both an issue, yes, trying to enforce the rules or just trying to gain revenue? or is it both. >> we thing a little bit of both for one there is just not enough spots, in the city for the number of people that come in we are looking at over a million people come into the city both tourists workers and just not enough space for them to park. and also, the type of money that is being raised looks like the city is just trying to take in extra money for their expenses. >> so, but you also were saying too you think what needs to be done here is just an issue of more public parking more garages, or parking lots how do you do that with the space at a premium as it is in washingtondc what is triple-as thought. >> not necessarily only garages but maybe even more metered spots, it is not a problem with the metered spots the problem is there is not enough metered spotted people are quote unquote over staying their

welcome. >> here is the thing they have now started putting in those boxes where you can use your credit card and you can also use apes, mobile apes to try to pay can't people kind of do that, i guess, stop from staying over their limit if they can pay from a remote location where they are? isn't that kind of the purpose. >> that is helping out a lot i use that ap all the time when i'm in the the city so far so good i haven't gotten any tickets cross my fingers but that is helping out with people not getting as many tickets, so, that is something that is encouraging and people should try to take more advantage of. >> so are you anticipating the numbers we have right now, are that the revenue -- we don't know so far this past fiscal year but from what i was reading from what triple-a was putting together numbers, looks like dc is on track to top what they have gotten before they were 80 million.

>> 80 million last year 50 million may of this year like you said numbers have not been put out for this past fiscal year which ended september but we are looking to top that 80 million park the last fiscal year, the 70 million park was topped. what do you thing will solve the problem or anything here? if people -- do you think people are not going to come into the city? people still come into dc, you know, they have to come in to do things here what is to be done or can be done. >> it is just unfortunate for people that have to come into the city. you know, what we are suggesting, for motorists be on the lookout pay attention to signs if you have to park there is no way out of it, fees in garages are higher than you would want them to be. do the best you cannot to over stay your welcome at that meter. let's talk about the amount

of money the city is taking in. is there any concern by triple- a or any thing you looked at in your report that found that there was an issue as to where this money was going? this is a lot of money we are talking about. >> it is and it is more than cities the same size as the district are taking in. so, it is a concern we think the money is being used maybe not necessarily for public safety issues as we know cities across the nation are in economic tumbles, so, we feel the money is probably being used to help the city, more so than to help the residents. >> how do you think that is hurting people where do you think you said public safety what are things you thing need to be done or upgraded public safety wise for the city with that money. >> streets, more physical patrol maybe not just camera

patrol. crashes watching out for crashes, just general safety. public safety and transportation safety. >> all right obviously this is an issue a lot of people can sympathize with we have all got an ticket on our windshield a time or two. we see them raking in the money hopefully it will go the right way. kristin nevilles with triple-a thanks for coming in steve. 7:38 a.m. we will check out other top stories including more on the death of an american teenager in mexico. beth. >> reporter: everybody needs a little help some times, i am beth parker coming up how one area county is assisting first time home buyers making it possible for them to get in the door

how about ringing in the new year with great food and drink, this morning we are learning how to keep it simple but festive. >> strike that ford university falls church virginia, they have quite a spread out there looks like. >> we have a good selection of wines you are probably wondering why we are at strike that ford university a culinary school they teach their students all about the restaurant business and hospitality and all that good

stuff this man sitting next to me as over 25 years experience in the restaurant business and the perfect man to tell us all about the food and wine pairing. >> good morning. >> his name is brad chapel thanks for having us out here, people are really busy during the holidays running around christmas shopping but when by the years hits we can get bogged down and did you but when new years hits we can get bogged down and could neglect the drinks what should people thing about. >> probably the basic to this is think about your food first and keep it simple. just keep it simple if you do that you will be absolutely fine with your wine. >> how do you keep it simple. >> think about the food that you have and the weight of the food, think about oysters a little lighter on the pallet at the same time rich, pate heavier, and a lot heavier and rich at the same time and then

shrimp they can be light, heavy depending on the pile -- the way you are preparing them or whatever. so the first thing to remember probably is that you cannot go wrong serving bubbles with absolutely everything. >> that is good. >> it always works every time. >> okay. >> then here we have two wines, they are both made from the same grapes both shard they, i have a chablis extremely light crisp style and then a bit more of a richer style so maybe this with your oysters, the chablis with your oysters and then if you were doing beforehand with pate then with the shrimp we could look at system thing a little bit more sweetness here, a little bit of weight, body weight on it, pinot blanc would work extremely well. >> so for a fulmen you like

turkey, ham what wines go good with those. >> when you get to that point you need to start looking at is it a food that carries any real flavour with it or does it carry the flavour put on to it. turkey, very plain food sort of like pasta you can make turkey taste almost however you want it smoked or whatever with that all most anything will work is what i call like a roast chicken anything works with it makes the wine taste good every time on the other hand something like a ham that has a little bit of sweetness you might want to go back to the pinot blanc. if you have something that has some red on it red berries or something like that or a little sauce with it you might want to try a chianti classico or go somewhere even heavier if you wish. prime rib things like that,

pull out your bordeaux. >> if your guests come and don't like what you've got out bring your own bottle and that just adds to the whole stock. >> it does one of those things where you learn a little more about your friends what they like. >> it is new years have fun. >> exactly. >> ring in the new year. >> a no stress holiday. >> thank you brett very well done if you would like to find out more about all these tips log on to myfoxdc.com we have links to all that information. >> thank you very much. >> 7:56 a.m. we go from ringing in the new year to keeping up with your new years resolution we will do that with technology help new apes that will help you start 2012 hopefully on the right foot. >> forty installment of mission impossible now in theatersings kevin mccarthy attended a recent red carpet event and got to ask some technical questions of the films producer. this is right up kevin's alley. also he talked with the the

could block the strays of hormuz where the oil traffic flows there what does iran gain. >> what they gain is trying to present themselves to their people as friending off the evil west the west is trying to encrouch on their territory mainly the united states there are some difficult problems going on in iran right now because of the sanctions, the sanctions bungling down tighter people are beginning to feel the pinch iran, government, hard line government, has to do something to show it is defending its country its people and its honor. >> all right that is likely not going to fly thousand without some type of retaliation what is the u.s. response going to be. >> the big fleet is in the region, based in bahrain they are already in the area a couple hours ago this morning a couple assets from the fifth fleet moved into the area. supposedly there is iranian

the u.s. doesn't have any eyes and ears in iran on the ground but as we found out recently the u.s. has listening and watching capabilities from the sky and have it from the sea too. we shouldn't forget about that. there is just no real human presence on the ground to speak of, at least public presence intelligence agency speak of on the ground in iran there is interest it won't change, it will -- may grow but not likely to go the other way. >> all right as far as what is happening in the straights of hormuz, any real threat here do you see for the u.s. or just more grand standing? >> there is a threat if iran decides to do what most folks think they won't and that is go the extra step and decide to shop shipments some other way further up the straights, it is 34 miles wide, 15 million- barrels of oil go through a day, there is some possibility that they could engage in some kind of activity, that could

effect the oil supply and flow at some point but who knows what that would be, because tough to read the mind of iranian hard liners. >> always a pleasure happy new year. >> thank you. steve, jay jay thank you very much. 8:21 a.m. on thursday morning arrests made after a series of garage fires in montgomery county more on that when we come back. >> next half hour live with a look at fun, creative, tasty ways to entertain this new years eve stay with us we will be right back

and literally yanked him right into this car which is an intense and insane thing to see and blew up the car behind him and compiled that together tom did the stunt and everything in this film he is willing to and does do, almost every single thing, which is insane. >> he doesn't need to do them. >> he has no fear. >> makes it more believable. >> makes for a better movie but it is rare to find an actor willing to do this stuff. >> you have to see this movie in 70 millimetre i max there is other i max formats other theatres have which is not the true 70 millimetre film they are showing in the science museum, can you talk about tho mats. >> well, their aspect ratios are slightly different the method of getting them on the screen is different, the bottom

line is releases for big films are so huge the print runs are massive and there is no way to control, the goal is to try to get them in as many theaters as possible on opening day you can see a movie in a good teeter or a terrible theatre we wanted -- theatre or a terrible theatre we wanted a window where everyone saw this on a big screen with a bright sharp image and great sound we thought that would be unique in its own way >> does that kill you as a director knowing there may be a bad theatre showing your beautiful film? how does that feel? i only go to specific theaters to watch the screen, bright, vibrant how does that feel knowing there are bad theaters. >> we don't like it because when we judge all this stuff we turn our bulbs up right and calibrate our machinethat is the way we look at it and kind of kid ourselves thinking that is the way the public sees it. so i think if i were to say anything to movie lovers it
