By 1970, The Who were undoubtedly the top rock band in the world. After having released one of the first rock concept albums with The Who Sell Out in 1967, the first rock opera with Tommy and their messianic performance at Woodstock in 1969, and possibly one of the greatest live albums of all time with Live At Leeds in 1970, Pete Townshend had no choice but to up his own epic ante with the band’s next release. His follow-up to a concept album and rock opera could only be a third conceptual, semi-operatic piece, but which also included a film tie-in and actual audience participation with the band’s performance that would steer the direction and plotline of the album itself. As opposed to The Who’s previous rock opera, each song would also be able to stand on its own without the need for musical interludes to propel the storyline and explain the previous song; each song would be self-sufficient. That album was to be called Lifehouse.
Unfortunately, the Lifehouse’s plot-line was so convoluted and unexplainable, its execution so elaborate and unfeasible, not even his Townshend’s bandmates could comprehend it and the project was eventually scrapped. Instead, the best of the album’s surviving songs became Who’s Next in 1971. This is a reconstruction of what that double concept album/soundtrack called Lifehouse would have sounded like if it had been finished in 1971 as originally intended by The Who.

Album reconstruction notes:
Lifehouse was a futuristic saga with diverging subplots to be unified at its conclusion, with an underlying secondary concept, acted out by The Who themselves through live footage and music. The storyline takes place in a polluted futuristic world in which the populace is literally hard-wired onto “The Grid,” a Matrix-like computer system controlled by the government, meant to oppress and pacify. All art is outlawed—especially music—as it promotes free-thinking, something The Grid is meant to do for you. A scattered few live free from The Grid in the outskirts of the cities—the hippie gypsies of a teenage wasteland.
The first of the three subplots of Lifehouse—also the opening sequence—centers around one of those gypsies free from The Grid, a turnip farmer named Ray. He gathers his wife Sally and daughter Mary to journey to the city, to investigate the mysterious Lifehouse, which is broadcasting pirated rock music onto The Grid (Side A of my reconstruction). The second subplot revolves around Mary’s own spiritual quest, as well as a glimpse of the villain Jumbo, a leading government official who controls The Grid (Side B of my reconstruction). The third subplot centers around the young man who runs the Lifehouse itself, a musician named Bobby who attempts to discover the ‘universal chord’ which consists of ‘notes’ from all people on earth, thus constructing a chord for all (Side C of my reconstruction). The finale of the album was envisioned as Ray, Sally and Mary’s arrival at the Lifehouse, Bobby’s performance of the universal chord, an epic battle against Jumbo and the freeing of the populace from The Grid (side D of my reconstruction).
The aforementioned underlying concept of Lifehouse was the construction of Bobby’s universal chord, as performed by The Who. The first phase of the recording sessions for Lifehouse consisted of The Who performing at The Young Vic theatre to an open-door audience, in which the band would interpret the emotions and souls of each individual audience member, to compose that member’s note, thus eventually creating Bobby’s universal chord. The Lifehouse film was to have footage from The Live Vic intercut with the storyline itself, The Who performing live from the Lifehouse with Ray and Sally listening along to Bobby’s pirate radio broadcast as they traveled the countryside.
As fate would have it, some mountains are just too high to climb. The recordings from The Young Vic were not as promising as anticipated, and the lack of audience understanding or even interest was disheartening for Townshend. Initial studio sessions with producer Kit Lambert in New York were sloppy and below-par for the critically acclaimed rock group. Pete Townshend began to lose hope in his elaborate tale of a dismal future and universal musical salvation and began to drink heavily. The situation reached a head when he overheard Lambert commenting that Lifehouse should be abandoned, which propelled Townshend into a nervous breakdown and suicide attempt. After firing Lambert, recording sessions were rebooted in London with producer Glyn Johns. The results were rejuvenating, having a cleaner fidelity and energetic performance. But that was not enough to save the Lifehouse. The dream finally ended after Townshend admitted it was simply too ambitious and the plot was too abstract. The choice was made to take the best songs from the double-concept album and create a stronger single album without a unifying concept. Ironically, the resulting Who’s Next was The Who’s most critically and financially successful album to date, continuing a mass of their most beloved songs.
Townshend never gave up hope for his Lifehouse, having slowly added more songs to the unreleased mess. Lifehouse often made references in his own work, such as on his Psychoderelect album in 1993. Townshend eventually released The Lifehouse Chronicles boxset in 2000, consisting of his original demos of the project from 1970 and later, his synthesizer experimentations, orchestral renditions of the songs and a 1998 radio play based on Lifehouse. This was what Lifehouse sounded like in 2000—not a finished album, but a scrapbook of a work-in-progress that was never finished. But what would The Who’s version sound like? Here is Lifehouse, as it was originally imagined.
How could we possibly explain something that Townshend himself could not explain to The Who’s inner circle and what took him 30 years to elaborate into a finished product? Surprisingly, Townshend left all the clues we really need in the form of his official tracklist on the Lifehouse Chronicles. Using his tracklist as a blueprint, it is surprisingly easy to reconstruct Lifehouse, as that is presumably the correct and official running order. Knowing the plotline as already explained, the tracklist seems to follow the narrative fairly well.
The only exclusions that should be made are the songs not originally written for the album in 1970-1971. Townshend claimed that Lifehouse was a continuous work in progress, and chose to include later The Who By Numbers and Who Are You-era tracks within the Lifehouse Cronicles. Clearly those songs are excluded here, as they were simply not written by 1971. This reconstruction attempts to be true to the project’s original inception. Once this is done, we are left with approximately 90 minutes of material, adding up to two 45-minute discs. Coincidence?
The next factor to consider is source material. Nearly all versions in the reconstruction are the original 1971 studio Who recordings. Although the original concept of Lifehouse included actual live Who performances—primarily at The Young Vic, that has been excluded here in the name of continuity and quality. If live material was to be used, why bother recording studio versions at all? Thus all versions on this reconstruction are the studio versions. Just as well,1970 live staples “Water”, “Naked Eye” and “Baby Don’t You do It” are excluded from my reconstruction of Lifehouse, because they are unneeded and superfluous, having predated the Lifehouse concept and seem to be unrelated to the storyline altogether.
Also, three tracks (“Teenage Wasteland”, “Greyhound Girl” and “Mary”) were taken from Townshend’s original demo tapes (as found on disc 1 of the Lifehouse Chronicles) because The Who had never recorded their own versions of the songs. In the case of those three songs, they are entirely solo Pete Townshend recordings, with him performing all instrumentation. Since they are vintage 1970 recordings and somehow fit perfectly into the album sonically, I have included them here. Also without those three, the album ceases to be two 45-minute discs.
Few instances of editing were needed beyond tighter crossfades to eliminate lead time between tracks and to create four continuous sides of music. One of two exceptions includes my own unique edit of “Teenage Wasteland”. While clearly the song eventually became and was replaced by “Baba O’Riley”, Townshend chose to include both versions on his final Lifehouse Chronicles. I have decided to respect that artistic decision, but have edited out the final 3 minutes of the song, the sections that emulate what would later become “Baba O’Riley”, thus avoiding any musical and lyrical redundancies. I have also included the beginning of “Baba M1”, one of Townshend’s synthesizer experiments that was later incorporated into “Baba O’Riley”, as a brief introduction to the album and representing the Universal Chord itself. The second unique edit was the creation of a new “Love Ain’t For Keeping”, consisting of the classic Who’s Next acoustic version edited together with the 2-minute jam and coda from the electric version recorded at the scrapped New York sessions (found on Odds and Sods). The effect is a an amazing end to Side A and a fresh look at a familiar song.
My hat's off to you, Great Album! In fact all of your comps. are fantastic. You put alot of thought into each one. How about the Stones "Black Album" or an album if the Beatles did not break up.ReplyDelete
We need to see an album if the Beatles didn't break up. Like now. That would be so awesome. Here's a hypothetical track listing:ReplyDelete
1. Give Peace a Chance
3. Maybe I'm Amazed
4. All Things Must Pass
5. It Don't Come Easy
6. Teddy Boy
That's all I can think of RIGHT this second.
It Don't Come Easy would not have been written yet. Take that out and replace it with Early 1970 as Ringo's song.Delete
Amazing compilation--the best I've seen so far--great sound editing (and a well written history)ReplyDelete
Thank you very much!
simply amazing!! so glad to see this great lost album come to lightReplyDelete
It would be cool if you could do their never made album Jigsaw PuzzleReplyDelete
1. "I'm a Boy" (Slow version, released on Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy)
2. "Run Run Run"
3. "Don't Look Away"
4. "Circles" (Version 2)
5. "I Need You"
6. "Cobwebs and Strange"
7. "In the City"
8. "Boris the Spider"
9. "Whiskey Man"
10. "See My Way"
11. "Heat Wave"
12. "Barbara Ann"
Love this - great job! You need to send your suggested Lifehouse track listing to Pete Townshend. Who Knows (pun intended) - maybe he'll produce it and release this as a commercial recording.ReplyDelete
Do you mind reuploading this since the links are down?ReplyDelete
Links are fixedReplyDelete
Great blog! Think you may like mine also! If you are so inclined....:)ReplyDelete
Man...fantastic job. Reading Pete's 'Who I Am' right now and this really fills in a lot of blanks. Cheers!ReplyDelete
Awesome. The only one thing I disagree with is Water. I know everybody says it doesn't belong on there but it just seems so much like Daltrey is singing as Bobby, decrying the desert-like condition of the Lifehouse world, and literally addressing Ray when he says "I met your daughter at the oasis" with the oasis probably referring to the Lifehouse theater. Music is water and water is God. These are Townshend themes. Look at all the water as god stuff in Quadrophenia, where Townshend decided to perhaps hunker down and develop those themes in a more realistic present-day setting, since the Lifehouse ambitiousness proved overwhelming. I put it as a start to the second half of the opera. An opening salvo and mission statement from Bobby. Water is important.ReplyDelete
Where would you put Water?Delete
my version goes like this:Delete
1. Baba O'Riley
3. Love Ain't For Keeping
4. My Wife
5. The Song Is Over
6. Getting In Tune
7. Going Mobile
8. Behind Blue Eyes
9. Won't Get Fooled Again
10. Pure And Easy
11. Baby Don't You Do It
12. Naked Eye
14. Too Much Of Anything
15. I Don't Even Know Myself
16. Behind Blue Eyes

Here's a show I made recreating Lifehouse, maybe you'd like to listen? http://www.mixcloud.com/TeenageWasteland/teenage-wasteland-4-lifehouse/ReplyDelete
This is so well put together. You've given us the geratest The Who album ever! Thank you so much!ReplyDelete
I think you should do the 1977 version of Lifehouse as a sequelReplyDelete
Great work on this one. Please do more Who projects if possibleReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
As a Who fan, this is my favorite of your reconstructions. Although it's a shame that no proper stereo mix exists for "Time is Passing"; a minor stumble point in an otherwise perfect double LP. Excellent work!ReplyDelete
Greetings from France, it's beautiful :):)ReplyDelete
The work on your version of Baba O Riley keyboards is marvelous !
You know this isolated bass : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Lf10U0yZrs ???
John is a "perfectionist" when he is art director of film "The Kids are alright" in 1979. He re-recorded all the bass. This is particaly perfect !
Bonne continuation et merci
Wow. I was searching for better artwork for my version of Lifehouse. I used the trackslist from "Lifehouse Chronicles" to make my version. I noticed yours doesn't include "Music Must Change", "Sister Disco", "Slip Kid", and "Who Are You" is this because these are songs recorded later?ReplyDelete
Yes, because they were recorded later and Townshend continually revised the Lifehouse idea as he wrote new material throughout the 70s. I discarded those revisions here and stuck with his orignal set of songs.Delete
Just discovered your blog - great stuff! I've had my own "Lifehouse" playlist put together for a while, pretty much the same as yours, but your edits make it flow really well.ReplyDelete
Just curious - why did you choose the Record Plant version of "Behind Blue Eyes", as opposed to the official "Who's Next" version?
Honestly, the reason I chose the New York version of Behind Blue Eyes is because I've heard the official Who's Next version my whole life, and wanted to hear something different this time 'round. I think they're both good versions, really, and either would sit well I think.Delete
On the Classic Albums' dvd of Who's Next, both Townshend and Daltrey mention that "Pure and Easy" begin the story of Lifehouse. Just wondering why you didn't consider this for your version?ReplyDelete
Strange that I am not getting email notifications of new comments here... Otherwise I would have answered this before...Delete
Good question. Now granted I haven't seen that Classic Albums episode in like 5 years, so it's not fresh in my memory, but I'm pretty sure they said "Pure and Easy" was the first song WRITTEN for the project, not that it is literally the first song. Just like "Amazing Journey" was (I believe) the first song written for Tommy, but yet it is not meant to begin the album. The genesis of the project came from the idea of The Universal Chord, but the project evolved to not specifically be about that.
But putting that aside, "Pure and Easy" is not opening this reconstruction for three reasons:
1) Townshend himself positioned it late in the album, so I followed that.
2) Compared to other tracks (like "Baba O'Riley" or "Teenage Wasteland") it's not a very dynamic album-opner
3) I felt that "Teenage Wasteland" (or even "Baba O'Riley") better set-up the setting of the rock-opera. It seemed more important to communicate where and when we are--Ray's story--rather than the universal chord--Bobby's story.
I noticed several times you mentioned the "original crop" songs, and I think you may have very slightly moved off that. I'm fairly sure that "Join Together," "Relay," and "Put the Money Down" were written at least slightly after the rest of the songs here. They've always just sounded a little different, and there exists an early double acetate album of Pete's demos (probably what he originally presented to the band) which includes nearly all the other songs but which omit these three. After reading Pete's Who I Am autobiography last year, in which he says that even as Who's Next was being compiled he was still holding out a smidgen of hope for Lifehouse, I feel reaffirmed in the belief that he may written them after Who's Next had been released even. However, I do greatly enjoy "Join Together" and "Relay" and tend to include them in my Lifehouse playlists. "Put the Money Down," not so much, so I omit it.ReplyDelete
I also wanted to share this, a stereo sync of the missing channel of "Time Is Passing" with the officially released channel. Very well done, and it sounds great.
this is just incredible! absolutely stunning. i cant thank you enough!ReplyDelete
Just found your site and I love the idea! Thanks for giving Pete and the boys the helpful shove to completion they needed.ReplyDelete
Awesome version!! The only changes I would make: Time Is Passing (more recent stereo mix), Love Ain't For Keeping (Odds & Sods version), Behind Blue Eyes (Who's Next version) and Pure & Easy (Odds & Sods version).ReplyDelete
Does anyone else find that because Lifehouse wasn't made it has become far and away the truest piece of art The Who created? It was a project whose entire basis was on audience participation to find the one note. In a way isn't that what the fans have been doing ever since? If the Lifehouse album itself represents the One Note, then I would argue that Pete's original goal for the album has been fulfilled. Here we are over 40 years later trying to piece it all together, to find the perfect compilation, of course everyone has their own interpretation of what that should be. Some include the songs from Who's Next, some exclude the ones written at the outset (Water, Naked Eye) no matter how you splice it up the fact that members of The Who's most dedicated fans are here all this time later trying to find that perfect fit too me proves Lifehouse eventually did in fact work out pretty damn close to how Pete intended. The song is never over.ReplyDelete
Great job. It's been on my "to do" list for so long now I obviously wasn't going to get around to it. I've always thought Naked Eye was originally intended for Lifehouse - recorded a little earlier but stylistically it fits. Chris Charlesworth wrote in The Complete Guide to the Music of The Who that Entwhistle's When I Was a Boy was intended for Lifehouse.ReplyDelete
Will you ever redo this to incorporate newly available material or revise it to a more accurate tracklist?ReplyDelete
1. What is the newly available material?Delete
2. What is "more accurate"?
Im trying to make an album, what tools do you use?ReplyDelete
Excellent work with this. I had made a similar comp a while ago (with some other tracks like "Baby Don't You Do It" and "When I Was a Boy"; apparently the former, along with some possible live recordings from the Young Vic shows, were to represent part of the Lifehouse concert itself or snippets heard on the family's road-trip on side one, after "Goin' Mobile", probably, though I might have placed it later) but without the incredible mixing you've done. One gripe I've always had about Who's Next was that there was something missing, deserving the Jigsaw Puzzle title more than their unreleased 1966 LP. A version of a complete Lifehouse like this would easily be tied with Quad as my all-time favorite album; I seriously think you could send this to the Who and prove how much a Who-released version would be like a Beach Boys' SMiLE after a Brian Wilson recording.ReplyDelete
Keep up the good work!
FYI I am in the process of updating this here, which is long overdue.Delete
But rhetorical question for everyone: if The Who planned on using live recordings at The Young Vic for Lifehouse, why bother re-recording the material in the studio directly afterwards?
If I recall correctly, it would have only been non-Lifehouse performances that would have made the cut, even if the shows in their entirety would be recorded (for posterity, I guess?)Delete
Wow. This is incredible. Thank you!ReplyDelete
Great tracklist! One question though: If "Naked Eye" is not included, then why was "I Don't Even Know Myself" included? Weren't they from the same 1970 sessions? (and then "Naked Eye" was actually finished in the studio at Olympic in 1971). Thanks~ReplyDelete

I have it like this for a few reasons. I don't think "Teenage Wasteland" would've been in the final cut of the album, since it seems repetitive, being followed up so shortly afterwards with "Baba O'Riley", and I moved "Baba O'Riley" to the start, because, as established in Who's Next, it makes a great album opener. Also, my version follows the Sadler's Wells live album released by Pete Townshend, because I find that it makes more narrative logic, but I moved "Behind Blue Eyes" and "Pure and Easy" into their positions on the Lifehouse Chronicles placements, because I felt that "Behind Blue Eyes" seems rushed when near the climax, and that learning of the One Note should come before "Getting in Tune". I left out all Pete Townshend demo songs except for "Mary", in part because I don't have Lifehouse Chronicles, so I used the version of the song from Townshend's Scoop album. I put my version of the album on YouTube as a playlist, which you can click to below:
I also came up with my own album cover, which you can view below:
OK, I think I have an improved version of Lifehouse. The problem with reconstructing this album is that Townshend kept working on it after Who's Next was released. As a result, there's been confusion on what was originally intended for the album, and what was tacked on later to his Lifehouse Chronicles that fit in with the theme. Note that Put the Money Down, Relay and Join Together were all recorded after the Lifehouse/Who's Next project. Going by what was recorded by The Who (or demoed by Townshend) in 1970-71, comparing it to the Lifehouse Chronicles tracklist, and then figuring out what would have fit on four vinyl sides timewise, this is my version. Each side is under 19 min except Side A. Maybe this could have been resolved in the studio editing phase had this double album not been cut down to a single one.ReplyDelete

Well, this is what happens when you use the band's and the record company's own promotional material to write a blog article.ReplyDelete
"By 1970, The Who were undoubtably ....." - while they were indeed big, sorry, both the Stones and The Beatles were still on top over them sales wise, and certainly the Stones were as a concert draw. Also, 18 months after their debut album, Led Zeppelin were already MASSIVE - outselling the Stones album-wise three to one - and therefore far outselling The Who. Their concerts were all sellouts by now, so it is somewhat hard to compare them with the Stones or The Who's ticket sales, as there wasn't any benchmark to base it on.
Most of the audience for The Who were males - therefore, you lose a big chunk of the market with that.
Where was that cover photo done? What is the monolith?ReplyDelete

The best thing that ever happened to The Who... one of their overblown story/opera thingies fell apart and they culled the best songs... if only that had happened to Tonmmy & QuadrophreniaReplyDelete

No link today ♪♫ReplyDelete
Pity, I was very up for it after some of your works.ReplyDelete
Did find, somehow, a LIFEHOUSE reworking a bit later on.
Not sure if its yours or another musicfan. :)
I never go around on blogs . Although I think years ago some of the sites I visited for downloading were blogs, incl one made by a guy that died unfortunately...
I already forgot how I ended up on one of yours, hehehe
Listening to a Jimi Hendrix reworking of you now.
The NIRVANA one I recently found on guitars101, dont know if you did put that one up there.Not being a fan I found myself listening through it, must admit, wasnt so bad.
Unfortunatly links are not workingReplyDelete

Having completely blown us away playing for us live last year, Brighton-based CLT DRP have now announced that they will be releasing their debut album in May.
Taken from the album, ‘Where The Boys Are’ oozes the band’s immense raging passion in a seething blast of poignant, swirling electro-punk. An empowering anthem of self-realisation and new found confidence, with its breathtaking power it showcases CLT DRP’s ability to convey a pertinent message within an incredible, raging cacophony. Of the track, front-person Annie Dorrett explains:
“It’s a love song to some of my favourite female artists, a big thank you to my mom for being such a powerhouse and lastly a big f*ck you to all the TERFS out there spreading hate. It’s also just a really playful song to perform with the band, you get a lot of different elements of our sound all jammed into one piece.”
Double A-Side ‘Where The Boys Are’/’Worth It’ is out 18th March. And CLT DRP’s upcoming debut album Without The Eyes is out 15th May via Small Pond Records.

“Please let me enter my home once. There are some important documents of my son who has a job interview today. This is my only request,” says an elderly man to a police official. However, the ardent request of 60-year-old Ananta Das falls on deaf ears as the policemen outside his home turn down his offer keeping in mind his safety.
Ananta Das is not alone. About a hundred residents of Durga Pituri Lane in the congested Bowbazar area in central Kolkata gathered around a police control room on Monday with similar pleas to be let inside their homes — a day after they were evacuated as nearly 18 buildings developed cracks due to the ongoing underground tunnel boring work for East-West metro railway project.
In an unprecedented situation, as many as 260 residents of Bowbazar area were shifted to different hotels on Sunday after portions of some buildings collapsed as the underground tunnel got waterlogged. “Proper food is not being served in the hotel. They are complaining about their business being hit. Somehow we have managed to spend these two days. We also don’t have cash to buy essentials as police are not letting us enter our home,” a teary-eyed Bidisha Devi said.
People of Bowbazar, a stone’s throw away from the Sealdah station, one of the major railway terminals of Kolkata, have not been able to sleep peacefully in the past two days. What has got the residents worried is the fact that Metro authorities might raze the houses that have developed cracks if repairs are not possible since some of the buildings are about 100-200 years old. The people who have been evacuated have neither clothes nor cash to survive beyond a couple of days. Even the numerous ornament shops dotting Bowbazar, known as the jewellery hub of Kolkata, remained closed on Monday.
The residents of Durga Pituri Lane have complained that the metro railway officials did not undertake a proper survey of the houses and the place as a whole, before carrying out the underground tunnel work. The cracks that started developing from Saturday evening turned worse on Monday, with plasters coming off and balconies of some houses collapsing.
The matter is not only limited to Durga Pituri Lane but has also hit residents of the adjoining Gour De Lane. Purnima De, who stays at house number 4, said a few days ago metro officials had come and served notice, stating that they have to vacate our homes for two days on August 21 and 22.
“They had asked us to hand over the keys of the house to them. They reasoned that the metro tunnel will be built underneath this area and we are being asked to vacate keeping in mind our safety. For two days, residents of Gour De lane were shifted to nearby hotels and lodges,” De said.
Purnima said that upon returning to her home on August 23, she saw the building being held up with thick steel reinforcing rods and cracks had developed in several areas inside the house, rendering it vulnerable. “Since then, no one has come to survey the house. After Saturday’s incident, plasters have started coming off even though the authorities have not asked us to vacate our homes. We are living in fear as we don’t know when the building will come crumbling down,” she said.
Portions of a building belonging to Subhol Saha collapsed on top of Badal Mondal’s house on Saturday evening. However, Metro authorities have not arranged a separate lodging facility for the family of Subhol Saha and they are spending their days on the streets.
The developments in the past two days have sent alarm bells ringing in neighbouring areas as well.
Saswati De, a resident of Babu Ram Seal Lane, about a km away from Durga Pituri Lane, lives with her family in a 120-year-old two-storey building. “Even though there have been no cracks at our home, we living in panic as we don’t know when the authorities may ask us to vacate our home. The whole area is in a state of shock as there are quite a few dilapidated building here. There is a risk to our lives as well,” the 52-year-old said.
The underground tunnel that caused problems in the Bowbazar area will connect Esplanade with Sealdah. The KMRCL is constructing the East-West metro corridor connecting IT hub Sector V in Salt Lake to Howrah Maidan. Tunnels have been bored under the River Hooghly to connect the twin cities of Kolkata and Howrah through the rapid transit system.
A Kolkata Metro Rail Corporation Limited (KMRCL) said work was being carried out carefully keeping in mind that there were several old buildings in the north Kolkata area.
“The problem started when tunnel boring work was being conducted in the underground stretch between Hind Cinema and Durga Pithuri Lane. Underground water suddenly gushed in the tunnel and the soil above became loose, leading to the collapse of three-four buildings. It is a very unfortunate incident. I do not remember if this kind of incident happened before,” he said.

What to Look for When Buying a Radiator for Your Car
Construction --- The most trusted and commonly used radiators these days are those that are made of aluminum because they're tougher and not prone to corrosion unlike other radiator options out there.
Tubing ---The bigger and wider the tubes in the radiator, the better. The truth is, wide tubes maximize the contact that the coolant makes and because of that, more heat is absorbed from the engine. Aside from the width of the tubes, the thickness also determines how quickly the heat can be absorbed. Generally, the thickness of the walls should be minimized.
Airflow --- For the radiator to function effectively, air should be able to flow freely through the core. That means radiators that have more fins are recommended by engine experts. However, too many fins could actually crowd and block the right airflow. A radiator with 15 fins is the best choice because it allows air to move freely for proper heat dissipation.
Radiator Fans ---Believe it or not, mechanical radiator fans can eat up as much as 20 horsepower or 6500 RPM and that's the reason why you should switch to electric radiator fans. By using electric radiator fans, the movement of air inside the radiator would be improved and as a result, there's less chance that your car's engine would overheat.
Coolant Restriction ---For your car to operate at optimum levels, it's important that coolant should never be restricted. You see, no matter how well built a radiator is, it's as good as useless if its coolant is actually being restricted.
So before buying a brand-new radiator for your car, you better consider all things that were mentioned above that's because you don't want to spend anything on something that would simply disappoint you.

Father in Crisis: The Invisible Child
Father in Crisis: The Invisible Child carries you from the emergency room, home to the empty nursery, revealing the hidden shadows of miscarriage from a father’s perspective. Dr. Burt Wilbur shares from the perspective of a father of three invisible children lost over the span of 30 years, to equip others in dealing with the trauma of miscarriage. Portions of this writing have been used by county health departments, ministers, and a ministry helping couples with fertility issues over the last 30 years. Counselors, clergy, and laity should find this informative and insightful in ministering to Fathers in Crisis. Dr. Wilbur seeks to tactfully deal with cultural issues that complicate understanding miscarriage and the trauma caused at the loss of an invisible child.

Rioters, some of whom burned several Jewish-owned stores, face police in a Paris suburb on July 20, 2014. AP Photo/Thibault Camus
A recent survey conducted by a British firm, ICM Research, and published on August 14 by the Russian press agency Rossiya Segodnia, tested European opinion toward the jihadist Sunni organization now known as Islamic State (IS). Reassuringly, the poll showed solid majorities in France, Germany, and the UK opposed to IS and what it stands for. Presumably, this would have satisfied Rossiya Segodnya’s primary interest in the exercise, since IS is a foe both of the Assad regime in Syria (a Russian ally) and of Iran (a Russian partner).


Last week at SES San Jose I caught up with Topher Kohan, search engine optimizer for CNN, and interviewed him about the shift from print to digital media. He had some interesting things to say and is a big advocate of newspapers altering their business model and converting to an entirely digital publication platform. Topher feels that holding a hard copy of a newspaper is a good nostalgia trip but that everyday news will, for the most part, continue to be digested by users and readers from the Internet and other digital means.
What do you guys think? Should all print news publications throw in the towel and start offering up all their information digitally, save for the occasional commemorative publication when something monumentally newsworthy and historical occurs? How, in your opinion, can print publications have the best of both worlds and continue to operate successfully in both print and digital worlds? Drop your comments below, or tweet at us (@10e20)!

Welcome to Ferma Flooring, your trusted experts in Home & Garden, Contractors, and Flooring solutions. In this article, we will delve into the differences between two popular flooring options - bamboo flooring and hardwood flooring. Whether you are renovating your home or embarking on a new project, understanding the pros and cons of each material will help you make an informed decision.
Bamboo Flooring: Nature's Sustainable Solution
Bamboo flooring has gained significant popularity due to its environmentally friendly nature. Bamboo is a fast-growing grass that regenerates quickly, making it a sustainable choice. Its rapid growth allows for faster harvesting compared to traditional hardwood, making it an ideal option for eco-conscious homeowners.
- Strength and Durability: Bamboo flooring is known for its exceptional strength and durability. With a similar hardness to some hardwood species like Red Oak, it can withstand high foot traffic areas and resist dents and scratches.
- Versatility: Bamboo flooring comes in a variety of styles, colors, and finishes, allowing for endless design possibilities. Whether you prefer a modern or rustic look, bamboo flooring offers numerous choices to suit your taste.
- Moisture Resistance: Bamboo flooring has excellent moisture resistance properties when properly installed and maintained. It is less susceptible to warping and contraction in humid conditions compared to hardwood.
- Easy Maintenance: Cleaning bamboo flooring is a breeze. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with a damp cloth is all it takes to keep it looking pristine. Additionally, bamboo flooring is known to have a natural resistance to termites, making it a suitable option for termite-prone areas.
Hardwood Flooring: Timeless Elegance
Hardwood flooring has been a classic choice for decades, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to any space. Its timeless charm and natural appeal have made it a sought-after option for those looking to elevate their interior design.
- Unmatched Beauty: Hardwood flooring boasts a unique, natural aesthetic that adds warmth and character to any room. With a wide range of species available, each offering distinctive patterns and colors, you can find the perfect hardwood flooring to complement your style.
- Longevity: When properly maintained, hardwood flooring can last for generations. Its durability and longevity make it a sound investment that can increase the value of your property.
- Refinishing Options: Unlike many other flooring materials, hardwood floors can be sanded and refinished multiple times. This feature allows you to refresh the appearance and remove any surface imperfections, ensuring your flooring maintains its original beauty for years to come.
- Health and Allergen-Friendly: Hardwood flooring is an excellent choice for individuals with allergies or sensitivities. Unlike carpets, it does not trap dust, pollen, or other allergens, promoting better indoor air quality.
The Comparison: Bamboo vs Hardwood Flooring
Cost and Affordability
When it comes to cost, bamboo flooring generally has a lower price point compared to hardwood flooring. With various quality options available, bamboo flooring allows you to achieve an attractive, durable floor while staying within budget. Hardwood flooring, on the other hand, tends to be more expensive due to factors such as the species, rarity, and installation complexity.
Both bamboo and hardwood flooring have their environmental benefits. Bamboo, as a fast-growing grass, is considered highly sustainable. It is an excellent alternative for those concerned about deforestation and carbon footprints. Hardwood, however, comes from natural forests and requires careful sourcing to ensure responsible harvesting practices. Opting for certified sustainable hardwood is crucial in minimizing environmental impact.
Installing bamboo flooring is relatively straightforward, similar to hardwood flooring. Both options can be installed as either glued-down, nail-down, or floating floors. However, it's important to consult with professionals to ensure proper installation techniques are followed, maximizing the longevity and performance of your chosen flooring.
Maintenance and Durability
Bamboo and hardwood flooring require regular maintenance to preserve their beauty. Both can be swept and vacuumed, though it's important to avoid using harsh chemicals or excess water for cleaning. Hardwood flooring may require refinishing over time to remove surface imperfections, while bamboo flooring may need occasional resealing depending on the specific product.
Design and Aesthetic Appeal
The design and aesthetic appeal of your flooring play a significant role in your overall interior design. Bamboo flooring offers a sleek, modern look with a wide array of finishes and colors to choose from. Hardwood flooring, on the other hand, exudes timeless elegance and can act as a centerpiece, enhancing the overall ambience of your space. Ultimately, the choice between the two depends on your personal style and the atmosphere you wish to create.
Choosing between bamboo flooring and hardwood flooring is a personal decision that depends on numerous factors, such as budget, environmental impact, and design preference. Whether you prioritize sustainability, durability, or the natural beauty of hardwood, Ferma Flooring is here to guide you through the decision-making process.
With our extensive experience and expertise in Home & Garden, Contractors, and Flooring solutions, we can help you find the perfect flooring choice for your project. Contact Ferma Flooring today and take the first step towards creating a stunning and functional space that suits your needs and style.bamboo flooring vs hardwood flooring

CAIRO — Fighting between the Sudanese army and a powerful militia has displaced more than 1.3 million people, the UN’s refugee agency said on Wednesday.
The International Organization for Migration says the conflict has forced more than 1 million people to flee their homes to safer areas inside Sudan. About 320,000 others have fled to neighboring countries of Egypt, South Sudan, Chad, Ethiopia, the Central African Republic and Libya.
The war began on April 15 after months of escalating clashes between the army, led by General Abdel-Fattah Burhan, and the Rapid Support Forces led by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo. The conflict has undermined Sudanese hopes of restoring the country’s fragile transition to democracy, which was derailed by a coup led by the two leaders in October 2021.
The fighting has killed at least 863 people, including at least 190 children, and injured more than 3,530 others, according to the latest figures from the Sudanese Doctors’ Syndicate – which tracks casualties. It has also left East Africa devastated, with urban areas in the capital, Khartoum, and the neighboring city of Omdurman turning into battlefields.
Egypt has the largest number of refugees, with at least 132,360 people, followed by Chad with 80,000 and South Sudan with 69,000, the agency added.
All but one of Sudan’s 18 provinces have been displaced, with Khartoum at the top of the list accounting for nearly 70% of all displaced people, according to the IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix.
Moderate fighting will continue on Wednesday in several areas, although a ceasefire is in place this week. Residents reported hearing gunshots and explosions in the center of Khartoum and areas near the military base in Omdurman.
Both sides in Wednesday’s clash traded charges for violating the curfew.
A week-long ceasefire, brokered by the United States and Saudi Arabia, began on Monday night. It was the latest international effort to push humanitarian aid to the conflict-ridden country.
A joint statement from the US and Saudi Arabia late Tuesday warned that neither the Sudanese military nor the Rapid Support Forces saw a long-term ceasefire.
The document said: “The people of Sudan continue to suffer because of this terrible conflict.” The organization asked both sides to “follow through on their promises and to establish a temporary ceasefire to help people who need immediate assistance.”
Earlier on Tuesday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned both sides of possible sanctions if the latest moratorium is not followed.
But on Wednesday, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters in Washington that a ceasefire had been reached, despite reports of fires in Khartoum and elsewhere.
“Ultimately, it is up to the Sudanese military and the Rapid Action Force to achieve this.” Kirby said. “But actually, for the most part, it seems to be working. I want to warn you, it’s early, I mean, it just started working yesterday evening. We’ve seen the film. So, we’re getting pretty good at what we see.”
The fighting has exacerbated the dire situation in Sudan. According to the UN, the number of people in need of assistance this year has increased by 57% to reach 24.7 million people, which is more than half of the country’s population. The international organization says it needs 2.6 billion dollars to help the people who need it the most.
The UN’s special envoy on sexual violence, Pramila Patten, meanwhile, said on Wednesday she was “deeply concerned” by reports of sexual abuse of women.
“There is strong evidence that it is armed groups that have committed sexual violence, including rape, against women and girls,” he said in a statement.
He added that most of the sexual assaults took place in residential areas in Khartoum, or while fleeing fighting in the capital.
Other attacks on women also took place in the western region of Darfur, where sexual violence against women has been reported continuously over the past two decades, he said.
He called for an investigation into the allegations and urged all to take immediate action against the suspects, including suspending or removing them from the public.
Associated Press writers Jon Gambrell in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Aamer Madhani in Washington contributed.

SOURCE: Is my Motherboard compatible?
Try to find out what the AGP voltage is on the motherboard.
Some graphics cards use 1.5 volts and some use 3.
If it's a 1.5 volt AGP slot and you plug a 3 volt graphics card in, it either wont work or you could permanantly damage both card and motherboard.

Nahh...you can use that gpu with that mobo, but i wouldent recomend it. The GPU - Requires NVIDIA HybridPower™- enabled motherboard, and that mobo dosent have that. It might work but you cant use the full power of that gpu on that mobo. And beside that, that gpu is bigger then the mobo itself
I sugest you to buy another mobo, the gpu you looking at is a good one but your mobo isent that good.
Here is the spec for the GPU:

In the pre-WWII era Packard was the epitome of luxury motoring. "Ask the man who owns one" was their slogan and that stays true to this very day. The Packard is the best designed and best driving classic American car ever made and this car on offer is a fantastic example of Packards best.
Offered here is a very nice 1930 Packard 740 Super Eight Phaeton. In 1930 Packards super eight engine was 105 horsepower and still continuing the very bulletproof flathead 8 cylinder design making the 1930 models powerful yet reliable. Previously having a longtime owner in Pennsylvania who restored the car 20 years ago, this car has since had a mechanical overhaul and cosmetic refreshing. All the chrome has been redone, porcelain manifolds restored, upholstery redone and a new top. Since it has won a first in class at the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance in 2018. Mechanically it runs and drives incredibly well and is ready to be shown and driven this summer. Contact us today for more information.
