(If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you) Michigan is the eighth most populous state in the United States. It has the longest freshwater shoreline of any political subdivision in the world, being bounded by four of the five Great Lakes, plus Lake Saint Clair.[5] In 2005, Michigan ranked third for the number of registered recreational boats, behind California and Florida.[6] Michigan has 64,980 inland lakes.[7] A person in the state is never more than six miles (10&_160;km) from a natural water source,[citation needed] or more than 87.2&_160;miles (140.3&_160;km) from a Great Lakes shoreline.[citation needed] Michigan is the only state to consist entirely of two peninsulas. The Lower Peninsula, to which the name Michigan was originally applied, is often dubbed "the mitten" by residents, owing to its shape. When asked where in Michigan one comes from, a resident of the Lower Peninsula may often point to the corresponding part of his or her hand. The Upper Peninsula (often referred to as The U.P.) is separated from the Lower Peninsula by the Straits of Mackinac, a five-mile (8&_160;km)-wide channel that joins Lake Huron to Lake Michigan. The Upper Peninsula is economically important for tourism and natural resources. Michigan was home to various Native Americans centuries before colonization by Europeans. When the first European explorers arrived, the most populous and influential tribes were Algonquian peoples—specifically, the Ottawa, the Anishnabe (called "Chippewa" in French, after their language, "Ojibwe"), and the Potawatomi. The Anishnabe, whose numbers are estimated to have been between 25,000 and 35,000, were the most populous.

3. Lemon Pepper Detox Alternative Recipe
November 18, 2009
Recalling Jean Sheppard's immortal line, "My father wove a tapestry of profanities which still hangs over Lake Michigan," discouraged and disgruntled lemon pepper detox dieters often spin-out vile tapestries of their own, volubly complaining about how the taste and smell of standard lemon-pepper cleansing beverages render the cure worse than the disease. Even the most ardent proponents and fervent fans of "No pain, no gain" often draw the line at the traditional lemon pepper detox dietary drink. That being said there are also scores of those who actually like the taste.

5. Health Savings Accounts Can Save Michigan Money
November 16, 2009
Since 1988, the Mackinac Center has recommended literally hundreds of reform ideas to save billions of dollars and balance the state budget. As this commentary goes to the printer, the state continues to wrestle with its fiscal 2010 budget. Fiscal 2011 is expected to bring more deficits and political drama ? next year is an election year ? than we have seen with the last seven state budgets combined. Legislators must begin reducing the cost of state government immediately.
One way they can do that is by adopting "health savings accounts" and high-deductible insurance plans for governme... (read more)

7. Would You Like to Burn in Hell Alongside of Richard E Rhoades? Consider This
November 13, 2009
I have written an article concerning one Henry Dziczkowski (that writing is also available via my Blog, Google “Allan Lewicki”). This person is an elder in a fellowship calling themselves “The Maranatha Bible Society”. This article is specifically for the edification of that fellowship, it’s president Ken Brandt of Litchfield Michigan, and for Elder Dziczkowski. This treatise is if a seriousness beyond measure, it is not a plea for repentance, but a document of condemnation (see Matthew 12:31 and 32)
The "word of the LORD" and "the word of God", these two phrases are worth pondering. Firs... (read more)

10. Professional Carpet Cleaning - Why you Need It
November 12, 2009
Carpeting can be problematic, especially in Michigan where the weather can change like the minute hand on an analog wall clock. It doesn't matter if you're a business owner or a home owner -- keeping your carpets clean can be a real challenge. While vacuuming may help aesthetically, unless you have a professional-grade, or high-dollar, vacuum cleaner, your vacuuming probably does little more to actually clean your carpets than sweeping it with a broom would do. Visual cleanliness aside, however, carpeting is no more "clean" because it looks good than a wiped-off plate that held raw chicken ... (read more)

17. Blue Cross contract critical to hospital

An ongoing contract standoff between Allegiance Health and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan is worth public attention for two reasons: 1. It will affect health premiums for local Blue Cross customers, and 2. It may affect the independence of this Jackson-run hospital.

November 06, 2009
These listings are created by the mortgage loan lenders that have had the need to repossess the real estate properties from the clients that were unable to continue with the monthly installments on their mortgage loans for whatever reason.
