The Boathouse, located at 116 Gordon Street, Guelph, Ontario, is a single-story wood frame recreational facility that was constructed beside Speed River around 1930. It was built for Edward Johnson, a well-known opera singer. Since its construction, the Boathouse has been used not only to shelter boats, but it has also served as a concession stand, a dance hall, and a Navy Cadet Headquarters. Currently, for more than 130 years, the Boathouse has been used as a primary venue for aquatic recreation in Guelph.
It is believed that the first boat house was constructed in 1876 by a Mr. O Coulson. In 1879, Edward McKeague opened a boat rental business operating out of the boathouse and by 1885, William Johnson, the uncle of opera singer, Edward Johnson, took over as manager of the boat house. The boat house was dependent on the Gow dam forming a pool of water in the river.
In 1895 the Speed Canoe Club was formed and met in a hall every Thursday evening above William Johnson’s boat house. The members canoed a mile and a half up river to Victoria Park and returning at midnight, they formed an armada, locking arms and canoes together, singing together until they reached the boat house. During William Johnson’s proprietorship of the boat house, the Speed Canoe club was one of the most active social and sporting organizations with a membership of 250 people between 1895 to 1900.

Breakestra is a funk music project founded by Miles Tackett and based in Los Angeles, California. Breakestra was first formed in 1997 as a strictly live ensemble playing "covers" of funk, soul, and jazz breaks that had been sampled in late 80s & early 90s hip-hop seamlessly, blended into each other in the same style that early hip hop DJs would do in the pre-sampling days of the 1970s when they would DJ records at block parties.
Tackett, also known as "Musicman", records, composes, plays bass, upright cello, guitar, keyboards and drums. He also sings along with the other front man Mix Master Wolf. The style in which Breakestra plays ive setting & on record is much influenced by late 60s and early 70s funk & soul-jazz music and the respective samples that were used in late 80s/early 90s hip hop as The Live Mix, Part 1 and The Live Mix, Part 2 show.
After releasing their first 7 inch single "Getcho Soul Togetha" (an original composition in fact) in 1999 on Stones Throw records and two full-length albums of mostly covers and sample-filled breaks, Breakestra put out Hit the Floor in 2005 on Ubiquity Records, which included all-original recordings fusing elements of hip hop, funk, and soul. Tackett put together another original full length, "Dusk Till Dawn" in late 2009 that featured guest rapper Chali 2na, the late DJ DUSK & soul vocalist Afrodyete "the african goddess of love".Tackett continues to bring different incarnations of Breakestra out on tour when not working on projects in his home studio.

Take a tour of Boating in Central Park in New York City -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats. In New York City's Central Park, magic is never hard to find. A popular Central Park activity is a day of boating on the lake. Spectacular views of both idyllic nature and city skyscrapers make the Central Park experience unique. Trees shroud peaceful waterside enclaves. Kayaks and rowboats float upon the quiet lake. Open from April to October, the boathouse offers daytime rentals and a lakeside restaurant.
The Lake and the Boathouse are among the busiest attractions for visitors and tourists who come to New York to see Central Park. The Lake is a large body of water in the southwestern area of the Park. At the northern end of the Lake, accessible from the 72nd street entrance near Fifth Avenue, is the famous Boathouse. The Boathouse restaurant is a great place to have lunch or dinner in the spring, summer or fall. Fall is especially beautiful when the leaves are changing and the foliage displays a lot of different colors. There's both indoor and outdoor seating. Service is available on the Lake side, but there's also a small counter area in the back where you can order food and then take it and sit down in a patio area. You can also rent a rowboat or a Venetian gondola at the boathouse. C...

Buyin' a pack of Winston Lights
at the news stand and five and dime
I caught a borrowed glance at the problems of the world
Everything either too high or low
Am I country enough or too rock-n-roll
And God bless poor Anna Nicole
Can't find no shelter from the storm that's coming on
Yeah stick together, or just die like the other dogs
I just can't weather this feeling like I don't belong
In the midst of helter skelter, I just can't find no shelter for The Wolf
Oh, no no
I keep on writing my songs to sing, along this two bit smoke parade
I never wanted the money, and I never wanted fame
Like everyone else who rides my name
Who's poised to push right me in front of that train
And make out like pirates, while I sink in the rain
Can't find no shelter from the storm that's coming on
Yeah stick together, or just die like the other dogs
I can't weather this feeling like I don't belong
Oh, the midst of helter skelter, I just can't find no shelter for The Wolf
Ohhh, no no nooo
{ Just can't find no shelter }
No, na no, na no, na no, na no, na no, no
{ Just can't find no shelter }
I just can't find no shelter for The Wolf
Oh, no shelter, from the storm that's coming on
Yeah stick together, or just die like the other dogs
Oh, I just can't weather, this feeling like I don't belong
Oh, the midst of helter skelter, I just can't find no shelter
Oh, the midst of helter skelter, I just can't find no shelter for The Wolf
