Wanted now Sculpture Teams

WANTED: NOVA SCOTIA SNOW SCULPTING TEAMS
FOR WINTERLUDE 2010
Annual national competition in Canada’s Capital Region
seeks representatives from Nova Scotia
Canada’s Capital Region ¾ The National Capital Commission (NCC) is seeking applications from teams from Nova Scotia to represent their province in Winterlude 2010’s National Snow Sculpture Competition in Canada’s Capital. Teams compete for awards and prizes with a total value of $10,500. The deadline to submit applications has been extended to Thursday, December 31, 2009.
To date Nova Scotia is not represented in the annual competition that sees teams of up to three members from each province and territory transform blocks of snow measuring
3.7 m wide x 3.7 m deep x 4.9 m high (12 feet x 12 feet x 16 feet) into works of art. The theme for this year’s competition is “Winter Fun!” Each participating team will be asked to create a work of art that represents the joys and excitement that winter brings to Canadians each year — including physical and sporting activities, games, and traditions.
The competition will take place from February 9 to 13, 2010, in Canada’s Capital Region. Transportation, accommodation and meals are provided to participating snow sculpting team members. The brochure and application form are available on the NCC’s website on the Sun Life Snowflake Kingdom page.
Teams interested in competing or seeking more information are encouraged to contact Lyne Bérard, Program Assistant, National Snow Sculpture Competition, at 613-239-5058 or lyne.berard@ncc-ccn.ca, as soon as possible.
The 32nd edition of Winterlude will take place from February 5 to 21, 2010. Each year, this family-oriented event attracts more than 600,000 visitors to Canada’s Capital Region. For further information, members of the public may visit Winterlude.gc.ca.

BECAUSE MEN ARE JUST BIG BABIES, THAT'S ALL:
Now there's scientific evidence to back up the universal belief among women that a man with a cold is just a big whining baby. According to a report in WebMD, researchers at England's University of Glasgow studied nearly 1,700 people and found that men are more likely than women to overrate their common cold symptoms. The researchers theorize that men and women have different thresholds for perceiving and reporting symptoms, rather than actual differences in symptoms. Meaning, women take a couple of pills and go about their business. Men stay in bed groaning and moaning a lot while insisting that they are surely dying.

Speaking of Buying for your Pet at Christmas
Jann Arden's teeny-weenie dog 'Midi' just got herself new boots and well, they were made for walking but I don't think she's convinced...
Ukulele Boy
Matt and Deb played a portion of this on their show and it was so cute and impressive I had to post it!
Samantha Robichaud
Samantha Robichaud's story has touched the hearts of Nova Scotians.
Samantha is the 14 year old girl featured on the front page of the Sunday Herald.
She has bone cancer, the same type Terry Fox had,and a very tough fight ahead of her.
But it's the struggles she has already faced that has made her story so sad.
Her stepfather is her primary caregiver.
Money is tight and Samantha has taken the bus to the city by her self to receive treatment.
And she only has a grade six education because she has often had to stay home to care for her siblings.
Samantha' stepdad, Garnet Thacker, tells CTV the attention she has received since her story ran in the paper has been good for her.
Those wishing to support Samantha may send donations to a bank account that’s been set up at the RBC branch at the Halifax Shopping Centre. The account number is 03353 5208454 and is in the name ITF Samantha Robichaud.
