1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the transmission of data between devices coupled to a high speed bus system. More particularly, the present invention relates to the packet format transmitted across a high speed bus system and the processing of the same by devices coupled to the bus.
2. Art Background
A computer bus is utilized for communication of information among master and slave devices coupled to the bus. Generally, a bus comprises a plurality of transmission lines to which the devices are coupled. Address, control, and data information are multiplexed over the transmission lines forming the bus. The information is communicated across the bus in many different formats. One such format is a packet format in which data is bundled in packets for transmission on the bus across multiple clock cycles. An example of a bus which utilizes packets is described in PCT international patent application number PCT/US/91/02590 filed Apr. 16, 1991, published Oct. 31, 1991, and entitled Integrated Circuit I/O Using a High Performance Bus Interface.
An example of a packet issued by a requesting device is illustrated in FIG. 1. Using bus lines BusCtl and BusData [7:0], in the first bus cycle the type of bus access and the master device (i.e., requesting device) is provided. In the second through sixth bus cycles the address of the requested data and the block size are provided.
However, as the speed of transmission of information on the bus increases, the speed required of the receiving devices to process the packet needs to also increase in order to reduce the latency and realize the advantages of the increased speed of transmission across the bus. Furthermore, it is desirable to decrease the die space consumed while maintaining full functionability at the bus interface.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a packet format which enables the receiving device to decrease the latency when the packet is processed.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a packet format which enables a receiving device to initiate access operations as quickly as possible based upon the address provided in the packet.
It is an object of the present invention to increase the speed for determining packet collisions on the bus and notifying devices of the occurrence of the same.
It is further an object of the present invention to provide a packet format for transmission across a high speed bus in which the block size decoding at the receiving device is simplified thereby increasing the speed at which the receiving device processes the information.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a packet format for transmission on a high speed bus which enables the die space consumed on the device receivers to be reduced.
A high speed bus system in which at least one master device, such as a processor, and at least one DRAM slave device are coupled to the bus. An innovative packet format and device interface which utilizes a plurality of time and space saving features in order to decrease the die size of the device receiver and decrease the overall latency on the bus is provided. In the preferred embodiment the request packet is transmitted on ten multiplexed transmission lines, identified as BusCtl and BusData [8:0]. The packet is transmitted over six sequential bus cycles, wherein during each bus cycle, a different portion of the packet is transmitted. The lower order address bits are moved ahead of the higher order address bits of the memory request. This enables the receiving device to process the memory request faster as the locality of the memory reference with respect to previous references can be immediately determined and page mode accesses on the DRAM can be initiated as quickly as possible. The type of memory access is arranged over a plurality of clock cycles; placing the more critical bits first. The count of blocks of data requested is arranged to minimize the number of bit positions in the packet used and therefore the number of transmission lines of the bus and the number of bus receiver contacts on the receiving device. This helps minimize the amount of die space required on the chip to process the block count information. The number of blocks is encoded in a manner to decrease the die space consumed in the receiver as well as to simplify the decoding by the receiver, thereby increasing the speed along critical paths and decreasing latency during the processing of the request packet.
The objects features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to one skilled in the art when reading the following detailed description in which:
FIG. 5a and
The request packet format is designed for use on a high speed multiplexed bus for communication between master devices such as processors and slave devices, such as memories and, in particular, dynamic random access memories (DRAMs). The bus carries substantially all address, data and control information needed by the master devices for communication with the slave devices coupled to the bus. The bus architecture includes the following signal transmission lines: BusCtl, BusData [8:0], as well as clock signal lines and power and ground lines. These lines are connected in parallel to each device as illustrated in FIG. 2.
The processors communicate with the DRAMs to read and write data to the memory. The processors form request packets which are communicated to the DRAMs by transmitting the bits on predetermined transmission lines at a predetermined time sequence (i.e., at predetermined clock cycles). The bus interface of the DRAM receiver processes the information received to determine the type of memory request, the address of the memory request and the number of bytes of the transaction. The DRAMs then perform the memory operation indicated by the request packet.
The memory address consists of the row address which is used during the row address strobe (RAS) in the DRAM and the column address which is used during the column address strobe (CAS) in the DRAM. The DRAMs have the capability to operate in normal RAS access mode or in page mode. When operable in page mode, if a subsequent request to access data is directed to the same row, the DRAM does not need to wait for receipt of the row address and to assert RAS, as RAS has been asserted during the previous memory access. Thus, the access time for this data is shortened. For further discussion regarding page mode DRAMs, see Steve L. Gumm, Carl T. Dreher, Unraveling the Intricacies of Dynamic RAM, Electronic Design News, pp. 155-165 (Mar. 30, 1989).
The request packet format further helps to improve the performance of the DRAMs in response to memory requests for page mode access. The DRAMs use the lower order portion of the memory address as the column address bits. This provides a locality of reference such that bytes of memory which are logically contiguous will be physically contiguous in the memory space. The resultant effect is that a greater number of logically contiguous bytes of memory are also physically contiguous and the frequency of page mode accesses is increased.
To further increase the access speed for a memory request, the lower order bits are placed at the beginning of the packet. This is illustrated in
As the lower order bits of the memory address are placed in the first two words of the packet, little room is left at the beginning of the packet for op code bits, op[3:0], which identify the type of memory operation to be performed (e.g., page mode access). However, as the memory operation type needs to be determined in order to perform the memory operation, the op code bits need to be transmitted early in the packet. In the packet format of the present invention, the BusCtl line and the most significant bit of the Data signal line, BusData[8], are utilized to transmit the op code bits. The bits are transmitted within the first 4 words of the packet, coincident with the transmission of the memory address. Preferably the memory operation types are coded in such a manner that the bits transmitted coincident with the lower order bits of the memory address indicate whether a page mode memory operation is to be performed.
At bus cycle zero, the BusCtl line is used to indicate the start of the packet.
When multiple devices are transmitting on a bus, the possibility of packet collisions exists. Many different techniques are employed to avoid the concurrent transmission of multiple packets on a bus. For example, the master devices keep track of all pending transactions, so that each master device knows when it can send a request packet and access the corresponding response. However, the master devices will occasionally transmit independent request packets during the same bus cycle. Those multiple requests will collide as each master device drives the bus simultaneously with different information, resulting in scrambled request information. Prior art techniques for detecting and responding to collision detection generally have been found to be too slow for high speed buses. Thus a mechanism for the detection of packet collisions on high speed buses is needed.
Typically two types of collisions will occur: those which are completely aligned in which two or more master devices start transmission at exactly the same cycle, and those which are unaligned in which two or more master devices start transmission at different cycles which are close enough together to cause overlap of the request packets. In PCT international patent application number PCT/US91/02590 filed Apr. 16, 1991, published Oct. 31, 1991, and entitled Integrated Circuit I/O Using a High Performance Bus Interface, collisions were detected by the master devices and signals indicating the existence of the collision were subsequently sent by the master devices to the slave devices. This technique requires the master devices to process the detection of a collision and drive the bus to notify the slave devices in a very short period of time. To eliminate need for the master device to notify the slave device of the collision, the master devices and the slave devices detect and process the existence of a collision in parallel.
Additional bits of the packet are preallocated to store a code which identifies the master device transmitting the packet. This is illustrated in the packet format shown in FIG. 4. At bus cycles 4 and 5, the processor device code, Master[3:0] is transmitted. If two master devices issue packet requests starting at the same bus cycle, the master device code, Master[3:0], will be logically ORed together resulting in a different code. This is detected in parallel by the master devices and slave devices which are monitoring the bus signal lines. The slave devices immediately respond by discarding the packets received and an arbitration is performed to determine priority of master device access to the bus for retransmission of the request packets.
An unaligned collision condition arises when a first master device issues a request packet a cycle 0 and a second master device issues a later packet starting, for example, at cycle 2 of the first request packet, thereby overlapping the first request packet. This will occur as the bus operates at high speeds, and the logic in the second master device may not be fast enough to detect a request initiated by the first master at cycle 0 and delay its own request. As the collision occurs during the later clock cycles of the first packet, it is critical that the slave device receiving the request know of the collision before completion of transmission of the request packet so that the packet can be discarded before the slave device responds to the request. The high speed of the bus increases the difficulty of the master device timely notifying the slave device of the occurrence of a collision. Therefore a second innovative collision detection mechanism is used for unaligned collisions. The BusCtl signal line is used at the first bus cycle to indicate the start of a packet. Referring to
The BusCtl line is monitored by the slave devices as well as the master devices to detect collisions. The BusCtl line at bus cycles at which a subsequent packet may be initiated are normally driven to a low or off state. In the present embodiment, packets are initiated on even clock cycles; therefore the BusCtl line during clock cycles 2 and 4 are normally driven to a low or off state. When a collision occurs, the BusCtl line at one or both cycles will be driven to an on or one state due to the overlap of the data, specifically the start packet signal of a subsequent packet. Both master devices and slave devices monitor BusCtl for information such as the start of the packet. Upon detecting an on or one state at cycles 2 and/or 4, the slave devices immediately know that a collision has occurred and eliminate the packet being received. Thus there is no requirement for the master device to notify the slave device, no delay in responding to a collision and no possibility that the transmission of the packet is completed before the slave device is notified of the collision.
The master devices also monitor the BusCtl signal line for the occurrence of a packet collision. Upon detection of an on state at cycle 2 and/or 4, the transmitting master devices will arbitrate access to the bus and retransmit the packets to ensure accurate transmission of the packets. Thus, the technique described enables the slave devices to immediately detect the occurrence of a collision and discard the packets before the slave devices respond to the requests.
The encoding and decoding of the number of bytes or "count" for a memory operation also plays a significant role in decreasing the latency of processing the transaction. In the high speed bus which utilizes the packet format of the present invention, a balance is achieved between the number of bits required to encode the byte count for the memory transaction and the complexity of logic at the receiver interface of the memory device and the speed of operating the same. Referring to
To simplify the implementation of the receivers of the memory devices as well as reduce the die size of the receiver and decrease the latency for processing bus transactions, data is accessed in the memory in groups of four bytes, referred to herein as "quadbytes". Although the discussion below is directed to the transmission of data in quadbytes, it will be obvious to one skilled in the art from reading the following discussion that the concepts can be extended to any multiple byte organization.
The count bits not only identify the number of bytes to be transmitted starting at the identified memory address, but also the location of the bytes in the quadbyte transmitted. For example, the memory address of the request identifies a location within a quadbyte. To eliminate those bytes not requested, the memory device will mask out the unwanted bytes. The mask is also determined from the count value. In the preferred embodiment, the memory device masks out unwanted bytes during write transactions. During read transactions all bytes of the quadbyte are transferred across the bus. The processor then eliminates those bytes of the first and last quadbyte received which were not requested. This is preferred because this simplifies the implementation of the data path inside the memory devices. For example, in the preferred embodiment, this eliminates the need for a space consuming and time consuming data alignment network to insure proper sequencing of individual bytes. The additional logic that would be required to support the masking and other functions, such as the data alignment network, at the memory devices contributes to increasing the complexity of the chip as well as increasing the die size. However, it should be realized that the memory device can be configured to perform masking operations on both read and write transactions in order to eliminate any unwanted bytes of quadbytes prior to transmission across the bus.
A processor wishing to formulate a memory request will have an internal byte address. MasterAddress[35:0] and an internal byte length. MasterCount[7:0] for the data to be transferred pursuant to the request. Using offset-by-one encoding the convention used is as follows: MasterCount [7:0]=00000000 indicates one byte and MasterCount[7:0]=11111111 indicates 256 bytes. The processor converts these internal values into the values for the request packet according to the following:
Overflow Count[7:0]=MasterAddress[1:0]+MasterCount[7:0]
The result of adding MasterAddress[1:0] to MasterCount [7:0] serves several purposes. First, the overflow field indicates to the requesting processor device that although the size of its request is less than the maximum number of bytes allowed in a transaction, the quadbyte granularity does not allow this to occur and the request should be separated into two separate transactions. Second, the sum produces a count of the number of quadbytes to be transmitted in Count[7:2], which is the granularity of the basic data transport units of the bus. Third, it provides an index in Count[1:0] to the last byte to be transported during the last quadbyte of the data packet.
Because the processor supplies the index of the last byte to be transported, the memory device does not need to perform any index arithmetic but instead need only perform a table lookup of the mask data plus a simple logic operation. This reduces the critical path by eliminating the carry chain of the addition. Although the operation is performed by the requesting processor, the processor, unlike the memory device, can typically overlap the addition with other operations such that the effect is minimized. A significant implementation advantage is achieved which simplifies the receiver of the memory devices by performing the addition at the processor. Typically there are more memory devices than processor devices. It is therefore advantageous to decrease the die size and logic complexity in each of the memory devices in exchange for modestly increasing the complexity of the processor devices to perform this functionality.
The bits Address[1:0] and Count[1:0] are used to generate the masks for the first and last quadbytes of the memory request. The masks are used to determine which bytes within a quadbyte are to be read or written. Masks of varying values are generated only for the first and last quadbytes because all the bytes of the intervening quadbytes will be part of the transaction and the masks therefore have a value of 1111.
Specifically, by placing count bits 6, 4, 2 at bus cycle 4 of the packet and count bits 7, 5, 3 at bus cycle 5 of the packet and respectively on the same signal lines as count bits 6, 4, 2, the amount of wiring needed to interconnect the bits with the logic which processes the count bits is decreased. This saving is reflected in the decrease of the die size. In particular, a carry function is utilized to process the count bits. This is simply and efficiently implemented at bits 2 and 3, 4 and 5, 6 and 7, are aligned, eliminating the need to wire for the carry operation between the bits 2 and 3, 4 and 5, 6 and 7.
While the invention has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiment, it is evident that numerous alternatives, modifications, variations and uses will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description.

Studies, as well as common sense, indicate that interactivity helps the learner retain information as well as increasing the learner's willingness to spend time with the material. 2003). The Advantages of Interactivity. There are many advantages of having learners interact with the subject matter they are learning. In fact, Michael Grahame Moore editor of the American Journal of Distance Education, writes that interactivity between a learner and the content is "the defining characteristic of education.

Value of Investment (VOI) vs. Return on Investment

As the competitive landscape of higher education shifts and the training industry changes, using a measurement like Return On Investment (ROI) as the only guide for evaluating information technology investments like an LMS or an audience response system is a mistake. Shifting to a "Value on Investment" (VOI) approach provides the necessary forward thinking framework for scoping, prioritizing and initiating information technology projects. 2003) Value on Investment in Higher Education. 2003) Value on Investment in Higher Education.

DALLAS (AP) – Federal officials are seeking a $325,000 penalty against Southwest Airlines Co. over a faulty repair job on an AirTran jet in 2011.
The Federal Aviation Administration on Monday said the company operated a Boeing 717 on 1,140 flights after maintenance workers improperly installed a switch designed to let pilots test the windshield heating system, which is used to prevent ice buildup.
Dallas-based Southwest, which bought AirTran in 2011, has 30 days to respond.
Southwest spokeswoman Brandy King says the installation error didn't compromise safety because it was an extra system. The primary system for alerting crews to a potential window-heater malfunction was still working. The mistake was immediately fixed upon discovery.

"Tony...hey Tony." Tim shakes his friend's shoulder and smiles as the senior agent blinks up at him.
"Tim? What?" Tony rubs his eyes and Tim goes over to the window. "You wanted to get up now and Ms. S. Violet is back. She just walked in the house." He says as he surreptitiously watches Tony stretch before the other man heads into the restroom for a quick shower and shave. Turning his attention back to their assignment, Tim adjusts his jeans wondering just when he'd started seeing Tony as something other than a partner. Has his love life or lack thereof turned him gay?
"I still think her name should be plum." Tony says as he comes out of the restroom dressed in just a towel as he rubs another one over his hair. Tim chuckles as he slides another glance at his partner. Tony's abs aren't quite as well defined as they used to be, and there are a few gray hairs on the other man's chest, but it's what is under the towel that is capturing Tim's attention and he chuckles again to hide his involuntary reaction when Tony starts to pull the towel off and put dry clothes on.
"You're thinking of Clue again aren't you? Well this little mouse of ours is definitely not shrinking much. She's not very shy either. I've watched her and it's clear that she's up to something. I'm still running a program to try and decipher what it is. For now, she's in the kitchen making herself a late night snack."
"Do you think it's a cheese sandwich? You keep calling her a mouse." Tony says as he puts a hand on Tim's shoulder letting him know he's ready to take over. He frowns as Tim jumps slightly from the light contact.
"Hmm...well Fornell called her a mouse or a shrinking violet. From what I've seen, she might be more of a cougar, but the last time we saw one of those, well I won't bother you as I'm sure you've had enough heckling about it over the years."
Tim yawns and Tony shakes his head as he looks at the time. Tim had actually let him sleep for about two extra hours and not woken him at 21:00. Gibbs and Ziva were following a different lead while Tim and Tony kept surveillance on the house. They'd come into the case late as it was, no thanks to Fornell and the FBI keeping them in the dark about it for so long.
Forty eight hours ago:
"Gibbs! Need to talk to you, my office." Vance had been quiet most of the week, handing out assignments to the teams sparingly during this last week of moving. None of the teams had had much to do aside from being patient as their equipment disappeared from the Navy Yard and was subsequently set up at their new offices in Quantico. Driving from one to the other was a pain in the proverbial ass, so Team Gibbs and Team Balboa had both volunteered to stay at the Yard while the other teams got the new offices set up, and Vance had tried to make it so that they wouldn't have to do much more than cold cases, something they could use a laptop for rather than their desktops. Most of the computers in cybercrimes and MTAC were outdated enough that they didn't have to be moved and would be cleaned and scrapped once the teams were out completely.
Abby was almost completely set up with all her specialized forensic equipment and was excitedly emailing or texting them about the new equipment she was working with too. Ducky and Jimmy had a bit more to do as they made sure that the Autopsy Room at Quantico was spic and span. Ducky and Jimmy were both double checking with all the agencies to make sure there were no surprise guests waiting for them upon their arrival.
As for Team Gibbs, this is their first assignment in days and they leaped at the chance to get out even for a few hours. Admittedly the FBI and Fornell had delayed in telling them about it, but the newest killing had been a Marine and Fornell called Vance to let him know.
"We've been trying to catch her in the act so to speak. She was almost beneath our radar until this last murder happened."
"Why?" Gibbs asked quietly.
"She was the last one to see him alive. He hadn't been home more than 12 hours. We know she's involved but we haven't been able to prove it."
"Our case then or joint?" Gibbs looks at Vance who in turn looks at Fornell.
"Up until the Marine was killed it was solely an FBI case. Now we need to work together, or at least have your team keep us updated as you do tend to find things quicker than we can sometimes." Tobias looks at Gibbs who nods slowly.
"Where have you been doing surveillance from?" Gibbs question is interrupted by Vance.
"Can you two work together outside of my office?"
Both men smile and walk out to the squad room where three pairs of eyes look up from laptops. "Gear up! Tobias is with me. You three follow us and DiNozzo you're driving, McGee bring your laptop."
As his team hastens to comply Gibbs takes Tobias into the nearest conference room and gets more details. By the time the team leader rejoins them, Fornell is nowhere to be seen and Gibbs is furious to say the least. Tony quietly motions for Ziva to go with Gibbs while he and Tim follow behind.
Gibbs waits until they're all in the garage before telling them what he's found out. "They've supposedly been doing surveillance in shifts. However, she slipped past them four hours ago. Tony, you and Tim go set up in a house across the street. There's an empty one that's for rent. It's supposedly a gay neighborhood; can you two pull off being lovers for a few days and not kill each other in the process?" Gibbs didn't wait for an answer as he continues.
"Ziva and I will set up in the hotel where Lance Corporal McGruff was found."
"Wasn't McGruff a crime dog?" DiNozzo quips and winces as Gibbs smacks him in the head.
"Go home pack your bags for at least a two night stay. Here's the address of the house you'll be renting while you're there."
"Will two nights be enough boss?" Tim asks and receives his own headslap this time from Tony.
"Think laundromat McQuery and let's go. We've got at least a six hour drive ahead of us."
By the time they arrive, another eight hours pass. One of packing and confirming just where they were setting up at, six hours of driving and another hour buying enough groceries to last a few days. Tim also brings two airbeds with bedding, just in case the house isn't furnished the first night. As they pull up to the house and start bringing their gear inside, Tony sighs knowing that there probably won't be a television set and is surprised when Tim pulls out a separate laptop with several DVD's in the case.
"I could kiss you McGee!" Tony says and proceeds to do just that. There is clapping from an unknown source and both men turn to see a couple of men standing outside the door and to their left.
"I'm Hank this is Tom. We're your neighbors two doors down." Hank has his hand extended and Tony shakes it while Tim blushes.
"You two newlyweds so to speak?" Hank asks and Tony nods.
"Yeah, we finally got a break from work and wanted to see about housing. It's not been easy keeping our relationship from everyone these past few years and Timmy here saw an ad about the house so we thought we'd come check it out. I'm Tony by the way."
Tom looks at Tim who is still blushing. "You don't get a lot of public exposure. It's okay kid; we're all on the same side here so to speak. Nothing to be embarrassed about, and you'll get used to seeing us around. We're part of the neighborhood watch."
"Really?" Tony asks and looks at the houses surrounding them.
"Yeah, we've got quite a few couples that have just moved in actually. You guys are the finishing touch I guess you'd say. Not that it's anything bad. Most of the couples on this side of the block are men. The women are actually at the far end of the block where we can help protect them. The only exception is the couple that are across the street from you two." Tom says as he points out the women's housing.
"What makes them the exception?" Tim asks as he accepts Tom's handshake.
"They're the Taylors, the only traditional couple I guess you'd say. He works all night and she works all day. We don't see too much of him actually, but they seemed nice enough. "
Tim and Tony say nothing and to Tony's pride, Tim manages to keep his poker face on. They'd been told that there was no couple across the street. Just the woman, Ms. S. Violet. Not a woman and a man. And there had been no mention of a Mr. Taylor. Since finding out about the couple, he and Tim have been taking turns spending eight hours each, watching for Mr. Taylor to leave or even arrive home but so far, only Ms. S. Violet as Fornell called her, has left the house.
Tim yawns again and Tony tells him to get some sleep. "Okay, hey Tony, did you know Taylor or t-a-i-l-o-r actually is a synonym for plumb or plumber?"
Tim falls asleep and Tony thinks about that for a few minutes then pulls out a pad and pen as he starts scribbling. An hour later, he's on the phone to Gibbs who smiles as he tips his coffee cup to his senior agent.
"Good job you two. Stay there, keep an eye on the house. If it's what I think, she's trolling for business and it's not plumbing Tony. Tell McGee good work on that aspect." Gibbs hangs up and then curses as he thinks about what his agents might have actually stumbled into. He calls Ziva as he races down the stairs then calls Vance and Fornell. He's about to call Tony when his phone rings and he almost shuts it again when he hears Tony asking someone Gibbs can't see to call the police.
Tony sighs as he hangs up on Gibbs and looks down at the sleeping form on the bed. He hasn't told anyone about his feelings for Tim. How they've changed over the years from an almost big brother to that of lover. The kiss he'd given Tim upon their arrival didn't help matters any either. If not for the timely arrival of Tom and Hank, (he still gets a chuckle out of that coincidence) he knows he could have exposed a lot more than just gratitude. He glances out the window and frowns.
They haven't seen Mr. Taylor and according to Fornell's information there hasn't been one in the neighborhood since the FBI set up surveillance. What if there wasn't one. What if Ms. Violet, or Ms. Plum as Tony likes to think of her, what if she had gotten rid of Mr. Taylor? Tim's words from earlier that night come back to him. The game of Clue, Ms. Plum, in a library or study or...
"Clue...Ms Plum with a pipe wrench. McGruff had been killed with a plumber's implement. Ducky managed to confirm it. Only instead of the study she did it in a hotel suite."
He turns to Tim who is still sleeping peacefully and reluctantly shakes him awake. As Tim blinks up at him Tony puts a hand over his mouth and motions towards the house across the street. Tim nods instantly knowing that Tony wants to have back up as they go check out the house across the street. Out of habit, Tim pulls out his cell phone and hits the speed dial for Gibbs as he follows Tony outside.
The call hasn't quite gone through when they see Tom and Hank making their rounds and Tony motions for the two neighborhood watch commanders to call the police. Hank pulls out his cell phone while Tom asks Tony what is going on.
"No one has seen Mr. Taylor since they moved in? We think Mrs. Taylor might be a murderer. She's the main suspect in another murder investigation."
Tom looks at Hank who smiles grimly. Both men pull out weapons and Tim and Tony slowly back up. Tim stealthily hides his phone behind nearby bush while Tony stares at Tom who shrugs before saying, "We knew someone would figure it out, just didn't expect it to be you two. Hey Petunia, time to go honey!"
Hank then motions for Petunia to come forward. The woman is swearing as she brings out two bulging suitcases and throws them at Hank who laughs at her as he loads them into a nearby car. With two backs turned and Tom distracted, the two NCIS agents pounce. Gibbs listens grimly as his two men fight for their lives. He's not sure just how Tim managed to avoid getting his phone taken away, but withholds his words until he can get to his men and provide them with backup. Within minutes he's screeching to a halt and laughs silently as he listens to Tony breathing hard as he tells the three culprits,
"You know, you might have gotten away with it, but between the two of us, you've got two Clue masters."
All three of the others look blankly at Tony and Tim who smile through their bumps and bruises. Gibbs laughs again as he shakes his head. Only Tony could put things together the way that he does.
"Professor Plum did it with a pipe wrench in the library or in this case the hotel suite. Plum being purple or violet and tailor being a plumbing synonym. Oh and petunias can be violet or purple too. Nice play on words, but not near intelligent enough to get past the team of DiNozzo and McGee."
Tim rolls his eyes at his partner and Gibbs frowns when the younger agent winces. "You okay Tim?"
"Yeah, boss a bit bumped and bruised but I'll survive." Tim answers softly and Gibbs stares at him. Tim blushes as he looks away from his boss's all-knowing gaze.
Then Gibbs looks at Tony who is trying really hard to keep his gaze off of Tim. Sighing in resignation, knowing without the words being said that his agents need time to talk to each other he motions for Ziva, who finishes gathering their equipment and shuts the door behind her.
Gibbs then dials Tony's phone. "Hey DiNozzo, you've got an extra 52 hours and a free hotel room; tell him how you feel. It's gonna take that long for me to finish tearing that strip off of Fornell." Click!
Tony gulps as he hangs up. He should have known Gibbs would figure it out. He smiles as he realizes just what Gibbs said, and gently ushers Tim into their car. Driving back to Gibbs' hotel he uses the key card that he finds on the seat beside him and together the two agents head up to the room that has been set aside for them. Tim is listing to one side and Tony frowns until he realizes that Tim really hasn't had a lot of sleep the past few hours.
"Come on Timmy, let's get you put to bed." Tony says softly as he steers Tim towards what is now their room. Tim sighs as he sinks down onto the soft mattress. Tony watches as he almost falls over backwards and stops him before he can.
"Hey, strip down to your boxers, you know how you hate to sleep in your clothes." Tony says and Tim nods. When Tim's eyes start closing before he even gets his shirt unbuttoned, Tony sighs and nudges him gently. Tim lays his head on Tony's shoulder not protesting as the older man quickly and efficiently strips him.
"Thanks Tony," Tim murmurs as his head finally hits the pillow. Tony finishes stripping down to his own boxers and slips into bed behind Tim, smiling as Tim grabs his arm, wrapping it around his waist.
"You're welcome, Probie." Tony says as he pulls the covers up over them. With his arm securely around Tim's waist, he tugs Tim into his embrace, smiling as Tim willingly turns in his sleep, and tucks his head under Tony's chin.
A few hours later, Tony wakens and finds nimble fingers lightly tracing over his chest. Tony inhales slightly when those same fingers slip under the waist band of his boxers and slowly, gently fold around him. Sleepy green eyes blink up at him asking silently if he wants their owner to continue and Tony nods as he traces Tim's face.
Tipping Tim's face up to his own, Tony leans in and gives Tim their first real kiss. Tim is relaxed as he returns the kiss then turns his attention to where his hand is. He looks at Tony and whispers, "You wanna return the favor?"
Tony chuckles as he slips his hand inside Tim's boxers and the younger man sighs as Tony's slightly callused fingers cup around him. Tony nibbles on Tim's neck as he fondles the sac in his hand. "How do you manage to hide this McPackage?"
Tim slightly tightens his grip before sliding his hand lower and cupping Tony's own package. Tony inhales as Tim nips his ear. "I had a good teacher, his name is DiNutso" and Tony groans as a finger traces around his lower head.
Hours later, sated in ways he hadn't thought possible, Tony wraps his arms once more around the man he calls partner and friend. Tim is lying with his head on Tony's chest, listening as both their heartbeats return to normal.
Tracing a path on Tim's cheek, smiling as Tim returns the favor on his chest, Tony whispers, "Probie took on a whole new meaning tonight."
Tim whispers back, "It's another synonym for plumb."
They both giggle as exhaustion overtakes them and they finally fall asleep.
Two weeks later: Tony saunters into their new squad room and smiles when he sees his partner, lover and friend already hard at work making sure their new computers are up and running smoothly. Remembering when a green probie had first caught his attention by using the word Trojan in a computer context he leans down and whispers, "Do you kiss your mother with that mouth Probie?"
Tim immediately knows what he's referring to and sits back on his heels, green eyes sparkling as he whispers back, "No, but I kiss my lover with it." Accepting Tony's hand up off the floor, he heads over to his desk and Tony watches admiringly as the new slacks tighten over Tim's buttocks. Tim then straightens and hands Tony a bag. Frowning as he knows it's not his birthday or Tim's, he looks inquiringly at the younger man who smiles as he says, "Wanna play Clue tonight?"
Inside the bag are a dozen purple plums and Tony bursts out laughing as he nods in acceptance.

Yumm!! This is similar to my "tuna surprise" dip, except I add a few drops of liquid smoke to the mix and thin it out with a little milk so it's easier to scoop. Delish! With the added smoke, people always ask if it's smoked salmon dip:)
Very easy and tasty I added some salsa for some variety and served with assorted cracker . It went over very well with my guests ..
This is really simple, and I made it with what I had on hand. It tastes really good. Its a hearty dip, and I enjoyed this one very much!

I apologize for not reviewing that but I simply had to get to this one, so all I did was quickly place it on my favorites list then get to this one (which will also be going on my favorites list).
Regardless of the order of updating I do hope that you'll get to this story eventually, I can't wait to see how it turns out (I'm cheering on Obito and his revenge on Naruto's behalf). Keep up the great work and keep protecting Naruto, Iruka!

Elvis Sings Flaming Starby Elvis Presley
In the spring of 1969, after a trough of several years, the public finally seemed genuinely interested in Elvis Presley again -- the NBC special had been broadcast, the first of the Memphis-based, Chips Moman-produced comeback albums was about to be released, he was being heard on the radio again, and it probably seemed like a good idea to test the waters with some budget-priced product. That's the only possible explanation for the existence of Elvis Sings Flaming Star, a low-priced LP that showed up in the late winter of 1969, encompassing songs drawn from across eight years of Elvis' recording history. Even more astonishing is how this seemingly haphazard assembly of material -- including a title song (from one of his best movies) that had not previously appeared on an LP, a live cut from the 1968 NBC special, and a two-song Texas medley that would be completely embarrassing in the hands of anyone else -- holds up as well as it did. It is the voice, of course, that matters here -- Presley's singing was so good at the points captured on this nothing-seeming little budget release that he could make even the most dubious song seem worth two minutes of one's time. And on "Too Much Monkey Business" and "She's a Machine" you even get the hard, edgy side of Elvis that had been obscured by too many third-rate movie songs. The rock music critics who were around in 1969 were never quite sure what to make of this album because it was a given that it was nothing but the most superficial scratching of the surface of that library, yet time has allowed it to age well, as a strange and idiosyncratic (but strangely satisfying on its own terms) compilation. If it added nothing to his reputation in 1969, then it at least offered an inexpensive way for the curious and the unfamiliar to get a smattering of some of his work that was otherwise mostly unavailable at the time.
