By SAMANTHA BECHTEL, Bereavement Coordinator, Stein Hospice
Leadership Erie County Class of 2009
Investigating hospice is something every terminally ill patient and their families should look into.
Patients and their families may feel hiring hospice is giving up and their hope for recovery will be eliminated. Before working in hospice, I may have believed the same thing because society still shies from discussions on death and dying although all of us will die.
Hospice is a special way of caring for a patient whose disease cannot be cured. Hospice care employs a family-centered approach, recognizing that caring for a dying person can be difficult, and extends care to a patient's loved ones as well.
The goal of this care is to help the patient live free from pain and suffering. Other goals include: helping patients be independent for as long as possible, receiving support through the stages of the dying process, receiving care for family and friends, and dying with dignity.
Hospice care is a team-oriented approach to provide expert medical, emotional and spiritual care. It is tailored to the patient's needs and wishes, as well as to needs of the patient's loved ones. This team may consist of doctors, nurses, social workers, home health aides, clergy, volunteers and bereavement counselors. Medicare, Medicaid and most private insurance plans include provisions for hospice care. Hospice is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Hospice is a philosophy of care and can be delivered wherever the patient calls home. In most cases, care is provided in the patient's or a loved one's home. It is also provided in freestanding hospice centers, hospitals, long-term care facilities and assisted living.
Hospice patients are eligible for the hospice benefit when a doctor has certified they have a terminal diagnosis with an estimated prognosis of six months or less to live. However, it is recognized that terminal illness does not have an entirely predictable course and making medical prognoses of life expectancy is not always an exact science. Some common diagnoses may include but are not limited to: Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, liver disease, COPD/lung disease, renal failure, adult failure to thrive, end-stage diabetes, certain heart problems, and cancer.
Four different categories of hospice care are available. Routine home care is provided when the person is not in a medical crisis. Continuous care is around the clock care, when there is a medical crisis. General inpatient care, at an inpatient facility, is provided when care cannot be managed where the patient resides. Inpatient respite care is available to give the family caregiver a rest, for periods of up to 5 consecutive days.
Caring and compassionate hospice professionals are dedicated to helping their patients having a beautiful life and dignified death. Hospice families are relieved of the financial stress and have a team of hospice staff that help to meet their needs and journey with them during and after the process. Our economy benefits as well, since home hospice care saves health care benefit dollars. The federal government's studies conducted prior to 1983 demonstrated, on the average, hospice care saves between $1,500 and $3,000 per patient in health care expenses during the last 3 months of life. The rapid growth of hospital costs since 1989 have made the rate of cost savings even higher.
Hospice care can also decrease absentee related costs to employers of individuals who have to care for their loved ones. Through the support and services of the hospice team, family members are more likely to be able to work with fewer interruptions. Their focus and concentration at work can be of more quality than if hospice were not involved, because of the emotional and spiritual support and care received by hospice. Hospice can also benefit the health care providers. Some health care providers are not well trained to deal with terminal illness and death. Hospitals are designed primarily to cure patients, not to help them through the social and emotional aspects of dying. Hospices with accredited and certified hospice programs provide a resource to which health care providers can refer patients with confidence.
The community at large can also benefit from hospice. Many hospice organizations provide education and support to the public in general about dealing with death and dying, grief and loss.
By learning about hospice, I think more families should take notice of hospice services and realize that accepting hospice care is not an acceptance of a death sentence, but rather a way to live with less stress for the patient and themselves. The patients and families served by hospice will attest to this and it is to them I dedicate my thoughts.
Stein Hospice's motto says it best: "It is not about giving up, it is about living until you die".

Re-booting TNG For TV?

Re: Re-booting TNG For TV?
nuBSG's ratings are no great shakes compared with the sf/f cop shows SyFy has had great success with, that are also almost certainly cheaper to produce. So from their perspective, space opera is not terribly attractive. They might launch another one someday (I'm rooting for RHW), if only out of a sense that they might be leaving a significant market unserved (they are).
ENT's ratings started out disappointing and sunk ever after (I remember that like it was yesterday) and even if that hadn't been the case, UPN has been replaced by the CW, whose female-skewing audience strategy leaves no room for space opera (tho there's been at least one rumored space opera in development from them, which never made it to pilot stage.) So that channel is effectively closed off to space opera. I'd be mildly surprised to see even genuine sci fi from the CW, as opposed to vampires and ghosts.
Who else might be a candidate? I keep hoping HBO or Showtime would be daring enough to try a space opera in the premium cable style. But I can see why a myriad of other topics would be more attractive.
Star Trek
becomes an animated series, TNG isn't the most likely topic. By far the most likely is a spinoff of JJ Abrams' movies. That way you get the huge PR boost of a currently running movie series, and you can use Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto et al's characters without worrying whether you can afford the actors or fit into their schedules (although they'd be wise to get Quinto at least - his voice being the most unique and hard to replicate, and he still does TV).
The animation and story style would most likely look to
The Clone Wars
as a template - appeals to kids and grownups, with the same CGI look, which may be a bit much to get used to, but it does allow the characters to integrate well with very beautiful CGI planets, spaceships, etc. The show would almost certainly run on The Cartoon Network, where there's already a space-opera-cartoon audience watching
. In other words, don't assume this series would be for
Star Trek
fans. It might be made for sci fi cartoon fans in general.
It makes far more sense to create series that appeal to a channel's existing audience, who are easy to advertise to, and are used to watching shows in a certain timeslot. Make the new show and put it in the timeslot they're used to, or just after a compatible show they're already watching (depending on whether
is still airing when the theoretical
Star Trek
show is ready to go.)
If you made a TNG series, how do you reach TNG fans? Where are they? What do they watch now? Do they even still care about
Star Trek
? Would a cartoon appeal to them, or would they automatically dismiss it as kid stuff? That's a whole lot of "if"s to get through, to get to a success, vs the far more obvious route of "make a new series that appeals to the existing

July 1 (Bloomberg)-- Nigerian security forces killed at least three gunmen suspected of belonging to the Islamic militant sect Boko Haram during a gunfight yesterday in the northeastern state of Yobe, police said.
"There was an exchange of gunshots between security operatives and suspected members of the Boko Haram, and three of them were shot dead during the attack," Patrick Egbuniwe, the Yobe state police commissioner, said by phone today from Damaturu, the capital. Calm has returned to the town after police recovered some arms from the area, Egbuniwe said.
Authorities in Nigeria, Africa's top oil producer, blame Boko Haram, which wants to impose strict Islamic law in the country, for attacks in the mainly Muslim north and Abuja that have killed hundreds of people this year.
Boko Haram began its violent campaign in 2009 in Africa's most populous nation, which is roughly split between a mainly Muslim north and predominantly Christian south.

When you're ready to make your office even more productive, a durable multifunction printer can make all the difference. Samsung printers and scanners are one of the best ways to merge multiple office electronics into a single device, keeping your office functions centralized in a compact space. Below are some ideas on how using a Samsung printer can complete your office and boost your productivity.
Fast printing: Samsung laser printers can produce more pages per minute than regular inkjet printers. If you find yourself printing a lot during the day, you can consolidate precious waiting time by choosing a quick and efficient Samsung printer that prints as fast as 30 pages per minute.
Scanning and faxing: Separate scanners and faxes require their own maintenance, space and network connections. It makes more sense to centralize fax and scanning functions with multifunction Samsung printers. You can scan, copy, print and fax from the same machine. Having one device also simplifies usability, since you only need to learn the software and controls for one printer.
Reduced cost-per-page: Having a single device means you only have to worry about toner and paper compatibility with one device. Using Samsung printers allows you to maintain and supply a single machine rather than several. Samsung laser printers also have lower-per-page printing costs.
Print without a computer: Samsung printers have multiple connectivity options, allowing you to print documents directly from a USB drive, memory card or other media device. You can even adjust print settings directly from the control panel.
Networked printing: If you have a home network or wireless network, you can simply connect your Samsung printer with an Ethernet cable and use it with any device connected to the network. Many Samsung printers even feature wireless and Bluetooth capability.

26 year old man | Miami, FL, USA | Seeking women 20-26 within 30 miles
What will define me is the strength of my character and the depth of my ambition.
Who am I? What am I? Why am I on here? Who am I looking for? What is it that makes me different than every other guy on the website? Instead of going with the cliché profile, Im going to try something most people don't do... Be honest.. After reading my whole profile, you still wont come close to knowing who I am.. But its a start :)... Im a funny guy that loves to crack jokes and make people laugh and feel comfortable but at the same time I'm very serious about life. I am very driven and passionate about my goals and dreams. Success is the only option in my life. I need someone with the same mentality. Im looking for a young woman, not a girl. I can be a clown at times but will climb mountains for the people I care about. I have a very unique personality. People love me but very few understand me. I believe that the way I think about life sets me apart from the typical guy. I am nothing close to the typical Miami guy. I have goals, and ambitions, Im driven and focused but at the same time I'm very chill and down to earth and understanding. I can keep a conversation alive and interesting for hours. I know allot about a few things and little about allot of things. I can also be a great listener. Im on Match because I want to try another avenue to meet people with substance. I have a few close friends and many acquaintances. My priorities don't give me enough time to go out and meet new people often. I am in no rush. I want to meet someone and get to know them well. Anything that's rushed never ends well. Ive been in Miami my whole life, so yes I have gone through the clubbing party party party, the spend every weekend at the beach, the lets get drunk and not think about tomorrow phase, but something happened a little while ago ... I grew up. Now a days I enjoy relaxing at home, lounging every once in a while, going to the beach in moderation. I love movies, games, out doors , sports, television series etc ( In love with game of Thrones ). .. My current focus is split between a few priorities though I approach each one at 100 percent intensity. Im currently a Financial Advisor for an Investment Firm. Been working in the industry for about seven years. One of my greatest accomplishments has been to receive an award directly from Jaime Diamond ( CEO of JP Morgan ). Thanks to hard work and dedication, I've been able to graduate from college and set myself up early in life for success. I love what I do and am passionate about career progression. My two main hobbies are competitive paintball and bodybuilding. I compete in both. Thanks to paintball I've been able to travel all over the US for national competitions. Im currently prepping for a bodybuilding competition for August of this year. Competing keeps me motivated and focused at the goal at hand. Thats my philosophy in life. " Set a goal then accomplish it.. Then repeat" . I choose not to post half naked pics on here ( Have to leave something to the imagination lol ) ... Just know Im in competition shape. Im looking for a young lady who is passionate about life. Im looking for a few traits that are rare in people now a days. LOYALTY, COMMITMENT, HONESTY, AND RESPECT.. Those are the building blocks for any successful relationship. Physical Attraction is a factor but whats really important is personality. We have to click, we have to have an understanding of who we are. No one is perfect. Everyone has flaws. The trick is finding someone who accepts you for who you are and gives you the drive to want to be a the best you as possible and vise versa. Message me.. Lets talk :)

[Taylor] met his future wife in Burgos at supper one night, and that was it!
Great as an hors d'oeuvre with a glass of wine, or for supper with a big arugula salad.
I first met Whitney in 1983, when I went to hear her mother, Cissy Houston, sing at a supper club in Manhattan.
late 13c., "the last meal of the day," from Old French super "supper," noun use of super "to eat the evening meal," which is of Germanic origin (see sup (v.1)).
Formerly, the last of the three meals of the day (breakfast, dinner, and supper); now applied to the last substantial meal of the day when dinner is taken in the middle of the day, or to a late meal following an early evening dinner. Supper is usually a less formal meal than late dinner. [OED]Applied since c.1300 to the last meal of Christ.
noun phrase
A superhighway; an interstate highway (1970s+ Truckers)
the principal meal of the day among the Jews. It was partaken of in the early part of the evening (Mark 6:21; John 12:2; 1 Cor. 11:21). (See LORD'S SUPPER.)

The Trickster was the main villain on the old TV show and was played by Mark Hamill. He was the best thing about the series in the eyes of many viewers and the element I remember the most after more than twenty years. I don't know if the Flash series is available for streaming on Netflix or is accessible on YouTube but I'd check it out if you ever get a chance.

Reviewed By David S (LITCHFIELD, OH) Reviewed for a 2008 Chevy Silverado —4/13/2015 8:38 PM
My 08 silverado was going thru about a quart of oil every 1500 miles I noticed that while on the highway when the motor had been in 4 cylinder mode for a while and the engine shifted to 8 mode I would get a puff of smoke behind the vehicle. Since installing the Range it stays in 8 mode and no more burning. 1/2 quart last oil change. Mileage on the highway dropped to around 17 to 18 but I'm not looking at costly repairs in the future. Thanks Range and thanks to Auto Anything for a great price.

Floresta Elementary hosts Title I Family Night "Bingo for Books"
PORT ST. LUCIE - Floresta Elementary hosted its Title I Family Night "Bingo for Books" in the school's cafeteria Jan. 10.
Parents and students who arrived early were awarded two free Bingo cards and a free snack ticket. Additional Bingo cards were available for purchase throughout the evening for 50 cents or three for $1. Floresta's very supportive PTO provided snacks for a small fee.
Distinguished guest and "official caller" was our very own District Superintendent, Mr. Michael Lannon. Winners were awarded prizes of books and a variety of other educational materials.
For a portion of the evening, fourth-grade teachers Elish Mancuso and Sandy Pagliughi presented important information to families about the upcoming FCAT Writes writing assessment and offered suggestions about what families can do at home to better prepare and support their child's success on this statewide test.

I have a strange problem I do not understand. I hope someone will put me right.
I took a MacBook Air running Snowleopard to Bulgaria for a presentaion, and linked it to a borrowed video projector. The first day went fine, but on the second the Mac and the projector would not speak to each other, except in the strangest way!
With the screen size setting on the Mac the projector showed a similar screen setting page, but with less options and no pointer.
With any other screen on the Mac the projector showed the basic Mac desk top, even when the mac was showing the nice new Snow Leopard!
I had to complete the presentation using a borrowed Windows machine which worked perfectly with the projector - which did not please me
I do not remember altering anything significant between the first day when all was well and the second when it all went pear-shaped.
Help please - what can I do before next time so I can show off my nice Snow Leopard and not have to seek PC help

The next step is to set the MacBook Air to output video to the projector in "Mirror" mode. If you don't use mirror mode you'll wind up with a confusing picture of part of your desktop. Sounds like that's what happened to you.
And yes, some Windows notebooks handle external displays better than a Mac.

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/880,076, filed Jun. 29, 2004, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/805,113, filed Mar. 14, 2001, which issued on Jun. 29, 2004 as U.S. Pat. No. 6,757,567, which are incorporated by reference as if fully set forth.
The present invention relates to control systems for cycles and has been developed with particular attention paid to the possible application to competition bicycles. In any case, the reference to this possible application, and in particular the reference to the application to racing bicycles, must not be interpreted as limiting the possible field of application of the invention.
Over the last few years there has developed, in the cycle sector, the tendency to use sensors of various nature so as to be able to acquire information regarding the conditions of use/behaviour of the means, the aim being to be able to intervene through actuators of various nature to modify—according to certain criteria, and acting both in an automatic way and according to specific commands issued by the user, the conditions of use/behaviour of the means, in particular as regards its set.
This tendency is expressed in the direction of a continuous increase in the quantity of data picked up and processed, which results in the need to have available increasingly more sophisticated and articulated systems, these being systems which, since they have to be mounted on board the cycle, must not adversely affect the performance of the latter, in particular in terms of weight, overall dimensions, and consumption of electrical energy.
The purpose of the present invention is to meet the ever more demanding needs felt in the sector, overcoming the drawbacks outlined above.
According to the present invention, this purpose is achieved thanks to a system having the characteristics specifically called for in the claims which follow.
In brief, the system according to the invention is based on a multiprocessor electronic structure for controlling and managing operation of a cycle, such as a competition bicycle.
The solution according to the invention is based upon the identification of functional areas to be modularized, with the aim of arriving at an integrated control system for controlling the functions of the cycle and for monitoring the set of the cycle during use, also to obtain an improvement in the overall performance of the system made up of the cycle and its user. In particular, the architecture deriving from the modularization in functional units enables a careful evaluation of the signal-propagation timing to be made in the framework of the system, at the same time achieving a reduction in the number of connections.
The invention will now be described, purely by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
The system according to the invention, designated as a whole by 1, is made up of a set of functional blocks interconnected at the level of communication channels. The aforesaid functional blocks may be located in an optimized way on a cycle, such as a racing bicycle, as will be described in greater detail in what follows with reference to
In general terms, the system 1 basically comprises the following functional blocks:
a first block 10, designed to function as a display and management interface of the system;
a second block 20, designed to function as an interface and module for managing the requests made by the user, both in relation to execution of commands issued by the user himself and as regards the variation in set, state and/or various functional parameters of the cycle, as well as in terms of the possible activation of particular operating modes (for instance, for training sessions, etc.); the block 20 can also perform the function of sorting communications from and to the various other functional blocks of the system; and
a third block 30, designed to perform the task of controlling specific functions, for instance controlling servo members and/or exchanging communications through a local radio network (for example a network of the type currently known as Wireless Local Area Network—WLAN).
From a more detailed examination of the structure of the blocks in question, it may be noted that the block 10 usually encloses within it a main processor 101, to which one or more control push-buttons 102 are associated, as well as a display unit 103.
As may be better seen in the representation of
The block 20 comprises, as its main element, a processor 201 for managing the communications, with associated thereto a serial control unit 202. The same block 20 further preferably incorporates a circuit 203 for managing inputs, which may be connected, for example, to one or more control push-buttons 28, 29 located on the handlebars of the cycle (see again
The reference 205 designates one or more possible sensors connected to the circuit 203. These sensors may, for instance, be slope sensors, altitude sensors, temperature sensors, etc. Sensors of this type are known in the prior art, and consequently do not need to be described in a detailed way herein.
In this connection, it should be noted that the present invention mainly regards the overall architecture of the system 1, its organization in blocks, and the modalities adopted for co-coordinating communication and interaction between the various blocks. The present detailed description hence relates primarily to these aspects and is not extended—for evident reasons of brevity—to individual elements, which are to be deemed as a whole known.
Passing on now to an examination of the block 30, the reference 31 designates a processor designed to perform primarily the function of controlling actuators, such as the actuators 38, 39, which will be described in what follows. The reference number 32 designates a further processor designed to carry out functions of controlling a local radio network of the WLAN type, designated as a whole by 320, to which one or more sensors 41, . . . , 4 k, . . . , 4 n are connected, each of which carries, associated to it, a respective communication interface 410, . . . , 4 k 0, . . . , 4 n 0, for example of the type currently referred to as Wireless Peripheral Unit (WPU).
The number n of the sensors in question (consisting, for example, of sensors of pedal speed, pedal cadence, and pedal effort, user heart rate, etc.), as well as the number of the corresponding interfaces, may be any whatsoever.
One of the most interesting characteristics of the solution according to the invention is, in fact, precisely that of offering a very high degree of elasticity in the choice of the number and/or characteristics of the sensors associated to the system 1.
The block 30 is preferably configured in such a way as to be able to receive also the signals coming from other sensors or transducers, such as a transducer 36 which detects the position of the crankwheels fixed to the crankset, or a sensor 37 consisting of a transducer that is able to detect the movement of the cycle chain.
Also as regards these sensors/transducers—designed to be connected to the block 30 by means of respective physical lines, designated by 360 and 370—see what has already been said previously regarding the various sensors comprised in the WLAN network 320.
The control processor 31 interacts—according to modalities that are basically dual with respect to the ones seen previously in relation to the various sensors 41, . . . , 4 k, . . . , 4 n and 36, 37—also with various actuators, such as the actuators designated by 38 and 39. These are, for instance, actuators associated to the front derailleur and to the rear derailleur in order to control the cycle gear-shift function.
As in the case of the sensors 36 and 37, the communication with the actuators 38 and 39 takes place by means of respective physical lines 380, 390. To these lines there may be advantageously associated feedback lines 381, 391, through which, for example, the actuators 38 and 39 indicate to the processor 31 their own effective position or state of operation.
It is therefore evident that, as in the case of the sensors connected to the network 320, the number and nature of the sensors 36 and 37, as well as the number and nature of the actuators, such as the actuators 38, 39, may be any whatsoever. Also as regards the modalities of communication, it is possible to envisage the insertion of one or more actuators within the wireless network 320.
As regards the arrangement of the blocks 10 and 20, as well as the control buttons 28 and 29, these have already been described previously.
The block 30 may advantageously be set in a position immediately below the bottle-cage so as to locate it in a position that is generically central with respect to the various sensors 41, 42, 43, etc., served by the network 320. In this connection, it will be appreciated that, purely by way of example, there are represented in
The sensor 36 is evidently located in a position corresponding to the crankset, preferably in a position corresponding to the bottom bracket, whilst the sensor 37 is illustrated as being located in a position corresponding to the rear derailleur, so that it will be able to detect movement of the chain. The actuator 38 is here represented in the form of an actuator controlling gear shift.
The reference numbers 50, 50A, 50B are intended to exemplify the presence, on the cycle, of power-supply sources, such as batteries, with the possible arrangement of generators for recharging the said batteries. It should moreover be said that the presence of these generators proves more often than not altogether superfluous, given that the system according to the invention is advantageously suited to being supplied by means of small-sized batteries (for example, watch batteries), having long battery-life times.
It is altogether evident that the representation of
The amount of information linked to achieving the functions described leads to the adoption, for the communication and processing of the data within the system 1, of certain techniques deemed preferential.
Connection between the various modules, and in particular between the blocks 10, 20 and 30, is preferably made according to criteria of bi-directionality, preferably using serial formats. This applies in particular as regards the communication line 12, which connects the blocks 10 and 20, and the communication line 23, which connects the blocks 20 and 30.
The above mode of connection enables transmission of the data in such a way as to reduce as far as possible the number of connections, for example, avoiding a direct connection between the block 10 and the block 30.
The block 10, which is designed to function essentially as a block for managing the system (with functions basically resembling those of a so-called "cycling computer"), is made, as has been said, in such a way as to be preferably removable from the cycle, with the consequent possibility of detection of insertion or removal both by the block 10 itself and by the block 20, with which the block 10 interacts.
In addition, recourse to bi-directional communications, at least for the most important information flows, makes it possible to give clear priority in each flow of information to the information that is deemed of higher importance, moreover guaranteeing the predictability of the communications. Furthermore, the system (and in particular the block 30) is able to monitor properly the state of operation of the power-supply sources, whether these are batteries or generators.
In addition, the system is able to optimize power consumption. This occurs preferably according to the criteria described in detail in two patent applications for industrial inventions, namely Italian Patent Application Nos. TO2000A00296 and TO2000A0292, filed 29 Mar. 2000 and assigned to Campagnolo S.r.l., which are incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth. In this connection, it will be appreciated that the block 20 is preferably associated to an element (bracket or the like) which enables removable installation of the block 10. This mode of installation facilitates also communication of the block with the push-buttons 28 and 29, implemented preferably via lines that can be incorporated in the handlebars.
The above arrangement also enables the physical connection of the block 20 with the block 30 fixed preferably in a container which is located, as has already been said, underneath the bottle-cage.
The block diagram of
As may be seen from the diagram of
From an examination first of the line 12 which connects the block 10 to the block 20, it may be noted that this line usually comprises, in addition to a ground wire 86, two other wires designated by the reference numbers 84 and 85. The latter two wires or lines are designed to enable, respectively, transmission from the block 10 to the block 20, and transmission from the block 20 to the block 10.
Preferably, the wires 84 and 85 carry, associated to them, on the receiving end of the respective connection, a resistor 10R, 20R1, respectively, set between the wire itself and ground. The aforesaid resistors make it possible to evaluate whether there exists the physical connection between the blocks concerned by evaluating the logic state of the reception signal Rx. If the signal permanently has a logic value "0", this means that nobody is driving the corresponding connection, which represents an indication of absence of connection. In the normal connection condition, the reception signal is kept, at least temporarily, at a high logic level (i.e., at the logic value "1") by the transmission signal Tx.
A substantially similar arrangement is adopted as regards the line 23, which connects the block 20 to the block 30.
In this case, the ground line is designated by the reference number 83, whilst the two wires that enable transmission from the block 20 to the block 30 and from the block 30 to the block 20 are respectively designated by 81 and 82.
Also the latter two wires 81 and 82 carry, associated to them, on the respective receiving ends, resistors 20R2 and 30R, respectively, which are designed to enable evaluation of the existence of physical connection.
The block 20, which basically has the function of a communication unit, is mainly entrusted with the task of:
verifying that the system 1 is utilizable, in the sense that all the functional blocks 10, 20 and 30 are present and connected together; for example, removal of the block 10, which has the function of a display unit, is detected in the way just described, i.e., as a result of the removal of the resistor 10R, whereby the block 20 intervenes on the system 1 inhibiting complete functionality of the latter, or, at least, as regards the functions linked to the presence of the block 10;
cyclically polling the control unit 32 of the network 320 to enable updating of the information and transfer thereof (after possible processing) to the block 10;
processing the requests corresponding to the commands issued, for example via the push-buttons 28, 29 (it will be noted that these push-buttons, which are connected to the block 20, are not reproduced in
The activity of the block 20 is governed by the criterion of reducing the times for activation of the resources in order to reduce power consumption.
The information traveling from the block 30 to the block 20 originates from the two functional blocks 31 and 32 already referred to previously.
The block 31 (which is essentially entrusted with the function of interacting with the actuators, such as the actuators 38 and 39) reacts only if its is involved by a request coming from the unit 20; namely, only if there is an actuation command.
In a symmetrical way, the block 32, which is entrusted with management of the network 320, if enabled by a signal sent from the controller 31 on a line 35, cyclically transfers the information coming from the network 320 to the communication unit 20.
Preferably used for this purpose are a protocol and a physical interface which, in addition to using the signals traveling on the lines 81 and 82 for enabling an asynchronous bi-directional communication between the blocks 20 and 30, also use the signal available on a further line 89, which is driven by the processor 201, with the task of arousing the processor 31 configured as a slave. The signal present on the line 35 and generated by the processor 31 has the function of releasing the signal present on the line 82 in order to control the processor 32, which in this case acts as a slave.
Consequently, in normal operating conditions the information originates from the processor 32 and is transferred to the unit 20. If a request needs to be sent from the block 20 to the processor 31, this occurs according to the sequence described below:
the control of the signal present on the line 82 by the processor 32 is re-enabled via the enabling level of the signal 35 by the processor 31;
Again in the context of the communication line 23, the presence of a wire 90 may be noted, which is designed to enable delivery of the supply voltage from the block 30 (connected to which are usually the power-supply sources 50, 50A, 50B) to the block 20. Since the block 10 must be supplied even when it is removed from the system, it has available a power-supply source 10B to its own.
Communication between the block 30 and the block 20 preferably takes place at a pre-defined baud-rate and according to byte frames. A type of frame is generated by the processor 32 to the processor 201; another type of frame involves the processor 31 and the processor 201.
Since the communication is bi-directional, for each one of the two main types of frame there exist specific sub-types for different situations.
Usually the structure of the frames concerned comprises a header byte, which makes it possible to identify the source (processor 31, processor 32, processor 201, etc.) that is transmitting the information and the specific format of the frame:
There then follow specific data fields for each of the types of frame involved in the transmission. A final control byte is then provided for verification of the successful outcome of the communication.
A few examples of communication frames are represented in
In all the above figures, the reference H designates the header byte, whilst the reference CK designates the final control byte.
In a specific way,
For example,
In the aforesaid frame, a first field C1 can be used for indicating the number of pulses generated by the speed sensor and/or the value of the mean period of these pulses on a pre-defined time base. A second field C2 can be used for transmitting the number of pulses generated by a sensor, such as the pedal-cadence sensor, and/or the value of the mean period on a definite time base.
A substantially similar structure is represented in
In this case, the field C5 is designed to transmit state information, whilst the field C6 conveys the information regarding the position of the rear derailleur and/or the position of the front derailleur. The fields C7 and C8 can be used for providing indications on the height of the position of the rear derailleur and height of the position of the front derailleur.
Preferably, each of the bytes included in the frames represented in
Of course, without prejudice to the principle of the invention, the details of construction and the embodiments may vary widely with respect to what is described and illustrated herein, without thereby departing from the scope of the present invention.

text: OMFG.. Ok so I have all the ios setup as from mauifrog's softmod guide. My wiiflow has been using my wbfs formatted hdd perfectly with no problems except some loading freezes here and there. I decided to follow this guide "which is really well setup by the way" and formatted my hdd to fat32 with guiformat.exe. So when I started up wiiflow I went into the settings and changed it to load off of fat32 and all the games loaded up on the list. My wiiflow is running under 250 (57) v20 btw. So now I have the same freeze problems here and there but A LOT of games are not working. One, SSBB wouldnt xfer over to fat32 from the wbfs format, I had to reinstall it via wiiflow when setup with fat32. THEN SSBB will not load at all (if I click start it acts like its loading then goes back to selecting to start it or go back to other games over and over). Two, there are some games that are crashing on loading and just dumping and rebooting. So I have been talking with shift_lock which is a really cool guy btw and decided to try out cfg. Well my 249 slot is r17 so I set to load off of 222. CFG Loader wont even load the hdd and then I tried 249 just for the hell of it and it loaded the view of all the games but none of them will start (of course). Tried 222 on my wiiflow and the same problem it wont load the hdd. I reinstalled 222 (38) and still same problem. My question to Krank is what 249 cios is he using. cios249 base 38, base 57? lol what. Cause if it was 57 then my 250 slot should of worked fine according to the guide. The only thing left I have to try is changing 249 r17 to r21 and trying that and see about moving r17 to another slot for might channels "r17 works best for mighty channels imo". Anyways I thought you guys would think this was interesting. If 249 r21 causes the same problems that my 250 slot is causing right now I am going to just reformat to wbfs since I had no problems with it.

Pedal problem
Questions about purchasing bicycles and parts
Pedal problem
Hi All,
I have PD-M520 pedals on my commuter. I also have a bunch of kids to take to school in the morning. Putting on bike shoes feels like way overkill to ride 600m to school with the kids, so I was looking for a platform type clip on thingy so I can ride the short hop in thongs or runners. I don't even know what to call them to google them but I'm sure I have seen a plastic platform that works this way.
Does anybody have some or know where I can get them?
Thanx in advance, Dan
Re: Pedal problem
The plastic inserts break easily anyway, they're supposed to be used by the LBS to let people take bikes for test rides.
Just use your biking shoes.
Velcro straps or ratchet style shoes make it quick and easy to do.
But I'm sure if you went down to the bike shop, eventually they will have a set to give to you.
Re: Pedal problem
Thanx Kenzo, I didn't realise they were disposable. Is there anything else out there a bit more substantial that will do the same thing?
Thanx Dan
Re: Pedal problem
Perhaps you could look at the A530? Flat pedal on one side, SPD on the other:
Re: Pedal problem
Wouldn't that mean a change of riding shoes?
Re: Pedal problem
Nope. M520's are SPD, as are the 530's.
MY RIDES: My Velospace Profile
Re: Pedal problem
I was just coming back to correct myself.
Re: Pedal problem
In a way, yes, it will.
Using a cleated shoe on the flat pedal is as dangerous and annoying as using 'normal' shoes or sandals on clip in pedals.
I've tried these hald and half pedals before, they are more a pain than they are a solution.
Seeing as you suggested thongs or runners, you may be better off just getting some SPD sandals
http://www.amazon.com/Shimano-SD65-Cycl ... 00&sr=1-13
These would also come in handy if riding in the rain in summer... or just bike path riding with the kids on their bikes to get an icecream...
Re: Pedal problem
Really? I have had a Shimano M324 ( http://www.wiggle.co.uk/shimano-m324-co ... on-pedals/ ) pedal on my bikes for years. I love them. I even moved them onto the new road bike so i can still ride up to the shops with a back pack if needed.
Re: Pedal problem
I put a set of these on my commuter bike.
Ugly looking things but they work well and are fairly cheap. I've ridden them a few times wearing runners or work boots to ride to the pub or shops and while you can feel the mechanism on the bottom of your foot they are by no means uncomfortable.
Re: Pedal problem
And remove my fun? How dare you!
I dont think the talk is of using cleated shoes on flat pedals. If they're double sided, cleats for the cleated shoes, flats for the regular shoes. Doesnt take much to flip them over with a toe.
SPD sandals? To borrow the Most Interesting Man In The World...
MY RIDES: My Velospace Profile
Re: Pedal problem
My son has the Shimano PD-A520 on his road bike which are SPD, however with the platform around the mechanism he often rides in runners if only going a couple of km... any further and he uses his bike shoes. I've tried them as well on test rides after working on his bike. While you can feel the mechanism under your foot it actually provided grip while the platform provides good support.
Re: Pedal problem
With pedals either get double sided clipless (eg spd's) or good flats. The compromise pedals are just that. IMHO. If you must then the double sided "caged" pedals but you feet can slip off with normal shoes.
In the OP's case the best solution would be a good set of flats and and a new "school commuter" bike. Possibly steel and single speed.
Re: Pedal problem
Thanx for all the help everybody. I guess the clip on platform ain't the answer. I suppose I thought that would be the simplest way to go. Don't really want to change to a single sided pedal for commuting. I like not having to think
When starting from stand still.
Re: Pedal problem
Is that your Xray Dandy?
Re: Pedal problem
I think you just found a reason to buy another bike
Our Website is: http://www.pro-liteoz.com Find us on Facebook by searching for "Pro-Lite Australia"
Re: Pedal problem
No not my xray. That is obviously a Lady.
Would love a good reason for another bike but that's a tough sell to my loved one.
"Darl, I have to buy another bike. The pedals are all wrong on this one."
"Buy another bike honey and I'll shove both your feet up your bum. It won't need pedals!"
Re: Pedal problem
Clearly she needs to learning the equation, N = x + 1, where 'N' is the number of bikes you need and 'x' is the number you currently have.

Re: Pedal problem
Ha! The number of bikes is the problem. I was hoping the clip on thingys might meet a need without adding to the mess in the yard. Currently 6 bikes and a tagalong and 3 scooters. The last hard rubbish collection yielded a dog walker MTB and 2 kids bikes to be cannabalised for a kayak trolley.
Re: Pedal problem
Keen Commuter sandals are very cool (but also very narrow). I got mine for $130 (delivered) from Oregon Mountain Community and they fit me fine. Quite comfy to walk about all day in too Cheaper than a new bike.
Also I have known people who have made good use of the plastic pedal inserts. Fitted with reflectors, they seem to be intended for ongoing use

Re: Pedal problem
So tempted to try these but the width issue is a worry, what size are you Pete?
Regular fit and remove will chew the plastic "cleat" to bits very quickly

Re: Pedal problem
I'm a size 43 (Eur), 9.5 (Aus). The width is the thing, I have narrow feet - don't know the actual width measure but my digital micrometer tells me the right foot is 96.3mm wide Pretty sure that's gonna be down in the bottom decile.

Re: Pedal problem
Thanks Pete. I'm a 43-44 depending on brand. Quick and dirty ruler check says around 100mm, hmmm. Lotta coin to splash if they're no good and I won't try on at a dealer and order online.

Re: Pedal problem
Yep I have a pair for look cleats but haven't seen any others in years - they are a platform with toe clips and a cleat on the bottom - will dig them out & post a photo.
Bit of a PITA to fit but they do the job. I was considering swapping to something like the shimano PD-M424, but it seems to be against the recomendations

This Subsidy 'War'
I Am yet to know any other African country which is as blessed with both natural and human resources as Nigeria. Yet, of all the resources that have pleased nature to put beneath the nation's belly, oil, or the black gold as it is also known, is the most explored and exploited. In fact, one of the country's past leaders was reported to have once remarked that " Nigeria was too rich; the problem (then) was how to spend the money". That was the era of oil boom which has now turned to oil doom.
Oil has thrown up new sets of nouveaux rich, mostly very young Nigerians of both sexes with majority of them in their early 30s or 40s. A good number of these young people become rich without lifting a finger. All it takes is to have a privileged background where you can walk your way to those at the top who will in turn make things happen. It could be in form of oil blocs or other juicy contracts which are heavily padded to give a wide margin for incredible profits.
In every hamlet in the South-south geo-political zone of the country, bunkering of petroleum products is daily carried out all over the creeks with reckless abandon. Those engaged in these nefarious acts have formed different cartels through which the nation's resources are cornered. They do this with 'security' provided by their heavily armed militias in connivance with security agents, operating or deplored as task force in the area. The atrocities are well known but nobody cares.
The rat race to make money in Nigeria today has thrown up many challenges in the country. While those engaged in bunkering are having a field day, another group of Shylock businessmen make cool money through oil subsidy which the government gives out to fuel importers. As a result, many people whose lines of business have nothing to do with importation of fuel in the first instance have become fuel importers. The major attraction is not the business per se but the illicit money they make from oil subsidy.
Making money in this manner is a flourishing racket involving those licensed to import fuel and officials of some strategic agencies under the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). They collaborate to swindle the country of huge sums of money every year. Those engaged in these wholesale fraudulent activities have, over the years, devised many ingenious ways to beat the government to the game. With godfathers all over the place and stupendous wealth in their kitty, the racketeers have succeeded in holding the country to ransom for quite a long time. By the way, what will government do to the culprits?
Now the world economy is almost in another recession. Europe and other trade partners of Nigeria are sweating it out, trying to keep afloat in spite of the bad economic climate. In short, the global market is in turmoil. The argument Lamido Sanusi, the Central Bank's governor, has been putting forward is that if the country must survive, then we have to do away with oil subsidy and put the few privileged people milking the nation dry out of business.
At a hurriedly convened 'Town Hall' meeting held last month in Lagos, which bore the full imprimatur of an arrangee affair, Sanusi was emphatic that oil subsidy was the bane of the country's economy. He gave an example where the apex bank sold out foreign exchange worth $8 billion in a particular month to fuel importers and went on to pay another $8 billion as oil subsidy to the same importers. He described the situation as cataclysmic to the economy of the country.
Three groups emerged from the cosmetic meeting: those who believe that subsidy must go at once, those who believe that the subsidy should be gradually phased out, and those who do not believe that subsidy exists in the first place. Those who canvassed for a phased withdrawal of subsidy suggested that palliative measures must be put in place before a final withdrawal of subsidy. Such palliatives include standard roads, good hospitals and an overhaul of the country's education sector, among others.
The 'Town Hall' meeting was held in the midst of the uproar generated by the too many "comfort zones" created by the President in the 2012 budget, which he presented to the National Assembly. In the budget, it was clear that whereas Nigerians were being called upon to make sacrifice in the interest of the country, the country's leaders, especially the Presidency and the office of the Vice President were to continue to enjoy the luxuries of the past.
The intense arguments generated by such things as jumbo food allowances for the President and his deputy as well as other unnecessary perquisites of office that are largely symptomatic of recklessness and callous indifference to the plights of the citizenry had hardly subsided when the government removed oil subsidy on New Year Day. Since then, the nation has not known peace. The price of virtually everything has doubled or tripled. In a country where the minimum wage of N18, 000 is still a big headache for some states to pay, what the increase simply suggests is that many Nigerians will soon become walking corpses; children will be massively withdrawn from schools as the economy bites harder; criminals will mushroom everywhere; and all sorts of potential threats to the security and stability of the nation have actually started manifesting. Once more, the country seems to be tottering on the precipice.
One curious feature of the current wave of protests is that while the government is claiming that the protests are being sponsored by its enemies, the government is also believed to be organising protests against the organized labour and anti-subsidy removal protesters. The late Muamar Gadaffi did it in Libya ; President Assad of Syria is doing it; the late Gen Sani Abacha did it during his dictatorship; and now it is happening again in Nigeria. This is clearly a recipe for anarchy. Pure and simple!
The present spate of strikes and threat of economic collapse could have been avoided if government had sufficiently enlightened the public on the deregulation of the downstream sector of the oil industry. Government's sensitization was grossly inadequate. With the appalling state of infrastructure such as roads, electricity, water supply and the decayed state of education, health and all other essential social services, it is only suicidal for any government to jerk up the price of petrol so astronomically without thinking about the multiplier effect on other economic and social activities.
Nigerians have a genuine reason to be angry with government. This is because, over the years, the resources of the state have been frittered away on mere frivolities. As the living standard of the average Nigerian continues to plummet day in, day out, so also will anger against an uncaring government increase. I am sure that a good number of the state governors who support wholesale removal of fuel subsidy do so because of the volume of money which will be available to steal rather than for the improvement of the lots of the common man.
By pouring to the streets, Nigerians have demonstrated that they have lost faith and confidence in governments at all levels because of their predilection for stealing and misusing the common wealth put in their care. Therefore, with all these crises confronting the nation and the insecurity everywhere, there is the need for the country to reorder its priorities in order to quickly pull itself back from the abyss which it seems to be headed.

Hunter Parrish Reportedly Screen Testing for TRANSFORMERS 4
TRANSFORMERS 4 director Michael Bay has reportedly gotten underway in casting for the upcoming flick. This week, BroadwayWorld reported that Mark Wahlberg had officially signed on in what's being billed as a 'reboot' of the series. And today, The Hollywood Reporter announced that Bay has also begun screen testing actors for the two young male and female leads - including WEEDS and Broadway veteran Hunter Parrish.
According to multiple sources, TRANSFORMERS 4 follows Wahlberg's character and his daughter, as well as her race car driver boyfriend, who Parrish would play if cast.
Up for the male lead aside from Parrish are Luke Grimes (TAKEN 2), Landon Liboiron (TERRA NOVA), Brenton Thwaites (BLUE LAGOON: THE AWAKENING), and Jack Reynor.Those reportedly testing for the female role including Isabelle Cornish and Nicola Peltz (THE LAST AIRBENDER).
Parrish is best known for his role on WEEDS, alongside Mary Louise Parker. He has also appeared on Broadway in both the original revival cast of GODSPELL, and SPRING AWAKENING.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 1/8/13
The Texas Rangers are raising single-game ticket prices again after failing to win a playoff game, losing slugger Josh Hamilton in free agency and trading fan favorite Michael Young. Most of the increases were $1 to $4 per ticket. The team also designated 36 of its 81 home games as more expensive premier games, up from 26 a year ago. After going to the World Series two years in a row, the Rangers lost the AL wild-card game at home against Baltimore last October. Individual ticket prices were announced Tuesday, the same day the team provided an update of renovations being made to Rangers Ballpark. The team for the first time will use dynamic pricing for adult tickets in the upper reserved section that are $19 for non-premier games and $22 for premier games. Those account for nearly 20 percent of the seats in the stadium. Based on market demand and factors such pitching matchups, day of the week and weather, the team could adjust prices higher or lower. The Rangers said more than ...

Change of Colour
Created: 06 Feb 2013
I would like to propose for Symantec to change colour of the days under the "Last 7 days of Backup Jobs"
My reason behind it is that the Yellow is already used for the exclamation mark.
Every time I log in to the interface it instantly alarms me that perhaps there is a problem with a backup job.
I would suggest just to remove the background colour all together and make it BOLD instead.
