These jeans certainly not $50 off-the-rack ones. They’re a little more expensive than what you might typically pay, but I expect I’ll have them for a long time. They fit really well and they feel great on.They’re Agave and they’re handmade in California. I don’t think it would be appropriate to wear jeans with a ripped knee and frayed ends to work, but if you can find some stylish ones that fit you well, why not? more...
Rescue me
The calls come at the most inconvenient times. It’s like Murphy’s Law: we’ll be in the middle of a dinner party with a turkey in the oven and the pager will go off. more...Andrew Seymour
Leaving the U.S. was no small step. But Toronto native Andrew Seymour arguably landed a pretty sweet job when he took the GM duties off the plate of Canadians president Andy Dunn in January: the Canadians have growing ticket sales, a spruced-up stadium and energetic local owners willing to spend some cash.The 40-year-old Seymour had a well-established life in Fort Myers, Florida. He worked his first sports internship with the Fort Myers Miracle minor baseball club. more...

Albanese, now 50, is the first American CEO of the venerable London-based mining giant Rio Tinto PLC, which last year took over Alcan Inc. in a $38-billion deal. He went to university in Fairbanks, Alaska, for degrees in mineral economics and mining engineering. more...
La vida Barcelona
What B.C. could learn from Barcelona is living day-to-day rather than constantly thinking about the future. more...In the cards
We finally meet at the Cactus Club in Richmond, a couple of days after the March 2008 Canadian Open Poker Championship in Calgary, where Booth came in second, winning a cool 50 Gs.He emerges from a gigantic yellow Hummer in flip-flops, loose jeans and a black hoodie emblazoned with logos for Full Tilt Poker, a website he’s paid to support. A large gold ring with multiple diamonds catches the light as he offers his right hand, delivers his “cutie” line again and decorously leans in for a two-cheek peck. more...
