Harley Davidson: King of Motorcycles
Harley Davidson. The name means motorcycles. In business for over a hundred years, the company is universally acknowledged as the manufacturer of some of the world's finest motorcycles, and justly so.Beginning in the mind of William Harley and the backyard of his friend, Arthur Davidson, the pair created a 'motorized bicycle' that has evolved into the standard for fine two-wheeled transportation.Founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, their first bike didn't even have enough power to make it up the small hills of the town without pedal assistance. The pair were undaunted. Within a few years they were producing vehicles for the military fighting WWI and it's been the standard for military and police bikes...
In Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Ken Hasenmueller says he plans to trade in the license plate assigned to him at random for his Oldsmobile Cutlass: "666-KEN." He says at first he thought it was interesting. Now he fears people will think he's a Satanist.The association between the number 666 and Satan comes from Revelation 13:18: "This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is a man's number. His number is 666." Through the centuries, a great deal of superstition--let's call it what it really is--has attached itself to the numeral, so that people are as uneasy about being associated with it as they are about working in an office building on the 13th floor...
2004-05 NBA Season Preview
2004 NBA PREVIEWby Leigh Douglas If there was one single theme to this off-season for the NBA it was 'change' not only was there quite a bit of significant player movement, but the league itself underwent a makeover of sorts, finally expanding to a 30th franchise, and realigning to six divisions of five teams each. Of course the biggest headlines this off-season surrounded the ongoing saga that has become the Los Angeles Lakers. Basically the Lakers surrendered to Kobe, and he got all that he asked for - namely the exit of Shaq, and Phil Jackson. Shadowed by the Shaq move to Miami was what could end up being an even bigger deal with Tracy Mcgrady going from Orlando to Houston for Steve Francis and...

Toronto is the capital city of Ontario and Ottawa the capital city of Canada is situated in Ontario too. As the name signifies the word Ontario means beautiful lake or beautiful aqua.

On the North Ontario is enclosed by Hudson Bay and James Bay, on the East by Quebec, on the West by Manitoba and on the South by...
The Remarkable Antioxidant Power of Cranberries...
With the holiday season just around the corner, cranberries will start to make their yearly appearance in Thanksgiving and other seasonal meals. Their tangy flavor and bright red color make them a favorite this time of year (it's also when they're most plentiful, as their peak season runs from October to December). But flavor and color aside, there's another reason to enjoy cranberries (and even make them part of your diet year-round)--they're incredibly nutritious and great for your health. Cranberries and Your Heart Studies have found that cranberries reduce the risk of heart disease. Most recently, a study...

The hotel was packed like I haven't seen it since 1999.On the first floor of the Hilton on 6th Avenue there is a bar with a huge seating area of tables and curved couches. It doesn't open until 5-6 in the evening, during the day people use it as a place to sit while they are waiting for something or just killing time. There are always 2-3 tables in use.During Ad:Tech every seat was taken - attendees comparing notes and connecting with their contemporaries to discuss ideas they'd just picked up in one session or another or from a vendor in the exhibit hall.

The Art of Asking Good Questions
"What do we hate most about salespeople?".....they simply, never stop talking. How many salespeople have come into your office, sat down and proceeded to tell you every benefit about what they are selling, without ever knowing what you need. Typically, they don't ask the questions, but rather tell you what they want you to know. So, the result is, a frustrated prospect who feels as if their needs have not been met. Difficult as it may seem, this very common problem can be addressed rather simply by just asking questions and listening effectively. By doing these two simple tasks, the prospect will tell you what they are looking for and more than likely, the sales rep will close the sale.First, a...
MLB World Series Tickets - MLB World Series
During the last century, the MLB world Series was woven in fabric of the evolution of the culture of remote America beyond only one tournament of baseball.

New Pier Regulation Proposed in Wisconsin...
Changes to regulations regarding the specifications of piers in Wisconsin have been proposed by the Department of Natural Resources, but legislation has been introduced by a pair of lawmakers interested in keeping current recreational landowners with waterfront docks clear of scrutiny.Rep. John Gard (R-Peshtigo) and Rep. Scott Gunderson (R-Waterford) have introduced legislation to grandfather existing docks in order to limit liability and compliance to newly constructed docks and piers. Regardless of outcome, only a fraction of current piers and docks will be affected by the new DNR rules. In fact, the DNR initially estimated that 20 percent of 500,000 piers would not be in compliance with the new...
Financial advisors often find themselves consulting to successful entrepreneurs about how to continue to grow their assets after the business has been sold or taken over through a carefully planned succession strategy. But developing a small business (defined here as having less than $50 million in annual revenues) is not so simple.After the initial burst of business success and survival in the first three years, many small businesses encounter struggles that can leave them feeling isolated. What can assist a 30-year old consulting firm whose personal presence and paper products face a changing world of electronic presence and high travel costs by helping them with development of electronic products...

There are certain props in entertainment that you never forget. They become so much of your life and your heart that the mere memory of them calls up visions, feelings and scenes to play over and over in your head. Those are the movie props that transcend just the need to collect and be put in someone's vault at the MGM studios, but are important enough that everyone should know where they are. These items aren't just part of a picture; they are part of our common heritage, our culture and our joy. But, where are they? There's No Place Like Home Ask anyone who saw the 1939 version of the Wizard of Oz what is the most vivid image they remember and they will tell you one of two things: The witch...

Canton, Ohio QQ: Today, Canton is recognized as the cradle of modern professional football.

Are you considering getting your college degree online? But not sure how you can tell if the college offering the degree is legitimate?Online courses and online degree programs continue to grow in popularity. But just because they are popular, and just because the name of the college sounds good, does not necessarily make them legitimate.On the other hand, just because you have not heard of a college does not mean it is not completely legitimate.The Internet has transformed the way students learn, and the way you can get a degree. You can earn a degree from virtually any college in America without ever stepping foot on campus. But that means you need to make sure the time, effort, and money you put...
It is party time in the United States with the Cinco de Mayo fiestas around the corner. So raise your tequila glass and rock out Mexican style to celebrate the holiday that commemorates Mexico's victory over the French. Cinco de Mayo is one of the most celebrated Mexican national holidays in the United States, where many U.S. businesses and restaurants are decorated in green, white and red, the colors of Mexico's flag, to observe this important day in traditional Mexican fanfare. Although Cinco de Mayo celebrates the determination of Mexicans to remain free from foreign control, it is not Mexico's Independence Day. HISTORY Following the devastating loss of the Mexican-American War in 1848, Mexico...
Okay, there are just way too many running backs declaring for the NFL Draft.What, are classes at the nation's largest universities getting harder or something? No, no one's surprised that Reggie Bush declared early; he's probably going to be the first overall pick. Nor can I quibble with Vince Young (kind of an RB in QB's clothing, if you know what I mean), after his amazing Rose Bowl performance. I have to take some umbrage at LenDale White's decision to go. Bush's backfield mate could've had the Southern Cal spotlight all to himself with Reggie out of the picture, and, barring injury, would almost certainly have gone higher in '07 than in '06.Now comes the cavalcade of huh?

Family History of the Village of Wallern (Volary)
I am writing this article for the benefit of any families in the USA, who may have their roots in the village of Wallern,Bohemia. While spending time in Germany I came across the curious book, Tirol in Bohemerwald, authored by Bruno Sitter. The book is no longer in print, and only a few copies are known to exist. Mr. Sitter describes how in the 1300's an entire village of Tirolean Germans were transplanted in the wilds of the Bohemian forest. For over 600 hundred years these Alpine peoples lived in this corner of Bohemia. However with the end of WWII, they were forced to leave by the Communist Government,because they were still too ethnically German.The village was known and recognized as highly...
Alternatives In Mental Health
"Health" and "illness" are contrasting terms. They can be used in physical or in mental context. We know that physical exercise done on a regular basis keeps us healthy. Mental exercise also keeps us mentally healthy. Just like after doing physical exercise we need rest, after mental exercise the mind also needs rest. But we hear the term "physical rest" frequently. The term "mental rest" is rarely used. No doubt then that as mental activities have increased with industrialisation, stress has increased. This stress results from our inability to allow our mind to become inactive or relaxed for even a short time.Some people believe that our brain becomes inactive when we sleep. If that were...
Discounted Summer Holidays: Do They Exist?
So discounted holiday accommodation does exist, it is not, as some travel agents make only a myth, all you have to do is the research. Then again there are those that think that if its cheap it must be low-quality, this referring to the destination, the accommodation or both.. If you are interested in taking a holiday (summer or otherwise) and want to do it on the cheap, you are encouraged not to believe this popular myth. So to find these discounted holidays, all you have to do is a little bit of research, the internet these days being far the easiest and fastest (gone are the days when you had to sit in front of Teletext waiting for the ads to rotate). Once you start looking, you’ll soon...

With China becoming the 6th largest economy in 2004 and likely to rank 4th in 2005, this is likely to fuel further anxieties over the impact of China`s rising economic might for the world economic leaders. But for company executives and aspiring young entrepreneurs, it has become imperative to understand China so as to explore the increasing business opportunities in China.One of the usual route for this is to study and build social networks at the leading Chinese universities.

5 Countery Scandinavian Cruise Journal
I've cruised dozens of ships on various lines and in my opinion this is as good as it gets on a mega-liner of 2200+ passengers with 920 crew. Costa's Atlantica was a floating palace of art deco furnishings, marble inlaid floors and millions of dollars invested in original works of art. It exceeded my expectations. Also I normally loose weight on cruises shunning the ships artificial fare. This time I over indulged on varied menus of fresh food. I ate enough prosciutto and ice cream to last a decade. The Italian accented cuisine was prepared by Euro-chefs and culinary graduates of the world famous Chaine des Rotisseurs. I was part of an awesome group of 60 singles who blended harmoniously.

Although I love the city the summer always makes me itch to get out into the country. So I called up my friend Karel with whom I had helped organize a conference many years ago and asked him if he would mind getting together in his neck of the woods near Burlington for a country driving tour of the Niagara Escarpment. Since we had not seen each other for a couple of years it was a great opportunity to catch up and enjoy a beautiful drive at the same time. So we met this morning on a parking lot just off Guelph Line in the north end of Burlington. I parked my car and off we drove in Karel's convertible. We drove north into the green countryside and up a slope to get to our first destination: a nature...

How Long Will My Digital Prints Last?
The question in the title of this article would be much easier to answer if you took the word "digital" out of it. Color photographic printing has been relatively unchanged since its debut, and you can expect those prints to last up to 100 years if stored properly. [And by properly, I mean away from light in a consistently cool environment without extreme highs or lows in humidity levels.]But anyone who hasn't been living in a cave the last five years knows that digital photography is rapidly taking over traditional film processes. It's time to ask some tough questions about what that means for the lifespan of your treasured family photographs.Manufacturer's claims. You're shopping in...
Breathe!
Breathing is the key ingredient in physical, emotional and mental health. It is a grossly underestimated source of life giving, healing and purifying energy. When we breathe, we take in more than just physical substances. An interaction takes place between our inner selves and the surrounding reality. It is essential, therefore, both for physical and psychological well-being that our breathing is optimal. It unifies and integrates the body, mind and spirit.The average person breathes between 18,000 and 20,000 breaths per day, averaging 5,000 gallons of air. 70% of the body's toxins are eliminated during the breathing process with only a small percentage eliminated through perspiration, defecation...

In today's competitive environment, factories and other production facilities need to operate around the clock in order to maximize the use of the company's resources. But heavy usage means increased damage to the plant floor since even the hardest cement deteriorates under constant friction. With floor damage comes difficulty in cleaning, maintaining rolling equipment, and presenting a positive corporate image. Shutting down the plant would be too costly to the business operations, so the damage must be repaired on the fly--and it must last. This is where a new breed of wear-resistant and easy-to-use epoxy patches and laminating products can save the day.Even more difficult than maintaining clean...

Many archery deer hunters today have set higher personal standards as far as hunting trophy bucks. They seem to be putting more demands on themselves simply to locate a record buck and to harvest it, only to have it put into the book of records. There is one problem with this theory, record bucks are far and few between. Harvesting a record white-tail buck while bowhunting is like winning the lottery, rare, but it can happen and does happen every year.In the top ten big buck states, Michigan ranks number nine, while Wisconsin is at the number one position. The state of Wisconsin averages about 893,000 hunters each year, while Michigan will average around 1,125,000 white-tail deer hunters per...

"Lawsuits primarily benefit the attorneys and nobody else." - Bryce's LawINTRODUCTIONThe protection of intellectual property should be a significant concern to all Information Technology organizations. Without protection, commercial hardware/software vendors would quickly evaporate as others would inevitably steal their designs and programs. Corporate developers would also suffer if their ideas, inventions, and programs were misappropriated thereby causing them to lose their competitive advantage. In fact, our corporate landscape and standard of living would be radically different if we had no such protection. Fortunately, the framers of the U.S. Constitution were wise enough to implement...
