Extractions: Manitoba is the easternmost of the three Prairie Provinces. Comparatively level, Manitoba generally ranges from 490-ft./150 m to 980-ft./300 m above sea level. Baldy Mountain is Manitoba's highest point, at 2727 ft./831 m. Agricultural land lies in a triangle, bordering Saskatchewan and the U.S., cutting diagonally across lake Winnipeg. The northern 3/5 of Manitoba is Precambrian Shield. In northernmost Manitoba lies tundra and permafrost (permanently frozen subsoil). All waters in Manitoba flow to Hudson Bay. Before settlement, a large area of southern Manitoba was flood plain or swamp. An extensive system of drainage ditches had to be constructed throughout south central Manitoba to make the region suitable for cultivation.

Extractions: Encyclopedia Manitoba Easternmost of the Prairie Provinces, Manitoba is bounded on the N by Nunavut (with a northeast shoreline on Hudson Bay), on the E by Ontario, on the S by Minnesota and North Dakota, and on the W by Saskatchewan. The south and central part of Manitoba was once covered by Pleistocene Lake Agassiz ; as its waters receded into Hudson Bay, it left behind numerous lakes (the largest being Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Winnipegosis) and rivers (including the Nelson, Churchill, and Hayes) that flow northeast into the bay. In some places underlying rock formations were swept bare; in others they were covered with rich deposits of black loam. An expanse of almost uninhabited tundra surrounds the port of Churchill. Extending south from Churchill and east from Lake Winnipeg, the topography is that of the Canadian Shield ; limited areas have been cleared for general farming and dairying, and mineral and timber resources have been partly developed. Southern Manitoba is dominated by lakes, with Lake Winnipeg paralleled in the west by Winnipegosis and Manitoba. Most of the province's population is concentrated in the river valleys south of these lakes. To the west and north of the Red River valley, the land rises in an escarpment extending into the plateaus of the Pembina, Turtle, Riding, Duck, and Porcupine mountains. Much of this heavily forested area has been set off as reserves, and the Riding Mt. area is a national park. Winnipeg is the capital and the largest city, accounting for over half of the province's population in its metropolitan area. Other important cities are

Extractions: Manitoba: Geography Easternmost of the Prairie Provinces, Manitoba is bounded on the N by Keewatin Region of the Northwest Territories (with a northeast shoreline on Hudson Bay), on the E by Ontario, on the S by Minnesota and North Dakota, and on the W by Saskatchewan. Because of its central location it is a major national transportation center. The south and central part of Manitoba was covered by Lake Agassiz in prehistoric times. As its waters receded into Hudson Bay, it left behind numerous lakes (Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Winnipegosis) and rivers (Nelson, Churchill, and Hayes), which flow northeast into the bay. In some places the underlying rock formations were swept bare, and in others they were covered with rich deposits of black loam. Miles of almost uninhabited treeless tundra surround the port of Churchill. Extending S from Churchill and E from Lake Winnipeg, the topography is that of the Canadian Shield; limited areas have been cleared for general farming and dairying, and the mineral and timber resources have been partly developed. The southern part of Manitoba is dominated by lakes, with Lake Winnipeg paralleled in the W by Winnipegosis and Manitoba.

Extractions: "Theres no trying to pinpoint it. The usual sniff under the armpits, or cupping my palms in front of my mouth and breathing into them to catch the smell of my breath, is like trying to scoop an iceberg with a goldfish net. And its not a simple condition of typical body odour. I mean, everybody has some natural scent and even the prettiest covergirls wear deodorant and perfume. And its not because I am fat that foul odours are trapped in the folds of my body. No, my problem is not a causal phenomenon. There are no simple answers.

Extractions: 7. HILLMAN EXPRESS BEHIND THE COVERS This album was a transitional and trans-Atlantic venture - hence the name Prairie to Soho on side one. Some of the songs were written while Barry was still with the group. As a result much of the material was written to feature his fiddle. The songs from the first sessions were recorded at Winnipeg's Century 21 Studios and to these we added four songs recorded in London's Gooseberry Studios at the end of our first tour of England. Front Cover: We posed for these photos wearing the patched chamois leather outfits we bought in London and had worn for much of our tour of clubs in the North East. We had recently imported grass-thatch wallpaper from Asia to cover our dining room walls and it was a remnant from this on which we pasted our photos laid out in the shape of an "H", and framed with stray pieces of bamboo-like grass. The centre photo featured our new Ovation acoustic guitar. Sue-On created the Indian-style beaded jewelry that we both wore. Back Cover: Since we had written all of the songs on the album, we displayed the lyrics on the cover. The
