Tom Adams and Jamie Berger are the duo behind Pitt Cue Co, the cult BBQ operation that caused Londoners to crowd under Hungerford Bridge in 2011 to eat ribs from the back of a van. Their restaurant opened in Newburgh Street last year.
Get set
Your BBQ is going to become your workhorse, so invest in something half-decent such as a Big Green Egg, a ceramic BBQ that retains heat well, allowing you to cook slowly for up to 24 hours without adding more fuel (from £399; biggreenegg.co.uk). If your budget doesn't stretch to that, invest in a heavy, cast-iron grill grate — it will store heat much better than something flimsy and cheap, and will help meat brown evenly. Source some natural British lumpwood charcoal and natural woods from The London Log Company (thelondonlogcompany.blogspot.com). The charcoal will be the consistent heat source, and the wood will be your flavouring.
Meat and great
Barbecuing doesn't have to be limited to burgers and bangers. More interesting beef cuts such as onglet and rump cap and pork shoulder chops are brilliant on a BBQ. Onglet has a gamey beefiness and comes in a long, thin steak that cooks quickly. Rump cap is one of the muscles that makes up the rump; it has loads of flavour and a good amount of fat running through it. Pork shoulder chops are made up of lots of small muscles separated by a thick web of fat that makes the cut very moist.
Go slow
If you want to go down the low and slow route for soft, gelatinous goodness, opt for beef short ribs, ox cheek, pig's head or pork shoulder. If you don't have time to tend a BBQ for hours, try pre-cooking the meat with a good spice rub (a salt, sugar and spice mixture that forms a tasty crust) at 110C/Gas Mark ¼ in the oven until it is soft and yielding, before finishing over charcoal. Pork belly is also good for this. Brining will season the meat to the bone and allows you to introduce aromas that add layers of flavour, such as lemon zest, star anise, fennel, coriander, thyme and peppercorns. Try brining chicken for two hours in a 10:1 water-salt solution with a touch of sugar and aromatics.
Veg out
So many vegetables benefit from time on the grill. Blanch cabbages, broccoli and leeks before dressing lightly with rapeseed oil, and grilling. Lettuces are amazing when grilled. When stone fruits are in season, get peaches on the grill. When cooked slowly the skin will slide off easily and leave a perfect peachy orb.
Get stuck in
Touch is very important, but learning to tell whether a steak is medium rare or well done will come with practice. Start by training yourself with a instant-read digital thermometer: 48-50C in the centre is rare, 54C is medium rare, 56-58C is medium well done, and 60C is well done. A large steak will continue to cook when it comes off the grill, so allow for a few degrees rise in temperature.

This research and deliberation activity is designed to encourage students to look at the issue of immigration reform from different points of view. From the time of America's founding, immigration has been crucial to the nation's growth, as well as a periodic source of conflict. Recent debate over immigration has polarized the nation, sparking rallies and marches, prompting congressional hearings, presidential initiatives and proposed legislation to reform what is widely considered an ineffective U.S. immigration system.

Model Dance-Off!!! Kate Upton Gets Served By Melanie Iglesias & Lisa Ramos [VIDEO]
Yesterday, a video of the incredible Kate Upton doing the 'Cat Daddy' spread like wildfire throughout internet land. YouTube yanked the original video down for being "too sexy," but they could barely keep up with all the alternate videos that were popping up seemingly every other second. With killer dance moves on full display, Kate Upton proved that she wasn't just another pretty face, but her model friends are already challenging her to a dance-off!
The Rejectz are the luckiest guys on earth right now. As the creators of 'Cat Daddy' the group is getting the best record promotion possible purely on the strength of models worldwide doing their dance in next-to-nothing clothing. If this keeps up, it very well may become the greatest dance of all time.
Check out Melanie Iglesias and Lisa Ramos joining up for some tag team 'Cat Daddy' action that makes me want to round up my crew and form an official dance-off circle around their stellar performance.
The only thing that would make this video better is if Kate Upton herself would join in.

Rare 1794 silver dollar sells for record $10 million at U.S. auction
By Patricia Reaney
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A 1794 silver dollar, which many experts believe was the first such coin struck by the U.S. Mint, sold for a record $10 million at auction on Thursday.
The Flowing Hair Silver Dollar more than doubled the previous $4.1 million record for a coin set in 1999, auction house Stack's Bowers Galleries said.
Legend Numismatics, a rare-coin firm based in New Jersey, bought the coin, which was the highlight of the evening sale in New York that fetched a total of $17.2 million.
"We felt in our heart that this would be the very first coin to exceed the $10 million barrier in auction and were in fact prepared to bid much high in order to acquire this unique piece of history," the company said in a statement, adding it had no plans to sell the coin in the near future.
David Bowers, chairman emeritus of Stack's Bowers Galleries, said the coin has unique features that make it particularly valuable.
"It is the first American metal dollar struck and the finest known. You have these combinations coming together. No museum has an equal piece," he told Reuters.
The coin was part of the Cardinal Collection, amassed by the collector Martin Logies. Bowers described the collection as the "Old Masters" of coins struck during the earliest years of the U.S. Mint.
"I think it is extraordinary and I am very pleased that the first silver dollar is the first to top the $10 million threshold," said Logies, who purchased the coin three years ago. Continued...

Although minimal in words it is very "With it" when it comes to all the computer and internet buzz words. Perfect for a child who is still young and not transitioning in to books and you are looking for a fun way to try something new... well, old!
No matter how many electronic devices are available these days, you can't deny the simple appeal of a good book. Monkey is reading a book, but his friend wants to know what the book can do. Does it have a mouse like his computer? Can you make the characters fight? And does it make loud noises? No, it's a book. Monkey's friend discovers that a good book doesn't need fancy electronic accessories.
About The Author
Lane Smith is an award-winning children's author and illustrator. His recent American publications Madam President and John, Paul, George & Ben both were New York Times and Publishers Weekly bestsellers. His titles with Jon Scieszka include, the Caldecott Honor winner, The Stinky Cheese Man, The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs and Science Verse. In 1996 Lane served as Conceptual Designer on the Disney film version of James and the Giant Peach. Lane live in Connecticut with his wife, who has designed all of Lane's titles.
"I do love this book." --The New Yorker magazine's, Book Bench blog"Those of us for whom books are a faith in themselves -- who find the notion that pixels, however ordered, could be any kind of substitute for the experience of reading in a chair with the strange thing spread open on our lap -- will love this book. Though it will surely draw a laugh from kids, it will give even more pleasure to parents who have been trying to make loudly the point that Smith's book makes softly: that the virtues of a book are independent of any bells, whistles or animation it might be made to contain. . . . For in trying to make the case for books to our kids, exactly the case we want to make is not that they can compete with the virtues of computer or screens, but that they do something else: that they allow for a soulfulness the screens, with their jumpy impersonality, cannot duplicate . . . The moral of Smith's book is the right one: not that screens are bad and books are good, but that what books do depends on the totality of what they are -- their turning pages, their sturdy self-sufficiency, above all the way they invite a child to withdraw from this world into a world alongside ours in an activity at once mentally strenuous and physically still." --Adam Gopnick, in The New York Times Book Review"This tongue-in-cheek picture book about reading in the digital age features the best last line ever written in the history of children's literature. Savor it in print rather than trying to read it on your Nook, Kindle or iPad --the punchline will be much better that way." --USA Today's "Pop Candy" blog"Stylishly designed." --The Wall Street Journal, in its Summer Big Books Preview"In the age of e-readers, Smith offers a wry tribute to the printed word through a conversation about a book. As a gorilla sits reading quietly, a technophilic donkey pesters him about the source of his absorption: "Can it text? Tweet? Wi-Fi?" He may be a complete ass, but the donkey finally comes to understand the value of a good book -- least of all, no batteries required!" --AARP.com"Donkey's gradual capitulation to the power of a real book is marked by both the hands of the clock (in a droll double-page time-lapse sequence) and the angles of his ears. But it's a mouse's final insouciant line that garners the biggest laugh." --The Washington Post"Welcome to a stunning picture-book entry in the print versus e-books debate. . . One of this year's best last lines will not be spoiled here." --The Chicago Tribune"This is a picture book that captures a defining moment in--dare I say it? --civilization as we know it." --The Miami Herald"Lane Smith brilliantly captures the fears of today's book lovers over e-readers in a children's book -- and does so with great humor." --The New York Post"Dry humor permeates the visual exchanges. With a cheeky punch line (kids, do not try it at home), Smith uses irreverence to express reverence for the book." --The San Francisco Chronicle"Personally, we laughed our a$$ off--and we know a few kids who will, too." --Time Out New York Kids"If you're a picture book connoisseur, chances are you're already familiar with Lane Smith. . . . Smith's latest picture book is called IT'S A BOOK. . . It's a very cute book, short and sweet. The illustrations are charming--particularly the monkey's expressions--and your kids will love the silly questions the donkey asks about the monkey's book." --Wired magazine's "Geek Dad" blog"Young readers, who are, after all, digital natives, will get a real kick out of Smith's book, as will their increasingly technology-obsessed parents." --Scripps Howard News Service"In our increasingly electronic world, it's easy to forget the sweet simplicity of a book. In Lane Smith's delightful It's a Book, the high-tech generation, especially youngsters, can rediscover the fun there is to be had between two covers. The playful read is something you and your grandchildren can enjoy together, time and again." --The Bellingham Herald"Adults who think their kids can handle the language with a wink and a smile will love reading this book aloud to their kids and having a great old belly laugh right along with them." --McClatchy-Tribune newswire"Smith addresses e-literacy in his irreverent style. . . . Meanwhile, Smith has the best of both worlds: his stylish drawings, sleek typography, and kid-friendly humor combine old media and new." --Publishers Weekly, STARRED"The final punch line . . . will lead to a fit of naughty but well-deserved laughter, and shouts of 'Encore.' A clever choice for readers, young and old, who love a good joke and admire the picture book's ability to embody in 32 stills the action of the cinema." --School Library Journal, STARRED"This is an exceptional picture book by an A-list award-winning, best-selling author/illustrator; a book that is promoting literacy and poking fun at those people who are forever glued to their computer screens. I'm quite curious to see how this one will play out. Especially when IT'S A BOOK starts showing up on a bunch of Best of the Year lists. Including mine." --Richie's Picks"Wickedly funny." --The Horn Book"Smith throws down his gauntlet in the ongoing debate over digital versus print." --Booklist"Universally comical . . . the refrain and pacing hit the sweet spot for preschoolers, while a Treasure Island passage reduced to AIM-speak will have middle schoolers and adults in stitches." --Kirkus Reviews"A must-read for every publisher concerned about the impact of electronic publishing issues and every child who wants to enjoy more of their childhood and Lane Smith's arch style. A devilish ending may scare a few... if it's you? Lighten up." --Publishers Weekly, named a "Staff Pick" by PW publisher George Slowik, Jr."I just received my finished copy of IT'S A BOOK, and I am simply mad for it. I want to give it to every i-Pad/Kindle-loving friend, to every skeptic who doubts the endurance of book culture in the 21st century, and certainly to children who must, must, must be shown the enchantments of holding a real book in their tiny hands. I hope IT'S A BOOK is a huge, huge success, and not just as a children's book." --Irma Wolfson, Book Buyer, Fontainebleau Hotel"A spirited parable that should be required reading for every youngster likely to find piles of shiny new gadgets under the tree this year." --The New Yorker magazine's "Book Bench" blog, in its piece "Holiday Gift Guide for the Precocious Child"

If you enjoy sports, it is crucial that you choose footwear that have been created for that certain sport. This is since every single of these shoes provides the assistance necessary to assist the foot while it is taking part in. For example, managing sneakers frequently have extra arch assist due to the bending of the foot.
Great footwear must truly feel relaxed from the very first time you put them on. If you place them on and they harm, don't take a likelihood set them again on the shelf. You can develop distressing foot problems when you break in new footwear.
Evaluate your ft at least after every calendar year, even as an adult. You may consider that your ft are established by the time you are older, but it truly is far from the situation. Your feet alter as you age, so it really is crucial to measure them yearly. It can suggest all the variation to your overall convenience.
The ideal pair of sneakers can make or break an outfit. To demonstrate off your excellent vogue feeling, spice up http://www.kuaks.com/listing-108-light-up-sneakers.html with a patterned or textured shoe. If your outfit is a mix of prints or embellished with florals, a strong coloration shoe will be the ideal compliment.
Be cautious about purchasing sneakers on-line. Different makes and styles match in a different way. Even if you know your shoe size, you will possibly span a complete size and a 50 percent dependent of the cut of the shoe. Keep in mind that your shoe measurement modifications in excess of time also. Pregnancy, slipping arches and other troubles enhance the dimensions of your foot in excess of time.
Store for sneakers on-line. You can conserve a lot of income just by currently being an grownup who buys their sneakers on the Internet. As an grownup, your shoe measurement will not change and there is a increased likelihood that the shoes you buy will in shape you fine. Buying online can conserve you income, so it's a fantastic concept if you are seeking for a offer.
If you do not like something about the footwear you are interested in, question a personnel member if there is different pair obtainable which matches your needs. Even though only a white pair may be proven on the shelf, they can frequently get you a pair in an additional shade or material which isn't available in shop.
The Web is complete of numerous wonderful web sites that offer you fantastic discounts on shoes, but it can be challenging to know what dimensions to buy. To get the ideal suit, discover a brick and mortar store that sells the variety of shoe you want and consider them on for dimension. Then you can order online and get a great price and a good fit.

Those who knew Matti Juhani Saari were shocked at the news he had killed ten students in a school shooting spree. Schoolmates and teachers describe him as sociable and an ordinary student in school. A former classmate who knew him from the beginning of the seventh grade said he was "perhaps quiet but not the solitary type." There was some indication of a few bullying encounters between Saari and other boys but, for the most part, he had friends and got along in school. Another classmate said "in the ninth grade he started mixing with some rather heavier circles, but I would still have never believed that something like this could happen."
Teachers report he interacted in class and work well with other students. One said: "he was an average student, whose grades varied from to to five(on a 0 to 5 scale). I thought he was quite a sympathetic type of guy."
However, he did take part in online chats that discussed American school shootings and Pekka-Eric Auvinen who killed eight Finnish students last year. Investigators found messages in his home that he hated humankind and had been planning the shooting since 2002. His hobbies included computers, the drums, sex, beer, and target practice with his Walther 22 pistol.
Police officials now say they received information last Friday about a possible shooting and they talked with the boy the day before the shooting but no attempt was made to take away his weapon.
The question, as always in these cases, is what was the final reason why he decided to kill. We probably will never know the answer to that question.

"The University of Tennessee ROTC Battalion has been proud to help develop the leaders of tomorrow."
"The ROTC program (the basic course) began at the University of Tennessee at Martin in September 1952. The Army awarded the University "senior" ROTC status (the advanced course) in 1964. ROTC is a leadership development program and as such prides itself as one of the best leader development programs in the United States. ROTC incorporates the latest adult learning methods and pedagogy to facilitate the leader development of its cadets by examining leadership fundamentals (during class) and the practical application of leadership of its cadets by examining leadership fundamentals during laboratories and other off campus exercises. Since ROTC is an officer producing source students are exposed to the Army as a profession from the viewpoint of a junior officer. Small unit, tactical "team building" exercises serve as a vehicle to afford students an opportunity to practice and hone their leadership skills."
The ROTC program at the University of Tennessee at Martin breeds excellence. The cadre are professionals that dedicate their time to ensuring the cadets are well trained. This program develops strong leaders that are prepared to handle situation in a rapidly changing environment. A cadet from this program is well-rounded: An organized leader, a team player, a scholar in academics and in the military arts, a strong communicator, and a technical expert in individual and team collective tasks. Our extracurricular programs emulate recruitment through championship competitions and excellent teamwork. In short, our program is an excellent place for a student looking to better their life in every aspect.
Army ROTC Cadets are offered the chance to participate in a variety of training opportunities, typically during the summer months between their sophomore and junior years. Opportunities range from Airborne School to paid travel study and cultural emersion trips around the world. Follow the link to learn more about these and other amazing training opportunities offered by the UTM Skyhawk Battalion.

VANCOUVER — First Quantum Minerals Ltd. is giving shareholders of Inmet Mining Corp. an additional 13 days to decide whether to accept its takeover offer, which is opposed by the Inmet board.
The new deadline is 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Feb. 27.
First Quantum has also relaxed one of the offer's conditions, giving the Vancouver-based company more flexibility to go ahead with the deal even if denied access to certain information.
Inmet has said it's seeking alternatives to First Quantum's $5.1-billion offer.
First Quantum announced Friday that it has received a favourable ruling from the federal competition commissioner on Feb. 7, meeting one of the conditions.
The company has also changed another condition to give First Quantum the discretion to go ahead with a purchase even if it isn't given access to the same non-public information provided to other potential buyers, according to a regulatory filing obtained through DisclosureNet.com.
Philip Pascall, First CEO and Chairman of First Quantum, said in a statement Friday that the deadline is being extended to provide more time for some regulatory approvals that are necessary conditions of the deal.
"We continue to work towards ensuring that we will be in a position to satisfy all the conditions of our offer as soon as possible," Pascall said.
"We have received strong support and encouragement for the offer from Inmet's shareholders," added. "We wish to thank those Inmet shareholders for their support. We encourage them to continue with these efforts, as we continue with our own efforts to engage Inmet's directors and management team in an open dialogue and exchange of information."

Mrs. Chili is at a week-long, writing-intensive workshop at Prestigious Boarding School. We began yesterday with a round-table discussion about who we are and why we're here, and moved on to the reasons we write (or not, as the case may be) and how we translate our own experience with words into the methods we use to reach our students.
The theme for today's writing is "inheritance." I'm sure that's a complex concept for just about everyone, but I bring my own special brand of crazy to this party.
We have been reading excerpts of Andre Dubus's collection titled Broken Vessels. The voice in these pieces is tight and masculine; he speaks of love in oblique ways, which, in a way, makes the entire sense of the thing that much more powerful, and the enormity of information that is conveyed in a scant dozen paragraphs is enough to keep 16 geeky English teachers engaged in round-table discussions for more than an hour ("notice that he says was here instead of is…" "He's watching with his father as he dies, not just watching his father…").
Our assignment was to go off to write, and I've found a corner on the top floor of the massive, square library to open my laptop and contemplate inheritance. Here are the (very) first drafts of some things I was able to take away from my brain-dump exercise this morning. As always, I appreciate any feedback – questions, suggestions, points for clarification – that you're willing to take the time to offer.
It is a very handsome ring. Heavy and substantial, the square setting supports a large and nearly flawless diamond and four rows of deep, dark sapphires. For all its heft, the ring attempts a modicum of lightness; delicate filigree work on the sides try to counter the sharp angles and corners of the setting, but the overall effect is one of presence and power. Her third husband, the one who divorced her shortly before the diagnosis, found the ring in a pawn shop. The original center topaz was replaced with a diamond, but the rest of the ring remained as it was. I remember my mother wearing the ring, but even when she and her husband were happy together, it was never a constant.
My mother wanted me to have this ring. She gave me a number of her possessions over the months of her decline, and wrote a list of things that she wanted me to have after she died, but she was most adamant about this ring. As someone who believed that people can imprint their energy on physical things, she asked me to find the ring in her jewelry box so that she could wear it every day; she put it on not long after the social worker came to the house to assess her availability for assistance (because it wouldn't do to cry poverty while wearing such an impressive piece of jewelry) and wore it until, as she lay moaning and unresponsive in the nursing home, my sister-in-law slipped it off her finger a few hours before she died. After signing a property release at the nurses' station, the ring became mine.
I have never worn it. For all that it is lovely and reminds me of my mother, and despite the fact that it is comprised of diamonds and sapphires – the same stones in both my engagement ring and the ring my husband gave me to commemorate our tenth anniversary – I do not like it. The longest I've worn it was the few hours between when we took the ring from my mother's finger and the time it took me to drive home after her heart stopped beating under my hand. I've visited it in my jewelry box a few times, but it's never gotten much farther than that.
A big part of me wants to reset the ring to something that I would wear; something I could have that both suits me and recalls my mother. I imagine a band setting, something low and secure, in which the sapphires march in a gently curving row to the diamond in the center rather than boxing it in pointed corners and straight lines; or maybe a pendant shaped so the tiny blue stones cradle the diamond in a soft wave of color.
I haven't brought the ring to a jeweler's, though; I haven't convinced myself that it's really mine yet.
As I sit at the top floor of a massive brick and concrete library, thinking about my impossibly complex relationship to the idea of "inheritance," I look out the window and see, growing through the cracks in the between the bricks on the roof, a single maple sapling. There is no earthly reason for this tree to be growing where it is; there is no soil beneath its roots, the place where it's dug in is both walled and roofed, so its share of sunlight and rain must surely be limited, yet there it is, two full-grown and clearly defined leaves sprouting defiantly from a four-inch stalk poking from between a pair of dusky red bricks mortared nearly 85 feet in the air.
I see a bit of me in the audacity of this baby maple. I, who have sawn myself off of my family tree, have managed to find a new and unlikely place to root. Though I don't contend with the harsh edges and straight lines of bricks – at least, not anymore – I never imagined that I would be able to settle in as fertile ground as I have. With no example to follow, I have managed to create for myself a life of stability and joy that I never thought I deserved, much less could have accomplished. Unlike this little tree growing alone in the sky, I have created for myself a forest of chosen family surrounding a grove of husband and children that is far more vibrant and healthy than I was given reason to believe I would ever see.
I teach because I need to give back.
When a family fails, the best a child can hope for is that other grown-ups – parents of friends, coaches, neighbors, or teachers – will step in and stand up. When school is the safest place a child can be, the people who populate that school – especially the people who make it run and give it its routine – become the most important people in the world. The people who are there, every day, with a comforting reliability give a child a sense of safety that they may not otherwise have. The people who make and maintain fair and constant rules help that child learn that the boundaries aren't supposed to move on a whim, and that great things can be accomplished in stable environments. The people who tell that kid that he *can* when all the people who are supposed to be important tell him that he *can't* become the world to that kid. That kid starts dreading Fridays and the days before vacations begin, because he knows it's going to be that long before he again feels like he belongs where he is.
I teach, in part, because good people did those things for me. I want to make kids feel like someone believes in them and in what they can do the way I was encouraged. While I love my kids – and make no effort to hide that – I am hard on them, too – I *expect* things from them and I hold them to tough but attainable standards – because, as Booker T. Washington is quoted as saying, "Few things help an individual more than to place responsibility upon him, and to let him know that you trust him." I learned to believe in myself because people I admired believed in me, and I want to send that energy – that powerful and profound energy – back into the Universe.

318i Touring boot hatch wont open
Hi, first post so I thank you all in advance for any help offered.
I have just bought a 2001 318i Touring, lovely motor but.... I can't get the glass hatch in the boot lid to open, I think this is called a convenience window, this wouldn't be an issue other than I need to access the rear sprayer to reconnect the pipe...
I have had a look through the fuses and all seems in order, short of taking out the entire boot locking mech what should I do...
Or.... am I just being a muppet and missing something obvious.
stick you key in the trunk, turn and open.
I guess that would work.... if there were a key hole....
doesn't help really does it, I need to open the window to access the sprayer mech. Thanks anyway.... I think, maybe...not.
Is this what your vehicle is? To clarify, which part are you having problems opening? The window or the entire trunk lid? The glass window is sealed in.
OP- do you have the diamond shaped key with the two unlock buttons on it? The upper button, above the BMW logo, is the hatch release. Does it not open when you push it? If you have two keys, try both. Also, how about the hatch release under the dash? On left hand drive cars, it's next to the door, look next to the right door on your car.
Does the remote unlock work for your doors? I know it sounds simple, but I like to start with easy stuff. I would make sure the key works properly before going more in depth.
Just replying like with like....
I only have the one key so no option re trying an alternative.
I had the opposite problem with my Touring; the glass popped open all the time by itself. I played around with the window lock mechanism, adjusting the striker, etc., but it turned out to be a short in the button under the wiper.
With the opposite condition, a window lock failed closed, I don't see how you can get to it to replace it if you had to.
Here's the page from TIS Spaghetticoder on removing the window lock:
Piece of cake...but it says to first remove the trim panel inside the hatch:
You can't do Step #1 because it's covered by the stuck-closed glass. I suppose you could hack a hole in the plastic trim panel to access the window lock mechanism, but there has to be a better way if you have a known bad lock. This situation has to have happened before.
Obviously, non-destructively searching for electrical gremlins is the first thing, as others have mentioned. Perhaps there's a point down below the D pillar where you can access an electrical connector and see if the car's lock module is sending +12V to release the window lock when it's supposed to.
Hi not sure if you have found a solution, i came across your post as i also have had the same problem for over a year and have searched the internet on all forums and had found no solution. I have even thought about breaking the glass.
Anyway, i hit the jackpot last night and came across this (thinking about it all of my google searches were for e46...possibly to specific)
I thought it only right to share my find to many e46's who are still praying for a sollution.
Follow this link, it explains how their is a manual over ride that if you have a long tool you can access and it pops the glass section open :)
Going to try it on mine, just waiting on replacement part to come in first.
Good luck.

Conservative Columnist Tells GOP White House Hopefuls: Get Serious
In a New York Post column, conservative John Podhoretz lets the Republican field of presidential candidates have it for, in his opinion, not rising to the level of seriousness or dignity of the office they're seeking.
Podhoretz, who is also the editor of Commentary, the Jewish opinion magazine, offered a fairly harsh indictment of the candidates that taps into the uneasiness not a few Republicans have with how the would-be GOP nominees they have to choose from.
An excerpt:
Memo to the Republican field: You're running for president. Of the United States. Of America. Start acting like it.
Stop proposing nonsense tax plans that won't work. Stop making ridiculous attention-getting ads that might be minimally acceptable if you were running for county supervisor in Oklahoma. Stop saying you're going to build a US-Mexico border fence you know perfectly well you're not going to build.
Give the GOP electorate and the American people some credit. This country is in terrible shape. They know it. You know it. They want solutions. You're providing comedy.
Maybe Podhoretz misses the contribution the Republican field is making. Maybe what because the country is in such bad shape what some voters are looking for is comedy. (John Avlon, the Newsweek columnist, captures some of the flavor of the GOP campaign in a piece on CNN's website.)
David Frum, who like Podhoretz also served as a speech writer in a Republican White House, recently suggested in a column that worried openly about the meaning of Herman Cain's rise that the problem may be that Republican voters aren't looking for is proven competence in governing.
That bothered him no less than the alleged lack of seriousness on the part of the GOP candidates troubles Podhoretz.
According to Frum, the choice of a relatively inexperienced leader to be president, as was the case with President Obama, was a reaction to the mismanagement many voters associated with President George W. Bush who had much more government experience when he took office.
You might expect Republicans to react similarly against the Obama presidency, demanding from their nominee skills that Obama lacked: administrative experience, negotiating skill, deep policy knowledge.
But no. From Donald Trump to Michele Bachmann to Herman Cain, the Republican activist base has again and again fixed its hopes on people who have never held an executive public office — and who defiantly reject the very idea of expertise.
Which maybe helps explain why the candidates are acting as they are.

Pop Will Eat Itself
While recording their follow-up, Poppiecock, PWEI became immersed in sampling, drawing material from sources ranging from James Brown to Iggy Pop; soon Crabb emerged from behind his drum kit to join Mansell as co-frontman, and a drum machine was installed in his place. Honing a fusion of rock, pop, and rap that they dubbed "grebo," the Poppies kick-started a small revolution; by the release of their 1987 full-length debut, Box Frenzy, and the hit "There Is No Love Between Us Anymore," grebo -- the name quickly given the entire subculture of similarly grimy and raunchy bands -- was all the rage in the British music press.
The influence of hip-hop was even more pronounced on singles like "Def. Con. One." and "Can U Dig It?," both included on Pop Will Eat Itself's 1989 masterpiece, This Is the Day...This Is the Hour...This Is This!, their debut for RCA. "Touched by the Hand of Cicciolina," an ode to the Italian porn actress turned politician, was another hit, while 1991's Cure for Sanity marked an increasing interest in dance music. By 1992's The Looks or the Lifestyle, PWEI even added a live drummer, Fuzz (born Robert Townshend), to expand their ever-mutating sound.
In early 1993, the Poppies issued their biggest U.K. hit, "Get the Girl, Kill the Baddies"; ironically, later that same year the group was dropped by RCA. After signing to Infectious in Britain, they were picked up in the U.S. by Nothing, a label owned by longtime fan Trent Reznor; sporting a harder-edged, funk-metal sound, PWEI resurfaced in 1994 with Dos Dedos Mis Amigos. Prior to the release of a 1995 remix record, Two Fingers, My Friends, Crabb exited the group to focus on his side project, Golden Claw Musics. March later gained fame in the big beat act Bentley Rhythm Ace. ~ Jason Ankeny

Dana and Rodrigo's Wedding
"Mike Carcano was an excellent DJ and he provided the perfect musical backdrop for our reception. My husband is a DJ and because of that, our choice of DJ was very important to him. Mike and his team carefully listened to the style of music we wanted and allowed us to provide a detailed listing of preferred songs for dinner and dancing. Mike was very skilled at watching the crowd and switching up the musical choice when the dance floor thinned out, and the result was a reception with a packed dance floor up through the final song. We would definitely recommend Carcano DJ to anyone. Mike was classy, professional, and really kept the party going."

at LOUISIANA-LAFAYETTE RAGIN' CAJUNS (2-2)
Kickoff: Friday, 9:00 p.m. EDT, Line: Oklahoma State -24, Total: 62
Oklahoma State brings its high-powered offense to Lafayette to take on the Ragin' Cajuns. The Cowboys are second in the nation with 52.3 PPG, thanks to QB Brandon Weeden (315 pass YPG), WR Justin Blackmon (nation-best 140 rec. YPG) and RB Kendall Hunter (144 rush YPG, sixth in FBS). La Lafayette has allowed the 3rd-most points in the nation (35 PPG) and lost its last game against a BCS team, 55-7 to Georgia. Basketball spreads.
Oklahoma State's offense has been stellar, but its defense has certainly not. Despite forcing 12 turnovers in their past three games, the Cowboys have still allowed 101 points over that span. After surrendering 535 yards to Texas A&M last week, OSU now ranks 96th among FBS schools in total defense (415 YPG).
UL Lafayette's defensive unit isn't much better, ranking 93rd in total defense (409 YPG). The Cajuns don't have a stellar offense either, averaging just 314 YPG (95th in nation). Their top rusher Kevis Streeter is averaging below 40 YPG, but he will not play Friday because of knee problems. QB Chris Masson has done a nice job taking care of the football (5 TD, 1 INT in 103 pass attempts). But his favorite receiver, TE Ladarius Green (14 rec., 222 yds, 3 TD in three games) missed last game and is listed as doubtful Friday night due to an ankle injury. Basketball lines.
These teams have met four times since 1997, with OSU winning each game by at least 17 points. The past three contests saw OSU favored by 35, 34 and 37 points, but they only covered once. This FoxSheets trend shows why Oklahoma State can cover a more manageable spread:
Play On – Favorites of 21.5 to 31 points (OKLAHOMA ST) – solid team – outscoring opponents by 10 or more points/game, after scoring 31 points or more in 4 straight games. (24-4 over the last 5 seasons.) (85.7%, +19.6 units. Rating = 3*).
Oklahoma State's over/under total has averaged 62 points this year, but the Cowboys have gone Over every time. Three out of four ULL games have gone over too. Despite the total being in the low-60s, FoxSheets likes the Over again on Friday night. Basketball betting lines.
Play Over – All teams where the total is between 56.5 and 63 (OKLAHOMA ST) – quick starting offensive team – scoring 16+ PPG in the first half, after scoring 31 points or more in 4 straight games. (39-12 over the last 5 seasons.) (76.5%, +25.8 units. Rating = 3*).

Lake Como and Bellagio -- by Paige Rakers
Last night we arrive in Como, Italy, after a four-hour bus rid. Once we arrived, we checked into the hotel and settled in. The view outside this hotel is beautiful. You can see part of the city of Como, Lake Como and the mountains in the background.
At dinner, I was honored to sit with the two women who blessed us with this trip of a lifetime: Nancy Lohr and Claudia Borders. While sharing a delicious Italian meal with Nancy and Claudia, not only did i get to know more about them, but they also got to know more about me. It was the perfect start to Italy.
This morning after eating breakfast in the hotel, we walked to the boat stop. After boarding the boat, it was about a two-hour ride to Bellagio. The boat ride was definitely something I will never forget. It was great to spend time with the team and staff while enjoying the breathtaking scenery around Lake Como. That isn't an experience you can get more than once.
The boat ride did get pretty cold with the wind and there was a bit of competition to see who could sit out in the open area the longest. Only some of us lasted the whole ride.
The boat took us to Bellagio and we were split into our assigned groups. My group was Byrd (Cyesha Goree), Kendra (Seto), Cee (Siera Thompson), Emma (Golen) and Coach Joy. Bellagio was amazing. The narrow alleys had stairs to walk up just like you would see in the movies. We walked around, ate some lunch together, looked around the shops and took so many pictures.
The best part of the day has yet to come. We have our second game tonight, and the team is excited to play together again. Even though it will be my second time wearing that Michigan uniform, it will be just as special as the first.
Overall, this trip has been wonderful so far. It is an experience and trip of a lifetime with people I will always remember. I can't wait to see the rest of Italy!

Watching porn doesn't mean he's dissatisfied with his sex life.
Sexually charged images aren't limited to adult films and websites—they're everywhere! From a snapshot of a young ingénue's hoo-ha as she gets out of a limo to the latest celebrity sex tape, we are surrounded by forms of pornography. And, on the Internet most of it is not only easily accessible, it's free.
It's no wonder, then, that there are hundreds of sites dedicated to ending porn addiction. But does this mean that if your partner looks at porn that he has a problem? Does it mean that he doesn't love you or is being unfaithful? Is there room for porn in your relationship?
What happens when you discover your partner is viewing porn? Maybe you feel something is wrong with you, or that something is missing in your relationship. You might begin to question your own attractiveness, or your partner's level of attraction to you. This discovery could affect your self-esteem and your sexual confidence. "Is he thinking about younger, prettier women? Is he being unfaithful to me?" you may ask.
Anger, despair, betrayal are only some of the many feelings that could be triggered by this situation. It is important to notice what emotions this brings up inside of you, and to get to the root of what you are feeling.
One of the most important things for you to realize is the difference between the way men are stimulated and the way women are. With men, sexual stimulation can be a purely visual experience with no connection to the heart. In essence it is a direct connection between the image and sexual arousal—neither his heart nor his imagination are required or necessarily engaged. When women view porn, it usually requires a story (however slight) to ignite her desire for fantasy. Her imagination can become very involved and for a majority of women, igniting the fantasy is the goal! Porn: When It Helps & When It Hurts
We had a client who had discovered that her boyfriend was looking at porn, and she really felt betrayed. She felt that his looking at porn was equal to him being unfaithful. She came to us because she was trying to reconcile her feelings. How could he love her and want to look at other women naked?
We worked with her to get the root of what was causing her distress. For her, it was her own insecurity. Once we established that, we coached her on how to communicate with her boyfriend in a way that allowed her to take responsibility for her own feelings. Once in the conversation, she was able to create deeper intimacy with her boyfriend simply by expressing her emotions authentically. Moving forward together, this couple decided to sometimes include porn in their foreplay. It allowed them to discuss parts of their sex life they had not yet communicated about; it added a "wow!" factor to their imagination and role-play, and ultimately made them a stronger couple by creating deeper intimacy. 5 Thoughts That Prevent Great Sex

I'm not a total believer in Murphy's Law – that what can go wrong, will go wrong – but stuff happens and it's best to be prepared, especially during the holiday season when you may be traveling with the family. Here are my picks for most common travel miscalculations, and some quick fixes. Note: Please put these fixes on your To Do List before you head to the airport.
Listen: You won't screw up with travel expert Rick Seaney's bad weather advice.
10 Travel Screw-ups and Quick Fixes
The less-experienced holiday traveler's biggest mistake? Failure to stay informed, and this comes in all guises. Here are a few.
1. Airline can't reach you
Did you forget to add a phone or email contact when you booked your tickets? If that's the case, the airline can't reach you with flight status updates. This is more important than ever because of the ever-present possibility of bad winter weather (and even if your airports aren't affected by storms, bad weather has a cascading effect on flights and may affect routes not directly impacted by snow). Make sure your airline has multiple contact points for you.
What to expect at the airport during holidays
2. Not checking flight status
Just in case your airline fails to alert you, check on your flight before you head to the airport via the airline site or FlightStats. If your flight is canceled, you need to get on the phone to the airline immediately to get on the next available plane. If your flight is delayed, head to the airport anyway; delays can evaporate without warning and you don't want to miss your flight.
3. Not checking the airport drive or parking
Leave extra early. You know how bad the drive to the airport is normally? Plan on it being much, much worse for the holidays. Same for parking. Airport websites and apps often have updated parking info but be prepared for the possibility of parking off-site (and maybe way off-site).
Once you're on the plane – will it have Wi-Fi? Find out
4. Failure to check lines are at security
The MyTSA app can tell you which line to head for – and maybe even direct you to a less busy terminal that connects to the one you need to get to. When time is tight, sometimes a minute here or there makes all the difference .
5. Neglecting social media for airlines, airports
You know why airlines (and in many cases, airports) like Twitter and Facebook? It gets the word out quickly. If you want information fast, you need to get onboard, too.
6. Failure to anticipate customs lines
If you're coming to the U.S. from outside the country, you may run into a two hour wait at customs and immigration. This is where signing up for a trusted traveler program can save you time and hassle.
7. Packing the same old way as always
Using a carry-on will get you in and out of the airport more quickly plus it will save on bag fees. If you must check a bag, try to use one that's easily distinguished from others and slip a business card inside so it can be identified if labels come off and the bag goes missing.
Yes, you can fit everything in a carry-on – here's how
8. Lack of distractions
Having a day's worth of distractions (electronics, toys, games, books) is a must if traveling with the family but important for anyone who may have to sit in an airport all day long. Don't forget the food either or you'll be stuck with expensive airport fare.
9. No local information
Set up a weather app for all cities in your itinerary; think of it as another early-warning system for what might happen to your well-laid plans
10. Failure to have Plan B
Do you know what to do if your flight is canceled? You can help your airline rep do a better job for you if you know what other airlines fly to your destination and when. Also, be prepared to pay for a hotel room if plans go awry and you can't fly out until the next day. The more effort you make, the better your chances of using Plan B to get to Destination A in plenty of time for the holiday festivities.

Lorient defender Lamine Kone claims it is "quite easy" to play against Monaco star Radamel Falcao.
Falcao's side secured a hard-fought 1-0 win over Kone's Lorient on Sunday after the Colombian striker won and converted a penalty, taking his tally to four goals in just five games in Ligue 1. Even so, Kone claims he was never unduly tested by Falcao in last weekend's fixture and insists the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Bafetimbi Gomis are far sterner opponents in France's top flight.
"Is he [Falcao] the most difficult player I have had to mark? Frankly, no," Kone told France Football. "In fact, he's quite easy to mark.
"There are more difficult players in Ligue 1. Ibrahimovic, for example, is a genuine poison. Bafe Gomis or even [Saint-Etienne striker] Brandao are also very hard to mark. They are powerful, and strong with their backs to goal. It's hard to get the ball off them."
Monaco currently sits atop the Ligue 1 standings after claiming 13 points from the first five games of the season.

How to insulate attic crawl space
I am adding insulation to a salt box cape. I am located in Rhode Island. I have 2 seperate attic areas. The first area is above the bedroom which is easy to insulate. The second area is an area through one of the bedroom and runs the full length front side of the house. This crawl space is insulated with R19. The insulation is along the rafters. During winter this space is cold and leaks into the bedroom. The knee wall door is insulated to R30. I would like to improve insulation in this area. My question is should I insulate the knee walls in this space and or floor with unfaced insulation? If I do insulate this area will I run into ventilation problems? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Knee walls are fun. :jester: In my mind this is all attic space which should be R30 whether the insulation is horizontal or vertical. Air leakage is a big issue and if you have the money, spray the whole thing with open cell foam.
You can use fiberglass insulation if you are scrupulous with air sealing. Seal the edges of the drywall wearever you can with caulk. Also the pipe and wire penetrations. Also caulk wherever wood boards come together. To address air leakage underneath the knee walls, take a plastic bag, fill it with insulation and shove it in the holes between the floor rafters. Foam the edge of the bags with canned spray foam. You can also buy one of those DIY foam kits such as "Foam it Green". It is faster than caulking. Cover everythign with R30 fiberglass, being careful to cut it to fit.
Maintain the air channels whereever the finished space reaches the roof. I like to cover the faces of the insulation that are open to the kneewall with Tyvek. Tape the tyvek together with "Tyvek Tape" and tape it to the wood around the edges. Fold the Tyvek under the styrofoam that makes the air channels next to the roof.
Make sure all access doors latch well and have weather stripping. Air sealing is the key.
1 Attachment(s)
Thanks for the reply. So I should insulate the knee wall and the floor with R30 unfaced and the rafters with R19 faced? Attached is a photo that replicates my attic. Thanks.
Forgot to mention this attic area has duct work in the floor.
For Rhode Island I would do the whole thing with R30 faced. You want to be sure the duct work joints are sealed with metal foil tape and the perimeter of the duct is sealed to the drywall below it and the knee wall above it where it goes under the knee wall.
I agree totally with Perpetually. Air sealing and R30 are the way to, spray foam if you can afford it will accomplish both. Here's a possible problem with your situation, the duct work is in the attic space and the insulation is in the rafters, which means, this is technically conditioned space. (You mentioned the kneewall door is R30, just the door?) It should not be cold in there, it should be the same temp. as your bedroom. Inaddition to the rafters, the gable end walls should be insulated too. Typically you would insulate the rafters and gable ends OR the kneewall and floor joists. If you properly insulate the kneewall and floor joists, your ducts will be running through unconditioned space meaning they will need to be insulated themselves. You may be better off re-insulating the rafters and gable ends properly OR insulate the kneewall then blow in insulation on the floor, up to 30" deep, so the ducts will be at the bottom of the blown-in insulation.
I think I will insulate the knee wall and floor with R30 and possibly add an additional R30 unfaced. I probably will keep the R19 in the rafters and add an additonal vapor barrier basicly because if I place R30 in the raftes,I will have to compress the insulation to fit. Wouldn't this decrease the efficiency of R30? Thanks for the help.
Yes, compressing insulation reduces the Rvalue greatly

A typical day on the Gorgeously Green Diet might start with a bowl of homemade nutty granola or an Orange Bran Flax muffin, for lunch you might chomp on a Lentil and Quinoa salad or spoon up a bowl of Garlicky Cucumber Soup, and for dinner you might feast on a Warm Scallop salad, Citrus Roast Chicken or Three-Mushroom Fettuccine. Dessert might be Pomegranate, Banana and Ginger Brulee, Flourless Chocolate Cake or Apple Crunch. Overall, the book includes 100 recipes.
Since the emphasis is on quality and not quantity, there are no nutritional stats for recipes.EXERCISE
The Gorgeously Green Diet encourages that you create a fitness goal. The exercise plan includes partaking in one vigorous activity once a day for 30 minutes or more. Finding a physical activity that you enjoy doing whether it's walking, jumping on the trampoline or playing tennis, is strongly endorsed since it makes the difference between you sticking to your fitness goal or ditching it after a few days.
In addition, the guide gives you a number of strength-training and flexibility exercises that you can do from your own home. You will need basic props like a stable chair, 2-5 pound weights and a resistance band to do them. Five of the exercises in the book should be done every day following your cardiovascular workout.CONCLUSION
The Gorgeously Green Diet is a well-rounded and informative guide to help you green over your life. From what you eat to how you exercise and to the products that you clean your house with, this female-targeted guide teaches you about the importance of green-living and how to incorporate it into your life regardless of your income or level of experience.
With its reliance on natural and unprocessed foods, you might find yourself losing weight but since the Gorgeously Green Diet does not include a day-to-day eating plan or any nutrition statistics alongside its recipes, you might find yourself crunching calorie numbers on your calculator, if that sort of thing matters to you.
Overall, the Gorgeously Green Diet is an educational, proactive and hands-on guide to helping you live a more mindful and healthier life.Common Misspellings

My first serious attempt at any form of graffiti. I've been running with some writers for a year or so now and finally getting my arse in gear to start work on my own material. Please critique the hell out of it as I really love graff and want to improve.
Gim- why is the person green
The L and O do not fit the piece i know. but i would still appreciate some crits.

@zeta I like the grimeyness of it, but the letters suck... keep expirementing
@block you should have kinked your L, and kept the O the same. Would have balanced the piece. Those little bumps on the letters are stange, and dont really add anything visually because theres not many of them... your on the right track tho keep doin ya thing

bruzr, those are honestly two sick ass pieces, and those throws are tight too. only crit i can think of is maybe the pyramid in the last one coulda been done better.
block, i don't like the random geometry lying around the piece, including the little circles reach mentioned. the L and O also seem like they should take up more space than they do.
goof, looks like a tumour, get rid of those extensions/lumps/whatever. for your first ever attempt at graffiti though that's damn good, way better than my first.
gimp, keep practicing straight letters, and practice keeping all your barsthe same thickness throughout the whole piece.
I sever heads, just to sharpen my skills
an S! so thaaaaat's what it wasss
pit, i like thoes alot dude especailly the paint major props for getting that character up looks good. im sure you mean it to be that way, but i feel like you should fix it's eyes so it looks more impressive. great work though.
Toy Incoming any suggestions for either of these? did them in school so no great color selection. any tips as to what i should fill in the background with and stuff? real toy hahah
that natasha tag is dope
Last edited by Zookyook; 10-13-2011 at 12:42 AM.
Personally i think your focused too much on the fill and less on letter structure. The fill is dop as balls but it seems a bit excessive especially since the letters are only so-so
Bringing back one of my old styles. Crits?

Four years ago Dinesh D'Souza, author of the best selling book The Roots of Obama's Rage, referred to reports of a man living in a hut in Nairobi, Kenya "like something out of 'Slumdog Millionaire'", named George Obama. That man, the younger half-brother of U.S. President Barack Obama, is about to make his film debut in the upcoming feature-length documentary "2016: Obama's America."
Intrigued, D'Souza tracks George Obama down in his village of Huruma Flats and interviews him extensively. Sitting on a park bench, D'Souza challenges the unknown Obama to some serious questions, such as "why is the blood relative of the most powerful man on the planet living in poverty without any help whatsoever from big brother President Obama."
"I think he has a family of his own. I'm a member of his family, but I'm over-age, so I help myself."
D'Souza presses George using the Biblical passage "we are our brothers keeper" which the president himself has also cited on numerous occasions, and George is hard pressed to deliver a sustainable reason.
"He's got other issues to deal with. He's taking care of the world, so he's taking care of me."
The movie deals in large part, however, with Barack Obama's alleged anger at colonialism which the president supposedly inherited from his and George's mutual father.
D'Souza wrote in his book: "This philandering, inebriated African socialist, who raged against the world for denying him the realization of his anti-colonial ambitions, is now setting the nation's agenda through the reincarnation of his dreams in his son."
When D'Souza asked George Obama about his colonialism theory it was met with agreement from George, who added that Kenya is worse off now than before it's independence.
The youngest Obama, George co-wrote a book in 2012 and seems to have captured the intrigue of D'Souza who stated:
"George is the rebel in Obama's family. He's the black sheep. George doesn't go along with the worship of the father and he is politically incorrect on a lot of topics. And he's particularly interesting because he lives in rubble on a few dollars a day while his powerful, multimillionaire brother doesn't lift a finger to help him."
At one point during the interview D'Souza jokes that America elected the wrong Obama to be its president.
2016 was produced by Gerald Molen, the Oscar-winning producer of Schindler's List, Jurassic Park, Rain Man and Minority Report, and it was bankrolled by a couple of dozen wealthy investors allegedly from across the political spectrum. The movie opens in Houston this week and is screening by invitation-only in Los Angeles next week. It gets a national limited release on July 27.

This line of thinking may have been generated from the idea that gear drives will set up harmonics which are harmful to the valvetrain. Apparently, this has sound engineering basics, although I have never personally read of or talked to anyone who has experienced problems related to gear drives.
Some of these things get twisted around by the passing of information from one human to another. If you sit 10 people down in a row, whisper any statement to the first one and have the message be passed from one person to the other by whispering between them, the statement will be completely different when it gets to the 10th person.
So it is with the passing of technical information from one person to another. For instance, engineering techs at Blower Drive Service will tell us that a blower motor will operate best on gasoline using a camshaft with a LSA of 110 degrees and that the same motor on alcohol will operate best with a wider LSA of around 114. That has not kept the rumor at bay that ALL blower motors need a wide LSA, a bogus notion passed from one individual to another to another to another.

The project "Technical Assistance in the Environment Sector - Component 2 (Integrated Permitting & Monitoring Systems)" was financed by the National Plan for the Adoption of the Acquis Programme for Malta, 2003. This programme aimed to prepare the Maltese administration to face the challenges posed by EU accession.The main objective of the project was to establish technical standards and information systems for integrating permitting and monitoring processes arising out of the obligations of the EU Acquis. The total budgetary allocation for this project was €350,000, of which €200,000 were provided by the EU, while a further €150,000 was contributed by the Maltese Government.The project was implemented through two separate contractual arrangements. The first was a Twinning "light" contract entitled "Establishment of an Environmental Integrated Permitting & Monitoring System". This contract was launched by MEPA in partnership with the Austrian Federal Environment Agency (UBA) in June 2005.It was completed in February 2006 and resulted in the design of the national environmental monitoring database within a permitting system that supports a comprehensive monitoring and permitting process. One of the aims of the project was to see that relevant conditions in operational permits that require monitoring and reporting are formulated in a manner that allows the information to be reconciled in a structure that complements national monitoring programs. It also ensured that monitoring information systems provide the necessary outputs to facilitate public access to information and major data flows to the European Environment Agency.The second phase of the project involved a separate service contract which resulted in the actual IT development of the systems designed under the Twinning "light". This service contract started in February 2006 and was concluded in November 2006.Within MEPA, the project was coordinated by the Information & Communication Technology Unit with assistance from the EU and Multilateral Affairs Unit.
This project has been realised with the financial assistance of the European Union

Bulgarian winemakers pin hopes on quality
By Tsvetelia Ilieva
BRESTOVITSA, Bulgaria (Reuters) - Bulgaria's economy is fast losing steam, exports are shrinking and corruption is threatening the European Union aid that has underpinned growth. But the Todoroff winery has a strategy.
"We expect a collapse which we will try to overcome with high-quality wine," says its manager Kiril Izmirov.
Wines from the Balkan country have been known more for quantity than quality, and Bulgaria now accounts for only 0.6 percent of world production.
Boutique wineries such as Todoroff, which have made use of European Union funds in the past five years to recast Bulgaria's reputation, hope a mix of Thracian mystery and top-quality grapes from one of the world's oldest winemaking regions will help.
Perched on the hillsides of what was once the heart of ancient Thrace, Todoroff includes a chic hotel that offers body therapy based on grape products. Its bet is that consumers will keep drinking wines and, even if overall prices come down, good quality at a reasonable price can survive.
Financial problems and an economic slump in Bulgaria's main export markets -- Russia, Britain, Poland and Germany -- are likely to reduce sales abroad by about 30 percent this year, says Radoslav Radev, managing director at Vinimpex, Bulgaria's biggest wine exporter, controlled by Belvedere of France.
Tighter credit has cramped the wine industry's investment plans globally and consumption of expensive drinks has suffered. Analysts say demand generally will remain high, however, and financial turmoil opens the way to consolidation and efficiency.
"The view is that consumers would not walk away from wine because it is considered by many as a luxury for the masses," said Arend Heijbroek, a wine analyst at Dutch Rabobank. Continued...

Defence Correspondent
Judge Richard Goldstone, head of the International War Crimes tribunal on former Yugoslavia, is due to visit Bosnia this month, following reports of the existence of a huge mass grave in a mine in the north-west.
His arrival may help to reveal the scale of war crimes in Bosnia, which is still shrouded in mystery. Nato has said it will not intervene. "Investigating mass graves is not part of my job. Establishing an environment in which others can do their job is part of my job," Admiral Leighton Smith, commander of Nato's peace implementation force (I-For), said yesterday.
"Nato is not mandated to go into an area where there may or may not be graves", said Colonel James Ellery, director of public information for I-For. "When the relevant authorities - the war crimes tribunal - decide the time is right to go in, they will do that. If they need assistance from I-For to get there, they will request it." Nato said it had not received requests from the war crimes tribunal, or other organisations, to escort investigators.
The UN, which controls an international civilian police force, may conduct preliminary investigations into allegations of mass graves, an official said, but would go no further. Antonio Pedauye, the UN co-ordinator, said the exhumation of graves would require forensic expertise available only to the tribunal.
"I would separate [human rights] from mass graves, serious violations of international law under the Geneva convention - that is up to the tribunal and the ICRC [International Committee of the Red Cross]," he said."The UN is here to act on violations of human rights now and in the future."
One Red Cross spokesman, Pierre Gauthier, disclaimed any ICRC responsibility for the investigation of mass graves. "We have not the mandate to dig up mass graves, we have not the know-how and we have not the enforcement," he said.
Reporters visited the open-cast mine at Ljubija without hindrance from Serb soldiers but found little to confirm allegations. Although British Nato troops responsible for the area where the alleged mass grave may be have been passing information to the representative of the war crimes tribunal, they had received no request for help yesterday, Col Ellery said.
"We just don't have the manpower", said Col Ellery. "The manpower is sufficient for the allocated tasks." These include supervising the withdrawal of the former warring sides from a "zone of separation" either side of the boundary between the two "entities" in Bosnia.
Given the scale of "ethnic cleansing" in the area, many of the allegations are probably true. But proof will only come when the tribunal experts come in and dig. The same is true for three alleged mass graves near Srebrenica, the Muslim enclave that fell to Serb forces in July. More than 2,000 people from Srebrenica are still missing.
