Until last Friday, Mexican officials thought they had come to a compromise with their American counterparts on a key part of Nafta as they neared agreement on rules that would raise the share of an automobile's content that has to be made in the region to qualify for zero tariffs, and rules governing the minimum wages of those working on autos, according to a Mexican government official with knowledge of the talks.
Likewise, November's mid-term legislative elections are also bearing down in the United States, leaving lawmakers in the majority Republican party with little bandwidth to absorb a deal as they fight to hold on to power.
Politico says divisions among negotiators from the U.S., Mexico, and Canada on hard issues are driving a stake through the heart of President Donald Trump's goal of signing a new agreement into law this year.
Speaking at an event organised by the Economic Club of New York, Trudeau on Thursday said the three countries are close to strike a renegotiated NAFTA and there is "a good deal on the table" right now, Xinhua news agency reported.
It rebuffed an effort from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland, and several high-ranking staffers who were in the USA on Thursday urging a quick deal.
Mexico's economy minister said a deal could be reached later this month, but left hope negotiations could still take place after the country's presidential election July 1.
"We are close to a deal", the prime minister said in NY.
Canada and Mexico expressed continued resistance Thursday to the USA proposal for a so-called sunset clause that would kill NAFTA after five years unless all parties agree to extend it. Trudeau said the idea is still a sticking point, while Guajardo said it was out of the question. "We didn't get there last week, but we will keep trying to achieve it".
Trudeau drew another public contradiction Thursday - this one from Mexico.
Trudeau used an example created to appeal to a certain former real-estate developer who is now the USA president; he compared the termination clause to building a skyscraper on a parcel of land you might lose in five years.
Mexican and Canadian officials on Thursday appeared to brush off the passage of an informal deadline set by the US Congress to reach a deal on revamping a continent-wide trade pact.
Speaker Paul RyanPaul Davis RyanDem rep to launch discharge petition to force net neutrality vote in House GOP leaders huddle with discharge petition backers, opponents Trade experts, lawmakers say NAFTA deal within reach MORE said Thursday that while he needed the NAFTA deal on Capitol Hill soon there may be a few weeks of "wiggle room" for a deal to be considered by the current Congress.

10 Nov, 2013 Positive Phase II Data with Patisiran (ALN-TTR02)
We presented positive data from our Phase II clinical trial of patisiran (ALN-TTR02) for the treatment of transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR) at the International Symposium on Familial Amyloidotic Polyneuropathy, November 10 – 13, 2013. Results showed that multiple doses of patisiran led to robust and statistically significant knockdown of serum TTR protein levels of up to 96%, with mean levels of TTR knockdown exceeding 85%. Knockdown of TTR, the disease-causing protein in ATTR, was found to be rapid, dose dependent, and durable, and similar activity was observed toward both wild-type and mutant protein. In addition, patisiran was found to be generally safe and well tolerated in this study.
These new data are consistent with our earlier experience from pre-clinical and Phase I clinical studies showing excellent translation of RNAi therapeutics. In total, we are very encouraged by these clinical activity and safety data with patisiran.
We have also initiated the APOLLO Phase III trial of patisiran, with the study now open for enrollment. APOLLO is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of patisiran in ATTR patients with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP), and, if successful, is intended to support marketing authorization.

It happens to all of us at one point in time. We get into an automobile collision and need the best auto body shop in Summit. Hopefully, it is not too bad and we are not seriously injured. But usually the car does not fare as well and comes away with significant damage.
What is the next step after your collision and you need an auto body shop?
Likely, after informing the insurance company you take your vehicle to one of their "approved" vendors.
Here is what happens next. You tell the insurance company what company you choose. By this time they have already taken phones of the car and know how extensive the damage is. If you need an expert to take a look, make sure you go to a repair shop in Summit.
They have a computer system that gives them a printed estimate stating what the replacement parts and labor will be based upon a set hourly rate.
This statement is given to the body shop. It comes with a break down of what the labor and parts "should" be and the company has to usually be able to totally fix the car for that price.
Tips on Why Wheel Alignment Is Important
Keep in mind that what is printed out represents the best case scenario and doesn't allow for items on the car that was missed or problems that come up.
Now here are some things to watch out for. a local auto body shop in Summit is operating under very, very thin margins and the incentive to "cut corners" is huge. Getting an extra $300 off a job can really add up over the course of the month when you are talking about doing at least 3-5 vehicles every week.
Auto body (Collision Repair and Refinishing)
Replacement Parts in Auto Body Shops
Make sure the parts being used on your car are OEM parts. These are replacement auto body parts in Summit are sent directly from the car manufacturers and are designed with the same specs as the vehicle came with.
Aftermarket parts can be significantly cheaper yet are not the same quality and make not hold up the same in the event of another accident.
No Realignment? Talk to Your Auto Repair Team!
The frame is usually somewhat bent when a car goes through an accident of any kind. It needs to be properly realigned. You need a serious all hands on deck auto body shop to take care of you here.
Unfortunately, because the money made off one car can be very little the propensity to skip this step is very high. Later down the road this will cause your car to not drive straight but at a tilt and your tires will wear prematurely. So if you need to brush up on some tire repair, ask your mechanic straight away.
Using Bondo (Fillers) Instead of Replacing the Part
Filling any damage in with bondo is not bad in itself. If you know what the auto body shop in Summit is doing, they tell you, and this is what you are paying for then it is fine.
The problem comes in when you think you are getting a vehicle back that is 99.9% the same as before it was wrecked and it is not. Filling a damaged part in with filler rather than replacing the expensive part is a common tactic and you want to make sure it is not done on your vehicle.
Secrets of the Auto Body Shop
All damaged parts should be replaced unless you are paying a lower price for the car to just be fixed (in the case you want the cheapest price and do not care about having a car exactly the same as before). Again, you should really speak to your best auto body shop nearest you!
Keep in mind that most auto body repair shops are honest and are surviving in a tough industry.
What makes auto body shops so difficult to heat during the cold season? To shop owners, the answer is obvious. Auto body shops are characteristically dusty, breezy, high heat-loss environments. To make the indoor air more breathable and safe for workers, fresh air must be introduced through use of exhaust fans and/or raising overhead doors to help dissipate and eliminate contaminants. The problem is, as contaminants are pulled out, so is the heated air. Seemingly a "no win" scenario right?
So what's the most effective and efficient way to heat body shops?
Answer: Infrared radiant tube heaters.
Why Infrared?
To help answer that question, let's review what "infrared" is and how it works.
Infrared (IR) is electromagnetic wave energy that travels at the speed of light until it strikes an object. Upon striking an object, the IR energy converts to heat and is either reflected or absorbed. Dark and opaque objects (i.e. asphalt, concrete, etc.) readily absorb radiant IR heat energy, whereas highly reflective objects such as chrome and polished aluminum are poor absorbers and tend to reflect that energy away.
The most familiar IR emitter (heater) is our own sun. The sun radiates its IR energy through our atmosphere to the earth's surface, uninhibited by wind. As the earth's surface absorbs that energy, our air becomes warm.
During our North American winters the sun's rays are less dense due to the angle of the sun in the sky and our air temperatures are much cooler. But by summer solstice the sun's rays are at their peak angle and absorption is at its highest, resulting in warmer air temperatures.
Why use infrared tube heaters for your body shop?
1) Ceiling suspended infrared tube heaters mimic the warmth of the sun by warming up tools, machinery, floors and people directly, thereby warming the air indirectly.
2) Unlike forced air heaters, infrared tube heaters do not blow air throughout the space. That's a big plus in body shops where dust in painting areas is a problem.
3) Quicker heat recovery. As infrared energy absorbs into floors, tools, vehicles, etc., heat is recovered much more quickly when overhead doors are opened and closed again or when exhaust fans are cycled on and off periodically. That's because surfaces in the direct path of the infrared rays become a "heat sink". In other words, stored heat in objects re-radiates to warm the surrounding air.
4) Energy efficiency - an infrared tube heating system can save as much as 50% or more in fuel savings compared to conventional forced air. This is especially true in body shops where air exchanges are very high.
5) Infrared heaters can increase production. A carefully designed infrared tube heating system can be used to decrease drying times and enhance paint job quality. Placing vehicles in the path of infrared radiation warms cold metal surfaces. Paint applied to warm metal surfaces is less likely to run or drip than when applied to cold surfaces. And because infrared heaters don't move air around, there is less opportunity for dust particles to mix with newly applied paint.
We should note that gas infrared tube heaters are NOT to be used inside paint booths or paint mixing rooms. Tube heater emitters can reach 900 to 1100 Degrees F, well above the flash point of solvent-based primers and sprays. Spraying should be contained in a designated paint room with a filter bank and exhaust system to carry away potentially explosive fumes. Once spraying is done and the booth is ventilated with fresh air, vehicles and components can then be moved out of the spray booth to an isolated drying area where the infrared heaters are located.
Are some infrared tube heaters better than others for heating body shops?
Yes indeed.
That's where you need to do a bit of homework. A thorough review of the various infrared tube heater manufacturers can turn up some surprising differences between brands and product offerings. In your search, ask about burner design (are controls isolated from the air stream? They should be.), emitter tubing (heat-treated aluminized or cheaper hot-rolled steel?), reflector efficiency (50% efficient or 100%), and warranty (10 years is better than 5 years).
Auto Body Shops - Bumper Repair Vs Bumper Replacement
The insurance companies nickel and dime them at every turn and they are made to give them at time ridiculous discounts to get any business. That's why having an auto body shop in your corner can't be stressed enough.
Nevertheless, all an auto body shop should be on is your side and corners should not be cut at your expense and being watchful is just a smart way to go.
Your Auto Body Shop In Summit Should Help You With What Car Needs Exactly?
>>> WELL, IF YOUR CAR IS EVER DAMAGED IN AN ACCIDENT OR REPAIRED THROUGH MAJOR INSURANCE COMPANY IN THIS COUNTRY, THERE ARE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWSUITS IN THIS COUNTRY YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT.

ALL SUING DOZENS OF INSURANCE COMPANIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE SHOPS BELIEVE THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY IS INVOLVED IN A DELIBERATE SYSTEM TO SEND YOU AND YOUR CAR TO SHOPS THAT ARE PRESELECTED BY INSURERS TO DO THE ABSOLUTE BARE MINIMUM TO FIX IT. EVEN TELLING BODY SHOPS TO USE USED OR RECYCLED PARTS BECAUSE THEY'RE CHEAPER. MATT PARKER IS AN AUTO SHOP OWNER IN MONROE, LOUISIANA, WHO SAID HE SEES THE SAME PROBLEM. HE SAID STATE FARM TOLD HIM TO USE A REMANUFACTURED HEADLIGHT IN A TOYOTA TACOMA. THIS IS WHAT HE GOT. >> IT'S GOT A HOLE IN IT HERE AND THEN YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEY SCREWED THIS BRACKET BACK ON THE VEHICLE. NOW, YOU CAN SEE HERE WHERE ALL THESE PARTS WERE KNOCKED OFF AND GLUED BACK TOGETHER. YOU CAN ALSO SEE HERE WHERE THE TOP CORNER AND THE LENS IS BUSTED AND THIS PART OF THE HEADLIGHT IS BROKEN. THIS CAME OUT OF A BOX WRAPPED LIKE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE -- ABSOLUTELY, LIKE A NEW PART. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WANTS US TO PUT THIS STUFF ON THE CAR. IF WE REFUSE TO PUT IT ON THE CAR, THEN THEY LABEL US AS A SHOP NOT WILLING TO GO ALONG WITH THEIR PROGRAM AND THEN TRY TO STEER OUR BUSINESS AWAY FROM US. >> Reporter: THIS IS WHY HE AND THE OTHER SHOPS RETAINED JOHN ARTHUR EVES TO SUE. >> EVERY STATE IN THE UNION IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME SORT OF STRUGGLE HERE BETWEEN THE BODY SHOPS TRYING TO DO AND INSURANCE COMPANY TRYING TO USE UNSAFE PARTS AND METHODS ON THEIR CARS. >> Reporter: BUDDY CALDWELL OF LOUISIANA BELIEVE IT TOO.

S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO INVESTIGATE. >> SALVAGE PARTS INFERIOR OR EVEN COUNTERFEIT PARTS RAISE SAFETY CONCERNS AND OFTEN, THOSE KIND OF PARTS INVOLVED IN THE PRACTICE OF STEERING AND THAT'S WHY I HAVE BEEN CONCERNED FOR YEARS ABOUT IT. AND WHY I THINK THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATING. >> Reporter: LOUISIANA'S ATTORNEY GENERAL CHOSE STATE FARM BECAUSE THEY'RE THE BIGGEST INSURER IN HIS STATE AND LEGAL FILINGS, THE COMPANY DENIES ALL THE ALLEGATIONS INCLUDING THE ALLEGATION THAT STATE FARM MANDATES USING AFTERMARKET PARTS. STATE FARM WOULD NOT GRANT INTERVIEW BUT SENT A STATEMENT INSTEAD. IT SAID OUR CUSTOMERS CHOOSE WHERE THEIR VEHICLES ARE GOING TO BE REPAIRED. WE PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT OUR SELECT SERVICE PROGRAM WHILE AT THE SAME TIME MAKING IT CLEAR THEY CAN SELECT WHICH SHOP WILL DO THE WORK. STATE FARM TOLD US TO BRING OUR SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO NEIL OLRIDGE WITH THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANIES. >> IT'S NOT JUST IN THE ECONOMIC INTEREST OF THE INSURER TO HAVE A CAR GO IN AND OUT OF AN AUTO BODY SHOP FOUR OR FIVE TIMES TO GET IT RIGHT. >> Reporter: WHY WOULD THEY RECOMMEND USED PARTS, FIXED PARTS OFF MARKET? >> SURE. MOST COMPANIES DON'T REQUIRE THIS. MOST COMPANIES OFFER A CHOICE TO CONSUMERS. MOST OF THE ANY SORT OF AFTERMARKET PART YOU MIGHT HEAR ABOUT ARE USUALLY COSMETIC PARTS. NOTHING RELATED TO THE SAFETY, THE MECHANICAL PARTS OF THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE LAWS IN ALMOST EVERY STATE THAT REQUIRE CONSUMERS TO BE TOLD THAT IF AFTERMARKET PARKTS ARE USED AND WHAT THEY ARE. >> Reporter: WE FOUND THIS NOTICE ON PAGE FOUR OF THE ESTIMATE ON PAGE SIX OF THIS ONE. >> IN MANY CASES, THESE PARTS ARE NO DIFFERENT. THEY'RE MADE ON THE SAME FACTORIES.

THIS AFTERMARKET BUMPER STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX NOT ONLY DOESN'T FIT BUT THE FASTENERS HAVE BEEN GLUED BACK TOGETHER AND THEN THERE'S THE QUESTION ABOUT THAT BROKEN AND REPAIRED TOYOTA TACOMA HEAD LAMP. >> IT'S OBVIOUSLY A REPURPOSED PART FROM A JUNK YARD AND IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, YOU'LL SEE HOW IT WAS GLUED TOGETHER, SNAPPED TOGETHER AND IN SOME CASES, EVEN WELDED AND SCREWED TOGETHER AND THIS IS WHAT THE INSURER TOLD THE PREFERRED BODY SHOP TO PUT ON THE CAR. LOOK AT THIS. YOU WOULDN'T WANT THAT IN YOUR CAR, I WOULDN'T WANT THAT IN MY CAR. >> I DON'T KNOW THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE PICTURE, SO I REALLY CAN'T COMMENT ON IT. >> Reporter: SO ARE THE ATTORNEY GENERALS WRONG IN SAYING THAT THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE, STATE FARM IN PARTICULAR, IS STEERING THEIR CUSTOMERS TO PREFERRED BODY SHOPS, PREFERRED BECAUSE THEY SAVE THE INSURANCE COMPANY MONEY, NOT THE CONSUMER? >> THE INSURANCE COMPANY MAY PROVIDE A LIST OF AUTO BODY SHOPS. AND THE CUSTOMER CAN SAY NO, I WANT TO GO TO JOE'S BODY SHOP AROUND THE CORNER AND THAT'S THE CHOICE. >> Reporter: THAT'S WHAT PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE TOLD US HAPPENED FOR THIS CAR. REMEMBER, IT'S THE CAR WE TOLD YOU ABOUT EARLIER WITH THE RIP TAIL FRAME THAT YOU COULD ONLY SPOT WITH THE BOROSCOPE. ONLY HIT FROM BEHIND. A PREFERRED BODY SHOP AND SENT BACK ON THE ROAD WITH A RIPPED AND HIDDEN TAIL FRAME. TURNS OUT IT WASN'T OLD, NOT REPAIRED.

Builders And Owners Love Asphalt Tiles
When it comes to residential roofing materials, asphalt is the product that is most synonymous with affordability and practicality. It is probably one of the most commonly used roofing materials around the world. Why are asphalt roofs so popular when there so many other materials on the market. This article explains why builders love to use asphalt roofing tiles, and why homeowners love owning an asphalt roof.
Building With Asphalt
Home builders, especially those of large developments and planned communities, love to use asphalt tiles because they are cheap when you break down the price per square foot. Additionally, they are probably the easiest roofing material to install. It doesn't require highly skilled laborers to apply and asphalt roof. Basically, builders can save money on the product and the installation, so it is no wonder that they love it. At the same time, asphalt tiles come in a lot of different colors, so it is easy to find a product to match any building style
Why Homeowners Love Asphalt Tiles
Homeowners love asphalt, even though they might seem to be an ordinary material. For one thing, they can certainly look amazing with any home style. While asphalt is certainly a hearty surface with a terrible texture, it is also quite stylish when you think about all of the colors available. Most asphalt has a speckled coloring. This means that it's not just one solid color. This coloring definitely makes it look more natural.
Most homeowners are appreciative of the fact that asphalt tiles are so easy to take care of. The surface on asphalt is textured, so it prevents ice build up. The texture can also prevent moss growth. However, if you do have any sort of green growing on your tiles, you can easily spray or scrub it off with force and still be certain that the asphalt will not get damaged.
If you do need to make any serious repairs to an asphalt roof, the person fitting the bill will love the fact that asphalt is so easy to repair or replace. It should be no problem finding a product to match your existing roof, so you can easily repair the damaged area.
Asphalt tiles have long been a popular material, and they are only going to become more and more popular over the years. They're becoming more stylish, and they are being built with better insulation, meaning that they are even more practical to own.

Johns Hopkins goes all in to fight Zika
The world's first ' multidisciplinary, hospital-based center' to treat patients and conduct research has opened in Baltimore. In Florida, there was more Zika-related news—and not all comforting.
Wednesday brought big news from Baltimore.
Leaders at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have opened the world's first comprehensive hospital-based center dedicated to treatment and research of the Zika virus.
A press release posted on the hospital's website read, in part:
The Johns Hopkins Wilmer Zika Center is a pioneering collaboration among leaders from theJohns Hopkins University School of Medicine, the Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Brazilian ophthalmology community. The center was established to facilitate the comprehensive care of patients with Zika virus, including infants with virus-related congenital defects, and to conduct research that helps identify effective therapies and ways to minimize transmission, according to Dr. Peter McDonnell, director of the Wilmer Eye Institute.
It went on to say:
Wilmer ophthalmologist William May, M.D., will serve as co-director of the Center and collaborate with specialists from epidemiology, infectious disease, maternal-fetal medicine, orthopedics, pediatrics, physiotherapy, psychiatry and social work to treat adult and pediatric patients with Zika virus infection.
Why is ophthalmology leading the effort?
According to the press release, eye abnormalities affect more than half of the babies born with Zika. Eye impairments also strike some adults diagnosed with the illness.
"The Wilmer Eye Institute will focus on the ophthalmologic manifestations of Zika. It has a team dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment and research of ocular conditions related to the cornea and the retina," the release said.
Spotlight on public awareness
On the heels of the Hopkins news comes guidance from professional press organizations on how reporters can educate the masses about Zika. Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard tweeted a resource list and tips on how best to cover the outbreak:
A bug in the ointment?
In Florida, there wasn't much love being spread around for Gov. Rick Scott and his wife. News broke that Florida first lady Ann Scott has a multi-million-dollar investment in a mosquito control service. TruthKings.com reported:
The company is Mosquito Control Services LLC of Metairie, LA. According to its website, MCS "is a fully-certified team of mosquito control experts – licensed throughout the Gulf Coast, including Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida." Back in June, the Governor signed an executive order to push over $26 million towards preventing and preparing for Zika. This included mosquito control via pesticides.
Snarky tweets—several laced with obscenities—popped up on Twitter:
Late Wednesday, the governor's office confirmed there are 43 cases of locally acquired Zika in Florida.
As the virus spreads, representatives of a local Planned Parenthood agency held a press conference condemning Scott over his leadership and efforts to fight Zika. The Miami Herald reported:
Lilian Tamayo, CEO for Planned Parenthood of South, East and North Florida said Miami-Dade has the highest amount of uninsured working-age adults in the state and a "staggering" rate of STIs, setting the state up for a disaster unless there's swift government action.
Tamayo criticized Florida Gov. Rick Scott for not reacting to the parts of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention action plan that call for more information and resources on family planning. "You cannot have a Zika strategy that focuses solely on mosquitoes," she said. "You can't cherry pick the CDC strategy."
Volunteers from Planned Parenthood have mobilized in the stricken areas of Miami. The Herald said:
For the next six weeks, 10 staff members will go door-to-door in areas where large groups of reproductive-age women live, including Little Haiti and Hialeah, but may not have been reached by state or federal Zika education efforts. Tanisha Osorto of Planned Parenthood said the effort will reach 25,000 households. The workers would knock on doors during six-hour shifts six days a week to get the word out.

Beginning their 10th MLS season, the two-time defending Western Conference champion Seattle Sounders open 2018 against the expansion Los Angeles FC at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 4, on ESPN, one of 13 games nationally televised in the 34-game schedule announced Thursday by MLS.
It's been a busy first few days of the off-season for the Seattle Sounders. The club exercised 11 contract options, declined another, had four players out of contract and lost its primary backup goalkeeper, Tyler Miller, to Los Angeles FC in the expansion draft. Thursday, the club announced it had acquired defender Waylon Francis from the Columbus Crew for $50,000 in allocation money.
TORONTO – Bullied in the midfield, then bent and broken at the back.
In their second consecutive MLS Cup final against Toronto FC, the Sounders were stopped cold. After not conceding a goal in a playoff-record 706 minutes, Seattle gave way in the second half, and dreams of repeating slipped away in a 2-0 loss at BMO Field.
TORONTO – Ahead of the Sounders' final practice of the year Friday, something needed to be done to ease the stress of defending their MLS championship in the the same place it was won, at BMO Field. So Roman Torres, to the delight of all, decided to re-enact his championship-winning penalty kick that brought Seattle its first title.
For the second year in a row, the Seattle Sounders are bound for the MLS Cup finals in Toronto. An early goal in the second leg of the Western Conference finals Thursday put things in cruise control, and Seattle finished off the depleted Houston Dynamo, 3-0, and 5-0 on aggregate.
In mid-May, the Sounders lost a third consecutive game (3-0 to Sporting Kansas City) to drop to 2-5-4, a certain sign that the perils of defending an MLS championship had consigned them to the hellfires of soccer condemnation.
"We had some dark days then," said coach Brian Schmetzer.
After a convincing 2-0 win on the road in the first leg of the Western Conference finals, the Seattle Sounders seem poised to push through for a MLS Cup rematch in Canada Dec. 9 after Toronto FC defeated the Columbus Crew in the Eastern finals Wednesday. Coach Brian Schmetzer isn't letting his team sleep on the Houston Dynamo, despite the fact that his side hasn't conceded a goal in its last 452 minutes of play.
Entering the first leg of the MLS Western Conference finals Tuesday, the Sounders had never won a match against the Dynamo in Houston. Thanks to an early goal and a crucial penalty kick decision, the Sounders filled in that blank in their history, and took a large step toward returning to the MLS Cup finals with a 2-0 victory in front of a record sellout crowd (22,667) at BBVA Compass Stadium.
After a two-week break for international play, the Seattle Sounders take on the Houston Dynamo in a two-leg series for a shot at a second consecutive MLS Cup. After defeating Cascadia rival Vancouver 2-0 in aggregate in the semifinals, the Sounders play the first match against the Dynamo in Houston at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday (FS1).
Major League Soccer Wednesday named Clint Dempsey of the Sounders, who missed the club's championship playoff run last year after he was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat, as the 2017 Comeback Player of the Year. Dempsey scored 12 regular-season goals and five assists. He was the second player in franchise history, following Eddie Johnson in 2012, to win the award.
It may have seemed normal. Clint Dempsey certainly wanted it to seem normal, saying, "I don't look at it like I missed out." But when the Sounders' superstar bagged both scores in the 2-0 triumph over Vancouver Thursday night at the Clink that put the Sounders in the Western Conference finals, it was a large matter beyond the victory.
Ahead of a winner-take-all semifinal second leg against the Vancouver Whitecaps Thursday (7:30 p.m., FS1), the Seattle Sounders still have lineup questions due to lingering injuries picked up late in the season. Tied 0-0 on aggregate after the first leg in Vancouver, the Sounders must win the match at CenturyLink Field to advance to the Western Conference finals.
The Seattle Sounders were spared a long trip for the Western Conference semifinals, thanks to a 5-0 thrashing of the San Jose Earthquakes by the Vancouver Whitecaps Wednesday night in the knockout round. The Sounders will play at BC Place Sunday (5:30 p.m., ESPN) before returning home for the second leg in Seattle Nov. 2.
Two goals in three minutes from forward Will Bruin clinched a ninth consecutive playoff berth for the Seattle Sounders Sunday at the Clink. The 4-0 win over FC Dallas was the second victory in the last eight matches, moving Seattle into third place in the Western Conference standings. The Sounders can finish the regular season no higher than second nor lower than fourth.
With two regular-season matches remaining, nine points separate first place from eighth in the MLS Western Conference. The fourth-place Seattle Sounders (12-9-11, 47 points), can guarantee themselves a spot in the postseason with a win at home against FC Dallas Sunday (4:30 p.m., FS1), but could still finish anywhere from the west's top spot to below the cutoff line.
So dire were the circumstances of the Seattle Sounders' lineup in Chester, PA., Sunday afternoon that Cristian Roldan, with a broken arm, was pressed into service as an attacking midfielder. Forced to make four changes to a roster that Wednesday bullied the Vancouver Whitecaps, the Sounders lost 2-0 to a Philadelphia Union team dwelling in the Eastern Conference basement.
The Sounders rediscovered their high-powered offense Wednesday night, thrashing the Western Conference-leading Vancouver Whitecaps FC 3-0 to end a 202-minute scoring drought and earn the first win in six matches. Nicolas Lodeiro had a goal and two assists as coach Brian Schmetzer shook up his formation.

A script is a simple text file, so you can type anything in it, even complete nonsense. But even scripts that look perfectly fine at first glance can behave very different than the programmer intended. In the simplest case, the compiler shows you an error message with the faulty line in the code. In less trivial cases, the error message happens when the script is running, and it may be not as informative. The worst case is code that gives no error message at all, but just does not do what it should, or even crashes or freezes. Any programmer encounters all those issues all the time. The difference of a seasoned programmer and a beginner is that the former knows what to do in such a case. So, get out of beginner mode as soon as possible. There are books and online seminars about script writing with Zorro and C. Utilize them.
The best way to avoid errors and bugs is good programming style - a style that allows quick reading and understanding the code. This is normally easy with strategy scripts that are short and have a linear structure. Still, it is possible even for a 20-line script to be written as a cluttered lump of code. Some suggestions for avoiding bugs already when writing the script:
Error messages when compiling the script indicate simple syntax errors. Something is mistyped, or a bracket or semicolon is missing (often in the previous line), or an object got the same name as a pre-defined function or variable (their names can be found in the include\functions.h and include\variables.h files). The script file and line in question is printed in the error message. This makes those errors easy to identify and fix, even for a beginner.
More subtle errors cannot be detected by the compiler, but produce a message at runtime. Under error messages you'll find a list of all such errors and warnings, and their likely reasons. Messages related to opening and closing positions are listed under Log; known issues with brokers are described on the related page (FXCM, IB, Oanda, MTR4, etc). The answers to many typical issues of script development can be found in the FAQ list.
If you see a runtime error message (like "Error 123: ....") in the message window, but have no clue at which part of your code the problem happens, the quickest way to find it is placing _POS() statements before suspicious places. The parameter is then displayed at the end of the error mesage. For instance, _POS(10) will add a (10) at the end of all subsequent error messages, and _POS("TEST") will add (TEST). You can remove the statements when the error is fixed.
If you trade live and see an error message beginning with an exclamation mark "!", it's a message from your broker, often giving the reason for not opening or closing a trade. For details, see Log about a list of all possible messages in a live trading session.
If backtest results seem not to be right, first look into the log (LOGFILE must be set). Select one or two trades and check them from begin to end. Many parameters can affect trade results in many different ways - make sure to check them all, and also read the remarks on their manual pages. Look for outlier trades with extremely high profits or losses. If needed, make sure that your script can deal with events such as stock splits.
Some beginner's errors are relatively easy to spot:
Other errors are harder to find. Sometimes a small change to the script has a large and unexpected effed on the result of a backtest. This can be just a random effect - in that case, your strategy is probably not good - or it has a particular reason. For finding out, run a test of the original and the changed script (or run it twice with and without change with a different LogNumber). If necessary, prevent training by temporarily disabling the PARAMETERS, RULES, or FACTORS flags. Then compare the two logs with a compare tool, such as BeyondCompare™. You can then directly see where prices, costs, or signals start to differ.
If a new Zorro version produces a different test result than the previous one, check first under What's new the list of differences that might have an effect on test results, such as a modified algorithm of an indicator or performance parameter. Also check if the default asset lists have been updated, resulting in different spreads and transaction costs. In case of doubt, install the new Zorro version in a different folder and compare logs of both versions as described above.
If your script behaves badly - for instance, it trades too often, or not often enough, or at the wrong time - you must debug it. Debugging strategy scripts is a special case of program debugging since you're normally interested in the behaviour of a variable or signal from bar to bar. You have to look into parts of the script that you suspect of wrong behavior. There are several methods to observe the behavior of variables, either from code line to code line, or from bar to bar, or during the whole test run:
They look more serious, but are normally easier to identify and fix than the bugs that only cause wrong behavior. You can encounter three types of crashes:
For fixing a freezing crash, check all loops and recursions in your script and make sure that they terminate. Loops waiting for user input should check with a wait() call if the [Stop] button was hit. Crashes of type 1 or 2 are also easy to fix when they happen regularly or always at the same bar or script position. They are only hard to find when they happen irregularly and their reason is not immediately obvious. Zorro has several mechanisms for detecting hard-to-find problems:
The hopefully least likely reason of script troubles is a bug in Zorro. Look first in the bug list. If you think you've encountered a new Zorro bug that no one else has seen before, please report it to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please give a precise description of what's happening under which circumstances and how to reproduce the problem; include your script, the log, and all related data such as asset list and asset history. You need no support ticket for bug reports. If the bug can be confirmed, it will appear on the bug list and will normally be fixed within a few days.
Don't be disappointed when you get the response that your bug is none, or is located in your script. This happens with 90% of all bug reports, and you can then safely assume that it can be found and fixed with the methods described above.
If really stuck, you can either ask for help on the Zorro user forum, or contact support (at) opgroup.de after subscribing a support ticket on the Zorro support page. Zorro support will answer all technical questions about Zorro, and also suggest ways to solve a particular problem or find a persistent bug. What support can't do is teaching the C language or fixing your script. For C, there are lots of books, tutorials, and courses available on the Internet. For fixing or writing strategy scripts, we can put you in contact with a programmer. The most frequent support questions are listed here.

Some words from Madii Himbury - 2018 Winter Olympian and USyd student studying a Bachelor of Applied Science.
Being apart of the Sydney Uni EAP program has enabled me to complete my undergraderate degree whilst focusing on my sporting endeavours. I find the tutoring services extremely helpful, enabling me to catch up on the practical component of my science degree. I also love training at the high performance gym with a program S&C Shane Ball. The gym provides all the equipment necessary for my dry land training. My scholarship provides me with the opportunity to train at a high level whilst studying to ensure I have more opportunities available to me once I finish ski training.
The challenge of being an elite athlete is balancing my sporting and academic commitments. It involves a lot of planning and organisations to complete both to a high level. The EAP program provides mentors to help us liaise with unit coordinators and tutors each semester. This includes applying for time off university classes, changes to assessments as well as organising tutoring to catch up on missed content. It is important not to overload and burn out, as I want to enjoy all the great experiences I am lucky enough to be apart of.
The Five by 25 program is important program to support all the competitive athletes with high long term aspirations. This program allows athletes the opportunity to pursue their academic and sporting goals and aspirations. The five by 25 campaign will ensure the future of the EAP program, that makes such as difference to so many people!

When it comes to the world of comic book films, there are inevitably always changes made to adapt the source material for a wider audience. After all, what works on the page may not translate well to the big screen, no matter how much purists may protest otherwise.
Naturally, heroes and villains clad in colorful outfits often find themselves in very different costumes than their comic book counterparts by the time they hit theaters. However, few superhero costumes are as iconic as Superman's, and now we have a glimpse at two takes on the Man of Steel that nearly made it to film before Superman Returns.
Courtesy of Think McFly Think, we have a look at some images from a pair of screen tests for the canceled Superman: Flyby project that nearly hit theaters in the mid-2000s. The actors in question - Brandon Routh and Henry Cavill - both wore a prototype design of the character's signature red-and-blue suit for their auditions.
The film - which was set to be directed by McG (Terminator Salvation) and scripted by J.J. Abrams - would have rebooted Superman mythology but was ultimately scrapped in favor of Bryan Singer's nostalgia-fueled 2006 film Superman Returns, starring Routh in the title role. Cavill, of course, inherited the part in Man of Steel when plans for a Returns sequel fell by the wayside, and Routh got another chance to join the DC universe as Ray Palmer/The Atom on The CW's Arrow, a role which may earn him his own spinoff.
These new images offer an interesting look at yet another interpretation of the characters, including a more armored look than either of the suits worn by Routh and Cavill in their respective films. While the dark red cape resembles the one Routh wore in Superman Returns, the larger chestplate and more toned torso do offer hints of the look depicted in Man of Steel.
Superman has worn endless variations of his famous suit over the years, and while every fan no doubt has his or her favorite version of the Man of Steel's costume (with another one on the way next year), it's always fun to speculate on how the character could be translated from page to screen and especially noteworthy to compare the suit Routh and Cavill wore in their auditions to the ones they ended up wearing on film.
What do you think of this unused design of the Superman suit? Is it better than the ones we got in Returns and Man of Steel? Sound off in the comments with your thoughts.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hits theaters on March 25, 2016.

Nyakim Gatwech is the queen of dark.
The Minnesota-based model has gained a lot of online attention after Yahoo News wrote about her unpleasant conversation with an Uber driver. The model-activist has been very vocal about loving her skin and who she is. She is not afraid to share her story and thanks to that she has appeared in local magazine covers to national campaigns. Getting to this point has been a journey for Nyakim to say the least and she doesn't plan on stopping any time soon.
Q: How did you cope and deal with the negativity and ignorance from haters back when you were in middle and high school?
When I was in middle school, I didn't know how to cope with the negative comments I received daily. Back then, the way I dealt with the negative comments was either locking myself in my room and crying or trying to fight the people that said mean things about me. I knew it wasn't solving anything. Locking myself in my room was causing me to become depressed and fighting back was getting me suspended from school. My problems weren't being solved, so I told my sister, "kids are making fun of me because of my complexion. What do I do? I wanna bleach [my skin] and all this stuff." She told me that [skin bleaching] wasn't the way to go about it.
She was the shoulder I cried on. We talked a lot. She would give me such great advice and remind me constantly how I am so beautiful and there is nothing wrong with being different. They [the bullying kids] aren't used to seeing someone that looked like me. They were scared of seeing [someone] different, seeing something new. In high school, I just didn't care [anymore]. I love myself. I didn't care what people had to say. I was just like, "you need help if you're going to talk down to me like that - something is bothering you. You just need a friend, or a hug or something." In middle school I didn't know how to cope with the negative comments as much as I did in high school. I grew to learn to love myself.
Q: How do you deal with them now?
Now, I am not bothered by it [the negativity]. I accept my skin, I love myself, I'm not insecure about my skin anymore. I don't think I'm ugly anymore. I have confidence in myself. It doesn't bother me as much because I am okay with who I am. Sometimes in the morning I remind myself, "out this door, there are going to be negative people looking at you sideways, people are going to say negative stuff to you, [but] it doesn't matter because you are beautiful inside and out and the people that see it will be more."
If you are so affected by the mean stuff people say about you, the negative comments people write about you then you attract negative people. But if you are positive and confident, then you attract the positive people. If you walk with pride, confidence and love yourself then you are going to attract people who come up to you and say, "oh, you're beautiful!" I have become a strong woman where I can stand up to anyone that says something to me and educate them. [I can tell them] the reason I look like this is because I come from this part of the world. There are so many beautiful human beings around the world, you never get to see all of them. We all look different. We are all different shapes, different sizes and its okay! We shouldn't be scared of different.
Q: Its one thing to deal with haters, but when you encounter Models, Designers or Makeup Artists, people who are supposed to be your peers, how do you push through?
That is the hardest thing, when its your workplace. With my fellow models, peers and friends, I wouldn't say anything. Sometime I would go to casting calls and I'll be sitting next to a group of girls and some of them would be nice and say things like, "oh, hi! Where are you from?" While some [models] would look at me like you're not a model, you shouldn't be a model (for whatever reason). I deal with this by not letting myself be bothered or brought down by it. There's a bigger picture. At first, I was doing it to just prove a point that I'm beautiful too. Now, I'm past that point, I am not just proving a point anymore. I'm standing up for all those little girls that were like me at one point, that are being bullied right now, that are going through the things that I went through.
You can do anything you put your mind to, right now I am doing this for them, for my younger self. For Makeup Artists and photographers, I feel like it has gotten better for me right now. When I shot with photographers in the past, I would do a photoshoot and its dope, and the photographer would edit it and send me the pictures and they are so light. Its gotten better, I would talk to them [photographers] and be like "hey, I'm not trying to be rude, I know this is your job, [this is] something you're good at, but I feel like this is just too light, its not my complexion, do you think you can tone it down the lightening?" And some of them [photographers] would be like "okay, thank you for letting me know that." And they would fix it. For the Makeup Artists, when I'm getting my makeup done, either they would put a foundation two shades lighter because they didn't have my foundation shade and my face would look different from my neck or they would say "Oh you don't need a foundation" because they just don't have my foundation. I just started to always carry my foundation with me. Instead of being hurt by it, [thinking] "oh now I can't do this photoshoot. My makeup don't look right. I don't want to offend the photographer". I am nice about it and say, "hey I have this foundation that I think is dark enough". I just have a solution or try to talk in a very kind way, before I just didn't say anything and go home and cry about it. "I had the worst photoshoot or fashion show", "I looked so bad on the runway" but now I speak up.
Q: What do you do to practice self love?
I look in the mirror every day and remind myself that I am beautiful, I am different, I am strong and I am confident. I talk about it [self love] on my Instagram and Twitter. I love to do makeup. I get my nails done. I treat myself, because, in the past, I didn't.
Q: During MNFW you mentioned not only black girls, but girls of all shades and sizes reach out to you. Why do you think they feel encouraged by you to do so?
I feel like it's because I tell my story. I am easy to be connected to. I was willing enough to tell my story about how I got bullied because of my skin color and how I was told I shouldn't be a model. The fact that I was able to open up and tell my story, that is what made it easier for little girls and other models to reach out to me and be like, 'hey this is what I'm struggling with, what can I do?' If I can, I would give them advice. With my story, I was just being myself. I did not plan to write the Uber story. I don't even know how that came up! Honesty! I was just posting [as usual]! Every time I post a picture on Instagram, I write something motivating.
For the Uber story, I was looking at our skin color, because it's the first thing you see when you look at the picture. And I just wrote the story [in the caption] and Yahoo! saw it. I feel like the reason they are able to reach out to me is because I am myself. I check my Instagram messages all the time. If you want to send me a message or email, reach out. I will give you the best advice I can. I always put myself in their shoes.
Q: If you could say anything to that Uber driving from that one day, what would you say?
I feel like I would say the same thing to them as when I first had the conversation. Which was 'I am sorry you feel that way and feel concerned but the state I am in right now I love myself and I am beautiful. I would never bleach my skin for anyone or any opportunity," because I [apparently] would miss job opportunities for whatever reason. That's what I told the uber driver. You have the right to feel that way, you have the right to your opinion, but I love myself right now. In the past, I did consider bleaching my skin, but right now I would never do it for that reason – or any reason at all. If he told me what he did while in middle school, I would have cried. I would have said "yeah, I wanna do that!" but today, I am confident in what am I, who I am and where I come from. If a guy doesn't find me attractive because of my skin color, that's his problem. If I don't find a job, that's their loss.
Q: What are your thoughts on Instagram and its impact on girls' self esteem?
Instagram is a good network and social media platform, but I also feel like it can tear you down as a person. There are so many "how you're supposed to look" pages out there. So many people you follow are living lives that are so perfect, but you don't see the stuff they go through daily on Instagram. Never trust what you see on the screen completely. That's not always the truth. [However], at the same time, it is a good platform to make something out of your life. You can reach out to big brands through Instagram. Its good and its bad.
I feel like there should be an age limit too. My little cousin, she is 10 years old and has an Instagram. She said, "Auntie, I am following you." I said, "where?" "Oh, I see you on Instagram!" "Through whose account?" "I just created an account [on my own]." I'm like, "no, no, no". There are so many bad things on there. It can tear you down, it can build you up, you've got to be a strong person to not let what you see on a phone or laptop screen tell you who you are as a person or make you think twice about the life you have.
Q: Lastly, do you have any words of advice for girls struggling with self confidence and self esteem?
My advice is to build self confidence, feel confident in who you are and love yourself. There are so many people who love you and want to be your friend. If you are having self-confidence issues you are not going to see the people who love you, you are going to focus on the negative people. So my advice is to just talk to the people who love you. Talk to your friends, if you are being bullied talk to someone. Talk to family. Work on loving yourself and know that at the end of the day it comes down to you. If you don't love yourself, no one else will. But as a little girl, how do you work on that? How do you work on your self confidence? I didn't know how to. I cried a lot and locked myself in my room.
So I'm not expecting you to be able to do this right away. Confidence takes time. It takes time to build yourself when you're at that stage. Just know there are more people that love you than hate you.

Animals having fun
Last week Juliette Spertus commissioned this mural for her son Galen. The theme is "animals having fun", and is a mash up of images from Juliette and her husband Darby's childhoods. Basically I'm pumped that I got to spend a week thinking like a little kid, and by week I mean my entire life.

Continuing our discussion of the novel based on the Hong Sisters' TV show My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox (김성연,홍정은 & 홍미란의"내 여자친구는 구미호"), I'm sensing the influence of "The Matrix" a little. Do you want the red pill or the blue pill? Chapter 5, "The Vanishing 9-Tailed Fox," begins immediately with Daewoong wondering about the sun shower. Miho has some unpleasant encounters with strangers in the meantime and locks herself in a public restroom, forcing everyone to knock on the door to get her to open it. Employees of wherever she is go to get the key. Finally, Daewoong shows up, but she doesn't want him to see her.
When she finally comes out, they go back to the action school to eat and talk about Daewoong's career goals, what action is exactly and his audition. At some point, they are out walking, and Miho smashes a wall in annoyance. They meet a man with a beer whom Daewoong recognizes as Director Ban, the head of the action school. He's wearing his trademark trench coat, which makes him resemble the star of a Hong Kong movie. Ban is Seonnyeo's father and the man Daewoong must audition for since he's directing the movie "The Moon and the Swordsman." Daewoong sees Director Ban's zipper is open, and both he and Miho are shocked.
An older woman in nightclothes in the building near them also sees him and screams as the wall collapses. In the next scene, the woman is filing a police report against Ban for indecent exposure, though Ban tries to defend himself by saying he was just relieving himself. The police are skeptical and try to get him to pay damages for the wall, but Ban is insistent. Daewoong jumps in and says he saw the whole thing, trying to keep Miho from admitting she was the one who accidentally damaged the wall with her supernatural fox strength. Director Ban thanks Daewoong for his help after this situation with the police is resolved, and he discovers Daewoong is a friend of his daughter's and studies at the school.
The next day, Daewoong teaches Miho how to wash up, including how to use the shower and brush her teeth. She ends up eating the toothpaste instead and has other mishaps. He tries to get her to act like a human, and she tells him there is a way she could become human. At this point, Daewoong has her jewel again. One thing that I can't keep straight is when he has it and when he doesn't. That's particularly hard for me to follow for some reason. Anyway, she is out on the roof thinking about taking out her jewel, but she doesn't want that to be the end of the situation with Daewoong. She wants to stay by his side even if he doesn't have her jewel anymore, and she tries to think of how she can do that.
Later, Miho is looking again for the free coupons for a local chicken shop, and an older woman sees her going through the garbage, which she thinks is shameless for a young lady. She wonders if Miho is a foreigner and glares at her.
Miho meets Dongju again near the subway, and he reminds her again that they aren't human, runs down his complete list of stats, including his role as veterinary hospital director, and asks if she wants to see where he lives. When they arrive at his house, it is bare. Not one painting is on the walls, and it is odorless and colorless. He tells her he has to change his job and residence often since it looks strange otherwise. She asks how long he's been doing that, and he says for a long time, longer than her captivity in the painting. Miho's resolve hardens, and she tells him she also wants to live in the human world like he does and asks for his advice. He admits he has to live with no connection to anyone, no friends, family or lovers. She senses how painful this is, and she tells him she can't live with humans forever like that. He asks her coldly if she'd prefer death to returning to the temple. She is a little flustered, never really thinking living forever would be a problem.
Finally, he tells her that she can become human if she receives the energy of a human when she's dying. She thinks of Daewoong. Dongju takes out his fox-hunting sword and shows it to her. He smears its edge with his own blood and says his blood is able to kill her if she drinks it. She would receive the energy from a human through her fox jewel. Miho is speechless and shocked by his revelation. He repeats himself that if she drinks his blood for 100 days while receiving a human's energy through her fox jewel, she can become human. His eyes are cold when she asks why he's telling her this. He says it's because she reminds him so much of Gildal, the woman he mentioned when they met at the department store. She asks if Gildal became human, then about the 100 day incubation process of the jewel, but he is doing something with a cup on the dining room table. He doesn't answer her but mentions she should have Daewoong help her, though she shouldn't trust a human. She only knows she wants to stay by Daewoong's side and wonders if this is possible.
Daewoong goes to see Director Ban in his office to discuss his audition. Ban says his action scenes are dangerous and wonders if Daewoong will be able to keep up. He says he can. Ban tells him to report the next day for the read through. Daewoong is a little confused about the casting, and the producer questions the need for Daewoong. After their meeting, Daewoong runs into Byeongsu and Seonnyeo, who congratulate him on the movie role and joke about how he's going to be a star. Hyein also appears and congratulates him and suggests they all go out for a celebration dinner that evening. Daewoong thinks of Miho waiting at home for him and his promise to have dinner with her. Seeing his hesitation, Hyein asks if there's someone else he wants to celebrate with. He says his grandfather, and she agrees he should.
Next, we see Daewoong at his grandfather's house, talking about the movie. His Aunt Minsuk says something about Director Ban, and they want to know how she knows him. She's a single, older woman, and grandfather suggests she go see Director Ban at the action school under the pretext of saying thank you for Daewoong's role. She's a little flustered by this. They talk about ET the movie for some reason I couldn't quite figure out, but the context was his grandfather suggesting he bring Miho over to meet them.
Meanwhile, Miho is walking around town, looking with longing at the humans she sees around her who seem happy and less lonely than she feels. She's in turmoil over the episode with Dongju's blood. Hyein calls Daewoong while he's at his grandather's to see about still going out with him somewhere, though she understands he feels a heavy responsibility where Miho is concerned. He says he owes Miho. Hyein asks Daewoong if he likes her, but he says he doesn't like Hyein even though it's a dream come true to have her interested in him. When he gets home later, he is drunk and feels terrible. He rather harshly asks Miho to leave, which gets her upset.
Chapter 6 starts with him waking with no memory of the night before or how much he drank. Miho isn't there, and he wonders where she went. He keeps yelling for her and can't find her, only her coupons. Miho is out wandering the streets again, crying. Even though the weather is fine, it starts raining, which clues Daewoong back at home as to what has happened. He wonders how this rain thing works for arctic or desert foxes. He ends up meeting Hyein instead, and they have sodas. A lot of this chapter is Daewoong out celebrating with friends talking about becoming a star while Miho is alone brooding about Dongju's scary proposition. She couldn't have picked a more self-absorbed guy to help her.
Miho goes back to see Dongju, who has a blue bottle with her jewel in it. She cautiously accepts the bottle. He wonders what she will do if Daewoong refuses to help her become human, but his question hurts her, and she says she won't ask him. She takes the bottle of Dongju's blood out of her bag. Seeing the bottles together, she knows she has to choose either the crimson bottle with his blood that will make her human or the blue bottle with her jewel that will send her back to the temple. He tells her to take her time.
Daewoong signs his movie contract then goes out with Byeongsu and Seonnyeo. They talk about how he won't be able to take public transportation when he's a star, and he thinks about what car he would like, though he would need to earn money or borrow money from his grandfather to get one. While they are talking, Daewoong is hit by a motorcycle, and they rush him to the hospital. Looking at the ex-ray of his arm, the doctor asks if he has been in a serious accident. Daewoong thinks of Miho's jewel. He mentions he's working on a movie and has no pain, but the doctor says that's only okay if it isn't an action film. He thinks over everything while he's waiting at the hospital with his friends.
Meanwhile, Miho gets money from Dongju to go out and get some meat. She spends more time looking at the crimson bottle and thinking about how she'd like to be human like the happy people she sees around her. Miho is the only one alone, and she longs to be connected to other people. This makes her rather depressed.
Daewoong talks to Director Ban in the production office, and Ban insists he can't postpone the bone-breaking sword practice he has in mind for Daewoong. Since Daewoong hasn't seen Miho at home, he calls the temple with the fox painting to see if she returned, and he was told the fox was still missing from the painting. He can't figure out where Miho has disappeared to.
Miho stops at the chicken shop where the older woman she saw there before was. This Mrs. Kang talks to Miho about her husband before Miho continues on to the action school, and she smells Daewoong coming toward her. They both are happy when they meet, and they have a soda together. They talk about him taking the jewel back, and he says the jewel will make him feel refreshed. She says she doesn't have the jewel but to wait while she fetches it. This scene cuts off rather abruptly, but this turns out to be fairly effective when we reach the climax at the end of the chapter. In the interim, Daewoong goes to visit his grandfather and aunt to talk about the film and avoiding injury, meeting Hyein at the department store for dinner, having a couple ring in his bag and a chicken leg pillow for Miho. Hyein questions him about his health because Seonnyeo told her he was dropping out of the film, and he tells her not to worry. The couple ring ends up deep in his bag, and he doesn't give it to her.
The next two scenes that end the chapter are really intense and interesting in their execution. First, Dongju has made steak for the first time to serve Miho. Miho is happy that Daewoong has her jewel again, but Dongju wonders if he can stay away from other women for 100 days. She says she trusts him, but he mentions Gildal and the way she too loved humans and was betrayed in the end. Gildal disappeared, and Miho can die. Most of this scene has continued references to the red and white wine cups on the table that they move around between them, which is interesting symbolism and parallel to her choice of the blue and crimson bottles. When he goes to wash one of the cups, he comments about her and Daewoong's death, smiling a cold, derisive smile. Miho must still be in the other room when he does this, the setting is a little vague, but I think it adds to the feeling overall in the book of Dongju seeming much more sinister and troublesome. Perhaps he wants to hurt her now that she has rejected his lonely lifestyle when she is perhaps the only being around who can really ease his own loneliness. Hopefully, we'll see more of his background. I still have no idea why his blood is important or what kind of supernatural creature he is exactly. The TV show says later he's a half-fox, but it doesn't elaborate.
The final scene of the chapter shows Daewoong returning to the warehouse with an uneasy feeling. At first, Miho isn't there, but when she appears, he's overjoyed. She takes out two bottles, one of which is blue that she says holds the jewel. He looks at the blue bottle. She asks him if he is willing to incubate it, reminding him that he can't mix with another woman's energy while he has it. He says he understands and promises to protect it. She asks if he can do it for 100 days, but he balks. That's too long, he objects. If he can't be with other women, doesn't that make her his girlfriend? Yes, Miho says. She asks if he wants her to become his girlfriend, and he says he doesn't. After they discuss it awhile, Daewoong puts the couple ring on her finger and declares her his girlfriend for the next 100 days. At the end of this proposal, Daewoong takes the blue bottle, Miho the red, and they sit across from one another on a wooden bed, lifting their bottles high to toast each other before they both drink them down. The chapter ends there, a perfectly dramatic place to stop. That was the best chapter so far, and I really like the way this storyline is presented in the novel.
Part three of a five part series.

Over two years into the life span of the hot promoting Nintendo Wii console it is time to take a step again and evaluate some of the console's most irritating shortcomings and how this money cow of a machine might have been a lot more. While the perspective makes gameplay more lifelike, it limits the participant's visual field. Those that want this type of gaming really feel that they have a extra intimate connection with the in-game characters. Gamers could find it tough to control their characters.
I performed on default difficulty, so I think about reducing that or playing a unique class would assist. Oh. Effectively, I won't get to play the games anytime soon anyway, so once I cleared out most of my backlog, the patch will definitely be out 🙂 Large backlog is huge_.
Medics will obviously be the healers as they kill enemies they are going to be reviving players, soldiers will likely be at the frontlines mowing down chimera whereas special ops can even do their share of proudly owning whereas providing the team with ammo.
I have not performed Pink Faction: Armageddon, but I have Crimson Faction: Guerrilla. In contrast to the previous polls, which saw over a thousand people participate, the variety of Famitsu readers who cared sufficient about FPS and TPS video games to reply was significantly smaller.
Players cannot cover behind objects without dropping the flexibility to see or shoot enemies. You may as well create your personalised sackboy/lady or download some of the cool outfits from the Playstation store. (I do know) but technically is a shooter right?!, though it would not have trophies… it is best to nonetheless play that recreation.

As cliche as it may sound, I cannot believe an entire year has passed since I began this adventure. I met lovely clients, worked on amazing projects and learned so much about running a business.
I have many exciting projects in the works right now that I look forward to sharing photography of when they are completed. But for now, they must remain a surprise!
May the second year of business bring even more happy clients, successful projects and inspirational travel. Thank you to everyone that has supported me this first year! Especially to everyone that reached out and trusted me with their EGD & Graphic Design projects. It is truly appreciated and I look forward to working with each one of you more in the future!
