A number of years ago Gord and Nancy Bell were operating a cottage resort in the Muskoka Ontario region (http://www.north-muskoka.com) when a light went on. Why not use a concept that has worked for their own business to help others grow their business at the same time. In this case it was the realization of the power of the internet to market their own Beauview Cottage Resort (http://www.beauview.com) that lead them to create the award winning Ontario accommodation and vacation directoryhttp://www.cottage-resort.com.Cottage-Resort.com has to be seen to be believed. It lists more than 250 subscriber hospitality properties including Ontario resorts, country inn's, lodges and housekeeping cottage resorts.More importantly Cottage-Resort.com directory provides targeted information so you can easily search categories that match your vacation requirements.

Chevrolet Trailblazer 2005: The Weekly Driver Review
With the addition of the 5.3-liter, 325-horsepower V8 extended cab (EXT), eight Chevrolet Trailblazer models are on the road in 2005. And as the largest and most powerful Blazer available, the new EXT has plenty to offer.It's comfortable and provides a confident drive. It offers vast cargo space, has an attractive two-tone interior, a well-designed console and boasts of plenty of impressive option packages.But sometimes subtle qualities or subtle deficiencies are more impressive or problematic than a vehicle's overt characteristics.So it is with the new Blazer. While recently showing the car to several friends, one sat in the second row of seats. Surprisingly, his head easily hit the roof.
My friend is 6-foot-3, and while that's tall, he's not a giant by any stretch."I've got a Scion and there's plenty of rear seat headroom," my friend commented.The quick analysis made a good point. As the largest and most powerful Blazer available, shouldn't a 6-foot-3 person sit comfortably...

The first thing that comes to mind in the lines of early recreation was of course the bike. This for all practical purposes was really the only other form of transportation besides walking that we had as kids in order to get to where we wanted to go. Do you remember those days? Bikes back then were pretty simple with only one speed and the ole back peddle braking system. They did eventually come out with the 3 speed which was really exciting for us.
Some even had the new handle bar brake levers. After that, about the only other real excitement was when they introduced the banana seat. That was cool as you could ride two people much easier and more comfortable. We also put the baseball cards on...
