Urban Living RSS FeedsDiamond Parking - I note people have had ticketing problems with Diamond Parking. I recently again had one. Some time ago I also had an interchange with them. They did not follow through. I have again written of a fresh uneccessary ticket. I await result of this latest one. A class action may be available here. I am looking for some people willing to be on board a small health and justice research group that we would be able to indicate of some unethics or injustice that from input may just work to redress those situations.

The reason for this revolves around the use of certain ingredients or cooking methods for which I have a strong fondness for: cheese, grilled meats and seafood, yogurt, garlic, lemon, potatoes. And on the other hand, my dislike for anything that tastes like licorice such as ouzo and fennel, and the generous use of things such as mint, grapevine leaves, olives and eggplant that turns me off from many dishes in Greek cuisine. Over the years, I also grown to enjoy lamb meat which is a popular protein, though this tends to heavily depend on the quality and how well its cooked.

Food Sustainability - building awareness and does it affect your shopping/dining choices? - Here locally, I?ve recently learned of Eat BC! - that works to decrease our environmental impact, asking British Columbians to support local growers and suppliers in order to help the environment by reducing carbon footprints (due to shipping/fueling costs of food transportation). As well, I recently attended the Fourth Annual Farmade event at the University of British Columbia Farm. It was a festival/gathering to create a public forum, provide support and engage people in the discussion on the importance of the need for agricultural sustainability.

... "45 RPM" Screens at Vancouver International Film Festival 2008 - A New York disc jockey announces a contest to name 30 songs in 30 seconds. A trip for two to a rock and roll concert in New York City goes to the winner. By some fluke atmospheric condition, the airwaves travel 2000 miles to Goose Bay, Saskatchewan and to the ears of two youth desperate for a better life. For Parry Tender and his side kick Luke, winning the contest is their only hope of getting out of a remote northern Canadian town in 1960.
1960s period piece "45 RPM," written and directed by Saskatoon's Dave Schultz, was shot in Saskatchewan by producing partners Chad Oakes and Michael Frislev of Calgary's Nomadic Pictures, and co-Producer Anand Ramayya of Saskatoon's Karma Film. The picture introduces lead actors Jordan Gavaris and Justine Banszky as Parry and Luke. They deliver an honest portrayal of a trapped youth in small town Saskatchewan with a strong supporting cast including Michael Madsen, Amanda Plummer, Kim Coates, Terry David Mulligan, August Schellenberg and M... Neverending afternoon - part I. - NEVERENDING AFTERNOON
a gigantic force transfixed me to my bed and obliterated everything that went before. i'm alone. i'm failing amidst a hopeless world, so-called human beings are yapping inanities at each other just beyond the wall and i'm terrorized by death. i had been free, me, the mindless, crazed preschooler, one neverending afternoon, i had been bored or been musing, when i was still unaware that no mercy exists in this insanity they call the world. only i can redeem. my life. the agony overshadows everything and keeps telling me to shun all that isn't me. the lust for life is supreme and wants to overthrow the agony. a formidable force pins me to the bed, a formidable weakness destroys me, you forget everything, the agony shrieks, only the lust for life fights back, to have the next moment, that would take you into the one after that. i would only have to crawl a few metres, but then it's oh so cold as well, and i'm so weak i can't stand cold for hours on end, hung... Online Dating: Men Concealing Their Gender On Dating Sites With Fake ?Women Profiles? - Following a post I made on another blog regarding dating sites such as Plentyoffish I had emails of men complaining that it was hard for men to contact women online and that was the reason why there was fake profiles?. Fake profiles? I replied. I was told that there are a lot of men pretending to be women on dating sites. Are there any women pretending to be men? Apparently not!
Why some guys out there feel the urge to change sex online? What would be their reasoning? How on earth would they imagine their ?feminine self? online? How do they build their profile? Are they looking for other men? Are they closeted? Or are they trying to uncover some of women?s secrets while they are off guards?
1. There are a lot of different reasons
I noted 4 types of reasons why men do this. On gay web sites some men pretend to be lesbian women to live their fantasy of being a ?woman with another woman?.
On heterosexual sites that type of fake profile allows you to have fri... Another helpful hint.... - If you'd like a little more Vista info then just click on the link. This is about keyboards and mice, in case those are giving you a problem.
... Kitsilano Sushi - Vancouver, BC - We settled on Kitsilano Sushi - I know, not a very inventive name but it served as a bright beacon for us as we scanned the streets for something that met our needs in terms of location and the food being served. Unknown to me, it was a very popular place for dinner, judging from the mostly full dining area as well as a line up at least five people deep who were either placing takeout orders or waiting to pick them up. There were at least four people behind the sushi counter, which you see immediately upon entering the front entrance, as well as some staff whose main role appeared to be shuffling between the kitchen and tables, but with a lower emphasis on paying attention to the immediate needs of eating customers. Either they are in need of more bodies to man the fort, or feel that service should just be about bringing things to tables and clearing empty dishes away. Friendly, personal attention is not to be expected here - think more cafeteria service.

Spice Alley Korean Restaurant and Bar - Vancouver, BC - The burgeoning part of Robson Street in downtown Vancouver that is home to several Korean restaurants makes for a challenging array of choices when explicitly looking for a Korean meal. A notable range of quality and prices can be had, and along with the Japanese izakaya-style places in the neighborhood, you have a complex scene to try and satisfy both food and alcohol cravings. But judging from the frequent busy crowds that I?ve seen over the years through the front glass, Spice Alley seems to be succeeding with its offering that combines both an authentic lineup of Korean food and drinks. Though if I were to characterize Spice Alley, it probably holds greater strengths as a bar, that serves up food that traditionally goes well within this drink-first-eat-second setting.

Sushi Vancouver - Vancouver, BC - The name alone should tell you something about this place. Much like all the pizzerias (or ?pizza parlors? as our friends south of the border are apt to call them) that try to outdo their rivals by putting a series of letter A?s onto the beginning of their business name in an attempt to get to the front of the line when it comes to the Yellow Pages, the generically named Sushi Vancouver is just trying to get noticed. After a pair of visits, I can confirm now that unfortunately, I think it will be for all the wrong reasons.

... Dunbar Pizza and Grill - Vancouver, BC - I found a great example of this recently in the Dunbar neighborhood of Vancouver. A very homey, somewhat eclectic street (but no where near the level of say Vancouver?s Main Street or Commercial Drive), that flies under the radar for most of the city?s residents, is home to several restaurants with most of them being of the casual variety. With a relatively close proximity to the University of British Columbia campus, I am sure the numerous pizza, coffee and pubs that abound, make for some convenient pickings for students on the evening prowl. Just off the corner from 16th Avenue turning onto Dunbar, I immediately spotted two pizza joints. Having no idea which one was better, I simply went with the one that was easier to park nearby and I could see someone inside of. Through this unscientific decision process, Dunbar Pizza & Grill was the selection on this night.

... Chambar Belgian Restaurant - Vancouver, BC - Belgium. How such a small country, with a hat tip to the French, ended up being top quality producers of some of my favorite consumables is honestly beyond me. Chocolate. Waffles. Mussels and fries (moule frite). Beer. These are not just good offerings. These fall well within the realm of comfort food for me. Of course, Belgium food is much more than frites, chocolate, and waffles. With access to fresh ingredients and the sea, and with a storied food culture, the essence of Belgian food is adaptability delivered in a clear, unpretentious style. Food for the gourmet, and the gourmand. This approach to food is at the core of the menu offered at Chambar.

Tenhachi Japanese Restaurant - Vancouver, BC - Since opening their doors back on June 1st, 2007, Tenhachi has slowly built a loyal following, especially among the ex-pat Japanese community living in the city. By offering an authentic taste of home, it is a welcomed reprieve for those living abroad by allowing them to get genuine meals to cure those cases of homesickness that arise.

... Menya Japanese Noodle - Vancouver, BC - So I was strongly looking forward to the opening of Menya Japanese Noodle on West Broadway, near the Cambie Street intersection (the one with the dreaded, ongoing Canada Line construction), after hearing rumors that tonkotsu was their soup of choice. With the growing base of places to eat ramen building in the downtown west end, it was refreshing to see another option that was not located in the city core. Opening its doors on September 8th, I planned to wait at least a month to allow them to settle down, but a recent rainy day made me long for a nice hot bowl of tonkotsu ramen, so I broke with my intended plan.

... David Eby: Official loser. - For full post: http://thevancouvermanifesto.blogspot.com/
But alas, Vision Vancouver failed to nominate David Eby.
Who woulda thunk it? I thought David Eby was a shoe in. Who can resist that freakishly tall man with a soft-spot for housing social justice?
I certainly can't, especially when he offers to come to my house to talk himself up. No, that was not meant to sound condescending at all. I really was pushing for David.
I don't get it. What happened? To my knowledge, the only thing that David Eby could have done wrong is run a strong slate for housing and homeless issues. *gasp* may I maybe infer that Vision Vancouver's membership is too moderate to push a candidate like Eby through?
Now dare I ask Mr. Eby to run with COPE?
No, Dave really does lose face if he attempts to put together his fallen [short lived] political career.

Pojang Macha - Vancouver, BC - Like a phoenix rising out of the ashes, Pojang Macha emerged from site of what I had assumed was simply a makeover of the previous tenant - a decent Korean restaurant specializing in soondubu - that I had eaten in from time to time over the past year. Peaking inside one day during the construction lull (a sign outside said ?re-opening in September?), I saw drapes of orange plastic tarps everywhere and assumed things were underway for a flashy new setup. To my utter surprise, on a return visit this month after the doors were re-opened, I discovered that this bright drapery had not been torn down and was in fact the intended motif!

Where obscure varieties like Chancellor and Okanagan Riesling once reigned because they were considered winter hardy, you?ll now find Syrah, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Barbera.
But they aren?t stopping there. Growers are pushing the boundaries even further with late-ripening grapes no one would ever expect to be rooted in B.C. soil. If they are a success, they promise a whole new era in British Columbia wine.

... Donkey or Elephant?: The Impact on Canada after the Circus Ends - As Barack Obama and John McCain formulate their policy platforms, Canadians need to pay keen attention to the candidate?s views. Beyond American priorities, what are the current bilateral issues that will determine the shape of the Canada-U.S. relationship?
Key questions surround the future of NAFTA, the thickening border, energy, trade and environmental policy, as well as homeland security and defence. Where do Obama and McCain stand on these topics, and what will the reverberating effects of their policies be across the border? Canadian interests hang in the balance as we wait to see who moves into the White House.

----------------------------------... Kakurenbou Japanese Dining - Vancouver, BC - Over the past year, I?d seen online postings announcing openings for staff at this restaurant last fall and also this spring, so I was aware that something was in the works for a while, but never quite sure when the doors would actually open. Kakurebou Japanese Dining is another addition to the increasingly crowded izakaya scene on Robson Street, and opened at the end of June. Two months have passed which I thought was ample time to allow them to work out any growing pains with the menu and service, and thus made my first visit only recently. Incidentally, Kakurenbo means Hide-and-Seek in Japanese, though the characters they use on their signage is not the same as for this children?s game.
