You are going to need some help. Over the next 17 days NBC is planning to telecast a record 5,535 hours of Olympics coverage from London on nine different channels, including the NBC broadcast network, MSNBC, Bravo and NBC Sports.

"I live in the area of New and Roop streets right behind the outlets. There are noise cannons that are blowing from sunrise to sunset absolutely terrorizing the neighborhood dogs. In my particular case, I have a German shepherd who has been terrorized without any break for several weeks on end. I know there are alternatives for scaring these birds off beside making constant noises all day. I am wondering if I am the only one who is going through this hell with my dogs.
