A New and Full Method of Settling the Canonical Authority of the New ...
Per Jeremiah Jones
taken; for Leucius, as has been proved, did not live till the latter end of the third century', and consequently Origen could not reject any book on account of his interpolations. Besides, the words of Innocent are, that Leucius wrote a book under the name of Matthias, and not that he interpolated one already written: from all which it is evident, he speaks of some book distinct from the Gospel of Matthias, which Origen rejected, and so from the traditions also, which, according to the doctor, was the same book with the Gospel. If I were to conjecture concerning the books under the name of Matthias here mentioned, I should say, it seems probable, they were some Acts wrote by Leucius, under that apostle's name, for these two reasons, viz.
1. Because Leucius wrote the Acts of many other apostles, as may be above seen, Chap. XXI. towards the beginning.
2. Because in some copies of the Decrees of pope Gelasius we find mention of the apocryphal Acts under the name of Matthias.
Whatever the book was, it was certainly spurious and apocryphal (as Innocent determines) by Prop. IV. V. and VI.
No. XXXIX. The Acts of the Apostles made use of by the
Manichees. SEE concerning this in the Acts of Leucius Charinus above, Chap. XXI. where I have made it evident, these were the same with those spurious Acts composed by that notorious impostor.
CHAP. XXIV. The Gospel of Marcion no other than a copy of St. Luke's
Gospel altered and interpolated by that heretic. The Gospel of Merinthus the same with the Gospel of Cerinthus.
No. XL. The Gospel of Marcion. It would not be agreeable to that impartiality, which I would willingly evidence in the whole of this work, if I should omit the discussing any one book, which has been pretended to be sacred, and received as such in the first centuries after Christ.
Chap. 2.
Such the Gospel of Marcion was, though really no other than one of our present Gospels, wretchedly corrupted and altered by that silly heretic. We meet with very frequent mention of this work; I shall only produce the places where it is called the Gospel of Marcion, and of these I find only two; one of Tertullian, the other of Epiphanius.
Tertullian mentions it thus s. Contra Marcion, Evangelio scili- On the contrary Marcion prefixes cet suo, nullum adscribit aucto- no author's name to his Gospel, rem, quasi non licuerit illi titulum as if he might not as justly have quoque affingere, cui nefas non forged a title, as have corrupted fuit ipsum corpus evertere. the whole body of the book.
A little further t:
Ego meum dico
verum,
Marcion I
say my (Gospel] is true; Marsuum : Ego Marcionis affirmo a- cion says, that his is so : I affirm, dulteratum, Marcion meum.
Marcion's is corrupted; he says
that mine is. Epiphanius 1 calls it more than once Ευαγγέλιον το παρα Μαρxlwos, The Gospel of Marcion.
Now for the better understanding of this, we must observe, that Marcion is no where said to have composed any new Gospel, but only to have altered and changed some other. That which he changed and corrupted was the Gospel of St. Luke. Of this we have very large accounts from the ancients, especially Irenæus, Tertullian, and Epiphanius. He took away entirely the two first chapters of Luke, and many other parts, as also inserted a great many things of his own, all which was designed for the propagating his silly principles. But this matter belonging rather to the history of the text than the canon, , I shall here wave it; only observe, that Epiphanius hath largely collected the alterations and interpolations which Marcion made ; concerning whom, and this work of his, he may be sufficiently informed, who will consult the several authors referred to in the margin. I shall only observe further, that any thing that can be said in favour of Marcion's copies of St. Luke above our present copies, as far as they affect the canos Advers. Marcion. I. 4. C. 2.

nical authority of that Gospel, shall be carefully discussed in its proper place, in the last part of this work.
No. XLI. The Gospel of Merinthus. THIS is mentioned only by Epiphanius, as one of those spurious Gospels, which he supposes were written in the apostles' time, and referred to by St. Luke, chap. i. 1. "as not
being a true and genuine account y." His words are, 'Επειδήπερ πολλοί επεχείρησαν· St. Luke, in the beginning of his lva tivas pè érixeigntas delen. Gospel by these words, Forasφημι δε τους περί Κήρινθον, και much as many have taken in hand, Mήρινθον, και τους άλλους.
&c. does intimate, there had been many undertakers ; among which I say were Cerinthus, and Me
rinthus, and others. I think there is very little reason to question, but this Merinthus was the very same person with Cerinthus, of whom and whose Gospel I have above spoken, Chap. XII. No. X. for though Epiphanius seems in this place, and in a few lines before it, to make them two different persons, yet in the heresy of the Cerinthians 2 he professes himself uncertain, " whether
they were not really the same person." " The Cerinthians," says he, " are called also Merinthians, as we see by the ac" counts we now have; but whether this Cerinthus was also " called Merinthus, we cannot certainly determine; or whether " there was some other person called Merinthus, a fellow" labourer of his, God knows." Mr. Fabritius supposes they were the same, and that the name Cerinthus was changed into Merinthus by way of banter or reproach, the word signifying
And of such changes he gives several instances, as Eudoxius called Adoxius, Photius and Photinus called Scotinus, Vigilantius called Dormitantius, Faustus Socinus called Infaustus, &c. But I think it much more probable that this diversity of name arose rather from the fault of some scribe, who read in his copy Mήρινθος for Κήρινθος, i. e. an M for a C, which letters in the old way of writing Greek were not so much unlike, but that a scribe may be supposed to mistake them.

I need not therefore say any thing more concerning this book, than what is said above, Chap. XII.
CHAP. XXV. The Gospel of the Nazarenes or Hebrews; the most famous of
all the ancient Gospels : referred to by St. Paul, and many of the primitive writers of Christianity. All the places where it is mentioned, and all the remaining fragments of it produced at large. Several histories concerning Christ, and sayings of Christ, among these fragments.
N. No. XLII. The Gospel according to the Nazarenes or Hebrews. OF all the various books of the catalogue in the first part, there is none which has been so much treated of, either by the ancients or moderns, as this has. Many have wrote concerning it; and many not only of the Romish, but Protestant writers, have exalted it to a degree of authority very near equal, I had almost said superior to some, or even any, of the canonical books of the New Testament, now received. The discussing this, therefore, is not only of the greatest necessity, but requires the greatest diligence and exactness. I shall attempt it with all the brevity and clearness I can, in the following method.
1. I shall produce all that is said of it by, and all that res mains of it in, any writer of the four first centuries.
II. I will give as succinct account as I can of the opinions of later writers concerning it.
III. Prove that it was not received by any primitive writers of the church, as canonical.
IV. That it was really a spurious impious forgery, and so apocryphal.
V. Give some account of its nature, design, and authors.
N. B. First, I have above proved the Gospel according to
the Twelve Apostles, the Gospel of Bartholomew, and
that of Cerinthus, to be the same with the Gospel of the
Nazarenes ; and therefore shall not need here to produce
the testimonies of the ancients concerning them, but must
desire the reader to look back on Chap. VII. No. V.
Chap. X. No. VIII. and Chap. XII. No. X.
N. B. Secondly, the Gospel of the Ebionites, and that ac
cording to the Hebrews, appear so evidently to have been in the greatest part the same with this Nazarene Gospel, that as I have omitted saying any thing of them in their proper places, in the alphabet, so I shall here produce what is said concerning them, promiscuously with that
which is said of the Gospel of the Nazarenes. This premised, according to my method, I shall
I. Endeavour to produce all that is said of it by, and all that remains of it in, any writer of the four first centuries.

I have abovea attempted to prove, that St. Paul in these words had reference to the Gospel of the Nazarenes, and by a further acquaintance with these Nazarenes and their Gospel, am abundantly confirmed in that conjecture; as, I persuade myself, every impartial reader will also be, that shall compare it with the following accounts. 2.

Time is going by, and each season there is a particular indication on how to dress. Since things are moving forward, it is time for men to step up their fashion. For the winter and fall season, people are opting to wear thicker fabrics, subtle patterns, and darker colors. While for summer and spring, people likes to stick with bold patterns, brighter colors, and light fabrics. The items are mostly available in a Woman's Clothing and a Man's Clothing section.
There is no reason for men to look dull and not have any fun juices during the summer season. Summer is the perfect time for men to get out of their comfort zone and think about embracing new summer outfits. Summer is also the season to celebrate and adopt lazy, long, sun-filled days.
Even if it is summer, it is not an excuse for men to wear fewer clothes that will look crap on them. It is already understandable that some men do not have the leisure to invest in particular items. Of course, it is also the time to stand out while having fun. It doesn't matter how much is the budget or time men have. Here are the items that will help men in standing out from the crowd.
Since it is summer, sweating a lot is normal. There is nothing a man can do to tame the sweats. However, choosing the appropriate fabric can allow the skin to breathe and prevent the body from getting overheated.
It is advisable to avoid fabrics such as polyester, rayon, and nylon, especially if a man doesn't want to be a sweaty mess. Those fabrics don't absorb sweat, and they trap heat which can cause a cocooned-like feeling with the body's heat. It is best if men will stick with summer-friendly materials.
Cotton. Cotton is ideal for summer because it is durable, breathable, soft and a natural moisture absorber. It is ideal for savvy pieces like blazers and t-shirts, where men would want to retain a garment's silhouette and sharp cut.
When buying an item with cotton material, it is better to stick with cream or beige color, which are all on trend and perfect for parties and weddings.
Linen. Linen is a perfect fabric for summer because it is durable, long-lasting, resistant to stretching and breathable. But the major downside of linen is that it creases easily. Still, men can embrace the wrinkles and think of it as part of the style. Wearing linen will add a quality of style to any chosen look.
Seersucker. Helps in increasing airflow that will increase the chances of sweating too much, seersucker is an ideal fabric for summer. Since it is from cotton with loose tension weave, it is a material that hangs away from the skin.
Madras. The common material found in sports coats, shorts, and trousers. Madras owned its spot as an ideal material that will give comfort during summer. It is also a lightweight cotton fabric that helps in lessening perspiration.
Bonus Fashion Tip. Dressed in a simple Oxford shirt matched with shorts is a great Summer outfit. However, men can try different styles of shirts and break any conventional designs to rock an outfit best for summer. Sites online such as Seed Heritage offer a variety of shirts.
Also, shirt with short sleeve designs is every man's obvious choice since it is versatile and will match with everything such as jeans or lightweight chinos. It is an outfit that is perfect for a casual day out.
When men talk about summer, they usually don't take a formal dress in consideration, and men have encountered a workday dilemma during Summer. Even if it's Summer, it doesn't give men an excuse not to look smart while going to work. However, after commuting in the heat, it is possible that they could look like soaked puppies when they reach the office.
Linen is a favorable choice for men to wear on Summer workdays. It is lightweight but still can give a man a firm finish. It will also help achieve a sleek look while still feeling fresh and staying cool.
Bonus Fashion Tip. Choose a mix of linen and cotton materials since which are both staples for the season. With those materials in the clothing, a man can have a breathable suit that won't crease like the pure linen. Match the suit up with a cotton shirt and suede loafers. It is an outfit that is ready for office without looking like a sweaty mess.
A pair of shorts is a distinct item for summer. It has the ability tool to make one look or feel preppy, lightweight and fresh, or worst, awful. Men must ensure that they avoid the awful stage since it can give bad publicity to their fashion style. Here are some guidelines that men should follow to avoid looking awful while wearing shorts.
Don't go too short. It is ideal for shorts to have a length just above the knee. Anything that goes higher will look a little awkward. The public doesn't need to see the legs of the wearer no matter how great it is, and no one wants to see much of the thigh when the person is in public.
Keep things trim. Both baggy and super tight shorts are not ideal for summer. Men need to wear shorts that will let them feel the breeze in their nether regions.
Choose the materials wisely. The materials that matter for suits and shirts will also matter for the legwear. Denim shorts are already out of the question. Chambray material is a good alternative since it can give the same texture and it is lightweight.
Have some choices. Fresh summer clothes for men are priceless, so they need to make sure they have different options. Linen, tailored shorts for sleek casual looks, chambray shorts for casual style, and some bright colored shorts to have a vibrant finish.
Pick the right footwear. Plimsolls and shorts is a classic and comfortable combination, while brogues and shorts are not. Loafers plus shorts creates a sleek and tailored combination while boots and shorts are not. The combinations that don't match is already evident, and men need to double check if they haven't dressed as Frankenstein's Halloween outfit.
Bonus Fashion Tip. Wearing shorts will work well with a blazer jacket. For a cool summer night, it is ideal to wear denim shorts paired with T-shirt and sweater. Dressed in a blazer with shirt and tailored shorts will work perfectly in giving a casual and smart look.
Loafers are the perfect shoes that men can wear during the warmer months. It is a classic footwears that men wore for years already. Loafers' versatility makes it the best footwear because it works in any outfit.
Leather loafers look perfect for simple outfits. However, it can get a little hot. Men must invest in no-show socks for them to avoid sweaty and smelly feet. Or men can choose a softer and breathable pair of suede loafers design to avoid sweaty feet. There is no restriction for a casual or formal look when it comes to men's summer fashion.
Bonus Fashion Tip. Wear loafers with some oxford shirt and summer short. For a more casual look, men can wear their fave jeans, a plain t-shirt and slip a pair of loafers.
Since the temperature is rising and some men have restrictions in the clothes that they wear. Accessories can give impact to the simple clothes that men are wearing. The fine details are also important to complete a look.
Numerous summer ready accessories can help heighten men's fashion. Accessories such as a bracelet, statement sunglasses, a watch will stand out with a hat that will match the outfit.
For men to stand out this summer, it is important for them to stick with simple clothing while focusing on the comfortable fit and right materials. It is a smart move for them to invest in some clothes that are summer staples, with those items they can already create various looks without looking boring and spending too much.
They can also play around with different styles mixing and matching all the available pieces in their wardrobe. Men just need to remember the basic guidelines and stick on the essential pieces that they need.
To sum everything up, men need shorts, shirts, and suits that have breathable fabrics like linen and cotton. Both can give men comfort without compromising the style. And for the footwear, men can stick to loafers for a casual and smart look.

Pompey set for another port dust-up with League Two rivals
POMPEY have been challenged to rise to the occasion of a crackling port showdown.
Thursday, 23rd November 2017, 11:36 am
Gary Roberts scores against Plymouth at Fratton Park back in April Picture: Joe Pepler
The Blues renew acquaintances with Plymouth at what is set to be a packed Fratton Park on Saturday.
The clash is a sellout for home fans as the two sides lock horns again, with their rivalry increasing in recent seasons.
There's been six meetings over the past two campaigns, with that familiarity breeding a fair degree of contempt between the two camps.
Pompey keeper Luke McGee Picture: Joe Pepler
It was Plymouth who came out on top in the League Two play-offs at the end of the 2015-16 campaign.
Paul Cook's men enjoyed final-day success last term, however, as they pipped the Pilgrims to the title on the final day in dramatic fashion.
Kenny Jackett will get to sample the clash for the first time as Pompey manager this weekend.
Keeper Luke McGee will be doing likewise following his summer arrival from Spurs.
And the 22-year-old is looking for cool heads from his team-mates against Derek Adams' side.
He said: 'I'm looking forward to the occasion and looking forward to performing in front of the fans. Hopefully we can give them something to cheer about on the day.
'It's a big game, but we have to stick to our game plan and focus on what the gaffer wants us to do. We tend to do that quite well.
'The gaffer has been so successful at other clubs so we have to believe in him. We know how he wants us to play, so we have to stick to that.
'We'll have the advantage with being at home and the fans being behind us.
'There's no other stadium, especially in this league, like ours with the fans behind us. That's only going to help us.'
The Blues go into the game with their fluctuating form continuing after a midweek defeat against Peterborough.
Adams' side have won four and drawn one of their past six in all competitions, but are still second from bottom after a run of 12 League One games without a win from August to October.
It's Pompey who've adjusted better to life at the higher level – but McGee is looking for more.
He added: 'It's a credit to us to come up into the division and saying we want to be higher than we are.
'But it's the final detail we need to put together. Hopefully we can do that.
'It's going to be a tough challenge but we don't fear anyone.
'We're not a team who wants to sit back and defend.'

The BFR Round Up June 2021
The only way I can keep track of everything these days is through the Instagram stories archive so all thanks to this little app for our monthly catch-up! One more month of Festival madness and then hopefully we'll have a few calmer weeks to spend on bookish stuff.
For us, June was a tale of two halves. The first was mostly taken up with seeing family and friends, and the second was spent sorting out the house, work and admin. We can't wait for the summer holidays.
It was great to get through some non-fiction this month even though it took me ages to read it. As I'm challenging myself to read 80 books this year (currently at 39), I've made a decision to mostly stick to non-fiction via audio for the rest of 2021. Mr Loverman was my favourite book followed by Parable of the Talents, which was an improvement on Parable of the Sower. Although Sower had its merits, the pacing of Talents was more measured and the characters better developed. It was such a blow that Octavia E. Butler died before she could write the third installment. I'm hoping that Ibi Zoboi will share her information about the intended story in her biography of Octavia (due to publish Jan 2022).
The Cabaret of Plants by Richard Mabey (4/5)
Mr Loverman by Bernadine Evaristo (4.75/5)
Parable of the Talents by Octavia E.Butler (4.25/5)
Paper Girls 3 by Brian K.Vaughan (4/5)
The Lamp of Memory by John Ruskin (4/5
One extreme to the other for Al in June. He really enjoyed King's autobiographical guide to writing, but gave up on the Borges after a valiant attempt. Now into Beowulf's Children by Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle and Steven Barnes.
On Writing by Stephen King (4.75/5)
Doctor Brodie's Report by Jorge Luis Borges (DNF)
Little M chopped and changed her reading during June – picking up little chunks of longer books at bedtime, and reading picture books, guides and comics during the day. As long as she's enjoying the process, that's fine by us!
The Bookshop Cat by Cindy Wume (5/5)
Seriously Spooky Fun by Marion Haslam (5/5)
We didn't watch anything standout in June – July is looking more promising…
Our biggest trip in June was to the Lake District where we spent a day at John Ruskin's house, Brantwood (featured photo). The weather was amazing so we spent hours exploring the gardens and eating at their Terrace Restaurant overlooking Coniston Water. I would definitely recommend this destination to book lovers. Ruskin had a major influence on British art, conservation and architecture and many famous authors visited the estate including Charles Dickens. The house is also slightly off the main tourist trail, which means that you can avoid the crowds.
Later in the month we drove to Holmfirth and paid a visit to Read Bookshop – a lovely shop selling new books. It's great to see that new businesses seem to be opening in the town (it used to trade on its connection with an old TV programme Last of the Summer Wine, but younger visitors won't have a clue about that!).
I'll be working for most of July so will be mainly off the blog, but can't wait to write posts again from August. Have a brilliant month!

Independiente vs Platense Betting Tips and Prediction
When Independiente hosts Platense on Monday, they will be attempting to secure their third straight home victory.
The opposition, on the other hand, has nine points through their first five games and hopes to retain their unblemished start to the season.

Independiente 1.80 1.80 1.83
Platense 5.00 4.50 4.63
Independiente vs Platense Tips and Prediction
When the hosts play Platense in a Primera Division match, they will be looking to increase their current seven-point total.Independiente has had difficulty traveling thus far in the season, just earning one point from their three away league games.
However, their performance at home has been much more fruitful, with both of their home Primera victories.Even though their opponents played for more than 70 minutes with just 10 men, they still lost 3-1 to Patronato last Saturday, so they will be hoping for a win.
Independiente will be seeking to secure a third straight home victory while also hoping to continue their goal-scoring streak after scored in each of their previous five league games. Platense, meanwhile, has had a promising start to the season after winning four of their previous five games.
In their first game of the season, they defeated Godoy Cruz 2-1 at home. In their second match of the Primera Divison, they defeated Velez Sarsfield 2-1.However, they have failed to win in their previous three games following a 1-1 draw with Gimnasia and two scoreless draws. Platense has a winning record and currently holds sixth position in the Primera Division despite losing each of its last three games.
The visitors will be optimistic that they can win on Monday because they have kept clean sheets in each of their two away league games.
Platense has yet to lose this season, and despite the fact that Independiente has won both of its home league games this year, we believe the visitors will play out a fourth straight draw to maintain their unblemished league record.

Peter Frese (* 6. September 1953 in Krebsöge) ist ein deutscher Judoka und Sportfunktionär.

Herkunft und Beruf

Frese wuchs in einer Großfamilie als ältestes von acht Geschwistern auf, zunächst in Radevormwald-Krebsöge, dann in Lüttringhausen, wo die Familie auf dem Werksgelände der Firma Gedore wohnte. Sportlich hatte er bereits Erfahrungen als  Handballer im  Goldenberger Turnverein gesammelt, bevor er im Alter von zwölf Jahren zum ersten Mal einen Judokampf erlebte und fortan zu dieser Sportart wechselte. Nach einer Ausbildung zum  Technischen Zeichner, schrieb er sich erst für ein Studium der Sicherheitstechnik ein, entschied sich aber dann dafür, staatlich geprüfter Diplom-Sportlehrer für Judo zu werden. In Wuppertal leitete er eine Judo-Schule und beteiligte sich an einem Fitness-Center.

Sportliche Laufbahn

Frese gewann drei Bronzemedaillen bei Deutschen Meisterschaften und hatte Einsätze in der Bundesliga und im Nationalkader. Seinen größten sportlichen Erfolg als Kämpfer errang er 1983 mit der Goldmedaille bei den Internationalen Meisterschaften in Zürich, bei denen er im Leichtschwergewicht, der Gewichtsklasse unter 95 kg, antrat. 1985 beendete Frese nach einer Schulterverletzung seine aktive Karriere und wandte sich in seiner eigenen Judo-Schule ganz dem Training von Leistungssportlern und der Förderung von Talenten zu. Frese trägt heute den rot-weißen Gürtel des 6. Dan.

Karriere als Funktionär

1999 gewann Frese die Wahl zum Präsidenten des Nordrhein-Westfälischen Judoverbands (NWJV). Als Zuschauer bei den  Olympischen Spielen 2000 in Sydney begeisterte ihn die Bronzemedaille  von Anna-Maria Gradante so sehr, dass er sich entschied, den Judo-Sport als Funktionär noch weiter zu unterstützen. Noch im selben Jahr wurde er zum Präsidenten des  Deutschen Judo-Bundes (DJB) gewählt. Dieses Ehrenamt hatte Frese bis 2019 inne.

The Avalon Media System is an open source system for managing large collections of digital audio and video files. The freely available system enables libraries and archives to easily curate, distribute and provide online access to their collections for purposes of teaching, learning and research. The Avalon community is made up of a dozen educational, media and open-technology institutions. The project is led by the libraries of Indiana University and Northwestern University and is funded in part by a three-year National Leadership Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
Video and audio collections for education are growing in importance and size. University libraries and archives need a complete and scalable system so they can easily curate their video and audio files and manage workflows for generating video and audio content. Their key requirements include:
Support for robust, standards-based metadata for description and annotation of time-based media.
Support for authentication and authorization.
Ability to accommodate special requirements for digital media asset preservation and long-term archiving.
Integration with preservation repository services.
Leverage other open-source higher education projects such as Hydra and Opencast Matterhorn.
Avalon is a follow-on product to the Variations Digital Music Library, an open source system developed at Indiana University and in use there since 1996 in various forms. Variations is also being used at approximately 20 institutions, mainly for streaming music course reserves.
In 2010, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) gave a $50,000 National Leadership Grant to Indiana University and Northwestern University to plan development of Variations on Video -- since re-named the Avalon Media System -- from August 2010 through June 2011. A second IMLS National Leadership Grant, for $948,000, is helping to support Avalon's development from October 2011 through September 2014.

Pros and cons with internet connection leave me unsettled. How about you? It's not "if" we need discretion, but how and why, and when. "Hoping for the best" doesn't pan out; there's too much to consider. But I refuse to dwell in fear. How do you feel about it all?
Most of us, especially if you're in on this conversation, are trying to figure out some kind of balance with technology. And however deliberate, we approach it with one of three ways: Avoidance (limiting exposure), Acceptance (living in the moment), or Accommodation (a combination of both). Bluntly, we either dodge it, ignore it, or engage it.
It's a juggling act, right? A fine balance of awareness and limitation, advantage lies with fierce commitment to boundaries, freedom, and constant communication. Without these things, we fall complacent to 'accept' whatever lands on our doorstep.
This is all reallyhumbling.The ebb and flow for independence still requires more. It calls for a willing heart. Character is a choice, the key to all of it.
So, the question is really this.How do we encourage strong character?
Could it be so easy!?
Here are some ideas for inspiring strong character with technology freedom in our homes, including (a parenting perspective).
Age and experience do not define us. Online identity is powerful.
Every day is a new beginning! Be determined for this, no matter where you are at.
I often wonder, what would it have been like to raise kids 20 years ago? Does every generation feel like their dilemmas are the hardest? When I wish for a manual on modern revolution, I have to remember that it all falls back on the heart. And since the beginning of creation, that has always been. I'm thankful for my faith and the power that prayer has in my life. I don't center posts around this, sensitive that there are many beliefs. But for me, my faith in God is the greatest source of peace I can ever find.


Typically used for providing long run times during unattended monitoring when onsite power is unavailable, if it runs off DC power our engineers can custom configure our rental equipment to use these external batteries.
For projects that cannot be pickup up locally and require portable power, rental equipment will ship preconfigured and ready for use with your own batteries.
With a large 55 Ah capacity and great reliability, our deep cycle AGM lead acid batteries are used in most applications where a large reserve of 12 VDC power is required. These maintenance free batteries can be mounted in almost any position and are spill proof making them safe for both the user and the environment. They work well with all of our equipment that runs off 12 VDC and can be connected in small to large banks for any runtime that the project requires.

Last thursday I attended a gala in hotels van Oranje in Noordwijk. There were some great performers and we danced the night away. Oh we had so much fun!
By the way: yes those 'extra hands' are from the person I took the photo's with haha.


I have always lived surrounded by books.
As a child, it was normal to check out at least twenty titles a month from the library and receive copious amounts of literature on holidays and birthdays. I assumed that it was common for people to constantly run out of shelf space and have long discussions about where to put new bookcases. The first thing we thought about while renovating was where we were going to put new shelves. Books have always mattered intensely to my family, and I thought that everyone else felt the same way.
Of course, by the time that I was school-age, it became quite obvious that the rest of the world did not operate as a mirror image to my home life. Some people don't know what lentils are or prefer to spend large amounts of time watching television. We all make different choices about how to spend our free time that–as long as no one is being hurt–are all equally valid. But I still can't shake my surprise that other people don't care for books the way I do.
Last year, I read easily over a hundred books for school and pleasure. It wasn't hard, and I still feel like I should have read more. I could have spent a lot less time on tumblr and watching The Office. I still feel like I have a huge book debt left over from high school when I was too busy to read over forty books a year.
Besides, I like to use books to sort of spy on people. When I'm at someone's house, I love reading the titles of books they have lying about. You can learn quite a bit about someone from what they're reading. (i.e. Audrey's bookshelf is littered with books about the Middle East, a testament to her passion for social activism and human rights, and works from the Beat Generation, reflecting her interest in counterculture.) It's a wonderful way to gain insight into their lives. Free time is limited, and people rarely read something they don't have any form of connection to. The books we read are extensions of ourselves and our interests.
My bookshelves are stuffed, books cram my desk and bedside table and sit on the floor in rather precarious towers. I own fat tomes about American history and silly YA romances. I have Salinger's complete works inches from my pillow, and I keep a few books in bed with me. (I've woken up with weird crease marks on my face too many times to count.) Test prep books and heavily annotated school texts sit in two fat stacks in a corner, banished as far away as the room's perimeter will allow. If you were to look at the hundreds of titles in my room, you'd have a fair understanding of my personality and interests without ever meeting me.
I simply can't imagine a life without books.
Day two of being sick draws to close. I think I managed to bruise my nose by hitting my face on a cabinet.
Here's a third of my books that are currently without a home in a bookshelf. This is the stack of books I've purchased or been given in the past six months. I've read all of them.
Hey – there's a whole wall in the background sans shelves. Find those babies a home!
Unfortunately, there's a window and a door that needs to be able to open, so the wall isn't actually as free as it looks. I'm going to have to redesign my room in order to get it all to fit. But seeing as I love decorating, I have no problem with this debacle!
There never seems to be as much room for books as you need, no matter how many bookshelves you have. Yes, I know this from experience!
Exactly! Books are the best!

There is no kind of dishonesty into which otherwise good people more easily and frequently fall than that of defrauding the government. — Benjamin Franklin
Venus went away after telling her son the story of the oxhide and of the founding of Carthage; and Æneas, following her advice, then walked on to the city. Here he was kindly received by the beautiful queen, who made him and all his companions welcome in her palace. While there Æneas told her all about the long siege of Troy, the taking of the city, his escape by night, his long wanderings on the sea, and his shipwreck near her city.
These stories greatly interested Dido, and she kept Æneas in her palace almost a whole year. As she had fallen in love with him, she would have liked to keep him there always; but the gods had decided that Æneas should again set sail, and one day they sent him orders to depart at once.
Æneas knew that Dido would do her best to keep him in Carthage, so he stole away while she slept, without even bidding her good-by. When she awoke and asked for him his ships were almost out of sight.
In her grief at his departure, Dido made up her mind to die. She gave orders that all the things he had used during his visit should be placed on a great pile of wood. Then she set fire to it with her own hand, and, stabbing herself, sprang into the flames, where she died.
Of course we know that such a deed is a crime; but in the days of Queen Dido, people had not learned many of the things that are now taught even to children, and they thought it was very brave to take one's own life.
Æneas and his companions, having left Carthage, now sailed back to Sicily, where they visited the tomb of Anchises just one year after his death. To show respect for his father's memory, Æneas ordered the celebration of games, as was the custom among the Trojans. The men strove with one another in a boat race, a foot race, in boxing and archery matches; and the boys took part in a drill and sham battle on horseback.
After the games were over, the Trojans coasted along the shore of Italy for some time, and finally came to the mouth of the Tiber River. When Æneas saw the fair country that stretched out before him, he bade his men sail up the stream, and towards evening they all went ashore to cook their food. Some flat cakes were baked, and as they had no dishes with them, Iulus proposed that these should serve as plates.
The men all sat down around the fire; and Iulus, who was very hungry indeed, quickly ate his share of meat, and then devoured the cake on which it had been placed. As he swallowed the last mouthful he cried: "Just see how hungry I was! I have eaten even the board on which my meal was served!"
At these words Æneas sprang to his feet, and cried that the prophecy was fulfilled at last, and that now they could settle in the beautiful country they had reached. The next day they were welcomed by Latinus, King of Latium, who, after hearing their story, remembered his dream, and promised that Æneas should have his daughter Lavinia in marriage.

L'oratorio di San Giovanni Battista e Santa Chiara, detto dei Bianchi, è un luogo di culto cattolico situato nel comune di Ventimiglia, in salita San Giovanni Battista, in provincia di Imperia.

Storia e descrizione
La sua costruzione fu voluta dalla confraternita dei Bianchi nel corso del XVII secolo sul sito religioso ove già esisteva una chiesa dedicata a santa Chiara d'Assisi, quest'ultima già sede della confraternita dei Disciplinati.

L'interno dell'oratorio si presenta ad unica navata, un profondo presbiterio e un arco trionfale decorato a stucco (1695).

All'esterno, ai lati della facciata, rimangono le basi di due piccoli campanili, lesionati in seguito al terremoto del 1887 e successivamente demoliti.

Nel secondo dopoguerra l'edificio, con la perdita della confraternita dei Bianchi, fu convertito in sala cinematografica e teatrale con la conseguente perdita delle decorazioni seicentesche, degli arredi e delle tele conservate. Solamente il crocifisso in legno della prima metà del Quattrocento e una tela di Giovanni Andrea De Ferrari (Battesimo di Gesù con santa Chiara, datata tra il 1633 e il 1635) sono conservati all'interno della cattedrale ventimigliese.

Nel corso degli anni dieci del duemila il sito è stato oggetto di un'opera di restauro conservativo, conclusa nel 2014, che ha riportato il seicentesco oratorio al suo originario aspetto.

All along the consensus of opinion has been that those of us that were around in the late seventies and early eighties now of course in our fifties and sixties would be very keen to see a centre documenting that time. Of course I then had a great response at the Fruitmatket pop-up from those who remember the sixties a time that had largely been forgotten bar the occasional Beatles story.
Certainly social media confirmed the love felt not just for the bands but also the clubs, venues and even shops and pubs of the time. Other areas of the arts have their wealthy patrons and supporters and it didn't seem unreasonable to expect that from this pool of people with fond memories some would fill these roles.
Make no mistake the reason this has not been done before is because those who had similar ideas could not get funding and it is only because I have sunk a large amount of time and money into a project I believed was important that we are so close to achieving something.
In virtually every area the response to the idea has been fantastic and people have been so helpful. The one difficulty has been financial support. If things had moved more quickly I might just have managed myself but again by the standards set by others the three years this has taken is quick. One senior arts figure tried to console me by saying what I had done in three years would normally take seven. I didn't feel better !
I reckon I have about three years worth of things to look into and of course what this means is that the exhibition centre will be ever changing. I certainly hope that anybody visiting once a year will see enough different things every time to be happy. What it also means is that there is no reason there can't be exhibitions elsewhere possibly in other Edinburgh venues but also in other cities.
I understand not everybody was impressed with Midge Ure's coat at the launch of the museum's exhibition this year but there is much more to be revealed there I'm sure. In the big picture it is a temporary showcase but it should certainly help with getting a permanent centre with a wider remit off the ground.
Time is now against me and what that means is that I will have to go with what plans I have whether finalised or not very soon which is a risk. It is hard enough getting things done but I did think with the museum exhibition coming up and the need to have everything in place three months earlier it would produce results but it hasn't.
This next week is a huge week and it is possible everything will just fall into place. As always I would like to thank everybody who has given their time and effort and hopefully the wealthy patrons will follow !
Don't worry I didn't need 11 copies of The Only Ones "Another Girl, Another Planet" and I still have a UK, US and promo copy ! Many other things I had on CD and vinyl so didn't need both and then other stuff I just felt able to part with.
A huge amount has been achieved and there was a successful pop-up at the Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh in June for three days that saw over 1,500 people visit.
We had original copies of sixties beat band The Athenians 7″, backstage passes from Scars gigs, handwritten postcards from Postcard Records supremo Alan Horne and the original paintings for the Arab Strap album "Philophobia" along with more recent items and many other things not seen for decades or in some cases never seen before.
Hanging on the wall as you entered was the guitar Paul Haig of Josef K bought from Edwyn Collins when he was in Orange Juice.
I have been aware since April 2016 that the National Museum of Scotland would be holding an exhibition in 2017 from June to November called Rip It up – The Story of Scottish Pop and indeed such was the quality of the pop-up that some of the exhibits will be loaned temporarily to the museum's exhibition.
The centre now has the backing of Edinburgh Council and has attracted the interest of several potential sponsors both from Scotland and further afield. Covering six decades of music the exhibition will also include labels, artwork, posters, badges, venues, clubs, photographs, memorabilia and even a few shops and the odd pub !
Never intended to just look back at the fantastic history of Scottish pop music the centre will also actively support current artists and recover much of its overheads from shop sales of related music and merchandise. Depending on the space we choose there will be at least a performance space and possibly a cafe/bar/venue.
In order to be up and running in time for May so the centre is ready to complement the museum exhibition I need to dedicate the next two months to getting the project over the line. A £15K research grant fell through a while ago and while £5K will keep things going that higher figure would make a huge difference to what can be done in the time.
For future funding any support shown now will be immensely useful and I'm already incredibly grateful to all those who have helped reach this point where there is no doubt of the quality of the exhibition or the benefits there will be to both musicians old and new and as an attraction for Edinburgh.
There is already a range of exclusive vinyl releases and merchandise planned to coincide with the centre opening as well as gigs throughout the year and some surprises I can't reveal just yet. We intend to work closely with the Queen's Hall as well as smaller and indeed larger venues.
2018 will be a fantastic year for Scottish music and there are other partners I'm in talks with that will give Scottish music and in particular new music a very high profile indeed. Expect some exciting updates !
All the hard work has been done making sure there will be enough interesting exhibits though there are still many more people I need to contact to secure even more for the future. It is intended that there will be new things to see on a regular basis.
A simple donation can be made or can be in return for a voucher that wil be able to be exchanged against any of the releases, memorabilia or gigs. While income is needed even helping with cash flow until the centre is up and running will be a great help.
Once everything is in place a not-for-profit organisation with a board will be set up to oversee the centre. This will then make it eligible for grants and other types of support in the future. All vouchers will be my personal responsibility.
Knowing how many fans a band had among your customers was key to success in the eighties and nineties when coming up with a base figure to order for smaller indie bands. However for most releases you then added a figure on top which was often far greater than the fan base figure allowing for what you thought other customers would buy.
Another factor would be how good the album was which may seem a daft thing to say but playing a good album at lunchtime or after 4pm when workers and students were finishing for the day could lead to many sales as we proved all those years ago with the Whipping Boy "Heartworm" album.
It is still considered a classic today but didn't sell as well as expected. Sony asked me to meet the band and their rep to explain why we had sold hundreds when elsewhere sales were slow. The answer was quite simply that we knew it would appeal to our customers and we could sell four or five a day just by playing it at the right time to people who had never heard of the band.
Shops have different types of customers and fans were just one type but as more people shopped online they became a bigger part of the equation and at that very time labels and artists themselves decided to target those fans directly. The online shoppers who knew they wanted, the new Bjork album for instance, would if they had gone to a shop often have seen other things they wanted or may well have asked what else was new. Buying online, normally from Amazon, meant the album arrived through their letterbox on the Monday but all those potential other album sales were lost. You also have to remember this was at the height of Amazon not paying VAT sold a £10 Bjork CD was £8 from Amazon.
Buying online is fine for buying what you know you want but what became clear was that it was costing lesser known band sales. When bigger local bands started selling directly, often to fans who had first discovered their music in a shop, then the writing really was on the wall for newer, smaller artists.
There were many people we just saw a few times a year buying the big local releases they couldn't get in HMV or FOPP but they very rarely just bought just one album and often bought many other local releases asking for recommendations since they were last in. Once we started to lose those customers to direct sales the other bands lost out too.
Eventually I insisted that to stock a release I needed to have it on sale at the same time as the band for the same price and have the same thing. Quite a few took exception to this claiming it was their album to do with as they wished. This of course is true but it was my job to give customers best value and making them wait a week or so to buy an album with no extras for a higher price was clearly daft.
Given a chance we could still do a great job as we showed with the Withered Hand album "New Gods". We sold 120 of the gold vinyl which was limited to 500 and 150 CDs. Most of those customers, even the online ones, also bought something else. If you look at our online shop you will see a section with "customers also bought" and it will have lots of other similar releases when often those online shops that do use this feature have very little.
What this has brought us back to again is the customer. My policy on stocking was completely based around the customer, not making demands from the bands or worrying about lost sales. Don't get me wrong it was clear that if shops lost too many sales then the feasibilty of supporting local bands became questionable but the key thing was happy customers and I simply could not match what they could get directly.
Of course when I was selling an album to a visitor asking for recommendations none of the above mattered but that is far more time consuming. We went from selling to fans and then maybe half again on recommendation to selling most on recommendation. At the same time a small local album that we might have sold an extra ten or twenty of on the back of bigger artists started to suffer badly too.
As I say online shop customers would make up for this a little as our reputation for recommending good albums moved to social media. Probably the last album to benefit that way was Laurie Cameron's album "The Girl Who Cried For The Boy Who Cried Wolf". Great title, great artwork and a great album ! Now Avalanche's influence has never been greater but folk will simply go and stream any album we support.
Which brings us up to where we are today. I had a large number of lovely messages from people when they bought things online this Christmas. Mostly they were people who had been in Edinburgh as students and very much enjoyed shopping at Avalanche and discovering bands they still loved but had since moved away. Many clearly now kept informed on social media and wished me luck with the new plans.
They may be big now but many people discovered bands like Belle and Sebastian and Mogwai through Avalanche and still remember first hearing them in the shop. Others recollected long chats sometimes just as visitors and having come away with a bag full of albums they still played today. To be honest as a shop I just don't think that sort of thing is possible any more.
I remember well somebody buying the There Will Be Fireworks albums online when they came back in stock. With his order was a note saying I probably wouldn't remember but I had been playing the EP that was in stock in St Mary's Street and he had asked what it was and bought it. He had waited ever since to see the albums on sale and thanked me for introducing him to the band. He was based in Germany and I did remember.
If I still had the shop I don't believe any of this would still be possible except on rare occasions. Students would hang around Avalanche in West Nicolson Street when we opened at 9.30am waiting for a 10am lecture whereas now they would sit drinking coffee and looking at their phone. Many customers became friends and I still see a few people from those days in the eighties and early nineties today. I even went to the Potterrow reunion !
On the other hand while there are a few people in bands I hope I can call friends my interest is simply in promoting good music. Meanwhile to a large extent now the Scottish music industry is just friends helping each other out. While this is not always a bad thing when it becomes the norm and at the expense of other bands progressing it is not a healthy situation. That this is actually encouraged officially under the title of "networking" says a lot about the state things are in.
I am hoping that if I can get the new exhibition centre off the ground then the shop element of it can bring back some of that experience that people had discovering new Scottish bands. There was a really nice vibe at the Fruitmarket exhibition with lots of old faces popping in to say hello and even more people I'd never met particularly wanting to chat about the sixties which have largely been forgotten but were a great time for Scottish bands. I learnt a lot !
Most people only buy two or three albums a year believe it or not and those albums are normally by Ed Sheeran, Adele and a handful of others. Keen fans buy directly and casual fans mainly buy from HMV and Amazon and now quite scarily supermarkets. Direct to fan sales are just that and can not replicate larger more varied customer sales in a shop.
Not even labels and record companies with new artists to promote look at the bigger picture and consider that their strategy with their established bands is holding back newer bands. So this blog isn't a futile attempt to change anything, it is just to explain what I hope will be the new centre's philosophy of looking beyond fans and taking new and older Scottish music to new people and giving all musicians a chance.
In recent conversations with people connected in one way or another with the music industry it has become clear that there are now many people, and not necessarily just young folk, who don't know how the music industry operated for decades and more importantly how we reached the point we are at now.
By no means were things perfect in the old days but at least the path was clear if not easy. Bands would start off just doing local gigs trying to build up a following. The aim was to get the attention of a label who would sign the band. All music had to be recorded in a studio which wasn't cheap so having a label who would pay the costs was essential for many.
At the same time all indie labels had distribution which meant that if a band could get some press or national radio play then they could get their release to shops further afield. This is of course where John Peel played such a big part. If your record was any good at all and John played it the next day folk would be in the shops asking for it and shops would be on the phone asking distributors for stock.
Exporters would take any release from an established indie label and again if there was any media exposure at all it wasn't too hard to start selling copies in Europe and even America. Operating in a completely different world were the major record companies and a lot of the time indie labels were a stepping stone to signing to a major record company.
Radio play wasn't easy but there was always the hope for a band that John Peel would play their record. Press and reviews wasn't easy either. Everybody would send their records to the NME, Sounds and Melody Maker with little chance of success but should they get a review it would make a big difference and a record of the week would often lead to a record selling out.
Just to release a single was a big thing. It was possible for a band to do it all themselves and get the release into local shops but certainly not easy. Now over time things changed with big indie labels and proper indie distribution but the basics were still there until the internet arrived. In theory this seemed to be just what bands needed. By now recording music was not such an issue and all a band had to do was make it available online and the world was their oyster.
Lots of labels sprang up run by people who had other full time jobs and little by way of connections in the established music industry and no access to distribution. In theory none of this mattered as these labels would simply make releases available online both digitally and physically and their supporters would write about them on their blogs and play them on their internet radio stations. The orders would roll in !
Of course what has happened is that anybody can claim to have released a single by making a song available online and publicise it on social media with a suitable quote from their friend who has a blog but that doesn't mean that anybody will even see it never mind care.
Essentially the reality is that not only is it more difficult to get people to hear new music now but should they hear it, and should they like it, then it has never been harder to get them to pay for that music. The problem is this seems to be all the future holds with established bands operating in a different world relying on a fan base created under the old system.
Everything is now focused on direct to fan sales no matter how established an artist is and truth be told that isn't working out that well for many. PledgeMusic lead the way in targeting superfans but what has emerged is a culture of trying to make more and more money from a dwindling number of fans.
As with when CDs first came on the scene the vinyl revival has been a godsend to record companies and established bands as they sell people the music they already own again. When they sell fans new music they do their best to sell the t-shirt and the gig ticket as well and then charging extra to sign the vinyl or CD. They maybe even charge a ridiculous amount for a signed "white label".
If there is to be a way forward it has to be based on things as they are. Bands hold all the cards but generally don't know how to play them and the people they are trying to reach mostly don't see any need to pay for music any more.
What I have recently realised is that the big difference between shops selling music, on the high street or online, and bands and labels selling music is that that while the latter sell to fans, shops sell to customers and therein lies the difference and possibly the future.
In the late eighties before the advent of the Premier League an 80s indie band might be described as a good "third division" band. This was based far more on sales than on how good the band was and many of my favourite bands of the time come from that lineage.
First division bands would sell 20K+ and that would be a level the majors could work from. Second division bands hovered around the 10K mark and were of interest to the majors who would consider whether with their backing sales would improve. Third division bands would sell a few thousand, sell out small to medium sized venues and were often just one hit away from promotion. Nobody proved this better than Pulp.
Of course things are much different now and if you sell 10k records you would be unlucky not to be top 10, possibly top 3 and on rare occasions you would have a number one album ! The other thing that has changed is that before the internet bands built up a following locally and then gradually expanded their sphere of influence. Now 500 loyal fans can be spread all over the world which from a gig viewpoint is no use at all.
For a while issues wee mitigated by how cheaply CDs could be made and bands having access to recording their albums for free or at least for relatively little. However now we are back in the world of vinyl which for all its advantages is not a cheap format to produce.
This brings me to The Salient Braves "Barnsley's best kept secret" and their album "Delusions of Grandeur" which was brought to my attention on twitter. They describe the album as 80s influenced indie and they are not wrong. Fans of the Scottish indie bands of the time the songs don't rely on generic jangly guitars but instead are more lyric focused and sometimes veer into Half Man Half Biscuit territory.
So far so good. Their aim is a modest one to sell 200 copies of their album on vinyl and given what I've already said that is a reasonable goal.
I see they say they can't gig a lot and that is a problem. If you can sell just five copies every gig after the initial push then sales figures do start to mount. Radio play and reviews I wouldn't worry so much about. Contrary to what they think if somebody of influence says an album is great that won't matter unless the album really is outstanding as people will at best go away and listen, quite like it, maybe even go back and listen again but not consider it worthy of their cash.
Personally I can still make a big difference to an album if I say it is outstanding and worth people's attention but that is because I do so very little. If I was saying every week how good bands were or even worse being paid to say that then nobody would take any notice. However even I now struggle to generate sales as it becomes clear that there has to be a personal connection with the artists that make folk want to physically own something by them otherwise they will simply just stream their music.
What I can do with the extensive social media presence Avalanche now has and given its high rate of engagement is bring music to people's attention knowing it will appeal to some. Of those people a few will buy and even more will be aware and listen out for the band in the future.
There has been movement on all fronts and while there are several options for the centre they are all clear in my mind now. Several people have come forward to help try and get us over the line which has been an immense help and added to those stalwarts who have been with us all along it means that one way or another I'll have an announcement immediately after New Year.
Generating income and a building are still key. I'd hoped to have far more in place to help with income before Christmas and even nailing down building options is proving problematic but if we are to be ready in time to complement the museum's Rip It up exhibition starting in June then we will have to go with what we have in January.
I would love to say more but can't. Suffice to say if I can hit 75% of our target it will be amazing. One good thing is that nobody has any doubts about the quality of the exhibition that will be produced or our ability to deliver and promote it. In the meantime do please consider buying from our Discogs site or online shop. Any income at the moment helps !
I was told very early on that life would be a lot easier if I had a location and money. Obvious I know but that really is how it works even for the largest projects. The new concert hall has location and financial backing so it gets even more money.
I don't think anybody doubts the quality of the exhibition that would be produced nor all the amazing releases and merchandise that would go with it but it was always said that especially once people saw what could be, and the Fruitmarket Gallery pop-up was a huge success, sponsors and financial backers would come forward. If nothing else people of a certain age who had made their money and loved their music would see an opportunity to have a permanent legacy.
I would love to have a location by now but the centre does have the backing of Edinburgh's councillors and council officials at the highest level and they are committed to providing a building so I have to be content with that. If I can get sponsorship from businesses who don't normally support the arts I can have that doubled up to £40K which would become £80K. There can be several sponsors so no need for one company to come up with the whole amount.
From classical music to the visual arts there are patrons who finance things like this but despite amazing publicity nobody has come forward which does confirm what I was told which was that you have to very actively chase people for money, something I'm not particularly happy with. I intended to put money in myself but over three years have used up everything I had and much more just to reach this point.
The situation is now beyond critical though at least some exclusives to sell will start filtering in soon starting hopefully with the TV21 double vinyl. In the absence of any big sponsors it will take the support of the very bands and labels to be featured to make the centre possible along with of course their fans.
Several bands have already offered support as have labels such as Jeepster, Domino, Cherry Red and Chemikal Underground. There is no doubt people will support any fund raising but you have to give them something to buy or a gig to go to. With regard to the latter, again venues are very supportive and I even have use of places like the Queen's Hall and Usher Hall. So far I've only approached those who have worked with Avalanche closely for many years but now it is essential to involve as many bands, labels and people as possible.
Over the course of the week I will outline all the avenues we will go down to try to make sure the centre is properly financed in time and then over the course of the next year. Hopefully one way or another everybody who wants to get involved will find a way to help. As always I would like to thank those who have helped get to where we are already. It is a marvelous achievement and has only been possible by the kindness of others.
Late January 1991 and Avalanche receives a call from Sounds the music paper. Andrew Tully Avalanche's manager and front man, comedian and raconteur of Edinburgh's second best jangly guitar band Jesse Garon and the Desperadoes answers. They would like to know what we think of the new pop sensations the Manic Street Preachers. Andrew shouts over to me and busy with customers (this was the early 90s remember) I gave the simple reply "a little too fond of The Clash". I'd just seen them on an Oxford Road Show repeat that I'd turned over to while trying to stay awake during the recent Super Bowl and that seemed a fair assessment.
Clearly disappointed they asked if Andrew had anything more humorous or controversial to add. "Well apart from them being Welsh and wearing too much make-up, not really" Andrew replied jokingly. Would we stock the new single they asked. Probably not we said. Next issue of the paper went with Avalanche has banned the Manic Street Preachers for being Welsh and wearing make-up. Manics fans started coming in hassling us and we would politely explain it had just been a joke but they were not to be placated.
There was even a cartoon about the affair with the punchline revealing Mike Peters from Welsh band The Alarm but as it was about to go to press Sounds folded. The curse of the Manics had begun !
Anyway we forgot about it but come May the Manics embarked on their ironically titled You Love Us tour with Edinburgh the first stop. Not having yet reached their stadium rock status they were playing at The Venue and the next morning Robert, Avalanche's Sub Pop expert and joiner extraordinaire opened up the shop. To quote Robert soon after "a wee guy came in, put a CD on the counter, said this is for you and ran out". Said CD was Motown Junk and each band member had signed it with a message. They were not wishing us well !
So began a rather one-sided feud with the Manics still mentioning Avalanche from time to time in interviews, commenting at gigs that we had closed down when we hadn't and generally not letting it go. I believe we still got a mention only a few years ago. By the mid-nineties the shop was split with Andrew not only enjoying the Manics brand of corporate stadium rock but even going to their Glasgow gig as a guest of Sony and shaking James' hand.
And so all good things must end and to help raise funds for the new Scottish Pop Music Exhibition Centre I'm selling the famous signed CD. It seems only fair that I'l donate some of the money to a charity of the Manics choosing. Let us see what we are offered. Unsigned the CD has sold for £50 to £90 so a CD signed by all four members will be worth considerably more and with the story attached ……………… I'll see what offers are received and if there is nothing suitable I'll put it on Discogs. All offers to kevinavalanche@hotmail.com. Would I buy them a pint if I met them now. Of course I would !


Can you believe it was less than one month ago that we first discussed coverage of Ted Haggard's fall from prominence? As November has progressed, we have seen quite a few stories related to the ordeal. The early days of the story focused on the hypocrisy angle, about which I highlighted an alternate view. The schadenfreude/gloating stories thankfully were kept to a minimum and many outlets -- Denver media in particular -- have done an excellent job of finding valid news angles.
Even under normal circumstances, replacing the charismatic founder of a successful institution is a challenge. The circumstances behind Haggard's fall are extraordinary, but the road ahead for New Life Church is not one it alone will travel.
Gorski takes New Life's succession plan -- or lack thereof -- and puts it in a larger context. He looks at how other megachurches have replaced their charismatic leaders, with greater or lesser success. My favorite part was the sidebar with details on the process by which a new pastor will be found. Apparently New Life Church held its first membership meeting in its 21-year history on Monday night.
"We are not very good as a church with knowing how to do restoration," Magnuson said. "We either want to sweep it under the rug and say it's no big deal or we want to make it impossible.
"Evangelicals are great at doing. We are those who are working in the world. As evangelicals, we are not very good wrestling with the inner life, who we are and what's going on in the inside."
Some ministers credit part of the success of such churches to sermons that carry a practical message.
Natalie Anderson of Georgetown, Ind., said she attends Northside in part because it provides "a real-life message that you can apply."
Juxtapose the last two excerpts against each other. Interesting, eh? Perhaps some enterprising reporter will explore the tension between practical messages and the tendency to avoid the inner life.

A lesser known pocket of this historic memory were a wave of race riots started by white supremacists during a hot World War II summer. Their rage at incoming black factory workers exploded in 1943.
By the 1920s, Detroit was already infested with organized hate groups like the KKK and the Black Legion. Decades later during the second World War, the city was still predominantly white when hundreds of thousands of Southern workers settled north to help the war effort – despite a lack of available homes. Detroit boasted it could "bury Hitler", but couldn't even house its own workers.
To accommodate the influx, the city built a housing project named after abolitionist and civil rights pioneer Sojourner Truth. Many whites opposed both the name and the purpose of the project, attempting to block black families from moving in on several violent occasions. Federal housing authorities eventually rallied the National Guard to move-in and protect black residents at Sojourner Truth.
Sign in respnose to Sojourner Truth housing project: Wikipedia commons.
White supremacists escalated tactics of blockading people of color from their homes. Burning crosses were employed along with armed picket lines.
Just weeks before the 1943 riots, the Packard Company promoted and integrated three black men to work on the assembly line. Despite being during a time of war, a staggering 25,000 white workers walked off the job in protest.
Then, on June 20, 1943 a white sailor on Belle Isle claimed a black man insulted his girlfriend, inciting a brawl that spread to the city, and then grew some more. Unrest spread throughout the night and into the early morning amid false rumors of even worse violence. White mobs attacked black bars as patrons left to go home, pulling them out of vehicles.
A mob drags a man from a Detroit streetcar during the riot.
Black owned businesses were lit afire, focused especially in the Paradise Valley district, one of Detroit's oldest. Further north just off of Woodward, cars were overturned and incinerated by white men.
One such location was outside Ransom Gillis.
It's unclear when exactly the below photo surfaced. Apparently there's been debate as to whether Ransom Gillis actually suffered damage during the 1943 riots.
63Alfred.com seems confident the surrounding smoke and fire must have caused damage of some kind, as white mobs lit cars ablaze and were dispersed by National Guard tear gas, both visible above.
Below is an almost 180° reverse image of the intersection, taken just moments earlier, along with a current Google street view angle for comparison. In the first image, Ransom Gillis is just out of frame to the left, with an adjacent awning protruding into the shot.
The striped awning at right in the image above occupies the center of frame below.
The same intersection, 72 years later.
By many accounts, this area of Brush Park was already an overcrowded slum by WWII, where demand for jobs and housing exacerbated racial hostilities. Scapegoating of ethnic minorities for economic disparity has hardly changed today.
Nationally, current events have seen white supremacist mob behavior to still be common.
What also hasn't changed, especially in Detroit, are the hurdles between many communities of color and secure housing and employment stability. It's estimated for black families – who comprise 82% of Detroit's population – the true unemployment rate is over 40%. Meanwhile, the mortgage and tax foreclosure crisis has not ended, and continues to drive blight and population loss.
In 1943 a war economy dominated by white workers sought to include black people only at the margins. Today, a real estate economy seems to be moving in the same direction, with wealthier white entrepreneurs re-populating the city as rents begin to rise.
As refurbishment and development ramps up, exactly how neighborhoods around Ransom Gillis are shaped remains to be seen. With luck, knowledge of historic memory will inform better policies tomorrow.

These tri-color faux patent leather T-strap sandals feature a buckled ankle strap. Rubber sole.
I read the sizing reviews for these before I ordered and I'm glad I did as they fit perfect!!
I just received them today and I am freakin excited! definitely will wear this summer. fitting is just right. material doesnt look cheap at all. absolutely love them. it is a must buy. seriously, it is affordable, what more can you ask for?!
These sandals are great. The multicolor goes with so many of my outfits. They were great walking sandals. The only thing was the heel of the sandal was so high on the back of my ankle and so stiff, that it dug into the top of my heel and dug into my skin. I'm going to put moleskin there to see if i can avoid this the next time I wear it.
The shoes are very cute! I'm usually a 6.5, and the size 6 fit fine. The back chafes at my heel a little bit, but hopefully as the shoes break in that will stop.
I love the trio of colors (I ordered the style in teal, orange, and darkish yellow). They look great with denim in a dark wash. Consider ordering a half size down.
I love this shoe. I've recently had knee reconstructive surgery so am not able to wear my heels for a year. Have been buying flat sandals from shopbop to match my wardrobe and have had so many comments on these shoes. Perfect size, really comfortable and goes with most of my wardrobe.
The colors are beautiful and easy to wear with everything. However, the shoes do run large. My feet keep sliding forward while walking which is a bit uncomfortable.
These sandals are SO cute. But I sent them back because they are SO stiff, I knew they'd end up cutting into my heel and toes. Oh well.


The interest shown by both multinational and Romanian companies to situate their headquarters in modern office buildings in the central areas of Bucharest has lowered the availability rate for class A office space to 0.02% - an all-time low, according to the real estate consulting company Colliers International, Ziarul Financiar reports.
In other words, out of a finalized stock of offices with a surface of 545,000 square meters, registered at the end of the first half of the year, only 109 square meters were available, equivalent to a three-room apartment.
This being the case, companies in the banking, IT and communications sectors - the main tenants of modern buildings - have to plan their expansion strategies a few months ahead, as over 50% of offices available at the end of this year have been rented in advance.
At the end of 2006, the rate of available buildings in the capital's main office areas stood at 1.5%.
The availability rate registered in Bucharest is probably the lowest among Europe's biggest cities, as there are many cities with an over 10% availability rate, such as Amsterdam and Munich, whilst in Moscow and Warsaw, the rate stands at 4%, according to the Jones Lang LaSalle real estate consulting company.
Rents have continued to go up, a trend that will maintain for another two years, according to consultants on the market, which has resulted in contracts signed at 20 euros/ sqm/month or even higher for buildings such as Charles de Gaulle Plaza and America House. Among the already finalized office buildings with the highest rents in the capital are Bucharest Corporate Center, Millennium Business Center and Europe House, according to the real estate consulting company Eurisko.


"I like the way this looks," one said. "It's futuristic but it's old school. It's almost steampunk." "This is like Team Fortress 2," another remarked. "Dude, shut up, this was made like 20 years before Team Fortress 2," said the kid next to him. "This is, like, every science fiction movie ever made," another said, as Ripley operated the power loader for the first time.
I love works of culture that bisect their genre. There were symphonies before Beethoven, and symphonies after Beethoven. There were comedies before Animal House and comedies after Animal House. For action and sci-fi action movies, there were movies before Die Hard and Aliens, and there are movies after.
In all of these cases, the pieces after are a wholly better ballgame because the piece bisecting the genre changed it so completely.

6And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
8And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. 10And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger." 13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!"
15When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us." 16And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. 17And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. 18And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. 19But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. 20And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.
