Savers coming off existing fixed-rate bonds are anxious to lock in to the best rates without having to lose access to their money for an extended period. Those who plumped for a three-year bond back in 2008 will have been getting a return as high as 7 per cent AER in some cases.
However, to secure the best deal on offer at the moment it means tying your cash up for five years to earn 4.7 per cent AER with Yorkshire Bank.
On Monday, Close Brothers stormed to the top slot in the best buy tables with its "Premium Gold" two-year fixed-rate bond paying 4.25 per cent AER. Under the terms of this account, interest is paid annually and the account has a minimum investment limit of £10,000 and a maximum of £10m. For savers not comfortable with locking their funds away for five years this new deal will be very attractive, particularly as it is currently paying a higher return than the best four-year fixed-rate bond on the market (BM Savings and State Bank of India both at 4.2 per cent AER). At more than 0.85 per cent above the average two-year fixed-savings rate and a quarter point ahead of its nearest competitor, there will be no shortage of takers for this product which means its shelf life may be limited. To put this new deal into perspective, it's the highest rate seen on a two-year fixed-rate savings bond for 20 months, since ICICI Bank UK was offering the same 4.25 per cent AER back in March 2010. You have to go back exactly two years to find a higher two-year rate – courtesy of AA Savings' 4.35 per cent in November 2009. For those not familiar with the Close Brothers name, it is authorised by the FSA and a member of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, therefore savings balances up to £85,000 per deposit holder are fully protected.
Loan rates race nears 6 per cent low
The battle between personal loan providers continues to rumble on, which is great news for borrowers. Sainsbury's Finance and Nationwide Building Society have been the front-runners in the loans race for most of this year, with the latter cutting its rate to its lowest ever level at only 6.1 per cent APR.
Twelve months ago, the best deals were priced at around 6.7 per cent APR, so there's been some significant price cutting taking place in an effort to both boost take-up levels and meet annual targets.
It's possible we may see rates dip below 6 per cent before Christmas, something we haven't witnessed since May 2007.
While the cost of larger loans is falling, those looking for only £1,000 to £2,000 still face having to pay rates approaching 20 per cent in some cases. Also lenders are still very choosy when assessing applications for any type of borrowing, so a tip-top credit rating is a must if you want to secure a best-buy rate.
Index-linked savings may not deliver best returns
There was some minor relief for savers on Tuesday when the Office for National Statistics issued the October inflation data.
The RPI measure edged down from 5.6 per cent to 5.4 per cent in what was predicted to be the first in a succession of reductions if the City experts and a certain Mr King are to be believed.
So what does this mean for people thinking of sheltering some of their savings in inflation-linked savings bonds?
Both the Post Office and BM Savings offer savings bonds linked to RPI for both a three-year and a five-year term. More recently, Santander has joined the fray, offering a slightly different six-year deal.
The conundrum is that even though these products protect you against future increases in the cost of living, they don't guarantee to deliver the best return.
While inflation is expected to drop back sharply in the first part of 2012, the longer-term picture is less clear; however, you could get a better return with a standard fixed-rate savings bond.
As rates stand, the five-year Post Office inflation bond will equal the rate on the five-year bond (4.7 per cent) as long as RPI is no lower than 3.7 per cent, and with BM Savings as long as RPI doesn't dip below 4.2 per cent.
Unlike the previous issues of index-linked certificates from NS&I, interest on the above accounts are to tax, although BM Savings does offer an ISA version at the same rates.
Protecting your cash against the ravages of inflation looks quite appealing at the moment, but sharp falls in RPI are unlikely to be mirrored by falls in savings-bond rates, so a mix of index-linked and standard fixed-rate products would seem quite a sensible strategy.

Different and fun, this may be right for you too.
The We Vibe II is something fun and different for couples. It can create some interesting situations, and cause some great pleasure. It may not, however, be right for everyone, and may not work with some body shapes, and for the price that's a hefty risk. All in all, we are quite pleased with the product, and would give it a pretty solid recommendation.Published:

Minimum Stay | 2 nights |
You will return with black and blue marks from pinching yourself as you experience the incredible luxury and breathtaking experience of spending one of the best vacations of your life, whether it is marveling at the white powder beaches by foot or on horseback or the perfection of the velvet like grass of the world-class golf courses, with competition level deep sea fishing available, gourmet restaurants and nightlife at the nearby Punta Cana village. It is my commitment to make not only the accommodations but the entire experience enjoyable, comfortable and safe, I am US born and have vacationed myself in the Dominican Republic for several years, and I will insure the trip and stay surpasses your highest expectations.
I am a Californian that currently lives in Madrid Spain and 5 years ago was introduced to the paradise on earth that is the Dominican Republic by my close friends that live there. After enjoying year after year of wonderful vacations with them and my family, we decided to invest in a luxury property in Samaná and later purchased the penthouse apartment in Sotogrande at Cap Cana. As an engineer, I am a sticker for details and understand that vacations are meant to be fun and trouble-free. Let me know what you are looking to do and I will advise you of your choices, regardless of whether you decide to stay in our unit.
Jim Novack purchased this apartment in 2011
Cap Cana is a secure, access-controlled luxury resort that was built at the height of the tourism and real estate boom on a truly unique stretch of 5 miles of white powder beach. It is unlikely that such an opulent and well-planned development will be matched for decades to come. Cap Cana is the best of US-oriented luxury and convenience, but minutes away from all the natural and unspoiled beauty of the Dominican Republic. You can golf, horseback ride, rent quads or buggies, zip-line, dance, drink or just rest on truly virtual-reality perfect beaches that test your senses as to whether it is real or your imagination...
Punta Cana Airport is 10 minutes away by taxi, world-class Jack Nicklaus´Punta Espada Golf Course and Golden Bear Lodge, deep sea fishing, scuba, horseback riding on the beach, buggies through the Dominican countryside, night life, restaurants, and above all the sweetness and willingness to please of the Dominican people who routinely answer with a smile whenever you ask, 'A la orden' (as you order/wish)...
Très bel endroit où vivre,tres paisible et comfortable ,possibilité de tout. Inclus sur demande ,navette par autobus 3 fois par semaine
Jim is an excellent host who worked tirelessly to ensure that we enjoyed our stay. He helped us resolve a major HVAC issue that arose at the beginning of our stay, and was responsive when we had a question or concern. The housekeeper, Darianna, did an excellent job cleaning, and was very polite and helpful as well. The view from the unit, and the grounds were absolutely amazing. There were always ample chairs near the pool or beach at all times throughout the day. The location of the condo complex is rather isolated, but tremendously tranquil for anyone looking to avoid the typical resort experience. It would definitely behoove anyone looking to rent this property to get a rental car. In that regard, avoid Thrify Rental Car by all means necessary, unless you're willing to shell out an additional $300+ for MANDATORY rental insurance.
The hotel complex was very good.We did not go all inclusive as it would have been an extra $2200 and the reports about the food were not good.We tried 4 different restaurants in the area but did not have on good meal even though the costs were up to $135. We had raw burgers and dry salmon and no vegetables.
We decided that enough was enough and to go to a top hotel for a meal.This hotel was $1000 a night so we were expecting good food. Two starters, two mains, 1 small water, 1 pineapple juice and 2 coffee's all for $220 ( about £180.00 ).
The next day my wife had the runs.When you look at a menu, look at the bottom and you will find +28% to add to your bill. When you add all these things up like $10 each to enter the country and $20 each to get out plus around £18.00 for a gallon of petrol plus very bad food it does not make for a good holiday experience.Needless to say we will not be going again. EVER. On a good note the apartment was clean and tidy and we enjoyed it very much. The 4 stars are for the apartment.The holiday experience we would give 1 star.
We loved the quietness of the condo and all the beautiful natural light the large window let in. We rented a little car to make travel easier within the larger complex and around the city - there weren't many private cars on the roadways but quite a few motor bikes. we also bought our own groceries for our stay. When we first arrived to the condo everything was clean and tidy and the decor was lovely! The private beach and infinity pool on the property were quite enjoyable as well. While our stay wasn't without some hiccups (which often accompany international travel) Jim was quick to check in and follow up with us. We also appreciated his efforts to work to accommodate us throughout our stay. Thank you.
Beautiful condo and property. Great pool and pool bar. Nice, protected beach. Nice ocean view from condo. The restaurant was fantastic and everyone was very friendly. We ended up eating most meals there. Loved the huge shower in the master bath. Plenty of hot water. Unit needs some maintenance and a larger coffee pot. The bed was good. This unit is two story with very high ceilings. The bedroom is up some steep (and long) stairs. Just sayin'. Another warning: Punta Cana is unlike any other of the many foreign places I have been. It is HUGE. In our opinion renting a car is mandatory. We rented a car from Thrifty at the airport. We were able to drive to town (about 10 miles) where there is a supermarket by the airport. There, you can buy US type food and alcohol. Another warning: The exchange rate when you spend dollars there is horrible. Best idea is to identify one of your credit cards that has no foreign transaction fee for where cards are accepted (many places) and to use your ATM card to get cash. (Which will be at the market rate.) The exchange rates for all currencies can be followed on a smart phone with a neat app called "XE." On the other side of downtown (about 10 more miles) is the Bavaro Beach area. The beach is beautiful here, but crowded. Unfortunately, most of Punta Cana consists of huge, all-inclusive resorts, but there were a few quaint little restaurants tucked in. You have to search for them. One we liked at Bavaro Beach was "Captain Cooks" which serves great seafood right on the water. If you GPS or map to there, when you turn right on the street by the beach there is a parking lot on the right. Give the guy 100 pesos (about 50 cents) and you wont have to worry about your car. There is a great bar here ("Onno," but it doesn't open until 4:00 pm) Bartender at the bar by the ocean is cute and she speaks perfect English. Interestingly, the Bavaro area has many signs in Greek. Closer to the condo, there is a good restaurant on the beach down the next road toward town called: "La Mona." Highly recommended. There is no designated parking spot in the under ground lot for this condo. Be nice to the maintenance guy in the blue uniform and he will point you to a spot that he knows will be unoccupied during your stay. Rated a 4 because of the maintenance and cleaning issues, the stairs and the huge distances to get anywhere in Punta Cana. Have fun!
The place is really nice if you are looking for a quite place, nice beach and the apt is exactly as you can se in the pics but has a stairways to go to the bedroom. To buy everything you need you have to drive. I like the 6 days stay but I have to advise that the owner will tell you that a lady called Xiomara will help you in any need but don't believe it because we never saw her, we asked to resolve a problem but she didn't do without many explication and we asked her to call the housekeeper to clean the apt... But she simply said she couldn't reach her and we stayed 6 days without cleaning... So.... Nice place but be ready to do on your own... Probably the receptionist could help you most.
Cap Cana is a secure, access-controlled luxury resort city that spans 5 miles of virgin Caribbean beachfront, with 3 golf courses and competition-level sports fishing facilities. It is minutes away from the town of Punta Cana, that is full of entertainment and restaurant choices, for the relaxed or adventure-seeking vacation, as you wish.

I'm sure most you like myself are "Pinterest Addicts" so while browsing last night I found a really cute idea that really I should have thought of myself. But isn't that how how it goes with Pinterest......"Why didn't I think of that"? As most of you know I have those ugly plastic drawers that I use for some of my stockpile, I found the perfect thing to spruce them up a bit on Pinterest!!
This particular one is in my bathroom closet so it doesn't get seen that much expect ourselves, but I tend to show friends and family my stockpile or give them items from it so I figured why not, let's give it a "face lift". I love to scrapbook so I already had all the supplies I needed to do this up do!
I used several sheets of my scrapbook paper and measured the inside of the drawer and cut to size. I just used my craft glue to glue these down but you could use Mog Podge if you wanted a better hold. After all the sheets are glued into the inside, I used the paper that was left over and made the white tags on the outside. I just used some of my craft scissors to cut a "design" and glued them onto the outside of each drawer. Then I labeled each drawer for whatever it's use was, example: Razors or Oral Care. On one I used some stickers letters again from my scrapbook supplies and the other one I simply wrote what was in them. I personally like using the sticker letters better.
Now this is still a cheap plastic drawer but at least now it has a little flair, not so dull and most of all you can't see everything inside it anymore! Just a quick, cheap DIY project I wanted to share with you guys, hope you enjoyed!

Some states have better reputations for being kind to drivers than others. New York is not one of those states.
In a recent study on states and their approach to motorists, New York ranked as the fifth worst in all of the U.S. in terms of the exploitation of the driving public. The rankings in the study were based on traffic laws, enforcement practices and the treatment of defendants in traffic ticket cases, among other factors.
Only New Jersey, Ohio, Maryland and Louisiana ranked as worse than New York. The other commonalities between the states ranked as least-motorist-friendly included the widespread usage of red light cameras (which have drawn renewed scrutiny in New York) and speed traps per capita. All of this means that you need to be very careful when driving in The Empire State.
Traffic violations in New York State can really put a crimp in your wallet. Fines for speeding (first offense) range from $100 to $610. Running a red light can cost you between $85 and $235. Excessive speeders (31+ mph over limit) can expect to pay up to $1060.
When you are handed a ticket from a police officer or state trooper, you can be tempted to accept his/her speed reading as legitimate and just pay your fine by mail or online. Likewise, when you receive a ticket in the mail with your car's photo on it indicating that you ran a red light, you can think that the easy way out is simply to pay and admit your guilt.

After the tsunami of 2004 and the resolution of a decades-long civil war, Sri Lanka is finally starting to look like its old self: a peaceful destination where surf lineups are nonexistent despite world-class waves and centuries-old tea estates are lined with mountain bike–ready trails. "The silver lining of the civil war is that the land and wildlife have remained untouched," says Lisa Bolger, trip coordinator for Access Trips, one of the very few outfitters leading excursions to the Indian Ocean island this coming year. Access's new itinerary combines surfing at Hikkaduwa (Sri Lanka's answer to Costa Rica's Tamarindo—minus the tourists), hiking 7,362-foot Adam's Peak (considered sacred by four local religions), and mountain biking the same trails that tea farmers have been using since Sri Lanka first began producing the crop 250 years ago. At 25,000 square miles, the island lets you cover a lot in a short amount of time. "Within a half day we move between vastly different topographies, climates, and wildlife zones," says Bolger. Rare is the place you see rice paddies from the back of an elephant in the morning and ocean views from a mountaintop by midday.

Tonight's Movie: Twice Blessed (1945)
Identical twin sisters, raised separately, switch places and help reunite their divorced parents. Sounds like THE PARENT TRAP (1961), right? It turns out MGM used a rather similar plot in TWICE BLESSED, an engaging "B" film of the mid '40s. Unlike the Disney film, no special effects were required, thanks to identical twin actresses Lyn and Lee Wilde.
Mary Hale (Gail Patrick), a world-famous child psychologist, has raised her daughter Stephanie (Lyn Wilde) as a sheltered genius; Stephanie has the highest IQ in the nation. Mary's ex-husband Jeff (Preston Foster), a newspaperman, has raised Stephanie's twin Terry (Lee Wilde) as a "normal" girl who loves to hang out with her beau (Marshall Thompson) at the corner drugstore and jitterbug.
When parents and daughters are reunited for the first time in seven years, Stephanie and Terry decide to secretly trade places in order to see how their "other half" lives, with sometimes unexpected and amusing results. The girls also hope to find a way to reunite their parents, who had split over Mary's desire for a demanding career but clearly still have strong feelings for one another.
This is a delightful little movie with a terrific cast. Foster and Patrick are always enjoyable actors, and the Wilde Twins are real talents, adept comediennes who are also skilled dancers. The situations they encounter when they switch places may be predictable, but as portrayed by the twins they're also great fun. It's particularly amusing to see the effect the switch has on the young men in Stephanie and Terry's lives (Thompson and Jimmy Lydon). It's quite a novelty to have such roles played by actual twins rather than the film needing to rely on special effects.
Lee and Lyn Wilde will be 90 years old this October. They appeared together in a number of films, including MGM's PRESENTING LILY MARS (1943), ANDY HARDY'S BLONDE TROUBLE (1944), and TILL THE CLOUDS ROLL BY (1946); Lyn appeared in several more films on her own. The Wilde Twins married brothers who were musicians.
There's a nice Wilde Twins tribute site which includes a biography, photos, and a review of TWICE BLESSED. It sounds as though the sisters have had rich, full lives filled with family and many interests.
The supporting cast of TWICE BLESSED includes peppy Jean Porter as Terry's friend and Gloria Hope as the calculating woman in Jeff's life. Hope was only in five films, and it appears this was her most significant role. Also be on the lookout for John Dehner, in an early role as a radio announcer, and Arthur Space asking questions on a radio quiz show.
Organist Ethel Smith performs an entertaining routine at a dance. She was also in a couple of Esther Williams films in the '40s, BATHING BEAUTY (1944) and EASY TO WED (1946).
The movie was directed by Harry Beaumont, with black and white cinematography by Ray June. The film runs 76 minutes.
This movie is not available on VHS or DVD. Hopefully a Warner Archive release is in the future! It was recently shown on Turner Classic Movies, so watch for it to turn up again. TCM has the trailer on the TCM website.

Oh, Godzilla, you big tease.
Who knew?
Well, the beast itself may not be introverted, but certainly director Gareth Edwards is shy about showing his assets in "Godzilla," yet another remake of the story about the Japanese monster. This one falls squarely in the "be-careful-what-you-wish-for" camp.
How many times have we complained that summer blockbusters are all about the action, at the expense of niceties like character development? Well, Edwards has gone in another direction, one that's more intriguing in theory than on the screen.
We get backstory, and plenty of it: the word "Godzilla" isn't uttered until 45 minutes into the movie, and we don't see him for an hour. Even then, until a climactic fight, we mostly see snatches of him here and there, until he is conveniently blocked by a falling building or something.
Turns out you miss the monster when he's not around.
We do see quite a bit of a couple of giant creatures that manage to destroy some major cities in spectacular fashion. It's kind of a mating ritual. The world probably wishes they'd stuck to dinner and drinks.
Godzilla remains elusive in the film's newest trailer, but audiences do learn more about the beast's backstory. The film stars Bryan Cranston and opens in theaters May 16.
It does involve feeding, namely the consumption of nuclear power. As we learn from the backstory, a scientist named Joe Brody (Bryan Cranston) years before was present for a natural disaster -- so the authorities say -- that destroyed the Japanese nuclear plant he helped run. In the present he is still in Japan, still searching for answers and generally considered insane by his son Ford (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), a soldier who returns to his San Francisco home on leave to visit his wife Elle (Elizabeth Olsen) and son Sam (Carson Bolde).
It's a short-lived visit; Joe has been arrested in Japan, raving that the conditions from the previous disaster are repeating themselves, that something big is up.
He's right, of course. Dr. Serizawa (Ken Watanabe) and Vivienne Graham (Sally Hawkins) have been harboring a secret, along with the world's governments, for decades.
Without giving too much away, let's just say that all those experimental nuclear explosions in the '50s weren't what they seemed.
Naturally the action is eventually going to center on San Francisco, and naturally Ford is going to play a major role in it. This is a movie, after all. And like most "Godzilla" movies, the monster has a somewhat ambiguous role. Is he good or bad? (Be sure to look for the cable-news headline toward the end, which is funny but no more ridiculous than anything CNN has blared about the missing Malaysian jetliner the last few weeks.)
It's all about the balance of nature, as Serizawa reminds us repeatedly. Nature doesn't really have heroes and villains. But movie audiences crave them, so we look for them anywhere we can find them, even in a giant scaly lizard who steps on buildings when he feels like it.
The thing about "Godzilla" is that, despite a massive fight at the end, for most of the movie we have to look too hard.
Grade: B-

Los Angeles, April 6 (IANS) Reality TV star Khloe Kardashian credits boxing for keeping her in shape.
"I love to box. I am good at it. Boxing keeps me entertained and you just shed weight," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Khole as saying.
The celebrity, who has lost inches in recent months, says she also likes to mix up her fitness regime, and does Pilates twice a week.
"I switch it up because I get really bored. So I do a lot of Pilates," she said.
The 28-year-old also turned to her older sister Kourtney for advice after seeing how quickly she managed to shed her pregnancy weight.
"It's not as much about depriving yourself of entire categories of foods. Kourt is a good mentor," said a source.

As we approach the last week of our Lenten journey, our thoughts center on the Passion of Christ.
Central to Catherine McAuley's personal spirituality was her devotion to Jesus, especially in His passion. In her rule of life for the Mercy community she wrote that the congregation was "founded on Calvary, there to serve a crucified Redeemer."
A devotion, dear to many and particularly suited to this liturgical season is the Stations of the Cross. Here is a reflection on the Stations developed by Gisele Ferretto, a Mercy Associate of the Americas. Gisele has woven Catherine's words into this sacred journey, making it very special and unique for us.

U.S. Treasury to sell $88 bln in notes
WASHINGTON, March 23 For details of the U.S. Treasury's auction of 2-year, 5-year and 7-year notes next week, see:
* World shares at 17-month highs, European stocks up 0.5 pct
* Wall Street wavers after strong two-day rally
* Euro at multi-month highs vs dollar, yen
* Brent crude rises above $109 a barrel
By Herbert Lash
NEW YORK, Dec 19 World shares rose to 17-month highs and the euro surged on Wednesday as hopes grew for a year-end budget deal in the United States and for further monetary stimulus from the Bank of Japan.
Wall Street opened higher but soon faltered as top European company shares scaled fresh 18-month highs on expectations the U.S. "fiscal cliff" will be averted.
"We're starting to see signs that there will be a deal on the 'fiscal cliff,' but after two strong days and with a fair amount of uncertainty left, people are just taking money off the table," said Peter Tuz, president of Chase Investment Counsel in Charlottesville, Virginia.
A key business survey in Germany bolstered investor sentiment by suggesting that Europe's biggest economy was likely to bounce back quickly from a slowdown.
The growing confidence in the outlook lifted the euro to a 16-month high against the yen and an 8-1/2 month peak versus the U.S. dollar, while Brent oil rose towards $110 a barrel.
Strong results from Oracle lifted U.S. technology shares but the S&P 500 struggled to extend its best two-day run in a month.
"Continuing loose monetary policy from the major central banks and apparent progress in overcoming the (euro zone) debt crisis has prompted a significant improvement in sentiment," said Bernd Hartmann, head of investment research at VP Bank.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 4.91 points, or 0.04 percent, at 13,355.87. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 0.06 points, or 0.00 percent, at 1,446.73. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 4.88 points, or 0.16 percent, at 3,059.41.
The better tone in global markets was supported by the U.S. Federal Reserve's efforts to boost the U.S. recovery, signs of growing momentum in China and talk that Japan is set for a policy shift to lift itself out of recession.
The latest German Ifo Institute survey of 7,000 firms bolstered this sentiment by finding that business confidence had improved for a second month running in December, in part because of better export prospects.
The brighter outlook has pushed MSCI's all-country world equity index to levels last seen in July 2011. The index rose 0.5 percent on Wednesday, on track for its fifth straight weekly gain.
In Europe, London's FTSE 100, Frankfurt's DAX and France's CAC-40 indexes rose by up to 0.5 percent. The FTSEurofirst 300 index rose 0.46 percent to 1142.69.
The euro rose 0.51 percent to 1.3293 to the dollar, a level not seen since April 2011, while against the yen , it gained 0.9 percent to 112.37, its highest since August 2011.
The dollar index fell to 79.077, after hitting a two-month low of 79.008.
Earlier, widespread expectations the Bank of Japan will expand its current asset-buying programme at the end of a two-day policy meeting on Thursday had sent Tokyo's Nikkei index up 2.4 percent and through the 10,000 point level for the first time since April.
The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note rose 6/32 in price to yield at 1.7996 percent.
Brent crude was up 62 cents to $109.46 a barrel as it headed toward its highest close in two weeks. U.S. oil gained 18 cents to $88.11.

March 14, 2014 Workshop Discussion on Supportive Housing Proposal
At the Monday, March 14, 2016 Workshop meeting Ted Swabey, CAO made a presentation to Council outlining the timeline relating to the BC Housing proposal to purchase the Quality Inn and to convert it into a supportive housing facility.
Council was concerned because of comments made on social media by MLA Doug Bing that indicated that he was not supportive of the Quality Inn location. Council was concerned that the local MLAs were not on board with the Provincial Government's plan and this was creating uncertainty in the community.
Council passed a motion at the Monday, March 14 Workshop that a letter be sent to Minister Rich Coleman asking for clarity because the extension of the interim shelter and the supportive housing proposal for the Quality Inn are provincial initiatives. Here is a link to the meeting video.
The Minister's Response Received on Wednesday, March 16, 2016
On Wednesday, March 16, 2016 Minister Rich Coleman sent a response to Council reiterating his support for the BC Housing proposal to extend the temporary shelter for three months and to purchase and renovate the Quality Inn to create supportive housing. Here is a copy of the letter.
Special Council Meeting, Wednesday, March 16, 2016
On Wednesday, March 16, Maple Ridge Council held a Special Council Meeting to follow up on the resolution passed at the Monday, March 14 Workshop meeting requesting clarification of the position of the Minister and local MLAs relating to the proposed purchase of the Quality Inn for a supportive housing project.
The formal reply from the Minister was received on Wednesday and Council called a special meeting, on short notice, to discuss the letter. The letter reaffirmed the Minister's commitment that the Quality Inn location is the best location.
In his letter Minister Coleman says, "We have committed to a public information session where RainCity Housing and BC Housing can respond to the community on the operational aspects of the Quality Inn." The letter did not include any comments relating to the local MLAs' position on the Province's offer relating to the Quality Inn supportive housing proposal.
Council discussed the response and passed the following motions:
"That before proceeding further with its proposal to provide supportive housing in Maple Ridge, the Provincial Government commit to including in its public forum, information about the design and operations of the facility, and an opportunity for the public to ask questions and receive answers."
"That before proceeding further with its proposal to provide supportive housing in Maple Ridge, the Provincial Government confirm that MLA Doug Bing and MLA Marc Dalton are supportive of the Quality Inn location."
The first motion was in response to concerns that were expressed by the community that the proposed information session would be an 'open house' format rather than a question and answer format. The second motion seeks to get a formal position from each of the local MLAs relating to the proposed supportive housing project from BC Housing.
After the motions were passed, Council opened the floor for questions and for the next three hours heard questions and comments from the public. Council heard comments relating to the impacts of locating the supportive housing facility at the Quality Inn location including specific concerns on issues such as:
- The lack of consultation with residents and local businesses.
- The security and safety of the neighbourhood.
- The operational model of the facility.
- The number of beds proposed versus the current number of people needing housing.
- The health care supports that would be provided at the facility.
- The impact of losing the hotel rooms to the local economy.
- The impact on those currently employed at the Quality Inn and attached restaurant.
- Concerns that the facility would attract people from other regions to Maple Ridge.
- The process going forward.
Why Was the Notice so Short for the March 16, 2016 Special Meeting?
Council deemed it important to discuss the content of the Minister's letter and their response in a public forum. The Community Charter provides Council with the opportunity to waive notice if all Council members agree. Once all Council members' attendance was confirmed the announcement of the meeting was spread widely using social media in forums where this issue has been discussed.
The only agenda item was discussion on the response from Minister Coleman, however, Council took this opportunity to provide a Question Period which lasted over two hours due to the large number of people who had taken the time to attend the meeting and ask questions.
Was the March 16, 2016 Special Meeting recorded?
Yes. The meeting was recorded and the video can be found here.
Why are Decisions Related to the Purchase of the Quality Inn and Extension of the Interim Shelter Being Made in Closed meetings?
On February 29, 2016 Council held a Closed Meeting at the request of BC Housing. At this meeting Council saw the proposal to extend the temporary shelter, purchase the Quality Inn and renovate the building to create a supportive housing facility for the first time. BC Housing made the request to hear the item in Closed due to the potential purchase of a property.
By way of background, the February 29 meeting was held pursuant to Sections 90 (1) of the Community Charter as follows:
- The acquisition of land and improvements that council considers might reasonably be expected to harm the interests of the municipality if disclosed.
- A matter that, under another enactment, is such that the public may be excluded from the meeting.
"The motion made at the February 29, 2016 Special Closed Council Meeting on the extension of the temporary shelter be released after the BC Housing press released is issued."
On March 7, 2016 BC Housing appeared for a second time before Council in a Closed Meeting with clarifications on their proposal. In response, Council passed the following motions;
"That staff work with BC Housing to develop a draft Memorandum of Understanding, for finalization after a public forum, on a congregate model of supportive housing at the Quality Inn location plus a purpose built supportive housing facility at the site provided by the City of Maple Ridge and that the Province undertake a public forum prior to March 31, 2016."
Once BC Housing made the media release on Thursday, March 10, 2016 the Council motions made in Closed were released to the public.
In summary, Council first heard the proposal on February 29, 2016 in a Closed Meeting. On March 7, 2016 a second Closed meeting was held to review new information on the proposal. Three days later the official news release from the BC Government triggered the release of the Council motions from the Closed Meetings. The matter came before the public in less than 10 days from Council first hearing the offer from BC Housing.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has charged an executive at Bristol-Myers Squibb with insider trading, citing his Internet searches as support that he tried to cover up his illegal acts.
As a high-level executive in the treasury department at Bristol-Myers Squibb, Robert D. Ramnarine helped the company target, evaluate, and acquire other pharmaceutical companies. The SEC's complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in New Jersey, alleges that Ramnarine used non-public information obtained in his professional capacity to buy and sell shares in the targeted pharmaceutical companies. According to the complaint, "Ramnarine traded in options of common stock of the soon to be acquired company. After the public announcement of each acquisition agreement, the price of the securities bought by Ramnarine went up and he sold at a profit." These trades resulted in allegedly ill-gotten gains of at least $311,361.
In addition, Ramnarine was arrested and charged with three counts of securities fraud, each with a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. He was released on a $250,000 bond.
This case is getting widespread attention not because of the nature of the crime or the amount of money involved, but because of the almost humorously transparent search terms that the SEC alleges Ramnarine entered into search engines regarding his activities, including "can stock option be traced to purchase inside trading," "insider trading options trace illegal," and "insider trading options." According to the complaint, Ramnarine performed these searches the day before buying stock options in one of Bristol-Myers Squibb's target companies.
Daniel M. Hawke, Chief of the SEC Enforcement Division's Market Abuse Unit, explained these searches by saying, "Ramnarine tried to educate himself about how the SEC investigates insider trading so he could avoid detection, but apparently he ignored countless successful SEC enforcement actions against similarly ill-motivated individuals who paid a heavy price for their illegal trading."
While we cannot jump to conclusions about why Ramnarine performed these searches, the timing in proximity to the trades is certainly suspect and will leave him with some explaining to do at trial. Ramnarine may not be the first person with an embarrassing search history, but he's a reminder that it can come to light at any time. With that in mind, for the next time you're researching a sensitive topic, here's a link to encrypted Google to use on a public computer.

Not far from Lagopesole, in the province of Potenza, is where one can find Avigliano, an important artisanal centre of the region.
The origins of its name is linked to Gens Avilia, assignee of a Fundus Avillanus, or Avilius, which included the territory of Avigliano during the Roman Republican Era (II century AD). The Fundus then followed all the vicissitudes of that region after the end of the Roman Empire: the Goth invasions and the Ostrogoth Reign (496-535), the Greek-Gothic War and the ephemeral dominion of the Byzantines (VI century), the arrival of the Longobards (VII century), who ruled the territory until the arrival of the Normans during the XI century. Avigliano was cited once more in history in a document during 1127. Avigliano merged into the Swabian Empire (1194-1269) and then became Angioiniansan property. From time to time it was assigned to various feudatories. During 1290 the Dominicans erected their convent. The City's statutes were promulgated and a University was founded in 1579. The nobles of Avigliano were the powerful Caracciolo Family and therefore the Doria Family, who ruled until the abolition of feudatory rights (1806). The seismic tremours of 1694 damaged the mother church but the population was saved. After taking part in the Republican Motions of 1799, the Renaissance motions of 1820 and 1848, as well as the Unification of Italy (1860-61), Avigliano adopted Filo-Bourbon politics and became one of the legitimistic centres of Basilicata. Firstly brigandism then emigration, were the major social phenomena which characterised the life of Avigliano during the last part of the XIX century.
The centre of Avigliano is Piazza Gianturco. From here, one can begin a visit to the Medieval village and the Riformati Church. The visit continues among churches and elegant 17th and 18th century buildings. One can visit the The Madonna del Carmine Sanctuary (1538) about 9 kilometres away, which already existed in the IX century. Not to be missed: A visit to the nearby Lagopesole, where one can admire Frederick the Great's Castle.
The Riformati Church; Madonna delle Grazie Chapel; S. Lucia Chapel; SS Trinità Chapel; San Michele Arcangelo (Archangel St. Michael) Church; Santa Maria of the Chiacchieroni Church; Taccone Towers; Baroni Sarnelli of Corani building; Doria building; Salina building; Madonna del Carmine Sanctuary; San Cataldo Thermal Springs; Lagopesole Castle (XIII century); Monte Torretta Archaeological site (XI century BC).

Porsche Carrera Cup Asia, Rounds 11&12
November 5-7, 2010
Zhuhai International Circuit, China
Round 11 - Qualifying
Menzel Takes Pole for Penultimate Race of 2010 Season
Defending Porsche Carrera Cup Asia Champion Christian Menzel kept his title defence right on track today by taking his fifth pole position of the 2010 season at the Zhuhai International Circuit in China.
The Team StarChase ace set a scorching time despite the wet track conditions, almost a second faster than guest driver Allan Simonsen of Denmark, who is standing in for OpenRoad Racing regular Marcel Tjia this weekend. Although Simonsen knows the track, this will be the former Australian GT Champion and Le Mans star's first race in Zhuhai.
Third fastest was Japan's Keita Sawa with the LKM Racing Team. Sawa's last outing with the series was at the same circuit back in June, when he recorded two second place finishes.
Championship contender Marchy Lee was 4th fastest for Red Bull Racing, while Team Jebsen's Rodolfo Avila ended his session in the gravel after losing control of his Porsche 911 GT3 Cup at the start of his first flying lap.
In Class B, it was OpenRoad Racing's Francis Tjia of Hong Kong who took pole position, his first of the season, ahead of Modena Motorsports' Wayne Shen and Pauian Archiland Team's Jeffrey Lee of Chinese Taipei. Singapore's Yuey Tan had held on to 3rd for much of the session, and his 8th overall quickest time represented his best qualifying result to date.
Menzel, who could clinch his second title tomorrow, was understandably pleased to have the advantage of pole for such a crucial race: "The car is absolutely perfect. It is especially difficult as you have to brake five times from top speed back to 2nd gear here, which is very tricky, but that's where you are winning time.
My engineer and I had some great ideas for set up, and they worked very well."
Simonsen is enjoying his first outing with the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia, despite being called up to race at the last moment: "It's very hard coming into a champion-ship you've never driven in. You have to treat it with respect." However, come race day, the man who finished 2nd in class at this year's Le Mans 24 Hours could well have some surprises in store.
For Sawa, finding a wet-weather set up has been a challenge, and he went into qualifying with some reservations: "Third is not so bad, but I have a few complaints about my own performance. I need to change my mindset for tomorrow and to work on a rain set-up," he said.
In Class B, where the competition is if anything even fiercer, Tjia was thrilled to top the time sheets in the category: "I've been trying to get on pole for the whole season, but there are always one or two drivers ahead. Now at least I have one pole position to finish the season! We had a wet race in Shanghai (last month) and now here, and I have been driving consistently. We made lots of changes to the car,we had two practice sessions and the qualifying, and the car is really good."
Shen was facing a dilemma – whether to err on the side of caution, or pick up the pace to challenge Tjia: "I am pleased, but I am concerned I am so far behind my friend. It is like a two second gap! It is very slippery out there, I tried two different settings during the session; one is faster but with a higher chance of going off, the other is easier to drive. I have to choose the more aggressive setting if I want to catch Francis in the race. I'll have to think about what to do."
Tan was overjoyed to discover he can be quick in the wet: "I went out and followed Menzel and Sawa and the quick guys, and I improved by just doing that. I went four seconds quicker. It was my best qualifying ever, and I normally don't go well in the rain!"
Menzel, for one, would relish a wet race tomorrow: "In the rain, every corner and braking area is an adventure. Every lap brings new conditions and new problems.
This is what I enjoy, which is why rallying is my favourite!"
Rounds 11 and 12 are the final races of the 2010 Porsche Carrera Cup Asia season and are being run in support of the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup at the 4.319km Zhuhai International Circuit.
Supporting the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia are two of the most recognised names in international motorsport, Mobil1 and Michelin. Mobil and Porsche have been partners since 1996. Close co-operation in research and development has led to every new Porsche engine being filled with Mobil1 high-performance lubricant.
Porsche Carrera Cup Asia drivers also have the advantage of racing on cutting-edge tyres supplied by series partner Michelin. The consistent performance and leading technology of Michelin tyres constantly improve the performance of many teams in international motorsport. The partnership between Michelin and the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia has emerged from a worldwide agreement signed between Porsche AG and the Michelin group.
The Porsche Carrera Cup Asia is organised and promoted by Malaysian based Motorsport Asia Ltd.

I love how the theme for V2 is a remix of the first one. I loved the theme in the first one.
i could easily see this game being more opened up in the full game
I don't think it'd make sense to give you a perfectly linear map direction in a sniper game, at all.
You were forced to be more stealthy or else you get killed? What do you mean it has nothing to do with stealth?
Target audience for this title isn't "hardcore" pc gamers. Its targeted to the same group that likes to not think.
They were too accurate. The devs like to put guys with MG34's on the top of buildings who were more accurate than the snipers were! Sure, camo was considered but poorly implemented. The only real times it ever came up is when you hid under stuff and even then the AI became clairvoyant after a bit and shot your ass to pieces. I'd also like to point out you comparing a DEMO LEVEL that for all intensive purposes looks like it was altered for the demo against an older game with frankly less than stellar stealth elements even for the day. Over-glorification at it's finest.
Except you being disguised never really came up all that often.
Honestly, apart from the health regen the gameplay remains fundamentally unchanged for the most part.
Too bad health regen ruins the entire premise of the game.
It probably wouldn't take much to mod it out if health regeneration bothers you this much.
No not really.
i've been playing SE1 for the first time since yesterday and I feel like a total prude to stealth. i've been playing on sniper elite difficulty and i feel retarded because i've been trying to make everything beyond perfect so i can flaunt off my amazing skills to myself. i played the first mission for like three hours yesterday over and over again to perfect it and i think i only beat it twice because i either majorly fucked up and died or... uh, i just majorly fucked up. i think that's what makes it so rewarding over-all.
i hope SE V2 has that kind of effect too. the demo makes it feel multi-linear because it tells you GO TO THIS VANTAGE POINT TO TAKE OUT TARGETS when it should obviously just tell you targets are marked here, take them out with whatever means necessary and it really, really ruins your ability to play how you want. in SE1 i have about ten different angles and possibilities to taking this guy out whereas in V2's demo I have a street with a few pieces of rubble that I can hide behind and a building that I've holed up in.
I think having medical kits would be better. Not the ancient "Walk-over-me-to-heal" kits, but one that can be withdrawn like a weapon and takes a few precious seconds to patch yourself up in the third person.
I agree,
However, apparently this entire thread disagrees with this.
Yes, we get it, you don't like the game.
You were judging the whole game on just this demo.
He was reviewing the demo.
I know, I just love the uniform he had.
i guarantee you p much everybody agrees with what i said
Oh my automerge.
the first game had that. although i kind of wished you would have an animation to bandage yourself up because you immediately max out your health again upon use and really you only use it when you're getting shot and are behind cover so you can pop back out and counter-slay the fucker gunning at you.
really, the way it should be is you're given a few bandages to stop bleeding and that's about it. you should get punished for getting shot more than anything that doesn't result in death because the whole concept of being a sniper is to leave the enemy on their toes yet completely unprepared.
and now that I reflect upon it, I notice the MG nest and open windows on the building to the left at the beginning of the game so I'm imagining more than likely all of that is opened up so you have a lot more capacity to maneuver about. One can dream!
No. I was definitely reviewing the demo.
Thats probably not actually the start of the mission.
With the way the MG nest is set up, though, it doesn't really cover anything. I wouldn't be surprised if the building you start in is gone completely.
I'm still really peeved that this game is Vista / Win7 only... It's just like with Battlefield 3 - a game that won't run on XP yet the shitty DirectX 9 Xbox 360 runs it just dandy, same as this.
Will have to break out the old Win7 hard drive I preconfigured last year some time. I know it's in a box here somewhere... Damnit.
Not sure if anybody has found this yet, but eh:
If you go around the back alleys you can see the same gate model put over paths and they don't look like they spent much time because there are huge gaps in some points.
My best guess would be that they took one of the levels and just blocked off areas to make it smaller and more direct.
Got this while playing yesterday.I wished we had more high powered scope in this one :(
Yeah, and in the same post I said "i could practically run and gun through the whole mission". Apparently Sniper Elite v2 demo isn't a game. You heard it here first.
If this was any more obvious it'd have a neon sign and a klaxon would be going off.
ye dude ha n1
never played anything in the series. I downloaded the demo and I can't stop replaying it.
the first game is pretty great too. the AI's pretty good other than they sprint pretty much everywhere and are godly accurate. and they pinpoint your location before even you know what's going on. and they'll run in what i'm assuming are precalculated paths so they won't really ever go and try to hunt you down. at least that's what i've noticed. so in the long run the AI really isn't that good to begin with and I'm an awful liar. but the game is pretty solid nonetheless.
solid is as in as solid as a wet turd. turd because it's unforgiving as fuck and you feel dirty when you get cheated and buttplugged by an armada of ruskies right at the beginning of the game because you did an oopsie.
If you're not just backpedaling and you actually mean this, then you should have realized that we weren't talking about the demo way earlier.
And explain this
You didn't say SE2 demo, you said SE2.
The Reichstag level is a good example of the godly accurate enemies and the Supply Depot level is a good example of the enemies following the same paths.
Also SE1 had it's fair share of linear levels and anyone who says otherwise is lying through their teeth.
Huh interesting. Gotta try that.
Holy shit, I just shot someone in the balls and as the bullet was exiting it hit a grenade. His entire crotch area caught fire.
How do oyu use the zoom levels?
Mouse wheel.

This is the 'broadcast' part of REM live in Hyde Park, London, on the 16th July 2005.
It was the final date of their 2004/05 world tour, and had been put back one week due to the terrorist attack on London's tube system, just days earlier.
I have seen a number of bands and artists myself in Hyde Park. I recognise it has been used considerably as a venue in recent years.
A good number of charitable events have been televised in the UK. It is easy to get the impression that this is a fine venue to play.
Hyde Park is a very big place, a very large park.
For around ten years now, the gigs are performed with the stage at the Marble Arch end. The audience are placed parallel with Park Lane going south, between the internal roads.
If nothing else, I hope I have confused some New Yorkers at there own game now, regarding concerts in Central Park (this time last year I was in Manhattan so understand this is said with kind affection).
Put simply this part of Hyde Park is flat, easy to fit in 80,000 people, not so easy to ensure they all hear, or even see the event.
In all seriousness unless you are an absolute fan, you are better off listening to the radio broadcast of the event if available, rather than risking, not being a part of the audience, close to the stage. Like I said, I have seen a number of acts there, it is a challenging venue for crowd and artist. REM did quite well!
This is REM as broadcast on BBC Radio Two live. It is not the full concert, rather the final hour. The sound quality is FM stereo, at it's best. I think it fair to say despite the challenges of the venue REM had their hearts in this gig, what do you think?
Tracks are:
01 - Kenneth
02 - One I Love
03 - Drive
04 - The Outsiders
05 - Leaving New York
06 - Everybody Hurts
07 - Electron Blue
08 - Final Straw
09 - Orange Crush
10 - Walk Unafraid
11 - Losing My Religion
12 - Man On The Moon
