Detroit Fireworks 2010 Rollicking Highlight

Posted: 21 Jun 2010 09:47 PM PDT


The 52nd Annual Target Fireworks will be held Monday, June 21 at 10:06 p.m. along the Detroit Riverfront. Metro Detroit is two days away from the rollicking highlight of the summer season the 52nd annual Target Fireworks display over the Detroit River. Metro Detroit is two days away from the rollicking highlight of the summer season the 52nd annual Target Fireworks display.


Detroit River Days - is June 18-21, 2010.
Detroit Fireworks - Target Fireworks is June 21, 2010 (monday).
Gold Cup (Unlimited Hydroplane Boat Racing) - in Detroit on Detroit River, July 9-11, 2010.
Michigan Vet Fest / Cruisin' Michigan Ave / Harley Bike Run - July 10, 2010 in Dearborn.
Woodward Dream Cruise - August 21, 2010 (saturday) - just north of Detroit.

The show has been choreographed by Patrick Brault, who is has been internationally acclaimed choreographer for his work in various countries like Spain, Germany, Canada, France, Belgium, Chile, Monaco. He has been competing at international level since 1991.

We spent another night making light graffiti down by the Detroit River. Writing words backwards in one continuous motion to appear correctly in front of the camera continued to be a challenge, but with a lot of practice the photographs turned out well. We were able to perfect the words we were writing with light and ended up with a lot of cool photographs, including some with blurred car headlights. And using sparklers took the experience to a whole new level. Little did we know that all of this would lead to an exciting 10-second promotion to be aired on Local 4!

This year an additional firework known as Helicopter will be displayed and is said to be main attraction of the show. This firework stops midway after it is launched then hovers, continues to go high and then explodes.

Padma Lakshmi and David Spade Seen Togather in L.A

Posted: 21 Jun 2010 09:41 PM PDT


As for what to expect on Top Chef D.C. this season, she seems to have heard the rumors that a local First Lady will make a guest-judge appearance, but she won't reveal too much. "Um … I can't say," she responded when asked about a Michelle Obama role on the show. It's not a stretch. The First Lady previously made a prominent appearance on Iron Chef, and has shown serious concern about how Americans, especially American children, eat.

Padma Says, There are lots. The spices we have in Easy Exotic are easy because they're premixed. I think a lot of people are intimidated to use spices and then there's always the spice you have to buy for a recipe that needs a teaspoon and then it sits in your cupboard for six months.

Padma Parvati Lakshmi, Lady Rushdie (born September 1, 1970) is an Indian American cookbook author, actress, and model. She has been the host of the US reality television program Top Chef since season two. In 2009 she was nominated for an Emmy Award for hosting Top Chef along with Tom Colicchio.

Another rumor out there is that Padma Lakshmi is dating actor David Spade, but that's more of a news short. (Sorry.) The two were seen on the town together recently, so in L.A. Speak they must be "doing it." Funny, it was less than a few weeks ago that Padma Lakshmi expressed her deep appreciation and love for long-time companion (yet, not the father of her baby) Teddy Forstmann. Don't know the story there, but it's not any of my business either.

On the Met's red carpet she was holding hands with (although unidentified in the Getty photo caption) billionaire and close close friend Teddy Fortsmann.

Pecos River Ranch Grab It Now

Posted: 21 Jun 2010 09:36 PM PDT


The star of "The Doors" (1991) and "Batman Forever" (1995) assembled the ranch roughly 13 years ago. In 2006, he asked $18 million for 1,800 acres of the property, including the main houses. In January Mr. Kilmer offered those houses on a 1,000-acre parcel for $9 million, down from $12 million a few months earlier. John Watson, president and CEO of ranch broker Orvis/Cushman & Wakefield, has the listing.

"I understand it more," the magazine quoted Kilmer. "It's an actor's job. A guy who's lived through the horror of Vietnam has not spent his life preparing his mind for it. He's some punk. Most guys were borderline criminal or poor, and that's why they got sent to Vietnam. It was all the poor, wretched kids who got beat up by their dads, guys who didn't get on the football team, couldn't finagle a scholarship.

A hearing with the Board of County Commissioners was held last month and according to the Wall Street Journal, about six locals and veterans demanded an apology and now Val Kilmer has been asked to appear in person at the next meeting on June 23.

Mr. White, now 46, won seven Gold Glove awards between 1988 and 1995 and won two World Series championships with the Toronto Blue Jays and one with the Florida Marlins. He retired after the 2001 season from the Milwaukee Brewers. He and his wife, Colleen, plan to move to a smaller home, according to their listing agent, Michael Brown, of Hague Partners, an affiliate of Christie's Great Estates.

Hayley Hasselhoff "Huge" In The Family Of ABC

Posted: 21 Jun 2010 09:29 PM PDT


ABC Family realized this, and now they're in the weight loss TV game with 'Huge,' a quirky drama based on Sasha Paley's book of the same name, helmed by 'My So-Called Life' creator Winnie Holzman and starring Nikki Blonsky and Hayley Hasselhoff (yes, daughter of The Hoff and, ironically, the one who shot the now-infamous hamburger binge video).

Hayley Hasselhoff as Amber the thinnest and prettiest girl at fat camp, she's still determined to lose weight.

Hayley is an up beat 15-year-old despite going through public humiliation over her parents' actions. And now for the first time, father and daughter sit down for an exclusive interview to talk about what it's like growing up as a Hoff.

Huge, written by My So-Called Life creator Winnie Holzman and her daughter, Savannah Dooley, is being touted as Glee meets Ugly Betty. THR reports the "series will revolve around six teens and the staff at Wellness Canyon, a weight-loss camp. It centers on Will (Blonsky), a funny, opinionated overweight girl sent to the camp by her wealthy parents who own a chain of fitness centers, and Amber (Hasselhoff), a curvy teen who is the skinniest and hottest girl at the camp but who considers herself too heavy."

Rockhopper Tracker 2010 Frequent Guide and Walk Thru

Posted: 21 Jun 2010 09:23 PM PDT


First of all, Rockhopper is sometimes a real person and sometimes a computer. During peak hours of the day, Rockhopper is usually a person but late at night or early in the morning in the USA Rockhopper is a computer. Rockhopper can be logged into more than one server at a time. Rockhopper likes to visit many servers, but his favorites are Mammoth, Frozen, Blizzard, Parka, and Yeti. Remember, he visits many servers, not just these ones.

Rockhopper is an adventuring penguin. He sails the seas in his ship, the Migrator, in search of treasure and adventure. He returns to Club Penguin approximately every two months with items to sell. When he's in Club Penguin, his ship is docked at the Beach, next to the Lighthouse. You can board the ship and visit the Main Deck and the Hold.

When searching for Rockhopper, be sure to check the popular servers. This includes Abominable, Frozen, Blizzard, Mammoth, Sleet, and many others. If there is a crowded server that's usually empty, that might be a sign that Rockhopper is on the server. He frequently visits the Pizza Shop, Dock, Forest, Cove, and of course, the Migrator. If you see a large crowd of penguin, then Rockhopper might be among them.

My Rockhopper Tracker for June 2010 is updated very frequently and should be checked and refreshed often. Refresh Here! If you see Rockhopper, Make sure to leave a comment with his room and server immediately.

Physics Regents Prepared For This

Posted: 21 Jun 2010 09:17 PM PDT


Van Wie, the chief technologist of the Precision Engagement Business Area and a renowned expert in high-speed, high-temperature fluid dynamics and air-breathing propulsion systems, is among 30 fellows selected for 2010 in recognition of their notable contributions to the field.

Have you prepared for this, taught for this, or taken the Physics Regents June 2009 examination? If yes, then go ahead and write below about the latest information on this prep.

Do you get a 0 as your final grade in your report card, or does it come out as incomplete(or a blank) and you have to take it in august?

# Weight (force of gravity) decreases as you move away from the earth by distance squared.
# Mass and inertia are the same thing.
# Constant velocity and zero velocity means the net force is zero and acceleration is zero.
# Weight (in newtons) is mass x acceleration (w = mg). Mass is not weight!
# Velocity, displacement [s], momentum, force and acceleration are vectors.
# Speed, distance [d], time, and energy (joules) are scalar quantities.
# The slope of the velocity-time graph is acceleration.
# At zero (0) degrees two vectors have a resultant equal to their sum. At 180 degrees two vectors have a resultant equal to their difference. From the difference to the sum is the total range of possible resultants.
# Centripetal force and centripetal acceleration vectors are toward the center of the circle- while the velocity vector is tangent to the circle.
# An unbalanced force (object not in equilibrium) must produce acceleration.
# The slope of the distance-tine graph is velocity.
# The equilibrant force is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the resultant vector.
# Momentum is conserved in all collision systems.
# Magnitude is a term use to state how large a vector quantity is.

What Is Beyond Infinity Original Alive

Posted: 21 Jun 2010 09:12 PM PDT


To answer the question of what is beyond infinity, read the book written by Gregory Benford. There is a short review of Beyond Infinity below from Publishers Weekly. Expanded from his 1990 novel.

Beyond Infinity is a collection of science fiction stories by author Robert Spencer Carr. It was first published in 1951 by Fantasy Press in an edition of 2,779 copies. Two of the stories originally appeared in The Saturday Evening Post.

Though the genetically reengineered Supras regard her as limited in intelligence, Cley's precocious nature lands her a job helping to recover scientific and historical data from the immense caches called the Library of Life. When a vicious attack by transdimensional life forms leaves Cley the last Original alive, the Supras blame an extradimensional race known as the Malign. Cley knows, though, the Supras aren't telling her the whole story. Aided by the raccoon-like alien Seeker-After-Patterns, which seems to have a parallel agenda all its own, Cley flees Supra captivity and Earth.

2010 Summer Solstice Event That Happens Twice Each Year

Posted: 21 Jun 2010 09:01 PM PDT


Today the North Pole is tipped closer to the sun than on any other day of 2010. The opposite holds true for the Southern Hemisphere, for which today is the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year.

Pagans called the Midsummer moon the "Honey Moon" for the mead made from fermented honey that was part of wedding ceremonies performed at the Summer Solstice.

Ancient Pagans celebrated Midsummer with bonfires, when couples would leap through the flames, believing their crops would grow as high as the couples were able to jump.

Midsummer was thought to be a time of magic, when evil spirits were said to appear. To thwart them, Pagans often wore protective garlands of herbs and flowers. One of the most powerful of them was a plant called 'chase-devil', which is known today as St. John's Wort and still used by modern herbalists as a mood stabilizer.

Vernal Equinox Mar 20 2010 1:32 PM EDT
Summer Solstice Jun 21 2010 7:28 AM EDT
Autumnal Equinox Sep 22 2010 11:09 PM EDT
Winter Solstice Dec 21 2010 6:38 PM EST

A solstice is an astronomical event that happens twice each year when the Sun's apparent position in the sky reaches its northernmost or southernmost extremes. The name is derived from the Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), because at the solstices, the Sun stands still in declination; that is, the apparent movement of the Sun's path north or south comes to a stop before reversing direction.

Traffic Reporter Desiree Fontaine Charged With Shoplifting‎

Posted: 21 Jun 2010 06:23 AM PDT


Meet Desiree Fontaine ,she works for WTNH television in Milford Connecticut and she normally brings viewers morning traffic reports and hosts CT Style. Desiree Fontaine's colleagues will have to report on the fact that she been charged with shoplifting at Sears on Sunday.

Finally, the day arrived. I'd spent hours combing through my clothes, it was important that I had the PERFECT outfit to meet this fashionista. The studio was enchanting, everyone working there had a smiling face. Meeting Desiree was all I expected and more.

Fontaine, a Milford resident, was released on a promise to appear in court July 7. Milford police originally said there would not be any information about weekend activity released until today, but changed that stance because so many media outlets were calling about Fontaine's arrest, as all kinds of stories made their way through sources.

The Game Dies In Shooting Celebrity Rumors Spread On Internet

Posted: 21 Jun 2010 06:20 AM PDT


The shooting for me was a bit like the driving. The more I shot, the better I got at shooting. It isn't perfect though. I found that when I got really close to someone it was hard to track them especially while aiming. I felt the need to resort to spray and pray a lot and I don't like to play that way, I like more skill.

I am just sad that one of my favorite rappers has reportedly died and there have been talks going on about him on YouTube and other social sites. I will keep you guys updated what actually happened regarding his death.

It is hard to believe that with all the celebrity death rumors going on around these days that this one might be true. Recently there has been news of Justin Beiber dying, Oprah Winfrey removing her sixth toe, Russell Crowe dying and even Justin Beiber getting pregnant! With all of these false rumors, one wonders if that of the Game dying in a shooting is true or not.

Several keys point to this purported story about The Game being shot and killed as a fake one: The Google Trends entry contained all the hallmarks of a fake forced entry, like the task recently performed by 4Chan when a racist search term was 'gamed' into the number one spot.

Kimberly Mercado declined to comment on the shooting, saying she didn't want to compromise the investigation. Mercado and the suspect were assigned to the Army Medical Department Professional Management Command.
