The Canadian Stockbroker© | TCS newswire™: "America quoted from “THE REPUBLIC of EAST VANCOUVER” Issue #147 September 15 to 28, 2006

The American century draws to its close

Like all world-dominating empires before it, America has stopped growing. The rest is inevitable

By Dan Adleman

In the lead-up to the fifth anniversary of 9/11, George Bush went on vacation to his Crawford ranch, where, when he wasn’t playing cowboy, he apparently did a little light reading. One of the books we’re told he dusted off was Camus’ The Stranger, which The Daily Show’s John Stewart quickly pointed out is a story about an unreflective “westerner who kills an Arab for no good reason and dies with no remorse.” To a great many observers, this sounds like a fitting summary of not only the Bush legacy and America’s fate in Iraq and Afghanistan, but also what will become of Uncle Sam’s stature in the 21st century."

The Globe and Mail: Tremors may mean 'Big One' on its way: "By MARK HUME

Vancouver — A silent tectonic event, so powerful it has shifted southern Vancouver Island out to sea, but so subtle nobody has felt a thing, is slowly unfolding on the West Coast.

Scientists who are tracking the event with sensitive seismographs and earth orbiting satellites warn it could be a trigger for a massive earthquake -- some time, maybe soon.

But they are quick to add that the imperceptible tremors emanating from deep beneath the surface are sending signals scientists are not yet able to comprehend fully and 'the Big One' might yet be 200 years off.

What they do know is that the earth is moving this week on the West Coast as two massive tectonic plates slip past each other."

But wait -- never sign up with a brokerage solely because of its trading fees. Other factors you should consider might matter more. For example, if you buy or sell stocks only four times a year, finding the lowest commission fee won't save you all that much. Meanwhile, some brokerages charge quarterly account fees just for having an account with them. These are often waived if your account is large enough, but if it isn't you may be forking over more than $150 per year. Look at all fees a brokerage charges, and consider what conveniences it offers you (local branches, perhaps, or check-writing services) and how well it meets your needs.

(Partial clip, go read the whole release by going to yahoo or any financial news site now. It's important)

ABOUT TVA PRODUCTIONS.

Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for the Secret Service. The Secret Service was able to monitor the President from remote locations during the opening and closing ceremonies of 2002 Winter Olympic games held in Salt Lake City, Utah.


We think this company is incredible.

A WORLD CLASS STAGE AND ENTERTAINMENT FACILITY
Chairman’s Summation


The Titan Project in Calgary encompasses a world-class destination 8,000 seat venue, an ancillary retail complex and a 350 seat restaurant. We are working closely with the city and community. We have made the final site selection and intend to continue this spring/summer on the site engineering. The site we prefer has the City of Calgary’s’ endorsement and is connected to light rail transit, major transportation routes and in very close proximity to the airport. The site is located at an LRT station. Titan has a firm commitment to the community and it is within our corporate philosophy and interest to suit the community’s needs. The initial phase of the project is large; market factors in this location will demand at least 8000 seats. We at The Titan Group feel this project completed would be among our City’s most important resources, as important to our children and citizens as any other learning institution.

The world class look, feel and campus setting of the Titan project on about eight acres in south central Calgary, Canada’s business centre, will bring very positive results. Titan intends to be a very noticeable corporate citizen committed to improving public life, preserving cultures, providing educating experiences and entertainment while changing and touching the very fabric of people’s lives.

What we ask for is your endorsement of the cultural benefits a medium size venue brings to a community. Severally we ask for you to investigate the numbers of relationships we could have, branding opportunities, product supply, philanthropic and many others. We would like to have supply relationships with the community for our stage and studio needs. We intend to give generously to charities of all kinds allowing easy access to the facility for fund raising or community activities and invite your participation. We would additionally accept suggestions for the representation of meaningful corporate “stories” in one of the most noticeable settings and the birthplace of Titan Canada.

Calgary and two other cities in Canada need medium size venues now and The Titan Group intends to build and manage them. We have an impressive number of endorsements to date and a growing list of supporters. We also have a growing number of “best of class” promoters and talent buyers who intend to book the facility. There are quite frankly so many layers of opportunity in this venture I would like to talk with you about.

Best Regards
M. Shane David

Red Reishi Mushroom / Ganoderma lucidum / Ling Zhi: 'Red Reishi Mushroom General Information
Even though there are several different colors of Reishi mushrooms, Red Reishi is the one that is most well known and used. For over 4000 years, Red Reishi mushrooms have been most revered in traditional Chinese medicine equaling ginseng as a premier substance for the attainment of radiant health, longevity, and spiritual attainment. Traditionally, Reishi has been used as an anti-aging herb to treat many diseases and disorders. Daoist traditionalists rever this mushroom as the elixir of immortality, claiming it promotes calmness, centeredness, balance, and inner awareness and strength. Reishi contains sterols, coumarin, mannitol, polysaccharides, and triterpenoids called ganoderic acids. It is thought that ganoderic acid lowers blood pressure, LDL (low density lipoprotein cholesterol), and triglyceride levels. Those triterpenoids also play an important role in lowering the risk of coronary artery disease.'"

: "The actual discovery of coffee is vague, however most accounts point to a quaint legend of a goatherd in the 1400's who noticed his goats acting more lively than usual. He looked over to see some of the herd chewing on bushes heavy with red berries. Curious, he plucked a few berries for himself and after chewing on them, noticed his energy increase substantially. He took the berries to a local monastery where the chief monk boiled the berries in water and produced an aromatic but bitter liquid, which when drunk acted as a stimulant and warded off drowsiness and fatigue.

Pure Planet
The purpose of this document is to describe a proposed new management and operations plan for PLANET CATERING (the Planet)

This initiation seeks the commitment of the Planet, M. Shane David and Key Staff. The plan while general at this time will support the needs of the Planet, M. Shane David and the existing key staff members. With many possible strategies and the real desire to culminate much individual experience, discussion, research and lobbying over the years by the Planet and M. Shane David, we propose to create in a team environment new goals and directions for the Planet. Within this plan lies a new corporate structure or joint venture arrangement having real ownership for the Planet, M. Shane David and Key Staff members.

The essence of the plan is in the personal standards of the management team, the quality of the staff we build, the procedures, the service standards and ultimately the client’s perception of the deliverables. The Plan is dedicated to developing staff through training and will do so in part by providing all operations, orientation, sanitation, recipe and procedural manuals. The benefits of such a plan include the efficient use of resources and a plan that is more apt to produce the desired results. The primary goal of the plan is to structure a program that both operates efficiently and generates enough sales to meet and exceed the corporation's goals.

With our mutual acceptance of this strategic plan and desire to produce a preliminary operations guide, a document will be drawn up that outlines in detail, the “Company” the exact time lines, operations schedules and including a memorandum of understanding.

Delivering world class whole natural food catering, products and entertainment services to clients primarily based in downtown Calgary is a realistic goal. In order to build the Planet into the profitable, market-oriented corporation it seeks to become, one of its most urgent needs is strong management planning and control coupled with a marketing program dedicated to sourcing new markets while delivering excellence of service to existing clienteles. A well thought out and documented plan that takes into account the state of the industry, the Planet’s current position in the industry, and the Planet’s goals.
.
Looking forward from September 2004, our vision is to become the leading Calgary catering organization. Our values are to conduct business with integrity, to develop staff through training, to provide our customers with top quality products and services leading to long term alliances with our clients and to mutual success and growth.
To do this, a strong, highly organized and efficient catering team must be in place when the marketing plan goes into action. A comprehensive plan requires looking at today's needs and those that are likely to develop in the near future as a result of more exposure and more sales. The long-range sales goals and sales team-operating plan should be considered so that strategies and internal systems will not become obsolete.

U.S. Government's Lord's Prayer
U.S. Government's Lord's Prayer

Our [U.S.] Father, whose predominant residence pattern is widely perceived as being in an exo-atmospheric environment, your name shall be treated, as a matter of course, in a reverential demeanor appropriate to existing protocol guidelines. It is to be hoped that, as an optimal result of the ongoing situational development, your form of governmental institution may be, in accordance with the appropriate procedures, finalized within the foreseeable future, in forms applicable to both bilateral and multilateral fora. It is therefore to be hoped that you will undertake the creation of the necessary administrative modalities so as to ensure the provision to recipient entities of requisite alimentary sustance. Help our antagonists to recognize that any temporary, unvalidated and erronneous presumptions of instances of our apparent non-compliance with duly undertaken obligations arise from their refusal to objectively assess the broad parameters of our clearly-demonstrated-over-time, historic pattern of full commitment and, most importantly, have no bearing on our relationship while noting that their consistent unquestionable pattern of non-compliant behavior introduces substantial concern over the sustained viability of their willingness to observe so essential a set of international obligations. We call upon you to reduce the availabilty of opportunities for any perceived deviation on our part from proscribed norms, both substantive and normative, and reduce the willingness of our opponents to examine closely the facts of our position. For it is the [U.S.] father, who has complete jusisdiction, and all encompassing authority indefinitely. Provide us with appropriate modalities for coming, with all deliberate expeditiousness, to closure, unless otherwise agreed between the parties.

JOHNNIE BEEN GOOD?
JOHNNIE BEEN GOOD? by Greg Palast [Boston] The millionaires are dancing now. The balloons are falling on John Kerry, John Edwards and their nuclear families.
They're playing "Johnnie B. Goode" over the loudspeakers. Democrats are hopping up and down like JFK never went to Dallas; like Bill Clinton didn't blow it for us; like there's a chance to bring the boys home alive; like America can crawl out of Dick Cheney's bunker and look at the sun again.
But has Johnnie Kerry been good so far?
He told us tonight about some poor bastard in Ohio whose job evaporated when his company unbolted the equipment and sent it south. Hey, Johnnie, didn't you vote for NAFTA?
I applauded when he said the White House should stop treating teachers and school kids like fugitives from justice and help them out. But, Johnnie, didn't you vote for George Bush's "No Child's Behind Left" assault on public education?
Then there was that little story meant to show us all he is a Man for All Seasons, above party politics. "I broke with many in my own party," he said, "to vote for a balanced budget, because I thought it was the right thing to do." No, John, it wasn't. It was craven political cowardice, going with the anti-government hysteria that put a knife into the heart of the programs you cried over tonight.
He told us the sad story of the poor homeless guy huddled in front of the White House. Is this the same John Kerry that voted for Clinton's welfare "reform"? That put a five-year limit on food stamps, making child starvation the law of the USA. At least Ronald Reagan offered ketchup as a vegetable.
Kerry made good use of the cash he saved on feeding the poor. "I fought to put a 100,000 cops on the street." Hey, thanks, John.
But my absolute favorite of the night was when Kerry told us, "Saying there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq doesn't make it so. As President, I will ask hard questions and demand hard evidence."
But, as Senator, you didn't. No questions asked: you just closed your eyes and voted for the lie. I know it, and you sure as hell know it.
And you mentioned a time or two tonight that you served your country. Got yourself a medal for it, too. I'm sorry, but shooting a Vietnamese teenager in the back who was defending his country doesn't make you a hero.
Yesterday, my buddy Michael Moore and I held a press conference in Boston. Some joker of a reporter asked Mr. Fahrenheit about Kerry's gung-ho keep'm-in-Baghdad position. Michael fudged and fidgeted. I felt bad for him as he faked the answer, "President Kerry would not have sent us to war." But as Senator, Kerry did.
I've got an easier job than Michael: as a journalist I don't have to defend any candidate. Nevertheless, I know that my Democratic Party friends will want to ship me to Guantanamo for asking, "You believe in Kerry, but does he believe in you?"
Remember, comrades, I'm only asking questions, here. I'm sorry if the answers make you uncomfortable about your favorite rich guy.
I know what you're going to say. "Isn't Bush worse?"
By a long shot. Asking if Kerry is as bad as Bush is like asking if a slap in the face is as painful as a brick to the skull.
But don't you get tired of being slapped around by privileged politicos on hypocrisy hyper-drive -- then having to applaud? It can't be pleasant, no matter how many pretty balloons they drop on your head.
