Long Baseline Neutrino Facility
The solar neutrino detector that nuclear chemist Ray Davis installed on the 4850 Level in the Homestake gold mine in the mid-1960s helped lead the way to a startling discovery—that neutrinos spontaneously change type or flavor. This phenomenon is called neutrino oscillation, and in 2002 Davis shared the Nobel Prize for Physics with Masatoshi Koshiba for his work in the field. Now a new generation of neutrino physicists are proposing another experiment at Homestake.
The discovery of neutrino oscillation led to many new research experiments, including a long baseline neutrino experiment at LBNF. Scientists will shoot a beam of neutrinos through the earth from Fermilab in Batavia, Ill., 800 miles to a target at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. More than 500 people from 90 institutions, including 139 from 35 institutions in eight non-U.S. countries, make up an international collaboration that is working together to plan and develop both the experimental facilities and the physics program. The project that could answer some of the most challenging questions facing physics in the 21st century.
The experiment is still in the design phase.
Links on this page (at right) offer detailed explanations of LBNF, formerly the Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment.

Upcoming Course:
Grasping the non-Microsoft Development Toolchain
Learning an alternative development toolchain for modern web development,
the same one the SharePoint Framework is based on.
About this Course
Cross platform, Node, Gulp, CI, CD, module loaders, bundlers, ahhhh! As a traditional SharePoint, Office or .NET developer, this more rapid & new style of development is a bit foreign to you. While you might have thought you could avoid it, then you hear about the SharePoint Framework and how it leverages the same tools.
That's fine but all these articles & sessions assume you're already up to speed with this style of development. What if it's new to you? It's quite a steep learning curve. You are not alone!
Regardless if you use Windows or MacOS, in this course you will see how to get your development environment setup using popular free tools. You will learn how Node.js fits into the picture (no, you don't have to develop in Node.js, but most developer utilities leverage it as the runtime), look at bundlers, module loaders, testing frameworks, build & dev tools, testing tools, continuous integration & continuous deployment services… everything you need to build things with Angular 2, the SharePoint Framework... all sorts of web applications!
Interested in getting up to speed on this different development toolchain? Have no fear as this course will cover it all. Regardless if you are on Windows or MacOS, this development toolchain is cross platform so the course will show you both platforms. Here is a list of some of the things you can expect to learn in this course!
When you buy this course you will also get all the updates that reflect the latest releases of the tools and frameworks mentioned in the course. In addition you will also get any new content added to the course after you purchased it. Each time there are changes to the course and/or new content added, you will get notified with a detailed changelog so you can quickly get up to speed on what's new.
Hold up, it is not ready just yet as the course is currently being developed and recorded.
However we will soon offer a special first look promotion where you can get access to the course before it is 100% complete but at a deep discount. First look subscribers will also get access to the entire course for the same price as it is released!

What can we do in St. Francisville, LA?
Report Abuse
St. Francisville is a VERY sleepy little town north of Baton Rouge. Not much except for a few antique stores, a few plantations (I like Audubon's Oakley House personally) and a nuclear power plant! It's very relaxing, though, and you're not far from Baton Rouge's restaurants and sights.
Report Abuse
Thanks for the (Warning) John. It sounds great though, just what we need after a hectic Spring! We will be in NO for a few days after as well soooo the best of both I guess.
Report Abuse
Lily, we stopped at the Rosedown Plantation & Gardens in St. Francisville on our way to Natchez, MS. It was definitely one of the most enjoyable of the plantations and antebellum homes we toured in LA & MS.
Report Abuse
We were there in September and found St. Francisville a quiet and relaxing kind of place. The two best restaurants we found were Sammy's Grill and Magnolia Cafe. They are practically across the street from each other and easy to find.
Report Abuse
John's right there is not much to see or do. We were in St Francisville in March after spending a few days in NO. It's a beautiful location and just right if you're looking to relax. I would NOT recommend anyone stop at Rosedown Plantantion. It $10 per person to get in, self guided tour, you are not able to tour the house, you stand on the other side of plexiglas and hit a button to listen to a tape recorded message. The gardens are large but not worth the stop. It's my understanding that at one time volunteers gave tours in period costumes, and also had volunteers who tended the gardens. Since the new owner bought the property all of this has changed and has become a great dissapointment, and sore spot from what we gathered to those in the area.
If you like Chinese food, there is a great place in town, it's in a little strip mall. I'm sorry I don't remember the name.
We also stopped at the Cottage, the woman who gave the tour could not have been any less enthused she mummbled through the whole tour.

We stayed at the Myrtles Plantation in St Francisville, which is supposedly haunted! Although we didn't experience any ghosts it was still fun. You could go and take a tour of the plantation and here some good old fashion ghost stories.
Report Abuse
Janine is right. When we were there in Sept, no one would recommend visiting Rosedown. The whole community is livid over what is happening with it. One plantation we visited which was very interesting was Catalpa. Lots of family history there and the tour guide was most informative. Also, if the road to Greenwood Plantation is still under repair you might want to skip it. The detour took forever and when we got there it had already closed.
Report Abuse
We recently ate at the Carriage House Restaurant on the grounds of the Mytles Plantation. The Restaurant was decorated very nice and the food was fabulous.
I would recommend stopping here for a delicious meal and the tour of the home was very interesting!
TWO Thumbs up! -

Grace Episcopal Church and graveyard are beautiful. Love walking around Saint Francisville and looking at the houses. Also drive over to New Roads, crossing over the Mississippi River bridge and look around. Rosedown, Oakley and other plantations are very interesting.

Guilford Pre-Town Meeting
By DonInGuilford | Thu, February 16 2017Broad Brook Grange will hold its annual Guilford Pre-Town Meeting on Thursday, February 23, 7:00 pm at the Grange hall.
This is the only opportunity for voters to hear details of the articles which will be presented at the Town and School District Meetings, and to meet and discuss issues with the selectboard and school board all in one evening, in advance of Town Meeting.
In addition, candidates for town and school board offices are urged to attend to introduce themselves to the voters. State law prevents any "campaigning" by candidates at Town Meeting, when an Australian ballot is used, as in this instance. So this is the only time before the vote for the public to meet and hear the candidates all at once.

Who's Crazy?
By SK-B | Wed, February 15 2017Every family has secrets. Mine had more than its share. If there were a way that my mother could have avoided telling me about Aunt Rose, I am sure that I would never had found out about her.
Rose had been in Rockland State Hospital since the 1930s when her brief marriage failed, and she lost custody of her only child. Now, in 1956, her three sisters (Aunt Fanny, Aunt Yetta, and my mother) were planning a visit. We went in two cars: Uncle Irving's DeSoto Deluxe, and Uncle Mac's Oldsmobile Rocket 88.

Selectboard Meeting Notes - Solar Agreement Approved, Sidewalk Plow In and Out of Action
By cgrotke | Tue, February 14 2017The Brattleboro Selectboard took up a number of somewhat ordinary agenda items at their postponed regular meeting Monday evening. Facility updates, grants, certificates of mileage, parking lot contracts and other mundane matters were handled with ease. There was a minor TIF tiff, too.
The high points, perhaps, were discussions of solar net meter credits, the new energy coordinating volunteer position, and news that the most recent storm broke our sidewalk plow.

Dogs Die In Not-Too-Hot Cars
By Zippy | Sun, February 12 2017I am sharing this sad story so that citizens who find a dog locked in a car can share that dogs die in cars even on not so hot days. Tragically, this dog died on a 70 degree F day after being left unattended for three hours. This occured in our neighborhood here in Palm Springs.
Now, if you find a dog locked in a car, and a police officer or store owner dismisses your concern with "it's not that hot out" you can site this case as evidence to support your concern. Of course science has proven this for years, but we continue to frame the problem as "dogs die in hot cars". Not always.

Brattleboro Selectboard Candidate Interview: David Schoales
By cgrotke | Fri, February 10 2017We hope you enjoy this interview with David Schoales, candidate for Brattleboro Selectboard.
Which seat are you running for, and why do you want to be on the Selectboard again?
I am running for the three year seat and I want to serve a few more years to help assure the good progress we made over the past four years continues as new members gradually replace us.
Give us your stump speech/qualifications...
I've served on a day care board, health center board, land trust board, school boards, union boards- lots of experience working with others to get things done that will help my neighbors. I'm a good listener, a strong advocate, I love learning new stuff, and I care a lot about what happens to people.

Mint9 Boot Stalls on fsck
Affects | Status | Importance | Assigned to | Milestone | |
Linux Mint |
Unassigned |
Bug Description
Description of Problem
Whenever the system requires an fsck at boot the boot process stalls. Recovery requires one to press "c" to cancel fsck and continue the booting process.
Steps to Reproduce
Wait until the next automatic fsck
Or: sudo touch /forcefsck
It was reported elsewhere that removing 'quiet splash' from the boot options was a workaround but that does not work and all attachments and descriptions in this bug report reflect both those options removed.
My Results
* I let this run on one occasion for 28 minutes without resulting in a boot.
* I have Mint9 installed on two different boxes and it happens to both.
* If I immediately reboot after a forcefsck all partitions are declared clean
* If I force an fsck the stall occurs again
My attachments should make this more clear.
Ubuntu Bug Report:
This bug report is apparently closed (?) because it was fixed by version 2.15 of package: mountall.
I have version 2.15 installed. It's implied that package: Plymouth is also involved in this problem so I have included the versions of both packages that I am currently running.
Relevant version levels:
apt version mountall: 2.15
apt version plymouth: 0.8.2-2-1mint3

There is more people reporting similar problems: https:/
I just reproduced it on my Mint 9.
Being a virtual machine (VirtualBox) the fsck took less than 10 seconds on the first too forced fscks (sudo touch /forcefsck; sudo reboot).
The third time it got stuck on the "Press C to cancel all checks currently in progress" screen after displaying the 98% (I think it got stuck just after completing the fsck), I pressed ESC to see the text mode messages and this was displayed:
"(process: 216) GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): falied due to unknown user id (0)
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
/dev/sda2: 134297/2498560 files (0.2% non-contiguous), 911478/9985280 blocks
Pressing ESC twice again (to go to the graphic screen and back to text mode) would cause another fsck message to be printed.
It remained stuck for several minutes until I pressed "C".
I tried doing the forced fsck a fourth and fifth time: it did got stuck again on the 5th. So the overall is 2 of each 5 times.
apt version mountall: 2.15
apt version plymouth: 0.8.2-2-1mint3

Displayed message;
"Your disc drives are being checked for errors, this may take some time

Press C to cancel all checks currently in progress."
There is no drive activity light shining or flickering.
There are only two hard disks.
Raid is not fitted.
Hope this helps.

I can confirm that my system (Mint 9 32bit) is also affected. I'm somewhat astonished that the importance is set to "undecided". Mint is meant to be a user-friendly distro, and I'm afraid that Linux newbies in particular will be highly irritated by this bug. That's why this bug should be fixed as soon as possible to prevent the reputation of Mint from suffering damage.
Editing fstab to disable the checks is not really a solution.
same here - also after cancelling it just sits there doing nothing instead of booting

Same problem here. I have to press 'c' or ctrl-alt-del to continue. There are no errors. For someone who doesn't know these things (like my girlfriend) this effectively prevents you from using the computer.
I'm using Linux Mint 9 64bit on Asus X70AC Laptop. Didn't have this problem on Ubuntu 10.

It still happens on my Acer Aspire One. It looks like "arrow right" brakes the stop and continues the login. (My machine is updated to newest packages) LM9 32bit Gnome. Installed to HD.
I could not see this bug clearly before, as a result of my other very serious start problems. (see bug/580726)

Same problem here. Fresh install of Mint 8 x86 (32bit) on ASUStek F7Z notebook.
Partitions layout is separate partition for boot, root and home.
I was forced to disable autofscks in the fstab for now, as this notebook will be used by unexperienced people who wouldn't be able to troubleshoot bootup problems with stalled fsck.

Re-installed. It would seem that the Lv3 updates are whats causing the problems.
Before updating:
After the fresh install goto mintupdate, select Edit>Preference uncheck all lv3 updates, apply. I rebooted and did a sudo touch /fsck... now it worked NO MORE PROBLEMS
Ok, it seems one of the lvl3 updates is causing a regression here. We need to identify which one so we can move its level to 5. This is also happening upstream obviously, so I'll be trying to mark the bugs related to this issue as duplicates.

Yes axel, the error is still there, it's a LIE to tell it's fixed. It's remarkable that this error has been without a solution for such a long time.. about 20 weeks I think... I recommend people to use LM8 until it's fixed.

Sorry for my bad english... ;-)
I'm a newbies with Linux Mint 9 KDE. But, i'm "ubuntu's fan" since 2006...
I've installed LM9 KDE on two machines, the first one : acer P4, 1.5 gig ram and Intel GMA. The second : Dell Inspiron 6000, 512 mo ram and Intel chipset GMA.
Both have the problem. The package mountall 2.15 is up to date like ubuntu lucid. On ubuntu lucid, no problem (see this bug report : https:/
If i press ESC to go back under plymouth and i press "C" key, the the boot finished with no problem or the boot stalls with a blank screen and the message "GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): falied due to unknown user id (0)". If i press right arrow key instead of C under plymouth, the boot finished without problems.
I think that there are two problems in this bug (two questions in fact) :
1) Fsck is really finished when plymouth stalls ? If yes, is not a big problem, "press right arrow key" continues the boot process. "Press C" abort the scan, is not a solution to prevent disk errors.
2) What process causes the problem? Mountall ? Plymouth? Ureahead ? I've read that one user have uninstalled Ureahead package and he shall have no problems after. I've not tested. I don't find this forum...
Anyone can confirm that the fsck process is good and finished BEFORE the problem occurs and if the disk is safe or not? It's important for the security and the stability of the system. (disk crashs, errors no repared, ...) If the fsck prosess is good and finished, press "right arrow key" continues the boot without problem. Modify fstab files is not a good idea for me.
sacha@ubuntu (sacha-b77) wrote : | #37 |
I have tested with a live usb session.
sudo fsck /dev/sda1 (my boot partition).
Result : clean.
If i look in var/log/boot.log after a forcefsck, the system have a description of hard disk like : /dev/sda1 : 1627009/3571712 fichiers (0.3% non-contigus), 6708217/14284032 blocs. It seems to be ok for the check disk during boot, no?
So, when plymouth loops without end, press "esc" and then press "right arrow", i have seen a brief message "skip apparmor" before the "re"start of the boot.
Apparmor should have link with the problem?
sacha@ubuntu (sacha-b77) wrote : | #38 |
Look at this :
The user called mick55 explain that, after the upgrade of the kernel to the kernel 2.6.35-
Anyone has tried?
The fact that updates level 3 might be in cause, an update to new kernel 2.6.35 can fix it? This is one theory...
axel (axel334) wrote : | #39 |
I can confirm. After kernel update to 2.6.32-25-generic #45-Ubuntu (level 5 from mintupdate) it is ok now. I see progress in % , and the whole process is quick and without problem.
tux-sven (sven.b) wrote : | #40 |
I have tried to update to kernel 2.6.32-25-generic, but it didn't solve the problem.
I used Mint Update (In Mint 9 Gnome) and included the level 5 updates. During update process I got some questions about substitute rows in scripts, but I ignored this because they where changing rows with "Linux Mint 9" to "Ubuntu 10.04".
But i wonder, I also saw something about not finished rows or something like that...? Is that something that could have an impact???

@axel :
Did you have the same problem described by tux-sven? Or, the upgrade is totally fonctionnal with no specific message or error?
Did you always upgrade your system with levels 4 and 5 or once for the kernel upgrade with mint-update?
@tux-sven :
same second question.
Could you post your comments on bug #571707. This page is a duplicate of ubuntu bug.
axel (axel334) wrote : | #42 |
Now, I have installed Linux Mint 10 Julia 64-bit, so I changed the kernel too.
Linux 2.6.35-22-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 20:45:36 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I checked with command:
sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo reboot
Unfortunately the problem still exist. I don't have progress bar showing in %. The process was very quick, didn't stalled and system started but I didn't see what was actually happening. Only information that it will be checked.
I also posted the same comment for bug 571707.
"Did you always upgrade your system with levels 4 and 5 or once for the kernel upgrade with mint-update?"
I don't do level for update because in Mint they are described as untested and dangerous. I do level 5 update because they are described as dangerous but tested. And I suppose kernel update may have some serious security updates, that's why I use level 5. But of course I do have a backup. This is topic about kernel update
kernel update and security question
That's why I do it. I prefer to risk reinstatement than keep system potentially vulnerable. But I have to say that after recent update I deleted old kernel and my system broke. So, I think it is better not to remove old kernel. But I'm not experienced enough to comment on kernels anyway. So get advice on forum. :)

Under Microsoft's "chkdsk" command Windows users are prompted that they can not run any automatic file system error corrections until the next restart. Linux needs to add this same message and scheduling functionality to "fdsk" (e2fsk). Instead we are stuck with this very frustrating annoyance of being lockout until fdsk completes it error checking after a predetermined number of restarts. Fdisk needs this very basic functionality. Most people moving from Microsoft to Linux expect this.
After days of frustration I found the following solution by Peter Gordon:
My system uses "e2fsprogs (1.41.11)" which includes "tune2fs" which manages "e2fsck".
1. In a terminal window, check your fstab to make sure the sixth column item has a positive integer for your Linux boot device (in my case this partition is an ext3 format with a positive integer of "1").
code: $ sudo gedit /etc/fstab
2. Restart using a liveCD (because he states that this is a low level procedure which requires all devices to be unmounted).
3. Start a terminal window and unmount all devices.
code: $ sudo umount -a
3. Disable the <max-mount-counts> & <interval-
code: $ tune2fs -c 0 -i 0 /dev/sda1
4. Restart/
Note: Now the onus is on you to remember to manually 'e2fsck' from time to time using a LiveCD or going back and resetting some <max-mount-counts> with tune2fs that is except able to you!
code: $ sudo e2fsck -C0 -p -f -v /dev/sda2

Orang, this is the workaround, not the solution. And this information is a

Adequate end-user of the workstation would prefer filesystems to be checked on
the regular basis. Turning this auto-checks off is a bad idea in general and one
may only afford it as a short-term solution while waiting for bug to be fixed.
It's a shame on Mint that this bug is still unfixed after several months forcing
users to use short-term solution far longer then one may want to.

He might be. Depending how he copes with the significant speed loss he will experience in 2014 and 2015, he could challenge or even break Federer`s slam semifinal streak. No matter how consistent he is though he will never be as great a player as Federer or Nadal.
Yeah I know. It's like people already forgot about little things like 18 finals out of 19 consecutive slams or the 237 consecutive days at number #1 or 23 consecutive slam semis or 36 slams consecutive slam quarters.
Djokovic is far more consistent considering that he has to compete in a strong era against players like Nadal.
What a joke. Djokovic has had one year in his career - ONE - in which he won a slam outside of his pet tourney. Federer was 1 match away from having a calendar slam - twice. Novak is is a fantastic player, but seriously it's not even close.
You need to VERY CONSISTENT off BOTH WINGS to beat Nadal. Do you realize how difficult it is? Nadal is the litmus test for tennis performance. Either you can beat him with a good record spanning several meetings, or you can't. All other "records" are meaningless, like consistently being at the top of the class in a no-name college.
10 straight slam finals. 23 straight semis. 36 straight QF's. Won at least 2 slams from 2004-2007. 237 straight weeks at number 1. You tell me!
No one with 28k posts is anything but a troll, I am sorry. The guy is good but as I said before he is not god and has lost to some real winners outside of his fav surface. Do you really want to base an entire era and consistency on beating one guy? You have no credibility. Pretty sure up until the end of Federer's dominant reign the H2H was like 7-6 or 7-5 Nadal, but I could be wrong. Not as bad as some of you make it seem.

Are you a TOFI?
July 1, 2007And, no, this article has nothing to do with soybean curd! I'm referring to some new research that is really going to change how we look at health, weight, and body size.
By now, I'm sure you're familiar with the BMI (body mass index). It's a formula that combines your height and weight to tell you whether you are underweight, overweight, or like Goldilocks, just right. You can calculate your BMI here and then find your category:
BMI Categories:
· Underweight = <18.5
· Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
· Overweight = 25-29.9
· Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
(Note: The BMI categories may not apply to people with greater than average muscle mass, such as body-builders.)
But now, researchers are saying that a having normal BMI isn't good enough. Using a type of MRI to create full body "fat maps," researchers have discovered that people of normal body weight may still have deposits of fat around their internal organs. The newly identified phenomenon is called TOFI, or Thin Outside, Fat Inside.
Although invisible from the outside, internal fat appears to be just as unhealthy as a more obvious beer gut or love handles. These hidden fat stores generate inflammatory chemicals that raise your risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and many other diseases.
Short of a full body scan, how do you know if you're a TOFI? The research suggests that normal weight people who don't exercise are more likely to have dangerous internal fat deposits. That means that even though they may be slender, they still carry the health risks of being obese. Those who maintain a normal BMI with a combination of sensible diet and regular exercise get the best of both worlds. They look better (less fat outside) and they're healthier (less fat inside). We'll call them the TIFIs.
So just because you can still zip up those size six jeans doesn't mean you don't need to exercise. To be healthy inside and out, you've still got to get that body moving. And, by the way, it cuts both ways. Being aerobically fit doesn't let you off the hook for maintaining a healthy body weight. About a third of those who engage in regular vigorous exercise are still overweight. (FOFIs?) Contrary to what you may have heard (or hoped), studies have found that aerobic fitness doesn't cancel out the disease risks associated with excess body fat.
Maintaining a healthy, beautiful, disease-resistant body requires a combination of regular exercise and healthy eating habits. But it's not all bad news. When you exercise regularly, you burn more calories...and that means you can eat a bit more without gaining weight! To find out how many extra calories you can burn with various types of exercise, use the Daily Needs Calculator on Nutritiondata.com.
If you're ready to start a regular exercise program but don't know how or where to begin, you can find a lot of resources and motivation on the web. One of my favorite fitness experts, Stephen Cabral, writes a weekly column for the Gather.com's Health Channel on Thursdays. You can find his articles on Gather.com.

Calibration is important regardless of what type of pressure you are monitoring.
Calibration is especially significant for low pressure requirements in critical applications such as vivariums, pharmaceutical manufacturing, cleanrooms and hospital isolation rooms. Other applications for low pressure include medical instrumentation, environmental pollution control, boiler combustion efficiency, air flow and research and development test stands.

The Art of Cycling: Staying Safe on Urban Streets (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
The bicyclist is under attack from all directions - the streets are ragged, the air is poison, and the drivers are angry. As if that weren't enough, the American cyclist must carry the weight of history along on every ride. After a brief heyday at the turn of the twentieth century, American cyclists fell out of the social consciousness, becoming an afterthought when our cities were planned and built. Cyclists today are left to navigate through a hard and unsympathetic world that was not made for them. Yet, with the proper attitude and a bit of knowledge, cyclists can thrive in this hostile environment.Covering much more than just riding a bike in traffic, author Robert Hurst paints, in uncanny detail, the challenges, strategies, and art of riding a bike on America's modern streets and roadways. The Art of Cycling dismantles the bicycling experience and slides it under the microscope, piece by piece. Its primary concern is safety, but this book goes well beyond the usual tips and how-to, diving in to the realms of history, psychology, sociology, and economics.
About the Author
Robert Hurst is a veteran bicycle messenger and all-around cyclist who has cycled more than 150,000 miles and 15,000 hours in heavy traffic. In this time, he has completed something like 80,000 deliveried. He is a native Coloradan who is just happy to be in one piece after working for more than ten years as a professional bike messenger in Denver. He celebrates his continued survival by spending time in the mountains, and by riding the world's most excellent trails. Mr. Hurst is also the author of Mountain Biking Colorado's San Juan Mountains and Road Biking Colorado's Front Range (FalconGuides).

I hope this is the correct place for my topic ,however Iam just curious if the H.D. on my XPS400 a Samsung SP2504C 8M.B. cache is acting normal .This hard drive recieves very good ratings on all the reviews I have found on it ,however none of them mention what the normal sounds coming from the drive are. I find the H.D. makes a low scratching sound most of the time and then sometimes it will make even more sound depending on what task Iam preforming or when Iam multi tasking ! Can anyone else who has this same H.D. in their tell me if they recieve the same sounds or is their H.D. quiet ? When its making these sounds the small light on the front of the tower usally lights up showing the H.D. is being accessed !
Thank You ,
Hmm is it a high pitch "cicada" noise? If so put your ear to the back of your comp and check its not coming from the PSU.
My HD in my XPS720 makes a low dull thudding/rattling sound (says healthy on startup though) but the PSU whines with a high pitched buzzing noise, like that ya get from a TV producing static, whenever extra power is drawn such as writing data, or scrolling and so on.
It might just be your hard drive but its worth checking as the noisy PSU is a known, longterm and widespread problem with these computers.
Hi Bob,
Its definitly coming from my H.D. ! When I put my ear right next to the spot where the H.D. is installed thats where the sound which is hard to explain ,kind of like a fast clicking sound however if Iam multi-tasking, for instance have my internet running also have my TV Wonder TV Tuner card on ,with TV in a small box on my desktop ,also have a RSS Feed that displays the lastest news ,sports system stats wheather etc on a seperate piece of hardware called a PertelianX2040 a LCD backlite dispaly . Then the sound will sometimes alsmost sound like a little compressor at work on top of the rapid clicking sound .Iam not use to this my previous PC a P3 750MHz with a 5400rpm H.D. 30 G.B. makes no sound at all ? However I can understand that a 250 G.B. faster H.D. would perhaps have top work alot harder to get to the information and in turn make some noise ! THe little lite on the front of PC will go from rarely lighting up when PC sits idle to constantly flickering showing me its being accessed. I have system mechanic ver7 installed and I performed the deep defragmentation of the H.D. ,which took hours ! That utility reports no problems with the h.d. . Thanks again for your input ,next time I open up my tower to clean the inside of it using compressed air and a special dust cloth ,I will turn the PC on to make sure the sound in coming from the H.D. only ! I have a 320 G.B. externial H.D. that I purchased for back up ,I want to back up my entire internial H.D. to it .However I do not have the software yet for backing up my H.D. to the externial Iam waiting for Seagate to send me the free backup app. on CD ,you can download it off the internet however its a 90+ M.B. download and for now Iam still on a dialup ISP .
Take Care Bob
Thanks Again Nick

Text of Plan Dalet ( Plan D), 10 March 1948: General Section
The text that follows is translated from Sefer Toldot Hahaganah [History of the Haganah], vol. 3, ed, by Yehuda Slutsky (TelAviv: Zionist Library, 1972), Appendix 48, pp 1955-60.
1. Introduction
(a) The objective of this plan is to gain control of the areas of the Hebrew state and defend its borders. It also aims at gaining control of the areas of Jewish settlement and concentration which are located outside the borders [of the Hebrew state] against regular, semi-regular, and small forces operating from bases outside or inside the state.
(b) This plan is based on three previous plans:
1. Plan B, September 1945.
2. The May 1946 Plan.
3. Yehoshua Plan, 1948.
(c) Since these plans were designed to deal with the situation inside the country (the first two plans deal with the first phase of incidents, while the third plan deals with the possibility of invasion by regular armies from the neighboring countries), the aim of Plan D is to fill the gaps in the previous three plans and to make them more suitable for the situation expected to obtain at the end of British rule in the country.
2. Basic Assumptions
This plan is based on the following basic assumptions:
(a) The Enemy
1. Expected composition of forces:
- The semi-regular forces of the Liberation Army affiliated with the Arab League, which operate from already occupied bases or bases to be occupied in the future.
- The regular forces of neighboring countries, which will launch an invasion across the borders, or will operate from bases inside the country (the Arab Legion ).
- Small local forces which operate, or will operate, from bases inside the country and within the borders of the Hebrew state.
All three forces will be activated at the same time in accordance with a joint operational plan, and will sometimes engage in tactical coordination.
2. Actual operations expected from the enemy:
- Isolation and, if possible, occupation of the eastern Galilee, western Galilee, and the Negev.
- Infiltration into the heart of the area of Sharon and Emek Hefer in the direction of Qalqiliyyah-Herzliya and Tulkarm-Netanya, roughly.
- Isolation of the three major cities (especially Tel Aviv).
- Disruption of food supply lines and other vital services such as water, electricity, etc.
3. Expected tactical methods:
- Attacks by the regular and semi-regular forces on settlements, using heavy infantry weapons, as well as field artillery, armored vehicles, and the air force.
- Air strikes against centers within our cities (especially Tel Aviv)
- Harassment operations carried out by small forces against transportation arteries and settlements to give the operations mentioned above direct or tactical support. These forces will also carry out sabotage operations against vital economic facilities and terrorist raids within cities.
(b) The Authorities
This plan rests on the general assumption that during its implementation, the forces of the [British] authorities will not be present in the country.
In the event that British forces continue to control certain bases and areas, the plan must be modified to deal with this situation in these areas. Additional instructions will be issued in this regard.
(c) International Forces
This plan rests on the assumption that there will be no international forces stationed in the country which are capable of effective action,
(d) Operational Objectives
1. Self-defense against invasion by regular or semi-regular forces. This will be achieved by the following:
- A fixed defensive system to preserve our settlements, vital economic projects, and property, which will enable us to provide governmental services within the borders of the state (based on defending the regions of the state on the one hand, and on blocking the main access routes from enemy territory to the territory of the state, on the other).
- Launching pre-planned counter-attacks on enemy bases and supply lines in the heart of his territory. whether within the borders of the country [Palestine] or in neighboring countries.
2. Ensuring freedom of military and economic activity within the borders of the [Hebrew] state and in Jewish settlements outside its borders by occupying and controlling important high-ground positions on a number of transportation arteries.
3. Preventing the enemy from using frontline positions within his territory which can easily be used for launching attacks. This will be effected by occupying and controlling them.
4. Applying economic pressure on the enemy by besieging some of his cities in order to force him to abandon some of his activities in certain areas of the country.
5. Restricting the capability of the enemy by carrying out limited operations: occupation and control of certain of his bases in rural and urban areas within the borders of the state.
3. Assignment of Duties
In view of the operational objectives outlined above, the various armed services are assigned the following duties:
(1) Strengthening the fixed defensive system designed to defend the zones, and coordinating its deployment on the regional level. In addition, the main enemy access routes to the lands of the state must be blocked through appropriate operations and measures.
(2) Consolidation of the defensive apparatus.
(3) Deployment in major cities.
(4) Control of the main transportation arteries country-wide.
(5) Encirclement of enemy cities.
(6) Occupation and control of frontline enemy positions.
(7) Counterattacks inside and outside the borders of the country.
(a) The Fixed Defensive System
1. The fixed defensive system in rural areas depends on two main factors: using protected areas for the purpose of defending the circumference, on the one hand, and blocking main transportation routes used by the enemy, on the other hand.
2. The security arrangements pertaining to the zones in rural areas, originally designed to repel small enemy forces, must be modified in terms of planning and reinforcement to suit the tactical measures expected to be employed by semi-regular or regular enemy forces. This will be effected according to instructions issued by the operations branch in charge of defense and planning in rural areas.
3. In addition, if we take into consideration the tactical measures expected to be employed by the enemy, efforts must be made to make a transition from a positional defense to a regional defense, so that the unit of defense is the region and not the zone.
4. In order to achieve this objective, the following steps must be taken:
a) Transformation of the regional staff from an administrative staff to a general staff (selection of a location, setting up a communications network, etc.)
b) Formation of a regional mobile reserve, to be recruited from the forces appointed to the zones, which would reinforce the forces or carry out counterstrikes in the zones within each region according to pre-arranged plans.
c) Adaptation and incorporation of the plans concerning fortification and opening fire in the zones to those of the region, as far as possible, taking into consideration geographical circumstances and types of weapons used. These plans must also be coordinated with the operations of the regional mobile reserves.
5. Settlements which because of their geographical location cannot be included in a fixed regional defense plan must be organized into local defense zones. Accordingly, they must be equipped to block transport roads used by the enemy, or if tactical circumstances permit, to control the heights, setting up fortifications and barricades and laying mines, etc. This will be done in addition to activating the zone's defensive apparatus. Additional forces must be assigned to carry out these duties, as will be detailed below. These specifications also apply to isolated regions.
6. Blocking the main enemy transportation routes.
a) The main enemy transportation routes which link his lands to the lands of the state, such as roads, bridges, main passes, important crossroads, paths, etc. must be blocked by means of: acts of sabotage, explosions, series of barricades, mine fields, as well as by controlling the elevations near roads and taking up positions there.
b) A system of barricades must be set up in addition to the fixed defensive system. The tactical plans concerning barricades must be adapted to and coordinated with the defensive plans concerning the zones located near these barricades. They must also be coordinated with the regional defense plans if this is possible from the geographical point of view.
(b) Consolidation of Defense Systems and Fortifications
The following operations must be carried out if the fixed defensive system is to be effective and if the rear of this system is to be protected:
1. Occupation of police stations.
2. Control of government installations and provision of services in each and every region.
3. Protection of secondary transportation arteries.
4. Mounting operations against enemy population centers located inside or near our defensive system in order to prevent them from being used as bases by an active armed force. These operations can be divided into the following categories:
- Destruction of villages (setting fire to, blowing up, and planting mines in the debris), especially those population centers which are difficult to control continuously.
- Mounting search and control operations according to the following guidelines: encirclement of the village and conducting a search7 inside it. In the event of resistance, the. armed force must be destroyed and the population must be expelled outside the borders of the state.
The villages which are emptied in the manner described above must be included in the fixed defensive system and must be fortified as necessary.
In the absence of resistance, garrison troops will enter the village and take up positions in it or in locations which enable complete tactical control. The officer in command of the unit will confiscate all weapons, wireless devices, and motor vehicles in the village. In addition, he will detain all politically suspect individuals. After consultation with the [Jewish] political authorities, bodies will be appointed consisting of people from the village to administer the internal affairs of the village. In every region, a [Jewish] person will be appointed to be responsible for arranging the political and administrative affairs of all [Arab] villages and population centers which are occupied within that region.
(c) Deployment in Major Cities
Positions will be taken in the large cities according to the following principles:
1. Occupation and control of government facilities and property (post offices, telephone exchanges, railroad stations, police stations, harbors, etc. )
2. Protection of all vital public services and installations.
3. Occupation and control of all isolated Arab neighborhoods located between our municipal center and the Arab municipal center, especially those neighborhoods which control the city's exit and entry roads. These neighborhoods will be controlled according to the guidelines set for searching villages. In case of resistance, the population will be expelled to the area of the Arab municipal center.
4. Encirclement of the central Arab municipal area and its isolation from external transportation routes, as well as the termination of its vital services (water, electricity, fuel, etc.), as far as possible. ,
(d) Control of Main Transportation Arteries on the Regional Level
1. Occupation and control of locations which overlook main regional transportation arteries, such as police stations, water pumps, etc. These elevated locations will be transformed into fortified surveillance posts to be used, when the need arises, as bases for a mobile defensive force. (In many cases, this operation will be coordinated with the occupation of police stations, which aims at consolidating the fixed defensive system.)
2. Occupation and control of Arab villages which constitute a serious obstruction on any of the main transportation arteries. Operations against these villages will be carried out according to the specifications given under the item pertaining to the searching of villages.
(e) Enemy Cities Will Be Besieged according to the Following Guidelines:
1. By isolating them from transportation arteries by laying mines, blowing up bridges, and a system of fixed ambushes.
2. If necessary, by occupying high points which overlook transportation arteries leading to enemy cities, and the fortification of our units in these positions.
3. By disrupting vital services, such as electricity, water, and fuel, or by using economic resources available to us or by sabotage.
4. By launching a naval operation against the cities that can receive supplies by sea, in order to destroy the vessels carrying the provisions, as well as by carrying out acts of sabotage against harbor facilities.
(f) Occupation and Control of Front line Enemy Positions
Generally, the aim of this plan is not an operation of occupation outside the borders of the Hebrew state. However, concerning enemy bases lying directly close to the borders which may be used as springboards for infiltration into the territory of the state, these must be temporarily occupied and searched for hostiles according to the above guidelines, and they must then be incorporated into our defensive system until operations cease.
Bases located in enemy territory which are intended to be temporarily occupied and controlled will be listed among the operational targets for the various brigades.
(g) Counterattacks Inside and Outside the Borders of the State
Counterattacks will be used as ancillary measures for the fixed defensive system in order to abort the organized attacks launched by semi-regular and regular enemy forces, whether from bases inside the country or from outside the borders.
Counterattacks will be launched according to the following guidelines:
1. Diversionary attacks; i.e., while the enemy is launching an attack against one of our areas, [our forces will launch] a counterattack deep inside another area controlled by the enemy with the aim of diverting his forces in the direction of the counterattack.
2. Striking at transportation and supply routes deep inside enemy territory, especially against a regular enemy force which is invading from across the border.
3. Attacking enemy bases in his rear, both inside the country [Palestine] and across its borders.
4. Counterattacks will generally proceed as follows: a force the size of a battalion, on average, will carry out a deep infiltration and will launch concentrated attacks against population centers and enemy bases with the aim of destroying them along with the enemy force positioned there; alternatively, this force may split up to carry out secondary operations, such as acts of sabotage and diversion on the enemy's military transportation routes and arteries.
5. A detailed list of counterattacks will be included in the [list of] operational targets of the Strategic Mobile Force [PALMACH].
4. Duties of the Armed Services
(a) Allocation of duties in the fixed defensive system:
1. The following duties are the responsibility of the Garrison Force [KHIM], defense of the zones and of isolated and fortified posts and formation of the regional reserves.
2. Within the framework of the fixed defensive system, the Field Force [KHISH], are responsible for the following duties:
- Operations to block enemy transportation routes. For this purpose, every blocking operation will be assigned, on the basis of its importance and type, a specified Field Force unit whose size is appropriate to the nature of the mission.
- In addition, the Field Force brigade in question will be responsible for duties related to consolidating the fixed defensive system, as outlined in section 3 (b).
3. In special and exceptional circumstances, Field Force units may be positioned in the regions or zones, or in isolated and fortified positions, in order to reinforce zonal or regional defense. Efforts must be made to decrease the number of such cases, as far as possible.
4. In addition to the duties detailed above, the Field Force's responsibilities within the fixed defensive system generally consist in mounting local counterattacks involving units no smaller than company (larger units should be used if possible) against enemy units while they are attacking the fixed defensive system in order to block their lines of retreat and destroy them. These counterattacks will usually be launched from fixed operational bases which will be specified for the Field Force in the context of the duties for which it is responsible in the region as a whole. These instructions require that the Field Force units be concentrated as much as possible, and not be divided up into secondary units.
5. The chain of command in the cases mentioned above will be in accordance with Addendum 1 to the Order concerning Regional Infrastructure, November 1947.
6. If the blocking system (which the Field Force is responsible for defending) is incorporated into the zonal or regional defensive system, the commander of the Field Force battalion concerned will appoint the commander in charge of the entire defensive system.
(b) In addition to the duties assigned to the Field Force brigade in question concerning the consolidation of the fixed defensive system, the brigade will also carry out the following duties:
- Consolidation of positions in the cities.
- Control of main transportation arteries country-wide.
- Encirclement of enemy cities.
- Occupation and control of enemy frontline positions. This will be effected in accordance with the operational duties assigned to the various Field Force brigades.
In order to carry out any or all of these duties, the supreme command can assign units of the Strategic Mobile Force [PALMACH], which constitute the country-wide reserves, to the Field Force.
2. During the implementation of joint missions with the Field Force, units of the Strategic Mobile Force [PALMACH] will fall under the command of the Field Force brigade that controls the area in which these units are operating.
3. After completion of the mission, the units of the Strategic Mobile Force [ PALMACH] will rejoin the country-wide reserves.
4. Efforts must be made to ensure that the period during which units of the country-wide reserves are assigned to the Field Force is as short as possible.
(c) 1. The Strategic Mobile Force [PALMACH] is responsible for carrying out counterattacks inside and outside the borders of the country.
2. The supreme command may reduce the number of duties assigned to one or another of the Field Force brigades as it sees fit ( i.e. those related to the siege of enemy cities, control of transportation routes and occupation of frontline positions) and allocate them directly to the Strategic Mobile Force [PALMACH] instead.
(d) The various departments and services of the general staff are required to complete the above planning orders in their various areas of responsibility and to present the plans to the Field Force brigades.
