Two elements are fundamental in order to make substantial and rapid progress towards global food security: coherence and convergence among policies and programmes of countries, donors and other stakeholders when addressing the underlying causes of hunger and, the recognition of the human rights dimensions of food security.Support for the progressive realization of the right to food is as an effective way of achieving food governance and nutrition security at global, regional and national levels. The CFS's vision calls for a world free from hunger where countries implement the voluntary guidelines for the progressive realization of the right to adequate food in the context of national food security. FAO develops methodologies and analytical tools in collaboration with different stakeholders at global, regional and national levels, to help a variety of actors to foster their work towards the progressive realization of the right to adequate food.
FAO right to food work directly contributes to the increasing number of countries that have included the right to adequate food in their national constitutions, national laws, strategies, and in policies and programmes that aim to fulfil the right to adequate food for all.
The Right to Food The Right to Food Team supports government, Parliamentarians, Civil Society Organizations and other stakeholders with the implementation of the Right to Food Guidelines in their work. The Right to Food Team provides technical and capacity-building assistance in the areas of assessment, institutional analysis, policy dialogue and monitoring; all of which are relevant for the right to adequate food.
Committee on World Food Security The Committee on World Food Security (CFS) is the United Nations' forum for reviewing and following up on policies concerning world food security. It also examines issues which affect the world food situation. It was established as a result of the food crisis of the 1970s, upon recommendation from the 1974 World Food Conference.

Women of Troy Win Second-Straight NACWAA Championship
Aug. 28, 2004
FORT COLLINS, Colo. - The top-ranked USC women's volleyball team came back from a 2-1 game deficit to defeat fifth-ranked Minnesota, 3-2 (25-30, 32-30, 26-30, 30-28, 15-12) in the championship match of the NACWAA Volleyball Classic in Fort Collins, Colo. With the win, the Women of Troy become the first-ever team to repeat as tournament champions.
With the win, USC extends its NCAA-record win streak to 49 matches and starts the 2004 season at 2-0.
The Women of Troy had not been pushed to five games since defeating California 3-2 on the road on Oct. 18, 2003. It was the only five-game match USC played last season.
Junior opposite hitter Staci Venski and senior outside hitter Keao Burdine earned all-tournament honors, while teammate Bibiana Candelas was named tournament MVP. Candelas averaged a .423 attack percentage for the tournament, and added 3.12 kills and 0.88 blocks per game. Venski provided a steady 2.25 kills per game, including a career-high 12 kills in tonight's final. Burdine, who averaged 3.88 kills in the two matches, led with a match-high 21 kills against Minnesota.
USC managed to get past one of the nation's toughest opponents and best defensive efforts on Saturday night in front of a crowd of 3,986. Thanks to its outstanding passing game, Minnesota controlled most of the match, out-digging (92 digs to 81), out-hitting (96 kills to 78) and even out-blocking (11.0 blocks to 9.0) the Women of Troy. But the Trojans out-lasted the Gophers in the end.
The Women of Troy took advantage of Minnesota errors at critical times throughout the two-hour, 22-minute match. The Gophers finished with 30 attack errors, 10 service errors and four ball handling errors.
In the deciding game, the Trojans responded to each Minnesota point with two points of their own, which proved to be the deciding factor in the short 15-point set. It gave USC just enough cushion to withstand a late Minnesota three-point rally that brought the Gophers within one at 12-11. Venski then added two kills and Alicia Robinson added the match-winning kill to complete game five, 15-12.
Once again, Kimi Freeburg and Alli Dillon shared setting duties. Dillon had 36 assists and Freeburg contributed 32. Libero Debora Seilhamer surpassed last night's career best with 30 digs for the night. Five USC players finished with double figure kills and Burdine posted the year's first double-double with 13 digs.
The Women of Troy return home for the busiest week of the season. USC will host an alumni match on Wednesday, Sept. 1, then face British Columbia in an exhibition match on Friday, Sept. 3. On Saturday, Sept. 4, the Trojans host Georgia at the Lyon Center and finish the week at Pepperdine on Sunday, Sept. 5. The USC-Pepperdine match will be televised on College Sports Television (CSTV).

Bezant Resources (LON:BZT) has entered an option agreement to dispose of its stake in the Mankayan copper and gold project in the Philippines to Gold Fields Netherlands Services BV for up to US$70 million.
Investors cheered the news, sending shares in Bezant up 24 percent to 40 pence in early deals, giving it a market cap of £26 million.
The proceeds will allow Bezant to fund the ongoing work programme and further development of its Eureka copper and gold property in Argentina, which will now be its main focus.
Bezant also told investors that it will consider acquiring other "attractive" mineral projects with the sale proceeds, while the balance will be returned to shareholders.
Under the option agreement, Bezant will receive a non-refundable upfront payment of US$7 million.
Another US$63 million will be due if Gold Fields Netherlands decided to exercise the option to acquire the entire share capital of Bezant's subsidiary Asean, which holds its 40 percent stake in Mankayan. Asean also has an option to buy the remaining 60 percent in the project.
"We are very pleased to announce this transaction with Gold Fields... with respect to the potential disposal of our wholly owned subsidiary, Asean, at a time of considerable macroeconomic uncertainty and volatility," said executive chairman of Bezant Resources Gerry Nealon.
"The negotiation of this transaction with Gold Fields follows an extensive sale process conducted by the company with a number of interested parties and we believe represents the best means of delivering value to our shareholders in the relatively near term."
Gold Fields already holds an option over Lepanto's Far Southeast copper and gold project, which is located adjacent to Mankayan. Bezant noted that it would take "significant investment in infrastructure and capital expenditure" to bring each of the respective projects into production.
The transaction, which was unanimously recommended by the Bezant board, is now subject to shareholder approval.

I was excited when I learned a few months ago that Tom Bihn was updating their Absolute Strap. The winner of our "Shoulder Strap Comparo," the Absolute Strap has to date offered the best combination of comfort, grip, and quality of any shoulder strap on the market; I was curious to see how Bihn would advance its design.
As you can see from the photos below, the design changes are more evolutionary than revolutionary. Two of the most significant changes are in fact impossible to discern in these photos; but as you'll see in a few moments, there are actually several changes, some of which aren't mentioned on the Bihn website.

Spain's Carlos Moya beat defending champion Paradorn Srichaphan in a
rousing three-set final on Sunday.
The top seed won 6-4 3-6 7-6 (7-5) before 5,000 screaming fans at the packed Nungambakkam stadium to land his 15th career title.
"This is an exciting start to the new season. It was a final which none of us deserved to lose," said Moya.
"Luck was on my side this week. I was a match-point down in the second round, but survived it to make the final."
It was third time lucky for Moya after he had lost in the 1999 quarter-finals before being forced to withdraw the following year with injury.
Srichaphan lost for only the second time in 15 matches at the Indian Open.
The popular Thai reached the final in 2002 as a wild card and winning the title last year.
But his fate was sealed in the last two points of the two-hour match, which he hit out to give Moya a 7-5 win in the third set tie-breaker.
AAPT Championship, Adelaide
Dominik Hrbaty crushed French qualifier Michael Llodra in straight sets to win the Australian Hardcourt Championship.
Hrbaty cruised to his fourth ATP title in 53 minutes with a 6-4 6-0 victory over Llodra, who knocked out three seeds on his way to the final.
"I felt so great before the final that I was a little bit scared about how loose I was," Hrbaty said.
"I wasn't nervous at all. I had no tension and I was able to play so many great approaches, great returns."
Llodra's game completely fell apart in the second set with Hrbaty unstoppable.
"Everything I touched in the second set, every ball I hit went in," Hrbaty said.
"It is a great day for me. I'll remember it for a long, long time."
Llodra will play in this week's Sydney International while Hrbaty will contest the New Zealand Open in Auckland.

Great use of the shirt color in this one.
Kind of Iron Giantish.. well, at least how Shooter portrayed it
Very much getting a Portal feel from this one. Not exactly, but at first glance . . .
Okay, time to play some Portal again. Thanks Woot.
Sort of reminds me of Yoshimi, except the giant robots aren't pink.
I just need to say that this is freaking rad.
Why, yes, I would like a kickass science-fiction shirt with a strong female protagonist. Thank you, Woot.
The bridge in the distance reminds of the Golden Gate for some reason...Or the Brooklyn Bridge. Definitely seen that bridge somewhere!
Ah this is really nice looking. I like the textures and colors that this has.
Dramatic staging leads to memorable, potentially buyable scene
The entire thing reminds me of Ghost Trick:
I feel like I've already seen this shirt or something eerily similar before.
Write up reminds me of the narrator in Bastion. (Best game narration in the history of game narration, btw) I would kill to have that guys voice.
Based on the writeup she doesn't need a bigger gun.
ooooh, splendid.
I wouldn't call that design centered. I'd say that's more like rentered- right centered . Great shirt nonetheless!
I'm trying to figure out what this is supposed to be based on - if anything - but I just keep drawing a blank. It kind of reminds me of The Hunger Games though.
I think that if that gun she's brought is the elec-beam she'll be okay, because I'm totally seeing the Yellow Devil robot from Mega Man.
jadis4742 wrote:Why, yes, I would like a kickass science-fiction shirt with a strong female protagonist. Thank you, Woot.
That head could just as well be alien... aliens vs robots?
Reminds me of Black Rock Shooter The Game OP (search for that on YouTube if you haven't seen it).
Would be a great hoodie.
very cool!
Oh, god...it's not one of those things from War of the Worlds, is it?
g0dsgreen wrote:I feel like I've already seen this shirt or something eerily similar before.
Me, too - something that was either printed or submitted for a derby here. Something with a similar shape and colors, and a similar girder across the top. But as looking back to the beginning of 2009 didn't produce anything, either a) I'm remembering something that didn't print, b) I just plain didn't see it in the thumbnails, or c) I'm hallucinating. All valid possibilities.
And it wouldn't necessarily make this derivative, if there were something similar out there. The shape & colors are a natural outflow from the design concept, seems to me.
Since we are playing shirt association game (TM)... stylistically, it reminded me of this design (never printed anywhere ?) by Deadfrog:
The character and setting though, definitely gave me a Daisy Kutter vibe:
As I have saved the former image to my hard drive for reference, and own The Last Train, I can say that both elements are working in the shirts favor :P
I thought of Deadfrog's design as well. This is a really cool shirt in it's own right
I also guessed Michael Evans from the thumbnail, but I'm really liking Anna-Maria's more cartoon/comic book aesthetics in this particular design.
The way the light is textured gives a sense of dust and dirt in the air, and the red eye is a very cool focal point. Great design!
Either a pretty girl or a member of ZZ Top.
This is the story you don't hear about the War of the Worlds because the guys are too ashamed to say that it was she who slayed the first of those maniacal machines.
You've just sparked a potentially brilliant (or horrible) new franchise. Alien vs. Terminators.
reminds me of this:
Design placement looks a little off-center to me, rather than "centered". But it works wonderfully for this design.
This shirt reminds me of the Anime Kino's Journey.
Great looking interesting design.
Don't buy this, I'm waiting for weeks for my dark night shirt.
Two weeks ago it shipped and it is still days away. Woot screws me again. It seems every time I order from Woot I get the slowest shipping in the world. I'm stupid for even buying from them again

I'm sorry that you're unhappy with your free shipping. If you do a little searching/reading, you'll find that free shipping generally runs about 1-2 weeks for most everyone--and that's not even counting the holiday shipping delay or the random instances of "let's take a tour of the country on fedex trucks" (though those seem to be super-rare now, admittedly, so yay! there). In its FAQ, woot DOES promise you your item within 5-100 days with free shipping. I guess most people who choose the free shipping are just grateful that 1-2 weeks is much closer to 5 days than 100. I know I am.
If the widely- and freely-acknowledged super-slow "smart"post free shipping is not to your liking, I do encourage you to spend the $5 on overnight shipping. Otherwise... well, it's woot. Welcome to woot: where free shipping is slow.
Have you never had anything shipped via Smartpost before? Use a different shipping service if you don't want to wait. Dunno why you're blaming Woot for that.
Hi guys, artist speaking here. Thanks for the super nice comments!
To clear up speculations (though, it's sooo nice to read them haha) there is not too much thought behind this except that I love "strong female protagonists" and Science-Fiction - and the whole "girl fighting a giant robot" motive is probably an image that has appeared a hundred times in our pop culture ;-)
But I also definitely love the Yoshimi Song (even though I made the reference not super clear by making the robot green instead of pink).
Good work. I'm a big fan of well-used shadows.
Nice . . . in for one.

Bob Log III wears a helmet onstage, likes a girl on each knee and has fans dip their breasts in his booze. Andrea Black keeps her distance.
Frank Sinatra once said, "When you're a one-man band, nobody gets hurt." But Bob Log III prefers to wear a full-face helmet just in case.
"To be honest," says Log from his Tucson, Arizona, home, "the reason I first wore the helmet was, well, I panicked. My partner [in the band Doo Rag, in 1996] skipped out on me.
"I had to play alone to thousands of people at a Ween concert and the helmet was in my car. I just duct-taped the telephone receiver microphone in [the helmet]."
Three solo albums later, the helmet is still in place, complete with visor and an Evel Knievel-like one-piece spandex suit. Log also encourages a girl on each knee.
Factoring in the lap sitting, singing and playing, Log gets a good workout.
"For maximum sweat," he says.
Gimmicks aside, Log can belt out his version of the Mississippi delta blues at a fast pace.
His distorted interpretation of the devil's music is played as a one-man band: bass drum with right foot, cymbal and two drum machines, his left foot all the while playing a voracious slide guitar.
He plays the guitar with such raw intensity that his hand was branded a monkey paw - because no human could really play that fast.
His third album, Log Bomb, was released earlier this year on the renowned Fat Possum label, home of authentic delta bluesmen RL Burnside and T-Model Ford, as well as recent visitors the Black Keys.
Log learnt some of his trade from going on tour with Burnside and the original rockabilly one-man band, Hasil Adkins.
"What better education?" he says. "There was no 'Where's my towel? Where's my Evian?', it was just 'Where's my amp? Let's play!'"
Log grew up on the blues - well, what he calls "Australian blues". "I had a huge poster of a snotty-nosed Angus Young on my bedroom wall when I was 11," he says.
"It's funny. The first time I was in Australia, I thought I'd look for AC/DC, and you Australians said, 'Oh, Acca Dacca? They all live in Florida.'"
On this tour, Log plans to pay his respects to "the human saxophone", as he calls Bon Scott, with a visit to his grave at Fremantle Cemetery.
"Don't know what he's saying - I've been listening to them for 23 years - but I tell ya, I know what he's feeling," he says. "The blues is a feeling."
Log believes this feeling is exactly why he's so big in Japan, where he has toured many times.
"For me, the lyrics are not what it's about," he says. "I go out and play guitar and that's the universal thing, whether you're in Japan or Denmark or Norway."
Feeling is one thing, but schtick doesn't hurt.
"Everybody has to do something now," he says. "You can't just sit there and play."
His latest onstage concern, besides the suit and helmet, is performing Boob Scotch, the song named after his favourite drink. It involves a willing audience member, male or female, dipping a boob into Bob's scotch.
"America has the record - 64 boob dips out of 70 shows," he says. "Europe was less."
Yet, having witnessed the Meredith Gift, the annual naked romp through the forest at the Meredith Music Festival in Victoria two years ago, Log has plans for us.
"I wanna try and set the record in Australia," he says.
"You guys are crazy, man. It's not like I'm going to have to talk you into partying."
Log could well be the most popular one-man band in the world.
"No," he says. "That's [Canada's] Peaches.
I tell everyone I am offering to have a baby with her, and we'll take over the world."
He has a vacant knee if you need something to bounce on and he'll rustle you up a glass of scotch on the rocks ready for a breast dipping.
However, he pleads, "Just one per night, that's all a man needs ...
"Oh, and no big, fat, bald dudes!"

London's most frequently eligible bachelor gets some lessons in growing up from a maladroit 12-year-old boy in this third big-screen adaptation of a Nick Hornby novel, directed and co-written by siblings Chris and Paul Weitz of American Pie fame. About a Boy concerns the parallel coming-of-age stories of the thirtysomething Will (Hugh Grant), a layabout "serial nice guy" living a posh, carefree lifestyle off his deceased father's fortune; and the preteen Marcus (Nicholas Hoult), a bright but awkward youth who's tired of his mom Fiona's (Toni Collette) depressed, boyfriend-less state. Their paths collide when Will, deciding that single mothers are the easiest romantic conquests on the dating scene, fabricates a two-year-old son and joins a group called S.P.A.T. (Single Parents Alone Together). Marcus is wise to Will's scheme, however, and through some incessant pestering and blackmail, he contrives for Will to date Fiona. Though Will doesn't hit it off immediately with either Marcus or his mother, he gradually begins to open up to the people around him -- so much so that he attracts the attention of another attractive single mom (Rachel Weisz). A U.S./U.K. co-production of Robert DeNiro's Tribeca Films and Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner's Working Title (the company responsible for the Grant-related Four Weddings and a Funeral and Bridget Jones's Diary), About a Boy was co-written by What's Eating Gilbert Grape creator Peter Hedges. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

The 30-room Hotel Iso-Syöte is part of the Iso-Syöte ski resort on the southern border of Finnish Lapland, 150km from the Arctic Circle.
Its new Eagles View suite opened this month with contemporary glass roof and walls for maximum views of the snow-covered forests and valleys of the Syöte National Park (also useful if those often elusive Northern Lights should show).
A tree rises up through the centre of the split-level suite, its branches supporting the upper floor reached via a spiral staircase. There's a circular bed and Jacuzzi, both with 360 degree views of the surrounding hills. The bathroom has a sauna and the living room has a log fire, but if guests should require that certain extra element such as a reindeer skin placed in front of the fireplace (to take home as a gift) that too can be arranged.
Activities include snowmobiling and husky sledding, visiting a nearby reindeer farm where you can try herding, followed by a reindeer-drawn sleigh ride.
Four-nights from £1,320pp half-board with return flights from Heathrow via Helsinki to Rovaniemi, Kuusamo or Oulu, activities above and transfers, until April. For more information, visit mightyfinecompany.com

Quick Oil Change Question....
Hello folks. I just had a quick oil change question. What is the best oil I should be using in my 2001 Cadillac Deville w/ 4.6 Northstar V8? Also, what do yall think about adding SLICK 50? When I say best oil, I mean not only grade, but brand. Thanks a million!

Re: Quick Oil Change Question....
The grade of choice is printed on your oil filler cap; probably 5W-30 for your engine. The brand is up to you but look for the gold starburst symbol that says "For Gasoline Engines" on the container. Any conventional oil that meets "API SL" is what you want.
Synthetic not required.
Snake oil additives not recommended.
Re: Quick Oil Change Question....
Best oil? Oil wars have been started over that question. Just do a search and you'll see. Use what is recommended by the factory per your owners manual.
Slick 50 is slick marketing. Save your money.
Re: Quick Oil Change Question....Originally Posted by grahaco
Well, grahaco, you'll probably get about 2 bajillion replies with different information here, but my advice is to use the oil grade that is recommended in the manual, which is probably 10W-30. Slick-50 is useless stuff. They've been sued by the FTC several times for making false claims. There are no "magic" additives for your engine. Prolong, Duralube, Slick 50, Z-Max, you name it and it probably does absolutely nothing but separate you from your money. Save your cash for something useful like retirement or your kid's education or a worthy charity. Don't buy any additives. The people who make PTFE (Teflon), the stuff in Slick50, tell you on their web site that Teflon has no business in an engine. It won't really hurt anything, but it won't do any good at all either and is just a waste of money.
Synthetic oil is technically superior to conventional oils for several purposes, but you will probably never see the benefits. The engine was tested and proven with conventional oil. Synthetic is not required or recommended, but it won't hurt anything but your wallet. Do your engine a favor and use a good quality oil filter. Stay away from the Fram. Spend a couple extra dollars and get an AC-Delco, Purolator PureONE, Wix, Napa Gold, or Mobil1 oil filter. I've also heard that the Motorcraft filters are decent. As far as what brand of oil to use, look at the back of the bottle. In the "starburst" seal, it will tell you the ratings and certifications of the oil. The latest standard is SM, and your car probably requires SL or higher, so SM works just fine. Look for an oil with the "Energy Conserving" label in the starburst to save a few dollars on gas. I think you'll find that most any modern motor oil will work very well. Engines and engine oil aren't what they used to be. They're far, far better than ever before. There isn't really much difference anymore with the latest ratings and certifications. Pennzoil, Mobil, Valvoline and Havoline are supposed to have good quality 10W-30 conventional motor oils. Go with a synthetic if you want, but I think it's just a waste of money.
As far as when to change it next time, there is an oil life monitor that tells you where you are in the oil's lifetime. Reset it when you change your oil by pressing the INFO button until you see xx% OIL LIFE REMAINING and then hold down the INFO RESET button for about 10 seconds until it says 100% OIL LIFE REMAINING. Change the oil when it gets near 0% remaining and you'll save money, dump less toxic waste into the environment, and your engine will last you a long time. Nobody has ever shown that it's necessary to change oil at 3000 miles, and I think that's the old way of thinking. New technology in engines and oils makes that a thing of the past. The latest engines and oil ratings are good to 12,500 miles. You will probably find that the oil life monitor on your car gets you somewhere between 6000 and 7500 miles between oil changes. That's normal, it's perfectly safe, and there are thousands and thousands of Cadillacs on the road that have very high miles on them that have had their oil changed by following the oil life monitor. This is probably all way more than you expected to get back.

Re: Quick Oil Change Question....
Walmart's got a synthetic oil for pretty cheap now... I think it was like $2 a quart. Nobody knows where it comes from, but I have my thoughts...
Re: Quick Oil Change Question....
I run Mobil 1 in almost everything. A 5 quart jug at Wal-Mart for $20 is hard to beat. An outstanding oil for the price is Motorcraft Synthetic Blend (it's made by Conoco). I got UOA's comparing that and Mobil 1 and the results were nearly identical. A Caddy will not explode if you put Ford oil into it. The Mobil 1 filter is a pain to install on a N* because there is more than one set of threads cut into it and you've got to hit it just right for it to screw on. I don't bother with it anymore. Generally I buy AC's for our GM cars (and Motorcrafts for our Fords) but the NAPA Gold is a very good filter and if you want to get spendy, a K&N.
Way more info on oil than you'd ever want to know is on the forums at www.bobistheoilguy.com.

Funny, this "best oil" question gets asked here so regularely, we should have a sticky thread on this. Just few weeks back, there was a good one on the subject.
It would be even better to be able to bring up one of Rob's thread where he explained that there really aren't any benefits in using Synth. oil on a Northstar.
Dino Oil rules!
Re: Quick Oil Change Question....
A falling out between partners in the original Slick 50 company resulted in a law suit that revealed that Slick 50 was ground up scrap plastic in reclaimed crankcase drainings. Why not go to your local quick-lube, scoop some waste oil out of the storage tank, and put that in your Deville.
Re: Quick Oil Change Question....
IMHO, if you really need that fraction of a horsepower increase then synthetic may be worth it. But don't expect to save money in an engine prone to using oil. And if you don't get a least twice as much range between oil changes...forget it.

High Pitched Frequency Noise
I've taken my 2011 528i to the BMW dealer several times to try and find out what is causing a high pitched frequency noise that you can only hear from inside the car, but they can't figure it out. They thought it might be coming from the A/C system and replaced the blower motor and upper air distribution box, but the noise was still there. They recently replaced the computer that operates the audio system, but the noise was still there. When the noise does occur, it happens at any speed and goes away when I press the breaks and come to a stop. Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions on what it could be? Thanks.
We used to have a stone driveway and I reversed out a little two fast and ended up with a stone behind a brake rotor that made a high pitched squel when I drove at any speed.
is it possible that it is coming from the speakers from something like a bad ground? I had that on my last 3 series..increased w/ speed (engine speed) not mph
High Pitched Frequency Noise
The noise occurs at any speed and sometimes even at a stop. The noise stops when I use the brakes. The dealer thought it was something with the air vent system and replaced the upper air distribution box and blower motor.
The noise definitely seems to be electronic in nature.
yes..same thing..bad ground or fault in your audio
had the same exact issue, stevens creek bmw in san jose could not fix the issue, they tried to clean the ground but the noise is still there.
If it stops when you use the brakes and can happen even when stopped - it makes me think it's associated with the power brake booster which is classically a vacuum servo. So it might be a leak in that system or hose (assuming that the F10 booster runs on vacuum).
Good luck!
Thanks for your response. The noise primarily happens when the car is in motion. When I press the breaks or slow down and come to a stop it usually goes away. It's been to the dealer 10 times and they can't find the problem. They recently took out the computer that runs the audio system and put it in a new one, but the noise was still there. They've replaced parts of the A/C system, the noise is still there. I'll suggest the power break booster. thanks.
if so replacing alternator fixed the problem... let me know if it'll fix yours
I watched the video and that is the same exact noise I'm hearing. Which model do you have? How did the noise change after the alternator was replaced? Does the dealer know why it didn't completely eliminate it?
Thanks for your reply. I will suggest this to my dealer and keep my fingers crossed that this fixes it!
I am hearing the same noise. Does not change based on speed and is not present all the time. I have a 2011 528. Did your dealer fix the problem? If yes, what did they do? Replace alternator?
I experienced the exact same phenomenon in my '10 M5. It happened once and wouldn't go away until I realized the error of my ways - the high pitched sound came through my speakers and varied in tone with engine revs. Turns out my iPhone wasn't plugged in properly in my center console (USB all the way in, I think, but the audio connector wasn't). Once the IPhone was properly plugged in, the noise disappeared completely. Not sure if your issue is one and the same, but I'd check that iPhone plug - assuming such a thing also exists in the F10....
could there be any possibility of the intergrated sound system i.e the subwofer/amplifier that is emitting these noises...Just a thought
And you don't have your iPod/aux plugged in right?
Ha, I have this exact same noise in my car sometimes...seems to go away after a few minutes of driving. Thought I was crazy at first. I think this might actually have something to do with the fan. A few weeks ago I had parked the car in my garage and stepped out and heard the high pitched noise as I was walking away. I went back and listened closer and the noise was coming from under the hood...and the fan was still on. So maybe that's the culprit? The car was stopped so nothing like radio, engine, etc, was running. I think the fan was the only thing.
Did anyone ever find the exact cause of this? I have had this annoying sound since I bought my 2011 528i as well. Over the past few months, the sound has gotten worse. Leith BMW says they can't replicate(of course), but the videos are the exact same thing going on. This has to be an issue with 2011 it appears. I hope someone found something out. Look forward to replies!
I have an 2011 and I think I have the same high frequency noise. It's like a beeping of some sorts. I can't replicate it either but it comes and goes. Still looking for a solution too.
Ok, I had a similar issue with my E46 that drove me crazy for months before resolved it. It sounded like a a very faint whiny dental drill and I really thought it was electronic interference or something for sure. It didn't change with revs or anything just that high pitched noise. I finally tracked it down to a leaky air intake elbow. I highly doubt it's cracked from age already on an F10 like it would on a well flogged E46 but perhaps it's loose enough to make the noise but not enough to kick off an error code with the MAF sensor. Just something to consider.
Must be really annoying.:(

Gators Soar Past Osprey
Once again, it was no contest. Led by Marreese Speights 20 points and 12 rebounds, & Walter Hodge 14 points the 25th-ranked Gators overwhelmed North Florida 102-51 Tuesday night.
The two-time defending national champions extended their winning streak to 15 games and pushed their home winning streak to 24. Florida (5-0) was bigger, stronger, faster and more talented at nearly every position against the Ospreys (1-4), and it quickly showed.
The Gators jumped ahead 22-4, were up 50-20 late in the first half and made it 70-24 early in the second half. Last season's team - the one featuring first-round NBA draft picks Al Horford, Corey Brewer and Joakim Noah - beat North Florida 86-40 in Gainesville, and the Ospreys returned three starters from that squad.
 The Ospreys, in their third season at the Division I level, have never beaten another Division I team away from home.

please help me by describing what do you really mean by pronom en and pronom relatifs and its uses
I'll send this to SraJMcGin.
Without knowing what level of French you are studying (II, III, IV, V), I have no idea just how much information you need! So, I'll make it rather complete and you can select what you need. However, as you get to further grammar, you might want to save other sections of this.
First of all, a pronoun substitutes for a noun. There are many different kinds of pronouns, but usually 2 main categories: personal and impersonal.
Personal merely means that the following pronouns change according to the grammatical person they represent. There are 5 different kinds of French personal pronouns.
Subject: je, tu, il, elle, on, nous, vous, ils, elles
Direct Object: me, te, le,(l'), la(l'), nous, vous, les
Indirect Object: me, te, lui, nous, vous, leur
Reflexive: me, te, se, nous, vous, se
Stressed: moi, toi, lui, elle, soi, nous, vous, eux, elles
*In the imperative, me and te sometimes change to moi and toi. Plus don't forget that the "e" or "a" in me, te, le, la, etc. when followed by a vowel, is omitted and you'll see l'ai, etc. for example.
A French relative pronoun, like an English one, links a dependent or relative clause to a main clause. They may replace a subject, direct object, indirect object or preposition so study them one at a time.
French relative pronouns: que, qui, lequel, don't and où have no "one-to-one equivalents; depending on the context, they may be translated as: who, whom, that, which, whose, where or when. Although they are sometimes optional in English, they are required in French.
qui = replaces a subject or indirect object that is a person and translates as who, what, which, that, whom
que = replaces a direct object and translates as whom, what, which, that
lequel = replaces an indirect object that is a thing and translates as what, which, that
dont = is the object of "de" and indicates possession, translated as of which, from which, that whose
où = indicates a place or time and is translated as when, where, which, that
NOTE: ce que, ce qui, ce don't and qu oi are indefinite relative pronouns.
Indefinite relative pronouns:
ce qui = subject = what
ce que/qu' = direct object = what
ce don't = object of "de" = which, what
quoi = object of a preposition = which, what
(The fifth indefinite relative pronoun which is rare and complicated is "quiconque" so I'll not explain that here.)
The two most confused relative pronouns are "qui" and "que."
que (qu') replaces the direct object (person OR thing) in the dependent clause. example: J'ai acheté le livre. Mon professeur l'a écrit. = J'ai acheté le livre que mon prof a écrit. = I bought the book (that) my professor wrote. (I have NOT used a feminine direct object here because a past participle must agree with a preceding feminine direct object.)
qui replaces the subject (person or thing)( in the dependent clause.
example: Je cherche l'artiste. Il étudie à Paris. = Je cherche l'artiste qui étudie à Paris. = I'm looking for the artist (who is) studying in Paris.
qui also replaces an indirect object referring to a person after a preposition, including prepositions rquired after certain verbs or expressions.
example: Je vois une dame. Je travaille avec cette dame. = Je vois une dame avec qui je travaille. = I see a lady with whom I work./I see a woman I work with.
If the object of the preposition is a thing, you need lequel.
Exception with the preposition "de" in which case you need dont.
Now, aren't you glad y ou asked?
Sra (aka Mme)
i am very glad and thanks for helping me
thank you maam for sending this questions

WILKES-BARRE (AP) — The long-delayed trial of a man charged in the killings of two people whose bodies were found buried in his yard in northeastern Pennsylvania a decade ago is on hold again.
Hugo Selenski, 39, is awaiting trial in connection with the May 2002 deaths of Michael Kerkowski and his girlfriend, Tammy Fassett.
Their bodies were found buried at Selenski's Kingston Township home in May 2003.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
But at a court hearing Friday, a Luzerne County judge indicated that a new date for the trial would be determined by an unspecified grand jury investigation.
The previous trial was slated for Aug. 5.
Selenski was acquitted in the slayings of two other men whose remains were found, but is serving a 32- to 64-year sentence in a home invasion and robbery in the Poconos.
The delay means the trial may begin after the 10th anniversary of Selenski's dramatic escape from the Luzerne County Correctional Facility. In October 2003, he and another inmate broke out through a cell window, used a rope of tied bedsheets to descend seven stories and a mattress to get over razor wire on top of a fence. Selenski remained at large for three days.

Groundbreaking Asian-American Diabetes Study Funded by NIH
Study will inform physicians and policymakers on how to prevent and treat diabetes in different Asian ethnic groups
The Palo Alto Medical Foundation's (PAMF) Research Institute announced that it has received a $2.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to conduct a five-year study on diabetes and its risk factors among the six largest Asian ethnic groups in California – Asian Indians, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese.
"By the end of the study, we hope to gain a much better understanding of what puts certain Asian ethnic minorities at greater risk for diabetes, one of the most costly and prevalent chronic health conditions," said Dr. Latha Palaniappan, M.D., M.S., principal investigator for the study. "The study also holds substantial promise for clinicians and policymakers as we will offer information and recommendations on how to identify and target high-risk Asian populations for diabetes prevention, treatment and management."
Diabetes, a chronic disease characterized by high blood sugar levels, occurs at significantly higher rates among blacks and Hispanics than among whites – a documented health disparity. Asians, although they consist of more than 30 ethnic groups from more than 20 countries of origin, have always been grouped together in previous diabetes studies and reports. Therefore, the prevalence of diabetes and related risk factors, such as obesity, remains largely unknown in specific Asian ethnic groups.
"In some of our preliminary studies, we've seen that certain Asian ethnic groups, such as Asian Indians and Filipinos, are at much higher risk for diabetes than others," said Dr. Palaniappan. "These findings reinforce the need to study Asian subgroups separately instead of grouping these diverse populations together. We're also hoping the study will have an international impact because we're studying racial/ethnic differences in how our bodies metabolize insulin and glucose in a similar environment."
The Pan Asian Cohort Study (PACS), as the study will be called, will examine existing clinical records of more than 60,000 Asians in California for diabetes risk, the largest Asian-American cohort ever assembled for a study. The study will include examination of the medical records, minus any personal identifiers, of PAMF patients.

Because the subject matter of politics includes many diverse elements characteristic of human beings, the study of politics is equally diverse. Political science is divided into numerous sub-fields; these include comparative politics, international politics, statistics, methodology, political theory, public policy, and American politics.
The political science department at USC Upstate is particularly fortunate to have faculty who have specialized in many of these sub-fields. Faculty interests include Asian, Mid-eastern, and European politics; each of the sub-fields in American government is represented, as are both "traditional" (that is, political theory) and statistical approaches to the study of politics.

The Woodlanders (1887) was Thomas Hardy's own favorite among his stories, and no other book of his more fully represents the many sides of his genius. This portrait of five people in an English village who are tangled in a drama of passion, betrayal, poverty, and pride of place richly demonstrates all of Hardy's distinguishing qualities—his intimacy with rural England, his feeling for nature, his frankness about physical desire, and his gift for rendering, in the most specific way, the mystery at the heart of things.
This Everyman's Library edition is set from the text of the 1912 Wessex edition and includes Hardy's map of fictional Wessex.(Book Jacket Status: Not Jacketed)
Thomas Hardy, whose writing immortalized the Wessex countryside and dramatized his sense of the inevitable tragedy of life, was born at Upper Bockhampton, near Stinsford in Dorset in 1840, the eldest child of a prosperous stonemason. As a youth he… More about Thomas Hardy

In this section, IML checks out some sports that don't require you to be on an organized team. You'll learn what they're all about, why they're fun and good for you, and how to get involved. You'll even hear from kids who participate in and love these activities. So keep reading...you may just discover the sport that's perfect for you.

North Highline Unincorporated Area Council members gave a preliminary recommendation on Nov. 3 that North Highline annex to Burien.
Ten council members approved the recommendation with Doris Tevaseu opposed and Karen Veloria abstaining.
The recommendation came despite protests from some audience members, who asked council members to postpone a decision.
They said North Highline residents have not had enough time to study annexation or incorporation as a separate city.
I am voting for all four of the incumbents running for Seattle City Council. Here are a few reasons I support McIver, Conlin, and Drago who have rather strong opposition - Licata should sail into re-election.
McIver speaks for and helped push the City Council to take a more realistic look at low-income housing, police treatment of minorities and the necessity of a balanced budget which still closes some of the gaps in social services.
Seattle City Council and Mayoral candidates may disagree on many issues, but all agree that building a practical mass transit system and ensuring that the Alaskan Way Viaduct is either replaced or retrofitted are the most serious problems the city must focus on in the next four years.

The North Highline Unincorporated Area Council (NHUAC) will hold a community meeting Thursday, Sept. 15, to receive public comment on annexation .

On July 31, the West Seattle Farmers' Market may be the only place in town you can get a 'poopsicle,' toss a diaper, and help a needy child all in the same place.
Local charitable nonprofit group, Westside Baby, will hold its fifth annual Stuff the Baby Bus With Diapers fund-raising campaign at the market this year. The organization hopes to raise twice the amount of diapers brought in by last year's event, said Lisa Perry, resource coordinator.
"We are asking everyone we know to contribute a pack of diapers," said Perry.
City Councilmember Nick Licata says he is focusing his reelection campaign on public safety strategies to reduce crime on city streets by ramping up police visibility and increasing communications between law enforcement and citizens.
He also suggests that one way to alleviate pending traffic problems for West Seattle might be building the monorail from downtown to West Seattle, saving the Ballard route for another project, another time.
In roughly nine months, 25 new Seattle Police officers are to be trained and ready for duty and Licata said he would like to have more o

While most books written about Rails cater to programmers looking for information on data structures, Learning Rails targets web developers whose programming experience is tied directly to the Web.
Rather than begin with the inner layers of a Rails web application--the models and controllers--this unique book approaches Rails development from the outer layer: the application interface. You'll learn how to create something visible with Rails before reaching the more difficult database models and controller code. With Learning Rails, you can start from the foundations of web design you already know, and then move more deeply into Ruby, objects, and database structures. This book will help you:
Once you complete Learning Rails, you'll be comfortable working with the Rails web framework, and you'll be well on your way to becoming a Rails guru.

The animals on the cover of Learning Rails are tarpans (Equus ferus ferus). The tarpan was a wild horse that lived in Europe and Asia and died out in the 19th century. Smaller and stockier than a modern domestic horse, it was mouse-gray in color with a dark mane and a black stripe down its back. The breed was known to be intelligent, curious, and independent. The ancient tarpan ranged from southern France and Spain to central Russia. Its decline was caused by the growth of the European human population in the 17th and 18th centuries, which encroached on the tarpan's natural habitat. Tarpans were also hunted for their meat. The last wild tarpan died in the Ukraine in 1879, and the last pure tarpan died in a Russian zoo eight years later, at which point the species officially became extinct. However, you can still see a tarpan today, thanks to two German zoologists who succeeded in genetically recreating the breed in the 1930s. Heinz and Lutz Heck began a breeding program while working at a Munich zoo, believing that genes still present in the gene pool of an overall species could be used to recreate extinct breeds. They combined the genes of living horses who showed similar characteristics to the ancient tarpan, and bred the first modern tarpan at the zoo in 1933. This new form of tarpan, known as the Heck horse, is a phenotypic copy of the original wild breed, meaning that it resembles the ancient tarpan but is not exactly the same genetically. Today, there are about 50 tarpans in North America, all of which trace back to the original project in Munich. Most of them are owned by private breeders who are trying to increase the tarpan population. There are not many more than 100 tarpans in the world.

Engine running too cool...totally baffled!
Okay, I have searched the forums and found a couple of hints to my problem, and tried all the solutions, but for some reason, I still have no answer.
I have a SBC 383 stroker in a 84 pickup. New motor, just built it and it runs like a top! At first, I was running the old 2 row radiator on it with a brand new water pump. It ran a little warm...205 and that was in the winter, so it made me a little nervous about summer. (I live in Georgia.) So, I swapped a new 3 row radiator brand new, and that has not been a problem yet. Kept the engine nice and cool. Now, when I did this, I also decided that while the engine was drained, I'd go ahead and replace the thermostat. Put in a new Mr. Gasket 180 Therm. Sealed it up, and the engine never got above 110. After driving in town for 20 minutes, I can still put my hand on the heads, hoses...etc. I thought maybe I got a bad therm. just by chance, so I replaced it with another new one. Same problem. I check the gauge...it works...check the sending unit...works, and have mad certain that there is no air in the system, no leaks, and that there is water moving to and from the overflow tank. Plus, if it were really getting to 180, I couldn't hold my hand on the Cylinder head! Oh, one more thing, Mechanical fan, shroud, and a good fan clutch, so that has been checked also. Does Mr. Gasket just make Sh***y thermostats, or what? That is the only thing I can possibly think it might be. Anyway...This thing should run great if it's at 180, but at 110, it runs like an engine that is not fully warmed up. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks.

Welcome to APS Masonry
Our up to date stone yard, where computerised stone cutting and profiling equipment supplements traditional hand crafted stonemasonry skills, is geared to high volume production of quality-finished limestone. The technology lends itself particularly well to repetitive tasks, from the cutting of hundreds of cubic metres of limestone ashlar blocks for the shell of a new stately home, to the cutting and engraving of hundreds of commemorative paperweights – with everything in between, including cills, copings, finials, flooring and stairs.
The very same technology is also able to produce one-off pieces from clients' drawings or to scan an existing piece and produce an identical copy, to be skilfully hand finished by our apprentice trained banker masons. Such pieces could include anything from garden sculpture to a replacement corbel.

One of the great charms of the UK lies in the use throughout the ages of local stone as a construction material. Of all the regional variations, Cotswold stone is very highly regarded and specified in building construction today.
We have supplied our dry walling stone to a number of prestigious landscape projects nationally. Dry stone walls exude a distinct distinct character and create a traditional visual reference point. The art of stone walling remains as ever popular,

When writing a note, email, or letter to an English teacher, it's probably best not to use words like "gonna," "wanna," or "hafta."
I added to it to expand my point, i had an incomplete for my grade, I'm guessing that meant i could re-work it. If you wanna look at it that would be great. thanks.
Also, "I" as a personal pronoun is always capitalized.
That is all…

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
As you running the business jointly with your wife - generally that is considered as partnership and partnership tax return is required.
However - according to the Small Business and Work Opportunity Tax Act of 2007 - qualified joint ventures of married couples may be treated not as partnerships.
A qualified joint venture is a joint venture involving the conduct of a trade or business, if (1) the only members of the joint venture are a husband and wife, (2) both spouses materially participate in the trade or business, and (3) both spouses elect to have the provision apply.
In this case - you will simply report each share of income and expenses of two separate schedule C's
This generally does not increase the total tax on the return, but it does give each spouse credit for social security earnings on which retirement benefits are based.
You may not simply deduct the cost of equipment - it should be depreciated over the useful life of the equipment. You may however as a small business - deduct the full cost of equipment in the first year it was placed in service - so-called section 179 depreciation. However if you had losses in the first year - you may want not to use that deduction.
You will report on the schedule C - http://ftp.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040sc.pdf - starting inventory and ending inventory for the tax year - and only the cost of inventory that you sold or used would be deducted.
Business Use of Your Home will be reporetd on the line 30.
For additional information - see Publication 587 Business Use of Your Home - http://ftp.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p587.pdf
and these is the correct form -
Form 8829, Expenses for Business Use of Your Home - http://ftp.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8829.pdf Form 8829 Instructions - http://ftp.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i8829.pdf

I am still trying to figure out what is the right laser and/or treatments for me.
I have had acne for 2 decades and now want to get rid of the deep scars andwrinkles. I started about 4 months ago with 2 salicilic acid peel, spaced two weekes apart, then a vitalized peel followed by a photodynmaic treatment. To me, my skin got worse, there are now lines and scars where there weren't any before, my pores are huge now and my forhead is creased and looks like brittle parchment paper.
I am so freaked out I consulted with more skin specialists. One recommended taking a break and then doing Active FX. After all the horror stories on here, and my own experiences, I am hesitant. So I saw a specialist who invented the coolaser and he wants to do 2 cool lasers and then fillers and botox at the same time. It's called the mini facelift. To me, that seems a shocker. Then, another recommended the Obagi NUDerm, Fraxel every month and Sculptra every six weeks.
After much thinking, I decided to embark on the Obagi Nu-Derm and am now flaking and red, swollen - look like a shedding, boiling lobster. I have a party next weekend, so they advised me to stop three days before and the skin should be back to normal.
But what do I do next?
Active FX, Fraxel, Coolaser, or could the Obagi Blue Peel be an alternative, after I prep the skin more with the Obagi Nu-Derm. Or could I do a laser? Is my skin too taxed for a laser now? When could I do a laser? I am shifting to babying my skin tonite. I am so mad that I started this - I totally ruined the summer ahead of me - and I live in sunny CA - but I feel I have to do damage control now. And - I am running low on money. WOuld a Blue Peel and some Botox do the trick? I am just horrified and scared of the laser recovery.
Any thoughts? Direction?
Thanks so much for "listening"!

art of writing scripts for film, television, and video games
Screenwriting is the art and craft of writing for film, television or video games.
- [Screenwriting] is no more complicated than old French torture chambers, I think. It's about as simple as that.
- Writer/Director James L. Brooks in the documentary Dreams on Spec
- It seems to me it's the hardest thing 'cause you're starting from nothing and creating something. Everybody else is interpreting what you've written. Everybody else is an interpretive artist. Even the best of them. Stanley Kubrick was an interpretive artist. The best actors in the world are interpreting what's on the page, and they use it as a springboard to something else, but if it's not there, there's nothing to spring from. So the writer is the only person who's taking absolutely nothing, and 120 pages of it, and dirtying it up in such a way that it's gonna gross hundreds of millions of dollars and make a lot of people happy.
- Screenwriter Paul Guay in the documentary Dreams on Spec
- A rule says "You must do it this way". A principle says, "This works... and has through all remembered time." The difference is crucial. Your work needn't be modeled after the well-made play; rather it must be well made within the principles that shape our art. Anxious, inexperienced writers obey rules. Rebellious, unschooled writers break rules. Artists master the form.
- Robert McKee, Story: Style, Structure, Substance, and the Principles of Screenwriting (2010)
- Well, Jack Warner may have been celebrated for calling writers "Schmucks with Underwoods," but 20 years earlier Irving Thalberg … said, "The most important person in the motion picture process is the writer, and we must do everything in our power to prevent them from ever realizing it."
- Screenwriter Steven de Souza in the documentary Dreams on Spec
- This...is why screenwriting pays so well. They don't pay me to write. I'd write for free. They pay me NOT to punch people in the neck.
- Screenwriter John Rogers, discussing The Core

All the BMW SOS system will know is "cel", not which of the hurdreds of codes (and hundreds of issues) it might be.
Let us know what the dealer says...in particular YOU WANT THE ACTUAL CODE.
I wouldn't be happy, for sure...but I wouldnt be worried.
I have a 2011 x35i and started having the same problem as the OP (I think) around 4000 miles. I am now around 8 or 9000 and the problem has not gone away. I have brought it to the dealership twice, and both times they found "Fault 3227 for DMTL Line Disconnection" (copied that from service dep't paperwork). They claim after further investigation that each time, the fault was incorrect, meaning all related lines/grounds etc checked out fine, and that this appears to be a possible false positive.
The CEL has come on around 5 times in the last 2 months, seems to stay on for a few days at a time (unless the dealership clears the fault), and goes back off for a few days or couple weeks. The latest I heard is that PUMA told the techs they have made this complaint a top priority and would get back to the techs ASAP with a fix. However, it's been a couple months and no one has called, and the CEL periodically comes on as it's been doing.
As it stands, I am hoping to hear something soon. If I check with my own OBD-II while the CEL is on, it shows up as code P2400, and this is the only info I could find out about it:
"Evaporative Emission System Leak Detection Pump Control Circuit/Open"
Appreciate any useful advice offered!
