Visit South Georgian Bay Presents: Winter Baycation
We wanted to show off how amazing winter is in Collingwood and The Blue Mountains, so we invited 2 adventurous travelers, MJ and Stéphane to discover a snapshot of South Georgian Bay. With the support of Visit South Georgian Bay and some of their fantastic members, we rolled out the red carpet over 3 days to show them a trip they will not soon forget. For me, it was very cool to also be a tourist in my own backyard doing many things I’ve not yet had the opportunity to do, namely the helicopter tour on day 3! I want to say a huge THANK YOU to our partners:
Living Water Resort & Spa, Living Shore Spa, Lakeside Seafood & Grill, Big Blue Air, Blue Mountain Resort, Scenic Caves Nature Adventures, Northwinds Brewhouse & Kitchen, Xtreme Adventures, The Pottery Restaurant, The Beer Bus Collingwood, Side Launch Brewing Company, Georgian Hills Vineyards, Sanctuari, The Iron Skillet, The Candy Factory, Collingwood Olive Oil Co., Blue Mountain Tea Company, and The Wild Stand General Store. These are just a few of the amazing businesses and people that you will encounter when you Visit South Georgian Bay.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using
a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Ontario ( ( listen); French: [ɔ̃taʁjo]) is one of the 13 provinces and territories of Canada and is located in east-central Canada. It is Canada's most populous province accounting for 38.3 percent of the country's population, and is the second-largest province in total area. Ontario is fourth-largest in total area when the territories of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut are included. It is home to the nation's capital city, Ottawa, and the nation's most populous city, Toronto, which is also Ontario's provincial capital.
Ontario is bordered by the province of Manitoba to the west, Hudson Bay and James Bay to the north, and Quebec to the east and northeast, and to the south by the U.S. states of (from west to east) Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. Almost all of Ontario's 2,700 km (1,678 mi) border with the United States follows inland waterways: from the west at Lake of the Woods, eastward along the major rivers and lakes of the Great Lakes/Saint Lawrence River drainage system. These are the Rainy River, the Pigeon River, Lake Superior, the St. Marys River, Lake Huron, the St. Clair River, Lake St. Clair, the Detroit River, Lake Erie, the Niagara River, Lake Ontario and along the St. Lawrence River from Kingston, Ontario, to the Quebec boundary just east of Cornwall, Ontario. There is only about 1 km (0.6 mi) of land border made up of portages including Height of Land Portage on the Minnesota border.Ontario is sometimes conceptually divided into two regions, Northern Ontario and Southern Ontario. The great majority of Ontario's population and arable land is in the south. In contrast, the larger, northern part of Ontario is sparsely populated with cold winters and heavy forestation.
How to Stop Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
Join my FREE 30-Day Low-Carb, No-Cheat Challenge Here!
Also check out my other video on Tinnitus, especially if it doesn't work (as there are other causes):
Take Dr. Berg's Advanced Evaluation Quiz:
Your report will then be sent via email analyzing 104 potential symptoms, giving you a much deeper insight into the cause-effect relationship of your body issues. It's free and very enlightening.
This technique was developed from Dr. Jan Strydom. This tapping technique helps to desensitize ringing in the ears through creating a rhythmic finger drumming directly over the occiput bone at the level of the brain step.
Step 1: Rate your symptom from 1-10
Step 2: Apply procedure 20 times
Step 3: Re-rate symptom and repeat procedure
Continue this procedure daily until resolved.

This Is Serious Mum - TISM - (He'll Never Be An) Ol' Man River
TISM - (He'll Never Be An) Ol' Man River (I'm On The Drug That Killed River Phoenix).
I'm on the drug,
I'm on the drug,
I'm on the drug that killed River Phoenix*.
I saw his body thrashing round.
I saw his pulse rate going down.
I saw him in convulsive throes.
I said I'll have one of those.
Hillary** had,
Hillary had,
Hillary had it in his veins.
Hillary had Everest in his veins;
Armstrong*** did moon, was not the same;
Heroes explore to give us hope;
River pushed back the envelope.
Drank the slab,
Drank the slab,
Drank the slab that Bon Scott**** drunk.
I drank the slab that Bon Scott drunk;
I injected some of Hendrix's***** junk;
I booked a seat on Lynyrd Skynyrd's******plane;
Mama Cass's sandwich?******* Ate the same.
Now I'm bored,
Now I'm bored,
Now I'm bored there's no stopping.
Now I'm bored and there's no stopping;
I need another celeb to fill a coffin;
Where'll I get my next drug action?
Odds on it'll be Michael Jackson********.
I'm on the drug,
I'm on the drug,
I'm on the drug that killed River Phoenix.
* River Phoenix - Hollywood actor and the older brother of Joaquin Phoenix. His most famous films are My Own Private Idaho (1991), Explorers (1985) and Stand By Me (1986).
DIED: October 31, 1993 - drug overdose outside the West Hollywood nightclub The Viper Room.
** Sir Edmund Hillary - New Zealand mountaineer. On the 29th of May 1953, Hillary and Nepalese Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers confirmed to have reached the summit of Mount Everest. Hillary didn't die of a drug overdose.
*** Neil Armstrong - American astronaut,. On the 20th of July 1969, Neil was the first person to walk on the Moon. Neil didn't die of a drug overdose.
**** Bon Scott - Scottish-born Australian singer and songwriter. Lead singer of popular Australian rock and roll band, AC/DC. Most famous songs include Highway To Hell, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Let There Be Rock and It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll).
DIED: 19 February 1980, Bon passed out in the car after a night of heavy drinking at the Music Machine club in London. Bon passed away due to pulmonary aspiration of vomit (popularly known as choked on your own vomit) and the official cause of death was listed as acute alcohol poisoning.
***** Jimi Hendrix - American rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Jimi is widely regarded as being the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music. Most famous songs include Hey Joe, Foxy Lady, Voodoo Child (Slight Return), Purple Haze and All Along The Watchtower.
DIED: 18 September, 1970, Jimi was found in a flat in Kensington, London. He was breathing but unconscious and unresponsive. Jimi had like Bon Scott also choked on his own vomit and died of asphyxia while intoxicated with barbiturates.
****** Lynyrd Skynyrd - A Southern Rock band from the 1970's. Most famous songs include Freebird and Sweet Home Alabama.

******* Mama Cass Elliot - American singer who was best known as a member of the Mamas & the Papas. Most famous songs include California Dreamin', Monday Monday, Dancing In The Street and Dream A Little Dream Of Me.
DIED: Urban legend is that Mama Cass choked to death on a ham sandwich. In fact a common joke of the day was if Mama Cass gave Karen Carpenter (The Carpenters singer, who died of anorexia nervosa) her last ham sandwich, two singers would be alive today. In reality, Mama Cass died of heart failure, as there was no food found in her windpipe.
******** Michael Jackson - American singer, songwriter, and dancer. Known as the King Of Pop, Michael's career started with the Jackson 5. He went on to have a successful solo career. Most famous songs include Thriller, Billie Jean, Bad and Beat It.
THE PROPHECY OF TISM.
On 6 June 1995, TISM released (He'll Never Be An) Ol' Man River but it was 14 years later on June 25, 2009 when Michael would die of combination of drugs in his body, with the most significant drugs being the anaesthetic propofol.
Carbie Warbie's analysis on this song.
Most people misinterpret the meaning of this TISM song. It's not an attack on River Phoenix. If you're a YOB or The Bennies, all you care about is the chorus of being on the drug that killed River Phoenix. It's not a celebration of getting wasted and being like a celebrity that choked on his vomit. When these well loved stars suddenly die, the media frenzy goes into overdrive due to our obsession. I believe the real meaning of this song is that society has become obsessed and follow a long succession of vapid celebrities from Paris Hilton, Fabio, the cast of Friends, Trump or these days the Kardashians and Reality TV stars. So what the song's underlying message is we should be admiring the real achievers of humanity, such as Sir Edmund Hillary and Neil Armstrong.
Hobart
Hobart (UK: /ˈhoʊbɑrt/) is the capital and most populous city of the Australian island state of Tasmania. Founded in 1804 as a penal colony, Hobart is Australia's second oldest capital city after Sydney, New South Wales. The city is located in the state's south-east on the estuary of the Derwent River, making it the most southern of Australia's capital cities, and its harbour forms the second-deepest natural port in the world.
In June 2013, the city had a greater area population of approximately 217,973. Its skyline is dominated by the 1,271-metre (4,170 ft) Mount Wellington. It is the financial and administrative heart of Tasmania, serving as the home port for both Australian and French Antarctic operations and acting as a major tourist hub, with over 1.19 million visitors in 2011/2012. The metropolitan area is often referred to as Greater Hobart, to differentiate it from the City of Hobart local government area.

SUMMARY
=======
Ontario ( (listen); French: [ɔ̃taʁjo]) is one of the 13 provinces and territories of Canada and is located in east-central Canada. It is Canada's most populous province accounting for 38.3 percent of the country's population, and is the second-largest province in total area. Ontario is fourth-largest in total area when the territories of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut are included. It is home to the nation's capital city, Ottawa, and the nation's most populous city, Toronto, which is also Ontario's provincial capital.
Ontario is bordered by the province of Manitoba to the west, Hudson Bay and James Bay to the north, and Quebec to the east and northeast, and to the south by the U.S. states of (from west to east) Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. Almost all of Ontario's 2,700 km (1,678 mi) border with the United States follows inland waterways: from the west at Lake of the Woods, eastward along the major rivers and lakes of the Great Lakes/Saint Lawrence River drainage system. These are the Rainy River, the Pigeon River, Lake Superior, the St. Marys River, Lake Huron, the St. Clair River, Lake St. Clair, the Detroit River, Lake Erie, the Niagara River, Lake Ontario and along the St. Lawrence River from Kingston, Ontario, to the Quebec boundary just east of Cornwall, Ontario. There is only about 1 km (0.6 mi) of land border made up of portages including Height of Land Portage on the Minnesota border.Ontario is sometimes conceptually divided into two regions, Northern Ontario and Southern Ontario. The great majority of Ontario's population and arable land is in the south. In contrast, the larger, northern part of Ontario is sparsely populated with cold winters and heavy forestation.

Calling All Cars: Murder in the Back Room / Blood-Stained Saw / Missing 100 Dollar Nightgown
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is the police department of the city of Los Angeles, California.
The LAPD has been copiously fictionalized in numerous movies, novels and television shows throughout its history. The department has also been associated with a number of controversies, mainly concerned with racial animosity, police brutality and police corruption.
The radio show Calling All Cars hired LAPD radio dispacher Jesse Rosenquist to be the voice of the dispatcher. Rosenquist was already famous because home radios could tune into early police radio frequencies. As the first police radio dispatcher presented to the public ear, his was the voice that actors went to when called upon for a radio dispatcher role.
The iconic television series Dragnet, with LAPD Detective Joe Friday as the primary character, was the first major media representation of the department. Real LAPD operations inspired Jack Webb to create the series and close cooperation with department officers let him make it as realistic as possible, including authentic police equipment and sound recording on-site at the police station.
Due to Dragnet's popularity, LAPD Chief Parker became, after J. Edgar Hoover, the most well known and respected law enforcement official in the nation. In the 1960s, when the LAPD under Chief Thomas Reddin expanded its community relations division and began efforts to reach out to the African-American community, Dragnet followed suit with more emphasis on internal affairs and community policing than solving crimes, the show's previous mainstay.
Several prominent representations of the LAPD and its officers in television and film include Adam-12, Blue Streak, Blue Thunder, Boomtown, The Closer, Colors, Crash, Columbo, Dark Blue, Die Hard, End of Watch, Heat, Hollywood Homicide, Hunter, Internal Affairs, Jackie Brown, L.A. Confidential, Lakeview Terrace, Law & Order: Los Angeles, Life, Numb3rs, The Shield, Southland, Speed, Street Kings, SWAT, Training Day and the Lethal Weapon, Rush Hour and Terminator film series. The LAPD is also featured in the video games Midnight Club II, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, L.A. Noire and Call of Juarez: The Cartel.
The LAPD has also been the subject of numerous novels. Elizabeth Linington used the department as her backdrop in three different series written under three different names, perhaps the most popular being those novel featuring Det. Lt. Luis Mendoza, who was introduced in the Edgar-nominated Case Pending. Joseph Wambaugh, the son of a Pittsburgh policeman, spent fourteen years in the department, using his background to write novels with authentic fictional depictions of life in the LAPD. Wambaugh also created the Emmy-winning TV anthology series Police Story. Wambaugh was also a major influence on James Ellroy, who wrote several novels about the Department set during the 1940s and 1950s, the most famous of which are probably The Black Dahlia, fictionalizing the LAPD's most famous cold case, and L.A. Confidential, which was made into a film of the same name. Both the novel and the film chronicled mass-murder and corruption inside and outside the force during the Parker era. Critic Roger Ebert indicates that the film's characters (from the 1950s) represent the choices ahead for the LAPD: assisting Hollywood limelight, aggressive policing with relaxed ethics, and a straight arrow approach.

John Henry Faulk Interview: Education, Career, and the Hollywood Blacklist
John Henry Faulk (August 21, 1913--April 9, 1990) from Austin, Texas was a storyteller and radio show host. His successful lawsuit against blacklisters of the entertainment industry helped to bring an end to the Hollywood blacklist. More Faulk:
While a soldier at Camp Swift, Faulk began writing his own radio scripts. An acquaintance facilitated an interview for him at WCBS in New York City. The network executives were sufficiently impressed to offer him his own radio show. Upon his 1946 discharge from the Army, Faulk began his Johnny's Front Porch radio show for WCBS. The show featured Faulk's characterizations that he had been developing since his university years. Faulk eventually went to another radio station, but returned to WCBS for a four-hour morning talk show. The John Henry Faulk Show ran for six years. His radio successes provided opportunity for him to appear as himself on television, in shows like the 1951 Mark Goodson and William Todman game show It's News to Me, hosted by John Charles Daly. He also appeared on Leave It to the Girls in 1953 and The Name's the Same in 1955.
Cactus Pryor met Faulk in the studios of KLBJ (then KTBC) where Faulk stopped by to thank Pryor for letting his mother hear his New York show. Pryor had been accidentally broadcasting Faulk's radio show in Texas where Faulk was not otherwise heard. Although the broadcast happened repeatedly, Pryor always claimed he just hit the wrong button in the studio. Pryor visited Faulk at a Manhattan apartment he shared with Alan Lomax, and became introduced to the movers and shakers of the east coast celebrity scene of that era. When Pryor stood by Faulk during the blacklisting and tried to find him work, Pryor's children were harassed; a prominent Austin physician circulated a letter questioning Pryor's patriotism; an Austin attorney tried to convince Lyndon Johnson to discharge Pryor from the airwaves. The Pryor family and the Faulk family remained close and supportive of each other for the rest of Faulk's life.
In December 1955, Faulk was elected second vice president of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, to Orson Bean's first vice president position and Charles Collingwood as the president of the union. Collingswood, Bean and Faulk were part of a middle-of-the-road slate of non-communist, anti-AWARE organization candidates that Faulk had helped draft. Twenty-seven of thirty-five vacant seats on the board went to the middle-of-the-road slate. Faulk's public position during the campaign had been that the union should be focused on jobs and security, not blacklisting of members.
In the 1970s in Austin, he was also befriended by the young co-editor of the Texas Observer, Molly Ivins, and became an early supporter of hers.
