Paul & Bryan sono stati fantastici. La casa é meravigliosa. Ricca di dettagli e particolari che fanno capire quanto alta sia la sensibilità per questo piccolo tesoro arroccato in una delle colline di Silver Lake. L'alloggio oltre ad essere particolarmente curato, é arricchito da uno splendido giardino. Dalle 18.00 ogni sera, tempo permettendo, dal terrazzo si assiste alla meraviglia del tramonto. Il sole va a scomparire oltre le colline di Hollywood. Il Parcheggio é facile e sicuro come lo é tutto il quartiere e come pare tutta la città di Los Angeles.
"Ceck in, Ceck out rapidissimi... si nota l'esperienza di due viaggiatori che sanno di cosa e di come ha bisogno l'ospite.
Questa era la mia terza volta a LA, a distanza di quindici anni tutti i quartieri sono stati ripuliti compresa down town. L'America è fantastica ed é ancora vivo il sapore del sogno americano, unica cosa che a noi italiani manca.
Ho portato i miei bimbi agli Universal Studios, anche questi sono cambiati rispetto all'ora (in peggio) sarà stato il stato il mese, sarà stata una coincidenza ma 100 dollari spesi per stare in coda ovunque non valgono la pena. Particolarmente se le code arrivano a toccare le 2 ore d'attesa.
Ritornando alla casa... 10 e lode per Paul, Bryan e il loro splendido rifugio.
Consigliato a tutti.
Great host and nice place, highly recommended.
Staying at Paul And Bryan 's wonderful house is being a great experience for all of us.
They are the perfect host and their care and attention had made a pleasure our time.
The written directions, the details and the warm welcome and goodbye was heart filling.
The city views are amazing, the neighborhood is quiet, friendly and one of the top places to be in the world. Cafes, walks, book stores and very cultural.
We are so thankful, and grateful and without doubt recommend this beautiful place and their amazing host.
Viva LA, Viva Paul and Bryan!!
This is the second time we have stayed here and it won't be the last. If I offered P and B a million dollars to improve their hospitality and service, they would not get a penny! They are amazing, as is the house. I consider this place a real diamond of a find, like a secret hidden away in the hills. Its great, and we will be back.
Everything was excellent. Paul was responsive, welcoming and available. The place was spacious and the outdoor garden was exceptionally beautiful. Convenient parking right in from. A lovely quiet block in a lovely quiet neighborhood.
This is my home away from home in LA. I LOVE IT. Paul and Bryan create a 5 Star experience for their guests. The secret is out now, this is one of the best places to stay in LA. Guys, please tell me where I can buy that mattress and topping. It feel like you are sleeping on a cloud. Everything about this place is WONDERFUL!!!!
Delightful Home and Perfect Hosts. Just wish I'd had more time. Thanks for everything. Beautiful location (would help to have a car) and easy commutable distance to all the major LA attractions.
I can't fault the accommodation in the slightest it really was perfect and the hosts Paul and Bryan were helpful and friendly (without being intrusive) again I wish I'd had more time to see them while in LA.
If your wondering if you should stay here take my advice and book now before someone else does.
About the Host, Paul And Bryan
We're both natives of Southern California and longtime residents of this great neighborhood, Silver Lake.
A few of our likes include good food, film, music, gardening, exploring the outdoors and spending time with friends and familia.
We look forward to welcoming you to the house and we'll do our very best to ensure your stay is pleasant and that you feel completely at home.
Cya soon

Spectrum Theatre
We have not yet selected the shows for our 64th Season.
Our next auditions will be held in August. Those auditions will be for the first show of our season, which will perform in October. Audition dates will be released in July.
To be notified when auditions are coming up, be sure to register for our e-mail newsletter!
Audition Preparation
* Students must be 9 years or older at the time of the auditions.
* Open to residents of any city, not just Davenport.
* Students may select to audition for one or both shows.
* Students should be ready to provide a conflict schedule for the whole rehearsal period of the show(s) for which they audition (see schedule below).
* Students must prepare a short monologue, no longer than 60 seconds. Must be memorized, so director can work with students. Monologues longer than 60 seconds will be asked to stop, as we have many actors to see. Please also bring in a written copy of your monologue to turn in.
* Students should NOT write original monologues. Please find another piece of literature (play, novel, monologue, book, nursery rhyme, poem, etc.) from which to perform.
* Remember, you are auditioning for a fantastical and adventurous show geared towards young audiences. Avoid bringing in a super dramatic, depressing monologue. Fit your monologue to the show at hand.
* Students should wear comfortable clothes for theatrical warm-ups & games at audition. No skirts, please. Come ready to have fun!
* The Cast, Crew, and Ensemble will be announced on Friday, December 19 at 5:00pm on the DJT website in the Mainstage section. Guidance will be given on the website to those who are and who may not have been cast.
* Please note: All students cast in the production will need to pay a $75.00 Mainstage Registration Fee. There is no charge to audition.
* Be ready to have fun!
Musical Auditions Requirements
Actors auditioning for musical must also prepare a song in addition to their monologue. If you are at an audition for two shows but only interested in the play, you need not prepare a musical.
* Please prepare one verse and one chorus from a musical theatre show (not to exceed 60 seconds, shorter is definitely fine).
* The song should fit your voice comfortably.
* Please avoid pop songs, prefer musical theatre.
* Bring sheet music for the accompanist. Sheet music for most songs is available at www.musicnotes.com.
Technical Crew
Some students may only be interested in joining us for Tech Crew working backstage, on lights, with sound, etc. Actors also have the chance to mark down if they are also interested in being on crew. It is a great chance to be involved, learn, and hang out with kids as excited as you are about the theatre! If you have an interest in only doing tech crew, please still come to the auditions. You will need to complete audition forms and participate in large group warm up and activities. You do NOT need to prepare a monologue if your only interest is Tech Crew. $40 Mainstage Registration Fee if selected for crew.
Supporting Role!
New on our audition forms will be the option to select "supporting role only." This means you do not have time to commit for a leading role. We have some great supporting roles in both shows! These roles offer fun, exciting, and challenging stuff with a more limited time commitment for busy students (still required to be fully available for tech week).
* Please bring a detailed copy of your schedule to auditions.
* Every effort will be made to accommodate for students' schedules and conflicts.
* At auditions, please be prepared to inform the staff of all scheduled conflicts you will have during the rehearsal period. It is helpful to make this list in advance before arriving at audition.
* If only auditioning for one show, we only need schedule for that timeline.
Ensemble Acting Company
Mainstage auditions are also used to cast our Ensemble Acting Company. We have so many talented students but never enough parts! Tis the world of theatre. But this is yet another opportunity. Ensemble actors will have the chance to perform at our class showcases and other events around the Quad Cities. This is an opportunity to continue to be challenged as a performer and have the experience of performing a show multiple times in various locations. There is a $75 fee if selected for Ensemble.
Rehearsals: Typically, we rehearse over a period of 6–7 weeks.
Performances: Performs during class showcase week at Junior Theatre. Additional performance opportunities likely.
Take a look at our past Mainstage productions!

As an example, TruStage™ has recently introduced FastApply AD&D™ to credit unions that are part of CUNA Mutual Group's MemberCONNECT Program®. It's an application process that specifically avoids time-consuming applications and paper forms. It offers members the ability to apply for their complimentary AD&D coverage in three minutes or less, completely online. And as an additional part of the process, members can also apply for higher levels of AD&D protection if they choose.When the application process functions in this way, not only does it provide fast and easy access to an important benefit of being a credit union member, but fosters quick comprehension by the credit union staff. When new members join or existing members visit the branch, it's easy for a frontline staff person to remind them to sign up for the complimentary membership benefit.Care and concern for member well-being has been a hallmark of the credit union movement since it began. Complimentary AD&D policies, combined with fast and easy online applications, continue to build on this tradition. For members, it's an opportunity to take an empowering look at what types and amounts of insurance protection are appropriate. For credit unions, it means serving as a financial resource for members in ways that extend beyond core products services.

When a buoyant turd starts to sink at one end causing the opposite end to rise out of the water. The turd will be unable to support its own weight and after only a few seconds it will violently break in half. The portion of the turd that was exposed to the air will come crashing down into the water and the two pieces will sink to the bottom of the toilet. Any corn or other undigested food unfortunate enough to be aboard this turd will be pulled under do to the vacuum effect the heavy turd creates as it sinks.
Dude, I just experienced my first Turdtanic. The splash got my ass all wet. I feel sorry for all that corn that was pulled under into a mirky cloud of shit never to be seen again.

Burner Max Payload
hi guys my ihas 124b died on me a few weeks back. I have a pioneer 219l which I think is compatible with burner max, when I loaded burner max and enabled it imgburn shows my verbatim disc as an 8.7gb disc in the drive which is cool., tried to burn wwe13 which look successful but it loads and lets you set up the game and crashes when loading the first fight. could it be a bad burn? or the drive not working with burnermax?
I know the game iso is good as I burned a copy for my brother a while back with my ihas
Also read something about if you cant enable hypertuning or access the liteon advanced settings in imgburn then chances are the burner wont work but that was may 2011 so not sure if this is still the same.
Any info would be greatly appreciated or if anyone knows if this drive works or not.If it dont fit...MODIFY IT and make it fit

It is rare that a hotel does not clutter up its spaces with art, artefacts and curiosities. Visitors, after all, see art as a differentiator, and hotels are usually great repositories - whether the Taj Mahal in Mumbai or ITC Maurya in New Delhi. Is the Grand Chola an aberration?
The hotel's designers have opted for a minimal look and the expanse of space as the prime design element. While the carvings and motifs are non-intrusive, there are at least a few artworks from the group's collection that can be spotted in occasional spaces.
These include three Husains, the only "master" in the hotel's collection so far, while Thota Tharani with five paintings and S G Vasudev with one make up the only southern representative in the selection. The other artists represented hear are mostly from the capital and include Paramjit Singh, Naresh Kapuria, Manisha Gera Baswani, Gopi Gajwani, Kanchan Chander, Vinod Sharma and others who, merit aside, lend no particular flavour to what could have been a sangam of southern art - whether traditional or contemporary.

Why is Food Inc. rated PG?
Official MPAA Rating: Food Inc. is rated PG for for some thematic material and disturbing images
Disturbing images of animals and dead carcasses are seen in meat packaging plants and on industrial farms. A cow is pushed along the ground with a forklift. Dead chickens are hauled out of a coop. Men gather up live chickens and push them into a transport truck. On a family farm, chickens are slaughtered by cutting their throats. Squealing pigs are herded toward the kill floor. Diabetes and other health concerns are addressed. A scientist examines a cow's stomach through a surgical opening. A mother recounts the events surrounding the death of her child from food poisoning. Verbal intimidation tactics are used to silence farmers. Brief name-calling and profanities are used in the script.

A discussion with Jacob Massaquoi, political and human rights activist in Liberia, Director of Africa Action Salih Booker and founder of the Patrice Lumumba Coalition Elombe Brath. Today is the 43rd anniversary of Congolese independence.
West African countries urged the US yesterday to join them in sending a force to stop the civil war in Liberia. The UN security council mission said it expected the world body to back intervention.
Two failed rebel assaults this month on Monrovia–the capital of Liberia–have left an estimated 700 people dead and prompted calls for a peacekeeping force from UN secretary general, Kofi Annan, Britain, France and legions of Liberians.
In the worst-hit western pockets of the city, shells still littered the streets on Saturday and homes were deserted. In other parts, thousands of people who had run from their homes crowded into ruined buildings, schools and the city stadium. This according to The New York Times.
In their makeshift camps, short on running water and sanitation facilities, Monrovians are also facing a cholera outbreak. Many arrived at clinics in wheelbarrows.
The US is under the most pressure to step in to help end the fighting having historic ties to Liberia since it was founded as a colony for freed American slaves 150 years ago.
President George W. Bush, who will make his first visit to Africa next week, called on the Liberian president, Charles Taylor, to step aside last week, but stopped short of committing U.S. forces to the effort.
On Thursday, a furious mob laid out corpses outside the U.S. embassy and screamed for American intervention to put an end to the killing.
In other news from Africa, warring sides in the Congo have agreed on the formation of a unified military–one of the last main sticking points for the country's peace agreement.
In the negotiations, the government and two main rebel groups agreed to divide major military posts between them.
The conflict has been called "Africa's first world war," as armies and militias from Zimbabwe, Angola, Zambia, Namibia, Rwanda, Uganda and the Kabila government fight over the vast territory and rich mineral deposits in Congo.
Aid groups estimate the 5-year civil war in the central African nation have claimed over 3 million lives.
On Thursday, the UN security council extended the mandate of the UN Peacekeeping force in the Congo through July. UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has asked the Security Council to increase the peacekeeping force on the ground to over 10,000 troops.
Today is the 43rd anniversary of Congolese independence. Patrice Lumumba became the government's first Prime Minister following the country's independence on June 30th 1960. Within six months he was assassinated in a CIA backed coup the brought the Dictator Mubuto Sese Seko to power.
- Jacob Massaquoi, political and human rights activist in Liberia. He was a liaison for the International Association for Volunteer Efforts and is a co-founder of Free Teens Liberia. He was jailed, beaten and tortured in Liberia and accused of disseminating false and damaging information to Taylor's regime. He sought and received political asylum in the U.S. last year.
- Elombe Brath, founder of the Patrice Lumumba coalition and WBAI producer of Africa Kaleidoscope.
- Salih Booker, Director of Africa Action which incorporates the African Committee on Africa (ACOA), The Africa Fund, and the Africa Policy Information Center (APIC).

Live Dream Love. To travel and experience life as others do, to be a citizen of the world and grow as a person.
I'm awkward - not so much in the socially-incapable-of-human-interaction kind of way, but more in the i-like-to-say-well-this-is-awkward-and-point-out-awkward-situations-that-would-otherwise-go-unnoticed kind of way. I like to think I can eliminate any awkward situation, by making the situation more awkward. That being said, awkwardness tends to follow me and I find myself in the most bizarre situations. I've learned to embrace it and believe it or not, awkwardity can be quite endearing.
live dream love. Live the Dream. Dream of Love. Love Life.
"It's never too late to be who you might have been." - George Eliot
I'm relatively new to CS. I'm still getting the feel for the community and figuring out what it is all about. I've had my first adventure and it was wonderful; I look forward to many more.
In 2009 I road-tripped from Des Moines, IA to the East Coast of the United States, and into Canada. I was on the road for a week and stayed with three friends along the way. It was by far my greatest life experience so far and I look forward to many more adventures.
I really dig theatre of all kinds. I'm a book worm. I freaking LOVE Harry Potter. I collect playing cards. I enjoy drawing, being artsy and making things aesthetically pleasing.
Movies: V for Vendetta, 300, The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Garden State, Away We Go
Music: I have an extremely eclectic taste, depending on my mood on a certain day it ranges from: The Shins to Zac Brown Band, musical soundtracks to Tchaikovsky.
Currently in my most recently played are:
Something Corporate, The Shins, Matt Nathanson, Counting Crows, John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Taylor Swift, Death Cab for Cutie, The Killers, Howie Day, Brand New, Straylight Run, Rent, Jason Mraz, Mumford & Sons
Books: I dig classic literature stuff that is generally referenced in pop culture - I like being in the loop. That being said, college overtook my life for the last four years and I did very little reading for fun in that time.
Thankfully I've started to make up for that lost time. Recently I've read: The Hunger Games trilogy, The Help, and Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit. I am currently making my way through Doctor Zhivago.
I went to Niagara Falls in Canada and watched the sunrise. It was fantastic.
I'm good at arranging things compositionally and making things aesthetically pleasing from room furniture to elements of a home-made birthday card.
I want to learn how to cook/bake. (I can make basics, but interesting, relatively easy/fast, and cheap deliciousness would be an awesome asset to my life.)

The present invention is directed to bicycles and, more particularly, to a bicycle power supply with a discharge function.
Some recent bicycles have been equipped with electronically controllable electrical components such as derailleurs, suspension devices, displays, etc., along with the electrical controllers for such components. A well-known example of this technology is an automatic bicycle transmission that uses a speed sensor to automatically change gears according to bicycle speed. In all cases, a power supply is required to supply electricity to the various electronic components. Sometimes batteries are used for such power supplies. However, batteries need to be replaced when their electricity is consumed, and such replacement places undesirable burdens on the rider. Furthermore, the electrical components may suddenly stop operating when the batteries are depleted, which can be very problematic.
To avoid the above problems, some systems use a rechargeable battery as the power supply, wherein the rechargeable battery may be recharged using an alternating current generator mounted to the bicycle. Such a system is shown in JP 2001-245475. In this system, a rectifier converts current from an alternating current generator to direct current, and the direct current is used to charge a capacitor that functions as a battery unit. The capacitors typically comprise electrolytic or double layer capacitors with relatively large capacities. Power from the capacitor then may be used to operate the various electrical components mounted on the bicycle.
While the use of rechargeable batteries solves some of the problems of single-use batteries, they still have some disadvantages. For example, since bicycles are used outdoors, the temperature of the power supply may increase dramatically when the bicycle is parked under exposure to direct sunlight, and such temperatures may shorten the life of the battery. In order to avoid this problem, protective measures have been taken such as covering the battery with insulating material. However, this increases the size of the battery, thus making it more difficult to install the battery onto the bicycle.
The present invention is directed to various features of a bicycle power supply. In one embodiment, a bicycle power supply apparatus comprises a battery unit; a bicycle condition detecting unit that detects when a bicycle is in a selected condition that ordinarily does not require drawing current from the battery unit for powering a current drawing element; and a current drawing unit that causes current to be drawn from the battery unit when the bicycle condition detecting unit detects the selected condition. Additional inventive features will become apparent from the description below, and such features alone or in combination with the above features may form the basis of further inventions as recited in the claims and their equivalents.
The handlebar assembly 4 comprises a handle stem 14, fastened to the upper part of the front fork 3, and a handlebar 15 fastened to the handle stem 14. Brake levers 16 and grips 17 are mounted on both ends of the handlebar 15. In this embodiment, the shift controller 20 is integrated with the right-side brake lever 16. The drive component 5 comprises a crank 37, mounted on the lower part (bottom bracket component) of the frame body 2, and a chain 38 that engages the crank 37 and the internal shifting hub 10. The internal shifting hub 10 is capable of producing three speed steps, including a low speed step (speed 1), an intermediate speed step (speed 2), and a high speed step (speed 3). These three speed steps can be selected by means of a motor unit 29 (
As shown in
As shown in
Motor driver 28 operates on a 1 mA current supplied by battery unit 32, and it controls a 1 A current supplied by the power storage element 32 to operate the shifting motor 45. Motor driver 28 is equipped with three operating modes for shifting motor: forward rotation, reverse rotation, and braking. In addition to braking the shifting motor 45, the braking mode may be used to intentionally decrease the voltage of battery unit 32 in a manner discussed below.
Control unit 25 is a programmed unit that automatically controls shifting of the internal shifting hub 10 via motor driver 28 according to travel speed. A separate control unit (not shown) uses information sent from control unit 25 to control liquid crystal display device 24 disposed in the shift controller 20. The control unit 25 also controls the headlight 18 by turning it on when surrounding light conditions fall below a certain prescribed brightness, and by turning it off when surrounding light conditions are above the prescribed brightness. In this embodiment, control unit 25 operates in either a normal mode or a power conservation mode. In power conservation mode, neither the liquid crystal display device 24 nor motor unit 29 is operated.
The charging rectifier circuit 33 comprises, for example, a half-wave rectifier circuit that rectifies an alternating current output from the alternating current generating dynamo 19 to 1A and 5 mA direct currents (for example). The battery unit may 32 comprise, for example, a high-capacity capacitor (e.g., an electric double layer capacitor) that stores the direct current power that is output from the charging rectifier circuit 33. The battery unit 32 also may comprise other capacitors, such as an electrolytic capacitor, or secondary batteries such as nickel cadmium batteries, lithium ion batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, etc., in lieu of a capacitor.
Battery replacement and recharging are unnecessary because the power storage element 32 stores electrical power from the alternating current generating dynamo 19, and components such as the control unit 25 are operated using this electrical power. Monitoring remaining battery power and carrying along spare batteries also become unnecessary, and shifting can be done automatically without performing the cumbersome procedures required by conventional power sources. The electrical power from the alternating current generating dynamo 19, which conventionally is not employed in the daytime, can be put to effective use in the shift control unit 12.
Voltage sensor 39 senses the voltage of battery unit 32 and provides this information to control unit 25. Control unit 25 uses the voltage information to control charging rectifier circuit 33 as well as motor driver 28 and liquid crystal display 24 when bicycle 1 is stopped in a manner discussed below.
The dynamo waveform shaping circuit 34 forms a speed signal from the alternating current output from the alternating current generating dynamo 19. More specifically, a half-cycle is extracted from a sine wave alternating current signal, passed through a Schmitt circuit or other appropriate waveform shaping circuit, and formed into a pulse signal corresponding to speed. Control unit 25 uses this signal to control the automatic shifting of the internal shifting hub 10 without requiring a separate speed sensor. Control unit 25 also uses this signal to calculate speed and distance and to determine whether the bicycle is in a stopped condition for a predetermined time interval (e.g., 15 minutes).
The auto light circuit 35 supplies or interrupts the 1 A current output from the alternating current dynamo 19 to the headlight 18 in response to on/off signal output from the control unit 25. Control unit 25 generates these signal based on the signals from the light sensor 36 in such a manner that the headlight 18 is switched on automatically when light levels fall below a prescribed limit, and it is switched off when light levels exceed the prescribed limit. In this embodiment, headlight 18 is operated from the alternating current generating dynamo 19 so that the current draw is less apt to adversely affect the battery unit 32, but this is not necessary.
Bicycle speed is detected based on the alternating current signal output from the alternating current generating dynamo 19, and shifting is controlled according to the detected bicycle speed and the selected shifting mode. Because alternating current generating dynamos generally have a plurality of circumferentially disposed magnetic poles, the alternating current generating dynamo 19 outputs an alternating current signal with a frequency related to the bicycle speed and the number of magnetic poles. Consequently, it is possible to obtain a larger number of signal pulses from the alternating current signal during each wheel rotation in comparison with a speed signal obtainable, for example, from a conventional speed sensor that detects a magnet mounted to the bicycle wheel. Therefore, the bicycle speed can be accurately detected within the space of one wheel rotation, and shifting can be controlled in real time with high precision. Furthermore, since shifting is controlled based on the alternating current signal from the alternating current generating dynamo 19, it is no longer necessary to dispose the shift control unit 12 in the vicinity of the bicycle wheel. No limitation is placed on the mounting position of the shift control unit 12.
The operation of control unit 25, and particularly those performed when parking the bicycle, may be understood from the flowcharts shown in
In Step S2, a timer that determines the per-cycle operation time of the microcomputer is started. In Step S3, a voltage decreasing operation shown in
If it is determined in Step S9 that the bicycle is in a parked condition, then the voltage V of battery unit 32 is read from voltage sensor 39 in Step S10. It is then determined in a Step S11 whether or not the voltage V is less than 3.5 V. If not, then the system is placed in a normal operating mode such that liquid crystal display 24 is turned on to display selected information, and the motor driver 28 is placed in a braking mode. Control unit 25 functions as a voltage decreasing unit in the form of a current drawing unit in this situation. Both of these operations cause current to be drawn from battery unit 32, even through current usually does not need not be drawn from these elements when the bicycle is parked. This, in turn, reduces the voltage of battery unit 32 to conserve battery life even when temperatures are elevated. Thereafter, processing returns to the main routine.
On the other hand, if it is determined in Step S11 that the voltage of battery unit 32 is below 3.5V, then the system enters a power conservation mode wherein liquid crystal display 24 is turned off in Step S14, and motor driver 28 is turned off in Step S15. Both of these steps conserve battery power. As a result of the foregoing algorithm, a reduction in battery life may be avoided while conserving power so that control unit 25 may quickly resume operation when the bicycle resumes traveling.
In the above embodiment, alternating current generating dynamo 19 was used as the power supply that charged battery unit 32. However, the teachings herein also may be applied to devices that use direct voltage sources such as batteries.
Switch 53 turns on and off the electricity supplied from battery 50 to battery unit 52 in response to command signals from control unit 51. Switch 53 may comprise relays, transistors, field effect transistors (FET″s), thyristors, photodiodes, and so on. In this embodiment, switch 53 is turned off by control unit 51 when the bicycle is in a parked condition, thus disconnecting battery unit 52 from battery 50 and control unit 51. As a result, battery unit 52 self-discharges through the ground potential, thus decreasing its voltage.
As in the previous embodiment, control unit 51 comprises a microcomputer with a CPU, RAM, ROM, and I/O interface, and it is programmed to control motor unit 29 and the other elements in a manner similar to that discussed above for the first embodiment. In addition to the components described immediately above, control unit 51 is coupled to a control switch 26 (e.g., operating dial 23 and operating buttons 21 and 22 as in the first embodiment), a liquid crystal display 55, a speed sensor 56, motor driver 28 and position sensor 47 in motor unit 29. Speed sensor 56 may comprise, for example, one or more magnets mounted to one of the bicycle wheels and a magnet sensor such as a reed switch or hall-effect element mounted on the frame body 2 or front fork 3 and positioned to detect the passage of the magnet and output detection pulses in a conventional manner. In this embodiment, control unit 51 may be housed within a gear shifter unit (not shown) attachable to the bicycle handlebar 15 together with motor driver 28, motor unit 29, battery 50, battery unit 52, and switch 53.
The main routine operations of control unit 51 are substantially identical to the first embodiment shown in
While the above is a description of various embodiments of the present invention, further modifications may be employed without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. For example, while the embodiments other than the first embodiment did not use a voltage sensor to monitor the voltage decreasing operation, such a voltage sensor could be provided, if desired. In this case, switch 53 may be turned off until the desired voltage is reached.
While the voltage decreasing operation was performed when the bicycle was in a parked condition, the voltage decreasing operation could be performed based on signals from a temperature sensor that detects the temperature of the battery unit. For example, the voltage decreasing operation could be performed when the temperature of the battery unit exceeds a predetermined value while the bicycle is parked.
The size, shape, location or orientation of the various components may be changed as desired. Components that are shown directly connected or contacting each other may have intermediate structures disposed between them. The functions of one element may be performed by two, and vice versa. The structures and functions of one embodiment may be adopted in another embodiment. It is not necessary for all advantages to be present in a particular embodiment at the same time. Every feature that is unique from the prior art, alone or in combination with other features, also should be considered a separate description of further inventions by the applicant, including the structural and/or functional concepts embodied by such feature(s). Thus, the scope of the invention should not be limited by the specific structures disclosed or the apparent initial focus on a particular structure or feature.

LG Prada (KE850) Mobile Phone - Screen and Operating SystemLars checks out the LG Prada (KE850) mobile phone which offers some fancy features, but is it worth the high price?
Screen and Operating System
The screen is rather large at three inches and with a 240 x 400 resolution, it also looks great. This is a 262,000 colour display as well, so pictures will look much better than on most Windows Mobile devices. You'll see how clear the display is from our screen shot images, as these were taken with our digital SLR camera. The capacitive touch surface was generally okay to use, although some applications had far too small icons for normal fingers to use them and required multiple attempts at selecting the right option. Although, the general UI was pretty quick and easy to use, with the only major issue being that there's no virtual keyboard for text input.
Instead you have to rely on T9 or multi tap when you want to enter messages, which isn't the best way of doing it even on a device with a normal keypad. Sure, if you're used to the kind of text lingo that is being used these days, then maybe that isn't going to be too much of an issue, but if you want to send a business email while you're out of the office, then it's going to drive you nuts. The same goes for when you want to use the web browser, as typing in URL's without a keyboard, just isn't fun at all.
But before we go into details about the software, let's take a closer look at the hardware. Sadly this isn't a 3G handset, but you might already have guessed that due to the slim line design. You get tri-band GSM coverage on 900, 1800 and 1900MHz and it supports GPRS and EDGE. It also lacks Wi-Fi, but it does include Bluetooth, although we couldn't pin-point if it supports A2DP profiles for stereo sound.
It has only 8MB of built-in memory, although it should ship with a 256MB memory card, but this might differ depending on where you buy it. For some reason LG seemed it fit to limit the contacts list to 1,000 contacts and the SMS memory to 300 messages - even worse, the calendar is limited to a mere 100 entries and 50 text memos. Considering that this kind if information takes up very little space, it's an odd limitation that LG has imposed upon the Prada.
The standby screen can actually be messed around with in several ways. You can use a range of pre-installed templates and backgrounds and one of them has a Koi Karp swimming around seen from above and it looks pretty cool. The analogue watch can be moved around the screen, you just grab hold of it and drag it around with your finger. Tap it and you get a menu up that allows you to set your alarm. All pretty neat and it gives out an air of expectation.
The rest of the UI is quite easy to use, although to get the most out of it, you sadly have to leave all the tapping sounds and other noises on, as you won't know if you've miss-pressed a key without it. This can make the Prada a slightly annoying experience in the long term. The menu structure is very straight forward and the Prada has four small tabs for the various menu sections on the right hand side. You tap these to move between the various menus and simply tap whatever you want to do to start the right application.
It doesn't take more than a couple of minutes to get to grips with things and this is a good thing, since you won't have to sit down and read page after page of manuals. Oh, by the way, the manual comes on a small 8cm CD instead of being a printed booklet, so be grateful that the Prada is so easy to read, as digital manuals are generally quite terrible.
To make a call you simply press the call button, or you can select the call icon at the standby screen or from the menu by pressing the dialling icon. Up comes a virtual keypad and you tap in the number and press dial - again this can be done with the button or the touch screen.
You can of course synchronise your contacts from your PC with the Prada and this way you can just pick and choose your contacts from a list, which is much easier than entering it all manually. The contacts application allows for contact groups and speed dials, just as with most other modern phones.
Other cool features of the Prada is of course the MP3 player, which is pretty straightforward to use again, although it's a little bit tricky to figure out how to get to your music the first time, as you don't get a file browser, only a couple of playlist options, although the play all will play all music that is on the device or the memory card. The UI for the MP3 player looks quite cool, although it lacks an equalizer, much like the media player on Windows Mobile devices. The supplied headset comes with a separate remote and this way you can choose to use your own headphones.
Saying that, the supplied ear buds sounded quite good for something that comes bundled with a phone. The corded remote has a built-in mic and a wide range of buttons. You can answer and end calls with it, play and stop your music, fast forward or rewind or skip forward and backwards between tracks. It also has a built in volume key and a small clip for fastening it onto your clothes.
There's also a built-in FM radio and it had fairly good reception, although not great. It will auto scan for radio channels and store them in one of 12 presets. You can't manually just scan for stations, which is slightly odd.

Very Pretty Necklace!
By LOVE TO SHOP
from OLDS
This is such a pretty and feminine necklace. People always look at it when I wear it, and I can tell they are admiring it's beauty. There are lots of circle necklaces out there, but this one is different. It has a unique design and the way it sparkles, with the lotus flower design on the bottom of the circle, really add to it's apparent fascination for onlookers. So glad I bought it, I had wavered for a long time before I did. Get it, you will not be sorry you did... especially at this price!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
