The Gosh! Authority 25.10.17
Okay now it's rapid-fire Halloween event time! We have three massive events planned for Saturday October the 28th!
We'll have Tor Freeman, Richard Graham, Daisy Hirst, Gary Northfield, Viviane Schwarz and Dan White here for a spooky kids workshop on Saturday 28th October from 11am-1pm. As per our ever-popular Free Comic Book Day drawing table, kids aged 6-12 are welcome to pull up a chair and draw along with professional comic and picture book artists. No ticket or booking is required, just come on down. We'll have art supplies at the table courtesy of our friends at CassArt. Oh and what's more, we'll even have some FREE comics for the kids!
Then from 1-2pm the first rate comic duo of Paul Grist and Warwick Johnson-Cadwell will be signing for us. Both will be celebrating the launches of their respective Mike Mignola penned graphic novels - The Visitor: How and Why He Stayed and Mr Higgins Comes Home!
Last but not least, Halloween at Gosh keeps the scares going into the afternoon with a scream-a-riffic signing of the much-anticipated Scream and Misty One-Shot! Horrible Hannah Berry, Sinister Simon Coleby, Fearsome Frazer Irving, Gruesome Grainne McEntee, Barbaric Ben Willsher and Angry Alec Worley will all be here from 4-5pm to put their ghoulish scrawl on your copies of the magazine! Keep informed of any updates via the Facebook event page here.
If you can't make it on the day but would like something signed, drop us a line to firstname.lastname@example.com to arrange a reservation or mail order.
Last Monday Kieron Gillen interviewed Chip Zdarsky live in store and it was as you'd imagine a delight! We had an energetic and game crowd and it was a lot of fun. Thank you to both gents for being such good sports and signing for everyone in attendance (and yes we might still have some signed Sex Criminals and Wic Div collections.) The conversation may have also been captured on a recording device which Steve (we just can't get rid of him. ) is currently editing up into a podcast-friendly size. We will be shouting about it on here and Twitter in the near future when it goes live, so um keep your ears peeled for that one!
Now onto this week's batch of new comic delights!
Writer/Artist: Geof Darrow
Publisher: Dark Horse
Have you ever thought to yourself "I love comics, but what I really want is more comics where a barely-speaking martial artist/cowboy fights a giant pig while being pursued by a mind-controlling crab and his flunkies, including dogs who have giant knives instead of forelegs." Well, we've all been there, pilgrim, and at last the comic of our dreams has arrived! The bonkers world of Geof Darrow's Shaolin Cowboy returns, and honestly it's the best it's ever been. Because, y'see, while the main story of this tome is a deceptively simple series of running combats, every page is packed with incidental detail, a whole world of stories begging you to fill in the details, from satire to tragedy to outright surrealism. Always renowned for his insane levels of detail, Darrow has really outdone himself this time as his titular hero battles through a downtown hellscape that will take you multiple readings to really soak in. So sit back with a comic that you can really luxuriate in, all bundled up in one of Dark Horse's reasonably priced, yet beautifully produced hardcovers.
And hell, if you are going to pick this book up, then you'd be a fool not to get a copy with our Gosh! Exclusive Bookplate! We're super-psyched to have been able to work with Geof to produce this bookplate, strictly limited to 200 copies. Baby Trump mauled by cats? Yes please! Available in-store this week, and available for pre-order from our webstore right now!

We all know it. Cliques are normal, natural, even. Just as the movies claim, high school students often seem to group themselves into four or five generic categories: the popular kids, the jocks, the nerds, the artists, etc. However, in my high school, I saw something different.
In some ways, my school seemed to be a real-life episode of "Orange is the New Black." No, it wasn't a prison or an emblem of corruption. It was divided. Sure, in some ways, the athletes hung out with other athletes, the artists hung out with other artists and the smart kids hung out with other smart kids. But oftentimes, these specified interests were not our only dividing factor. In many ways, our races were.
I'm not saying my student body was not diverse. I feel so lucky to have attended such a culturally accepting school. But acceptance is not the only variable in fostering a strong kinship. In some ways, a general understanding of one another can cultivate a different kind of friendship than an acceptance of one another can. And for this reason, I would often notice just how meticulously the large cafeteria at my school was laid out.
I want to make it clear that racial differences would never prevent me or anyone else in my school from getting to know one another. But it was often a distinguishing factor amongst each table, peppered about my school's huge cafeteria. A table filled with Asian students sat here, a few of Hispanics sat there, African Americans sat over there and Caucasians sat right here. Much like those at Lichefield prison, we were, on a smaller scale, clumped.
But, why? Why does race matter?
According to a Stanford Report, placing students on certain tracks based on academic abilities can foster racial cliques. In addition, a bigger and more diverse student population may result in self-segregation as opposed to smaller, more elite schools, which may already be segregated in the first place.
And it's normal, healthy in fact, to make friends with those who are similar to you.
I'm not saying that every kid in my school of 3,000 plus students were clumped or restricted in such a way. Personally, being from an Indian background, many of my closest friends were Indian as well. But I also had plenty of friends from various different backgrounds who I could relate to just as well. However, when looking at the bigger picture, clumping seemed to be somewhat of a commonality.
I can't help but wonder how this overarching elephant in the room, this subtle sense of segregation, has affected my personal outlook on cliques or the natural way we group ourselves.
I am in no way insinuating a trend. Diversity is important; it is the cornerstone of healthy communication. And I don't think these sporadic "clumps" were intentional. But, when it comes to cliques, is it natural?
As we embark on this new chapter of our lives, I encourage all incoming freshman to break this occurrence, however natural it may be. Branch out — make an effort to understand those who seem completely different from you. Of course, perhaps it is just my town, my school, my class that was, at times, "cliqued" in such a way. Only time will tell. But I'm glad to have had the chance to observe and learn from it and I am excited to grow further during my college experience. "Clumped," no more.

If you use an expert carpet cleaning service there are numerous items that you are able to do to get probably the most out of each see. Make use of the customer heated water extraction equipment with clean water and then wash the detergent through the carpet fibre and extract emulsified soil and detergent. Limitation simply how much dust gets into carpets in the first place. Remove the maximum amount of associated with mud as you are able to by blotting with a white paper towel or scraping with a dull knife.
Vacuuming up any area debris just before wash your carpets can make the work much simpler and certainly will stop your carpeting washer from getting all clogged up. This is certainly specially crucial if you're clearing up after a Christmas celebration, as tinsel and pine needles can play havoc together with your cleaner.
We have over three decades experience in expert carpet cleaning service and IICRC certification to help support our claims. To bring back flattened heaps, you should use a hot steam iron over a towel laid together with the carpet. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's strategies upholstery cleaning manhattan for use as many folks spray or afin de the cleaner immediately and instantly rub it in. Top bet is allow it to set, then eliminate as much cleaner as you are able to using the next item inside kit — a plastic scraper.
We highly recommend making use of a Bissell carpeting cleaner, like a commercial carpet shampooer or a commercial carpeting extractor. Make sure you understand the sort of cleaning method recommended by the carpet's manufacturers. Interior doormats can just only stop dust from being tracked inside and onto your carpeting if they're clean.
"Dry" cleansing uses a minimal amount of fluid and a blend of substances for restorative cleaning, regular scheduled maintenance, and emergency cleaning. Oily stains may need a lot more than an individual application of pre-treatment solution, as these are stubborn amongst carpet fibres. Every couple of weeks, take only a little additional time and make use of your crevice device for cleansing around baseboards and radiators and in other hard-to-reach places.
This method utilizes a homogenized blend of solvents, including a soap, rinsing agent, and neutralizing representative, heated to about 200 degrees Fahrenheit and placed on the carpet. Care: When using a vapor cleaner, don't get the carpets extremely damp. Perhaps not dealing with for urine during a professional rug cleaning can intensify the odor.

Romans 4 is largely Paul using Abraham to make a theological point–salvation through faith, not works. And yes, this chapter alone gives me great comfort, knowing that God saves sinners like me the same way He saved Abraham–through faith. But, taking a little closer look at Abraham's life, seeing his struggles, seeing his failures, seeing his weak faith at times, seeing his self-reliance, then seeing God faithfully keep His covenant, strengthens my faith in and love for this God who has covenanted with me and every other believer in Christ. We WILL be saved (Romans 1:16-17; 3:22, 24; 4:24-25; 5:1-2; 6:23; 10:9, 13)!
Much like my own story, Abraham was minding his own business when God called him out of paganism. He was not special. God chose him, set His love on Him, and saved Him apart from works. He wasn't looking for God when God revealed Himself to Abraham and made a covenant with him.
Abraham's weak faith and disobedience throughout his life didn't disqualify him. He did not exhaust God's patience. In fact, God knew all this beforehand and chose him any way. Abraham received perfect justification through his imperfect faith. It was neither his works nor the greatness of his faith that saved him. His faith was acceptable to God only because our great Lord graciously counted it as righteousness.
God has promised to save us through the same faith that Abraham had (no matter how weak at times) apart from works. He has graciously chosen to count our faith in the crucified, resurrected Messiah as righteousness. Don't get discouraged and run away from God in shame because of your weak faith or failures. Run to Him. Repent. Rest in the promises of His grace. No one, not even you, if you are truly in Christ, can separate you from His love (Romans 8:31-39)!

Truth Revealed About Suriya's Alleged Attack

Later on the lady who is the witness of the entire incident has explained the entire incident on Twitter.
"Thank you very very much for telling those two boys not to lay hands on me when they were abusing and threatening me yesterday. Boys were threatening to break the glass on my car and were not letting me get back into car and close door for my safety. Boys were demanding money from me. I was alone in the big crowd facing two threatening boys. They said they would make phone calls and take action. Thank you for stopping your vehicle and insisting that the boys not touch a woman. Your intervention was timely." Pushpa Krishna Swamy posted on her Twitter profile.

Govt allies must force National to reverse class increases
Friday, 1 June 2012, 9:19 am
01 June 2012 MEDIA STATEMENT
Govt allies must force National to reverse class size increases
Labour Leader David Shearer is calling on the Government's allies to use their combined political muscle to force National to ditch its plan to increase class sizes.
"Parents, children and teachers are overwhelmingly opposed to National's plan to increase class sizes. They know it will damage their children's learning and limit their opportunities.
"United Future and the Māori Party have the opportunity to show that they're prepared to stand alongside Kiwis on this issue. They must use their power to force National to drop the plan completely – not just to tinker with it.
"It is also concerning that National seems to have breached its no surprises agreement by failing to properly brief its support partners on the full impact of the policy changes. They are right to be angry about this.
"This issue is so serious for our future that John Key must find the time to deal with it, despite the fact he is overseas celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations. We urge him to act.
"Education is a priority for Labour. We will reverse National's short-sighted plan to increase class sizes when we're elected. But we urge other political parties who are in a position of power now to fight for our children and their right to a quality education," said David Shearer.

This ski shop may seem like a last-minute location, perched at the bottom of the winding road up to Bogus Basin, but make no mistake: Greenwood's is king of the mountain for Boise snow freaks. It offers a wide variety of pro gear, newb swag and everything in between. And if you can't find that pair of prefect-fit boots, the crack team at Greenwood's is on call to solve the dilemma. The shop has obviously earned a loyal following, considering the number of times it has come out on top of this category. From skis and poles, to wool and performance fleece, Greenwood's is the bee's knees.

I'm really pleased to introduce my second guest: UK-based author Jo Thomas. I've invited her to write about one of her passions: werewolves!
Jo is a talented writer with both published and forthcoming stories in numerous anthologies and magazines like The Future Fire, Crossed Genres and Interstellar Fiction. She writes mostly speculative fiction, tending towards dark fantasy.
I've been Twitter friend with Jo for a while, and I know she's occupied with her dogs (the Hellhounds), swords, Welsh, and werewolves. She's also been quizzing me and other Norwegian Twitter friends about the Norwegian odd names, so I'm quite curious about where this is heading.
I was very happy for her when she announced earlier this year that Fox Spirit Books will publish her novel "25 Ways To Kill A Werewolf" in 2014. I really look forward to this, being quite fond of these furry monsters myself. But I just had to ask Jo: Why werewolves? Here is what she answered:
Margrét approached me to do a guest blog and, in the process, asked me why I tend to write about werewolves. In the keeping with European mythology and folklore, the answer is threefold:
Back In The Good Old Days
Werewolves are one of the "big three" of horror monsters that have been used and over-used for years (the others being vampires and zombies). Arguably, they've been over-done to the point where the typical representation now involves being a love interest in an urban fantasy rather than a monster that wants to rip out the protagonist's innards and feast on them.
I'm not so old school that I want all my werewolves to return to the days of mindless murder but I appreciate a range of behaviours and responses, not just simpering. I have nothing against a well-behaved werewolf, I just think that it pays to remember that they are a physically powerful person not the family pet. I write accordingly – or try to.
Shifting Shapes
I find shape-shifting an impressive skill. All things considered, I'd like that to be my super power if anyone's handing them out. I think the attraction, to paraphrase a Pratchett comment about the Librarian, is that it's very rare to get the opportunity to leave the human race and still be alive.
There is a distinct possibility that the werewolf concept comes, at least in part, from the need to do that. More specifically, in order to get young men to do inhumane things like kill each other, war bands and warrior-cults usually involved an element of becoming a predatory animal in all but shape. The wolf was particularly common in Celtic and Germanic traditions.
So, yeah, I use mythology and fairy tales as a source of inspiration, and there are related traditions I hope to play with, too. The Scandinavian wolf-warriors were the Úlfhéðnar, but most Anglophones are more familiar with their cousins, the Berserkir. Alongside that, there are the deer and swan maiden traditions of Western Europe – that may be a remnant of female equivalent to the warrior-cults – and the selkies of Scotland. I have used something of them in a few short stories and they're likely to turn up again.
Shifting Species
Another reason that the whole being-human-but-not aspects of the werewolf fascinates me is because I have dogs and my little pack is a constant source of ideas, some of which actually work out.
Basically, in order to gel as a pack, humans who own dogs must learn to present information in a manner that dogs can understand (or give orders they'll take to get them around something they'll never grasp). Dogs, on the other hand, have to learn to think and communicate in a way that their wild cousins don't. Dogs have learnt to read our faces, work out what we can see from our viewpoint, and that pointing isn't about sticking out our fingers to be sniffed.
There is mounting evidence that humanity probably wouldn't have language if they hadn't had to learn to communicate with the wolf-cousins who eventually became the domesticated dog. In return, no-one can argue that humans have had a massive affect on the canine form and brain.
So, yeah, I like to examine the continuum between human and wolf, bridging the species gap with magic as necessary. As a result, both dogs and werewolves turn up in my work – sometimes together.
Here's a picture of Baby-FinnHellhound with my niece and my sister, learning how to be a member of the pack – almost seven years ago!
Jo Thomas
Thank you so much, Jo! If you want to find out more about Jo, werewolves, her pack of Hellhounds, her interest in swords and her writing, check out her website: http://www.journeymouse.net

Update: The new Pay with a Like WordPress Plugin has now been released!
Hi all,
As we noticed that there is a need for this plugin, we developed it and it is now ready for beta tests.
What does this plugin do? It simply hides part(s) of your post/page content until it is "like"d by the visitor. For liking, Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter or Google +1 can be selected. When it is liked, visitor is now free to see (or download) the hidden content for the adjustable cookie validity time.
You can select to protect a single, some or all of your posts/pages and even you can select to hide more than one part of your post/page.
It supports custom post types too!
No registration to the website is required. Settings are similar to PPV (Pay Per View) and actually both plugins can work in combination: You can have some part of your content protected/hidden to be revealed with $ payment, and other part(s) to be revealed with Likes.
Some other features:
Sitewide like: Admin can select to reveal all protected content on the website after a single like
Selectable random and single urls to be liked: Default setting is liking the page that the button is clicked, but admin can select a specific page (e.g. home page) or a random published post/page to be liked. The latter one may be preferred for SEO reasons.
To use less resources, this plugin does not refer to the database to check if visitor actually liked the content, but it uses a cookie. Cookie is encrypted using website specific "salt". Therefore it is almost impossible to deceive the plugin to reveal a content without liking.
Please have a look and give us your feedback :slight_smile:

Ongoing renovation project of an old fisherman's house.
The Cabanyal neighbourhood is a little gem 10min away from the city centre of Valencia. Bathed by the mediterranean sea, this old fishermen village is formed by two story houses of colourful tilled modernist facades. Some buildings specially stand out for it's patrimonial value like It's theatre, the old fish market, or the "Casa dels Bous", where the bulls that helped pulling fishing nets and boats from the sea were kept- as depicted in the beautiful paintings of Sorolla.
The more recent history of the area though, is one of much more controversy. The political and economical interests of the city's former government played a devastating role in the area. It's decay was orchestrated during the last 20 years of their power. The increasing decadence of the neighbourhood would serve the government as an excuse to force the neighbours out of their homes and tear the houses down, allowing developers to lucrate from building an avenue and new buildings on top. Thanks to the massive mobilisation of the people the plans to tear down Cabanyal have now stopped. In the spirit of bringing a brighter future to Cabanyal, respectful renovations are starting to be planned.
This house in particular is a typical example of the humble Valencian modernism. Narrow in width and deep in plan, the very high ceilings allow light to flow in leaving direct sunlight out. A very needed gesture when temperatures reach 40 degrees. Additionally, a high pitch roof construction ventilated from both facades, provides an intermediate layer that works as natural cooling. It is built in brick and covered outside and partly inside by different designs of colourful tiles.
The transformation will embrace the original elements of the house and simple street lifestyle of the area.

I wasn't born skeptical. But when you repeatedly are told there are optional answers to two-plus-two, your grin grows crooked.
This recent University of Missouri protest, many football players included, for example. It cost the school's president his job, and likely his career and reputation given that once you're branded a racist, even if untrue, you must remain one. Yet the protest flunked the common sense test.
I've been skeptical of college protesters beginning when I was one. By 1972, I was all in — long hair, pea coat, peace buttons. I wore the uniform, sang the songs. And knew I was right.
Then, as per a history class, I researched the Korean War to find that there was big problem in the peace process: At least 100,000 North Korean and Red Chinese POWs didn't want repatriation. All they knew of the rest of the world were internment camps, yet they knew they didn't want to be returned to their Communist-ruled homelands.
So maybe — just maybe — my Vietnam War protests were more a matter of obligation than information, sheepherding. I'm still not sure.
In the news business, common sense was applied by only a few to the 2006 Duke lacrosse rape case that shook the school, then the nation, on behalf of a black victim of white privilege. That the single plaintiff was devoid of credibility — the accuser was a stripper and lap-dancer with a police record that included the theft of a taxi in which she led cops on a chase; her ex-boyfriend characterized her a liar — didn't matter.
Most, including Duke's king, Mike Krzyzewski, pandering politicians, local and national activists — still go-to men and women on issues of injustice, and, of course, the news media — didn't want to speak, write, report or even suggest any of that. Three players were guilty of rape and a racial hate crime, and would pay for the rest of their rotten lives.
Eventually, the common-sense truth of the story rode to their rescue, scattering the rush-to-judgment vigilantes, who next pretended they never had declared the guilt of innocent young men.
The common-sense factor is lost in coverage of protests by Muslim college students and their confederates railing against perceived oppressive U.S. policy against Islam and Islamic countries. Yet none — but especially the women — are asked about Islamic countries that disallow women from attending college!
This Missouri protest, alleging overt, campus-wide racism, never — not from the start — passed common-sense muster. The football team's black players — the team was 4-5 — refused to play. Had it been 9-0 or 8-1? Again, I wasn't born a skeptic.
The one act cited by the protesters and the media — a fecal swastika applied to a bathroom wall — was presented as Exhibits A-through-Z of the college's racist culture. But was that the work of a racist movement or of a single nut, or of a provocateur, white or black?
Missouri's student president, Payton Head, is a gay black man from Chicago. If bigotry is prevalent, how was he elected by a student body that is 77 percent white and overwhelmingly straight?
Head claimed he became convinced the school's governors are racist when they didn't act on his complaint someone from a passing truck called him the N-word.
And now it has come to light that Head's most inflammatory, racists-on-the-prowl, lives-in-danger, lock-down-the-campus claim was a fabrication, although too late for deposed president Tim Wolfe.
Head's Facebook-posted alarm: "Students please take precautions. Stay away from windows in residence halls. The KKK has been confirmed to be sighted on campus. I'm working with MUPD [campus police], State Troopers and National Guard."
And that was a complete lie, or, as Head admitted, he disseminated information from "multiple incorrect sources." Oh, OK. Yet, he was the front-and-center leader!
For perverse comedy, the protesters were supported by ex-Mizzou player and current Jet Sheldon Richardson, who in July, two weeks after an NFL suspension for failing a third drug test, was arrested for driving his Bentley 143 mph trying to elude police — with a loaded gun and a child aboard. As social activists roll, he's very active.
This college protest defied common sense from its start, when two-plus-two again was dismissed as irrelevant or, worse, dangerous to media who could suffer the same end as Tim Wolfe. Perhaps it wouldn't have gone down had Missouri met its Top 25 preseason ranking.
Radio folk follow Francesa lead
As if Mike Francesa doesn't exude enough megalomania, other WFAN hosts suffer mirror-mirror-on-the-wall delusions.
Craig Carton now is heard in an ad for pillows that begins, "Everyone knows I have trouble sleeping."
Gee, Craig, I had no idea. I swear! How perfectly awful! Yet, that's the kind of thing Carton would ridicule if said by others.
Joe Benigno narrates an ad for a home improvement operation in which he claims, "Terry and I love it." While presumably Terry is his wife, when did they become Ozzie and Harriet?
More Benigno: He has been heard hollering, get-rich-today DraftKings ads. Yet, last week he admitted, "I'm illiterate with this stuff. I want nothing to do with it."
That's not how it works, Joe — not according to Federal Trade Commission statutes.
Benigno and Evan Roberts, in a commercial plant, once interviewed Giuseppe Franco as if he were legit, as if his products, as ceaselessly advertised on Yankees and Mets telecasts, actually grow hair!
Back to Francesa. After days screaming at callers that the Yankees won at least two World Series as wild-card qualifiers, he discovered he was wrong — they never won even one — then pretended he never had said otherwise.
Last week he twice expertly claimed no NFL team has made the playoffs after a 2-6 start. The 1970 Bengals started 1-6, then 2-6; made the playoffs at 8-6. And now that he knows that, he always knew!
At least you led in 1st downs
Drat To Stats: The Dolphins, Saints, Jaguars and Packers last Sunday beat their opponents in first downs by a lot, a total of 98-77. They also lost their games by a total of 133-97.
On Thursday, after Jets WR Brandon Marshall batted around an on-target pass until it was intercepted, CBS/NFLN's Jim Nantz said, "That's the first interception thrown by Ryan Fitzpatrick in a span of 104 passes."
Nothing more. Yep, into the stats vat with all the others; all interceptions are the same — they're bad throws, wild pitches, the QB's fault, like wins and losses.

Changing a user's display setting
I'm not sure which display setting you're talking about so I'm going to answer with two possibilities.
One set of display settings is within the user profile; since you've only got to do this for one user, the simplest way is to log on as that user, change the setting and log out. That will save the setting to their user profile.
The other possibility is that you're talking about their terminal services display settings, which aren't in their profile. You change this from the RDP file they use to log on. For example, if you're using Remote Desktop Connection then change the display settings by opening Remote Desktop Connection, clicking on the "Options" button, and changing settings on the "Display Tab'. Save these settings and distribute the resulting RDP file to the user.

TANIS Ibiza: Bespoke soft furnishings – fast!
'Fabric, furniture, café and more' says the sign outside the gorgeously chic interiors showroom TANIS Ibiza. So what exactly is this 'more' the sign speaks of? More (and much more, might we add) means a whole host of bespoke soft furnishing options, from cushions and day beds to curtains, blinds, re-upholstering furniture and bed and sofa coverings. And more!
Interior designers Tatjana Berger-Sandhofer and Nick Lording have hand-picked an extensive selection of fabrics – both indoor and outdoor – from the finest suppliers in Europe and the USA and keep the rolls onsite, meaning once you've identified your favourite and you know what you want, it's just a matter of a few days of sewing before being delivered and fitted into your home.
The TANIS Ibiza aesthetic is very chic, pared back, earthy and natural – think striped linens, plain linens, sophisticated patterns and soft textures. If you don't find exactly what you're looking for amongst their walls of fabrics however, just ask – Tatjana also has two showrooms in Austria with hundreds more options, and relationships with the best suppliers who can deliver to Ibiza on demand (fast).
You name it, they'll make it, with a dedicated team ready and waiting behind the scenes to sew your interior dreams into reality. The motivation behind the TANIS Ibiza speedy service ethos came from a project the duo undertook in Ibiza some years ago, commissioning bespoke curtains in May, then finding themselves waiting until September for delivery. Never again, they declared, and set up shop in Santa Gertrudis in 2013, guaranteeing high quality within realistic time frames, and avoiding the typical 'mañana, mañana' attitudes typically associated with Spain at all costs.
There's no limit to the size of your project – it can be as simple as two custom-made cushions, an entire interior design project, or a corporate project such as BEACHOUSE Ibiza, who commissioned TANIS Ibiza to make over 300 cushions and cover 20 day beds in just two weeks before opening earlier this year. Many clients choose to simply entrust Tatjana and Nick with the keys to their property while they're away for the winter, and simply arrive back in time for Christmas, Easter or summer to an all-new, fresh look.
TANIS Ibiza is open between 11am and 2pm daily throughout winter. Click here to read more about TANIS Ibiza on White Ibiza

Sean McFarland is a rare thing: a photographer with a studio practice. Having long explored unconventional methods in photography, his current show, Viewshed at Baer Ridgway Exhibitions, showcases his range and talent. The show is large, and features two distinct, though interrelated, bodies of work: his extensive Pictures of Earth Polaroid series, as well as his current endeavor, Dark Pictures, begun in 2008. Both groupings picture Western landscape as a thing both alien and cerebral.
The Pictures of Earth Polaroids are the largest grouping, at twenty-three images. The Polaroids depict natural scenes, most often shot from above, ranging from the bucolic (waterfalls and crop fields) to the catastrophic (explosions and tornados). The outdated format evokes nostalgia for the medium as well as the landscapes; the rolling hills are gradually disappearing alongside the light-sensitive emulsion of the instant photographs that picture them. The Polaroids also create a sense of detachment from the viewer; at 3.25 by 4.25 inches, the unique images are too small to be seen clearly, and feel less like photographs than private windows into parallel worlds. And here is the best part, saved for last: While some of these photographs where indeed taken in the field by McFarland, most are images of images -- miniature simulacra -- taken in the artist's studio. In McFarland's work, it makes little difference which is "authentic;" both capture the fiction of a distant American West.
"Creek Portrait," Sean McFarland, 2011.
McFarland's most recent body of work, Dark Pictures, is in some sense, anti-Polaroids: large, dark, and detailed images of foliage too dense to see through. Though they might easily be mistaken for unexplored forestry in a national park, the images were actually taken in controlled city parks, gardens and lots within ten miles of McFarland's Mission District home. These are man-made landscapes, developed for the sake of urban beautification. As in McFarland's Polaroids of existing photographs, you wouldn't know it.
While both Pictures of the Earth and Dark Pictures engage an element of fiction, the photographs give away no easy hints of their own construction. There is no trash peeking from behind the dense foliage in Dark Pictures, no trace of the artist's hand in re-photographing source material for Pictures of the Earth (the explanation is available to the curious viewer, but does not appear alongside the work or in its title). Instead, the images in both series are beautiful and uncanny, and never eclipsed by self-satisfaction in their making.

Topic: Politics and Discipleship
Many followers of Christ struggle in their engagement with politics, lacking either deep conviction or civil discourse. Join us for our North Phoenix Surge Gathering to discuss how engagement in politics is an important part of our discipleship, not just in the policies we support, but also in our manner of discourse.
As followers of Christ, we have the opportunity to engage in the political process with wisdom, humility, nuance, and as a means of loving our neighbors. We hope to follow Jesus beyond the categories of "Left" and "Right," and gain a vision politics that honors God and blesses others.
Questions that will be addressed:
- - What is the role of the church? What is the role of the state?
- - How should the Bible inform our political engagement?
- - What are the idols of the "Left" and "Right"?
- - Why should we care about politics?
- - What does healthy political discourse look like?

When the weather is fine, I would rather be outside than writing. And often am! Even so, the mystery progresses with Jack Cosser, the detective, unravelling the identity of the murder victim. And starting to seek out the killer. The writer eventually needs to know who this is also. Actually, I do know, but won't reveal that, of course. For now, just that Jack will close in on this villain sooner or later. How and when and why remains in my hands and I am working on it.
However, today on this gorgeous day, I will venture out into the sunshine. All too precious after the record breaking rain just a few days ago in Toronto.

CHICAGO, Ill. -- The Illinois Tech women's soccer team saw their season come to an end as the Scarlet Hawks fell in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference Semifinals to Milwaukee School of Engineering on Tuesday.
The Raiders (13-9) defeated the Scarlet Hawks (14-5-1), 2-1, at Stuart Field.
The match was delayed for 35 minutes for a storm delay at the 32nd minute.
How It Happened
- Shelby Namen put the Raiders on the scoreboard as she scored a goal in the 36th minute.
- Caeli Kennedy was able to respond right back for the Scarlet Hawks with her equalizer in the 37th minute with the assist from Jamie Griggs.
- Both teams were tied at 1 at the halftime break. Catherine Klemp had one save in the first half.

Strictly fans lash out as Anton Du Beke says dancing with Ruth is a 'journey'
Viewers said the professional dancer was not showing enough support to his partner.
Strictly Come Dancing fans have hit out at Anton Du Beke after his comments about working with presenter Ruth Langsford.
The pair were the second to perform on Saturday night's movie-themes round, dancing a rumba to James Bond classic Diamonds Are Forever.
The Rumba is a difficult dance. But looking dazzling on the dance floor @RuthieeL & @TheAntonDuBeke #Strictly 💎 pic.twitter.com/9P4cNgcxCf— BBC Strictly ✨ (@bbcstrictly) October 7, 2017
But after their efforts earned them a mere 15 points out of 40 from the judges, he joked: "If we add up our whole marks for the first three shows I still don't think we would score 42. It's going to be quite some journey this, I tell you. By March I reckon we'll be on about 45 points."
But viewers were unimpressed by the comments and took to Twitter to criticise him for showing little faith in his partner.
Francesca Falluto commented: "Alright Anton. Way to make her feel better…#strictly #SCD2017
Alright Anton. Way to make her feel better...#strictly #SCD2017— Francesca (@Francesc_ahhh) October 7, 2017
"I don't find Anton funny..#Strictly," added another person, while another commented: "I wish Anton du Beke would shut up #Strictly."

Shut up, Anton #strictly #scd2017— Marianka Swain (@mkmswain) October 7, 2017
Meanwhile, others were stunned by Langsford's costume, which included a wig of long golden locks.
While judge Darcey Bussell said she should "hold on" to the look, one fan tweeted: "Ruth looks lovely with long hair!! #Strictly."
Wow Ruth looks 20years younger tonight. Didn't recognise her at first. Thought it was the girl from Hollyoaks! 😆 #Strictly— Anna Le Jeune (@ADLJ) October 7, 2017
#Strictly time! Thought @StrictlyRuth looked fabulous and so sexy. Did really well @RuthieeL @TheAntonDuBeke @bbcstrictly @EamonnHolmes— Vicki Michelle (@vickimichelle) October 7, 2017
As the judges gave out their critique, Du Beke interrupted to say of his moment on the dance floor with Langsford: "I had a lovely time…I felt fabulous."

Life in the Danger Zone: An Interview with Borzou Daragahi
Reporter Borzou Daragahi covering conflict in Libya in 2011 These days it's not uncommon for journalists (and citizen journalists) to become the first casualty when it comes to investigating conflict and reporting the news. According to Reporters Without Borders, 51 reporters and 10 citizen journalists have already been killed in 2018 alone. Over 300 have been imprisoned. And when not being imprisoned or shot, reporters face skeptics who scrutinize their every word. With history's heavy-hitting dictators like Stalin and Hitler calling the press "the enemy of the people," you have to wonder what page Donald Trump is on, as he plays fast and loose with the facts while accusing the press of reporting "fake news" and insisting that the media is the enemy.

The Sephardic Way: on Jewish Life by Joyce Zonana
Joyce Zonana, an Egyptian Jew who came to the United States as a child, has always identified closely with her Arab and African roots. In this personal essay, as American Jews prepare for the September High Holidays (Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur), she reflects on what it means to be Jewish in the context of the Middle East, even as American Jewish identity continues to be defined by a European Ashkenazi hegemony. —TMR * Continue reading
The Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza
Gaza: An Inquest into Its MartyrdomUniversity of California Press, 2018; 440 pages, hardback, $34.95An E-book version is also available. The Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza By Eric A. Gordon "The nadir of the Palestinian struggle is now," says distinguished but controversial scholar Norman G. Finkelstein. He spoke on March 26 at the University of Southern California Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. "Nothing is happening there in Palestine. There is no mass resistance." That explains why worldwide the pro-Palestinian cause is not drawing the crowds it once did. It also explains why the USC auditorium was at most half full. As Finkelstein surveyed the audience, he pointed to one college-age man in the front row, observing that he was by far the youngest person in the room. In Gaza today, 51 percent of the population is under 18 years of age. Half of Gaza's people would be younger than this young man. However, if the martyrdom of Gaza seems right now to be sealed in the pages of history, "We don't know what will come tomorrow," says the author, on a tour to promote his newest book, Gaza: An Inquest into Its Martyrdom. "So we must keep preparing the ground." Continue reading
A 20-Year Retrospective on Arts and Activism in Southern California
By Jordan Elgrably For more than 20 years, I brought a wealth of public programs to Southern California. As I prepare to turn 60 in what has been a rich and rewarding life, here is a look back, from 1996 to 2017. Jordan Elgrably in 2014, protesting the bombing of Gaza Support Jordan Elgrably's research & writing for his 60th birthday, 2/28/18: Contribute SOME YEARS AGO, at the tail end of a painful divorce, I was working as a journalist and feature writer in Los Angeles, when the Washington Post asked me to profile an author named Victor Perera. I hadn't previously been familiar with his work and began to prepare for our interview by reading his most recent book, a family memoir entitled The Cross and the Pear Tree, A Sephardic Journey. Perera's story of generations of Spanish and Turkish Jews picking up and moving to flee persecution or seek economic opportunity resonated with me. My paternal grandparents had left Morocco after World War I, looking for a better life in France, where my father and most of his siblings were born and raised. My father later emigrated to America, to get away from poverty in post-WWII Europe and Morocco. And according to family rumors, the Elgrabys had once lived in Spain and Palestine. This was a time in my life when I began to explore my own sense of belonging, particularly with respect to Arab and Jewish identity. Continue reading
In a Suspicious World, Creative Arabs, Iranians Are Having a Good Year
"Goats" a play by Syrian playwright Liwaa Yazji, at London's Royal Court Theatre By Jordan Elgrably It would be comical if it were funny: Arabs/Muslims and Iranians have become the scapegoats and villains du jour. Everywhere these days, they represent everyman's fear. In the United States and Europe, Muslims are either immigrants who are going to cause terror attacks—hence Trump's anti-Muslim ban, and France's new anti-terrorism statute—or they want to annihilate somebody. In Iran, after all, ayatollahs have the A-Bomb and want to rearrange the map of the Middle East. Naturally, it's not only politicians and media outlets that feed this frenzied rhetoric. For too long now, the great mass of Middle Easterners have been vilified by Hollywood. It's almost as if every Arab, every Muslim is a potential terrorist until proven otherwise. Continue reading
Yasmine Hamdan Rocks L.A.
"Her music felt sincerely unrehearsed in its apparent spontaneity, yet precisely prepared in its apparent flawlessness." By Sami Asmar (photos by Derrick Lee, music editor at BlurredCulture.com) Modern popular music in the Arab world is a business of mass production in a standard mold. Producers bring together lyricists and composers and match them with singers, then after some studio magic, songs are out for mass consumption. There are few exceptions where the singer is a true artist who also participates in the development of the lyrics and composition to express herself sincerely. One of these exceptions is Beirut-born Yasmine Hamdan, who broke the mold and left her mark on the pop scene quickly and with style. Continue reading
Why Non-Arabs Should Read Hisham Matar's Memoir, "The Return"
The Libyan American's memoir of his disappeared father imparts universal values By Jordan Elgrably Who could fail to benefit from the humanization of the "other"? Do you remember the last time you saw a movie or read a book and identified with a protagonist ostensibly very different from yourself? Escaping from the narrow prism of your own consciousness, you became utterly empathic, imagining that the challenges and hardships faced by that protagonist were your own. You became that person. Empathy at this level stretches the spirit; it also is a practical antidote for depression, because getting outside yourself, you feel larger than your ego. You realize that you are not your feelings, but something much greater. Continue reading
The Persian Connection Reviewed
Daniel Y-Li Grove and Reza Sixo Safai's New Wave neon Noir takes us for an exhilarating ride By Lauren Marcus The Iran-Iraq War (Alfred Yaghobzadeh) Former Iranian child soldier Behrouz (Reza Sixo Safai) has never recovered from his experiences in the Iran-Iraq war. Years later, a tortured immigrant living in Los Angeles, he turns to opium for relief. His addiction leads him into the underworlds of the Persian and Russian mafias. The visuals of the film are as important as the plot. Behrouz sports Robert Smith hair, a nod to '80s Goth, as New Wave music plays in the background of nearly every scene. This deliberate throwback to the 1980s reflects Behrouz's inability to move past the era when he was traumatized. The screen is bathed in hues of rose, a significant color in Iranian culture. Fever-dream images of winding roads lit only by headlights, transitions from normal coloring—to pink and red-stained—to opaque magenta, then back to normal—render Los Angeles impossible to recognize, even for a native.

50 Years After the Start of the Occupation, the "Two-State Solution" Is Dead, Says Halper
The Markaz ReviewBy Lauren Marcus Jeff Halper, author of War Against the People: Israel, the Palestinians and Global Pacification, is widely considered an icon in progressive circles. Once head of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions, he has been a voice against the Occupation for years. Halper grew up in Minnesota and has been living in Israel since 1973. The Israeli-American anthropologist spoke June 4th at the Workmen's Circle/Arbeiter Ring, a Jewish Socialist center in Los Angeles, to a left-leaning crowd eager to hear his ideas for ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He was a guest of LA Jews for Peace and The Markaz. Continue reading

For Immediate Release
August 11, 2016
MRF's Jay Jackson Elected to Serve on Executive Committee for State Motorcycle Safety Administrators Association
WASHINGTON, DC – This week, the State Motorcycle Safety Administrators (SMSA) announced the results of its recent elections. Notably, Jay Jackson, Vice-President of the Board of Directors for the Motorcycle Riders Foundation, was elected to serve on the SMSA Executive Committee as the Individual Members' Representative.
The SMSA is an Association representing State Motorcycle Safety Administrators from across the country. The purpose of the group includes goals to influence national policy and standards affecting motorcyclists, provide guidance on state policies or standards, as well as allow for communication, collaboration and partnerships between Motorcycle Safety Administrators across the U.S. The SMSA's recent elections resulted in a number of new appointees to the Executive Committee which leads the organization. Jay Jackson is one of those recently elected.
"The SMSA really can serve a valuable purpose," stated Jackson who indicated his excitement about rider education programs. "The previous and incoming Executive Committees members are dynamic individuals and have the enthusiasm to make things happen," he went on to say.
According to Jackson's SMSA nominee biography, he became a certified motorcycle instructor in 1986 and a decade later became State Director of the Motorcycle Safety Division for ABATE of Indiana where he is still working today. Under his leadership, ABATE of Indiana's rider education program expanded exponentially and he started to develop an extensive network of motorcycle safety professionals. In 2000, Jackson received his designation as a Chief Instructor by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. He has conducted and assisted in numerous training courses across several states.
As the Individual Members Representative to the SMSA Executive Committee, Jackson is hopeful he can help "cross pollinate" in getting motorcycle rights enthusiasts and motorcycle safety administrators to work together. Given his extensive background in motorcycle rights, his work with the MRF and ABATE of Indiana, and his strong interest and success in rider training and education programs, Jackson may be just the guy to do the job.
About Motorcycle Riders Foundation
The Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) provides leadership at the federal level for states' motorcyclists' rights organizations as well as motorcycle clubs and individual riders. The MRF is chiefly concerned with issues at the national and international levels that impact the freedom and safety of American street motorcyclists.

Ride the wave
Summer is officially here, and there are less than 60 days left of the year. This means that soon all of Gauteng will drain out of the province and move down to the coast. Here's where you'll find all the things you need before you hit the beach this summer.
What kind of Octopus?
If you love those funky novelty shops that stock everything from glow tape and donkey wine stoppers, then you need to stop in at Gemini Octopus in Fourways Mall. Here you'll not only find loads of great gift ideas, but they've also got a great range of funky beach towels and waterproof speakers – a must have for the summer.
Cowabunga dude
Don't wear the same boardshorts that you've had since Matric Rage. It's time to upgrade. So head to Surf Centre in Fourways mall for the latest boardie fashion, and maybe consider getting yourself a surfboard to use down in Durbs this year!
Flip-flops and Bronzers
If you're going to be spending all your time on the sand this December, then you'll want to look your tanned-best. Head to Gold Coast Tan in Cedar Square for bronzers to perfect your look. They also stock a wide range of womens and mens swimwear, kaftans, and most importantly, Ipanema flip-flops for long walks on the beach.
View this post on Instagram
Essential sunnies
Of course, no beach outfit is complete without the perfect set of shades. When we hit the beach, we always remember to put sunblock on (right?) but your eyes need protection too, which is why it's worth investing in a good pair of polarised sunglasses. Hit Torga Optical, Fourways Mall Optometrists or Mellin's to find your perfect pair for summer.
