Vancouver Canucks defenceman Keith Ballard is back, ready after an extended and arduous convalescence from concussion. Canucks need to move fast, like Action Movers, when moving someone’s household goods.
Star scorer Daniel Sedin is not back. Earlier this week, it looked like concussed Sedin was near ready. Now, he could be out of action for an extended period. At the very least, he is out for Game 2 of Vancouver’s first-round series against the Los Angeles Kings, and is now a glaring question mark for Game 3 on Sunday. He did not practice with his team on Friday morning ahead of Game 2. The team won’t say if he will travel with the team Saturday to L.A.
Making a move often involves one annoying step: finding the boxes you need for a move.
When starting a move, its all about collecting boxes from grocery stores and liquor stores in hopes of getting a few wine boxes. Others make do with diaper boxes and even plastic bags. This is no way to move.
Action Movers provides you with 2 options:
1. Action Totes which comes in 2 sizes to simplify your move. We offer 1 week and 2 week rentals and help you determine which packing supplies would better suite your upcoming move. If you need the tote rental longer, we can offer you a discounted price for the 3rd week.
2. Action Moving Boxes. This option is great. We recycle alot of boxes, and reuse our boxes 3-4 times. Action Movers lets you purchase your moving boxes, and then you have 14 days to return the boxes for a full refund.
You have also the option of using our free tall wardrobe boxes, equipped with metal bar for hanging shirts and tailored pants without wrinkling them. There are small book boxes (you don’t want to fill these too much) as well as regular packing boxes for dishes and linens.
Yesterday’s game was a welcome change from the Canucks previous three nail-biters where the game was decided by a single goal in either overtime or the shootout. With the Canucks moving around and especially seeing as they were down a goal very early in the game, they showed great poise by staying with their game plan and not becoming unraveled as they battled back to win the game against a divisional rival with goals to spare. Hopefully this is the corner the Canucks needed to turn in order to get their game back on track for the stretch run to the playoffs. After giving up an early goal to the Minnesota Wild, the Vancouver Canucks buckled down, regrouped and played a very solid, well disciplined game to extend their winning streak to three games, and a 3-4 record on this road trip. Vancouver Canucks were consistant in the ‘move the puck’ around scenerio. The game started out with a shock as Dany Heatley surprised Cory Schneider by beating him 13 seconds after the opening puck drop. Final score 5-2 Canucks!
beware of craigslist scams
In March of 2008, Fox News reported on a Craigslist hoax that cost one man almost everything he owned. In Jacksonville, Oregon, scammers posted prank ads on the website claiming that the person who lived at Robert Salisbury’s residence had to leave town suddenly, and that everything in his house was free for the taking. The problem is that Salisbury had no idea of any such ad and was not certainly not planning on moving anywhere. On his drive home he spotted a truck passing him loaded down with stuff from his house and garage. Surprised, Salisbury pulled them over to discover just what was going on. “I informed them I was the owner, but they refused to give the stuff back,” Salisbury said. “They showed me the Craigslist printout and told me they had the right to do what they did.” As he arrived home, Salisbury was greeted by 30 people ransacking his home, barn and garage, taking everything and anything they wanted. Eventually the police arrived on scene to break up the party, but by then too many people had already made their getaway.

Pavol Demitra, a former Kings forward and a three-time NHL All-Star, was reportedly among the players killed in Wednesday’s crash of a jetliner carrying a Russian hockey team, his agent told the Toronto Globe and Mail.
The plane, which was carrying members of the Kontinental Hockey League team Lokomotiv, crashed on the banks of the Volga River shortly after departing from an airport in Yaroslav, located 150 miles northeast of Moscow. The team was flying to Belarus to play in its season opener against Dinamo Minsk.
Russian officials say a crew member and Russian player Alexander Galimov are the only survivors.
Eleven foreign players reportedly were onboard the jet. A Czech Embassy official said Czech players Josef Vasicek, Karel Rachunek and Jan Marek were among those killed.
Toady was a sad day for all hockey fans. The entire team of Lokomotiv Yaroslavl of the KHL, flying to the 2011-2012 season opener, died in a plane crash near Yaroslavl, Russia. On-board the plane was former star of Vancouver Canucks, Slovak hockey player Pavol Demitra.
Demitra played for the Canucks for two years between 2008 and 2010. He started playing professional hockey in 1992 and was drafted into the NHL by Ottawa Senators in 1993 already. By these measures, he was a true Canadian, beginning and ending his career on the Eastern and Western coast, respectively. He even played in an All-Stars game in Toronto in 2000. To this day, Demitra is widely considered one of the best late round draft steals in NHL history.
While playing for the Canucks, Demitra suffered several injuries, but always recovered promptly and resumed playing in very short time. He managed to score 20 goals and earn a total of 53 points in the first season alone.
Demitra was not only popular in Canada, but he was one of the best-loved hockey players in his wonderful home country of Slovakia. Slovakia is a relatively small country in central Europe and a birthplace to some of the best hockey players in the world, including famous NHL names like Peter Bondra, Zdeno Chára, Richard Zedník, Marián Gáborík, Lubomír Višnovský, Marián Hossa, and others.
The 2011 Ice Hockey World Championships (taking place in Bratislava, Slovakia and Košice, Slovakia) was Demitra’s last time partaking in the Slovak national team and representing his country as the team’s captain in this prestigious venue. After Slovakia’s last match in the Championship, Demitra received a long standing ovation and loud cheers from the entire audience in what was likely the most touching moment of this year’s Championship.
Demitra was an offensive player with exemplary manners that earned him a Lady Byng Memorial Trophy in 2000. He also received a Golden Puck, an award for Slovakia’s best hockey player, in 2003. In the hearts of his fan, he will always be a legend thanks to his unparalleled play style and mature, non-violent game.
Pavol Demitra was an exceptional hockey artist who always enjoyed the respect of his team members. He is going to be deeply missed by all fans of great ice hockey.

Finding a job is a challenge for practically anyone in these difficult economic times. Employers seem to be increasingly selective on who they choose to hire, often wanting someone who can be a “Jack-of-all-trades” so that they can stretch their dollars. For job developers trying to find the ideal workplace for the individuals with disabilities they support, this adds to the complexity of securing these individuals real work for real pay.
Action Movers of Vancouver, BC stepped up to the plate by hiring a young man with a disability. Mark Hirschi, the Owner of Action Movers, was able to look past the disability label and see the strengths and skills that this young man possessed. It was an easy task for Mark to create a position for this young man that fit his ideal conditions of employment, which consisted of cleaning tasks around the office and yard, and unloading/loading trucks in warehouse settings.
For this young man with a disability, his job alone has increased his self-esteem and quality of life, expanded his social network, and given him the opportunity to feel that he is playing a meaningful role in our society.
For Action Movers, this was an easy task. If more employers could be open-minded to the possibility of hiring someone with a disability then we could truly make a difference in lives of thousands of individuals across BC.
