what happens to ops center if I remove the media server software on A Windows 2008 client that has both ops center and media server software installed ?
Hello Everyone,
I've got a server dedicated to Ops center. The thing is that for some reason it's got the media server software installed on it and I want to get ride of it.
My concern is that the media server removal might affect ops center somehow, I know both software products are sepparated but I don't know what happens if I remove the media server software from the ops center server.
I'm running Netbackup 7.0.1 on the master server and Netbackup 6.5.6 on the Media server which is not being used as a media server... that's why we want the ops center installed on the server only.
Thanks in Advance.

Just guessing, but uninstalling the media server software also probably uninstalled PBX or JRE. That would be required for OpsCenter to run.
I can't find the docs now, but I remember at one point that the OpsCenter (or maybe it was just the older VBR) server had to have the NetBackup client software installed. The server software includes the client as well, so that could be another thing: just try installing the 7.0.1 client on the OpsCenter server and see if it works again. If not, a reinstall of the OpsCenter server should work, and you can restore your OpsCenter database from the backup.
Yes, please ensure your make a backup copy of your database, prior to any work.
./installpath/OpsCenter/Server/bin/dbackup <backup_path>
Example: dbbackup D:\dbbackup\
Once complete, feel free to run the uninstall... but as Ron stated, this will effect PBX, and you will likely need to run a repair or a clean reinstall of OpsCenter.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Note: If this post provides you with a solution don't forget to mark the discussion as solved...

US Soccer Fans Gather for World Cup
When the United States Men's National Soccer team takes the field in Brazil for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, the most dedicated fans in the Fort Myers area will be watching on the big screens at the Tilted Kilt. For every U.S. match, the Fort Myers chapter of the American Outlaws will host watch parties that are open to the public.
"We've had fantastic attendance for the qualification matches leading up to the World Cup," said chapter president Stephen Cook, "and we want to see even bigger crowds for the World Cup games themselves. Of course we'd all love to be in Brazil, but the next best thing is to watch all the action with other people who love the game and support the Red, White and Blue."
On June 16 at 6 p.m. the United States will play its first of three matches against the other members of Group G, facing Ghana in Natal, Brazil. On June 22 at 6 p.m., they face Portugal in Manaus, Brazil and finish group play with Germany on June 26 at 12:00 p.m. The first match of the 2014 FIFA World Cup will feature host country Brazil against Croatia on June 12. The final match, which drew a televised audience of 700 million in 2010, will be played on July 13.
The Tilted Kilt is located at 13851 South Tamiami Trail in South Fort Myers, located in the old Dwyers building. During the matches, there will be raffles and giveaways for fans in attendance. Membership in the American Outlaws is not required to attend; all supporters of the U.S. are encouraged to come cheer their team to victory.

Eric Ramseur's Blog on Rainbow 2.0 development.
The cool people over at VisualSVN ( www.visualSVN.com) have given us a free open source license of their product. I must say that its integration is solid and works well with Visual Studio 2005 and 2008. All developers can get a free copy from us provided you do work. Rahul informs me that we begin heavy work on Rainbow 2.1 next week. I have been making a list of bugs that we will begin to attack such that we can get this release out of the door.
Alexey has also committed the updated resource files that Ill be testing. Microsoft changed the framework on us so quickly in this department we had to go one by one and fix each reference. Currently the most updated 2.0 release will install and upgrade but might have issues when the resource list is requested. An example of this would be add user as the country list is asked for. We should fixed this soon and push a new package but at least you can install/sample upgrade and use the portal for a user.
Below our custom license :
I havent been able to write in my blog for a very long time and I do apologize. Life it seems is hard...who knew? Hopefully 2008 will be an easier life for me. I have been mostly busy with being an Architect ( Im on my second contract where Im an Architect and its proving stressful) for the District of Columbia state gov't. Im working on Web services and have learned some easy tips with security ( mostly with WSE 3.0) and see the advantages of 3.0/3.5.
Where is Rainbow 2.1 you ask? Thats a great question. Currently, Im talking with the italians to see what they would like to do with rainbow. Manu was having mixed thoughts but I got him to come back and commit to the project by Jan 08. Miguel and I have done a lot of work behind the scenes and would hate to push that code only for the project to disband or be sold( I guess as a brand). With Manu's promise, I have promised to bring out a 2.1 version of Rainbow which will specifically target .net 2.0-3.5. Ive outlined this 2.1 version on my blog and between MGF, myself and a few developers, we have a solid version on the brink. Once manu can really commit, we can have his experience in doing releases.
Furthermore, HELLO Visual Studio 2008 came out today. Well it came out to people who MS considers cool. I got lucky and am a MSDN subscriber. I also beta tested 2002/2003 versions of Visual Studio. Ill be using Visual studio 2008 at my current gig to leverage the new framework additions ( mostly linq and updates to WCF/WF) to provide a better connected experience across our applications. Ive provided a screenshot of the install. Perhaps, Ill do a slackers overview for us bottom line developers.
Link to download : http://rainbow.googlecode.com/files/rainbow22.214.171.1241e.7z
Install in Detail : http://base.iocluster.com/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_Install_Rainbow
Online demo : http://www.ramseur.net/
I released this 5 days ago and am ready to release this to the public. We had about 1800 downloads before I deprecated the test version. Thanks to all who tried it. This version is officially 18.104.22.1681e and should be the version of choice for rainbow. It allows you to deploy the rainbow base production 1.6 code on the 2.0 framework to take advantage of the new 2.0 features. There are only minor bugs ( mostly in modules as the 2.0 framework has changed a lot ) which should not raise a big issue. We can start to attack these as the public reports them in the issue list. I only found one strong one in XML as 2.0 doesnt like the 1.1 way of how the module use to work. I got this module to work by hacking it and will work on a better fix before I submit it. I updated all the readme and license files. Please read these for information on install. Install can be done with the basic 1.1 way however 2.0 offers some new ways. You can now just open the solution file, set your connection string, and hit control - f5. No more setting up IIS ( unless you want to deploy into production). You can also publish the site to make a pre-compiled version which can perform installs if youd like. And lastly, you have the option of creating an mdf file in the app_data directory thereby creating a pre-installed version of rainbow. You can then customize this version to be however youd like and re-deploy as needed. Works well in a SQL Express environment as Ive found the other versions of 2005 dont like attach files.
In theory an update from 22.214.171.1240x to 184.108.40.2061e: In theory, this version could update your 1.6 databases. You would simply have to download the code, extract it, point it to our db and it "should" update your db to 184.108.40.2061 . I have done major test on fresh install and need help on the update efforts.
Special thanks goes to Jose as he helped me with some issues.
Hey folks,
The time has come. Rahul and I have stepped up our plans for rainbow. In Feb of 06, I first converted rainbow to 2.0. However, Rahul and I kept a personal edt that was a straight port of the production 1.6 code. We added some nice icons to help with UI and sold this version on iocluster.com to some select customers. This is the same version that runs www.iocluster.com and source.iocluster.com. Well we have decided to give this ( thats right straight to the google svn) to the community. This is a production copy of rainbow 2.0 ( i repeat ..PRODUCTION) and has never had a major problem or gone down since I deployed it over a year ago. All my major testing was first done with this version then applied to the new release that will be coming out. I will be recommending this version OVER RB 1.6 but by all means you can still use the .NET 1.1 version.
Shall I explain.... Alexey has already changed the version number of the soon to be released ( late summer) Rainbow 2.1 which will be a fully .NET 2.0 featured portal/CMS. I will be releasing ( possibly tonight or tomorrow) the straight port of RB 126.96.36.1990f ( i believe f but I need to confirm). Only a few things broke when I converted this version to 2.0. Only 3 modules ( which I will review) and maybe a small minor thing here or there. Let me remind users that this version DOES NOT support all the things that the .NET 2.0 featured version will. It ONLY is a straight port of production 1.6 that runs on the 2.0 framework. It runs pretty solidly and I beg thee to find problems with it so we can fix it. I know there is a small issue with the XML/XSL module which I made a temp fix for since 2.0 does file directories differently ( i assume this is why since you pick the xsl from a file directory and it doesnt show up). This version ( 184.108.40.2060f) will be placed on google code SVN AND the binaries ( pre-compiled 2.0 version) and source will be avail. The community developers will be on major focus on the 2.1 version as this is the .net 2.0 feature version.
Quick Review :
Sample sites : http://www.iocluster.com http://source.iocluster.com
Release date : 06-08-2007 ( little leeway but as i said maybe be today)
Is basically an exact copy of RB 1.6 on the .net 2.0 framework
Can support ALL .NET 2.0 features
Is the version we used to create RB 2.1 beta 1 and future versions
DOES NOT IMPLEMENT any 2.0 features but can be adapted to
Can in theory upgrade a 1.6 site if you swap your design and portals folder
Release date : 08-15-2007
The latest and greatest on the 2.0 framework.
ASPNETDB, Masterpages, Skins/themes , Rainbow projects have been broken up in to 13 projects and are compiled ( Rainbow.Framework.Security ) APIs, XHTML by default, use of partial classes, .NET 2.0 controls, tons of fixes/improvements, Installer
please stand by
**** Update ( 6-08-2007) ***
My version is 184.108.40.2060e and I want to have it 22.214.171.1240f as that was the latest public release of Rainbow 1.6 on the .NET 1.1 framework. As I see from the history.txt file, Dan made a cool fix to blank passwords in your profile. Im currently coordinating with him to add this fix to my version. I also would like to add the fix to Security.cs for Active directory that one of our community developers found.
**** Update ( 6-10-2007)
Im going to first upload the source to the google svn ( giving it to Alexey tomorrow). This way we ( rainbow devs) can prep it for a good release. Also anyone with an svn util can download and give it a test.
*** Update ( 6-19-2007)
I released this on google to rainbow devs only but its publically avail. A new blog will be up soon.
This was a pretty simple change and I will put it on the svn soon and it will be in Beta 2. I updated the FCK version and the FCK.NET control ( made it .net 2.0). I deleted the two old veersions and made this the only one as its the most stable. I didnt have to change the code much at all. I added a ref to my new 2.0 control and swapped out directories. Below are screen shots. I figure Id end the FTB issues ( that DNN is also having and replaced their control also) in rainbow and add a solid version of FCK. The coolest thing is now you get all the benifits of the new version. I higly recommend checking out www.fckeditor.net . Ill post updates on master pages as soon as I get something solid. My focus is on www.csszengarden.com .
So UI is on my mind recently. I mean how can you really use rainbow if you cant show it to the world or at least to your intranet users. Often I run into small issues where things are out of wack or a module is rendered incorrectly. Manu recently (yesterday) showed me a site he got working with Masterpages and having the rainbow sql backend. This got me to thinking that it really isnt that hard to add the master page functionality to rainbow. I have this as my top priority for Beta 2 ( closly tied with stablity). I thought Id write how I plan on doing this.
Ive never been much of a UI guy myself. I always left that up to Rahul. In college, I kept telling myself that as long as I know ASP.NET, Ill be gold. Unfortunately for me and fortunate for the rainbow project, Rahul was right in telling me that UI matters as much as functionality. Its the very reason a lot of Rainbow's functionality is hidden because of poor UI or lack of a solid core module. I just recently deployed the telerik Menu control in an enterprise application. I hope to use this info to apply to adding a menu control ( and maybe a trial telerik menu hint hint) and master pages to rainbow.
My plan is simple. Support master pages AND the two current schemes ( which hopefully we can get rid of in the future due to this upgrade) of design in Rainbow ( classic and Zen). Im starting with a copy of the default folder in DesktopLayouts. This is where I can take advantage of ASPNETDB ( profile info) and add my menu control. I then will proceed to add a master page file ( default rainbow ie classic or zen but still in a master page) for the old system and 1 for ASP.NET 2.0 Skins/Themes approach ( the one I prefer).
Bottom line, a user should be able to create ANY master page and ANY theme and apply it to your master page to make a rainbow site look like anything. Tis a mouth full..until my next update. Comments on my approach?
Update : With the below example and changing DesktopDefault.aspx Ive gotten MasterPages to work.
Some code from my master file:
<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.master.cs" Inherits="Design_MasterPages_Default" %>
<%@ Register Src="DesktopPortalBanner.ascx" TagName="DesktopPortalBanner" TagPrefix="uc1" %>

Man you rainbow users are fast. Google gave us more space so I uploaded the novell release of the .NET 1.1 ( 184.108.40.2060F ) Rainbow 2006 to google code organizing us more on only one svn. Before I knew it, it had already been downloaded over 1000 times. Please understand that this is the 1.1 code and not the 2.0 code. However, Dan is doing a great job on admin of this project and now has his own area at google. I urge you to yell on the list or get in touch with Dan Keckman ( hope I spelled that right) if you want to help on the 1.1 code. We now have a full concentrated effort over at google. Please note this was the latest and greatest release I found and there have been some fixes after it over at google code. You can go grab the code here. The 1.1 code should be deployed in production over the 2.0 code as we are still in beta. For instructions on how to install this 1.1 production code refer :
Thanks to Alexey for being bold to make our first wiki entry . I have now followed suit and started to make wiki pages for the common questions I get by email ( dont hesistate to email me) and in the forums. This wiki will always be up seeing how its hosted on Google and will be a lot more friendly to read/up to date then the old wiki system. We also are cross-posting a lot of information to make for a better link of information. ( IE A user asks in the forums how to create a module and a wiki page is cross linked with that users common issues when he/she attempted to create a module). With that being said, my first page involves the issues ive heard of and solved on Beta 1. This page is featured on our google code page and will be updated as issues come in.
You can view my page here.
Try the Telerik Editor here.
I had a great talk with the CEO's of telerik. They informed me that their trials just show an ad every 30 requests and are the same assemblies as the up to date Telerik releases. Ive started my first implementation of Telerik inside of rainbow. I have easily added the Telerik RadEditor as an editor for Rainbow. This means that any module that uses an editor can use the Telerik Rad Editor instead. I am creating this version on our SVN. The cool thing is that if you want to purchase a dev copy of telerik, all you have to do is replace the dlls in the rainbow /bin folder and voila. You will have a full fledged ( without the ads) Telerik Version on your portal/application. RadSpell comes auto inside the editor which allows easy to use Ajax spell checking. It also inclused an XHTML checker for checking your Text/HTML for XHTML compliance. Not too shabby.
Below are a couple screen shots:
Update : This shot shows the Web2.0 skin being used and improved use with apply changes only.
This issue actually affects anyone using validators in their applications that went from RC to the final. With rainbow, thats exactly what we did and a user left a message in the forum that he would get errors trying to install rainbow. I have found the fix and now rainbow can use the new special Ajax validators until MS releases a system.web patch. I give credit to Jim Andrew for reporting the issue in our forums. This just reaffirms our ASP.NET Ajax framework in Rainbow.
The two blog entrees below explain the fix and common issues with ASP.NET Ajax
To fix your beta 1 or ASP.NET Ajax app with this issue :
1.) Go grab the validators from Matt Gibbs blog above
2.) Add a ref to Validators.dll
3.) Change the tag mappings to the new tag mappings in the pages section of Rainbow's web.config
4.) Recompile and rainbow will load like normal
Def by Beta 2 we will have this fixed so you will just install rainbow like normal. We will also include the installer....
After I got this issue fixed, I started work on the installer and the Stater kit. You can view an image of the new Staterkit here.
Now that we
finally have some breathing room on a release, Rainbow admins/developers are
discussing ways to improve Beta 2. Beta 2 is another blog discussion so Ill
focus on Rewrite. I was surfing the web for a better wiki engine [ more on that
later] and some how stumbled on to some information about .NET 2.0 rewrite. Of
course this info is on Scott Guthrie's blog and in turn is very trusted. Scott
explains the different approaches of how to perform url rewriting. He goes over
the advantages with my favorite being search engine optimization. To cut to the
point, rainbow needs this badly. Im sure his rewrite module is faster and more
lightweight then the one we currently use. It also has an easier web.config
declarative approach of what url strings to rewrite.
Go check it out here.
Download the release from Google code:
You can click on the featured
download from the main page or click to the download page by the Downloads tab.
Hello my fellow Rainbow community users.
Last night I put the final touches on a beta 1 release that I was
working on with QA. I finally believe
that I've reached a point where the code is in a position to at least function
like a beta. The Beta was released under
the Apache 2.0 license to ease license info with other third party components
and because it plain rocks.
This release owes a great debt to the MGF team. Jose did a great job and went out of his way
to fix things and fine tune some of the most important parts of rainbow. ASPNETDB is now fully integrated. There are still some open issues that are
documented in the README file along with a list of changes.
I invite you to test this release
and report issues to: http://community.rainbowportal.net/forums/thread/13720.aspx
If you have a Google account, you can report issues directly to us on Google. However, I ask that you use this with caution
and make sure your issue is not already listed.
I don't even have to tell you how easy it is to search issues on
Google. You can test this out here: http://code.google.com/p/rainbow/issues/list

Summer Burglaries and the Neighborhood Watch
Primary tabs
Anna Carpenter
This summer has been a bit turbulent in terms of break-ins and car thefts, with a high spike in July. I heard about home burglaries almost daily and when I went on the crime timeline on http://crime.latimes.com/ the yellow dots sprinkled over the map and the timeline gave me a confirmation of what was happening. Around the same time a resident posted a video of a get-away van that was speeding off after a break-in on the MWA Facebook page. Eric had caught a good shot of the vehicle with his surveillance cameras and his street felt it was time to organize a Neighborhood Watch. So did many other streets on Mount Washington. What does it entail to start a Neighborhood Watch?
Define the neighborhood. Determine the area your Watch group will cover. Keep in mind that the bigger the area, the bigger the group will be. That means you will need a larger space for meetings, more materials for flyers, more time to organize, etc.
Secure a meeting spot. If your Watch only covers your street, meetings can probably be held in a private home. If your area is much bigger, you can consider meeting at the Carlin G. Smith Recreation Center.
Recruit neighbors and stay active. Get to know your neighbors and help each other look out for possible trouble. You may find many new friends among the residents of your street and neighborhood. I know I have and it has added so much to my life. It's all about keeping in touch and keeping the contact information current. Set up a yearly meeting to receive new tips and updates from the police department.
Get help from your SLO (Senior Lead Officer). Officer Preciado (213) 793 0761 and Officer Rey (213) 793 0758 are our local contacts. Also go online at www.lapdonline.org to get detailed information about Neighborhood Watch and check out their crime watch map as well.

Large land deals a threat to farmers: U.N.
United Nations, N.Y. (UPI) Nov 12, 2010
Large-scale acquisitions of agricultural land and expansion of biofuel feedstock crops are driving farmers deeper into poverty and hunger, U.N. studies showed.
Findings on land purchases in poor countries by foreign investor nations and organizations is brewing an explosive cocktail that would spell trouble both in terms of social balance and food supply, U.N. Special Rapporteur on Food Olivier de Schutter said.
U.N. studies show that new pressures being built on farmland by investor interest in large tracts and conversion of food crops into feedstock production can impact on food available to at least 500 million farmers, many of them in Latin America.
Added to those problems were environmental degradation and urbanization, De Schutter said.
"The plots cultivated by smallholders are shrinking year after year," he said in a report presented to the U.N. General Assembly. Farmers are encouraged to sell their lands to investors or feedstock producers then find themselves having to produce food on less-fertile soil or on land with inadequate irrigation.
He said the developments posed a direct challenge to the right of rural populations to grow their own food.
U.N. estimates show up to 30 million hectares of farmland are being lost due to the combined effects of large land sales, conversion to non-food crops, encroachment by urbanization and soil degradation.
Large-scale land acquisitions worldwide reached 45 million hectares in 2009, U.N. estimates showed. More than one-third of the newly acquired large-scale land holdings are likely to be converted to producing feedstock for biofuels.
China, South Korea and Arab states have been the largest buyers but investment firms in the Americas have also bought into farmlands in the Western Hemisphere.
Land purchases caught momentum after the sharp prices rises in food and commodities from 2008 onward.
Analysts said the large-scale land purchases represented an emerging threat both for the countries targeted for investment and for the investors who poured money into what they believed to be lucrative deals.
Many investors have poured money into land deals hoping they will enjoy the same rights as landowners in modernized industrial countries. In fact, many deals have been found to be based on questionable legal frameworks and suspect documentation.
Investors are also exposed to the risk that the national governments of countries targeted for large-scale land acquisitions may change legal frameworks, with unpredictable results for the new owners.
The threat posed to buyers of large tracts of land, however, is distant while tens of thousands of farmers face immediate problems of poverty and hunger, analysts said.

The latest drug craze
Criminals, and especially drug dealers, can be an incredibly ingenious group. Take something simple and they will find a way to convert it into illicit activity.
The latest example of that is electronic cigarettes. First, a quick background on e-cigs, as they are commonly known. Many look just like regular cigarettes. They operate with a rechargeable battery and replacement cartridges that contain liquid nicotine. When heated by the battery, the nicotine turns to a vapor and is inhaled.
The Food and Drug Administration recently issued proposed rules for regulating e-cigs. One of the key provisions proposed is an age limit, expected to be at least 18 but possibly higher. We fully support such measures. The product contains nicotine and should be regulated by the FDA complete with health warnings.
Back to the criminals. Last week, two men were arrested and authorities found a narcotic substance they have never seen before. The substances currently are in the hands of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation for further testing.
What is known is the substance contains methamphetamine. The kicker? Authorities have determined the substance is meant to be smoked using electronic cigarettes.
The discovery came about after Coweta County Sheriff's Deputy Jeff Bugg made a traffic stop. He got permission to search the vehicle and discovered a baggie containing several small, spongy, gelatinous cubes, according to the sheriff's office. The cubes tested positive for meth.
Meth is one of the most dangerous, addictive and destructive drugs out there. And it is a serious problem in this community. We are fortunate that law enforcement in the county and various cities here are aggressively going after the problem, using everything from special tasks forces to drug-detection canines.
But that doesn't stop drug addicts who have now found yet another way to eventually kill themselves. We can only pity them and encourage law enforcement to continue aggressively going after the distributors and manufacturers.

ESRL Global Systems Division
High Visibility for Science On a Sphere®
NOAA's Science on a Sphere (SOS) has seen a busy January. A team from the Global Systems Division's Technology Outreach Branch set up an installation at the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul, MN the week of January 9th. This is the first of five scheduled installations to follow nationwide over the next several months.
Additionally, SOS was featured at the National Maritime Center (Nauticus) TsunamiReady event in Norfolk, VA on January 24th that recognized Norfolk as being the first major East Coast city to attain that designation. Science On A Sphere exhibited a model representation from the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) of the 12/26/04 Indonesian Tsunami event. Another dramatic simulation, also prepared by PMEL, of a hypothetical Atlantic coast tsunami due to a large earthquake in the Puerto Rican Trench provided viewers with an experiential understanding of the dangers of tsunamis and the need for community preparedness.
During the American Meteorological Society Conference in Atlanta, GA from January 29 to February 2, Science on a Sphere took center stage in the NOAA exhibit booth. Various data sets were presented including one specially prepared for sessions highlighting the 2005 Hurricane Season.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
With a light rain falling and thunder rumbling overhead, North Sanpete stole the first game of region play from the Dinos girl's soccer squad on Wednesday afternoon by the score of 3-2. "The girls know they outplayed North Sanpete the entire game and the loss hurt," commented Coach Jerald Upwall.
Carbon came out ready to play and was in control for the first half. Most of the action was on the Dino half of the field and they drew first blood. Felicia Olmos punched it in on an assist by Brittany McKibben. North Sanpete got on the board next, but the Dinos scored again before the half was over on another McKibben to Olmos play.
Jazmin Moncada returned to the line-up despite her ankle injury, but was pulled in the second half because she was in pain. With a less experienced sub in her place, North Sanpete scored their second goal. Carbon had another chance when Hannah Downard headed down field on a break away play. Less than 10 feet from the goal she was cleated from behind and was sent sprawling to the ground. When she was finally able to get up, she was awarded a penalty kick. It was blocked.
Upwall was still a bit miffed that a red card was not given, "She (Downard) could have been seriously hurt."
North Sanpete scored again with 10 minutes left to play. It appeared the gaol would be negated by an off sides flag thrown by the line official. After a huddle and heated discussion, the call was overruled by the head official and the goal counted. With that, the Hawks secured the win.
Upwall was still pleased with what he saw on the field. "Our girls outplayed North Sanpete and but for a tough break here and there, the win should have been ours. In addition to the outstanding play of Olmos and McKibben, Upwall also praised the play of Sarah Norton and Downard."
"Norton has improved tremendously. We moved Fish (Olmos) into the center middle spot and Sarah is now in the forward spot and playing well." he said. Upwall went on to commend Downard's performance as well, "Before she would dribble up the sidelines, now she is taking it right up the middle of the field."
The Dinos have a seven day break before they head up to Juan Diego on Wednesday. They then return home on Friday Sept. 19 to run with the Delta Rabbits. Game time is 3:30 pm. behind Carbon High.

For those complaining about not enough Virtual Console options, keep in mind that the library of Nintendo games is so huge, they could literally supply us with games for the 3DS and Wii U for years. Just the NES catalog has over 700 games. This is counter productive to their intent on bringing newer games that use the hardware more efficiently and with greater spectacle than what the older systems provide. Fan favorites like Mario, Zelda and Metroid are already available, which is a given. But they need 3rd party support and they won't get it if they flood their own landscape with older titles that take revenue away via vc game sales, from developers who want to make new games for their systems. Don't get me wrong, I love VC and would enjoy HD versions of titles that are expensive to acquire in the collectors market, which is why I bought Earthbound on the Wii U, a cartridge that normally goes for close to $100 and close to $500 NIB (new in box). But the resale market is still the best way to get the games you loved again that have not arrived on VC. Part of that is publishers and developers go belly-up, or contractual arrangements between developer parties inhibits resale (i.e. Banjo Kazooie will never make it to a Nintendo console again) so it's not like Big N can flip a switch and give us what we want just because it was on an older console. Many N64 titles on the Wii are a viable alternative, albeit not in HD, but they've been upscaled. I personally see DS games starting to show up by the end of the year, with some popular out of print titles like Chrono Trigger making it to the E-Shop. But don't hold your breath for a huge library of games, the Wii U is struggling and the only thing that's going to save it is brand new killer games. Otherwise consumers will flock to the other guys.

Are those supposed to be screen shots of the units output? Looks the same to me. Unless this board actually forces the unit to remap textures and the reality signal processor to HD resolutions, rather than just a signal upgrade, I can't see it making much of a difference. It might remove interlacing and aliasing (which would be a nice thing) but it won't ad resolution, with an effect similar to what we see with Super Nintendo games on Wii U VC. They look great, but they are still blocky 16bit images. I bought an HDMI upscaler for my N64 and the improvement was minimal even while using the SVideo output, and the dithering and interlacing was so prominent, I just ended up buying a used Sony Trinitron CRT to play my N64 in glorious standard definition. The TV was a steal at $20 and looks amazing actually. A much simpler solution, no soldering required, and you're keeping TV's out of landfills. If it's really a serious upgrade, the bulk of their buyers would be the modders who have the technical know-how and can install and sell the units on E-Bay. They would be pricey though. Average would be close to a new console now I would think.
Dennō Senshi Porygon!!!
Anybody else remember episode thirty eight of Pokemon Anime? Would be cool if they offered it, but not without a disclaimer of course, that is if it's not edited.
I love Netflix on my 3DS but audio is in mono, which ruins musicals and sound effects heavy Sci Fi. Still, it's nice to know I can catch up on the Pokemon craze from the beginnings.
Thank you for this! Rare has always been an enigmatic yet magical company in my eyes and you have helped me see the forest through the trees, so to speak. Banjo Kazooie won my heart instantly, and from then on I was hooked on their games. While I love the FPS genre, Goldeneye's learning curve turned me off a little, but Perfect Dark is a title I joyously return to on my new (used) Jungle Green N64, despite the controls perhaps being even harder. Along with DK64 waiting to be played as well, anytime I can find a used copy of a Rare game, I snatch it up. Just like acquiring my N64, a used SNES is also in my future JUST to play Rare games since Microsoft now owns their catalog and I'm not about to give them more of my money, that is unless they commission Rare to make a new game, that's inspired and as joyous as their legacy titles. Once again, thank you.
@Kolzig I doubt they will port MPH or Mario Kart DS to the Wii U because they've got MK8 coming and (speculatively) a new Metroid. But it would have been cool to play with others through the Wii U, combining online play with DS users, 3DS users and Wii and Wii U users. Four consoles linked together in various formats through virtual console, and native cartridges. But that would just be too much trouble for Nintendo I guess. Their marketing teams have already determined that's not what we want. It's a shame however that Nintendo used to stimulate our imaginations with off the wall products that didn't make much profit but they gave it a chance and we loved the variety. Where did that passion for new interactive experiences go? Sad.
I HATE playing games on my smartphone! I have some well rated titles too and as much as I tried, the touch screen does not work! I also rarely get in-game upgrades because of one bad experience. N.O.V.A. was one such purchase, and when I bought the unlock for the game, it never registered. I contacted the developer's customer support line and they said to uninstall and re-install, but I still got stuck in the same area and couldn't move forward. Still, the touch screen is not accurate enough for any action game, at least not for most of us with big hands or fat fingers. Fast reflexes require accurate and responsive controls and touch screens are not capable of it. Additionally I would feel that MY investment in Nintendo was diminished if I started seeing people play games like Super Mario 64 or Luigi's Mansion on their smartphones. Let them have Fruit Ninja or Angry Birds, the fact that so many great games are ONLY available on Nintendo hardware adds to their value. Additionally, the popularity of the 3DS is proof that people would rather have a dedicated portable gaming machine. I'm glad I can play Zelda or Metroid on my 3DS, not only because they look fantastic, but I can get calls and texts on my phone without interrupting my game. Sure there's money to be made for everything popular, but it doesn't necessarily make it right. Need I remind anyone what fossil fuels are doing this planet? Ultimately I think Nintendo needs to stay out of the mobile arena because it's for losers who are bored while riding on the train or the bus, not for serious gamers who take value in their game collections, their hardware or the legacy that the likes of Nintendo has created for us all. Tablets are a little closer to quality, but still the controls are an issue, and for a device intended for reading books and balancing your checkbook, playing Nintendo games on it would feel like eating Kobe steak on a paper plate.
You know my faith in the big N is diminishing. One rule of business is, you can't really play it safe and succeed. They are playing it too safe, cutting off one artery to feed another. I scream foul. They need to stop sitting on that five billion they've got locked away in their vaults and EXPAND! You have to think big to be big, but Nintendo is thinking small. TOO SMALL!
It's a shame they are doing this BEFORE bringing DS titles to the Wii U! They are going to alienate players even more. Metroid Prime Hunters still has a huge on-line following and since ther isn't even a follow up for the game on the 3DS (unlike Mario Fart!) fans will not be happy about losing that functionality. There's even a thriving Facebook page devoted to the game and people swap their codes and schedule matches regularly. I am a bit torn personally. I never played much of the game on-line, but it's nice to know it's there. I was hoping that eventually they would bring the game to the Wii U and we could play it on-line with other DS users, expanding the audience for the title but I guess that was a waste of brain power on my part. Whatever Nintendo. Whatever!
Nice optimism. But the Japanese have always favored their own products over American made. Look how many American cars are purchased in Japan in contrast to Japanese cars. This is no conquest. Not by a longshot.
His list would be different if he actually paid for these games instead of getting them for free from Nintendo Life or the publishers.
I could maybe see some success with a "Ring System". The NFC code contained in rings you can wear or put on a pendant. I'm not talking big plastic Cracker Jack rings, but well made jewelry. They would come in all sorts of collectible designs and maybe even have adult sizes for older players. What they would do is up to the game or even Nintendo. The obvious app would be something of Lord of the Rings. But I see a broader audience for this. Adventures would definitely be well suited for tracking players and interactions on-line. If you could assign your NFC code to your Mii, playing with others on compatible titles would be just a matter of swiping your ring. I could see this opening up a new dimension to Nintendo that would expand their merchandise market in a new direction. But something tells me they've thought of this already. My take on this is based on the fact that kids are enjoying interactive gameplay with their friends using their skylanders/infinity figures. For the NFC take it down a notch and give the user something they can transport easier than a collection of figurines.
How is it that Rare didn't take Diddy Kong with them when they left? Too bad we don't get Conqer or Banjo in the fight.
You obviously haven't played those games.
@theadrock13 I understand what you're saying but I have to point out that Nintendo has never had top tier hardware, with the possible exception of the N64 which was kind of a fluke/mutant/gamble all rolled into one. The NES was not top of the line tech when it was released, they just had larger and better games than what you could find on the other 8 bit systems, and with Sega's 16bit genesis there was no comparison. As the Genesis wasn't technically strong enough, the Amiga and Atari ST were blazing through 16bit gaming by the time the SNES arrived. The Gamecube was trying to be a playstation without DVD, and the Wii was a control gimmick that paid off but still the hardware wasn't revolutionary. Nintendo has never been on the forefront of technology, but they HAVE been at the forefront of providing great games, and that should always be their focus. I just hope that games can pull the Wii U out of it's rut because it's getting very sad to watch.
Nintendo will just brick the console if there's any hint of corruption. Not to mention your e-shop account will probably be DOA. Not worth it just to play burns of Super Mario Galaxy or run emulators. I buy my games legitimately and there are still so many I haven't gotten to yet. But some people need more more more and without paying for it. Sad.
@StarDust4Ever OMFG LOLOLOLOL!
But not for real. Don't want to give the kids any bad ideas.
It's time to euthanize all these virtual pets. The real world pets need forever homes.
They should have made it in 3D.
I try not to let my expectations get the best of me anymore where games are concerned. Seems like the hype is never equal to the reality, with a few exceptions (Bravely Default) so I will wait for your review. Let's just hope it's got a lot of content, great visuals and music.
It's too early to tell, not even a teaser screen shot. My mind is thinking "Skyrim" on the 3DS, but with no open world environments, just dungeons. I could be wrong, and hope I am, as long as whatever they're doing is epic. I have Rytmik Retrobits for DSiWare and love it. Been considering buying the other music apps as they are really a lot of fun and sound good.
Bought this one new on the day of release and as much as I wanted to like it, I just couldn't. It's a gorgeous game and some elements were fun, but the controls were frustrating and for me, immersion is the first step to a great game. If I can't fall into it like I'm falling into bed, it's not going to happen. JFG is a gem but unless you've got the patience to devote to it, it might as well be a brick.
You boys must be pretty bored in the office.
If Seth Rogan has anything to do with it, count me out. He's a talentless smudge of an entertainer who's capitalized on the sloth generation of pot smokers and internet trolls and I don't find anything he's done to be funny or entertaining. Why not someone who's got a bit more tech under his belt, and was a 20 something at the time of the actual wars, say Jon Favreau (Iron Man) or J.J. Abrams? Not this jockstrap of a human being...
I ignored DKRacing when it was first released, writing it off as a MKart clone. But after having reacquired an N64 a few months ago and deciding I was going to focus on best loved games for my retro collection, I saw the game was above MK on many Greatest Hits lists, so I bought a used copy and now I'm totally in love with it, and have no intention of getting a replacement copy of Mario Kart. Truly one of the best racing games ever.
I honestly didn't consider getting this game but was saving my money for Chrono Trigger DS and then thought it would be nice to play a current title for a change, and so I picked it up and haven't put it down. I just finished the introduction level and started chapter one (I'm a slow gamer) and it's beautiful.
@SuperMarioBros3 I bought a 16gb SD card for my flame red 3DS that I've carred with me through two additional upgrades. It's now in my Zelda 3DS XL which stores all my games including Link Between Worlds, and over 20 other games and I still have 90000 blocks. VC games don't take that much space and when it comes to new games, there's still plenty of room. But yes, physical is better in the long run. I made sure to pick up the cartridge for Bravely Default.
"Level Grinding" something new to look up on Wikipedia.
I would like to point out that gamers should continue to urge publishers to release physical discs of their games. They have collectible and monetary value and we should always buy physical when we can. However I DID just purchase a 320gb HD for my 360 so I can download free games with gold and remixed HD classics like REZ that can't be found anywhere else without a heafty price tag and/or needing the original console it was released on.
YEAR OF SAMUS would turn me into Jell-O.
This is why I'm faithful to Nintendo. They embrace innovation and new things, new ideas, all while keeping a strong grip on in what's established. They don't have to coddle huge studios to keep their brand relevant, and somewhere in the mix we will find a new Psygnosis, or Rareware ready to take the lead with their hardware. Nice!
The original Contra is on my NES must-play list.
There you go.
@Funny_Moblin Yes, and yes. Since the game is so cheap now (because it sucks), you should check it out for yourself and writhe in the awfulness of it.
If this is anything like Walker's review for Zombi U, I'm sure I will be completely disappointed! Waiting to hear what the others say NL is BIASSSED!
This review is so completely wrong that I really don't know where to start. Zombi U is a confused, frustrating and ugly mess of a game, with poor controls that are disguised as "unique gameplay", environments that are dull, AI that often refuses to give you a fighting chance, and finally, a poorly coded game with hidden glitches that force you to lose your progress. I played this game for about a month's time, even restarting and getting used to the controls so I could say I mastered the game. I WANTED To like Zombi U! But after finding my shortcuts gone after dying during the final sequence, then on my second play through getting trapped by a glitch in a safe room in Buckingham palace where the only thing I could do at all was quit the game, I unflinchingly decree Zombi U is one of the worst games ever made.
I defend my abilities as well, for these factors have nothing to do with my ability to master a game, and everything to do with a substandard experience that has been said was rushed to launch, but I think it was intentionally "dumbed-down" for the very purpose of getting it out there. As in the old 8 -bit days, tough controls and the need to backtrack environments were used to compensate for lack of content, but to find that in a game today is a slap in the face to those of us who put faith into the game companies who provide these entertainments at the prices they do, to give us the most bang for our buck. In the end, Zombie U could have been done much cheaper in 2D on a mobile device and called "Bash the Zombies", because that's all it is.
But getting onto the subject of expectations, I think at this stage in the technology of gaming we have a right to expect a game experience to be fluid, varied, logical with a lot of content, and bug free. But Zombi U is NONE of those things, and I personally resent anyone saying my expectations are out of line for this game or that I just can't handle it. I played by Zombi U's rules, I gave it as much time anyone could, and it was still disappointing.
For those who defend this game, save it. I've been there, I know what's wrong with it, I know it could have been better, it could have been bug-free, it could have been fun. But just like the story of the Emperor's New Clothes, there are always people who defend crap, because they don't want to admit they are eating crap, and try to convince the rest of us it isn't crap. BUT ZOMBI U IS CRAP!
Zombi U ruined Ubisoft for me. No thanks. If I want a pretty RPG I will play Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5.
Lately I can't help feeling that Nintendo has been positioning themselves as a subordinate in a market they have reluctantly dominated for almost 30 years. Taking a back seat with unexpected technological offerings such as the cartridge format for N64 (when optical was feasible and would have yielded greater games and knocked Sony out of the ballpark), but they seem to invariably nurture the competition by taking conservative strides in the hardware wars. Could it be because their friends and neighbors work for the competition? Keeping it friendly isn't really progressive, but I suppose it is what it is, but this time it's failing to work in their favor. With all the virtual console offerings I'm tempted to call the Wii U - "Wii U Turn". Meanwhile the PS4 is looking more and more attractive. By September when "Destiny" arrives, if there isn't anything equally amazing on the Wii U for me, I may start to budget for other platforms. Right after I finish Metroid Fusion.
To be fair I have to admit I didn't read your review completely, but I will. I just wanted to say I had this game when it was originally released and was sadly disappointed, particularly in the lack of music after such a fantastic score in Symphony of the Night, which brought the romanticism of vampire lore into the series magnificently. But that's not all. I thought the controls were terrible and I was not swept away by what should have been a rich and powerful gaming experience. Perhaps if I wasn't so ticked off, I would have given the game more of a chance, but I wrote it off fairly quickly and have no regrets. It's one thing to give props to an interactive experience based on what it is on it's own, and I can see your appreciation for this game is fairly strong. But it was not fair using the Castlevania universe up to that point to throw a curve ball at those of us who were in love with the side scrolling series. That's not to say I wasn't ready for a change. When I found out they were making it for the 64 I was elated, and ready for an epic 3D experience with fun monsters and great music. What I felt I got was a slap in the face by the publishers who seem to have the attitude..."We're going in this direction now, so if you don't like it, play one of the older games". Where I come from that's called "Bait and Switch" and nothing diminishes my loyalty more. I'm sorry to say I've been jaded ever since. I have not played another Castlevania game published after Symphony of the Night, and I really don't plan to.
I'm surprised no one has released a key chain version of this epic console with all of the games in one.
Sorry to see there hasn't been an update to this article, as the M01D has been released, I have it and think it's totally worth the money if you're a musician and want something to make professional quality music with on your 3DS. While it doesn't utilize the systems graphics hardly at all (one color scheme, no visualizations, 3D is hardly used) the application is very easy to pick up and start making music with. Probably the best reason for putting this workstation on the 3DS, the kaos pad is very well implemented, with 29 different scalings and multiple configurations for each. While the resolution of the notes is relative to the size of your patterns (called "Scenes"), they can be adjusted per scene from 1 to 64 events. With eight discreet instruments (one rhythm) playing one of over 300 tones, and each with adjustable attack and release parameters, the possibilities are almost limitless, and, they truly do become limitless if you export your song to Midi Format and load it into your studio DAW to add your own gear and patches to the mix. Serious power in the palm of your hand. I love it.
@OmegaAndres Thank you!
Thanks for posting this. I heard that Nintendo was under the microscope with organizations like Greenpeace, now it's much clearer to be sure. I like his approach that we should use our tech as a means of reaching out and education, not demonizing it. There is a flow to the universe and death is just as much of a part of life. We cannot judge Nintendo, only encourage them to be as gentle and caring about how they obtain their materials as they are about keeping violent or disturbing content out of their games where children are concerned. This is why I love Nintendo games, where anyone, young and old can play. Judging them is the last thing we should do, or summon dark clouds over their products (as another member did at the beginning of this thread). If we are to throw stones, let us throw them at ourselves for what we are doing to our oceans and our environment, because we need petrol belching trucks to deliver organic yogurt to our favorite health food stores. There should be no blame here, only awareness and letting our favorite game company know we care what we hold in our hands.
Bayonetta looks as messy as Wonderful 101. Ick. Would prefer to play Metroid Fusion on my 3DS, but it is what it is. I WILL have it either way. Peppy caught my attention immediately. WHAT A TEASER!!! Will have to look into the game, but I'm not into Pay as you Play, unless of course it's Moon Chronicles. THAT looks like fun!
I have a retro-bit N64 wireless and the memory pak adapter doesn't work and the company said it doesn't when I wrote them back, forcing me to use the original controller. I already have a genesis and with the virtual console options expanding on the Nintendo E-Shops, I won't be getting this and probably won't be buying anything from Retro-bit either.
Iwata was born in the same year as my brother, the year of the Earth Pig.
My brother is pretty cool.
Lol! In many ways I'm glad this one got a 4, as it's just one more virtual console game I don't have to buy. I have been collecting the classics but when it comes to the arcade ports and 8-bit groundlings, I'm seriously putting a cap on my spending. I think I will give SMB2 and 3 (when it's released) my last bit of virtual cash, but these games from the early days have worn out their welcome for me.
It all depends on how it's applied.
Had Zombi U been the killer app everybody thought it would be, this wouldn't be a problem. But it was crap, so there you go.
Your reviews of the Sega 3D Classics are brilliant. I have Sonic and Ecco and will be getting Galaxy Force II or Shinobi soon. Haven't decided yet which I will spend my money on, but you've helped me narrow down the choices considerably, if, I don't just buy them all. I just hope M2 and Sega do not stop here, like Nintendo did with their 3D NES Classics which hasn't seen a new release in years.

The Akebulan 5 – Akosua / Anesu
From the SomeOthaShip Connect imprint, Georgia Anne Muldrow recasts herself as Pattie Bling for newly released projects with the Akebulan 5 (the last pairing was Sagala in 2008). This paring of synth funk ("fOnk")/jazz projects features Pattie Bling vocals on two tracks on Akosua (which means "born/given life on Sunday") and one track on Anesu (which means "God is with us and in us"). Akosua is the shorter of the two sister projects and features a powerful tribute to Deandre Brunston ("Deandre") who was killed in a police shootout in 2003. The rest of the tracks on both projects roll with infectious head-nodding instrumentals and funk/jazz loops that hip-hop heads come to expect and appreciate from this imprint. Both are available from SomeOthaShip Bandcamp page.

Timothy O'Neil's Fundraising Page
Greetings family, friends and those guilty by association, thanks for visiting our fundraising page! For the second year we are attempting raise money for Huntington's Disease. Last year we raised $10,350. Thank you to everyone who donated and supports HD.
We have are hoping to begin a Huntington's Disease Society of America (HDSA) Chapter in Virginia. The University of Virginia's Neurology Department is one of 21 sites in the United States recognized by the HDSA as a Center of Excellence (COE) to treat Huntington's Disease (HD) patients and their families. We started a UVA HDSA fundraising committee earlier this year. We had hoped to have two actual fundraising events this past year, but the poor economy dashed our plans.
Please consider donating to the HDSA virtually through this page! We realize that many folks are short of disposable income during this economic downturn. Any donation is welcome. We have used the FirstGiving.com site ourselves several times in the past and found it to be simple and secure. If you prefer to send a check, please contact us. The fine people at the HDSA tell us that company matching programs have been very helpful over the years. We will be delighted to send you the HDSA contact information. Not only will your dollars support the HDSA's COE at UVA, but the HDSA has a donor matching program which will match every dollar donated 1:1 with a dollar donated to HD research. Scientific research is critical to discovering successful treatments for HD.
Huntington's is a genetic disease which has 50% chance of being passed onto the affected person's children. HD affects 1 out of every 10,000 Americans. A simple way to describe HD is a combination of Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease on steroids with a dash of schizophrenia. HD generally affects folks in middle age, 30 to 50 years old. For more medical details on HD, please check out http://www.utmb.edu/neuro/huntington.htm.
We would like to recognize the members of the committee for donating their time, friendship, and support:
Tammy Campbell, Powhatan
John Russell, Esq., Midlothian
Marge Rogan, Albemarle
Ken Cady, Charlottesville
Debbie Persinger, Fluvanna
Ron Biringer, Powhatan
John Jenks, Richmond
We would also like to thank two people who are using their celebrity to support HD fundraising, Trey Gray, drummer for Brooks and Dunn, and Charles Sabine, NBC News correspondent.
Please visit the HDSA website at HDSA.org.
Thanks to our riend, Patty for linking her fundraising site, http://artforhuntingtons.com/ to this website. Please visit Patty's site.
Additionally, here are some of our virtual "publications":

'National tragedy' in Guatemala as landslides kill dozens
Guatemala City (AFP) Sept 5, 2010
Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom declared a "national tragedy" on Sunday after landslides killed at least 36 people and left rescuers digging in the mud for dozens still missing.
Colom declared a state of emergency as fears grew the eventual toll from scores of landslides across the country set off by weeks of torrential rain could be far higher.
"It's a national tragedy," Colom said as he visited a site where up to 40 people were feared to have been buried alive in a mudslide.
"This weekend alone we have seen damage comparable to what we experienced with Agatha," he said, referring to a tropical storm in May that killed 165 Guatemalans and left thousands homeless.
Officials said 40,000 people had lost their homes and another 11,686 had been evacuated.
"Top priority at present is dealing with this emergency," Colom said as he toured the devastation and put the cost of the damage, in one of the poorest countries in the Americas, at up to 500 million dollars.
Rescuers on Sunday dug nine bodies out of a 300-meter (1,000-foot) deep ravine off the main Pan-American Highway, west of the capital Guatemala City.
Fire service spokesman Cecilio Chacaj told AFP some 40 people had been buried in mud there even as they tried to help the occupants of five vehicles and a bus swept into the abyss by a previous landslide.
Ten people were killed in a separate incident on Saturday when a second bus on the main highway was buried near the town of Chimaltenango. Rescuers managed to unearth 20 survivors.
A landslide also buried a family of four inside their house in the western region of Quetzaltenango, while 13 more people were killed in separate incidents around the country.
In Nahuala municipality, rescuers in bright orange uniforms used shovels, hoes and their hands to unearth the corpses of victims. Among the dead was Manuel Sohon, whose uncle Manuel Ajtzalam wept as he identified him.
Guatemala's National Coordination for Disaster Reduction listed almost 200 landslides, wall collapses and mudslides across the country.
Three regions in the country's south, Escuintla, Retalhuleu and Suchitepequez, were placed on red alert.
With more heavy rain forecast, authorities have closed part of the Pan-American Highway.
"This section of the road has been declared impassable," Communications, Infrastructure and Housing Minister Guillermo Castillo told reporters. "It will not reopen until we are sure a similar tragedy will not occur again.
Colom also ordered rescue workers to halt operations if heavy rains passed through the area again.
He warned he had little funds left to cope with the disaster as the country was still struggling to recover from the killer storm Agatha in May.
Central America has been lashed by an unusually fierce rainy season this year. The recent bad weather has killed 55 people in Honduras, at least 40 in Nicaragua, nine in El Salvador and three in Costa Rica.
Worryingly, the downpours have come ahead of what is traditionally the worst part of the rainy season, which lasts until October 30.
