The Shaw Festival is a world class performing arts company that brings the best plays of George Bernard Shaw and his contemporaries to life on three stages. This entertainment spectacle nicely compliments every antique collector's annual pilgrimage to Virgil and Jordan and the shops along Stone Rd in the old town of Niagara on the Lake.

Shopping for Antiques?

Niagara on the Lake, Virgil and Jordan are terrific places to shop for antique furniture, vintage kitchenware, stain glass windows and lamps. Although military collectibles are surprisingly scarce, there exists an extraordinary amount of sheet music, lace, dolls and of course doll houses, vintage bar supplies and nostalgia pieces from the 1920s and 30s. The area is also rich in antique toys, primitive iron tools, and collectible fruit sealer jars.

Niagara Falls History

Etienne Brûlé was the first European to see Niagara Falls in 1633. The first eyewitness account of the falls in written text was by Father Louis Hennepin in 1683 wherein he described it as, "the most beautiful and altogether the most terrifying waterfall in the universe".

The first European settlers were primarily British Loyalists fleeing America in 1778. At the end of the American Revolution, these Loyalists were given land grants, and the town of Niagara was laid out on the west bank of the Niagara River. As the first farms were being cut from the wilderness, the first orchards were planted and they included apple trees from Quebec and the Maritimes, and red cherries from the east coast of the United States. The whole settlement prospered under the leadership of John Butler, who had led a regiment of rangers during the revolution.

Handcrafted Wood Furniture

Known for good handcrafted wood furniture, the entire Niagara region is rich with handmade primitives that sometimes incorporate fruitwoods. Inside Europa-Antiques, shoppers will no doubt admire handmade wooden chests, side tables and wardrobes, pine dressers and bookshelf units all being sold for less than $350. The proprietors of this business, located at 1523 Niagara Stone Road, inside a

'dear old red brick church', have an interesting attitude toward recycling furniture as part of their contribution to reducing climate change - Josh points to the green Reduce, Reuse, Recycle triangle on his hemp shopping bags. This business is here to sell good furniture cheap, and keep the inventory moving by offering very low prices. And BEST OF ALL, if you buy over four hundred dollars worth of furniture they will deliver it for free as far away as Toronto!

Pottery, Porcelain, and Fine China

Lakeshore Antiques and Treasures is located at 855 Lakeshore Road in the center of Niagara on the Lake. This is a well stocked 7000 square foot building wherein 15 separate merchants offer up their wares. Overall there are good prices here on painted pine furniture and English china. The shop is filled with tables and chairs and early Canadian pottery, porcelain, and English fine china and American kitchenware from the 1940s and 50s. Antique chandeliers hang from the rafters over many merchant holdings.

Bakelite is a Good Buy in Niagara

The area is becoming known for unusual bakelite items like radios and picnic vessels, tableware and all manner of period Art Deco objects. These gorgeous early wood plastic luxury items were imported by retailers to accommodate Niagara Falls tourists in the booming1950's. Today vintage bakelite is very sheik, and these antiques are cool to collect and relatively inexpensive here because of their availability.

Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian Antiques

Creighton House Antiques is a family business located on the main street of Jordan since 1982, but Joe and Pauline Creighton have been in the area, selling antiques for thirty years. Their large shop is located in the carriage house next to their 1850s Georgian home. They have lots of Canadiana, Victorian, and Edwardian furniture pieces, turn-of-the-century oak wardrobes, and quality mahogany and walnut furniture of the 1920s. The antiques are in “as found condition”, and range from fair to good condition. Joe does the buying and prides himself of the selection - there's something for everyone here.

Jordan Antiques is found at 3836 Main Street in the village of Jordan and boasts 6000 square feet of shopping; there are a lot of antiques here and it's not crowded. The prices are good on pine furniture, fine china and figurines. There's an abundance of Art Deco ashtrays, cranberry coloured carnival glass, vintage Christmas decorations, antique fishing lures, wooden tackle boxes, and handmade quilts. This is the perfect place to outfit a cottage with classic furnishings.

The Shaw Festival plays punctuate the cerebral excitement of this historic destination. Look around this old town and you can see, touch and breathe in the history; the scenery includes thundering black powder cannons in the walls of Fort George, and quaint horse and buggy tours that parade under canopied streets. As most of the buildings in town have historic plaques chronicling their existence, it's quite enlightening to just saunter around town for an afternoon.

Yungas Road (Highway of death in Bolivia)

Yungas Road is one of the most dangerous roads of all world. It is placed in Bolivia, between La Paz and Coroico cities. Since this region is called as Yungas, naturally this road is named as Yungas Road.

This road is used by heavy trucks, buses and lorries. Naturally, if you go to there,you can see the wreckages of many lorries and buses. In last years, it is also preferred by cyclists and motorcyclists. ”Gravity Assisted Mountain Biking” is one of the extreme sports made by on this road. Every month, more than 200 people die on Yungas Road. Annual death toll is more than 3000.

Guoliang Tunnel Road (China)

Guoliang Road is one of the most well-known killer roads .It was built by the villagers living in Guoliang region. Total length of the road is almost 1200 meters. It is located in Taihang mountains in China. To finish complete road took 5 years of villagers. On the road, there are tunnels with 5 meters height and 4 meters width. This road is known as death machine.

Pasubio Road was constructed in Vicenza, Northern Italy. Once upon a time, it was really a dead machine. Currently, it is only used for motorcycling activities.On the road, there are hairpin turns and tunnels. The existence of the roads twisting into tunnels and hairpin turns makes this road interesting.

I met a chatter whose name is Ulrich in my favourite chat channel. She was very sweet and charming girl. I spoke with her for fifteen minutes. I was stunned when she told me that she lived in small village called Fucking.For a sudden, I thought that she was joking with me. She was serious and insisted on living there. I opened my Google Earth map and searched for Fucking. She was right.There has been a village called Fucking for more than 1400 years.

Fucking: A small village in Austria

Fucking is a small village in Upper Austria. The exact location is 33 kilometers north of Salzburg and near German border. It is in the municipality of Tarsdorf.

It takes it's name from a traveller whose name is Focko. As far as I know, Focko is the name of a man who travelled this village in the 6th century. Fucking means “the place of Focko's people”.

The most surprising thing in Fucking is the traffic signs at the entrance and exit of the village. Most of the people seeing this sign stop there and take the photo of it. However, this sign has been stolen many times.

Fucking is rich in oxygen and fresh air since it is situated in the forest region. Due to it's natural beauty, it is one of the beautiful picnic areas of Tarsdorf. Even though it is a very small village and it's population is only 93, it is one of the well-known villages in Austria as a natural result of media interest.

Would you like to go Fucking and be one of the Fuckers? So, this is your guide.

As an adventure and tent camper I say “ha!” to you. I've gone camping dozens of times without the need for an RV or even a trailer, and gas prices, while they may effect my everyday travel, certainly aren't going to bog down my vacation! Nor should they do so to you. Even now, in the surprisingly chilly spring of British Columbia, a tenting trip should never be out of the question.

Before you start calling me crazy, show a bit of backbone and at least read through these tips!

Camping Equipment

Tent:

A tent is, of course, the most crucial piece of equipment when one is going tenting. Hence the name. Now, the one thing you must never, ever, ever do when buying a tent is to even think about going to Wal-Mart. Okay, that was somewhat of a joke. What I mean, is never buy a cheap $25.99 tent at Wal-Mart or anywhere else. The tent that you choose should be made out of thick material, and it should be advertised as being a "3 season tent." Although there are such things as 4 season tents, these are generally very expensive and unnecessary except for winter camping and high-altitude hiking. A good place to buy tents, and many other camping supplies, is Mountain Equipment Co-op.

Sleeping Bag:

In case you're a complete urbanite, a sleeping bag is what you, err... sleep in, when tenting. You can pick these up for relatively low prices, but you'll regret it. Seriously, there's nothing worse than shivering in a thin sleeping bag that you couldn't zip up all the way because the zipper snapped the moment you touched it while your air mattress slowly deflates beneath you. Canadian Tire is a good place, at least in Canada, to pick up a medium-quality sleeping bag.

Mattress:

Ideally, a mattress should be highly portable, as well as comfortable, which would suggest that air mattresses are the best option. However, I do not recommend them. Unless you're willing to spend a long time blowing them up with lung power, which can be difficult if you have the two-person, double-thick ones that are the size of a real mattress, they require either an hand pump or an electric one that connects to your car battery. More importantly, I have never encountered an air mattress that didn't leak, to a greater or lesser degree. Strips of foam, which can be rolled up into a tight coil, are both cheaper and more comfortable, in the long run.

Tarp:

If there's one thing you can be sure of, it's that it's probably going to rain... at least a bit. This means that you'll need two tarps: One to put under your tent, and one, preferably gigantic, one that stretches over your campsite. Make sure to bring plenty of rope, and a few helpers, to set this one up. If you do it right, tying the corners to your car and any trees that happen to be handy, you can even cover your table and chairs. Don't, however, cover the fire pit, for obvious reasons.

Campfire Equipment:

Bring plenty of wood, a good-quality axe, and someone who knows how to handle said good-quality axe. You will probably end up going through a lot of wood a day to fight off the cold, so hunt around in the empty campsites for wood that people have left behind. In most campsites, it is not legal to burn anything that came out of the forest, even if it's lying on the ground.

Minor Equipment:

There's all sorts of little things that will make your tenting life easier... A Swiss army knife, a barbecue lighter (for starting fires), plenty of rope, a portable coffee maker, a propane lantern... these are only a few of the many items that can help you stay warm and comfortable... even if it starts to snow. Oh, and don't forget plenty of changes of warm clothes, and at least one rain jacket.

Entertainment:

Although I don't protest to hiking in the rain, sometimes it's just easier to sit back and relax with friends. Therefore, I tend not to listen to the "no electronics" rule that some people seem to have with their camping trips. Just make sure that, even if the weather is bad, you do something other than sit around the picnic table. Or it's hardly tenting at all...

Nintendo DS:

My trusty DS is a great addition to any long trip. First of all, since I tend not to be the one driving, it's a good way to pass the time on the way to the campsite. This is especially good if your friends also have one. Personally, I find that playing a bit of multiplayer Pokémon is a great way to pass the time during a brief cloudburst.

Board Games:

Well, if you like this sort of thing, it can be fun. There's a couple of board games that I find entertaining, but a lot of them are pretty boring. Just my opinion, of course.

Card Games:

Now we're getting somewhere! Both a traditional deck of cards and a few decks of Magic or other collectible card games can be a great source of entertainment, especially at night. Just keep that propane lantern running, and the campfire burning!

Conclusion:

Spring tenting trips in the wilderness of Canada, or anywhere else, are not as inaccessible as they seem. Anyone with a bit of adventurous spirit and a few friends to drag along can go. Also, one final note, alcohol might warm you up, but please, start the fire before you start drinking.

The island has a variety of wildlife including deer and raccoon.

Salt Spring Island is located approximately thirty-five miles southwest of Vancouver. You may take the Vancouver ferry (outbound) to the Island; however, first making stops to Galiano, Mayne, and Pender Islands.

The south end of the island brings out the creative side of people, as there are a great number of artists in the area.

The island's visitors spend time hiking, bicycling, beachcombing, bird watching, picnicking, swimming, kayaking, or browsing the boutiques and antique shops found in Ganges and Fulford Harbor, the island's southern port.

Olive oil is the staple of almost, if not all Greek plates. Olive oil is found all over Greece, as well as the trees that bear the fruit. It has ties to both religious and folk beliefs, and is used as Greece's official addition to any plate that needs that extra "touch" of Greek taste.

Food and holidays are both very sacred to the people of Greece. The most extravagant meals are held during Holidays, such as Christmas.

The Greek Christmas celebration lasts for thirteen days, from Christmas Eve until Epiphany, January 6, the day that the Magi arrived in Bethlehem, bringing gifts to the Christ child.

Bread is the most important of the Greek holiday foods. Historically, flour and yeast were scarce and expensive and thus saved for special meals. Traditional items, such as Christmas bread or stravropsomo, a fruit-filled loaf, decorated on top with the sign of the cross and Chistopsomto or “Christ's Bread”, a leavened bread made of flour, sesame seeds, and spices, such as anise, orange, cloves, and cinnamon accompanied by dried figs, are eaten on Christmas Eve.

Other traditional Greek Christmas sweets include thiples, fried dough strips dripped with honey, kourabiedes, holiday butter cookies, kataifi, phyllo-wrapped confections made from cinnamon and sugar and drizzled with honey, melomacrona, popular honey cakes, and the ever-popular sweet pastry, baklava.

The Greek also have their own set of habits that they fulfill at mealtimes, which they take very seriously. For example, meals are always held at specific times of the day. Breakfast is held bright and early at 8 AM, lunch not until around 1 PM or so, and supper can be at either 8 PM or 10 PM.

A typical Greek meal would always start with an appetizer, which usually turns out to be a salad. Feta cheese, olives and tomatoes are commonly seen in them. Wine will also almost always accompany the main course. Robolla is a popular choce for the main course, a white wine hailing from Cephalonia.

When the main course DOES come around, though, it could be any number of delicious plates. However, the Greek national dish is perhaps the Souvlaki. t is a blend of lamb or beef and seasonings, seared and stuffed in a pita topped with sliced and diced tomatoes, onions and tzatziki, then served with a yogurt sauce. Moussaka is normally eaten along with a red wine like Agiorghitiko while Styphado is eaten with a heavy red wine such as a dry Mavrodaphne.

Baklava is also by far the most popular Greek dessert - it is a multi-layered pastry filled with crunchy nuts and oozing with honey syrup. It is made up of little Filo squares filled with a walnut, semolina and honey mixture and garnished with honey and grated orange peel.

As far as I can see, Greek foods and culture have not greatly impacted Nova Scotia's own dining habits and foods. However, Athens is one of the most well-known and most popular restaurants on Quinpool. It is a Greek restaurant with a wide variety of meals.

Some people may believe that poutine is a "laughable" invention, unfit to be called more than a recipe for food. However, don't we need food to survive? Sure, there are other (and more healthier) food choices out there, but poutine is different. We have many other types of food out there, but how many others are instantly recognizable to being Canadian? So already we have something that makes people think of Canada. People don't really do that kind of thing with something like basketball, or insulin.

Also, even though it is packed FULL of calories, that could be beneficial to many people out there. Body-builders, for example. A serious body-builder will need to consume roughly about 10,000 calories a day for their demanding lifestyle. Poutine is chocked full of what they need, in a meal not too big for them to finish. It probably doesn't have 10,000 calories in it (what would be horrible), but it has enough for them for one meal at a consumption rate of 10,000 calories per day.

Poutine has many other abilities, such as creating many very enthused poutine enthusiasts, traveling Canada to find Poutine in as many places as possible. You can only see things like this in sports, such as football. There's probably not people out there who go to as many stores as they can, trying to find many different types of UV degradable plastics out there on the market. People buy deep fryers, special fries, imported cheese curds, and grade A brand gravy made with a secret recipe, just to have a delicious bowl of grease.

So, there you have it. Insulin helps diabetes victims, the light bulb helps us see, and the telephone helps us talk to each other from great distances. But can those three inventions instantly be thought of as a Canadian invention? How about a pivotal device for body builders? Or how about having a cult following? No? What if you put them all together? Still not one thing? They're all great inventions in their own respects, but poutine has so much to offer to those to dare to go out on a limb and give it a go, reaping it of it's rewards to the public.
