Sharpsburg considers replacing brick sidewalks with cement
Long-and short-term fixes for deteriorating sidewalks along part of Main Street in Sharpsburg are in the works.
Officials voted to have Borough Engineer Robert Zischkau prepare a bid package to replace the bricks along the river side of Main Street with cement.
While that project gets underway, property owners also have asked for replacement bricks to improve safety and prevent any issues with liability.
The crumbling bricks, which were paid for with money from the Federal Emergency Management Agency after flooding in the borough, were installed about nine years ago.
The company that provided the bricks, R.I. Lampus of Springdale, has agreed to provide new bricks for free but will not pay for installation.
The property owners are required to pay for costs related to maintaining sidewalks.
Officials met with property owners to discuss the project during a town hall meeting last week. The property owners indicated they would prefer cement sidewalks.
Joel Weiss, who owns several properties in the area, said that bricks are not practical.
"If you want the community to really look good, then cement is the proper thing to do," Weiss said.
Councilman Matthew Rudzki said it is important for the sidewalks to be consistent no matter what the property owners decide.
"We need to get everyone on the same page so Main Street maintains its uniformity," Rudzki said.
Borough officials will prepare a set of specifications along with representatives from the property owners that will be used for the project.
Borough secretary Jan Barbus said property owners can submit the number of replacement bricks they would like to have, and she will contact the borough engineer to get a temporary solution started.
"We can at least get that started with the replacement bricks," Barbus said.

Funding Opportunities
Sleep and Social Environment: Basic Biopsychosocial Processes (R21)Funding Number: RFA-HD-12-204
Funding Type: RFA
Release Date: July 18, 2011
Expiration Date: October 1, 2011
Web Site: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HD-12-204.html
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) issued by the Basic Behavioral and Social Sciences Research Opportunity Network (OppNet), National Institutes of Health (NIH), solicits Research Project Grant (R21) applications from institutions/organizations that propose to investigate the reciprocal interactions of the processes of sleep and circadian regulation and function with behavioral and social environment processes. Sleep is a complex biological phenomenon that is essential to normal behavioral and social functioning, as well as optimal health. In spite of its vital nature, the mechanisms by which social environment factors affect sleep behavior patterns have not been studied systematically, especially within the context of individual vulnerabilities and resilience. There is a need for greater understanding of the dynamic relationships between behavioral and social environment factors on the one hand and the basic mechanisms of sleep-wake and circadian regulation and function on the other. This FOA is not intended to support research on or development of treatments or interventions for disorders of sleep or circadian rhythms.

I'm guessing the new parking lot law has far more impact on the population than the watercraft law. Since we couldn't get campus carry or open carry or anything really significant, this is still pretty good. Then again, I AM a CHL holder and I DON'T own a boat. So I can legally carry, 99.9999% of the time.
From my non-law degree having perspective, House Bill 25 looks to pretty much be the Motor Protectionist Act directed at watercraft.
Gratz to all the non-CHL holding boat owners who now can legally carry on their boats, in their cars, and in their homes and the businesses they own.
Also, if you are a non-CHL holder who enjoys carrying on your boat, in your car, in your home, and business you own....you might as well man up and GET A TEXAS CHL.

"House Bill 25 by state Representative Ryan Guillen (D-Rio Grande City) and state Senator Dan Patrick (R-Houston) will extend the right to carry a handgun to your boat or personal watercraft without needing a Concealed Handgun License a right which law-abiding Texans currently enjoy in their private motor vehicles. For many, these vessels especially on weekends in some parts of the state are, for all practical purposes, an extension of ones home. It will remain an offense under HB 25 if the handgun is not hidden from plain view, the person in possession is engaged in criminal activity or a member of a criminal street gang, or the person is not eligible to possess the firearm under state or federal law.

2012 JGC Overland Price/What's a good deal?
Hi Everyone,
I am new here and have joined because I am hoping to buy a 2012 JGC Overland. I have found the exact one I want and am hoping to work out a good deal with my salesman, however they are being kind of smug and I would appreciate some feedback as to what everyone here believes would be a good price on a fully loaded Overland.
The car is Black with Light Frost Beige interior and comes with all the great standard features plus all the options available on this model (or so I'm told). It's MSRP is $48,305 and the dealership has given me the price of $44,770. Now I've purchased cars in the past where I have been able to get great deals, including a deal I made on a brand new Cadillac that I was able to get 7k off of list price. I feel the dealership can do better, especially since it's end of month, end of quarter and the 2013 will be out soon and the 2014 shortly after in early 2013. Any advice is welcome, you all have a great forum going here and I hope to be a part of it real soon. Thanks!
Here is a snapshot of part of the window sticker which shows the options that are on this Overland.
Customer Preferred Package 24P
Advanced Warning and Adaptive Cruise $1,295
Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path
Adaptive Speed Control
Forward Collision Warning
Chrome Edition Group by Mopar(R) $995

Total Price: $48,305 1st Price Offer Dealership has given me: $44,770
Re: 2012 JGC Overland Price/What's a good deal?
I paid 40,300 for my 12 with everything but the V8. I think you could get them to the high 42's- real low 43's.
Re: 2012 JGC Overland Price/What's a good deal?
Mine was equipped differently than yours so not sure how much this helps, but I paid $40,000 + tax title license for my 2012 Overland V6 with saddle interior and adaptive cruise package.
Re: 2012 JGC Overland Price/What's a good deal?
My 2012 Overland, White w/Black interior, V8, with advance warning/adaptive cruise had a msrp of $47,310. I paid dealer invoice ($44,358) minus dealer holdback ($1,395) minus Jeep rebate ($1,000) for a total of $41,963 plus TT&L. Like the above post stated, with the 2013's coming out real soon, and even though the one you are interested in has the Chrome Edition Group, you should still get it for what I paid plus TT&L. Good luck.
Re: 2012 JGC Overland Price/What's a good deal?
Ask to see the dealer invoice. It they say no. Walk out.
Re: 2012 JGC Overland Price/What's a good deal?
Re: 2012 JGC Overland Price/What's a good deal?
If you rather do some homework instead of demanding the invoice, you can go to edmunds.com and perhaps KBB and get a pretty good idea of the dealer invoice. Jeep dealers often sell at or close to invoice because there is holdback (Chrysler gives them ~$1400 I think quarterly if they are good boys).
Does the figure the dealer gave include all rebates? If not, then it sounds close to invoice which is a pretty good deal coming cold off the street. If you can find an equivalent model, color don't care, at a competing dealer you can suggest/leverage that you are trying to decide where the best deal is. Otherwise, if its the vehicle you want, well its only money :).
Re: 2012 JGC Overland Price/What's a good deal?
Hey everyone, Thanks for the replies!
I have seen the invoice, which is 45k. I offered the dealer 40k, I know, lowball, but better to go in low, work up and finish somewhere in closer to that than closer to their price. I'd love to go to another dealer, but unfortunately no other dealers in my area have the exact vehicle I want.
@BobsWK2: The price you paid for your vehicle is the price I am looking for. When the salesman ask if I wanted the running boards and I replied yes, why? He said, "well I could always take them off to get closer to your price." Can you believe that?! How did you get your dealer to take off the holdback?
@gc4x4: Already walked out man, last night. They wouldn't budge from $44,770, except for a few hundred dollars. I know These are great cars, but come on, they can do better than that. I have bought a Cadillac, Volvo, and Jaguar before and haven't had this much trouble.
@ColdCase: You are right, it is only money! Just trying to decide if it is better in my pocket, or theirs.
Again, thanks every body for the great feedback. I'll keep you all updated.
Re: 2012 JGC Overland Price/What's a good deal?
@BobsWK2: Also, would you mind sharing what dealership you purchased your Overland from?
Re: 2012 JGC Overland Price/What's a good deal?
Re: 2012 JGC Overland Price/What's a good deal?
Usually a dealer won't give up the holdback. If they will sell it to you for 44700 and invoice is 45 that's a good price. Dealers are not hurting right now sales have been pretty good. You really need to be reasonable, if a dealer sells below invoice and then gives up the holdback there is no profit. The only way this will happen is if the manufacture is giving an incentive to meet a sales target otherwise forget it. I would take the price just below invoice and be happy.

Belgian firm unveils new Top Gun flight simulator
By Ben Deighton
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - A Belgian company has unveiled the ultimate fighter jet training tool, a fully immersive 360-degree flight simulator designed to reproduce reality exactly as a pilot sees it.
The dome is the first flight simulator to give trainee pilots a full unobstructed 360 degree view of the world as they conduct virtual missions, said Barco, a maker of high-definition projectors and displays.
"It's not an improvement, it's a new generation of simulators," Geert Matthys, research and development manager at the company, said.
"If a pilot has a cockpit where he can see 360 degrees, he also needs to be trained in a system which supplies 360 degrees, all deviation from real life can be dangerous," said Matthys.
The simulator can be used in a series, with several pilots working together to play out complex training missions such as mid-air refueling.
"For the first application there will be eight systems positioned next to each other and they will do mission training with each other," said project manager Kathy Verledens.
It can also train up pilots for solo sorties.
The development team has taken since 2009 to get the device just right. Continued...

This is one of the youngest squads since the Padres have been at Fort Wayne. Do you see that as a permanent direction?
Grady Fuson: Well your direction is always governed by what happened in the draft last year. We took several very polished college players such as (Matt) Antonelli, (Craig) Cooper and (Chad) Huffman who we thought had a lot of ability and they have done nothing to change our minds so we moved them up to Lake Elsinore. Really it just depends what the breakdown of the draft is between college and high school.
Second round pick Kyler Burke has a tremendous amount of talent but struggled last year in the Arizona League. What did he improve on in the Instructional League and in Spring Training to make the Fort Wayne roster?
Grady Fuson: Taking a high school player is always a bit of a risk, but we made it a mission to really work with him in the Instructional Leagues and in Spring Training. We've invested a lot in him and we really like his ability. He had a tremendous camp and we owe it to him and everyone else to see what he can do. Things can change, but he earned his spot in camp and hit the ball as hard and consistently as anyone.
Two of the better pitchers in the organization, Aaron Breit and Drew Miller will be in Fort Wayne this year, what are you looking for each of them to improve?
Grady Fuson: The main thing is getting them out there every fifth day, repeating their delivery and just hitting spots. Really it's what you try to work on with every young pitcher, consistency.

Madfrias.com Top Prospect in Fort Wayne: OF Cedric Hunter (#3)
Pitching: Two of the Padres better pitching prospects Breit, 21, (#13) and Miller, 21, (#19) will be in Fort Wayne this year. Both are tall, lanky and can bring the heat in the low-90s consistently. Breit is the little more polished of the two, while Miller may have the bigger upside. Culp is another one of the seemingly myriad of "finesse" lefties that the Padres have who had varying degrees of success with the Wizards last year. Some of his struggles, as was with Underwood who was shutdown midway through the season in Eugene, were due to fatigue from long college seasons. Lara put together a solid season in Eugene only allowing 37 hits in 47.1 innings while striking out 59 against 14 walks.
The bullpen will have some solid arms in Dunn, Frieri and Valdez – with Dunn a possibility to move into the starting rotation before the season ends. Finally, one of the better free agent signings that the Padres had in 2006 was closer R.J. Rodriguez out of Bethune-Cookman College who led Eugene with 14 saves. He went 2-3 with a 1.78 ERA, allowing only 23 hits and six earned runs in 30.1 innings in Eugene. He fanned 27 against five walks.
Position Players: All discussions about Fort Wayne this year are going to start with Hunter, 19, who rose rapidly up the Padres' prospect charts with a great debut season in Arizona hitting 371/.467/.484 and reaching base safely in his first 48 games. While there is a lot to like, there are still questions that Hunter will have to answer in first full professional season, namely can he play centerfield and how will he fare against the superior competition of the Midwest League, as compared to the second tier draft picks he went against last year. The rest of the team will be very young, featuring Burke, 19, who was the Padres' #2 selection in the 2006 draft but had a bad year in the Arizona League last year, hitting .209/.313/.294. Burke, however, impressed the team enough in the Instructional Leagues and Spring Training to win a spot on the team. If he can put it together he is a legitimate five-tool talent. Carter, 24, and Diaz, 23, will split time in left. Diaz is a solid player, a career .310/.391/.402 hitter, should rotate with Hunter in center and left field and hit leadoff when he is in the lineup. Having a fourth outfielder like Michael Campbell should help - he can play multiple positions as well.
Contreras, 20, hit in the AZL last year, .316/.389/.439 but not in the Midwest League, .105/.150/.105 in 38 ABs. He'll get another chance this year. Jones, 21, returns to Fort Wayne after an up-and-down season and should share time at 1B/DH with Hunt, who had a big year in on the Padres' Championship team in the Arizona League. King, 22, a former batting star in college but struggled last year in Eugene, will be at second with Lopez, 19, one of the better defensive shortstops in the system.
Hernandez, 23, is a solid defensive catcher but is going to have to hit for more than he showed last year in the Arizona League .258/.324/.301.
|Daryl Jones practices his swing in Peoria, AZ during Spring Training.
Under the Radar: Late round pick first baseman Jeremy Hunt out of Villanova hit well .323/.423/.500, but got stuck behind Craig Cooper in Eugene and played most of the season in Arizona. The Tampa native hit led the Big East Conference in home runs (15) and slugging percentage (.743) while batting .385 with 56 RBIs. Hunt, a former college pitcher, at 6-foot-3, 220-pounds has good size and power and may get some opportunities in the outfield to provide him with some other options besides first base.
Outlook: One of the youngest teams the Padres have ever put in Fort Wayne and potentially one of the most talented. They should get better as the year progresses. Because of their youth, the majority of the team should be together for most of the year and Hunter, Burke, Breit and Miller all have legitimate shots to be in the majors one day.

|Photo by Del Rapier ©2009
In those 11 years I've done quite a bit in the world of activism working towards equality for everyone in our community. I've been the treasurer and board member for Southern Oregon GLSEN; the librarian for the San Diego Gay and Lesbian Center, North County, back when they had a North County location; I helped to open the Hillcrest Youth Center; I've taken part in many panels for LGBTQ parents and have spoken to many a college classes about just being me. I've also marched in many Gay Pride parades and ridden with Dykes On Bikes for several of those parades.
The one thing that I noticed within this community, and others, is the infighting that happens that does nothing but separate us. What confuses me is that the people who participate in the infighting don't seem to see it as something that separates our community. I remember constantly asking myself within all of my years of activism, "Aren't we supposed to be working together? We're never going to get anywhere if we continue to fight amongst ourselves. Put that energy towards the fight."
Among the lesbians in my community there are many who feel that we all need to be a certain way. I think "normal" is the word they tend to use. Their idea of normal has always excluded me. Specially amongst the feminists. I am a feminist in the sense that I fight for equality between genders. But for many feminists, I look like a man, therefore, I am some how against everything that feminism is fighting for. That by being butch, using that word as an identity, claiming it as an identity, perpetuates the patriarchal control. Through their eyes, I in no way shape or form help women or lesbians become liberated from such control.
This has always confused and frustrated me. While I can see their side of it and understand where they're coming from, I certainly don't see them looking at it from my side. I am not conforming to patriarchal control. I, in my own way, snub the idea of patriarchal control by being myself. By simply existing and claiming my space, defining myself and encouraging others to do the same.
No one can be liberated until we all are liberated.
We are a community of people fighting for equality and we will never win the fight until we can accept each other as equals and work together.
This morning I came across an article that hits the nail directly on the head in regards to this very idea. Please take a moment to click over and read Ivan Coyote's piece about this on xtra.ca. I really couldn't have said it better myself.
"To meet the challenge of our times, human beings will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. Each of us must learn to work not just for his, or her, own self, family or nation, but for the benefit of all mankind." – His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive: The Directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment 2002/95/EC ( listen (help·info); commonly referred to as the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive or RoHS) was adopted in February 2003 by the European Union.[1] The RoHS directive took effect on 1 July 2006, and is required to be enforced and become law in each member state. This directive restricts the use of six hazardous materials in the manufacture of various types of electronic and electrical equipment. It is closely linked with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) 2002/96/EC which sets collection, recycling and recovery targets for electrical goods and is part of a legislative initiative to solve the problem of huge amounts of toxic e-waste. In speech, RoHS is often spelled out, or pronounced /ˈrɒs/, /ˈrɒʃ/, /ˈroʊz/, /ˈroʊhɒz/.

The Samsung Series 3 Chromebook 303C is Samsung's latest take on Google's Chromebook laptop design. Chromebooks are Google's vision of the future of ultra-mobile laptops. Available for incredibly low prices often with in-built 3G they offer a highly affordable and portable way to get all your basic computing tasks done. The trick to their cheapness is that they run Google's own ChromeOS - which is essentially a web browser within which all apps run - rather than use an expensive Windows license.
Taking on the likes of the Microsoft Surface, the Samsung Series 3 Chromebook XE303C12, to give it its full model number, packs an awful lot of goodies for a mere £230. For that money, you get a laptop with an 11.6-inch HD Ready screen, a speedy 1.7GHz ARM processor backed by 2GB of RAM (similar to many high-end smartphones), a full-size keyboard and glass touchpad, HD webcam, and advanced connectivity like USB 3.0 and HDMI. Potential galore then, but does this Google Chromebook live up to expectations?
The Chromebook 303C punches far above its weight when it comes to looks. Honestly, we wouldn't be surprised to see a product that cost three times as much looking this good. It's difficult to go wrong with a matt, metallic-silver finish, and only the slightly odd raised hinge along with the colourful Chrome logo break up the sleek lines.
Opening the Series 3 Chromebook up, things only get better. In fact, this Samsung laptop could at first, casual glance be mistaken for an Apple product. We have the same minimalist silver interior and nicely laid out black Chiclet keyboard. Even the large 'button-less' touchpad and the cut-out underneath it look similar.
Sleek, tapering lines help to make this XE303C12 look incredibly slim, and as the majority of its connectivity is found around the rear (a matter of form over function in our book), the sides are mostly kept nice and clean.
Build quality isn't quite as impressive, but it's good enough – and, when you're talking about a sub-£300 laptop, that's realistically about all you can expect. The plastics used feel solid but, partially to keep weight and slimness down too, are a little on the thin side.
While the base and lid are fairly solid, the screen bezel feels a tad fragile and flexes easily. The hinge housing also has a little more give than we'd like though the hinge action itself is reassuringly graded. If you twist enough it's even possible to flex the entire base, but again this is not unexpected considering the price and slimness.
One of the best things about this 11.6-inch laptop is just how portable it is. At a gram shy of 1.1kg, it puts most netbooks and Ultraportables to shame, and it shouldn't be a problem carrying this wee machine around all day.
Keeping in mind how slim and affordable the XE303C12 is, connectivity can safely be called 'superb'. Unfortunately, 90 percent of it is located at the Chromebook's rear, which we already complained about with the likes of the Acer Aspire S5 and for the exact-same reasons: it makes USB devices awkward to plug in and exposes them to possible damage when picking the laptop up or putting it down at a slight angle.
Anyway, back to what's there. The Samsung Series 3 Chromebook's right side is left bare, while the left houses a 3.5mm headphone/microphone jack and full-size SD card reader. This reader is covered with a genius little hinged door that folds inwards when inserting a card – basically it keeps dust out without the hassle of a fiddly removable cover.
The Chromebook's bulging rear gives adequate real estate for a full-size HDMI port, along with two full-size USB ports, one of which wears the blue livery of a speedy USB 3.0 connector. There's also a tiny power plug, which is even more awkward to use than the others when this laptop is sat on your desk.
Last of all there's a cover hiding a SIM card slot for the optional mobile broadband found on some models. Alas, you won't find this to be active on the XE303C12. However, Bluetooth is part of the package, as is Wi-Fi N. Ethernet can be added through a dongle, though you won't find one in the box.

i got my mom the original acer chromebook since all she does is facebook/ebay/email/browse. it's been a perfect fit and no support calls to me. no os upgrade cost, automatic upgrade, no virus worries. no "more" needed.
i don't get this touch issue on a laptop. i don't want to reach up there and touch. i want the trackpad to do multiple gestures. i have a macbook air and the touchpad is amazing with two three and four finger gestures. i'd like to see more of this on other machines.
The reviewer forgot to mention security - malware is a remoter risk than on any Windows laptop.
Touch on a laptop or desktop doesn't make sense ergonomically. You have to brace the laptop/monitor screen every time you use touch to stop it toppling over, and your arms get tired after prolonged use. Touch is for screens which can be laid flat with the face up, where you don't have to reach over something to touch the screen. Touch is also imprecise, and virtual keyboards lack tactile feedback, so it is only good for casual browsing and content consumption.
For laptop form factors an oversized touchpad as found on Chromebooks are the way to go. For desktops, the good old mouse is the optimum solution.
The only thing I find fault with is the mediocre qualtity of viewing. I had a netbook for 6
years with Windows 7 Starter and the viewing quality was FAR superior to this Chromebook. It amazes me why samasung/chrome released No 3 with this fault.
It has so many good points, this let's it down.

Window Regulator Repair done
I did my friends 2004 X3 window regulator repair for both rear windows (only one was broken, but I dont want to do it again, so do both at once). Simply replaced the drive dog, instead of the entire window regulator module. $100 for two drive dogs, and $30 for two vapor barriers. First one was a pain and took long until i realized you should move the drive dog up and down to easily remove the window and the dog itself from the rail. 2nd window took about 20min. A note, replacing just the dog itself is faster then the entire regulator module, and also cheaper =)
My vapor barriers are on order. I decided not to risk my friend complaining of water leaks and simply ripped off the old barriers. It took quite a while to remove the barriers from the gooey stuff. I have Permatex silicon adhesive/sealant purchased at local pepboys to reseal the barriers. The gooey stuff has dirt indicating where the water would tend to flow, so this should make identifying where to ensure I reseal correctly. The old gooey stuff is still on there, so that should provide something to hold the barriers as the seal I apply cures.
The windows require manually going all the way and all the way down to re-learn the thresholds for auto up/down functionality. I was confused at first, but figured it out.

Update with Butyl Tape part number from dealer. Some may not know you can purchase it.
Butyl Tape : 83190153321
Scape off old tape as good as you can with utility knife. Doesnt have to be perfect. Apply new tape over old residue. Warm the tape up with hair dryer. Apply Vapor Barrier over the tape. Continue using hair dryer over the edges and press firmly. Keep doing it over and over, the tape will get hot and tacky.
Test by leaving off door panels and use a hose to spray window(s) to ensure no leaks through the vapor barriers. After the leak test passes, you can put back on door panels
I actually have the same car as your friend, and just a few months ago I had to replace the driving dog on my driver's side rear window. It was weird how it just broke... I looked at it after and it seems like rather poor design and build quality, at least the part is "sorta" cheap, I guess. Anyway, I looked up the parts really quick... www.realoem.com is a great site. My local dealer ordered the parts and I was on my way same day.
I kept tho old vapor barrier, BMW uses this sticky black stuff to seal it and it the same stuff I use at work so I know how to work with it. FYI, the stuff softens up and bonds back together perfectly if you heat it up... hairdryer is pretty quick.
The hardest part to start with was figuring out how to remove the door panel without breaking any of those plastic clips. My old 525i, was really sensitive, I could never remove the door panels with all pins intact. In the X3's case it was actually extremely easy, just got to know where the pins are. The driving dog itself was a bitch, but luckily I only had to do one door.
Hi all,
my 2006 X3 Rear passenger window just broke. When the passenger pushed the window button, it did now sound right, like a rattle noise. She had the window half way down and was not responding when she tried to roll it up. However, she was able to roll the window all the way down, but now it won't roll up. Is this a regulator issue as well? Please advise.
It is very likely to be a regulator or just a drive dog. You need to take off the door panel and take a look.
Sen, you are probably still under warranty or just out of it, take it to the dealer and see if they will fix it under BMW's recent liberal "good will" warranty policy. There is a good chance they will fix it free since it is a well known problem because of poor quality material (drive dogs). Worth a try anyway.

Window Regulator Not Working or Noisy
E83 (X3) up to 04/06
The customer may complain of a power window that will not operate or is noisy during operation.
The white plastic slider on the window regulator may be damaged.
On a customer complaint basis, replace the damaged window regulator slider with the updated slider.
The updated slider, which was not available previously, is an improved part, made from a different
Remove the damaged window regulator according to repair instruction RA 51 33 000 (Front) or
RA 51 37 000 (Rear)
If only the white plastic slider is damaged, replace it by using the following instructions. If any other
damage to the regulator exists, the entire regulator must be replaced.
Note: The front window has 2 sliders and these should be replaced in pairs
We had both windows on X3 2004 - drop in tracks. BMW charged us 400.00 per window.
We are not mechanics. HAs anyone had any communication about BMW 's resonsibility on this? First time ever, a in operative window --both sides.
Our Car was out of warrenty, it sucks.
Reasoning? Seems like they were using a softer material for the plastic (teflon) drive dog on earlier models, which is what breaks. It took me about 30-45 mins to do one. My cost: $75.00
If you really don't feel comfortable taking things apart, find a reputable independent shop in your area,(www.bimrs.org) labor rates at the dealer are outrageous.
When you say DIY for window regulator replacement or driving dog replacement ....where is that ?????
BMW X3 FAQ and DIY compilation
In that thread, under Miscellaneous Documents, you will fingd a PDF for "Rear window repair".
Note that when wanting to obtain just the drive dog, some parts departments may know it by a different name, such as "traveler" or something.
The dog analogy comes from the work that item does as part of the regulator assembly in fetching and carrying the window glass up and down.
Hey guys...my wife is out of town and heard a "pop" while putting up the left rear window. It made it the rest of the way up...is there a chance that the window will drop now before I can replace the drive?
It depends on what exactly happened, but you cannot know until you take a look. When she comes home, give it a try. If it doesn't work, you
need a new drive dog, or you can try to repair yours.
I'd advice her to get a roll of painters tape and tape the glass along the top to avoid it to roll all the way down, once there you need to disassemble the door interior to bring it up (and to repair/change).
Thanks for the help...painters tape is holding it up until I get the parts.
What tools are needed to fix this? My tool inventory doesn't include many auto tools
Nothing special...just assorted screwdrivers, and I used a small ulphostery/clip removal tool to start the cardboard off. The job is really easy, it seems more complicated than it really is.
There are a couple of guides on the DIY sticky, the one mentioned above and on entitled "Door Panel Removal" this is the step-by-step instructions, and kenza's pics in the other document is a good compliment, I used both.
So far so good but I'm having trouble pushing in the tab and releasing the window...any suggestions
It took me several attempts to be comfortable with the amount of pressure.
Good luck.
Holy moly...I finally got it. I was nervous about pressing against the glass. Having another set of hands definitely helps.
Thanks for all the help!!
Might as well do the other side if you plan to keep the car a couple more years. It will go out. Second time should be really fast once you know the tricks.
Today I got the outer panel off on my 2002 525 and wrote an ad-hoc DIY:
- How to remove the outer door panel on a 2002 BMW 525i
But, before I finished, I got stuck on the NEXT step.
- What's the NEXT step for removing the door panel to diagnose broken window regulators
What's the next step after the outer panel is off?
- Do we remove the airbag?
- Do we remove the speaker?
- Do we just start peeling the vapor barrier off from the bottom?
Hi! Just remove the vapor barrier. BTW, before you do anything, disconnect the battery to avoid any problems with the airbag exploding into your face.

Detective shot to death inside police headquarters
By Elizabeth Zuckerman, Associated Press Writer ~ April 17, 2005
PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- A police detective was shot to death with his own service weapon at department headquarters early Sunday while he was questioning a potential suspect in a stabbing, the police chief said.
James Allen, a 27-year veteran, was shot in a detective conference room while questioning Esteban Carpio, Chief Dean Esserman said.
Police believe Carpio, 26, who was not handcuffed, got hold of the officer's gun, shot Allen, broke a third floor window in an adjacent office and jumped onto a service road, Esserman said at a news conference. Carpio was captured after a struggle a few blocks away.
Allen had been questioning Carpio about his possible connection to a stabbing attack Saturday on an 84-year-old woman, Esserman said. Carpio was not under arrest and had been taken out of handcuffs, he said. The woman was expected to recover.
The chief would not say how Carpio managed to get Allen's weapon, and would not discuss other details leading up to the shooting. Carpio was charged with murder on Sunday night.
He also would not discuss the protocols for carrying weapons inside police headquarters or for interviewing potential suspects, and would not say if there were witnesses.
"The investigation has begun and we will find answers, but not here this morning," he said.
Allen, 50, who was married and had two daughters, was pronounced dead at Rhode Island Hospital a short time after the shooting.
"Jimmy Allen passed in the noblest way possible. He gave his life trying to make our lives safer," said Mayor David Cicilline. "He died a hero."
Deputy Police Chief Paul Kennedy said Allen was an experienced investigator, and one of the department's longest-serving detectives. His father is retired Providence police Capt. Lloyd Allen.
Police said Carpio was injured in his jump from the window, and was treated at a hospital for injuries to his leg, arm and head.
A gun, believed to be Allen's, was discovered below the window where Carpio allegedly escaped. Police were awaiting forensic tests to definitively identify that gun as Allen's, and link it to Carpio.
Michael Brady, an expert in police procedures who teaches in the Administration of Justice department at Salve Regina University in Newport, said every police station has areas called "weapons secure," where weapons are banned.
Those areas generally include cell blocks and interrogation rooms, he said, but not areas such as detective conference rooms.
While police said Carpio had not been arrested, Brady said police comments that he was handcuffed before the shooting indicated he was under arrest and would have been brought into the station in a weapons-secure area, where he would have been searched.
But if Allen wanted to question Carpio, Brady said, it would not have been unusual for him to do so in a non-secure area, and with his gun in his holster.
Page 2 of 2 -- "This officer was not doing something very different than what police officers throughout the nation do every single day," he said.
Brady said police departments usually decide on a case-by-case basis whether a suspect needs extra security or other measures during questioning.
In this case, Brady said, "You're dealing with a 26-year-old alleged perpetrator in what is a considered a serious, violent felony. ... Given this officer's seniority and experience on the job, the officer clearly felt comfortable doing that with this person."
Brady said that while all uniformed police officers use specialized security holsters to make it difficult for a suspect to remove the gun, most plainclothes officers use simpler holsters designed to conceal, rather than secure the gun.
Security in government buildings has been a greater concern since early March, when a man in the middle of a rape retrial in Atlanta allegedly overpowered a court deputy and took her gun, then killed the judge presiding over his case and a court reporter. A deputy outside the courthouse also was killed, as was a federal customs agent whose pickup was stolen elsewhere in the area.
In Providence on Sunday, city and police officials were clearly shaken.
Esserman's voice wavered as he briefed reporters several hours after the shooting.
"It is little consolation that a suspect has been apprehended," Esserman said. "We've lost a remarkable man today, and this city is the worse for it."
Cicilline called on city residents to pray for Allen's family, and asked them to make a point of stopping police officers to thank them for their service.
The last time a Providence police officer was shot to death was in January 2000, when Sgt. Cornel Young Jr., off duty and in civilian clothes, was killed by fellow officers who mistook him for a suspect when he ran to their aid during a disturbance outside a diner.
Visitors to the police building have been required to pass through a metal detector since last fall, when a man walked into the lobby with a loaded gun and told an officer he might hurt himself or someone else. Officers disarmed him and no one was hurt.

A gun is a tool...the real weapon is between your ears!
I hate reading stuff like that for the obvious reasons but it also steams me that he will certainly get less than a swift death penalty. Personally, I think he should get it for stabbing an 84 year old woman, but that's just me.

Sad indeed. Also dare I say - all but inexcusable. Sure 20/20 hindsight tells us this but - what was the guy thinking, to even let a scumbag get close enough for this.
Sounds like just ''regular'' interview - but if no cuffs then good situational awareness should preclude this from ever happening.

CVWD to replace deteriorated Cook Street sewer pipe, expect traffic delays
The Coachella Valley Water District will replace 1,000 feet of pipe in November
PALM DESERT, Calif. - The sinkhole that swallowed part of a car on Cook Street in Palm Desert in August is still there. Some neighbors and business owners say they haven't seen any progress on repairing it, other than a mound of dirt that's filled it up.
The sinkhole, 20 feet wide and 10 feet deep, was created by a sewage leak. The Coachella Valley Water District said Monday it's not ignoring the sinkhole, but rather working on a proper solution.
The current pipe, installed in 2007, was expected to last 50 to 75 years. It didn't.
"This is very unique for a pipe that is so young to deteriorate the way it did," said Heather Engel, spokesperson for Coachella Valley Water District. "We really decided to take a time out and do a thorough investigation of the sewer line."
Experts are now evaluating three and a half miles of sewer line with video tests and then a radar test starting Thursday to see how thin the pipeline is after years of corrosion.
In November, the CVWD will remove 1,000 feet of pipeline they know needs replacement. The solution is expected to top more than $1 million.
"What it looks like is if acid were to be corroding down the sides of the pipe. There are clumps of pipe in the waterline," said Engel.
Meanwhile, the hole remains slowing down traffic along Cook Street.
"It makes traffic for trucks and companies trying to deliver very congested and out of control," said Erwin Villanueva, co-owner of Alkobar mini-mart and deli.
"We're happy to say that no ones sewer service has been affected. We just have to do what we have to get it fixed and people don't have to worry about another sinkhole," said Engel.
Two lanes on Cook Street will remain closed between Sheryl and Hovley Lane, as well as the Northbound bike lane.
Starting Thursday, there will be lane closures at Hovley Lane East near Portola. And on Hovley Lane West near Monterey for several weeks. It will give crews the chance to perform a radar test on the line.

Storm Uproots Trees and Causes Property Damage in Shepherdstown
SHEPHERDSTOWN, WVa. - Within minutes, high winds and heavy rain blew through Shepherdstown leaving neighborhoods like the one on
"It was really all of a sudden it just got, it was sunny and then it just got really, really dark. And it was like really scary cause it was really windy and the rain was going horizontally," said Annie Sherman, Shepherdstown resident.
For Annie Sherman and her mother, they're salvaging what's left of their giant magnolia tree.
"We're trying to do our best to save what's still up and alive," said
"I'm really thankful it didn't fall on our house or do any major damage to our sheds and our backyard or fall on the house or do any real damage," said
For other families, being surrounded by so many trees was a concern.
"These big, old trees. And I know we've all kind of looked at these trees and they're beautiful but we worry about something like this happening," said Carie Rosen, Shepherdstown resident.
And even though the damage is done, many neighbors said they'll regroup and rebuild together.
Officials said it could take days to restore power but fortunately no one was hurt during the storm.

1931 Chevy steering conversion
My '31 5 window coupe has the original steering system (steering box, drag link,column, etc.) The exhaust header from the 350 sm block sits right on top of the box and has probably cooked it (steering is worse than hard). I need to convert to a different steering set up and I am told that 65 to 68 Mustang is the way to go. Is this true and are there any GM steering setups that will work just as well?
Thanks, Jim
Have you checked the king pins, if these are worn out the steering will be a bear. I don't think the exhaust would cook the gear box. To check the king pins jack up the front end and see how much movement you have in the wheels. Push in on the wheel at the top if you get any movement your king pins are worn.
Dear Jim:
The best advice I or anyone else can give you is to trash the whole steering assembly and go with a new (or newer system.) I know it's gonna cost a bit of money but there are companies out there that make custom steering kits to replace your box, columns, etc.
Why do I suggest something like this? One word, SAFETY. Trust me, no one likes saving money more than me, and I know it can be tight from time to time, but the massive amounts of heat emitted by your headers on the steering box and extensions can do alot of damage, especially since their actually 1931 components! No one wants to see any rod loose control and end up a pile of goo, or see you or your friends/family end up injured, or worse off dead! How do I know? My 1930 Model A coupe decided to quit turning on me one day and Thank Goodness I was just leaving a stop light and not clocking 60+ mph on my way to a rod run! My steering assembly came out of a 1982-83 Mercury Marquis with a Mustang II front end.
Street rodding is all about HAVING FUN and STAYING SAFE! Check ANY street rodding magazine for advertisements for steering parts. There are plenty of affordable products out ther to help you get around your headers (I've got the old trumpet style) in both the stainless steel, and plain that you can paint.
If you don't really know where to go, e-mail me and I'll gladly give you some telephone numbers/websites.
Mississippi Street Rod Association
Without getting to technical the cheapest and easiest way to divert header heat is with header wrap you can find it in jegs or summit or local speed shop,I use it on my drag car for horsepower gain but after i do a run i can put my hands dirrectly on header and its only warm. So i started using it on rods to protect components. Just wrap area of header thats critical and use either hose clamp or special ties to hold it tight in place it works great.
Hello Quajim1
I agree with superfrog mostly because of the newness and availability of todays parts. I havea `30 coupe with early mustang steering (draglink style) and it is good yet could be better. The newer mustang style does afford you to drop the front end a litte more for stance (the important feature) it is more compact and simple, the initial cost is troublesome yet in the long run not all that bad. Model A`s are a chosen for this upgrade. Light cars ad compact enough to use it well. I will be upgrading mine soon as wellbesides you get ridof the squeaks involved with the other suspension. Hopefully you make the best of choices. Helpfuly submited Your friend Tacodog
We put a '74-'78 Ford Mustang II power rack on a 51 chev. Car handles great with manual brakes, steering is very quick. Can recommend this conversion on your '31. As others have stated--Safety FIRST--D
Thank you all. Lot's of good, workable solutions and trouble shooting help. Diverting header heat is a good suggestion but fundamentally I agree with everyone on replacing the front end steering. If I can't retain the original dropped solid front axle, I'll be looking for parts right away and will let you know what I find and how I make out.
Thanks again. Jim
a gm comaro or firebird from the 77 to80s would
work. that ford would front end would work well.
or you can get headers that you beld yourself
thank you

My 40 gallon Garden
I decided to start a journal for this tank because, well, I spent a lot of time and money on it. I really don't know what kind of tank this is though. I am aiming for having it as a nice looking display tank, but also I want it to also be somewhere I can "farm" plants and hold extra plants that will be traded later on. I am going to be moving in a few months but I went ahead and set this tank up because I was overflowing with plants. I didn't want to get rid of the plants yet though, because I wanted to continue stocking up on plants.
I have been experimenting lately with growing plants in large amounts. I have 2 emersed setups, a 40 and a 55 gallon tanks. I have a 10 gallon shrimp tank, I 14 gallon low-tech planted, 29 gallon high-tech planted and now a 40 gallon breeder High-tech setup. I am wanting to add to this as I want to start to have more shrimp tanks and I want to try my hand at breeding some more varieties.
But I have put a lot of time and money into this 40 gallon tank. This tank was going to be a lot less fancy than it is now. I was going to have a Aquaclear 70 on it with a couple shop lights over it. I was going to use black diamond sand and root tabs. But it has turned into T5, eco-complete, eheim filtered aquarium.:icon_roll
I will get pictures up later. My camera is not working. I am going to ask my brother if I can borrow his again.
Here is the equipment I currently have:
Filter - Eheim 2217 classic
Heater - All glass aquarium heater ( I am getting a new heater later)
Co2 Regulator - Aquatic Life
Co2 tank - 20oz paintball tank ( I have a five pound that I am going to get filled soon)
Co2 Diffuser - UP aqua glass ceramic diffuser
Light - Aquatic Life T5 HO 36" freshwater fixture
Substrate - 80 pounds of Eco-Complete
*Pictures Later :icon_smil

Okay it has been too long but I have pictures (bad).
Where is the custom stand from? I want it! =) I like the rock/wood section on the left.
Lol! I don't know where it came from. It was a wooden chest that my parents had for like 20 years. We had to go through furniture because my parents are getting divorced and neither of them wanted it. Yay! Free stand for me!
I am starting to work on a list of plants that I have. Green are in this tank. Black are in other tanks but might be used later in this tank.Red is Dead. Missing???
- Bacopa (not sure which kind)
- Rotala Rotundifolia/ Indica (Is there a difference?)
- Moneywort
- Egeria Densa
- Dwarf Baby Tears (HC)
- Regular Baby Tears
- Needle Leaf Ludwigia
- Ludwigia Repens
- Ludwigia glandulosa
- Echinodorus 'Oriental'
- Amazon Sword
- Hygrophila defformis
- Hygrophila corymbosa
- Rotala Nanjenshan
- Java Fern Lace Windelov
- Java Fern
- Java moss
- Microsword
- Anubias Barteri
- C. wendetii red
- C. wendetii green
- Glossostigma
- Myriophyllum Pinnatum
- Creeping Jenny
- Brazilian Pennywort
- Cardinalis (can't remeber name)

More Pics!
Beautiful tank, well done
Hey Zefrik,
It looks pretty good, but almost "uniformly" green. Have you thought about topping and replanting your red stems for a bolder red portion of the tank? Have you thought about getting some Ludwigia sp. "Red" for an accent color, or are you trying to do various shades and leaf textures of green color?
You have some nice, lush growth, for sure! It will be interesting to see what this tank evolves into once you get the rest of the plants in there.
How do you dose your ferts? EI or PPD method?
As for the dosing, I have not really done a lot of research about different methods yet so I just kinda dose blindly. I know it is not the best but I am hoping to learn more about dosing soon. I am using aquavitro stuff. I got it really cheap when I worked at a lfs. But I cannot find it anywhere else so I have started to buy some seachem flourish products to replace them. I think I will try Pfertz once I have some money. Or I may try some dry ferts. I just feel a little uneasy using them. Is there a good article on dosing that covers a good amount of it? I would like to find one but I can't seem to find one that I am able to use or comprehend!:icon_redf I feel so stupid. Haha
I dose EI, though it is a bit modified. You can search "EI dosing" online and it should bring up several articles explaining it, but it does get a bit full of technical jargon.
Tell you what: when you get closer to getting ferts and your CO2 after the move, let me know and I'll explain it to you in easy to understand terms. We could even even Skype, if you like.
My Brazilian pennywort is really doing well in this tank. I started with just a few small 4-6in pieces and now I have a few that are approaching 24 inches long! Straight from the bottom up to the top and over! I really like the floating plant look. Are there other good floating plants? I want stuff to be able to get enough light though. I think I might have seen a couple pieces of duckweed floating in this tank but I don't think I want that, so I took them out. Now I am hoping there aren't any more.
Tank is torn down for the move at the moment. I will try to get it set back up this weekend. It is not going to look as nice though. :(
Oh yeah, my tank will have to go about a week without co2. Will that be an issue?

Update after move pics.
The tank is going to have to grow back in but hopefully it will start to get back to normal.

Investing: Stand Behind Your Dish
On the popular cable television show Top Chef, contestants often remind each other when facing the judges to "Stand behind your dish" and "Stand firm."
The advice to stand firm and believe in your own decisions also applies to investing.
Unfortunately, many investors appear to be too easily swayed by market externals, and fail to stand behind their plans.
In fact, "the evidence suggests that most [investors' portfolios] significantly underperform both the stock market and the very mutual funds in which they invest," according to Larry Swedroe, a financial planner and author of Wise Investing Made Simple.
Swedroe cites a recent study by Morningstar, a fund research company, which found that in 17 different fund categories, the returns earned by individuals were below the returns of the very funds in which they had invested. This can be partly explained by the fact that investors often trade on emotion. For example, among large-cap growth funds, the 10-year annualized, dollar-weighted return was 3.4% less than the time-weighted return (the return reported by the fund). For mid-cap growth and small-cap growth funds, the underperformance was 2.5% and 3%, respectively. Investors in sector funds fared worse, with tech investors producing particularly disastrous results, underperforming by 14% per year.
And fund investors are not the only ones experiencing this conundrum.
Another study, this one by Brett Trueman, a professor of accounting at UCLA's Anderson School of Management, found individual stock investors make decisions that are detrimental to their portfolios. Specifically, the UCLA study looked at 293,630 earnings releases over the past 35 years, and divided them into tranches, according to returns 12 months after the earnings release.
"The top 1% of stocks with earnings released when the market was closed ran up the five days prior to the release and fell 3% in the five days following," wrote BusinessWeek in a brief on the UCLA study. "Behind the move: small investors rushing to buy and pushing prices up. When the announcement came, they stopped buying and got clobbered as the stock fell. Then the stock resumed its upward march."
Trueman told BusinessWeek that long-term investors "shouldn't worry about a break in momentum. Don't necessarily interpret it as bad news," he says. "After a few weeks they [stocks] start rising again."
Why do investors behave in ways that hurt their portfolios?
Swedroe thinks he can speculate on an answer to that question.
"Investors allow their emotions to impact their investment decisions," he says. "In bull markets, greed and envy take over and risk is overlooked. In bear markets, fear and panic take over, and even well-thought-out plans can end up in the trash heap of emotions."
Recent market activity suggests bear market panic may be happening in today's markets. In the first four months of the year, the S&P 500 fell 6%, as investors looked to exit stocks.
S&P Chief Economist Sam Stovall thinks investors may be exiting at exactly the wrong time. He notes that consumer confidence is quite low these days (see cover table). Ironically, low consumer confidence has, historically, been a good contrarian indicator of bullish times ahead for the stock market. Of course, investors should note past history is no guarantee of future results.
"In general, whenever the consumer confidence index has fallen below 76 (one standard deviation below the average of 97 since 1977), bad news about our economy's state of affairs is so pervasive that everyone is talking about it, which may signal that the worst is over," says Stovall.
"Historically, the S&P 500 has gained more than 20% per annum after a period of extreme investor pessimism," agrees Arieh Coll, portfolio manager for the Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Multi-Cap Growth fund. "What's more, pessimistic consumers lead to S&P 500 gains of more than 26.9% six months later. For this and other reasons, we think the bear market is dead."
Another supporter of this position is the legendary investor, Sir John Templeton, who once famously said, "Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimism, and die on euphoria."
S&P Equity Strategy advises a 55% weighting to U.S. stocks in its aggressive portfolio, a 45% weighting in its moderate portfolio, and a 30% weighting in its conservative portfolio.
So how can investors find a way to stand by their investment plans even in tough times?
First and foremost, they've got to have a plan. Standard & Poor's recommended ETF Asset Allocation Portfolios could be a first step for investors trying to determine the right asset allocation.
Of course, standing firm does not mean buying a security and then walking away forever. Every investor should rebalance his or her portfolio at least once annually, to maintain the desired asset allocation. While everyone knows, in theory, that "buy low, sell high" is the key to investment success, it can be hard to put this theory into practice. If you are doing your annual portfolio rebalancing, and one investment has jumped up considerably while another has lagged, you should sell the winner and buy the loser. It seems few individual investors can bring themselves to do so.
However, it seems that's exactly what the pros are doing. According to the Merrill Lynch April global fund manager survey of 202 fund managers, fund managers are more bullish on U.S. stocks than a month earlier. Not only do they express that bullish sentiment to survey takers, they are acting on it. The average cash position at mutual funds fell to 4.2% in April, down from 4.9% in March. Professional investors are not sitting with cash on the sidelines. They are putting that cash to work. Depending on your age and risk tolerance level, perhaps you should, too.

Queen + Adam Lambert: Footage and Set List from Opening Night in Phoenix
Latest Stormtroopers in Stilettos Press Release
Major Queen Exhibition in London's East End to start 40th Anniversary celebrations opens February 25th
"Let's face it, darlings, we're the most preposterous band that's ever lived."
Freddie Mercury
February 25th 2010 sees the opening of 'Stormtroopers in Stiletto's, a fabulous whirlwind of rock, glamour and entertainment ready to kick off London's musical calendar for 2011.
'Stormtroopers in Stiletto's: Queen, The Early Years' is a major exhibition celebrating the formation and first five albums of one of the most exciting and influential bands in global musical history. Beloved by millions around the world, including the likes of Dave Grohl and The Foo Fighters, Katy Perry, Muse and the current high priestess of drama Lady Gaga, the exhibition heralds the start of Queens 40th Anniversary.
'Stormtroopers in Stilettos' is the first ever large-scale Queen exhibition and takes place in a huge warehouse space in the heart of London's East End at Old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane, opening on February 25th, closing on March 12th. The exhibition is global and London is the first stop in a tour of major world cities.
The exhibition date has been specially chosen to coincide with March 1st which is the official date of Queens 40th Anniversary.
The exhibition is a vibrant and contemporary, 360 degree, three dimensional experience taking visitors to the heart of Queen by combining unseen and bespoke interactive audio and visual environments with never-before-seen snap-shots from the bands personal archive which come together to create an exciting and fun insight into the foundation and rise of the global super group Queen became.
Guiding the visitor through a series of rooms that start from the bands formation where we get a glimpse into the period when Freddie and Roger were working in Kensington Market (the Shoreditch of its time) by day and writing in Freddie's bedsit by night and take us right through to the bands iconic live show to over 150,000 people in Hyde Park in 1976.
Some of the unique items on display includes Freddie Mercury's legendary ballet pumps that led to one of the more unlikely encounters of the era – when Queen and the Sex Pistols were recording the same studio in 1976, Sid Vicious bumped into Freddie who said 'Ullo Fred, I see you've bought ballet to the masses then.' To which Freddie replied, 'Oh yes, Mr Ferocious. Trying my best dear.'
