WHO finds Indian cities have dirtiest air; Chinese data foggy
Published on May 7, 2014 11:36 PM
GENEVA (REUTERS) – An effort by the World Health Organization to measure pollution in cities around the world has found New Delhi admits to having the dirtiest air, while Beijing's measurements, like its skies, are far from clear.
The study of 1,600 cities found air pollution had worsened since a smaller survey in 2011, especially in poorer countries, putting city-dwellers at higher risk of cancer, stroke and heart disease.
Air pollution killed about 7 million people in 2012, making it the world's single biggest environmental health risk, the WHO, a United Nations agency, said last month.
Thirteen of the dirtiest 20 cities were Indian, with New Delhi, Patna, Gwalior and Raipur in the top four spots.
The Indian capital had an annual average of 153 micrograms of small particulates, known as PM2.5, per cubic metre.
Beijing, notorious for the smog that has prompted some Anglophone residents to dub it "Greyjing", was in 77th place with a PM2.5 reading of 56, little over one-third of Delhi's pollution level.
WHO experts said the Chinese data was from 2010, the most recent year made available to them by China.
But Beijing's city government began publishing hourly PM2.5 data in January 2012.
A year after it started publishing data, Beijing's air quality hit the "worst on record" according to Greenpeace, with a PM2.5 reading as high as 900 on one occasion.
Beijing's government said last month that PM2.5 concentrations stood at a daily average of 89.5 micrograms per cubic metre in 2013, 156 per cent higher than national standards.
Such a reading would put Beijing 17th in the WHO database.

Dell may have just released its first Chromebook, but that doesn't mean it's counting on schools to make the switch to Chrome OS. The company just unveiled another education-focused laptop, and this time it runs good old-fashioned Windows. All told, the new Latitude 13 Education Series is cut from the same cloth as Dell's business-y Latitude line, except it was built to withstand abuse from careless little children. In addition to meeting the military's MIL-STD specification, it sports rubberized edges, a Gorilla Glass screen and a spill-resistant keyboard, along with a hinge that can fold back 180 degrees without snapping. In addition, the 13-inch notebook has a discreet LED indicator at the top of the lid shows internet connectivity -- a handy way of telling if kids did as they were told and took a break from Facebook during class.Given that this was designed to be used by children as young as kindergarteners, the entry specs are, as you'd expect, fairly modest. The Latitude 13 will start at $399 with a Celeron processor and no touchscreen, though you could, if you wanted, add a touch panel and go all the way up to a fourth-generation Core i5 CPU. Other options include 2GB to 8GB of RAM; a regular, hybrid or solid-state drive; and a four- or six-cell battery. What's nice is that even a mid-specced $599 model with a Core i3 processor comes with a generous three-year warranty. And, you don't have to be a school district to get one; there's nothing stopping you from buying one off Dell's site. So, if you're a parent looking for a cheap, durable laptop for junior to play with, this could be a very nice deal indeed.

Thousands of bridges at risk of freak collapse
Monday - 5/27/2013, 5:34am EDT
Associated Press
SEATTLE (AP) -- Thousands of bridges around the U.S. may be one freak accident or mistake away from collapse, even if the spans are deemed structurally sound.
The crossings are kept standing by engineering design, not supported with brute strength or redundant protections like their more modern counterparts. Bridge regulators call the more risky spans "fracture critical," meaning that if a single, vital component of the bridge is compromised, it can crumple.
Those vulnerable crossing carry millions of drivers every day. In Boston, a six-lane highway 1A near Logan airport includes a "fracture critical" bridge over Bennington Street. In northern Chicago, an I-90 pass that goes over Ashland Avenue is in the same category. An I-880 bridge over 5th Avenue in Oakland, Calif., is also on the list.
Also in that category is the Interstate 5 bridge over the Skagit River north of Seattle, which collapsed into the water days ago after officials say an oversized truck load clipped the steel truss.
Public officials have focused in recent years on the desperate need for money to repair thousands of bridges deemed structurally deficient, which typically means a major portion of the bridge is in poor condition or worse. But the bridge that collapsed Thursday is not in that deficient category, highlighting another major problem with the nation's infrastructure: Although it's rare, some bridges deemed to be fine structurally can still be crippled if they are struck hard enough in the wrong spot.
"It probably is a bit of a fluke in that sense," said Charles Roeder, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Washington.
While the I-5 truck's cargo suffered only minimal damage, it left chaos in its wake, with two vehicles catapulting off the edge of the broken bridge into the river below. Three people involved escaped with non-life threatening injuries.
The most famous failure of a fracture critical bridge was the collapse of the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis during rush hour on Aug. 1, 2007, killing 13 people and injuring more than 100 others. The National Transportation Safety Board concluded that the cause of the collapse was an error by the bridge's designers -- a gusset plate, a key component of the bridge, was too thin. The plate was only half of the required one-inch thickness.
Because the bridge's key structures lacked redundancy, where if one piece fails, there is another piece to prevent the bridge from falling, when the gusset plate broke, much of the bridge collapsed.
Mark Rosenker, who was chairman of the NTSB during the I-35W bridge investigation, said the board looked into whether other fracture critical bridges were collapsing. They found a few cases, but not many, he said.
"Today, they're still building fracture critical bridges with the belief that they're not going break," Rosenker said.
Fracture critical bridges, like the I-5 span in Washington, are the result of Congress trying to cut corners to save money rather than a lack of engineering know-how, said Barry B. LePatner, a New York real estate attorney and author of "Too Big to Fall: America's Failing Infrastructure and the Way Forward."
About 18,000 fracture critical bridges were built from the mid-1950s through the late 1970s in an effort to complete the nation's interstate highway system, which was launched under President Dwight Eisenhower, LePatner said in an interview. The fracture critical bridge designs were cheaper than bridges designed with redundancy, he said.
Thousands of those bridges remain in use, according to an AP analysis.
"They have been left hanging with little maintenance for four decades now," he said. "There is little political will and less political leadership to commit the tens of billions of dollars needed" to fix them.
There has been little focus or urgency in specifically replacing the older "fracture critical" crossings, in part because there is a massive backlog of bridge repair work for thousands of bridges deemed to be structurally problematic. Washington state Rep. Judy Clibborn, a Democrat who leads the House transportation committee, has been trying to build support for a tax package to pay for major transportation projects in the state. But her plan wouldn't have done anything to revamp the bridge that collapsed.
National bridge records say the I-5 crossing over the Skagit River had a sufficiency rating of 57.4 out of 100 -- a score designed to gauge the ability of the bridge to remain in service. To qualify for federal replacement funds, a bridge must have a rating of 50 or below. A bridge must have a sufficiency rating of 80 or below to qualify for federal rehabilitation funding.

In The Genius in All of Us Shenk beautifully explains why the nature-nurture debate is dead. It is not just the genes we are born with, but how we are raised and what opportunities are open to us that determine how smart we will become. Nurture and experience reshape our genes, and thus our brain. Shenk argues that the idea we are either born with genius or talent, or we aren't, is simply untrue. The notion that relentless, deliberate practice changes the brain and thus our abilities has been undervalued over the past 30 years in favor of the concept of "innate giftedness." Practice, practice, practice (some say 10,000 hours or more) is what it takes. Shenk argues that it is just some fantasy that effortless, gifted genius is born and not made. He marshals evidence to show that genetic factors do not trump environmental factors but rather work in concert with them. Shenk notes that by the sweat of our brow we can train ourselves to be successful--even if we are born with only average genetic talent. Scientists know that how we are raised and how we are trained affects the expression of our genes. If you think you've reached your talent limit, think again, Shenk says. It's not just in your genes, he says, but in the intensity of your motivation. Ambition, persistence, and self-discipline are not just products of genes, but can be shaped by nurture and environment. Certainly it is important to have good genes, but that determines at most only 50 percent of your talent. He underscores the point that intelligence is made up of the skills that a person has developed--with an emphasis on "developed"--through hard work. Encouraging ourselves and our children to work hard requires being surrounded by others also wanting to achieve striving for excellence. Moreover, Shenk gives the hopeful message not just for kids, but also for adults. Happily for us, the human brain remains plastic, changeable and trainable well into old age. So no matter how old you are, if you'd like to be smarter--get to work! --Louann Brizendine
David Shenk: It is a bold statement, and it reflects how poorly the public has been served when it comes to understanding the relationship between biology and ability. The clichés we've been taught about genetic blueprints, IQ, and "giftedness" all come out of crude, early-20th century guesswork. The reality is so much more interesting and complex. Genes do have a powerful influence on everything we do, but they respond to their environments in all sorts of interesting ways. We've now learned a lot more about the developmental mechanisms that enable people to get really good at stuff. Intelligence and talent turn out to be about process, not about whether you were born with certain "gifts."
Question: In The Genius in All of Us you state that the concept of nature versus nurture is over. Scientists, cognitive psychologists, and geneticists are moving towards an idea of 'interactionism.' What does this mean? If the battle of genes versus environment is over, who has won? Which is more important?
David Shenk: They both won, because they're both vitally important. But the new science shows us that they do not act separately. Declaring that a person gets X-percent of his/her intelligence from genes and Y-percent from the environment is like saying that X-percent of Shakespeare's greatness can be found in his verbs, and Y-percent in his adjectives. There is no nature vs. nurture, or nature plus nurture; instead, it's nature interacting with nurture, which is often expressed by scientists as "GxE" (genes times intelligence). This is what "interactionism" refers to. A vanguard of geneticists, neuroscientists, and psychologists have stepped forward in recent years to articulate the importance of the dynamic interaction between genes and the environment.
Question: You describe genes and environment as a sound board. How so?
David Shenk: In the past, we've been taught that each distinct gene contains a certain dossier of information, which in turn determines a certain trait; if you have the blue-eyed gene, you get blue eyes. Period.
It turns out, though, that the information contained inside genes is only part of the story; another critical part is how often genes get "expressed," or turned on, by other genes and by outside forces. It's therefore helpful to think of your genome as a giant mixing board with thousands of knobs and switches. Genes are always getting turned on/off/up/down by hormones, nutrients, etc. People actually affect their own genome's behavior with their actions.
Question: How do these new findings affect the concept of the "The Bell Curve"--that we live in an increasingly stratified world where the "cognitive elite," those with the best genes, are more and more isolated from the cognitive/genetic underclass? Is that idea now completely obsolete?
David Shenk: Yes, it is obsolete. The idea that there is a genetic super-class that has a corner on high-IQ genes is nonsense. This comes out of a profound misunderstanding of how genes work and how intelligence works, and also from a misreading of so-called "heritability" studies. I am not saying that genes don't affect intelligence. Genes affect everything. But by and large I think the evidence shows that people with low intelligence are missing out on key developmental advantages.
Question: Lewis Terman invented the IQ test at Stanford University in 1916. He declared it the ideal tool to determine a person's native intelligence. Are IQ tests accurate? What are the benefits and fallout of the IQ test?
David Shenk: IQ tests accurately rank academic achievement. That's quite different from identifying innate intelligence, which doesn't really exist. Tufts intelligence expert Robert Sternberg explains that "intelligence represents a set of competencies in development." In other words, intelligence isn't fixed. Intelligence isn't general. Intelligence is not a thing. Instead, intelligence is a dynamic, diffuse, and ongoing process.
The IQ test has valid uses. It can help teachers and principals understand how well students are doing and what they're missing. But the widespread belief that it defines what each of us are capable of (and limited to) is disabling for individuals and society. People simply cannot reach their full potential if they honestly believe that they are so severely restricted.
Question: How do we go about finding the genius in all of us? What steps we can take to unlock latent talent?
David Shenk: Find the thing you love to do, and work and work and work at it. Don't be discouraged by failure; realize that high achievers thrive on failure as a motivating mechanism and as instruction guide on how to get better.

As most of you know by now, I love to travel. And I love jewelry. So when I can combine the two, it's pretty much perfection. We've launched a new series over on the Contemporary Jewelry Design Group's website, called "In The Studio" where I get to visit my favorite jewelry designers and see where and how they work.
It's so exciting to see where artists–and these jewelry designers are definitely artists–create their work. In many cases, their environment can inform their jewelry: the space, the light, the city they live and work in. And I've found that most jewelry designers surround themselves with interesting objects and images that all contribute to inspiration.
For this In The Studio, I visited San Francisco to see Rebecca Overmann. In a bright loft in the Mission District, some seriously gorgeous jewelry is all handmade with integrity. Here's a glimpse of what I found, and you can see the full article at CJDGJewelers.org.
Thanks, Rebecca! You can see Rebecca's new work at the Couture Show in Las Vegas at Salon 137.

Pat yourself on the back: you have the Paleo thing down at home, and you can order like a champ when dining out at a restaurant. But what about parties? Do you know how to navigate a non-Paleo shindig? Don't worry—we'll fill you in on how to be the best guest ever. Follow our advice, and you might even get invited back!
Show Notes & Links for Episode 6:
What We Ate:
While Henry was away on business, I experimented with Fiona's Green Chicken to see if it freezes and reheats well. Answer: yes! The moral of the story is to always make a double batch of Fiona's Green Chicken so you can eat half and freeze the rest for a future meal.
Main Course:
In this episode, we dish about how to be a gracious guest at a non-Paleo party. Sure—if you're hosting the get-together, you have nothing to worry about. After all, you're in control of the food. But what about non-Paleo parties thrown by people you don't want to put off with your finicky food choices? Never fear: I have recommendations for plenty of flavorful dishes you can bring to share—without triggering any suspicions or questions about your platter of Paleo-friendly fare.
Here are some crowd-pleasers you can bring to a party:
Appetizers/Finger Foods:
Main Courses:
I also have tips to help you avoid coming across as a boorish caveperson in front of the other guests. (Yeah, I know you're always on your best behavior—but I learned the hard way that we Paleo eaters sometimes forget how we come across to our friends and family.)
Above all else: chill out, be gracious, and a good guest! Have a good time at the party and if you're famished, eat the food that you brought to share rather than face-planting into the box of cupcakes.
If you're offered food that you can't or don't want to eat, follow the example of my good friend Melissa Joulwan, and respond with a simple "Not right now." Say the phrase with a polite smile and sunny attitude, and no one'll feel bad that you just declined a slice of cake. Even if the host insists on putting food on your plate that you've declined, just remember: no one can force you to stick anything in your mouth. My savvy brother-in-law, for example, will just _pretend _to eat unwanted food that my dad piles onto his plate.
Crush of the Week:
Ollie sings his favorite song from Adventure Time, "Bacon Pancakes." Owen tells us why watermelon is the love of his life. I gush about how I'm obsessed with The Glitch Mob, the coolest electronic music band in the world. Plus, one of the band members, Justin Boreta, is Paleo!
Question of the week:
As the mother of two young boys, what do you with your boys at parties? Do you let them run wild and gobble up everything in sight? Do you put them on a leash and not let them touch anything that is "Paleo-approved"? Or something in the middle?
At home, our kids eat the way we eat. But when they're at parties, we trust Big-O and Lil-O to make their own decisions. Lil-O gets GI distress when he eats gluten, so he knows to steer clear of gluten. Big-O, on the other hand, sometimes opts to indulge his love of pizza. Both kids choose to eat non-Paleo things at times, but we're okay with it because: (1) we control what they eat 90% percent of the time, (2) they don't have life-threatening food allergies, and (3) we want them to be empowered to make their own food choices and not develop a complex about what they eat. But don't take our word for it; listen in as our boys tell us what they eat at parties.
That's it for this week! If you like what you heard, subscribe to our podcast and leave us a review on iTunes!

Brian K. Obach. Organic Struggle: The Movement for Sustainable Agriculture in the United States. MIT Press, 2015.
Here's my blurb:
Brian Obach has written an important book for everyone who produces, buys, or considers buying organically produced foods. This is a well-researched and utterly riveting history of the issues that unite and divide organic farmers and consumers, firmly grounded in the political context of classic social movements. If you want to advocate for healthier and more sustainable food systems, you must read this book.

This homemade citrus sports drink will give you the energy and hydration you need to finish your run or workout strong.
The summer heat is officially on its way, and many of you will soon be ramping up training for fall marathons. This means it's the perfect time to share one of my favorite recipes from my Nutrition for Runners Program: this easy homemade sports drink recipe.
If you'll be running over about an hour, it's important to fuel during your run, ideally in the form of simple carbohydrates that are quickly and easily digested and turned into energy. As you exercise and sweat, you lose fluids and sodium, so it's also important to replenish these while you're working out, especially if you'll be running for well over an hour. For a quick rough estimate of how many carbohydrates you should take in while on a long run, divide your body weight in pounds by 4. This will give you a good starting point for the grams of carbs you should aim to take in per hour (for runs over 1 hour).
In the winter months, I tend to stick with water and gels/gummies or real food fuel to meet my needs, but in the summer heat, a good sports drink can really hit the spot – and help to avoid any uncomfortable GI situations or dehydration and muscle cramps.
There are three key components to an effective sports drink: fluid, electrolytes, and carbohydrates.
To stay adequately hydrated, you'll want to take in about 16 to 20 oz. (~475 to 600 mL) of water/fluid per hour. This number will vary based on how much you sweat and how hot it is outside, but it's a good starting place and you can adjust as needed. Depending how heavy and salty your sweat is, you may also need to take in some sodium; there's a little added to this recipe to keep you covered on that front. (Most energy gels/gummies also include some sodium.)
All the ingredients in this recipe work together to keep you hydrated and energized during your run. Orange and lemon (or lime) juice provide fluid and simple carbohydrates that are easy to digest, resulting in a quick blood sugar boost for immediate energy. Pure maple syrup ranks low on the glycemic index, so the carbohydrates from maple syrup are digested at a slower rate, resulting in longer-lasting energy. Water and coconut water both provide fluid, and coconut water is also a source of potassium, which helps maintain fluid balance and cell function, along with sodium. I'd suggest adding the optional coconut water for particularly long runs or hard workouts because of the extra carbs and electrolytes.

You guys know I'm normally extremely anti-calorie counting, but for the purpose of sports nutrition, it's important to know that you're taking in enough calories/carbs during a workout. For that reason, I've included the nutritionals for this recipe in the above box for your reference. It's really hard to eat intuitively when you're in the middle of a super long run.
If you've got a long/tough workout on the schedule this weekend (or anytime this summer!), give this homemade citrus sports drink recipe a shot! It's a great real food variation on commercial citrus sports drinks and in my opinion is much more delicious. I hope you love it, too.

London Police chief: Officers can't babysit royals
More News from Associated Press
LONDON— London's Metropolitan Police chief says his officers cannot interfere in the private lives of the royal family, not even to prevent Prince Harry from going bare at a Las Vegas party.
Commission Bernard Hogan-Howe told a Parliamentary committee on Tuesday that his department was reviewing the role of Royal Protection officers in the incident, in which Harry was photographed naked.
However, Hogan-Howe told the panel: "Our role is to maintain the security of our protected individual. They have to lead a normal life and we have to strike a balance between intrusion into their life and keeping them safe."
He added "there is a golden line that cannot be crossed, which is getting involved in the social lives of the principals."

ANOTHER VIEW: State program seeks to assist veterans
Every year, nearly 30,000 men and women come home to California after serving honorably in the military of this great nation. They come from all different backgrounds, and they head home to communities like North San Diego County and Southwest Riverside County. They all have one thing on their mind ---- home.
They want to see their families, their friends and sleep in their own bed or sit down to dinner (not chow) at that family table. But once the euphoria of coming home wears off, and the meals and welcome-home parties are ended, they all face the reality of transitioning back into civilian life ---- finding a job, a place to live, a career ---- a future.
Many have family and friends to support them and help them transition from combat to the community. But some come back and have no support structure. Either their family has fallen apart under the stress of separation, or their jobs disappeared in the economic downturn, or the stressors of battle have left a physical or mental wound that still needs to heal.
Some veterans find themselves unemployed (the rate among veterans under the age of 24 is 50 percent higher than their civilian counterparts), or homeless (more than 25,000 veterans are homeless in California alone), or dependent on drugs or alcohol ---- battle stress many times leads to substance abuse, and current estimates find that roughly 30 percent of the soldiers, sailors and airmen deployed today suffer from some form of combat stress.
Each and every one of the veterans today who comes back home is a volunteer. They didn't have to go off to war, but they chose to serve this country and defend what it stands for in the world ---- freedom, opportunity and hope. For that very reason, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Wednesday initiated California's Operation Welcome Home to repay that volunteer effort and to help our veterans find those opportunities and fulfill their dreams and hopes.
As part of this operation, the governor directed the California Department of Veterans Affairs, in cooperation with the Labor and Workforce Development Agency and California volunteers to create a system that will reach out to California's 2.1 million veterans and provide them with a single resource for services and benefits offered by the state and supported by the communities of California.
This operation, one of the more comprehensive restructuring of services in the state, will break down the silos of government that hinder the successful transition of veterans back in to our communities. The objective is to provide veterans with one source of information, where they can find help and assistance in employment, education, housing, and health care as well as assistance in navigating the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs benefits system.
One of the key elements of this operation is the state's new veterans Web site at http://www.veterans.ca.gov, which will be a portal into state services for veterans. This Web site will work with the Network of Care Web site, which we have already set up to connect community resources with veterans, and it will connect all the services available for veterans in state departments and agencies.

I considered not adding these, but then I decided to go ahead since I plan to make some youtube instruction videos using this pseudonym.
I hope that this can be used to stereotype the people playing the game.
I'm in Jamaica, the old country.
The third one I added just so that any developer designing outfits for the game know the type of stuff we wear and the places we go.

In memory of Jim Adams - an R60/5 build diary
I've been patiently waiting for this for almost two years now.
A little over two years ago, my wife's grandpa, Jim ("Papa" to us), moved back home from Florida. He brought with him, among other things, his 1973 BMW R60/5 toaster. He admitted that he was too old to ride it anymore, and said he wanted a family member to take it. My wife has a rather large family, and it seemed that everybody wanted the bike. In fact, it became the point of a few arguments. So, I backed off and stayed away from the entire issue. Papa didn't like the bickering, so he said he was going to put everyone's names in a hat and draw one name, to whom the bike would go. Papa was a great man and treated me like one of his own, and made a point of telling me on the side that he wanted my name in the hat. I politely declined, telling him that I would love to have the bike, but not if other closer family members wanted it.
I think there was a part of Papa that wanted me to have the bike. At the time, I was the only family member that rode bikes, and Papa and I used to talk about motorcycles and trips that we had gone on.
Unfortunately, Papa passed from cancer a few short months after moving home. The bike was brought to my wife's Aunt's house, where it has sat in the back yard ever since. It made me cringe that the poor old bike was sitting outside in the elements when I had a nice garage spot for it, but I knew I had to play the waiting game. I knew if I gave it enough time, the other family members would realize that they were never going to do anything with the poor old bike. This weekend, I felt the old girl had been neglected enough. I borrowed a trailer, swung by the Aunt's house and told them I would be happy to take that eyesore off of their hands. They were actually excited to get rid of it. Funny how time changes things.
So, here she is as I unloaded her in my driveway earlier today.
I immediately grabbed a wrench and removed the windscreen. The bike already looks ten times nicer!
Hard to read here, but Papa put 43,000 miles on her:
The purpose of this thread it threefold. One is to bring this old girl back to as-new condition, probably with a few tasteful mods. The second is to honor the life of Papa. The third is a kind of therapy - I've done one other build diary (on KTM Talk) and found it very relaxing and rewarding. Plus, the forums are a great place to turn when I need help, as I know I will!
Fair warning, this will probably be long and drawn out. I'm on no time schedule and this could end up taking quite a while to complete. My last build thread took almost two years from start to finish, but I was quite happy with the results, which is all that matters to me. My last project transformed my 1994 KTM 550 MX/C from this (when I bought it):
To this:
I plan to be far more anal and detailed with this R60.
That's all for now, thanks for reading my introduction, and hopefully I'll have some updates and new photos soon.
Happy riding!
Glad you got it and it wasn't allowed to rot or ebay'ed by another family member. I'll follow the restoration.
What do you plan to spend?
I know those /5 restorations can be expensive, but do you really have to sell your nice house?
I look forward to your (sentimental) resurrection.
She doesn't look too bad as-is. Of course, the handlebar will need to be replaced or cleaned up and painted. But it doesn't look all that bad for being out in the weather for two years.
One question: What happened with the pulling a name out of a hat? Did that not happen? Finish that story!
Good eye, cordless! :D Actually, the wife and I are building a new house. I was going to wait until we moved into it to grab the BMW because I'll have a 3 car garage, but I got too antsy and grabbed the bike today.
Wirespokes - truth be told, I'm not sure what happened. I bowed out of it after I heard about it. I think the bike initially went to my wife's aunt's house because it was easiest to get to. Shortly after that, his condition worsened and I think everyone probably stopped worrying about the bike. Whatever happened, it sat there untouched since I helped unload it almost two years ago. A shame, but it's in my hands now! :clap
The pictures actually make her look in a bit better shape than she is. I'll replace the bars and the silencers, but everything else should be salvageable once painted, chromed, powder coated, or sand blasted. Should be a fun ride!
Fantastic story. I respect your approach and I'm sure when you get finished with the bike, you'll love it and think of him every time you ride it.
Great project. We'll be following it with interest.
Did you get the title? If not, I could see one of the deadbeat relatives waiting until you have restored it and then say that they want it.
No, really... Transfer the title before you have any money/time into it. If things are as hunky dory as you say it won't be a problem. If you do get blindsided, and it happens, then you haven't lost much.
Good luck with the bike. Sounds like a very special project.
Families are full of wonderful people but sometimes, especially when theres something of value to argue abut, things can get weird and unpleasant in a hurry.
Agree with 'Ok and DDog, too. This is business and tactfully get the title in your hands.
Unless the muffs are rusted out, I'd run them until I found out all what other parts it needs (you'll spend a small fortune just replacing rubber parts). The /6 mufflers work/look fine on my /5.
Hucky has a lot of obscure parts for /5's.
First off, check the speedo cable boot and change the tranny oil. A bad boot there can dribble water into the tranny on an outside-stored bike.
Well, I said this would probably be a slow build in the first post, didn't I? Almost six months since the last post, yeah I would say that counts as slow!
Between a move to a new house and cleaning and painting the old house in an effort to sell it, I've had very little free time. The good news is that things are starting to slow down, and with a nice roomy three car garage in the new house, I've got plenty of room to play with the R60. It was a relatively warm weekend and seemed like the perfect time to jump back into the project.
I didn't post the update at the time, but I took the tank to a radiator shop a few months ago to have it cleaned and coated. It was fairly rusted, but it cleaned up well.
I spent today disassembling, cleaning and reinstalling the carbs. One of the carbs had been pouring gas everywhere every time I opened the petcock. I thought it was a stuck float and that I had fixed it today, but no such luck. I've done some reading since and it looks like it could be a problem with the floats themselves, or the float valves. Either way, the result was that I did NOT get it running today like I wanted. But, I got a lot done and it shouldn't take much more to get there.
Sorry for the lack of pictures, I'll some in the the next day or so. More soon (not in another six months!). :D
Keep up the good work!
Don't forget to check the fuel line where it attaches to the carb! I've had it crack and leak down the side (where you can't see it) and drip off the bottom of the float bowl.
Subscribed. :lurk This is going to be another fun thread to follow. Best of luck getting her in tip-top shape again.

Which of Bruce Willis' Underage Daughters Got Busted for Alcohol Possession?
Tallulah Belle Willis, 17, was in a group of three underage girls spotted by cops in Hollywood on Friday night as they stepped out of a car around 11:00 p.m. The girls were allegedly carrying bottles of alcohol, and police officers intervened.
The minors couldn't be cited and released without the police notifying parents, and Tallulah reportedly placed a call to her dad. But Moore apparently was the one who zipped over to pick up Tallulah at the end of a good-time-night-gone-wrong.
Tallulah, born in 1994, is the youngest of three daughters Moore had while married to Willis (they wed in 1987 and divorced in 2000). Like her eldest sister, Rumer, Tallulah has dabbled in acting. In the past, she's been romantically linked to another scion of Hollywood: Patrick Schwarzenegger, son of Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
This isn't the first time Tallulah has made headlines for her teenage partying: at age 15, she was seen living it up with a wine glass and cigarettes at her sister Scout's birthday party.

CARROLLTON — Drake Riley scored 15 points on six of eight shooting, and the Oak Hill Raiders grabbed a 65-45 win over the Carroll Rebels in an MAIS non-district contest Saturday afternoon on the campus of Carroll Academy.
Blake Thomas notched 13 points as Oak Hill's second leading scorer. Curt Huffman and Drew Riley added eight points each.
Clayton Harper recorded a double-double for Carroll, with 19 points and 10 rebounds.

ABERDEEN — In the third meeting between West Point and Aberdeen, nothing much had changed between the two inter-county rivals – only the venue.
Two teams, state championship contenders in their respective classifications, concluded their regular season, non-district series with a classic finale.
Doretha Gray Fairchild, age 89 of West Point, passed away Sunday, Jan. 26, 2014, at Dugan Memorial Home in West Point.
Funeral arrangements are incomplete and will be announced at a later date by Calvert Funeral Home in West Point.
Calvert Funeral Home of West Point is in charge of arrangements.
It's about more than just providing shelter, it's providing a home.
At least, that's how West Point Mayor Robbie Robinson feels about the city's latest endeavor to apply for a Mississippi Development Authority HOME grant. The grant, which would be the city's first if awarded, seeks to take substandard housing with serious deficiencies in electrical wiring, heating, roofing, plumbing and foundation and start fresh.
West Point resident Omari Powe is set to plead guilty to misdemeanor telephone harassment in the West Point Municipal Court after a motion by the state to reduce a felony false report of a bomb charge.
In late 2012, according to a previous article printed in the Daily Times Leader, a bomb threat was phoned in at the local Walmart Supercenter. After investigative efforts on behalf of the West Point Police Department, a suspect was named and arrested in connection to the alleged threat.

The Eastern Buying Conference, hosted by the Northeast Beauty Rep Association, wrapped up its 2015 show at a new venue—inside the Garden State Exhibit Center in Somerset, New Jersey—April 18 and 19.
Show highlights this year included numerous new exhibitors and new products, buyers from as far away as California, free Wi-Fi on the show floor, manufacturers reps from across the country, and New York City sightseeing, dinner and/or show trips by train via nearby New Brunswick, New Jersey, for some individuals on setup day.
Officials of the Northeast Beauty Rep Association—which has hosted the Eastern Buying Conference and its predecessor, The NEBRA Show, annually since 1982—are excitedly welcoming a new venue this year.
The 2015 manufacturers rep firms' trade show will take place Saturday, April 18, and Sunday, April 19, inside the Garden State Exhibit Center in Somerset, New Jersey.
Setup is Friday, April 17, and the host hotel is the Holiday Inn Somerset.
The show floor is sold out, EBC show manager Patty Paletto has told Beauty Store Business.
Beauty sundries provider Burmax Co. has acquired Product Club, which specializes in haircolor accessories and education. As part of Product Club's continued growth, Burmax intends to expand its new haircolor accessories division into the company's beauty school network.
The Eastern Buying Conference—which wrapped up March 31 in Atlantic City, New Jersey—is moving to the Garden State Convention Center in Somerset, New Jersey, next year, show officials have announced.
The 2015 dates for the trade show that draws beauty retailers and beauty distributors and is hosted by the Northeast Beauty Rep Association—also known as NEBRA or NeBRA—are April 18-19, back to a Saturday-Sunday format.
The dates are well after Easter and Passover in 2015 too.
Target has expanded its ever-growing Beauty Concierge program to 95 stores in New York, New Jersey, the San Francisco Bay Area and the Dallas-Fort Worth market. "We're thrilled with the early success of the Beauty Concierge program and its expansion to more markets across the country," says Christina Hennington, Target's vice president of beauty and personal care.
The program is now available in nearly 300—or about 17%—of Target's 1,797 brick-and-mortar stores across the United States. (Target also has 122 brick-and-mortar stores in Canada.)
The NEBRA Show will get name and venue changes to go along with previously announced new additions to it next year, the Northeast Beauty Representatives Association said on April 30.
The new Eastern Buying Conference will take place on April 27-28, 2013, at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Patty Paletto—of A Perfect Show and NEBRA's treasurer—has told Beauty Store Business.

Mr Lind told the Otago Daily Times yesterday about 40
felt pen tags featuring the word ''Rowdy'' had appeared on
wooden and painted structures along the 32km track.
It was the first time anyone had vandalised the track, one of
New Zealand's Great Walks, which runs through the Fiordland
National Park, a World Heritage Area.
The same tag had also appeared in Franz Josef and Wanaka, he
The person responsible could be charged under the National
Parks Act 1980 with wilfully damaging or defacing a fence,
building or apparatus; or unlawfully altering, obliterating,
or defacing signs and marks, including boundary marks.
The maximum penalty under the Act is three months'
imprisonment or a $2500 fine.
Doc would likely seek reparation from the person responsible
to cover the cost of the clean-up, which would be
''It's major staff time and the track is going to be
winterised soon ... it's going to be an early spring job and
several days' work involving helicopters,'' Mr Lind said.
He said there was ''a steady level of anger building up both
internally and externally at the moment''.
Information received by Doc led them to believe the offending
probably occurred about April 19 and because trampers booked
to walk the track, Doc staff had the names of everybody on
the track at that time.
''We'll know more [today].
''Our visitor centre staff are trying to identify it ...
staff are contacting everybody on the track during that
period. We've got some very strong leads.''
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
Seeing one's work appear in the local newspaper is probably
an encouragement to these mindless idiots.

Bruins lead Islanders, 1-0, after one
|12.09.10 at 7:46 pm ET
Milan Lucic scored his 14th goal of the season, a power play tally, and the Bruins lead the Islanders, 1-0, after a period.
It appeared that Lucic's shot actually hit the right post, bounced of New York goalie Rick DiPietro and into the net. Marc Savard got the assist on the goal, registering his first point since his return from post-concussion symptoms.
DiPietro had the save of the period on Dennis Seidenberg. After giving up a big rebound off a shot from Nathan Horton, DiPietro had to lunge to stop Sedidenberg on the rebound.
The Bruins outshot the Islanders, 16-7, and Tuukka Rask didn't really face much pressure. The Bruins are 1-for-2 on the power play, while the Islanders are 0-for-1. The Bruins will begin the second period on the man advatnage, as P.A. Parenteau went off for boarding with 10.2 seconds left in the period.
Adam McQuaid and Zenon Konopka squared off in the only fight of the period.

Tribes seek more slot machines
Rincon and San Pasqual want statewide cap raised
Background: The Rincon and San Pasqual Indian bands have been battling state officials in court over the number of slot machines they should be allowed to operate, arguing that the state has misinterpreted language in 1999 compacts.
What's changing: After a Sacramento federal judge ruled in April that the state should have issued more than 10,000 licenses than are now available, the tribes are asking judges in San Diego to follow that decision. San Pasqual is also laying the groundwork for a new lawsuit seeking $566 million.
The future: Legal experts say that barring a settlement, the matter probably will be decided by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
NORTH COUNTY Two San Diego County Indian bands are hoping to leverage a recent court decision in efforts to expand their casinos without having to strike new deals with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The Rincon and San Pasqual tribes, both near Valley Center, say they should be allowed to add hundreds of slot machines to their casinos by virtue of deals they struck in 1999.
Both have lawsuits pending in San Diego federal court.
A win for the tribes would not only mean more slots but would hurt the governor's efforts to get money for the state's general fund from casino profits.
Schwarzenegger has said he will make deals for more slots only if the general fund gets a cut of the action. The tribes say they shouldn't have to negotiate for something they have a legal right to have.
The San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians last week filed a $566 million claim against the state, the first step toward a new breach-of-contract lawsuit.
The tribe says that's how much it will lose in the next 10½ years if it doesn't get the machines it believes it deserves.
Compacts between about 60 tribes and then-Gov. Gray Davis in 1999 limited each tribe to no more than 2,000 Las Vegas-style slot machines.
The Harrah's Rincon Casino & Resort has 1,600 machines. San Pasqual's Valley View Casino 1,572. Both want more machines.
The 1999 compacts also set a statewide cap, but tribes and the state disagree on what that cap is.
State officials say they don't have any more licenses to give Rincon and San Pasqual because the compacts limit the statewide number to 33,151, and all those licenses have been given out.
Tribes say the cap should be much higher. At various times, they have argued for 56,000, 60,000 and up to 113,000.
The actual number of slots in play in California Indian casinos is about 60,000, because some machines in place in 1999 aren't counted and new deals with some tribes allow many more machines not part of the statewide cap.
Rincon and San Pasqual are not alone in going to court to get the statewide cap increased. Two Northern California tribes have sued in Sacramento federal court.
In April, a federal judge there rejected the numbers proposed by both the state and the Colusa and Picayune tribes.
Judge Frank Darnell Jr. said the complicated formula setting up the statewide cap on slot machines is subject to various interpretations. He said the correct number should be 42,700, suggested as a fallback position by the Colusa and Picayune tribes.

Oklahoma top high school QB commits to Alabama
SEP 05, 2013 11:43a ET
Thursday night, Cornwell, perhaps the best high school quarterback in the nation and one of the top players in Oklahoma, starts the season for Norman North High School against cross-town rival Norman High.
If you don't know who Cornwell is, you will soon. He's considered the prize of Alabama's recruiting class.
Yeah, that Alabama.
Cornwell has committed to play for Nick Saban and the two-time defending champion Crimson Tide next season.
And tonight in Norman, he'll play his first game in a college environment. The Timberwolves, who made Oklahoma's Class 6A - the state's largest class - championship game a season ago – will start the season against Norman on the University of Oklahoma's Owen Field.
Cornwell is 6-foot-5, 241 pounds and considered the No. 32 player in the country, according to ESPN. Last year he played for Jones (Okla.) High, a Class 3A school before winning an appeal and becoming eligible to play for Norman North. He went to high school in Nebraska and Florida before coming to Oklahoma with his family for his father's job.
Cornwell threw for 2,742 yards and 27 touchdowns last season at Jones and has received scholarship offers from Arkansas, Auburn, Colorado, Miami, Georgia, Oklahoma State, Notre Dame and more.

a peanut butter sandwich and glass of milk is a prime snack, its easily 5-600 calories and healthy to boot.
another great one is eggs of any form, scramble up 8 eggs and you have yourself 720 calories, put cheese on them even more, have something on the side even more.
steak is dense in everything if you can afford it.
what paul reccomended is great too, great balance of carbs protien and healthy fat from the meat.
hmm i really dont have to many clean clean ideas as i eat like crap, hence probley why i pushed a car a little ways and ran back to mine last night and was out of breath for 5 minutes...
but anyways, you can do it clean you just need more food, milk and peanut butter are key, KEY!

I found this stuff called Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) that is similar to a grain but is actually a seed. It can replace rice in just about anything and the great part about it is that it is a complete protein (similar to milk or eggs or beef).
For buling I usually keep a tub of cottage cheese close by with some natural peanut butter and some quinoa. I usually have a mixture of ground beef/chicken/turkey with diced tomatoes, garlic, onions, green peppers, and artichoke hearts all the time as well. I don't have just one thing at a time ever. I'll have a couple of spoons of cottage cheese, a MRP shake, some of the meat mixture with quinoa, and then a spoon of peanut butter to finish it off.
Mmmmm delicious!

how about this: pasta shells with carbonara sauce, sauteed mushrooms, dry fried bacon and garlic coated diced chicked breast, with crushed black pepper on top - a favourite of mine!

here's another couple of tips:

Don't buy too many heath foods as they typically don't have many calories, and we're back at the problem of you body using is tissue for energy or feeling lethargic.
And my best tip: Whenever you make a sandwich, instead of peanut butter or whatever you normally have, fry up a small steak with a bit of cumin, black pepper, and brown sauce!

Way down this road, in a gym far away, a young man was once heard to say, "I've repped high and I've repped low, No matter what I do my legs won't grow."
He tried leg extensions, leg curls, and leg presses, too. Trying to cheat these sissy workouts he'd do. From the corner of the gym where the big men train, Through a cloud of chalk and the midst of pain.
Where the big iron rides high and threatens lives, Where the noise is made with big forty fives. A deep voice bellowed as he wrapped his knees, A very big man with legs like trees.
Laughing as he snatched another plate from the stack, Chalking his hands and monstrous back, Said "Boy stop lying and don't say you've forgotten, Trouble with you is you ain't been SQUATTIN"
