Encoded Designs has teamed up with artist Matt Morrow to create the Character Cache, the blending of character art and game material for GMs and players.
As a GM you will be able to use the Character Cache as a collection of NPCs. The content includes different ways the character can be used in your campaign. If you are a player, the content supplies an illustration of the character, and provides questions to develop backgrounds, personality traits, aspects, and backstory for your character.
Backers will receive a new Character each month. Before launching the Character Cache, we wanted to show you what we are putting together, so we are giving away one free character: Teela Averness.
The Patreon campaign can be found here: https://www.patreon.com/encodeddesigns?ty=h
Download a PDF version to see it up close: Character Cache – Teela Averness
The Patreon campaign is designed to create a better product as it grows. The artwork starts with line art, and then moves to color line art, and finally fully painted pieces. Along the way, the Encoded Designs team will include stat blocks to the character, making them useful as NPCs in different games.
The Character Cache is being released using the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license. We want you to be able to use the characters and art in your campaigns, post them to your campaign wikis, and use them in your home and convention games.

I'll miss you tomorrow
When the toothpaste cap is on
I'll miss you tomorrow
When I must unlock the front door
I'll miss you tomorrow
When mine is the only reflection in the mirror
But I will celebrate today
The memories of you
Should you go first and I remain to walk the road alone
I'll live in mem'ry's garden dear with happy days we've known
In spring I'll wait for roses red when fades the lilacs blue
And in early fall when brown leaves call I'll catch a glimpse of you
Should you go first and I remain for battles to be fought
Each thing you've touched along the way will be a hallowed spot
I'll hear your voice I'll see your smile though blindly I may grope
The mem'ry of your helping hand will buoy me on with hope
Beyond the sunset oh blissful morning when with our Saviour heaven is begun
Earth's toiling ended oh glorious dawning beyond the sunset when day is done.
Should you go first and I remain to finish with the scroll
No less than shadows shall ever creep in to make this life seem droll
We've known so much of happiness we've had our cup of joy
And memory is one gift of God that death cannot destroy
I want to know each step you take that I may walk the same
For someday down that lonely road you'll hear me call your name
Should you go first and I remain one thing I'll have you do
Walk slowly down that long long path for soon I'll follow you
In that fair homeland we'll know no parting beyond the sunset for evermore.
- Written by Albert Rowswell
Hank Williams made it a hit country song in 1950 after changing the title to Beyond The Sunset
I hear a voice you cannot hear,
Which says, I must not stay;
I see a hand you cannot see,
Which beckons me away.

August 24, 2013 by admin
Filed under Fashion Tips & Finds
Even though I don't get to experience fall in its full glory, it will always be my favorite season. The weather does drop a tad during the fall here in Florida, but it's no where near enough for me to be able to layer – so I look for ways to add little touches of fall where I can. This fall I'm totally obsessing on the blue trend whether it's a mani, heels or a bag. Blue gives the classic fall palettte a fun pop of color and can easily be paired with denim for a casual look or a little black dress for a quirky feel. Check out some of my favorite pieces under $100.

Find Your Perfect Colour Palette
August 23, 2013 by admin
Filed under Fashion Tips & Finds
It can be all too easy to stick to the same old neutral colours when it comes to planning our look – many of us find the thought of trying daring new colours a little daunting. However, if you know what colour palette works for your complexion and tone then there's no reason why you can't experiment with something a little different, and know you'll look great!
If you're lucky enough to still have a summer holiday planned for this year then it's the perfect opportunity to try something different. Swimwear can be a great area to experiment with and there's a great range of swimwear online at the moment. The unfamiliarity of a new place gives you free reign to try something new.
We've all been in that situation where we've tried on a dress that looks fantastic on the model but on us it just doesn't look right. In the same way as you might not team your red leather handbag with your bright green summer dress, some colours can clash with our hair colour, complexion and even eye colour.
So, to take away some of the stress we've put together a failsafe guide to finding your perfect colour palette.
Three foolproof colours
There are certain colours which look great on the majority of skin tones and these are; teal, purple and navy, great for the autumnal months which are approaching. However, if you want to stand out, want to try a vibrant colour palette, or are still basking in the cheerful colours of the summer months then follow this handy guide.
What to wear if you have a light complexion…
If your skin is pale and translucent, if your hair colour is blonde or ash and your eyes are light grey or blue, then cool, pastel colours are the ones for you.
Opt for lilacs, light greens or even a striking aqua which will make the most of your features and enhance your skin tone. Try to avoid dark colours as these may give you a 'washed out' look.
What to wear if you have a dark skin tone…
If you have a rich, dark skin tone then you're in the perfect position to try out some vibrant, striking colours. Unlike with paler skin tones which can be overpowered by strong colours, bright pinks and oranges can look great with a darker complexion. If you're feeling particularly daring, you could even give neon colours a go.
What to wear if you have a warm complexion…
Perhaps you have olive skin or are lucky enough to have a great tan. You may have dark eye colouring and chestnut or auburn hair. If this is the case then greens and khakis are the best colours to set off your skin tone. Often the more vivid colours can clash with your complexion rather than compliment it.
What to wear if you have a cool tone…
Women who are approaching a certain age in their life and perhaps have a grey colouring to their hair can often be seen to have a cool tone. However, this doesn't mean that you have to stick to neutral colours; pinks, lilacs and turquoises are perfectly suited to this type of tone.
Finding the right colour palette for you can really transform your wardrobe. You may find you discover colours which you didn't think would suit you before and you may realise why some colours just weren't working for you. So, have a think about which skin tone applies to you and follow our trusty guide for your next shopping trip!

Filed under Fashion Tips & Finds
A army green jacket or vest in this case is the other denim jacket. It can wrap up a simple outfit with a cool casual vibe. This season they're being seen more & more on tons of celebrities like Selena Gomez, Gwen Stefani the list goes on and on. What I love about the vest is the ability it gives you to layer in a more quirky unique way by letting the sleeves pop out. Now I know a vest is nothing revolutionary but the military vest pops against dainty summer pieces and perfect for for fall favorites. Check out the three outfits built around the vest below. Try them over your tanks and shorts now and over a turtleneck or white button down later. Tip: When shopping for your vest look for ones longer in length and prferably cinched at the waist they're more flattering and look expensive .
Army Green Vest | Alice & Olivia Striped Tee | Lace Pencil Skirt | Bow Back Heels | Emerald Pendant Necklace | Vintage Clutch

A maxi skirt is a great stylish alternative to sweats and leggins and when paired with studded boots and bag like Jessica it instantly looks edgy.

Getting my kids ready for back to school has always been my favorite time of the year! I love shopping for their new shoes and outfits. Last weekend I took advantage of Tax Free Weekend and bought them the majority of their clothes. I still have school supplies and hair cuts but I'll get that done after registration. I hit up my favorite store like Ross, Marshall's and TJ Maxx but I did find a lot of great deals at Bealls (a FL family department store). My little one was determined to get himself a pair of sneaks that had some type of bright color in them so these Nike's were perfect!
Click here to find me on Instagram 🙂
Famous Footwear sent me some gift cards to shop their store and used my last one on these metallic sandals (read about them here)
While shopping for the boys at JC Penney I found Joe Fresh flip flops for only $1.99 and in the perfect shade of green! SCORE!
I saw this bow tie tee and had to have it for my Bobby! I bought the plaid button down for only $7.99 and the tee for $4.99 at Ross.
Looks like another Anderson was bitten by the musical bug. 🙂

This October, Trades of Hope has donated to a ministry of coffee farmers and their families (pictured right). These artisans make a living by creating coffee and by selling through fair trade companies in the US. To properly create this coffee, the artisans and their families need to build a wet mill. That is where we come in! The new wet mill will revitalize the community and lay the foundation for economic security for the farmers! This does not only affect the artisans, but also affects their families and their communities.
This wet mill project is being led by a mission minded company in the US, called Provision Coffee, and by HOPE Bible Missions. We are so excited that we are working together to not only give these artisans a viable business, but sharing the love of God. This ministry is dedicated to training up leaders in the community who can own businesses, love one another, and contribute to creating change!
Trades of Hope is honored to be able to support such life-changing artisans, and we want to thank you for every sale and purchase you have contributed to changing the world. We could not do it without you!
Below are some pictures sent to us from the community in Guatemala!

CoStar: Commercial Real Estate prices "Continued Climb" in November, up 12% year-over-year
Here is a price index for commercial real estate that I follow.
From CoStar: CRE Prices Continued Upward Climb in November
STRONG FUNDAMENTALS AND CAPITAL FLOWS SUPPORTED BROAD CRE PRICE GROWTH IN NOVEMBER. U.S. commercial real estate continued to post broad price gains in November 2015, with market fundamentals reflecting healthy levels of absorption and continued rental gains, even as construction levels slowly increased. The two broadest measures of aggregate pricing for commercial properties within the CCRSI — the value-weighted U.S. Composite Index and the equal-weighted U.S. Composite Index — each increased by 0.9% in November 2015, contributing to annual gains of 12.2% and 11.7%, respectively, for the 12 months ended November 2015.Click on graph for larger image.
emphasis added
This graph from CoStar shows the the value-weighted U.S. Composite Index and the equal-weighted U.S. Composite Index indexes.
The value-weighted index increased 0.9% in November and is up 12.2% year-over-year.
The equal-weighted index increased 0.9% in November and up 11.7% year-over-year.
Note: These are repeat sales indexes - like Case-Shiller for residential - but this is based on far fewer pairs.

THE BACKPACK IS BACK. Last spring it was hard to find an outfit post where I wasn't wearing this bag. I love how it's small and compact but can still hold everything I need. It definitely came in handy during SXSW last year, and now that the music fest is right around the corner, I'm breaking it out again. It might make me look like a child but whatevz. Long live the backpack.
I'm sure you all forgot that Valentine's Day is this weekend (wow, how could you?). I'm wearing this pin all week just for the occasion. My V Day plans include running a 5K at 7:30 AM and then probably stuffing my face somewhere with friends for Sunday Funday. My affinity for brunch is probably the most "basic" thing about me, and I'm okay with that.
Outfit details:
Austin Rocks top (c/o)
Old Navy chambray shirt
Agaci black pants (old)
Target backpack
MIA boots

This Widget Plugin enables you to display Sportgate News Feeds on your WordPress website without knowing anything about the format of the feeds.
Just select from a preset list of categories which feed you want to have displayed and customize its appearance as you like inside the boundaries of Sportgate's presentation options.
- You can have up to 20 widgets with up to 20 items per feed.
- Change the title of each widget to something more pleasing if you like.
- Display news item titles only or title and short description, click title to go directly to the associated Sportgate news article.
It is an adapted version of the KB Advanced RSS Widget by Adam R. Brown.
You MUST be using a widgets-enabled theme. If you are using pre-2.2 WordPress, you'll also need the sidebar widgets plugin.
- Upload
WP-Sportnews.phpto either
- Activate the widget through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
- Add the new Sportnews widget to your sidebar through the 'Design => Widgets' menu in WordPress.
If you want more Sportnews widgets, scroll down and increase the allotment.
- What code do I need to place in my sidebar?
None. This is a widget. If you are using pre-WP v2.2, you need to have the widgets plugin running. No matter what version of WP you're using, you need to be using a widgets-enabled theme.
- The feeds don't update
They update only once per hour (as coded in
wordpress/includes/rss.php). If they don't update after more than a couple hours, look in the top of
WP-Sportnews.phpfor this line:
define('SGRSS_FORCECACHE', false);
and change it to true. This will manually delete the cache if it's more than 1 hour old. In newer versions of WordPress, manually deleting the cache in this manner might cause a small error next time you load the page. Just reload the page.
- I add the widget to my sidebar, but it doesn't show up
In the widget's options, make sure the option to hide the widget when the feed is down is not checked. Go back to your website and reload.
- The feed is probably down
This widget relies on WordPress's feed parsing abilities (look in
wordpress/includes/rss.php). WordPress grabs the requested feed then passes it to this widget for formatting. If you are seeing this error, it means one of three things:
- The feed really is down. Wait a while and try again.
- Your host is blocking WordPress from fetching the feed (very likely). Read more here.
- WordPress's feed parser isn't working. Try updating to the most recent version of WordPress.
- Some users of this widget have suggested additional solutions to this problem. Check out the comments on this blog post.
In any case, you may want to first try using WordPress's built-in RSS widget. If neither it nor this widget can display the feed, then you know for certain that it's one of those three reasons–and not the widget itself–causing the failure.

Some word for ya'll , "I've probably made more mistakes than anybody. But I don't dwell on them. I don't expect people to understand me, because I'm pretty complex, and I think outside the box with everything I do. I've always taken the un-traveled path. Obviously, people have their opinions, but I can't get too wrapped up in that, because I know what I can do, and I know what kind of person I am. And I have no control over what anybody says about me. Imelda Nara , is all matter for me.

Please Come Back, Mister Recaps: Episode 9 (Never let the kids find the porn)
Per usual, things were left in a cliffhanger on the previous episode, so let's recap episode 9 of Please Come Back, Mister.
Please Come Back, Mister
Starring Rain (Bi) and Oh Yeon SeoAdd to Queue Remove from Queue Watch Now
So Hae-joon proposed to live together and I'm impressed they actually go inside to talk about it. He, once again, explains how much he admired Young-soo and how it's a win-win deal for everyone if they live together. Although Da-hye is against the idea, he proposes using his level of satisfaction while living there as a way to take care of the debt. Han-na realises it's the way to stay in the house so she helps to convince Da-hye with her charms. Hae-joon is given a sheet to put stickers in there to show his satisfaction. He also asks to be treated as family.
Later, Da-hye is trying to put plates in a too high place, so Hae-joon comes from behind and helps her, invading her personal space and practically getting her pressed to his pecs. He finally steps back and gives her an envelope with money, the rent in advance. She thanks him, but he dismisses it as just business.
However, he gets in her personal space again, too close to his face and deals for a coffee she hands him all huffy. I'm pretty sure she put salt in it. Or something disgusting because he spits it all.
Hong-nan is practising with the punching bag when my love Seung-jae finds her. She wants to practise with him but he can block her too easily. He knows she went to President Ew's house and warns her to be careful but she replies with how she handed the male model to Suk-chul. He reassures her she has nothing to do there. She tells him not to worry, she'll get the store back for him. She also tells him she'll leave in a month regardless of what he says, my love Seung-jae looks actually surprised and disappointed. I'm pretty sure he likes her!
When Hong-nan goes inside, Lee-yeon and Young-chan are sleeping together, and she watches them with fond eyes. Then we see Gi-tak watching them, with the same expression, laying down next to them, a hand around them, protecting them. Why couldn't they be a family? I'm going to cry in my corner because of this.
Hae-joon now has to sleep on the second floor. Yet, he seems happy yo be there, surrounded in the smell of home, with the sounds of his house, like his father's coughing, Da-hye and Han-na laughing. As our ahjussi Young-soo, he listens fondly, feeling at peace again. While he lies in the futon, he finds the pin Da-hye lost. Both as Hae-joon and Young-soo they watch it, kiss it.
Da-hye in her room, puts the envelope with the money in the drawer and finds the box with the necklace. Pretty and all, but Ji-hoon the Traitor chose it so I don't like it. She doesn't know it, though. The focus changes to the picture of her, Han-na and Young-soo.
The next morning she goes to wake up Hae-joon, annoyed that she has to deal with his underwear, and still half-asleep, he forgets he's not Young-soo anymore and believes it was a dream. As she hits him with the pillow like a savage, he realises that the scary dream where she doesn't recognise him will never end, because he's really dead. And here I get my heart broken again.
For breakfast, the table look amazing with so much food and Hae-joon is annoyed, because that's not normal in that family. He wanted to be treated like family, not to have special treatment. For that alone, there won't be any grape sticker yet.
Hae-joon will drive Han-na to school, who is very impressed with the car. Before Da-hye gets in, he locks the door and glares at her. They leave her behind and cheer happily.
Somewhere else, my love Seung-jae opens the van to let Lee-yeon and Hong-nan out. They look gorgeous, but when the actress notices the other girl wearing her clothes and looking so good, asks to switch outfits. When they go out again, cute Young-chan exclaims how gorgeous Lighting Girl looks. Seuing-jae looks like he agrees, the cutie pie! But Lee-yeon asks to change again. This time, when they come out, Seung-jae stops Young-chan before he can say anything and make the girls switch outfits again. And now that that is over, they realise they are at the store. Oops. It seems Bitchy Actress manages to still annoy them.
And talking about Bitchy Actress, she's thanking President Ew for helping and allowing the shooting to be there, but he did not do anything, what approved to let them shoot there was Hae-joon, who sings with a happy smile he also wears around.
As he walks with Manager Ma, who tries to convince he didn't take bribery, Hae-joon starts showing kindness to all the workers so they won't die of overworking, telling them to rest if their legs hurt and eat, even nap when necessary. Manager Ma tries to stop him and tell him it's not okay, but all the employees are swooning over him and seeing him as the saviour, someone who finally fights and cares for them.
In his office, President Ew is frowning because of Hae-joon, and Bitchy Actress wants to seduce him a bit, but he won't have anything and snaps at her. In her annoyance, she tells him there's a special guest today and he should come.
The special guest, Lee-yeon, acts like everything is okay in front of the director, having a minor role is something she always wanted to try.
Hae-joon takes Da-hye to the same place Ji-hoon took her to eat, trying to get more comfortable with her, so she can know his taste and such. He puts meats for her and mentions how it's been long since they had a meal together, however it's the first time for her. He misses having someone watching over him while he eats. He makes her put some meat for him and his giggling is adorable. He also declares his desire to have more meals like that together.
Lee-yeon is in her waitress outfit, and with her elegance and beauty, she gets everyone to turn to stare at her, until she walks into President Ew who tries to burst her bubble, making snarky remake, trying to belittle her. He's so ew.
Hae-joon makes an appearance, talking to Hong-nan and reporting to her how things are going for him. Seung-jae is walking by with Young-chan when the two are being super close. He looks so jealous my love! Why do I find that so amusing?
Hong-nan and Hae-joon, who is carrying Young-chan on his shoulders, stop President Ew from pestering Lee-yeon any further. The women and kid walk away and President Ew tries to tell Hae-joon to leave their families out, but why would he care about that when he showed no regard for Young-soo's family? Uh?
Lee-yeon is acting, and Bitchy Actress is using her dialogues, clearly changing her lines because the crew doesn't seem to recognise them, to sting Lee-yeon. Hong-nan gets angry and makes sure to do something about it, trying to get more light for Lee-yeon. Seung-jae has to take her in his arms and drag her out, screaming that she is beautiful and the best! When she acts, it's with so much beauty and grace that everyone is watching her with mouths hanging open, even the camera man is bewitched, focusing solely on her.
Hong-nan runs to her after Bitchy Actress breaks the spell, she's throwing all the compliments to Lee-yeon while President Ew and his secretary watch. The secretary offers to stop the shooting, but President Ew says it's not necessary.
In the store, Ji-hoon is offering some candy to Da-hye, but before she takes it Hae-joon grabs it and acts all closely, making suggestions to leave together and have dinner and such. Ji-hoon is annoyed, and tries to stop him, accusing him of sexual harassment. Da-hye asks him to have a talk and follow her.
At the stairs, she intimidates him, making him look all small and scared while she shows her feisty personality, not letting him intimidate her. She's older, it's time to make the ranks work. When she leaves, he's all flustered, having a proper fangirl attack.
Da-hye walks away, telling herself to be tough and not let Hae-joon think she's a pushover. She runs into Ji-hoon then, tripping and breaking the heel of her shoe. She doesn't even pick it, she just walks away when she sees Hae-joon approaching. Both men stay watching her with dreamy looks that change into murderous glares when they look at each other.
Out of the blue, Suk-chul shows up in front of President Ew. The latter asks about Hong-nan and Suk-chul tells about Seung-jae and that she is his little sister, but he'll look more into it. It seems, President Ew offered the store to him. So disgusting, seriously, in his way to diss Suk-chul he even makes that other disgusting guy look nice. How can someone be so hateful? Suk-chul just laughs off the insult. I hope he's planning to stab President Ew.
The wonderful four, Hong-nan, Seung-jae, Lee-yeon and Young-chan, go to get spicy rice cakes and fish cakes, enjoying the food so much. Hong-nan feeds both Lee-yeon and Seung-jae.
Da-hye is in the storage, getting rid of the other heel when Ji-hoon comes with a shoe box. He reveals new shoes for her he makes her trie on, while Hae-joon is just watching the Cinderella scene as he squeezes the heel in his hand. He turns around, not wanting to see that anymore, but missing how Da-hye rejects the shoes and gets back in her broken ones. She apologises for the grieve and misunderstandings she caused. Don't give me that heartbroken expression, you traitor Ji-hoon! I shall not feel sorry for you.
Hae-joon calls Hong-nan about it, and she advises him not to lose his woman, telling him about what happened ten years ago, when he allowed Lee-yeon run to President Ew instead of being braver. Even now, he regrets it. That works to encourage Hae-joon, who realises he's not Young-soo now, he's Lee Hae-joon and he can use that. So he goes for Da-hye.
Smoothly, he spins her and makes her fall in his arms, but he tilts her down too much and she dislocates her hips, which ends up with her pulling his hair in revenge. Only when they get home, Hae-joon realises she didn't accept the shoes.
When Hae-joon calls Hong-nan to report, she tells him to do everything he wanted to do but couldn't before. So when Da-hye wakes up, it looks like a dream, with maids waiting for her, helping her get up with a cup of coffee, perhaps? She believes it's a dream, with all that staff bowing to her, even their dog dressed as a princess. But then Hae-joon shows up she realises it isn't a dream, this is actually happening. That's a present for her, all that staff and things he bought, like the massage chair. But she yells at him for doing unnecessary things and makes him tell all the staff to go. So it's up to the others to cook today. Da-hye watches with a smile that turns in a confused expression how Abeoji, Han-na and Hae-joon are having such a great time.
Hong-nan is annoying Seung-jae to fight while he folds clothes, but Hae-joon calls. Both Lee-yeon and Seung-jae react when she calls him yeobo and my love Seung-jae looks actually very annoyed. Hae-joon is in culinary emergency so Hong-nan offers to help, however Lee-yeon tags in and with her come Seung-jae and Young-chan.
The house is a bit crowded, but Hong-nan and Hae-joon are trying their best to make everyone know they are just friends. It kinda fails, they are too close and friendly, everyone watches them suspiciously. Young-chan is even glaring at Hae-joon! That's so adorable.
Then it's time for Hong-nan to show her wonderful chef skills! Everyone is watching impressed because she's so quick and great. She almost brags she used to be a chef, but with a cautionary look from Hae-joon she stops herself and fixes it. Lee-yeon asks why Hae-joon is living there, Da-hye puts it simply: he's a loan shark who's just making sure she doesn't sell the house. As the women start dissing the family Cha, Hong-nan tries to fight for Hae-joon but she can't come up with anything good aside he's handsome and has chocolate abs. Seung-jae, who's playing Chinese chess with Abeoji is listening carefully, turning to hear better and tensing when the arm of massive destruction is mentioned.
Han-na is showing files with birds to Young-chan, but they bump with a folder she doesn't recognise: Brown-eared Bulbul. Han-na asks out loud what that is and everyone reacts immediately. Hong-nan and Hae-joon run to take the kids away from the computer and delete the porn. Da-hye was in the bathroom, so she is the only one who doesn't hear. Hong-nan doesn't want Hae-joon to delete it and decide they have to share the porn, so they start fighting. When she's about to go in the computer room, Lee-yeon and Sung-jae run to stop her.
Moaning is heard from he other side, so to cover up Lee-yeon and Seung-jae start to make sounds that have me laughing on the floor. Inside, Hong-nan is pleading with all her charms to stop him from deleting it, outside Lee-yeon is asking Da-hye to be friends. Back inside, in their fight, Hae-joon finally deletes the porn and Hong-nan breaks down, because she feels like losing her mind in without confirmation of her character. Hae-joon comforts her and promises to get her new stuff, but right then Da-hye opens the door and finds them on the floor, hugging each other. Lee-yeon and Seung-jae also see it and my love looks so angry! I'm so sure he likes her. This is so cute. I'm going to end up so heartbroken at the end.
Hae-joon kicks Hong-nan and the only one left watching is Lee-yeon, whose attention gets caught with the picture of Young-soo.
The actress is with the kids, Young-chan is really good with maths and Han-na with kids. She confesses she always wanted a younger sibling, and Da-hye eavesdrops as she tells how her father told her it was okay, it was better if he didn't have to share his love with another kid and it was all for her. I wonder why they didn't have another kid. Could it have been because of Da-hye? She looks guilty about it. Lee-yeon offers Han-na that she can be a noona to Young-chan, and both kids are happy about it. Da-hye comes out then, calling them to eat.
It's a lovely time. Hae-joon watches his family eat happily, Hong-nan watches with the same loving but sad expression at Lee-yeon and Young-chan, and then they look at each other, faintly nodding and talking with just looks.
Han-na offers Hae-joon food, Da-hye looks at him then and for a while they only stare at each other, until she looks down and he feeds Abeoji. Even my love Seung-jae is watching with a smile on his lips the scene, until he notices Hong-nan was watching. Abeoji offers Seung-jae food then because he still has a lot to grow, and to light up the mood, Hong-nan teases he's already too tall. Everyone ends up laughing and having a good time together.
Lee-yeon and Da-hye are having tea, or coffee, I can't really see, together while talking, she says Young-soo was the only one kind to her before. They mention Hae-joon, who also looks like a good man. Outside, he's holding Han-na on his shoulders, having a good time. He notices her and winks, making her a bit flustered.
Then it's late and both Da-hye and Hae-joon walk their guests, and after saying their goodbyes, he asks her to come with him to get a drink, but she'll choose what to eat.
When they are walking, Lee-yeon mentions Hae-joon and how she doesn't want her to get involved with that family, Hong-nan just laughs at how that could never be, besides, Hae-joon likes Da-hye. Seung-jae looks a bit surprised but glad to hear that, while Lee-yeon is going with a while fantasy and Hong-nan joins her. Seung-jae just watches them, shaking his head but amused. They all are so adorable.
Back to Da-hye and Hae-joon, he's pouring drinks for her. She asks about his family, but his mother died young and he can't even call Abeoji to his father. She asks about the person he loved and he mentions how he thought that for ten years they were doing well, but then realised it was't like that. He asks that if he finds out everything he thought was a lie, then what does that make of his love? She tells him she was surely just doing her best to please him.
He mentions how she's different from what he heard, regarding how she couldn't hold her liquor but in fact it was that she just didn't drink. At times, when she can't sleep, just a few glasses make the trick. He watches her, realising that there are many things he didn't know about her, things she wasn't honest about like how she didn't like pork belly and preferred chicken feet.
Hong-nan finalyl convinced Seung-jae to practise with her, but his mind is filled with the memory of her in Hae-joon's arms. See? He's jealous! But then he focuses a bit more, hitting her softly everything because she isn't just fast. He even traps her and hits her more and more, while Lee-yeon watches from inside with a fond smile.
Young-chan is playing around and finds a picture of a young and beaten up guy with a small one holding boxing gloves. Isn't that Gi-tak when he was young?
Back to Da-hye and Hae-joon, she tells him to stop interfering, they are the ones who have to live without Young-soo, he asks her then who will replace him then. She doesn't reply, and when she starts to say something, he asks if it can be he the one who replaces him.
The epilogue shows the real Hae-joon running around the isle, and then struggling to make fire… when the pilot had a lighter with him all along. I'm sure that if they ever get found out, he'll be tally out of his mind.
It's always lovely to watch this K-drama. It's heartbreaking but so funny at the same time and I believe the balance is well done. I felt during this episode, as we get closer to the deadline, the dread of that moment, because both a Hae-joon and Hong-nan are impacting the other character's lives, so what happened when they have to leave? Hae-joon was right, both Gi-tak and Young-soo are really dead, they can't come back forever. But I see Seung-jae falling for Hong-nan, Da-hye will probably develop feelings for Hae-joon if she isn't already, Han-na is growing attached to Hae-joon but they only have a month left. You feel my struggle? I want them to stay, but I know they can't. I bet I'm going to cry my eyes out for the ending. How do you feel about that?
Remember how I mentioned I didn't like Da-hye for the previous recap? It's not like I hate her, I just don't love her and I don't buy her honesty. There was so much she didn't say, things that shouldn't be an issue like "yeah, I don't like pork belly you know?" Things that pile up and create walls. One of our fellow K-drama watchers commented on thinking the exact opposite regarding that character, and it's as valid. I guess because I'm the opposite type of person as Da-hye, I can't stop questioning her and clashing with her views and attitude. I reckon the full picture isn't out yet, so there's more to see. I'm sure she was fond of Young-soo and all, but did she really love him or did she get married because he loved her? I don't know if I'm expressing my doubts clearly, but I guess I'll understand better my own feelings as the story progress. However, isn't it fun when you're in episode 9 and you still can't figure out how to feel about a character? When you realise you can't form a full opinion yet because there's more to know? It's fun waiting for more light to understand a character. We'll see how things change by the end, right? Maybe I'll end up understanding and loving her, or maybe I'll stick to my current opinion.
My favourite scene was when the kids found the porn and Hong-nan and Hae-joon were fighting over the files, with Lee-yeon and Seung-jae covering it up for them. I couldn't stop laughing, and feeling so embarrassed for them. That's such an unfortunate thing to happen. What was your favourite part?
Now we have to wait for the next episode, the preview made me anxious! So I'll see you all soon.

The past three days have been the most hectic I can remember in my career as a weed scientist. I had heard for a couple of weeks that BASF had sold out of Clearpath and that Newpath was getting short.
However, my telephone exploded Monday with calls from irate farmers who could not find any Newpath. This is at a time of the season where a lot of fields have not received the first Newpath application and few have received the second.
Rather than dwell and speculate on how something that would appear so elementary could go so wrong, I will concentrate on bringing you up-to-date on what is being done to solve the problem. My hat is off to the Arkansas State Plant Board and to the EPA for stopping everything they were doing to focus on this issue.
At present, the Arkansas 24-C label for Beyond has been modified to include Raptor, which is the same product (imazamox), labeled for different markets. They also removed the wording that required Newpath to have been used before Beyond could be used in the 24-C.
Therefore, either Beyond or Raptor can be substituted for Newpath. The Arkansas Plant Board is also in the process of requesting a Crisis Exemption and following that with a 24-C label to allow the use of Pursuit, Pursuit Plus and Albaugh's generic product, Thunder, in place of Newpath.
Newpath, Pursuit and Thunder all contain the active ingredient imazethapyr. All of the agreements between the Plant Board and the EPA are in place, but the paperwork still has to be pushed through. Everyone is hopeful this will be done by the close of business today.
The one issue still unresolved to an extent is the status of the Albaugh product. They have assured me they can have enough Thunder shipped into Arkansas to treat 100,000 acres of rice in 24 to 48 hours at a price considerably cheaper than Newpath. They have also told me they are gearing up to make enough to treat up to 750,000 acres in the next seven to 10 days.
The BASF contract farmers signed states only BASF products can be used on Clearfield rice. As of 10:30 a.m. today, there was one report BASF might buy Thunder to distribute under their label. There is another conference call later today. What the Plant Board has done is included Thunder in the Crisis Exemption so that whether Albaugh sells it or BASF sells it, we are still covered by a label in Arkansas.

Ellen James Martin: How to avoid budget-busting spending
EDITOR'S NOTE: Because of changes to the Sunday Real Estate section, this will be the last Smart Moves column to appear in the San Antonio Express-News.
A couple in their 50s found it tough to stick to their budget until they talked to a financial planner. What emerged from the conversation was their desire to buy an elegant 1920s-era house in a city neighborhood served with gourmet restaurants and entertainment venues.
"All of a sudden the idea of doing serious budget planning made sense. The struggle was over because they had a big goal to work toward," says Steve Juetten, the couple's financial planner.

To buy and refurbish the city property, the couple first had to fix up and sell their small one-level suburban home - a place they'd bought years before for its strong neighborhood schools. But with the kids off at college, suburbia had lost its allure and the city beckoned. So they phoned their real estate agent and soon sold the suburban place.
"Unless you know what's important to you, a budget is like a ship without a destination. On the other hand, a values-based spending plan is a powerful tool," says Juetten, who's affiliated with the Garrett Planning Network. (www.garrettplanningnetwork.com)
After clarifying their financial goals, many people realize that moving to a better home is their top financial aspiration, says Judy Lawrence, a budget coach and author of "The Budget Kit: Common Cents Money Management Workbook" (Kaplan Publishing).
Here are a few pointers for those who need to cut their spending to save for their first home or a move-up property:
•Track and then trim your expenses.
The technique of doing a budget, often called a "spending plan," isn't difficult but does require close attention to detail, Lawrence says.
You must see clearly where your money is now going. Personal finance specialists say that a pencil-and-paper system is often your best bet when creating a budget, especially if you're a novice at the process.
"Look at your recent checking account and credit card statements and then write down what you've spent for the last three months, breaking your expenses into two broad groupings: mandatory and discretionary," Lawrence says.
Mandatory costs include items like car payments and child care expenses. Discretionary items include restaurant tabs and clothing outlays. After tracking your prior spending, search within the discretionary section for low-priority items that could be cut.
"Having a spending plan that works is about delayed gratification. A budget is simply a way to control small expenses now so you can savor bigger pleasures later," says Lawrence, who offers money management tips on her Web site: www.moneytracker.com.
•Avoid budget busters on the way to your money goal.
Obviously, it's not enough to create a spending plan if you don't stay on track and remain faithful to it. That means depositing money in savings every time you get paid and avoiding temptations to veer off course.
Lawrence recommends that people trying to stay on a tight budget jot down all their expenditures as they make them. This should increase your awareness of where your money - including cash outlays - is going. Then make sure you enter all these expenses in your budget book.
•Contain your food-away-from-home costs and gift expenses.
It's no secret that many people overspend due to frequent visits to coffee shops like Starbucks - recently prompting that chain to offer new brews for frugal folks. But many people still remain unaware of how much they're spending for weekday lunches and fine dining.
Nearly every financial adviser recommends that clients take a close look at their eating-out expenses. As Lawrence says, many people find this a black hole and realize, upon reflection, that more cooking at home could dramatically reduce their food expenses.
She also urges clients to be extremely watchful about gift giving. Birthdays and holidays cause many to let go of their purse strings for emotional reasons.
"Many people give big gifts because they want to feel loved or appreciated, or maybe to gain attention. But this practice could seriously hamper your savings plans," she says.

A few years ago, Drs. Tom Robl and Jack Groppo began working on a DOE-funded project to investigate advanced coal combustion by-product processing.
This project was selected as a UK Commonwealth Collaborative project. The Commonwealth Collaborative Program consists of 23 projects, found within various areas of the university. They are based on the application of research in addressing Kentucky's ongoing challenges and advancing its future. The program is the brainchild of UK President, Dr. Lee Todd; and individual projects are chosen for distinguished scholarship, leadership, and commitment to university engagement.
According to Dr. Todd, "These are the research efforts that could solve, the long-entrenched problems that are holding back the state's economic and cultural progress." They are projects aimed at improving Kentucky's schools, business climate, environment, health care and lifestyles.
With the $10,000 grant, the project investigators chose to educate the cyber-world about coal combustion by-products (CCBs). This is a new web site dedicated to information and education on CCB basics, research, utilization, economic and environmental importance, and potential future use.
Our mission is to educate the layperson or student about what CCBs are, and why they are important. We hope that this web site helps to fulfill this goal.
The Kentucky Ash Education Web Site received the first place award in the Communication and Outreach category at the July 2008 C2P2 Awards Ceremony held in Washington, D.C. The awards are sponsored by the U.S. EPA along with ACAA and other C2P2 sponsors to recognize C2P2 partners for outstanding achievements in coal combustion products.

Free counselling for accountants driven loopy by tax loopholes
ActionAid campaigners demanding tax justice for developing countries added colour to an arcane-sounding accountancy event in central London on Thursday 24th June by offering a free counselling service for accountants attending the International Accounting Standard Board's IFRS conference.
This is the first time an IASB event has been targeted by campaigners. ActionAid says it wants to draw attention to calls for a country-by-country reporting standard within the IASB's IFRS6 standard for extractive industries, which is currently being reviewed and will be discussed at the conference.
"We're not against the IASB, in fact we think it can be a positive force for good. But it must consider the needs of all users of company accounts, in developing and developed countries," explained Martin Hearson, ActionAid Policy Advisor and therapist-in-chief.
"We're here to urge the IASB to deliver country-by-country reporting in the extractive industries. Greater transparency in the tax affairs of multinational companies is a vital step towards enabling developing countries to finance their own development, as well as a way to tackle corruption and make governments more accountable to their citizens."
"ActionAid believes that transparency is the best medicine to tackle tax evasion and corruption, and like others in the Publish What You Pay coalition we want the IASB to support country-by-country financial reporting."
African countries lose huge amounts of tax revenue that could be used to combat poverty as a result of corruption, combined with tax dodging by mining companies. ActionAid says that including country-by-country reporting in IFRS6 would reduce the levels of secrecy within the industry and allow citizens to monitor the payments made to governments, as well as helping tax authorities to detect tax evasion practices.
The campaigners were outside the conference as the Outlandish Revenue Service, committed to going to ludicrous lengths to achieve tax justice. They invited accountants driven loopy by tax loopholes or crazed by convergence to relax on their chaise longue and receive free counselling advice from highly trained professionals. In return for this free counselling, campaigners urged accountants to ensure that country-by-country reporting is included in their discussions

The first question we must answer is – What's memory foam mattress? It's a cutting edge, engineered type of viscoelastic PU foam. The unique design of these cells makes them reactive to temperature and body pressure points. A mattress made from viscoelastic is thereby capable to contour itself to fit to the shape of your body, giving the most number of support where it's needed. Alongside the support it offers, a memory mattress prevents excessive perspiration and differs from conventional mattress foams in that the open cell design permits air to pass through the stuff which helps keep the mattress and the individual using it cool.
It's just been in recent years the consumer marketplace for viscoelastic foam mattresses has grown with customers taking note of the advantages that these mattresses have over spring that is regular established constructions. As consumer demand for this kind of mattress has grown, so also is the variety of distinct foam mattresses raised. The trouble is that there's an extensive variation when it comes to quality, which means that customers must take into consideration many critical variables regarding which mattress is best for them before they're able to make the right choice.
What You Ought To Look For If You Are Buying A Foam Mattress
Mattress there are some significant variables and concerns which you should take into account if you are looking to buy a high quality foam. Measurements which you should observe when understanding the specification of memory mattresses and the three most significant evaluations are ILD Evaluation, the Firmness Evaluation and Density. These three distinct standards will establish the expertise you've got with a mattress and how nicely it is going to really perform its job.
Let us take a closer look at the elements that are fundamental
Because you may or may not understand, it's a matter of fact that most folks spend a 3rd of their life around lying in bed. Fascinating research has indicated that a sizeable percent of individuals are spending more cash on couches than mattresses and beds. This differs in Europe, were the most significant purchase an individual may make is regarded as their mattress. After all, who doesn't need a restful, comfortable night's sleep that is directly linked to having a balanced body and mind?
With the previously taken into consideration it's important that you simply buy a mattress as large as you can with regards to the size of your bedroom, bed and funding.
The Suitability Of Your Present Bed For A Memory Foam Mattress
Nearly all foam mattresses available on the market now are also suited to divan or carton sprung kind of bed, but you need to take into account the mattress will not want any additional support from the foundation. What this means is that only a sturdy and steady stage is the greatest base for the mattress.
Why There's Confusion When Comparing Distinct Mattresses By Maker And Version
It's usually believed that it's in the best interest of the retailer to make it as tough as possible for real specification, the customer, to compare efficiently distinct memory foam mattresses by their value for money and you. One method to make a fair comparison will be to compare the products of another brand with Tempur's own products, as they were the firm who introduced foam mattresses and are a leader in that sector of the marketplace.

A group of children took time out of their summer vacation to go up against each other in a recent cook-off in Shanghai.
The event is part of the staple program at the World Expo that allows children to experience their desired future occupations.
Not every child here wants to be a professional chef when they grow up, but they all say that knowing some basic culinary techniques has a practical appeal.
These little chefs were required to finish an appointed dish and an optional dish that they are skilled at preparing.
Some of them were obviously influenced by their regional culinary traditions. For the appointed dish of chicken wings and mushrooms, Li Runke from Chengdu decided to make it according to the typically spicy flavor of Sichuan.
|The event is part of the staple program at the World Expo that allows children to
experience their desired future occupations.
The rookie chef was a little hasty and didn't cook the chicken thoroughly enough, but the judges still praised his ingenuity.
9-year-old Chen Xilei from Guangzhou has every potential to be an expert chef. Her Cantonese cuisine has conquered all the taste buds of the judges.
A judge said, "Her level is beyond my imagination. Her cooking process is very logical. It's not like a 9-year-old, but a full grown-up. So I shall say she is very talented at cooking."
Chef Chen says that such cook-off can help her cultivate her skills for household chores, and gain a sense of achievement.
Chen Xilei, contestant, said, "This event can train us to cook for ourselves. Dad and mom are very tired after work, and if I learned to cook, they would not have to work so hard at home."
A parent said, "It's not only an elevation of their ability, but an attainment of positive attitude of life."
The contest was held in the "Music Bay" pavilion of the World Expo Park. It's the only venue dedicated to kids during the expo. Kids are able to sample 30 different professions there.

Last year 29 of the 110 blankets tested were found to have faults that could be fairly easily remedied but three were so dangerous they had to be destroyed.

|Brinley at a tee ball game--you can't tell but she is holding a plank position--which is why she has defined abs. She does this a lot.
You might remember that Brinley bit me last week. I am happy to say that during this week she still did not try to bite me again.
Sleeping was great and normal.
This week she tried blackberries and raspberries. She seemed pretty much "eh" about them. She did enjoy squishing them to a pulp, though. That was fun for her :). She seems so suspicious of every new food I put before her because she hasn't ever tried anything she hated. She has had a couple of foods she isn't totally in love with, but she eats everything.
Brinley was GRUMPY this week. Super grumpy (for Brinley). I decided to look up wonder weeks and she was at an age for one. She also was still teething, so that could also account for the grumpiness.
We went to a local lake to stay with friends in their condo. I had put her special blankie she sleeps with in her carseat as I was packing things so she could have it by her in the car. She hasn't ever taken it with her out of her bed before, but I figured it would help her be happier for the drive.
My husband pulled it out when he put her in the carseat...and left it home. When it came time to put her to bed that night and we realized she had no blankie, I was a bit nervous to say the least! Strange place, no blankie...umm...
Luckily Brinley just likes sleeping with it. She doesn't suck on it or anything. She had her three stuffed animals she sleeps with. I chose a shirt of hers that was a similar material to her blankie and gave that to her. She slept perfectly! She slept as usual and took naps as usual. She really is a flexible little person.
Brinley had a day with my mom this week while the rest of us went to a local amusement park. She had fun with my mom!

12:45-1:00--nurse with solids (veggie, fruit, finger foods)

Zombie Night Madness 2
You are just enjoying your life when all of a sudden, you heard people eating other people on the streets. That comes as a shock on your part since you are not use to that and no one can get used to that. These people are acting as though they are mindless being. What even worst is that the people that got bitten are somehow reanimating and start feeding on other people. It was then that the local authorities realized that there is a zombie apocalypse. The cops were sent, but they are helpless since they just add to the zombie population. They are not geared nor have the training to fight the situation at hand. Soon, the number of zombies exploded while the number of people dwindles. With more zombies around, people start hiding and forming a group. Together, they stand a chance to the growing problem. You found a monster truck and you use for transport. Anything that you can find useful along the way would be valuable for your group. The zombies can't eat you since you are protected by the thick armor of the monster truck. However, you noticed that it is taking damage, so you carry a gun with you and shoot anything that goes bumping in the night. In this game, you need to survive as long as you can. Don't worry since you are not going to leave the truck. The idea here is to get as far as you can. Every single zombie that you kill would yield some money and you need to grab it. There would be lots of obstacle on the road. Zombies are not even an obstacle for you. You can use the money that you grab by buying some upgrade for your truck.

Tour Scandinavia on a trip through Norway, Sweden and Finland
Tour Scandinavia and discover the many charms and delights on this two-week adventure through Norway, Sweden and Finland. Travel through some of Europe's most stylish capitals and be wowed by some of the world's biggest fjords. Visit Norway's uber-cool Oslo, travel to Sweden's vibrant Stockholm and explore Finland's hip Helsinki. Along the way, uncover a Viking past, learn of a maritime heritage and get swept up in Olympic fever. Whether it's walking along charming streets in Bergen or sailing through vast fjords, you'll undoubtedly be left with a multitude of picturesque memories from this once in a lifetime Scandinavian adventure.
Norway's fjords feature some of the most stunning scenery on Earth. Cruise past waterfalls and snow-capped peaks through the narrow Naeroyfjord
Discover Stockholm's maritime history at the Vasa Museum, which houses an original wooden war ship from 1628. This impressive vessel gives you a rare glimpse into the naval power Sweden was once famous for
Lakeside Mora's mix of landscapes proves just how darn stunning Sweden can be. Be charmed by tiny countryside villages, red cottages, pine forests, rolling meadows and sparkling lakes
Wind up your adventure in Helsinki for one last Scandinavian culture binge. Senate Square, the market hall, the sea fortress of Suomenlinna and the Design Museum are just some of the highlights of this amazing city
The areas visited on this trip can be very cold at night throughout the year, especially at the start and end of the season. Please bring appropriate clothing for adverse weather conditions, including base layers, hat, gloves, scarf, coat and anything else that you think may be applicable.
As accommodation on this trip is twin share, single travellers will share a room with another traveller of the same gender. The exception are the cabins in the Norwegian Fjords area where rooming may be mix-gender multi-share, and the overnight ferry to Helsinki, where accommodation will be quad-share. This trip is a great opportunity to get to know other like-minded people, so embrace it while you can. However, if you'd prefer not to share, a single room supplement is available at an additional charge (some exceptions may apply). Please ask your travel consultant for more details. Also, hotels in Europe often don't have double beds, but rather two single beds that can be pushed together/apart. Some accommodation on this trip may also have shared bathroom facilities.
This trip is designed to give you a fair amount of free time so you can explore each destination at your own pace. We will, however, take you on regular orientation walks, so you'll be on your feet quite a lot. While this may be tiring for some, it's the best way to get your head around a place and to set yourself up for further discoveries.
This itinerary is valid for departures from 01 January 2019 to 31 December 2019. View the itinerary for departures between 01 January 2018 - 15 September 2018
A Single Supplement is bookable on this trip, subject to availability at the time of booking. The price of the single supplement does not include the following nights, where a single room does not form part of the package. In this case you will be matched up with another traveller of the same gender. If a single room becomes available at check-in for these nights, there may be the option for you to upgrade to a single room and pay the surcharge locally for that night:
- Days 5-6 Norwegian Fjords
- Day 13 Overnight ferry
Please also note that due to the small properties we use in Europe there is only a limited amount of single supplements available per trip departure. If you would like to book a single supplement and enquire about availability please speak to your booking agent.
In order for our local operator to be able to buy ferry tickets we need your passport details. Please advise these at least 6 weeks prior to the trip's departure.
Our Scandinavia Explorer trips score an average of 4.58 out of 5 based on 43 reviews in the last year.
A good overview of some beautiful remote areas in Scandinavia as well as a thorough intro to the major cities.
