In recent times with his Heavy Magic Soulfilled Sound Machine, Will proceeded to up the anti in a whole new
area of the art world, by designing and building arguably the finest, and certainly the most "over the top" guitar amplifier and speaker cabinet combination ever seen.
Visit featured editorial in Guitar Aficionado online.
In the past Heavy Magic's creations have gained wide respect, being an integral part of some of the custom motorcycling world's finest show winning bikes. His works have been featured on The Discovery Channel's "
Great Biker Build-Off, in the Prestigious Rob Report Collections magazine -along with numerous Leading Chopper Magazines.

advertising for Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann's band Trichromes.
His Graphic Art has been published in several premiere magazines in including:
• CHURN art magazine
• Magical Blend
• Lapis
• RELIX music magazine
-what does this mean?
In short, it is the name I coined for a special place I like to be.
It's a higher level, a landscape past the limits, a place you experience when unchained, a place you truly want to be.
It's the moment in time where you are prepared but beyond your personal limit, where your "all in", and all the stars Aline.
It's a game changing moment, when your allowed to transcend all belief, and move into a new area, and a new level best. It's beautiful,
it's empowering, it comes with the gift of a new understanding of the possibilities, and this in turn spills over enriching your life as a whole.
For myself, it's a place, an experience I had long ago that took me to a higher personal level of the senses, one more beautiful than I had ever felt. It was a true feeling on a subconscious level, of being one with the Cosmos. I was so moved by this experience, that I began to think about obsessively, how it happened, how it was created, and how I could make it myself.
I called it "Heavy Magic", because that was the only words I could think of to describe it to anybody.
It was Magic and it was Heavy.
Once I figured out how to get there myself, I began to use the method as a way of reaching beyond my best.
For me, "it is the key." it holds all I believe in, it speaks for me from my heart, through my actions, and from my hands.
It is good magic, it is positive vibe, It is the spirit of the next level.

We have clients who max out Excel but see solutions like Access, SAP and Oracle BI too complex for their everyday tasks. Databases and customized applications are created but abandoned when the main person who uses them moves to another role.
With this in mind we began to explore Business Intelligence tools that could help streamline workflow and provide support to businesses seeking the best insights.
But getting there is a challenge.

At the age of four, Ahmed I. Nasser's parents decided that the best way to keep a hyperactive child occupied was to teach him how to read and constantly bombard him with books. Since then, the world of imagination has constantly consumed him. He quickly decided that the only way to feel fulfilled was to spend his time writing one story after the other, even opting out of a career as a pediatrician, despite ten years of struggling through med-school.
Influenced by Stephen King, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, he has been writing since the age of 12 while travelling the world with his family. Now, finally settled in Egypt, he divides his time between teaching Middle School English Literature and finding the best ways to scare his family and friends.

Now it's back for more.

But one can only escape from his sins for so long. Occasional nightmares, visions of the dead and a priest hell-bound on confessions leave the survivors feeling that it is only a matter of time before the darkness catches up.

Predictably silly, too tight, July 30, 2014
Posted By: JohnG
This is a funny item, obviously. (My wife and I definitely have a sense of humor about our intimacy.) This is one of the better comic things for men to wear, but note that when you are at all excited, the chicken's "neck" may prove too small, and the whole thing may pull away from you. The back part is ridiculously thin "butt floss" elastic. It's inexpensive, and fine on its own terms.

Re: Help on Wm. Edward Prickett
In reply to:
Help on Wm. Edward Prickett
Vicki Gentry 4/04/06
Vicki, I'm a hobbyist and not an expert, but here are a couple of things I found online, and a couple of suggestions on further research:
He is listed in the National Archives WWII Honor List of Dead and Missing Army and Army Air Forces Personnel as Prickett, Edward W., serial number 14069560, Private, DNB (which is Died, Non-Battle, meaning he was not killed in action or by wounds received in action but, rather, died from some other cause, probably accident or sickness). The first digit in his serial number being a 1 indicates he joined the service, rather than being drafted.
He is listed in the Archives enlistment records. There it says he joined 8 January 1942, and it lists his branch of service as Air Corps. It says he had four years of high school, was a salesman in civilian life, and marital status at the time of enlistment was single without dependants.
You may be able to get his personnel record through the NPRC in St. Louis. (They had a disastrous fire in 1973 which destroyed many records, but it is worth a try.) Info on that resource can be found at this web page:
You can also send for his Individual Deceased Personnel File (IDPF). As others in this forum have addressed, the info found in an IDPF can be graphic. If you pursue this resource, you should be prepared for that possibility. Send your request to:
US Total Army Personnel Command
200 Stovall Street
Alexandria, VA 22332-0404
Be sure to cite the Freedom of Information Act in your request.
I believe an IDPF would have been generated even though he was not killed in action, but I am not sure. Perhaps someone with more expertise can give us instruction in that regard, or further elaborate as appropriate.

This treadmill takes off pounds instantly
When you injure your lower body- even if you just have pain- getting in a workout can be impossible.
But a local physcial therapy center has found a way around this problem, that will have you walking- sort of- on air.
One treadmill at Advanced Physcial Therapy in Grand Blanc takes the weight off- instantly.
"You can take up to 80-percent of your weight off your feet with the NASA technology of the air pressure chamber," says Physcial Therapist Kim Turner, co-owner of the clinic.
The AlterG Antigravity Treadmill reduces gravity's impact on your weight, so you can still work the muscles and heal more quickly. It works for all sorts of injuries, chronic pain, and arthritis.
If someone has joint pain, it's very hard to get the muscles to strengthen up, and our muscles are what gives us our cushioning, our shock absorption," Kim says, "so if we can build the muscles around the joints, the joints won't hurt as much."
Here is how it works. You slip on compression shorts, then you're zipped into the treadmill's air chamber. It weighs you. Then you choose working at anywhere from 20 to 100 percent of your body weight. The chamber fills with air, and you start moving.
"It is good for anyone who has pain in their legs but are trying to get stronger and get their muscles moving.," Kim says.
There are three cameras pointed at the treadmill, which allows patients and therapists to watch each step, to see how the feet land on the treadmill, from different angles.
"We can see how much weight they can actually put on each foot and that tells us they're comfortable, they can get at least as much weight on the injured foot, as well as the non injured," Kim says.
The treadmill is also ideal for runners or race walkers, like Wanda Merrell, who uses the treadmill twice a week.
"You're lighter and you can see your feet. And you are doing your steps, but the weight is not there," Wanda says.
Surgery for a broken hip side-lined the 36-time Crim finisher. Physcial therapy and the treadmill allow her to keep up her training, while she heals.
"I can walk, but I feel it right in the front and the hip," Wanda says, "but it's not three months yet, since my surgery. "
Wanda plans to inch back back to the bricks for her 37th 10 mile crim finisher medal in August, "I'm doing great, um, I can walk up to a mile."
You do not have to be a patient at Advanced Physical Therapy to work in the anti-gravity treadmill. They offer paid-as-you-go sessions as well. Just visit their website.

LEWISTON, N.Y. – Police in western New York said two Canadian men attended a church festival and wound up in the woods drunk, naked and covered in mud. State police said troopers found a 22-year-old man from Hamilton, Ontario sitting along a road in the town of Lewiston, just outside Niagara Falls, around 5:45 a.m. Sunday.
Troopers said he was caked in mud. After questioning him, troopers found a 23-year-old man from Hamilton covered in mud and passed out in a ditch nearby.
Police said both men were highly intoxicated.
Troopers say the men had attended the St. John de LaSalle Carnival on Saturday and afterward decided to make it a "Woodstock event" by dancing naked in the woods. Both men were taken to a local hospital where they were treated and released.
Neither man was charged.

Sunset and options. Doc Miles Photography
December 07, 2012 • Leave a Comment
Ok. So I live in The Golden Gate National Park and can see the sunset from home. If it looks good, I grab my gear and head out. I never know what I will get. Today, I was lazy and went to a "go to place" I walk by every day. I really wanted to shoot the Golden Gate Bridge, but was so taken by the sunset over the Pacific that I concentrated on that scene. Here are the two shots I got after sunset.

One November morning as it was growing light, I could hear Horace Werden's voice downstairs. "I'm a-trying to break in forty acres of corn I have, and I'm just to damned old and stiff any more to enjoy getting on and off the tractor every two shakes. I could sure use a boy to drive whilst I pick up." He looked up at me coming down the steps. "Harry with your permission," he said, "I could sure use the services of a good hired man."
At last I was going to have a good look at his place. He unwired the passenger door of his car, moved a gunny sack of bean seed, scooted a bucket of rusty nails more to the center of the seat and bid me get in. I tucked a sagging strip of ripped headliner overhead so I could see, and we were off.
Horace had built a huge modern two storey house about a hundred yards back onto his place from his log cabin a couple of years earlier. It never looked from the road as though it belonged there, neatly finished, white and trim, surrounded by sprawling junk and horse weeds. Consequently I felt oddly relieved to find it all smeared with mud by the hogs, as we drove up beside it.
"You get on the tractor, I'll be out directly," he said, nodding at his completely rusted machine hitched to a wagon.
I started to unwire my door, but decided to climb over the junk and go out on his side. I eagerly mounted the tractor and fiddled with the controls. I had never driven a John Deere before. From my perch I could see all kinds of enticing curiosities, especially the steam engine, 'way back next to the woods. "Horace?" I said as he came back outside, "Dad said that you used to have an old Fordson."
"Yeap. It's on the other side of that shed, yonder. Maybe you'd like to look at it after we're done," he said, checking the controls before me. He walked around the front of the tractor, opening a petcock on each side of the engine. He stepped up to the flywheel and gave it a counter-clockwise heave.
"Fuff," said the old contraption.
He gave it another throw.
"Fuff. Fuff. Fuff. Fuff..." it replied.
He scurried 'round, closing off the cocks, giving the tractor a change of voice: "Fuff. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...!" He stood on the drawbar behind me, explaining the controls. I pushed forward on the hand clutch and we were off, forthrightly, wagon clattering after.
Breaking in a field of corn meant shucking the outside two rows by hand, all around the field, so that a pull-type corn picker could enter the field without mashing down un-harvested corn. He already had most of the corn shucked and piled, so all I had to do was drive past each pile and wait whilst he threw the ears into the wagon. I offered to jump off and help pick up each time, but he insisted that I stay on the seat. I appreciated the gesture, but without the exercise, I began to think I would freeze to death.
On the last side of the field, Horace got a good look at me and stepped up to the tractor, killing the engine. "I should 'a' been a-watching you more closely. You're about froze, ain't ye? You run around the tractor and wagon and stir your blood, whilst I go off here and wet."
I gratefully clambered down to do as he bid.
"All right, let's get to the house," he said. "You're too damned cold to walk. Here! Let's trot!"
It was a shock, stepping inside his house, for there was no floor between the first and second storeys, and there was a mountain of the previous year's corn, starting at the middle of the house, sloping clean to the roof at the far end. The rest of the house's enormous single room was a veritable sea of junk, piled about chest deep, stringing up onto the foot of the big pile of corn. In the midst of a cleared space, he drew a kerosene can up to the table. "Here," he said, rattling coal out of a hod into the top of his range. "Have 'ee a seat whilst I scratch things together."
I sat at the table, feigning nonchalance, looking at the flotsam which buried the far end of it. He sat in a swiveling office chair, upholstered with frayed paper feed sacks and masking tape, wheeling back and forth on its casters. "Got everything ye need, right here. Here," he said, banging a filthy gallon glass jar of cloudy tea before me. "Have 'ee some tea." He handed me a plastic measuring cup from a sack of calf milk replacer. Then seeing my hesitation, said: "Oh here. You're cold. let me heat that stuff." He poured some into an iron sauce pan.
As I sat there wondering what was next, he caught me eyeing three or four old soot blackened guns, leaning against the wall by the door. "This here one's my favorite," he said, handing me the longest one with exposed hammers.
"It's an old Westley Richards twelve gauge. It takes the old short ca'tridge. Hard as the very dickens to get any more."
"How old is it?" I said, handing it back.
"Oh, sixty-five or seventy years, anyway. Now you don't tell no one, but I reckon ye won't, that gun's worth two cars, but I ain't sold it because I can hit with it right smart. You know, a shotgun's got to fit you right to hit with, and that one's the only one I've got that does."
He slid a greasy skillet over the fire box. "Got everything ye might need right here," he said, slicing up a huge hunk of Bologna sausage. Each time he turned to flop some slices into the skillet, a rat would peer out from the junk, darting back in as he turned back to the table. The room began to smell of scorched rancid fat. He set out some grocery store white bread as he turned the meat with his pocket knife. Whilst he was busy, the rat grabbed a piece of bread the size of one's thumb and returned to his hiding place, disregarding me altogether.
"Here ye be," he said, handing me a sandwich.
I took tiny bites, swallowing them with my tea.
"Want another 'n'? Got plenty. Don't be bashful."
I was relieved to be back in the field. This time, I managed to stay warm. He had not shucked the last through beforehand, and there was enough space between the fence and the corn to drive the tractor. He shucked two rows at once, going just a bit slower than the tractor could crawl, so I'd stop here and there and shuck ahead as he caught up.
"All right Tom, let's leave the wagon by the house. I'm a-going to run in and count my money and one thing and another, and whilst I'm a-doing that, you hike 'er over to the steam engine and the old Fordson and look 'ee all ye want. I'll be out directly."
I was standing by the Fordson, drinking in it's primitive elegance when he found me. "How long has it been a-sitting here?" I said.
"I think since just before you was a baby."
"Ever think about selling it for iron?" I said, glancing at the money in his hand.
"Mercy no!" he said. "That's a good old tractor. I could have 'er running in half a day." He gave a shove at the drawbar with his boot. "Well half a month, maybe. But ye know what I mean, once a fellow lets go of something it's gone for good."
Years later, Horace had a sale. I had heard that he had been in and out of the hospital with uremic poisoning. I rode over on my bicycle in spite of the cold wind out of the northwest.
The crowd swooped in, settling in huddles about the hay wagons, picking at his things. The auctioneer rasped and crackled over his electric horn. They were bidding on the old Westley Richards. They were unaware of its worth, trying to sell it in one lot with some junk, but I couldn't make myself bid on it. "I don't see anything I want," I said.
I found Horace standing off by himself , stooped, looking at the trees. He was wearing a smartly tailored tweed suit and overcoat and gumboots wrapped with tape and twine. His eyes watered from the raw wind, his face red and swollen with uremia. "Well, if it ain't ol' Jesus Christ hisse'f!" he said with a snort and a grin as he eyed my beard and shoulder length hair. He grabbed my hand with a shaky eagerness that put a lump in my throat. "Tom, it's been many a sore long winter."

New platforms cannot succeed without a system to collect data, and analyse patterns leading to meaningful insights; not just to understand the user experience, but to set up a solid advertising framework to be used by agencies and brands. So what do we have for virtual reality at the moment? How does VR analytics differ from traditional web or app analytics? Can we transfer existing knowledge to this new field, or we need to rethink our models? How will we measure the most important goal, attention, in virtual reality?
The bread and butter of analytics: attention and action
How do we measure activities on a website today? Without getting into details, we measure attention and action. Let's start with the easier one in virtual reality: action. In VR everything counts as an action when the user activates something. Opening up a new scene, click-looking on a button or purchase a new product. These are easy to track. In fact, measurement can be done using the existing tools like Google Analytics. We can easily get the same figures as we do now: when, how often and who interacted with what part of the environment.
Attention is a bit more complicated, but in a way developers and advertisers will love. In virtual reality we know exactly where the user is looking, where's their eye focus, hence their attention. In web analytics we do have a similar metric called mouseover, where we can measure when the cursor hovers over a piece of content. You can build nice heat maps with a similar technology. You can argue this is simply guessing attention, and you are not exactly wrong. A true attention map requires eye tracking, something that you normally only do in UX research labs.
In a 360 virtual environment this is a bit different. A content heat map sounds like a good idea, but it's tricky. It's easy to quantify VR - it has pixels, just as websites have - but it is super hard to analyse data which is always changing. There's just way too much to track, and the process has to be simplified in order to develop actionable insights.
Looking at something vs watching something
We truly believe that display advertising will thrive in virtual reality. Having virtual screens in a virtual environment is the first thing that comes to mind, but we have to learn our lessons from the not-so-glorious state of display ads.
There's quite a difference between looking at an ad and watching an ad. Both of these actions have our attention to some degree, but they are different in terms of our commitment. The insights about page depth and scroll depth on a webpage have the equivalent in VR, too: the amount of time and focus we spend in different scenes in a virtual environment. It can be quantified and measured easily.
A very different user journey
The ultimate question of analytics is simple: have we met our goals by creating this platform? To answer this we define Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), set up KPI goals we need to achieve, and create funnels where we gently push users towards conversion. In the virtual reality KPIs and goals can be defined the traditional way. We might need new metrics, but the process is pretty much the same.
The funnel metaphor won't work though, as the user journey is very different. It's easy to understand why: in a virtual reality environment users love to aimlessly look around sometimes, creating an insane amount of noise. Sure, we can establish checkpoints, like a virtual screen that runs our ad, a virtual shelf in a virtual house with product placement, a button to trigger a new scene etc; but we also have non-interesting but spectacular places where the user can wonder around for an hour contributing towards none of our KPIs.
The answer is creating virtual zones, areas which are important in achieving our goals. Activities in these zones will be highly tracked, and anything that happens outside is less relevant. This can help us create a relatively noise free data environment and focus on the insights that really matter.

While staying at the amazing Hyatt Regency Resort & Spa in Maui, it's important to maintain a casual but chic look. There are some fantastic restaurants at this resort, one of them boasts as one of Maui's best restaurants, Japengo. It's a nicer place with a romantic beach front patio, so I needed to up the outfit game a bit from my breezy day look.
My day look features a light Bohemian sundress from Others Follow, perfect for exploring and sightseeing. My day time makeup is light as well which is BareMinerals powder foundation in Medium Beige and mineral veil with SPF. I almost always use my IT Cosmetics CC cream and especially with these Hawaiian rays, the higher 50 SPF is a must. I contour using a contouring kit from Laura Geller and rose radiance blush powder on my cheeks from BareMinerals.
I love the ease of this black high low dress by Ralph Lauren. It's so comfortable and the shape is super flattering. The jersey stretch material is so simple to roll up in my luggage. Speaking of luggage, did I mention I packed my entire 10+ day honeymoon trip in my Anne Klein roller carry on bag? That's right! Sandals are a must in Hawaii and my go-to pair lately have been these, which were from a local St. Louis boutique called Magnolias. For my makeup I just accentuated my look by adding black eyeliner, a little deeper shade of eyeshadows from NYX Love in Paris Collection/Let Them Eat Cake and another layer of mascara by Maybelline. It was pretty easy!
What are your tips for an easy day to night look? Share them below in the comments.

National Careers Week 2018
24 Jan 2018
Careers at Sea sponsors National Careers Week - and you can help to further the cause.
The Merchant Navy Training Board's (MNTB) Careers at Sea campaign is, for the first time, sponsoring an entire day during National Careers Week (5th-10th March) and is calling on UK shipping companies to help spread the word.
Careers at Sea will be sponsoring Tidal Tuesday (6th March) and will aim to inform schools, colleges and youth groups across the UK of the opportunities at sea available to young people and the lifelong career prospects offered by the maritime industry.
"We are calling on UK shipping organisations to engage with this event and open their vessels and offices to local schools and youth groups in order to raise awareness of the shipping industry and careers at sea," says Fena Boyle, Training and Careers Manager for the MNTB, who coordinates the initiative.
"This is an opportunity for the industry to make a difference and dispel the myth once and for all that young people do not know about career prospects at sea," says Fena.
For more information about Tidal Tuesday, click here or contact Fena Boyle to find out how your company can get involved.

This was recorded on 11th December 2012 at the Bradford on Avon carol sing in The Swan Hotel. It was taken and edited by Charlie Steeds. The song itself, the Nailsbourne Beasts Song, was researched by my partner Anne Gregson. The following words go with it:
According to the late Miss Ruth Tongue, she learnt the melody and words of the Nailsbourne Beasts Song as a child in 1906 from the widow of a cowman in Kingston St Mary. It had been the cowman's 'mystery', to be sung only by him in the barton on Christmas Eve, but it was passed on to the child as the new cowman was though not a fit person to use it properly.

Dutch Bros. Business Plan
Rennika and MacKenzie Doty worked for Oregon-based Dutch Bros. Coffee, and they wanted to own a franchise. Dutch Bros. only offers franchise opportunities to existing employees, and the Doty sisters were exemplary employees. They approached me to write their business plan, and after a conference call, I had all the information necessary to start writing and researching a first draft.
I met with expert financial analyst John Campbell to give him the data he needed to create pro forma financial projections. Then I started running comps and researching databases to research potential competitors and their total addressable market. I delivered the first draft one week after our conference call.
Their requested revisions were minimal (a few adjustments to the financials and their management summaries). With their completed business plan in hand, they began meeting with loan officers.
Within less than a year, they had a bank-approved loan for $500,000.

Kevin Durant & Steph Curry's Moms Infuriate Cavs Fans After Finals Trash Talk — Watch
Not all cheerleaders shake pom poms! The mothers of Kevin Durant and Steph Curry were totally hyped after watching their sons defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, which lead to some hilarious trash-talking inside the stadium.
If you're not rooting for the Golden State Warriors this season, steer clear of these women! Kevin Durant, 28, and Steph Curry's, 29, biggest fans are obviously their mothers, who majorly turned up in the stadium after Game 3 of the NBA Finals. It was the perfect time to celebrate as the Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 113 – 118 in the Quicken Loans Arena on June 7. As the mothers made their way out of the venue, one lucky sports fan caught them talking smack about the losing team on camera! "That's how you TAKE IT," one said. "That's what happens!" They cheered and hugged each other as many Warriors fans gathered around to join in on the happiness.
Leading up to Game 4 on June 9, Lebron James, Tristan Thompson, and the rest of the Cavs are really going to have to step up their game if they want to claim the championship. It hasn't been an easy road for the former victors, especially with the alleged Kardashian Kurse looming over their heads. It seems EVERYONE in the sports world is convinced that Khloe Kardashian is bad luck for Tristan, including ESPN analyst Jalen Rose who slammed the reality star's romance on television. "There are three things in life that are certain to me: Father-time, gravity, and the curse of the Kardashians. Tristan had zero points in two of the three [finals] games."
As for Warriors superstar Steph, his primary concern is winning and making wifey Ayesha proud! She'd LOVE for him to walk away with the title on Father's Day because it would be such a special occasion for their two kids, Ryan and Riley. "As much as she would be happy at any point that the Warriors would win the NBA Championship, even in a sweep, she thinks it would be awesome if winning landed on Father's Day," a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. So cute!

Majors Division
Majors division is the most competitive division within all of Saratoga Little League divisions.
Most players in the Majors will be 12 and 11-years old. However, very highly qualified (very high impact) 10 year old players (Historically 0-2 in each year), may also be drafted by the Managers of respective Majors teams, after player evaluations.
Team Manager draft players based upon the player's tryout ratings and their individual team needs for a given season. Each player must play a minimum of three innings in a six-inning game. Coaches focus on developing individual and overall team skills to field the most competitive team.
Nine players are assigned to field positions and all 12 players bat with the exception of inter-league games where local rules may vary. Game scores and standings are recorded. Upon completion of the regular season, a post-season playoff tournament is held. The First Place team from the tournament advances to the District Level Tournament of Champions (TOC)
Skill Goals

Continuous and semicontinuous reaction systems for high-solids enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosics
Document Type
Publication details
González Quiroga, A, Bula Silvera, A, Vasquez Padilla, R, da Costa, AC & Maciel Filho, R 2015, 'Continuous and semicontinuous reaction systems for high-solids enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosics', Brazilian Journal of Chemical Engineering, vol. 32, no. 4, pp. 805-819.
Peer Reviewed
An attractive operation strategy for the enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosics results from dividing the process into three stages with complementary goals: continuous enzyme adsorption at low-solids loading (5% w/w) with recycling of the liquid phase; continuous liquefaction at high-solids content (up to 20% w/w); and, finally, continuous or semicontinuous hydrolysis with supplementation of fresh enzymes. This paper presents a detailed modeling and simulation framework for the aforementioned operation strategies. The limiting micromixing situations of macrofluid and microfluid are used to predict conversions. The adsorption and liquefaction stages are modeled as a continuous stirred tank and a plug flow reactor, respectively. Two alternatives for the third stage are studied: a train of five cascading stirred tanks and a battery of batch reactors in parallel. Simulation results show that glucose concentrations greater than 100 g L-1 could be reached with both of the alternatives for the third stage.

More ramblings from this week's episodes! Again, I really don't intend to do a lot of recapping; these are more like reactionary posts about the episodes that I watched in the past week.
Bubblegum – Episodes 1-2
The first thing that got to me about this drama was… is Lasse Lindh on the OST!? I loved his songs in I Need Romance 2012 and his voice is just so soothing that it always gives the dramas a whimsy, romantic backdrop.
And whimsy romantic comedy this drama is. I like how carefree the characters are, and how we are introduced to them through stressful situations. Kim Haeng Ah (Jung Ryeo Won) is introduced to us through her job and in the middle of a break up with famous radio DJ Kang Seok Jun (Lee Jong Hyuk). Park Ri Hwan (Lee Dong Wook) is introduced to us setting up lights for his (presumably non-blood-related) family and treating a young baseball athlete with his Eastern medicine practice. Dentist Hong Yi Seul (Park Hee Bon) is shown in the middle of a very difficult time (she just broke up with her fiancé) and we learn a lot about DJ Oh Se Young (Kim Jung Nan) when she's forced to deal with a listener who sends in a suicide note. As stressful as that situation was, it was pretty funny to see the things that come out of her mouth when forced to think on her feet and feeling very desperate.
Overall this drama is about these semi-adults who are still trying to figure out their paths in life. While successful in their respective careers, their personal lives are a bit of a mess. But despite extenuating circumstances (exes, family, conflicting feelings, wrong timing), we know that Haeng Ah and Ri Hwan will find their way to each other's arms.
I love that Haeng Ah's boss Dong Il is introduced eating ramen in his dorm-like room, and that the actor playing him (Park Won Sang) looked just as shabby when we were introduced to him in LAST. Hehe. I also love that Ri Hwan's partner and roommate Dr. Kwon Ji Hoon (Lee Seung Joon) is introduced as sleeping in the backseat of the car and then singing to the tune of "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?": "Do you want to have hangover soup with me? Okay bye…" Ji Hoon overturning his pockets to produce 2000 won was just priceless, and broke the tension during the suicide note-broadcast. And then when we see Ri Hwan and Haeng Ah revert to their childlike selves around their "aunt" and "uncle" who run the cafe, it's a bit of a slick move to incorporate their characters' background without interrupting the flow of the present and give us a sense of their personalities. I love how seamless it is, especially since mentally they would never be able to answer the questions with a mature answer anyways. I think it's a slick effect from the writing, directing, acting, cinematography, and editing. All of these bits together sets up quite the charming drama.
I think it helps A LOT that Jung Ryeo Won is just adorable in this drama. She has such a child-like smile that she's retained over the years, and I love the actress that plays her younger version (who's so much sassier and cuter, and I think was the youngest girl in Suspicious Housekeeper). I also love her chemistry with Lee Dong Wook because the two of them really seem like close friends – almost siblings. He's very protective of her, and she's very much like a child when around him and their sort-of-adoptive family. Haeng Ah only cowers in fear of his mother (Bae Jong Ok) for good reason, since she knows that Ri Hwan's mother doesn't like her. Lee Dong Wook is so playful here that it's reminiscent of his role in Blade Man; while that wasn't the greatest drama ever, I did enjoy Lee Dong Wook acting like a crazy fool. I think he's found his acting niche.
It's even funnier, and also very pathetic on his part, to make a fuss looking for Haeng Ah's mother's bracelet at her ex's home only to leave it behind.
One of the things I like about the drama is how they keep the flashback stories to the end of the episode. It does not interrupt the flow of the present day, it gives us a chance to be fully immersed in the memory, and it helps clarify things after so that if you ever rewatch it or remember the specific details you will think, "Oh yeah, now that makes sense." I hope they keep up that tradition in future episodes.
She Was Pretty – Episode 9
Episode 9 was special in that we got to see Hye Jin's transformation. Even though she's changed her looks, her coworkers more or less treat her the same, and she hasn't changed her go-getter attitude. She's not a delicate flower even if she looks like one. Only Siwon hates her transformation, and to hilarious effect. It was also an inspiring episode in that we get to see Kim Ra Ra show her appreciation for her team, even though the subtitles running behind her speech were too reliant on Google Translate.
I'm glad that Seol only becomes nicer to Hye Jin because she regrets possibly causing her firing, and that Sung Joon does not seem to recognize her as his best friend. He still sees her as Hye Jin of the Present and values her as an employee, but he still goes to Ha Ri thinking that she's the Hye Jin of the Past. And speaking of Ha Ri, they're really prolonging the lie because she can never seem to tell him the truth in time. Something always has to happen that prevents them from meeting up for this, and while I understand why it's happening, I want enough time for Ha Ri to redeem herself and be forgiven in the eyes of her friend. It was a touching scene where she realized how much she valued her friendship with Hye Jin over some guy… if only she can finally prove it to us viewers that she won't let a boy get between her and Hye Jin.
Again, my favorite scenes include Siwon. One was where they were planning for their anniversary party and Poong Ho suggests they get an "up-and-coming" idol group named Super Junior. I think it was definitely an ad-libbed line because it cuts to Siwon's reaction shot and you can see his ears perk up and him struggling to keep it together. Yess… The best line of the episode also goes to him:
Reporter Cha: "Shin Hyuk, when are you going to grow up?"
Shin Hyuk: "Tomorrow!"
There is one thing that I felt wasn't really successful and came off more weird than cute in this drama: it's when they put the Kid Sung Joon's head on his adult body as he explains why he loves Renoir. It's meant to show that Hye Jin sees her best friend of the past, and that she still views him that way even if he doesn't see her as the same girl from the past, but it comes off really weird. I think it's because the show used to use flashbacks rather than this sort of CGI or this particular effect, which makes it jarring compared to something like Bubblegum that used this effect from the very start. In any case, I get the point, but I still think that it was not executed very well.
Hi Joon Ki.
Cheer Up – Episodes 7-8
Soo Ah in episodes seven and eight is the most frustrating character of all. Kudos to the actress and the writing, but she really really pisses me off as a character. She has been given way too many chances compared to everyone else to come clean and to live a straight life. Teacher Yang, Dong Jae, and I think to an extent Yeol and Ha Joon have given her opportunities to fess up. Even her "best friends" Jae Young and Na Yeon decided to go back on their word and admit that they lied about the sexual harassment incident; they have more courage than she does.
I understand that she's a product of her upbringing, that her mother's insistence on her going to an Ivy League school and then possibly marrying rich is the only life she's known. I've never seen her happier than when she finally received her mother's approval, but it came at a high price. So imagine if her mother had been more loving and approved of her more, Soo Ah would have been a kinder and more caring person. So I despise everyone around her, who work to support Soo Ah and all of her schemes: her mother, the principal, her coach, and even Teacher Im to an extent indirectly.
And that's why I'm glad that Teacher Im got proven wrong and embarrassed in front of everyone when he falsely accused Yeol of stealing the midterm exam. I want him to lose the shine in his eyes regarding Soo Ah and I want the principal to realize that all her recent scandals are rooted to Soo Ah and her mother's problems. I think the principal knows that Soo Ah and her mother are manipulative and is turning a blind eye towards it, but I want that principal to reach her limit soon. And I think it might help if she sees her right-hand man not want to help Soo Ah in the future at all.
I don't know what I want Soo Ah's fate to be. I don't want her to be forgiven, even though she's already been effectively outcast by everyone. I don't want her to commit suicide though I feel like she may think that's her only out. I don't want her to say sorry because she's also wronged people too deeply too many times. I'm really conflicted and in a way I'd rather she just leave the school and her family without another word, and have a fresh start elsewhere. She doesn't deserve these many chances that her classmates are giving her; if this were another drama, she wouldn't have this many chances to ruin people's lives and get away with it. But I am curious as to who is the person who told her to confess at the bonfire, because we know now it's not Yeon Doo who's been leaving her messages.
Not really liking the weird triangle being set up between Yeol, Yeon Doo, and Ha Joon. Dong Jae's lack of a presence in these two episodes have effectively killed the chance for him to be part of the love square (thankfully). I also knew that Yeol and Yeon Doo's parents were the ones romantically linked ages ago, but I didn't really enjoy the confirmation of Yeol's parentage in this week's episodes. It just made me groan and roll my eyes. Of course the parents won't marry now for the sake of their kids!
Ugh – so where's episode 9?
