CIDCO launched its Smart City Action Plan at the hands of Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis on December 4th, 2015 at the Vashi Exhibition Centre in Navi Mumbai. The NIUA-CIDCO Smart City Lab assisted in the process by facilitating preparation and documentation of proposed smart projects across the various departments of CIDCO. The projects span the brownfield development in the seven nodes of CIDCO Navi Mumbai (South) and the greenfield development at Pushpak Nagar. The projects are divided into 10 objective areas
Smart Organisation : CIDCO recognized early on in its Smart City journey, that to be able to successfully deliver on its Smart City vision, it has to develop itself into a world class organization.As part of this transformational process, CIDCO reviewed the changes in the business environment and proposed to strengthen the four core fundamental principles around which its Smart City vision is anchored, namely – People, Technology, Environment and Efficiency.CIDCO is investing Rs 219.5 Crores by 2019 in various initiatives towards transforming its organization.
E-Governance, Transparency and Ease of Business : Improving transparency and ease of doing business using technology transformation.CIDCO's Twenty Point Transparency plan has focused on improving public services and growing citizens' expectations. The transparency plan initiated by CIDCO is a coordinated effort by the Management to improve citizen experience. The plans range from creating a governance framework for better delivery of key e-governance initiatives to creating policies and procedures that would be a guide for employees and stakeholders in delivery.CIDCO is investing Rs 170.04 Crores by 2016 in various initiatives towards using people, processes and technology.
Environmental Sustainability : Environmental Sustainability has been an integral part of the smart city vision. CIDCO has been sensitive towards preservation of environment since the inception of the Navi Mumbai project and has accordingly taken measures to protect it. With renewed vigor it is rededicating to this cause by strengthening its efforts through development of mangrove parks, nature park, missions like Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, special projects like river front development etc. Wherever required, CIDCO is determined to regulate undesirable developments and promoting causes such as conservation of water by mandatory stipulations.
CIDCO is investing Rs 418 Crores by 2019 in various initiatives in its efforts towards environmental sustainability.
Swachh Bharat : The mission initiated by the Government of India last year is being fully supported by CIDCO, through employment of good sanitation practices including solid waste management and preventing open defecation through construction of toilets for the convenience of people.CIDCO is investing Rs 378.75 Crores by 2020 towards new sewage treatment plants (STPs), using technologies such as GIS in mapping of health hotspots and in its solid waste management.
Financial Independence : CIDCO believes that cities can flourish if they are financially independent, i.e. all finances required for sustenance of a city have to be generated within the city. These could be based on value added services to citizens, rent on leased public spaces, strategic use of land for commercial ventures etc. Financially sustainable cities attract industries, residential interests, and better social infrastructure and create employment for citizens. CIDCO is undertaking all its major infrastructure, transportation, port and affordable housing initiatives costing Rs.32744 Cr. as well as smart city initiatives costing nearby Rs.2033.40 Cr. out of its self-generated resources. This is because CIDCO has developed a robust market intelligence driven system wherever land is monetized in order to fund the city development.
Inclusive Planning : A key building block of the Smart City is to keep it inclusive where in the women, elderly, differently-abled and sons of soil feel at home. CIDCO has always been ahead of the curve in recognizing and addressing this issue. A holistic approach is considered, wherein physical planning (by way of providing plots for various activities) is supported by commensurate social environment. Housing, employment training , resource centers and recreation centers are some of the initiatives that will benefit from CIDCO's planned investment of Rs 10911.85 Crores by 2019 towards inclusionary planning.
Quality of Life : Special projects such as Nature Park, Central Park, Golf Course, River front development, have been envisaged to promote greenery and ensure environment sustainability. These have been conceptualized with a view to not only add value to the city and offer its citizens opportunity for recreation etc. but also make water bodies more accessible to the people so that unscrupulous activities do not take place and degrade the environment. CIDCO envisages that one of the key building blocks of a smart city is to develop Navi Mumbai as a city of choice for its residents by offering livability and quality of life. This will be attained by providing, public safety, open spaces, social facilities etc. for a stress free, environmentally friendly citizen experience.
As part of this initiative, CIDCO has undertaken range of projects, namely, river fronts, water fronts and Marina. CIDCO has worked out a comprehensive model towards protecting and enriching open spaces and is investing Rs. 635 Crores by 2019 in these quality of life initiatives.
Provision of Basic Infrastructure :As part of self-sustained city program, Infrastructure is the core block that involves application of new strategies and technologies. CIDCO has always aimed to provide adequate infrastructure in the form of water, sanitation, roads, railways, information and communication technology –in order to improve living standards and enhance productivity, mobility and connectivity.
Water supply, power, road network, bus transport systems are some of the investments planned by CIDCO, which is investing Rs 7484.26 Crores by 2019 in world class urban infrastructure.
Transit Oriented Development (TOD) : CIDCO has pioneered the concept of Transit Oriented Development (TOD) by exploiting the air space above railway stations, the landmark being Vashi & Belapur station complex developed in late 90s. On the suburban rail network currently under development, i.e. the Nerul – Seawood – Uran corridor, the Seawood station and its adjoining commercial hub project is another iconic project of TOD.
'Smart Cities' are those where the residents can either walk to their work places or have public transport system right next to their houses, so that they can reach their work places quickly. CIDCO had been developing the bus transport and railway transport systems. CIDCO's ground breaking concept of 'Railway Station cum Commercial Complex' makes it a major driving force behind the city's economic development
CIDCO has launched several rail projects in partnership with central railways and has now ventured into METRO development.
The NextGen Cities Conclave is a part of the series of capacity building conference on smart cities that Governance Now is organising across India. The Conclave will be attended by key officials of the state government, various agencies, academia, industry and the media.
Siddharth Pandit, Chair, Smart City Lab will speak on Integrated Urban Planning and Development on the session between 1445 and 1530 hours.

On the last day of August, his closest friends arrive unannounced to confront him about his recent reclusive and self-destructive behavior. Wanting to support him, yet skeptical of his psychological health, they attempt the tight-rope walk of loving confrontation in the hopes of convincing Dan to return home. Friendships are tested and love reveals itself in this independent drama about breaking down and breaking through.

Many Federal Reserve policymakers said additional stimulus would probably be needed soon unless the economy shows signs of a durable pickup, according to minutes of their most recent meeting.
�Many members judged that additional monetary accommodation would likely be warranted fairly soon unless incoming information pointed to a substantial and sustainable strengthening in the pace of the economic recovery,� according to the record of the Federal Open Market Committee�s July 31- Aug. 1 gathering released today in Washington.
Policy makers said after the meeting that they will step up record stimulus if needed to spur growth and cut a jobless rate stuck above 8 percent since February 2009. Chairman Ben S. Bernanke will have an opportunity to clarify his views in an Aug. 31 speech at a forum for central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where he signaled a second round of bond buying by the Fed in 2010. Fed officials next meet on Sept. 12-13.
Many participants at the Fed�s meeting said that a new large-scale asset-purchase program �could provide additional support for the economic recovery.�
The minutes also reflected discussion of the merits of purchasing Treasury securities relative to mortgage-backed securities. While �some� members worried about the impact on debt markets, a staff analysis showed �substantial capacity for additional purchases without disrupting market functioning.�
�Exceptionally Low�
Policy makers, who said in their Aug. 1 statement that economic conditions �warrant exceptionally low levels for the federal funds rate at least through late 2014,� discussed extending the duration for how long they will keep the main interest rate near zero, the minutes show.
The Standard & Poor�s 500 Index pared declines after the release of the minutes, falling 0.3 percent to 1,409.35 as of 2:23 p.m. in New York after declining as much as 0.5 percent. The yield on the 10-year Treasury decreased 0.08 percentage point to 1.71 percent.
�It was noted that such an extension might be particularly effective if done in conjunction with a statement indicating that a highly accommodative stance of monetary policy was likely to be maintained even as the recovery progressed,� according to the minutes.
2014 Guidance
Participants questioned whether the guidance was clear enough, and �a few� suggested that the committee replace the date with changes in the economy that would prompt policy makers to raise the fed funds rate, or cut guidance language entirely, the minutes show.
Policy makers �agreed to defer a decision on this matter� until the September meeting when they will update their economic forecasts.
The minutes show the FOMC also discussed other options for boosting stimulus, including cutting the interest rate paid on reserves banks keep at the Fed.
�While a couple of participants favored such a reduction, several others raised concerns about possible adverse effects on money markets,� the minutes said.
A couple of Fed members also �expressed interest� in exploring programs similar to the Bank of England�s Funding for Lending Scheme which seeks to encourage lending to households and firms.
Communications Debate
The minutes show the FOMC continuing to discuss the ways they communicate with the public about policy. The Fed�s staff presented research on so-called monetary policy rules that would guide Fed action.
The subcommittee on communications developed an �experimental exercise� to see whether the committee could present a �consensus forecast� of the committee�s views.
Since the FOMC meeting, some U.S. economic data have exceeded expectations, with retail sales increasing in July and employers adding 163,000 jobs, the most in five months. Industrial production and consumer confidence also rose, and a report today showed sales of existing homes climbed in July from an eight-month low.
The brighter data has helped push the S&P 500 to six straight weekly gains and to almost a four-year high.
Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart, an FOMC voter this year, said yesterday the committee faces a risk of easing too much while trying to energize a �disappointing� three-year-old recovery. In contrast, he said last month that weak economic data increased the odds he would back more Fed purchases of bonds known as quantitative easing to cut borrowing costs.
Enough Already
Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher, who doesn�t vote on policy this year, said on Aug. 8 the Fed has already provided sufficient economic stimulus.
�There�s a growing perception right now that the economy isn�t that bad even though it�s not as good as people would like,� said Bluford Putnam, the chief economist at CME Group Inc., the Chicago-based owner of the world�s largest futures market.
�If the data improve, then the Fed can look eventually toward normalizing monetary policy,� said Putnam, a former economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. He spoke before release of the minutes.
Retail sales rose 0.8 percent in July, the biggest gain since February and first increase in four months, the Commerce Department said Aug. 14. A separate report the same day showed that inventories at U.S. companies rose in June at the slowest pace in nine months.
QE3 Odds
Those reports reduce the chance the FOMC will announce a third round of quantitative easing at its next meeting because �continued weakness is necessary to prompt a substantial easing move,� according to a report from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Chief Economist Jan Hatzius.
�U.S. economic data continue to look a bit stronger,� the New York-based economist wrote Aug. 14. Still, a �very solid case� for more accommodation remains, and the Fed will probably decide to ease policy after next month�s meeting.
Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren and John Williams of San Francisco have called since the FOMC meeting for additional stimulus to jump-start growth and reduce unemployment. Rosengren told CNBC on Aug. 7 that policy makers should pursue an �open- ended� program of bond purchases known as quantitative easing.
Williams said in an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle that weakening employment, consumer spending and economic growth suggest the Fed should begin a third round of bond purchases. Williams holds a vote on the FOMC this year, while Rosengren doesn�t.
Jobless Rate
Record Fed stimulus has failed to bring about a sustained decline in the jobless rate, which climbed in July to 8.3 percent, the same level as January. The pace of payrolls growth slowed to an average of 73,000 a month in the second quarter compared with an average of 226,000 in the first quarter.
Policy makers are concerned economic growth is too weak to buoy the job market. The world�s largest economy will probably expand 1.8 percent in the third quarter and 2.1 percent in the final quarter, according to the median of 75 estimates in a Bloomberg survey. Gross domestic product grew 2 percent in the first quarter of this year before decelerating to 1.5 percent from April until June.
The U.S. expansion faces headwinds from a faltering world economy. The International Monetary Fund last month cut its 2013 global growth forecast as Europe�s debt crisis prolongs Spain�s recession and weighs on emerging markets from China to India.
�Awful� Trade
Chicago Fed President Charles Evans said to reporters today in Beijing that a weakening in global trade is �awful.�
In the short term, global economic growth will probably hold steady, according to Frank Calderoni, chief financial officer for Cisco Systems Inc., the biggest maker of computer- networking equipment.
The San Jose, California-based company forecasts �neither a significant improvement nor a deterioration in global macro- economic conditions in the near future,� Calderoni said on a conference call with analysts. Cisco soared 9.6 percent on Aug. 16 after posting profit and sales that topped analysts� estimates.

What's New
Subway Mosaic Font Family by Harold's Fonts
About: The Subway Mosaic fonts were inspired by the classic mosaic tile signs of the New York City subway system. There are several styles there; I was looking at the serif-font station signs dating to the early 20th century. I've tried to maintain the somewhat quaint letterforms while regularizing them for contemporary use. There are 3 fonts (White, Black and Solid) that can be used independently or layered in different colors for end less variation.

Recipe from Kim Taylor of Ohio
1-2 pounds of cooked and peeled shrimp
1 box of Uncle Bens long grain wild rice
1-2 bags of ready to eat fresh spinach
2 tbls. olive oil
3 tbls. butter
1 tbls. minced garlic
1 lb of bacon.
Prepare Uncle Ben's long grain wild rice per the box instructions. While the rice is cooking fry up 1 lb. of bacon until crispy, crush into pieces and set aside. Then in a large skillet saute spinach in olive oil, you may use more or less than 2 tbls of olive oil depending on if you use 1 or 2 bags of spinach. I have found that the more spinach the better. Continue to saute spinach until it cooks down. Once the rice is done mix in the bacon and spinach. Remove tails from shrimp and saute shrimp in butter and garlic until hot. Do not saute too long or the shrimp will get tough. Mix shrimp in with the rice, bacon, and spinach and serve.

Scenes from the 5th Annual Cookie Takedown
The Fifth Annual Cookie Takedown was in full swing on Sunday at the Bell House in Gowanus. The event organizer, Matt Timms of Chili Takedown fame, was full of energy and excitement as usual. "There are no rules, so there's gonna be some crazy choices," he said before the tasters got down to munching. At Matt's takedowns (which in the past have revolved around bacon, tofu, fondue, and more) there are "never professionals."
The offerings were creative indeed. Among the participating treats were Banana Bread Re-Snicker-Cycle Doodles, a Snickers bar, snickerdoodle, and banana bread combo cookie. There was also the Frankencookie, a brownie sandwiched between peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies, and the Miso Awesome, which packed white chocolate chips, white miso, wasabi peas, tamari, and almonds.
Paige McCurdy-Flynn from Cookie Fairy Sweets, Kenneth Grande from Leske's Bakery, and Seth Unger from the Food Film Festival acted as judges. Unger wore an elf suit to the event, and claimed to have been recently fired from Keebler for being too tall. The crowd also voted, and the prizes, Cuisinart mixers, went to the People's Choice winners, although Grande did make a surprise announcement of an award for the judges' first place winner: Leske's would start selling the cookie at their bakery. Proceeds from the event went to a foundation Timms's sister started, the Women's Education Project.

Select your fining agent based on the type of haze material:http://beersmith.com/blog/2008/12/30/fining-agents-improving-beer-clarity/(There's also a great Brew Strong episode on Fining Agents)
My guess is no one has used it. That or I stepped in dog poo and don't know it. Either way, I'll have to give it a whirl and become the resident CF guy.
I brewed a batch with this after getting a freebee at NHC. I brewed 10 gallons and pitched the clarex in 5 gallons along with a packet of us-05. The other half got a mixed up concoction of Belgian yeasts and brett. I did not notice a huge difference in clarity. If anything the clarex half was less clear after a couple weeks in the keg. That being said, I did it for the supposed gluten reduction properties more than the clarity so I was not disappointed.
Is clarex the same as clarity ferm? My bad.

On Sunday, Oct. 30th in 1938 Orson Welles broadcast a dramatization of War of The Worlds from his New York Studio. And the exceptionally realistic retelling of H.G. Wells' classic alien invasion story caused a whole nation to panic. It's strange to listen to now, especially after various false reports generated a lot of social media panic during Hurricane Sandy. At the same time, though, it's still a pretty spectacular tale of an alien invasion.

Use Pinterest to Find Public Domain Images to Rock Your Glogs
Finding websites that have public domain images to use in your Glogs can be a time-consuming task. Searching for hours on Google or other search engines for websites that have images that are public domain and royalty free can be daunting. I have found that a quicker way to find public domain images is through searching Pinterest.
Searching "public domain" in the search window on Pinterest allows you to quickly find images that have been categorized or tagged as such. While this will lead you to images that have been listed as public domain, doing so doesn't assure that the images are definitely public domain. You need to click on the image and be redirected to the original website to double-check that the image is actually a public domain image (as well as to be able to save the image to your computer.)
Searching public domain images on Pinterest can save hours of time because many of the images have already been categorized or tagged as public domain. Therefore, the accuracy of finding a website that has public domain images is much higher than searching images through search engines. Once you have found one website that has a public domain image, there is a higher likelihood that the website has other public domain images as well, which can be used on your Glogs.
Here's how to search Pinterest for public domain images, how to save the images, and how to upload them to your Glog.

Course description
This course is for students who want to pursue a career in industrial or academic research. You'll combine the research-focused integrated masters with a year-long, paid work placement as part of your degree. When you return to Sheffield, the majority of your fourth year will be devoted to a major research project allowing you to develop advanced laboratory skills.
This course explores the interactions between humans, animals, plants and the Earth's atmosphere that determine their abundance, distribution and activities. You'll learn about human impact on ecological interactions, climate change, biodiversity and sustainability, as well as what we can do to manage natural resources in the face of changing environments.
All of our students study an essential set of core modules designed to give you the skills that every professional ecologist needs. You'll choose from optional modules that span plant sciences and zoology. You can mix and match these modules, covering genetics for conservation, animal behaviour and physiology, ecotoxicology, food-web network ecology and the microbial diversity of soils, underpinned by the latest research discoveries from our experts.
In your first year, you'll spend your first week on a field course in Sheffield, collecting and analysing data throughout the city's green spaces and out to the edge of the Peak District. Throughout the year you'll develop practical skills in the lab, including microscopy and genetics, complemented by regular field trips to zoos, aquariums and nature reserves. You'll also have lectures and take part in small group tutorials where you'll enhance your writing, data analysis and presentation skills as you learn about the latest research findings from our world-leading academics.
In your second year, your modules will cover more advanced scientific topics and techniques across ecology and conservation biology. Some students choose to take our science communication module 'Talking the Talk: Getting Science on Film' where you'll get the chance to make your own factual science documentaries, with support and advice from professional filmmakers. All of our ecology and conservation biology students receive training in modern data analysis techniques and get the opportunity to go on an optional two-week long field course between second and third year, giving you the chance to design and carry out your own research and develop an understanding of the ecology and biodiversity of different habitats across the globe.
Once you return from your placement, in your third year you'll complete a research project and dissertation in an area of ecology and conservation biology that interests you alongside your chosen specialist modules. Conducted under the supervision of one of our world experts, you'll work in a small group to define questions, develop experimental protocols, conduct the research, analyse the data and ultimately produce a written report in the form of a scientific publication.
In your fourth year, the majority of your time will be devoted to a major research project designed to equip you with the advanced laboratory, data analysis and writing skills you'll need for a successful and rewarding career in science. You'll be embedded within one of our specialist research groups, conducting your own independent research and interacting with academics and lab staff as a professional scientist.
If you want to study ecology and conservation biology, but don't meet the entry requirements to go straight into the first year, our Biosciences with Foundation Year could be for you. After successfully completing the one-year programme, you'll progress onto the first year of your chosen degree.

Prominent researcher's invention gives UARF its 50th startup company08/28/2012
Joseph P. Kennedy, distinguished professor of polymer science and chemistry, has 107 issued U.S. patents to his credit.
The University of Akron Research Foundation (UARF) recently announced the creation of its 50th startup company, thanks to the innovations of one of The University of Akron's most prolific researchers, 85-year-old Joseph P. Kennedy, Ph.D., distinguished professor of polymer science and chemistry.
Kennedy, who has 107 issued U.S. patents to his credit and continues to work on inventive research in UA's labs, began his career in industry as a research chemist in 1957. Following his arrival at UA in 1970, he played a fundamental role in the development of the College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering, helping to lift the college, the Greater Akron area, and the state of Ohio to national prominence in polymer education and research.
Surgical patients could benefit
Kennedy's research is at the heart of UARF's 50th startup company, Poly MedTech Inc., which was formed to commercialize a new medical adhesive, Suture Glue™. The adhesive would be used in place of external stitches for patients who have laparoscopic surgery, cosmetic surgery or even traumatic injuries and was designed to behave like human skin, with properties that make it more flexible than current surgical glues/adhesives.
Kennedy and his research partner, Juay Seng Tan, a former associate professor of biomedical engineering at UA, received a $50,000 Ohio Third Frontier technology commercialization grant earlier this year. To speed up the promising technology's development, UARF formed the company with support from the Austen BioInnovation Institute in Akron, which is assisting in business strategy and FDA regulatory matters, as well as private physicians like Dr. David Kay, an orthopaedic surgeon with the Crystal Clinic Orthopaedic Center and founder of orthopaedic surgical device manufacturer OrthoHelix.
Since its inception in 2001, UARF has averaged almost five startups per year, forming six startups this year alone.
"Startup companies are crucial in commercializing promising university technologies thus building the economic base within our community," says George R. Newkome, Ph.D., UARF's president and UA's vice president for research. "With the right leadership, these companies can move quickly to attract funding, focus on market needs and work tirelessly to turn laboratory technologies into viable commercial products."
New products offer promise
Over the past few years, UARF has helped UA's students and faculty form several promising startup companies. "UA's focus on technology commercialization has been crucial in attracting entrepreneurial faculty and encouraging student involvement in the development of new products," Newkome says. "In the past year or so, UARF has seen several very exciting new companies." Some of these companies include:
- Telkesis, a venture to commercialize new spinal break screw technology, was formed in 2012 and is led by UA students Jason King, Esra Cipa and Laura Vondeak, as well as Associate Dean for Research in the College of Engineering Ajay Mahajan and staff from UARF. UA's students won the 2012 LaunchTown Business Idea Competition for improved orthopaedic surgery technologies.
- Design Flux, formed in 2011, is led by UA electrical engineering students Courtney Gras and Tom Vo and based on patented UA battery management technology. Design Flux won $10,000 through the Department of Energy's Clean Energy Challenge and received a $100,000 Ohio Third Frontier grant to license the technology and to begin commercialization.
- ADAP Nanotechnology, founded by UA Professor of Polymer Science Ali Dhinojwala and recent graduate Sunny Sethi in 2009, commercializes nanotechnology inspired by gecko feet, which are covered with millions of branching nanoscopic fibers. The company has attracted $300,000 in capital, including investments from Cleveland's JumpStart Inc., The University of Akron Student Venture Fund, and Lorain County's Innovation Fund.
Long-standing successful UA startups that have developed into full-fledged companies include:
- Akron Polymer Systems was founded in 2002 by UA Polymer Science Professors Frank Harris and Stephen Cheng to commercialize high performance coatings for televisions and other display units that need to be viewed at a wide range of angles. Akron Polymer Systems now operates out of a state-of-the-art corporate facility on North Summit Street in downtown Akron, employs 13 scientists, and does research and commercialization for a wide range of polymer coatings.
- SNS Nano Fiber Technology, a joint venture between UARF and German chemical company Schill & Seilacher, was founded in 2005 and manufactures super absorbent nanofiber products that can be used to build better bandages or sop up oil spills at sea. UA Professors Darrell Reneker and Daniel Smith, who developed the electrospinning process used to make SNS's products, were involved in start-up of the company, which now employs several former UA graduate students.
- University of Akron Research Foundation
- Cleveland Plain Dealer, Sept. 6: Joseph Kennedy, Akron's King of Polymers, proves inventors are young at heart.
- Polymer scientist named American Chemical Society Fellow.

Cattle duffer jailed
A QUEENSLAND cattle farmer who has been living in Warwick is behind bars and must pay a $237,000 fine after "building a small cattle empire" mostly through stolen stock.
Ashley Armstrong Thomson, 49, stole more than $134,000 worth of cattle from five neighbours in the Cunnamulla area, near the NSW border.
He would re-brand the cattle with his RY4 symbol and often removed National Livestock Identification System ear tags indicating where they belonged.
Thomson, who has been living in Warwick after the courts banned him from attending his Cunnamulla properties, owned and lived on properties Kywong and Gilnockie.
Over 11 years, Thomson stole 59 cattle and bred 168 of their progeny, resulting in five cattle generations in some cases.
By the time some of the stolen stock was identified, Thomson had already sold at least 17 through the Dalby Saleyards to different feedlots for $12,563.
Having been bought legitimately, those cattle could not be returned to the neighbours.
Charleville District Court heard police seized many of the stolen cattle but Thomson has consented to returning another 81 cattle to the victims.
Crown prosecutor Lily Brisick said the length of the offending had watered down strong bloodlines the neighbouring farmers had worked hard to establish.
One neighbour's stud Braford cow produced a beast worth $7500 but, when bred with Thomson's stock, produced an animal worth just $436, Ms Brisick said as an example.
"In country as vast as this, where fences just cannot be checked daily, graziers rely on their neighbours to return straying stock," she said.
"Trust is what binds the community.
"Trust is even more (important) in times of drought when cattle must move further to find feed and times of flood when fences are most likely to be damaged.
"(Thomson's) conduct has spanned both drought and flood."
Police uncovered the thefts through cattle seizures and DNA tests over three years, costing police about $72,000 and victims about $90,000.
Thomson pleaded guilty after two days of a trial, which required witnesses to be flown in from NSW.
He was sentenced to two years and three months jail, suspended after he has served nine months.
The balance of the sentence will hang over his head for five years.
The sheer size of the properties around Cunnamulla, near the NSW border, would astound many.
Floods and droughts can strike them with equally catastrophic proportions.
It took years for some farmers to tell police their cattle numbers were falling dramatically.

The quiet neighborhood off Indian Lake has caught the eye of police for some nuisance complaints, but was not known for the kind of violence that shook the area early yesterday.
Police found a 27-year-old man lying dead in the parking area of the beach at the end of Clason Road, the apparent victim of a gunshot wound to the head. The case is being investigated as a homicide, police said.
Authorities this morning said no arrests have been made.
Police this morning identified the victim at Nathan Otero. District 4 City Councilor Sarai Rivera confirmed he was her nephew.
"My family and I continue to struggle with the recent tragedy that has come upon us," Ms. Rivera said in a statement yesterday afternoon sent via email by Moses Dixon on behalf of Ms. Rivera. "At this time there is an active police investigation and as a family we are grieving the loss we are now faced with."
A vigil in memory of Mr. Otero was set for 6 p.m. today on Clason Road.
Police got a report of a gunshot heard in the area of 20 Clason Road about 12:15 a.m. yesterday. When police arrived they found a man lying on the ground outside at the end of the one-block long street. According to police scanner reports, the man suffered a gunshot wound to the head. An ambulance crew also responded, but the man was not immediately taken from the scene. Police cordoned off the area around the house, which sits on the east side of Indian Lake.
Police Chief Gary J. Gemme said the area near the killing is not known for this type of violent activity.
"It's a fairly quiet area for a lot of things," the chief said. "It is unusual an incident of this magnitude happened in this neighborhood."
Residents of the neighborhood have complained about people drinking in the area at night, Chief Gemme said. As a result of the slaying, a tactical response area has been designated for the neighborhood. Added cruiser patrols, foot patrols, detectives and traffic enforcement will be beefed up for about a week, he said.
Dave Schwartz lives on Clason Road. He watched the presidential debate on Tuesday night went to bed and slept through the night. Like many of his neighbors on the short dead-end street off West Boylston Street, he was unaware that a man had been shot at the end of his street.
"I don't know what the heck happened," Mr. Schwartz said. "Somebody was mad at somebody."
Mr. Schwartz said police did a very good job of patrolling the area during the summer, but at times, there has been an increase in traffic.
"Cars pull in at 90 miles per hour," Mr. Schwartz said. "And pull out 'cause it's a dead-end road."
"I didn't hear anything," said Jackie Doherty, another neighbor. She came out of her house yesterday morning to move her vehicle because she thought the officers near cruisers in the street might be part of a work detail for the construction crew waiting to re-set curbing on the street. Instead she learned that there had been a shooting overnight. "I'm so sad; it's just so sad," she said.
Detectives left the area around 9:30 yesterday morning, but cruisers were deployed to the nearby beach areas to keep the public away for several more hours.
Another of Mr. Otero's aunts, Raquel Rivera, said the family is in shock. She said she could not comment on the active investigation, but she would share an insight into her relationship with her nephew. She saw him just last week.
"He would call me his favorite tipi," Raquel Rivera said. She explained that tia means aunt in Spanish, and she is Tipi Raquel. She said her nephew had a girlfriend and a 4-year-old daughter.
"He absolutely loved and adored his little girl," Raquel Rivera said. She said there is nothing he loved more than spending time with his daughter.
Mr. Otero was not currently working, she said, and he also liked to hang out with his friends.
Mr. Rivera's killing was the city's ninth this year, the fifth by firearm.
According to Chief Gemme, the gun violence in the city has ebbed since the first six months of the year.
"It's been very quiet since the uptick we had in the first half of the year," Chief Gemme said. "We have been tracking a number of incidents involving shots fired."

TechArt underlined its 2008 win by snatching overall victory at this year's Sport Auto Tuner Grand Prix. And just to ram home the point, it swept the board in two other classes as well.
Run by the German performance car magazine, Sport Auto, the Tuner GP started off as an internal test day at Hockenheim 17 years ago. A few readers turned up, and the following year Sport Auto decided to turn it into a full-blown spectator event, with a drift challenge thrown in for good measure.
The rules are simple. Every entrant must be totally road legal, with the TÜV certification to prove it. In Germany, every single part that goes on sale, even a wooden gear knob, has to be tested and certified by the TÜV authorities, to guarantee perfect fit and safety in operation.
Just as with normal organized motorsport, the cachet of winning the Tuner GP means a lot in image and sales terms. Because of this, the interpretation of "road legal" became rather ambiguous over the years.
The great thing about fully adjustable coilovers is that you can make them comfortable enough for road use at one end of the spectrum, and firm enough for track-day use at the other. That said, a track-day setup on a road car is still far off the settings for a true racing car.
However, in 2004, a number of cars came close to being thinly disguised racecars, and were protested by other competitors. The following year, Sport Auto and Dekra, the official third party scrutineers, made doubly sure that the interpretation of "road legal" left nothing to the imagination.
The Tuner GP normally takes place at the end of May, but due to public holidays, it was a month later this year. The format is practice sessions on Friday afternoon and the event proper on Saturday morning, with the Drift Challenge after lunch.
The event was originally divided into half a dozen classes. But as the age of the performance SUV and turbodiesel dawned, more classes were added, and coupes and cabriolets were also split off. There are now separate classes for naturally aspirated and forced induction sedans, while the kerfuffle over the street legal issue spawned the Open Class, where anything goes.
Things tend to get boring and predictable if you have exactly the same program every year, so the organizers try to vary things to keep interest high. However, the suggested third event for this year, a 400-meter sprint, was cancelled, as there were too few entrants.
In past years, a fastest lap was the clincher for a class, or overall win. The major change this year was the averaging of five flying laps, thus putting consistent speed ahead of one blinding lap.
In terms of marques, while BMWs have always figured heavily in the Drift Challenge, the cars have not been represented in the Tuner GP itself since 2006. This is a strange state of affairs as the M3 is a fairly effective track-day tool.
This year, however, BMW made a big comeback with two M3s and a 335i. The E92 M3 entered by A-Work, a Munich-based BMW, MINI and Porsche race and road tuning specialist, entering the Tuner GP for the very first time. With just a sport exhaust on a stock engine, the company's E92 M3 won the Naturally Aspirated Sedan Class in the hands of legendary multiple Tuner GP winner, Wolfgang Kaufmann. His 1 minute, 12.534-second average and 1:12.201 fastest lap put the A-Work M3 right up with some of the slower turbocharged Porsches.
The other M3 was the VF Engineering-supercharged E46 M3 CSL entered by Auto Tauber. Its 1:12.787 average and 1:12.656 fastest lap earned a well-deserved second in the Coupe/Cabriolet Class, sandwiched between TechArt's spectacularly fast GTstreet R Cabriolet and the Vath SLK55 Compressor.
Proving the point that a well set up 335i can actually be faster than an M3, Evotech Motorsport's torquey 397-hp 335i posted a 1 minute, 11.863-second average and a 1:11.681 fastest lap. Running in the Open Class, for cars with modifications that aren't street legal, it finished third after Welzel Motorsport's single-seat formula car and THF Racing's Porsche GT3 RS.
It used to be a foregone conclusion that a Mercedes-AMG car could never achieve a podium finish in the annual GP. A heavy, automatic, rear-driven car, no matter how powerful, simply stood little chance against the hordes of Porsche 911s and BMW M3s.
This was the year that changed all that. Not only did a pair of C63 AMG-based cars from Vath and Lorinser snatch second and third places on the podium, the Vath C63 that came close second in the C3 Class (naturally aspirated sedans) to the very quick M3 was the estate car (wagon) version.
However, when the stopwatches were punched, the Vath T-Model was a mere 0.6 seconds behind, its 1:13.056 average in the hands of Andreas Gulden. This was the fastest time ever set by a Mercedes in the GP's 17 years.
As with all motorsport events, driver skill is a big part of the equation, with the ability to reach peak performance and hold it over the measured laps critical for a class or overall win.On that score, Wolfgang Kaufmann had a slight edge in consistency, even if his and Gulden's best flying laps came a lot closer than their averages. The 430-hp M3's fastest lap was 1 minute, 12.201 seconds, while the 565-hp Vath V63 RS clocked an impressive 1:12.801. Both times are very quick for this class.
Tires are a big factor in the lap time battle, and even on the relatively short 1.63-mile-long Hockenheim Club Circuit, they can make close to three seconds difference to a lap. This was clearly highlighted in the C3 Class, where the M3 and Vath cars ran on the street-legal rubber allowed under the rules, while the Lorinser LV8 was on Continental Sport Contact 3 street tires simply because Conti's new track-day tires will not be available until the autumn. Thus, the 500-hp Lorinser LV8, driven by Sasha Bert, recorded a 1:15.717 average with a 1:15.397 best lap.
Vath was very prolific this year, and Andy Gulden also drove the 575-hp V63 RS in the C12 GT (naturally aspirated) Class where he finished third behind the very quick Cargraphic GT3 RSC 4.0 and the TiKT Performance Corvette. Ironically, this slightly more powerful and lighter sedan was slower than the estate with a 1:14.105 average and 1:13.712 best.
The third Vath car was the SLK55 V58K fitted with a factory Eaton supercharger running on relatively low boost for 450 hp. Entered in the C9 Forced Aspirated Cabriolet Class, it was no match for the TechArt GTstreet R Cabriolet or the Auto Tauber BMW M3, and finished third with a 1:22.760 average and 1:18.299 fastest lap.
Last but not least in the Vath contingent was the very purposeful looking 190E 2.3-16 Evo II that rivaled the winning MTM S1 Quattro rally car in the C16 Youngtimer Class (for bringing back memories of the good old days). This car is actually a 2.3-16 that was brought up to 2.5-16 Evo II bodywork spec. It was of particular interest because of its engine modifications, with the K-Jetronic injection system replaced by a Magneti-Marelli fully-mapped ignition/fuel-injection system using a single throttle per cylinder. A bespoke airbox with conical filter adds to the deep, gurgling induction sound when you pin the throttle to the lightweight carpet, and helps bump peak power to around 270 hp. Inside, a full bolted-in roll cage, race-style deep-dish steering wheel, and lightweight race seats trimmed in leather and Alcantara, endorse the car's track-day intentions. The ironic counterpoint to all this serious race hardware is the early '90s-style car phone cradle on the center console. But even 270 hp, a race-style front splitter and sticky track day Yokohamas only took this venerable homologation special to a third-in-class finish. It clocked a 1 minute, 19.311-second average, with a 1:19.183 best.
The Drift Challenge was more of an exhibition this year than a competition. As usual, MKB's Werner Gusenbauer was inch-perfect all the way in MKB's new 581-hp CLK63 drift car, and received a resounding ovation.
And so to the winners. This year's Tuner GP winner was the TechArt GTstreet RS driven by Jorg Hardt, the 1999 German Formula Ford 1800 Champion and Carrera Cup regular. Anyone watching Hardt drive the 700-hp 911 down to the winning numbers was witnessing an exercise in restraint and consistency behind the wheel. He was line-perfect, and smooth on throttle and steering to the point where the car looked quick but rather unspectacular. The timing clocks said otherwise, however, and his 1 minute, 08.037-second average, with a best lap of 1 minute, 07.709 seconds in a GT2-based Porsche on street legal rubber, was simply awesome. When you consider that this was the same lap time for a 420-hp Le Mans-qualifying Carrera RSR from 1999 with a full race setup and slick tires-from a street legal car-it's mighty impressive.
Because Hockenheim's Club Circuit has very short straights and plenty of challenging corners, it is actually better suited to cars with great handling and grip rather than out-and-out power. If anything, very powerful cars struggle here because they cannot deploy their grunt effectively exiting the tight bends. So while it may seem strange that a 700-hp turbocharged Porsche can only achieve the same lap time as a 420-hp naturally aspirated one, the fact is that a very powerful street car, whether rear- or four-wheel drive, can be a real handful here.
The antithesis of the sleek GTstreet RS, the TechArt Magnum, is brutality personified, both in the way it looks and in the way it eats tarmac. While TechArt offers up to 680 hp with a tweaked twin-turbo V8, this Magnum had a stock Cayenne Turbo S motor because TechArt has not yet homologated the upgraded engine.
Enco is TechArt's traditional rival in the GP's SUV Class, and always puts up a good fight. In this clash of titans, Jorg Hardt drove the Magnum to a 1 minute, 16.939-second average and 1 minute, 16.455-second best lap to take the class win. The even more brutal-looking Enco Cayenne posted a 1 minute, 17.816-second average, piloted by Matthias Kahle. His best lap was 1:17.662.
TechArt's third victory was in the Coupe/Cabriolet Class, where Jorg Hardt took the class win with the white GTstreet R Cabriolet. His 1:09.601 average and 1:09.351 fastest lap showed off not just TechArt's tuning prowess, but also just how good a platform the basic Porsche 997 Turbo Cabriolet is.
Cargraphic was the overall runner-up again, its Turbo RSC GT 3.6 sliding into second place in the Turbo GT Class with a creditable 1:08.641 average and 1:08.417 best lap in the hands of Dominik Schwager.Cargraphic did pull off a win in the Naturally aspirated GT Class with its GT3 RSC 4.0, Timo Kluck driving to a blinding 1:09.748 average and a 1:09.641 fastest lap.
In Europe, Audi is a major contender these days, posting much better sales figures than BMW and Mercedes in these hard times. And with its latest engine and chassis improvements, it is also a force to be reckoned with on the track. MTM entered cars in several classes and came away with a few trophies for the effort. Its formidable 700-hp RS6 R was runner up in the Sedan (Turbo Class), narrowly beaten by the lighter and nimbler Mitsubishi Evo of Import Racing.
However, MTM's mechanic and pro-race driver, Florian Gruber, took the Diesel (over 2.0 liter) Class win with an Audi A5 3.0 TDI, as well as the Funcar (Turbo) Class win with the 318-hp KTM X-Bow. In fact, Gruber's average of 1 minute, 8.536 seconds, and best of 1:07.836, brought him so agonisingly close to the TechArt GTstreet RS for overall fastest time of the day, it hurt.
That, however, is the nature of motorsport and the Sport Auto Tuner Grand Prix.
TechArt Trio -The Right Stuff
Underlining the 2008 victory, TechArt pulled off a real hat trick at this year's Tuner Grand Prix by not only winning the event overall, but also nailing three class wins as well.
A couple of weeks later, I'm at the Mercedes-owned Malmsheim test track near Stuttgart with the three TechArt machines glowing in the late afternoon sun, raring to go. Even stripped of their Tuner GP race numbers and stickers, they still look purposeful, and in the case of the black GTstreet RS, brutal.
I've driven all these cars before, but it is fitting that after their big win I should re-acquaint myself with the qualities that help them stand head and shoulders over the competition.
I climb into the chunky Magnum first. This particular Magnum is based on the latest-spec Cayenne Turbo S, but a normal Turbo is also a good starting point. TechArt has sold nearly 900 of these beasts since the Magnum concept was rolled out back in 2003. Bearing in mind that a fully decked-out Magnum doubles the price of the Cayenne Turbo, this is no mean achievement.
The TechArt Magnum's Class win was made sweeter by the fact that its 550-hp engine is stock apart from the free-flow sport exhaust that provides a truly lovely V8 bellow when you accelerate. Other than Magnum body styling, 30mm lower ride height and 23-inch wheels, this rest of the car also remains mechanically factory spec.The chassis upgrade makes the big five-door Porsche turn in and grip even more impressively than usual, and gives you the confidence to deploy its 550 horses with more gusto. Direction changes are crisper, and mechanical grip is in another league.
As the evening sky moves towards a gorgeous sunset, the white GTstreet R Cabriolet beckons. Using a Turbo Cabriolet as its starting point, it has been endowed with 660 hp and blasts to 62 mph in just 3.4 seconds, and on to 214 mph. The aerodynamic additions add 10kg of downforce over both axles at speed, while the big 8.5 and 12.0x20-inch forged alloy wheels and 245/30 and 315/25 tires make the most of the traction delivered by the all-wheel-drive system.
While many Cabriolet owners like the Tiptronic transmission for easy cruising, this car has a manual six-speed, and is all the more hardcore for it. Rocketing off the line, the boosted motor revs faster than stock and you have to pay attention to avoid hitting the rev limiter in the first two ratios. The half-mile-long runway is eaten up in seconds, and I have to really lean on the PCCB ceramic brakes as the end approaches. Loading the car up under power in a sweeping turn to go back the way I came shows just how stable and flex-free the 997 Cabriolet shell is.
On to the Champion. I first speed-tested the GT2-based TechArt GTstreet RS at Malmsheim in September 2008. This 700-hp machine does exactly what it says on the tin, with a devastating mix of blinding straight line go, precise handling and awesome grip.
"Street" is its middle name however, and none of this would be relevant if it wasn't civilized enough to also be a daily driver. TechArt's fully adjustable coilover suspension allows you to dial it up for the track and then back down again when you drive home.
Importantly, the optional hydraulic Noselift system raises the front of the car by a generous 60mm to clear car park ramps and speed bumps. Both major manufacturers and tuners have always successfully exploited the link between road and racecars. "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday" is one of the most effective sales philosophies ever conceived, and since its Tuner GP victory, TechArt's phones have been ringing off the hook. -IK

Who is he?
Eligio is a radiant and influential man (master number 11), who possesses an imposing, authoritarian and masculine character although he remains essentially warm, friendly and generous. He tends to takes great care of his appearance which could come across as a sort of vanity, or he may use his verbal talents for the purpose of seduction... Open-minded, communicative and inquisitive, he is interested in everything and loves sharing the knowledge that he acquires with others, which he does more or less cheerfully... He often conceals his extreme sensitivity behind a rather blunt and abrupt manner. He is honest, loyal and anything but lazy while he loathes pretense, flattery and deceit. Eligio is capable of tremendous generosity and is always ready to help if he can. He seeks power and this endows him with formidable energy, determination and courage although he lacks tolerance for those who are less clever than he is and is even capable of bad faith at times, while he can certainly be quite argumentative. He is prone to experiencing high levels of emotional tension - often to the detriment of his internal equilibrium. Of course, the inherent risks of his master number are all sorts of excess: too much kindness or humility - and their opposites: megalomania, tyranny, abuse of power and Machiavellianism... As a child, he is brave and determined and already knows exactly what he wants. A conflict of authority could arise from an upbringing that is too lax or interfering, but his parents can rest assured, he is somebody who can be trusted.
What does he like?
Eligio enjoys power, appreciates possessions and is rather materialist all things considered, even opportunist at times. Financial security is necessary to his well-being, not only for the comfort it brings, but also for the opportunity to share his wealth with his friends and family, to whom he is terribly attached. In love, he is honest, frank and direct, while his own exemplary loyalty doesn´t leave room for others´ betrayal, which can make him extremely bitter and angry! But as long as you treat him right you´ll have a heart that will keep you warm for a lifetime because deep down, he is as tender and affectionate as a puppy...

I had some free time and all the necessary pics, so I put this little DIY together. Hope it's useful to someone.
REPLACING TIMING CHAINS, TENSIONERS AND GUIDES ON A MKIV 12v VR6
The following DIY outlines the procedure for replacing timing chain parts on a MKIV 12v VR6 engine.
NOTE: If you are using this DIY to reinstall an upper chain and time the engine after a head rebuild or headgasket replacement (i.e., the head came off, but everything else was left in place), make sure to read the section pertinent to this topic in the DIY UPDATES at the end of the DIY!!!
Since timing chains are considered by VW to be a "lifetime" item, there is no recommended mileage for the replacement (or even inspection) of timing chain parts. However, while timing chains should realistically outlast the rest of the car, the design of the guides and tensioners used to keep the chains tight on a 12v VR6 is inadequate IMO. It is very common for guides and tensioners to fail (especially in older VR6 motors) as mileage approaches or passes 100k miles. Unfortunately, failed guides or tensioners may cause a chain to jump a tooth or more on a sprocket or may even cause a chain to snap. If either were to happen, serious damage to the engine would result as valves slam into pistons at high speed.
While there is no definitive indication that timing chain parts should be inspected and/or replaced, the most common sign of trouble is a rattling sound from the driver's side of the engine that occurs between 1000 and 1200 RPMs. This sound has been described most often as "marbles in a can" or like a sewing machine. Go to this thread to hear a sound clip of the timing chain noise that was present in my car, and eventually led to the writing of this DIY - Timing Chain Noise Thread. You can also download a video containing bad timing chain noise sent to me by dankvwguy HERE. Any noise similar to those in the clips in these threads should be considered suspect. When the timing chain parts are in good working order, the chains are under considerable tension and NOTHING should be loose enough to rattle. If you hear a rattling noise, and it's coming from one or more of the timing chain parts, it most likely indicates that these parts are either loose or broken and should be repaired ... or else!
The timing chain setup on a VR6 consists of an upper and lower chain. The upper chain connects the camshaft sprockets to an intermediate shaft sprocket (outer sprocket) and the lower chain connects a second intermediate shaft sprocket (inner sprocket) to the crankshaft sprocket. The camshaft sprockets have 27 teeth, the crankshaft sprocket has 24 teeth and the inner and outer intermediate shaft sprockets have 32 and 18 teeth, respectively. The ratio between the camshaft and outer intermediate sprockets is 3:2 (or 27:18) and the ratio of the inner intermediate shaft and crankshaft sprockets is 4:3 (or 32:24). This yields a ratio between the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets of 2:1 - i.e., the crankshaft rotates twice for every one rotation of the camshaft.
Each timing chain has a guide rail (curved on the upper chain, straight on the lower chain) and tensioner rail to keep them tight. The lower tensioner rail is a one-piece, spring-driven unit, while the upper tensioner is a two-piece design consisting of a tensioner rail and a separate tensioner bolt.
There are actually two versions of the upper timing chain setup. The early version used a double-row chain, a two-piece tensioner rail (phenolic plate(?) riveted to a metal backing) and a tensioner bolt that relies solely on oil pressure to apply force to the tensioner rail (the bolt has a bleed hole in the end to help regulate the amount of force applied). Because of an unusually high rate of wear of the upper tensioner rail (many are completely worn through the phenolic to the metal backing plate by 100k miles), the upper chain parts were replaced during the '97 model year with an "improved" setup consisting of a single-row chain, a single-piece, dense polymer tensioner rail and a tensioner bolt that uses both spring tension and oil pressure to apply force to the tensioner rail (spring tension extends the bolt to a minimum length, around 18mm, and then oil pressure extends the bolt to it's final position - this tensioner bolt does not have a bleed hole to regulate oil pressure). According to the ETKA CD, the switchover point between the older and newer upper chains setups is determined by engine production number and is as follows:
old setup - AAA engine #217000 and before
new setup - AAA engine #217001 and after
If you have an AAA VR6 and don't know where to look for the engine production number, then please read this THREAD.
The newer setup lasts considerably longer. When I replaced my timing chain parts at nearly 150k miles, the upper tensioner rail had grooves in it from the chain that were only a fraction of a mm deep. IMO, the rail would have easily last to 500k to 1M (million) miles based on how slowly it was wearing.
The lower chain parts are the same on all 12v VR6s - AFAIK, no changes to them have been made during the production of this engine.
The procedure below was based on a '99.5 MKIV Jetta GLS 12v VR6, which has the newer-style upper timing chain parts. While the older and newer upper parts are slightly different in both form and function, the procedure for replacing them is the essentially the same on all 12v VR6s. Therefore, the procedure below should be generally valid for any vehicle with a 12v VR6 engine. For those older VRs with EGR systems, you will have to deal with the removal of some EGR components from the top, rear of the engine in order to access the timing chains. Newer VRs do not have to worry about this however. If your VR has an EGR system, make sure to see the section devoted to this in the DIY UPDATES section at the end of the DIY. (Note: Torque specs given in this DIY are from the MKIV Bentley manual - these torque values may be slightly different on earlier model 12v VR6 engines.)
The procedure assumes that the transmission, clutch, flywheel, upper intake manifold and other small parts (coilpack, TB, airbox ...) have been removed from the car and that other steps necessary to remove these have also been performed (front end of car raised, battery disconnected, etc). The removal of these parts on a MKIV VR6 has been expertly documented by FaelinGL here - https://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2703042.
NOTE: If you are only replacing the upper tensioner bolt and/or upper guide rail, you do not need to remove the transmission, clutch, flywheel, etc. You can replace this part by only removing the upper intake manifold (and other associated parts) and then following steps 1 through 20 below. To replace the upper tensioner bolt, you do not need to remove anything. Simply follow steps 10, 48 and 52 to remove and install the bolt.
Please do the procedure at your own risk and be ready to make small adjustments while doing them. Also, please be observant while removing parts so that they go back together correctly. The procedure is fairly involved and extreme care should be taken while performing it. SEVERE engine damage WILL result if it is not performed correctly. Depending on how mechanically inclined you are, it should take somewhere between 2 and 8 hours to perform.
The tools needed to perform the procedures are:
1) 10mm, 13mm, 15mm and 27mm sockets or wrenches
2) 5mm and 6mm hex sockets or wrenches
3) spark plug socket
4) large flathead screwdriver
5) torque wrench(es) valid for the range of 89 in-lbs to 74 ft-lbs.
6) VW camshaft locking tool (#3268) or 1/8" metal or dense plastic plate
7) RTV sealant (ultra-grey, sensor-safe)
8) pieces of wood for removing and installing rear main oil seal
9) container and oil
The VW part #s for the parts replaced in this DIY are:
* 021 109 503 D - upper timing chain
* 071 109 513 - upper timing chain guide rail
* 021 109 509 E - upper timing chain tensioner rail
* 021 109 507 B - upper timing chain tensioner bolt (comes with copper crush washer N 013 827 1)
* 021 109 465 B - lower timing chain
* 021 109 469 - lower timing chain guide rail
* 021 109 467 - lower timing chain tensioner rail
* 068 198 171 - rear main oil seal
Note: The above part #s for the upper timing chain parts are for the newer style parts. For the part #s valid for engines with the older style upper timing chain parts, refer to James' 12V VR6 headgasket/timing chain/cooling system parts list.
All of the above parts were purchased from http://www.vwparts.com and http://www.germanautoparts.com. Some parts were cheaper from one source while others were cheaper from the other. All parts that I received from these two vendors were OEM.
Special thanks go to James (James 93SLC - luckily he had done this procedure before on his Corrado), Shashi (DJ-SBK) and Eric (BCDS2003T), for their help with the procedure.
Let me know if you have any questions.
As always, do this procedure at your own risk. I am not responsible for any mistakes in the below procedure or those that you make while performing it.

NEXT: Global Climate Change - Can Humanity Survive? [VIDEO]
Record breaking temperatures, acidic oceans, drought, the sea level rising to our doorsteps… the science is clear. Our planet faces enormous climate-related challenges, and we would face these even if all carbon production ended tomorrow. Sadly, nations throughout the world are barely beginning to curb their output of greenhouse gases. How will these changes in climate affect how we live our lives? Higher temperatures dry out farmland and decimate crops. Drought can lead to water rationing and brown front lawns. Increasingly volatile oceans could eat away at tropical reefs and fish populations. Coastal economic hubs like Los Angeles and Manhattan could be swallowed by advancing tides. Are we taking measures against climate change fast enough to preserve our planet and our lifestyle? Or do these drastic changes in our oceans and atmosphere also mean drastic changes to life as we know it?
In this installment of our series "NEXT: People | Science | Tomorrow," host Mat Kaplan and his guests examined the relationship between climate and our way of life, especially for coastal communities like Southern California.
