Interview: The Assist
April 10, 2015 in News
We spoke to Mikey Stanton, lead singer of rising Walsall indie-rockers The Assist ahead of their show at The Rainbow on Friday 10th April, to talk about their love of football, Walsall FC, their current tour and their influences. Check out the interview below:
You've had quite a year so far with you guys releasing new material and playing a crazy headline show at The Slade Rooms in February. How was the show?
The Slade Rooms was wicked, this years going to be exciting. we feel we have a good sense of direction at the moment with more music to offer later on in the year.
Your tour kicks off on the 3rd April in Manchester, and sees you play shows in Stoke, Cambridge, Blackpool and London. Other than Birmingham (obviously!), which other shows are you most excited to play?
We love Birmingham. The show at The Rainbow will be great. Blackpool however is a second home to us , we have a real love affair going on between the two cities and are looking forward to both shows.
You recorded a song in support of Walsall FC heading to Wembley. Despite the defeat (sorry guys!), the song made its way onto the ITunes Alternative chart. Tell us more about how the opportunity came about?
Basically, we released a song the same week Walsall won the semi-final [in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy], at the time we were in the local press so the Supporters Trust approached us to do the song!
You were even spotted on Soccer AM, how did you football skills fare? Did any of you attempt a 'Serge Pizzorno' moment?
As a band we pride ourselves on our football ability and are open to challenge any fellow musicians feeling brave! We won't name and shame, but there is always that one member of the squad who you have to carry. As for Soccer AM, let's just say the pressure got to us…
Your single 'In Your Ear' was released earlier this year and the track was featured on BBC Introducing. Can you tell us about the track and the creative process behind your material?
The track is about the struggle to get away from social situations whereby those under the influence of alcohol seem to do nothing but talk about themselves. All of our tracks begin as bedroom rehearsal material then are taken to the studio to create the sound we have.
What are the band's main influences and to what extent are they apparent in your own music?
All the boys in the band are into different styles and genres of music. Each of us do tend to play or sing in the way of which our favourite artists influence us to do so. However, due to the wide differentiation of music we all listen to, when everything comes together our influences aren't very apparent in the music we write.
Can you tell us more about how the band came about?
The Assist formed through mutual friendship, other than myself and Ryan being brothers. The four of us had rehearsed and played for years before getting together and finally creating a band of our own.
Are there any local bands we should be listening to?
We are all big fans of The Jacarandas.
What's next for the band in the rest of the year?
We have festival season to look forward to after the tour. Throughout the summer we will also begin recording our debut E.P set to be released sometime next year.
What can Birmingham audiences expect from your show at The Rainbow on 10th April?
An adventure!

I'm here with another shameless plug for a product I've been enjoying lately. Over the last couple of weeks, I've been in the process of quitting smoking. I'm passed the main hump but every once in a while I miss the act of smoking rather than the nicotine. This lead me to start digging around for some nicotine alternatives to smoking that I wouldn't feel tempted to use 24/7 (To avoid creating a new habit)
This has lead me to explore some options outside of the norm and I landed on a product I now really enjoy, Vitamin Vape.
Vitamin Vape
(use link for a 25% discount)
Vitamin Vape is a B12 delivery system and its also vegan which is a plus. I've had problems getting enough B vitamins in the past to the point of needing injections but after some reading, I leaned absorption through the lungs is incredibly efficient. It essentially gives me a bit of an energy boost that doesn't mess with me in the same way caffeine does. I can't have caffeine after noon because it messes with my sleep, but I'm always tired at work around 2:30 pm or so. This certainly perks me up. It is a little pricey, but with the provided link, you will receive a pretty decent discount to try on your own.
This sat in my shopping cart for ages because of the price but I am happy now that I finally bit the bullet and bought the three pack. I use it more often than I remember to take pills or sublinguals. It also itches my smoking scratch which is an added bonus.

Unanswered: simple programming environment
I'm trying to get my elder kid (12, technically adept but gets bored quick) into programming. I thought it might give him something constructive to do and perhaps I could help out. My problem is I just use vi to edit and then dump the programs on a web server and run them - that won't work with him - he'd really want one simple app that with a screen to edit the program, another to see the output and perhaps one for warning messages.
Any simple suggestions for a MS Vista env? Are there other languages I could try - I tried LOGO a while back but he got bored of doing shapes on screen. I looked at a gaming language (can't remember the name) which interested him but it was far too complex for him (and possibly me) to use.

as you've posted in the PHP section you could consider chami softs HTML Kit. it has lots of extensions for PHP and other stuff
HTML-Kit Features
if you are brave enough there are eclipse plugins for PHP
PHP can be either command line or webserver executedI'd rather be riding on the Tiger 800 or the Norton

Is Wallpaper Art?
The popularity of wallpaper has widely drifted on and off for decades. The medium has never widely been appreciated as 'art' – with the exception of French and Chinese papers from the early 1900's. Few in history have appreciated the influence and properties of wallpaper, considering it a trivial design backdrop. However, in recent years, many preservationists are diligently working to preserve archives for museum collections and historic buildings.
Back in Style
Wallpaper is getting a new lease on life in the design world. It is a perfect way to add whimsy and fun to your home and really add some personality to what can be otherwise boring spaces. There is a fresh take on textures, unexpected color combinations and delightful designs. When done right (with the help of a professional designer), wallpaper can be leaps and bounds above simple paint color. It is an 'art'. And, today's paper quality and durability is fantastic.
(Shown left: Beautiful wallpaper texture for foyer. "Coastal Sisal" in Blue by Thibaut. Available in 12 colorways.)
Best Rooms for Wallpaper
There was a day when wallpaper was in almost every room of a home; today we commonly see it in the foyer, powder room, and dining room. We love wallpaper in a foyer because it can really set the tone for a home and unify the colors throughout the house. The powder room is a great place to have some fun with color, scale, and design.
In addition, many of the top wallpaper designers also manufacture coordinating fabric. Consider complementing the room with window treatments, upholstery or pillows to really get a finished look.
(Shown left: 100% combed cotton sateen wallpaper. "Coral Gables" in Aqua by Thibaut. Available in 5 colorways.)
Choosing the Right Wallpaper
What are you looking for out of the space? A colorful backdrop? A subtle texture? A bold statement? Keep in mind scale when choosing – a smaller scale in one color will generally have a more subtle appearance. What is the base color of the paper? Do you want to brighten the space or make it cozy?
Is the wallpaper going into a high traffic area? In general, wallpaper can be wiped gently but always check with the manufacturer. Corners can show wear before other parts of the paper but there are clear corner covers that help or even a small molding looks pretty over the right pattern.

I know I weighed last week, and you probably weren't expecting a weigh in post since I've been doing them every 2 weeks. That being said, I restricted my calories again for the 2nd week in a row (not severely- around 1600-1900 a day, still low-carb), and checked the progress. Originally, it was for myself, but I'm happy, so I must share.
Last week: 383.5
This week: 379
Loss: -4.5 pounds!
Total lost: -76 pounds!
I'm really happy. I feel like I worked hard and earned this loss. I pushed through the funk early last week and stayed on track. Today, on what would have been my mom's 54th birthday, I know she would be excited for me. This week, as I leave for a vacation I was always self conscious to do, I know I can hold my head high and not stress out about what other people think of how I look. I've earned the right to be proud, and I'm going to take it for what its worth.
This whole weight loss roller coaster can be so emotionally hard, as well as the obvious physical challenges. It requires a sequence of correct choices to make progress: choosing to wake up to go to the gym, choosing to push while working out, choosing to fuel your body with good things, choosing to resist temptation whenever it's present… The past 2 weeks, I have made the right choices, and they've rewarded me. There are times along this journey where you truly feel you've made all the right choices for the week, but the scale doesn't reward you. It's a test to see how much harder you can push. Continue pushing, and there is no other alternative to success.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. "Damn!!!
"It's been what, a couple of All-Star games ago?"
I feel like Dave Chappelle when he recognizes me. I hadn't fled to Africa or anything, but I had no idea it had been that long since we'd locked eyes.
"'Bout that," I say, time traveling.
We dap, we hug.
In the past 15 months since he was traded here, I think I've done four feature stories on him. All saying the same thing: that he's the most valuable player in the League. No one understood. Not even him.
He stays leaned against the wall. Sony headphones in standard post-game position, covering his temples.
"So, what's been up with you?" he asks.
"Tryna stay outta jail." I answer.
"That ain't easy for a black man to do."
We both laugh.
I forgot how much I miss this brotha.
He was supposed to make the guarantee. After Game 3, before Game 4.
But he didn't.
It was like the entire city of Detroit was waiting. The Pistons' backs against the wall, down a game. This was where and when he was supposed to vent after practice on Monday that his team was going to win, without doubt. Security has always come through his voice in these times.
"I guarantee we will win Game ... "
That's the way it's been since he got here, whenever the Pistons needed to get lifted.
But this time ... nothing. Terminator X.
He kept it low. Let his Air Force 1s do the talking.
Maybe he wanted to see what the team would do without a guarantee. Maybe he was saving it in case, at the end of the night, the series was 3-1. Maybe he was just tired of being the one who has to ignite the unnecessary extra pressure that makes his team play better. Maybe he's waiting for Game 7.
I don't know. I didn't ask him.
Instead, he holds up the wall preaching another gospel. This one, Shaquille 32:1-4.
"Dog I'm tired, I ain't gonna lie," he says, so off-the-record that this shouldn't be posted. "Guarding that dude is ... "
He doesn't use words to explain. At 6-foot-10, 240, there are no words to explain.
"After I leave here, I'm going straight to the crib and straight to bed."
I could see it in his eyes. The battle is won, but he's still in a war.
Before the game, all over Detroit radio, all inside the Palace, everyone is wondering who to put it on. The blame. It had to be placed on one of them. Coach Brown for the extracurricular drama that the Cavs have created. The Body (Ben Wallace) for having only seven rebounds in the last game. Tayshaun for not being Tayshaun. Dan Crawford, Joe Forte and Greg Willard, the Game 3 refs, for the 54 foul shots they allowed the Heat to take.
In the end, all eyes landed on him. Sheed. So when he opened the second quarter with seven straight points including a 3, a breakaway dunk and a possession-changing rebound it was all but known that who you put it on is a much different issue than whose responsibility it is.
That's why the guarantee was needed. It's his responsibility.
It's never been easy to be a Rasheed Wallace fan. At times, he's made it more difficult than it needs to be.

Cleveland Cavaliers 2016 Champs Dad Hat Snapback by MITCHELL & NESS x NBA
Posted by Chip, September 28th, 2016 04:09 pm under Mitchell & Ness, NBA, Snapback
Posted by Chip, September 28th, 2016 04:09 pm under Mitchell & Ness, NBA, Snapback
The NBA season officially has started as most teams kicked off with Media Day 2016 – and this means one thing for the Cleveland Cavaliers, it's now time for them to defend their title. LeBron James has already made his point this early that he isn't contented with just one championship, but he does want to give the Cavaliers another one this coming season. The Cavaliers may have loss some key role players during the offseason, but they were also able to somewhat counter their losses with key additions as well – like Mike Dunleavy and Chris Andersen. For some Cavs fans the championship hangover isn't over just yet, and they can keep the spirit alive with this Mitchell & Ness Dad Hat with the year "2016" in Cavaliers-theme embroiered at the front panel. The Larry O'Brien Championship trophy icon is found over at the side. The base over the Snapback is done in Navy. This is currently up for purchase over here at www.4ucaps.com.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the busy weeks leading up to Christmas, singer/songwriter Brandon Heath has been helping listeners to slow down and take time to reflect on the real reason for the season with his latest album, Christmas Is Here.
In addition to including several Christmas classics, the album features three original songs. While listening to this album, Heath hopes people will be inspired to reminisce about their favorite Christmas memories, as well as combine old and new traditions that celebrate Christ's birth.
One of the new songs, "Just A Girl," is based on the perspective of the innkeeper who informed Mary and Joseph that there was no room available — except in the stable.
"I love telling stories through songs and wanted to write about a character that hadn't been talked much about," Heath said. "All we really know about the innkeeper is that he turned away Mary and Joseph. As I started telling the story about the innkeeper, I thought about the significance of his decision and wondered if he was remorseful about turning them away.
"I think it parallels all of us, that we all have these choices to make each day. Mary said yes, but the innkeeper did not. God can and wants to use us, but we have to be willing to say yes."
As Heath maintains a busy schedule touring across the country, his concerts help raise awareness for missions organizations such as Blood:Water Mission, Young Life, International Justice Mission, Food for the Hungry, Restore International and other human rights organizations. Through his music and message, Heath hopes people are inspired to act.
And on a personal level, for every pair of shoes that Heath purchases throughout the year, he commits to fill a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child — a project of Samaritan's Purse designed to spread the love of Christ to impoverished children around the world through a shoebox full of small gifts at Christmas.
"Not only does this project provide gifts for people who normally wouldn't receive gifts this time of year, but it is a tremendous opportunity to reach a lot of people and share the gospel, which is the ultimate goal of Samaritan's Purse and Operation Christmas Child. It's a very active way of showing people who Jesus is — through loving the poor and having a heart for children.
"It brings a child great joy when they open up their shoebox, because it's full of colorful things that now belongs to them. But more than the material possessions, it lets these children know that someone is thinking about them. It makes a child feel special, important and loved. Every child needs and deserves to feel that way."
Countdown to Christmas…
Favorite Christmas food: Pumpkin pie (I don't eat the crust, just the filling and lots of whipped cream!)
Favorite tradition: Going to a Christmas Eve service at my church. I love the candlelight service, and that's when the spirit of Christmas really gets to me.
Favorite Christmas carol: O Holy Night
Favorite album: Bing Crosby's White Christmas
Favorite movie: White Christmas (I love Bing Crosby!)
Are you the type of person who likes to peek at your presents before Christmas, or do you hold out? I hold out… I love surprises!
Do you know what you want for Christmas this year? The only thing that I want is Elfa, which is the shelving unit that you get at the Container Store. That's basically the extent of what I've asked my family for this year.

Garage Watch: It's even better the second time around
Murphy Chambers Cars Ltd, Nissan Dealer, Dundrum Road, Dundrum, Dublin 14
WE called to Murphy Chambers at around 5.30pm on a Friday and it was closed.
Going back the next morning we found a forecourt with 14 used models that, apart from Nissan, included BMW, Volvo, VW, Saab, Opel and Toyota.
All the cars outside were priced and carried details on the side windows. This sort of information is really helpful and saves having to ask too many questions. We picked out a really fresh 2006 1.2-litre Nissan Micra. It had only 17,000km on the clock and had one previous owner.
The colour was described as Cafe Latte – this really was a specimen car, apart from a few scratch marks on the wheel trims.
Beside our Micra, a prospective customer was finding it difficult getting his golf clubs into the boot of a Nissan Note.
Around such important matters do lives revolve. We kept our own counsel and went quietly inside. There we spotted, of all things, two cream Harley Davidson motorcycles with saddle bags attached. They had that collector look about them and, along with a beautiful 1953 MG TD, took pride of place in the showroom.
We were met by a young salesman who introduced himself as Alan Chambers. He invited us to have a tea or coffee. We declined, so he went off to get the keys of the Micra. We noted a customer waiting area, hot drinks, water dispenser, four seats, table and reading material.
We counted seven new Nissans on display; all were priced and there was plenty of brochures. With the Micra priced at €7,950 we asked, on Alan's return, for his best price.
He told us he just helped out on a Saturday. He introduced us to the sales manager, Gerard O'Brien, who said they would be prepared to give us €1,000 off and suggested that if it did not suit us to test drive the car right away we could contact either of them and drive the Micra at a time of our choosing.
We thanked them, chatted a bit and then left. It was nearly two months since that initial visit and we just happened (!) to stop again at the garage.
We found the Micra was now priced at €6,950. The number of used cars on display came to 24 – again with a wide mix of vehicles.
There were three new Nissans in the showroom and an 07 Saab, 05 BMW 3 Series and 06 Mercedes E Class automatic. You would be surprised at what you can see and learn on a second visit. Our second look reinforced our initial impression that this is one professional outfit.

The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine
W. W. Norton & Company, Feb 1, 2011 - Business & Economics - 320 pages
The #1 New York Times bestseller: "It is the work of our greatest financial journalist, at the top of his game. And it's essential reading."—Graydon Carter, Vanity FairThe real story of the crash began in bizarre feeder markets where the sun doesn't shine and the SEC doesn't dare, or bother, to tread: the bond and real estate derivative markets where geeks invent impenetrable securities to profit from the misery of lower- and middle-class Americans who can't pay their debts. The smart people who understood what was or might be happening were paralyzed by hope and fear; in any case, they weren't talking.
Michael Lewis creates a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his #1 bestseller Liar's Poker. Out of a handful of unlikely-really unlikely-heroes, Lewis fashions a story as compelling and unusual as any of his earlier bestsellers, proving yet again that he is the finest and funniest chronicler of our time.

text: Effects of Hiking Pole Inertia on Energy and Muscular Costs During Uphill WalkingFOISSAC, MATTHIEU J.1,2; BERTHOLLET, ROMAIN1; SEUX, JULIEN1; BELLI, ALAIN1; MILLET, GUILLAUME Y.1Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise: June 2008 - Volume 40 - Issue 6 - p 1117-1125 doi: 10.1249/MSS.0b013e318167228a APPLIED SCIENCES: Biodynamics Abstract Author Information Introduction/Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of using hiking poles with different inertia on oxygen cost (V˙O2) and muscular activity. Methods: Eleven subjects walked at 3 km·h−1 on a treadmill inclined at 20% grade. Three mass (240, 300, and 360 g), load distribution, and walking frequency (preferred, −20% and +20%) conditions were tested. Each subject also walked without poles and carried a 360-g mass. V˙O2 and average EMG (aEMG) of nine muscles from lower (soleus, gastrocnemius lateralis, vastus lateralis, biceps femoris, gluteus maximus) and upper (latissimus dorsi, biceps brachii, triceps brachii, and anterior deltoid) limbs were recorded. Results: Using poles significantly reduced lower limb muscle aEMG values (P < 0.001) by about 15% and increased upper limb muscle aEMG values (P < 0.001) by about 95%. Hand-masses of 360 g did not result in an increased V˙O2, and the only modification in terms of muscular activation was greater biceps brachii activity (+55%, P = 0.006). Biceps brachii and anterior deltoid activity were also influenced by pole mass and load distribution (P < 0.01). Walking at high frequency increased both aEMG and V˙O2, whereas walking at low frequency redistributed the muscular work from the thigh muscles to calf and upper limb muscles although this did not lead to an increased V˙O2 compared with that at preferred frequency. No interaction between mass and frequency was found for aEMG or V˙O2. Conclusion: Using poles and changing frequency have important effects on muscle recruitment, whereas the effects of mass were limited when considering poles available on the market. 1PPEH Laboratory, Jean Monnet University, Saint-Etienne; and 2Decathlon Research Center, Biomechanics Laboratory, Villeneuve d'Ascq, FRANCE Address for correspondence: Matthieu Foissac, MSc, 4, bd de Mons.

THE pupils of Holly Lodge Girls' College are on the move - thanks to the generosity of ECHO readers.
Work is nearly complete on the refurbished art block at the West Derby school after the ECHO's successful Buy A Brick campaign last year. Money raised, together with cash from Liverpool education authority, the school budget and a winning lottery bid, all added up to #900,000 to spend on improving the school's art building, Sandheys.
As Holly Lodge won specialist arts status in 2001, there was enough money to provide the equipment but the building desperately needed work to make it fit for the 21st century.
Now pupils are starting to enjoy lessons in the new classrooms built alongside the Victorian art block.
Jackie Ley, art director at the Queens Drive school, said: "Community facilities will include an art gallery with artwork from students and local artists.
"We have also received further funding from the Royal Society for Nature and Conservation to develop an interactive outdoor garden area."
To discuss the centre's facilities, please write to Susie Wood at Holly Lodge Girls' College, Queens Drive, West Derby, L13 0AE.

Overweight, obesity
Obesity and being overweight is one of the biggest problems we face nowadays. In Europe and the United States there are more than 70 million obese and 163 million overweight people. This is worrying for our future as statistics show that in developed countries the proportion of overweight and obese people will double every 5 years.

Two anonymous media watchdogs on Tuesday explained how CNN host Fareed Zakaria plagiarized on 26 occasions dating back to 2011.
The site Our Bad Media, published by anonymous Twitter users @blippoblappo and @crushingbort, cited more than 26 instances where Zakaria, host of the CNN program "Fareed Zakaria GPS," failed to properly attribute sources in his reporting dating back to 2011.
In the first of the 26 examples cited, the group notes that Zakaria lifted, without attribution, from a documentary entitled Justice for Sergei for his "What in the World" segment in 2011. The documentary, released in 2010, chronicled the death of Sergei Magnisky, a man who helped expose one of the largest tax frauds in Russia's history. Zakaria used portions from the documentary without any trace of attribution.
Advertisement - story continues below
In a "What in the World" segment in 2013, the group demonstrates how Zakaria used the same language and statistics in the same order from an article published by The Washington Post concerning a speech given by Attorney General Eric Holder on the prison population in the United States.
TRENDING: MSNBC Host Demands Entire White House Staff Resign
After going through 26 different examples of clear plagiarism, the group asserted that anyone blaming this on staff or interns should look to Zakaria's first article he wrote for The New Republic published in 1987. The duo continues:
"At the time, Zakaria was a 23-year-old graduate of Yale with a bright future ahead of him. He didn't have his Washington Post column, his CNN show or his doctorate from Harvard. All he had was an opportunity to write a column on Olver North and the National Security Council for The New Republic. And he totally blew it by plagiarizing over and over from The New York Times."
Advertisement - story continues below
Politico's media critic, Dylan Byers, says these revelations, totaling more than three dozen, are "the most damning to date." Zakaria was suspended for plagiarism by CNN and Time in 2012, according to The Washington Post and Reuters.
Our Bad Media is the same organization that cited former BuzzFeed writer Benny Johnson for plagiarism. Johnson is now Digital Director for National Review.

Longflint are new. We set ourselves a challenge to create a beautiful new drink for those that love everything 'craft' but steer more towards the cocktail end of the spectrum.
At the heart of our ambition was the use of quality, fresh and natural ingredients. If nothing else, we believe this is the only way to create things that taste as great as they can.
Digging deep into our background in craft beer, food and drink, we've created three cocktails from scratch. Each recipe highlights an individual ingredient and results in a long, lightly carbonated bottled cocktail.

One of the things I love most about homeschooling is the freedom to get out into the world and experience more, do more, learn more just by living a full life. When we did public school, it wasn't as possible for our family to do much outside of the school day routine and homework. The flexibility to take trips when everyone else is back to school is something we take advantage of, often.
Like this week, even. In our local area, school started on Monday. Instead of joining the throngs of families walking to school or carpooling, we went camping. It was the perfect week for us to go, because camp sites were available, and the Great Sand Dunes weren't crowded. Win.
If you ask me when we're starting school, I'll say we started last month, and in fact, today was our last day before my first scheduled break. Say what?! You better believe it. I'm ready for a break. We're taking it. We spent the last 6 weeks easing into school and new habits (which of course we're still needing to work on…). In the last 6 weeks, we got back into our morning routine: breakfast, chores, prayers, read-aloud time. We spent some time dusting off math books and dipping our toes back into math lessons. Most of all, we spent time enjoying the world around us. Nature journaling is going to take a higher priority this year, and I'm even going to journal with the kids. After the first 2 or 3 times out, I was definitely itching to sketch and write along side them, and brought my own journal along last week. Serving others will also be a high priority, and take shape in all kinds of ways. This month we worked on bags for the homeless, filled with snacks and waters, to keep in our van and hand out when we see people on the street corners. Next month will be a new project.
We spent the last 6 weeks and the majority of our first session of the 2014-2015 school year living and learning through our experiences. (does this make me an unschooler at heart?)
We camped, twice.
We prayed together, and spent time in Adoration together (even though by the end of each Holy Hour I was begging God for the grace to make it through our hour without losing my cool at the wriggly boys).
We read books, for fun.
We baked and cooked meals together.
We gardened, failed at gardening, and tried again.
We began immersing ourselves into various things which provide hands-on, experiential, life-long learning lessons and memories.
It was awesome.
And since it was so awesome, I've decided that I'm going to plan our next weeks with a new focus in mind: experiences which aren't to be missed, well, aren't to be missed. Math lessons can wait. Phonics will always be there. But opportunities to bake brownies together for my husband's squadron are fleeting, new neighbors to bring a welcome gift to won't always be new neighbors, the weather won't always be so perfect for a hike, the fall colors will change from vibrant to dull all too quickly…
Keeping in mind that we don't have all the time in the world, and I do have to continue keeping us fed and clothes clean, I'll have to plan carefully, but still be flexible. I'm going to plan margin in my days, so when something unexpected happens, there's room in my schedule and our routine. Also, in order to keep myself from becoming a lazy-bones homeschool mom, I'll be planning for our most important things so we can stay focused and work towards a goal. However, instead of working to finish a text, we'll be working towards mastery. A fuller understanding of material is much more desirable that being able to say "we finished all of our math text, phonics lessons, and science text!" If we finish the books but haven't gained anything by plowing through the pages, then our time wasn't well spent. Quality over quantity.
And that's that. My dream homeschool experience, in a nutshell, is living learning, and we're actually working towards that in our home this year. In the next week as I flesh out this vision a bit more, I'll be going to back to re-read "Teaching From Rest" (which is on sale right now! If you've been eye-ing it, now is the time to snatch it up! The sale runs through August 31). The book is such a lovely and encouraging read, it's refreshing even for seasoned homeschool moms. I know it will be just what I need as I get us ready for the rest of our year. Again.
I will revisit the ebook about planning for peace and print more planning pages to write out those plans which are swirling and building in my head.
Another book I'm reading this week and beginning to love is A Little Way of Homeschooling, which is series of personal stories about how several Catholic families make unschooling work in their home. (I really must be an unschooler at heart…though I really also love classical learning.)
Finally, I'm going to spend quiet-ish moments (while the kids play outside, read, craft, or more likely–watch movies to give me peace) going through the lessons on the Simplified Organization e-course I told you about.
As I go, I might come back and share what is helping me, especially from the e-course. Would that be helpful to you, also? What about if I share some of my plans for the year, to keep learning coming alive for my children? What are you most looking forward to in your upcoming year? Share with me! Let's inspire and encourage each other.

"What you've seen is wrong. I beg you, don't let a few people shape your view on an entire faith. Because what I've seen in so many others is beautiful."
My complaint? It's too short. 99 minutes, c'mon! Maybe there should be a "Mooz-lum 2".
You've seen it? is it any good?
never heard of this. but now i do! thanks a lot. will watch this.
gonna write about this in my blog. dont mind if share on this ya?
Aishah: Yup watched it in full after I wrote this post. Definitely worth watching! 99 minutes only too.
purplelurve: Of course, feel free to =)
thanks sha for sharing this. am going to watch it later when eshan sleeps =)
This sounds amazing! Thanks for the post, will watch it tonight after my exam :)
This sounds amazing! Thanks for the post, will watch it tonight after my exam inshaAllah :)
Perhaps with your permission, I can share this link with others?
I remember watching this trailer aaages ago. I'm a bit skeptical of this movie just by watching the trailer. I've no idea whether it'd be any good. Would hate it if it turned out to be one of those soppy cliches. Hmmm.
Until now i was a silent reader, but i can´t anymore, after watching the trailer i have goosepimples!! is it posible that after all we have a decent movie about muslims?!! I hope so, i can´t wait to watch it!
I want to thank u Shahira about this post (and the entire blog :) i feel really conected to you in a lot of ways (since I live in a non-muslim country too) i would like to comment and tell u a lot of things but my english is so limited :( (i´m trying to improve it insha-allah) you´re doing a great job!
I've watched it!! Great story which is based on true event.
Gonna watch it soon! Ive heard its really good too, thanks! :)
Kak Yunne: I hope you will like the movie =) Do tell us what you think of it in your blog (if you have the time!)
Moccona: Definitely watch it after exams lol. Good luck with them by the way! Oh and you don't need to ask for my permission. It's not my link so feel free to share it.
RS: You know, from the trailer it does seem a bit cliched but when I watched it I was surprised that it's not quite as cliched as one would think it would be. I was hoping the movie would portray a more positive relationship between Muslims but the reality is we as Muslims do need to look at ourselves and see what are the mistakes we are making that are deeply affecting the lives of people around us.
khawla: Aww thank you for breaking out of your silence to tell me how you feel. It means a lot to me. Your command of English seems fine to me so don't be afraid to comment again okay? =)
Hana: Yeah! It's different kan? I hope to see more movies / documentaries by Muslims in the future.
Smiley: No problem. Hope you enjoy the movie!
I just finished watching it a couple days ago. I've been waiting since before it came out to see it. Thank you for sharing the link. It was such a great film!!!!
sure sha. i finally did. i just finished writing the review on this film and posted in my blog =) i hope people don't think i'm such a critic hahahaha

Check Out This Fantastic Poster for Jeremy Saulnier's 'Green Room'
by Alex Billington
September 2, 2015
Source: TIFF
Nobody leaves. This poster rules! Thanks to a tip from our good friends @TheFilmStage, a new poster has debuted for Jeremy Saulnier's film Green Room. Saulnier is the filmmaker who brought us the breakout indie revenge thriller Blue Ruin, and this is his latest feature. It's about a young punk rock band, comprised of Anton Yelchin and Imogen Poots (seen above), who find themselves trapped in a secluded venue after stumbling upon some skinheads. The film is apparently extremely violent, but earned rave reviews at its Cannes premiere. Saulnier also got an upgrade on the cast - Patrick Stewart, Alia Shawkat, Mark Webber are all in this, too. That's probably why this isn't being pushed as a main poster, but damn is it still a fine poster.
Here's the first poster for Jeremy Saulnier's Green Room (we're not sure who the artist is) direct via TIFF:
Green Room is written and directed by Jeremy Saulnier (of the indie thriller Blue Ruin). Anton Yelchin and Imogen Poots (both of Fright Night) play a young punk rock band who find themselves trapped in a secluded venue after stumbling upon a horrific act of violence, fighting for their lives against a gang of white power skinheads. Patrick Stewart also stars as Darcy Banker, the unflinching and industrial leader of a ferocious white supremacist fiefdom based in the Pacific Northwest. Alia Shawkat, Mark Webber and Macon Blair also star in the film. After first premiering at the Cannes Film Festival and Toronto Intl. Film Festival, Green Room will be arriving in US theaters likely early next year. Stay tuned for more updates. Thoughts?

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Not much went right for Jacksonville (Fla.) First Coast as they were defeated by Bradenton (Fla.) Manatee 40-0 in the FHSAA class 7A state championship game on Friday night.
One bright spot for the Buccaneers was the the play of junior linebacker Daniel McMillian (6-foot-2, 220 pounds). McMillian posted 12 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and a blocked field goal in the loss.
McMillian, who claims more than 40 scholarship offers, said now that his junior season has come to a close, he is planning on visiting several colleges. Though he can't take official visits until his senior season, McMillian knows of one school who will get a visit.
"I plan on visiting a whole bunch of colleges coming up," McMillian said. "Especially for my officials [visit] my senior year, Florida will be one of them, and I'll commit at the U.S. Army game."
McMillian said he has been in constant contact with Florida defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.
"He's a great man," McMillians said about Quinn. "I can talk to him about anything. He'll be honest and truthful. He'll tell me what I'm playing and he'll be up front with me on what I need to do better. When I am doing good, he'll tell me that too. He thinks I can play outside linebacker because I'm fast and can make a lot of plays, and I agree with him.
In addition to Florida, McMillian said he is hearing a lot from Alabama, Miami, Florida State, Clemson and North Carolina.
McMillian said he has a long way to go in the process and is not sure when he will narrow down his choices.
"I don't really have a top three or top five," he said. "Every night before I go to bed, I hit my knees and pray, 'Lord lead me in the right direction.' "
McMillian's isn't the only standout linebacker for First Coast. His teammates Reggie Northrup and Joseph Jackson, who are committed to Miami and North Carolina respectively, combined for 16 tackles in the loss.

sam's okay
Sam is okay for now. He appears to have a bladder infection which is not good but at least is treatable with antibiotics. The sad news is that he apppears to have doggie alzheimer's, he has lost a lot of weight, about 10% of his body mass, and his back legs are definitely weakening.
He's still a happy dog though so we don't need to make any decisions now. If he continues to lose weight that will be very concerning but we are going to add in canned food to his diet and see if that helps.
I've realized that every pet I've ever had has either died when I wasn't around or I didn't have to make the decision to euthanize them; someone else did, usually my Mom. Having to think about that decision is so hard and I'm not ready to do that. I guess I'm selfish and want to keep Sam around a lot longer. We love him so much we somehow didn't notice how much he had aged. For now we're just focussed on giving him his antibiotics and trying to see if we can help him gain back some weight.

A former Marine who survived three tours in Iraq and a knife assault five months ago has been murdered in a mysterious attack while installing cable TV in a California home, police say.
Authorities said they don't know why a man inside the home where 25-year-old Trevor Neiman was working Monday grabbed a hammer and fatally beat the war veteran-turned-cable technician, The Los Angeles Times reported.
"There was no exchange of words. There was nothing that occurred before the unprovoked attack," San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Jody Miller told the press.
Police said the alleged attacker, 45-year-old Johnny Acosta, initially fled the home, believed to belong to some of his relatives, but later turned himself in, the Times reported.
Casie Barnard, Neiman's 26-year-old sister, told the Times that Neiman was trying to build a life after serving in Iraq from October 2003 to 2008, recently getting married and buying a house in May.
That same month, someone attacked Neiman with a knife during a party at his home. The attack left him with broken ribs, a punctured lung and a severe head wound.
Police arrested three people on suspicion of attempted murder in that attack, the Times reported.
"When he came home from Iraq, we thought, 'Oh, OK,' he got home safe," Barnard said. "We don't have to worry."
Acosta his being held without bail on suspicion of murder and is set to appear in court Thursday, the Times reported.Click here for more on this story at the LATimes.com.

Make sure you go past the "Danger" sign so you can get to the actual waterfall. Don't expect a lot of water, but the simplicity of the waterfall is beautiful.
easy well maintained trail with steps and bridges the waterfall was beautiful
There is a little bit of water in the creek, but the fall is dry. The last leg of the trail is currently still closed for safety reasons.
Good trail, short and nicely shaded the entire walk by tree coverage. Waterfall is more of trickle now but looks as though it used to be a bit more vast. Nonetheless still worth the short walk.
Great short trail with beautiful waterfall
it was a short walk to a beautiful water fall. only downfall was there was a bunch of kids running around with no parental guidance. they were screaming and throwing their trash on the ground. such a shame.
Although very beautiful, it's super short walk. Has become very popular and not very peaceful.

2006 Kia Sorento - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Vehicle2006 Kia Sorento LX 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5M)
ReviewI just bought my Kia less than a week ago and these reviews are scaring me. Probably should have looked at reviews before I bought... Anyway, I really like everything about the car so far except today I turned on the head lights for the first time, and the dome and map lights come on with the head lights and so far I can't get them to turn off while the headlights are on. I really don't want to drive at night with all the lights on inside the car. Shucks. I hope this wasn't a bad choice.
Best FeaturesThe power, the handling and the interior style/comfort.
Are you the author of this review?Update Your Review
on 09/11/12 09:49 AM (PDT)
I have had my Kia Sorento for 5 yrs. One day, all the inside lights were on and I figured out that the dimmer switch down to the left side of the steering wheel controls this. When it is all the way rolled forward, and you turn on the headlights, all the lights come on. So just roll it down and they should turn off. Once I found this feature it actually works well when you want to quickly turn on all the lights at night. The problem I have is that the individual light buttons do not turn the lights on. Especially when set to come on when the doors open. One day they work, the next they don't. Electrical problems seem to be the primary problem with my Kia. Good luck with yours.Report it

Event: Lomé will host the first Africa-Israel Summit in October 2017
The Minister of Foreign Affairs Robert Dussey met Monday in Jerusalem with the premier Israeli Benjamin Netanyahu. A meeting which follows the official visit made by president Faure Gnassingbé in August 2016 in Israel. At the time, the two parties had agreed to organize a Africa-Israel Summit in 2017 to Lomé.
It's now official, and it will be held from 16 to 20 October 2017 in Lomé. This first event of its kind, designed by Africa-Israel Connect and proposed the two governments meet in the same place for 5 days official Israeli and African.
Benjamin Netanyahou will attend the African works as well as many heads of State and Government. The conference will focus on the themes of security, the fight against terrorism, but also on issues related to the partnership in the areas of agriculture, energy water, health. The Summit will also focus on the use of new technologies as a lever for development.
Furthermore Mashav, the Israeli Agency for international cooperation, will attempt to provide solutions to the challenges facing Africa. The Summit will be above all a unique opportunity for many African countries to strengthen their political and economic ties with the Jewish State.
In parallel, the Togolese capital will host a major exhibition during which Israeli and African businesses can show their expertise in various areas critical to the development of the continent and develop new partnerships. The choice of Togo to host the first Africa-Israel Summit was natural for leaders of AfricaIsrael-Connect. Indeed, the country is both a true friend of Israel and a dynamic hub in West Africa.
This Summit illustrates the dynamism of Togolese diplomacy led by president Faure Gnassingbé.
During the interview with Robert Dussey, Benjamin Netanyahou said that his country was excited to participate in the Summit as a great accelerator of development for relations between Israel and the African continent. In addition, he praised president Gnassingbé for his contributions to the israelo-africain reconciliation and his loyal friendship.
' The ambition of president Faure Gnassingbé is to meet all of Africa in Lomé to define the contours of a new partnership between Africa and Israel. This Summit will allow to draw the borders of the rebirth of the historic relationship between our continent and the Jewish State ', stressed the head of Togolese diplomacy.
The Israeli Prime Minister eager to diversify its alliances, toured official last July that led him in Uganda, Ethiopia, the Kenya and Rwanda. First visit of an Israeli leader for 30 years.
During this trip, Netanyahu said 'Israel returned to Africa and Africa returned to Israel'.
This diplomatic momentum continued at an accelerated pace: in late July, Jerusalem announced the restoration of diplomatic relations with Guinea while talks were committed with Chad, Muslim country located in the Sahel, strategic front against jihadism.
In addition, sourced information and credible State of informal channels are discussed with Sudan and Somalia.
Conditions for a close dialogue between Israel and Africa are now met through or as a result of the geostrategic context and economic imperatives.
' Israel has the solutions to the problems of Africa. If this country is not the only country has master the technologies needed by the continent, it is the most dynamic ', said Faure Gnassingbé during a high-level meeting in New York with Benjamin Netanyahu and other African leaders, including Paul Kagame of Rwanda in September 2016.
Israel, no offense to the captious, is the fruit of a struggle for national liberation and the nation-State a people who have been hit hard by history.
In fact, Israel is able to dialogue and to cooperate in a spirit of brotherhood and mutual understanding with the martyred people of the continent.
So this opportunity to help Africa's renaissance would allow Israel to follow the biblical injunction to be 'A light unto the Nations'.
' Among the despair of peoples, which, so far, is remained intractable, and including the tragedy cannot be understood fully by a Jew, there is another equally important issue, that of Africa (…) And although some will find fault, I said that when I have been witness to the redemption of the Jewish people, my people, I could then only wish the redemption of the peoples of Africa.', said Theodore Herzl, the father of Zionism in 1897.
More than a century later, the Africa-Israel Summit is a form of tribute and the beginning of a new era for the African continent.

Guys who own a 2014 TJet Linea and who got one recently please answer my query. Does the Linea come with illuminated door sill?

Door sill [illuminated or non illuminated] is not a standard fitment. You would need to buy it. I bought a non illuminated one when I got my TJet last year.
@Saket Sidana Ok. How much did it cost for the non-illuminated ones. Guess I have to check with the service centre here for stocks of illuminated ones.
Hi...My Linea did not come with door sills(non-illuminated). I got them fitted separately from showroom as part of a accessories pack which included rear spoiler, neck rest,door visors etc...
