Well, let me jump into the breach and make a few suggestions. You won't need a limo to get to Albachiaraan elegant, comfortable, and relatively unknown Italian restaurant just one block north of City Hall, a real hideaway and a particular favorite of judges and petty politicians. The menu flaunts its Sicilian leanings with a generous and well-oiled seafood salad of shrimp, squid, and conch; or go with one of the excellent pastas, perhaps something sinfully rich and creamy like fettuccine Alfredo or spaghetti carbonara. Romantic in a different way but also easily walkable is the restaurant rather confusingly called City Hall. It's decorated with 19th-century photos of a Gangs of New York-era Gotham, and combines the best features of a steak house and a New England seafood spot. Imagine the excitement when your guests read the invitation: "Civil ceremony at City Hall, dinner afterward at City Hall." Nothing like a dozen raw oysters and a rare porterhouse to launch a honeymoon.
But maybe you don't want to blow $50 or more per person. There are plenty of cheaper places where you can have just as much fun. Quartino is an Italian wine bar with an inexpensive wine list and a pleasing range of unfussy panini, pizzas, salads, and pastas. The location on picturesque Peck Slip is similarly deliciousnorth of the hideous South Street Seaport complex, in an area where the landscape still looks (and smells) like a seaport from the era of clipper ships and brigantines. Due south of City Hall Park lie Ann, Fulton, and John streets, with their wealth of reasonable restaurants. Seh Ja Meh is a handsome Korean café good enough to compete with its pricier sisters on West 32nd Street. There's no sushi, but the barbecues and bi bim bap are especially tasty, the latter a vegetable-heavy rice salad served warm and tossed with a fried egg (pay $2 extra for a "dolsot," and it will arrive sizzling in a black stone crock).
I'd be remiss if I didn't suggest some really, really cheap places, too, though finding good ones with enough space to accommodate the entire wedding party was a challenge. My favorite would be Bennie's, a purveyor of Thai food located in a semi-subterranean space that's hopelessly overcrowded at lunch, but nearly empty in the late afternoon. The menu features sharply flavored noodles and the citrusy salads called yum, with plenty of vegetarian selections. I had resolved not to include Pakistan Tea House in my roundup due to its diminutive size and unprepossessing decor, but a couple of friends report that they recently threw a birthday party there late one night with resounding success (open 24 hours!). They were even allowed to uncork a bottle of wine, though remember you didn't hear it from me. If you find yourself in the mood for Chinese foodwhich just might be the world's best party fareremember that Chinatown is only a few blocks north of City Hall. X.O. Kitchen combines Hong Kong sophistication with a rustic setting, and the wooden bridge that separates the two dining rooms is an excellent photo op for the bride and groom (or bride and bride, or groom and groom).
Finally, in case you win the lottery just before you tie the knot, there is one extremely expensive restaurant that might be worth it in the area south of Chambers Street. Bayard's occupies a spectacular building on Hanover Square called India House, headquarters to a men's club of international traders founded a century ago, with the antique furniture and display cabinets to prove it. A giant wooden Buddha greets you at the door. The food is relentlessly French, with all sorts of luxury ingredients like foie gras and caviar, and the service is spectacular. A recent meal included roast duck in Armagnac sauce and a pureed spring garlic soup.
And, by the way, if you decide to celebrate your wedding at Bayard's, please ask me to be one of your witnesses.

Mercedes 300D Replacement Struts Information
Count on the fine construction of genuine Mercedes cars for extended life. Count on a classy Mercedes to deliver responsive handling with great pick-up. High-status sedans like the finely crafted Mercedes 300D are manufactured to be made use of gently and then regularly repaired and serviced. Would it make sense to budget a large payment on a beautiful luxury vehicle, only to be a skinflint with new aftermarket or OEM components? To preserve the high value and style you chose with your Mercedes 300D, it's critical to use only the highest-quality new OEM parts. The Mercedes in your carport was created using the best care and expertise; it should get new components with the same top level of value. MacPherson-type struts are the most frequent kind installed in car suspension systems, and combine a shock absorber and a spring in a single unit. Standard MacPherson type Mercedes 300D Struts turn side to side with the front axle, which differs from the Chapman style utilized with the back wheels. Mercedes 300D Struts unite the function of the damper and horizontal support; this removes the need for the upper suspension arm. Your car or truck has a place in your heart due to its great performance and terrific style, and to have it running in top condition you want the acme in quality parts and accessories. Superb engine power and performance come from first-rate parts and accessories. We're the place for everything you need to repair your vehicle. Buying a Mercedes was an easy decision, and maintaining it in showroom condition is also easy. When there are any questions about our aftermarket accessories, our customer service team members are available to you via e-mail or telephone - with our standard first-rate commitment to the customer!
They are available for the following Mercedes 300D years: 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1987, 93, 92, 91, 90, 87. This part is also sometimes called Mercedes 300D Shock. We stock struts parts for most Mercedes models including GL450, S430, S500, E500, CLS500, E320, 190E, CLS550, C240, SL500, C230, S550, 300E, C320, 500SL, E55 AMG, GL320, E350, 190D, E550, ML500, SL55 AMG, 300SL, GL550, 300TE, CLS55 AMG, CLK500, C300, E63 AMG, R350, CLK320, SLK280, 300TD, ML350, SL320, CLK350, 300CE, CL600, 260E and SL65 AMG.

Women as visible and invisible workers in fisheries: a case study of Northern England
Zhao, Minghua, Tyzack, Marilyn, Anderson, Rodney and Onoakpovike, Estera (2013) Women as visible and invisible workers in fisheries: a case study of Northern England. Marine Policy, 37:11. pp. 69-76. ISSN 0308-597X (doi:10.1016/j.marpol.2012.04.013)
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
This paper is based on an externally-funded research project on women's roles and contributions in fisheries conducted in Northern England in 2010. The research focuses on the key roles played by the women involved in fisheries in this region of the country, aiming to help promote the equality and participation of women in the industry by contributing to policy making with independent evidences. The paper analyses some of the major roles played by women and their contribution in four selected sectors: capture fishing, families and communities, trading, processing and management/administration. It identifies the main issues and barriers which prevent women from equal treatment and full participation in the industry and from a more effective involvement in policy making in the country. The paper also presents and analyses women's strong wish for change with suggestions for policy reform.

Divorcing couples have enough drama going on between them that they don't need to add "dividing up thier friends" to the list of things to work out.
Dear Miriam,
I've gone on three dates with a great girl who's smart, interesting, kind and pretty, but I don't necessarily feel the romantic chemistry. Should I call her and tell her this? Should I email her? I really want to do the right thing.
Signed, Not Feeling It
When is the right time in a relationship to change your Facebook status from "single" to "in a relationship?" How do you change your status back after a relationship ends without causing too many waves? This is always coming up in my group of friends and has led to a lot of awkward situations.
Signed, Relationship Status

Wijaya, Juliana (1991) The Use of satire through the main characters in Huxley's brave new world and Orwell's nineteen eighty-four. Bachelor thesis, Petra Christian University.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Aldous Huxley and George Orwell have similarities in using their main characters to satirize the tendencies and values in the contemporary societies that do not agree with them. John the Savage and Winston Smith are used to satirize the abuse of power using science and technology in the contemporary societies that causes the destruction of individuality which is the essence of human life. They are in love with the main female characters, Lenina Crowne and Julia, who commit the deviations of morality. Through them, the tendenccies such as free-sex, ignorance and the other ways of life of the modern people are portrayed. They are also used to uncover the hypocrisy and manipulations done by the tyrants. Above all, through all the main characters, the cruelties of totalitarian rulers, and the horrible totalitarian societies are revealed.

Khurshid for checks on airing scandalous CDs Chandigarh, May 5 On the issue of controversial CDs being shown on websites, the Minister today minced no words to say that the social media activities were affecting the general public; and it was to be seen whether some technology was in place to curb these. The Minister was quick to add the desirability of curbing such media activities too was to be seen. In Chandigarh for attending the golden jubilee celebrations of the Bar Council of Punjab and Haryana, Khurshid was responding to a query on the need for checking the projection of embarrassing CDs, involving politicians and others, on websites. Khurshid has all along been saying that the controversial CD allegedly featuring Congress MP Abhishek Manu Singhvi was his private affair. But this is, perhaps, the first time Khurshid has commented on websites showing such CDs. Talking to The Tribune, Khurshid said the need of the hour was to look at the systems prevailing in other countries and come out with some worldwide protocol on social media sites. The media and the social media too must be more considerate, he added. Khurshid said the problem was much beyond CDs and social websites; it involved the freedom of the media. He added that the Supreme Court was already looking into the issue of freedom of media and guidelines on legal reporting could very well be expected. We are awaiting the Supreme Court decision and hope to find a solution to the issues once the apex court comes out with its judgment, he asserted. Interacting with the media, Khurshid also made it clear that Anna Hazares assertion on hanging Singhvi, if found involved in the CD scandal, did not find much favour with him. Anna on Friday said Singhvi should be hanged if found "guilty" in connection with the controversial CD purportedly showing him in a compromising position with a woman. Khurshid said death penalty under Indian legal system could only be granted in rarest of rare cases, involving heinous crimes. On the issue of filling the vacancies of High Court judges, he said it was linked to availability of infrastructure. Award for Justice Kuldip Singh
Justice Kuldip Singh on Saturday became the first apex court judge to be presented with the lifetime achievement award by Vice-President M Hamid Ansari. Legal luminary HL Sibal and Haryana Advocate-General Hawa Singh Hooda too were presented with the lifetime achievement award.
Politicians taking credit for work done by judiciary Chandigarh, May 5 Justice Swatanter Kumar of the Supreme Court said some of the credit being taken by politicians was actually authored by lawyers and judges. Justice Kumar was in Chandigarh, along with Vice-President of India M Hamid Ansari and other dignitaries, for attending the golden jubilee celebrations of the Bar Council of Punjab and Haryana. Punjab and Haryana High Court judges also attended the celebrations at the PGIs Bhargava Auditorium. Sikkim High Court Chief Justice Permod Kohli too attended the function. The Tribune Trust President-cum-former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court Justice SS Sodhi was also present at the occasion. Also present was Additional Solicitor-General of India Mohan Jain.

Just two of Anderson County's five schools that are subject to state testing met the required No Child Left Behind goals for 2010, and the district as a whole also failed to meet its goals.
NCLB goals are set by the state in an effort for all students to score proficient or higher on state assessments by the year 2014. In order to get to 100 percent by 2014, schools are required to reach a percentage, which increases each year.
Emma B. Ward and Robert B. Turner elementary schools met all of their NCLB goals, according to data released Thursday.
When all of Donnie and Sandy Peggs' cows didn't show up for feeding time Sept. 8, they knew something was amiss.
What they didn't know at that moment but are convinced of now is that 17 of their cows were stolen — in broad daylight.
"It's just a very strange situation," Sandy Peggs said by phone Monday afternoon. "My husband noticed all the cows not showing up. He looked around that night, but couldn't find them."
A Dana Drive man was killed last Wednesday in a three-vehicle accident at the intersection of US 127 Bypass and Highway 62.
Ralph G. Coy, 65, died from injuries he received in the accident, according to a news release from the Anderson County Coroner's Office.
Kentucky State Police are investigating the accident, but as of Monday had not released any specific details about how it occurred.
The public spoke Wednesday night, and the Anderson County Board of Education listened.
The board voted unanimously to leave the property tax rate where it is, and where it has been for the past two years.
The property tax rate will remain at $5.52 per $1,000 of assessed value, meaning the school's portion of this year's tax bills will neither increase nor decrease.
Dozens of concerned citizens attended a public hearing on the tax rate Wednesday, and most of them implored the board not to raise taxes.
A Circuit Court judge on Monday rejected the last-minute pleas of one of Anderson County's largest property owners to halt the sale of his delinquent tax bills.
Brad Smith, owner of SmithCo Properties, which includes Eagle Lake Convention Center and a host of strip malls, sued the county attorney, judge-executive, sheriff and county clerk in an effort to stave off the sale of his 2009 back taxes, which totaled roughly $95,000, nearly $10,000 of which includes his home.
The Burgoo Festival rolls in to town this weekend bringing with it a Civil War re-enactment, disc golf tournament, and truck and tractor pull.
The festival, in its 17th year, seems to expand each year.
Last year saw the expansion of the Civil War re-enactment into Anderson County Community Park, where it will be located again this year.
Rusted and swayed beams beneath a bridge at the Anderson-Franklin county line have forced state Department of Transportation officials to close it indefinitely, county highway foreman Chip Chambers announced Monday afternoon.
The bridge, located on Lanes Mill Road, was downgraded following a state inspection earlier this year and restricted to vehicles weighing 3 tons or less, Chambers said.
Judge Donna Dutton heard the following cases during District Court proceedings August 19.
Stacey E. McCoy, pretrial conference, theft by unlawful taking (shoplifting), possession of controlled substance – jail gave Sept. 2 as court date.
Sidney Roberts, pretrial conference, fourth-degree assault domestic violence (minor injury) – bond decision, pretrial conference Sept. 22, motion/disposition/trial date Sept. 30.
Latasha N. Stevens, preliminary hearing, receiving stolen property (less than $10,000) – waive 20 days, preliminary hearing Sept. 2.
The friend of a Bardstown Road man accused of murdering a Mount Eden woman Sept. 3 claims the man admitted doing so the next day while trying to convince him to help get rid of her body.
"I [f-ed] up. I killed her. I sliced her from ear to ear and put her in a trash bag in the bathroom," is what Ronnie Hale of 4307 Bardstown Road claims in court documents was said by Gary M. Bancroft, 33, the day after Bancroft allegedly killed his girlfriend, Frances Renee Mobley, 33.
From the moment Gina Fultz got the call saying she had been selected as the new principal of Anderson County Middle School, her mind was focused on moving forward.
"Anyone who knows me would have expected me to scream or jump up and down," Fultz said. "I'm a very excitable person. But I was already thinking about what we needed to do next."
Fultz described those few moments on the phone with Lisa Petrey-Kirk, middle school teacher and chairperson of the school's site-based council, as "very happy."

Abstract: | Dental filling materials are crosslinked resins with high abrasion resistance. Inorganic micro and recently nanofillers are introduced to improve their properties. However, the shrinkage of the resin component during the polymerization reaction is still a critical limitation of dental composite resins. Stresses from shrinkage can cause clinical problems such as postoperative pain, fracture of the tooth, and opening of restoration margins that can result in microleakages and recurrent carries. Many factors have a direct effect on the polymerization shrinkage of composite resin: curing methods (chemical or light-curing), placement techniques (incremental or bulk), cavity configuration and size of the restoration. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of modified resin using reactive polymeric nanoparticles on the physical properties of filling materials such as flexural modulus, flexural stress and polymerization shrinkage of different composites. |

Next I took the buttons and joystick I ordered and started laying out and marking the new piece of sheet metal. This is where I added more buttons. I had added a few more not knowing what I'd need them for but I ended up using them. MAME can re-map keys for each game so if you want to move buttons around, it's a matter of re-mapping in the software for each game. Usually the defaults are good enough.
The original buttons were leaf switch type buttons. My new buttons were micro switch buttons. The micro switch buttons are easier to work with but require a little more clearance.

I also hard wired a push button switch to the 6 next to the coin slots so I don't need a quarter.
For my joystick, I did not order a mounting plate because it wasn't needed. I marked and cut the square hole in the wood. The joystick will be below the sheet metal and recessed in the plywood. The stick will come out of a 1 inch hole, same as the buttons.
It's now ready for wiring. The PC is not in the cabinet yet and neither is the monitor. I'll get the control panel wiring done first then wire up the KeyWiz.

Small and medium size companies are rapidly replacing their aging traditional analog PBX phone systems with integrated IP-based one. These systems utilize existing ethernet wiring systems, or even wireless networks, to provide full-featured PBX type integrated telephone and communications systems that surpass in capability nearly everything previously available for a much lower price. Cisco has jumped into this market with both feet.
Cisco Small Business Communications System gateways integrate trunking, VOIP/Data/Fax/Video communications, PBX type desktop telephone systems, and IVR voice prompting and voicemail systems. They are designed to provide a complete IP-based PBX type phone system for offices and small companies. In addition to phone line management and call handling, each UC520 includes Call Manager Express and Unity Express to provide a complete telephone system solution. In addition to the UC520 gateway, add your choice of Cisco ESW switches, specifically designed for integration with your UC520 gateway, and any of the many CP series Cisco phones offered by Cisco with their variety of features.
Designed for small businesses from 8 to 64 desktops, The UC500/UC520 systems combined with Cisco CP VOIP phones provide exceptional value in a feature-rich setting. UC520 routers support a variety of trunk types to support connections to the external world, from ordinary phone lines to digital/ISDN to PRI type connections. Individual models vary in terms of the number and types of trunks (Ordinary phone lines to T1s to PRIs) and number of users. In addition to this router, a complete IP Phone Network bundle would include a choice of Cisco VOIP phones from the CP-7910, 7940, 7960 and 7970 lines, as well as one or more ESW (or other) switches.

A friend of mine (who is a German translator) has been studying Arabic, but the book they've been using in the class is absolutely horrible (I forgot the name of it). He asked me if I know of any good sites to learn Arabic, and I had no idea, so he had the bright idea of posting the question here.
So if you're reading this blog, and you know of good sites to learn Arabic, where there are word lists and good exercises, then let me know! He really wants to find some good resources, but they're very hard to find.

Arizonans still confused over booster seat law
Operators at Triple-A of Arizona are staying busy fielding calls about the state's new booster seat law.
"Since the provision went into effect, Triple-A received calls on a daily basis from parents and caregivers about the new provision," said Michelle Donati, spokeswoman for Triple-A of Arizona.
Donati said, partly based on the volume of calls, they've compiled a list on their website of frequently asked questions. She said the information is easy to read and understand, compared to reading the state statute.
The new provision, enacted on Aug. 2, requires children younger than 8-years-old or less than 4-foot-9 to sit in a child-safety seat, such as a booster seat, when riding in a vehicle.
Violators are subject to a $50 penalty under the latest requirements, but the fine can be avoided if the person later equips the vehicle with a restraint system.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, proper use of a safety seat can reduce a child's fatality risk up to 71 percent.

Product description
Mackenzie Allen Phillips's youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation, and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later, in this midst of his great sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change his life forever.

analyzerlx 5pts The only vehicles I've seen that were generally bad as early as the showroom is anything GM made. I recently bought a used car from a Chevy dealership and I was looking at the trim of a Silverado. I opened the back door and the scuff plate at the bottom was shaky, as if tacked on very badly to the truck frame itself. This wasn't the first time I noticed the problem, actually went to a function that Motor Trend hosted in Las Vegas last year and noticed the same thing. I rented a new Malibu and when I put in a stroller into the trunk a piece of trim popped off right where it latched! I honestly think the overall car is made ok, but this trim issue is not a good sign. I owned a 2003 Cavalier and the transmission and engine were great, everything else though seemed to be disposable. Trunk latch broke before 60,000 miles and so did the manual window mechanism in the driver's side in the rear. I can understand the brakes and tires, but all the extraneous items??? Hopefully they get better!
ne1butu 5pts I think what IBx1 is saying is that it is reasonable to expect a vehicle with less than 30,000 miles to be problem free. It has been my experience that most cars have few problems after 30k miles (cupholders, trim, small rattles, etc) and bigger problems after 75,000 miles.
bbrinley 5pts Finally a Kia worth owning.Do I see the lower (quality from times ago) brands climbing? Hyundai,Kia, hope to God Suzuki.It's nice to see different brands increase quality, reliability, design and give us all great choices in the current market. Darn I just bought a used 07 Trailblazer. Crossing my fingers. Hope you good people have some insite on this vehicle.
blakegalloway 5pts Don't worry about IBx1, he has a habit of posting random statements that may or may not be true. He says he likes a car...but the shape of the lower grille ruins it for him.
pomonawrx 5pts IBx1,maybe the reason why they don't have a problem and you don't have a problem is because these cars are well made...??? just a possibility that these cars may actually be constructed to last beyond XX,000 miles... rather then making a general statement that most don't seem to agree with, give it some thought that this car may actually be well made... shocking, yes.
Veyron1001 5pts very ridiculous comment ibx1, are you the template for all human kind??? anyway, the borrego is a vehicle built for a segment that is rapidly disappearing.
btc909 5pts Really IBx1 my Saturn & Dodge won't have ANY problems before 65,000 miles, yet they did. Please explain this? You expert you.
thechief21 5pts lol. Disagree with IBx1. I had a Toyota Tacoma, and went through two engine computers replaced under warranty, and then the air conditioning condenser blew at 38k miles, 2k over warranty, when the vehicle was 16 months old - and Toyota refused to courtesy the repair sticking me with a $800 repair.And bought a brand new Nissan Altima that kept cracking windshields and had so many engine problems that they gave me a new one. Willingly, and without drama.
IBx1 5pts It has solid reliability because you haven't even put 30,000 miles on it. Our '09 Forester, bought in April, just hit 47,000 without a single problem. While that's a lot for a year and change of driving, no car will have problems until at least 65,000 miles. And even that number is only if you buy a Mitsu or some other irrelevant brand like that. Or something german.

7 Series - E65 / E66 (2002 - 2008)
Discussion pertaining to the flagship BMW here. |
Thread Tools | Display Modes |
i think its available since v. 40 but you need to specify it with winkfp or you'll get another software!
I posted a manufactures bulletin that covers what you're talking about. It's in my album. They know about it and will do everything to hide the true fix; trans replacement. I had the same problems and was turned away many times at the dealer when the service manager drove the car and said it was fine. Lucky for me a couple of times the service tech noted there was a problem and that was on my invoice. Trani failed 7 months ago and I opened a case with BMW of North America. They looked over the paperwork and paid for the new updated trani, all parts, and the software upgrade. I paid for the labor. $950.00US. Runs great now... |
Indeed, I suppose thats what I was getting at in my first post about this issue. The fact is these gearboxes are fundamentally faulty and should have been replaced. I understand the reasons why BMW would not want to do that £££££
However they were supplied by ZF and I would have thought BMW would have some recourse back to ZF i.e. its ZFs problem not BMW and they should pay for the fix. Ill read your bulletin.
Anyway as an update on my car I have done a few more miles now and whilst the issues I described are now significantly reduced as a result of the new guibo and oil/filter, the gearbox it still not 100%. Basically the same problems but on a much reduced scale. I suspect that it is due to the new guibo taking the strain. As that begins to wear out then the problems will get more pronounced again. Im at a crossroads now. I either spend even more money on new software and/or new torque converter OR I do nothing? The biggest factor is the value of these cars in the UK. Big V8 engines are not particularly sought after and as they get older and values drop its simply not worth spending £000 on fixing the problem. Its a shame as this is a fantastic car in so many ways. Ive only had it a few months and I love it. Its just a shame they fitted a bad gearbox
Just read the documents in your post. Thanks for putting those up. The last page which is the December 2007 update. That very accurately describes in section A (cars manufactured up to and including 02/2003) most of the issues I have experienced. The suggestion by BMW is that its Guibo (which I have changed) and EGS software. I may try the software update after all. Im pretty computer savvy but I think doing this myself may be a bridge too far. Ill look into getting an independent in the UK to do it for me.
No prob. I would start at the dealer also and see if they would do the update for a reasonable cost. I replaced my Guibo also and that's not the problem. I truly believe its internal.Good luck.
Add me to the gearbox list... heres what i've tried..
My 2002 118k 745i has been banging into gear when pulling away if I haven't come to a complete stop, hunting between gears and often fighting with me when I try to pull up quickly, not wanting to come out of gear...
My local generic garage said they recognised the symptoms as the owner had suffered the same with his X5 and that it was definitely software related so they proceeded to upgrade the software. They tested it an said all was OK. Indeed when i drove it 30 miles home it was like a new car, perfect again ...until the next day when it was back to normal ! I'm wondering if the management system is somehow losing settings , getting corrupted or , as someone else suggested, the fluid may need replacing and is causing the transmission to play up. It does seem frustrating..anyway, next stop , fluid change ( although BMW advised my garage that they never do this and it was not heard of) apparently. £250 for the fluid from BMW. then , whilst there, will get the software re-done just in case and will post an update once done.... |
My gearbox is playing up too, its a second hand box I had put in my car when the original box failed on the day I bought it (My luck...).
I updated the software myself, and it did help a bit, but didn't cure the problem entirely. Before the update my car would always "lurch" into 1st if you were coming to a stop, and if you slowed down and then set off again it would slam back into second gear (it would rev up to about 1500rpm before suddenly re-engaging 2nd gear). Since the update, it only "lurches" when coming to a sudden stop, and it doesn't always fail with second gear at lower speed. It helped, but has definatley not fixed the problem. Also the revs flutter sometimes (but been told by a autobox specialist - all they do is autoboxes and they are no stranger to the 6HP26 - that it is NOT my torque converter, as it doesnt do it all the time, whereas with the TC being purely mechanical the fault would either be there, or not be there, and my car does it hot or cold). I have spoken to another box specialist that rebuilt the gearbox for a member of the uk 7 forum (bmwland) and he advised that the issue probably isn't the TC for the same reasons. The member who had his box rebuilt was very happy with the result and says his car has never driven better (and i think he has owned it for a few years now). In the next month or so I intend to have mine rebuilt by the same guy. This is from my conversation with the mechanic: "Common failure on this particular gearbox range is excessive wear to the rear stator bush which dramatically reduces apply pressure to the E clutch which transmits the drive in 4/5/6th. Gearbox out and strip, rebushing several areas. Replace damaged E clutch pack, reseal known (various) clutch packs and strip and clean out Mechatronics unit. Renew damper pistons in Mechatronic unit and replace sump/filter assembly. Flush oil cooler system and new Lifeguard 6 oil to refill. Job costs £1195 inc vat" He also said that he would recommend reconditioning the Torque Converter while everything is out due to the age of the box (95k miles), as its only £200 more and to replace it in the future when it does finally need replacing would cost more in labor. I'll let people know how it goes once I get it done, but for now I'm just living with it, though I really do look forward to a "like new" box xD |
I haven't gone down the software route yet.
I had the guibo (rubber bracket behind the gearbox) changed and had the gearbox oil and sump+filter changed. I bought the sump and oil online. You should buy the real ZF manufactured kit. Its was about £250 + fitting by an Independent who also supplied and fitted the guibo. Strange that ZF should now make a kit for this so called lifetime gearbox oil and BMW are still denying all knowledge of it ever needing replacing. Unbelievable. Anyway the outcome is that it has made a huge difference. Its still not 100% perfect but it is a great deal better than I would have expected. If I had to guess I would say it is 80% guibo. Simon
Hello i have been trying to find pics and info on how to remove panels and rugs properly in order to get to modules under passenger foot well also info on modules that i might need to replace or dry and try to save..,my e65 starts and drives but im getting all lights in the dash on and some time transmission fault [stuck on 2 or 3 gear] i pull over shut off the car and restart and transmission shifts fine again.this recur sometimes doesn't happen at all,got it scanned and came up with these module codes
282C 27EC 27ED "no communication"with these modules... i do have the infamous water build up on passenger foot well. seems to be coming from behind the dash under the rug (pass side)....possible sun roof drain clogged? idk might need help with dyi on unclogging the sf drains too lol So if anyone in here that has dealt with similar situation and provide info I would appreciate it very much thank you |
Get someone to reset the transmission adaptation values as well using INPA. I did this and drove the car in manual mode for whole day and now as a result the downshift to first is smooth. Also there is a mechanical sleeve mentioned on the forum somewhere which may be leaking.
This is an update to the severe transmission bang occurring in the 2006 750i usually around 90,000 - 100,000 miles. I bought my 2006 750i with 87,000 and after a few months I noticed a bang like someone rear ended me. Well I purchased a guibo joint for the 2006 and finally had the time to put the car on the lift for a week.
My son is a gifted mechanic and he can fix anything. He pulled the exhaust and dropped the transmission and there was the guibo joint, he couldn't believe the wear and tear on it. He replaced the guibo as well as the 2 coolant leaks that usually occur in this vehicle. The first coolant leak was at the base of the engine which he could get to when he dropped the tranny. This wasn't leaking but eventually it will so he replaced it since it was accessible. The second coolant leak is the infamous valley pan gasket leak at the o ring on the front part of the tube that the o ring wears. Since he had the tranny dropped, he was able to pull the long tube out from the back and put a new one in from the rear, he said that the tube was made to be installed from the front but he didn't go that route. He used some special silicone to keep the o rings in place. Last night, he put everything back in place and no more banging when going from second to first gear and I haven't smelled any coolant so I'm sure that is fixed as well. This job requires a lift and you need 2 people to pull the exhaust. He estimated the time to be about 30 hours and parts where about $400.00. I'm glad he is a great mechanic.

Tyson, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, VA, and accepted by the Editorial Board June 14, 2010 (received for review January 31, 2010) A key circuit in the response of cells to damage is the p53Łmdm2 feedback loop. This circuit shows sustained, noisy oscillations in individual human cells following DNA breaks. Here, we apply an engineering approach known as systems identification to quantify the in vivo interactions in the circuit on the basis of accurate meas- urements of its power spectrum.

Note 1: We highly recommend that new members arrive relatively early in the night (ideally by 8pm) After 8pm most members start arriving, so it will be easier to introduce you to the group if you arrive by this time.
Note 2: There is free entry to this venue before 10pm (the meetup starts at 7pm). After 10pm they often charge around £10 for entry.
Join us for Friday After-Work-Drinks at a great new venue for our group - the Pigalle Club in Piccadilly Circus. The Pigalle bar and nightclub has recently re-opened under new management after a long-term closure.
The Pigalle has an extended happy hour starting from our arrival until 9.30pm (during which there are some great offers on drinks eg. bottles of lager/beer for £2.50 and similar half-price offers on spirits etc).
The Pigalle is very conveniently located - almost directly next to the main 'Piccadilly' road exit at Piccadilly Tube Station (Take Exit 3 marked South-Side Piccadilly out of the tube station). Also, the music here is not too loud as can be the case with many bars/clubs in central London.
We've reserved a very spacious area just for our group with three open booths at the back of the venue. There's also a large dancefloor for those who want to party until 3am. The club has free entry before 10pm.
We've chosen this new venue as we were specifically invited by the general manager. They are very keen to accommodate our group, so a friendly welcome is assured for everyone.
Pigalle is open until 3am and they play commercial/chart music.
In the meantime, if you have any queries then please do not hesitate to contact us by email or mobile phone [masked]).
A very friendly group for a first time meet for me. Lovely people, diverse and welcoming.

I always imagined the Pigalle to be a big night club inside, but it was a little different from how I imagined it. Still it was nice, though very drafty.

January 18, 2013

Toldlady, and Annamarie,
As you have seen, we are one large, diverse, and kinda dysfunctional family around here.
And now, you're part of it (whether you like it or not).
Just because Lyndon finished his race, doesn't mean that we wouldn't be happy to have you stay with us. Stay with us here on the board, or if you ever come to town, mi casa es su casa.
When I travel, I stay in hotels because I choose to, not out of need. We have people everywhere, and are always interested in seeing those friends we haven't met yet.
Few people start out in this niche, 'adventure riding'. Almost all of us come from different riding backgrounds. Mine was offroad racing, then road racing, then touring, then into this 'what's down that path' mode. So we are, for the most part, experienced riders, tend to be professionals in our fields, and folks that will do anything for a friend we haven't met yet, because...it's in our nature to do so.
Many diverse backgrounds here. I was a soldier for 27 years, now retired, living in Canada. We have plumbers and surgeons, lawyers and factory workers, and even let in engineers.
All this to say: You are welcome here, and it is hoped that we will hear from you again in the future. You are fambly (you can decide for yourself if you want to admit that or not).
I guess your get up and go needs a coffee. - Drif5

Desktops and Notebooks: Apple's Mac OS X 'Lion' Prepares for Windows, webOS Competition
Apple CEO Steve Jobs took the stage at San Francisco's Moscone Center June 6 to kick off his company's annual Worldwide Developers Conference. As expected, Jobs and a host of other Apple executives profiled the company's upcoming operating system offerings, including iOS 5 and Mac OS X "Lion." The latter is a major update to Apple's long-running Mac OS X franchise, with a variety of new features designed to take advantage of the burgeoning interest in applications. To that end, Lion offers full-screen applications, tethered to features like "Resume" that restores an application to the same condition prior to logging out or restarting. Individual windows within applications can be blown up to full screen, and swiping the track pad will allow users to cycle to other windows. On top of that, Apple has tweaked the basic Mac OS X interface, seeking to evolve how users interact with the system. Those tweaks include the scroll bars, which now remain visible only when in use, and an increased range of gesture controls, including page and image zoom and full-screen swiping. On the productivity side of the equation, Lion includes Auto Save, an AirDrop feature that wirelessly shoots files to other users, and a FileVault for keeping information secure with XTS-AES 128 data encryptionfor both internal and external drives. In the coming year, Apple will face renewed competition from not only Microsoft, which is gearing up the next version of Windows for release in (probably) late 2012, but also Hewlett-Packard, which plans to load its webOS onto tablets, desktops and laptops.

A great guide to Little Rock has to include all of the wonderful history of the city, but there is so much more to explore! In Little Rock, it's only natural to get outdoors and bask in the beauty of clear skies, open spaces, and incredible landscapes. Little Rock is a sustainable city, offering fantastic opportunities for ecotourism and community preservation. On top of this, things to do in Little Rock, like cultural hot spots, art venues, and exciting attractions, make the city one of the most diverse places for entertainment and fun.
It's easy to spend the day at a public park, hiking a nature trail, riding on a riverboat or streetcar, and submerged in a submarine, and still have more things to do in Little Rock the next day. Little Rock is a fantastic place to visit for reasonably priced attractions, gorgeous scenery, and warm hospitality.
Locals and visitors alike spend mornings at farmers markets, like the one in downtown Little Rock. The River Market's two outdoor pavilions overlook Riverfront Park and the Arkansas River, and offer spectacular chances to pick up fresh local produce and flowers.
The River Market District is a vibrant hub in Little Rock where entertainment, shopping, art, and dining abound. An entertainment center where a 7,500-square-foot amphitheater, a bazaar, and live music concerts mix with specialty food merchants and cafes to create an atmosphere that caters to everyone.
The Arkansas Art Center is a museum and a center for the performing arts, and features a theater, classes, films, as well as restaurants and gift boutiques.
The best Little Rock guide will showcase Arkansas' nature in all its glory. Some amazing outdoor spots to take in include Fourche Creek, a watershed with six streams stretching the length of Little Rock, and the Downtown Sculpture Garden at the River Market.
Little Rock is a diverse, culturally rich city with activities for all interests.

In the global arms race known as bitcoin mining, there's success, and then there's an excess of success.
That's what a company called CEX.io discovered yesterday when it abruptly stopped accepting new machines into its consortium of bitcoin miners. The consortium — known in bitcoin circles as a pool — was running such a large portion of the worldwide computer network that oversees bitcoin, people were beginning to worry that CEX could corner the market and gain control of the digital currency. The whole idea behind bitcoin is that isn't controlled by any one central authority.
Now that the CEX has pulled back on the throttle, the bitcoin world can rest a little easier.
Anyone can help drive the bitcoin network by contributing the processing power of their own machine, known as a miner. And to encourage the practice, the system regularly doles out new bitcoins to these miners. It's a bit of a crap shoot — 25 bitcoins get paid out to one lucky miner about six times an hour. But you can make money in a more predictable fashion if you sign up with a pool of miners like the one operated by CEX and split the profits.
The trouble is that if any one of these pools takes over 51 percent of the network, it can — in some ways — take command of the digital currency. It could, say, spend the same bitcoin twice, something known as the double-spend attack. That, in turn, would undermine confidence in the cryptocurrency, destroying its value.
That's why, early Thursday, the popular internet discussion forum Reddit started filling up with posts from bitcoiners urging miners to drop out of CEX's mining pool, which is called Ghash.io. CEX quickly issued a statement, acknowledging that it controlled more than 40 percent of the network and that if it gained much more power, people would be right to be worried.
Bitcoin miners track all transactions involving the digital currency, but they also compete for new bitcoins by trying to complete billions of random calculations. That's the part that works a bit like a lottery. The more calculations, called hashes, you can do, the better your chances of winning.
But even CEX agrees that these pools shouldn't get too big. "Although the increase of hash-power in the pool is considered to be a good thing, reaching 51 percent of all hashing power is a serious threat to the bitcoin community," the company said in its statement. "GHash.io will take all the necessary precautions to prevent reaching 51 percent of all hashing power."
Gavin Andresen, the lead developer of the bitcoin software that runs across the world's miners, says that he'd like to see bitcoin mining become less centralized, but that he doesn't see the GHash.io issue as a cause for concern. The bitcoin community has previously defused the problem with both the DeepBit and BTC Guild mining pools.
"I tend to ignore mining because the incentives are correct," he says. "Big miners and mining pools would be stupid to do things that undermine confidence in bitcoin and make their investment worth less. I predict history will repeat itself, and the current panic over GHash.IO will self-correct over the next few weeks."
That already appears to be happening, according to Greg Schvey the head of research with The Genesis Block, a company that studies the bitcoin market.
Andresen says that bitcoin mining could become less centralized if more miners used software called P2Pool which is designed to avoid the 51 percent problem entirely. "I expect when P2Pool is made easier to install and run," he says, "that will happen."

Spitballin' (or Super Pass It To Bulis: All In, if you love adventurous acronymizing) is a feature that allows us to touch on a multitude of things really fast, because in the world of hockey, there are always lots of things to find and colour. Here are a few quick topics.

He joins Joe Sakic, Adam Oates, and Mats Sundin as the class of 2012, which makes me desperately hope that Bure's portion of the ceremony comes before Sundin's so that no one can say that Sundin was the first Canuck inducted into the HHOF on a technicality.

Fitbit updates Android app with wireless syncing over Bluetooth 4.0
@ 2013/02/13Fitbit promised wireless syncing and, as of today, it's finally delivered. An Android-only app update, currently live in Google Play, will now allow Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II users to transfer data wirelessly from their Zip or One Activity Trackers to the Fitbit application. The new feature, which works over Bluetooth 4.0, was previously announced at this past CES alongside news of the Flex band, and initially targeted for an end-of-January release. But that's not all this update heralds -- it also packs the ability to manage silent alarms, adds push notifications, a distance tile and additional tap-to-pair NFC functionality for use with the Flex. Unfortunately, you'll still have to wait a bit for that lifestyle band to launch, as Fitbit's only committed to a vague spring launch. For now, though, a small segment of existing users can enjoy this enhanced feature set.

text: A music mogul's tech audio makeover by Jon Fortt @FortuneMagazine October 14, 2009, 11:47 AM EDT E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Interscope Chairman Jimmy Iovine wants to get the iPod generation hooked on high-quality sound. Photo: Beats by Dr. Dre. The camera crew is setting up for our interview, and Jimmy Iovine wants me to listen to something on his iPod. The chairman of Universal Music Group's Interscope Geffen A&M Records is holding forth about how great his Beats Solo headphones sound; and as the overlord of a music empire that includes Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga, Eminem, and U2, he should know. He hands them to me and nudges the volume higher. The music thumps through, all rich bass and clear vocals. "These sound pretty amazing," I tell him, which is a bit like telling Frank Lloyd Wright he has decent taste in houses. Iovine takes this personally; he developed them alongside legendary hip-hop producer Dr. Dre. The headphones are just one part of an audiophile movement Iovine and Dre are trying to spark in the under-30 crowd, the core music-buying audience. The Internet and digital revolution have greatly increased music's availability — you can download it, stream it, and take it practically anywhere — but at the expense of quality. Says Iovine: "The sound has been degraded to such an extent that it's, at times, not even representative of what went on in the recording studio." He points out that the youngest music buyers, many of whom have never heard an LP, don't know what they're missing. He's right, of course. We compress digital files enough to shoot them across the Internet and squeeze them into iPods, then listen to them on cheap earbuds. By the time the sound meets our eardrums, the richness is gone; cymbals sound like plastic rattles, and bass like cardboard thunder. It's like taking a photograph shot with a Hasselblad and smooshing it down into a website thumbnail. The original art is recognizable, but barely. The Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, the first project from Beats Electronics, retail for $350. Photo: Beats by Dr. Dre. The way Iovine tells it, that inspired him and Dre to start Beats Electronics, a licensing company dedicated to making music sound better. They don't license technology, exactly; they license their discriminating ears. Dre first lent his talents to Monster Cable for the development of the stylish and critically acclaimed "Beats by Dr. Dre" noise-canceling headphones — those will set you back a hefty $350 ($260 if you bargain shop). The Beats Solo headphones I listened to, a slimmed down version without the noise-canceling, will begin selling in a few weeks for just over $200. But I've come down to Santa Monica to see a different Beats product: a laptop. Beats Electronics has linked up with Hewlett-Packard HPQ to offer the limited-edition Beats Envy 15, a sleek black number. It'll set you back $2,299 when it goes on sale next week, bundled with the headphones and audio-mixing gear. For the price, you get a laptop with a top-of-the-line Intel INTC processor, a specially tuned chip that handles sound, and other touches that enhance the music output. HP says its engineers worked for months to tweak the laptop to fit an exacting audio profile Dr. Dre provided. Before you start rolling your eyes at the thought of engineers taking orders from a rapper, remember that Dre is more than another pop artist; he's a perfectionist producer known in the industry for his exacting standards. Dre likes to use studio musicians instead of samples, and legend has it that he once made a rapper lay down a track more than 100 times to get it right. The Beats Envy is what brings me to this interview in one of the back rooms at Iovine's Thom Thom Club, an exclusive Santa Monica den where A-listers kick back after the Grammys. Normally there would be a large guy at the front door to keep people like me from getting into a place like this. The HP Envy 15 Beats limited edition has the look, and price, of a piece of high-end audio equipment; it will cost $2,299 bundled with high-end headphones and basic audio gear. Photo: HP For HP, the collaboration with Iovine and Dre exemplifies a new chapter in its marketing strategy. The old "Computer Is Personal Again" campaign highlighted how celebrities use PCs. In this next phase, HP is working with celebrity tastemakers to actually design new machines. The hope is that projects, like mini laptops designed with Vivienne Tam and Tord Boontje, will inspire discriminating consumers to pay a little more to make a statement. (The Beats Envy tests whether audiophiles will pay a lot more.) Will it work? The Beats Envy has a few things working against it. First there's the price: $2,299 is a lot to pay in a rough economy. Perhaps more important, though, is the subjectivity factor. With visual technology, judging quality is easier: We can tell the difference between a YouTube video and a high-definition movie playing on a 60-inch screen. It's harder for most consumers to judge the improvement in sound coming out of the Beats Envy. Iovine unintentionally illustrates that point when he has me listen to his iPod through the Beats Solo headphones. After I compliment him on the sound quality, I ask what kind of file he just played for me. "It's an MP3," he says — a decent-quality file at 256 kbps, but still an MP3. Therein lies the challenge: If he can impress this much with just the audiophile headphones hooked up to plain-old iPod circuitry, it might be hard to convince youngsters to shell out for an audiophile laptop to match.
