Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Michigan ( /ˈmɪʃɨɡən/ (help·info)) is a Midwestern state of the United States of America. The name Michigan is a French adaptation of the Ojibwe term mishigama, meaning "large water" or "large lake". 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. In 2005, Michigan ranked third for the number of registered recreational boats, behind California and Florida. Michigan has 64,980 inland lakes. A person in the state is never more than six miles (10 km) from a natural water source, or more than 87.2 miles (140.3 km) from a Great Lakes shoreline. 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 km)-wide channel that joins Lake Huron to Lake Michigan. The Upper Peninsula is economically important for tourism and natural resources. From Wikipedia under the

I know most will be annoyed by such an optimistic view point, but Tate Forcier is truly amazing. He is like Brett Farve when the game is on the line. They almost stole that game right from under MSU. Even though MSU had every intangible on their side, including desperation,home field advantage and more veteran players.Michigan has many great years ahead of them and this season is still not looking too bad. For a percieved rebuilding year were still not doing bad. Asked by a - Sat Oct 3 15:51:08 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. I do, but I am a biased Michigan fan. Michigan has to improve their secondary. They have to recruit heavily for safeties and corners. Their pass defense is their one weakness.

Q. i want to start a plant from seeds. preferably something that can stay in pots. but it has to be able to stand the crazy weather of michigan. my brother has a lemon tree that grew from seeds. i thought of apples. what would be best? Asked by Princess LovAngel - Tue Jul 17 10:48:56 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Apple, peach, apricot, & cherry trees all do well in Michigan but it takes a long time from the seed or pit until you harvest any fruit. Herbs do well in pots and can be grown from seed. If you're going to keep the pot inside, try an avacado. For outside, I'd wait a bit and then plant quick growing crops like lettuce, spinach & sugar pod peas that will mature before frost or that you can take inside when the temperatures plummet. If you start next spring, tomatoes will do well in a pot. Michigan weather is crazy, isn't it? Answered by Jane D - Tue Jul 17 11:35:34 2007 How do I get started acting in Michigan?

I imagine you'll have to go to a major city like Lansing or Detroit but also places like Grand Rapids or even Battle Creek might have companies that offer ways to work toward an Equity card. After you get into Equity, a lot more resources should become available to you for classes and audition information. Get Daily Variety or one of the other show biz papers so you can see what's out there. If there are any good film locations in Michigan it would be great if you could get yourself there for extra work. Your best bet is to keep watch in these little papers to know what's going on in film or theatre.
