Timmins is a city in northeastern Ontario, Canada on the Mattagami River. At the time of the Canada 2011 Census, its population was 43,165. At 2,961.52 square kilometres (1,143.45 sq mi), Timmins was Canada's largest municipality in land area until 1995, when the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo in Alberta, was created, but it remained the largest municipality in Ontario until 2001, when it was superseded by the newly amalgamated cities of Kawartha Lakes and Greater Sudbury. It is the 69th largest metropolitan area in Canada. The statistical boundaries for its metropolitan area coincide with its municipal boundaries.
Timmins was a company town. It was founded by Noah Timmins in 1912 following gold discoveries in the Porcupine Camp. By 1912 the Hollinger, MacIntyre, and Big Dome Mines were founded. The new town had already grown larger than the original mining camps to the east on Porcupine Lake. Situated 680 kilometres north of Toronto, the camp attracted men and women eager to find their fortune in gold mining. Starting in 1907, the area became home to dozens of prospectors who explored the areas around Porcupine Lake and the Frederick House River. The City of Timmins owes its birthright to the riches of the Canadian Shield. On June 9, 1909, Harry Preston slipped on a rocky knoll and the heels of his boots stripped the moss to reveal a large vein of gold, which later became the Dome Mine. This vein was several hundred feet in length and was 150 feet wide. Benny Hollinger and his partner Alex Gillies as well as Allen McMartinlater discovered the Hollinger Gold Mine which was founded in 1910.

Plot: Captain Ambrose comes from a long line of distinguished sailors...but is all too susceptible to seasickness. After the war, he buys himself a nautical command on shore; a decrepit amusement pier at the British resort town Sandcastle-on-Sea, whose prim town council has outlawed arcade games as a form of gambling! Running the pier like a naval vessel, the captain's determination to make it a modern, going concern meets steady opposition. But with an unexpected new ally, he pursues a remarkable scheme to liberate his "ship" from land authorities...

On September 7, 1999 my brother-in-law had this great idea of strapping a video camera to the dashboard of is car and tuning the radio to Q92 while driving around almost every single area in Timmins. Now 14 years later we watch the video and observe the things that have change around Timmins. You will be surprise at the things that were there at that time or not there. Also, don't forget to listen to the radio commercials on Q92 and the songs they were playing that year.
The Timmins Police Service and Chief sent out a strong message to high school students: Violence will not be tolerated by them, nor should it be accepted by our youth. Recent physical altercations prompted the Chief to call a media conference on January 31, 2012. Lydia Chubak tells us more.
Here is a tune for all of my family and friends in and from Timmins. The music and lyrics were written by David Hartt and some of you may remember him as Guy Martin, the keyboard and the original lead vocalist and founder of the band Longshot well before the days Shania joined. One thing that you may not be aware of with David Hartt is that he wrote many songs about our small towns, and the history of the people who lived in and for these communities throughout Northern Ontario. The lyrics from David in these songs I always believed to be stunning as I also believed David had a gift in telling these wonderful Northern Ontario stories and its people, in words and music. This song (Precious Memories) is about Timmins, and we recorded it in Round Sound Studies located in Toronto way back...
**UPDATE: The city council met and discussed the concerns people were having. Looks like more discussion about various parts of the strategy are under way. They will not be using the quote below any further. Timmins is getting rebranded and we don't agree with what the strategy is making Timmins out to be. http://www.timmins.ca/news-releases/timmins-branding-strategy Quote from the Article: "Tim Hortons, not Starbucks Ford F-150, not VW Bug John Wayne, not Hugh Grant Steak, not sushi Hockey, not ribbon dancing The Magnificent Seven, not Wuthering Heights" Our singer, Kylah Eide's youtube page: http://www.youtube.com/user/KylahEide Here is our satirical take on that section of the city's rebranding: Gimme ma Timmies n' keep on truckin' Keep your Kia, get away from my Ford Singin' songs...

http://workwithjot.com Flying is the safest way to travel - hear from a professional pilot You know, I've been flying professionally for 14 years and I'm amazed every time I see someone who's afraid of flying but will ride in a car. Flying is the safest way to travel. If you've ever ridden in a car with my wife you would agree with me. I love when I leave certain airports and see a sign that says "you are now leaving the safety of aviation" I can say that flying is the safest way travel based on any number of stats. We could start with the number of casualties from flying vs driving cars. The only reason we hear about plane crashes is that the media loves to cover them because they are RARE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q1xwhbgGwc
ancient forest of n'gai
offspring of abomination
evil fiends of darkness
spawn of the wicked demon
in dreams they beckon me
into the ancient forest
where lies a key
the gates of primordial chaos
fires blaze in the center clearing
in worship of the ancient gods
bodies writhe in a serpentine mass
indulging in the rites of chaos
i bend in acquiescence to the blackened throne
the gods of chaos await beyond the gate
cthulu awakens from his ancient sleep
no light shines through the forest trees
