Rain free Beijing opening ceremony guaranteed
- Tweet
- Share this
BEIJING (Reuters) - Beijing's meteorological bureau believes it can manipulate the weather to guarantee a dry opening ceremony at next year's Olympic Games, an official said on Wednesday.
Rainfall is often made heavier by cloud seeding in the drought-stricken Chinese capital but scientists have also been testing "artificial mitigation of rainfall" and found it can be effective in small areas.
"We are talking about limited areas, the area around the National Stadium," Zhang Qiang, head of the office of weather manipulation, told a news conference.
"We will provide a guarantee for the main Olympic stadium...we take various artificial measures so the rain falls before it arrives at the area."
The opening ceremony will be open to the elements after a decision was made two years ago to cut costs by not building a roof on the National Stadium, known as the Bird's Nest.
Wang Yubin, the chief engineer at the bureau, said studies of the weather patterns over the last 30 years indicated there was a 50 percent chance of some rainfall on the day of the opening ceremony, August 8 2008.
"The rain might have a negative impact on the opening ceremony," he said.
"We have already conducted tests of artificial mitigation of rains, we will take necessary preparations for rain mitigation for the opening and closing ceremonies.
"Our measures are quite effective in a limited area but over a large area we cannot reduce this rainfall to the minimum, to be frank."
Before Beijing hosts prestigious guests or events, there is often heavy rainfall which has the effect of clearing the city's heavily polluted air for a few days. Many locals credit the meteorological bureau for the rainstorms.
Wang Jianjie, deputy director of the bureau, conceded that there were positive side-effects in air quality but said the main motivation was to help with Beijing's water shortage.
"Rainfall is a good natural element to clear the air," she said. "We sometimes need certain conditions to be in place anyhow. If those conditions are there, we will try to increase the rainfall."
There was good news about Beijing's other weather blight, the sandstorms that whip across the city.
"In the past 50 years, there have been no sandstorms in August," said Guo Hu of the Beijing observatory. "We can be assured there will be no sandstorms during the Beijing Olympic Games."
The weather bureau has an intricate and detailed plan for forecasting the weather at every venue for the duration of the Games but its officials are not pinning all their hopes on science.
"The statistics show that heavy rain and extremely hot weather are unlikely during the Games," said Wang Yubin. "But we believe god will bless us and there will be no heavy rain."

Its not like my bench capper was all that slow or required that much effort, but after all I am an engineer and if something can be done with power (or in this case pneumatics) well then it's a must right? I'm also fortunate enough to have access to craploads of spare parts like air cylinders, scrap metal and the like, so that helps too. The air cylinder is a 2" bore spring-return cylinder with a 5/8-18 threaded rod end, which is perfect because a standard capper bell screwed right on. On the base I stuck on an "alignment" plate that I made out of lexan to make it easy to align the bottles each time. By the way I only use one size of bottle so I built the capper accordingly. Obviously it wouldn't work for very many other sizes. In the video its running at 100 psi.
fantastic. i love it. if i bottled id buy one from you. how much does bottle height matter?
I blame the media blamers
Thats awesome! Makes capping so much faster I bet?
The cylinder has a 2" stroke and I'd say I'm only using 1" of that with my bottles. The cylinder is 2" bore (NOT 3" like I first posted - fixed now) so at 100psi I'm getting 100 x pi x (1^2) = 314 pounds. This sounds like a lot but my bench capper has a lever that multplies force by 8 (10 / 1.25), so I can get the same force by exerting 39.25 lbs on the lever. I'm sure people do that all the time without breaking bottles. Just to be safe though I want to make sure my bottles are lined up correctly every time. I will probably run it at more like 80-90psi when bottling a whole batch.
very cool man. Nice and simple. the divot in the in the bottom for bottle alignment definitely seems to be key. Do you plan on pinned adapter plates for different bottles or just using one bottle style for simplicity? If I still bottled, I would copy this for sure.
Hmm... Seems like you *could* build it with an adjustable height and a preset pressure limit. That way you could simply slide the thing up or down for different bottle heights and the auto pressure limit would help eliminate broken glass... Dont' ask me how to do this.
Fortunately for me I have only ever collected one style & size of bottle. Its the real common 9 high long-neck with the recessed area for the label. Lots of brewing cos use them (RedHook, Victory, FlyingDog, etc.) even the Costco brand. Theres another bottle thats real similar with smooth sides (no recessed area) but for some reason I never saved those (Bells for example). They would probably work too. Anyways since I had no reason to make it adjustable, I didnt. I probably could have, but it would have gotten more complicated and/or less durable. As far as limiting the pressure, I do that with the regulator on my compressor. I'm looking forward to doing a whole batch with it this weekend.
Very, very cool. I may have to add one of these to the "someday projects" list.

RoTG: Shift Deleted scene (part 1)
Hilary and Mori were seen at a BBQ, hoping to make some friends with other people that lived in the cabins. "I'm super, how've you been Jake?" Mori asked, smiling a bit. "Never better, thank God for the weekend! Hey everyone, I'd like you to meet the new people, Hilary, Mori and their daughter. Hilary, Mori, this is beth, she runs and owns a restaurant!" Jake said, happily introducing the blonde haired woman. "A restaurant owner, that sounds intriguing." Hilary said, sounding really interested. "Well it can be quiet a challenge, but I gotta admit, I eat it for breakfast! And what do you do, Hilary?" Hilary proudly smiled, holding her baby Marceline, "I'm a home maker.", saying it with pride, but Beth looked at her like she was insane. "Well, me and Mori only have one child, but she can be quiet demanding, can't you little flower?" she asked Marceline, kissing her head, the baby puking on her. Beth looked disgusted as she saw this, "But motherhood is so much more demanding.." Hilary added, hearing Beth say, "That's nice.." walking far away, Mori holding onto Hilary as a way of reassuring her that she was the best mother.
As Mori was helping cutting steaks, Hilary talked with other mother's, who talked about all sorts of things from how long it took to give birth to their children to the cute things they do, "Hahaha, throw away my prime years, trailing after a bunch of snotty kids? No thank you! Hello?! Hello I wanna do something with my life!" Beth yelled, making Hilary pissed. Hilary was a shifter fighter before motherhood and she loved being a mother, Mori in return, loved being a father to a beautiful girl like Marceline. "Wait a minute!" Hilary yelled, making everyone stop talking, Mori in particular looking at her. "You consider raising a family nothing?" she asked Beth, confused by what she heard. "Well, I guess it's more substantial for untalented women like yourself." Beth replied, confident in her answer. "What's more important? A job saving lives, is that important?? What about risking my life??? What about risking my life on a daily on a daily basis, fighting against creatures that shape shift so that people like you can sleep in safety in security, would you consider that job important?????" she asked Beth, who couldn't believe how mad Hilary was. "Uh...Yes, I would...I would..." Beth said. "Well that's the job I gave up for my new job: Raising a family and nobody is gonna tell me it's any less important!" she replied, glaring at her. "I'm so sorry, I meant no offense...What on earth did you used to do?" Beth asked, everyone noticing Hilary's shocked expression, she realized she said too much.

Abstract: Implementation of the Common Core standards is likely to represent substantial additional expense for most states. While a handful of states have begun to analyze these costs, most states have signed on to the initiative without a thorough, public vetting of the costs and benefits. In particular, there has been very little attention to the potential technology infrastructure costs that currently cash-strapped districts may face in order to implement the Common Core assessments within a reasonable testing window.

There are some very strange remedies mentioned online for poison ivy. I've heard everything from bleach and water to tabasco sauce. Please don't believe everything you hear. These things will not make your poison ivy rash better, they will make it worse. Some remedies recommended by random people on forums and blogs are not safe and could put your health in danger.
It's a good idea to see a doctor and follow his or her recommendation. Some basic natural remedies like potatoes and oatmeal are okay, but beware of remedies involving strange and harsh ingredients.

You only get to pick ONE OF THESE that you would like to see happen during the next 6 to 12 months - Even if it were not possible ....
Gas prices and it's not very close. Anyone who votes for something sports related is a ******* dimwit.
Gas Price for sure, I'm driving to Disney this summer and that would be a huge help. Plus you didn't have "Steelers win the Superbowl" as an option LOL!!!
A presidential candid who can effectively run the country (one who could avoid any type of war, recession, improve education, protect the American people...). I think this would also help with the cost of gas.
Yeah, if you can get a candidate who won't actually set the country back 20 years, gas prices should go down. So I will vote that as the most important.
Well, 22 percent wouldn't mind paying extra at the pump as long as the Pats win it all. After two heartbreaking years, I'd consider it. But I'm hoping they can win it this year without having to sacrifice my gas.

Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president G. Parameshwara on Monday met D.K. Shivakumar, who has been elected for the sixth time from Kanakapura Assembly Constituency, in an effort to convince him to take oath.
Mr. Shivakumar is the only MLA who is yet to take oath, which is attributed to his dissatisfaction over denial of ministership.
Mr. Parameshwara, who had a lengthy discussion with Mr. Shivakumar at the latter's residence, is learnt to have informed him (Mr Shivakumar) that the party high command was aware of his seniority and his value as a party worker.
However, later, Mr. Parameshwara told reporters that Mr. Shivakumar had not taken oath as an MLA because he was "tied up with personal work." He said that there was "nothing more to it and the Opposition parties should not make it into an issue unnecessarily."
Terming the visit as a courtesy call, the KPCC chief said: "Mr. Shivakumar has never expressed displeasure over being denied a berth in the ministry. But scores of people from his constituency want him to become Minister to fulfil their expectations. The high command is aware of this and an appropriate decision will be taken at the right time."
Mr. Shivakumar said that the fact that he was denied a berth and his not taking oath as an MLA were not connected. "The voters of Kanakapura Assembly Constituency have elected me with a margin of 31,000 votes. They had taken "harake" (vow) in several temples for my victory and I was busy visiting places of worship to fulfil their harake. I am waiting for the right time to take oath," he added.
Party sources, however, said the visit was more than a courtesy call. "It was to avoid further embarrassment to the party, whose priority is to focus on the Lok Sabha polls. It is likely that all disgruntled elements (there are more than 20 MLAs aspiring to become Ministers) will team up after the ongoing legislature session ends. The high command has directed the KPCC chief to ensure that there are no problems within the party in the run up to the Lok Sabha polls," the sources added.

i transferred from primary to secondary 2 days ago, sampled, seems like it is on its way... my question is since transferring, there has been very little airlock action, almost none, is this normal? the recipe says to keep it in the secondary for 5-7 days. should i bottle at 5, or 7, or even sooner, maybe even later? any advise?
There isn't supposed to be significant release of CO2 when the beer is in the secondary. The beer shouldn't go into the secondary until primary fermentation (converting simple sugars into alcohol and CO2) is nearly done. There can be small amounts of CO2 still produced after transferring, and the act of transferring often knocks CO2 out of solution and into the air, so some bubbles are ok. But for the most part there shouldn't be any bubbles.
If you need me, I'll be out behind the woodshed pounding Grolsches. -------------------- Primary: Maris Otter/EKG SMaSH Bottle: Deizbeutzervet Dunkelweizen Keg: Independence Day Strawberry Blonde Keg: Munich/Mt. Hood SMaSH
that is good to hear. when i transferred, the primary was bubbling maybe once every few mins. so i should continue to follow the recipe and bottle in 5-7 days? should i wait till it gets good and translucent?
You do not need a secondary for ale. It needs to condition on the yeast for 2 to 3 weeks then keg or bottle.
Cheers, WBC Fermentor 1: Bill's House Ale II, Fermentor 2: German Helles, Fermentor 3: Bill's Schworzbier (Black Bier)Tap 1: Bill's House Ale II, Tap 2: German Hefewizen, Tap 3: Nut Brown AleFuture Brews: Stone IPA Clone, Blonde Ale, Budvar Clone, Newcastle CloneNew toy: Blichmann 27 gallon fermentorIf you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment
Whether your beer is ready to bottle in 5 days depends on whether it was finished. Was it? How long was it in the primary and what is the FG?
it was in the primary for nine days and was finished, i beleive(this is my first batch). og 1.055, fg 1.010. the recipe did recommend use of a secondary.
There you go! It can be bottled at five days OR you can leave it for a couple weeks and let it clear. The second choice is the best BUT since it's your first batch, it will be the harder choice.
Nurmey's right... Telling someone making their first batch that they should wait longer before they bottle because it'll make better beer is like telling a teenager they should wait to lose their virginity. Sure, it's the best advice. The person getting the advice may even know it's right. But I know I counted the days until I could bottle and the days until I could open the first one in the shortest amount of time possible. So... if you can... do as we say, not as we did. But if you can't, then do it next time.
"Science + beer = good!" -Adam Savage
one more thing.... the color. when transferring, i couldnt help but notice the color was a lot more amber than pale ales i am used to drinking. will it lighten up? just a question, i am not too concerned, this being my first brew, i'd drink it if it was purple.
The red ale i just finished, recomended a secondary also. So I did, and it really cleared it up.

Staff is very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was nice and the location is within walking distance to many attractions. Everything was very clean. Very early in the morning or late in the night, there wasn't hot water for the shower, so I had to ask them to turn on the gas hot water heater.

Israel's Vatican envoy backs off WWII pope praise
VATICAN CITY – Israel's ambassador to the Vatican on Sunday backed off his praise of Pope Pius XII, the World War II-era pope blamed by some Jews and historians for having failed to speak out enough against the Holocaust.
Ambassador Mordechai Lewy said in a statement that his personal judgment about the role of Pius, the Vatican and Catholic Church during the war had been "premature" since the issue is still being researched.
Lewy made headlines last week when he praised Pius and the Catholic Church in general for having given refuge to Roman Jews during the Nazi occupation of the Italian capital. The Vatican newspaper ran his speech on the front page, giving the brief but significant remarks high visibility.
But some Jewish groups balked, saying Lewy's comments were morally wrong, historically inaccurate and hurtful to Holocaust survivors.
Pope Benedict XVI is keen to see Pius beatified, the first step to sainthood, and a concerted campaign is under way among Pius' supporters to correct what they say has been an unfair and incorrect judgment passed on Pius....

Blake Wheeler: Team's Leading Scorer Needs Help Up Front.
Even if you haven't watched a Winnipeg Jets game this season, all you need to do is look at the numbers to know what this team needs.
At the All-Star break, the Jets are 22nd overall in goals scored at 2.45 per game. The team's leading scorer, Blake Wheeler, has nine goals and 33 points. He is 81st in scoring in the NHL. The team's leading goal scorer, Evander Kane, has 18 and is tied for 28th in the NHL but was in the midst of a 10-game goal scoring drought when he suffered a concussion (Last Friday? No one is quite sure) and was lost indefinitely.
He Puzzled And He Puzzed

How many times have you been watching your team carry a lead, only to have the commentators announce that the opposing team has scored most of their goals in a later period? Listen, I get it; the talking heads on TV have to maintain a certain level of suspense. They can't very well say "It's looking pretty unlikely that this game takes a turn for the interesting." And although I love mythbusting when it comes to hockey, I will concede that sometimes narratives are more fun to build than reasonable arguments.
But, as any of you who are familiar with my work will already know full well, I'm never content to accept in-game narratives without some kind of verification.
So what about teams that score more goals in the third period than any other? Are they successful? What about those teams that score most often early in the first? I took a look at 6 seasons' worth of data to check.
Is Scott Gomez hockey's most underrated? (Yes)

January 26 2012 12:17PM
Poor Scott Gomez. From the website which asks the rhetorical question "Did Gomez score" to players naming him the 3rd most overrated player in hockey, it seems like there are a lot of hockey fans, players and media who don't appreciate his talent.
Everybody Is Angry About the All-Star Snub Except the GM

Kevin Cheveldayoff and his Jets. There is an all-star replacement in this bunch somewhere.
Winnipeg Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff is a cool dude. He was cool when he played for the Brandon Wheat Kings and he was cool when he worked in the American Hockey League.
That's why it wasn't surprising when he appeared on TSN Jets TV with Dennis Beyak earlier this week and was extremely cool when it came to the NHL and the All-Star Game and a replacement for Dustin Byfuglien.
Now, on the one hand, you can say Cheveldayoff would never criticize the NHL in public. He is indeed, very careful about what he says when other people are listening. However, the Jets GM didn't even hint that he was upset by the fact that the NHL refused to replace the injured Byfuglien on the all-star roster with another Jets player.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Home Power is a bi-monthly American magazine. It is based in Ashland, Oregon. Circulation is greater than 100,000.[1]
Published since 1987, Home Power has promoted a goal of reducing the use of fossil fuels for electricity generation by replacing fossil fuel generation capacity with currently available renewable energy alternatives. Solar, wind, and hydro systems information is covered at a homeowner's do-it-yourself level with expert advice and examples. Home Power also promotes and presents information on energy efficient building and design practices. Clean transportation information is also featured.
Richard and Karen Perez started Home Power in 1987. From the start the magazine itself has been published with the use of alternative energy resources. Its publishers live the lifestyle they espouse.[1] Today, Home Power is a recognized leading provider of detailed information for renewable energy installation. Its authors and editors are cited in other industry publications and blogs.[2][3]
At its founding, Home Power focused on off-grid systems and Do-It-Yourself (DIY) information for homeowners. Focusing on "home scale" renewable systems, the magazine will not typically cover utility scale renewable energy issues such as large wind farms or utility scale solar installations. More recently, the magazine has recognized the up-tick in interest in, and expansion of, the grid-tied solar electric systems market for homeowners. Today the magazine covers both DIY systems and professionally installed grid-tied systems on its web site and print editions and in its articles, editorials and advertising.[4]
A controversial topic Home Power was once in support of (and coined the term for)[5] is "Guerrilla Solar", (see Solar Guerrilla) or solar power installations by homeowners that are grid tied which are not permitted by the utilities they are tied to.[6] This non-inspected practice has fallen out of favor given the current cooperation of utilities with homeowners wishing to install solar, and states enactment of net-metering regulations. Home Power still covers the topic in its coverage of micro-inverters and small systems that can safely and legally be tied to the grid.
Home Power also has a web presence. The web site complements the print edition with article archives which are often referred to in current issues.
To fill the growing need for reliable information for renewable energy systems professionals Home Power has also come out with a free trade magazine: SolarPro.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Facebook says unspecified site issues caused the social-networking site to be slow or unavailable for some of its 500 million users.
Facebook spokeswoman Kathleen Loughlin said just 10:00 p.m. Tuesday the company was working to resolve the problem. While the malfunction was going on the phrase "Facebook Isnt Working" was one of the top trending topics on another social-networking site, Twitter.
Facebook also experienced a technical glitch on September 23rd that blocked or slowed access for several hours. The online hangout site has called that outage the worst it's had in more than four years.

Mischa Barton (Marissa Cooper)Mischa Barton was born in foggy London but took "The O.C." by storm, playing troubled California girl Marissa Cooper. Her character was eventually killed off in a car accident.
Despite a real-life DUI arrest in 2007 and a stint at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
psych ward, she kept pushing her career forward.
This year, Barton will star in two horror films, notably "Resurrection," admitting to
TWELV magazine, "I literally became obsessed with that genre." Off-screen she sells her

Not at all: "I'm so relieved it's not how it was. … It was just over the top."

"Globe Playing Cards" patented on Oct. 6, 1874 by I. N. Richardson
An historic American advertising deck for the C. A. Edgarton Mfg Company, manufacturers of the President Suspender (known as "braces" in England) depicting U.S. Presidents and First Ladies on the courts.
Elaborate court cards on a deck by Charles Bartlet, Philadelphia, (who was in fact Samuel Hart) c.1845-60. The pip cards are double-ended. The date may be somewhere between c.1845-65.
Ibero-American Deck, designed by L. Palao, 1929
From Empresses to King Cats and One-Eyed Jacks, every game is a pageant of unforgettable cats, each with a story to tell...
Pack of Dogs. Every card tells a story...
Bag of Bones playing cards, from a series of four decks designed by John Littleboy, 2008.
Kem washable plastic playing cards proved to be very durable and even early examples are usually in near perfect condition. The aces and jokers present minor variations over the years, but their 'Spanish' version is quite unusual.
The Western Playing Card Company was formed in 1927. The exact history and origins are not clear.
Facsimile edition of Andrew Dougherty's Illuminated deck, c.1865, published by U.S. Games Systems, Inc., and described as 'Civil War Illuminated Poker Deck'

Vauxhall Zafira (2005 - )
Last updated 9 February 2015
Compact yet can house seven people. Rearmost seats fold into floor. More versatile mid-row seating than previous model. Excellent diesel auto.
Spare wheel is vulnerable to theft. Some build quality concerns. Potential catastrophes with 1.9 diesel engine.
Updated 30 September 2014
Report of gearbox bearing whine on 35ki mile 2011 Zafira 1.7 CDTI 6-speed manual. Apparently common.
This test is to answer an often-asked question. The World isn't exactly overflowing with 7-seater diesel automatics. So is the new Zafira diesel auto any good?
It's up against the Touran DSG, the forthcoming new Sharan DSG, the forthcoming new Galaxy 1.8 diesel automatic, the last of the old Shalambra diesel automatics. And that's about it.

Elsevier's Journal of Diabetes and its Complications Announces New Editorial Team and Expansion
Global diabetes epidemic increases demand for high-quality research publications
Oxford, April 2, 2012 – Elsevier's Journal of Diabetes and its Complications is pleased to announce the appointment of a high-profile senior editorial team who will oversee a significant increase in the number of quality papers published in 2012. The increasing prevalence and impact of diabetes worldwide means that means that the journal has to grow in quality and size to meet the demands of clinicians at the forefront of the epidemic.
The new Editor-in-Chief is Vivian A. Fonseca, MD, FRCP, Professor of Medicine, Tullis–Tulane Alumni Chair in Diabetes, and Chief of the Section of Endocrinology at Tulane University Medical Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. Professor Fonseca is also President for Science and Medicine at the American Diabetes Association.
On his new appointment, Professor Fonseca commented, "We are facing a major international public health crisis with the increase in diabetes. Dissemination of high-quality research will help stem this epidemic. I am delighted to have the opportunity to play a significant role in this aspect as journal editor. Our aim is to publish high-quality articles covering all aspects of diabetes, with an emphasis on translating research into clinical practice."
Drs. Stefano Del Prato (Pisa, Italy) and Steven Kahn (Seattle, USA) have joined the journal as Associate Editors. Drs. Del Prato and Kahn are internationally recognized figures in the diabetes community with research interests spanning basic science through to clinical.
Andrew Miller, Executive Publisher of Journal of Diabetes and its Complications, stated, "Elsevier is delighted to appoint a senior editorial team of such experience and caliber. Diabetes is a huge and growing challenge and the journal is expanding to address the needs of researchers and clinicians worldwide."

Keep an eye on your stuff, particularly when walking around. When you get in at the airport, go upstairs to the departure area to get taxis that just dropped off passengers; the taxis who wait for new arrivals overcharge.
New traditional Filipino cuisine restaurant in Quezon City, near the Sulu Hotel. It's called Adarna, and they have very good food. Highly recommended.
Best bargain shopping, if you're up for a little adventure and heat, is in Divisoria. Take the MRT north to Quezon Avenue, then hop on a jeepney to Divisoria. It's a district of stalls and bargain shopping.
Bring lots of water. Be polite, but careful. Although there are a lot of nice people in Manila (and the Philippines in general), there are always a few jerks who try to take advantage of travelers, especially if you obviously don't look Filipino.

MOSCOW (AP) - Russia's arms export agency says Moscow is supplying Iran with defensive weapons, but will not say whether the shipments include sophisticated long-range S-300 missiles.
The Interfax news agency later quoted an unidentified Russian military official as saying the missiles will be delivered to Iran soon from Russian Defense Ministry warehouses. The Russian Defense Ministry could not be reached for comment.
The United States and Israel both oppose having S-300s in the hands of the Iranians. Washington and Israel fear Iran would use the missiles to protect its first nuclear power plant now under construction by Russian contractors. That would make any potential military strike on the plant much more difficult.

Downstairs neighbors from hell!?
I need some advice, probably of the legal variety, because I feel that all other types have been exhausted already.
The summary, because I know that I'm going to end up with a novel, is this: we've been in a new apartment for just over a week, and unfortunately have been cursed with the neighbors from hell below us. They're noisy, rude, up until all hours of the night, unapproachable, and have already complained about US three times. We're at our wit's end and ready to move, but we cannot get our security deposit back if we break our lease before it's up... which is in 12 months. I need to know what our options are, if any.
Here's the gist: we live upstairs, they live right below us. Same floor plan. It's a four family building, and the landlords seemed really nice and up to date on their buildings when we signed our lease. It's a nice building and nice apartments, and they run thorough background checks on all tenants and didn't seem like they tolerate any funny business. I figured this would be a good, quiet place for my fianc�, our three year old, and myself (who's 8 months pregnant).
I want to start out by saying I've lived in several apartments in my life, some upstairs and some downstairs. I know how up-the-wall annoying footstep noise on your ceiling can be, and the littlest sounds can be thunderous downstairs, so we came into this with the mindset that we were going to try to avoid the problem before it even became an issue for anyone. We bought lots of rugs and placed them all over our apartment to help muffle our footsteps, especially on the tiled rooms. We don't let anyone wear shoes, even on the carpet. Our three year old is very active, but she already knows there is no running or jumping allowed at all inside. She is in bed by 8:30 every night and I'm soon to follow (I'm pretty exhausted at this point in my pregnancy), so there's no walking around late at night other than when my fianc� gets home from work at 1or 2am, but he takes his shoes off immediately and makes sure he walks very lightly to bed. I'm always making sure that the TV is at the minimal level also, and if music or lots of bass comes on during a movie, I turn it down right away. Basically, I understand that being ground level sucks in apartment living, and we're really making an effort to not be obnoxious.
HOW. EVER. These people below us are essentially the definition of neighbors from hell. They are noisy, inconsiderate, up at all hours of the night, and always have people coming in and out of the building. There are always at least four cars in their driveway for supposedly one adult living there, and usually the people who come and go park in front of our garage. I had to knock on their door at 6am last week because someone's car was behind mine that was parked in our garage; they were very upset to be woken up so early, but that's unacceptable and I wasn't about to be late to work because they can't stay in their own driveway. They also have a tiny but impossibly loud dog who barks literally non-stop when they leave (which is often all day until 10 or 11pm). We noticed that the second day we were here, and it's a consistent problem. It's not an issue that they're simply unaware of, either; I hear them arguing about the dog barking all the time when they get home. My fianc� went to talk to them about it last week. He was polite and suggested that they let us let their dog out every once in a while when it won't stop barking and they've been gone all day; their response: "It's a dog. Dogs bark. What do you want us to do, kill it?" That was the end of that. The thing is, even when they're home, they're just as noisy. They wait until 11pm to do their vacuuming and laundry, and it's incredibly loud up here. I understand that they might work all day and only get the chance to clean at night, but they're completely unwilling to compromise on limiting the late night noise to a few days a week. They have young children, it's not like they don't know what it's like having little ones that need to be in bed with a relatively peaceful background at a decent hour. I would NEVER vacuum past 9pm, and definitely wouldn't do laundry late either. I can only imagine what the vibrations would be like late at night. Yet they have no issue running their washer and dryer at all hours, even though it literally vibrates our entire floor and furniture. They slam their doors and have their TV up so loud we can feel the vibrations up here. Their kids also jump constantly. I understand that kids are kids and you can't always control them, but if I'm making the effort to keep my toddler at bay, shouldn't they have the same common courtesy? Another thing that I know they're not supposed to be doing is having a man living in the unit. When we signed our lease, our landlords let us know who lived in the other two units (one is currently vacant). They didn't tell us names, of course, but just a general "one adult two children" or "two adults" so we had an idea how many people to be expecting in and out of the building. The only people supposed to be living in the downstairs unit is the mother and her two children; however, a man stays there with them off and on, and it's not a relative who needs a place to stay or something like that... it's her boyfriend(we've, unfortunately, had the displeasure of hearing them having sex.) The man is the loudest of them all and yells at the kids constantly. He swears every other word when he speaks and slams doors all the time. I don't feel comfortable with him being in the building, because I know he's violent. I hear the arguments and blow-ups word for word through the floor. Technically, they could be evicted for him being here because he's not on their lease. But do I really want to be THAT person who reports that?
Now, what really irritates me is the fact that they've already complained to the landlords twice about us and called the police once. The first instance was that we needed to stop the "crazy running on the floors," and I can't help but think maybe they're just exaggerating that to the landlords, because we never have anyone running on the floor in our apartment. The second instance, which I'm STILL trying to wrap my mind around, was the complaint that we need to "stop our dog from barking so much." WE DON'T EVEN OWN A DOG! And our landlords know that, because we would've had to have put it in our lease if we had a pet! I reminded the landlord of that on the phone when he called about the complaint, and he immediately apologized and said it must have been a mix up. Yeah, mix up my butt. I'm beginning to feel like we just have vindictive neighbors now after my fianc� tried to talk to them about their dog constantly barking. The third instance, when the police showed up, went something like this: fianc� and I sitting on the couch at 9pm on his night off, watching a rented movie. Police knock on the door. We open the door, they look around and say that they've been called for a noise complaint, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with our TV noise level. Cops apologize for disturbing us and leave.
It's been just a week and we already want to move. This noise level from them isn't tolerable, and with a newborn here in about a month, I cannot even imagine trying to get him to sleep with the dog and their noise. But, like I said at the beginning of this novel, we don't get our security deposit back if we move out sooner than our lease is up. Are there any options whatsoever, or is that always final? I don't want to run to the landlords, because we will just seem like we're retaliating since they already complained twice about us. The cops won't be much help, either. Any experiences with unruly neighbors and how to deal with it? I'm getting pretty desperate here, unfortunately.
If there is a vacant unit, ask the landlords if you can move into that. That would be the simplest thing to do.
Ask the landlord to come over for a meeting. Show them the rugs, explain everything you do to keep your daughter quiet.
Tell them that the constant complaints and police harassment are not acceptable. Ask the landlords what they are going to do to make the downstairs neighbors quit bothering you.
Start complaining about the downstairs neighbors. For a week or two, document everything they do that is in violation of the lease, and all their noise. Record the dog barking, take pictures of the cars blocking you in.
I can't believe the landlords didn't know about the people downstairs. They have a choice--keep the unpleasant people down stairs and have people move out of the upstairs unit as quickly as possible, or deal with the downstairs people and have a quiet building.
Also, check with the police to see if there is any consequence for the downstairs people if they continue to make false claims against you.
Camlan gave some good advice. Also, your lease may have some wording about being able to enjoy the unit. And the lease may also have wording about limiting noise. Read through it and see what you find. You may need to retain the services of an attorney to read through the lease to find an "out" for the situation.
The noisy/rude tenants will not change. It's very likely that the previous tenants in your unit left because of them. For some landlords, it's easier to lose a good tenant than to confront and give an ultimatum to a bad tenant. Every time a tenant leaves and forfeits a deposit, the landlord often wins as long as the unit can be quickly re-rented. Good tenants leave units in good condition.
Also, visit the Neighbors From Hell Forum run by Bob Borzotta: www.borzotta.com. Bob wrote a book about NsFH and has been a consultant on 20/20 and other magazine type shows. The folks who post on that forum have been in your shoes and have good advice.
Call the police if you need to file a harassment report, photograph and document everything, call the property management company if there is one. The LL was well aware of those low life's downstairs. Talk to a lawyer to find out how you can break the lease under false misrepresentation. The LL is accountable and you should not be at risk in a situation that could worsen into aggression. Protect your safety. Photograph the lowlifes every time they harass you. Take action.

My name is Erin and for those that don't know me I just lost my little girl Sarah on the 24th. It was kind of expected as we were diagnosed with Trisomy 18 around 18 weeks into the pregnancy.
Having children seems to be a roller coaster ride for us. I've had multiple m/c and our first daughter Emily was born as a VATER/VACTREL child. She has heart, kidney and spine issues. She had her first open heart surgery at 8 days old. Since then she's had multiple cath procedures and just recently had her 2nd heart surgery. I'm happy to say she's doing really well right now. For that I'm very thankful.
As far as Sarah - she was a beautiful soul. As much as I know she's in a much better place and that she gave us 2 days with her - which is more than most people with this diagnosis get - I'm still missing her.
I know some of this is grief but I'm really hoping that some of this is hormones. It seems that everytime I get time alone all I do is start crying. Heck - I couldn't even call my good friend because I knew I'd sit and cry and thus make him uncomfortable.
Em is 3 and I've explained to the best of my ability to her about Sarah going to Jesus. Just not sue how much she's getting.
I just hope I can get through this next weekend. That's when we truly say goodbye.
I am so sorry for your loss and all that you have been through. I am glad you had some time with yoru daughter to cherish forever.
Kids are smart and know what is going on and I think it is good that you are explaining things to her in simple terms. They grieve just like us, but at their own level.
Sending hugs and prayers.
I am so sorry to hear about Sarah. I am glad you got those two precious days with her. I know exactly what you mean about wanting to cry all the time. I know it is a cliche but time does help.
We are all here to help where possible.
((((HUGS))) I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers this weekend. I'm so very sorry for your loss but so very grateful you were able to have that time together as I know that is truly cherished moments.
I do believe that the pregnancy hormones play a role in amplifying the grief process. Also natural is the very real grief journey you are under along with it being a traumatic time both during your pregnancy and of course following your loss. That is a tremendous amount for your body, mind, and spirit to heal through. At your stage - granting yourself permission to cry may be more what is needed vs. trying to "control" your emotions... as many times it is impossible to do so.
Right now, the best advice I have is to do what you can to take care of yourself physically as you are still in the postpartum stage. Also, focus on short term goals... for example as you are on getting through this weekend. Keep talking and sharing as much as you need to -- and know it is ok to be silent at times if that brings you some comfort. Em will certainly provide you with distraction as needed but you can also reach out and include her in finding ways to remember Sarah's life. Think of this as a journey, with no clear timetable and no right /wrong ways to travel. You will find your personal path towards healing in time.
Please do let us know how you are when you can.
Well I made it through visitation last night without too many tears. But today is going to be tough, it's the day we bury her. I'm trying to keep calm for Em, but I've told her it's going to be a sad day. How much she gets - I don't know. But I've asked that the service be a celebration rather than sad.. we'll see how it goes.
I still have my moments of crying.. but keeping busy is helping a little and definitely being home has helped.
Hugs hon. I hope that today goes as well as it can. That you can celebrate Sarah's beautiful life and the joy she brought to your lives.
Hi Erin,
I'm sorry for the loss of your daughter Sarah. My son was 2.5 when we lost his brother and we found this book helpful in explaining it in terms he could understand.
I hope you find some comfort.
It was a beautiful graveyard service. Small and intimate. Em being Em was running all over, until I hit a point where I started crying and then she calmed down and was comforting me. I didn't think she really got it until we were leaving she called out twice "bye Sarah".
So now life goes on...and that's a good thing. I still have to recover from my surgery and get us back on the path of being a family again. Now that I have time off from work I'm going to concentrate on my family and enjoy the time I have with them.

Configuring pppd in Linux, Part II
The next step is to test whether the connection actually works. The best way to see if the link is up is to run ifconfig (see Listing 1). This command shows you the active kernel network interfaces. In my case, I have lo, the standard loopback interface I will use if I want to connect to myself, and ppp0, which is the modem PPP interface.
Listing 1. The Result of My ifconfig Command
To see if you actually are routing to the Internet, you can run the traceroute command, followed by any IP address. For now you should use the -n option in order to disable the DNS name resolution (that hasn't been configured yet). For example:
traceroute -n 22.214.171.124 traceroute to 22.214.171.124 (188.8.131.52), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets 1 22.214.171.124 (18.104.22.168) 181.518 ms 139.473 ms 149.822 ms 2 18.104.22.168 (184.108.40.206) 129.540 ms 139.739 ms 139.821 ms
19 22.214.171.124 (18.104.22.168) 479.696 ms 479.653 ms * 20 188.8.131.52 (220.127.116.11) 489.711 ms 479.644 ms 479.874 msThe IP 220.127.116.11 is the server for www.linux.org. The program traceroute will tell you about the path followed by the packets you send to the Internet. Now, you should make sure that you tell your system the IP of your DNS, through the file /etc/resolv.conf. My resolv.conf file looks like this:
nameserver 220.127.116.11 nameserver 184.108.40.206Some ISPs don't provide a DNS server address, as your computer is given one once the PPP handshake is completed. If that is the case, you simply can disconnect and reconnect using the usepeerdns option when you run pppd:
pppd /dev/modem 38400 modem lock
connect /etc/ppp/chat-connect
user your_username_here defaultroute usepeerdns
Now, you can try to see if your DNS is working, using, for example,
the Telnet program. The Telnet program is only an excuse to see if
the system was able to translate the name
www.linux.org into an IP
telnet www.linux.org 80 Trying 184.108.40.206... Connected to www.linux.org. Escape character is '^]'.It worked! Now, you can start your browser (Netscape, Mozilla, Opera, Galeon, Lynx, etc.) and browse the Net as you like.
By now, everything should work well; the internet connection is up, and you can connect to the Internet whenever you want. There is, of course, room for improvement. The first thing to do would be to increase the speed of the serial port and see if everything still works. To do that, just substitute 38400 with 115200 in the pppd command line.
Also, after a couple of weeks you probably will start noticing that there is a high number of parameters that have to be typed for the command pppd. In fact, every time you want to connect you have to type:
pppd /dev/modem 115200 modem lock
connect /etc/ppp/chat-connect
user your_username_here defaultroute
The good news is that you can, of course, put all those parameters in a configuration file, /etc/ppp/options. So, in your case, the options file would look like this:
/dev/modem 115200 modem lock connect /etc/ppp/chat-connect user defaultrouteIn this file the order of the parameters really doesn't matter. From this point on, you will be able to connect to the Internet simply by typing the command pppd. What happens if you have several providers you might want to call? In this case, you can create several options files and then place them in /etc/ppp/peers. The output below shows what my peers directory looks like:
ls -l /etc/ppp/peers total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 197 Aug 4 15:41 main_net -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 189 Mar 11 2000 primusMy file /etc/ppp/options is empty; when I run pppd, I always run:
pppd call main_netThis way, the file /etc/ppp/peers/main_net will be used as well as my /etc/ppp/options file (which happens to be empty). If my main provider (Main Net) is down for some reason, I still can use some of my time-limited account with Primus.
Now, the best thing you can do is to read the man page for pppd (just type man pppd) and see if any of the esoteric options can somehow improve your connection. In Listing 2 you will find a very rich options file written by my friend and Linux guru Pancrazio De Mauro. Can you do better than that?

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Daniel Nardiello scored a hat-trick as Bury beat CD Marino 7-1 in a pre-season friendly in Tenerife.
Nardiello's treble came after strike partner Ryan Lowe re-opened his Shakers account with his first goal since returning to the club for a second spell this summer.
Lowe, whose strike came from the penalty spot, set up two of Nardiello's goals before the pair were subbed early in the second half.
Bury physio Tom Walsh showed the professionals how it is done with two goals of his own before Tom Soares scored the seventh for David Flitcroft's side.
CD Marino did manage a late consolation after a slip from new goalkeeper Shwan Jalal in the penalty box.
