Make ganache the night before. Pour 1 ½ cups cream into non-aluminum saucepan and bring it a boil. Place chocolate in large, heat-resistant glass bowl. Pour hot cream over chocolate and stir until smooth. Chill overnight.
When ready to prepare, make cake according to package directions using eggs, oil and water. Pour batter into 2 greased and floured 9-inch cake pans. Bake, then remove from oven and cool completely.
Place bottom cake layer on cake plate. Remove ganache from refrigerator and whip with electric mixer until light and fluffy, 5 to 10 minutes. If ganache is not spreadable, gradually mix in additional cream.
When light enough to spread, place a generous amount of the ganache over the top of the bottom cake layer. Sprinkle with half the Heath Bar pieces.
Spread one side of the second cake layer with ganache, then invert it and set the frosted side over the candy pieces. The center will consist of a layer of Heath Bar pieces between two layers of ganache.
Cover top and sides of cake with remaining ganache. Press remaining Heath Bar pieces around side of cake, then dust top with cocoa powder.

San Diego Comic-Con post
*NOTE 1* OK< this was posted in my FA account yesterday, so, if read there, just skip ^_^*
*NOTE 2* I will not go into the hell my flight back was...just that they will get a very scathing letter...onto the con goodness.
How to describe San Diego Comic-Con...FUCKING HUGE...might describe it slightly. I have been attending furry cons and scifi cons for years. Big ones, lil ones, fun ones and crappy ones. This con just cannot be described, you gotta see it to believe it. Much like pictures cannot show the massive scale of the Grand Canyon, words just cannot do justice to the magnitude of this con.
OK, to anyone that thinks Anthrocon is "too big" or "I gotta walk all the way from the con hotel to the convention center" I do not wanna hear it anymore. The dealer room alone at SDCC is the length of 2 football fields. JUST the dealers room alone if overlaid onto the Pittsburgh convention center to the con hotel, would drape it on both sides. The amount of people is staggering. Anthrocon, the largest furry con in the world has a total of about 2,800 attendees....SDCC has over 125,000, being capped by fire marshals, otherwise there'd be even more there. Just more to give it some scale...you could fit 9 Anthrocon dealer rooms in the SDCC con hall. Let's say this...the Mach 5 for the new Speed Racer movie was there..I never saw it. I missed a huge white sports car!! THAT is big.
How was it for furries. Well, I was at the Clubstripes booth and first wanna thank EVERYONE who stopped by to just say hi, get a sketch, buy a CD or our new all color book "The Best of Clubstripes". It was a real blast. It was also fun to see "norms" approach the table, some seeing it was furry, giggling and turning away, or like the majority, at least taking a look inside our book and some even buying it. I'd say the feedback from con-goers in general was really positive, which really made the time there so much fun.
Usually at furry cons I do not buy that much stuff, I stick to my table, nose down in sketchbooks. Since SDCC is 4 days long and most days open from 10-7 I was able to walk around and buy some cool stuff and score some con swag. You name an interest, it was here. Comics, toys, Japanese collectibles, fashions, movie studios, celebrities, video games, comic creators, actors, writers, all were here. Panels for tons of upcoming TV shows, movies, you name it, it was here. I din bother with em since lines were so long to get to them. I do regret not attending the masquerade, but got to hang with some cool artists and learn some new techniques I definitely will be using. I even got to meet the man who voices Grr from Invader Zim! Heck I got to see Stan Lee get into a cab, we all cheered him, hehe. So much geekery was never so concentrated in one place.
The city itself was great too, definitely a tourist trap, but one I loved. Gorgeous weather, great places to eat and walk around on. First night there I ate at a place called Basic. They serve flat bread pizza that was soo good. They also had huge boards you could paint on, was a fun atmosphere to start off my con trip with! Had dessert at Giordelli's, they do great chocolate, uh, other places I ate at during the stay, this cool mongolian style place at the Horton Plaza mall, and Sushi Deli II..DAMN good food and lots of it, we were all stuffed
Clubstripes is getting a booth next year and I am definitely planning on attending. For me the con was worth it. It was huge beyond comprehension, crowded, hyped to death, but an experience I loved! AGAIN, I wanna thank all those who stopped by the booth and chatted, bought stuff, you all made it such a fun time there. Some I wish I had the time to hang out with more...you know who you are!
Personal cool moment..meeting Rikki Simmons, the voice of Grr!! I even drew Tristan Oakenrod, my HUGELY hung human barbarian for a friend of his in her sketchbook (I totally did not catch your name, was so hard to hear with the crowd!), was soo cool!
Oh, go buy the Best of Clubstripes book!! It will look great on your coffee table or shelf, you can get it here: www.clubstripes.com Heck, join the site if you can too, there is some great talent there. I am glad to know them. OK, plug over! ^_^

So, I look forward to attending my first MFF. If any tips or such bout the con and hotel, feel free to let me know! And definitely stop by and say Hi if you see me wandering aimlessly!

Time's running out. LAPTOP AUCTION!!!!
Who out there would like to buy a laptop with more than 1900 Gideon drawings on its hard drive?
That's right! There's something for everyone! All the content of Gideon's more than nine art CD's, plus art that has never before been published, or even seen by non-Gideon eyes. And all of this on a fine laptop computer that is in perfect operating condition and less than five years old!
You can see more details at
, and even bid on this once-in-a-lifetime offer.
Go! Bid! Buy! Be the envy of your friends!

No power and Furbid auction goodness begins
Tuesday evening had the usual weekly movie night gathering...but we had one extra guest...an insanely massive storm...with a green sky...green. First the winds started whipping and blowing, folks went out to see them, then the rain started...and hurled and stormed, lightning surrounded the house and then the power went out...and has not come back on yet.
I have been a very lucky hoss though to have such charitable and generous friends letting me soak up their intarweb, use of shower and wonderful, glorious air conditioning. Being in the high 90's has realllly sucked. As of now there is no estimated time from the power company for power restoration, maybe this weekend if lucky. Also no water, since from a well, which they are aware of, so, let's hope that expedites things!
BUT, also wanna let folks know, got an interesting Furbid auction just started. My Sony Vaio laptop, with over 1,900 pics in the HD and a custom desktop background. Go check it if yer interested.

Con Crud=Suck
Finally am getting over my AC con crud. Kinda hit me the day I got back from AC after the 5 hour car drive. Felt kinda weak and dehydrated no matter how much I drank, just felt bloated.
Later in the day got lil weaker and just woozy. Took my lovely table minion...err ASSISTANT out to dinner as a *THANKYOUSOFUCKINGMUCHFORHELPINGSELLMYSH
ITANDAMSOHAPPYANDTHANKFULFORIT* Took him to Ooka, to me THE BEST hibachi places in my area and one of the best in the world. Now, as soon as I walked in I smelled that awesome food, and just cringed as my stomach turned some. So, I sat there getting more and more woozy as thankfully my friend really dug the dinner. I had to take my meal home without a single bite!
I get so bad that I hadda ask him to drive, so, get home and up to bed for the rest of the evening. Nothing worse than that feeling that you gotta, ya know, hurl, but just can't. Many trips to the bathroom but nothing happening. I had earlier that day picked up a few lil B'day items fer myself, like the Metal Gear Solid Digital Graphic Novel fer the PSP and issue 6 of my now favorite manga "Deathnote" and I just didn't have the energy to even read or play any of them. Finally, bout midnight, well my stomach FINALLY let things go their course and man, as much as you hate it, you feel so much better afterwards. Sorry if was TMI, hehe, just hadda jot stuff down.
Still not 100%, but much better today, mostly takin it easy and just lots of water. And again, to folks who stopped by the con to wish me a Happy B'day this past Sunday, thank you!! I am always lil odd round my B'day and never make much of a deal bout it. My Mom's B'day is the 16th and Father's Day this year fell on my B'day. Both have passed on and even though a few years now, well...
Anyways, con was as in my previous post, AWESOME, had prolly my best time at an Anthrocon ever. Lookin forward to 07 so much now.

Post AC con report #2,489
OK, got home from the con rather exhausted from the 5 hour drive and the tinge of con crud I seem to usually avoid every con. BUT, damn this was for me the best AC I have ever attended.
Lessee, sales were awesome and wanna thank everyone who got some Gideon stash and sketches, I am sooo thankful and hope you enjoy it all. And wanna thank everybody who stopped by just to chat and on Sunday wish me a Happy Birthday, was truly awesome. And for those who got a $1 badge, you rawk!
What else, the convention center and hotel were outstanding. Loved the natural light in the dealer room as well. And also congratulations to folks who got my pieces in the art show. Everything went, and still not sure who got what or how much, so, that will be cool to see.
One of the highlights for me has got to be the Zoo. HUGE, and huge some more. All kinda folks just hanging, drawing, chatting and meeting there, was a great spot. Did some Dick-Pictochating there with fellow DS owners. Had some chats with the full 16 in one chat, was just too much twisted fun. Hung round with lotta great folks in there. Was also the coolest dead dog party, with DJ, munchies and just good times.
What else...good eats while there, met lotta new furs, and am not gonna even try to name em all, I know I will forget some, fergetful hoss. That's it for me, see you AC 07!!

I see an old man down on the corner,
He's preaching about the promised land.
Tells me how I am a lonely sinner,
And that he is the righteous man.
I know not of him, nor him of me,
Yet the world sees his verse as true.
He curses my name and puts me down,
But I wouldn't do the same to you.
You may see him as the good man,
But I see him and his sin.
He denies his faults and exposes mine,
So he can give you something to believe in.
He attacks me without mercy,
He never tries to find anything good.
Were it not for him you wouldn't know my sin,
There is just no way that you could.
Right or wrong, he doesn't know of me,
Well, he's never even tried.
He doesn't know of all I've been through.
He doesn't know that my best friend died.
If you want to believe all the lies he tells,
I will leave you with his point of view.
Or you could take the time to see the real me,
And I will do the same for you.

We reached our first Tayka hotel, built completely of salt, except of course for the plumbing fittings. Inside, as with all the Taykas, it is very comfortable but unfortunately their oxygen had run out and they had not been able to replace it as there seems to be a shortage.

At 3000 square metres in area, Salar de Atacama is the third largest salt flat in the world. Our journey today would see us visiting the highly saline Laguna Chaxa, home to 3 species of flamingoes and probably a billion tiny Artemia shrimp that form the diet of these fabulous birds.

Our hostel had a nightly bonfire and also one night a delicious BBQ which added to this general relaxation.
Saying that, we did do one new activity which was a night out with some ...

After a while we settled into a cool open air pizza restaurant with Chilean flags and decorations in every corner. Whilst the restaurant was extremely touristy and overpriced it had good vibe, so we decided to splash the cash and have a nice meal to start our adventure in the dessert.

Alexander's Top 20 Albums of 2011
What a year it has been. I was hesitant on compiling any "best of" lists, but decided to because it really was an exhilarating year for music. It seemed like anyone who was anyone dropped an album, mixtape, EP, LP or any other composition, and through the very… very bad shone some excellence which has me anticipating what the new year will bring. I've collected a randomized top 20 list of my favourite albums of 2011 and subsequent favourite album tracks (I thought a top 50 would've been a bit extra.) Everything I thought I liked was redefined by these albums in some way. They allowed a different scope into certain genres which I'd never been exposed to before and cemented my love for others.
1. Shabazz Palaces- Black Up
An Echo From the Hosts That Profess Infinitum
2. Amy Winehouse- Lioness: Hidden Treasures
Best Friends, Right?
3. BRAIDS- Native Speaker
4. Pusha T- Fear of God II: Let Us Pray
What Dreams Are Made Of
5. Feist- Metals
Comfort Me
6. Nicolas Jaar- Space is Only Noise
Balance Her Between Your Eyes
7. Azari & III- Azari & III
8. Kendrick Lamar- Section.80
Chapter Six
9. Luke Temple- Don't Act Like You Don't Care
In The Open
10. Meek Mill- Dream Chasers
House Party
11. Fleet Foxes- Helplessness Blues
12. Girls- Father, Son, Holy Ghost
My Ma
13. CANT- Dreams Come True
14. Ty Segall- Goodbye Bread

Artist Above has taken a corner wall of an alley that no one would look twice at, and turned it into something people will be staring at with 'The Naked Truth.'
'The Naked Truth' was created by Artist Above with a shower curtain, a wall painting of a woman washing her hair, and a real mounted shower head. The result is a street-side shower scene people will stop to talk about.

Private equity is an ownership model, generally investing in unlisted companies, playing a vital role in growing companies in many countries and industries.
Over the past few decades, private equity in Europe has grown and today forms an integral part of the economy. Private equity investments in portfolio companies – and the strategic development of these companies which typically follows – have resulted in new global champions being created as well as the consolidation of entire industries, resulting in companies that are able to compete successfully in the international arena.
Principal Situations for Private Equity Investments
In general, there are three principal situations for private equity investing:
- Buyout means acquiring a controlling interest in a more mature company. The acquisition often entails a complete change in ownership and the application of new strategies to add value to the company.
- Growth capital helps companies grow. They may need help to finance a new factory, a rapid geographical expansion or to develop new product lines.
- Special situations involve investment in a distressed company, or a company that faces special challenges.
In all these cases, the private equity fund is seeking a high-quality management team and a strategic plan to grow and improve the business.

The Nine Miles Attraction
If you are coming here, the Nine Miles Jamaica Tour is a MUST visit!
In fact, many of our visitors stated that they will never forget the experience - it was one the great highlights of their trip.
Nine Miles, you should probably already know, is the birth place of our late great, reggae superstar, Bob Marley and is also his final resting place.
About 60 miles from Montego Bay, or 1.5 hours driving, it is located just outside of Brown's Town, in the heart of the parish of St. Ann- not far from the Ocho Rios area.
The trip takes you through various villages where you can learn quite a lot about rural Jamaica- the real Jamaica.
Typically, you are greeted by a Rastaman who opens the gate just enough for the driver to enter the compound and then locks it. They will also not hesitate to let you know that the laws are different inside behind those walls. You will notice that ganja is grown (& smoke) everywhere.
The guide takes you through the black gates, up a steep but beautifully paved walkway and up to Bob's childhood home and his resting place. By the way, the guides will also ensure you learn a lot about the Rastafarian religion.
Here are some intriguing pictures of Nine Miles. Learn and enjoy!

Editor's Notes:
Question from Jill (USA) on December 16, 2011
I am looking for confirmation that marijuana is legal at Nine miles Jamaica or within the walls of the Marley Mausoleum. I can find a lot of comments on it but not the law.
I want to take students there but can't if it is illegal. Any help to find documentation on this would be appreciated.
Answer by Editor:
Hi Jill,
Thanks for the question.
Sorry to disappoint you but no my friend, Marijuana is not legal at nine miles as it is across the rest of Jamaica.
Although it might be used extensively there, there managers will tell you that it is used at one's own risk, buying or selling. Read more on Ganja (weed) here
All in all, it is a great cultural experience though! Enjoy.

The Valles Caldera Trust has prepared a Strategic Management Plan for the Valles Caldera National Preserve for fiscal years 2012 – 2018.
The plan has been submitted to OMB (Office of Management and Budget) for review and has also been posted to the Valles Caldera Trust's website vallescaldera.gov.
The strategic plan includes background information about the Valles Caldera Trust, the Valles Caldera National Preserve, and the experiment in public land management. It also presents three strategic goals that the trust intends to focus on in the coming years:
The first is to expand the public's access and enjoyment of the preserve.
Pile burn operations aimed at reducing the impacts of wildfire on the community will resume on county land this week.
The Los Alamos County Parks Division and the Santa Fe National Forest plan to continue maintenance burns in Bayo and Barranca canyons beginning on Friday.
This year's burn operations will focus on areas determined to be at high wildfire risk in the Los Alamos Community Wildfire Protection Plan. The locations have high volumes of fuel and are located directly southwest of housing areas.
"Because prevailing winds in the spring and summer are generally out of the southwest, we're focused on reducing fuels in areas that might carry embers into neighborhoods that lie to the northeast," Craig Martin said.
SANTA FE (AP) — The House on Wednesday gave bipartisan support to a proposed budget that will spend $5.6 billion on public education and other government programs next year, and provide for higher take-home pay for educators and state workers.
The measure heads to the Senate for consideration after clearing the House with the backing of all 70 Democrats and Republicans.
"This was a joint effort to do what is best for all New Mexicans," Rep. Henry Kiki Saavedra, an Albuquerque Democrat, said in a statement. He's chairman of the committee that assembled the budget.
Nearly 50 people expressed sharply divided opinions regarding options for the redesign of N.M. 502/Trinity Drive between Knecht and Airport Road at Tuesday's council meeting. The majority of the comments were in favor of option 1, the motion ultimately adopted by the council in a 6-1 vote.
As the testimony before council continued during the meeting, certain themes began to emerge on both sides of the issue.
A two-lane/slip lane roundabout at the Central Avenue intersection included in Option 1 drew much of the debate. New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) Technical Support Engineer David Quintana stated that the roundabout option met the state's requirements for that intersection.
SANTA FE (AP) — New Mexico Lt. Gov. John Sanchez is dropping his bid for the U.S. Senate.
Sanchez says he is quitting the race to avoid a bitter campaign against former Congresswoman Heather Wilson in the Republican primary to succeed retiring Democrat Jeff Bingaman.
In a statement issued Thursday morning, Sanchez said a divisive Republican Primary would "only diminish our party's genuine opportunity to bring real change in Washington."
Wilson released the following statement today in response to Sanchez exiting the U.S. Senate race:
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico Lt. Gov. John Sanchez is dropping his bid for the U.S. Senate.
Sanchez said Thursday he was quitting the race to avoid a bitter campaign against former Congresswoman Heather Wilson in the Republican primary to succeed retiring Democrat Jeff Bingaman.
In a statement issued Thursday morning, Sanchez said a divisive Republican primary would "only diminish our party's genuine opportunity to bring real change in Washington."
A 7-year-old girl remembered her stranger danger training and was able to get away from a man who tried to abduct her Wednesday at a Walmart store, police said.
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The 45-25 vote by the House on Wednesday approving a measure to stop New Mexico from granting driver's licenses to illegal aliens. Voting yes, in favor of the bill, were 33 Republicans, 11 Democrats and one independent. Voting against the measure were 25 Democrats.

The House of Representatives has passed a budget for the next spending year that begins July 2012. HB2 would provide $5.642 billion in state spending, an increase of $215 million (nearly 4 percent) over this year's budget. The spending plan leaves $41.8 million to allow for flexibility in hammering out a final budget (such as tax reductions, pension solvency, infrastructure funding, or as a hedge against weak natural gas prices).

I write about fashion, power and what powerful people wear.
When French brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière, already famous for France's first motion-picture camera, unveiled their "autochrome" in 1907 Paris, they believed it was their most exciting invention to date. Yet, could they have imagined that their creation, the first portable camera to produce true-color photographs, would inspire a massive 22-year, privately funded project to promote world peace?
That's exactly what it did. Hopelessly naïve? Batty? Maybe today, but in fin de siècle Paris, where anti-Semitism in the wake of the Dreyfus Affair festered, there was a palpable urgency in some progressive circles to squash ethnic hatred and intolerance. Jewish banker and philanthropist Albert Kahn was one of these progressive intellectuals, and, as David Okuefuna documents in The Dawn of the Color Photograph: Albert Kahn's Archives of the Planet, he would use the Lumières' new invention not only in an attempt to smooth over ethnic tensions in France, but to promote worldwide pacifism. If people from one culture could see how other cultures lived, he figured, they would gain a greater understanding and tolerance.
Alas, neither Kahn nor the color photograph could put an end to the evils of the world. (Indeed, his photographers would capture some horrific events: the first and second Balkan wars, the brutality of French colonialist forces in Vietnam and Cambodia and, of course, World War I in France and Germany.) But Kahn's massive undertaking, called "Archives of the Planet," did produce the most important–and eerily beautiful–collection of early color photographs in the world: 72,000 autochromes, as well as 4,000 black-and-white photos and 120 hours of documentary film.
In Pictures: Scenes From A Lost World
Kahn was born in 1860 in a town called Marmoutier in Alsace in eastern France–an area occupied by Prussia when Kahn was 11. Fleeing his newly German home at the age of 16, Kahn arrived in Paris, where he would become a banker and amass a large fortune, which he used for philanthropic purposes.
He set up a successful scholarship program that awarded grants to young academics to study in other countries, and when he heard of the autochrome, he saw a more far-reaching means of promoting peaceful international relations. The idea for "Archives of the Planet" likely grew from a trip he took with his chauffeur and traveling companion Alfred Dutertre through the U.S., Canada, Japan and China in 1908. Kahn brought his first autochrome camera, and had Dutertre photograph the sights and people in these foreign lands. When they arrived home in France, Kahn recruited professional photographers, supplied them with trunks of autochromes and film cans, and sent them off to photograph the world.
The photographs, hundreds of which are compiled in the new book, are breathtaking. The autochrome achieved its color through a single glass plate smeared with millions of grains of potato starch, which were dyed red, green or violet and thus acted as tiny color filters. When the plate was exposed, light entering though the lens passed through the grains on to a layer of photographic emulsion; the result was a full-color image. Some of the colors appear muted–the autochrome is not fond of yellow, for instance–but the reds–in an Irish country girl's crimson coat, say, or a ruby pool of blood on the floor of a dark town hall in Germany — are so vibrant they practically pop.
The potato starch gives the photographs a grainy, almost pixilated, quality, creating a romantic, old-world feel: fitting since many capture cultures on the brink of extinction through globalization or colonialism–something Kahn was quite concerned about. Part of his intention, writes Okuefuna, was "to record the vital, distinctive aspects of the world's vulnerable cultures." Swedish women in their bright red and royal purple embroidered outfits posing in front of a pine forest; exiles from Salonika, Greece, seeking a place of refuge in the desert and wearing flowing dhoti pants with red sashes tied at the waist; a Mongolian princess, her black pigtailed braids adorned in ribbons and jewels; a Vietnamese woman in a pink silk robe lounging in an opium dream.
Though Okuefuna, who executive-produced the companion BBC documentary, maintains in his introduction that The Dawn of the Color Photograph is primarily a picture book, in typical British fashion he sells himself and this extraordinary volume short. Each photograph is accompanied by observant notes putting the image in cultural and historical context, each section–divided by region–is bolstered with histories, journal entries and a secondary travel narrative: Dutertre getting his camera equipment confiscated in China, or Japanese shopkeepers insisting the dirty American tourists–Dutertre and his ilk–cover their shoes in "over-slippers" before entering their pristine stores.
The project began to lose speed with the 1929 stock market crash on Wall Street, which reverberated throughout the Western world and took away Kahn's fortune. Somehow, he continued funding photographic missions into the '30s, though his photographers, save for one trip in 1930 to West Africa, would never travel beyond the Mediterranean again.
Kahn, ironically, would end his life while again under German rule, in occupied Paris during World War II. He escaped the fate of more than 75,000 French Jews who died in Nazi death camps, and he passed away in his sleep in November of 1940. "At 80," writes Okuefuna, "the avowed pacifist had found peace at last." More important, he left behind countless beautiful images of now-lost worlds to enthrall us and remind us where we came from.

South Korea's hopes that the way to better relations with its northern compatriots would be through their stomachs were dashed yesterday when it was announced that Pyongyang had seized a ship delivering free rice and charged the crew with spying.
Seoul's Vice Unification Minister, Song Yong-Dae, confirmed that the North Korean government had also cancelled North-South rice talks that were due to reconvene in Peking today. "This is an unforeseen incident. So it is hard to link it with inter-Korean relations in general," he said.
Rumours that North Korea was suffering serious food shortages were confirmed at the end of May when a Pyongyang trade official on a visit to Tokyo asked Japan to lend his country rice because of bad harvests. In the event, both Japan and South Korea offered rice aid, and shipments started in June. So far, Seoul has sent about half the 150,000 tons it promised, while Tokyo has sent 100,000 of a planned 300,000 tons.
Seoul was hoping that food aid might lead to a breakthrough in relations and there were expectations that the South might unveil a new initiative on 15 August, the 50th anniversary of Japan's defeat at the end of the Second World War. Japan's occupation of the Korean peninsula ended with its defeat by the allies.
Last night it was not clear how great a threat the ship's seizure posed to North-South dialogue. Mr Song said the Samsun Venus had unloaded 5,000 tons of rice at the port of Chongjin but since Sunday had been barred from leaving.
The crew of 21 had been detained on charges of spying, including the navigation officer, Lee Yang-Chon, who had allegedly taken photographs of the port and carried out "systematic spying activities and provocations". In a message to Seoul on Tuesday, Pyongyang said Mr Lee had confessed.
Mr Song denied that the crew had been spying, and demanded their return. He urged non-official contact before 15 August to sort out the incident, but said further rice shipments to the North would be suspended for the time being.
Relations between North and South Korea have suffered other setbacks in recent months. In May, North Korea seized a fishing boat with nine crewmen, and has refused to return it. In June, Seoul accused the North of kidnapping a South Korean missionary near the North's northern border with China; Pyongyang claimed he defected, and in July, the South detained thewidow of a South Korean dissident, Park Yong Gil, after she illegally visited the North.
