since there is shirt, now time to talk about the office shoe..... what brand are you wearing? any favourite brand? how much are you willing to fork out for a shoe?

Due to an injury when I step on a nail in the old past, now the bone on one side of my heel hurts badly when I walk. I am thinking about creating my custom insole and embed a wood support around the injured bone. I experimented with some wood cut-out and it worked. I can make wood part but I can't find good materials which I can create main part of the insole and a normal matching part for opposite foot. Assume I want to make custom insoles, what kind of materials I can find and where? I think folks in a car forum would have more knowledge in hardware and do-it-yourself ideas.

The shoe bomber is sentenced....... Remember the guy who got on a plane with a bomb built into his shoe and tried to light it? Did you know his trial is over? Did you know he was sentenced? Did you see/hear any of the judge's comments on TV or Radio? Didn't think so!!! Everyone should hear what the judge had to say. Ruling by Judge William Young, US District Court. Prior to sentencing, the Judge asked the defendant if he had anything to say His response: After admitting his guilt to the court for the record, Reid also admitted his 'allegiance to Osama bin Laden, to Islam, and to the religion of Allah,' defiantly stating, 'I think I will not apologize for my actions,' and told the court 'I am at war with your country.' Judge Young then delivered the statement quoted below: Judge Young: 'Mr. Richard C. Reid, hearken now to the sentence the Court imposes upon you. On counts 1, 5 and 6 the Court sentences you to life in prison in the custody of the United States Attorney General. On counts 2, 3, 4 and 7, the Court sentences you to 20 years in prison on each count, the sentence on each count to run consecutively. (That's 80 years.) On count 8 the Court sentences you to the mandatory 30 years again, to be served consecutively to the 80 years just imposed. The Court imposes upon you for each of the eight counts a fine of $250,000 that's an aggregate fine of $2 million. The Court accepts the government's recommendation with respect to restitution and orders restitution in the amount of $298.17 to Andre Bousquet and $5,784 to American Airlines. The Court imposes upon you an $800 special assessment. The Court imposes upon you five years supervised release simply because the law requires it. But the life sentences are real life sentences so I need go no further. This is the sentence that is provided for by our statutes. It is a fair and just sentence. It is a righteous sentence. Now, let me explain this to you. We are not afraid of you or any of your terrorist co-conspirators, Mr. Reid. We are Americans. We have been through the fire before. There is too much war talk here and I say that to everyone with the utmost respect. Here in this court, we deal with individuals as individuals and care for individuals as individuals. As human beings, we reach out for justice. You are not an enemy combatant. You are a terrorist. You are not a soldier in any war. You are a terrorist. To give you that reference, to call you a soldier, gives you far too much stature. Whether the officers of government do it or your attorney does it, or if you think you are a soldier, you are not-----, you are a terrorist. And we do not negotiate with terrorists. We do not meet with terrorists. We do not sign documents with terrorists. We hunt them down one by one and bring them to justice. So war talk is way out of line in this court You are a big fellow. But you are not that big. You're no warrior. I've known warriors. You are a terrorist. A species of criminal that is guilty of multiple attempted murders. In a very real sense, State Trooper Santiago had it right when you first were taken off that plane and into custody and you wondered where the press and the TV crews were, and he said: 'You're no big deal. ' You are no big deal. What your able counsel and what the equally able United States attorneys have grappled with and what I have as honestly as I know how tried to grapple with, is why you did something so horrific. What was it that led you here to this courtroom today? I have listened respectfully to what you have to say. And I ask you to search your heart and ask yourself what sort of unfathomable hate led you to do what you are guilty and admit you are guilty of doing? And, I have an answer for you. It may not satisfy you, but as I search this entire record, it comes as close to understanding as I know. It seems to me you hate the one thing that to us is most precious. You hate our freedom. Our individual freedom. Our individual freedom to live as we choose, to come and go as we choose, to believe or not believe as we individually choose. Here, in this society, the very wind carries freedom. It carries it everywhere from sea to shining sea. It is because we prize individual freedom so much that you are here in this beautiful courtroom, so that everyone can see, truly see, that justice is administered fairly, individually, and discretely. It is for freedom's sake that your lawyers are striving so vigorously on your behalf, have filed appeals, will go on in their representation of you before other judges. We Americans are all about freedom. Because we all know that the way we treat you, Mr. Reid, is the measure of our own liberties. Make no mistake though. It is yet true that we will bear any burden; pay any price, to preserve our freedoms. Look around this courtroom. Mark it well. The world is not going to long remember what you or I say here. The day after tomorrow, it will be forgotten, but this, however, will long endure. Here in this courtroom and courtrooms all across America, the American people will gather to see that justice, individual justice, justice, not war, individual justice is in fact being done. The very President of the United States through his officers will have to come into courtrooms and lay out evidence on which specific matters can be judged and juries of citizens will gather to sit and judge that evidence democratically, to mold and shape and refine our sense of justice. See that flag, Mr. Reid? That's the flag of the United States of America. That flag will fly there long after this is all forgotten. That flag stands for freedom. And it always will. Mr. Custody Officer. Stand him down. So, how much of this Judge's comments did we hear on our TV sets? We need more judges like Judge Young. Pass this around. Everyone should and needs to hear what this fine judge had to say. Powerful words that strike home.

So now it is because he does not think "better than developers or investors", after the slew of measures on property introduced when he took over the hot seat from MBT? And will it be too late when our friend finally decides to act? Having said that, most such shoe-box unit buyers, many of whom are identified as speculators from the report, purchase them with their eyes open so if and when the bubble burst, I just hope they do not go around KPKBing blaming the whole world and scream for govt assistance to bail them out. From CNA: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1201174/1/.html I will not hesitate to intervene in shoe-box unit market: Khaw Posted: 14 May 2012 1844 hrs SINGAPORE: Minister for National Development Khaw Boon Wan on Monday said he would not hesitate to intervene should there be clear evidence of unsustainable investor demand for shoe-box apartments. He added that the Ministry of National Development (MND) was watching the situation closely. However, Mr Khaw cautioned that it would be hard for him to intervene at present as the market for shoe-box units in the heartlands was "untested", and he did not want to think he knew "better than developers or investors". Mr Khaw was responding to a question in Parliament by MP for Jurong GRC Ang Wei Neng, who asked if MND keeps track of the profiles of buyers of shoebox apartments. Mr Ang also asked MND to share how many buyers of shoebox apartments were HDB occupants, and if these buyers were staying in HDB flats larger than 50 square metres. In response, Mr Khaw said that MND did not yet have a good breakdown on the type of people that have invested in shoe-box units. "But eyeballing some of the data we have, it suggests they are mostly Singaporeans with HDB addresses," Mr Khaw added. "They obviously don't plan to stay there (in shoe-box units), because they won't be able to fit into 50 square metres with a family of several (people)." Mr Khaw said these buyers were likely to be investors who were parking their funds in shoe-box units, with the expectation of renting them out. "They must have seen shoe-box units in the central region being able to be tenanted out easily with reasonable yield," he added. "The difference this time round is that most of the units are in the heartlands -- where the market is untested." He likened the situation to a ferry, which may be overloaded under certain conditions. "It's like a ferry designed for a certain capacity," Mr Khaw said. "If a ferry is overloaded with too many passengers, especially if they're sailing in shallow waters, it may sink. "But because it's an untested water and untested market, it is hard for me to intervene in the market, thinking I may know better than developers or investors." "I think the minimum I can do is to alert everybody that I can see long queues going to board the ferry, and I think my job is to share that information as much as I can with the investing public, as well as the developers," Mr Khaw added. Currently, there are about 2,500 units of completed shoe-box units, making up 1.2 per cent of the 210,000 non-landed units in private housing stock. The supply of shoe-box units is expected to increase to 9,700 units by 2015. Mr Khaw also said the property market has shown signs that it's moving towards a more sustainable path, as he responded to questions on whether the government's various cooling measures have achieved their intended results. Mr Khaw reiterated that private home prices registered a marginal decline in the first quarter of this year (0.1 per cent fall quarter-on-quarter), following nine consecutive quarters of moderating price increases. He said the decline was due in part to the intervention, which includes five rounds of cooling measures over the past two years, the latest of which were introduced in December targeting foreign-investment demand. The impact of those moves could be seen in the sharp decline of the proportion of housing sub-sales -- a proxy indicator of speculative activity -- to about 4 per cent, while the proportion of foreign buyers of private homes also dropped "sharply" to 7 per cent, Mr Khaw said. But he didn't state the time frame or original quantums against which he made the comparisons. As for public housing market, most first-timers now have a chance to select a Build-To-Order flat if they apply for one. HDB resale prices have also moderated, increasing by 0.6 per cent in the first quarter of 2012, the smallest price growth in recent years. MP for Holland-Bukit Timah GRC, Liang Eng Hwa, asked Mr Khaw how the government plans to pace out the supplies of land sales. "The minister mentioned about some supplies coming in and so on to cool the market. I'd like to ask how the government plans to pace out the supplies of land sales so that while we meet immediate demand, we will not... in the next three to five years, have an oversupply situation, especially in the scenario when there could be an economic slowdown," asked Mr Liang. Mr Khaw replied: "The member's concern about potential oversupply if we are not careful is something I think we all ought to be mindful of, because cycles sometimes get a little bit too exuberant and then when they crash, they can create other kinds of problems. "That's why we continue to be very vigilant and monitor closely the situation. Clearly, the market is heading towards a soft landing but we have not landed yet. So, stay seated with your buckle on." - CNA/wm/fa

fact is it is really easy, have DIY it myself. Change fuel filter took me couple of mins to do it and cost me $3 for the fuel filter. Nothing too complex. simple easy step to change fuel filter 1) Take out the fuse of the fuel pump then start the engine, engine will stall in a while as no fuel is pump. 2) locate the fuel filter and pull out the hose connector 3) take out old fuel filter and replace with new one 4) connect hose, earth wire to fuel filter and place back fuse for fuel pump. That's all, 15-20mins and its done. If u care for your car, why just change oil filter, must also change your fuel filter But oil filter change every 30k km whereas oil filter every 5-10k km when u change engine oil As for brake shoe for the rear wheel, it is really tough job, took me 1hr for 1 wheel front brake pad is much easier, about 15m and the DIY is done for 1 wheel Take a look here

Would you relate these products sold in the mentioned departmental store to the REAL thing? when the mentioned trademark was not used in their own product line and sold at 1% of its price?

Just heard from a Taiwanese News that China 东莞 is the World Shoe factory, producing the once world largest output of mass produced shoes. However, about 40% of these factories have either closed or near bankruptcy. Most of the production have now been shifted to the cheaper places like Vietnam and Burma or even to the more rural areas in mainland. Do you guys think the next generation of cheap place to manufacture stuff will be in Africa? The average cost of making a pair of shoe in 东莞 is just US0.20 cents. Regards,

Hi all, 1. For the HDB dweller, do you put your shoe rack just outside your door or along the corridor? Is installing customized shoe rack just outside your door an illegal act? 2. Any concerns of shoes being stolen away? What will happen, if the cleaner wash the corridors? Please advise me. Thank you very much. Regards,
