Edward Kennedy Ellington was born in Washington, D.C., to musical parents and started taking piano lessons at age 7. His early, dapper dress and mannerisms earned him the nickname "Duke," and his growing musical sophistication earned his band a regular spot at Harlem's Cotton Club.
But it was during the last 10 years of his life that he composed music that he called "the most important thing I've done" a series of three "Sacred Concerts," combining Christian liturgy with jazz and text by Ellington.
Brady Allred and the Salt Lake Choral Artists, along with Caleb Chapman's Crescent Super Band, played an arrangement by John Høybye and Peder Pedersen, culling 10 selections from the three "Concerts," and giving the choir extended harmony and depth on par with the accompanying band. The Saturday evening concert was performed with an infectious mix of well-honed technique and unbridled enthusiasm. The same concert was also presented as a Saturday matinee.
The performance at the University of Utah's Libby Gardner Concert Hall featured soprano Jennifer Madsen's impressive vocals, tap dancer Jon Scott adding his rhythmic feet to the swinging band and numerous solo turns by band members, especially during the work's "Freedom-suite" section.
Trent Reimschussel's soprano and alto sax solos were driven with melodic purpose. Tony Elison's turn at the ivories invoked the "Duke's" meticulous finger work. Jacob White's quick fingers and range reached dizzying heights on tenor sax. Nate Campbell's bone solos showed soulful mellowness while Tyler Webb's big personality showed through his trumpet playing during a burlesque-inspired section that had him playing dirty licks with a plunger mute.
The piece ended with Madsen's stylized scat-singing and the driving finale, "Praise God and Dance."
The combined concert and chamber choirs opened with the American premiere of German composer Wolfram Buchenberg's "Gloria." Buchenberg's affinity for the voice was apparent during the opening plain-chant section with baritone soloist Tyler Oliphant.
But then, in a departure from the 52-year-old composer's typical classical compositional style, the band kicked into a driving rock beat with the choir singing the nativity text, "Glory to God in the highest." The work showed the composer's signature, engaging harmonic depth.
The concert also included sets by the Women's Choir, directed by Jane Fjeldsted and the new Youth Honor Choir, directed by Allred. All sang Big Band-era tunes, mostly by Ellington, except the Honor Choir which performed an Ellington sacred arrangement of "The Lord's Prayer" and a spiritual.
The Young Choral Artists, led by Kiersten Honaker, Hillary Emmer and Nancy Hopkin, capably accompanied on the piano by Clifford W. King, sang a compelling pre-concert performance, showing clean diction, accurate pitch and joyful music making.
The Crescent band also performed without the choirs. This group of 14- to 18-year-old high school students brought down the house with their rendition of Louis Prima's "Sing, Sing, Sing," with the band standing at the end, horns swinging and reaching for the sky.
Allred seems to have a good sense, not only of what is musically tasteful and aesthetically pleasing, but also for what his audience wants to hear. This concert brought an energy to the stage that was not only well-rehearsed but fun.
We always knew the ensemble knew how to perform the "legit" literature, but who knew the choral artists could swing?

Don't seek sorrow for spurious comforts.All absorptions are effected in one.
One method will correct all wrong.At the beginning and at the end
There are two things to do.Be patient, whichever of the two occurs.
Observe two precepts even at the risk of life.Learn the three difficulties.
Take up the three parts of the principal cause.Meditate on the three things not to be destroyed.
Make the three inseparable from virtue.
An ancient story:
Jesus, son of Mary, once came upon an old man who lived on a mountain in the open air without any shelter from heat or cold. Jesus asked him why he had not built himself a house.
"Ah, spirit of God!" said the old man. "Prophets before thee predicted that I would live for only seven hundred years. It is not worth my trouble to settle down."
Life is a wandering, it is not a home. It is a search for the home, but it itself is not the home. It is an inquiry, an adventure. It is not necessarily that you will succeed - success is very rare, because the search is very complex and there are a thousand and one difficulties on the way.
But let this be your first understanding about today's sutras. They are of immense value. When you meditate and when you go deeper into them you will be surprised: these sutras are just like oceans contained in dewdrops.
Mohammed says, "I am like a rider who shelters under a tree, then goes on his way." Yes, this life is an overnight stay, a caravanserai. Don't settle in it. Use the opportunity to reach higher and higher and higher, because there is no end to heights, to depths. But remember always, don't take life for granted: it is only an opportunity, with immense potential and possibilities. But if you start thinking that you have already arrived because you are alive, you will miss the whole point.
Jesus says again and again, "The world is to be treated as a bridge, not as a stopping place." Use it as a bridge; it can bridge you to existence. And when life becomes a bridge to existence it is divine. But if you don't use it as a bridge towards existence it remains mundane, spurious, illusory, imaginary, fictitious.
The first sutra:
Don't seek sorrow for spurious comforts.

Editor's Note: In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year--so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around the Windy City. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know!
Behold! Bask in the glory that is the sloppy joe. I mean, just look at it. And yes, it's really called the Not-So-Sloppy Joe ($5.00, $0.75 for cheese), because rather than serve the sandwich on a Kaiser roll sliced lengthwise, the folks at Left Bank slice off the tip of the bun, puncture a hole into it, steam it, and then jam it full of sweet sloppy joe filling. The finely ground meat bathes in that familiar ultra-sweet, tangy, not-quite barbecue, not-quite ketchup sauce that you normally expect from a sloppy joe. The processed cheese is optional, but hey, why not? And you've got to have onions to add that sharp crunch to level out all that richness.
I suspect the Kaiser roll is the same one they use at Billy Goat Tavern (if not, it's damn close). It's chewy, and the best part about it is that it soaks up the red oil from the beef really well. That red sauce soaked part of the bread, in my opinion, is always the best part of any sloppy joe. And if you're there, you might as well have a chili cheese dog with mustard and onions, too. It uses the same sweet Coney Island-style sauce and processed cheese, but on a unique pale pink smoky hot dog. I have to admit, I'm a little biased; Lake Forest is my hometown, but hey, there's nothing wrong with a sloppy joe. And yes, of course, you'll be wearing this thing all over your face, shirt, and hands when you're finished, but, I mean, come on. What'd you expect? It's a sloppy joe!

Luce Foundation Center for American Art
Craft: Jewelry: Africa
Joyce Scott
(born Baltimore, MD 1948)
"I make jewelry to be worn. And if it tells about scary, icky subjects, then so much the better for the person who has the cojones to wear it in public." Artist quoted in "Scott + Scott," American Craft, December 1998/January 1999
Joyce Scott relates her work as an artist to her family's craft traditions and to her African American heritage. In her jewelry and sculpture, she employs humor and irony to address cultural stereotypes and issues of racism and sexism. Although Scott identifies African American, Native American, and West African Yoruba beadwork as primary influences, she emphasizes that her work refers to cultures around the globe, stating that "If we are going to work things out, we have to work together."

Ann Romney's Appeal to Women
More than ever, the women's vote is important in the 2012 Presidential Election. All of the attention around the politics of health care for women had made the Republican Party and the Romney campaign acutely aware that they must work to engage the female voting population and to convince them to vote Republican in November.
So on the first night for the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida, Ann Romney stepped up to make an extended appeal to women. Her speech touched on her relationship with her husband, her struggles raising five children, and her belief that America would flourish under her husband's direction. All of those appeals though rested on the idea that women – mothers and wives in particular – are the …

This is the watch that displays the time with two orbiting rings. Without an hour, minute, or second hand and devoid of a numerical dial, two concentric rings create an ever-changing pattern of contrasting gradient color as time progresses. Protected by a mineral crystal face and encircled by a bezel with marks for each hour, the outer ring displays the minute while the inner ring displays the hour - the leading edge of each advances in a clockwise motion to indicate the passage of time. Enclosed by a 316L stainless steel case, its precise Miyota quartz movement provides reliably suggestive timekeeping. Its 1"-wide stainless steel mesh strap secures with a single locking mesh clasp and fits wrists up to 8" in diameter. Black matte electroplated finish. 9:05 displayed. Case 2" L x 1 5/8" W x 1/4" D.

Just tried a default version of XBMC (8.1) and it works. So I'm now downloading the most recent SVN (mine was a week old) and we'll see if it works.

It doesn't. Then, I installed a fresh version of 8.1 : works. I overwrite the older files with those of the new build : no go.
So strange that videos won't play unless I use a much older stock version.

this is not a Horizons problem and you are very unlikely to get any help here, but before I move this thread we need to know alot more about your setup.
Platform, debug log while trying to play etc.
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

Councilman Gardiner suggested that Public Comments be
taken after the Consent Calendar.
Councilwoman Ferraro moved, seconded by Mayor pro tem
Stern, to approve the agenda as amended. Motion carried.
City Attorney Lynch explained that the City Council's
evaluation of City Manager Evans had been favorable and that a contract
had been agreed upon for the coming year beginning July 1.
In response to Councilman Stern's inquiry about putting
this contract on the agenda a few months prior to the date for notice
that the City does not wish to renew it, City Attorney Lynch responded
that would pose no problems because either party could state an intention
to end the contract before January 1. She felt it would be prudent to
place this item on the Council calendar in November in case this was a
possibility that the Council wanted to pursue the topic.

Carolyn Anthony, 30174 Avenida Tranquilla, expressed her
concerns about the golf course proposed for the landfill in Rolling Hills
Estates, particularly because it was so near Rancho Vista Elementary School
where children had to be protected from the potential toxic effects of
this golf course. She reported that bulldozers were already working on
a project on which an Environmental Assessment Report (EIR) had not been
prepared. She said that the developer stated that results of a neighborhood
survey indicated that a golf course was the first preference but that
the original survey obtained by one of the school parents showed that
golf was actually near the end of the preferences expressed by the community.
She objected to the quantity of fill; that there would be toxic dust blowing
across the homes and playfields; and, the lack of a clay cap on top of
the landfill. She reported that when she asked developers at a recent
meeting at Rancho Vista Elementary School to tell her where there was
a golf course surrounded closely by residences, schools, day care centers
and churches, they could not provide an answer.
Joan Davidson, 1525 Via Arco, Palos Verdes Estates, said
that she had been on the school board for eight years and that she was
opposed to the proposed golf course. She mentioned the danger of
the golf course being built on this landfill that was subject to slides
and sinkholes and has a fault running under it. She said that the
project seemed to be moving ahead at an alarming speed and he asked the
Council to contact State and Federal agencies to try to stop what she
felt was a toxic nightmare.
Long Point Resort Project (Conditional Use Permit No.
215, et. al.)
Mayor McTaggart opened the public hearing on this request
to consider certain aspects of the revised Long Point project. City
Clerk Purcell announced that notice had been duly published and that all
written comments were included in the agenda packet and more were distributed
prior to the meeting.
Senior Planner Ara Mihranian presented the staff report
of May 7, 2002 and the recommendation to (1) Consider a presentation of
the revised Long Point Resort Hotel project by the applicant. (2)
Consider certification of the project's Environmental Impact Report (EIR);
and, Establish a tentative processing schedule of the revised project.
Planning Commissioner Cote said that her primary residence
was within 650 feet of the project so she recused herself.
Mayor pro tem Stern asked staff about the money that Long
Point owed the City.
Senior Planner Mihranian said that there was $155,000
originally owed for the preparation of the EIR and city attorney fees.
He stated that a portion had been paid and that there was still $65,000
owing. He indicated that the processing of the project could not
begin until this money was paid.
Bob Lowe, founder and Chairman of Lowe Enterprises, parent
company of Destination Development, 11777 San Vicente Boulevard, Los Angeles,
CA 90049, described the history and mission statement of his company and
said that they were eager to move forward with the project.
Rob Lowe, also of Lowe Enterprises, explained that their
goal was to create and operate a resort hotel that fit within the Peninsula
lifestyle: that it would include trails, parks, protection of wildlife
habitat and ocean views, a spa and fitness center, tennis courts, and
restaurants. He said that a golf driving range and practice facility
was proposed to tie in with the nearby Ocean Trails golf course.
He cited financial benefits to the City and job opportunities which the
resort would provide.
Mayor pro tem Stern said that the economic projections
remained constant with the revised project from the original plan and
questioned if this was a valid assumption.
Rob Lowe said they believed the projections were still
valid; that their goal was to open the resort in 2005 and they had no
reason to think that the current recession would affect the economics
of the project.
Mike Mohler, Project Manager for Destination Development
Corporation, presented a PowerPoint presentation which described changes
incorporated into the new design which included the following: (1)
the tunnel under Palos Verdes Drive South had been deleted; (2) the roof
heights of the villas had been lowered so that they did not exceed street
grade on Palos Verdes Drive South which would protect the Catalina view
corridor; (3) there would be fewer golf holes since the nine-hole
golf course had been eliminated; (4) the square footage of the golf clubhouse
had been reduced; (5) one of the tennis courts had been deleted and replaced
by the maintenance facility and this would be out of sight along with
the cart barn; (6) a new parking structure would accommodate parking stalls
originally proposed under the hotel building, and would be visually screened
from Palos Verdes Drive South by using earth berms and landscaping.
Bob Lowe added that significant changes had been incorporated
into the new plan based on community input and he felt that the revised
project would fit well into the community and said that this hotel with individually
owned casitas and villas and an on-site golf academy with a practice facility
would provide recreation and entertainment facilities and financial benefits
for the City. He urged the Council to certify the EIR and prepare resolutions
with appropriate conditions for the Council's meeting on June 4, 2002.
Mayor McTaggart asked about the personal use of the casitas
by the individual owners compared with the units being leased out.
Bob Lowe explained that restrictions would prevent the
owner/investor from using the casita themselves for more than 30-60 days
and that for the remainder of the year the casitas would be managed by
the hotel for renting to guests. He explained that the casitas were
closer to the waterfront and would have more restrictions on owner use
than the villas.
Bob Lowe said that the villas closer to the highway were
larger and more appropriate for family use so the restriction allowed
owners to use their units for a longer period of 60-90 days per year.
Planning Commissioner Reed noted that there appeared to
be a typographical error in the report regarding the restricted use of
these units and Bob Lowe said that he thought she was correct.
Mayor pro tem Stern asked Mr. Lowe why he felt there was
no need to have further hearings with the Planning Commission and the
Finance Advisory Committee.
Bob Lowe said that he felt that over the past year there
had been sufficient meetings and that it was time to bring the matter
before the Council.
Mayor pro tem Stern asked if the lack of the use of City
land impacted the financial analysis.
Bob Lowe said that it did not.
Mayor Pro Tem Stern felt that even though the villas were
below grade of the highway, the roofs would be unattractive.
Bob Lowe said that the villas would not be limited to
a single grade but that they would meander and step down the slope so
that they would integrate attractively into landscaping.
Mayor Pro Tem Stern asked about the $65,000 owed to the
Mike Mohler stepped forward and said that he would take
care of it.
Finance Advisory Committee Member Steve Wolowicz said
that he understood there were 400 hotel rooms and 50 casitas with three
keys each.
Mike Mohler said that 360 of the rooms were in the hotel
structure itself and that there were 40 bungalows, for a total of 400
rooms, and that the bungalows would create a more intimate Mediterranean
village concept. He confirmed that there were three keys for each of the
50 casitas, for an additional 150 total rooms.
Councilwoman Ferraro asked for an evaluation of the resort
hotel marketplace in general and how this hotel would fit into the California
market and the competition it would face.
John Platt, Lowe Hospitality, said after the events of
September 11, 2001, no one knew how long the travel industry would be
affected but he said the recovery has been up and down but seems to be
steadily improving now and he felt that the hotel industry was healthy.
He said that this was a world-class site and compared it favorably to
the Hotel del Coronado. He said the positive aspects of the site were
that it was in a secluded community but yet close to Los Angeles International
Airport and he felt that the hotel would draw the same clientele that
would go to Pebble Beach or the Santa Barbara Biltmore, but this hotel
would have the advantage of being closer to Los Angeles. In addition,
he said that he anticipated that this site would attract international
Councilwoman Ferraro asked if Mr. Platt felt that projected
room rates and occupancy would be achievable and Mr. Platt said yes.
Councilman Gardiner said that he and Mayor McTaggart had
met with Bob Lowe and his staff along with the Mayor and he felt that
the plan had been adjusted to address the concerns of the Planning Commission.
Mike Mohler agreed.
Councilman Gardiner said that if this were the case, why
would the project go back to the Planning Commission for further review.
Mayor Pro Tem Stern said that maybe the Planning Commissioners
present this evening could answer that question.
Planning Commissioner Long felt that, aside from the public
land use issue, the Commission had made all the findings necessary for
the issuance of each permit. He wondered if the Finance Advisory Committee
might need to analyze the project again since the developers had said
all along that the project would not be viable without the use of public
Planning Commission Chair Cartwright said that he did
not feel the benefits of remanding the project to the Planning Commission
would outweigh the delay and extra work for all involved and he did not
feel that the Planning Commission had any other issues to discuss.
Mayor Pro Tem Stern asked if the Council could tinker
with the project and the Planning Commission could provide input if needed.
Chair Cartwright said that all the Planning Commission's
concerns had been addressed and he felt the project was ready for City
Council review.
Commissioner Long suggested that the Council review the
conditions of approval very carefully and if it was felt that the Planning
Commission could provide information, this could be requested.
Chair Cartwright agreed that if the Planning Commission
was involved, its scope should be limited.
Planning Commissioner Mueller said he agreed to a certain
point; however, since this is one of the most important projects to come
before the City, special care should be taken to make sure that certain
aspects, such as protection of view corridors and public coastal access,
were covered. He said that since the Planning Commission last looked at
the project, changes were made to the parking structure and the location
of the pool, which might affect some of these important aspects of the
Councilman Gardiner asked Commissioner Long's opinion
about whether he thought the Council could sort out these important details.
Commissioner Long thought the Council could sort out these
changes but if it was felt that Planning Commission assistance was appropriate,
the Council would make this request or even remand it to the Commission.
Planning Commission Lyon said that he had confidence in
the Planning Commission's approval of conditions to protect the community.
He said that since the City was not providing public land and therefore
not directly involved financially, he felt the developers knew how best
to plan the resort. Also, he pointed out that three councilmembers had
served on the Planning Commission and would be sensitive to the types
of findings the Commission had made.
Mayor McTaggart felt that the Planning Commission had
done a thorough job thus far and he noted that there had been many revisions
to the Ocean Trails project after the initial approval and there probably
would be with this project as well, but he would like to do whatever might
be possible to minimize revisions.
Mayor Pro Tem Stern said that even though public land
was not being used, the City had said it would consider some kind of assistance;
therefore, the City might be indirectly involved in the finances. He thought
it would be a good idea for the Finance Advisory Committee to be involved
in the analysis of the development agreement.
Councilman Gardiner did not see a need to send the project
back to the Finance Advisory Committee but he felt it would be worthwhile
to investigate the developer's books because of the impact of transient
occupancy tax collected. He was in favor of moving the project along.
Mayor McTaggart agreed that the Finance Advisory Committee
should be involved in fine tuning the development agreement and they can
begin that process if the Council certifies the EIR.
Finance Advisory Committee Member Smith said that the
Council asked the Committee to determine whether tax revenue estimates
were reliable and achievable. The developer had said that it was necessary
to have a golf course on public land in order to obtain financing and
denied access to their financial records so the Committee found that it
could not give the Council a firm answer regarding expected tax revenue.
He said that some financial information was eventually provided but the
Commission was in doubt about how eliminating the public land from the
project would affect revenue. He said that if he were on the City Council,
he would recommend that the project be sent back to the Finance Advisory
Mayor McTaggart speculated that revenue projections might
even be better without the nine-hole golf course.
Finance Advisory Committee Member Wallace recalled that
Mr. Mohler had stressed the importance of onsite amenities rather than
driving down the highway to play golf.
Mayor Pro Tem Stern said that is why he had asked if the
assumptions had changed when public land was no longer involved and why
he felt that the Finance Advisory Committee should be involved although
he did not wish to delay the progress of the project moving forward.
Commissioner Long said that there is expense involved
in complying with conditions of approval and this could be another factor
for the Finance Advisory Committee to consider even though the City did
not have a direct financial stake in the project.
Finance Advisory Committee Chair Wolowicz said that it
might be appropriate for the Committee to go over the entire plan once
more because of skepticism that the revenue projects would remain the
same even though the project had been changed. He mentioned other economic
factors to be considered which indirectly put the City in partnership
with the developer such as timing of financing and a potential negative
cash flow for the City, and insurance against landslides that the lender
might require. He said that the Committee could make itself available
to the Council also for questions about these financial aspects of the
Recess & Reconvene: At 10:49 P.M., Mayor McTaggart
declared a recess. The meeting reconvened at 11:00 P.M.
Ann Shaw, 30036 Via Borica, felt that the focus of most
of the Planning Commission hearings was on the land use question and she
felt the new plan should go back to the Planning Commission because it
was critical for the community that this development be positioned well
on the site. She suggested that the developer be required to provide a
3D model.
Mayor Pro Tem Stern asked if Ms. Shaw did not think that
the Council could make this determination.
Ms. Shaw said the Council could do this, but it had other
things to do.
Mayor Pro Tem Stern indicated that the Planning Commission's
thorough work had provided the Council with a head start.
Ms. Shaw stated that there were now a lot of changes to
resolutions which need a fresh review.
Barbara Sattler, 1904 Avenida Aprenda, San Pedro, CA 90732,
representing the Palos Verdes South Bay Sierra Club, said that it was
difficult to comment because the map was small and hard to read.
Jim Knight, 5 Cinnamon Lane, said that the land use issues
took so much time and this was the first opportunity to look at the project
without considering that issue. He did not believe that the Council should
certify the EIR because there were issues which had not been addressed
such as the relationship between Long Point and Ocean Trails. He said
that hopefully shuttles would be used but he saw no such requirement.
He wondered if a supplemental EIR was appropriate to focus on the sensitive
habitat along the coastal bluff, the El Segundo Blue butterfly, and the
marine habitat, and also a plan to indicate what types of chemicals would
be used on the golf course.
Bob Nelson, 6612 Channelview Court, representing Seabluff
Homeowners Association, said that the 60 homeowners in his association
had been surveyed and 57 were in favor. He reported that of the three
negative votes, all were absentee owners; and, one of the homeowners who
was listed as opposed, said that he would support the project if delivery
trucks were not routed through the Seabluff neighborhood, if there were
no new streets connecting the Seabluff neighborhood with the resort, and,
if all construction was performed within the regulations of the City.
William Tolliffe, 6347 Tarragon Road, felt the City had
entered a new phase in consideration of the project and that before permits
were granted, there must be assurances that the resort would comply with
the General Plan, zoning requirements, height limitations, and protection
of views. He said it was important to require attractive landscaping and
he felt that a tennis court would be unattractive if visible from the
highway. He also pointed out the importance of locating tees to prevent
golf balls from flying onto the highway or toward the neighbors. He also
felt that the developer should be required to provide financial background
to demonstrate viability.
Tina Brawner, 2210 24th Street, Santa Monica,
CA 90405, Board Member of GLACO/West Los Angeles Whalers Drive Club, said
that a model would be an improvement over the map and she was interested
in the location of parking for coastal access as she said it was difficult
to carry SCUBA gear and kayaks for long distances. She said that it would
be nice to retain a picnic area and that a hiking trail was welcomed,
but parking near the water would be appreciated.
Sonja Hayes, 64 Via Capri, felt that the project should
stay with the City Council and that if there were questions, the Planning
Commission and Finance Advisory Committee could be available for assistance.
She said that time had been lost and she wanted to see the City have a
great hotel.
Mayor Pro Tem Stern said that he did not see a substantial
benefit to sending the project back to the Planning Commission and he
asked about the procedure for obtaining input from the Commission. He
liked the idea of a model and felt that a better visual presentation of
the villas would allow the Council to better appreciate their impact.
He reiterated his interest in having the Finance Advisory Committee be
involved in analysis of the development agreement
City Attorney Lynch said that input from the Planning
Commission would require a notice and would be unwieldy unless more joint
meetings were scheduled.
Planning Commissioner Long suggested that staff could
provide each commissioner with a copy of the original conditions of approval,
and that the Commissioners could provide comments merely as a member of
the public. He said that the public perception might have been that most
of the time was spent on the land use issue, but he said that the Planning
Commission focused on conditions of approval.
Mayor Pro Tem Stern felt it would be appropriate for the
Commissioners to provide input as members of the public.
Mayor McTaggart said that the issues raised were important,
such as the issue of shuttles between Long Point and Ocean Trails. He
said that related issues would be requiring low emission vehicles and
handicap access to the trails.
Councilwoman Ferraro asked whether a supplemental EIR
or an addendum would be appropriate.
City Attorney Lynch said that if the Council kept jurisdiction,
there could be an addendum, a negative declaration, or a supplemental
EIR prepared after the EIR is certified to address potential environmental
impacts resulting from the project revisions.
Mayor McTaggart was concerned also about chemicals used
on the golf course and a requirement to avoid runoff from the golf course.
Councilman Gardiner said that he appreciated all the helpful
comments from the public and he hoped that the Council could certify the
EIR and keep the project moving forward while still addressing additional
City Attorney Lynch clarified that certifying the EIR
does not preclude further analysis but invites it.
Planning Commissioner Reed asked the proper procedure
for communicating ideas to the Council.
City Attorney Lynch suggested sending information through
the Planning Department staff.
Councilman Gardiner said that as long as issues raised
this evening were captured, he moved, seconded by Councilwoman Ferraro,
to (1) Certify the EIR. (2) ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2002-34, A RESOLUTION
HOTEL AND RELATED USES TO BE KNOWN AS THE LONG POINT RESORT; and, (3)
Continued the public hearing to June 18.
The motion carried on the following roll call vote:
AYES:Ferraro, Gardiner, Stern, and Mayor McTaggart
Consensus was to publicize the meeting and to put the
resolutions on the City website.
Members of the Planning Commission and the Finance Advisory Committee
left the meeting at 11:40 P.M., except for Finance Advisory Committee
Chair Stephen Wolowicz, who remained for discussion of the FAC 2002-2003
agenda calendar.
Proposed Fiscal Year 2002-2003 Agenda and Calendar for
the Finance Advisory Committee
Finance Director McLean presented the staff report
of May 7, 2002 and the recommendation to review the proposed Rancho Palos
Verdes Finance Advisory Committee proposed calendar and agenda of meetings
for Fiscal Year 2002-2003 and provide staff and the Finance Advisory Committee
with clarification and affirmation of the proposed agenda topics.
Mayor McTaggart asked if these meetings would be a violation
of the Brown Act.
City Attorney Lynch said they would not be if they were
Mayor pro tem Stern felt that Finance Advisory Committee
assistance in the search for funding would be helpful.
Steve Wolowicz, Chair of the Finance Advisory Committee
said that they could provide this service with projects which would currently
be under review.
Councilman Gardiner commended the Finance Advisory Committee
on its ambitious schedule.
Councilman Gardiner moved, seconded by Mayor pro tem Stern
to approve the proposed Rancho Palos Verdes Finance Advisory Committee
proposed calendar and agenda of meetings for Fiscal Year 2002-2003 and
to affirm the proposed agenda topics. Motion carried 4-0-1.

the position of chair for these three boards.
Council consensus was to continue appointments to the

Council consensus was to appoint all the applicants to
the Equestrian Committee since there were the same number of applicants
as there were members.

Border Issues Status Report
Director Rojas presented the staff report of May
7, 2002 and the recommendation to review the current status of border
issues, and provide direction to the City Council Committee and Staff.
Regarding the Harbor Hills project, Council consensus
was that a Planning Department staff member should attend the May 13 Lomita
Planning Commission meeting.
Dick Brunner, 1906 Peninsula Verde Drive, said that he
had received notice that the Los Angeles County Community Development
Commission had applied to the Lomita Planning Commission but he had not
seen the application and did not know if there had been changes to the
Mayor McTaggart said that previously they seemed to think
that they were exempt from local control but now they were before the
Lomita Planning Commission and he did not know what had changed there
attitude. Councilman Gardiner speculated that possibly this was because
of the interest of border cities.
Director Rojas said that Senior Planner Fox would be attending
and that he would be receiving a copy of the Lomita Planning Commission
staff report.
Mayor McTaggart asked that a link to this report could
be placed on the City's website.
Director Rojas said that the City had submitted a letter
in response to the Notice of Preparation and would await the EIR.
He indicated that the CEQA process would take a month or two to complete.
He said that Rolling Hills Estates had a prepared a similar letter.
Mayor McTaggart asked about input from the school board
and Director Rojas said that he had seen no input from them.
Director Rojas said that regarding the Garden Village
Shopping Center, City staff had been in contact with Los Angeles City
Staff and that they were awaiting the underground pipe inspection report
Request to Support Legislation Concerning Bonds For
Harbor And Port Security Improvement Measure
Mayor McTaggart presented the staff report of May 7, 2002
and the recommendation to consider Council support of AB1782 (Kehoe and
California Contract Cities Association
City Manager Evans presented the staff report of
May 7, 2002 and the recommendation to: Determine whether to (1)
fund Commission and Committee member attendance at the Annual California
Contract Cities Conference in Palm Springs from May 30 to June 2, 2002;
and, (2) fund a City dinner on Friday, May 31st.
He discussed benefits of these groups attending this event
and said that in lieu of their attendance, a staff member could take careful
notes. He felt that the groups which would benefit most from attendance
would be the Emergency Preparedness Task Force and the Planning Commission.
Councilman Gardiner asked if the sessions were video taped.
City Manager Evans said that some are audio taped but
not video taped.
Assistant City Manager Petru reported that none of the
Planning Commissioners would be available to attend.
Mayor McTaggart was under the impression that at least
one of them would be able to attend.
City Manager Evans suggested that the Council could authorize
attendance and staff would work with committee chairs to determine who
could attend.
Mayor pro tem Stern felt it would be beneficial to audio
tape all the sessions and since RPV was the host city, maybe an investigation
could be made into the ease of hooking into their microphone system to
accomplish this.
City Manager Evans stated that he would see if the Recreation
and Parks Department could arrange this.
Councilman Gardiner said if there were PowerPoint presentations,
maybe hard copies could be obtained.
Mayor McTaggart felt sure there would be handouts, which
could be shared as well.
City Manager Evans reported that although Richard, Watson
& Gershon had made a generous contribution toward a dinner, additional
City funds may be needed.
Mayor pro tem Stern moved, seconded by Councilwoman Ferraro
to approve up to $10,000 for the dinner.
Mayor pro tem Stern reported that he met with Credit Suisse,
the new owners of Ocean Trails, and he felt it was a productive first
meeting with everyone getting to know each other. He felt it was
important to impress upon Credit Suisse the needs of the City and Ocean
Trails obligations to the City.
Councilwoman Ferraro asked if they were receptive to this
and did it appear that they would follow the plan.
Mayor pro tem Stern said that it appeared that they would
be cooperative and that they no authority to do otherwise.
Mayor McTaggart asked if someone would attend the PERT
graduation, which including many RPV residents, on the following Thursday
night and Mayor pro tem Stern said that he would try.
Mayor McTaggart mentioned a letter received by the Secretary
of State Bill Lockyear which suggested that the City provide signers for
the deaf and Braille agendas for the blind.
City Manager Evans said that he understood this was to
provided if a request was made.
City Attorney Lynch added that under the Americans with
Disabilities Act, the City had a responsibility to provide this.
Mayor McTaggart asked if there was money in the budget
to cover this.
City Manager Evans said that estimates of costs would
be obtained.
Councilman Gardiner said that the May 23 PV Transit
agenda was to include items on fare increases and their position on cameras
being installed in the buses.
City Manager Evans said that he understood the cameras
have been installed for about a year.
Mayor McTaggart said that he had heard the same but that
they were not operational.

The zd1211 and zd1211b in BT4 beta and BT4 PRE are only partially patched. You will inject with speed of maximum 150PPS. If you follow the tutorial your speed will increase to 400-550PPS depending on how far the AP is from your PC.
Following the tutorial is highly recommended to get the most out of your zd1211 device.
PS. proper power level detection has been created for testing. Make sure you try that as well.
All my patch experiments.. every time had problems with mac80211 as reported where various lines are just out of wack.. I did lose power signal too.. which annoyed me enough to go back to a older vmware image.. (I know there's a fix.. but I guess I'm not sure I was seeing any higher pps numbers)
I'm recieving 500 pps after I get a break-in with Backtrack Pre Final default drivers.. within super close range to my test router..
I think mine is zd1211b too.. but not sure.. if you want to throw out the linux command I'll double check..
I ran a hack on my test router for 10 hours last night.. it got like 17,000 IV's but nothing that aircrack could sniff out.. I try to sign on for one second with my laptop (with fake/wrong mac) and it goes from 0 pps to 500 pps
I guess I'm wondering if I have a hack command wrong or something.. since I listed out my commands below.. maybe someone has a suggestion..
Or I could try using wicd (if you can to) sign on to a hacked network to see if the pps shoot up instead of staying at 0 for 10 hours..
It's hard for me to believe that they actually made the wusb54gc worse.. cause it worked fine in backtrack 3 and 2.. but I may try your patch out.. but for now I'm concentrated on my yagi
I have now successfully patched the yagi and it's pps is the same.. least for my test router.. which is you know 4 feet away
I think the patch doesn't fix the power levels cause.. I think there still reported incorrectly.. I did see during my failed early hacks today.. that my pps got as high as 900 though.. not that I was getting anywhere
I think maybe my problem just lies with the deauth command.. "-1 0" or "-1 6000 -o 1 -q 10"
I moved my router far away had a reporting of -90 on power (which it should have or would have been normally reported at 20 or 10) and was able to get about 20 Kb/s out of it.. that hack only took 2-6 hours..
Probably going to experiment with both my patched and unpatched versions of vmware.. figure out which one I like better.. in terms of pps and power reporting..
What I can say is after years of use my yagi is now cracking but I'm not 100% sure it's doing it all the time or what the factors are on it working successful all the time..
(right now I have another one running.. but no DATA coming back.. if I understand right.. the DATA is the IV's and it's that, that gets the key)
Well, I've completed about 5-6 more test hacks.. in the space of as little as 3-5 minutes as high as 30-40 minutes.. (pps numbers always staying at 500 with the patch I saw them go as high as 900 pps but though seemed to be some of the endless loop hacks or something) basically I've given up on the patched driver and sticking with backtracks after all I like my power level numbers normal yah 50 to 1 and all that..
Weirdly the data #'s/IV's don't kick in.. always right away.. it can take a while before the whole ARP/data attack get's going even after the pps get's started..
But there are still some issues to resolve.. I believe from a older post I had indentified my chipset as a AR5007 or zd1211rw if that helps.. but I'm no expert.. all I can say is.. it works now.. it never used to work before.. it means once I have worked out the kinks.. I can dump my linksys
You are welcome to a 5 Gb vmware image patched or unpatched if you that will help you out..


description: Many primates are vegetarian, but not these chimpanzees in Tanzania, as a group of colobus monkeys finds out.

title: Chimps Hunting in Trees

allowUserEmbed: True

transcript:
Chimpanzees are smart, agile and crafty – and when they’re hungry, they can be lethal, as you’re about to see.
Here in Tanzania, Africa, these chimps are hunting their next meal: Monkeys!!!
But Colobus monkeys are worthy adversaries, able to stand their ground against predatory primates almost four times their size!!!
To try and outwit their pursuers, the Colobus lure the chimps higher and higher into the trees, where the smaller, lighter Colubus have an advantage – they can balance on branches the chimps would break.
This male Colobus holds his tail just barely out of the hunter chimp’s reach...
Giving the ahem! ‘women and children’ time to escape.
Watching the chimps chase these Colobus is like watching the action-adventure version of a great chess match – with stakes of life and death.
Below, a female chimp follows the action. No question who she’s rooting for.
This chimp is named “Frodo.”
He climbs and climbs and makes a daring ‘leap of faith.’
But the Colobus isn’t afraid of racking up a little ‘hang time’ himself.
After all, these little guys can make huge leaps – even as high as 50 feet into the air!
Then, a wrong move – a Colobus leaps into the arms of death.
And the victors whoop it up good.
The young hunter displays his kill...
Only to have the dominant chimp confiscate his prize. I guess these chimps are like the National Football League – no showboating here, especially when the tribe is hungry.

Please call 796-6000 if you have further questions.
All students who receive VA education benefits are required to maintain a 2.0 G.P.A. to meet minimum standards of progress. See the University of Alaska Southeast catalog for more information.
Tutoring is available through The Learning Center. However if you need more than one hour of tutoring per subject per week in order to bring your course grade up to a "C" you may be eligible to have VA pay for additional tutoring. Contact this office for more information.
Education Information for All Students
University of Alaska Southeast offers Veteran's educational benefits to eligible veterans, reservists, and dependents for most courses. Benefits may be paid for courses that are required for the student's declared program of study on file in the University of Alaska Southeast financial aid Office some limitations apply. Students receiving benefits must be aware of and maintain satisfactory progress throughout their program of study in accordance with University of Alaska Southeast and VA Standards of Progress.
Matriculation Requirements
All students are required to have official transcripts from all prior colleges, universities, and training institutes on file within the first semester of attendance. In addition, students must complete the Matriculation process within 2 semesters which includes completing assessment in reading, English and math, and meeting with the University of Alaska Southeast Veterans Affairs academic counselor. New students must complete these requirements before the start of the first semester.
Benefit Coverage
Payment of benefits is based on the number of units in which a student is enrolled. When applying for VA benefits, students must declare a major. Benefits will be paid only for courses required for that degree. Once a satisfactory grade has been earned, Veterans may not repeat that course and receive benefits. Benefits are restricted on some types of courses such as: televised, independent study, field trips, short term, non-degree credit, and remedial courses. Students should always check with the University of Alaska Southeast Veterans Educational Services Office before registering for courses.
Unit Equivalency
VA converts credit earned during nonstandard quarters or semester to credit hour equivalents. VA makes the conversion, not the school. When enrollment periods overlaps, credit hour equivalents for the period of the overlap are combined.
The credit hour equivalency tables show training time for nonstandard length quarters and semesters. To determine the number of weeks:
- Count the number of days in the enrollment period (first day through the last day)
- Divide by 7.
- Disregard a remainder of 3 days or less and consider a remainder of 4 days or more a full week.
NOTE: remember not to confuse remainder of the days with the decimal places.
Use the chart below to find the Semester Hour Equivalency.

Topic: Maintenance Chemo

My doctor has never recommended maintenance chemo and I am concerned. Do most of you get maintenance chemo ? I have intrahepatic cc. Thanks
Hi Lisa
Can you please clarify what you mean by maintenance chemo?
I've seen two uses of this term.
1. Chemo done after surgery. The proper medical term for this kind of chemo is Adjuvant chemo. Consolidation chemo is another term for the same thing.
Adjuvant/Consolidation chemo is usually recommended when the surgery results in positive margins or/and positive lymph nodes. That said, some patients receive recommendation to do adjuvant chemo even though their surgery is clean.
2. Maintenance chemo can also mean a long, continuous chemo prescribed to patients in remission. You can read more about it in this New York Times article:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/21/healt … wanted=all
CC doesn't have an established maintenance chemo protocol. I've never heard of CC patients doing maintenance chemo. I'm not sure why. My guess is, most CC chemo protocols are too toxic to do on a continuous basis. Another reason (mentioned by Marion) is lack of clinical trials to prove that maintenance chemo is of benefit to CC patients.

When a person buys the assets of a business some assets are subject to sales or use tax, while others are not.
The following items (tangible personal property) are subject to sales tax:
Generally, the sales tax should be collected by the seller and then paid to the Department. However, if the seller does not collect the sales tax, then the buyer must pay use tax directly to the Department on the tangible personal property acquired in a real estate purchase.
The following items are not subject to sales tax:
As the buyer of a business, you could be liable for the unpaid taxes of the former owner. Therefore, you should require the seller to provide a Tax Status (pdf) letter with regard to any outstanding taxes owed by the business. You are required to withhold from the purchase price the amount of any outstanding taxes due from the seller. See WAC 458-20-216 for more information about successor liability.
A transfer of capital assets is not taxable to the extent the transfer is accomplished through an adjustment of the beneficial interest in the business. See WAC 458-20-106.

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are usually administered to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions.
Screening Guidelines
At this time, there are no current screening guidelines or tests for ovarian cancer. However, if you have any risk factors for ovarian cancer, your doctor will want to discuss them with you to help reduce your risk. In certain cases, your doctor may check for the possibility of cancer in the ovaries. Examples of those with higher than average risk of ovarian cancer include a family history or specific genetic abnormalities.
Possible tests for those with high risk include:
- Pelvic exam
- Pap smear—to test for the presence cervical dysplasia or cervical cancer
- Ultrasound
- Blood tests
Talk to your doctor about your ovarian cancer risk and any tests you may need.

Trust Us: April's Movies and Books
Kim Kardashian
Attack one Kardashian and you attack them all. That's the lesson from the recent flour-bombing of Kim Kardashian at a Dress for Success charity event in Los Angeles. Though Kim initially joked about the dusting—she brushed herself off and went back to the party— she is now threatening to sue her alleged attacker. And because the flour-bombing suspect, Christina Cho, has ties to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Khloé Kardashian announced she was severing association with the group. "I've been a vocal supporter of PETA for a long time," Khloé said on her blog, "but I have also been very vocal about anti-bullying, so this was a huge disappointment for me. As you all know, I don't condone violence and bullying, and what happened last Thursday was just that. I am absolutely disgusted by their behavior."
Ryan Seacrest
When Sacha Baron Cohen (dressed as The Dictator) spilled "the ashes of Kim Jong Il" all over Ryan Seacrest on the Academy Awards red carpet, Seacrest was prepared. Sort of. "I was surprised but not surprised," he said on his radio show the next day. "I definitely did not know he was going to do that." And the American Idol host also had a suspicion of what actually was in that urn. "Because I was watching my carbohydrate intake all week," he quipped, "I'm sure it was pancake mix." But Donald Trump wasn't amused by the attack and rushed to Seacrest's defense on Twitter: "[Sacha Baron Cohen] is a moron who should have been pummeled by the weak and pathetic security person who stood watching as he poured ashes over @RyanSeacrest, a wonderful guy, at the Academy Awards red carpet. The security person totally froze—he should be fired."

Medea Benjamin, the Woman Who Heckled Obama, Is Not Sorry
Medea Benjamin wasn't even sure she was going to get into the building on Thursday, let alone hear President Obama say she is a "woman worth listening to."
The 60-year-old had been given a pass by a friend to the president's counterterrorism speech at the National Defense University, in which he was expected to address major new reforms in his foreign-policy strategy. A well-known antiwar activist and frequent heckler of powerful people, she wasn't sure she'd get past security.
"If he had indeed made significant policy changes, I wasn't going to say anything," Benjamin, the founder of Code Pink told The Daily Beast on Thursday evening. "I would have preferred that option, but given that he didn't make those kind of changes I was looking for, I was glad to be given the opportunity to speak out."
"Speak out" she certainly did. As the president's address pivoted from drones, which he vowed to reduce the use of, to the U.S. prison at Guantánamo Bay, Benjamin stood up and began shouting unsolicited questions about the hunger strikes there, interrupting the speech and begging Obama to shut the prison down. "Why don't you sit down," the president replied, "and I will tell you exactly what I'm going to do."

USC to hold 5th annual May Carolina Alumni Weekend
By, Peggy Binette, email@example.com, 803-777-5400
Alumni of the University of South Carolina are invited back to campus for the fifth annual May Carolina Weekend May 10 – 12.
A springtime tradition, May Carolina Alumni Weekend features exhibits, lectures, tours and receptions for alumni of all ages and their families. Many of the events are free and only require registration.
A complete list of this year's events is available on the Carolina Alumni Association website. Among the offerings will be:
• a presentation by South Carolina Honors College professor Jim Burns titled "Motown Records and the History of Popular Music in American 1958 – 1988," which features a talk, music, singing and dancing;
• a talk and book signing by 1958 alumnus Jim Harrison, whose coffee table book "The Palmetto and Its South Carolina Home" showcases the story, artistry and love for our state tree;
• a photography class by 1987 alumnus John Wrightenberry, well-known for his artistic approach to portrait and wedding photography;
• "How to Really Help Small Businesses," a talk by 1976 alumnus Frank Knapp Jr., president of the S.C. Small Business Chamber of Commerce; and
• a behind-the-scenes tour of the Colonial Life Arena.
May Carolina Alumni Weekend is a complement to Homecoming. The spring weekend is designed to allow schools and colleges to plan more content for alumni than a busy football weekend would allow. Homecoming will be Nov. 9 – 10.

text: By KD Drummond on Nov 27, 5:48p Dallas is going to be faced with several salary cap questions during the coming offseason. Looking at things in this light is scary, because Dallas is going to have to shell out a lot of money just to return the team that is 13-14 over the last two seasons. Take a look at players Dallas will need to address to avoid them walking or being in the final year of their deals: Anthony Spencer - contract expires after season Tony Romo - contract voids after 2013 Sean Lee - contract expires after 2013 Jason Hatcher - contract expires after 2013 Then, you look at players that aren't living up to their contracts for whatever reason and you wonder if any releases are on the horizon. Players such as: Miles Austin: Salary $6.7 in 2013, no cap hit for release (his contract's the reason we are fined $10m in cap space) Doug Free: Salary $7m($8.3m cap hit to release) Jay Ratliff: Salary $5m ($7.1m cap hit to release) Orlando Scandrick: Salary $2m ($2m-$3m cap hit to release) There's still five games to go in 2012, and these players, some with recently signed deals, will have their worthiness evaluated over the home stretch. http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2012...oys-five-thoughts-linebackers-anthony-spencer

7 Series - E38 (1995 - 2001)
|Thread Tools
|Display Modes
1996 E38 740i Not Starting
Hello All, This is my initial newcomer posting on Bimmerfest copied & pasted to the 7 forum.
To start I was a Very Happy driver of a 1996 manufactured E38 740i residing in the Johannesburg area of South Africa. I am working in Ghana & keep this car for when I come home on leave four times a year. Unfortunately due to not being able to start my car I have not been able to use it this time & have resorted to using a spare 316 although it gets me from A to B it is "Not" in the fashion that I have become accustomed to.
To cut a story short I have landed at Bimmerfest & become a new member due to searching for a solution to fix my not starting problem. Big
The symptoms are that the starter does not engage & there are no gear selection lights illuminating. Only the "S" illuminates when the Sport Position is selected. The Starter turns the engine when the Solenoid is energized but does not start.
To reflect on the onslaught of the problem my son was driving this car when he says that it suddenly died on him.
I have read plenty of the posted remedies given to guys who have cars with similar problems & have established that there is "No Power" being delivered to the Transmission Position Switch.
I have a reasonable understanding of basic systems & circuits & have checked all of the simplicities being fuses & relays.
I have been searching endlessly for a source where I can download Electrical Schematics but the best I have come up with is a complete Manual which is very poorly copied into PDF format which has split pages which ironically are the ones I require. The other schematics I downloaded are perfect but are for a 95 model with a M60 4.0litre engine. I have bought CDs on eBay in the UK but most of these guys do not post directly to us especially in Africa. My daughter has posted them on but this doesn't help at present, not only that the cost of searching & downloading is mounting up. I have not been able to locate a download, only CDs & Hard Copies.
I am at present downloading the 7 Series Manual from eMANUAL
Correct drawings for my particular model will be greatly appreciated which will allow me to trace where the dead wires should get their power from, & of course send to.
I would be grateful to anybody who can throw some light on my predicament,
Cheers Clive.
Non start
Please carry out a fault code test as this should tell you what is wrong with your BMW
Like stated above, scan the car for codes, using a code reader if available. If the batt was not disconnected or drained you might have a transmission code stored and this could be a clue in your diagnosis.
Indeed the NO start situation is due to your gear selector switch not getting power or is at fault. I don't have the diagram handy, to get them I would go to a BMW dealership if available, try to get them from there, order a service manual from dealership or use ALLDATA.com (pay the membership), or look for Mitchell auto software on the internet.
Without any diagram I would remove the round jack that goes in the transmission, and using a voltmeter I would check if there is any power coming to the transmission. I would start to check if the battery has enough voltage, if there is any voltage coming to the shifting level switch/solenoid. Since is illuminating only in S mode that is the problem.
Thanks for the reply Joy,
I have put a code reader onto the system which comes up with nothing. I used a D-CAN GT1.INPA reader with compatible BMW software which comes up blank. I have also bought & plugged on a different ECU & TCU with no changes to the readings or light illuminations.
There doesn't seem to be power at Terminal 15 of which I am not sure what this refers to. I have found that the Relay for Terminal 15 is under the Electrical Component ECU & TCU Box in the Engine Compartment. I have swapped out this relay which made no difference.
I will get hold of the relevant schematics in order to find out where the feed comes from to the Transmission Position Switch. The schematic for the 95 model says that the power for the Transmission system comes from Fuse 22. I do have four cables with power going into the TCU.
I will go to ALLDATA.com & see what I can get there to have another go at tracing the wiring today. I will let you know how I get on,
Cheers Clive.
Is the battery ok? Low voltage brings on all manner of strange things.
Good - Fast - Cheap: Pick any two.
3 x E32 735iL (Alpine White, Glacier Blue & Kashmir Beige); 2 X E38 735iL (Oxford Green & Alpine White); E53 X5 4.4i (Pearl Beige); R50 Cooper; R55 Cooper Clubman (Both Pure Silver).
E38 Parts Car
E21 318i; E23 735i; E30 318i; E32 735iL; E34 535i; E38 730iL; E53 4.4i
I've just changed my wiper blades and now my reverse lights don't work. Should I change my fuel pump relay?
Low Voltage is a good point, it's surprising how even a slightly low battery that will still start the car will cause all manner of strange problems that don't seem to make sense. Fwiw I had the battery low once and it cranked over rather slowly, but did in fact start. However, the SRS airbag light turned on and transmission went into failsafe mode. Drove for an hour, turned it off and started it again and it acted like nothing happened.
If your car was stored for a while with the battery connected, it may be good to pull the battery for a day or two and have it fully charged, then reinstall and start.

Have you tried to check the error memory of the transmission control module using INPA and it came on nothing? If there's absolutely no error stored, low/no voltage could be the issue.
If you swap the TCU or the ECU without align them with the EWS will not start. EWS= immobilizer module.
Edit: TC module is the first one (from front to rear) in the E box. Shift solenoid is in the transmission and is fed through a bunch of cables (round connector).
The TC module is powered from 2 30A fuses from the ebox. Check these fuses first. Cables from the fuse to TCM are RT & RT/BL. The TCM is also fed from the ECM relay (in the Ebox) cable rt/sw/ge.
The shift solenoid gets power from fuse 22(10A) to pin 5 at the connectorXB532. If you don't get power at this wire check fuse 22. From the shift solenoid to TCM
SW/VI, pin 53 from TC module feeds from neutral/park.
Fuse 22 & fuse 24= Engine control and they are all in the Ebox.

Thanks all, the Battery is good & has been discharge tested at the battery centre. I have also been using a good second battery when the power drops from fault finding.
I have checked all of the fuses for continuity but I will go further & check the power going through the wiring from fuse 22 & the ECM Relay in the morning. From there I will check for power at the round plug wiring to the shift solenoid.
I don't see any mention of BMWs in the ALLDATA Website & the file i downloaded from eMANUALS does not contain Wiring Diagrams. Are there any other options apart from BMW.
Will see what tomorrow brings.
Best way to test the fuses are by removing them and then checking for continuity. If you let them in place and check for continuity you might get fouled.
All cable joints and earths may need a good look too.
Good - Fast - Cheap: Pick any two.

I've just changed my wiper blades and now my reverse lights don't work. Should I change my fuel pump relay?
Hello Joy & all,
I have checked the fuses externally & they are ok. There is battery voltage on both sides of the fuses with the ignition switched on.
There is only 1.1volts found at terminal 5 of the Round Pinned Plug to the Transmission Solenoid Valve Block in the Transmission. Voltages found at all of the pins are as follows;
Pin 1 = 1.1volts
Pin 2 = 0volts
Pin 3 = 0volts
Pin 4 = 1.21volts
Pin 5 = 1.1volts
Pin 6 = 1.46volts
Pin 7 = 0volts
Pin 8 = 1.22volts
Pin 9 = 1.22volts
Pin 10 = 1.46volts
Pin 11 = 0volts
Pin 12 = 0.8volts
Pin 13 = 4.98volts
Pin 14 = 0volts
Pin 15 = 0volts
Pin 16 = 0.8volts
What voltage should Terminal 5 have?
Can you draw any conclusions from this?
Can you help me with Electrical schematics for this car. The closest I have is for a 95 model & a ZF 5HP-19 Transmission,
Cheers Clive.
