Dear Family, Friends, and Acquaintances

Community centre associations are non-profit organizations (some are also registered charities) that help provide services for their local community. These associations are made up of local community minded individuals who donate their time and energy for the betterment of the community.

In 2013 both Vision Vancouver and NPA parks board commissioners held a meeting “in camera” (in secret) voting to evict 6 local community centre associations. As President of one of these evicted community centre associations, I have spent the last year in court fighting this eviction. Frustrated by the slow and costly legal process me and my team on Vancouver 1st are seeking to remove and replace these politicians by electing knowledgeable, real people who care about their communities.

I am here to ask you to please support me and the Vancouver 1st party in the upcoming civic election.

If you have ever gone to a community centre to use the fitness centre, take fitness classes or enrol your children in daycare, preschool, before and after school classes, hot lunch program, breakfast program, maybe you have taken seniors dancing, attended a Canada Day celebration, or any of the exciting activities and events at your local community centre, it’s entirely likely they have been provided by the local community association.

With your help, with your vote or maybe even by volunteering your time, we can keep our local community associations where they belong, right here in our communities.

In November put your neighbourhood first and vote Vancouver 1st .

Project: Motorola DCT3416

My brothers Motorola DCT3416 died, and I figured I would attempt to fix it. I want to start out by saying I know very little about PVR's, other than somewhere buried inside is a standard computer hard drive. While dropping off the DCT3416, my brother informs me that it doesn't turn on, and that it makes this clicking noise. My first assumption is that the HD is corrupt and or damaged and preventing the machine from booting. Replacing the internal HD should produce a simple fix, so lets go about doing just that. Replacing the internal HD is going to be slightly more complicated than originally anticipated as the rear of the DCT3416 has 3 tamper proof/security screws, which I do not have a tool for. Instead I used a series of pliers, and 10 minutes later had all the screws removed. Here is what the tamper proof/security screws look like, once removed. I should add that there is also a plastic security tab, just above the IEEE 1394 jacks, which disintegrated when I attempted to

Project: Netgear GS116

Truth be told, this repair was done quite some time ago and is actually part of my structured media home wiring project, which is still ongoing. 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
