Reality TV Fur Trade Canoe
Posted on the Duck Works Magazine site is a log documenting construction of a 26 ft Fur Trade canoe commissioned for a French-Canadian Reality TV show. The author, Adam Wicks-Arshack of Spokane, Washington worked with John Lindman of the BarkCanoe Store to build this hefty boat (including doing all the lashings himself...slave labour I tell ya!). Here are some shots of their work.
I recognized the logo and found out that this boat was commissioned for the French Canadian reality show, Destination Nor'Ouest 2: In the footsteps of MacKenzie.
The first show, Destination Nor'Ouest recreated the journey from Lachine (Montreal) to Winnipeg tracing the authentic fur-trade route with an all francophone crew. Here's a YouTube promo clip. It only aired on French TV here in Canada but I missed it (no cable TV). Picking up where the 1st series ended, this second journey attempts to follow the 1793 route of the explorer Alexander MacKenzie to the Pacific Ocean.
From this page, I learned the journey was completed successfuly as is set to air sometime in 2009. In the meantime, there is a Picasa Album showing some nice pics of the journey

TV Beds – The Ultimate Bedroom Cinema Experience
TVs are now common place in bedrooms across the country. Usually fitted to a wall or placed on top of a cabinet or chest of drawers, watching TV in bed can be a great way to spend a lazy Sunday, watch a late night film or catch the early morning news when you wake up.
If you like a minimalist design in your bedroom however, a TV, along with their many wires, can make a room look rather untidy – not to mention that finding a space in your room where the TV is at a good angle to your bed often providing a layout nightmare!
However, with a TV bed you can have your TV built into the bed itself. So with just the touch of a button you can have your TV appearing at the end of the bed ready to watch and, when you’ve had enough, you can make it disappear just as easily. TV beds are a minimalists dream; sleek, stylish and discreet, they provide the ultimate entertainment experience in your bedroom without the unwanted clutter.
TV beds are available in all manner of shapes, sizes and styles, with cheap TV beds easily available to buy online, including great beds on finance options available from specialist providers, such as TVBed.co.uk.
