I wish I could have taken crazydrummerdude up on his offer to come down for a tech day when he offered shortly after I bought the bike. Unfortunately, my fabrication business is "feast or famine" and I was really busy for months about that time and had to ignore the bike until just recently. I agree, an experienced guide would have sped the project. Oh well, I'm learning a lot along the way. I'm quite mechanically inclined, but even with the almost 800 pages in the Clymer manual they can't address every little aspect of what happens to a almost 40 year old bike when it's been sitting for a few years. Complete disassemby and reassembly would be ideal, but then I'd be tempted to re-do everything and it would take a really long time and cost a lot of $$. I don't have any desire for a "restored" bike; I love the character the "patina" gives the bike. As I look at it I'm just catching up on years of neglected maintenance. Nothing like the lessons learned from the school of experience and that's why I appreciate everyone taking the time to post helpful hints here!
I had the brushes out of the holders. I seem to recall a minimum length of about .32" in the manual. I didn't get out my caliper, but per a tape measure at hand they were over 3/8" (.375"), so they should be good, although are probably candidates for replacement soon. The "watch springs" have plenty of room before they even get close to bottoming out, and the length of the brushes would seem adequate to keep them from "cocking" and hanging up in their holders. The bike has just under 112xxx miles on it as best I can figure. The PO bought it with 20K-ish miles and it's now showing 11,xxx so I'm figuring he rode it the ~90K over his long ownership. I'll get into the instrument cluster plug to clean-up and tune-up as needed and see what happens. Another thread here recently had to do with a non-charging issue and several posters went into detail about the current "flow" on the way to the brushes. I'll refer back to that thread for more info as I might need it. I try to avoid posting every niggling question here so I don't make a pest of myself or get too lazy to learn on my own.

A self-described "huge foodie," Janet Tomiyama, a Rutgers psychologist, is interested in why we diet, the social stigma attached to weight, and what happens to us psychologically when we diet.
Recently, while a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California-San Francisco (as a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health and Society Scholar), Tomiyama and colleagues Elissa Epel and Mary Dallman discovered that comfort food, while it may add to the waistline and contribute to some health problems, really does lower the physiological and psychological effect of stress. Comfort food, it turns out, is called that for a reason.
With the holiday season approaching, and great piles of stress and good food getting ready to collide, Rutgers Today asked Tomiyama about the relationship between comfort food, stress and health.
Rutgers Today: What is "comfort food," for purposes of your research?
Tomiyama: To paraphrase Justice Potter Stewart's famous remark about pornography, I know it when I see it. I think we all intuitively know what we crave when we're stressed; but my next phase of research is designed to understand exactly what works to comfort us at a biological level. Is it sweet food? Maybe. But I don't think any of us would be comforted by just a candy cane. Is it high fat, sweet food? That seems closer – I'm sure most of us would nominate donuts, ice cream, and brownies as their favorite comfort foods. But what about high fat, salty foods? Will mashed potatoes and gravy do the trick? These are fun questions to think about, but it's also important to understand from a scientific perspective what works best to comfort us. Then we can use this knowledge to help people cope with stress. And if it turns out that relatively healthy foods work just as well as unhealthy foods, that would be wonderful information - to be able to increase health at the same time that we lower stress.
Rutgers Today: How are "comfort food" and stress related?
Tomiyama: Stress makes us reach for comfort foods. That much we knew. We also knew that comfort foods tended to soothe us emotionally. But then researchers discovered that other species eat comfort food in response to stress. They discovered that rats found comfort foods – lard mixed with sugar instead of regular rat food – biologically soothing, meaning their stress systems weren't as active. My latest study tried to see if we could find evidence of this biological dampening-down of the stress system in humans. We found a group of very highly stressed women who were caring for partners with dementia and looked at their stress system in many different ways. We found that these high-stress women reported more comfort eating than low-stress women, and that they in general had lower biological responses to stress including lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol.

Kayla Matos-Galo is 4 years old, but anyone looking only at the scale might think she was 12, as Kayla weighs 95 pounds.
According to doctors, Kayla's weight does not stem from any medical problems. They say she is overweight because she eats too much, and for several years, she got no physical activity. The doctors warn that if Kayla doesn't get her eating under control, she could suffer serious health repercussions.
The number of overweight children has grown significantly in the last 16 years. A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 7 percent of children were overweight in 1980. By 2006, that number had grown to 19 percent.
"I didn't want to see it, that she was obese," Kayla's mom, Luz Matos, explained. "I gave her chips. 'Mom, I want chips!' I gave her little baggies of chips, a lot of Popsicles, candy. I was neglecting."
And Luz Matos is worried. She is afraid Kayla will suffer. She has already noticed the health ramifications. "She has breathing problems. She has sleep apnea. She skips breathing while she's sleeping. I can't concentrate when she's sleeping. I sleep right next to her sometimes, and I lose sleep because I'm trying to hear her breathe and see if she's breathing at night."
According to Matos, Kayla was thin as an infant. Kayla's big brother does not have a weight problem, so Matos never thought to monitor Kayla's eating habits, even when Kayla began sneaking food out of the refrigerator when she was just 1½. She would sneak cheese, hot dogs, anything she could get her hands on. Eventually, Matos had to install a lock on the refrigerator door.
By the age of 2, Kayla, at 52 pounds, was twice her recommended weight. Her family was shocked when her pediatrician proclaimed Kayla severely overweight and sent her to a nutrition clinic at Chicago's Children's Memorial Hospital. Her doctors have imposed a strict diet and exercise regimen that her family has also been asked to follow.
According to Kayla's nutritionist, Linda Somers, "People come to us thinking that their kids have a gland problem. That is the common term that they use, and in the 15 years that I've been doing this, only one to two kids have actually had a medical reason for being overweight. … The rest is lifestyle. It's the parents' habits. It's the kids' habits from early on."
Weight is a now big issue for Kayla, both physically and socially. It is hard for her to keep up with the other kids. Her gym teacher has all the kids jumping, but Kayla can hardly make it past three jumps. Her feet hurt her when she plays because her extra weight puts a lot of pressure on her bones.
The experts who monitor Kayla's progress try to alter how the family interacts with her. "Instead of rewarding the child with food, reward them with a fun activity day, like a trip to the park, you know, instead of giving them a treat like ice cream or going to the candy store," said Katie Rule, Kayla's physical therapist.
Kayla is now expected to exercise an hour each day. Living in Chicago makes it difficult for her to play outside every day, so on the day we visited her, she rode her bike indoors.
Kayla is friendly and full of energy, but as soon as dinner is mentioned, her mood takes a turn. She is demanding. "I want soup! I want soup! I want soup!" Her mom has prepared a meal with vegetables and extra fiber, but Kayla acts up.

Continuing its solid start to the season, the Liverpool boys swim team had no problem in its last meet of 2009, ripping Utica Proctor 103-64 last Tuesday night.
As the starting point, the Warriors won the 200 medley relay as Brandon Frush, Joe Hens, Cory Spado and Tom Schmid prevailed in a time of 1:54.18.
Joe Hens came right back to win the 200 individual medley (2:22.39), while Dan Hens swam the 100 freestyle in 56.95 seconds and Frush won the 100 backstroke in 1:13.63.
Elsewhere, Alex Coleman-Gridley earned first place in the 200 freestyle (2:02.85), with Alex Perfitt taking the 50 freestyle (24.05 seconds), Phil MacLeod winning the 100 butterfly (1:04.69) and Shane Donovan putting up a time of 5:28.87 in the 500 freestyle.
Cicero-North Syracuse's pre-holiday blitz continued on Dec. 18 with its own visit to Utica Proctor and a 93-74 victory over the Raiders.
Paul LaRosa succeeded early, as he took the 200 individual medley (2:30.18) after teaming with Josh DeSimone, Kyle Sager and Cory Whalen to swim the 200 medley relay in 2:01.85.
Billy Werksman put together a top diving score of 205.50 points and helped Ben Mozo, Ricky Blackburn and Tyler Fornito win the 200 freestyle relay in 1:49.63.
DeSimone earned his own victory in the 100 backstroke (1:07.62) as Blaise Maio worked his way to first place in the 50 freestyle in 25.99 seconds.
Three days later, the Northstars lost to Fayetteville-Manlius 96-79 at the Nottingham High School pool.
Werksman again won in diving, earning 196 points. LaRosa, Mozo, Maio and James Fisher would take the 400 freestyle relay in 4:06.26. Otherwise, F-M won every race, with Kevin Koh (50 freestyle, 100 butterfly), Jack Robinson (200 individual medley, 100 backstroke) and Zach Swanson (200 freestyle, 500 freestyle) each winning twice.

Foxconn, a major supplier to technology companies such as Apple and Microsoft, admitted Tuesday that it hired 14-year-old interns, breaking Chinese law.
The company's Yantai factory is at fault, having employed a number of interns under the legal age of 16 for three weeks. Foxconn says that the facility that hired the interns does not deal with Apple products, and that it is launching an investigations into the decision and those behind it. It also mentioned that this is not only against Chinese law, but Foxconn policy.
The internship program, according to the statement, lasts for anywhere between three and six months long, and bring in roughly 2.7 percent of the company's 1.2 million strong workforce.
It seems Foxconn has been riding on a wave of bad news for the past year. It was recently audited by the Fair Labor Association when Apple was accused of treating its factory workers poorly. The audit found a number of workplace practices in violation of the law.
Soon after the launch of the iPhone 5, incidents broke out amongst Foxconn employees, including a fight that was only broken up by law enforcement, who sent some employees for medical treatment. Soon thereafter, thousands of Foxconn employees went on strike outside of the factory. A release by the China Labor Watch suggested the protests were directly related to heightened quality demands that caused so much tension among the employees that fights broke out between quality insurance inspectors and the assembly line. The China Labor Watch also said the protests disrupted the factory's production of iPhone 5s.

The movie is devoid of laughs, except for a mildly funny segment when one of the chipmunks inhales helium. And since this is aimed at the under-10 set, it includes the requisite flatulence joke and a spit take or two. show more
Ultimately, the values and the CGI are good, but the acting is broad and the chipmunks aren't really differentiated. What happened to Alvin, the rodent counterpart of Dennis the Menace? Was he declawed in the translation to CGI? show more

56 year old man | Cincinnati, OH, USA | Seeking women 40-55 within 40 miles
Active within 5 days
My idea of enjoying winter...is on a post card!
Well, lets see...I am 55 yrs old just so you know! I'm a very laid back kind of guy who likes to have fun with fun people. I'm very easy to get along with. I'm considered by some to be a handsome man and no...I am not conceited or a player, I'm a very humble nice guy. I believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I have a great sense of humor. I'm a very kind, carring and loving person. I'm a decent kind of man that doesn't have to step on others to get to where I need to go. I have morals, good manners and am respectful of others privacy and personal lives. I don't harrass people and only expect the same respect in return. I like many different kinds of music...rap's not one of them! I figure there's a good reason why RAP rhymes with CRAP!lol. Luv the movies, going out to dinner and clubs now and then. I like to stay at home sometimes, rent a movie, soak in a hot tub or build a fire and chill. I luv to build things which means i spend alot of time at my other home called the "hardware store". I like to workout and do most anything out doors.I'm simply looking for a female friend to start with. I'm looking for that "one" woman that keeps my full attention! A companion in which we would both share similar interests. Someone to hang with, go to the movies with and enjoy good conversation over drinks and a dinner on occasion. Oh, and one more thing...Yes, like most, I'm pretty picky as most of us are. :) Yes, looks certainly count (I don't mean you have to be perfect, no one is, I know I'm not)...lets face it...what really attracts one person to another prior to even hearing a single word come from their mouth, Looks! There has to be a mutual physical attraction and chemistry upfront, but once that half of the battle is achieved, the other half is what goes on up stairs in the mind department. If one can find both those basic qualities in one person then the relationship will build from there. People often say "you can't judge a book by its cover" This may be true, but if the cover lacked visual appeal to begin with, I would have more than likely passed it by. Sounds shallow I know, but it's not, it's true! I don't consider myself to be a "shallow" person at all...I just know what floats my boat so to speak (just as you know what floats yours). I'm a strong believer in MUTUALITY in a relationship...if it ain't mutual, it's just "jang" (just ain't no good) and won't work. "ATTENTION: No picture get's no response" sorry. Don't be shy, show yourself. :)

I exercise 1-2 times per week.
Don't display my sign
I like Cats, Dogs, Fish, Horses
I used to like a few of the local bars here in Cincy as well as Newport on the levee ( better known as "Cincy's loss" ) I'll go now and then, but not like I used to. Luv to head almost anywhere south for the great sunny warm weather and the sites.
The Sun for sure! Sleeping during the rain and hoping it's gone by the time I get up. I watch TLC, HistoryC, A&E. I think the Red / Green show is hilarious! Luv Italian, German and Tex-Mex food. Enjoy most kinds of music.
What to do for fun...hmmm. Well, I like to go to vintage auto shows, indy....I like going out to Indiana...have a place on the river there. I absolutely love to hide from the shade in the summer time.

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Muffins with Agave
Pumpkins are icons of autumn. Big or little, their orange glows brightly even when every leaf in sight is announcing the return of fall. What's inside their skin will hold its own in your gluten-free creations, too. The attributes of a pumpkin are an incredible addition to your cooking.
Not only does it have a wonderful flavor and texture, but it lends itself well to every meal of the day.
Almost every course of the meal, from soup to dessert, can benefit from this welcome addition to your dinner table. Most of us are familiar with pumpkin pie, but, how many other ways have you had pumpkin?
There are a lot of good reasons to eat more pumpkin dishes!
Most people don't realize that pumpkins are loaded with Vitamin A – over 100% of the daily, FDA-recommended value is in just a half-cup serving — plus good amounts of Vitamins C and E, iron and fiber, to name a few of its other benefits.
This low-carb, low-fat nutritional powerhouse vegetable is a natural to combine with agave nectar. I made a batch of these gluten-free pumpkin muffins with agave this week.
And, I'm glad I did!
They rose well and have a smooth, attractive crust. And, they hold their texture when broken open, not crumbling apart like some muffins do.
My husband didn't like them much, but, he did eat a whole one. I suspect that the muffins weren't sweet enough for him…… So, next time I'll outsmart him!
I'll add some raisins or dates, a bit more agave and I won't tell him they are a gluten-free recipe. Personally, I thought they were just right for a muffin.
- 7/8 Cup Gluten-free Flour Mix, like King Arthur Flour
- 7/8 Teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- 3/4 Cup Agave Nectar
- 3/8 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 Teaspoon Nutmeg, ground
- 1 Dash Ginger, ground
- 1 Dash Cinnamon, ground
- 1/4 Cup Oil, olive
- 1/4 Cup Pumpkin, canned
- 2 2/3 Tablespoons Water
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 Cup Pecans, broken
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease and flour muffin tins.
Sift together the dry ingredients.
Add the remaining ingredients. Mix well.
Fill muffin tins 2/3 full; bake for 20-25 minutes, or until done.
This gluten-free recipe is designed for those with gluten intolerance, gluten sensitivity, or celiac (coeliac) disease, but I've found that people who have no food allergies like it, too. It's one of my gluten-free recipes that is wheat-free, barley-free and rye-free, as well as dairy-free and refined sugar-free. It is a wheat-free recipe suitable for a wheat-free diet.

By the time Frances Moore Lappe's book, Diet For a Small Planet, was published in 1971 America had already slipped deep into a SAD menu of processed foods high in fat, sodium, sugar and artificial additives. There were also toxic chemicals spreading through our food supply like a dark dusting of poison seeping into the blood streams of Americans. Next thing we knew those 10 pounds of body fat became the holding tank for all the chemicals our organs could not eliminate naturally. Need I list even a few of the evil bad boys? Alright, but just to stun you with the depth of their migration into our every day lives: heavy metals mercury, dioxin, cadmium, lead, pharmaceutical drugs, recreational drugs, nicotine, formaldehyde, PCB's, DDT, Pesticides, Herbicides, Plasticizers, Diethylstilbestrol (DES).
Suddenly going on a "diet" became something more than giving up Wonder bread and cheese, it became a matter of survival. The 2-week low calorie, low carb weight loss diet has been replaced by the 7-Day Detox plan, which in my mind is a cruel and torturous punishment to a body that has served you well. Still, people just want to feel good. They want to find the physical and mental vitality they lost, to feel less bloated, lighter, more clear in the head, I mean, to at least remember where they left the car keys.
When you overload an organic, living organism with inorganic chemicals, expose it to a consistent barrage of radiation from cell phones, computers, wireless toys and feed it a steady diet of dead micro-waved food you cannot expect that organism to function at its optimal best. Yet this is what we have done to ourselves as adults and to our children, who suffer the most from the effects. Nor can you expect immediate results with sudden fasting and laxative use. After 7 days of suffering it is no wonder people say they feel better.
I prefer to guide people through a slow process of raising the quality of the foods they eat. "Detox" is the new word for "diet" because when done properly by eating unprocessed, organic, locally grown, home cooked, nutrient rich foods your body will take care of detoxing itself, thank you very much. If you need some deeper level of detoxification due to heavy-metal poisoning, chemical exposure, or parasite infestation, then you should contact a medical practitioner who specializes in treating these conditions. Even then, remember that the quality of the foods you eat are what will naturally "detox" your body so you will never have to "diet" again. Bon Appetite!
Does Detox Really Work?

01 // Blind Photography
This 'Digizine' called by it's number and title is therefore the first of an irregular series on whatever broadens our sights. This issue is focussed on Blind Photography. With contributions from Timothy O'Brien and Alex de Jong.
photo: Timothy O'Brien Blind people who take pictures, may sound absurd or strange... Your ideas about what is normal or abnormal... we create prejudices without realising. We are so used to seeing the world only with our eyes that we believe without them we could not see... Timothy O' Brien, blind photographer, explains why photography isn't exclusive to who can see: "Vision, unlike beauty, is not in the eye of the beholder, as the expression goes, but lies instead in the mind and heart. Our experiences and feelings contextualise our sensory data. Our mind builds vision by folding sensory information; what we see, hear, taste, feel and even smell, into the patterns that we have already envisioned, creating a feedback loop that is sight. We see what we imagine we see. Without a full flow of data from the eye, imagination is the key to vision, letting the mind stitch together an image. So vision is more than sight, just as imagination is more than information. Sight may contribute to vision, as knowledge fuels imagination, but a creative mind needs neither to experience vision or imagination." He shows how the blind see with touch and develop other senses that can perceive the world with the same efficiency as those who employ the visual sense. 02. Vision in mind and heart Alex de Jong / Profile Alex de Jong considers himself a very visual person; the only difference between him and you is that he can't see. He is a professional photographer who was diagnosed with cancer and then as a result of a tumor lost his eyesight. Being blind has made Alex discover one critical factor; the brain produces images, not the eyes. Harvesting Shots Timothy O' Brien / Interview I first took photography seriously about ten years ago with the arrival of decent digital cameras. Small prints and tiny negatives tempered any serious interest in image making. As the technology allowed full-screen photo editing, I was lucky enough to share an office with a serious shutterbug. 03. 04-11 12-19 Vision in mind and heart Alex de Jong / Profile 04. As a blind photographer he feels his talent is under constant scrutiny; "Taking a picture is so easy, you just need a camera, decide at which moment to shoot, press the button and then you have your picture. Why can't the blind do this?" photo: Alex de Jong photos: Alex de Jong 05. Alex appears a very conventional photographer; he carries his cameras with him at all times, but more recently he has found himself evolving and using his iPhone camera. This is not only for convenience but to complete the process independently, something of which is extremely important to him. For him his work isn't just aesthetically produced but more importantly for provoking emotion. "A lot of people believe that photography is a window, when you look at a picture you can see something from someone's point of view; how that person see the world, and how that person feels. 06. For me, my photos are more than that. They are mirrors, when people see my pictures they can reflect from them." For Alex the responses from his audience are sometime more important to him than the picture itself. Harvesting Shots Timothy O' Brien / Interview 07. He introduced me to digital photography and the basics of image creation as well as the inspirational work of Cartier-Bresson and Sebasti�o Salgado. My colleague lent me my first serious camera and I haven't been without one since. photos: Timothy O'Brien which work with? I use a Nikon D40X with a and a small off-camera flash setup. I u images. I am looking into rethering as and viewfinder are too small to be suf high hopes that the iPad or similar wil camera control with full control of set review and preview. h make in my workin vision, stitchi allows I hope photos: Timothy O'Brien h camera do you a few basic lenses use LightRoom to edit s the on-camera LCD fficiently useful. I have ll evolve into a wireless ttings and both image how do you 08. your photos? Could you describe one ng day? As I do have some functional , I prepare each image or series by ing together a picture of the subject mind. Immersing myself in the shoot s me to build a map of the image that e the camera will capture. photos: Timothy O'Brien 09. From the click of the shutter, I need to wait for the digital darkroom before reviewing usage. With such small LCDs I have little of the immediate feedback, something so integral to many modern photographers. The computer has very much become my darkroom. It is only on screen that the camera's memory card gives up its hoard and I can begin harvesting the successful shots. What is the most important element in a photo? Feelings? Techniques? Feeling is key to a usage, but that feeling will be revealed clearly only with good technique. Technique makes the camera invisible and connects the viewer to the subject directly. Without technique, the image is layered with distractions and distortions that distance and separate the viewer from the subject of the image. By technique, I mean more intention than formula. A photographer must have an intention when making an image and that intention can only be expressed through the syntax of technique. photo: Timothy O'Brien 10.

Ciranda's organic shortening and palm products – which carry our Palmfruit brand -- are produced in northeast Brazil by an exclusive partner that owns and operates the most modern palm production facility in the country. This partner is also a leader in Brazil's growing effort to promote economic and environmental sustainability. Only 30% of the company's managed land is devoted to palm production. The rest has been reforested, more than four decades after it was cleared for cattle ranching.
Where does Ciranda's palm oil come from?

Taxpayers' willingness to voluntarily comply with tax laws depends in part on their confidence that friends, neighbors, and business competitors are paying their fair share of taxes. The Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) programs to ensure compliance and to collect delinquent taxes are viewed by many as critical for maintaining the public's confidence in our tax system. Congress asked GAO to present information on trends in IRS's compliance and collection programs and to discuss issues related to IRS's efforts to increase staffing for these programs. GAO was also asked to discuss IRS's plans to launch new initiatives to reduce noncompliance with the Earned Income Tax Credit (EIC) and to use private collection agencies to assist in collecting delinquent taxes.
From fiscal years 1993 through 2002, IRS's four major compliance programs for individual taxpayers had mixed trends in the portion of taxpayers they contacted with two declining, one increasing, and one staying relatively the same. Among the programs, IRS's often-cited audit rate declined about 38 percent. From fiscal years 1996 through 2001, IRS's collection program experienced almost universal declines in workload coverage, cases closed, direct staff time used, productivity, and dollars of unpaid taxes collected. Many parties have expressed concern about the compliance--especially audit--and collections trends for their potential to undermine taxpayers' motivation to fulfill their tax obligations. Since 2001 IRS has sought more resources including increased staffing for compliance and collections. Despite receiving requested budget increases, staffing levels in key occupations were lower in 2002 than in 2000. These declines occurred for reasons such as unbudgeted expenses consuming budget increases and other operational workload increases. Based on past experience and uncertainty regarding some expected internal savings, fiscal year 2004 anticipated staff increases might not fully materialize. IRS's 2004 budget proposes a substantial initiative to address known sources of EIC noncompliance. IRS intends to ramp up the initiative rapidly with planning and implementation proceeding simultaneously. If it is to succeed, the initiative will require careful planning and close management attention. IRS also proposes to use private collection agencies to assist in collecting certain delinquent tax debt. IRS is seeking authority to retain some tax receipts in a revolving fund to pay the private collectors. A pilot effort to use private collectors in 1996 was unsuccessful, in part because IRS was unable to identify and channel appropriate collection cases to the private collectors. Key implementation details for this proposal must be worked out and it too will require careful planning and close management attention.
