Grateful for the opportunity to vote today in the advance polls. Praying for change, within and without. You are not the same, nor are you another. – The Buddha The Buddha is saying that we change from moment to moment. Personality is not cast in a rigid mold; the whole secret of personality […] Don’t think this will fly at my workplace, but I’m sure the tech companies will be snapping them up. This restful workstation is designed by Studio NL out of Greece. New seating at UBC. Great for “study” periods. Sweet little container garden in the middle of Olympic Village.

Chefs from UBC and the Alma Mater Society will prepare a sustainable, family-style community dinner on Main Mall using some locally sourced UBC Farm items. White linen, tableware, glassware, and candles will be set for tables of 14 and music will be performed by students from the […] I am very lucky to have two wonderful, eternally young parents.
