My boyfriend and I will be relocating to Nanaimo from Ontario in September, we will be staying with our family until we get back on our feet. My boyfriend is thinking about going back to school to get into a Trade for a better job opportunity. (He's in Sales right now but we would prefer a career that is a bit more secure) I wanted to hear everybody's opinion on what Trade you would think he should get into that will gurantee him a job on Vancouver Island?

Thanks in advance! :) ]]> Employment in Nanaimo Brittany http://www.nanaimoinformation.com/forum/showthread.php?7827-What-is-the-best-Trade-to-get-into Nori Japanese Restaurant http://www.nanaimoinformation.com/forum/showthread.php?7826-Nori-Japanese-Restaurant&goto=newpost Fri, 17 May 2013 16:10:04 GMT I am shocked no one has written anything about the best Japanese restaurant in this town, Nori Japanese Restaurant (http://www.vireviews.com/2013/05/nori-japanese-restaurant-nanaimo.html)!

Have you dined here?

I go there quite frequently and have always had a fantastic time, food is exceptional, service is awesome and the vibe is happening!

If you're a sushi lover like me I highly suggest the Island Fever Roll, it's a palate party!

The Island Fever Roll is in the top of this picture, with the Strawberry Crunch Roll on the bottom.

Admission is free

The Nanaimo Museum will be hosting an exhibit of restored images by Matt James. The display will include some antique framed items and some medium to large canvas printed photos. Most of the exhibits will be for sale and partial proceeds will be donated to select foundations. Some of the images have never been seen by the public and have been sourced from private collections.
Each and every image has been repaired through modern digital programs that allow me to manipulate fading, blemishes, tears and panoramic stitching. The methods of printing will be 100 percent archival.
This will be my 3rd public showing of this type of restored images. My previous show had a mix of British Columbia images and the exhibit contained 137 images. This museum exhibit will be scaled back but the content will be of higher quality works.
We will be offering a number of perpetual calendars for sale which are printed locally and have some great content.
The show informally opens Wed the 15th of May and will run through June.

Has anyone ever used the Parental Controls through the Control Panel on your computer?

1 I am looking at being able to set my internet to go on and off at certain times.

2: Disallowing other users with different lap tops that are using the same wireless line; to not be able to download movies, games and whatever that adds to your internet KB usage.

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Currently I am using a plug in timer to set; off and on times but some are just too ballsy to damper with it. :confused: ]]> General Chat Forum All Ages Music Concerts http://www.nanaimoinformation.com/forum/showthread.php?7820-Internet-Parental-Control-Options El brad http://www.nanaimoinformation.com/forum/showthread.php?7819-El-brad&goto=newpost Sat, 04 May 2013 03:18:09 GMT Are you on here or Facebook?

Is anyone out there aware of the movement and interested. Ideally I'd like to have a local cafe offer us their space for an evening once a month. It would be a coffee and cake sort of venue. I would like to keep it out of Churches and Halls, etc.
A Death Cafe provides a safe and caring place to discuss death in all its many faces. Please go look at the Death Cafe website or have a look at Facebook at the Death Cafe Nanaimo.
I am not into beating my head against the wall and if I get little interest, I'll just assume it's not time yet for this idea in Nanaimo.
Feel free to email me at awestcoastcelebrant@shaw.ca if you are interested or have a coffee shop you would like to have considered as a venue. ]]> General Chat Forum celebrant http://www.nanaimoinformation.com/forum/showthread.php?7816-Death-Cafe-Nanaimo Baseball Game Seattle http://www.nanaimoinformation.com/forum/showthread.php?7815-Baseball-Game-Seattle&goto=newpost Tue, 30 Apr 2013 19:02:28 GMT My Grandfather, 81 yrs old, told me would like to see his first baseball game before, as he put it " groaks" He would like to see the Blue Jays and Seattle play.

Last month I bought a personal emergency response system from Toronto. I got some recommendations from friends and neighbors before the purchase but I was no so aware about its working. My grand mother is staying alone in my home and it was for her I bought it. Last week she fell down and I was not in home that time. This product send notification to a nearby hospital and brought a help immediately. I am very much thankful for the provider and also for the invention. Really worth our try. You should also get something like that. ]]> General Chat Forum DanielleSteven http://www.nanaimoinformation.com/forum/showthread.php?7814-PERS-system-A-good-choice-for-elders Nanaimo Yard Sales http://www.nanaimoinformation.com/forum/showthread.php?7812-Nanaimo-Yard-Sales&goto=newpost Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:16:04 GMT On Saturday, May 4th, 9am-3pm, there is a yard sale at Maple Tree Village, 285 Harewood Road.
