Hey all - looking for some insight: I bought a house about 3 months ago that has an in-ground concrete/plaster pool and spa combo. The spa has the typical barrier wall w/ overflow configuration where it dumps into the pool while the pump is on or when there is a high bather load. The spa is built so that the water level in it should sit higher (by about 6 inches) than that of the pool, even when everything is sitting idle. My problem is that when the filter cycle completes each morning and the pump turns off, the water level in the spa slowly drops over a few hours until the water level in the spa is even w/ the pool. This exposes a 2 to 3" high band of plaster below the water-line tile and also the top of the first bench.
I know exposing pool plaster for extended periods of time (and letting it bake in the sun all day) is a bad thing, so I've been trying to fix this. So far, I have rebuilt one check valve on the pump discharge to the spa, but this has not remedied the problem. I think it has to be a plumbing issue in conjunction w/ the pool rather than a leak, b/c the water doesn't ever drop below the pool water line. Any thoughts?

I'm really excited to share this brilliant new local brand as I think it will music to the ears of MANY of you with sensitive skin…..but still bound by your duty to CLEAN!
Real World is the result of some real world problems for a real world Mum!
Hawkes Bay based Nicola Mossman had reached the end of her tether when it came to her dry, sensitive hands suffering from the daily dunking in hot soapy water when cooking/cleaning for a family of six. On speaking to friends and comparing the deep cracks that emerged around her nails, she discovered that she wasn't the only one!
So – Nic got to work and began researching ways to develop her own dishwashing liquid that would be free of the harsh, drying chemicals that were causing her so many issues.
The result has not only been a drastic improvement in the happiness of Nicola's hands but a range of plant based products free of sulphates, silicons, parabens, toxins, petrochemicals, artificial dyes or colours with no testing on animals. Essentially its the real deal that won't cause your skin strife as you get on with your day!
Enjoy the introduction to the dishwashing liquid, hand wash and hand cream below….its nice AND good looking!!

On Sunday two border control officers were ambushed by wonderful people Democrats want to make citizens as they were trying to illegally cross into the United States. They were beaten with rocks and one of the agents.
Democrats are advocating for open borders so that we can have thousands of more people like this walking the streets of our company. The second agent, whose name has not been released yet is still in the hospital. Somehow Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Maxine Waters and Dick Durbin will find a way to blame the agents themselves and of course Donald Trump.
Responding agents transported both agents to a local hospital, where Martinez passed away from his injuries. His partner, whose name has not been released by CBP, remains hospitalized in serious condition.
In a statement released Sunday, CBP confirmed Martinez's death but did not provide details about the circumstances leading to the incident. Shortly after CBP's confirmation, Breitbart Texas reported that representatives of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) were told by local border agents that illegal immigrants attacked Martinez and his partner.
"What we know is that Border Patrol Agent Rogelio Martinez appears to have been ambushed by a group of illegal aliens whom he was tracking," Brandon Judd, president of the NBPC, told Breitbart Texas. "Our agents' reports from the ground say that he was struck in the head multiple times with a rock or rocks."
This is the very reason this country needs to protect our borders and know who is coming into the country. Democrats, however, do not care because they are safe in their big houses in their gated communities. It's the little people who have to be out on the streets who need to be afraid. Remember Officer Martinez when you vote.

New Data Released by USDA
One in eight households in the District of Columbia struggled with hunger during the 2007-2009 period, according to new data released by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Nationally, more than 50 million people lived in households that were food insecure in 2009 – up from 49.1 million in 2008 and 36.2 million in 2007.
Among the 12.9 percent of people in District households considered to be food insecure during the 2007-2009 period, 4.5 percent were living in households that were considered to have "very low food security." People that fall into this USDA category had more severe problems experiencing hunger and cutting back or skipping meals on a more frequent basis for both adults and children.
D.C. Hunger Solutions noted, however, that the state numbers are averages of years from both before and after the start of the recession. They therefore almost certainly understate the extent of food insecurity in Washington, D.C. in 2009 and, in all likelihood, today. To report food insecurity in each state, USDA uses three-year averages to compensate for limited sample sizes and give a better estimate of the number of households experiencing hunger – thus the state data are an average for 2007-2009. 2008 was the first year of the recession, and unemployment did not rise sharply until the second half of that year.
For a current snapshot of hunger during the recession, D.C. Hunger Solutions points to data on food hardship in 2009 released by the Food Research and Action Center earlier this year, which show nearly 20.8 percent of people in D.C. reported an inability to afford enough food in 2009. The data were gathered by the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index project, which has been interviewing almost 1,000 households daily since January 2008. People were asked, "Have there been times in the past twelve months when you did not have enough money to buy food that you or your family needed?"
Martha's Table's Food & Nutrition program has seen an increase in demand for emergency food services over the past year. In fact, demand has tripled since 2009. We are meeting this increased need with quality partnerships with other social service organizations and donations from the community.

Continuing today's productivity, and using JM's delicious lemon curd I am now onto the Mothership's Lemon Cake! I was about the claim that the recipe is dairy-free, however having just watched JM making the lemon curd, I see that it contains butter, so it IS gluten-free but not dairy-free though I did use dairy-free spread, so the amount of dairy in the cake is minimal.
Mum made this for me for my brother's birthday, so I know it is a good gluten free cake to make, I think because it is so moist due to the lemon curd there is less of a risk of it all drying out, as some gluten-free cakes do.
This is another very easy cake to bake, an all-in-one recipe (you may have started to notice these are my speciality… I am not a fan of overcomplicating things, or washing up!). I think it's probably the first cake I ever made, and it is oh, so tasty!
7.5oz x gluten free self raising flour
51/4oz x caster sugar
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
4 x medium eggs
6oz dairy free margarine
4 tbsp lemon curd
grated rind of one lemon
juice of 1 lemon
2 tbsp caster sugar
- Preheat the oven to 160 degrees C
- Add all of the cake ingredients to a bowl
- Mix all the ingredients together until a smooth batter forms – make sure you beat in a lot of air
- Pour mixture into one or two greased and lined cake tins
- Bake in a pre-heated oven at 160 degrees for 40 minutes
- Once removed from the oven, mix the sugar and lemon juice together and pour over the top of the cake.
- Wait until the cake has cooled before removing from the tin.
It's great with a cup of Earl Grey tea!

Lenders do not feel entirely comfortable with offering loans to those who are currently unemployed. This is because the borrower does not have any current source of income and the lenders are worried about how the borrower will make the monthly payments. This might make the lender a little apprehensive to lend.This can be a huge issue for the lender, and so they usually secure the loan against some asset that is completely owned by the borrower. However, with our door step loans, this is not necessary. You do not need to secure any asset against the loan. However, we have loans that are made to suit the unemployed borrower's needs.
For us, there is no difference between an unemployed client and one that has a job. We do not discriminate between the two. In fact we realize that those who are unemployed might be in greater need of a loan, and it would be so wrong to deny them this opportunity. Hence, we have come up with the door step loan which has been specially designed to help those who are currently unemployed to borrow some money for chores and tasks that are overdue because of lack of payment. We understand that you might be facing financial difficulties, and we want to do everything we can to help you through this tough time.
One of the best parts about the door step loan is that we do not believe in checking your credit. Frankly, we just do not care about your financial history! We are more than happy to offer this cash loan to everyone. A low credit score cannot deter us from wanting to help you in your time of need. These are all the reasons that immediately make us the most wanted lenders in this area. We make sure that the money is dropped off to your very own doorstep by our trust worthy agents.
Together with our partners such as www.doorstepmoney.co.uk, we have worked hard to make getting a loan with us easy and hassle free. We know you have enough on your plate and definitely do not want to add to the issues. We are ready and available to serve absolutely anyone who is unemployed- whether you are a tenant, self-employed, a homeowner or someone who is benefiting from DSS. We will do everything in our power to make sure that you get your loan and are able to get back on your feet as soon as possible.
And the process could not be simpler. All you have to do is fill in the simple online application. Once you have done so, we will be certain to call you within 24 hours and follow up. Your loan should hopefully be approved very soon, and once it is, our agent will be dispatched with your cash. We like to make the process simple, because honestly, who has time for a long drawn out procedure that may or may not result in you getting the loan?
Now most people assume that there has to be some major catch in a deal like this. We are so used to hearing stories of banks being the bad guys and taking over every asset of a person with low scoring credit by offering loans with very high interest rates. They basically take advantage of the low credit score. We are not going to do this. We will offer competitive rate of interest for these doorstep loans. However, as the borrower, please do keep in mind that since this is a loan that is unsecured, you can expect higher than normal interest rates. Unfortunately, this is just how the system works, to protect the lender. We are more than happy to lend you any amount between £100 and £ 5000, depending on what your current need is.

Michelle Obama's selection of a Jason Wu dress for attending President Obama's State of the Union address has caused quite a stir. When she appeared in the audience wearing the sleeveless tweed colorblock dress accented with one of her signature pins, the first lady looked chic as usual. The revelation that this piece was by Jason Wu, the same designer she selected for the first and second inaugural balls, prompted fashion insiders to theorize: Is Jason Wu Michelle Obama's Oleg Cassini?
Oleg Cassini was famously the designer of choice of former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy. She worked closely with the designer over the course of her time at the White House, crafting many of the custom looks that would become iconic.
Mrs. Obama, by contrast, is known for experimenting with an ever-changing range of designers and fashion houses — even selecting items from accessible brands such as J. Crew and Target to integrate into her luxurious wardrobe.
Yes, when Michelle wears Target it is Jason Wu for Target. Is that yet another sign that the young, Taiwanese-American fashion star is becoming the first lady's go-to couturier? The Daily Beast has this to say about the possibility.
"Much comparison has been drawn between Mrs. Obama and Jacqueline Kennedy, mainly due to both women's distinctive interests in fashion," the online outlet opines. "But now another similarity is emerging between the two women. It seems that Wu could be quickly shaping up to be Obama's equivalent of Oleg Cassini, Kennedy's standby designer during her own White House years."
RELATED: Presidential PDA — Barack and Michelle Obama's most romantic moments (SLIDESHOW)
"The dress she wore to Tuesday's State of the Union was edgier than the sweet dresses she's commissioned from Wu in the past—a sign of their potentially strengthened alignment," writer Misty White Sidell noted.
Jason Wu's representatives have confirmed that the dress is part of the designer's pre-fall 2013 collection, but have not commented on what the first lady's frequent selections from his line may mean. Some critics have questioned Mrs. Obama's decision to give so much attention to one brand, when her power of choice has the ability to help many other promising talents. This complaint first surfaced when the first lady chose Wu for her second inaugural gown.
"Nothing against Mr. Wu — how could there be when the dress was this gorgeous? — but we haven't seen a first lady give a designer this much exposure since Nancy Reagan met James Galanos," The New York Times summarized about many reactions to her scarlet ball gown. Some in the industry believe she is tasked to use her trend-setting capacity to assist as many designers as possible, acting almost as an American fashion activist.
Leaving a consistent impression of what her style stood for in the annals of history could weigh as heavily on the first lady as the need to promote fashion as a whole, Times reporter Eric Wilson also relates. An important consideration is the fact that people will be viewing her inauguration gowns for hundreds of years at the Smithsonian. Wu's way of dressing the first lady may fit perfectly with her desired fashion legacy.
For now, it is clear that Jason Wu — who has been repeatedly worn by Michelle Obama in contexts great and small — is one of the most easily identified staples in her style arsenal. The first lady understands her ability to make obscure brands into household names. Yet, by consistently positively appraising Wu's designs by choosing them, Michelle Obama demonstrates an even greater power: that of helping a designer make history.
Because of Mrs. Obama, the name Jason Wu will be permanently etched in the narrative of our country.
"Official designer," maybe — we'll likely never know. Going down in history is fair compensation for not receiving that title.

Carl Zeiss Planar T* 60mm C f/2.8 was one of the three macro prime lenses that Carl Zeiss was manufacturing in Contax/Yashica mount. The review is for MM lens manufactured by Tomioka (optical division of Kyocera), serial number 7441513. Carl Zeiss discontinued the Makro-Planar T* 60mm C f/2.8 after Kyocera, which was its partner and joint holder of Contax brand name, discontinued manufacturing Contax-branded cameras. However, the company recently updated its Makro-Planar lineup with Makro-Planar T* 50mm f/2 and Makro-Planar T* 100mm f/2, both in ZF format for Nikon Ai-S mount as well as with Makro-Planar 120mm f/4 in ZV format for Hasselblad. The MM version of Makro-Planar T* 60mm C f/2.8 for C/Y mount is readily available on used market and you can find good copies selling for about US$400 on eBay and slightly higher at various used photo-equipment dealers. On APS-C type cameras like Digital Rebel XTi used in testing, the lens has field of view similar to that of a 96mm lens on a full-frame body.
The optical construction of the lens consists of 6 elements in 4 groups. The lens is quite lightweight and compact for a macro (the C in the name actually stands for 'Compact'), weighing only 260g (9.2oz) and measuring 6.6x5.1cm (2.5x2.1in). The lens actually extends when focusing towards macro, almost doubling in length (both the focusing ring itself as well as the cam extend forward during focusing). Both focus and aperture rings are rubberized and the lens barrel is made of lightweight metal, so the lens feel quite sturdy. The minimum focusing distance is 27cm (10.7in) and the minimum aperture is f/22. The lens offers 1:2 scale macro capabilities at 27cm but obviously can be used for general purposes as well. Like most of Zeiss Contax lenses, Makro-Planar 60mm accepts 55mm screw-in type filters.
To test the lens, I used generic Fotodiox C/Y to EOS adapter without AF confirmation chip. This means that I had to use the camera in either fully manual or aperture priority mode. The lack of connection to the camera mount also robbed me of all but center-weighted metering.

Field Tests
The lens showed quite good overall performance with accurate color rendition and pleasing image contrast. Overall sharpness was about on the same level in the center as with most other standard focal length Zeiss lenses. Borders seemed somewhat softer at wide apertures. Bokeh was uninspiring at all, simply due to the lens's small maximum aperture.
Bokeh handling was kind of unimpressive. OOF highlights were round and uniformly lit, bit carried distinct bright highlights around edges. Contrast transitions around OOF objects were rather harsh. There were no visible double-edging around foreground and background OOF objects.
The lens did not show any vignetting on an APS-C camera, ditto for a full frame 5D. CA, barrel distortion and flare were also well under control for both APS-C and FF cameras - not surprising for a standard prime lens.
Lab Tests
Please note that MTF50 results for APS-C and Full-Frame cameras are not cross-comparable despite the same normalized [0:1] range used to report results for both types of cameras.
Canon APS-C: Carl Zeiss Makro-Planar T* 60mm C f/2.8 showed very solid results in the center, where it performed consistently across the tested aperture settings. Performance around borders is a different story though. Here the lens was somewhat soft at f/2.8, gradually improving with stopped down aperture and reaching its peak around f/5.6-f/8. Overall, you would get very good 16in and decent 19in prints at these aperture settings. Conclusion? With the exception of border performance at f/2.8, this is a pretty solid standard lens that also happens to have 1:2 macro capabilities. And while this rather weak border performance wide open slightly bothers me, this is not the worst case I have seen (and certainly not the best either).
Typical of Zeiss lenses, Makro-Planar T* 60mm C f/2.8 showed negligible amount of chromatic aberration wide open and literally no CA with stopped down aperture. What can I say, it is becoming rather boring testing Zeiss lenses for CA - I have yet to find one Zeiss lens that shows any significant CA.
Canon FF: Makro-Planat T* 60mm C f/2.8 did not really produce any miracles on a full-frame camera. Center performance was pretty decent with wide open apertures from f/2.8 to f/4, and by f/5.6 reaching outstanding level. Border performance was outstanding with stopped down aperture (f/5.6-f/11), but quality clearly suffered with wide open aperture. Here the lens shows a rather average performance. Conclusion? What can I say, the lens shows consistent results on both APS-C and FF cameras and is still worth your consideration, assuming you can live with a somewhat average border quality with wide aperture settings.
Like with an APS-C camera, the lens showed minimal levels of chromatic aberration on a full-frame Canon 5D. CA was less then 0.2px in the center with wide open aperture and even less so once stopped down. CA around borders did not exceed 0.3px throughout the aperture range.
As mentioned earlier, Carl Zeiss used to manufacture two other dedicated macro lenses for Contax/Yashica mount, so naturally you might want to consider those when looking for a macro lens. The recently updated Makro-Planar T* 50mm f/2 and Makro-Planar T* 100mm f/2 also come to mind, but both of these lenses are significantly more expensive compared to the older variations (about US$1,200 and US$1,900 respectively). Leica APO Macro Elmarit R 100mm f/2.8 has traditionally been considered by many as one of the best macro lenses on the market - if you decide to go with this lens, prepare to spend about US$2,000 on a good used copy. Finally, if you feel really adventurous, you can try adopting macro lenses from even more 'exotic' mounts such as Hasselblad and Mamiya.
Carl Zeiss Makro-Planar T* 60mm C f/2.8 is an interesting standard lens and while it might not be a suitable replacement for your Planar T* f/1.7 or Planar T* f/1.4, its compact size and macro capabilities make it a viable choice for those of us who don't need extra speed and would occasionally benefit from having a macro lens handy. Of course you need to keep in mind that this is a fully manual lens and as such probably is not quite suitable for your average photographer. On the other hand, if you already own this lens (from your old RTS days) you might as well put it to use.

Because from 10pm onward, the incredibly talented DJ's Mia Guzman and Emily Scott will be doing their best to raise temperatures to astronomically high levels.
Both girls are also top notch models in their own right, and as a torrid duo they are more than capable of creating a heat wave tonight.

text: Warcraft Banjoball League Season 10 Banjoball is back, this time borrowing some features from the Zealot Hockey League. Because this league structure will require significant organization, I am looking for people to help me with running the league. It is up to each and every one of you to make this into a successful league. Some of the important changes from the standard Banjoball League format: Matches will be at scheduled times. All matches will be streamed, ideally casted. There will be a group of League Managers that assist in rule-making, league structure, and administration of the league. Owners will have to draft themselves. Their draft slots will be determined by League Management. Players will have the option to sign up with "position lock." Position lock allows a player to be restricted to only playing in the field or goalie, if they do not want to run the risk of being forced into a position they do not want to play. Team owners will have to choose which franchise they want to manage. No longer will the teams be named "Team Derdan" or "Team Slaton", etc. FAQ: I want to play, but I don't have wc3. What can I do? See this thread: http://www.banjoball.net/threads/how-to-play-wc3-banjoball-for-free.295/ When will the season start? Do not expect this league to start very soon. There will be significant preparation that goes into it. As an estimate, I would say mid-November, at the absolute earliest. How many teams are we aiming for? 5-8. Where do I sign up? https://goo.gl/forms/bilwAvefM9xym5up1 What is the link to the Season 10 Discord? https://discord.gg/55R5FJu

We were in Oakland for the NBA Finals and while were there, we had some fun with Warriors fans. We had a camera crew in the Oracle Arena and our goal was to see how long we could keep a fan out of his seat during the 4th quarter. There was about a minute left and the game was down to the wire but we would not let this fan sit down until he got this right. #ClockBlock

New Trailer For Marc Webb's 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2:' "Rise of Electro"
Just hold on Gwen, we're going home! Actually, you're probably going to die and that makes me very sad. Sony has released a fourth trailer for Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man 2. While the three minute clip is titled "Rise of Electro," the main star of it is Gwen Stacy's amazing trench coat. I do think this is the strongest trailer of the four that have been released so far, but I'll reserve final judgment until all 15 are available for viewing. Read more →

If you've been keeping up with the red carpets from this years' awards season, no doubt you've noticed the presence of more than one leading lady sporting a ponytail with her gown. The ponytail has been the biggest trend in hair so far in 2015, and I for one, am totally OK with it!
And while a classic pony is still great and will truthfully always be a staple in hair styling, it is fun to switch up the look and expand into a more artistic approach with your pony. So to give you a little inspiration, I scoured the runways from the latest Fashion Weeks around the globe- and put together this grouping of totally wearable but unique ponytail options.
Some of the ponytails simply incorporate a unique accessory like a leather wrap, a flat barrette or even some embellished twine. While the other examples use twists or loops to change the shape of the ponytail itself. Either way the result is super eye-catching and anything but boring! I hope this inspires you the way it has me- and if you decide to try any of these ponys, be sure to tag me in your pics so I can take a look!

Even though I'm a New Mommy and perpetually tired, I still like to make some attempt to bat away the crazy with a little makeup each morning. It gives me a small sliver of normal. Don't deny me some normal, ok?
Here are my picks for a quick morning/during-nap-time makeup routine. I timed it and it takes 3 minutes tops.
New Mommy Makeup by thecandace
1. BB creams are all the rage these days and they are mostly a glorified tinted moisturizer. It checks off your foundation and moisturizer in one step. BAM, done!
2. Since BB creams tend to offer a light coverage, you can go in with a concealer where you need it most (under those zombie eyes, for example). The NARS creamy concealer is highly rated by beauty gurus. It covers everything. Well, almost everything. Obviously, the panicky, darting, New-Mommy-Eyes will still give you away every time.
3. Blush will add some life back to your face. Although pricey, these Amazonian clay blushes have super strong staying power. Because new Mommies have no time for touch ups!
4. You've heard me rave about the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze. This is a one swipe eye shadow that does not budge once it sets. It's cheap and awesome and you can use your finger to apply it. I'm still using mine even though I got it well over a year ago. If you want more of a champagne vibe, Barely Branded is also a great color.
5. Mascara. Game changer. That is all.
6. Smear on a tinted lip balm (with SPF!) and now you are so money, Honey.
If anyone has quick tips for hair, I'd love to hear them! My typical dirty roots and flat ponytails are even grosser now that Amelie has a habit of belching puke into my hair at night. Sometimes, it even pools in my clavicle as well. Good times.

Larsson Stars as GB take on Sweden U21
GB are in Sweden on a training camp all week and are also taking in some of the 2011 World Championship matches.
Tuesday's match gave Head Coach Dragan Djukic time to try out various different formations, although he was without talented goalkeeper Bobby White who is recovering from a hip operation.
17-11 down at half time, GB strengthened their attacking play after the break and only lost the second period 17-14, with Steven Larsson (pictured) scoring eight goals.

Sorry, Jeff. No disrespect intended at all. But that's how I felt when your wife Rocky thought something I wrote was good enough for her Mothers Fighting For Others blog.
I will admit that I don't feel worthy to be there. I mean, take a look at their writers page! It starts with Rocky Turner and Julie Ferenzi, the founders of the site. (You might know them both as AR members – and if you don't, you should.)
But look through the rest of them! I don't know them yet, but they are survivors, authors, activists, heroes – they are all changing the world! Keep scrolling, and down there at the bottom is little old me. Perhaps I'm comic relief. ;o) I tell myself at least I can be the "mother" part, and maybe the others are the "fighters".
But I bet the more I read, the more I'll get riled up. It usually doesn't take much, and if you mess with someone who can't stand up for themselves I'll want to step in. I expect that the more I learn, the more I'll want to change the world myself. I'm going to pay attention and see how I change as I go along. I think I'm about to build a better me.
Rocky, thank you for this opportunity.

It's always hard to say goodbye- to people and places loved, to leisure time away from the office, to a season that was suddenly over when it feels like it only just began- and even to a calendar year that may have presented some personal challenges. Admittingly as I type this post, we still have the bulbs and ornaments hung on the tree and the lights still strewn about the eaves. This year, it all came and went so fast and I have had a hard time parting with the pleasures of the holiday season.
So just as I always try to plan another vacation when one is ending, I decided to follow suit and pick out a couple of holiday habits worth hanging on to in the coming year.
I've never really been a napper. I'm not a late sleeper and taking a break in the busiest part of the day always felt like a waste. Leisure time really brings about some new perspective and I found that a short break to watch a favorite movie on the couch by the fire didn't necessarily slow me down after all. It felt good to let my mind wander a bit with the scroll of channels on the remote and my feet up on the ottoman. With all the focus on clean eating and exercise in the New Year, it's a little curious that one of my resolutions is to sleep and lounge. But part of being healthy is also learning to respond to queues from your tired body and taking time to rest and recharge. It will not happen everyday, but instead of running on empty each weekend and dreading the workweek to come, I am looking forward catching up on some Netflix under a warm blanket in 2015.
I've talked about my renewed interest in fresh house floral recently here on the blog and plans to re-incorporate this habit into my weekly routine. Over the holiday, I again spent some time at the flower mart and played with colorful arrangements set against dark wood or clothed backdrops. It was fun to hone my skills and challenge myself a bit to create something modern and fresh for our holiday tables. There was a time when I'd shop every Saturday for flowers to display around the house and I'm not sure why I ever stopped. It may have been time or money but in 2015, I decided to make room in both my budget and routine for flowers once again.
I spent the better part of the last 8 weeks huddled over my kitchen counter and I have the dishpan hands to prove it. Among my voyage back to seemingly self discovery during the holidays came a renewed interest in cooking and baking (but definitely not dishwashing). We are a two-person household with different tastes and dinner interests and quite often we "make food" -not a formal meal. It's just been easier on our budget (and my nerves) to approach dinner this way. Eating out is always the easiest solution. But I had a bit of an a-ha moment over the holiday that helped me find my way back to something I love. It may not always translate into a "meal", but I decided to challenge myself to experiment with creating something in the kitchen a couple of times each week - be it a loaf of bread, a much loved family recipe or even a cocktail.
As such, the coming year will likely feature more posts on food and flower arrangements here on the blog, in addition to dishing daily on design. I've already got a few projects in the early planning stages so stay tuned for continued work here on Holtwood House as well.

This is a book, as the subtitle clearly states, about "the statesman as author." Not having much considered this aspect of the great political figure's life before, I was pleased by how revealing a portrait of the man such a focus makes possible.
Winston Churchill became a published author in 1898 and, for the rest of his life, the bulk of his income would be provided by his writing – not by the political offices to which he was elected. Even as a young army officer, Churchill considered himself as much writer as soldier, and used family influence to attach himself to several military campaigns as a war correspondent. The money he earned from newspapers and from repackaging the articles into books allowed Churchill and his widowed mother to maintain a lifestyle that would otherwise have been impossible after his father's death.
Churchill's parents enjoyed a lifestyle that always seemed just barely – if never completely - within their means of paying for it. Randolph Churchill placed his own personal pleasure above any obligation another father might feel for educating his sons for the future. So, in lieu of spending money on a better education, Randolph steered his son toward a military career and left it up to Winston to educate himself as best he could. Unfortunately, although Winston did do a remarkable job of educating himself, he also inherited the spendthrift ways of his parents.
|Peter Clarke
Churchill, barely making ends meet as it was, depended on advances for future books to pay the taxes on those already written. This trap would keep him writing at full speed for the rest of his life in order to keep himself one year ahead of the tax man. The speed at which he had to write frustrated Churchill's publishers, impacted the quality of his work, and changed his writing habits.
The "book that defined the 'special relationship" between Britain and the United States is, of course, Churchill's A History of the English Speaking Peoples. Churchill originally contracted for the book in 1932, but the rise of Hitler, Churchill's duties as Prime Minister during World War II, and financial pressure to write other books first, meant that the four volumes would not be finished until the 1950s. The special relationship defined and explored in A History, although weaker now than at anytime in the last several decades, has lasted through a long succession of prime ministers and presidents.
Mr. Churchill's Profession has succeeded in showing a side of Winston Churchill not usually explored in a Churchill biography. It is a worthy edition to the Churchill story and a book that amateur historians will want to read.

Well, after touching back down in Bristol after a very alcoholically exhausting (but excellent) girly 21st in Magaluf, i began my London based adventure. now i don't have any pictures to put up of any of my UK-ey antics because, as previously explained; i've ditched the digital, donned the disposable and i have yet to have them developed.
First stop: Alysha-ville aka high wycombe
Whenever i've seen this location in text form, i've always thought it was pronounced 'high why-comb', but that's besides the point. this was my first visit to Alysha at this location as she's only been there around three months, but my gosh, she has got it so good it's sickening! house is beautiful, boyfriend and his family are lovely, area is bliss. we sat in the garden and gossiped, went for drinkypoos then had an indian banquet; now after 5 days of processed, all inclusive style, mass produced buffet food in Magaluf, it was heaven. indian food was closely followed by snuggling up in bed and watching Man to Man with Dean Learner - genius. we retired early, due to the fact i hadn't slept in two days, and we were all generally knackered. on the thursday, Alysha and i resumed to how we were when we spent every waking hour together, ruining perfectly good places by being general idiots, quoting too many films and making a mess when doing the simplest of tasks - i miss my friends. we had omelette (i helped by grating the cheese), then, before we could say "I LOVE LAMP", it was time to set off to go catch the 3 o'clock train to my next destination.
Second stop: Jack-ville aka clapham
The tube was stressful because it was the first time i had gotten it on my own, plus i had a big dock off suitcase, and it was hot. by the time i made it to london marylebone, i was a sweaty mess and didn't want to see anyone i knew, never mind someone who i actually quite fancied. my bearded amigo was supposed to meet me at clapham junction, but just as i was about to go down the stairs to get the tube to london victoria, i saw a glimpse of a face i recognised - it was Jack and he'd come to meet me, and if he was 2 seconds later, he would have missed me. i didn't really care that i was a sweaty mess anymore, that passing people were probably thinking 'get a room' or that it had only been a week since i last saw him; i was happy to see him (even though he was probably happier to see me) and i was going to show it. what followed was an awesome two days, which then turned into another three days, totaling five. we went shopping in the town centre, to the vintage fair in shoreditch, moshed around in camden, visited monuments and buildings (only so he could take a picture of himself flipping the v to them), went on a very long walk/adventure, ate many bagels and chocolate cake, watched many dvds and generally just had a splendid time. all of my findings and adventures will be blogged about, in detail, in time to come - because to do it now would just take so damn long! Then, with the loss of money, but the gaining of an off-white top (UO) and a boyfriend (yes, that's right, a boyfriend), i troddled to clapham junction train station to catch my 7.56pm train, i said my fairwells and boarded the train to london victoria once again. it was dusk as we were walking to the station, but by the time the train left, it was full on dark and the city was glowing. i hate leaving places i don't want to leave in the dark, more than I do in the daytime, i can't explain why; even if you gave me some opal fruits before their name was changed, a top hat and a £500,000 clothes voucher. Needless to say, it was very very sucky, but i didn't begin feeling upset until i was leaving london euston; mainly because i knew the next time the train stopped, i would be miles away from london, and from the person i've began liking so much - Mumford and Sons' album in my bastard ear didn't help either, as much as i love them, they just got me thinking about everyone i miss.
Final stop: home aka gobowen
Home, sweet home? no.
Train home was nightmarish; it was raining, dark, the city lights were getting further and further away and there was some sort of chav-esque mid-twenty year old hitting on me, wearing grey joggers and a black vest top - score. the stations got more and more rural, i started to recognise places and train station signs, the people began to get less and less well dressed and i felt as if i'd never left home, which was depressing - i always knew i was a city girl, but i never knew how much. so i got stranded in shrewsbury at 11.35pm because a train was delayed for an hour, i was surrounded by people wearing last years beanie hats and Primark jeans and i was at the point of tears due to sheer exhaustion when a baby frog hopped from behind my shoe into the middle of the platform. here is the story, quoted from a text i sent, explaining the first event to make me smile after 7.56pm:-
"it was a rainy September eve, i was leaning against a metal gate in shrewsbury train station, with twenty other bodies around me. all of a sudden, a baby frog, no bigger than a really tiny frog, went hopping past. at this point the frog was safe because everyone was stationary, but once the train was in sight, movement began to spark. it was at this point I felt the frog's fear and jumped to it's aid by shouting "watch out for the tiny frog in front of you", to which everyone obliged. the frog, safe once again, hopped along on it's way with a grateful spring in it's step as the temporary residents of shrewsbury station watched proudly. then everyone boarded the train and went back to being humble strangers."
After arriving home an hour late, i chatted with my mum, then went to bed. today i went to a friends and watched series 3 of The IT crowd, demolished a multi-pack of monster munch and then came home.
Now here i am, wishing i was somewhere else.

Greensboro, NCHome Menu
Kiser Middle School
|School Resource Officer W.M. Hunt
Kiser Middle School
Officer W.M. Hunt joined the Greensboro Police Department on April 16, 2007. Prior to becoming involved in the school resource program, she served as a patrol officer for the city's Eastern District.
As an SRO, Hunt takes on many roles. She says the most important are building positive rapport with the students by encouraging them to stay out of trouble and focusing on their academic achievements, providing students and faculty with a sense of security, deterring crimes from occurring on campus, and being a strong role model to the students.
The most appealing part of being a SRO is working with children, Hunt says, adding that her greatest passion in life is helping others, so being able to help children is invaluable. "I enjoy building healthy relationships with all of my students. Most students have negative perceptions of police officers due to their environments and their parents' past experiences, which may have been negative," she notes. "I take pride in seeing these students change their opinions of police officers."
Hunt's word of advice to students: Trouble is easy to get into, but hard to get yourself out of, so consider the consequences of your actions before you do something that could affect the rest of your life.

Series: Market Garden #2
Authors: L.A. Witt and Aleksandr Voinov
Source: NetGalley
Review Genre: M/M Erotica
Length: Novella, 38 pgs
Reviewed by: KindleRomance
High-end Market Garden rentboys Tristan and Jared have found their niche. Men are willing to pay good money to watch Tristan tease Jared, and the two of them seduce London's elite with sex and power games. Except Tristan is less and less interested in getting money out of the johns these days. He wants his partner in crime, and he wants the seduction to be real. But is Jared just in this for the pay?
When Rolex, the john who started it all, returns to Market Garden, the boys jump on the opportunity to service him—and each other—for a fresh pile of cash. Rolex isn't the only one itching for a rematch, though. Jared's been waiting for a chance to get back at Tristan for teasing him so mercilessly the first time.
And for a former stripper, revenge is a dish best served extra hot.
Who knew reading a dirty dancing scene could be better than watching!
The second chapter in the ongoing sexual escapades of Jared and Tristan is one extremely hot scene with our lovely guys and Rolex. We are now told everything from Tristan's point of view instead of Jared's. This chapter doesn't move their relationship along, and in fact, it seems that Jared might have lost interest in Tristan. There is very little dialogue so we are left with a bit of confusion as to why, or if, Jared lost interest. I'm assuming we'll get more information on that impression in a future chapter. I was expecting some background information on Tristan, including how he ended up here and what he does with his days, but that was not provided. I was also expecting Tristan to be a smart-mouthed, self-assured character instead of the sweet and almost Jared-like person he now seems to be.
If you're looking for a well-written, steamy sex scene with a very talented stripper performance, then this should fit the bill. Although this was a great sex scene, there weren't enough elements to make it a great story. There wasn't enough movement in the plot, building of the relationship, or increased knowledge of the characters.

There are many different types of screen doors on the market that satisfy different purposes and needs. After you decide which door is best for you, you will need to hang it, and there is no reason you cannot install the door yourself.

This is not about an airline…
This is actually about shoes, well boots to be precise.
Fly London is a portuguese brand of shoes. They have one of the most comfort comfortable shoes/boots out there for a very reasonable price. They normally have good (which means high for me, being a shorty as I am) but very wearable platforms and the leather is very soft and of really good quality.
I bought these booties recently on sale (71£ instead of about 100£ or so) which is not a bargain but these shoes are really worth this price (I see so many shoes out there that are not even good quality leather).
These are so comfortable that once you've tried them on you seriously don't want to take them off!
I bought them online through Javari which have an impeccable service: free one day delivery and 365-day return policy. Hard to beat! Bought mine on a Thursday evening after 7pm and got them the next day.
They also have a store in Covent Garden in London if you want to see how they look like. I guess in Portugal and Spain they are quite popular and maybe not so much here in the UK but always foe promoting brands from the peninsula …
I've been wearing them almost non-stop ever since. Very happy with my purchase. Definitely.
Do you guys own any Fly London shoes/boots?

This Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructional video has Kayron Gracie showing an alternative method of finishing a submission from the first video's arm bar position. This second submission is used when your opponent is able to pull his arm free of the arm bar, but leaves his/her other arm vulnerable for an omoplata submission. An omoplata is a submission that puts pressure on your opponent's shoulder, causing them to tap out.
The gi featured in this video is the Gameness Limited Edition White XT, and is the same model that Kayron wears during his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competitions.
Step 1:
After completing the steps to set up the arm bar submission from guard (as shown in Video #1), your opponent is able to pull his arm free from the arm bar, removing it from danger. Once your opponent's arm is pulled free, control his/her other arm by swimming your hand inside and tightly gripping their elbow. This controlled arm will be the target for the omoplata submission.
Step 2:
With your opponent's arm tightly secured, perform a hip escape movement to put yourself at a greater angle to your opponent. Once you have the angle, slide your legs over the back of the shoulder of your opponent, and drive your legs heavily to the mat.
Step 3:
With your opponent's posture lowered, reach up and grab their belt with your nearest hand. While reaching to grab the belt, make sure that you continue to control your opponent's arm with your opposite hand to keep his/her in position for the omoplata.
Step 4:
Perform another hip escape movement to attain an even greater angle to your opponent. Once you achieve the desired angle, kick the heels of both of your legs down towards the mat, forcing your opponent to lower his/her posture even further. Use the momentum of kicking your heels down to sit up into your opponent. Move your near hand from controlling your opponent's belt, and instead grip his/her back.
Step 5:
Curl both of your legs away from your opponent's targeted arm to begin applying pressure onto his/her shoulder. Continue to apply pressure by raising your body while keeping your opponent flat against the mat in order to complete the submission.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am going to share an epic tale. About a guy from New York with a dream. Now of course, we all have dreams. We all have aspirations of being something more bigger than ourselves. But if we don't work hard to pursue our dreams they are just dreams. They continue to become figments of our imagination that remain in constant limbo. Daniel Trinh's love and passion of acting of becoming an actor wasn't just a dream. He made that dream come to life.
Since Daniel started his acting career in 2007, his body of work has gained him both national and international recognition. Daniel's past film and TV works include: Lonely Joe (2009), a guest role on the IFC comedy sketch comedy television show, "The Whitest Kids U' Know (2009)," a supporting role in Chino y Nacho ft. Don Omar music video for "Dentro de Mi (Within Me)," Real Men Wear Pink (2011), Won Tong Baby! (2012), Community Service: The Movie (2012) and a New York State public service announcement commercial just to name a few.
Daniel's goals are not only to be recognized on a global level for his acting talent and win numerous awards, but to also break Asian stereotypes that are set in TV and movies. He wants to show he can play any role that is given to him and not be only defined by his ethnic background.
I talked with Daniel to learn more about his work ethic, goals, and much more. So take a journey with me if you will into a mind of a very dedicated and talented individual.
#1: When did the acting bug bit you and you started to gain a strong interest in acting?
I always had an interest in it, but I give the most credit when I was getting my masters degree (Daniel went to SUNY Albany in New York). I grew up very poor. So I've always kind of like worked really hard. Well basically I've always wanted to do it but I didn't know anybody. Growing up poor, you know what I mean, its not the smartest thing to do when you got nothing to back you up. Like if I didn't make it I can't exactly rely on my parents or anything like that. So I kind of ignored it, but when I was trying to get my masters degree, I was struggling really bad. I was a good student. I wasn't like the smartest guy but I did my homework. I did what I was supposed to do and I got decent grades overall.
My masters [degree program] was kicking me in the ass. I was like: "Oh my God! How the hell am I gonna make it through this?" And I was busting my ass for so long. When I was going to school, I was working and everything. So just picture yourself really trying to make it in life without resorting to stealing or drug dealing. You are trying to do it the right way. You are struggling. Then I can just remember going outside of my campus and looking out in front of the library going: "Oh my God!" you know? I put all this work in and I'm not going to be happy no matter what I do. So I busted my ass for years and years. Working, saving money, not doing anything stupid, and always being a mature guy about everything. I knew that at the end of the day, I was still not going to be happy getting a job and basically trying to make a living just doing things that I don't want to do.
I took a long look and I realized that I had this hidden passion. And despite where I came from, despite not having a lot, I didn't want to make excuses about why I didn't want to pursue my goals. I was just like: "You know what? Fuck it! I'm going to give it a shot!" Because I am not going to spend my whole life working my ass off, doing more work than anyone I know, just so that I can grow up and be unhappy.
So I was like I am going to make it happen somehow. That's when it really hit me. When I realized that dreams are worth fighting for. If you ever read my bio, I pretty much write: "Dreams are worth pursuing for and fighting for." So I am living proof of that.
#2: Every actor has a process to get them into each character they do to bring out the best of the person he or she is trying to portray. What is the process you go into to completely immerse yourself into each character you present to the audience?
When I was little, I always had a fascination of trying to understand people. So I spent my life trying to figure out how people think as kind of like a defense mechanism. There is a long story in why I did that but basically I always wanted to understand how people think. So I kind of did my own psychological observation on how people react. As I got older and smarter, I discovered that this was in fact true. To a certain point people live by patterns. You know what I mean? You know how there are certain stereotypes and some of those stereotypes are basically true. I really focus on that. I try to pick a pattern.
So whenever I am doing a character, they [casting director] tell me to describe a certain person, I try to picture somebody who that reminds me of. And I basically mimic that person to the best of my ability. I pick up body movements, the way they think, their goals in life, what they do day by day; their strengths and weaknesses. I really try to picture them in making myself the character, at the same time too, I also try to do a little something for the camera to make it look more appealing. So its a combination of mimicking somebody that I think fits the bill of what they are talking about and doing what I think looks good on camera.
#3: So far you have done commercial, comedic, and dramatic acting. Is there a particular kind of acting that is your favorite or do you hold all of them as great opportunities in showing your talent?
Well I do have preference. Ideally I like to do all of them because I want to be known as someone who is very versatile and be respected in my ability to portray different characters. You know a really good actor that can do what he can do. At the same time my biggest draw out of every category would be drama. Mainly because as you think about it, if I asked you who's the best Asian drama male actor, I guarantee you that the general public is not going to be able to name one easily. Because there really isn't any. I want to fill that void. Its a role that you don't typically see an Asian person do in unless if you are watching obviously oversea dramas which I'm not counting that. Its something that is unknown. Its something that is a great challenge if I really believe that I can do something. I can't think of a better goal to reach for than to be respected in that category. Its a way of showing diversity. Its a way to fight stereotypes. Its a way to give a new dimension to the word "Asian."
That holds really dear to me because its like I'm always about showing people that its not about where you come from, its not about what people think you are, its about how you define yourself. I just want to be treated like an equal person. So the drama thing really draws me. If you think about an Asian male role typically its martial arts or comedy. Its not anything else. So drama is like that one category no one hits. I really want to do my best to be that person who really spearheads it. That's why drama means so much to me. It shows people that I can act. Drama acting it takes a lot of talent. It can also break stereotypes. It is a tougher goal to reach. So its a combination of many reasons why I prefer drama.
#4: Do you have a role so far in your acting career that you would consider a memorable piece of work?
Yes. I believe it was my first film and acting role ever (Daniel played a Deputy in the Drama/Horror/Mystery film "Lonely Joe" in 2009). This would be my biggest accomplishment that I would never forget.
Daniel's scene clips from Lonely Joe : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NneauNWte7k&feature=share&list=UUbNvAZnoXdN7oJge0GUibKA
The reason being I wasn't really expecting to be able to get a film role starting my first year of acting. I started my acting career in 2007. Lonely Joe was a film that I really didn't think was a big budget — well its not a big budget film. But for a indie film it had a good budget. I didn't think something like that existed only a couple of hours away from me.
When I applied for it, I was learning the business, and then I discovered what the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) was. That movie was done under the the Screen Actors Guild. It was a union film. So it was kind of a big deal. It didn't have a lot of famous people. It had a couple people who had worked on bigger projects. The role itself had some Asian people in it, but there was only one Asian role. There was no speaking line and the rest of them were like extras. If you are a real actor, eventually extra roles aren't considered real acting roles. They really are just more like a supplement for your income or just to get the experience. But a real actor doesn't go extra anymore.
I was thinking: "Okay ,well I was probably going to get the Asian role" because I don't think they were going to give me any other role. I remember auditioning and really kind of impressing the people there for whatever reason. The one that I really wanted to get was the lead role. At the time I knew I wasn't going to get it, because I felt like they were going to get someone famous and a girl. That's what ended up happening. The person was more famous , she was female, and she was attractive.
I wanted to get a role that wasn't Asian. Not that I'm ashamed of being Asian. But its just kind of like: "Oh you got the role because you were Asian." I really wanted to show off my skills. Some people would be happy getting any role but they don't care why. I wanted to do it the respectable way. I wanted to be like I did it, I got it because I am a talented guy and I worked my ass off. I remember going to the first audition it was this improv and I made an impression. They called me back and I did the second audition. The role I believe basically implied that it was a deputy role. The way I saw it I felt it was a white guy that was like a younger cop kind of deal pulling over the main actor. The word "deputy" kind of implied that you are from a small town. So it would make sense to me to be a white guy. It made sense that somebody would be in their 20's or early 30's. Maybe even middle-age. If you think about it a cop can be anybody. But for a deputy or a sheriff you typically think white guy.
In the audition, there was a bunch of older white guys reading for that part. What made it even more challenging, they came from the area that typically had deputies or something along that line. So these guys had the right look and age for it. And here's this one guy, who is an Asian guy, auditioning for the same role. I honestly didn't think I could get it. I seen them act and I talked to them. I really deep down was like: "I don't think they are going to pull it off. I really don't think they have the skills to pull it off." I read it and its like to me you really had to be a asshole. I've gotten pulled over enough [by police] to know how to be an asshole. I'm just like, I don't think these guys can be assholes. They were giving bad acting. They were just overdoing it or they weren't giving that fear that I felt the role needed.
When I auditioned for it I was just like: "You know what? I can't change their mind, but I am going to give them the best damn performance ever!" And I went in there, I did my thing, thinking, "I'm probably going to get the Asian role." But I know for a fact that I was the best out of all those guys. I was fighting hard to get the white role because I wanted to say, "Look, I'm so talented that I am going to be able to break their mind and make them hire an Asian guy for a white guy's role." Not saying I have anything against white guys, but you know its just something respectable of getting a role that they didn't originally want your race to play.
I got nervous for a while. I was going through all sorts of emotion. And then I got the phone call saying, "Yeah, you got the role." I got an email to confirm it. I was just so happy because it was a paying role, my first film role—I want to say its my first acting role, and I got a white guy's role that I beat everybody who had a better look. I went in there, did what I had to do, and ended up getting that role. It was such a wonderful experience because I worked on a legitimate film set. Its something that I hold dear to me. It wasn't a comedy. I got to play more of a dramatic role. It wasn't the most dramatic role possible but I played it straight. I wasn't doing a lot per se, but you could see the performance on the subtleties of what I did. And everyone who watched that clip was impressed. Its very touching to know that people were impressed by watching that two minute clip.
#5: What is the most important thing you've learned as an actor that will help you as you continue your career? I know you talked about having a strong work ethic which is one of them but is there another additional thing or—
I learned — Well— I don't know — I can't say as an actor per se, but as a person who is trying to pursue their dreams and goals I've learned through life that:
A. If someone doesn't have a passion towards something, don't expect their best work. It sickens me when everyone says: "Well I work — I did my best." I really hate when people say that because I guarantee you most of the people who say it have not done their best. They try. I'm not saying they didn't try but to say "your best," saying that's what you are capable of? That is a very strong word. I think people really underestimate that. What I've learned is you can't do your best unless your heart is in the game. You have to treat yourself like your life is secondary compared to your goals. That's what I honestly believe in. If your heart is in the game, that goal is more important to you than your life. That really helps me understand how people think. This is one of the biggest lessons I've learned in life. So usually when someone says, "Oh hey! We should work together!" or "I need you to help me out," I look for that. If their heart is not in the game, I question how well the project is going to turn out because they are not fighting for it. They are not willing to take a bullet for it. And that tells me something about the end product.
I also learned that life isn't always the way people portray it to be. There are a lot of images and perceptions. What I learned that about life is pretty much not what you see, but what makes sense. I don't fall for image anymore. I don't fall for the bullshit. I see it for what it is. By doing that I take a lot of drama out of my life. I learned that sometimes you have to see things for what it is and not for what you want it to be. You have to really understand how to look at things in an objective way and not in an emotional way. Those are some things I have learned from my experiences in life that I will never forget.
#6: Name five facts about you that people are surprised to know.
#1: I grew up with a really hard life in a very unhappy environment. If you met me in person, I am really down to earth. People would be surprised that growing up in an unhappy environment in the past effects me now.
#2: I am a sucker for cuteness. But I think people know that already. I prefer a small puppy versus a big dog or kitten over a cat. When I see a baby, I always have to stare at the baby. I think they are adorable. I'm not a very — what do you call it? You know a lot of guys like to show like they want a pitbull and stuff like that. I don't want that. I prefer cute over machoness. I am a guy but at the same time I am not a wimp. I can be a very tough guy but I have kind of like a split personality. If I am working out or taking care of business, I am a fierce warrior. But when I'm like being myself, I am a silly guy. I like cute little things. I go awwww a lot. I really do that in real life.
#3: I am a big thinker. I am really good at thinking of the bigger picture. I don't usually show my smartness a lot. When there is a situation and stuff, I can think in a calm way to figure out the best strategy of handling a situation. Like if we were in a bank and the bank got robbed, I be focusing on how to take the bank robber down. That's just the way I think. I wouldn't be like the kind of guy that would get scared — I mean I would experience fear obviously. But I wouldn't let that control me. So I would always try to handle the situation and eliminate the issue. I'm a problem solver kind of guy. You rob a bank, I am going to try to take you down! When there is an issue, I will be in leader mode more than being a follower.
#4: I am a sucker for food. I eat a lot. People who ever seen me eat, I eat a lot. I prefer healthier foods, but I'm a big food person. You could put some amazing meal in front of me, I am going to eat seconds and thirds. I don't have a sweet tooth. Another thing is that I don't drink at all. I don't have any urge to drink alcohol. I find it kind of a waste.
#5: I only took one acting class during my whole life. I got an A in the class. Everything that I learn about acting comes from mimicking and self-study. I did not go to school for acting in any way shape or form.
#7: Who are some of your favorite actors (old or new) that you are a fan of or want to work with in the near future?
Hugh Laurie. The way he portrays House is just amazing. And he's British so the accent thing really impresses me. Hugh Laurie is definitely a strong actor that I feel like I wish I could perform at his level. Ever since House came on, his performance got him recognized quite a bit. He's good at what he does. He's played the role that I want too. I would have loved to play House. I am good at what I do, but I got to say, do you think I can perform at his level as House? I don't think so. I would do a good job, but I would not be the best guy. If I lost to him to an audition, I would respect that.
Tony Shaloub. He plays Monk and I thought his performance was really good on that show.
Tony Shaloub and Hugh Laurie would be two actors that I would love to work with. I like their performances, they are good at what they do, and to work with them I'm hoping some of that talent rubs off on me.
#8: What inspires or motivates you to keep pursuing your dream?
I value my goals more than I value my own life. That's pretty much it. So this isn't a hobby. This isn't something that I decided to do for fun. This is something that if I don't accomplish it my life it has no meaning.
#9: Where do you see yourself in 10 years in your acting career?
Winning awards, making a difference in society, and showing people that hard work pays off as long as you put your heart and soul into it. Making some really amazing changes by breaking down stereotypical breakdowns like all that crap about Asian people. Really just trying to help people see reality versus what they want to believe in. Within in 10 years, I would like to produce my movie that I want to show the world. I am currently writing still and it will take forever for me to finish. I would either like to start producing or have the script written down by then. I will do every single thing on set. This is a passion film. I'm still writing the story on it. It will have a AMBW (Asian Man/Black Woman) storyline to it. The movie is about what I learned about life. Its about life basically. Stories that I have heard about other people. What makes us strong, what makes us weak, the bullshit that we go through, the system versus what should be done, political, and religious. Its a very well thought out film. When you watch it you understand what life is all about. That's the goal that I am trying to reach before I die. So in 10 years, I would like to at least finish the script for it or I would like to at least have the movie produced. Realistically, I think I am going to be an old man when I finish it.
#10: Is there anything you want to share with the readers or your fans about any upcoming projects to look out for?
I am in talks with a person about doing behind the scenes work on a major movie. The movie has to get funded first, but basically I am going to be a Production Supervisor on it. Its actually the guy that I got the Lonely Joe film role from. I developed a relationship with him. I helped him out with some of the aspects of the project. He wants someone he can count on. Someone who knows what he's doing. A person that knows how to get the job done. He contacted me about getting involved. As soon as the film is done, I am going to be working on a major movie that will have a big budget. So this is going to be like a really big break for me. If the movie does well, it will be like a trilogy. Most likely I will be involved in working on the trilogy. So that's something in the works. I don't know when its going to land, but I really believe that the film is going to get funded at some point. And I am definitely going to get a role in that film. That will definitely get me closer to that goal to get my name out there more.
I would like to thank Daniel for allowing me to interview him. It was a pleasure. I wish him much love, success, and happiness in the future. Dreams can't run unless you put them into motion people. If you have a strong mindset and the willpower you can do anything you want to do. I need to take mental notes of what I just typed right now. I have dreams you know. I want to put into action. I just have to stay consistent with it.
