"Because it's there" - George Mallory

(Responding to the question "Why do you want to climb Mount Everest?" )

Couple small examples from bikers - bike riders, pros or video makers, but driven by the desire to do something new. You see this mentality everywhere among quality whites. (Side note: most 'originality' is just what these guys are describing - modest takeoffs on something already existing.)

These are taken from a Salt Lake giveaway rag "Slug." "Slug" covers the scene in SLC - 20-somethings who are riding, opening clothes shops, making low-listened music, building their own bikes and motorcyles and cars. Remember that SLC and Provot is close to unique on earth as the one location whites breed at considerably higher than replacement numbers. So the culture here, while much similar to 'judeo-alternative' culture elsewhere, has a strong admixture of whiteness.

Oops. I lost the paper. Anyway, the quotes were basically along the lines of I ride to ride. I work on the bike, I build it the way I want, I open my eyes to the environment, I find things to make new daring tricks on. If others join me, great, if not, great too, if others tape me, great, if not, great too, if others sponsor me, great, if not, great too.

There are confluent spirits of camaraderie and competition and individualism and bare naked questing in these bicyclers.

"Which one of you assholes is going to come in second?" -- Larry Bird in locker room to competitors in three-point contest.

Paraphrase, "I'm going to win the gold, everybody else is just here for the silver." -- Bill Johnson, before the downhill in Sarajevo in 1984. He did win the gold.

Willie Wonka, dancing down and up and down and ??? the stairs in his chocolate factory while the fuddled golden ticketeers and their loiners try to figure out his next move.

Wonka's sayings (that is Norwegian Britisher Roald Dahl's sayings) also show the White spirit:

- "a little madness now and then is relished by the wisest men."

And too, his catching the mouth of juvenescent snotgirl mid-razz (Snozzberries?!! Ther's no such thing as snozzberries!) with the soft and dulcet:

"We are the music-makers. And we are the dreamers of dreams."

The hobbling cum pratfall Wonka does on introduction is also mighty White of him.

A principal reason for the failure of National Socialism to attract adherents is its lack of hypocrisy. National Socialists state openly that conflict is a law of nature, and adopt a sporting attitude: may the better man win, may the best country win, may the better race win.

LANSA Flight 508 was a Lockheed L-188A Electra turboprop, registered OB-R-941, operated as a scheduled domestic passenger flight by Lineas Aéreas Nacionales Sociedad Anonima (LANSA), that crashed in a thunderstorm en route from Lima, Peru to Pucallpa, Peru, on December 24, 1971, killing 91 people – all 6 of its crew and 85 of its 86 passengers.[2] The sole survivor was a 17-year-old girl who fell 2 miles (3 km) down into the Amazon rainforest strapped to her seat and remarkably survived the fall, and was then able to walk through the jungle for 10 days until she was rescued by local lumbermen.

LANSA Flight 508 departed Lima's Jorge Chávez International Airport just before noon on Christmas Eve on its way to Iquitos, Peru, with a scheduled stop at Pucallpa, Peru. The aircraft was flying at Flight Level 210 (about 21,000 ft / 6,400 m above Mean Sea Level) when it encountered an area of thunderstorms and severe turbulence. There was evidence the crew decided to continue the flight despite the hazardous weather ahead, apparently due to pressures related to meeting the holiday schedule.[5][6]

At about 12:36 p.m. local time, a lightning strike ignited the fuel tank in the right wing, which quickly led to structural failure of the aircraft. As the plane disintegrated, a 17-year-old German Peruvian teenager, Juliane Koepcke, fell down into the Amazon rainforest 2 miles (3 km) below, strapped to her seat. Despite sustaining a broken collar bone, a deep gash to her right arm, a concussion and an eye injury in the fall, she was able to trek through the dense Amazon jungle for 10 days, until she was rescued by local lumbermen, who subsequently took her by canoe back to civilization. It was later discovered that as many as 14 other passengers also survived the initial fall from the disintegrated plane but were unable to seek help and died while awaiting rescue.

. . .

Juliane Koepcke was a high school senior studying in Lima, intending to become a zoologist, like her father, Hans-Wilhelm Koepcke. Her mother, Maria Koepcke, a leading Peruvian ornithologist, was travelling with Juliane from Lima to meet the father who was working in Pucallpa.

When Koepcke landed in the jungle, still strapped to her seat, she had a broken collar bone and an eye injury. She had learned survival skills from her father and was able to follow a small stream until she reached a logging camp eleven days later, from where she was rescued and returned to Pucallpa.

Koepcke's survival was featured in a television documentary film called Wings of Hope in 2000 by director Werner Herzog,[7] who was almost on Flight 508 himself. Koepcke's memoir Als ich vom Himmel fiel has been published by the German publisher Piper Malik on March 10, 2011.[8] (The English edition When I Fell From the Sky, was published by Titletown Publishing on November, 2011.)

I want to cite the example of the first and only Nobel Prize laureate to hail from my home city - as far as I know. Kal isn't exactly renowned for the intellectual prowess of its inhabitants.

Anyway- presenting Professor Barry Marshall, who along with his work partner Robin Warren, discovered helicobacter pylorii and further discovered that it, and not 'spicy foods' or 'stress' or 'too much acid in the stomach', caused stomach ulcers:

In 1982, they performed the initial culture of H. pylori and developed their hypothesis related to the bacterial cause of peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. It has been claimed that the H. pylori theory was ridiculed by the establishment scientists and doctors, who did not believe that any bacteria could live in the acidic environment of the stomach. Marshall has been quoted as saying in 1998 that "(e)veryone was against me, but I knew I was right." On the other hand, it has also been argued that medical researchers showed a proper degree of scientific skepticism until the H. pylori hypothesis could be supported by evidence.

After failed attempts to infect piglets in 1984, Marshall, after having a baseline endoscopy done, drank a Petri dish containing cultured H. pylori, expecting to develop, perhaps years later, an ulcer. He was surprised when, only three days later, he developed vague nausea and halitosis, (due to the achlorhydria, there was no acid to kill bacteria in the stomach, and their waste products manifested as bad breath), noticed only by his mother. On days 5–8, he developed achlorydric (no acid) vomiting. On day eight, he had a repeat endoscopy and biopsy, which showed massive inflammation (gastritis), and H. pylori was cultured. On the fourteenth day after ingestion, a third endoscopy was done, and Marshall began to take antibiotics. This story is related by Barry Marshall himself in his Nobel acceptance lecture Dec. 8, 2005, available for viewing on the Nobel website. Interestingly, Marshall did not develop antibodies to H. pylori, suggesting that innate immunity can sometimes eradicate acute H. pylori infection. Marshall's illness and recovery, based on a culture of organisms extracted from a patient, fulfilled Koch's postulates for H. pylori and gastritis, but not for peptic ulcer. This experiment was published in 1985 in the Medical Journal of Australia, and is among the most cited articles from the journal.

Also, Doctor Fiona Wood, who saved my son's life and, to boot, saved him from looking like a Frankenstein's monster. The woman is a paragon among doctors - I could never be thankful enough.

Wood has become well known for her patented invention of spray-on skin for burn victims, a treatment which is being continually developed. Where previous techniques of skin culturing required 21 days to produce enough cells to cover major burns, Wood has reduced the period to five days. Through research, she found that scarring is greatly reduced if replacement skin could be provided within 10 days. As a burns specialist the Holy Grail for Wood is "scarless woundless healing".

Wood started a company called Clinical Cell Culture (C3) to commercialise the procedure. Her business came about after a schoolteacher arrived at Royal Perth Hospital in 1992 with petrol burns to 90% of his body. Wood turned to the emerging US-invented technology of cultured skin to save his life, working nights in a laboratory along with scientist Marie Stoner. The two women began to explore tissue engineering. They moved from growing skin sheets to spraying skin cells; earning a worldwide reputation as pioneers in their field. The company started operating in 1993 and now cultures small biopsies into bigger volumes of skin cell suspensions in as few as five days. This service is used by surgeons in Sydney, Auckland and Birmingham. Cells can be delivered via aircraft and ready for use the next day in many cases.

I know my choices may seem anomalous among all the sportsmen and politicians, but brilliant doctors and scientists are too often ignored when these sorts of lists are compiled.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bb/Burt_Munro.jpg


Herbert James "Burt" Munro (Bert in his youth) (25 March 1899 – 6 January 1978) was a New Zealand motorcycle racer, famous for setting an under-1,000 cc world record, at Bonneville, 26 August 1967.[2] This record still stands today. Munro was 68 and was riding a 47-year-old machine when he set his last record.[3]

Working from his home in Invercargill , he worked for 20 years to highly modify the 1920 Indian motorcycle that he had bought that same year. Munro set his first New Zealand speed record in 1938 and later set seven more. He travelled to compete at the Bonneville Salt Flats , attempting to set world speed records. During his ten visits to the salt flats, he set three speed records, one of which still stands today.

Rookie Golfer Gets Bitten By Black Widow On Fourth Hole, Digs Out Venom With Her Tee, Finishes Round

Daniela Holmqvist, a Swedish rookie on the Ladies European Tour and former Cal golfer, was on the fourth hole in a pre-qualifier for the Women's Australian Open in Yarralumla, Australia, yesterday when she felt a sharp pain in her ankle. She looked down, she told Golf Digest later—after not dying by virtue of being a badass—and "saw a large, furry, black creature with a red spot on its back just above her sock line."

Holmqvist, 24, reportedly "swatted" the spider away and then nearly fell over in pain, as she'd just been bitten by a black widow spider. "I had just turned and felt it was very painful, not like being stung by a wasp," she told Svensk Golf, "rather like being stabbed by a knife." So then she decided to stab herself in the leg with a tee:

As Holmqvist's leg started to swell and the pain became intense, she made the quick decision to take matters into her own hands (she'd just been informed that a Black Widow bite can kill a child in as little as 30 minutes). She pulled a tee out of her pocket ("it was the only thing I had handy," she told Svensk Golf) and used it to cut open the wound so she could squeeze out the venom and keep it from spreading inside her body.

"A clear fluid came out," she said. "It wasn't the prettiest thing I've ever done, but I had to get as much of it out of me as possible."

Holmqvist then finished the round with a 74 (not enough to qualify, unfortunately) while medics looked on. She said afterward that she does not recommend getting bitten by a black widow.

Vesna Vulovic: The Stewardess Who Survived a terrorist attack at 33,000 feet
On January 26, 1972, a Yugoslav Airlines DC-9 departed from Copenhagen for Belgrade (via Zagreb) with 28 passengers and crew. At an altitude of 33,000 feet, a bomb in the cargo section, planted by the Ustashe Croatian separatist group, exploded. The plane disintegrated and crashed on the mountains.

In what must be one of the greatest survival stories of all time, stewardess Vesna Vulovic survived the 33,000 foot descent sitting on the tail of the plane.


http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/articles/a259_vesna.jpg

22 year old Vulovic wasn't even supposed to be on that plane. As she later stated in an interview, it was another Vesna who was supposed to be on that flight, but she was happy with the mix-up as it allowed her to make her first trip to Denmark. She ended up with a fractured skull, two broken legs, and three broken vertebrae - one of which was crushed and left her paralyzed from the waist down.

Vulovic spent several months in and out of hospitals; operations allowed her to walk again. She became a celebrity when the Guinness Book of World Records invited her to a ceremony in London with Paul McCartney. She is listed for surviving the longest fall without a parachute. Vulovic is now a national hero in Serbia and spent the late 90s marching in Belgrade against Slobodan Milosovic.

Frane Selak: Escaped from a derailed train, a door-less plane, a bus crash, a car into flames, another 2 car accidents... then won Million Dollar lottery

http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/articles/a259_selak.jpg

Luck has always been on his side or vice versa for croatian music teacher Frane Selak (born in 1929), who is well known around the world for as many fatal accidents as spectacular escapes. The first of his numerous near-death experiences began on a cold January day in 1962, when Selak was on a train to Dubrovnik: it suddenly derailed into an icy river, killing 17 passengers. He managed to escape with a broken arm, minor scratches and bruises.

A year later, Selak was flying, from Zagreb to Rijeka, when a door abruptly blew away from the cockpit of the plane, as he was blown off the plane. The accident killed 19 people, however, Selak was lucky enough to land on a haystack, and wake up some days later in hospital, with minor injuries.

It was in 1966 that he met with the third misadventure while traveling on a bus that crashed and plunged into a river. There were four people dead. Astonishingly, Selak managed to escape unharmed again.

In 1970, Selak was driving along when, all of a sudden, his car caught fire. He was fortunate again to have left the car before the fuel tank exploded. Three years later, another of Selak’s car caught fire, blowing flames through the air vents. To a greater dismay, Selak's lost most of his hair.

In 1995, Selak was in Zagreb when he was hit by a bus, again leaving nothing but a few injuries. The following year, while driving through a mountain road, Selak drove off a guardrail to escape an oncoming truck and landed on a tree to watch his car explode 300 feet below.

In a surprising turn of events in 2003, Selak won the million-dollar Croatian lottery, turning the man into either the world’s unluckiest man, or the world’s luckiest one.

It was long an article of faith among doctors that ulcers were caused by stress, spicy foods, and too much acid. The practice of removing ulcers, a major operation and lucrative revenue stream for surgeons, was first challenged in 1976 with the appearance of Tagamet, a drug 12 years in development. The medication inhibits the production of acid in the stomach and, as such, proved a direct threat to many surgeons’ financial well-being. Tagamet became the first blockbuster drug, amassing sales in excess of $1 billion in a single year for manufacturer Smith, Kline & French. Five years later, in 1981, Glaxo followed with Zantac, a similar product destined to become the world’s best-selling drug.

These medications were classic examples of treating the symptoms, not the cause of a condition. These were also perfect products to sustain a continuing pharmaceutical business.

A great deal of money and prestige was riding on ulcers by 1982, when West Australians Barry Marshall and Robin Warren proved that the Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacterium caused most peptic ulcers, neatly reversing decades of medical doctrine. Even worse for the revenue streams of drug companies and medicos, the bacteria could be eliminated by the use of antibiotics.

They're Italians embroiled in a family feud. Asking for a hand-out would be acceptable according to private family law, but it would give her status and he would lose status. She's already paid for all that rehab, which did nothing, so .... Her stock inside their family is low enough as it is, but I guess his is as well (albeit for different reasons). Even though she's a multi-multi millionaire, her family is still only one generation removed from the village.

And Italians are stubborn as hell * - there were enough Italian miners, truck drivers etc. living in Kal when I was a young 'un for me to know that.

Still, it's nice to know some people still take responsibility for their own fuck-ups.
