Welcome to the history pages of the St Nicholas
website. On an on-going basis we will add content to illustrate, and
provide information of the life of the church, and it's congregation
since St Nicholas was dedicated on Friday 20th November 1908.
Building the Church
Stained Glass Windows
We Will Remember Them
Like many other congregations throughout the United Kingdom, the
St Nicholas congregation suffered losses
of those serving in the armed services
who made the ultimate sacrifice
during the First and Second World Wars
From A Spark To A Flame
1st June 2011 was a significant day for us. It was then that we were
able to collect the final copies of From a Spark to a Flame from the
printer, thus bringing to an end our inspiring but truly humbling
journey through one hundred years of St Nicholas Parish Church. The
book is an expression of our deep gratitude to God, and is dedicated
to those who, in the beginning, ignited the flame, and also to those
who, during these hundred years, have kept it burning.
Many people, from the congregation and beyond, have contacted us in
a variety of ways to convey their thoughts on our publication. We
wish to express our sincere thanks for these messages, and want all
to know how much we appreciate them.
Pam Ellis and John Hope

Last Saturday morning, the shop of Ivan Hall, a crippled watch repairman who has run his own business at 807 11th Street NW for 30 years, was looted by four men. Hall says all but one watch was taken and his uninsured losses exceed $4000.
Garfield Smith, a 53-year-old truck driver, says he waw the looting occur. Smith and a night work crew are resurfacing the intersection of 11th and H Streets NW, about 50 yards from Hall's shop.
"I was sitting up in the truck and one of the boys came over and said something funny was going on," said Smith. "I got down from the truck and I saw these four guys fooling around in front of Hall's store. I wasn't real sure what was going on 'til one of them came down to the corner and the other ones looked like they went in the corner building."
Smith says the lookout man was standing just across the street from where the crew of five was working.
"That guy, a young man about 20, he looked at us and he looked up and down H street. I think he may have had a gun. I didn't look at him 'cuz I didn't want him to know I see his face," said Smith.
Smith says he waited another minute before deciding what to do. "Up the street aways there were people from the bus station. They were watching and doing nothing. If I had seen the door kicked in, I would have called the cops right away but I just wasn't sure what was going on," he said.
Finally, the lookout man turned his back on the crew and Smith "eased on out down the street. I didn't go to the pay phone 'cuz I didn't want them (the four men) to think I was calling the cops. I just walked real careful down to 10th Street and beat on the door of the Ebbitt Hotel. They let me in and I called the cops," said Smith.
Smith says he left the hotel in time to see the four men joined by two women running across the parking lot behind Hall's store. The police arrived several minutes later.
"If only the cops had gotten here faster," said Smith shaking his head and looking down at his heavy boots.
"If only I'd put bars on the door," said Ivan Hall several days after the burglary. Hall, who repairs both clocks and watches from a semireclined position in his wood and cane wheelchair, obtained a dog after losing everything in the 1968 riots. The German shepherd, named King, is constantly at his side. Hall's son secured the door with 2-by-4s on the afternoon after the break-in.
"You know I must have the worst luck in the world," said Hall. "I have this arthritis, this summer I had a heart attack, then the city tells me I have to move and now this," he said as he waved his hand toward the broken display cases.
Smith, who noted that he recently brought a watch to Hall for repair, said the burglary disturbed him.
"You know, that shouldn't have happened to that gentleman. It should have been someone else. He works so hard at his business and then those kids do that to him," he said.
Smith, a deacon in the Holy Trinity Fire Baptist Church in Seat Pleasant, Md., said the he explained to the congregation what had happened to Hall, and last Sunday they offered up a special prayer for the watch repairman.
"We've asked Jesus to bless him and to keep him and to help him to survive," Smith said, adding that the congregation will pray again for Hall this Sunday.
For his part, Hall will decide soon if he will be able to stay in business.
"All my customers tell me to hang in there, but my family's afraid for me now," he said.

The timing of British medical journal Lancet’s issue on Pakistan’s health sector could not have been better. With governance in Pakistan having recently changed hands, the four research papers in the issue titled ‘Health Transitions in Pakistan,’ undertake an analysis of the country’s health performance over the years and offer recommendations for the future.
The study, which was carried out keeping the 18th Constitutional Amendment in mind, especially points to the challenges and opportunities in the areas of reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health, and the increased burden of lifestyle or non-communicable diseases. The study makes a strong case for future health reforms by calling for universal healthcare with a focus on equity.
The research was headed by Dr Sania Nishtar, president of Heartfile, a think-tank for health policy in the country, and Dr Zulfikar A. Bhutta, director of the Centre of Excellence in Women and Child Health at the Aga Khan University in Karachi.
At the federal level, the study recommends increased investments in the health sector to at least five per cent of the GDP by 2025. At the moment, the investment stands at an abysmal 0.9 per cent. To make health a political priority and hold governments accountable, experts have suggested calling for an all-parties conference on health that seeks commitment for an “agreed set of actions”.
The recommendations made in these papers include increasing excise duty on cigarettes and using that revenue towards the prevention of non-communicable diseases and introducing nutrition as well as maternal, newborn and child health in the national income support programme.
The researchers also call for a national health policy that conforms to the 18th Constitutional Amendment and the establishment of a health division under the ministry of inter-provincial coordination.
What many do not know is that the burden of non-communicable diseases and injuries is quite high in Pakistan. Non-communicable diseases include diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. According to one of the papers, Pakistan is among the top seven countries with the largest number of diabetic people. Drawing attention to the huge economic toll of these diseases — approximately 232 million euros — the findings suggest not only further research into the ailments but also that they be made a national priority with policy, legislation and programmes developed accordingly. These should promote healthy diet and physical activity to achieve a 20 per cent reduction in premature deaths of individuals between the ages of 30 and 69.
But why should a British journal be interested in Pakistan’s health system?
With universal healthcare gaining traction, countries are trying to figure out how best to use limited resources and capacity to implement it. Therefore, there is an emphasis on putting health at the centre of nation-building and social welfare agendas.
Lancet’s editor, Richard Horton, lists a number of reasons why Pakistan’s health system received this attention. He terms Pakistan a “research productive nation” where public health practitioners have delivered important innovations through programmes such as community-based Lady Health Workers; health experts have made a “demonstrable difference,” both in Pakistan and internationally, in identifying the threat of non-communicable diseases in Asia; they have signalled the dangers of abolishing Pakistan’s health ministry; raised alarm about substandard medicines, and lastly, mobilised the Muslim world to end polio.
“The introduction of a new cadre of community health workers has had an especially important part to play in reducing stillbirths and newborn mortality, evidence that has had global reach,” Horton writes.
But a big question is whether the study has been noticed by those who can make a difference in the system. While it is too early to say if it has had an impact, Dr Bhutta is “very optimistic” that the new government will take note of the recommendations. “We provide a blueprint and a comparison of portfolios. We have done the needful in taking this forward by engaging political parties at various levels,” he says.
Additionally, all mainstream political parties have listed health as a priority in their manifestos. They recommend an increase in budgets, specially the PPP (five per cent of consolidated government spending), while the MQM and the PTI recommend four and 2.6 percent of the GDP, respectively. The PTI also promises a hundred per cent improvement in the existing public health sector coverage and the MQM 100 per cent coverage in vaccination and a 50 per cent reduction in maternal and infant mortality rates. The PPP aims to reduce population growth from two per cent to 1.6 per cent and to eradicate polio by 2015.
But, says Bhutta, “the devil is in the detail and implementation strategies.” He knows that far too often there remains a huge disconnect between policy and implementation. He also hopes that not only would there be greater political ownership of healthcare programmes with the new government but also importantly an end to “policy vacillation” that leads to changes in key programmes.
It is imperative that this volume of evidence be made available to policymakers, practitioners, researchers, the civil society and other stakeholders. For example, by implementation of several primary and secondary packages of care for mother and child — like the antenatal care, child care, post natal care, immunisation and nutrition — by year 2015 almost 58 per cent of maternal and child deaths, that are estimated to be about 367,900, can be averted, and 49 per cent of an estimated 180,000 stillbirths can be prevented.
Doctor and demographer Farid Midhet was particularly disappointed to read about the lack of progress in mother and child health, despite several large-scale intervention programmes over the last decade. “I believe there is a need to sit down and analyse why things are not working in this particular area,” says Midhet.
Such an in-depth analysis, he says, would require looking into trends in new national demographic and health studies. “It would also help set guidelines for the government to steer the efforts of donors in this field, such as USAID, which is funding six components of the maternal, newborn and child health programme on an extremely large scale,” he adds.
According to Bhutta, improvements don’t always require huge investments but just the need to ensure that the existing public sector programmes are implemented.

Lycopersicon Phobia – the fear of tomatoes. While we couldn’t find any hard statistics, chances are that someone you know (if not you!) is afraid of tomatoes. In fact, for over two centuries beginning in the 1700s, the entire European continent had a fear of tomatoes. In fact, the tomato was even nicknamed the “poison apple.” Why?
Countless aristocrats got sick and died after eating tomatoes during this time, creating widespread fear that tomatoes were a deadly fruit. The reality though, was that these wealthy Europeans used pewter plates to eat their meals. High in lead content, the acidity from tomatoes would leach lead from the tableware, thereby poisoning those who ate them.
Of course, whenever we think of tomatoes in our drinks, the first beverage that pops to mind is the Bloody Mary. Whether you have a fear of too many tomatoes or simply want to try something new, there are fortunately many ways to add unique flavor to your beverage. With fall right around the corner, there is perhaps no better drink to modify and enjoy than the Blood Orange Bloody Mary.
As blood oranges come into season in the winter, now is the perfect time to begin enjoying these beautiful fruits and add unique flavor to your palate. Unlike typical oranges, blood oranges boast a subtler citrus flavor that doesn’t overpower the other ingredients.
If you’re having doubts over a fruity Bloody Mary, you’re not the first. But trust us, this combination works incredibly well.
Blood Orange Bloody Mary
- 4 cups tomato juice
- 1 cup vodka
- ¾ cup Amoretti Premium Blood Orange Syrup
- 1 tablespoon horseradish
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- Salt and Pepper
- 1 blood orange
To make this delicious recipe using premium blood orange syrup, carefully add all ingredients into a large pitcher. Whisk together until all flavors are thoroughly infused together. Season with salt and pepper to taste and pour into six glasses filled with ice. Cut the blood orange into beautiful wedges and use as garnish.
With premium blood orange syrup from Amoretti, you’ll be amazed at how this subtle citrus flavor actually enhances the already-delicious Bloody Mary. When you add unique flavor with blood orange syrup, the warmth of blood orange dilutes the tanginess of tomato.
Are you a blood orange syrup fan? Let us know on the official Amoretti Facebook Page if you decide to try the recipe!

Churg-Strauss Syndrome in an elderly man.
Saravanan THANGAVELU and Dhanya RAMACHANDRAN.
Department of Medicine, PSG Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India.
Churg-Strauss Syndrome (CSS) is an uncommon systemic vasculitis affecting the medium and small sized arteries. CSS was earlier considered fatal, but prognosis has significantly improved with the use of steroids and other immunosuppressive therapy. CSS has been reported in patients as young as seven years old to as old as 74 but generally occurs in the third to fifth decade of life. Here we describe an 86-year-old Indian man who was affected by this disease with clinical presentations as described in younger individuals and excellent response to therapy. To our best knowledge, presentation at so late an age has not been documented in the literature.

So yesterday my sister-in-law was whipping together a quick dress and I took over her sash so I could show off this fabulous tool – – and since she was there to take video, it was perfect – – it’s only a 30 second clip, enjoy (sorry about the occassional big-crazyeyes – for some reason I get that way on camera!) oh, if the video loads slow then just hit pause, let the red line load all the way across then hit play
Quick Turn Tool
A few weeks ago I had a sewing party at my house. I was trying to help speed things along, so I sat and turned a sash right-side out for someone while they hemmed, etc. It seriously took me 30 minutes. Turning tubes right-side out is such a hassle. But then another friend at the party gets to a point where she needs a sash turned and she says “hey, I think I have a thing-a-ma-bob that will do that” – she grabs this unopened package, busts into it, and turns her sash in 30 seconds – what?! Where was that 30 minutes prior – or actually, where has that thing been my WHOLE life?? Unbelievably easy. And guess what – in all the gathering of stuff after a sewing party, she forgot her “Quick Turns”. And I’m not sure she even knows they’re missing…mwahahah….thanks for unknowingly handing over a hosting gift Micah! (Oh all right, I’ll give them back – but in the meantime I’m putting them to use!)
Did you see that – amazing, right? This is on my to-buy list next time I’m at the fabric store. It comes with 3 sizes, and that tiny one looks like it can do spaghetti straps (which I usually avoid because they’re normally hard to turn). Are there any sewing gadgets that you can’t live without? Enlighten me!
Opinions are my own – Quick Turns has no idea I’m writing this post
Thanks for checking out this post from www.SugarBeeCrafts.com – – click on over to read it in its entirety – you’ll love it!
elizabeth @ twelvecrafts says
That is AMAZING! My sewing life has just been transformed. I’m not sure if you consider this a sewing gadget, but because I’m really bad at sewing . . . really bad, I couldn’t live without fabric glue! It has come through for me when my hem hasn’t been sewn all the way or I left the edges to short when I turned the project right sides out. So this is my shout out to fabric glue!
Oh my goodness! That is amazing! I seriously think I am getting one of those for my husband for Fathers’ Day…I always enlist his help turning skinny little tubes ’cause I’m not patient enough to do it. Must get this…
Melinda H. says
The words that came out of my mouth: “That’s amazing!!”, and then I saw that all of you have said the same thing! LOL!!!!!! I am so totally buying one of those.
Hi Mandy! I can’t sew worth anything, so tools like that are definitely made for people like me!! Thanks for sharing!
Amy J says
What a great blog Mandy! So much crafty goodness…great, because of you, my craft list just got alot longer! 🙂
Oh wow what a fantabulous idea!! Thanks for sharing!
You couldn’t have posted this at a more perfect time. I’m getting ready to sew an easy maternity dress that has thin straps and a tie around back. The dress itself will be super quick to sew, but I was dreading the turning of those straps. I knew it would take forever and the “quick” dress wouldn’t be so quick thanks to the straps. I’m heading out to get that tool ASAP. Thanks a million for posting about that fab tool!!!
Oh wow..how cool! Thanks for sharing and linking at PonyTails&FishScales!
Craft Envy says
Ok, someday, when I become an awesome seamstress, I’m going to remember this post! 🙂 Thanks for linking up!
Vanessa @ Craft Envy
love the tool, but mostly, love the crazy-big-eyes! my computer is a bit slow and stalled a few times on the big-eyes. funny! : ) thanks for the fun and the great idea.
That is awesome!!! I have to have that. I occasionally make Bit of Whimsy dolls and the arms usually take me forever to turn. That would be so handy!
OMG. Awesome. Thanks so much! Also, we have that toy that was playing in the background. I can’t place what it is for the life of me but I’m oh so familiar with the song. 🙂

It’s amazing to see how quickly the body recovers from a day’s rest and a good meal. For dinner last night we had Ravioli again, this time with amazing spinach, mushroom, and cream sauce. Had to order seconds. On the way out we complimented the chef who turned out to be the owner. Turns out he is from Punjab running an Italian restaurant making this amazing Ravioli.
This morning as we were leaving it was sprinkling. For just a moment we debated calling it a day and taking a bus. Fortunately it was a fleeting thought, because it was a perfect day with varieties of everything, but most especially, of the views. We put on our rain jacket and backpack cover and moved on. The sprinkle did not last long, but it gave us an opportunity to use what we have been carrying for a month!
Our half way point was this gorgeous waterfall (that is what they say since it was not on today!) (Have you ever heard of such a thing?)
Turns out, during the Roman times, they diverted the water away from the Reiti valley over the mountain toward Terni. Over time, they came to a compromise as Terni was flooding. Now they turn the waterfall on only on weekends, so we missed our chance to see it!
The picture above shows where it gushes out when it’s turned on.
We started going down from the dam towards the picturesque town of Piediluco.
We had our lunch looking at our destination for today, about 4 km away.
We are now settled in this beautiful lake town of Piediluco.
We head toward these mountains tomorrow. This is the view from our balcony.
Since I borrowed the title of Dr. Seuss today, I will leave you with a portion of his beautiful views delightful book!
Oh, the Places You’ll Go!
Today is your day.
You’re off to Great Places!
You’re off and away!
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You’re on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go.
You’ll look up and down streets. Look ’em over with care.
About some you will say, “I don’t choose to go there.”
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet,
you’re too smart to go down any not-so-good street.
And you may not find any
you’ll want to go down.
In that case, of course,
you’ll head straight out of town.
It’s opener there
in the wide open air.
Out there things can happen
and frequently do
to people as brainy
and footsy as you.
And then things start to happen,
don’t worry. Don’t stew.
Just go right along.
You’ll start happening too.
THE PLACES YOU’LL GO!
You’ll be on y our way up!
You’ll be seeing great sights!
You’ll join the high fliers
who soar to high heights.
You won’t lag behind, because you’ll have the speed.
You’ll pass the whole gang and you’ll soon take the lead.
Wherever you fly, you’ll be best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.
Except when you don’t.
Because, sometimes, you won’t.
I’m sorry to say so
but, sadly, it’s true
can happen to you.
You can get all hung up
in a prickle-ly perch.
And your gang will fly on.
You’ll be left in a Lurch.
You’ll come down from the Lurch
with an unpleasant bump.
And the chances are, then,
that you’ll be in a Slump.
And when you’re in a Slump,
you’re not in for much fun.
is not easily done.
You will come to a place where the streets are not marked.
Some windows are lighted. But mostly they’re darked.
A place you could sprain both your elbow and chin!
Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in?
How much can you lose? How much can you win?
And IF you go in, should you turn left or right…
or right-and-three-quarters? Or, maybe, not quite?
Or go around back and sneak in from behind?
Simple it’s not, I’m afraid you will find,
for a mind-maker-upper to make up his mind…
another beautiful day – it looks like you guys have been lucky so far with the weather this being your first day of rain and I know you have a special day coming up in a few enjoy
Wow! Loved this post so much. A lot of the photos are paintings! Love the one of Patty at lakeside having lunch. Dr. Seuss is perfect! Many good things for your special day, E., and many happy returns! Love, Nani
Rain or shine – you guys keep going. At times, the ups and downs may be rough but you always have a “window seat” to the beautiful world…
A waterfall you can turn on and off – wow! Beautiful pictures!

Those of you who have been with this strip for a while may remember that I originally did this as an “extra” strip. I’ve always wanted to add it to the official continuity; and since Page previously mentioned that the Council was going to meet with the Princess, I figured this was the perfect opportunity.
And on the subject of being with the strip for a while, I have to report with a heavy heart that this will be my final Commander Keen comic. I’ve been doing this strip on-and-off for something like 16 years, and I think now is as good a time as any to bring it to a close.
Before signing off, I want to thank the small but dedicated group of fans that stuck with this comic for all these years — especially the vibrant community over at the PCKF. In an internet full of overwhelmingly negative attitudes, I’ve been blessed with fans who gave me nothing but positivity and encouragement. Creating comics is a lot of fun in itself, but seeing that if affects some else — even if it’s just for a fleeting second — brings a sense of satisfaction and complete-ness to the work. Thank you for giving me that experience.
So this is me, waving goodbye as I fly off in the Beans-with-Bacon Megarocket with my pet yorp while humming “Into The Future”.
Thanks for playing!

Each Friday at Puerto del Carmen Market (10am-2pm) and Sundays at Teguise Market (10am-2pm) all info and merchandise can be obtained from Ian at the Clubs Stall
3rd May 2010
It’s all over. After nine consecutive seasons in Spain’s third flight of football Unión Deportiva Lanzarote has been relegated and will be playing football next season against fellow Canarian teams.
Gutted, one of Lanzarote´s great players , club captain and scorer of the goal against the mighty Real Madrid, Oscar VladimirEleven seasons ago the Rojillos made their debut in Segunda B (league 1) but were relegated the same season. The following year they returned as Tercera division (third Division) champions and embarked on an incredible journey both in the Copa del Rey and the league.
In 2003-04 season a young talented extraordinary Lanzarote side won the league but still failed in promotion to Segunda A (championship) because of the Spanish play off system which includes the leagues winners only gaining promotion through a play off.
During those years the Conejeros (locals) enjoyed seeing their island compete and beat some of the Primera Liga´s finest teams. Wins against Tenerife, Mallorca and Athletic Bilbao were some of the highlights of a five year dream as well as narrow losses to Sevilla, Getafe and a late Fernando Torres strike for Atlético Madrid.
The biggest game Lanzarote ever played was in the 2001-02 campaign against Giants of football Real Madrid. After going a goal down from Guti the Rojillos rallied and equalized before the break with current club captain Oscar Vladimir obliging with a dream goal. Zidane and Figo turned on the class in the second period and Madrid ran out 1-3 winners.Real Oviedo´s travelling fansLanzarote will be heading back to the third division with a hat full of memories of success, which has also been their demise. Competing against Spain’s elite has come at great expense and for the past two seasons the existence of U.D. Lanzarote has been in serious threat and was only resolved hours before deadline.
Fittingly it was ex Primera Liga side Real Oviedo that dealt the final blow. After 13 seasons in the Primera Liga the Asturias side fell into a cash freefall and found themselves in the third division. Winning the third division via the play offs last season in front of a thirty thousand crowd was the stepping stone the club needed.
This season they are guaranteed second place with this win against Lanzarote and will be competing for promotion for a second successive season.
Once again the Rojillos seemed to be playing well only for the away side to draw first blood. In the 29th minute striker Mario Prieto blasted in a 25 yard belter that flew past keeper Vilches with the ball nestling into the top left hand corner.
Relegation to the Tercera (third) division had already been assured with last weeks loss so pride was the only matter at stake against the Gran Canarian mid table side.
Lanzarote began the better of the two teams with the first chance falling for Ayoze Pérez who tested the reflexes of the Vecindario keeper, Luis, with a powerful shot which was finger tipped away for a corner.
In the 20th minute the Rojillos took the lead. A superb run down the right wing by Ayoze Pérez who outpaced the Vecindario back four then unselfishly squared the ball for striker Carlitos to pass the ball home from eight yards with the keeper being caught in no mans land. The Rojillos had found themselves in unfamiliar territory by taking the lead in a match.
Only three minutes after going in front ex Rojillo favourite Yeray Ortega nodded his new side back on level turns following a corner. Two minutes on and the Rojillos were 2-1 down. A corner swung in from the left was cleared to Toñito standing on the edge of the box.
The Lanzarote front man carelessly gave the ball away and from 20 yards Yeray López sweetly hit a volley beating the Lanzarote keeper Miguel to the right hand corner of the net.
The Rojillos were now back in familiar territory by trailing a game by two goals. The defensive frailties from Lanzarote were fully exposed in this match just as they have been all season. With 85 goals conceded this term, Lanzarote have the worst defensive record in Spain.
Five minutes before the break and the days scoring was complete. A simple cross into the danger zone was met by an unchallenged Yeray Ortega who headed home his second of the day from six yards. The home side went into the interval with a commanding 3-1 lead.
After an eventful first period the rhythm of the match died with chances for either side being few and far between. Manager Carmelo Hernández gave Englishman Ian Robinson a half hour run out and with a little over 20 minutes remaining Lanzarote junior player Roberto got the nod from his manager to make his first team debut.
As the Ref blew the final whistle Lanzarote´s nine consecutive years in Segunda B came to an end. An exodus of players has already begun with Juachi, Moncho, Rául Torres and Carlitos with their bags packed and many more will be expected to follow.
Opportunity will await the youth of Lanzarote as first team positions will be up for grabs as the Rojillos prepare to build for an immediate return to Segunda B.
All fixtures for next season in the third division will be updated on the website around mid August. For any other information you’re welcome to drop me a line.

The Story Of My Life by Helen Keller instils in us a feeling of hope and love for life. Elucidate
Anyone reading The Story of My Life by Helen Keller comes to understand her struggles and how complicated life is for her but at the same time, the reader is left with a feeling of admiration that, at age twenty two, Helen Keller has already achieved so much. She has been criticized for the poetic language she uses but, in my opinion, this is Helen's way of illustrating her feelings.
As a deaf and blind person, Helen Keller cannot express herself in any other way except through writing and this has only been made possible by Annie Sullivan through whose persistence and dedication Helen learns the meaning of words "and the light of love shone on me in that very hour." (ch 4) Helen's honesty makes her story all the more real as she does not focus only on her achievements but also on her misfortunes and near disasters. Each disaster is resolved and finds a place in her memory with Helen determined to learn from each occurrence and "from life itself."(ch 7)
Helen draws her reader into her story by making him or her understand what it might mean to be blind, deaf or, as in her case, both blind and deaf! At first, Helen is not able to "understand anything unless I touched it" (ch 6) which means the process for her is long and she is in need of "practice, practice, practice."(ch 13) She engages with her reader who can relate to the fact that she can communicate, can learn and can achieve and it appears that, for Helen, although it is challenging, it is just "different" and she does have access to language but in a non-conventional way. "What joy to talk with other children in my own language" (ch 9) reveals her delight when "speaking" to children at The Perkins' Institute for the Blind.
Others are clearly instrumental in Helen's success as "the barren places between my mind and the minds of others blossomed like the rose." (ch 11) One of the reasons she writes The Story of My Life is as a tribute to these many people which in itself is inspiring as, other than her childhood selfishness, she displays an enormous amount of selflessness and looks for ways to help others in everything she does.
Helen Keller's love for life is so evident from the pages that the reader may even feel guilty for every negative thought he or she ever had. If she "overcame them all" (ch 19), in speaking about her entrance exams to Radcliffe, surely the reader can aspire to the greatest heights.

American National Firearms recoil spring for Sig Sauer P250C 9mm. This is a high quality standard strength recoil spring for the guide rod in your Sig Sauer P250C (Compact) 9mm. If your P250C 9mm has the spring that slides on and off the original guide rod, this spring is an exact, drop-in equivalent for your original. If you have the plastic guide rod with ""captured"" spring (the spring does not slide on and off), you can now enhance your gun using this spring and one of our solid stainless steel guide. This recoil spring is for the Sig P250C in 9mm only. It will not fit the P250C chambered in .45, the P250 Sub-Compact or the P250F (Full Size) in any caliber. **Note: There are two types of guide rods found in this model firearm. One is the traditional style where the spring will slide on and off the rod, and the other is the ""captured spring"" type where the spring does not slide off. Sometimes, one end can break off of the plastic ""captured spring"" guide rod, and the rod will look like a traditional rod with a spring that now slides on and off. Please check to see which guide rod you have before purchase of this spring.

Review: The Boddika-helmed Nonplus unveil Think & Change, the label's first compilation and what a way to mark such an event. Calling on a cast of the great and the good of contemporary techno and bass music, Think & Change arrives sporting some thirteen tracks, a statement of how far Nonplus has come since its emergence in 2009 as an outlet for the Autonomic family of artists, gradually mutating into a more wide ranging approach, with material from Actress, Kassem Mosse and Basic Soul Unit ensuring a reputation as one of the most respected labels in the bass music diaspora. The highlights on this compilation are many, but you should be checking Four Tet's contribution "For These Times" (easily his best, least fussy club track to date) "Bad Chicago" from Martyn, and Kassem Mosse's excellent "Broken Patterns".

Review: The first of two samplers heralding the forthcoming Nonplus label compilation Think and Change arrives bearing two heavy hitting tracks not to be found on the compilation proper. First up, Boddika & Joy Orbison's Sunklo hit "Mercy" gets the VIP treatment from Boddika; the result is a peak time tool which strips the original down to its barest components but still maintains the juggernaut-like quality of the original. It's joined by a fresh Kassem Mosse track in the form of "Broken Patterns", a typically tough production from the Bosse which combines and endlessly stomping 4/4 rhythm with cascading string plucks and rattling synth textures.

Review: Tom Rowlands is the spectacle-wearing-half of the Chemical Brothers and he debuts his solo work on Erol Alkan's Phantasy Sound. Rowlands merges new school styles of throbbing and jacked-up house - replete with marching snares, curdling cow bells and cut vocals - with powerful stylings of EBM. Pitch that against a synthesiser that sounds like its being hung, drawn and quartered and you have Rowlands' title track "Through Me". Meanwhile, the chainsaw synth of "Nothing But Pleasure" dominates the track, which builds into a druggy drop made for party-harder dancers moshing like they were at a Rage Against The Machine or Justice concert - harking back to the days when French electro labels Institubes and Ed Banger ruled.

Review: The "Jupiters" remixes are finally available on digital format and this time it's a strictly UK affair, with Happa and Jamie XX on remix duties! Happa's re-interpretation of "Jupiters" is a thumping beast of a track, where a startling bass drum churns its way across a militant percussion - violent hi-hats and snares all round, coated graciously by the most ominous synth stabs to have ever appeared on a Four Tet record! Jamie XX's take on "Lion" is a calmer, sub-heavy parade of swinging drums and mutating bass lines, growing in ferocity with every new bar.

Review: Ahead of a forthcoming new album for Brainfeeder, Martyn drops this killer induction into Steffi's recently established Dolly Dubs imprint. The offshoot launched in relatively low key fashion late last year, with Swedish producer Staffan Lindberg at the helm. The addition of Steffi's compatriot Martyn is however big news, with the three track Newspeak EP the Dutchman's first proper release since Hello Darkness, the single that bookended his album for Brainfeeder in March of last year. Long term devotees of the 3024 boss's output should be familiar with the sub heavy snap of the title track which featured on his Essential Mix for Radio 1 last Spring, whilst lead track "Oceania" is a rolling, broken treat.

Review: This young DJ /producer is one of 2012's most promising new artists - take one listen to Water Jump and it's clear why he is so hyped. "Reception" uses a mutant, noisy take on Chicago house basslines to brutal effect, while "Drone Logic" also revisits the past to create a new vision for the future. There, heavy drums roll in and an old school progressive house bassline - one that sounds more Guerilla than Digweed - is chewed to pieces by bursts of electronic feedback. But it's "A Quiet Life" that really stands out. Underpinned by a splurging bass, haunting angelic voices breeze in as psychedelic drums that have little bearing to traditional house / techno structures explode through the speakers.

Review: Paganini drops a heavy, functional EP for Sven Vath's label. The title track sets the tone for the release, a dark, slamming affair characterised by heavy, concrete beats and hissing percussion. A similar approach applies on "Fire In My Arms", but here the central riff drones like a strike craft moving in to drop its deadly payload.
"Polyester" is more straightforward, as a rolling groove drops and builds again, powered by metallic drums. "Hot" sees Paganini revisit the approach on the title track with insistent vocal samples littered in the arrangement, while "Parallel" features a vocal snippet intoning "I'm stretched" over a belching acid line.

Review: The adoption of a new name and a new sound by Marcus Intalex has been one of this year's success stories, with his rattling brand of warehouse appropriate techno under the Trevino moniker gracing labels as diverse as [Naked Lunch], Apple Pips and Craig Richards' The Nothing Special. With a forthcoming debut on Klockworks on the way, Trevino returns to Martyn's 3024, the label where this new name was first established. Then appearing on a split release with Instra:mental, Trevino comes through with a full release in Tactical Manoeuvre EP which brandishes three tracks that showcase the different styles and sounds of the producer. The murky warehouse vibes of the title track make it the Juno favourite here but all three productions here are clearly the work of a producer in a rich vein of form.

Review: More commonly found throwing down dubstep variations, Biome indulges his techno side on this appearance for adventurous Manchester imprint Mindset. "Spawned" is a minimal cut of the most stripped order, focusing on finely honed layers of relentless rhythm that sport a depth that belies the producer's dubstep roots. "Driveway" is more animated, working snatches of melody, bass grind and haunting pads into a dextrous mixture, while "Conscience" heads into a more mellow territory with a half step beat and lingering melodics of a more soundtrack-friendly persuasion. It's a diverse EP that displays the versatility this accomplished artist has under his command.

Review: Although it has only one release to its name - Happa's Beat Of The Drum - London club night turned record label Church is looking to be an imprint to keep close tabs on, especially on the strength of this second EP, from young London producer Rumah. Although his debut from last year demonstrated an atmospheric, syncopated style of bass music, "Stutter" shows a marked progression into swung techno styles, with a weighty track full of concrete rhythms and glassy synths; "Murmur" is similarly powerful, throwing acid flecks and sunken vocals into the mix. Meanwhile, Apes & Seb Wildblood offer their own take on "Stutter", tempering some of the original's more ferocious attributes with some subtle dub techno elements, while James Fox refixes "Murmur" into a slinky, mid-tempo house groover, whose swelling synths offer something considerably deeper.

Review: Gerd Janson's Running Back open their 2013 account with a label debut from evergreen producer Oliver Ho under his Raudive alias. Ho's garnered something of a chameleonic reputation over his 15 year recording history, demonstrating little interest in focusing on one sound or genre. Most recently seen fronting the spiky three piece band The Eyes In The Heat, Ho returns to the Raudive name that scored a great History Clock 12" for the four track Traffic EP. Fitting in snugly on Running Back, expect muscular EBM and house workouts with the detuned pianos and manipulated vocals of the title track likely to garner considerable attention.

Review: Kevin Saunderson's label has released so many classics that this compilation celebrating its quarter century is an embarrassment of riches. Classics provides an insight into Saunderson's diversity as a producer; from the classic late 80s/early 90s Detroit techno-house of "Rock to the Beat" and "The Groove That Won't Stop" through the pop techno of "Good Life" and the deeper, bass-heavy sound of his E-Dancer project, represented here by "World of Deep" and "Bassline", this is a well-rounded snapshot of Saunderson's best-known releases and projects. However, it also wins extra kudos for including some obscure gems like the classy, ominous vocal-led house of "Forces", reorded under the Essa guise.

Review: The ever-correct Prime Numbers series is still going strong, this time bringing together a thoroughly eclectic range of producers to lay down some solid club fodder. Adesse adopts the tenderest approach, bringing a soft African lilt to a subtle arrangement of light drums and poignant chords. Truss is certainly in no mood to chill on "Redbrook", going for a big room techno flavour that favours rigid beats, acid parps and epic swathes of organ. Massimo Di Lena is on a far more twitchy tip, with a snagging assortment of percussion and some woozy synths that leave one feeling wonderfully dizzy.

Review: Machinedrum, Blawan, the collaborative Third Side project and new name Kobosil remix tracks from Barker & Baumecker's brilliant debut LP Transsektoral. Up first is Machinedrum, who replaces the broken beats of "No Body" with a bassy four-to-the- floor hum-drum, starry synths and a compatible resonance that successfully maintains Barker & Baumecker's previous garage vibe, and upstart Kobosil removes any melodious element from the original "Silo" and reworks the drums suitably for peak time Berghain action. Blawan's re-command of "Crows" sees ritualistic drums swagger clumsily in and out of time to orc war-horns that sound like they're rung in the midst of battle, while Third Side then turns "Schlang Bang" inside out by buckling down on a single looped-up sample. Sometimes remix additions can be a little underwhelming, this ain't one of them.

Review: Veteran German house producer Dlugosch shows the new guard that he still has the magic touch. The title track is a forceful but feisty club groove, its warbling synths set to a backdrop of gurgling acid and crashing cymbals as an unknown vocalist promises sweet nothings. "Sweet Talk" is even more seductive; this time an old school ooh ooh vocal snippet is fused with swirling filters and a limber low-end rhythm. Admittedly, the remixes are of a high quality; Show B drops a deeper version of "Knalldrang", Nico Lahs swathes the arrangement in tranced out melodic layers that sweep in across his stepping rhythm and In Flagranti drops a version that pulses and jacks in all the right places.

Review: The first release of the year for Hessle Audio sees the long-awaited release of "Raw Code", a live favourite of the sets Peverelist and Kowton perform with fellow Bristolian Asusu as part of Livity Sound. It's been high on the request line for some time, having featured in acetate form on mixes dating as far back as the label showcase for Benji B's Radio 1 show from February of last year, securing it a place on Ben UFO's recent Fabriclive mix. The lead track sports the kind of instantly recognisable string bursts that have characterised Kowton's recent crop of grime influenced techno productions, together with a bouncy yet mechanical groove dominated by weighty sub bass. It comes backed with "Junked", a slower, decidedly more broken production reminiscent of the experimental rhythm tracks present on Pearson Sound's Clutch EP released last year. Essential.

Review: Belgian/UK label R&S claim that the tracks on Orders could 'only have been made in 2012', but this writer begs to differ. Like Truss's recent release as MPIA3 for Shifted's Avian label, part of Orders sounds like it could only have been created during the early to mid-90s. Like "Ely" and 'Squatter's Dog" from the Avian release, "Crusty Juice" and "Acid Badger" take inspiration from the sound of techno labels like Magnetic North and the pioneering US imprint Synewave. "Juice" in particular is inspired by the output from Dave Clarke's now dormant imprint. Its main focus is a distorted, grainy kick drum, a beat that is so cavernous and malevolent it could have been programmed on Lucifer's own 909. The demented horn sample that rattles in, creating more impetus for the track, could have been lifted from a Djax record, but irrespective of the source, "Juice" has the kind of raw form agression and sense of danger that's rare in contemporary techno. "Acid Badger" is slower, but its intensity levels are the same, with a pounding industrial track covered in layers of grimy acid. At any moment, it feels like a vocal is going to order the listener to 'bang the box', but it never materialises. By contrast, the remaining tracks could only have been made in 2012. The combination of rattling broken beats, distorted, tangled bass and digital noise that prevail on "Ridge Way", "Roly Poly Babs" and the title track are a byproduct of the shift towards more abstract dimensions, but they can't compare to the sheer brute force of MPIA3's 90s obsession.

Review: It seems incredible to think that despite his nearly 20 years of production experience, Dave Sumner hasn't released a full Function album until now. Thankfully Incubation proves it's been well worth the wait with the Sandwell District member really stretching his legs out for one of those techno albums that is most definitely an album experience. This nine track set bristles with great ideas and murky atmospherics, combining dystopian sci-fi soundtrack textures with the precision techno he's become known for. There are robust dancefloor tracks - see the murky acid techno of "Against The Wall" and sweaty "Modifier" - but also moments of intense, melodic beauty, from the crystalline bliss of "Counterpoint", to the dreamy hypnotism of "Inter (album version)".

Review: Like the best labels, the 3024 operation overseen by Martyn seems locked onto it's own trajectory, slipping out records as and when they feel appropriate instead of regularly churning out material just so you know they are there. The label's first release of 2013 is a sampler that shines the light on the talent bubbling in Canada right now, securing original productions from recognised names like Kevin McPhee, Bruce Trail, Nautiluss and Gingy (no Bordello) The skewed take on techno that's so popular right now is evident across all three tracks with McPhee's "Version 5" a searing delight.

Review: Soul:R boss and all round drum and bass legend Marcus Intalex's Trevino moniker has been used previously by Kaye on a split release with Instra:mental for Martyn's 3024 label, but the two tracks on this purple ten inch are much more in line with Al Bleek's material for [Naked Lunch], adopting a rhythmic poise and sound palette that leans heavily on the mid 90s bass heavy techno sound of LFO. "Buried" is the deeper of the two, building nicely from sparse percussive beginnings into a fully formed procession of warm, kaleidoscopic chords and bubbling analogue undercurrents. Those craving something darker will revel in the heady jacking brilliance of "Derelict" which betrays his D&B history via the deviant bassline twist.

Review: Richie Hawtin's label has long been associated with the minimal sound, but this release frees itself from that sound. The title track is stripped back, but it serves up a new take on classic electro thanks to its shuffling 808s and woozy, reflective synths. Tale of Us return to a more conventional approach on "Discochord" but they still avoid hiccupping mnml sounds and the squelchy acid line is accompanied by atmospheric synths. Finally, "Lost City" is more grimy and nocturnal, but again the menacing 808s and reflective synths make it sound a million miles away from the label's trademark sound.

Review: The Versatile main man and one half of Chateau Flight doesn't drop as many singles these days as he used to, but at least when he holds off he can come correct with some firepower for the floor. Sizzling hats and a solid disco beat set the tone for "Transpiration" while the meat of the track comes in the form of a nasty old-skool rave stab. It's a monster tune that should get sweat pouring from anything in a five-mile radius. The title track is a pacey, Italo flavoured cut that seems to intentionally challenge the demonic moniker, while "Jah Menta" opts for a deeper shade of disco. Highly recommended.

Review: Clone Jack For Daze usher in this rather potent three track collaboration between label boss Serge and veteran contributor Alden Tyrell. The two have been irregular studio sparrers since the turn of the decade, contributing remixes to the various branches of the Clone conglomerate, but House Countdown marks their first original material together. There's no drastic stylistic departure from their previous work here, which isn't surprising given the bare bones house ethos that drives the Jack For Daze series. Two variants on "House Countdown" line the A Side; the first "EPS Deng't" mix is dominated by the grinding, thick bassline that just about fits between the channels, while the "Eighty Nine" mix rounds out the bassline and marries it to a rough drum flex with the results more playful. Up next, the amusingly titled "Pump-o-matic" is Serge and Alden doing Dance Mania with an early 90s Dutch rave twist.

Review: Rocking up to his regular home at 50 Weapons, Bambounou brings yet more of his playful, experimental bass music to bear with this rock solid three tracker. There's a great focus on wild, disorientating noises hammered into solid rhythms, whether it's the metallic swirls that slop around the insides of "Filled", or the jerky tap drips that inject the funk into "Brim". Aside from the spicy sounds, there's also plenty to hold onto, not least with the whopping great chord stabs that also inhabit "Brim". Having said that, "Boarder" is more intent on plunging you into a bizarre soundworld of bold VHS synth drones and snaking percussion that seems intent on dodging the groove at all costs.

Review: It's hard to believe that Sweden's Drumcode has been going since 1996, but Adam Beyer's imprint celebrates its fifteenth birthday this year, and as part of the celebrations the label have released this essential 28-track compilation. Instead of looking to the past, as is usually customary with this kind of collection, 15 Years of Drumcode focuses on the newest work of the label's current roster alongside new material from some well known names from the label's past and special contributions from some bonafide techno legends. Highlights come in the form of Slam's powerhouse "Temperance", and the percolating, acid tinged textures of Jesper Dahlback's "No Control", the pulsating robo-techno of Patrick Seich's "Structure", and the dubby atmospherics of Mauro Picotto & Riccardo Ferri's "Asteroids".

Review: Next month sees Freerange boss Jimpster return to the album game with Porchlight and Rocking Chairs, this release acts as a neat teaser for what to expect. Lead track "Rollergirl" pumps in arpeggio like a night drive scene from a '80s music video clip, while breathy male vocals whisper in the tracks background. It's a melodic piece fuelled by muted tension and soft aggression. Accompanying it is "Hold My Hand", a track featuring all the Jimpster trimmings; deep piano chords, spoken word vocals, chromatic synth loops and soft, yet thumpy drums.

Review: Modeselektor's 50 Weapons label reaches its preordained halfway point with this early 90s referencing release from Dettmann. In particular, "Linux" sounds like an amalgamation of early Synewave and Robert Hood's 90s work, its squeaky, linear groove supported by doubled-up claps and subtle percussive slivers, but with a lower pace and inadvertent jerkiness which makes "Linux" more accessible to a wider range of DJs. It's a similar story on "Ellipse"; while the insistent rave horn, coupled with a succession of doubled up claps, makes it sound more insistent, it avoids the bare-knuckle extremism of the 90s minimalism that it takes inspiration from.

"Bang Your Head" is a hysterical, anthemic acid freak-out, "Dance To The Great Golfball In The Sky", is a glammy electro-house stomper, and "Lost My Mind" is, surprisingly, a total ghetto hip-hop curveball that's echoed on EP closer, "Girls In The Hood" - a deep and heavy bass-led grinder boasting a cameo from French Electroclash chanteuse Miss Kittin. Good to have him back!

Review: In the lead up to Dadub's debut album You Are Eternity, Stroboscopic Artefacts have commissioned remixes from Lakker and Rrose - their first contributions to the label - as well as Kanding Ray and label boss Lucy. All were given the chance to remix their favourite track from the forthcoming album and Lucy chose "Death", a pleasant surprise in its functionality - not commonly associated with the Italian. Lakker's remix to "Path" delivers some spaciousness and industrialism to Dadub's often busy and syncopated arrangements, while Rrose's remix of "Life" could well be touted as one of the year's best reworks with a long and drawn out build and big room drop. Kanding Ray counterbalances Rrose's mix with subtle melodies and water drop percussion in his remix to "Existence".

Review: In what might have seemed like an unlikely pairing at first, Kowton and Julio Bashmore join forces for a Bristolian crossover that yields the perfect kind of hybrid madness for these times. "Mirror Song" comes on with the gritty percussive dread that embodies Kowton's more recent output, while the more insistent house groove and catchy sample hooks show the poppier sensibilities Bashmore has brought to the table. "And What?" is less easy going, fraying and splintering into that broken snare snarl that could only come from Kowton, dodging any kind of melody in favour of industrial textures and morose bass stabs. For those needing a more linear kind of beat to work with, the "techno remix" of "Mirror Song" should fit the bill very nicely indeed.

Review: Civil Music invite some high profile artists to revisit tracks from Body, the superlative debut album set from Darling Farah with the results every bit as good as the source. Given the arresting aesthetic of the album, subverting the stylistic traditions of house and techno in a truly rewarding fashion, there's naturally a lot of space for revision and you have to applaud label and artist for who they approached for the task. Baaqi's fellow Detroit native Jimmy Edgar tackles the title track and delivers a remix filled with the kind of 90s house motifs that his Hotflush boss has been revelling in of late. Elsewhere Lando Kal turns in a typically futuristic take on "Aangel", while Darling Farah provides his own live edit of the same track, and rising Parisian producer Bambounou delivers a darkly techno flavoured remix of "Fortune".

Review: Inigo Kennedy's last record for Token was a definite record of two halves, with one track providing severe, Berghain ready techno, and the other providing ghostly melodies with echoes of Aphex Twin. It's a similarly engaging story on Cathedral, with the title track providing a fierce breakbeat together with a cavernous harpsichord melody, and though it may not seem like the most obvious of combinations, its pulsing bass undercurrent ensures Kennedy's usual power is not diminished. "Chamber" plays things slightly straighter, providing a more forceful dancefloor cut imbued with gentle hints of dub techno that bristle with the producer's usual freshness, while "Accordion" completes things with another subtly melodic cut filled with unpredictability, as stuttering drums are surrounded by synths that seem to fade in and out of view. Kennedy has gone from strength to strength with each release and this record is no different.

Review: Homeboys Grown Folk make their debut appearance on the San Fran party turned label Icee Hot, which comes backed with two painfully tasty remixes by Ghosts On Tape and Dutch house wizard, Gerd! "The Boat", as the title suggests, is one of those deep house cuts that sways back and forth with utter grace, giving us a spectacularly warming bassline to sooth us through the dark ol' winter days. "Keep New Fear" is particularly interesting and its vibrant, disjointed percussive arrangement lends the track an edgy and off-kilter vibe that blends well with the bumping electro growl stirring at its core. As per usual, Juno HQ favourite, Gerd injects his rather gnarly kicks and snares to morph the piece into a certified floor burner, whilst Ghosts On Tape take things just that little bit further, bringing in some monstrous, effect-filtered piano chords and a seriously nasty bit of drum work...ya need!

Review: Len Faki is no stranger to Ostgut Ton having mixed the label's third and possibly hardest sounding Berghain CD back in 2009. Whilst the Berlin fixture has remained resolutely busy since then, Faki has remained absent from the OSTGUT catalogue numbers. Basement Trax Vol 1 signals Faki's return to Ostgut colours in impressive and diverse fashion. Lead track "Btx1" is dominated by the heavily processed treatment of some orgasmic sounding female vocals submerged deep in the mix and smeared greedily across the channels chased by whipcracking percussion. The flipside accompaniment "Btx2" is a tougher version with the tribalistic percussion gradually consumed by the vastness of Faki's string arrangements, while the final version "Btx3" sees Faki present a swirling mass of ambient calm. How good would it be to hear this at 2pm on a Sunday in Berghain?

Review: Russian producer Nina Kraviz gets remixed in three radically different ways. KiNK's take on "Love or Go" is a mellow affair, with dubby drums mixed with a resonating bass and a warm acid bleed leading into a sensuous breakdown. By contrast, Steve Rachmad puts the focus on the dance floor for his reshape. The Dutchman's 'Jack' version is powered by heavy drums and Kraviz' vocal contribution sounds like it has been taken over by a montone robot as an atmospheric filter pushes it into an epic breakdown. Rachmad's 'Scorp' version is far heavier and more stipped back, with tearing acid lines unravelling over metallic beats and the robot reduced to intoning what sounds like 'techno, techno, techno'.

Both versions of "Falling Up" are given an ante up by Stefan Betke and although there isn't really a way to make these tracks any better, the man does a fine engineering job indeed! Carl Craig's take on it is almost too much of a classic to be described into words - if you haven't heard it then shame on thou!

Review: From the label who gave us Gorgon City and Rudimental comes another exciting new act, DVWLX (or David Wilcox as he's known to the taxman). Taking the bass flavours of labels such as Pets and Dirtybird but dropping the tempo down a notch or two, "Not Another Love Song" oozes a classy sense of timelessness. "Get Out" is darker and deeper again with a lovely succession of reverberating, dubbed out textures; think 2020 Vision's early output and you're not far off. "Just Like That" takes us deeper again, nodding at formative progressive sounds while maintaining a slight cheekiness with cool VonStroke style diced vocal hits. As far as debut records go, this is near-on faultless.

Review: With his Modularz label becoming a firm bastion of unfiltered techno machinations, Developer sets about bombarding our senses with his productions and curations across this eight track release. His own track "Heated" rattles through an industrial landscape devoid of colour, instead populated by reverb decays and distant clangs of metal, while "Dirty Drive" sees him stretching to work a melody into his machinery, coming out with a metallic dub chord drowning in its own echo, and "Dirty Drive 2" adds some complexity to the musicality and creates an utterly engrossing hook in the process. Shifted's remix meanwhile keeps a careful distance between the clean beat and the murky textures of the dubby elements. Handing over to Truncate, "Diffraction" flips the script with a central melodic hook and a thoroughly austere beat, while Jonas Kopp's remix beefs up that same theme by doubling up the phrase and edging towards a peak time monster, and Markus Suckut takes things deeper and into a more house compatible realm. For a real lesson in refined techno composition however, head straight to Stanislav Tokachev's "Building Peaks". Simplicity doesn't come more captivating than that synth line.

Review: Edinburgh producer Hostage has no intention of losing the heat garnered from a host of important releases on labels like Herve's Deep Thrills and Black Butter. The newfound interest in the deeper side of things is kept up on "How We Go Down" which features buzzing low bass and tough house beats. "Keep Dark" is sultry speed garage, the sparse "Conscious" veers into 4 x 4 territory and ""Show Ya" wraps things up with a warped rave organ riff and some very late night UKF grooves.

Review: South London Ordnance's rise has been nothing short of meteoric over the past year, and now he officially joins the aristocracy of bass music with his debut release for Scuba's Hotflush. "Revolver" is pretty much the most refined example of the current wave of tech-bass, pairing steely, swung beats with a roaring sample sounding like a dying jet engine, before moving through a multitude of dubbier techno moods. On the flip, "Transmission Funk" is perhaps the lightest thing he's produced contrasting pulsing bass and severe plate glass tones with shimmering background harmonics, all held together with his signature structural scaffold of firm kicks and sharp, rolling snares.

Stefanik Cosponsors the Metropolitan Statistical Preservation Act
A recent announcement from the office of Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, announcing her position as a cosponsor of the Metropolitan Statistical Preservation Act, features quotes from the EDC’s own President, Jim Siplon, as well as local figures Rachel Seeber, Chairwoman of the Warren County Board of Supervisors and Michael Bittel, President of the Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce. The announcement is pasted below and can be viewed here.
Saratoga, N.Y. – Congresswoman Elise Stefanik is a cosponsor of the MSA Preservation Act, bipartisan legislation led by Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-SD) to protect more than 140 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) from losing their classifications and eligibility for federal funding opportunities.
MSAs are substantially populated areas that, together with surrounding communities, have a high degree of economic and social integration. The North Country is currently home to two MSAs, Glens Falls and Watertown.
In January 2021, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued a notice and request for public comment on a set of recommendations from the Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Area Standards Review Committee to revise certain requirements for communities to be classified as an MSA. Among other things, the recommendations would increase the minimum urban area population needed to qualify as an MSA from 50,000 to 100,000. As a result of this change, both Glens Falls and Watertown would no longer be considered MSAs.
“In order to support our North Country economy as it continues to rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic, it is imperative that these areas remain eligible for the federal resources that the MSA classification provides,” said Congresswoman Stefanik. “This important legislation will address the concerns that I have heard in conversations with several local elected officials and protect their access to crucial federal programs and grant opportunities.”
“Continuity in the critical MSA designation for Glens Falls and the surrounding region is fundamental to our efforts to grow and shape the economic future of the region, especially as the gateway to the Adirondacks. Being able to direct federal recovery and investment resources as well as tracking the influx of new residents and businesses are all facilitated by our ongoing MSA designation thanks to Rep. Stefanik and the other bill sponsors.” – Jim Siplon, President, EDC Warren County
“A radical change in designation will jeopardize programs and funding that are in process or in place. I applaud the Congresswoman’s efforts to maintain funding and avoid interruptions in critical planning for services by preserving our designation.” – Scott Gray, Chairman, Jefferson County Board of Legislators
“We are thankful for Congresswoman Stefanik’s advocacy on this important issue, as we agree that it is important economically and of course in terms of our regional identity that our beautiful and vibrant Warren County, which proudly includes the city of Glens Falls and numerous thriving towns and villages, continue to be considered a Metropolitan Statistical Area.” – Rachel Seeber, Chairwoman, Warren County Board of Supervisors
“Thank you much to Congresswoman Stefanik on her responsiveness on behalf of our region to ensure Glens Falls stays an MSA. Much of our Federal funding for our region would have been in jeopardy if not for this bill.” – Mike Bittel, President and CEO, Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce
