Canadian Market Place Summary Strong Canadian Dollar: The Canadian dollar is the strongest it has been against the US dollar in over 30 years. It traded over $1.03 on Friday October 26, 2007. Some have been saying the Canadian dollar could reach $1.05 and I have even heard as high as $1.12 before 2008 years end. The Canadian dollar has risen around 20% this year against the US dollar. The highest the Ca- nadian dollar has traded against the US greenback was $1.0614 back in 1957. Consider this, it took $1.618 Canadian dollars to purchase one US dollar in 2002. This is great for Canadian buying US goods. Some argue that we are not seeing these savings passed onto the shelves of Canadian retailers.

There are last minute strategies that can be implemented each year to save tax. As the end of the year quickly ap- proaches, consider the following strategies to reduce taxes for 2007. • Review the makeup of your portfolio. Consider the type of income, if any, you've earned on your portfolio outside of your RRSP or RRIF this year. If you've earned interest income, which is highly taxed, consider re- structuring your portfolio so that it is more tax efficient in 2008. • Review your outstanding debt. Is the interest cost on your debt deductible for tax purposes? If not, and if you have investments outside an RRSP or RRIF, consider liquidating some of the investments (calculate the tax cost first) and use the proceeds to pay down the debt. Then re-borrow to replace the investments. This may set you up for an interest deduction for 2008 since your interest cost on the new debt may be de- ductible. • Observe investment deadlines for 2007. If you hope to sell an investment at a loss this year to apply the loss against capital gains, the settlement date (not the trade date) on the sale will have to fall in 2007. To en- sure this happens, you'll have to initiate the sale on or before Monday, December 24, 2007 (for Canadian stock markets). If you wait until December 24, initiate the sale early that day since most stock markets may close early that day too. • Time the purchase of certain investments. If you're planning to invest in an interest-bearing security (like a guaranteed investment certificate (GIC)) that has a maturity of one year or longer, consider waiting until the new year before making the investment. By waiting, you won't have to pay tax on any accrued interest until 2009 - the year of the first anniversary of the investment. Also, consider waiting until early 2008 to pur- chase any mutual funds that are expected to make taxable distributions before the end of 2007. You'd hate to pay tax sooner than necessary. • Trigger accrued losses before year end. If you have realized capital gains this year, or in one of the three prior year (2004, 2005, or 2006), consider selling any investments that have dropped in value in order to ap- ply the capital loss against those capital gains. Capital losses must be used to offset gains in the current year first, but excess losses can then be carried back up to three years or forward indefinitely. • Close out option contracts with losses. If you close out option contracts with accrued capital losses be- fore year-end, you'll be able to utilize those losses to offset realized capital gains this year, or in 2004, 2005, or 2006. • Donate securities to charity. Making a donation by year-end will provide you with a tax credit for 2007. If you're considering disposing of certain publicly traded securities anyway, think about donating those securi- ties to a public or private charity. Any resulting capital gain on securities donated are not subject to tax and you're entitled to a donation receipt for the full donation. A donation of appreciated securities can now make far more tax sense than a straight donation of cash. • Contribute to your RRSP. Your have until Friday, February 29, 2008 to make a contribution to your RRSP that will entitle you to a deduction on your 2007 tax return. Make that contribution sooner rather than later, in order to get your money working for you inside the RRSP as soon as possible. Even if you're not sure which investments to buy, contribute to your RRSP and "park" the cash until you've make a decision about what to invest in. • Reduce unused RRSP contribution room and consider borrowing to contribute, • For a full list of tax savings strategies email: email@example.com Visit us today at www.getcovered.ca or www.wisemoney.ca Page 4 Investment Corner—How Do the Numbers Look?

Visit us today at www.getcovered.ca or www.wisemoney.ca Page 5 Should every Canadian own a real estate fund Most Canadians remember the real estate market in the late 80s as a period when there seemed to be no end to the rise in property values. Then the 90s came and went with relatively flat pricing throughout the real estate market. Global property stocks on the other hand dramatically outperformed the Canadian housing market during this time. While certain North American markets may have peaked, global real estate funds continued to be heavily invested, specifically those containing commercial properties. - As foreign economies grew, so did rent and property values - More countries such as France, UK and Germany are adopting the tax- efficient REIT structure, allowing greater growth potential. Investing in a real estate fund allows the investor to take advantage of both an in- come producing vehicle and the appreciation of property values.

YES! Typically, when we think of enterprise mobility, it's a very different beast. The majority of announcements in the greater collective of the mobile world are aimed at the consumer side.
Email, the scourge of today's workforce that keeps millions upon millions from actually getting anything done seems to exist as a necessary evil in the corporate collaboration environment.
Skills for the Enterprise Technology World
On Nov 14, 2012
Nemertes has been tracking the emergence of the next evolution of information technology use and organization within the enterprise. Just as MIS evolved into and was superseded by IT, we see Enterprise Technology (ET) emerging to supersede traditional IT. Where MIS focused on the back office and evolved into IT to address the needs of office staff and the knowledge worker, so IT is evolving into ET as it grows to encompass not just back-office, knowledge, and task (front-office) work, but also field and floor work that previously was not technology-supported, and the creation of the intelligent and instrumented environment. ET, naturally, demands some skills that IT already has, and also some that IT tends to undervalue.
One ET skill that is increasingly important is the ability to speak with line-of-business folks in business-focused language, and to interpret their needs and translate them into technology requirements. Sure, IT departments know they need this skill set and many deploy business analysts or business-technology liaisons to be bridges to the rest of the organization. However, the ET organization is going to be tipping ever more heavily towards needing this skill set across most positions. Over time fewer and fewer technologists will be isolated from the rest of the business, especially as broader and more flexible use of hosted, managed, and cloud services makes it possible to get ever more done without the deep technical expertise that has been required in the past. (Of course, it shifts that burden to the service providers!)

renegade - Unregistered June 02, 2010 8:26 PM For the long term plan Robert should stay at Renault. I see them being dark horses over the next few years so if they want to build a team around him, as they say, he should let them. He is young enough to give the team time to come up with a true front runner before moving on to a glamour seat such as Ferrari. Being tall he is going to be compromised in a car that is not built around him, so going to a seat in a car built around a shortie like Alonso is going to make his stock drop. Better to build a reputation pushing an underperforming car further than expected rather than underperform in a front runner, just ask Alonso!! 3 agree 0 disagree
I Like Cake - Unregistered June 02, 2010 8:29 PM I think Kubica will end up at Red Bull next season. They'd be crazy not to get rid of Vettel after wiping his teammate out and acting the spoilt brat at every opportunity. 2 agree 7 disagree
JoeS June 03, 2010 12:54 AM Red Bull favoroutise Seb. Note how they all pinned the blmae on Mark when it clearly wasn't his fault. If either RBR driver is going it is, wrongly and unjustly, Mark Webber. Reply Report abuse 2 agree 1 disagree
Cael - Unregistered June 03, 2010 3:22 PM i don't see Kubica joining RB, especially in Vettel's place.So even if he joins RB he won't be nothing more then a wingman, and i doubt RK wants that.RB would rather lose the 2010 crown then cut Vettel of. He's young, insanely fast and talented.He's rated as the fastest driver on the grid and he's only 22, and RB would be stupid to cut him of, and they won't.Rather they will dispatch the aging and slower Webber. 2 agree 2 disagree
cobalt - Unregistered June 03, 2010 3:55 PM Kubica will stay with Renault according to his manager. Good. 0 agree 0 disagree
50 Cent - Unregistered June 03, 2010 5:35 PM I don't agree with the assessment that Vettel is the fastest on the grid. Certainly he is one of the fastes guys but, at the moment Webb seems to have gotten a measure of Vettel and the record shows it. At the moment, he is the fastest guy on the grid despite the hostile environment at RB. I suppose that will change with the help of Helmut and Horner since the two know who they want/must promote. 4 agree 0 disagree

Fallen Earth's Marie Croall has posted the latest State of the Game letter on behalf of the development team. In it, she discusses several key features that the team has been working on and some things that will be coming in the future. Current projects include:
Croall also let players know that the augmentation system is set to receive some much needed attention and that the team is "breaking ground on one of the biggest (and most requested) systems" later this month. She is very cryptic about what exactly that is but indicates that more information will be forthcoming in the near future.
Read the full letter on the Fallen Earth blog.

they need to fix the combat first. the lack of fluidity is really really frustrating... |

4 attempted fixes to combat and combat is still bad. They called this a state of game, this should have been called, this is what we have planned. There is nothing about the state of the game in this blog at all. I wonder how many folks are still playing. My account got hacked kind of funny as I only had 20 red chips and they got all of those, but that's ok, as I gave up on this game a long time ago. |
Agreed, combat and character feedback are where this game needs work. Get those up to par with WoW, SWTOR, etc and I think it would be tough to leave Fallen Earth. |
Recently started playing this myself and subbed up. I dont have any issues with the combat? What do you guys mean ? As for people playing there seems to be tons of people online all the time. My 3D models |

FE has huge problems to fix like combat mob AI no player housing very little group content no mention for 2012 so ill pass Playing: PO, EVE |
I've always really wanted to come back to this game but every time I read news about it they still have mountains of things that they're planning to fix so I don't even bother when I hear stuff like that. |
Welcome to G1's world where everything will be fixed tomorrow. |
Originally posted by Caldrin Well I guess its hard to explain if you dont feel it. Maybe I can give you an analogy, to me its like being underwater, drunk trying to hammer in nails with a sledghammer. Hope that helps. |
I just hated the TIME investment for crafting. Days and Days of time required to complete parts for vehicles and such. Also, ammo... I guess thats why almost everyone is running around as melee. I personally wanted to level as a sniper/rifle master but the goddamn ammo cost and crafting requirements is insane. And yes, combat was pretty meh. |
What do you mean? I hate melee in this game and think it's boring! I played a Rifle/crafter guy since F&F Alpha and never ran out of ammo. Get your crafting up and start crafting efficient ammo and you're there! You'll never run out again! Seriously, this is actually one of the least problems with this game. I just gathered some maths and put up ammo crafting on queue before I log off and next time I log back on, I have enough ammo to last for days. |
I have 2 toons and they are Rifle/crafter and Pistols/melee, first lvl'd up my Crafter and i never ever add any issues with ammo what so ever. It's true u must spend some time getting mats to make ammo but thats whats gives crafting a meaning, not to mention the fact that u can actually make ur own gear, i dare to say u MUST make ur own gear because the mission rewards are not that great. As for the crafting, imo thats were the game shines, i don't think the requirements are insane what so ever, but yes it takes time, more time then in the usual mmo, but in the end it feels rewarding knowing u made all ur mounts and vehicles. The biggest problem now n days is that ppl just want to rush to lvl cap and max crafting with allmost no effort, what's the fun in that, i realy don't get it....im playing since August and im yet to cap all my crafting trees, only main ones like Ballistics, Armour and Science are at 196 and i still miss some advanced books in those trees, if u complain about crafting i guess u never gone into Cooking, i guess u wouldn't last a day hehehe. As for combat, well...i must admit the combat sometimes feels a litlle choppy, but i dont care much for top notch combat animations, after a while u dont even notice it and get used to it, but hey i can only speak for myself. And besides that theres alot more in the game that compensates for that, like PvP Zones, open world, exploration...PvP itself i very well balanced and it's skilld based, a lvl 50 or even a lvl 45 can take a lvl 55 if u have the skills. And the fact of the best crafting mats residing on PvP Zones is awsome, it forces u to go out there and get ur but on the line to get ur hands on those goodies, if not u can allways buy them at the AH and over priced, rewarding those u go out there !!! Just a side note...the game is well and very much alive, theres allways toons of ppl on starting areas and latlly lots of ppl on mid/high lvl areas, the F2P patch really gave a boost on population. Being that kind of game u cant really just jump in and start rushing to cap theres a Help Channel with vet players and GM's allways answering questions to help new guys (i crack my ass laughing with some of the questions :D). So yeah thats pretty much it.. Cheers |

Adele to perform Skyfall for the first time at OscarsAdele hasn't sung her Golden Globe winning, Oscar nominated song "Skyfall" live before. As with most Bond songs it came out and was a hit, but doesn't always jump into the artists actual repertoire of songs. She also hasn't been doing much live performing. Lucky for the world she'll be belting the number out at the Oscars making the show something you actually want to watch. There are two sure fire wins this year at the Oscars. The first and most obvious is Anne Hathaway for supporting actress in Les Misérables. The second is Adele winning for Skyfall's opening song, "Skyfall." The only thing that even comes close to the recognition of it is Les Misérables's "Suddenly," and that is a distant second. It's unclear if the rest of the nominees will be performing as well, but I doubt any of them will knock it out of the park like Adele. [via Collider] Comments not appearing?

King T. Leatherbury's evergreen Ben's Cat has been named Maryland-bred Horse of the Year for an unprecedented fourth time in the annual poll conducted by the Maryland Horse Breeders Association.
Two-time Eclipse Award winner Main Sequence powered to victory in his season debut Feb. 21, taking the $200,000 Mac Diarmida (gr. IIT) at Gulfstream with an impressive kick in the final furlong.
Ben's Cat produced one of the best efforts of his 45-race career to capture the Fabulous Strike Stakes for the third time in its three editions at Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course Nov. 29.
For the third time, two-time Horse of the Year Wise Dan is among six horses on the ballot for this year's Secretariat Vox Populi Award.
If the amazing Ben's Cat is going to make it back-to-back victories in the $200,000 Fabulous Strike Handicap on Thanksgiving Eve at Penn National, he'll will have to defeat one of the toughest fields he has faced recently.
A runner-up in his past two starts, New York-based Dads Caps will try to secure his first win since taking the Carter Handicap (gr. I) in April when the 4-year-old Discreet Cat colt starts in the De Francis Dash.
Popular Ben's Cat won the battle but lost the war when Talk Show Man caught the gallant favorite in the final strides of the $126,250 Maryland Million Turf Oct. 19 at Laurel Park.
Ben's Cat will remain on turf as he targets a record fourth win in the 29th Jim McKay Maryland Million at Laurel Park Oct. 18.
The Jim McKay Maryland Million has attracted 188 pre-entries to the nine stakes races on the Oct. 18 card at Laurel Park.
Trainer King Leatherbury was confident Ben's Cat would exit the Laurel Dash with another victory Sept. 27, but instead watched the 8-year-old gelding finish third behind longshots Dreamsgonewild and Bold Thunder.
Claire Novak and Tom LaMarra handicap the Jockey Club Gold Cup and examine it's implications for the Breeders' Cup. The duo also touch on several other big races and key horses from around the country. watch video
The Jim Stable's Ben's Cat will seek his third Laurel Dash victory in four attempts when he faces nine other sprinters in the $100,000 event Sept. 27 at Laurel Park.
Sharp Sensation, a 16-1 outsider, denied iconic Maryland turf sprinter and favorite Ben's Cat a third win in the $300,000 Turf Monster Handicap (gr. IIIT) Sept. 1 at Parx Racing.
The Jim Stable's Ben's Cat will seek his third victory in the $300,000 Turf Monster Handicap (gr. IIIT) when the race is run again Sept. 1 at Parx Racing in Pennsylvania.

Ben's Cat, winner of the Parx Dash Handicap (gr. IIIT) in 2012 and 2013, returns July 12 for his fourth consecutive outing in the race. He'll face nine, including Tightend Touchdown, runner-up by 1 1/4 lengths last year.
Wes Welker's Undrafted charged from off the pace to win the $300,000 Jaipur Invitational Stakes (gr. IIIT) June 7 at Belmont Park. The son of Purim completed the six furlongs in 1:07.24.

Admiral of the fleet (Australia)
This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009) |
- For use of this rank in other countries, see admiral of the fleet
Admiral of the fleet (AF) is the highest rank in the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), but is a ceremonial, not active or operational, rank. It equates to the rank code O-11. Equivalent ranks in the other services are field marshal and marshal of the Royal Australian Air Force. Like those ranks, admiral of the fleet is a five-star rank.
The subordinate naval rank, and highest active rank in the RAN, is admiral. This rank is only held when the Chief of the Defence Force is a naval officer. The highest permanent rank in the RAN is vice admiral, held by the Chief of Navy.
The rank evolved from the ancient sailing days and the admiral distinctions then used by the Royal Navy. The British fleet was divided into three divisions and each designated a colour, that of red, white, or blue. Each coloured division was assigned an admiral, who in turn had command over a vice admiral and a rear admiral. In the 18th century, the original nine ranks began to be filled by more than one person per rank. The admiral of the fleet commanded the admirals of the various divisions and thus, the entirety of the British fleet.
The organisation of the British fleet into coloured squadrons was abandoned in 1864, with the Royal Navy keeping the White Ensign. By this time, the position admiral of the fleet had already become an honorary promotion; when the position of professional head of the Royal Navy was given the name of First Naval Lord in 1828 (renamed First Sea Lord in 1904), admiral of the fleet became an honorary promotion for retiring First Naval Lords. This allowed multiple honorary admirals of the fleet to co-exist throughout the history of the rank. With the establishment of the Royal Australian Navy in 1911, the navy inherited the same ranks as its Royal Navy predecessor. However, the rank of admiral of the fleet has only been once used in its history so far, with the highest ranks remaining the traditional reserve as a wartime rank and did not take on the regular honorary appointments that its British counterpart did until 1996. The current and so far only holder of this rank is HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, prince-consort to the Queen of Australia, Elizabeth II.

Nearly 154,000 veterans are homeless on any given night. Another half million are at risk of homelessness because rent consumes more than half their income.
In his run for the White House, President Obama pledged to deliver on a zero-tolerance policy for veteran homelessness. But for low-income veterans who fall in between homelessness and homeownership, there is little to help them afford rental housing. That lack of affordable housing, research shows, is the primary driver of homelessness for veterans and civilians alike.

NN Stock Soars On Upbeat Outlook For Full Year
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (AP) â¿¿ Shares of NN Inc. surged nearly 27 percent Monday after the manufacturer of industrial plastic, rubber and metal components posted higher earnings and said full-year results should improve as well.
The company, based in Johnson City, Tenn., had a major upswing in profitability at its Whirlaway business and solid operating performance at its components units in predicting stronger full-year profit margins and income. NN is also adding more capacity at its China operations, which has resulted in more business for the company.
Net income for the January-through-March period was $5.9 million, or 35 cents per share, up 7 percent from $5.5 million, or 33 cents per share, for the same period in 2011. Adjusted earnings were 39 cents per share, excluding one-time items.
Revenue was $104.5 million, down 6 percent from $111.3 million.
CEO Roderick Baty said the Whirlaway unit and the precision metal components business delivered $1.6 million in net income, a $3.8 million rise in profitability from a year ago. He said revenue was down because of weaker demand in Europe. NN shares jumped by $2, or 26.9 percent, to $9.45 in afternoon trading.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Yes there was obvious building work being carried out but, that does not excuse the fact that various areas, a considerable distance away from the refurbishment, where in a disgusting state. On our way up to one of the flumes, some... More
It is very disappointing to hear that your visit was not all that you had hoped for and we apologise for this. It is true that a substantial amount of work is taking place at the moment as part of an upgrade of the facility and we hope when you next visit you will find things much improved. The comments...

Brilliant way to bring in the New Year in Northern Park in Inverness. Good music and good company. Fireworks to bring in the New Year.
Delighted to hear you enjoyed your trip to the area and hope you will revisit in 2015 :). More
Ok so the pools are a bit tired especially the fun pool but they are great. The should do offers on the entrance fee and also memberships for pool users only (not everyone wants to use the gym)
Thank you very much for your review, you will be pleased to know that we are currently in the process of refurbishing many parts of the facility and this work should be completed by the Summer. At a monthly cost of £19.50 for an individual and £28.00 for a family we believe the High Life package represents good value for... More
During a recent visit to Inverness with our three kids we expected our visit to the swimming pool to be a highlight. Sadly it was not to be the case. We started off feeling frustrated trying to get changed in a family changing room in which you couldn't swing a cat, never mind deal with three excited children. Frustration quickly... More
Many thanks for taking time to publish your review. We're sorry we didn't live up to your expectations. We are in the middle of a £3.5million refuribishment of our facilities, part of which is a full upgrade to our changing facilitie at the pool - including new digital lockers, extended family units and additional cubicles for our many customers. Some... More
As a family we really enjoy our time in inverness pool, the "fun"pool especially, with the wave pool, the rapids, the out door pool, little kids bit and best of all the donut flume. my boys discovered the two other flumes, one almost vertical warranted the very excited comment of " I will never do that again!" :) brilliant pool...

Thank you so much for your lovely comments, they are very much appreciated. We hope you will visit again when next in the area :). More
Gym is good, albeit some stuff doesn't have the electronic link you might like. The pool is good for the family. Worth a visit if you are looking for something to do
Thank you very much for taking the time to review the facility. The gym will be refurbished in Spring next year and hopefully you will enjoy your visits even more then! More
this is my experience today , 2 adults and 3 very eager young children. on arrival the 3 slides were closed , the jacuzzi was off , the outdoor pool was closed off and the wave machine area was roped off so all we had was the lazy river , so we went round and round for an hour until... More
Thank you for your review, we are obviously very disappointed to read of your experience and appreciate that your visit was certainly not to the standard we strive to deliver and which our customers are entitled to expect. We apologise fully, your comments will be passed to our management team for discussion on how we can improve and we hope... More
Have been coming here for the last 6 months and we loved it my little girl has been living the flumes , up until today where now because she has a small zip on her swimming costume cannot go down the flumes or on the rubber ring ride, asked to speak to a manager but to no avail more or... More
We are sorry to read of the issue you experienced, it is correct that swimwear with a zip cannot be used on the flumes as there is the potential for this to cause damage. This policy should be enforced by all our associates and in light of your feedback we will be reiterating this to all at their next training... More
I've just read some reviews dating back two years and I feel I'd like to make my own contribution as I found some of the comments a wee tad harsh. I tend to use the olympic pool and the health suite so I can't comment on the other services. Although the level of cleanliness is more than acceptable I have... More
Thank you very much for your comments, we do already have a pool vac which is used on a regular basis overnight. The sounder system you refer to is similar to that fitted in many comparable facilities throughout the country and was installed in 2009 in order to enhance the safety measures in place for the pools, it was also...

traveled many miles from home to Inverness for a couple of days for some time away. "I know!" I thought, "lets go to the aquadome, I haven't been in years!" So we arrived and it looked as I remember it to be, albeit a little dilapidated. we stood in the queue and eventually made our way to the counter where... More
We are very sorry you were disappointed with your visit. Information on the availability of the features is displayed on our website(www.invernessleisure.co.uk) and on our advertising leaflet. We have previously trialled having the features available on weekdays during school term time, however demand proved to be low and, like many publicly funded organisations at this current moment-in-time, we do have...
