Quiet here today. T must still be tied up.
They have (did at the time I was there) a bar in Camp,,
Called the Tamarack Club.
The first day I was there got to goof off and play pool all day.
We missed the safety orentation meeting.
They issue a PASS that you have to keep with you at all times and show it to any security gaurd that asks for it.
We got a food card that got punched at every meal that we ate.
All and all it seemed like one step above jail....
Just my musings.
But Fred Mac isn't for this welder!
Spent almost 6 months at the Bonnie Glenn Gas plant.
Worked in the Strathacona Refinery. The Devon Plant.
OT - I'm on the workers side.
But OT does kill a budget single handedly.
I would say that the OT will cost too much.
Have you ever worked their?
Do you like the smell of ashvault?
I threw my clothes away after 3 weeks there, couldn't get the smell out of them.
Never went back there.
Looks like I have all the numbers,, But not in the right place. LOL
Seems to be happenin' a bit earlier this year from last if I remember. Thought it didn't start last year till April and everything was all leaved out by the 3rd week.
Should realy start keeping a journal.
Just to see if the growing saeaon is getting longer.
Starting to turn green. As soon as it warms up a bit everything will be bloomin'
The Iraqi Bourse is active again
Translated by IRAQdirectory.com - [17/03/2007]
After the decision of allowing Arabs and foreigners to circulate in the Iraqi bourse, activity started to crawl back into various sectors of the stock exchange, and especially banks and industry; the main indicators rose and the number of companies whose shares are being circulated increased, following a stage of decline in the bourse during the months of January and February. The number of transactions carried out in the first session during the month of March reached 361 deal, while the volume of circulation rose to one million and 321 thousand dinars, and the number of shares traded around was about 709 thousand shares; the number of companies that have been circulating their shares rose to 38 companies from among the companies enlisted in seven sectors, and which amount to 93 companies with a nominal capital of 774 billion dinars. it is hoped that indicators will continue escalating during the sessions of March so that the bourse's activity would be back to its former era, especially that electronic exchange will enter the Iraqi bourse in April after setting up devices and equipments and training the cadres for this developed type of circulation.

Canadians are worth $150,500 a head
Friday, March 16, 2007
OTTAWA — Canada's net worth, the value of the country's non-financial assets less what Canadians owe abroad, hit $4.9-trillion, or $150,500 per capita, at the end of last year.
Statistics Canada says the country's net worth expanded by $131-billion, or 2.7 per cent, in the last quarter of 2006.
Much of the gain came in the rising values of homes and part came from a sharp drop in foreign debts.
On a year-over-year basis, national net worth jumped 9.3 per cent last year, well above the 5.7 per cent growth recorded in 2005.
While net worth was up, Canadians still managed to pile up mortgage and consumer debt.
Households on average now owe $1.10 for every dollar of disposable income.

The application of the new Iraqi Investment Law
Translated by IRAQdirectory.com - [15/03/2007]
The application of the new Iraqi investment law has actually started after announcing the formation of the National Investment Institution which will be responsible for designing investment policies, drafting regulations and monitor their application.
A high-ranking source in the Iraqi Ministry of Finance said that the purpose of the Institution is to be responsible for all investment projects of federal nature exclusively, as there will be regional and provincial bodies, which will also be responsible for investment planning and the granting of invest licenses in their regions. The National Institution is run by a council consists of nine members with expertise and competence, and the chairman of the council is nominated by the Cabinet for a period of five years; The Parliament has the right to depose the chairman and his deputy directly at the request of the Prime Minister.
The source said that the law aims to achieve a number of objectives; the most important of which are: encourage investment and transfer modern technologies to contribute in developing the Iraqi economy, also encourage the Iraqi and foreign private sector to investment in Iraq through securing the necessary facilities for the establishment of enterprises and enhance competitiveness, as well as develop the human resources according to the market requirements and provide job opportunities for the unemployed. In addition to this, the law contained some articles concerning the protection of the rights and properties of investors and the expansion of exports, balance of payments and Iraqi trade balance.
As for what facilities Iraq will grant to foreign and Arab investors, he emphasized that the law grants all the projects presented by Arabs and foreigners concessions and guarantees that ensure their continuation and development, as well as exempting them from taxes and duties, while the Institution will be responsible for identifying the most important sectors and preparing a map for projects in the light of the information provided by the provincial and regional bodies, then organizing them in lists which the investor can obtain.
As for the possibility of the regions projects contradicting the laws of the federal Institution, he emphasized that the law dealt with this matter; regional bodies have rights, including the right to form departments within their districts and they should coordinate with the Federal Center regarding the investment plans and facilities, on condition that regional investment instructions, plans and policies do not contradict with the policies of the Center.
The law also tackled the limits of these projects’ capitals, and the Institution has been given the power to accept applications of licenses to projects with a capital not less than the minimum one determined by the Cabinet or the regional Council of Ministers. Also the approval of these bodies should be obtained when starting a project with a capital of more than $ 250 million and the project exempted from taxes and duties for a period of ten years from the date of starting the commercial operation.
The Cabinet has the right to propose bills to extend or grant exemptions in addition to the exemptions listed and also provide incentives and guarantees or other concessions to any project, sector or region and in accordance with the nature of the activity, its geographical location and the extent of its contribution to the operation of manpower requirements and considerations of national interest; the law also permitted increasing the years of exemption from taxes and duties of up to fifteen years.
As for the machinery and equipment imported for the investment project, the source explained that those equipments are exempted from taxes and duties on condition they are admitted within three years of granting the license; those same articles are exempted in case of expansion or increasing the designing power. The imported spare parts are also exempted from taxes on condition they do not exceed 20% of the purchase value of those equipments.
