Farsi

Hi, is there anyone here who speaks Farsi and has a little bit of free time to help me with a translation?

I have a very good friend who is sick right now at Lions Gate and experiencing severe emotional hardship. I have written her a letter in English. She can speak and read English but her comprehension is pretty low and I want to make sure she understands my words. I ran the letter through Google translate and then am hoping someone has enough time to make the corrections so that it makes sense. Hopefully this will be less work than translating directly but if you'd rather do that, that's great.

The letter is about a page.

Please email me vancouverabbey (at) gmail or reply with your email.

Thanks in advance :)
I don't know how many people have children or what not here.. but this benefits all in my opinion anyway.  It is a plan for government funded childcare in BC which will mean lower fees for families to receive quality care.  It also means decent wages for early childhood educators who on average are making about 20000/year.  As a result, educators will stay at their jobs and provide stability for the children.

There is an online petition that you can sign here

Square Cake Ring Mold

Hi everyone,
I am thinking of starting a baking project soon that requires the use of a 6 inch X 6 inch square cake ring.
I haven't baked in a while and I wonder what are some baking supply stores in Vancouver that might carry a set of square cake rings or adjustable cake rings. I know there are some sites where I can purchase them online, but if I can find a location that carries what I need, then it would save lots of time.

An example of a set of cake rings: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/417kED1FBPL._AA300_.jpg
An example of an adjustable square cake ring: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/adjustable-square-cake-cutter-ring-mold-115070

Thanks in advance!

Translink Trip Planner Feature

I just learned about a relatively new feature on the Translink Trip Planner, and thought I would share it, because I didn't know about it, and it's a useful feature.

Have you ever typed in your departure and destination locations into the trip planner, and haven't gotten any results because you have to walk more than two minutes 5 km from the bus stop, thus the trip planner deems the trip impossible via transit? Well, now you can change this! On the trip planner's main paige, there is now a drop down menu called "Standard Search Settings", and you can choose the setting "Allow More Walking". Now, the trip planner will realize that you are capable of walking ten minutes instead of coming up blank!

Place for rent?

My boyfriend is looking for a place ideally June 15th but also July 1st, bachelor or one bedroom that is around 750.00 a month (stuff being included would be awesome as well). He doesn't mind it being a basement suite but the ceilings need to be pretty tall, as he's six feet four inches and the bed/room would need to fit a queen size bed. If anybody knows of anything in the Commercial, Hastings Sunrise or Main Street area, we would be very appreciative if you could point us in that direction. We are on craigslist and looking in all the usual places as well as driving around those neighborhoods.

Thank you kindly!

shooting range?

Hey vancouver peeps,

kind of a weird question - while watching an episode of the real housewives of vancouver (yes, i am embarrassed) there is a part where they go and shoot fancy guns in the woods - I am really wondering where this place is in the lower mainland, or if maybe they went somewhere south of the border - according to my boyfriend there is no such place in the area, but I want to know because I would love to take him to it for our anniversary (romantic, right?)

thanks for any info!

Vets

Hi all. I am puppysitting for a dog from Powell River right now. Can anyone recommend any vets who are reasonably priced should there be an emergency? In Vancouver please. Also if you have experience with vets that will take a deposit on payment... His owner left me with $200 for an emergency and that should be enough for most basic things but if he requires an overnight stay or stitches or something I don't think it'll cut it and it may take a couple days to get ahold of the owner and have him send more $. Thank you!
