West BloomfieldFebruary 05, 2014
With ice and snow, Winterfest is a go!
By Cari DeLamielleure-Scott
C & G Staff Writer
West Bloomfield residents participate in a sled race during the 2011 Winterfest family event.
WEST BLOOMFIELD — Braving the winter chill, the West Bloomfield Parks and Recreation Commission will throw its annual Winterfest at Marshbank Park 1-4 p.m. Feb. 8.
The last Winterfest event took place in 2011, and due to a lack of snow, Winterfest was canceled in 2012 and 2013. The commission estimated that about 1,200 patrons attended the 2011 Winterfest.
To avoid canceling this year's Winterfest, the Parks and Recreation Commission has reformatted the event to allow Winterfest to run with or without snow, provided temperatures are below freezing.
"We all know how unpredictable Michigan winters can be. We have put some plans in place to alter the event, if needed," Ted Davis, recreation superintendent for the West Bloomfield Parks and Recreation Commission, said in a press release. "This event is a great opportunity to get outdoors with the whole family and enjoy some free winter fun in our beautiful Marshbank Park."
West Bloomfield residents are encouraged to venture into the snow and enjoy winter-themed activities. A day's worth of events will be packed into three hours, including ice sculpture demonstrations, snowshoeing, family cardboard sled races, horse-drawn wagon rides, timed sled sprints, a family snowman building contest, sled dogs and meet-and-greets with reindeer.
The winter-themed family event also entails s'more roasting and frozen games, including frozen bowling, a frozen pie-eating contest and a mitten egg toss.
Some activities, like the snowman building and sled races, cannot be altered, according to Meagan Kurnat, public information coordinator for the Parks and Recreation Commission, but if the snow melts, attendees will still hear talks about dog sleds and meet the reindeer. Because the horse-drawn sled is on runners, Kurnat said she believes wheels can be put on the sled to run the ride on pavement.
As for the frozen games, the Parks and Recreation Commission will create ice the night before the event, if necessary.
Clinton Rich, an ice carving instructor at Oakland Community College, will be displaying an ice piggy bank and an ice throne that participants will be able to sit on and be photographed in. Rich will also demonstrate carving an ice polar bear from start to finish.
Using power tools, the ice polar bear, which is about 600 pounds of ice, will take him three hours to carve, Rich said.
"If the temperature is in the teens or 20s, I'll bring a tent for the sun. But if it's single digits, I won't have to worry about the sun," Rich said. "The sun is brutal, but when it's cold enough, it doesn't crack it (the ice) from the inside like usual."
Rich has been carving ice for eight years and competed in 2006-07 as a student at OCC. He said he now teaches the program during the "cold time of the year."
Unless the weather is unsafe, Winterfest will go on as planned. Though the Parks and Recreation Commission has not provided a specific degree that would be "too cold," Davis said, "we will not sacrifice the safety of our participants under any circumstances."
The Parks and Recreation Commission is still looking for volunteers for Winterfest. They are coordinating two- and four-hour shifts. To become a volunteer, contact Lauren Azoury, volunteer coordinator, at (248) 451-1917.

Chief Pharmacist's Mate Fred H. McGuire, USN, (1890-1958)
Fred Henry McGuire was born on 7 November 1890 in Gordonville, Missouri. He enlisted from that same state in the U.S. Navy and became rated as a Hospital Apprentice. On 24 September 1911, he served in a shore party from the gunboat USS Pampanga ordered to capture the Moros outlaws near the Mundang village on Basilan, Philippine Islands. Suddenly, the outlaws attacked by surprise. McGuire fired back at the enemy, and when his ammunition was depleted, he used his rifle as a weapon. Subsquently wounded in the battle, he immediately helped his dying leader and other wounded crewmembers until help arrived. For his action on this occasion, he was awarded the Medal of Honor.
In November 1939, McGuire retired from the Navy. During World War II, he was recalled to active duty and served in the Hospital Corps Division at Bureau of Medicine, Washington, D.C. In October 1945, he was again placed on the retired list. Fred H. McGuire died on 4 February 1958 and is buried at Springfield National Cemetery, Springfield, Missouri.

Although we've known for some time that The Elder Scrolls Online player housing will not feature at launch, it hasn't stopped some of us discussing the importance of this iconic feature from throughout The Elder Scrolls franchise.
It's clear from the currently announced features that Bethesda and Zenimax Online are aiming mainly towards the multiplayer experience, which is to be expected of an MMO game. Afterall, the entire foundations of the MMO game have been constructed based on the experience of multiple players.
Sadly however, the core appealing aspects of The Elder Scrolls Online player housing system is quite the opposite, being mainly a feature to compliment the experience of the solo player. Although many MMO games of today implement group, guild and alliance housing, the most popular player housing systems offer extensive variety and customization for the single player. Some of my most memorable experiences in The Elder Scrolls franchise have involved stamping my own mark of history on the world of Tamriel. The freedom of choice, the depth of customization and the touch of personality are all elements that make the housing in Elder Scrolls one of its most defining features.
One of my first activities in every Elder Scrolls game is to find a location that I want to make my own. Occasionally I find a nice abandoned property in a town but more often than not I search the wilds for my own little shack. Sadly it's usually already inhabited but that's quickly solved following a swift blow from my weapon of choice. Okay, so it's not the most honorable way of obtaining a property, but it works. I then take to decorating my new home with a selection of helmets, enchanted armor, Daedric Artifacts, and other rare treasures that I've discovered on my journey's through Tamriel.
When I analyze each step of my journey to obtaining my own property, I'm disheartened at how many of these features would not work in an MMO game. Even the largest of sandbox MMO games struggle to offer complete freedom when constructing your own home and The Elder Scrolls Online is far from a sandbox.
You've then got to deal with the potential problems of NPC's. As far as I know there isn't a single MMO game that allows for players to permanently kill off actual characters in the game. I'm not just talking about monsters and such, I'm talking about living characters that have a purpose and interact with the game world.
Then there's the problem of items and placing them within the home. The Elder Scrolls games struggle with large amounts of items and that's just from a single player. If 10,000 players filled a shard with hundreds of physics based items filling their houses, I'd imagine the core servers would explode.
We all love the ideas of The Elder Scrolls Online player housing feature, but will the restrictions of today's MMO games leave enough room for Zenimax Online to deliver the experience so many Elder Scrolls fans crave? Only time will tell but this is one player that's not expecting all that much.

text: 5 Another SuccessDannyboidavis | 14/11/2008 | See all Dannyboidavis's reviews (20)Top 100 Electronics Reviewer Well lets start this review by explaining my situation, before pre ordering this game i did alot of background research and looking at other reviews from people who had the beta keys. Many people said well its so much like call of duty 4 and its rubbish because this that and the other.Well i said SCREW THOSE COMMENTS IM GOING TO TRY IT MYSELF.Anyway i pre ordered the game and it was here day before release and i was playing it for a good 4 hours as i only got in from work at 6 : [First off the starting scene is very very good and you can tell straight away that activision had something to do with it, Graphically the game is very very high and like most games out there you will see this is one of few great graphics games out there.Next i noticed the amount of attention to detail the game had such as the little parts of ash on ciggerettes and cigars etcThe menus are well presented and look better with a quicker response time.Campaign mode is also very very good, if any of you have seen the film behind enemy line and everyone knows how good that was you will notice that when you play as the russians there is an extract there from the film that you play, this is also a very similar style level to "All Ghilllied Up"Sounds are very good and the music sounds like something from "We Were Soliders"Overall this game is a 5 star for me as its has kept its online ethos.The game engine that was used in call of duty 4 has been passed forward to call of duty world at war. Looking at the back of the box Treyarch wasnt the only company who made it. Activision also were one of the other companies who played a large part in the development of this game.Although i much prefer using the newer edition guns like in Call Of Duty 4 i still like the ones in call of duty 5.Flamethrowers are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!Shadowing and environmental details are pin sharp and overall very impressive.Many people still say i will wait for cod 6 and leave this behind.YOU WILL BE WASTING YOUR TIME.If your like me and many im sure are you have now played call of duty 4 for a year now, you know every camp spot, spray point, best perk, gun and claymore position. TRY SOMETHING NEW this is well worth the buy.I enjoy this so much already and i havent had it more than two days.Thank you Play and thank you Treyarch / Activision.Hope this review helped

Discussion in 'PatsFans.com - Patriots Fan Forum' started by patsfan55, Mar 3, 2007.
does anyone have the official terms of the Adalius deal?
how bout the others?
No term yet, but there have been rumblings that the SB will be between 15-20 million. I've also heard reports the annual average to be 7.75 million, while I think ESPN is reporting 10 million per over six years.
Don't read too much into the numbers however, if you look at Clements 8 year 80 million deal, when you break it down, it is first heavily backloaded, and secondly, it is structured in a 6 year 40+ million deal (averaging some 7+ million per).
I put myself on record here as not giving a flying frack what the terms of the deal are. I just can't wait to see the guy in a Pats uniform. :woohoo:

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT: Season 4 Review
by Matt Goldberg Posted 1 year, 206 days ago
Was it six years of anticipation for a fourth season of Arrested Development or was it desire? If it was the former, we saw possibilities beyond the show's ending. If it was the latter, we simply didn't want the show to end, and we would accept it any form. "Maybe a movie," Ron Howard suggests at the close of the third season when Maeby (Alia Shawkat) pitches her family's story as a TV series. Now the show has returned for a fourth season that is radically different from anything we've seen on television (perhaps the closest cousin being the time-travel season on Lost). What begins as a brilliant new approach to storytelling on television becomes a season that demands a chart to follow the crisscrossing plotlines that begin to get in the way of enjoying the show's humor. Thankfully, despite the heavy weight of the show's ambition, Arrested Development is as funny and clever as past seasons. But this time, it may be too clever for its own good.

Water main break closes 18th Street between Curtis and Arapahoe streets
DENVER - Part of 18th Street is being re-paved Wednesday night after a water main break.
Denver Water said a 12-inch line broke around 4 a.m., flooding 18th Street at Curtis Street.
During repairs, 18th Street is closed between Curtis and Arapahoe streets.
Denver Water said it initially expected the work to be finished by 3 p.m. on Wednesday with all lanes reopened before the afternoon rush hour, but at noon, Denver Water said the work would likely take until 4 p.m.
Officials said the break should not affect water service in the area.

Science (Bachelor)
College of Science
what our students say
Studying Science (Undenominated)
Course overview
The Bachelor of Science degree is a programme which allows you to take a variety of subjects in the general scientific field before deciding to specialise in one scientific area for your four-year honours degree. It is the ideal choice for students who want to study Science, but are not yet ready to narrow their options to a specific topic. You can take subjects from the Physical Sciences, for example, and combine them with subjects from the Biological Sciences, the Mathematical Sciences, or the Earth and Ocean Sciences. Opportunities exist to choose from the wide range of subjects offered in the college. Please note, however, that quotas apply to second year subjects in the BSc Science programme.
The Bachelor of Science will give you a solid foundation in general Science subjects during your first three years of study. These include subjects you may already have studied, like Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Mathematics, but also include Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Biochemistry, Botany and Plant Science, Microbiology, Zoology, Pharmacology and the Earth and Ocean Sciences. With such a diverse range of scientific topics, students often find they need time to discover which specialism is for them.
As a Science graduate with critical thinking skills, your training will always stand to you, both in your professional career and in the personal interests you develop over your life. Research and development in industry and public sector bodies will continue to be a critical part of the development of knowledge economies. No matter what subject you decide to specialise in, there will be an R&D aspect to it in industry, academia or public sector bodies. In Ireland, industry leaders have repeatedly pointed to the need for more Science graduates to retain and build on the economy's competitiveness. In addition, with climate change and ongoing food and energy resource challenges to sustainable development, the requirement for scientific solutions to the problems mankind faces is as great as ever.

Established in 1993, The Learning Partnership is a national charitable organization dedicated to championing a strong public education system in Canada through innovative programs, credible research, policy initiatives, executive leadership and public engagement. Since its inception, more than 4.5 million students and teachers have participated in one or more of The Learning Partnership's programs, including Take Our Kids to Work™, Welcome to Kindergarten™, Change Your Future and Entrepreneurial Adventure.
Across the country, labour unrest in the educational sector is generating negative press and causing many people to question the value of public education. In my opinion, these are two separate issues. Labour disputes must not distract us from what is vitally important for Canada and Canadians: that investing in a strong public education system today will result in big payoffs in the future.
By focusing on education we develop a workforce armed with 21st century skills and abilities that allow Canada to compete successfully in an increasingly knowledge-based and rapidly changing global marketplace. We produce an educated population that places fewer demands on our health care system. Most importantly, we create an informed society that is fair and equitable, one that embraces diversity and is engaged in the democratic process.
If this is the Canada we want to see in 20, 30 or 40 years, then our investment in programs that support early learning, encourage at-risk youth to stay in school and provide supports for students in physical, emotional or financial need must be protected.
Canada already has an enviable reputation. Investing in public education means an even brighter future for our economy, our services, our citizens and our presence on the world stage.

"Great recipe, turned out well"
"I thought the taste and texture were great, sweeter than what I am used to though ( I am an Aussie living in the US), I will only add 2 teaspoons next time, and I needed more milk, although I did check online and I think British pints are different to American ones?"
"I topped this with a berry sauce - Jam I'd added water and heated to make it runny, and baked that on top for the last 5minutes, it was very popular. This was a delicious recipe."

Take Two for October 21, 2013
What is the status of the House's immigration reform effort?
Alex Wong/Getty Images
U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) speaks as (L-R) Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), and Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) listen during a news conference on immigration reform April 18, 2013 on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. The senators discussed the "Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act".
Today, Washington is back to work for the first full week since the government shutdown.
Now that there's at least a temporary solution to the budget and debt crises, immigration reform advocates are pushing hard for a vote on immigration reform this year.
Prior to the government shutdown, the Senate passed legislation to overhaul border security, require employer verification of workers' status and create a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
House Republicans decided to tackle smaller pieces of immigration legislation, and the House's so-called "Gang of Eight" congresspeople working on legislation has dwindled to just five members.
Joining us now for more on this is House member Mark Takano, a Democrat from Riverside, and for the view from the other side of the aisle, we're joined by Republican Congressman Jeff Denham of California's Central Valley.

- Proposed National Total Worker Health Agenda—Comment by December 22 on priorities for research and practice!
- Keynote from Dr. John Howard—1st International Symposium on Total Worker Health™
- New Institute of Medicine Report—Promising and Best Practices in Total Worker Health
What is Total Worker HealthTM?
Total Worker Health™ is a strategy integrating occupational safety and health protection with health promotion to prevent worker injury and illness and to advance health and well-being.
Today, emerging evidence recognizes that both work-related factors and health factors beyond the workplace jointly contribute to many safety and health problems that confront today's workers and their families. Traditionally, workplace safety and health programs have been compartmentalized. Health protection programs have focused squarely on safety, reducing worker exposures to risk factors arising in the work environment itself. And most workplace health promotion programs have focused exclusively on lifestyle factors off-the-job that place workers at risk. A growing body of science supports the effectiveness of combining these efforts through workplace interventions that integrate health protection and health promotion programs.

Question: So if the strike continues too long, which shows will be screwed the most? Will they cancel 30 Rock, saying it never built an audience? What about some of the new shows this season? Will networks use the strike as an excuse to cancel "bubble" shows like Cane and Life? Basically what I'm asking is: If the strike goes on too long, will the networks just call this season a wash and start over in the fall?
Answer: I only wish I had a crystal ball to address these larger questions (fearing the actual answers, maybe it's just as well that I don't), but again, I don't think it's likely that NBC will use the strike as an excuse to cancel 30 Rock, which the network has stood behind despite its lousy ratings on Thursday. The situation seems more dire for new-season shows that were on the brink of cancellation even before the strike kicked in. It's entirely too early to know if the back half of the season is doomed. I certainly hope not, but there's not a great deal of optimism comin ...
