![]() ![]() He was upfront with her that he wasn’t an easy person to live with (because he’s a dull man, a stickler for rules, and a total newbie at dating) but if she agreed to marry him, he’d do his best to do right by her.Įasier said than done. Then, I was ready to drop “Forever and Ever” because I didn’t get the fuss about a this slow-moving, timid, boring, not flashy, celibate chemistry professor. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I skipped over one of his dramas because I couldn’t believe that such an average-looking man could be hero material. The lead in “Forever and Ever” was a surprise to me. I guess we’ll have to watch it on dramacool. Good morning, I’ll open a thread for SiWan’s Tracer. That he performed in a gentleman-like manner (even Mr Darcy would approve) was itself swoon-worthy. I heard about his “No Kissing/Minimal Kissing/Chaste Kissing stipulation so I wondered how he could pull off a romantic lead without the usual physical affection. I’m shallow).īut because I was amused by his acting. And I remember skipping one of his historical dramas bec I thought he looked ugly (yes. One thing I like about the show is the actor. I had thought she was emailing another guy, but nope it was the professor Zhousheng Cheng. We weren’t told that after they met at the airport, they began communicating by email for months, and that he went back to Germany. The beginning is a bit confusing bec of the passage of time and difference of locations. □ I can’t recall much filler maybe bec the episodes revolved around the lead characters OR maybe bec I was just fast-forwarding? I told 30 episodes of “Forever and Ever” went quickly for me. I might give Forever and Ever a go – but O man…why 30 eps? □.

What do my cdrama faves tell about my general disposition in 2021? I need calm, soothing dramas where couples can have a mature relationship without the misunderstandings and hyper-emotional responses. “Forever and Ever” was my favorite Cdrama.

I have a watched a few of the episodes more than once and there is always something new to pick up. I couldn’t pass up the reference to Forever and Ever though which ended being my favorite drama (tied with You Are My Hero) of 2021. I’m not watching Bulgasal – but enjoy reading the comments and posts. You’re so lucky you know Chinese! This drama should be an easy watch. The guy is a boring, nerdy, slow-reacting Chemist but when he gets it, he’s faster than Speedy Gonzales at getting the task done. When I want something soothing, I watched “Forever and Ever.” I’m liking the steady, calming, marital companionship of the two. □ I’m watching Bulgasal out of curiosity, I want to know the female lead really was, back in time.

Opening Words / Welcome: This is typically the first thing that is said at the beginning of the wedding ceremony.This includes parents, wedding party, the officiant, and the couple, and is typically accompanied by music. Processional: The “wedding procession” is simply a fancy way of referring to the beginning of the ceremony when everyone walks in.Keep in mind that there are many different religious and cultural wedding traditions as well, but we’ve kept this list to the most common ideas for wedding ceremonies of all types. We’ve compiled a list of the most common wedding ceremony ideas below, accompanied by a description of each item. There are a number of traditional elements that are typically included in a wedding ceremony, as well as some unique ideas to consider adding to your wedding ceremony script. ![]() Surprises may be fun on most days, but surprising a couple with the content of their wedding ceremony will probably not go over very well. We highly recommend sending the couple a copy of your wedding ceremony script once you’ve finished it so they can see exactly what you plan to say – that way, if there are any changes they feel are necessary, you can make them before the big day. It’s extremely important that you discuss with the couple what they believe about marriage and their relationship, and how they feel toward one another, because as the officiant you’re in a position to put words in their mouth in front of all their friends and families. ![]() Failing to accurately reflect the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs of the couple being married can lead to some extremely cringe-worthy awkwardness, which is why so many couples hire a professional wedding officiant to perform their ceremony. While you can certainly write a wedding script however you’d like, it can be very helpful to use an outline to organize the things you’d like to say as the officiant.The most important thing to consider when writing a marriage ceremony is what the couple wants for their wedding day. That’s not to say that there are firm rules when deciding how to write a wedding ceremony script – there are no “official” rules to speak of – but a lack of structure or organization can leave attendees feeling confused and actually detract from the overall feeling of the ceremony. A marriage ceremony is a time-honored ritual which requires a bit of structure to feel sufficiently “ceremonial” for the couple and their guests.

Copper House: Quality Trumps Quantity in this Small House of Rich Materials On February 21st, 2023, Hino announced the postponing of Level-5's online event to March 9th, 2023. On February 4th, Hino released a new artwork of Sasanami, stating the news would come at the end of the month in Level-5's online event. Lastly, a new artwork depicting Sasanami gazing at a new character was released, with Hino stating he reigns supreme as a soccer player and stated the storyline had a major change to also revolve around him. At the end of the video, more news are stated to come on February, 2023, wherein Level-5 plans to release new information about the overview of the story, game systems, characters, animations, and additional undisclosed information. On the affiliated blog, Hino attached a video detailing how the Match System will work. On December 28th, 2022, Hino announced the promised news, redirecting to the game's website. On December 23rd, Hino assured the aforementioned crucial news would arrive five days later. ![]() On December 1st, Hino released an image of various character models wearing a new uniform to celebrate the Japanese national team advancing to the knockout stage of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. On the same day, Hino released a game movement screen and three storyboard roughs, assuring there would be crucial news by the end of the year. On August 22nd, Hino quote retweeted an illustration made for Inazuma Eleven's 14th anniversary, mentioning Victory Road news would be nearing. The original plan for the Great Road game was to focus on Sasanami building a team of past characters but was eventually changed to an original story separate from other Inazuma Eleven series. Hino announced that the game would be receiving a title change from Great Road to Victory Road to fit better with the new main story of the game. The refurbished development blog was updated after a year of absence. ![]() On July 21st, Hino announced Inazuma Eleven's latest work, redirecting to the new site and, releasing the logo for Victory Road and a new piece of artwork depicting Sasanami holding on to a new character. On July 15th, Hino announced the former blog for Inazuma Eleven Eiyuutachi no Great Road would be updated on the next week, releasing a piece of artwork depicting Sasanami getting intimidated by a new character. The building and character model were changed from the more realistic scale, seen in the early development of Ares no Tenbin and AC games, to the smaller scale and less detailed, similar to GO games. The video contained some new in-development footage of the game with several major characters from all three series appear in the background. The game was expected to release in 2021.Īfter a year with no update on the game, on April 2nd, 2021, Hino posted an update video on his blog. ![]() The story will focus on the new protagonist, Sasanami Unmei, a soccer-loving boy with a mental trauma which makes him unable to play soccer, who decided to join Raimon's soccer club as a manager after he met Endou Mamoru. Instead of following the Ares no Tenbin story as originally planned, the game would have a completely new storyline and would be a remake of the Football Frontier arc from the original Inazuma Eleven, and would feature characters from both the GO series and the Ares no Tenbin series as part of the same timeline. On April 1st, 2020, Hino announced an upcoming plan for the new game. In September of 2019, just before the airing of Inazuma Eleven Orion no Kokuin's final episode, Hino announced they decided restarting their game project, instead making a game called Inazuma Eleven Eiyuutachi no Great Road, which would add more story of the characters outside the Inazuma Eleven Ares no Tenbin series, and planned to release it on Spring 2020. ![]() Level-5 was originally developing the Inazuma Eleven Ares no Tenbin game, but after numerous delays and issues during production, the game was scrapped. The contemporary fence uses vertical pickets that end in a strong top rail instead of the traditional pickets that extend beyond the rail. Patti Pelock of CertainTeed, a vinyl fencing leader in the upper Midwest and Northeast, says, "Our contemporary lines are proving very popular for pool fencing because they have the visual appeal of a picket fence while complying with the safety requirements. The aluminum construction eliminates rust, while its finish withstands the moisture and chemicals found in the pool environment," explains Chad Hoover of Hoover Fence. "Fencing constructed with aluminum is a perfect choice to surround your pool.

![]() I am immersed by the subtleties and reminded of the threat that lies ahead. This makes me enjoy the fact that I'm not bogged down by the story but just as involved. The subtle changes to the stage give it a new life and that's just from the starting point. Yes, they could have started completely new but they chose (for now) to play safe. That gave a new and fresh take on a used stage. Then all of a sudden you're back at (for the umpteenth time) Green Hill Zone and your adventure begins, though not quite the same way as it was in the past. So much so, that it warps the fabric of reality itself. Heading back to Angel Island after hearing that something is out of the ordinary, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles (the island's residential guardian) find some Egg Robos (later transformed into the Egg Heavies) taking a gem emitting a strange yet MASSIVE surge of power. Shortly after clearing the main menu you get into the game intro: It's upbeat but there was a subtle dark tone to it. From the offset, we would experience a taste of things to come. Also, how the graphics of the fan groups' company logos were simulated to look like they would be from a 90s TV was a nice homage, then finally the title SONIC MANIA, after a short little animation reminiscent of the first Sonic game. First and foremost, they start strong with the traditional SEGA logo and the jingle of the past. Introductory ImpressionsĪn intro to a game can make or break the experience and I have to say: sometimes less is more. ![]() Keep this in mind as I continue to show the subtle differences between Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces. It was never a focus to ensure the work is of quality, but should it be that way, it would be a benefit not listed on the quota. The Call of Duty and Sports Franchises come to mind as they are near yearly products that come out with simply updated rosters or slightly improved graphics. Whereas a company project is more in line to simply crank out a product to meet a quota. While the above developers could easily fall into this category, the reason they are on the passion side is simply due to how much effort they put to making their games memorable. So long as the game has recognizable features, it will be sold as part of that franchise. These are the likes of Miyamoto's Mario, Aonuma's Link, and the early era of Sonic Team (Pre-Saturn) to name a few.Ī COMPANY project is simply fulfilling the objective of that company. They work with purpose, from their expectations, to make sure that the work they provide is worth the time, money, and energy of that product. To better explain, a PASSION project focuses on creating a product that perfectly meets or (at the very least) provides a satisfying experience to the audience/consumer. This could not be a better example of the core differences of what a passion project is, and what a company project is. ![]() As I have now played both games from start to finish, one truth struck out to me: There is a difference between a passion project and a company project. Little did these two games realize there is one critical difference between them. With that said, let us begin this road trip with:
![]() By teaching some words early through memorization, you make it possible for kids to read while they are learning to read. ![]() You can wait a full year until that system is fully in place before kids can read (as the older phonics programs used to recommend), but there is absolutely no research support for that. What kids are learning when they are taught phonics is how to recognize all words as if they are sight vocabulary. You could teach that as a pattern, of course, some old programs used to, but I guarantee it will take 5-year-olds longer to learn that "rule" (in a two-letter word if the first letter is "o" and the second letter is "f" the "f" makes a /v/ sound). There is only one word in the English language ("of") in which the "f" is associated with the /v/ sound. No one has ever found any negative consequences to teaching students to read particular words, and everyone agrees that you have to teach those words that do not follow letter-sound correspondence conventions. I'd worry that putting the memorization before the fundamental understanding would lead to unintended consequences. Maybe even memorize those "irregular" words. Repeated practice with that should lead to automaticity, no? Then, once they establish a sound understanding of the regular phonics rules, I'd teach the exceptions. Translated to reading: I'd spend more time teaching students the fundamentals of how sounds blend together to form words. Repeated practice with numbers, in a variety of ways, leads to automaticity, when students recognize that 2x2=4 without thinking. And it seems the new approach to doing that is to move away from endless "mad minutes," and focus on developing the fundamental understanding of why 2x2=4. Most agree that we eventually need to have math facts memorized-quick calculations and number fluency depend on it. I wonder how similar it is to the idea of memorizing math facts. Certainly students eventually need to have those lists memorized, and I think the idea of "brute-force" memorization may be the wrong approach. I'm not so sure I agree with having novice readers memorize word lists. ![]() There's a lot of news coming out of EVO 2022, so be sure to keep it on Shacknews for the latest updates. A second season's worth of characters is confirmed to be in development and a teaser will also air during Sunday's KOF 15 Grand Finals. The new 'XV' that transcends everything Since its debut in 1994, the KOF fighting game series has been driving the world to the excitement with its appealing characters and unique game system. The King of Fighters 15 will receive its third DLC team (Team Awakened Orochi) this coming Monday, but the reveal of the fourth DLC team will be unveiled this Sunday following the KOF 15 Grand Finals. ![]() This isn't all we'll hear about from SNK during EVO 2022. The rollback netcode update will release in Spring 2023 and will be based on the GGPO solution that's currently being used in The King of Fighters 15. Unfortunately, it will not be available for the Nintendo Switch or Google Stadia due to technical limitations. The latest in SNK’s premiere fighting games plays it. Rollback will be implemented in the game's PC (via both Steam and the Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions. The King of Fighters XV still feels left in the past when it comes to its single player offerings, but what it lacks in ambition, it makes up in solid fundamentals and. The King of Fighters series has built up a lot of momentum since 1994, and King of Fighters XV certainly keeps that going, if nothing else. While most of the attention was on The King of Fighters 15, the SNK team is still putting effort into Samurai Shodown and will be collaborating with Code Mystics to add rollback netcode in a forthcoming update. There is no timetable for crossplay, but SNK's team pledges more information as it becomes available. The game is currently available on PC (via Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. PCMag editors select and review products independently. Revealed during an SNK developer panel at EVO 2022, the team of KOF 15 Chief Produer Yasuyuki Oda, Assistant Producer Joshua Weatherford, and Game Director Kaito Soranaka confirmed that cross-platform play for The King of Fighters 15 is currently in the works. While new characters are on their way, crossplay also appears to be in development across the game's three supported platforms. This is also the first game in The King of Fighters series. However, a solid visual redesign, good netcode, original and returning. It was released on February 17, 2022, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S. It’s not perfect, it’s not easy to learn, and there are some characters missing that I feel are must-haves. I strongly recommend The King of Fighters XV. This includes what's next for the publisher's breakout hit, The King of Fighters 15. King of Fighters XV feels like a solid refinement of a lot of its predecessors, learning from their mistakes to become something altogether better here. SNK held a panel during Friday's opening day and revealed what's next for its line of games. ![]() It's been an exciting day at EVO 2022, especially for those who enjoy rollback netcode with their fighting games. Generally, 2nd-grade SPF (spruce, fir, pine) gives a longer span than SYP (Southern yellow pine). But again, the 2×6 is the best choice for heavy snow loads.Īlso, the lumber type for the rafter determines the span you can get. But generally, a 2×4 is a safe choice in an area that does not get much snow.īoth 2×4 and 2×6 rafters can get up to 22 feet spans for shed roofs. Light snow loads on roofs with 2×4 rafters may still wreak havoc if the pitch is closer to 3:12. But the slope of the roof is still critical here. More gravity equals more load.įor snow loads, 2×4 fits for light snow loads and the 2×6 rafter for heavy snow loads. It is basically down to gravity.įlat roofs tend to have more gravity weighing down on them. That is, roof structures with slopes that are less than 3:12. First, 2×4 should go nowhere near flat roof structures. ![]() Should I Use a 2×4 or 2×6 Rafter for a Shed Roof?įor shed roofs, lumber, roof slope, span, snow load, and wind determine the verdict between 2×4 or 2×6. The 2×4’s build does not fit flat roofs, no matter the spacing between the rafters. For slopes that are less than 3:12, the 2×6 rafter can serve. The 2×4 rafter goes for 3:12 slopes and greater. The slope of the roof also determines the rafter size you should use. ![]() Talking about caving in, the slope of the roof comes into play. You would not want your roof to cave in after it stands for some time. The 2×6 offers better structural support compared to the 2×4 rafter. It is wise to keep 2×4 rafters for small setups and 2×6 rafters for large ones. It is a no-brainer large structures have large roof sizes, and small ones have small roofs. So, the rafter size should match the roof size. The primary role of the rafter is to support the roof. On the other hand, it fits in conditions that translate to light snow loads.Īnother thing to consider is the size of the structures on which you intend to use the rafters. ![]() The 2×6 serves to support roofs in areas that get heavy snow loads.īut the 2×4 would not hold for long under heavy pressure. Wind deflection and snow load have parts to play in choosing between 2×4 or 2×6. Sometimes, you can use the 2×4 to achieve longer spans if the spacing between the rafters is less. The 2×4 rafter goes for shorter spans, and the 2×6 goes for longer roof spans. First, you should know the roof span you would like to achieve. The size of roof rafters you use depends on a couple of factors. |
