This year we are celebrating our past, present, and future in embracing the traditions of Oktoberfest with our families, friends and home town community. Oktoberfest is the premier fall festival in the Coulee Region and we are proud of both our heritage and our celebration. We have so many events to offer for everyone of all ages: our family fun areas and new North Side Carnival, a variety of music throughout the week, educational as well as community visits, a large selection of food choices and of course both the Maple Leaf and Torchlight parades. The Torchlight Parade may signal the end of the festival for the last time this year-but for our royal family, volunteers and organization the year is just beginning. Our Oktoberfest family travels throughout their reign, promoting our wonderful City of La Crosse and our festival encouraging the spirit of Gemütlichkeit (GA-MEET-LEE-KITE) to continue YEAR ROUND in the Coulee Region. It takes many people to make Oktoberfest a success and with our entire FEST family, thousands of volunteers, local businesses and community sponsors we take that success and are able to give back. In fact, Oktoberfest is proud to donate to hundreds of local organizations, clubs and volunteer groups, educational scholarships, CMN and many more non-profit groups in our city gifting over $75,000 to those in need. Oktoberfest is a family, a part of this community - and as with all families we too grow and change - however we also know and cherish our roots and our traditions and are proud to celebrate this year and many more with you.

In the ten years post the September 11 acts of terror against the United States (U.S.) and the more recent economic downturn in the U.S., the issue of immigration reform has been basically an anathema to the public and our legislators. Any interest in reforming antiquated immigration laws has been replaced with numerous border and national security initiatives to the almost total exclusion of reforming our dysfunctional immigration laws to improve the U.S. economy. Thus, to conclude that the U.S. has any sort of true overall strategic plan using immigration policy to its full potential to improve our stagnant economy would be erroneous.
On the one hand, the U.S. wishes to improve its attractiveness to foreign investors as recently evidenced by the announcement of U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director, Alejandro Mayorkas....

The Veneto region
Veneto is the 8th largest region in Italy, with a total area of 18,398.9 km2 (7,103.9 sq mi). It is located in the north-eastern part of Italy and is bordered to the east by Friuli Venezia Giulia, to the south by Emilia-Romagna, to the west by Lombardy and to the north by Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol. At its northernmost corner it borders also on Austria.
By area 29% of its surface is mountainous (Carnic Alps, eastern Dolomites and Venetian Pre-alps). The best known massif in the Dolomites is the Marmolada, while the highest, at 3,342 m (10,965 ft), is the Tofane-massif. Other dolomitic peaks are the Tre Cime di Lavaredo and the Pale di San Martino. The Venetian Pre-alps are not as high and range between 700 m (2,300 ft) and 2,200 m (7,200 ft). A distinctive characteristic of the Pre-alps are the cave formations, including chasms and sink holes; the Spluga della Preta, situated in the Monte Lessini chain in the province of Verona, has an explored depth of 985 m (3,232 ft), being the deepest cave in Italy. Fossil deposits are also abundant there.
The Po Valley covers 57% of Veneto. This valley consists of a plain extending from the mountains to the Adriatic sea, broken only by some low hills: Colli Berici, Colli Euganei, Colli Asolani and Montello, which constitute the remaining 14% of the territory.
The plain itself is subdivided into the higher plain (gravel-strewn and not very fertile) and the lower plain (rich in water sources and arable terrain). The lower plain is both a mainstay of agricultural production and the most populated part of the region.
Several rivers flow through the region: the Po, Adige, Brenta, Bacchiglione, Livenza, Piave, and Tagliamento. The eastern shore of the largest lake in Italy, Lake Garda, belongs to Veneto. The coastline covers approximately 200 km (120 mi), of which 100 km (62 mi) are beaches.
The coasts of the Adriatic Sea are characterized by the Venetian Lagoon, a flat terrain with ponds, marshes and islands. The Po Delta to the south features sandbars and dunes along the coastline. The inland portion contains cultivable land recently reclaimed by a system of canals and dykes. Fish ponds have been created there as well. The delta and the lagoon are a stopping-point for migratory birds.
Venice is a city in northeast Italy which is renowned for the beauty of its setting, its architecture and its artworks.
The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy. The saltwater lagoon stretches along the shoreline between the mouths of the Po (south) and the Piave (north) Rivers.
The best way to visit Venice is to get lost and enjoy the beuty of the city and to breath the atmosphere

I agree with your wife, with one caveat
Posted by: sjt78 on Jan-26-14 12:50 PM (EST)
You don't need to buy "new" skates. Hit up any number of used sports equipment places and get yourself a new to you pair of hockey skates. Your feet and ankles will appreciate it and maybe you will skate more often than a couple of times every few years. I bet for $40-50 you can get a decent pair.

I'm heading out to the cemetary with my granny today in order to place a flag on my grandfather's grave site. I really miss him, but I know he's in Heaven singing praises to the Lord. Such a great resting place even in this world when we know God.
As for the topic at hand. We're going to discuss brand awareness and I'm going to introduce you to my first successful squidoo lens. I figured for my first one, it would be a good idea to create some awareness around my own personal brand as a public figure and create, "The Official Curt Bizelli Squidoo Lens" …
I really thought hard and worked smart on this one.
Its good to include images and a bio as well as links or feeds to your site.
A couple more simple tips on how to create brand awareness with an official squidoo lens:
- Be Creative, Be Unique
- Use Media, Words and Phrases that depict your brand
- Include a Bio and Images
- Include a Feed to your Blog
- Testimonials if you have some
- Be valuable, don't be pitchy
- Backlink a lot especially to your own blogs and sites
This was very simple. Check it out here:
Will you check out my new lens and leave a comment in the guestbook?

Cody Marshall Edwards, 25, of Dallas, Ore., is accused of injuring Deputy Jim Buchholz in a shootout east of Salem on Dec. 6. Buchholz was taken by Life Flight to the hospital and was released on Dec. 9.
Edwards was indicted on charges of attempted aggravated murder, assault, felon in possession of a firearm, possession of a short-barreled shotgun, unlawsful use of a motor vehicle, attempt to elude, and possession of methamphetamine.
Edwards' companion, Robecca Lee Ensminger, 22, was also indicted for meth possession, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, hindering prosecution and initiating a false report.
Sheriff's deputies and Salem police chasing a stolen car confronted Edwards in field off of Sunnyview Road Northeast, according to Lt. Dave Okada of the Salem Police Department.
Okada said that officer Jason Bricker fired at Edwards during the incident.
Edwards was injured and taken to the hospital but has been released and is now custody at Marion County jail, said Okada.
Investigators found Buchholz and Silverton Police Officer Jason Bicker were justified in the use of deadly force against Edwards.

McCain says relations with Egypt changing
McCain chairs the International Republican Institute, one of the four American groups targeted. But he didn't mention the case in his remarks. He instead stressed the importance of the relationship between the two countries, focusing on commercial and trade relations.
He said the American people are committed to the success of Egypt's transition, which he called "a brand experiment in democratic rule and economic empowerment."
He said one of the main challenges to Egypt's transition to democracy remains the deteriorating economic situation in the country of 85 million.
"Unless Egypt can create jobs for the millions of young people in this country who desire a future of dignity for themselves, the politics of Egypt will be unsettled and the forces of extremism here could grow more and more powerful," he said.
U.S. Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson said American investors met with newly elected Egyptian lawmakers, who were also businessmen. She said despite the stress in U.S. -Egypt relations, the U.S. businessmen want to be "deeply involved" in the new Egypt.

In the readings from my MW the part on this is saying to start at 6wks before EDD. How many of you did this? Do you think it really helped you to not tear or did you tear anyways? I tore some with my 2nd and while it wasn't that bad I'd still love to avoid that this time around. I'm not sure how much massaging will help tho or if just having a HB with a MW who lets things happen naturally (and doesn't go using a vaccum) would be enough. =)

NEW ORLEANS - While police continue to search for the gunmen who killed an 11-year-old girl and shot two others in Pigeon Town, the father of one of the victims is speaking out.
'Imagine trying to hear news that your 11-year-old has been shot. 'What do you mean she's been shot?' You know what I mean. You're an 11-year-old,' said Paul Davis.
Davis and his family are still in shock over the bullets that tore through their home around 12:15 a.m. Monday. Davis' daughter, Paulreiona Cary, 11, is out of the hospital after she was struck in the hand and elbow. Her cousin and best friend, Arabian Gayles, 11, died of a gunshot wound to the head.
'I'm so angry I can't even imagine,' said Davis. 'I can't even describe it. I don't even know what I'm supposed to be feeling right now, you know. Easily that could have been my daughter that I'm burying, you know, and it's crazy man.'
The two 11-year-olds were among several children and adults sleeping inside the house when a gunfight erupted outside, said police. A 38-year-old family friend was also shot in the back.
Davis said the man was walking outside at the time, but doesn't believe he was the intended target.
Monday evening, stuffed animals and flowers had been placed in front of the home as the community shows it support. Davis said the neighborhood has been riddled with crime for awhile, and he hopes the outcry stemming from this triple shooting doesn't die down.
'It's an ongoing process,' said Davis. 'We wait for something like this to happen and then we want to march the streets, and then that's it.'
Arabiana is the second child lost to gun violence in less than a week in New Orleans. Activists say the community has to show it won't stand for this kind of violence.
'We have to call in and report these animals that's killing our children. They're animals. And again, I don't care about being politically correct. They're killing our innocent children,' said Glenn Green, president of the Louisiana Municipal Black Caucus Association.
'We've got to come together as a community. We've got to say this is madness,' said Dr. Peter Scharf, Tulane criminologist.
New Orleans police believe multiple gunmen were involved because their investigators found several different types of bullet casings.
If you have any information on this triple shooting, call Crimestoppers at (504) 822-1111. You don't have to leave your name and you could get a $5,000 cash reward.

I'm new to this so please bear with me if I use improper vernacular! I've recently purchased a 77 MGB and I'm trying to determine what can be done to improve the handling, sway, etc. The car has no shocks but I see that install kits are available.
Would like to know what has worked for other, what has not. Is adding shock absorbers worth the effort or should I focus on upgrading the front and/or rear springs?

By Brendan Galbraith Ringside Report. Last night, Paul Dudey McCloskey showcased his slick boxing skills to dominate the gallant challenge of unfancied Motherwell man, Barry Morrison, forcing the stoppage in the seventh round.
The Aura Letterkenny Leisure Centre was packed to its 2000 capacity by the time McCloskey and Morrison entered the ring. Letterkenny in County Donegal is just over the Irish border and about an hour drive from McCloskeys hometown of Dungiven in County Derry. So, The Aura was very accessible for McCloskeys Derry-based fans and it proved to be an excellent compact venue providing good vantage points through the hall and facilitating a rousing atmosphere from the passionate crowd. Although, vastly outnumbered, the small army of Morrison fans made their presence felt. The Morrison fans looked like they had spent the day in the pub, but were, nonetheless, good natured in their cheering, singing and provided sterling support for their fighter..
The fight that unfolded was a return to McCloskeys silky boxing skills, picking his shots from the fringes of the pocket and cleverly measuring the range to both land his shots and make his opponent miss by inches. Unlike, the previous performance against Giuseppe Lauri were McCloskey employed his technical skills for the first two rounds before going toe-to-toe and getting drawn into a brawl, the Dungiven man was disciplined with Morrison and stuck to his boxing throughout. Morrison, who was not given much of a chance in this fight by most pundits, provided tough opposition in the earlier rounds, and managed to penetrate McCloskeys defence with good head combinations and several scoring solid body shots. However, McCloskey comfortably absorbed this and from the second round onwards he began to get the measure of Morrison, working behind his range finding jab and finishing with an assortment of heavier shots, most notably, a series of beautiful straight lefts.
In the fourth, McCloskeys complete control of the fight was assumed by a vintage display of what he does best, exploiting the space in the ring to circle his opponent and unleash his full arsenal; landing shots, effortlessly slipping counters, circle again anti-clockwise from the orthodox fighter, and land again. This pattern continued and when McCloskey clicks into this mode he is an exemplar to any young pro looking to learn how to hit and move.
In the fifth, McCloskeys dominance began to take its toll and he landed a solid right hook to the top of Morrisons head, forcing the Motherwell man onto one knee. Morrison fought well to survive the round and commenced the sixth with full gusto, getting through with good head and body shots. But, McCloskey retaliated with double measure and ended the round strongly. The seventh round and fight was ended when McCloskey dropped Morrison with a left and referee, Mark Green, had seen enough and stopped the fight to the delight of McCloskey and his legion of fans.
On the whole, a polished performance by McCloskey and a reminder of his classy technical skills and underrated power. McCloskey retains his European Title but is aiming for a world title shot. Afterwards, McCloskey repeated his intent on facing Khan in an Anglo-Irish World Title clash or against US belt holders Devon Alexander and Timothy Bradley. Unless Khan agrees to an Anglo-Irish fight with McCloskey this side of the Atlantic, it is difficult to see McCloskey getting a shot at Khan, Alexander or Bradley on US soil and US TV. Ideally, McCloskey would benefit from a good win from an established US contender, for example Lamont Peterson or Nate Campbell. If McCloskey can win and look good in the process, with either of those opponents it would certainly raise his profile to the lucrative US paymasters.
* A round up of the under card of the McCloskey-Morrison, Brian Peters Promotion will follow later.

In traditional sinus surgery, an opening is made into the sinus. The opening may be made from inside the mouth or through the skin of the face.
- There are a number of possible approaches depending on the location of the infected sinus and what the doctor prefers.
- Working through the incision, the doctor can remove tissue that is blocking the sinus and preventing drainage.
- More extensive procedures may involve leaving a temporary opening to help drain the infection.
Most of these procedures require admission to a hospital.

PUBLISHER'S NOTEBOOK: Rogers in key spot in this era of spy vs. spy
Last month, U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers announced he would not run for the U.S. Senate seat that Democrat Carl Levin vacates in January. That could be a good thing for Michigan. Maybe for the country. Rogers chairs the House Intelligence Committee and is at the epicenter of where international hacking, national security, key business functions and cherished American ideals of individual freedom and privacy all intersect.

Swing speed range, pace and lead tape placement
When my frame is in stock form, then when I hit with people who generate high pace shots (such as 4.0s and above), I need to swing at around 70 to 80% of my max swing speed just to keep up with their pace. When I rally with my 5.5 coach, I'm swinging at 90% of my max speed to keep up with his pace.
This means that if I were to play them in a match, I'd sort of have "no where to go", pace-wise, because the pace that I generate while swinging at 80% isn't very different from 90%. Therefore, my shots aren't really a "threat" to the opponent. Plus, I'll be tiring myself out. Any "winners" that I attempt to hit won't be much faster than a normal rally.
Plus if I get tired and swing at 50% for some reason, I'm taking a lot of pace off the ball which puts me in trouble: my opponent can capitalize on that and put it away easily.
So, I did an experiment and applied a different configuration of lead. I put four 8-inch strips beginning around the 7th or 8th cross string, going down the hoop to about T6 or so -- for a total of 8 grams.
I did this for three reasons:
1. I wanted to keep lead away from 12:00 noon on my hoop. I felt like if there's just too much mass up there, then I can't whip the racquet around fast enough to generate enough top spin to keep the ball in play. Too much lead at noon slows my racquet head speed down during the WW finish. If I added lead closer to the bottom of the hoop, then perhaps it would be easier to swing.
2. I wanted more stability with shots. Wanted to reduce racquet flutter and increase plow-through in a balanced way.
3. I wanted to experiment with adding a lot of mass (8 grams) to see how that affects my shots. Up until now, I've only ever added around 1 to 2 grams.
What happened was strange: I found that when rallying with people, I only had to swing at about 50% of my max speed to keep the same pace that was given to me. This got me thinking: if I can keep up with a 4.0's pace while only using 50% of my max swing speed, then that gives me more "gears" to use during a match -- so to speak.
In other words, if I needed to really clobber the ball to hit a winner, then if I swing at 80%, I'm going to knock the cover off the ball -- something I've never really been able to do.
Of course, I may need to re-calibrate my top spin in order to deal with the added pace. But the point is, I have more free power on tap.
Is what I'm noticing normal? Or am I imagining it? Am I on to something or am I just over-analyzing the situation?

More weight means (all other things equal) you'll hit longer. So to hit the same shot placement now with more weight you have to swing slower. It's amazing how much more stable hits are with added weight at 3/9.

Inside the Simonton Windows factory here, some workers who are back on the job after being laid off for months believe they are proof that the darkest days of the recession are over.
"They're saying things are getting better, and people don't seem as worried," says Cammie Hixson, 49, who was laid off for almost four months. "I think the economy has turned around."

The Intel Galileo board is a microcontroller board based on the Intel Quark SoC X1000 application processor, a 32-bit Intel Pentium brand system on a chip (SoC). It is the first board based on Intel architecture designed to be hardware and software pin-compatible with shields designed for the Arduino Uno* R3.
To further spur innovation across the entire computing spectrum, Intel is providing 50,000 Intel Architecture (IA) Arduino boards featuring the new Intel Quark technology to universities worldwide. The new microcontroller boards, in the Arduino form factor favored by the maker community, will enable university students to innovate at the lower end of the spectrum with inventions that will be compatible with other IA devices in the Internet of Things.
Through the Research & Department arm of the iHub, 20 Intel Galileo boards were donated to Kenyan universities last quarter, with bootcamps being run at Kenyatta University, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, and the University of Nairobi. According to Wachira Ndaiga of iHub Research, the bootcamps involved the following: "We had a whole day session where we covered all the basics of the Galileo board: what the board is about, how you can use the board, its similarities and differences to other development boards - the idea being to leverage its power. We also covered the basics of electronics. The afternoon was dedicated to just building. So we gave them a smart home system, a bunch of motion detection sensors, temperature and humidity sensors, light detection sensors, and some buzzers and LEDs. We put them in six groups, gave them all the kits - and they starting hacking."
Following the bootcamps, the university groups were given 3-4 weeks to develop an innovative project/product around the Intel Galileo Board. 75 participants from the different universities competed against each other, with the Autobots from JKUAT walking away with the top prize of Asus Fonepads and internships at the iHub R&D department.
Since then, the team - which consists of Michael Mumo Mutiso, James Kimani Kinyanjui, Emmanuel Gatimu Kinyanjui, Ian Beche - has been working on some very exciting projects. One of these is the Intel Autobots Project: RFID/NFC technology in Security and Control Systems, which they had an opportunity to showcase at the Intel stand at Pivot East. A brief description of the project:
Inspired to help our nation curb the increasing trend in insecurity and terrorism, we ventured into the world of Radio Frequency Identification systems (R.F.I.D) as well as the emerging technology of Near Field Communication (N.F.C.) systems.We're incredibly excited about what the team has been able to do over such a short period of time, and we're really looking forward to collaborating further with electronics and hardware enthusiasts through upcoming Internet of Things challenges with Intel.
Using simple and accessible components such as RFID/NFC cards, a RFID/NFC reader, a servo motor, a piezo buzzer and most importantly, the brain of our system, the intel Galileo development board, we developed a system to show how applicable RFID/NFC technology can be used to monitor movement within our buildings, restrict access to authorized people as well as bar intruders from accessing our premises at all costs.
This system also has the ability to monitor the flow of people within a place so that at any given moment in time, the authorities can provide resources within these environs to cater for the needs of the current population hence ensuring better service provision. E.g. if a particular environ has a higher population of people accessing the venue, the authorities should be able to increase the number of security agents to provide sufficient security. Thus, this ensures the optimum utilization of a limited resource's capability to satisfy a human want or need.
In addition to this, we also worked on several other use cases to show how RFID/NFC technology can be used to enhance user experience such as being used as intelligent identification card systems that can replace all the cards in one's wallet. This one card will then serve as ones identification card, voter's card, medical cover card, driving license, banking card i.e. an all in one card.
Our vision and dream is to see the implementation of these systems in our daily living to boost our ability as human beings to safeguard our environs as well as enhance user experience.
