking of temp. and power supply variations after the initial bit synchronization process). If both conditions are not met then the algorithm adds a bulk delay element, resets the 16 microsecond counter and the search process begins once again. Each and every bit (data line) on the STI interface undergoes this process in parallel. Once an individual data line is determined to meet the initial bit synchronization criteria described above it is degated while the other lines continue to be adjusted. The bit synchronization process is complete once all bits are adjusted and meet the search criteria. The logic will not exit the bit synchronization mode until the 16 bit counter trips.
During normal operation the physical macro will continuously monitor the incoming data to ensure that the optimum clock sampling relationship exists. Small updates will be made to track temperature, power supply and data jitter. These updates will be seamless and transparent to the host logic. Approximately 1/2 a bit time of delay will be needed to compensate for temperature and power supply variations to maintain proper synchronization. This added delay is in the fine delay elements section. There is also circuitry to monitor the position of the guard bands relative to the allowable range of operation. If a guard band reaches the end of its range, two cases exists: 1) a new bulk delay element is added and the fine delay elements are adjusted accordingly. Note this can cause sampling errors in the data. The circuitry that makes these on the fly bulk adjustments can be inhibited so no on the fly bulk delay adjustments are made during normal operation. The second case exists when one of the guard bands reaches the end of its range and the on the fly bulk delay adjustment is inhibited, the physical macro will signal the logical STI macro that a bit synchronization is required soon. The link should finish the immediate work and force the link into timing mode.
While the invention has been described in terms of a single preferred embodiment, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. For example, while the invention has been illustrated with the data stream delayed relative to the clock, the same results can be obtained by generating multiple phases of the clock relative to the data stream.

(AP) BARCELONA, Spain - BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo stepped onto the Formula One podium for the first time in 55 attempts on Sunday after finishing a distant third behind both Mercedes cars at the Spanish Grand Prix.
In a weekend dominated by winner Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg, Red Bull drivers Ricciardo and Sebastian Vettel also had positive performances come race time.
Ricciardo defended his third-place start position after being passed by Valtteri Bottas of Williams seconds into the race. That made up for some of his frustration earlier this year when a second-place finish at his home Australian GP was erased after he was disqualified for a breach of fuel regulations.
"It's really nice to be on the podium and I'm sure I will get to keep this one," Ricciardo said from the winner's stand at the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit.
"I actually still feel a bit awkward up there, but I'm sure I will get more comfortable," he said. "Unfortunately we're not going to catch Mercedes. At least this weekend we weren't going to, so a lonely third was not a bad result in my mind."
Ricciardo was promoted from sister team Toro Rosso to replace Mark Webber as Vettel's driving partner this season. The 24-year-old Australian has made a strong debut by finishing ahead of the defending four-time champion in the last three races.
Vettel, meanwhile, rebounded from two days spoiled by his malfunctioning car by maneuvering from a 15th-place start to finish fourth.
"Daniel is thoroughly deserving of his first official podium having been faultless all weekend," Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said. "Sebastian, after a nightmare start to the weekend losing all of Friday, a gearbox failure on Saturday and a further five place grid penalty, produced a fantastic comeback drive to come back through the field."
Red Bull stayed in second place in the constructor's championship with 84 points, far behind Mercedes' 197.

Two rookie starters, right guard John Moffitt and right tackle James Carpenter, didn't have a normal offseason due to the lockout. Carpenter, Moffitt and left tackle Russell Okung finished the season on injured reserve, while left guard Robert Gallery never seemed to be fully healthy.

Entering the double digits doesn't mean an end to toys. Quite the opposite, in fact! Ten-year-olds still love to play and these delightful toys and activities will have them learning fascinating facts, making awesome discoveries and having lots of fun along the way.
By Rick Riordan
Though the Greek and Roman crew members of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her giants have risen—all of them—and they're stronger than ever. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have 2 demigods sacrificed in Athens. She needs their blood—the blood of Olympus—in order to wake.
Hardcover novel containing 528 pages.
At the conclusion of The Mark of Athena, Annabeth and Percy tumble into a pit leading straight to the Underworld. The other five demigods have to put aside their grief and follow Percy's instructions to find the mortal side of the Doors of Death. If they can fight their way through the Gaea's forces, and Percy and Annabeth can survive the House of Hades, then the Seven will be able to seal the Doors both sides and prevent the giants from raising Gaea. But, Leo wonders, if the Doors are sealed, how will Percy and Annabeth be able to escape?
They have no choice. If the demigods don't succeed, Gaea's armies will never die. They have no time. In about a month, the Romans will march on Camp Half-Blood. The stakes are higher than ever in this adventure that dives into the depths of Tartarus.
Hardcover novel containing 608 pages.
Discover the book that started it all - the first installment of Rick Riordan's New York Times #1 best-selling Kane Chronicles series!
Since their mother's death, Carter and Sadie have become near strangers. While Sadie has lived with her grandparents in London, her brother has traveled the world with their father, the brilliant Egyptologist, Dr. Julius Kane. One night, Dr. Kane brings the siblings together for a "research experiment" at the British Museum, where he hopes to set things right for his family. Instead, he unleashes the Egyptian god Set, who banishes him to oblivion and forces the children to flee for their lives.
Soon, Sadie and Carter discover that the gods of Egypt are waking, and the worst of them - Set - has his sights on the Kanes. To stop him, the siblings embark on a dangerous journey across the globe - a quest that brings them ever closer to the truth about their family and their links to a secret order that has existed since the time of the pharaohs.

Additional Information on Clos La Chance Cabernet Sauvignon Central Coast
Clos La Chance
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
For most of us, when we look for red wines in a wine store or supermarket, the name Cabernet Sauvignon stands out as a mark of quality and reliability. The same can be said for the way those who cultivate the grapevines see them, too, as part of the reason Cabernet Sauvignon varietal grapes have had so much success all over the world is due to their hardiness against frost, reliability in regards to yield and quality, and great resistance to rot. As such, Cabernet Sauvignon is a winemaker's dream of a grape, consistently delivering excellence alongside a few pleasant surprises. Despite the fact that the grape on its own in a young wine can often be a bit overpowering, too astringent and challenging for many tastes, it is the perfect grape varietal for blending and aging in oak. Such a truth has been displayed for centuries now in some of the finest wineries on earth, for whom Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are the grape which adds the punch to their world-beating blended wines.
Region: California
Since the 18th century, California has been a hugely important and influential wine region, acting as a trailblazer for other New World wine regions and utilizing an important blend of traditional and contemporary practices, methods and techniques relating to their wine production. Split into four key areas – the North Coast, the Central Coast, the South Coast and the Central Valley – Californian wineries make the most of their ideal climate and rich variety of terrains in order to produce a fascinating range of wines made with a long list of different fine grape varietals. Today, the state has almost half a million acres under vine, and is one of the world's largest wine exporters, with Californian wines being drunk and enjoyed all across the globe.
Country: United States
The first European settlers to consider growing grapevines in the United States must have been delighted when they discovered the now famous wine regions within California, Oregon and elsewhere. Not even in the Old World are there such fertile valleys, made ideal for vine cultivation by the blazing sunshine, long, hot summers and oceanic breezes. As such, it comes as little surprise that today more than eighty-nine percent of United States wines are grown in the valleys and on the mountainsides of California, where arguably some of the finest produce in the world is found. However, American wine does not begin and end with California, and due to the vast size of the country and the incredible range of terrains and climates found within the United States, there is probably no other country on earth which produces such a massive diversity of wines. From ice wines in the northern states, to sparkling wines, aromatized wines, fortified wines, reds, whites, rosés and more, the United States has endless surprises in store for lovers of New World wines.
Appellation: Central Coast
California's Central Coast has grown over the past century or so to become one of the United States' most important wine regions, producing an impressive amount of wines each year made from the vast array of grape varietals which thrive there. The hot Californian sunshine and brisk Pacific winds are ideal for growing the imported French and Italian grapes which typify the region, and the fertile soils of Central Coast help give these grape varietals their distinctive character, and big, bold, juicy flavors. By far the most popular varietals grown in Central Coast are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, but this region produces both red and white wines of exceptionally high quality, using the latest in viticultural techniques and technologies. The wineries of Central Coast are dedicated to raising their profile, and displaying to the world just how good their unique terroirs really are.

text: Thanks for the replies. D76 and ID-11 are virtually identical, so that route has been covered, maybe I'm expecting too much of an old-tech film. I shall experiment with box speeds and try some different developers. Curiously, I've had good results from Foma 100 in 120 format, but 4 x 5 doesn't seem to offer the tonality/grain progress one would expect.
