There's been plenty of negative talk surrounding Afghanistan, since 9/11, and now, finally, there's something good to talk about. Afghanistan has opened its very first skate park called Skateistan Skate Park. It's located in Kabul's biggest indoor sports stadium. Skateistan is a skateboarding school that is open to urban and internally displaced youngsters. It teaches girls and boys how to use all types of skating methods, including longboard skateboards.
One of the biggest aspects of the Afghanistan skate park is that it allows girls to join in. This is a country where girls and women are discriminated against and left out from many educational and recreational activities. There are young girls there, today, though, who would like to grow up to be a professional skateboarder. It took about $650,000 in donations to open this longboard skateboard park. One young girl's parents are paid $1 day to work at the skate park (instead of selling gum on the street), while she learns how to use longboards.
The land that the skate park sits on (about 19,380 sq. ft.) was donated by the Afghan Olympic Committee. It also helped out with supplying security, water and power. After the skate park opened, dozens of boys and girls from all backgrounds joined the indoor park. The park brings together a mixture of children from various social classes, which is something you don't see very often in countries like this. The school teaches more than just how to ride longboard skateboards; it teaches healthy habits, information technology, languages, civic responsibility and the arts. It's a lot like the Boys and Girls Club, or other similar organizations you may be familiar with, especially those that help kids stay off the streets.
A lot of the students who are signing up at this skate park are looking for more than just entertainment. For some, this is their future. Being a professional skateboarder is much more possible, now that they have access to facilities, teachers and longboards. The skate park has expert skateboarders who are teaching the children how to skate, jump, ride ramps and perform other tricks. Before the skate park opened, the land was an empty space that wasn't being used. It was once filled with dogs, and now it's filled with children and their longboard skateboards.
All across the world, skateboarding is continuing to be a great pastime, and even a childhood dream. One of the best gifts a parent can give to a child is a longboard skateboard. It's possible that he or she may develop skateboarding skills and become a professional skateboarder. Skateboards can be purchased at online longboard shops, which sell them at reasonable prices. There are different designs and colors to choose from. There are also different sized longboards, to accommodate beginners and professionals.
Hopefully, the children in Afghanistan will continue to learn new skateboarding skills, and possibly become some of the world's next best boarders. They could enter competitions and gain a sponsor. Potentially, skateboarding could keep children off the streets and boost the country's economy.

Cutting with scissors can be a difficult task for young learners
Children learn to use scissors in small steps and it is helpful to ensure they are following developmental steps to gain confidence so they can move to the next skill. Scissor skills require a fine motor strength and manipulation awareness. Basic finger strengthening activities need to be encouraged before your child's hands are strong enough for scissor skills activities
Fine Motor activities that develop finger/hand strength include:
There are many ways you can encourage your child to strengthen the muscles in their hands. Some activities you might like to try – making learning FUN:
playdoh rolling and manipulation,
tong activities,
posting small objects,
picking objects up using pincer grip (thumb and index finger),
scrunching paper,
spray bottles,
finger painting,
clothes peg play,
writing/drawing in sensory trays;
First step in Scissor Activities
When your child is interested in exploring with scissors. We recommend you use playdoh scissors and freshly made playdoh (shop bought playdoh is also able to be used, it is just not as soft)
Help your child to cut the playdoh and then let them have a lot of time to explore and enjoy cutting. Don't rush this process, it is an important learning stage
When your child has had some time with playdoh scissors, you can introduce them to child-safety scissors. There are many different types of safety scissors – you might like to purchase safety scissors from Amazon:
Melissa & Doug Safety Scissors
Scissor Grip
Holding a pair of scissors is not a natural feeling when you are first learning. Your child will try to hold it in an awkward position. It is important to encourage them to keep their thumb on top when cutting.
A fun strategy can be to draw a smiley face on your child's thumb so that they remember they need to see the smiley face while they are cutting
Download your own copy of our Scissor Skills resource which teach scissor skills while having FUN
Download your copy HERE
The first step to scissor skills is to make a snipping action. The snipping action allows the learner to gain strength in their fingers to open and close the scissors. This is a small hand motion which is a step toward building hand strength. Practice at this level is important and should be repeated for a period of time. It is good practice to use different textured objects to build strength with this skill. You could try straws, wool, cardboard, magazine pages, cooking patty cases, aluminium foil or similar.
Learning to co-ordinate holding the sheet of paper and using scissors is also a skill which takes practice.
The Snip Snip Scissor Skill resource will give your child lots of opportunity for practice with different graphics and colours to motivate snipping fringes on the pages
Longer Lines
When your child has developed strength in snipping skills you can encourage them to cut along longer lines by opening the hand after making a first cut in paper. The Snip Snip Scissor Skill resource provides lots of opportunity to reinforce this strength building activity by cutting along longer printed lines to reach the animal graphic
To achieve this skill your child might need to practice opening and closing their hand while they hold the scissors so they understand the cutting action involved
Cuts across along the line
This skill is introduced in the Snip Snip Scissor Skill resource using shorter lines that progressively increase in length until the student is cutting full lengths of paper. To make this activity fun, you can make puzzles using the graphics that have been cut in half or cut out the picture strips and reassemble them, glued to a coloured paper background. Your child will love the challenge of these tasks while having fun with scissor skills
TIP: Using glue sticks is also another great fine motor skill at this developmental stage
Cutting along curved lines
As your child's cutting skills increase, they will enjoy the challenge of cutting along different types of lines. These might be thick/thin lines or curved lines. The Snip Snip Scissor Skill resource gives opportunities to practice
Cutting out Shapes
When your child is feeling much more confident with the scissors, you can introduce them to cutting out different shapes. Once cut, the shapes can be played with in shape finding games or can be glued to coloured paper to reinforce shape naming
Scissor skills should be introduced before your child heads to school. The fun activities included in the Snip Snip Scissor Skills resource will assist your child to develop their cutting strength while enjoying the colourful and motivating pictures
Learn with Confidence

I have several projects in the getting started and mostly finished category and it is about time I shared them with you. All three projects will have multiple posts associated with them. I do want to create a library of projects and information and I think it is important to keep each project in its own set of posts; therefore, you'll get see the start of them throughout this week and into next week. Here's a little sneak peek of what's coming!
Be sure to come back over the next few weeks to see the details of all of these guys including the pattern artists names and where to get your own copies of the patterns!
I haven't mentioned it yet, but you should know that I have a tool problem. I love them, like an addict would. I swear, I honestly think I have picked projects in the past for no other reason than they require a new tool! I've had quite a list of little tools or gadgets that I've wanted to pick up for a while now. For some reason, last week, I went nutso and bought five of them! Once I decided I wasn't going to live another minute without them, I went to Jo-Ann to see which ones I could pick up. Boy was my heart heavy when none, I mean NONE, of them were on sale.
As disappointed as I was, I still desperately wanted to leave with something! I spotted a reasonably priced pair of quilting gloves and decided they were going home with me. Life seemed to slow me down and it was the next day before I started to work on the project that needed quilting. I wanted to practice fairly small free motion patterns and went right to work, forgetting about my gloves just that quickly. As I was working on my quilting, I noticed I was having some trouble moving the fabric around as smoothly as I wanted to. If only I could get a better grip on the top of the fabric….
Lightbulb! I have new gloves!
Let me just tell you – even my low end cheapie gloves made a night and day difference on my ability to move around that fabric. I should have known, I've seen and heard the professionals talk about and use them – probably because they work! I don't know why I was so pig headed about trying them out, but now I'm so glad I did. Now, I wouldn't even attempt to quilt without them! If it is something you have been thinking about – go get them! Today!
I found the other tools on amazon prime for a good price and went ahead and ordered those. They should be here tomorrow and I'm pretty darn excited. I'm not free for studio time until Wednesday, so it is going to be very hard to let that box of fun sit there until then! I have no idea if the other purchases will be as successful as this one, but I will certainly tell you if they are (or if they are really bad). Do you have any "go-to" tools that I can't live without? I'd love to hear about them!

Director Rodrigo Plá discussed his film 'A Monster with a Thousand Heads' at the Film Society's showcase of new Latin American cinema, Neighboring Scenes.
Developed in tandem with his wife's novel of the same title, Rodrigo Plá (The Delay, The Zone) crafts another airtight thriller, this time taking on a health-insurance system that prefers profit to adequate medical care. Refused treatment that would alleviate her terminally ill husband's pain—yet not the frustrations of dealing with maddening bureaucracy—Sonia (Jana Raluy) snaps and, gun in hand, single-mindedly goes up the chain of command with a vengeance. The series of increasingly harrowing provocations are interspersed with moments of dark comedy, and coalesce into a final, shocking climax.

With all the wonderful major advances in medicine, bioengineering & the world's connectedness, I think we can all agree we are but a few short years away from something going horribly wrong in a lab (probably in Europe) thus bringing on the inevitable Zombie Apocalypse. Are you ready?
This is a new hobby of mine. Preparing for these creatures was never really on my radar until a friend of mine, (who also has a gaming website, Confidant Gamers, check it out.) was driving in the car with me. We were talking about video games and the people we play with. Then the conversation took a turn, after mentioning another person he said, "He's one of the people who would be on my team when the Zombie Apocalypse begins. You gotta have the right people with the right skills, for example…" The next 10 minutes revealed 3 things to me:
- His thoroughness was unsettling. He had really thought this through!
- His list made for a team of people that could rival the skills of "Seal Team Six"
- I was not on this list…
What do I have to offer? Nothing! No skills worthy of fending off the undead. I would last a week at best. But no worries, I've got at least a few more years before the inevitable break out. I must figure out what skills I need to learn to become valuable in this new world. Being able to play guitar just won't cut it, unless I equip that guitar with a semi-automatic?
All I know is that this sign in Five Blow that I took a picture of today was a chilling reminder that I need to get better at my Zombie Apocalypse skills if I'm going to survive. Archery Class here I come! Maybe… Unless I get distracted by something else. Leave a comment telling me how you are preparing!

This one is going to be hard for me…
Because, honestly…
I'm not sure I can really do justice to how truly amazing these authors are!
WOW!… Just WOW!
Beth Wiseman writes a very different kind of story in this book. Even reading the synopsis, I was not prepared. It was intriguing and interesting and a story worth reading.
Kathleen Fuller has written a wonderful story about love and how it deals with boundaries.
Tricia Goyer has told us another wonderful story of the Kootenai Amish. It's always fun to read about those wily bachelors and the women they woo – even more so when there's pie involved!
Each story in this book is an amazing story and a wonderful look at how the Amish celebrate Christmas… or more specifically, Second Christmas.
But I have to say that my absolute favorite has to be
Her Christmas Pen Pal by Ruth Reid!
I was in so much trouble with my daughter AND my mother because I WOULD NOT put the book down until I had finished reading!
I laughed, I felt like crying, I gasped in shock and I cheered!
I have read Ruth Reid's writing before but I have to say that this is by far the best thing she has ever written! And I really… really really hope everyone loves it so much and she writes a whole series on it!
Because I'm just DYING to know more about the characters!
And that is the mark of a GREAT book in my opinion. I was actually sad when I turned the last page! Of course I had two more stories to read so it was a tiny bit of a consolation but I WANTED MORE OF THAT ONE!
And now I'm chomping at the bit for Ruth's next book to come out!
More from Thomas Nelson about An Amish Second Christmas:
Celebrate Second Christmas, a treasured, lighthearted time of community, with four Amish romances.
"When Christmas Comes Again" by Beth Wiseman
Katherine knows the first Christmas without Elias will be hard for her and the children. But when a mysterious Englischer appears with photographs of her late husband, Katherine begins to wonder what other blessings Christmas could have in store.
"Her Christmas Pen Pal" by Ruth Reid
Joy was expecting a wedding proposal from Henry; what she got instead was news of another woman. But when her heartfelt letter to a cousin ends up in the hands of a young cabinetmaker, an unexpected correspondence between two strangers gets interesting fast.
"A Gift for Anne Marie" by Kathleen Fuller
Anne Marie and Nathaniel have been best friends since they were kids. Now things are evolving . . . in ways everyone else predicted long ago. But when her mother suddenly decides to remarry in another state, Anne Marie's new chapter with Nathaniel looks doomed to end before it begins.
"The Christmas Aprons" by Tricia Goyer
Vanilla crumb pie has been Esther's mem's calling card for decades. But when Esther finally gets her hands on the secret recipe, she discovers that vanilla crumb pie is more than just dessert . . . it's bachelor bait.

Infinity Q35 2007
This Infinity Q35 looked innocent enough but do not let it fool you, this car had an interior that of which only a parent with 3 kids would understand! This daily driver took parent and kids to and from school, sporting events and work. After odors and unsightly stains took their toll, they called us and we took on the project head on and let us tell you it was a feat!
Package used : Modified Grand Prix, the modifications included a vent system flush, steam cleaning, carpet shampooing with disinfectant, litter removal and stain removal.
In the images below of the center transmission case and cup holders, you wouldn't believe what showed up in a black light! Some critters made this there home, but we evicted them on the spot 🙂
We made sure to tidy up and put everything in a nice pile and bagged loose items before we started so we don't destroy anything!

Discussing the issue with reissues is me plus Jonny Trunk from Trunk Records, Quinton Scott from Strut Records and deputy editor of The Wire, Derek Walmsley.
The podcast is split into three parts, the first tackling the divisive question of Record Store Day and the flood of major label reissues it facilitates, as well as the question of 'audiophile' pressings, heavyweight vinyl and what this actually means for the consumer. The second will take a look at the proliferation of reissues and compilations charting scenes from around the world and the ethical questions that arise from this, while the third will round things off by looking at archival reissues and what this means for music being made and released on vinyl today.

NAMM 2016: Two New Pedals by Digitech and DOD
Digitech and DOD are raising the bar with these two new pedals. Both possess unique characteristics that any guitarist will find irresistible! The Looking Glass by DOD is a rugged overdrive pedal with circuitry designed by the legendary, ultra-sensitive class A FET, featuring dual gain ranges and hybrid pre and post gain, bass and treble controls. Digitech's new pedal, the TRIO+ is the new-and-improved version of the TRIO pedal that was launched at NAMM last year. Essentially, it's a drummer and a bassist wrapped up in a single pedal, but slightly better and with more options than the previous version.
The DOD Looking Glass Overdrive
This pedal was developed in collaboration with SHOE pedals. The legendary Christopher Venter designed its circuitry. In order to reduce unwanted signals and buffers, this DOD pedal has been equipped with internal DIP switches. It's a powerful overdrive that will give your guitar a glassy boost. If you want even more, that's no problem - this pedal can also make your guitar create the most raw, psychedelic sounds.
The Digitech TRIO+ Band Creator and looper
Designing an effects pedal may seem simple, but nothing could be further from the truth. Digitech has employed their very best engineers to develop this pedal and the result is praiseworthy indeed. When you teach the TRIO+ your chord progressions, it simulates a drummer and a bassist to play along with you. You can choose out of 12 different genres and 12 different song styles per genre and create unlimited overdubs with the looper. The TRIO+ Band Creator features built-in guitar effects, Soft Click foot switch, a headphone output, volume knobs for bass and drums, a 9-volt power adapter, and much more.
Have we piqued your interest? Be sure to keep an eye on the product page below for more information!

MP- Dubai (email Matt)
Having previously been very fit in my late teens/ early 20's, I like many of my peer group, had put a large amount of weight on and become unfit once my career had taken off. I contacted Rob 4 months before my wedding and from the moment he came to my house for my assessment I felt at ease with him. Rob is not only a great trainer but a great bloke who makes training fun and never makes you feel uncomfortable when you struggle or find things hard. In the end I kept Rob on for 3 months after my training and am now carrying on the good work he started with me albeit a stone lighter in much better physical and mental condition in Dubai! Thanks Rob

I have used Rob Woollen Personal Training now for a few months and I must say that if it wasn't for Rob I would not have carried on training. I reached that stage where boredom had set in and I would turn up at the gym and go through my programme not knowing if I were training correctly or even if what I was doing was correct for me. Rob has varied my workouts and brought in new techniques and explained the whys and wherefores of what I do, so not only do I have confidence in what I am now doing but I also know exactly what I need to achieve on each of my solo visits without Rob. My time is precious and I don't like to waste it.
Robs approach is excellent. I assumed personal trainers were muscle-bound meat heads that were heavily into motivating people almost to military levels but Rob has carefully worked out my strengths and weaknesses and made many suggestions and guided me through each one. He has never pushed me too far or let egos get in the way, he just really works for his clients and obviously cares about what he is doing.
I have found Rob to be meticulous and scientific in his approach but in a fun and friendly way. I have total confidence in Rob and his training methods and would thoroughly recommend him to anyone who wants to get fitter, lose weight, help recovery of injuries or just take their fitness to a higher level.I have found myself to be fitter, stronger, more flexible and most importantly more confident in myself after only a few months. I am not aiming to be a fitness freak in any way, I just want to be healthy and live a longer life with my family and with Rob as my trainer I know I will continue to train with confidence.

I have now been in training with Rob of RWPT for around 4 months and it is without doubt the best money I have ever spent. Rob obviously keeps at the absolute forefront of his field in terms of attending seminars etc and his lucky clients reap the benefits of this with boxercise sessions etc being integrated into their programs. The sessions have been perfectly graduated in terms of difficulty and Rob always keeps things fresh and enjoyable, somehow knowing exactly just how hard to push his clients. For anybody wanting an extremely professional program offered by a charsimatic and likeable individual who excels in his field then look no further!

#321 Judy – The School Bus Driver – Maggie Weldon Maggies Crochet
Designer Linda K Kahle wrote: " I would like to dedicate this School Bus Dishcloth to the person who gave me the LOVE of driving a School Bus. Her name is Judy Lister and she lives in Topeka Kansas. Judy had been a very good friend for years. And of course she was a School Bus driver for the Seaman School Dist #345 and had been a driver for years. I lost my job with AT&T (they closed a lot of stores). Judy said one day, Hey, come be a School Bus Driver. When I stopped laughing – a lot – she took me to talk to her boss. And the next thing I knew, I was a School Bus Driver. And that was over 27 years ago. And I can… still say today… that this has been the BEST JOB I have ever had. When I came to Tucson, I had to go through an interview. One of the safety people asked me: Why do you want to be a School Bus Driver? Well I've been one for about 16 years but I do have an answer to that question. I look him in the eye and said: I was born to be a School Bus Driver – it's in my blood and it's the Best Job ever. He just shook his head and laughed. I have always said from the first day, it's all about the Kids. We the Bus Driver/Monitors are the first person they see in the mornings and the last one they see going home at the end of the school day. Our #1 job is the safety of our Students. In my eyes, you can't have a Better Job anywhere when you're working with Kids. They are OUR FUTURE. "

That is a heart warming story and I love your dishcloth. My nephew Jake is 5 and very disappointed that he doesn't get to ride the school bus until next year. I definetly will have to make him one. I love the look on his face when he says, 'Is that for me, TeTe!!!' Thanks for this wonderful design and your caring attitude for children.
Thanks for sharing the school bus. My grandchildren will love to give this gift to their school bus drivers.
I love this pattern. I drove a school bus for awhile and made school bus scarves that we a big hit. I can't wait to get several of these made up for all my friends who still drive and love and enjoy their job as much as I did.
This dishcloth is absolutely adorable. What a perfect gift for the person with everything.

Banksy Goes to Gaza
GAZA CITY -- The famous Bristol street artist has been on the move, with graffiti stencils on concrete rubble popping up in Gaza criticizing the 'world's largest open-air prison' -- including an image of a crying figure wearing a head scarf, a dark scene of children playing on a fairground ride, and a white kitten licking its paws.
Art collectors of ArtKabinett social media network admire the strong political points of Banksy's important street stencils.
Banksy posted photographs of his work to his official website, captioning the artist's stencil of the crouching figure simply as "Bomb damage, Gaza City."
The artist added: "Gaza is often describes as 'the world's largest open air prison' because no-one is allowed to enter or leave. But that seems a bit unfair to prisons -- they don't have their electricity and drinking water cut off randomly almost every day."
Banksy's stencil of a giant kitten appeared among rubble in Gaza to make a specific, point as the artist went on to explain.
The artist wrote on his website: "A local man came up and said 'Please -- what does this mean?' I explained I wanted to highlight the destruction in Gaza by posting photos on my website -- but on the internet people only look at pictures of kittens."
The anonymous street artist also posted a video (provided below) about Gaza on his website, entitled "Make this year the year YOU discover a new destination."
The spoof work sells Gaza as a desirable tourist destination to viewers. It includes the line: "the locals like it so much they never leave", which Banksy then counters with comments such as "(because they're not allowed to)".
Recently the street artist was in the news again for his Cheltenham mural "Spy Booth", which appeared last April on a house three miles from the top government listening post GCHQ.
The work was granted listed protection, after the mural created international news coverage when it was splattered with white paint, sprayed with silver and defaced with red graffiti. At one point a thief attempted to cut the mural from the wall while the community fought the property owner over ownership of the artwork.

The following is a short report from Grinder Jay Finkle (posted with permission):
my first and foremost impression was, it was a climber's course. it was uphill both ways. (actually, the turn around was at 4,400+ feet and the start was on the valley floor, so the return must have had some downhill.) at least it seemed like it was.
my second impression was, the footing was more technical and rockier than i thought it would be. this course had miles on end of the rough stuff. in the later miles when i was exhausted, the climbing and the rocky trails were a big challenge.
my third impression was how the sleep deprivation played a role in the race. i don't hardly hallucinate anymore because i'll just go ahead and give in and take a nap if i need to. i was planning on taking one or even two naps for this race if i wanted too. but i ended up just spacing out my caffeine and did not take any naps. around mile 65 on saturday afternoon i was getting a little loopy headed and, sure enough, i went off course for 15 minutes. the trail was well marked, i just wasn't paying attention. (i heard lots of people went off course, but i attribute that to the mostly night time running and not thinking straight. the course markings were excellent and plentiful.) when the second nightfall came, i started seeing faces in the rocks and sticks on the trail. if i looked way up the trail, i would see cabins with people on the porches and llamas and cows and horses in the yards. i knew all of this was imaginary, so i made myself only look at the trail about 10 yards ahead. not too close or too far away. this kept the images under control. still, when i would stop to pee the bushes and plants would move and vibrate.
the whole event was first rate. i can't think of any complaints. it was neat seeing some huge mountains in the distance and knowing you were crossing them. on the return trip, it was discouraging seeing some huge mountains in the distance and knowing you were crossing them. all of the entrants seemed to be well prepared and in the best shape they could be in. the hype must have made them wary of the race. vicky kendall outran me. actually, she outclimbed me. almost everyone had a good race.
one secret to doing well on this course will be how far you can get before the second nightfall. when the sun went down the second time, darkness and sleepiness and steep technical trail all combine to make your forward progress slow down.
i say this after every race and i am saying it gain after this one, "now i know i need to train harder so i can do better next year".

The Royal Commission and the recent closure of Freedom Insurance Group have had their corollary in a move by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) to propose a ban on unsolicited telephone sales of direct life insurance and consumer credit insurance.
The regulator announced today that such a ban would prevent the sale of complex insurance products which it said consumers did not need, want or understand.
ASIC said today it had opened a consultation process around its proposal to ban the unsolicited telephone sales model.
Commenting on the move, ASIC commissioner, Sean Hughes said the regulator would step in to stop practices that led to poor consumer outcomes and destroyed trust in the system.
"It is only fair that consumers have a proper opportunity to consider which insurance product best meets their needs and then compare alternative products, without feeling pressured to make a purchase," he said.
"Such a ban is consistent with the Financial Services Royal Commission recommendations, and will provide consumers with further protections from mis-selling practices now, ahead of wider law reform by Government. Without such a ban, we are concerned that consumers will continue to be preyed upon by peddlers of inappropriate insurance products, using pressure sales tactics."
