The Year Of The Goat 2015
Besides being busy with work, it is usually the period that I would start registering to be a volunteer at the upcoming volunteer e-filing exercise, that will happen on 21 March 2015 this year and will end on 12 April 2015. My mum & my IRAS volunteer friends have encouraged me to continue in this activity, which I have been on for the past 10 years. I am glad to say that I have acceded to their request and I will be leading a team of volunteers at The Serangoon CC again this year.
I would like to thank my team mates & liaison officer for showing the faith in me to lead the team. I was quite surprised that I managed to form the team within a day, will and way before the official registration was out. I would like to welcome 3 new team members to my team as well. I will not be revealing the names here, as there is a volunteer, who is jealous of the minimal effort that I made to form up my team, saying that my team was made up of a majority of senior volunteers.
Just to set the record straight, I had only made a phone call to each volunteer who have joined me in the last year's session, and asked them to indicate if they wanted to continue this year. I was rather surprised that most of the regular volunteers of the team indicated that they wished to continue. In fact, 1 of them, pulled her friend to join us, while the other, was pulled in by liaison officer, as the centre, she used to volunteer at, was no longer in the list. I was quite surprised that this person decided to join us, as the distance from her place to the centre was rather far. I also did not expect this person, to pull in another two volunteers to join the team. The final member of the team that completed the team was a returning volunteer, who volunteered in the past.
I have always believed that if you have treated people with respect, the other party will treat you with respect. I have always been willing to share my knowledge about what I know, instead of bragging about my experience. As I feel that, even with my work experience in an accounting firm as tax senior, there will be some areas which I am not aware as I have not come across at work.
I hope that this year's exercise will be smooth flowing, given that the number of centres have been drastically reduced. I hope that the plans that I have put in place with the liaison officer, is sufficient to cater to the expected crowd.

Whirlwind Month With Full Of Shocks & Surprises
Hello, to all the readers of my blog, sorry to have kept you all waiting for my 1st blog post for 2015.
It has been a whirlwind January for me. I have been pretty busy the last month due to the issues that is happening in my office and I am expected to be busy this month as well after something unexpected happened at work last Friday.
This incident made me realise that you should treasure your life, every minute of it, be happy, be positive and try to banish negative thoughts and negative people around you and do what you enjoy doing.
Just hope that the dark clouds hovering over my office matters will be over, and all of us face it with positive mindset.

My Year 2014 In Review
Frequent readers of my blog would know that I would usually do a review to usher in the new year.
The year had been fraught with air disasters. The disappearance of MH370, bombing of MH17 & the crash of QZ8501 were partly the reason that made me not wanting to fly for holiday. The other reason was my work, which I will elaborate later.
It has been a busy year for me at work, due to changes to the PIC Scheme. Some clients have chosen to take advantage of the generous PIC Cash Payout that our government has put in place, but end up doing the form themselves wrongly, thus we are spending more time than usually budgeted to correct the errors.
We are already so busy that we had no time to play office politics, but I am surprised why some people choose the time when we are busy to sow discord among colleagues, try to make boss angry or unhappy by giving issues at work. Everyone in the working world should know that you should do whatever job that your boss has assigned.
The atomsphere at work was pretty bad this year. I hope it will be better in this year as one of the key factors to the disharmony has been removed. I shall not go into details as to what happened as we have been placed on gag order not to disclose anything. Personally, I do not wish to say anything further, otherwise there would be people who would misinterpret and I would get the brickbats again.
IRAS Volunteer & Grassroots Work
This year marked my 10th year volunteering for this exercise. I decided to take it upon myself to set up a tax queries team among the volunteers to get fellow volunteers in the tax industry to help the others as I felt that the IRAS helpline was a little difficult to get through, and they had to serve 22 centres of volunteers. I also took it upon myself to conduct additional training session for volunteers who are keen to learn more. It was certainly good to see returning volunteers continuing in the exercise. The high take up rate resulted in the exercise being closed for registration in 4 days after it was opened.
Grassroots work took me to a new arena, as I decided to take up the Certificate in Community Development. I thought it will be good for me so that it will be able to help me more in my community work.
I am also glad to share that I have been appointed as treasurer of my RC again for a 2-year term starting today.
I just have this to say about the friendships that I have in the last year. You win some, you lose some. When you are in need, those who stick with you are those who have faith in you and will walk the path with you. I am glad to say I have quite a number who have been standing by me when I am in need.
A year where my brother graduated from the university and stepped into the workforce. Although his first job did not turn out well, I certainly hope it will be better when he starts his new job on coming Monday.
I always get asked this question since I was 25. Last year drew a blank again. I have been asked by friends and family to try to get myself attached. After a nasty experience of giving out my number to a possessive gal last year, after just chatting with her for 15 minutes, I prefer to take my time to know the other person better before plunging into a relationship. I would like to thank my friends for their efforts to pair me up with close friends.
I had the opportunity to attend the NDP at the Float last year. Although it was only the Preview, it was indeed a fun experience catching the NDP live. I would like to thank my friends, Angela, Meiqi & my brother for accompanying me to attend the NDP with me.
I hereby wish everyone have a fruitful year ahead. May the year be filled with good tidings ahead. =)

Thanks for The Birthday Wishes
It has been a long while since I last blogged. I had been busy with work, no thanks to the corporate tax deadline. It was fortunate that I have asked my boss to participate in the Form C e-filing trial. I was quite glad that she actually agreed to this, given that she was a little apprehensive about e-filing when I joined in 2008, and put me in charge of all the liaison works with the IRAS officers.
The year has been tough as companies tend to be aware about the PIC Scheme. Some companies felt that they have grasped the concept of PIC Cash Payout and tried to save cost by getting the so called consultants to do the claims for them. Some even did it themselves. These people ended up making mistakes in the PIC Cash Payout claims, thus making us spend more time in working on the tax computations as we needed to amend their mistakes.
It did not help that my department was embroiled into some office politics, which meant that some time, meant for more productive work was wasted on this.
Despite all these, I am glad to say that I am still enjoying my job, despite the seven year itch approaching. This year will mark my 11th year in the industry.
Despite having to work on my birthday, I decided to keep my spirits up by buying a cake for my colleagues to share my joy for reaching 35 years old. I am glad that most of my colleagues enjoyed the cake. =)
I would like to thank my friends, colleagues & relatives for the well wishes and gifts. =)

Seeing Fruits Of Labour
It has been a while since I last blogged. I have been busy with my work & grassroots volunteer work.
Today, I am going to share a story, or should I say my thoughts about working life. Maybe after reading this, you guys will understand why I am still in this company after 6 3/4 years.
Here it goes:-
In 2003, I was a fresh NS Man, having gone through the rite of passage as an Admin Support Assistant, despite my disability. I was always being misunderstood by officers in the course of my NS stint, perhaps due to my disability and this was the first time that SAF had people of my disability in their ranks. I am glad that I managed to fulfill my obligations as a male Singapore citizen, although I got a satisfactory grade at the end of my service. The stint would actually allow me to look at things from different perspectives.
My first job, which I found in 2003, lasted half a year. I left the company after feeling stressed by one of the management level staff, who kept pushing me a lot of work and giving me a lot of stress by scolding me. It did not help that another management level staff felt that I should not be employed due to my physical disability.
After a frantic search for half a year, due to the recession and job interviewers who minded my disability and wanted to cut my asking price, I found a job which I stayed for close to 4 years. Although I was not allowed to use Paul as my name for my work at this company, as my boss at that time claimed this name is also the name of his son. In the end, I left the company due to the company's management showed distrust & lack of faith in my work. Also, I felt that the pay I was getting did not match that of my peers that I was getting.
My current job took me about a year to find. During this period, I nearly lost faith on a few occasions as prospective interviews drew a blank due to they minded my physical condition. When I first started this job, I was not thrilled by the prospect that I was losing out on annual leave and study leave, as it was definitely lesser than the previous job. But as the years went by, I am thrilled by the annual increments that I was given, the different aspects of the various types of tax cases that I was exposed to, the experience of my co-workers & partners. These are the factors that make me strive to work hard & go the extra mile for my bosses every time.
Although there is always office politics at play, I guess it happens wherever you go, wherever you work. It is how you manage it. For me, I choose to volunteer my services at the annual Volunteer e-filing exercise and grassroots volunteer, which I did not expect myself to be doing it for so long and so well.
I am always thankful for what has been given me & I strive to give back to the society more for what is given to me.

Oct VES Group Gathering
This is a delayed post, which I should have posted some time back. I did a major VES group gathering for the IRAS VES Group on 11 Oct and I was cheered that 19 people came and we celebrated the birthday of 5 of our volunteers, Jasmine, Juncai, Jianyi, Deqing & Meiqi.
Here are the photos. We must thank Jason for his selfie stick.
This is a song that I wish to dedicate my nosy friend cum colleague now. Wish to tell her that TO MIND HER OWN BUSINESS AND STOP ASKING WHERE I AM HEADING TO EVERY PUBLIC HOLIDAY EVE OR EVERY FRIDAY.
It does not mean that I am special in my own right, that I cannot go out with my other friends. You are not my mum or girlfriend. I am not your boyfriend, so it means I do not need to report to you where I am heading to or who I will be with.
I think you should cut down on your lateness in work, your urgent leave & your "always take MCs antics and check your own professionalism & mannerisms before commenting that people ill-treat you or not giving you the benefit of the doubt.
This singer is special, just like me. I agree with the title of the song, which means "Leading My Own Life" and the lyrics. Hope I can find this song in KTV one day to sing.

My NACLI Course On Emotional Intelligence
I had signed up for this course about a month, with the aim to improve my emotional intelligence, and I am glad to say that I have fulfilled what I wanted to gain from the lecture, besides the 4 learning units that I gained for the Certificate of Community Development, which brings me 23 learning units to attain it.
The 1st day of the lecture , we had to recite this success creed together in a group before we were allowed to leave for the day. This success creed, I think, I have been practising it, but I must apply more to my daily life, which means cutting out of negativity, or letting other people's actions, which are negative affect me, and must be more lovable.
In the lecture, our lecturer also shared the importance of taking deep breaths when facing difficult situations or negative situations, and this techinque actually helps to connect your body to your mind, and the power to change the thought from a negative to a positive one.
Our lecturer also impart to us not to use the word "TRY" during the duration of the course. Those who said this were fined $1 for each time the word is said. I was given the task to be the treasurer. I must say this gave me the group closer together as I initiated to exchange the contacts of our course mates and create a whatsapp group to keep in touch together or going to other NACLI courses together.
On the 2nd day, I learnt that the human body gets tired 12 hours after the midpoint of the sleep cycle. What does this mean?
Let's say I sleep from 12am to 6pm, the midpoint of my sleep cycle will be at 3am. Therefore the zzzz monster will be setting in at 3pm. It is important to know this as you will then know how to schedule your tasks.
We also learnt to set goals & objectives and setting out to achieve it by being specific, measurable & making your goal stretchable. I am glad to say I have been practising it.
We ended off the course by all of us, singing this song, "The Power of The Dream" by Celine Dion, which I thought was an apt description for we have learnt in the two days.
It was very nice to have known this batch of course mates, especially the 8 of them from Radin Mas YEC, which meant that I was not the only the young grassroots leader in the course. =)

Eventful September
The fortunate thing about having a 5 day work week is I always look forward to my weekend. This is especially so after an eventful month at work.
Voice Art – 7 September 2014
It has been a while since I last sang, and this was supposed to be the location for the next VES volunteer gathering in October. However, due to the fact that they would be holding the singing competition at around the same time, we had to change our plans.
Was there with Meiqi, Jasmine & Jia Jie. We did not manage to catch up with JJ's mum, Linda this round. It appears that my friends enjoyed the experience at the KTV very much and am looking forward to the next one soon.
BBQ at ECP – 13 September 2014
I would like to thank Chloe & Gonnie for organising this BBQ & inviting me along. It was indeed fun and I got to catch up with some friends whom I have not met up for a while, for example, Lance & Zhencong, and met up with some new ones, Li Gyan, Shirley, Dennies & Wayne.
In the BBQ, I got to know that Roy used to work in the People's Association & knew my liaison officer, Juncai. As the saying goes, "The world is small, Singapore is even smaller, you never know who knows who, therefore it is advisable not to do anything wrong. "
Meet Up With My Poly Mate – 20 September 2014
This was arranged in super quick fashion as it has been quite a while, several years in fact, that I met up with my poly mate of Year 2, Xinhui. It is always good to catch up in person, as I have only managed to catch up with most of my school friends through their Facebook status updates as some of them have moved on to the next chapter of their lives. It was a good catch up session and hope that we can catch up soon again.
Catching F1 Qualifying Round with my IRAS volunteer friends – 20 September 2014
A yearly event since last year, where I caught the F1 Practice session with Elsa at Penisula Excelsior Hotel last year. This year, we changed our location to UOB Plaza 1, Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant as the hotel pricing for the buffet was highly marked up due to F1.
This was my 1st time up to the restaurant and I must say the food is not bad, and the price was quite affordable considering the number of dishes we ordered and we really had a good window seat to catch a good view of the action. =)
I hope my friends enjoyed themselves, because I did. =)
How To Play A Political Game In Office?
I am having a busy month in September. It did not help that my work deadline is coming up in end November. Yet some colleagues are still either taking MCs & urgent leave as they please, leaving people needing to clean up their work for them, or indulging political moves to drive out a colleague, who was requested to come back to work for the company 6 months ago, as the "politicians" claimed that they were too busy and could not cope & it was to help us to have cover for a colleague who always take MCs or urgent leave with shocking regularity, only to kick this returning colleague out of the firm by saying they cannot work with her due to "communication problems" when it is pretty obvious that the person who got kicked out was not aware that she was about to be kicked out until she was in my boss' office.
I wonder the so called "communication problems" was masked by the fact that her superiors have made mistakes in their work & it was discovered by this colleague. To cover up they used this to ask my boss to kick her out.
To think that these "politicians" have told my boss that they are monitoring another colleague, with similar punctuality,taking MC & urgent leave with shocking regularity as mentioned above, that if she does not improve soon, they will ask my boss to get her to go soon.
My take on this is hopefully the person mentioned in the 1st paragraph of this article wakes up from her routine, otherwise it will definitely adieus to her soon as well.

Proper wire/size for heat pump air handler
cross posted in heating and air, but I thought as it pertains to electrical this may be as good a forum:
When installing a heat pump system that has an air handler with emergency type heat strip(s) installed with two breakers in the unit what type of wire should be used to feed power to it? Assume that it replaces either a smaller heat pump system or a traditional electric heat air handler that had a single power feed. Is it better to add a breaker to the main panel and feed the second breaker/disconnect in the air handler or is it better to uprade the wiring and use the appropriate single feed kit for the air handler so both breakers can be fed from one breaker in the main? If going that route what type of wire should be used? In my case there is a 30A breaker and a 60A breaker. My preference would be to protect it at the main panel with a 90 or 100 amp breaker and install a single feed but that would require #3 wire and I am only aware of THHN in that size. Air handler is is about 50 feet from the main panel. Conduit is not totally impossible but would be quite a job. Could I use SE type cable? I am double posting this in electrical.
Thanks, J
Your first step is to read the manufacturers information. If it says run two circuits, you are obliged to run two circuits. You can not just put in a single breaker regardless of how big you make the conductors. If you use SE, you need to watch for a few things: first you must have an appropriate sized grounding conductor in the cable you are using, second if Aluminum (most are) make sure the terminals on the device take aluminum, third remember that when running SE interior you must not exceed the 60 degree (after derating) ampacity even if the cable is approved at 75 or 90.
Note that USE is not permitted for interior use.

Rewind yarn with yarn pulling from the inside of ball?
I had read here of winding yarn so that it pulls from the center of the ball for ease in knitting. I did manage to do that on a trip by using the room service menu rolled up to hold the ball of sport weight I was winding. That seemed to work fine.
However, this yarn I rewound the other night was worsted, and about 12 ounces. I could not figure out how to rewind such a great quantity easily other than to make a huge ball wiht no pull from the center, but I much prefer the yarn dispensing from the inside of the ball. How do I rewind such a large quantity?
I do not know what you mean by rewinding the yarn. I have knitted for a long long time with the wool coming from the centre of the ball. I just fish the end of the wool from the the centre of the ball and that's it. I never rewind anything. I may have a little ball of wool coming out of the centre but that's no problem.
Yes, but when you rip out a huge amount of yarn, how do you EASILY rewind it so that the yarn pulls from inside the hand made ball of yarn? I do buy yarn that pulls from the center and then pull it out as I need it, but I am talking of ripping a HUGE amount out--1 or 2 pounds.
If I rewind the skein I often put the ball in an oatmeal carton with a hole in the top. My friend uses a plastic pitcher and has the yarn coming out the pour spout. I may try that cause the handle is handy. I don't have the patience to rewind into a pull skein.
I have a mechanical ball winder (clamps onto a table) that I usually use with my yarn swift - (an aparatus that stretches out to hold a hank of yarn). The yarn winder makes a flat on the bottom and top "ball" of yarn. They work well together to get the hank of yarn formed into a perfect ball, or for projects where you rip out. You can also pull the yarn from the center or the outside, and the "ball" of yarn sits flat and doesn't roll all over the place once wound on the yarn winder.
As for pulling your yarn out of the center of a ball, what you need to be aware of before pulling yarn from the center or the outside of ANY ball of yarn is that there is a nap on most yarn. You can figure out which way the yarn nap is going by drawing the yarn through your fingers. Take a lose end and draw it through, then pull it through the other way - the middle of the yarn to the cut end. You may note that one way it will drag a little more than the other way. You want to use the yarn so that there is the least amount of drag/resistance. The nap will determine which way you use the yarn - from the inside out, or the outside in.
Thank you Grainlady, I had no idea yarn had a nap I will put that to use from now on.
I wind my yarn with a pill bottle, just drop the end you want to start with inside the pill bottle, put the lid on and start winding. I usually wind the yarn at a 45 degree angle (from bottom to top) of the bottle and turn it a smidge every 5 or 6 turns. I also use a pill bottle with a smaller neck on it (my meds come in those lol) which makes it easier to hold the top as I wind.
SheilaJoyce, have you ever heard of a nostepinne? It is basically a wooden stick which is used to hand-wind a ball of yarn with a center pull. Take a look here: http://www.mts.net/~tabachek/nn-np.htm . And the link I'm posting gives instructions on how to wind the ball. But who wants to pay $20 or more for a stick? I went to Home Depot and bought one simple tapered table leg and took the metal end off of it. I think it cost me $2.50. And it's longer than most nostepinne, so you could make an elongated ball (using more yarn). Just be sure to sand it until it is nice and smooth. It works for me.
Here is a link that might be useful: how to wind
When people hand-wind yarn, they tend to wrap yarn tightly and that will destroy the integrity of the size of the yarn used because it stretches it out. Then the gauge of the knitted item will be off because you are using a slightly smaller yarn from stretching it tightly into a ball. If you wind yarn by hand, make sure it's done slowly and with a relaxed hand.
It is much better to invest in ball winder if you are purchasing hanks of yarn that need winding into a ball, or find yourself needing to re-wind yarn alot.
Go to this web site (scroll down a ways) to see the Royal Ball Winder (blue and white plastic), which is what I use, as well as the swift used for holding hanks of yarn.
Here is a link that might be useful: Pacific Wool and Fiber
there's a demonstration on the site: KnittingHelp.com. Click on basic tecniques, then ...more. Scroll down and she shows how to wind yarn with an inside pull. I can't imagine doing a large skien that way, but for a smaller one, I have done that. Think I'll look into a winder.
That is a great site, Foggy. I have some 3/4 inch dowel that I made into knitting needles for making eyelash scarves, so I can use one of them to make my huge balls of frogged yarn. Thanks for your help too, Donna.
I have a yarn winder. It will make pull from the center balls. There are times, though, when using it would mean too many smaller size balls. So, I just hand wind. Then I use a gallon sized zip lock bag. Put the ball in there. Close the zipper, leaving just enough room for the yarn to be fed out. Keeps the yarn from flopping all over the place and doesn't require rewinding.

toilet still leaking after changing flapper and valve
replaced the flapper (3x)and the flush valve and toilet still leaks
any suggestions
I have to agree with Homebound, under the general heading of "the toilet still leaks" there are a number of possibilities.
You stated that you changed the flapper and the flush valve so I am assuming that you mean the water level in the tank is slowly dropping and causing the fill valve to repeatedly open momentarily.
If you changed the flush valve a new flapper should have come with the flush valve kit, so for the moment we can rule out the possibility that you have the wrong flapper. There was a time when the flappers were all the same and we just carried a box of "Corky's" on the service truck, but with the advent of low-flow toilets they had to slightly redesign the flappers and flappers are now rated by the GPF (gallons per flush). (They now make universal flappers that have a rigid plastic mount and the rubber ball can be rotated on the mount to adjust for the GPF)
There are primarily two different methods of mounting the flappers. Most flappers have two arms that extend to the standpipe and there are holes in the end of the arms on the flapper that fit over cast plastic fingers extending off either side of the standpipe. Check the holes in the rubber arms on the flapper to make sure there is no excess rubber in the holes that might prevent the flapper from freely swinging on the fingers, then check the plastic fingers to make sure there is no excess "mold Sprue" plastic on the fingers that would interfere with free movement of the flapper.
There is a style of flapper mount where there is no fingers on the standpipe. Instead the flapper has a molded rubber ring that fits around the standpipe. This type of mount can be a real PITA to adjust because if it is even slightly too high it keeps the back of the flapper elevated above the flush valve seat, and if it is slightly too low it puts a downward force on the back of the flapper which causes the front of the flapper to be raised slightly. Personally i try to avoid that type like the plague.
Lift the flapper and run your finger nail around the top mating surface of the flush valve. If you feel any slight bumps use a piece of 600grit emery paper to smooth off the seating area.
Check the length of the flapper lift chain from the flush handle. Properly there should be 2 links of slack in the chain. (The flush handle lift arm should be able to move about 1/4 to 3/8" before it begins lifting the flapper.) If the chain is too tight it can hold the front lip of the flapper above the flush valve seat. If the chain is too long it will produce a sluggish flushing action.
Check the tank water level. In the inside wall of the tank you will find a "Water Level" index mark either painted on the tank wall or perhaps embossed into the ceramic casting of the tank. If the water level is too high or too low adjust the flush valve float. (The index should be about 2" below the top of the standpipe.)
Check the trap primer line, which is the small diameter plastic line that runs from the fill valve to the top of the standpipe. Make sure that the line is positioned so that it cannot interfere with the free movement of the flush handle chain.
At this point you have covered all the common problems associated with water leaking from the tank to bowl and causing the fill valve to repeatedly cycle.
If this has not resolved your problem please give us more detailed information about the type of leak your having and we can offer additional information.

Rid-X Septic System Treatment will give septic system homeowners peace of mind by helping maintain a free-flowing system. This Rid-X Septic System Treatment 3-Dose Powder formula is scientifically formulated with special bacteria and enzymes to digest household waste. By adding Rid-X to the septic system every month, along with regular pumping, you can help prevent septic backups and prolong the life of your system. This supply is enough for three months of treatment.
Helps Prevent Septic Backups
Properly maintaining your septic system will help it operate at full efficiency. Rid-X helps maintain your system with advanced enzymes that start working immediately to break down household waste and natural bacteria that work continuously to help reduce tank buildup. Rid-X replenishes the delicate balance of beneficial bacteria and enzymes that help reduce the rate of sludge accumulation in your tank. Ultimately, this helps prevent disgusting and expensive septic tank failures and backups.
Proven Formula with Beneficial Bacteria and Enzymes
Rid-X contains billions of 100 percent natural active bacteria and enzymes that have been scientifically proven to digest septic waste. Cellulase breaks down toilet paper, vegetable matter, and some foods; lipase breaks down fats, oils, and grease; protease breaks down proteins; and amylase breaks down starches. Combined, these active ingredients help prevent buildup in your septic system.
Easy to Use Every Month
Simply pour Rid-X powder down the toilet and flush. There is no need for complicated mixing, waiting, or cleaning up. And using Rid-X once a month will help maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in your septic tank throughout the year. Always remember to use Rid-X along with regular pumping.
Natural and Safe for Your Pipes and Septic System
The specially selected bacteria and enzymes found in Rid-X are the same as those already found in your septic system. The formula contains no harmful chemicals and is completely safe for your pipes and septic system, so you can use it monthly with confidence.
*Based on 52-week ACNielsen unit share data period ending June 18, 2011
Keep out of reach of children. Contains bacterial spores and enzymes. May cause eye irritation. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid breathing dust. Individuals having known allergies, particularly to enzymes, as well as those with respiratory disease or disorders, should avoid contact with this product. Wash hands thoroughly after use. First aid: If in eyes, immediately rinse eyes with water. Remove any contact lenses and continue rinsing eyes for at least 15 minutes. If irritation develops, get medical attention. If inhaled, move to fresh air. If irritation develops, get medical attention.

Smart Edge of Tomorrow Keeps Killing Tom Cruise
By Amy Nicholson
Set in 1910 Britain, and based on a real-life case of the day, the story concerns 13-year-old naval cadet Ronnie Winslow (Guy Edwards), who is expelled from school after being found guilty of stealing a five-shilling postal order from a classmate. Convinced of his son's innocence, Arthur Winslow (the brilliant Nigel Hawthorne) dedicates himself to clearing Ronnie's name, despite the financial and psychological burdens it places on the family. When the country's leading lawyer, Sir Robert Morton (Jeremy Northam, giving an unexpectedly nuanced and utterly convincing performance), agrees to take the case, Arthur must use his daughter's dowry money and his elder son's Oxford tuition to pay the bills.
The daughter, Catherine (Mamet's wife and frequent artistic collaborator, Rebecca Pidgeon), gracefully accepts her changed circumstances, equally determined to see her brother cleared. An ardent suffragette, she initially clashes with Morton, whose conservative views offend her, but she sees that he is Ronnie's only hope. It is Grace, the children's mother (played by the wonderful British actress Gemma Jones), who suffers the most, watching wistfully as her once-tranquil middle-class life is sacrificed.
The real case aroused strong emotions across the country, much of it in favor of the boy, and provoked a media frenzy that will be all too familiar to contemporary audiences. It proved a landmark case since, up until that time, no one had been able to sue any department (such as the British Admiralty) or institution (such as the naval college in question) that was considered part of the King's domain. The British Crown was deemed incapable of wrongdoing and was, therefore, immune from legal action. In order to file suit against the Admiralty, Morton (patterned after the real-life barrister in the case, Edward Carson) would have to obtain the signature of King Edward VII on a document called a Petition of Right.
Best known for his spare but savage plays about amoral people (American Buffalo, Speed the Plow) and such elaborate con-game films as The Spanish Prisoner and The House of Games), Mamet brings gentleness and what--for him, at least--could almost pass for warmth to The Winslow Boy. He finds low-key but credible humor in characters and situations, while infusing the overall film with a courtly, empathetic tone.
Hawthorne (The Madness of King George, Amistad) and Jones (Sense and Sensibility, TV's The Duchess of Duke Street) are always superb; the surprise here is Northam (Emma, The Net), whose inflection and manner are perfect and who somehow makes Morton both aloof and likable.
It would be too strong to say that Pidgeon (The Spanish Prisoner, the stage version of Oleanna) constitutes the weak link in the movie, but her cadence and manner of speaking retain too discernible a touch of "Mametspeak," the staccato rhythm associated with many of her husband's works. Although portraying a committed feminist and a highly intelligent individual, her character feels a trifle too modern. The performance isn't bad so much as it feels less a piece with the rest of the actors.
Composer Alaric Jans contributes a lovely score for the film's opening and closing segments. The one weak technical credit is the audio, which is noticeably poor in sections; voices fade in and out as if not miked properly. Overall, however, this engaging film proves a total pleasure, suitable for moviegoers who like their films a bit old-fashioned but still mainstream.
The Winslow Boyy
Directed by David Mamet; with Nigel Hawthorne, Jeremy Northam, Rebecca Pidgeon and Gemma Jones.

I haven't seen any 45 in a walmart for some time...at least 6 months. If you do find it, Federal Champion is going for almost 18/box here. My reloading bench is staying active.
If the pain is lacking so is the discipline...
"the only 911 call I need is chambering a round" - Mr. Muller, MO car dealer
The cheif factor in Walmart's pricing is of course the quantity they purchase (not generosity). You order anything in the abundance that Walmart does, you're going to see a significant price break.
I doubt there are too many examples of product "X" at Walmart being inferior to an identically packaged/titled product at a gun store. If anything might be a little lower quality, I suppose one might start with Federal's "Champion" line, which is the least expensive ammo out there right now...and I believe, a Walmart exclusive.
For all I know it could be only 90% as accurate as the stuff that costs just a couple bucks more. I'm probably not a skilled enough to recognize that difference. But it's gone "bang" for me every time and feeds flawlessly.
Dead Bears, the only good kind.
The ammo you buy at Walmart is exactly the same ammo everyone else sells. A box of Blazer or Winchester White Box is the same no matter where you buy it. Walmart has large special items made just for them; however, ammo is a commodity - they just buy more than everyone else...

Another peek--99% finished
Hi GW folks! It has been crazy busy over here finishing up plus spring sports for the kiddos. I keep meaning to do before and afters, plus lots of different shots, but at night I just collapse in bed!
So here is my favorite shot so far--view from my bar stool to the new gas cooktop! So happy to have gas again! Sorry, not "staged" just finished dinner :)
What is your backsplash? it looks almost identical to what I chose. I keep meaning to post photos too, but with the reno things are just upside down and I don't have much time to spend uploading photos.
So far it looks fabulous!
Where did you get your black paper towel holder???
Cathy--my backsplash is travertine--I know lots of GW folks don't like it--but I think it is perfect!! And that paper towel holder is soooo old. I have had that thing forever! Sorry, not much help on that.
Heidi--I think we chose the same backsplash. Was it a claros silver from The Tile Shop?
Here's my brand new backsplash:
Look familiar??? Great minds think alike!
Yours may be more of a beige color, but I wasn't sure from the photo. I love mine too. It was difficult to find a color to go with my granite and cabinets--this worked the best.
I sealed it with 511 impregnator so hopefully it will hold up. When I tested it by spraying water on it, the water just beaded up!
@Cathy--yes, it is from the Tile Shop (here in Michigan, if that matters--they may be a chain)
@smaloney--it has always been u-shaped, just now more functional and much prettier! I like a u-shaped kitchen myself. The kids are always at the peninsula since we took the uppers down and added stools. Works great for us!
Heidi--sounds like we have similar kitchens! I have a u-shape also. I moved things around to make them more user friendly. I like it so far, although I've had to move things to different areas so I'm still turning to the wrong drawer before I catch myself! I just want to totally move back into my kitchen!

Even as the Finance Ministry on Monday maintained that the new norms mandating a minimum 25 per cent public holding in companies listed on the bourses would make for a healthier market and catalyse the government's public sector disinvestment programme, India Inc. has suggested that its enforcement be put on hold for at least three months to sort out a lot of "grey areas".
Interacting with the media on the new listing policy norms which, while deepening the market, has indirectly paved the way for offloading a larger chunk of the Centre's stake in public sector undertakings (PSUs), Finance Secretary Ashok Chawla said: "It [25 per cent public holding norm] was announced in the budget. This has been operationalised and, in the medium-term and long-term, it would be for the better health of the capital market".
Mr. Chawla argued that the 25 per cent minimum public float criterion would afford greater opportunities to investors to participate in the equity offerings of a large number of companies in public and private sector.
Though beneficial over the medium-to-long-term, the new norm is expected to witness a rush of offers in the short-term entailing a flight of capital from the secondary market to the primary market.
Ostensibly, apart from the negative global cues on fresh concerns over the Eurozone debt crisis, it was this apprehension that also triggered a sell-off on the Bombay Stock Exchange and its benchmark Sensex slumped nearly 337 points on the first day of trading after the policy announcement on Friday last.
Voicing India Inc.'s concern over the new public float norm for listed entities, Confederation of Indian Industry President Hari S. Bhartia said: "Large cap firms, in fact all the companies, should definitely be given more time. The government can give three months' time. The policy announcement of June 4 can be treated as the concept paper on which views of different stakeholders can be sought". Mr. Bhartia pointed out that while the policy of stipulating a larger public float was a good move and would aid the government's divestment process, there would be crowding out of resources in the short-to-medium term.
"Too much paper (initial public offerings and follow on public offers) will chase the same money," he said, and felt that wider consultations should be held with industry before implementing the new norms.
Besides, among the grey areas that call for clarity include the issue of how private equity investment is to be treated.
The Finance Secretary, however, views it otherwise. Allaying fears over the rush of public offers having a negative impact, he said: "Well, it is not something, which is going to happen in a day. There is a roll-out plan as you would have seen."
And since the 25 per cent public float norm would be over a long period of at least five per cent dilution each year, "there is really no anxiety, [as] if something is really going to happen to the full extent tomorrow."
More importantly, the new norms would have a positive impact on disinvestment, Mr. Chawla said. Against a mop-up target of Rs 40,000 crore through disinvestment this fiscal, what has been achieved is slightly over Rs 1,000 crore from dilution of the Centre's equity stake in Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam.

MORRIS - It's said it takes community to raise children and that includes educating them, too.
The Morris Area School District and community members have joined in many ways to further children's educations, one of the most recent being an attempt to meet the growing demand for technical and industrial education in the district while also preparing students for potential jobs in a part of the state that can really use that type of workforce.

Quick SLG questions.
I posted this in teh SLG review but that was an older thread so I'll ask here too...
My wife just ordered me one as a Bday present and I had a couple qustions...
Efficiency - I keep reading that these are fficient but no real numbers. Assuming its a 3k psi tank, what is the average number of shots per cubic inch?
First run issues - I also read that some first runs had defective asa macro fittings and the detents wear fast. Now I did hear that Proto was supposed to be upgrading the detents. Were these ever addressed?
The detents are the same detents that are in the PMR's. And yes, they wear quickly but are fairly cheaply and easily replaced with the PMatrix detents. As best as I can tell its just one of those upgrades you expect to have to make sooner rather than later, like the plastic back cap on the PMR or a stock barrel on a tippmann.
10 shots per ci for 3K
15 shots per ci for 4.5K.
you mileage will vary marker to marker. I'm betting the SLG will be on the low side.
If you have any problems, just call Dye.
The SLG is on the high side, it's more effecient than a 'Trix. 1500 sounds about right. That 10/15 shot per 3k/4.5k "Rule of Thumb" is about spot on for some things, way off on others.
Anyway, enjoy your marker. I posted some more things in the review thread.
Thanks Pizza!
Could anyone tell me the advantages/disadvantages of a slg over a pmr? I am looking for one or the other and cant decide which one to go with. Any help is appreciated. Also, could anyone give me a ball park price for used pmr's and slg's?
Simple(EASY maintanence-3 or 4 o-rings)
More efficient
Smaller(lower profile)
Hyper 3
Aluminum back cap
No clamping feedneck stock
More kick
No UL frame(preference)
Stock trigger not great(neither is PMR)
Less kick
More upgrades
UL frame
Harder to maintain/less reliable
Needs new back cap
Less effecient
Hyper 2(Not really a negative)
There's not many used SLG's(That I've seen), but I'd guess around $150, and for a PMR just a bit more than that($180-$200). This is bone stock, of course.

The wreck happened about 2:40 a.m. Sunday in the 3500 block of West Loop 281, authorities said.
The baby, who was a passenger in the back seat, was pronounced dead at the scene, and two other people were were listed in critical condition at an area hospital, Longview police spokeswoman Kristie Brian said.
Longview Fire Department Fire Marshal Johnny Zackary said three people were transported to Good Shepherd Medical Center, and emergency crews had to use the Jaws of Life to extricate the victims from the vehicle.

James Frecheville ("Animal Kingdom", "Adore") is onboard actor cum filmmaker Matthew Modine's 1960's-set music pic "The Rocking Horsemen".
Deadline says the project, "about five high schoolers who hear the emerging sound of rock 'n' roll and decide to form a band", is using Slated (as opposed to Kickstarter, which everyone from Rob Thomas to Zach Braff have used in recent times) to encourage financing.
Assumingly, Frecheville will be playing one of the high schoolers seduced into the music industry.
Writer/director Modine, a big star in the '80s and '90s due to his turns in films like "Full Metal Jacket", "Married to the Mob" and "Memphis Belle", will also star in the movie. Jared Gilman ("Moonrise Kingdom"), Riley Griffiths ("Super 8"), and Miles Heizer ("Parenthood") round out the support cast.
Modine's seemingly riding the comeback wave right now; as an actor, he recently appeared in high-profile films like "The Dark knight Rises" and "jOBS". If he gets his money for "The Rocking Horsemen", it might be the beginning of a successful film-making career for him.

Restrained Gold or Baby Turtle for my Living Room pics included
Hi, I posted awhile ago for advice on what color to paint my living room. I can't find my post but I remember that most of you suggested a shade of green. Someone even did mock-ups for me but they are on my laptop that died. We are finally going to paint in the next two weeks and I'm having trouble convincing my husband to paint it Restrained Gold. He doesn't like gold but I love it! Our kitchen is painted Blonde and he doesn't really care for it. He loves green where as I'm kind of sick of it. My kitchen was green for a long time and our basement is painted Green. I do like the color Baby Turtle but that is about it for greens. I want to brighten up the room so I think Gold is the better choice!
I'm going to post a few pictures for you to look at. Some things have changed but I don't have new pictures on my computer. I have new lamps (goldish shades) and the rug in front of the couch is gone. New pillows match the window panels and the fireplace is painted white.
Thanks for any advice.
Well, since you have Blonde in your kitchen, I think Restrained Gold would be a good color. It sounds like that's what you really want. The question is, can you talk hubby into it?
What color to you currently have? It looks similar to Lenox Tan which I just got through painting my walls.
Hi, thank-you for the replies. The color in the pictures is the current color of my walls which is tan. The problem I have is that the walls look pinkish at night. There isn't any gold in them at all.
I know that gold is close to what I already have but I can't stand the pinkish tones.
Thanks so much!
ok--so I wasn't losin' it. Your wall color on my monitor could have been tan or gold...it's always hard to tell. Yes, I agree, Restrained Gold would look nice.
If you were to do a green, would your panels and the rest of your decor go with it or would you end up having to change because I really like what you have in there now.
I agree with your DH. While I think both colors would be fine, I think the baby turtle would enhance the colors in your room better. I think the fireplace will disappear with gold on the wall unless you stain it darker or paint it white. Your room has plenty of natural light, I wouldnt be concerned about the baby turtle making it dark.
Definitely the Baby Turtle. With your furniture, it will be the perfect color. I also think it will work well with your rug and panels.
Use the gold color for accents, but your walls a gold color just won't go with your furniture - just my 2 cents of course! I also have to admit to being a bit tired of dark gold colors. I have three rooms painted various shades of "gold" and find myself leaning towards taupe and dark blues!
Since the furniture is all brown (from what I can see), I don't see how the gold wouldn't go with the furniture. I have Blonde walls and a brown leather sofa and it looks great. Anyway, I also have concerns about how the gold would work with your fireplace. I think it would disappear, as roseabbey said. Do your curtains have any green in them? The curtains would be my only concern with a green, but I do think a green would work better with everything else. Baby Turtle, maybe -- or also look at Cheyenne Green or a more subtle green like Gray Mirage?
Thnak-you everyone for the replies. Just want to note that the fireplace is painted white now.
Thanks for the pictures. I think the RG looks great in your room! Your curtains are similar to mine and I think they look perfect with the gold.
The cutains have green in them as well as gold. I think we could go both ways. I will get a sample of both colors and put up a board and take pictures. I will post them here to see what everyone thinks.
Thanks for all of your opinions. Also, I know gold is used a lot lately but I really love the color!
Shee - I'm more than half way done, but I have to wait until I'm off work again to finish the rest. You can't see until it's completely finished :)
Bonnie also has RG in her dining room with similar curtains.
Hi, thanks for all the advice. I've decided that I want a gold but now I'm trying to decide if I want Restrained Gold or Blonde. I have Blonde in my Kitchen and I love it but I thought that maybe a warmer color would look better in the living room. Any opinions on that? What does it have to be so hard to pick a paint color?!
Can someone please tell me how to find a older post of mine. Someone did mockups for me and I cant find my post.
kim I did a search using your screen name but it only brought up this post. Sometimes stuff just disappears. If you remember how you worded the title of your old post, sometimes you can find things on a plain old google search.
As for which gold color to use, I'd make sample boards of each - you may not deep to have more depth/warmth. The Blonde will look different in your LR than it does it your kitchen.
Wow, thank-you newhomebuilder! Well this weekend we painted Restrained Gold and I LOVE IT! I will take pictures and post them sometime this week.
Although I think that Green would look good too, I've had my heart set on gold for a long time!
Thanks so much for all of youe advice!

Battleship is the frontrunner for the dumbest trailer of 2011, but the first teaser for Abduction is close to the top. Taylor Lautner's wooden acting just can't sell him as an action hero, despite John Singleton's possibly fun direction. The 2 Fast 2 Furious, Four Brothers, Boyz n the Hood, and Shaft director also brings together Lily Collins, Alfred Molina, Jason Isaacs, Maria Bello, Michael Nyqvist, and Sigourney Weaver to round out the cast. This latest trailer is much quicker and lays out everything one needs to know in just a minute. There could be a chance this one is some silly fun, so lets hope Singleton doesn't get too serious. Check it out below via Apple.
What would you do if you found your own picture on a missing persons website? Teen Nathan Harper (Taylor Lautner) finds himself facing this very dilemma. Setting out to uncover his real identity, Nathan quickly learns his parents are far from who they say they are. When the police, government agents and shadowy figures start to pursue him, Nathan's quest for the truth erupts into a full-blown "Bourne"-like man-on-the-run thriller.
Abduction will hit theaters on September 23, 2011.
What do you think of the second trailer?
