What is La Crosse Mardi Gras?
La Crosse Mardi Gras is a family-oriented celebration uniting the families of La Crosse and surrounding communities in fun, food, and fellowship for a good cause. Since 1991, Mardi Gras has helped provide tuition assistance for the families of Aquinas Catholic Schools (ACS).
Mardi Gras Ball
As with the Mardi Gras festivals in Louisiana, La Crosse Mardi Gras is centered around a Rex and Queen and their faithful "Krewes of Carnivale," each represented by a Lord and Lady. There is one krewe for each of the local Catholic parishes involved in ACS: Blessed Sacrament, Cathedral, Holy Trinity, Mary, Mother of the Church, Roncalli Newman Center and St. Patrick's. These krewes, along with the reigning Rex and Queen, make Mardi Gras a very special event. Each year, the krewes creatively reinvent themselves with innovative themes. See the Event Schedule for details, or Order Tickets now.
What do we do the rest of the year?
We support local festivals, lending our flair and flamboyance to events like Applefest, Oktoberfest, and Jazzfest to name a few. Mardi Gras, like other local fests, strives to bring the community together for fun and fellowship.

EX-79 Elliptical
- Sale
- $999.99
- Reg. Price
- $1,199.99
- You Save
- $200.00 (17%)
Why We Made This
The EX79 has all the features you want to get a killer workout. You know, the power incline, the 20 resistance levels, the speaker system, etc. The real beauty? You can still just get on and go.Full Product Specifications
- SixStar Certified™ platform gives the most natural feel you'll find on an elliptical
- Heavy 17.6-lb flywheel provides additional stability and an even smoother ride
- We can't stop with the comfort: Ergonomically shaped footpads add even more
- 20 resistance levels, 12 programs with goal tracking plus 20-level power incline give you plenty of options for keeping your workout fresh
- Longer 2-year parts warranty eliminates worry
Designed for Every Body
We did a lot of research and testing to come up with a way to ensure that you'll get the most comfortable elliptical experience possible. In essence, that's what our SixStar Certification™ means for you: The Horizon EX79 platform maintains ideal body positioning throughout your workout. So every time you step on, you can focus your energy on exercising and not on watching your form. The EX79 does that part for you
A Step Above
Our unique gel-cushioned arched pedals promote natural foot rotation for greater comfort throughout your workout.
Rise Up
The 20-level power incline takes your elliptical workout to new heights. Pair that with the 20 electronic resistance levels, and you get seemingly unlimited options to vary the intensity of your workout and to target specific muscle groups.
Great machine, minor issues.
This is a great machine. We had a really hard time finding an elliptical that could fit in our basement given the low ceiling. This one worked out great. I love the display, especially love that you can save different users so my husband and I don't have to reprogram each time. The built in fan is another great feature, it has a nice low setting so it's not blasting in your face. The audio jack is great as I can watch videos/listen to music on my iphone while i work out. One of my favorite things about the unit is the assembly instructions. Rather than give you a giant piece of paper with a big bag or parts, Horizon actually prints the instructions step by step in a large card stock 'book' i guess you would call it. Within each step, they have the tools needed for that step actually attached to the card stock and each step is separated by a line. So it's basically fool proof. I wish everything was designed with the end user in mind like that.
My only complaints so far:
* It squeaks. It's minor and I generally don't hear it with the fan and my music on.
* The space between the two arms is pretty narrow. I find that if I don't keep good form the arms can sometimes hit my boobs. Also have you ever gotten tired while riding an elliptical and put your hands over the center console to rest while you're using it? Not really doable on this machine as the arms will run into you. Again, it's probably not really a con because it forces you to maintain good form, but just wanted to point it out.

Very impressed
Was new to the elliptical market and did quite a bit of research while wading through the countless reviews of both inexpensive and very expensive units. It appeared as if the $1,000.00 price point was where one needed to serious look at for a semi-pro unit, with the needed features, and designed to hold up after rigorous use. Picked up the EX79-02 and have been very satisfied. Have had no issues even after weeks of use, no noises, clicking or rattling, and we are now working on customizing workouts now to move beyond the stock (plentiful) programs. Highly recommended, watch out for step 2 in the install guide for a small bolt part number typo, and set it up where you want it, because it is heavy.

Excellent so far...
Bought EX-79 about 3 months ago. Horizon replaced the broken part during delivery promptly with no issues or delays. We use the elliptical at least thrice a week for 45 minute each. The elliptical is very quiet (on a carpeted floor) and performs very well. No issues so far.. Display and the buttons are very easy to learn and use once you get a hang of it. Being able to connect my iphone for music is really nice with good speaker volume. The only reason I gave 4 star is that I don't think the elliptical is calculating the calories burnt correctly. Irrespective of the incline percentage or the level, the calorie burnt seem to be exactly the same at the end of the lap. It's not a big deal for me. But it may be for some. But overall, an excellent product and would definitely recommend it.

tried models that were 2,500 and gave them a thumbs down. For the money this elliptical is more bang for the buck than the more expensive models.

Jealousy0 Reviews
Jealousy comes into the story.
That's all I felt for the next couple of weeks. Sometimes I wouldn't be able to handle it and I would have to make an excuse to leave. As much as I try to not show my emotions Frank could still see right through it. When I feel real bad I just go over to his house and cry. I cry like there's no tomorrow. It helps me relieve me anger.
I was laying on my bed listening to some quite music when I got a text from Georgio asking if I wanted to hang out. Of course there was no way that I could say "No" to him.
Although I like Gerard i still really do have feelings for Georgio. I guess it's better than to not have anyone like Mikey and Olivia.
I walked out of my house and started to walk towards the cafe where Georgio and I had decided to meet up. When I got to the cafe I saw Georgio sitting in the back corner. He was still good looking. his caramel toned hair, his deep brown eyes, his smile, his tanned skin tone, everything was just great about him. He was perfect. Except he wasn't Gerard.
I smiled as I sat down across from him so that we would be able to face each other while we talked.
" Hey." I greeted him.
" Hey."
" So you wanted to talk about something I suspect." I tried to get the conversation going.
" Yeah... well..you see-" I cut him off.
" Wait your not going to dump me right?!" I panicked. He chuckled at my alarm tone of voice.
" No. I wanted to talk about how you have been. I mean lately you kind of seem out of it. We'll be sitting around hanging out with your friends and then all of a sudden you just decide to leave, just like that. I mean I have no idea what is going on, but I just want you to talk to me." He said explaining why we were here. He noticed. He noticed that I was acting strange. Quick Bella make something up.
" Well.... I guess that I have just been a bit moody. Ya 'know?" He nodded and I continued. " I think that I am weird just in general." I lied smoothly.
" Well if you ever need anyone to talk to you know I'm here. That's what I'm for. After all I am your boy friend." He said offering me his help.
" Wait your m boy friend? Hmm I hadn't noticed." i giggled at my joke.
" What do you say we get out of this place and go somewhere more you know our style." he offered. I nodded and got out of my seat.
We ended up at the movies. Typical teenage date. We decided to see a scary movie, but I think that Georgio wanted to see it so that he could get me to snuggle up with him, not that I minded. We bought two tickets to go see Don't be afraid of the dark. People said it was good, but I had to see it for myself.
We sat down closer to the back where almost all the couples sit to make out. As the people began to show up it got louder and louder. Out of all the people in this god damn town we HAD to bump into Gerard and Shauna. God how I hate that Bitch. I saw them first, but they didn't noticed me so I tried to hide, but stupid Shauna saw me and yelled across the room " Bella!" I cursed under my breathe, but forced a smile.
" Hey what are you doing?" Gerard asked as we came closer.
" Actually I am here with Georgio." I stated. I saw Gerard frown slightly for a second, but then
he smiled. But I saw it. I saw it in his eyes. The pain and the jealousy.
" Well why don't you guys join us? It can be like a double date!" Shauna said excitedly, but I could see right through it. She knew I liked Gerard she just wanted to see me in pain. Bitch.
" I really don't thi-"
" Yeah we'll do it!" Georgio said from behind me.
" Sure why not." I forced another smile. We took our seats and the movie started shortly after. Fifteen minutes into the movie Gerard and Shauna started making out. I made a face of disgust and then turned to Georgio and kissed him lightly on the cheek. He smiled and returned the favor. Thirty minutes late Shauna was basically giving Gerard a lap dance. I seriously felt like I was gonna be sick so I decided to go the bathroom.
I ran into the bathroom and dropped onto my knees in front of the toilet and spilled out everything I had eaten. After I finsihed doing my business I rinsed my mouth with water and then took out my phone and called Frank. Ring. Ring. Ring.
" Hello?" answered the voice of my bestie.
" Frank I need a huge favor." I said.
" What is it? And let me guess it has something to do with being at the movies with Gerard and Shauna?" He guessed.
" How did you know?!" I asked.
" Gerard." He simply stated.
" Oh. Well I need you to call me and pretend your my mom and tell me I have to leave, because I can't take it anymore. If I wait any longer Gerard and Shauna will probably end up having sex." I begged.
" Fine." He said and the hunged up. I walked out of the bathroom and sat back down into my seat next to Georgio. Thankfully Gerard and Shauna stopped grinding on each other and were watching the movie." I quickly texted Frank ' Now.' before I sat down. Shortly after sure enough my phone rang. I whispered to Georgio.
" I have to take it. It's my mom." He nodded and I walked outside the doors.
" Did it work?" Frank asked on the other end of the line.
" Sure did." I assured him.
" Good. "
" Okay I am going to go back and fore fill the rest of the plan." I said.
" Okay, but you owe me!" He said.
" Yeah, yeah." I replied before I hung up. I walked back for the last time and explained to Georgio what had happened. And then left. I don't know what I was going to do because quite frankly I don't think I can take this any longer. If Gerard could make me throw up what else could he do? I don't think I want to know.
Any good? Should I keep going? REviews would be appreciated

Reduce, reuse, recycle

- rather rapid said...
in other words you'd like racing reduced to NASCAR. it's easier to just bet at one track. Get rid of all the others. I'll let someone else elaborate. I hate to read stuff like this.
- September 29, 2009 at 5:26 PM
You would have better luck convincing Major League Baseball to add a fourth outfielder, make three balls consitute a walk, and remove Joe Buck from all television appearances.
Horse racing, like Baseball, is what it is. We can see some shake ups, an interleague every now and then, but it's take it or leave it.
I'll take it.
Oh, and I LOVE Suffolk Downs.
- September 29, 2009 at 6:13 PM
Stupid. This is the USA. A massive country. We would be losing tens of thousands of jobs under your plan.
Horse racing needs to change their pricing plan (aka Santa Anita getting only 4 to 6 percent of every simulcast dollar wagered)somehow some way. Takeout is outrageous too. Something along the lines of Betfair in Europe.
- September 29, 2009 at 7:20 PM
I think you forgot to mention that the O'Meara Foundation would compensate all the racetrack employees who lose their jobs when your plan is put into effect. I'm sure that the O'Meara Foundation has considered how much it would take to put the children of the jockeys, the grooms, the waiters, the waitresses, the teamsters, the electricians, the laborers, the security guards, the accountants, the mutuel clerks and all the other people who make their living because of places like Beulah, Fairmount Park, Evangeline, Prairie Meadows and Ellis Park through school and into respectable and comfortable lives. Your foundation trustees are to be congratulated for their foresight and consideration for others!

I don't like to watch junior varsity horse racing. I'm having a hard time watching varsity horse racing. Take the emotion out of it and it makes sense. The water needs to be cooked off to concentrate the flavor.
The O'Meara Foundation does have a ring to it, though a respectable and comfortable life is not my responsibility. I work hard and my life is neither respectable nor comfortable. They'll be OK.
I'd rather watch good racing than nickel claimers. But rabid parents want JV scores in the newspaper ... so long as their kid is playing. As soon as THEIR kid moves on, they don't care for the JV scores to be in the paper. Same thing here.
Again, strip the emotion out of it. It may even be a good idea to let the sport die. Who is it serving? Breeders?
Fear not! It's not like any of this will happen, but it would go a long way into making me respect the product.

Did yu know that Rachel is in Saratoga ? Did she ever really leave ?
- September 30, 2009 at 10:10 PM

Yes I did know Rachel was here. I've been on the backside here and there after the meet. She leaves on Tuesday.
Thanks for the link.

Hits, put-outs and a Garbanzo tournament victory
By Bora Reed
Bora Reed, an Albany Berkeley Girls Softball League parent and the league's reporter coordinator recently wrote to Berkeleyside wondering if we would publish game reports. "Why not?" was our reply. Here's the first:
The Albany Berkeley Girls Softball League season is well under way, with girls grades 1-8 building skills, learning teamwork and having fun. Berkeleyside provided one perspective on the league from Moneyball author Michael Lewis in December. Below is a report of the Older Division's mid-season tournament last Saturday, along with a few reports from games in the Middle and Younger Divisions. Special thanks to the team of embedded reporters for the game write-ups.
Zonta Garbanzos Win Mid-Season Tournament
Zonta Clubs' Garbanzos girls softball squad jumped to an early commanding lead from the get-go in their first game on Saturday against the Friedman-Brueggemeyer Fantastic Flying Frying Pans with one run each scored by Zinnia Thewlis, Grace Rusin, Dylan Kurzgul and Anne Mugler. The four-run lead was held throughout the four-inning game thanks to sharp pitching from Zinnia and Grace and deft fielding skills of Claire McNally and Griffen Campbell. … Continue reading »
Dianne Reeves, a regal figure in jazz world, plays Berkeley
It's been at least two generations since jazz stars took on aristocratic titles, otherwise Dianne Reeves would surely be known as The Queen. The gorgeous singer with an even more glorious voice is one of jazz's most regal figures, an artist who embodies the music's enduring values of elegance, class and improvisational poise (which isn't to say that she can't get earthy when the music requires a little grit).
She's a performer with a gift for transforming any space she inhabits into her living room, where she spins evocative tails for her listeners. Over the years I've seen her tear the roof off little theaters and mesmerize the Hollywood Bowl, where she put together events for several years as the Los Angeles Philharmonic's first head of jazz programming.
"Small, large, it doesn't make a difference," says Reeves, 55, who plays Friday at Zellerbach Hall for Cal Performances with her longtime pianist and music direcotr Peter Martin, bassist Reginald Veal, drummer Terreon Gully, and Brazilian guitar master Romero Lubambo. "No matter where you are, it's all the same place when it comes to communicating with an audience." … Continue reading »
Renovated Claremont library branch opens Saturday
After a year of construction, the refurbished Claremont Branch of the Berkeley Public Library will reopen Saturday May 5 at 1 pm with music, food, and greetings by a host of dignitaries.
"We're so proud of it," said Donna Corbeil, director of the library. "We are so excited."
The renovation of the branch paid attention to historical details while installing state-of-the-art equipment that brings the building into the 21st century. The original 1924 entrance has been turned into a huge glass reading nook and the wooden furnishings have been redone, giving the main reading room a classic feel.
There are new computers in the reading room (eight for adults and three for children), an automated book-sorting system, a new heating and cooling system that should better control the library's temperature and ventilation, and flat screens to see movies, get database training, or develop computer apps. … Continue reading »
Bomb threat closes several Berkeley streets Wednesday
Police blocked several streets and prevented people getting into their homes Wednesday night on the north side of the UC Berkeley campus after a man reported hearing a ticking in his van and said he was concerned about a possible bomb.
The 20-year-old man called the Berkeley police at 7:36 pm to report a ticking sound in his van which was parked, unlocked, near Le Roy and Le Conte avenues. The man, who lives in the 2500 block of Le Conte Avenue, said he had recently fired an employee and the employee had made some threats.
Due to the circumstances, the BPD Watch Commander directed that the area be cordoned off for safety and activated the BPD EOD (Explosive Ordinance Device) to respond, according to the Berkeley Police. The Watch Commander also directed personnel to activate the Berkeley Emergency Notification System (BENS), to advise community members of the possible explosive device and to remain in their homes. BPD officers evacuated community members from homes adjacent to the van. … Continue reading »

Berkeley buildings are winners in architecture awards
The San Francisco chapter of the American Institute of Architects recently announced the winners of its 2012 Design Awards, and four Berkeley projects were awarded in the progam, from a total of 26 across the Bay Area.
Mark Cavagnero Associates won a Merit Award in the Interior Architecture category for their renovation of UC Berkeley's Durant Hall. Leger Wanaselja Architecture received a Merit award in the Energy and Sustainability category for the partners' own home, the McGee Salvage House on McGee Street in central Berkeley. In the same category, Noll & Tam Architects won a citation award for the YMCA-PG&E Teen Center in downtown Berkeley. And Diller Scofidio + Renfro/EHDD Architecture received a Merit award in the Unbuilt Design category for their designs for the forthcoming Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film Archive.
John King, Urban Design Critic at the San Francisco Chronicle said Berkeley did particularly well this year. "This is a large number for Berkeley." But he cautions that this doesn't necessarily mean an affirmation of shifting Berkeley design trends. … Continue reading »

UC Berkeley on Occupy the Farm: "Time is running out"
Update: 9:24 am: The Dean of UC Berkeley's College of Natural Resources, J. Keith Gilless, says he is willing to facilitate a meaningful dialogue about the future of the Gill Tract but a constructive dialogue cannot take place while the site is occupied and CNR staff need to prepare the site for this year's research activities.
In a message Gilless sent out to his faculty this morning at 8:22am, Gilless wrote: "I firmly believe that biology research and a well-organized metropolitan agriculture program could ultimately not just co-exist on the site, but benefit from interaction… The only way we can move forward to reconcile the needs and aspirations of everyone is for the current occupation to end so that CNR's staff can prepare the site."
He concluded: "As dean, I cannot be a party to any resolution to this unfortunate conflict that does not respect the academic freedom of CNR's biologists to conduct their research, or in which I relinquish the rights of my faculty and students now or in the future to help chart the course of the University's research, teaching, and extension activities. … Continue reading »

Icelander, Víkingaskip
Víkingaskipið Card is völundarsmíð. A model of the famous víkingaskip found at archaeological in 1882 with Gauk stead in Sandefjord, Norway. Local Gauk ship that has been so called veittist was well into the ground. Scientists have archaeological and historical assessment issues so that the ship is built in 870, four years before Ingo Arnarson sailed across the oceans and the land was in Iceland. It is therefore assumed that the ship Icelandic settlers were identical to the ship from Gauksstöðum.
Gunnar Marel Eggertsson began construction of a Viking ship in October 1994 and completed the second year. The ship was launching in March 1996. Gunnar Marel ship built for the most part one, but enjoyed the guidance of many.
The ship is made of pine and oak that came sérvalin from forests in Scandinavia. Sailing vessel was manufactured in Denmark. The design of the stem of the ship was given to many factors. Height nýttist policy in two ways, both the dragon head, which had to be seen around, and as a hedge against high waves on the high seas. Card is 22.5 meters long and 5.3 meters wide. Draft is 1.7 meters, the average is 7 nautical miles, speed is 18 nautical miles.
First, after the Icelander was sjósettur ship was used to educate school children about language víkingatímann. Gunnar Marel Eggertsson intention was, however, that the sailing ship to the U.S. in 2000 in memory of the voyage Terminal teinöld earlier, but that year was given to various western events to commemorate the millennium anniversary of the settlement of the Nordic people. All of this worked.
Gunnar Marel Eggert true Icelander crew set out from Reykjavik, on the 17th Independence Day June 2000. The first stop was the Surat Thani. Where the crew took part in celebrations to mark the Dales eventually building a replica farm Eiriksstadr the highlands, where Eric the Red lived long ago.
From Búðardalur was placed in the sea. The cruise was a long, rigorous and certainly not risk-free. Out of loss, southern tip of Greenland, the ship hit the ice and fog, and was some risk exposure. Everything went well but in the end. To Brattahlíðar in Greenland was víkingaskipið 15th July which was held national meetings and to present víkingahátíðar Margret Thorhilda Danadrottningu. From Brattahlid was sailing so continued. It had a lot of glory on 28 July when Card came to L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, the only original Viking place where the paths. New York came fifth ship October after more than three months' voyage from Iceland.
Icelander sailing to America and bring the ship into port in New York attracted massive attention. TV stations competed to show video of stopping the ship and the suits that would be a good promotional.
After the arrival of the ship to the U.S. ship was in a few months in storage in Westbrook, Connecticut-matrix. For a time was a few roaming policy on its fate. In July 2002, was made heyrinkunnugt the agreement of various parties on the southwest, led Reykjanes, the purchase of the ship was moved back to Iceland in the autumn of that year. First few years after the ship was outside the coast, but found the roof of the nýbyggðu Víkingaheimum Njardwick Fitjar in the autumn of 2008.
The vessel has now been placed on the pillars, which carry one and a half meter up to the ceiling. It makes people able to go down there and enjoy the great völundarsmíðar the ship.
The Master Shipwright
Viking's Icelandic Indenpendence Day was celebrated on June 17. This celebration featured a wide country tour of Vikings in North America which departed the ports around 15:30 in Reykjavik. Thousand years have passed since the first group of Europeans, Icelandic Vikings, sailed ship to the United States.
No lognmolla or meðalmennska
You can say that it is not exactly commonplace idea to let him drop it in mind to build víkingaskip to fly on to America, as all may be aware that since Gunnar Marel Eggertsson, an Icelandic shipbuilder and captain, is there is no lognmolla or meðalmennska. Gunnar is from a famous family of ship factories in the island and was himself a master of a ship being built only 25 years old.
"I grew up in the islands," says Gunnar, "with Atlantic in front of me and all discussions in the home were all just about boats and seamanship.
Beginning of the idea of sailing was an Icelander Gunnar runs till he was 10 years old and heard that his grandfather talking to a journalist about shipbuilding. "It spannst like something from the discussion of, the grandparents went to say blaðamanninum what Viking ships would be a good ship and fast and what they had kunnað much for a thousand years ago. We would in itself does not come much better than people had come the . Gunnar says that this little story has turned into a spark someone who has never really gone. He has since dreamed of sailing on a Viking ship across the sea.
Local Gauk ship model
Víkingaskipið Icelander was built between 1994-1996 and was Gunnar Marel himself over unfortunately and in fact much the only carpenter. The emergence of the ship, however indirectly attributable to the year 1882, when archaeologists dug in Norway famous Gauk Local Vessels from the earth. Card is precisely constructed with local Gauk ship model, but the ship Gunnar believes that the advanced verkvit and technical skill of a Viking ship factories, the highest rise over time, compared to those ships that have been identified. As is well known Viking ships have long been classified into two categories, and the longitudinal ship, where the ship spent rather leisurely heavy ships but by far the ship fast and efficient and suitable for military purposes. Gunnar says that Card would be considered a long-ships, but many scholars believe that the model, Gauk local ship, has been a kind of attempt to combine advantages of both, knarrarins stability and speed and agility by far the ship. The result is that Card has proved to be fast and very stable skreitt seagoing vessels.
From Gaius to Icelander
In 1991 Gunnar Marel other yfrmaður a Norwegian Viking ship Gaius, which that year sailed from Norway to Washington city in the United States and later from Washington to Rio de Janeiro and a Amason river in the middle of South America. Asked Gunnar said that Gaia and Card were in many ways similar, since both produced by local Gauk ship model, but would differ Card Gaius materially. Since hired mostly to Gaia was built entirely by man-made drawings from the museum, which Gauk Local vessel is preserved, but says that is not quite kórréttar. "The greatest difference is that," says Gunnar, "the keel of the drawing is too straight and therefore need all the strength in him. This I knew before I started the Icelander and called for the museum where Gauk Local vessel is preserved and asked for permission to go into a chain around the ship and break issue in depth. Collection manager was somehow reluctant, but I became so bold, when a small bar, to draw me into a chain and achieve the fundamental issues that I thought was missing. That why Icelander as he is today. I appreciate that only by having jumped in there for a moment, kind of illegal, the Icelander is today considered to be the best copy that was made by Gauk the vessel. "
However, says the Icelander is far from being identical Gauk Local ship. Very difficult to achieve the brilliant beats that occur with regard have been there. Card is on the other hand, the best thing he and his companions could be constructed, and now have to give it a try if it will be good enough.
Route is not easy to deal with
The last stop raiding the ship before it puts to sea towards Greenland is Surat Thani, the nearest port, to Eric's stead in highlands, where James Erickson is alleged to have been born. We made itineraries thought it appropriate that the trip from Iceland would start there to witness the father and son, Eric and Leif, appropriate respect by flying close to their wake.
Gunnar said when asked to route from Iceland to Greenland and America was far from being the easiest in the world and this route would never be easy to sail on a Viking ship. Because of this trip has been scheduled well-kept bed and the estimated time between the ports up to twice as long, but it does to fly under the best circumstances. In these areas you can always expect vályndum weather, but Gunnar says no need to roll out such an advance. At that price simply taken in due course. The ship is well attended, most of crew have known each other since childhood in the island and have tried many things together. "We know each other and out and can feel ashamed and rib without cause some damage."
Had left the administration of vocational schools students
Students from the Technical College in Hafnarfjordur stood year international voluntary project to build 64 left and they brought Gunnar Marel understand attribute as a gift in May. Shields were constructed in the spirit smíðavinnu Vikings, from 8mm thick pine panels. The reason for the number of armor is that the ships that were usually 65-70 people in the crew, of which 64 that formed two teams rational. 32 men had to row the boat at once and it was therefore necessary to have at least 64 on board for temporary employment to move forward. Understand what the width is concerned, it was their primary course of being used in combat, but they also play a vital role to form a shelter for the crew to sail. Not granted by, it probably has often been a breezy sail on the open wooden ships out on the gods have.
The crew Icelander now are not 64, but only 9 people and two ravens that the crew has to a hen. The case ranna are two motors that take a lot less space than 64 crew members. I will not even be able to sail the ship for much power, but will sail almost exclusively for the magnets on the route between ports. Engine power will be used only when necessary and pressing them in a very short period of time, the ship simply can not tolerate that they drove too much. Not even an extra input, just left home. A few such are included in the movement want to row the boat last distance to shore in a matter viðkomustaða Icelanders long way to Vinland.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Health Center
Treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Diarrhea
Alternative Therapy for IBS continued...
Studies on herbs have been mixed. Peppermint has been used to relax colon muscles. The Mayo Clinic advises anyone who'd like to try it to get the enteric-coated capsules. A possible side effect is heartburn.
It is really important for people who want to try herbs to go to a trained specialist, says Jonathan Gilbert, who has a diplomate in herbology and acupuncture from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.
Going to a registered herbalist, says Gilbert, assures IBS patients that they are receiving the best care for their individual symptoms. "We'll adapt a formula (of herbs) to suit the actual patient," he says. "That will be determined by talking to the patients, looking at their symptoms, and doing a traditional diagnosis."
If you want to try acupuncture or herbs for your IBS symptoms, talk with your doctors first. Some herbs can interact with other medications.
Treating IBS can be frustrating, largely because it's a complex syndrome. Not every treatment works for every person. And your symptoms may change as you are treated for IBS. You may have diarrhea now, but suffer from constipation in a few weeks, and then have diarrhea again.
Your best bet? Find a doctor who understands IBS, and work together on your treatment plan, says Waring. Your doctor can help you determine the best course for you.

Biomagnetic Therapy
Biomagnetic Therapy
An alternative to better health
Find us on Google+
Biomagnetic Therapy is a healing alternative, utilizing magnets, that can diagnose and facilitate healing by detecting ph imbalances in the body. Biomagnetic Therapy will restore the proper ph balance of the organs in your body to help heal itself.
The main purpose of this site is to create awareness and consideration of natural remedies that can be helpful to the overall well being. Non-invasive alternatives have been gaining momentum in the United States, and 120 million estimated world-wide users of therapeutic magnets. The accessibility, inexpensiveness and multiple benefits are a great option considering the rising cost and harmful risks of drugs.
Biomagnetic Therapy has recently added great advancements in the medical field, in such a way that has never been seen before.
Biomagnetic Therapy utilizes ferrite magnets to balance the body's PH (Potential of Hidrogen) which has great relevance in the vast network of chemical processes in our body.
The ideal PH balance is 7.4 measured in a range of 5.0 (Acidity) to 9.5 (Alkalinity), our bodies, just like the pools we swim require a balanced PH in order to be in optimal functionality and performance.
Since more than 75% of our body is composed of water, this PH factor is even more relevant, to our health. This percentage is even greater in new born babies.
Nutrition may help balancing our PH up to a certain degree. Red meats, fats, sugars create an acidic environment in our body, and vegetables, fruits, whole grains promote an alkaline PH.
An acid environment is unhealthy and promotes disease to spread in our bodies. Some of them include;
- Fatigue
- Anxiety
- Diabetes
- Joint pain
- Irritability and Depression
- Kidney problems
- Obestiy
- Fungal growth
- Hormonal imbalances
- Digestive system related diseases
And the list can go on and on. So listen to your body, and analyze if your diet is mostly rich in acid or alkaline content, and try to balance it out according to the PH factor. This can greatly influence your overall well being. Water plays an important role in balancing your PH, consider drinking at least 2 liters or the equivalent of half a gallon of good quality water every day.
Biomagnetic Therapy
White-papers Biomagnetic pairs from Dr. Isaac Goiz Duran
Biomagnetic Therapy studies, detects, classifies, measures and corrects the fundamental alterations of the PH of living organisms. When the PH is balanced it immediately regulates and corrects the infectious pathologies. This new therapeutic medical criteria is able to identify the origin of viral and bacterial diseases, as well as glandular dysfunctions caused by pathogenic micro-organisms in the organs. It is possible to recover health through bio-magnetic fields of medium intensity, produced by natural magnets of 1,000 to 30,000 power of attraction (gauss), applied in pairs in specific parts of the body called bio-magnetic pairs.
Up to present and after 25 years of practicing bio-magnetism, Dr. Goiz has identified 250 pairs that cover most of the gland dysfunctions, diseases, syndromes and illnesses such as diabetes, cancer and HIV.

Q and A answers, Part IPosted on September 19th, 2008 – 3:33 PM
By La Velle
Sorry this took so long. Had some other tasks pop up on me in recent days.
Here's the first part. I'll try to have Part II ready to go on Monday – in time for you to get to work and continue to be unproductive while reading this blog.
from Milldog:
Looking ahead to 2009,(although 08′ isn't over yet!) what are the key areas the Twins front office needs to address?
Obviously, the FO needs to identify who should be part of the bullpen next year. You can't just say, `these guys stink and let's dump them all."
It's not unreasonable to think that Pat Neshek comes back in good shape, Jesse Crain is sharper the second season after surgery and Matt Guerrier settles back in his old role. Dennys Reyes is a free agent and is due a huge raise. Don't laugh – Ron Mahay is making $4 million this year. Will the Twins bring Big Sweat back? Craig Breslow seems like a good second lefty to have around. And I really like what I've seen from Jose Mijares. But I think they need one new arm in the bullpen.
The Twins also need to figure out who should be in their outfield in 2009. The emergence of Denard Span has raised the stakes. Michael Cuddyer is a core player and a clubhouse leader. Carlos Gomez has truckloads of talent. Delmon Young will hit a lot of homers in the league, he just needs to refine his approach some.
There's not enough room for all of them.
Finally, they need to figure out if they want to have a jump ball between Brian Buscher, Luke Hughes and Danny Valencia next year for third base – or swing a deal for an established third baseman (if one is available).
from JustinCB:
To compliment Milldog's post above, Howard mentioned in his post that the Twins absolutely need to make a move for a 3rd base power hitter. The money is there and the talent is available. If you agree with this La Velle, who do you think the Twins should be looking at this off-season?
The three names that jump out are Adrian Beltre, Kevin Kouzmanoff and GarretAtkins.
Beltre is the best of the group, and the target of various overtures from the Twins during the season. He's headed into the final year of his contract – and will be coming off of left shoulder and thumb surgery (the thumb is the worst of the two – a ligament is being replaced). Beltre should be good to go by spring training. But what if he isn't?
Kouzmanoff has upside, but his strikeouts and walks are ugly. Still, the Pods may try to move him so Chase Headley can play third. Atkins was believed to be a core player, but a recent report suggested that the Rocks may move him during the offseason. His home-road splits scare me. But the Twins have asked about him before.
The Twins would be wise to check in on all three of these players. And while it's hard to part with a starter during the season, if one of the current starters – maybe not Franchise – have to be part of the package to land one of these players – especially if Beltre is healthy.
from RF:
Is the bullpen and rotation just worn out? Are they not used to pitching so many innings? And how much do we miss Neshek right now?
Actually, Aaron Gleeman pointed out recently that the starting rotation has averaged about 6 innings an outing, which is better than 2006 and 2007. So the bullpen hasn't been worn out that much. I think the problem with bullpen has been Matt Guerrier in a tougher role, Pat Neshek being hurt and Jesse Crain in the first year following surgery. I'd still look into getting a proven right-handed set-up man – but it wouldn't surprise me if the FO stands pat here.
from Tony:
Would you consider voting for Cliff Lee for MVP in a year where the best candidates (Morneau, Hamilton) are on non-playoff teams, and there is no offensive player really having a monster year?
Heh. I think everyone knows how I feel about pitchers winning MVP awards. I could always change my mind…but I haven't yet. And how far has Lee gotten the Tribe this year?
Read my baseball insider on Sunday for thoughts on the MVP race.
from Plunkton:
With Yost getting the boot in Milwaukee – should Gardy be a little nervous? *-).
I expect Bill Smith to sit down with Gardy after the season and hammer out a contract extension. Gardy's moves can be questioned, but I don't know of a manager who doesn't have moves questioned.
from romer:
Rondell White had a couple good months with the Twins before chronic injury. And I remember the confidence Don Baylor gave the Twins. I was hoping that Ruiz would play that kind of role.Why are the Twins reluctant to use him much? He was doing pretty well for a while. He's just not that good? Hard to believe that since he's the AAA batting champion.
I'd like to see more of Ruiz. What's unfortunate is that there was a rush to get Cuddy back on-line once he got healthy, which killed Ruiz's chances of getting in the lineup during the recent run vs lefties.
Ruiz deserves to be on a major league roster. He's paid his dues. I just don't know if this is the right situation. Kubel should DH vs lefties and righties. Ruiz is very bad at first base. I don't see how he can get 300 at-bats next season. And if he can't, will he get dull on the bench?
from MarkW:
Honestly, what do you think of Gardenhire's managing late in ballgames, late in the season, or in the playoffs? Basically in any "must win" situations? 5-9 record in September this year, and 6-15 lifetime in the post season… I understand all the cookie cutter answers of how he gets his guys ready to play, knows how to manage these kids, is a players manager, does the best he can with what he's given, but in all honesty, his teams have had talent and have won 4 division titles, yet have been embarrassed in the playoffs. Does this not point back to the fact that his over matched with his "we'll get 'em tomorrow" attitude?
I think the shuffling of roles in the bullpen put Gardy in a no-win situation this season. Honestly, everyone in the bullpen has given up big hits. He gave relievers chances to get hot, and they never did. The FO deserves the blame for not addressing the situation properly.
And, while no one will admit it, they are mentally wrecked. Matt Guerrier has tried so hard to be accountable after outings, but has struggled to put his thoughts into words. I could tell it was eating him up. I was told Joe Nathan sat in the dugout for 45 minutes after Tuesday's loss to Cleveland. Does the coaching staff deserve blame for not coming up with the right words to straighten them out? The coaches seemed to say a lot of the right things the previous six years, so I don't know….
As for the postseason, they ran into the Yankees twice, a red hot Angels team once. The second time they faced Oakland, they didn't have Liriano and sent the skeletal remains of Brad Radke to the mound. When were the Twins the favored team in any of those series?
from MarkW:
And do you think our pitching philosophy of pitching to contact is our ndoing at this point?
NOTE: over the course of under four games, we gave up 17 consecutive runs via the home run (on 10 homers). And the only thing that managed to finally endthe long ball pain was the Twins' other major weakness — defense. (Team defensive efficiency of .694, 20th in baseball.)
I think the undoing was a developing rotation learning tough lessons, a bullpen that became a playpen and offseason acquisitions that led to poor infield defense. The Twins had Brendan Harris at second and Mike Lamb at third to open the season – and Adam Everett had a bad shoulder for most of the season. Some of the pitching problems are understandable. The bullpen needs tweaking. The defense was unacceptable.
Fortunately, there is evidence that the rotation will continue to improve. Slowey, Baker and Franchise look to be the big three of the group. The bullpen needs at least one new arm in addition to Mijares becoming the primary lefty. The Twins need to identify a shortstop. I vote for Casilla at short and Matt Tolbert at second next year, with Nick Punto as a super sub.
from Jake:
Is it just me, or has Joe Nathan gotten a little "Boofy" around the mid section (and neck, and face, and legs…)? Maybe that is why he has sucked for the final push. He is now fat and has no endurance for the end of the season…???
It's just you. No doubt, it's just you.
from Fry Dog:
LEN3 – Toronto has a good bullpen and word has it they want to dump BJ Ryan's salary. Since the Twins are down on payroll, any chance we might trade for BJ as the 8th inning guy? Or, do you think the Jay's would consider parting with Brandon League? We could use a guy like him that throws mid-upper 90's for the set up role.
If not Ryan, League…who else is touted as a top-notch 8th inning guy that we might consider trading for?
Fat chance with Ryan. While I think Brandon League has a heck of an arm. He's had some health issues and his slinging motion suggests more to come.
As for other options, the cost of middle relief has gone up so much that teams are holding onto their good ones as long as they can.
My complaint is that the Twins should have moved Rob Delaney and Anthony Slama through the system quicker. But I think Delaney could be a factor next year.
from jedidiah:
Why the hell are so many people giving up on the Twins? Are you assuming we're going to let the Sox walk over us in the Dome next week? I'll admit things don't look good right now especially after how we used up our bullpenlast night. But still, making up 2.5 games is still possible. If we beat Lee today we'll have some momentum going into Tampa Bay, which will be a tough series but I can see the Twins taking 3 out of 4 and then ready to demolish the White Sox. Wishful thinking? Probably. It's just too soon to give up.
I was ready to throw dirt on the season too, then Alexi Casilla hit that improbable homer last night. Seriously, I was screaming at the TV on that one.
Can't wait for the White Sox series. The Twins already are getting loads of national media requests for credentials.
Is jedidiah your real name?
a clusterbomb from Dawgzilla:
1) Why don't we EVER win championships in Minnesota?
Um, the Thunder won it all a few years ago.
2) Why is it that all (exception for Ziggy, new owner of Wild given a pass, being he just bought team) Minnesota owners are tight!
Um, Glen Taylor has tried to spend, just not wisely. And you have to respect the regional economics that are in play.
3) Are you sick of the excuse "small market team"?
It is what it is. But you don't have to outspend to win. Front offices need to be held accountable for bad moves, like the Ryan Mills- B.J. Garbe -Adam Johnson draft run the Twins went on, or the countless cheap free agents that have flopped – going back to Sean Bergman and Butch Huskey.
4) Will there ever be an athletic administration that cares about athletics at the U., namely the big revenue making football team?
Um, the Gophs cared enough to try to admit a borderline academic case in Marqueis Gray and import JUCO players. Give Dinkytown Tim a couple more years.
5) What are the chances that Brad, I love my West Coast offense and have a man crush on T. Joke., "Chilly" Childress fails to blow up a dynamite/gun powder factory with all the oil from the Middle East and a flamethrower?
I can't relate to this concept….and T-Jax is now T-Backup.
from Ryan:
Could you step into the batter's box against Mike Herman and get a hit?
Me? The worst athlete EVER from Chicago? I couldn't hit Molly Gallatin.

2011 XTR Sneak Peak
Posted by: Shannon Boffeli |July 14, 2010 7:33 PM
Written by: Evan Plews
During the BC Bike Race, many of us had a chance to check out the new Shimano XTR 980 group for the first time. Some sponsored riders like Geoff Kabush and Melanie McQuaid even had the opportunity to race most of the week on the new parts. I was fortunate to be able to take some short rides on bikes equipped with the group and even interview Paul Thomasberg from Shimano regarding the latest edition of XTR.
Thomasberg is a long-time
resident and was schooling the race scene when I began riding in the early nineties. By then, Paul had already been developing the first ever XTR group as part of Shimano's Skunkworks, and was well on his way to being inducted into the MTB Hall of Fame in 2004. Like many other riders of the old-school, Thomasberg competed in all disciplines of mountain bike racing even finishing on the podium at the 1990 World Downhill Championships and at the NORBA Nationals. He helped found Central Oregon Trail Alliance (COTA) and is likely quite responsible for turning the
area into the MTB mecca it has become.
While the new XTR is similar in function to the 970 vintage it replaces, it has gained more refinement and polish--literally. It could be the most cosmetically appealing XTR since 900 as it returns to its roots of forged and finished aluminum. Innovation definitely goes more than skin-deep with major changes throughout the group. The two most prominent being more a general philosophy: Dyna-Sys and Rider-Tuned. While the parts themselves all see some modification, the 10 speed drive train and brakes seem the most obvious.
Dyna-Sys is what Shimano hopes to be the next big revolution in shifting for mountain bikes. I can remember the original SIS groups and wonder if there may be more than just a literal corollary! Dyna-Sys includes a 10 speed cog set that offers a wide range of gears in the back mated to a close ratio front crank set. As Shimano has continued to develop technologies to improve shifting, this next step includes an asymmetric chain which even further integrates the shifting both front and rear mechanisms. While racers will be offered double front crank sets, most riders will find the triple ring options more seamless and functional in gear selection.
Rider-Tuned is the mantra behind the new XTR--it allows different types of riders to select different options with XTR. This is most evidenced in the double/triple cranks and the brakes where the "Trail" version features Servo-Wave technology for more power and modulation at the same weight as 970. For the racer crowd, the standard brake weighs a couple ounces less and is still packed with tremendous performance. After riding them, I have to say it has the most incredible feel of anything currently on the market! Changes don't stop there as the pistons are now ceramic and the rotors are a combination of steel
aluminum to keep the performance high even when the heat is on.
The wheels and pedals will also have "Trail" options with wider rims and larger platforms being the notable difference. Speaking of pedals, the race version of the 980 pedal is also refined with a considerably lower stack height, larger platform, and even more mud clearance. This is great since it also seems to retain the bomb-proof internals that have made Shimano SPD pedals the industry standard since the beginning.
Other small but important changes include the return of a clamp-on left crank arm eliminating the need for special tools required for the 970.The left shifter now has a switch for double or triple crank sets, and front derailleurs also come specific to both applications. Unfortunately for some, two technologies will be discontinued with the latest revision: Dual Control levers and Rapid Rise or low-normal rear derailleurs. While Shimano will still support those innovations, the market hasn't embraced them despite the obvious performance advantages. Instead XTR derailleurs will adopt the Shadow geometry for improvements in rigidity, weight savings, and durability.
It seems that Shimano has set another standard with the new XTR 980 group. While it remains to be seen if it will have the same impact of earlier versions despite the more competitive component market this time around, my first impressions were favorable. If all the victories at BC Bike Race are any indication, then the new XTR will continue to set the standard for MTB race performance!

EBACE 2011: Piaggio Aero Announces Sales Reps for the UK and Egypt
With a maximum speed of 402 knots, the P.180 Avanti II, made by Italy's Piaggio Aero Industries, is the world's fastest turboprop, while also boasting the largest cabin in its class of midsize jets and twin turboprops. But it's also known for a stylish airframe and twin pusher design, which has been compared to a work of art.
In fact, an Avanti II recently became a canvas for noted artist Mimmo Paladino, who painted the airframe with wildly colorful ancestral symbols, a work he dubbed "Cacciatore di Stelle," or Star Hunter, and displayed in Milan.
"We are very proud that Master Mimmo Paladino has been inspired by a Piaggio Aero P.180 aircraft and that he would turn it into a unique work of art," said Alberto Galassi, CEO of Piaggio Aero Industries. "The P.180 is an expression of Italian genius in design and engineering. That's why this creation is an unprecedented event."
Here at EBACE, attendees can admire the art of both Paladino and Piaggio. A 1:13 scale model of the painted aircraft is on display at Piaggio Aero's stand (2143), while an Avanti II is on view in the static display area.
Meanwhile, Piaggio Aero is using EBACE as a canvas to paint a picture of its global expansion. The company introduced new exclusive sales agents for the Avanti II in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and in Egypt. Corporate Jet Management (CJM), based at Farnborough Airport, will handle sales in the UK and Ireland. CJM manages and operates business aircraft for both private owners and its own fleet.
The appointment will enable Piaggio Aero "to expand its sales business in these two important European aviation markets," said Giuliano Felton, the company's deputy general manager and chief commercial officer. "CJM is one of the most competent and dynamic aviation businesses, and today's agreement confirms the commitment of Piaggio Aero to further strengthen its position within the traditional European markets."
"CJM is extremely proud to be associated with Piaggio Aero," said company director David Stark. "In today's ecologically sensitive world, the Piaggio Avanti II is set apart from its competitors with its ability to achieve a high level of performance combined with great comfort, unique style and low emissions, thanks to its unrivaled fuel efficiency."
Cairo-based Alkan Air has been named exclusive sales representative for Egypt. The company, which operates an air taxi service and an authorized Hawker Beechcraft Maintenance Center, also plans to add an Avanti II to its own fleet.
"We have always been aware of the Avanti II's suitability for our market and I am delighted that we now have the opportunity not only to operate the aircraft but also to help other operators in the region to discover the many benefits of this excellent aircraft," said Awad Dargham, general manager of Alkan Air.
Piaggio Aero believes Alkan Air's knowledge and experience of the market will enable Piaggio "to efficiently approach this emerging North African market and learn more about the opportunities and benefits to grow its business there," according to Felton. "We have chosen this company because it is the leader in air services in Egypt, and we appreciate the way they manage this business in their country."

Speaker Pro Tem Mark Burkhalter on Thursday reaffirmed his commitment to helping the Georgia House make a smooth transition to a new leader, but also reconfirmed his intent to pursue the executive director's position with the Georgia World Congress Center.
"My heart was going in a different direction for many months," Burkhalter (R-Johns Creek) said in an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution before the House Republican caucus meets to nominate a new speaker.
He said if he is named to the GWCC job he will leave the General Assembly.
But he does not yet have the job, he stressed.
Burkhalter also said he has not been avoiding the media and didn't "slip in and out" of a caucus meeting last week, as it's been reported.
His son, he said, was at Northside Hospital alone preparing for surgery this past Monday. Burkhalter left him at the hospital to get to the caucus meeting and leave as soon as possible to return.
Still, the confluence of the events of the past month have been surreal, he said.
"This thing with the speaker was just uncanny in timing," Burkhalter said.
Burkhalter was already preparing a presentation to the World Congress Center search committee when Speaker Glenn Richardson tried to take his own life on Nov. 8. He had a final interview set for Dec. 7. In between, Richardson's ex-wife told an Atlanta television station that Richardson had cheated on her with a lobbyist for a utility company that stood to benefit from legislation the speaker was championing.
From there the calls for Richardson's resignation grew and Burkhalter was pulled into the fray.
"Between the time they said, 'OK, Mark, here's your time to come in and do your final interview' the speaker tried to take his life, his ex-wife gets on the news and a week unfolds of us trying to intervene and help him make the right decision," Burkhalter said.
Richardson announced on Thursday, Dec. 3 that he would resign on Jan. 1. Burkhalter, knowing he had in interview the following Monday for a job he very much wants, said he promised his fellow Republicans he'd help guide them through the transition.
But it wasn't until the following Monday, the day of his interview, that he announced he would not be a candidate to permanently replace Richardson as speaker.
He gave media interviews the day after Richardson's announcement that made it appear as if he planned to serve as speaker beyond the crisis. But he already knew, he said, what he had to do.
"I wake up (Friday) with a number of members calling me, assuming I'm going to be, that I wanted to be long-term speaker," Burkhalter said. "Suddenly, you're right in the midst of this career change and the unthinkable happens. And this constitutional responsibility gets thrown in your lap. It's just one of those things that you don't think or expect will happen."
So, he said, he made his decision. He will serve as speaker after Richardson resigns and lead the House through formal elections for new speaker and speaker pro tem after the Legislature returns Jan. 11. Then, he said, he'll serve as a rank-and-file lawmaker, and if he gets the World Congress Center job, he'll resign his seat.
Burkhalter would not talk for the record about Richardson's decision or his current condition. While he acknowledged that top Republican leaders met with Richardson at the Governor's Mansion to convince him to resign, he would not divulge details of the meeting or what was said.

Let's see — first he said he wanted the GWC job, then he said he was withdrawing his name from consideration for the GWC job to be speaker, now he says he is withdawing his name from consideration for the post of speaker so he can focus on getting the GWC job.
Who would hire this tool? I don't want him to be speaker because he's hyper-partisan and is more interested in power than doing good for Georgia — but I don't want him taking a $400K a year government job either.
Hey Mark, how about just going away and quit suckling from the public weal?

Easier to avoid the public scrutiny of Cheetah girl/lobbyist implications taking the GWCC job.

who are the other candidates for the wcc job? qualifications? why is salary the same level as guy leaving, who did the job successfully for 30+ years? how much does #2 make?
December 17th, 2009

as i said before, i believe the fix is in. we'll know once the vote comes in.

Burkhalter's candidacy for Executive Director of the GWCC is a bit intriguing. Did political connections or relevant experience make him a finalist for a coveted position that pays several hundred thousand dollars a year? The highly successful and well regarded Executive Director of the GWCC, who he would be replacing, honed his skills and demonstrated his expertise as the assistant general manager of the Los Angeles Convention Center prior to being hired.
A professional search firm would have certainly tapped a similar pool of people to source a replacement in fulfilling the GWCC Board's stated intent of conducting a nationwide search. So, it's a perplexing how a politico/real estate developer would be a competitive candidate based on the magnitude and complexity of the job. Of course, Mr, Burkhalter would certainly have a good understanding of what it takes to successfully oversee the GWCC having served as a member of the Legislative Oversight Committee for the GWCC authority.
December 17th, 2009
1:20 pm
He would rather have a permanent job that you don't have get elected to every year and he will make more money.Legislators should be banned from seeking agency head employment.What a fix!
December 17th, 2009
1:30 pm
Wait a minute. This is a guy who represents a part of the metro Atlanta area that is anti-Atlanta, and he wants the director job for a place in downtown Atlanta? Sounds as if GWCC will be moved outside of downtown Atlanta in the next 5-10 years if he is chosen. Something is not right with his wanting to be the next executive director of a place many outside of 285 despise.
December 17th, 2009
5:59 pm
i think those are good points, wonder if wcc is land locked and thus losing competitive edge? but seems like it would need to be closer to airport than farther north.

The Georgia World Congress Center is one of our state Government's great boondoggles, and the current manager has not only managed it since its inception, but he has also expanded it into his own empire. The people of Georgia have no idea what the WCC–which is a convention center for the City of Atlanta, not the state of Georgia–has cost us in construction costs, expansion, debt service, and operations–mainly as a public relations facility to make Atlanta famous and make money for chain hotels, downtown restaurants, and the Atlanta Establishment.
We need a Georgian to manage, downsize, and stop the growth of an agency the state could best do without. Certainly not another Los Angelano or anyone who views the people of this state and our culture with distaste and contempt like the guy there now. Good riddance to him asap.

The smoky char from the grill is what makes meat taste so mouthwateringly delicious in the summer. But sometimes a little sauce helps, too. Grilled Brown Sugar Pork Chops come together with a simple glaze that gets tangy sweetness from ginger, soy sauce, apple juice, and, of course, brown sugar. Baste the pork with the sauce throughout the grilling process, and you're in for a special dinnertime treat!

Ex-Soldier Charged In Wife's Death Gets October Trial Date
HOPKINSVILLE, Ky. (AP) - A former Fort Campbell soldier charged with killing his wife and trying to make it look like a suicide has been given an October trial date.
Christian County Circuit Judge Andrew Self also set an October 1 pre-trial hearing for 33-year-old Michael Korolevich. The trial has been scheduled to get underway October 13.
A grand jury charged Korolevich in March 2012 with the December 2011 shooting death of his wife, Kathleen McGee in Oak Grove.
She was shot in the head at the couple's Oak Grove home the day after being discharged from the Army and returning from her post in Germany.
The Kentucky New Era reported that prosecutors were arguing Korolevich killed his wife and tried to make it look like a drug- and alcohol-induced suicide.
