After the first four days of early voting, Dallas County elections administrator Bruce Sherbet says around 15,000 people have voted countywide, a number that includes suburbs. In Dallas, Sherbet estimates, turnout will run slightly higher than normal for a municipal election. "Pretty much what I'm seeing right now, the turnout is elevated, but nothing significant," he says. That would put it at 12 percent to 13 percent, compared with 8 percent to 10 percent in a typical city election. "I might be surprised, but the indicators don't show it."
As a Very Important vote goes, that's not impressive. Turnout for the balloting to finance the American Airlines Center in 1998 was about 21 percent of registered voters, according to news reports. We suppose that means arenas are more important to voters than the basic structure of city government--tsk, tsk. How shallow Dallas voters are.
But are they really? Ask yourself this: How much real difference does it make to you whether an elected mayor or an appointed city manager is the Big Kahuna at City Hall? Probably not much.
Buzz bases the statement on the time-tested journalistic practice of taking one voter's experience--ours--and extrapolating. See, Buzz, and we bet most of you, expects very little from City Hall. There's cheap, clean water--got that. Regular garbage pickup--got that, too. Fewer potholes--could do better, but that takes money, asphalt and labor, and we doubt the strong mayor is going to be hefting a shovel. In the past few months, Buzz's gas line was repaired, and the city code inspector came right out. The cops didn't catch whoever burglarized our home, but we doubt an empowered Mayor Laura Miller will either.
Does this mean Buzz is advocating voter apathy? Of course not. You should certainly vote, and vote "yes." Why? Entertainment value. Making Miller "boss" would rival the thrill of running the bulls at Pamplona, which we imagine is very exciting to watch.
For the poor fools who get gored? Eh, not so much. But then, who cares about them?

I have a question..
Are HE detergents made to specifically work for the longer wash cycles or do they just contain suds suppressors?
My understanding is that they are formulated differently beyond just the sudsing parameter.
Less volume of water is involved so not as much water-softening/treatment ingredients are needed ... but the soil level is proportionately higher regards to cleaning agents and enzymes.
Also components to help avoid color transfer between items due to potential higher concentration of bleeding/dyes in the lower volume of water.
FWIW...in my U. marketing courses in the late sixties local P & G tech/marketing guy came to speak to us. One example he used was laundry and dish detergents. They MADE them suds up because that's how consumers judged the products cleaning ability -- visual evaluation of suds level. Their ads and their competitors ads promoted the characteristic aggressively. By-hand dish-washers and conventional TL-users still do.
Another comparison he used -- valid then, as now -- was automatic dishwashers. Then, as now, dishwasher detergent didn't/doesn't make suds. As you probably know, using conventional detergent in your dishwasher makes quite a mess. HE laundry detergents are kind of like that. "Scrubbing Bubbles" don't get your clothes clean. The rest of the chemistry does.
Learn your water quality and learn the appropriate dosage for your application.

Don't lie… you thought that was actually X-Pac at first. I know I did.
Video: The Kliq Reunites Backstage during Raw Reunion
Don't lie… you thought that was actually X-Pac at first. I know I did.
"The Vigilante" Sting appeared at the close of last night's Raw Reunion show to distract Seth Rollins and the rest of the Authority just long enough for John Cena to get a roll-up pinfall on the Money in the Bank briefcase holder. The win – against Rollins, Kane and Big Show – means Ryback, Erick Rowan and Dolph Ziggler all get their jobs back, thanks to the stipulation agreed upon earlier in the night. Had Cena lost he would have had to forfeit his spot in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match at this Sunday's Royal Rumble.
The appearance of Sting would seem to make a Sting v. Triple H WrestleMania match a lock and that's definitely not a bad thing. Triple H makes the most sense to face Sting given the current situation. He's still in incredible shape and can most likely put on a better match with Sting than Undertaker can at this point in his career.
Raw opened last night in its usual fashion, with a long talking segment featuring The Authority. This one was a little different, however, as it was a farewell from Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. As the two spewed venom at the WWE Universe for applauding their demise, Daniel Bryan interrupted the duo to say his own goodbye.
A surprise title change took place on tonight's episode of Raw, as Luke Harper defeated Dolph Ziggler with plenty of help from The Authority to capture the Intercontinental Championship.
The switch makes perfect sense in the way it played out. The Authority beat down Ziggler before the opening bell rang, helping Harper win the strap. It adds fuel to the fire for Ziggler and likely means bigger things are coming for him.
Grumpy Cat, the internet-famous cat who has been exploited by its owners for all the cash they can squeeze out of its frowny face, will appear on next Monday's Raw, the go-home show to Survivor Series. It's all part of a promotional tie-in with the Lifetime movie, "Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever."
While mainstream publicity is obviously the desire of WWE with this move, it's sure to annoy the diehard fans who have already been forced to sit through painful segments on Raw featuring Kathie Lee Gifford, Hoda Kotb and Jerry Springer in recent weeks.
On the other hand, all press is good press and these one-off segments are a great time for a bathroom break.
(Image via Lifetime)
"Plan C" was revealed to be Brock Lesnar, who will challenge John Cena for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam, as has been rumored. Randy Orton was seemingly Triple H's first choice but Roman Reigns wasn't having it, brawling with the Viper while Triple H stood in the ring befuddled. That brought out Paul Heyman, who introduced "Plan C," leading Lesnar to the ring where both men shook hands with the COO, sealing the deal.
Heyman then cut one of the best promos we've seen in a long time, much of which is in the above video.
WWE introduced a number one contender tournament for the Intercontinental Championship during last night's Raw and held the four first round matches on the show. Rob Van Dam defeated Alberto Del Rio, Cesaro neutralized Mark Henry, Sheamus took down Jack Swagger, and Wade Barrett bullhammered Dolph Ziggler to advance.
The tournament will be stretched out over a few weeks, with the winner ultimately challenging Big E for the title, presumably at the Extreme Rules special event. I love that they're not hotshotting the tourney and letting it play out a few weeks, giving the tournament and the title some more meaning.
The next round will see Rob Van Dam face Cesaro, while Wade Barrett will battle Sheamus.
After a few weeks of teasing, Evolution is no longer a mystery as Triple H, Batista and Randy Orton are back on the same page. After a beatdown following an 11-on-3 match that pitted all the midcard heels against The Shield, that familiar Motorhead theme blared and out came Evolution. After continuing the beatdown of Reigns, Rollins and Ambrose, Triple H grabbed the mic and uttered the excellent line, "Believe… in Evolution."
Seems like that rumored Shield v. Evolution six-man tag at Extreme Rules is happening.
Pardon me while I gush, but Paul Heyman is so amazing. Earlier in the night he was loudly booed during his incredible promo about Brock Lesnar breaking Undertaker's WrestleMania streak. Then, when Cesaro tells Zeb Colter that he's not a "Zeb Colter Guy" after all but he's a "Paul Heyman Guy," Heyman gets a huge babyface pop.
The reality era is in full effect.

Tip #1: All of our colors will blend with the natural pigment of your lips, which can make the color shift. Apply a dab of your foundation over your lips before lipstick application, to allow the true color of Coral Crush to shine.
Tip #2 Try applying this as a stain with your finger. Apply a thin layer of Rallye Balm, then using your clean ring finger, rub the slanted tip of the lipstick bullet a few times - and then dab onto your lips.
Tip #3: Exfoliate your lips on a regular basis - this will keep dry skin cells from sitting on top of your lips...which will make the lipstick color look uneven and not allow it to last as long, because your skin cells are falling off your lips, along with the lipstick.
Tip #4: Moisturize your lips with Rallye Balm after exfoliation. Massage a healthy amount into your lips to help strengthen the skin and smoothe the lines. Wipe off any excess, so there's not a layer of balm sitting on TOP of your lips. Apply Barcelona on top.

Beautiful! Love this browner creamy no sparkles red.
I've received several compliments on it from random strangers and friends.
Goes on great, color stays put.
I have a fair complexion, pale lips, light eyes, and dark brown hair.
Posted by Tiffany on 20th Jan 2015
This is my everyday perfect color! First purchase! Love it for a neutral that's not too light!!! ❤❤❤❤
Posted by KTO on 12th Nov 2014
I received barcelona and was so pleased with the color, its very beautiful and soft. The lipstick itself goes on so smoothly and I only have to do a few dabs on my lip or one swipe on the bottom lip to have full coverage. its really a wonderful product! This color looks well with my skin tone (an olive/tan) and has a very natural pink tone that gives me a more done up look than bare one. keep up the good work RAL~***

Can be very dark if desired, but if you use a lip brush very
easy to pick your own intensity.
Posted by Melissa on 12th May 2014
Honestly, I was bummed when I found out I had to switch to gluten free lipstick because I loved my tried and true department store brand. But now that I've discovered Red Apple Lipstick, I realize I should have been using this stuff all along! Barcelona is the perfect reddish brown shade, and it stays on for hours, even after eating or drinking. Also, it tastes and smells great, not "chemically". Barcelona is my 'go-to' shade, but I can't wait to try the others!
Posted by Lisa Merrick on 10th Dec 2013
Beautiful...just beautiful. A beautiful brick-red/brown for all of us with warm-toned skins. Very flattering indeed, and I will be purchasing Barcelona again!
Posted by Marie on 6th Dec 2013
I am very happy with my new lip colors! Barcelona is a great neutral for wearing with fall colors. Brandy Candy gloss has a touch of sparkle that when applied over Barcelona makes it pop. Thank you for the great customer service and quick delivery of my order!
Posted by Linda on 22nd Nov 2013
I picked this out for my sister's birthday, since she likes a red with brown tones. She has raved about it, can't believe I picked the color! She loves that it wears down evenly and she can refresh in a minute with a swipe of Honey Badger lip gloss I also included in the gift. Of course, what RAL gift would be complete without Rallye Lip Balm, also a hit.
Posted by Nikki on 21st Oct 2013
So thrilled that RAL has made a flattering brown that I bet any skin tone will look great in! Usually browns make me look washed out, but not Barcelona! I am in love with all formulas of RAL's lipsticks!
Posted by Aleka Munroe on 19th Oct 2013
I have a hard time finding a good reddish color for my postmenopausal skin that used to be olive. This one looks good on me and is a great fall color. For some reason it seems to spread outside my lips and onto my teeth too much. I have to blot it more and coat with Rallye.

Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
As previously mentioned, I am a truss designer for a large truss manufacturing company. I have only been working there for just over a year, but I've been in the position for close to 9 years and construction has always been a part of my life.
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
I don't read nearly as much as I used to it should, but when I do I prefer books by Michael Crichton, John Grisham, Dan Brown and the sort.
I do enjoy movies but will generally fall asleep during them and yes this has been done in theaters too.
Right now I don't have Cable or Internet so my TV viewing has decreased dramatically, but I do enjoy shows like Arrested Development, 30 Rock, Psych, Modern Family, Dexter, Game of Thrones, The Wire, Shark Tank and others.

Christopher and his guest were wonderful! I hope they return, it was so nice to meet them. Christopher texted me, "minor issue, the stopper in the bathroom is broken". In 27 years of being a full time landlord, I never had anybody inform me of an issue in such a kind way. He said he even tried to fix it, and I think he did! I certainly didn't expect him to "work" on his vacation. I don't know where people like this come from, but I am so lucky to have found them on airbnb. They were clean and wonderful guests! Thank you, Thank you. and Please come back soon.
A wonerful person
Chris and his girlfriend were very plesent quite and respectful
I would have loved to have spent more time with them.......
Hopfully another time
Christopher (Stoph) was a joy to have as a guest at the Cozy Cottage! He was kind and communicative the whole way through, and I felt very comfortable leaving my home and my kitty in his hands. Thank you for the delicious treats you left behind as well! Here's to a wonderful new year ahead, and please come back and visit SF any time... you're always welcome here. :)
I have known Christopher since high school and he was and has continued to be a lovely person through all of those years. I have traveled with him, hosted him in my house, and been a guest at his house many times. I would recommend him unreservedly for all of these activities. He is gracious, conscientious, extremely reliable, organized and tidy. And also creative, curious, interesting, and engaging. He would be extremely appreciative and respectful of your space, treading lightly and taking care of everything. I am an Airbnb host and would be thrilled if all of my guests were like him.

Securing America: Muslim Spying Lawsuit
A group of Muslims have filed a lawsuit against the New York Police Department in an effort to stop a surveillance and intelligence-gathering program that they say unfairly targets them.
FOX News Radio's Jeff Monosso reports in our ongoing series on national security:
Audio clip:
The eight American Muslims, all from New Jersey, filing the Federal lawsuit challenging the NYPD's surveillance program of Muslim mosques, student groups and businesses outside the city, including in Newark.
(Khera) "They've overreached, and they've overreached in a way that violates the Constitution, and that's why we're bringing this lawsuit today in Federal court."
…Muslim advocate Farhana Khera. New Jersey's Attorney General, after a three-month investigation, found the NYPD didn't violate any of the Garden State's laws. The NYPD stands by their surveillance program, saying it's led to arrests of terror suspects and has kept New York City safe post-9/11.

Sleek, modern and beautiful.
Elliot from Los Angeles, CA– Verified Buyer
We needed an end table that matched a coffee table we had gotten elsewhere, and this seemed like it would fit the bill. We we received it, put it in place, and sure enough, it looked fantastic. We got the high gloss white version which looks just beautiful and very modern. What we also love is that you can roll it around, like for example if you want to eat off it while watching TV. It also has a small drawer in it, perfect for TV remotes!
Very nice quality
Veronica from Wauconda, IL– Verified Buyer
I was very pleased with my purchase of two white Bachelor end tables. I am using them for nightstands and they look great. They seem like decent quality for the price, and came packaged extremely well. Love the high gloss white finish on them and the casters that allow them to easily move, yet they don't constantly roll out of place either.
Perfect bedside table
Madison from CHICAGO, IL– Verified Buyer
We have a platform bed and wanted a lower side table but not a standard cookie cutter bedside one. This is terrific. The white lacquer matches my other items, construction is solid and the small drawer is a nice bonus.
Very Nice

re: HV
Posted by: old_user on Oct-06-12 10:15 PM (EST)
I've sat in both the regular Explorer and the HV, and I can report that the HV has quite a LOT more room under the deck for your legs/thighs.
I didn't fit comfortably at all in the regular Explorer (and I'm surprised by your reports of ppl 'much bigger' than your 6'3" 210 lbs fitting well in one), but the HV was just about perfect.
Far as the Tiderace Xcite goes, I'm also surprised that it bloodied your shins up. It's a boat that's been known to fit somewhat large ppl. Are you 6'3", but also 'all legs' or something?

Real estate question

Posted 16 December 2012 - 06:06 AM
Dh and I want to build but that is in 5-10 years. We thought we would stay where we are until then unless something comes up which would be a suitable interim house, so we're kind of looking out all the time and seeing whats out there.
Yesterday I saw something suitable. Obviously our house , although it has been valued, it not on the market. What would our options be to secure this new place when our own place which may or may not sell for a while, especially as it is coming up to Christmas. Surely we aren't the only people who happen upon this situation? What do other people do ?
Posted 16 December 2012 - 06:40 AM
Maybe ask whoever is doing your side of the conveyancing about putting a clause in the contract that makes the purchase of the house subject to the sale of your house. As far as I know a time limit is normally put on it, say for example that if your house doesn't sell within three months then the contract to buy that particular house is void/cancelled.
I'm in Qld, and this seems to be a fairly common sort of thing to have inserted in a contract when one is purchasing a house.
Posted 16 December 2012 - 06:42 AM
ahh, ok thanks for that. Ive never been in a situation where i'm selling one house to buy another. I can imagine there would be so many timing issues bu I just have no experience with it. Its probably the normal situation thought right? Is there some kind of finance that the bank can offer in the meantime and what would it involve?
Posted 16 December 2012 - 06:53 AM
A bridging loan perhaps? But if you were purchasing the home subject to the sale of your house, you would only need to put a small deposit (I've seen deposits as smallas $50, or even none at all). There would be no need for a bridging loan, as you haven't actually purchased the other home, and won't be until and unless you sell your house. Hope this makes sense.
You would only need a bridging loan if you purchased the other house without it being subject to the sale of your house (unless there was a large gap in the settlement time on your house and the other house I would suppose).
However I'm not a conveyancer or anything, this is only what I know from personal experience. I know it can be done however, but obviously you need to talk to a legal professional of somesort. Although I guess the estate agent could give you some preliminary information about sale contracts, so you have something more to think about how you want to go about this.
Posted 16 December 2012 - 06:54 AM
Una you can ask your bank about bridging finance.
Happens quite a bit.... I think you're self employed? They will almost certainly want financials (bank that is) make sure you get a copy from your accountant before they close for Christmas.
Posted 16 December 2012 - 06:56 AM
wow, such a small deposit? That would be ideal. Yes, I do need to do more research so I thought EB would be a great place to start lol
Yes, we are self employed (both of us ) but have been for about 6 years now.
Posted 16 December 2012 - 06:56 AM
You need to speak to your solicitor and your mortgage broker/bank, to see what can be done.
Posted 16 December 2012 - 06:58 AM
Another option is to buy now with delayed settlement - say 3 to 6 months. In that time you can rent it from them if you want to move in an advertise your existing place.

I'm in Qld, so you better check out the deposit requirements where you are. But here in Qld the deposit can be negotiated, and can be very little, as long as both seller and buyer agree (at least it was when I last bought a house). However some sellers are reluctant to accept a small deposit (incase the buyer pulls out I guess??)
And yes, as per PP, delayed settlement would be another option, but if your house didn't sell within the settlement period you'd have to be aware that you would then have two houses and possibly two mortagages to support until you sold your other house. Generally speaking, I would suppose (and I'm in no way an expert at all!!! - just another house buyer like you) this is where a bridging loan would come into play??

Unless you can afford to buy the new place and keep your current place as a rental, you have two options.
1. Buy but make contract subject to selling your house within a specified period.
Advantage is that you can transfer your mortgage smoothly, as long as both properties settle on the same day. Disadvantage is that you will have to move out of your house and move into the new house on e same day. Nightmare! Major disadvantage is that the sellers of the house you are buying may not agree to enter a contract on that basis. Sellers hate prior sale clauses as it gives them no certainty for what is often a long contract that has the potential to fall over if you can't sell your current place.
2. Bridging finance
Advantage is that you can quickly proceed to buy the new place without waiting to sell your current place. You can move from one property to another at your leisure. Disadvantage is that yiu will be essentially paying for two mortgages until you sell. Bridging finance is expensive and should be a short-term option only. Major disadvantage is that you would be in a big pickle if you could not sell your current place easily, or could not sell it for the price you need.
Posted 16 December 2012 - 07:14 AM
ok thanks for all that. OUr current house is in a very good location and is renovated and has no major issues so I imagine the house would sell in the normal time frame. It si pretty "typical" for the area if not a little above average. Obviously the REA thinks it would sell quickly but I'm not going to rely too much on that one lol.

Just make sure to sell your current property for the amount required by your bank to release it as security without changing their loan to value ratio. I had many a client get burnt with bridging finance because they accepted a lower price for a quick sale on their old property just to get it out of their hair and had to end up contributing many thousands of dollars at settlement for the bank to release their security. Banks rarely allow their security ratio to be worsened.
Posted 16 December 2012 - 07:26 AM
Except in rare circumstances, a subject to sale clause is only around 14-21 days. Sellers aren't going to wait around for months waiting for you to sell. A buyer that came to me with no decent deposit and wanting a 3 month subject to sale clause would get laughed out of my house.
If you *must* have this house, then look in to bridging finance. If you can't get that, then put yours on the market and keep your fingers crossed that the other doesn't sell before yours does. If you have enough for a decent deposit, you could approach them with a subject to sale contract, but unless it has been on the market for a while, many sellers may be reluctant to accept. You can only try though, you never know your luck.
Posted 16 December 2012 - 07:39 AM
The other thing to look at with a subject to sale clause in the contract is to put in a sunset clause. Most sellers will look more favourably on contracts with these than a straight subject to sale. Essentially subject to sale with sunset clause is indefinate until you sell your house but.... They can keep advertising the house for sale. If another contract comes up on the house then you both have a specified time to put in your best and final offer.
Posted 16 December 2012 - 08:02 AM
OK, I have done what you are thinking of doing and I'm sorry to say that it's just way too stressful It is much more relaxing looking for a new property when you know that you have a buyer for your house. Once you have SOLD you become a cashed up buyer who can negotiate the best deal on your new property.
Once you have a buyer for your house it gives you way more freedom and you know exactly how much you have to work with $ wise.
When you buy before you sell, often you will pay more for the new house (because you're scared of losing it) and end up having to sell your house for less than you wanted (because you have already committed to something else and you start to feel desperate). It can be a very negative combination.
We bought a house with an extended settlement to give us 4 months to sell and it came right down to the wire...it's one of the most stressful things I have ever done...we had to take $25K less for our house because there was a time limit.
Put your house on the market straight away and maybe start the negotiation on the one you love (dangle a carrot so they keep you in the loop) but don't sign anything...I know this sounds like the boring sensible option but no house is worth that kind of stress.
I also worked in real estate for many years before children and I've seen quite a few people get into very hot water when buying before selling.
Bridging finance is an option but seriously think, what if your house didn't sell for 12 months, could you afford to pay 2 loans for that long...I know this sounds extreme but it can happen.
Also, what if you don't get the price you are expecting for your house?
If you sell first, you will be in a much better position financially and emotionally.
Put your house on the market and see what happens...if it's meant to be, the timing will just work.
Sorry if I sound like a killjoy but I am pretty passionate about this subject.
Posted 16 December 2012 - 08:31 AM
Slightly off topic and correct me if I'm wrong, but from the sounds of your post you're planning on doing a knock down rebuild in 10 years time on your new block? We're going through the same thing, and looking back I wished we had researched a bit better before buying the house. Due to a change in council regulations since the original house was built, we've had to pay $22k just to drop the driveway gradient, (complete and utter waste of money), can only build on 40% of the block (we have to build a 2 storey which i really didnt want) and because the block is super wide (which a lot of older blocks are, we only had the option of 1 project builder as all the other designs are for newer narrow blocks). If I had my time over I would of had a rough plan of what I wanted and worked out the type of block I would need to find.
I'd never take out a bridging loan, I'd buckle under the stress and end up giving our place away!

I'm in QLD too and subject to sale clauses for a couple of months are very common around here.
It's how we managed to nab our last two homes for such good prices. For our current house, the vendor originally accepted the high price offer that were conditional but spent over 6 months waiting and then have it fall through - twice! When we came along, the price had dropped over 100k because we could offer an unconditional contract.
Our previous house was sold via a tender. There were other offers greater than ours, but ours was accepted because we could offer the unconditional contract.
I personally wouldn't accept a subject to sale clause unless a substantial deposit was offered and the purchase price reflected the inconvenience. I'd also want to be able to continue advertising the property even if it was listed as 'under contract'.
Posted 17 December 2012 - 06:32 PM
Thank you all for your replies. You have given me lots to think about and a great starting point for my research. We saw the property today and another the rea wanted to show us. He thought it won't be an issue to get a delayed settlemt and ours should sell fast. Looking at potential building sites I realize how important it will be to get preapprovals from council etc. Visiting with the architect next and taking him to the site.

A new path: Hamid waving goodbye to the officers and staff members of the Sungai Udang prison following his early release as his daughter and grandson look on.
MALACCA: The first thing ex-prisoner Hamid plans to do after he is granted early release from the Sungai Udang Prison is to meet his youngest daughter, who is studying in Alor Gajah.
The 58-year-old, who was released 14 days early due to good behaviour, said he would celebrate with his family.
After spending 12 years in prison for a sex crime, Hamid said he is now a new man.
"I remember feeling surprised and grateful at the same time after I was told by a Malacca Prisons Department officer three days ago that I would be given a special early release.
"My feelings were beyond words and I thank Allah for everything," he said when met after his release at the prisons complex here.
Hamid said he gained a lot of knowledge and experience during his prison days.
"I learned a lot about my religion and how to read the Quran with the help of several religious teachers here.
"I taught other prisoners about what I had learned besides becoming an imam at the prison.
"I am truly grateful for the rehabilitation that has totally changed me and the second chance given to me," said the father of five from Johor.
Hamid noted that he also picked up the art of wood carving during his prison days and obtained a Malaysian Skills Certificate Level 1 in woodwork.
Asked on his plans for the future, Hamid said he is looking forward to reuniting and spending time with his children and grandchildren to make up for the time he had lost.
He later left the prison complex with his 28-year-old daughter and six-year-old grandson.
Malacca Prisons Department director Nor Afifi Sulong said this was the first early release at the prison since it opened four years ago.
"The consideration for early release is based on several criteria, such as good behaviour and no wrong-doing in prison throughout the sentence.
"We have eight others here who serve as role models to other prisoners," he added.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
17 Mar 2013 10:14 GMT | Politics, Middle East, US & Canada, Iraq, Syria
An al-Qaeda-linked group has claimed responsibility for a coordinated suicide bomb and gun attack on the country's justice ministry last week that killed at least 18 people.
Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), an umbrella group for al Qaeda-linked fighters, said in a statement published online on Sunday that it had ordered the suicide bombers to attack the building floor by floor and "liquidate" its enemies inside.
"In a blessed raid among a series of operations for revenge... Baghdad's knights undermined another vicious bastion which was always a tool against Sunnis, torturing, terrifying, imprisoning and executing them," the group said in the statement.
The assault near the heavily fortified Green Zone, where several Western embassies and government offices are located, fanned fears about Iraq's still fragile security a decade after the US-led invasion ousted late President Saddam Hussein.
"Baghdad's knights undermined another vicious bastion which was always a tool against Sunnis, torturing, terrifying, imprisoning and executing them."
- Al-Qaeda, online statement
Three car bombs exploded and a suicide bomber blew himself up in broad daylight in the heart of the capital on Thursday.
Another suicide bomber then walked into the justice ministry and set off his device while armed men attacked the building. Iraqi security forces eventually regained control.
Overall, at least 18 people were killed and more than 30 wounded, security and medical officials said. But ISI claimed to have killed 60 people, according to a statement distributed by the SITE monitoring service on Sunday.
Iraq's power-sharing government has been all but paralysed since US troops left more than a year ago. Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, a Shia, is facing protests in the country's Sunni heartland, which shares a porous border with Syria.
'Deadliest region'
Violence has intensified as Sunni opposition protests have swelled and Iraq's al-Qaeda affiliate has urged the protesters to take up arms against the government.
Live Box 20111212125010827866
Britain-based Iraq Body Count (IBC), meanwhile, published a study which concluded that at least 112,000 civilians have been killed in the 10 years since the invasion of Iraq.
It said that, including combatants on all sides of the decade-long conflict as well as yet undocumented fatalities, the figure could rise as high as 174,000.
IBC said that, over the years, Baghdad had been, and still is, the deadliest region, accounting for 48 percent of all deaths, while the conflict was bloodiest between 2006 and 2008.
It noted that violence remains high, with annual civilian deaths of between four and five thousand - roughly equivalent to the total number of coalition forces killed from 2003 up to the US military withdrawal in December 2011, at 4,804.
Iraq's military and police are persistently described by Iraqi and US officials as capable of maintaining internal security, but are unable to protect the country's borders, airspace and maritime territory.
But attacks such as the March 14 assault remain common, in addition to a vast array of shootings and bombings nationwide, killing hundreds of people on a monthly basis.
