Life in the Co-Op Episode Three: Performance of a Lifetime Part 2 - Digital Edition - PDF
From the author: In this issue, we continue where part 1 left off. It's a packed house, Beige has been packed, by Charles. It's now show time. Charles is ready, Joey is nervous, and Beige is... well... Beige.
From the fox: Holy wow have we been waiting for this episode. Yes the crew are at the club waiting to see their new friends dance, Joey is very shy but dances very well. This issue flows very well indeed. And Sean and I make a guest appearance towards the end too.
This is an issue for those who love girly boys (though you don't have to be into that to enjoy this story).

Professional Community for Car Dealers, Marketing, Advertising and Sales Leaders
Email Messages sent out on Friday 12/28 indicate that the assets of Auto Dealer Monthly, LLC have been sold to Bobit Business Media by Greg Goebel.
Auto Dealer Monthly, LLC has published both the Magazine (see cover image to right) and two online publications for more than 5 years:
I received the following message from Harlene Doane on Saturday where she clarifies the asset purchase nature of this deal:
would you please issue a correction to this post. Bobit is NOT changing their name. They purchased the media assets not the company and therefore Auto Dealer Monthly LLC which Greg still owns cannot retain the name.
Greg's company will be changing names to Used Car University, LLC
First, I want to sincerely congratulate Greg Goebel for the successful sale of his magazine and online publications. I have always been a fan of Greg's writing and publications and have been an Auto Dealer Monthly reader for more than six years.
Secondly, I would like to wish Greg, Harlene, Bobit Business Media and all involved much success with their future publications and business models. I am sure the publications and websites will continue with their long history of high quality information and industry specific news....
Shown below is an example of the email announcement sent on Friday:
From: Auto Dealer Monthly a href="mailto:email@example.com" target="_blank">email@example.com>
Date: Fri, Dec 28, 2012 at 3:05 PM
Subject: Please Update Your Address Book
To: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I am pleased to announce that Auto Dealer Monthly magazine, Auto Dealer Monthly website and Special Finance Insider Website have been purchased by Bobit Business Media. The decision to sell the media properties of Auto Dealer Monthly, LLC was made based on having the absolute best fit for continued publishing of the magazine and Bobit Business Media was the perfect choice."
"Bobit Business Media is an experienced publisher with many automotive publications and will continue to serve the dedicated readers of Auto Dealer Monthly magazine well. Anna Hildebrandt will continue to serve all of Auto Dealer Monthly's client as she has done so for so many years now."
"In keeping with the sale agreement here are some things you should know."
"Auto Dealer Monthly, LLC will be changing it's name to Used Car University, LLC. which is where I will be spending my time developing more training for the industry."
"My new email address effective immediately is email@example.com"
"Harlene Doane can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com, effective immediately."
"The new phone number for UsedCarU is 812.467.0594, and the fax is 888.386.2236"
"If you have any questions about any of this, please do not hesitate to call our office."
"Sincerely, Greg Goebel"

I received the following message from Harlene Doane where she clarifies the asset purchase nature of this deal:
would you please issue a correction to this post. Bobit is NOT changing their name. They purchased the media assets not the company and therefore Auto Dealer Monthly LLC which Greg still owns cannot retain the name.
Greg's company will be changing names to Used Car University, LLC
Congrats Greg...I wish you much success.
Thanks for the very kind words, and yes, as Harlene clarified, Bobit is not renaming the publication. We did not sell my company, but just sold the media properties so that we can focus our time on energies on my passion - training - hence the name change of my business entity to Used Car University, LLC. UCU will continue to work with Bobit to produce our annual convention, the Industry Summit, and I will continue to write for them.
I am sure with the many, many publications that BBM owns, their resources will allow Auto Dealer Monthly to be grown to new heights, and I will be excited to see where it takes our creation.
Thanks again, Ralph, and I hope you have a very Happy New Year!
Best regards,
I think we need to clarify your post which is NOT correct.
Bobit Business Media will continue publishing Auto Dealer Monthly magazine and they did purchase the media assets however they did NOT purchase the company nor is Bobit changing the name of anything.
However Auto Dealer Monthly, LLC which Greg still owns, will be changing their name to Used Car University and will continue to host their events and provide dealer education in the coming year.
Congrats Gregg and Harlene!!!
Yes, this publication and hopefully will continue great editorial content as personally been reading cover to cover for about a decade. Congrats Greg and staff for the recognition.

I am planning a few builds ahead right now and have a question about the Mason's M1 challenge. It says:"1) Build a castle with an outer wall, an inner wall, and a keep." Do you really want us to build a massive castle with an outer and inner wall? It seems like that would be a huge build (64x64 at least) and I doubt many people have the bricks required to do that. An outer wall and inner wall indicates a walled city as much as a "castle".
I have a feeling that you meant an outer wall, an inner courtyard, and a keep which is much more manageable for the average builder and seems to make more sense in terms of difficulty (the masons guild is already the most challenging of the paths). Having an inner wall which is usually twice as high as the outer wall as well as a full keep inside of that seems like more than normal in terms of the requirements.
If I am not correct and the challenge is what is written, could you provide a few LEGO examples of what you were thinking so that I can better understand the scale of the build, thanks!

With his twin girlfriends du jour and ironically hip mansion, the Hugh Hefner of today is perfectly suited for the E! network.
But a new documentary about to hit screens this spring will show many more complex sides to the man who made the pipe and smoking jacket cool again.
Phase 4 Films has acquired the US rights for "Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist and Rebel" and plans a spring theatrical release, according to Variety.com. Filmmaker Brigitte Berman focused on Hefner's work with racial equality, First Amendment rights and social justice. For the many only aware of Hef's work in the world of air-brushing naked women, this will be something to see.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
The Academy Award-winning documentary maker was given unprecedented access to the Playboy empire founder and the no-doubt deep historical vaults. But Berman's flick will have important context provided from celebrity and activist interviews. These range from cinema icons like George Lucas and James Caan, to cultural touchstones like Tony Bennett and Joan Baez; to civil rights leaders like Jim Brown and Jesse Jackson.

These instructions show you how to replace a lawn mower belt on a particular model. Keep in mind that the steps may vary slightly for your MTD lawn mower model. If you feel uncomfortable replacing your push mower belt or performing any other maintenance, take your machine to an authorized service center.
Before starting your project, refer to the "Replacement Parts" section of your MTD lawn mower manual to find the part number for your machine's belt. Make sure you have the correct replacement lawn mower belt.
Before you start the process of changing your push mower belt, place your machine on a flat, level surface.
Remove the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting while you replace the lawn mower belt.
Make sure your push lawn mower's fuel tank contains little to no fuel. If tank is full, use the Arnold Siphon Pump to pump the fuel into an appropriate container. Then, tighten the fuel cap.
Make sure the oil dipstick is tight.
Remove the two shoulder screws securing the front drive cover to the deck of your push lawn mower. Press in on the sides of the front drive cover to release the tabs that secure it to the height-adjuster brackets. Remove the front drive cover from the push lawn mower and set it aside.
Loosen the screw holding the belt tension spring to the transmission. As you twist it, the tension on the belt will be released. Push the transmission, pivoting it toward the engine, and slide the belt off the transmission pulley.
Tip the push lawn mower on its side with the air filter up.
When removing mower blades, protect your hands with a pair of heavy gloves or use a heavy rag to hold the blade.
Remove the blade bolt and bell support, which secure the blade and blade adapter to the engine crankshaft. Set them aside.
Remove the blade and blade adapter from the crankshaft. Set them aside.
Locate the baffle bracket that secures the engine baffle to the push lawn mower's deck housing. Press in on the tab on the engine baffle to release it from the baffle bracket. Remove the engine baffle and set it side.
Slide the belt off the engine pulley, and pull it through the opening in the deck housing.
Install the new push mower belt through the opening in the deck housing. Place the push mower belt in the engine pulley. While pulling the push mower belt from the transmission, slide it over the transmission pulley. Make sure the belt is fully seated in both mower pulleys.
Reattach the engine baffle in the reverse order.
Lubricate the engine crankshaft and the inner surface of the blade adapter with a very light coating of oil. Slide the blade adapter onto the crankshaft, aligning it with the key way. Push the blade adapter until it bottoms out on the crankshaft.
Place the blade on the blade adapter. The wing tips should be up and the side of the blade with the word "bottom" or the part number on it should be facing you.
Make sure the blade is aligned and seated on the blade adapter flanges.
Place the blade bell support on top of the blade and align the notches on the blade bell support with the small holes in the blade.
Turn the mower back over and make sure the belt is still seated in the transmission pulley. Tighten the screw you loosened earlier to secure the belt tension spring to the transmission.
Install the front drive cover and secure it with the two shoulder screws.
Reconnect the spark plug wire to the spark plug.
Wipe up any fuel or oil spilled while you were replacing the push mower belt.
Fill the fuel tank with fuel and start your push lawn mower. Note: Sometimes after having the push lawn mower tilted, the engine will smoke when you start it. This should stop after a short period of run time.

TheatreWorks' new season: "Boeing Boeing" and still more Nikola Tesla!
A century too late, Nikola Tesla is blowing up.
First, visiting performing artist Thaddeus Phillips presented the world premiere of his new one-man play based on the works of Tesla, inventor of the radio and first alternating current power system. Then, it was announced that the Denver Center Theatre Company will enter into a collaboration with Buntport, which hosted Phillips' play in October, to develop its own original multimedia production to explore Tesla's life and inventions.
Today, the Colorado Springs company TheatreWorks announced that not only will it bring Phillips back next season to present his Tesla play – since renamed from "Microworld(s), Part I" to "Capsule 33" – but it will also bow its own creation, "I Am Nikola Tesla," to launch its 2010-11 season on Sept. 16.
"I Am Nikola Tesla" will be written as an ensemble creation piece directed by longtime artistic director Murray Ross.
Colorado Springs has its own Tesla connection. In 1899, the legendary scientist came there to conduct an eventful series of experiments in wireless energy.

Phil Ochs had about 70 songs published in the 1960's and 1970's in Broadside, the National Topical Song Magazine, published in New York City by Sis Cunningham and Gordon Friesen. Vic Sadot met and interviewed Phil Ochs in May of 1973 as the Watergate scandal was beginning to take its toll on the Nixon administration. In 1982 Vic Sadot was asked by the aging and ailing Gordon Friesen to write an article in review of the more than 400 pages of FBI files that were released to him under the Freedom of Information Act. The article was published in Broadside magazine and in the Delaware Alternative Press in 1982.
I flew the final mission in the Japanese skies
Set off the mighty mushroom roar
When I saw those cities burnin'
I knew that I was learnin' that I ain't a'marchin' anymore!
I Ain't Marching Anymore - Phil Ochs 1940 - 1976
Phil Ochs' FBI File
By Vic Sadot
Over 400 pages of FBI memorandums on folk singer Phil Ochs were released to Gordon Friesen and Sis Cunningham, publishers of Broadside topical song magazine since 1962. They used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain the FBI files on one of their most prolific contributors.
These files show that the FBI began surveillance on the folk singer early in his career until his death in 1976. A New York Office memo labeled "unclassified" but "confidential" reports that "Mainstream (magazine), Aug. 1963, on page 34, contains a poem entitled 'Glory Bound' by Phil Ochs and an article, 'The Guthrie Legacy'." In the early '60's a folk song movement burst out of the Greenwich Village (New York City) coffee house scene to claim national attention. Woody Guthrie, the "Dustbowl Balladeer" and union movement singer, was the hero and inspiration to a whole new generation of singer-songwriters. Guthrie wrote such well-known songs as This Land Is Your Land and Goin' Down That Road Feelin' Bad. Phil Ochs wrote a tribute to Guthrie titled the same as Guthrie's autobiography, Bound for Glory.
Phil Ochs grew up in Columbus, Ohio. He became an activist at Ohio State University as his awareness expanded in the climate of questioning aroused by the Civil Rights movement and the Cuban revolution. He quit college when he came up against censorship of campus publications which he edited. Ochs moved to Greenwich Village where he performed his own songs and befriended such talents as Bob Dylan, Eric Anderson, Dave Van Ronk, and Tom Paxton. Most of his songs were topical and controversial enough to cause the FBI to enter into its files: "Records of the Insurance Office of the American Federation of Musicians, Local 802, 261 West 52nd St., NYC, were checked on 10/28/63 by (blacked out, of course) and they reflect that Phil Ochs joined Local 802 3/13/63 as a guitarist."
Ochs appeared at the Newport Folk Festival in 1963 when Sis Cunningham and Gordon Friesen of Broadside persuaded Pete Seeger to include Phil in one of his workshops. It was an important opportunity for the young folk singer. Ochs was soon recording, and songs like I Ain't Marching Anymore, Draft Dodger Rag, Outside of a Small Circle of Friends, Changes, and Love Me, I'm a Liberal found an audience of millions. Throughout the late '60's Phil Ochs sold out large concert halls across the country, including Carnegie, even though he was virtually excluded from TV and most commercial radio stations. Beyond any doubt, he also became the traveling troubadour of the anti-war movement as he appeared at major rallies from coast to coast.
Another FBI memo reports back to Headquarters: "On Oct. 15, 1965 Special Agents of the FBI observed Phillip Ochs in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as he sang topical folk songs at a street rally protesting the U.S. participation in the war in Vietnam." After a blacked out paragraph, the report continues: "During the rally, Ochs mentioned that he was appearing at that time at the Second Fret, a night spot and coffee house in Philadelphia." The report doesn't say whether the agents dropped by for the show.
As the Vietnam war dragged on year after year and thousands of American men were sent home in body bags, the domestic opposition grew to a majority of Americans. A large demonstration outside the Democratic Party Convention in Chicago in 1968 was attacked by police, and after CBS reporters were clubbed and had their cameras smashed, a shocked Walter Cronkite wondered aloud if it was not a "police riot". One Ochs FBI file reports that he participated in a comic incident by the Youth International Party (Yippies!) during the convention: "At 10:20 am it was observed that a live pig was brought to the Plaza by the YIP contingent, which they announced was the YIP 'candidate' for President of the United States. When efforts were made by the Chicago Police to bring the pig under control, 7 Yippies attempted to intervene and were arrested by the police. One of those arrested was Phillip Ochs, a white male, born December 19, 1940."
The government attempted to put the diverse leadership of the American anti-war movement on trial on charges of "conspiracy to cross state lines to incite a riot." They were popularly known as "The Chicago 8" until Black Panther Party leader Bobby Seale was removed from the case and they became "The Chicago 7". Seale was bound and gagged and tied to a chair by order of Judge Hoffman because he repeatedly demanded to be represented by an attorney of his own choice. Ochs testified at the trial which lasted several months. It was the government's way of tying up scarce funds and experienced leadership of the movement.
There is an FBI memo labeled "SECRET" dated 10/1/68 which directs FBI agents: "During your investigation remain particularly alert to subject's writings and public statements which would indicate his attitude toward violence to attain anti-United States objectives." Ochs had moved to California, and the Los Angeles FBI office responded on 12/20/68: "A suitable photo of the subject is being recommended for inclusion in the Security Index." Earlier FBI memos had recommended that Ochs be placed on the "Reserve Index". Subsequently, Ochs was put on the Security Index when a form letter signed by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover was sent to FBI offices around the country. Box #3 was checked: "Because of background is potentially dangerous; or has been identified as a member or participant in communist movement; or has been under active investigation as a member of other group or organization inimical to U.S. Photograph enclosed."

The Little Rock, Arkansas FBI office responded on Oct. 22, 1969 with a memo titled "Threat Against the President". The report claims that a mother turned in an Ochs record which was purchased by her "14 year old son, Stanley Thomas, at Osco Drugs, S.W. Shopping Center, L.R." It reads: "This record was monitored on Oct. 20, 1969 and on side one the first song, entitled Pretty Smart on My Part states in song what appears to be: 'I can see them coming. They're training in the mountains. They talk Chinese and they spread disease. They wanna get me. They wanna hurt me. They wanna bring me down. But some time later, when I feel a little better, we'll assassinate the President and overthrow the government, and then, we're gonna fry them." Apparently, the FBI agents were not sharp enough to realize that Ochs was making fun of right wing anti-communist paranoid nuts. Each verse in that song mocks paranoia (unjustified fear) from several different angles.
Other file reports show that Phil Ochs' travels were closely monitored: "On Oct. 25, 1970, a Special Agent of the FBI observed Phil Ochs and Jerry Rubin depart Kennedy Airport, N.Y.C., for Paris via Air France flight 076, at 10:32 pm." After several blacked out paragraphs, we see a rather curious, perhaps informative, statement: "This document contains neither recommendations nor conclusions of the FBI. It is the property of the FBI, and is loaned to your agency; it and its contents are not to be distributed outside your agency."
On this European trip was immediately deported from England with British officials calling him a "communist" and a "traitor", according to his friend Gordon Friesen. The same thing happened in Ireland. So Ochs came home, and years later we find this in his FBI file: "OCHS was personally observed arriving in New York City from Dublin, Ireland on 11/16/70 by (blacked out)." Does this mean that the Central Intelligence Agency caused Phil Ochs' travel rights to be violated?
In 1971, he, Jerry Rubin, and Stewart Albert visited Chile where a socialist government had been elected and many properties owned by American corporations had been nationalized. Ochs met and toured with the popular Chilean folk singer Victor Jara. They sang to the copper miners, students and farmers, and they appeared on a television show together. Ochs ran into David Ifshkin, a former President of the U.S. National Student Association, and remained in Chile with him while Rubin and Albert went to Peru. From Chile Ochs and Ifshkin went to Uruguay where they were promptly arrested and deported to Bolivia. There is an FBI memo dated 10/27/71 that starts in capital letters: "DAVID MICHAEL IFSHIN, SM – SUBVERSIVE." All five paragraphs are blacked out. At the bottom of the report it states: "Foreign Liaison Desk, La Paz" and in hand writing it says: "referred to State Department". Victor Jara was later killed in the Santiago stadium in front of thousands of his compatriots as he led them in song during the CIA-backed coup by the Chilean military in 1973. The crowd in the stands was sprayed with machine gun fire to silence their rebel songs. Ochs took this political event very personally and he was deeply shaken and depressed by it. He was struck by the contrast between the utter horror of the coup and the oblivious routine of everyday life in America. (Note: This sentiment is exhibited in the Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and Me song.)
Ochs took a trip to several African countries in 1973. (Note: There are rare recordings of Phil Ochs singing with African groups during this voyage.) One evening, while strolling alone on the beach in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, three muggers beat him savagely and left him unconscious. Was there any political motive behind this? The attackers ruptured his vocal cords and caused some permanent damage to his singing ability.
In 1974, Ochs and several others organized a benefit concert for the Chilean refugees in Madison Square Garden in which Bob Dylan, Arlo Guthrie, Harry Chapin, Melanie, and Pete Seeger performed.
His last major project was to produce an album and negotiate a record contract with Warner Brothers for singer-songwriter Sammy Walker in 1975. For the most part, the years 1975 and 1976 were years of disintegration for the once productive singer. Ochs became an alcoholic and was diagnosed a manic-depressive when h e sought treatment. He began calling himself John Butler Train and was involved in numerous hostile confrontations with friends and total strangers. When the manic stage finally subsided, he entered the quiet depressive stage in which he concluded that he had gone too far down the road to run as John Train. This culminated in his death by suicide. He hung himself at his sister Sonny's home in Far Rockaway, N.Y.
Since Phil Ochs' death, A&M Records has released an excellent two record collection album of his songs. Unfortunately, a sensationalistic book titled Death of a Rebel opens with and dwells upon the tragic last days and departure of Phil Ochs. It portrays him as a paranoid egomaniac without appreciation for his political and humanitarian commitment. This portrayal is also done without any attempt to acquire and investigate his FBI files. Gordon Friesen wrote a severely critical review of the book for its exploitation of Phil Ochs' suffering and its fabrication of supposed telephone conversations between Sis Cunningham and Phil Ochs. The author, Marc Eliot, never interviewed Gordon Friesen or Sis Cunningham, and would have no way of knowing their phone conversations without tapping their phones. In the book review, Gordon Friesen writes: "We never accepted as paranoia Phil's insistence that the FBI and CIA kept surveillance on him for a number of years. After all, Phil's key participation in the anti-Vietnam War movement had had tremendous impact, influencing tens of thousands to turn against the war-mongers in Washington. It seemed perfectly logical to us that the hawks would utilize the governmental agencies under their control to counteract the influence of the Phil Oches."
Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, this has now been confirmed. However, a stack of FBI files as thick as a big city phone book with more than half of the entries blacked out means that we are only glimpsing the tip of the iceberg. What don't they want the public to know?
So I turn to the land where I'm so out of place
Throw a curse on the plan in exchange for the grace
To know where I stand…
Take everything I own
Take your tap from my phone
And leave my life alone!
