Contingency plans: Kim Jong-un promotes nuclear and missile chiefs to inner circle in preparation of rocket launch
April 7, 2012
NORTH KOREA – Their elevation to senior military ranks is being seen by diplomats and intelligence experts as a sign that he intends sticking to the hard-line path laid out by his late father, whom he succeeded three months ago. It comes ahead of a planned long-range rocket launch by North Korea this week which has led to Japan and South Korea putting their armed forces on high alert, with both threatening to shoot the missile down if it approaches their territory. North Korea warned on Saturday that it would retaliate with "merciless punishment" against any country that does so. The planned rocket launch has also scuppered a food-aid deal with the U.S. which might have helped millions of hungry North Koreans. The formal transfer of dynastic power to Kim, believed to be aged 28 or 29, will be confirmed this week at two set-piece gatherings in Pyongyang where he is expected to be named to posts held by his father, Kim Jong-il, who died in December. The Workers' Party of Korea has called a special conference for Wednesday when he should be appointed its general secretary and two days later the rubber-stamp parliament is likely to name his as chairman of the national defense commission. Meanwhile Kim has surrounded himself with the officials who are planning the rocket launch that will mark next weekend's 100th anniversary of the birth of the country's founder, Kim il-Sung. The new leader is modeling himself physically on his grandfather, from his paunchy figure to his haircut and clothes. A successful launch would burnish his image as the reincarnation of the man who was posthumously proclaimed "eternal president." North Korea claims it is merely dispatching an "earth observation satellite" into space. But foreign intelligence agencies believe that the North's goal is to conduct a banned test of long-range missile technology as it tries to develop a nuclear warhead that could reach Hawaii and Alaska. Iran, which has helped North Korea to develop its nuclear and missile programs, will also be watching closely. "It is clear that this young man is moving to consolidate his leadership in a very aggressive manner with these displays of strength," said Victor Cha, who negotiated with North Korean leaders on behalf of President George W Bush's National Security Council. -Telegraph

Jeremy Newmarket
At Screens 'n' More, we serve Gold Coast area clients by transforming ordinary spaces into extraordinary ones. Our primary focus is on the supply, installation and replacement of glass architectural elements.
From a single replacement of a plain wooden wardrobe door to one with beautiful, frosted-glass inserts to the installation of glass balustrading that completely transforms the look of a staircase, we love to show our customers the infinite possibilities—and surprising practicality—of beautiful glass elements in the home.
Here are a few areas in which we specialise:
Shower Screens
Another of our most popular requests are new glass shower screens—the new standard in shower screens for the modern Gold Coast home. If your glass door has gotten old, rusty and tired looking, or—gasp!—you are still using an old curtain and rod, we'd love to help outfit you with a new frameless or semi-frameless glass shower screen.
You'll be amazed by the options. While many homeowners still prefer a fully enclosed shower with a clear glass door to let in light and create the illusion of invisibility, others have taken it further to create full glass shower chambers, attached to the wall on only one side with the other three made of glass panels. It's the ultimate in minimalist luxury and the creation of a spacious, air-filled, spa-style bathroom. We supply our shower screens to builders who produce amazing bathroom renovations. If you're in the Brisbane area click here for more information about shower screens supply and installation in Brisbane.
Built In Wardrobes
We have nothing against the old-fashioned standalone wardrobe, which is often beautifully crafted and built to last a lifetime. But increasingly, homeowners are treating them as just that—heirlooms or accent furniture. They're no longer considered the most practical choice for storing clothing and personal belongings.
That's why we have so many requests to build or modify built-in closets, which can be made in any shape or size, outfitted with custom organisation systems and tucked away behind closed doors without taking up any space in the room itself. We add built-in wardrobes in all parts of the home, such as entryways for coat storage and children's rooms for their own clothing and other belongings.
Far and away the most common request is for new or expanded built in wardrobes for the master bedroom. Here, wardrobes are often rooms unto themselves—wide pockets or deep, walk-in spaces to accommodate and organise every bit of clothing in the most orderly fashion possible thanks to custom additions such as shoe racks, combination drawer/shelf units, flexible hanging options and even jewelry drawers. If you can imagine it, we can build it!
Wardrobe Doors
If you're going to build the wardrobe of your dreams, you shouldn't settle for just any old wardrobe door. There are so many options to choose from—traditional, contemporary or anywhere in between.
For starters, the style of your wardrobe will at least partially dictate what door choice works best. Deep wardrobes with more narrow openings usually call for a traditional, single-panel hinged door—but that doesn't mean it has to be boring. Glass paneling, whether single-or multi-paneling, can be a stunning look with crystal, frosted or colored glass panels inset into any door.
For wide doors, the choices are even greater. We can do a series of hinged doors or wide sliding doors, for instance, depending upon preference and space considerations. These are also available in different types of glass or mirroring.
Glass Splashbacks
In kitchens and other areas where you want to protect your walls against splattering water or grease, splashbacks serve a critical function—but they also provide a great opportunity to express your personal style or complete the design scheme of the room. Of all the options available, glass is becoming more and more popular as a splashback for its versatility and easy to clean maintenance. It can also create a sophisticated look at a very affordable price.
Painted walls in a solid hue, elaborate designs or anything in between are stunning when encased in glass, which protects the paint with an easy to clean surface that also reflects light in the room. Glass splashbacks are also versatile when it comes to the glass itself, which is available in crystal-clear, frosted, smoked, printed or coloured glass. We even install glass tiles in any size to create a unique, oceanic look.
Whether you're building a new home or simply redecorating a single area of the house, please call us today to find out about the infinite options when it comes to designing with glass. Our team is experienced in the many choices available to you and can offer suggestions about choices that will work well both functionally and aesthetically to bring your design ideas to life.
We provide Shower Screens, Built in Wardrobes, Wardrobe Doors and Internal Shelving Fitouts throughout the Gold Coast. Give us a ring and we will arrange a free quote. We can come and visit you and bring samples of your different options.

This is part one of my rebuttal(s) to the long essay at the LDS Topic site, called "Translation and Historicity of the Book of Abraham". I am extremely busy at the moment, so please be patient with further responses. (Part two is now here.)
I follow my earlier format of claims first, and then the facts.
Essay Claim: "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints embraces the book of Abraham as scripture."
Facts: In the beginning line, we have a definitive statement that will likely haunt the LDS Church for decades to come. They reaffirm the book of Abraham (BoA) is indeed "embraced" as scripture. Yet, when was the last time they spent much time discussing it in their general conference? Since I no longer attend, I can't say for sure, but my intuition tells me they have disregarded it as scripture by omission for a decade.
Essay Claim: "The book originated with Egyptian papyri that Joseph Smith translated beginning in 1835."
Facts: The claim is that Smith "translated" it but the word translate is never nailed down in definition. The essay moves from "Joseph Smith claimed no expertise in any language" to "The Lord did not require Joseph Smith to have knowledge of Egyptian." They leave it as a mystery how Joseph Smith "translated" the BoA. They take at his word that he did it by "the gift and power of God" requiring extreme faith because of the facts that have followed over the century and a half since. At one point later in the essay, they try to compare the process to how Cowdery was supposed to attempt translating the Book of Mormon from a stone in a hat with the plates removed from his possession (see the "Mad Hatter Translation" blog here) and imagine (i.e., study) the plates and translation of them in his mind:
"Neither the Lord nor Joseph Smith explained the process of translation of the book of Abraham, but some insight can be gained from the Lord's instructions to Joseph regarding translation. In April 1829, Joseph received a revelation for Oliver Cowdery that taught that both intellectual work and revelation were essential to translating sacred records. It was necessary to "study it out in your mind" and then seek spiritual confirmation. Records indicate that Joseph and others studied the papyri and that close observers also believed that the translation came by revelation." (from the essay)
However, Smith's (and his scribes) wrote in his own words, specifics about the "translation" process that contradict the latest topic essay, including (emphasis added):
"I commence the translation of some of the characters or hieroglyphics, and much to our joy found that one of the rolls contained the writings of Abraham." (History of the Church, Vol. 2, p. 236 – July 1835).
"[July, 1835] -- The remainder of this month I was continually engaged in translating an alphabet to the Book of Abraham, and arranging a grammar of the Egyptian language as practiced by the ancients." (History of the Church, Vol. 2, p. 238).
"October 1 [, 1835] -- This afternoon labored on the Egyptian alphabet, in company with Brothers O. Cowdery and W. W. Phelps, and during the research, the principles of astronomy as understood by Father Abraham..." (Ibid, p. 286)
"November 17, 1835 -- Exhibited the alphabet of the ancient records, to Mr. Holmes, and some others" (Ibid, p. 316).
"The record of Abraham and Joseph, found with the mummies, is beautifully written upon papyrus, with black, and a small part red, ink or paint, in perfect preservation." (History of the Church, Vol. 2, p. 348—possibly attributed to Cowdery).
Clearly the writers of the latest topic essay have either ignorantly left out or purposely hid Smith's own words about the translation process, saying there are no eyewitness to the mysterious process. Joseph Smith, in whom they place the gift of God said some fairly precise statements about the process. These words lead us to conclude that at the very least Smith believed he was translating in a usual process through alphabets, grammar and writing upon papyrus. If he believed he was performing this kind of literal translation from the papyrus written upon by the hand of Abraham then either he was duped by himself or by God as to what was happening. Either way, this opens some serious questions about trustworthiness in the process and 'translator'.
Essay Claim: "It is likely futile to assess Joseph's ability to translate papyri when we now have only a fraction of the papyri he had in his possession... Since only fragments survive, it is likely that much of the papyri accessible to Joseph when he translated the book of Abraham is not among these fragments."
Facts: This statement is very suspect. They claim that we have only a fraction with only one statement from unnamed "eyewitnesses" who said he saw it unrolled on the floor. In actuality, the eyewitness (from note 32) is actually a story attributed to Joseph F. Smith. But this quote is known only from a casual comment by Hugh Nibley, who heard it from Preston Nibley, who heard it from President Smith, who was recalling a time when he was five years old or younger. Hearsay. I dare the LDS Church to show us otherwise.
Furthermore other studies have shown that we likely have the larger portion of the papyri. For example, the following Dialogue (a journal written by scholarly Mormons) article goes into complex mathematical calculations in order to accurately estimate the total length of the original papyri using the recovered papyri and markings on the papyri. This winding analysis indicates how big of a scroll the papyri were originally rolled into when they were put in with the mummies. This way they can estimate how much papyri can possibly be missing from the papyri.
The scholars using mathematics conclude:
"...no more than 56 cm of papyrus can be missing from the scroll's interior. Shortly after the papyri were recovered by the LDS Church, Klaus Baer estimated the original length of the Hôr scroll to have been 150–155 cm. He arrived at this estimate by comparing the text to other copies of the Document of Breathing, particularly Papyrus Louvre... Baer's estimate for the length of papyrus missing from the scroll's interior, starting from the left edge of the innermost extant fragment, is 14+35+0.5+16+0.5=59 cm. This agrees remarkably well with the 56 cm obtained from our winding analysis. … The ultimate success of any existing or future theory will depend on its ability to account for all of the evidence, including the fact that there was simply no room on the papyrus for anything besides the Breathing text."
The upshot of this is, we have about two-thirds of the completed scroll, of which never mentions Abraham, and whose translation is determined by dozens of scholars as the traditional, well know Egyptian Document of the Breathing. The missing portion of scroll is very well accounted in missing portion of the traditional Breathing which leads scholars to conclude "the fact that there was simply no room on the papyrus for anything besides the Breathing text."
When the essay says "fraction" they imply a tiny portion such that the remainder would have the actual source of the BoA. But scholars have mathematically measured the scroll and found this claim wholly wrong. The LDS Church ignorantly or deliberately leaves this information out of the essay.
Essay Claim: "The loss of a significant portion of the papyri means the relationship of the papyri to the published text cannot be settled conclusively by reference to the papyri."
Facts: Bullshit. And they know it. They contradicted themselves elsewhere in their own essay. Quote: "The fragments included one vignette, or illustration, that appears in the book of Abraham as facsimile 1." They claim first we cannot test the translation because we have none of the actual fragments Smith used. Then they claim it is "included" and "appears" in the BoA fascimile 1 (and we know #2 and #3 as well).
We have literal translations of each facsimile which are printed in every copy of the BoA in the Pearl of Great Price. If Smith translated these directly, as the notations provide in each member's copy, and they almost entirely do not match scholarly translations, then the essay is wrong. We can test the translation against the published text because a direct relationship between them exists.

If Smith translated these directly, as the notations provide in each member's copy, and they almost entirely do not match scholarly translations, then the essay is wrong. We can test the translation against the published text because a direct relationship between them exists.
To wit, I will use Bart Pascoal's wonderful infographics to illustrate:
Click on each above graphic to read the small text in larger size. For an extremely thorough discussion of these and more issues about the book of Abraham, please visit this Mormonthink page.
The upshot is, Smith attempted to claim he was translating directly from the characters on the pictorials of the facsimiles. This direct relationship to the text (found in the surviving 2/3rds of papyri) show a complete failure at translating. How then can one have faith that the rest of the text is correct? Furthermore, if it's shown with little doubt that Joseph Smith could not translate regular Egyptian in the papyri we do have, then how can we trust he translated something called "reformed Egyptian" on gold plates we don't have?
The case of the Book of Abraham is tied to the authenticity of the Book of Mormon. The essay writers plainly said so when they compared the translation methods between the two (quoted above) and left Smith hung out to dry. He couldn't translate Egyptian, reformed Egyptian or anything else except his own imagination.

Any activity that involves learning and eating a yummy treat is likely to be a hit with the kiddos. Although making rock candy takes patience, the sweet confection is worth the wait. When explaining the process to your kids, keep it simple, but do offer a few details about how and why the sugar transforms into hard crystals to make the candy-making something of a learning experience.
Prepare a 12-inch length of string for the rock candy several hours or even the day before you plan to introduce your kids to making rock candy. Mix the 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of water together, and then coat about 3 inches of one end of the string with the sugar mixture. Stretch out the string and set it aside somewhere to dry.
Show your little one a prepared chunk of rock candy and let her hold it before you begin making your own. Encourage your child to feel it, touch it and even lick it if she wants, so she gets an idea of what rock candy is. Tell her, "Rock candy is one of the first kinds of candy that people learned how to make. A long time ago, people even used rock candy to make some kinds of medicine."
Tell your child, "It only takes two ingredients and a little time to make rock candy. If we mix water and sugar together very carefully, we can make it ourselves. Would you like to try?"
Measure 1 cup of water and 3 cups of white sugar. Let your little one help you stir the ingredients together in the saucepan.
Heat the sugar water over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until it boils. This isn't the time or place for little assistants – make sure you're handling the heating process by yourself without help to avoid burns. When the mixture boils gently for about 30 seconds, turn off the burner and move the saucepan off the stove.
Pour the hot sugar water into the canning jar. Watch for splashes – this sugar water could be lethal if it spills.
Grab that string you prepared and tie the unsugared end of it around the pencil so that the string is long enough to go beneath the surface of the sugar water -- about 1 inch. Position the string into the jar with the pencil laying horizontal over the top of the opening of the jar. Drape a piece of paper towel over the top of the jar.
Find a safe spot to store the jar to let the rock candy start to grow.
Check the rock candy every day to see how it's growing. As you check it, seize this opportunity to explain how rock candy works to your little one. You might say, "We mixed up the water and the sugar to make very sweet water and then we made it very hot. The combination of sugar and hot water made the ingredients change as the water started to cool. The other thing that happened was that some of the water started to disappear because we let it sit so long in the jar – we call this 'evaporation.' The cooling and evaporating water made the tiny sugar molecules come out of the water and they attached to the string. The more time that goes by, the more sugar molecules form on the string."
Let your little one sample the rock candy after a week or 10 days pass -- and you have a sweet little chunk of candy growing on the string.

Fairy Relaxing
Here is another cute image I got the other day. This is Wineglass by Sylvia for Spesch Designer Stamps. I thought it was so cute. This image is colored with Copic Sketch markers (BG000, BG01, E00, E01, E33, E35, YG41, Y13, Y15, YR02, YR09). I used the Buttermilk Spica pen on her wings and Stickles Waterfall on the water. The CS is Stampin Up and all the other paper is scraps from my stash. The stamp around the sentiment is Stampin Up and is punched out with the coordinating punch. I used Spellbinder Nestabilities Circle and Beaded Circle die cuts. The lacy strips are punched out with a punch from Martha Stewart Crafts. The rhinestones are from my stash and the flowers are Spiral Roses I made from a quilling kit by Quilled Creations.
I plan to enter this card in these challenges:

Q. We powder coat thicker gauges of steel (10-gauge to ¼-inch plate), using a blast operation for some of the heavier parts. We use a multi-stage wash system with iron phosphate on everything. Our pretreatment chemistry is fairly aggressive because of weld areas and other imperfections that do not go through the blast process. We want to test the parts to confirm proper pretreatment coating performance before shipment, but we have some problems with impact and conical mandrel bend testing. The aggressive reaction of the washer chemistry can cause flash rust or other problems on the lightweight panels needed for the bend tests. Is there some way to create a bend test for our heavier materials? How can we confirm that our pretreatment and powder are working correctly? J.J.
A. A bend test or impact test on heavier-gauge material is not practical. The point of these tests is to deform the metal and see if the powder adheres. If you hit a 10-gauge plate hard enough to impact or bend it, the powder will be damaged and the results will not be clear. Dry adhesion is a good test for these surfaces. Also, you can do corrosion testing to find out how the pretreatment and powder are working together to provide good performance. Salt spray is one test, but it takes a long time to get the results, and it is only good for comparison and cannot predict field life. Cyclic testing is better for actual performance, but it also takes time. You may want to try a Machu test. Machu combines glacial acetic acid, salts, hydrogen peroxide and water to brew a highly corrosive solution. A scribed panel in the solution may show signs of failure in 24 to 48 hours of immersion if the pretreat/powder combination is weak. You should be able to find the directions on the web, but if you cannot, contact me and I will send it to you. It is a strong solution that must be used in well-ventilated areas with proper personal protection equipment and disposed of properly, but it will work quickly. You should also do a cure test to make sure the powder is fully cured. If you use the chemical rub test as described by PCI #8, you should be sure to compare the results to a known cured sample. The results of the chemical rub test reflect the chemical resistance of the powder, so comparison is essential to understand the results.

Wirsbo hePEX Tubing
Wirsbo hePEX™ Tubing
Wirsbo hePEX Tubing
Wirsbo hePEX™ Tubing
Wirsbo hePEX™ was the first and is the most widely used PEX-a tubing for radiant heating and cooling systems in North America. For more than 35 years, professionals have relied on our product for the consistent, superior performance it provides.
Benefits of PEX-a
Wirsbo hePEX™ is Engel-method crosslinked polyethylene (PEX-a) tubing with an oxygen barrier that prevents corrosion of ferrous components in a closed-loop radiant hydronic system. The tubing features the highest degree of crosslinking for the greatest durability and flexibility, and also offers the tightest bend radius (six times the tubing diameter) to help avoid kinks. However, in the unlikely event of a kink, PEX-a tubing is the only PEX tubing that can be easily repaired with a shot of heat from a heat gun without compromising the tubing's integrity.
Small to Large Dimension Offering
Uponor offers Wirsbo hePEX tubing in 5/16" through 4" sizes to effectively meet any application need, whether residential, commercial or industrial. Wirsbo hePEX tubing up to 2" is compatible with engineered plastic (EP) and brass ProPEX® fittings. Uponor WIPEX™ brass compression fittings are compatible with Wirsbo hePEX tubing up to 4".
Key Features
• Sizes from 5/16" through 4"
• PEX-a highest degree of crosslinking
• Most flexible (6x tubing diameter)
• Patent-pending oxygen-barrier coating
• Meets ASTM F876-08b dimensional requirements
• Meets ASTM UV-resistance requirements
• Compatible with ProPEX® and WIPEX™ fittings
• Backed by a 25-year limited warranty

I can't be surprised that I get some very concerned reactions when I tell people that next on my travel agenda is South Korea. The American news media has over-hyped the danger excessively. The simple fact is this: if war breaks out I won't go, but I have a feeling things will have died down in a few weeks. If the events in Boston last week have shown us anything, it's that there are no ~safe~ places where we can hide ourselves away from conflict and danger.
By crime statistics alone, I'm more likely to be stabbed or shot in New York City, Washington D.C. or Chicago than I am in Seoul. Besides, I like to tell people, women are more likely to be murdered in their own homes, I so I should really get out more.
It seems to be an issue of xenophobia in most cases. The flack I'm getting is mainly from people who have never left the United States before. I had an infuriating discussion with my friend's mother-in-law over the weekend. She's a woman very set in how she thinks things should be done, on what is "proper," especially regarding how women should behave. She lives ten miles from the spot she was born and has rarely ventured farther.
I told her that basically, South Koreans aren't that worried about the North Korea threat, as evidenced in this video from Seoulistic:
She told me, "I wouldn't trust anything a Korean has to say at this moment."
I stared at her. "You realize North Korea and South Korea are two different countries who don't get along? South Korea is allied with the United States?"
"Well they hate Americans everywhere," she insisted, "We're the ugly Americans, everyone hates us."
I couldn't help but (unkindly) think that in her case, the 'ugly American' image of ignorance and intolerance might not be too far off the mark.
She went on to tell me how her friend who went to England was 'only alright' because she had a local take her to places where she wouldn't be harassed.
"I went to England and Italy and I didn't have issues," I told her.
"Well you didn't, but you will– we are hated all over the world," she kept insisting.
It must be a very scary world to her. She must imagine that people wait with sticks to beat Americans in the streets. Indeed it stands to reason that there are jerks everywhere, that there may be a few locals who won't like you or more likely, will over-charge you. But when we meet someone from another country, for the most part, we are curious for them to share their experiences with us. We want to know about them, we want to share our culture and learn about their's. I think that's largely the same in most places. I mean, there are places where it is more dangerous. There are certain countries I wouldn't be comfortable going to at this time, South Korea isn't one of them.
It just seems to me that most Americans have this warped idea that everywhere outside the fifty states is wild and uncivilized and scary. Let's be honest, there are plenty of places in the states that are just those things. When I used my brother as evidence of a tranquil living abroad experience, the inevitable, "But he's a man, you're just a little girl, it's different," argument came up. I resented being told I was a child, and that my gender was somehow a handicap. I suppose it must seems strange though. When she was my age she was married to the boy next door and having babies. She doesn't understand wanting something different.
I suppose I shouldn't be shocked. Our media is flooded by things like "Locked up Abroad" (which this woman assures me will be my fate), and Taken. We aren't well educated about the world around us. Even England, a country that has (basically) the same language and similar culture isn't understood. I compiled this post last summer before I left for Oxford citing a few of the weirdest misconceptions I heard people spout when I told them about my trip.
The funny thing is, the only people who seem all that fussed are people who have never traveled out of the country, or at least not beyond a resort in the Bahamas or something. The people who have traveled, who actually know about the world are more excited for me than scared. And to be fair, not all my friends who haven't traveled are giving me a hard time, just a noisy few who see fit to act like they are experts on cultural relations. The only thing they are experts on is xenophobia.

Within a single cluster, Couchbase Server employs peer-to-peer replication. It automatically creates copies of active data, distributes those replicas across the nodes in the cluster, ensuring that every copy is located on a separate node, and then continues to maintain the replicas over time.
Couchbase supports up to 3 replicas (which means up to 4 copies of data). Peer-to-peer replication allows for the best performance and resource utilization as well as eliminating possible bottlenecks and single points of failure. Each node replicates separate slices (vBuckets) of its active data to multiple other nodes so that the no one node is a replica for any other one node.
If a node goes down, Couchbase Server recovers that data by activating the replicas that already exist elsewhere in the cluster. This process is known as failover. Failover can be automatic or manual, and failover can be scripted to satisfy specialized requirements.
The redundancy that replication provides protects against the loss of data on any single node and helps increase data availability by allowing recovery from hardware failures and service interruptions. Replication also further increases read availability by servicing requests in the short time that an active copy is unavailable before failover takes place.
As mentioned earlier, by default replicas are only for the purpose of high availability and are not used in the normal serving of data. This allows Couchbase to be strongly consistent and applications immediately read their own writes by not ever requesting data from a node that it is not active on. The managed caching layer of the data service allows for extremely high throughput and low latency with mixed workloads to either a small or large number of documents on a given node. It is not uncommon to measure response times of under 1ms at the 99th percentile of 100's of thousands of requests per second to a single node.
Replicating data to different data centers using XDCR provides locality and increased availability of data for applications.

In its latest e-mail newsletter, Conlan Press has formally announced that the 1982 animated film The Last Unicorn will be getting a theatrical re-release next year. "Starting early next year and running through the middle of 2013, there will be more than 80 special digital theater screenings of The Last Unicorn taking place in America, Canada, Great Britain, and Germany. [Last Unicorn author] Peter [S. Beagle] will be at every one of these events to do audience Q&A, meet people, and sign stuff."
Furthermore, the film will also be getting a five-million dollar digital overhaul. "Not remastering, mind you, but renovating: going through The Last Unicorn from end to end and top to bottom, spending five million dollars to upgrade the special visual effects and soundtrack, smooth out and improve character animation, finish background paintings that were never completed, and add five to eight minutes of entirely new shots and sequences that will bring the story to a whole new level. And when the work is done, this wonderful new 30th Anniversary Version will be given a worldwide theatrical release in both 2D and 3D."
The 1982 film was produced by American production company Rankin/Bass Productions and animated by Topcraft, the Japanese studio that animated Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind two years later.

So as I told ya'll yesterday, I was going to show ya'll something you don't see from me everyday, but I hope to share more often, if ya'll don't mind. If you've been hanging around here long enough, ya'll know that I'm a scrapbooker as well as a cardmaker. It's actually where my love of paper began. I did this scrapbook page in advance of our trip to a beach (somewhere--Pensacola, or now we are thinking Corpus Christi, TX) in the next few weeks. We need to decide quick! I used a few different things from The Cat's Pajamas on here and it came together super quick. The sentiment on the patterned paper is stamped from the LIFE'S A BEACH set and you can readily see a couple of the CutUps dies I used--GLASSES and the WAVE border dies.
Then there's the TAG! I used the one of the new LUGGAGE TAG CutUps dies, stamped it with several images from the SUMMER SENTIMENTS stamp set, and finished it off with some ribbon and Linen Thread.
We'd love it if you played along in our TCP Tuesday challenge! HERE'S the details on what will come of it if you do!
SUSIE Q-TIP: Since I don't have pictures for this page yet (am I the only one that does this--make pages ahead of time?), I adhered the tag with non-permanent adhesive so I can easily pull it off and then restick it onto the corner of the beautiful beach pic that will be there very very very soon. AHHHHHH!!! Can't wait to drink something with an umbrella in it!
Stamps: Life's a Beach, Summer Sentiments (The Cat's Pajamas)
Paper: Lt. Blue, Vanilla, Oatmeal (AC), Kraft (PTI), Surf 'n Swim (Trinity Paper)
Ink: Vintage Photo (Ranger), Not Quite Navy, Orange (SU!), Chestnut Roan Cat's Eye (Colorbox)
Accessories: Glasses, Wave, Luggage Tag CutUps Dies (The Cat's Pajamas), Swirl Embossing Folder, Thickers (AC), Twine, Washi Tape, Ribbon, Linen Thread (TCP), 3D Glue Dots, Jody Boosters
Finished Size: 12x12

This is DIY install of tweeters for a BMW E60/E61 5 Series. Mine is a 06 plate 520d but the approach will be almost identical for all E60/E61 variants.
The base spec E60/E61 does not come with tweeters as standard, however the grill and aperture for the speakers is there and there is a connector on the mid-range speaker in the doors for the tweeter. It is however not a standard connector and a bespoke BMW connector.
You can buy the actual BMW tweeters to install with the correct connector but these cost around £60 even on e-Bay and probably even more from BMW. So I decided to buy some reasonable quality tweeters from Halfords which were Vibe BlackAir 25mm tweeters for about £25. The reality is any 25mm tweeters are likely to fit.
I then bought the correct connector from BMW which consists of the connector and 2 flying leads. The high level BMW part number is 61136925634 but this will also come with the flying leads (61130005197 and 61130006663) and covering cap (61138352588) which they should provide if you ask for the first part number. The total cost for all parts for both sides was £7.70 from BMW.
I then simply soldered the BMW connector onto the Vibe BlackAir tweeter flying lead.
OK so now the tweeters are prepared it was time for the install. Below is a photo of the inner door of the car.
There are 2 screws to undo, the first is next to the top hinge which is a cross head screw.
The second is hidden behind the plastic AirBag logo. Just prise the plastic logo out gently with a flat screwdriver to reveal the trox screw.
Once both of these screws are removed then it is a case of gently prising the door card away from the door. I used a metal ruler but a wallpaper scraper or similar would also work. Just be careful not to scratch the paint. I found that pulling towards you works best.
This bit almost feel like you are about to break the door but hold your nerve, you should hear a series of popping sounds as you work round the door which is releasing the white bullet type connectors. Once you have a few released you can then get your hands in and gently pull instead of using the ruler.
Once complete the whole door card shold ease away from the door. You have to lift it up the whole door card to disengage the top part and to lift over the door lock indicator at the top. Lay the door card gently on the ground, you may need to rest it on a stool or unplug some of the connectors to avoid strain on the connectors. now to the tweeter surround itself.
The tweeter surround is held in place by the weather seal around the door, so gently ease this back and the plastic surround should come away from the door to reveal the aperture for the tweeter behind.
If you are using the OEM BMW tweeters then they simply click in place, however if like me you are using a generic tweeter you can use some duck tape just to hold the tweeter in place. Once in place on the door the foam surround and plastic grill hold the tweeter quite firmly anyway. Then re-fix the tweeter surround back in place with the door weather seal and run the tweeter cable along the existing cable run as detailed below, using a bit of electrical tape to hold it in place.
The tweeter connector should then simply click into the spare socket on the back on the midrange speaker as shown below.
It is then a case of reversing the removal of the door card, starting with hooking the door over the door lock indicator and fixing the top of the door. Then work you way round the door card clicking into place the white bullets, making sure that non of them fall out. You might have to thump the door card quite hard to make them click correctly.
Now turn on your stereo and enjoy the improved sound! You will have to play around with the treble controls to get the right balance.

In these rough economic times, employment law is a field of law continuously growing in popularity. There is a greater demand for lawyers who specialize in employment law, given the growing needs for legal counsel in employment law. Business owners and employees alike have a great need for employment law specialists for advice and representation because there is much to lose and few chances that people can take in these hard economic times. This is why a growing number of law students are attending school and trying to major in fields like business law, contract law, and most importantly employment law. These students also face the daunting intellectual task of writing numerous employment law essays throughout their college years.
Some employment essay tips:
- always refer to specific law cases
- keep in mind the doctrine of common employment
- feel free to refer to the employer's law duties
- along with shortlisting a law, comment and analyze it
Employment Law Essays
Employment law essays and rule of law essays are seldom simple or easy to understand. There are a number of factors in play in the whole employment field, from local to national laws as well as contracts with labor unions and other entities with legal, economic, or bargaining power. Employment law must consider certain factors, such as age, ability, and background of potential employees.
Employment law also must take into account legal policies such as affirmative action and employers must avoid even the most benign action that could remotely be misconstrued as discrimination. These are all topics and concepts that law students must consider when writing an employment discrimination essay as well as any other kind of employment law essay.
Employment Law Essays for Students
Law students must also take special care to do all the research necessary for writing law essays their professors will be pleased with. There are a number of laws and court cases that deal with such topics as employment discrimination, workplace safety, child labor, minimum wage, and more. Despite the fact that practicing lawyers have teams of staff members that can do the research required for court cases as well as much of the argument writing, professors of multiple courses act like their students have no other classes, and proceed to assign numerous employment law essays as well as many other kinds of law essays. Law students simply don't have the time to keep up with this demand.
LawEssays.org Can Help You
This is exactly why our irac method law exists. We strive to help law students take care of their mountains of law coursework. Our services are affordable and students can expect a well-written custom-made employment law essay (or any other kind of law essay) that follows their professor's requirements well before the deadline. Satisfaction is guaranteed and your success is our goal.

There's so much to love about the jersey trend: the fantastically flowy drape, unparalleled comfort, near-miraculous ability to flatter almost any figure. But it's not just those sensual pleasures that make us lust after Sworn Virgins' stretchy jersey tops, skirts, dresses, and leggings. Launched in 2006, the entire line is made from renewable, biodegradable bamboo that's produced with zero pesticides.
L.A.-based designers Roshanne Aghevli and Alex Amini -- who named their company after an ancient Albanian custom in which women pledged lifelong chastity -- also keep it pure by recycling the water used in their dying process. And since no Sworn Virgin piece requires any eco-unfriendly dry-cleaning, it's that much easier for ladies to look every bit the fox while still treading lightly on Mother Nature.

Professor's Arabic calligraphy inspires Turkish university's 250th anniversary sculpture
Dr. Nihad Dukhan, professor of mechanical engineering, leaves a lasting mark on Istanbul Technical University (ITU) in Istanbul, Turkey with his artistic Arabic calligraphy.
Dukhan's figure of the 'pencil' inspired a major portion of ITU's 250th anniversary sculpture which greets campus visitors on ITU's Ayazaga campus.
The sculptor describes his work of a globe in the form of circles representing the continents, 250 figures of people passing through the center, topped with Dukhan's signature pencil representing academic writing and research.
It is not a coincidence that Dukhan's work inspired the sculpture.
He spent a year at ITU as a Fulbright scholar conducting research and teaching at the prestigious Turkish university. See UDM Engineering programs are world-class says Fulbright Scholar
"I left my mark," says Dukhan. "It is a big honor to have inspired a sculpture celebrating 250 years of this institution in this major city. This is a dream come true."
Dukhan's interest in Arabic calligraphy began when he was in the sixth grade.
He studied with noted grand master calligrapher Hasan Celebi and received his master scribe degree after 11 years of study. Dukhan also studied with master calligrapher Mohamed Zakariya for 6 years and received a second master scribe degree in 2013.
His work has been exhibited in major US cities and sold in the US, Europe, the Middle East and Japan. His commissioned designs include company logos, book covers, CD jackets, wedding invitations and others.
Dukhan is active in promoting Arabic/Islamic calligraphy and increasing people's awareness of its cultural significance through exhibits, lectures and workshops.
Congratulations Dr. Dukhan on your accomplishments!
