|‐ Principal "source of law". In a civil law country (like the Netherlands) this is legislation; in a common law country (like the US) law starts with case law (jurisprudence). Compared with the United States legal precedents are less "binding" judges in the Netherlands; the judge will always make her or his first referral to the law itself, whereas in the US especially a Supreme Court decision would be considered guiding for the application of law.
|‐ in the Netherlands, one also has one hierarchy of legislation; laws of lower order cannot be incompatible with laws of higher order. By contrast, the US Federal law may "co-exists" with State law (as is the case with "FOIA").
|‐ The FOIA applies only to federal agencies, while the WOB relates to all governmental administrative bodies in the Netherlands (Rijk, provincie, gemeente), as well as other administrative bodies. In the US, states have their "own" FOIA, different from state to state and, as mentioned above, not bound by the FOIA at a federal level. (NB: lessons could be learned from exploring "best practice" in several of those states.)
|‐ Under Dutch law, an agency is expected to inform a requester where to obtain the information sought, whenever possible. American federal agencies have no direct incentive to maintain and provide comprehensive information about information holdings, since FOIA requests must be addressed to the proper agency.
Although these differences are quite basic in their origin, we found that there is less difference in practice. However, there are some striking issues in the FOIA that are of interest for further "e"WOB development:

I aint buying a new bike, but I would love to hang out at the workshop for some good old stories about Post, de Kneet, Fedor and many others. I know for a fact that Kaaij is full of them!

Couple of weeks ago I ve had a conversation with van der Kaaij at the Velodrome in Sloten Amsterdam. He will start at the end of this year as mentioned earlier with his new partners. He will coach them to become master frame builders and one of the guys is helping him financing the whole venture. At this moment they are preoccupied preparing their business.
He told me that he was completely blown away by the huge interest at the RIH tribute ride May 20th 2012. And that almost at the same time he was allready approached by some guys to continue RIH in another business. Still the whole rights issue about the brand RIH remains a vague issue in my opinion... But who cares, I hope they will continue to build some frikking cool bikes and start the Amsterdam Steel Renaissance!
One of the trainers arrived at the Velodrome with a bike he picked up in Groningen. I also had been among many of the people who had shown interest in this bike. But they were kind of overwhelmed by the amount of emails an request for more info due to the blurry pics on marktplaats. Finally they told the highest bidder to pick up this gem. As shown on the pics this RIH is in pristine condition. Well spent 325 or 350 euro's...In the background my former 50s RIH Super Course that I've sold to one of the trainers (2nd picture), a crazy RIH enthousiast and also a framebuilder.

Hi guys,
Does somebody nows more about the specific RIH Fongers framenumber? My framenumber is 103AZ, so with 2 letters ?? Please see picture (sorry about the dust..)
framenummer nieuw rih.jpgrih voor bikeforums.jpg
It looks really good, Fiets! Originally it would probably have had a Titan bar stem. With that and a slightly worn Brooks saddle it would be just perfect.
Thanks! I Love such bikes, high ending super sports... A little bit unknown compaired to famous race RIH's and tour Fongers.
Indeed, the bike need some adjustments like a Brooks sadle, white sport pedals and time conform tires. I guess this stem replaced the original Titan stem because of the size, still I got an old Jabo with Titan stem, I will probably use this stem to complete the RIH
A really nice bike! Also with optional 531 tubing.. Do you use this RIH regularly?
work in progress: "Who wants to help us with the frame number archive?" https://www.facebook.com/RIH.Sport.A...ation=timeline
I am looking for some info about RIH with a smallar pedigree.... any of you can give me some general description of the RIH (Holland) Mistral ? Anyone riding it ? Tubeset type ? Fork ?

Hi, l have just acquired a RIH Sport no. 5632 which looking at your chart dates it around 1959. The bike was raced by its second owner Peter Chew from 1963 to 1983 when it was replaced by a Daccordi. I will post a photo when l learn how to. The bike was repainted in 1979 in a metallic green and gold. Probably depicting Australian colours. In 1983 the wheels and group set were raided for the Daccordi so the frame sat in a garage for the next 30 years. I have now fitted it with campy wheels 27`` and campy steel crank with GS derailluars. The brake levers and gear selectors were with the bike, SG levers and campy end of bar shifters. Great bike to ride.

September Selection-Planet of the Apes,
Pierre Boulle,
Presenter: Dr. Katherine Wikoff
September 16, 2015
In the not-too-distant future, three astronauts land on what appears to be a planet just like Earth, with lush forests, a temperate climate and breathable air. But while it appears to be a paradise, nothing is what it seems. They soon discover the terrifying truth: on this world, humans are savage beasts and apes rule as their civilized masters. In an ironic novel of nonstop action and breathless intrigue, one man struggles to unlock the secret of a terrifying civilization, all the while wondering: will he become the savior of the human race, or the final witness to its damnation? In a shocking climax that rivals that of the original movie, Boulle delivers the answer in a masterpiece of adventure, satire and suspense.

October Selection-Last of the Mohicans,
by James Fenimore Cooper
Presenter: Judith Steininger
October 14, 2015
Once upon a time it was really wild in upstate New York. Thanks to Cooper we have a filtered vision of that time. Perhaps no other book has bridged the terrain from Europe to America and solidified the American archetypes that still affect our notions of heroism, manliness, womanhood and races. Good and evil are tossed in for no extra charge. Meet Natty Bumppo as he roams the dense forests which were heretofore the purview of Chingachgook and his Mohican people. We've referenced this novel so many times in our Great Books discussions it's time we read the original.

People start out as young couples brimming with idealism and hope. Then life happens. Fortunately, every so often, a writer with profound experiences of his own, as well as writing abilities to express them, comes along, to whit Wallace Stegner. In his last novel published in 1987, Crossing to Safety captures the vagaries of life. Two young couples Larry and Sally Morgan meet Sid and Charity Lang in Madison, Wis.; their lives will take them all to Battell Pond, Vt. We will go with them through Stegner's thoughtful prose. Before Stegner earned three university degrees, he grew up in the school of hard knocks, traveled during the Great Depression from Iowa to Montana among other stops, and won the Pulitzer Prize for Angle of Repose.

Having brought to life eccentric cereal king John Harvey Kellogg in The Road to Wellville and sex researcher Alfred Kinsey in The Inner Circle, T.C. Boyle now turns his fictional sights on an even more colorful and outlandish character: Frank Lloyd Wright. Boyle's incomparable account of Wright's life is told through the experiences of the four women who loved him. There's the Montenegrin beauty Olgivanna Milanoff, the passionate Southern belle Maude Miriam Noel, the tragic Mamah Cheney, and his young first wife, Kitty Tobin. Blazing with his trademark wit and inventiveness, Boyle deftly captures these very different women and the creative life in all its complexity.

March Selection-The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test,
by Tom Wolfe
Presenter: Dr. Katherine Wikoff
March 9, 2016
Tom Wolfe, a journalist already widely known for his exuberant portraiture of the American Bizarre, plunged into the psychedelic world of the Pranksters and emerged with The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, a now-classic portrait of the coterie which gave the hippie world of the 1960s much of its philosophy and vocabulary. He recounts their romp across America in the first psychedelic bus, their alliance with the Hell's Angels, their Beelzebubbling takeover of a Unitarian Church convention, their conversion of the biggest anti-Vietnam rally of all time into a freak-out, and their zany games of hide-and-seek from the law in two countries—all with a depth of exploration and a stylistic inventiveness which make The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test one of the most memorable journalistic odysseys of our time.

Released from prison, Shadow finds his world turned upside down. His wife has been killed; a mysterious stranger offers him a job. But Mr. Wednesday, who knows more about Shadow than is possible, warns that a storm is coming—a battle for the very soul of America…and they are in its direct path. One of the most talked-about books of the new millennium, American Gods is a kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth and across an American landscape at once eerily familiar and utterly alien. It is, quite simply, a contemporary masterpiece.

May Selection-Deep Down Dark,
by Héctor Tobar – SOLD OUT
Presenter: Dr. David Howell
May 11, 2016
When the San José mine collapsed outside of Copiapó, Chile, in August 2010, it trapped 33 miners beneath thousands of feet of rock for a record-breaking 69 days. The entire world watched what transpired above-ground during the grueling and protracted rescue, but the saga of the miners' experiences below the Earth's surface—and the lives that led them there—has never been heard until now. Deep Down Dark brings to haunting, tactile life the experience of being imprisoned inside a mountain of stone, the horror of being slowly consumed by hunger, and the spiritual and mystical elements that surrounded working in such a dangerous place. In its stirring final chapters, it captures the profound way in which the lives of everyone involved in the disaster were forever changed.

June 1, 2016
In a run-down movie theater in central Massachusetts, three underpaid employees mop the floors and attend to one of the last 35 millimeter film projectors in the state. Their tiny battles and not-so-tiny heartbreaks play out in the empty aisles, becoming more gripping than the lackluster, second-run movies on screen. With keen insight and a finely-tuned comic eye, The Flick is a hilarious and heart-rending cry for authenticity in a fast-changing world. Winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for drama.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — First-round draft pick David Wilson had a lofty set of goals for his rookie season as a running back with the New York Giants.
Getting benched and ending up in coach Tom Coughlin's doghouse after just two carries wasn't on the list.
Wilson put himself in the "Chateau Bow-Wow" in the season opener last week when he fumbled at the Dallas 27 in the first quarter of a scoreless game. The Cowboys eventually won, 24-17.
The Virginia Tech product didn't get another carry after that. He only returned kickoffs the rest of the way.
While coaches have been reminding him to carry the ball high and tight since the fumble, no one has been harder on Wilson than himself.

Italian cream sodas have been deliciously popular over the past little while–and not only are they yummy to drink, they are really easy to make! I made them quite a bit this summer–at girls camp for our church, at our family trip to Lake Powell, and most recently we made them for our Back to School dinner.
Here's what you need to make your own Italian Cream Sodas:
- Ice
- Club Soda
- Flavored Syrup (it's fun to have a variety of your favorite flavors!)
- Half and half
- straws
- one-ounce measuring cups (I got some at Walmart)
I bought these bottles of flavored syrup at Orson Gygi in Salt Lake City. They were only about $4.99 for nearly 26 ounces of syrup–which is one of the best prices I found. They have tons of different flavors; our favorites were raspberry, peach, strawberry, vanilla, orange and watermelon.
I made a cute little printable to set up at the table so people know how to make their own Italian sodas! These are fun to put in a colorful frame for everyone to see. 🙂 I made both a simplified version and a more detailed version:
To download these printables, click on the download button below. The file includes both jpeg images and PDF files in 8×10 size. You'll need to unzip the files to be able to print them out.
All printables and downloads designed by The Crafting Chicks are for PERSONAL USE ONLY. Please do not alter or claim as your own. This file is not intended for resale, nor are the printed versions of this file. Feel free to link back to www.thecraftingchicks.com if you like our printables, and we'd appreciate a comment if you download. This file is zipped. To extract and use, right click on the file after download, and select extract all.
As you can see, the instructions are very simple. And honestly, you can add the syrup, cream and club soda in any order you want, but it's best to start with the ice.
Fill your cup halfway full of ice.
Add one ounce of flavored syrup. (This is according to your taste. Sometimes I added up to 2 ounces of syrup depending on the flavoring.) It's also yummy to mix flavors! For example, you could do part raspberry and part peach for a delicious combo. 🙂
Fill the cup the rest of the way with club soda.
Then you can add one ounce of half and half. This is optional but it gives it a nice creamy taste!
Be sure to stir it all up together to blend all of the flavors before you take a sip! These drinks are so pretty to look at and they taste delightful! Our favorite flavor combinations were raspberry peach, strawberry peach, orange and cream, strawberry vanilla, watermelon strawberry, etc.!
These were a bit hit with the young women at camp and of course with our family! Make some Italian cream sodas today! 😉

I have never done any trimming etc, and I'm wondering if that's the norm. I don't want to walk into appointments/labor etc looking overgrown. Are other people planning on trimming prior to delivery or sooner? I know O/Bs see all kinds of things, but I do worry. Sorry if TMI

Thanks so much
Negative antibody test
Thanks so much
Comments (10)
Good morning. My son's tests have come back negative also, but the doctor's say this is common. However, his neutrophils are zero. He's had the bone marrow test, and thank God it's not leukemia. After a conference with his hemotologist and other doctors and pathologists, they say he doesn't fit into the congenital or autoimmune neutropenia categories. So now we have no diagnosis and are looking for answers. But again, to answer your question, it's not unusual to have negative tests and still fall into the neutropenia categories.
Our hematologist did telll us that the anti-neutrophil antibody test does has many false negatives so that is why they test again if negative but i am not sure why your hematologist tested it again if you were already positive?
I am praying for a miracle too and for lives to return to normal.
I agree with rajpush....if it comes back positive, it's positive. There is no reason for the doctor to continue testing. You may get many negatives, and it still be AIN, but there aren't false positives.
Also, if it's been six weeks, it's probably not virus induced neutropenia. Go with your instints and get a second opinion.
The good news with AIN is it is outgrown most of the time by the age of 4. :)
I have a feeling its AIN too, but lets see how he does. Bad part- he's oly 11 months old, so we have a long way to go if truly AIN. My pediatrician said he has a patient with AIN and lives a normal life and no GCSF, if he gets sick he goes to the outpatient clinic and gets IV antibiotics but no hospital stays- he's not been that sick and risk is low with AIN.
My son's hematologist explained the positive and negative hits on the antibody test like this: Say you are at the fair and you go to the dunking booth. You can hit the bulls eye over and over again, but if you don't hit it just right, then the person won't fall in the water. Just because it is coming up negative, doesn't mean he is not positive. I was able to understand a little better this way. :)
I will ask my hematologist as well what it means and try to get you another prespective. We have had 2 negative tests but counts are still low and its been over 3 months and no diagnosis. So i hear you on getting some answers! I just wish our little ones would get better soon, but I guess we should be thankful and grateful for the good days!

One of the perks about living in the modern world is that doctors know more than they did in the 1900s. "The Knick" is about a doctor in the 1900s, exploring medicine in its nascent state. Not a lot was known about medicine as a formal science, but one thing that's for sure: it was bloody. Cinemax released a new trailer detailing as much for the hotly anticipated new show from director Steven Soderbergh. What's also notable about the umpteenth spot is it's the first in which we hear some dialogue, courtesy of Clive Owen.
There's still no release date for "The Knick" other than this summer, but watch below:

Game of Last Week: Ohio State 31 vs. Wisconsin 13, a match up of two Big 10 unbeaten teams turned instead into a rout and likely reaffirmed some voter's confidence in Ohio State, who may still have a shot at the BCS National Title game if enough pieces fall into place.
Game of Next Week: Wisconsin vs. Iowa, Wisconsin will again get a shot at a Big 10 unbeaten, hoping this time to knock off the team with the second longest winning streak in the nation.
Bowl Eligible Teams: None yet.
Big 12
Conference Leaders: Kansas (North Division; 5-0, 1-0) Texas (South Division; 5-0, 2-0)
Lurking: Nebraska (North Division; 4-1, 1-0)
Game of Last Week: Nebraska 27 vs. Missouri 12, a Thursday night game that featured one of the three match ups between ranked teams turned into a national coming out party for the Cornhuskers, now a legitimate contender for the Big 12 crown.
Game of Next Week: Texas vs. Oklahoma. Red River Shootout, need we say more?
Bowl Eligible Teams: None yet.
Big East
Conference Leader: Pittsburgh (5-1, 2-0)
Lurking: Cincinnati (5-0, 1-0)
Game of Last Week: Pittsburgh 24 vs. Connecticut 21. A match up of two one-loss Big East teams at the time, this close match up was among the best of the weekend, ending on a late 18-yard field goal to give the Panthers the win, and the conference lead.
Game of Next Week: Cincinnati vs. South Florida. A ranked match up in the Big East is unusual these days, so this Thursday night match up between two 5-0 teams will likely be these teams only chance to impress until bowl season.

Professor Robert Hazell
Position: Professor of Government and the Constitution
Room: B.17
Building: 29-30 Tavistock Square
Telephone: 0207 679 4971
Email: email@example.com
- Career
Robert Hazell was a late comer to academe, coming to UCL in 1995 at the age of 45. After degrees from Oxford in PPE and Law, he started his career as a barrister from 1973-75. He then joined the Home Office, and was a policy making civil servant from 1975 to 1989, working in immigration, police, prisons, broadcasting, race relations, drugs and criminal justice policy. He left Whitehall to become Director of the Nuffield Foundation for six years, and then left the Nuffield to found the Constitution Unit at UCL in 1995. He was given a personal chair as Professor of Government and the Constitution by UCL in 1999. In 2006 he was awarded the CBE for his services to constitutional reform. In 2009 Robert Hazell was awarded thePolitical Studies Communication Award for his work in developing and communicating the constitutional reform agenda.
" "Britain's constantly morphing constitutional landscape needs an ace cartographer to make sense of it, and in Robert Hazell it has found one" (Lord Hennessy)
The Constitution Unit is an independent think tank specialising in constitutional reform. In its first two years (1995-97) it published detailed reports on how to implement the opposition parties' proposals for devolution to Scotland and Wales; Lords reform; incorporation of the ECHR; voting reform; freedom of information; and the conduct of referendums. After the Labour government was elected in 1997 the Unit continued to do detailed work on how to plan and implement constitutional reforms, keeping one step ahead of the government's own constitutional reform programme. The Unit is the single largest centre of expertise on constitutional reform in the UK, and has published over 150 reports and research papers.
- Research
Robert's research interests cover the whole of the constitutional reform agenda. He has written widely on devolution in Scotland, Wales and the English regions; freedom of information; parliamentary reform and Lords reform; a British bill of rights; referendums; electoral reform; the Crown and royal prerogative; constitutional watchdogs; and the process of constitutional reform. He is a great believer in collaborative research and likes to build research teams around projects, and to write edited books rather than monographs.
He was director of the 1999-2005 Leverhulme funded research programme into the Dynamics of Devolution, which had 12 projects and 25 partners. He continued with some of the same partners to direct an ESRC and government funded project monitoring the latest developments in devolution (2006-2008). His last collaborative venture with 20 partners was forecasting the shape of the constitution in 2020. More recent work has studied the impact of Freedom of Information on Whitehall (ESRC 2007-2009), and on local government (ESRC 2009-2011), and on Parliament (Leverhulme 2009-2011).
Robert has been awarded around 50 major research grants. These include six grants from the ESRC, and research funds totalling over £5m from the Ministry of Justice, Cabinet Office, Scotland Office, Wales Office, Scottish government, and House of Commons; and from the Leverhulme Trust, Nuffield Foundation, Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, Gatsby Charitable Foundation, Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, Joseph Rowntree Foundation, Nuffield Trust, Pilgrim Trust.

- Hung Parliaments and Minority Government (Institute for Government, 2009)
- Impact of Freedom of Information on Whitehall (ESRC 2007-2009)
Robert has been commissioned to lead many research projects as a consultant. These are often collaborative and he has vast experience in all types of work.
- Evaluating the impact of Pre Appointment Scrutiny Hearings (Cabinet Office and House of Commons, 2009)
The Constitution Unit is at the centre of several national and international networks. Robert's research projects have included working in partnership with academics from the universities of Aberstwyth, Birmingham, Cardiff, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glamorgan, Glasgow, LSE, Manchester, Napier, Newcastle, Queen's Belfast, Swansea, Strathclyde, and Ulster. Overseas partners have included experts from the Australian National University, Queen's University Ontario, Victoria University Wellington. He is a member of the International Association of Constitutional Lawyers, the Political Studies Association, the Society of Legal Scholars and the International Association of Centres for Federal Studies (1999-2009).
- Impact
Policy impact
Robert has remained close to Whitehall, and continues to advise the civil service and the political parties on constitutional reform matters. He has served on four different government advisory bodies on freedom of information, and three times acted as Special Adviser to parliamentary committees. He has given evidence to numerous official bodies and parliamentary committees, and done consultancy for the House of Commons, House of Lords, Cabinet Office, Ministry of Justice, Information Commissioner, Scottish Parliament and World Bank.
The main policy changes which he has helped to influence include:
- Holding pre rather than post legislative referendums in 1997 on devolution in Scotland and Wales
- Defining the powers reserved rather than the powers devolved in the Scotland Act 1998, reversing the architecture of the Scotland Act 1978
- Reforming the House of Lords in stages, rather than a single big bang
- Establishing the Electoral Commission to supervise referendums and elections
- Introducing policy and development grants as part of the funding of political parties
- Making the case for the new Supreme Court
- Proposing a two stage referendum process before Scotland might become independent
- Encouraging the adoption of a proper Cabinet Manual for Whitehall.
Media Impact
Robert has written articles for all the main national newspapers, and is a regular contributor to Prospect. He has given frequent interviews for BBC Radio 4 (Today, World Tonight, World at One, Week at Westminster) and BBC TV (News at Ten, Newsnight) and ITN (C4 News), as well as overseas broadcasters (ABC, CBC, CNN, Sky etc).
In 2009 he was awarded the Political Studies Association's Communication Award for 'consistently working to develop the constitutional reform agenda, to communicate these ideas to government and more generally to inject academic rigour and principle into public debate'.

What the Queen said – and what she didn't say

Like his admired predecessor Tony Blair, David Cameron knows that the public have little interest in constitutional issues, so […]

About AFODENICThis loan is administered by AFODENIC, La Asociación para el Fomento al Desarrollo Nicaragua, a Kiva Field Partner based in Managua, Nicaragua. Founded in 1999, AFODENIC was created to promote the socio-economic and cultural development of sectors that are excluded from commercial banking. Integrating economic and human resources, AFODENIC offers affordable and adaptable financial services aimed at strengthening the family unit of their clients, who include students, producers, and micro- and small entrepreneurs from rural and urban areas. AFODENIC is a socially responsible institution engaged in society and making a positive impact on its professional partners and communities.
Supporting a borrower through AFODENIC contributes to the pursuit of innovation in mitigating poverty in Nicaragua. Visit AFODENIC's partner page for more information.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

Police remove possible grenade from Vt shopping plaza
MORRISTOWN Vermont State Police explosives experts have been trying to determine whether a hand grenade found in the drive-thru lane of a Morrisville restaurant was real or a novelty item.
Morrisville police said they were called to the Morrisville Shopping Plaza at about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday after receiving the report about the grenade outside a McDonalds restaurant.
When officers arrived they determined it was a completely assembled grenade.
Police shut down parts of Route 15, evacuated the plaza and called in the state police bomb squad.
State police experts made the device safe and removed it. They said they would X-ray it to see if it was real.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Morrisville police at 888-4211.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Incumbents, first-timers and perennial candidates have filed paperwork with their...

So excuse my n00bness when it comes to bikes as I am pretty unfamiliar...
But I have a Trek Multitrak 730 which has cantilever brakes. They're not in bad condition, but they are missing the little "link wire" piece that goes in between them. I can't find the link wire in very many places, if I do, I wouldn't know what length or type to get. Otherwise, I could just replace the cantilever brake system and get new ones...
I am assuming because of the way the older bike frames are designed, I wouldn't be able to upgrade to caliper style? Or what about the linear pull? I'm not sure how they bolt on and if the spacing if different and etc, I'm sure there are plenty of factors.
1. If I could get the link wire where would I find it and what size would I get (and how would I decide what size I need?)
2. Should I just get a new set of cantilever brakes?
3. If I'm willing to spend the money why not just upgrade if at all possible?
Thanks! I will continue to do research but any suggestions or links or pointers is appreciated. Thanks a bunch!

OBJECTIVES: To examine in an older population all-cause and cause-specific mortality associated with underweight (body mass index (BMI)<18.5), normal weight (BMI 18.5–24.9), overweight (BMI 25.0–29.9), and obesity (BMI≥30.0).
DESIGN: Cohort study.
SETTING: The Health in Men Study and the Australian Longitudinal Study of Women's Health.
PARTICIPANTS: Adults aged 70 to 75, 4,677 men and 4,563 women recruited in 1996 and followed for up to 10 years.
MEASUReMENTS: Relative risk of all-cause mortality and cause-specific (cardiovascular disease, cancer, and chronic respiratory disease) mortality.
RESULTS: Mortality risk was lowest for overweight participants. The risk of death for overweight participants was 13% less than for normal-weight participants (hazard ratio (HR)=0.87, 95% CI=0.78–0.94). The risk of death was similar for obese and normal-weight participants (HR=0.98, 95% CI=0.85–1.11). Being sedentary doubled the mortality risk for women across all levels of BMI (HR=2.08, 95% CI=1.79–2.41) but resulted in only a 28% greater risk for men (HR=1.28 (95% CI=1.14–1.44).
CONCLUSION: These results lend further credence to claims that the BMI thresholds for overweight and obese are overly restrictive for older people. Overweight older people are not at greater mortality risk than those who are normal weight. Being sedentary was associated with a greater risk of mortality in women than in men.

Images: Fort Campbell breaks ground for new injury center [Image 12 of 12]
Photo by Stacy Rzepka
Staff Sgt. Todd Domerese shares his story of traumatic brain injury and road to healing at a groundbreaking ceremony June 13 at Fort Campbell, Ky. for the third in a series of nine National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE) Satellite Centers designed to diagnose and treat traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress. Domerese explained how the TBI he received in combat dramatically changed his life and altered his behavior after returning home. The treatment Domerese received at the NICoE facility in Bethesda, Md. helped him regain psychological health. Domerese joined fellow Soldiers who have also received TBI treatment, military leaders, including Gen. Robert Cone, the Commanding General for the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, Brig. Gen. Mark Stammer, the Senior Mission Commander for the 101st Airborne Division and Fort Campbell and Blanchfield Army Hospital Commander Col. Paul R. Cordts, as well as leaders from the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund at the groundbreaking ceremony.

Amid ongoing speculation whether Seattle would land free-agent Prince Fielder, general manager Jack Zduriencik went a different route to address the club's glaring need for run production.
In a deal fraught with risk but teeming with potential reward, the Mariners are trading All-Star pitcher Michael Pineda to the Yankees in a package that will bring them power-hitting catcher Jesus Montero.
Amidst ongoing speculation whether Seattle would land free-agent Prince Fielder, general manager Jack Zduriencik went a different route to address the club's glaring need for run production. The Mariners have had the worst offense in the majors the past two years.
The deal, which still requires physicals from the participants to become official, also involves two right-handed pitchers. The Mariners will send highly regarded 19-year-old prospect Jose Campos to the Yankees. Seattle will receive 24-year-old Hector Noesi, who appeared in 30 games for the Yankees last year (all but two in relief) with a 4.47 earned-run average.
The Mariners are declining comment on the deal until it becomes official.

Montero has been frequently compared to Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera, but he has been nagged by questions about his defense behind the plate. Some scouts believe he will eventually wind up as a first baseman/designated hitter.
In a tweet Friday night, Bergen Record columnist Bob Klapisch quoted Yankees general manager Brian Cashman saying, "To me, Montero is Mike Piazza. He's Miguel Cabrera."
Both key players are 22, though Pineda turns 23 next week, and Montero's 23rd birthday isn't until November. Pineda has a full season in the majors, which resulted in a 9-10 record in 2011, a 3.74 ERA and 173 strikeouts, more than any other American League rookie. In July, Pineda became just the second rookie pitcher in Mariners history to make the All-Star team, pitching a scoreless inning in Phoenix.
Montero's major-league experience is limited to 18 games with the Yankees this past September, but he showed flashes of the potent bat that caused Baseball America to rank him as the No. 3 prospect in MLB heading into last season. Montero hit .328 with four homers, 12 runs batted in, a .406 on-base percentage and .590 slugging percentage in that brief showcase.
Noesi, a starter throughout the minors who won 14 games in 2010, could compete for a job in Seattle's starting rotation. But the centerpiece of the deal from the Mariners' standpoint is clearly Montero, who they hope will become a fixture in the middle of their order.
In five minor-league seasons in the Yankees' system, Montero had a .308 average with a .366 on-base percentage and .501 slugging percentage. He had 76 home runs in 1,852 at-bats, with a high of 21 homers at Class AAA in 2010.
Pineda, meanwhile, seemed to wear down as last season progressed. He was 8-6 with a 3.03 ERA in 18 starts before the All-Star break, striking out 113 in 113 innings. In 10 starts after the break, he was 1-4 with a 5.12 ERA, but still struck out 60 in 58 innings.
The Mariners — who steadfastly refused the Yankees' continuing overtures for Felix Hernandez — believe they are operating from a position of strength when it comes to pitching in their farm system.
They believe that potential top-of-the-rotation replacements for Pineda are brewing in the form of Danny Hultzen, last year's No. 2 overall draft pick, and 2010 first-rounder Taijuan Walker, along with lefty James Paxton, a former first-round pick by Toronto.
But their farm system was far more barren when it came to hitting prospects, and Montero has long intrigued them. Zduriencik nearly consummated a deal for Montero in July 2010 that would have sent Cliff Lee to New York.
The two sides had agreed on the players, with Montero, second-base prospect David Adams and pitcher Zach McAllister set to come to Seattle for Lee. But the Mariners didn't like the medical reports on Adams, who was having ankle issues. They reportedly asked for the trade to be reworked, with infielder Eduardo Nunez or pitcher Ivan Nova replacing Adams. The Yankees said no.
"Oh, I had him," Cashman told The Times last February, referring to Lee. "The medicals didn't work out, so they (the Mariners) jumped off, and Texas jumped in."
The Mariners instead ended up consummating a trade that sent Lee and reliever Mark Lowe to the Rangers for first baseman Justin Smoak, pitchers Blake Beavan and Josh Lueke, and infielder Matt Lawson. Lueke has since been traded to Tampa Bay, and Lawson retired after being dealt to Cleveland for since-departed reliever Aaron Laffey.
Beavan will compete for a spot in Seattle's rotation this spring, while the Mariners hope to reap the benefits of having both Smoak and Montero in the lineup.
It is not known what the ramifications of this deal will be for Seattle's pursuit of Fielder. But they didn't add any payroll in acquiring Montero and Noesi, both making close to the minimum salary — as is Pineda.

When I adapt a recipe to gluten free I have to be very careful of the finished product being dry. It could be cookies, cake, quick bread etc.
I know each ingredient has it's own affect on the finished item but is there a general guideline?
I read in the various recipes blogs and reviews that potato flakes or potato flour will help keep the moisture. Look at the Golden Pull Apart Buns recipe which calls for those ingredients. The discussions and KAF replies explain that.
Each ingredient certainly does contribute it's own function in baking. Ingredients that add moisture/tenderness to baked goods include some dry sugars (brown, granulated white, etc.), liquid sugars (honey, molasses, corn syrup, etc) eggs (specifically egg yolks) and fats (oil, butter, shortening, etc). Certain flours will contribute more tenderness and moistness than others. For instance, pastry flour will yield a softer, less brittle baked good than bread flour.
Honey, ground or pureed raisins are especially good, other fruit purees like applesauce and pearsauce (made in the food processor), dates and bananas if appropriate, sour cream and perhaps pumpkin and pureed carrot, also try fruit nectars like pear.
I know this sounds kinda strange, and I don't know if it's gluten free, but a cake baker I worked with always added 2 tbsp of mayo (not miracle whip) to her cake batters. She had the most delicious, moist cakes I ever tasted. I guess, basically, it's eggs and oil, right?
Mayonnaise in a chocolate cake is a classic recipe, it makes for a really moist cake. That's supposed to be the secret behind the chocolate cake at Portillo's restaurants in Chicago.
I haven't seen enough GF cake recipes to know if there are ones that call for mayonnaise, but off the top of my head I don't know why it couldn't be added.
Bocca would be more informed on whether commercial mayonnaise is gluten free, but there's nothing in most homemade mayonnaise recipes that has gluten in it: Egg, oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, spices (usually just mustard powder.)
When I use buttermilk in baked goods, I find a noticeable difference in texture from when I use other liquids. For example, whenever I make a regular loaf of bread with buttermilk, the crumb is more tender and moist than one made with milk. And the loaf itself even slices better - it's not crumbly at all. In fact, I used to buy potato flour for this very reason - to avoid dry crumbly bread. Now, I no longer need the potato flour since I always have buttermilk in. Plus, I love baking with buttermilk. In addition to the baking qualities, there is just something so wholesome about it.
Well gluten free flour blends tend to contain a rice flour, cornstarch, tapioca flour and potato starch so in that area I'm covered. If I use too much coconut flour dryness is a major factor which means I use more eggs which give almost a custard feeling to the quick bread.
I can't increase sugar much as with most baking recipes too much is well just too much!
I was wondering if one is making a cake and let's say it isn't gluten free and you add more egg to it, will the cake be more tender but what are there other effects to watch out for?
So I guess what I should ask is if there is a guide to if I increase this, the good effects can be this (fill in the blank) but the bad effects to watch out for is (fill in the blank).
Ah, buttermilks a great idea.
Bocca, I'm sure you know this (but I didn't until recently and others might not, either) but not all buttermilk is certified as gluten free by the dairy that makes it. I've seen at least one locally that lists 'modified food starch' on the label, and it is NOT on the 'gluten free' list on their website.
Buttermilk powder appears to be fine, though.
Mike, thank you for bringing this up. I had no idea that buttermilk could possibly contain gluten. I just naturally assumed that it was okay - big mistake. bocca, I do apologize - I am so sorry! If it's any help, I checked my buttermilk carton (Friendship brand).
Here is a list of the ingredients:
Cultured pasteurized grade A reduced fat milk
Concentrated skim milk
Vitamin A palmitate
Vitamin D3 and Enzyme
It sounds like that one is OK.
I've checked 4 or 5 brands of buttermilk at stores (not just in Nebraska) and so far I've only found one that listed modified food starch as an ingredient, and that's the one that excludes their buttermilk from their 'gluten free' list on their website. (Sorry, I don't remember the brand at the moment, it's one available in Nebraska but not the brand I currently have on hand.)
OH GOOD GRIEF! I never ever thought to check the buttermilk label and I tell everyone to check labels and check them every time you shop! GAH
Darigold is great because they label gluten free in an easy to find place. Some gf labels are useless because I can't find them.
Oh and I did find out the hard way, not all gluten free labels are really a gluten free product. Tried a seasoning mix that said gluten free and it took me 2 weeks to recover. Thats why I've been so very tired lately, still struggling with fatigue (its as though I can't consume enough iron).
Calico no apologies needed. It should be a naturally gluten free food! Why manufactures need gluten in there is beyond me.
Sorry to hear that, you should report that one to the FDA.
If there's a general purpose guide to this, I haven't found it yet.
I've been thinking about this question for several days.
The challenge is that it usually takes several different products to replace the structural function of the wheat, and a number of them have effects other than producing that structure, so it's a delicate balancing act that I haven't figured out yet.
I doubt I'll ever write a cookbook on gluten-free baking (especially now that Peter Reinhart is doing one), but if I did, I think the opening sentence might be:
Most of what you think you know about bread baking is now wrong!
A friend with celiacs told me that Walmart requires all its suppliers to label everything either "gluten free" or "contains wheat". Is that true?
I suspect there are still thousands of food products at WalMart that don't contain either notation on their labels.
Whether they will succeed in forcing all their suppliers to change their labelling in this manner (which may or may not comply with US labeling standards) remains to be seen.
I've not tried mayo before but that is a good thing to remember.
Mike I am looking forward to his book, a person that truly knows great bread I am hoping knows what gf bread needs.
I am going to use this "The challenge is that it usually takes several different products to replace the structural function of the wheat".
That is the best way I've heard it put and that really is the issue. In cakes, cookies, quick breads I like to add in coconut to help replace that structure, especially the flour or the dry.
Food labeling is a great frustration to me. Some companies just don't cooperate, some lie, some are hard to read, some don't make it clear to understand!!!
The best labels are the ones that talk about why they went gluten free and how their products are tested.
Some companies like Sara Lee or McCormick say that if it's in the product then it's on the label. While I am not advocating packaged foods most of us do need them it is helpful to know which companies you can trust.
In my limited foray in this area, I don't understand why they would just put "modified food starch" if it is not wheat. Some people would be able to buy that product if they were more clear. Others have to be verrrry careful. I met a lady at the local farmer's market who sells gf goods. Her teenage son had to suffer a stroke before the doctors in central NY "got it". The kid is fine, but why go through all the stress and money spent in the health care system when it could have been prevented? And he was showing neurological signs but the doctors poo poohed it.
I think one time when this came up on the OBC, someone posted that they had written the manufacturer of a product and the response was along the lines of "We use whatever starch we can get at the time, sometimes it is wheat based, sometimes it isn't".
I was looking at some products at the co-op yesterday, I noticed that several were using a notation of "modified food starch (corn)".
Good idea. And Mike, I asked on the old BC, could you tell me how to use the garbanzo flour to thicken gravy. What proportion of it to water to drippings? I bought the flour today. Also, what can I use this flour for other than thickener?
The standard ratio for making a roux is 1 part flour to 1 part fat, by weight. A roux made with 3 tablespoons of butter and 4 tablespoons of flour will thicken 1 to 1 1/2 cups of liquid (depending on how thick you want it.)
When using drippings, I sort of have to guess how much fat there is.
Garbanzo bean flour doesn't have quite the thickening power that wheat flour does, so it takes a bit more flour relative to the amount of fat.
However, as bocca noted, using too much garbanzo bean flour can result in a 'beany' taste.
IMHO, this is more of an issue when making something with a delicate taste, like a Bechamel or Mornay sauce, than when making gravy. However, I once made two cheese souffles (to serve 8), one using wheat flour for the Bechamel and one using garbanzo bean flour. None of us could tell which was which.
Sometimes I use a mixture of half garbanzo bean flour and half tapioca flour. (I think tapioca flour all by itself makes a gravy that is too gummy, and I don't normally use cornstarch when making gravy because my son doesn't like the taste of cornstarch unless it is thoroughly cooked.)
Thanks, Mike. Instructions printed for my new "GF" file!
Start a separate topic on 'uses for garbanzo bean flour', that might provoke some interesting discussion.
If I make anything with coconut, I usually get to eat it all, because neither my wife nor my younger son (who still lives with us) like coconut.
I get all the coconut candies in the boxes, too, along with the raspberry ones (because my wife is allergic to red raspberry).
Chopped apples! I made 80 Caramel Apple cookies last night and they're just about fused into one giant cookie today. The apple seems to melt them.
Along the buttermilk line, I made a cake the other day that was primarily whole wheat pastry flour, which can sometimes make the cake a bit dry, but I used a bit of kefir in it and it was very nice and moist (of course it also had fresh, ground up cranberries in it, too!). I do think the cultured milk products help with moisture, also have heard the potato tip, and honey of course.
This sounds good, love the cranberries!
Well I tried converting a cupcake type quick bread to gluten free and it was too moist/dense/heavy.
It is a fine line as to how much leavening to increase along with keeping the moisture correct.
Oh well, tasted good.
Mike I have the flour but am cautious to use it. I would be interested in seeing recipes using more of it though as it really does help with the body of gluten free baked goods.
Most of my GF conversions have wound up being heavy and taking a long time to bake, but unfortunately not all of them tasted good.
However, I bought a loaf of rice bread from the co-op a while back, cardboard would have tasted better!
If bread baking is a combination of art and science, I think science holds all the trump cards in GF baking.
Paddy, I've made so many apple cakes that were mushy the next day. The moisture from the apples leach out into the baked product and I can see what happened to your cookies.
My favorite apple cake has a glossy, slightly crunchy top on the first day but not the second.
Honestly, I don't know of a remedy for this. You may never try that recipe again but if you do, I wonder if putting half the dough in the frig and baking only as much as you need, if that would help.

Well, about half of them were pitched out and replaced by a simple butter cookie from Dorie Greenspan's book.

Paul Sancya, Associated Press
BOSTON — When he was running for Massachusetts governor in 2002, Mitt Romney's campaign courted voters at a Boston Gay Pride weekend by handing out fliers proclaiming "All citizens deserve equal rights, regardless of sexual preference."
Just a year later, Romney emerged as a leading voice against gay marriage, opposing the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court's ruling overturning the ban on same-sex marriage.
With his positions evolving on everything from abortion to gay rights, stem cell research to health care, Romney has prompted charges of political opportunism from Republicans and Democrats alike.
In a Web video last month, Texas Gov. Rick Perry highlighted Romney's shifts on health care and illegal immigration and reminded voters, "You cannot lead a nation by misleading the people."
Romney's answer from Wednesday's debate: "I think people understand that I'm a man of steadiness and constancy."
To counter the criticism, he said he's been married to the same woman for four decades, has been a member of the same church his entire life and worked at one company for 25 years.
Romney — who is leading opinion polls in the GOP race — hopes that the argument will help him get beyond what dogged his 2008 campaign.
This time, the electorate's focus on the troubled economy may overshadow Romney's shifts. The former venture capitalist and Harvard Business School alumnus is counting on it as he plays up his business experience.
"With the economy being the absolutely overriding issue, even in the GOP primaries where the social conservatives are typically in control, maybe he's finally found an election cycle that plays to his sweet spot," said Boston University communications professor Tobe Berkovitz. "The planets are all lining up."
Still, Perry and Romney's other rivals portray him as a political chameleon — and probably will try again during Saturday night's debate in South Carolina.
Romney's history offers plenty of fodder, beginning with his gradual about-face on abortion.
During his first foray into politics — a failed 1994 campaign against incumbent Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy — Romney said that while he was personally opposed to abortion, he believed the procedure "should be safe and legal."
Romney said his personal beliefs had no place in the race and his commitment to legal abortion stemmed from the death of a close relative during an illegal procedure.
Eight years later, as he was running for governor, Romney again pledged he would do nothing to change abortion rights laws in Massachusetts.
Then in 2005, after vetoing a bill that would have given rape victims access to emergency contraception at hospitals or through their pharmacists — a veto he said honored his pledge not to change the state's abortion laws — Romney declared himself "pro-life" in an editorial in the Boston Globe.
"I believe that abortion is the wrong choice except in cases of incest, rape, and to save the life of the mother," Romney wrote. "I wish the people of America agreed, and that the laws of our nation could reflect that view."
Romney has since said in a recent National Review editorial that he supports a reversal of Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion, "because it is bad law and bad medicine."
Melissa Kogut, the former executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts, remembers meeting with Romney while he was still a candidate for governor. During the meeting, Kogut said Romney argued he could be a more moderate Republican voice on abortion.
"They know that this is killing them," Kogut recalls Romney saying of the political implications.
