Forgive me for this long post but it is composite of multiple posts
Some recent posts about rod ratings and rod characteristics causes me to post this thread. I was going to simply post a link to where I explained the three main rod properties but it is not allowed so I thought I would post what I had written on other BBs.
The discussion was around the following video:
"The confusion about the strength of fly rods is that most fly fishers do not know the difference between the line rating of a fly rod, the power rating of a fly rod, and the fly rod action. They assume that rod power either refers to the line rating or the fly rod action with a fast action rod being a higher power rated fly rod.
What was being tested in the video was not the line rating or the fly rod action but the fly rod power. Rod Power is the ability of the fly rod to lift dead weight. It is not line rating or fly rod action. The seminal article on the difference between rod line rating, action, and power was in an interview of fly rod designers from several major companies including Seim of Sage, Steve Rajeff of GLoomis. I refer you to Fly Rod & Reel Magazine, June 2004, Vol 26, #3, pp 36-71.
You will notice that when the last rod broke, it broke in the butt. That is exactly where a properly designed progressive action fly rod should break when under a lifting load.
This illustrates the difference between casting a fly line and fighting a fish. We cast a fly line with the upper third and sometimes into the middle third of the fly rod. But we fight powerful fish with the lower third of the fly rod. Said another way, it is the butt section of a fly rod that provides the power to lift dead weight or to fight big fish. So unless you are high sticking (see the discussion of rod angle below), a rod should progressively bend and shift the load toward the butt until it fails.
With that in mind, we can see that all companies have the ability to make a powerful fly rod. It is not so much a function of the casting ability of the rod but more a function of the strength of the butt section of the fly rod. When you make a strong butt section though, you do add weight to the rod with additional hoop fibers.
While on the subject of rod power, I also think there is a misunderstanding of line rating and rod action. I read all the time that over lining a rod will turn a fast action rod into a medium action rod.
That simply is not true. Action is how the rod bends under a progressive load; it is the flex profile of the fly rod. The flex profile is designed into the fly rod and as long as the fly rod does not break, it has the same action regardless of load.
What we are changing by changing the fly line is the load. A fast action rod with a higher load is still the same fast action rod with a lighter load. It will still have the same flex profile.
All fly rods responds to the load or the work it is doing. If casting a fast 4 wt rod with a 4 wt line 45 feet requires the same load or energy as casting a 6 wt line 25 ft, why would we call the rod a fast action rod while casting a 4 wt line and a moderate action rod while casting the 6 wt line?
What changes is the timing and stroke length of the cast. So although the timing slows down and the stroke length increases with increasing loads, the action remains the same. When you hook the fish, you will still have the flex profile of a fast action fly rod with a stiffer rod tip.*
It an older post below I explained the difference between rod power and line rating. It contains some of the information above and a discussion of rod angle:
'Allow me to explain. Let's go back to the initial video of Tim Rajeff testing the power of his fly rods. Suppose that we did the same test from a bridge and we attach a weight to the end of a leader. We are substituting a weight for a fish. We want to lift the weight which is analogous to pulling a fish toward us. The rod is lifting/pulling and not casting and the this is called the power rating of the rod. Power is the ability of the rod to lift a dead weight.
The lifting power of a rod is related to the strength of the butt section of the rod, whether a fly rod, a casting rod, or a spinning rod. In the example above, if we say that the 0 degrees is horizontal to the water surface with +90 vertical being tip up and -90 vertical being butt up, any lifting angle that is positive places stress point toward the upper portion of the rod and any negative angle places the stress point toward the butt. The larger the positive angle, the stress moves more toward the tip; and the greater the negative angle, the stress moves toward the butt. Consider that if the angle is -90 with the tip down and the butt up, there is no stress on the rod at all, all of it is on the reel.
If the rod has a high power rating we can lift the weight by raising the rod above the horizontal. If the power rating is low we need to keep the lifting angle below 0. For example, we can lift the weight in increments by lifting the rod form -90 to -85, then crank the line that we have gained as we lower the angle back to -90 and then repeat the process. It would take a long time but that is because the power of the rod is low.
The taper of the rod determines how progressively the power (resistance to bending) of the rod is transferred to the butt section. Faster rods have a thicker butt section because they are stiffer and a greater taper from tip to butt. Similarly a longer rod will have a thicker butt section than a shorter rod of the same action. Since the action is determined by the taper, to make the rod longer, the taper makes the extra length of the rod at the butt end thicker.
To give a shorter rod the same lifting power of a longer rod, you need to increase the taper of the rod. So although you can design a short 7' 7" 9 weight rod to have good power, a 9 ft rod with that same degree of taper would have a higher lifting power.
Line rating is related more to the tip section rather than the butt section of the rod since the flex of the tip must balance the line for the rod to cast well. A slow rod will have a very gradual taper and this will result in a relatively low power rating for the rod - it will bend way into the butt. A fast rod will also cast the the same line but since it has a faster taper, it will have a thicker butt section that is more resistant to bending and therefore it will have more power. So two identical line rating but two different power ratings. Similarly you can two rods with the same power and different line ratings. They are both dependent on the action of the rod and the length of the rod.
I hope this explains more fully the difference between a rods line rating and power rating."
A poster then wrote, "I highly doubt most people will ever break rod at the butt like they were doing"
I replied, "I agree because most people don't know how to fight a fish. Cast the rod with the tip and middle and fight the fish with the butt. It is ignorance that makes them think you cast and can fight bigger fish with the same part of the rod.
Fact 1 - The part of the rod that breaks is that part that is overstressed. That is obvious.
Fact 2. - What is also obvious is that stress should be transferred to gradually lower on the blank where there is more "power" if you don't want your fly rod to break.
Now if you accept those two facts, a rod break in the upper portion of the rod is due either to a defect in that section of the rod such as an casting injury by being hit by something solid like a split shot or weighted nymph OR it is operator error such as a loose ferrule, high rod position, etc.
See the section on rod angle that I talked about earlier. Rod angle to the direction of pull determines where the rod stress is going to be. Now here's the thing. How many times have you heard that a heavier line rating rod can put more pressure on a fish than a lighter line rated fly rod?
Actually the truth is that both rods are limited by the breaking strength of the tippet. If you point the lighter fly rod right at the fish, you can put 80 lbs of pressure on a fish as long as the tippet is 80 lbs and the reel drag can pull 80 lbs. So rod angle determines how and where the rod stress is. It determines where the rod breaks.
As to rod breakage, we need to differentiate between longitudinal rod blank fibers that go from the butt to the tip VS the hoop fibers that are at an angle and wrap around crosswise to the longitudinal fibers. The longitudinal fibers are the 'high modulus' fibers that rod makers brag about. The hoop fibers bend around the rod so they CANNOT be as stiff unless they wrap around the rod at a very shallow angle. A higher angle gives greater hoop strength so these fibers tend to be fiberglass or lower modulus graphite. Hoop fibers prevent the rod from delaminating and exploding.
When a rod, which is a cylinder bends, the tube is deformed so that if you were to take a cross section it would not be a circle but an oval with the wide side of the oval along the inner and outer circumference of the rod blank. This stress wants to separate the longitudinal fibers and the circular hoop fibers keeps the the longitudinal fibers from separating. The longitudinal fibers are called the flag and the hoop fibers are called scrim fibers.

The Race to Resonate Reading between the "lighter, faster, stronger" lines
Here is a practical application of what I wrote above. Many years ago, I took a trip to Alaska and stayed at the Copper River Lodge.
This was before I really understood the the relationship between rod line rating, action, power.
All my friends were fans of the "new" original GLoomis GLX which was the lightest fly rod at that time. I took 2 rods, both GLX 10 footers. One was a 5 weight and the other was a 7 weight that I was thinking was going to be my go to rod with the 5 as the backup.
During the trip I never used the 7 weight and I caught big rainbows with the 5 weight without any problem.
I mentioned to Gary Borger that I never had to use the 7 weight and I never felt out gunned on those rainbows. He said that because my rod was 10 feet long, my 5 weight had the butt diameter of a 9 foot 7 weight rod. So it casted like a 5 weight, but could pressure a fish like a 7 weight. After he said that, it was obvious to me that a rod that was a foot longer would have a thicker butt section than a shorter rod of the same model and action.

" Earl of Mar Estate, Bishopton, Nr. Glasgow, PA7 5NW. Tel:0141 812 9999 "
I have just returned from a weekend at the Mar Hall Hotel, Bishopton and I just had to write a review to let you know of this beautiful hotel's existence. To be honest I had never heard of the place until friends suggested a weekend break which also included 2 hours of treatments in the spa attached to the hotel.
The hotel is 5 star and is approximately 20 minutes drive from Glasgow city centre or, if arriving by plane, about 10 minutes from Glasgow airport. If you are wealthy enough to have your own helicopter then the hotel can accommodate you too as it has a helipad in the grounds. The hotel was formerly part of the Earl of Mar's estate and is located at the end of a long winding drive. The main building is an impressive 19th century Gothic mansion that was built in 1828 and two deer statues adorn the lawn in front of the entrance. As soon as we drove up the staff came out to greet us and help us in with our luggage.
The entrance steps lead you straight to the reception area but just beyond you have your first glimpse of the wonderful Grand Hall Gallery. The Grand Hall has large picture windows, beautiful drapes and ornately decorated high ceilings. The furniture comprises large comfy chairs and sofas where you can relax, read the paper or have a light lunch or snack which are available from midday till 4pm. The windows provide great views to the well manicured lawns and tiered gardens. In the evening a pianist provides background music on the grand piano. It was Halloween the night we stayed and it rather shattered our illusion of our grand surroundings when the pianist smiled as we passed and displayed a set of fangs and had "blood" dribbling from his mouth!!
The hotel has 53 bedrooms and suites. The majority of the rooms are in the original part of the house, however a number of bedrooms are in the spa area of the hotel which was added on about 4 year ago. As we had booked spa treatments, our bedrooms were in this part of the hotel which was good as this meant we could wander round in our fluffy white bathrobes and slippers, provided by the hotel. Although they are happy for you to wander in this attire in the spa area it is certainly not allowed in the main areas of the hotel.
Our rooms were spotlessly clean and very spacious. My room had a large bay window with views over the River Clyde and the Old Kilpatrick hills. We also overlooked part of the new 18 hole golf course that only opened this summer. Located within a cabinet was a TV, DVD player, a mini fridge, a coffee percolator and various teas and coffee to suit varying tastes. A very contemporary looking CD player was provided on the bedside cabinet but I think it would be good if they mentioned this fact in their advertising material so that you would know to take some CDs with you. The en-suite bathroom was about half the size of the bedroom and comprised a large walk-in shower, two wash-hand basins, a toilet and bath. Aveda toiletries were provided and their products are also used in the spa. Three of us were sharing a triple room and I was slightly disappointed to see that the third bed was actually a sofa bed. It certainly was a large, comfy sofa but I still think that for the money we were paying I should have had a proper bed to sleep in. The price per person for 3 sharing was £255 each (including meals and spa treatments) hence the reason I thought I would have a bed! Those of our party who were in double rooms paid £275 each. It is certainly not a destination you would choose for a cheap weekend break but for a special treat it certainly was worth it. Two of our party who were not having spa treatments had a room in the main part of the hotel. They said that their room had similar décor but was smaller than those in the spa area.
The Cristal dining room, where we had all our meals, was large and had views over the garden. On quizzing the waitress about the covered walkway that we could see, she informed us it led to where the Hello and OK magazine shoots usually took place. She did mention that previous guests, amongst others, had included Brittany Spears and Bruce Springstein. The food was nice and main courses provided an option of meat, fish or vegetarian. The portions didn't appear very large but once eaten, proved to be quite filling. Breakfast was a choice of buffet or served at your table. We opted for the former and were delighted with the choice of both hot and cold dishes. The fresh fruit was stunning - not an adjective I'd normally use to describe fruit, but that's how it looked!
The Aveda Concept Spa, as mentioned earlier, is reached from the main part of the hotel by lift and then a maze of corridors. It has a reception area which also doubles as a shop selling the Aveda products. You are advised to arrive 10 minutes prior to your first treatment. This is to allow time to fill in a questionnaire about yourself and any aliments or surgery you may have had in the past. To complete the form you are shown to a room with sofas and coffee machine. Alternatively you are taken straight to the waiting area prior to having your treatment. This is a large room with subdued lighting and armchairs. There is a screened area at one end of the room with large wicker loungers, comfy mattresses, pillows and blankets. This is where you can relax and unwind after a treatment and I for one, found it a great place to chill out and have some "me" time.
There are 12 treatment rooms and you are taken to your room by the beauty therapist who is treating you. There are lots of treatments available - facials, massages, reflexology, rejuvenation treatments, make up lessons and so much more. There is even a Mud Chamber where mud is applied to your body whilst heat and steam and used to open the pores. All treatments start with having your feet washed as this is part of the Aveda Concept and I certainly found it a relaxing start. One of my treatments was reflexology which is performed on the soles of the feet. By the time the therapist started on my second foot, I was fast asleep on the table!
There is also a swimming pool in the spa area. However, I only got as far as dipping my big toe in to it as those who had ventured in said the water was really cold. I decided that I didn't want to spoil the lovely relaxed way I felt by jumping into cold water. There was also a steam room but I cannot comment on this as I didn't venture in. Adjacent to the pool area was a gymnasium with all the usual equipment, so if you are into treadmills etc, you will not be disappointed.
Finally, I must comment on the staff. Everyone, with hotel or spa staff, was so friendly and helpful which certainly makes a pleasant change these days. Would I go again? Absolutely. In fact, we have all started saving so we can return again next year. It will take us that long to save up.

WASHINGTON - Fresh signs that factories are coming back to life and a bank CEO's encouraging outlook fueled more hopes Thursday that the economy may soon emerge from the cellar, briefly lifting the Dow Jones industrials over 8,000 for the first time in two months.
The job market, among the last to turn around in an economic recovery, remains weak, though. New claims for unemployment last week were worse than forecast, and today's reading on how many jobs the nation lost in March is widely expected to be grim.
The Commerce Department said orders for manufactured goods rose 1.8 percent in February, reversing six straight monthly declines.
Economists expect today's jobs report to show U.S. employers cut 654,000 jobs in March, with the unemployment rate rising to 8.5 percent from 8.1 percent.

PHILADELPHIA -- After coming up short in his bid to unseat California Gov. Pat Brown in 1962, Richard Nixon uttered these famous not-so-last words to his presumed media tormentors: "You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore."
That statement could have been recycled when Nixon resigned as president in 1974 over the Watergate scandal, becoming the only sitting president to step down.
In some ways, heavyweight boxing is like politics. Sometimes it's up, sometimes it's down. It all gets back to the talent and charisma of the candidates seeking the public's support. Sad to say, but boxing's flagship division resembles an old, scuffed football used primarily for punting practice.
Saturday night in Madison Square Garden, two Eastern Europeans holding shares of devalued heavyweight stock square off in the first unification bout involving titled big men since Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield rumbled in 1999.
And, no, that sound from midtown Manhattan isn't the sort of buzz usually affiliated with major heavyweight bouts in an arena that immodestly bills itself as the Mecca of boxing.
It's more like Zzzzzzz.
"People need one champion, like Rocky Marciano and Mike Tyson," said Boris Grinberg, who manages Sultan Ibragimov (22-0-1, 17 KOs), the WBO champion from Tlyarata, Russia.
Ukraine's Wladimir Klitschko (49-3, 44 KOs), who, at 6-6 and 238 flat-bellied pounds, certainly looks the part of an all-time great, has yet to grab the division by the throat and make it his own, as did Marciano, Tyson, Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali. Even if the IBF champ disposes of Ibragimov like yesterday's trash in the HBO-televised bout, that is not likely to change.
"It's frustrating," said Klitschko's Hall of Fame trainer, Emanuel Steward. "Wlad should transcend boxing. I consider him one of the best heavyweights in history. He moves well and he's an accurate puncher."
But . . .
"There are no 'names' out there," Steward said of the lack of a genuine marquee opponent. "So he has to try to be the unified champion. Through all the years we have been working together, we talked about what to do, how to do it. We knew that the best shot (at widespread acceptance) was to unify the title. We had to fight another champion. That is the only way to prove that Wlad is the best."
It'd be a reasonable strategy, too, if only Ibragimov didn't have that double chin, unimposing physique and eerie resemblance to Barney Rubble. At 6-2 and 219 pounds, he's also at considerable height and weight disadvantages against a man generally considered to be the best heavyweight on the planet.
Unfortunately for Klitschko, being a heavyweight champion one of four alphabet belt-holders, anyway does not have the cachet it did 12 or 15 years ago.
, when Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis and Riddick Bowe were part of one of the golden ages of heavyweight boxing.
But Tyson became uninterested, Holyfield got old, Bowe got fat, and Lewis now puts people to sleep with his bland television commentary instead of having them remember his crushing overhand right.
Should Klitschko get past Ibragimov, as expected, his next defense would be against Russia's Alexander Povetkin (15-0, 11 KOs), who recently won an IBF elimination bout with Philadelphia-based Eddie Chambers.
Should Klitschko survive that, he could push for additional unification bouts, although that road always is full of potholes and detours. But even if he were to get it on with WBA champ Ruslan Chagaev (24-0-1, 17 KOs) and WBC ruler Oleg Maskaev (34-5, 26 KOs), it wouldn't mean as much as some might think. Those guys could link arms and march down Broadway at rush hour and all they'd probably receive would be a police citation for parading without a permit.
It would help, of course, if a viable American challenger arose from the confusion. But The Ring's top 10 heavyweights includes only one American, Tony Thompson (31-1, 19 KOs), who, at 36, can't be described as the fresh, exciting face American fight fans have been awaiting.

I am happy to report that Moon Bay was not affected much. We had power throughout the storm!!! Our cable and internet came back on the 16th. Our beautiful pool has been up and running since two days after the storm. We lost some trees (better views), the front fence which was being replaced soon anyway, and the fish cleaning station which will be replaced soon. Both of my places at Moon Bay were not damaged.
In Key Largo, most bars and restaurants have re-open. All of the restaurants and bars that you can easily walk to are open! I saw on TV last night that all of the Florida Keys now has power. Only small pockets don't have power for safety reasons. Even two of the hard hit restaurants, The Hideout and Snappers are open. The Hideout has the full menu. Snappers is doing a happy hour thing with a special menu while they rebuild at an amazing pace.
Hurricane Irma impacted most of the Florida Keys. The lower middle Keys (remember the Florida Keys is an island chain of over 100 miles) were affected the most. Key West is coming back really quickly and many restaurants and bars are open as well. We are going to Key West on Friday.
Diving and fishing will probably better than ever! The Keys locals don't look for a hand out, just a hand up, so please come and I assure you that you will be inspired!

We love so many different things about the Keys, including boating, fishing, diving, dining out and the beautiful sunsets.
Dean Lichtenwalner purchased this townhome in 2012
We have enjoyed Key Largo for many years and have made friends with other owners and guests at Moon Bay. After visiting them and going to a few parties at Moon Bay we knew it was an awesome place and were extremely lucky to find our incredible townhouse.
Sunset Oasis is perfectly located within Moon Bay and is one of the closest Townhouses to the Bay. In addition, it is just steps to the pool, community area, docks,Tiki hut and grill areas.

We left Virginia in 20-degree weather and arrived at Moon Bay in the 70's. Wow. Today in the 80's
The condo is delightful with everything we needed plus it's so well appointed.
We, so far, have taken Captain Sterling's Eco tour where we saw 6-8 manatee plus much more.
We recommend going to Robbie's Marina to see the tarpon. Great!, plus local arts and crafts.
Our last day the family went snorkeling at Pennekamp State Park. Lots of fun. For shoppers, there is Shell World, they have a bit of everything.
Thanks for a great break.
Andy & Emily
Our beautiful townhouse is centrally located in Moon Bay and is just steps from the bay, recreation area and pool. Moon Bay is located just north of the world famous Caribbean Club, great restaurants like Jimmy Johnson's Big Chill, Sundowners, Senor Frijoles, and Cactus Jacks. We often walk to all of these places. In addition to the many dining choices, Moon Bay is just steps from diving with Amy Slate and kayaking at Florida Bay Outfitters.
Our townhouse at Sunset Oasis at Moon Bay was perfect . The space was clean and airy. We were steps away from the pool, ping pong table room and the dock. It was great having a washing machine and dryer so easily assessible, particularly for keeping bathing suits and tables fresh. We sat in the screen porch each morning for coffee and in the early evening . The lights in the water on the dock make it easy to watch the fish swimming by and we even saw two manatees swim past us while we were standing on the dock. The kitchen had plenty of pans and plates, and the beds were comfy . The grounds are clean and the pool was great . Every restaurant we ate in was fabulous - Lazy Lobster, Big Chill, Sundowners and Sharkey's. This was a great setting for our vacation.But most importantly , the sunsets were amazing!
Moon Bay is super convenient to Pennekamp and Publix or Winn Dixie. The condo was furnished very nicely and stocked with all the things you will need. Fishing gear was provided at the condo and the dock/marina is well suited for casting a line and cleaning your catch. We enjoyed cooking our meals on the community grills and visiting with other travelers. Dean (the owner) was very responsive to all communications! Better than a hotel stay!
The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of extra blankets and pillows. The bath towels and beach towels were nice. The pool was clean and the water was warm. We had a wonderful time.
My family from Minnesota truly enjoyed our week in Key Largo.
The Townhouse was very clean, well equipped, spacious and comfortable.
We spent most of our time at the pool with the kids, and met some new friends. Everyone was very friendly. The permanent residents and vacationers enjoyed each other's interactions. It was a nice mix.
We brought our Jet Skis and tied them up at the Marina. There is no boat or trailer parking on site, so you will need to park a boat trailer a couple of blocks away at the Carribean.
Dean was very professional and easy to deal with. We had no issues.
We saw a manatee in one of the nearby canals while out riding Jet Skis, and several Iguanas kept an eye on us at the pool.
Nice stay. Good value. Gorgeous views. Nice pool. Very clean TH and grounds. I would book again. 5 stars for a reason.
Our family of 4 stayed at Sunset Oasis for a week during March. The town home was perfect for us. The view from the screened patio and the balcony is amazing. The beds were very comfortable after our busy days. Everything was spotless inside and out. The grounds at Moon Bay are very well maintained and it's amazingly quiet at night. The kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed the beautiful pool area. Our kids loved the basketball and tennis courts. We caught fish from the docks during the evening. Other people at Moon Bay were very friendly and made us feel welcome. There are so many things to do nearby. We went on a snorkel tour with Sundivers. We went on a shark fishing charter with Kay K IV Charters. They're awesome guys to fish with. We also went Kayaking at Paddle Islamorada and saw manatees, sharks, and so many fish directly under us. We ate dinners at Hobo's, The Lazy Lobster, The Big Chill, and the Fish House. Hard to choose a favorite. They're all great. We'll definitely try to book Sunset Oasis again when we return to the Keys. Dean was very friendly and prompt with information. Highly recommend!
We had such a great vacation here with our 3-year- old. The condo was immaculate and Dean had everything we needed and more. The location was great- we loved eating out on the veranda and looking at the water every morning. The two pools were really kid friendly and so were all the people in the complex. We felt so welcome! Thanks for everything!

Workshop 3: Plotting Your Fiction Career: 12 Steps to Becoming a Successful Novelist
Janice Thompson (right) encouraged a crowded room with her writing journey in her Thursday evening workshop elective at the 2011 ACFW Conference. Thompson had been writing for many years when, in 1998, she was encouraged to define what success in writing looked like for her. Seventy-six books later, she is still committed to a heart obedient to the call of God in her writing.
Twelve steps to making it happen
As much as you want to be used by God, He wants to use you even more.
- Defining success is the first of 12 specific steps to becoming a successful novelist. Thompson emphasized keeping this first step in focus and committed to God while working on the other steps collectively.
- Practice goal-setting. Thompson calls this "realistic dreaming." Every aspiring author needs to map out where they want to be in one year, three years, and even in five years—otherwise, how will you know if you've arrived? Once long-range goals are set, daily goals of word count, editing hours, etc., can be set to reach the strategic goals.
- Learn the craft, learn the business, and pay your dues. Thompson shared her motto: "Do the work. Do it well. Do it in a timely fashion." She stressed the importance of attending conferences, taking online courses, and finding a critique group. She reminded the class it is important for iron to sharpen iron, but it shouldn't slice your heart! She also said there are no shortcuts worth taking when it comes to the hard work of writing and rewriting if a novel is going to be all it can be.
- Discover and establish your voice. New writers are tempted to try and sound like their favorite bestselling author, but Thompson said it is an honest personality and voice that must shine through, and this can only be done with writing, writing, and more writing.
- Look and act like a pro. Everything from business cards, to one-sheets, to queries, to blogs and websites should show excellence and professionalism, while keeping an author's own personal style and voice.
- Pitch sellable ideas. Do the homework before approaching agents and editors. Having a clear and thorough understanding of genres and subgenres and the markets available will save an aspiring author a lot of heartache and backtracking. Thompson cautioned against writing for what is hot right now, but it is important to know what publishing houses and retailers are looking for.
- Work with an agent. A well-matched agent is in your court and committed to your book and your career. Thompson again stressed the importance of doing the homework and committing this search to God.
- Think about branding and taglines. Often authors shy away from this important step or stress over it. The other extreme is to not give it thoughtful consideration. She suggested some constructive brainstorming in helping find the perfect brand.
- Focus on career selling. Ultimately each writer must decide if they want a "one-hit wonder" or if they are willing to do the hard work of being a career writer. Publishing that first book is exciting; builder a writing career is life-changing.
- Garner readership. A writer must know their target audience and write a message to that audience. Readers will naturally gravitate to authenticity. Grow a tribe with authentic passion.
- Learn to do marketing and public relations. This is a scary step for many writers, but a lot of information is readily available for the willing student and today's market requires a strategic plan. Blog tours, book signings, and speaking engagements, along with a social media presence, all contribute to a strong marketing plan.
- Pray without ceasing. Thompson ended the session with an admonition to follow God's leading, understand the seasons of life He is guiding you through, and be willing to shift gears and refocus as He directs.

Distribution with framebuffer drivers, network drivers, and little else
I am looking for a Linux distribution with the following properties:
1) Runs on i586 compatible systems
2) Fits in less than 32MB of (flash) disk space (uncompressing to RAM is okay)
3) Has network drivers
4) Has framebuffer drivers
5) Is available in pre-built form
I intend to run a single application that pulls data from the network, formats it, and displays it. I have a few embedded x86 boards I would like it to work on. I can get a list of the graphics cards and network cards that would need to be supported at minimum, but I would prefer a system that just works with any reasonably common card that's out there.
I would prefer to avoid having to build the whole thing from source. Something I could just install, configure, and add my files to would be much easier. I've tried ttylinux, and it came close to meeting my needs, but the i486 version didn't have the drivers I needed, and the i686 version didn't boot (no cmov).
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Have a look at Slitaz, it is tiny (about 30MB with X, about 8MB without X) and comes with tools to remaster your own flavors, I have used it already for single purpose systems.
SliTaz looks like it will work perfectly! The base version has everything I need, and it will easily fit on my hardware. Thanks!

text: Hi Desai, The problem is that both searchList and searchEngineMap need to be just top-level definitions, with no indentation, like so: ... ++ [("M-s " ++ k, S.promptSearch P.defaultXPConfig f) | (k,f) <- searchList ] ++ [("M-S-s " ++ k, S.selectSearch f) | (k,f) <- searchList ] searchList :: [(String, S.SearchEngine)] searchList = [ ("g", S.google) , ("h", S.hoohle) , ("w", S.wikipedia) ] In the searchList case it does not even make syntactic sense to put searchList where you have it, at the end of an expression. In the case of searchEngineMap, the way you have wrote it is as if you are setting a field called 'searchEngineMap' within the configuration record, but the configuration record does not have such a field. Instead, you simply want to define a new function called searchEngineMap, which you can do by writing searchEngineMap method = M.fromList $ [ ((0, xK_g), method S.google) , ((0, xK_h), method S.hoogle) , ((0, xK_w), method S.wikipedia) ] unindented, by itself. I think there may be a few other errors in those configuration files but hopefully this will get you started down the right path. Feel free to ask for more help either here on this list, or in the #xmonad IRC channel on Freenode. If you are interested, it would probably also help you a lot to read just the first few chapters of a Haskell tutorial such as http://learnyouahaskell.com . -Brent On Sat, Oct 01, 2011 at 05:04:51AM -0500, Desai Shukla wrote: > These are my two attempts at getting Actions.Search to work: > http://sprunge.us/TYfX > http://sprunge.us/MXGH > > The first paste is with just Haskell code, and the second is with what looks > like syntactic sugar via the EZConfig module.

Although the first generation Google Glass has yet to see a wide release, Google has already unveiled the second generation of the device. Presented with a new hardware update, the redesign of the wearable augmented reality (AR) unit will now be compatible with existing prescription eyeglasses. Further additions include an external mono earbud that replaces the previous bone-conduction speaker from the first prototype.
Earlier in the week, the tech giant announced it would expand their current Explorer program, offering existing Glass users the chance to invite three friends in the U.S. to become part of the test group. For your chance to be enrolled in the program, head over here.

Like many young idealists, Eric Greitens wanted to make a difference. During college and afterward, he traveled to the world's trouble spots, working in refugee camps, serving the sick and the poor on four continents, from Gaza to Croatia to Mother Teresa's home in Calcutta, among others. Yet he could not prevent violence or save anyone from becoming a refugee; he could only step in afterward and try to ease the damage. So Eric joined the Navy SEALs and became an elite warrior.
In a moving and inspiring memoir, told with genuine humility, Eric offers something new in the history of military memoirs: a warrior who wanted to be strong to be good, only to discover that he had to be good to be strong. Throughout his SEAL training and deployments in Kenya, Thailand, Afghanistan, and Iraq, the lessons of his humanitarian work bore fruit. The result is a lesson for us all: the heart and fist together are more powerful than either one alone.
©2011 Eric Greitens (P)2011 Tantor
"This tale of [Greitens's] dual military/humanitarian effort could be paired with Rye Barcott's It Happened on the Way to War." (Library Journal)
"One of the best books on Audible"
I've been a member of Audible for several years, listening to a small library of books and this is one of the best by far. An inspiring and mesmerizing true story, the author recounts his time as a humanitarian volunteer in many of the worst spots on earth and his eight years with the US Navy SEALS. Greitens makes his philosophy of humanitarian compasion, backed up with force to ensure protection of those who need it, clear and relevant.
This book is a great example of what America could be if it didn't spend so much time wrapped up in partisan infighting.
It helps that the author reads his book, but his viewpoint and his character outshine even a rollicking good read about SEAL training, Mother Theresa, Oxford, the Bosnian and Ruanda genocides, and special ops in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Found myself looking for anything and everything else by or about this fellow.
"I hope everyone will read this!"
This is one of the best books I've read lately. It has inspired me to be better and do better. It tells of many things Eric Greitens has done in the private sector volunteering in remote corners of the world, his Navy Seal training and deployment. His views are uplifting and refreshing. You will not be disapointed, I couldn't turn this book on tape off until it was over and I wished there were 10 more hours to listen to. This is a great listen and I hope everyone decides to listen!
"A peaceful activists eyes opened"
I bought this book for my father, who is a big war fan. But on a long drive to Florida, my husband & I listened to it. Wow! As a peaceful activist I have always abhorred war. I wasn't sure I would find anything in common with someone who had become a SEAL. I was wrong. Eric went from being in the Peace Corps to a SEAL, which seems completely incongruous. However, following Eric on his journey I realise that he is honouring his deep convictions by becoming a protector of the weak not just caring, educating and assisting them. I can't imagine living through what he has lived through, but I am ever grateful for his moral compass in our military. He truly 'Steps up' in his life & he is an inspiration to all.
The audiobook was riveting. I only found a one part less interesting, which was the description of the hazing in the pacific. Otherwise, this book helped me learn & understand more about those who chose to serve in this way. A very brave & honest book.
"An amazing book, I couldn't stop listening"
One of the best examples of Military Memoir I have ever experienced. It helps that Greitens narrates his own words. He is a talented storyteller, who tells his tale plainly and without ego. I was left wanting to know more about him and his work. If you're looking for a shoot'em-up blood and guts thriller, you're not going to like this book.
However if you'd love a great example of "The hero's journey" in the same vein as "One Bullet Away", "With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa" or even Heinlein's fictional classic "Starship Troopers" you've come to the right place.
"A thought provoking and well written/read account"
Have been listening to this book and am amazed by the great way it presents the story. The writer who also reads the book, is a natural to the audio book genre and delivers his story in a compelling and all emcompassing manner. Not an army story, but a life story and freedom, the value of it we in the west take for granted.
Governments don't make change, people do, from the spark in the heart of one man or women a whole political or social shift can taken place, as we have witnessed in the middle east recently.
"My favorite of the year"
I feel like most citizens are very disconnected from those who are serving in the military overseas - so I am drawn to books that help me be more aware. This is my favorite book so far of the year. I love what this man has to teach about life, values, compassion, courage and vision. The audio version is read exceptionally well by the author.
Interesting perspecitive on the strategy of struggle. The balance of too much versus not enough is a complex and hard to comprehend topic that this author fights head on. Fantatstic book. Wish I had more time in the day while I was listening to the book.
"A Navy SEAL with a mission to save the world"
What a great man. What a great story.
Listening to how Eric matures and develops through college and his international humanitarian episodes were interesting. However, the best parts for me were Eric's SEAL training experiences. It was very encouraging to know that a man like Eric was going to be a military leader. It was very discouraging to hear about some of the other people who were going to be military leaders. Overall a good listen.
"phenomenal journey"
Nothing is better to listen to on Audible than a great book, well narrated by its author. This is a fascinating story about one man, and his journey to being what he is today. Greitens' ultimate story is yet to be told, but you cannot do much better than he has done so far. An inspiring story.
"The Heart and the Fist"
Few men can be Navy Seals and few men can write about their unique world like Eric Greitens.
"An important read for every world citizen"
This book is an important read for every world citizen. Further the knowledge and humanity of Eric needs a place in our global political system.
"A clever man."
Read both of his books now and really enjoyed them both. Here's hoping he writes another.
"All american success story."
No, probably would not recommend. It's too much filled with do-good attitude. I get it, the guy is a success in everything and everything. Normal people hates thoses guys.
Well, you really can't change the reality, now can you..? Unless you are a leftist liberal and even then the warped reality stays in their own heads.
Yup. No complaints there.
I think so yes and I thought the Resiliance was it. I was mistaken.
Ok listen, but if you are wanting to listen it because of the BUD/S & SEAL -factor, you are going to lose about half of the book.

Scenic beauty makes Salt Lake City and its environs a natural for races. The Salt Lake City Classic is the city's biggest race and kicks off the racing season in early June. It's two races—a 10K and a 5K—and winds through the downtown area. The next big event, the Deseret News/Granite Furniture 10K and Marathon in July on Pioneer Day, celebrates the coming of the founding fathers into the valley. Here, history and race combine with a parade, second in size only to the Rose Bowl Parade, whose spectators cheer the runners on. The first Saturday in October is the date of the St. George Marathon, ranked one of the top 20 marathons in the U.S. The race is open to 4,000 runners (it fills up fast), and the course provides plenty of scenic red rock and desert scenery.
Perhaps the most intriguing event is the Wasatch Steeplechase. Held in mid-June, it's a 16-mile trail run starting in Memory Grove, and is uphill all the way to the top of Black Mountain. If you make it that far, the course becomes even more arduous: Runners must pick and crawl their way over the crags at the top—in any way possible. Steep switchbacks on the return add to the challenge, and it is said that you only own bragging rights if you come back bloody, bruised or injured.
The Salt Lake City Track Club (contact president Geno Atencio at (801) 967-6014) organizes the Salt Lake City Track Club 50K Series, which comprises four races beginning in January. The purpose of these events is to provide a quality, low-cost series of runs in preparation for the spring and summer racing season. The club hosts recreational fun runs of five to eight miles every Wednesday throughout the year. It also meets on Saturday mornings in winter, Sunday mornings in summer. Visitors are always welcome.
The best place for shoes and race information is The Salt Lake Running Company (formerly Sporting Soles). Owner Guy Perry and his all-runner staff are friendly and helpful. Guy keeps a treadmill and video camera handy to analyze any running problems, so that his staff can fit you with the correct shoe. While at the store, pick up Utah Runner and Triathlete and "The Runner's Pulse," the track club's newsletter for upcoming racing and fun-run schedules.
George Adams, a native of Utah and past president of the Salt Lake City Track Club, has been running in and around Salt Lake City for 14 years.

Kilauea, Hawaii
Kilauea is one of the world's most active volcanoes. It sits on Hawaii's Big Island and is a part of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The park's Kilauea Visitors Center has information about lava flows, trails and road conditions as well as exhibits on ecosystems created by the mountain's ongoing volcanic activity. Most tourists come to see the lava flows, spectacular glowing rivers of melted rock. However, not everyone will leave amazed, as the mountain has an ever-changing landscape. Sometimes the flows are active and easily visible and sometimes they are not. It pays to use the resources available from the National Park Service to plan where and when to see the flows. For those who want an up-close look, interpretive hikes and ranger-guided tours take place daily.

Panel calls for pipeline improvements
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) -- A state panel created to help prevent a repeat of last year's oil spill into the Yellowstone River is calling for pipeline technology upgrades by companies and more money for government inspectors.
Those recommendations are in a report due for release today by the governor-appointed Pipeline Safety Review Council.
But none of the panel's recommendations is binding -- and most fall outside state government jurisdiction, council chairman Richard Opper said.
Gov. Brian Schweitzer formed the council in the wake of a 1,500-barrel crude oil spill last July from an Exxon Mobil pipeline near Laurel. An estimated 70 miles of the Yellowstone's riverbank were contaminated.
The spill came after local officials had repeatedly warned the pipeline was at risk. It was one of several major accidents in recent years that underscored lax government oversight of the nation's sprawling pipeline system.
Federal inspectors working with the state later found dozens of river crossings in Montana and northern Wyoming where erosion had left pipelines exposed to hazards. Companies including Exxon Mobil, CHS and Conoco Phillips spent tens of millions of dollars on improvements and other work on at least 18 crossings.
Opper said that put the state in a much safer position than prior to the Exxon spill, which came during record spring flooding across Montana.
A computerized mapping system set up by state and federal officials since the spill will also help, Opper said. He said the mapping system will give state and local officials instant access to the specifics of pipelines should accidents occur.
Yet any broad improvements to the pipeline system will have to come from federal regulations or pipeline operators themselves, Opper said.
"One of the things we've done is learn how little jurisdiction the state has over pipeline safety," Opper said. "We certainly encourage companies to stay abreast of new technologies that will help them to their job."
One landowner whose property was contaminated in the Exxon Mobil spill said she was disappointed with the council's recommendations.
Alexis Bonogofsky, who runs a goat ranch along the river near Billings and works for the National Wildlife Federation, said the panel was "going out with a sputter" after months of work by state agencies.
"I'm shocked that this is what they're releasing after a year of what seemed to be an in-depth analysis of the problem," she said. "These recommendations don't mean anything."
Montana has 6,700 miles of natural gas transmission, oil and other hazardous liquid pipelines. The state averages about six or seven serious accidents on those lines annually.
The Exxon spill caused more property damage than all other accidents over the last decade combined.
Investigators suspect river scouring caused by flooding on the Yellowstone was responsible, although a final cause has not been determined. The line was buried only a few feet beneath the riverbed when it was installed in 1991.

Former animal rescue leader charged with two counts of cruelty to animals
By Lindsey Virden
A Hector woman charged with two counts of aggravated cruelty to animals has had her trial date continued to Aug. 9.
Jan Plant, 66, was arrested March 2 after more than 100 dogs were found on her property, many of them sick, starving and under conditions that were "very unsanitary and inhuman for their custody and care."
According to court documents, two preventable diseases, mange and Parvo, were found among the dogs after they were inspected by a veterinarian. Records also indicated 13 animals later died "due to their weakened condition and lack of nutrition and the presence of other untreated conditions."
Investigators noticed that several animals "appeared to be aggressive towards humans" and were not restrained.
The investigation began when a report of suspected animal cruelty was given to the Pope County Sheriff's Office on Nov. 12, 2010. On Nov. 18, deputies searched the property, confirming the report which included information from Molli Corbin, a certified animal cruelty investigator, according to court documents.
Plant posted a $2,500 bond and was released from jail March 2.

1. Mapping Out Earthquakes
The San Andreas Fault made a name for itself when it shook San Francisco, California, in 1906 and again in 1989. This major fault runs almost the entire length of the state of California from the northern California coast down through San Bernadino and Palm Springs. It is the fault that many say will produce "the Big One," a potential magnitude-7.8 earthquake, according to a Yahoo! News LiveScience article. Scientists recently discovered that the fault isn't a sheer vertical as they had thought, but has a series of dips shaped like propellers. These dips, and how they affect the shaking of a quake, can be studied to help predict the consequences of major earthquakes, researchers said. Find a newspaper article about earthquakes. Or find one online. Research which faults were involved and create a map of the faults.
Core/National Standards: Plotting the locations of volcanoes and earthquakes so that students can see a pattern of geological activity.
2. It's a Grand Flag
On February 15, 1965, Canada adopted a new flag. Canada's old flag, Red Ensign, featured the British Union Jack to highlight its status as a self-governing member of the British Empire. Though one can still find Elizabeth II on Canada's currency, the Canadian Parliament spent years looking for a new design that better reflected the country's independent status. The lawmakers decided to use a maple leaf displayed on a field of red and white—Canada's colors, according to King George V. The solution featured a local symbol, but subtly indicated Canada's history with England. Read an article about a changing region, country or community in this week's newspaper. Design a flag for the area that highlights its past and its future.
Core/National Standard: Describing and comparing characteristics of states, regions and countries, and explaining the processes that created them; using visual presentations when appropriate to enhance the development of main ideas or points.
3. My Teacher. My Hero.
On the movie screen, superheroes come in skin-tight outfits of red, blue, black and green. But in real life, heroes come in khakis, polo shirts, skirts and blouses. The Week magazine recently featured a story about eight ordinary people who did something extraordinary. They are teachers who saved the lives of their students. This month a young autistic boy ran onto an icy pond in New Hampshire and fell through the thin ice. His teacher, Gwen Rhodes, ran after him, jumped into the freezing water and pulled him to safety. In Utah, Ron Hansen was in his social studies classroom when he heard a "clap of thunder and a scream." He found two students had been hit by lightening, and he and another teacher gave them CPR until help arrived. Find a newspaper article about an ordinary person doing something extraordinary. Write a summary of the article, using strong active verbs and descriptive language.
Core/National Standard: Using precise words and phrases, relevant descriptive details and sensory language in writing.
4. History Uncovered
Jourdan Anderson escaped slavery, became emancipated, found paid work and made a new life for his family. Then a letter arrived in the mail. It was from his former slave owner, Colonel P.H. Anderson of Big Spring, Tennessee. The colonel wanted Jourdan to come back and work on his farm. Jourdan wrote back to his former owner and that letter recently was discovered and printed in the New York Daily News. In the letter, Jourdan said he was glad the colonel hadn't forgotten him, but "often felt uneasy about" his former owner. He recounted how the colonel had shot at him twice, harbored Confederacy rebels and killed a Union soldier during the Civil War. He told his former master he would only come back if he was paid back wages for the 32 years of service he had given as a slave. As a class, find a newspaper or Internet article about a historic find. Discuss it as a class and decide why it is significant.
Core/National Standards: Propelling conversations by posing and responding to questions that probe reasoning and evidence.
5. Drivers, Start Your Engines!
NASCAR drivers are revving their engines and getting ready to kick off a new season of racing. Opening day is February 26 at the Daytona Speedway in Florida. On February 15, 1998, the late, great Dale Earnhardt won his first Daytona 500 race after 20 years of trying. He was one of NASCAR's heroes, winning 76 races in his career. Sadly, it was at Daytona that Earnhardt lost his life. On February18, 2001, Earnhardt died at age 49 from injuries from a crash during the Daytona 500. Find a newspaper article about a NASCAR driver. Or find one online. Use what you find to write a short fictional account about the driver competing in a race.
Core/National Standards: Using narrative techniques, such as dialogue, pacing and description to develop experiences, events and/or characters.

bkoberwrote a review of Metolius Ultralight TCU Packaged Sets on March 17, 2006
Ultralight TCU's
I replaced my Aliens with the new TCU's. Now I have 6 pieces that weight less then my 5 aliens and fit better with my DMM cams. It is great that the thinner connection lets you really see your placement. I can also rack as many on a biner as I could aliens because the slings are much thinner then the old version. They're awesome.

Library Journal Review
Wells's (One World Vegetarian Cookbook) latest focuses on small plates that can be mixed and matched to form tapas- or mezze-style meals. Recipes are organized alphabetically for the most part, with Desserts and Drinks in a separate section. She also includes menu suggestions; for instance, she recommends serving an Ecuadorian Casserole with Green Lentils alongside Marinated Cabbage Salad and Gingery Mashed Potato with Yogurt. Icons indicate vegan and vegan-adaptable dishes. VERDICT Vegetarians who like variety will enjoy combining these flavorful dishes, most of which can be made in 40 minutes or fewer. (c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
Moving toward a more vegetable-based diet is the only sustainable and healthy way to feed the world. The extraordinary abundance of nutritious plant foods gives great opportunities to conjure them into delicious, planet-friendly meals. Some of the best non-meat dishes come from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East and presented here are the very highlights. This cookbook has tastes for every palate.

Despite an item in the Bass Lake Bulletin recent newsletter asserting that the sale of Bass Lake by the El Dorado Irrigation District is stalled, officials told Village Life the sale is still in the works.
The 140 acres around the lake has been for sale since March.
The Bulletin said negotiations had stalled because there were no closed sessions listings about property negotiations between EID and the Rescue Union School District on either board's agendas.
"We are still in negotiations with the Rescue Union School District and for now, the ball is in their court (they are doing their own review and analysis)," EID Communications Director Mary Lynn Carlton said. "Several months ago, county staff agreed to step back to allow EID to negotiate solely with Rescue, so we are having no discussions with the county at this time. As you know, Rescue is interested in a future school site that would use portions of both EID's Bass Lake property and the adjacent county property to the north."
Rescue Superintendent Dave Swart said his district is not "moving very quickly." The district is currently experiencing declining enrollment, but expects enrollment to begin increasing again in three to four years.
Swart said he is working with the county in regard to a park and ball fields, though he admitted, "They are not too interested in being in the park business."
The superintendent has had preliminary discussions with community services district staff, though nothing has risen to the board level at this point, either in Cameron Park or El Dorado Hills.
The school district has some funds and is looking at acquiring a school site that would be put to use a decade from now. "The school has no interest in buying a lake," Swart added.

If Carlos Checa can add 26 more points to his lead over Melandri this weekend the Spaniard will claim the 2011 WSB title.
Spaniard Carlos Checa charged toward his sixth Superpole of the season on Saturday at the Imola circuit. The 38-year-old Althea Ducati rider held off Irishman Jonathan Rea in the final session by just 0.078 seconds with a new track best of 1'47.196, putting him in ideal position to take the championship this weekend.
"Jonathan [Rea] has been very strong all weekend and we knew it was going to be hard to beat him," said Checa. "Basically we've been struggling with the qualifying tires, and in the end we put on the race tire and improved. I did a really good clean lap with no mistake, and when I saw the time, I was pretty sure that no one was going to beat it."
"It's been such a big journey to get here on my side with my family, the physio and the doctors, and on the team's side because they've worked so hard with the new ride-by-wire system and Cosworth are helping us a lot so I can't thank everyone enough for their belief in me," Rea said. "I think we can be really competitive tomorrow but at this point I'm really looking forward to 2012!"
Pata Aprilia Racing's Noriyuki Haga joins Checa and Rea on the front after setting the third-fastest pace, with the Japanese rider lapping the Italian circuit 0.246 seconds behind Checa.
"I'm really happy for this position, especially because I made a little mistake in the second exit of Superpole, but finally I got third position with a race tire and the front row and I'm feeling good," said Haga.
Kawasaki Racing's Tom Sykes also landed a front row start for Sunday's races after finishing fourth on the timesheets only 0.026 seconds behind Haga.

Following one of the toughest sessions of his career, Yamaha's Eugene Laverty made major improvements to move up to fifth in the charts. BMW Motorrad's Leon Haslam trailed the Irishman in sixth and was the final rider within a second of Checa. BMW Italia's Aryton Badovini was the fastest Italian of the day with his time of 1'48.234, followed by Liberty Racing's Sylvain Guintoli who nabbed the final spot on the second row.
Yamaha's Marco Melandri was unable to move to the final Superpole session and posted ninth on the grid at his home circuit. Less than a tenth behind the Italian was Leon Camier, who is riding solo for Aprilia Alitalia after teammate Max Biaggi was deemed unfit to race due to his broken ankle. Alstare Suzuki's Michel Fabrizio earned 11th in the timesheets 0.345 seconds behind Melandri, and Supersonic Racing's Max Berger snatched the final spot on Row 3 with a top lap of 1'48.935.
Some of the names which didn't make it past the first Superpole session include Liberty Racing's Jakub Smrz, BMW's Troy Corser, Kawasaki's Joan Lascorz and Castrol Honda's Ruben Xaus. Both Lascorz and Xaus will have to start from the fifth row on Sunday after not qualifying for Superpole.
There is currently 74 points separating Melandri from Checa in the 2011 World Superbike Championship. If Checa can add 26 more points to his lead this weekend, the WSB title will go to Spain for the first time.
