Today we're announcing an update to CentOS Atomic Host (version 7.20151001), a lean operating system designed to run Docker containers, built from standard CentOS 7 RPMs, and tracking the component versions included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host.
CentOS Atomic Host is available as a VirtualBox or libvirt-formatted Vagrant box, or as an installable ISO, qcow2 or Amazon Machine image. These images are available for download at cloud.centos.org. The backing ostree repo is published to mirror.centos.org.
CentOS Atomic Host includes these core component versions:
If you're running a previous version of CentOS Atomic Host, you can upgrade to the current image by running the following command:
$ sudo atomic host upgrade
CentOS-Atomic-Host-7-Vagrant-Libvirt.box (389 MB) and CentOS-Atomic-Host-7-Vagrant-Virtualbox.box (400 MB) are Vagrant boxes for Libvirt and Virtualbox providers.
The easiest way to consume these images is via the Atlas / Vagrant Cloud setup (see https://atlas.hashicorp.com/centos/boxes/atomic-host. For example, getting the VirtualBox instance up would involve running the following two commands on a machine with vagrant installed:
vagrant init centos/atomic-host && vagrant up --provider virtualbox
The installer ISO (672 MB) can be used via regular install methods (PXE, CD, USB image, etc.) and uses the Anaconda installer to deliver the CentOS Atomic Host. This allows flexibility to control the install using kickstarts and define custom storage, networking and user accounts. This is the recommended process for getting CentOS Atomic Host onto bare metal machines, or to generate your own image sets for custom environments.
The CentOS-Atomic-Host-7-GenericCloud.qcow2 (393 MB) is suitable for use in on-premise and local virtualized environments. We test this on OpenStack, AWS and local Libvirt installs. If your virtualization platform does not provide its own cloud-init metadata source, you can create your own NoCloud iso image. The Generic Cloud image is also available compressed in gz format (391 MB) and xz compressed (390 MB).

The CentOS Atomic Host image follows the upstream Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host cadence. After sources are released, they're rebuilt and included in new images. After the images are tested by the SIG and deemed ready, we announce them.
CentOS Atomic Host is produced by the CentOS Atomic SIG, based on upstream work from Project Atomic. If you'd like to work on testing images, help with packaging, documentation — join us!
The SIG meets weekly on Thursdays at 16:00 UTC in the #centos-devel channel, and you'll often find us in #atomic and/or #centos-devel if you have questions. You can also join the atomic-devel mailing list if you'd like to discuss the direction of Project Atomic, its components, or have other questions.
If you run into any problems with the images or components, feel free to ask on the centos-devel mailing list.

Today we're releasing a significant update to the CentOS Atomic Host (version 7.20150908), a lean operating system designed to run Docker containers, built from standard CentOS 7 RPMs, and tracking the component versions included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host.
CentOS Atomic Host is available as a VirtualBox or libvirt-formatted Vagrant box, as an installable ISO image, as a qcow2 image, or as an Amazon Machine Image. These images are available for download at cloud.centos.org. The backing ostree repo is published to mirror.centos.org.
Currently, the CentOS Atomic Host includes these core component versions:
If you're running the version of CentOS Atomic Host that shipped in June, you can upgrade to the current image by running the following command:
$ sudo atomic host upgrade
If you're currently run the older, test version of the CentOS Atomic Host, or if you're running any other atomic host (from any distro or release in the past), you can rebase to this released CentOS Atomic Host by running the following two commands :
$ sudo ostree remote add centos-atomic-host http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/atomic/x86_64/repo $ sudo rpm-ostree rebase centos-atomic-host:centos-atomic-host/7/x86_64/standard
CentOS-Atomic-Host-7-Vagrant-Libvirt.box (393 MB) and CentOS-Atomic-Host-7-Vagrant-Virtualbox.box (404 MB) are Vagrant boxes for Libvirt and Virtualbox providers.
The easiest way to consume these images is via the Atlas / Vagrant Cloud setup (see https://atlas.hashicorp.com/centos/boxes/atomic-host. For example, getting the VirtualBox instance up would involve running the following two commands on a machine with vagrant installed:

The Intel Edison system-on-a-chip boards are pretty cool, a little compute module can plug into a number of different breakout boards. There's an Arduino-style board, and another form-factor featuring a bunch of stackable modules (GPIO, SD Card, OLED Screen etc.) Since the system is a dual-core Atom, we can easily put CentOS on it! To start with we will focus on the userland components and use the kernel that comes bundled in the Edison toolkit.
If you'd rather not read the whole thing, here are some links to a flashable rootfs image and a yum repo containing the tools that go with it:
Bootable Image: http://people.centos.org/bstinson/edison/edison-image-centos.ext4.xz
Sources and Yum Repo: http://people.centos.org/bstinson/edison/7/
More of the upcoming work (building a kernel, and the rest of the SDK) will be done under the Alternate Architectures SIG once that is in full-swing. In the meantime I'd love to see discussion, bug reports, and collaboration on the centos-devel list.

If you'd like to spin your own image (instead of using the prebuilt image above) here are the steps you need to get a flashable image. The Edisons are fairly simple to install to (since the rootfs is simply an ext4 image)
To begin with we need a 1G file that will serve as our ext4 image
# Make a 1G file full of Zeros
root@host# dd if=/dev/zero of=~/projects/edison/edison-image-centos.ext4 bs=1M count=1024
# Put an ext4 filesystem on it
root@host# mkfs.ext4 ~/projects/edison/edison-image-centos.ext4
# Mount it someplace handy
root@host# mount -t ext4 ~/projects/edison/edison-image-centos.ext4 /mnt/edison-image-centos
Now that we have the image mounted in a useful place we can start installing
# Add the centos-release and centos-release-edison files
root@host# rpm --root /mnt/edison-image-centos -Uvh --nodeps http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/os/i386/Packages/centos-release-7-1.1503.el7.centos.2.8.1.i686.rpm\
# Tweak the basearch variable (allows you to do target install from an x86_64 host)
root@host# echo 'i386' > /mnt/edison-image-centos/etc/yum/vars/basearch
# Install the packages
root@host# yum --installroot=/mnt/edison-image-centos install bind-utils bash yum vim-minimal shadow-utils less iputils iproute firewalld rootfiles centos-release edison-modules edison-tweaks wpa_supplicant dhclient
You can grab dfu-util for CentOS 7 from here
Connect the OTG port on the Edison breakout board to a USB port and it should show up as a dfu device.
# The dfu VendorID:ProductID is 8087:0a99 for the Edison

OpenStack is the current de facto standard for cloud computing platforms and is supported by all major Linux distributions. Coupled with its role as the base technology in the domains of NFV & SDN, it has become one of the hottest softwares for networking community. It is a combination of numerous components and services, which means that deploying openstack is often complex, time consuming and error prone, especially for beginners. Deployment options vary from manual setup i.e., to install and setup each individual component manually, to use of automated tools such as Devstack, Fuel and Packstack.
The easiest way for getting started with openstack is through automated tools but using them properly requires significant forum/manual scavenging effort. This is too daunting for cloud application developers or anyone whose primary concern is to evaluate the cloud technology.
To ease these deployment concerns, our goal is to provide a robust, pre-configured (yet customizable) and easily installed openstack setup. The result will be a "CentOS Remix" with an option to setup openstack during installation. This is implemented by integrating two efforts by the Red Hat community namely RDO and Packstack into the CentOS installer i.e., Anaconda.
The development involves integrating OpenStack from the CentOS Cloud SIG (which also feeds the Red Hat community's openstack packaging effort, RDO ) and Packstack (openstack deployment tool) with Anaconda. The resulting remix will:
The integration will be achieved by developing an add-on for the Anaconda installer. Anaconda add-ons can be used to add support for custom configurations screens in the graphical and text-based user interface. OpenStack support can also be added to anaconda by modifying its source but add-ons are also extensible, maintainable, easier to debug and test. They also provide an opportunity to extend openstack support to other Linux distributions that use anaconda.
Current Status:
Anaconda has three modes of operation i.e., Kickstart, Graphical and Text User Interfaces. Hence our add-on development is divided into adding openstack installation support for each of these three modes. Uptill now Kickstart support has been implemented i.e., user is able to install openstack through a kickstart file during setup.
Currently GUI support is being developed. After that TUI support and openstack customization options will be added. Final deliverable will be an "CentOS Openstack remix" ISO (~1.2GB) extending CentOS minimal ISO.
Project source along with testing instructions are available at Github
Johnny Hughes has already posted images for Cubietruck and Raspberry Pi 2 and told you how to use them with your boards. In this post, I would like to tell you all the what has gone into development of RootFS Build Factory so far which includes a bit about the CentOS ARMv7 effort.
When I first started looking up project ideas for GSoC this year, the RootFS Build Factory idea caught my attention because it fit right into my interests and skill set. This was in the first week of March. Back then there was no CentOS ARMv7 and as far as I knew, the only person who had done any work in the area of building ARMv7 packages was Howard Johnson. His post on the CentOS arm-dev mailing list http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/arm-dev/2015-February/000089.html described his efforts of compiling CentOS for ARMv7 using Raspberry Pi 2 and Odroid C1. This was my first introduction to CentOS ARMv7.
Back then it seemed like the RootFS Build Factory project would require building a minimal CentOS ARMv7 first and then working on a set of scripts to re-bundle packages in this minimal build.
I got in touch with members on the CentOS team on #centos-devel and #centos-gsoc on Freenode and interacted with Jim Perrin and Ian McLeod (who later became my mentor for this GSoC project). With their inputs I started thinking of alternatives to Howard's method of compiling packages and came across work done by msalter from Redhat https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-buildsys-list/2009-July/msg00000.html
He had developed plugins to cross compile packages using mock and Koji and a yum plugin for installing non native rpms. This seemed great as I did not have any ARMv7 hardware at that point and the idea of generating ARMv7 on fast x86_64 desktop seemed like a good one. Later on, after discussion with msalter (which happened in the first week of June) and based on his advice we realized that this approach wasn't going to work for CentOS as the pre/post install scripts in the RPMs wouldn't run in a cross environment.
My original GSoC Proposal was based on using msalter's yum plugin to build ARMv7 images on x86_64 but after discussion with msalter and in consultation with my mentor Ian, it was decided not to go forward with the yum cross plugin approach and to focus on the targets in my proposal which would involve building CentOS ARMv7 images using either ARMv7 hardware or QEMU.
There was still the big issue of how, where and who would compile CentOS ARMv7. This is where Fabian Arrotin's efforts came in and took care of matters. His work using a plague farm he setup on the Scaleway nodes, got us a working set of ARMv7 packages. Until then Ian and I were contemplating doing the build ourselves using hardware we had at our disposal.
We decided that until the ARMv7 CentOS build was ready, we would use Fedora for development. Fabian Arrotin was very quick in creating the repositories which meant we didn't have to use Fedora for long. Of course the first build of CentOS 7 ARM using the RootFS Build Factory happened on Fedora 21.
The present status of the project is this:
Presently there are 3 main components in RootFS Build Factory
The original proposal mentioned writing the UI in PyGTK but because cross development was out of the picture and I didn't think people would run X11 in QEMU just for RootFS Build Factory, I chose a console based approach. Although the interface loads in the QEMU console, it doesn't load the colors and there is some text visible on the edges while selecting files/directories. I suggest you set up bridge networking on your host and then SSH into the QEMU instance.
If you have any queries you can post them in the comments below or email me [emailmandar at gmail.com] or discuss it on the CentOS arm-dev mailing list http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/arm-dev
When using on-demand instantiation of virtual machines in cloud computing,
users pass configuration data to the cloud and that data is used for
configuring the instances.
This process is called contextualization. Contextualization includes
identity(users, groups), network, system services and disk configuration.
Flamingo is a contextualization tool that is being developed under GSoC 2015
that aims to handle early initialization of cloud instances.
The current de facto standard for instance virtualization is cloud-init.
However, there are some problems with it. The most prominent ones are:
Don`t get me wrong it gets the job done. But, it has a lot of issuses and
these issues make it hard to use, extend and maintain.
Flamingo aims to solve the following problems encountered in cloud contextualization;
Go is a very suitable choice for a tool like this. Since, it is fast,
it has cheap concurrency, and dependency management is a breeze (see godep).
It allows the distribution of a single executable binary with its dependencies.
Target Distribution
The first target for Flamingo is the CentOS Atomic Host and CentOS Linux generic cloud images. We would, ofcourse, like to see wider adoption and are interfacing with other projects and image builders to see how best we might collaborate on this moving forward.
Getting Involved
You can find the source code for the tool here.
For more details please check this blog post
In the meanwhile if you'd like to share your opinions, learn more,
or contribute please feel free to open an issue, mail to centos-devel,user-list or come to #centos-devel IRC channel to have a chat.

The CentOS Project has been performing daily CI testing for quite a while using our t_functional test suite.
This testing has solved numerous issues for us in the past, although since it was being run daily sometimes we needed to re-release problem packages after fixes were rolled in. We have gotten the run time down considerably now (less than 1 hour for all tests) so we have adopted the policy that we will be running this test suite now as a Pre-Release process for updates so that if there are problems, we can address them before release.
The t_functional suite lives on github and we would be happy for people to help us develop new tests or make the current tests better. You can download and run the tests on a VM or machine that you can afford to reinstall (the tests are destructive and the machine is left in a state that is different than when the tests start, so it should never be run on production/important machines). You can also submit new tests or updates via github. We use the CentOS-Devel mailing list for discussion of these tests and for requesting changes.
Please help the CentOS Project make CentOS Linux better by testing, designing and submitting to our t_functional suite.
Ten days ago I wrote an article here about an armv7hl test image for the Cubietruck 32-bit ARM board. I have just uploaded a similar armv7hl image for the Raspberry Pi2. Both of these images are created with the RootFS Build Factory (a 2015 CentOS GSoC Project from Mandar Joshi sponsored by the CentOS Project).
The Raspberry Pi2 image (as well as the sha256sums for the compressed and uncompressed images) is available here:
This RPI2 image actually uses the base kernel and boot files from the Raspberry Pi Firmware github site, and not the CentOS-7 armv7hl kernel. This RPI2 kernel seems to be causing an issue with firewalld, and one must edit the file /etc/firewalld/firewalld.conf and change the variable IPv6_rpfilter from yes to IPv6_rpfilter=no.
Mandar has been making lots of progress on RootFS Build Factory and other people have reported that images generated from RBF for Odroid C1 and Banana PI are also functional, as is the image for QEMU. I will be trying to obtain and post workable images from these boards soon.
I want to point out that the current images created are not signed and are taken directly from the output of our armv7hl builders 'as is' with no QA testing. The armv7hl build is still very much a work in progress and the image manifest is based on a CentOS-7 (1503) minimal install from our x86_64 install media. We have not yet completed the entire tree and the build repositories may at times NOT have complete closure and are only about 85% complete at this time. We will finish the baseline build and then start the updates repository, but as of now these repos should be considered PRE-ALPHA and not production ready.
To use this image, you first extract it with this command:
unxz rpi2-centos-image.img.xz
Then just dd it to an SD Card and boot it in your Raspberry PI2 using a command like this from linux:
dd if=./rpi2-centos-image.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
(Note: your SD Card device may vary .. you should be able to find the card device with fdisk -l )
If you are going to be at Red Hat Summit 2015 this upcoming week (June 23rd to 26th, 2015), please stop by the CentOS Booth in the Community Central area and we will have working armv7hl demos of a RPI2, Cubietruck, and Banana Pi .. as well as a working armv8 (aarch64) AppliedMicro X-Gene Server on a Chip demo machine. Hope to see you there.
About a week after announcing the CentOS 7 alpha build for AArch64 hardware, I got an email from the fine folks at AMD asking for my address. Three days later, a pair of AMD's Seattle AArch64 development boards showed up at my front door. Hardware really is the best sort of gift, especially when you're building for a new platform. I needed to make a couple modifications to my lab (okay fine, my home) network in order to make use of the new AMD gear due to the board layout. The boards I have don't include USB by default, and I usually cheat and do USB based installs. Instead, I set up a proper pxe environment and loaded the OS up the right way.
Because the hardware was shipped with UEFI by default, there was very little to do in the way of configuration. I simply pointed the serial console at the pxe option and then did a normal vnc based install when the installer loaded. I don't want to spend too much time here talking about the installation, because it was exceptionally simple. If you don't have or want PXE, a pcie usb card would work fine. You can even simply yank the drive and dd the disk image directly to it, then power up. The only downside to the last approach is the need to run efibootmgr manually to set up the UEFI boot entry. In the coming days, I'll be updating our AArch64 documentation to reflect the added hardware and providing more detailed directions for configuration and setup for the hardware.
Apart from being able to report that the AMD boards work just fine with the CentOS 7 AArch64 beta, I can also happily report that they're proving quite useful. Since I have multiple machines, I'm now able to run a number of test cases and multiple configurations without the need to cannibalize my build system or boot from multiple drives. This has given me the ability to run our t_functional testing suite against the AArch64 beta, and identify a few minor build issues that I need to address before we can call the release GA. Thanks AMD!
FUDCon is the Fedora Users and Developers Conference, a major free software event held in various regions around the world, usually annually per region. This year the event in APAC is happening in Pune, India, from 26th to 28th June. I will be giving an introductory talk about the CentOS Cloud SIG (CCS) in the Openstack track on 27th June at 4:20pm. CentOS Cloud SIG is a group of people coming together to focus on packaging and maintaining different FOSS based Private cloud infrastructure applications that one can install and run natively on CentOS. We are a non vendor, non technology and non agent specific focus group, but we will gladly work with and build content to suit relevant niches or vendor ecosystems.
In this talk I will give a brief update about our work related to Openstack releases over CentOS 7 and CentOS 6. We will also see how OpenNebula is working towards a working build on the CBS. Anyone who wants to learn about these technologies or who wants to contribute to the SIG should attend this talk. I will be available all three days during the event. If you want to say hi or want to learn more about the CentOS Cloud SIG, please do ping me over @kushaldas or find me in person there.

Donald Trump's GOP Debate: Rick Perry Becomes Fourth Candidate Who Won't Participate
The presidential hopeful says he will be too busy to take part, while several prominent Republicans have opined that the event will be a media circus and distract from important issues.
Yet another high-profile GOP presidential candidate has opted not to take part in the upcoming Republican debate being moderated by Donald Trump.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry has joined former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Texas Rep. Ron Paul and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman in announcing their intentions to skip the Dec. 27 event in Des Moines, Iowa.
PHOTOS: Best Presidents in Film and Television
Perry's campaign said in a statement that he would be too busy meeting with Iowa voters before the Jan. 3 caucuses.
"Traditional retail campaigning in the days and weeks leading up to the Iowa caucus is the Perry campaign's top priority," the statement said, as reported by USA Today.
Perry, who has visited Trump at his New York office, "respects" the real estate mogul and Celebrity Apprentice star as well as "the folks at Newsmax," which is hosting the debate, airing on Ion.
The news comes two days after Romney said he would not be able to take part because he will be too busy campaigning.
PHOTOS: Actors Who've Played Politicians
Several prominent Republicans have reportedly urged candidates to skip the event. They predict it will be a media circus and a distraction from important issues.
Huntsman said he believes the debate is just a publicity stunt.
"This isn't about ratings for Donald Trump; this is about jobs for the American people," Huntsman told CNBC.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum are the only two candidates to confirm their participation in the debate so far.

Other candidates including Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann have yet to announce their decision. Earlier this week, she expressed concerns about Trump's objectivity, telling CBS' Early Show that "he said he's already learning towards a candidate."
Trump made headlines earlier this year when he suggested that President Barack Obama is foreign-born while saying that he might run for president himself. In May, he announced he would not be running, saying: "Business is my greatest passion, and I am not ready to leave the private sector."
Still, he has not ruled out a presidential bid as a third-party candidate.

If these temperatures are not maintained, you should:
• Call management to report the problem. The city asks you to try to resolve the problem with management first.
• Call 311 to record the landlord's violation. Call repeatedly. An inspector should eventually come. You can also file a complaint online at www1.nyc.gov/nyc-resources/service/1813/heat-or-hot-water-complaint.
• Get other tenants in your building to call 311. Everyone should call repeatedly, at least once every day the condition is not corrected.
• Buy a good indoor/outdoor thermometer, and keep a chart of exact dates, times, and temperature readings, inside and out. This is your evidence.
• Call the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) at (718) 739-6400, and ask them to send you their Heat and Hot Water Complaint form. Get as many other apartments as possible in your building to sign on, demanding an order to restore heat and a reduction and freeze in all the rents.
If the NYC Dept. of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) sends out an inspector—and an inspector may arrive without alerting you ahead of time—there should be a follow-up HPD inspection to make sure that the situation is corrected. The cause may either be a heat delivery failure or an equipment failure. If both the heating pipes and the radiator are cold, that is a heat delivery failure. If the heating pipes are warm, but the radiator cold, that is an equipment failure. The inspector should carry a heat gun rather than a regular thermometer.
More than three complaints from a building over a 24-hour period will trigger an inspection of each complaining apartment. Inspections should be conducted within 48 hours of received complaints.
After the owner submits the certification of correction to HPD, an inspector should come within two weeks to verify that the issue (heat delivery or equipment or access) no longer exists. The owner cannot just "certify away" the issue.
Finally, tenants can file for a rent reduction based on lack of heat (see DHCR fact sheet #15, www.nyshcr.org/Rent/FactSheets/orafac15.htm). The form may be obtained at www.nyshcr.org/ forms/rent/hhw1.pdf. This is where your record keeping will be necessary—you will be required to attach a report from the agency to which you have complained.]]>

If The Fire Is In Your Apartment
Close the door to the room where the fire is and leave the apartment with everyone who is in it.
Close, but do not lock, the apartment door – but take your keys to get back in.
Alert people on your floor by knocking on their doors on your way to the exit.
Use the nearest stairwell to leave the building; DO NOT USE THE ELEVATOR.
Call 911 once you reach a safe location. Do not assume the fire has been reported unless firefighters are on the scene.
Meet the members of your household at a pre-determined location outside the building. Notify the firefighters if anyone is unaccounted for.
If The Fire Is Not In Your Apartment ·
Stay inside your apartment and listen for instructions from firefighters unless conditions become dangerous.
If you must exit your apartment, first feel the apartment door and doorknob for heat. If they are not hot, open the door slightly and check the hallway for smoke, heat or fire.
If you can safely exit your apartment, follow the instructions above for a fire in your apartment.
If you cannot safely exit your apartment or building, call 911 and tell them your address, floor, apartment number and the number of people in your apartment.
Seal the doors to your apartment with wet towels or sheets, and seal air ducts or other openings where smoke may enter.
Open windows a few inches at top and bottom unless flames and smoke are coming from below.
Do not break any windows.
If conditions in the apartment appear life-threatening, open a window and wave a towel or sheet to attract the attention of firefighters.
If smoke conditions worsen before help arrives, get down on the floor and take short breaths through your nose. If possible, retreat away from the source of the smoke, heat or fire.
Hopefully, you will never need to put these steps into play but, as in the motto of Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts everywhere, "Be Prepared."]]>
In instances where the landlord believes the leaseholder has not been in the apartment for 183 days, the landlord serves the Golub Notice and withholds the renewal lease. The Golub Notice must be served 90 to 150 days before the expiration date of the current lease.
What the landlord looks for: There have been instances in Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village in the past where the landlord's evidence has been inadequate or erroneous -- out-of-state taxes or car registrations filed by someone with an identical name, for example. Unfortunately, even in such a case, the tenant needs to produce records that dispute the evidence and needs to contact an attorney.
An additional address or residence (It is perfectly legal to have another residence but it must be occupied less than half a year by the individual.)
A car registered in another state
Taxes filed in another state
Utility bills or other regular charges in another state
Voting in another state
Evidence of no keycard usage for more than 183 day
Once the Golub Notice is served and the tenant's lease has expired, the landlord can start a summary eviction proceeding in Housing Court to recover possession of the tenant's apartment.
If you have received a Golub Notice but believe you have solid pushback, the Tenants Association urges you to contact our Message Center at (866) 290-9036 so we can stay on top of the situation. (It should be noted that the person seeking to renew the lease must be the tenant of record, not someone simply listed as an occupant.) ]]>

What will happen when there's a sanitation garage on East 26th Street? We don't know yet...but we need to know. Let's make sure all our questions are answered in the garage's legally mandated Environmental Impact Statement.
1] PEDESTRIAN SAFETY: 80 collection trucks daily coming from the 91st Street Transfer Station down Second Avenue across 23rd Street and up First Avenue to 26th Street, their entry and exit point to the garage, raises real issues on traffic and safety. Nearby intersections already have high collision rates, amid thousands of seniors and patients using Hospital Row services and 1900 schoolchildren enroute daily. How will DSNY deal with these concerns?
2] AIR QUALITY: Studies have shown our neighborhood's air quality is bad. How much will it deteriorate with new DSNY vehicle trips, idling engines, fuel deliveries, maintenance work, and so on? The proposed site abuts Bellevue, NYU Langone, and the VA hospital. How will vented exhaust affect their air intakes?
3] TRAFFIC DENSITY: First and Second Avenues are major corridors with frequent gridlock. How will traffic flow change with 80 DSNY collection trucks and 31 mechanical brooms?
5] ASSER LEVY PLAYGROUND: NYC's Planning Guidelines discourage heavy manufacturing zones—like the garage—adjacent to parks—like our newly opened Asser Levy Playground. How will the garage across 25th St. impact the playground's use and safety?
6] ALTERNATIVE SITES: By law, DSNY has to consider other locations. We understand the need to accommodate sanitation trucks serving the East Side on the East Side, but we will insist that they consider all viable alternatives.
WHAT TO DO: Our coalition demands that the garage's Environmental Impact Statement study issues like these in depth, and with greater stringency than indicated in the DEIS. Come to the July 15 scoping meeting and make your voices heard. Go to the top! Call the Office of the Mayor, 212-788-3000 and the Commissioner of DSNY (Kathryn Garcia) 646-885-4977 and let them know you are concerned by the health and safety risks posed by the garage. ]]>
A lifelong Peter Cooper resident, he has been an important figure in the growth of the Tenants Association for 15 years. After thousands of hours to the TA yearly, he felt it was time to turn his attention to other areas of his life. One such project he has in mind involves building an organization locally that would help seniors stay in their homes.
Among Marsh's substantial contributions to the TA were building and staffing the Building-Zone Complex volunteer pyramid whose members distribute the organization's communications and interact personally with residents. In addition to the TA's internet presence, he created the Message Center, built the membership relational database, and established the Bed Bug Registry. He was also key to finding the plaintiffs in the Roberts case.
Previously board chair, Steinberg is a resident of Stuyvesant Town since 1980 and a member of the TA since 1997, she served as vice president and executive vice president. In addition to the TA, she serves on Community Board 6, is a public member of Community Board 3, serves on the Mt. Sinai/Beth Israel Medical Center Community Advisory Council and various city task forces. In 2013, she received a NYS Senate Certificate of Recognition as a "Woman of Distinction." As board chair, Steinberg worked closely with John on key issues, such as MCI settlement negotiated with CWCapital, and the fight for the strengthening of rent regulations.
The other officers elected include Kevin Farrelly as chair and John J.Sheehy as vice president. Margaret Salacan, treasurer, and Kirstin Aadahl, secretary, will continue in those posts. ]]>
In casting her vote, RGB Chair, Rachel Godsil, explained the reason for the 2% increase for two-year leases: The RGB has an obligation to both landlords and tenants, she pointed out, and landlords -- particularly smaller ones -- needed to have some assistance in affording to maintain their properties. However, she noted that tenants are unduly rent burdened while most landlords are doing okay. Hence the vote for a rent freeze.
While the tenants in attendance at The Great Hall, Cooper Union wanted a rollback, Harvey Epstein, tenant representative, addressed the crowd prior to the vote saying that a rollback was not on the table but zero percent would be an unprecedented victory.
Last night's vote will enable tenants on the verge of losing their homes to stay put and brings a victory to an unfortunate week of rent regulations negotiations. To see Mayor Di Blasio's statement on last night's vote, click here]]>
Rent Law Reforms in brief include changes that will mitigate the loss of a substantial number of rent-regulated units but not to the extent that advocates or Mayor de Blasio were seeking with vacancy decontrol.
Increase the high rent decontrol threshold to $2700, with annual indexed increases thereafter based on the percentage increase of the applicable rent guidelines board increases.
Decrease the vacancy bonus for preferential rent to 5%, 10%, 15%, or 20%, depending on the length of tenancy in the unit rented at a preferential rate.
Increase civil penalties available subsequent to a finding of tenant harassment by the Division of Housing and Community Renewal.
Increase the amortization period for major capital improvements and mandate separate amortization schedules for buildings with more than thirty-five, and less than thirty-five housing accommodations.
A sanitation garage is being planned for part of the site of the Brookdale campus of the Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing, between 25th and 26th Streets, east of First Avenue. At hearings that started months ago, there was tremendous community objection to placing this garage so close to hospitals, schools, Asser Levy Park, and the footbridge to Waterside, not to mention that the site is in a flood zone. Other objections included the storage of fuel for the garbage trucks, additional noise in early-morning hours, increased traffic that would interfere with the movement of hospital emergency vehicles, and lack of plans for the parts of the site that would bookend the garage.
The garage will not process garbage but will house trucks and clean them after they have picked up and dumped garbage. The nursing school is moving uptown.
At an early public meeting, many elected officials expressed their opposition to the project, which would take up only part of the available lot, but seem to have accepted the idea of the garage, providing the community has a say in the development of the two "bookend" sites. Because the city already owns the land, it can push this project through. It has made only minimal changes to the original plan in response to objections.
Recognizing that our area needs to have a facility closer than the ones that service us, Community Board 6 commissioned a private study to come up with alternative locations for the garage, but the city rejected them.
The public may give comments orally or in writing at the meeting. Until July 22, written comments may also be sent to Abas Braimah, City Planner, DSNY Bureau of Legal Affairs, 125 Worth St., Room 708, NY, NY 10013. Also email your comments to Community Board 6 at email@example.com with the subject "Comment on DEIS draft scope for Sanitation Garage."

The meeting will take place at 6:00 p.m. in the Great Hall at Cooper Union, 7 East 7th Street (corner of Third Avenue).
The RGB is considering increases in these ranges for leases starting between October 1, 2015, and September 30, 2016:
One year: 0%–2%
Two years: 0.5%–3.5%
Note: Increases are figured on the legal rent, not on a preferential rent (check your lease rider for the type of rent you're paying).]]>

A new art director is back in town.
An Omaha-native and graduate of Metropolitan Community College, Justin recently moved back to Omaha with his wife. He loved Minneapolis and the active lifestyle (read: weekend bike tours of the multiple breweries near his apartment) but his family is here and there are fewer sub-zero days per year.
His experience as a designer for agencies and in-house teams has prepared him well for his new position as an Art Director with Grain & Mortar. Justin believes problem-solving is the motor behind good design. "When I graduated from college I remember I just wanted to make beautiful things. It didn't take me long to realize if it's not effective it's not any good."
Growing up, he was curious about how things were made; computer-animated movies and logos, in particular. Recently, his parents found meticulously recreated famous logos Justin had drawn as a boy. "I was trying to understand how designers made logos. So, I replicated what I admired, what I thought was cool." It wasn't until college that he realized there was a career that would allow him to combine storytelling and art with computers and technology.
His ideal scenario is to work in a studio that allows him the opportunity to switch between branding, print and web-specific work. He's looking forward to the variety of projects he'll work on within Grain & Mortar and the challenge to learn that accompanies that variety. "Regardless of the project, there is always a person at the other end of whatever you create," says Justin. "And solving their problem, making their life easier or more functional is what I try to keep in mind as I design."
He admires classics such as designers Paul Rand, Saul Bass, the AT&T and FedEx logos, and even mid-century modern furniture. As a college student he loved mid-century modern furniture so much that he taught himself to build his own versions–a hobby that he has honed over the years.
In addition to building furniture, Justin has logged two half-marathons and countless hours enjoying the breweries of Minneapolis. He and his wife are also the proud roommates of Ralphie, a seven-year-old Shih Tzu.

The state of Illinois has produced a good portion of the Olympic speed skating team, but in the first day of competition in Sochi it didn't produce a medal.
Three Land of Lincoln-ers skated for the U.S. in the men's 5000m, the first speed skating event of this year's Games, but none finished higher than 16th.
Seventeen-year-old Emery Lehman, of Oak Park, was the highest-finishing American, placing 16th in his first Olympic event. Jonathan Kuck, of Champaign, and Patrick Meek, of Chicago, finished 19th and 20th, respectively.
[NBC OLYMPICS: Emery Lehman is the top U.S. speed skater in Olympic debut]
Skaters from the Netherlands swept the podium, with Sven Kramer winning gold in the event for the second straight Olympics. Countrymen Jan Blokhuijsen and Jorrit Bergsma won silver and bronze, respectively.
There will be plenty more chances, though, for an Illinois native to grab a speed skating medal. Five of the state's 10 Olympians are long track speed skaters, with Shani Davis being the most well-known.

Hotel w/the WORST Customer Service
I was there with my friend who's about to get married to take prenuptial videos. It was actually a gift that I would like to give them for their wedding.
We went to their Fishing Village restaurant to prepare there and take some shots. Of course we ordered some food from there. As a matter of fact, our bill summed up to more than a thousand pesos just for the food so that we could be considered as significant customers. We made it a point that we ordered every once in a while. We even rented their bike for an hour. The staff at the fishing village watched us in amusement as we shot each funny scene, they were in fact pretty accommodating.
After that we went to their hotel coffee shop to take shots there as well and the same as what we did at the Fishing Village, we ordered some food, pastries and coffee. I even planned to book my family vacation there because the staff seemed friendly and accommodating. I was as a matter of fact already preparing my card to pay for the booking. I can't believe my friend and I even discussed having their wedding reception there! It would've been a total disaster given the character of their staff.
They let us shoot there until our video was almost finished. Right at the very last part of our shoot (while shooting the last scenes) the bellboy approached us and asked us if we had a permit. That caught me by surprise... they never asked us for any permit when we started and besides it was a personal video that we're shooting. As a matter of fact, we just brought entry level dslr's. All of a sudden, everybody was stopping us from taking pictures or videos. The front desk officer, the bellboy... etc. It was very embarrassing because it was very much unexpected. They are a resort, why would they stop customers from taking personal videos?? And that isn't the worst part, after all the embarrassment, we all just decided to leave unable to finish our meals.
We weren't even able to wait for our service to arrive as we felt we had to leave before our expected time. Who would want to stay if you're already being embarrassed and demeaned by their staff?? Imagine having to walk out of that place!
WORST PART: On our way out, we decided to stop by the bridge and take a bit more shots. I can't believe that the staff at the hotel actually had this security guard named JOHN go after us to tell us not to take pictures at the bridge. My brother got frustrated and asked him since when did they stop allowing customers to take pictures within the resort and he said that EVERYONE who took pictures in the resort should have a permit! He was extremely rude! He was actually asking us to leave already! It was the most embarrassing day of my life! I've been to the some of the finest hotels in the country and been to many of the best resorts and this was the WORST and I mean THE WORST treatment that I have ever received so far.
The guard actually acted like he'd have no hesitation in hurting us physically. His leaned towards my brother as if to show that he's boss and this was just a SECURITY GUARD versus my brother who's already a businessman and myself that is an event management officer who could've given them tons of business! I have already been interviewed by event magazines regarding venues in manila and Cavite and right now, I think I know what I'll say about this resort.
Well, all I can say is that they have infuriated and embarrassed us enough to say that they are idiots! We'll spread the word about how they treat their guests and I will make sure that all of my current clients and future clients NEVER book an event here in Island Cove.
Unique Quality: Murky sea water
Old facilities
Tacky pool
Useless Seciruty Personnel
Directions: Just by the dirtiest waters of Cavite and Manila
The positive reviews on different website ABOUT ISLAND COVE AND ON THEIR WEBSITE ARE ALL FAKE FAKE FAKE! CHECK IT OUT! YOU WILL NOTICE THAT IT IS FAKE!
Unique Quality: UNIQUE QUALITIES? THEY HAVE THE WORST SERVICE EVER HEHEHE
Forget this place
I sit here 2300hrs at Island Cove in one of the two bedroom cabanas with the only thing that works reasonably well...the wifi!
For the last 4hrs, my parents and sister (in from UK), myself and my 5yr old son have gone through the worst nightmare. I am very embarrassed. I have been living in the Philippines for the last 12yrs and merely wanted to show 'them' the hospitality and service normally expected in this country.
1900hrs ordered room service. Food arrived 1945hrs. Rice served was ineadible (poor quality and hard, suggesting it had been left out for hours and then microwaved). Sent it back. 2015hrs rice arrived. Son was hungry and tired. Food quality very poor and over-priced. Other dishes ordered were simple and bland.
Guests are prohibited to bring into the resort, any food or dink!
After dinner it was time for showers. No hot water. Complained and we were given another room to use but only after I insisted. Two hot showers later, there was no more hot water. My father and I were not able to shower. My Son could only be wiped down with a face towel...he was already too tired.
This hotel has an inadequate kitchen and engineering maintenance to accept return customers.
Earlier on in the day and upon arrival 1600hrs, we were advised that the pool with slides was closed due to the storm...this we could understand. We were told that the hotel pool and jacuzzi was open however, our hopes of swimming were dampened once we saw the cleanliness of the water.
We were also driven to Fishing Village. Took a walk around the floating restaurants interconnected bamboo paths. Parts of the path had missing bamboo slats and the vertical stilts holding up the walkway were broken and disconnected. The pathway is quite unsafe and rickety. A fall through the bamboo floating pathway would land you in filthy sea water.
Lastly and quite important, the air-conditioning units are very old and noisy. Add to that, this place is directly under the international flight path. Also, large gaps at the bottom of the front door allows mosquitos to enter.
To do this establishment a favour, I complained profusely calling reception numerous times; as a result, the phone was ringing back annoyingly from different persons trying to help but not knowing the situation - a further explanation was needed every time.
Eventually, I demanded the Manager to come and speak to me in person. Instead, they sent the receptionist who I presume, was instructed to offer me a late check out for our inconvenience. Wonderful!!
Unique Quality: Proximity to Manila...but I suggest you keep driving!

Female Captains poll

Re: Female Captains poll
I am not saying that we should have more female captains to balance it out or be progressive. I am way beyond that. I think you guys may be confused because the options on the poll were meant to be a joke.
Strong characters are very important to me. I am not saying go write a story with a female captain to be politically correct or anything like that. I'm just saying I welcome any new stories featuring a female captain. I would love to see more of Ezri Dax and the Aventine. I enjoyed reading Erica Hernandez in Destiny, I would love to read a story of her and the Columbia before the crash. It was also nice to read about Rachel Garret in the Lost Era series.

Providing the highest quality equipment available, LifeguardMaster.com is a industry leader for emergency gear. "When I think about what it takes to be an effective lifeguard who keeps an eye on their own levels of strain and fatigue, it's not hard to think of many products that will help." said Sammy, Owner of Lifeguard Master. "One that springs to mind is an exceptional umbrella. If a lifeguard isn't shielded from the elements themselves their attention is easily diverted from their goals. Though agile, they're human too."
To that end, the Lifeguard Master's site makes sure to offer durable weather resistant nylon umbrellas for on-duty lifeguards. Complete with a vinyl laminate covering to protect against the elements, the umbrellas have a diameter of up to six and a half feet. Their adjustability is one of their best features as when the position of the sun changes, the need for what you could call a "mindful" umbrella - that can be set to any shading direction - is essential. Suitable for just about any kind of lifeguard chair, the Lifeguard Master umbrellas have been specifically designed for the beach. "The wind really kicks up sometimes when you're on duty. No lifeguard needs to have the concern that their umbrella will not be able to take the gusts." added Sammy. For more information on this, please click on: go to Lifeguard Master's Umbrellas.
The product LifeguardMaster.com calls the Lifeguard Umbrella - Ultra Weather Durable is the perfect answer to wind-proofing. To take it one further, the company is in development right now for an actual Wind-Proof Lifeguard Umbrella. This specialty umbrella is designed to allow the wind to pass between two layers of a double canopy and comes complete with a matching carrying bag. For more inform

My body is failing me! 😭
Sorry, it just sucks. No other way to put it. I became friends with a large group of ladies who all had pre-e first pregnancies and I was the ONLY one to get it again in pregancy #2 (and #3).
There isn't anything truly proven to prevent it unfortunately. Some people have had luck with higher protein diets, etc but then again you would never know if those people would be the ones to not get it in subsequent pregnancies regardless, KWIM?
There are a lot of misconceptions out there that people have, try not to let them get to you. Though I know that's hard. I felt the same way between that and gestational diabetes. I'm healthy weight, in good shape, not too young or AMA, etc. Yet people implied that I got GD from eating too many sweets and pre-e from eating too much sodium and so forth.
Boy #1 3/09 born at 30wks severe pre-e/HELLP 3lbs 2oz. Boy #2 5/11 born at 37wks pre-e, PTL 6lbs 4oz. Boy #3 5/13 born at 35wks pre-e 5lbs 11oz
My boys are my life <3
