| I'm not a fan of MSE - but I still install it on most every computer that I support (and that is quite a few). MSE is easy on the resources and it gets along with other software. In particular, software that installs low level file filters like online backup apps. What I really do not like about MSE is its heuristics. It lets stuff happen that should never happen. It should at least ask the user if it is okay to add a shell app to this key: Code: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon I've been playing with malware like this for many years now and I have a feel for how the major AV tools work. AVAST flagged the ransomware file during the infection process (based on heuristics). As of this post, MSE is still fine with me installing this ransomware on a computer that it is "protecting". Before MSE was around, I installed AVAST and AVG on lots of computers that I support. I stopped using AVG when they started loading their signature list into the SYSTEM process. This was crippling weaker hardware. If AVAST would stop requiring repeated registration, I might use them for most of those that I support. My elderly users have incorrectly blamed that registration process for an uptick in SPAM and/or they call me to help them complete the annual reregistration :-( Microsoft Malware Protection Center Home Page Microsoft Security :: MSRC (Microsoft Security Response Center) | Security vulnerability |

| I have made those submissions many times in the past. I had not done so for this file (until now). I stopped giving MS an e-mail address on those submissions because the automated replies were not very interesting. Sometimes I save a link to the submission status page and check back from time to time. Another turn off to submitting such files to MS: About a year ago, I submitted a file to MS and had it confirmed as bad. Months later, I scanned multiple variations of that same file using MSE and none of them were flagged as bad. The infection method and the registry keys being changed were the same. As far as I could tell, the only changes to the infection were the IP addresses that it talked to. I will admit: 1) That was only one series of bad files that I watched to see if MS would make a heuristic rule for. But my opinion that MSE's heuristics are poor comes mostly from a direct comparison with other AV tools against the same infected file. 2) I'm not a professional programmer, so I might not understand when a heuristic rule can safely be implemented and when doing so would cause problems. But for the registry key mentioned in my last post, I really don't see why MS would let that happen without a warning. That method of starting a kiosk like shell is old. It does not require admin rights to write to that key, so a standard user can mess up his/her profile without knowing the admin password. 3) It is probably a waste of my time to download known infections just to play with them :-) |

Safe Mode with Command Prompt overrides the registry shell selection, so it circumvents the startup of the majority of todays ransomware and is the next fallback position: Quote: Trojan:Win32/Ransom.FS modifies the system registry so that it automatically starts at every Windows starts, even if Windows is restarted in Safe Mode: In subkey: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell Modifies value: "Shell" From data: "explorer.exe" To data: "<malware path and file name>" ...but you see my point: MS knows this is an issue and does not warn when apps change that area. Maybe those of you that customize your OS can tell me if there is a good reason not to warn a user each time this area is changed? |

| e.g.: a script to block network traffic unless a password was entered ways to keep kids from killing that script I probably could have learned that stuff quicker from books; hence my wondering if such playing was a waste of time. But such playing is indeed entertaining :-) Symantec's PC Tools antivirus was on the computers that ran that traffic blocking script of mine. PC Tools allows non-profits to use its AV app for free. AVG and AVAST charged non-profits. MSE was not around yet. MSE has been on those computers for years now and I've had to clean up after several infections. Here are two from that office: MSE's heuristics & Scareware Trojan:Win32/FakeSysdef I do understand the problem of keeping out new threats, but both of those infections were from threats that had been in the wild for months. A 3rd infection spread throughout the network and wiped exe files from the server. Fortunately for them, I had daily backups. By the way, I had to remove TeamViewer from those computers. TV charges non-profits too. |

| Run several free on-demand scanners like Malwarebytes, Hitman Pro, ESET Online Scanner, Kaspersky tdss killer, etc. If all of these scans come back clean, create a system image. If you like MSE. continue using it. If MSE fails and your machine becomes infected, you can use the system image to restore it to a non-infected state. Then find a new AV. |

As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. present-day theory, the atoms in a chunk of metal sit in an orderly, three-dimensional array, but each atom typically contributes one or two electrons that are free to roam throughout the lattice. Together, these itinerant ITINERANT. Travelling or taking a journey. In England there were formerly judges called Justices itinerant, who were sent with commissions into certain counties to try causes. electrons form a kind of electronic "sea' that gives a material its metallic quality. The physical question is whether clusters containing only a few dozen atoms still display the magnetic, electrical and optical properties shown by the corresponding bulk metal. At some point, as the number of atoms in a cluster decreases, these tiny chunks of matter must lose their metallic character, and the electrons should no longer be free. In the March 21 NATURE, Peter P. Edwards and his colleagues at the University of Cambridge in England and Cornell University Cornell University, mainly at Ithaca, N.Y.; with land-grant, state, and private support; coeducational; chartered 1865, opened 1868. It was named for Ezra Cornell, who donated $500,000 and a tract of land. With the help of state senator Andrew D. in Ithaca, N.Y., report that certain magnetic properties characteristic of the bulk metal begin to appear when as few as 10 metal atoms are present. Although this result isn't necessarily true for other properties like electrical conductivity, it is an important step in probing the evolution of metallic characteristics. The Cornell-Cambridge group investigated a set of molecular cluster compounds that consist of a clump of osmium osmium (ŏz`mēəm), metallic chemical element; symbol Os; at. no. 76; at. wt. 190.2; m.p. 3,045±30°C;; b.p. 5,027±100°C;; sp. gr. 22.57 at 20°C;; valence usually +0 to +8. atoms surrounded by a protective sheath sheath (sheth) a tubular case or envelope. arachnoid sheath the continuation of the arachnoidea mater around the optic nerve, forming part of its internal sheath. of carbon monoxide carbon monoxide, chemical compound, CO, a colorless, odorless, tasteless, extremely poisonous gas that is less dense than air under ordinary conditions. It is very slightly soluble in water and burns in air with a characteristic blue flame, producing carbon dioxide; molecules. In effect, each cluster has a tiny piece of metal at its center, while the sheath prevents the metal cores from aggregating to form larger particles of bulk metal. By measuring the magnetic susceptibility Magnetic susceptibility The magnetization of a material per unit applied field. It describes the magnetic response of a substance to an applied magnetic field. of these clusters, the researchers discovered that as the unmber of osmium atoms in a cluster goes from three to 10, the material increasingly takes on the magnetic properties expected of osmium metal. The researchers now plan to extend their studies to larger clusters containing up to 40 metal atoms. This could reveal the stage at which electrons, initially bound to particular atoms, are actually set free within a material. Studies of large clusters may also help industrial chemists, for example, get a better idea of how big a metal particle must be before it acts effectively and selectively as a catalyst in a chemical reaction. "There are certainly lots of systems in which metallic particles are used extensively,' says Edwards. "At the moment, the physics and chemistry of these particles is not clear.' In the future, by specifying the number of metal atoms needed within constituent particles, it may be possible to custom design improved catalysts, photographic emulsions Noun 1. photographic emulsion - a light-sensitive coating on paper or film; consists of fine grains of silver bromide suspended in a gelatin emulsion coating, coat - a thin layer covering something; "a second coat of paint" , magnetic recording media, pigments and other products.

Headset Gives Truck Drivers Hands-Free Cell Phone Use
Each year more states and provinces enact restrictions on the use of hand-held cell phones while driving. That's why more truck drivers are looking at hands-free options to answer calls on their cell phones while out on the road.
Renton, WA-based PACCAR Parts introduces the MIRREX Bluetooth-enabled headset designed specifically for the truck environment. The headset features noise cancellation technology that filters out background sound.
Its rechargeable lithium battery offers up to 14 hours of talk time and 20 days of standby time per charge. The kit includes two chargers, a 12-volt vehicle charger and a 110-volt home charger. Drivers can adjust the boom microphone to work for them whether they're right-handed or left-handed. The cushioned earpiece and adjustable headband makes it easy for drivers, especially those who wear glasses, to wear the headset and talk for hours without fatigue.
Three multi-function buttons on the side of the headset offer drivers fingertip control of volume and a number of calling features, including last number redial, call transfer and voice dial with cell phones with voice recognition.

How Do I Become a Nonprofit Manager?
If you read the last post on nonprofit management and are interested in learning more, then perhaps a role as a nonprofit manager is right for you. So now the question is, what's the best way to pursue such a role?
As you might expect, there are many paths and none of them is necessarily right; it really depends on each individual's interests and talents, and the specific opportunities available.
However, there are some timeless truths for managers. Many of these are described at length in other sections of the IHS Policy Career Guide, so I will only give details for those that are not covered elsewhere:
• A graduate degree can help, but is not required.
• Personnel management is usually required. There is a huge difference between project/program management and personnel management. The latter, as mentioned above, is much more challenging, and many folks are not good at it. If you have experience and skills with managing people, you are in a much better position to earn a management role and command a higher salary. If you don't have such experience, try to take on a project in which you will have to supervise an intern or an assistant. That is a good start.
• Be someone who gets things done.
• Be entrepreneurial. Don't just talk and gripe. Instead, take action, seize opportunities, and solve problems. Being entrepreneurial is how you get things done. So, for example, when you run into a problem, don't just go to your boss with your hands in the air (doing so exports your work to your boss— which is not good). Instead, when you have a problem, go to your boss with a clear understanding of the problem, an analysis of ways to potentially solve the problem, and your recommendation. Then, your boss can simply react to your analysis and recommendation, and you win points for being entrepreneurial and getting things done.
• Don't be a mercenary. Both growing within a single organization and moving around a bit have their advantages. Of course, it's fine to change jobs when the right opportunity comes around. But you don't want to be (or earn a reputation as) a job-hopper who can't commit, doesn't know what she wants, and/or can't live up to her obligations.
• Be humble.
Chad Thevenot is the Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for the Institute for Humane Studies. This post is an excerpt from the Management chapter of the IHS Policy Career Guide. The next excerpt from this chapter will discuss some of the challenges faced by nonprofit managers.
Serving in a management role in the nonprofit sector is intellectually rewarding and relatively lucrative (compared to many other nonprofit roles). But, from my experience, most folks in nonprofit management roles end up there by accident—some for the better, some for the worse. Perhaps this is largely because many people starting out on their career path do not know what nonprofit managers do exactly, and even if they do, they don't know how to navigate their way into such a role. In this section, I try to shed some light on these two questions.
What Is Nonprofit Management?
At a meta level, management—in the nonprofit sector or otherwise —is about creating and maintaining an environment in which limited resources are deployed to create as much value as possible—that is, creating an environment in which people can "mix their labor" with resources (software, desks, etc.) to succeed in creating something of value. In the nonprofit sector, the value being created is generally a social outcome, such as a more-informed public. Creating a productive environment generally involves:
1) Obtaining and developing resources: This includes fundraising, obtaining equipment and technology, hiring staff, training, contracting with vendors, etc.
2) Setting and Aligning Expectations: Making sure each person on the team knows exactly what outcomes they're trying to achieve, giving them a roadmap for how to achieve those outcomes, clarifying what resources and decisions they have discretion over, and aligning their incentives to pursue those outcomes.
3) Facilitating Good Communications and Integration of Efforts: In most, if not all, operations, it's absolutely critical for staff to share relevant information with others in a timely manner; this helps avoid problems caused by lack of communication or miscommunication, and it improves the ability of the team to understand and leverage each other's efforts.
4) Providing "Leadership": Without stepping into the longstanding debate about the meaning of this term, I can say confidently that managers must help develop and articulate a clear vision and strategy that staff genuinely believe in and thus pursue doggedly. The manager also helps to shape the organizational culture by communicating and living the values of the organization and making sure that organizational policies and processes are consistent with those values.
5) Making Decisions: Decisions should be made throughout all corners of an organization. But managers tend to have discretion over many relatively complex, important decisions.
So, how do these somewhat abstract responsibilities translate into day-to-day activities? That is, what is the job like at a more tactile level? Here is a non-exhaustive list of some of the everyday activities of a nonprofit manager:
1) Lots of Meetings: With department heads to engage in day-to-day problem solving, provide guidance, and share information; with current and potential donors; with senior managers to discuss strategy; with allies to leverage or facilitate their efforts; and more. (Done right, such meetings aren't drudgery; they can actually be very interesting and productive.)
2) Conceptualizing, Strategizing, and Writing: This includes thinking about and creating multiple iterations of strategic plans, budgets, reports, and proposals. (It's worth noting that drafting proposals is surprisingly productive in helping to conceptualize your vision and strategy, so it's not just the rote activity of putting words to paper.)
3) Hiring and Vetting Applications, Interviewing Candidates, and Making hiring decisions: Getting the right people into the right roles is one of the most important things you do as a manager, because the difference between an average performer and an A+ performer is not small; it's an order of magnitude difference that drives organizational success and makes your life easier.
4) Individualized Coaching and Mentoring: Talking with individual staff as needed to understand their needs, act as a sounding board for their ideas, help solve problems, etc. (Your goal is to help them succeed, because their success is your success.)

BT Sport launch leaves Virgin Media customers in the dark
Viewers will finally get their first glimpse of BT Sport on Thursday evening (1 August 2013) following months of buildup - but Virgin Media customers are no closer to finding out when they'll be able to access the channels, if at all.
The 'will they, won't they' saga between BT and Virgin has been dragging on for weeks - if not months - now, punctuated by periodic statements from one of the two companies that suggest some progress is being made towards finalising a carriage agreement.
But with BT Sport launching at 18:00 BST tonight, little appears to have changed. Virgin Media says it is always striving to provide customers with "the best possible value and breadth of high-quality content", and insists that discussions with BT are ongoing over "how we could make the forthcoming BT Sport package available".
For its part, BT stresses that it's open to doing a deal with Virgin Media, but that no wholesale agreement has been finalised so far.
All of which means that while BT TV and Sky Sports households are tuning in for the first time this evening, Virgin subscribers will be left wondering what they're missing out on.
To make matters even more frustrating for the cable company's customers, even Freeview homes will be able to watch BT Sport tonight - the launch is being broadcast at channel 57 on the free-to-air platform.
Virgin customers are understandably pretty peeved about the situation. Not only are they unable to access BT Sport, but they've also recently had to put up with the loss of ESPN, which was previously available free of charge to Virgin Media XL TV subscribers.
Of course, all of this will be forgotten about and forgiven if the two parties are able to get their heads together and iron out a deal before BT Sport really kicks into gear later this month, with the start of the new Barclays Premier League season. But if they can't manage this, the Virgin Media customer base could be hit by an exodus of unhappy sports fans.

Early Life Health Interventions and Academic Achievement
This paper studies the effect of improved neonatal health care on mortality and long run academic achievement in school. We use the idea that medical treatments often follow rules of thumb for assigning care to patients, such as the classification of Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW), which assigns infants special care at a specific birth weight cutoff. Using detailed administrative data on schooling and birth records from Chile and Norway, we establish that children who receive extra medical care at birth have lower mortality rates and higher test scores and grades in school. These gains are in the order of 0.15-0.22 standard deviations.Download Info

SummaryIn fission yeast, RNAi directs heterochromatin formation at centromeres, telomeres, and the mating type locus. Noncoding RNAs transcribed from repeat elements generate siRNAs that are incorporated into the Argonaute-containing RITS complex and direct it to nascent homologous transcripts. This leads to recruitment of the CLRC complex, including the histone methyltransferase Clr4, promoting H3K9 methylation and heterochromatin formation. A key question is what mediates the recruitment of Clr4/CLRC to transcript-bound RITS. We have identified a LIM domain protein, Stc1, that is required for centromeric heterochromatin integrity. Our analyses show that Stc1 is specifically required to establish H3K9 methylation via RNAi, and interacts both with the RNAi effector Ago1, and with the chromatin-modifying CLRC complex. Moreover, tethering Stc1 to a euchromatic locus is sufficient to induce silencing and heterochromatin formation independently of RNAi. We conclude that Stc1 associates with RITS on centromeric transcripts and recruits CLRC, thereby coupling RNAi to chromatin modification.

SummaryHeterochromatic gene silencing at the pericentromeric DNA repeats in fission yeast requires the RNA interference (RNAi) machinery. The RNA-induced transcriptional silencing (RITS) complex mediates histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) methylation and recruits the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase complex (RDRC) to promote double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) synthesis and siRNA generation. Here we show that ectopic expression of a long hairpin RNA bypasses the requirement for chromatin-dependent steps in siRNA generation. The ability of hairpin-produced siRNAs to silence homologous sequences in trans is subject to local chromatin structure, requires HP1, and correlates with antisense transcription at the target locus. Furthermore, although hairpin siRNAs can be produced in the absence of RDRC, trans-silencing of reporter genes by hairpin-produced siRNAs is completely dependent on the dsRNA synthesis activity of RDRC. These results provide insights into the regulation of siRNA action and reveal roles for cis-dsRNA synthesis and HP1 in siRNA-mediated heterochromatin assembly.

SummaryRNAi-mediated heterochromatin assembly in fission yeast requires the RNA-induced transcriptional silencing (RITS) complex and a putative RNA-directed RNA polymerase (Rdp1). Here we show that Rdp1 is associated with two conserved proteins, Hrr1, an RNA helicase, and Cid12, a member of the polyA polymerase family, in a complex that has RNA-directed RNA polymerase activity (RDRC, RNA-directed RNA polymerase complex). RDRC physically interacts with RITS in a manner that requires the Dicer ribonuclease (Dcr1) and the Clr4 histone methyltransferase. Moreover, both complexes are localized to the nucleus and associate with noncoding centromeric RNAs in a Dcr1-dependent manner. In cells lacking Rdp1, Hrr1, or Cid12, RITS complexes are devoid of siRNAs and fail to localize to centromeric DNA repeats to initiate heterochromatin assembly. These findings reveal a physical and functional link between Rdp1 and RITS and suggest that noncoding RNAs provide a platform for siRNA-dependent localization of RNAi complexes to specific chromosome regions.

Add/View Comments (0)The Methyltransferase Activity of Clr4Suv39h Triggers RNAi Independently of Histone H3K9 Methylation
Erica L. Gerace1, Mario Halic1 and Danesh Moazed1, ,
Corresponding authorGraphical Abstract
► Clr4Suv39h methyltransferase activity promotes its association with RNAi ► siRNA generation from centromeric dg and dh repeats depends on Clr4 activity ► dg siRNA generation occurs independently of H3K9 methylation ► The Rik1 protein links the RITS and RDRC RNAi complexes to the Clr4 complex, CLRC
- In fission yeast, the pericentromeric dg and dh repeats are transcribed and give rise to small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) by a mechanism that depends on the Clr4suv39h histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) methyltransferase. Here, we show that Clr4 activity promotes the assembly of a tripartite complex composed of the Clr4-containing CLRC complex and complexes involved in siRNA generation. However, unlike dh siRNAs, dg siRNAs accumulate to near wild-type levels in cells with H3K9 substitutions that cannot be methylated. Thus, Clr4 activity controls siRNA amplification from the different repeat regions by different mechanisms, H3K9 methylation dependent versus independent. Furthermore, artificial tethering of Rik1, a core subunit of the CLRC complex, to a euchromatic RNA mediates RNAi-dependent silencing that partially bypasses the requirement for other CLRC subunits. These findings establish Rik1 as a key link between CLRC and RNAi and reveal distinct centromeric siRNA amplification mechanisms that depend on the Clr4 methyltransferase activity.

Thieves have made off with a truck full of the PC version of Assassin's Creed 3.
Unfortunately for relatively small population of PC gamers in Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, this truck contained the entire PC-format shipment of that game bound for those regions.
According to local reports (via Kotaku) the robbery took place on November 14. Ubisoft insists that the game's launch will go unaffected thanks to stock being hastily redirected from other regions.
It does, however, spell disaster for those who pre-ordered the limited 'Join or Die' editions of the game, as those apparently cannot be reproduced.
Ubisoft has reportedly blocked all the serial numbers associated with the stolen games.

Do you have any questions or requests for Blue or Bella? Whether you're curious about an aspect of a Korean culture or history that you observed in a drama, have questions about the Korean language, have a translation request that you're dying to find out (but please, no request to sub an entire show, unless that show is *ahem* titled Sungkyunkwan Scandal – applies to Blue only), or have a request that we dedicate a post to any particular subject, please ask away! The only restriction is that your questions or requests must in some way or form be connected to the Korean entertainment culture/industry (dramas, movies, music, celebrities, etc), but this connection is loosely defined. We'll try to answer them as best as we can!

Oh boy, seeing hanboks in The Princess' man really making me want to wear one ^^
Dear B&B, which figure do you think best to wear hanbok? Slim, a bit chubby, petite, tall? Cuz my friends went to Korea, and took pictures wearing them, it turned out didn't look as good as in the drama, so I wondered. And what do you call a man's garb in opposite to the hanbok? Thanks.
Oh-uh, just saw Bella dropped PM, and I thought I would try that, oh nooo!
Hi kcomments!
I don't think there is an ideal figure to wear a hanbok. It's not very form-fitting, so it can suit any body types. That said, I personally think hanbok doesn't look as good on very tall people. Also, perhaps because I've seen hanbok worn mostly by Koreans, but I've always thought hanboks looked best when matched with a darker hair color. For example, when Paris Hilton and Britney Spears wore a hanbok on their visit to Korea, it didn't look very good.Hanbok literally means "Korean clothing." And thus, it is a word for all traditional Korean clothes, whether men's or women's. There are different words for each garment though. I thought this was a very good blog post on hanboks:
Thanks Blue ^_^
Hi ^^ so, I saw that Lee Dong Wook was recently the guest of SBS "Healing Camp"… and I wonder does Bella/blue like him? Wonder if a recap is possible, not demanding just asking… but if not I understand ^^~
Hehe, I'm a step ahead of you. I left my Monday night free since I saw the preview last week so that I can work on the recap. Hope it turns out to be a good episode! *crosses fingers*
Yay! hehehe ^^ Hope it's a good episode too!
Really want to say thanks for the efforts put forth in educating me in better understanding the korean culture in context to the dramas and movies that I love. Up front I'll apologize for my poor writing skills.
My entry kworld entertainment was the movie "3-Iron'. Hooked me further into kmovies, kdramas, kvariety, kculture.
As Koreans in America, I'd love to get your thoughts on kdramas and kmovies global exposure and acceptance.
And, do you feel that some of the poorly subbed videos that you mention are a deterrent to this acceptance or is it irrelevant because those of us who don't understand the language are grateful for any subs that we can get our hands on?
Thanks for your time.
I'm sure business-wise, the industry must be happy to get that exposure because it means more money for them.
But for me personally, as a fan, I'm just happy that there are more people to share my addiction with. As for the poorly subbed videos, I do think they prevent the audience from getting a full grasp of the quality of the shows sometimes. Some dramas really have brilliant dialogues, but they can only be as good as how good the translators are, right? But then again, some dramas really have poor dialogues, and people can just as easily overlook that.
That said, as subbing groups become more well-established, I did notice that the overall quality of the subs have gone up.
Thanks for your input Blue. As a kworld addict, I appreciate all of you who willingly share knowledge with people like me. As a linguist, but not a korean one, there is always something lost in translation especially with cultures whose (right one?) humor is so much about word-play. And yet, I still watch what I can and appreciate anything translated.
With Korea's interest in pushing kentertainment global, I hope they find a way to incentivize subbing groups to showcase different kinds of entertainment for the international fans. It's a pity that some very funny people aren't recognized internationally because of a lack of translation. I hope one day, shows like Taxi and Muhan Girls get the exposure they deserve. Same goes for some really great radio show personalities that Korea is fortunate to call their own.
Thanks again.
dear B&B, thank you so much for the beautiful website.. I was able to get information about korean culture, (tho I have to steal some time from our office hours to browse your page..kekeke) kudos to both of you.. kamsamhamnida!!!!!
hi B&B, I was wondering… how do kids/teenagers address adult strangers? for example if there were someone famous whose name they know, do they call them "*insert-name-here*-ssi"? or is there a different honorific to be used? thanks so much!!
No, never by the name. It would be considered rude.
Instead, an adult male stranger would simply be ahjussi and an adult female stranger would be ahjumma. If the strangers are younger, "oppa" and "unni" would be more appropriate. If the strangers are senior citizens, the kids/teenagers should call them "grandfather" (harabeoji) or "grandmother" (halmeoni).
If the stranger is well-respected, "seonsaengnim" (teacher) would be a good title to use, even if that person is not really a teacher.
hi B&B, just wondering if you have finished TPM already. If you have, what are your thoughts on the drama?
Hi gella!
Yes, I've finished it. Although it didn't win me over heart and soul, objectively, I thought it was a very well-produced, well-written, and well-acted drama… and my vote for the best drama of 2011 so far.But personally, I was really frustrated with the male character (not the actor) and found many things he did to be pretty idiotic. I know that the drama is fictional within the realm of a historical background and so his revenge had to fail, but I still would have preferred if the downfall was brought by the circumstances, and not by the characters' continued blunders.
That said, if you have not watched it yet, I'd definitely recommend it.
hi again B&B! I'm marathoning some sageuks right now and I'm curious about some things.
why the way of addressing people older than you as 'eonni' and 'hyung' were reversed, like the former for men and the latter for women? also, what's the exact meaning of 'orabeoni'?
thanks in advance!
They're not necessarily reversed, but there are actually multiple definitions for those words. For instance, when a woman calls an older woman by hyung, I can guarantee it'll always be as "hyungnim." It's pretty long to go over it here right now, but I PROMISE I'll cover the multiple definitions of hyung and unni… someday.
As for orabeoni, it's an archaic way of saying "oppa."
hi blue and bella. i just want to ask if you are going to recap Healing camp feat. jang hyuk? if yes! i would be very thankful..
I'm considering it, but it's not on my priority list. I'm not much of a fan of Jang Hyuk…
But if he wins me over in "Tree With Deep Roots", his "Healing Camp" recap might just show up here too!

Dear B&B,
i really wish u can do the mini-documentary on the house/location that appear in drama.I mean,after watching a lot of kdrama, it just occur that many drama use the same house.I would love to know more..thanks..
Hi tun teja,
Interesting topic! Most of our past posts have been on those that I knew already, whereas this topic will require much research. But I'd be interested in doing this topic somewhere down the line. Thanks for your suggestion!
Hi Blue and Bella!
I would like to transfer to my own domain too and I just wanna ask people who already did it as for where did you register your domain name and what hosting plans are you currently using? I'm reading tons of articles on how to set up my own site but I think it would be more informative and helpful to learn from someone who just did it. And the two of you are very approachable and lovely (I love the live chat!) so I just wanna ask. Thanks in advance!
Hi whoopeeyoo!
I just emailed you via the email you used to write the above comment! Let me know if you don't get it. You're welcome to ask me anytime if you ever need any help. Best of luck!

I just had a not so quick question on pronouns in Korean that I am too lazy to look up elsewhere. I initially thought spoken Korean didn't use pronouns like he or she because in conversations, I always notice the person's name is used when it is translated as he, she, you, etc. But I was rewatching Coffee Prince and noticed that in the big reveal of the she, it was translated something to the effect of why "Why do you keep calling him and her" which had me reevaluate the potential for pronouns in the Korean language. Can you please fill in some of the gaps in this non-questiony question. Thanks.
There are pronouns in the Korean language. Like you mentioned, they're just often omitted because a sentence can be grammatically correct even without pronouns. Without knowing the actual words that were used in the conversation you mentioned, I have no idea whether the characters actually used pronouns or whether it was implied by the subbers. Either one of them is possible.
Hello Blue.
Several months ago I stumble onto your site but forgot to bookmark. I crazily search for weeks. Finally I'm here. Can i please request you to translate the full song to Jo Su Mi "If I leave" sung by Kim Jung In.
Can you please translate the whole song. I know she only sing half but please translate the full song. I've been looking for the english translation everywhere and you have the best translation i found.
Hi Bella and Blue! Have either of you watched Brain so far? What is your opinion of the drama so far?
Hi Grinchmas!
Sorry for getting back so late to you. I have been watching Brain on and off, but my "review" of the drama will be coming in a separate review. In short, the best thing about that drama is the actors. Otherwise, I think it's a pretty crazy drama.
malta (also 1Love / InLove)
Dear B&B,
I follow your Korean Language and Culture Series and I have a language question. I've been watching Baker King Kim Tak Gu recently and I noticed that the young version of Tak Gu and his Mom seem to speak slightly differently than everybody else. Their intonation, rhythm of speaking and some of the words they use seem different. Are they speaking an even more formal Korean or is it a dialect or simply an accent? Tak Gu's is very heavy and noticeable in the first few episodes while his Mom's is less so.
Happy New Year-
You're correct! Tak Gu and his mom spoke in a dialect from the region of Gyeongsang Province. But when people refer to dialects, you may think that the language is different enough that people may not be able to understand each other. (For instance, those speaking in Mandarin and Cantonese may not be able to understand each other.) In contrast, the different dialects of Korean are of the same language, but as you have mentioned, the intonation and some of the words used are different. But they're close enough that all Koreans understand each other.
Maybe this is a long shot, but at this point I pretty much assume that you guys know everything. Do you happen to know what song this is?
I think there's a good chance it's from a musical, and I feel like I should know what it is (which is driving me crazy). No one has been able to identify it so far, so don't feel bad if you can't either
Koreans (in Korea) were unable to identify it either. People are guessing that it is an original song made for the drama. Very nice song though!
Thanks for looking into it Blue!
I managed to navigate a few korean sites while searching, but only ever found lyrics with no title, so your answer makes perfect sense. I'm actually sort of happy that it's original because that gives more credit to the drama, but if they're going to put all that effort into writing a song they should at least give it a name! I feel bad for What's Up…it probably has the most interesting soundtrack out of all the musical dramas, and it doesn't even seem like they're going to release a full OST :S
Thanks again I feel much more at ease now that I know I'm not crazy for not being able to figure it out.
Dear B&B *waves*
I need your expertise!
I bought a package of instant Chajang Myun (that's how it's written on the package) from NONGSHIM. How do you usually cook yours? I'm a bit confused, do you pour the water out after boiling? And add vegetable oil too? Thanks!
From Hungry gal ^_^-
Yikes, this reply is so late! Hopefully you were able to enjoy yours already? But yes, after cooking the noodles in boiling water, pour out the water. And then add the packet of sauce and vegetable oil. Let me know how you liked it!
Man, sooooo glad you're back, nop, afraid to ruin it, been waiting for your technique first hehe. But veg oil? Will try and let you know, thanks!
Ahh, one more thing. You must throw out the water, but don't completely drain it. You need some moisture in order to mix the powder sauce. Good luck and bon appetit, my dear!
Duh..too late, I tried it already! And of course, I drained all the water out and it was so dry I had Sprite to go with it , haha.
Sorry to say, it was not good compared to the actual cooked one. It felt like instant noodle mixed with the black thing, and tasted like instant noodle O_O I know, it might be my expertise in cooking that couldn't even cook this thing right. I think next time, I should resort to a Korean restaurant. Thanks for your help though *cover face in shame-run to clean the bowl used*
HI, dear B&B~
I see your twitter and then find your blog. I am inpressed by your introduction.
I saw what yoy wrote above in the pag, but…
I want to make sub for one tv show but need korean translator.
Is the any chance to help me?
This tv program is only 2 episodes with Lee Jun KI and I have korean script for it.
I really need someone who is fluently with Korean and English, but ot hard to find such person. So in your face I see a person who can help me. Please…
I hope you will reply me and sorry for disturbing.
Sorry for the late reply! I'm glad you're enjoying the blog! Which show with Lee Jun Ki? Honestly, I'm so busy right now and won't be able to commit to anything, but I hope you were able to find someone to help you since you last posted!
when are you gonna wirte about chapter 7 and so forth of the book "the moon that embraces the sun"
I've been watching Fermentation Family (kimchi Family) recently. At the very end of episode 2 our heroine and her sister sing a beautiful song. Do you know what song that is? Is it a traditional Korean song? I would like to know what it is so I can try to find a version to buy. I'm not sure, but this song doesn't seem to be on the OST… Thanks!
Hi, malta! I'm not aware of the song, but according to this article, it seems like it was a song made specifically for the drama.
aww…love that song. Thanks for the article. Now I'm convinced again that I need to take learn Korean!

Hello, this is KWave magazine. We would like to ask you some collaboration work with us. We would love to send you our company descriptions and other things.
please e-mail me. Thanks! -
Not all Koreans This one had so much difficulty understanding, she dropped the drama. Plus listening to them talking like that is catchy. Sort of makes you want to imitate them cuz the way the tone goes up and down is as fun as pretending to speak with an Irish accent.
thanks for the info about which Province the dialect came from Blue. Whenever I go to jejudo, I barely understand anything anyone says there too. I guess you have to be fluent in Korean to begin with to understand all the dialects. that's probably why I try not to leave Seoul too often. Cuz outside of Seoul, I have to face reality that I am not a native Korean – the word foreigner is stamped all over my face with my "huh? Come again – could you repeat that" expression. -
I'm hoping you guys can shed light on a certain curiosity of mine. This might be a "K-language and culture" issue or maybe it won't be, but I'm still very curious. And the first people I thought of are you guys. So basically, I don't know if there is any cultural significance of the wind chime/bell with a fish that I see hanging from the eaves so often on K-dramas/K-television, but every time I see it, I can't stop thinking about it. Is it just a decoration in high demand, or is there any significance to its presence? Thank you very much.
Hello bella and blue, do you by chance know how to search or check ratings of kdramas episodes? You know It's so hard to find news about it, there is a site that shows the ratings of the kdrama of the day or something like this?
Or how is "ratings" in korean? So I can out the name of the drama (in korean) plus the ratings in korean and maybe find something…
Yikes, I'm sorry I was so late in responding to your question. I just saw it now.
Korea generally uses either the TNS ratings or the AGB Nielsen ratings. You would need to be able to read Korean, but they can be found here:
TNS – http://home.tnms.tv/rating/main.asp
AGB – http://www.agbnielsen.co.kr/index.asp?ref=0
This is such an awkward question and I am not even sure how to ask you. I am brown-skinned New Yorker thinking of going to Korea to teach English next year through a scholarship. I started watching dramas about 2 years ago and have become completely enamored of Korean culture and people. I was researching Korea and was so surprised to read about racism in Korea. Is it just American media hyping everything up or are foreigners really not welcomed in Korea? I hope you don't take offense at my question! I love South Korea and don't want that to change by actually going there. Imagine how awful it will be if I come back and am never able to watch a drama again.-
No, you're welcome to ask any questions and that's why this is here!
Yours is a tricky question, and I think "Ask A Korean" already did an excellent and thorough job answering that exact question. And my response would be the same as his. But the gist is that although there are racist attitudes shared by some (not all) in Korea, it is very unlikely that you will actually experience any of it as a tourist or you would in fact be considered un-welcomed. Anyway, here is AAK's answer:
If you decide to go, I hope you enjoy your stay!
Hi Blue & Bella! Thanks for your informative Korean culture series!
I have a question. I've been watching "Can We Get Married" and I'm a little perplexed about some of the wedding related stuff. What does it mean for a bride-to-be to "buy the bottom drawer?" And why does she have to buy expensive wedding gifts for her in-laws?

Out having a taco . . .
133 posts
• Page 1 of 5 • 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Out having a taco . . .Bob Griese just made a formal apology on national TV (NCAA Football) for an 'inappropriate comment' made about NASCAR driver, Juan Montoya. When talking about the NASCAR standings, Griese was asked where Colombian Montoya was, and Griese said, "Out having a taco."
It was an inane statement, i.e., a failed attempt at humor. but did it require a national apology? I'm not clear on the offense. Is it offensive that a Hispanic might eat a taco? If it was a German and he had said, "Out having a bratwurst." would that be offensive? Italian, spaghetti? Brit, blood pudding?
Re: Out having a taco . . . Yes, yes, and I'll let one of our British friends opine on the blood pudding.
Re: Out having a taco . . . So if I'm overseas and someone asks where I am and someone else answers, 'out getting a hot dog,' I should be offended? I think not. I'd just laugh and roll my eyes at the weak attempt at humor.
Fuzzy Zoeller says that this much ado about nothing.
I guess my puzzlement is WHY people feel the need to BE offended? I just can't get up the interest to be insulted by something that innocuous. Did Griese INTEND to slight Montoya? Would Montoya himself be seriously offended? Or was it just a weak attempt at humor? If we need to apologize for having weak senses of humor, most of us here would be doing nothing but apologizing!!
What I've observed is that the majority/oppressor demographic group is never as offended by these slights as the minority/oppressed demographic group. For example, whenever I hear women cracks jokes about or demean men, I just laugh or brush it off, but women don't react the same when we do it to them. Let's face it, historically women have caught hell from us, not the other way around. Similarly, I don't get too worked up whenever I hear someone insult or demean Catholics, because historically, we've been an oppressor faith, not an oppressed one. The exception to this is Ireland, where Catholics have caught hell from Protestants for centuries, and predictably, Irish Catholics are as sensitive about their faith as Jews and Muslims. However, my race is something that I wear on my sleeve, and anyone who's familiar with American history should be able to understand why Black Americans are much more sensitive to this type of humor than White Americans.
I think its a bit more difficult for you to uderstand when you're not part of a gruop that has been marginalized in the past by such innocent appearing comments. Here's a hypothetical situation for you. Suppose you're at a heated school meeting with the pricnicipal and several teachers. That principal usually has a habit of saying...let's take a day to go home, have a steak dinner, and continue this tomorrow. However, in this instance he turns to the black teacher and says....you go have a bucket of fried chicken....he tells the asian teacher, you go home and have an egg roll, and he eventually tells the latino teacher --you go home and have a taco. Surely you could see how those 3 individuals would be offended by that principal's "innocent" suggestion of a typical meal?
I guess it is my mWASP status that makes this so, but I have never had any trouble laughing off attempted insults. Why give the offender the power to hurt you? I usually just feel sorry for them that they feel the need to belittle. And I would NEVER take a 'taco'-type statement as being offensive.
Marlow, your male WASP status (and mine) means we're automatically assumed to be in the position of power. That blinds us to how others view the relationships of power that our society hands out.
All of these are examples of statements meant to put someone in their place, to give the speaker power over those spoken to. Diversity in its many forms (racial, religious, ethnic, gender, sexuality, etc.) really isn't an issue until issues of unequal power come into play. Which is more or less what I tell white students who ask me why they can't call a black kid a n***** if (some) black kids use the word themselves. I ask them 1) why do you want to use it? and 2) if you recognize its use when you're in the minority would result in a ass-whuppin' of epic proportions, then you understand it's a word that means unequal power. And I remind them if they use it in my presence, they'll get in serious trouble AND I can't protect them once the final bell rings.
But doesn't one need some major insecurity issues to ALLOW someone to take 'power' over you through words? I get that my mWASP position makes me less vulnerable, but can't ANYone feel secure enough to laugh it off. Zora Neale Hurston, a black Southern female writer in the 20s and 30s, was always AMAZED that anyone would try to put her in her 'place', because she knew how amazing she was!
Right. And we've had 1 black female senator in the entire history of the USA, and zero black female governors or supreme court justices. There's relationships of status, which are in the eye of the beholder, and then there are relationships of power, which are dynamic but very real. Ethnic and racial slurs are insulting because they reference unequal relationships of power between broad groups of people.
Agreed. I just can't see how 'out eating a taco (or bratwurst or hot dog)' keeps the haves having and the have-nots not. In any case, I cede the point, because OBVIOUSLY it must be a problem or ESPN and Griese wouldn't be reacting as they are. I have yet to see that anyone actually said they WERE offended, but I'm sure that will be forthcoming shortly. edit - I see a blogger has made the comment, "Well, Griese is the color guy in the booth, isn't he?"
It doesn't maintain the power structure. It's an in-your-face reminder of the power structure, kind of like marching season in Northern Ireland.
You don't need to feel insecure or powerless in order to be offended by words or indirect actions. A good example would be flag burning as a form of protest. It offends some, while others see it as a form of protest. Many Americans see this country as "Amazing". Shouldn't those same people laugh off such feeble attempts by individuals attempting to rile them up?
Flag burning is a constitutionally-protected right (IMO) and I see flag-burners the same way I see anyone who tries to put down the USA - that's so sad that these individuals are so clueless to the Big Picture and/or unhappy in their own lives that they have to resort to these kinds of actions. It certainly does not ever make me angry or think less of the USA. It's a reflection of those people trying to 'protest' a great nation (not that we don't have our faults too), not of the nation itself.
When you throw out subjective phrases like "too sensitive", it's all in the eyes of the beholder.
From reading your post, it would appear that you have more of a reaction to this form of protest than I do. When I see flag burners, I have the same reaction that I have when I see a group of folks watching a bonfire. And I'm guessing that the Jeremiah Wright videos bothered you somewhat, while I thought they were funny. Perhaps this is the point TrakFan is trying to make.
They don't bother me at all - but I didn't think they were funny - I just feel really sorry for him, that his life has taught him to believe that kind of stuff.
Ethic slurs ex catedra are always offensive to me. I don't care, who the person is, Griese, or Wright or whoever from the long list of offenders.
Like this ethics slur on lawyers?
Did Wright ever make any ethnic slurs on those videos? If so, I definitely wouldn't find that humorous. However, I will concede that he criticized the U.S. using unncessarily inflammatory rhetoric. I sometimes wonder if it's even possible for a WASP male to know what it feels like to be a member of a minority demographic group that has been historically discriminated against. I think that when you are a member of one of these groups, you have a frame of reference for other groups. For example, on election night and the day after the election, I heard several Irish-American pundits and politicians say that they could relate to the reaction in the Black community and that they knew exactly what Blacks were feeling because they felt the same way in 1960. So whenever there is some incident involving some other group such as Jews, Hispanics, women, etc., I always try and relate it to the Black experience.
