already soundproofed but to reinforce the soundproofing. and, you know, as we know, it's not scientific, i can't say, this is going to work, but we are definitely putting the effort in and i will continue to put the effort in, in the next two weeks. >> i have one last question, so some of the e-mails that i've read is that for the most part, the sound has been corrected but there are times when it goes back to what it used to be, can you tell me if you attribute that to volume, someone is increasing the volume or what do you attribute that to, do you think? >> in my experience, when i have called in a complaint, i've been firm about saying get the volume down, the answer is, it's the amps on the stage that aren't being -- can't be altered by the sound guy, so we can communicate with the bands, hey, this is the limit, but you're also interacting with, you know, a 23 year-old kid who's on tour and he's like, okay, i'll keep my amp at this level, and then, you know, three hours later when the show starts, boom, so we have to keep riding them a

we're asking what have you done, whether it's quoting prices or the actual material was used to soundproof, it's a simple question. >> the entire roof, the shell of the structure was covered with two sheets of sheet rock and a layer of sound board which is approximately 4 thousand square feet and was -- i can come up with a ballpark price of 10 thousand dollars but it was more or less around that price, in addition, then we framed out a shell and a lowered ceiling below the actual ceiling that had been soundproofed, a lower ceiling above the stage to contain the amplified amps on the stage at a cost of about 5 grand. >> go ahead, commissioner. >> can i just ask if the shell is attached, is it a total box? is it like sealed on all sides? >> except the front, so you can see the band. >> okay, gotcha. >> commissioner hyde? >> yeah, and if you hear hostility, i'm going to tell you why i feel hostile. you said that multiple parties are responsible for the problems that were being had and you also said that sometimes the phone for neighbors can't be heard in the front and in the good neighbor po

o'connor an opportunity to complete any unfinished soundproofing that he said he could do in the next two weeks, so it would give him that opportunity to shore it up even further with further strategic solutions and then bring all that information back, and i think our goal here is to make sure that brick and mortar comes into compliance and their neighbors are happy. so, we only are allowed one continuance, so that's it on this. that's where i'm coming from. >> anyone else want to chime in? >> commissioner hyde, do you see an option? >> you know, i don't know, i'm just saying that another two weeks, what exactly is that going to do? they've had months and the sound complaints have been going on for over a year and you have all this time to bring yourself into compliance or stay with restricted hours or possibly lose your entertainment permit. i mean, those are very serious things for a small business to be up against and i think that if we want nightlife to stay an integral part of our city, that we have to hold people to task and we have to expect people to behave in ways that are m

i will come back with visual demonstrations that and show what has been done according to the soundproofing that we have done from the initial hearing. did you receive the updated security plan? >> yeah. >> did you also send it to the station? the mission station? >> no. i don't think i did. my partner did that, so i'm not sure if he did or not, but i can check in with him. >> thanks. >> and then aside from the discrepancy of whether the house line or actual cell phones is better, i personally think neighbors having the cell phones of the managers is better than a house line which might not be heard. >> okay, do they have that now? >> that was the discussion i had with the principal neighbor that i communicate with and who shares communication with the other neighbor ins the back, that's the discussion i had with her yesterday that we should use the cell phones instead of the house lines, so she does not have it as of now, i agreed that's what i proposed yesterday and she thought that that was a good idea so i'm planning on making that happen. i can do that tomorrow, e-mail her and she'll s

. >> photos and documentation of the soundproofing. >> and a copy of an e-mail sent to the neighbors giving them the -- reiterating the current phone number. >> alright. do we have a second? >> i'll second. >> and we had a second. >> we already had a second, alright. shall we vote? >> yeah, i just -- i would like to say something. you know, this was a fairly serious and large case and it seemed to me like it was something that really impacted the business and it was something that was very serious, and the actions we took were really serious and there were a lot of complaints about like how we handled it, but i just want to say that if something this serious comes up, if i were a business owner, if i were even coke mow, i would go out and do out what i was asked to do and i would make sure i did it to the letter and i would make sure i returned here with the information that was needed to give me the neighborhood representative the wear with all to believe that these complaints are being taken seriously instead of being blamed on bands and multiple parties, and you know, i feel very

. >> one last question, the type and amount of soundproofing you have because you have live bands, you have those heavy velvet sound curtains. .ing that was an addition, yes. >> my question to you is not that, i want you to describe for me your encapsulated stage and sound audience. >> 150 foot stage curtain, encapsulates stage and audience. can you describe that >> encapsulate, well, first and foremost, i have 100 linear feet that i brought in of heavy velvet curtain donated to us from the war field, they're amazing curtains, they're double lined thick velvet, they do wonders for the acoustics in the venue, and we have any kind of noise complaints through our history there, but the inclassing lacing would be an up stage curtain, so that deals with the monitor issue and the amp issue of live music and such and one of our common walls, our east side common wall is 75 feet of this curtain, so inclassing lacing may not be the correct word. >> i was curious how you encapsulated it all, and you didn't. okay, cool. alright, thank you very much. i think it would be claustrophobic if you did,

as they did at c.t.a., a plant that made soundproofing in corbin, kentucky, where the workplace had been in plastic dust. that factory exploded in february of 2003, killing seven. the chemical safety board determined that the cause was dust, ignited by an open oven. it was clear that they had a dust problem. >> it was clear there was a dust problem. >> help me understand. how does osha inspect that plant and not find a problem? >> the inspectors aren't trained to recognize dust as a critical, catastrophic potential hazard. >> bill hargraves was one of those osha inspectors until he retired this past january. >> how long were you at osha? >> 28 years. >> and in all that time, how much training did you receive on industrial dust? >> none. >> none in 28 years? >> no. >> he learned in 1999 how costly that ignorance was, when an iron foundry he had inspected in springfield, massachusetts, was destroyed. the fire marshal said it was a dust explosion. >> three people died, and nine people were severely injured. >> when you were standing in the devastation of that plant, did you wonder why you h

. >> upper west side compound, we try to keep everything separate, but -- >> soundproof -- >> the vacation -- >> on vacation -- >> we break things down. we break the rules. >> didn't make them stay in the guest house? >> well -- just joking. >> he really sounds rich, doesn't he? >> i don't know how you created this whole sort of -- >> you were born with a silver spoon, i'm sorry, in your mouth. >> so great to be back from vacation. >> it is past 6:01. >> you said that before 6:01. let's start with the markets on first trading day of august. july was the best month for stocks since january. the s&p has now turned in 8 positive months out of the last 9, going back to november. as for the fear level in the markets, volatility actually dropped more than 20% in july, so people got pretty complacent. you can see the vix at this hour trading just about 13.5. the best performing sectors last month were health care, industrials and materials and yesterday the markets barely budged. pretty active trading day. watching at one point, the dow was sitting at a new intraday high in the middle of the day.

. >> now we're getting soundproofing sent to our house and everything.nes to transvaginal bicurious. let's go to keith in milwaukee. you're on with carlos. hello, keith. >> caller: hi, guys. first off, wherever you're going on tv, i hope it is somewhere i can pick you up again because it was a dark day indeed when time-warner cable dropped you guys. my wife loved it when -- she worked and i would record it and she loved watching you guys. >> stephanie: you shall be able to again. we'll let you know as soon as we can. >> waitingwaiting with bated br. hey, you know, we're all trying to try for the smartest boy in class. and the one thing i wanted to point out, it is all speculation on my part but this farce that's going on about dropping -- defunding obamacare and holding our economy hostage, when you look at it, look at the influence of big money in congress. this health insurance of the obamacare that we have, this is probably one of the biggest windfalls for the private health insurance companies in history in terms of getting access to a market. the ot
