29 year old woman | Washington, DC, USA | Seeking men 27-40 in District of Columbia, United States
.."sunny days, everybody loves them but tell me can YOU stand the RAIN ?".....
I am open to meeting that special someone wherever. I just recently moved to D.C and so far I like it alot. The peoplesphere (if that's a word), is more fast-paced than I'm used to but I'm sure it'll grow on me. I am American by birth but I grew up in West Africa because my dad decided to go on a quest to trace his African roots and my family ended up staying a long while with of course periodic visits back home to the States. I had my College education over there too. I would love to tell you more about that and the many adventures I experienced while there. I love reading, DIY fix ups, singing, attending comedy shows, cooking, watching the Food Network channel and going to cooking networking mixers. I am a Formula 1 and European/Champions League Football fan courtesy of my brothers. I love going to art shows/galleries and museums. I like taking long walks on trails, wall-climbing, swimming, cycling to mention a few. I am passionate about my family, helping others, being the best I can be in all my endeavors and putting GOD first and foremost in everything I do, I would love to attract and see that in you. I look forward to meeting someone who is God-fearing, confident in himself and is able to be the best he can be in all situations in his life. I am not really used to writing about myself, but feel free to ask me anything. Submitted from mobile Submitted from mobile

Worst part is.....it's my own dang cats. Both of them. They dig up fresh seedlings and kill them. They like to crap in my organic veggie garden. I wanna throttle 'em. Keeping them indoors isn't an option. They are feral rescues and they sit there screaming at the backdoor and attempting escape everytime someone opens or closes a door. Even if I WANTED to keep them in, it's nearly impossible. They are really fast when they want something. I've tried planting catnip in various locations throughout the garden to draw them away but they largely ignore it. Other thoughts?
We bought something to keep neighborhood cats away from our front door because it would upset our indoor cat and they would end up marking their territory on each side of the door. It's a powder that contains cayenne pepper and dried blood. It sounds gross, but my Dad said it helped keep animals out of his vegetable garden.

I had this problem last year w/ a few strays. I took disposable plastic forks & knives and stuck them handle down in the beds. It really worked! This year we haven't had a problem because we've mulched w/ straw and I don't think they like the texture.

We have a lot of bamboo around, and we use that. Also, chicken wire laid over the tops of the beds works well, and also prevents birds from scratching things to pieces.

Thanks for the new thread, Lilac!
Hey! I see I'm added! Thanks Only correction is I've been ttc since 8/09 (not 9/09). That's one whole extra month of .
ISIS, I will get it changed. I was trying to count back 22 months in my head and well, I guess my math needs some work (my school year job is math teacher, LOL).

Yep, and I think I have most of it figured out. Still need to look into some of the ladies that should have have had their babies in May and June and update the "mommy" part but other than that, I think everything is working.

Lilac - I can tell you that Meander recently had her baby (within the past week), so you can move her over the the "mommy graduates" section. New thread looks great!
Valerie - Happily married to DH since 09/08
Baby Jacob's finally here!! 10/4/11
OMG, meander had her baby!!!! So exciting! Thanks for sharing, Val. :) Thanks so much for what you said in the previous thread. I think specifically of you when I start beating up on myself. I am so happy for you and I would never, ever think anything bad about you that you needed clomid, so why the hell do I feel that way about myself? I'm just going to keep trying to deprogram myself.
Rosie, thanks for your good thoughts. So funny you posted drunk. I am glad you think about us even when intoxicated. :) We'd love more details of your amazing Martha-skills when you have time. :) I don't weigh myself but I think I lost a bit of weight in the first few weeks by how my clothes fit. I think that has leveled off but i haven't been able to exercise and plan to pick that up again once I'm over this cold. OB said she wanted me to lose 10-15 pounds and I think I"m close to that.
Pitch, thanks for your empathy. These are such toxic thoughts to have about ourselves. Like I said, I really truly would never judge another woman, and would only be happy she is getting the help she needs, so I have got to stop making myself the exception to that. I really like your analysis of your health and health care situation, too. That is all true for me as well and it is about patience a lot of the time.
Thread looks good, Lilac. Rosie and I have both fixed those stupid profile links before! I don't know why they refuse to stay fixed.
ecstatic about BFP #2 after another round of Clomid,
thrilled to welcome #1 after 17 months of ttc, 1 round of Clomid
Lilac- Thanks for including me on the new thread! I'm actually 32, wouldn't mind staying 31 though . I misunderstood what you wrote before-- so, you have been off birth control for the last 3 months-- we have a lot in common! I was on mine on and off for years because of my horrible cramps! And, I forgot how awful they can be and my DH was also shocked! I just started my chart on FF-- no idea what I'm doing really, but I'll keep reading and learning as I have time. My cycles have been super weird since I came off the BC, but I think I ovulated last month Yay! I'll keep my figers crossed for you this month!
Pitchounette thank you so much for the welcome! I feel very much the same gratitude as you to be on this journey. I finally found the love of my life and he's just as excited as I am to have a baby, I waited a long time to find him and I was starting to feel like I never would
Thank you all so much for the warm welcome! I am learning so much just by reading your posts. It's so nice to know I found a place where I can share, vent, and have support!
Me = Healer, yogini, lactivist, step-mom, and wife to my dream come true So grateful-- for my two healthy kiddos
Ah! Why must the links break! An MDC mod fixed the links last month, I thought. Sorry lilac, I know it's annoying. Arg.
Boots - Good job on the weight loss! I'm sorry you're still weighed down with a cold, ice. We swam tonight for the first time in ages and I feel like I just got a huge cold…total sinus blockage. So odd. It's crazy how we can have very logical knowledge about TTCing but very different emotional reactions. I'm so so sorry you are feeling like your body is letting you down. It's such a helpless feeling…especially since it's so far from our control. :hugs:
I'm REALLY no martha stewart. I can't decorate to save my life. I wish I could but I can't. Cooking, however I like, and I can be good at at times. Right now I have a family of four as house guests. The adult guests are big cooks so we decided to have a dinner party and cook together. We invaded my mom's house because she has a kitchen big enough for three to cook in. We ended up cooking with five people (and serving ten)! I won't clutter the thread with pictures but here are some links:

Apple fritters (my brother made them) with maple-bourbon homemade ice cream and candied bacon garnish. YUM. I made the gaspacho and the duck, my friend made the ice cream and the potato pave, her husband made the second duck and the carpacchio, brother made the fritters and mom made the salad. It was so much fun!
I'm going to have to get back to work soon. I've been doing way too much cooking instead of working. And working out, but that's another story altogether. I think I want to pick back up on regular exercise beyond the garden again, to boost TTC chances. It know statistically it helps and qualitatively I'll just feel better if I do.
Happy belated 4th of July everyone! Here's the MDC version of fireworks!
RosieL, I was able to get the links fixed. I wonder if it is the "copy and paste" of the weblinks that is the issue (although the links to the charts didn't seem to have the problem. I don't know, anyway it is fixed. Sometimes knowledge is power! Love the photos of the meal. You have a real knack for photography (it looked like it came from a Martha Stewart magazine :))
Jessimaca, I will get your age fixed. Birthdays always seem to creep up on us but it seems to me that each day gets better and better so I am good with the age.
5 DPO and last night and this morning I was totally nauseous. Is it my allergies messing with my ears that is making me nauseous or is it pregnancy? I just don't know http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/LilacVioletIris
Yesterday I had a blast with a 20 something lady and another 50ish lady and they both knit and crochet and also sell things they make on etsy (like me). It was a blast for 2 hours yesterday afternoon. Then I went with the 20 something lady to a crochet/knit prayer group where we talked, worked on our projects, and then discussed prayer requests/praises. It was such a therapeutic day! I can't wait to do it again. The baby sweater I have been working on...um is huge! Maybe more for a 4 year old, than a newborn. It looks super cute though, so I am going to add more rows onto it to make it longer and give it to my friend.

Fertility friend is SILLY. Yesterday it tried to give me crosshairs because my temp was high, but I "discarded" the temp because I assumed ti was high due to...you know...the *fun* I had Tuesday night. But today's was higher too, and FF gave me crosshairs AGAIN! I usually O CD17-20, this time it thinks CD9. Not a chance, methinks. I'm CD13 today and will start OPKs tomorrow.
RE appointment today. Consultation!
Hi all,
Would you mind looking at my chart? I think I am seeing a serious ovulation dip. Fingers crossed!
Maybe JenMegC, but you have creamy, not wet or eggwhite CM so maybe not. I would definitely consider the possiblity it could be O.
RosieL, maybe, maybe not for you too. If you look at your post O temps from last month it seems consistent with what you have now, only the O date is earlier. Since you don't have early cycle temps from last cycle, I am thinking it is never too early to consider that O has come. Mine came a couple days ahead of the "stats".

RE discouraged me from temping, asked for another SA with IUI prep, a bit more bloodwork from me (total test, 17-hydroxyprog., and DHEAS I think), and a few more blood tests unrelated to infertility. They prescribed a round of antibiotics for both me and DH to take to eliminate the possibility of us passing an infection back and forth between each other. The doctor was nice, although a touch less patient with my desire to research than I would like. Her nurse was nice, although a touch less patient with my impatience than I would like. DH noticed the same, but both of us thought the overall visit went well.
I'm super-pleased that the SA with IUI-prep will tell us whether IUI would be worth trying out. They do a wash just like the IUI prep, and then do a SA. If the washed numbers look good then IUI is a good option, if they don't, then it's not. I like these next steps. :)
I've been asked about The Met, but I can't find the old post in the June thread. So here's my take. My doctor and naturopath, separately, said that The Met may take 3-6 months to be effective. I was taking it for 6 weeks and in those six weeks ovulated twice! Holyshitballs! That's really rare for me. My doctor called me a week or two ago and wanted to talk about next steps, but he is a surgeon and he markets more aggressive treatments. I'm so excited about actually ovulating, that I want to give my partner and I a shot before we proceed down a path that may include more aggressive interventions. My own personal thoughts on the "how long" question would be 12 cycles - not 12 months, but cycles. I don't cycle on a monthly basis and I figure that the 1 year benchmark typically applies to those that cycle on a regular basis (meaning every 28-35 days). I'm currently on cycle four. As I begin to cycle regularly while taking Met I'm hoping that my eggs will be happier and I will find a better hormonal balance, all of which will increase my chances of conceiving naturally. I haven't had the HSG done yet, but I don't have any history that would indicate a problem. I'm nine DPO. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Chap - Here's to finishing dissertations before, after, or in the midst of pregnancy!
Welcome to the new thread members!
And, for good measure, Go Team!
Me (33) + Him (34) = US 10.3.09
Trying to conceive since 1.6.11. Diagnosed as phlegm stagnant with PCOS and a blocked tube.
First loss on 3.5.12. Second loss on 5.19.12. Cautiously optimistic that the 3rd time really is a charm. EDD 8.7.2013.
Jen, I don't see a post-O temp rise. Based on your temps, I'd say you haven't ovulated yet.
Rosie, just curious - why did the RE discourage temping?
krunchy I would assume that when they say 12months of infertility, they mean 12 months. Since the people who don't conceive for that length of time might be dealing with annovulation issues and rarely cycle, I think the "guideline" would be more precise if they didn't really mean 12 calendar months, IMHO. I think choosing when to go start looking for more answers and more invasive stuff is a *really* personal decision both emotionally and financially, though, so that 12 month guideline is just one of the factors to consider.
I think I've reached some sort of transition in my state of trying to conceive. I just realized, 13 days into my cycle, that I didn't immediately go look at my "next possible due date range" like I have every other cycle. I will probably go do that now, because I'm thinking about it, but my thought process was "Wow, we went to those midwife info sessions in January. Hm, I wonder if they're starting to fill up March. Oh, I had a period since my last due date check, which was March 1. Hm, why didn't I check the next due date???"
I'm so mixed mixed mixed up with emotions at the moment, but there's a high point. DH and I had a nice BD after our appointment (he knew I needed it to relax) and it was awesome that he went in search of preseed himself, yelled at me for not lying down for 15 minutes, and is 100% supportive of paying $1600 out of pocket if we find out we have good IUI chances. He is SO on board. I makes me really really happy to know that.
Caly - She said that there is no need, it's not useful data since it's post-ovulation, and it *usually* adds more stress to a couple's conception woes. She said 1% of her patients benefit from the added regularity in their life that comes from temping, but otherwise she thinks that it has a negative impact on stress than a positive one. She was open to the idea that that is a personal decision, and mentioned that most couples seem relieved when she says this. I'm not pissed at her for telling me not to temp. I was slightly put off but once I heard her explanations it made sense. Also, during a cycle when we're doing something with her, she will actually trigger ovulation and monitor with ultrasounds, so at that point there *really* is no point in temping. I bought the argument, but until I start being monitored, I'll keep temping. Honestly, temping tells me when I can go from baby-making sex to the move fun kinds of sex, so it's a useful took in that sense.
Yeah, Rosie, it seemed odd she would tell you not to. Since my cycles are usually 30 days or more, I kind of like to know when I probably Oed in order to get a more precise due date rather than one based on my last menstrual period. Glad you DH is on board. Makes all the difference in the world to get the support from the other half of the TTC equation.

Hi guys...
I should have updated before now, but this has been one heck of a week.
Alaric Flynn was born July 3 by emergency c-section, after a day of me not feeling him move. He weighed 7lb4oz at 36 weeks--so a hefty little boy.
We're still not 100% clear on what exactly happened in my womb, but we do know I was incredibly lucky I went in to check him out when I did; he was floppy and blue when they pulled him out, they had to resuscitate him, etc. He didn't cry for 7 1/2 minutes. Scariest bit of my life for sure. We were so unprepared!
He is still in the NICU, but I came home from the hospital last night, so we are visiting him for several hours twice a day for now. He had a few minutes of BF today for the first time, which was an exciting milestone for all of us. I don't think he'll be home under a week, so we are adjusting to a weird life of having a kid, but not having him around, and needing to ask permission to hold him, etc.
A picture: http://www.mrfs.net/baby/IMG_3309.JPG
I have been so humbled by this journey.
Mama to Alaric, my beautiful -- born 4 weeks early on 7/3/11 at 7lb4oz.
Wow, Meander! Wow! He's beautiful. I am SO glad that both of you are OK.
OMG! I am so glad that you and the lil man are both ok! He is beyond beautiful! I know its rough now.. but believe me, things will get better! Best of luck to you and your new family! Please keep us posted
Me (31) Hubby (31)
Hoping for in 2012
Meander, I am glad to hear that your little one is in the world and getting better every day. Scary thinking a little one can be ready to be born and then stop moving.
I am so emotional today. I saw a photo of the gravesite of my Great-grandparents (who were alive until I was 8 (great-grandpa) and 10 (great-grandma). My aunts and uncle are planning to put better grave markers on the site (right now it just says the last name of the deceased) and add a marker for my grandmother (my great-grandparents only daughter) who passed away in 1999 and my grandfather who is still alive. I know these people would have loved my DH and would have been so excited about us trying to have kids and even more excited when we finally have them. It makes me yearn for heaven when I hope to see all of my loved ones again who have died. I miss them so much. Big sigh!
Crafty Geeky lady (37, hypothyroid) married 7/2010 love of my life (42, azoospermia). I believe in MIRACLES! Twin boys born 12/21/13 at 40 weeks 2 days! 3/52 crafts in 2014 Ramsey's BS1: Done! 2/17/12 BS 2 goal: 6/7/17 no sperm initial DX 3/23/12 BFP 4/7/13!
BREAKING NEWS: Everyone is pregnant except us.
Nothing would surprise me at this point. Do you have any fixed male pets? Because they're probably pregnant.
ecstatic about BFP #2 after another round of Clomid,
thrilled to welcome #1 after 17 months of ttc, 1 round of Clomid
Meander - Thanks for sharing with us. for the tough start to parenthood and your son's life. He looks beautiful. He looks so pink and healthy under all those wires, I hope you get to take him home really soon!
Boots, you crack me up. Seriously. I love it!
So, the day we came back from the RE I cried a bit. Apparently my crying affects DH more than I could ever have imagined, because he 1) let me buy a fridge (cheap, used, but still a big purchase) without asking any questions, 2) didn't get mad when the fridge didn't *quite* fit and I had to make adjustments, 3) started putting money away for IUI/IVF instantly with the idea that we would do something as soon as we could instead of waiting for insurance changes, and 4) waited until much later that night to tell me that our friends (the driver of his rally team and wife) are expecting twins. He was scared to upset me more than I already was, I guess? He was completely confused that when he left me after the appointment I was sad, but I was giggly and in a great mood when he came home from work.
My reaction to hearing they're having twins: one placenta or two? lol DH thought that was a ridiculously odd thing to ask.
I know exactly what you did... you counted from July, although I originally posted in June. You're a fine math teacher after all!
P.S. - I also miss my grandparents very much. I have no doubt that I will see them again, though. It doesn't surprise me that grandparents and great-grandparents would be brought up in a ttc thread because that's a bit what it's all about, isn't it? Partly, it's about living on in some way, so someone remembers me fondly. Is that selfish? Not only do I think about being a mother, I think about being a grandmother (which could very well never, EVER happen). Both my grandmothers were so kind and loving and I want to be just like them one day. That's really getting ahead of myself
Rosie - I stopped charting for the very reason your RE advised against it. It started stressing me out more as I was becoming too fixated on ttc. I would never advise against it though, I think all women should try it at some point, even just to get to know their cycles. One good thing was that once my temp dropped I knew it was all over. That saved me about 24 hours of false hope.
meander - even though he has all those tubes and whatnot, he looks like a fine, healthy boy.... and big for 36 weeks! That's a great thing! You're truly blessed.
boots -
Ugh, I feel nauseous after eating breakfast this morning. DH is having stomach pains as well. Our 1st anniversary will be on Monday and he got really sick the night of the wedding so hopefully this won't be a repeat of last year's two week cold/flu/coughing/sick to stomach event for him. I was fine, never got sick. I think he wasn't used to the American germs after he got here permanently from Canada.

Meander, what a beautiful baby boy!! Congrats and I hope all is well today. :)
Bootsie, I FEEL THE SAME WAY!!! My mom keeps calling and telling me who's pregnant and I get upset---it's not her fault, because she doesn't think we're TTC yet. But still, enough!! ;)
Rosie, that's funny about your DH and your tears! My DH is a softie as well....hmm....maybe I should turn on the tears to get some new patio furniture?? ..... ;) That's very interesting about not temping or charting. Those same thoughts have been in my head the past few days and it took your post for me to actually think them through. I've thought of taking a month or two off and just relaxing about TTC. Which would be very hard for me to do, but maybe it would be the very thing that helps. For me, the point of temping is to determine if your body is ovulating, and learning to read your other fertility signs. It's been wildly educational and beneficial for those reasons. However, once you "get it" and figure out your own body, I don't know how long to keep doing it...?
Lilac, happy anniversary!! I hope you're not sick and instead you are pregnant! :) Have you tested yet? I'll have to run over and check your chart. Any special plans for your anniversary?
Caly and Isis, hello! :)
AFM, I'm 4 dpo. FF gave me crosshairs and all is well according to my chart. I know we timed BD perfectly this month (again), so I've decided if it doesn't work this month, then I'm headed to my doc. My cycles are textbook and I am ovulating every.single.month with a clear and sustained thermal shift.
Here's a question for my message board gals: When observing your cervix after ovulation, how do some women know they are pregnant just by feeling their cervix? Wouldn't it take several days for it to change back to soft and high (after ovulation and around implantation) and by that time wouldn't you have a BFP? I can't seem to figure it out.
Me (32) and DH (30) welcomed our precious baby boy 1/2013... life is good.

1996 Chrysler Town & Country Q&A
1996 Chrysler Town & Country Question: Driver side strut
The housing part of the spring is laying down on my front tire. Did the strut break? Or did the string housing itself break. And how do I go about repairing it? - smajid
Answer 1
It's hard to know what has happened without seeing it firsthand, but the spring may have broken. The entire strut will likely need to be removed, disassembled and any broken parts replaced. This requires special tools and knowledge to do this safely, so I would recommend taking it to a repair shop. I would also have the strut on the other side inspected to be sure it is not having similar problems. - Bret Bodas

Originally written on i70baseball | Last updated 3/14/13
It's been a bumpy and inconsistent ride for Luke Hochevar, the former 2006 No. 1 overall draft pick. Except for a few bullpen outings early in his career, Hochevar was a starter for the Royals since 2008. With the team's upgrades to the starting rotation, Hochevar, Bruce Chen and Luis Mendoza were in competition for the fifth starting spot. But after two spring starts, the Royals made the decision to move Hochevar to the bullpen. It wasn't like Hochevar made a case for being the fifth starter. In two spring starts, Hochevar pitched eight innings and gave up six earned runs, six walks, two home runs and eight strikeouts with a 6.75 ERA. It's only two starts, but it's clear Hochevar's spring struggles influenced the Royals to move him to the bullpen. Royals Manager Ned Yost put a positive spin on the move, saying it gives Hochevar a chance to help the Royals win every day instead of every five days. But the last few years, Hochevar hasn't given the Royals many chances to win every fi...

I honestly never thought I would see this day come, but here it is. I've become so bored with this website. The news is late, the reviews take to long to appear on the site, the game guides are useless, and most of my favorite users rarely post anymore which is why I'm departing this website. Now hold your water! I'm not deleting my account or anything, but don't expect blogs anymore. I'll still update my now-playing list when I get new games and I might just post another review some day. But blogs are done. There's nothing worth blogging about anymore and my first impressions on games aren't any different from anyone else's. And with school starting, a girlfriend, friends, and an overall fading interest in gaming, I simply have nothing left to contribute on this site. I had some great times on here with you guys and I will miss some of you for sure. But all good things must come to an end. But if you do want to stay in my life in some remote form, you can follow me on Twitter, Tumblr, or Youtube. Sorry, Facebook is private. Have a nice day! I'll still read some of your blogs from time to time.:)
Have a nice day fellow Gamespotters!

A stable memory circuit which includes a pair of memory banks (2(a)) and (2(b)) each having eight arrays of eight VRAMs (3). Each VRAM (3) is dual-ported and includes a processor port connected to a processor bus (6) and a stable memory port connected to a stable memory bus (7). Accordingly, stable memory operations such as copying operations may be carried out on the stable memory bus (7) concurrently with conventional random accesses by a host processor via the processor port (6) and with very little use of processor time. Further, the stable memory ports of VRAMs (3) are serial ports and each memory bank (2(a)) and (2(b)) may transfer data at high speed using wide serial data path.
1. A stable memory circuit comprising:
at least two physically separate and independent memory banks, each bank comprising a set of solid state memory devices, the memory devices being constructed from mutually physically separate pieces of semiconductor material so as to be physically separate;
a stable memory bus connected directly between the memory banks, the stable memory bus comprising a set of parallel electrical conductors;
a host processor interface;
a processor bus comprising a set of parallel electrical conductors connected between the memory banks and the host processor interface;
a normal power supply means for providing a power supply to all of the memory devices via electrical conductors of the stable memory circuit under normal operating conditions;
a standby power supply means for providing a standby power supply to all of the memory devices via electrical conductors of the stable memory circuit in the event of a fault in the normal power supply means;
a plurality of dual-ported video random access memory devices in each of said at least two memory banks, each video random access memory device comprising an external processor data port and a physically separate external stable memory port, each external processor port being connected to a conductor of the processor bus and each external stable memory port being connected to a conductor of the stable memory bus; and
a transfer means connected to the stable memory bus and comprising means for directing stable memory data transfer between external stable memory ports of the video random access memory devices in different memory banks concurrently with random accesses of a host processor to the memory devices via the external processor ports and the processor bus.
2. A stable memory circuit as claimed in claim 1, wherein the stable memory circuit further comprises a controller connected to at least one video random access memory device at its external processor data port in each memory bank and comprising means for transmitting control signals to partition each bank into stable and non-stable sections.
3. A stable memory circuit as claimed in claim 2, wherein the controller has a remote computer interface.
4. A stable memory circuit as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transfer means includes a stable data engine connected to the external stable memory ports of memory devices in different memory banks for carrying out stable memory processing operations on stable memory data handled by the external stable memory ports.
5. A stable memory circuit as claimed in claim 1, wherein each external stable memory port comprises a shift register for high-speed data transfer.
This is continuation of application Ser. No. 07,580,573, filed Sep. 11, 1990, which was abandoned upon the filing hereof.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a stable memory circuit and to a computer incorporating such a circuit.
The term "stable memory" is intended to cover memory, the contents of which is not corrupted under fault conditions such as power failure or faulty processor operation and with which atomic stable memory operations may be performed.
2. Prior Art
Heretofore, stable storage has often been achieved by use of duplicated peripheral storage devices such as disks to which data is regularly copied. Verification operations are carried out to ensure that the copy operations have been correctly carried out to each of the peripheral storage devices in turn. The copy and verification sequence is called an atomic transaction since it is designed only to succeed or fail- no other result is allowed, and failure does not result in corruption of data. The major problem with this arrangement is that operation of a processor is significantly slowed down because transmission of data and instructions to the peripheral storage devices takes a significant amount of time.
In another approach such as that described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,799,186 (PLOYETTE) stable memory is provided by duplicated on-board memory circuits. This results in less time being required by the processor to perform the atomic transactions, both because memory circuits are generally much faster than peripheral storage circuits and because the sequence of operations may be carried out by a controller within the stable memory circuit itself. However, there is still a significant use of processor time because the stable memory circuit acts as a peripheral storage device that must have data copied to it from conventional memory, and it cannot act as conventional memory at any time, even when stable memory operation is not required.
It is an object of the invention to provide a stable memory circuit which allows stable memory operations to be carried out concurrently with host processor operations and with very little use of host processor time so that the stable memory operations are effectively "transparent" to the host processor. It is another object to provide a stable memory circuit that can be part of a main memory of a processor and can behave as conventional memory of increased capacity when stable memory operation is not required and can be dynamically partitioned between conventional and stable memory on a block-by-block basis.
Another object is to allow intelligent data processing operations to be carried out on data involved in a stable memory operation with little overhead requirement of the host processor.
A further object is to allow relatively fast execution of stable memory operations.
A still further object is to provide an inexpensive stable memory circuit.
According to the invention, there is provided a stable memory circuit comprising two or more memory banks, each comprising at least one memory device, wherein a memory device is of the dual-ported type having two separate ports, namely, a processor port for host processor random accesses and a separate, additional stable memory port connected to another memory bank by a stable memory bus for carrying out of stable memory operations under direction of a control means concurrently with random access communication with the host processor via the processor port.
The invention will be more clearly understood from the following description of some preferred embodiments thereof, given by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a stable memory circuit of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a detailed view of a memory device for use in the circuit;
FIG. 3 is a schematic representation of portion of a computer incorporating a stable memory circuit of the invention;
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing five computers interconnected via links; and
FIG. 5 is a schematic representation of a computer incorporating an alternative construction of stable memory circuit.
Referring to the drawings, and initially to FIG. 1, there is illustrated a stable memory circuit of the invention indicated generally by the reference numeral 1. The circuit I comprises a pair of memory banks 2(a) and 2(b). Each memory bank 2(a) and 2(b) comprises eight arrays each having eight memory devices, namely, 256k�4 dual-ported video random access memories (VRAMs) 3. Referring to FIG. 2, each VRAM 3 includes a parallel processor port 4 which is 4 bits wide. Each VRAM 3 also includes a separate, additional serial stable memory port 5. In this specification, the term "serial port" is intended to cover ports which may in fact be, strictly speaking, parallel ports, but which are generally referred to as serial ports. Referring again to FIG. 1, the processor ports 4 are connected to a processor bus 6 which is 32 bits wide, for connection with a host processor. The stable memory ports 5 are connected to a stable memory bus 7. There is a stable memory bus 7 for each array of eight VRAMs 3. Each stable memory bus 7 connects VRAMs 3 in each bank directly to associated VRAMs 3 in the other bank. It will be appreciated, however, that there may be any number and possibly only one stable memory bus common to all arrays of VRAMs 3.
In this specification, the term "processor bus" is intended to cover a bus which connects a stable memory circuit with any external processor or control circuit. It may also be referred to as an "external bus", or a "system bus".
Referring specifically to FIG. 2, the processor port 4 is connected to a memory array 8, which in this embodiment is 512 bits square and 4 bits wide. The memory array 8 is connected to an on-chip shift register 9 which is capable of shifting serial data 512 bits long �4 bits wide via the stable memory port 5.
In operation, host processor accesses are carried out via the host processor bus 6 and whenever desired, say, at regular intervals, stable memory control signals are transmitted on the processor bus 6 interleaved with the normal random accesses and these initiate stable memory operations on the stable memory busses 7. Subsequently, the stable memory operations are carried out without the need for transmission of any information on the processor bus 6. These operations may include copying of contents of the bank 2(a) to the bank 2(b). In one example, a page in the memory bank 2(a) is coupled with a page in the bank 2(b) to form a single stable page. Host processor accesses are then allowed only into the page in the bank 2(a) and the corresponding page in the bank 2(b) is inaccessible to the host processor. During stable memory operations, flags may be used to correctly indicate the validity of the copy and to protect against other accesses to these pages. Because stable memory ports 5 of each VRAM 3 are connected directly to equivalent or associated VRAMs 3 in the other memory bank, there is a very wide serial data path yielding a very high transfer rate. The transfer rate is particularly high because the shift register operations take relatively little time. In this embodiment, a 4 kbyte page may be copied in six micro seconds and compared in a further six micro secs.
It will be appreciated that because the circuit I is symmetrical either of the memory banks 2(a) and 2(b) may be used as the accessible bank or both may be used as a conventional memory depending on the instructions which are transmitted on the processor bus 6 from a control means, which may be the host processor. Indeed, the memory banks may be dynamically partitioned into stable memory and conventional memory portions depending on instructions received. This is an important aspect of the invention, particularly where from time to time stable memory operations are not as important as the storage of as much information as possible.
In cases where such alternatives are not required, it is envisaged that the processor bus may be connected to only one memory bank, the other bank permanently forming the inaccessible memory bank of the stable memory.
Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 4, there is illustrated a portion of a computer 20 which incorporates a stable memory circuit 21 of the invention. Like parts are assigned the same reference numerals. The computer 20 comprises a host processor 22 connected to a host system interface 23. The stable memory circuit 21 comprises two memory banks 24(a) and 24(b), each comprising a plurality of VRAMs 3 which, for clarity, are not illustrated. Stable memory ports of the VRAMs 3 are connected to a stable memory bus 25 which connects each memory bank 24(a) and 24(b) to a stable data engine 26. The circuit 21 further comprises a dedicated stable memory control means, namely, a master controller 40 and a slave controller 48. The master controller 40 and the host system interface 23 are connected via the processor bus 6 to the slave controller 48, which is in turn connected to the memory banks 24(a) and 24(b), also via the processor bus 6. The master controller 40 is connected via links 29 to other computers. The stable data engine 26 is constructed from logic circuits and the slave controller 28 is constructed from logic circuits or a variant of presently available graphics processors.
In operation, the master controller 40 carries out high-level functions and fault handling. Invocation of stable memory operations is carried out by queuing calls in a memory bank. The master controller 40 passes lower-level duties to the slave controller 28, which manages each of the two memory banks 24(a) and 24(b), and the stable data engine 26.
Referring specifically to FIG. 4, the links 29 allow the master controller 40 and the slave controller 48 to be remotely booted, and the booting instructions may be stored in a memory bank 24(a) or 24(b). The links 29 also allow the master controller 40 carry out fault recovery operations in isolation from the host processor 22. This is important in the event that the host processor 22 is faulty.
The stable memory operations carried out by the stable data engine 26 may include copying, comparing, and searches including maximum/minimum, equal/not-equal, or inside-limits/outside-limits type searches. For the stable data engine 26 to perform a function, the master controller 40 must co-ordinate the following sequence:
1. tell the slave controller 48 to transfer from address A of the memory bank 24(a).
2. tell the slave controller 48 to transfer to address B of
the memory bank 24(b).
3. tell the stable data engine 48 to process the data.
4. wait for completion.
5. read results from the stable data engine 26.
Serial transfers may be carried out in random fashion starting from any desired bit in the shift register and for any desired number of bits. Thus, there is complete flexibility in the manner in which stable memory operations are carried out.
To give an example of the speed with which data is transferred between the memory banks 24(a) and 24(b), if each bank is constructed from sixty-four, 256 k �4 VRAMs, there can be a 256 bit wide �40 Mbit/sec data path between the VRAMs and the stable data engine, which is capable of transferring 1280 Mbytes/sec. The stable memory port may be bussed between stable memory boards, so in this embodiment the serial data paths are reduced to 32 bits wide to reduce the influence of connector pin failures, resulting in a 32 bit �40Mbit/sec inter-board data path capable of transferring 160 Mbytes/sec.
There are a number of ways of performing stable memory operations. For example, with atomic stable memory copying, the following sequence of operations may be performed by the stable data engine 26:
1. Copy N bytes from bank 24(a) address A to bank 24(b) address B.
2. Compare N bytes from bank 24(a) address A with N bytes from bank 24(b) address B.
This is perhaps the simplest sequence. More comprehensive atomic stable memory operations typically involve more copying. In all cases flags must be released and set in the correct order to nominate the currently valid copy.
It will be appreciated that operation of the stable data engine 26 is concurrent with operation of the host processor 22, and it provides for a much greater data handling capacity for a computer system. It will also be appreciated that the stable data engine may fall within a wide range of complexity, depending on the stable memory operations to be supported. Further, the stable data engine need not intercept the stable memory ports as shown in FIG. 3, but may instead simply monitor the stable memory ports, which will then be directly connected between the memory banks as shown in FIG. 1 and will typically allow faster data transfer.
Referring now to FIG. 5, there is illustrated portion of a an alternative computer, indicated generally by the reference numeral 35 incorporating a stable memory circuit 36, host processors 37 and host caches 38. Again, like parts are assigned the same reference numerals. The stable memory circuit 36 comprises a control circuit 39 and a memory circuit 45. The control circuit 39 comprises a master controller 40 and a slave circuit 48, each connected to cache circuits 41. The cache circuits 41 are also connected directly to the processor bus 6. A protection logic circuit 43 and a pair of port logic circuit arrays (PLCAs) 44(a) and 44(b) are connected to the processor bus 6. The memory circuit 45 includes a pair of error detection and correction circuits (EDC circuits) 46(a) and 46(b), and a pair of port controllers (PCTLs) 47(a) and 47(b) connected to the cache circuits 41.
The stable memory circuit 36 essentially carries out the same functions as the stable memory circuits previously described. The additional circuits are used to improve performance. For example, the EDC circuits 46(a) and 46(b) perform both error detection and consequent correction of data. The PCTLs 47(a) and 47(b) handle error logging of the address, syndrome, parity, and the double-bit error flag as well as VRAM control. The PCLAs 44(a) and 44(b) also carry out error detection and control of ports 0 and port 1, and in general additional circuits in the stable memory circuit 36 cater for hardware errors and for continuing satisfactory operation in the event of failure of a single component. In this embodiment, both the master and slave controllers 40 and 48 are transputers and the distinction between them is more apparent than real, since after initialization the two share the same workload as evenly as possible. It is envisaged that in general there would be more than one of the memory circuits 45 and each would be on a separate circuit board. Each memory assembly 45 would be battery-backed, as would memory circuits of all of the above embodiments.

Manny Pacquiao's future is now uncertain following the result of his latest boxing match.
In Saturday night's fight against Juan Manuel Marquez, Pacquiao would collect his second consecutive loss after getting knocked out by Marquez in the final seconds of the sixth round. Pacquiao was lay motionless in the ring for a couple of minutes before getting assisted into a sitting position.
Following the outcome from the fight, Pacquaio's future seems to be unclear and has two possible choices, a fifth match against Marquez or retirement.
Pacquaio's trainer Freddie Roach told Yahoo Sports that he wants to see Pacquaio train in the gym once again before continuing with his boxing career and before choosing one of the two options.
"Possible retirement, possible rematch; I'm not sure which way we're going to go right now," said Roach to Yahoo Sports. "It really depends upon how he feels and what he wants to do. We'll get back in the gym and if I see signs of decline, I'll tell him to retire. If I don't I'll tell him to go on."
On Saturday night following the match Pacquaio was taken to the hospital and was given a CT scan were the results were negative, according to ESPN. He did not appear to the post fight news conference in order to get observes by medical personnel.
Pacquaio did lead in the score cards prior to the sixth round knockout. According to ESPN Pacquaio was ahead of Marquez 47-46 on all three judges' score cards. By the end of the fight Maruez improved to 55-6-1 with 40 knockouts and Pacquiao fell to 54-5-2 according to the Associated Press.

It's on the right front face of the Genie. Push near the top edge and the door will pop open, the red button is inside. Leave the card as is.
Re: Problems with Caller IDjgm2626 Sep 13, 2013 10:23 AM (in response to frenchell)
I am having the same issue -- just had the Genie installed a few days back, works flawlessly except for the caller id issue with "unknown caller" popping up every 30 seconds after a call comes in.
It recognizes the original call but then it goes "unknown caller" crazy during the call -- it also fill ups the caller ID log and stops future caller id's from popping up until I clear the log.
Will try the red button reset tonight to see if it works.....
Caller ID has always been a problem with my DIRECTV Receivers -- 14 year subscriber and counting but they can't seem to nail down the caller ID feature for some reason...

This issue is not resolved. DirectTV on the telephone gives you a lot of double-speak about "call back in 30 days, it should be resolved".
Re: Problems with Caller IDlitzdog911 Apr 5, 2014 9:32 AM (in response to bobbellbob)
Caller ID has always been a rather flaky feature on DirecTV's Receivers/DVRs. Too many different types of phone systems. And I don't it's a high priority feature for them. Don't get your hopes up for any sort of "fix".
Re: Problems with Caller IDlhbaumann Jul 24, 2014 1:03 PM (in response to litzdog911)
About a year ago I added a H25 HiDef receiver. a few days later I noticed caller id didn't work. I do have the maintenance support. When call to DTV support couldn't get it working and they tried to say they couldn't replace it just for caller id I pointed out that they list caller id as a feature on their website on a chart that checks all their units that (are supposed to) support it and that I wanted it fixed. They installed a new unit. I just checked today (7/24/14) and the website still shows that feature.
Re: Problems with Caller IDlitzdog911 Jul 24, 2014 4:54 PM (in response to lhbaumann)
Yes, it's a "feature". But, like I said, it's a flaky feature. I'm surprised they replaced your Receiver because of it. Does the new Receivier's Caller ID work properly? Was it also an H25 Receiver?
Re: Problems with Caller IDlhbaumann Jul 25, 2014 2:34 PM (in response to litzdog911)
Yes the new receiver is a H25. I have one H25, two HR24-200's, one active and one retired HR20-700 all of which are or have been used with caller id. After the original H25 was swapped out the caller id worked fine. I will say though, recently caller id has become very flakey on all receivers currently in use and on the phones we have with caller id.. some times calls come in without triggering caller id display at all, other times caller id kicks off but without any identification information available (these wind up without making call log entries). Since this is happening on caller id phones as well as all the DTV receivers I am suspecting likely phone company (ATT) issues rather than DTV.

MOSCOW — One of the imprisoned members of the Russian punk group Pussy Riot declared a hunger strike on Monday to protest what she described as inhumane working conditions and threats to her life at a women's penal colony.
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova is serving a two-year sentence for "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred." She and two other group members were arrested in early 2012 after Pussy Riot burst into Moscow's main Orthodox cathedral and tried to perform a "punk prayer" denouncing Vladimir Putin.

BangTheBook.com Preseason Top 25: #5 Ohio State Buckeyes
- Updated: July 28, 2014
The Preseason AP Top 25 poll won't come out until next month, but here at BangTheBook.com, we're giving you a Top 25 from a betting perspective. Using power ratings to determine the top 25 teams in college football, readers will have the opportunity to look at what the preseason Top 25 might look like if designed by a bettor. Each article will feature a preview of that team with a write-up for each position and an explanation of why the position group was rated that way and some further insight into the methodology of creating power ratings.
The Methodology: Each team is rated up to 100 with eight different position groups considered. Quarterbacks, offensive and defensive lines, and coaching are graded on a scale of 4 to 15, while running backs, wide receivers, linebackers, and defensive backs are graded on a scale of 4 to 10 in half-point increments.
Groups are rated on returning production, potential, previous performance, and a handful of other variables. Information was gathered from all corners of the college football world, including preseason magazines, websites dedicated to specific teams, national college football websites, and more.
The #5 team on the BangTheBook.com Preseason Top 25 is THE Ohio State University Buckeyes.
Quarterbacks (15/15)
Braxton Miller enters the year as a Heisman Trophy candidate and his improvement as a passer was truly evident in his junior season. Now as a senior, expectations are the highest they've ever been for Miller as Carlos Hyde is gone and backup quarterback Kenny Guiton is lighting up the Arena Football League. Miller averaged 6.2 yards per carry last season and threw for just over 2,000 yards and 24 touchdowns. In the second year of Urban Meyer's offense, the Buckeyes jumped from 37.2 to 45.5 points per game and improved by over 90 yards per game. Miller's development has been a major part and he should have his best season yet. Behind Miller are Cardale Jones and JT Barrett, who reportedly looked great in the spring game and subsequent practices.
Running Backs (8.5/10)
As you read through this Ohio State report and wonder how they could possibly be above other SEC schools or Oregon, keep in mind that relative strength of other units in the conference is also a consideration. The bellcow, Carlos Hyde, departs and the Buckeyes also lose second-leading rusher among running backs Jordan Hall. What returns, however, is a trio of Urban Meyer recruits in Ezekiel Elliott, Bri'onte Dunn, and Dontre Wilson, who is more of a slot receiver that runs sweeps. There's no bruiser here, but power running was never really Meyer's style and this group may better fit what he wants to do. That being said, it's hard to argue with Hyde's production and that's a big loss. He ran for 1,527 yards and 15 touchdowns. He missed the first three games of the season.
Wide Receivers (8.5/10)
Leading receiver Corey "Philly" Brown went undrafted, but left for the NFL. Four of the top five in receiving yards remain, including one of the conference's top tight ends, Jeff Heuerman, and one has to imagine that Dontre Wilson will be more involved in the passing game as well. Devin Smith caught 44 passes and eight touchdowns last season as the most experienced returning wide receiver, but other talented recruits are waiting in the wings.
Offensive Line (13.5/15)
The Buckeyes return one starting lineman, LT Taylor Decker, from last season's team, which helped the Buckeyes to 6.8 yards per carry. Alabama transfer Chad Lindsay should be the starting center and experienced players will surround him on the line. The sole reason for the 13.5 score here despite the talent is that the Buckeyes lost one second team All-American, two first team Big Ten players, and a second team Big Ten player. That's a lot to overcome in one season and continuity may be an issue, especially if Meyer's playbook includes more sideline-to-sideline running without Hyde.
Defensive Line (15/15)
To say that this group is stacked is an understatement. This may be the best defensive line in the country. The Buckeyes will be without Noah Spence for the first two games of 2014 for a positive drug test that kept him out of the Orange Bowl against Clemson, but when he returns, the Buckeyes will have he and Joey Bosa at the ends, with Adolphus Washington and Michael Bennett on the interior. The Buckeyes allowed 3.3 yards per carry and racked up 42 sacks last season and these four guys accounted for 24.5 sacks and 19 tackles for loss.
Linebackers (8/10)
This is where it gets really interesting for Ohio State and why there's so much optimism entering this season. The loss of Ryan Shazier is big, but the addition of #1 linebacker recruit Raekwon McMillan and #6 linebacker recruit Dante Booker mean that playing time and jobs are at stake. The concern is that Meyer brought along safeties Tyvis Powell and Vonn Bell rather slowly despite their top-notch billing, so he could do the same here. That would leave Joshua Perry and Curtis Grant as the primary linebackers. As Meyer recruits get more playing time, expect the Ohio State defense to improve.
Defensive Backs (8.5/10)
This, like the linebacking corps, is an intriguing area of the team. The Buckeyes pass defense was terrible last season. They were torched by Michigan, outsmarted by Michigan State, and torched by Clemson. The Buckeyes gave up 286 passing yards per game in conference, though they did win a lot of blowouts. Bradley Roby left for the NFL after mailing in his senior season and safeties CJ Barnett and Christian Bryant are also gone. Meyer attacked the problem areas in recruiting with Powell, Bell, McMillan, and Booker, not to mention Damon Webb and Marshon Lattimore, two more top-15 defensive back recruits. Top recruits are no guarantee, but the potential is there.
Coaching (15/15)
Urban Meyer and offensive coordinator Tom Herman have reenergized the Buckeyes offense and have created a juggernaut. The Buckeyes ran for over 300 yards per game and scored over 45 points per game. New defensive coordinator Chris Ash was the defensive coordinator for two years at Wisconsin before moving with Bret Bielema to Arkansas last season. Larry Johnson was a tremendous steal from Penn State to be the new defensive line coach and assistant head coach. Ohio State recruits exceptionally well and Meyer has a solid support system around him from assistants and coordinators.
Total: 91
The Buckeyes are the last of three teams tied with a rating of 91. By virtue of the highest coaching rating, they are the #5 team in this Preseason Top 25. The Buckeyes are coming off a disappointing season because of how it ended. Recruits from the tail end of the Jim Tressel era and the one year of Luke Fickell are mostly gone and that leaves Meyer recruits that are going to fit the system significantly better than the previous players. From an athleticism standpoint, the Buckeyes are clearly the class of the Big Ten.
People may sleep on the Buckeyes at various points throughout the season because of their highly-publicized losses at the end of the season and the loss of Carlos Hyde. This is still a team that is very close to elite status with a very high ceiling because of the program's talent level and a coach that knows how to utilize and maximize talent.
Also understand that relative conference strength plays a big role in these numbers. Power ratings can be done in a lot of different ways and one of the elements in these is to shade a team's ratings based on the conference that they're in. Ohio State probably wouldn't be favored over Georgia, Auburn, or some of the other teams below them on this list, but they won't play each other until a potential bowl game, at which point the numbers will require adjustment anyway.
The Buckeyes have a ton of talent and also have a bad taste to wash away from the end of last season. That's plenty good enough to be in the top five of the Preseason Top 25.
