A few pictures on the finished portion of Carrall Street. It's great... I wish there were more bike routes designed like this.

The view from the rooftop pool at the Melville... it's one of those days when the outdoor amenity space actually does look like the render from the condo ad with all the hot singles chilling on the patio, lol.

GAS TOWN
A nice shot of the western half of downtown Kamloops, showcasing some of the many beaches we have here in River City.
A nice shot of the North Shore, including the 51 hectare McArthur Island Park, home to the McArthur Island Sports Centre (a nice 1200 seat arena), Norbrock Stadium, a golf course, BMX race course, numerous soccer fields and baseball diamonds and one of the largest skateboard parks in Canada.

Olympic Torch Unveiled for Canada's Games at Vancouver 2010
2010 Olympic torch unveiled
By Jeff Lee, Vancouver SunFebruary 12, 2009 8:52 AM
WHISTLER - If every Olympic torch is supposed to say something about the country in which its Games are being held, then the torch for the Vancouver 2010 Games says cold, bright, expansive and snowy.
With a flourish befitting the unveiling of an art sculpture or a long-lost master, the organizers of the Vancouver Games revealed Thursday their concept of what an Olympic torch should be.
Inspired, Vanoc says, "by both the lines carved into the snow by skiers shushing down mountains and the undulating beauty of the snowy Canadian landscape", the Vancouver torch is a long white and chrome staff utterly different from the racy blue curve of Turin, the red scroll of Beijing, and even the squat wood chrome cauldron of Calgary.
The first of 12,000 of the ski-shaped torches Vanoc will use in a 106-day, 45,000-kilometre journey across Canada made its debut Whistler's village square. It was unveiled with International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge, politicians and Vanoc CEO John Furlong present.
But the torch wasn't the only item revealed. Vanoc also made public the white, green and blue uniform each torchbearer will wear come the time they run their segment of the relay.
The first two torchbearers named, Patricia Moreno, 18, of Vancouver and Caleb Taylor, 35, of Regina, modeled the new Hudson's Bay Company-designed uniforms.
The two were selected by Coca-Cola and RBC, the two co-presenting sponsors of the torch relay.
The torch, nearly a metre in length, was designed by Bombardier, the Canadian aerospace and transportation giant. A team of scientists and designers began working on the project in November, 2007. Bombardier presented Vanoc with a concept last April, and received IOC approval in June. The team spent the summer and fall of 2008 developing the mechanics of the burner before laboratory testing in December.
The design moves away from a traditional cauldron style of flame that other organizing committees have used. Instead, Vanoc says this flame "will unfurl like a flag fluttering in the wind" because the torch has a unique 30-centimetre-long vertical flame outlet.
Bombardier's designers incorporated two unique Canadian items; a red maple leaf air intake cut-out that feeds the flame air, and an engraving of the Games motto "With Glowing Hearts", along with the French version.
The torch design has already proved a hit with Rogge, who in a prepared statement said it was "like Canada young, exciting, innovative, and welcoming to everyone who sees and holds it.”
“The design of an Olympic Torch is very important,” he said. “It cradles the Olympic Flame and its message of hope, the celebration of excellence, friendship and respect wherever it travels in the world."
Bombardier says the torch is made out of stainless steel, aluminum and a sheet moulding compound. It will be assembled in Canada from primarily Canadian resources.
Once the flame is lit in Olympia, Greece in late October, it will be flown to Victoria, the first stop on the cross-Canada tour. It will finish in Vancouver on Feb. 12, 2010.
