Summertime when I was growing up meant family camping trips. We’d pack up our van, head across BC, pitch our tents, and swim in lakes. It seems harder and harder to “get away from it all” as we grow older and have kids of our own. Quick trips aren’t usually that quick and take a lot of time to coordinate and execute. However, camping can still be last-minute Friday afternoon decision in some cases. I’ve…

  • Bruce Croxon: 'Canadian Entrepreneurs are as Smart or Smarter Than Anywhere in World'

    16 May 2012 | 1:43 pm
    Bruce Croxon says that Canadian entrepreneurs are "as smart, or smarter, than anywhere in the world." The Lavalife founder and star of Dragons' Den told the CBC this week that he finds it "ridiculous" that Canadian tech startups feel forced to move to Silicon Valley to grow: "Canadian companies go to the States to get their money or languish on the shelf because there isn't the support here," he fumed. While this problem isn't new to Canada, Bruce argues the situation has hit an all-time bad: "I've never seen the gap between good fundable digital entrepreneurs and available capital to back…

You could say that Nokia has basically built a competitive minimum viable product with a few basic features added in an attempt to re-capture some of the mobile market. The phone is only available at Rogers in Canada but is selling well worldwide. Sales are outpacing supply, especially for the cyan coloured version in the United States…

    One Word Different! Location, Location, Location Anyone who has ever thought about Vancouver real estate knows that location counts. The location will determine a very different outcome when you decide to sell and you may well ask how different can it be? Below are two examples of such a difference in results in what many consider a slow market. The word ‘prime’ comes to mind but let the numbers speak loud and clear in telling you that the location of your Vancouver property will predetermine just how ‘slow’ a market it is.

    Noise and Consensus In this city we suffer from those who choose to make noise.

In the last post a couple of comments flew in about how the Vancouver Real Estate Board stats seem to be something less or more than what they are.

The train station looked gorgeous as usual, and so different from the hoards of kiddies that were there just a week before for their annual Easter celebrations.

    17 Apr 2012 | 12:45 am
    It was another beautiful Spring weekend in Vancouver. We started a little earlier than usual and found a relatively quiet sea wall and beach in downtown Vancouver. We walked along False Creek and found a small urban grove of Cherry Blossom trees in early bloom. Naturally, we had to take some photos around those gorgeous Vancouver Cherry Blossoms before heading off to English Bay, where Desiree and Brian enjoyed a little snack by the water. english bay vancouver (5)english bay in vancouver (2)June 10 wedding 2012 Desiree (1)vancouver english bay (1)Daniel Ha is fast becoming recognized as one…

  • Kings vs Coyotes Game 2 Open Thread

    Sean Zandberg
    15 May 2012 | 7:00 pm
    TIME: 6:00 PM PST TV: TSN, RDS, NBCSN GAME PREVIEW: NHL.COM The Kings kicked the crap out of the Dogs in Game 1: 4-2 in the scoreboard and 48-27 on the shot clock. It was impressive to watch. Hell, even Dwight King made the normally composed Mike Smith come unglued minutes into the game. But these Kings, led by the Conn Smythe candidate Dustin Brown are the real deal. They have not lost a road game in these playoffs. The Coyotes need an opposite game to even match up with these guys. Like NHL.com points out, a big place for Phoenix to start would be on the power play, which is now 0-for-16.

  • 2012 IIHF World Championships: Canada vs Belarus Game Day

    Good grief. 2 am. So if you either stayed up, or woke up to watch this game, kudos. Me? Are you kidding? I will be watching the replay getting up at a reasonably sane time in the morning. So where do Canada stand in the tournament, you ask? A single point in this game will clinch them top spot in Group H, meaning that they will play the 4th place team from Group H in a quarter-final game Thursday. That means either Slovakia or France. Yeah, I am thinking that too. Likely see Cam Ward back in the crease for Canada this morning after Devan Dubnyk notched a shutout against Kazakhstan Saturday.

  • Canucks Player Autopsy: Chris Higgins

    15 May 2012 | 2:22 am
    Who Is This Guy? Chris Higgins. The Professor. Kiss Huggins (no, no, no, no), Higgy. The guy who plays like he smoked a bowl of crack before game time. The fearless wonder. The forechecking wizard. My new favorite Canuck. Position: Left Wing Shoots: Left Height: 6'0" Weight: 203 pounds (or less, depending on staph infection) Born: June 2, 1983 in Smithstown, New York Drafted: 14th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2002 Entry Draft. What Did He Do? Did any Canucks player spend more combined time on the 2nd and 3rd lines than Chris Higgins? I doubt it. He's such a versatile player. He…

    Get ready to see and hear a lot about the totally kickass 1994 semi-finals matchup between these 2 teams where this happened in Game 7: Is that an awesome call or what? Will it be a tight-checking boring series? Who knows. But these are division rivals. The teams combined for 26 goals for in 6 meetings this season. You never know what can happen in the playoffs. TIME: 5:00 PST TV: CBC, RDS Game / Series Preview: NHL.com Who am I rooting for? Easy. The Devils. Screw you Rangers! I am still bitter about 1994... Who do I think is gonna take it? Rangers in 6. How about you?

  • Will The Kings Win The Cup?

    Paul
    16 May 2012 | 2:06 pm
    from Stu Hackel of the Red Light, It’s still a good month before the captain of an NHL team hoists the Stanley Cup over his head and a lot can happen between now and then. But on the basis of the first three games in the Western Conference Championship, there is no more impressive team at this moment than the Los Angeles Kings. This isn’t to say that the Coyotes are dead desert dogs — although they have their tongues hanging out and are panting heavily. Nor is it to say the Devils or Rangers are destined to fall to LA, regardless of which one wins the east — although…

  • World Hockey Championships: Preliminary Round

    The World Hockey Championship tournament is underway in Finland and Sweden.  One preliminary group (Group H) played its games in Helsinki, Finland and the other group (Group S) played its games in Stockholm, Sweden.  Both groups consist of eight teams.  The top four in each group move on to the next round.  The World Hockey Championships are a poorly named tournament.  How can you have a world championship if some of the best players in the game are not available because they are in the Stanley Cup playoffs?  Nevertheless it is an interesting tournament as we see…

    Given his incredibly inconsistent performances, never mind the fact that his agent is Mark Gandler (who’s insisted to ESPN’s Craig Custance that his client won’t bolt for the KHL), the prospect of the following “marriage” makes me cringe, but, via RedWingsFeed, the Free Press’s Helene St. James broaches the subject anyway: the Wings are not able to target Zach Parise this summer, their best bet in terms of an unrestricted free agent forward who can score goals is…Alex Semin: Semin is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, and…

As stated a few days ago, Fedorov’s retirement and the questions as to whether his number should be retired by the Red Wings…aren’t black and white, let’s put it that way.\ Update: Fedorov is confirming the news to Sport-Express.

  • Out of Town Notebook: Eastern Conference Finals Playoff Preview

    Tom Wakefield
    15 May 2012 | 7:00 am
    New York Rangers (1) vs. New Jersey Devils (6) Season Series:  Rangers (3-2-1) What we learned about the Rangers in the Second Round: That Brad Richards, at least this year, is worth every penny New York is paying him. There is a lot of Joe Sakic and Steve Yzerman in Richards game this post-season.  The Rangers need Richards (and for that matter, Marian Gaborik, who had a terrific Caps series) to continue playing like this, as without him the team clearly doesn’t have enough scoring to win a playoff series. For that matter, we also learned that Michael Del Zotto has come all the way back…

    Phoenix Coyotes (3) vs. Los Angeles Kings (8) Season Series: L.A (3-1-2) What we learned about the Coyotes in the Second Round: That they’re Cinderella at the ball. Hard to give too much credit to a team that has been routinely outshot (-9.5 shots for/shots against differential in the playoffs) and only had one powerplay goal in the second round. Mike Smith has been terrific yes, but the Desert Dogs were fortunate Nashville found the Phoenix nightlife to their liking. Then again, there are a couple of notorious partiers on the Kings team… What we learned about the Kings in the Second…

New York Rangers (1) vs. Washington Capitals (7) Season Series: Tied 2-2 What we Learned About the Rangers:  It was more about what we were able to confirm than what we learned. Even with the addition of Brad Richards (who led the team in scoring in round one), this is a New York team built to keep goals out, not score them in bushels. Chris Kreider and Carl Hagelin could add that offense in time, but right now their biggest…

Really fun to watch him No need to ask who starts Game 5, it's Cory That PP...geez...it's night and day with Daniel on it The Canucks looked timid in the 1st period until Edler scored,…

No big deal.As if. Of course it is a big deal. It speaks volumes about what AV and Co is thinking coming into this elimination game. Botch is on a roll with his great reads, and his take on the situation can be found here. But as I wrote yesterday, choosing Schneider shows who the confidence is behind and Luongo who is clearly a proud man is gonna say the right…

When it comes to special diets, you may not think that the suburbs have much to offer. While it’s true that Vancouver does offer a broader array of dining options, there’s good news for folks here in the Tri-Cities who don’t eat gluten: you really can eat out here, and you don’t have to sacrifice taste.
