Vasco Road station
Vasco Road is an ACE station on Vasco Road in eastern Livermore, California.
Service
The station mainly serves the workers of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratory and the surrounding industrial and office parks in eastern Livermore in addition to commuters from Livermore headed to job centers in the Silicon Valley to the southwest.
The station is served by commuter Altamont Corridor Express (ACE) trains between San Jose Diridon Station and Stockton. Tri-Valley WHEELS lines 11, 16, and 20X currently serve this location. In the future, express commuter buses (RTD, MAX, Manteca Transit, Tri-Delta Transit, Stanislaus Transit, and Tracer) currently serving the Dublin/Pleasanton BART station may stop at, be truncated to, or extend services to this station.
BART has approved an alignment for its Livermore extension to run along I-580 then tunnel underneath Isabel Avenue to the Livermore ACE station and then continue along the right-of-way to Vasco Road to serve as its final terminal. However, in July 2011, the Livermore City Council reversed its position in response to a petition requesting that the alignment stay within or nearby the Interstate 580 right-of-way, and now favors stations be built at the Interstate 580 interchanges with Isabel Avenue and Greenville Road.
Vasco (album)
Vasco is a two-part EP by Ricardo Villalobos. It was released by Perlon on LP and CD in the spring and fall of 2008. The original 12" vinyl pressings include "Minimoonstar", "Electonic Water" and "Amazordum", alongside remixes of each song by Shackleton, San Proper and Baby Ford. The CD release discards the remixes, but adds "Skinfummel" and the full 32 minutes of "Minimoonstar", extending the song by over twice its length.

Showcase (retailer)
Showcase is a Canadian retail company specializing in “As Seen on TV” products typically sold on television infomercials. There are 99 locations in major malls across Canada as well as a e-commerce portal that sells to U.S. and Canadian consumers. According to their website, Showcase is the world’s largest as-seen-on-TV retailer.
History
The first Showcase store was opened in 1994 in the Meadowlark Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, originally under the name “As Seen on TV Showcase”. In 2000, the company aggressively expanded at an average of five openings per year. At this time, the company was primarily franchise-based, and modeled primarily as an “As Seen on TV” outlet store. The Edmonton Journal covered the grand openings of subsequent stores in the Edmonton area as the chain grew.
Starting in 2003, the company redesigned stores and began to launch proprietary product lines such as Dream Away, Quantum, and Kyoto and expanded beyond “As Seen on TV” boundaries, and officially changed its name to “Showcase”.
