UPDATED Aug 13, 2010 to correct UK info, reorganize, and add common Kindle titles. (Original posting Aug 5)
NOTE that the webpage titles for the images on the left (click on them to show page titles) display:
"slate-shasta-main-3g" and "slate-shasta-main-3g-white" and that they're both placed (as seen in the URL) under the Amazon subfolders "kindle/shasta\"
The gadget-news rumor was accurate about the coming "Shasta" model. (on May 31).
While showing the Amazon listing of the Kindle devices for which the two new word games work, it occurred to me that the listing is probably confusing to those new to the Kindle scene.
I tried to clarify what each model 'is' in an update to the Word Games posting.
While doing that, I felt I should put that section in a post of its own, so this is it.
Re the two Kindle-3 photos at the top. Amazon likes to call the latest Kindle just "Kindle" but that is just not going to work very well these days.
Amazon's mistake here may be in refusing to recognize former models, in a way, by almost immediately calling the later Kindle-2 just "Kindle" as if Kindle 1 no longer existed, but it certainly does, as a great many stayed with that model and still read on it the many books they currently buy from Amazon.
In the small picture of the Kindle 1 (below, right), which you can click on to see the enlarged photo, the original Kindle (released in 2007) was displaying, in 2008, some Google search results.
The Kindles are more like Cablevision receivers. They exist so we can order media for them. It's too bad there's no upgrade path to a later Kindle the way there is with cable receivers that exist to receive and help display the media content in which we're interested. It's easier when there are model numbers for receivers, rather than spelling out the "generations," Apple started this -- StarTrek must have been the inspiration for that? -- but they don't call the latest iPod just "iPod" - they identify the latest model with an alpha-character combo so people have a better fix on what they have.
Kindle 1
"Kindle, 1st Generation [etc, etc]" is a mouthful.
We did and many of us still do have a Kindle 1, which some dubbed "Kindle Klassic."
Its storage capacity is very low and its screen speed capability is so slow that a cursor could not be placed by the programmers IN the screen and we have to go to the ROW for a given word and then choose one of the words from all the words on that row when we want the Kindle to perform an action.
These are reasons that software updates will not easily work with the Kindle 1. My Kindle 1 continues to work very well as an e-book reader. But Kindle-1 owners shouldn't expect complex updates to that, as it requires different programming and this is usually considered economically not feasible for a company. I noticed other customers putting 1-star reviews on the word games product-review page just because they weren't re-programmed to also work with the Kindle 1.
(Below: Amazon's identification of Kindles for the new wordgames,
plus customer identifiers)
I add -- after the Amazon title & description -- the more common identifer (in italics) that customers use.
Kindle 3 - 3rd Generation
1. Kindle (Free 3G + WiFi, 6") - (Kindle 3 6" with 3G/WiFi)
{UK: 3G/WiFi}
2. Kindle (Wi-Fi, 6") - (Kindle 3 6" with WiFi Only)
{UK: Kindle-3 WiFi-Only}
These are the Latest Generation 6" Kindles not shipping until Aug 27 or so.
Kindle 2 - 2nd Generation
Kindle (2nd Generation) International and Kindle (2nd Generation) U.S. - These are Kindle-2 6"-screen models and the latest 6" versions in-hand until Aug 27, 2010 or so. The International model uses wireless globally when accessible. The U.S. version uses U.S. wireless only (Sprint).
Kindle DX Graphite - Latest Generation
Kindle DX (Free 3G, 9.7", Graphite) - the Kindle DX Graphite with higher contrast screen, latest generation.
Released after the next two devices just below, which are able to run the games as well.
Kindle DX International and also U.S.-only - 2nd Generation
Kindle DX (Free 3G, 9.7", White) International and Kindle DX (Free 3G, 9.7" White) U.S.
I've wondered if some may not have noticed that there is a White Kindle 3 as well ... the Graphite model is the one heavily featured. And the Latest Generation DX with higher contrast comes only in the Graphite color.
UPDATED 8/6/10 to include that the UK Amazon store offers the Kindle 3 only in the Graphite color and doesn't sell the Kindle DX currently.
WHAT'S "3G" AND WHAT'S "WiFi" ?
( See the updated blog article on how WiFi and 3G wireless access differ. There is also some information on that in the first half of E-Readers with Web Browsers, WiFi vs 3G cellular access, which should give a basic idea of the situations
in which each type of wireless is used and what's involved.)
Basically, and in the least words (for once):
1. 3G - cellular or mobile networks -- this type is, as with cellphones, accessible over the air almost anywhere. You can be on a bus or at the beach and it can work there.
And if your country has web-browser enabled through 3G, you'll be able to use that feature in other countries as well.
Personally, I wouldn't give this free access up for a one-time $50 cost when it normally costs $30-$60/month for this type of feature on a smart phone.
2. WiFi - wireless local area networks (WLAN) -- You need to be near a 'local' area network in this case, so these are usually set up in homes or offices and you can find "hotspots" at places like Starbucks, McDonald's and other cafes though some require a per hour charge and/or a password/passkey.
While the Wifi is about $50 less (U.S.), you give up Free 3G cell-phone-type wireless access for the life of the unit.
Kindle Touch 3G Kindle Touch WiFi Kindle Basic (UK: KBasic) Kindle Fire

During the last week of 2014, I had some time off from work and I spent lots of time in my studio mostly working on a quilt for my friend Cara. Cara has been on the journey for adoption for a while now and at Thanksgiving her dream came true when Baby Logan made her a Mom. A group of friends started planning a baby shower to welcome baby Logan and shower Cara with some love to show how happy we are for her. Of course I volunteered to make a quilt so my proposal for friends to send me a quote or a greeting they would like to add to the quilt, I would digitize in Art and Stitch and then I would use my embroidery machine to stitch them out. These blocks would then become part of the quilt. The theme for the shower and then the quilt was – ZOO so I immediately searched for zoo fabric and found 2D Zoo pool by Alexander Henry which was just perfect. Here is it I also got to look at a two pictures that Cara liked as an inspiration for Logan's nursery and I minute I saw the photos I knew the above fabric was the right one to pick! I went to buy the fabric and couldn't find it anywhere but after a longer search I found the white version above and also a version with a blue background on 2 separate Etsy stores. Each were selling a yard cut and I messaged them to see if they had more and lucky they did! I ordered the white version to use on the quilt top and the blue for the backing. Based on the nursery pictures I decided a medium grey solid would work best for the background fabric and I just needed to decide what solid fabric I could uses to stitch out the quotes. I decided to shop my stash first and came across a half set of Laura Gunn fat quarters with colors that were just perfect. Here is the fabric I started out with: Slowly but surely, the quotes can in and I think I spent nearly 2 days digitizing then all as I love playing with Art and Stitch it was great for me to learn more about digitizing text. Here are some of the quotes as they looked in Art and Stitch I worked on over 20 different quotes and it took about 3 days to stitch them out. Here are a few more of the wonderful quotes: Final I got to to a point of being able to decide how to layout the quilt and played with the fabric on my design wall and very quickly it went from this: To this: To finally loaded on my longarm: For quilting I decided to use an edge...Read More
Graduation Day Quilt
I always love reading all the entries in the Blogger Quilt Festival over at Amy's Creative Side which is held twice a year in spring and fall. I just love going through all the categories and admire the lovely quilts. This time around I have decided to show my "Graduation Day Quilt" which I finished earlier this year. It was made to celebrate a friends of the family's graduation from I love using ombre fabric and when I first saw the Hole in the Wall quilt pattern I knew it would be perfect for this quilt. Here is how I did the rows each vertical row was cut from one width of fabric. For the quilting I picked a panto called Modern Maze #1 which I think was perfect for the quilt: Here is a close up of the quilting: I entered this quilt at the San Mateo County fair and was very excited when it won a ribbon and a rosette. It won a Best Modern Quilt and First Place in the Modern Quilt Category. I really need to pack this up and mail it to Denise in Ireland as her graduation was over a year ago! I find it hard to part with it but I will send it to her soon. I promise! Please visit the main page on Amy's Creative Side and start drooling over all the awesome quilts don't forget to return on November 1st to vote for your favorites in each category! Thanks for stopping by. ...Read More
September – Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
It has been a long time since I was last here and what a summer it has been – so much has happened that has kept me away from my sewing room. The good news is that I have started back creating and just love what I have on my design wall right now. In early June I had announced that I was going to start working on a quilt called Celtic Celebration to use as a raffle quilt to raise funds for the Jennifer Kranz Research fund. Despite my lack of ability to sit long enough to sew, I have not stopped creating this quilt in my heart and mind, it has evolved to be a very different quilt than the one I was going to start in June. As September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, I am excited to now be able to restart my efforts to create a quilt to honor Jennifer and hopefully raise some much needed funds to donate to Unravel Pediatric Cancer the soon to be non profit set up with "one goal in mind; we will unravel pediatric cancer." Here is what I said about the quilt in June and all are still valid: It will be called "Celtic Celebration for JLK" It will have applique Celtic knots It will glitter It will have a butterfly and a dragonfly The colors will be warm and cheery Every stitch will be put in with love So the plan is now as follows: Sept 1 start blogging about the creation of the quilt during September continue to blog to show the progress of the quilt and bring awareness to Childhood Cancer the raffle will now start on October 28 and end on February 12 So here is the ask for all of you who read this post: Please share this blog post with your friends to help build awareness-Thanks! Like my Facebook page by clicking on the big blue "F" to the right of the screen to get updates on blogs posts If you are a quilter and you would like to donate a quilt (however big or small) to the raffle let me know Follow Libby's Blog to get updates on her journey In October – February consider buying tickets for the raffle.

Celtic Celebration – A Quilt Along and Quilt Raffel to raise funds for the Jennifer Kranz Research Fund
Today it is four months since Jennifer (JLK) life was cut short by a horrible disease DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma). To honor her life and raise money for the Jennifer Kranz Research Fund I will be doing a quilt along and quilt raffle on my blog. Here are the dates of the Quilt Along and Raffle: June 17 – July 7: Publish a number of posts with details and instructions for creating the quilt top July 8: Reveal of the finished quilt top Month of July: Publish posts to show the quilting progress August 1: Raffle begins October 28 @ 4:38pm: Raffle of the Celtic Celebration Quilt A little note on the dates June 17 is my birthday, June 8 is my Dads birthday and October 28 will be Jennifer's 7 Birthday. Libby, JLK's Mom has a wish to have the Jennifer Kranz Research Fund reach $100,000 by October 28 and I am hoping to help with raising some money to help reach that goal. Here is what I can say about the quilt: It will be called "Celtic Celebration for JLK" It will have applique Celtic knots It will glitter It will have a butterfly The colors will be warm and cheery Every stitch will be put in with love Some facts to consider: 7 Children die each day from Pediatric Cancer. Less than 4% of the NIH cancer research budget goes towards pediatrics. More American children die of cancer than of AIDS, asthma, cysctic fibrosis, diabetes and congenital abnormalities combined. In the past 20 years, only 2 new cancer drugs have been specifically approved for pediatric use. Both for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukima. By contrast, in one year… 2012 a total of 23 drugs were approved for adults. Average age for a child diagnosed with cancer is 6. For breast cancer, it's 61 and prostate it's 63. Average number of years lost for the adults that die is 15 years… for the children that die, it's 69 years. The American Cancer Society only gives one cent of every dollar raised for pediatrics. On their site, they have options for what kind of cancer (breast, prostate, etc.) you want your donation to go towards. Childhood Cancer is not even an option. So here is the ask for all of you who read this post: Please share this blog post with your friends to help build awareness-Thanks!

Praline Cookies
These Praline Cookies are ridiculous! They are a soft brown sugar cookie topped with Warm Praline frosting that melts right into the cookie. Outrageously good!
After having just spent a few days in Charleston, SC I can say that my praline love has officially morphed into a true blue obsession. So when Imperial Sugar asked if I would make Praline Cookies I was fully on board.
These cookies are a soft brown sugar cookie topped with a warm praline mixture that literally soaks right into the cookie…
They're now be in my go-to cookie rotation to be made time and time again. I stinkin' love them!
So hop over to Imperial Sugar for the full recipe!!
Totally gorgeous!!

These look to die for! I know what you mean. The south deepens my affections for pralines as well!
These are so New Orleans! These will be perfect for a cajun themed luncheon. Love these and your blog.
My life will not be complete until I have these!!
I have a long-standing love of all things pecan. These are a no-brainer add to the to-bake list!
I think I'm going to have to agree with the Cookbook Queen on this one – my life absolutely won't be completely until I've made these! I love pralines, which I why I limit my visits to my favorite candy/chocolate store in Savannah to once a year, otherwise I'd just look like a house, so these WILL be made ASAP!!!
This is probably a sin to ask — my dh doesn't like pecans, do you would this work with walnuts? He is a cookie fiend and these look delicious!
Insert "think" into that question, please.
Wow I can tell how soft, chewy, moist and just perfect they are. And that frosting that seeps down? Whoa. LOVE! pinned
What an amazing idea! Love these!
These look really, really yummy!
These sound fantastic. The frosting recipe says to add vanilla and salt, but I don't see these ingredients listed…how much of each?
Praline frosting! These look unbelievable.
Being from New Orleans, I have been obsessed with praline anything since my childhood.
These are being made ASAP. Seriously, they look so divine!
In the ingredients for the flour, there is an asterisk by it. What does the asterisk mean?
i can definitely devour a whole batch of these cookies right now.. they look seriously divine. love praline!
I love pralines. These cookies sound and look fabulous. Heading over to the recipe now.
Ahhh! I went to school in Charleston and love those pralines. You can almost feel the sugar hurting your teeth 🙂 Can't wait to try these cookies!
Pralines are so delicious! I'm sure the cookie version is even better!
I love pecans period. Pralines, OMG!!! Love them too, and I agree with Bri, makes my teeth hurt thinking of them. 😉
These cookies look so delicious!
Oh love the addition of a praline topping – yummo!
I've never made brown sugar cookies but have been wanting to. Sounds like the perfect base for praline!

Hallo, I use Netgen 4.4 on
I use Netgen 4.4 on Windows to mesh geometry from CAD files.
Until now I always used automatic meshing and "refine uniform" from Refinement menu.
Now I want to adjust the mesh, for example make the mesh finer along walls.
Is it possible to do this with netgen? If yes how?

How do we make commercial aviation more secure?
Some folks are suggesting that we put an armed "sky marshall" on each flight (clarification for those outside the USA: In America, marshalls are federal police officers who have the authority to cross state lines).
Others say we should arm all domestic pilots (would every pilot be okay with this?).
Another problem is airport security. Did I hear on the news that each airline hires its own security staff? And that an airport security badge which allows access to all areas of an airport is as easy to fake as a driver's license?
Perhaps we ought to create a new federal agency that's responsible for security for all airlines at all American airports. Each employee of this hypothetical agency would have his/her background checked by the FBI. Also, their security credentials should be designed so as to be nearly impossible to forge.
A couple of security holes have now been closed in the past few days: It used to be that you could carry a 4" knife onto a plane. Also, it used to be that anyone could pass through security and go right up to the departure gate, regardless of whether s/he had a ticket.
Anyone have any ideas/comments about how to make us feel safe about flying again?
I think you've suggested a few really good ideas. I personally would feel safer if we had undercover armed marshals on board. Security in US airports as a whole is gonna have to get very tight. I remember going through Frankfurt and being interrogated because I had a few rechargeable flight packs in my carry on which didn't fit into the rest of my check in luggage. Armed guards escorted me to the room with their explosives sniffing machine. They didn't take any chances because so much is at stake. I never felt one bit of animosity towards the situation because I knew that that kind of security keeps me safe along with everybody else who passes through those gates. US citizens are always bitching about infringement on civil liberties but nobody seems to notice that measures are taken for their own safety. People have to get their heads out of their butts and realize that. If it takes me an extra hour to get through an airport and onto a plane I don't care for a second if it means a safer trip.
I was thinking about this one tonight.
And I think that the marshalls will cost a fortune to implement on our skyways plus they will be the first one to get it if something happens.
Also will they be packin heat? If so there is the chance that they will have to give up there gun in a hostage situation there by giving a gun to the hijacker,,, Not good!
The security being beefed up is an ok Idea, but it will get old real fast and I think my freedom is getting squeezed out of me with each passing day. I think the security we had was just fine if we try something different like this;
EVERY plane be equiped with a radio control system that when there is any trouble the pilot or anyone in the cockpit can hit a switch and the controls are renderd usless from the plane. Imediatlly a signal is sent to a satilite and it determans the planes position, amount of fuel it has to fly on, and the nearest or safest least populated airport which ever makes more sence and it flys the plane in all by itself. The doors canot open from the inside so it is now a prison untill he is let out with the passangers.
All the pilot has to do is go sit in back with the passangers and enjoy a smoke and watch the inflight movie as he canot revers the situation as it has to be reset on the ground by the ground crew.
The plane flys on electronics any how so its just a matter of tying in with the main computer on the plane. We can lauch a couple of satilites up in space or add to exsiting ones for the controllers to operate the whole thing.
Now I know you are saying well what if theres a glitch,,,,
Well the secondary system is someone sitting in a transmitterd simulater. The biggest and coolest RC system.
The cost will be less than the damage we sufferd at the WTC.
Here's a link to an interesting article...we could learn a thing or two from our allies in the Middle East...
"Since its security system of vigorous screening went into effect following the hijacking of an El Al flight to Algeria in 1968, no El Al plane has been successfully hijacked."
I thought of the rc solution as well but it would be difficult and very expensive to update this many planes with that technology the planes were all hijacked with small knives, I think that haveing the pilots securely locked in their cabins would be a great deterent a highjacker isn't going to bring a bomb onto a plane if his demands cannot be physically met and blowing up the plane would be pointless to him he could just have sent the bomb on the plane without him if that were the intentions, also a mild sleeping gas could be released to the passenger area at any sign of trouble rendering all people aft of the flight cabin useless until it reaches its intended destination?
Metal doors on the flight cabin with video feeds allowing the flight crew to visually monitor every part of the cabin.
There are a variety of things tha can be done via a "panic switch" to both alert authorities and freeze the autopilot on it's original destination.
Sky marshalls are an ok idea but it does not go far enough. Air piracy needs to be classified as an act of war and dealt with under the war powers act. A single cowboy cop w/ a 6 shooter isn't my idea of realistic deterrent. We have a large number of highly trained, seasoned people in the military. They're called special forces, seals, rangers, delta force, etc. With a bit of additional training these individuals could become very effective sky marshalls. They should remain on active duty w/ the armed forces which, as I recall, are paid for out of our taxes. 2 or more on each aircraft would be pretty effective against a few guys with knives. Wouldn't adversely affect any law abiding travelers freedoms at all and only costs the airlines the seats. If any hijackers survive they should go to military prison (via war powers act). I suspect aircraft hijacking would quickly become pretty unpopular.
After having flown on bizzness trips throught the past few years,
security is way laxed. For one, the x-ray machines are old.
Two, where do they get the old folks to adminster them?
Their paid next to nothing. What is needed is a uniform system
at all airports. Get trained people to administer. Then question comes up, "who is going to pay for all this stuff and who would
be responsible"? Either the FAA or the Attourney General's office.
Airlines pay or, just increase the ticket cost by 5 or 10 bux. One of my main beefs is the carry on luggage thing. If it was up to me, there would be none. Got involved in an argument once when this idiot put this huge duffel bag above my seat in the overhead and went and sat in the back of the plane. Hence, no place to put my coat. I threw the duffel in aisle and put my coat in. This guy comes from the back b*tchin up a storm. I called a flight attendant and they made the guy check his bag because it was oversized. This is what I mean about having lax security.
And if anyone complains about taking too long to board or it takes too long to get thru security, just show 'em a picture of
the jets crashing into the world trade center.
Lucky he wasn't packing a piece, as has been suggested on more than one forum as a solution to hijacking.
I know exactly what you mean though.
I would be surprised if a few terrorists could effect a sucessful hijacking anytime in the near future, with this example so clear as to the results of tame submission.
The men who prevented the 4th plane from getting to DC did the right thing. Knife wielding won't be enough anymore to prevent the passengers from attacking the terrorists.
But the primary fix has to be prevention of access to the cockpit. No door at all!*
What happens in the passenger cabin can't affect the flight.
And if things get really bad, the FAA must have the ability to turn off aircraft systems.. such as the motors.. remotely.
Accept the loss of the plane versus the much greater loss had it been used sucessfully.
*Pilots carry their own lunches and coffee.. there's a camp potty in the corner..
I really like the autopilot one- just have a switch that the autopilot is flying the plane. Basically make sure it can't be overridden or can only be overridden with a command from outside the airplane. Of course whatever system that you come up with is still vulnerable to a high tech hack approach, but that's hard to do technically.
This has lots of virtues- it's economical and difficult to defeat. Of course hijackers would be forced to grab commuter airplanes instead, but they don't take out buildings.
I'm not real impressed with the idea of beefing up security- it'll prove counterproductive. Air travel is still safer than anything else- make it too much pain, and people will choose another form of transportation which is riskier. Similar problem with marshalls- you'll just increase the cost of air travel. Why not just arm stewardesses with Tasers- i.e. some type of non-lethal firearm.? Or how about tranquilizer guns? You really don't want people carrying firearms on airplanes- explosive decompression is not fun.
Unfortunately, we are going to have to start x-raying luggage (checked and carry on) to prevent the random suicide attack where the target is just the plane and passengers. I don't see a way around this.

South African wildlife activists have initiated a Global March for Lions that will be held in various cities throughout the world to highlight the plight of lions caught up in the canned hunting industry. The march is to be held on Saturday 15th March 2014.
Christine Jordaan, a member of Wild and Free, South Africa, is the originator of the global march for lions. She says, "In September 2013, I happened upon an article by Campaign Against Canned Hunting and started reading up on canned hunting. The horrific reality was almost too much to take in. I thought a worldwide march would be a brilliant way to raise awareness in the general public and to show governments that there is a huge number of people out there across the world who will no longer be silent regarding hunting and the cruelty involved. Our goals are to have trophy and canned hunting banned, to get lions on the Endangered Species List where they belong, to stop the export of lion bones to China and to stop the import of lion trophies in to USA and EU."
Cities that will participate in the march include Hong Kong, Sydney, Brussels, Sau Paulo, Toronto, Frankfurt, Cape Town, Durban, Stockholm, London, New York and Los Angeles, amongst others.
Jenni Trethowan of Baboon Matters fame, has drafted a complete event business plan for the Cape Town march. Her main aim is to organise the largest conservation/wildlife protest march ever held in Cape Town. She plans to make a lion float on a flatbed, donate soft lion toys to an orphanage, distribute leaflets at shopping malls on the day, get game viewing vehicles to lead the march, attract celebrity involvement and organise a formal press conference after the hand-over of the Campaign Against Canned Hunting letter.
Christine Jordaan, the lady who initiated it all, will be leading the march along the Durban beachfront promenade with other local celebrities, sport stars and conservation giants. The Durban march will be filmed by Michael Almendro (of "Tigers and Tutus" fame – a documentary flighted on Carte Blanche to expose of cruelty of circus animals). Other local NPO's supporting the march includes the Lawrence Anthony Earth Organisation and Monkeyline.

I was going to build one of the teardrop campers but they only sleep 2 people and we have 3. I would like to find a small travel trailer that will hold 3 and that we could eat in out of the weather. I am handy and can fix up an old trailer. as I have let everyone know in my holster posts I am laid off permanently from my job so I can't afford anything new. My price range would be around $500. and I have a few things I could add for a camper worth more. 10 shot auto shotgun, Custom Kydex holsters, string trimmer mower( like a DR Mower). Oh yes it has to be able to be pulled by a Jeep Cherokee. If you have a camper or know of one let me know. DF

|National Seasonal Rainfall Outlook: probabilities for April to June 2004, issued 17th March 2004
Mixed June quarter rainfall odds in the east and south
The Bureau's seasonal rainfall outlook for the June quarter shows a strongly varied pattern in the odds over southern and eastern Australia. A drier than average season is more likely in SA, much of Victoria, the far southwest of NSW and Tasmania, while a wetter than average season is more likely in southeast Queensland and the northeast quarter of NSW. This outlook pattern is a result of the combined effects of above average temperatures in both the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
For the April to June period, the chances of above median rainfall are below 40% in a band extending from northwest SA across southwest NSW and Victoria (except East Gippsland) to Tasmania (see map). The probabilities drop below 30% in central SA. This means that BELOW median falls have a 60 to 75% chance of occurring across this broad region. So with climate patterns like the current, about 7 seasons out of 10 are expected to be drier than average in these parts, with about 3 out of 10 being wetter.
Conversely, the chances of above median falls are generally in the 60 to 65% range in the northeast quarter of NSW and southeast Queensland. So with climate patterns like the current, about 6 seasons out of 10 are expected to be wetter than average in these areas, with about 4 out of 10 being drier.
Across WA, the NT and the remainder of Queensland, the chances of a wetter than average June quarter are mainly between 40 and 55%.
Outlook confidence is related to the influence of Pacific and Indian Ocean temperatures on seasonal rainfall. During the June quarter, history shows this influence to be moderately consistent across most of the areas with the large probability shifts, as well as over much of central WA, parts of the northern NT and north Queensland (see background information).
Both the Indian and tropical Pacific Oceans remain warmer than average. For more detail see the the El Niño Wrap-Up.
The Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) has shown strong month-to-month variations recently, in association with active and inactive phases of the northern Australian monsoon. February's value was +9 following the 12 in January and +10 in December. The approximate SOI for the 30 days ending 14th March was +4.

Hayward is once again asking for the community's input as it develops its general plan.
Over the fall and winter, city staff members held a series of meetings to hear what residents want the city to look like going forward. Residents also could go online to weigh in on Hayward's future. Those comments were used to come up with what the city is calling its Draft 2040 Vision and Guiding Principles, which is a framework that will be used to come up with policies and strategies for the general plan.
Two workshops are planned to hear what people think of the vision and guiding principles document: at 7 p.m. March 6 at City Hall, 777 B St., Room 2A; and 7 p.m. March 11 at the Matt Jimenez Community Center, 28200 Ruus Road.
Residents can also post comments at a new community engagement website, called www.Hayward2040.org. Additional discussion topics will be added to the website soon.
The general plan is the city's blueprint for growth and development, sets citywide policy, and outlines a set of programs and projects to achieve the community's vision.
The vision and guiding principles can be found under "previous meetings" at www.hayward-ca.gov/GENERALPLAN,

Newcastle star Georginio Wijnaldum reveals he can't understand the Geordie accent
NEWCASTLE new-boy Georginio Wijnaldum admits he's struggling with the Geordie accent.
Georginio Wijnaldum says he struggles to understand the Geordies
The Holland midfielder joined the Toon Army from PSV in the summer.
The 25-year-old has had an impressive start to his Newcastle career, scoring nine times in 25 Premier League appearances so far.
And, despite Newcastle's struggles near the foot of the table, he's enjoying life - but does admit he finds communicating with the locals difficult.
"It's not easy to settle in if you come to a new club," he said. "Especially in your first year, but it has went well so far.
"I'm glad that they are happy with me, it makes me happy. I want to do my best on the field because I know the fans like me.
"Sometimes it's difficult to understand what they're saying, but I just ask what they mean.
"I can speak English quite well, but there are some words which I don't know and it's difficult to explain what you mean, but if I ask the players or other people how to say something, they will help me
"The people on the street, sometimes they speak Geordie and when I say 'Sorry?' they realise I don't understand, so they speak with less [of a] accent so I can."

Khan Yunis / Old Bedouin's Visions Come True as Dugit Rises, Then Fades Away
Many years ago, when the road from Gaza to Tel Aviv was still open and people used to get into their cars and drive to the big city to work or vacation in Jaffa, there lived in the northern Gaza Strip an old Bedouin called Abu Ata.
Abu Ata, who died a few years ago, had visions, as people in the Siafa area near Beit Lahiya recalled yesterday, watching the evacuation of Dugit. They did not dare come closer, because the IDF fires at anyone who approaches the fence around the settlement. But even from half a kilometer away they could see that window frames had been torn out, that behind them were empty rooms and that under the red tile roofs someone was loading his car.
Abu Ata's visions sounded inexplicable at first, but gradually people learned that they were coming true.
Don't rejoice in your land, Abu Ata said in the mid-1980's to the owners of the orchards and fields northwest of Beit Lahiya, for the day is nigh when the hill near you will be all lit up. People shrugged and continued to rejoice in their land. But two months later, on the beach, a few dozen meters from their cultivated land, Dugit was built. The light in the Jews' houses and streets was always shining.
A few months or years later, Abu Ata spoke of a tribe that would come and rule for seven years - years of destruction and corruption. That too came to pass, they whispered yesterday, and to anyone who did not understand, they explained: that's the [Palestinian] Authority. Abu Ata also spoke of a spark that would come out of Jerusalem "and lo brother Sharon rose on al-Aqsa Mosque and the resistance began," someone explained.
Abu Ata also spoke of five who would be killed. Five people were killed in this region from a shell fired by the IDF - two farmers tilling their field and three national security policeman, who were standing in their positions.
Faraj Abu Rabiya, about 40, of Beit Lahiya, bought 5.3 dunams in the northwestern strip in 1987, where he grew fruit trees and vegetables. Two or three years later, this became his main source of living when the roads to Israel were blocked and he lost his laborer's work in Or Yehuda. But after the intifada erupted, the army came, uprooted his trees and demolished his greenhouses. The IDF raked over the sown land to destroy the crop and destroyed the wells and water pumps. All the green area down to the beach became a wilderness. This scenery is characteristic of all the settlements in the Gaza Strip: red tile roofs surrounded by greenery, surrounded by widening strips of barbed wire, building rubble and turned-over land, which was once green fields and plantations.
Three times Abu Rabiya tried to return to his land and three times the army destroyed his fields, in the name of protecting Dugit and its people.
A fence now separates Abu Rabiya from the rest of his land, "but I am forbidden to go there," he says. Asked what he would do in a few days time, after the disengagement, when he can go to his land, he says "I will die of happiness."
