yesterday evening i caught it taking on passengers at granville and dunsmuir it was running the 14 to ubc so there s a pretty big swath of vancouver it might show up in drawing second glances and

your first beer that is for my part that didn t come until i was in university and more interested in coming home from the united states with cases of fully caffeinated mountain dew after all the trent university campus is a twenty minute bus ride from downtown peterborough and the lcbo on sherbrooke is another five minutes away from the station it wasn t until i actually started living in downtown peterborough that i started taking advantage of the opportunities and i began with something that was significantly easier to find in peterborough than anywhere else back in 2002 and 2003 klb rasperry wheat beer produced by the then independent kawartha lakes brewing co klb went bankrupt in mid 2003 but fortunately its product line was saved through acquisition by the amsterdam brewing company of toronto thankfully another microbrewery and not one of the big nationals the can says that klb raspberry wheat is the beer that made peterborough famous and the design incorporates the endless farmlands of the sort that you will see when you motor north along highway 115 to get to the electric city it describes the beer as a balance of belgium wheat and german hops though i think belgian would have made more sense in context and incorporates an unfortunate typo when it talks about how pure raspberry essence gives this beer it s signature aroma and flavour perhaps you should see about fixing that up on the next print run amsterdam regardless though onto the beer itself this had been sitting in my refrigerator for two months but it was worth the wait for me klb raspberry wheat beer is a fairly deep amber lacks a particularly frothy head and should be drunk crisp and cold appropriate for a beer that is itself cold filtered as a result it s thoroughly translucent enough to easily read the text of wall mounted posters through the aroma of this beer is unsurprisingly dominated by raspberry so s if you don t like it probably best to get out entirely beyond a sweetness on the tongue as it goes down raspberry also dominates the taste of the beer itself and that s one reason why i like it it s one of what seems to be a small percentage of beers that stands out from the crowd that has a taste that can be described beyond beer i know there are people who denigrate fruit beers who see the use of fruit flavoring as some sort of weakness but i like my variety beers such as this in my experience aren t incredibly common and it s always good to have a field of options wide open now the downside if you re not in ontario this beer may be extremely difficult to get outside of ontario the lcbo is the only place i know to stock it and i ve certainly never seen it in british columbia or anything else brewed by amsterdam for that matter what makes it worse is that klb raspberry wheat beer comes in tallboys rather than bottles i discovered that this was a liability when i was unpacking the can of beer used for this review was actually one of two i brought back from ontario both sealed in ziploc bags for the trip and yet when i unpacked i found my freshly laundered clothes smelling rather like a brewery the second can was still sealed but was nevertheless crumpled the bag it was in was still zippered up but only a small puddle of beer remained at the bottom the only explanation i can think of was that the can had a slight manufacturing defect enough so

photo all the colors of the desert what can you say about a city hall well perhaps that its look is reflective of the city itself with enough poking and prodding and special pleading this might work in toronto where in the 1960s municipal government moved out of the ornate traditional old city hall into the sweeping towers of new city hall a building that will never look zeerusty and yet still looks like it came from fifty years in the future vancouver s city hall is apparently built in such a way that much of it would collapse in a major earthquake which is probably true for a disturbingly large chunk of the city as well new westminster s city hall is small compact and unassuming so it goes earlier this year i passed by the city hall of phoenix arizona it fits i think the gleaming sun over the doors is well representative of a sun that shines like it s northern summer in january the building itself has all the colors of the desert and there isn t a single pedestrian anywhere to be

curiouser and curiouser almost four hours ago the mars science laboratory including the car sized curiosity rover successfully launched from cape canaveral and is now on its way to mars with the russians still struggling to salvage the phobos grunt mission which has been trapped in earth orbit for weeks now after its engines refused to fire one can only hope that the hunger of the great galactic ghoul has been sated for now and that msl and curiosity will make it to the red planet if all goes according to plan this time next year the largest mars rover in history will be driving around gale crater and vaporizing rocks with its laser because it s about damn time we sent out a rover with a laser so it can blast annoying martians and through the wonders of spectroscopic examination gain new awareness of their material composition we are v r r iends ouch it s a welcome step forward for mars research particularly since there s now no longer any threat of the probe being cancelled because of economic factors what i m not looking forward to is the possibility that curiosity will be more grist for the mill of the unmanned boosters peanut gallery that is the people who almost seem to be offended by the idea of human space exploration or who think that calling spaceships canned monkeys is an endearing habit that totally makes people want to come over to their point of view the history of robotic mars exploration has been incredible all right it s incredible that we ve got as much out of robots as we have and the ultimate cost of all their scientific insights would probably be incredible as well there s one thing i m curious about that unfortunately curiosity won t be able to help me with it s the question of whether all the science done by all the probes that have ever been landed on mars over the last forty years could have been replicated by an astronaut actually on mars in one week or if it would be more like two weeks that rock had it coming image credit nasa jpl caltech i m not saying this to denigrate the people behind the actual mars probes mars is a forbidding environment full of challenges alien to earth and it s hard enough to build a machine that works properly let alone a machine that s rugged enough to keep on trucking in an environment that no human has any direct experience with yet the limitations imposed upon past probes as a consequence of building them to endure the martian environment had a definite effect on what they could actually do there remember sojourner the first successful mars lander after the original viking probes it was a technical triumph but that triumph wasn t free sojourner was not that much bigger than an xbox 360 had a maximum speed of 0 036 kilometers per hour and could operate as much as five hundred meters away from its lander over the eighty three sols that is martian solar days it was in operation sojourner took five hundred and fifty photographs and analyzed sixteen locations it was a technical triumph yes but it also sounds like the sort of work that a lone astronaut operating from a fixed base on mars could literally do in about an hour and get back to base in time for lunch i expect that curiosity will do good science and will help pave the way for future human exploration but it s inherently limited by the fact that it s a robotic rover at least partially dependent on a mission control which could be anywhere from three to twenty two light minutes away i m not sure what the unmanneders though there s got to be a better word for those people who support robotic missions and denigrate human ones want me to take away from their arguments what i usually end up taking from them is that they are willing to accept the return of a limited scientific payload in exchange for the expense of sending humans to do all this science themselves personally though i can t see myself coming around to that point of view i can t yet accept the notion that for a given amount of scientific returns it would be cheaper to use robots than astronauts robots leave humans out of potentially dangerous situations yes but we pay through the nose for the privilege nor do any of them from my perspective at least have the sort of psychological weight as the idea of boots on mars posted by phoebe barton at 13 50 no comments labels mars nasa space friday november 25 2011 photo broken reflection i thought this one was interesting i took it in december 2009 while on my way to work the reflection of ttc streetcar 4137 in the windows of the sun life centre at king west and university considering the news that s just started to come out of toronto i thought a broken reflection in particular was also appropriate in 2012 there won t be quite so many opportunities to take this kind of photo as there are now of course the lion s share of the ttc service cutbacks done in the name of hizzoner da mayor s demand that all city departments reduce their 2012 budget by 10 are being extracted from the bus system rather than the streetcars i guess buses that come reasonably often and have enough space to allow all the people aboard them to breathe is just gravy though with work soon to start on the evergreen line over here it really throws the difference between the toronto and vancouver transit systems into starker and starker contrast and toronto isn t the one that comes out looking good i will assure you that services will not be cut guaranteed rob ford october 8 2010 i the copyright holder of this work hereby release it under the creative commons

westminster as opposed to vancouver itself is affordability namely while i can afford to live in new west with the lifestyle that i want that being proximity to a skytrain station and services available within walking distance i found it considerably more difficult to find such a place in vancouver even with a recent rent increase i still pay less than the metro vancouver average monthly rent of 864 as per spacing vancouver according to the city of vancouver the average rent for a purpose built one bedroom apartment there was 1 041 a month in 2009 not necessarily unaffordable but it doesn t exactly leave all that much leeway for things like food and transportation and entertainment and savings here in new westminster i m able to live fairly comfortably and that s all i m really looking for even so as a renter i can t help but look with jaundiced eyes at the nature of the residential projects i see sprouting up across metro and new west is no exception while the transformed skyline created by the condo towers of plaza 88 was already there when i moved here similar projects are just starting to get off the ground earlier this week the new westminster news leader reported on the presentation for a proposal to build a six story 118 unit condo structure on royal avenue on the site of what is now rental apartments so it goes it s nothing new most likely the biggest effect it will have on me will be through the noise of construction at the same time i can t help but feel vaguely threatened by the prospect apartme...
