Fall In Love With Me Episode 18 Recap
I'm not sure what you guys think (do share with me!) but I like this episode much more than the previous one. Even though there were some moments where I felt that the characters were being real stupid, I like that at least there was some action and movement in plot. I can't help but recall all the previous build-ups and lies, and wonder what the purpose in foreshadowing was, since they ultimately don't serve as big a function as we were led to think.
Remember last week's episode where Tao Zi's parents want Tian Xing to elope with Tao Zi? We continue this week with Tao Zi's dad making an endearing threat that he would use his life to fight Tian Xing if he chooses to abandon Tao Zi in the future. He reassures them that he will treasure her, and the parents urge him to pack quickly.
Tao Zi comes out from a shower and thinks of calling Tian Xing. Before she can make that call, she is whisked by her mother into her bedroom. Tao Zi's mum mindlessly rambles about how she can buy more clothes "over there" and finally clues Tao Zi in on the new plan — take the earliest flight the next morning with Tian Xing and leave the country. Tao Zi is reluctant to leave because she doesn't want to abandon her family and OZ.
However, Tao Zi's mum hugs her with tears in her eyes and persuades her — she's their only daughter. OZ is something that her brother left behind but it will have its own fate. If Tian Xing marries Huan Huan, there will be no turning back and they will suffer for life.
Tao Zi worries that the Li Family will target her parents but Miao Miao promises that OZ will protect them. Tao Zi is finally convinced and joins Miao Miao and her mother in packing her luggage.
Early morning, Tian Xing waits outside her house and Miao Miao quickly puts the luggage into the car. Before leaving, Tao Zi's dad places Tao Zi's hand onto Tian Xing's and pats them, "I hand my daughter, Tao Zi, over to you. Please follow through with your promise and protect her forever, okay?"
Tian Xing promises that he will call them the moment they reach their destination. Tao Zi hugs her parents and Miao Miao reminds the couple to be happy. The couple quickly drives off in the car and Tao Zi turns around to take a last look.
I quite like the momentum here — fast and no fuss. Makes me kinda want to do an elopement now HAHA.
Lance receives a call about Tian Xing's plans to elope (because he has spies tagging Tian Xing's every movement). Huan Huan is emptying her medicine into her box as usual, when her brother barges in and informs her that Tian Xing is bringing Tao Zi out of the country. He quickly leaves the house with Huan Huan, and the Evil Mother watches them go with a worried expression.
Tian Xing soon realises that they are being tagged by another car and increases his speed. True enough, Lance's minions do not give up the chase, until Tian Xing makes a sudden right turn and the bad guys' car runs into a trolley of water bottles. Lance is unhappy to hear this latest update and holds Huan Huan's hands to comfort her.
The couple makes it to the parking lot and Tian Xing holds her hand tightly, "Don't be scared, no matter what happens, I will be with you."
Tao ZI's face of worry immediately melts into that of trust and they walk off to the terminal. I do wish Tian Xing was wearing his bangle though, that would have been a lovely image.
Fu Bo (who is the one who helped settle the last minute booking of tickets) returns home to find it completely empty. He wanders into Huan Huan's room and realises she's gone too. He notices that her drawer is open and helps to close it, before he realises something — opening the drawer again, he takes out the box and sees the pills.
On the plane, Tian Xing assures Tao Zi, "In a few hours, we will be free."
Alas, fate does not allow that to happen, for the minions appear with a magical poof. "They have some objections to your decision to leave. I think you need to explain to them." Tian Xing and Tao Zi turn around to see Lance and Huan Huan right behind them.
Lance is curious to know if the couple really thinks that their plan will work, and while he's talking, the couple's hands reach out for each other instinctively.
Huan Huan notices the clasped hands, to her displeasure.
Lance makes a jibe about how they really think that they can leave behind everything, including Tian Ji and OZ. Tao Zi doesn't back down of course, "I love Lu Tian Xing. He can sacrifice everything for me, and so can I, in gambling for my happiness."
Huan Huan stops her brother and talks to Tao Zi (oh no, it must be another crazy moment!). She asks if Tao Zi really loves Tian Xing and the answer is yes, duh. She is unhappy that Tao Zi wants to destroy her happiness completely, "Who is the one who caused me to be sitting on the wheelchair today? Who is the one who tries to steal my love from my side?!" Lance and Tian Xing try to calm her down but she goes off on her crazy rocket and is unstoppable, "Tian Xing Ge Ge, if you really leave, I will not forgive you forever! I will make you feel pain every time you think of me, I will make you feel regret every time you hear my name -"
Tao Zi's brave demeanour changes into that of guilt and worry.
"No matter how far you guys go, I will make you unable to smile with a happy heart! If this is what you want, then take it!! TAKE IT! TAKE ITT!"
At her last words, she lets out a scream and falls onto the floor in a faint. Tian Xing instinctively lets go of Tao Zi's hands and brings Huan Huan to the hospital. Meanwhile, Tao Zi looks lost and closes her hand.
This is where I get my -omg Lu Tian Xing, how could you?!!!- moment. I thought you left Tao Zi because you thought it would be just for a short while, but you actually left for the hospital, can't you at least say something to reassure Tao Zi before you leave??
While on the stretcher, Huan Huan wakes up momentarily and sees Tian Xing's face. She smiles and falls back unconscious. Tao Zi walks home with her luggage and looks at her hand again.
I don't blame you at all Tao Zi. Seriously, a guy who just promises to elope with you does not simply let go of your hand like that.
Huan Huan wakes up finally, and smiles weakly, "Tian Xing Ge Ge, you stayed…for me. I'm so happy."
Tian Xing sees that she's awake and coldly turns around to leave. Lance asks him where he's going and he replies that Tao Zi's still waiting for him at the airport. Glad that you know.
Lance asks threateningly if Tian Xing really thinks that he can leave for good. Tian Xing wants Lance to understand that if not for Huan Huan today, he would not have stepped off the plane. If not today, he will take Tao Zi and leave tomorrow anyway. Evil Mother starts on her "Huan Huan is on the wheelchair for you" thing and Tian Xing cuts her off, "Yeah it's all because of me! Blame me! From the start, you guys have been picking on me and blaming me. I'm fine with that." He tells Huan Huan that he will never be able to look at her as a wife and urges her to take care of herself.
He leaves the ward and Evil Mother chases after him desperately. She wants him to stay behind and save Huan Huan, "Auntie will return OZ, Auntie will give you Tian Ji! No matter what you want, Auntie will support you!"
Tian Xing cool-ly cuts her off and tells her that she doesn't understand. What he wants is to be happy with the people he loves, "Let us go."
Tian Xing gives Tao Zi a call but the call doesn't go through. He gets a call from Fu Bo instead and meets him. Fu Bo sighs about he watched the three of them grow up and he feels heartache watching them go down the wrong path. Tian Xing asks if he knows something and Fu Bo reveals that he saw a box of pills in Huan Huan's drawer. He even called the hospital and checked that she hadn't been going for physio for a very long time. Tian Xing recalls the time Huan Huan dropped her pills in shock when he visited her and exhales in disbelief. The truth is out — Huan Huan is the one who gives up on her own treatment and that's why her legs deteriorate.
The moment the news set into Tian Xing's brain, he rushes off and goes straight to the Li Family's house. He barges towards Huan Huan's room, despite Lance's and Evil Mother's questions, and throws open the door, "Where's your medicine?"
Huan Huan tries to evade his question but Tian Xing walks over and searches her drawers. Huan Huan subconsciously places her hands on the main drawer while he throws the side drawers open. Lance and Evil Mother are right behind him and try to stop him, but he notices Huan Huan's actions and pushes her hands aside. He takes the box and opens it in a fury, "What is this?! ANSWER ME!"
He also informs Lance and Evil Mother that Huan Huan hasn't gone for physio either. In order to marry him, she purposely caused her legs to worsen. Huan Huan goes on the defensive about how he has no rights to assume that eating medicine and going for physio will mean that her legs will recover for sure. Evil Mother rushes up to her and urges her to be obedient. She worries about her daughter's current state. Huan Huan looks at them with cold eyes and slowly pops the pills into her mouth. One, two, then many.
They stop her and she breaks down about how she loves Tian Xing so much that she's willing to do anything for him. She questions if he's willing to be a cripple for Tao Zi, and answers for him that he can't. Only she can.
"If you chooses to leave with Tao Zi, I will disappear forever from this world. I will do what I say!"
I knew it – the death threat would have come up somewhere. Lance holds a cold smile as he watches the scene unfold in front of him.
Evil Mother walks up to him and screams, "Is this how you repay us? Because of you, everything is coming apart and is in shambles. Do you know that, do you??"
Tian Xing starts to cry, realising that he's trapped once again.
He turns around to leave without a word and stops outside the house. I'm really enjoying Aaron's crying scenes. He starts recalling the past, the difficulties he suffered, the slaps that Tao Zi and him had, the corners that he had been pushed into, and he keeps punching the wall in an attempt to get the frustration out. He hits the wall repeatedly and rapidly, before letting out an agonized shout. He slumps to the floor and curls his fingers in pain.
Instead of returning home, Tao Zi has been sitting by the roadside to wait for Tian Xing's call. She calls him again and turns out that he is just right behind her. But he doesn't pick up her calls, even though he desperately wants to and he has to watch her leave.
Tao Zi returns home to her loved ones who have been waiting for her (because Fu Bo has already told them what happened). Tao Zi's dad is angry that Tian Xing abandoned Tao Zi for Huan Huan and tries to convince Tao Zi that Tian Xing and her are from two different worlds, "Let go of him. I know you like him a lot, but we have all tried our best, and yet we still can't win. Listen to me, okay?"
I wonder if they should have played up the 'different world' thing a little more because I never felt like it was much of a problem in this show. On the other hand, I'm thankful that they didn't because it's an issue quite overdone in many dramas.
Tao Zi wants her parents to believe in Tian Xing and Miao Miao steps in to give Tao Zi some much wanted rest.
Lance gives Huan Huan warm milk and tells her that it's such a waste because her legs could have been better with a few months of hard work. Huan Huan doesn't care and Lance promises that when they get married, he will ask Tian Xing to bring her overseas for treatment in order for her to recover.
I got a bit 'confused' here because this is so contradictory to the mantra they've been repeating for episodes — "If you want your happiness, you must sit on the wheelchair forever." Seems like this Evil Family (and scriptwriters) can't decide what they want/have whims. Evil Mother proves my point by worrying that Huan Huan has changed and she's anxious about her scary actions. Lance loves the new development though, and promises his mother that he will take good care of his sister, "In the Li Family, don't we always try our best to get things we want most?"
Tian Xing sits quietly in his bath tub and recalls what the Evil Mother said earlier on in the hospital.
I know he's supposed to be in agony, but that hair HAHAHA.
In the morning, Miao Miao asks if she should request for leave on Tao Zi's behalf.
Tao Zi doesn't turn around and assures Miao Miao that she's all right. When Miao Miao leaves, she faces the ceiling with tears in her eyes. She gets ready for work and sees Tian Xing waiting for her. Tian Xing reaches out for the necklace around her neck and she is shocked to see his injury. She holds his hand and says softly, "Tian Xing, I will believe in you no matter what you do next."
But Tian Xing surprisingly replies, "No. This time round, no matter what I say –
or what I do, don't believe it."
He lets go of her hand and walks off without another word, leaving Tao Zi in a confused state.
Miao Miao clues OZ in on what happened the day before and Jia Gai Xian wants to rush off to find Xiao Lu so that he can get revenge for Tao Zi. He knocks into Helen, who has come to visit OZ again, "My light, my love, why are you here?"
He quickly forgets his agenda and sticks happily with Helen. Tao Zi appears for work and pretends that everything is all right. Leo smiles at her reassuringly but is actually concerned for her.
Tian Xing helps Huan Huan into her wheelchair and answers to Huan Huan's question that they are visiting the wedding boutique for her altered gown.
Huan Huan may be reeling from this sudden development but I'm excited to see what Tian Xing has up his sleeves.
He turns around when Huan Huan is dressed in her gown. He asks her if she likes her dress and she nods. He smiles, "It's great that you like it."
He asks her if she's happy and when she returns the same question to him, he replies, "If you happy, I will be happy too." He touches her face gently and Huan Huan breaks into a touched smile.
Lance is suspicious of Tian Xing's act of bringing Huan Huan to the boutique and is even more doubtful of his announcement that he wants to marry Huan Huan.
Tian Xing apologises for his rash behaviour and suggests that instead of holding an engagement ceremony, they should just have a wedding in three days. Huan Huan is shocked to hear this.
Evil Mother worries that there's no time, so Tian Xing asks for Lance's opinion.
Lance quickly keeps his face of doubts and says that he's glad to have him in the family as the brother-in-law. Tian Xing answers cryptically that he has always been a brother to him, "Partner."
At night, Tao Zi gets a text from Tian Xing – "I'm going to marry Huan Huan."
Tao Zi looks up from the phone and tries to register this news.
She stands up and clenches her fist in thought. She walks back to her phone and replies, "If you have decided on it, I will give you my blessings." Tian Xing replies quickly, "Don't give me your blessings, and don't believe it. Just stand quietly at a side and watch this unfold."
Tao Zi reads his reply and steels herself for the impending wedding.
Ting Wei and Fu Bo have a secret meeting in the car about this Mr Long whom they have been trying to meet. With a secret handshake that involves open palms and spectacles (and look more comical than mysterious HAHA), they encourage each other with a "Jiayou!" before Ting Wei hops off the car. Lance gets a call from his minion that "they are looking for Mr Long too".
OZ carries out the shooting for Huan Huan's new advertisement and everything is going normal until Tian Xing appears on the set with demands – "What's wrong with this lighting? Do it again." "Xu Miao Miao, her make up is all messy, what have you been doing?" Leo is indignant and calls him upstairs for a talk.
Leo asks what Tian Xing thinks he's doing and he replies, "I work today and I get married tomorrow." Leo is taken aback that he really wants to marry Huan Huan but Tian Xing retorts that he, likewise, is making an advertisement with Huan Huan as the lead. Leo is going to protest about how he did all this to reveal Huan Huan's lie but he stops, upon realising what Tian Xing has been trying to tell him. Indeed, Tian Xing watches him with expectant eyes and Leo asks, "What are you planning?"
Tian Xing feels that Leo can see him through the best. He tells him that he has a war to fight but he can only fight it whole heartedly without implicating Tao Zi. He requests for Leo to take care of Tao Zi in this period of time.
I thought Tian Xing's sudden change of behaviour was because he just wanted to be a jerk or something, but I realise that he was actually being really clever. By doing what he did, he managed to get a private talk with Leo without anyone tagging him, or suspecting him.
Tian Xing has been summoned to the house by the Evil Mother who has two documents to show him — OZ's shares and her 30% shares in Tian Ji. Lance happens to return home and watches this from behind a wall.
Evil Mother informs Tian Xing that she will give him OZ's management rights during the wedding the next day, and that she will give Huan Huan her Tian Ji shares as dowry. Whether Huan Huan wants to give him the shares ultimately, she will leave it up to her daughter to decide but needless to say, Tian Xing will be the only heir to the company. Tian Xing asks about Lance and Evil Mother replies that Lance will only lead the company astray.
Tian Xing replies awkwardly that she's being unfair to Lance but she assures him that she knows her son best, "He's a businessman and only knows how to do business. But what advertising needs is creativity…Tian Xing, you know clearly that you are the only successor to the company in Auntie's heart." Lance adjusts his tie with controlled anger and walks off. Evil Mother reminds Tian Xing to call him Mother since they will be one family soon and he laughs.
Lance recalls his mother's promise that she was merely comforting Tian Xing the other time when she promised to give up the entire Tian Ji if only he could stay with Huan Huan. He also remembers Tian Xing's words about how they are partners (an echo of the words he used himself when he congratulated Tian Xing on his rise to a partner in the company). He thinks to himself, Lu Tian Xing, I will not let you win, and tells his minion to call Mr Long, the elusive guy who has been found.
Is this a cameo or a guy that the company is trying to promote, because in this episode, he's the face of the minions and it's quite unusual to give a face to the leader of the minions when all they are, are people dressed in black suits following orders.
Lance sets up for a meeting with Mr Long.
The wedding day has arrived. Fu Bo tries to console Tian Xing that he has already tried his best for him. Tian Xing replies, "Fu Bo, today you shall replace my parents, and give your blessings happily."
I love the mirror symbol – it's showing that this is an act, another reflection of him, but not the real him.
Tao Zi visits Huan Huan at the waiting room and says that she's here for OZ's work. She admires the gown and reaches out to touch it, but Huan Huan draws back.
Tao Zi laments that if this wedding happened before everything else had, she would have been happy for her. But now she can't do that, because when she thinks of how the groom is Lu Tian Xing, she feels pain in her heart. Huan Huan questions her presence and she replies that she's here to do something for her as a friend.
She plucks off a rose and puts it in Huan Huan's hair, reminding her to think of the girl that she used to be and to stop hurting people.
If this was any other girl I would have thought that the suggestion about how the rose could prompt Huan Huan to think of the person she used to be as sarcastic and loaded. Coming from Tao Zi, however, I feel that she could be sincerely wishing for Huan Huan to turn over a new leaf.
Huan Huan throws the rose onto the floor and says that she won't hurt Tian Xing. Tao Zi retorts that forcing him into a marriage is hurting him. It's giving him scars.
And even if she can't console him now, she will feel sad for him forever. "No matter who he marries, or if the person is you, it won't change our love, because our love exists in reality. And this is the proof, no one can take it away." She holds out the necklace for Huan Huan to see and leaves when the co-ordinator informs Huan Huan that it's time to enter the church.
The couple runs into each other in the corridor and they look at each other…before walking off without a word.
She doesn't question, she merely walks away with a sad but determined face. He closes his eyes in pain but continues.
At the church doors, Tian Xing kneels in front of Huan Huan and reassures her that she looks beautiful, "I've always wanted to see the sister I love in a wedding gown. I finally saw it today." Huan Huan asks if he still sees her only as a sister and he answers, "I've said before, you are the sister that I love most. It's like this in the past, and in the future, today's wedding is a gift from me to you, you must accept it happily, understand?"
Huan Huan smiles and nods. Tian Xing places the veil over her head and motions for the doors to be opened. They walk down the aisle amidst claps and music, and stop in front of the pastor.
When Tian Xing is asked with the important question, "Are you willing to take Li Huan Huan's hand in marriage as your wife?" he replies without hesitance, "I am!"
I think Tao Zi was expecting something spectacular to happen because her face falls.
Now it's Huan Huan's turn, "Are you willing to be Lu Tian Xing's wife?" Huan Huan grins and opens her mouth but a voice cuts her reply off, "I oppose!" Everyone turns around in shock, and the camera reveals that it's Lance who has appeared to oppose to the wedding.
I quite like this episode because there's not much fuss and angst. If there is, I think it's rather needed so I don't find it draggy at all. In fact, I think we have achieved quite a lot in one episode — a potential elopement, a death threat, a sudden change of mind, a wedding, and an opposition to the wedding. The pace is rather surprising, given that the past few episodes have been disappointing at points in time, but I (finally) like where this is going, if my guess about Tian Xing's plan is correct.
And if it is, I wonder why it takes him so long to come up with this idea, but I think this episode has been a sort of explanation to doubts like this. I'm guessing that Tian Xing purposely agrees to the wedding and leads Lance into thinking that he's fighting for the company, so that he can make use of Lance's jealousy and turns it as a force for himself. This is why when he was sitting inside the bathtub, he was thinking about how the mother so desperately wanted him to stay and promised to give him the entire Tian Ji. It's this sense of helplessness and ultimate begging that I'm thinking the episode is trying to instil in the mother, and it's this sense that pushes Tian Xing to the final plan, because he now knows for sure that he will get Tian Ji, so long as he marries Huan Huan. It's also why while others look towards the door in shock and surprise, Tian Xing merely turns around with a determined face.
I'm not sure if I'm overthinking this, but I do enjoy this episode. Even though I was annoyed with Tian Xing at the start, I think he has redeemed himself with the sudden rebound of ideas and war tactics. I also like that Tao Zi has a small battle with Huan Huan right before the wedding and wins it, and that the couple meets silently in the corridor later on. They need no words between them, but they are on the same frequency, and Tao Zi knows to trust Tian Xing and his words about how she shouldn't trust him (haha, what a mindblowing situation:P).
I think the next episode might be the last episode, or the second last, so I hope the drama will finish off really well!

While Huan Huan was screaming (several times during the episode), I was just begging someone to give her a tap on the cheek just to calm her down. She was so close to hyperventilating and she was just rambling.
I like that even though Tian Xing is cooperating and 'willingly' marrying Huan Huan, all three family members are so uncomfortable with it. He is doing exactly what they want, and they don't trust it. They are absolutely right to not trust it, but they can't call him out on it, because he is doing exactly what they want.
I wish Tian Xing didn't take so long to go back to Tao Zi after Huan Huan collapsed. He is a good person, so it was natural for him to look after Huan Huan, but it was unnecessary to go in the ambulance. Lance was there, so Huan Huan had someone to support her.
Just a tiny sidenote; I loved Tao Zi's wedding outfit. It was classy, but still in Tao Zi's casual style.
I think Beatrice did a good job with those scenes but yeah I really wanted to kick Huan Huan hahaha, pretty much like what Tian Xing/Aaron wanted to do when the actors were going through their lines behind the scenes.
Mmhmm, that's what I like too and find amusing. Me too, I thought it was semi-ridiculous the way he runs off, leaving Tao Zi behind on their impending elopement.
ladysaotome says
Wow – you're giving LTX a lot more credit than I did. I was thinking he was finally fed up with all the BS and decided, "fine, if I'm going down, I'm taking everything with me."
I'm very curious who Mr Long is. It's annoying to introduce a mystery character right at the end. Could he be the last shareholder? If Lance has 30%, LTX has 30% and Auntie has 30%, there's still 10% out there – if LTX got it, he'd be controlling the company whether HuanHuan gives him her shares or not.
Haha that's why I'm not sure if I'm overthinking Tian Xing's intentions, but I would really wish that he finally had the brains to come up with a nice plan!
I think your theory may be right! And could have been foreshadowed by Lance's question previously whether Huan Huan would help him if he asked her for a favour in the future.
The scene when Tian Xing came out of the house and started punching that wall my heart ached, i was hurting with him. And that bathtub scene, you're right omg that hair. But what i don't understand is how the heck did those evil henchman found them that quickly and how did Lance and Huan Huan got on a plane? Tian Xing got away in that car chase, but in the next scene here they are on an plane happy to introduce Lance. And where is the security and staff and, well, everybody, did Lance just gave them money to let them pass or what.
Yeah the hair was not right at allXD I think for that scene, the plane had not taken off and that's why Lance and Huan Huan could get on the plane. As for the henchmen, if I'm not wrong, Lance had someone tailing Tian Xing, so that he would know about Tian Xing's movements. The car chase was probably an attempt to stop the couple from reaching the airport in the first place, but since the henchmen knew where they were heading to, it will be quite easy to track them down ultimately. ER as for that, I guess that's just one of those drama loopholesXD

Former IBF Bantamweight World Champion Paul Butler is eyeing an all-British World Title showdown with Doncaster's Jamie McDonnell.
The Baby Faced Assassin fights for the third time under new trainer Joe Gallagher in an eight round contest at the Manchester Arena on April 8, live on BT Sport and BoxNation.
In June 2014 Butler lifted the IBF crown after defeating Darlington's Stuart Hall, but vacated the belt a month later. After a spell at Super-Flyweight, the Ellesmere Port star is more determined than ever to land a second World Title at 118lbs.
"I'm hoping we can get this fight out of the way and then push on for another World Title," said Butler. "It has been talked about for a while now and it's what we've been working towards in the gym. I can't wait to get in the ring and put in a top performance and move on.
"I'd take any of the Bantamweight Champions but I would hope it would be McDonnell or Zhanat Zhakiyanov. Zhanat has the WBA Super World Title but McDonnell is the name in the division – everyone knows Jamie McDonnell.
Terry Flanagan vs. Petr Petrov tops a mouth-watering night of action at the Manchester Arena; Super-Welterweight rivals Liam Smith and Liam Williams clash in one of the most anticipated domestic dust-ups in recent times; double Olympic Gold Medallist and women's boxing icon Nicola Adams OBE fights for the first time as a professional and former Team GB Heavyweight monster Daniel Dubois makes his highly-anticipated professional debut.


We're a 50ish couple with a lifetime of coastal/bay sailing behind us, as well as about 50k blue water miles (me) and a Bermuda-Tortoal passage on a 29' + trans-Atlantic on our own boat (Jennifer).
We look forward to meeting many of you along the way -- either via email or in person.
Hi, Welcome to this forum. I was just wondering what you mean by "over summer" in Australia, as that it is not the best time to be in Northern OZ due to the wet season and the odd cyclone we will more than likely experience.
Welcome aboard Jon and Jennifer - it is great to have you here amongst this helpful, friendly crew. We hope hope that you will keep us updated about your movements so we can share the planned voyage with you.
Make yourself at home - the beers are on me this Christmas day!

The opening night together as a wedded couple is among the most remarkable nights, an occasion that alters everything. Amongst the lots of elements that marriage refurbishes, without providing much modification duration, is the bedding made use of by the happily married partners. It is therefore essential to have their bedding choices right the first time. Luckily, decorative bed linens are available in a substantial choice and the selections many.
A man's bedroom does not have to look boring. It is his private den, even if he shares it with his mate. A man would like it to have a manly feel. You can go with plain sheets, like blue, or earthy colors, and even satin sheets. And there are an array of quilts and comforters to match his personality. There are many styles. Pure Egyptian cotton, cotton and polyester blends, jacquard weaves, jeans, faux fur; there are all amazing selections in the bedroom.
Another fantastic aspect of these sets is that it includes the normal conventional size that is frequently available in dormitory. However, simply to be sure, verify this with the university dormitory. In addition, you can also opt to purchase these online.

Charlamagne & Ebro Reject Offers To Interview The Cash Me Ousside Girl
By Angus Walker

@gowangus
The New York radio veterans don't want any part in promoting the Dr. Phil-spawned viral sensation.
Danielle Bregoli, the girl responsible for the meme and catchphrase "Cash me ousside, how bow dah?" is the definition of the viral star.
Since getting meme-ified last month, the 13-year-old now has 5.4 million followers on Instagram. She's also become a sensation in the hip-hop world, as her fight videos and expletive-ridden tantrums have come ready-made for the WorldStar audience. She also created her own music video to Kodak Black's "Everything 1K," which now has over 16 million YouTube views. She started a Twitter beef with Soulja Boy just the other day.
She recently appeared on The Cruz Show on the L.A. hip-hop station Power 106, and her interview earned her more viral headlines, as she used her airtime to diss Kylie Jenner, saying, "How do you go from fuckin' lips the size of a twig, and a body that looks like a fuckin' paperclip, and now you look like an hourglass?"
There are some radio hosts -- those gatekeepers of the culture who reside on the opposite coast -- however, who do not want any part of the exorbitant attention surrounding the teenage Internet star. Both Ebro and Charlamagne, of New York's HOT 97 and Power 105.1 respectively, have declined offers to have Bregoli guest on their shows.
"Absolutely not," wrote Charlamagne in response to the pitch, shown in a screenshot that he posted on Instagram. Ebro received the exact same offer, which he also revealed on Instagram. He captioned his post, "Wish I could say 'Fuck that lil girl..' But she's a child.."

Psychotherapist Beth Higgins only wanted to save her patient's life.
Never would she have imagined that exactly one hour after she called the police he would end up dead.
The cops were supposed to save Afghanistan veteran Brian Babb.
He was a former captain of the Oregon Army National Guard and had been injured during a combat deployment to Afghanistan in 2006.
Since his return he had suffered from acute post-traumatic stress disorder as well as a serious brain injury.
We can only speculate the crisis Babb was going through when he called Higgins on the afternoon of March 30.
The therapist normally does not work on Mondays; however, by chance, she stopped by at her practice on that fateful day.
When she heard her patient's voice on the answering machine she decided to pick up the phone.
On the other end Babb, a divorced father of two, was seeking her attention; in an attempt to see how it would sound, he told Higgins he had fired a 9mm handgun.
His roommate and friend Jim Antonini had been home for at least one hour before he made the call to his therapist. According to Antonini, he did not hear any gunshot.
Based on this, the shrink thought it was best to seek help from the police so she called 911.
The dispatcher asked her if he had fired a shot through a window, Higgins had not heard a shot and she told the person on the other line that she believed he had fired into the ceiling or the wall.
However, the person who took the therapist's call noted that Babb had a gun to his head and had shot at least one bullet "into a window or somewhere into the house".
This is the message that was conveyed to the officers, and it became the premise they worked on later.
Nonetheless, the plan was that Higgins would continue to stay on the line trying to calm the agitated man.
It was clear she had only called the cops to make sure that Babb and those around him would remain safe.
Shortly after the call police arrived in an armored vehicle.
Much to Higgins' surprise they decided to interrupt the call, she found it very puzzling.
"I couldn't even fathom it, and it made me really wonder what had they heard, what did I say, how did it happen? How did it go from there to there? It was very confusing to me," she remarked.
Experts have tried to piece together what must have happened in Babb's last hour.
We now know that a crisis negotiator was brought in and was instructed to ask the man to step out of his house unarmed.
This is despite the officers being fully aware that Higgins was still talking to him.
There are conflicting accounts of what Babb did after he was issued the instructions; however, one thing is for sure Officer Will Stutesman fired a single shot which proved fatal.
Moments before he was killed, Higgins knew something was not quite right – her patient had stopped talking to her on the phone, so she pleaded the dispatcher on the other line to let her help him.
"I could go there. I could do anything. I just can't have him die," she said.
Her requests were brushed aside and instead the dispatcher just tried to comfort her by telling her that she was doing a great job.
Stutesman said he saw the victim raised a rifle, but the negotiator, who was sitting next to him, claims a fence was in the way and they could not see Babb.
The latter's version was confirmed by the footage from the police vehicle the pair were sitting in.
However, Lane County district attorney Alex Gardner says perhaps the negotiator missed it because he had turned or must have been looking somewhere else.
After all is said and done, it turns out Babb's rifle had been unloaded all the time.
Review Board had reached the conclusion that the police were justified in what they did. At the same time, the board acknowledges that the evidence presented was not precise enough.
Police Chief Peter Kerns says this is a learning prospect for the department.
"It represents a terrific opportunity for us to take the entire episode apart, moment by moment, and ask where we could perform better," he commented.
Commissioner Gissinger said although all cops the same training, it is best that officers who responded to veterans in crisis are "people persons".
According to the Babb family, the solution is to use a dedicated task force when it comes to helping veterans in distress.
In fact, they are proposing this should be implemented as law.

A decade of conservation effects assessment research by USDA-ARS: Progress overview and future outlook. Journal of Soil and Water Conservation. 69(5):365-373.
Interpretive Summary: Ten years ago, the USDA-Agricultural Research Service (ARS) began a series of watershed assessment studies as part of the Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP). In this overview, we review a decade of research progress in 14 watersheds dominated by rain-fed croplands, to introduce a special section of this journal issue containing a series of papers describing multi-watershed synthetic analyses. These analyses evaluate the impacts of agricultural practices on soil quality, stream sediment sources, the role of climate variability in watershed studies and conservation assessments, and the potential of denitrifying bioreactors to mitigate nitrate loads at the watershed scale. Cross-watershed comparisons help to clarify dominant trends in agri-environmental issues, enhancing our understanding of emerging conservation technologies in terms of their readiness and their suitability for wide-scale adoption. Research from ARS CEAP watershed assessments published during the past 10 years suggests encouraging wider adoption of: a) minimum disturbance technologies to reduce runoff risks associated with applying manure, nutrients, and agrichemicals (as well as planting), b) use of winter cover crops, and c) a renewed focus on riparian corridors to control loads of sediment, phosphorus, and other contaminants originating from within (and near) stream channels. The management of agricultural watersheds requires that watershed scale data can be interpreted and applied in managing at the farm scale, and that farm-scale information, including financial and management constraints, can be used to clarify watershed management opportunities and challenges. Substantial research needs remain, including social engagement of agricultural communities, use of multiple conservation practices to account for environmental tradeoffs, improved models to simulate the dynamics of nutrient retention and movement in watersheds, and understanding ecosystem responses to changes in water quality. A long-term commitment to monitoring will be required to fully address agri-environmental issues. This review will be of interest to policy makers and stakeholders interested in an assessment of the status of current scientific knowledge on agricultural water quality and how conservation practices can address this issue.

Moreover, a long-term and ongoing commitment to understand land use trends, water quality dynamics, climate impacts, and the real effectiveness of precision conservation approaches for improving watershed water quality will help secure agriculture's capacity to provide food, water, and other ecosystem services vital to society.

Netflix and real estate rights: The flagship is 'worth' of 20 million
Although President Zelensky is often described as a miser on social media, in reality he does not come close to Forbes' ranking of the world's richest. Even if he's definitely not having a bad time.
According to Forbes Ukraine, his assets are around $20 million. Its main asset, temporarily sold to its election partners as president, is a 25% stake in Kvartal 95, a group of companies that produces humorous shows, including the series Servant of the People, a comedy in which Zelensky plays his business role. , a teacher who was elected president, Netflix — which previously aired the series live between 2017 and 2021 — has once again bought the rights. For his participation, the Ukrainian leader had made 11 million dollars.
Forbes also estimates Zelensky's real estate at $4 million, including an apartment in a prestigious residential complex in Kyiv, two wholly owned apartments, two jointly owned apartments, one commercial property and five parking spaces. According to Russian propaganda, the news that bounces from one social network to another among his critics, he owns five luxury yachts and three private jets, as well as $60 million in stock. But Forbes found no evidence of these fortunes.
But for American Economics magazine, Zelensky and his wife, Olena Zelenska, will have about $2 million in cash and government bonds, as well as $1 million in cars and jewelry.

Major mood swing alters Pacific character
By Richard Monastersky
Afflicted with a bipolar personality, the Pacific Ocean has apparently veered from one temperature extreme to the other—a change that could alter North American weather for the next decade or two, according to climate researchers.
Map shows how ocean temperatures shift as part of a long-term pattern. Currently, a wedge of warmer-than-normal water extends east from Asia, while unusually cool water surrounds this region. When this pattern reverses, Alaskan salmon fisheries improve. David Pierce, Scripps Institute of Oceanography
"It looks like it did shift, probably a year and a half ago, maybe starting 2 years ago," says Tim P. Barnett of the Scripps Institution of oceanography in La Jolla, Calif.
In the current pattern, a tongue of abnormally warm water extends eastward from Japan two-thirds of the way across the ocean. The rest of the North Pacific is colder than normal. If this arrangement continues in coming years, it could moisten the northwestern and southeastern United States while it dries northern Mexico, says Barnett. Scientists, however, remain unsure about exactly what causes the oceanic mood swings, so they can't say how long the Pacific will be stuck in its latest funk.
Barnett and other researchers only recently recognized that Pacific Ocean temperatures tend to flip-flop back and forth over the decades. From 1977 through 1998, ocean temperatures along the equatorial Pacific remained generally warmer than average, while abnormally chilly waters extended far eastward from Japan. That pattern helped spur the development of record-setting El Ni±o warmings along the equator, which warped global weather in 1982-1983 and 1997-1998.
In 1998, this pattern reversed when warm waters appeared east of Japan and La Ni±a chilled the equatorial waters. That same year, scientists with the University of Washington in Seattle dubbed the bipolar swings observed in this century the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, implying that it has a regular pattern lasting 20 to 30 years.
The arrangement of temperatures first seen in 1998 has persisted until now, raising questions about whether the oscillation has officially swung opposite to its position in the 1980s and earlier 1990s. Last week, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., released a satellite image suggesting that the change had taken place.
Other scientists remain cautious about the pattern. "It's very hard to tell in real time," says John M. Wallace, one of the Washington researchers who described the oscillation. "You need the benefit of 5, preferably 10, years hindsight to know whether one of these long-term shifts has taken place."
He cites the period from 1958 to 1960 as an example of a false shift, when the Pacific's temperature pattern reversed for only 2 years and then switched back.
Barnett agrees that the current shift could be short-lived, which would indicate that the Pacific Decadal Oscillation has no regular cycle. Computer climate models at this point can't simulate ocean currents well enough to tell whether random atmospheric fluctuations or more regular ocean processes drive the oscillation. The answer will determine whether scientists can predict changes in the North Pacific.

Cupertino building dept. approved Steve Jobs Theater occupancy after iPhone X event invites were sent
By Neil Hughes
Monday, September 11, 2017, 09:59 am PT (12:59 pm ET)
Apple invited members of the press to the new Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park on Aug. 31, but the City of Cupertino didn't actually sign off on allowing people into the building until a day later, documents reveal.
Apple applied for a Temporary Occupancy Permit for the Steve Jobs Theater on Aug. 8, VentureBeat discovered. A few weeks later, on Aug. 31, Apple sent out invitations for its Sept. 12 event.
"Let's meet at our place," the invitation read. "Please join us for the first-ever event at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino."
Clearly, Apple was confident that the city would sign off on the new building. But approval wouldn't come for another day, as Albert Salvador of the Cupertino building department didn't officially approve occupancy within the structure on Sept. 1.
Photos have shown the theater still under construction as recently as Sept. 1.
The city's approval mans that Apple has the all-clear to host members of the press for Tuesday's event, where it will unveil the highly anticipated iPhone X with OLED display. The temporary permit also approves the use of the lobby for a hands-on demonstration area, where attendees will presumably get their first opportunity to use the iPhone X.
AppleInsider will be there live at the Steve Jobs Theater on Tuesday when Apple's iPhone X event kicks off at 10 a.m. Pacific, 1 p.m. Eastern. In addition, the company is also set to announce an iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, Apple Watch with LTE, and a 4K Apple TV with HDR.

Salman to host Kajol, Ajay on 'Bigg Boss'
January 4, 2020	2 Views
Mumbai, It's going to be a super weekend for "Bigg Boss 13" lovers as the upcoming episode will see Kajol and Ajay Devgn gracing their presence on the sets of the reality TV show, which is being hosted by superstar Salman Khan.
Colors TV has released a promo video in which Kajol, Ajay and Salman can be seen having fun time with each other. The actors also played the popular game of whispers.
During the whisper challenge, Ajay reads out a phrase, while Kajol was put on headphones.
"Choodiyaan pehnana", Ajay said. But Kajol was not able to understand what Ajay had said, and she mistook it to a slang.
On hearing this, Salman and Ajay burst out laughing.
Ajay and Kajol paid visit on the show to promote their forthcoming film "Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior".

The Production VFX Supervisors are: Dan DeLeeuw and Swen Gillberg.
Is it confirmed that Indstrial Light & Magic are doing VFX for Avengers IF and Avengers 4? I hope that given their history with Marvel and also participation of Hulk they will be doing the VFX for the biggest movie of all time.
i hope this movie will provide the best CGI's Hollywood can do, since the major studio take the vfx of this movie.

Josep Graner i Prat (Casserres, Berguedà, 1844- Barcelona, 27 de desembre de 1928 ) fou un mestre d'obres català, molt prolífic, que es mogué entre en classicisme, l'historicisme i el modernisme. L'arquitectura de Josep Graner evolucionà molt, però sense perdre la tradició constructiva: de les formes més neoclàssiques vuitcentistes, a aplicar elements florals i historicistes, per trencar amb la rigidesa i, finalment, simplificà les formes i l'ornament, finalment. Va ser molt actiu a Barcelona i Montcada i Reixac entre altres ciutats catalanes. A Barcelona és autor de la Casa Fajol, coneguda també com la Casa de la Papallona (1912), d'estil modernista i coronada amb una gran papallona en trencadís de múltiples colors. En el camp de l'urbanisme treballà com a assessor de l'Ajuntament de Montcada i Reixac.

Biografia
Josep Graner i Prat va néixer a Casserres, al Berguedà, el 1844 i mor a Barcelona el 27 de desembre de 1928 als 85 anys. Es casa tres vegades tenint 3 filles del primer matrimoni entre elles Montserrat Graner i Pons coneguda com a Montserrat Graner de Bertran coneguda activista, una de les fundadores del Lyceum Club (Barcelona), casada amb Marc Jesús Bertran i Tintorer. Va estudiar a l'Escola de Belles Arts de Barcelona entre els anys 1862. Primer va estudiar-hi dibujo de aplicación, mentre estudiava a l'Instituto de Segunda Enseñanza de la provincia de Barcelona i el curs 1864-65 inicià la Enseñanza profesional de Maestro de Obras. Els professors de l'ensenyament de mestre d'obres eren: Elies Rogent (topografia), José Casademunt (geometria descriptiva), Joan Torras i Guardiola (mecànica i materials de construcció) i Francisco de Paula del Villar y Lozano (composició i part legal). Va obtenir el títol de mestre d'obres el 22 de juny de l'any 1872 i s'instal·là a Barcelona per a exercir de Mestre d'obres.

Professionalment, va realitzar múltiples obres i reformes de cases a la Barceloneta i a l'Eixample de Barcelona i a altres ciutats com Montcada i Reixac, Sitges, o Sant Joan Despí. Va ser assessor de l'Ajuntament de Montcada i Reixac en temes urbanístics des de 1880 fins a 1915 i mestre d'obres municipal. Va construir equipaments al municipi. Durant alguns anys va ser membre del Centro de Maestros de Obras Titulares de Catalunya, formant part de la junta consultiva i després com a vicepresident de la junta directiva.

Els grans mestres del  van quallar en les generacions posteriors i a finals del  i inicis del XX es poden trobar múltiples mostres que intenten ser més originals i coloristes i barrejant diferents estils en un mateix edifici. Segons Raquel Lacuesta, "les tendències estilístiques foren un aiguabarreig eclèctic [...] amb interpretacions personals o més o menys creatives: els historicismes medievals convisqueren amb el Barroc i el Rococó, sense deixar el llenguatge clàssic" (2002:124-125). Graner, encara al , utilitza formes lineals molt repetides a la Barcelona del  i del Modernisme. Els mestres d'obres i arquitectes menors, com Josep Graner, incorporen les arts aplicades del Modernisme sense canviar ni l'estil ni les estructures clàssiques. Cal dir que moltes de les obres d'aquests autors són reformes i modificacions de façanes que combinen amb alguns projectes d'obra nova. Pretenen ennoblir i modernitzar les cases de l'Eixample de la burgesia, guanyant el carrer amb tribunes i balcons i amb les decoracions de coronament poder augmentar el nombre de pisos. Les poblacions estiuenques com Montcada i Reixac s'ompliren amb cases-jardí. En definitiva, van omplir Barcelona i el voltant de modernitat, color i dinamisme. Molts d'aquests mestres d'obres o arquitectes eren també promotors i constructors i molts models es van repetint per diferents façanes i remarcant la importància que tenien els promotors. Exemples com la Torre Valentí a Montcada i Reixac demostren que Graner el 1927 encara s'utilitzava el trencadís i els elements florals propis del Modernisme.

La Montcada i Reixac a finals del

Arquitectura
Montcada i Reixac es va convertir en una ciutat d'estiueig. El 1854 va arribar el tren que connectava amb Barcelona i a mitjan  les grans epidèmies de còlera i les grips van causar que molts ciutadans de la capital marxessin cap a llocs d'aires més sans i de bones fonts i aigües. La majoria d'estiuejants eren de Barcelona, però també de Sant Martí de Provençals. Aquest turisme benestant va afavorir la construcció d'una nova arquitectura, pròpia de l'època i que va promoure una moviment social i cultural allunyat de la vila de masies disperses que era fins llavors Montcada i Reixac. Josep Graner va treballar en alguns projectes del primer eixample com la Torre Jerez, la Torre Geribert i la Torre Riera. Degut a l'augment de població i la insuficient xarxa d'equipament bàsics, Graner va crear i ampliar múltiples edificis municipals com l'escorxador, la presó, l'escola municipal, l'Ajuntament, l'ampliació del cementiri, etc. Alhora es van remodelar, prolongar i millorar l'estètica els carrers existents, entre ells el carrer Major. Josep Graner també intervingué en reformes de façanes i remuntes com a la Casa Cuyàs i es van afegir elements moderns als edificis existents. Nous estiuejants de Barcelona cridats per la natura, la cacera, l'excursionisme van instal·lar les seves torres d'estiueig a la zona. Graner col·laborà en alguns projectes com la Torre Valentí (1927).

Urbanisme
El primer eixample de Montcada i Reixac va ser creat pel terratinent Joaquim Montiu el 1884 i acceptat per Josep Graner. El projecte va crear nous carrers i molts promotors de Barcelona van adquirir parcel·les. Les dificultats urbanístiques de la nova cara de la vila van ser regulades per Josep Graner. El 1886 i 1891 creà el pont sobre el Bogatell. El 1896 va projectar l'alineació de l'actual carrer de Domènec Fins amb 8 metres d'amplada, on es van construir moltes torres de famílies benestants de Barcelona. Aquest projecte va portar a la urbanització del voltant, també per Graner, en un segon eixample. La instal·lació de petites indústries, va facilitar el creixement de noves edificacions i la construcció d'habitatges obrers, com la fàbrica de teixits Panisello (1911) de Josep Graner i 38 habitatges al voltant al passeig de la Font Pudenta i el carrer Hug de Montcada. Al voltant de la carretera Vella hi reformà l'empresa Ciuró i Casas (1885), zona de pas de transportistes i traginers. La parcel·lació dels terrenys del passeig de Rocamora fou planejada per Graner. També va treballar en projectes de caràcter popular al Passeig de la Font Pudenta, Mas Rampinyo, Can Sant Joan o als carrers Clavell, Buixó, Jaume I. Pocs anys més tard, l'ajuntament va agafar un nou assessor en urbanisme, Joan Baptista de Serra Martínez, arquitecte.
