Tom Lowry Memorial 2014
Tom Lowry Memorial 2014
Lining up for the 72nd Tom Lowry was Theo Yates, Brendon Meney, Johno Bolton, Bradeley Hall, Andy Williams, Aaron Slavik and guess rider Andrew Fitzgerald.
The first 80km of the Lowry was like no other race I've ridden in WA! Attack, after attack after counter attack made for an incredibly brutal race, however it was difficult to put a name as to who was the most aggressive. Almost every single rider in the field had a dig at one point or another, and when I say dig, I mean a hefty whack off the front that left everyone clinging for wheels over the undulating course. Many moves that went up the road certainly had the potential to stick, Satalyst was represented in all the moves, of course, however the peloton looked set to bring the race down to a big bunch gallop.
A break finally came to fruition with 1.5 laps left of the 5 lap race. Sam Davis, Chris Beeck, Wade Longworth and myself opened up a gap on the back half of the course and quickly built up a lead of 1:30min with 1 lap left to race. Our group of 4 was working well together, and having won a prime at the beginning of the last lap, I was confident I could win the final sprint if it came down to that. Sam Davis, however, had other ideas. On steady rise, Sam tested the waters with a punchy attack. I responded and brought the quartet back together. Several kilometres later, Sam launched another attack on a false flat, and quickly built up a small lead. This looked to be the winning move, so I rode across to Sam and we agreed to work together. The remaining 5km's past by in a blur, Sam and I knowing that Chris and Wade were not far behind, and the peloton massing a grand chase. The race came down to a two-man sprint. Across the line, I had my hands in the air, having beaten Sam in the final 200m. Chris and Wade followed shortly after, and the peloton very closely after them. The lads did a stirling job back in the peloton setting Theo up for the sprint, coming home 2nd to claim 6th.
The whole team rode awesomely. It cannot be understated how aggressive the first 80km of the race was, and without having team-mates to chase back breaks or represent us in the moves, the race would not have played out the way it did.
Next up for the Satalyst-Giant crew is the Battle on the Border (BoB) starting on the 15th May, followed closely by the Tour of Towoomba. As always, thanks go out to all our sponsors, the new Bonts in particular looked amazing.
The Satalyst Giant Racing Team are on their way to Manila for their next challenge LE TOUR DE FILIPINAS
The Tour kicks off with the 160-kilometer Stage One from Clark to Olongapo City on Monday, 170-km Stage Two on Tuesday, 146.6-km Stage Three on Wednesday and the decisive 134-km Stage Four from Bayombong to Baguio City on Thursday.
The Satalyst Giant Racing Team:
Pat Shaw (Team Captain)
Theo Yates
Mat Marshall
Brendon Meney
Joel Strachan
Gary Boylan( Directuer Sportif)
Great start to the Tour of the Philippines for the Satalyst Giant Racing Team. On the 160km tough, hilly stage 1: Brenden Meney rode across to the crucial break, finished 7th on GC and is now wearing the Young Riders jersey. More details to come.
Stage 2 report by Mathew Marshall
It was day two in the town of Olongapo of the Philippines. Overnight Joel had unfortunately become stricken with an acute form of gastro. Such illness is regrettably part and parcel with Asian racing and can be difficult to avoid when the immune system is already balancing on a knife edge.
The boys were once again subject to another day of unrelenting heat and suffocating humidity with the mercury soaring into the high 30's early into the race. Despite the brutal conditions Satalyst-Giant pressed on and stayed vigilant as the field slammed down the highways towards the central Tarlac region. Pat's experience allowed him sense the early break forming, he responded quickly made himself apart of the group which ultimately put itself out of reach ahead the peloton into the latter periods of the stage. Meanwhile both Mat and Theo closely shadowed Brendon in defence of his White Jersey. Pat then made a decisive move around the 20km to-go mark as the highway deviated onto several horrendous dirt road sections. He quickly shelled a few of his breakaway companions and was in a commanding position before suffering a race ending double puncture. As the peloton hit the pave segments it also suffered a similar fate, numerous groups exited the section with Brendon following the first move followed by the yellow jersey group containing both Mat and Theo. Brendon crossed the line shortly after the remaining breakaway members claimed line honours, however, his young riders jersey was still well intact.
Bring on the mountains…
Stage 3 update – Theo Yates
After a torturous stage 2 in the slightily uncomfortable philipino weather we commenced stage 3 which was to cover 146.60km of rolling terrain with the race peaking in the middle of the course at 87km and the rest of the race slowly descending down to the finish in Bayombong .
Our main object was to keep Brendon Meney in the White/Young riders Jersey, and then wait for bunch finish .
The race started a couple of kms into the neutral zone, and then a rider had found his way into a street sign witch then delayed the race for longer . After the flag dropped racing started from the gun riders were attacking left, right, and centre, as the raced progressed I noticed that the traffic was getting heavier next moment I realise that we are now riding through a village racing through traffic on a wet road, from a water truck that had passed not to long before this caused me among other riders to come down. When we came down Brendon Meney suffered extensive damage to his bike, But nothing a bit of persuasive "bending" couldn't fix . Soon after chasing back onto the bunch the race organisers called the race off temporarily so they could clear the congestion of traffic that had built up deeming the race unsafe .
After this the bunch regrouped and we started the race again from kilometer 24km with 125km to race, soon as the flag dropped the race was very fast until the sprint point where the Japanese teams wound it up for their man in the green jersey . Highways guided the most part of the race until we hit the bottom of the climb where Brendon and Mathew were sitting at the front of the bunch keeping in mind to stay with the white jersey contenders, Brendon was able to keep up with lead bunch over the climb . Mathew and I were left to chase back on the descent a good group of 5 formed to get back onto the 2nd bunch with a front bunch forming after the climb . Coming closer to the finish of the race The teams with all of their riders got on the front to chase the front bunch the gap was slowly coming down and the sprinter in the 2nd bunch were getting ready to fire .
2km to go I knew the gap was to big to reach before the finish and I followed the green jersey for the bunch kick with the help of Mathew and Brendon sprinting in for 11th place . Brendon still holding the white jersey coming into stage 4 .
The objective coming into stage 3 was to keep Brendon in the white jersey this was accomplished, very hard day in the saddle .
Stage 4 update -
We are pleased to announce that Brendon Meney has won the White Jersey as the winner of the young riders classment in the tour de Philippines. We are also happy to announce he finished 15th overall.
Well done to all the team and to Gary Boylan for a job well done. In the end we had only Theo and Mat to look after Brendon in the stages and they did a terrific job.
The team for the tour of Philippines was;
Gary Boylan Manager
Pat Shaw dnf

Brendon Meney
Theo Yates
Mat Marshal
Thanks to all our sponsors for their support as you make it possible.
stage 4 recap: written by written by White Jersey winner Brendon Meney
Today was the last day and by far the hardest. There were only 3 KOMs but there was over 3600m of climbing in 130kms. The aim of the day was to defend the white Jersey and try to move higher up the gc.
We rode to the start and it was an hour earlier today than the last few days but it was still really hot.
The locals wanted photos with us and the we lined up. Just under 20km I dropped my chain and Theo and Matt got me back to the front of the group in no time. The first hill started and Theo bought us water before he sat tempo up the hill so he didn't blow early in the race.
CCN and OCBC put the pave on up the first climb and dwindled the bunch down to about 20 riders. I got dropped about 5 km from the KOM but got back on at the top because the 2 competitors that were close to taking the white Jersey were up the road. When I got back on there was a select group that had for away with all the climbers in it and I was in the second bunch with the yellow Jersey.
We rode together for the rest of the race and the 2 guys kept attacking but I managed to close the gap and keep them with me. It was a great feeling to roll over the line wearing the white Jersey and knowing that I had kept it even though I did move down on GC because I wanted the jersey more than a better GC.
Matt came in about 5 mins after and said that he had done basically the last 60km just jumping from group to group, and Theo came in not long after.
I think we were all glad that the racing was over and it was finally a relatively nice hotel to stay in, in a nice place of the Philippines, Baguio City.

Tour of Adelaide 2014
Stage 1 Report
When you find yourself packing a 28 tooth cassette prior to departing for a tour, you know that you'll be experiencing some serious pain in the near future…
The 2014 edition of The Tour of Adelaide was not one to beat around the bush. Moments before commencing stage one a brief scan around on start line of other riders gearing ratios quickly confirmed that the days par-course would be offering some opportunities on some steep slopes, Satalyst-Giant were eager to take advantage of them.
The stage commenced in a very violent but distinctive N.R.S fashion, with speeds immediately exceeding 50kmph as it left the outskirts of Angaston behind in the heart of South Australia's famous wine-producing region of the Barossa Valley.
A break of 15 riders quickly established some breathing room ahead of the peloton roughly 10km into the stage. Satalyst-Giant were represented strongly by both Mitch Cooper and Jackson Mawby. The duo managed to evade the wrath of the peloton right up to the base of the infamous Corkscrew Road assent amongst the rest of their break away companions. As the switchbacks commenced up the devastating gradient of the Corkscrew climb Wesly Sulsberger and a Carramurry rider hit it off the front of the break, Mitch and Jackson were quick to respond but lost contact towards the top of the climb but still managed to summit the 2.5km berg ahead of the rest of the break before commencing the descent towards the finish. The front runners of the peloton unfortunately gained contact with the Satalyst boys during the descent, yet Jackson produced a strong kick towards the line which resulted in 5th of the stage, 1st in the young riders classification and additionally 3rd on teams classment. Mitch Cooper is also sitting 2nd on the young riders classification.
Meanwhile the sheer gradient of the Corkscrew totally obliterated the peloton. A handful of riders managed to power clear of the carnage that was begin spat out of what was left of the peloton including Satalyst riders Alex, Brendon, Mat Marshall, and Kane who all finished briefly behind Jackson and Mitch's group ultimately contributing in a second position overall in the teams classification.
The Satalyst-Giant boys all put down an extremely powerful and cohesive effort today and will look to protect both Jackson's jersey and the Satalyst-Giants position on team GC during tomorrows stage two in Woodside.

Stage 2 Tour of Adelaide – by Kane Walker.
Stage 2 of the 2014 Tour de Adelaide was sure to excite, taking in some of the spectacular roads around Hahndorf, the German Heritage town (best Beestings and Bratwursts going around) as well as the surrounding country tracks (yes I mean tracks). Even though the weather sort to chilli the boys burning ambition to consolidate on a top previous day's performance, we took to the starting line with a firm plan and desire to execute. Fortune would however not be our friend on this day.
The first of many mishaps left Matty Marshel chasing after an early crash resulted in many riders, including some GC contenders, contemplating whether to re-mount or take the easy road home. Soon after, Andrew and Bobby got the call over the radio to assist a troubled Jackson. A small issue turned into a disaster for the 'Young Riders Jersey' wearer, seeing him 15kms off course and unable to re-join the race.
With plans now changing by the minute, the remaining SGR boys hit the first of 6 dirt sections resulting in a taste of real riding. The experience left everyone with a great appreciation for the riders of the Stada Bianchi and Roubaix style classics alike.
Matt was the next casually, suffering a puncture, which left him standing on the side of the road waving a wheel to no avail. Car after car passed him and he soon resided to the notion of walking home. Luckily for him the sag wagon found him soon after.
The peleton looked significantly smaller after the first lap however most riders seemed to suffer from punctures of mechanicals that lack of power. A welcome reprieve was the late break that slowed the pace to a controllable manner allowing riders to take a breath. Riding well as a team, the remaining SGR boys re-grouped and slotted in behind the chasing teams. Position is everything in a race like this and the crosswinds that battered the ridge line after the feed were reason enough to ride near the front.
Joel was next to find the grass in what was described as a spectacular commando style hurtle of the Guard Rail before disappearing into the farmer's field. The rider who found the guard rail was not so lucky. The assessment of wounds would have to wait till the finish for Joel as he clawed away another lap to ensure a start in the next stage.
Brenden's time had come as he lost his chain after a mishap near the feed zone resulting in a chase of 20 odd km's. He was strong enough to re-join, however with a somewhat wounded engine. Mitch came to grieve soon after on the 4th dirt sector, with a puncture that left with a hard chase that wouldn't see him re-join the race.
The hopes of SGR now rested on the shoulders of the 3 remaining riders, Brendan, Alex and Kane. The last lap was always going to include a fireworks show and it didn't disappoint. A split went as Alex made his way to the front, leaving Brendan and Kane to monitor the movements of a less than inspired peloton (that was the race that just went up the road).
Alex simply needed to pick a few of the key players to follow and try to get a clean ride to the end in order to contest the stage. Unfortunately there were a multitude of players in this' cream of the crop' split, resulting in a tough 'catch 22'. The move that went on the 2nd to last dirt section would eventually decide the stage winner; however Alex was unable to answer. He crossed the line in a respectable 16th on a very tough day of racing. Brendan and Kane made it home with the main peloton a few minutes further afield.
While the day was not filled with champagne showers and top step views, it was still a day of experience and reality checks. Tomorrow is a new day with new opportunities.
Campbelltown Kermesse Stage 4 | Tour of Adelaide 2014 |
Report by Joel Strachan
Final stage of the tour of Adelaide and the boys were all pumped ready to go after a couple of previous rough days at the office. The conditions were what you could say were champagne cycling with light winds and a bright South Australian sky. We couldn't ask for anything better!
So off we went, as usual with NRS criterium it went from 0- 60 kph and it just didn't really let up from there. An early move crept of the front which was being controlled by Budget Forklifts. The move included our young 17 year old Matt Jackson who has been solid and consistent all tour and was rewarded by riding up front early and crept into a move which included stare studded cyclists with the Boss of cycling Mark O'Brien, Darren Lapthorne, Burnie Sulzberger, Wesley Sulzberger, Jack Beckinsale and Frazer Gough then later to be joined with two monster riders Lachie Norris and Joe Cooper.
As the break kept creeping away but being well controlled by impressive Budget Forklifts the rest of the Satalyst boys were slugging it out in the Pelton which remained at serious pace. Big boy Alex McGregor stayed up front keeping watch on any further moves they may have left a few napping and would give him a chance to launch like the Apollo13. The big unit for the South Island was like a sea beacon 15th wheel and didn't look like getting out of that position all race. Solid.
Matty Jackson rode like a total boss mixing it up in the move best of the best Australians riders and eventually fell off the back due to the huge pace from the above mentioned riders, with approximately 7 laps to go, the young fella just couldn't hang on anymore. Massive kudos for the young man being aggressive and taking the race by the horns. Massive effort.
The rest of the boys were battling it out as the Pelton thinned and the laps came down to the final crunch. Alex remained in the final group of 40 riders, and the rest of the guys trickled in moments after.
Brutal course with road furniture everywhere and the team remained up right for the entire stage which was a plus due to the complexity of the course. Showed great bike handling skills.
Overall during the tour we were active in every stage and made the most of opportunities that presented themselves. That's what its all about. There is some serious power within the group and in time will become a excellent cohesive unit battling the front annoying the likes of Avanti Racing, Budget Forklifts and Drapac.
Everyone rode well and hard with there heart on their sleeves, sure we had a couple of rough days but excellent signs were shown.
Personally it was my first ride of the team and I had a complete ball, there is a great team camaraderie atmosphere and quality management within the team.
Well done guys and plenty of positives to be taken out of the tour. Onwards and Upwards. If we all believe in ourselves we can be there on the top step.

Stage 1 Report
Thanks to all our sponsors and hopefully we put on a good show for the Satalyst Giant Tifosi members watching from the Esplanade Hotel
Stage 2 started out of kalamunda today, it was a very warm start to the stage so today we knew that our nutrition was going to prove vital.
The race started out reasonably controlled, after one lap of the 15km circuit we saw a small group get up the road, it had about 5 riders in the move none of which we saw as a threat so we as a team sat near the front to keep an eye on things. As we got halfway into the race it started to hype up a lot attacks were going and coming back we were represented in each move until it sort of came to a we claim patch before the main move went away, a group of about 10 guys got away, myself included and the pace ramped up we quickly came across to the breakaway and some of the breakaway riders were able to stick with us. I had a fairly steady ride on the back of the breakaway as I was one rider vs teams, the likes of Drapac and Avanti that had 2-3 riders represented in the break so it wasn't my responsibility to do any work really.
As we approached the last few laps (2) I decided to take on as much food and drink as possible I was racing most of the day on my Torq gels and electrolyte and taking on as much be I could going threw the feed zone. As we got to the final few kilometres I saw the time gap coming back steadily so I thought I'd assist with the pace as I had trained a lot up the final climb and I felt pretty good, coming into the final climb I set the pace and lead up the early stages of the it only to be caught 2 thirds of the way up, I tried to follow the front and really dug it in, riding threw some very painful cramp I was able to come away with 14th place only a minute from the leader and moved myself into 14th on GC, putting good time into riders behind me.
Overall the team finished the hardest stage of the tour everyone making time cut so we are all very happy with that and looking to all ride very solid time trials tomorrow.
A quick thank,you to all our supporters and staff you guys were great and we couldn't have done it without them.
Alex McGregor
Today was stage 3 of the woodside tour of Perth. A deceptively tough 20km individual time trial around the picturesque rotto Island.
The team was dealt an early blow with the withdrawal of team captain Pat Shaw from the race. The injuries suffered in his hard crash in the finish of Wednesday's crit catching up with him. We all hope he'll be back in time for the up coming tour of Philippines.
The course had a lot of little hills and some technical corners and a nasty little head wind on the back part of the island which made finding a rhythm elusive.
The day saw my self of first and it didn't take long before I found out that rotto is not flat as I struggled to find a tempo that was comfortable.
During the middle part of the course I was struggling and lost probably a minute.
I then came good towards the end of the TT and managed to get my avg speed up over the 42kmh mark which isn't that good but could of been worse!
The stand out rides of the day were Alex MacGregor with a time of 26:26 for 21st place, Sam Welsford with 26:34 for 25th place and Jackson Mawby with 26:38 for 29th, which gave the Satalyst Giant team a decent teams classification result.
All the other boys rode a respectable time and all made the time cut off which isn't as easy as it sounds with Joe Cooper winning with an avg speed just under 50kmh!
Tomorrow is bound to be another hard day with the battle for GC honours yet to be sorted. The lads will be doing there best to get Alex McGregor higher up on GC who is currently sitting in 12th place.
Today was the last stage of the tour de Perth for 2014. The 114km race around perry lakes was quite tough with a short but steep little climb, going up it 14 times would be the crunch time in the stage.
The boys were ready for a hard day as the big teams were fighting it out for GC honours. Unfortunately Pat our team captain had to pull out due to injuries from a crash earlier in the tour but spirits were still high and we were looking to get Alex Mcgregor into top 10 overall.
The race was really hard and fast at the start, a few boys were caught up in a crash in the first couple of laps and had to pull out which was disappointing but we still had a job to do. All the boys left rode good position and were very strong all day, which was really good considering it was day 4.
I finished up 20th in the stage and the boys were there abouts. It was a great result for the team this week considering it was our first race for the NRS season, so defiantly bigger and better things to come this season!
We roll on to Adelaide tour next week and then tour of Philippines. Should be a good month, looking forward to it.
Thanks again to all the supporters, staff and volunteers made the week run smoothly!
Thanks Matt Jackson.

Roger Simon: Refuse to be terrorized
The purpose of terror is to sow panic, interrupt daily life, change and constrain behavior.
But, most importantly, terror is designed to shatter people's faith in the ability of their government to protect them.
And if a government cannot protect its citizens, if it loses the faith of its citizens, it cannot long endure.
In the lexicon of terror, you and I are "soft" targets. We are easily reached, easily killed, easily maimed because we seek normal lives. We do not live in bunkers or move about in armored vehicles.
We do not avoid public streets. We do not shun others. We mix with them, work with them, shop with them, walk the public streets with them.
Our first instinct is not to fear or hate. Our first instinct is to trust that virtually everyone we interact with on a daily basis means us no harm.
We are Americans. We enjoy the blessings of a free society. We believe our government will, in the rare instances it is called upon to do so, either prevent acts of terror or track down, capture, kill or neutralize those who commit terror against us.
There are those, however, who believe that our government itself is carrying out acts of terror.
The "truthers" believe the U.S. government planted bombs in the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, to bring the buildings down so we could wage war in the Mideast. (The jets that crashed into the towers, the truthers believe, were merely window dressing.)
Others believe the government also blew up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995, as part of a conspiracy that involved black helicopters, secret evacuations of top conspirators from the buildings and instructions printed on stop signs with invisible ink.
These people are small in number. But I get the feeling their numbers may not necessarily be dwindling.
A short while after the explosions in Boston on Monday, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick held a news conference in the quite proper belief that flooding the situation with truth is the best antidote to panic-inducing lies.
Here is one of the first questions he got:
Question: "Why were the loudspeakers telling people in the audience to be calm moments before the bomb went off? Is this another false flag staged attack [i.e., like 9/11) to take our civil liberties . ?"
Gov. Patrick: "No. Next question."
The blood was not yet fully dry on the streets, yet the loonies were already at work, spreading the belief that our government exists not to protect us, but to enslave and even kill us.
It is easy to look at the Boston Marathon bombing and believe we are entering a new era of fear. But it is not the first attack we have endured. Two I have already mentioned.
But don't forget the fear of anthrax sent by mail once gripped this country, and we got through that. We also got through the Unabomber and Columbine and Virginia Tech and Aurora. Newtown and the slaughter of 20 small children we are still struggling with.
Guns and bombs are related. Both are weapons of swift destruction.
I fear the Boston bombings will set back gun control for three reasons:
First, some will say there are laws against bombing, but that didn't prevent the marathon bombing and, therefore, laws against violence are useless.
Second, some will say we need to arm ourselves against future bombers. (Though this would not have protected anybody in Boston, where there was already a heavy, armed police presence.)
Third, a few will say government is the enemy and we must arm ourselves against the government.
Think that last one is believed only by whackos?
Here is a Ronald Reagan column from the September 1975 issue of Guns & Ammo:
"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed."
On Tuesday, President Obama said: "The American people refuse to be terrorized."
I pray he is correct. This is a time for courage and resolve. This is a time for strength.
This is a time for us to turn toward and not against each other. This is a time for us to turn toward and not against our government.
Stand up. Stand strong. Stand together.

India is developing Arjun Mark II main battle tanks (MBTs) after manufacturing Arjun Mark I, Defence Minister Arun Jaitley said on Friday.
Government has cleared a proposal to procure 66,000 Mango anti-tank shells from Russia to equip its armoured fleet including the latest T-90 tanks which have been facing shortage of critical ammunition for its weapon systems.
Seeking to address the issue of bursting barrels of Army tanks due to ammunition, the government is planning to replace them with canons of T-90 tanks in collaboration with Russia.
Invar is a weapon fired from the gun barrel of T-90, over 1,600 of which would be inducted into the Armed Forces in the next few years.
A Defence Ministry report on Monday said a contract was signed with Russia in 2010 for 16,000 rounds of ammunition for T-90 tanks.

Laura Brown lives in the U.K. - and unfortunately the U.K. is the first country to establish carbon rationing. Everyone will be expected to reduce their carbon consumption by 60%. Everyone has 200 Carbon Points per month to spend on travel, heat, food, and fun. The 200 Carbon Points are loaded on a card. In order to use anything, you have to swipe your card. If you have enough points - fine. If not, your oven could shut off in the middle of cooking dinner.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
People have to choose what is really important.
As tough as the carbon rationing is, the extreme weather patterns are worse. Unbearable heat, droughts, hurricanes, and floods put normal life on hold for everyone.
In addition to adapting to this new life, Laura also has to deal with typical teenage issues. Her family seems to be falling apart, her band is attempting to stay together, and she is trying to get the boy next door to notice her.
With the U.K. falling down around her, does Laura have the luxury of being a typical teenager?
Saci Lloyd has written an addicting eco-thriller. Following Laura through the toughest year of her life is fascinating. Readers will be anxious to read the follow-up, THE CARBON DIARIES, 2017.

How much will your puppy
weigh when grown?
Heart of Texas Chihuahuas can not
guarantee your pupppie's weight.
We can only estimate what he/she
might weigh when full grown
We go by the puppy's birth weight
and periodic weight check/age using the
Chihuahua Puppy Weight Chart.
These charts do not claim accuracy
until the puppy is weaned. Only that we
can give you an estimated
weight when grown.
It is our policy that the only way
to place a puppy on "HOLD" is
with a deposit. Heart Of Texas Chihuahuas
is not responsible for broken hearts,
if your special Chihuahua sells while you are waiting
on additional pictures or a scheduled
puppy visit. This is a
tool for you to use to assure you
that your puppy goes home with you.
Please remember that a deposit only
holds your puppy
My little dog - a heartbeat at my feet. ~Edith Wharton
Our perfect companions never have fewer than four paws-
Author Unknown
Happiness is a warm puppy. ~Charles M. Schulz
We are constantly monitoring our puppies weights, colors, coat type. If a puppy appears to have gone through an unexpected growth spurt, which in turn affects the adult weight estimation, then you might also see a price change if the puppy's price was based on the estimated adult weight

Does anyone have a LISP routine or know of a way to make a named page setup current in a drawing without using the dialog box?
You used to be able to access page setup from the command line, but it appears they've taken that away.
I want to create a custom button that makes a specific page setup current.
Let me google that for you....
I found that page after I posted and it looked like it had what I needed, but I can't figure out how to make it work.
I'm not a LISP expert, but I can muddle through some things.
In that LISP file, does the bracketed text need to be edited per the users requirements?
Thanks for the reply
Sorry, I didn't look at that one, seems overly complicated. Here is the one I use.
(defun C: pagesetup_import (/ exprt)
(setq exprt (getvar "EXPERT"))
(setvar "EXPERT" 2)
(command ".-psetupin" "C:\\Users\\mikepo\\appData\\Local\\Autodesk\\Auto
(setvar "expert" exprt)
Edit for your exact path and drawing file that holds your pagesetups.
Wouldn't that routine import page setups from an outside file?
I'm trying to make a page setup current that is already in the drawing.
I think I can make this work:
(command "._plot" "_n" "layout name" "page setup name" "" "" "_y" "_n")
That does work (THANK YOU!) but you need to replace the _plot iwth -plot (the - makes it non-idalogue).
Solved my problem too!

Retail clinics: cheaper per visit and access-enhancing, but cost-expanding
A study in Health Affairs finds that retail clinics achieve cost-savings for primary care maladies.

In plain English: the more supply of health services you add to the market, the more costs will be incurred. Or […]
Bad health care debt is greater among insured than uninsured Americans
As more costs are being charged to consumers by hospitals and other providers, bad debts are growing. More debt is being racked up by people with insurance than those without coverage. Over two-thirds of bad debt are generated by insured patients. This is the finding of nTelagent, Inc., a company that markets retail point-of-service technology. […]
Health insurance coverage remains stable…but don't break out the champagne just yet
In 2007, the percentage of people in the U.S. with health insurance increased to 82.8%, up from 82.1% in 2006. This increase in the insured resulted from growth in enrollment in government insurance programs — namely, Medicaid. The proportion of Americans with employer-based plans was stable between 2006 and 2007 at 62.2%. These statistics were […]

Goldman Sachs slapped over iPad price-cut call
You mean there's an investment analyst that's got no clue what's really going on and is just spouting pure guesswork as actual advice and insight? Say it ain't so!
I can't believe these guys get paid for this kind of stuff. Even the weather forecasters are right more often than these analysts.
Apple's cloud music service 'WIPES your iPHONE'
The theory goes, if someone thinks you've illegally downloaded a music track, they'll have a record of your ip address connecting to whatever server you got the file from.
So regardless of whether you have the file on your machine or not, and regardless if you've since replaced it with a legitimate version from iCloud, or bought the CD and ripped it, they'll still sue you based on the record of the illegal download.
It merits 5 thumbs down (at the time of writing) because the OP hasn't bothered to even see if that's how the system works, which it isn't.
If you loose your signal, the music files are still on your iPhone. Just as they're still on your desktop machine. And they're still in the iCloud.
But if you add a music track to your desktop machine, it'll be copied up to the iCloud and then immediately pushed down to your iPhone (if you wish)
They've never said it was an online streaming service.
tags aren't used
They don't use the id tags to match the tracks, that'd be a bit daft for the very reason you point out.
From http://appculture.net/how-does-itunes-match-work/
"When iTunes on your computer looks at your songs, it takes an audio snapshot of each one so that it can compare them directly against the iTunes Store database. This way, even if you've mislabeled Brian Eno as The Beatles ("wow, their later work really pushed the envelope!"), iTunes will get you the right match.
The same goes for live concerts vs studio recordings: if it's on the iTunes Store, it'll figure it out. (A lot of people had trouble with this part initially, but as of now, it's pretty flawless at picking the right version.)"
Leaked blower sports RIM's prospective OS, BBX
the London looks damn nice
but why are they going to take so long to bring it to market? if they release it now, they'll snap up a lot of people that were disappointed by the iPhone4S and who will otherwise get Galaxy S IIs.
Release it in autumn next year, and they'll be fighting to get any attention amid the predictable hype and expectation for the iPhone5

Lego movie greenlighted by Warner Bros
oh dear god no!!!
As a purely Lego movie, in the style of the computer games, and those fantastic short movies that were around the web a few years ago, it'd be brilliant.
But mixing in live action? It's going to be horrific. It'll be like a Power Rangers movie or worst yet, the horrific car crash that was the Garbage Pail Kids movie :(
Roger Rabbit definitely made it work, but everything else.... wait, doesn't Avatar count as a mix of animated and live action? Then again, Roger Rabbit was still better than that, so your original point still stands.

If you want lighter evenings, move further south, or to europe. I've very much enjoyed waking up an hour later this week than I did last week and wish we could move the clocks backwards in the Spring too, but we can't that's would be madness. It's going to get dark in the evenings eventually in the winter anyway, no mater what time zone we're using. If we stick with BST year round, then people will start wanting a BST++ in the summer, and a BST+ in the winter and before long, we're on the same timezone as Japan. Deal with it, we live in this part of the world, this is how the daylight hours work. Feck off elsewhere if it bugs you that much.

What happens after a corporation shoots itself in the foot?
It aims for the other one, evidently.
This is the one thing that everyone has been loudly complaining about since the Playbook was first announced.
It evidently isn't their highest priority, which means they're trying to target a totally different audience than the one that's shown interest in the device.
Which seems daft.
Batman: Arkham City
bestr superhero game ever?
I have to concur.
But then, having spent every waking hour over the weekend playing the game, that's not surprising. And I'm not finished either. There's so much gameplay in there. Endless replayability too. Graphics look good. Storyline is okay. Appearances by tons of the major villains. And just difficult enough to stop it being boring, but at no point impossible and off-putting.
Thoroughly entertaining. What more can you want from a game? These days it seems many games focus too hard on the graphics or the gimmicks, and forget to make the game fun and enjoyable too. That's not a failing of Arkham City.

to be honest...
I would love to dismiss this, saying that in these days of iOS and Android gaming, there's little place for a dedicated gaming machine.
But I know full well that as soon as there's a GTA game released specifically for the Vita and not available on the PS3, then I'll be buying this. So I'd better start saving up I guess...
Apple slips, moneymen pounce
didn't they tell us this was going to happen
I thought that in the results of the last quarter, Tim Cook said they were expecting the figures in the comming quarter to be down due to transition of a new product. so Apple both recognised this themselves and told Wall Street it was going to happen 3 months ago. But seems so-called analysts are only content to listen to themselves and unnamed rumour sources.
the economy would be in a far healthier state if got rid of all analyst roles right now.
Or even, sack all the current analysts and replace them with a room full of monkeys with typewriters. I doubt anyone would know the difference.

Some of us like it inside our walled garden. Walled gardens allow for protection against the elements, so it looks nicer, and neater, and the weeds get routinely pruned.

Just because it doesn't fit into your weed-induced-hippie-utopia vision of the perfect world doesn't give you the right to knock down our walls and trample over the gerberas and drink our kool-aid and pinch the chicken drumsticks off the bbq, you bloody oik!

Ten reasons why you shouldn't buy an iPhone 5
then again
The article is 10 reasons why you shouldn't buy an iphone5.
But all the evidence is that an iPhone5 isn't going to be released this month, it'll be an iPhone4S that's announced tonight. So perhaps Lewis is just winding us up and the 11th reason he'll give us tomorrow: that the iPhone5 is just rumour and guesswork at the moment
no it's not.
oh i dunno
1) Never had a problem with any of mine. Had a few close calls, admittedly, but sometimes it's nice to spend the last 5 minutes walking home from work, listening to the birds in the trees, being aware of the cars zooming past me
2) if you use iTunes and it's Smart playlists properly, you won't have a need for extra memory.
3) it would seem that Amazon would wish to argue that walled-garden businesses are the way of the future. buying an iphone or a kindle just puts you at the front of the new age.
4) but then again, really, who bothers to phone anyone these days? if you can't txt or tweet it, it's not worth saying
5) not so. all those other fools have the old iphone model. therefore you must be seen with the very brand new on to stand out from the crowd.
6) Just because he's a celebrity and expresses his opinion, doesn't mean he's wrong. and besides, you don't find many other celebrities gushing about the android alternatives do you?
7) Same can be said about BMWs and Fords
8) Surely this is a reason TO buy the new one, as it'll have a new antenna design, rather than the old iPhone4 (on which, i might add, i've yet to find the antenna issue occur without getting cramp in my hand trying to force it to happen)
9) bigger isn't always better. Bono's sunglasses cover more of his face than other sunglasses, but i still think they look ugly
10) as before, gotta buy at the start before the hoi poloi get their hands on it
and there's a great reason to buy the phone:
just as you've no doubt revelled in trolling the apple fanboys with this article, merely by buying the latest iPhone on release day, we get get to troll every windows and android fanatic at once. and that's worth any amount of apple-taxation :-) :-)
New iPhone offered for sale via unauthorised outlets
so, he's sourcing them from the US, and therefore making money on the exchange rate and lack of VAT, AND marking up the price by twice what is suspected? nice bit of work if you can get it
Samsung reveals release for 5in tablet
just because there is a numerical gap between 3.5 inch smartphone screens and 7 inch tablets, doesn't mean that it needs to be filled.

iTunes beta, Vodafone flag up iPhone 4S
iPhone 4S reference has been in iTunes beta for some time now:

UK punters happy to pay £3 to top up e-wallets

There's another alternative, I'll continue to put paper cash into my physical wallet and use that instead.
Amazon's Kindle Fire is sold at a loss
"I see a very well specified tablet on the horizon, price dependent on your annual spend"
"provided they can avoid the desire to play god in the future"
The only way they will be able to afford to produce that future tablet is if they do play god and ensure that your annual spend is all from amazon's own stores. If the majority of fire owners are the type to root their device and source their content from alternative, torrent-supplied locations, then amazon's strategy will fail
you missed this El Reg article then:
[quote]The retailer will apparently do nothing to prevent hardware hackers getting into the gadget's software innards, Jon Jenkins, director of Amazon's Silk browser project, suggested to PC Mag.
"It's going to get rooted, and what you do after you root it is up to you," he said.[/quote]
this is going to be the crucial matter. Amazon surely can't let anyone buy their content from anywhere else, otherwise there's no high-margin sales to offset the loss (or zero-margin) sale of the fire.
then again, i know such a concept seems blasphemy to most El Reg readers, but a closed eco-system seems to have worked, and continues working, for Apple. So why not Amazon?
it's the other tablet manufacturers that are going to get screwed. They blatantly can't produce a decent tablet for retail $200, otherwise they would have done so by now. And they can't make one and sell it at a loss either, because they don't have the means to provide the content that users will purchase, so won't get any profit there either.

Listener Supported Public Media from Fordham University
On UKNY at 11 tonight, brand new or forthcoming releases from 19-year-old Aberdeen singer-songwriter Cara Mitchell, London's Anglo-Irish trio The Drink (pictured) and Lake District dream-pop duo Aquilo. Also, music from seminal shoegazers Ride, who broke up nearly 19 years ago, but announced their surprise reunion this week (and tour dates, including a sold-out Terminal 5 gig in June). I'll also play another razor-sharp track from the restlessly outspoken and prolific Sleaford Mods, in New York next Saturday night, November 29, for their very first U.S. show.
New releases abound on tonight's UKNY at 11, zigzagging from the punk brio of Notthingham's Sleaford Mods (pictured), the pretty heartbreak of Sheffield's Nat Johnson and the sensual grooves of Manchester's Dutch Uncles. Also, The Clash, Noel Gallagher and Holiday Cheer for FUV guest Laura Marling slip into the mix.
On UKNY at 11 tonight, an array of new releases from Manchester's Julie Campbell, better known as LoneLady, as well as Fold, Clark, Jon Hopkins and the Buzzcocks. We'll dive headlong into a track from Bristol newcomers Spectres that takes a brazen left turn, midway through, that's akin to standing in the middle of a cyclonic sonic duststorm (no, there's nothing wrong with your radio, just hang in there). Also, the legendary Johnny Marr (aka Johnny "effing" Marr) is headed to the New York area for three shows next week, so something from that brilliant guitarist too, pulled from his terrific second solo album, Playland.
Rabbits! It's the first day of a new month and tonight on UKNY at 11, a grab bag of sorts with bands that were at CMJ (Casual Sex, Frogbelly and Symphony), happened to happily win the 2014 Mercury Prize (Young Fathers) or have transcendent new releases (The Staves, These New Puritans). In addition, two cool—and surprising—covers and we'll continue to explore the 20th anniversary remastered edition of Underworld's brilliant and groundbreaking dubnobasswithmyheadman.
Since 1992, one of most prestigious awards given to a British or Irish album each year is the Mercury Prize, an accolade that also carries a purse of £20,000 (about $32,000) and the promise of increased sales (although that's not always the case). Every September, a shortlist of 12 fine albums is announced, selected by a panel of music industry types. This Wednesday, October 29, the nominated artists and bands will perform at London's Roundhouse, eat a nice dinner, likely drink a little too much wine and discover, by night's end, if their album has indeed won the Mercury Prize.
So on tonight's UKNY at 11, the equation is pretty simple: we'll hear one track from all of the nominated albums, an eclectic shortlist of releases from Damon Albarn, GoGo Penguin, Kate Tempest, FKA Twigs, Bombay Bicycle Club, East India Youth, Polar Bear, Anna Calvi, Young Fathers, Royal Blood, Nick Mulvey and Jungle.

Dalton church's £1m organ is more than a pipe dream
Last updated at 16:30, Tuesday, 13 November 2012
THE true value of an antique church organ has finally been recognised.
St Mary's Church, Dalton, is now the proud owner of a Grade Two star listed instrument – worth an estimated £1 million.
The title was issued by the British Institute of Organ Studies (BIOS), after a team from the University of Liverpool realised its significance while researching the work of Preston-based organ builder Henry Ainscough.
Church organist, David Kidd, said: "The team from Liverpool asked if they could apply to the institute on our
behalf, and we received a certificate in October saying the organ was Grade Two Star listed. We didn't have any idea; it's quite a pleasant feeling."
Ainscough designed the organ around the start of the 20th century, but the exact date of its installation is not known.
Mr Kidd, from Rating Lane, Barrow, said: "It was probably second hand, and probably built around 1905. The documents could all be in the Cumbria County Council archives but it would be a huge job to try and find them."
BIOS award certificates to organs in four different categories, depending on how true they remain to their original design.
The Grade Two star listing is awarded for organs which are good representatives of the work of their builder, and in substantially original condition.
St Mary's vicar, Reverend Allan Mitchell, said: "We have already had people from all over England coming to look at the organ. To have it recognised with this award is splendid."
Despite the honour, Mr Kidd says the organ is still in need of substantial maintenance work to keep it in good condition.
The organ was last stripped down and cleaned in the 1970s, and its intricate design means the job would run up an eye-watering bill.
Mr Kidd, who has been playing the Victorian-style oak-panelled instrument since 2001, said: "It has a wonderful full sound but it definitely needs a lot doing to it. To strip it down, send it off to a specialist organ builders and have it cleaned would cost around 50 to 60 thousand pounds."

Christian Hendricks has fewer than two months to go before he flies the coop.
The Severn resident's start-up company, Sagitta Marketing, has been "sprouting" in Anne Arundel Community College's business incubator for the last two years. As of July 31, Hendricks will be out on his own, probably in an office in Annapolis.
"It's exciting and a little scary at the same time," Hendricks said.
Instructors at AACC's Entrepreneurial Studies Institute say without funding and the right kind of support, fledgling businesses are likely to fail within a few years. That's where the business incubator comes in.
A launching pad for small, student-run businesses, it gives entrepreneurs like Hendricks free office space for two years on AACC's campus. During those years, business owners also have access to various resources, including the accountants, lawyers and business owners who teach at the school, said Carlene Cassidy, associate professor of business and entrepreneurship and former director of the Entrepreneurial Studies Institute.
"If we're really serious about helping our students become future business owners, we have to do something to set them up for success," Cassidy said.

The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs
"The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs" as told by Jon Scieszka is a new spin on an old tale. This book is from the point of view of the wolf. "Nobody knows the real story, because nobody has ever heard my side of the story". The plot is organized in much the same order as "The Three Little Pigs". It goes sequentially through telling what the wolf believes happened. The illustrations are dark and not traditional drawings of the wolf and the pigs; however, they do fill the pages. I did not care for this book. The writing was not engaging and I felt as though I was just reading excuses. For example, "So of course the minute I knocked on the door, it fell right in". I think young readers would find some humor in this book, but I think that some traditional literature just need to be left the way it is. The big idea is to tell the Wolf's side of the story about "The Three Little Pigs".
I would love to talk with students about other stories we could write from a different perspective... perhaps they could work with partners to write a new, "true" version of another favorite!
Summary: This book is told by the wolf's perspective. The wolf starts out the story by saying his name is Al and that the whole big bad wolf thing was wrong. Al claimed that he was making a cake for his grandma and he ran out of sugar, so he went to his neighbors to see if he could borrow some. The first neighbor he went to was the pig who made the straw house. Al said he asked the pig if he was home and then he sneezed (because he was sick) and the whole house fell down! After the house fell down, he noticed the first pig inside it was dead, so naturally he ate it. This happened with the next pig who made his house of wood. Finally, Al went to the last pigs house; this house was made out of brick. The pig told Al to go away and then insulted Al's grandma. Of course Al was furious, so he tried breaking down the pigs door, but he was sick too so he was sneezing at the same time. When the police arrived, they saw him acting in this maniac state, and arrested him.
Review: The moral of this story is to show how different perspectives show different sides of the story. Therefore, don't always believe the first story you here. In this case, most people are already familiar with the traditional tale of the three little pigs. This story is told from the pigs point of view, making the wolf look like the bad person. However, in this story, the wolf believes that everyone has it all wrong. He claims that he was just looking for some sugar to bake his granny a cake. For all the reader knows, that could have been true. The wolf makes valid, believable points. Therefore, it is up to the reader to decide which perspective to believe. It shows the reader that it is important to not always believe the first story that is told, but to hear everyones side of the story.
In my opinion, the book, "The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs" is a funny story that I enjoyed reading. A traditional reading, this story is based off of the well-known fable, "The Three Little Pigs." When I read this story to the little girl I nanny, she giggled the entire time! I loved how the point of view was in the perspective of the "Big Bad Wolf." The wolf was a hilarious and well-developed character. Being in the wolf's point-of-view, he was able to defend himself based on why he is neither big nor bad. In addition to this, the language is both expressive and imaginative. The wolf truly felt as though he needed to clear up this story. He did this by expressing his need for a cup of sugar, for his dear old granny's cake, of course. The language is imaginative because the characters are talking animals and thus the story contains elements that violate natural laws of our world. The big idea of this book is to recreate the old story, explaining what "actually" happened, in a new amusing way.
In the book The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs, the wolf tells his side of the story. He was just baking a cake for his granny and needed a cup of sugar. Unfortunately he had a cold and every time he went to a pig's house he sneezed and blew it down. He also didn't believe in wasting food, so he ate the first two pigs that died in these accidents. The last pig insulted his granny and so he lost his temper and when the police came they saw him acting out of control and called he the Big Bad Wolf.
This story I think is so funny. It's a fun way to show children that sometimes things and people are misunderstood. I remember reading this book in school, and I want to keep reading it to my students one day. Hopefully they will like it as much as I do.
Classroom extensions:
1. After reading the book, have the kids play telephone to see how stories can get changed very easily.
2. For creative writing, have children pick a villain in a different story, and have the children create an explanation for why that villain may have behaved that way.
This is a great resource when talking about fractured fairy tales.

Wolf from the pig penitentiary where he's doing time for his alleged crimes of 10 years ago. Here is the "real" story of the three little pigs whose houses are huffed and puffed to smithereens... from the wolf's perspective. This poor, much maligned wolf has gotten a bad rap. He just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, with a sneezy cold, innocently trying to borrow a cup of sugar to make his granny a cake. Is it his fault those ham dinners--rather, pigs--build such flimsy homes? Sheesh.
This 10th-anniversary edition of Jon Scieszka's New York Times Best Book of the Year, The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs!, includes a special, impassioned letter from prisoner A. Wolf himself and a snappy new jacket by Caldecott Honor artist Lane Smith, whose quirky perspectives still color the illustrations throughout. As with The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, the collaborators take a classic story and send it through the wisecracker machine, much to the glee of kids young and old. (Ages 4 to 8 or much, much older) --Emilie Coulter

The wolf gives his own outlandish version of what really happened when he tangled with the three little pigs.
