Choosing "festivals and events" as one of the sub-sections -- the others are "cityscapes and nature," "cuisine and nightlife," "sports, recreation and river life," "four seasons" and "heritage, history and architecture" -- was a no-brainer, [Janice Tober] says. Wisconsin is big on fests fêting food. There's Shebygan's Bratwurst Days, Seymour's Burger Fest and Little Chute's Great Wisconsin Cheese Festival. But one of the strangest sights you'll ever see -- or smell -- is Beef-a-rama's Parade of Beef. After barbecuing an entire side of beef, contestants march down the town's main drag with their just-cooked meat in tow. After the procession -- which has taken as long as two hours -- the roasts are carved up and sold to the public as sandwiches. In 2006, a Los Angeles woman sued Kraft Fo...

From the corps of young navy cadets looking to do a little community service, to older citizens who love to keep their city clean and beautiful, cleanup organizers were particularly happy with this year's turnout.

Still, it's [Marty Turco] who'll ultimately wear the goat horns in Dallas. It's always easier to blame the goaltender. It should be noted that Wings leading scorer Pavel Datsyuk, although injured in the three weeks proceeding the playoffs, hasn't scored in his last 27 playoff games. And veteran Brendan Shanahan, who potted 40 during the regular season, was held to just one goal in six games by the faster, younger Oilers. Don't forget that Carolina's Cam Ward, summoned to replace a struggling Martin Gerber, was monumental in the series.

Now, I'm not saying (yes I am) [Colleen Walsh] wasn't suffering from menopausal exhaustion when she was booted off the plane. I'm just saying I wish I'd thought of it first. Well, then I'm in jail in Toronto and won't I be embarrassed I made fun of Colleen Walsh? Actually, I won't. For all the women who boldly flap their arms in public to cool down and all the women who think they'll never get another good night's sleep and all the women who can't understand why 10 pounds of fat has glued itself to random parts of their body, I'm taking a stand.

According to her affidavit, [Baillie] has been on the Goldeyes' payroll since around the time she and [Sam Katz] married in 1998, earning between $60,000 and $65,000 a year as of last spring, according to Sam. That doesn't allow for the one-third of his civic salary that isn't taxable. When that's calculated, Katz's salary as mayor of Winnipeg jumps to more than $130,000. As I understand it, until such time as the Goldeyes can have a financially viable season and can pay the interest on the Crocus debentures, it is not required to pay any interest to Crocus, or at this stage to its receiver Deloitte and Touche Inc.,'' Sam said in his affidavit. "The Goldeyes simply cannot afford to do this at this time, nor to my knowledge do the shareholders concur that Crocus can be paid to the excl...

I'm going to have to close the door or the house will freeze," is what [Pat] thought. But, being a person of the male gender, he was unwilling to take off his big snowy boots, go in the front door, walk all the way through the house, open the door at the back of the garage, press the little button to close the overhead door, then walk all the way through the house again just to get back outside and resume shovelling. As female readers will already know, Pat's wife had a logical explanation. "Because," she sniffed, making a Frowny Face, "I had my mitts on and I would have had to take one off to press the button! "If you hadn't broken the snowblower, you wouldn't have been shovelling when I left," his wife noted. "You would have been in the house already. So I would have closed the do...
