"Our Veloster Alpine concept reflects the diverse lifestyle versatility we envisioned in the original Veloster concept," said Ted Lee, owner of ARK performance, Inc. "This extreme sports coupe concept will appeal to winter sports enthusiasts who love to carve the snow as much as a twisty canyon road."
For the modified interior JPM Coachworks created an interior with a blend of Alcantara leather and WeatherTek breathable fabric, which were chosen specifically for their durability in wet environments. Combined, these materials offer eye-catching accents within the overall interior theme, while drawing the snow-like exterior color into the cabin, with bright whites and cool shades of blue.
Under the hood, the Veloster concept's 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine has been modified with an ARK Performance DTS exhaust system, K&N intake System, Nitrous Express Proton Kit, ARK Oil Cooler, and BTRcc custom engine bay parts and tuning. The new engine boasts 232 horsepower and 240 lb.-ft. of torque.
The active sports theme carries outside to the exterior with a number of custom accessories appealing to mountain sports enthusiasts.

Latvia's ex-KGB headquarters gives up dark secrets
By Mike Collier ,AFP Saturday, August 9, 2014, 12:01 am TWN
RIGA -- The "House on the Corner" was one of the most feared places in Latvia during Soviet times, but now people are flocking to the former KGB headquarters in the capital Riga, keen to uncover its dark secrets.
As Russia flexes its muscles in its Soviet-era backyard, there is a concerted drive here and in other Baltic states once under Soviet control to counter any attempts by Moscow to whitewash the totalitarian past by exposing its horrors.
Built in 1912, the vast property still retains traces of its original Art Nouveau elegance, but a grimy, weathered exterior lends it an eerie air.
Following the 1940 Soviet takeover, the KGB secret police, or Cheka, set up its headquarters in the building on what is now Freedom Street, but was then called Lenin Street. It was then that locals starting referring to the building using the euphemism "the House on the Corner."
Shuttered up as the KGB was disbanded after Latvia broke free from the crumbling Soviet Union in 1991, it finally reopened its doors to the public this summer with a temporary exhibition as part of Riga's year as a European Capital of Culture.
In a dark hallway, visitors to the house are greeted by a wooden box where paper requests for information about prisoners and denunciations of neighbors and work colleagues were once deposited.
A ground floor exhibition details KGB crimes, while in the basement, cells that once held prisoners have after many years finally been opened to the public.
"The main reaction we get is shock," Aija Abens, one of the guides, told AFP.
"Some people come, then decide not to set foot inside. Some people break down in tears. That's when we realize that they or their relatives must have been held here."
Thousands of Latvians were interrogated and tortured in the building, some of them put to death behind its walls, and Abens is visibly moved as she describes the former execution chamber.
"It's right by the door to the yard. A truck would be parked outside with the motor running to mask the noise. Then the body would be put in the back and driven away," she says.

I was looking, and looking and I could not find a thread that discussed how people planned to tell their significant other when they finally get that BFP! Do you guys feel like sharing?
I have not make up my mind yet. We tried for tried for about 7 months last year and just started trying again in July. I have put a lot of thought into how I will tell the hubby if the test finally comes back positive! There are so many different ways I can think of to tell him, that I just cannot decide what to do :)
I was thinking about buying a little onsie that says something about 'crazy about daddy' or something cute like that. I was going to put it into my husbands draw, with the positive test and a note saying 'see you on xxx'
thought that was pretty clever!

The Synod of Barmen was a meeting of German Protestant leaders at Barmen in the Ruhr, in May 1934, to organize Protestant resistance to National Socialism (Nazism). The synod was of decisive importance in the development of the German Confessing Church. Representatives came from established Lutheran, Reformed, and United churches, although some of the church governments had already been captured by men loyal to Adolf Hitler, and others had decided to limit their activities to passive resistance. The Pastors' Emergency League, headed by Martin Niemöller, was the backbone of the active resistance. Various lay leaders and groups also rallied to the cause.
At Barmen the representatives adopted six articles, called the Theological Declaration of Barmen, or the Barmen Declaration, that defined the Christian opposition to National Socialist ideology and practice. The major theological influence was that of Karl Barth. The declaration was cast in the classical form of the great confessions of faith, affirming major biblical teachings and condemning the important heresies of those who were attempting to accommodate Christianity to National Socialism. It is treated as a confession by some denominations.

TCU commit Semaj Thomas and his Southwest teammates opened the 2014 season on Friday night and HornedFrogBlitz.com was there to catch the action.
EYEBALL TEST:At 6-foot-2, 230-pounds, Thomas is hard to miss and has the perfect size for a linebacker at the next level.
Although Southwest lost 44-21 to Saginaw Boswell, Thomas recorded a team-high 10 tackles and had 2 tackles for loss. Thomas drew several double teams on the night but was able to make plays for the Raiders. Boswell made it a point to either double up on Thomas or run away from him altogether. Although he missed a few tackles, he made several key stops by using his speed and pure strength to blow up a block. He's definitely not afraid to put his head in the middle of a pile to cause havoc. Thomas is definitely worthy of his top 15 ranking among linebackers in the nation.
See the images and highlights of Thomas' night below...

My suggestion would be to start off with mods that will let you enjoy the drive everyday and be useful. Some mods that you may put $2,000.00 into that touch the engine could quickly spiral into $2,000.00+ (ex: turbo-back exhaust, then you'd need a tune, then you'd probably want sway bars and a stiffer suspension, new tires, etc. etc.).
IMO go with a Short Shifter & bushings, dedicated winter tires and steelies (or just rims you wouldn't mind beating up a bit), a better shift knob, and clear bra install since the paint on subies is really fragile. Also along the lines of paint, it would probably be a good idea to tell the dealer not to detail it and take it to a professional detailer who will put opti-coat on it or do it yourself. This will make the car easier to clean, keep it cleaner longer, take out alot of the paint imperfections that come from the factory, as well as protect the paint.
Those will all be noticeable and useful improvements that will improve the life of your new car as well as make it more fun to drive. A plus is that everything is reversible if you want to bring it back to stock.
*edit* left out detailing

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Another receiver might have looked out the window of his hotel room Saturday morning, studied the rainy, wind-swept panorama before him and assumed he was about to have a bad day. Not Graham Zug.
I looked out the window and saw a golf course, he said. I thought, 'I want to play golf.'
The gloomy conditions outside the Ypsilanti Marriott, which abuts a public course, seemed entirely appropriate given Penn State's sad history at Michigan. But Zug wasn't fazed, and neither were his teammates. The junior wideout caught three touchdown passes, tight end Andrew Quarless caught another, and the Nittany Lions took advantage of a sloppy game by Michigan for a 35-10 victory.
The 13th-ranked Lions didn't let the cold, wet weather slow down their offense. If anything, they reveled in it, as Daryll Clark threw for 230 yards and a career-high four touchdown passes.
I think everybody just made up their mind that we were going to show people we were a pretty good football team, Joe Paterno said. They came out here and played well.
Zug was the big star of Penn State's first victory at Michigan Stadium since 1996. And an unlikely star he was. He had arrived at Penn State as a walk-on, a player who had to be encouraged by his parents to give big-time football a shot. They told me not to sell myself short, he said. So I didn't. I came to the highest level I could come to, and I worked hard. I worked every single day and took advantage.
Zug hadn't caught so many touchdowns in a game since his junior year at Manheim Central, when he caught five scoring passes against Conestoga Valley. And I dropped a sixth, he said.
He didn't drop anything that came his way Saturday, which is characteristic of his performances in games and practices. He's a very steady football player, Paterno said. He's steady, he's smart, and he's tough. He isn't one you put a clock on and he lights it up, but he knows how to read routes. He has really good hands and he's a good competitor.
The offense's success was only half the story for Penn State. After a worrisome start, the defense clamped down hard on a Michigan offense that went into the matchup averaging a Big Ten-best 37.3 points a game. Michigan's 10 points constituted its worst performance of the season. A week earlier, the Wolverines had amassed 727 yards, albeit against Delaware State. But against the Lions, they managed only 250.
Seventy of those yards came on Michigan's first, flawless drive. The 11-play possession ended with a 1-yard plunge by Brandon Minor, as Michigan became the first opponent to score a first-half touchdown against the Nittany Lions this season.
But the 7-0 lead lasted all of four plays. Sparked by tailback Evan Royster, who finished the game with 100 yards rushing, Penn State answered with lightning-fast drive capped by Zug's 10-yard touchdown catch. The Lions added three more points on a 34-yard Collin Wagner field goal, two more on a second-quarter safety resulting from a bad snap that bounced out of the end zone, and seven more when Quarless beat linebacker Obi Ezeh for a 60-yard touchdown on first down after Michigan's free kick following the safety.
The long touchdown by the senior tight end foreshadowed the offensive splurge that was to come. Quarless lit up as soon as the play came into the huddle. I knew I was going to have a matchup against a linebacker, he said. I'd been telling Daryll all day, 'I'm faster than every linebacker.' Not to sound cocky, but I told Daryll, 'I'm faster than him.' So he looked to me.
Good call. Clark hit Quarless in stride, and the tight end accelerated away from Ezeh for his first touchdown catch of the season.
The Wolverines managed a 23-yard Jason Olesnavage field goal just before halftime, to cut the Lions' lead to 19-10. But they quickly regained their momentum in the third quarter, as Chaz Powell returned the opening kickoff 54 yards to set up Zug's second touchdown catch of the afternoon, an 11-yarder. And a Denard Robinson fumble set up another Zug touchdown, a 17-yarder, for a 32-10 lead. Wagner finished the scoring with a 29-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.
Penn State left Ann Arbor with its second consecutive victory over Michigan. Much had been made of its past disappointments in the Big House, but everything went right on Saturday, and the Lions were all smiles as they trotted out of the famed tunnel into the locker room.
No one was smiling harder than Zug, whose ambitions were modest when he first joined the team.
I never really thought about this, he said. I never thought about three touchdowns in one game. I didn't think of being a starter, didn't think of anything. I just wanted to get on the field and get some playing time.
It's a great feeling, he added, It's an important win for us, a step in the right direction.

Vill du ange som standardvaluta eller gäller valutan endast för detta besök?
Utsikten Oerhört dåligt mottagande vid ankomst. Man drog en slip på $1450 för tre nätter som kostade ca $400. Otrevligt bemötande när detta påpekades.
Vacker utsikt över Haifa. God frukost. Tyst läge, Behov av modernisering och renovering av rummen.
WIFI fungerade utmärkt. Bra läge. Slitet badrum, men rent.
A very comfotrtable hotel with excellent views and very helpful staff.
Honestly nothing about the hotel other than location overlooking Haifa proper and the Mediteranian Stayed in rooms 1212 and 1210. Furniture old, scratched..etc. Dull hotel. Carpets looked dirty and rooms smelled bad. I think hotel reflects very poor value for money.
breakfast elevators
The hotel is located in good location the room was clean and the staff friendly. however the room was a simple 2 star hotel room. I was very disappointed. because for such a room the price was extremely high.
Very good room, very good breakfast, great view! Nothing, all ok
Excellent breakfasts, very clean, great pool, amazing views. Very very small beds and rooms and few commodities in the room, considering the price.
breakfast room is very small & TV - old-fashioned
We enjoyed the hotel
Staff were good The description was misleading. It's a hotel for large families on a budget. Cheap food, sparse 'east clean' rooms with old furniture.
The only hotel in Haifa located right on the beach. Very quite room (may be because the hotel was quite empty during our stay, but still). Exellent sea view from the room, good breakfast, helpful stuff. Free undeground parking. Very quite area, nothing but the waves of the sea could be heard from the room at night. The hotel is rather far from the city center with restaurants, bars, tourist sites, etc. However we have had a car with us, so that did not bother us. If you are looking for true 4-stars hotel, this will not be your choice, the room was good and clean, however it definitely requires some renovation. We have stayed by a special offer - 4 nights for a price of 3, that was OK for me, the regular price of $200 per night seems a bit overpriced.
The location by the beach was nice. The room was a spacious suite.The beach was nice. The hotel is very tired and needs a renovation. The smell in the lobby and hallways of some disinfectant was horrible. The cleanliness was lacking. The dining room looks like it is from the 50s.During our stay the TV did not work and could not be fixed due to holidays.You could not get a coffee with your dinner. The surrounding area was littered and needed cleanup and sweeping.
The see and the beach Oldfashion bathroom
The indoor pool is excellent The telephone in the room did not work most of the time (out of six days)
The pool is very good.
The hotel is not 5 star. By usa standards, it is 3 star. The hallways were not air conditioned, so you step out into a Sauna in the hallway. In general, the appearance of the room was closer to 3 star than 5. Compared to other overpriced hotels in Haifa, I suppose it was still an ok deal. Service was slow to arrive when asked for.
Apartment very confortable with look to the sea, good breakfast and a good lokation to go to all citys around. I didn't used the swimming pool and fitness instalations.
Only Sea View. .. Service is not good enough, including the staff competencies, bath room and breakfast restaurant were dirty, delivery of the luggage from the room to the reception (when we checked out) took around 45 minutes... and we have been obliged to go back to the room, as nobody was in charge of it. Food was not at standard 4 stars hotel level (any fruits juices , any fresh fruits, but a lot of various salty meals for a breakfast.)Any direct access to a beach (as indicated in the hotel description). Hotel needs a general service improvement and refreshment!
business lounge was very good;wifi rather weak. elevators long waiing time ; staff using extensively elevators without reagrds for the guests
The view Poor service, low hygiene - dirty, bad & unfreshed food.
i like very much the Spa the swimmingpool and the food
Ambiance of the hotel.I have stayed at the hotel on several previous trips to Israel and I recommended it to others. I felt hotel was overbooked for the staff it had. The Dinner hours became problematic with seating.The staff seemed to be in a hurry to clear the tables.Certainly very different form my other previous visits to the Spa.I had with me 4 other guests from Canada, who checked out early!! Too bad.
In addition to all the spag treatments, the hotel is set in the middle of the Carmel Forest with a view of the seai in the distance. The outdoor pool is well heated and large with plenty of lounges and beds outside on the lawn. They recommended signing up for treatments before arrival but never answered phone and did not answer message left on machine.
It is quiet and luxurious and designed for those having spa treatments, but with many other activities and great food.
the peace and quite is incredible !!
This is a great place - setting is spectacular, facilities are great, activities are varied and nicely done. The whole experience --- almost --- was amazing, and probably a good value despite the very high price (nearly $500 USD for 2 per night, full board). The food was great, nicely presented, good service for the most part, and lots of it. You will not lose weight here. There were some surprises: For one -- drink charges at the meals and lack of coffee or tea with lunch and dinner. I may be the only person in the world who likes my dessert with coffee or tea, but you can't get it here. You have to leave the restaurant and get your coffee in the lobby, one level up, after your meal. Just strange, and a bit annoying. Also, the waiters ask you what you want to drink but do not tell you that a lot of the beverages (like a simple coke or mineral water) are not included in the "full board." So, after you order, get served, and begin drinking, they come with a receipt to sign!!! When I complained, they basically said "tough luck." Strange.
excellent cuisine relaxing environment no
The Spa lived up to expectations which were high. Staff are warm, smiley and polite, the location is excellent for rest and relaxation and the food is excellent
Excellent hotel, excellent spa, no kids and gourmet cooking, what more could one ask for .................
The hotel was so relaxing! Loved the treatments and all the food. The service was really good as well.
The hotel staff is friendly and helpful; this is a step up front usual Israeli hotel staff many of which do not understand the concept of customer service. Israeli hotels, especially outside of Tel Aviv are still grappling with this concept. Same for retail and food stores. Unfortunately, Israel is great at building things but very poor at maintaining them. The Crowne Plaza is typical was built but 15 years ago and is already starting to look shoddy around the edges. We noticed that mold is starting to appear, especially in the bathrooms, and the wood trim is beginning to rot away; Haifa can be quite humid during certain times of the year. Also, the hotels A/C is either on or off, no temperature settings other than 4 settings indicating warmer or colder; after that is just stays on blowing. Friends of ours stayed at a competing Dan hotel, but the situation is the same. They characterized it as a "tired" Hyatt.
Absolutely amazing facilities, kind staff, great location, great value for the money! I stayed in the 'unicorn room'- the one with the blue lights- and loved evey moment. The shower might just have been the best part of the amenities (youll have to stay to see...). AMAZING complimentary breakfast provided through a voucher with an adjacent resteraunt. Top notch all the way!! Also, the location in Haifa COULD NOT have been better, right at the foot of the Baha'i Gardens! I liked it all. No complaints whatsoever.
Spa like, country style room with modern conveniences
This was the best hotel of our stay in Israel.
Very nice hotel, good breakfast and restaurant. Hotel did not have bar/sitting area. Only central space was the restaurant. However, this is a guest house, not a hotel so that is not such a surprise.
Location, wife and I walked to Bahai Gardens, rooftop jaccuzzi and food quality; No Local beers!
Attentive staff. Nice to be in a smaller, boutique hotel with amenities.
Quality small boutique hotel in good Haifa location
Breakfast included was lavish and tasty and served with warmth in a wonderful open garden room/cafe style. The wallpaper was black with some white flowers - nice but a bit too dark for our taste. The bathroom too, was black which although the lighting was good, it was a dreary feeling. Bathtub had jacuzzi which we do not like, and very narrow, so larger people would have trouble standing in it to shower!
I liked the location and the personal touch of the team.
Our room was lovely and the service, food and attention was faublous.
Friendly and efficient staff. Charming atmosphere. The room was nice but a bit small, especially the bath, but for a simple stop en route north it was satisfactory.
Utmärkt bemötande, Perfekt frukost buffet .Trevligt område med många restauranger. Nära till city. Nattlivet från gatan kan vara störande.
Fantastisk bra. Bra rum, snygg standard och centralt läge- Motsvarade verkligen våra förväntningar-
Good location, free wifi, balcony. Not sure why so many complained about having a toilet on the balcony - dont see whats the big deal to be honest. the room is very basic, but adequate and clean - what else do u need?
Staff extremely helpful. 1) Room did not have toillet inside, just a shower. This was not mentioned in the add!!! 2) Bring your earplugs. Air con excessively noisy (and does not work properly)
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel was too expensive for what it was, the rooms were not exceptionally clean nor nice facilities for the price. It was fine for 1 night but I would not stay for longer.
Hotel per hour. Old furniture, rooms need to be repaired, toilet room is on the balcon, no sound proofing at all. Try to find something else in Haifa, do not rent a room there! They charge your credit card for the whole amount (not the first night) as soon as you make booking on the site, so you will never return your money.
the room, the cleanliness and the privacy. I also had a television, ac, and a balcoy which had beautiful views of the city. there is nothing about this hotel that I actually did not like.
cheapest hotel in haifa (but still expensive) no body can do more
i liked the hotel staff, they were extremely friendly and helpful, the room was clean, the location was good for going anywhere (beaches, sights, restaurants etc) the shower was right by the bed separated just by a curtain, and wc was in the balcony, one had to dress up in order to go there, the door to the balcony was 5cm above the floor, so at night the room was attacked by gigantic cockroaches, the windows were w/o any screens, so mosquitoes entered freely, and the noise from the street, especially buses, was very annoying
Location is really good and it's right next to everything. I got the upgraded room which was very nice with my own bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. This is basic hotel where you can get a good night sleep on a budget. Only 4 parking spaces..In a very cramped space. Yes parking is free but this could become a hustle sometimes during day when other cars park bad or block you.
Nothing but the location. I wold suggste to ban it for this site. Almost everything. I stayedin the fifth flour and ther is no elevator and nobody to help you with lugage.
ein schlectes erfarhungen...
Amazing staff, and clean facilities. Great price, best price I found In all of Israel for a Hotel room.
Very nice owners who takes good care of the guests. Always clean, quiet, though right in the city core. Could have had two single beds instead of double beds, which gives more flexibility for friends travelling together.
Ett väldigt bra och trevligt hotell med mycket tillmötesgående, vänlig och serviceinriktad personal mitt i stan, dessutom prisvärt!
Den gemensamma uteplatsen med en helt fantastisk utsikt.

Pep Guardiola, following his switch from Barcelona to Bayern Munich, is set to offer Chelsea £40million for Brazilian defender David Luiz, according to reports.
The Sun claim that Guardiola was eager to sign the Chelsea star at Barcelona but is now ready to make a move for him now he is settled at Bayern.
Luiz, 26, signed a new contract with the west London club last year and Jose Mourinho is reiterating that the player is not for sale.
Mourinho told reporters, while on tour with the club in Asia that Luiz is in his first team plans.
"The potential is incredible, amazing," Mourinho said of the Brazilian, "He always has to play. For me he is a central defender."
Luiz was excused from Chelsea's pre-season tour due to his appearance in the Confederations Cup, but is due to meet up with the team today.
The defender joined Chelsea in 2011 from Benfica for an undisclosed fee, reported to be around £20-25million.

Black sand topped with Fluval shrimp stratum shaping?
I have some black sand and a new bag of 8.8lb Fluval shrimp stratum for my new 15g tank. My question is that will I be able to maintain high sloped on the back if I put the stratum over the sand? I know sand alone would even out over time, so I'm wondering if the stratum over the sand would help hold down the shape.
Much appreciated!!
Both will eventually settle over time.
If you want slopes to hold their shape, you'll need to use something like lava rock beneath the substrate in order to maintain appearance of the substrate.
Will be doing my hard scape today so will give that a try!
1 Attachment(s)
Okay, I added stones at various points under the high/mid level of the sand to create little walls (and that large dragon stone in the front right to create a sharp decline) lighting sucks so you can't see any depth..). Hoping it stays sloped!! Plants and water go in tomorrow!

Toshiba just announced its next-generation Chromebook line, the Chromebook 2. Is it the one you've been waiting for? I've got details and specs.
Toshiba just announced the line, which is composed of two Chromebooks, and they'll be available in the U.S. beginning October 5. They're both powered by a dual-core Bay Trail-based Atom chip, the Celeron N2840, which isn't quite up to the power of Intel's Haswell chips, but are faster than a number of other Chromebooks which are powered by ARM-based chips.
Both devices come with 13.3-inch screens, so you won't feel cramped using their screens. The lower-cost model, at $250, has a 1366×768 display and 2GB of RAM. That's not particularly noteworthy. But the higher-priced system, at $330, is more impressive, with 4GB of RAM and a 1080p IPS display. Both models have 16 GB of storage and free 100GB of Google Drive storage.
It weighs just a bit under three pounds, and is quite sleekly designed -- if you only glanced at it quickly, you might mistake it for a Macbook Air. Battery life is rated at nine hours. It also has impressive-sounding speakers. As for ports, it's got one USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 port. There's also a webcam, HDMI output, and SD card slot.
So is this the device for you? It may well be, at least the higher-priced one. At $330, the screen size and resolution, and 4 GB of RAM is quite a good deal, better than most other Chromebooks you can find. For now, it offers a great balance between features, power, and performance. As for any other new Chromebooks that might be better, I'll keep you tuned in.

If the mining claim is "patented" it has been bought from the govt., and is private property. Otherwise, a mining claim only gives either the surface or below surface mineral rights to that piece of ground, depending on the type of claim (placer or lode). While the claim holder can't legally keep you from crossing the claim, the agency involved usually works with the claim holders to minimize vandalism theft, and chance of injury. You should get a list of claim holders in the area you would like to use, and get with them and the agency to explain who and what you are, and what you would like.

Poet Behbahani, 'lioness of Iran', dies at 87: state media
By Michelle Moghtader
DUBAI (Reuters) - Poet Simin Behbahani, a champion of women's rights and free speech whose lyrical verse captured the hopes and disappointments of Iranians since the 1979 revolution, died on Tuesday at the age of 87, official media reported.
Nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature, she earned the unofficial title of the "Lioness of Iran" for what admirers saw as her courage in the face of official censorship.
After nearly two weeks in the Tehran Pars hospital, she died of heart and respiratory complications, according to state news agency IRNA. She was nearly blind towards the end of her life.
"Until now, I've said what I've had to say, I've always said I'm against death, I'm against killing and I'm against imprisonment," she told the BBC's Persian service in 2012.
She voiced strong opposition to the practice of stoning, a rarely used form of capital punishment. Under Islamic law in force in Iran since the revolution, adultery may be punished by death by stoning, while crimes such as murder, rape, armed robbery, apostasy and drug trafficking are all punishable by hanging.
Behbahani added her voice to those of the demonstrators who rushed into the streets after a disputed presidential election in June 2009 to protest against alleged ballot rigging, by writing the poem "Stop Throwing My Country To The Wind".
She encapsulated the hopeful and later deflated moods of contemporary Iran after the revolution, using a 1,100-year lyrical form of poetry known as the ghazal.
"It's an amazing index of those yearnings, and aspirations and disappointments following the revolution," Dr. Ahmad Karimi-Hakkak, a friend of the poet and director of the Roshan Center for Persian Studies at the University of Maryland, said of her work. Continued...

The fact that Amazon is going to get into the tablet game is not yet confirmed but considering the amount of rumours and speculation we have seen recently, it seems like only a matter of time before its made official. Today we have a report suggesting the Amazon tablet will arrive in the second half of this year.
Far eastern panderers of speculation, DigiTimes, has reported that Amazon has placed an order with Taiwanese manufacturer Quanta for its tablet and the company hopes to sell between 700,000 and 800,000 per month during "peak season." The anonymous sources quoted by DigiTimes go on to say that Quanta expect to start shipping the units by the second half of this year and the order will add $3.5 billion to Quanta's annual revenues in 2011. The Amazon tablet will have full support from Taiwan-based electrophoretic display (EPD) maker E Ink Holdings (EIH) who already supply the technology for the Kindle, and who will supply its Fringe Field Switching (FFS) LCD technology for the up-coming tablet.
FFS technology is a rival to the much touted IPS technology we have seen on the iPad and iPhone as well as the recently released Asus Eee Pad Transformer. Quanta is already in the tablet game, producing slates for RIM and Sony and is in discussions with Lenovo regarding the follow up to the LePad. Amazon has had huge success with the Kindle here in Europe and in North America but has failed to make such an impact in other parts of the world. It will be hoping that with a tablet that will change.
