Last week I asked a question about live username availability. Paul Wilkins gave me some useful links which I have working now, But at the same time I still need to check if no fields are empty when the form is submitted and I am realy struggling to make this work. I have been looking for tutorials and/or examples of a combination of those two (Form Validation and Live email check) but couldn't find any. So what I basically need is a function for three fields (name, username and password). None of the fields should be empty and the email field should be checked against values from the database!
Does anyone know of a good example or tutorial where those 2 functionalities are combined.
Thank you in advance!
Hi donboe,
I don't know of any tutorials, but it shouldn't be too hard to put this together ourselves.
Do you have an example form with the appropriate fields?
Hi Pullo. Thank you fot thr reaction The fields involved are: Name, Profile name, username, password, city and Province. I realy hope you can help me out. This is driving me insane over the last couple of days. I have tried a lot of things but nothing was working as I had hoped for. Thank you in advance
I meant can you provide the HTML for the form
jQuery's validation plugin makes it easy for such validation to occur. You can also add custom validation methods, so that the ajax request about checking the email can be done too.
The documentation at http://jqueryvalidation.org/documentation/ gives a good start on things.
Hi Pullo. This is the html for the form:
<form method="post" action="" id="registratie_form" class="registratie" format="html" preservedata="yes">

Naam:<input type="text" name="naam" id="naam" class="textfield">

Profiel naam:<input name="gebruikersnaam" id="gebruikersnaam" type="text" class="textfield" >

Email:<input name="username" id="username" type="text" class="textfield">

Wachtwoord:<input name="wachtwoord" id="wachtwoord" type="password" class="textfield">

Woonplaats:<input name="woonplaats" id="woonplaats" type="text" class="textfield" >

Provincie:<select name="reg_provincie" class="selectfield">
<option value="0">Maak een keus</option>
<option value="1">Drente</option>
<option value="2">Flevoland</option>
<option value="3">Friesland</option>
<option value="">...........</option>
<option value="12">Zuidholland</option>

Geboorte datum:<input name="dag" id="dag" type="text" class="geboortefield" maxlength="2" placeholder="dd"><input name="maand" id="maand" type="text" class="geboortefield" maxlength="2" placeholder="mm"><input name="jaar" id="jaar" type="text" class="geboortefield" maxlength="4" placeholder="yyyy">

<input name="submit" type="submit" value="verzenden" oclass="button">
@Paul. I have been looking into that. But I find it very complicated to comine the different things
Okay, well here's a nice and simple example with the email field.
Email:<input name="email" id="email" type="text" class="textfield">
No change there.
The validate method needs jQuery, so you can use and external CDN to retrieve the scripts or you can host them yourself.

A standard way to say that the email is required, is as follows:
rules: {
required: true,
email: true
We're wanting something extra though. When someone has entered their email, we want to do a special check to see if that email already exists, We can use the PHP code to check if the email already exists:
rules: {
email: {
required: true,
email: true,
remote: 'check-email.php'
Details about the remote check can be found at the remote method documentation page.
Do you have to specify required: true for the email field?
required: true
Wouldn't it be better to put the required attribute in the input field so:
<input name="email" id="email" type="text" class="textfield" required>
That way if a user has JS turned off, but a HTML5 compliant browser, they will still be asked to enter a value into the field.
Yes, using the inline attribute is a better option when dealing with required, but I've found that it can get tricky to explain the details of which types of validation terms are accepted as inline tag attributes, when those details differ from the set documentation.
Given that though, the following is a preferred way to deal with things, where required is in the HTML code:
Email:<input name="email" id="email" type="text" class="textfield" required>
rules: {
email: {
email: true,
remote: 'check-email.php'
Hi Paul and Pullo. Thank you both for your input. Still this is the live email check, where I need the email check in combination with the normal validation. And that is the point where I get stucked. Ok I know I can use this rule:
rules: {
email: {
required: true,
email: true,
remote: 'check-email.php'
\for the other form fields as well but where do I apply the actual insert into the database when the validation is ok?
On the server when the client-side validation passes and the form submits, I would say.
Indeed - the form tag has an action attribute, which contains the PHP file that the form gets submitted to.
Do not just blindly assume that the form contents are going to be good though. There are several reasons for why scripting won't end up checking the form, so always validate the form's contents from the server side too.
The rule of thumb is to always validate from the server-side, and to use client-side validation where practical to provide a better user experience.
Hi Paul and Pullo. I am nearly there with the Validation. Thank you both for the input, but I am a bit struggling with the remote file (remote: 'check-email.php') This is what I have in the function:
rules: {
email: {
required: true,
email: true,
remote: "modules/site/check-email.php"
messages: {
email: {
required: "Vul uw email adres in.",
email: "Vul een geldig email adres in.",
remote: jQuery.validator.format("{0} is al in gebruik.")
And this is what I have in check-email.php:
if (!empty($_POST['email'])) {
$email = $mysqli->real_escape_string($_POST['email']);
$query = "SELECT email FROM profielen WHERE email = '{$email}' LIMIT 1;";
$results = $mysqli->query($query);
if($results->num_rows == 0) {
echo "true";
else {
echo "false";
else {
echo "false";
But no mather what email address I type in, I get the message that it is already in use. Even with email adresses that are not in the database. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you both in advance :tup:
For the purpose of testing, modify the PHP code to use $_GET instead, and test it manually with email@example.com
Can you get it to output true?
Hi Paul. Testing it that way it gives me true on a non existing email and false on a existing email. So what do I need to change?
Good, now use an ajax command to check a non-existing email. If you get "true" back as an answer, how long is that string of data? If JavaScript says that it's longer than 4 characters, then some PHP work needs to be done.
[ed: looking at the documentation takes us on a different track, see below]
I also see from the documentation that a GET request is made to the server when the check is made. That might go a long way towards helping to solve things.
I also see in the documentation that "The response is evaluated as JSON and must be true for valid elements", so it looks like the output from the PHP file needs to be as JSON data:
{email: "true"}
The easiest way to do this properly is by using http://www.php.net//manual/en/function.json-encode.php
Hi Paul. Sorry for maybe a stupid question But what kind of ajax command and where and how? I know a little bit of java but this is completely new to me
Edit: Just to test it I left it on GET and now it is working it seems
Here is an example taken from jquery's documentation page at http://api.jquery.com/jquery.get/
$.get( "test.cgi", { name: "John", time: "2pm" } )
.done(function( data ) {
alert( "Data Loaded: " + data );
Modifying that for your particular situation is child's play, and gives:
$.get( "check-email.php", { email: "email@example.com" } )
.done(function( data ) {
alert( "Data Loaded: " + data );

On Sunday I grilled a chicken on the rotisserie but I changed things up a bit.
I started by roasting some garlic Saturday night and for some additional flavor I inserted a rosemary leaf into each clove.
The chicken was a little under 4 pounds and I salted the meat earlier in the day so that I wouldn't need to worry about salting the garlic paste.
After putting the paste under the skin I let the chicken air-dry in the fridge overnight. Kinda looks like somebody sat on it!
It took about 90 minutes to cook at 350-375 and I didn't use any wood, just lump charcoal. Since it was Sunday I put a little extra effort into the meal and added baked potatoes and some steamed cauliflower with cheese.
If I had used that much fresh garlic and rosemary the flavor would've been overpowering but since I roasted them first it was much mellower and not at all harsh, and there were none of garlic's well-known aftereffects. I've been putting the leftover meat into pita pockets spread with mayo and they've been excellent.

|Embryology: Branchial arch
|Schematic of developing fetus with first, second and third arches labeled.
|Floor of pharynx of human embryo about twenty-six days old.
|subject #13 65
|Carnegie stage
|Gives rise to
In the development of vertebrate animals, the pharyngeal arches (also called branchial arches or gill arches in fish) develop during the fourth and fifth week in utero as a series of mesodermal outpouchings on the left and right sides of the developing pharynx. In fish, the branchial arches give rise to gills.
These grow and join in the ventral midline. The first arch, as the first to form, separates the mouth pit or stomodeum from the pericardium. By differential growth the neck elongates and new arches form, so the pharynx has six arches ultimately.
Each pharyngeal arch has a cartilaginous bar, a muscle component which differentiates from the cartilagenous tissue, an artery, and a cranial nerve. Each of these is surrounded by Mesenchyme. Arches do not develop simultaneously, but instead possess a "staggered" development.
Pharyngeal or branchial pouches form on the endodermal side between the arches, and pharyngeal grooves (or clefts) form from the lateral ectodermal surface of the neck region to separate the arches. [1]
The pouches line up with the clefts, and these thin segments become gills in fish.
In mammals the endoderm and ectoderm not only remain intact, but continue to be separated by a mesoderm layer.
Specific archesEdit
There are six pharyngeal arches, but in humans the fifth arch only exists transiently during embryologic growth and development. Since no human structures result from the fifth arch, the arches in humans are I, II, III, IV, and VI. [2]
More is known about the fate of the first arch than the remaining four. The first three contribute to structures above the larynx, while the last two contribute to the larynx and trachea.
Use in stagingEdit
The development of the pharyngeal arches provide a useful morphological landmark with which to establish the precise stage of embryonic development. Their formation and development corresponds to Carnegie stages 10 to 16 in mammals, and Hamburger-Hamilton stages 14 to 28 in the chicken.

I know RPS is the very most modest, professional, and unselfish of internet magazines, and I respect that; but I'd have no problem with at least a little more trumpeting of the release of Sir, You Are Being Hunted. I had no idea it was being released until I saw it on GoG today.

Dear RPS team,
A somewhat recently joined constant reader of your works would like to propose a functional improvement.
You see, I love reading good articles on this site, and there are tons hidden inside the old archives, I believe. But I'm also lazy, so... By any chance, is it possible to apply to the site menu the "random dice roll" button that randomly picks up an article from any month and year (including 1999) to show?
Maybe that's excessive, but I know from my experience that "random page" thing with its cave-exploration mental value works so well for Wikipedia browsing at slow parts of week, and picking up the month from archive menu just doesn't feel that random.
Thank you.

We used to have a thingy which did just that, but turned out it killed our servers and was making the site slow for everyone. I do miss it though - if/when we get around to tarting up the site up generally it's something to think about attempting again.Peace through tyranny

I realised today that my first website for all things PC-gaming does not at all cover anything related to The Sims. Given that it is one of the biggest PC-only (except for a couple of spin-offs) with a rather big community, including a huge group of moddern, that struck me as a bit of a surprise.
Is it due to no RPS writer being into that kind of game? Is it because the game's demographic, usually considered to be more female than average, does not overlap well with RPS readers in general, or something else?
I would say its because of none of the writers actually play the game.
Also, the sims IS covered, just very sparsely. Personally, Id rather see more stories on the Sims than on Eve, but hey, tastes differ and all that.- Tom De Roeck.

Yeah they do show Sims stuff, but in truth none of the staff are really into Sims. Same as none of them are into Foot-to-ball either.

I set up an account pretty much solely to express my disgust at Graham Smith's disingenuous hatchet job on Watch_Dogs. Even before I played the game, I thought the sincerity of the review was suspect; like too much emphasis was placed on the negative, or that too much negativity was being mined from fairly minor problems. Then as I played the game I could barely recognize it as the game Smith had reviewed. I did a point by point 'rebuttal' elsewhere, which I reproduce here with some tweaks. Apologies, btw, if this isn't the right folder/thread for criticism.
It seems Smith clearly had an ax to grind with Ubisoft, or maybe a couple of analogies he was fond of and was eager to use, even though they seem to basically contradict each other (the first (the crisps mutli-pack analogy) calls the game stale and vacuous, the second '90% magical').
First some of the churlishness:
I could have hacked open any of those gates, but I found a fourth way: a maintenance workers mobile lift, which could be hacked to lift me up to the rooftop of an adjacent building. I am using the word hacked here but really I pressed Q to make the lift raise. I used it.
You can only hack use whats within range. From my rooftop vantage I was able to hack use a camera, and then effectively hop from one to the next and get close to whatever I needed to within the area. I marked each of the enemies on my minimap, turned off the ability for two of the guards to call in reinforcements, and pressed use on the guard who my phone told me had the server access code. I then dropped down into the yard.
He crosses out 'hack' in the review and puts 'use' instead: Why? What is the point being made here? The obvious reason it's called 'hack' rather than 'use' is because it's specifically for manipulating electronic equipment in your surroundings with a computer (your phone). I really don't know what point he's trying to make here, or even if he does, except maybe that he hates modern video games. This is just mean-spirited pedantry disguised as criticism.
From here, I tended to take it stealthily. Hitting a button sticks you to a nearby piece of cover, and you continue to use that to carefully skirt around corners, sprint across open spaces and remain unseen. Get close enough to an enemy and you can perform a swift take down move. Chain these moves together, get inside that server room, and your reward is a Pipemania-with-a-twist minigame, but even this relatively simple performance feels great, and the escape back out into the open world can be exhilarating.
But this is not how it goes. Here is how it goes: you press hack to use the camera under your crosshair, but at that moment the games predictive targeting decides youre actually looking at a guard in the middle distance. The guard explodes, because you hacked his grenade. Everyone on the level is now alerted.
His whole criticism here boils down to his not liking the game's 'predictive targeting'. But it's only predictive if it's not used autonomously i.e. you don't move the camera to target the thing you want. Note the use of the present tense here, as if this characterizes the whole of Watch Dog's game play. I think I fucked up once in a way similar to that described here, and that's only because I decided not to bother checking what was targeted before hacking. The game didn't decide anything. Maybe this is an issue with the keyboard/mouse controls, where the camera and hence targeting is more fiddly. If so he's not made that clear here. Speaking of controls:
You press C to move behind a pillar, but in your haste didnt have time to deal with the fiddly targeting here, either. You hide on the wrong side of the pillar, are too stuck to it to quickly disengage, and are spotted by a guard or six who begin firing at you.
Haven't played with the PC controls but if I was a games journo/critic, I imagine I'd feel an obligation to in order to produce a well-informed review. You would think such a consideration re. a controller might make a claim on Graham Smith, especially since the stuff about the supposedly dodgy controls is probably the most damning part of his review, and even more especially because this is a multiplatform game in a genre for which a controller is near enough prerequisite. The controls work absolutely fine with an Xbox controller; literally none of the issues enumerated here are relevant to the game played with one. To fail to even mention how the game plays with a controller is shocking negligence on his part.
This is Watch underscore Dogs missions at their best.
What do they look like at their worst? Forced stealth missions in which being spotted is an instant fail, turning misinterpreted controls into a tedious roulette.
These are mandatory stealth parts - not everyone's cup of tea, but they're brief and very infrequent. But notice he's not criticizing that necessarily; just belaboring his point about the controls again. Try a f**king controller.
Maybe any mission involving a helicopter chase. I have an unlocked ability which allows me to scramble those for 30 seconds, stopping their pursuit. Unfortunately I cant angle the camera up steeply enough to see helicopters while driving, swimming or running, and standing perfectly still so I can crane my neck skyward exposes me to fire from its high-powered sniper rifle.
All the hacking in this game is done by targeting. He presumably wants an exception when it comes to helicopters so that when one is pursuing him, he just has to push a button to disable it. I'm sure he'd have nothing negative to say if that were the case. The whole point of a helicopter is that it's awkward to evade. But even so, it's really not that difficult and you can quite easily hack a helicopter at least whilst you're running. Of course it's harder whilst you're driving, as it should be. It would be ridiculous if it wasn't. I'm going to infer that this is yet another tributary to his main gripe about the controls again, because I really can't see from playing it with a controller why he had such difficulty here.
Maybe just every mission, in which the environment is designed both restrictively and inconsistently. On one mission I arrived, saw the tower block which lay before me, and decided a sniper rifle would be a fun approach. I figured I could buy one from a nearby gun shop, so I hopped back in my car and sped off. When I reached an invisible boundary, the game yelled at me for leaving the mission area, failed the mission, and reloaded me back to the outskirts of the gangs base I was to infiltrate. My car was now gone, as if as punishment for daring to deviate.
All missions are necessarily restrictive, otherwise they wouldn't be missions; it would just be the sandbox. He couldn't buy a sniper rifle because the mission had started. He could, however, have bought one beforehand. When you leave a mission area (and apart from to buy guns, etc. which you should already have got beforehand, there's no reason to), you are warned and given time to re-enter. Is that really so terribly restrictive? Or am I right in thinking this is just petulant whining about nothing?
On another mission set inside an abandoned, cargo container-filled warehouse lot, you rely on Aidens climbing and jumping in order to reach your destination. Hes less nimble than Ezio, but your movement is similarly prescriptive: you can only jump at ledges where theres something to grab, for example. In this warehouse lot, some cargo containers can be climbed upon. Some cant. These two types are not visually distinct. In one area you need to bypass an unclimbable fence; you might think that a set of stacked boxes which lead up to its height would be the perfect way across, but your inability to jump an inch forward without the games say-so will see you stymied at the top.
It took me all of 2 minutes during the first of one of these missions to distinguish between climbable objects and those which aren't. Basically everything lower than you or slightly higher can be climbed unless it's lined with spikes or barbed wire. Really don't know how he's found cause for complaint here. I will concede something to him about the inability to jump across narrow gaps - it does feel a bit jarring when you first discover this. But then you know you can't do that and don't worry about it any more.
At least he's positive about the multiplayer, which is indeed brilliant. But that's not going to overshadow his last bon mot, a devastating call-back to his crisps analogy of which he's obviously as enamored as his underscore gibe:
Fuck underscore that. When the world is full of pickled onion Monster Munch, dont settle for less.
In conclusion, a petty, under-informed and very mean-spirited review.
Yes, he didnt like it. Doesnt mean he didnt truly feel that way, since that usually the point of a hatchet job; to exaggerate for some kind of gain.
And to be fair, Q is just "remote using". Not that it detracts from the game, I actually liked it. But it is more magic remote than omg hax.- Tom De Roeck.

EDIT: OK I'm not saying he didn't genuinely dislike it; just that he played it with the expectation that he'd dislike it, and clearly made no effort to challenge that expectation. I mean if he was having such a problem with the keyboard controls, and was going to take the game to task so much for it, how the hell didn't he feel duty-bound as a reviewer to try it with a controller? It's unbelievable.

THE Culture Secretary has opened a dynamic arts festival, declaring it as something "for everyone".
Bromsgrove Festival was launched by Sajid Javid, the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport and MP for the town, who highlighted the importance of the social and intrinsic value of the arts during his speech to more than 100 guests at the Artrix.
The acts who performed to the crowd included Fairfield Folk, the Orchestra of St John, Bromsgrove Operatic Society and the Blackwell Concert Band.
Mr Javid said: "I understand the value of culture and arts to not just the whole community but to our whole society. I'm not talking about the economic value, although that's important, but the social and intrinsic of the arts; the way it brings communities together."
The Culture Secretary also paid tribute to Mary White, the previous organiser of the festival, and praised the new organising committee for broadening its appeal.
Mr Javid added: "As well as keeping all the best things from past festivals, they've added other dimensions to it such as jazz, pop, spoken word and art and really broadened its appeal.
"So this festival isn't just for the people of Bromsgrove but a festival for everyone, in the region and beyond."
The official opening gala took place on Saturday, June 14 and the festival will run until Sunday, July 20.

I say the dajjal has come. They say, "where do you get that idea from?" The dajjal has made the Islamic world captive. They are spitting blood and giving Muslims no peace. If Muslims raise their heads the tiniest bit they are beaten bloody. That is how it generally is, a dictatorship or a state of emergency, people wielding batons. And Hazrat Mahdi (as) not appearing just reinforces these things. Allah shows Hazrat Mahdi (as) to those who need him. To those who cannot live without him. Allah shows that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is a basic need, like bread or water.

Did you know?
The endangered Knysa seahorse, at only 7cm long, is one of the smallest in the world.
Scuba diving in Knysna is a great adventure for anyone interested in shipwrecks. The Paquita, a German vessel, sank on the eastern side of the Knysna Heads way back in 1903.
The wreck, which is easily accessible to qualified divers, remains in excellent condition. Its iron plates still glimmer brightly and its anchors are clearly visible, despite sitting at the bottom of the ocean for over a century.
Various dive operators offer both day and night dives at this site and they're highly recommended by those in the know.
According to various sources, the sinking of the Paquita was premeditated – an apparent attempt to bamboozle insurance brokers. Because the ship sank in the calmer section of the lagoon, far from the more dangerous port entrance where strong currents could genuinely cause sailing difficulty, the insurance company concerned did not pay out.
Divers exploring the Paquita wreck can go as far as 16m below the surface. The visibility of the water at the site is graded as moderate, with divers able to see up to 10m in any direction.
In addition to the wreck, divers will experience a variety of marine life, such as monster-size garrick (also known as leerfish), small sharks, cuttlefish and an assortment of colourful sea anemones. There is even a chance of spotting the rare Knysna seahorse, believed to be the most endangered variety of seahorse on the planet and indigenous to the Knysna Lagoon.
The Knysna Tourism Association can recommend dive operators who will provide equipment and qualified dive guides.

Man tried to rob home jewelry party, Lake City police say
Published: Sunday, January 27, 2013 at 7:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 27, 2013 at 7:16 p.m.
A Lake City man was arrested Friday after police say he invaded a home and threatened a group of 15 women at a jewelry party with a handgun.
Derick Jeremy Lee, 24, of 864 NW Thetis Place, is suspected by police to have entered the home around 7:45 p.m. on Friday during a home party for Premiere Jewelry. Lee was wearing dark clothing from head to toe, including a dark bandana and dark ski cap, according to a Lake City Police Department report.
Lee pointed the handgun at the women in the home on SW Lakeview Avenue and told them to hand over their money and phones, police said. Then he threw a black bag on the ground.
Police said one woman thought he was joking and pushed Lee's hand away, saying the gun was only a water pistol. Lee said he was not joking and threatened to shoot someone. He pointed the gun at one woman's left temple and then at several other women.
The owner of home told the man to leave "in the name of Jesus," police reported. Other women in the home followed her lead and began yelling the name, "Jesus." The women told police that Lee stood in the house for a few more seconds and then ran out, empty-handed.
A short time later, a separate robbery attempt was reported at the Bank of America ATM at 355 SW Bentley Place.
A 62-year-old woman told police that a gunman wearing all dark clothing, a dark ski cap and a dark bandana approached her from behind while she was walking to her vehicle and demanded that she give him her money. She told police that she yelled at the man, who then ran toward SW Main Blvd.
K-9 officers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission attempted to track the suspect, but were unsuccessful. Because of the proximity, timeframe and similar clothing descriptions, Lee is being investigated as a suspect for both crimes.
At 11:17 p.m., officers located Lee at his residence, two blocks from the jewelry party. Lee was arrested and booked at Columbia County Detention Center on a $200,000 bond on charges of home invasion and robbery.

DETROIT - The trial date for a Nigerian man accused of trying to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner will be Oct. 4.
It's been 14 months since Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was accused of trying to ignite an explosive in his underwear on Northwest Airlines Flight 253 from Amsterdam, with nearly 300 people aboard.
Abdulmutallab is charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and conspiring with others to kill. U.S investigators believe he received training and instructions from al-Qaida operatives in Yemen, beginning in August 2009.
Law enforcement officials believe Abdulmutallab tried to ignite a two-part concoction of the highly explosive PETN and possibly a glycol-based liquid explosive that was hidden in his underwear. It set off popping sounds, smoke and some fire, but it didn't detonate. Passengers and crew rushed to subdue Abdulmutallab and extinguish the flames.
Federal Judge Nancy Edmunds set the trial date for Abdulmutallab during a Tuesday hearing.
He had asked to skip the hearing, but Edmunds said he must appear as long as he's acting as his own lawyer.
Despite Edmunds spending nearly 15 minutes trying to convince Abdulmutallab to accept the court attorney -- Anthony Chambers -- who is informally advising him on a full-time basis, the 24-year-old said he wanted to continue representing himself.
He has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.
Wearing a white shirt and orange pants, Abdulmutallab asked that he be allowed to see a confidential government case file of statements and other evidence to show Chambers.
Edmunds told Abdulmutallab that others would then seek disclosure, which would not help his defense.
"For now, it's a better option for me to review by myself. If something changes, I'll let you know," Abdulmutallab then told the judge.
She said he would be given the file next week.
Chambers said he's on good terms with Abdulmutallab and is not sure why he won't accept his counsel.

By Angie Hicks Live Smart
Erika Schweickert of Capital City Solar in Rocklin, Calif., has seen a surge the past couple of years in customers interested in investing in solar energy systems for their homes.
They're not investing thousands of dollars into solar systems because it's chic to be green; they're doing it because it makes good financial sense.
A solar energy system can significantly reduce — and in some cases eliminate — your monthly electric bills. Photovoltaic, or PV, solar systems, work by converting sunlight that hits solar panels on the roof directly into electricity through an inverter attached to the house.
"Some people do it to be green, but 90 percent of our customers are doing it because of the financial payback," Schweickert said. "They see the greater return on investment in putting their money in solar than they do in putting it in the stock market or something. You can be green and also make a wise investment."
Kent Crook has spent 30 years working as an electrician as the owner of Wiremasters Electric Inc. in Miami, but for the past five years has built a business as Mr-Solar LLC. He's sold on solar as a solution to our dependence on fossil fuels.
"It's going to change the way we live," Crook said. "We've got to do something with foreign fuel, with the carbon we put in the air. I feel solar is not the (only) solution, but it's one of the solutions to help with these things."
Solar systems have become much more affordable in recent years. Photovoltaic prices are determined by watts, with the national average about $3 a watt, nearly half of what it was in 2010. Add to that a 30 percent federal tax credit available for residential solar panel installation good through 2016, plus a variety of rebates and incentives offered from local utilities, and it makes the investment significantly less.
Systems can range in price from a few thousand dollars to $50,000 before credits, incentives and rebates kick in, depending on the manufacturer and how many panels are installed.
"There's not a better time than now to put it in," Crook said.
In most states, homeowners with solar photovoltaic systems can sell back extra energy they don't use to their local utility companies.
Called "net metering," customers earn credits for excess solar energy sent to the utility provider's electrical grid from their house. An Indianapolis couple reported on Angie's List that their bills averaged about $20 a month after adding panels to their home.
With the cost of electricity only rising, investing in solar panels now is a way of investing in the future.
The number of panels a homeowner needs depends on their energy consumption and the amount of daylight the home receives. Ideally, panels should be installed on the south-facing side of the house.
Panels require minimal maintenance. Schweickert recommends an annual cleaning and inspection. Most panels have 25-year warranties and are designed to last at least that long.
If you're thinking about adding a solar system, be sure to research the products and installers before you invest. One reason prices have fallen is because of a glut of manufacturers producing the products. Both Schweickert and Crook said quality of the panels can vary greatly, as can the quality of the installer.
"Make sure you go with a company that has a licensed electrician on staff and that has a good amount of solar installations under their belt," Schweickert said.
"We see in our area companies that do HVAC, or windows and doors, or roofers, that now also do solar. It's a whole industry in itself. Just make sure they have a level of experience behind them."

The Seattle School District had owned a piece of land on 39th Avenue West and West Dravus Street since 1929 for an intended high school; however, this meeting prompted them to decide on an elementary school instead, and Briarcliff was born.
Nile Thompson and Carolyn Marr outline the early years of Briarcliff in their essay on Historylink.org. Specifically, they discuss the innovative design of the new school; each classroom would be a portable unit that was transportable, based on demand from existing schools in the district. This was touted at the "first of its kind in the country."
Manpower was still short due to World War II, so progress proceeded slowly.
When it opened in September 1948, the building was still not finished, and students were even sent home twice that first school year: once because of furnace failure, and another time because of sewer failure.
In 1951, Briarcliff became an independent school all its own, with kindergarten through sixth grade; it had served as an annex to other Magnolia schools prior. It featured 10 classrooms, an auditorium, a cafeteria and a covered play court; however, it still possessed its glued-together, temporary feel. This design did offer one benefit: individual exits in each classroom. This would allow for better escape should it be needed during emergencies.
In Aleua Frare's work "Magnolia Yesterday and Today," the author mentions various activities of the Briarcliff PTA in the 1950s, '60s and '70s. They hosted family dinners, as well as "Fathers' Follies" in the auditorium as fundraisers.
Thompson and Marr discuss Briarcliff's international connections: In the late 1950s, flowering cherry-blossom trees were planted on school grounds in honor of Japanese Briarcliff students whose fathers served as consul-generals of Japan in Seattle.
The school district instituted a desegregation policy in 1978, and students were bused across town from recently closed Hawthorne School. One staff member transferred there as well, and the school and PTA were renamed Briarcliff-Hawthorne.
Briarcliff School was closed in 1984, the same year as Magnolia School on the eastern hill (building still extant). This was part of a district-wide consolidation policy.
It served as a temporary school district site in 1987-89, but thereafter was used only for school-district storage.
Over time, the site deteriorated, and people became concerned with its state. According to Monica Wooton's essay "A Certain Clout: The Magnolia Community Club" in "Magnolia: Memories and Milestones," the late Lindsay Brown (lawyer, mother and member of the Magnolia Community Club) raised concerns over rats and graffiti.
No doubt, in the 1990s and early 2000s, it became an outdoor refuge for bored high school kids to participate in unsavory activities on lazy summer nights. Briarcliff and its environs became a sort of makeshift park for people to walk their dogs through, complete with concrete basketball courts, spider-webbed with weed-strewn cracks.
In 2003, Bellevue-based Lexington Fine Homes purchased the 4 1/2 acres of land from the Seattle School Board for $7.3 million, and the school building was soon demolished.
The buyer's plan to divide the land into 39 lots would prove to be controversial. On its website Lexington Fine Homes discussed the potential for the site: "Briarcliff is special because it is being designed to emulate the older neighborhood character and scale of the grand Magnolia houses built in the early 20th century. Our goal is to create a community that blends in and enhances the existing neighborhood."
In spite of the developer's promise to keep the housing consistent with the character of Magnolia, Briarcliff's neighbors were unimpressed and disagreed with the design proposal. Their contention was that the housing was far too dense and would cause overcrowding in the area.
More than 120 Magnolians voiced their opposition at a hearing at Catharine Blaine school in July 2004. Magnolia residents and fellow lawyers Nick and Michele Marchi led the opposition.
"Nobody is against development there," said Nick Marchi, in a Seattle Times story published Aug. 23, 2004."We're just against the amount of houses they are trying to ram down our throats."
Magnolia Action Group's website called the Lexington Fine Homes development a "cluster-housing, planned development."
There were worries that traffic would become congested around the tight corners of the proposed roads, as well as outlets to Dravus Street. Construction was held up due to these complains, but after a few years, it finally commenced.
The land was graded, and in early 2009, roads were paved though the site.
Most significantly, 39th Avenue, which had been a dead-end on the south side of Briarcliff, was connected to its northern end.
In 2012, after only three houses had been built, CamWest, another Eastside developer, purchased the 36 empty properties. CamWest paid $400,000 for each parcel, totaling $14 million.
The company is currently developing Briarcliff one house at a time and selling them in the $1 million range. Its website advertises views of the Seattle skyline, access to Discovery Park, as well as the close proximity to downtown and up-and-coming South Lake Union.
With most of the land still undeveloped, only time will tell if the houses will blend into their surrounding community.

Everyone knows what Syria is doing is unconscionable. What should be done is to reflect with a normal conscience. They say so many children have died of hunger and thirst. They collect aid for them. Some give 1 billion, and others 2. Money is fine, give that, but nobody says a word about wanting Turkish-Islamic Union. You give money, but what is wrong with saying that, too? You must say that Turkish-Islamic Union must rule, but the wickedness in Egypt and Syria will not end throughcollecting money alone. China is preparing another major plan for our brothers in East Turkestan. Everywhere will be lovely and calm if we have Turkish-Islamic Union. China could not perpetrate that oppression in East Turkestan. They are intimidating people for nothing on this. Turkish-Islamic Union means people being peaceful and happy, and end to arms and the dominion of brotherhood. They say America would oppose it. But everyone wants such one, America and Russia. It is not a fascist-type union, but one based on friendship and brotherhood. They seek a solution to terror and the PKK. There are 100 diseases but the cure is the same. The whole world is now sick. They can all be treated with a single drug. All 100 diseases will disappear when we have Turkish-Islamic Union. Sick people will leave their beds and start running around. They are trying to treat all patients, who are seriously sick each in a separate way. But under Turkish-Islamic Union the sick will rise up, happy and laughing, and that will be that. That is what I want.
There is nothing else to worry about. There is nothing complex here. They talk about the variety of disasters all day long. Think of a fire zone. You have 10 tons of water. Pour that over it and the fire will go out. Turkish-Islamic Union is like water. It both cleans and extinguishes. Simple as that.
They imagine it comes from Mr. Tayyip Erdoğan alone. It stems from the way of the Mahdi. Mr. Erdoğan is a normal guy from Anatolia. He knows that himself. The real cause is the way of the Mahdi. There is a special grace in Turkey. Allah protects it. That is the fact of the matter. Otherwise, even the richest countries in the world are heading for bankruptcy. They have geniuses working for them, but they are still collapsing. But ours is the prosperity of being a devout nation and the way of the Mahdi.
All systems will change. People imagine it will always stay the same. No. They will all change in a manner pleasing to people. The religion of Muhammad (saas) will rule the world, insha'Allah.
America, Russia, China and the rest are in an arms race. When we have Turkish-Islamic Union it will say, "Stop this arms race. We have excellent weapons and an excellent army. An army of 30 million. We can do anything if we so wish. But we do not. You must not, and neither will we. The bloodshed must cease. This arms race must stop. Let us agree to give the money you would spend on arms to the poor and hungry in the world. Let us pay for drugs, food, shelter, hygiene and all their needs from these funds. First we will reduce it by half, then by half again." That will be that. Then we will have paradise on earth. Otherwise, this evil will never stop. Look, America is on the verge of bankruptcy. They invest 60% of the money they receive in arms. How can you invest in killing people? Invest in keeping them alive, instead! Invest your money in love, brotherhood, happiness, festivals, art and science. How can you invest it in oppression? Let's build a bomb to evaporate people! Then someone else says, instead of evaporating them, let's make a bomb to ionize them! Let's build a bomb that explodes inside the building and pulls their lungs out! Instead of spending time on cruelty like that, build a system that will keep people alive, that will ensure people's happiness, ease and joy and the approval of Allah. They do whatever satan says. Islamic Union is essential to put an end to satan's dominion. The way of the Mahdi is essential. Jesus the Messiah is essential. They must not try and resist them. They must surrender themselves to the way of the Mahdi, to Jesus the Messiah, and that will be an end of it. Is it up to them? No, it will happen anyway. I am saying this to make a historical point. But it will happen whether they want it or not. But it is important to add a footnote to history, because my words are recorded. You will see that what I say happens. We will leave no arms in this world. All materials for shedding blood will be eradicated. We will abolish all systems intended for killing.
These will gradually accumulate and produce a superb image, insha'Allah; it will turn into an excellent force, an excellent impact. We want A9 to be the biggest and strongest TV channel, insha'Allah. Our brothers must work hard. It will appear as an excellent manifestation. People will see what I mean in 5-10 years' time, with no need for me to describe it.
Pick up the phone, press the button and send 7 lira, it says. That is no good. It will not do it. Do you know how long it will take to resolve it when we have Turkish-Islamic Union? Three days at most. Nowhere will be without food within 72 hours. Everywhere will be full of plenty. Give money from here and there, load it onto boats… some of it will get there and some won't; it cannot be resolved like that. Who are you going to send it to? Afghanistan is wretched, Pakistan is wretched, many places in southeast Turkey are wretched. Many places in Turkey are wretched.
Look at the price of a Katushya rocket, a missile. They spend millions. A powerful rocket costs trillions. That money should go to the poor instead. Simple as that. A family could eat for a month on the money it costs to buy a rifle. Or a week. The money spent on bullets, mines, ground to air missiles and bombs should go to them, instead. If they really love their weapons, let's reduce it by half to start with. Let us hand out the other half. Take America; imagine it has set aside $1000; it can give $500 to the poor and spend the other $500 on arms. If it insists on weapons. Russia can halve the spending, as well. Halve it to start with. Then we can reduce it to a quarter and then do away with it entirely. Why do we need guns to kill people? You kill them by starvation on one hand and with weapons on the. Let us hand out food aplenty, love and beauty. We can even hand toys out to children, can't we? We can build lovely homes there, and whole districts. Let us turn Africa and Asia into a paradise. Why all this wretchedness? Is it so hard to say I want Turkish-Islamic Union? Would it take so much energy? Even if you find it hard, other people will do it. It is just one sentence; the Islamic community must say it. The Islamic world must say Turkish-Islamic Union. When they do, it will all be over.
71- Have they not seen how We created for them, by Our own handiwork, livestock which are under their control?
Allah says He created animals.
72- We have made them tame for them and some they ride and some they eat.
Allah says He has placed those animals at their command.
They ride them. And eat some of them.
73- And they have other uses for them, and milk to drink. So will they not be thankful?
Allah wants them to give thanks. How? By giving, by being grateful, by loving people, by stopping oppression and not inflicting suffering.
74- They have taken gods besides Allah so that perhaps they may be helped.
They take their earthly desires as gods, their own interests as gods.
75- They cannot help them [those deities] even though they are an army mobilised in their support.
For example, people make a god out of America. It will never allow it, they say. But I say Allah wants it. So do what Allah. What is America to you? Allah created America. "Will America allow it?" What matters is whether Allah wants it. So what if America wants it or not, if Allah desires it? Do it and don't worry about the rest. It is Allah Who created America. But they have made an idol out of it.
76-77 So do not let their words distress you. We know what they keep secret and what they divulge.
Does not man see that We created him from a drop yet there he is, an open antagonist!
They attack Muslims and other people, spreading persecution and terror.
Bediüzzaman had the same accent as our brothers in the southeast. He spoke very slowly and found it hard to express himself. He even had an assistant. But his language and dialect and speech all changed when he dictated. He dictated very fluently. He stopped when he said the curtain had lifted. Then he read it with amazement. Bediüzzaman was a metaphysical individual, not an ordinary human being.
One beautiful aspect of the End Times is that Muslims will love one another, help one another and be allied together. Muslims loving one another, protecting and watching out for one another, our struggle against materialism and Darwinism becoming irresistibly powerful, the kindness Muslims show us and we show our brothers… and our crushing superiority in the face of Marxism, Leninism, Darwinism and materialism are devastating the hypocrites. Allah is making them suffer. They are burning up, so awful is the pain. Thanks be to Allah, Muslims are coming to enjoy, ease, goodness, joy and beauty. Insha'Allah, it will be very good.

I can see how Siri can be useful, but how would maps be useful?
Actually I shouldn't even comment I'm still on 10.7.
When I bought my iPhone 4S, everyone wanted to use Siri. I honestly do not use Siri as I find it easier for me to just look up things myself. I mean it could be useful for some people, but I am not one of them. Now having Siri on OS X is something I won't like either as I most likely wont use it.
Apple Maps is just another add-on they don't really need to add. I have Apple Maps on my phone and that's good enough for me as I always have my phone on me. I'm not going to carry my macbook pro around to figure out where I'm going. Also no need to print out directions since I have a live GPS on my phone.
So in all, I don't think adding Siri and Apple Maps to 10.9 will be that much of an improvement.
More beta testing so then?
I would love siri on my Macbook. I could change movies without getting up when you chillin with a sexy lady you trying to impress. Send emails and surfing the web without pressing a key i hope. Maybe I love the hands free tweak in cydia.
Guys there isn't much point to maps but keep in mind people use google maps and earth all the time sometimes it's just fun.
Siri will be great since there's already dictation but being able to say commands like "open safari " "new window" etc. could actually prove more functionality then phone dictation etc.
Are you all forgetting that OSX already can open apps, get emails, save documents and a lot more by just speaking to your mac.
It's all in speakable items in the accessibility panel of the system preferences.
It's basically a simple version of Siri but local to your mac, which doesn't need an Internet connection to work.
You can all enable now, it's been on Apple Macs for at least 10 years!
And it customisable, you can make your own spoken commands and have your mac perform a task.
Granted its not as sophisticated as Siri but it can be useful.
Give it a go!

Location-Based Advertising Getting Higher Visibility
When one talks about the worldwide location industry, mobile resource management — fleets and trucks, for instance — aren't sexy at all, but they make money. What is supposed to be sexy is location-based advertising.

One Small Change: Avoid the Health Haloby Jason Machowsky in Healthy Tips, November 6, 2012
Just as the first impressions of a person can influence our perception of them far into the future, research shows the same can be said for the foods we eat. Once a food or restaurant is deemed "healthy", we tend to let our guard down and forget about the facts of what we are truly eating – a proverbial junk-food wolf in a nutritious sheep's clothing. This phenomenon for food has been dubbed the "health halo" effect.
You may have experienced a similar situation in another aspect of life: relationships. One of your friends may have become so smitten with one feature of a potential suitor (they're attractive or fun to be around) that they completely disregarded the ten other red flags about them (i.e. they're chronically late, don't have a job, quick to yell at others) even though everyone else, including you, clearly saw the inconsistencies. Don't let the same thing happen to you with the foods that you eat!
Here are a couple "seductive" labeling tactics that could lure you into eating foods that may just end up becoming a bad date for you and your waistline:
Low-Carb, Low-Fat or Trans-Fat Free
These labels are dangerous, because they mask the real issue: calories. Just because a food is labeled as low-carb, low-fat or trans-fat free does not necessarily make it low-calorie. Excess calories are what ultimately lead to weight gain, regardless of whether they are from carbs, fat, trans-fat or protein.
Why do most foods with "low-carb" and "low-fat" labels tend to have similar calories to their full-carb and fat versions? Taste. To make the foods tasty, companies may add in significant amounts of fat (for "low-carb" foods) or sugar (for "low-fat" foods) during the production process.
It goes beyond replacing one nutrient with the other (carbs vs. fat), the quality of the food itself can suffer as well. Added fats and sugars are rarely beneficial to us compared to the natural fats and sugars of foods like avocados and apples, which usually come along with health-promoting fiber, water, vitamins and minerals. So if the low-fat, low-carb or trans-fat free snacks taste processed or "too good to be true", they probably are.
Finally, research has shown that people tend to over-eat these seductively labeled foods because they think they're eating "healthier." You actually may have been better off (and more satisfied) by eating a smaller portion of a regular snack. That's how the French paradox has developed: you can eat rich foods and stay slender, as long as you eat them in moderation. Ultimately it's the total calories that matter.
All-Natural and Organic
All-natural is a "feel good" phrase. It sounds nice and looks great on paper (or packages). Unfortunately from a health or calorie perspective, it means absolutely nothing. There are very few regulations regarding the use of the term "natural", so pretty much any pastry made from flour, butter and sugar can be called natural. Even many sugar-laden cereals are deemed natural. An analogy I tell my clients about the natural label is: many illicit drugs are considered natural because they come from plants … would you consume them if they were suddenly labeled "all-natural"?
The term organic grew out of a way to differentiate how certain fruits and vegetables were treated during the growing and cultivation process (i.e. types of pesticides used). However, as the name caught on, food companies decided to capitalize on the health halo surrounding the term. Are organic cookies, chips or gummy bears really all that much healthier than non-organic ones? The answer can be up for debate (particularly due to the use of genetically modified organisms [GMO's]), but from a calorie intake and weight-gain comparison, the answer is typically no. You're probably getting a similar amount of sugar, fat and calories from either source. Furthermore, a 2011 Cornell study showed that people may underestimate the calories from these organic foods compared to their regular counterparts. Too much organic fat and organic sugar can still lead to obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Take Action: Don't be fooled by marketing; read the nutrient label and ingredient list of any packaged food labeled "low-fat", "low-carb", "natural", "all-natural" or "organic". If the low-fat or low-carb options are just as high in calories as the regular version, consider whether you'd be more satisfied by consuming a moderate amount of the regular. If the natural or organic foods are made with ingredients that you know aren't healthy, like saturated fats and added sugars, then having the ingredients in the form of an organic source won't help your waistline.
Have you had any recent health halo realizations about the foods you're eating? Tell us!

LenovoEMC Teams with Acronis for NAS Backupby Ganesh T S on 9/19/2013 8:00 AM EST

Impulses - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkNot sure I'd wanna touch this given all the horror stories I've heard about somewhat recent Acronis TI versions... I thought about going to TI when I finally got tired of Ghost... I was happy with recent versions, they'd slowly added everything they dumped at one point, Symantec was just too slow in updating for Win 8 etc and I can't be bothered to reboot and do manual backups outside Windows. Anyway, even a small amount of research quickly scared me away from TI. Reply
Bob Todd - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkYou should be scared. I've owned a couple of versions of TI (both home and server). What was a solid product ~5 years ago has transformed into a buggy mess. There were basic features like being 'ssd aware' (alignment) that were supposed to come in updates and never did, then were supposed to come in the next full version and didn't make it then either. But that's all minor compared to how bug ridden the core features are now. You can try to do a restore with the image sitting locally on another disk, and it will fail. Attempt the restore again with the _exact same_ settings and it magically works. A company that can't even get a basic backup/restore working for simple home use scenarios should never be mentioned in the same breath as business or enterprise. I've played with most of the imaging solutions on the market and once I found EaseUS ToDo backup I've never looked back. It's an overused saying, but it "just works". And even the free version includes features like WinPE rescue media support (not advertised as being there but it is) that Acronis charged *extra* for with their Plus Pack on top of the ~$30 for the app. Caveat that I've only used ToDo in home network scenarios, but it's been rock solid. I wouldn't touch TI again with a ten foot pole. Reply
Impulses - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkYeah I switched to EaseUs too, been meaning to try Macrium Reflect and Paragon and a couple others I often hear about, but I've been happy with EaseUs so if it ain't broke... Reply
Bob Todd - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkFWIW, I tested both Macrium and Paragon when I was deciding what to use for the next X years (switching imaging solutions is a bit of a pain so I want something that will last). The free versions range from gimped to neutered. The free version of ToDo offers features that even the first pay tier of those products don't support, the most important being hardware independent restore. You aren't really missing anything. Reply
LauRoman - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkMy first thought was eww, Acronis. Their consumer series of software is really not that great especially their home and workstation backup and management tools. Reply
mandoman - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkI sincerely hope that lenovo will get someone to rewrite the Acronis user interface and manual. It's almost incomprehensible as of now forcing users in many cases to try out various backup scenarios and parameters to "see what happens" instead of finding out ahead of time via help files and manual!! Reply
HMTK - Tuesday, October 15, 2013 - linkEven their server products suck. It's impossible to make reliable backups with ABR 11.x Advanced Server or vmprotect. Support for Exchange 2010 took well over 2 years to arrive in ABR... Since the vast majority of our customers are 100% virtualized, we now use Veeam. For the odd physical server, we still sell ABR 11.5 which seems to have less issues running on a physival Windows machine than in a VM. Still, I don't trust it. And their support sucks. Reply

Celebrity Flashback: Victoria Beckham's Slightly Awkward Teen Modeling Photos
Long before she became Mrs. David Beckham, or even a Spice Girl, Victoria "Posh" Beckham was a teen model. Awkward celeb flashback photos ahead!
-Lucia Peters
She's been a Spice Girl, a fashion designer, a business woman, a wife, and a mom… but before all that, Victoria Beckham, formerly Adams, was a teen model. Are we surprised? Not so much, but we ARE pretty amused by the slightly awkward photos of her teenage modeling years that just surfaced on Retronaut. Take a peek!
These images are from 1992, when Posh was just a young, innocent 17-year-old. They're all kind of ridiculous, though this probably has more to do with the fact that for all intents and purposes, the early '90s were still the late '80s than with anything else. A photographer by the name of Geoff Marchant shot them, and boy, do they look like classic Glamour Shots or what?
Here's a selection of our favorite shots!

HOUSTON - Thousands of Houstonians lined the streets of Houston on Monday to honor and celebrate the late civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
From those who remember segregation to the newer generation, everyone came to remember what King did for the United States.
The Black Heritage Society's 35th Annual Original MLK Birthday Parade and Holiday Celebration kicked off on Texas and Jackson in downtown Houston at 10 a.m. The crowd cheered as marching bands and organizations from around the city and around the state marched through the streets.
In Midtown, floats and marching bands also kicked off the 19th Annual MLK Grande Parade, starting at San Jacinto and ending on Webster. This parade also began at 10 a.m.
MLK Day holds special meaning on this Monday, since it is also the second Presidential Inauguration of President Barack Obama, who is our first African-American president. It is something that may not have happened without the sacrifice and dedication of King.
Ovide Duncantell, the founder of the MLK Original Parade, said it is so important to educate children about the life and legacy of King.
"We have a lot of battles right now, but we are winning," said Duncantell.

Head 65 meters underground to the Underground Cold War Museum - a Stalinist-era Soviet Bunker that up until recently was a top secret symbol of Soviet Power. Cleverly hidden beneath an ordinary apartment building, on a busy street in the heart of Moscow, 18 floors below ground level, this mighty 75,000-square-foot facility was constructed covertly in the 1950's, to protect the select few against a US nuclear attack. Known as the Tagansky Underground Command Center, the site was in operation throughout the 1970s, with a staff of 2,500, of whom 1,500 could be on duty at any one time. In the event of a nuclear war, it would have been sealed, with enough stored food for three months and systems to purify the air. In the 1990's with the Cold War thawing and the death of communism, this bunker came off the top secret list and is now open to the public! Step back in time to the clandestine and tense era of the Cold War and enjoy an interactive tour of this bunker turned museum. Afterwards we will take the metro to view some of the most ornate of the metro stations built during the Stalinist era to showcase the might of Soviet Russia to the people all with an English speaking guide.
