| | 2008 Vancouver Auto Show Muscle Cars | | 2008-04-01 12:08:00 | | VANCOUVER -- Automakers are facing a strange dilemma these days: Consumers say they want green fuel-sipping, eco-friendly vehicles.But those who can are still plunking down their money to buy high performance cars and SUVs that have the carbon footprint of a sasquatch."I think we can all observe what's happening,'' says Barry Engle, who took over as president of Ford of Canada in February."Up until now there certainly seems to be a preponderance of consumers who, on the one hand express interest in being more environmentally friendly and on the other hand are completely unwilling to give up any performance.''Perhaps it's not surprising after all. Public opinion polls have suggested people are concerned about climate change and want to do something. But other data shows they're unwilling to change their consumption habits.That's left some automakers between the rock of increasing government pressure to supply green models and the hard place of a pitiless market that wants what it wants. | | By: Autos Space | | |

| | Top Vancouver Internet Marketing Consultant Advises on SEO Mistakes You Must Avoid! | | 2007-11-30 00:41:00 | | By now, you may already realize that SEO is an ongoing process for every business that chooses to be online. According to Think Profits.com Inc., a top-rated Vancouver Internet marketing consultant firm, this continuous process is due to many factors such as the market changing constantly, search engines changing their ranking methods, new players entering the market, site rankings fluctuating, and so on. With the never-ending change of SEO events on the Internet, could you be making costly SEO mistakes you don't even know about? There's a simple solution to knowing where your online business stands at all times. But I will share that with you at the end of the article. Right now, I want to alert you to a few major SEO mistakes made by many business owners, and even web design professionals, which our leading Vancouver Internet marketing consultant points out are common mistakes working against your website and SEO efforts. Displaying Your Text and Content as Graphics When you put your words into graphic format (JPEG or GIF) or Flash format, you effectively render those words invisible to search engines. Sure, there may be times when it's necessary to do this, like when designing a logo. But if you use keyword-rich titles and sub-titles in graphic format, you're wasting a good SEO opportunity. You can always find ways to achieve a similar look with regular text formatted by a style sheet. You will also want to make note of SEO-friendly PDF rendering techniques. For instance, a PDF generated by scanning a document--like a newspaper article--would not get indexed because the scan is image based. However, if you typed out an article and generated the PDF using PDF rendering software, then some search engines (including Google) will be able to read and index that content, using today's technology. An alternative approach would be to create regular text-based web pages for your article. For instance, if the article were ten pages long, then you could conceivably c | | By: All of SEO | | |

The Aerie British Pacific Properties, the original developer of West Vancouver’s signature residential area, is designing and building a collection of penthouse style townhomes.Published in Westcoast Homes & Design in Sept 2007. As West Vancouver’s British Properties residents are already aware, theirs is an ieghbourhood world-famous for its unique mountainside setting, spectacular ocean and city views and estate-quality homes. And now, for the first time in its 75-year history, the original developer, British Pacific Properties, is designing and building a groundbreaking collection of luxury penthouse-style townhomes. These will incorporate the same level of craftsmanship, amenities, fnishing, materials and designer fixtures as the company’s traditional homes. It will be called the British Properties Aerie townhomes.With only eight units in each of the two phases, each designed to capitalize on the breathtaking signature views that have made this the West Coast’s neighbourhood of choice since the 1930s, The Aerie British Properties guarantees privacy and exclusivity. And for those who are seeking a more carefree lifestyle but want the quality, craftsmanship and finishing that goes into British Properties’ traditional single-family estate homes, The Aerie could be what you’re looking for.Located above Colingwood private prop school in British Properties’ Taylor’s Lookout neighbourhood, the Aerie residences range in size from 2,000 to 4,500 square feet, meaning buyers will not sacrifice space for the low-maintenance of townhome living.

VANCOUVER – Howls of pain are the last the world hears of a newly arrived immigrant in dramatic video released Wednesday.The images are so explosive Robert Dziekanski's mother, who hasn't seen the whole video, has been driven into seclusion to avoid seeing it repeated on newscasts, her lawyer told The Canadian Press.But they also raise serious questions about why the police resorted to using the Taser only seconds after encountering the non-violent man last month at the Vancouver airport, and it contradicts what police said happened that night.

| | Vancouver Canucks Barely Out-Suck The Edmonton Oilers | | 2007-11-15 05:33:00 | | photo courtesy of Jonathan Hayward/APThe Vancouver Canucks were barely able to surpass the lousiness of their Northwest Division rival Edmonton Oilers last night, losing a scoreless game in a shootout, 1-0. Losing to an offensively-retarded team that only managed 19 shots on goal---most of them weak and easy to stop---is a tall order, but the Canucks were able to make it happen, rewarding the hard work of goalie Roberto Luongo with another pathetic defeat. Sure, they earned a point by dragging the game to overtime, but at least they still failed to score a goal in regulation."It's tough to go out there every night and not score a single point, but sometimes we get it done," said an anonymous Canucks player rumored to be center Henrik Sedin. "Roberto looked great out there tonight, so we had no choice but to give him absolutely no scoring support. That's the kind of teammates we are."The Oilers, on the other hand, gained two points on the Minnesota Wild, who are in second place in the Northwest and who Edmonton plays tonight. This matchup will prove to be another exciting, scoreless game filled with frustrating neutral zone traps and toothless, uncoordinated offensive attacks.
