Dr Nick Kollerstrom Spilling The Beans on The Holocaust ?!
Breaking The Spell of the Holocaust with Dr Nick Kollerstrom interviewed by Kevin West
In 1941, British Intelligence analysts cracked the German "Enigma" code. This undermined the German war effort – but also threw new light on day-by-day events in the Nazi concentration camp system. Between January 1942 and January 1943, encrypted radio communications between those camps and the Berlin headquarters were intercepted and decrypted. Oddly enough, historians have largely ignored the information furnished in these intercepts relating to "arrivals," "departures," recorded deaths and other events at these camps. The only reasonable explanation for this embarrassing omission is that the intercepted data seriously contradicts, even refutes, the orthodox "Holocaust" narrative. The revealed information does not expose a program of mass murder and racial genocide. Quite the opposite: it reveals that the Germans were determined, desperate even, to reduce the death rate in their work camps, which was caused by catastrophic typhus epidemics.
Were the British here hoodwinked by the Nazis, as some historians to this day try to claim—or is the truth both simpler and more shocking?
In 1988 and 1991 forensic studies threw light on the question of whether or not the claimed gas chambers at Auschwitz had served as slaughter houses for hundreds of thousands of people. Both studies had concluded that the only facilities where Zyklon B gas had been used were hygienic rather than homicidal, killing bugs rather than Jews. Needless to say that these iconoclastic studies were ignored or in some countries even outlawed, and that their authors were ostracized and even imprisoned.
Dr. Kollerstrom, a science historian, has taken these studies, which are in obvious, stark contrast to the widely accepted narrative, as a starting point for his own endeavour into the land of taboo. After he had published a brief paper summarizing what he thought the data forced him to conclude, he was thrown out of his College where he had been a member of staff for eleven years.
In his new book Breaking the Spell, Dr. Kollerstrom shows that "witness statements" supporting the human gas chamber narrative clearly clash with the available scientific data. He juxtaposes the commonly accepted ideas about a Nazi extermination policy toward the Jews with a wide array of mostly unchallenged, but usually unmentioned evidence pointing in a quite different direction, for instance: Zyklon B is a buzz word for the claimed Nazi mass murder, but all non-anecdotal evidence proves that this chemical was merely used as a pesticide in order to improve the inmates' health and reduce, not increase, camp mortality. Zyklon B applied in delousing chambers formed chemical compounds detectable to this day. No such compounds can be found, but ought to be expected, in the claimed homicidal gas chambers. The UK's intelligence decrypts prove that the German camp authorities were desperately trying to save their inmates' lives. "Six Million Jews threatened or killed": read 167 quotes from newspapers with that "news" spanning from 1900 to 1945, with a peak after World War ONE! Yes, one, not two! Germany has paid compensation to millions of Nazi victims, and Israel has implicitly admitted that many million Jews survived the Holocaust. A British archaeological team looked for traces of the claimed 800,000 victims of the Treblinka camp—and came back empty-handed.
Dr. Kollerstrom concludes that the history of the Nazi "Holocaust" has been written by the victors with ulterior motives and that this history is distorted, exaggerated and largely wrong. He asserts that this history is, in truth, a great lie that distorts our common perceived reality and misdirects human history to this very day.

Graham Hancock Investigation of The Mysteries of Our Past
Graham Hancock discusses his new book Magicians of the Gods. Hancock's multi-million bestseller Fingerprints of the Gods remains an astonishing and deeply controversial investigation of the mysteries of our past and the evidence for lost civilizations on Earth. Twenty years on, he returns with Magicians of the Gods which shows beyond reasonable doubt that an advanced civilization that flourished during the Ice Age was destroyed in global cataclysms between 12,800 and 11,600 years ago.
A giant comet that had entered the solar system from deep space thousands of years earlier, broke into multiple fragments, some of which struck the Earth causing devastation on a scale unseen since the extinction of the dinosaurs. The impacts from comet fragments a mile wide approaching at more than 60,000 miles an hour instantly liquidized millions of square miles of ice, destabilizing the Earth's crust and causing the global Deluge that is remembered in myths all around the world. A second series of equally devastating impacts caused further cataclysmic flooding around 11,600 years ago, the exact date that Plato gives for the annihilation of Atlantis.
But there were survivors, who travelled the world in great ships doing all in their power to keep the spark of civilization burning. They settled at key locations - Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, Baalbek in the Lebanon, Giza in Egypt, ancient Sumer, Mexico, Peru and across the Pacific. Everywhere they went these 'Magicians of the Gods' brought with them the memory of a time when mankind had fallen out of harmony with the universe and paid a heavy price. A memory and a warning to the future; for the comet that wrought such utter destruction may not be done with us yet. Astronomers believe that a 20-mile wide fragment of the original giant comet remains hidden within its debris stream and still threatens the Earth. An astronomical message encoded at Gobekli Tepe, and in the Sphinx and the pyramids of Egypt, warns us that the 'Great Return' will occur in our time...

The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or so dependent on its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of the people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system will bear its burdens without complaint and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.

"Debts must be collected, bonds and mortgages must be foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When, through a process of law, the common people lose their homes they will become more docile and more easily governed through the influence of the strong arm of government, applied by a central power of wealth under control of leading financiers.
This truth is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of Capital to govern the world.
By dividing the voters through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance. Thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves what has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished."

Glendale (CA) city officials are forcing residents to take down mirrors they've attached to trees in the public right-of-way so they can better see oncoming traffic while exiting their driveways. Residents say in the absence of any speed-reduction enhancements, such as speed humps, the round convex mirrors are one of the few safety measures they have. City officials, though, say it's about more than tree damage. City codes don't allow anything to be attached to city-owned trees or street-light poles. Also, nothing can be placed in the public right-of-way because of liability concerns.
Get out and look to see if it's clear - what the hell is wrong with these people? Is it that hard to look before you back up? Somebody must be hard-up for the some material to post or what. In any case, if the mirror is not on your property, then it's fair game to be moved. You put sign up, expect that sign to be taken down by anyone. Has nothing to do with 'city codes' ...

A look around the Pac-12:
California: Jeff Tedford had his first losing season last year [1] and not much is expected this year from Colorado's first home opponent Sept. 10. He went 5-7 a year ago and Golden Bears must play all their home games across the bay at AT&T Park while Memorial Stadium gets renovated.
He said he doesn't think about the pressure and athletic director Sandy Barbour said his security is "rock solid." But Cal isn't selling many tickets and it wants some momentum going into the new-look stadium in 2012.
It's not an easy schedule, starting with Saturday against Fresno State. Colorado will be looking to avenge last year's 52-7 humiliation in Berkeley and Tedford is breaking in a new quarterback and tailback.
UCLA: Houston quarterback Case Keenum faces Bruins [2] again after tearing up his knee — and his Heisman Trophy chances — in last year's game at the Rose Bowl.
USC: Trojans' defense tries to bounce back [3]after giving up more than 400 yards a game a year ago.
Arizona State: Cornerback Devoron Carr returns to the starting lineup [4] for first time since dislocating his shoulder Oct. 2.
Arizona: Due to six players injured for Saturday's opener against Northern Arizona, the Wildcats list eight underclassmen among their starters [4], including tree freshman Rob Hankins at middle linebacker.
Stanford: San Jose State hopes to do against Andrew Luck what it did against John Elway [5]his junior year: sack him nine times and intercept him five times in a 24-6 win. The Spartans, led by his dad Jack Elway, beat John 35-31 his senior year, too.
Oregon: No. 3 Ducks prepare for No. 4 LSU [6] in the college football season's first big game. Both had controversial off-seasons with national title hopes probably on the line Saturday.
Oregon State: If wide receiver Markus Wheaton (hip) can't play [7] Saturday, the Beavers will miss five starters for their opener against Sacramento State.
Washington: Seattle Times columnist Steve Kelley looks at coach Steve Sarkisian's challenge of calling plays [8] for new starting quarterback Keith Price.
Washington State: A look at Idaho State [9], Cougars' season-opening opponent Saturday.
Utah: JC transfer Keith McGill has earned his feather [10] at safety.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 60/096,989 filed Aug. 18, 1998.
This invention relates generally to circuits and signal connectors supporting RS-232 communication protocol, and more particularly to a DB9 circuit and connecting cable, and signal pin mapping for supporting RS-232 communications in a disk drive controller environment.
The computer industry is marked by rapid advancement in hardware, firmware, software, and architectures generally. Because of the widespread proliferation of computers and the need for rapid and reliable access to data, computer data storage technology is at the forefront of such changes. In order to provide rapid and reliable access to large amounts of data, for example for commercial databases, hotel or airline reservation systems, corporate records, and the like, systems of related disk drives, such as Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks (RAID) systems are frequently and increasingly used. RAID refers to Redundant Array of Independent Disks, a firmware/hardware implementation of a disk array controller in which data is stored on disks in such a manner as to improve performance and avoid data loss in the presence of a disk failure. For these multiple disk configurations, there is frequently a need for multiple controllers (in various configurations), multiple disk drives (with different capacities and different vendor or revision), and the need to swap devices and/or controllers in a disk array system in the event of up sizing storage capacity or replacing a failed device. In addition, there may be a desire to upgrade certain components with newer versions providing advanced features, but at the same time to retain other components for a reasonable lifetime. These issues create a need for some flexibility and adaptability in device-to-device communications, whether the devices are disk drives, other memory storage devices, disk drive controllers, host computer systems, communication systems, or the like.
Increasingly, a hardware device designed for one purpose could desirably be adopted for another purpose so as to maintain that device in the modified or upgraded system configuration, or to increase its capabilities on some manner. For example, in many commercial RAID storage systems, the SCA connector is standardized so as to permit interchangability in the industry between devices made by different manufacturers. This standardization may occasionally restrict the ability of a particular vendor from implementing proprietary structures or using proprietary methods in connection with the devices. In this event, the ability to configure a standard device or a connector associated with a standard device in a non-standard way is valuable. Providing an ability to use an existing connector having a limited number of wires for another purpose may also allow upgraded features to be provided without replacing hardware, for example, without replacing entire printed circuit boards.
Therefore there is a need for electrical cable adaptors and circuits that remap a connector and its associated signals to another signal set. As both DB-9 and RS-232 interfaces are in common use for communication among different computer components, there is a particular need for means that permits a single DB-9 connector and its associated signals to be remapped to provide a standard RS-232 interface, particularly as such communication applies to an interface to a RAID controller in a single RAID controller system, or to provide a controller-to-controller communications link for messaging, control and status signals between two RAID controllers in a dual-active system.
These and other features and advantages are provided by the inventive structure and method.
The invention provides structure, including circuits, cabling, and computer architecture, and method for permitting a single DB-9 connector and its associated signals to be remapped to provide a standard RS-232 interface, particularly as such communication applies to an interface to a RAID controller in a single RAID controller system,, and to provide a controller-to-controller communications link for messaging, control and status signals between two RAID controllers in a dual-active system. While specific circuit and cable implementation embodiments are disclosed, the inventive concept and method may be more widely applied to a variety of standard and non-standard interfaces.

FIG. 10 is a diagrammatic illustration showing one particular exemplary embodiment of DAC960SCA/SE packaging.
We now describe embodiments of the invention relative to the computer system illustrated in FIG. 1. An exemplary embodiment of the inventive computer system 101 including a host computer 102, one or more disk array controllers 104, 106, and arrays of disk drives 110, 111, each array including one or more individual disk drives is illustrated in FIG. 1. Host computer 102 includes a processor 120, input/output devices 121, such as a keyboard 122, display device 123, memory 124 coupled to the processor and having a defined data structure 125 for storing data 126, commands 127, and procedures 128; and a system disk drive 129. Other conventional computer system components may also be provided. The controller is coupled to the processor by a SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) bus or a Fibre Channel interface 140, and the disk drives are coupled to the controller by a SCSI bus or a Fibre Channel interface 141, in conventional manner. While we primarily refer to disk drives or hard disk drives in this description, it should be understood that the invention is applicable to many types of storage media, including but not limited to rotating magnetic disk drives, magneto-optical devices, readable/writable CD's, fixed or removable media, floppy disk drives, and even electronic or solid state storage media.
The disk drive arrays 110, 111 each include a plurality of disk drives, but the controller may be configured to control only a single disk drive or several drives. One or a plurality of disk controllers may generally be provided, although in presently implemented systems and in the embodiments illustrated and described herein, only one or two disk controllers are provided in the inventive system. Each array of disk drives is disposed in an enclosure as is commonly done for Redundant Array of Independent Disk (RAID) storage configurations.
This configuration has been provided to assist in an understanding of the invention. Those workers in the art will appreciate that various other computer systems or architectures may be used in conjunction with the inventive system and that the invention is not to be limited to use by or with the inventive structure or method.
We now turn our attention to hard disk drive controllers with which the invention is most closely, though not exclusively aligned. Some conventional disk array controllers, such as for example the DAC960SCA RAID disk array controller in a 3.5″ half-height disk profile package, are designed to direct plug into a SCA disk slot and to match the hardware profiles and mounting points of a standard 3.5″ half-height disk drive. (RAID refers to Redundant Array of Independent Disks, a firmware/hardware implementation of a disk array controller in which data is stored on disks in such a manner as to improve performance and avoid data loss in the presence of a disk failure.) The back of the controller assembly has a Single Connector Attachment (SCA) disk bus connector. The front of the controller assembly includes a 68-pin Differential SCSI host connection port, a RJ-45 Ethernet Port interface, and a DB-9 RS232 connector which has multiple purposes including field service maintenance access and controller-to-controller communications in dual-active implementations. (SCA refers to a standard disk drive connector that incorporates all power, I/O, and configuration connections into a single connector.)
Function or operation of a disk array controller are typically governed by the firmware resident in the controller. We consider two versions, using an examples for discussion two versions of disk array controllers made by Mylex Corporation (Facilities in Fremont, Calif., and Boulder, Colo.). The first version or configuration is referred to as the DAC960SCA version, and includes firmware that configures the controller to be a RAID disk array controller in which a SCSI connection is made to a host computer via the front panel Host SCSI connector, and the disk drives are controlled via the back-end SCA connector. In this first version of the controller the RJ-45 port is used to permit Ethernet access for controller configuration. (Ethernet in this description means for example any of the conventional ethernet protocols, including for example, 10BaseT, and 100BaseT/TX Ethernet.)
In a second version or configuration, referred to as the Charon version, the firmware configures the controller to be a Ethernet Port-to-SCA-SCSI disk array controller. (In this second version components may typically be depopulated from the controller to eliminate the expense of unneeded front panel Host SCSI connection.) These first and second versions are diagrammatically illustrated respectively in FIGS. 3/4 and 10.
We now describe the structure and operation of the DB-9 interface including circuit, cable, and firmware considerations. The DAC960 refers to the general series of RAID controller designs based on the i960 processor and made by Mylex Corporation of Fremont, Calif. The DAC960SF refers to a version of a high-performance controller family having two fibre host ports and six ultra-SCSI device ports (physical interfaces). The logical protocol used for both host and device communications is SCSI. This product includes "The Controller" and a "Fibre Daughterboard" plugged into the controller.
The DAC960SCA hardware design supports two serial asynchronous communication channels, Serial Channel A and Serial Channel B. The UART portion of the serial channels is implemented with the Phillips Semiconductor (Signetics), SCN2681 Dual UART component.
Both of the serial channel interfaces are capable of supporting several baud rates (for example, 38400, 19200, 9600, 4800, 1200, and 300 bps), 8 or 7 data bits, 1 or 2 stop bits, and either odd, even, or no parity. Firmware is responsible for setting defaults and handling configuration of the serial port parameters. Default settings are 9600 bps, 8 bits data, 2 stop bits, and no parity. The clock input to the SCN2681 Dual UART component is 3.6864 MHz. The 2681 must be programmed by firmware to set the desired baud rate based on this clock frequency.
In the Charon configuration, serial channel A supports Tx, Rx, CTS, RTS, DSR, DTR, and DCD. Serial channel A is available through a front faceplate male DB9 connector. The connector pin-out matches that of a terminal (DTE). If another terminal is connected to the DB-9 a null-modem device is required. All signals on serial channel A conform to EIA RS232 levels.
In the DAC960SCA configuration, the serial channel A configuration is dependent on the configuration of the controller. When the controller is configured to be a "simplex" controller, the DB-9 may only be used as a "3 wire" terminal interface—only the Tx, Rx, and ground pins are connected. When the controller is configured as a "dual-active" controller the DB-9 should only be connected via a special Dual-Active Cable or should be terminated with the DB-9 Plug device.
Dual-Active refers to the design for the system, including firmware design, in which two controllers can be used in such a way as both controllers have active host data connections to the disk drives, and both controllers are capable of taking over the host traffic operations of the other controller in event of a failure. This primarily applies to the DAC960SF firmware version of the controller.
Serial channel B supports only Tx and Rx. Serial channel B is available through an on-board header connector. Serial channel B is treated as if it were a terminal connection. All signals on serial channel B conform to EIA RS-232 levels.
Several configurations for Dual-Active Communications are now described in connection with the inventive structure and method. The signals and their descriptions are provided in the accompanying Tables 1-3, where Table 1 lists the Charon configuration serial channel A signal descriptions, Table 2 lists the DAC960SCA simplex configuration serial channel A signal descriptions, and Table 3 lists the DAC960SCA dual-active configuration serial channel A signal descriptions.
This section describes the theory of operations of dual-active communications as it relates to the inventive DB-9 circuitry implemented on the DAC960SCA for support of dual-active controller coordination. The DB-9 connector provides a standard RS-232 serial communications port in the Charon version of the controller, however, in the DAC960SCA version of the controller this port can act as a controller-to-controller communication path by utilizing an inventive circuit and cable called the "Dual-Active Cable". A controller configured by firmware for simplex operation can always use the DB-9 as a 3-wire interface for VT100 maintenance, but a controller configured for dual-active operation can only use the DB-9 port for controller-to-controller communication. Dual-active use of this port is the subject of this section.
One advantage of the inventive Dual-Active Cable, circuit, and controller-to-controller communication is to permit use and implementation of otherwise incompatible dual-controller firmware, such as dual-controller firmware designed for other platforms, on newer or updated platforms. For example, to permit firmware used on the predecessor DAC960SX platform to be used on the updated platform.
The inventive Dual-Active Circuit/Cable includes: (i) a bi-directional RS-232 serial communications path for controller-to controller ping messages; (ii) a pair of unidirectional "controller present" signals so that each controller can tell that the other controller is present and powered up; (iii) a pair of unidirectional "controller reset" signals so that each controller can hold the other in reset should that become necessary; (iv) a "cable present" indicator so that a controller can tell if the Dual-Active Circuit/Cable is connected, and used as a stop gate during the boot process to prevent a controller from booting in a system that already has a running controller without first coordinating the boot with that existing controller.
Circuitry to support controller-to-controller serial communication is implemented as follows: (1) The Dual-Active Cable implements a null-modem function such that the Tx pin on one controller is connected to the Rx pin on the other controller and vice-versa. (2) Standard UART serial communication processes can be used to send any message between the controllers. (3) If the cable is disconnected the UART receiver will see a continuous marking condition.
Circuitry to support the other-controller-present function is implemented as follows: (1) The Dual-Active Circuit/Cable connects the DTR output from one controller to the DSR input signal on the other controller, and vice-versa. (2) In the DAC960SCA configuration the DTR signal is hard-wired to a logic low, so that when the cable is connected and the controllers are powered up this causes the DSR signal to be a logic low, indicating to the receiving controller that the other controller is present and powered up. (3) If the cable is disconnected at either end, the RS-232 receiver will cause the DSR signal to go to a logic 1. (4) If the other controller is powered down the RS-232 receiver will cause the DSR signal to go to a logic 1. (5) A logic 1 on the DSR signal indicates to the receiving controller that either: (a) the cable is missing, or (b) the other controller is not present, or (c) the other controller is powered down, so that in these situation other signals can then be used to further diagnose the situation.
Circuitry to support the cable-present function is implemented as follows: (1) The Dual-Active Cable connects ground to pin 9 of the DB-9 connector, and this pin is then routed to the KBL_PRES* bit in the Dual UART Input Port Register. (2) If the KBL_PRES* bit is a logic 0, it indicates that the Dual-Active Cable is connected to the controller. Note that this KBL_PRES* bit only indicates if the cable is connected to the controller reading the KBL_PRES* bit, it does not indicate if the cable is connected to the other controller.
Circuitry to support the reset-other-controller function is implemented as follows: (1) The Dual-Active Cable connects the RTS output from one controller to the CTS input on the other controller, and vice-versa. (2) The CTS input is used as a reset input signal to the controller. Logic and firmware are implemented to prevent glitches on this signal from accidentally triggering a reset on the controller, where CTS at a logic low will reset the controller if certain other conditions are met. (3) If the cable is disconnected at either end, the RS-232 receiver will cause the CTS signal to go to a logic 1. (4) If the other controller is powered down the RS-232 receiver will cause the CTS signal to go to a logic 1. (5) A bit titled NRST_INH* is implemented in the Dual UART General Purpose Output Register which is used by firmware to mask the CTS reset signal, such that if RST_INH* is at a logic low, the CTS reset input will have no effect, and where the RST_INH* signal is set to a logic 1 by the PON* power-on reset signal so that the controller is sensitive to the CTS reset after power up. (6) The KBL_PRES* signal must indicate that a cable is present for the CTS reset to have any effect. (7) The RTS signal defaults to a logic 1 as a result of the PON* power-on reset signal when a controller powers up.
For the case where two controllers are connected by a Dual-Active Cable, the controllers are configured for dual-active operation, and power is applied, the interaction of firmware and hardware with regard to the controller-to-controller reset operates as follows: (1) Hardware on both controllers powers up to allow a CTS reset from the other controller. (2) One of the controllers will win the boot process and will assert RST_INH* to mask any reset from the other controller, and the boot winner then asserts CTS low to keep the other controller in reset. (3) At a point in time determined by firmware, the boot winner drives CTS high to allow the other controller to boot, and will de-assert RST_INH* so that a CTS reset can enter the controller from the other controller should that become necessary. (4) A controller will not boot if the KBL_PRES* bit is not at a logic 0.
For the case where two controllers are connected by a Dual-Active Cable, the controllers are configured for dual-active operation, and one of the controllers detects a fault on the other controller (such as a failure to respond to ping), operation is as follows: (1) The controller detecting the failure will first protect itself by asserting the RST_INH* signal, so that a surviving controller is protected from glitches and other signal aberrations that may occur as the failed controller is replaced or other maintenance actions are taken. (2) The controller detecting the failure will then hold the failed controller in reset by asserting the CTS signal low.
For the case where a controller is initially configured as a simplex controller, and then is configured for dual-active operation, and the user adds a second controller, operation is as follows: (1) In light of the fact that a controller configured for dual-active operation will not boot unless it detects the KBL_PRES* bit=0, a user may accomplish this either by attaching a Dual-Active Cable and letting the cable dangle from the DB-9 connector, or the user may attach a DB-9 Plug. (2) Once a dual-active capable controller boots in a simplex environment it will enter "survivor" mode, which mode will allow the controller to automatically initiate fail-back on insertion of a properly connected second controller. (3) Survivor mode also allows the user to remove the cable once the controller is booted, and the controller will continue operation (this is important to upgrade processes as noted in the next steps). (4) While in "survivor" mode, the controller asserts its RST_INH* signal to protect itself against CTS glitches that may occur during an upgrade, and asserts its RTS signal to make sure any second controller which is added will start out held in reset. (5) It is likely that users will have single controller situations that are later upgraded to dual-active situations, but those users will have installed a DB-9 Plug to avoid having a dangling cable, so that when ready to upgrade the user can remove the DB-9 Plug from the existing controller and attach one end of a Dual-Active Cable to the controller without shutting the system down. (6) The next step in a upgrade process is to attach the "hanging" end of the Dual-Active Cable to a second controller before inserting that controller into the backplane. (7) Once the cable is attached, the user inserts the second controller into the backplane, and the survivor will see the Controller Present indicator go active and will initiate the fail-back process to bring that controller on-line.
For the case where a controller is running in a dual-active pair but detects that Its
cable has been removed, operation is as follows: (1) The controller will immediately shut down and allow the other controller to become the survivor. (2) A controller which is already a survivor will not shut down on detecting removal of the cable.
We now describe an embodiment of a circuit that allows a DB9 connector to be used by controller firmware in one of several configurations, including the three specific configurations described immediately below.
In this first configuration, illustrated in FIG. 2, and referred to a mode 1, the DB9 connector provides a standard RS-232 interface with full modem control signaling available to the firmware. This connection is used by the firmware to provide a configuration and status interface to the user.
The inventive structure and method may also be used with a second configuration, referred to as mode 2, having an SCA disk controller configured for simplex operation in the firmware. Ibis second configuration is illustrated in FIG. 3. Here, the DB9 connector provides a standard RS-232 interface, but full modem control signaling is not available to the firmware. This second embodiment of the DB9 connection is used by the firmware to provide a configuration and status interface to the user.
In FIG. 4 there is illustrated yet a third configuration, referred to as mode 3, and also involving an SCA controller, the SCA controller is configured for dual-active operation in the firmware. Here, the DB9 connector provides a sideband controller-controller communication path for messaging, control, and status indications when a special cable is used to interconnect the two controllers.
In the embodiments of the invention illustrated in the figures, it is noted that the mode of operation (mode 1 versus modes 2 or 3) may be selected by configuring a pair of load/no-load resistors (or jumpers). In addition, the mode 2 SCA simplex behavior versus the mode 3 SCA duplex behavior is selected by the firmware and the use of the special controller interconnect cable.
The inventive structure and method have several advantages and provide for flexible installation and configuration of devices and systems. Several specific implementation advantages are described below.
As a first example, in either an SCA or Charon configuration where the only available system connections are the SCSI port(s), and ethernet port (jack), and a single DB9 connector, the DB9 connector provides the RS-232 functionality as described.
In a second example, in either the Charon (mode 1) or simplex SCA (mode 2) there may be a needed for an RS-232 connection for initial user configuration interfaces, which can be provided for by the DB9 rather than, for example a DB25 connection.
In a third example, for the duplex SCA (mode 3) situation, there may be a need for a controller-controller communication path compatible with certain proprietary dual controller implementations (such as the made by Mylex (Fremont, Calif.) which provide for an RS-232 transmission and receipt of ASCII characters, an indication of controller presence, and a way to hold the other controller in hardware reset. The DB9 implemented RS-232 connection provides this capability.
As a fourth example, the inventive structure and method may be used to remap existing RS-232 signals where additional connectors are not available. For example, in the Mylex SX dual controller, the communication implementation uses a second RS-232 port for Tx/Rx and two discrete 5V signals for controller presence and partner reset. Because the Charon (mode 1) and simplex SCA (mode 2) needed to use a standard RS-232 connector and no other external connector was available, a new implementation which optionally remapped existing RS-232 modem control signals was needed. This DB9 configuration with remapped modem control signals provides the desired operation and function.
One particular exemplary embodiment of the inventive circuit is illustrated in FIG. 5. In this circuit it may be observed that for the Charon (mode 1) configuration, resistor R1 is loaded, resistor R2 is not loaded and the DB9 connector presents a complete RS-232 interface including modem control signals.
In the SCA (mode 2) configuration, resistor R1 is not loaded and resistor R2 is loaded. In this case the DB9 connector can present a standard RS-232 interface (except for DTR,) or if the firmware is configured for dual-active controller operation and a special cable is attached, the DB9 connector presents an RS-232 RX/TX pair, cross-coupled 'partner present' signals, and cross coupled 'reset partner' signals. The special cable is a null-modem RS-232 cable modified by coupling pin 9 (normally a no-connect) with pin 5 (GND). The following table shows the pin connections of the special cable (conversion cable):
Pin 1
Pin 2
Pin 3
Pin 3
Pin 5
Pin 6
Pin 7
Pin 8
Pin 9
Pin 4
Pin 3
Pin 2
Pin 4
Pin 8
Pin 7
The special cable causes the I AM PRESENT* output signal on one controller to appear on the other controller's PARTNER PRESENT* input signal. Similarly, the RESET PARTNER* output signal on one controller appears on the other controller's RESET ME* input signal. The CABLE PRESENT* signal is pulled up on the controller and is only asserted (low) only when the special cable is attached to the DB9 connector because a standard RS-232 cable leaves pin 9 as a no connect, but the special cable connects it to pin 5 (GND).
Both the PARTNER PRESENT* and RESET ME* input signals are deasserted if there is nothing connected to the DB9 connector, or if the partner controller connected by the cable is powered off (this is a behavior of the RS-232 transceiver chip). The RESET INHIBIT* signal is a control bit used by the firmware to prevent any transient conditions on the RESET ME* signal from causing a RESET BOARD* assertion. The firmware asserts RESET INHIBIT* before asserting RESET PARTNER* when it determines that it is necessary to kill the partner controller.

To eat here, patrons must ask to be seated in the basement sushi speakeasy that lies beneath the "soba izakaya," Daruma-Ya. Downstairs, the tomato-red walls are replaced with a bamboo ceiling and pebbled flooring surrounding an 8-seat sushi bar and three banquettes. But the best kept secret of this hideaway lies in its exciting list of lesser-known fish, like tender, light Pacific Saury; firm, slightly chewy pencil fish; and meaty silver beltfish. Diners are also treated to high-grade samples of more common offerings, like tuna and fluke. There's an equally talented kitchen behind-the-scenes, preparing dishes such as hearty, miso-marinated black cod and juicy Wagyu beef tataki.

Richard Dexter Genealogy, 1642-1904
Being a history of the descendants of Richard Dexter of Malden, Massachusetts, from the notes of John Haven Dexter and original researches. Richard Dexter, who was admitted an inhabitant of Boston (New England), Feb. 28, 1642, came from within ten miles of the town of Slane, Co. Meath, Ireland, and belonged to a branch of that family of Dexter who were descendants of Richard de Excester, the Lord Justice of Ireland. He, with his wife Bridget, and three or more children, fled to England from the great Irish Massacre of the Protestants which commenced Oct. 27, 1641. When Richard Dexter and family left England and by what vessel, we are unable to state, but he could not have remained there long, as we know he was living at Boston prior to Feb. 28, 1642.

Success is a job for an unemployed teen, housing for a homeless mother and child, acceptance to college. It is a green card, a clean bill of health, the recording of a beautiful, original song. For us, success is tied to transformation, and it couldn't happen without you.
At The Door, success comes from the lasting change our young people affect in their own lives, and in the lives of those around them. We see it when they transform into mentors, advocates and leaders. We see it when they summon the courage and the confidence to aggressively pursue their dreams.
"The Door opened my eyes to so many possibilities." - Shu Min

I've got a scenario where one message can generate multiple messages to be processed independently of the original.
I have tried the splitter EIP but it looks like it has a default aggregation strategy (which I can't seem to be able to turn off).
Can I achieve this route:
where multipleMsgGenerator can send n number of independent messages to "direct:out" ?

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 241 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Mountainbear OK Value for money This microwave is reasonably good value for money. It is very easy to use however when you look closely it looks quite cheap. Also, there was no microwave glass revolving plate so I had to use the one from my old microwave. The main reason I chose this microwave was for the colour and the price. 24 December 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Graham22 It's a good one! It is simple to use, thankfully. Controls are logical, smooth to use and have a quality feel to them. Heating of food and liquids is good due to E rating. Will recommend to anyone as it works well and is easy use. Also, looks great in red with retro styling. Picked up in store for £45, BARGAIN. 27 December 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by soncat Very Chic Not only works fab, but looks great in the kitchen too. The price was at least £10.00 cheaper than anywhere else i looked and delivery was prompt at a sensible charge. Would defo recommend the Microwave and Asda, if your in the market for buying a chic great piece of kitchen musts! 19 March 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by nettie1290 Very stylish I purchased this microwave as I thought it looked very modern and stylish, I was right! It arrived very well packaged and I struggled getting it out of the box. the instructions and dials are very straight forward and easy to use. The only down fall is that it doesn't have a clock! 27 October 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Billybumble Lovely red retro style microwave Bought this microwave both for the look and the price. Excellent value for money, lovely to look at and much quieter than my previous microwave. Not had it long, but working fine. I am very happy with it and would recommend. Bought the red one, much nicer than the cream colour. 09 September 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by chrissy121 Didnt last! I was really pleased with this microwave it was so easy to use... up until now, It has stopped working after just under a year, i've changed the fuse with 2 new ones neither did the job so its definitely the microwave. Wish id kept the receipt! Just what i need on top of Xmas 01 December 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by voovon Just The Job I can't fault this microwave. I love the colour and appearance of it. I like the fact it doesn't have a clock and saves energy because of this. Easy to operate and understand. An excellent microwave. It doesn't take up much room on the worktop, and it does everything I need. 30 March 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bugbabe Good Value for money. Brougth this after our old micro died after christmas. Our last one was really expensive and sometimes time consuming to programme. Love the simplicityof this product. All the family can work it, even my husband. Love the colour also. Arrived a lot quicker than expected. 04 January 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by charters fantastic item This microwave is a great buy at a great price and looks really good in my new kitchen. It actually looks more expensive than it is with its vibrant red colour and the silver buttons really make it stand out.Its really easy to use and would definatly recommend to anyone. 14 January 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by ABH1493 Better than expected on all fronts Compact overall size, yet still 20 litres. Lightweight, simple to use and easy to follow instructions. Takes up a lot less room on the kitchen work top, but still looks modern and stylish. Delighted with the purchase, but no I'll need to go other appliances to match it! 23 December 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kelly1234 Ideal gift I purchased this for my nan as a Christmas present as it had a handle on it instead of push buttons and it was very basic for us to use ( not all this digital and lots of buttons that she won't use) the colour is very stylish and it is compact overall fantastic product. 16 December 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by cromwall very good item I bought this item because it looked good and it goes with my colour scheme I really did not know how good it really was,i was very surprised at the easiness to master,it is so straight forward,also I liked the easiness of the dialled timer,thanks for a great product. 20 November 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by madmcmad good purchase i bought this microwave to replace one already owned mainly to colour match other red kitchen items, but i have to say that it was a good purchase for the price, the micro is smart easy to set up and easy to use, on the whole i recommend the purchase this item 26 January 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by 1639woody Mr we found that the item was a good price and was very good value for money, it is simple to use and it does have a very modern apperance and it does not take up to much space in the kitchen we are very happy with this product and would purchase this item again. 03 October 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by caravanlowther greatservice having seen the oven when visiting another town , i was pleased to see i could buy one online at a reduced price. the micro oven lived up to my expectations and looks great and the delivery was second to none. my brownie points from my wife will go a long way 09 September 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by lillylover very smart this micowave is very good it is not the biggest but it dose it`s job & dose it well. the colour is very nice (picked by my grandson )simple & easy to use the only thing was that it had a very short lead to the plug which meant it would not reach the socket 26 May 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by claireyfairy007 Good Vaule Makes a statement in the kitchen. Is user friendly with a quick start button. Options for reheating/defrosting and varable power levels. Does make a bit of noise when on but nothing too ear piercing. Overall is good value and brightens up the kitchen. 24 September 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Buttercup10 Good Value I bought this primarily because of the colour because it matched my other kitchen accessories. I just wanted a basic microwave. However I was pleasantly surprised at not only how good it looked but what value for money it proved to be. A good purchase. 11 January 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by phlebot good buy this microwave is excellent.I wanted one that was simple to use as I had not had a digital one before.It is very simple and having a proper handle makes it easier for people like me with arthritic hands. I cannot fault it and the colour is lovely too. 12 March 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by bluemacc Great product I wanted a red microwave that also had great functions. When it was delivered I was very pleased as it was just the right 'red' - a lovely bright pillar box red. The functions are also good too with a defrost button included. All in all a great buy! 10 January 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by OnlineShopper45 Looks good and is easy to use I really like the fact that this microwave switches itself on when you open the door, otherwise it uses no energy. It is really simple to use and has a dial which can be accurate in seconds. It was good value and I think it looks good too. 23 December 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by comeofit best buy exactly what it says on the web......then more. I am truly impressed, I purchased this item for its cool retro look, expecting to compromise on power and functions against a more expensive model. None of it, this is an exceptional find!! 21 June 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by gizzyziggy brilliant bargain this maicrowave is what I have been looking for, for ages a lovely deep red modern cool looking microwave which works a treat not too complicated and a well designed frontage. I will be looking for all the best deals now at asda online 22 December 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by solskjaer20 Daewoo KOR6N9RR 20L Microwave its red, its retro, its sexy, and its a microwave....looks cool on the kitchen shelf, and at least two people have said " oooooh i like your microwave " on spotting it sitting there. Recommended...did i mention it was red and sexy 25 February 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 Amazing Value for Money - Looks Expensive! I purchased this on sale, needing one to use quickly - thinking I'd buy another one at a later date BUT I am AMAZED by the quality! It looks very stylish and is easy to use - with a techy edge. I'll stick to this one! Very Happy!! 21 June 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by DaddyBrownBear Brrrrrrr.... Ding Great purchase. Colour is superb, looks great. The standby functionality is brilliant, so it isn't wasting energy when you aren't using it. Easy to use. Used many times and it has made things hot every time... always a good sign. 14 September 2012

Rated 4 out of 5 by Clarisha Very attractive microwave This microwave sets off my kitchen beautifully! It's retro design makes it a feature in a kitchen instead of just an appliance. It is a little noisier than some other microwaves but does everything you would need it to do. 15 December 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by FFromSA Happy with purchase Bought this because of its looks and stylish design, the perfect addition to my new kitchen and easy to use. Others around same price pretty much the same but this one suits and looks better than standard white or silver. 08 September 2012

Temperance Brennan Quotes
Brennan: Something is bugging me.
Booth: Yeah me too. There's a human skull in my living room.
It's a myth that transcends race. It is an abiding tenet of humanity.
There is no evidence that our consciousness survives our corporeal death in any way.
Booth: Once you start with the math you don't stop, right?
Bones: I think everyone's like that, don't you?
Booth: Yeah, I think so, definitely. Go math! Math people forever, right?
Fisher: I don't know if you're aware, but I do a bit of stand-up myself.
Bones: I imagine you are not very skilled at it, as you are not a humorous person.
Bones: Now you don't have to unfold and refold a map.
Booth: Wait a second, I like maps. What's wrong with maps?
Bones: Well, maps cannot tell you the amount of traffic to expect en route to your destination. See? Now we can relax and talk about interesting things.
Booth: This is not how the cowboys settled this country.
Bones: I know exactly why I love you.
Booth: Okay, why don't you give me your top three reasons.
Bones: First, you love me. Second, you love Christine. Third, you..
Booth: Get's mysterious right?
Bones: No, let me gather my thoughts.
Booth: That's exactly why we have music and poetry, Bones.
Bones: Third, your physicality is remarkable. Now you give three of your top reasons for loving me.
Booth: I don't have reasons.
Bones: [scoffs]
Booth: What?
Bones: I think what you just said is very romantic.
Bones: Sweets has trust issues involving finding a home. Since he grew up an orphan, the anger he's sublimated has paralyzed him from developing a healthy perspective on what having a home means. That made him bond with us and our home so he didn't have to deal with his own emotional insecurities.
Booth: Bones shoots from the outside! Three points!
Sweets: Where's that psychobabble coming from?
Booth: Well, you left one of your psychobabble books in our bathroom.
Bones: I've spent so much time trying to control my life. I thought it meant that I was strong, but I was just afraid.
Booth: Afraid of what?
Bones: I dug out remains from the rubble at the towers. For two weeks, I was methodical. A scientist. I did what was asked of me. I did my job. I never shed a tear. I was proud of that. All these years, I've never let myself deal with it.
Booth: Bones, we all deal with things in our own way.
Bones: I could avoid it all before. I had no one in my life. But now I think of those people, and I think of you. Any one of them, it could've been you.
Bones: Most cultures have ceremonies to celebrate milestones in a man's life.
Sweets: Oh god, this isn't about circumcision, is it?
Booth: No, it's about dancing.
Bones: There's something very odd here.
Angela: Yeah, but you're gonna have to be a little bit more specific than that for those of us who entire scenario odd.
Bones: I think you're trying to convey that you would no longer like to discuss politics.
Booth: Unless we're talking about JFK and Marilyn Monroe.
