The present invention relates to a method and a device for instruction decoding in a digital processor.
An execution unit of a computer such as a microprocessor sometimes includes support for a trace function. Tracing is used by an assembler programmer to follow the execution of a program executed by the processor. When a trace condition is met, information on the current state of registers in the processor is output to a printer connected to the microprocessor or to a file in some mass storage used by the microprocessor.
A trace condition can be a multitude of different things, or in other words, there are many different events that can trigger the trace function. Example of such events can be:
the execution of every instruction;
the execution of only such instructions which include a jump that is taken;
the execution of only instructions having an assembler address matching an address entered into a monitoring system for the trace condition;
that a task or job is finished or that the execution of a program module is finished or that a switch from one job to another job is done, such as for an interrupt condition.
The trace function is used when debugging a program executed in the microprocessor. The trace function then enables the assembler programmer or "debugger", i.e. the person who has the task of correcting errors in the written program code, to follow the program flow which is made by e.g. checking whether an instruction at a certain address is executed or not. The trace function is a very powerful tool when debugging. A trace function can generally be implemented by modifying the original program code by introducing suitable instructions called break-points. However, such an introduction of additional instructions will change the length of the program and also highly affect the timing of the execution of the different instructions of the program code. Microprocessors having built-in tracing functions allow a tracing to be made without affecting the original program code, not changing the time required for executing instructions as much as in the case where additional break-instructions have to be entered in the code.
A microprocessor of the type having a high performance and operating at high speed conventionally has an execution core which in most cases uses microcode, which comprises microinstructions or microinstruction codes. The microinstructions are thus the instructions which are actually executed by the execution core or arithmetic and logical core of the processor. The microinstructions are obtained by translating the original program code in an instruction decoder comprised in the processor, before actually executing the instructions in the execution core. In order that a microprocessor shall support tracing, this function is generally incorporated in the microcode, which thus comprises support for enabling the trace functions. In a microprocessor allowing tracing usually a master signal is used for enabling all types of traces, this master signal being called a trace enable signal.
Furthermore, when executing microcode in a microprocessor having a trace function, the processor has to check all microinstructions in the microcode for the trace conditions. Such constant checking costs a share of the execution time of the processor even in the case where the trace condition is not enabled, since then at least the trace enable signal has to be checked for each microinstruction.
This may even result in that the microcode or microprogram has to contain additional microinstructions in order to check whether the trace function is enabled or not. The existence of such additional microinstructions naturally cause delays compared to the case where they are not included in the microcode. Such delays will then somewhat slow down the computer and will reduce its performance, and are hence generally not desired.
For processors e.g. used for special purposes there may also occur that other conditions or control signals have to influence the decoding or translating of program instructions into microinstructions. Thus, the translating of a program instruction signifying "End Of Job" can result in different microinstructions depending on the situation, i.e. whether this instruction signifies the end of a local or a global job or signifies the start of a new job.
In the published International patent application WO 92/02883 parallel-processing systems are disclosed, in which each of a plurality of processors receives the same microcode instructions. Each processor has an instruction decode logic circuit. The decode circuit also receives a condition signal derived from internal and/or external signals, so that the circuit will decode conditional instructions differently in dependence upon the condition signal. As specified on pages 55-58 the microcodes are thus extended by one extra condition bit. Such an addition will obviously require a more complex decoding of microinstructions when actually executing them which results in a lower processing rate.
In U.S. Pat. No. 5,617,574 a data processing device is disclosed in which conditional instructions in the conventional way can test status bits.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and a device for providing a versatile translation of program instructions to be executed by a processor to microinstructions used by the core of the processor.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a method and a device by means of which the delay problem associated with having additional microinstructions inside the microprogram for checking whether the trace function is active is reduced.
A problem to be solved by the invention is thus how to arrange the decoding of "ordinary" program instructions into microinstructions in a way which will cause as little delays as possible for a processor having an optional tracing function.
The objects as mentioned above and others are generally obtained by supplementing the instruction decoder of a microcomputer with at least one additional signal, which signal indicates a state of the computer or of the processing made in the computer, such as whether or not a trace function is used. Depending on the value or values of the at least one additional signal, e.g. depending on whether the trace function is used or not, the decoding of the operation codes is altered so that for at least one input instruction different microinstructions are executed for different values of the at least one signal, i.e. in the respective particular case, so that for the state comprising that tracing is used at least one input instruction is translated to a microinstruction different from that microinstruction into which it would have been translated in the case where tracing is not enabled.
This results in the particular case as described above in that when the supplementary trace signal is switched off a microprogram not using trace functions or trace checks is run in the computer or microprocessor, and if the trace signal is switched on other microinstructions, supporting the trace function are executed by the computer. By not using microinstructions supporting a trace function, when such a function is not needed, execution time in the processor is saved, which in turn increases the performance of the computer, the computer still allowing that the trace function can be enabled when required or wanted.
Hence, the start address of a microcode sequence corresponding to an assembler instruction is determined by the operation code found in the assembler instruction. If the operation code is extended by a bit controlled by a signal, a trace enable signal, it is possible to execute two different microcode sequences depending on if the trace function is enabled or not.
The microcode, which is run when trace enable is set, checks for all trace conditions, while the other sequence does not have to check for trace at all. This arrangement therefore increases the capacity when trace is not enabled.
Additional objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the methods, processes, instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
While the novel features of the invention are set forth with particularly in the appended claims, a complete understanding of the invention, both as to organization and content, and of the above and other features thereof may be gained from and the invention will be better appreciated from a consideration of the following detailed description of non-limiting embodiments presented hereinbelow with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a part of a microcomputer;
FIG. 2 is a picture illustrating the table look-up carried out in the microprogram decoder in FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is a schematic picture illustrating a controllable table look-up function.
In the block diagram of FIG. 1 a microcomputer is illustrated, having a memory 7 connected to a central processing unit, CPU 9. In particular the essential parts of a code translating unit 31 are shown, which is included in the CPU 9 together with an arithmetic/logic unit 33 performing the very execution of microinstructions. The translating unit 31 has two parallel data paths, A and B, which make a preprocessing of the instructions to be executed in the arithmetic/logic unit 33, preparing the instructions and delivering them so that the arithmetic/logic unit 33 can execute them as fast as possible. Each path to A and B has an instruction partitioning unit 35, an instruction decoding unit 37 and a buffer unit 39, the choice of current path selected being controlled by a control unit 41, one for each path A and B.
The instruction partitioning unit 35 has a buffer 43, the instruction cache memory, for four lines of program code, each line containing 128 bits or eight words, these lines always holding successive data as fetched from successive positions in the memory 7. The partitioning unit 35 also comprises an execution block 47 for making the very partitioning by inspecting the instruction codes for determining the length of the instructions, the partitioning block 47 delivering at each clock cycle an instruction to an instruction register 48.
In the decoding unit 37 parameters of an instruction are extracted in a unit 51. The operation code of the instruction is extracted in a block 53 and it is used as an input address of a decoding table 55, listing the addresses of the microcode instructions to be actually used by the arithmetic/logic unit 33. The determined microinstructions are transmitted to a buffer 57 for four instructions in the buffer unit 39.
The two pipelining paths A, B are joined by a selector unit 59 which selects the correct path for the next instruction depending on the result of executed and/or predicted jump instructions, sending the next instruction to the arithmetic/logic unit 33.
The program code translation unit 31 is controlled by various signals, illustrated by the control or state signal block 61. In particular there is a signal indicating whether the trace condition is on or off, this signal being shown symbolically by the subblock 63.
The instruction decoding unit 37 is directly connected to the instruction register 48, in particular the operation code portion of the instruction being provided on direct lines to the decoding block 53. The operation of the decoding block is schematically illustrated in FIG. 2, in which the operation code portion of the instruction register 48 is represented as by the block 65. In the considered embodiment the operation code comprises 9 bits at the least significant end of an instruction and the corresponding 9 lines from the instruction register 48 are extended by one additional line carrying the signal indicating the trace condition, see block 63. The signals on the resulting ten lines are used as inputs for accessing a microinstruction table 55, comprising a list of all microinstruction codes used. 210 microinstruction codes can be used and each microinstruction has a position or address in the table. That microinstruction having a position or address matching that signalled on said ten lines is selected.
This selection process and the table can be made by providing e.g. a large logical gating network, having a rather large depth, i.e. having a multitude of logical levels, the network corresponding the table as outlined in FIG. 2. It will then obviously take some time until the selected microinstruction is provided on the output lines of the decoding unit 53. Adding a bit to the original operation code in the decoding will then result in that the table look-up will be somewhat slower and will also increase the complexity of the circuits actually performing the look-up. However, this will not degrade the over-all performance of the pipelining paths, in particular considering the conventional construction of always testing the trace enable signal when making the table look-up.
When using the method and device as described above, the microcode instructions executed when the trace enable signal is switched off will not comprise any trace supporting instructions and will therefore be executed relatively fast. If, on the other hand the trace enable signal is enabled, microcode instructions supporting a trace function will be executed and the execution will therefore be slower.
Finally, other signals than a trace enable signal may of course also be provided to the instruction decoder for signalling other conditions which change the choice of microinstruction corresponding to an original instruction as received from the memory 7. Thus generally, such a signal can be arranged to dynamically change the instruction decoding in response to the states of the signals applied thereto. Hence, different microinstruction may be addressed by the same operation code depending on the state of such a signal, whereby the microprogram can be optimized for the different states in which the computer is run at a particular moment, which will in turn increase the performance of the computer in some cases. An example of such a state which can benefit from the use of a dynamic instruction decoding can be a computer having different number representations, in which case different parts of the microprogram memory can be addressed depending on the number representation used at a considered occasion. Another example is the instruction "End Of Job" briefly discussed above.
This case in which more than one signal is used for controlling the translation into microinstructions is schematically illustrated by FIG. 3. Here the lines carrying a program operation code from the instruction register 48 are connected as inputs to a selector 67. The selector is controlled by state signals provided to a control unit 69 included in the selector 67. The control unit can be combinatorial circuit. In accordance with the control the selector 67 connects the input lines for a table look-up to one of parallel tables 71, which contain the microinstruction codes for the various cases of the values of the input state signals. This design results in a very versatile translation operation that can also be changed relatively easily.
While specific embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described herein, it is realized that numerous additional advantages, modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific details, representative devices and illustrated examples shown and described herein. Accordingly, various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the general inventive concept as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. It is therefore to be understood that the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications and changes as fall within a true spirit and scope of the invention.

- Mrs May has been increasingly tipped as a successor to the Prime Minister
- Mr Gove 'shocked' that ministers are positioning themselves as leaders
- Tory strategy guru briefed ministers that victory in 2015 election is possible
- But he told them this could be undermined by a 'lack of discipline'
Michael Gove 'tore a strip' off Theresa May yesterday in an extraordinary Cabinet clash over speculation about David Cameron's leadership.
The Education Secretary erupted during an exchange with the 'disloyal' Home Secretary, who has been increasingly tipped as a successor to the Prime Minister.
Embarrassed colleagues watched on as Mr Gove, who is fiercely loyal to Mr Cameron, said he had been 'shocked' to see some ministers apparently positioning themselves for a future leadership race.
Confrontation: Michael Gove erupted during an exchange with Theresa May at a Conservative Cabinet minister briefing accusing her of being 'disloyal' to David Cameron during the 'extremely pointed intervention'
One minister present at the meeting told the Daily Mail that Mr Gove – who has also been touted as a potential future leader – said suggestions that Mrs May was backing Mr Cameron but was being 'realistic' by preparing for the possibility of his departure after an election defeat in 2015 were 'extremely disloyal'.
The outburst came after the Tories' new strategy guru Lynton Crosby, who masterminded both of Boris Johnson's election victories in London, had addressed Conservative Cabinet ministers on how victory for the party in 2015 was possible – but would be undermined by 'lack of discipline'.
They were told to focus on key areas that showed the Tories were 'on the side of people who work hard and want to get on'.
Potential: The Tories' new strategy guru Lynton Crosby told minsters that they can win a general election in 2015 if they are not undermined by a 'lack of discipline'
Achievements they agreed to highlight include a cap on benefits, a reduction in net immigration by a third, the deficit down by a quarter, a reduction in crime, a £600 tax cut for 24 million working people and a freeze in council tax.
'Then Michael erupted,' said the minister. 'He said he'd been out of the country and had been shocked to see some people round the table had been participating in this leadership speculation.
'He'd been particularly upset by people around Theresa May apparently saying that they didn't want David Cameron to stop being Prime Minister but that they had to be realistic and prepare for the possibility of losing the next election and him going.
He said he thought this was extremely disloyal and not the way to go about doing things.
'It was an extremely pointed intervention, of a sort I haven't seen before in Cabinet.'
At the weekend Mrs May electrified activists at a rally by setting out a broad philosophy for victory, ranging way beyond her Home Office brief.
Her speech included a series of references to 'blue-collar' issues including job security, immigration and fuel duty.
She is determined to stop Boris Johnson, who she is said to regard as 'faintly ridiculous', from seizing the Tory crown.
Meanwhile, Mr Johnson yesterday suggested that he might consider a leadership bid after the next election.
Asked at a business conference in France whether he could ever contemplate an attempt to become the Prime Minister, he said: 'After 2016 who knows what will happen?'

Wow as good as all the reviews. A must make and new staple in my house. This was AMAZING. I made it for a friend and she cobbled it all up with a big smile. The fresh lime at the end... YUMMY! A few modifications to spice it up and I prefer to marinade and grill on skewers. Minced 2 teaspoons of fresh ginger instead of 1 1/2, garlic was fresh not powder,minced one whole jalapeno, cayenne is a must, lots of cracked black pepper, squeezed juice of one lime, and a tablespoon of white vinegar. Cubed the chicken and poured it all into a ziplock bag for a fews hours to soak. Grilled on skewers 4 min a side. Cilantro cream sauce- low fat sour cream, 4 teaspoons of lime not 2 and grated lime rind as well. Salt and pepper to taste. Next time I may use a thicker greek type pita as the whole wheat tortilla was a bit flimsy to hold in the cream sauce. Already on the menu for dinner this weekend.
This was okay, but very bland, even after I added/adjusted knowing that I like a bit of spice. I did use fresh garlic and it made a sort of paste with the dry ingredients that DID make a nice rub. The prep time was not close to 15 minutes for me...this took me over an hour start to finish with the slicing, dicing, chicken prep, etc. Maybe if I did some tweaking for my tastes...thank you for sharing the recipe.
I made a tofu version by doubling the spice mixture, adding its volume in flour, coating the tofu and then frying it for 10 minutes. I also added a bit of the spice mixture to the sauce, and served wrapped up in a tortilla. It was pretty good, but I don't think it wound up tasting anything like the meat version is supposed to. Great sauce.
My boyfriend picked this for us to make in a long-distance relationship and I was hesitant.
I actually added far more ginger, spice, and paprika. I added jullianed jalopenos with the peppers and cayenne with the sour cream, just to kick it all up.
What a wonderful recipe and fun to make. You can use the leftovers to make fajitas, or add peanuts, zuccini, and chestnuts for a kung pao! I would recommend this a thousand times again.
These were very good and the only complaint that I got was that the cilantro taste in the sauce was overpowering (and I agree). Everything else was great. I used boneless skinless chicken tenderloins and marinated them for about 4 hours and they definitely soaked up the flavors of the marinade. I was disappointed because of the overpowering cilantro flavor but it wasn't enough to ruin the meal because everyone gobbled it up pretty quickly. I think the next time I make it, I will also marinate the onions and peppers in the sauce and cut way back on the cilantro. Thank you for posting it was pretty yummy!
These were pretty good but not as flavorful as I expected. The chicken does not really seem to absorb the flavors of the spice mixture. I think maybe a true marinade would work better. I cut the chicken in strips, which worked out fine. I would love to try this again, just making a few adjustments. Thanks for sharing!
Reggae Wraps...I added just a tad more Calypso and they were then perfect. :)
Served in pita bread. Used extra sauce throughout the week as salad dressing. Very good.
Very good recipe. It was not near enough spice for us though. I will be doubling or tripling the spices next time. Added garlic to the sauce and it was a welcome addition.

I like the idea of a specialized FPS remote, though my minor suggestion would be to nudge the button cluster down further from the d-pad to stave off accidental presses.

We know there's no accounting for taste, but COME THE EFF ON!
Men's Health Magazine just published their list of the 100 hottest women ever, topped by Jennifer Anniston who had to admit herself that she probably shouldn't have won that title. The list is made up of countless pin-up girls, porn stars, in addition the usual models, actresses and singers one would find on this type of list.
Now, we know that this list wasn't made for "us"… But when Pam Grier, Tina Turner, Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry, Shakira and Beyonce all rank below Britney Spears, we HAVE to call shenanigans.
Flip through the pages below to see which Black and Latina women made the cut and where they ranked on this travesty of a list.
SMH, check out the full list here… What other Black/Latina women do you think should have been on this list?

Inflatable stand up paddle boards, known as iSUPs, bring convenience to the sport of paddle boarding. Because they can be inflated and deflated in minutes, as well as stored in a compact form, they are incredibly easy to store and transport. While some iSUPs fail to maintain their rigidity over time, bringing on water and making them unsuitable for less than ideal water conditions, the best iSUPs are almost as good as regular boards. Their rigidity and durability combine with their portability to create strong, lightweight, compact, and high performing boards. Following are the best inflatable SUPs of 2016.

Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board Reviews
1. Tower Paddle Boards Adventurer 2 10'4" Inflatable SUP
The Adventurer 2 paddle board from Tower is an upgraded version of the company's original Adventurer paddle board. This board is longer than the original, at 10ft. 4in. long instead of 9ft. 10in. long. The result is a board that is faster and more maneuverable in the water. In addition, the board is capable of inflating to a PSI of 25 instead of the maximum PSI of 15 available in the original version. Finally, the board comes with an upgraded fiberglass paddle and possesses a bungee cord and carrying handles in the front and back to make it easier to use and carry.
These modifications make the Adventurer 2 more maneuverable, responsive, and convenient to ride and transport. At the same time, it retains the other qualities that make the Adventurer line outstanding. For instance, it, like the original, is made of military grade PVC arranged vertically. This material's strength, along with the vertical construction, make it extremely rigid when inflated. In fact, reviewers note that the board is almost as rigid as a regular board. In addition, the Adventurer 2 boasts the durability that comes from such strong material. Tower has tested the board by running over it, and has found that it can resist damage even under such stressful conditions. As a result, the board possesses a high quality that makes it reliable and enjoyable to ride.
Finally, the Adventurer 2 possesses the light weight and portability that characterize the best iSUPs. Reviewers report that the board is light enough to carry easily. At the same it, it folds up into the size of a compact sleeping bag. As a result, it can be easily stowed in car trunks for transport, and in closets for storage in between trips and during the cold winter months. The combination of rigidity, durability, and portability, in addition to its modifications, make it an appealing choice for riders looking for a good value and excellent performance in paddle boards.

2. Isle 10ft. Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board Package
The 10ft. iSUP from Isle is a reliable board that provides a good value for beginning riders and those who want a paddle board to enjoy on calmer waters. The board boasts a high quality that exceeds its reasonable price, receives praise from reviewers for its performance, and includes convenient accessories that add to its overall value.
The board is made of military-grade material in a drop stitch construction. This means that the fibers of the board are woven together in a vertical pattern to increase rigidity. As a result, when inflated to 10 or 15 PSI, the board looks and feels much like a regular board. Reviewers report that the rigidity is more than satisfactory, and allows them to enjoy the convenience of an iSUP along with the feel and performance of a regular board.
This convenience includes compactness and portability. The board, when deflated and rolled up, is only about 12in. X 36in. As a result, it stores easily and can be thrown in the trunk of the car for transport. Many reviewers report choosing this board because of the ease with which they can carry and store it. While most iSUPs offer convenience and portability, this board also offers solid performance. Capable of handling riders up to 200 pounds on relatively calm waters, the board provides stability and responsiveness that satisfies most reviewers. The combination of rigidity, durability, compactness, portability, and performance, along with a two-year warranty and included pump and paddle, make this board an excellent value and a high-quality purchase.

3. Solstice Bali Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board
The 10ft. 8in. Bali paddle board from Solstice offers a fun way to enjoy the performance of a regular board with the convenience of an iSUP. The board, when inflated properly to 12-15 PSI, offers riders a firmness that rivals that of regular boards. In fact, reviewers praise the Bali for its rigidity on the water, and report that, unlike some iSUPs, it does not bend in the middle, even with a great deal of weight riding on it. Some reviewers report being able to ride with another person without experiencing any change in the performance and rigidity of the board.
In addition, reviewers report being pleased with the board's portability and convenience. The board deflates and rolls up into a compact size that is small enough to transport in a car and store in a closet during winter months and in between uses. To top off this board's pleasing performance, reviewers report that the board displays an admirable stability and responsiveness in the water, even in the presence of windy conditions. They also report that the board is best used in relatively calm water.
Finally, the Bali comes with a number of convenient accessories. These include a pump, a gauge, and a bag for carrying the deflated board. The board itself sports four ties in order to allow riders to bring along any items they may need on their ride. These accessories add to the board's convenience and overall value. The result is a board that feels like a regular board, performs well, and comes in at a great value for paddle boarders of all kinds.

4. Tower Paddle Paddle Boards Adventurer 9'10" iSUP Package
The Adventurer iSUP from Tower is the first of the company's two Adventurer models. This model is a more basic version of the updated Adventurer 2. As such, it is shorter, at 9ft. 10in. long, and comes with a simpler paddle and fewer design features. However, it still possesses the outstanding characteristics that set the Adventurer boards apart as some of the best iSUPs of the year. In fact, reviewers give it high ratings for its overall performance as a board for beginners and for riders in water with up to 4-foot waves.
For instance, the board is more rigid and durable than the average iSUP. It is constructed of military-grade PVC arranged in a vertical pattern. The combination of the material and this drop stitch construction make the board almost as rigid, when inflated, as a regular board. In fact, most reviewers praise the board for rivaling regular boards they have used in the past for feel and performance. In addition, the board's construction makes it virtually indestructible. Capable of resisting damage from bangs and scrapes, it offers riders a worry-free way to enjoy the water.
In addition to rigidity and stability, the Adventurer boasts the portability that makes iSUPs such an appealing choice for many paddle boarders. The board only weighs about 25 pounds and, once deflated and rolled up, is a compact 12in. X 33in. The result is a board that can easily be carried and stored anywhere you need. Finally, included accessories, such as a basic pump and three-piece paddle, add to the overall value of this high-quality and enjoyable board.

5. Isle 12ft. 6in. iSUP Package
The 12ft. 6in. iSUP from Isle offers riders the same qualities of excellent construction, durability, and rigidity as does the 10ft. version. The increased length, however, lends the board stability in the water, allowing it to reliably ride straight ahead. This increased stability makes it a good choice for both flat water and choppy water. In fact, reviewers often note the board's ability to perform satisfactorily in choppy water.
The board's performance is matched by its rigidity and durability. Like Isle's other iSUPs, the board is made of military grade material. This material uses drop stitch construction, which arranges the fibers vertically to achieve maximum rigidity. In addition, the board is designed to be tough, capable of resisting damage no matter how much abuse and how many bumps and scrapes it experiences. Reviewers testify to the accuracy of Isle's claims in this area. Though the board is a bit difficult to pump up to the desired PSI, once there, it feels as rigid as a regular board. Despite hours of time on the water, the board does not soften or deflate.
The board also boasts features that make it more convenient to use and ride. In addition to deflating and folding up into a compact shape, the board comes with a number of useful accessories. These include a pump, a gauge, a fin that can be removed, a repair kit, and an aluminum paddle. These accessories join a bungee system for securing items to the board and carrying rings that allow you to tie the board up when desired. The result is a convenient, enjoyable, and reliable way to enjoy the paddle boarding experience.

6. Tower Xplorer 14′ Inflatable SUP
The Xplorer paddle board from Tower is a large board designed to be used on long touring rides or in races, due to its speed and durability. Part of its capabilities in this area are due to its 14′ length, that make it faster, more responsive, and more stable in the water. In addition, this board receives praise from consumers for its large weight bearing capabilities. The board can hold up to 700 pounds, allowing for multiple and large riders to enjoy paddle boarding without sinking or getting wet. Reviewers note being pleased with this feature of the board more often than any other feature.
Besides these unique qualities, the Xplorer boasts the rigidity, durability, portability, and performance that make all of Tower's iSUPs stand out. Like their other boards, this board is made of military-grade material for added strength, and a drop stitch construction (material is woven vertically) for maximum firmness. In addition, the board, at 6in. thick, is 2 inches thicker than many other iSUPs, making it less likely to bend in the middle or to take on water. Also resistant to scratches and scrapes, it offers a high quality product for a lower price than similar iSUPs.
Finally, the board is portable, folding up into the size of a sleeping bag for easy storage and transport, comes with a pump and paddle, and performs admirably. Reviewers report reliable tracking, even with multiple people on the board, and responsiveness to the paddle, making for a satisfying and high quality iSUP experience.

7. Blue Wave Sports Stingray iSUP
The Stingray iSUP from Blue Ray Sports boasts extreme durability that has reviewers reporting hours of fun and enjoyment in a variety of water conditions. The board's versatility and strength (it has the ability to hold up to 220 pounds) is due at least in part to Blue Wave's practice of layering the board's construction. This means that the board has a layered drop stitch construction as well as a double layer on the outside of the shell to create strength and rigidity within its 4in. thickness. The result is a board that resists damage when bumped or scratched and that takes on a minimum of water during the ride. The construction also make it ideal for use for beginners, seasoned riders, in calm water, in choppy water, and in other paddle boarding situations.
Finally, the Stingray comes with an array of accessories that make it both easier to use and a rewarding value. These include a pump that receives positive reviews for its ease of use, a removable fabric seat, a carry bag, a fin that can be attached or detached for easier navigation, a foot rest, bungee cords for securing items to the board, and a paddle that can be adjusted for use in a variety of ways. The result is an high quality, versatile board at a great value.

8. Isle Airtech 10'4" Yoga Fitness iSUP
For women who wish to pursue yoga out on the water, there are few better choices than the Isle Airtech Yoga Fitness. This women's SUP boasts a colorful pink and purple design, while its design features make it ideal for pursuing yoga safely and comfortably in either the lake or the ocean.
First, the Yoga Fitness comes with a longer-than-average length of 10'4". This length makes it faster and more maneuverable in the water, while also providing you with more room for your yoga. In addition, this iSUP comes wider (36 in.) and thicker (6 in. instead of 4 in.) to make it more stable in the water. Thanks to the width, the board will move side to side less often. Thanks to the 6 in. thickness, the board will not bend in the middle, even during your most complicated yoga poses.
Other features that make this board particularly suited to yoga include having the paddle bungee system mounted to the paddle board's rail so it is out of the way and the placement of a bungee system for your drinks and gear just within reach.
In addition to its specifically yoga-friendly design, the Yoga Fitness also comes with the same high quality and durable construction that define the company's other products. For instance, its PVC material is heavy duty and designed to resist dings, drops, and crashes. The board also deflates into a compact 6in. X 36in. size for easy transport and storage. Reviewers, while noting that it does not come with a storage bag, still give it high praise for its durability, reliable performance on the water, and the quality of its paddle and pump.

9. Isle Airtech 15′ Megalodon Tandem Paddle Board
For families and friends who wish to enjoy the paddle boarding experience together, the Isle Airtech 15′ Megalodon provides one of the best tandem SUP experiences out there. This board is designed with the space and accessories needed to enjoy a day on the water with multiple people riding the same board. For instance, the board is a whopping 15 feet long (many SUPs are 14 feet long or less). In addition, it is 50 inches wide (most SUPs are less than 36 inches wide) and 8 inches deep (many SUPs are 6 inches deep or less). These massive specifications mean that the Isle Megalodon can carry as many as seven people at once.
Despite is large inflated size, however, the Isle Megalodon comes through with portability that is hard to beat. Thanks to the fact that it can be deflated and rolled up, it becomes a far more compact 53in. X 14in. size for easy transport in the car. This smaller size means that you can store it wherever you like and easily carry it to the water to meet your friends and family for a day of fun.
In addition to being large enough to hold almost as many friends and family as you would like, the Isle Megadolon also comes with enough accessories for you to hit the water with a crowd. Its four paddles, pump, fins, and carry handle allow you to get out on the water right away, without needing to buy other accessories. Reviewers give this board high marks for its space, stability, and storage, confirming its place as one of the best tandem iSUPs out there.

10. Isle Airtech 7'6" Kids iSUP
One of the advantages of paddle boarding is the fact that children can enjoy it as well. One of the best kids' paddle boards out there is the Isle Airtech 7'6" board. This board's length, combined with 26 inches of width and 6 inches of depth, make it small enough for children to maneuver easily in the water while stable enough for children to be safe managing the board on their own. The board can handle weights of 30-120 pounds so almost any child and smaller adult can enjoy this kids SUP.
In addition to its kid-friendly size, this paddle board is strong and durable in order to last for years. It comes with a two-year warranty to guarantee Isle Airtech's commitment to quality paddle board construction. The board inflates to a PSI of 15 to provide the rigidity needed to keep it strong and reliable in the water. Adding to the board's convenience is the fact that it can also be deflated to a compact size for easy storage and transportation.
Reviewers give this board high praise for its child-friendly construction, despite the fact that it comes with an adult-sized paddle. They note that it is easy to get inflated and deflated and is easy for their children to use. The result is a durable, reliable, and ideal kids paddle board.

I have this product in the shade Memento, which is a warm nude - a lovely mix of brown and pink. It's currently my most used lip product for both the finish and the colour.
The product is so pigmented(!!!) and the finish is quite glossy. The only problem I had with it was that it bled after a while, and I felt like a clown with the product smearing out of my lip lines. But I found a solution to it which ensures no bleeding and longer wear. I put one layer on and lightly press a tissue between my lips to remove the excess (especially on the edges of the lips). Then, I add another layer on but avoiding the edges of the lips. This lasted me a whole night through drinks and food.
I wouldn't say it's drying, but I wouldn't say it's moisturising either. I'm quite neutral with it and I think it depends on the state that your lips are in when you wear it. I absolutely love it though, and it makes for a nice natural look. I wear it every time I have a professional event going on. I'm looking forward to try the other shades because I love this one so much!

This is a funny product to work with. Funny not Fun...It seems people either love it or hate it. The positive is that the color payoff is the bomb. It's the best i've ever seen. I have the color META which looks like a bright red in the tube but it looked more like hot pink with a touch of red when I put it on. The color payoff was so great....it was almost too great. I don't usually wear super bright colors so this was hard for me to handle. I would call this club gloss because that's the only time I would wear it. You only need a tiny bit which is nice but I also found I had to have a gloss as well because it felt very drying.

I honestly have mixed feelings on this product. I think it depends on which color you buy to be honest. This company seems to be inconsistent with their products. I bought the color Lydia from them which in the tube, seems to be a dark purple, but on my lips was a sheer light purple, darker pink. I had to apply the lip liner underneath and it still came of relatively quickly. I loved the colors though and decided to go and try one more color since I heard they were so amazing and I did get Lydia on a discount rack. I decided to by NSFW which is the MOST PERFECT RED OF MY LIFE. Its pigmented like crazy. I barely put any of it on a brush, did my whole lips and it stayed for a few hours. This one stayed VERY matte on me which I was not expecting since normally I heard lip tars never get fully matte but I was very excited with how much it stayed on my lips. I think with this product you just have to test them out, use little product to avoid feathering and staining in your mouth, and make sure you get it off the inside of your lips so it doesn't get all over your teeth. It may behard to find a good lip tar to work for you (and it may be a bit of an expensive adventure) but I whole heartedly think every one should try and find a bold color from OCC and wear it :).

this stuff is amazing. stays on--use a LITTLE and work with that, I swear thats the trick. I get so many compliments when wearing the bright shades, and it's the only lip color I've worn that still there after a long shift at work!

I bought the Role Model because i loved the shade of red. Was told it was a stain and would stain my lips to keep the color. WRONG. First applied the primer and waited 30 min for that to dry. Then applied the color and after an hour, it still wasn't dry. Blotted it and it was OK. But then after having a cup of coffee, it was completely gone.
Tried it again, minus the primer. Same effect. It DID NOT STAIN. What's the point in buying a product that you'll have to reapply in an hour if you should happen to drink something? And the little brush application, perfect if I'm at home or carry a make up bag with me everywhere i go. But I don't, so I'm screwed with reapplying the product.
Would NEVER buy it again and have told many friends this. They have also opted to not purchase any OCC Lip Tar

Horrible product!! Very runny in the tube, if you don't store it upside down and shake it, it has a clear liquid that comes out first. After I figured that out and used it, still hated it. It is very glossy and does NOT last. It rubs off 99 percent after drinking/eating and what's left is a very muted shade. Colors are bright when applied though so they are very deceiving. MAC pro longwear is still the best!!

So much hype over these little things. Many beauty gurus on Youtube swore by this stuff, and I don't see why. I purchased a .33 oz tube from Sephora for $18. I chose the color 'Stalker' because it was exactly the same color as Mac's 'Ruby Woo' lipstick. In a rush, I didn't bother trying the product on before leaving the store. I wish I had.
So many people rave about this being smooth, creamy, moisturizing, with awesome color pay-off. I agree about the color, but everything else about it was a lie. For starters, the application process is impractical. It comes through a squeeze tube with a thin nozzle, that must be squeezed onto a brush and applied so. This is already a con, because this makes on-the-go applying difficult since you must have the brush. You could use your finger, but the product is very staining and you'll want to be precise when using it.
Another problem is its texture. It's not creamy or buttery at all. It doesn't glide on smoothly or evenly, and it will be patchy unless a smooth lip balm is worn underneath. The pigmentation is awesome, a little drop goes a long way, but it is staining and very drying on the lips. The texture is like a primer in some ways: once it's on, it turns dry and will not budge at all (except primer isn't drying and won't lose its "slip"). Even with a lip balm underneath, your lips will be chapped. You'll want to use more to get more moisture, but that won't help. One thing is that I do like the minty-ness that it has.
I love the deep, rich blue-based red. The color options in this line are amazing, I have to say, and there is something for everyone. The product doesn't transfer and has long staying power, but is hell to remove. It will smudge to another part of your face, and want to stay there until you smudge it to another area. Because it smudges around, it has a high chance of staining that area or wherever it has touched.
I really want to like this product, but I can't. Yes, the color is amazing and I've had this one tube for 2 years now because it lasts forever, but maybe if it wasn't so drying, staining, and applied like normal glosses, it would be amazing. I decided to keep it and use it for special events where I don't need to wear it for a long time, because I won't waste $18 on a product that does work with some effort. But I don't think I'd repurchase unless it is formulated to be less drying, because I can deal with the lip brush fiasco. Until then, I'll continue to use it on occasion until it runs out. Once it does, I'll just stick to 'Ruby Woo'. I do not recommend.

- pigmented
- shade selection
- scent
- little goes a long way
- product will separate
- drying
- wear time
COMMENTS: These are insanely pigmented and go a very long way. The downside is that they're so drying. The product will also separate at some point, but that's an easy fix (leave the tube sitting in opposite direction it was previously in and the oil will mix right back up). The best way method of application I have found is to use any lip gloss as your base first. This will keep your lips emollient, since these can really suck the moisture out of your lips. I love the color selection. There are endless possibilities in terms of what you can create, but I will no longer be purchasing these. They're just so drying. Yes, a gloss helps but it still does damage to my lips. I can't get myself to purchase these anymore, but these type of products are still my favorite. I just prefer J.Cat Beauty's Wonder Lip Paints and L.A. Girl's Glazed Lip Paint instead. Those are the same thing, minus the dryness.
Will not repurchase.

Sweet Sixteen Liveblog
Michigan versus Tennessee in something other than arguing about an award that was given to the most outstanding football player of 1997. Let's do this.
How we can do this: Our official fantasy game partner DraftStreet (hope you got in on the 40k thing in time) once again stepped up to support this. If you're getting bored between games today, head on over to their dashboard and sign up for any of their games. That link goes to the NBA one I just started.
How we shall do this. By following the Liveblog Chaos Mitigation rules.
Spurrier may have to come up with a new UT spelling joke.
Thanks to ugly transitions between Fulmer/Kiffin/Dooley/Davis, Tennessee is on the edge of APR penalties for football.
seems legit
If Not Gruden, Then Who?
Tennessee fans think they have a shot at Jimbo Fisher. Oh right and Gruden.
Would UT do to others what Lane Kiffin did to it?
Troll hard, Tennessee columnist who suggests Kevin Sumlin, Rich Rodriguez, and Todd Graham for the Vols. Everyone in that state is slowly becoming Clay Travis.
Hokepoints: Am I Living it Right?
It's been two weeks since Michigan's last home game, and for me and the wife it meant two Saturdays at someone else's stadium: Notre Dame and—unrelated to the Great Meeting of the Bloggerati—Georgia. The first I went with my cousin and her kid, who's about the age I was when his father took me up to campus and I got Desmond'ed. The second was with two of my best friends from college, one of whom married a major Bulldog fan and couldn't bring his kid because you don't bring kids to SEC conference games—maybe Florida-Atlantic, but people still look at you strange.
I thought I'd use the bye week opportunity to share the experiences as compared to Michigan.
Notre Dame
South Bend and Notre Dame du Lac vs. Ann Arbor: If not for the signs (which you should ignore because they tell dirty lies) you wouldn't realize there's a city here. Northern Indiana once you leave the part you pass to get to Chicago is right out of Rudy: small industrial belt homes nooked close together right up to the point campus has to start. We parked (for free) on the south side of Coquillard Park and at this point you notice or somebody informs you that Notre Dame is a fifth of the size of your median Big Ten school. The closest thing they have to a State Street or South University is a one-block collection of chain-ish restaurants in a pair of newer building complexes that straddle Eddy Street.
Their Main Street/downtown is about 2 miles southwest of the stadium and reminds me of Kalamazoo or a smaller Grand Rapids. The College Football Hall of Fame is here but we wanted to tailgate and it's something you rope Greg Dooley into doing with you but probably not a 12-year-old.
Coming from the south you are hitting a collection of buildings constructed or heavily renovated after 2004. The stadium owns this area. Once past (and to the left of) that and the new stuff you're in something a late Bourbon king probably commissioned. And it's here you remember or someone tells you that despite the mascot this started as a French institution, and was designed to French tastes. Having been to Ireland extensively and lived in France, this is a good thing.
On to the stadium and such, after a jump.

Our 2014 FactCheck Awards
The funniest, strangest and otherwise noteworthy ads of the campaign season.
A Project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center
The funniest, strangest and otherwise noteworthy ads of the campaign season.
It's that special time of year again when campaigning is over (finally!) and the voting has begun. On Election Day we can stop being so serious about fact-checking false or deceptive claims and have some fun handing out imaginary hardware to those political ads that caught our eyes for other reasons.
Election Day has arrived; every voter has made up his or her mind (or should have, by now). So — just as we've done on Election Days past — we offer here some of the ads that we thought deserved special attention, not for the facts they present but for sheer style points (or lack thereof).
For those readers who've stuck with us through a lot of in-depth reporting on complex issues, we offer these just-for-fun awards for some of the most entertaining, most egregious, most off-the-wall or just plain grossest ads this election cycle.
Q: Did Hillary Clinton volunteer in 1975 to defend a rapist, who was found not guilty, and laugh about it in an interview in 1980?
A: Clinton defended an accused rapist, but she did not volunteer. He pleaded guilty to a lesser offense. She laughed when recalling unusual aspects of the case.


text: The old advertisement proclaimed that you don't have to be Jewish to love Levy's Jewish rye bread. Well, surely, you don't have to be a pro-Israel activist to be troubled by the grotesquely unjust treatment of Israel. All it takes is a capacity for moral outrage that things like this are happening today.
