Am I dead? I think I might be dead. City Hunter may have gone killed me dead.
This finale hits all the right notes for me, wrapping up the plot and giving us some emotional payoffs along with the narrative resolutions, and doing it with suspense, tension (my blood pressure is still spiked, I swear), and satisfaction. The ending leaves me feeling wistful and bittersweet at the cost it took to get to this point of resolution, but the series signs off with enough openness that I can imagine my own continuation of the story from here.
Or, you know, they could give us a Season 2.* JUST SAYIN'.
*Seriously! We have such ideas for another season! Really good ones. Auuuuugh, Season 2 aja!

Let me just take a moment to talk about Young-ju's death, which I freaking love and yet totally am shattered about. He was the one person — aside from Yoon-sung — whose death would have really meant something to me, which would've knifed me in the gut and then twisted the blade, and I'm totally in awe that the drama went there. Even if I'm also feeling a little raw and upset about it.
Just when we thought they weren't going to actually get dark and serious and kill anybody to add that bit of gravitas you can't fake with near-misses, the drama went and knocked one off that really, really counts. Nana and Shik-joong had their moments, and if they'd been killed at this stage, I would have been dissatisfied — it would've been too late to have impact, and lost its shock factor, and I would have argued that both characters would have been more effectively killed earlier.
I may be one of a minority who loved the Young-ju character the whole way through — so determined, so passionate, so upright and fair — but even more than that, his death has such resonance because it makes a difference on an ideological level. As was pointed out in the previous recap, these two men were capable of doing what the other couldn't, and therefore they both needed each other to mete justice. Now with Young-ju gone, he practically mandates that Yoon-sung do the right thing, without distractions or wavering or letting personal feelings interfere with the truth. It sets us up for a pretty dramatic conclusion in this episode, for sure.
They way he dies is so thematically perfect, and consistent with character. Of course Young-ju would choose to face the bad guy over his own safety; he always has the greater good in his sights, even if he's sacrificing his own health to ensure it would be protected. When he took out his phone to ward Yoon-sung away from him, gaaaaahhh that just about killed me.
So I was already half-dead when starting this episode, which killed me all over again.
Beaten to a bloody pulp by Chun Jae-man's minions, Young-ju dies, hand clasped in Yoon-sung's.
And then…Kim Jong-shik wakes up in his hospital bed. Oof. What timing.
You know what? Now I'm glad Kim Yong-shik is alive, because waking up to find that his cohort-in-crime killed his son? It's the perfect way to make him regret his actions for the rest of his life, in a way that his suicide attempt would never have achieved.
(I'm sorry for doubting you, City Hunter. I should have had more faith. *sobs*)
Yoon-sung takes Young-ju's phone, and sees the text message supposedly sent from the City Hunter that directed him to the junkyard.
He asks Jin-pyo why he did it, and Jin-pyo replies that all he was doing was sending the prosecutor to find the truth. Yeah, if you put the truth in the middle of a lion's den and strapped a bloody steak to his chest.
Yoon-sung says that Jin-pyo essentially killed the innocent prosecutor, to which Jin-pyo says that his comrades were innocent men who died, too: "Now Chun Jae-man will die at my hands."
Chun arrives at the port for his getaway, only to be stopped by Jin-pyo, who takes out the two minions swiftly with his cane. He doesn't even break his stride, much less a sweat.
Chun stutters, "What do you want?" Jin-pyo: "Your life."
Chun makes feeble excuses for the 1983 massacre, saying he had no choice. Jin-pyo turns that right back on him, saying there's no choice now, either: He's gotta die.
Chun dashes for the boat, scrambling away from the slowly advancing Jin-pyo, who at one point is beautifully framed by the Korean flag behind him and the ship's light casting him in shadow — now there's an avenging angel of death if ever there was one.
As Chun kneels and begs for mercy, the camera shifts focus to their two shadows. We hear Jin-pyo drawing his sword-cane, then striking.
Yoon-sung arrives at the dock and makes his way to the boat, finally finding the bodies of the minions unconscious, and Chun Jae-man lying in a pool of blood. He shouts in frustration.
Yoon-sung flips through the secret book, reading about Operation Clean Sweep's origins and the five men who orchestrated the affair: now-dead Senator Lee Kyung-wan, former presidential candidate Seo Yong-hak, recently comatose Kim Jong-shik, freshly killed Chun Jae-man…and President Choi Eung-chan.
The last name is the surprise, and Yoon-sung understands now: "This is what it all comes down to?"
In the morning, he goes to his father to tell him he's responsible for Young-ju's blood as well as Chun's. Jin-pyo says calmly that Chun was the one who killed Young-ju, but Yoon-sung counters, "You're no different from Chun Jae-man. He didn't kill those special agents himself, either. He merely borrowed the hands of others."
That pushes a button, and Jin-pyo whips his blade around to point at Yoon-sung's throat: "You dare put me in the same category as Chun Jae-man?!"
Surprising Jin-pyo with his knowledge of the full truth, Yoon-sung asks if the final step in Jin-pyo's cruel revenge was to have President Choi Eung-chan die at his son's hands: "You've had quite a lot of fun these past 28 years, stealing me from my mother, making me believe a different man was my biological father, and telling me to take revenge against my real biological father. That revenge — I don't think I'll be able to do it."
Jin-pyo asks if it's because of their blood tie, but Yoon-sung says no, and that he's seen up close what a good president Choi is. Jin-pyo counters that he didn't get to his current position with clean hands, and says, like the sadistic bastard that he is, "I look forward to seeing your expression when you find out what he's really like." Yoon-sung says, "Don't look forward to seeing my expression, period. Things won't happen the way you want."
Seo Yong-hak — ironically, he's the safest of the targets in prison — sees the impending shitstorm and tries to pre-emptively strike to protect himself. Calling the press, he announces that the fifth City Hunter target will be the president, and that the five targets had been involved in Operation Clean Sweep together — but that the first four were "scapegoats of revenge." The actual leader, he declares, was the president.
This forces the president to also speak to the media, and he calls an emergency press conference. He plays the "I know nothing about this" angle, though — and why do I feel like you're reliving your childhood regret of refusing to cop up to the stolen lunch? The harder you insist now, the more disgraceful this is going to be later…
The president ends the press conference having stated nothing of relevance, but is stopped by one last question: Was he aware that the Seoul district prosecutor who was in search of the confidential records has died? Judging from his reaction, this is a surprise.
When Sang-gook hears the latest news, things finally click into place for him. He'd wondered all this time why Jin-pyo was wasting his time talking up senators and high-ranking officials when he had the book in his possession, but now he guesses that Jin-pyo was purposely bribing the people around the president, to feed the corruption before taking him down for it.
Sang-gook pleads for Jin-pyo to end this now, to restore honor to the dead and stop there. Jin-pyo ignores him, as usual.
The mood is heartbreaking at Young-ju's funeral. Sae-hee collapses in tears, his father weeps quietly, and his co-workers mourn his loss. Surprisingly, more than the tears or apologies, I'm moved by his boss's reaction; he says in a shell-shocked voice, "Dead or alive, you're one of my boys. What you couldn't finish, I'll do it for you. I'll catch all the bastards who did this to you and feed them prison rice, and that society of justice that you so wanted to see realized… As long as I'm wearing my prosecutor's robes, I'll do everything to preserve it."
Oh, that breaks my heart. Why does this make me cry even more than his actual death? It must be that painful understanding that Young-ju's death carries narrative purpose, and that makes it particularly poignant to see that people are spurred by it. When you live a life so passionately and unwaveringly, your conviction moves people, even if it's belatedly in death.
The president arrives and pays his respects, and a few moments later Yoon-sung steps through the doors. Young-ju's assistant Pil-jae gets in his face belligerently, asking why he's here: "This happened to our prosecutor because he was chasing you. The City Hunter! That's you!"
He calls Yoon-sung a murderer and screams his vow to catch him.
(Aggggggh, this is such a perfect setup for Season 2, it's kills me. No really, there are little bits of my sanity dying right now, so aggrieved are they that such a fantastic setup won't get to see fruition — 'cause this means we have the dumber, slower, but now incredibly impassioned second prosecutor taking the place of the first, but operating under an incomplete understanding of the truth, vowing with all the best of intentions to capture the City Hunter…)
Without confirming or denying the City Hunter accusations, Yoon-sung tells the president quietly, "I came because of the loss of a worthy prosecutor, but I'll go."
Sang-gook joins Team City Hunter to share what he's found regarding the connection between the president and Chun Jae-man. There are signs of deals and favors being made between them, such as the large amount of Haewon Group money that funded Choi's presidential campaign.
President Choi mulls over the accusation of Yoon-sung being the City Hunter. Not happy news for him. He looks over immigrations records that place Yoon-sung's entrance into the country just months ago, and puts together the facts that have been there all along, such as Yoon-sung's proximity when the City Hunter routed his incriminating videos through the Blue House's network.
Those suspicions are confirmed when prosecutor Pil-jae drops by to fill him in on the City Hunter investigation. He explains that Young-ju had been chasing Jin-pyo and Yoon-sung, the former of whom is linked to the 1983 incident. Yoon-sung, on the other hand, was born to former Secret Service agent Park Mu-yeol…and Lee Kyung-hee.
This comes as news to the president, who clenches his hand as he registers the implication.
Nana warns Yoon-sung that the president may have caught on to his identity, and has requested his personnel file. Yoon-sung is called in to his office, and for a moment both father and son look at each other, both knowing the truth but pretending not to.
President Choi asks if he'd seen the press conference. Yoon-sung asks the loaded question about whether his statements (denying knowledge of Operation Clean Sweep) were true — will he cop to the truth, or deny it? He waits tensely for the answer.
Choi says, "It's true."
Aw, that's disappointing. Choi explains that being president requires him to make decisions, too many in number for one person to handle alone, so he's chosen to concentrate on two causes: the health and education of the people, which he will do his utmost to protect. It's why he was against Chun's bill to privatize health care, and against Kim's methods of denying university students tuition. In a few days' time, an amendment regarding these social issues will be up for a vote, and he's determined to pass it.
Yoon-sung asks if he'd still stand by those causes even if the methods he uses are unjust.
Nana hears the truth of Yoon-sung's paternity from Kyung-hee and asks Yoon-sung about it. She understands the dilemma he faces of going up against his father, and doesn't want him to continue.
He tells her that Targets 1 through 4 all had corrupt skeletons in their closet: "If they hadn't, I would have forgiven them." When Nana asks if he'll act against the president, too, he hesitates a moment before replying, "If he's corrupt."
Nana tries to argue that he doesn't have to be the one to punish the president, but Yoon-sung cuts her off to say that that's the dilemma faced by Young-ju, who didn't act and covered up his father's misdeed: "But was that really to his father's benefit?"
In strategizing their next move, Team City Hunter focus their attention on Senator Lee Young-taek, who is under investigation for taking bribes regarding Chun's privatized medical care bill. He's a necessary figure in passing the president's amendment.
True to expectation, the president meets with Lee Young-taek in a restaurant, asking for privacy. Lee asks what he'll get in return for backing the bill, and President Choi offers to get the police to back off their investigation. Oh no, you just gave the City Hunter reason to go after you…
Choi isn't happy with the deal — he clenches his fist tellingly — but sees it as a necessary evil. Lee accepts the deal and leaves, at which point Choi's expression darkens.
And then, the sliding door to the adjoining room opens, and there stands Yoon-sung: "I had no idea you were so skilled in striking deals, Mr. President."
Choi stands by his choice, though: He doesn't regret the compromise made because it will enable countless students' educations. People want this amendment to pass because tuitions are too high, but the people with power are the politicians and rich fat cats. He says that in politics you have causes that require you to make deals, and there's no other way to effect change.
Yoon-sung asks the Jean Valjean question of whether it's okay for orphans to steal in order to eat. I'm guessing he didn't see Les Mis, because the whole tenor of that story runs counter to his point. But he argues that you can't sacrifice things along the way when brokering your backdoor deals, and use them to cover up corruption.
He informs the president that he has the confidential book: "That decision you don't regret — I'll make you regret it." Phew. Badass son.
Nana has been keeping watch with the bodyguards outside, but picks up on a strange noise and heads off in search of the potential trouble. She bursts into the president's dining room moments after Yoon-sung's departure, but the whole point of the distraction was to allow Yoon-sung this confrontation without Nana in the mix.
Posing as a reporter, Yoon-sung tracks down a man involved in President Choi's presidential campaign and asks about the funding source. The man has his own suspicions, but suggests that Choi kept record of it somewhere, since he's scrupulous about keeping ledgers.
The man then warns the president that a man had sought him out asking for information, and Choi guesses that Yoon-sung will seek him out soon.
Yoon-sung goes to the presidential quarters and cites tutoring for Da-hae as his reason for gaining entrée, but hides himself in a separate room. He goes through the study looking for that ledger, but finds nothing.
President Choi senses Yoon-sung is around and retrieves the ledger from its hiding place inside his pillow, and finds Yoon-sung mid-search. Holding out the book, he asks if this is what he came for, and wonders at Yoon-sung's motivation for doing this.
Yoon-sung: "Because of faith. The faith that citizens have that the politicians they elect will act in good conscience. The faith that soldiers who enlist to protect their country have that their country will protect them. The faith that universities will turn out talented people, for the sake of our next generation. The faith that businesses will both suffer with and grow alongside their workers. And the faith of twenty-one men who were promised by their country to be met off the shores of Nampo. Protecting that faith is my cause."
Goddamn that is a good speech. Young-ju is deeply principled in his belief in the law and the quest for justice, but despite their differences, Yoon-sung is just as principled in his own cause, even if that requires him to break some laws.
The president says, "In the past 28 years, I never for one day forgot Operation Clean Sweep. I understand well how much pain Jin-pyo felt." Uh, unless you were shot in the chest by the bullet that pierced your best friend's heart, I'm gonna say you don't. But okay, we're being figurative here.
President Choi gives Yoon-sung the book, calling this the record of the illegal funds "I had no choice but to receive." Dude, I get that you're a decent guy with a moral compass that's relatively normal — not like the skewed megalomania of your Council-mates — but your tendency to frame everything as though you're a victim of your own choices is starting to piss me off.
But at least he's a man who understands that his actions will have consequences: He tells Yoon-sung that he'll be grateful if he's the one to handle this. Yoon-sung takes the book and heads out silently, stopped when President Choi calls out, "Yoon-sung-ah. The father who made you live this way is sorry."
Ack! Yoon-sung is stunned at this admission, but not swayed from his own cause. He walks out quietly, determinedly, with tears in his eyes.
Nana asks if he means to continue to the end, saying that the longer this goes on, the person most hurt is himself. Yoon-sung says he must, as there's nobody else to do it.
He's disheartened as he swoops into action, but doesn't stray from his path; he sends copies of the confidential 1983 file to media outlets, as well as the ledger pages detailing the illegal campaign contributions.
Voting begins on the amendment, just as the packages arrive at the papers. The amendment passes, to the president's relief, but that elation is cut short by the breaking of the news of his two scandals. Calls are made for impeachment.
Choi tells an aide ruefully, "It's okay. I feel a weight has been lifted. This is how it should have been from the start."
The next delivery to the front of the prosecutor's office is a six-parter, with the bribed senators roped together and delivered with photographic evidence of their misdeeds.
After monitoring the news, Yoon-sung gets up to prepare for the inevitable confrontation: "Father will be coming."
Meanwhile, Jin-pyo readies his handgun and puts on the remaining dog tags.
Nana is entered into the system as being off-duty tomorrow, to her surprise. Aw, Yoon-sung, trying to take her out of harm's way — and consequently putting her right in the thick of it, because what are the odds Nana is going to sit this out knowing that he's planning to move? Thinking of the possible conflict, Nana contemplates her own gun.
Yoon-sung prepares his gun, too, and can I say that I do not care for this elegiac background score? I care for it NOT AT ALL. It's making me crazy nervous. Also, there are too many guns for this to end well, I'm thinking… Damn you Chekhov and your gun rules!
Jin-pyo calls President Choi to give him the warning: He's due for his judgment, and not from the people but from Jin-pyo. Choi is resigned to his future, and tells the lead bodyguard that he'll be expecting an important guest, who should be led to him politely without being frisked. He asks for time alone and gets it, while Nana peers into the room to check — she didn't take her day off after all.
Jin-pyo arrives and is told the president is waiting for him, and is led inside. Yet when he steps inside the hall, it's Yoon-sung who meets him instead.
Jin-pyo will not be thwarted from his final target and tells Yoon-sung there's nothing for him to do anymore: "You can't stop a revenge 28 years in the making."
Yoon-sung counters that he'll take care of this, leading to a standoff as they stare each other down…and then both grab for their guns. Ohhh, fuck.
Jin-pyo and Yoon-sung pull their guns out at the same time and level them at each other. Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck. This is just like that damned dream, only a hundred times worse 'cause it's REAL.
Yoon-sung: "The cruel revenge that requires me to shoot my biological father — do you think I could carry that out and live well? Having to point a gun at the woman I love — do you think I could do that without a care? Having to fight the father who lost his leg for me — how do you think I'd feel? I wanted you to think just once of me, and stop. I…just want to live an ordinary life…happily with you. But…that was all a dream."
And then he points the gun at his own head.
And for one moment, finally, Jin-pyo looks surprised. Yoon-sung vows: "If this is my fate, then I will end it by my own hand."
Yoon-sung's finger tightens on the trigger…hand shaking…Jin-pyo looking on in shock…
A voice shouts, "No!" It's the president, standing with Nana, who points the gun at Jin-pyo.
Nana tells Jin-pyo to stop, and then pleads with Yoon-sung to lower his gun.
President Choi tells Jin-pyo he's been waiting for him. Jin-pyo returns, "I've come for that life I promised to take."
President Choi tells Nana he's sorry, then shoves her out of his way. He closes his eyes, having accepted his fate, and awaits Jin-pyo's bullet.
Jin-pyo turns his gun from Yoon-sung to President Choi — and there Yoon-sung is, with the choice to let one of his fathers die. He can let Jin-pyo shoot Choi, or shoot Jin-pyo first.
But no, he's got to be a goddamned hero, because he jumps in front of Choi instead — and takes the bullet through the heart.
Nana recovers her bearings, turns to see Yoon-sung shot, and shoots Jin-pyo.
HOLY SHIT. They're going all Hamlet on us. Blood, blood, everywhere. It happens so quickly that it's almost over before anyone's fully taken in what's happened.
The bodyguards rush in and escort a thunderstruck President Choi away, while Yoon-sung collapses to the ground, wheezing in pain. Nana rushes to his side.
Jin-pyo is bloody and badly injured but still able to hold his gun up. Ordering the bodyguards surrounding them to stay still, he points his gun at Yoon-sung on the ground.
With effort, Jin-pyo addresses the room (not unlike Young-ju in his dying moments as he declares himself):
Jin-pyo: "I am the sole survivor of 1983's Operation Clean Sweep, Lee Jin-pyo. To avenge my comrades who were betrayed by our country, I killed Lee Kyung-wan and Chun Jae-man with my own hands, dropped Kim Jong-shik from the overpass, and sent Seo Yong-hak to the prosecutors. Now I will kill the last, President Choi Eung-chan. I am the City Hunter."
Oh god, he's taking the fall for his son. He's exchanging their lives, and now he drops the clip out of his gun. He whirls to face the bodyguards with an impotent gun, and they fire away reflexively.
Jin-pyo is hit with several bullets and collapses slowly, with Yoon-sung watching in horror, too injured to do anything but lie there in pain.
Yoon-sung reaches out his arm toward his fallen father, and with difficulty, father and son inch their fingers toward each other until they can clasp their hands together, both lying amid their own blood.
Oh god oh god. This is just like Yoon-sung's nightmare, except waaay worse. At least his Nana fears were realized happily when they reached toward each other with his blood infusing hers, but this time it's a literal death-dream come true.
Heartbreakingly, Jin-pyo looks at Yoon-sung with a faint smile.
And then, we rejoin our characters an unspecified time later.
Da-hae works in a small cafe — perhaps one she runs, or at least manages. Nana visits her, her usual upbeat attitude in place although her father has recently passed away.
Ki-joon and Eun-ah are finally an official couple, and come bearing wedding invitations. Eun-ah complains that the Blue House is a lot less interesting now that Nana has quit and Yoon-sung is "gone" (deliberately vague to keep us on the edge of our seats).
At Yoon-sung's apartment, a wreath of flowers has been sent by now-former President Choi Eung-chan, wishing someone a healthy and happy recovery. They're for Mom, telling her that he's thankful and sorry, and that he wishes her happiness. Kyung-hee and Shik-joong have packed their bags and are ready to embark on new lives in the U.S.
Nana walks through the airport with her own packed suitcase in tow. Spotting a familiar silhouette in the distance, she hurries toward it — but to her disappointment, she doesn't see him.
But the camera whirls around, revealing Yoon-sung standing behind her, alive and well after all. Not that we doubted. But still! Phew, relief. You can start breathing again.
She turns around and sees him…she smiles…and he smiles.
At the military cemetery, a large memorial has been erected to honor the memories of the 21 valiant soldiers who died for their country, the first two names being Lee Jin-pyo and Park Mu-yeol.
And later, Yoon-sung drives along in the night.
What a satisfying way to wrap up this story arc, yet leave the story open-ended enough that we can imagine Yoon-sung continuing on to become the City Hunter for hire that characterized the original manga story. Even if we never get more of this City Hunter, the setup works in creating an origin story with its own, complete wrap-up that still points to more in Yoon-sung's life in the road ahead, whether or not we get to see it unfold onscreen. (Although, we really should see it unfold onscreen. Really.)
I think the idea of Jin-pyo's death was pretty much a possibility from Day 1, so it's not a surprise. But what it did was achieve a lovely sense of closure for this story, and while I think Jin-pyo wouldn't have given up his quest for the fifth target on his own — I don't really think he got to acceptance or forgiveness — if pushed to choose between that and saving Yoon-sung, he had no qualms in making his choice. *Tear*
The cruel irony of the sacrifice is that Yoon-sung now knows that Dad did love him after all, but it needed Dad's sacrifice to prove it. And Jin-pyo gives not only his life to Yoon-sung but takes the blame, so that Yoon-sung could in fact have a happy life after all this darkness and revenge. That's been the big question all series long, hasn't it? Not whether City Hunter would survive, but how he would be able to live as a normal person as he so desperately wanted. And until ten minutes before the end, there didn't seem to be much hope of that for him. It's a pretty damn satisfying resolution, in my book.
As I said in the podcast, this drama isn't perfect, and it has plenty of flaws along the way. But it had a special magic about the way it stirred my emotions, got me invested in these characters, kept me on the edge of my seat, and surprised me at multiple turns. It's beautiful to look at, scored with music that fit every mood, and boasts a gorgeous melancholy ambiance; it would have made me a fan even before we got to the tight plot. (It wasn't airtight, but it was well-thought-out and developed well.) But then you add in heaps of thematic and emotional resonance to the mix, and you've basically owned me for the past two months.
Not a perfect finale or a perfect show by any means, but damn was it gripping all the way till the end. I love that the final episode's central conflict was the showdown between Jin-pyo and Yoon-sung. To me that was always the heart of the show — the father-son relationship that was so fraught with pain and misplaced love. It was the central love story to me, above Yoon-sung's relationship with Nana.
One thing I absolutely love about this show's treatment of the paternal conflict is that Jin-pyo IS the real dad, in the only way that matters. The fact that the president is the biological father does not somehow transfer nineteen episodes of daddy-angst onto someone new because of blood. Yoon-sung remains, from beginning to end, Jin-pyo's son. Not by blood, obligation, or anything else but unconditional love. And Jin-pyo's sacrifice in the end proves that Yoon-sung's love for Dad wasn't unrequited. Finally, a story that acknowledges that blood is NOT the end all be all! Welcome to kdramaland!
Jin-pyo was the most tragic character in this drama, and I knew from the start he would never survive. (A character that extreme can only end in epic death; it's like a law of the universe.) But no matter how totally screwed up his worldview was, his all-too-late realization that Yoon-sung was the only thing that mattered, and his final resting place alongside Mu-yeol as a soldier finally put his vengeance to rest and his soul at peace in a satisfying way.
I'm good with the open-ended relationship with Nana (and prefer it in fact to a candy-coated version), because no matter which way you slice it, their relationship will always be an open-ended one. I would've liked more interaction, more words, more time, even if the end result were just as open-ended. But I got the sense that it was a casualty of the live-shoot, which is too bad.
As a series, City Hunter gave me that perfect combination of action and heart – what began as a quest to avenge a death became a young man's journey to becoming a hero. It tapped into the core of what I love about hero fiction, in illustrating the cost of being an idealist in a corrupt world.
That's why the death of Young-ju is so fitting in an ideological sense, because he was the most upright defender of justice, who paid the gravest price. To me that death is what seals Yoon-sung's fate as the City Hunter. What came before are the stirrings of a hero; in taking up the mantle after Young-ju's death, he becomes the hero both men were meant to be.
My biggest disappointment with the finale is the drama's failure to nail this in a concrete way onscreen, at the end. It's there thematically, and Young-ju's death resonates with all the characters, but if I were writing this show, the last scene would've been Yoon-sung at Young-ju's grave, overlooking the city he's sworn to protect.
No words necessary; just that image alone would've satisfied the promise of the City Hunter's future, spurred by the sacrifice of his brother in arms, the perfect mirror to the opening brotherhood between Jin-pyo and Mu-yeol, also separated by death. The moment was there in his death in Episode 19, and their relationship is the perfect bookend, but that tiny push of thematic resonance and closure would've been my ideal send-off for the City Hunter.
I loved City Hunter for a million reasons, but the biggest is this: it gets me right there, that place in my heart where my six-year old self refuses to give up on the idea that heroes fight evil and good prevails. It ran the gamut from hilarious and cheeky to kickass and epic, and though the finale's delivery wasn't pitch-perfect, as a whole the show swept me up in its world and made me want to live there.

Albert Gonzalez, who has admitted hacking into TJX and other companies, has filed a plea agreement in charges that he breached Heartland Payment Systems, Hannaford, 7-Eleven and two other companies.
Under the terms of the agreement, Gonzalez, a former Secret Service informant, will plead guilty to two counts of conspiracy to gain unauthorized access to computers, and to commit wire fraud. Prosecutors have agreed to seek a sentence of no more than 25 years, to run concurrent with his sentence in two other pending cases. Gonzalez had agreed to ask the court for no less than 17 years in prison.
Gonzalez is currently facing a sentence of between 15 and 25 years in two combined cases out of Massachusetts and New York, involving the hacks of TJX and Dave & Buster's restaurants. The New Jersey agreement would add two years to the minimum time he could seek.
Gonzalez, 28, was indicted in August in New Jersey — along with two unnamed Russian conspirators — on charges of hacking into Heartland, the New Jersey-based card processing company, as well as Hannaford Brothers, 7-Eleven and two unnamed national retailers.
According to the plea agreement, between October 2006 and May 2008 Gonzalez and an associate identified as "P.T." — possibly indicted TJX co-conspirator Damon Patrick Toey — picked out hacking targets from a list of Fortune 500 companies, and then did reconnaissance to determine the payment-processing systems they used and uncover vulnerabilities. Gonzalez leased and controlled servers in Latvia, Ukraine and the Netherlands to store malware, launch the attacks against the networks and receive the stolen numbers.
Using a SQL-injection attack, the two Russian hackers allegedly broke into the 7-Eleven network in August 2007 through the company's website, then routed their way to a server connected to the stores' ATMs, resulting in the theft of an undetermined amount of card data. They allegedly used the same kind of attack to infiltrate Hannaford Brothers in November 2007, resulting in 4.2 million stolen debit and credit card numbers; and into Heartland on Dec. 26, 2007. Of the two unnamed national retailers mentioned in the affidavit, one was breached on Oct. 23, 2007, and the other sometime around January 2008.
Once on the networks, the hackers installed back doors to provide them with continued access at later dates. According to authorities, the hackers tested their malware against some 20 different antivirus programs to make sure they wouldn't be detected, and also programmed the malware to erase evidence from the hacked networks to avoid forensic detection.
Although documents in the New Jersey case don't identify the two Russians, a sentencing memo filed in the TJX case in Massachusetts last week revealed the online nicknames of the two hackers to be "Grigg" and "Annex." Parts of the memo discussing the two Russian hackers were redacted, but the redaction was done poorly and Threat Level was able to uncover the concealed portions.
According to the memo, Gonzalez described for prosecutors how "Grigg" and "Annex" hacked into Hannaford Brothers through a vulnerability in the computer systems of Hannaford's parent company Delhaize. He gave prosecutors the information in late 2008, nine months before he was indicted in New Jersey on charges that he and the two Russians breached Hannaford.
Gonzalez is scheduled to enter his plea at a hearing in the New Jersey case on Dec. 29, after which a date will be set for his sentencing. He's scheduled to be sentenced in the TJX and Dave & Buster's cases in March. That sentencing was originally scheduled for Dec. 21, but as Threat Level previously reported, it was delayed after Gonzalez's attorney filed a psychiatric evaluation with the court indicating that Gonzalez suffered from symptoms consistent with Asperger's Disorder.
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Patti Saris rejected a request from prosecutors to obtain their own psychiatric evaluation of Gonzalez, but said she'd reexamine the issue once the government's psychiatric expert offers specifics on the "needed areas of inquiry."

Apple WWDC 2013 takes place June 10-14 in San Francisco
Apple has confirmed that its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) will take place June 10-14th at Moscone West in San Francisco. During yesterday's Q2 2013 Apple earnings call, Tim Cook made sure to set expectations by indicating that the company looks forward to releasing new hardware, software, and services this fall, and throughout 2014. In other words, don't expect any new iPhone or iPad to be announced at the summer blockbuster event. That said, Phil Shiller says that its "developers have had the most prolific and profitable year ever, and we're excited to show them the latest advances in software technologies and developer tools to help them create innovative new apps," adding, "we can't wait to get new versions of iOS and OS X into their hands at WWDC." So there you have it--WWDC will see the unveiling of Mac OS X 10.9, and iOS 7, both of which should be made available to developers on June 10 in preview form. Tickets for WWDC go on sale tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM PDT.

In other action:
At its Tuesday meeting, the Moffat County Commission:
• Awarded a bid to Jerry Thompson to lease lands near Loudy-Simpson Park to grow wheat. Thompson submitted the only bid. His lease is for six years, and he is required to pay the county one-third of his annual profits from farming the land.
• Approved a new contract with Lefever Building Systems, which is the project manager for a new Road and Bridge Department vehicle barn. The county will pay the company 1.6 percent of the total construction project cost to cover performance and construction bond fees. Construction costs are not yet known. The county's insurance company, County Technical Services, Inc., will pay all costs.
• Tabled a resolution to adopt the 2003 International Energy Conservation Code, a building code for energy efficiency standards. The state Legislature requires all counties with building codes adopt the Energy Conservation Code by July 1.
Craig Moffat County Commissioner Tom Gray doesn't want to put unnecessary burdens on people, he said.
Requiring builders to hire an engineer to design a foundation for nearly every new structure in the county - a measure the Commission approved 2-1 on Tuesday - is unnecessary, Gray said.
Before, engineers were called when ground soil tests show potential danger to a structure's stability.
Officials and audience members estimated hiring an engineer for foundation design could cost about $800 to $1,000.
Despite Gray's protests, the Commission approved updating the county building codes from the 2000 versions to the 2006 revisions, which included an engineered foundation requirement.
Commissioner Tom Mathers said the update was required by the state.
Gray said it's an ongoing problem that updating codes always seems to lead to more regulations.
"Every time we change codes, it's more strict, more obstructive, more onerous," Gray said. "Never does a code take something away."
When it comes to structures built on stable ground, ones that might not warrant engineered foundation fixes to be structurally secure, it adds unreasonable costs, he said.
"We're adding costs. We're adding layers," Gray said. "That bothers me."
Local builder Nick Charchalis, owner of local Kozy Homes, Inc., however, said he supported the move.
"Counties don't get sued," he said. "Builders get sued. You can do a soils test and it'll check out that the soils are good, but then something happens, like a crack in a wall, and any builder or subcontractor that was involved in that is liable."
Requiring an engineer's approval on building foundations makes it less likely there will be structural problems later, Charchalis said.
Certain building types are exempt, such as residential structures not intended for living space, such as garages, residential additions 200 square feet in size or less or seasonal homes. Some commercial utility and storage buildings also are exempt.
Gray said he did not want to legislate someone's ability to build on their land, whether engineered foundations were structurally better or not.
"There's a certain amount of personal responsibility, too," he said.
Mathers said that was a good point, but questioned how to draw the line between landowners building for themselves and professional contractors building for the market.
"If you want to go out and build your own house, that's one thing," Mathers said. "But, if we have a developer come in here and build all sorts of houses, we should do what we can to make sure those are safe."
Gray remained unconvinced.
"I think we're becoming part of the problem," he said.
Airport not a sure thing
With funding mostly secure for renovations at the Moffat County Regional Airport, all that's left is to award project bids.
And that's where hang-ups remain.
Officials plan to install a new manufactured terminal building to replace the old terminal and repave the parking lot. Plans are to complete both projects this year, but one or both may be delayed until 2009.
Bids received for the proposed terminal construction project came in over budget, prompting the Commission to table its approval until its June 9 meeting.
In total, between grants, city and county funds, officials have $178,625 to spend on the terminal. Airport Manager Jerry Hoberg said there could be another $10,000 for the project through the airport's own funds.
Engineers from Armstrong Consultants, of Grand Junction, were hired to prepare estimates for the projects before seeking bids. They tabbed the terminal for $182,500 in construction costs.
However, the lowest bid received Tuesday from Craig-based Domson Excavation and Trucking totaled $249,150, about $50,000 more than available funding.
Ryan Pritchett, Armstrong Consultants client services manager, said more funds might be possible through subsequent grants since all bids were higher than initial estimates.
Two bids for asphalt to repave the airport parking lot, however, were within the project's budgeted scope.
Elam Construction submitted the low bid of $78,852, but the Commission tabled approving that contract until next week.
The parking lot project is funded through a Colorado Department of Local Affairs grant totaling $92,673.
Hoberg said he would prefer to go ahead and do the parking lot this year, even if that means completing the parking lot before the terminal.
"I don't want to lose out on doing that parking lot," he said. "Not at these prices."

Change consolle resolution
Hi to all.
I'm trying to change the framebuffer resolution on OpenBSD 4.4, I've applied this http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.c...scfg&sektion=8 http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.c...penBSD+Current but the font loaded make terminal hard to read and unusable. Any suggestion?Thanks. |
Monitor is a nice 19". Is a sin to renounce at a more high resolution. Therefore the problem is seamless?
unixbsd, In the past I've tried the 80x50 OpenBSD text console, and I feel your pain. I think the basic problem results from the limiations of plain vanilla VGA. At best you have 640x480 screen resolution. So if you want, say, 50 lines on the screen, you have 480/50 = about 9 pixels per char vertically. If you want 128 columns, you have 640/128 = 5 pixels per char horizontal. 9x5 just isn't enough resolution to draw a nice looking character set.
If it is important, more flexibility for this kind of feature is offered by other OS's, even within the BSD family. |
yes, I know, I use FreeBSD too with VESA option's on kernel, but I'm wondering why on OpenBSD this feature is completely unusable and if there's the possibility of improve them.
I'm no expert, but suspect that there aren't enough resources available to make this a priority. In other words, the developers are busy working on the really important stuff and have not enough time for something that is is closer to the cosmetic end of things. Unfortunate reality I guess, and for many this is probably not important, depending on how they use it.
The method used to load a 80x50 font does not use a VESA VBE framebuffer, in fact.. unless you set this mode, OpenBSD doesn't play with VGA mode settings at all.
Both FreeBSD and NetBSD have framebuffer consoles available now, but it is not a priority within the OpenBSD community.. this doesn't mean to say no code exists in the tree yet, because some does.. but it's not ready for public consumption. If the 80x50 mode does not look adequate on your monitor, use the default.. if even that isn't acceptable.. it might be worth considering Xorg+xterm and a readable font. |
Thanks to all.

The U.S. Postal Service is releasing two new stamps paying tribute to the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, specifically the Battle of New Orleans and the Battle of Antietam.
The "Civil War: 1862" stamps were released Tuesday. The stamps mark the first significant achievement of the U.S. Navy in the war during the Battle of New Orleans and the bloodiest day of the conflict at Antietam.
The New Orleans stamp is a reproduction of an 1862 color lithograph titled "The Splendid Naval Triumph on the Mississippi, April 24th, 1862." The Antietam stamp is a reproduction of an 1887 painting by Thure de Thulstrup.
Postal Service Vice President Dean Granholm says the stamps help Americans pause and remember a period of history that had a lasting effect on the nation.

Feature: Contest WinnersBite-SizeThe Alibi's Ridiculously Short Fiction ContestWe live in a lazy sound-bite culture. With each passing year, Americans demand that their lives become a little bit faster, a little bit simpler, a little bit easier. Jello Biafra once said, "Give me convenience or give me death," and this really is our new sacred patriotic creed. It's central to every aspect of our hurly-burly, Internet-and-latte lives, even here in slow, laid-back New Mexico. Wouldn't Patrick Henry be proud? The idea behind our Ridiculously Short Fiction Contest, though, isn't to create a forum for fast and easy fiction. As contestant after contestant pointed out, few literary challenges are as difficult as attempting to shoehorn a good solid story into 100 words or less. These writers sweated. They lost sleep. They tore their hair out of their scalps in bloody clumps. They resorted to illegal substances. All in the service of the dark jealous god of literature. A panel of judges made up of Alibi Food Editor Gwyneth Doland, Alibi Copy Editor Stephanie Garcia and yours truly dug deep into this mountain of words and came up with quite a few sparkling gems that I'm sure you will enjoy. First Place goes to Winnie Devlin for a tiny cultic ode that somehow managed to both creep us out and break our little hearts. For her efforts, Devlin will receive a free one-hour massage from the master, John Wolfe at Knot Works (8220 La Mirada NE, Suite 100, Albuquerque, NM 87111, 489-2788). She'll also get a $25 gift certificate to Bookworks (4022 Rio Grande NW, 344-8139), one of our favorite independent bookstores in Albuquerque, along with a nifty Alibi T-shirt. Second Place is bestowed on Shaun T. Glenn for "Red Arroyo," a pleasingly cryptic tale that all of us loved simply to death. Glenn will receive a signed copy of Helen Fielding's latest novel, Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination, also donated by Bookworks, along with $40 worth of gift certificates to Ned's Downtown (407 Central NW, 243-0364), an Alibi T-shirt and a snack-size packet of Planters® Seasonuts Heat Peanuts. Yum! Third Place splats with a wet thwack against the cheek of Jan Marie Baca for her story "Flat Black" about a woman who literally goes postal. For her efforts, Baca will receive $60 worth of gift certificates to the Monte Vista Fire Station (3201 Central NE, 255-2424) along with an Alibi T-shirt and a plastic kitty "Grow a Pet"—made in China! Extra special thanks to all our sponsors, and congratulations to the winners and all the honorable mentions. To those who didn't quite make the cut: Please, don't whine.

Average Life Span02/18/2009 |
Patient has metastized liver cancer from original colon cancer. What is average life span? Cancer in liver has spread fairly rapidly.
This is a hard question to answer and depends on a lot of things. Most important factor is how the cancer responded to chemotherapy.
Other important factors to weigh in is the time from the initial cancer in the colon to the time disease was found in the liver. Other things are: amount of tumor burden in the liver; was the disease removed first time, is the disease elsewhere besides the liver. As you can see, without much more information, no one can answer this question accurately for you.
If you tell me that the disease has not shown much response to chemo, and nothing tried has helped, life span may be predicated by the amount of tumor in the liver, helping to cause liver failure. I am afraid that is the best I can do based upon the information provided.

Norman Smith: Immigration plans about message not money
29 July 2014 Last updated at 09:59 BST
David Cameron has set out a number of changes designed to ensure that EU migrants in the UK are not taking advantage of the benefits on offer.
Changes include cutting the length of time people from other EU countries can claim a series of benefits in the UK from six months to three months if they cannot show they have a "realistic chance" of finding a job.
No figures have been released on how many people would be hit by these changes and, as the BBC News Channel's chief political correspondent Norman Smith says, the announcement is more about "sending a message than saving money".

TRENDING NOW: Salary
Atlanta, Georgia -
In our careers most people are looking for many things - perhaps top among them, success and money.
But what do workers really want and how much do they need to earn to feel successful?
The magic number is a salary of $75,000 - that is the amount most workers say they'd need to be paid to be content with their pay.
Most of us right now - well, we aren't happy with our salary.
A new national survey by career website "CareerBuilder" found that 65 percent of full time workers say they don't earn the salary they'd like.
The sweet spot - the survey found, is right at a minimum of $75,000 or higher.
But interestingly enough, money doesn't buy the feeling of success.
The study also found that over half of workers said they can feel successful without hitting that $75,000 salary range.
Analysts say this is a healthy approach - as many workers, while they'd like to earn more - understand that work is more than a paycheck - it's also about giving meaning to our lives.

February 1, 2013
As 2013 begins the national debate on gun control is in high gear. Advocates from all sides have descended on Washington, DC to sway a divided Congress to their side. But the action isn't limited to the halls of Congress; the persistent issue of gun control is also being debated in local communities across the country. And for communities historically battered by gun violence, the conversation takes on an increased intensity.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
When someone says what Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling allegedly has about black people they should be called on it.
But why does it take Sterling to get the Reverend Jesse Jackson involved in the NBA? After all, if Jackson truly cared about the impact the NBA had on society in general and the black community in particular, he would have enough to discuss on an almost daily basis.
NBA players routinely get busted for not paying child support, arrested for gun possession, and quickly go broke soon after retiring. Some former stars, like Erik Williams, are homeless. And some make the headlines for abusing their girlfriends. Hell, Jason Kidd, now the coach of the Brooklyn Nets, once even punched his wife in the mouth. And Kobe Bryant was fined by the league for a gay slur.
But you never heard a peep out of Jackson when any of that stuff went down.
That is because Sterling is easy for Jackson to smack around. His alleged comments are unconscionable and he is an old white guy with a long history of saying stupid things. It requires no courage to lob hand grenades at Sterling.
But dealing with young black men on more sensitive and difficult issues is not as easy. It requires real work and courage. So Jackson skips out. Too bad, because that is where some guidance by Jackson could help the most.

Have you ever been in a situation where your mentality has been badly affected by observing a ghost who succeeds in some area by using methods that you find dishonorable and shameless?

The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscle to the heel bone. The calf muscle is actually two muscles, the gastrocnemius muscle and the soleus muscle. The soleus lies underneath the gastrocnemius.
The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the body. It allows you to rise up on your toes and push off while walking or running.

I've been doing HIIT type cardio 3 times a week on my off days from lifting. I do my cardio on the eliptical and do 2mins hard and 1min light. I do a 2 minute warmup, then 20-25 mins of HIIT, followed by a cooldown. The machines have its own interval settings which are 2min low incline and resistance, 2min higher incline and resistance so I get overlapping variety.
The problem is my heartrate is reaching 180bpm which I feel is too high. When it gets up there I take an extended short intesity break until it comes down to around 160, usually twice per session.
I am not getting really winded when it reaches this high and I actually feel like I could go harder even though I'm dripping sweat by this point.
Could the machines reading just be off? I've tried multiple different machines and get the same readings. Should I not worry and eventually it will come down on its own as I condition myself better?
My main concern is burning muscle even though its a lifting off day.

Cardio heart rate too high? 180bpm.
Ignore the HRM, let your body tell you when your heart rate is to high.
On my Thursday night hilly group bike ride I look down on some of the longer hills when I'm trying to hang on to the group doing 20+mph up hill and have seen mine as high as 203.
Trust me, you'll stop pushing long before your heart explodes.
And if you are concerned about burning muscle, there are a couple ways to avoid this.
Do more zone 1 or 2 cardio meaning lighter cardio for longer periods of time if it will work into your schedule. This will burn more fat and spare carbs/protein. Think of the human body as having two cardio fuel tanks. One has fat in it with 60,000 to 100,000 kcal's of storage space. The other has carbs in it with (I forget the number of kcal's of storage) I think it's 2,000kcal roughly. Fat is burnt for fuel when the demand is lower and the metabolism doesn't have to happen in a hurry. When the engine is turned up and the demand to fuel those muscles is more critical, the body resorts to burning carbs which are metabolized much quicker for the needed energy demand. Once the carb store is burnt up, that is when the body starts to look for other sources to fuel the fire, and protein/muscle is next in line.
So, if you are on the HIIT band wagon, or longer cardio sessions just don't fit your agenda, you want to be sure you are keeping up with the carb demand that the harder training is going to bring, and thus spare your muscle.
And you really aren't going to deplete your carb stores in 20 minutes of HIIT cardio no matter how hard you are going. It would take closer to 45 minutes to an hour at maximum effort.
Cardio lesson over.

Great answer just what I was looking for. I can fit pretty much anything into my schedule with no problems. My gym is 2 minutes away and I work from home.
Probably going to start doing 20-25mins HIIT followed by another 20 of steady cardio. I love the feeling of completely taxing my body going hard in intervals.

As part of strategic planning, St. Cloud State University's Teaching, Learning and Technology Roundtable (TLTR) met to attempt to organize planning, implementing and funding technology across the university. Part of a nation-wide movement, the TLTR concept encourages input from a wide range of campus and community stakeholders. Members of the TLTR included faculty participants, members of strategic planning committee and staff from academic, student and administrative services. Student participation was encouraged through Student Government meetings and interaction with Student Government President, Christy Hovanetz. (Appendix 1: Teaching, Learning and Technology Roundtable Members contains the list of current members of the TLTR.)
The TLTR will continue to apply the Teaching, Learning and Technology Roundtable model to help university administrators make cost-effective technology decisions that are consistent with a high-quality teaching/learning environment and to provide up-to-date input about technology implementation and integration to meet user needs. This approach will provide a forum to address user needs in the context of rapid technological change.
SCSU's response to the critical issue of communications technology competence was to establish a Teaching, Learning and Technology Roundtable (TLTR). The TLTR concept, which encourages input from a wide range of campus and community stakeholders, was developed by the American Association for Higher Education (AAHE). (See the AAHE webpages for the description of the TLTR project.) Following a MnSCU-sponsored technology conference during which the TLTR concept was introduced to campus participants in 1996, President Bruce Grube established a campus TLTR and charged this group with the development of a University Technology Plan. Faculty participants were appointed by James Pehler, IFO President. His appointments included individuals with the interest and expertise necessary to prepare a dynamic plan. Some members of the Strategic Planning Committee were also appointed by him to provide consistency with the strategic direction of the University. Members representing academic, student, staff and administrative services areas were assigned to the group to assure appropriate input and representation. Student participation was encouraged through Student Government meetings and interaction with Student Government President, Christy Hovanetz.


text: Medical Definition of HurricaneHurricane: A regionally specific name for a strong tropical cyclone. The term hurricane applies in the North Atlantic Ocean, the Northeast Pacific Ocean east of the dateline, or the South Pacific Ocean east of 160E. Other terms for the same type of storm, a strong tropical cyclone, include typhoon (in the Northwest Pacific Ocean west of the dateline), severe tropical cyclone (in the Southwest Pacific Ocean west of 160E or Southeast Indian Ocean east of 90E), severe cyclonic storm (the North Indian Ocean) and tropical cyclone (in Southwest Indian Ocean). The word hurricance is derived from Hurican, the Carib god of evil, who in turn was derived from the Mayan god Hurakan, one of their creator gods, who blew his breath across the Chaotic water and brought forth dry land and later destroyed the men of wood with a great storm and flood.

Living with chronic health issues like Rheumatoid Arthritis is expensive. My article last month focused on how to save money on your prescriptions. This month, with so many people getting ready to enroll in benefits for the next year, I wanted to talk about a great way to save money on EVERY aspect of your health care. It's called an FSA, which stands for Flexible Spending Account. Many businesses offer this benefit to their employees but as many as 46% of employees pass it up. They may not understand exactly how it works or how it can save them money. Once you understand how much an FSA account can save you, you'll be wondering why you haven't used it all along!
What is a Flexible Spending Account (FSA)?
An FSA is an employer offered opportunity to set aside money from your paycheck into a special savings account to use for medical expenses throughout the year. The money is deducted from your paycheck BEFORE income taxes are calculated on your pay. This can reduce your total income tax per year because you're paying for all your medical related expenses with pre-tax dollars.
How does it work?
An FSA is a special "spending account" that lasts for one calendar year. You must spend what you put into it by the end of the year you enroll in it. During the previous year's open enrollment, you decide how much money you want to put aside for the next full year (the limit will be $2,500 in 2013). Let's use $1,200 as an example for the total amount we want to put into our FSA. With each paycheck during the year you elect to use an FSA, an equal portion of your total amount is deducted from your paycheck before taxes. If we use the $1,200 example and you are paid twice a month, $50 comes out of each paycheck (x24 paychecks = $1,200).
As for spending that money, there are usually two options. First, many companies now offer a debit card for ease of use. Some companies still require you to submit your receipts for reimbursement. Regardless of which option your FSA uses, your TOTAL yearly amount that you decide to put into your FSA is available IMMEDIATELY at the first of the year, even though it will take you all year to pay into it. That's right...every dime of it can be used in the very first month if needed without any penalty. So if you have surgery scheduled in January and know you're going to have a $500 deductible for it plus other costs, your FSA account can pay for it all and you still only see that same deduction from your paycheck all year long!
What can I spend my money on?
You may use your FSA money for any "qualifying expense" that is listed by the IRS. Qualifying expenses include just about everything related to your medical care like insurance premiums, co-pays, co-insurance, doctor visits, prescription drugs, durable medical equipment (i.e., wheelchairs, prosthetics, etc), eyeglasses, dental and more. You may also be able to use your FSA for day care for children or dependent adults. Be sure to check the official guide for using your FSA on the IRS website before you spend to avoid any penalties. And always remember to keep your receipts for everything you spend your FSA money on, even if you use an FSA debit card.
How can it save me money?
FSA monies are deducted from your paycheck before taxes. This can add up to huge saving for you. For example, the average household tax bracket is about 25%. If you spend $500 on health related costs after you've paid taxes on it, then you had to earn approximately $675 to have that $500 in hand! But if you put that money directly into an FSA, there is no tax money taken out of it so you only have to earn $500 to spend $500. You essentially save 25% on all your out of pocket health care expenses that you pay for with your FSA account!
What are the limitations?
The only limitation to an FSA is that you have to use whatever money you put aside by the end of the calendar year in which you enrolled. So, it's really important to take a realistic look at all your upcoming yearly health care costs before you decide how much to put aside each year. Sometimes companies will offer an extension to use remaining funds through the 15th of February, but not always, so best to check with your company for details. Plan carefully. Once you enroll, you can't change your savings amount unless you have a qualifying event like getting married, divorced or having a child.
What happens if I leave my company?
If you leave your company, whether through lay-offs, moving to disability or getting fired, and have already spent more money than has been deducted from your paycheck, the money is yours to keep. If you haven't spent all your money, the FSA is usually covered by COBRA laws (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act) and you can decide if you want to keep the account open and continue paying into it after you have left the company.
Setting up a Flexible Spending Account can be an easy way to save extra money on annual health care expenses for you and your family. With open enrollment dates coming up for the new year, now is the time to take advantage of this cost saver. Check with your employer's human resources department to find out if your company offers it as part of their benefit package.

MN Graduation Rate Highest in 10 Years
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Department of Education says the graduation rate for Minnesota high school students is the highest it's been in a decade.
According to new data released Wednesday, about 79 percent of Minnesota students graduated in 2013, up from 75 percent in 2010. Last year, black and Hispanic students had the biggest year-to-year increase, although they still lag behind white students.
Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius says while more work needs to be done, the new graduation rates suggest the state will be able to meet its goal of cutting the achievement gap between white and minority students in half by 2017.
Cassellius attributes the statewide improvement to a couple of factors, including Minnesota's waiver from No Child Left Behind which was granted in early 2012.

Yea, I've only been using 60 grit and 120 grit. I'm gonna go to Lowes and widen my selection a bit tommorrow. The reason I don't like it is cause I was impatient. Instead of waiting untill I had time to go pick up some q-cell to do the repair I went ahead and filled it in with just straight resin. Its water tight, but the resin is clear so you can clearly still see the ding. It's just laminated. I also plan on swinging by West Marine tommorow and picking up some white epoxy dye for the hotcoat. I'm hoping that helps.
Another thing I don't like is that I did not use masking tape so the repair is not squared off and is taking up more space then it needs to (other thing that I plan on picking up tommorrow). Any more insight or tips would be awesome here guys?? I've posted this same thread on a few other surf forums and am really liking the feedback from everyone. I'm no good at this stuff, but Im trying to get better with your help!!!Last edited by idsmashh; Jun 25, 2012 at 02:21 AM.

West Marine has pigment... and a little goes a long way. If you use too much, you'll end up with a rubbery hotcoat that won't ever get hard enough to sand properly. If you use too little, you'll see the discoloration right through it. You want it to match the color of the surrounding area. So... mix your resin and hardener by the appropriate ratio, then add a TINY bit of pigment. Mix well, paint on a THIN layer, and see what it looks like. If it looks too white, you added too much pigment and you need to start over. If it matches, you're good. If it's not opaque enough to mask enough of the discoloration, wipe it off, add another TINY amount of pigment, and test it again. Test it out and keep going until you're happy with the result. But remember, you're going to be sanding most of it off. The purpose of the hotcoat is to fill the weave of the lamination, and give you something to fair out ("feather") into the surrounding area.
Mistakes are not always a bad thing. But even YOU should be able to distinguish between a mistake and a STUPID mistake. Stupid mistakes are things like not reading the label of a product, not following directions, not following advice from somebody who knows... you know, stuff like that.
totally forgot- masking out the area really helps! lol but note that you can 'chip' off any resin that got splattered/or ran onto any part of your board that was not pre-sanded. any resin /epoxy that is on your original glass job, that you didn't sand the surface before hand, you can chip it off with a knife or something.
Also, from experience, like someone else mentioned... if you use qcell it will probably end up being ultra white compared to your board... sometimes I like the look of the clear epoxy over qcell. qcell only really helps with weight issues- and more of a paste to work with.Last edited by walkingonh2o; Jun 25, 2012 at 01:53 PM.
