Where did you buy your scooter? I really want one but my mom thinks it's unsafe. I'm still going to get one when I can afford it. Maybe after summer, prices might go down?

I WANT A SCOOTER TOO!!! I just rented one yesterday from CycleBC and rode all the way to HorseShoe Bay. It was a Honda Jazz too. It was awesome. Stop and go traffic on the Lion's Gate during rush hour is kinda uncomfortable. My legs were a bit sore afterwards. But I would love to get one for myself. But do you ride it all year around? I would love a NEW one, but that's $$$$. Love to see you're enjoying yours!!!

you can change it yourself... theres is a drain plug to the left of the scooter underneath...just make sure you don't lose your plug and spring..then close it and put in new oil...if you have done over 2000 km you should change it right away....the oil stick, sticks out the right side of the scooter you can tell by its size and shape and thats where you put in the oil... there you go.. :)

Ultrasound equipment is developing with each passing day, and because
of it there is a great demand for experienced people who are needed for
almost all the handling of equipment in a hospital. It is not
exaggerating to say that they are right hand of the doctors.

If someone in your field or someone who shows genuine interests in your tweets starts following you on Twitter then follow them back. Following them back shows mutual respect and helps build relationships. However, you should be selective about who you follow. Some people follow every person they find on Twitter just to build followers. Stick to following people whose tweets are relevant to your interests.Genuine Twitter Followers

I have never lost traction in the rain. However, I also slow down significantly when entering corners.

Good point. But I think that probably supports the need for a tit-for-tat mode?

I grew up listening to KD and I love her but I have to say that she ripped off Buckley's phrasing on this one. Buckley had the knack of taking an amazing song and making it better. KD adds slickness (which I personally hate) but Buckley's is better and more original.

Interesting breakdown. This may sound simple but what you are asking for is hours and hours of work updating all the information for you on a daily basis. This stuff just doesn't magically collect itself. It needs a team of people verifying each bit of information so you aren't given false data. This is for a single song too. Just imagine how much work would need to be done for every Pink Floyd song let alone another band!

How much would you be willing to pay for this 'experience'? From the looks of what you ask it ain't going to be cheap.

David,

I was just looking at this article and it sounds like a great idea. I'm wondering if anything ever came of it. I'm not really sure where to look to find out as you say "we" are working on this api but I don't know who "we" are.

Anyway if it did get released I'd love to give it a spin.

Thanks,
Ben

I agree with you David. And I especially like KT's well-written and thoughtful note explaining why one would un-link. There's no point in networking if it's one-way. I will, however, give a "pass" to management recruiters for whom their connections are their "book of business."

I don't share my contacts David because I am a recruiter that works a local market. I am niched to one particualr sector of technology that just happens to be a very small market even though I am in a large city. People know me, and my reputation for being able to provide alent in this area of technology even when no one else can. I realize that people who are connected to me have access to my contacts...but it still helps me protect talented individuals that I represent cofidentially, from people who would just come to my connections to find "the best" because of my reputation for providing such. Just food for thought...

I just found a black widow spider right in my front yard. I have put it in a jar. I still can't believe that it is in fact a black widow spider but it looks exactly like the ones on line. Do you know if there is anywhere that I can take it to find out for sure?

David,

I block my connections.

To give people you have only recently met access to the profiles of people you have known for a very long time is unfair. Ultimately, you as a human being must be involved in any references or act of networking that may happen.

If I let you read the profiles of all of my connections, it could be misleading in many ways, mostly because things change and the relationship between myself and my connections is not shown on my profile.

I should hope that you would have the courtesy to call me and let me know what you are looking for.

You could even ask to share connections with me.

Anyone who asks me to share connections is sure to get a list of connections I feel is appropriate for them based on the conversation we have.

To give people a generic one layer look at your network and have no refinement over the delivery is just not professional networking. People know more about people than a paragraph can expose. So talk to the people, not the profile.

Feel free to add me to connect.

Call for email if you need it.

I have been riding a 2005 Honda Jazz for 2.5 years from Richmond to downtown for work. I have to go over the Arthur Laing every day, and it used to get to 60km/h. But recently the engine just slowed down to 50km/h even when I go down hill. I took it to a motorcycle mechanic and he could not find any fault with it, but could not explain the inability to reach top speed. Any one with a similar experience? I need to be able to get up to 60k on the Arthur Laing bridge. Thanks. ND (Richmond).

Hi, I am interested in getting a Honda Jazz scooter. I live in the Toronto area and was wondering if you know of any dealers here and how much a new one goes for? Also I'm a big guy 5'7 but I weight 258 so is my weight gonna be a problem with this scooter? Thanks, looking forward to hearing from you.
