Vans Supports Leeside

The other day my girlfriend and I went for a casual walk around Hastings Park. As we made our way from the Japanese 'Momiji' gardens to the Italian 'Giardino' gardens we couldn't help but be drawn to the Hastings skatepark. There was already a crowd of onlookers peering through the steel chain-link fence catching glimpses of skaters and bmxers as they popped in and out of the concrete structure. As we approached , I recognized an old friend, local skater Chris Timmer. It must have been over a year, I figured, since we had last seen each at another local skatepark Leeside. As we talked, he informed me that the legendary skate apparel company Vans, had just collaborated on Leeside Era 46 Pro, a running shoe that was in inspired by the Leeside skatepark. (Leeside, for those of you whom are unaware, is an abandoned tunnel here in East Vancouver that locals converted into an underground skatepark, literally and figuratively). After leaving Hastings skatepark, we decided to go check out Leeside, before returning home, and I decided to do some research on this Leeside Era 46 Pro.

Vans is donating all proceeds from the sales of Leeside Era 46 Pro, to the DIY Leeside foundation, for future upkeep and expansion of the Leeside skatepark.

I'd like to personally thank Vans for supporting my local riding spot, and my friend Chris Timmer for this great article idea.

This Netgear Prosafe 16 Port Gigabit Switch was part of a Craigslist lot I purchased, containing a bunch of computer equipment. Seeing as I had no need for this switch, at the time, it just sat in my office collecting dust. Once I started my structured media home wiring project I realized the 16 port Netgear could be quite useful, but after a few unsuccessful attempts at utilizing it I realized it was DOA. Here's the situation, when this switch is plugged in, an LED will signify the unit is on and working, however whenever an Ethernet cable is inserted into any of the available jacks, there is no LED activity or connectivity. I took to the world wide web and came across a few similar situations all of which indicated that my unit probably had a bad capacitor. To verify if this was indeed the culprit behind my non functioning switch I woul
