Kenseth leaves Talladega with frustrating finish
Kenseth finished eighth after leading most of way
TALLADEGA, Ala. — Matt Kenseth left another restrictor plate race pondering what could have been.
Leading far more laps than anybody else, Kenseth was overtaken on the two-lap overtime sprint Sunday by winner David Ragan and others at Talladega Superspeedway.
Kenseth finished eighth after 190-plus mostly terrific laps and a frustrating finale. No wonder Kenseth described the day as both encouraging and exasperating.
He led 142 laps, while Jimmie Johnson was second among the lap leaders with 16.
Kenseth also led a race-high 86 laps at Daytona in February before engine problems led to a 37th-place finish.
He apologized to team owner Joe Gibbs outside the hauler. Kenseth, who won on both big speedways last year, refused to blame the lengthy rain delay, wet conditions, or fading light at the finish.

Android's Biggest Fan Is Microsoft, of Course
Oct 31, 2011 5:00 AM PT
It's been obvious for some time now that Microsoft is a big Android fan, thanks to the tidy sums of cash the software giant has managed to extract from the companies that use it.
What wasn't necessarily apparent until recently, however, is just how far Redmond's devotion goes.
With last week's addition of Compal Electronics to Microsoft's Android licensing lineup, it's becoming truly clear. It doesn't seem premature, in fact, to declare Ballmer et al. Android's biggest fans *ever*, so passionately dedicated have they become.
Compal was the 10th victim of Redmond's lucrative new licensing line of business, of course, and its acquiescence means that Microsoft now gets a piece of more than half of all Android devices out there.
If that won't inspire a little adoration, Linux Girl doesn't know what will!
Redmond's lawyers have surely been doing the Happy Dance all week. As for those in the Linux blogosphere? Not so much.
'A License to Kill WinPhone 7 Dead'
"I think this is yet another data point (as if anyone needs any more proof) that Microsoft's mobile strategy is on the ropes, if not down for the count, and can't compete in the marketplace," opined Barbara Hudson, a blogger on Slashdot who goes by "Tom" on the site.
"And just to rub salt into the wound, even if Microsoft were able to extract Danegeld for every Android device manufactured by anyone for sale anywhere instead of just the US market, every license sold is one less WinPhone sale, one more mobile device using Google instead of Bing, one more customer lost to Android apps, one less customer for Microsoft's mobile gaming and other services," Hudson added.
"Microsoft is basically selling a 'license to kill' -- to kill WinPhone7 dead," she asserted. "This is not the way to get the critical mass of users needed to start a 'virtuous feedback cycle' for your product."
'Like Squeezing a Chocolate Bar'
Eventually, Microsoft is "going to have to bite the bullet and start giving away WinPhone licenses, and even that is probably too little, too late," Hudson told Linux Girl. "Apple and Android have a solid lock on the market."
Making matters worse is that "licensing fees are real balancing act," she pointed out. "The strategy of trying to collect royalties is like squeezing a chocolate bar -- squeeze too hard and you're going to have a sticky mess on your hands as manufacturers look for alternatives."
Apple has shown that "it's possible to switch the underlying OS -- they've done it several times," Hudson noted. "In a worst-case scenario, BSD can replace Android's Linux underpinnings."
Meanwhile, "to milk the current situation as long as possible, Microsoft will have to be very careful not to exceed the manufacturers' collective pain threshold," Hudson warned. "But even that's a loser's game over the long term."
The Problem With Patents
Roberto Lim, a lawyer and blogger on Mobile Raptor, saw it differently.
"If the Android manufacturers feel it is to their benefit to pay the license fees, we should assume that they do have a good reason for doing so, and not assume that Microsoft is milking Android," Lim opined.
After all, "HTC paying license fees to Microsoft did not prevent it from having a banner year," he pointed out.
Still, software patents -- which are the foundation for Microsoft's current licensing strategy -- "do seem too broad," Lim added. "If we applied this to technology that has developed in the past 30 years, it would have restricted innovation."
'Something Is Wrong With the System'
Imagine, for example, "if someone had patented clicking an image displayed on a screen to launch an application, or manipulating a television set with a remote device, or adjusting volume by sliding an indicator displayed on a screen," he mused.
"There is a need to really look at the entire system of software patents and see to what extent they are necessary to protect investments in research and development for new ideas and to what extent patents are sought to try to create a monopoly," Lim told Linux Girl. "Apple, for one, appears to be trying to utilize broad patents to create a monopoly."
Today's patent wars, in fact, are similar to domain name squatting, he concluded: "There are companies that do not manufacture anything, have no product other than patents, and obtained patents for the sole purpose of seeking royalties. When you start to see things like this, you really know something is wrong with the system."
'A House of Cards'
Indeed, "M$'s taxation of Android/Linux is an anticompetitive act propped up by bogus software patents," agreed blogger Robert Pogson. "It's all a house of cards which will fall when SCOTUS finally rules them illegal."
For proof that software patents don't promote innovation, one need only look at the "gridlock" that results, Pogson explained.
"Look at Oracle v Google," he said. "The judge is very busy and has to find a whole month to deal with it on top of the weeks already spent on the matter. The end result is that the legal fees will amount to more than the value of the so-called patents.
"In the high-tech world, patents are inhibitors of innovation," he concluded. "These guys are not working out new ideas in their garages."
'They Spend Billions on R&D'
Slashdot blogger hairyfeet took a different view.
"Android DOES infringe!" hairyfeet told Linux Girl. "Have you SEEN how many patents MSFT has? They have tons, folks -- they spend billions on R&D cranking out more every year."
That, in turn, is why "FOSS needs badly to kill 'free as in beer' and make it, as RMS has said, 'free as in freedom,' because you simply have no way to build a sizable patent war chest," hairyfeet asserted.
'Have a Scary War Chest or Pay Up'
"Look at some of the companies that have died, like Novell -- how much better would it have been for FOSS if ALL their patents were now property of the community?" he added. "This is why, even when they were suing each other, AMD and Intel had cross licensing agreements, and even though they are rivals, AMD and Nvidia have them as well."
There are simply too many patents, in other words, to deal with them any other way, hairyfeet concluded: "You either have a scary enough war chest of your own that rivals want to do cross licensing, or you pay up -- your choice."
Google's absence from Microsoft's licensing campaign is "a strong sign that Microsoft is afraid of litigation in this area but trying to find some way of monetizing the competition," suggested Chris Travers, a Slashdot blogger who works on the LedgerSMB project.
'Every Incentive to Fight to the End'
"In other words, only the devices are licensed, not the allegedly infringing operating system," he added. "The goal of litigation against Motorola and others is solely to flesh out licensing deals and not with the intent to bring anything to trial."
Travers wonders, in fact, "if Google acquired Motorola Mobility solely to take over the patent litigation," he told Linux Girl. "This increases the stakes considerably, and decreases the chance of an 11th hour, out-of-court settlement based solely on device manufacturing."
Google has "every incentive to fight to the end," he pointed out, "and Microsoft has important incentives not to."
In the long run, "I think the only lawsuit that matters is the Motorola one," Travers concluded.

19 July 2012 at 10.15am | Comment on this article
Audience members at a recent performance of the Birthday Offering triple were given a bonus premiere of new work - the ten fanfares to be played throughout the coming 2012/13 season.
The pieces were written by ten young composers aged 11-16 from all over the UK and were selected from hundreds of entries to be recorded with the orchestra of the Royal Opera House. Each young composer worked with Music Director Antonio Pappano to develop their piece.
As part of the recent premiere alongside their family, friends and teachers; the composers were welcomed with a celebratory reception before hearing their fanfares played in the busy front of house areas for the very first time.
I thought the whole experience was wonderful, especially when I found out that James May was watching the performance! It was an unforgettable experience that I will keep with me forever."
- Diego Pérez–Àlvarez, Age 15, St Mary's College, Hull
See our photo gallery for an insight into the workshops and recording session.
The fanfares will be played throughout the 2012/13 Season for opera and music and ballet and dance.
Listen to the final fanfare compositions:

In the middle of the game, the goal posts moved.
That's how aviation analysts are explaining last week's stunning move by the Federal Aviation Administration that prompted the grounding of all American Airlines' MD-80 jets – the workhorse of that airline. Delta, United, and other airlines also had to ground all their MD-80s.
The result was more than 3,000 flights canceled, an estimated 300,000 passengers delayed or rerouted, tens of millions of dollars in excess costs to the airlines, and many times that to the economy in lost productivity and wages.
The problem was not an imminent safety threat, according to the airlines, but a technical matter of whether wiring bundles in the wheel wells were wrapped and attached as the FAA had specified.
And that's where the rules of And that's where the rules of the game changed. In the past, say airline officials and aviation analysts, the FAA has negotiated time frames – say, two months – for airlines to come into technical compliance with its directives. But recent whistle-blower testimony indicating that the FAA had become too close to the airlines, and thus lax in its oversight, created a new environment.
"The FAA was not in the mood to negotiate anything, just having had its head handed to it by an oversight committee," says aviation consultant Robert Mann of R.W. Mann & Co. in Port Washington, N.Y. "The FAA moved the goal posts and put the airline in an untenable position: flying knowing it was not in compliance and risk huge fines or loss of its license, or [ground its fleet]."
By late Saturday, the FAA had given all of American's MD-80s clearance to fly and the airline has returned to its regular schedule. American's CEO Gerard Arpey "profoundly apologized" to travelers for the inconvenience. But he didn't have much to say about the FAA. At a press conference Thursday, Mr. Arpey simply said that American was "not successful" in its request for more time to address the technical issues, despite the fact that extra time was something that "often happened in the past."
Did FAA overreact?
The FAA decision not to give American more time to come into compliance has led some aviation analysts to suggest that the agency overreacted as a result of political pressure stemming from the recent revelations in Congress. In hearings at the Transportation Committee, frontline FAA inspectors testified they were ignored by superiors, and some were even threatened, when they raised safety issues at Southwest Airlines.
"The FAA didn't need to ground all of those planes, they could have done it on a rotating basis," says Richard Gritta, an aviation economist at the University of Portland. "But they've been asleep at the switch – in bed with the industry, now they're trying to prove they're really a tiger with teeth and I don't buy it."
The "overreaction" raises questions about the priorities at the FAA, say other analysts. "We do have an extremely safe airline system in this country, but if you look at where we can best use our resources to make it safer, this is probably not it," says Richard Golaszewski, executive vice president of GRA Inc., aviation consultants in Jenkintown, Pa.
The tens of millions of dollars the grounding cost American and the public would have been better spent improving the air traffic control system, says Mr. Golaszewski, or in making safety monitoring systems more efficient. "There was a relatively large social cost [to these groundings]," he says. "This was hard on the traveling public: it seems like they're being punished because the political pendulum [at the FAA] is swinging the other way."
After the 1996 ValuJet crash, the FAA changed the way it regulated the airlines from a primarily tough enforcement-only approach to a more cooperative one. The idea was that if airlines could self-report problems without fear of incrimination, the FAA would be able to collect safety data and prevent problems before they occur. In general, aviation analysts contend this is a solid, premptive approach that allows safety to be addressed systematically. But many also contend that since the 9/11 terrorist attack, which ushered in unprecedented losses in the aviation industry, the FAA has shifted too far in favor of cooperation. This, they say, has lead to dangerously lax oversight.
At least, until the recent round of inspections that prompted the MD-80 groundings.
What went wrong
The questions the FAA raised about the wiring bundles at American Airlines illustrate the FAA's transition. On Thursday, Arpey noted that back in 2004 American Airlines was the lead carrier to come up with a service bulletin to address the possibility of wires in the wheel chafing, which could, in a worst-case scenario, lead to a fire.
The FAA took that service bulletin and turned it into what is called an "airworthiness directive," which gave all airlines that fly MD-80s 18 months to check and change the way the wiring bundles in the wheel wells were wrapped and secured. Arpey says American's mechanics made the required changes on all of the planes.
But in this most recent round of inspections, which were ordered after the FAA whistle-blowers went to Congress, the FAA contended that American did not fix the problem correctly. American did not disagree. "We found that we weren't in precise compliance with the requirements and we need to be," says Arpey.
American has now hired a consultant to ensure that it will interpret the FAA's airworthiness directives properly in the future. And some aviation analysts do see something good coming from last week's disruptions.
"The disruptions were major, but this was not done in response to a crash," says Clint Oster, an aviation analyst at Indiana University at Bloomington. "This is a case where it was preemptive grounding in response to a maintenance concern and not a crash. So, in some sense, it indicates that we have made some progress."

Sealing solutions
The performance of a sealing arrangement is vital to the cleanliness of the lubricant and the service life of the bearings. The type of seal should be selected based on the lubricant type and operating speed but levels of contamination and misalignment should also be considered.
There is a wide assortment of SKF housing seals. Some housings can accommodate different types of seals, while other housings are designed for one specific sealing solution. For information about the sealing solutions available for a particular housing, refer to the relevant product section or the following tables:
The properties, application conditions, and suitability of each sealing solution are also provided in the relevant product section.
Converting circumferential to rotational speeds
To convert the circumferential speed limit of a sealing solution to the equivalent rotational speed, refer to table 4.
The SKF Three-Barrier Solution
For highly contaminated environments, SKF recommends the three-barrier solution. This cost-effective sealing solution can have a significant impact on bearing service life as contaminants have to pass through three barriers to reach the bearing (fig. 1):
- 1st barrier – external housing seal
- 2nd barrier – housing grease
- 3rd barrier – integral bearing seal
The SKF Three-Barrier Solution consists of a sealed SKF bearing, a housing with a 70 to 90% grease fill, and labyrinth housing seals.
Sealed bearings have integral contact seals that keep the lubricant in and contaminants out of the bearing cavity during operation. The seals also protect the bearing from the ingress of contaminants during installation. Using a sealed bearing also means that the grease used to fill the housing and labyrinth seals is independent of the lubrication requirements for the bearing. Therefore, environmentally friendly, biodegradable greases, such as SKF LGGB 2, can be used to fill the housing (→ Lubrication solutions).
When the SKF self-aligning bearing system is used, the labyrinth seal for the CARB toroidal roller bearing should be replaced with a taconite seal.

The annual income for a rented property has to cover a certain percentage of the mortgage repayments, the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) states that landlords should seek to be able to obtain gross rent returns equivalent to between 130 per cent and 150 per cent of the rental property's mortgage repayments, this takes into account the surplus rent to cover costs of property maintenance and slack periods when the property may be vacant of tenants.
Huntingdon Buy To Let Mortgages.
Some buy to let mortgage lenders in Huntingdon will lend you a maximum sum based on a multiple of your salary (usually a multiple of three) plus a percentage of the forecast rental income on the property. So if your annual salary is said 30,000 Franks and the forecast rental income is 10,000 Franks they will lend you 95,000 Franks. Other mortgages, in addition to factoring in your salary, will include any existing loan commitments you have, and then apply what is known as the 'deduction rule'. This rule relates to the annual mortgage payments worked out at a pre-set level of interest.
Buy to let mortgage interest rates are generally fairly close to residential mortgage rates but will generally be slightly higher and typically charge higher fees. This is due to the fact that buy to let loans are considered by the financial sector to represent a greater risk than residential owner-occupier mortgages, and they generally are.
The Situation in the UK About Buy To Lets
The buy to let market literally 'exploded' in the Huntingdon around the beginning of the millennium with rising property prices and the increasing availability of buy to let funding fueling a surge in would-be investors trying to cash in on the trend of the market. One reason for their popularity is the tax advantages that are available to the UK buy to let investors. Rental income is treated just like a salary by the Inland Revenue, and is therefore often taxed at 22% or even 40%. However, landlords are allowed to deduct costs from the taxable portion of their rental income, and these costs can include the interest of the buy to let mortgage repayments as well as maintenance costs on the property. These tax incentives made the buy to let market very attractive for both professional investors and amateurs looking to make the most out of their savings.
Would-Be Buy-to-let Investors
The market peaked around 2007 and now the market is saturated in many areas across the country with too many properties available to tenants. While buy to let is generally not a good idea for people who do not possess some extra budget there are a lot of remortgage deals which will fund a deposit for a home. If you are worried about losing money during void periods many companies will provide insurance which can deliver as much as six months mortgage payments in the event of a property in Huntingdon remaining unoccupied.
You may still be lucky, and find a hotspot but you need to do your homework and the figures correctly. Buy to let trends differ from town to town and literally from street to street. Good advice for potential investors is to visit the local letting agents who should be able to tell you who is renting what at the moment so you can define your target audience. It could be students, young professionals or families, for example. Look for areas that do have a shortage of properties and for indicators that people will move there, such as new business developments.
Buy to let mortgage deals are still rife and the rates are almost as competitive as with conventional deals. The mantra with your buy-to-let must be 'don't expect to get rich quickly'. You need to look long-term: an absolute minimum of five years – but probably nearer to ten years.
It's Rob from Property Investments UK.
In today's video we're going to be looking at what is professional buy to let and howit maybe could be suitable for yourselves or what to kind of consider and how to tryto find those great professional buy to let property deals.
So professional buy to letis quite simple in terms of, I suppose, the methodology or the type of deals it is.
Sobuy to let effectively, is buying a property to let out or to rent out.
The professionalaspect doesn't mean in terms of how professional or professional you are in terms of lettingit.
It's more referring to the tenant type of profile, so there's lots of different tenantprofiles within property of residential and commercial.
Specifically within residential property you could consider investing your money into aproperty deal that then rents out to maybe a student tenant or to what's classed as housingbenefits or local housing allowance tenants, social housing, also professional tenants,which is what the kind of professional buy to let property deals are that we look atwithin our property investments website.
Now when it comes to professional buy to lets,what we do mean with that is somebody that's really earning an income, a wage, and thatjob is effectively going to pay for their rent in that property.
There's a whole rangein terms of scale, so it could be somebody that's on an income of 10, 15, 20,000 a yearor somebody that's on an income of 50,000 plus a year.
It's just a category.
Professionalbuy to let just refers effectivity to somebody that's currently earning their way with anincome and that's what they're going to be using to pay for their rent.
Now on our website we have a number of different property deals, a number of different categories,everything from HMOs through to service accommodations.
Specifically though, with professional buyto lets, I'll pop below this videos some links and some details on what available propertydeals we currently have.
Now, typically on our website we only usually show one videoor, sorry, one property per category, but we do have many other opportunities available.
So if that particular property, is it maybe in the wrong area or you want to look at somethingslightly different, but you like the idea of a professional buy to let, simply sendus a message.
Give me a call and we can run through the different opportunities that wecurrently have that fit that particular type of category or strategy.
So hopefully that helps.
Any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
We just wanted to give youa bit of an idea of what professional buy to let property and what a ready to go kindof deal might look like.
And I put all of those kind of listings, those available dealsbelow this video with some links for you.
Any questions don't hesitate to ask and Ilook forward to catching up with you on the next video.
All the best.
FAQs on Ltd Co borrowing for buy to let
Hi I'm James Hill from The Locks Heath Property Blog and this is my Buy to Let Deal of the Week.
Now here I am in Lawson Close in Lower Swanwick where Walker & Waterer have just listed a three bedroom terraced house for offers in excess of £240,000.
Now it looks in really good condition with very little to do in order to get your first tenant.
As you can see from the photos it's got a recently refitted kitchen, a nice modern bathroom and what looks like recently fitted carpets throughout.
In today's rental market this property would rent out around £950 per calendar month.
If we times that rent by twelve to give us the annual rent and divide that by the asking price, in this instance £240,000, it gives us a nice healthy yield of 4.
As I said, this is a really good opportunity to snap this property up so get in touch with the guys at Walker and Waterer and they'll be happy to show you around.
If you want any further information about the Locks Heath property market give me a call on 01489 570011.
I'll see you soon.

Tooling Update
Pressure-Indicating Film Reduces Press Setup Time and Maintenance Costs
|This pressure image of the progressive die reveals that three of the four bumper blocks experienced pressure of 7000 to 20,000 psi, while one block failed to make contact, requiring a shut-height correction.
Proving this out is Shawn Eeles, general manager of Five Star Tooling, a progressive-die manufacturer in Ontario, Canada. Eeles, along with Mirco Graenert, of Mirco Graenert Consulting Inc., Newmarket, Ontario, put Pressurex through a 400-ton progressive-die trial to analyze its capabilities. They found that the film works as-specified in forming and piercing operations, identifying pressure points affecting tool balancing and die maintenance.
Five Star Tooling applied Pressurex to a 5-ft.-long progressive die used to stamp a structural automotive part. It applied the film between mating cutting and forming components as well as to bumper blocks, revealing local pressures that can be modified to optimize die balancing.
"Accurately balancing the die by obtaining pressure readings from the various operations results in higher quality dies and lower die-maintenance costs," says Graenert. "The restrike station, for example, often exerts a concentrated force near the exit side of the die. Unbalanced pressures can cause the die to 'kick,' causing premature fatigue, excess wear and subsequent cracking or breakage of die components. This can be minimized by using the pressure readings from the film and varying stripper pressures to balance the tool."
Pressurex, similar in thickness to ordinary paper, changes color directly proportional to the amount of pressure applied. Metalformers can determine pressure distribution by comparing the exposed sensor film to a color-calibration reference chart. Or, Pressurex readings can be further analyzed using Sensor Product's inhouse imaging service, or by leasing or purchasing its Topaq tactile-force-analysis system.
"The test proved," says Graenert, "that bumper blocks, areas near cutting edges, gradual forms, trim-cutting edges and restrike stations all can be thoroughly analyzed, giving vital information that enables better die balancing. For some dies, these pressure values, particularly combined with die knowledge, reveal what is 'unseen' and allow dies and other mechanical systems to be fine-tuned. This reduces their lifecycle maintenance cost and improves part quality and consistency."

Remember when I said that I was going to upload some easy tutorials on your favorite alien characters from the movies? Well, here is the first one I have for you. It's on "how to draw Predator easy", step by step. This tutorial has been on the back burner for a while. What I mean by that is, I always wanted to make a lesson on the Predator alien in a very simple manner because I know that he is one of the hardest aliens to draw. All the detailing and definition that is part of Predators design really makes him one of the more complex figures to recreate. Hopefully this tutorial on drawing Predator easy, will enable you to create your very own character without all the hassle and confusion. Again, this is only a head shot of the actual beast, which means the lesson will be even easier to tackle. Well, I guess that's it, I shall return once again with another lesson that you will love (or at least I hope you do). Adios amigos!

The idea is to break up your quilt into sections, so that at the end of it all you do not have a great big quilt to machine quilt or hand quilt, if that's how you wish to go.
Either way it can be very hard and very tiresome on your arms and back.
First off the quilt has to broken up into sections, so you must put some thought into how you will break up the sections,...on this particular quilt I decided to make it up in three long panels the full length of the quilt.... a middle panel section and two narrower panel sections on the sides.
You must first piece the quilt in the sections you have decided on, sandwich the top, batting and backing sections , baste and quilt the sections in your chosen method.
Measure and trim back the sections , making sure they will all fit together nicely.
Cut a strip of fabric one inch wide, that you chosen as your top sashing, in my case I am using black homespun....now cut a strip of the backing fabric one and a quarter inches wide for underneath, the extra 1/4 inch is so you have a bit more to work with there later....you will see why then.
Pin the strips of fabrics down one side of a section...top sashing fabric on the front and backing fabric to the back..stitch them down with a quarter inch seam down the edge.
I then pressed the strips outwards, the way they need to go to join onto the next panel piece.
Place the raw edge of the top sashing strip only to the top of the next section and pin well
Now carefully stitch the top sashing strip on.... 1/4 inch seam again....In keeping your seams to the 1/4 inch, they will meet in the middle and lay flat.
Press the top and there you have your top sashing on,
Now it's just a matter of turning under the raw edge of the back strip and hand stitching the strip in place...
You can also add borders in this way, all that's left to do is bind the quilt and it's done...
This quilt is a queen bed size, so for me it was much easier and better to handle in this Quilt-as-you-go method
I do hope that you can understand how I did mine, please email me if you get stuck along the way....

text: Dade Posted January 3, 2011 JustinAge: 39Hometown: Logan, UtahOccupation: Gym owner, city worker and bounty hunterBeing around as long as he can be for his family was Justin's primary motivation for trying out for "The Biggest Loser." Justin was born and raised in Cokeville, Wyoming, the middle child of 10 siblings, and attended Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho. He knew he wanted to change his life when he was watching the show last year and cried because he weighed more than the contestants did. It was an "aha moment" for Justin, who says he never cries, but didn't realize until that point what he looked like. Justin, who weighs 365 pounds, has always been heavy, and he and several family members have diabetes. Now married and the father of a 10-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter, the 39-year-old looks forward to shopping in regular stores, riding horses again, playing sports, and being able to do more with his kids once he loses the weight. RulonAge: 39Hometown: Logan, UtahOccupation: Gym owner and motivational speakerOlympic athlete Rulon was born and raised in Afton, Wyoming, the youngest of 10 children. He was overweight growing up but still in good shape from wrestling and playing football. He graduated from Nebraska University with a degree in physical education and went on to become an Olympic athlete, winning the gold medal for wrestling in the 2000 Olympics, and the bronze medal in 2004. Rulon says he gained the weight when he continued to eat like an Olympic athlete after he stopped training for the Olympic team. He knew he had to change his life when he tried to weigh himself and his 435-pound scale would not register his weight. Being diagnosed with sleep apnea and high blood pressure made it even more imperative that he lose weight. Now 39 years old, 474 pounds and married, Rulon looks forward to starting a family with his wife and getting into his jeep without straining after he's lost the weight. Season 9 winner Michael Ventrella inspired him because he made the commitment to get the weight off, despite being the show's heaviest contestant ever.

Intro to Queensland hotels and accommodations
Hotels in Queensland
With such a dazzling wealth of coastal beauty, it's no surprise that the accommodation in Queensland makes the most of its world-class beaches. There are luxury beach resorts in Queensland's south with exclusive access to premium strands. There are adventure hotels that offer superb water sports excitement. And there are stylish 5-star establishments that lay on fascinating cruises to see the wonders of reef and island. Those traveling here for conventions will enjoy first-class facilities in some truly fabulous business hotels. And those on a budget will find plenty of backpacker hostels in Queensland, whether in its resort cities or its remoter towns.
Things to see in Queensland
The Great Barrier Reef, with its dazzling displays of marine wildlife, is the must-see of any visit to Queensland. Known as the largest natural wonder of the world, its 3,000 kilometres of reefs, cays, and islets teem with colourful fish and intricate coral fronds. Whales, dolphins, turtles, and rays also swim in its turquoise waters. Another staggering display of biodiversity can be found in the tropical north of Queensland, at the Daintree National Park. Its lush rainforests are home to rare wildlife—such as cassowaries, platypuses, and forest dragons—and are crisscrossed by hiking trails. The largest sand island in the world, Fraser Island, offers a chance to race over acres of spectacular dunes, while the Whitsunday Islands provide superb snorkelling and scuba diving opportunities. But not all Queensland's sublime spectacle is wild—some of the finest Aboriginal rock art in the country can be found at the Carnarvon Gorge National Park.
Where to stay in Queensland
You'll find the best choice of accommodation in Queensland is at its capital, Brisbane. One of the nation's largest cities (and perhaps its most laidback), Brisbane is home to both high-brow culture and edgy alternative night-life—making it great for city-breaks for young and old. The Gold Coast is where Queensland gets serious about its beach culture, equally welcoming to families and surf-mad adventure-seekers. It also provides a little table-top excitement as night draws, in its many casinos. For those wanting to explore the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef, Cairns is the place to head. Its luxury beach resorts, fabulous restaurants, and chilled atmosphere also make it something of a romance hotspot.
How to get to Queensland
For those flying in, the main airports for interstate flights are in Brisbane, Cairns, and the Gold Coast. Less frequent, but still direct interstate flights can be taken to Mackay, Rockhampton, the Sunshine Coast, and Townsville. By car, those coming up the east coast will enter via the M1, which runs as far as the Sunshine Coast. This continues as the A1 all the way to Cairns. Travel to Queensland by car can take over 9 hours, from Sydney to Brisbane, and 20 hours if you're coming from Melbourne. The CountryLink/XPT rail service from Sydney takes 14 hours to reach Brisbane.

The Prairie Marsh Monitoring Program
The Prairie Marsh Monitoring Program is not currently conducting surveys. Anyone wishing to assist with monitoring birds should visit the Saskatchewan Breeding Bird Atlas website.
Wetlands are characteristic of the North American prairie and parkland landscape. About 10,000 years ago, when continental ice sheets receded from this region, they left the landscape pocked with countless shallow depressions commonly referred to as 'prairie potholes'. These potholes, permanently or periodically flooded with water, exist as wetlands. Wetlands provide essential ecological goods and they also offer valuable habitat for a diverse array of wildlife.
The same glacial event that created the region's pothole wetlands has contributed to the nutrient rich soils of the North American prairie and parkland. Favourable soil conditions, coupled with a suitable climate, have made this region particularly amenable to human settlement. As a result, the prairie and parkland region has experienced dramatic changes since the turn of the 20th century. Among these changes has been the considerable loss and degradation to wetland habitat, so much so that wetland losses range 50-90% in some areas. Unfortunately, the threat of wetland loss and degradation continues today.
The prairie pothole region has undergone extensive change in the past century. (K. Brewster)
Despite the remarkable landscape-level changes that have been made to prairie and parkland habitats, the area remains among North America's most important regions for birdlife. Pothole wetlands and adjacent uplands are particularly renowned for their significance to support populations of breeding and migrating waterfowl. Because of this, the region has earned the moniker 'the duck factory'. It is intuitive that many of the same features that make this region valuable to waterfowl also make it important to 'waterbirds', an assemblage that includes grebes, herons, rails (the so-called 'marsh birds'), as well as terns, cranes, and others. Over 30 species of waterbirds breed within the prairie and parkland; many of these species are thought to reach their highest densities within the region. Although there is an innate recognition of this region's importance to waterbirds, information regarding population distributions, species-habitat relationships, species abundance, and population trends is limited or completely lacking for many of these species. This gap in our understanding exists because annual or periodic surveys for waterbirds have not been thorough, nor have they occurred consistently. As a result, management agencies are limited in their ability to assess the state of waterbird populations and conservation partners are hindered in their efforts to further develop conservation planning.
In 2007, Bird Studies Canada met with members of the Prairie Habitat Joint Venture to discuss a collaborative effort to address information deficiencies for wetland-associated birds in the prairie and parkland region. As a result of these discussions, and with support from Wildlife Habitat Canada, the Prairie and Parkland Marsh Monitoring Program (Prairie MMP) was established. Currently program activities are geared toward determining the link(s) between waterbird species occurrence and habitat characteristics at various spatial scales. This information will serve efforts to conserve and manage habitats for wetland-associated birds, and represent initial and vital steps toward the development and implementation of a long-term waterbird monitoring program in the region.
Sora rails are commonly encountered during marsh bird surveys. (J. Conkin)

A great set of questions about Kindle Unlimited with great answers.
Amazon launched Kindle Unlimited on Friday, giving self-publishers a big decision to make.
The long-rumored subscription service will allow users to download unlimited books for $9.99 a month, and reader reaction has been, from what I can see, overwhelmingly positive – especially because they will be able to test the service with a month's free trial. Writers have been a little more cautious, for all sorts of reasons I'll try and tease out below.
The main stumbling block for self-publishers is that participation in Kindle Unlimited is restricted to titles enrolled in KDP Select – Amazon's program which offers various additional marketing tools in exchange for exclusivity. Author compensation will be similar to borrows under the Kindle Owners' Lending Library – a percentage of money from a fixed pool. The only real twist is that payment will be triggered when 10% of downloaded books have been read.

Shakira Pastry does pistachio two dozen ways
Arabic sweets shop in El Cajon picks up where baklava leaves off
Ian Anderson 2:45 p.m., Feb. 24
Dearest Matt:
I finally decided to do it and tie the knot. In planning the wedding ceremony, the subject of the unity candle came up. It seems really asinine to me, and I'm trying to get out of doing it. In doing so, I've been trying to find out the history of it. I can't find anything, which reinforces my original suspicion that it was made up by the Candle Manufacturers of America Ltd just to get some extra cash. O wise one, can you tell me the history/origin of the dreaded unity candle?
-- Bill H., the net
The candle manufacturers deny all charges, but they admit they know a good thing when it happens along. The unity candle happened along about 30, maybe 40 years ago, best we can tell. It seems to be principally an American and a Christian idea. For anyone unfamiliar, a unity candle is a large and expensively decorated candle lighted simultaneously by the bride and groom, each using a candle lighted by their mothers (or mothers and fathers). The mothers' candles may have been lighted by candles lighted by the grandparents, depending on how obsessed with symbolism you are and how big your candle budget is. The gesture represents the uniting of two families. It's also the last time all the in-laws will cooperate in any team effort. As an indicator of how eagerly the candle guys have embraced the idea, one wedding-gear catalog lists a unity candle for $40 and a unity candle specially designed for second marriages for $89.
The research elves have talked to herds of folks who have something to do with weddings -- planning them, performing them, selling stuff to people who plan and perform them -- and the true origin of the unity candle is still very, very fuzzy. It is not part of any religion's formal and official wedding ceremony. Two wedding coordinators believe the waxy rite was first used in Catholic churches and then spread like a grease fire. This might have been simultaneous with the big guitar Mass outbreak; the hippie era was the best thing to happen to the candle industry since invention of the power failure. But depending on their degree of conservatism, some Catholic churches today won't permit unity candles because it's not a traditional element of the wedding Mass.
So, Bill, I don't know where this leaves you and the lucky lady. I tried to find some horror stories of conflagrations or disfiguring wax burns caused by unity candles, but no luck. Maybe encourage your bride to have a surfside ceremony on a very windy beach. Or look deep into your heart and try to figure out why, with all the nonsense that accompanies a wedding, you picked this particular goofy thing to object to. You're not even married yet and already you're arguing about candles. What's going to happen with the big stuff?

British teenager admits killing teacher in class
LONDON – A British teenager who stabbed his teacher to death in a classroom has admitted responsibility for the killing.
The boy's defense lawyer, Richard Wright, said Friday the 16-year-old "accepted responsibility for the unlawful killing" of Spanish teacher Ann Maguire but didn't enter a plea.
The death of the 61-year-old Maguire was the first killing of a teacher in a British school since the 1996 Dunblane massacre in which a lone gunman killed 16 children and their teacher.
Maguire had taught at Corpus Christi Catholic College in Leeds, northern England, for 40 years and was planning to retire.
The boy, who was 15 at the time, appeared in Leeds Crown Court by video link. The court is preparing psychiatric reports before a murder trial expected in November.

I discovered two posts on Butterworth' discalculia theories (related to my previous post):
at the Lexify yourself… or a friend blog. Dyslexia and dyscalculia are issues sufficiently serious for making an honest discussion impossible. For me, an explanation lies in Stanislas Dehaene's a quip (in his book The Number Sense):
We have to do mathematics using the brain which evolved 30 000 years ago for survival in the African savanna.
There were no books in savanna, and arithmetic texbooks were even more conspicuously absent. There were no grand pianos in savanna, too. All that stuff was invented and developed later, in a tortuous trial-and-error process spreading over millennia. The results are not perfect, which is best witnessed by the insane English orthography, much contributing to the epidemics of dyslexia in this country. Well, orthography is like weather: you are free to criticise it, but cannot change.
Things become more complicated when social institutions –such as education system — are concerned; there is a strong resistance of vested interests — and politicians' unwillingness to invest extra money — to any suggestion of a systemic flaw.
Therefore I am pleased to find an ally in the famous pianist Heinrich Neuhaus. In his book The Art of PIano Playing he very explicitly describes mainstream music education as a combination of two processes:
- development of musical skills in a student;
- accumulation of neurological damage.
People who develop math phobia, and, I conjecture, a significant proportion of people who are diagnosed with dyslexia and dyscalculia, are no more than victims of neurological damage they suffered at early stages of their education.
I have a moral right to say this in a pretty brutal form because I am myself a fellow sufferer – I am, in effect, tone deaf. I have reasons to believe that my sense of musical pitch was destroyed during my primary school years by a perpetually drunk music teacher with his out-of-tune accordion. (I am Russian, and the system of mass music education in Russia was very patchy — I happened to grow up in a musically deprived area).
The fundamental flaw of all educational discourse is the undisputed and unmentionable assumption that education is always good, and that the influence of education is always positive. Any proposed reform is assessed by looking only at what it promises to improve; there are no compulsory checks for side effects and contraindications. In pharmacology, the same attitude to policy making would constitute a criminal offence. (This is why I reiterate that I refrain from any recommendations on educational policy.)

The nominations are set for the 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards. Now we can get excited about the fashions, the top prize winners and the triumphant return of hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
In honor of the two funny ladies coming back to the big show, Entertainment Weekly made Fey and Poehler guest editors. Of course, the former "SNL" stars and close pals wasted no time with the hysterical remarks.
Case and point: Fey responded that the classic duo they compare themselves to, based on chemistry, is Mary Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"When we're next to each other we like to hug each other a lot, like we're in the womb, and Tina's thumbprint matches my pinkie, because that's what we were like in the womb," Poehler answered.
NEWS: See the complete list of Golden Globe nominations
"But I do say the Olsen twins because unlike a lot of comedy duos, we're not opposites," Fey added. "There's a lot of overlap in what we like and even in the way we perform, to a certain extent. We're not Martin and Lewis. We're like Derek Jeter and A-Rod."
As for a third cohost for the big night, the comediennes shared several suitable options.
"I feel like we'd probably pick an 'SNL' person because we feel comfortable knowing that they could hang," Poehler said. "But who knows? Maybe we get that kid Jennifer Lawrence, who I find a total delight."
"Give her a shot!" Fey interjected.
"She was hilarious on 'The Daily Show,'" Poehler added. "Honestly, almost every person we've ever worked with, I feel like we'd be super-psyched to see."
Fey also thinks that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck would be great dream choices as well.
WATCH: Tina Fey "not doing anything" to prepare for 2014 Golden Globe Awards
Fey and Poehler will take the stage on Sunday, Jan. 12--start the countdown!--and even offered a sneak peek about what fans can expect.
"We're going to encourage people to go real long on their speeches," Poehler joked.
"I'm going to tell people to find it. Don't stop talking until you 'find it,'" Fey revealed.
The new issue of Entertainment Weekly will be available on newsstands on Dec. 13.

" It was the best car buying experience I have ever had. They don't pressure you. They show you the vehicles and let you test drive. They provide financial options and also you may not have to have a down payment. They make it so easy. They also made a delicious cake that I could not eat because I was on a diet. My family enjoyed the cake. I recommend Frontier to anyone looking to buy a car. "
" Recently bought a 2019 Honda Ridgeline, low mileage, and the staff (Calvin and Rafik) were friendly and easy to converse/work with. Was happy with the price and the "WE OWE" items. "
" Great vehicles, low pressure and fair prices. Couldn't get much better. Ask for Dan Buccella by name--great guy to work with! "
" This is the third vehicle we've purchased from Frontier Motors and I can't recommend them enough. High quality, gently used vehicles, great inventory, no pressure sales, friendliest group of people around. We have always been made to feel like family! "
" The easiest, and friendliest, car buying experience I've had. Checked reviews and drove from Montgomery to purchase a car from Frontier. Reviews were spot-on as Calvin and Darren were professional, courteous, and mindful of our time knowing we had a long drive back home. Would absolutely purchase from Frontier again. "
" I bought a great truck at a reasonable price. Process was quick with no pressure. They have quality vehicles with a surprisingly large inventory. "
" Frontier Motors helped me get an approximate value of my father's car who lived in Virginia and has recently passed. It took about 10 minutes, and they explained every variable since they didn't have the actual car to check out. Absolutely no pressure to buy anything or to come back to buy anything. Salesman Rob Ballard was just happy he could help me. I bought a car from them in 2000, and it was the best car buying experience I ever had before or since. I will purchase from them again when I'm in the market for a used car, and will continue to recomend everybody who asks me to check out Frontier Motors. "
" As a first time buyer of a used car, I entered a bit nervous about buying from a car lot. But I was sooo wrong. Frontier Motors is the best! Scott Ford (sales) was extremely easy to work with....not pushy. He took his time asking questions to narrow down our search for the best car for me. About 30 minutes into our conversation, he found one he thought would be appropriate. I test drove the Jeep and shortly after that I said "sold". He then referred me to Brian Merritt (finance). Brian was very straight forward providing me with a great finance program and additional information regarding warranties, etc. Both men were extremely polite and straight forward. I strongly recommend Frontier Motors...especially Scott Ford and Brian Merritt. My thanks to both gentlemen and Frontier Motors. "
" Haven't purchased from them...yet...but great team, no pressure, and responsive...good people! "
" What a great place to look for a new used car. So helpful and patient. Calvin was my contact. He made a personally difficult situation much easier. I HIGHLY recommend this place. Kudos to all. "
" As others have said, buying a car is usually quite an ordeal. Not so at Frontier Motors. I bought a car today in about and hour and a half and it was a wonderful experience throughout the entire process. Calvin is extremely polite and quite the gentleman and Brian (Finance) explained everything in detail without confusing me and no one tried to sell me anything I didn't want. I'm still in awe by how smooth their process is - Thanks guys! "
" Scott Ford has helped me several times purchase the right car or truck for my needs. Super helpful, always courteous and delivers on his word. Still driving 3 vehicles that I have purchased over the years. Satisfaction guaranteed when you deal with Scott and Frontier Motors. "
" We have purchased 4 SUVs from Frontier over the last 17 years. Still driving the first one we bought in 2003 and it's got 260K miles on it now. They sell good, quality vehicles and they are low pressure and easy to work with. "
"Love my new to me car."
" This car was just what I was looking far and at the right price. It was ment to be mine. My last car I had kept for 15 years I hope to be able to do the same with this one. "
" Let's be honest, car shopping is usually the worst. It's time consuming, frustrating and you usually feel like you're being tricked by someone trying to make a commission... but I felt none of those frustrations when buying from Frontier. I went there one afternoon to look around and when I didn't find what I wanted I let Jake know what I was looking for in a new SUV and listed out what my "non-negotiables" were. A week later, Jake contacted me letting me know they took in a car that checked all my boxes. After driving the car, I sat down with Brian, who handled the remainder of the paperwork which was quick and painless. Once I got my keys Jake sat with me going through every option on my new car and showing me how to work it all and get set up before driving off the lot. Every person I worked with went above and beyond. You can tell they have worked to master a process with the customer experience in mind. I truly had such a wonderful experience with everyone I encountered at Frontier. They wanted to ensure I got exactly what I wanted and put in the time and effort to make it happen. I don't typically leave reviews, but I feel that a job well done deserves recognition. "
" Scott Ford with Frontier Motors is always helpful when we're car shopping and really takes care of the friends and family I send his way. Their no pressure sales model makes it much less stressful to buy a car - all the cars are unlocked and they let you check out everyone without a salesman breathing down your neck pressuring you to buy. And Frontier has a TON of options! "
" Because of mechanical issues with our vehicle, my husband and I were "just looking" to get an idea for our next car. Little did we know, by the end of a stressful day it was obvious the new car was needed that day. No one could have been more patient and helpful than Rick Jones and Brian Merritt. The professionalism of the people at Frontier Motors is why we are returning clients. "
" A seamless and pressure less transaction. They were very thorough explaining the financing and warranties. "
" I bought a 2017 Honda Pilot in May 2019 and have been very happy with my purchase. The SUV was in great shape and Frontier motors actually called me back to get the break light fixed because the part had just come in after I took the car home. I didn't even notice that the tail light was cracked. The only issue was getting the title to the car, but Frontier motors gave me temporary tag until it was straightened out. The staff was very friendly and was recommended by a friend and would recommend to others as well. "
" The personnel are helpful and polite. The best place in Pensacola to find just the right vehicle. This was the second car I purchased here. "
" Good Poke Stop. Team Rocket was there hence the 3. I did manage my first victory. Cars are pretty well represented. Fine business otherwise. "
" Jake Herndon and Brian Merritt are wonderful and honest people. It is always a pleasure doing business with Frontier! "
" Highly recommend this place if you're looking to buy a quality car for a great price! The personnel at Frontier Motors went out of their way to make my car buying experience hassle free and enjoyable! I love my new car! "
" Bought a van here in 2017. Needed to sell it for something else and they gave me a great deal buying it back. I was in and out very quick! I will be looking to buy more vehicles from them based on my experiences and a lot of my friends who referred me here. "
" In the day & age we live in. It is really nice to go to somebody old school..trusted... They will show you exactly what they can buy a car for and resell it to you at a minimal profit .. these guys are truly providing a service to the community "
" To preface, our family's most dependable of our two owned vehicles was completely totaled in an accident where a careless driver slammed into us. After checking out multiple dealerships and feeling as though they all came up short, we stopped in at Frontier because a family member told us about how amazing and accommodating they were when she purchased her own vehicle! As soon as we pulled into the lot, we were greeted by Rick Jones who went above and beyond to get us into a parking spot, find out our situation and what we were looking for in a new vehicle, price point, etc... The first car Rick showed us checked all of the boxes but we decided we wanted to look at something just a little bit bigger and Rick directed us to the Dodge Caravan which was the dream car we had been looking at in the other lots we'd visited. Frontier had the best price, the best warranty, and the friendliest, fastest service that we could possibly ask for! We took the Caravan out for a test drive, drove back into the lot, and got started on our paperwork with Rick! He gave the kids fidget spinners and later some sweet treats to keep them preoccupied and happy throughout the paperwork, and then as a first time purchase treat we also got an amazing German baked good treat that we found out is a family specialty they like to share with customers! Everything about our experience buying from Frontier Motors was above and beyond and we couldn't be more pleased, Frontier Motors and specifically Rick Jones was a blessing and we will definitely recommend and use Frontier exclusively in the future when looking to purchase new vehicles! "
" Our most dependable vehicle was totaled by a careless driver and we desperately needed a new car ASAP to take its place. We went to several other dealerships but they all fell short on what we were looking for as well as price range and warranty offerings. Our last stop was Frontier Motors which was recommended to us by a family member who had an amazing and super accommodating experience with purchasing her vehicle from them, and we were hoping to have the same experience. As soon as we pulled into the lot, Rick Jones greeted us and directed us to a parking spot; then promptly asked about our situation, price point, what we were looking for, and got to showing us cars! The first car he showed was great and checked all of the boxes, but we decided we wanted something a little larger-built. Then he directed us to a Dodge Caravan which was everything that we wanted! We test drove it, brought it back into the lot, and got started on the paperwork! Rick was so helpful and went above and beyond every step of the way to give us what we wanted and needed! Frontier Motors offers the best prices, best selection, best warranty coverage, and best customer service that you could ask for! Even gave the kids treats and fidget toys to keep them busy through the process. Then we got an amazing German baked good that is their family specialty that they share with first time customers!!! We will be back at Frontier exclusively when looking for vehicles in the future and we highly recommend going to them for your own vehicle needs!!!! "
" Monroe and his team went above and beyond to make our vehicle purchase an enjoyable one. We will definitely be back in the future! "
" Rob Ballard was a great person to work with. Very professional and informative. Will recommend Frontier Motors to any one looking to buy a vehicle. "
" Just bought my dream car from Frontier yesterday and it was the best experience I've had with a dealership. Matt was friendly, honest, and never pressured me at any point. They gave me exactly what I was hoping for on my trade-in and a good deal on a beautiful mustang. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new car! "
" Great deals, great personnel. Rafiq handled everything in a very personal and professional manner. "
" I was in a rush to sell my car due to being stationed overseas. Betsy from Frontier Motors reached out, arranged everything, and connected me with Munroe. They were all very professional, I was able to get my asking price and was in and out in a matter of minutes. Strongly recommend for selling and buying cars. Thank you for the easy process. "
" Matt Fromsdorf was wonderful, helped my husband find the exact car he was looking for. Brian Merritt got us quickly through the paperwork and Monroe took our picture to help celebrate the moment. What a great place - full of great people. Thank you so much. "
