Awesome 125 cc Race Action
G'day Everyone,
It was a great weekend for Jason Thomas as he wowed the fans and generated the maximum level of exposure by ripping his crowd pleasing KTM 125cc machine to a solid third place in the XC2 Pro class. Again, his performance on the 125cc is what everyone was talking about both at the track, and also after the race on social media outlets and the internet in general. Our pit area was a buzz during the whole weekend as nearly all of the race fans in attendance stopped by to talk with Jason to get the low down and to pass on their enthusiasm that he was rekindling their fond memories of years gone by when the woods were alive with the awesome sounds of small bore two strokes ripping through them!
There is one round remaining in the GNCC series (on Oct 27) and Jason currently sits in 2nd place in the XC2 Pro Championship chase, 21 points behind the lead rider. With 30 points up for grabs for the win, you can be assured that as far as Jason is concerned this fight isn't over yet - stay tuned in two weeks time!
Please use the following link to view and repost to your websites and social media our DirtWise Schools/*KTM-Parts.com/*Maxxis*team Video Race Report from last weekend's Rd. 11 of the GNCC series.

Had Philip taken the time to visit the Preda Children's Home when he was investigating the Olongapo paedophile sex bars, he could have talked to some of the 46 child victims in therapeutic recovery, ages ranging from six to 16.
Labelling the 20 Preda staffers who care for these child victims as part of a "coalition of paedophile vigilantes", is trite and unjust. Stating that we moved to have judges dismissed for failing to convict is untrue.
Michael Clarke was found guilty of violating Republic Act 7610. This law makes it a crime to offer minors for prostitution. The court found the ITN video of Clarke allegedly making such offers compelling evidence, as well as a poster he had made advertising sex orgies and more besides.
The allegation that I "condemn opponents by association and exaggeration", and the insinuation that we cut corners and bend the rules, in helping the children to bring their cases to court is baseless.
Philip Sweeney also failed to note that we vigorously campaign against the death penalty, which causes more heinous crimes against children and prevents nothing.
Had he spent more time with the official record and less in the kiddie sex clubs he would have enlightened and informed your readers and done justice to the children, who are the forgotten victims in his story.

Conversation Between betta lover1507 and lvandert
Showing Visitor Messages 1 to 3 of 3
- hmmm maybe they need to be separated if thats the case. I'd be funny if she thought he was a traitor for liking you, lol. Once again she could just be really stressed and not adjusting as well as the male. I'd just work with him seeing how he's being complacent.
- hmmm the nipping each other is probably normal. They've been together this long so its probably just play, but I could be wrong. I'd keep working with the male. He seems like the friendlier one. Once you get him good and trained use him to coax the female out of her shell. Their obviously attached to each other so maybe if you can convince one your now so bad the other will follow. Their still fairly new to the place and just starting to learn routines.

Red Pillow
I made a pillow to go in my new chair. I thought the black and white could use a punch of red. The pillow is made of red wool suiting, so no fraying the unfinished edges. I made a zipper closure on the back to easily change it out when I am in need of a change. The pillow is 12 x 16 and went together really fast. I cut two inch strips, gathered them, then stitched them on to a plain background square. I am happy with the way it turned out!

The JAXCC developed a new strategic plan in 2012 that lays out initiatives for growth in genomic technologies, computational analytics, and mouse model systems that serve as robust research platforms for interrogating the genomic complexity of human cancers. These strategies converge on the common goal of establishing new preventative and therapeutic treatments based on the individual cancer genome. The plan sets objectives for growth in research, resources and education, which guide budgetary decisions, faculty recruiting, facilities design, shared resource expansion, equipment purchases, and other activities. The JAXCC External Advisory Board (EAB) meets annually with the JAXCC senior leadership to review progress toward meeting the strategic objectives;advise on strategic partnerships, especially those that advance the JAXCC's translational outreach;review JAXCC policies and governance practices;review the shared resources;and evaluate the usage of developmental funds. Chaired by Edward Benz, MD (Dana Farber Cancer Institute), the EAB members are senior leaders in NCI-designated Cancer Centers and include Michael Friedman, MD (City of Hope Cancer Center) Mark Israel, MD (Norris Cotton Cancer Center); Jill Mesirov, PhD (The Broad Institute and Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research);Stuart Orkin, MD (Dana Farber Cancer Institute);Pier Paolo Pandolfi, MD, PhD (Beth Israel Deaconess Cancer Center);Frank Torti, MD, PhD (University of Connecticut Health Center);and Barbara Vance, PhD, CRA (NYU Cancer Institute). CCSG funds are requested for support of the annual EAB meeting. Funds are requested to support the annual EAB meeting. The JAXCC Scientific Executive Committee (SEC) comprises the senior leadership planning and implementation group. The eight members represent all three JAXCC campuses and have overall responsibility for implementing the strategic plan and recommendations by the EAB. They direct the JAXCC pilot project program with emphasis on using the CCSG developmental funds to advance the strategic goals. The Seminar Program serves the planning function by bringing external cancer researchers to campus. 67 distinguished speakers presented seminars of cancer-relevance to the JAXCC members in the previous grant cycle. In the next grant cycle, the seminar program will be institutionally funded. Priority will be given to speakers who can open doors for translational research partnerships.

Petersen Publications is a husband-and-wife small press specializing in books, downloadable information, readings and workshops. The Petersens feature material that involves readers as partners. The words "informal and practical" apply to everything they do.
(Need we mention Christmas gifts?)
The First Edition is best seller with over 22,000 copies sold. For a limited time, you can order the Second Edition for the Pre-Publishing Price of $15. When we list it with Amazon it will be $22.95. But, you can't order from Amazon or bookstores just yet; we're working on the arrangements. (And, by the way, the First Edition price has been reduced to $10.)
All the things you treasure still are there: the Flat-Brain Theory, the tango, the card, practical listening tips and humor.
In addition, Jim delved a bit deeper into techniques that can create, nurture and support the deep changes often required for us to journey into healthy relationships and self-discovery. Many readers have said these are the book's true worth.
In this second edition, listening techniques are spread throughout, making them easier to use and practice as you read. This "Why" also has expanded sections on managing the Flat-Brain, communication traps, decision-making and motivation.
Sally's book of short memoir essays has gone into a second printing to be ready for holiday giving. We've discounted it to $10 for the season. "Tea Pie" is small enough to hold in your hand or slip into a Christmas stocking. Read one or two bits before dropping off to sleep. You will see yourself in it, our readers tell us.
These very short essays, called "miniatures," touch on everyday happenings from a Midwestern childhood to a corporate world, stopping along the way for mountain climbing, youngsters, travel, creativity and pushing life to the edges. Poignant and funny, they will set you thinking about your life, too.
Holiday Price $10

Two years after the last season of NBC's "The Sing-Off" aired — and following the success of the movie "Pitch Perfect" and Internet phenomenon Pentatonix, who won Season 3 — a cappella singing is en vogue again. Zap2it spoke with each of the groups competing in Season 4 of the reality competition. Up next: VoicePlay, an Orlando-based group with a secret weapon.
VoicePlay, one of the groups competing on "The Sing-Off" Season 4, has a secret weapon: Honey LaRochelle, their fiery-haired female singer. The formerly all-male group began in high school as a barbershop quartet. "We kind of evolved our sound through the years and added a fifth guy," explains Geoff Castellucci. "For 'The Sing-Off' we wanted a little more of an edge of a sound, so we decided to put out a call to a good friend of ours, Honey, and she's adding a spark."
Castellucci says the group's sound is contemporary pop, but with a "throwback edge," covering artists from Ke$ha to TLC, Smashmouth to Stevie Wonder. LaRochelle sums it up as "wild, quirky, edgy, fun pop." Adds Layne Stein, "but it has little hints of other genres popping in and out, whether it's R&B, soul, punk, dubstep."
Essentially, there's a little bit of everything. "That's the thing with a cappella — you can do anything," Castellucci says. "Everything works, so it's kind of hard to pigeonhole yourself into one genre."
VoicePlay landed in the bottom two during the Season 4 premiere, but LaRochelle says the group isn't discouraged by their placement — in fact, they're excited at the opportunity to improve after hearing real, solid feedback from the judges.
"The coolest thing about being on 'The Sing-Off' is the opportunity to perform for people who have influenced us so much growing up," she says. "These artists who are here to judge us are actually huge role models for us and people we've looked up to for years. It's really cool that not only do we get to perform for them, but we get to hear feedback — real, honest feedback."

Angus T. Jones has left his days as Jake far, far behind him. The former "Two and a Half Men" star has debuted a totally new look in a picture that has surfaced of him running errands in Los Angeles.
In the photo, which can be seen here, Jones sports a much slimmer figure and a big, bushy beard. If he is trying to distance himself from his famous television character, then he's doing a pretty good job.
"He seems to be a shadow of himself and desperate to get away from the looks that made him a global star and very wealthy," a source tells the New York Daily News. "We are concerned about his health, too. Angus has lost a lot of weight over the summer and looks very skinny compared to how he looked on the show."
Another insider thinks Jones' new look could be a sign of bad times ahead. "He seems to be suffering some kind of breakdown," the friend says. "He appears in denial about the whole saga. And he just doesn't want to look like Jake anymore."
Jones' final "Two and a Half Men" episode was on May 9, 2013. His departure came after he did an interview where he begged fans to stop watching the show.

Archer Brady Ellison targets gold at 2012 London Olympics
PEORIA, Ariz. Brady Ellison stood poised on a boat for three hours, arrow drawn, scanning the shoreline waters of Lake Pleasant.
When the No. 2-ranked archer in the world, used to hitting DVD-sized bull's-eyes from 230 feet, decides to spend some free time bowfishing, it would seem to be a bad day for the carp.
But the fish were scarce on this April morning. Ellison took several shots, reeling in an empty arrow every time.

Finally his stepfather, Mel Nichols, manning the boat's controls, turned on the motor to head home.
"I hate when the fish win," said Nichols, an archer who has coached Ellison for more than a decade. "It's like winning a silver."
It was a rare 0-fer for Ellison. Butch Johnson, a five-time U.S. Olympian in archery, calls him "just about the best archer the U.S. has ever had."
As the summer sports season begins, with every result a marker for athletes trying to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics, Ellison has shot his way into the center of the U.S. gold medal conversation.
By Rob Schumacher, USA TODAY
Brady Ellison bow fishes at Lake Pleasant, Ariz. He is the No. 2 ranked archer in the world.
Ellison, 22, who has the heads of a bighorn sheep and a deer he felled on his bedroom wall, would give America a new variety of hero if he were to win Olympic gold.
He celebrated qualifying for the 2008 Olympics by going hunting in Texas. He still gets animated when he talks about the 300-pound bear he shot with a rifle on his grandfather's Arizona ranch at age 11.
"My dad said, 'Just squeeze the trigger and aim right at the top of his back,' and my first shot cut off the bottom of his heart," Ellison says. "That was a lot of fun."
Hitting his target in London would help return the U.S. team, which has gone two consecutive Games without winning a medal in the sport, to archery prominence.
A U.S. man won every individual Olympic gold from 1972 to 1988, except for the U.S.-boycotted 1980 Games.
"(South) Korea is the country to beat," says Johnson, who won 1996 gold and 2000 bronze in the team event. "There are several countries out there that have very, very good archers. So it's much harder now to dominate."
Ellison embraces the expectations. After making the 2008 Olympic team, he got a tattoo of the Olympic rings on his right forearm "so when I shoot, people can see it."
Ellison finished 27th in the individual archery event at the Beijing Games. He was 20th at the 2009 world championships.
He got into the Olympic gold medal hunt last season, winning six World Cup medals (two individual, four team) and the World Cup final, where he beat top-ranked Dong-Hyun Im of South Korea.
"Outside of Korea," says U.S. national team head coach Kisik Lee, "not many archers in the world could shoot what he's maintaining with every score right now."
Ellison altered his approach last season, trying to beat his personal bests rather than focusing on his competitors or overall average scores at specific events. A change in the scoring system — from highest overall score to a set system, similar to tennis — also helped, he says.
"The pressure is completely different," says Ellison, competing in his first World Cup of the 2011 season this week in Croatia. "I love the set system. For me it was a lot easier."
Archery is way of life
Ellison's is a talent nudged early (he shot at grasshoppers with a plastic bow and suction-cup arrows while still in diapers) and encouraged often.
Growing up, he spent weeks every summer working and hunting on his grandfather's ranch. His grandfather and father worked as hunting guides, and he sometimes would join them.
Ellison had his own compound bow by age 7. By 11, he was competing in 3D archery, shooting at animal-shaped foam targets at varying distances. By 15, he was shooting at traditional targets and traveling to competitions. He made the junior world championships team in 2004.
Along the way, he met Nichols, a professional archer who coaches in his backyard archer's paradise in Glendale, Ariz. The yard is filled with 3D animals. A 50-meter target practice range spans the space diagonally.
At first, Ellison's mom, Julie, was shuttling her son more than 60 miles each way to Nichols' home from theirs in Payson, Ariz. It turned out Ellison had found more than a coach.
"We spent lots of time together," Julie says of she and Nichols, whom she married in 2005, "and at one point we went, 'Well, hey, you know, I kind of like you a lot.' We have a really good life. Everything we do is kind of wrapped around archery."
Nichols' backyard became Ellison's everyday training ground. Ellison joined Nichols on bowhunting and bowfishing outings. He shot against Nichols' peers on the backyard range.
"It really immersed me in the sport," Ellison says.
Coping with hip issue
Ellison also tried soccer, basketball and BMX racing, even though he was somewhat limited by a childhood bout with Perthes disease, a hip condition that required him to wear leg braces for more than a year.
He lives with chronic hip pain. He readily dismisses any effect a February 2008 hip dislocation might have had on him at the Beijing Games. Doctors found tears in his labrum and cartilage when he had surgery two months after the Olympics.
"I lived with hip pain my whole life, so I don't think it really bothered me too much," he says.
His faulty hips certainly did not slow his archery ascent. By summer 2005, Ellison was a top national competitor in compound shooting. He was invited to a camp at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif., even though compound bows are not used in Olympic competition.
During the camp, a string on Ellison's bow broke. He borrowed a friend's recurve (Olympic-style) bow.
"I hated it," Ellison says. "It was the most awful thing I'd ever done. But coaches said that I might be able to make an Olympic team or national team, that I might make a good recurve shooter. So they put this little bug in the back of my head."
Compound bows are much more mechanical; they have pulleys at the top and bottom of the bow that displace the weight (typically 60 pounds) when an archer draws and a trigger to release the arrow. The recurve is essentially just a bow and a string — relying more on the archer's strength, steady stance and finger release.
"When I was first starting off with the recurve, what felt like a good shot to me could hit nowhere close," Ellison says. "Learning that patience and discipline was what's been hardest for me."
Ellison moved to Chula Vista in January 2006 to live and train at the OTC. He was halfway through his junior year of high school (he eventually earned his GED).
His arrival coincided with that of Lee, who formerly coached the South Korean and Australian national teams. While Ellison considers that pairing fortuitous, Lee says Ellison's "natural talent has made him a champion."
Less than two years later, at 19, Ellison was the USA's top male qualifier for the 2008 Olympics.
"There's a lot of people I've seen that are very good shooters, but when the pressure was on and it counted, they kind of folded," Johnson says. "He handles the pressure well."
Ellison says he kept his composure at the Beijing Games but learned he needed to do more homework on the stadium — the wind patterns, the noise, the overall atmosphere. That's exactly what he and Nichols intend to do at the Olympic test event in London in early October. Nichols says he will take video and "thousands of pictures at every angle."
Then he will reconstruct Lord's Cricket Ground in the backyard, using sheets of fabric draped over the fences to create the scene and stereos to mimic the sounds.
"If I have him shoot the Olympics 10,000 times here," Nichols says, "he'll be ready for London."
And he won't be there for silver.

Belt showed up for last weekend's FanFest with a thick, yet neatly trimmed beard. It was not merely an offseason affectation.
"I'm probably going to keep it," said Belt, 25. "I think I received just enough compliments on it to make me want to keep it. I'm actually going for the 'grown adult man' look."
Belt's beard isn't his only apparent sign of maturity. The first baseman's performance in last season's final months indicated that he had begun to jell as a ballplayer. He hit .346 with seven home runs and 28 RBIs after Aug. 1 to finish with a .289 batting average and a career-high 39 doubles, 17 homers and 67 RBIs.
Belt's surge crested at Los Angeles on Sept. 14, when he became the first player in franchise history to amass five hits, six RBIs and four runs scored in one game as the Giants recorded a 19-3 triumph.
"You have to love his growth as a player last year," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "You're hoping he can carry that into this year."
If Belt succeeds, he'll become the latest Giants player to excel in tonsorial matters as well as baseball endeavors. Current closer Sergio Romo and former closer Brian Wilson ascended to All-Star status as their beards lengthened.
Belt started to thrive last year after changing his grip on the bat and moving deeper in the batter's box. Having implemented those changes, he believes he can sustain last year's season-ending productivity throughout 2014.
"This year, I want to be more consistent," Belt said.
Belt has added another subtle, yet significant adjustment. He's trying to maintain better balance in his stance as he awaits each pitch.
"The better you keep your balance, the better chance you have of seeing the ball," he said.
Some added muscle always helps, too. So Giants strength and conditioning coach Carl Kochan visited Belt at his Nacogdoches, Texas, home and tailored the his training regimen, from intensifying Belt's exercise routine to upgrading his diet.
"I pushed myself a little harder to see where I could get to," Belt said.
Belt's destination could be anywhere when the subject is San Francisco's batting order. He hit everywhere from the third through eighth spots last year, occupying the third (43 games) and sixth (54) positions most often. This made sense. Belt's gifted enough as an all-around hitter to bat third if Bochy needs him there, but the combined presence of Pablo Sandoval, Buster Posey and Hunter Pence often would push Belt down to sixth.
This season might be no different. But that doesn't matter to Belt. Wherever he hits, he intends to keep his swing razor sharp.
