Unicycle articles (but wait there's more...)
leo wrote: http://tinyurl.com/b73ds Here's the article: Wayne, Beverly Kinzie to Lead Northwestern Homecoming Parade 10/13/05 Email this story to a friend Photo 1 ... PHOTO1: Wayne and Beverly Kinzie are the honorary parade marshals for Northwestern Oklahoma State University's homecoming parade and will be leading the way at 10 a.m., Saturday. PHOTO2: Wayne Kinzie (in his younger days) balances atop a seven-foot unicycle. He rode the cycle with the Northwestern Oklahoma State University band while attending college there. He and his wife, Beverly, are honorary marshals for Northwestern's homecoming parade at 10 a.m., Saturday. Through more than 40 years of marriage, family and running several businesses, Wayne and Beverly Kinzie have always been there for each other and the same will hold true this Saturday as they lead the Northwestern Oklahoma State University homecoming parade. The Kinzies, who served for many years on the General Homecoming Committee, have been invited to serve as honorary parade marshals for the parade that begins at 10 a.m. at the northeast corner of Alva's square. Both Kinzies attended NortPhoto 2 hwestern, as did all of their children -- so their ties to the university run deep. Wayne was born and raised in Alva and Beverly comes from eastern Oklahoma. They met through Wayne's sister, who was attending Oklahoma City University with Beverly. They married in 1961. While still in college in the 1950s, Wayne started an airplane repair business. He learned to fly while in high school, and he always has had an interest in planes. He actually bought two wrecked planes and rebuilt them into one that he sold. After college, the Kinzies started a lawn mower and bicycle repair shop downtown because unicycles and high wheel cycles are interests of his. In fact, when he was in college and a member of the band, the band director discovered that Wayne had a seven-foot-tall unicycle that he rode for fun. After that, Wayne was relieved of his trumpet-playing duties and rode the unicycle with the band, including appearances in the Oklahoma State Fair parade in Oklahoma City. "I don't know if it was because he really liked the unicycle or if my trumpet playing was that bad," Kinzie said. But airplanes were always in the back of his mind, so Wayne repaired both bicycles and airplanes for awhile. Then the Alva Industrial Foundation (AIF) built the building that bears the name Kinzie Industries at the Alva Airport. He moved the airplane business there and later branched out into helicopter repair, eventually buying the building from the AIF. The business expanded and grew until Kinzie Industries was providing helicopter parts worldwide. As Wayne puts it, "There aren't enough helicopters in Oklahoma to keep a business going for a year." The company sold parts, overhauled engines and serviced the whole machine. Throughout the building up of Kinzie Industries, Beverly was providing organizational and bookkeeping services. For 20 years, her office was on the second floor of their home so she could work and raise her family at the same time. The main drawback of that arrangement was having to answer phone calls 24 hours a day. "Customers from New Zealand would call at 3 a.m. Alva time," the Kinzies explained. Later, Beverly and the Kinzies' son, Paul, started Plane Plastics as an offshoot of Kinzie Industries. That business was located on Flynn Street, so Beverly moved her office to the corner of College Avenue and Murray Drive so she was situated halfway between the two. After Plane Plastics was sold, the office finally ended up back at the airport. Although the Kinzies are now "retired," they are still in business. Wayne continues to sell helicopter parts, and Beverly keeps the work organized. They also have rental property to manage, and he has trains (from model to full size) and antique cars and trucks to keep him busy. He annually (but not this year) drives the Alumni Association board of directors around the square in the homecoming parade in an antique truck. Beverly's interests lie in quilting and gardening, although that will have to take a backseat for a time as she plans to have knee replacement surgery shortly after homecoming. They also have seven grandchildren to keep them on their toes. They became involved in homecoming because Wayne once remarked to the late Dan Shorter that "such and such" should have been in the parade. The next year, Shorter called him up and told him to come to a homecoming meeting and help. That was in the mid-1970s. Shorter and Wayne worked together for approximately 20 years, arranging for "special attractions" to appear at homecoming. Those attractions could range from a small carnival that used to set up on Fifth Street in front of the post office to a longhorn steer ridden by his owner in the parade. Also, the Red Carpet Mule Train made annual visits. Throughout the years, Beverly was right there, keeping Wayne's special attractions organized, just as she did with the businesses. "Whatever one of us did, the other was always there to help," Wayne said. While they ran Kinzie Industries, they always hired college students as workers. The Kinzies estimate that through the years they employed more than 400 students. One of them was current Northwestern director of housing and of students Marc Wallace, who now is in charge of special attractions for homecoming. Another was Allen "Skeeter" Bird, the new executive director of the Northwestern Foundation. Non-student former employees of Kinzies' with Northwestern ties include Lizabeth Richey, current Alumni Association director, and Jim Detgen, physical plant director. The Kinzies' oldest child, Paul, who received the Foundation's Recognition Award in 1987, graduated from Northwestern in 1985. He now is a stay-at-home dad and lives in Fayetteville, N.C. His wife, Elizabeth, is a doctor of internal medicine and psychiatry with the U.S. Army and is assigned to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to work with Middle Eastern prisoners. They have a 2-year-old son, Spencer Wayne. Mark is with a law firm in St. Louis, Mo. He has a 10-year-old son, Duncan. Timothy, a 1988 graduate, is a doctor with St. John's Medical Clinic in Branson, Mo. He and his wife, Diane, have three children: Zoe, 3; Nicholas, 2, and Riley, 4 months. Teresa is married to Kyle Malzahn, a 1996 Northwestern graduate. She is a representative for Edward Jones in Oklahoma City, and he is at teacher at Santa Fe High School. They have two children: Hannah, 8, and Dane, 19 months. All the children and their families will be present Saturday to watch mom and dad lead the homecoming parade. ©2004 MyWebPal.com.

Here's the article; Unicycle Fury! Tuesday October 18th, 2005 @ 4:42 PM Filed under: Non-Fishing, Funny, Sports, Videos Here at Fishing Fury we love anything that’s new and exciting, cover it in lighter fluid, set it on fire and we’ll love it even more. My good friend Philip Barbosa, who’s been featured in Beginners Luck; Gracefully Out-Fished by a Novice, has turned me on to the relatively new extreme sport of unicycling. I won’t be riding off with the big boys just yet, but I’m in the process of learning the basics. If you’re a fan of skateboarding, BMX, or rollerblading you’ve no doubt seen some awesome jaw-dropping tricks performed. Well, prepare to pick your jaw up off the floor after watching these two videos. First, we have the Spaced Out Trailer, I believe filmed in and around Toronto, in which riders display an amazing ammount of technical skill in a variety of styles. Now, lets break out the lighter fluid I mentioned earlier and get a game of Flaming Puck Unicycle Hockey going. For more information about extreme unicycling check out Unicyclist.com, KrisHolm.com and Wikipedia. Hopefully Phil can supply me with some more links and videos when he gets off of work.

Copy pasting is time-consuming, and with services like the Google cache, archive.org, etc. or sometimes a little bit of hacking you will find back the dead links. Wading trough all content published on the internet that contains the string "unicycl*" is a time-consuming enough. (last 2 weeks I did'nt even read headlines). Adventually I may build a web-bot with moderator(s!) interface from where -after reviewing the articles- you could post relevant content straight into RSU. Untill then I will post just url's.

I'd think it'd take a greater amount of time trying to find a dead link or even copying and pasting the URL? If you blindly copy-past I agree -the copy-pasting itself- only takes 5 seconds. But in most cases outlining is done by tables, and I always like fix the differences... or double returns, or... what if you want to be 100% sure of mention the correct copright notice or writer's name when it is not clearly mentioned? Like this one: http://www.citynews.com.au/news/Article.asp?id=4064 ...takes a bit more than those 5 seconds, isn't? Anyway, IF I'll make that webbot, I guess I may invite you as moderator? (to review and approve articles that contains "unicycl*" are relevant, before posting) If so, I gladly spend my time on developing that. but 1st i'll have to fix a couple of large and complex websites, besides doing maintainance of an entire server-farm, and finish 're'doing the video content of unicyclist.org' (http://www1.unicyclist.org/blog/show.cfm?serial=00748) -- leo *'+1 866-uni-cycl' (callto://+18668642925) 'unicycle.net' (http://www.unicycle.net/) 'subscribe' (http://www.unicyclist.org/cont/subscribe.cfm) to 'unicyclist.org' (http://www.unicyclist.org/)!* -"In trade they promised me 72 virgins, but they could not even tell of what sex."- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leo's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/224 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/22148 |

Like this one: http://www.citynews.com.au/news/Article.asp?id=4064 ...takes a bit more than those 5 seconds, isn't? Well I just blindly copy and paste so guess we're both right in a way. I don't worry about copyright issues on this forum. I really hardly doubt that anyone would find them in the first place and then complain about it and then do legal action especially since I'm not sayinig it's my writing and/or making money from doing it. I'm willing to take that very minimal slight risk. Here's the said article/link; ACT Tourism Minister Ted Quinlan launched the inaugural Brindabella Challenge, Australia’s largest variety cycling event, in front of Old Parliament House last week. The racing began early when veteran Tour de France cyclist Stephen Hodge and three elite athletes from the Australian Institute of Sport challenged Australian Capital Tourism’s Chief Executive Officer Ross MacDiarmid and sporting mascot Brumby Jack to a race with a difference. Contestants competed using unusual bikes including a unicycle, recumbent and even old-world bicycles. The Brindabella Challenge hits Canberra from 2 to 4 December with a huge range of events, activities and races for all ages and levels of riders taking place in and around Canberra. The event promises to have something for everyone, including more than $30,000 in prize money for road, mountain bike and BMX competitions, a range of recreational rides and an exciting entertainment program.
