9 Decorating Cues To Take From Your Closet
For fashion-loving interior designer Daun Curry, a project starts with a client's clothes.
By Sarah Bray
A Closet Assessment
NYC-based interior designer Daun Curry (pictured left at home), of the firm Modern Declaration, is equally passionate about clothing and decor. Whether it's selecting a new sofa or new shoes, she recommends tapping into the same thought process. "Most of us can wrap our head around putting an outfit together, while decorating a home can be daunting for even the bravest fashion-lover,'" Curry explains flipping through her apartment's walk-in closet. "However, I've found there are clues in everyones wardrobe that can help define their own personal decorating styles." Dont overcomplicate it. What works in your closet can work in your home. Curry admits that a personal closest assessment justifies her diverse taste in decor. "Its a good exercise to get those creative muscles working," she says. "If anything, its a jumping off point that anyone can do."
Fashion: Daun wears a Karolina Zmarlak sheer top, a Karolina Zmarlak oxblood leather vest, and a vintage Versace leather skirt.
Interior: Cole & Son Pergola wallpaper on ceiling.

I was a machinist for 26 years & was skeptical of this machine. While I no longer can work in a production enviroment, I can accomplish a lot with this machine. It is capable of excellent precison, but not ready to deliver out of the box. The thing that needs the most attention is adjustment of the gibs. All of them. Carriage gibs I did not use the adjusters but cut shims to adjust. Save your steel strapping from shipping to make misc. shims such as carriage gibs and tooling shims. Even American made expensive machine tools require adjustment and set up. Just expect to invest some time in setup and you will have a excellent preforming machine. One big surprise for me is I can actually make a .040 inch cut in 1 pass for roughing cuts on cold rolled or drill rod with no difficulty. I intially was disappointed with the 3 jaw chuck but with disassembly and cleaning deburing, and proper technique I can achieve repeatable setup within .002 to.003 which is pretty normal for even much more expensive 3 jaw chucks. Be sure when chucking material to progressivly tighten from all 3 chuck sockets to achieve accuracy. You need a 4 jaw chuck for more percision setup or repeatability. Eventually I will add the Mini Mill with full confidence as soon as I can budget it. I probably have between 10 & 15 hours in mods and adjustments, including addition of oil holes to the front and rear bearing blocks for the lead screw. This is my first ever product review, and is intended to be informative and positive. I hope this helps someone make the decision about this machine easier.

This is a good little machine when it works as it should, and the support groups online are plentiful and generous amongst the other owners. I've turned, bored, and drilled so many nice pieces with this machine from brass and aluminum. I've put a quick change toolpost on it and am using quality toolbits and it works wonderfully within it's specifications.However, sadly, manufacturing quality control on this particular lathe is lacking. I'm on the 4th one and have had a laundry list of varrying defects across all of them, from off-center chuck to a fried motor on the second use, and faulty power feed. Get the 1yr replacement warranty, it's an absolute must. If you end up with a series of lemons and go out of your 30 day return period, it's worth it for a replacement. And frankly, all of the 7x and 8x lathes are made by the same overseas manufacturer, regardless of the paintjob and the brand stamped on it and what store or website you buy it from. You can end up with problems with this size lathe regardless of where you buy it, so I don't blame HF in the least. I'd rather drive a mile for support than have to pay freight to mail it back or otherwise be stuck with a dead machine.Do your research and know what you're buying, and be sure to get the proper tool bits from another source--HFs toolbits will get you by but not for the endgame, IMO. Bottom line, it's a great lathe for small jobs and light work and will work well for the beginner or the experienced machinist.

Best Value Mini-Lathe on the market.
By Dream Cutter
from San Diego, CA
About Me Professional
Comments about Central-Machinery 7" x 10" Precision Mini Lathe:
I have several of these units and they hold up to years of use. Search on 7 x mini-lathe to find set up tips and how to perform typical operations with this wonderful mini-lathe. I use these units to to demo a dual-pivot radial compound. Its a bolt-on accessory that in effect converts the lathes machining versatility from an Etch-a-Sketch into a Spirograph tool control approach. The attached videos shows how I used Harbor Freight metal lathes to create and test the product.This Central Machinery 7-x mini-metal lathe with a 7" swing over bed is is a quality machine from the world's largest manufacturer of mini machine tool equipment. Harbor Freight imports thousands of these model which are packed with the same features and quality as the competition at a better price. The 7-x-12 mini-lathe is a versatile unit that can machine nearly all metals and synthetic polymers easily. This type of mini-lathe has the widest selection of accessories and is compatible with a broad range of mini-lathe tooling from 1/4 to 3/8 in size.However there are some inconveniences with the tool to overcome should you want to perform taper or cut radially across the axis. For instance, to change the angle of the compound, you must fully retract compound lead-screw the and expose bolts to change angle, making it cumbersome to measure and adjust. In addition because the tool-post will not hold tools on center, so you cannot turn convex or concave radius. If you need to frequently perform operations like this, search for a Dream Cutter radial compound or tool-post ball cutter.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

6+ Years and still going strong
By GaryInOhio
from Cleveland OH
I have had this for close to 7 years now and it has done countless jobs for me. I use it for repairs and making small parts from aluminum and steel. I have bored, drilled, faced, and cut off parts. It has saved my butt many times by allowing me to make a repair in-house or allowing me to produce small specialty items for projects. I just wish I had gone for the 7x12" for a little extra money. That extra 2" of bed can really come in handy. You may have to buy tooling elsewhere because HF really doesn't have that much. The Lathe however is one of the best HF tool investments I've made.

By JL_tall
from Colorado
I had a need to machine a number of large dowels for display pieces and this machine fit my needs. I hated to spend this much money (even on sale) but so be it. I am very pleased with this lathe, no regrets. My only issue is the speed control which will stall the motor if the speed is too low while under load when drilling. It's easy enough to speed up to where it runs fine and it certainly would not be a deal breaker if I knew this before purchasing. I have not used any machine tools since college in the 70's and it was easy to use. I have ordered cutting tools and accessories from another source. Because I am not allowed to mention their name, I will say it was a 'bear' of a deal. They have a much better selection for accessories.

Fantastic for the money
By rickcad
Great value for the money! I was a tool and die maker for years using some great tools like Hardinge lathes. Now retired I needed some small parts, so I purchased this lathe. The accuracy is much better than I expected. I just cut some 13/16-14 threads and it worked great. If you don't abuse it or over work it, you should get a long life from it. Lot's of great features too.

Nice lathe for the price
By The reprap maker

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
I bought this for a great price and used a gift certificate and even without all those things this Lathe is worth every penny. I wans't sure how often i would use this but now i find myself in my garage using it almost every week at least one day sometimes 2 depending on the project.. It has almost paid for itself considering i would have to buy all the stuff that i made with it. I would recommend this one to anyone on a budget. But if you can afford one of the larger ones than go with that too.. As i am finding the only thing holding me back now is the bed size.

Can't beat the price
By thumperjockey.com
from Utah
I give it 5 stars because it's pretty accurate and priced well. I'm turning aluminum and the motor has no problem holding the rpm even when I cut way too much. It's quiet and doesn't vibrate. Glad I bought it.

I love it !!!
By Stargeezer
from Fort Smith, AR.
I have spent years wanting to buy a small lathe, but they were all too big, or too expensive for what I needed it for. One day I found a sale ad in my email for 20% off on any purchase over $100.00 from Harbor Freight. I had seen the Harbor Freight 7X10" Mini Lathe on you tube, and I had seen it in several videos, that peaked my interest, but how could any power tool that cost so little be any good? Well with 20% off and already on sale with a satifaction guarantee, how could I go wrong. I took the plunge and bought one sight unseen from their on line shopping store and with reduced FEDEX shipping and no sale tax, I got it for less then if I had bought it locally. I couldn't wait for it to arrive and boy was I surprised when it showed up so quickly, even ahead of the projected date of delivery. I have had it now for about 3 months and I have learned one bad thing about it, and that was why did I wait so long to buy it? This little machine is probably the best bargain hands down in any power tool you can imagine. 90 pounds of Dynamite. With a few simple accessories, you can do most anything with it, if it fits. No problem for me I build model steam engines. It will turn drill or face any metal I have thrown at it, and it does it with great percision. A little careful adjustment and alignment and it will rival any of the bigger name brand much more expensive hobby lathes sold. I can't see any reason it should not last for years, if maintained and cleaned as it should be. It allows one to buy other tools for it that you may not even be able to afford if you paid a small fortune for the base machine as in the more exspensive brands. Bottom line is it is not only affordable, but also a quality product, that anyone who would buy it would be proud to own. Like my Review Title reflects I Love Mine ! If you are considering buying one of these rest easy you will like what you get and soon learn to love it.

I've always liked giving advice. I suppose it started when I realized the people I really looked up to could almost always bestow some form of wisdom on me when I wanted, needed, or deserved it. The respect I had for my father was more than I've felt towards any one person thus far in my life. This was in no small part due to his being a human dictionary of sorts; there was never a question that he failed to answer for me and more often than not, the answers were thought provoking or had some form of moral included.
I want to be someone that others can look up to and ask questions, knowing I'll have an answer. I wouldn't say it's for any selfish reason other than I like the feeling of someone telling me the advice I'd given them was beneficial somehow. I'd say this is a goal of mine because I want to give back in the way that my dad gave me insight into my life and the way the world works.
I honestly have no idea how to make this work other than practice and being able to keep a level head. The important part is being able to read people and understand what they need to hear. That was the most impressive part about my dad's advice I think. He could tell me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to hear, which is a skill I personally don't see enough of. So the resources I'd need to accomplish this are probably just people to talk to and a willingness to help. 19 months ago

The question we ask a lot at Skiviez is how much hair is too much on the backside of a guy? We constantly try to determine what is most appealing to our customers. We want to know what you think. Vote below! We'd love to have your feedback.
Au naturale or Shaven?
Filed under: Polls, Web Site
3 Comments »
Please keep the hairy butts!!! It definitely increases my buying habits!!!
"Natural" needs to be in style again. If you think its gross, you should try living with it. It can be quite costly to remove it. I didn't ask for it. Men look much more masculine, when they are natural. The only time I remove it, is in the summer when it gets humid.
I agree with the two other posts. Men are meant to be hairy in the various ways that we are. This shaved and extremely trimmed look makes me think these guys never wanted to grow up. Timothy says it best; men look masculine the way we are supposed to be. Granted, we all have varying degrees of hairiness, but we need to be hairy in the places we were created to be hairy. Get rid of the "boy" look! Grow up and be a man! Grow your hair!!!

Racist! Loretta Sanchez on Spanish channel Univision: The Vietnamese are trying to take away this seat from us!
Another day, another progressive liberal Democrat exposed as a racist. And as usual, the lame stream media (including Fox News) didn't even touch this. This time it's another California dirtbag named Loretta Sanchez who is running against a Vietnamese candidate named Van Tran. The House seat is in California's 47th congressional district which includes the cities of Garden Grove, Santa Ana, Fullerton and Anaheim. Some even consider Sanchez a "blue dog Democrat" which is a perfect example that there is no such thing as a moderate Democrat. Anyway, Ms. Dirty Racist Sanchez appeared an Spanish language Univision and said this about her race against Van Tran:
The Vietnamese & Republicans are trying to take away this seat from us
Now, I can understand Sanchez claiming that the Republicans want to take the seat away. But why does Sanchez feel the need to racially slur the Vietnamese? And what does she mean by us? Latinos?
Sanchez even had the never to claim that Van Tran is very "Anti-Latino."

The Pick and Roll has survived its first season, and is into its second – a remarkable achievement with so many ups and downs. More positives than negatives to be honest, and I'm still very much gratified and motivated by the guys who are committed to the cause, so to speak.
With the new season, I decided the NBA content has to very much go the same way as everything else. We have to cover our Aussies in the NBA, and it has to be done consistently. The site is about Aussies, and this is where the content direction has to be headed.
With that said, it's back to walking the talk and not just spouting "we" statements without action, so I took up the job myself.
Aussies in the NBA is now a weekly feature by yours truly, and takes anything from 8-12 hours (or more!) of work. It includes:
- checking injury updates
- tabulating stat lines for the week
- finding entertaining social media posts to embed
- watching games (or at minimum, clips of FGA, assists and rebounds) to get a feel of how each player's week went
- thoughts on each player's performance
- working with Alistar, who's been a lifesaver on the video end. He compiles a weekly Top 3 AITNBA highlight reel, and relevant clips to be embedded via gfycat
- generating GIFs on my own for sequences I want to talk about
- getting a decent screencap to use as the featured image
- scheduling and writing promotional posts on Twitter and Facebook (along with analysis to see what works better)
This is still very much a work in progress, and is seriously a huge energy vampire. It would have been much easier, had I chose to do a high level recap with stat lines and zero analysis. The idiot in me however, believes in presenting the best effort I can possibly give, and that means doing everything above.
Hopefully, this will help to boost the profile of the site further, and get our name out there. I'm confident in the originality/quality of the article, but it remains to be seen if everyone is keen on reading length discourses like how mine runs. Secondly, there is also the challenge of getting the article out to readers, which is a field of study in itself. If you have been reading it and think it's great, I'd love a share or two. If not, let me know what could be improved.
Not forgetting of course, I have to get the newsletter up and running. That usually takes a night's work – not horrible, but it's yet another item that takes time away.
New season, new challenges. I'm also glad that we're getting consistent ground coverage with Darrel this year, and also with Olgun's presence in Chicago. Things to be thankful for.
The Pick and Roll's Facebook page has gone through the roof over the course of less than two months. On 12 Jun 2014, it was at 16,205 likes. As of 27 Jul 2014, it was 27,100. We had gained approximately 11,000 likes, or a growth of 67% within 5 weeks. How crazy is that?
Disclaimer: We have never spent on advertising for Facebook likes.
The page growth has been staggering, seeing as we were 5,614 at site launch – this was late Sep 2013. It's taken plenty of hard work via consistent posting and sharing to get the page up to the 5 digit mark, and then we hit a plateau right around mid-Apr 2014. I for one, thought that was going to be it for a while. And then the crazy thing happened, and you can see via the graph below, how meteoric the current spike has been.
The interesting thing about this phenomena however, is that it seems to be triggered by Facebook itself, more than any kind of paid advertising on our side.
How useful would likes be though, if your content doesn't get out to them? I could very well boast of 27,000 as a portfolio, but if Facebook's algorithm is restricting post visibility to say 2,000 for example, it wouldn't be making much difference unless I paid to boost post visibility. I have tested Facebook ads before, and the general conclusion so far is that boosting works pretty well, with a high engagement rate and low cost. (More to come in another post if I can be bothered.)
More than the number of likes though, I'm more concerned with other metrics like keeping our overall fan composition dominantly Australian, being able to engage with them (post visibility, getting them responding to our content, making sure they like the stuff we post) and of course, reading our articles! At the end of the day, maintaining the quality of the product is more important than anything else. On Facebook, that means the entertainment value of the posts we put up, and making sure people see it, and like it enough to want to share it.
Not complaining about the wave of likes though! All aboard and moving on.
I like to think that spellcheck erodes our ability to write and spell. Without constant practice and use, this tool became an eventual crutch. Add the lazy misspellings the internet generates, and it's turned into a veritable cesspool of awful mistakes that smack me in the nuts, at a pace that is all too frequent. Amazingly, these mistakes are not exempt, even in publications like newspapers, where I often expect the quality of writing to be much better.
Alas, 'tis a tragic world we live in. Or I'm just too nitpicky.
Your / You're
Wrong: "Your an idiot."
Right: "You're an idiot."
Right: "Your uncle is an idiot for saying that – does he not understand the gravity of the situation?"
Their / There
Wrong: "Their was a fool in front of me."
Right: "There was a fool in front of me."
Right: "Their uncle was a fool who squandered his fortunes away, and died penniless."
Must of / Must have
Wrong: "He must of left his brain at home."
Right: "He must have left his brain at home."
Right: (There is no right version.)
Rouge / Rogue
Wrong: "The operative has gone rouge, we must capture him as soon as we can."
Right: "The operative has gone rogue, we must capture him as soon as we can."
Right: "The operative paused to apply some rouge on her cheeks. Pleased with the effect, she smiled at her reflection, and turned away for an evening of subterfuge."
Free rein / Free reign
Wrong: "The servant had free reign in the house, and did as he pleased."
Right: "The servant had free rein in the house, and did as he pleased."
Right: (There is no right version.)
Peek / Peak
Wrong: "He took a sneak peak at the lady in the shower."
Right: "He took a sneak peek at the lady in the shower."
Right: "He was at the peak of his life, enjoying the freedom of being an unfettered, healthy young soul who chose to do whatever he wanted."
These are just common mistakes that continue to stab me in the eyes, every single time I see one. The list is definitely longer, but I'll stop here.
Three broad categories, from excellent to horrible. Which category do you belong to? Be honest with yourself, go!
The Innovator
If I'm an employer, these are the people I want. Not content in merely doing their jobs, they constantly think of ways to make work easier. Not only for themselves, but for the people around them, and for the company as a whole. Some people might call them agitators, troublemakers for upsetting the peace, but it's the movers and shakers like these, that help a company to grow organically in little ways, beyond the official policies that are being set down.
The Executor
Most of us belong in this category. The executor can be trusted to carry out tasks independently within defined boundaries, without causing too many problems. Do what's needed, get things sorted out, go home. The end. Just grinding away, yo! Ain't got no time for complicated things.
The Parasite
Like how Bill Simmons would put it, this is the Keep Getting Dem Checks (KGDC) guy, except there seems to be no work involved. The kind of person we secretly envy, and at other times wonder at the value of their existence in the company. What the hell does this guy do at work, exactly? A lot of people probably have that same question.
Bear in mind, we all probably drift from category to category at different times of the year, depending on how we feel. If you've lost all interest in your job, it's no surprise you're turning into a KGDC guy while keeping a lookout for new opportunities. Learn to love your job and appreciate the positives, try and make things better. We could all use a little upside in our lives!
Guess what? I kept my promise made last year, and TOOK A DAY OFF! I'm amazing. 14 Jul 2015 is a Tuesday though, so I'm fcuked.
In a rather unusual departure from what a usual birthday should be, I took a day off. From the internet, the kids, and everyone else. It has been a bit of a grind recently. The daily commute, work, the ever expanding scope of The Pick and Roll that's been taking a fair bit of time and energy, it was all eating away at my reserves. I needed to really get away from everything, and just do squat. No Facebook, no Twitter, no emails (hell yeah!) and no kids.
I ended up spending Sunday night alone over at a nice little apartment in the city. Crazy? I loved it.
I'd honestly be happy to live in a pad like this long-term if I was a bachelor. Nice and cosy, just the right amount of room for a single fellow.
- Caught a movie – 22 Jump Street's hugely entertaining, and Grill'd had this promo with Hoyts that made it cheaper than buying the ticket by itself.
- Checked into the apartment, and coughed up the $150 bond (WTF?), to be refunded upon checkout.
- Idled around, caught a bit of TV (The First Sunday), and conked out for a couple of hours. Bliss.
- The bowels decided it was time to empty everything and anything, so that was shit. Literally. Not the best feeling, but beats constipation any day.
- Trudged all the way to Kokoro Ramen, tried their tonkutsu shio ramen with fried chicken. Ramen's not too bad, soup's a little thick but feels more homemade (ie not premixed shit.)
- Bought some chow from Coles, walked back and watched some guys shooting hoops. Ended up playing 2on2 with two Chinese guys (big guy, little guy) and a Korean dude. My teammate (the Korean dude) was automatic from mid-range, and a deadly driver. Not to mention the fact that he was aggressive on D, and went over screens whenever I called them – great player. We killed the Chinese guys for two games straight, just from one single play: I set a screen, they switched on defense and he blew straight by the big guy for layups. They became smarter after that, and hedged really hard on the screen. It was a little slippery due to the drizzle though, so I didn't bother playing slip screens. That being said, the little guy couldn't really keep up with him, and my defender was helping really hard on defense, to the point of double teaming him.
- Lost count of the thousands of times I was wide open from mid-range, my usual sweet spot. I was shit from everywhere all night long on shooting though, the only shots I could make were bank shots apparently. So I got pissed in the end and just banked my remaining shots – the end. I couldn't do much when I had the ball, as my Korean buddy was camping all the way out at the wing all the time and almost never made cuts. It was either shoot, or pass to him, or drive in (least palatable option due to wet ground.) We had a few good possessions where I cut across the paint from right to left, drawing my big guy away for an instant, and the Korean took the chance to drive straight in for an open righty layup. It's something good players recognise, and I used to love doing this with Ambrose, back when he was still here. Never had to mention it to him, but he was always on the lookout for opportunities like that.
- The big guy who was defending me was making remarks to his teammate about me pushing him – he thought I didn't speak Mandarin. Well, what can you do when the guy you're guarding is twice your size? I wasn't going to front him in the post all night long, too much effort for a lazy night. He was pretty good from long range though, I'll give him that. Couldn't be stuffed guarding him up close however, floor was too wet and I'd concede an open jumper over an easy layup. Result: we won, like 4 games to 3. Credit to the Korean teammate more than anything else though.
- Caught Snatch on DVD – such a brilliantly executed movie. Love the characters, the story flow, the way the movie was filmed.
- Went on to finish about half of The Bourne Identity before calling it a night. Rest, not movie marathon!
It was a bit of a shock when I woke up to darkness, a king-sized bed and total quiet outside of the alarm. Totally disoriented, and was groggily wondering where the f I was, and then I remembered.
The actual birthday was, normal. Had a haircut, dropped the coins off at the bank, checked out the new Emporium mall, and had a really good lunch and catch up with Cherie. Caught up on emails and the kids at home, and had dumplings for dinner with the family outside. No birthday cake, yep. MILESTONE!
What I learnt from this year's birthday..
Just being able to lounge on a sofa, kick back and watch DVDs with no regard for anything and everything, is a real luxury. I need more of this. MOAR! I miss having my own private space.
And if you want a birthday cake and celebration and shite, make sure you put the details together yourself. As always, never trust other people to get the job done.
Also very thankful for my new job at CA. Every new role is always a journey of learning, and I'm glad to have an understanding manager, great colleagues and a peaceful environment that allows steady growth, in contrast to the pressure cooker environment that I've seen and heard about elsewhere.
On a sidenote, I found it ironic that the decision to found The Pick and Roll stemmed from immense frustration on not being able to write freely. I proceeded to create such an outlet, and then stopped writing anyway, because running the site took almost all of my time. I can only say, whoever's up there controlling my destiny has a pretty twisted sense of humour.
More about The Pick and Roll. If only running a website was that easy! Register a domain, install a CMS and just write shit? Hardly.
- Think about the dozens of people who believe in the site, and have come on board as team members. The consistent, ceaseless effort taken in promoting content, and posting informative, entertaining content.
- The hundreds (or thousands) of people that read our articles, and get entertained by our social media feeds.
- Our first advertiser even!
- The technical challenges in keeping the site running (security, improving user experience for writers, improving UI for readers, loading speed, SEO, newsletter blah blah) is a study in itself, and managing relationships, even more so.
- I've learnt so much about tempering the way I say things, and this has been in no small part thanks to Terry's constant reminders.
- Thanks once again, to Steve for being such a stellar hand at keeping the Aussie hoops section running without help. I can only say, I wish I was half as competent as he is right now, back when I was his age.
- Damian too, for being a ceaseless champion of the college cause, and keeping things lively.
- Our stalwart writers. Fantastic guys like Josh H and Josh L, prolific and capable people, folks I'm very pleased to be working with. The newer guys like Craig, Travis, Mika, Josh P, and of course Olgun, our U17 specialist who's emerged from his pseudonym and is still rapidly growing from day to day. It's my dream to one day, have everyone grow and be independent authors, but that goal is still some ways away. Onwards!
- Editors like Darrel, who's handled the panel topics with a deft touch, and is looking to have fun with media access in the coming days. Clifton, who has kept up with his job on vetting potential writers and executed with precision.
On to thoughts about the past year. I guess the biggest lifechanger so far, has to be the birth of our little boy. Having a child is a blessing, and two? I call it being infinitely lucky. Another journey full of challenges in the years ahead. I can never fully express the level of appreciation I have for my mum on being around to help. Without her, things at home would come to a screeching halt.
Something that's not often obvious, is the fact that my life with V is more often than not, a smoothly running stream. We seldom argue, and it's only at times when I hear about arguments that happen with other couples, that I realise, and once again reaffirm my initial decision to be with her eight years ago. She allows me the space I need to grow into my own person, and peace of mind to focus on my other passions. For that alone, I'm very thankful.
Not forgetting the mother. Her cheerful demeanour and unselfish willingness to help out in every facet of the household from cooking, laundry to the kids, has been an immense boon, I honestly don't know how we would've coped without her. Reckon I've got the easiest going mother in the world, and that in itself makes for a world of difference in easing things up at home.
How thankful should one be for having a sibling? Granted it was a biological process that was largely out of my control, but I'm glad that Stan's been around all these years. For being the kind, understanding soul that he is, and for always doing the little things without complaint. Always the first to put his hand up, and just get the work done – that's how he's like. There's nothing like family, and it's hard to convey in a few words, how much I appreciate him helping with everything. But thank you.
Also, happy to still be able to able to keep in touch with some of my friends. Having the little boy around has meant much lesser dinners outside and catch up sessions, but I do what I can. Thanks to everyone for understanding, and still reaching out to say hi every now and then, be it via Facebook, WhatsApp etc. Thank you! This includes people like LH, Estee, Alvin among many others.
I reckon the best surprise I've had the past year, was the unexpected visit from NZ and MS last month. They literally bought tickets down to Melbourne, pretended "a friend" of theirs was coming by to pass over presents for the kids, and then promptly showed up at my office door, while sending texts in a nonchalant manner until I realised from the messages that they were quite literally, staring at my back. I can be quite dense at times. Love you guys for popping by! Thank you.
Deepest thanks to LS as well, who's never forgotten about my birthday ever, and I'm looking forward to the gift, no matter what it may be! Much love for always keeping me in your mind all these years.
Not forgetting of course, my best mentor and buddy ZM, who's always a ready listening ear and at the same time, a fellow ranter at the twisted world we work in ;) I can say with total honesty that he's been the greatest influence on my life as far as work ethics go, and that my perspectives would have been much changed, had he not picked "that guy" at the job fair in Tampines a long time ago.
Two other shitty milestones, lifetime firsts. My first ever traffic violation! An illegal left turn into a road that I vaguely remembered was illegal during certain hours, and getting flagged by cops. Well, at least I wasn't alone. Also, my first accident with a car. Stupidly backed into someone else's parked car in a lot. It was a rainy day, I let go of the brake while in reverse, and it went BOOM! straight into someone's driver door. Went in and found the driver, owned up et cetera, looking to get hit with a hefty bill. Having a conscience and doing the right thing is an expensive act.
Back to Singapore in December for Christmas, and that was it. 56 friends. 51 sessions. 21 days. Friends, family, food and catching up on the good old books at home.
Not the best performance to date, I'll have to do better.
Abysmal would be a nice word to start this off. There was a stretch when I played twice a week on average, but the play has always been inconsistent. In terms of personal growth, there hasn't been much improvement. I'm slowly regressing to being jump shot happy more than anything else, which in term stems from a basic principle: make the defender pay for leaving you open. It's only when the threat is established, that everything else goes.
Hoping for better ball time in the year ahead, but with sleep in short supply the way it is, I'm not optimistic.
Sometimes, it's difficult to feel the gradual, and subtle changes that the self goes through in the course of a year. If I had to make a list though, it'll be:
- Patience in talking to people, and
- Not having the patience in wasting time, but trying to get things done as quickly as possible. Or sorting out people's problems in a similar manner. The rule of thumb is something like, "how can I solve your problem in the most efficient and time-saving way possible, so that you can go away ASAP and let me do my stuff?"
- Slowing down pace of consuming content. I've always been a gamer who waited for the price to drop before getting them, and the same went for movies, electronics etc. Don't see this trend changing anytime soon.
FG: A pair of new earrings! Just what I needed, have been wearing the same pair (her Christmas present) for a few years now.
FG: (It took me a while to notice that she'd actually painstakingly coloured the front of this card by hand, shit. Love this girl to bits for that extra bit of effort. Like seriously, who does this kind of thing nowadays? She's hands down, the best giver of presents I'll ever know.)
To My Dearest Fren, Kein!
Bought this in Taiwan like eons ago… Finally remembered to use it. Haha. Hope you find it unique.
Hope this card & present reaches you in time. Well what else can I say… It's Just amazing to have a friend like you in my life. Best thing that ever happened. You know how much I treasure our friendship yeah
Promise to try & find time to go over next year ok! Hee
Have a Beautiful Birthday!
Stan: (Over the hill, over the hill, and wheeeeeeeee rushing down the other way!)
To: Kein
Thanks for being a great support in my life always. Happy Birthday and I hope things stay peaceful always. A quiet life is a peaceful life! May life continue to bless you with a smooth road ahead.

Hoping for life to get bigger and better as the years continue to go by, and for more fond memories in the days to come. May this ride continue for a while more, because I'm not ready to get off just yet.

Nuclear and Radiation Studies: Expert Reports
The division produces 60-70 reports per year. These reports are unique, authoritative expert evaluations. Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review. The experts who volunteer their time participating on study committees are vetted to make sure that the committee has the range of expertise needed to address the task, that they have a balance of perspectives, and to identify and eliminate members with conflicts of interest. All reports undergo a rigorous, independent peer review to assure that the statement of task has been addressed, that conclusions are adequately supported, and that all important issues raised by the reviewers are addressed. Thus, while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy.
Best Practices for Risk-Informed Decision Making Regarding Contaminated Sites: Summary of a Workshop Series (2014)

I am not sure how much good it would do me to talk to the police. What Mike did to me was 20 yrs ago. That statute of limitations ran out long ago. It has been mentioned that if Mike drags this into court that I may be called to the stand as background but not proof. I will do what I have to do, what I can do.
I have to keep reminding my folks that MIKE did this, not me, not the girls, not anybody but Mike. IF my other brother blew up because of the news, that is Mikes fault, not mine for telling. Same with my sister. I think my father knows that though. My mom on the other hand.... She has always protected him. Always felt guilty for something from his childhood. Something she wont' explain or talk about. Even my other brother nad sister don't know what that is about. But nobody is happy about her protecting him. I told my dad yesterday that her protecting him may cost my parents the chance at getting custody of the girls. They need to kick him out. Let him fend for himself in the world.
|Wed, 02-11-2009 - 7:36am
I absolutely agree that my brother should be in prison. He may have already been arrested. He was told by the detective that if he didn't show for a polygraph yesterday that a warrent would be issued. This may very well be a scare tactic since it is basically his word against hers but that is what he has been told. My niece has also been told that if Mike does not show for the test that they will make her take it. I am not sure if they can do that to a minor. Again, is is a scare tactic to make sure she is telling the truth?
At least he is not in the home with any children. Both of his girls are in their home with their stepmother and stepsiblings---for now. My SIL has been told that cps is going to take the girls into custody once this test is taken. There is currently a restraining order in place as well. For now we are having to take it one day at a time. What stinks is that I know this can go on for a very long time. :(

(((((Rae Marie))))) Yes, it is very okay to vent here! I'm glad you found us and felt comfortable telling your story. That's a very brave thing to be able to do. I'm sorry this happened to you. I hope you know and believe that you are NOT responsible. You did nothing wrong. And we believe you. No one here doubts you at all.
Your parents want this to be a secret. Tough. That's how abusers get away with this. Speak up and tell everyone. I'm glad you told your brother. I'd love to see you go to the police and tell them what he did to you so that they can help your nieces. They need someone like you to stick up for them and let them know they're not to blame either.
Sadly, these things are so hurtful, and then families compound the issues by deciding that the person who was abused is supposed to keep quiet. I'd have loved to have had parents like Elizabeth Smart who supported her and were there for her and never blamed her for anything that happened. Most of us are here because our families were like yours and the abusers get blamed.
I am so sorry for all you've been through. I hope you'll

(((((HUGS))))) for what you've suffered and (((((HOORAY)))))that you are protecting other children from this man.
Families never want to believe the truth. Then they would have to believe that they missed it and didn't protect you. They are pushing you away because they don't want accept their own roles and guilt. IGNORE THEM. You need to do what is right and that is protect other children. I'd go to the police and tell them everything. If he did it to you and is now doing it to his own daughters, he will do it to anyone and probably has. A study was done many years ago that showed that the average number of victims of molesters in prison was close to 200. How many more has your step-brother abused?
You need to see a counselor who deals with abuse victims. Your children deserve a mom who is emotionally whole. They can feel your anger and kids tend to blame themselves for what a parent is feeling. Pressing charges against your step-brother might help to get some of the anger out. But you'll have to be prepared for the family turning on you. That's where the therapist really helps. They weren't much of a family, were they. Families are supposed to protect and nurture and they did neither. You have your own family now. They will become the family who was nurtured and protected and they will support you. Forget your family of origin. They must deal with the truth and their personal truths for not believing you and letting this young man hurt others unstopped. Your parents are personally responsible for the molestation of their daughter and grandchildren.....a lot for them to deal with. Some parents just won't listen!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am blown away by your strength! Everyone here has a story and you can vent all you want here. We all do. It is a sanity saver. And we are here to support you. I'm just so PROUD of you for telling your brother so he can protect his daughter. You can't change what you went through but you CAN stop him from doing it to anyone else.
I hope you'll stay and keep us informed as to what you do. I for one want to know another monster is off the streets!
gentle, gentle proud hugs............JennyB

well just going by the pics for the kern one i think it would be my choice if i had to choose. boobs (and free wine)
Is the man himself going to be there? I'm more interested in him than the exhibit I think.
i love the naked girl giving herself a swirly. very sexy, right?
i know everyone is always boner-this and boner-that but the middle shot... it happened. for real.
More importantly, is Kern's wife going to be there? Hubba hubba.
I can't figure out if wearing nothing but panties and high heels is classy or not. In porn it's not but on a cliff... maybe so.
the fish hook is pretty nice

The Jonas Brothers Hang with Zombies at Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights
No, the Jonas Brothers aren't adding new undead members to the band, and this isn't spooky inspiration for their highly anticipated new album.
It's Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios in Hollywood, and the JoBros kicked off the start of October by getting into the creepy spirit.
"Had a great time with everyone @HorrorNights, @UniStudios you have to go," Kevin Jonas tweeted.
Check out Kevin and Dani's date night photo!
Actually, judging by the looks on Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas' faces, maybe this extra dose of scary is helping with the album. You know, nothing like trying to outrun a few zombies in The Walking Dead maze to get that adrenaline pumping for when you go onstage.
We're not sure Danielle Jonas would agree with us on that one, though.
To keep up with this famous family, make sure to tune in to an all new episode of Married to Jonas on Sunday at 10/9C only on E!

2009 Ford Focus SES Review
Pickup, handling, awesome dashboard
Why isn't how great this car is better advertised?
I Have Driven A Ford Lately. — What a surprisingly nice vehicle. Plenty of pickup for a small, naturally aspirated car, and the Microsoft SYNC digital dashboard system is awesome. Gas mileage is also excellent according to the mileage indicator. Solid quality construction and thoughtful design touches rounded it out for me and made me want to trade in my existing car for one.

2009 Ford Focus SE Coupe Review
Efficiency, cost of ownership, handling.
Poor power, cheaply constructed interior, shoddy body-design.
A Great Car For The First-time Buyer Or Cost-mindful. Should Not Be Considered For Safety! — This car has very poor performance in the areas of acceleration and power, but makes up for it in the handling of the car. Its stock Kumho's keep the car glued to the road outstandingly for the level of performance that it has. The build quality of the car exceeds my expectations for it, however Ford's use of cheap plastics in its construction leave something to be desired. The car is relatively cheap to maintain, so far not requiring any extraneous costs outside of anticipated maintenance. Getting nearly 40 miles to the gallon, depending on how you drive, the car far exceeds my expectations in it's efficiency department. As far as the appearance, it leaves a little to be desired with the clashing aggressive front-end and relatively mild body-lines and rear, and it gives the impression that the car has more power than it does (The wide open front bumper would fit an intercooler nicely. You listening, Ford?) Overall, the car is fun to drive with its above-average handling, but ultimately fails in the performance sector. It's efficiency and cost of ownership make it a very average car, however.

The Cost of Petrol
Focus Wrc Replica — My Focus WRC Replica has Amazing Performacne and the 2 Litre really has great Acceloration, the braking is great thanks to Brembo 4 pots, Build Qualitys good, I love the interior is nice because I have changed it to a Rally Spec, the Exterior styling is nice and the body kit is good. It is quite expensive to run but if you want a fast car you can't just pay chips for the petrol. There isnt much Maintenance apart from when in Rallies. It is very fun to drive and love driving it.

Love my car! Sporty-looking, surprisingly big interior with lots of front seat leg room for my 6'6" husband and son. Huge trunk with fold-down back seat makes it easy to fit longer purchases.

Not the greatest car in the winter. Think I'm going to invest in snow tires, as my all-weather radials aren't cutting it. Doesn't have the best power on steep hills at higher speeds. Back seat is a little cramped for my tall kids.

2009 Ford Focus SES Review
The Sync System on this car is what places it above anything else in it's class.
I wish it had a bit more power and torque and a little lowered suspension, but for what it came with for the price I paid, it was a steal.
Overall...this Car, In My Opinion, Is Better Than The Mazda 3 Or The Civic. — Performance is above average. I wish it had a bit more power. Maybe after I install better exhaust, intake, and tweak the CPU a bit I'll definitely see a difference in the power. Also once I lower and stiffen the suspension the overall look of the car will be more aggressive...much like how I drive. Once the performance chip is modified, the gas mileage should get even better. This is really a fun car to drive along with your friends.
