For many music historians, the seventies was the golden age of rock. During the golden age of rock, concept albums and rock operas were commonplace. Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Yes, Genesis, The Who were responsible for some of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful concept albums and rock operas. They sold in their millions, and are now regarded as classic albums. Some groups did more to popularise the concept album.
None more so than Pink Floyd. Some of their finest albums were concept albums, including Dark Side Of The Moon, Animals, Wish You Were Here and The Wall. Coming a close second in the concept album stakes were Genesis, with concept albums that included Trespass, Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. Jethro Tull got in on the act too, releasing Thick As A Brick and Never To Old To Rock 'N' Roll. So did Yes, another master of the concept album, with Fragile, Close To The Edge and Tales From Topographic Oceans a trio of classics. These are just a few of the greatest concept albums of the seventies, the golden era of rock. Another reminder of this golden era was the rock opera.
The Who were responsible for two of the best known, rock operas, Tommy and Quadrophenia. They enjoyed commercial success and critical acclaim during the seventies. So did Pink Floyd's The Wall. It was still enjoying rave reviews long after the concept album and rock opera had fallen from favour.
As the seventies drew to a close, many saw the concept album and rock opera as belonging in the seventies. Groups like Genesis, Yes and Pink Floyd still continued to release the occasional concept album. However, by the eighties, it was thought that neither the concept album nor the rock opera would make a comeback.
They never really have. The rock opera seems a remnant of musical history. To some extent, so is the concept album. Sadly, in the past thirty-five years, there's never been a time when the album charts have been filled with critically acclaimed, cerebral, concept albums. However, one group has been trying to bring back the glory days of the concept album, Canadian band, House Of Not.
Toronto based House Of Not haven't been content to release one concept album. Instead, they've released three albums in what's going to be a five album rock odyssey. It's a truly ambitious project, one that the enigmatic, Canadian band have spent twelve years working on. So far, only three volumes of what's billed as "The House Of Not Project" have been released.
This is one of the most ambitious projects any band has embarked upon in the last decades. The House Of Not decided in the early part of the new millennia to begin work on a five album rock odyssey. Over the five albums, House Of Not document the journey of troubadour A. Nexter Niode, who busks his way through what's described as a futuristic, "exotic land." This gunslinging guitarist's journey began in 2003.
It was back in 2003, when House Of Not released The Walkabout Of A. Nexter Niode-Part One-Off The Path, on Freak Street Productions. This was the start of this five part odyssey for House Of Not and their friends.
For The Walkabout Of A. Nexter Niode-Part One-Off The Path, A. Nexter, a.k.a. Brian Erikson had written fourteen tracks. He took charge of vocals, and added pipes and bells. Lou Ropolli played all the guitars; while Ken O'Gorman played bass, mandolin and backing guitars. Joining House Of Not were a number of what's billed as "House Guests." These musicians and backing vocalists augment House Of Not on Off The Path-Part One. The "House Guests" play everything from drums to didgeridoo, and help fill out the sound. While this is going on, House Of Not take charge of production; and once The Walkabout Of A. Nexter Niode-Part One-Off The Path was complete, they mixed the album. The Walkabout Of A. Nexter Niode-Part One-Off The Path was then scheduled for release in 2003.
When The Walkabout Of A. Nexter Niode-Part One-Off The Path was released in 2003, it proved to be no ordinary album. Billed as "The Walkabout Of A. Nexter Niode." Over the fourteen tracks, eighteen year old Nexter takes a "trip," and discovers Icon City. This is a land where the majority live in poverty, in servitude to the powerful tyrant, they call Hypocrite. He has transformed, and many would say ruined, the once utopian Sanctuary into a technologically indoctrinated collective. This once utopian dream has become a nightmare. That's until a wanderer, dreamer and troubadour discovers Icon City.
It's then that A. Nexter Niode sets about destroying both the status quo, and a despot's fraudulent and tyrannical reign. This wander, dreamer and troubadour is The Wayfarer, A. Nexter Niode, who chances upon this secretive, and once proud city. Its story unfolds over the fourteen tracks on The Walkabout Of A. Nexter Niode-Part One-Off The Path. Before that, the listener is introduced to the cast of characters.
Apart from the hero of the story, A. Nexter Niode, The Wayfarer, there's the heroine, Silk, a.k.a. Lady Sadness. She becomes Nexter's lover and muse. However, Nexter's confidant is Hope, a.k.a. Lady-In-Waiting. Schadenfreude is billed as the villain of the piece. A tyrant and hypocrite, he rules Icon City with an iron fist. Then there's Fred, The Piper, the father of Silk, and the family patriarch. He and his family have had their lives turned upside down. The final character is Number One, the narrator, who with the rest of House Of Not, guide the listener through the story on The Walkabout Of A. Nexter Niode-Part One-Off The Path, the first of this five part rock odyssey.
Homeric. That descries a rock odyssey in five parts. However, House Of Not don't take long to tell the story of the first fifteen years of A. Nexter Niode's life on Force Of Nature, which opens The Walkabout Of A. Nexter Niode-Part One-Off The Path. From conception through birth to adolescence, House Of Not spend just four minutes telling the story of what seems like an unremarkable life. As they do, House Of Not seem to draw inspiration from Kings of the concept album, Pink Floyd. Especially, Pink Floyd circa 1973, when they released Dark Side Of The Moon. Right down the backing vocals, House Of Not sound sonically and stylistically, like one of British's music's finest exports. It's a case of wallowing in an arrangement that's dramatic, progressive and ethereal, which whet the listener's appetite.
Everything seems to be getting on top of Nexter on Mainstream. From his family and friends, right through to his boss and even the government, things are getting to Nexter. Constantly he questions everything and everyone. His questions are left unanswered by those Nexter consider the establishment. Nexter feeling even more confused and persecuted, is desperate to escape. This becomes apparent on what starts off as a thoughtful, acoustic, guitar lead ballad. Later, it takes on a much more rocky sound. It's not unlike Pink Floyd on The Final Cut. Especially, the arrangement, which features impassioned, pleading vocal, asking Nexter not to go.
He's minds almost made up. Then when he meets a much more seasoned "wayfarer" on Footnotes, Nexter is convinced to take the "trip." He decides he wants to become a troubadour, traveling from city to city busking for change. There's a condition though.
The veteran wayfarer explains he's got to play with passion. That's the case on Footnotes, which meanders melodically alone, the veteran wayfarer explaining the rules of the game to the newcomer on a meandering, melodic fusion of folk, rock and psychedelia. Then the sage like wayfarer unleashes a blazing guitar solo, and Nexter knows what's expected of him, as he begins his journey.
Although everyone thinks Nexter is heading for "destination unknown," he's meant to be heading East. That's where he will meet great, and wise men. Nexter is meant to learn from them, which should help Nexter discover his destiny. However, the plan goes awry, on the lysergic sounding Off The Path.
As he journeys, Nexter travels far and wide, constantly discovering new and exotic lands. Providing the soundtrack are two instrumentals, Off the Path and Taj Mahal Daydream, which are mesmeric melting pots of influences, Wistful and ethereal sounding describes Taj Mahal Daydream. That's fitting. Nexter is far from home, and what he knows. He's far removed from his comfort zone. Then Nexter comes across what he thinks is another exotic lands, Icon City.
It's a case of all that glitters isn't gold in Icon City. despot's fraudulent and tyrannical reign. Schadenfreude, The Hypocrite rules the Icon City. He's ruined this once proud city, whose people live in poverty, and are in servitude to The Hypocrite. It's this once proud, but now secretive city the nomadic Nexter, dreamer, idealist and troubadour decides to unpack his guitar and play with pasion.
Once he's looked around Icon City, Nexter the troubadour, settles down by the fountain in the square, and begins to play his guitar. It's then that Nexter sees a beautiful, but almost haunted woman. This is Silk, who we're introduced to in the thoughtful ballad Sad Silk. Sadness seems to exudes from Silk's very pore. She's known as Lady Sadness, but there's a reason for this sadness.
In Icon City, Silk is an unwilling associate of Schadenfreude, The Hypocrite. She loathes and fears him. Her twin fears are that she'll have to submit to his political ambitions and sexual desires. That's been her fears from an early age.
Sllk, who is worshipped by her people, was snatched from her heartbroken father, Fred The Piper when she was young. Since then, she's been enslaved, and unable to escape,..until now, when she meets a strangers to Icon City.
Nexter is in the crowd as Silk makes her way through her people, on Sad Silk. At once, he's smitten, and vies for Silk's affections. As Nexter gazes spellbound and lovingly at Silk. She in turn becomes a temptress, teasing and testing Nexter during The Walkabout. Sad Silk tells the story of this encounter. There's a sense of sadness from the opening bars, as the story of this almost tragic figure unfolds. She dreams of escape, but The Hypocrite won't let that happen.
When she sees Nexter looking longingly at Silk, she challenges him by saying: "you pretend." All the time, Schadenfreude's watchful eye burns into Nester. Then the spell is broken.
It's Nexter that breaks the spell. He's involved in an unseemly exchange, and when Schadenfreude takes his eye of Nexter, he announces he's going to take Silk away, and be true to her. It's then that Schadenfreude says: "be true and be cursed!" From Icon City, Nexter beats a hasty retreat.
Next stop for Nexter is the Middle East. As he continues his travels, he wonders in A Mile in Those Shoes what his friends and family would think of him now? Again, the arrangement starts off with an understated sound, but grows and builds, before showcasing a much harder, rockier sound. Seamlessly, A Mile in Those Shoes gives way to Sacred Cow. While it has a similar sound, the subject matter is different. Here, Nexter ponders the subject of state and religious fundamentalism. Then it's all change.
Ol' Phat Fok sounds as if it's providing the soundtrack to an old Western. Then a jazz-tinged horn punctuates the arrangement, and Nexter might as well be on Beale Street, New Orleans. He's comparing his relationship with his nemesis The Hypocrite, with that of latter day icons, whether religious, political or corporate. He does this against what can only be described as a genre-melting arrangement. House Of Not continue to spring surprises. A swaggering slice of rock briefly explodes. So does a brief bluesy jam, before Nexter remembers The Hypocrite's words: "I "curse you to be true. Be true and be cursed!" With those words ringing in his ears, Nexter continues his journey.
He finds himself on Freak Street, in Kathmandu, Nepal. This famous street is at the heart of the city's counterculture. A new type of counterculture is taking shape. As it does, Nexter meets and befriends Friedrich, an eccentric finger-painter. He helps Nexter to discover a new type of rock 'n' roll. However, Nexter will only fully comprehend this genre, once his journey is at an end. This part of Nexter's "trip" is documented in the lysergic, otherworldly, and almost post rock sounding Freak Street. It features another scorching guitar solo, which sounds as if Nexter's been reborn, and found his inner Hendrix. Just when everything seems to be going to plan, danger is ahead.
On Stranger, a six minute epic, drama and danger are omnipresent as the song unfolds. Guitar runs are accompanied by chimes, bells and a myriad of other sounds. This is the cue for Nexter to look at himself in the mirror, and realise that's he's straying further from the world he knows and is familiar with. It's like Alice In Wonderland, albeit with a rocky backdrop. However, one can't help wonder if rather than a a journey in the traditional sense, Nexter is in the throes of a prolonged LSD trip, as he seems to be losing touch with reality?
High In The Himalayas is a variation of of a Buddhist hymn. In this melancholy, guitar lead instrumental, one can hear the wind blow, and almost imagine Nexter scaling the Himalayas in search of spiritual salvation. There's also a cinematic quality to the track. It sounds as if it's been composed by Ry Cooder for a Wim Wenders' soundtrack. Other times, it references the Berlin School of the late-seventies, early eighties. Blood From A Stone also has an eighties influence.
Straight away, Blood From A Stone, is reminiscent of Dire Straits early eighties albums. Soon, though a Pink Floyd influence shines through. By then, Nexter realises that he's come to a conclusion. He something else, but he doesn't know what. One thing he doesn't want, is certainty. So Nexter decides to rethink his future.
Sanctuary, which closes The Walkabout Of A. Nexter Niode-Part One-Off The Path, has a similar sound to Blood From A Stone. It's as if House Of Not have drawn inspiration from Pink Floyd and Dire Straits. Meanwhile, Nexter seeks solitude, as he considers what path to take on this journey that's life. House Of Not have closed The Walkabout Of A. Nexter Niode-Part One-Off The Path on a cliff-hanger.
There's a reason for this. The Walkabout Of A. Nexter Niode-Part One-Off The Path is the first in a five part rock odyssey from House Of Not. This first volume was released in 2003, on Freak Street Productions, and showcases a tight, talented and polished band.
That becomes apparent straight away. House Of Not are obviously experienced musicians. They sound as if House Of Not have learnt from the masters. Sometimes, House Of Not seem to have been inspired by some of the biggest names in rock, including Pink Floyd, Yes, Dire Straits and Genesis. That's when the band play as one. Other times, when it's a much more understated, acoustic sound, we hear a different sound to House Of Not.
On the much more understated sounding track, often, it's just Brian Erikson and an acoustic guitar, as the song takes shape. He's transformed, as the rest of House Of Not disappear into the shadows. All of sudden, Brian Erikson take centre-stage as he dawns the role of troubadour. He embraces and lives role, bringing life and meaning to the lyrics that are variously cerebral, thoughtful, beautiful and sometimes, full of social comment. House Of Not don't shy away from the big issues, on an album that harks back to the golden era a rock, the seventies.
That was the age of the concept album. Back then, concept albums were inspired by numerous subjects, including mythology and science fiction, to religion, politics and war, and subjects as diverse as greed, money and madness. These subjects played their part in some of the greatest concept albums. However, they were all one offs. House Of Not have decided that they're rock odyssey will be in five parts. The Walkabout Of A. Nexter Niode-Part One-Off The Path is the just the first step in a journey that's variously Homeric, Joycean, lysergic and surreal.
Indeed, surreal is a good description of The Walkabout Of A. Nexter Niode-Part One-Off The Path. Sometimes, The Walkabout Of A. Nexter Niode-Part One-Off The Path is a bit like Alice In Wonderland. Nothing is quite as it seems. One can't help wonder if the whole journey is LSD trip, where Nexter has kicked open the doors of perfection, and sprinted off at speed? If it is, will Nexter be able to close the doors? That will only become apparent when the next part of Nexter's trip unfolds.
If it's matches the quality of The Walkabout Of A. Nexter Niode-Part One-Off The Path, then it will be a captivating, enjoyable and genre-melting trip. Over the fourteen tracks, House Of Not flitted between blues, classic rock, country, folk, folk rock, post rock, progressive rock and psychedelia, These genres melt into one on a cinematic and cerebral album that harks back to the golden age of rock, The Walkabout Of A. Nexter Niode-Part One-Off The Path.

I just bought a Raspberry Pi to use for monitoring the daily power output from my recently installed solar panels (detailed post coming soon). After hooking it up to a keyboard, mouse, screen via HDMI etc… I turned it on and waited…. and waited…. and…. well…. nothing!!
D'oh! Was it DOA? Was I doing something wrong? Did I have the wrong input source selected on my monitor? I tried 2 different HDMI cables, as well as 2 different RCA composite cables with no success. I tried a different monitor. Still no luck. I tried 3 different power configurations – the Pi is powered via a USB cable – from the powered USB hub, my laptop and direct from an Apple iPhone charger. Still nothing! Sigh, now I was getting frustrated.
The Pi was supposed to come with Raspbian Linux pre-installed from the vendor, on an 8GB SD card. This is what the Pi uses as the hard drive. Thankfully I got a USB SD card reader and checked the contents of the card. It was blank!
What I also didn't realise is that there is no POST screen on the Pi, and in fact there is actually no BIOS, it's all in the OS. So when I was trying to figure out what was going on after powering the Pi on, there were no messages about the missing OS. This is what you normally see on a PC – the POST screen scrolling by and then a missing OS message or something.
It turns out the supplier has had some issues with the imaging and some duds slipped through. I quickly got to work downloading the Raspbian image and the SD card formatting software, and prepped the OS image on the SD card.
Now I could try and boot the Pi again…. this time it worked. The system appeared to boot and all was well.

Why is dryer vent cleaning so important?
Dangers of blocked dryer vents
If there's one device most property owners in Fayetteville rely on to get chores done, it's the clothes dryer. Do not let your dryer end up being a fire danger due to the fact that it's not cleaned up regularly and appropriately.
Inning accordance with the U.S. Fire Administration's National Fire Data Center, clothing dryers are responsible for roughly 15,600 structure fires around the nation each year. Eighty percent of these fires begin with clogged clothes dryer vents, and lead to 15 deaths and 400 injuries usually each year. Countless other home occupants are treated for symptoms of dangerous gas fumes that back up into the house due to blocked dryer vents.
Well, what's the lint trap for?
Yes, cleaning up the lint trap in your clothes dryer is a great practice, but it's insufficient to prevent a fire from beginning in your clogged dryer vent. To keep your dryer efficient and safe, change any vinyl or plastic flexible shift ducts between the dryer and the primary vent (typically located inside a wall) with a semi-rigid metal shift duct, given that plastic and vinyl shift ducts can catch fire, unlike the semi-rigid metal ducts.
Make certain the opening of the dryer vent exhaust outside is devoid of any birds' nests, bushes or other debris that builds up with time.

E.F. Lippert - Summary Hearing Report, April 22, 1997
Summary Hearing Report, April 22, 1997
50 Wolf Road Albany,
New York 12233-1550
In the Matter
- of -
the Application of
for a modified permit to expand its sand and gravel mine in the Town of Allegany, Cattaraugus County.
DEC Application No. 9-0420-00054/00002
- by -
Edward Buhrmaster
Administrative Law Judge
April 22, 1997
Summary Hearing Report
E.F. Lippert & Company, Inc. ("the Applicant") proposes a 65-acre expansion of a previously permitted 50.1-acre surface unconsolidated sand, gravel and topsoil mine. The proposed expansion area is located east and south of the existing mine and southeast of the intersection of Zink Road (formerly Birch Run Road) and South Nine Mile Road in the Town of Allegany, Cattaraugus County.
The existing operation involves excavating to about 45 feet below the local groundwater table. Such excavation would continue on the expansion acreage with no change in mine operating procedures. The reclamation objective is an additional 58 acres of lake and 7 acres of lake shore. The expansion would extend the mine's life about 15 years, the Applicant estimates.
Permit Processing
The Applicant seeks to modify its Mined Land Reclamation Law permit issued pursuant to Article 23, Title 27, of the New York State Environmental Conservation Law ("ECL") and Parts 420-423 of Title 6 of the New York Code of Rules and Regulations ("6 NYCRR Parts 420-423"). Its application was received by Department of Environmental Conservation ("DEC") Staff on August 5, 1994.
After coordination with the Town of Allegany, DEC became lead agency for review of the project pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act ("SEQRA", ECL Article 8). On October 28, 1994, DEC issued a Positive Declaration, determining that the mine expansion would have a significant effect on the environment. A draft Environmental Impact Statement ("EIS") was accepted by DEC on December 6, 1996, and the permit application was determined to be complete on December 9, 1996. DEC's Notice of Complete Application and Availability of the Draft EIS was published in the Olean Times Herald on December 13, 1996, and DEC's Environmental Notice Bulletin on December 18, 1996.
DEC Staff accepted comments on the application and draft EIS until January 17, 1997. Objection letters from nine nearby landowners and a 79-signature petition against the expansion were received during the comment period. A comment letter from the Town of Allegany related the concerns of facility neighbors but did not state that the Town opposed permit issuance or requested particular permit conditions. On February 18, 1997, DEC's Region 9 Staff referred the matter to DEC's Office of Hearings and Mediation Services for scheduling of a legislative hearing and issues conference.
Legislative Hearing
Consistent with a hearing notice issued on March 12, 1997, I held a legislative hearing at 7 p.m. on April 15, 1997, at the Allegany Town Hall on Main Street, Allegany. The hearing was held to receive public comments on the application for the mine expansion, the accompanying draft EIS, and a draft permit prepared by DEC Staff. Notice of the hearing was provided in the Olean Times Herald and the March 19, 1997, edition of the Environmental Notice Bulletin. Copies of the notice were also distributed to local officials and people who had previously commented on the mine expansion.
At the hearing five people who live near the project site spoke against the expansion, expressing concerns about noise, dust, possible well water impacts, diminishment of property values, and safety issues associated with development of a large lake. No one spoke in favor of the project, although prior to the hearing 16 letters supporting the project were received in response to the hearing notice. Many were from the Applicant's customers, including Cattaraugus County, the City of Olean, the Towns of Allegany, Portville, and Hinsdale, private construction, electrical and landscaping contractors, a concrete manufacturer, and a logging company. Most of the letters stressed the quality of the Applicant's product and the transportation-cost savings associated with having the facility nearby.
Issues Conference
As announced in the hearing notice, I held an issues conference at 10:30 a.m. on April 16, 1997, also at the Allegany Town Hall. The Applicant was represented by J. Michael Shane, Esq., of Olean, New York. DEC Staff was represented by David Stever, Esq., of DEC's Region 9 office in Buffalo.
The hearing notice provided an opportunity for interested persons to file for party status at a hearing which would adjudicate permit-related issues. However, no filings were received prior to the deadline set in the notice, and no late filings were presented at the issues conference. Therefore, the only conference participants were the Applicant and DEC Staff.
DEC Staff's position was that the mine expansion met all relevant permitting criteria, and that a modified permit encompassing the expanded project should be issued. That modified permit, released as a draft prior to the conference, was marked as Exhibit No. 9 and is attached to this hearing report as Appendix "A".
The Applicant offered no objections to the permit, although it requested clarification of special condition No. 6. DEC Staff substituted new language for that condition (attached as Appendix "B" to this report) which was then refined further in a discussion I had with the parties.
Agricultural Impact Mitigation Plan
In its Positive Declaration, DEC Staff noted that the loss of 65 acres of agricultural land within a state agricultural district was one of the project's significant environmental impacts. To address this impact, the Applicant has agreed to a mitigation plan which provides that "for every acre of prime farm land permanently removed from potential agricultural use, an acre of land at an off-site location associated with an active farming operation, must be benefitted or improved within the same permit term or within one year of said removal, whichever is longer." [See Appendix "B".]
At the issues conference the parties agreed to amend this condition so that the issued permit confirms that the mitigation, to be completed on an acre-for-acre basis, is for the loss of 40 acres of prime farmland. Also, they agreed that "active farming operation" would be defined in the condition to include "the use or conversion of present equivalent land to produce agricultural crops for economic benefit as may be demanded or desired for at least two of the five years following completion of mitigation."
Finally, they confirmed that the Applicant could meet the condition's requirements through a single project performed at one time on one parcel of land.
On-Site Material Transport
The Applicant's mining plan indicates that material from the expansion area will be moved by vehicle along an abandoned railroad grade to the on-site processing plant. However, at the legislative hearing, the Applicant's environmental consultant, William E. Hopkins of Headwaters Environmental Services, indicated a change by which conveyors, rather than trucks, would move the material on-site.
At the issues conference, the Applicant confirmed that conveyors were a possible future method of moving materials on-site to the processing plant. The parties agreed that a conveyor system might allay neighbors' concerns about noise and dust associated with the existing operation. The use of conveyors, however, will require amendment of the mining plan and the prior approval of DEC Staff.
Reclamation Bond
DEC Staff's hearing referral said that the Applicant met all relevant permitting criteria for the mine expansion except with regard to the reclamation bond required pursuant to 6 NYCRR Part 423, which Staff said would have to be adjusted prior to permit issuance. At the issues conference Staff confirmed that the adjustment would be based upon consideration of the amount of new acreage that would be affected by the mine expansion as well as the amount of acreage at the existing site that has been reclaimed to date. Before the bond is adjusted, the Applicant will provide Staff with an update confirming the extent of mining since the bond was last adjusted.
Responsiveness Summary
To complete the final EIS for this project, DEC must respond to all substantive comments on the draft EIS. [6 NYCRR 617.9(b)(8).] The Applicant shall prepare a "responsiveness summary" addressing all comments received in response to the Notice of Complete Application and Availability of the Draft DEIS, and also in response to the Notice of Public Hearing. This shall include written comments submitted to the Office of Hearings and Mediation Services, copies of which I have furnished to the Applicant, and oral statements made at the legislative hearing. DEC Staff shall receive and review the Applicant's draft for adequacy and accuracy and direct necessary changes before it adopts the summary as its own.
Order of Disposition
There are no disputes between the Applicant and Department Staff over any substantial term or condition of the draft permit prepared by Staff as amended at the issues conference. Also, there were no filings for party status and therefore no other potential issues to adjudicate.
Therefore, consistent with 6 NYCRR 624.4(c)(5), the hearing is canceled and Staff shall continue processing the application to issue the requested permit. As Staff explained, the new permit shall supersede the existing permit and encompass both the existing operation and the mine expansion.

Tabloid drama makes ICC dance to its tunes
September 22, 2010 1 Comment
LAHORE – Pakistan team's eventful tour of England will remain chiselled in the memories of national team players for the rest of their lives.
Cheaters if they win, fixers if they lose, they are now wondering what to do?
Amid all the tabloid drama that has made the ICC dance to its tunes, cricket is the ultimate loser. Though the Pakistan cricket is fast moving towards isolation, the game internationally is too dwindling into darkness. The ICC's anti-corruption unit is only making itself a subject of ridicule by launching inquiries after every tabloid report.
They have suspended the three Pakistan players who are yet to be found guilty. But on the other hand, they have remained unmoved on reports of fixing in the IPL matches and the players alleged for involvement were not even called for questioning. It seems their focus is only the Pakistan team.
Instead of waiting for results of the inquiries already under progress, the ICC started yet another investigation on tabloid report without even taking the PCB and the ECB in to confidence.
The strained meeting of the PCB chief and ICC Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat recently has also strained the relations between the PCB and the ECB with Ijaz Butt calling for investigation of a losing England team.
The British media declared that the South African players did not want to play against Pakistan in UAE, but the South African board clearly denied.
Just with one statement of the PCB chief, the ECB and its players have now reacted severely – one wonders Pakistan players have been facing this for quite sometime now. And even the on field umpires during the fourth ODI between the two sides acted quite differently leaving the Pakistan team high and dry on some confident appeals, which were declared even by expert commentators as umpiring errors.
Maybe those who control the game in the ICC have now decided to isolate Pakistan once for all. When Sri Lankan team was attacked, it seemed they had succeeded somewhat but Pakistan gave them a befitting reply by winning the ICC World T20 title.
But ever since the PCB alienated the powers that be by voting against John Howard's nominations in the ICC, it was only a matter of time that Pakistan was taught a lesson. The News of the World is part of the group that controls a large part of Australian media which was also supportive of John Howard in his election campaigns.
This group, known for its bias towards Muslims in general and Pakistan in particular, is very influential in the USA and the UK. It is also worth a mention that former Australian Prime Minister John Howard was a close friend of US President George W Bush. Read more of this post

20 July 2015 0 comments Web development, AngularJS, JavaScript
Last year I put together a little experiment called AJAX or Not? and blogged about it here. The basic idea was to display 1,000 rows in a table. There are several ways of doing it but I decided to compare the following three patterns:
It was clear as day that the server-side rendering version was hands down the fastest. And the AngularJS rendering the slowest.
Note! AngularJS is amazing and super flexible and powerful because you don't really need to worry about how to re-render once the data changes. This this really useful when you do things like loading more data from a remote endpoint or doing some in-page filtering.
The point of AJAX or Not was not to compare Javascript frameworks but I had some time and I thought I'd write an equivalent version of the AngularJS one with ReactJS (version 0.13.3).
Anyway, here's the code and it's using the GitHub fetch polyfill to do the AJAX query. The AngularJS code is here and here and as you can see it's using
track by on the
To measure the difference I ran a comparison in WebPageTest which I encourage you open and study for a bit. You can watch the video and download the video here.
Also, note that the Django rendered version loads jQuery. That's because the functionality dictates that clicking on a link should show a confirmation box before going to the link. I know, it's silly but it's very realistic that every page needs some Javascript functionality.

I started out taking astronomical images back in the mid 1990's using CCD imaging. This was when CCD cameras were very expensive and not very practical for the amateur astronomers. I found a book about making your own CCD camera, The Cookbook Camera by Richard Berry. I built several of these camera CB-245 and modified the cooling system. The cookbook CCD resolution was 378×242 pixels (my current camera has 3097×2080).
By the mid 2000's they became obsolete. I then purchased a Meade DSI pro camera and continued imaging.
Fast forward to the present, I got back into the hobby and found that the prices have come down quite a bit. I purchased a ZWO asi 178MMC camera which is cooled and the price point was which I could afford. I've been re-learning and purchasing new equipment.
I have finally got a number of "good" images that is a vast improvement from my old Cookbook days and Meade DSI Pro cameras. It's been some learning curves with the equipment and software. I will be writing some useful articles about using Linux with Indi Library Drivers and my setup. I will cover the lessons that I have learned during this process.

The Toca Life Series Is the Absolute Best Set of Kids AppsPosted by Nicole Tanner | Feature, Mobile, Opinion | No Comments
Read the headline. There I said it. I rarely call anything the "absolute best." Even less so in a world that's populated by thousands of choices. But the Toca Life series of apps are the best. Though they're not overtly educational, they give kids the largest amount of creativity and freedom to create their own worlds and characters. The sheer options in these games are enormous and they're made by a dedicated team who loves to see kids play. Read More

Scammer ALERT! BEWARE! Updated 08/03/2012
Here is the information that has been dug up on the one scammer that will contact you on Yardsellr to get you to add her on Facebook and states she cannot send you a message. When you add her, she tells you that she has stuff for sell and that she don't like listing things herself and will sell it to you for half the cost. There are things she has made, Scentsy items, Pink Zebra items and more. She does have a site with Pink Zebra (hopefully not for long) and she tries to get you to pay through a service called Serve.com. She will tell you that she don't like using paypal and to sign up for Serve and they give you a $10 enrollment bonus, which you never get! She took me for $70 and said she would not refund it and couldn't sell it to no one else. Said that there was still $120 left to be paid on it. Gave a tracking number that was bogus! Told her to sell it to someone else and she said no one else wanted to buy it because she already told them that I wanted it. Said she could not refund my money due to the fact it was my fault.
Here is the information dug up on her so far:
Name on Facebook: Jackie Scarbrough
Real name through Serve: Rhonda Scarbrough
Emails that I've found that she does use: email@example.com (also her Serve.com email), email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Her facebook (one of them) is: http://www.facebook.com/jackie.scarbrough
Her phone number (and she does call you if you enter the information on her site): 1(812)457-3298
Her "Pink Zebra" link is: http://www.pinkzebrahome.com/girlygirlsprinkles
Here are a few other links associated with her:
- This is one she uses on Yardsellr (and it shows what she is buying and doing with our money) http://yardsellr.com/yardsale/Jackie-Scarbrough-304274/loved
- High School is Henderson County High (assuming that she likes things with Chicago, I'd say that she is from there).
UPDATE: Looks like she's set up a new Facebook account to lure others again!
Her new Yardsellr account link:
I've reported here to Ripoffreport.com and BustedScammers.com. If she were not guilty, why on Earth would anyone set up a new Facebook account? Looks like Another Mabel White / Deborah Dolen with multiple names and pages and all. Just another version of her but hopefully this will bring it all out to those that need to be warned of her activities.
I'm not stalking her, but trying to keep up with her moves to keep everyone updated to keep you from being hurt the way that I had been. Be very CAREFUL!

One of the most iconic images of Africa, the Victoria Falls is best explored on a Zambia or Zimbabwe safari.
No doubt about it, Mosi-oa-Tunya (meaning "The Smoke That Thunders") -- but more commonly known as Victoria Falls -- is one of the most amazing sights in the world.
The Lunar rainbow can be experienced for 3 days during full moon at high water levels at the Victoria Falls. What is a Lunar Rainbow?
The thundering roar can be heard long before the falls can be seen. Victoria Falls is truly one of the most magnificent wonders of the world and a site not to be missed!

CARMEL, Ind. – Halloween costumes, scary decorations and trick-or-treaters can be a lot of fun, but for some seniors out there, it can also be a little intimidating.
That's why the in-home care company Visiting Angels is offering "Halloween Helpers," someone who can assist with all that company at the front door. The helpers can shop for candy ahead of time, answer the door during trick-our-treating hours or just give a sense of security, showing possible troublemakers that the senior is not alone at home.
"It can be a little scary for our seniors, a third of all seniors live alone and most of them are women," said Dr. Michelle Bell, owner of the Visiting Angels facility in Carmel.
"It's definitely comforting to have another person there, if there's a lot of kids coming up to the door, that can be intimidating or if they're trying to manage 15 little ones, so it's really nice to have someone there to provide an extra set of hands and help them keep them calm when there's all that commotion going on," said Visiting Angels caregiver Katie Mellott.
To find a Halloween Helper, click here.
Visiting Angels has some safety tips for seniors:
- Never let trick-or-treaters inside your home to use the bathroom or phone
- Turn-on both outside and inside lights during trick-or-treating hours, even if no one is home since a dark home could attract vandals
- Posting a sign on the door that says "sorry, no more candy" if you don't have anything

Congress Critters are doing it again! When 9-11 traumatized the American psyche, we were given an Official Conspiracy Theory to "-splain" it to us. Something about Arabs and a spooky guy named Osama-. But he's not even on the FBI Most Wanted List for 9-11. Our Decider told us a few years back that he was no longer interested in finding Osama. Besides, ole Osama kicked the bucket in December 2001 according to an Egyptian news report.
To obtain some sense of security, many Americans welcomed the USA PATRIOT Act. We let the Congress Critters eviscerate what America was all about--our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Gutted and hung! Our Congress Critters got flimflammed into believing that Iraq had Weapons of MASS Destruction that could blow up in our faces at any moment! We were told that our "sources"- knew the address and zip code. They've given up looking but over a million Iraqis have died along with over 4,000 American men and women. Our lifeblood was drained to pay for a War against Terror!
In the past few weeks we've been hearing that the poor ole banks are falling on hard times. They seemed to have been doing pretty well. They had been getting poor folk to sign up for special mortgages when they didn't qualify for the usual kind. Five years ago I was warning about the predatory lending practices of the mortgage brokers and the banks, and I was showing people how to use the consumer protection statutes. There was an average of about 20 violations of the Truth in Lending Act in every mortgage that we analyzed The Feds didn't like that information made available on the Internet so the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency alleged that my website was perpetrating a mortgage elimination scam. Eliot Spitzer wrote in the Washington Post that the 50 state governors and attorneys general were trying to stop predatory lending, too, but the Feds forced them to stop. They never tried to get me to stop, but a lot of people probably thought the government was right. Intimidation by the Feds worked again.
Back in 1999 Congress Critters voted 450-64 to remove the Glass-Steagall prohibition against banks speculating in high risk securities. Clinton was all for it, too. So the banks took these rip-off mortgages, called them "subprime,"- bundled them together and sold them on the "derivatives market."- And then kept selling them, rebundling them, selling them around the world, making a profit at every turn. Until only a few weeks ago, we were being told that we were not in a depression or even a recession. Then some of those funny mortgages started to fail and things started to get very interesting. Suddenly the leaders started talking nervously about a bailout or the sky might fall. Those bankers are demanding socialized medicine for their sick institutions. They spent a lot of money to get the legislation passed so they could play in this sand box and when they've run out of sand they want mommy and daddy to fill it for them again.
There's more to this "financial emergency"- than subprime mortgages and escalating risk in the derivatives market. The watchdogs of these big brats have been very lenient and indulgent over the years. Naked short selling played a big part in the cause of the last Great Depression. Naked short selling is a bet that the stock will diminish in value, but unlike short selling the naked short seller doesn't deliver the stock that was promised when the short sale was transacted. It's an incomplete transaction, a breach of contract. The result is a "phantom stock"- not too different from counterfeit money and with much the same result. According to some investigators it could cost over one trillion dollars to clean up the phantom stocks that are in the system.
Even though the SEC has admitted that phantom stock can collapse the financial system, it has not moved to stop the sale of phantom stock and naked short selling. They have only placed affected stocks on a list so that investors can see who is being "victimized," -and the stock falls faster and farther. A large portion of the stock in these 300 companies is bogus. It might show up on a computer that you own it, but you really don't. On September 17, the SEC declared that it was serious about enforcing its regulations, but they have been warned and informed about the practice for years and no investigations were pursued.
More than $1.5 quadrillion in stock trades is processed every year through the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC), headquartered in New York City. A very difficult organization to investigate, the DTCC is owned by its users and it's not transparent to the SEC. Every short sale is processed through it and therefore the DTCC would know which brokers have hedging clients selling stock but not delivering. The government knows where the counterfeiters work but never bothers to stop them.
You probably have not heard much of naked short selling or phantom stocks because influential people in the media have been pooh-poohing the complaints of CEOs and investors alike. The money gurus are part of the problem. It's a very sophisticated sting. First the target company gets glowing publicity from one or more money gurus in the media. A corrupt law firm tells its clients to purchase some of the stock so that they can later be named as plaintiffs in a class-action suit against the company. A corrupt hedge fund takes a short position on the stock by borrowing from an investor who holds the stock, then sells the stock and waits for its inevitable fall in price. Fraudulent "research"- that alleges problems within the company is revealed on one or more of the mainstream money shows. For weeks the money gurus allege wrongdoing at the company as the value of the stock drops. The SEC places the company on the list of companies affected by phantom stock, driving the value of the stock still lower. The SEC might even begin an investigation of the company with even greater effect. The shyster lawyer files suit against the company for defrauding his clients and the stock continues to plummet. A stock position opens on foreign exchanges against the wishes of the company because this makes it even easier to flood the market with phantom stock. The short sale is repaid with phantom stock diluting the value of the company's real stock. If the company can be driven out of business, that is the most lucrative outcome for the naked short sale. It's devastating to the investors, employees, related businesses and to the economy as a whole.
So now our Congress Critters are trying to scam you and me by telling us that these shenanigans must be taken upon OUR shoulders. If they don't investigate and prosecute the perpetrators, the criminals will be coming back for more and more.
You best let them know how you feel about that. Right away.

WhatIfTheyWereMuslim?: 5 Anarchists Nabbed in Terrorist Plot to Blow up Ohio Bridge
The above individuals are charged with conspiracy and attempted use of explosive materials. Imagine if they were "brown" or "Muslamic" looking, this would be called a terrorist plot from the get go. (via. WhatIfTheyWereMuslim)
This piece was reported not as a "terrorist" plot but rather simply a "bomb plot":
Federal agents have arrested five people who were plotting to blow up a bridge near Cleveland, Ohio, an incident not connected to the anniversary of former al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden's death, officials say.
Douglas L. Wright, 26, Brandon L. Baxter, 20, and Anthony Hayne, 35, were arrested by members of the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force on April 30 on charges of conspiracy and attempted use of explosive materials to damage physical property affecting interstate commerce. Also arrested were Connor C. Stevens, 20, and Joshua S. Stafford, 23. Charges are pending against them.
The five were "controlled by an undercover FBI employee," and agents had them under extensive surveillance for a long period of time. The explosives they allegedly purchased were inoperable.

"There was never any danger," one federal official said.
Court documents say the FBI became aware of the men in October. A confidential source told the FBI that they were acting suspiciously at a protest event, wearing masks, talking on radios, and saying they didn't believe in peaceful protest. They carried flags associated with anarchist groups.
From that point on, the informant was in constant touch with the group members. Their goal, one of them said, was to destroy private property "to send a message to corporations." Last November, they discussed setting off smoke grenades on Veterans Memorial Bridge in Cleveland as a diversion while they would be knocking bank signs off the tops of tall buildings downtown.
Federal officials say Wright, Baxter and Hayne describe themselves as anarchists who considered a series of evolving plots over several months.
As Stevens and Stafford came into the plot, they started talking about using explosives.
The informant brought in two people he said could help them get explosives. These people were actually FBI undercover agents. The group members agreed to buy tear gas and gas masks. Two weeks later, they said they wanted to buy plastic explosives.

In late April, they settled on trying to blow up the Route 82 Brecksville-Northfield High Level Bridge. This bridge crosses from Brecksville, Ohio to Sagamore Hills, Ohio over the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
On April 29, they met with the undercover agents and bought what they thought were two homemade bombs for $450. They planned to place them on April 30 but were arrested by the FBI.
The members of this group had a strong desire to commit acts of violence but no idea how to do it. At one point, a member of the group says what they needed was "mainly bleach," because, he said, that's what land mines and hand grenades were made with during World War II.
"The complaint in this case alleges that the defendants took specific and defined actions to further a terrorist plot," said U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio Steven Dettelbach. "The defendants stand charged based not upon any words or beliefs they might espouse, but based upon their own plans and actions."

Abdominal Fat
The greatest disease burden today may be attributed to high blood pressure, a disease of overnutrition. The pandemic of chronic disease has been ascribed in part to the near-universal shift toward a diet dominated by animal-sourced and processed foods—more soda, meat, sugar, dairy, oils, eggs, and refined grains. China is perhaps the best-studied example. There, a transition away from the country's traditional, plant-based diet was reportedly accompanied by a sharp rise in diet-related chronic diseases, including obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer.
Obesity rates have been escalating to dangerously unhealthy levels. In the United States, for example, the childhood obesity epidemic has gotten so bad that some doctors have advocated for stomach-stapling gastric bypass surgery for kids.
Is all fat equal when it comes to being overweight? It's generally accepted that health risks may be determined as much by the relative distribution of body fat as by its total amount. What seems to be the worst kind? Abdominal fat—the kind that builds up around your internal organs. Having a potbelly, with body fat concentrated in the abdominal region, may be a strong predictor of premature death.
Abdominal girth appears directly related to meat consumption: one-third of a centimeter increase in waist circumference for every ten grams of meat consumed. That means for every daily burger, we may be adding an inch onto our waist and loosening our belt one notch. It's not just about cutting back on meat, dairy, and eggs, though. The diets of hundreds of identical twins were analyzed in a study. The subjects had the same exact genes, but those eating more plant-based diets appeared to have more favorable levels of a hormone secreted by human fat cells that helps control weight.
Does vinegar play a role in obesity? In a research study, obese subjects consumed drinks daily with either one or two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, or a placebo drink that tasted like vinegar but contained no acetic acid. Both vinegar groups lost significantly more weight than the control group. Though the effect was modest—about four pounds over a three-month period—the vinegar groups' subjects lost about 5 percent of their "visceral" fat, the abdominal fat that is particularly associated with chronic disease risk.

There is a growing demand for certified weed free forage and mulch as a preventative program to reduce the spread of noxious weeds. Certified weed free forage is required in many states and on federal lands and there are State and Federal agencies that require certified weed free mulch for highway and right-of-way projects and for restoration on seeded areas following fires.
Certified weed free forage program provides an opportunity for Oklahoma producers to market certified hay and mulch as value-added products; provides forage and mulch buyers a marketable and transportable product; will reduce the introduction and spread of noxious weeds onto public and private lands; increases producer awareness of their role in weed management; and provides increased weed management and reduction of weed infestations.
ODAFF has developed a certification process for forage and mulch products. Hay and grain fields can be inspected and once a field has passed inspection, bales from the field can be labeled as "certified weed-free" and will be issued a transit certificate.

Driving to the supermarket last week I had the overwhelming feeling that this baby is very much an addition to our family.
To Ian and I's family.
Although in no way is the baby a replacement for Ian, as the pregnancy progresses it feels like Ian is less distant now. There is a feeling of completeness, not end, not 'over it', but very much at peace.
The sense of 'our' baby, 'our' family, 'our' boys is very, very strong.
Talking to people after Ian died, when I found myself using 'my' son when talking about John or his needs I heard 'Just me. No one else. I'm on my own' every time I used the word 'my'. Whomever I was talking to probably heard the usual every day use - I'm not with an adult who'd be assumed to be Dad, so 'my' is grammatically correct - if Dad was with us at the time, she'd have probably used 'our'.
But that's not what I heard in my head. In my head, the fact Ian wasn't here was ringing with clanging bells -whether the listener knew Ian had died or not.
My/Our son is sick.
My/Our son lost an argument with the coffee table and has split his head open.
We/I would like to send Our/My son to this school.
I don't know if it's the posthumous circumstances of the pregnancy, but I'm finding with respect to the baby, I'm using 'our' more where 'my' may be equally as logical.
And the bells aren't clanging or even ringing quietly.
