Can't WAIT!
Wow-She mentioned how she was going to die right in the trailer over and over – "until I do everything I want – since it's unfair- I won't die. For the first time, I am going to live the right way – I am going to live till i die." What I am wondering is how she ended up on that trip with the chaebol guy or is it all a dream sequence? Can't believe they used the same tango music as the American movie – scent of a woman. He wasn't dying in that one – he chose to kill himself I thought and the kid made him change his mind.
I know Softy, why they put that song in the teaser ? lol
Btw, love scent of a woman, one of my fav movies. I love the tango scene! The song's name is " Por Una Cabeza ", this music is so beautiful and charming!!
Al Pacino really deserved the award he won for this role. And yes Softy he wanted to die because he felt he wasn't useful to anyone anymore, and he hated to depend on someone (his character is blind), but after some days with Charlie he decided to go on living… such a good movie! I love the Ferrari Test Drive Scene, I love the tango scene, the Ending Speech… weee better stop here xD
Here the tango scene:
Sorry for saying so much about this movie here. lol
Why are you saying sorry – I love remembering this movie – it's one of my favs too 🙂 man I had such a crush on Chris O'Donnell. I still say it's one of his best work even tho he was knew to acting in that one. He went up against the best actor and stood his ground pretty well. Sometimes in the middle of translating, I wish I could talk about American movies or dramas too. It feels weird sometimes to always stick to Kdramas cuz I bet others here watch BBC or American dramas too like me. Thank goodness for torrents or else I would not be able to survive in Seoul without them. 🙂
Luring Softy
Softy can't be lured for this one – I read the recaps and then tried to watch it-still can't stand the lead actress even more than before and there is something about this actor that just isn't convincing – his speaking voice, looks, and comedic delivery just isnt working for me * sorry to Eric's fans* but omg I am in love with the other guy – the one choi Ji woo dated – wow what a face – if only I could understand more of what he says cuz the supposedly north Korean way of conversing is confusing. Hey at least you guys got me to give it a shot- but I knew it would be a "pass" before I even pressed "play" 🙂
Sigh softy's got a 'hard' side.Oh yes Lee Chi Wook and Lee Dong Wook.My 2 Wookies on at the same time.I am happy.
Oh man why did they have have to break up?He is 6years younger right?They cited pressures from the media/fans.They were dating all through army for crying out loud.
Eric…I am sure he will change his hair colour,Then will you watch him?
Sweetie -Eric's hair color is the least of it – i didn't even realize he HAD a weird color till you just mentioned it cuz I wasn't looking too carefully – I would be doing other things till the other cute guy came on then look away till he came back on again. Then when that old actor I can't stand from Midas came on I would quickly fast forward – his face terrifies me- at this rate it is safe to say – this drama is a skip for me. Just look for scent of a woman here. I am cutting back to only 2 dramas after CH ends – SOAW and YFFM. softy has 2 months of sleep to catch up on. 🙂
SOFTY.Have you seen Fanderay's SKKS docks watercolours?She caused me to have a heart attack.I LOVED it and now it's on my desktop.It's gorgeous.
I can't tell you how much I love it Fanderay.I was waiting for your blog to be done before I sent my thank you notes to my subbers.All of them got a WR/DJ walking backward painting.It is one of my favourites.Thank you for the thank note note for my manager as well.It is so sweet.
I memorized every thing she painted – they are my backgrounds for iPhone, iPad, and desktops 🙂 the one she did for iljimae where he is sitting on the edge of a cliff is my fav along with cyhmh d and w under the tree 🙂
Hahah, you guys are so funny. Your comments always make my days.
Today is a depressing morning because when I grabbed my phone in bed to check my RSS feeds, there was no CYHMH post on Rebel Souls. 6am here = 10pm in Seoul, so I'm reprogrammed to not even sleep in on weekends anymore.
My sketchbook has been heavy to CYHMH, but in honor of the void I'm sure we're all feeling this weekend, I'm painting Cha Dong Joo today. Episode 29 🙂
Woohoo!!! We get more dong joo 🙂 I came rushing home and made it by 9 and realized I didn't need to – and on wed night I was looking for CYHMH trailer to translate, but there wasnt one – man it's depressing. to think in the beginning I looked forward to the end – I must have been crazy. I checked out the new stills for scent of a woman tonight – fingers crossed that it's good. If it is you might have to hold off sleeping in for another 8wks. 🙂
It's ok, I'm already getting up early for YFFM/CH Wednesdays and Thursdays, so why not go all week? 😀
I've noticed that I enjoy watching dramas along with your transcaps more than I do with subs. I think it might be because I pay more attention to the intonation of the words and end up getting more out of the dialogue. When I have subtitles I get so tuned out that I don't even notice if they're using banmal or jondaetmal.
Great compliment but omg don't say stuff like that -it makes me want to be more thorough – esp with CH cuz I just zip thru that sucker – there just isn't time to make it complete cuz YFFM viewers are waiting for their turn and not sleeping till they read it 🙂
As much as I love Kdramas or American dramas, I can't think of a single one I would wake up that early for – seriously – I have no problems now going to bed at 6am but if I had to wake up by that time, I would rather give up watching dramas. Seriously, I don't even book any morning flights out of Korea cuz I know I will oversleep. Last time my driver had to call me like 20 times to get me up and I almost missed my flight. He had to run like a million red lights and break almost every driving law to get me there barely on time and I had to endure the humiliation of having my name called throughout the airport terminal. And then when I got on the plane, every single passenger glared at me cuz a plane won't take off when a first class passenger hasn't boarded yet- they wait a few more mins. Boy that was one mistake I will never repeat – having a plane full of ppl hating your guts all at the same time is not pleasant. 🙂
Hahha, no! Please don't be more thorough! I usually catch up to your YFFM recapping and end up spamming refresh all morning, and you recap just the right amount.
It's funny, because I've spent many a night watching dramas until 6am, so it's weird for me to get up so early too. It just so happens that my husband is on an early work schedule right now though, so it works out kinda perfect. I try to sleep in a couple extra hours though so that the transcaps are done and I don't have to wait impatiently for download links.
That's pretty hilarious that you can't even make a morning flight though (you sound like my husband. Even though he sets two alarms I still have to practically beat him to get him up). I'm sure everyone on that plane was thinking "typical first-class passenger, can't even bother to show up on time!" It's not like you get to explain yourself either, so you just have to sit there and wallow in shame. Glad it wasn't me!
Dear Softy, thank you for your kindness, I decided to move Warrior Baek Dong Soo somewhere else cuz it wouldn't be nice to cramp all this long text on your blog, and this drama is so beautiful to look at, it deserves nice screen caps. I take all my words back, in the process of creating a blog for WBDS, will let you know. Thanks again. ^_^
Kcomments – it was ok to put summaries here – you didn't take up any space at all- I did with all my long comments about traveling cuz I wanted to be thorough – also didn't u say u might drop wbds? Now u r getting a blog too? I tried watching e3 and 4 but it was so hard to understand without ur summaries
Yo! As I was typing the summary, I really wanted to put screen caps on it, also edit/append/caps on WordPress editor really made it faster and easier. Hum…for this drama,I just loved the dialogs of Baek Dong Soo, the way he's shaping up to be a real hero is kind of interesting. Plus, you know I love beautiful cinematography. After CH ends, I think may be this is the only drama I will be following, it's kind of fun. Summary will be based on subs, so shouldn't be any pressure I can do it slowly. And I enjoy your Seoul answers, will do more next week, no historic places, hehe. The blog is popv in WordPress (was using it privately for programing test for a while). It might look a bit plain, for summary should be ok. ^_^
So it's "popv.wordpress.com"
Oooh, there are some intense screencaps in there; I like!!
Oooh, yay! I'm going to wait to start this show until your blog is up I think. Please make posts of all your original WBSD summaries if you don't mind 🙂 KDH2 is a scary place these days.
Sorry, too lazy, I copied ep3 but just cramped ep1-2 into one ^^ If you want a full story, pls read on KDH2. I think KDH2 just take longer to load but should be ok to go and read. Also, will visit your blog soon, love all your CYHMH's headers for Softy. ^_^
Omg kcomments – first great job on the blog – secondly ask me how much I laughed expecting to see DS's face but social network is staring back at me. The first 7 mins is my fav. You should read the actual script – it's more amazing than the movie. I read the script 3 months before the movie came out. So you are a Aaron Sorkin fan too? He writes really well huh? When I think about how he got paid 6 million for this script, I can't help but be proud of him. So glad he is writing for another tv show – woohoo! You know you are the one who convinced me to go watch Kung Fu panda when you raved about it on this blog somewhere. You were 100% right.
I love your blog – all the screen caps makes it easier to follow along. I had no idea you loved WBDS so much. What does popv mean? Are they initials? You used it before I remember. Looking forward to more Seoul questions. 🙂
Aww…Thanks, glad you love it. Actually, this is my first with Aaron Sorkin, what his new tv show will be about? I saw the movie because a kid from Harvard got to be a millionaire without finishing school (Jeez!). I saw on YT, the real Mark talked about the movie, he didn't explicitly say yes or no to the movie, clever guy. Oh..p-please, my Kang Fu Panda 2, love love, mama goose(or duck?) was not sure her panda son knew, he was adopted buahahaha….inner peace! So proud of those animators. I don't love WBDS like CYHMH but there is something in this drama that I want to follow along, tho I want the story to loosen up a bit on Sageuk part and focus more on fusion. I like the set up, want to see the reunion of DS and GT, but not hope for a happy ending (think Hong Gil Dong). For the name I tried a lot but it kept telling me that somebody taken it, so I thought of pop then added v (just random), it got thru so that's about it. Initially to use for video testing then felt fun. Yeah Seoul, I laughed at your traffic lights, Ck told me too not to drive in Seoul. But in a drama, a hero looks mighty fine when driving, LOL.
As for the driving part, a lot of actors are not even driving when their faces have close up shots – the car is on some kind of flat truck bed- you see this from time to time when you are in Seoul. No one pays attention unless it looks like someone really interesting is in the car 🙂 the sportier the car – the younger the actor but there is no way to follow them unless you are in a cab.
Aaron's new show is going to be on HBO and it's about a cable news network. That's all I know so far.
I am still on the fence about WBDS – I am hanging in there till the adult cast comes on, but I sure hope it gets easier. That scene with the well was like – what the crap – they were underwater for like forever and they didn't drown?? And why didn't BDS go look for the prince- he just left him there on the edge of the water after he saved him. I would've looked for him if I just risked my life to save his butt. Yeah a loose end sort of irks me 🙂
Truthfully, I watched this drama like City Hunter. The writer is an internet novelist, I guess that's why, DS feels like a hero from a manga, but I heard there is a real legendary BDS. Now I think of Bluesy. Q: What's the right word for DS's thing he hung on his waist? I didn't know how to call that when typing the summary. That wooden water jar. Help ^_^!
Hi everyome! I'm so lost where to comment, so many places lol
So how have you been? I'm still missing CYHMH? .. T__T
Soo a article about Kim Jae Won talking about his role 🙂
Oppa is such a nice person 🙂
Awww… thank you so much for the links! I get the feeling he will do a family drama next? The one that runs a 100 episode or so! XD
Aww…thanks. I love his interview made me love him even more. I miss you KIM.JAE.WON. He sounds so nice, ok if he do a family drama even 100++ ep, front row ticket sold! ^^
Oh man I love that cliff photo.
Oh the subbers loved your drawings.A couple even said it was their favourite photo from the series.
Sigh.You've made me all nostalgic dear.I can't believe it's ended.Man I miss the recap and I miss my team.
However…see you all this Sat?Me busy with Scent of a woman this week.I had to catch up on my dramas so watched RT,Drunken to love you ep 1-13 and Myung Wol.Not feeling much excitement in KD though.Ahh…Joon Ha now that you've redeemed I want to pinch your cheeks 🙂
Softy have you got this?I recognise the name ajewell.She follows your blog right?They are tons of scenes for Fandaray if she is ever inspired.
Can we interest both of you in The Princess' Man?That is one drama I want to watch because of the cinematography but not sure if my heart can stand it.
Ahhhh, I shouldn't have watched that! *waving/fanning at face*. Such a well done video, and such a good song choice!
I have so many CYHMH scenes to draw it's ridiculous. I'm banning myself from WR/DJ for at least…4 days, but I can't even decides on Y and D, M and W, etc etc.
I know how you feel regarding PM. I really don't want to watch it, but then I watch a trailer and it's soooooo pretty.
I'm also not so sure about PSH yet. It's not so much his hair that bothers me, but his face. Even though I'm sure there WERE technically faces like his in Joseon times, it doesn't seem like it belongs. His face almost has a bit of a clownish element to it (I don't mean that in an insulting way) and it feels too modern to be in a sageuk (although the trailers are starting to convince me otherwise).
My least favorite part of sageuks has always been the horse-hair hats, but I think I'm finally over that. I was so happy that YAI almost never wore one in SKKS.
Ck, thanks! Also dear Ajewell, miss our discussion hu hu…
Hey CK, I am outside with my iPad and this video doesn't show up so I will watch it later when I get home. Of course I remember Ajewell -she follows TP too. Bet this will be great 🙂
Sorry – but gonna pass on PM – you know me – sageuk isn't my forte – actually being fluent enough to tackle even a sageuk trailer would be a challenge. If this was a modern time setting – it would be a whole different story cuz then he wouldn't have that hairstyle that makes me cringe for him. It looks so much better up than down so I have no idea why they took the pics with it down like that.
No need to recap.Need The Crying Club company 🙂

@boonboon Thank you!
Dear Softy, could you please translate? They are so cute and happy. KJW's smiles are the best, and NGM just is so hawtt with Tee *fanning self* Softy, pretty pls. *hug hug*
Thanks boonboon – here are the parts I understood- KJW was asked what he succeeded in and he said "acting". the interviewer asked what changed for KJW now that the drama is over and he said he has more free time…he was nervous so he was tired…watching the drama and CDJ he wondered if those ppl's hearts were comforted (I think he was referring to the hearing impaired ppl)…with one word CDJ is – and before he could answer his fans said "a nice fool"-then about the bromance between him and NM – he said that he wished he could see NM in a cool role cuz NM kept looking at him with loving stares (LOL). when NM was interviewed he said he was sad it was over – he got a lot of fans from this drama and then they showed some clips cuz i guess ppl made a parody of his shower scene. he was asked what bong maru is in one word and he replied a kid whose heart ached a lot. then they talked about how W shook (made their hearts waver/flutter) M's heart and D's heart and the actress said lots of ppl said it was cuz W was too nice and some didnt like W for doing that. both actors were asked what they would do in real life (if they fought over a girl when they are brothers) NM said he would choose her as a younger sister and KJW said he would not step aside for his hyung. then the video got fuzzy but NM said KJW was cute. For the stair kiss scene KJW said the director had cameras from all angles so it took a while to shoot. the actress said she liked all the kiss scenes cuz KJW has angelina jolie's lips.she was asked between KJW and NM who is her ideal and she said there isnt one (look at her real life bf- he looks nothing like these two guys). KJW left after the korean barbebecue wrap party to go watch the last episode with the cast at a quiet cafe but he joked he was going to the second drinking place.NM said now that he left the show behind he is sad. actress said in her life it was the best time/memory and KJW asked fans to tune in I think for his next project.
Why did NM show up wearing a cap? He was always wearing suits so it was so strange to see him looking so casual. The kids looked adorable as usual. Somewhere on soompi I read that the lead actress is going on a 2 wk family trip to Europe with her bf tagging along too. It's her first time in Europe so if any fans spot a small group of Koreans, let us know. 🙂
Thanks Softy, so sweet of you. All I got from your translation, "KJW has angelina jolie's lips" LOL, KJW's next project? Please pm me asap, I hope it's not a Sageuk drama ><! And NGM looked HOT (I noticed lots of vids on YT for JH), little DJ and WR so cute. Thanks.
Thanks Softy,for your translation.^__^
Since we have our mutual agreement to skip historic sites, this video by visitkorea is really nice introduction to UNESCO World Heritage in Korea.
Seoul : Shop!Shop!Shop!
@Softy, the book suggested many places, you can choose the one(s) you feel comfortable with.
-Namdaemun Market
-Dongdaemun Shopping Complex
-Pyounghwa Fashion Town Market
-Nampyounghwa Market
-Myeongdong Market
Some of these places you can shop until 5am in the morning? That's so cool.
Myeongdong in action. Nice video uploaded by avingusa@YT. If you don't understand Chinese, you can turn off the volume. ^^
Q: What's you doing there Softy? Is it a nice bargain here? Currently my chic brand name ZARA hehe.
Itaewon is near the hyatt hotel – free shuttle bus to itaewon – most stores are open till 7 but not many ppl go here to shop for clothes as much – mostly Nike and other sportswear and fake handbags. They have every type of food you could want. YAI hangs out a lot here to drink. The places that are open till 5am are Namdaemun Market, Dongdaemun, Doota (it used to be cheap, but prices went up lately so it is no longer a bargain to shop here ever since they renovated and made it pretty) not sure about Myeongdong and other two Markets cuz I don't go there to eat or shop.the chosun hotel and lotte dept store are nearby Myeongdong – it is a huge shopping area so lots of ppl go there all the time to shop. They have almost every brand of clothes like Zara, forever 21, and H&M. Ppl who live here like to shop at other places like dept stores, near Ewha University, apkujeoung, and karulsukil which is like the soho of Seoul. It's one long main street with side streets full of original designs for relatively reasonable prices for the most part. This is the street where you see celebs or models all the time- almost everyone famous comes here when they visit. For shopping – this place is worth a trip.
Man, Softy, WBDS ep 5 was so great, the adult casts were all out! I really thought of you, will be soooo happy if you could recap this one. *flashing my eye lashes* pretty please, so I can sit and read yours, hehe. Ok, the fighting scenes were a bit mess in some sense but good nonetheless.
K: Who would console you! Lee Shin, you're such an fool!
K: I found your necklace. I will not care whomever you like or not. I don't like you.
SH Tomorrow, there will be an audition for a heroine.
Boy: K didn't come to school today. Her grandfather knew everything.
K: Uh?
Shin: I just, wanted to try to take the bus.
Looks like we're going to get lots of K and S goodness! I just finished getting caught up on CH, so I feel like I need it. I don't think I can take one more overly dramatic tough love scene of "you shouldn't be near me; it's dangerous" and "It's ok, I'll protect you, I know judo" followed by the even more dramatic song "gooodbye, dont cry, just smile….".
Also, I've noticed that EVERYTHING makes me think of CYHMH now. As soon as I heard "babo" in that preview I got D/W flashbacks, and when you guys acted impatient to get to the adults in WBDS I was like "Psh, what? The kids aren't amazingly awesome and almost as captivating as the adult leads?"
Also also, I think I'm twelve because I totally cracked up at Shin dropping all those books. So much for his cool exterior!
Hey Fanderay,
I think these translations were rushed- spotted some errors- what she actually said was "who said I would console you" " I won't (make it my business) who you like or not from now on" – she was throwing his earlier words back at him."I'm saying I don't like you" "she got caught by her grandpa" " hi – just thought I should take the bus once in a while"
Have you seen the WBDS kids? the CYHMH kids blow them away and can "act" circles around them 🙂
Oooh, thank you! I was actually wondering about the translation because originally it called K a he instead of a she (which I changed). Of course no pronoun was actually used, so it's an easier mistake to make, but it certainly made me wonder if it was rushed 🙂
I am JUST starting the first episode of WBDS this very second, so hopefully the kids are good enough to get me to episode 5. Did you watch 5 yet? Are the adults as good as you had hoped?
Still didn't watch E5 yet but plan to on my commute home. Kcomments is raving about it so I am assuming it's great. Will let you know later. I forwarded your question about numbers to blue so will post her response when it comes up.
For the first time in months, I slept at a normal hour. I finally feel like I am back in the land of the living. I am never going to do recaps mon-sun ever again. Having only fri off was not enough. After getting a decent nights sleep, now I realize what I have been missing out on. 🙂
Thanks Softy! I appreciate it you forwarding the question, although I feel bad that you went that far!
Glad to hear that you're getting some proper rest (you must have felt like a zombie. Did you crave brains?). I'm impressed that you managed to stay so incredibly coherent for all that time!
Of course, you've probably just jinxed yourself by saying that you'll never do mon-sun recaps again. You're pretty much just asking for a Fall full of the most irresistibly awesome dramas ever.
Softy.Heads up I am about to pick up a new drama.Can't lose with the actor who plated Oska.
Now what?It has CSW the crying queen but it's supposed to be light and funny.Either way I am going to try to be on the viki staff for this one.I am worried about the writer though.Sigh,why do they torture us with great casting then it could all go to pieces if the writer's not good.Oh dear oh dear.
Dear ck, I need to talk to you regarding CYHMH ep30 subs, could you please pm me on soompi? Where can I email you? Thanks.
CSW or CJW? I was like, Cha Seung Won, the crying queen?LMAO
Both YSH (Oska) and CJW is a REALLY interesting pair to watch. I have a feeling CJW can pull up a rom-com character, she in real life seems fun and ditz. lol.
I wish someone can post link to 2d1n subs of actress special.
Softy, I have a question for you (or any other korean-speaker)!
At the start of every kdrama episode, the episode number comes up on screen. The usual format is…
Je (number) hoe
Is hoe a counter? And do episodes use sino or native korean numbers? *shakes fist at Korea and its dual-number system*
In YFFM, instead of "hoe" it says "bu". Wae?
It drives me crazy every single time I watch a kdrama, so I finally decided to ask. Thaaank yoooou ^___^
Just finished the first episode of WBDS. It took me forever to watch because I kept pausing to make a cheat sheet for all the character names and descriptions. Thoughts so far:
I like the tone that was set. I was surprised at how sad some of the scenes managed to be, but it never got too depressing for a first episode, and the bromances and humor helped lighten things up.
I have mixed feelings about the directing so far. There are some beautiful scenes with great colors, but I feel like the lighting and camerawork sometimes leave them feeling flat. The fight scenes are also a bit cheesy for my taste, mostly as a result of excessive slow-mo.
I do like the adult cast so far, although I'm not sure about In (from the assassin's guild) yet. It's a bit like the actor is playing a lesser version of his character in RoI, where he's just straight up ridiculous/funny. In WBDS so far he's walking an odd line between comic-relief and serious, and it's weirding me out a bit.
Also, Kwang Taek is a badass! I love that he sacrifices his arm like that, even though it was probably the most tragic part of the episode. Off I go to watch episode 2! I plan to be caught up by the end of tomorrow 🙂
I'm watching YFFM ep 3 now. The guy you like softy? When he sang in audition, I think that's not his voice?
The Princess Man has lots of fight scenes and riding.Not a lot of dialogue and a lot of honorifics.They talk very slowly and not a lot of conversation.Review just in from one of the viki segmenters.Well if there are not much conversation guess you'll be watching ep 1 then 🙂
Haha, I love DS! I like how in the midst of heated battle he's just laughing and showing off that he caught an arrow, yet somehow doesn't come off as too cheesy or slap-sticky. Even the title of the show is comical since his personality is so at odds with the typical heroic warrior. The people around him seem consistently bewildered by his behavior, but it never deters him in the least.
I was sooo excited when Gwang Taek came walking through the field. I've loved him from episode 1, and he just keeps getting better (his slapping of DS was hilarious). It was all I could manage not to yell at glasses-boy to say DS's name so that GT would realize who he was. I hope their proper introduction isn't delayed forever.
I'm also liking the dynamic between all the characters. Finally we are getting some good younger-generation bromance, and Jin Ju is just as enjoyable in her adult form. I sort of hope she still wants to marry DS. It could make for some funny situations now that he's in love with every other girl on the planet.
Speaking of which, I could barely watch the scene of DS trying to woo tattoo-girl because he's so adorably awkward and embarrassing. Yes, I'm sure she's MUCH more comfortable around you now that you've taken your shirt off. I don't think he's much younger than me, but I feel the need to adopt him so I can give him dating advice.
I'm not sure I completely understand all the flashback stuff with Cheon, Ji, and Gwang Taek. Why couldn't she leave suddenly? Or am I not supposed to know yet?
This show does a really good job of making me feel for Cheon, even though he technically seems to have no redeeming qualities. I hate shows with black and white characters where the protagonists are so good it's nauseating, and the antagonists are just randomly evil for no reason. Cheon doesn't seem evil at all. Just really really really drunk.
I'm going to need to read kcomments recaps for all the political details I think. I've got the general gist of things, but I think I'm missing a lot of the nuances in the intrigues happening around the crown prince.
Overall, very happy with where this drama seems to be headed!
Kyaah~ *waves*
City Hunter will wrap up next week (didn't see last two yet hehe), here's the original Ryo and Kaori (J- manga City Hunter), now I look at it, I think he looks like LMH now, seriously!
Fanvid Ryo and Kaori Forever (videokiaki@YT)
I will miss LMH for sure.
Credits : YT uploader
I'm hovering around, just been busy lately. Softy, hope you are holding out OK. ^_^
Hey kcomments – kept checking your blog for WBDS E6 and now it's up 🙂 Did you fall in love with those rescue scenes too? I have to admit, I am cheating during the night it airs. I only watch the scenes with the younger cast and skip right over all the other stuff. It makes my head hurt from trying to figure out what's going on.
That CH video is cute. Hope it ends well next wk.
Scent starts tm right? Are you gonna watch? I have to learn a whole new set of names again. I am hoping and praying there aren't that many characters in this one- thank goodness it's only 16 eps cuz I said I wouldn't do a weekend drama again cuz they are too long, but since this is short- I am going to give it a shot. if it ends up being awful, I hope no one will hate me if I drop it. I wonder if I can be fair about it cuz I loved CYHMH so much – already I am curious if Scent can be even a third of what CYHMH was 🙂
Huhu Softy, how I've missed you, while typing I thought how could she do what? 4-6 eps a week? Jeez, in WBDS, I just hope the King and the Prince won't speak too much, seriously, it's like another language, I bet the subbers have Ko-Ko dictionary at hands cuz there's no way you will know all, like the specific name just for the Crown Prince Sado's activity. Today I was typing the summary at Starbucks, that camp fire scene, Dong Su and his friend Cho Rip were so hilarious, I laughed a lot while typing then ppl just looked at me strangely, but I couldn't help it. And when Dong Su fight with GT, when he asked for an intermission cuz he hurt his arm was so funny. Somehow I think the ending may be sad tho. Which girl do you like? I love the tomboy JJ, but seems Dong Su is eying another one. About Scent, I have an issue with the female lead so not really on my list, but I think the drama should come good and entertaining. That means I'll be free on weekend while you type? Neener neener! I may check Protect the Boss tho, want to see how the male lead will carry out his role and JJ (JYJ) too. Actually, I'm liking HFL (not asking you to recap or anything), but the subs are so slow, guess nobody wants to sub 50eps. But I can guess a bit so sub or not it's ok for now. OMG my hands are tied with the two boys for like 18 more eps? Mon is coming soon? *run cover ears*
Ooh, is Protect the Boss starting this week? That actor is the only thing that got me through Royal Family (worst drama ending EVAR). I don't know his name, but for some reason I find his face fascinating (ok now I sound creepy).
I don't know HOW you watched that campfire scene in public. I was squirming and waving my hands in the air, watching between fingers, grabbing my hair, etc! It was hilarious, but I could not handle the embarrassment of it all. I predict that there will be a LOT of embarrassing moments in DS's future, so it's going to be a tough road for me.
I just finished inking the scene you chose, and I think it's going to turn out pretty good (fingers crossed). For the other page I'm doing DS waving at tattoo girl while the other boys look at him like he's an idiot (which I suppose he sort of is, in his own adorable smarty-pants way).
I do NOT envy you recapping this show. It's actually kinda comical when the entire screen is filled with subtitle text as the translators try to quickly explain what the heck everyone is talking about.
No, not this week, Protect the Boss will be replacing City Hunter. And I watched at Starbucks but I did carefully choose where to sit and my laptop screen was facing the wall haha, and I didn't think it would be that funny with subs, I was taken by surprise. I'm still trying to figure out how to fit your drawings on certain scales, have to have time for that. Please keep it up.
@softy Your avatar Ah-in is not showing on your bookmark, that way it's easier for me to locate your blog. Thanks. Any news on his new drama?
Hi Kcomments, may i know what is your blog site? thanks!
Her site is http://popv.wordpress.com 🙂
Guys! Phew, so tired! ~(-.-)~
I haven't watch CH yet and poor PSH hope she gets enough rest. And I'm so looking forward to Scent and Protect the Boss! Woo~

Two hundred beds arrived at the Dothan animal shelter. Today locals came out to help put them together. The beds give the animals a new place to sleep. This all started after animal shelter workers posted a picture online. The picture was of a dog lying on the cold concrete. The animal rescue aid stepped in for the rescue after the picture went viral. Volunteers began putting beds together at 10 a.m. and they were provided lunch for their services.
"When I got the email that we were getting these beds, I literally was sitting in bed crying over getting the email and these dogs especially even in the summer they have to sit or they go to the bathroom and they are laying on the cold wet concrete and getting them up is going to get them warmer, cleaner and drier," said Joy Parkman, a Dothan City Animal Shelter volunteer.
Two-hundred beds cost about $4500. One man from Arizona donated one-hundred beds alone.

Eventually most of us want our research recorded in book form -- a big task. How is it done?
"Yes, the research is the fun part. Writing a family history book just seems too daunting to be fun. But when the relatives start nagging, try these 10 easy steps for making your family history book a reality."
Kimberley Powell tells more on ABOUT.COM: GENEALOGY.
Her proposed ten steps include:
1) Choose a Format for Your Family History
2) Define the Scope of Your Family History
3) Set Deadlines You Can Live With
4) Choose a Plot & Themes
5) Do Your Background Research
6) Organize Your Research
7) Choose a Starting Point
8) Don't be Afraid to Use Records and Documents
9) Make it Personal
10) Include an Index and Source Citations.
Kimberley also has the following tip to tackle your book:
"Tackling a full-blown family history is a huge project, one which many people find too overwhelming to even begin. Just finding the time to sit down and put your own stories on paper can be a near impossible feat. Just ask my grandmother who must be tired of hearing from me about those family stories she's been promising me for years.
"The trick to any large project is to break it down into manageable chunks. In the case of recording your family history, why not begin with a letter? Sit down once per month with a few pieces of paper or your computer and begin writing - to your children, grandchildren, or anyone who might be interested. Begin by selecting a topic for that month's letter - a particular ancestor, a certain time period, a special event... Then just let the words come. Make the letter an informal one, but be sure to record as much of your memories as possible, including names, dates, facts and feelings. Write just as if you were telling your children or grandchildren a bedtime story, because in a way you are. That monthly letter will soon be something that your descendants eagerly anticipate. Plus, before you know it, you will have finally written that family history - one letter at a time."

Maxi Rodríguez's two first-half goals paced Argentina to a dominating 5-0 win over Canada in Buenos Aires on Monday in the country's final tuneup before departing for the World Cup.
Ángel di María, Carlos Tévez and Sergio Agüero all scored for No. 7-ranked Argentina, who completely dissected Canada in all facets from start to finish.
And it all came with 2009 FIFA World Player of the Year and FC Barcelona midfielder Lionel Messi sitting on the bench after suffering a knock in training.
For the Canadian National Team, it was a historic night: Pat Onstad became Canada's all-time leader in caps for a goalkeeper with his 57th appearance. But that was about the only highlight for Stephen Hart's side.
Argentina put on a complete performance to the delight of 66,000 fans at Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires who were looking for a great sendoff. They dictated play from the opening whistle, putting on a textbook clinic of one-touch passing and penetrating runs.
That put 63rd-ranked Canada back on their heels, akin to the effect of a foosball table tilted high in one direction. The Canadians couldn't get a sniff of the ball and, when they did, couldn't keep it long enough to do anything as they were swarmed by Argentines.
They struck first in the 16th minute, following a foul by Houston Dynamo defender Andrew Hainault. Rodríguez's ensuing free kick from the edge of the penalty area took a slight deflection off the head of Toronto FC midfielder Dwayne De Rosario and sailed by Houston Dynamo goalkeeper Onstad.
Rodríguez then doubled the score in the 32nd minute against the run of play when he raced down the field took a pass from Tévez and slotted the ball between Onstad's legs.
Five minutes later, Benfica star di María compounded Canada's misery as he took control of a loose ball, drove toward the penalty area and sent a nifty left-footed drive over a helpless Onstad.
A Hainault turnover in the 63rd minute led to the fourth goal as Gonzalo Higuaín stole it at the top of the box and fed it to Tévez for an easy finish.
Canada's lone scoring chance came a minute later when striker Rob Friend was stopped. Hart's side was missing some key players in midfielders Julian de Guzman, Atiba Hutchinson and Patrice Bernier, but their presence wouldn't have helped.
The difference in class was clear and highlighted by the talent at Argentina's disposal. That was on display when Agüero ended the scoring in the 71st minute on an amazing goal just a minute after entering the game as a substitute.
Maradona's son-in-law turned Canadian defender Richard Hastings inside out before sending a left-footed drive by Onstad.
The game marked the first time since 2008 that Canada last played a top 10-ranked country. Back then, Hart's side played Brazil tough in a friendly in Seattle, falling 3-2 at Qwest Field.
Canada continue their South America tour with a trip to Mérida, Venezuela, on Saturday to face No. 49-ranked Venezuela.
Before Monday's game, the Canadian Soccer Association announced that Peru would be Canada's opponent for a Sept. 4 friendly at BMO Field in Toronto.
It would mark the first time Canada has faced the South Americans and the fourth friendly of six this year as the team prepares for next year's Gold Cup.

The Role of Multinational EnterprisesNarula, Rajneesh; Zanfei, Antonello (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper undertakes a brief evaluation of the trends in the internationalization of innovative activities. We provide a taxonomy of R&D internationalization strategies, and discuss the main relevant theoretical and empirical issues, before discussing the centripetal and centrifugal forces underlying the nature and evolution of cross border innovation. We address the issue of international technology partnering as a key strategy that is complementary to the internationalisation of innovative activities through internal means, before raising important policy dimensions and directions for future research that derive from these debates.

We need BJ
I've been meaning to post about BJ Ryan for a while now, but with all the trade deadline-Travis Snider-we're still in this thing-now we're out of it drama of the past few months, never got around to it.
Today's game gave me the push needed, though. See, I've been quietly disagreeing with those who say the contract was a mistake and the Jays should look to move him in the offseason. I understand the logic and distaste for the size and length of the deal - but after this season, there are only 2 years left, and to dump him at this point would be to signal a rebuild. And I'm not ready to do that (you know, since I call the shots and all).
Contract notwithstanding, BJ's primed for a monster year next season. Just think about it - he's 24 for 27 (65 for 74 as a Blue Jay) in save opportunities this season in his first year after Tommy John. His velocity is almost all the way back - touching 90 on the gun - and he's finding his slider again. His control and command aren't quite there yet, but when they are (next season), look the fuck out. Fist pumps galore, my friends.
Of course, you need to put a winning team on the field in order to see those fist pumps, and BJ Ryan needs to be a big part of that. Now, I know the team had success with Acorn Accardo closing games last season in BJ's absence. But do you want to roll the dice with Brandon League closing next year?
Maybe I'm old school, but I'm of the mindset that a team needs a legit stopper in the bullpen. BJ Ryan allows Scott Downs to be Scott Downs (8th inning guy), Brandon League can be Brandon League (7th inning guy), Jesse Carlson can do what Jesse Carlson does (loogy plus), and Jason Frasor remains Jason Frasor (umm.....). You take the guy paid to be the stopper out of that equation, and you know what you have? Chaos. Let's not fuck around with a successful formula.
Saying goodbye to Exxxstein?
Nothing official as of this writing, but looks like the end of the line for another player on my trade deadline photo collage.
David Eckstein appears to be on the way out after what can only be described as a disappointing stint as a Blue Jay.
Through no real fault of his own, Exxx never really won the hearts of the fans (or Cito) after signing on with the Jays last offseason. Really, in hindsight, the one year deal should have been a pretty big tip-off this wasn't meant to be, but little Davey came in and did pretty much exactly what he should have been expected to do.
He's another guy whose taken his lumps on the Blue Jay blogosphere, but he'll land on his feet and sign a decent deal somewhere next season - and hey, looks like he'll play out the season on a contender, and potentially further add to his "World Series MVP" legacy.
You stay classy, David Eckstein.

Getting rid of Ryan = rebuilding? No way.
Choas? Come on...
If there is anywhere we can afford to get rid of a top player to improve somewhere else it's the bullpen. Downs has been lights fucking out and League has been solid enough to get a chance at the 8th inning.
I don't even think the B.J. deal is that bad but this frees up $20 mill over the next two years! We can use that money for hitters or even to help the starting rotation after losing Burnett.
Rolling the dice is not picking up a bat in the offseason because you think Snider is going to be able to fill that hole. Bumping League up to the 8th is like staying on 20 in Black Jack. It's not a gaurantee but it ain't bad odds either.

Dave, the "chaos" was hyperbole.
But you know what I remember? I remember the 3 seasons before BJ Ryan came on board - the 3 seasons where the Jays tried to go on the cheap and had Miguel Batista, Jason Frasor, Cliff Politte, and Aquilino Lopez closing games. Not good times.
I just fail to see how taking away from an existing strength makes the team better. There's already, what, $35M coming off the books? Some of that needs to go to replace AJ (or not?), so there should be enough in the coffers to sign an impact bat. I'd rather keep a nails bullpen in place and fill the SS hole internally (or keep the Scutaro/Mac rotation).
I do agree, though, counting on Snider to be that guy is foolish, though I hope by mid-'09 he can be in the lineup making a difference.
Too many contenders are felled by a shitty bullpen - how often do you hear about contenders "looking for bullpen help"? All the fucking time. Look at some of the teams this year - the Yankees are getting killed because they're short a lefty and another arm. The Sox have given away games by not getting to Papelbon with a consistent 8th inning guy. The Rays - yes, they're an anamoly, I'll give you that. Over in the NL, the Dodgers are falling apart with young arm Broxton (League?) not being able to transition to closing after Saito went down.
By leaving the key components of the Jays pen in place, we've already solved that problem.

Agree with ack. The feeling that 90% of the time you go to your bullpen, they will be lights out is such a huge luxury. No other team has that and I can't think of any reason why you would fuck around with that. To use a business term, the rotation and bullpen have insane "synergy"--the whole is greater than the sum of their parts. They add value to each other. Our rotation and bullpen is a huuuuuuge competitive advantage. Even with Janssen and Accardo hopefully back to 100% next year, I still wouldn't fuck around with anything since we'll probably lose Tallet, Frasor, and who knows who else. Also, at least one other reliever is bound for a dropoff or an injury.
Plus, we'll already have plenty of cash available to fill other needs. We're not at the point where we need to shed contracts.

- Nichols said...
Wasn't the Jays pen pretty good without Ryan last year anyways?
Don't get me wrong, I like the Beej and realize the efficiency of a bullpen varies considerably on an annual basis. However, with Janssen and Accardo coming back, I'd take the risk by dealing Ryan if the return was a good bat or a MLB-ready prospect.
- August 31, 2008 at 11:33 AM
i just don't see how Ryan can bring back anything worthwhile in a trade with his contract. keep him, and keep the best pen in baseball intact.
- August 31, 2008 at 1:08 PM

Some stats: The Jays bullpen leads the majors in ERA by far (a qtr of a run lower than the next team). They have also pitched the 2nd fewest innings. Last year they had the 3rd best ERA and 4th fewest innings. I'll take dominance over merely great.
Bullpen last year with at least 25 IP
This year with at least 25 IP
Sure last year they were fine without BJ, but remember they also had Janssen and Wolfe. While this year BJ, Carlson, League, Camp stepped up to replace Accardo, Janssen, Wolfe. Even with Janssen and Accardo coming back, we may lose Frasor and Tallet. I think it's important to maintain that depth and dominance.
- August 31, 2008 at 2:11 PM
I totally agree that having a great bullpen is a luxury and you can't win without one (well you can but if the Mets had anything resembling one they'd be 10 games up in the East). What I'm wondering, though, is how much the Jays would really fall off by giving up Ryan.
Downs and League look ready to step up to me.
Maybe I'm being greedy, maybe we don't need even more money to spend. I just don't agree with people like Wilner that say our lineup only needs to be tweaked, that we just need ONE bat.
But how many consistent bats are available (I don't really think we'd be able to trade B.J. for one, I'm thinking trade him for some pine tar and use his money to get someone in)? Maybe it is better to make sure you have a dominate bullpen and hope that a bat and a half can make enough of a difference.
As for Snider, I agree. I'm actually hoping he pushes Overbay out of the lineup at some point in '09.
- August 31, 2008 at 3:16 PM
- SP said...
I disagree with Wilner that they only need one bat. I'm not willing to take that chance next year. We can definitely get at least one great bat with the 35m or so that we'll have. If after getting another SP and maybe an SS, there's still not enough left for another bat, then Overbay is tradeable.
- August 31, 2008 at 3:35 PM
With BJ in the 9th he pushes better pitchers (Downs, League) into high leverage situations earlier in the game. Keeping him is a solid idea.
- August 31, 2008 at 4:06 PM
D-Backs got Eckstein.

Beej needs to pitch almost every day to stay sharp. The times he's scared us recently has been when he hasn't pitched for days. A sharp Beej is a scary Beej. Remember how earlier in the year we heard how much better the team felt when they saw him come out of the bullpen? He's badass and that's an intangible we need to keep.
As for Scrappy, he was never going to win me over because he replaced Johnny Mac, who in my mind earned the right last year to be the starting SS. I didn't have a problem using him at DH or filling in at 2B when Hill went down. (He's going to be filling in for O-Dog - talk about going from the fat to the fire.) But he was exactly as advertised. He played hard and loved the game. I'm glad he's going to play somewhere that can use him. And we get a promising pitcher back, which can either use as a trading piece or fit into our own plans in a couple of years. It's a good deal.
- August 31, 2008 at 6:01 PM
- The Southpaw said...
I take a third path. I don't think there's any need to move him (unless the payroll goes backwards which it won't) in any way BUT i would also let it be known that if you can solve our SS issue with a top shelf guy for him then we can talk.
for instance, if we could get Tulo or Drew or someone like that (and I don't see any chance of that) then it would be worth it.
- September 1, 2008 at 1:33 AM
- Frank said...
Agreed. I'd trade him, but only for a good offer. And a good offer is unlikely to come for a 32 year old with a weird delivery and a big contract, who has recently had TJ surgery.
So let's hold on and enjoy the great bullpen. I reckon we take it for granted too often.

JP will do his job this summer and listen to any and all offers, as he should. If someone knocks our socks off with a proposal for BJ, it's gotta be done. If not, Ack makes some great points as to why this bullpen should be brought back, pretty much intact, next year. Like Manute said, we definitely take it for granted. This bullpen is fucking sick. Period, full stop.
And Eckstein was a classy guy. Dude never bitched, even though it was clear to everyone that he didn't get a fair shake once the Gastonian one came back. I wish him well. Stay scrappy, Scrappy Doo.

I would absolutely love it if BJ can return to his dominating pitching form and combine that with Scott Downs and League, we should have a top notch bullpen.

Kelly Swindle doesn't believe in bird whisperers.
Kelly Swindle doesn't believe in bird whisperers.
"I don't know of any magic way to get rid of birds," said Swindle, who owns the Oklahoma company that makes Avitrol, an anti-bird pesticide. "There are a lot of people who use our products who keep it quiet because of the lethality involved."
One might be James Soules, the purported bird whisperer of Decatur, who holds a $164,000 no-bid contract to rid downtown Springfield of pigeons and starlings. He also has a state license to use Avitrol, a poison that's regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, banned in at least one state and viewed with wariness even within the pest-control industry.
Over the years, state health inspectors have found Avitrol at Soules' company on several occasions.
Soules is sticking to his story: He has a secret way to get rid of nuisance birds.
He hasn't used Avitrol in two decades, he said last week, and a supply of the chemical found at his business by state inspectors as recently as 2004 was left over from when he once used it. He has a state pesticide license only in case he decides to expand his business, he said.
"I really don't have to have a license," said Soules. "I have it, though, just in case I might want to do some termites."
Soules was 84 last November, when Mayor Tim Davlin touted him as the Pied Piper of nuisance birds. Calling Soules a "bird whisperer," the mayor told the council it had taken him a year just to arrange a meeting with the man who has a reputation for getting rid of birds as if by magic.
"The way that he gets rid of the birds in a city is a secret," Davlin told the council.
So far, the city has paid Soules $88,000 and is scheduled to give him another $76,000. A five-pound box of Avitrol-laced corn, which is mixed with pure corn in ratios ranging from 1:9 to 1:29, sells for as little as $230 in Chicago. Training to use it is readily available, and the state grants licenses to applicators who take a class that lasts one or two days and pass a test. The class costs $40 at the University of Illinois.
"If you follow the label properly, you should have good results with the product," said Swindle.
City spokesman Ernie Slottag said that, as far as the city is concerned, the fact that Soules has a pesticide license and the state has found Avitrol at his business means nothing.
"If he says he doesn't use it, he doesn't use it," Slottag said. "Farmers have a license to use anhydrous ammonia, but they don't make meth.
"All we know is that he disrupts their nesting areas so they don't return."
Soules has long insisted that he uses non-lethal methods to control birds.
"I'll say this: I don't shoot the birds, I don't harm them," Soules told the Decatur Herald & Review in 2006.
The Decatur newspaper reported that Soules' business skyrocketed after the Chicago Tribune in 2005 published a lengthy account of his purported magical skills with birds. According to the Tribune, birds rose toward the heavens as Soules moved from tree to tree in Galesburg.
"Indeed, Soules' story seems made for Hollywood, a tale of a regular guy who stumbles upon a secret that gives him a seemingly superhuman power," the Tribune reported.
However, Soules' company also has a history of shooting birds, according to state files.
In 1995, the state health department investigated one of Soules' employees for shooting pigeons with a .22 caliber rifle. Soules' company was again investigated for shooting pigeons in a downtown area in 1998. In both cases, the names of the cities were redacted in files given to The State Journal-Register pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act request.
"Interesting," said Carolyn Oxtoby, who lives in the 200 block of South Sixth Street in Springfield. "So this is not the first time for the bird whisperer."
Oxtoby says she saw someone shooting birds twice last summer. The first time, it was after 2 a.m., and she watched from her bedroom window.
Oxtoby said she saw someone in a pickup truck pointing a light toward the top of a building. Someone with a rifle emerged from the pickup, and Oxtoby heard shots shortly afterward.
A week later, about 7 a.m., Oxtoby said she saw someone shooting again. The driver got out of the pickup, stomped on a bird that was lying on the ground, then put the carcass in a plastic bag, she said.
"I found out that it's against the law to shoot guns in a residential area, which downtown is, even if the city or the bird whisperer doesn't know that," Oxtoby said.
Sgt. Pat Ross of the Springfield Police Department confirms that firing a gun in city limits is illegal.
"It doesn't matter if it's downtown Springfield or out on Dirksen," Ross said. "If you're discharging a firearm as a private citizen, I'm not aware of anything that would circumvent the law."
Soules acknowledged that he shoots birds, but only sick ones.
"Sometimes, you have some sick ones that are sitting on a ledge," he said. "You can't get them any other way."
While Oxtoby doesn't approve of guns as bird control devices, Avitrol sounds OK to her.
"I don't like killing birds, but I don't know what the answer is," Oxtoby said.
Avitrol, developed in the 1960s, works like this: Corn is placed in areas frequented by nuisance birds. After the birds grow accustomed to easy meals, corn containing Avitrol is mixed with pure corn. Birds that eat the poison corn die, but, before expiring, the poisoned birds go into distress and signal the survivors. Surviving birds quickly learn to avoid the area.
"I think that's brilliant," Oxtoby said. "It's better than a total extermination, absolutely."
But there are drawbacks. One is that birds poisoned by Avitrol can fall from the sky.
That's why public health officials in Milford, Mass., canceled plans to use Avitrol in 2005. The previous year, as many as 15 birds poisoned by Avitrol at a hospital fell into single parking lot, alarming nearby middle-school students, according to a story in the Milford Daily News.
The Avitrol Corp., based in Tulsa, Okla., apparently took notice. Besides schools, Swindle said Avitrol should not be used near hospices.
"You don't want them to see the creatures dying," Swindle said. "It's legal to kill birds, but sometimes it's not a commonsense thing to do in some places."
New York state banned Avitrol in 2000, and even some pest experts have their doubts about the substance.
Arizona Pest Control in Tucson stopped using Avitrol about three years ago.
"The main reason is social responsibility," said John Welsh, the company's bird manager.
Because 90 percent of a flock targeted by Avitrol survives, the pesticide simply pushes a problem elsewhere, Welsh said. And the offspring of Avitrol survivors haven't learned to avoid feed laced with Avitrol, so using the pesticide to control birds becomes a never-ending chore, he said.
While the manufacturer insists that secondary poisoning isn't a concern, Welsh also said he believes Avitrol can harm non-targeted birds if they eat poison corn directly or consume carcasses of birds killed by Avitrol.
Jon Hockenyos, owner of Sentinel Pest Control on South 9th Street, said Avitrol is the answer in some places, but not downtown Springfield.
When someone working on behalf of the city asked his company for advice prior to awarding Soules his contract, Hockenyos recommended trapping pest birds, then sterilizing them.
"We would be taking the birds out of downtown in a somewhat controlled process," Hockenyos said. "We told them that there would not be a sudden diminishing of the birds. If there were some bird people — PETA-type people — there would be no alarm. We made a proposal. They elected to go with the other fella.
"I don't want to get into a controversy between us and them. He got his contract. He performed as he said he would. I'm not going to come in with sour grapes."
The city has no plans to cancel Soules' contract.
"If he says he doesn't use it, we'll take him at his word," Slottag said. "I don't know that anyone has stepped forward with any kind of proof that there have been any birds killed with this kind of technique. Take a look outside and see how many birds are not around.
"I think he's been very successful."

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Attorney General Mike DeWine joined students Friday to release balloons honoring Ohio's 690 missing children and urged the public not to give up hope that those who disappeared might be found.
DeWine pointed to the high-profile case of three women -- two of whom disappeared as teenagers -- who were found in a Cleveland home where they say they were held captive for about a decade. The man charged with kidnapping and raping them is expected to plead not guilty.
"Some of these children have been missing for decades, but the discovery of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight in Cleveland this month reminds us that we can't give up hope," DeWine said in a statement.
Ohio's 690 cases include some people who disappeared as children as far back as the 1960s but would now be adults. Students at Columbus Preparatory Academy launched blue and white balloons to represent the missing a day ahead of National Missing Children's Day on Saturday.
DeWine also released his annual report about the work of the Ohio Missing Children Clearinghouse, which was created 20 years ago as a central repository for information and statistics about the state's missing children.
Ohio had more than 19,000 reports of missing children last year, and about 60 percent of those were runaways, according to the report. Most were recovered safely.
DeWine urged families to teach children to properly use 911 and review where students can seek help if they find themselves in trouble on their routes to or from school.
"Facilitating the safe recovery of a missing child requires quick work and coordination -- both among agencies and with the critical help and input of the public," he wrote in a letter introducing the report to Gov. John Kasich and state legislative leaders. "We all need to do our part in helping these kids get home safely."

ETUI uses cookies (Cookies Policy for ETUI)
Representing more than one million hairdressing workers across the EU, the trade union UNI Europa Hair & Beauty and the hairdressing employers, Coiffure EU, have reached a new agreement on clear guidance for hairdressers to work in a healthy and safe environment throughout their careers.
The new agreement, which is the result of an autonomous initiative on the part of the workers and employers, builds on existing national best practices in the Member States that are effective in reducing occupational health risks. It addresses, in particular, specific risks like the use of materials, products and tools to protect the skin and respiratory tract and the need for sufficient space and ventilation in salons where chemical substances are transferred or mixed.
This agreement is a regulation by social partners for social partners and is tailor-made for small businesses, as hairdressing salons on average have less than three workers.
The costs of implementing the agreed prevention measures are low: estimates range from less than fifty cents per customer, or just over 1% of the annual turnover of an average salon. At the same time, the benefits are clear for employers and workers alike in terms of lowering sick leave and absenteeism, reducing turnover of staff, and diminishing treatment and follow-up costs for health systems in treating occupational diseases.
The signatory parties Coiffure EU and UNI Europa Hair & Beauty will now ask the Commission for their agreement to be made legally binding in the EU. Before presenting a legislative proposal to the Council of Ministers, the Commission will carry out an assessment of the representative status of the signatory parties, their mandate and the legality of each clause of the agreement in relation to existing Union law.
Hairdressing is the most high risk profession for occupational skin diseases. In some countries up to 70% of hairdressers suffer from work-related skin damage such as dermatitis at some point during their career, which is least 10 times more than the average for workers of all sectors. Almost 40% of hairdressers report musculoskeletal complaints, five times more than the rate for workers of all sectors. Source:European Commission
