The present invention generally relates to methods of adding storage space to a server. More particularly, the invention relates to dynamically linking storage space to a server without powering down the server.
Dynamic storage space linking is the ability to add additional disk drive images corresponding to the additional storage space to one or more active servers and link the disk drive images to the one or more active servers without powering down the servers. Presently, to add storage space to a server in a client/server system, the server is required to be powered down before the storage space can be added to the server. In a typical process for adding storage space, the storage space is created as an additional disk drive image in a server description, and then the disk drive image is linked to the server while the server is powered down. When the server is powered back up, the initial server loading program performs the tasks required to complete the link between the server and the disk drive image, and the newly linked disk drive image becomes available to clients connected to the server once the server becomes active.
However, many systems require the server to be available at all times, and powering down an active server for installation of a new storage space is undesirable. One current solution to add disks to an active server utilizes a special bus and devices attached to a server through the special bus. USB (Universal Serial Bus) and IEEE 1394 (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers standard 1394) are two bus types that support hot pluggable devices. However, devices designed for connection to USB or IEEE 1394 buses are typically not designed to be used as a server's disk drive or storage space. Disks attached to a server are typically connected through a SCSI (Small Computer System Interface), and SCSI devices are usually not hot pluggable devices.
Another solution for adding disks to an active server requires special hardware. For example, a SCSI disk drive may be added to a special hardware disk bay, such as a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) tower, while the server is active. However, the special hardware requires additional cost and may also require special knowledge during initial installation of the special hardware.
Therefore, a need exists for a method for adding storage space to a server without powering down the server. It is desirable for the storage space to be added without requiring installation of special hardware or physically installing additional storage devices to the server. It is further desired for the method to be simple to perform and fast in execution.
A method for adding storage space to a server without powering down the server is provided. The method provides for the storage space to be added without requiring installation of special hardware or physically installing additional storage devices to the server, and the method is simple to perform and fast in execution.
One embodiment provides a method for dynamically linking a storage space to a network server, comprising: adding a new disk drive image to a network server description for the network server through a host server operating system, the new disk drive image corresponding to the storage space to be linked; sending a dynamic linking request from the host server operating system to a network server operating system; in response to the dynamic linking request, sending a device scanning request from the network server operating system to the host server operating system; in response to the device scanning request, requesting response from each device connected to each SCSI port of a host server and reporting the new disk drive image to the network server operating system; and presenting the new disk drive image to users connected to the network server.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a client/server system having a host server and a plurality of network servers.
FIG. 2 is a flow chart illustrating one embodiment of a method for dynamically linking storage space.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a client/server system having a host server and a plurality of network servers. The client/server system 100 includes a host server 110 and one or more network servers 130 disposed in connection with the host server 110. A plurality of clients 150 (e.g., client computers and network stations) may be connect to the host server 110 and/or the network servers 130 through local area networks, wide area networks, and remote access connections. The clients 150 may communicate through TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) with the servers 110, 130.
The one or more network servers 130 may comprise one or more integrated servers built on a PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) or SPD (System Product Division) card that can be installed onto PCI or SPD slots of the host server. The network servers 130 may be housed in the same housing as the host server. Alternatively, network servers 130 may be housed in one or more separate housings. The host server 110 and the network servers 130 are connected and communicate through an internal LAN (local area network) connection (e.g., a PCI bus).
The host server 110 includes one or more processors 112, memory 114, an I/O (input/output) processor 116, and a system bus 111 connecting these components. Input/output devices such as a display monitor 118, a keyboard 120, and a pointing device 122 (e.g., mouse) are connected to the host server 110 through the I/O processor 116. One or more storage devices 124, such as direct access storage device (DASD), tape storage devices, CD-ROM (compact disc read only memory), and other optical or magnetic storage devices, may be connected to the host server 110 through SCSI bus/ports 117 connected to the I/O processor 116. Data files, software programs, and other information may be stored on the storage devices 124. One or more software programs, such as a host server operating system 126 (e.g., IBM OS/400) and a host server administration software program 128, may be stored in memory 114 or alternatively, in the storage devices 124. Operation of the host server operating system 126 and the host server 110 may be controlled by user input through I/O devices such as the keyboard 120 and the pointing device 122.
The network server 130 includes one or more processors 132, memory 134, a bridge/support logic 136 and one or more LAN cards 148. These components of the network server are connected to a PCI bus 131, which connects the network server to the I/O processor 116 of the host server 110. Input/output devices such as a display monitor 138, a keyboard 140, and a pointing device 142 (e.g., mouse) are connected to the network server 130 through the bridge/support logic 136. Additional I/O ports 143 may include one or more serial ports and parallel ports. One or more software programs, such as a network server operating system 146 (e.g., Windows 2000 and Windows NT server operating systems) may be stored in memory 134. Operation of the network server operating system 146 and the network server 130 may be controlled by user input through I/O devices such as the keyboard 140 and the pointing device 142.
The network server operating system described herein refers to any server operating system that can use a software disk drive image that appears to the network server as a physical disk drive. For example, the IBM Integrated xSeries server for iSeries supports such software disk drive image when running a server operating system such as Windows 2000. The disk drives in such exemplar environment are actually IFS (Integated File System) files that are presented to the Windows server as disk drives. Disk drive images appear to the network server operating system as a disk drive with the help of a disk driver and lower layer processes (e.g., SLIC or System Licensed Internal Code through a TIMI or Technology Independent Machine Interface) that can read from the file similar to a normal disk driver that can read from a hard disk. The disk drive image is partitioned, formatted, and supports all the normal disk drive requests that the network server operating system expects.
A commercial example of a client/server system having a host server and a plurality of network servers is the IBM iSeries server (host) with the IBM xSeries integrated servers. Although embodiments of the invention are described utilizing commands for the IBM OS/400� operating system running on IBM iSeries server and in connection with the IBM xSeries integrated servers running a Windows� 2000 server operating system, it is understood that other embodiments may be practiced on other server systems and other operating systems.
FIG. 2 is a flow chart illustrating one embodiment of a method for dynamically linking storage space. In one embodiment, the processes performed on or by the host server operating system is shown in FIG. 2A, and the processes performed on or by the network server operating system is shown in FIG. 2B. Prior to linking a storage space, a disk drive image representing the storage space is created on the host server. The storage space may include existing data which may be utilized immediately after the dynamic linking process. In one embodiment, the disk drive image is created as a file which is equivalent in size as the amount of space required for the storage space to be added. For example, if an additional 2 gigabytes of disk space is required for the server, then a 2 gigabyte file is created for the disk drive image. The data that is stored in the file is the information the host server operating system will recognize as the master boot record of the disk. As an example, the disk drive image may be created on an IBM iSeries server running OS/400 using a command called “create network server storage” (CRTNWSSTG). A name (e.g., DYNSTG1) is given to the disk drive image which is used to manage the disk drive image in the dynamic linking process 200 described below. The disk drive image creation step is not considered part of the dynamic link process, but is required for the existence of a disk drive image.
The dynamic linking process 200 begins at step 202 in which the newly created disk drive image (e.g., DYNSTG1) is added to the server description at the network server operating system's list of allocated disk drive images. For each network server running in this environment, a list is stored in a server description which keeps track of various items including the disk drives being used by the respective network server. This list contains the names of the disk drives allocated to the respective server in the same order that is required for the respective server to boot properly. The first disk in the list is the bootable image, followed by any additional disks required for the server. The server description (e.g., SERVER1) which is used on the IBM iSeries server is known as Network Server Description (NWSD). The command used to add the new disk drive image to the server description on the IBM iSeries server is the “add network server storage link” (ADDNWSSTGL) command. By specifying both the server name and the disk drive image name on the command, the new disk drive image name gets stored in the server description list of disk drive images.
After the new disk drive image name is stored in the server description, a process to lock that storage space for use of the server is performed at step 204. To lock the storage space for use of the server, the network server description file is opened, and the open pointers that are used in lower level code to get direct access to the data held inside the disk drive image are stored into a different area of the network server description. After the open pointers are stored in the network server description, a program call is performed with a specific parameter to inform an ADMIN MONITOR JOB program on the host server that a dynamic storage link process is being performed.
The ADMIN MONITOR JOB is a program that runs on the host server operating system and is used for integration between the host server operating system and a network server (e.g., an integrated server) operating system. The ADMIN MONITOR JOB performs many functions including, but not limited to, time synchronization, power up and power down management, user profile synchronization, sending remote commands, and retrieving server statistics. Some functions performed by the ADMIN MONITOR JOB may be executed by the ADMIN DAEMON program running on the network server operating system.
The ADMIN DAEMON is a program which continually runs on the network server operating system and waits for requested tasks. When the ADMIN DAEMON receives a request from the ADMIN MONITOR JOB, the ADMIN DAEMON performs the requested task and responds back with the results when the task is completed. The ADMIN MONITOR JOB and the ADMIN DAEMON communicate through a TCP/IP socket interface.
The ADMIN MONITOR JOB receives notification that a dynamic link request is being performed and builds a dynamic link request envelope to be sent to the ADMIN DAEMON program running on the network server operating system (step 206). The ADMIN MONITOR JOB may send the dynamic link request envelope through a socket interface on a TCP/IP LAN connection. The dynamic link request envelope states that a dynamic link request is being performed and that a rescan of the SCSI bus on the host server needs to be performed. After the ADMIN MONITOR JOB sends the envelope packet, an event timer is set on the host operating system which waits for a response back from the ADMIN DAEMON on the network server system.
After the ADMIN DAEMON receives notification of the dynamic link request from the admin monitor job, the ADMIN DAEMON informs the network server's DASD (Direct Access Storage Device) device driver that the SCSI bus needs to be rescanned to find the additional storage space corresponding to the new disk drive image (step 208). For the IBM integrated xSeries server running Windows� 2000, this is done using provided APIs (Application Program Interface) to signal the disk driver and passing a defined IOCTL (Input/Output Control code) which informs the disk driver to rescan the SCSI bus.
The DASD device driver receives notification of rescan request via the IOCTL and verifies that the rescan request is valid. The DASD device driver then sends a request (e.g., a call) to the disk management program on the host server operating system (step 210). The disk management program is the code which manages the open disk image files on the host operating system. The disk management program on the host server is requested to re-scan the SCSI bus.
In response to the call from the DASD device driver, the disk management program on the host server operating system views the list of open disk drive image pointers stored in the network server description and reports back to the DASD device driver that a new disk drive is available (step 212). The DASD device driver receives notification that the new disk drive (i.e., the storage space represented by the new disk drive image) is available, and then the DASD device driver informs the network server operating system that a change occurred on the affected SCSI bus (step 214).
In response to the detected change on the SCSI bus, the network server operating system requests response from each device connected to each SCSI port (step 216). During this step, the network server operating system detects the new disk drive image as a newly added disk drive and presents the new disk drive image to users of the server that a new disk is available. The newly added storage space becomes immediately useable.
The following steps describe responses for completing the dynamic linking process 200. Once the network server operating system has been informed that a change was detected on the SCSI bus at the completion of step 214, the DASD device driver sends a response (e.g., a return code) to the IOCTL that was sent by the ADMIN DAEMON to inform the ADMIN DAEMON that the rescan of the SCSI bus has been completed (step 218). At step 220, the ADMIN DAEMON sends a response packet through the TCP/IP socket to the ADMIN MONITOR JOB with the status of the dynamic link and completion of the requested tasks. At step 222, the ADMIN MONITOR JOB responds to the program call from step 204 with a return code to inform the completion status of the dynamic link. At step 224, the process call to lock the storage space returns a response to the “add network server storage link” (ADDNWSSTGL) command with a return code to inform the completion status of the dynamic link. At step 226, the “add network server storage link” (ADDNWSSTGL) command informs the user that the dynamic link process has completed.

Where is Brian? Brian is shaving his bottom, in the kitchen | Gaffe-iti
« Shoes maketh the man… but breaketh the relationship
C’est la rentree de dingue – when the crazies come home »
Where is Brian? Brian is shaving his bottom, in the kitchen
The best thing about taking a remedial language course is that you form bonds with people from different countries, based on slagging off people from other countries.
Before I go on, are their any Russians reading? Arabs?
Good. We’ll continue.
Given immunity today were The Austrians* and The Japanese – by virtue of the fact that they were represented in class. The Italian guy wasn’t so lucky, he always seems to cop his share, likewise me as an Australian.
Teacher: You didn’t work today?
Teacher: Well you’re dressed like that.
Obviously the teacher was not a fan of linen pants. That made two of us, but I was trying to make the Italian feel at home.
Today we revised some basic pronunciation, namely perfecting the difference between saying “neck” (cou) and “arse” (cul).
At this point the Italian had an “ah-ha!” moment: He had been having his hair cut earlier in the week, and now realised he had told the hairdresser “make sure you shave my arse properly”.
With our new found pronunciation skills, we then compared notes about The Russians, uniformly coming to the conclusion that they are absolutely the worst type of tourists, except for perhaps The Gulf Arabs.
The discussion ended with:
“…And when they wear those t-shirts with the hair exploding out of them…Usch”.
I remember this distinctly, because in addition to linen pants, I was also wearing a V-neck t-shirt from which my ample chest hair was sprouting.
In any case, we all left that evening satisfied that we’d improved our ability to express ourselves in French, even if just a little.
Still, learning languages later in life, and in evening courses is not the best way to do it. In France, English is taught in schools, and from what I can gather, children across the country uniformly learn from the same text book.
This text book has the following phrase (immortalised by French comic Gad Elmaleh):
“Brian is in the kitchen.”
The fact that every French person knows this line is testament to the power of this text book to enlighten…but it does also cause its fair share of confusion.
For example, if someone asks, “Where is Brian?” Does it follow that the answer must always be: “…in the kitchen?”
Julie F’s brother recently found out. The poor young Frenchman is working in Brisbane – it gets worse – in a restaurant – worse still – with someone called, Brian (yes, in Australian apparently the name lives on past the 1970s).
The other day his boss arrived late. “Where is Brian?” He asked her brother.
Automatically the response, without a second thought: “Brian is in the kitchen.”
The boss went to the kitchen, looked in, around, under the stove, inside the cool room. And then returned.
“No, I didn’t see him. Are you sure he is in the kitchen?”
The brother shrugged. If Brian’s not in the kitchen, where else would he be?
*Note, The Austrians are distinct to just plain Austrians, who are people just like you or me, but potentially wearing leiderhosen.

As a native French speaker, I have to precise one point: the famous cue “where is Brian?” is very famous indeed but mainly from Gad Elmaleh’s show; it is not entirely true that all 1st-year textbooks include this line in their teaching method… (at least not in mine)

Chiang Mai city center; 25 Km.Carlos et Dirk sont des hôtes formidables et très avenants. Le lieu est très paisible, la jardin fabuleux et les logements très biens. C'est un endroit parfait pour trouver le repos et la beauté de la nature. Merci beaucoup pour ce séjour Matthieu2015-08-17T00:00:00ZHad a wonderfull stay at Carlos & Dirk, we felt really at home. They picked us up at the Chiang Mai trainstation and told us that we got a free upgrade, what a suprise! The villa that we stayed in looked really luxurious and was clean. They also arranged a moterbike for us for 1 week for thb 1250,- which is a good price. There was also a laundry machine which we could use for free, you just have to fight your way trough the peacocks to get there ;-). Also these gentlemen recommended us some nice places and restaurants to visit, boy where they right about that one restaurant by the way, Nasi Jumpru (asian fushioncooking). So far this has been the highlight of our trip, would definitly book at Carlos & Dirk again if we visit Chiang Mai again. Thank you Carlos & Dirk for making us feel so welcome!Steffan2015-02-16T00:00:00ZCarlos & Dirk have a magnificent place. It was very beautiful, peaceful and quiet. The villa we stayed in was amazing. Very spacious and well presented. Carlos & Dirk were also very helpful and willing to act as a taxi service for us. Definitely recommend staying here.Jeremy2016-10-05T00:00:00ZWe had a great stay at Carlos and Dirk place. They even uprgraded us in a villa instead of the studio that we've booked. The place is exactly as on the pictures, the lake and animals are there and are very beautiful. It was very quiet too so very nice. It was a little bit far from Chang Mai so we had to rent a motorbike but it was good because it was part of our journey. Carlos and Dirk are really nice people, we surely go back there to have a peaceful and quiet stay. Lili & Chris2015-12-01T00:00:00ZWe stayed 3 days at Kinkala Garden. It was a beautiful area, it was 20-30 minutes out from Chiang Mai so perfect if you are looking for a more relaxing, calm environment. There are 2 convenient stores within walking distance and 2 local restaurants however one closes at 5pm while the other (the one across the lake) opens at 5pm but is closed on Monday. Garden had peacocks and birds, which was fun but be aware that the rooster will crow every morning at about 5am (good place for early risers).Garret2016-05-19T00:00:00ZService remarquable, accueil irréprochable des hôtes vraiment exceptionnels, un site super beau avec plein d'étangs et d'oiseaux exotiques, une tranquillité assurée, une maison vraiment propre et décorée avec goût, à deux pas du site un lac avec des couchers de soleil a couper le souffle. Bref un séjour inoubliable. Nous y avons passé un mois merveilleux. Merci à vous deux pour ce site de tout repos.. Carole et Marcel, Québec, Canada Marcel2015-02-03T00:00:00ZDirk and Carlos have done their best to make my stay comfortable. They have a large and beautiful property, a sort of botanical garden. But the place is quite remote and there are only a few small chops in the neighborhood. The matrass is on the hard side, there has been a problem with water in the toilet and the kitchen is poorly equipped. You have to bring everything as there is not even a bit of salt. It's ok if you have your own means of transport, otherwise you may spent a lot of money to get around.Guy2016-12-03T00:00:00ZHeaven on earth - a beautiful place to stay, wonderful surroundings and great hosts. Even better than it looks on the photos. This really felt like a home away from home for us - we especially loved all the birds and pet cats. They provided lots of amusement! We originally booked for two nights but extended to nine as we felt like we had such a good deal. Dirk and Carlos made everything easy - from airport pick up, car rental (we really appreciated this) and advice on the best local markets! Would recommend renting a car or a motorbike for day trips and restaurants. You can also hire bicycles from Dirk and Carlos to explore the local countryside, which was a real highlight for us. Try Need cafe (it's yellow) right out side the property - great organic coffees and home made cakes that are super cheap. Go off the beaten track and relax in paradise!

Chiang Mai city center; 25 Km.Carlos and Dirk are very kind people who will welcome you warmly and help you with anything you need. The place is beautiful, calm, near a lake. Also it is full of animals such as peacocks and swans so it makes it a bit special. Again, very lovely place! Just one recommendation: bring your own gel/shampoo/drinking water as it is quite far from the city. You can also find everything you need at a shop nearby (5min walking). JP2017-02-04T00:00:00ZWarning: this place is NOT as advertised. It is MUCH BETTER! I think Dirk and Carlos have understated the draw and amenities present. I won't spoil your surprise(s)... suffice to say that it's more beautiful and more plush and more natural than I expected. Dirk and Carlos were excellent hosts, definitely attentive to their guests needs. In my case, that included waiting with me at the hospital after a motorcycle mishap had me walking around on crutches for days. Outside the compound, there is a lovely circular lake, good for a 20 minute walk. A few restaurants (one "street food" level and another a bit above). A great little open-air coffee spot, with some of the best coffee I've had in Thailand. A great place for writing and watching the sun set. (Buy some fish food from the coffee house, and watch the fish in the lake churn the water...) The apartment was pretty fantastic. Long, narrow, and with windows that catch both the sunrise and sunset. Perfect for solo or a couple. Only drawback: the apartment is filled with light, except for the small but serviceable kitchen, which is dark. A joy: fixing breakfast, then sitting out on the patio in the morning light. A pain: well... none.Shariff2017-01-18T00:00:00ZArt der UnterkunftGanze UnterkunftObjekttypWohnungUnterkunft für2SchlafzimmerChiang Mai, Chiang Mai, ThailandKinkala Luxus Gartenwohnung 2Preis51 CHF Kinkala Luxus Gartenwohnung 2Ganze Unterkunft · 1 Bett2 BewertungenSave to Wish ListAn easy place to stay for coming and visiting Lamphun, an old town with ancient temples everywhere.

The rooms are large, lots of windows, all new fixtures, AC, and kept very clean. It is on a small quiet street. The hotel is near to the airport and roughly 2 or 3 Km from the tourist attractions (Buddhist temples and teak mansions) in the in the city center. Q went out of his way to make me feel welcome. He is knowledgeable about the area and had good suggestions for sight seeing opportunities. My interest in renting a motorcycle during my stay is an example of the superlative service he provides. Phrae only has one rental shop unfortunately not close to the hotel. Q made arrangements for me and gave me a free ride to pick-up and drop-off the motorcycle.

Signs and Shadows: Moral Cowardice in the Modern Age
Moral Cowardice in the Modern Age
A particularly unpleasant episode in my personal life got me reflecting on morality and moral actions in the modern world. It would appear to me that the modern mind is lacking in the ability to understand that good not only means to avoid evil, but that we are obliged to do good.
Obliged. That is a word we do not hear often these days. And yet it is just as true today that we do wrong not just by commiting evil, but by our omission to do what is right. Helping the poor, telling the truth, even a simple act such as an apology are all obligations that we owe to our neighbor, and to fail in such actions can be just as wrong as doing something wrong.
This simple idea is lost on us I think because we find it is sufficient to simply feel bad about a particular situation. If we have done something wrong as long as we sufficiently torture ourselves with guilt this fulfills our obligation. I feel bad about the poor. Therefore I am a good person. I was a jerk and I feel bad, so I am a good person.
And yet all we really prove is that our conscience isn't so far dead that we can still distinguish between right and wrong. Guilt is simply a vector for us to do good. It is our conscience motivating us to do what is right. To simply feel guilty without actually doing something to fulfill our obligations is not an indication of a moral person, but simply moral cowardice. It is the attempt to feel like a moral person with the need of doing anything right.
It is thus not surprising that the Church calls us to make an act of repentance for what we do not do as much as what we do. In the opening prayer we say, "I have sinned through my own fault, in what I have done and did not do(failed to do)." In her wisdom She calls us to repentance for when we fail to do what we owe to others. For if we do not do what we are called, we will become just as lost as those who do wrong.

Natalie Brooke: Getting Married Is Not an Accomplishment342
I wrote my Astro Heroes series because I love mystery and astrology. I thought what if the talents and qualities of each sign were exaggerated, "Super-ized," and woven into a story about 12 kids and how they grow into their talents and abilities. In other words, how their individual hero or heroine quest can reflect our own abilities.

Sew It Up: October 2010
Not all of our new kits are just for the holidays. "Lala" and "Billie Jean" are not. Check them out if you get a chance on our website. So, what are the other kits? Didn't I say that there are 9 new kits?! Yes, but you'll have to come to Houston to see them! Like always, we make up kits that we should label as "limited editions". That really means that we do not have very many of them - less than 20. If they do not all sell at the Houston Quilt Festival, we will list them on Sew It Up. And, if I have time between now and next week, I will list them all on our site.
So, we load the trucks tomorrow. On Monday, November 1st, I will go to the Houston Market to see all of the new designer cottons for 2011. I'll be ordering for the shop as well as for new kits. Then, Tuesday, is check in and set up day at the George R Brown Convention Center for the Festival. I'll keep you posted!

The Original Sewing & Quilting Expo Chantilly, VA
We are back from Chantilly now, unpacked & inventoried. It was a great show! We sold out of many of our new kits and met lots of very friendly people. All of the pictures here are from our booth. The classes that I taught were wonderful ~ it always such a pleasure to share with others my passion for sewing and design! I had a most pleasurable visit with my daughter, Anna, in Charlottesville before the show and after ~ which I extended. It was not exactly by choice as I came down with a cold right after the show :( So, naturally, I had to rest up for the long drive back to Texas. How convenient!
It usually takes about a week to get the shop back in order and this time has been no exception. It looks really good again, but not for long - lol! The Houston International Quilt Festival is just around the corner. So, we are busy getting a few more new kits made. All of these will be for the holidays. We'll have a new baby jacket, two new skirts, a velvet dress and a peasant dress for children, a fun new lady's apron and more!
As soon as we get the new kits ready, we will "preview" them for you here on the blog. So, I will throw it into high gear in order to have time to leave early to make it to the Houston Quilt Market which is always right before the Festival. My Mom lives in Houston, so I will be spending extra time there for a good visit!
On a final note, having driven from Bristol (Virginia) up to Charlottesville and on up to Chantilly, I believe that the entire state is beautiful! I am looking forward to my next visit!

Day 5 –Zwaag and Family | Colin John Keats
Day 5 –Zwaag and Family
Oh how I enjoyed waking up to this breakfast (note the cinnamon bun looking thingies – very yummy:
I mentioned that the coffee is amazing in Holland; my only complaint is that it all comes in extremely small cups and I always want more. I think Europeans look at us North Americans as drinking way too much coffee at one sitting. Maybe that is why they all seem to work in a slightly lower gear than we do, to our detriment no doubt.
I don’t; think I showed the larger room that we weretransferred to after the first day, for the duration of our stay at De Hedera…
Sorry for the mess …
And of course the view outside shows ubiquitous bikes even first thing in the morning:
I have been looking forward to this day, because it is the day we were to meet Wil and Bep, distant cousins of mine from the same line as Louis Charles whom we met with his wife Laura on the first day; in fact they are first cousins, with whom we have been corresponding for many years via email. Wil is proficient at remembering everyone in my family’s birthdays and sends eCards or emails with greetings promptly and always takes into consideration the time difference.
Whereas Louis Charles and I had unfortunately lost track of each other due to computer malfunctions and email address changes, Wil and I have over the years regularly corresponded, sent pictures of new family members, our subdivision at different times of hte year and exchanged other information about the War Remembrances (ours on November 11, Hollands May 5th) and the Liberation of the Nederlands.
So I was excited when Wil said he would be happy to meet on the 4th, even though they had just the previous week taken the keys to a brand new house they had built in Zwaag and the inside wasn’t finished. He and Bep had actually been camping while they waited for the outside to be finished and the inside roughed in and plumbing installed so they could move in.
The house and subdivision is so new it does not show up on Google Maps. So Wil’s daughter Jacqueline (who had Wil’s computer at her house), sent me a map.
Jacqueline mentioned she was very interested to hear how our families were related and what other genealogy information I might have, so I knew there would be lots to talk about.
It is natural to feel uncertainty about meeting someone in person after only corresponding via email, regardless of whether they are family or not. We felt the same when we were heading to meet Louis Charles and we felt the same on this occasion; however, we were bolstered by the fact that we had had such a great experience with Louis and Laura.
So we headed out on the journey to Zwaag, cross the huge dam again:
It seemed as if Jeeps was trying to control her outburst, but couldn’t quite manage it, as she blurted out “In 200 metres, turn left!” once more, at this point:
“Really Jeeps?” I said.
Jeeps display screen
After which there was dead silence in the car.
We knew it wasn’t Jeeps’ fault. We trusted Jeeps to lead us to the right spot, once we got through the apparent magnetic field disruptions over the dam.
“We love Jeeps”. I said as I patted the dashboard where she resides.
“Always trust Jeeps,” said MLW.
And our trust was well-founded, as we arrived with no problem whatsoever, and were welcomed at the door by Wil and Bep.
as well as their lovely daughter Jacqueline
and her beautiful daughters 15 year old Jennifer and 17 year old Brigitte.
We were told in fact that Brigitte and Jennifer had been asked to come to help interpret. We were very grateful for their assistance and appreciated that they were giving up their Saturday to entertain visitors, something not lightly undertaken by most teenagers.
The family immediately presented us with this lovely basket of Dutch cookies, biscuits, candies and stroop, as well as a bottle ofvery nice Spanish wine, which Bep said she had had to take a flight to Spain earlier this morning in order to procure for us.
We had a look out the back deck, which overlooked a canal. Very beautiful setting.
Wil pointed out the road crossing the canal to the right of his house:
and said that eventually that would be removed and the canal would run straight through. Once that happened he would be able to take his Zodiac and travel all the way to Rotterdam if he desired.
I can’t imagine how cool that would be to take a trip like that.
As we settled into camping chairs and deck furniture in the unfinished living room, Jacqueline asked us to fill in the missing portions from my father on down, in her roughly drawn family tree which was hanging on the wall, while Brigitte had written down questions from her and Jennifer about our family and what life was like in Canada.
Brigitte asked if people in our side of the family were known to be stubborn.
“Oh yes! Very much so, especially my father Bryan and all of my children,” I said (leaving myself out as the obvious example of conciliation and accommodation, while MLW shook her head and looked on knowingly).
Brigitte continued to query MLW as I engaged in genealogical discussions with Jacqueline. There were many questions from Brigitte and Jennifer; MLW remembers these:
“What is Canada’s food?”
MLW answered beaver steak and maple syrup … no … she said there are so many cultures mixed in Canada ‘s origins that it is hard to pin down any one national food, although Maple Syrup may have to be the natural choice.
“Do Americans and Canadians really not like each other?”
MLW answered from personal experience that as individuals, there are many similarities between Canadians and Americans and as with any group of people there are nasty people and great people, by and large all of the individual Americans we have met have been great people and very welcoming. However, when it comes to politics and issues pertaining to trade, economy and sovereignty, Canada and the USA are wary partners and often don’t see eye to eye even while working closely together as part of North America.
Then, Wil and Bep’s other daughter, Diana arrived
with her husband Eric
and their children, 9 year old Tony and 7 year old twins Sven and Lars,
all blond with happy faces both innocent and mischievous at the same time. Three of the most polite and well-behaved young boys I have ever met.
Wil and Bep were gracious hosts, offering beer and wine and water and coke and biscuits and cookies and other goodies. Now, keep in mind this was all out of a cooler, as they were literally camping in their home.
Wil and Bep showed us around their home, which you could see was going to be very comfortable and well-appointed, once completed. They each had a room upstairs they could use for their own endeavours as well as the master bedroom and a very large bathroom. The upstairs rooms had excellent laminate hardwood already laid down. All of the bathrooms were finished, which had been a criteria for the m to move in, of course.
We discovered that there were some similarities between my work situation and Wil’s, as we were both able to retire early, due to downsizing of our respective organizations. Bep also is retired from an office administration position and they both play tennis for a hobby.
Jacqueline had a hard time describing what her occupation was, as the English eqiuivalents did not quite match up, but I believe she works in the real-estate/construction field, consulting, measuring and pricing out jobs.
Diana informed me that, although she was a registered massage therapist, that occupation does not allow her to work part-time, which she needed to do because of the demands of raising her children. Her husband Eric is a butcher and would love to have a farm one day, which Diana would like also, as long as it didn’t involve raising animals for slaughter. Diana is hoping to start up a photography-support business for realtors, which would allow her to work flexible hours and still earn income.
Jennifer is focusing on languages in her schooling and was in an accelerated learning class for English, as she was getting top grades.
Brigitte just graduated from high school and will study to be structural engineer. (If I get any of this information wrong, I hope the offended party will write me and I can edit accordingly!)
Wil showed us the secret to his uncanny ability to remember birthdays … an old-fashioned day planner/calendar that his father had started with all the family birthdays and he had continued on with. (I wish I had a picture of it now)
Yes, on paper! Whenever I ‘remember’ anything like that, I use Outlook reminders, which my kids laugh at because I end up with 20 or 30 pop up reminders in cascading tiles every day.
Wil’s method is old school and just as efficient, if not more so, with the added benefit that whenever he uses it, he can recall his father.
Sometimes we get caught up in the new electronic supposedly more efficient ways to teh point of gradually losing the tactile, emotional attachments to actual physical things. It’s like pictures; the old photos you have in an album, you can take it down form the shelf, heft it onto your lapo and take each photo out, feel them, touch them, look at the writing and so on. With digital photos you click and click and click and click and have many many more photographs than ever we would have before due to the cost of developing the film, but where are they? On a jump drive? In your computer? On a CD?
Sure you might say, old photos lose their colour, they fade, stick to pages and plastic and so on, but don’t kid yourself, electronic media half pretty short expiry dates as well. Expectations vary from 20 to 100 years for CD and 5 to 10 for USB and flash drives and if one isn’t diligent in transferring and re-transferring the media to storage devices every few years, whole swacks of photographs are lost for good, whereas there are means to preserve the hard-copies for many years.
I don’t know … it just bothers me. I call it electronic amnesia; you forget where your photos are, where your files are. Your computer crashes and if you haven’t backed it up you lose everything.
So, I value Wil’s method passed down from his father and I can attest that it works well, thank you very much!
Back to our visit … there were so many lively discussions and much laughter at not understanding each other all the time, it made the afternoon speed by, so that suddenly it was time for photographs and to say our goodbyes.
We thought it would be a good idea to set a delay on our camera and get a whole group family shot. Now, this was something I had attempted only on our little red Sanyo (as per previous entries – you know how well that worked) and not the Nikon, which was MLW’s. I was sure she knew how to make that camera work, however.
“Of course I do!” said MLW.
We all gathered dutifully in front of the camera, lined up against the wall under the genealogy chart that Jacqueline had painstakingly drawn.
MLW fiddled with the camera. A surprise snapshot went off.
MLW fiddled some more.
“I don’t fmhgh dsjirgtn wrong with the fnhjsdh thing!” She muttered, or words to that effect.
Diana, who had a very similar camera, came over to help MLW with the task. Meanwhile, the waiting subjects of the photo-shoot dispersed. Wil went out onto the sundeck, Bep attended something in the area where the kitchen would eventually be, the kids played with their phones and I, as is my usual default in these types of situations, found a glass of wine with which to occupy myself.
Suddenly there was a loud beep and a flashing light on the side of the camera
“It’s working. It’s working!” Squealed Lynne and Diana. “Come back, come back!”
As I calmly quaffed my glass of wine, I saw Wil make a sprint worthy of Christiano Ronaldo or Usain Bolt, at full speed from the deck, Bep lept over coolers and cookies, and we all managed to get together for this shot.
“One more, one more!” Diana said, and took over the photographer duties.
We got a few more group shots.
Then adjourned to the balcony where we posed for some shots in different combinations.
We hugged and kissed and laughed. We told them that any of the family were welcome to come to Canada and stay with us while they visited the country. (Jennifer and Brigitte were ready to go out and buy their tickets. Bep and Jacqueline looked like they would have a few things to say about that).
We are completely sincere in the offer; we would love to host such great people, anytime.
As Wil and I shook hands, he solemnly told me that he had been very surprised, as he saw in me the face of his father, at which I had to stifle a tear; I could hear the emotion in Wil’s voice as well. He promised to forward a photograph of his father so we could see it, which I look forward to very much.
As we rode back to Leeuwarden, MLW and I reflected again on what a loving family they were, to have all come out together to see us, how gracious Wil and Bep were to host us in the middle of construction and how delightful, thoughtful and polite all of Jacqueline’s and Diana’s children were. Most of all, how lucky and honoured we felt to have finally met them all, to put a face behind the email and a mind behind the Facebook profiles.tr
I was reminded again how we can have a family of the heart as well as family in name, and in this case, they are one and the same.

Monitoring University Governance: March 2015
Universities, and faculty organizations like the American Association of University Professors and the Society of American Law Teachers (SALT), have published variations of faculty salary surveys for some time now. The AAUP publishes its Annual Report on the Status of the Profession (the 2013-2014 Report may be accessed HERE). SALT publishes its salary survey (the 2012-2013 Report may be accessed HERE). Universities usually make theirs available in some form their their faculty senates (for Penn State, see SENATE COMMITTEE ON FACULTY BENEFITS 2013-2014 Report on Faculty Salaries (Informational); tables may be accessed HERE). .
These are meant to serve a useful purpose--as an important contribution to informational transparency. This transparency, in turn is meant to paint a picture of the state of faculty earning that can be used, as an authoritative data set, to further positions and negotiating strategies, of university administrators, faculty, legislators and the like. It is also a valuable mechanism for managing public opinion about the state of the university and the privilege (or lack thereof) of a key university stakeholder.
All of this is well and good, and fair game, in the context of the politics of university administration, public policy development, and the operation of wage labor markets for university faculty labor talent. Yet, data is a relational as well as an objective measure. For policymakers, and especially for engagement, the choice of relational elements--the way data is packaged and the choice of data types to place in relationship to each other--will have a profound impact on the way on which the data is read and understood. More importantly, if done with some calculation, the careful presentation of relationships among data (including some excluding others) can be used to manage conclusions as well. This no doubt is usually inadvertent, but perhaps not always so.
This semiotic insight is both powerful and so deeply embedded in our culture that it tends to go unnoticed. This post considers how the way in which these relational markers work affect the presentation and utility of faculty salary surveys. It also suggests the ways in which they might be managed and exploited.
