Is boasting Balahsab and challenge the lineages , boasting in affiliation to the tribe or nation or nationality , race or party , and other affiliations narrow , coupled with the partisanship of ignorance , and logos that lead to the band and breaking the bonds of brotherhood , and the creation of bickering and hatred , and this pathological phenomenon has reached to the fullest extent in full swing , it has become a gateway effective enemies facilitate them implement their plans and projects in tyranny on our Islamic nation , has raised the slogan ( chaos ), which exploits through all the ways to divide the nation , either ideologically or ethnically or partisan or tribal or regionally , and the door advice and to clarify the facts wrote this article through our magazine favorites ( Forum magazine ) .
Definition of nerve :

And I only Gauze Gott *** The Goat though guide Gauze Arshad
5 - stratification of society.
6 - the reproach of others in their creation and their forms .
Sharia rule in the nerve :
Advocacy of the clan or tribe or group or party to injustice is forbidden, it is forbidden to the Koran for cooperating in sin and aggression , and ordered to cooperate in righteousness and piety, he said, says of : { virtue, righteousness and piety and do not cooperate in sin and aggression } [table: 2 .
And pretended to talk on the Prevention of nervousness in all its forms and manifestations : the nerve of the tribe or race or of the Earth, said the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him : « not one of us who called for the nervous, and not one of us who fought on the neurological » (3) .
Al-Bukhari narrated from Jabir is brought : « What pal suit people of ignorance ? ! Then he said : What is their business ? Peixah migrants told Al-Ansari said: they called it malicious , then he said the killing of Abdullah ibn Abi : people do not talk that he was killing his companions » ; Allah revealed : { Hold on to God and be not divided among yourselves } [ Al-Imran: 103 ] (4) .
And Ibn Masood is brought : « not one of us from slapping their cheeks , rending , and called on the pretext of ignorance » (5) .
The nerve of the tribe, and supporting it was unjust or wronged prevalent in the Arabian Peninsula before Islam , Vibtalha Islam , and the campus of nervousness, Altnasser injustice .
The news came in from Anas bin Malik , the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him , he said: « Support your brother right or wrong , a man said : O Messenger of Allah ! Onzareth if oppressed , what about if it was unfair how Onzareth ? He said: Thdzh or prevent him from injustice , this victory » (6) .

It also invalidated Islam boasting parents and the exploits of the ancestors , the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him : « to Anthen folks are proud of their parents who have died , but they Coal hell , or There will be among the lesser of the God of the scarab , which Adhdh Khere his nose , that God may go you Abyei ignorance , but is unlocked pious and bawdy naughty , people all sons of Adam and Adam was created from dust » (
And to make Islam the basis of differentiation of piety and good deeds in the download : { O people, I have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes so that the sight of God } [rooms : 13 ] , between God in verse purpose of making people into nations and tribes , the acquaintance and cooperation , No rivalry and strife , Valasbah forms of tribe or race or color are incompatible with Islam [ interpretation Khazen in the interpretation of the verse 13 of Surah closets .
Reasons difficult :
There is no doubt that behind all the smoke of a fire , and each disease medicine ; If you have been diagnosed with the disease and identify the causes easy for us to prescribe medication , he put a hand on the reasons are half through treatment , as they say , is the most important reasons for this bigotry hated as follows:
1 - To achieve personal goals and interests of the mundane : That person will not be seen to the right and the wrong , nor to the right and wrong , but it is a victory to the direction in which belonged to him and Itasb him in order to achieve its objectives and interests , apart from the issue of right and wrong , and away from the correct path and self-criticism and Calendar psychological ; because this is not the biggest main concern , and perhaps expressed interest so sometimes shows the extent of his dedication to the work , and will the good of what belonged to him by the doctrine or tribe , but all this does not soon to appear with obstacles , and soon disappears with the tribulations that are tested by her family .
2 - follow the persons and entities , and non-compliance to the right based on evidence : it is followed by a party or a group or tribe and see that it does not go wrong at work, or get lost in the opinion Itasb her fanatical severe, and holds a relentless campaign on trying to critique or correcting its course .
Even if it was their children , as well as if documented in the science world , and the wisdom of his mind , and his understanding of the text and legitimate perception of reality practical ; he felt that he does not speak of passion , not Lefty , but in truth, neither say except the truth , is not located him imprecision in word or action , nor shall it an error in judgment or fatwa , nor think it paracusia of opinion or perception, and then not being what it is on humans , while it did not exist throughout history body or institution or group, but her flaws and failures .
That description of the Son Jawziyyah scholars , justice and the premium of being : " Zahidin in intolerance for men , standing with the argument and reasoning , marching with the right Where goes Rkaúbh , and driving with right where I resigned Speculation , if it appears to them the directory Bokhzth flew him in droves , and if he called the Apostle to the volunteered output is fanatical about a clique of scientists do not ask him what it said proof "(9) .
3 - Higher ratios : Being a God of creation with high rates is not valid at all be a matter of pride and intolerance and make a class in the community and find a band .
4 - ignorance balance legitimate differentiation : some differentiation makes the balance of ethnicity or tribal or save money in the hands or the beauty of the body or physical strength, or the large number of followers.
5 - hearing Mrgevin and hypocrites : Their role does not deny in raising partisanship and make a band, Jews Gazam the end of the band that existed between the Aws and Khazraj in the era of the Prophet peace be upon him , resorted Shas bin Qais Jewish while attended the council sat the Ansar said : spoke to me who was the victor in Yom Avat ? Said a man from ous : We won on our brothers Khazraj , replied Khazraji , Vachtd dispute even got dating to the war in tomorrow Vadrkhm Prophet peace be upon him and reminded them what they became to him by the intimacy and love ; Vtaanqgua and ended up in peace , and today there are claims of chaos creative , and fragmentation fragmented and cause division.
6 - feeling the shortage : Some has a feeling of inferiority , seeks to complete proceedings neurological and Banasrp even though vanities made false glory occurs fanatical band in the nation.
7 - the tradition of parents and grandparents : Appeared in mores previous several partisanship , and a lot of the employees of those tribes or clans born in this environment, the bad , and suckle from their milk , and if you thought some of it has something of awareness to change this advise whether or not appeasement of what is happening hysterical ignorance finds steel and condemnation . I am not advocating surrender or bow , but I liked the description of reality as it is . This is a fundamental reason should not be overlooked .
8 - agitating some leaders of some of the responsible authorities believe his leadership in the tribe or clan even keep his control or control of others under the slogan : ( divide and rule ) .
Neurological effects on the individual and society :
1 - falling into hatred and rancor : hatred and Altdibr and envy and hatred which would be in effect between the sons of the Islamic nation as a result of this Almrashqat , as a result of that partisanship , which is signed in violation of the agreed texts , such as Bukhari and Muslim from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah him and said : « Beware of conjecture ; probably lie to the talk , and do not spy nor Thssoa not competed Thasdoa not Tbagadwa not Tdabroa , and be servants of Allah brothers » (10) .
2 - the rhythm of weakness and disintegration in the body of the Islamic nation : What sign are also in violation of explicit provisions agreed not notably what Bukhari and Muslim in Saheehs Nu'man bin Bashir said: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him : « The believers in their mutual love , mercy and compassion If you like the body member complained to falter, the rest of the body to ensure a fever » (11) .
3 - to retreat on the issues of self- micro inside , and the neglect of the crucial issues that relate to the major by the nation and its future ; small gatherings because of how busy the victory of each other , forgetting or forgetting the threats to the nation that they had to come together to win for them , and what the most .
4 - greed Nations in the Nation of Islam ; they have become a weak nation body flaccid architecture is not a body strong , nor edifying Mrsossa , and then a pet spin them; Because divine laws current does not favor anyone ; nation strong that takes the reasons for the strength and victory and unity Anasrha God even if the infidel whore , and the nation that ignores the reasons for the weak force and the victory of God turn her down , even if they are locked pious .
5 - from the serious effects of the intervention on the Hereafter Muslim devastation and doom : Earn disadvantages that accrue from Muslim and in hindsight show belongs to his brother, who is his doctrine and his Balhmz and innuendo , and gossip, backbiting and derision .
1 - leave the pride of Higher proportions : from Abu bin heel is brought : « Two men belonged at the time of the Messenger of Allah said, one of them : I 'm so and so so and so it is not you or you? »
He said: Two men belonged at the time of Moses, peace be upon him , said one of them : I 'm so and so so and so until it is counted nine or you do not you? He said: I 'm so and so so and so , the son of Islam , he said: God revealed to Moses that the two associate : But you, O belonging to or affiliated with nine in the fire you had intercourse , either you dear affiliated with the two third was in paradise , you are in heaven » (12 ) .
Abu Hurayrah is brought : « It is slower do not speed up its lineage » (13) .
2 - Know the balance of legitimate differentiation : the sight of God . Umar said: The peace be upon him : «God raises this Quran puts some people do others » (14) .
And Ibn Umar said: The peace be upon him : « O people ! God has a flaw you go to grow in scale and ignorance Babaúha , people , two men Barr pious man cream on God , and bawdy naughty Hin on God , the sons of Adam and the people , and God created Adam from dust » (15) .
Abu Huraira increased in the novel where : « Idan men to their pride , but they Boqguam coal from coal hell , or to listen to them on the lesser God of scarabs that pay stinking nose » (16) .
Dear student pride proportions *** The people mother and father
Do you see them created from silver *** or iron or copper or gold
Or see the virtue in their creation *** Are you only flesh and bone and sinew
But thanks dream Rajah *** ethic and Cram and Literature
Luxury that of men by *** es of Luxury and defeated them
Another said :
The Bfal were not lofty *** yourself you did not Wigan Highness of it transcends
Not old to new Brasza *** that did not find him taking his share
Another said :
Not those who desecrate the holy *** display and see who went on to be Mruth
Even pays tribute to its construction and the built *** adorns get lost in favor of including what came
Another said :
Be the son of desired and gained literature *** independent of means welcome ratios
If Fajrt fathers honor them ratified *** Yes , but what they were born evil
3 - Do not listen to Almrgevin and hypocrites , and get rid of the tradition of parents and grandparents .
4 - a lot of good deeds and actions rather than call for a serious nervous to address the sense of derogation by others .
5 - I do not mind a sense of belonging to the tribe , but this feeling is not Stationeries win her even vanities but to be a victory to be right ; Because the victory vanities mean the loss of the right to , and awareness of ignorance and back again , and also means injustice investigator to others what is happening in themselves need vengeance , which opens the way for mutual feuds and revenge , and so forth .
And Ibn Masood said peace be upon him : « such as who appoints his people on the right is like a camel to tell him dragging his guilt » . In the novel : « victory to his people is right , it is the deterioration of Kalpaar which tends guilty » (17) .
6 - must cancel the class and their effects , which bequeathed a nation divided , and an imbalance in the structure of society , it is known that this phenomenon we've got sick of boredom other than Albarhamip Indian and the like , should not be survival in Muslim countries .
7 - resorting to the law of God in all the affairs of life and satisfaction by his absolute and delivery , and the rejection of all customs and traditions that are contrary to the law even close the door on all claims of nervousness.
8 - the need to deny the appeal and pride Balahsab in genealogy :
Abu Musa said, peace be upon him : « four remained in my ignorance of the command are not Patarrkiha : Balahsab pride , and challenge the lineages , and ascites stars and wailing for the dead » (18) .
Salman and said peace be upon him is brought : « three of ignorance : Balahsab pride , and challenge the genealogical and wailing » (19) .
9 - and the leadership of political parties and tribal leaders not to inflame the tribes and leave the raising of partisanship , and Nusihm the following:
- Non- participation in acts contrary to the initiated.
- Inviting them to Islamic unity and not under the banner of tribalism.
- Fatality calls , including ignorance , and instill the proper balance of differentiation .
- Inviting them to submit to the law of God and knew all usually .

I bought these recently as they were reasonably priced and also in fairly good condition especially the 1940 item. Most specimens available tend to be well worn with use.
They were engraved and printed by Blades, East & Blades of London who were also responsible for the production of the early stamps of North Borneo.
The signatories were W A C Smelt, the currency commissioner and H J R Beckett, the financial controller. Herbert James Rust Beckett was born on 16 November 1885. He arrived in North Borneo in 1911 and was soon appointed District Treasurer at Kudat and 2 years later also qualified as a first class magistrate. He held many posts in the customs and excise as well as the auditing departments. He became the Financial Controller by 1929 and finally the Controller of the State Bank of North Borneo in 1939.
WAC Smelt National ArchivesCaptain William Anthony Casterton Smelt born 29 September 1895 was appointed District Treasurer at Sandakan in March 1925 and assumed his duties on arriving in North Borneo in May 1925.

The game's single-player campaign focuses on the terrans, but you can play multiplayer matches as any of the three StarCraft II races: the terrans, the protoss, or the zerg.Each race has access to unique units; these units fill specific roles on the battlefield. Combining different units to form versatile armies is one path to victory.The most basic units at your command are your workers. They harvest the resources you need to expand your base and to add more units to your growing army, and your workers also create new buildings. More advanced units become available once your base meets certain requirements, such as having constructed certain buildings or researched certain technologies.In multiplayer matches, you win the game when you've wiped all your enemy's buildings off the map or if the other players surrender to you.

So late last night after a long attempt at sleep, I finally cozied up in bed with my pj's on, my teddy bear in my lap (shaddup), my covers pulled up high, and decided to get a movie On Demand. That being said I wanted something more on the dramatic side, seeing as I was pissy from the lack of sleep and was in no mood for laughter. I see About Schmidt listed, and think to myself, "Self, this is a good choice, Nicholson, Bates, how could we go wrong?" I later choked and regurgitated my words.
This was hands down one of the most boring flicks I've seen in the last year. WTF were these people doing?!?!?! By the end of the movie I was thinking, "Why did I watch this movie again?" Then I proceeded to kick my own ass for believing the reviews and getting the movie on merit. I should have learned after 'The Life of David Gale' got horrible reviews, and that was one of the most moving flicks I've seen to date...oh yeah Fuck you, Ebert.
First we'll start with the actress who portrayed Schmidt's daughter...played by Hope Davis. I don't remember if there has been a more contrite, masogonistic waste of space whore, as the character she portrayed, Jeannie Schmidt. Bitch doesn't even begin to describe 'Jeannie'. There is one scene in particular ~SPOILER ALERT~ where Schmidt is on the road, driving to see Jeannie for her wedding....roadtripping it from Omaha to Denver. He plans to surprise her, and calls her halfway through to let her know he's on the way, and she responds with a hearty FUCK NO...well ok she said something to the effect of...."ummmm uhhhhhh ummmmmm not such a good plan, pa." GAHHHH! At this point in the movie I was wishing my T. Bear was made of lead so I could crash it through the TV screen and obliterate this whiney cunt.
Moving on to Kathy Bates. By far, she was the ONE redeeming factor in this flick for me. She was crass, and rude, and I lovied her! Her character Roberta was the mother of Schmidt's future son-in-law. I really have nothing bad to say bout her performance, and I give Ms. Bates serious props for dropping trou and showing the world her naughty bits. I love me a ballsy chica!
Schmidt. Warren Schmidt. UGHGHGHGHGHGHGHHGHGHG!!!! Let me preface this rant by saying that Jack Nicholson is one of my fave actors...he's brilliant in my opinion, but I'm pretty sure when he received this script he had forgotten to pay his brain bill. I can think of no other reason why he woulda taken such vapid crap. The character of Schmidt has no depth whatsoever. At all. None. Zilch. Zippo....you get the idea. His character reminded me of a confused six year old with absolutely no concept of how the real world works. Jacky, how you gonna play me like this!
I won't even go into how Dermot Mulroony had grey hair and made me feel older than Moses, or how through the entire movie I kept asking myself....heyyyyy is the priest that judge from Night Court?
Avoid this movie like the plague...if you choose to see it anyway, consider yourself warned.

Depending on the time of year, we organise excursions around Majorca, including trips to local fiestas and other events such as the impressive Easter procession and firework display.
Our most popular weekly trips include:
Other non-exclusive weekly trips take in the island's most spectacular landmarks and attractions, including Formentor, Sineu and the Caves of Drac.
Majorca is also home to many good golf courses, most with 18 holes. This includes Camp de Mar, which is regarded by golfers as tough but rewarding. Winter, spring and autumn are said to be the best golfing seasons.
Heading east along the coast, there are many fashionable stop-offs, not least Puerto Portals, with its exclusive marina, and rows of restaurants and coffee shops. In terms of family attractions, nearby Marineland is home to dolphins, sea lions, exotic birds and a tropical aquarium.
Or if you prefer to be in the water yourself, the Western water parks just down the road in Magaluf. Afterwards, why not enjoy a burger served up with some superb acrobatic feats at the Pirates show?
Palma's well-preserved historical centre is dominated by the magnificent French-Gothic cathedral and the Almudaina Arabic palace, which was originally a Moorish citadel and now houses a museum and royal treasures.
The 121m-long cathedral is constructed of gold limestone from the quarries of Santanyi, in the south east of the island. It is home to nine massive bells, the largest of which is N'Eloi, weighing in at 5,700kg.
The Palau March Museum is situated close to the cathedral and the Almudaina Palace. Exhibitions include contemporary collections containing works by artists such as Rodin, Chillida and Henry Moore, as well as a set of lithographs by Salvador Dali.
Along with a spectacular harbour and yacht marina, the capital city also has many excellent restaurants and bars, and a number of other museums, from modern art to local history. These include the Es Baluard Museu d'Art Modern i Contemporani and, just outside Palma, the house where Joan Miró spent the last decades of his life.
Inland, there are many lovely villages that have hardly changed over the centuries, such as Galilea and Puigpunyent. Other places worth visiting include the many monasteries, such as the one found in Lluc, from which there are also a number of hiking paths.
Towns include Valldemossa, a picturesque mountain village with a famous monastery, defined by Frederic Chopin as 'the most beautiful place on earth'. Alternatively, take the narrow-gauge railway across the dramatic Serra de Tramuntana from Palma to Sóller. From there, you can then take the tram to Puerto de Sóller.
There's a whole host of walking possibilities across Majorca, from the start of the GR 221 in nearby Port d'Andratx for serious hikers, to La Reserva Puig De Galatzó, which is located a short drive north of Camp de Mar.
The nature reserve is an ideal spot for a stroll and a picnic, and is situated at the foot of the Galatzó mountain. The park's the only one of its kind in Majorca, covering an area of more than 2.5 million square metres.
La Reserva de Biniorella is part of the Holiday Property Bond's growing portfolio of outstanding holiday properties throughout the UK and Europe, imaginatively created over 32 years to combine "home from home" comfort with total relaxation. Currently the portfolio features 35 holiday developments, all in stunningly beautiful locations across 13 countries, with over 1,400 individual villas, apartments and cottages.

Recently I was challenged by Expedia to step out my culinary comfort zone and to choose a menu we could have over the festive season but the condition is it must be one from another country.
Now this world on a plate challenge got me thinking at just how restrictive our meals have become while I have been pregnant and in part that has been down to my lacking enthusiasm in the kitchen.
Those folks that know me personally will know I do love a challenge and so I decided to go with a French theme to my menu as I would love to travel to France on Holiday as I the last time I was there I was 15 and didn't experience half as much as I would love to right now.
There are several recipes I have been looking at trying and adapting to the needs of my picky husband that I think would also make fantastic festive meals as they can be eaten anytime and are not to complex to make.
Firstly I decided to go with a French style Chicken with Peas and Bacon as a main as all but 2 of the ingredients my husband couldn't tolerate to so the question was … Would he notice the spring onions and Crème fraîche? in amongst the chicken stock, chicken, bacon, peas and little gem lettuce.
To go with the main I decided to cook Pommes Anna as I know these are really easy to make and make a nice change from mash!
Although you really need to slice the potatoes to about 1mm thick I don't have a mandolin so I just had to make do!
For pudding the one thing I adore from the French cuisine is the French Apple Tart … so having never made one before it was time to have ago myself!
I expected to fail dismally at this pudding since I am never much good at making things look pretty and it seems that maybe French cuisine is my thing after all as even I was impressed at not only what it looked like but also how it tasted!
This was by far my most favourite part of the French cuisine for the World On A Plate Challenge. I loved it so much I have plans to make another!
Over the next few weeks I will be putting up full recipe details for each of these dishes so you could have a go yourself!
Thanks for the challenge Expedia.

Last September, Fall Line Fest made its grand debut in Richmond with a weekend full of great music, art, and food. The only thing missing that first year though was that big name that would get everyone absolutely buzzing. This year, the powers that be have rectified that problem by landing The Hold Steady as a headliner. One of the most critically acclaimed bands of the past fifteen years, the Brooklyn-based band has been going strong for over a decade now and shows absolutely no signs of slowing down. With the release of Teeth Dreams, their sixth and most ambitious album to date, the band has proven that even as they approach middle age, they still have a lot left to offer the music world.
For Fall Line Fest, having The Hold Steady is definitely a huge feather in their cap. The wealth of the band's catalogue, coupled with their reputation for breathtaking performances, means Richmond is in for one of the best shows of the year. Craig Finn, the band's loquacious frontman, recently sat down with us to talk about… well, pretty much everything going on with him these days.
Now, you've famously played in all fifty states. Do you remember the first time you played in Richmond?
I believe that it would be with the Drive-By Truckers. No, wait. It was Art Brut, on the Boys & Girls In America tour at Toad's Place [on November 19th, 2007]. That was the first show we played. We also played The NorVa in Norfolk for Stay Positive, and then we've done Charlottesville and Virginia Beach. I think that's all of Virginia we've done. We actually have some good friends who live in Charlottesville and we had a day off from touring there a few weeks ago, so we were able to hang out with them for a while. We also just toured with Tim Barry of Avail from Richmond, so now we have another friend from the area. Virginia's nice, but the bus is moving so quick that we usually don't get as much time to look around as we want to.
You talked about visiting friends. How important is it for you to be able to do that while you're on the road?
Oh, I think it's very important. I do. I think it's healthy. For me, I think it's nice to connect with people outside of the tour. Old friends, you know? I think it's grounding in some way. I always try if I can to squeeze in dinner with a friend or some time to hang away from the venue. I think it's kind of helpful from a mental state when you're doing all the travelling we do, so you don't go crazy.
Now, you're going to be headlining Fall Line Fest in Richmond this September. You guys are veterans of the festival circuit by this point, so what are some of your favorite festivals to play at?
Well, we just did one in Atlanta called Shaky Knees that was excellent, but I'm a real big fan of Lollapalooza in Chicago. I tend to like the ones that you don't have to get out to the middle of nowhere for. I feel like there's a comfort in being able to see the festival, but then going to your hotel, rather than ones that are more removed from the city. I just like the ones in or near a city better. A lot of them are going to be determined by the artists, though. Another one that is great actually is in the Gorge in Washington, called Sasquatch! Festival. That's probably the most beautiful setting we've ever played.
I know a lot of other artists sometimes complain about their set times at festivals since they end up missing artists they really want to see. Do you remember the last time this happened to you?
Oh, of course. My good friends Trampled By Turtles, who are from Minneapolis, were playing at the exact same time as us in Atlanta at Shaky Knees Festival. There's only a few stages, and we were on at the same time. It happens all the time, you know? Either someone you know or someone you want to see, you just don't because of that. There's been countless acts I've missed that I would have just as soon wanted to watch. It is cool because you do run into a lot of artists at catering, so there can be a big family reunion feeling to those things. I did get to catch Violent Femmes at Shaky Knees though, and that was something I was really excited to see. The first kind of club concert I ever went to was the Violent Femmes and they were playing right after us in Atlanta. It was just really cool to see, especially after all these years.
So talk to me about the genesis of Teeth Dreams.
Well, we'd been writing to make a record for a while. We were just writing and writing and writing. At some point, we just lost sight of whether we had it or not and we ended up questioning ourselves a lot. We found ourselves writing a lot of songs; far more than we needed to. At one point, the producer came in and said, "Guys, you're absolutely ready to make this record. Let's do it." From there, it just happened pretty quickly. We were writing for quite a while though. There were four years between Teeth Dreams and Heaven Is Whenever, which is a ton for us because we did five records in our first seven years before that. It was a sprawling effort, and then we just kind of pared it down and made the record at the end.
In that four years between this album and the last, you released your solo album, Clear Heart Full Eyes. How did making that record influence this one?
The main thing that it did was allow me to be quiet. The solo record was a little quieter and felt a little different. It got something out of my system and I was very excited to do something that was more based on the storytelling and quiet aesthetic. It allowed me to come back to The Hold Steady and be really excited to make a big, loud record. I think we made our biggest and loudest record this time out, even though it's our sixth record and I'm 42 years old. I'm kind of proud ourselves in that regard. At a certain age, I think people just expect you to bring in the mandolin and a string section, and we just did the opposite.
Did that loud rock sound come naturally or was it something you guys actively tried to achieve?
I think it naturally happened. We had been touring with Steve Selvidge on guitar after the last record, but this was the first record we wrote and recorded with him. The double guitar attack is a big, defining part of this record and its sound, so I think in some ways it's because of that. I also think Nick Raskulinecz, the producer, is known for making big, rock records.
So where did the album's title come from?
Well, teeth dreams are anxiety. You know, dreams where your teeth are falling out, which are dreams supposedly about money woes or lack of confidence. I was asking myself a question a lot: "Do we live in anxious times, or is anxiety just part of the human condition?" I kept thinking about all of these things and I met a doctor who said that over half of his patients as a general practitioner come in for anxiety. That's the most common thing people enter his office for. There was a recent New York Times column on anxiety too. So do we live in particularly anxious times or are we just more aware of it? In the latter case, are we nurturing it?
Get an answer?
Ehhhhh, I would say it requires further rumination. A lot of the songs, because they write the music first, seemed tense and claustrophobic, so I kind of wanted to dive into that theme of anxiety, for better or worse. But I don't think I answered it.
You've always had a wide range of influences for your work. What were you listening to this time around?
Mostly guitar rock, like Thin Lizzy and The Replacements, who were my favorite band. Led Zeppelin too. You know, good, hard rock. We were listening to a lot of records when we were making the record, like Zeppelin and Rush, a fair amount in the studio. Just pure guitar rock from our youth. It really helped shape what we wanted to do.
Now, you were one of the first names in rock music to openly credit hip hop as an influence. Is hip hop still an influence to you today?
Lyrically, of course. I think there's just something about hip hop. Obviously, the lyrics are very, very important and they tell a story usually or at least comment on a story. There's also this sort of competitive nature to it. [Rappers] want to be the best, and they want their lyrics to be the most inventive and creative. I don't write any music in The Hold Steady, so I'm solely the lyricist, and I just relate in that way.
Competitiveness used to run in rock music like it did in hip hop music. Bands like The Beatles and The Beach Boys were always trying to one up the other one. Do you think this is missing from rock music today?
It's hard to say or even know. I certainly don't feel it's the same at all, though. I think it's more because of the way radio is now and singles are released. You couldn't have this dialogue going back and forth as easily as The Rolling Stones and The Beatles did. I think everyone on their own level is privately competitive though. Artists still push themselves to want to be the best they can be. It probably isn't as much fun for the media that that back and forth doesn't exist as much.
Any acts like there you're competitive with?
Yeah. I don't know if I'd explain it exactly like that, but the Drive-By Truckers were a band that really influenced us when we started The Hold Steady. Then we ended up becoming friends with them and playing shows with them. We actually have some coming up. They are a big influence, but also some kind of peer, I feel. I'm still a big fan though, and I'll get just about anything they release.
Any thoughts to some collaborations with Drive-By Truckers mastermind Patterson Hood then?
I haven't, you know? I did an acoustic tour with Patterson and Will Johnson over in Europe, which was a lot of fun. The band keeps us all pretty busy though, and there's plenty of music around there. I hope to be very busy with The Hold Steady all year so I haven't really thought much outside of that.
Wrapping up on a different topic. The Hold Steady is a great band name, but have you ever thought of any cool names since you formed the band?
At the bar, I think I'm always coming up with band names, but I never remember. There's nothing that stuck with me that I liked better than The Hold Steady. I think all people into music, especially in bands, are constantly coming up with cool or quirky band names. My friend has this sort of game of making fake jam bands. The one I came up with was Lush Vegetation. That's my fantasy jam band, which I'm sure someone will steal now. But we're always coming up with things like that.
What's the last cool band name you heard?
You know, I'm really partial to The Donkeys. They aren't really a new band, but I really like them and the name. There's a lot of simplicity to that band name that I really dig. It's super obvious, but it's also that a donkey is a fantastic image for a band.
Well, thanks for your time. We here in Richmond are definitely looking forward to seeing you in Richmond this September for Fall Line Fest.
Me too! I heard it's a great festival so I'm really excited. Hopefully I can catch some acts or maybe an art show or food panel.
The Hold Steady will be performing as part of Fall Line Fest at The National on Friday, September 5. To purchase tickets for Fall Line Fest, click here.

CNAs are a part of the healthcare team made to assist nurses and doctors in their day-to-day responsibilities. They are considered unsung heroes given that they don't usually get noticed much. But actually, they are the individuals making direct touch with patients; getting their vital signs, helping them wash up and change, and perhaps share stories together. Maybe you have the heart that can touch base and encourage patients, but that is really insufficient. Besides good mindset, a CNA license is the final requirement to be in this occupation.
Obtaining a license requires a lot of qualifications. Firstly, you have to earn your secondary school diploma or its equivalent, as this is a pre-requisite document required for your training. So how exactly does this CNA training succeed? It is basically a course that helps you improve your nursing competencies, starting from theories to hands-on application. You should be able to finish the training within the number of hours set by your state. No less than 75 training hours is set in California specifically.
Upon finishing of the training course, the last challenge you have to face is the certification exam. The exam tests the aspirant's capability to understand concepts (known to be multiple-choice) and use them in their career as Certified nursing assistant (hands-on assessment). Should you successfully succeed at this licensing examination, you will officially enlist with the medical team, serving as an extra set of hands to relieve some hospital responsibilities.
Over time, people grow older and people get sick; thus you won't need to worry about getting a job in the health care industry. That is why a career in the medical industry is not affected even by tough economy. Research shows that San Francisco is the top recruiter of CNAs. So if you want to grab this opportunity, starting a career these days is the best move. Tangible and intangible rewards are all in this job, and it can't get any better than that.Author: Paula Shelton

1) Dengvaxia Powder and Solvent for Suspension for Injection
(Single dose) – MAL16105045ARZ
2) Dengvaxia MD Powder and Solvent for Suspension for Injection
(Multidose) – MAL16105046ARZ
The Drug Control Authority (DCA) has decided to register Sanofi Pasteur's dengue vaccine, Dengvaxiaat it's meetings in Putrajaya on 31st October 2016 and 25th November 2016. Dengvaxia was approved by DCA only for post-registration (Phase IV) study in Malaysia. It is a conditional registration for two (2) years.
The specific registration conditions imposed on Dengvaxia are as follows:
1. Dengvaxia is approved by DCA only for post-registration (Phase IV) study in Malaysia. This conditional registration is for two years. If the study fails to verify the clinical benefit or are not conducted with due diligence, DCA may withdraw this approval.
2. Sanofi Pasteur will commit to conduct a joint study with the Ministry of Health (MOH), Malaysia to assess vaccine effectiveness and safety. The study details will be further discussed by both parties.
3. The post-registration study design, safety monitoring system and other related conditions will be jointly developed by MOH and Sanofi Pasteur.
4. All vaccinees must bear the cost of vaccination. Subjects that pass study entry screening (e.g. not pregnant nor breastfeeding) and have given informed consent will be enrolled into the study.
5. During the conduct of this study, any emerging safety signals must be reported to the DCA without delay for further regulatory decisions.
6. The interim study reports must be promptly submitted to the DCA until the full closure of the study. The final study report must then be submitted to the DCA.
7. Sanofi Pasteur will commit to support the MOH in the public education programme about the approved indication and concerns of the dengue vaccine.
Frequently Asked Question ( FAQ )
What is registered?
What are the conditions of registration?
Why is this a conditional registration?
Although the vaccine confers protection regardless of previous exposure to dengue, the major studies reported that DengvaxiaTM confers significantly better protection to vaccinees with prior dengue infection (81.9%), compared to those without previous dengue infection (52.5%). There is currently limited information on risks of DengvaxiaTM vaccination on adults without previous dengue infection, as the efficacy clinical studies were only conducted in children up to 16 years old.
The current evidence on the efficacy and safety of DengvaxiaTM comes from clinical studies involving over 40,000 human subjects, including two major studies in children aged 2-16 years living in dengue-endemic countries across Asia and Latin America. These major studies reported different vaccine efficacy in reducing dengue incidence, i.e. the vaccine is less effective in reducing dengue incidence caused by DEN1 (58.4%) and DEN2 (47.1%), compared to other strains, DEN3 (73.6%) and DEN4 (83.2%).
How will a conditional approval affect the availability of Dengvaxia?
The vaccine should be available in the healthcare facilities within the next 6 months.
Who can use Dengvaxia?
How to use Dengvaxia?
How can I get vaccinated against dengue?
What are the side effects of DengvaxiaTM?
Serious allergic reactions are very rare (may affect up to 1 in 10,000 people), after receiving any vaccine. The symptoms include difficulty in breathing, swelling of the face or throat, and low blood pressure causing dizziness or collapse. You must consult a doctor immediately if this occurs.
During DengvaxiaTM marketing in Malaysia, NPRA will monitor its use closely to ensure continued effectiveness and safety. Please inform your doctors or report any side effect to the National Centre for Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring by calling 03-78835550, or visiting http://npra.moh.gov.my/index.php/reporting-consumer

You may remember that we posted a few weeks ago about a Cantele "mystery wine."
We're happy to report that the mystery will soon be revealed.
This week, Cantele finally launched its new label Fanòi, a modern-style IGT Primitivo that's already getting rave reviews from those who have had the opportunity to taste it.
Cantele marketing director Paolo Cantele hasn't released any photos of the new bottle yet but he's been publishing a series of evocative images and lyrical texts for the occasion.
You can find them on the Cantele Vini Facebook, together with passages composed by Luisa Ruggio, one of the most exciting avant-garde writers in Italy today.
When does fire become an ember? When does a prayer become a whisper? When does an atmosphere become a wine? The circle of a magical winter in a borderland is a ring of flames that enchant whomever watches them. Like the intense reverberation that a glass of "Fanòi" unleashes together with its naked soul….
The winery still hasn't decided whether or not this small-production expression of Primitivo will be making its way to the U.S. But we're looking forward to tasting it at Vinitaly next month and reporting back. Stay tuned!

Eighteen-year-old Jade Reamer is a tough girl with a reputation to prove it. She loves three people and three people only: her brother, her boyfriend, and her best friend. Everyone else is irrelevant.
That is … until Reed enters the picture again.
Suddenly things start to spiral out of control and things aren't as they seem. Life is no longer simply black and white, love versus hate. Suddenly, it's hard to figure out which of those four letter words is true.
Especially when she can't look away from those devil eyes.
I love you. I hate you. I love you. I hate you. Which is it? I don't even know anymore.
Well, let's find out.
This 15,000 word novella contains coarse language, angst-driven young adults, and a lot of pent-up frustration.
Oh yeah. Plus love and a little bit of hate.
Life as a new author…
Hey all!
Today, Wednesday and Thursday there is a blitz of Those Four Letter Words! So over the next few days you will get TFLW-related posts 🙂 Right now you can enter the giveaway to win an ebook copy or bookmarks.
Read below for an excerpt of TFLW.
As soon as I woke up, I knew something was wrong. Something felt … off.
Lying on my back, I rubbed at the uncomfortable feeling in my chest I was experiencing, almost like indigestion. I touched my face and scowled, feeling the puffiness of my skin, then aggressively rubbed my eyes, as if that gesture alone would make the day before disappear. Sighing in defeat, I rolled my eyes at nothing in particular as I realized my life had resorted to chest pains and crying myself to sleep.
Groaning, I rolled out of bed and made my way to my dresser. I ignored the green-looking rock on the center of the dresser, and opened up the top drawer. I blindly picked out a pair of underwear and bra, then dragged myself to my closet, grabbing the first clothes I could find. I made my way sluggishly down the hallway toward the bathroom, not looking up. That was my mistake because I banged into a hard, naked chest and stumbled back.
Before my ass landed on the ground, hands roughly grabbed my elbows and prevented my misfortune; I balanced on the balls of my feet. Once I got my equilibrium back in check, I planted my feet and blinked up tiredly, only to see mocking green eyes greeting me.
"What are you doing here?" I couldn't hide the irritation in my voice as I frowned into his face. I wrenched my body away. My fatigue, the fight with Connor the day before, followed by his indiscretions, the weird feeling in my chest, and now bumping into the devil incarnate, was not the greatest start to my day.
I looked over his body and face and gave a hard swallow. He had gotten … bigger over the years; his muscles clearly bulged underneath his smooth skin. There was no hint of the baby face he used to have. It had been replaced by raw masculinity. Not to mention the dangerous vibe he emitted, his forearms newly decorated with tattoos—with dark brown hair, almost black, cut low, and silver dog tags around his neck.
"Good morning to you too, Sweet Cheeks," he said with a wink, his already deep voice roughened with sleep, his eyes raking my body intently. I shivered at the sound of his voice as he looked over me, then I glanced down at myself. I was only wearing a low tank top and booty shorts.
I ignored the fluttering in my stomach, rejected my reaction toward him, and scowled. I hugged my clothes with one hand to my chest and with the other stuck a middle finger in the air at him.
"Fuck off." Then I walked around him and marched right into the bathroom, slamming the door in his face, ignoring his low chuckle.
There was no way in hell I would have anything to do with him ever again. That ship had sailed years ago and I refused to get back on. I had enough to deal with Connor as it was.
Please tell me again why my brother had to be best friends with that asshole? With him and my current jerk of a boyfriend, life was really sucking.
Hmm, what is the relationship between Jade and this green-eyed devil? He really pulled out some strong emotions from her within mere seconds.
Well, you're going to have to wait and see 🙂

We all know that the panel of the TV makes or breaks the viewing experience. However, you'll be surprised by how many manufacturers miss out on this simple point and choose low-grade panels to cut costs. Thankfully, Vu is not one of them. The A+ grade panel not only offers excellent picture quality, but also cuts down on annoying reflections.
Don't you hate it when you just want to watch TV, but the poor audio quality doesn't let you enjoy the experience? Well, gone are those days. Vu's Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) technology ensures extremely fine audio quality. So, sit back, relax and enjoy watching TV without a worry in the world.
You're really spoilt for choice with this TV when it comes to connectivity options. Besides having a USB port that lets you plug in a pen-drive, you can also directly connect your laptop to the TV via an HDMI or VGA cable.
The problem with watching TV at night is that you have to keep the volume really low to not disturb your family's or flatmates' sleep. Well, just connect a pair of headphones to this TV and enjoy the experience in solitude without bothering anyone else.
This Vu TV is a sleek and stylish product that occupies very little space as it can be wall mounted or placed on a TV stand. Its slim line bezel give the panel a premium look.
Sound: 20 W, HDMI ports: 2, Number of speakers: 2, USB ports: 1, Built-in Wireless LAN: No, Display: 55-inch, 1920 x 1080.

I make no bones about it - the best Adwords campaigns are those that are managed in-house. I've worked on 200+ Adwords accounts and I have seen everything that is good and bad about outsourcing to Adwords Agencies or Consultants.
The good part: your account should be structured correctly and follow Adwords best practice.
The bad part: The distinct lack of knowledge about two crucial areas - your industry, your customers.
Every client I've worked alongside will have the following endorsement ringing in their ears:
You just don't necessarily know how to set up and make the most of the opportunities that Adwords can offer you.
I personally manage 6 Adwords accounts at any one time. I've learned as much as I possibly can from my clients about their market, their customers & their competitors. I'm still learning from them each and every day. I have to manage these accounts so that I maintain my knowledge and understanding of what works within Adwords. The total spend across these accounts is typically £200k+ a month.
I could probably manage 10-15 accounts. I'd probably earn an additional £100,000 a year doing that. But, I don't. Why? because I want my clients to manage their campaigns themselves with the knowledge and expertise that I can pass on to enable them to do just that.
My point is this - there's no quick win guarantee outsourcing to an external Adwords agency. Even if they do help you to build the structure for your account, long-term there's more in it for them then there is for you.
Adwords ISN'T rocket science. Neither is it an all-encompassing time-saturating affair. Not, when you know what you're doing.
My job... is to show you what you should be doing. I train the very agencies that are looking to win your business. Find out how I can help your business without the need to outsource to an Adwords agency:

A guest blog by Kathy Stevens
I never would have guessed that the fate of two old oxen on a Vermont college campus would inspire tens of thousands of people around the world to raise their voices. But it did. Bill and Lou, scheduled for slaughter after a lifetime of service to the college, were featured in the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, the Boston Globe and many other major media outlets, and inspired action and dialogue around the world. But now that Lou has been euthanized due to an injury and the college has decided to keep Bill, an even more urgent dialogue needs to happen. It is a dialogue about sustainability.
Green Mountain College in Poultney, Vermont is a liberal arts institution whose mission is to "prepare students for productive, caring and fulfilling lives by taking the environment as the unifying theme underlying its programs." This laudable mission is seen in course offerings, green jobs programs, numerous campus-based green initiatives and much more. The school's commitment to the environment appears to be close to a raison d'etre. Look, for instance, at its Strategic Plan 2020, which charges the school with becoming "authentically sustainable," or, in their words, "giving back more than we are taking." Named the nation's greenest college by The Sierra Club, the Green Mountain community intends to walk their talk. Good for them. Good for us.
I wonder if this environmental innovator has begun a conversation about becoming a vegan college. Plainly and simply, growing animals to feed humans — no matter how conscientiously — is not sustainable, and animal production appears to be a key piece of the Green Mountain experience. The controversy over Bill and Lou, in fact, began when a farm animal sanctuary offered lifetime care to the boys, but the college refused to sign them over, deciding instead to feed them to the students.
The devastating impact of animal agriculture is a hard, cold fact, presented convincingly by dozens of organizations including the United Nations and borne out by scientific review, the careful charting of environmental degradation, human illness and cancer rates, and increasing global climate instability. Why does it have such ill effects? A very complex issue can be boiled down to this: with a growing human population demanding more animal products, there is an accompanying demand for more water, more land, more feed for the animals, more fertilizer and pesticides and antibiotics (all toxic, all entering our soil and water), more fuel, more electricity, more waste disposal capacity, and on and on. That constant demand for more has pushed Mother Earth to the breaking point… and she is pushing back.
Let's take a look at just one resource: water. WorldWatch Institute notes that the standard American diet (meat and dairy-based) requires 4,200 gallons of water per day, while a plant-based diet requires only 300 gallons a day. It takes between 2,500 and 5,000 gallons of water to produce a pound of beef, vs. 49 gallons to produce a pound of apples. We're taking 13 trillion gallons of water per year from the Ogallala aquifer, the largest body of fresh water on earth, mostly for beef production. As a result, say many scientists, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Colorado, and New Mexico may soon be virtually uninhabitable. These are but a handful of thousands of ways that animal production taxes our finite water supply.
As our diet is causing the middle of the country to shrivel up like a prune, lower Manhattan, the Jersey shore and other areas in the Northeast have just experienced their own Katrina. Climate scientists' predictions are coming true sooner than anyone anticipated: our shorelines may soon be underwater. Look at the havoc wrought by Katrina, Irene and Sandy alone, not to mention more devastating catastrophes farther from American shores. Conversations unfathomable a few short years ago are taking place — about putting houses on stilts, about building towering walls at coastlines to keep out the sea. On the heels of so many other "natural" disasters, Sandy convinced even some naysayers that global warming is here, is real, and that we need to act. But first, we need to question. To think. To change. We need a paradigm shift.
Green Mountain College envisions itself "leading the world toward sustainability through our example" by the year 2020. But "animal production" and "authentic sustainability" are mutually exclusive. Even though Green Mountain is growing animals far more responsibly than agribusiness does, it turns away from a larger truth: to be authentically sustainable means to be vegan. No matter how animals are grown, growing plants to feed humans is easier on the earth than growing plants to feed animals and then turning those animals into food. Indeed, the breadth of devastation wrought by animal agriculture is impossible to capture in a brief blog post, but ranges from the loss of biodiversity to the loss of 40 percent of our ecologically vital Amazon rainforests and 75 percent of our topsoil to the extinction of entire bodies of water and thousands of plant and animal species. According to Time, regarding its impact on global warming, "the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) concluded that livestock farming generates 18 percent of the planet's greenhouse gas emissions," while other scientists postulated that the more accurate figure may be as high as 51 percent.
Where, America, is the urgent conversation about changing our personal behavior — i.e, our diet — to mitigate environmental disaster, and prevent loss of life and other hardship on a scale that we likely can't imagine? Right now, all I'm hearing are conversations about sea walls and raising the foundations of houses. Impractical, for starters. More to the point, these remedies are nothing more than sticking our head into the sand and waiting for Mother Nature to whack us in the ass. They are band aids, not preventive medicine.
As we humans bump along through history, we become more enlightened, not less. Despite a vociferous few who cling to archaic ideas that fail to serve the greater good, most of us march forward, toward a more enlightened view of the world. Social change is a tall order, requiring folks to reconsider deeply held beliefs influenced by culture, religion, family history, personal bias, and more. But to our credit, we Americans are good at paradigm shifts. Consider, for instance, the election, and reelection, of Barack Obama. It is my hope that Bill and Lou — two humble, beloved souls — become the teachers who jettison us to the next level, creating the conversation that helps us all make the next urgent paradigm shift: the shift to veganism.
If humanity is to survive, a shift of this magnitude must happen right now. Now is the moment for us to talk seriously, as a world community, about veganism. Vision, knowledge, leadership, and political courage are desperately needed. If it chooses to, Green Mountain College, in the once-sleepy town of Poultney, Vermont, is poised to lead the conversation for, thanks to its own admirable mandate and two old oxen named Bill and Lou, the whole world is watching.
Suggested reading: "Livestock's Long Shadow."
Kathy Stevens is the founder and director of Catskill Animal Sanctuary, one of the nation's leading sanctuaries for horses and farmed animals, located in New York's Hudson Valley. A passionate but patient advocate of the vegan lifestyle, she presents her message of "kindness to all" through her writing, as well as at speaking gigs at "kindergartens, colleges, and conferences and everything in between." She has authored two books on the work of CAS and the animals who call it home. The first,Where the Blind Horse Sings: Love and Healing at an Animal Sanctuary, received critical and popular acclaim and was released in paperback on 2009. Her second book, Animal Camp: Lessons in Love and Hope from Rescued Farm Animals, has just been released. Kathy lives on the grounds of Catskill Animal Sanctuary with her dog Hannah and her cats Fat Boy and Mouse.

quilting startitis
Is it startitis if you'd already started all of the projects? Hmmm. I have been working on so many lovely things lately…and I sure haven't been sticking with any of them!
First up is the Block 10 from the Mystery BOM. This one was fun to make.
Next are blocks from the pinwheel quilt along. Blocks 4:
Here's what my Roundabout (March schnibble) looks like:
I have almost cut out all of my April schnibble pieces…and you'll love it so far! I am! But…I won't show any sneaks on that one for a bit longer
Also, remember way back when…I made the quilt for my sister out of Eden? I didn't have great pictures, and she finally took some for me! Here is the finished product:You can sort of see it here… I added ric rac between the design and the border to help emphasize that "break". This fabric all put together almost looks like watercolors. I love the effect. The pattern is by Thimbleblossoms…Double Dip, and uses 1/2 of a layer cake and some yardage. I stitched in the ditch for the middle of the quilt, and then I did lots of really close together lines for the outer border. I like the effect.
Here is the pillow that I made her:No patter here. Just sewed together some scraps, made some yo-yos and threw them together. Kinda cute.
Alrighty peeps. I'm off to work…

We are Lindisfarne Scriptorium, a small business based on a small Island off the coast of Northumbria roughly half-way between Newcastle and Edinburgh in the United Kingdom. The Holy Island of Lindisfarne was key to the Christian faith being spread throughout the North of England in the 7th century A.D. and was the location of a Celtic and then later Benedictine monastic community.
Taking spiritual and visual inspiration from the work of the monks who created wonderful books like the Lindisfarne Gospels and the Book of Kells, the calligraphy, illumination and illustration we offer you is a merging of old skills with new materials and new techniques inspired by ancient sacred works.
We aim to offer an artform which draws the viewer into an experience of prayer, meditation and blessing. Our inspiration is also drawn from the rich Celtic spirituality of Northumbria; our Christian faith and the beautiful environment of Holy Island. We aim to follow the great Monastic Scriptorium tradition of producing pieces of artwork that give glory to God and help His people to worship.

London Room a fond look back
A nude by the late Greg Curnoe and works by a number of other significant artists are featured at a downtown gallery.
The Michael Gibson Gallery is featuring The London Room with works by Curnoe, Margot Ariss, John Boyle, Paterson Ewen, Murray Favro, Roly Fenwick, Ron Martin, David Partridge and Ed Zelenak to "complement" the Doris McCarthy exhibition already underway.
"Because Doris McCarthy is hanging in the main gallery and it being the Christmas season, I thought some family in the middle gallery would be nice," said Gibson.
"I spent one afternoon listening to music and going through our inventory to find a thread to curate the exhibition around. We have works by three members of the Nihilist Spasm Band, two artists who exhibited with Carmen Lamanna Gallery and two retired visual arts professors from UWO and Fanshawe."
The gallery has also added period furniture for visitors to "sit, relax and enjoy the show," said Gibson.
"This exhibition is about colour and place, where we live and how it relates to those around us. It is about history being made and memories of familiar images and names from the past."
— — —
What: A new exhibition featuring the work of several significant London artists including Greg Curnoe, Paterson Ewen, Murray Favro and more.
Where: The Michael Gibson Gallery, 157 Carling St.
When: Until Dec. 29.
