Compare great BMW Overheating Problems prices in Chingford with Who Can Fix My Car.
My local garage was trying to charge me a fortune for A DMF and clutch for my Skoda Octavia .So I thought I'd do some research and ended up on this website .The First person to quote was Patrick and from then on it was a pleasure dealing with him .I never even saw his garage in Enfield ,he picked my car up for free in Kilburn and had it back within 24 hrs completed .This guy lives ,eats and breathes cars ..especially clutches I think ! He answered all my questions and I got a really good price and also new front shock absorbers and a years warranty on parts and labour .Check out all his awards -I'll definitely recommend him to everyone David (Kilburn )
excellent service very quick and honest would highly recommend. Patrick is very helpful and friendly .
Fantastic, have recommended to all my friends and family!
Great service from Patrick done the job within 24hs And done a great job can't ask for much better than that..Highly recommend thanks you Patrick top man
excellent service
Very helpful, happy to deal with again
Great help notified the problems on my van Even changed the lamp that was out on the van And going to give me a quote to fix the remaining bits Explained it in detail so I understood
Micheal is indeed an amazing mechanic, not only is he knowledge about cars, he is friendly and honest. I contacted him about my Automatic Yaris because the clutch was playing up. I'd already had an AA call out . I called Toyato to book a check up, they told me it would cost £144 excl VAT for a diagnostic before even working on it. When I got in contact with Mike, he said it would cost £55. Mike knew exactly what was wrong with car, he was able to order the same (original) parts used by Toyota from the same manufacturers who supply to Toyota. He repaired my car at half the cost that I would have paid with Toyota. Throughout the week, he kept me informed and when I got my car back all was explained clearly in layman terms to me- no mechanical jargon that leaves you feeling stupid or that somehow you've been taken for a ride! I 'm so glad I found him. I have my car back, driving smoothly not hiccuping as it was about a week ago. THANKS MIKE!
Many thanks to Michael Morrison at Sphynx Vehicle Repairs for his excellent work on my Ford Transit T280 van. A couple of weeks ago I took it to him for various things to be done. In addition to some general servicing in preparation for the MOT, I also had two immediate serious problems with leaks in the fuel system and in the coolant system. I only just got to the garage by the time the coolant drained completely. I am certain a less scrupulous garage might have exploited my situation as it would have been at this point very difficult for me to take the van elsewhere. I am very happy to say that didn't happen. When I left the van with Mike at the garage the engine compartment was an absolute mess due to engine and diesel oil and coolant mixture. Mike's first task was to thoroughly clean the engine compartment and components and then report to me next day on what he recommended needed to be done. No work was done without proper discussion and agreement and afterwards I received a properly itemised invoice. I left the van with him on Friday and by agreement picked it up on the Tuesday – repaired, serviced and with MOT certificate. I am satisfied that all the work done was work that needed to be done and that his labour and parts were competitively priced. I've done 1245 miles since getting the van back from Mike and its performing very nicely. I am able to confidently say that this has been one of the best garage experiences I've had in more than 40 years of motoring.
Very good service... On time and very quick... repaired my faults even tho I ha d miss diagnosed and what was clearly needed was more work than quoted. Still charged same price... even took me to cashpoint and back. LEGEND.
My experience of major service + MOT (BMW 1 series) has been great with Car Technic. Daniel is a very competent mechanic who knows his business well. He is polite and easy to deal with. I really liked his frequent, honest and straightforward communication. No pushing whatsoever...... He also identified/rectified an issue which had been caused by some dodgy work by another bloke months ago. Anyway car seems to be in great shape..... Thank you!
Car Technic delivered a great service for a great price. Would highly recommend
Daniel is a good guy, collected and dropped car off when convenient for me. No fuss, easy and the car is sorted. Couple of new tyres needed so price higher than estimated. Very happy and would use again.
Very happy with the service. Picked my car up and delivered at the end of the day. This is First class service for me and value for money. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and relatives and to any one.
Excellent workmanship I am very pleased thank you very much
Superb service!!!
Excellent job done. Great service and good communications. Will be using them again
Selected this garage to do my brake pads, disk and sensors on my Bmw 3 series. Communication was good. Did a good job, friendly staff and a nice, clean waiting area.
Cured the problem, but expensive I shouldn't think they are to far off main dealer prices
Excellent, top notch customer service, valeted the car as well
They were great :)
If it would be possible I would give zero star for this garage. Outrageous service, I am not sure if I can call that "service". The owner of this garage is extremely rude, phlegmatic and DISRESPECTFUL! And according to my opinion he is probably racist towards Eastern-European people! First, we discussed the time and the date when for a 1 and half hour work to fix my car. But when I arrived there at the first time (in the arranged time), they did not fix my car because they said I am late. I am just saying we were communicating via this website in chat form, so I have everything in written form. I can prove everything. I was not late. I thought I can give them a second chance (because of their really good price), so we discussed the time and date again via this website, and I went there again in the arranged time, but the same thing happened, but this time the owner of the garage was even yelling to me! Their price offer was so good (£120 cheaper from any other offer), thus I gave them a third chance. But this time I called them before I go there (since I did not want to waste my time and fuel again), they confirmed I can go immediately and they will fix my car (they said it will take 1 and a half hour), but when I arriced there they said I was late again. I arrived there at 10AM and they said I need to leave my car there until 2PM. I told them I work with my car, the only reason I came here on this day in this time because they confirmed I can come here now for 90 minutes work. I told them again, I work with my car, then I got the usual answer from the owner of the garage: "not my problem". Then I left them without any word. They wasted my time and fuel, 3 times and my car is still not fixed! The owner has zero customer service skills, zero flexibility towards customers (his answer to everything: "not my problem, is it?" or "not my business, is it?"). I would never recommend this garage to anyone. Seriously anyone who reads this: AVOID THIS GARAGE!
I don't usually use sites like these to get my car repaired, but i was desperate, so i ended up using this site. Out of all of quotes i got, these guy's came out by FAR the cheapest, at least £100 cheaper than everybody. I thought at first there was a catch, like one of the previous garage's i called on here, they quoted £220 for just the labour and not the parts. But NO these guy's quoted me on exactly how much it would cost ! Quick service, no messing around. They even fitted in some missing clips on my front bumper which was nice of them. And also to top that i asked them how much it would cost to replace my back light bulb and they did that for free too ! Great, quick, reliable service. Will definitely be seeing these guy's again if something (Touch wood nothing) goes wrong ! Daniel.
Paul was very helpful even to the point of picking up my car and returning it. They did a great job. In a good time. I'm just sorry my insurance company were slow on paying up their end. Hopefully now resolved. I will be sending my mums car to him soon. Happy to recommend them to others. AK N14
No I would not recommend this garage. We paid for the vehicle delivered to your garage on the 23/03/16 for a Cam Belt change, we also had the Clutch replaced and Water Pump whilst you had the vehicle, with the understanding that we needed the vehicle back in time for a contract job we was doing. We picked the vehicle up and paid £1050.00 in which we paid when the invoice should have been for £950.00 because we supplied the cam belt kit and drive belt. We paid again for the vehicle to be returned to your garage because the battery went flat and didn't start on the 30/03/16 and then we had to hire a splitter van to replace ours, for 3 days at a rate of £130.00per day. We paid to have the vehicle to be picked up after you telling me that it was the battery at fault, so we agreed to offset the over payment for a new battery. We used the vehicle on 02/04/16 and that evening the vehicle lost lighting it went dim first and then all the warning lights started to come on. We lost the vehicle hire £100.00 for that day of the 02/04/16, and had subcontract hire at a rate of £150.00 for the 03/04/16 for not having a vehicle to for fill our contract. We did not return the vehicle, because of no confidence. We had the vehicle tested, and we was told that the Alternator was faulty so I replaced it myself after taking a photo of the of its position then still getting the right reading from the new Alternator the vehicle was taken to an Auto Electric Technician in which we found that your garage had put the alternator belt on incorrect so it was turning the wrong direction, so we didn't need a battery or an alternator because the vehicle never had a starting or charging problem before it went to you plus the damage to be repaired at a cost £150.00 This is a breakdown of our invoice to you of our losses.
Fantastic service, CSS Motors collected my car the same day I accepted the quote and delivered it back that day with all work carried out. 10 out of 10. will defiantly use again
No one made phone call to confirm the work or any sort of contact
Excellent, efficient, friendly service
not very happy with there service there are a rip off never done what I whited done, there diagnostic was not right. went up the m25 and the turbo was not working and my engine was smoking and empty of oil had to get the aa to recovery me home after waiting 5 hours, I do not no what damage it as done to my engine until Monday the never told me the turbo stop working I will be taking this matter further, Regards Levi.

Lot 41: 1 BOUTEILLE CHAMPAGNE TAITINGER COLLECTION "Rauschenberg" 2000
Wines & Spirits
by Le Brech & Associés
November 17, 2012
Issy-les-Moulineaux, Ile de France, France
Live AuctionDescription: 1 BOUTEILLE CHAMPAGNE TAITINGER COLLECTION "Rauschenberg" 2000
French wine is produced in several regions throughout France, in quantities between 50 and 60 million hectolitres per year, or 7-8 billion bottles.
France has the world's second-largest total vineyard area, behind Spain, and is in the position of being the world's largest wine producer losing it once (in 2008) to Italy.
[1] French wine traces its history to the 6th century BC, with many of France's regions dating their wine-making history to Roman times.
The wines produced today range from expensive high-end wines sold internationally, to more modest wines usually only seen within France.
Two concepts central to higher end French wines are the notion of "terroir", which links the style of the wines to the specific locations where the grapes are grown and the wine is made, and the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) system.
Appellation rules closely define which grape varieties and winemaking practices are approved for classification in each of France's several hundred geographically defined appellations, which can cover entire regions, individual villages or even specific vineyards.
France is the source of many grape varieties (such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, and Syrah) that are now planted throughout the world, as well as wine-making practices and styles of wine that have been adopted in other producing countries.
Although some producers have benefited in recent years from rising prices and increased demand for some of the prestige wines fromBurgundy and Bordeaux, the French wine industry as a whole has been influenced by a slight decline in domestic consumption, as well as growing competition from both the New World and other European countries.
In order to maintain a distinction from Vin de Table, the producers have to submit the wine for analysis and tasting, and the wines have to be made from certain varieties or blends.
Vin Délimité de Qualité Supérieure (VDQS, 0.
9%) - Less strict than AOC, usually used for smaller areas or as a "waiting room" for potential AOCs.
This category will be abolished at the end of 2011.
Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC, 53.
4%) - Wine from a particular area with many other restrictions, including grape varieties and winemaking methods.
The total French production for the 2005 vintage was 43.
9 million hl (plus an additional 9.
4 million hl destined for various brandies), of which 28.
3% was white and 71.
7% was red or rosé.
[10] The proportion of white wine is slightly higher for the higher categories, with 34.
3% of the AOC wine being white.
In years with less favourable vintage conditions than 2005, the proportion of AOC wine tends to be a little lower.
The proportion of Vin de table has decreased considerably over the last decades, while the proportion of AOC has increased somewhat and Vin de Pays has increased considerably.
In 2005 there were 472 different wine AOCs in France.
Since French appellation rules generally restrict wines from each region, district or appellation to a small number of allowed grape varieties, there are in principle no varieties that are commonly planted throughout all of France.
Most varieties of grape are primarily associated with a certain region, such as Cabernet Sauvignon in Bordeaux and Syrah in Rhône, although there are some varieties that are found in two or more regions, such as Chardonnay in Bourgogne (including Chablis) and Champagne, and Sauvignon Blanc in Loire and Bordeaux.
As an example of the rules, although climatic conditions would appear to be favourable, no Cabernet Sauvignon wines are produced in Rhône, Riesling wines in Loire, or Chardonnay wines in Bordeaux.
(If such wines were produced, they would have to be declassified to Vin de Pays or French table wine.
They would not be allowed to display any appellation name or even region of origin.
Traditionally, many French wines have been blended from several grape varieties.
Varietal white wines have been, and are still, more common than varietal red wines.
At the 2007 harvest, the most common grape varieties were the following:
The concept of Terroir, which refers to the unique combination of natural factors associated with any particular vineyard, is important to French vignerons.
[15] It includes such factors as soil, underlying rock, altitude, slope of hill or terrain, orientation toward the sun, and microclimate (typical rain, winds, humidity, temperature variations, etc.
Even in the same area, no two vineyards have exactly the same terroir, thus being the base of the Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) system that has been model for appellation and wine laws across the globe.
In other words: when the same grape variety is planted in different regions, it can produce wines that are significantly different from each other.
[18] In France the concept of terroir manifests itself most extremely in the Burgundy region.
[19] The amount of influence and the scope that falls under the description of terroir has been a controversial topic in the wine industry.
The amount of information included on French wine labels varies depending on which region the wine was made in, and what level of classification the wine carries.
As a minimum, labels will usually state that classification, as well as the name of the producer, and, for wines above the Vin De Table level, will also include the geographical area where the wine was made.
Sometimes that will simply be the wider region where the wine was made, but some labels, especially for higher quality wines, will also include details of the individual village or commune, and even the specific vineyard where the wine was sourced.
With the exception of wines from the Alsace region, France had no tradition of labelling wines with details of the grape varieties used.
Since New World wines made the names of individual grape varieties familiar to international consumers in the late 20th century, more French wineries started to use varietal labelling.
In general, varietal labelling is most common for the Vin de Pays category, although some AOC wines now also display varietal names.
For most AOC wines, if grape varieties are mentioned, they will be in small print on a back label.
Alsace is primarily a white-wine region, though some red, rosé, sparkling and sweet wines are also produced.
It is situated in eastern France on the river Rhine and borders Germany, a country with which it shares many grape varieties as well as a long tradition of varietal labelling.
Grapes grown in Alsace include Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Muscat.
Beaujolais is primarily a red-wine region generally made from the Gamay grape, though some white and sparkling rosé are also produced.
It is situated in central East of France following the river Saone below Burgundy and above Lyon.
There are 12 appellations in Beaujolais including Beaujolais AOC and Beaujolais-Villages AOC and 10 Crus: Brouilly, Regnié, Chiroubles, Cote de Brouilly, Fleurie, Saint-Amour, Chénas, Juliénas, Morgon and Moulin-a-Vent.
The Beaujolais region is also notorious for the Beaujolais Nouveau, a popular vin de primeur which is released annually on the third Thursday of November.
Bordeaux is a large region on the Atlantic coast, which has a long history of exporting its wines overseas.
This is primarily a red wine region, famous for the wines Château Lafite-Rothschild, Château Latour, Château Mouton-Rothschild, Château Margaux and Château Haut-Brion from the Médoc sub-region; Château Cheval Blanc and Château Ausone in Saint-Émilion; and Château Pétrus and Château Le Pin in Pomerol.
The red wines produced are usually blended, from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and sometimes Cabernet Franc.
Bordeaux also makes dry and sweet white wines, including some of the world's most famous sweet wines from the Sauternes appellation, such as Château d'Yquem.
Burgundy or Bourgogne in eastern France is a region where red and white wines are equally important.
Probably more terroir-conscious than any other region, Burgundy is divided into the largest number of appellations of any French region.
The top wines from Burgundy's heartland in Côte d'Or command high prices.
The Burgundy region is divided in four main parts:
The Cote de Nuits (from Marsannay-La-Cote down to Nuits-Saint-Georges)
The Cote de Beaune (from north of Beaune to Santenay)
The Cote Chalonnaise
The Maconnais
Two parts of Burgundy that are sometimes considered as separate regions are:
Beaujolais in the south, close to the Rhône Valley region, where mostly red wines are made in a fruity style that is usually consumed young.
"Beaujolais Nouveau" is the only wine that can be legally consumed in the year of its production (Third week end of November)
Chablis, halfway between Côte d'Or and Paris, where white wines are produced on chalky soil giving a more crisp and steely style than the rest of Burgundy.
There are two main grape varieties used in Burgundy - Chardonnay for white wines, and Pinot Noir for red.
White wines are also sometimes made from Aligoté, and other grape varieties will also be found occasionally.
Jura, a small region in the mountains close to Switzerland where some unique wine styles, notably Vin Jaune and Vin de Paille, are produced.
The region covers six appellations and is related to Burgundy through its extensive use of the Burgundian grapes Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, though other varieties are used.
It also shares cool climate with Burgundy.
Languedoc-Roussillon is the largest region in terms of vineyard surface, and the region in which much of France's cheap bulk wines have been produced.
While still the source of much of France's and Europe's overproduction, the so-called "wine lake", Languedoc-Roussillon is also the home of some innovative producers who combine traditional French wine and international styles while using lessons from the New World.
Much Languedoc-Roussillon wine is sold as Vin de Pays d'Oc.
Loire valley is a primarily white-wine region that stretches over a long distance along the Loire River in central and western France, and where grape varieties and wine styles vary along the river.
Four sub-regions are situated along the river:
Upper Loire is known for its Sauvignon Blanc, producing wines such as Sancerre AOC, but also consisting of several VDQS areas;
Touraine produces cold climate-styled white wines (dry, sweet or sparkling) from Chenin Blanc in Vouvray AOC and red wines from Cabernet Franc in Bourgueil AOC and Chinon AOC;
Anjou-Saumur is similar to the Tourain wines with respect to varieties, but the dry Savennières AOC and sweet Coteaux du Layon AOC are often more powerful than their upstream neighbours.
Saumur AOC and Saumur-Champigny AOC provides reds; and
Pays Nantais is situated closest to the Atlantic, and Muscadet AOC produces white wines from the Melon de Bourgogne grape.
Provence, in the south-east and close to the Mediterranean.
It is perhaps the warmest wine region of France and produces mainly rosé and red wine.
It covers eight major appellations led by the Provence flagship, Bandol.
[25] Some Provence wine can be compared with the Southern Rhône wines as they share both grapes and, to some degree, style and climate.
[25][26][27] Provence also has a classification of its most prestigious estates, much like Bordeaux.
Rhone Valley, primarily a red-wine region in south-eastern France, along the Rhône River.
The styles and varietal composition of northern and southern Rhône differ, but both parts compete with Bordeaux as traditional producers of red wines.
South West France
South West France or Sud-Ouest, a somewhat heterogeneous collection of wine areas inland or south of Bordeaux.
Some areas produce primarily red wines in a style reminiscent of red Bordeaux, while other produce dry or sweet white wines.
Areas within Sud-Ouest include among other:
Bergerac and other areas of upstream Dordogne;
Areas of upstream Garonne, including Cahors;
Areas in Gascony, also home to the production of Armagnac, Madiran, Côtes de Gascogne, Côtes de Saint-Mont, Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh and Tursan;
Béarn, such as Jurançon; and
Basque Country areas, such as Irouléguy.
There are also several smaller production areas situated outside these major regions.
Many of those are VDQS wines, and some, particularly those in more northern locations, are remnants of production areas that were once larger.
Alsace wine or Alsatian wine (in French: Vin d'Alsace) is produced in the Alsace region in France and is primarily white.
These wines, which for historical reasons have a strong Germanic influence, are produced under three different Appellations d'Origine Contrôlées (AOCs): Alsace AOC for white, rosé and red wines, Alsace Grand Cru AOC for white wines from certain classified vineyards and Crémant d'Alsace AOC for sparkling wines.
Both dry and sweet white wines are produced, and are often made from aromatic grapes varieties.
Along with Austria and Germany, it produces some of the most noted dry Rieslings in the world, but on the export market, Alsace is perhaps even more noted for highly aromatic Gewürztraminer wines.
Because of its Germanic influence, it is the only region in France to produce mostly varietal wines, typically from similar grapes as used in German wine.
In 2006, vines were grown on 15,298 hectares (37,800 acres) in 119 villages in Alsace, and 111.
3 million litres of wine was produced, corresponding to 148.
4 million bottles of 750 ml, generating 478.
8 million euro in revenue.
Of the vineyard surface, 78% was classified for the production of AOC Alsace wines, 4% for AOC Alsace Grand Cru and 18% for AOC Crémant d'Alsace.
[1] About 90% of the wine produced is white.
[2] 25% of the production is exported, and the five largest export markets for still Alsace wine in terms of volume are Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and the United States.
Beaujolais (French pronunciation: [boʒoˈlɛ]) is a French Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) wine generally made of the Gamay grape which has a thin skin and is low in tannins.
Like most AOC wines they are not labeled varietally.
Whites from the region, which make up only 1% of its production, are made mostly with Chardonnay grapes though Aligoté is also permitted.
Beaujolais tends to be a very light-bodied red wine, with relatively high amounts of acidity.
In some vintages, Beaujolais produces more wine than the Burgundy wine regions of Chablis, Côte d'Or, Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais put together.
The wine takes its name from the historical Beaujolais province and wine producing region.
It is located north of Lyon, and covers parts of the north of the Rhône département (Rhône-Alpes) and parts of the south of the Saône-et-Loire département (Burgundy).
While administratively considered part of the Burgundy wine region, the climate is closer to the Rhône and the wine is unique enough to be considered separately from Burgundy and Rhône.
The region is known internationally for its long tradition of winemaking, uniquely emphasized the use of carbonic maceration, and more recently for the popular Beaujolais nouveau.
A Bordeaux wine is any wine produced in the Bordeaux region of France.
Average vintages produce over 700 million bottles of Bordeaux wine, ranging from large quantities of everyday table wine, to some of the most expensive and prestigious wines in the world.
89% of wine produced in Bordeaux is red (called "claret" in Britain), with notable sweet white wines such as Chateau d'Yquem, dry whites, rosé and sparkling wines (Crémant de Bordeaux) all making up the remainder.
Bordeaux wine is made by more than 8,500 producers or châteaux.
There are 60 appellations of Bordeaux wine.
The history of wine production seems to have begun sometime after 48 AD, during the Roman occupation of St.
Émilion, when the Romans established vineyards to cultivate wine for the soldiers.
[2] However, it is only in 71 AD that Pliny recorded the first real evidence of vineyards in Bordeaux.
[3] France's first extensive vineyards were established by Rome in around 122 BC in today's Languedoc, the better part of two hundred years earlier.
Although domestically popular, French wine was seldom exported, as the area covered by vineyards and the volume of wine produced were low.
In the 12th century however, the popularity of Bordeaux wines increased dramatically following the marriage of Henry Plantagenet and Aliénor d'Aquitaine.
[5] The marriage made the province of Aquitaine English territory, and thenceforth the majority of Bordeaux was exported.
[5] This accounts for the ubiquity of claret in England.
As the popularity of Bordeaux wine increased, the vineyards expanded to accommodate the demands from abroad.
Being the land tax beneficiary, Henry II was in favor of this industry, and to increase it further, abolished export taxes to England from the Aquitaine region.
In the 13th and 14th century, a code of business practices called the police des vins emerged to give Bordeaux wine a distinct trade advantage over its neighboring regions.
The export of Bordeaux was effectively halted by the outbreak of The Hundred Years' War between France and England in 1337.
[5] By the end of the conflict in 1453 France had repossessed the province, thus taking control of wine production in the region.
In 1725, the spread of vineyards throughout Bordeaux was so vast that it was divided into specific areas so that the consumer could tell exactly where each wine was from.
The collection of districts was known as the Vignoble de Bordeaux, and bottles were labeled with both the region and the area from which they originated.
From 1875-1892 almost all Bordeaux vineyards were ruined by Phylloxera infestations.
[5] The region's wine industry was rescued by grafting native vines on to pest-resistant American rootstock and all Bordeaux vines that survive to this day are a product of this action.
[5] This is not to say that all contemporary Bordeaux wines are truly American wines, as rootstock does not affect the production of grapes.
Owing to the lucrative nature of this business, other areas in France began growing their own wines and labeling them as Bordeaux products.
As profits in the Aquitaine region declined, the vignerons demanded that the government impose a law declaring that only produce from Bordeaux could be labeled with this name.
The Institut National des Appellations d'Origine (INAO) was created for this purpose.
In 1936, the government responded to the appeals from the winemakers and stated that all regions in France had to name their wines by the place in which they had been produced.
Labeled with the AOC approved stamp, products were officially confirmed to be from the region that it stated.
This law later extended to other goods such as cheese, poultry and vegetables.
The economic problems in the 1970s, in the wake of the 1973 oil crisis marked a difficult period for Bordeaux.
A series of scandals coincided with a commercial crisis in Bordeaux.
The vintage of 1972 had been overpriced as was 1973 and 1974.
And when the market crashed the négociants were stuck with overpriced wine that they could not sell.
[7] The early 1980s saw a new trend.
Inheritance taxes were doubled in 1981 and on top of the crisis in the 1970s, many families found it increasingly difficult to hang on to their châteaux.
Enter domestic and foreign insurance companies, banks and other corporate giants.
Some of these companies were looking for a quick profit, others were in it as a long-term investment.
But the 1980s decade wasn't all bad.
It also saw more great vintages in a single decade than ever before and a new era in other respects.
First, wine critics (rather than just official classifications) started to have an influence on demand and prices.
Wine critic Robert M.
Parker, Jr.
reviewed the 1982 Bordeaux vintage as the most sumptuous vintage in decades.
Not only was this a turning point for Bordeaux wine economically, it also represented the beginning of an American domination of the reviewing of wine, especially Bordeaux.
[8] The result was a broader appeal of Bordeaux wine where the presence of fruit became a much more important factor than previously.
This critical selection of grapes also resulted in many chateaux introducing second wines,[9] so not to waste good but not optimum quality grapes.
It was also the introduction of the en primeur concept where traders alongside critics are invited to Bordeaux six months after harvest, to sample the new wine.
Bordeaux used to have a significant production of white wines, with Entre-deux-Mers, a primarily white wine area.
Unlike the style of dry white Bordeaux favoured today, with almost 100% Sauvignon Blanc and a heavy influence of new oak, the traditional Entre-deux-Mers whites had a high proportion of Semillion and were made in either old oak barrels or steel tanks.
Starting in the 1960s and 1970s, these vineyards were converted to red wine production (of Bordeaux AOC and Bordeaux Supérieur AOC), and the production of white wine has decreased ever since.
Today production of white wine has shrunk to about one tenth of Bordeaux's total production, with 11.
0% of the vineyard surface in 2007 used for white wines (7.
8% for dry, 3.
2% for sweet).
Red Bordeaux, which is traditionally known as claret in the United Kingdom, is generally made from a blend of grapes.
Permitted grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Carménère.
[15] Today Malbec and Carmenere are rarely used, with Château Clerc Milon, a fifth growth Bordeaux, being one of the few to still retain Carménère vines.
As a very broad generalization, Cabernet Sauvignon (Bordeaux's second-most planted grape variety) dominates the blend in red wines produced in the Médoc and the rest of the left bank of the Gironde estuary.
Typical top-quality Chateaux blends are 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc & 15% Merlot.
This is typically referred to as the "Bordeaux Blend.
" Merlot (Bordeaux's most-planted grape variety) and to a lesser extent Cabernet Franc (Third most planted variety) tend to predominate in Saint-Émilion, Pomerol and the other right bank appellations.
These Right Bank blends from top-quality Chateaux are typically 70% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc & 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.
White Bordeaux is predominantly, and exclusively in the case of the sweet Sauternes, made from Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle - Typical blends are usually 80% Sémillon, 20% Sauvignon Blanc.
As with the reds, white Bordeaux wines are usually blends, most commonly of Sémillon and a smaller proportion of Sauvignon Blanc.
Other permitted grape varieties are Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Merlot Blanc, Ondenc and Mauzac.
In the late 1960s Sémillon was the most planted grape in Bordeaux.
Since then it has been in constant decline although it still is the most common of Bordeaux's white grapes.
Sauvignon Blanc's popularity on the other hand has been rising, overtaking Ugni Blanc as the second most planted white Bordeaux grape in the late 1980s and now being grown in an area more than half the size of that of the lower yielding Sémillon.
Wineries all over the world aspire to making wines in a Bordeaux style.
In 1988, a group of American vintners formed The Meritage Association to identify wines made in this way.
Although most Meritage wines come from California, there are members of the Meritage Association in 18 states and five other countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Israel, and Mexico.
Burgundy wine (French: Bourgogne or Vin de Bourgogne) is wine made in the Burgundy region in eastern France,[1] in the valleys and slopes west of the Saône River, a tributary of the Rhône.
The most famous wines produced here - those commonly referred to as "Burgundies" - are red wines made from Pinot Noir grapes or white wines made from Chardonnay grapes.
Red and white wines are also made from other grape varieties, such as Gamay and Aligoté respectively.
Small amounts of rosé and sparkling wine are also produced in the region.
Chardonnay-dominated Chablis and Gamay-dominated Beaujolais are formally part of the Burgundy wine region, but wines from those subregions are usually referred to by their own names rather than as "Burgundy wines".
Burgundy has a higher number of appellations d'origine contrôlée (AOCs) than any other French region, and is often seen as the most terroir-conscious of the French wine regions.
The various Burgundy AOCs are classified from carefully delineated Grand Cru vineyards down to more non-specific regional appellations.
The main levels in the Burgundy classifications, in descending order of quality, are: Grand crus, Premier crus, village appellations, and finally regional appellations:
Grand Cru wines are produced from the small number of the best vineyard sites in the Côte d'Or, as strictly defined by the AOC laws.
Grand Cru wines make up 2% of the production at 35 hectoliters per hectare.
These wines are generally produced in a style meant for cellaring, and typically need to be aged a minimum of 5-7 years.
The best examples can be kept for more than 15 years.
Grand Cru wines will only list the name of the vineyard as the appellation - such as Corton or Montrachet - on the wine label, plus the Grand Cru term, but not the village name.
Premier Cru wines are produced from specific vineyard sites that are still considered to be of high quality, but not as well regarded as the Grand Cru sites.
Premier Cru wines make up 12% of production at 45 hectoliters/hectare.
These wines often should be aged 3-5 years, and again the best wines can keep for much longer.
Premier Cru wines are labelled with the name of the village of origin, the Premier cru status, and usually the vineyard name, for example, "Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets".
Some Premier Cru wines are produced from several Premier Cru vineyards in the same village, and do not carry the name of an individual vineyard.
Village appellation wines are produced from a blend of wines from supposedly lesser vineyard sites within the boundaries of one of 42 villages, or from one individual but non-classified vineyard.
Wines from each different village are considered to have their own specific qualities and characteristics,[5][6] and not all Burgundy communes have a village appellation.
Village wines make up 36% of production at 50 hectoliters/hectare.
These wines can be consumed 2-4 years after the release date, although again some examples will keep for longer.
Village wines will show the village name on the wine label, such as "Pommard", and sometimes - if applicable - the name of the single vineyard or climat where it was sourced.
[9] Several villages in Burgundy have appended the names of their Grand Cru vineyards to the original village name - hence village names such as "Puligny-Montrachet" and "Aloxe-Corton".
Regional appellation wines are wines which are allowed to be produced over the entire region, or over an area significantly larger than that of an individual village.
[10] At the village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru level, only red and white wines are found, but some of the regional appellations also allow the production of rosé and sparkling wines as well as wines dominated by other grape varieties than Pinot Noir or Chardonnay.
[4] These appellations can be divided into three groups:
AOC Bourgogne, the standard or "generic" appellation for red or white wines made anywhere throughout the region, and represent simpler wines which are still similar to the village.
These wines may be produced at 55 hectoliters/hectare.
These wines are typically intended for immediate consumption, within 3 years after the vintage date.
Subregional (sous-régional) appellations cover a part of Burgundy larger than a village.
Examples are Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits and Mâcon-Villages.
[10] Typically, those communes which do not have a village appellation, do have access to at least one subregional appellation.
This level is sometimes described as intermediate between AOC Bourgogne and the village level.
Wines of specific styles or other grape varieties include white Bourgogne Aligoté (which is primarily made with the Aligoté grape), red Bourgogne Passe-Tout-Grains (which can contain up to two thirds Gamay) and sparkling Crémant de Bourgogne.
Chablis wines are labeled using a similar hierarchy of Grand Cru, Premier Cru and Village wines, plus Petit Chablis as a level below Village Chablis, whereas wines from Beaujolais are treated differently again.
In general, producers are always allowed to declassify their wine in steps to a lower ranked AOC if they wish to do so.
Thus, a wine from a Grand Cru vineyard may be sold as a Premier Cru from that vineyard's village, a Premier Cru wine may be sold as a Village wine and so on.
This practice will almost invariably mean that the declassified wine will have to be sold at a lower price, so this is only practiced when there is something to be gained overall in the process.
One motive may be to only include vines of a certain age in a Grand Cru wine, in order to improve its quality and raise its prestige and price, in which case the wine coming from younger vines may be sold as a Premier Cru at a lower price.
Overall, such a practice may allow a producer to keep a higher average price for the wine sold.
In total, there are around 150 separate AOCs in Burgundy, including those of Chablis and Beaujolais.
[11] While an impressive number, it does not include the several hundred named vineyards (lieux-dits) at the Village and Premier Cru level which may be displayed on the label, since at the Village and Premier Cru level, there is only one set of appellation rules per village.
The total number of vineyard-differentiated AOCs that may be displayed is well in excess of 500.

Summary: Protein of unknown function (DUF354)
Pfam includes annotations and additional family information from a range of different sources. These sources can be accessed via the tabs below.
This is the Wikipedia entry entitled "Domain of unknown function". More...
Domain of unknown function Edit Wikipedia article
A domain of unknown function (DUF) is a protein domain that has no characterised function. These families have been collected together in the Pfam database using the prefix DUF followed by a number, with examples being DUF2992 and DUF1220. There are now over 3,000 DUF families within the Pfam database representing over 20% of known families.[1]
The DUF naming scheme was introduced by Chris Ponting, through the addition of DUF1 and DUF2 to the SMART database.[2] These two domains were found to be widely distributed in bacterial signaling proteins. Subsequently, the functions of these domains were identified and they have since been renamed as the GGDEF domain and EAL domain respectively.
Structural genomics programmes have attempted to understand the function of DUFs through structure determination. The structures of over 250 DUF families have been solved.[3] This work showed that about two thirds of DUF families had a structure similar to a previously solved one and therefore likely to be divergent members of existing protein superfamilies, whereas about one third possessed a novel protein fold.
Frequency and conservation
More than 20% of all protein domains were annotated as DUFs in 2013. About 2,700 DUFs are found in bacteria compared with just over 1,500 in eukaryotes. Over 800 DUFs are shared between bacteria and eukaryotes, and about 300 of these are also present in archaea. A total of 2,786 bacterial Pfam domains even occur in animals, including 320 DUFs.[4]
Role in biology
Many DUFs are highly conserved, indicating an important role in biology. However, many such DUFs are not essential, hence their biological role often remains unknown. For instance, DUF143 is present in most bacteria and eukaryotic genomes.[5] However, when it was deleted in Escherichia coli no obvious phenotype was detected. Later it was shown that the proteins that contain DUF143, are ribosomal silencing factors that block the assembly of the two ribosomal subunits.[5] While this function is not essential, it helps the cells to adapt to low nutrient conditions by shutting down protein biosynthesis. As a result, these proteins and the DUF only become relevant when the cells starve.[5] It is thus believed that many DUFs (or proteins of unknown function, PUFs) are only required under certain conditions.
Essential DUFs (eDUFs)
Goodacre et al. identified 238 DUFs in 355 essential proteins (in 16 model bacterial species), most of which represent single-domain proteins, clearly establishing the biological essentiality of DUFs. These DUFs are called "essential DUFs" or eDUFs.[4]

WASHINGTON — Changes to the U.S. Small Business Administration's Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contract Program will allow women to have greater access for contracting opportunities at the federal level, the U.S. Small Business Administration announced.
The changes primarily concern the National Defense Authorization Act of 2013, a new law that removes the anticipated award price of the contract thresholds for women-owned small businesses and economically disadvantaged women-owned businesses to allow them greater access to these contracting opportunities without limitations to the size of the contract.
Before the new law, the anticipated award price of the contract for women-owned and economically disadvantaged women-owned small businesses could not exceed $6.5 million for manufacturing contracts and $4 million for all other contracts.
The law also requires the SBA to conduct a study to identify and report industries underrepresented by women-owned small businesses. The SBA is working with the Office of Federal Procurement Policy under the President's Office of Management and Budget on the implementation, including changes to the Federal Acquisition Regulations.
Henderson County Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Jan. 24 at Pardee UNC Health Care.
The event will take place in the main lobby off the Justice Street entrance.
Networking, refreshments, and a tour of the facility will be included in the event.
For more information or to RSVP, contact the Chamber at 828-692-1413.

Protection: Against Oppression
There are many obstacles to ministry, and one of them is safety. The devil is often at work to bring accidents, disaster, or spiritual oppression on the minister and his family to keep him from being effective.
Please ask for God's divine protection to enable His ministers to be undistracted, and unhindered in proclaiming who He is.
Ps 41:2 The LORD will protect him and preserve his life; he will bless him in the land and not surrender him to the desire of his foes.
Lord, You have the name that is above all names. You are Lord forever and there is no one who can challenge Your authority and power. You rule for ever and ever, and there is no end to Your Kingdom.
I pray for
Han Chinese, Mandarin of Korea, South
and I ask that you would delivery them from the oppression of the enemy. Cause Your angels Lord to encamp around them and keep them from the evil one. I agree with Your Word Lord, that no weapon, scheme or plan formed against
Han Chinese, Mandarin of Korea, South
will prosper. Lord You have promised to protect and preserve their lives and to not surrender
Han Chinese, Mandarin of Korea, South
to the desire of their foes. In Jesus name I rebuke the spirits of darkness that are oppressing them today, and holding back the freedom that Christ has purchased through His blood. Surround them Lord with Your presence, and let their heart rejoice in Your nearness.

NYT Accuses Apple of Dodging Billions in Taxes, Apple Denies Claims

(Source: todaysiphone.com)
Through a few different methods, The New York Times says Apple has avoided paying millions of dollars in taxes in the U.S. and billions of dollars in taxes worldwide
The New York Times
recently released a report on how
Apple is evading billions of dollars in taxes
annually through a few different methods, but Apple claims it has been playing by the rules all along and pays an "enormous" amount of taxes.
According to
The New York Times
article, Apple has managed to dodge billions of dollars in taxes around the world. Last year, the tech giant paid $3.3 billion in taxes around the globe on its
2011 profits
of $34.2 billion at a tax rate of 9.8 percent. Approximately 70 percent, or $24 billion, of the total $34.2 billion in pretax profits was earned outside of the country while 30 percent was earned in the United States.
This may seem odd, considering the fact that Apple's headquarters are in Cupertino, California. However, Apple products like the iPhone, iPad and MacBook are not manufactured in the state of California.
Through a few different methods,
The New York Times
says Apple has avoided paying millions of dollars in taxes in California and 20 other U.S. states. It has dodged billions of dollars in
taxes worldwide
How does Apple manage to do this? By putting an office in Reno, which allows Apple to escape California's 8.84 percent tax rate for Nevada's 0 percent; selling digital content, which can be sold from low-tax countries anywhere around the world, and the "Double Irish With a Dutch Sandwich," which allows Apple to cut taxes by directing profits through low-cost Irish subsidiaries, the Netherlands and the Caribbean.
According to former Treasury Department economist Martin A. Sullivan, Apple's federal taxes in the U.S. would have been $2.4 billion higher last year without such methods.
Apple opened a subsidiary called Braeburn Capital in Reno, Nevada in 2006. The reason for this subsidiary is to manage and invest Apple's cash. Braeburn Capital is responsible for depositing profits into accounts and then investing in bonds or stocks. When these investments lead to profit, a certain amount of it is protected from California tax authorities because Nevada has a 0 percent tax rate. If Braeburn was in Cupertino, Apple would be taxed 8.84 percent.
Braeburn's Nevada address also helps Apple reduce its taxes in other states like Florida and New Mexico because these different areas can decrease what is owed when Apple's financial management takes place somewhere else.
While Braeburn's location helps Apple dodge hefty California taxes, those in the state of California are not too happy with Apple's move. For instance, California Legislature upped the state's research and development tax credit to help companies like Apple escape billions in state taxes. The state legislature did this in 1996, 1999 and 2000, allowing Apple to save $412 million since 1996.
Selling digital content is another way Apple can escape pricey taxes. Apple doesn't only sell physical products like MacBooks and iPhones, but also digital items like songs on iTunes. Royalties and digital products can help Apple easily shift profits to low-tax countries because they can be sold anywhere as opposed to physical products.
Apple has another subsidiary in Luxembourg called iTunes S.à.r.l., which takes care of digital sales in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. When apps or songs are downloaded in any of these locations, the sales are recorded in Luxembourg because the country said it would tax the payments collected by Apple at low rates.
The "Double Irish With a Dutch Sandwich" is another way Apple avoids high-priced taxes. Apple established two Irish subsidiaries called Apple Operations International and Apple Sales International. Apple created the first Irish subsidiary because the Irish government offered Apple tax breaks in return for jobs, and also because Apple was able to send royalties on patents developed on California over to Ireland. This meant that profits were taxed at the Irish rate (12.5 percent) instead of the California rate (35 percent).
The second Irish subsidiary let other profits go to tax-free companies in the Caribbean. In addition, Ireland's treaties with Europe allowed some of Apple's profits to move through the Netherlands tax-free. This has helped Apple keep its international taxes at a low 3.2 percent last year.
Earlier this month, it was discovered that
Apple made $9.5 billion in Britain last year, but only paid $15.8 million in taxes
. This figure came out so low because British tax code rules exempt companies based in Ireland from paying British taxes.
"Apple, like many other multinationals, is using perfectly legal methods to keep a significant portion of their profits out of the hands of the I.R.S.," said Martin Sullivan, former Treasury Department economist. "And when America's most profitable companies pay less, the general public has to pay more."
Apple responded to the
article, saying that it pays an "enormous" amount of taxes and also creates jobs in California and other areas in the U.S. as well as other countries.
"Over the past several years, we have created an incredible number of jobs in the United States," said Apple in its response. "The vast majority of our global work force remains in the U.S., with more than 47,000 full-time employees in all 50 states. By focusing on innovation, we've created entirely new products and industries, and more than 500,000 jobs for U.S. workers — from the people who create components for our products to the people who deliver them to our customers. Apple's international growth is creating jobs domestically since we oversee most of our operations from California. We manufacture parts in the U.S. and export them around the world, and U.S. developers create apps that we sell in over 100 countries. As a result, Apple has been among the top creators of American jobs in the past few years.
"Apple also pays an enormous amount of taxes which help our local, state and federal governments. In the first half of fiscal year 2012 our U.S. operations have generated almost $5 billion in federal and state income taxes, including income taxes withheld on employee stock gains, making us among the top payers of U.S. income tax."
This isn't the first time
targeted Apple in its reports. Back in January,
attacked Apple for the treatment of workers in Apple's suppliers' factories overseas. The report cited issues like long hours, lengthy overtime, and poor working/living conditions as problems occurring in factories like Foxconn, and
claimed Apple was doing nothing to change these issues.
Apple ended up voluntarily joining the Fair Labor Association (FLA), which offers random, rigorous inspections of company factories. The FLA ended up
finding overtime/pay/safety violations at Apple's Foxconn plants in China
, and it's working with Apple and the suppliers to fix it.

Artis postformed surfaces have a cast resin drip edge to seal the underside against moisture penetration from every day spills. General Specifications: Quality: Artis worksurfaces are made using the latest technologies and manufacturing techniques. Artis Surfaces offer a stylish yet durable solution for everyday living which is independently tested to BS/EN438. Artis surfaces are designed to withstand knocks, abrasions, chemicals, cigarette burns, steam, stains from juice, tea, wine or coffee. Artis select E1 grade high density particle board for strength and stability. Heat Resistant: Boiling water & cooking splashes should do no harm. However never place cooking utensils directly from the oven or hob on to the worktop surface as this may burn and blister your work surface. Always use suitable protection against direct contact with heat. Electric kettles and fryers should not be placed over worktop joints to avoid the risk of excessive heat. Scratching: It is recommended not slide crockery or utensils across the worktop as this will cause scratching. On a heavier textured worksurface this is less likely to cause a problem. A protective mat or cutting board should always be used to avoid marking the surface of the worktop. Due to the inherent nature of the product, gloss and lighter textured worksurfaces will require special attention Staining: Whilst the worktop surface will resist most household chemicals, including alcohol and cosmetics, certain items such as beetroot, concentrated fruit juices, dyes, chemicals and sanitary cleaners may stain. It is therefore always advisable to wipe off any spillage immediately. Cleaning: Artis worksurfaces are so easy to maintain. On a day to day basis, all you need to do is wipe them down with a moist cloth and your favourite mild detergent. For more stubborn marks such as fruit juice or coffee, leave the detergent to soak on the surface for a little while before rinsing thoroughly. Gloss and darker surfaces require buffing up to a shine after their normal wipe down to maintain their appealing looks. Moisture: Any excess water must be removed immediately from the worktop surface to avoid the possibility of moisture ingress into the core at joints and cut-outs. Bohemian Chrome, Black and Natural come with a PVC or laminate square edge. These products are more suseptible to moisture ingress at the top and bottom of the front edge. Although the adhesive is moisture resistance it is not waterproof so extra care must be taken with these products (see Sink Installation and Sealing). Spillages, excess and standing water can and will deteriorate edges if left for any period of time. Wipe up any pills immediately. Download Artis Care & Installation Guide

Hob & Sink cutouts: Granite sink / hob cut outs are barred front & back (fitting of steel support bars to give additional support to cutouts), Without steel supports bars, the length of a cut out is reduced considerably. Large cut outs need to be scored and cored on occasions. This leaves the corners of the cutout in place, ready for removal on-site by the installer. Granite is susceptible to 'blowing out'. This occurs when contact is made with the material whilst cutting or grinding. This is very common in large particled granite. ie. we fill and seal the affected areas with epoxy resin (colour may vary) to ensure the material is not left with any sharp edges or 'chips'.
A minimum of 120mm is required between two hob cutout, 100mm is required between hob and sink cutouts, 70mm is required between two sink cutouts and sink cutouts are placed 50mm from the worktop front edge.
Stainless Steel Sinks: Please specify the preferred undermounting of Stainless Steel Sinks. Silicone sealant may be rendered ineffective when plumbing the sink in, it is important that the sink is re-sealed by the plumber, or the 12 months guarantee will be invalid if the work is not carried out. If a waste disposal unit is fitted to an undermounted sink after installation, additional support will be required, otherwise your warranty may be invalidated.
Joints: Granite joints are finished with a small ariss to the top edge. Silicone sealant is applied to prevent water ingression.
Overhangs & Supports: Any overhang extending more than 300mm must be supported.
Handling: For installations you will need additional labour on worktops weighing above 150kg. Every additional 75kg requires an extra person to assist with lifting. Due to the weight of granite, please ensure that your units are level and securely fixed.Drainer Grooves: Drainer grooves and recessed drainers may be duller than the rest of the polished surface. Colour matching is not always possible as granite can vary dramatically throughout each scant.Points of Note: Hob flanges need to sit on aluminium thermal insulation tape around the cut-out to avoid conducting excess heat & causing cracks in the worktop.Regular use of your Care & Maintenance Kit should ensure that your worktop always looks good.If you want to return your product bought from HCSupplies you have until the seventh day after delivery of the item to let us know in writing that you would like to return your item for a refund.
