Where in the World is Kim Jong Il?
Originally published in the Far Eastern Economic Review, September 2008
With reports and speculation running rampant on the whereabouts and health of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il—from the possibility of his having suffered a stroke, to rumors that he's already dead—"Korea-watchers" are grappling with how to get to the bottom of what's really going on. The greatest reason for concern that we know of remains his absence at festivities this week to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). But how seriously should we take these concerns? Or, to put it more bluntly, should the world be alarmed?
While Kim did attend the more elaborate 50th and 55th anniversary celebrations in years past, such an absence is not completely without precedent. In fact, Kim Jong Il is known for having a history of such disappearances since taking the reins of power in 1994, after the death of his father. Many of these previous disappearances were also accompanied by reports of ill health. His last public appearance, as reported by the North Korean press, was about one month ago.
This is not to say that the current reports are without merit. Kim is now 66 years old and is known to suffer from diabetes and heart problems. There are reports out of South Korea that he collapsed on August 22nd. We have also heard from other sources of a team of Chinese doctors being sent to North Korea to treat a "senior-level North Korean official." So what to make of the current situation?
This brings us to the big "what if" question. What if Kim Jong Il is incapacitated or worse? What will happen domestically, to relations on the Korean Peninsula and further abroad?
In 1994, when his father died suddenly, there was a relatively clear line of succession pointed directly at Kim Jong Il. As early as the 1960s, Kim began to rise through the ranks of the Korean Workers' Party, while also playing a role in the Party Central Committee. By the 1980s, he held senior positions in the Politburo, the Military Commission, and the party Secretariat. At this time, Kim also began to be referred to as the "Dear Leader" not to be confused with his father, Kim Il Sung, the "Great Leader." Finally, in 1991, he was named the supreme commander of the North Korean armed forces. So upon his father's death it was somewhat natural that he took over the titles of General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and Chairman of the National Defense Commission.
Such is not the case today. While Kim Jong Il has three sons, none seems to be a clear frontrunner to take over from him. If not one of his sons, most speculation seems to focus on the military as playing a leading role in governing North Korea. Generally speaking, with no clear line of succession in place, the potential instability that could result presents a somewhat disconcerting situation in the short-term, should Kim Jong Il suddenly die.
Assuming stability would eventually prevail (and this is a big assumption), no matter who takes over in such a situation there is little likelihood of a major change in North Korea's policies, both on the domestic and international fronts. As the leaders continue to protect the interests of the party, we would expect to see more of the same on the domestic policy front. Similarly, North Korea's spotty record of international interaction would likely continue.
But what about that little likelihood of a change? Is it possible that Kim Jong Il could be replaced by a more moderate leader or faction within the party—a leadership that might move North Korea in the direction of reform and opening taken in China 30 years ago? The possibility, however small, does exist. If North Korea moved in such a direction there would likely be tremendous support from South Korea, China (which has been prodding North Korea to move in this direction for some time), Japan, and even the United States, amongst other countries in the region. In essence, a whole new world of opportunities would open to North Korea and its people.
But let us not put the cart before the horse. There are still many questions left unanswered by the current situation and there will be plenty of time to speculate about the future of North Korea and the Korean Peninsula as more answers and information become available. Until that time we are all left to ponder…where in the world is Kim Jong Il?

Imagine designing and building a beautiful garden. You spend lots of time, money, and sweat making sure you have the right combination of plants and that they're correctly juxtaposed to one another. Now imagine never bothering to maintain that beautiful garden. What a complete waste!
Similarly, people spend time and money trying to build the perfect investment portfolio. But they overlook the maintenance part. And that's why periodic rebalancing is a must.
Financial research shows that all asset classes have eventual price mean-reversions in the long run. That means when an asset declines enough in price, it is more likely to experience high subsequent returns.
For example, when corporate bond (NYSE:LQD[1]) prices fall and yields go up, the forward return on corporate bonds increases.
Along similar lines, when the S&P 500 Index (NYSE:SPY[2]) falls in price, its dividend yield increases. And based upon empirical data, the subsequent returns on the S&P 500 tends to be significantly above average.
Price mean reversion in asset returns indicates that a disciplined rebalancing approach in asset allocation should enhance a portfolio's returns.
When is the ideal time to rebalance? Anytime a portfolio gets out of whack with its original objective or whenever a substantial change in asset values makes it necessary.
The objective of rebalancing is to take an investment portfolio back to its original target asset allocation. And if that original allocation objective has changed, then rebalancing will realign it in accordance with the new target.
Besides reducing risk, rebalancing can keep a person's investments correctly aligned with their investment goals.

RPGWatch Feature - Dragon Commander: First Looks
by Dhruin, 2011-08-19 12:20:05
We had the opportunity to see the recently announced game Dragon Commander at GamesCom 2011 to see how it looked and if there was something of an RPG in it. Here's a snip from Myrthos' article:
In the strategy mode you have a turn based map in which you can move your enemy troops. You can also buy units, invest in different types of technology or magic trees and you can play your cards.
Once you made all your decisions you can end your turn, after which you will have to decide which combat to participate in and under which general you want to deploy your troops. There are multiple generals to choose from, each with their own story arc, strengths and weaknesses. Once you've made your choices the fight can begin.

Today's schedule is more active with economic data overseas and in the United States.
The first big report that is likely to impact sentiment is China's October purchasing managers index, scheduled for overnight release. Economists forecast a reading of 50.2, up from 49.8 in September, indicating growth in the country's manufacturing sector. The news could especially affect copper, steel and coal stocks.
U.S. employment data begins at 7:30 a.m. ET with the monthly Challenger job-cut report. The number, which isn't followed by economists, came in at 33,816 last month. ADP's monthly index of private-sector employment follows at 8:15 a.m. ET and is expected to show a gain of 155,000 jobs. Weekly jobless claims follow 15 minutes later and are forecast to remain the same as last week's 369,000.
For Challenger and jobless claims, lower numbers are bullish and bigger numbers are positive. For ADP, the opposite is true.
Three more reports follow at 10 a.m. ET. The Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing index is the most important, and is expected to show a reading of 51 versus 51.5 in September. The Conference Board's gauge of consumer confidence is forecast to climb to 72.5 versus 70.3 one month earlier. The oldest and least important report is September construction spending from the Commerce Department.
Energy Department data on crude-oil and natural-gas inventories will follow at 10:30 a.m. ET.
Also before the market opens, pharmaceutical giant Pfizer will report third-quarter results.

Lebanon urges Congo deaths inquiry
Lebanon has asked the Democratic Republic of Congo if it can participate in an investigation into the deaths of 11 Lebanese in Kinshasa following the assassination of Laurent Kabila in January.
The justice and foreign ministers of DR Congo are reported to have said on Wednesday that that the Lebanese nationals were "executed", but details about the deaths are sketchy.
The revelation follows the announcement that the official investigation into Kabila's killing will be extended by a month.
Joseph Kabila, the son of the former leader who took office after his father's death, ordered an investigation into the killing in February.
It was supposed to wrap up by 6 March, but Justice Minister Kongolo said on Wednesday 7 March that it would last an extra month "to allow better finalisation of the inquiry".
Laurent Kabila was shot on 16 January in mysterious circumstances. His death was confirmed two days later.
At the time of the killing, government sources said he was shot by one of his bodyguards, who was himself then shot dead by Colonel Edy Kapend, Laurent Kabila's aide-de-camp.
First announcement
Colonel Kapend was the first government official to appear on television in the wake of the shooting, and appeared to give orders that exceeded his authority.
He was arrested at the beginning of March, along with General Nawej Yav.
The sources said that the name of one of the Lebanese men was found in an address book belonging to the boydguard who allegedly shot Kabila.
There is a well-established Lebanese community in DR Congo, involved largely in import-export businesses, especially with diamonds.

Album Rating: 4.5Wow this is your first review? Nice job man. Pos'd
Anyway, this album was a grower for me, but I listen to it quite frequently and I really dig it from start to finish.
First review? Yeah, sure it is...
Nah, seriously though, great work. Pos'd for sure, even though I think 4.5 is an overly generous score. It's a great album, but I found songs like "Mexican Sun" and "Fell Into Your Shoes" to be real groaners. Definitely better than Vena Sera, though.
Album Rating: 4.0Ha, those are two of my favourites from this album
Album Rating: 4.0I still don't understand some of the distaste for Vena Sera.
They just don't sound distinctive enough to me. I will agree with the majority that "Letter From a Thief" is one of their best recordings.
It just didn't have as many memorable tracks to me. In fact, my favorite track on the album is the bonus track, "In Debt to Earth."

RI International Film Festival presents FREE Film Screenings at PPL August 11 & 12
PROVIDENCE, RI – As part of its 2011 showing, the Rhode Island International Film Festival (RIIFF), will present four free film showings at Providence Public Library, two each on Thursday, August 11 and Friday, August 12. The showings will take place in the Central Library's Auditorium Theater, (3rd floor), 150 Empire Street, Providence, as follows:
Thursday, August 11 – 1:00 pm
STANDING SILENT, Scott Rosenfelt (2010)
An insular Orthodox neighborhood in Baltimore is scandalized after a journalist uncovers generations of child molestation at the hands of prominent rabbis. Unrelenting in his pursuit despite terrible personal repercussions, Baltimore Jewish Times reporter Phil Jacobs is determined to break the silence of victims and expose the predators, trusted and powerful religious leaders. Expecting community support and action, Jacobs is stunned to find himself ostracized by those who would cover up decades of abuse lest they bring shame to the rabbinate and themselves. Through a multiyear investigation, Jacobs confronts not only the Orthodox establishment, but demons from his own past. From Baltimore to Brooklyn, to the streets of Jerusalem, case after case of abuse is slowly brought to light. Recipient of a Sundance Documentary Filmmaker Grant, this taboo breaking film recounts how a courageous reporter's pen became his sword of justice.
Thursday, August 11 – 3:00 pm
BETTER THAN SOMETHING, Jay Reatard, Ian Markiewicz, Alex Hammond (2011)
BETTER THAN SOMETHING documents the prolific and notorious career of the late Jay Reatard, an iconic underground garage rocker. Through candid interviews about his 15-year career, this documentary captures a remarkably open and eerily prophetic depiction of the rocker only months before his untimely death at age 29. The film features never-before-seen performances and exposes elements of Reatard's life that will surprise viewers and leave a lasting impression.
Friday, August 12 – 1:00 pm (2 films back to back)
CAROLINA, RI: THE SMALLEST STATE, Carla Ricci (2011)
Fire, famine, and flood, and one particularly difficult mill owner, and one social visionary were the challenges that confronted this community. Through oral interviews and historical research these stories make these challenges alive for the viewer placing our contemporary lives into a different perspective.
GOLD STAR CHILDREN, Mitty Griffis Mirrer (2010)
Gold Star Children is a documentary about America's children of war: survivors whose mothers or fathers were killed or died while serving our country. The film is a first-person narrative, told through the eyes of a nine-year-old girl and adult-children of the Vietnam War who are reaching out to help heal this younger generation of survivors. This documentary takes an intimate look at a unique part of the American story – one that is happening now. The film opens with 9-year-old Cierra running through a dirt field in south Texas. She explains she is running for her daddy, training for a race she will run in Washington, DC. Cierra explains she feels like she is the only one this has ever happened to. Her father was killed in Iraq. It is that loneliness of a Gold Star child the film explores as Cierra shares her fears, hopes and pain. Forty-three year old Jeanette is also a war orphan. She was two when her father was killed in Vietnam. Her story begins with the images of black and white video of her father holding her as a baby just before he left for duty. Jeanette discovered the film as an adult. She explains watching the film over and over and over. The film introduces five survivors of the Vietnam War, all of whom lived through an era when their grief was silenced. It was a time when there were no support groups specifically for families and child survivors of war. The events of September 11, 2001 changed everything. For the first time, Jeanette and other survivors of the Vietnam War began to ask the question, what can I do to help a new generation of war orphans. In the act of reaching out, many survivors of the Vietnam War are finally able to heal. While a new generation of children may not face as much anti-war sentiment, their stories are difficult all the same: Cierra must leave her military home base and friends in Alaska, fifteen year old Erin found her father hanging in their garage shortly after he returned from war, ten year old Westin worries his father will be forgotten. Arlington National Cemetery's section 60 is filling up with the new grave sites of young combat casualties from Iraq and Afghanistan. Jeanette stoops down to help a child at the grave site of her father who was killed on the battlefield in Afghanistan. This image brings together the idea of healing for both generations. For the Vietnam era children who were treated indifferently, directly or indirectly, by the military and the culture, this new generation of war orphans is the change to get it right. Gold Star Children examines the common threads that run through the lives of all children whose father or mother was killed in war. Ultimately, it is about the importance of honoring a person's story. Today's generation of Gold Star children is healing with yesterday's child survivors of war.

This one is for CM and others of that vintage:
Birds of a feather flock together . .
And then crap on your car.
A penny saved is a
Government oversight.
The older you get, the tougher
It is to lose weight, because by
Then your body and your fat have
Gotten to be really good friends.
The easiest way to find
Something lost around the
House is to buy a replacement ..
He who hesitates is probably right.
Did you ever notice: The Roman
Numerals for forty (40) are 'XL'.
The sole purpose of a child's
Middle name is so he can
Tell when he's really in trouble.
Did you ever notice: When you
Put the 2 words 'The' and 'IRS'
Together it spells 'Theirs….'
Aging: Eventually you will
Reach a point when you stop
Lying about your age and
Start bragging about it.
Some people try to turn back
Their odometers. Not me, I want
People to know 'why' I look this
Way. I've traveled a long way and
Some of the roads weren't paved.
When you are dissatisfied and
Would like to go back to your
Youth, think of Algebra.
You know you are getting
Old when everything either
Dries up or leaks.
One of the many things no
One tells you about aging
Is that it is such a nice change
From being young. Ah, being
Young is beautiful, but being
Old is comfortable.
If God said it, then that settles it!!

Name a sibling
Here's how it works: You list as many names as you want and the next person gives a name that sounds like a sibling.
For example.. Person 1 says: Leo, Henry, Emma Person 2 adds: Oliver and then lists a few names.
Person 1 can tell you if they want a boy or girls name. If they don't specifically say which one you can choose.
To start: Lila Claire, Aidan Levi, Scarlett Poppy and Ruby Quinn. Sibling is a girl!Name Nerd.

Performance Comparison of DSR and AODV Routing Protocols With Efficient Mobility Model in Mobile Ad-Hoc Network
A Mobile-Ad-Hoc-NETwork (MANET) is a collection of wireless nodes that can be set up dynamically anywhere and anytime without using any pre-existing network infrastructure. Nodes within each other's radio range communicate directly via wireless links, while those that are far apart use other nodes as relays in a multi-hop routing fashion. Traditionally Ad-Hoc routing protocols are typically used to deal with the dynamic nature of these networks, which is mainly due to mobility. These protocols typically suffer from a number of shortcomings, such as high routing overhead and limited scalability.

Philosophie Superfoods
Ya'll know I'm smoothie obsessed…and for good reason! What better way to fuel up on nutrition, minerals, vitamins, veggies, and fruits! I also LOVE to add superfoods to my shakes for extra super powers.
Some of my favourites are:
- Maca
- Powdered Greens
- Lucuma
- Mesquite
- Spirulina (why I like it)
- Coconut oil (why I like it)
However, when you're in a hurry in the morning unsealing all these different bags and fiddling with a little bit from each container, makes adding those special ingredients a little tedious. Not to mention, how expensive it is to buy a bunch of different superfoods when, if you're like me, you mostly use them in just smoothies.
My friend Sophie from Philosophie recently emailed me about her products. I checked out her site and was totally excited about what she was doing. I'm a huge fan of raw, organic superfoods and how they help our body heal, recover, and keep healthy. Not to mention, she's such a sweetie – I enjoy following her on Instagram. She's awesome.
Sophie sent me a couple of her superfood blends and they aaamaaazing. I feel awesome after one of her shakes because it totally fuels up my "energy" tank!
Why the superfood blend is absolute genius:
- Convenience. Just add 1-2 Tablespoons of the blend to your smoothie (or more!) instead of different measurements from each one…the work is already done.
- Saves money. No need to purchase all the superfoods separately anymore.
- Highest Antioxidant scoring of any food on the PLANET.
- Completely Organic
- 100% Raw & Vegan
- Certified Fair-Trade
- Promotes weight loss (for anyone replacing one smoothie as a meal)
- Increases natural energy gain (no caffeine)
- Helps with mental clarity and focus
Brilliant, right?
Ever since I got the superfoods, I've been a fanatic of the Green Dream blend. It contains spirulina, fresh vanilla pod, raw vegan sprouted protein powder (hemp), maca (balances mood, high in iron and protein), tocos (vit.E), chia seeds, mesquite and chlorella. I've also been feeling under the weather lately (fighting a cold) so this was the PERFECT thing to help heal me up.
I've also been loving the Cacao Magic blend. It has little bits of cacao nibs in the mix, which actually kept me digging in the bag and eating the power straight. Yes, I have the ability to eat plain, dusty cocoa. I'm a true chocolate lover.
It's awesome because it has Chinese medicinal mushrooms- reishi, cordyceps, chaga, maca, cacao powder & nibs, chia seeds, tocos and fresh vanilla. Superfood heaven.
I made a chocolate shake the other day and I remembered to write down the recipe, so I thought I'd share the deliciousness with you.
Magical Cacao Smoothie
- 3/4 cup raw almond milk
- 2 tbsp. Cacao Magic blend
- 1 tsp. organic peanut butter
- 1 tsp. raw coconut oil
- 1 tsp. maple syrup
- 1 frozen banana
- 10 drops of cocoa stevia
- 3-6 ice cubes
I blended all that goodness up and topped it with hempseeds. Yum city.
(Love my cocoa stevia – no cals and a lot of flavour!)
Anyway, I'm loving these dreamy superfood blends and I'm using them all the time! I even made GREEN superfood protein pancakes the other day! I feel like they really help me with energy.
I'll share the recipe with you soon! Also, it's worth mentioning that Sophie has some delicious looking recipes on her site which I'm dying to try. I'm looking forward to making her Healing Hot Chocolate, Superfood Breakfast Oatmeal, and the Mint Cacao Smoothie. Mmmm…
Don't forget to check out Sophie's blog – she's such an inspiring, beautiful lady. Hope you enjoyed today's post and can check out her site!
What's your favourite superfood? Mine is cacao (basically chocolate – no surprise there!).
*This review was compensated but I only endorse products that I am absolutely in love with.

magical superfood smoothie yes please! looks wonderful! we love the same superfoods you do ;)
I wish I were smoothie-obsessed. I like them – yes, even the green ones. But I just can't get into the habit. I like eating meals more than drinking them, I guess.
I was excited to read this article! I use green dream everyday. I make smoothies for not only myself, but my husband and daughter too. I find comfort in knowing that my daughter is getting all the daily nutrients she needs in one smoothie. for me is eases my worries of trying to get her to eat her veggies (though i still try ;) And you are right, it is a total time saver. Thank you Philosophie!
I've hadn't heard of this company yet. The name is too cute. Oh, and I've eaten dusty cocoa, too. Love chocolate <3
What a neat product. I am checking it out now. I always get tired of opening all my different packages… time-consuming and YES, so expensive.
Me too! I love smoothies and adding superfoods. Spirulina is my favorite right now. I'm always looking for yummy ways to incorporate spirulina without overpowering the recipe. The Green Dream Blend sounds fabulous!
I am happy to hear about superfoods! They sound like a convenient way to spruce up a smoothie :-). Thanks for the post.
I love the idea of a superfood blend. I think cacao is my fave!
Why doesn't this product specific the amount (in mcg) of "superfoods" used in this powder. Anyone can say they have some amount of each ingredient but the amount of each is more important. It seems she is hiding something. It makes sense that it tastes better than other products because it probably contains less amount of these "superfoods". Beware
Leave a comment...I'd love to hear from you!

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
I planned to make this cosplay much later than I actually did. Juby told me she was going to make Lucina so I scrambled through my cloth and found some old suiting fabric that was 5+ years old and decided that I had no other choice but to use it.
-5 yards of black fabric for the coat and faulds.
-4 yards of wine lining for the interior.
-4 yards of a cream linen with notable grain.
-Leftover satin for the coat cuffs.
-Lots and lots of bias tape because I'm lazy and didn't want to make some myself.
-All details were hand painted so there were absolutely no appliques on this cosplay. Someone asked me this question at a convention, so I thought it was worth mentioning.
- Personal Thoughts:
- An 8 day rush project in order to finish in time for SacAnime Winter 2014.
Duo cosplayed with my Lucina, Jubes.

ah ...
I'm so exited that I cannot stop my impulse to not going to buy any magazine for a month , to be sure escape from free Debian dvd/cd/64/ppc/sparc/i386* waste ... save the planet
The Debian Project has finally released its long-awaited Linux update, featuring changes in security and systems management. Debian 4.0 delivers support for encrypted partitions out-of-the box and a package management system called Secure APT that verifies packages downloaded from mirror sites. There's also support for Linux …
I'm so exited that I cannot stop my impulse to not going to buy any magazine for a month , to be sure escape from free Debian dvd/cd/64/ppc/sparc/i386* waste ... save the planet
I installed a Debian 4 - 64 bit version about two months ago as a testing snapshot.
And I intend to use the 32 bit i386 (i686) as the Desktop and Networking workhorse for our company.
It really is a WOW system, Fast and powerful, Debian 4 is a towering testament to the dedication of its developers. Provides the best representation of the fantastic world of Linux productivity with reliability and security inherent in its design.
The office productivity gained with the use of the ISO world standard compliant OpenOffice 2.0 is perfectly suited to getting tasks done.
Good HP printers just work, Nikon cameras download pictures great, and of course networking is the middle name of Linux by design.
Debian is the heartbeat of so many other distributions of Linux, the whole world is a better place for its existence. Fantastic news.
As much as I like Linux (I am using it to power my e-mail/web server at home), I still have not installed Linux as my desktop "du jour".
Two simple reasons (well, three really):
1) I got annoyed when Fedora stopped distributing the source code for the OS and got the royal run-around trying to find somewhere to download it. I know, I know... but I am a newbie of sorts and trying to figure out which of the damn myriad versions of the code was the one I needed was starting to get to me.
2) Codecs. Learn to love them. I have "Media Player Classic" (not Windows Media Player, thank-you-very-much) and WinAmp running on my laptop. I get a new file I can't play in either of them... not a problem... find the codec, install it, and ALL my media applications can now understand that file format. Everytime I try to view a file in Linux, I once again get the run-around trying to find a program that will interpret that particular codec.
3) Open Office. Well, I tried. And apart from the fact I couldn't find anything in the menus (OK, so I've been using MSWord for too long), the fact I couldn't get the damn thing out of "print layout view" (or whatever it is called in OOorg) and into a "bulk-editing" view really pissed me off. And I looked.
Yes, yes, I know prople are going to tell me thousands of ways to achieve the above... but look at it this way... I am an IT professional, working with MSWindow and Unix-derivatives all day... and these three simple task *really* pissed me off simply because I could not find the options. And that's it right there - I COULD NOT FIND THE OPTIONS (assuming they exist in the first place). Help files didn't. Looking through menus got boring real quick.
Bottom line, there are still a lot of improvements required to the "user experience" before Linux comes in out of the Servers and into the Desktop at my house.
May it get there soon so I can give MS the flick once and for all.
Oh, and since we're onto the wishlists... anyone know where I can find a good MSExchange Server alternative? I need to set up Sync-ing between PDAs and a Linux mail server and would rather not go down the Exchange/Outlook path.
I've been helping my dad with his new Dell computer over the last few weeks. He bought a Dell due to the previous quality of support. But this PC came with Vista on it; while the hardware was fine the software was unusable. After spending the best part of 2 days of his relatively short life expectancy trying to progress the broken Vista installation, it was stuck in an infinite loop. I had Ubuntu and all the applications he immediately needed (OpenOffice, Evolution and Firefox) running within half an hour of starting on it. It was late on a Sunday, and Zen Internet were able to talk him through getting him online the next day quickly and efficiently. Converting his Quicken accounts to GNUCash took him and me a similar amount of time.
My mum now reports he is spending 2-3 hours a day on it. Going onto broadband at the same time has obviously helped greatly. 7 years ago when my Dad bought his last computer I wouldn't have dreamed Linux would be usable enough for him now, though I was using it myself for about half my work even then. I can even run an emulation of his Ubuntu operating system as a virtual machine on my Kubuntu system using Vmware to help talk him through what he needs to do when he has a problem - and these have been very few and minor.
For anyone who has been stuck with Microsoft applications for long, changing to a new system will take some effort. But I don't imagine going from XP to Vista will be easier than going from XP or earlier to a usable Linux such as the Debian-derived Ubuntu. If an 87 year old can successfully change to Linux who can't ?
Richard: Unfortunately, you just made part of my point for me. Had you told me that your 87yo dad had ditch Vista (a pox on MS) and installed Linux and all the application HIMSELF, I might have bowed to you and tried again. Instead, you're telling me you installed it for him... and I'm pretty sure that you know your way around Linux (based on the way you talk about it).
I like Linux. What it does well, it does AMAZINGLY well... but what it does porrly, it does so in an appalling way.
I stand by what I said in my previous comment... I enjoy Linux as a bulletproof Web/Mail/SQL etc server, I use FireFox and Thunderbird, my media player is MPC and I find that most of my software needs can be supplied by OO or FSF software... but I still find Linux infuriatingly small-minded when it comes to end-user-oriented multimedia applications.
Actually I think you miss the point - his 87yo dad would not have been able to install Vista (or XP) *either*... the only reason people say Windows is easy to install is that they usually never need to install it!

I work with media all the day
I listen and even watch almost all the time i use my computer
I use VLC for playing all media types except real media I use Real player enterprise
When i use Ubuntu I found the great VLC
and the real player gold (more similar to Real player enterprise)
VLC doesn't need any codecs to play any thing
Even I see that the gamer will still in windows as most gaming companies work for money and only money
At last it is better for business men to use a friendly Linux at their laptops

The UAE Ministry of Economy has announced a substantial increase in official fees for the registration of intellectual property rights at the Trade Mark, Patent and Copyright Offices in the UAE.
These increases in official fees are across the board, in that they apply to trade marks, patents, designs and copyright. However, they are likely to be particularly keenly felt by brand owners seeking to protect their rights in the UAE.
The official fees charged by the UAE Trade Mark Office are already possibly the highest of any national trade mark office globally, and these are now set to double. Currently, the official fees charged by the UAE Trade Mark Office for the registration of a trade mark are AED 6,000, which is equivalent to approximately, USD 1,650. These fees are now set to increase to AED 12,000 (equivalent to approximately, USD 3,300).
These fees are in addition to newspaper publication charges and to legalisation charges for Powers of Attorney, which are incurred by overseas applications and which typically amount to around USD 1,000.
These charges are, of course, separate from trade mark agents' fees which, ironically, have remained largely static in the UAE over the past 10 years.
For applicants filing through Clyde & Co, the fixed fee cost of a routine trade mark application will increase from USD 2,980 to USD 4,465 (plus legalisation charges for a Power of Attorney, where necessary).
Timing of increase
The increase in official fees is due to come into effect on 29 May 2015. This increase was announced in UAE Cabinet Decision No. 9 of 2015, which sets out rate increases for a wide range of services provided by the UAE Ministry of Economy. These rate increases are not limited to the protection of intellectual property rights, and they cover charges for matters such as establishing companies in the UAE and registering commercial agency agreements.
Existing applications
The provisions of UAE Cabinet Decision No. 9 of 2015 do not make any provision for applications which have already been filed by the UAE Trade Mark, Patent and Copyright Offices. Accordingly, our expectation is that the increase will apply to any fees which fall due on or after 29 May 2015.
Accordingly, for an existing trade mark application which has already been filed, a registration fee of AED 5,000 (USD 1,360) will apply if this fee is paid prior to 29 May 2015, whereas a fee of AED 10,000 (USD 2,720) will apply if this fee is paid on or after 29 May.
As a result, there may be an immediate rush to push forward with existing applications so that they can be completed before these rate increases apply. Also, where applications cannot be completed before 29 May 2015, applicants may choose to allow their applications to lapse rather than face these increased charges.
Details of increases
The following table sets out a selection of the increases announced by the UAE Trade Mark Office:
Click here to view the table.
In addition, by way of example for the UAE Patent Office, the filing fee for a patent application filed by a business is to increase by over 250% from AED 790 (USD 220) to AED 2,000 (USD 560). Also, for the UAE Copyright Office, the recordal fee for an application filed by a business is to increase tenfold from AED 30 (USD 8) to AED 300 (USD 85).
With the official fees which apply in the UAE already very high, these increases will undoubtedly lead to a fall off in application numbers. What remains to be seen is the overall impact of these increases on IP-owning businesses in the UAE. With registered rights playing a key role in the IP lifecycle, the question is what effect the higher cost of obtaining registered rights will have on the creation, commercialisation and protection of IP rights in the UAE.

Towards Symmetric Multi-Threaded Optimistic Simulation Kernels
In this paper, the authors address the reshuffle of the design of optimistic simulation kernels in order to t multi-core/multiprocessor machines. This is done by providing a reference optimistic simulation architecture based on the symmetric multithreaded paradigm, where each simulation kernel instance is allowed to run a dynamically changing set of worker threads that share the whole load of LPs hosted by that kernel, and that can run both application-level event handlers and kernel-level housekeeping tasks. With this organization, CPU-cores can be dynamically reassigned to the different kernels depending on fluctuations of the workload, so to maximize productivity in an orthogonal manner with respect to traditional load balancing schemes, typically employed in the context of single-threaded simulation kernels.

Advice on stickup of one half of plug in new mould using Frekote
I am rather crushed after having some plugs stick in new moulds I was making (a new Scratcho nose cone mould and a single Stratos stab mould). The stickup was only on one side, and it was the second half that was done.
These were epoxied glass parts for the plugs. Painted with 2-pack primer and black topcoat. Sanded and filled and repainted till smooth, then wet sanded and polished to mirror perfection.
I am using Frekote 700NC mould release. The gelcoat is Rengel SW10. Cured for 4 days at 35 deg C.
On both moulds, the side that was gelcoated/ built up first, released absolutely, 100% perfectly ... plugs virtually fell out of the moulds on that side but the other side is 98% paint stuck very hard. I had to destroy both plugs to get them out
A bit of history … for a year or so I've been using some stuff that a friend got from a friend, just a sample which he gave me as "Frekote". It has worked flawlessly and I have become a total Frekote convert. I ran out of the sample and have been chasing up more and with difficulty I finally got a tin of Frekote 700-NC which is the proper epoxy release product. Coincidentally, my friend managed to get the original tin of the stuff I've been using and it's actually Frewax, which is a product containing the Frekote polyester release, with some wax.
I used the 700-NC on these moulds. The only differences I can think of in the process used for the first (successful) half and the second (stuck) half were these:
1) I used the Frekote FMS mould sealer on the first half. After using it, it was hard to buff the plug back to gloss. And I'd been told that it doesn't aid the release but is more of a protector of the mould, to be used on the new moulds. So I didn't apply it to the second half of these moulds.
2) The first half, I applied Frekote, let it dry then polished it back before wiping on the next coat. A tech guy advised me that you shouldn't buff it off between coats. So on the second half I did the very thin coats as advised, but just wiped the next coat straight over the top. Only one buff at the end to gloss up the plug.
It's hard to take, not being sure what has caused such a radically different result and at the moment I feel like completely giving up. However I spent an hour or so "gently" chipping and scraping it out with chisels etc. and am gradually getting the paint off the nose cone plug, but scratching the gelcoat a bit in the process. But with some work, I hope to be able to salvage the moulds.
Any advice/ suggestions??
Sorry to ask the obvious but how long did you let the Frekote set before doing your layup? I've had similar plug-damaging results when I didn't wait long enough (typically 30 minutes for a pretty heavy spray of the stuff). I'm not using gelcoat in my layups so that is one difference.
I've also started spraying a second coat without buffing in between and have had good releases.
Not a lot of meat there but maybe something to try,
When I used Frekote I polished between layers, used the sealer and had no problems when making the molds.
You can pour some chemical paint remover, it will atack the paint and make it easier to remove with less scratch to your molds. I did it this way once and the mold did not suffer badly. I applied the paint remover with a brush so it wouldn't attack the already clean mold surface and with a piece of hard wood, was able to remove the paint. It doens' magically solve, just soften enough. It was 2k car paint.
To be clear:
The side that you DID you FMS sealer on did not stick.
We see a big difference in how the Freekote works when used in conjunction with the FMS. The 700NC is a release interface but it is not a barrier( like PVA etc.). The mold surface if left with only Freekote 700NC is more prone to sticking than with the sealer. This is especially true of composite tools.
The sealer acts as a stable substrate for the releasing interface, as you noted, the good side parts fell out. Controlling the amount of release is a bit more tricky when using sealer if you want limited release(different topic).
I used to think sealer was a nice to have, no I think it is a NEED to have. This is true even on steel tools.
I just began using Freekote a month ago, and I have to say that with using the FMS & 770NC together, I am having great luck. So much faster than wax & PVA, and the parts & plugs release VERY easily. I have been doing 3 wipe downs with the FMS (wipe on & then wipe off prior to the part drying) 10 minutes apart followed by 3 coats of 770NC (wipe on & then wipe off prior to the part drying) 10 minutes apart.
The whole sealing & release application for plugs or new molds takes basically 1 hour (apposed to most of the day for wax & PVA) and look as slick as the painted master plug. I have made 5 new molds in the past month and am a believer!!

Whoever told you that the FMS doesn't aid in the release gave you bad information. I always use the sealer when prepping plugs and molds.
If I was in your position I would try to reconstruct the problem. I'd shot a scrap with you plug paint and let it cure. Then I'd apply the sealer to one half of the sample and apply the release to the whole sample. Then do a simple layup with your gel-coat and a molding resin on the sample. Let it cure and peel it off. If the side without the sealer sticks then you know that not using the sealer is the issue.
While doing this experiment may seem troublesome, at least you will know what the problem was and choose differently in the future.
I apply the Frekote system just like ScorpionRacing and see no degradation in the quality of the plug or mold finish. I never buff the surfaces unless I'm just trying to remove finger prints, dust, and such.
Hey that's fantastic, thanks very much for that advice guys. I am kicking myself for not using the sealer on the 2nd half. If I can ever regain enough motivation to try again I think I'll get it right next time!
Also thanks for the advice on the wiping on method. I am prone to hearing new advice from someone and modifying what I do, even when what I've been doing is working fine, and then having problems. This was a case in point. Not only with the advice about the sealer but also the application method. The guy who first gave me the sample said "wipe it on, wipe it off (still wet), leave half an hour, repeat 4 times". That's what I did (making parts in my used moulds) but then recently I was told to let it dry, and wipe the new layer over the top and I changed to doing that.
So I want to get this crystal clear ... tell me if I"m wrong. Firstly for new plugs/ moulds, use the FMS sealer 3 times at the start. The method of application for the FMS and the Frekote is the same. You wipe it on thin, then within a minute or so before it's dried, you wipe it off with a dry cloth. Don't buff it, just wipe it dry. Wait 10 mins, then repeat. At the end if there are streaks etc on the gloss surface, give it the minimum polishing with a dry soft cloth.
Is that right?
I deviate when applying the 770-nc release (never used 700). The instructions make no mention of wiping it off after applying. This will often make the mold hazy and it will really build up after lots of application cycles. I end up applying it just like the FMS sealer. I wipe it on and wipe if off when I notice any of the edges start to evaporate. I wait 10 minutes between the 3 applications for new surfaces. When the mold is fully seasoned and releasing well, I wipe it off with a rag in my left while I apply it with the right hand. I've found that I need to add it every cycle with many fuselage molds. Sometime I can apply it every other molding cycle. On simple shape like canopies and some wings I've got as far as 5 cycles before reapply.
Yes, that is how I have been doing it. Wipe it on, and right back off BEFORE it dries. In my case, I wipe it off within 10~15 seconds or it will streak on me. I make sure there are no streaks before letting it set for the 10 minutes. If there is any streak that remain after the wipe down, I wipe the spot with the FMS or 770NC (whichever I am currently applying) and buff it right off. You don't want a dull spot to remain, or it will not come out easily after it dries for the 10 minutes.

New plugs and new moulds are always much riskier than seasoned moulds, They are prone to outgassing, porosity, lack of complete cure etc. If there's any stage of mouldmaking to take great care with it's new moulds!
Don't give up! It's not an easy thing to learn, but the payback in personal gratification is well worth it!
I was really bummed today... a Scratcho stab and fin that I laid up yesterday and PU filled this morning ... broke the moulds open and the paint had stuck very badly and the parts were stuffed.
But once again, it's my own fault probably, from cutting corners. These are quite well seasoned used moulds that were used with wax maybe 5 times, and with Frekote also probably 5 times. Nothing has ever stuck up in these moulds. I was using the same paint and the same epoxy resin as previously. Yesterday, before using them, I gave the moulds a rubover with Farecla G3 polish to clean off some slight roughness building up. After that I gave them 4 good wipes with Frekote 700NC. I guess the polish took off the sealed micro surface and I should have done the Frekote sealer treatment again. Do you guys agree?
But ... I am feeling rather chuffed ... I have worked out a quick fix! I thought darn, I'm not gonna spend many hours chipping away and damaging the moulds like last time. I remembered the guy mentioning using paint stripper and I probably would have tried it but I don't have any and the shops are closed. I tried wetting the paint with paint thinners and although it remained stuck hard, I thought it was maybe a bit easier to chip/ scrape off.
So I flooded the mould surface with thinners, laid a patch of paper towel over that to soak up some of the thinners, then laid a sheet of laminating film over that and put the other half of the mould on top, to press the plastic flat and keep it all shut tight. Ten minutes later, I was able to shave the paint off quite easily with a paint scraper knife, without damaging the mould. So good!
This is an annoying glitch but on the plus side I have to say it's not taking me too long to paint, lay up, vac bag, and PU fill the tails. So it's not a huge deal. Just an hour or so of depression and wanting to quit building, instead of days.
If you ever polish a mold you will strip off any release and sealer. When reapplying a semi-permanent system you want reapply the whole system......this would include the sealer.
I would be concerned that you are getting a "slight roughness build-up" on the mold surface. This shouldn't be happening. If you are getting bits stuck to the mold surface then the mold will get increasing reactive until it sticks.

CARLSBAD -- A San Marcos man was arrested just after midnight Sunday after reportedly leading Carlsbad police on a five-mile chase, authorities said.
The pursuit began after driver John Micovich, 36, fled when police attempted to stop him at Vista Way and Ditmar Street because of several vehicle code violations, Sgt. Keith Blackburn said.
From there, Micovich drove his GMC truck onto Highway 78 and Interstate 5 before yielding at a gas station on Avenida Encinas at Cannon Road, Blackburn said.
Micovich was arrested and booked into Vista jail on suspicion of drunken driving and failing to yield, authorities said.

EA Sports Early PS3 Renders?
Subject: Cases and Cooling | January 21, 2005 - 11:55 AM | Sean Pelletier
Given the convergence of graphics card vendors and gaming consoles, this seems fitting to post. Although we all have to remember this is not official and may not be true, let's all hope that these images are a good indicator of what PS3 games will look like. Do yourself a favor and follow the link!
Take note that these images are not that of a real althete!!! These are test renders!!! Although these say that the engine is for Fight Night Next Gen, EA tends to use their game engines for all different game titles. I think I can speculate that Madden 2007 may have similar graphics too. (more at http://www.gabosgab.com/reviews/EAGames.htm)

Well, maybe not if you're in a retirement community or on controlled-access roads like on an island.
But what good is a car that tops out at less than highway speeds, has very limited range, and is butt-ugly to boot? Maybe for a short commute to work, maybe not. And the thought of being next to a big rig or in any kind of crash in this thing makes me shudder. Or on a bridge on a windy day. No thanks. I'll keep my fuel-guzzling beast a little longer.

Obama's Bull Moose fundraiser
MILWAUKEE – President Obama's trip to Osawatomie last December wasn't his last brush with Bull Moose history.
The Milwaukee theater where Obama's holding a pair of fundraisers Saturday is the same place Teddy Roosevelt spoke minutes after an assassination attempt left him with a bullet in his chest in the midst of his Progressive Party run.
Roosevelt was knocked over by the shot, but not out nearly a century ago on Oct. 14, 1912 —he even stopped his aides from beating would-be killer John Schrank and began interrogating the man for his motives.
"It takes more than that to kill a bull moose," Roosevelt told the crowd when he finally took the stage at what was then the Milwaukee Auditorium, after waving off pleas to go to the hospital.
With nervous aides positioned all around to catch him if he collapsed, Roosevelt spoke for over an hour—the bullet had gone through two folds of the thick prepared remarks he kept with his glasses case in his front pocket. He even stayed to shake hands with the crowd. Later that evening, as biographer Edmund Morris recounts, Roosevelt dictated telegrams about the incident to his wife to tell her he was in "excellent shape" and to Deadwood Sherriff Seth Bullock about the kind of gun that had taken him down.
The bullet was never removed, and he went to finish - though lose - the campaign. He died seven years later.
