The Dread Family Roberts: August 2008
Kate did the best thing yesterday, something that made me cry. Which really wasn't hard seeing as it was a very emotional day for me, but it was just the most thoughtful thing, so I thought I would share what a great kid she is.
As you know yesterday was Spencer's first day of school, and we had the bus ride situation all planned out. Kate and Spencer just happen to ride the same bus, so hey great, big sis will be there when he gets on, he can ride with her, no problem!!!! EXCEPT for the one problem that did come up......she had to stay after and take a test on the books she read over the summer. That meant she would not be on the bus when it got to Suncrest to pick up Spencer. You may think what is the big deal??!? Well for a little 5 year old who was very apprehensive about school in general and the bus ride home, it was a big deal, he was counting on her for that support. Again, I may have been more upset about this than he actually was, well actually that is true because he did not know anything about the whole situation, he would have just gotten a rude and scary shock when he got on and had no big sis to "take care of him".
Kate being the great kid and even better big sister that she is, went to her English teacher and explained the situation and asked if she could take the test during school instead of after. No problem, test taken, she made it to the bus on time and was there for Spencer.
Now this may not seem like a big deal to anyone out there but me, but the thoughtfulness of Kate, and the fact that she took the time to think of Spencer and what he might have to go through without her and the fact that she took action to make it right for everyone is just the best thing in my mind. What a great person, great big sister all around loving being for doing such a little thing, yet a big thing to help her little brother.
Thanks so much Kate, I love you so much. Thanks for loving your little siblings, enough to go out of your way to help them. You are truly the best.

Today I put Jordan's hair up in a pony tail, and I thought she looked so sweet and pretty I just had to take some pictures of her. I can never seem to capture the true Jordan, or how beautiful she really is, but maybe these got a little of it. I love my little munchkin, even if she is an ornery little critter. By the way, you can click on these or any pictures to enlarge them.

When I was growning up, Craig and I had lincoln logs to play with. I loved them!! We would spend like forever building things, then fly our "bomber planes" over them and say "Frank Cannon!" (yes you had to say that) and blow the heck out of each other's creations. It was just the thing to do. Our Grandma Ream even got down on the floor in her old age and played with us. Now that is a fun grandma.
So now I have a boy of my own, and he loves to build, so much so that we should have named him Bob. He takes Lego's, Bob the builder stuff, just about anything and builds these wonderful buildings and things. When I ask him how he comes up with it all, he says "I just picture it in my mind then build it." Anyway, as much as he loves to build I just had to get some Lincoln Logs for my little Bob, uh!! I mean Spencer. Ebay here I come!!!! Wooooo Hoooo anything to do more shopping on Ebay, but that is another entire blog.
He was so excited when we got the first set, almost as much as me. Pre war ones no less, with all real wood, and the original instructions from the 30's or something. These should probably be in a museum, not in the hands of a rough and tough five year old, but oh well, I had the winning bid. ha ha ha We have been down on the floor creating and having fun. The only problem is that he doesnt let me build bomber planes, say "Frank Cannon" and bomb the daylights out of his buildings. Darn it!!! I added another set (from ebay circa 1950's) and the fun continues. We have determined that we need yet some more, but that is for another day, another bidding war............

A couple of weeks ago I went to a spa party and had so much fun, and came home feeling so relaxed that I decided to have one too. Although my life has been threatened if I blog these, I think I will take that risk for the sake of entertainment. Here we are relaxing with eye patches on, feel the cooling sensation as you listen to Pachebel, and deep breath. We also put lip smoother stuff on to exfoliate our lips and make them nice and kissably soft for our honey bunnies. Got milk? Barb you are lucky, you seem to not have been photographed, but I will get you next time! ha ha ha (evil laugh). Kelly, you are such a coward to not look at the camera with your lips all white and chalky, but I love ya anyway. Thanks to everyone for coming, I hope you walked away feeling as great as I did.

Our boy Spencer wants to be big so fast. For example, he has been asking when he would lose a tooth. We assured him that it would happen soon, and soon it did. As in about a week and a half ago. He came screaming with enthusiasm that he had a loose tooth. He wanted it out before Kate gets home from Minnesota so he could surprise her, so I told him that the best way to loosen it completely and get it to come out was to wiggle it as much as possible. And that he did, I guess he has been working on it a lot, because last night, he was watching the Olympics with Lee and he started screaming with excitement "Mom come here, I just lost my tooth!!!!!!!" And here he came running up the stairs with tooth in hand to show me. As he was sitting there, I guess it just popped out while he was wiggling it, no pain or anything. Well, a little blood, but he was so gosh darn excited he didn't even care or notice. Next we had to call the grandparents and let them know of the joyous occasion.
We took pictures of the whole process, the tooth just out, spencer holding the tooth, placing it under his pillow, and the best of all, the dollar from the tooth fairy. Now he can't wait until he looses more, this has been a fun experience for him. Way to go Spencer!!!

Lee and I have been married for almost 12 years now, and I still love him as much as I did on the day we were married. I should say, even more so because I have learned to love the many things he does for me and the family as well as him as a person. He is always by my side, whether in the O.R. for my C-sections, or just to be there when I am being shy around people. I cant imagine my life without my helpmate, friend and love. He brings so much happiness to my life and to the life of our children. I just cant express the love I feel for Lee. He is so wonderful, he has always been there to help with feeding the kids, clipping fingernails, helping with homework, or just playing around. What a great dad he is. I have seen places I never would have seen because he has taken the time to plan out great vacations. Lee comes up with the greatest surprises, and things to make us happy. I love you babe, thanks for a great marriage, and all your love, you are truely the BEST!!!!!!!

Oh what do you do in the summer time? Pick blueberries!!!!!!!!!! And pick we did, as well as eat blueberries. Craig and Gigi had invited us to come with them on their annual outing, so we packed up the kids and away we went. It was hot, and sweat was dripping down our backs, but boy did we have a great family time. The little kids played with Logan and Bergen, while the big kid (K8) picked with the grown ups. We talked about family memories old and new, and just about everything under the sun. Literally!! Jordan and Bergen ate so many blueberries that I am not sure if the farm made any money off of us. Spencer liked picking them, but didn't like the taste (what is wrong with that child!?!) so I guess more made it into his bucket than into his belly. I wanted to stay longer, but Lee said we had enough. Something about our freezer not having enough room. WHAT?! Like we cant go buy another freezer for the 20 or so buckets I wanted to pick? ha ha ha Actually, we ended up with almost 18 pounds and I went home and made the best blueberry pie in the world!!! It would have won Grand Champion at the fair. I also made some blueberry pancake syrup, and maybe next I'll make some jam. Yum Yum. The whole family had such a great time that we plan to go back again each year. This was our second year picking with Craig & Gigi and I think it will just have to be a new tradition.
I love doing things with the family, making new traditions, and keeping old one's alive. Isn't it the best?? Thank you for inviting us guys. See you next year in the field, or should I say, on Blueberry Hill.

Last month, if you will recall our adventurer went in search of the reclusive Katie Bug. This month we went searching for the smaller version. To some it is known as Jordan, to others it is known as Jojo and to some it is simply called Jo Mack. What we found is that the little Jojo watches the bigger females of her tribe and tries very hard to imitate them. Sometimes this is shown by her carrying little dolls around as her babies. Feeding, bathing, holding and rocking said babies. Other times she can be found in her habitat (playroom) cooking and serving food on the toy stove and table. And yet other times she is found to be into make up that was supplied by a Grandma known as the spoiler. Our camera caught her in the act of behaving like the older female members of her tribe today. The Jojo had put on makeup and was in the process of painting her nails so she could be "pretty". One has to wonder, if this small tribe member is like this now, how will she be when she is bigger. Hopefully her face painting skills will improve by the time she is able to date the male species. Although the reporter did think Jojo did a pretty good job on her nails for a four year old.

Lana Del Rey / Lust For Life – Album Chats
July 22, 2017 July 22, 2017 • dakotatait
Why is Lana Del Rey so obsessed with 1950s Americana? Why does each song sound – nearly – the same? Why does every track feel so emotionless and devoid of life? These are all questions that go unanswered on the New York singer-songwriter’s fourth studio album, Lust For Life, yet another taste of her dull, dreary, and ultimately inauthentic art pop. Not even appearances from A$AP Rocky, Stevie Nicks, and Sean Lennon can do anything to save Del Rey – her appropriations of atomic age music seem only to translate into flimsy, contemporary pop ballads aimed even further down than the lowest common denominator.
This album reads like a rich white woman reminiscing on her youth, dreaming of an idyllic suburban America while carefully forgetting about racially motivated violence, atomic fears, and the Cold War. Few of her hopeless, half-hearted attempts to imitate 1950s vocal pop come together to form anything beyond simple tangibility – her bulwark of talented songwriters and producers have focused more on presenting pop appeal than building vibrant backdrops for Del Rey to play off of. Hints of trip hop bleed into the lowkey drum arrangements on a few tracks, but when everything is tucked beneath layers of baroque pop boredom and studio sheen, Del Rey’s emotionless, sterile vocal performances only falter further.
There’s little use in talking about individual tracks here, considering pretty much all of these tracks fall into the category of baroque pop on the verge of breakdown. Occasionally there’s a folksy moment or two, like the Sean Lennon collaboration Tomorrow Never Came, but these come out nearly as equally uninteresting as the rest of the album’s performances. Even when more contemporary elements enter the fray, they clash constantly with Del Rey’s faux Americana aesthetic – tracks like Coachella – Woodstock In My Mind and White Mustang are so superficial and devoid of meaning that they make Del Rey’s singing feel emotional in comparison. While title track Lust For Life is a weak single made interesting by Del Rey’s and the Weeknd’s tough competition for most unenthusiastic and phoned-in singing yet, A$AP Rocky and Playboi Carti surprisingly come through for Summer Bummer, one of few tracks with high replay value, let alone any replay value at all.
Lust For Life is just one of those albums where every single aspect of it is so hopelessly lukewarm and lifeless – it’s apathetic art pop at it’s best. In a market saturated by singer-songwriters masquerading pedestrian appeal under the guise of “alternative pop”, Lana Del Rey could perhaps be doing it better than anyone else. Maybe she’ll come around and ditch the Americana aesthetic and do something real, maybe not – in the meantime, there’s so much wasted potential.

Each spreader dowel includes an expandable dowel with an inner notch and a noncircular spreader screw within the inner notch. The spreader screw expands the dowel with a 90-degree turn of the spreader screw, and each spreader screw is provided with a cover cap from which a crank extends. The respective dowels are expanded by rotating the respective cranks through a 90-degree turn from a position substantially parallel to one another to a position overlapping one another.
What is claimed is: 1. A fastener system for mounting a furniture fitting on a furniture article, comprising:a furniture fitting element having a fastening flange with portions defining a first opening and a second opening spaced from the first opening; a first spreader dowel supported in the first opening, the first spreader dowel including an expandable dowel with an inner notch and a spreader screw, having a right-hand thread convolution, within the inner notch rotatable to expand the dowel; a first cover cap formed on the upper end of the spreader screw of the first spreader dowel; a first crank extending from the first cover cap operable to rotate the spreader screw of the first spreader dowel; a second spreader dowel supported in the second opening the second spreader dowel including an expandable dowel with an inner notch and a spreader screw, having a left-hand thread convolution within the inner notch rotatable to expand the dowel; a second cover cap formed on the upper end of the spreader screw of the second spreader dowel; second crank extending from the second cover cap operable to rotate the spreader screw of the second spreader dowel; wherein the respective dowels of the first and second spreader dowels are expanded by rotating the respective cranks and connected cover caps and spreader screws substantially 90 degrees in directions opposite to one another and wherein the respective cranks overlap one another when rotated to expand the dowels of the respective first and second spreader dowels. 2. The fastener system according to claim 1, wherein one of the first and second cranks has portions defining a recess which receives the other of the first and second cranks when the respective cranks overlap one another.
3. The fastener system according to claim 2, wherein the furniture fitting element comprises a hinge cup.
4. The fastener system according to claim 3, wherein the hinge cup includes pivot means, and further comprising a hinge arm pivoted on the pivot means.
5. The fastener system according to claim 4, wherein the pivot means comprises a pivot pin fastened in the hinge cup.
The present invention relates to a fastening system for mounting a furniture fitting on a furniture article and, more particularly, to a fastener system for mounting a furniture hinge on a desk or cabinet.
Various types of fastener systems for mounting a furniture fitting on a furniture article have been used in the furniture and cabinetry industry for many years. One such device is known from U.S. Pat. No. 5,725,342, known as a spreader dowel, which is supported in a fastening flange of the furniture fitting and which includes an expandable dowel with an inner notch and a non-circular spreader screw which is rotatable within the inner notch. The spreader screw expands or spreads the dowel with a slight right-hand or left-hand twist of the spreader screw, and the spreader screw is provided with a slotted or socketed head to accommodate turning the screw with a tool, such as a screwdriver. A disadvantage of such prior art fastener system is the necessity of providing the tool with which to turn the spreader screw and thereafter affixing a cover cap to conceal the head of the spreader screw.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved fastener system for mounting a furniture fitting on a furniture article, such as a cabinet or desk, without the use of a tool, that has all of the advantages of prior art fastener systems and none of the disadvantages. In order to attain this purpose, a representative embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in the drawings. The fastener system of the present invention makes use of a fastening flange formed on a hinge cup of the furniture fitting, for example, a furniture hinge. The fastening flange has at least one opening and preferably a pair of openings formed therein in each of which a spreader dowel is supported. The spreader dowel is of a type described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,725,342, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by this reference, which includes an expandable dowel with an inner notch and a non-circular spreader screw within the inner notch. The spreader screw expands or spreads the dowel with a slight right-hand or left-hand twist of the spreader screw, depending on whether the spreader screw is provided with a right-hand or left-hand thread convolution in the area of the shaft of the spreader screw. In the particular type of spreader dowel, the spreader screw is also provided with projections which cooperate with corresponding shoulders formed in the fastening flange opening to limit rotation of the fastening screw to about 90 degrees or one-quarter turn between unexpanded and expanded conditions of the dowel. Advantageously, the fastener system of the present invention includes a crank extending from the upper end of each spreader screw which is operable to twist or rotate the respective spreader screws within the inner notch to expand the respective dowels. Further, each spreader screw is provided with a cover cap formed on its upper end, and the respective cranks extend from the respective cover caps. Further, the spreader screw of one of the first and second spreader dowels is provided with a right-hand thread convolution in the area of the shaft of the spreader screw, and the other spreader screw of the first and second spreader dowels is provided with a left-hand thread convolution in the shaft area. Accordingly, the respective dowels of the first and second spreader dowels are expanded or spread by rotating the respective cranks and connected cover caps and their associated spreader screws in directions opposite to one another. In other words, the respective dowels are expanded by rotating the respective cranks through a 90-degree twist or quarter turn from a position substantially parallel to one another corresponding to an unexpanded condition of the respective dowels to a position substantially overlapping one another to a position corresponding to an expanded condition of the respective dowels.
In order to accommodate the overlappage of the respective cranks and to provide an aesthetically appealing appearance, one of the cranks is made slightly larger than the other crank and is provided with a recess to receive or nest the other crank. Thus, the overlapping cranks, together with their respective associated cover caps present a smooth, uniform, pleasing appearance in which the cover caps and overlapping cranks simulate the appearance of a one-piece continuous cover. The furniture fitting comprises a furniture hinge which includes a hinge cup that is insertable in a corresponding predrilled bore hole in the furniture article, and the respective dowels are likewise designed to be inserted in corresponding pre-drill bore holes in an unexpanded condition with associated cranks extending parallel to one another. Thereafter, one of the cranks is rotated to expand its associated dowel, which thereby locks the dowel in its corresponding bore hole, and the second crank is then likewise rotated in the opposite direction to expand its associated dowel, which thereby likewise locks the second dowel in its corresponding bore hole. Thus, the hinge cup can be securely mounted to the furniture article without the use of a tool such as a screwdriver. The hinge cup is also provided with pivot means, such as a pivot pin, on which a hinge arm is pivoted, and the hinge arm can be attached to another portion of the furniture article, such as a supporting frame. Likewise, in order to easily remove the hinge cup from the furniture article, the respective cranks may be rotated in the reverse directions, respectively, to return the dowels to the unexpanded condition in which the dowels are no longer locked into their respective bore holes.
It is to be further understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and are not to be regarded as limiting. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception on which this disclosure is based may readily be used as a basis for designing the structures, methods, and systems for carrying out the special purposes of the present invention. The claims are regarded as including such equivalent constructions so long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
From the foregoing summary, it is apparent that an object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved fastening system for mounting a furniture fitting, such as a hinge, on a furniture article, such as a desk or cabinet which has all of the advantages, and more, of prior art devices and none of the disadvantages.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new and improved fastener system for mounting a furniture fitting on a furniture article that is more reliable and functional than those previously available.
Yet, another object of the present invention is to provide a new and sophisticated, precision-made fastener system for mounting a furniture hinge on a furniture article without use of a tool.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING This invention will be better understood and, objects other than those set forth above, will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:

FIG. 7 is a side elevational view of a hinge with the fastener system of FIG. 1 with the spreader screw cranks parallel to one another.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now to the drawings and particularly to FIG. 1, the fastener system of the present invention is used for mounting a furniture fitting, for example, a furniture hinge on a furniture article such as a desk or cabinet and makes use of a fastening flange 2 formed, for example, on a hinge cup 4 of the furniture hinge. Fastening flange 2 has at least one opening 6 formed therein in which a spreader dowel 8 is supported. Spreader dowel 8, shown schematically in FIG. 1, is of a type described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,725,342, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by this reference, which includes an expandable dowel 10 with an inner notch 12 and a non-circular spreader screw 14 within inner notch 12, and wherein spreader screw 14 expands or spreads dowel 10 with a slight right-hand or left hand twist of spreader screw 14, depending on whether spreader screw 14 is provided with a right-hand or left-hand thread convolution. In the particular type of spreader dowel, the spreader screw is provided with projections which cooperate with corresponding shoulders formed in the fastening flange opening to limit rotation of the fastening screw to about 90 degrees between unexpanded and expanded conditions of the dowel. Referring also to FIG. 1, the fastener system of the present invention includes a crank 16 extending from upper end 18 of spreader screw 14 which is operable to twist or rotate spreader screw 14 within inner notch 12 to expand dowel 10. Further, spreader screw 14 is provided with a cover cap 20 formed on its upper end 18, and crank 16 extends from cover cap 20.
In the preferred embodiment, fastening flange 2 is also provided with a second opening (not more particularly shown) identical to opening 6 shown in FIG. 1 but spaced apart from opening 6 and disposed on the opposing side of hinge cup 4. The second opening likewise supports a second spreader dowel shown generally in FIG. 2 as 22, which is similar to spreader dowel 8 and which likewise includes an expandable dowel 24 with an inner notch and a non-circular spreader screw within the inner notch, and wherein the spreader screw likewise expands or spreads dowel 24 with a slight right-hand or left-hand twist of the spreader screw, depending on whether the spreader screw is provided with a right-hand or left-hand thread convolution. The spreader screw of second spreader dowel 22 is also provided with a crank 26 as shown in FIGS. 3-5 which likewise extends from the upper end of the spreader screw of second spreader dowel 22, and which is likewise operable to rotate the spreader screw within the inner notch of second spreader dowel 22 to expand dowel 24. Further, the spreader screw of second spreader dowel 22 is likewise provided with a cover cap 28 formed on its upper end, and crank 26 extends from cover cap 28.
While second spreader dowel 22 is similar to spreader dowel 8, in the preferred embodiment, the spreader screw of one of first and second spreader dowels 8, 22 is provided with a right-hand thread convolution in the area of the shaft of the spreader screw, for example, in shaft area 34 of spreader screw 12, and the other of the spreader screw of first and second spreader dowels 8, 22 is provided with a left-hand thread convolution in the shaft area. Accordingly, the respective dowels 10, 24 of the first and second spreader dowels 8, 22 are expanded or spread by rotating respective cranks 16, 26 and connected cover caps 20, 28 and their associated spreader screws in directions opposite to one another. In other words, dowel 10 of first spreader dowel 8 is expanded by rotating crank 16 in arrow direction "A" as shown in FIG. 3, and dowel 24 of spreader dowel 22 is expanded by rotating crank 26 in arrow direction "B" as shown in FIG. 4, which is opposite to arrow direction "A". Moreover, as noted above, in the particular type of spreader dowel, the spreader screw expands the dowel with only a slight right-hand or left-hand twist of the spreader screw, depending on whether the spreader screw is provided with a right-hand or left-hand thread convolution. Further, in the particular type of spreader dowel, the spreader screw is provided with projections which cooperate with corresponding shoulders formed in the fastening flange opening to limit rotation of the fastening screw to substantially 90 degrees between unexpanded and expanded conditions of the dowel. Thus, in the present invention, dowels 10, 24 are expanded by rotating cranks 16, 26 respectively through a 90 degree twist or quarter turn from a position substantially parallel to one another as shown in FIG. 3, corresponding to an unexpanded condition of dowels 10, 24, to a position of cranks 16, 26 substantially overlapping one another as shown if FIG. 5 in an expanded condition of dowels 10, 24.
In order to accommodate the overlappage of cranks 16, 26 and to provide an aesthetically appealing appearance, one of the cranks, for example, crank 26 is made slightly larger than the other crank 16, and is also provided with a recess 36 to receive or nest the other crank 16. Accordingly, overlapping cranks 16, 26, together with their respective associated cover caps 20, 28 present a smooth uniform pleasing appearance in which cover caps 20, 28 and overlapping or nesting cranks 16, 26 simulate the appearance of a one-piece continuous cover. In the preferred embodiment, the furniture fitting consists of a furniture hinge 30 as shown in FIG. 6-8 which includes hinge cup 4 which is insertable in a pre-drilled corresponding bore hole in a portion of a furniture article such as a desk or cabinet (not shown). Dowels 10, 24 are likewise designed to be inserted in corresponding pre-drilled bore holes in an unexpanded condition with associated cranks 16, 26 extending parallel to one another as shown in FIG. 3. Thereafter, crank 16 is rotated in arrow direction "A" as shown in FIG. 3 to expand dowel 10, which thereby locks itself in its corresponding bore hole, and second crank 26 is then rotated in arrow direction "B" as shown in FIG. 4 to expand dowel 24, which likewise thereby locks itself in its corresponding bore hole. Thus, hinge cup 4 can be securely mounted to a part of the furniture article such as a cabinet door without the use of tools such as a screwdriver. Hinge cup 4 is also provided with pivot means such as pivot pin 32, on which a hinge arm 38 is pivoted, and hinge arm 38 can be attached to another portion of the furniture article such as a supporting frame (not shown). Likewise, in order to easily remove hinge cup 4 from the furniture article, cranks 16, 26 may be rotated in directions opposite arrow directions "A" and "B" respectively to return dowels 10, 24 to the unexpanded condition in which the dowels are no longer locked into their respective bore holes.
With respect to the descriptions set forth above, optimum dimensional relationship of parts of the invention (to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function, and manner of operation, assembly and use) are deemed readily apparent and obvious to those skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed herein.

A disk array connected to a storage area network via a fibre channel has one or more ports each controlled by a processor. Even the disk array with one port and one processor executes online processing and backup processing at the same time while considering an online processing load. A port controller not only accepts a request from a host computer but issues a request to other storage controllers to allow online processing and backup processing to be executed at the same time. In addition, the disk array, if provided with a plurality of ports, selects ports or schedules processing depending upon the load to prevent backup processing from affecting online processing performance.
The present application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 09/820,947, filed Mar. 30, 2001, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
A present-day computer system, combined with electronic commerce, is required to run continuously,—24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The computer system is also required to ensure integrity as the amount of information to be maintained increases every year. Among these required functions is the data backup function that immediately recovers data that might be lost by device errors.
In addition, if data is updated during duplexing in a conventional backup method in which an instruction is given by the host, the update of data during duplexing requires four times of transfer operation between the external storage system and the host computer (two WRs(Write) for duplexing, RD(Read) for backup, and WR(Write) for another storage system). This increases the bus load between the host computer and the storage system, affecting the performance of daily applications.
To solve the above problems, a storage system according to the present invention comprises a communication port that transfers data to or from a host computer and other storage controllers, a cache memory in which control information and data from the host computer are stored, storage devices such as a disk device group in which data from the host computer is stored, and a controller that controls the communication port, cache memory, and storage devices. The port controller, which has a port, multiplexes communication processing. The host computers and other external storage systems for backup processing are connected via a fibre network. Control information comprises information for executing an I/O request from a host computer via each communication port, transfer information for executing backup processing for other storage controllers, load information for each communication port, information for managing the progress of backup processing, information specified by the user indicating whether each port is for online processing only, backup processing only, or online and backup processing, information for controlling data duplexing, and information is specified by the user for specifying when to start duplexing and backup processing. The information is written in the cache memory as necessary.
On the other hand, the port A transfer instruction information 410 is set when backup data is transferred from the (sub)logical volume of the disk device group 4000 to another storage controller. The port A controller 100 references the port A transfer instruction information 410 and issues a command via the fibre channel. When issuing a command to some other storage system, the port ID of the other storage system is set in the port ID. The other storage controller receives this command, executes it, and stores backup data on the recording medium. Like the port A transfer instruction information 410, the port B transfer instruction information 430 is used by the port B controller 200.
FIG. 5 shows load information table for each port. Port load information 450 is information on port A, while port load information 460 is information on port B. This information is collected from each port. The information is composed of a number of I/O operations 451 indicating the total number of I/O operations for a predetermined period of time, a transfer amount 452, and access information 453. When the disk array receives an I/O request from the host computer and the disk array controller 300 identifies the host request information, the data transfer length and the command are obtained from the command information 412. The data transfer amount is the transfer length specified by RD(Read) or four times the transfer length specified by WR(Write) (four times considering the number of times data is transferred for data updating processing during duplexing). The command information on the current command is compared with the command information on the previous command stored in the RAM 400 to check if the access is continuous (sequential) or random. The number of I/O operations 451 is incremented by one, the data transfer length is added to the transfer amount 452, and the access type (sequential or random) is written in the access information 453. Note that this information is cleared periodically to collect information per unit time. The timer function in the disk array controller 300 is used to maintain the information for a specific period of time. This information is stored in the RAM 400.
A user-specified port information table 640, shown in FIG. 8, is stored in the management information unit 600 in the cache memory 500. This table contains a port usage value specified by the user via the personal computer/workstation (PCNVS) 3000. More specifically, the user specifies a value indicating that the port is for backup processing only, a value indicating that the port is for online processing only, or a value indicating the port is for both online processing and backup processing. When a backup request is received, the disk array controller 300 references this information, searches for a backup port, and issues the request to the port controller of the port.
Next, the basic RD(Read)/WR(Write) operation of the disk array controller will be described. Upon receiving an RD request from a host computer, the port controller 100 sets the request in the port A host request information 420. The disk array controller 300 references the port A host request information 420, finds that the request is an RD request, and checks the requested ADR(address) and the data length. If the requested data is in the cache memory 500, the controller notifies the port A controller of the cache ADR(address) and instructs that the data be sent to the host computer from which the RD request was received. If the requested data is not in the cache memory, the controller reads the requested data from the disk device group 4000, stores it in the cache memory 500, and transfers it to the host computer.
Upon receiving a WR request from a host computer, the port controller 100 sets the request in the port A host request information 420. The disk array controller 300 references the port A host request information 420, finds that the request is a WR request, and checks the requested ADR(address) and the data length. After transferring data to the cache memory 500, the controller requests the port controller to inform the host computer that data has been transferred. After that, the controller asynchronously sends (writes) data from the cache memory 500 to the disk device group.

The sheath 4 is then completed in the following manner. The projecting portion of the plug 3 and a length of less than five mm. of the adjacent tubing are dipped in a dispersion of silicone rubber with a catalyst in toluene, such as is obtainable from Smith & Nephew Limited, and then withdrawn slowly from the dispersion. The toluene is allowed to evaporate and the whole process is then repeated. This results in the formation of a coating on the projecting portion of the plug 3 and on a short length of the silicone rubber tubing. The resultant structure is heated in an oven at a temperature of 150°C. for 30 minutes to drive off the filler and the catalyst and polymerise the silicone rubber of the coating, the membrane 6 thus formed having a thickness of the same order as that of the tube 5. During this polymerisation, the material of the coating becomes integrally bonded to the material of the silicone rubber tubing.
In an alternative procedure for completing the sheath 4 use may be made of a silicone rubber membrane which is initially formed separately from the basic component produced by the steps described above up to the point at which the plug 3 is secured in position. The formation of this membrane is effected by dipping a stainless steel former to a depth of about one cm. in a silicone rubber dispersion similar to that referred to in the preceding paragraph, the forming having a similar shape too but slightly smaller dimensions than the basic component, withdrawing the former slowly from the dispersion, allowing the toluene to evaporate from the dispersion, and then heating the former at a temperature of 150°C for 30 minutes. The membrane is detached carefully from the former, trimmed to a length of about five mm, swollen by immersion in carbon tetrachloride, and applied carefully to the basic component so as to cover the plug 3 and a short length of the adjacent silicone rubber tubing, the carbon tetrachloride then evaporating so that the membrane shrinks to fit tightly in place. The free end of the membrane is rolled back nearly to the end of the tubing, a small amount of a cold-curing silicone rubber adhesive is applied to the outside of the tubing and the membrane is then unrolled back into place, squeezing out most of the adhesive from between it and the tubing. The remaining thin layer of adhesive between the membrane and the silicone rubber tubing forms an integral bond between them as the adhesive cures, the process being completed in about 12 hours. With this method of providing the membrane, smoothing at the initial junction of the membrane and the tubing may if desired be effected by a further coating with silicone rubber in a similar manner to that described above, but using a less viscous dispersion of silicone rubber.
1. An instrument for use in the measurement of blood gases, the instrument comprising:
a flexible catheter in the form of a nylon tube having its internal surface coated with a material which will effectively inhibit outgassing of water vapour into the interior of the tube under vacuum;
a rigid porous body extending across the whole of the end of said tube, said porous body having a first portion secured within said tube adjacent said end and having a smoothly rounded second portion projecting from said end; and
a sheath of a non-thrombogenic polymeric material part of which closely envelops said tube and part of which constitutes a gas-permeable membrane completely covering said second portion of said porous body.
2. An instrument according to claim 1, in which said polymeric material is silicone rubber.

If you love listening to beautiful songs, you probably have an Apple iPod. This is a must-have gadget for all music lovers. If you already have this amazing gadget and want to learn how to put music on it then you are at the right place. This article will give an overview of how to put music to iPod and explain exactly how it is done.
The question is getting more and more common as Apple is introducing more types of iPods. Putting music onto an iPod is very simple and easy and it takes only a few minutes to do it. All you need is an iPod (obviously), some basic tools and some information on how to do it. In the following article, we have come up with a simple way you can use to put songs on your cherished iPod.
Apart from having an iPod, computer, and data cable, here are some important things you need to do before putting music on your iPod.
· You need the songs to download
If you already have a CD collection you can just use any free converter program online to convert them to mp3 and save the files on your PC. If you already have a collection of music in mp3 format then you don't need to do this. Another way is to download the songs from the internet onto your computer. There are now even some sites that allow you to download the music and movies, especially for iPods.
· iTunes Software
The second thing you need to do is to install iTunes. iTunes is a software application that comes standard when you buy an iPod. Typically, you install the program on your computer and create a library of songs in iTunes that is then easily transferred to your iPod. The iTunes software allows the easy manipulation and organisation of the music files on your computer and this is the only program compatible with iPod data transfer.
You can download & install it for free from the internet at Apple official site. Get the latest version and download it to your computer.
Once you have successfully downloaded your favourite songs and the iTunes to your computer, you are now ready to create a music library to iTunes and enjoy it on your iPod.
Follow these easy methods and transfer your downloaded music to iTunes on your iPod:
· Sync Your iPod With iTunes
Syncing is the process, in which you use the iTunes on your PC to add music files to an iPod. It is a must do a thing if you have a new iPod and want to transfer music to it. To sync an iPod with iTunes, the first thing you need to do is to connect your iPod to your PC using a USB cable. Once your PC detected your iPod, you can do the following steps:
1. Open iTunes on your PC. (Make sure that you have the latest iTunes version)
1. Look at the Device icon in the top-left corner of the iTunes windows. Click on it.
2. Find the Summary option under Settings on the left side of the iTunes windows. Click on it. A list of the content (music files) that you can sync from your iTunes library to your device will be shown on the screen. If you don’t have some certain content in your iTunes library, you will not see some tabs.
3. Click the content you want to sync. For instance, you can choose Music. And then click the box next to Sync Music to activate syncing for that content type.
4. Once it is done then click the Apply button and save your sync settings. It will start the downloading songs onto your iPod. Once syncing is complete, you will have successfully added music onto your iPod.
5. If you want to add some other content types such as Movies and TV shows etc., then you can click those tabs and select your options on those screens. Sync again and that content will be added to your iPod.
If you are unable to add content from PC to iPod using iTunes then here’s what to do:
2. Open iTunes on your computer.
3. Locate and click on the Device icon in the iTunes window.
4. Click Summary located in the left sidebar in the iTunes window.
5. Scroll to the Options section.
6. Look for the “Manually manage music and videos” option and click the box next to it.
7. Then click Apply.
You might get a message there, that your device is synced with another iTunes library. This means that you have used a different PC to sync your iPod in the past and now you have to erase and replace all iTunes content to sync it again.
· Manually Put Music to iPod
If you have media files on your computer that you can’t re-download from the App Store or iTunes directly on your iPod then you can use the drag-and-drop feature on your PC to transfer these files to your iPod using iTunes. Here’s how:
Open iTunes on your PC and find the music files to add to your iPod. To use drag-and-drop, left-click on the music file you want to transfer and hold the click while you move the file to the iPod. Or simply you can also copy and paste to move files to your iPod.
As you can see, how to put music to the iPod is a very simple procedure. Once you are familiar with the workings of iTunes and have a good source on the web for quickly downloading the music you want, you can think of a song and be listening to it all within the space of a few minutes.
How To Reach A Rational Decision When Selling Your Phone Online
Psychology says, emotions drive our behaviour towards life and logic only justifies our actions and marketing specialist saffirm this theory. Humans apply the same theory to brands as they do with people. Nowadays, choosing your favourite brand or product is same as choosing your best friend.

Review | P.S. I Like You by Kasie West – Beast Books
December 18, 2016 December 30, 2016 Aweng || Beast BooksLeave a comment
Genres: Romance, Young Adult, Contemporary, Standalone
Letters were safe. They were words, easy to read if enjoyable and stop reading if hurtful. Letters didn’t stare at me like he was staring at me now, full of fire.
This is YA contemporary at its cutest, funniest and loveliest form! I didn’t thought I‘d rate this book this high because most of the books I’ve read from this genre just doesn’t hold my attention for long. But this, oh boy, I sacrificed five hours of good night sleep for this!
I have to admit that it sounded like your typical YA teen romance at first and I was almost certain it’s going to drag ‘til the end. Well, I love it when a book proves me wrong.
Lily has a habit of doodling, composing, and writing some lyrics in her notebook to kill her boredom from her chemistry class. But when Mr. Ortega threaten to confiscate her notebook she wrote a song lyric on the desk instead. The fun started when someone wrote the next line of the song the next day. Seeing that they have the same taste in music, the two started suggesting some bands to listen to. Until they didn’t know they were already opening up and sharing each other’s secrets. But who is Lily’s mysterious pen pal? I don’t want to spoil things so I can only say that it isn’t who Lily suspected… at all.
There are some cliché in this book. And while it’s a little predictable, there is more than enough charm and hilarious moments to keep me entertained. Also, Kasie West was never short in providing distractions that made me second-guess what I thought I know.
P.S. I Like You is an addictive story with an adorable couple for protagonists. Lily is a fun character, sarcastic, quirky, and hilarious. She is easy to love as well as her big and loud family. It would be easy to recommend this book to those who are looking for a light, feel-good, and cute as hell read for summer.
Book Review, Kasie West, YA
