The propagation of waves in shallow water is a phenomenon of significant practical importance. The ability to realistically predict the complex wave characteristics occurring in shallow water regions has always been an engineering goal which would make the development of solutions to practical engineering problems a reality. The difficulty in making such predictions stems from the fact that the equations governing the complex three-dimensional flow regime can not be solved without linearizing the problem. The linear equations are solvable; however, their solutions do not reflect the nonlinear features of naturally occurring waves. A recent advance (1984) in nonlinear mathematics has resulted in an explicit solution to a nonlinear equation relevant to water waves in shallow water. This solution possesses features found in observed nonlinear three-dimensional wave fields. The nonlinear mathematical formulation referred to above has never been compared with actual waves, so that its practical value is unknown. The purpose of the present investigation was to physically generate three-dimensional nonlinear waves and compare these with exact mathematical solutions. The goals were successfully completed by first generating the necessary wave patterns with the new U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, Coastal Engineering Research Center's (CERC) directional spectral wave generation facility. The theoretical solutions were then formed through the determination of a unique correspondence between the free parameters of the solution and the physical characteristics of the generated wave.

How To Get Rid of Debt Fast
Have you ever asked yourself, "How do I get rid of debt?" You are not alone. Consumer debt in America is out of control! Because of this, getting out of debt has become an industry! More and more Americans are up to their neck in debt. And with the current economic conditions, things don't seem predetermined to get better!
How Do You Get Rid of Debt?
There are a lot of methods out there and many of them are scams that could damage your reputation, and ruin your credit. Debt Consolidation Loans are a common way to do this, but they one will only have you paying the bills to a different creditor. You may lighten the load a little bit, free up some money, and save a few years (maybe cutting your debt down to 20-25 years). But why get rid of debt 20-25 years when you can do so much faster?
Nowadays, you even have to be careful when dealing with debt consolidation. A lot of these "non-profit" credit couseling and/or debt consolidation loan companies have been investigated by the FTC and the IRS and some have been shut down. Many of them have been found to be FRONTS (founded directly by banks) to move money into for profit corporations.
Ladies and Gentlemen, there is a better way to get rid of debt! Using the Ultimate Debt Guide you can get out of debt much much faster and more efficient! This system will help you legally eliminate debt and improve your credit almost overnight! Here is just a small taste of what you'll learn with this groundbreaking system:

November 2015 - 7 Night Bahamas & Florida (New York Roundtrip) Cruise on Norwegian Breakaway
Never again on Norwegian
This was my 6th cruise but 1st on Norwegian. Never again will we cruise on Norwegian. The ship was large enough to hold over 5,000 people but not large enough to entertain that amount of people. We were herded like cattle in the terminal and then put on the ship to eat without enough room to sit and eat the food. There was always chaos in the buffet every meal because lines were forming at each end of the food station. Norwegian touts "freestyle cruising" but it is far from freestyle. The theater is on one floor and holds about three hundred people. I have to point out the chairs were the most uncomfortable chairs I have ever sat in. Cushions were worn out and if you sat up straight in chair, you were sitting on a metal bar across the back of the seat. Remember, there are over 4000 guests so you must make reservations for all of the shows. The other 3600 people are trying to watch the entertainment in the two story atrium which definitely does not have enough chairs or room. People are leaning on the backs of the chairs you're sitting in, standing so close their clothes are brushing your face, or standing in front of you so you can't see. We were unable to get off the ship in Great Stirrup Cay due to winds so everyone was at the one and only free pool on the ship. To get a drink at the one bar that was open, you had to wait in line for over an hour. There are about 25 chairs, maybe less, that are actually in the sun around the pool. All other chairs are under the cover of the floor above. To actually get a chair in the sun, we had to go two floors above the pool. The stateroom hallways are very narrow. Two people cannot pass each other and there are always cleaning carts in the hall all through the ship. You are constantly ducking into alcoves to allow someone to pass. There were too many restaurants and other services that required a fee in order to participate. There were too many kids and it was rumored that we saw so many of them because they could not accommodate them in the kid section. Staff in the restaurants did not understand the English language well and were very soft spoken making it difficult to communicate. The floor in the pool area is wet all the time and is very slippery. You must walk through this area to get to the buffet so you must be very careful. There was no consistency in how drinks were made. Each bartender makes drinks differently so you might get a Bahama Mama made with rum one time and vodka the next. There were many staff who did not seem to like their jobs including the bus boys in the buffet, the waiters in the Howl at the Moon club, to the Fire and Ice singer. On the last night it was very obvious that she did not want to be there. Last bit of advice, do not let the porters take your luggage to your room. This was the second time a wheel was broke off our luggage. The difference between Carnival and Norwegian was that Carnival told me to get the luggage fixed and submit the bill to them for reimbursement. Norwegian wanted to glue the wheel back on and call it a day. It took three phone calls to finally get a $40 credit to my account.

Watching my daughter gathering her things (Duplos, Lincoln Logs, piles of dried grass, crumpled paper, tiny dishes and most of her clothes) into a basket which will soon be dumped onto the living room rug I begin to feel a familiar tension rising in me.
I love that I get to be home with my daughter, but sometimes I am exhausted trying to keep her engaged while keeping our house and family functioning. I have always wanted a large family but at moments like these I wonder if perhaps God knew I would absolutely loose it if I had to manage more than one kid at a time.
I've been comforted by the words of several friends who have 4 or 5.
"Sometimes having just one is the hardest, they keep you busy because they want all your attention, with multiples they entertain each other."
I can't even describe how affirming those comments have been.
So right now in our reading group we are reading The Hidden Art of Homemaking. In it Schaeffer reminds us that our homes are places to express ourselves and to be creative. They are places for family and guests to connect and grow. And while being home all day alone with a three year old can bring anyone to the verge of insanity it is also an opportunity to create special moments together and to take tiny steps towards raising her to live life in its fullest now and as she grows.
Now I recognize that there are many who have years of experience on me as a parent, and honestly I have no room to give advice. But at the same time the thing about an only child is you only get one chance, you either have just one, or you end up with more kids and the dynamic changes. So no one really can be much of an expert here. Take it or leave it, here are a few pieces of wisdom that I have learned in these three short years.
Six Tips for Raising an Only Child and Staying Sane
1. Bring them into your world. This has been key for us. We noticed while working in Mexico that children were quieter and more respectful around adults. Of course the Mexican families we knew loved their kids, but their children weren't the center of their world. Their children had an important place in their home but the home did not revolve around them.
So this has been our approach.
I aim to bring my daughter into what I'm doing. I'm always willing to let her help me cook or clean or garden (of course what she has to offer isn't always "helpful" but I still let her participate, the mess I think is worth it). If I have to do sit down work like writing a letter or paying a bill I let her color or write, do stamps or play dough at the table with me.
I don't spend a lot of time "playing" with her. But when I do, I make it count. I usually stop a couple times a day for 10 minutes or so to sit down and play whatever game she wants. When I do, I give her all my attention, my phone is put away (for the most part I leave my computer put away unless she is napping or unless I am like 10 minutes from being done with a blog post when she wakes up) and we don't have TV. So I play with enthusiasm and I have a blast. Something that I just couldn't do if our play time had no end in sight.
It may sound a bit harsh but having once been swept into an hour long game of My Little Ponies I learned my lesson.
2. Be creative. Find things that you actually enjoy doing together. Sometimes I let her pick out a project like making a new diaper for her doll. Or I'll see a recipe for homemade play dough and want to try it out. For us this looks like a lot of arts and crafts as well as some nature hikes but for you it might be sports or manicures or collecting rocks or woodworking or taking care of animals or whatever you are into. If you work at it you can almost always find a way to do something enjoyable, and even productive, together.
3. Get a routine. I'm not naturally organized but since having a kid I've realized that establishing a weekly and daily routine is a game changer for us. I found that my daughter functions better and has more fun when she knows what to expect.
A weekly routine my be as simple as: Monday we go to the grocery store, Tuesday we do laundry, Wednesday we have a play date, Thursday we go the park and Friday we do family music night. You probably already have one. Make a point to explain it to your kid and help them feel a part of what is going on.
You probably have a daily routine too. Ours goes something like: get up have tea and prayer time, then get dressed, have breakfast and do some reading over the table, then we either go out or start on some project in the house. Lunch is at 12:00, rest time at 1. We have dinner at 6 then bath and bed. Of course it changes if we have company are out of the house. But keeping the structure of things the same keeps us all on the same page.
4. Know when to break the routine. Sometimes a rough day needs an extra trip to the park or a "let's drop everything and go get an ice cream cone".
5. Don't be afraid of a little boredom. There will be moments when you have to make a call or wait in line and your kid will start to complain. Don't feel like you need to whip out an iPhone or DVD player (do people still use those?). Boredom stimulates imagination and observation. Your job isn't to keep your kid entertained don't feel guilty about it.
4. Take a rest time. Even if your child refuses to sleep keep the rest time in your schedule. Even without napping we all have a better day if we have an hour alone to wind down and re-collect. I've recently begun letting my daughter listen to music because she hardly ever naps anymore. I put on a CD that is at least one hour long. She has to stay in her room until it is over, if she falls asleep great, if not, at least we both had a relaxing hour to ourselves.
5. Get out of the house. I'm a homebody. But my daughter has energy to burn. While we do end up spending one day a week entirely at home, I try to at least add in a walk to the mailbox or an outdoor activity. Most other days we run an errand and usually stop by a play ground or the library. Even a 10 minute stop off at the swings can feel exciting to a 3 year old. Better yet is a play date, even better is a regular play date or something like library story time. Try to fit a couple activities into your weekly routine that gets you out and that gives you both a social outlet.
6. Give yourself a break. Sometimes, especially for me, as a mom of one who had expected to be a mom of a larger family, I feel the need to relish the time with my daughter. I always imagined I'd have a decade or so with a pre-schooler around, but time is flying by and I don't want to miss a moment with my one and only precious kid.
But that time is just as precious for her and her dad or other family. And it is important for her to make friends of her own. And sometimes I really need along time, or my husband and I need time together. I need to keep reminding myself that it is good for my daughter to have parents with friends and interests and it is good for her to have other people in her life who she knows and trusts.
Parenting is hard.
But no one cares more about parenting our kids than we do, hard or not, we are the best people to guide and shape our little ones through life.
Now to clean up that pile on the living room rug.

I have been doing quite a bit of crafting lately but am getting to the point where I need to get some projects finished. Other things seem to get in the way.
I have also started to learn to knit about a month ago and it is going surprisingly well. I have tried to learn to knit before and never got very far, but I decided this time I will make sure I learn. This has been taking up most of my time, but I am pleased with my progress.
I picked it up quite quickly and am able to do alot more than I remember. So far I have knitted two practise squares and I am now knitting a cardigan. I have done the back and one front section, and currently working on the other front section, I would love to get this finished by Christmas to show my mum what I have made.
I am getting quite a bit of knitting done on my lunch breaks at work and have been doing it when watching films or TV, it is a bit easier to do than sewing or quilting when watching with someone else.
I have lots of ideas for projects and things I want to do, so have set myself a target to get my UFOs completed before starting any other projects.
Quilt - This is a work in progress for a Christmas present. needs to be done by Christmas. This should be ok, as I just have to cut the wadding and backing, quilt and bind it. DONE
Knitting - Cardigan for myself. Aim to complete by Christmas, or finish it over the Christmas time so mum can help me stitch it all up.
Cross stitch wall hanging- Not much to go on this, one image and then the boarder, I might need some more stranded cotton though. I want to have this finished by end of January. DONE
Liberty cushion - I have the back of the cushion to complete. I have hand paper pieced small stars, which seemed like a good idea but now I'm not sure how to join them at the moment. End of January.
1 Christmas present - I have not decided on this yet, but will possibly be a patchwork cushion. Will be finished by Christmas.
Quite a few things to fit in as I work full time and doing overtime most nights until Christmas so I mainly have the weekends. The quilt and the present are my priorities to complete.
I want to get these projects completed so that I can move on in new year and start to work on my projects more regularly.

Last week, the Steelers parted ways with offensive line coach Larry Zierlein.
On Wednesday, they hired his replacement.
According to Jason La Canfora of NFL.com, the Steelers have agreed to terms with Sean Kugler.
Kugler was fired last week by the Bills after two years on the job. He previously spent the 2006 season at Boise State, and he worked from 2001 through 2005 as part of the Matt Millen regime in Detroit.
So, basically, Steelers fans are gonna love this decision.

One triangle piece is done with the stitching, but there may have been a better way. I used #3 perle cotton and a running stitch and it looks the way I expected it to, so there's that. It was very hard to get the needle through, even using one that was plenty large enough for the size of the thread. My fingers are very sore! However, with the dark color on the dark background, it's a bit hard to see.
If I had couched the thread down, there would have been a solid line of thread and perhaps that would have shown up more. Did not want anything blatant, though, so I'm okay with it as is.
And now I will be adding beads…yummmmm! I think the title of it came to me while I was selecting them…The Sunny Side of the Mountain.
Not certain exactly where or in what pattern I will be applying these beads, but the bright colors seem just right. It seems as though it's been just about forever since I've done any beading and I'm excited to get at it again!

T-Mobile made a splash on March 26 with the announcement that not only will it start selling the iPhone in April, but also that it's launching a new plan and pricing scheme designed to cut down on the total cost of mobile phone ownership and reduce the impact onerous mobile terms might be having on the average smartphone owner.
It was a major step in the right direction and one that at least got customers talking.
Whether those customers will make the jump to T-Mobile, however, remains to be seen.
The company is, after all, the smallest of the four largest carriers in the United States and over the past few years it has watched companies such as Verizon and AT&T charge by to lead the mobile-carrier market.
Further reading
It won't be easy for T-Mobile to climb back into serious competition with these two giants. But these latest welcome moves might help T-Mobile draw closer to the leader. T-Mobile, in other words, might have just become a worthy carrier choice.
But would choosing T-Mobile over another carrier actually make sense? You bet.
Here is why the time might be right for mobile phone users to consider dropping their current mobile carrier for T-Mobile:
1. A solid device lineup
Although most folks focus on Verizon and AT&T when they're looking at devices and services plans, T-Mobile is no slouch. The company will start selling the iPhone in April and it also offers the Samsung Galaxy S3. Several other Android-based smartphones are also available to its customers. T-Mobile's smartphones are worth considering.
2. Root for the underdog
It's always fun to root for the underdog, isn't it? There was a time last year when it looked like T-Mobile would disappear from the market after a buyout offer from AT&T. But when that deal fell through, T-Mobile had a new life. Now, T-Mobile is trying to stage one of the most impressive comebacks the mobile industry has seen. It's an inspiring story. There are some romantics among us that like the idea of supporting the underdog and stop relying on the big, baleful competition.
3. The 4G LTE is ramping up
One of the reasons many people didn't switch to T-Mobile was its lack of a 4G LTE service. However, the company is now ramping it up very quickly. T-Mobile estimates that its network will cover more than 100 million potential customers by the middle of the year and 200 million by the end of 2013. If it achieves its 2013 goals, expect T-Mobile's 4G LTE network to be just as widespread as those of its competitors.
4. Customer service is quite good
T-Mobile actually performs quite well in studies on customer service. Granted, regional carriers, such as MetroPCS, tend to do better, but for a major provider, T-Mobile isn't so bad. Since it's close to completing its MetroPCS acquisition, it might not be long before its customer service improves.

Today marks the final day of league play — and season for some — for local prep basketball teams. And what happens on the court tonight will determine plenty.
A league championship in the boys' Sunset, Golden West and Academy races is still up for grabs, as are crowns in both the girls' Golden West and Academy leagues. CIF playoff berths also are on the line for several schools.
Boys' Basketball
Brethren Christian: The Warriors maintained a piece of the Academy League lead Tuesday by whipping visiting Whitney, 59-32, on Senior Night at Liberty Christian School in Huntington Beach. Senior Daniel Healy led BC with 15 points, eight rebounds, six assists, five steals and two blocks. Seniors Bobby Frisch and Alex Debardalaben both had 13 rebounds and Junior Jazwan Hill had 12 points, three assists and three steals.
BC is 23-2 and 8-1 in league heading into tonight's 7:30 finale against host Sage Hill. A win would give the Warriors no worse than a share of the league title. St. Margaret's, also 8-1 in league, needs a win against Crean Lutheran South tonight to also claim no worse than a share of the title.

"…functional programming terminology is perhaps slightly less than optimal for novice understanding. That is the case with monad terminology."
What did we read about?
This was our fourteenth week of 'Functional Programming for the Object-Oriented Programmer' by Brian Manick.
We start from Page 132 at the start of section 10.6 Monads as Data-Driven Extended Continuation-Passing Style. Finish at Page 141 at the end of section 10.9 Exercises
We continue looking at monads and delve into them further. We work on a simplified version of the truth and gradually form a concrete appreciation of the complexity and power of monads!
What stood out?
- Page 139 – 10.8 Cond is all about "a multi-way" if, appearing much like a switch statement.
- The exercise at the end of our reading is amusing and gives us our first chance in writing our own monad!
If you read nothing else this week…
- Page 133 – "The lie" gives you a working understanding of monads, which is absolutely critical.

|Lost Weekend Fear And Innocence
|Escape Music
British melodic rockers Lost Weekend have bounced around labels over the years and now find themselves with another new home in Escape Music.
What Escape have managed to do that the other labels haven't, is provide the band with a great producer/mixer in Martin Kronlund in Sweden. This is the band's 5th album and easily their best sounding to date.
This album has more punch and a clearer sound than any album before it and the mix is perfectly balanced. You'd expect no less from Kronlund.
The band has their own melodic rock style that has drifted over the years and here things change a little again. In fact, as they turn to a heavier direction, I think is the sound they should adopt permanently as it suits them very well.
What I hear on Fear And Innocence is a sound closer to the likes of Gary Barden/MSG/Deep Purple. In fact, so strong is the Gary Barden influence, I had to check the writing credits for his input. But noàit's all down to the band's principle songwriters Dave Thompson and Paul Utterly.
I like the blues based rock of this record. It is heavier than past efforts, but still very much melodic and the production matches the tougher approach.
The songs themselves aren't the type of anthemic rockers that are of instant appeal, but more straight forward mid-tempo rockers that grow on you after several spins.
Highlights to these ears include the excellent ballad Father And Son; the traditional rock of Back Street Living; the punchy Life With The Lid Taken Off and the double time stomper Another Lonely Night In Tears. The moody Only The Strong Survive is also worth a mention.

Our 30 Marketing Superstars range in age from 29 to 57. They handle ad budgets of every size imaginable, from a creativity-stretching few hundred thousand dollars to Microsoft's $200 million worldwide blitz for Windows 95. Five are women, an increase over earlier years, but we'd like to see more.
Some of our Superstars have virtually created new product categories. Bass Beers' Jonathan Turner is aggressively marketing Hooper's Hooch, an alcohol and fruit drink blend considered an "alcopop," a word that didn't exist just a few years ago. Boris Buvinic at Bank of Santiago was one of the first marketers in Latin America to venture into co-branded affinity credit cards, an idea quickly copied by others.
Choosing was hard. Practically every country had one or more wildly successful mobile phone marketer, probably the hottest global product category right now. We looked for new ideas, selecting Mango, an Israeli mobile phone parents buy for their kids, and NTT's Personal Handy System, a cheaper, low-tech version of a mobile phone that has taken off in Japan.
For the first time we had candidates from Internet access providers, reflecting the Internet's huge leap in popularity over the past year. In many countries, however, demand is so great from people desperate to get on the Internet that signing them up may not be a true test of marketing skills-yet. Other products, like a nonalcoholic Israeli black beer called Black & Wild and a canned bread from Japan, were fascinating but show no signs of crossing borders.
We couldn't ignore the Gucci renaissance masterminded by Domenico De Sole. But there wasn't space to include Miuccia Prada and the other Italian luxury goods marketers who also are experiencing sensational international growth through new products and creative marketing.
Food is often considered to be more local than global, but almost half of our Superstars are focused on food (if vitamins and chewing gum count). Who wouldn't be interested in universal ideas like a cholesterol-lowering margarine developed in Finland or illycafe's Easy Serving Espresso?
More international ideas seem to come from London and Paris than anywhere else. London is often an early market for products that will cross Europe and other continents, while Paris is a key international center for beauty trends.
What was the biggest problem faced by our Marketing Superstars? In country after country, Ad Age International correspondents were told, "We just couldn't keep up with demand. We could have sold more." In any case, these individuals should have planned for stardom as well.

(AP) — The fight over the names of historic hotels and other beloved landmarks at Yosemite National Park is escalating.
The Sacramento Bee reports that the National Park service has asked a federal trademark board to cancel trademarks obtained by the company that previously ran the park's hotels, restaurants and outdoor activities. Those trademarks include the name, "The Ahwahnee," which was used on a luxurious stone and timber hotel with stunning views of the park's fabled granite peaks.
The park's previous concession company, Delaware North, is demanding the park service pay it $51 million for the names and other intellectual property and has filed a lawsuit in federal court. Its attorneys are asking the trademark board not to take any action until the lawsuit is resolved.

Your visit to Lavendula sounds and looks idyllic and I would love to sit in the shade under the verandah or have lunch in the cafe there. Lavender is a favourite plant and I try to grow a few different kinds. I just hope all the wet weather we had last year hasn't killed them. Your latest journal outdoes all the previous ones. I don't know how you manage to excel yourself with each new one you make. They are stunning.

It certainly seemed like the right thing to do at the time: After Spitzer's sexcapades, Governor David Paterson set a relaxed new tone in Albany, immediately airing his extramarital dirty laundry, wife at his side. But then the admissions just wouldn't end. All Paterson's preemptions (and various subsequent versions) have now led to a candor gap, says one Democratic operative allied with Spitzer. Rarely have we seen someone with so much goodwill burn through it so quickly. It's not the sex. It's the way they have taken a ten-minute story and turned it into a four-day story, and who knows how much longer by dissembling and prevaricating. All this could be good news for Mike Bloomberg, though: Paterson's former district hasn't been sympathetic to the mayor's congestion pricing planmany fear Harlem will become a commuter parking lotbut with his first rough week, Paterson could use friends. He needs an ally in the mayor, says one source close to Bloomberg. The mayor has a 75 percent approval rating, he's popular, and the mayor also has a long memory. If we don't get CPcongestion pricingthe mayor will not be happy, personally. It didn't take long for Paterson to come around on the issue: late last Friday afternoon, he changed his mind and agreed to support Bloomberg's plan.
Why Paterson Better Like Mike
Can congestion pricing get the new gov back on track?

You are viewing an Email identified as a Scam, It has the Subject "VERY URGENT ATTENTION." and it was received in one of Scamdex's honeypot email accounts on Sat, 11 Aug 2007 08:04:04 -0700 and has been classified as a Advance Fee Fraud/419 Scam. The sender was mr zongo <email@example.com>, although that address was probably spoofed. It is recommended that you do not attempt to contact any persons or organizations referenced in this email, as you will expose yourself to scammers and, at the very least, you will be added to their email address lists for spam purposes.
Pleasure writing to you at this moment of the day, I am Mr.ALI ZONGO.
the director incharge of auditing and accounting Dept. of Bank of Africa OUAGADOUGOU -BURKINA FASO.I deem it fit to contact you regarding an inactive/dormant account fund that will benefit both of us at the end, if parties involved will take restrait and maintain absolute secrecy, honesty and integrity. I got your contact in my search for a reputable and reliable person to particularly assist me to claim the fund in question. During auditing, in our bank at the end of last fiscal year, We discovered the sum of Twenty five millions United States dollars (US$25M) in a dormant account belonging to an international businessman who was involved in the December 25th Benin plane crash. while travelling for his bussiness. I kept this information(secret) confidential within my jurisdiction to enable us submit claims and transfer this fund through trustworthy person whom we shall present to our bank as the bonafide next of kin to the ceased. Visit our investigations so far clearly reveals that there is no immediate survivor or even a relation to the deceased and as such, there is no immediate next of kin for further claims of the deceased fund as we have long been expecting someone to come forward with an applications. Further information's /verifications from reliable sources too have confirmed that the deceased customer supposed next of kin were all in the plane with him died with him.this is where the bank come in to do bussiness with who ever is interested.
Plane Crash Web site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This fund is now ready for transfer into a foreign account, whose owner will be portrayed to our bank as the beneficiary and a next of kin to the deceased customer. The foreign account owner will impost himself appropriately as the next of kin to the deceased and respond positively like a true next of kin who wishes to speed up the release and transfer process of his inherited fund. Kindly be aware too that if the over-due fund if not claimed by the end of next quarter, the National Treasury and Bills of britain will take over the ownership of the fund in line with the National Edict Act of 2000. We do not want this to happen as it will not augur to our best interest, having worked all our lives in the banking sector, that is why I contacted you for us to do the deal together with absolute confidence, so that you will be portrayed as the bonafide beneficiary and an immediate next of kin to the deceased. I will give you further directives, advice and all needed information's required for this transaction as soon as I receive your positive response. Similarly, if you accept to carry out this transaction with us, we have resolved offering to you 30% of the total sum as commission, extra 10% of all proceeds to be generated from subsequent profit-viable. 5% of the total fund will be set aside to re-imburse all expenses incurred in this course of this transaction. This transfer will automatically be affected within 7 working days. Be rest assured that with the underground work i have laid so far, that this transaction carries no risk and no extra burdens on your part, except the above mentioned nominal roles you are required to fulfil and similarly will be required to maintain absolute information secrecy throughout the duration of this transaction, because discussing and exhibiting it with a third party might jeopardise the entire transaction.
I will give you directives and all needed information as soon as I receive your positive response. Kindly understand that we could not carry out this fund-transfer on our own, based on the simple facts that we are civil servants and presently bank staffs and this office excludes us from operating foreign accounts, moreover conducting such magnanimous transaction from the same place where we belong to/coming from will raise eyebrows on our side and the truth is that this fund belongs to a foreigner, and as such demands same as next of kin.I am looking forward to receiving your interesting response on this project as this will greatly enrich the both of us at the end. please you are required to reply this message as a matter of necessity.
Best regards,(Account Audithor B.O.A)

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Mikhail Kalashnikov, the designer of the AK-47 rifle, wrote a letter to the Russian Orthodox Church before his death expressing concern that the weapon had killed so many people, Izvestia newspaper reported.
"My spiritual pain is unbearable," he wrote in the letter to the head of the Church, Patriarch Kirill.
"One question keeps repeating itself; as my assault rifle killed so many people, does that mean that I, Mikhail Kalashnikov ... an Orthodox Christian, am responsible for people's deaths, even if they were enemies?"
A spokesman for the Church confirmed to Izvestia that it had received the letter and that it had been written about six months before Kalashnikov's death on December 23. Its authenticity could not, however, be confirmed independently.
Kalashnikov, who was 94 when he died, said many times that he was proud of his invention but also regretted it was used by criminals and child soldiers.
The AK-47, which is cheap to produce and easy to maintain, has killed more people than any other firearm.
Kalashnikov said in 2009 that the rifle, which he created in 1947, had been intended mainly to defend his country's borders.

Canadians Can Be Proud
Click here to read the whole thing titled -
"Soldiers, Not Peacekeepers".
It covers the dangers they are facing every day as part of the coalition fighting Taliban and al-Qaeda insurgents and the soldiers' professional efforts to do their job well. The piece offers a window into the uncertain deliberation Canada has had with itself with regard to a militaristic role in world affairs. The strong picture of the soldiers contrasts with the reticent rhetoric of political liberals who'd rather refer to them as peacekeepers, relegating them to aid missions and blue helmets.
This article seems to have been written before the recent election of PM Stephen Harper because it did not address the direction Canadian defense is likely to take under his leadership.
I am encouraged by what I have seen so far from Mr. Harper. I have wanted for some time to see a Conservative leader in Canada as have many other US conservatives. For too long we felt that a French Canadian socialist elitism muddied the relationship that should be enjoyed between our two countries. We are each other's largest trading partners and we should be allied closely when it comes to world affairs. I believe Canada can have a bigger seat at the table if it wants to - they have just lacked good leadership.
As this article points out, the leftist view of the military is that it should only be used for peacekeeping.
I am reminded of the Scripture that says, "They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. 'Peace, peace,' they say, when there is no peace." (Jeremiah 6:14)
We must continue to realize that we are at war and this is not just the "United States' War on Terror" as some people like to put it in quotes. It is an ideological and cultural struggle. I believe we are just beginning to see an awakening in other Western countries and I hope that Canada prepares itself to stay the course.
PM Harper's recent visit to Afghanistan was a real encouragement to me. His emphatic statement that Canada would not "cut and run" reflected a boldness not seen in his predecessors. I was again encouraged when he phoned the president of Afghanistan this past week on behalf of the Abdul Rahman, who faced trial and execution for his Christian faith.
Following Harper's Afghan visit, I read a comment after a post on the Canadian Sentinel blog where someone wrote "It's morning again!" in Canada. I'll repeat here what I wrote in response:
"Morning again" indeed. I hope this is the beginning of a new resurgent Canadian strength. The West will only be stronger with Canada at its side and its weapons at the ready. The West must be united in this fight. We have so much in common and too much to lose if we are not in it together. May patriots and free men fight together for the protection of our homelands and the freedom of others.

Hi CP. As you are, I'm happy with this new turn in our long term partenership with our americans friends. Fo too long, our political masters sent a strange message to our southern friends.
I served many times with the americans and I'm happy that finally, we seem's to be back on course.

We're definitely back on course, Franck.
The Canada-US relationship is as important and valued as ever. We're really the same people. Some Canucks are afraid of having a closer relationship with America due to the false propaganda which has been wrought by the former (and still in place, unfortunately) Liberal state apparatus which the former PMs used to their advantage to control and mold the federation however they saw fit, regardless of what the people wanted or what was right. Liberals want power and money and have demonstrated that they'll do whatever it takes to get and keep it all.
Thank goodness enough Canucks saw what was happening just in time to avert possible unity crises which were growing rapidly under Liberal rule. Whew! I hope more Canadians come to see the light and give Mr. Harper as much time as he needs to make Canada great, secure and prosperous again.

15 Great Alternatives to Halloween Candy
The leaves are changing, the temperatures are dropping, and we have flipped our calendars to October. That means that Halloween is right around the corner! I have never been big fan of Halloween, but, as a parent, it is hard to escape.
I certainly want my kids to have fun trick or treating, but I have three and the last thing we need is three giant pumpkins full of candy, sugar, and future trips to the dentist! In my search for alternatives to all the candy, I have found lists and lists of other things to give trick or treaters, but some of the things included are most definitely NOT o.k. with parents.
For example, whistles. Really? You plan to give children who are already excited and hopped up on sugar objects with which they can make loud, high pitched noises?!? Please, no! Another bad idea is the plastic spider rings. I get that they are cheap and easy, but the reality is that, even if my little princesses would wear them (which they will not), within an hour they will just be fodder for my vacuum cleaner. (Or, give me a heart attack when I happen across one carelessly dropped in a corner somewhere.)
To alleviate these concerns, here are 15 good, parent-approved alternatives you can hand out on Halloween that won't have parents strategizing tricks to play on you as revenge!

Welcome Autumn
Hello. Kate here today and I am sharing a card with our new Hayride stamp set. My background is patterned paper under a layer of torn and gessoed book paper. I tore a piece of cardstock and stamped my main image from Hayride. I made a mask of the girl image, layered it over the stamped image and stamped my script and vines over top. After stamping my sentiment I matted it. Thank you for dropping by.

3 Healthy Coping Options
Having worked in crisis intervention for over 30 years, I can assure you that no matter how simple or convoluted the problem is, we are managing by using one of three coping mechanisms.
- Adaptation and blending into the situation is a common option for people who fear conflict. Depending on the person's resources, this may be the right one for now. When we decide to let things cool down, we are in this mode. It is generally not meant to be used as a permanent solution. At some point, to protect our well-being we need to move to:
- Changing the situation. We can do this by changing something such as reframing our perceptions or altering our behaviors. We can also force a change in the environment by introducing an outside consequence. If we are brainwashing ourselves to believe that "this is OK", we are not changing our mindset as much as accepting the other's behavior which puts us in the preceding option. To be in a change state, we are adjusting ourselves or influencing changes outside of ourselves. At some point, to protect our physical and mental wellness, we may need to:
- Leave the situation. This happens when people realize that the situation cannot change and it has become unacceptable or physically or emotionally dangerous to remain. Some people need assistance seeing that this is a possible choice but the decision is always theirs.
All three have their place, all three can be appropriate or inappropriate to use. From time to time, we need to be reviewing if this is still the right coping skill for the situation or if we are ready to experiment with something else. Things can change quickly so taking stock regularly is a valuable and important habit.
Every situation is different. What every person desires and needs is also different. Only the person facing the situation can discern this for themselves. When someone is feeling a little overwhelmed, knowing these options can help them take action or consciously feel good about where they are right now.
As a counsellor, my clients appreciated when I would clarify what their options were in a difficult situation. Educating people on the three options is easy. Deciding whether it is the right place to be and what to do differently might need education, other resources and support.
So here is an infographic for you breaking down the three healthy coping options when facing a difficult person and the one that is purely delusional.

Declan, proudly informed me that he is "wearing khakis" and for Christmas would like a "whacker." My sister explained that he is very enthusiastic about the sound of the word "khaki" and likes to announce his choice in clothing–even to strangers–if doing so offers him an opportunity to say it. A "whacker" is apparently his own term for a spatula, which he routinely uses to march around the house and thwack furniture.
Recently, when I was out to lunch with my three-year-old niece, Maggie, I tried to teach her how to say the world "quesadilla." With an eye roll, she stated, "My mouth isn't big enough to say that word."
This year, I am thankful for all the little kids in my life, and for the laughs they bring me. I am also profoundly grateful not only for the readers who take the time to read my work, but for the time I've been able to spend working on new stories. Time really is a blessing, I'm realizing increasingly as I get older. Prioritizing ways to spend it isn't much fun because there are never enough hours to get everything accomplished. For this reason, it means so very much to me every single time a reader downloads one of my books and invests a few hours going on a journey with me.
Thanks, guys. I hope you're all enjoying peaceful and memorable days with your loved ones today, even if you're not in the U.S!

It is your right to be rich. You are here to lead the abundant life, and to be happy, radiant, and free. You should, therefore, have all the money you need to lead a full, happy, prosperous life.
There is no virtue in poverty; the latter is a mental disease, and it should be abolished from the face of the earth. You are here to grow, expand, and unfold – spiritually, mentally, and materially.

Acquiring wealth is not selfish; it enables us to expand and grow spiritually, mentally, socially and intellectually. Dr. Murphy teaches us his four-step master key to wealth. By following this plan, a salesman quintupled his income, a minister funded the rebuilding the church of what had been an impoverished congregation, and it helped many people rise from dire poverty to riches.

Car won't start?
Hi all. So I have a 2001 alero, Sunday night I
changed my battery. I had to buy a brand
new one. Well Monday morning my car
started up but later that afternoon when
leaving my job my car just wouldn't start. My
sister came to jump it no start, eventually
had to tow it home. My service engine soon
light is now on also. What could my problem
2 Answers
Make sure battery has a full charge. If it cranks good but, won't start, have a helper crank it while you visually check for spark at the plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure, also, check fuel injector pulse. Any applicable trouble codes? To check codes, yourself, at the least, you need an obd2 code reader. Is there a security lamp on the dash that is on or flashing?
The security lamp is flashing

Mnangagwa's visit later this month is upon the invitation of President Ian Khama whose regular spats with Mr Mugabe is well documented.
Diplomatic relations had gone from bad to worse after the straight-talking Khama joined vociferous calls for former President Robert Mugabe to step down following an army insurrection late last year.
The Spokesperson for Botswana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Katlego Letsholo said Mnangagwa's visit will serve to set the stage for improved ties between Gaborone and Harare.
She added that it would also accord the two leaders an opportunity to deliberate on bilateral, regional and international issues of mutual concern.
Mnangagwa's visit will be preceded by the 12th Session of the Botswana -Zimbabwe Joint Permanent Commission on Cooperation (JPCC) from 8th to 11th February 2018.
The JPCC will discuss a wide range of issues with a view to broadening and deepening bilateral cooperation in areas such as trade and investment promotion, energy, control of trans-boundary animal diseases, tourism, education, health, shared water courses, transportation and culture.

A new ecological city in the Tangshan region is being designed, 250 km East of Beijing. About 1-1.5 million people are expected to live in the city in a long term perspective. The project is supported by both Chinese and Swedish government and especially leaders at the ministries and Hebei provincial government. Sweco has performed overall conceptual planning as well as landscape design and building design.
The new EcoCity will have an area of 150 sq km with a first development phase of 30 sq km. The goal of the project is to build a both climate neutral and attractive city, mainly based on a combination and adaptation of Swedish innovative examples on different planning levels.
Caofeidian's Eco-Cycle Model proposes an integrated management of water, energy, waste and materials. The plan strives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, manage fresh water in a sustainable way, and increase recycling / recovery by connecting water, energy and waste systems. Connected closed loop systems for industrial, agricultural and urban areas are also envisioned. A medium and long term economic benefit is expected especially due to the effective resource and energy recovery.
The resources management centre (RMC) is a demonstration area for the Eco-Cycle Model and functions as the 'heart' of Caofeidian's infrastructure, supplying its public utilities through various treatment plants.
The EcoCity has a compact and varied mixed-use structure. Different city structures are interwoven to create an inspiring whole. The urban nodes serve as centres for the city-districts and should be given distinct urban profiles such as innovation, trade, science and sports. The structure supports the development of sustainable transportation modes with priority for walking, bicycling and public transportation. The green and blue structure is an integral part of the public space.
Density varies across the Eco-City, with a certain degree of compactness as an overall feature. Mixed-use is a major feature, and is expressed as a combination of housing, workplaces and services.

Follow these seven steps to ensure full compliance under the final regs:
Step 1: Identify arrangements that provide a deferral of compensation. This requires employers to:
- Identify service providers covered by the rules (e.g., staff, independent contractors, board members).
- Identify arrangements that are deferrals of compensation.
Caution: Grandfathered status is lost if the arrangement is materially modified after Oct. 3, 2004.
Step 2: For each arrangement, decide between removing the deferral of compensation feature and complying with the rules. The deadline for making and documenting this decision is Dec. 31, 2007.
Tip: Weigh the benefits of providing deferred compensation against the costs of compliance and exposure to penalties.
Step 3: Design each arrangement to comply with the basic rules (i.e., restrictions on deferral elections, funding and distributions). Decide whether to adopt various special exceptions to the rules, which provide certain advantages but make plan administration more complex.
Step 4: Develop and implement policies and administrative procedures.
Tip: Designate someone to have ultimate responsibility for developing policies and procedures and for ensuring that they are followed.
Step 5: Prepare a written plan by Dec. 31, 2007. Under the final regs, the written plan must specify the terms as of Jan. 1, 2008, but is not required to specify the terms for the period prior to Jan. 1.
Step 6: Obtain service-provider elections as to time and form of payment by Dec. 31, 2007. But be aware that some elections result in noncompliance with the rules. Examples:
- An election in 2007 to postpone a payment that would otherwise be received in 2007.
- An election in 2007 that would cause a payment to be made in 2007 that would otherwise not be made in 2007.
Tip: Review the plan operations to determine whether violations have occurred and take appropriate actions.

"Oh no...Loose rock" Reed shouted.
"Jared, quickly move out the way...move quick to your right, there is a giant loose block that's about to blow."
I nervously looked up and saw Reed stemmed across the dihedral with his chest pressing and holding a television sized rock.
I anxiously shifted five feet to the right, which was as much as my tether would allow.
"Its slipping" Reed says. "Are you clear?" "I'm going to let it go."
Reed opened up his body and a giant rock came plummeting down. It crushed atop the ledge where I had just been standing. It shattered into several pieces and thundered down the gully.
I wiped the sweat form my forehead and took a deep breath. Once Reed was secured, I continued climbing.
We were high up in the Sierras on a route called Venusian Blind. It was a long route and the guidebook had recommend a full day, but for our skill level and experience we thought we could cruise it. We had strayed off route and were in some challenging and loose terrain, where a single slip could or miscalculation could lead to serious consequences.
It is crazy how a single event could alter or even end your life. I think back on so many close calls that I have had in my life and think what would have happened if something went wrong.
1. Slipping on a thin icy ridge on Mount Baldy and sliding into the only patch of snow before a drop off.
2. Being the passenger in a car going 55mph that flipped three times and landed into oncoming traffic
3. Getting off route and having to down climb slabs while free soloing Tenya Peak
4. Free climbing a difficult loose pitch on Mount Watkins in Yosemite with 20 pounds of aid gear on my waist and placing only one camalot
5. Climbing dangerous avalanche prone mountains in the Cordillera Blanca in Peru
6. Soloing an 18,800 foot glaciated peak
7. Penduluming on a rope on Spaceshot that became frayed from the friction and impact.
8. Rope jumping 100 feet off the Monkey Face in Smith Rock
9. Sky diving over the swiss alps and Bungee jumping off the Bridge to Nowhere
The list goes on...
You wonder if you have nine lives. If you are invincible. Or if you are just getting lucky. And there is a stage when you have to be realistic and realize that you are playing a numbers game. You ask yourself if it is only a matter of time until you have a true accident.
Climbing has taken a lot away from me. It has stolen time, crushed relationships and taken friends from this earth. Although climbing has taken from me, it has also given so much back. It has filled my life with passion, taught me valuable lessons and has fostered amazing connections with people, the mountains and myself. It has taught me the power of living in the moment and I wouldn't trade the experience for anything in the world.
I topped out Venusian Blind with Reed, snapped a photo and began our descent down the back side. It was one of those rare times that I was fully present. I wasn't thinking about pressures from work or stresses from life. All I knew was that when it came down to it; the moment was all that I had.
I looked at the beautiful sky with the sun setting on the summer solstice and the deep blue lakes that contrasted color against the towering granite cliffs. I curled up in my sleeping bag stared into the stars and thought how lucky I am to be on this earth.

Miscellaneous comments: This was just a wonderful read-a-thon experience. I don't know exactly why it felt right to try this again this time around, but it did. And I'm so glad I did! It felt like a celebration of the sort Dewey set out to make it again. And it was so wonderful to see her remembered and appreciated again by those who knew her. There will never be a day when I don't miss Dewey! And in that, I know I'm not alone. Love you, Dewey!
And many, many thanks to those who worked so hard to bring everyone the joy that is Dewey's Read-a-Thon. I hope you know how very appreciated you are!

Welcome! Need support, you got it. Or share you ideas and experiences.
In Reply to: Safety Training posted by CaptTony on February 23, 2001 at 10:16:52:
Nice question, CaptTony. Hope my experience is a bit unique and holds a warning for all boat rats. About four years ago while looking for a little lifestyle nudge and thinking of getting a full time live-aboard power boat (an uncommon notion here in Upper Idaho) I took the local Auxiliary boat safety class. Much of my experience was sailing and I knew these folks were power-exclusive. I met a gal in the class who shortly became the Significant Other. We merged our too much stuff and the dream changed to a cabin in the country.
After a few months the gross error of the merger bubbled to the surface; it took another year to undo the thing, and to no one's credit or reward. Anyhow, I blame it on the class, and it takes no great hindsight to see the live-aboard would have been a wiser choice for a lifestyle change.
Oh, about the boat safety class. It was taught from the book view and particular interest of folks who all represented the deep-vee stern drive experience. Naturally, weather, radio, cold water, etc. don't care what your boat, so there was something for all to learn. Tho the textbook was freshly revised at that time, it still held information gaps and technological lags. At the very least, the class provided a subject of interest and thought for nine? weeks in a really long winter. The end skill and range of the teaching and class may well depend on your local Power Squadron or Auxiliary Squadron.

South West fisher enjoy large marron catches
A WA fisher has pulled what he calls a "marronasaurus" out of a South West fishing spot during the species annual season.
According to Recfishwest's fact sheet marron can grow up to 38.5 centimetres and weigh up to 2.2 kilograms.
The specimen, caught by Ryan Bradley, stretches lengthways across a carton of Iron Jack beer - and he caught four of similar size all up.
Marron fishing is one of the most popular seasons in WA with 11,366 licenses issued in 2016 alone, and Harvey Dam and Wellington Dam and he most popular spots.
Recfishwest estimates that in 2015 fishers caught 70,000 marron, though research showed more than 100,000 could have been sustainably taken.
To ensure marron numbers stay healthy, the peak body is working with the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development to investigate stocking juvenile marron into WA's recreational dams.
"Staff at the Pemberton Freshwater Research Centre (PFRC) have begun a new captured Marron breeding program," the group said.
"If the captured Marron breeding program is successful, a trial stocking program is planned which will see thousands of tiny "craylings" (juvenile Marron) released into Harvey Dam, a popular recreational Marron fishing location, only one and half hours South of Perth."
Hopefully some of them grow to the size Ryan caught...

VW finally commits to dieselgate fix
It feels like Wolkswagen's emissions scandal happened a million years ago, and not a great deal has happened since then.
Well, at long last, the European Commission say that VW have given a commitment to have all the affected vehicles sorted out, repaired, and everything by autumn 2017.
That'd be cars in the EU, for the record.
Consumer Commissioner Vera Jourová met with Volkswagen's people, and she said: "VW committed to an EU-wide action plan today, which is an important step towards a fair treatment of consumers in the EU."
"I will closely monitor this commitment and continue to work with consumer organisations, authorities and VW."
No news of any compensation for anyone as yet. You'd hope that this issue is one of the things being thrashed out in the current meetings.
1.2 million drivers are affected from the UK, and we've previously asked why UK drivers are not getting compensation like those in the US have.
In The States, VW motorists are looking at getting $10,000 each.
Why should drivers be compensated? For starters, they've been lied to. More practically, they could be looking at a loss of resale value, which will hit them in the pocket.
Inquiries by a number of regulators in Europe are ongoing.

When 63-year-old Phillip Patterson of Philmont, N.Y., first set out to write out every word of the King James Bible by hand, he only wanted to learn more about the text itself.
But four years and 2,400 pages later, he says he's learned a lot about love — and patience.
Patterson, who is living with AIDS, was slowed by health problems over the duration of his project and started over from scratch two years ago. He completed the final two verses before a congregation of 125 people at St. Peter's Presbyterian Church in Spencertown on Saturday.
"Every single curly-q, every single loop, it was all worth it," Patterson told AP after the ceremony. "I'm really going to miss this writing."
He said he intends to donate the completed text to St. Peter's after he finishes binding the manuscript.

« Supreme Court Weighs Arizona Tuition Tax Credits | Main | Justices Weigh Railroad Tax That Aids Alabama Schools »
Challenge to Hawaii School's Restrictive Policies Rejected
A full federal appeals court has declined to rehear a case over a lawsuit challenging a Hawaii private school's policy of serving only native Hawaiian students. The action prompted harsh dissents from judges who said the policy's challengers should be able to proceed in court anonymously.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, in San Francisco, on Monday refused to disturb a panel decision that said the four challengers to the restrictive admissions policy of the Kamehameha Schools could not remain anonymous. Lawyers for the challenger have said the students faced threats for suing over the admission policy.
The panel's March decision is here, and I blogged about it here.
The Kamehameha Schools is a multi-campus private school whose policy of admitting only native Hawaiians has faced numerous lawsuits. Native Hawaiians are defined as those having any ancestry that can be traced to the indigenous population before the first landfall of Westerners in 1778.
Both Chief Judge Alex Kozinski and Judge Stephen R. Reinhardt dissented from the full 9th Circuit's refusal to rehear the case.
"It is entirely unacceptable to ask minors to test the seriousness of the 'undoubtedly severe' threats that have been made against them in order to gain access to the federal legal system," Judge Reinhardt said.
Chief Judge Kozinski cited some of the Internet threats directed at the four non-native Hawaiian challengers, such as "4 kids ... will need 10 bodyguards" and "Sacrifice them!"
"If threats like that were made against me or my family, I'd be worried," Kozinski said. "No litigant should fear for his safety, or that of his family, as a condition of seeking

I tested this by creating a separate get_cabac version for use in decode_cabac_residual with constraints :"=&a"(bit), [range]"+m"(c->range), [low]"+m"(c->low), [bytestream]"+m"(c->bytestream) :[x1]"r"(state) : "%ecx", "%ebx", "%edx", "%esi" and used that on a CABACContext on stack with .low, .range and .bytestream copied. (technically the constraints fail to mention that *state can change, but I suspect gcc would generate worse code if it was an output argument - haven't verified). This sped up timing for decode_cabac_residual from about 4650 dezicycles to 4550. C version with asm disabled sped up more significantly, to 4710. This asm also compiles without -fomit-frame-pointer; disabling asm in the general get_cabac version doesn't seem to hurt performance much (in fact it gave better overall performance in my test) and allows compiling the whole file without -fomit-frame-pointer. I'll post a patch for that later once I clean up the code a bit and include the latest committed cabac.h change.

Evidence is mounting that Amazon intend to enter the tablet market and the newcomer could be the next generation Kindle. Blogkindle.com has speculated on the possibility of a sister LED version of the Kindle or, perhaps, a complete move of the Kindle platform to a new colour LED tablet running Android.
Currently e-ink screens are very slow and don't handle tablet computing functions well. There's no doubt they are make good ereaders, though. There has been talk about the next Kindle having a colour e-ink screen but this would not overcome the speed limitations and would offer no competition to the iPad and the dozens of newcomers set to flood the market.
It makes perfect sense for Amazon to enter the tablet market because they have a strong following and an enviable brand image. I believe we will see a Kindle tablet, probably running Android, but there will still be room for the cheaper, e-ink device to appeal to those who simply want a reading device.
