We visited Acqua on a Sunday evening at the end of May. The restaurant is a little crowded with tables, but that seems to be fairly typical with the restaurants along Amsterdam on the Upper West Side. The wait staff were quick but sort of abrupt, not the most polite staff in the world. We ordered two appetizers between four people and they brought them out 10 minutes apart! I did not like that, especially as the doors were open to the patio and food became chilled quite quickly so we couldn't wait around to enjoy the first appetizer while the other two people went hungry waiting for theirs. At the end of the meal it seemed like the staff were really rushing us by clearing plates almost as soon as the last bite was put in our mouths - but then they took forever to bring the bill! However - all of that was made okay when the food did come! Two of us had the spinach and ricotta ravioli, which was incredible. The fried artichoke hearts were very good as well. The others in the party had the Sardinian pasta and the veal scallopini - both were deemed excellent. Dessert was even better - I HIGHLY recommend the banana and nutella crepes. Delicious, and my Dad actually considered ordering another piece of mascarpone cheesecake to bring home with him, he liked it that much. All in all, if all you care about is the food, you will love this place.

I live very close and was excited to like this place. I have found the staff to be less than friendly and the food fair at best.

We just moved into the neighborhood and decided to try this place with our family. Everything was great - the service, the atmosphere, the timing of the food, the flavors, and the portions. The warm spinach salad is wonderful, and you'll think the same if you think of it more as a side than a salad (I think of salads as cold). The lasagna was perfect for me (hot out of the brick oven), my cousin said that the appetizer shrimp salad was great, and two people who got fish dishes really enjoyed them. Everyone really enjoyed the Bianca pizza (I didn't try it). We didn't have dessert. Overall it's a quaint, delicious, and reasonable Italian place. I'm glad we found it.

Wish I had tried this place earlier. A friend told us it wasn't good so we skipped it until now, 2 years later! Everything I tried was quite good, though the tiramisu was not quite my style (I like more amarreto flavor & fluffiness than cakiness). Pizza was even thinner than what I expected in a thin crust, but a bit bigger as well. Braciola Di Pollo was great, and the spinach side was also tasty. Prices very reasonable, and not as loud & cramped as some of the nearby Italian restaurants. Service was friendly and prompt.

We live about 200 feet from Acqua and we feel very lucky to have such a great neighborhood restaurant. The service is great, you can always get a table but yet its in high demand. Its great for a quick bite or a place to meet friends. There is always a good special or the regular dishes such as the veal vitello and the polenta that are great. For a real treat the lasagna. Service is always friendly and neighborly.

The pizza is like cardboard, the atmosphere crowded and noisy. Avoid

Have been coming here for the past year and really like it. The pasta is consistently very fresh and the wood burning pizza is great. Atmosphere is nice and have always had a great experience here!

On 30 January 2010, Fr. Johnny Go, School Director, received an email from the IBO (International Baccalaureate Organization) headquarters in Geneva informing him that Xavier School has been granted official authorization to offer the IB Diploma Programme next school year.
In the letter dated 6 January 2010, IBO's Director General, Jeffrey R. Beard congratulated the school for what he described as a "significant accomplishment." He welcomed Xavier School as an official IB World School in the growing IB community worldwide.
This authorization is a milestone in Xavier School history and is yet another testament to the quality of the Xavier Education. Known for innovations since its establishment in 1956, Xavier School has taken a significant step towards internationalization by offering this globally designed curriculum recognized by many leading universities all over the world.
In its initial years of implementation, the IB Diploma Program is envisioned to be an enriched program that benchmarks our students' performance against international standards. The program, which entails regular teacher training overseas, will involve a much desired shift to a more student-centered approach in the classroom. Its goal, after all, is to form a 21st-century learner who is disciplined, synthesizing, creative, respectful, and ethical. Moreover, the IB Learner Profile has also been found to be compatible with our very own profile of the Xavier Graduate at Graduation, as summarized by the 6 C's. For these reasons, Fr. Go believes that offering the Diploma Program is very much aligned to the vision of Xavier School and will raise the overall standards of the Xavier education, further enhancing the school's competitive edge.
The authorization was achieved after four years of careful study and hard work. It began three years ago when Fr. Go formed a committee to study the IB curriculum and its compatibility with the vision-mission of Xavier School. The committee, which was composed of Rosie Moscoso, Ditas Dairo, and Marc Hernandez (all former XS Principals), started its work last April 2007. After thorough research on the IB curriculum, visits of international schools in the Philippines, and interviews with their heads, the committee recommended that Xavier School apply for authorization to offer the Diploma Program, which was immediately approved by the Board of Trustees.
As part of the process of authorization, representatives from the IB Asia-Pacific (IBAP) Regional Office paid Xavier School two important visits last year: First, the Pre-Authorization Visit by the Regional Head of School Services, Mr. Nigel Forbes-Harper, last August 25; second, the Authorization Visit by Mr. Stephen Keegan Regional Manager for Diploma Programme for the IB Asia Pacific and Mr. Antony Mayrhofer DP Coordinator of St.Paul Grammar School, Sydney Australia last December 1 to 3. In both visits, Xavier School was assessed for its readiness to offer the program.
The Diploma Program offers a rigorous two-year pre-university curriculum designed especially for highly motivated third year and fourth year students. Initially, the Xavier IBDP program will offer the following subjects: English, Mandarin, Business and Management, Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry. Students have the option to enrol a subject as a higher level or a standard level course. Crucial to the curriculum are three unique IB core subjects:
• Theory of Knowledge (TOK): reflection on ways of knowing in the different disciplines and discussions of relevant knowledge issues;
• Creativity-Action-Service (CAS): extra-curricular experiences that include arts activities, athletics, and social service activities; and
• Extended Essay (EE): an independent research conducted by the student on a freely-chosen topic
Over and beyond the usual IB courses, the Xavier IB Programme also includes Christian Life Education and Filipino since these are two of the most important subjects that define the Xavier education.
In the next five years, Xavier School plans to expand the number of courses in the sciences, as well as in the humanities such as Psychology, History, Economics, including the Visual Arts and Music. In their discussions, the members of the school's Board of Trustees emphasized their desire to grant access to as many qualified Xavier students as possible. For this reason, Xavier School will be offering the most affordable IB Diploma Program in the country. As in the school's other special programs, scholarships and subsidies will be available and offered to deserving students who are in need.
Even prior to these IB efforts, Xavier has already been raising its standards by benchmarking internationally through the iPSLE (International Primary School Leaving Exam of Singapore) for the Grade School and the PSAT (Preliminary SAT of the US College Board) in the High School. Through other international standardized achievement exams, our students have been benchmarked with counterparts belonging to one grade higher, so that our third and fourth year students are really equivalent to Grade 11 and 12 students.
Over seventy applicants are currently undergoing screening for the program–most of whom are incoming third year students. DP Coordinator, Ms. Rosie Moscoso, and her assistant, Mr. Exxon Yu, are working alongside the High School Principal's Team in the selection process. The teachers who will be teaching the IB courses also underwent a careful screening process to ensure that our first batch of Xavier IB students will be entrusted to our most competent and dedicated faculty. The members of the first batch of Xavier IB students will be revealed before the school year ends.
We thank–and congratulate–the administrators and teachers who worked hard for this significant milestone in the history of Xavier School. We wish them all the best as they begin the hard work of launching Xavier School's first IB Diploma Program next school year. Luceat Lux!

Re: Todd Sucherman here!
Hey Todd, thank you! I guess I was asking more about modern Sonor vs. modern Pearl.
You are one of the first to basically spell out what I tell all my drum buddies, (who won't listen to me). The thinner shells, mic'd, will have to be WAY more tamed by the sound guy or whoever, because it's gonna "distort" with ovetones much quicker and more frequently with an ANNOYING/UN-USEABLE low end. They always end up having to muffle the crap out of them, and modify the settings.
The other thing about the really thin shells, is that all that buttery super low end is usually positioned so low that once the bassist and any somewhat low end guitar come in to the mix, you floor toms and kick are more part of that, and as a result, more transparent as being "the drums".

Thanks for sharing some really cool motocross shots. I am always amazed by how tough motocross is. It's funny people think street riding is dangerous. I have 3 of my street riding buddies that also motocross and off-road and all their wrecks and worst injuries have been from motocross or off-roading and not the street. Don't make sense but it seems that's the way it goes in my group.
Thanks again for sharing some amazing shots in your gallery!

The Elbert County Diamond Devils lost in their first region game on Tuesday, March 26 to the Franklin County Lions 4-2.
It was a tough fought battle between the two schools. Jacob Smith started off on the mound for the Diamond Devils and would pitch a good game. After allowing a runner on in the top of the 1st he would strike out the next three batters. The Devils would come up to bat and Brett Mills would reach on a walk and would be batted in by Blaze Bruce to take the Diamond Devils up 1-0.
The 2nd inning would be three up three down for each team and in the top of the 3rd Lions would tie up the game at 1 all.
From the 4th inning until the bottom of the 6th it would be a pitchers duel until Brett Mills would be hit by a pitch and again be batted in by Blaze Bruce to take the Devils up 2-1.
It was looking good for the Devils as Smith would strike out the first batter in the top of the 7th and the Lions would be down to their last two outs until Wesley Waters would hit a solo shot over the left field fence to tie up the game. Elbert would not be able to produce a run in the bottom of the 7th and the game would see an extra inning.
The Devils would give up 2 runs in the top of the 8th and not be able to produce as they would leave two runners stranded in the bottom of the 8th and the game would end with the Lions ahead 4-2. Blaze Bruce was named Tri-County College Technical Player of the game for his two RBIs.
The Diamond Devils will have a shot at redemption Wednesday, March 27 in Franklin County today at 5:55. You can hear that game aired live on 1400AM and 96.5FM the Voice of Elberton.

Mining Publication: A Comparison of Longwall & Continuous Mining Safety in U.S. Coal Mines 1988-1997
Original creation date: June 1998
This paper contains the results of an examination of accident, injury, employment, and production information reported to the U.S. Department of Labor's Mines Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and provides information on some of the measures longwall mine operators are using to prevent accidents. In all industries, technological advances play a key role in determining those who will survive as competitive participants in an increasingly global marketplace. While mining is among the most basic of industries, technological change is neither unfamiliar nor unwelcome to miners. Historically, technological advances in mining, particularly coal mining, have tracked closely with fluctuations in demand. There is little doubt that longwall mining has greatly increased underground coal mining productivity. The degree to which longwall mining has contributed to a safer work environment for underground miners is more difficult to ascertain.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a clinical diagnosis, meaning that the doctor can only determine if someone has ADHD by taking a good history, asking about symptoms, and learning about the person's development, family background, and family psychiatric history. The doctor will then integrate all these pieces of information and, using accepted clinical guidelines, provide feedback as to whether or not this person has ADHD.
There is no test for ADHD. We know that there are anatomical differences in the brains of individuals who have ADHD, and these have been studied with sophisticated brain imaging techniques. However, brain imaging techniques are still only research tools and cannot be used to make a clinical diagnosis.
An assessment for ADHD may include psychological testing. These tests will provide information about intelligence (IQ), academic achievement, and whether there are problems with a learning disability. While these tests may be useful, and may indicate other possible causes of difficulty with attention, they are not diagnostic in themselves. The testing situation itself may mask the ADHD, since the testing is a very structured task with continuous supervision and requiring high motivation and high interest. An individual with ADHD might do well in such a test situation, but still be unable to force themselves to pay attention to boring material in a busy classroom.
Some, but not all, clinicians also use computerized tests of attention such as the Continuous Performance Test or the Gordon Diagnostic System as part of their assessment. These tests may help the doctor obtain a better sense of a person's attention skills and weaknesses, but they are never diagnostic in themselves. The tests cannot determine if the symptoms are caused by something else. Some individuals who clearly have ADHD still do well on these tests. Therefore, while these tests may be useful, they are not essential, and do not establish that the assessment is more "scientific" than a good clinical interview.
Rating scales are a very important part of the assessment process. Rating scales are checklists that allow the doctor to compare the individual's symptoms with those experienced by people in general. They also serve to give the doctor a sense of the individual's difficulty in different environments, and in different areas of functioning. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual - 4th edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) is the best-known set of symptom criteria that doctors use to make a diagnosis of ADHD. These symptoms have been chosen because they are often more frequent and problematic in individuals who suffer from ADHD. These diagnostic criteria are also often used as a rating scale. Symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) are also included for reference, since about half of all individuals with ADHD will also have ODD. Some children with ADHD have serious problems with getting into trouble such as fighting, lying, stealing, and hurting animals (conduct disorder), and these difficulties cause problems in their own right, over and above the difficulties associated with ADHD.
If you are concerned your child may have ADHD, complete the symptoms of ADHD checklist to discuss with your doctor.

I'm so sad to hear that this place closed. I am going to miss the refreshing fresh-squeezed watermelon juice and enchiladas.
Posted by Svans on 07/05/2012
I really like this place, order at least once a week and the service is always impeccable. They accidentally gave me soup instead of salsa last time but sent over salsa within five minutes of my call advising them of the mistake. Maybe not the best mex in the city but definitely the best in north slope.
Posted by jen480 on 06/23/2012
Went here for the first time and really enjoyed it. The watermelon juice is a must, especially in the summertime. The enchiladas and steak burrito were also good.

This makes the second time ("fool me twice, shame on me") that delivery has taken more than hour . . . we're now going on 1 hr. 15 minutes and counting (after being told "only 10 minutes more" about, oh, a half-hour ago). The food is OK, the cafeteria decor you can live with, but please do yourself a favor and do not order takeout. Subpar . . . late . . . cold.
Posted by bcsurvivor on 02/03/2012
The food is great. The portions are generous. Delivery is timely even in heavy rain or snow. I've never received a cold meal. Kudos for their willingness to tweak an order to suit my preference. What else can you ask for?
Posted by anonymous on 12/12/2011
Just ordered delivery from here. food came quick but it was cold and unappetizing. we ordered a taco salad that came as a small one cup size taco shell with chicken and cheese. the quesadillas were small cubes with damp flour tortillas. do not fall for it.
Posted by oldtimer on 12/01/2011
I adore this Mexican restaurant, and have been ordering delivery regularly for over a year. Have never had problems. Once in a while the quality varies slightly, but in a very minor way, like the enchiladas not having as much sauce as I like. But then I asked for extra sauce the next time, and have never had a problem again. Too bad to read complaints as they're all so incredibly nice, in my experience it's been excellent service from start to finish. Perhaps I'm lucky, but more likely the folks with bad experiences caught them at an off moment. But more importantly, their food is fab. First. the guacamole con totopos - fresh fried corn chips and fresh smashed guac, usually as good as any I've had made tableside in a restaurant. Second, love the burritos and quesadillas. Third, ENCHILADAS just like I had in LA. Very hard to come by in NYC, authentic Cali-Mex. They have my vote for best Mexican in the Slope, at least.

Put down that phone…
I love getting mail…and I love talking with friends…but I love GETTING A REAL CARD MORE! Did I mention how I love getting a real card??? Handmade, hand stamped, sewn, digitally printed, collaged…anything that comes in the MAIL. I am a hands on, visual person and I love my mailbox. And I love talking to people in person while they are NOT playing with their phones and Blackberries. (This means you, Adam and Maggie!!!)
So, for this week's challenge, I would love to see everyone stash their electronic gadgets for 30 minutes and make a card. Your own little piece of art. It doesn't need to have a specific theme. Then actually MAIL IT to a friend or relative that you miss, need to thank, or haven't spoken to in a while. They will love your spontaneous behavior. Kind of like a random act of kindness card!
Here are a few ideas to get you started.
This miss you card is my usual simple, fast style. Stamp the "back" of the square for a "shadow" and stamp the stitched block in black on top. Then trim and mount onto a pool card and add the scallop. (Those water droplets are compliments of my husband, who splashed all my finished cards!!! It WAS an accident!)

Michael Schumacher's wife appealed to the media on Tuesday to leave the French hospital they have staked out since the German was critically injured in a skiing accident nine days ago and to let the doctors do their job.
Corinna Schumacher also asked the media to leave her family in peace after German reports said on Monday there had been a slight improvement in the former driver's condition, hours after Grenoble hospital had issued a bulletin saying he was still stable, but critical.
"Please support us in our joint struggle with Michael," Corinna said in a statement. "It is important to me that you relieve the doctors and the hospital so [that] they can work in peace.
"Please trust their statements and leave the hospital. Please also leave our family in peace."
They were Corinna's first public comments since a 30 December statement in which she thanked the medical team for their efforts and expressed gratitude to fans around the world for their outpouring of support.
Schumacher, a seven-time Formula 1 World Champion, suffered brain injuries when his head hit a rock in France on Dec. 27.
He has been in an induced coma since then and has undergone two operations in Grenoble.
The hospital and the German's management have repeatedly asked the media to respect his privacy.
The medical team have held news conferences and issued periodic bulletins on his condition including one on Monday that said: "The clinical state of Michael Schumacher is that he is stable, as he is under permanent care and treatment.
"However, the medical team in charge stresses that it continues to assess his situation as critical."
Bild, Germany's best-selling newspaper, reported on Tuesday under the headline 'First hopes for Schumi' that the former driver nearly died twice last week.
It added that doctors are now more optimistic that he will survive.
"Twice in the last week it looked like Schumi would lose the fight for his life," Bild wrote.
"The brain scan on Friday was 'catastrophic', Bild has learned from medical sources. But after the readings stabilised towards the weekend the doctors are now confident that he will make it."
Last week Schumacher's agent Sabine Kehm urged journalists to stay away after security guards reported that they intercepted a reporter who was trying to get into his room, disguised as a priest .
Schumacher, who turned 45 on Friday, is the most successful F1 driver of all time, with 91 race victories.
He left the sport last year after a disappointing three-year comeback with Mercedes following an earlier retirement from Ferrari at the end of 2006.
French newspaper Le Dauphine Libere reported on Tuesday that the camera which Schumacher had on his skiing helmet was recording when he crashed.
The newspaper said that investigators had footage which will be useful to understand the circumstances of the accident. The prosecutor in Annecy is due to hold a news conference on Wednesday. (Reuters)

City and county officials met with representatives from Asheville, N.C.-based restaurant Tupelo Honey Cafe on Tuesday to show support over the possibility of the eatery putting down roots in the old CC&O railroad depot.
After months of waiting, the decision of where a new Tupelo Honey will be located could be announced within a week or less.
The cafe started a social media campaign in March asking their fans to comment on their Facebook page as to where they would like to see a new Tupelo built. Tri-Cities fans dominated the polls with the highest amount of votes, but the decision on where to place the cafe was torn between Bristol, Kingsport and Johnson City, leaving Tupelo representatives searching for the perfect spot.
Elizabeth Sims, director of marketing for Tupelo, said Tuesday the restaurant's search is nearly complete.
"I think we're very close. We are supposed to get some additional information tomorrow," Sims said. "I hate to commit, because we don't have all of the information yet."
Sims said those visiting Tuesday were impressed with the location and the atmosphere of the downtown Johnson City spot.
"It's a wonderful structure," she said. "It's got so much character. ... And we had a very, very warm welcome from a lot of folks from the community, so we were able to get lots of different perspectives on the growth in Johnson City, which is very impressive."
City and county officials such as Mayor Jeff Banyas, Johnson City School System Chairwoman Kathy Hall, Johnson City Police Chief Mark Sirois and State Rep. Dale Ford made a showing at the depot location to greet Tupelo and to talk with them about Johnson City.
Sims said she was impressed with the current growth of Johnson City was undergoing, as well as the overall diversity of the city.
"It was fun. We had a good time and learned a lot," she said. "I think what is going to happen downtown with the Greenway and all of the plans for that street, I think that's going to be a lovely improvement for the city."
Mitch Miller, executive vice president with the Washington County Economic Development Council, said he felt as though the visit went well and that both sides walked away with positive impressions.
"I thought it was a great visit. We had a great turnout from some community leaders who really showed their support," Miller said. "Tupelo was very ... impressed with the potential that the depot holds. It's a property that they see a lot of value in, not only from the restaurant standpoint, but the significance of restoring a building like that back to what it used to be back in the day."
While the restaurant could still decide to go with the Bristol or Kingsport locations, Miller said he is hopeful the restaurant will come to Johnson City.
"We left the meeting excited about potential for what could be if Tupelo were there and ... I think that they left here excited about what the potential for them would be," he said. "The ball's in their court, but we want to continue to be in front of these guys and do what we can to promote our community and sell our community to them."
Sims, who didn't want to pinpoint a date of when Tupelo would announce the new Tri-Cities location for their restaurant, said either way they were excited about coming to Northeast Tennessee.
"We're just excited to be in the Tri-Cities, in general. I think wherever we land is going to be pretty awesome," she said.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - A harmful new fruit fly threatens Minnesota's raspberry, blueberry, strawberry, grape and cherry crops.
The tiny spotted wing Drosophila is native to Asia. It was found first in California in 2008 and quickly caused sizeable losses along the West Coast.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports the first arrival in Minnesota was detected late last summer. The first confirmed appearance in Minnesota this year was June 27 in Dakota County. An infestation was found in Rice County a week later. Five more reports have since surfaced since then.
University of Minnesota entomologist Mark Asplen says the flies lay their eggs inside the fruit, the eggs hatch, and the larvae feed on the fruit from the inside, turning it into a mushy mass.
The flies can be controlled with insecticides.

A distributed arbitration scheme for a communications bus wherein the bus interface modules decide among themselves who should next use the bus. The protocol is a common multiprocessor backplane bus interface for supporting multiprocessing, shared memory, and memory mapped input/output operations. The protocol allows programmable priority which can be changed during system operation. The architecture handles interrupts over the bus and therefore eliminates separate interrupt lines. The scheme can implemented in CMOS technology and is compatible with other integrate circuit device technology.
1. In a system including a common bus and a plurality of users connected to said common bus, and in which each user of said plurality of users includes means for providing a request signal indicating that said user is a requesting user requiring access to said common bus, a method of determining priority comprising the steps of:
each user requiring access to the bus sending a bus request signal;
each user requesting access to the bus sending its priority level bits to each other requesting user during successive clock cycles starting with the most significant priority bits;
each requesting user comparing by exclusive ORing its priority level bits to the priority bits of each other requesting user and storing the resulting value in a priority latch;
each requesting user determining from the value stored in the priority latch its priority in relation to each other requesting user; and
the requesting user with the highest priority level receiving access to the bus when next available.
2. In a system including a common bus and a plurality of users connected to said common bus, and in which each user of said plurality of users includes means for providing a request signal indicating that said user is a requesting user requiring access to said common bus, an apparatus for determining priority in access to said common bus, comprising:
signal means associated with each user to transmit to each other user its priority bits;
comparison means comprising exclusive OR logic to determine the highest priority user and storing the results in a priority latch; and
means for granting access to the highest priority user requiring access to the bus based on the stored value and the presence of a bus request signal.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein CMOS integrated circuit drivers are used to drive signals to the bus.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention is related generally to multiprocessing computer systems and more particularly to the selection of one of a plurality of processors to communicate on a common communications bus.
2. Background Art
Multiprocessing techniques have become widely used in computing systems. Essentially, multiprocessing systems employ a plurality of processing devices operating substantially independent from one another to thereby enable the computing system to simultaneously accomplish a variety of different tasks.
Rather than provide each of the processors with a complete independent computing system having inputs, processing, and storage along with outputs, a plurality of processors are interconnected by a single communications bus.
In computer systems, design tradeoffs in circuit packaging, technology, cost and system performance often result in the implementation of shared buses for the transfer of information such as data, commands or other messages. In systems that utilize high speed parallel buses which interconnect several devices of similar function and bus priority, it is necessary that each device be given sufficient allocation in bus access to balance bus utilization, i.e., bandwidth. For optimum operation, it is also necessary that the average wait time for all devices in accessing the bus be as small as possible. It is further necessary for optimum performance that the arbitration mechanism which determines priority in access to the shared bus be as fast as possible, particularly in terms of logic level transitions, to calculate the next device grant.
Prior art techniques for selecting the processor for access to the bus have generally involved the use of discrete combinatorial and sequential logic elements and have therefore been highly complex and cumbersome in use. Further, such prior art techniques are relatively inflexible in operation, thus limiting the ability of such systems to accommodate for particular contingencies. For example, in many systems, the routine priority scheme may be upset by special memory requests, such as a multi-cycle request where the requesting processor requires a memory access involving more than a single memory cycle. Other special priority requests include "super priority" requests such as memory refresh cycles which must be performed to the exclusion of all other memory accesses. The prior art techniques employing discrete components cannot easily accommodate such non-routine memory requests without involving highly complex circuitry.
Conventional bus arbitration schemes generally implement a fixed, unchanging priority scheme among the using devices. Non programmable hardware logic generates bus use grant signals as a function of the incoming request signals in a fixed and unchanging priority structure. Such schemes are inflexible because the priority structure is built into the logic hardware and there is no way, short of redesigning the arbitration circuit, to accommodate different applications or changing system configurations and request loads.
The prior art has sought to alleviate these limitations by providing programmable arbitration mechanisms in which the relative priority ordering of the using devices is indicated by the contents of storage devices, such as registers, and hence may be changed by reprogramming the register contents.
While providing programmability at one level, these mechanisms have not met the needs of multiprocessor computer systems and other bus-oriented digital systems that require flexible, programmable, class-oriented priority schemes. In such systems, using devices are commonly divided into classes, with each class having a different priority, while devices within a class have the same priority and are generally scheduled to access the bus in a round-robin, equal opportunity, manner. The prior art programmable arbitration mechanisms have traditionally not possessed the flexibility necessary to adapt to such a variety and combination of priority determining manners. Hence the prior art mechanisms have not been capable of meeting the changing needs of a variety of arbitrator applications, configurations of using devices and device response time requirements.
Typical multiprocessor environments employ a common backplane bus to connect a plurality of processors. To interrupt a central processor each device must send an interrupt signal to the processor. Due to packaging constraints dedicated interrupt lines are at a premium. Many interrupt schemes have been implemented in the past to control the accessing of data in a computerized system. Fixed, as well as programmable, priority interrupt systems are available. As data acquisition rates increase with faster processors and the emergence of 32-bit processors, faster priority interrupt schemes are needed. To save dedicated interrupt lines and the associated integrated circuit pinouts, what is needed is a bus interrupt technique that uses the backplane bus. A device desiring access to the bus interrupts by first broadcasting its priority onto the bus and then sending an interrupt message.
Also common in the prior art in a centralized arbitration scheme, where a central arbitrator determines which module will receive the bus use next. This is the conventional way and has the disadvantage of a single point of failure (that is, when the centralized arbitrator fails, everything stops). This is unacceptable in fault tolerance systems, like space projects, banking, and critical industrial processes which can not use a centralized arbitration scheme.
What is needed is a distributed programmable priority scheme to solve the problems encountered in the prior art.
It is therefore and object of the invention to provide a programmable priority scheme.
It is further object of the invention to provide a distributed arbitration scheme wherein individual communications modules vie for a common bus.
It is still a further object to provide a distributed programmable priority scheme using no additional interrupt lines.
It is yet a further object of the invention to provide an arbitration scheme which is compatible with various integrated circuit device technologies.
These and other objects, feature and advantages of the invention are accomplished by a distributed arbitration scheme for a communication bus wherein a plurality of bus interface modules decide among themselves who should be granted use of the bus next. The protocol is a common microprocessor backplane bus interface for supporting multiprocessing, shared memory, memory mapping and input/output operations. The protocol features programmable priority which can be changed during bus system operation. The scheme handles interrupts over the bus and therefore eliminates separate interrupt lines. The scheme can be implemented in CMOS technology and is compatible with other integrated circuit device technologies.
FIG. 1 is block diagram of a typical microprocessor environment.
FIG. 2 is a timing diagram for an eight device distributed programmable priority arbitration scheme according to the present invention.
FIG. 3a is a schematic of the combinatorial logic used to derive prior and FIG. 3b is a logic truth table for determining priority.
FIG. 4a, b c and d are circuit schematics of the drive signal generation for a communications bus.
Typically microprocessors operate in a multiprocessor environment, where the priority of a given processor at a particular time is determined by what task that processor is performing. Since tasks can be assigned to the processors on a dynamic basis, priorities can change with task and during time. The block diagram of FIG. 1 shows a typical multiprocessor environment formed by a computer system 10 containing CPU's 12, and 14, memory devices shown as 16 and 18, input/output devices 20 and 22, co-processor 24 and application specific device 26, attached to a tightly coupled backpanel bus 30, external interfaces 32 are connected to the input/output devices. The bus 30 may include data transfer functions, control or status functions, host interface functions and factory test interfaces.
The invention is illustrated by the timing diagram of FIG. 2 which shows 8 bus interface unit modules connecting computer devices to the backpanel bus 30. In cycle 0 the bus is not used. No module is asserting its bus request line (BRQ). Likewise, no module asserts the bus engaged line BE*. In the following cycle, cycle 1, modules 1, 3, and 4 attempt to gain control of the bus by asserting their BRQ lines. A unique BRQ line is assigned to each module. A module requests the bus by asserting its BRQ line with all other modules receiving notification that a bus request has been made.
The bus request signals on BRQ1, BRQ3, and BRQ4 are received by all the modules. Each module processes these signals to determine which module has the highest priority. Each module is aware of the priority of all other modules hence, all modules will make the same decision as to which module should receive priority for use of the bus. In FIG. 2 its assumed that module 1 has the highest priority, therefore, module 1 gains control of the bus during cycle 1.
In cycle 2, module 1 asserts the bus engaged line BE* to indicate that the bus is now busy. Each module, including module 1 begins to broadcast its priority bits on its unique BRQ line. For instance, module 1 broadcasts its priority bits on BRQ1, as illustrated in FIG. 2. Six priority bits are shown for illustration purposes. The actual number of priority bits will be determined by the application of the system. It should be noted that each module can change its priority bits from transaction to transaction. For example, the six priority bits beginning at cycle 2 may differ from the six priority bits beginning at cycle 10.
FIG. 2 shows only the arbitration lines. Other possible lines, such as address/data lines, are not shown. While the modules are broadcasting their priority bits on the arbitration lines, the current master or module that has priority for use of the bus line, that is in this case module 1, uses the other bus lines to carrying out its bus transaction. For example, this could be reading a cache memory line from a global memory module. Thus, the broadcasting of priority bits does not interfere with normal bus transactions making this distributed programmable arbitration scheme very efficient.
In cycles 3 through 7 the modules broadcast their priority bits over their respective BRQ lines as illustrated in FIG. 2. The current master, module 1, continues its transaction on the other bus lines.
In cycle 8 after broadcasting of priority bits is completed, any module which needs to use the bus next will assert its BRQ line. As shown in FIG. 2, only modules 3 and 4 need to use the bus, so only BRQ3 and BRQ4 are asserted in cycle 8. Module 1 has control of the bus as it continues its transaction until it is complete. For this illustration let us assume that the module 1 transaction is completed in this cycle.
Beginning in cycle 9, module 1 releases its BE* line to indicate that the bus is now free. Modules 3 and 4 compete for the bus, using the priority bits that were broadcast in cycles 2 through 7. Assuming that module 3 has a higher priority, then module 3 gains control over the bus. In cycle 10, module 3 asserts the BE* line to indicate that the bus is now busy. All modules start to broadcast their priority bits which may have been changed by programming dynamically during system operation. A new bus transaction period then starts the count.
To implement the invention, protocol processing is done within each module to determine, from the received priority bits, whether it has a higher priority than another module. For instance, as illustrated in FIG. 2, module 3 receives priority bits from module 4 during cycles 2 through 7. Module 3 needs to decide, by the end of cycle 8, whether it has a higher priority than module 4. This takes only an exclusive OR gate and a 1-bit latch, called a priority latch, to make this decision. During cycle 2, the first priority bit X from module 4 and the first priority bit Y for module 3 are exclusive ORed as shown in FIG. 3a. There are two cases:
Case 1, the output of the exclusive OR gate 40 is equal to 0. Therefore modules 3 and 4 have equal priority at their first bit (the most significant bit). No decision can be made as to priority level between 3 and 4. Continuing to the next cycle, the second most significant bit is compared.
Here modules 3 and 4 do not have equal priority, the exclusive OR gate 40 output is a 1 and this output is used to enable the priority latch to store X, the bit from module 4. Once we have a priority bit in the latch 44, further comparison is no longer needed. The value of X indicates which module has a higher priority. Here module 3 has a high priority than module 4. Continuing on, a priority decision can be reached by the end of 8 cycles. With N modules on the bus, each module contain N-1 simple circuits to make the priority decision.
For each module to determine whether it is the master for receipt of the bus during the next transaction, additional information must be determined. For instance, as illustrated in FIG. 2, during cycle 9, the bus engaged line BE* is high, indicating that the bus is free. Modules 3 and 4 are then able to compete for the bus. A module will be the next bus master if it requests the bus and has higher priority over other modules requesting the bus. Since these inputs are either on the BRQ lines or on the priority latches, a AND gate 46, and inverters 48, 50 are used within each module to determine if that module will be the next bus master.
A typical driver for a communication's bus is a bipolar open collecter driver as shown in FIG. 4A. Shown is a voltage power supply 50 which powers the bus through termination resistance 52. In each bus interface module 54, 56 and 58 are opened bipolar collector drivers. This produces a logical NOR gate shown in FIG. 4B. For space applications, open collector drivers can not be used because of the large power requirement of 70 milliamperes per driver and because the open collector driver scheme is not radiation hard. What is needed is a CMOS driver because of its low power and radiation hardness.
As shown in FIG. 4C, simply using CMOS transistors as the communications bus drivers causes a diagonal driving problem through transistors 64 and 66 or 68 and 70. This will act like a short circuit and may damage the transistors.
A solution to this driving problem is shown in FIG. 4D which shows the BRQ0 line 80. Connected to the BRQ0 line are termination resistance 82 and modules 0, 1, 2-7. Each module uses an inverter 84 as its driver which prevents any diagonal driving problem yet provides high gain, low power, and radiation hardened devices.
What is shown is a programmable distributed priority arbitration scheme which eliminates interrupt lines and can use various integrated circuit device technology such as CMOS.
Although a specific embodiment have been disclosed, it would be understood that those having skill in the art, changes can be made to the specific embodiment without departing from the spirit that is coupling the invention.

Solution for Nutritious Meals on the Go!
As many of you know I am a huge believer in the phrase, "You can't out train a bad diet!" No matter how much you exercise, if you don't put nutritious food in your body, you will not meet your health and fitness goals. Eating smaller, nutritional meals coupled with exercise has always been the combination that gets the weight off and keeps it off. The problem is most people don't have the time to prepare the nutritional meals needed for long term weight management. That's why I am so excited to share with you a brand new meal replacement shake weight management program!
These chocolate and vanilla shakes are delicious and have just the right amount of vitamins, greens and protein to replace a meal! What a great way to drop extra weight and keep it off.
Before I go into detail, please know my endorsement did not come easy. I have always been extremely skeptical of meal replacement shakes. Most of them don't taste good, don't fill you up, and most are filled with artificial sweeteners (a big no-no). However, so many of my clients were having difficulty eating healthy, especially with such busy lives, I knew there had to be a solution. After doing extensive research in the nutritional value of what's needed in a meal replacement shake and being a part of this company for over 2 years, I am completely confident that we nailed it. This is the best weight management program and meal replacement available today. It's Vegan, Gluten-Free, and made with Non-GMO ingredients! Click here to read the ingredient deck.
This is a real game-changer for people who want to lose weight and keep it off. It's so easy to use and tastes so good; everyone will be able to stay on track and get results.
So, here's the special offer…
I know for a fact this will help you lose weight AND keep it off! In fact, even though the company is only taking preorders, I want to offer you a chance to be the first to receive of LS VIBE! You'll get 60 servings (30 Chocolate, 30 Vanilla) for the pre-order price of only $250. That breaks down to only $4.16 per meal (you can't even get a greasy, fat-laden fast food meal for that!) I believe in this product so much that I'm even taking it a step further to help you… I'm offering my complete set of New Mommy Makeover DVDs free for everyone that takes advantage of the pre-order before March 26, 2013. That's right the complete set valued at $325.00 will be shipped to you after your pre-order of Vibe is processed. This is a ONE TIME offer!

I have worked out with many personal trainers before, but never anyone like my trainer, Colleen. What separates Colleen from other trainers is that she genuinely cares for her clients. She prepares your workout well in advance and is very organized. She makes sure you have proper form during all exercise routines and she listens to you and your needs. This not only helps her clients lose weight, but also coaches them to make a lifestyle change. She actually cares about how I am doing and wants me to be healthy not just lose weight. She wants me to understand my body and what roles nutrition and exercise play in my life.
Colleen is also great about checking on your progress as well as consistently sending out interesting articles and videos. Proper nutrition and stress management are emphasized just as much as exercise, which is key for longer-term success. You really get the sense that Colleen is as invested in your progress as you are, and that kind of teamwork and coaching is what sets her above all others.-D. Woods

8 Tips to Kick Sugar Addiction
We are two weeks into the new year….how's everyone doing on their nutrition and exercise? The holidays tend to be a time where it's easy to overindulge! Here's a short list to turn to as you try and kick your sugar addiction! One of my coaching clients has this picture on her phone as a reminder when her cravings kick up! I will elaborate a bit on each of the eight tips.
1.High Fiber foods: Aim for 25-30 grams per day. Examples: All types of beans, lentils, oatmeal, pears, broccoli, apples just to name a few (email me for a full list firstname.lastname@example.com)
2.Drink Green or Black Tea: easy to do at this time of year! Nice warm cup of tea with your afternoon snack: YUM!
3.Exercise regularly: I don't need to elaborate here:-), remember Something is always better than Nothing!
4.Take a vitamin supplement: Out of all the supplements I have researched, I have endorsed Life Shotz. Hands down best on the market!
5.Get eight hours of sleep: the importance of sleep is often overlooked! Lack of sleep can lead to poor food choices, increased belly fat and more.
6.Drink more water! So important! Many people mistake thirst for hunger and end up eating thinking they are hungry, when they are just dehydrated.
7.Do a Detox: I don't have a lot to say on this topic, other than do it slow and steady; nothing extravagant.
8.Eat fruit to satisfy sweet craving: The natural sugars in fruit will give you the satisfaction PLUS provide extra fiber!

Ward off Holiday Weight Gain!
My colleague and friend, Casey Marshek, is a trainer out in Colorado. We have a lot of the same beliefs, and she is passionate about helping her clients too! We often share training ideas, healthy food options, and ideas to inspire our clients. I asked her to be a guest on this week's newsletter. I think you will find these tips extremely helpful to help keep you fit during these next few weeks! If you
know anyone in the Denver area, I highly recommend Casey as a great personal trainer! Here's a link to her site: http://caseymarshekpersonaltraining.blogspot.com/
Here are her tips:
Over the years I have heard friends, family, and clients say that after the holiday's they feel sluggish, bloated, and exhausted. This is no surprise. During the holidays we travel, go without sleep, and over indulge on high fat, high calorie foods.
I am hoping my friends and loved one's can avoid this unpleasant feeling post-holiday season by following some nutrition and fitness tips that make surviving the holidays EASY.
1) Keep a food journal. It will help you make sure you are eating a balanced diet, and keep you from over indulging on sweets.
2) Don't skip breakfast. It will energize you for your day and keep you from over indulging at lunch.
3) If you live with people who like to indulge. Purchase or bake things that they like and you do not.
4) Portion control isn't about measuring or calorie counting. It's about skipping pasta if you indulged in the bread basket.
5) If you are not hungry enough for a fruit or vegetable. You are not hungry.
6) Cut sodium and carbonation. Carbonation can bloat your stomach, making it appear distended for hours. Sodium causes you to retain fluids.
7) When at a holiday party eat off a cocktail napkin instead of a dinner plate to control your portion sizes.
8) Cut out unnecessary beverages that contain calories. (lemonade, latte, juice, wine)
9) Pack snacks in single serving containers to hold yourself to one serving.
10) Keep fruits and vegetables at work for snacks, so that you avoid the vending machine.
1) Remember that eating is not a hobby
2) Rest no more than 30 seconds between exercises and it will dramatically increase your calorie burn.
3) When craving something distract yourself for 20 minutes: ride a bike, do some yoga, go for a walk, call a friend. If you still want it, then indulge.
4) When doing a cardio workout add interval bursts to increase your calorie burn and keep your brain engaged.
5) Start your day with fitness and use the endorphin release instead of that high calorie latte for engergy.
6) Holiday season is busy. If you don't have 30-40 minutes in a row for a workout then sneak 10 minute in the morning, 10 minutes after work, walk to the store, and take the stairs. Every little bit adds up!

Tony Dawson: Tennis Professional
I am a former tennis touring professional and have been competing again in the past few years both Nationally and Internationally in Senior Tennis events. Over these years I have tried several products that would give me the stamina to last long matches and competitive matches over several days. 30 days ago, I used Life Shotz as a trial and I am amazed at the results that occurred in a very short period of time. Recently, I played two long matches in the same day and after playing 5 hours in the Texas heat, found I had the same amount of energy at the end of the event as I had in the beginning.
Additionally I would normally be extremely stiff and sore for a number of days and I am happy to report that the soreness was gone after two days … I am now convinced that Life Shotz was the difference and will continue to use it as I head into a busy tennis season. Thank you for exposing me to this new miracle and I look forward to continued improvements in my overall fitness!

7 Tips for a Healthy Thanksgiving
I'm thankful for all of my wonderful clients, and supportive readers! Just wanted to share seven tips with you to keep you healthy and fit through Thanksgiving!
1. Dressing: Use a little less bread and add more onions, garlic, celery, and vegetables. Add fruits such as cranberries or apples. Moisten or flavor with low fat low sodium chicken or vegetable broth and applesauce.
2. Turkey: Enjoy delicious, roasted turkey breast without the skin and save 11 grams of saturated fat per 3 oz serving.
3. Mashed Potato Substitute: Use heavily steamed cauliflower, garlic or garlic powder, and low fat sour cream and beat(John loves these!)
4. Quick Holiday Nog: Four bananas, 1-1/2 cups skim milk or soymilk, 1-1/2 cups plain nonfat yogurt, 1/4 teaspoon rum extract, and ground nutmeg. Blend all ingredients except nutmeg. Puree until smooth. Top with nutmeg.
5. Desserts: Make a crust-less pumpkin pie. Substitute two egg whites for each whole egg in baked recipes. Replace heavy cream with evaporated skim milk in cheesecakes and cream pies. Top cakes with fresh fruit, fruit sauce, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar instead of fattening frosting.
6. Appetizers: Don't go overboard with pre-dinner treats. It's easy to consume 1500 calories before you even sit down to dinner. Avoid the heavy cheese dip, and fried options. Focus on fresh items such as veggies and fruit.
7. Exercise: Get a quick workout in before the day begins. Remember, something is better than nothing! Intervals are the best way to get your body into a "Fat Burning Furnace" all day!
Enjoy your special day! Above all, remember what this holiday is really about: Being grateful for the special people in your live. Thank you for being a part of my life!

"Who loses weight over the holidays? I just put on a pair of jeans that were too tight at Thanksgiving, and they were loose! Since I began to take Life Shotz two months ago, I notice that I'm not hungry between meals, so I'm not munching or snacking anymore. I have more energy at the end of my day, so I'm getting more done when I get home, and I'm getting to the gym more often and not spending as much time on the couch. I'm also in a better mood when I get home from a long, stressful day at work. I feel better than I have in years!"-Robin Glaus

Healthy Halloween Tips
Well, it's that time of year again, Halloween. Little ghosts and goblins are running all about. Are you dressing up this year? Have your kids dragged you all around town to find the perfect costume? I found this cartoon, and it made me laugh, so I wanted to share it with all of you. I know it would be unrealistic for me to expect you and your kids to not eat candy this Halloween. I do suggest that you keep it under control and monitor what your kids consume. I also wanted to provide some creative alternatives. The candy aisles in the store are woefully lacking in healthier alternatives. Small bags of pretzels, popcorn, or animal crackers are some healthier options. It's hard to find safely-packaged, treat-sized portions of fruits, veggies, or even nuts. So instead, how about some fun items that not only lack tons of sugar, but also last a lot longer than candy. Here are some ideas: silly bands, temporary tattoos, spider rings, and glow sticks.
Overall, try to make Halloween about having fun and getting dressed up. Focus on carving the pumpkin, watching a fun Halloween inspired movie, and enjoying time with family and friends. Also don't just throw away your pumpkin seeds. They are filled with fiber essential fatty acids, and antioxidants! Just mix them with a little oil and some seasoning and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes!

Healthy Traveling
I met a wonderful trainer out in Corvallis, Oregon. We've been sharing some training ideas, and I came across this great article she wrote about staying active while traveling. I asked if I could share it with my readers. John and I are about to head across the country to San Jose, CA for our Life Shotz conference, and I will definitely be packing my workout clothes! Jessica wrote this article pertaining to the Labor Day weekend, but I think we can apply it to any trips we have in the near future! Let me know what you think!
Going somewhere this holiday weekend? Don't let that stop you from getting physical activity. There have been lots of research articles and news stories published lately about the dangers of sitting for long periods of time. So, while lounging at the beach or hanging out at a backyard BBQ may be in your plans this weekend, see if you can mix it up by accumulating bits of exercise throughout the day. You might even be able to convince a friend to join you.
Here are some strategies for having a more active vacation:
1. Plan trips that involve getting exercise. Skiing, canoeing , backpacking, and fly fishing can be relaxing, enjoyable, and physical all at the same time.
2. Explore on foot or by bike rather than by motorized transport. If you're visiting a big city like New York or Chicago, see how far your legs can take you. Or if you're in the countryside, rent some cruiser bikes and go for a ride.
3. Do some airport yoga. Even if you're not flying from San Fransisco, you can make the airport your yoga studio. Find a quiet corner in an empty terminal and let your inner yogini shine.
4. Play some games with the kids. Put the electronics off limits this weekend and play some good, old-fashioned games. Adults can play too. Wiffle ball, lawn darts, horseshoes, and miniature golf will get you off your rear end and having a great time with the family.
5. Schedule time for a workout. You schedule time for everything important in your life: work, family get-togethers, hair appointments, and watching the big game. Why not exercise? Sign up for a morning kickboxing class or program an alarm on your phone to remind you to go for a jog. Make exercise a priority every day.
You will find yourself much more relaxed and rejuvenated if you take a little bit of time every day to move your body. Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

I just had a wonderful visit with my sister, her husband, and my 16
year old niece, and 14 year old nephew. I love them so much!! They
come every year and visit us at the beach. They are on vacation,
however, we are not! It's a challenge, as I'm sure many of you know
when you live at the beach to not be on vacation every time you have
visitors! I want to share a few tips that I put into practice while
they were here to not go overboard and get off my health and fitness
First of all, try and resist temptation. I joked with my family that I
was glad I didn't run into any clients while I was at the grocery
store. If someone had looked in my basket they would have thought I
was a hypocrite! I had some things in there I would never be caught
dead having in my house….pop tarts, frozen waffles filled with
strawberry filling, and sugared cereal to name a few! However, my
sweet niece and nephew requested some items and I wanted them to be
happy on vacation! I don't have a problem resisting these certain
foods. However, it was a challenge to turn down the dark chocolate and
wine! And, so, I did splurge a little, but it was on "pure" items!
Second, fit in exercise when you can. I only get to see my family
twice a year; once in the summer and then at Christmas. So I value
every minute I have with them. While I continued to train clients
while they were here, I didn't want to take extra time away to get my
workouts in. So one day on the weekend I woke up early and hopped on
the treadmill and did a short 30 minute sprint interval session
(remember, intervals burn up to 9 times more fat than steady state
cardio!) Then one day I did a workout on the beach. Instead of
getting a "regular" gym workout in, I brought a band down to the beach
and did a circuit. Wow, I forget how challenging basic exercises like
lunges are when you do them in the sand!
Finally, drink lots of water. Make sure you stay hydrated especially
if you are imbibing on extra adult beverages. When we all get together
we tend to have a few extra glasses of wine than we normally would. We
get to talking and laughing and having a ball! But I made sure to
drink a ton of water and that helps a lot!
So I'm not a complete "angel," but I did stick with many of my basic
philosophies! I hope these tips are helpful the next time you have
Yours in health,
Colleen Riddle

Three area boys basket-ball teams — Highland and Roscoe in District 13-1A and Blackwell in District 14-1A — are still trying to nail down a spot in the playoffs with only three games left.
Highland (5-2), which is in second place in 13-1A, will sew up a playoff berth with a win over Hermleigh (3-4) today and Roscoe (4-3) assures itself of a tie for the No. 3 spot by beating Loraine (0-7) — assuming Highland also wins today.
Blackwell (7-4) is tied for third place in District 14-1A with Bronte, but must take on Water Valley (10-0) to-day and Garden City (8-2) next Tuesday. The Hornets lost to Bronte 51-36 on Fri-day. Robert Lee (5-5) is also in the running for the No. 3 berth, as Water Valley and Garden City have locked up the top two spots.

Irving Harper
|Irving Harper
|July 14, 1916
|Industrial Designer, Architect, Author, Editor, Teacher
|Years active
Irving Harper (born July 14, 1916[1]) is a noted 20th-century industrial designer.[2] While working for George Nelson Associates, Inc. on designs for Herman Miller furniture Harper became one of the most prolific designers of the modernist style.[2] Among his important designs is the Herman Miller company logo, and the company's Marshmallow sofa.[2]
Early years[edit]
After attending Cooper Union and Brooklyn College, Irving Harper worked as a draftsman for the Gilbert Rohde's office during the 1930s.[3] While there he was responsible for the creation of the Plexiglas Exhibit, the Anthracite exhibit, and the Home Furnishings Focal exhibit at the 1939 New York World's Fair.[3] Leaving Rohde's, he worked as an interior designer for noted industrial designer Raymond Loewy at the Raymond Loewy Associates office, designing interiors in the company's department store division.[3]
George Nelson Associates, Inc.[edit]
In the 1940s Irving Harper met George Nelson. In 1947 he was offered a job as an interior designer by George Nelson and jumped at it, joining the team of George Nelson Associates, Inc. Initially Irving Harper was mostly responsible for designing trade advertising for the Herman Miller furniture account.[2] In 1947 Harper designed the logo for Herman Miller, Inc. Never trained as a graphic artist, Harper based the logo around a large letter "M", for Miller.[2] At first the logo was in wood-grain, since wood figured prominently in Herman Miller furniture. Harper states, "I continued to use the M and refined it as the ads went on. The Herman Miller logo was something they got for free, and they loved it." He chuckles. "There was no project to do a logo. It was probably the cheapest logo campaign in advertising history." Harper also was responsible for the textile prints used by Nelson's studio.[2]
Later Nelson got the Howard Miller Clock Co. account, and Irving Harper was given the responsibility of handling it.[2] Harper decided to create clocks that were a piece of sculpture. "To omit numbers and have an abstract object that moved on the wall was something no one was doing at the time". He would design a group of about eight clocks once or twice a year, which were sent to Howard Miller Clock Co. Most were put into production.[2] Today Harper's clocks for Howard Miller routinely sell for more than $1,000.[2]
Marshmallow sofa[edit]
In 1954 Irving Harper was introduced to a salesman from a Long Island plastics company. The salesman offered a product that created 12 inch diameter self-skinning discs. George Nelson embraced the idea as a way to manufacture low-cost furniture.[2] Over a weekend Harper designed a sofa incorporating 18 of the discs in a whimsical pattern. The salesman's product didn't live up to expectations, but Harper's design was put into production by Herman Miller as the Marshmallow sofa.[2] Today the Marshmallow sofa is considered one of the 20th century's most iconic modernst designs, with originals routinely selling for more than $15,000.[2]
Irving Harper worked for George Nelson Associates, Inc. for 17 years. During his time with the firm most of Harper's designs were attributed to George Nelson, as was the company's practice. John Pile, a designer for the firm in the 1950s, explains, "George's attitude was that it was okay for individual designers to be given credit in trade publications, but for the consumer world, the credit should always be to the firm, not the individual. He didn't always follow through on that policy though."[3]
Among the uncredited designs Irving Harper created while working for Nelson is the Herman Miller "Ball clock".[2]
After George Nelson[edit]
Irving Harper left George Nelson Associates, Inc. in 1963. Together with Phillip George they started Harper+George, a design company. The firm created designs for Braniff International Airways from 1967 until 1982, Jack Lenor Larsen, and Hallmark Cards, among many others.[2] Harper retired from Harper+George in 1983, and currently resides in Rye, New York, in a 19th-century farmhouse filled with modernist furnishings, and over 300 of his paper sculptures, which have achieved notarity in recent years. In early 2001 Harper teamed with textile designer Michael Maharam to re-introduce Harper's original 1950s era Herman Miller textile prints as part of Maharam's "Textiles of the 20th Century" line. Harper's print "Pavement fabric" was the first to be re-introduced in 2001, followed by "China Shop" in the fall of that year.
