Story of a Man: Episode 6
by javabeans
Fun, funny, and intriguing.
This is shaping up to a great drama. I was all set to crown The Return of Iljimae as the best drama of the year (it's certainly up there), and then Story of a Man comes along… If the episodes get any better, I'm going to have to start adding expletives in front of my adjectives — as in, *[bleeping] amazing!*
YB (Yoon Do Hyun Band) – "후회 없어" (No Regrets) [ Download ]
Mun-ho and Shin take a drive to scope out their target, while Mun-ho explains how he discovered Kyung-tae's talent for making money. When Kyung-tae's mother had died (Mun-ho's sister), Kyung-tae was left in Mun-ho's care, and for a couple months they'd been homeless, sleeping in the subway with newspapers for blankets. One day he found Kyung-tae reading the finance section, who then asked his uncle for some money. Somehow, he turned 1 million won (about $750) into ten times that within one month.
Arriving outside Chae Dong Construction's building, Shin says he wants to see the chairman trembling on the bridge over the Han River. Then, Shin could relay the words of scorn his brother received: "If you fall in, you'll pollute the water."
Mun-ho: "Guys with money don't commit suicide. That's what guys without money do."
Shin: "That's why we have to show them. We have to make them realize what it's like to be poor."
Kyung-tae digs up news regarding a new land development deal in Zhuhai, China. It's on a huge scale, and therefore not merely a Chae Dong project but a joint partnership with multiple companies — worth hundreds of billions of won (or hundreds of millions of dollars).
Shin sums up the situation: "So you're saying that if we work this right, we can shake Chae Dong up really badly." That certainly piques Jae-myung's interest.
Do-woo has the same thought, and says so in a meeting that he takes with Director Oh at the bar. He knows the Zhuhai project was concocted by his father, who used bribes and lies to get in on the deal. But it could hurt the company if mishandled; thus he advises backing out.
Director Oh says in his simpering way that Chairman Chae can handle it. Do-woo wonders if his father knows that Director Oh is here to see him, which the other man nervously denies. Perhaps surprisingly, Do-woo answers that he likes that about Dir. Oh, because it shows he's looking out for himself: "You don't know whether it'll be my father or me who ends up with Chae Dong, and who will benefit you more."
After he leaves, Do-woo tells K (Kei?) that there's sure to be a broker involved to liaise between the Korean construction companies and the Chinese bureaucrats. He orders him to find out who.
The Dream Team is also on the hunt for the name of the Chinese broker. Jae-myung gets in touch with his foster father (from L.A.'s Chinatown, where he grew up), who's involved with some organized crime himself, and gets the name of a contact.
Jae-myung takes Shin along, asking, "Do you know how to fight?" Shin will have to go through a test before meeting the boss. Once they arrive, Shin tenses in preparation, counting the burly tough guys who start approaching, growing increasingly alarmed as more join them until they are surrounded.
Jae-myung tells Shin cryptically, "Leave the fighting to the dumb guys. Smart guys avoid them." He pushes Shin into one of the guys, and Shin strikes out first.
I freaking love the exasperated "WTF?" look Shin shoots Jae-myung when the latter doesn't jump into the fight. But he doesn't have time to think, because the others attack, and Shin has his hands full fighting them off.
Jae-myung watches with amusement until an older man comes outside and shouts at his boys: "What the hell are you doing? Why are you fighting with a guest?"
The men protest that Shin started it. Shin looks over at Jae-myung, peeved: "You said to fight. You said it was a test!" Jae-myung gives him the thumbs-up: Hey, he passed.
With the help of the elderly boss (who owes Jae-myung's foster father a favor), they get the name of the main broker of the Zhuhai deal, who happens to be the Zhuhai mayor's brother: Fujin Pei. (Apologies if this spelling is wrong; I'm working off the Korean pronunciation.) With this information, they can drop strategic rumors into the ears of the Chae Dong people and therefore manipulate the deal.
Mun-ho has a colorful past as a successful scam artist, but he's been retired for a while and doesn't feel comfortable jumping into a con right away. Shin says that's no problem — they don't need to pose as Fujin Pei yet. An important man like Fujin should have a middleman. Someone who speaks English and Chinese. Someone like Jae-myung.
Jae-myung is unaware that he's just been named their lead con man, and Shin takes this moment to enjoy returning the smug thumbs-up.
Sure enough, the rumors trickle into the right ears, and Director Oh relays them to Chairman Chae. Because the information has come through secret reports that can only be accessed by those in the most powerful business circles, he doesn't suspect their validity.
Chae wants to meet Fujin Pei immediately, before the other real estate developers get to him first. Director Oh is instructed to make it happen.
Mun-ho's past as a con man included top-notch disguising abilities, so he calls in his former buddies to outfit the Dream Team. Shin and Kyung-tae break into the chairman's office by posing as janitors, and Kyung-tae hacks into the computer.
Kyung-tae pulls up the chairman's agenda, and Shin takes note of a meeting scheduled at the Lion's Club with a parliament member, Assemblyman Cha. Kyung-tae installs a hacking program "Mazinga.exe" (Mazinga = Mazinger), a spyware program. (I know this scene isn't meant to recall the computer scene in Zoolander, but… *giggles anyway*)
The following scene at the bar shows us a glimpse into the developing Do-woo and Kyung-ah relationship, which I think is going to be quite interesting.
A bar girl whines that Do-woo's girlfriend is at the bar looking for him, disappointed that the man is already taken (and by such an un-glam, "old-fashioned" girl, at that). Kyung-ah acts unconcerned, but the other hostess tells her she's not fooling anyone; they all know she had her sights on Do-woo.
The visitor is actually Eun-soo, who was directed here by people at Do-woo's (former) office. However, Kyung-ah assumes this is his girlfriend and greets her politely, as though determined to be cool, to not feel anything about Do-woo having a girlfriend. The misconception is furthered by the fact that Eun-soo calls him "oppa" — which can be easily misconstrued as boyfriend-oppa instead of brother-oppa.
However, the fact that Kyung-ah's bending over backwards to be understanding hints that she is more interested than she lets on. Assuming that Do-woo's girlfriend must be worried to hear her boyfriend spends so much time at a hostess bar, Kyung-ah assures Eun-soo that he uses the empty room as an office. When Eun-soo says he hasn't been home in a week, Kyung-ah has the tiniest disappointed reaction to the word "home," because it suggests that Do-woo lives with his girlfriend.
Kyung-ah offers to take Eun-soo to Do-woo, who spends this time of day playing piano with the jazz band. Eun-soo notes that Do-woo is smiling — an unusual enough occurrence — and Kyung-ah concurs, saying that it wasn't until she saw him playing the piano that she saw him smile for the first time.
Kyung-ah feels the need to clarify her relationship with Do-woo, telling Eun-soo not to misunderstand, because she has a strictly business relationship with him. (The lady doth protest too much…) She merely facilitates his business meetings by keeping the atmosphere alive and the drinks flowing.
Eun-soo then introduces herself as Do-woo's younger sister, and at that, Kyung-ah has to smile. Abashed (but relieved), she admits that she was the one who misunderstood the situation. Eun-soo senses there's interest between the pair, and tells Kyung-ah, "I'm glad my brother has such a nice person with him."
Eun-soo asks Kyung-ah to convey a message to Do-woo: that she's going on a (marriage-minded) blind date tomorrow, and that he should drop by home periodically, before she's sold off in marriage. Kyung-ah feels that that's a rather personal message to entrust to a stranger, but Eun-soo smiles, as though assured of Do-woo and Kyung-ah's budding relationship.
And the scam gets rolling!
Decked out in business suits, Shin and Jae-myung arrive at the exclusive members-only Lion's Club. Jae-myung doesn't have membership, but he flirts with the female clerk so outrageously that she ushers him to a table anyway. He's posing as Chinese businessman "Jamie Chang" and speaks in English, and while the English pick-up lines are horribly cheesy, I suppose it's the point.
Once seated, Jae-myung spots Chairman Chae a few tables away, sitting with Assemblyman Cha and Cha's son (who is Eun-soo's blind date). This is a political move for both fathers, and a mutually beneficial one, as Cha reminds his son, "A politician needs money first, and then an attentive wife. Now, if that wife already has money…"
Shin poses as an employee of a land development company and pretends to be on an important phone call while entering the men's restroom, strategically dropping the name "Fujin Pei" so that Director Oh overhears. Shin enters a stall for privacy, knowing that Oh will eavesdrop on his conversation.
Thus Director Oh hears that Fujin Pei's right-hand man, Jamie Chang, is here. This suggests that a rival may get their hands on Fujin Pei before they can, so Chairman Chae orders Oh to go get Jamie.
Shin and Jae-myung have their faux-meeting in plain view of the others, then rise to exit — noting that Director Oh frantically follows, trying to intercept Jamie.
The plan is going well, but Jae-myung comments to Shin that this isn't his preferred method of revenge — he'd rather kidnap the chairman, set fire to his car, end of story. Eye for an eye. Shin, on the other hand, has a more sophisticated view of revenge, and jokes that Jae-myung's too much of a "nice guy."
And then, the elevator doors open and reveal Eun-soo, who is arriving for her blind date.
It is hi-la-ri-ous as both Shin and Jae-myung sorta roll their eyes as if to say, "You have GOT to be kidding me." Shin acts fast to distract Director Oh, because if he sees Eun-soo recognizing Shin and Jae-myung, their cover is blown. While Director Oh's attention is diverted, Shin shoves Eun-soo into the elevator and confronts her.
He reminds her, "When you visited me in prison, you asked what I wanted, and said you'd do whatever I asked. So pretend you didn't see us today. That's what I want. Can you do that?"
She asks whether he has some sort of connection with her father. Shin just wants a yes or no answer — will she keep it a secret, or not? (Jae-myung impatiently suggests, "Let's kidnap her," to which Shin interrupts, "You think we're in L.A.?" Haha.)
In terse silence, Shin and Jae-myung try to brainstorm the best way to deal with this situation. As the doors open, Eun-soo surprises Shin by blurting out that she'll keep the secret. (Is this a case of extended guilt? Or budding interest in Shin? The look on her face is interesting…)
Of course, this is also the moment that Do-woo, from across the lobby, spies them leaving the elevator. Suspicious, Do-woo inquires at the front desk about a man bearing Jae-myung's description, and is given the fake business card that Shin used. (It bears the name of a construction company.)
Shin tries to explain that he feels they can trust Eun-soo, and doesn't want to abort the mission. It's too late to give up, anyhow — the fish has already gone for the bait.
That fish being Director Oh, who stumbles in broken English to introduce himself to Jamie. (He also chats up Jamie's guide for information — Joong-ho in disguise.) All the while, K records this exchange on a digital camera.
Jae-myung dislikes complicated plans, but I love them — just think about it! In this scene alone, we have K watching Director Oh, who is watching Jae-myung, who is posing as Jamie Chang, who is posing as Fujin Pei's right-hand man.
Do-woo has come to see how his little sister's date went, and meets her at the bar afterward. She tells him that she liked Jenny, and figures, "You liked her too, right? That's why you showed her where you play piano, and show her your smile."
Eun-soo talks to her brother warmly, but he notices that she won't look him in the eye. He asks, "Do you have anything to say to me?" Eun-soo knows what Do-woo is hinting at, but perhaps she's not ready to have this conversation, so she shakes her head no. Uncomfortable now, she starts to get up to leave, but he stops her.
Do-woo: "I'm okay being fired from the company after ten years, or being hated by Father. Those are just uncomfortable, but they don't worry me — I don't spare more than ten minutes thinking about those things. But Eun-soo, if you and I aren't on the same side, if you think of me as your opponent, I won't be able to bear it. And when I say I can't bear it, I really can't. I'm afraid that's what'll happen."
(It's creepy, in an awesome way.)
After closing up the restaurant, Shin helps take his nieces home. On the bus ride, he promises his sister-in-law that he'll earn enough money to send her and the girls abroad within a couple of years, thinking it'll make her happy. But on the contrary, it makes Myung-sun nervous: "Are you doing things against the law in order to get revenge for the girls' father?" After all, there's no way he could have lawfully earned so much money in such a short time.
She tells him not to do it, and he asks, "You don't want to be rich?" Myung-sun has a simple, honest perspective: "What's the point in getting rich illegally?" Even if she had money, she wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
Shin responds with what is pretty much the crux of this drama:
Shin: "You still don't understand. If you have enough money, you won't get caught by the law. And even if you do, you can escape. That's what the law is. After seeing Hyung die, don't you get it?"
This is no consolation for Myung-sun, who pleads for Shin to be content with Kyung-ah and live a comfortable, honest life.
Shin: "I want to try being rich. While I'm at it, I want to do it by taking money from the guys who killed Hyung. That money was made ignoring the law in the first place. So I can ignore the law and take it myself. I can do it. I'll make you a promise — I'm going to bring home an old man one day and make him bow his head and beg to you on his knees. When I do, spit in his face. I'll make that happen. I can do it."
That scares Myung-sun, who doesn't respond.
Kyung-ah (who has a pretty good head for stocks herself) reads reports of another company about to go under due to Do-woo's work. She asks if he feels even a little sorry to the other party, and he responds, "I don't see people, I see charts. It's hard to feel sorry toward charts."
Do-woo asks a seemingly random question: Did she have a dream when she was young? To be someone, or have something? Kyung-ah answers yes: A nice house with a large lawn and white lace curtains.
She asks him the same thing — did he have a dream? This sends Do-woo into a childhood flashback, when his sister had asked that question. In order to find his answer to that, Young Do-woo had picked a random book from the shelf, which happened to be about Monaco.
Do-woo tells Kyung-ah, "I'd once thought I'd like to have it," with "it" meaning Monaco. Not for any particular reason; he just decided that having Monaco would be his first dream. He wonders, "Are other people different? Is there a special method for having a dream?"
Kyung-ah wonders, "If you can't get what you want, what do you do?"
Do-woo has to think about this, as though it's something he's never had to consider — and maybe he hasn't. He sighs, "I don't know. I've never not gotten what I wanted."
The next day, Do-woo walks into his father's office, disregarding attempts to stop him, as he is now persona non grata at Chae Dong. Ignoring his father's aggravation, Do-woo says he was concerned about him, regarding Fujin Pei — something is fishy about the man's representative.
Chairman Chae ignores this and yells at his son to get out. At this unhelpful reaction, Do-woo says in a resigned tone, "You could have made use of a son like me."
The chairman blusters, "A normal father wouldn't use his son. And a normal son wouldn't try to get rid of his father!"
Do-woo leans over his father's desk — slowly, almost menacingly, causing his father to gulp nervously. He tells him, "I wanted to help you. That's why I came. I'm saddened, Father."
And then he smirks, ever so slightly, and leaves.
Chairman Chae had acted like he didn't care about Do-woo's warning, but as soon as he's gone, he orders Director Oh to check out Jamie Chang.
Thanks to Kyung-tae's hacking program, he's immediately alerted when Director Oh and Chae's secretary go online and look up a website — the spy software shows what sites they're on, giving him the opportunity to put up a fake site. (Clever!)
The Dream Team is able to watch as the other computer searches the website of the law firm where Jamie Chang supposedly works, and clicks on his profile. This confirms Jamie's identity and allays Director Oh's concerns.
With those suspicions calmed, Director Oh acts on leaked information that says Fujin Pei is arriving secretly in Korea the next day. He puts together a grand welcome in order to woo the man to their side.
Director Oh sweats a little when Fujin doesn't show at the airport gate, which is when Shin again strategically name-drops within Director Oh's earshot. According to Shin, Fujin Pei is arriving at the VIP entrance, and Director Oh follows along. Once there, Oh steps forward to greet the Chinese man — who is actually Mun-ho in disguise.
All the while, K records this exchange from a distance and sends the video feed to Do-woo… who most certainly recognizes one of the parties involved. OH SNAP.
This drama sure has an awesome ending song, doesn't it? When those strings kick in, my heart beat kicks it up a notch.
While watching this week's episodes, I had the thought that the recent Dream Team caper vibe of Story of a Man vaguely recalls what Tazza (the drama) was aiming for, only it does everything better. Stronger acting and a tighter story, for instance.
In the first four episodes, I had mad love for the character of Do-woo (followed by a distant but distinct second in Kyung-tae) because he was so damn fascinating. I still dig Do-woo (as I mention below), but I'm glad that Shin is starting to make up some ground. In the early episodes, he was generally fine but didn't stir a deep interest in me. But now, as he pulls his big scam together, I'm finding him more charismatic and entertaining. I've never been a particular Park Yong-ha fan (mostly because I didn't like his previous dramas), but this drama may turn me around — I definitely like the tough, scrappy character here better than his previous softer image.
I loved the bus scene in this episode, which pretty much encapsulates Shin's raison d'être in this drama. Is what he's doing illegal? Yes. Is it wrong? I… don't know. Probably, although he is sympathetic — he would never have hurt anyone had the immoral corporation not messed with him first. Is he sliding down a slippery slope with his justification for his actions? Oh hell yeah — we can see him tumbling headlong into moral ambiguity, which makes his potential future path rife with tension.
Regarding the loan shark he took down in the previous episode: The illegality of Shin's theft may be somewhat mitigated by the fact that he was helping the authorities take down an illegal gambling ring, as well as putting away a violent loan shark who terrorizes his victims. He just happened to take a cut of the cash for his trouble. In a real-life person, my reaction might be different, but fictional heroes might get a little more leeway, because they're fictional. So I can let go of Shin's vigilante streak in this case because he didn't hurt anyone physically, he didn't ruin anyone who was living honestly, and his "revenge" wasn't even too mean-spirited — he cleaned up a dirty situation more than took revenge.
On the other hand, who knows how morality will play out later. Will Shin will get his revenge? Will he have to pay a price? Maybe he'll give up revenge to save his soul — who knows. That's what we'll have to wait to find out.
Do-woo continues to be a cipher, in the best way. What the heck is he planning? He must have a plan, he must know what he's doing… but so far, it's like he (and/or Kim Kang-woo) only let us see exactly how much he wants us to see — so we are at his mercy.
I was struck with his line to his father, because I had thought the same thing — that if the chairman were a shrewder man, he could have used Do-woo. On one hand, I don't think Do-woo would have let himself BE used… but I think he means, rather, that they could have played on the same side. Chairman Chae would have had to defer to his son in that scenario, which one gets the sense he is absolutely unwilling to do. He may fear his son but he damn well won't bow before him. Foolish, short-sighted man, right? Because if he were truly clever — clever like his son Do-woo — he would have opted for another tactic, the only tactic that would have worked with Do-woo, and that is to give Do-woo the lead.
This, in fact, is Do-woo's own strategy — to defer to others when it makes political sense. I was surprised early on that Do-woo would acquiesce to those more powerful than him. Remember when his friend forces him to drink and call him "father" in Episode 2, and Do-woo complies? Or how he meekly steps aside after his father fires him in Episode 5? I expected Do-woo to have more outward pride, because that's what we expect of our control-freak alpha males. But that isn't how he works, because that just acts as a hindrance to his endgame. And what payeth pride when there is money to be earned?
If the chairman had allowed Do-woo his head in doing what he is capable of doing, they could have both benefited. Instead, he cast out his son, and created an enemy. Now, the parties have taken their corners: Shin versus Chae Dong versus Do-woo. But if Shin and Do-woo both want to bring Chae Dong down, does that put them on the same side? On the other hand, maybe Do-woo just wants to weaken Chae Dong enough to take it over, rather than destroy it. I don't know. THE PLOT THICKENS.
Also, how creepy is Do-woo's sketch?

I also enjoyed this ep! I love how they can make the drama serious, but not serious at every minute and make it refreshing at the same time.
I think 09 will be such a better year in the drama area compared to the last few years. It's only 4 months into the new year and we've already experienced quite a few great dramas to start with.

I've been looking for a new k-drama to watch but sadly none has taken my fancy, especially those aired last year. I always check out your site to find if there is something good being shown right now in korea. Boys over flowers is a big disappointment for me, sorry to the fans of this drama, maybe because i'm such a huge Hanadan fan. At first, i'm not really interested in Story of A Man, because I thought it has the same plot as Green Rose, boy I was wrong. Now I always look forward to your recaps regarding this drama. It seems to have an interesting plot and strong characterizations. I can't wait to watch it with english subs *sigh* so for now I will rely to your recaps. Great summarization by the way. Thanks for being a big help to us non-korean fans of k-drama.

your recaps make me wanna go and watch this drama. it sounds fun and entertaining.
i am still suffering from the withdrawal symptoms of BBF. it'll be good if i have something else to obsess over..:)

Thank you~ :)

yep!!thank you javabeans for your great recap..
i can't wait to watch this drama on KBSW..

I'm so glad you're recapping this series! I wasn't planning on watching it, but after reading your great reviews on ep 1&2, I started watching and now I'm hooked ^^
I don't know if its because I don't normally watch revenge/action dramas, but is it out of the ordinary for DoWoo to be so aware of Shin's plans for revenge?? Regardless...I love it! Normally, the good guy is always one step ahead of the bad guy, but in this drama, I have no idea what's going to happen next~ There have been many fascinating characters in dramas, but I haven't been this captivated by the PLOT in a long~~~ time.
Anyways, thanks for the recap! ^^

"Normally, the good guy is always one step ahead of the bad guy,..." LOL! Very interesting. My drama-viewing experience has been the exact opposite. I'm usually screaming my head off in frustration because the bad guys (especially in sageuks) seem to know and predict how the good guys are going to act and what they are going to do next. That's just my point of view.
Required fields are marked *
Okay, you cleared up a huge chunk of plot for me. Thank god you recapped this episode! XD
I'm curious to see how well Shin passes as an old man in the next episode. I saw a news article about it, and I think he looks ridiculous. XD Maybe it'll look better onscreen?
And random: Jae-myung has an odd Chinese accent, but I suppose that's to be expected when you learn a language for a role. Still, it made me giggle.
On a slightly rambling shipper note, I get all tingly thinking about Do-woo and Kyung-ah's blossoming relationship. I know that, logically, I should want her to get back with Shin..but she and Do-woo have awesome chemistry, and I love all the sly hints being dropped here and there that they're managing to worm their way under each other's skin. (Also, he's seriously adorable at the piano. I hope for more of this. <3)
I'm sensing the build-up of what will lead to betrayal eventually. Kyung-ah's going to have to betray one of the two guys somewhere down the line, but who will it be? Will she go with Do-woo, breaking Shin's heart? Will she go with Shin, destroying what little compassion Do-woo has for anyone other than Eun-soo? Or will something go horribly wrong and she'll die a tragic death? (I hope it's the first option. Much more interesting. Also, the CHEMISTRY.)
This love triangle has the potential for serious heartbreak on all sides. YAY for actually jeopardizing the main couple!

another fast and great recap from you!!!
I agree about your opinion about Park Yong Ha, although I do love his drama "ON AIR" which is romantic and fun for me...
however,his character is not as strong as Kim Shin....
he is really great here...
I do agree that the ending song is really nice.....hope you can post it for us...
have a nice weekend and cheers!!!

your recap filled me in a lot about the dream team's scheming. Thank you!
What I thought was really interesting is how Shin seems to be targeting Chairman Chae, while actually Do-woo is the one who's more directly responsible for his brother's death. Wasn't the whole man-doo factory thing a plan that Do-woo was executing on his own? And Chairman Chae was opposed to it in favor of his own plans - the whole Zuhai project? Or are the two projects not exclusive of each other?
In any case, Shin tells his sister-in-law that he'll bring an old man to her to one day to beg forgiveness for his brother's death. I don't think Shin's revenge is on Chae Dong the company as much as it is on persons who are responsible for his brother's death. Indeed the company itself (and $$) is part of the reason for the death of both Shin's brother and Jae-myung's father. But Shin is attacking Chae Dong because it is the purse of his enemy.
That said, Chairman Chae really had little, if nothing at all, to do with the deaths of Shin's brother and Jae-myung's father. At this point, the Dream Team is keeping tabs on the moves of the Chairman, while oblivious to Do-woo keeping tabs on them. If their plot successfully weakens the company, it puts the Chairman in a bad light and, I suspect, Do-woo in a good place to take over for good. If that happens, it would mean that the Dream Team just got played by Do-woo for his own gain when in fact Do-woo should have been their target all along.
I guess this leaves me with the question, is the Dream Team's "ultimate enemy" Chae Dong or a person? This is actually the same question that's posed when they first assemble at the end of episode 5 - what if the enemy is not just one man? What if it's huge, like Chae Dong? So it seems they begin by targeting the company. But by doing that are they missing Do-woo? Is Do-woo synonymous with Chae Dong? Am I thinking about this way too deeply? Am I making any sense or am I way off? I think I've managed to thoroughly confuse myself...

No, you're making perfect sense and asking all of my own questions. The mis-guided Dream Team's objective is certainly allowing them to be used by Master Schemer DW. With two deaths under his watch, I'm looking forward to well-deserved consequences; be they physical, mental, spiritual, romantic, whatever. Let him find love, compassion, light and mercy and THEN LOSE IT!

How's the rating for this drama? Are people appreciating it as much as you are?
Required fields are marked *
I didn't expect a smiling - truly looked like he's happy - caps of Do-woo on the piano scene. I was [bleeping] out loud when I saw that! XD hahah...man, really can't wait for it to air on KBSworld in my country (which is a week late)...they'll have subtitles there..but already, your re-caps made me want to watch it JBeans :D Thank you for this, really~ ^^
and what's the odds for eun-soo to be interested in Shin? :P..what about Kyung-tae! lol..anyway, excuse me while I got all..'awh. KYUTE' over this one...
Required fields are marked *
initially, i thought that eun-soo would be paired up with kyung-tae, since they both seemed to have an innocent demeanor about them, but after seeing that kyung-ah is beginning to be interested in do-woo, it makes more sense for eun-soo to be paired with shin. do-woo is going to get closer to kyung-ah to find out more about shin and simultaneously drive a nail into shin's heart. i'm guessing shin will counter by going after eun-soo as a strategic payback. as to whether do-woo really cares about kyung-ah, my guess is probably not. she's going to be horrified once she finds out that he's done.
really great series so far.
Required fields are marked *
Currently the rating aren't that great but maybe it will pick up once people get into the momentum. Do Woo and Kyung Ah have great chemistry because they are more familiar with one another. They were in a movie together recently...called Marine Boy; hence the chemistry.
Required fields are marked *
@14 gleemonex - I don't know, I think that Do-woo is actually being affected by her. I'm not sure if he realizes it himself, though, which is going to make things interesting..
@15 cecee - Working together previously does not always been two actors will have chemistry. It just means they'll probably be more comfortable with each other. Chemistry can be completely separate from that. (Although I heard they had great chemistry in Marine Boy, too.)
I hope the ratings pick up at least a little.. People don't know what they're missing. :/

I'm feeling that Do Woo will "use" Shin for his own good soon. Gah~~
Wooh! I'm really loving this series! ^^

Thanks for the recap!
Shin has become an even more intriguing character since the first episdode.
When we first saw Shin he was a wretch, a low-life who'd rather waste his time doing nothing, rather than working. He wasn't necessarily a bad person - just a useless one. But after the death of his brother he becomes a different person who is totally consumed by revenge and focused on returning the suffering his brother and family endured. I'd really like to see how far he'd go in his plan of revenge: would he go as far as using Eun-Soo, a pure-hearted and completely innocent bystander to all of this? Does he even have it in him to hurt someone who tried to help him?
I wonder how long it will take before the "Dream Team" realizes that their true enemy is Do-Woo (someone who at this point has the upperhand since he's watching them while they are unsuspecting of him)?
As for the romantic relationships, it does seem like Do-Woo is being affected by Kyung-Ah but I perhaps this is part of his plan: he's watching Shin and he knows that Shin loves Kyung-Ah so maybe he's just keeping Kyung-Ah to hurt Shin in the future.
Eun-Soo seems to have feelings for Shin but since she's such a kind-hearted person, I'm not sure if those feelings are of attraction or because she feels guilty for her family's role in his family's demise. Kyung-Tae and Eun-Soo is a possible couple and I think Kyung-Tae harbors feelings for her (since he seemed to be really affected by her presence in the last episode) but so far Eun-Soo's just being her usual kind self to him.
I love the women in this show btw. Kyung-Ah is truly a strong woman and so is Eun-Soo (just in a quieter way). Although Kyung-Ah is recognized for her strength, the men around Eun-Soo don't seem to realize how strong and not naive she is (she may seem clueless to all the evil-doings but she's not dumb).
Anyways, I can't wait for the next episode. I really want to see how the plot develops and hopefully more people which watch this show because it needs some serious loving (it's such a good drama with so little ratings!)
Required fields are marked *
Like your insights about Eun-Soo's strength. Hope it's consistent throughout the drama, as well as her pure heart. This writer, Song Ji-Na, wrote another strong woman in Great Ambition (Daemong) who I'll never forget. Unfortunately, I haven't seen other dramas by her, but Lee Yo-Won was unforgettable, imo, as the "lady" who wanted to heal others, no matter their station in life.

Wow !!!! I love this drama. After the disappointment of EOE and making DC Jesus and all I was scared to watch another darker drama. In fact I waited until the end of Cain and Abel to see how bad the ending was. Now I know it will be ok to watch. But for this one I am not waiting...it is terrific. I look for your recaps as the subbing is taking longer which is ok. also..since they do a great job. As long as I have you Dramabeans I am good. In fact I read your site several times a day. When this is playing it is dead silent in my room...not even the animals dare make a sound...no land or cell phone....nothing.
So thank you for your writing which is excellent BTW. You and "Slingshot" are wonderful.

WOUAH. Too many dramas to watch. I will watch it to see if it worths watching it

I enjoy seeing Do-woo have the upper hand, long may it last! Makes me want to know how he'd thwart those who are out to thwart him! Looking forward to seeing how the arc with Kyung-ah turns out.
Thanks for the recaps!
Required fields are marked *
I'm confused at this Kyung-ah character. Does she loves Shin or does she not? If she does, yet she's already developing feelings for another guy? I'm feeling a slight hint of betrayal, but is it even betrayal if she's not with Shin?
Honestly, I don't care that much now since I've already made up my mind about my OTP: Shin x Kyung-tae. :D
Required fields are marked *
Perhaps I'm just nasty minded. Perhaps I've been paying attention in Lit. class. Whatever the case may be, I find it disturbing how the only person who can seemingly "complete" Do-Woo is Eun-Soo. That lingering thought just left me a bit... weirded out for a bit. I don't know where exactly I'm getting that impression from (maybe since last episode when we tried to pair everyone up?) but it hasn't left me yet and I really want that thought to go away. XD
Once again, the "Dream Team" made me smile many times and sigh with their angsty intensity... unfortunately, I know this isn't a disney type plot where everyone ends up happy, but I really really want everyone to have a happy ending >_<

I'm watching this drama too
the brother sorta seems like he likes (like REALLY likes) his younger sister...
sorta creepy!
but very good acting and i cant wait till next ep!!!
Required fields are marked *
waaah, you make me wanna watch this. but i know i cant deal with mind-blowing episodes when i'm dealing with stress in school. i'll wait till the series is over. but yeah, the way you describe the actors' acting has already blown me away. what more if i watch it. and good thing about this, i actually have soft spot in my heart for all the actors. I love PSY, ever since Fox Family. I love the girl playing EunSoo ever since golden bride. i love Kim KangWoo. I love PKW. and i like Park Yongha. basically, a series with actors i like. it's already a sign that i should really watch it!
Required fields are marked *
you know, yesterday I reread your previous ep's summary which you thought that Do Woo is asexual, and not interested to female...then it came to my mind, how would it be if he's attracted to Kyung Ah?
and now, in this ep, somehow he became more related to her...and I don't really mind if, finally he falls in love with her.
But, on other side, it would make his character more human, which I don't quite like, because his devilish character now is more interesting.
Yes, with this current state, it would possible if Shin will get closer to Eunsoo, and there's possibility she will fall for him rather than to Kyung Tae.. (well I actually agree that the latter makes cuter couple ).
At this point - I've already had some plots in mind how this drama would end...and most of them are not happy endings..which will be suit better for it.
Most of the main characters here are not "good persons", they have their own faults and sins, so why should they get a happy ending?
( and personally I like no happy ending for thriller drama like this, and a happy ending for a rom com, but that's just my own taste )
After being cut from my fast internet connection, I'll be slower in catching up this drama..sigh...so from now on I will be more rely on your recaps..thanks for dramabeans.com!
( eeeeer, sorry for the crappy English :P )

@ Alivina and Heebee:
I noticed Do-Woo's odd attachment to Eun-Soo as well. Especially with the lines:
"I'm okay being fired from the company after ten years, or being hated by Father. Those are just uncomfortable, but they don't worry me — I don't spare more than ten minutes thinking about those things. But Eun-soo, if you and I aren't on the same side, if you think of me as your opponent, I won't be able to bear it. And when I say I can't bear it, I really can't. I'm afraid that's what'll happen."
Hearing Do-Woo say that just made me cringe. I wonder if we're just over-analyzing things or if the writer was intended to hint at something incestuous. If it was intentional, then I hope the writer tones it down and/or gets rid of it because this is just plain CREEPY.
Required fields are marked *
Do you remember in episode 3 when Chae Do woo goes and visits Shin, and he introduces himself? Ever since that intro I get chills when I see him, even when he's being submissive. The voice echoes in my head and its like "he's calm but just wait until he starts to make moves the pwnage is coming."
& the whole scene with Eun Soo, what would he do if his sister turns on him? Would he do the same thing he did to his mom?

And to Shin's brother? And to Secretary Do?

Ahhh, I don't know if I can hold out for two more eps. This just looks soooo good!

Man, if this is for 2 hrs movie, I already enjoy it soo much, how awesome that it is actually a 120 episodes drama!
I hope it won't get draggy...so far it's getting sooo good.
( even I watched it without sub, I can feel the tense. And the last scene, really OH SNAP! )
I think Do Woo will use Shin to destroy his own father. It's now the battle of inteligence between the Dream Team and Chae Do Woo, and I'm reaalllyyy looking forward how the story will go.
Required fields are marked *
ah.. love. the. drama.
@djes: It's not 120 episodes; it's 20. (:
Anyway, I don't think that there's anything incestuous? I just think that he really sincerely loves his sister. And that he also admires her for her purity and kindness.
:D Can't wait for the next episode!!!! Yay for my favorite drama (so far) for 2009 (:

Will you be posting a summary of Ep 7 tonight? I am wondering if I should try to stay up and refresh the site over and over again like in the good ol' days of BBF. If not, I will just hit the hay and hope the recap is up tomorrow. I am not sure if you are religiously summarizing this drama--which is why I am asking.
I caught up on the show over the weekend (got sucked in very quickly) and although this genre is not my cup of tea, I am completely in love and lust with/crushing on Do-woo.
I keep rewinding and rewatching the scene (from ep 3...or 4?) of Do-Woo beating the hell out of his buddy--it's sexy, homoerotic, yaoi fanservicey, and beautiful shot. If Kyung-ah (I'm not a fan of the actress or of the character) and Do-Woo hook up, then I will probably stop watching, but if Do-Woo remains this asexual sociopath with homoerotic vibes, then I am all in.
And I am loving Do-Woo's relationship with his sister (whose character I adore, and I hope she has a bigger presence in coming episodes) and I hope it is developed more. He is vulnerable (as vulnerable as he can get) only with her, and I sense that she will have a hand in his downfall, and I want to see how he takes it.
Teehee: I foresee a weekend of marathoning everything Kim Kang-woo-related I can get my hands on :-) .

I don't speak a lick of Korean, so I get dorkily excited about stupid things that I can actually read/understand in English. This meant going full-on dorky when they pulled up Jamie Chang's profile on the Global Law Firm website. I froze the frame on the bio and giggled when I noticed the typo in his name and then further on when it became clear that someone just ganked the bio from a real attorney. In fact, I find the picking and choosing they did from the real site (http://kimbae.com/attorney.html) just hilarious.
Meanwhile, I am supposed to be rooting for the Do Woo-Kyung Ah couple, right? I felt giddy watching the piano scene.

At first i watched this drama because of Park Yong Ha. Now i am attracted to the storyline and the billiant plots. Each character is unquie and the actors and actresses protrayed their characters pretty well. After on air, this is another drama to look out for. Hopefully the ratings will pick up soon and it will be a popular drama. If not, it will be a waste of talents. On the other hand, i hope the series will be more interesting and exciting to watch. Last but not least, thanks for the recap. It is enjoyable to read the reviews after watching it. ;) A man's story - i am still keeping my fingers cross.

I know that the villian and all the other characters act very well. But please don't forget that Park Yong Ha also did a great job in this drama. Everybody deserve a pat on the shoulders for adding dept in their respective character.

I finally watched this episode! Whoo!
1) DOWOO IS SO DAMN SEXY PLAYING JAZZ PIANO (or any piano at all, I guess). He is soooooooooo hot. And his smile? His GENIUNE smile, I mean, not that creepy one he totes around during arguments with his father...it's sooo to-die-for.
2) Jae-Myung is also really really hot when he speaks English, but yea, his pickup lines made me wince more than a little.
3) My words at the last 30 or so of this episode: "Oh, SNAP!" This is getting goooood!!!
I looove the intensity of this drama! Thanks for recapping!!

Do not know what to say! The drama is just killing me! The storyline, the shoot are well done and clear, Dowoo acts perfectly in his evil role, the innocent sister, the funny guy with his headphones, Shin is damm good! Oh I am in love with it!

OMG... I can´t believe such a GOOD drama get such LOW ratings.. Simply SHAMEFUL....
Required fields are marked *
@37: i did the same thing. I saw the typo, froze the frame, and noticed that they only tacked on one sentence about Jamie "Cahng" onto someone else's bio. haha.
I really liked this episode and how they managed to balance all the drama with humor (like Shin's gangster friend as the driver and Mun Ho's fashion team). And even when he's saying incredibly cheesy lines, Philip Lee's English sure is sexy.
The plot sure is thickening... I'm excited to see how the Shin-Kyung Ah-Do Woo triangle will play out. Shin is going to have to work much harder if he wants to outwit Do Woo and not lose Kyung Ah.
Thanks for the recap! i love reading your comments. :]
Required fields are marked *
Apart from the intriguing storyline, what I like best is the glimpses of interactions among the gangs; like how Shin reacted when Jaemyung pushed him into that fight or how Shin and Kyungtae did that finger-pointing thing when they were successful with the fake website information. These kinds of small things made the drame very much enjoyable to me!

I was one of those who suffered deep withdrawal symtoms after BOF. And thought I would not enjoy another drama quite so much after all that fuss! but surprisingly, Story of A Man renewed my interest again after I watched the 1st episode. This drama is intensed right from the beginning and the tension and plots thickens each new episode. Now this is my newest obsession! not in the same kind of obsession as BOF, but I am definitely craving for more of this drama after each episode!
Required fields are marked *
I really like the ending song too. It's timed perfectly and gets you on the edge of your seat. Most of the scenes are intense and great details are paid attention to, whether they're serious or comical. I'm late in watching this drama, but I just started watching K-dramas again since summer began. Awesome drama. Reminds me of All In because of the jail/revenge plot.

The cut to Do-woo's sketch was such a creepy moment. I actually got goosebumps. A lesser drama wouldn't have taken the time to put in something so irrelevant to keeping the plot moving. It's these little details that make 'Story of a Man' so savory.
I'm having so much fun with this drama!

So today I want to talk about a hair care company called "nuNAAT". They sell products for all hair types and textures. "nuNAAT" also uses ingredients such as Açaí, Aloe Vera, Argan Oil, Brazil Nut, Buriti, Fruit Complex, Garlic, Cocoa Butter, Cupuaçu, Green, Keratin, Pitanga, Shea Butter (Karité), Silk & Pearl Protein, Milk Protein, and Olive Oil. All of these ingredients mentioned above can help your hair gain nutrients, moisture/hydration, shine, softness, strong strands, and much more.
When I was gifted the Karité Special with Shea Butter Collection by nuNAAT, I was excited to try hair products with shea butter. The benefits of the Karité Special with Shea Butter Collection are:
- Packed with vitamin A, D, E and F
- Protects hair from harmful sun damage
- No oily buildup or greasy residue
- No clogged pores
- Re-hydrates, restores and revitalizes dry, damaged and brittle hair
- Restores natural brilliance to chemically-processed hair
- Protects hair from damage caused by daily flat iron use
This collection consists of 5 hair care products, a shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, leave-in conditioner, and heat protectant styling gel/cream. I have mixed feelings about some and I LOVE others. There is specific products that I ADORE and would recommend to anyone.
- This shampoo is your average shampoo expect is has shea butter. I saw little to no results from using this shampoo. Nothing too special. Also the packaging is cute and has a professional feel to it but doesn't hold a lot of product.
Karité Reconstructive Conditioner
- This conditioner is a good product. Again nothing too special but it does leave my hair feeling moisturized. Also the packaging is cute and has a professional feel to it but doesn't hold a lot of product.
Karité Special Deep Conditioning Hair Mask
- You get a lot of product for your buck. This big tub of conditioner will last you a long time, especially if you have short hair. It leaves your hair feeling soft and moisturized instantly after using it on your hair.
Karité Special Leave-In Detangler (Combing Cream)
- LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this leave-in conditioner/detangler. It leaves your hair feeling so moisturized and so soft. You can see an instant difference after using it. If you use the leave-in conditioner in your hair extensions, you'll notice a major difference after 1-2 weeks in your hair after only one use. Great product!
Karité Thermo Active Anti-Frizz
- I love how this defines my curls. Great product for if your smoothing out straight hair or putting curly hair into a ponytail. But with loose/out curly hair you barely notice a difference in frizz control after using.
Here is a picture of my hair after I used all of the products. This is my hair when it's half air-dried.
All nuNAAT products can be purchased at a variety of in-store retailers such as Walgreens, Walmart, Sally Beauty Supply, and Navarro Discount Pharmacy. If you don't have any of those retailers near by, you can also purchase nuNAAT products as these online retailers, Walgreens.com, Drugstore.com, and SallyBeauty.com.
I really recommend the Karité Special Leave-In Detangler (Combing Cream) to everyone!
Check out nuNAAT products! They had a large variety of hair care products for all textures.

The countdown is on! Only a week to go until Maundy Thursday, and the start to the Easter weekend. So, before taking a short blogging break over the Easter holidays, to spend some quality time with my kids, I had to of course share a couple of Easter related posts with you – starting with a fun and easy-peasy DIY.
Last year around Easter, my big boy and I went to an Easter family event at one of our local Berlin museums. Amongst other things, we made some colourful, feathered bunny ears, which we recently rediscovered during a big tidy up. No sooner found, than he was jumping around the house with them, putting on his best bunny face (see above) – and, as to be expected, his little brother wanted some bunny ears too!
So, taking the ears from last year as guidance, I constructed another set to restore some peace to our household (haha, yes, there's never really much peace, but at least they stopped fighting about the ears, lol). Of course, I documented everything along the way, so that I could share it as a little tutorial here with you!
Here's what you'll need:
- Three A3 sheets of thick craft paper or card in contrasting colours
- The bunny ear template (see below)
- Two coloured feathers
- A pencil
- Scissors
- Glue
- A stapler
>> download bunny ear template
Step 1: Cut out the templates, then cut two each of the large and small ear shapes, as well as a couple of strips about 4-5cm wide.
Step 2: Glue the smaller ear shapes on to the larger ones.
Step 3: Staple the strips of card to together, then staple them in to a ring to fit the circumference of the child's (or your?) head.
Step 4: Holding the feather in place, staple the feather and an on to the ring of card – I put one staple in the bottom of then feather, then another about 2cm above that, as well as two extra staples either side of the bottom of the ear. Try on the ring of card, figure out where you want to position the second ear, then staple that in place with the other feather in the same way.
Voila! One very ecstatic bunny!
And here's the other bunny, showing off the ears he made last year.
And here's two very over excited jumping bunnies coming right at me…
If you make some bunny ears of your own, I would love to see photos! You can find me on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook if you want to share any pics.

Having your children taken care of during special events, especially if you are invited to one as a guest, is hard to find on short notice. Maybe it is an unexpected party, or a wedding during a very popular vacation season. You might not be able to find a babysitter or caretaker to keep your child entertained back home while you are having fun. Sometimes, your children might be expected to show up with you, so you need to make sure that they are absolutely safe for the duration, but also that they do get to have some fun.
All sorts of events are covered
Whether it is a birthday party, a Christmas party, or maybe an anniversary of an important event, children need their entertainment. Depending on their age, they might not exactly be in the mood for the same kind of entertainment adults usually go for, and since they might be easily irritable if they don't get what they need, they might end up causing a scene, which is something you probably don't need. If you want to make sure that your kids are in professional and capable hands, having the time of their life alongside you, you should definitely look into hiring event child care professionals. They differ slightly from your average day care companies and individuals, because they don't come to your house, and you don't get to take your kids to their facility.
They come anywhere to need to
They come directly to where the event is, or maybe a couple of hours earlier to help set up all of the equipment they are going to need for their entertainment, and from there on out they will be welcoming the guests and taking care of the kids straight away. Depending on how much entertainment you were looking to organize for your children, you might have everything from deluxe packages including bouncy castles or clowns, to a few games your children can play with a professional entertainer.
Make sure that they are properly trained
A good thing to keep in mind is that not all event child care companies and individuals alike are doing this professionally. They might be good caretakers, but it is always better to know that they have been trained to take care of emergencies and injuries, and most of all, it's important that they have a certificate of some kind to prove that they have been trained properly, both in childcare and managing their equipment. While your children won't be exposed to any dangerous activities throughout the duration of the entertainment session, it's still nice to know that if anything goes wrong, the staff will be able to handle it.

... which is the reason it wasnt installed by default and marked experimental. Anyway you are seeing Compiz which is a window manager that provides the whiz bang effects and confusing that with the underlying framework. Metacity has a compositing manager with similar effects and Compiz can run on AIGLX too.

For me, watching this video make me feel really jealous, However, I agree with the Fedora development approach on the GLX issues but, Novel have all this candy "in the here and now", and I think that makes a big difference, are we talking Fedora 10 ?
Xorg 7.1 will be part of Fedora Core 6. Rahul

Why Gift Cards Make Better Incentives Than Cash
Why Gift Cards Make Better Incentives Than Cash
Courtesy/News Source: rpgcardservices.com
As a manager, you already know that motivated employees are better employees — that's why you're always looking for ways to better inspire and incentivize work. The only problem? Sometimes it's hard to know what incentives are actually motivating. If you think cash is the foolproof answer, think again. In fact, when looking for the best way to motivate staff members, stick with gift card incentives.
Why are gift card incentives such effective tools to reward and motivate your staff? Why should you use them instead of cash in your incentive program?To help answer these questions, here's a look at some key reasons that employees like getting gift cards more than cash:
- More memorable: Cash is great, but, let's face it, cash tends to be less memorable than a gift card. Why? Generally speaking, cash feels like compensation, while a gift card feels like a gift. When you receive a gift card, you can use it on whatever you like — and then every time you use that item, you remember how you earned it.
- More personal: Because purchasing a gift card involves the extra step of selecting the company and picking up or ordering the card, it usually feels more personal than cash. You have to pick from all kinds of options when you select the gift card — restaurant, retail, travel or something else. That's why this shows more thought than just writing a check or handing someone an envelope of cash. When you give your employees gift cards, you can let them know you are paying attention to what they value.
- Guilt-free spending: Give someone cash, and you give them the opportunity to do things like pay bills or pad savings — worthy efforts, but not necessarily enjoyable. Give a gift card, however, and you enable the recipient to spend money at the intended destination without any guilt about not using it for something immediately practical. Whether the gift card provides dinners out or the chance to go on a small shopping spree, it's an opportunity for the person to treat himself or herself to something special.
- Bragging rights: Most people feel it's bad form to brag about a cash bonus, but announcing you won a gift card typically feels less uncomfortable. This means your workers can talk to one another about their incentives, highlighting their value and driving more interest in your program.
- Better results: Perhaps the most compelling reason to use gift cards is that they work. According to research referenced by Innowave Marketing, three out of four respondents to a survey said they'd be more motivated by gift cards than cash. For the above reasons and more, people find gift cards more desirable than cash — and that's why they're worth using in your incentive programs.
The bottom line, when you're looking for the best way to incentivize your workplace, is that people like getting gift cards. Whether you're handing out gift cards from a nationwide pizza chain, a retail store or gas stations, you're offering something that has more of a motivating factor to recipients. When you're looking for the best way to drive better attendance, performance, sales or other measurable work behavior, consider gift cards!

Games have come a long way in putting fictional women in lead roles – but yet again it was largely white men that dominated the stages at the press conferences
For most gamers, early June is a kind of video-game Christmas. Summer brings E3 and its associated press conferences with the biggest names in publishing and development telling us what games and consoles to expect in the coming year.
For the most part, audiences are shown cinematic trailer after cinematic trailer of grizzled white men brandishing guns on missions they've "just gotta take alone" introduced by white dudes in a blazer/T-shirt/jeans/trainers combo.

SEO for IR Websites
The world of search engine optimization is extremely complex and fast-moving. You will hear over and over again that you need a complex SEO strategy, you need to hire an SEO professional, and you need to pay for expensive SEO analytics software. The truth is, Google, Bing and other search engines keep their search algorithms extremely secret, and no one really knows what's going on under the hood. They change often and sometimes without warning. There is an entire industry built upon trying to figure this all out.
This begs the question: what can a busy IR professional do to make sure content on their IR website is optimized for search results without investing a lot of time and money?
It's easier than you think.
Getting the SEO Fundamentals Right
- Make sure your site is secure. Your URL should start with "https" and your web browser should tell you the site is secure. This is no longer a best practice; it's a requirement. Make sure your hosting provider supports and recommends secure URLs.
- Your site should be responsive, meaning you have one website that responds to the screen size where it's being displayed. This could be an iPhone or a 42-inch television. Make sure your hosting platform is optimized for responsive display.
- Accessibility to all users is critical, so make sure your site meets WCAG 2.0 Levels A and AA recommendations. Make sure your hosting provider makes accessibility a priority, and gives you the tools to easily make changes to ensure all of your content is accessible to all users.
The SEO Mantra Holds: Content is King
- Make sure your site has accurate, relevant, up-to-date, and engaging content. This will always be the most important thing you can do. Because of the regulatory nature of IR, your site already contains a lot of automated, relevant content. But how do you differentiate? Target your users, not the search engines. Make sure your homepage is updated regularly. Don't just include upcoming events and recent news releases; have a short blurb describing the company, your products, and bullet out some recent results. Have a "Why Invest?" section on the homepage that is updated regularly. And make sure your CMS allows you to quickly update, preview, approve and publish content.
- Long live keywords. Use relevant keywords in your page titles, URLs and content. Examples of relevant keywords are your ticker symbol, your company name, your product names, and your officer names. The CMS you use should allow you to strategize on your title, URL, and content patterns, and insert them automatically when content is created.
- Know your limits. Meta descriptions should be kept to 150 characters, URLs to under 100 characters and page titles under 75. These levels not only impact SEO, but also accessibility and general user experience. Make sure your news release titles are of reasonable length! Most modern content management systems allow you to define these limits up front and intelligently truncate text so as not to negatively impact SEO. Ensure you are using this feature. And make sure you can customize the URLs easily.
Don't Use Boilerplate Content Across Your Site
- Image search is very widely used. Make sure your image file names are keyword- and SEO-friendly, and your image alt tags are specific and descriptive.
- Use canonical tagging when there is overlapping content. Do your IR site and your newsroom include the same news release? Decide which page is the preferred source and link to it in the canonical meta tag of the other page. Your CMS should allow you to do this easily.
Be Smart and Efficient with SEO Decisions
- Make sure your URL is used on as many external authoritative sources as possible, such as your company's page on Wikipedia, Facebook, Google Finance and Yahoo Finance. Always use your full URL in news releases.
- Make sure all of your pages include a feature that allows users to share them via social media easily.
- If a URL on your site changes, make sure you set up a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new URL. This helps users and search engines know that the URL of a page has changed.
- Make sure your website provider offers easy-to-use SEO tools built into the platform, including support for Open Graph, shortlinks and canonical tags.
You can't control search results, but you can influence them. This influence requires patience however, as changes in results are organic and take time. Be patient and be consistent in your approach and the improvements to your site's SEO will come.

This page is for non-automotive batteries. If you have a battery from your automobile that you need to dispose of, please see the Automotive Waste page.
With the rise of consumer electronics, batteries have become a nearly omnipresent facet of modern life. Whether they are powering handheld gaming systems or cell phones, power tools or remote controls, smoke detectors or watches, you may find it hard to find a room in your home that does not have batteries in it. So, what is one to do when those batteries need to be replaced?
The answer depends on the type of battery. Check whether the battery is rechargeable and what material it is. This information is usually printed on the battery. Rechargeable batteries can often be recycled. these include:
All of these can be recycled at Batteries + in Kennewick (321 N Columbia Center Boulevard, Kennewick, Washington 99336, 509-783-3400).
In addition to these, some devices use lead acid gel batteries. These tend to be common in non-automotive vehicles (e.g., electric wheelchairs, golf carts, RVs). These can often be recycled at the same place as car batteries (please see Automotive Waste). They may also be recycled at Batteries +.
Non-rechargeable batteries, such as alkaline or zinc-carbon batteries (9-volt, AA, AAA, C, D, etc.) and button-cell batteries ("watch" batteries), are not as widely collected. One recycling option for these batteries is provided by the company Battery Solutions. They provide a number of collection and shipping options for old batteries through the mail service. As the prices and level of service can range substantially between products, if you choose to utilize their services, please ensure that you pick the option that best works for you.

5 Simple Tricks and Tips for Using Instagram for Promotions
Instagram is not just a personal image-sharing site, but it can also be a serious business tool.
We all know that Instagram was originally intended as a photo-sharing site. Anyone can start an account to upload photos and to share it with the world. However, Instagram is not just a personal image-sharing site, but it can also be a serious business tool offering plenty of features. This articles is an attempt to offer you professional tips and tricks you can try on Instagram for ecommerce and business promotions.
1. Save Original Instagram Photos
Usually the social media applications to share images and videos do it by compressing the images. Compressed images may use only lesser data, which makes is for the users to access it. However, some people don't want to compromise on their original images. For them, there is an easy method introduced by Instagram for the users to save the original images. This feature can be selected from the options menu.
2. Keeping your account private
If you are aiming only at specific targeted people to share your pictures, you can custom set it on Instagram. When you open an account, all your post may be set for public, which you need to custom set as private. By adjusting privacy settings, it will allow you to be in charge of the people who can be allowed to follow you and restrict whom you don't want to be your real Instagram followers. Go to the options menu at your profile page and turn on the Private Account option to activate this setting.
3. Data saving on Instagram
In most of the countries, data is still a pricey affair and most of the users want to save on data. An ideal solution on Instagram is to go to the options menu and just click on the Cellular Data use tab. There you can select the option of Use Less Data, which will further enable low data browsing on Instagram.
4. Adding proper hashtags after posting
What are you to do if you want to add a hashtag after uploading your images? Instagram will not allow you to edit text after you've published a post like you can in Facebook. So, if you missed a hashtag, what you can do is to add those hashtags in the comment box below the post. These will the same way as the hashtags you put on the description.
5. Do Geo-tagging
Along with the images you clicked, most of the times, the place will be as important as the picture is. You may find people asking about it again and again if you post a beautiful photo with an admirable background. To avoid having to answer this question, you should geo-tag the images. It is simply tagging the picture with the location where you took it. Simply select the option of Photo Map when you upload a photo and you can see the place where it is clicked.
Bonus Tip
Write once, read many. If you are planning promotions through Instagram, you most likely want to also link your Instagram account with all your social media accounts. By doing this, each of your posts will be reaching different social media platforms, which will largely help your promotional efforts and give you the needed mileage on social media.

In Layman's terms, there are two kinds of apps on iOS 9.2: Trusted apps and untrusted apps. Based on the verification of an app, iOS allows you to run the app. If unable to run an app on iPhone, you will have to manually verify app on iPhone.
What are trusted and untrusted apps?
So there are two kinds of apps that run on iOS broadly, one is verified app and another one is unverified app. A verified app is like the app which has been already verified by Apple and needs to manual verification on your iOS device.
On the other hand, an unverified app is something like your personal app which you want to run on any of the iOS devices. So, when these apps are installed on iOS devices, they needs to be verified before being run on the devices.
A trusted app in iOS 9.2 is an app which has been installed using Mobile Device Management (MDM) or through the iOS app store. Apps which are mostly installed manually are not verified by iOS. Most of these apps are enterprise apps which are run internally in a company or by iOS developers.
If your app which you might be trying to install manually is untrusted here are the ways on
How to Manually verify app on iPhone:
- Install the app on your iOS device. When you install the app, the apple will show you the warning that your app is not trusted. You can ignore that warning. The warning looks like this:
- Go to Settings
Tap on "General"
Tap on "Device and profile management" under General settings
Under Device and Profile management settings, you will see your app profile listed. Tap on the app to verify the trust of the app.
Step 6: Once tapped on the app profile in step 5, you will be prompted to confirm your choice. Confirm it and your app is trusted on your iOS device now.
There could be a case when there could be more than one app from the same developer. In this case, all the apps from the same developers will get verified. However, once you delete all the apps from the same developer, the developer's trust on that iOS device will be revoked and you might have to follow the same set of instructions next time.

The Italian government has chosen a prominent scientist to take charge of the country's leading biomedical research institute with the goal of improving its precarious financial situation. But some researchers at the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS) are worried that implementing the needed fiscal reforms will also result in curtailing programs and cutting staff.
Gualtiero Ricciardi, professor of hygiene and public health at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Rome, began his new job today as ISS commissioner. He replaces Fabrizio Oleari, who became ISS president last year amid controversy about his scientific qualifications for the job.
Last month, the Italian government declared that ISS was in receivership "because of the financial situation of deficit recorded in the financial statements for two consecutive years," and on Tuesday Health Minister Beatrice Lorenzin named Ricciardi for a 6-month stint as ISS commissioner. Ricciardi now heads the Department of Public Health in Rome and is completing a 4-year term as president of the European Public Health Association.
The government took action after the Court of Auditors found that ISS operated with a €30 million hole in its €300 million budget during 2011 and 2012. The problems developed under Enrico Garaci, who led the institute from 2001 to 2013.
ISS is the leading technical and scientific public body of the Italian National Health Service. ISS focuses on cancer, vaccines, infectious and rare diseases, and environmental and public health, employing 1500 scientists. Its president also led an expert panel that examined the controversial cell therapy proposed by Stamina Foundation.
"The scientific profile of Ricciardi is unquestionable," comments Claudio Argentini, an ISS researcher and executive of a trade union for researchers, USB PI Ricerca. But Argentini worries that it may be "a pretext for the ministry" to carry out broader reforms, as have taken place in recent years at other Italian research institutions. Argentini notes that roughly 600 ISS researchers are employed on short-term contracts.
The Health Ministry has said that it expects Ricciardi not only to put ISS on a path to fiscal stability, but also to take the necessary steps to preserve its status as a world-class research facility. Paolo Del Giudice, an ISS physicist, hopes those changes don't come at the expense of the institute's independence.
"The mission of ISS, as the scientific body of the National Health Service, requires an appropriate level of autonomy," says Giudice, a member of the institute's scientific committee, which has been disbanded during the receivership. He says such autonomy also requires sustained public support to augment the funds that ISS scientists receive from competitive grants. The Italian government has cut funding for operating expenses by 13% in the past 5 years, he says, and "we expect the commissioner take action to reverse this trend."
Ricciardi says that he is honored by the appointment and that his goal is to both "make ends meet" and to bring ISS in line with the ministry's broader priorities for the National Health Service.

Internet marketing creates the possibility of reaching tons of people if performed correctly. For many companies, this method of advertising has proven extremely successful. This article will help you develop a better understanding of the basics behind this form of advertising.
Internet marketing is about staying up to date and looking for new ways to market your products. If you are not following the trend and missing some opportunities, your company will not be successful. Some of your customers will appreciate the efforts that your company makes in dealing with new technology and ideas and will hold your company and products in high regard.
Promotions and sales can help to boost your PageRank. If the deal you offer is good enough, consumer deals sites will offer links to your website. This is the same as a storefront offering a loss sale item to spin an income increase at a later date.
It is important for you to have a mailing list. Ask your customers if they would like to join your email list when they make a purchase, and add a form on your website to let them sign up. This information can be used to solicit customer feedback or contact customers with sales and special offers.
While a few bells and whistles can enhance your site, avoid making it too busy or distracting. Keep in mind that users generally take five seconds to decide if they are going to stay on a site or not. Use this knowledge to create a site that will tempt them to stay. If you can't accomplish this, chances are they'll leave your website to find a better one.
Do not market your online business only on the internet. You could attend conferences, trade shows and other events for instance. This nurtures a feeling of community between your business and the bloggers, and it makes the bloggers more likely to continue writing about your brand and products.
Like any other business endeavor, internet marketing required dedication and knowledge. Look for successful Internet marketers and ask them to help you start your system. Many veteran internet marketers give out free advice, and some mentor newbies for a fee. When choosing a system for internet marketing, make sure it suits your work style. Although results may come slowly at first, the marketing will soon be well worth what you put into it.
You should spend enough time to at least learn a little about web design. There are plenty of guides online that will teach you almost everything you need to know about HTML and CSS to get your web design training off on the right foot. Even if you can only spend a little bit of time on it each day you should.
Internet marketing is an effective way to get new customers. It is also a great tool to stay in touch with current and past customers as well. The Internet allows interaction never before possible. By adopting the strategies laid out in this article, you can reach out and make your mark in the world of Internet marketing.…

You are here: Home > Beef recipes
Published Tuesday, 12 November, 2013 by Jenna
Cut the beef up into small strips. Use the first cooking pan and start stove on medium heat. Stir up beef until brown. Poke it with a fork when you think it's done, to make sure it doesn't bleed. Set beef aside.
while waiting for the beef to cook, you can fill the pot up with water and set it on the stove on high. Wait until the water starts bubbling and then cook the noodles. Go two cups at a time so that it has time to really soak the noodles.
now go back to the cutting board and start on the veggies. Dice the onion, quarter the zucchini, and slice the carrots. Add the onion to the second cooking pan and stir for about five minutes. Add the zucchini, wait five minutes, then add the carrots. Add the bean sprouts for a couple minutes only. Once everything is cooked and ready, add the beef and the veggies to the pot with the noodles.
add the soy sauce and stir for a couple minutes. Serve warm. When serving, you can drizzle with hoi sin sauce. Just my opinion, but i think it tastes pretty darn good with hoi sin sauce. I drown it in that stuff.
Its too easy i force my 8year old sis to make it for me

Isaiah Washington speaks out, on camera for the first time, about the scandal that rocked primetime TV and cost him his job on "Grey's Anatomy."
"You really have to focus on tomorrow," says Isaiah, who is trying to move on from the gay-slur firestorm that finally led to his firing.
"Life goes on. Life is good," he says.
Isaiah adds, "I'm not angry. I'm not upset. I'm disappointed that the outcome came out the way it is."
Life does go on for Isaiah, whose character Dr. Preston Burke left the show without any hints for the future.
Right now, Isaiah is hard at work on a new project, playing a priest in the upcoming "The Least of These," and he's taking the time to say goodbye to his former castmates.
"It's good work," says Isaiah. "It's good material, and that's how it was on 'Grey's.' And I wish them well."
And Isaiah's former co-stars are wishing him well, too.
"Grey's" star Kate Walsh opened up to "Extra," saying, "It's a surprise, and I'm saddened by it. You know, he's a great actor."
Sara Ramirez is just as shocked about his sudden departure, which led Isaiah to say, "I am mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more."
Sara says, "I don't really know what to say except that I wish him the best. I really do, from the bottom of my heart I wish him the best."
Adds Isaiah, "I'm grateful and I'm blessed."

No surprises here, as it was the most watched freshman drama of the season, but ABC has renewed Once Upon a Time for a second season just in time for the first season finale. Co-creator Adam Horowitz broke the news early Thursday evening over Twitter, saying:
"It's official -- #OnceUponATime has been picked up for season 2.Thank you all so much for watching, we're beyond thrilled to continue on!"
— Adam Horowitz (@AdamHorowitzLA) May 11, 2012
Fans of the fairy tale series (myself included) eagerly await Sunday's finale, titled "A Land Without Magic," which Horowitz and fellow creator Edward Kitsis have promised is going to be a doozy. In an interview with TV Line earlier this week, Horowitz noted that the episode's ending would be game-changing and mind-blowing: "Our hope is that in those final moments, there is a combination of satisfaction and also intense surprise." Kitsis continued, "The emotion you'll be feeling is, "Holy, holy, holy s—t." Hopefully the actual story can live up to those intense promises.
Also renewed by ABC are returning sitcoms Modern Family, The Middle, and the surprise hit Suburgatory, along with ABC faves Grey's Anatomy, Castle, and Dancing With the Stars, which is rumored to have an all-star season in the works. The fates of other ABC shows Happy Endings, Don't Trust the B--- in Apt. 23, and Private Practice are still up in the air. (Cougar Town has already been picked up by TBS.)

Now Tucker, we have enough love to go around for you all! We love you guys! Have a fun weekend! You are a handsome one, by the way! 🙂
Hello good readers, this is Tucker the dog. Some of you may have noticed recent changes around here and come to the conclusion that I have somehow stolen control of the blog from my brother Dennis, but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, Dennis asked me to take over from him because he finally realized that he is young and silly, while I am older and wiser, not to mention better. Still unconvinced? Let's look at the facts. Come, Trixie! The game is afoot!
Starting at the most fundamental reason that I am better than Dennis, even a cursory review of established history will reveal that I have seniority around here. We investigators like to refer to this by the very specific legal term "firsties":
As if that were not sufficient in and of itself, I am also ISO 9001 certified to be the best vizsla dog around.
You can't argue with a certificate, especially one with a seal stamped on it! But if such powerful documentation is not enough to persuade everyone that I am the better vizsla dog, let's take a look at some empirical evidence. Here we see a screenshot of Dennis's first post here on the blog formerly known as Dennis's Diary of Destruction. Say, Dennis, how many comments did your first post get?
Two! That's right — two! Count them — on one paw! Now let's review a screenshot of MY first post:
How many comments there? Thirty-three! That's nearly twice as many comments as Dennis's first post, and mine didn't even have any words in it. Not only that, but it was created before I stole Dennis's passwords — ummm, I mean, before Dennis turned his blog over to me — which means that readers were EXPECTING to see Dennis, but got me instead, and were so thrilled they felt compelled to comment again and again. The people have spoken — they want less Dennis and more Tucker, and more Tucker they shall get.
Finally — and I hate to have to mention this — there is the matter of the vizsla standard. I don't like to brag, but I am such a marvelous paragon of vizsladom that I once appeared on the back cover of a vizsla publication.
Dennis, while clearly maybe some sort of hillbilly type of vizsla, has a few issues that would make it impossible for him to ever be taken seriously as a proper representation of the breed.
As you can see, his head is the wrong color. Also his ears are unusually long, and he has buck teeth and a little top-knot; in fact, from the neck up, he is a donkey. Sorry to have to bring this up, Dennis, but the people have a right to know.
By now it must be obvious to everyone why Dennis has given me the keys to his blog and slunk away in shame. In the future, I will be happy to accept any treats or toys that might have otherwise been sent to him.
The case of why Tucker is better than Dennis is closed.
Elementary, my dear Trixie. Elementary.
Truth be known, I believe the blog would benefit EVEN more by Trixie's taking khontrol!
you are ALL a mischievous bunch. lovable and mischievous!!!!
But, but Dennis the Visla Dog is SO MUCH MORE FUN than boring, perfect Tucker.
More Dennis, Less Tucker!
…anxiously awaiting rebuttal from dennis the vizsla.
While I know that Older is definitely better, maybe you should just be happy with like Tucker Tuesday like Tanner? Or maybe Trixie and Tucker Tuesday??
We think you have stolen and absconded and filched and taken away Dennis' blog Tucker. Shame on you, he's your little brother.
I knew it! i knew there's something fishy about Dennis…. he's a donkey!, that's what it is!
Tucker, I think you may be certified and certifiable, but keep it up. And I like your math. Mind handling my taxes next year?
Tucker you and Trixie looked really cool in your pictures today! We love you taking turns at doing the blog but we love Dennis too.
It is nice to share the blog – you would make a terrific Sherlock Holmes by the way.
Martha & Bailey xx
PS Tell Dennis plant does mean dig – and we have never understood why some flowers are called weeds and they get pulled up – then we help we get rows cos the weeds are now flowers! Seriously we are going to need therapy if we stay with this family much longer!
Yes, being first and oldest and wisest is most important. Dennis can be a bit foolish at times.
ISO certified, huh? That is impressive.
