Deutsche Welcomes Staff to Life in Kowloon
Moving from Central to West Kowloon can be a trying experience for some Hong Kong bankers, who tend to live on the island side of the harbor. Deutsche Bank AG employees settling into new digs in International Commerce Centre received welcome gifts to help with the transition.
According to one employee who recently made the move, the gifts include an umbrella, a pedometer and an Octopus debit card, auspiciously topped up with HK$888, or about US$115, of credit.
The Octopus card – possibly a new possession for some bankers spoiled by Hong Kong's ubiquitous, cheap taxis — is a practical reminder that the MTR will no doubt be the fastest way to shuttle between client meetings in Central and the home office in Kowloon.
The pedometer might be seen as a warning about the mileage commuters will rack up meandering through the MTR Central station's long connecting tunnels and Elements mall.
However, given the ICC's relative isolation, the umbrella might not get much use as dining and entertainment options are restricted to the Elements biosphere, at least for now.
Deutsche Bank, which will occupy 12 flooors with an option to lease as many as 18, aims to complete its move by next month. It joins Morgan Stanley, which first started moving in at the end of 2008, and Credit Suisse Group, which has already started moving staff over and is supposed to finish the switchover in 2011.

Expats living abroad: investment strategy

Owning property in a foreign country tends to be more popular among longer term expats, many of whom are in Thailand.

The other day Madison and I went back in the yard and played with my old lacross stick from High School. I'm not sure I've ever seen her more excited to be with mommie. It was the best feeling just to watch her face as I would give her praise for each good throw or catch -- she was so happy!
Happiness is a funny thing. It's so easy to get tangled up in the if I had or when I get this then I'll be happy game. Adam were talking last night about this crazy culture we live in -- how in the world did we let ourselves as smart human beings allow ourselves to get so brainwashed by our own people -- allowing others to tell us what will make us happy.

The loud, rapid song, full of trills and sweet notes, rings out from the orange bracken and the yellowing bramble bushes. Sometimes they sing from cover, sometimes they will come out and sing more boldly from the top of a bush. Then you can see how their whole tiny body shakes as they sing, and get a good view for a moment or two of their finely barred brown plumage. Sometimes they have their tail cocked. They are aggressive birds, advancing on another wren that

How Karl Lagerfeld Behaves in the Wild
"It was the most amazing thing."
Alison Mosshart of the Kills told British Vogue, "One time, I was at Café de Flore in Paris and he was sitting outside on a bench on the pavement almost like a statue — it was the most amazing thing ... People kept walking by, sitting down next to him and having their photos taken and then they'd get up and walk away. He didn't say a word."

Tripura from New Delhi to take stock of the situation ahead of the election campaigning by top Congress leaders later this month. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice-president Rahul Gandhi are scheduled to visit the state to address rallies ahead of the assembly election on February 14.
Prime Minister Singh will address poll rally on February 9, followed by Sonia Gandhi's rally on February 10 and Rahul Gandhi on February 11. Rahul Gandhi was earlier supposed to hold his rally on February 8 but it was postponed owing to organization reasons.
The SPG group members inspected two probable venues in Dharmanagar where Rahul will hold his rally and also at Ambasa where PM Singh will address an election rally. They will also go to Agartala where Sonia Gandhi will address her rally and Bilonia, another venue for Rahul Gandhi. The team members also spoke to local police officers and state and central intelligence personnel. The three top leaders of the Congress will visit Tripura only after the SPG submits its final report.
The team will leave the state only after the trio completes their campaigning for the upcoming polls where the Congress will be looking to topple the 20-year-old regime of the Left.

A new report on a bullying incident in the NFL says an Ole Miss player was partly to blame.
An NFL-ordered investigation found Jonathan Martin was subjected to "a pattern of harassment" that included racist slurs and vicious sexual taunts about his mother and sister by three Miami Dolphin teammates.
The report said Richie Incognito, who the Dolphins suspended in November, offensive lineman and Ole Miss grad John Jerry and offensive lineman Mike Pouncey harassed Martin, as well as another defensive lineman and an assistant trainer.
Lawyer Ted Wells released his report Friday.
Wells says his inquiry found Martin was routinely taunted and ridiculed. The other player, whose name was not released, was "subjected to homophobic name-calling and improper physical touching," while the assistant trainer was subjected to racial slurs.
The report rejected claims that Martin made up the claims of abuse.
Martin left the team in October, saying he was harassed daily by teammates.

Persuasion Memory and the Past Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
A few months had seen the beginning and the end of their acquaintance; but not with a few months ended Anne's share of suffering from it. Her attachment and regrets had, for a long time, clouded every enjoyment of youth, and an early loss of bloom and spirits had been their lasting effect. (4.6)
Time is subjective – through the impact it had on her and the space it takes up in her memory, the episode with Wentworth seems much larger to Anne than the calendar says it was.
Quote #2
How eloquent could Anne Elliot have been! how eloquent, at least, were her wishes on the side of early warm attachment, and a cheerful confidence in futurity, against that over-anxious caution which seems to insult exertion and distrust Providence! She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older: the natural sequel of an unnatural beginning. (4.9)
Anne's experience suggests that in some cases it's better for young people to make their own decisions – they might be mistaken, but older people don't necessarily know any better. While Anne has gotten wiser as she got older, that wisdom tells her to do something totally different than what the supposedly older-and-wiser people told her to do at the time.
Quote #3
Soon, however, she began to reason with herself, and try to be feeling less. Eight years, almost eight years had passed, since all had been given up. How absurd to be resuming the agitation which such an interval had banished into distance and indistinctness! What might not eight years do? Events of every description, changes, alienations, removals--all, all must be comprised in it, and oblivion of the past--how natural, how certain too! It included nearly a third part of her own life. Alas! with all her reasoning, she found, that to retentive feelings eight years may be little more than nothing. (7.28)
Emotion trumps reason here – despite her best efforts, Anne is unable to explain away her feelings. Just saying "this is the way things should be" doesn't actually make them so. Why does she think that Wentworth's feelings have been more reasonable than her own?

The language requires that sub-objects (bases and data members) are
initialized in the order they are declared. The order specified in an
initializer list does not matter. A compiler may warn you that you will
not get the order you have used in an initializer list.
To avoid such warnings, use the declaration order in every initializer list.

Cash, Points, or Miles: Which Rewards Credit Card is King?
2 Comments |
**Today's guest post is contributed by Dough Roller**.
Whenever you're presented with credit card offers, whether through the mail or online, there is always a selling point from the issuer. Some cards reward points for every purchase that can later be redeemed for merchandise while others can hook consumers via travel rewards and free flights around the world. However, there's always been, and will always be only one type of credit card that outperforms all others, and that's the cash back credit card.
Mechanics Behind Rewards Cards
The mathematics on why cash back credit cards are a better value for consumers is easy to understand. You see, credit card issuers offer rewards on credit cards by creating their own conversion rate. If you own a travel rewards credit card, you earn points for every dollar spent. That's also true for other types of rewards credit cards. Then, after you've collected your points, it's time to see what they're worth.
After you browse your rewards opportunities, you'll quickly see that tens of thousands of points don't go as far as you would expect. The basic conversion rate if you would like to turn those points into cash is for every 100 points, you have $1 earned. Should you turn your points into merchandise, the conversion rate gets worse and before you know it, all that money you've spent on your credit card doesn't bring in as much in rewards as you first thought. The BEST you can do is earn 1 cent for each point you've accumulated and even that is rare to find.
Why Cash Is Still King
But with a cash back credit card, that won't happen. The cash you earn is usually no lower than 1% on all purchases, with an opportunity to earn 5% on rotating categories throughout the year and possibly more than 20% if you shop online through your credit card issuer's website. If you so desire, that money can then be turned into merchandise and you won't be limited to the rewards catalog of your issuer. The money can be spent anywhere, on anything.
In addition to the cash back offer you receive, most credit card issuers are now offering a $100 cash bonus, just for signing up. Last but not least, you'll also find that many points and travel rewards credit cards carry annual fees, whereas not a single card classified as a "cash back" card will carry an annual fee.
So instead of signing up for that travel rewards credit card, flying across the world to earn points and then be restricted in how you use those points, why not sign up for a cash back credit card, earn more money than you ever would with any other type of credit card and then be allowed to spend it as you wish. Go ahead and do the math on how much you can save and I guarantee you'll always save more with a card like the Chase Freedom.
This of course is not to say that other types of credit cards cannot come in handy for certain situations. The Blue Sky Preferred from American Express (a Credit Karma advertiser) offers $100 in travel allowances each year. There are certainly a lot of quality non-cash back credit cards in the world today but if you're using anything ousther than a cash back credit card for all of your day-to-day purchases, you're not as frugal a shopper as you should be.

People can't play the hot new SimCity game and it's causing an uproar. Server issues have prevented gamers from playing the game, which can only be played when connected to the Internet. Though EA and Maxis have taken measures to fix the problems, the game still isn't working properly. As a result, Amazon has suspended all digital orders of the game on its site after reviews were at one star. (You can still purchase the boxed version of the game.) In response to the server delays, save problems, and glitches people started airing frustrations on Reddit and EA forums.

Peonies - Spots on leaves
Question: Why do peony leaves and foliage develop
spots and blotches and then die by late summer?
Answer: There are several peony leaf diseases
which can cause foliage symptoms and death. The most common of
these is Botrytis blight (gray mold) caused by the fungus Botrytis
This fungus can infect shoots, stems, leaves, and flowers anytime
during moist periods in spring and summer, causing infected parts
to turn brown and die. Another disease, caused by the fungus Cladosporium
paeoniae, causes small red spots which can coalesce to form
irregular purple blotches on leaves and stems. Red spot can lead
to deterioration of peony foliage by late summer as can several
other leaf spots caused by fungi such as Alternaria, Cercospora,
Septoria, and other fungi. All of these fungal diseases of peony
are favored by wet weather and infections begun in spring may
eventually cause severe symptoms later in summer. Gardeners can
reduce disease in the following ways: increase plant spacing
to improve air circulation and keep humidity lower, prune away
shading vegetation from nearby trees and shrubs, avoid wetting
foliage when watering, remove and destroy diseased foliage and
blighted stems in the fall. Fungicides are available for home
garden use to help prevent peony foliar diseases. Check fungicide
labels for timing and rates to use for peony diseases.

Col Iyo Abaar - War & Drought
By: Bashir Goth
Col iyo Abaar, war and drought, were the historical enemies of the Somali people; the two disasters that played havoc with their nomadic life.
The fear of these combined calamities was so engraved in the Somali psyche that it manifests itself in their prayers; Ilaahow Col Iyo Abaarba Naga Hay (O' God spare us from both war and drought). There was also no ills worse to invoke when cursing an enemy than to curse them with war and drought; Col iyo Abaari ku Qaadday or Col iyo Abaari Kula Tagtay are both curses that bid you to be taken away or snatched away by the twin terrors.
Nabad iyo Caano (Peace and Milk) was the antidote to Col iyo Abaar. And if the rainy season was exceptionally good and the pasture was abundant, then it was a time of Bashbash iyo Barwaaqo"; a time of splash and abundance or prosperity".
For Somali nomads, therefore, Nabad iyo Caano was their best time, it was for them a time of Nimco Ilaah (God's bounty). It was when both people and their livestock and in fact all plants and creatures on earth had Biyo iyo Baad (water and food). Without rain, Somalis live on dead earth.
When I met my wife for the first time many years ago, all she knew about Somalia other than a story she heard as a child about the Mad Mullah was that: "It was a dry land that came to life after rain." Surprisingly, this was the first time in my life that I took note of my country described in such a graphic and indeed a realistic way. Sometimes, we need to see ourselves through the eyes of others.
It is no wonder that fatalism holds sway over the Somali people as their life hangs on the forces of nature and the Will of God, for who else but: "Allah sends down water from the sky and by it brings the dead earth back to life. (Surat an-Nahl, 65).
The Somali farmer can throw seeds to the ground, but he knows that without rain he should not expect to harvest them. If rain fails to come, then there is nothing he can do but look to the sky and pray. It was at a moment like this that a Somali farmer expressed his plight in the following biting lines:
"Illayn laguma doog dhabo hadhuud
Roob an kugu daadan
Cirka meel dushaada ah illayn
Dooxid lama gaadhid…"
Today, the Somali people, as in many times in the past, face the apocalyptic double hit of Col iyo Abaar.
Of the two, however, it is the Abaar that devastates the lives of the nomad. It is referred to as Abaar iyo Oodo Lulul, drought and tree shaking, as Somali nomads shake trees with their traditional hangools – a kind of a stick with a hook- to fall dry leaves for their livestock). One can run away from an enemy and avoid the areas of hostilities, but one cannot escape drought, particularly when it hits across traditional grazing areas. This is why the collective memory of the Somali people records the worst droughts that devastated the people through history.
Known by their telltale names that give graphic description of their catastrophic impacts on people's lives and livelihood, some of the best memorized droughts include: Abaalees, the one that overran everyone and everywhere; Liqa iyo Qutura, the one that swallowed and stayed unyielding; Arbacadii, the one that started on the year that began on Wednesday; Xaaraamo Cune, the one during which people were forced to eat the inedible or legally prohibited food; Hawa Rida, the one that humiliated every proud person; and Jaahweyn, the one that stared at people in the face for a long time.
Also remembered are Maadh Gambiya, the one that devoured all wealth; Hayaan Dheer, the one that forced people to travel long distances; Siigacase the one with red sandstorms; Jaan Ma Reeba, the one that didn't spare a single shoe as even shoes were boiled and eaten for food; Haarriya, the slow moving and grinding one; Bariis Guradkii, when the people were forced to eat rice which was an alien grain to the Somali people at the time; Sima, the equalizer as it made all people equal in misery and penury; Dooryaanle, the one that was characterized by the enormous quantity of worms it produced due to the enormous number of carcasses of dead animals around; and Daba Dheer, the long tailed – the never ending one.
When droughts last long and people and livestock perish, the only option the surviving people have is to seek refuge in a place which is mostly far and alien. In the old days the name for this torturous journey was Daaduun (escaping from famine and poverty). The word Qaxooti which is today's parlance for refugees was used in the old days for people running from war and hostility but not from famine. Just like we see them doing today, the people on Daaduun would travel as far as their weak legs could take them, as far as their last drop of water could last them, and as far as the famished, haggard and malnourished children could make to the nearest graveyard or the nearest help whichever came first. But today, Somalis are running for Qax iyo Daaduun -both running from war and from drought's famine).
Watching the news with my son and hearing that each day around 1500 people arrive in Kenya, he quipped: "Aabbo, if the Somalis leave the country in this rate and I know your population is small, I wonder, if anyone will remain in it." He is a college student now and I remember addressing him in a poem I wrote when he was yet unborn telling him about the misery of the Somali people:
"…Insha Allaahu dhib yari iyo caafimaad
Waad ku soo dhalane
Ilmayohow la wada dhawraya
Bal an war kuu dhiibo
Hadday adiga nabadi kuu dhantahay
Dheregna aad hayso
Ood caalamkaba dhexdaa hooyadaa
Moodday dhummucdiisa
Adduunyada dhib baa joogta iyo
Dhiilo iyo ciile
Dhawrtay isku laayeen tolkay
Dhiigna loo qubaye
Waxa dhagarta loo galay anaan
Dhiilka la ii shubine
Gobannimadii loo dhaxay runtii
Gaalka lagu dhoofshay
Haweenkiiba kama dhaashadaan
Dhiilahaan lulaye
Dhul aan kuugu faaniyo ma lihi
Dhoobo iyo ciide
Dhagax buu Ilaahay ka dhigay
Ani dhankaygiiye
Dhawrkii bilood buu habeen
Dhibic ku tiixaaye
Dhuuni baan ka raadcaynayaa
Qooddi dhabarkiiye
Awr baaban weli dhaansadaa
Dhererka jiilaale
Dhallaankii harraad bay dhugteen
Dhabarka saarraaye
Ceelkii dhicirta weynaa beryahan
Looma dhaadhicine
Dadkaygii dhammaayo ma hadhin
Ruux ad dhugataaye
Iskadaa qabiil nin u dhintuu
Loogay dhirifkiiye
Dhilmaanyaaba weli laysa iyo
Dhaxanta dayreede…" (Laba Dhuux, 1989)
Since then the world has changed beyond recognition. The Berlin Wall fell, the Soviet Union had collapsed the cold war had come to an end; the information technology has made the world a global village. But even after two decades, just like the many decades before, the conditions remain the same for Africa. Nothing changes in Africa. It is either war, brother killing a brother, or drought, or both of them. Daaduun and Qaxooti all along. It is as if time stands still as I referred to it in the following stanzs:
"…Afrikay dhagax dixeed
Miyaad sidii dheri jajabay
Duleedka u dhooban tahay
Dharaartii soo baxdiyo
Habeenkii loo dhaxaba
Waqtigu ku dul dhereran yahay ?
Waa kani dhiigii qulqulay
Haraha dhacadiida ee
Sidii durdur loo dhurtee
Miyaan ciiduba dhergeyn ?
Miyaanuu ubad dhallaan
Dhirif li'i seexanayan ?
Awrtani dhoomaha sidee
Jiilaallada dheelidiyo
Miyaan dhaankuba degayn ?
Samada aan dheehdayeen
Quraanka u dheelmiyiyo
Miyaan ducaduba dhalayn ?… (Dhuxusha Ka Madoobiyaa, 1999)
Even long before that I was, like many of my country people, lamenting the centuries old misfortune of my country and Africa; a misfortune that has become an everlasting viscous circle where the agony and distress expressed in a poem stands vividly valid over nearly 30 years as the day it was penned down. It gives me no comfort to read the following poem Qiiro that I wrote in December 1984 and was listened by many people back then in audio cassettes to be shocked that the conditions stand the same.
"Qab-qabta waddankeena
Qalaanqalka taagan
Wanaagga la qoomay
Qiyaama jooga
Rasaasta qarxaysa
Qaxootiga daadsan
Abaarta la qiiqay
Hooyada qaxarkeega
Ilmaha ka qandhaysan
Qareena u weyday
Ilmada ku qubaysa
Odayga qulubkiisa
Dhulkuu qodanaayey
Hashuu u quminaayey
Abaari ka qaaday
Carruurta qadoodi
Caloosha qarraadhay
Qorraxda duhurkiiya
Ku beer qadhqadhaysa
Intuu qalbigoodu
Ka qoonsan lahaa
Miyuu shir qabiilo
Qalqaashay dadkaygu- (Qiiro, December 10, 1984). You can the full poem at my blog.
So is this the destiny of the Somali people, one may ask? To which I could give a resounding NO; simply because as Somalis we are not less than other human beings in the world. In fact the Somali people are a very industrious race with great resilience. Their survival skills and entrepreneurship are proverbial. We are not also less patriotic than any other race in the world. On the contrary, one can argue that the root cause of the current debacle of the Somali people is patriotism went awry. They are the victims of their own nationhood and their legitimate dream and struggle to unite their race in one state and under one flag. An unlucky nation in hostile surroundings, they found themselves like a lone wolf in an unfriendly environment and a world dumb to their cries for justice.
As frustration breeds desperation and helplessness, it is natural in such a situation for brothers-in-arms to turn against one another and descend into a macabre condition of absurd proportions. The situation turns hellish also when the nature itself plays its hand.
No one can doubt also the hospitality and the generosity of the Somali people, a character that is deep-rooted in their nomadic culture. One thing we Somalis lack however is a sense of community and cultural cohesiveness. Just like our nomadic life when families moved together, settled together, fought together, died together and survived together in bloodlines, we still do the same and segregate ourselves in bloodlines even when we migrated to distant lands.
Visit any metropolitan in the world such as Nairobi, Dubai, Riyadh, London, Amsterdam, Melbourne, Ottawa, Minneapolis and Washington D.C and it will take you no time to find where your clan members gather. You may stay as long as you wish and unless you deliberately go out of your way to search for old classmates and old friends who may not be related to you by blood, you may end up not seeing any Somali per se but your own clan members. We do this while we see other African brothers such as Ethiopians, Sudanese, Kenyans and others making their own communities despite their differences in ethnicity, culture, religion and language.
If our brothers from the Horn of Africa can do, there is no reason why we cannot also do it. But only if we learn that our short term political differences and interests should not impede our long term goals to prosper and work together as a community. Only then we will be able to feel our collective pain, we will be able to lean on each other, and by pooling the few bucks that each one of us can afford we can make a difference. One can easily fall, but to rise needs an effort and sometimes a help and I am sure as Somalis in the Diaspora, we have the capacity and I am sure the desire to do it, if we appeal to our sense of community and put our political differences aside.
Being in every corner of the world, I am sure as Somalis we are today stronger and more resourceful than we have been at earlier times. All we need is an organized effort to lift the misery of our people back home with the help of the international community. The misery is not eternal and the day will come when the media of the world will talk about our fortunes to the world instead of our misfortunes. And as I sang about the suffering of our nation, I also sang about my dreams of good days to come. And come they will if we all adopt and internalize the passion and optimism that exudes from the following stanzas of the following poem Walbahaarku Wuu Tegi ( the misery will go).
"…Dalkaygow wallaahiye
Warwarkiyo waxyeeladu
Cidna lama walaaloo
Qofna weerka dhiilada
Wehel looma siiyoo
Kuma waaro ciilkee
Waxad wayda haysaba

Abe Stays Away From Yasukuni
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe chose not to visit Tokyo's controversial Yasukuni Shrine at the start of its autumn festival, in an apparent move to avoid exacerbating tensions with Japan's Asian neighbors.
Mr. Abe instead made a ritual offering to coincide with the start of the four-day autumn event, the shrine said, an indication that he is highly unlikely to make a visit during the festival. The making of the offering was criticized by South Korea, nevertheless.
The premier's apparent caution over making a visit comes despite saying earlier this year that his decision not to go to the shrine during his first stint as premier in 2006-2007 was "regrettable."
The shrine honors Japan's 2.5 million war dead but also enshrines several convicted war criminals, making it a source of frayed tensions with China and South Korea. Both countries view Yasukuni as glorifying Japan's militaristic past.
No serving Japanese prime minister has visited the shrine since 2006, though occasional visits by senior cabinet members have met with strong criticism from Japan's immediate neighbors in Asia.
The prime minister similarly stayed away from the shrine on the Aug. 15 anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II to avoid a head-on crash with neighbors wary of what they see as a "rightward shift" in Japan's foreign policy under Mr. Abe. However, three junior members of his cabinet and dozens of members of parliament visited the shrine, drawing angry reactions from Beijing and Seoul.
It remains to be seen whether similar visits by cabinet members will take place during the autumn festival.
During a three-day annual spring festival Yasukuni held in April, Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso and three other cabinet ministers visited the shrine.
A spokesperson for the Shinto shrine said Mr. Abe made an offering of a Y50,000 ($500) masakaki sacred tree branch for the autumn festival. Mr. Abe's name and formal title was inscribed on the branch. Health minister Norihisa Tamura made a similar offering.
A South Korean foreign ministry spokesperson expressed "profound concern and regret" over Mr. Abe's decision to make the ritual offering.
Earlier in the day, a Japanese government spokesman said Mr. Abe's decision to make the offering had been made in a personal capacity.
"I believe it's only natural, both nationally and internationally, to put one's hands together and offer prayers and show respect for those who perished fighting for their country," Katsunobu Kato, deputy chief cabinet secretary, told reporters Thursday.
"But the government does not have any specific views to share on the matter since the prime minister and health minister were acting as private individuals," he said.
Tokyo's ties between Beijing and Seoul remain icy over ongoing territorial disputes and the legacy of Japan's wartime aggression. Mr. Abe briefly encountered and shook hands with Chinese President Xi Jinping this month on the sidelines of an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Indonesia, but a formal meeting has been rejected by China due to the dispute over islands in the East China Sea.
Mr. Abe has yet to hold formal talks with the Chinese and South Korean leaders since assuming office last December.

Although I think this particular error could be ignored, the kernel oops a
bit later is probably what kills the install.
As this is obviously a kernel issue rather than an installer issue, I'd
suggest that you send this info to the upstream kernel developers (mail
to firstname.lastname@example.com, CC firstname.lastname@example.com; or file a
bug report at bugzilla.kernel.org). Just the dmesg output should be
I'm also reassigning this report to the Debian kernel team, but your best
bet to get this issue looked into and solved is to contact the upstream
developers directly.
Note that they may ask you to try with a more recent kernel than 2.6.22.
One thing you could try before doing that is to try an installation using
a netboot image. Sun blades have been notoriously problematic to install
from CD.

Good fit and finish after a little elbow grease.The crates in which these are shipped really don't stand up well. I received mine with a crate that was smashed and falling apart and the toolbox was smashed as well, with the accessories rolling around in the bottom. I was missing the MT3 dead center along with a belt and allen wrench. I called HF and within a few minutes had the replacements on order at no charge. Beware that this unit does not come with a splash guard either, despite the online image showing otherwise and no specific disclaimer in the online item description. HF will be sending me one of those as well, but I will have to drill and tap the mounting holes for it. No problem. It was covered in manufacturing debris, which consisted of metal shavings, grit, dirt and caked oil. It took me a few hours and some mineral spirits to wash it all off and readjust everything. Now it looks nice and feels smooth. It cleans up well.

I've had this unit about 8 months, use it primarily for small prototype projects three to four times a week.A very nice lathe for the price I paid.I tried a 7 X 10 loaner model (same brand) but it was a) too weak and b) too small. I needed a 4" inch chuck. So I had to opt for this heavier unit.I'm not happy that the toolholders didn't fit in the square head-I had to mill them down to size.

Had lathe since 2006
By DBN

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Central-Machinery 8 in. x 12 in. Precision Benchtop Lathe:
It's a great overall lathe - I got it when the price made sense. MTR caps tend to fail - I switched to a VFD but be aware original mtr is metric mount and not quite std even for metric. Carriage handles a tad off- added bushings - heck, I have a lathe, it's easy.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

5 years and going strong.
By Jagger
from Central Wisconsin
I've had and used the lathe for about 5 years now. I compared lathes online and gave serious consideration to the 7x. The problem is the harbor freight did not have this 8x in the showroom. I bit the bullet and ordered it sight unseen. Though the physical dimensions make the two lathe seem similar, the 8x easily four times as capable of a machine. I am extremely happy with the choice to go with the 8x. The biggest problem I've had with the machine is a clunking sound it developed. Thought I might need to replace the bearings. Turns out I just needed to tighten the belt pulley nut.

I love it!

Great lathe. Certainly the best bang for your buck for a mini lathe. Used to be really cheap, now the price is increasing. People are starting to realize what a great deal it is.

8x12 lathe
By Alf
from Lake Charles, LA
I researched mini lathes thoroughly before buying an 8x12. Best minilathe on the market. I paid [$] [...] Ready to use out of the box with no problems. I prefer the belt drive to circuit board variable speed.

Great Machine!!
By Dan C.
from Undisclosed
While this is not any different than the 8x14" lathes from other vendors that I can tell, it is certainly a super value. The 8x12" from HF actually is an 8x14" from my measurements. It is MUCH heavier and larger than the 7x10 lathes, and has more power. It is quite simply a much better machine than the 7" lathes. I also noticed that the play and tolerances are way better than the 7x or 9x lathes, doesn't require 10 hours of fiddling and adjusting to take the backlash and slop out of the components and slides, it was set up well out of the box. The extra weight (around 200-250 lbs) of this thing certainly makes for a stronger, stiffer machine than the 7x and 9x lathes. I am quite pleased so far as I have had it about 3 yrs now. It is not a South Bend or Atlas by any means, but for the money it was certainly a bargain. I would like to see HF handle more accessories for this great product!!

Good Lathe
By Josh
My only complant after 5 yrs of owning one is the lack of QCGB but its easy enough to change the gears just takes time you dont always have.--That and I can only fine accessorys online
Good candidate for CNC conversion
By Kevin
I have been doing a slow conversion of this lathe over the past year. I'm converting the mini-mill too (HF44991) and have used this lathe to machine the ball-screws needed for CNC.Gear changes for threading are a bit confusing and time consuming at first, but get simpler with practice. Since all the gearing will not be required for CNC, I don't see the need for a quick change gear box anyway.I replaced the motor with a 3-phase 3/4HP motor and VFD to achieve variable speeds. All in all a fairly sturdy chuck of pot-metal!

Great lathe
By Joe
I bought mine about 3 years ago. It worked out of the box. With skill I can hold 0.0005"Replaced some of the EZ-strip screws with some new ones, but that's about all the repairs it needed.

Excellent product
By Al Fiallos
Worked right out of the box. A little cleanup and making solid cuts. I bought this lathe based on the excellent reviews it got on the internet. Comes with everything you need but cutting tools and those were in stock at my local HF store. Cant say enough good about it.

great lathe
By jb
from ann arbor, michigan
About Me Professional
this comes ready to cut out of the box. Its solid and a pleasure to use. I use it as a toolroom lathe to support a 30k$ cnc gang tool lathe. I make parts for the big lathe like mounting feet and bar feeder parts. The three jaw chuck that comes with the lathe is adequate for nearly everything. A 3 jaw is centered to .003. That may not sound very good, but after you turn the piece, that goes away. the drawbacks of the machine include lack of a motor speed control. Also, I was able to stall out the spindle by drilling too hard. These are not problems though. I have owned larger and smaller lathes, and this is a good size.

Green Day - Scattered Lyrics
Reminds me of the times we shared.
Makes me wish that you were here.
Now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life.
All the songs have been erased.
Guess I've learned from my mistakes.
Open the past and present.
Now and we are there.
Story to tell and I am listening.
Open the past and present.
And the future too.
It's all I've got and I'm giving it up to you.
Loose ends tied in knots.
Leaving a lump down in my throat.
Gagging on a souvenir.
Lodged to fill another year.
Drag it on and on until my skin is ripped to shreds.
Leaving myself wide open.
Living out a sacrifice.
If you got no one and I've got no place to go, would it be alright?
Could it be alright?

With South Park already released, which license would you like to see Obsidian take on?
In a new interview with CVG, Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart has said the studio would love to make a Skyrim-like game and was similarly enthusiastic about the prospect (however unlikely as they may be) of returning to the Star Wars and Fallout franchises.
Obsidian is currently developing Pillars of Eternity and a new Kickstarter from should be revealed soon.
Would you like to see the developer take on more licenses or forge its own IPs?
