Two Wheel Views 12-12
December 2012 Newsletter from Two Wheel View
P1 / ARGENTINA P2 / EARN A BIKE P3 / FAST PITCH P4 / TEN WAYS TO HELP A first hand account of a life-changing bicycle adventure, submitted by Two Wheel View participant, Gloria Nyokabi. More kids in Calgary are building community, learning and growing while earning pedal power. Two Wheel View continues to gain recognition in the local non-profit sector for its social innovation. Tired of the clutter in your garage? Wondering how to make a difference? Thinking about getting into shape? We can help! twowheel www.twowheelview.org VIEWS 2012 DECEMBER EDITION Reflections of Argentina Recently Two Wheel View hosted a trip to Argentina and I was very fortunate to be invited and experience all the wonderful aspects of that trip. I was amongst a group of nine students; all from very different backgrounds but in the end we came together as family with a passion for biking. Representing seven cultures, six countries and four continents, we rode for 450 km in Northern Argentina and once it was done we felt like we could conquer the world. I got a chance to experience new cultures and learned Castellano and Tagalog while I taught them Swahilli. A month ago I was getting ready for the trip and it was going to be my first time travelling all by myself and the second time travelling on a plane other than when I came to Canada. On the first and second day, we explored the city of Salta and it was truly splendid. Trying out new food, listening to new music, learning a new language; an experience which I wouldn't have gotten if it wasn't for Two Wheel View. >> CONT. PAGE TWO It's truly amazing how a group of strangers can come " together and in just a small amount of time become a family. " Reflections of Argentina >> CONT. FROM PAGE ONE We got the opportunity to explore Cafayate and Taffi de valle as well. While in Cafayate we got to be a part of the commemoration of the town founders. We also had a chance to get amazing handcrafted souvenirs to give to our families. To be honest I wasn't one of the strongest people while riding my bike but my group's encouragement and compassion motivated me to keep going. It's truly amazing how a group of strangers can come together and in just a small amount of time become a family. Nothing is impossible. Two Wheel View offers great possibilities for people who could never dream of travelling. Argentina has a lot to offer, warm and wonderful people, amazing landscapes that just draws your breath away and remarkable food. The empanadas are to die for, and come on, its Argentina you guys - warm weather YAY! This experience boosted my self-confidence and proved that everything is possible. I highly recommend going on the next trip if you have the chance. by Gloria Nyokabi 2012 Argentina Trip Participant Our Earn-a-Bike Program was very successful in the 2011-2012 school year with 103 bikes earned in 14 communities and we are on track for another great program year in 2012-2013. In our first session this year (September to November) we were proud to work with the communities of MacEwan, Midnapore, McKenzie and Radisson where 36 Earn-aBike participants received bicycles for their participation in our program. For those who may be unfamiliar with this program, Earn-a-Bike uses the bike as a tool to develop leadership and teamwork skills as well as bike mechanic capabilities in youth ages 11-17. Each week participants come to program where they receive a healthy snack, play games and discuss daily lessons in both character (community, leadership, self-esteem) and bike mechanics (fixing a tire, gear adjustments, chains, brakes etc). They have the opportunity to use tools and disassemble and reassemble bikes every week. Youth who attend all eight of the sessions earn a recycled bicycle of their own, along with a brand new lock and helmet to keep them and their bike safe. We are looking forward to working with groups like the Liberian Association of Southern Alberta, the Autism and Aspergers Friendship Society, Sherwood School, Forest Lawn Library and the communities of Applewood and Glenbrook during the next school year. A sincere thank you goes out to the Good Life Community Bike Shop for collecting bikes, repairing bike donations and for assisting us in facilitating these amazing programs. supporters, believers, friends, funders, difference makers Two Wheel View has been lucky to receive support from the following groups and individuals: Anonymous Foundation; Barry, Lyle and their friends and family who supported the student bike trip in Argentina; Cenovus Energy; City of Calgary FCSS; Corpen Group; Femmes of Frames Madeleine and Alyssa; FGL Sports; Minerva Foundation; Out of House Solutions; Red Rock Camps; Rotary Club of Calgary Fish Creek; Samantha Sedlowsky; Social Venture Partners; Sunalta School Argentina Summer 2012 Expedition Participants 4th Grade Recycling Club; Trico Foundation. 2 For the third year in a row Two Wheel View hosted our fall Impact Event September 30th, a showcase of our summer expedition programs. We were treated to great presentations from Tanya McFerrin and Sophie and Thomas Cleplef who went on the Norway Expedition and trip leader Jackie Mann and participant Jakarta Mackie who rode their way through the Northern part of Argentina. We were pleased to have other past participants there to IMPACT event show support for Two Wheel View as well: Monika Kang, Cindy Couch, Megan Flamand, Safi and Abdullah Cheema, Roland Yong, Gregory Gray, Christina Smith, Maureen Keough and trip leaders Jackie Mann and Jonny Barrett. Learning how to patch a tire is one of the most important parts of Earn-a-Bike FAST PITCH Fast Pitch: How do you pitch your passion in 180 seconds? Two Wheel View was fortunate to participate in Canada's first Social Innovation Fast Pitch November 5 at the Boyce Theatre at Stampede Park. The challenge was to craft a three-minute pitch encompassing your organization's mission, programs, the difference you are making in the community and your request for support. With help from three enthusiastic volunteer coaches from Calgary's corporate sector, we made it through to the finals to compete against seven other Calgary Area charities. While we didn't win the prize money, there were no losers, as it was a great chance to improve our communication skills, promote Two Wheel View, learn about some very inspirational Calgary organizations and create some promising new partnerships. A BIG thank you to Social Venture Partners and the Trico Foundation for hosting the event and to our great coaches, Katharine Zhang and Tyler Murray from Walsh LLP and Jolene Ondrik from Eye on Culture. SUMMER IN NORWAY It's 2:30 am, the early hours of the morning. The Two Wheel View cycle tour finishes their day with a ride off the coastal ferry and a 14km spin to home base, a sports hall called Storrehallen. Coasting along the bike path after climbing up and over a steep harbour bridge we see locals on their bikes and several people out walking their dogs! Where are we? Far above the Artic Circle, Norway. 24 hours of light – and plenty to fill it. Last July I co-led the All-ages Two Wheel View bike tour/cultural adventure. While exhilarating in itself, the biking is just a piece BY TANYA MCFERRIN of the action. Every day holds a unique opportunity to engage with the people of this northern land. A grandmother hosts a tremendous farm brunch spread, a friend explains the cod industry through a taste-and-learn field trip, wood burning hot tubs massage our muscles until the dash into the frigid water of the fjord rudely awakens them. Each night brings new insight – a hunting lodge, a room to rent on a tiny farm, sleeping under a net on an indoor soccer pitch. To encapsulate my experience I must just simply say, "Take the opportunity to go and join the Two Wheel View Norway tour yourself!" >> READ MORE ABOUT OUR WORK AT WWW.TWOWHEELVIEW.ORG 3 Volunteer Opportunities Two Wheel View depends on the hard work of volunteers to help us change kids' lives from the seat of a bike.

Intuitive repair if you are one of those people that take things apart & put them back together for kicks. Nothing fancy about this repair, as all the parts have no adjusting. Remove the 6 phillips heads screws on the inside of the dishwasher panel. The front electric panel comes off, leaving the inside exposed with the wires. Unhook 4 wires to the handle. Remove (2) star shaped screw headed screws. (The most difficult part if you don't have this bit.) New handle can only go in one way. Re-attach wires & screw panel back on. The latch required pulling the dishwasher out a couple inches from under the countertop to access the mounting screws. The dishwasher is held in place with 2 screws into the countertop/or side cabinet. Slide dishwasher out. Remove 2 screws and replace. Once again, there is only one way the latch can be installed. All is good, and easily accomplished in 5 minutes....if you have the "star" bit, which does come in a couple different sizes.

How Can I Keep From Singing?
By Robert Lowry
How Can I Keep From Singing? composed by Robert Lowry. Arranged by Cathy Moklebust. For 2-3 octave handbells with optional 2-3 octave handchimes. General. Level 3. Handbell score. 8 pages. Published by Hope Publishing Company (HP.2690).
In this arrangement of Robert Lowry's beloved hymn, composer Cathy Moklebust has paid particular attention to the word "singing" through rhythmic and chordal punctuation, and through use of the Singing Bell technique. Both versions of the tune are used; Robert Lowry's original lyric, flowing version in 3/4 meter, which uses plenty of LV and the optional use of handchimes, and the more contemporary version which is written in a rhythmic, energetic 4/4 meter, employing the use of malleted bells, and featuring the hymn tune played in a round. Editions for 2-3 octaves and 3-5 octaves are available, and are compatible for massed ringing.

Reasonable price
I'm satisfied with the product. The delivery time is also faster than expected. Great customer service. The only thing that made me give 4stars is because the selection of the envelope is very limited (white & cream only)
Turquiose beauty
My invitations are beautiful. I love the colors I choose and they came out better than I thought. Magnet Street maid it easy to choose style and color, and to edit. Love, Love, Love
My cousin got her save the dates for her upcoming wedding from MagnetStreet and recommended them to my fiance and I when shopping for wedding invitations. I was nervous at first to order something so important online but absolutely loved her save the dates so we decided to give it a try and ordered free samples of the invitation size and colors we liked. My Fiance and I were thrilled when we also discovered the "just one" deal and immediately took advantage. We were able to order one invitation with all the extras we wanted for no charge. It was so so so helpful to be able to see exactly how our invitation was going to look and feel. We were so in love with it we ordered all the rest! I was so impressed with how beautifully packaged all their products were. Nothing was ever bent or crushed and very protected during shipment. The staff is very friendly and responds quickly to all emailed questions. I was completely satisfied with the quality of product and service we received for the price. We got an amazing deal and it was worth every penny. I will definitely be using MagnetStreet again and HIGHLY recommend them!!!
I love them so much!
They go perfect for my winter wedding. Excellent service as well from magnetstreet.com

HAVING trouble remembering your password? Perhaps you need to use your heart instead of your head. An encryption system that uses the unique pattern of your heartbeat as a secret key could potentially be used to make a hard drive that will only decrypt in response to your touch.
Our heartbeats follow an irregular pattern that never quite repeats and that is unique to everyone. Chun-Liang Lin at the National Chung Hsing University in Taichung, Taiwan, and colleagues used an electrocardiograph (ECG) to extract the unique mathematical features underlying this pattern. They then used the information to generate a secret key that forms part of an encryption scheme based on the mathematics of chaos theory, by which small changes in initial conditions lead to very different outcomes.
As a proof of concept, Lin's system currently takes the user's ECG reading from each palm once, and a key based on that reading is stored and used for all later decryptions. He says the goal is to build the system into external hard drives and other devices that can be decrypted and encrypted simply by touching them.
The work will appear in the journal Information Sciences (DOI: 10.1016/j.ins.2012.01.016).

Re: Venture 17 restoration
Not sure what year my 17 is but my keel pivot is held in by an aluminum block contraption bracket and I can't figure it out. The keel fell off the pivot and now I'm trying to remove the brackets from the boat. I snapped one bolt off already and one was missing. Now I have one of the brackets out so I can see some of the components. I'm going to a shop to try their impact on the other bracket. 3/4" bolt head so it's pretty stout.
Anyway, what fell out so far on my driveway is a cracked brass bushing with a cotter pin thru the middle of it and an aluminum rod that slips inside the brass bushing. The cotter pin stops the aluminum rod at half engagement. I havent looked up into keel box to see what else there is to the pivot. I suspect that there is another brass bushing for the other side that may have fell out into the water when the keel popped loose.
Anyone know what this assembly is supposed to look like? I'm a machine designer and can't understand how it works. Are parts still available anywhere?
I have a pic but haven't learned how to post it yet. I thought I'd post this pic-less in case someone else knows about this pivot arrangement. I'll post the pic later.

The last 8 or 9 years we'd grown very close for many reasons. But the reality of it was we could tell each other anything and the other would
understand and not judge the other. We shared tears and beers and whoopee. We did Daytona twice a year, and went on vacations together,
and went to Christmas parties and halloween parties and birthday parties. I can't even go to the movies anymore. I haven't been to a NASCAR
race since her death. My life is on hold and even my girlfriend sees it. There's no joy in my heart and I'm miserable. I do have moments that I'm
fine and life seems so good. But then I feel guilty for having fun without my Sissy. Maybe time will heal my heart, but for now I'm in a very dark
place and want to get on with my life....

You are going through the stages of grief. At least she loved you while she was still alive. Remember her for what she was to you and how she valued your relationship. It would be worse if she was alive and well and you guys had no relationship at all. 'Tis my sad case. Yours is actually better.

The journal for today started out to be some background about the research mission of this cruise, and I promise to get back to that in a day or two, but I've got to share the excitement of the day.
Just as we were beginning to break after our first afternoon lecture, Vladimir came into the hall and announced that there was sea ice around the ship. We all bolted out to see our first true sign of the Arctic. Mind you, we didn't stay long wearing just our inside clothes — the temperature on deck was 37 °F with a wind chill of about 17 °F. After gearing up, many of us returned to the deck to take pictures or simply stare in awe at the chunks of ice surrounding the ship as far as the eye could see. The thing that struck me was being able to see the underwater portions of the ice chunks (as much as 80%). We passed through the band of ice within about 30 minutes.
Later as we sat in the dining hall for our afternoon tea, we saw another large expanse of sea ice in front of the ship. Several of us geared up and headed to the deck above the bridge to watch as we entered what seemed to be an endless sea of white punctuated by dark streaks of open water. The ship moved easily amongst most of the large floating pieces. When the icebreaker encountered larger chunks we heard the thunk of metal against ice and felt the gentle shudder of the ship. Larger masses resulted in more vibration and sound and the occasional slowing of our speed, but the ship moved through the bands of sea ice with remarkable ease.
Soon another sign of the Arctic appeared — two dark forms suddenly broke the surface of some open water just off the port side of the bow. I was alone on the top deck and wasn't sure what they were at first. Then one looked up at the ship — WALRUS! I had not really expected to see walruses, and here were two just below the bow. I leaned over to get a photo and the wind coming up over the front of the bridge almost took the camera out of my hands. I did, however, manage a couple of quick shots. We saw a total of five walruses over the next hour.
After the walrus sightings, a group of us went out on the bow to get a closer look at the sea ice. The excited voices and expressions reminded me of kids at an amusement park, complete with "ooohs" and "aaahhs" when a particularly big chunk of ice was hit.
Before the trip I had wondered how it would sound and feel when the icebreaker encountered ice. As I know now, it depends on the ice. Passing through patchy sea ice reminds me of the sound and vibration you experience when driving over rumble strips on the highway, with short or long bursts depending on the patch size. Thicker ice creates a more dramatic effect. If you happen to be lying in bed when the ship breaks through thick ice, it feels like a group of people are shaking and tilting your mattress for a second or two. Up on the 8th deck the sound of ice hitting the ship is muffled, but the lower you go, the more noticeable the sound becomes. I lowered a microphone over the bow and recorded the sounds of ice hitting metal, ice blocks bashing against other ice and water splashing up over the ice as the ship trudges forward.
Looking out my window, I'm having a hard time imagining that I will sleep much tonight, both for the anticipation of what we might see on the ice and, more likely, because of the shudders that vibrate through the ship as we plow ahead.

Just last month when we took a first look at the 2014 landscape we talked about how much Rick Snyder had improved his popularity during his second year in office and how he led a generic Democrat for reelection by 6 points, even as Barack Obama won the state comfortably.Three words are to blame here: right to work. Well, of course, Snyder himself is to blame: After telling the state of Michigan that he would not push through anti-union and anti-worker "right to work" legislation (that Orwellian epithet really means "right to work for less"), he went ahead and did exactly that during a shameful lame-duck session of the legislature. (Michigan Republicans lost seats this November, so they wanted to force a vote while they still had greater numbers.) Overall, voters oppose RTW 51-41, and a similar 49-40 margin says they'd vote to overturn the law if given the chance at the ballot box.
Last week he threw all that out the window.
We now find Snyder as one of the most unpopular Governors in the country. Only 38% of voters approve of him to 56% who disapprove. There are only 2 other sitting Governors we've polled on who have a worse net approval rating than Snyder's -18. He's dropped a net 28 points from our last poll on him, the weekend before the election, when he was at a +10 spread (47/37).
And now for the really fun stuff. If Snyder does indeed run for a second term—something he previously said he might not do—well, he'd get pummeled, if his fortunes don't somehow turn around. Here's how he does against a passel of possible contenders:
38-49 vs. 2010 nominee Virg BerneroNote that ceiling of 38 to 39 percent for Snyder: All of his potential opponents are unknown to half the state, even Bernero. That means, at least right now, voters are really thinking "anyone but Snyder." Hell, as Tom Jensen points out, Bernero lost by 18 points in 2010, so these new numbers constitute a remarkable 29-point reversal of fortune.
39-47 vs. Rep. Gary Peters
38-46 vs. state Senate Minority Leader Gretchen Whitmer
39-44 vs. ex-Rep. Mark Schauer
Don't be thinking recall, though: Voters still oppose the notion 48-44, and as we saw in Wisconsin, those numbers tend to get worse over time, not better. And Tom also notes that Snyder's bounced back before: He started his term in office with an abysmal 33-50 job approval score. Now, though, with the midterm election cycle already underway, Democrats and labor unions won't take their boots off Snyder's neck—and hopefully things will stay that way until Nov. 2014.
P.S. Republicans in the legislature are also getting slaughtered over this. They currently have a 31-58 approval rating (versus 46-37 for Democrats), leading to an eye-popping 56-32 lead for Dems on the generic congressional ballot. PPP calls that "one of the most lopsided generic ballots we've ever seen in any state." It's just too bad the next elections are so far off!

* The Group G match between Germany and Portugal is to begin at 21:30 IST
Germany is set to play Portugal in the first Group G match of the FIFA World Cup 2014. Germany went on to the semi-finals in the 2010 World Cup, although losing out to Spain. While Portugal was knocked out by Spain as well just before the quarter finals. This match will prove to be quite a tough one, both teams boasting strong sides. Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo has been cleared to play, however his injury might prove to be the downfall of the Portuguese side. Germany on the other hand have a strong opening line-up.
Joachim Low announces Germany's provisional 30-man squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Low's selection of the World Cup squad was surprising for football fans as the 28-year old Fiorentina striker Mario Gomez is left out of the squad, who is replaced by 35-year old Lazio striker Miroslav Klose.
Mario Gomez has been capped 59 times for the German National team, scoring on 25 occasions. Joining Fiorentina in the summer of 2013, Gomez has managed only 9 Seria A appearances, scoring only 3 goals. A knee injury Gomez sustained in a 1-1 draw against Calgliari kept him out till Fiorentina's match against Internazionale, on 15th Febuary 2014. Unfortunately, Gomez damaged the ligaments of his left knee on 23rd March in a match against S.S.C. Napoli, keeping him out until the end of the season. This knee injury became the reason for Gomez missing the Italian Championship and Coppa Italia final, along with 2014 FIFA World Cup. Read More
Germany v/s Portugal match preview: Germany expected to top Group G:
Eerily sublime. There is no other phrase for it. If someone tells you German football is beautiful, chances are, they have had one too many Maß. The Teutons lack the Italian sprezzaturra or the Brazilian samba in their game, that lightness of being and confidence of domination. Rather, the Germans approach their game like a highly skilled micro surgeon. Easily switching from long-ball to a deceptive kleinklein at a moment's notice, the Mannschaft, as the German team is called, can be a spectre of dread for its opponents.
Yet football is hardly about technique. It is about righting ancient wrongs, settling grudges, and rubbing your rival's face in your civilisational superiority. So what makes Germany such a favoured team? Actually, what might be mistaken for support is nothing but grudging respect from its rivals. German fans, outside of the home country, of course, are rare and mostly found in the outposts of the footballing world like the United States or India. This is because the the United States has an admirable quality of forgiving its enemies once they have been vanquished and for the Indians, well, it was a white man's war. For those not caught up in Europe's foibles, the aura of German sporting power, even excluding football, is hypnotising: Boris Becker, Steffi Graf, Katarina Witt, Marita Koch, Michael Schumaker, Heike Drechsler, Betty Heidler, Max Hoff...

Germany Team Profile:
The Soft Machine.
A giant of the game with three World Cups and three European Champions titles to their name, Germany will once again be amongst the favourites as a swathe of talented stars add creativity to their traditionally powerful game. After going out at the semis in 2006, assistant Jogi Loew took over from Jurgen Klinsman as coach, taking his side to the Euro 2008 final and the semi-finals of the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012. His contract will be extended beyond Brazil.
Portugal Team Profile:
The Dark Horse in the tournament.
Portugal have often done well in international tournaments but have never won one, but with Cristiano Ronaldo at his peak and a handful of very good players backing up the superstar they are credible outsiders at Brazil 2014. Portugal will feel at home in Brazil, sharing a language and a great deal of culture with the hosts.
Will Cristiano Ronaldo do it for Portugal?
A lot will come down to Ronaldo's performance and the Real Madrid striker showed his ability in the play-off with Sweden scoring four exceptional goals in the 1-0, 3-2 (4-2 on aggregate) win over Zlatan Ibrahimovic's side.
Prior to that Ronaldo had scored eight of their 20 group goals, and more worryingly, picked up five yellow cards in 10 outings. This is the eighth consecutive qualification for an international tournament for Portugal and Paolo Bento's charges only fell on a penalty shoot-out to Spain in the semis at Euro 2012 after a thrilling and tight encounter.
Portugal also lost to Spain (1-0) in the second round out in South Africa four years ago. Read the Full Team Profile Here.

More states make right to hunt bulletproof
"What's broken here?" Bahr said. "This is an organizing tool. The biggest threat to hunting is that people will stop doing it - not that it will be banned."
Douglas Shinkel, a policy specialist who tracks the issue for the National Conference of State Legislatures, said that flagging interest in hunting is a cause of concern. A 2007 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service study found that the number of hunters 16 and older fell by 10 percent between 1996 and 2006 - from 14 million to about 12.5 million.
"In general, hunting and fishing has been going down," he said.
While acknowledging little organized opposition, hunting rights advocates cited some localized efforts to limit hunting, including a ban on dove hunting approved by Michigan voters in 2006, a five-year ban on bear hunting in New Jersey that ended last year and talks about possibly banning boar hunts in New York as officials consider options for a surging feral pig population.
Sen. Pete Pirsch of Omaha, who sponsored the proposed Nebraska amendment, said he will introduce his proposal again when the Nebraska Legislature convenes next year.
"The problem is, if you don't address it as an issue right now, you may not be able to do anything about it until it's too late," he said.

Born in Newark, N.J., Mary grew up in the Ironbound section of Newark, N.J., and resided there until 1967. She was very active in St. Aloysius Church and school as a member of the Rosary Society; she was also a member of the Ironbound Boys Club, where she ran calendar parties and various dances. Mary later moved to Union, N.J., where she became an active communicant of St. Michael's parish. She volunteered at the school by running the school library and helping with the school plays. Mary was a Eucharistic minister, and was a member of many clubs and organizations including the Catholic Daughters and St. Michael Cursillo, and the Ladies Auxiliary of the Michael A. Kelly VFW Post 2243 in Union. She visited the homebound and nursing homes. Mary loved to dance, and was an avid crafter, using her talents to make hundreds of lap rugs and scarves for Relay for Life; she also made wreaths for St. Michael's Church for Easter and helped decorate for Christmas. Her greatest love, however, was her family. Mary was predeceased by her beloved husband, Al; her parents, William and Mary Vesey; her son, Thomas, and brother, William. She is survived by her loving daughters, Patricia Halicki and her husband, Mark; Cecilia Petela and her husband, John, and Mary Ann Hogerty and husband, Daniel, as well as her seven grandchildren; sister, Rita Boan, and daughter-in-law Joan.

The 17th-ranked Swiss, who has played his career in Roger Federer's shadow, had not beaten Djokovic since 2006. Yet, here he was, poised to take a two-sets-to-love lead, having broken the Serb's serve four consecutive times. In the end, it was not the Djokovic recovery that was surprising, but the fact Wawrinka, not known for the steadiness of his nerves in a crisis, battled him for 5 hours, 2 minutes before succumbing 1-6, 7-5, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 12-10. It was a magnificent duel, easily the best match of this Australian Open so far, and, in Wawrinka's opinion, the best match he has ever played in his 11 years on the tour. "I was playing great tennis; I fought like a dog," he said after dragging an exhausted body into his press conference at 2:35 a.m. "But in the end, he was better." Djokovic was obviously greatly relieved t...

How the Koch Brothers Became America's Most Powerful and Private Dynasty
Wednesday, June 11, 2014
Daniel Schulman, a senior editor at Mother Jones, looks at how the Kochs became one of the most influential dynasties of the modern age. In his biography Sons of Wichita: How the Koch Brothers Became America's Most Powerful and Private Dynasty, he traces the complicated lives and legacies of the four tycoons, as well as their business and social ambitions. Schulman also looks at how Charles and David Koch have spent years and millions of dollars building their influence within the Republican Party.
Guests:Daniel Schulman
Comments [15]
Love that honest comment of Frank from Manhattan. "The only thing wrong with tainted money, there taint enough of it." I think this represents the mentality of quite a few of us.
The NYS theater was designed for ballet. Acoustically, it was a dead theater, which was perfect for ballet. The audience does not hear the noise that dancers make when their feet hit the stage floor. Unfortunately, the NYC opera moved to this theater. An acoustically dead theater does not work for opera. So, Koch funded this massive renovation for the opera and within two years or so, NYC went bankrupt!!! So now , we have a huge theater that is used primarily for dance performances and the audiences are can hear every squeak and thump of the dancers feet!!! Good going, David!!!
The Met Museum does not need a new fountain plaza. They already have more money than they know what to with, but still ask for more. But these huge arts institutions will take money from the devil if the price to pay is renaming rights!!!
What would the met, nystheater et al have done if the Koch money only came with the caveat that the theater be renamed "the Americans for Prosperity Theater". The hypocrisy of these organizations is stupendous.
Check out "The Kochtopus"-
SEE: What $92 Billion Buys, In A Single Image
FYI, David Koch did not write a check for $100 million. His gift to renovate the former NY State Theater is a total of $100, paid over 10 years. In other words, $10 million a year. I'm a member of the NYC Opera Orchestra and the NY State Theater was our home during the renovation period.
Guess what? I just got an email about a watch party for a movie called "America Has a Koch Problem." What has Mr. Schulman heard about that?
As one foundation head said when asked if they'd accept donations from infamous sources. The only thing wrong with tainted money is there 'taint enough of it.
The Koch Brothers pay the GOP to protect their fossil fuel industries from solar, wind and electric cars. Their sole objective is to save their livelihoods from the inevitable.

This is disturbing:
'BERNIE SANDERS Uncovers 1980 Koch Agenda- "What Do the Koch Brothers Want?"'
It boils down to: 'abolish the government.'
Who was the Koch brothers' mother? Was she around during their childhood? Was she on board w/the harsh upbringing their father gave them, or did she oppose it? What role did she have in this whole story?
Interesting how their dysfunctional upbringing formed the foundation for the dysfunctional vision they're now foisting upon America.
Some may not remember the John Birch Society, but I do. In Junior High School I was horrified by the glee expressed by a classmate whose parents were active members at the news of the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
(But why is Charles looking like Stephen Colbert in that photo? LOL.)
Nonsense. The John Birch Society's (And the Koch father's) opposition to the Civil Rights Movement reflected more than 'anti-communism'; they most definitely supported the race terrorist regime. Grow up.

So what do you do? Grab a drink with your boyfriend and ask him to talk with you about his kinks. Don't say, "Hey, do you really want me to fuck your friends? Because I would—I totally would—if that's what you wanted!" Instead, tell him you want to talk about his fantasies in a general, open-ended way because, hey, healthy couples can talk about their sexual fantasies. Start by telling him what turns you on about these fantasies, PHM, and then ask him what turns him on about them. Hopefully, he'll open up, and you'll get some clarity about the IRL issue.
But if he can't bring himself to talk about his fantasies when you aren't fucking, that means you're never gonna fuck his friends IRL. Not because he doesn't want you to—he may—but because realizing these sorts of fantasies requires open, honest and exhaustive communication. And if he can't do that (communicate with you), PHM, you can't do them (his friends).

Off my chest
By EVO 13 Comments
Been awhile since I wrote a blog, and I got a lotta shit to get off my chest:
2011 What a fucking amazing year for games. I say this every year, thinking the next won't top it, but this year is shaping up to be the best year for games ever. And I haven't even played Child of Eden yet.
America I went to America for 8 weeks. Road trip from San Fran to New York with a friend of mine. But that's another blog.
Assassin's CreedI finally got this game. I haven't played it yet, and I probably won't for some time, but it's there waiting for me til the next game drought. I've been putting it off for years, partly because I only owned a PS3 at the time of release and didn't want an inferior version, and partly because of how repetitive it's supposed to be.
Also, I finally got
Dead Rising This game, along with Alan Wake, is what I bought an Xbox for. I'd been searching for ages for a brand new, black label copy of it. I finally got lucky the other day and found one for $16. Thing is, it's NTSC and my console is PAL. So like Assassin's Creed, Dead Rising will have to wait for some time.
DisgaeaThe upcoming release of Digaea 4 reminded me of something I've been wondering for years: just how the fuck do you pronounce it? Dis-gay-a?
Footy[This will go over most non-Australians heads]
As I get older, I find myself liking footy more and more. Perhaps it's because the Bombers are doing ok this year, perhaps it's because I graduated high school and grew out of the jocks vs. skaters mentality. All I know is I'm really fucking hyped for the finals.
Mana BarThis finally opened up when I was overseas, and it's awesome. Any fellow Melbournians been? Since I got back I've been there 3 times already.
It's a bit cramped, it closes too early and the line is fucked, but video games + cocktails is always great night out.
I've been flogging this song lately--on the way to work, on the way home, as my alarm clock--I can't get enough of it.
Also, I just heard this on the radio:
Another vinyl I recently got is Earthless' Sonic Prayer. I saw them live back in January and they melted my face.
That's a pretty eclectic taste if I say so myself. As soon as I get my tax return I'm gonna buy a 1200 and some HD 25s to listen to all my new LPs, if you know what I'm talking about.

What else do you need to know before parathyroidectomy?
Parathyroidectomy usually takes up to three hours. In most situations, the surgery is performed at a hospital or at an outpatient surgery center. An anesthesiologist provides anesthesia and monitors patients throughout the surgery. The anesthesiologist calls the night before surgery to review each patient's medical history or talks to the patient on the morning of the surgery. If preoperative laboratory studies are ordered, they are done several days before the surgery to allow enough time for the results to be obtained and sent to the surgeon and anesthesiologist.
Most patients are told not take aspirin or any product containing aspirin for 10 days prior to surgery in order to prevent aspirin from increasing bleeding at the time of surgery. Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory medications, or NSAIDs, (such as Advil, Motrin, Ibuprofen, Naprosyn, Aleve, etc.) also are stopped several days prior to the surgery for the same reason. It is important to note that many over-the-counter products contain aspirin or ibuprofen, so it is important that patients carefully check all medications that they are taking. If there is any question about a medication, patients should call their doctor's office or consult with their pharmacist. Tylenol is an acceptable pain reliever if a pain reliever is needed prior to surgery. Doctors often give patients their prescriptions for postoperative medications at the preoperative visit so that they may have them filled prior to the surgery. Surgeons may advise purchasing calcium-containing antacids such as Tums-Extra Strength tablets in case the blood calcium drops after surgery and calcium supplements are needed. The amount and duration of supplementation is determined by the surgeon.
Patients do not eat or drink anything for approximately six hours prior to the time of surgery. This includes even water, candy, or chewing gum. Anything in the stomach increases the chances of an anesthetic complication.
Smokers should make every effort to stop smoking (or at least reduce the number of daily cigarettes). This may improve the healing process and reduce postoperative coughing and bleeding.

Throw any leftover or stale whole wheat bread or baguettes in a food processor and make up your own whole wheat bread crumbs. Throw in the freezer until it's time to use them.
Since I can't find whole wheat bread crumbs in the store, I just make my own! I save the heels from the loaf of 100% whole wheat bread and throw them in a ziplock bag in the freezer. When the ziplock bag gets full of frozen heels, I just take out my food processor and stuff them in! Voila! 100% Whole Wheat Bread Crumbs! I just store them in the freezer in a quart size bag. Great for coating baked chicken or fish!
You can still enjoy food. Just eat the healthier version
I learned this from the Eat This, NOt That books. Read carefully when buying breads and things. If it says "wheat bread" or "made with wheat" or "made with whole grains", it is NOT WHOLE WHEAT/GRAIN. It just has some thrown in, and the rest is just processed white flour. It must say "Whole Wheat" or "100% whole wheat" for it to really be whole grain.

An email with the subject line: "How Ayn Rand and Murray Rothbard Took Liberty Down the Wrong Road" from friend & fellow DPer Nelson Hultberg, who just wrote a new book that challenges the traditional orthodoxy of the dominant Anarchist strain of modern day libertarianism.
I took the liberty of reposting it here:
I expect a full force attack, with Nelson (and maybe me, simply for posting it) getting the Rupert Sheldrake treatment.

Morgan Park's first two games in the Proviso West Holiday Tournament included plenty of flash and highlight-reel moments.
Saturday's final quarterfinal was more of a grind-it-out style , with No. 6 Morgan Park gutting out a 77-60 victory against No. 20 Fenwick. The Mustangs (9-1) will play Bogan for the second time this season Monday in an 8 p.m. semifinal. Bogan, which defeated Providence-St. Mel in overtime in a quarterfinal Saturday, beat the Mustangs on their home court earlier this month.
"We wanted to get the win (tonight) because last time they (Bogan) beat us at our house and that kind of put us down," said Morgan Park forward Josh Cunningham, who had 23 points, 15 rebounds and five steals against Fenwick. "That was our first loss at home in a long time, and we really want to get them back for that."
The Mustangs finally put away a pesky Fenwick team that kept hanging around when Kain Harris scored eight of his 12 points during a seven-possession swing in the second half.
"A lot of people didn't really have a big game, but we all stepped up and I just tried to do whatever I could to get our team to a victory," Cunningham said.
The Friars (10-3) battled the Mustangs for nearly three quarters despite missing Northwestern-bound guard Scott Lindsey (broken leg) and guard Keshaun Smith (ankle). Tom Planek scored 18 points and Mike Smith stepped up with another big effort with 17 points and a pair of 3-pointers.
Player of the game: Josh Cunningham, Morgan Park, 23 points, 15 rebounds, 5 steals.
Key performers: Fenwick — Tom Planek, 18 points, 5 rebounds; Mike Smith, 17 points. Morgan Park — Charlie Moore, 16 points, 6 assists; Kain Harris, 12 points, 4 rebounds.Copyright © 2015, Chicago Tribune
