Miami is the county seat of Miami-Dade County, the most populous county in Florida. With an estimated population of 409,719 in 2007,[1] Miami is the largest city within the Miami metropolitan area, which is the seventh-largest metro area in the United States with over 5.4 million residents.[4] The Miami Urbanized Area (as defined by the Census Bureau) was the fifth most populous urbanized area in the U.S. in the 2000 census with a population of 4,919,036.[5] The United Nations estimated that in 2007, Miami had become the fourth largest urbanized area in the United States, behind New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago.[6] Miami is recognized as a global city because of its importance in finance, commerce, media, entertainment, arts and international trade.[7][8] The city is home to many company headquarters, banks, and television studios. It is an international center for popular entertainment in television, music, fashion, film, and the performing arts. The city's Port of Miami is known for accommodating the largest volume of cruise ships in the world and is home to many cruise line headquarters. Miami is also home to the largest concentration of international banks in the United States. Since 2001, Miami has been undergoing a large building boom with more than 50 skyscrapers rising over 400 feet (122 m) built or currently under construction in the city. Miami's skyline ranks third in the U.S., behind New York City and Chicago, and 18th in the world according to the Almanac of Architecture and Design.[9] Approximately 400 men voted for Miami's incorporation in 1896 in the building to the left. Flagler Street on August 15, 1945, 20 minutes after the announcement of Japan's surrender at the end of World War II. The Miami area was first inhabited for more than one thousand years by the Tequesta Indians, but was later claimed for Spain in 1566 by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés. A Spanish mission was constructed one year later in 1567. In 1836, Fort Dallas was built, and the Miami area subsequently became a site of fighting during the Second Seminole War. Miami holds the distinction of being the only major city in the United States founded by a woman, Julia 2 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Miami The Collins Bridge, built in 1913, was the first bridge to connect Miami to Miami Beach. Tuttle, who was a local citrus grower and a wealthy Cleveland native.[13] The Miami area was better known as "Biscayne Bay Country" in the early years of its growth. Some published reports described the area as a promising wilderness.[14] The area was also characterized as "one of the finest building sites in Florida."[15] The Great Freeze of 1894-1895 hastened Miami's growth, as the crops of the Miami area were the only ones in Florida that survived. Julia Tuttle subsequently convinced Henry Flagler, a railroad tycoon, to expand his Florida East Coast Railroad to the region. Miami was officially incorporated as a city on July 28, 1896 with a population of just over 300.[16] Miami prospered during the 1920s with an increase in population and infrastructure but weakened after the collapse of the Florida land boom of the 1920s, the 1926 Miami Hurricane and the Great Depression in the 1930s. When World War II began, Miami, well-situated due to its location on the southern coast of Florida, played an important role in the battle against German submarines. The war helped to expand Miami's population; by 1940, 172,172 people lived in the city. After Fidel Castro rose to power in 1959, many Cubans sought refuge in Miami, further increasing the population. In the 1980s and 1990s, various crises struck South Florida, among them the Arthur McDuffie beating and the subsequent riot, drug wars, Hurricane Andrew, and the Elián González uproar. Nevertheless, in the latter half of the 20th century, Miami became a major international, financial, and cultural center. Miami and its metropolitan area grew from just over one thousand residents to nearly five and a half million residents in just 110 years (1896-2006). The city's nickname, The Magic City, comes from this rapid growth. Winter visitors remarked that the city grew so much from one year to the next that it was like magic.[17] Miami River metro area of at least 2.5 million people. The city proper is home to less than 1 in 13 residents of South Florida. Additionally, 52% of Miami-Dade County's population doesn't live in any incorporated city. Miami is the only major city in the United States bordered by two national parks, Everglades National Park on the west, and Biscayne National Park on the east. Miami and its suburbs are located on a broad plain between the Florida Everglades to the west and Biscayne Bay to the east that also extends from Florida Bay north to Lake Okeechobee. The elevation of the area never rises above 40 ft (12 m)[18] and averages at around 6 ft (2 m)[19] above mean sea level in most neighborhoods, especially near the coast. The highest undulations are found along the coastal Miami Rock Ridge, whose substrate underlies most of the eastern Miami metropolitan region. The main portion of the city lies on the shores of Biscayne Bay which contains several hundred natural and artificially created barrier islands, the largest of which contains Miami Beach and South Beach. The Gulf Stream, a warm ocean current, runs northward just 15 miles (24.1 km) off the coast, allowing the city's climate to stay warm and mild all year. Geology The surface bedrock under the Miami area is called Miami oolite or Miami limestone. This bedrock is covered by a thin layer of soil, and is no more than 50 feet (15 m) thick. Miami limestone formed as the result of the drastic changes in sea level associated with recent glaciations or ice ages. Beginning some 130,000 years ago the Sangamonian Stage raised sea levels to approximately 25 feet (7.5 m.) above the current level. All of southern Florida was covered by a shallow sea. Several parallel lines of reef formed along the edge of the submerged Florida plateau, stretching from the present Miami area to what is now the Dry Tortugas. The area behind this reef line was in effect a large lagoon, and the Miami limestone formed throughout the area from the Geography At only 35.68 square miles (92 km2) of land area, Miami has the smallest land area of any major U.S. city with a 3 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Miami southern portion of the U.S. state of Florida. This causes occasional problems with local wildlife such as alligators venturing into Miami communities and major highways. In terms of land area, Miami is one of the smallest major cities in the United States. According to the US Census Bureau, the city encompasses a total area of 55.27 mi² (143.15 km²). Of that area, 35.67 mi² (92.68 km²) is land and 19.59 mi² (50.73 km²) is water. That means Miami comprises over 400,000 people in a mere 35 square miles (91 km2), making it one of the most densely populated cities in the United States, along with New York City, San Francisco, and Chicago among others. Miami is located at 25°47′16″N 80°13′27″W / 25.78778°N 80.22417°W / 25.78778; -80.22417.[22] An aerial view of Miami in 2008. Climate Typical summer afternoon shower rolling in from the Everglades. Miami has a true tropical climate, specifically tropical monsoon (Köppen climate classification Am),[23] with hot & humid summers and warm & mostly dry winters. The city does experience cold fronts from late October through March. However, the average monthly temperature for any month has never been recorded as being under 64.4 °F (January averages 67 °F).[24] Most of the year is warm and humid, and the summers are almost identical to the climate of the Caribbean tropics. In addition, the city gets most of its rain in the summer (wet season) and is mostly dry and mild in winter (dry season). The wet season lasts from May to October, when it gives way to the dry season, which features mild temperatures with some invasions of cool air, which is when the little winter rainfall occurs — with the passing of a front. The hurricane season largely coincides with the wet season. In addition to its sea-level elevation, coastal location and position just above the Tropic of Cancer, the area owes its warm, humid climate to the Gulf Stream, which moderates climate year-round. A typical summer day does not have temperatures below 75 °F (24 °C). Temperatures in the high 80s to low 90s (30-35 °C) accompanied by high humidity are often relieved by afternoon thunderstorms or a sea breeze that develops off the Atlantic View from one of the high points in Miami, west of downtown. The western parts of the city have points as high as 20 feet (6.1 m) above sea level.[20] deposition of oolites and the shells of bryozoans. Starting about 100,000 years ago the Wisconsin glaciation began lowering sea levels, exposing the floor of the lagoon. By 15,000 years ago, the sea level had dropped to 300 to 350 feet (110 m) below the contemporary level. The sea level rose quickly after that, stabilizing at the current level about 4000 years ago, leaving the mainland of South Florida just above sea level. Beneath the plain lies the Biscayne Aquifer,[21] a natural underground source of fresh water that extends from southern Palm Beach County to Florida Bay, with its highest point peaking around the cities of Miami Springs and Hialeah. Most of the South Florida metropolitan area obtains its drinking water from this aquifer. As a result of the aquifer, it is not possible to dig more than 15 to 20ft (4.57 to 6.1 m) beneath the city without hitting water, which impedes underground construction. For this reason there is no subway system in Miami. Most of the western fringes of the city extend into the Everglades, a subtropical marshland located in the 4 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Miami end of September.[29] Due to its location between two major bodies of water known for tropical activity, Miami is also statistically the most likely major city in the world to be struck by a hurricane, trailed closely by Nassau, Bahamas, and Havana, Cuba. Despite this, the city has been fortunate in not having a direct hit by a hurricane since Hurricane Cleo in 1964.[30] However, many other hurricanes have affected the city, including Betsy in 1965, Andrew in 1992, Irene in 1999, and Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma in 2005. In addition, a tropical depression in October 2000 passed over the city, causing record rainfall and flooding. Locally, the storm is credited as the No Name Storm of 2000, though the depression went on to become Tropical Storm Leslie upon entering the Atlantic Ocean. Miami has been identified as one of three cities in the United States most vulnerable to hurricanes, mainly due to its location and it being surrounded by ocean and low-lying coastal plains, the other two cities being New Orleans and New York City.[31] Surrounding areas A typical winter day in Miami. Ocean, which then allow lower temperatures, although conditions still remain very muggy. During winter, humidity is significantly lower, allowing for cooler weather to develop. Average minimum temperatures during that time are around 60 °F (15 °C), rarely dipping below 40 °F (4 °C), and the equivalent maxima usually range between 70 and 77 °F (19-24 °C). Miami has never recorded a triple-digit temperature; the highest temperature recorded was 98 °F (37 °C).[25] The coldest temperature ever recorded in the city of Miami was 30 °F (-1 °C) on several occasions.[26] Miami has only once recorded snowfall, on January 20, 1977. Weather conditions for the area around Miami were recorded sporadically from 1839 until 1900, with many years-long gaps. A cooperative temperature and rainfall recording site was established in what is now Downtown in December, 1900. An official Weather Bureau Office was opened in Miami in June, 1911.[27] Miami receives abundant rainfall, one of the highest among major U.S. cities. Most of this rainfall occurs from mid-May through early October. It receives annual rainfall of 58.6 inches (1488 mm),[28] whereas nearby Fort Lauderdale and Miami Beach receive 63.8 in (1621 mm) and 48.3 in (1227 mm), respectively, which demonstrates the high local variability in rainfall rates. Hurricane season officially runs from June 1 through November 30, although hurricanes can develop beyond those dates.

The highest crime rates were in the late 1970s and early 1980s during the "Cocaine Cowboy" era, since Miami was where the majority of cocaine entered the United States from Colombia. In the early 1980s, Miami was considered America's murder capital due to all the drug related murders going on at the time. Due to this, Miami developed its own organized crime culture. Such crimes inspired the famous television series "Miami Vice."

About Jeff Grey
This is our family. We love our Lake Ann Cottage and Esch Beach in Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore 20 minutes from our Cottage. We always have a picnic there and grill brats over an open fire, then watch the sun set over Lake Michigan.
Jeff Grey purchased this house in 2004
Why Jeff Grey chose Lake Ann
This Lake Ann Cottage is not a rental Property, rather it is a Family Cottage that we choose to rent out a few weeks a year to help pay the taxes and Insurance!
What makes this house unique
The Peace of Mind to know that the next few hours you have nothing to do! But enjoy nature and wildlife, take out a kayak, go fishing, golfing and maybe read a good book. . . decisions, decisions!


text: OverviewBack to top of page Logona - Facial Toner Organic Rose & Aloe - 3.4 oz. Code#:117975 Manufacturer:Logona Size/Form:3.40 oz. Packaged Ship Weight:0.70 Logona Organic Rose and Aloe Alcohol-Free Facial Toner - 3.4 oz. (100 ml) Logona's Alcohol-Free Organic Rose & Aloe Facial Toner's extremely gentle composition vitalizes your skin with organic aloe vera juice and organic wild rose extract, and optimally prepares it for the following Logona skin care product. Logona's Alcohol-Free Organic Rose and Aloe Facial Toner is infused with the natural fragrance of damascus rose. Toning is an important step of a facial care program. Toning follows cleansing and precedes moisturizing or similar facial care treatment. Applying a toning lotion provides a supplemental cleansing and facial rinse, and floods the open pores with pure botanical extracts selected to benefit a specific skin condition. Logona's toning lotions target specific responses from vital skin functions. Beauty Tips: Apply toner after cleansing the skin and before subsequent facial care treatment such as moisturizing with day or night cream. Standards and Quality Manufacturing personal care products without synthetic preservatives requires especially careful handling of both raw materials and finished products, as the slightest contamination can ruin an entire production run. Logona utilizes GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice), the pharmaceutical industry's production standard, to guide their manufacturing processes. Logona also continuously improves their products' quality to keep current with advances in manufacturing and ingredient standards. However, no advance in product quality comes at the cost of Logona's steadfast commitment to environmental responsibility. Logona's foremost goal is to make quality personal care products with minimal impact on the planet and its resources. Certifications Logona's raw materials are of the highest quality and, whenever possible, of certified organic origin. In addition, nearly all of Logona's products are certified by BDHI and NaTrue, two independent certification standards that award their seal to products that comply with the strictest natural standards. Plant Extracts Chamomile from Egypt, rosemary from France, linden blossom from Croatia, horsetail from Portugal - Logona's Research & Development team analyzes plants from all over the world to determine the best resources for their products. And, because production methods play an equally important role in the quality of a plant extract, Logona produces many of their own extracts. By utilizing a mixture of bio-ethanol, water and glycerin (standard extracts are usually made using only ethanol and water) Logona slowly and gently releases the active plant ingredients. The addition of glycerin and Logona's six to eight hour extraction process allows them to capture more of the active plant ingredients than with a standard ethanol and water mixture. With few exceptions, the plants Logona sources for their extracts are certified organic. And, most of Logona's plant extracts are from classic medicinal plants, making them extremely effective. About Logona During the 1970's, Europe experienced a wave of environmental consciousness and activism. Organic agriculture, renewable energy and environmental responsibility became the watchwords of the movement. In 1975, a group of inspired and like-minded friends opened a shop, Lorien Goods, in Hanover, Germany. Their shop featured the few products available at the time that fit the values of the new, green movement. To expand their shop's selection and to wholesale to other stores, the group began to import products from outside of Germany. In 1977, they decided it was time to begin manufacturing their own body care products and Logona was born. Logona's commitment to manufacturing and packaging body care products in an ecologically responsible manner resonated with their customers and the product line steadily expanded over the years. Today, Logona offers more than 200 natural personal care and cosmetic products. In 1990, the company added a new line of natural care products, Sante, to appeal to a younger consumer. Strict ingredient quality standards are of fundamental importance in Logona's product formulation and manufacturing. Logona's products utilize the highest quality, natural raw materials, such as: premium botanical oils, herbal extracts and essential oils derived from organic agriculture and wild-crafting. In addition to rigorous ingredient standards, Logona also meets or exceeds industry sustainability standards for minimizing resource consumption during manufacturing and for minimal and recyclable packaging for their finished products. Today, Logona, together with Sante, serves as a leading manufacturer of natural personal care products throughout Europe and is currently expanding into the North American marketplace.

Rachel Wood, Bell rekindle romance
Submitted by Kiran Pahwa on Sat, 07/02/2011 - 03:25
London, July 2 : Actress Evan Rachel Wood has reportedly rekindled her romance with ex-boyfriend Jamie Bell, five years after they parted ways.
Rachel Wood dated Bell in 2006 after they played onscreen lovers in the music video for Green Day's track "Wake Me Up When September Ends", reports contactmusic. com.
They even got matching tattoos to declare their love for each other, with Wood saying at the time, "We had matching tattoos because we knew our love would last for ever. Trouble is, it didn't, things happened, we split. But I don't regret the tattoo. It reminds me of a great, great period in my life."
Recently the two were snapped strolling through Manhattan with their arms around each other.(IANS)

Star of India
Star of India is an iron-hulled ship that had once sailed around the world. Now, a highly trained volunteer crew takes her out for a sail on special occasions, usually once a year. The ship can be toured and is surprisingly large inside. The interior walls are lined with historic photographs, making this a proud part of the local Maritime Museum.
